Birthdays & Big Blocks

Tommy: The Daily Talk Show.

Josh: It's The Daily Talk Show, episode 839.

Tommy: What's happening, guys? What's going on? Happy Tuesday.

Josh: Happy birthday, Tommy Jacket.

Tommy: Thank you, mate. Thank you.

Josh: Round of applause is the only thing I have.

Tommy: Yeah, I got that when I went to the coffee shop this morning.

Josh: Really?

Tommy: Um, no.

Josh: Did they know it was your birthday?

Tommy: Uh, nah, in a previous life, um, I would have probably hinted.

Josh: Birthday boy badge.

Tommy: Hey, yeah, hey, yeah, birthday boy's here. No, no, no, didn't.

Josh: So why didn't you nowadays?

Tommy: Well, I don't know, this definitely feels— yeah, I definitely, um, this year it's, it's a different story. It's— I don't know, I just feel like I don't really care as much about my birthday this year. 32. It's, um, nothing to sort of, you know, scream and cry about. I mean, it's probably— yeah, definitely don't scream and cry.

Josh: Were you gonna say definitely don't scream? You want to have a cry?

Tommy: No, I might cry. No, no, I started the day, got up early, thought, okay, uh, Bodhi wouldn't let me do any work last night because he wouldn't go to sleep until like 9:30, and so I ended up giving up at that, and I said, oh well. I'll get up early and do some work.

Josh: I did enjoy when I was on the phone with you and you said, not in Dad, Daddy's office. I'm thinking, mate, your office is in the lounge room. It is.

Tommy: There's a dividing little shelf partition between— yeah, a little partition between us and the couch area. So I get where he's a bit confused with it all. But then I got up early this morning to just do some work, and he comes down 15 minutes later, it's— And then I'm like, oh well, this is done. I can't do any work.

Josh: Did he know it was your birthday straight away?

Tommy: He came down, the first thing he said was, happy birthday, dada. Oh, that's so cute.

Josh: Do you think that Amy told him to say that, or do you think that he—

Tommy: Mate, he's on to birthdays like nobody. Like, we talked about it before he went to sleep last night, and I think it was the reason he went to sleep was because he knew he could wake up and then celebrate my birthday. But the problem is He thinks it's a time where he can benefit immensely. So, he's like, comes down, happy birthday, and then he wants a lollipop.

Josh: He wants a lollipop.

Tommy: He wants a lollipop.

Josh: That's not how it works.

Tommy: But I had a lovely breakfast cooked by my beautiful wife, shakshuka.

Josh: Oh, shakshuka, lovely.

Tommy: Mate, fancy. You know it's your birthday when you're getting shakshuka on a Tuesday.

Josh: I know. That's never happened.

Tommy: I had some shakshuka, got a coffee from down the road.

Josh: So bread with the shakshuka?

Tommy: Yeah, 2 pieces. Naughty, you know, carb up, let loose. And I got a nice card from, uh, from my wife who— well, the card is a piece of paper that she's drawn, but that's Bodhi's painting that he did for me.

Josh: Oh, that's very nice.

Tommy: So yeah.

Josh: What colour is that? Yellow? It's like a—

Tommy: 'Oh my God, this is a piece of toilet paper. That is shit.' No, it's a blend of every colour that almost resembles sort of someone who's a sick baby.

Josh: Yeah, yeah, no, I get it.

Tommy: But I did, I'm launching a video tomorrow that I've been working on this morning, and it required me to receive a parcel, and I've been waiting, waiting. And over the weekend, like, 2 parcels came. And then on Monday, 2 parcels came. But one of them was not the thing I was waiting for. It was something else. And I nearly opened it on the video because it's the unboxing's a part of it.

Josh: So how did you realize?

Tommy: Like, so literally when I called you, we were FaceTiming.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: And I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, just got the thing that I need. And you're like, no, no, no, no, that's— who's it from? And I was like, Amazon? You're like, no.

Josh: Yeah, I said UPS.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, I said UPS.

Josh: Yeah, yes. And so it's a— yeah, there's a box. You want me to full screen you? Yep, because it's got my address on it, mate. You're moving anyway, you'll be fine. Uh, so the, uh, yeah, it is a box. I, uh, do we want to play a guessing game? Right, so the thing is, I did have this—

Tommy: I think I know what it is. I think I know what it is. And I— and the thing is As I get older, I want to move away from being the know-it-all that just wants to guess it. Like, you and I are very fucking hard to get. I think we're just so on to shit. I think I know what it is. I'm not going to tell you, but this is because I want to pretend like I know. I don't know.

Josh: Do you know? Do you think you know?

Tommy: I think I know.

Josh: So this is, this is, it's a real risk of birthdays, isn't it?

Tommy: What do you mean?

Josh: Well, just like, because I've done this before and Bree gets real pissed off about it because I always go big. I'm like, you got me a fucking iPad, didn't you? She's like, no, I got you a new wallet.

Tommy: And no, I think I know what it is.

Josh: Why? Why do you—

Tommy: can I write it down on a piece of paper? So I don't want to guess it. I'll write it down on a piece of paper and then that way you can at least see that I've written something.

Josh: What makes you think that you know what I got you?

Tommy: A classic telltale sign is getting something from Amazon because you can't get everything in Australia, and Amazon usually is bringing over an international product. And so at that moment, I know. It's so da— like, I hate the way that it connects these up.

Josh: So you know that it's an international thing?

Tommy: Well, I think so. It's come from the fulfilment center. I just saw it then. I thought this before I even looked. Lexington, USA. Okay.

Josh: And so the box, it's a bigger box.

Tommy: Yep. And so just writing this.

Josh: Okay, here we go. Is this— and then I realized, I had a realisation this morning because I'm like, fuck, Jess said, "Oh, what have you organised like for Tommy?" What do you mean? So yeah, what are we doing? I'm like, "Oh, he says he's 32nd." Like it's not like the biggest deal, but you do have the fear. There is the fear where, because our birthdays are so close together, I don't want to underbake. I feel like I've underbaked your birthday.

Tommy: Yeah..

Josh: But can we also respect the fact that it's my 30th? So, if there is a little bit more that happens and there's more organising, it's not because I'm an asshole. It's just because I'm an asshole. I don't know.

Tommy: So, how many weeks away to your birthday?

Josh: 2 weeks today. So, on the 14th, the day— Funnily enough, I tried to book a doctor's appointment because I'm— very puffy. I'm looking like Kyle Sandler at the moment because I've got, um, very— what is it? What's it called? My glands. Oh, that's right, my glands have been really big and, um, and I haven't been feeling that great. And I'm not good at going to the doctors, and Bree's like, you gotta go to the doctors. And she talks to my mum, and my mum's always fucking hyperbolic, and she's like, ah, Bree's like, oh, Josh has like a lump in his neck. Neck. And Mum's like, oh, Pa had cancer in his neck, you know that? Yeah. And so fucking Bree's like, oh fuck, he's got cancer. And so like, you need to book— like, so she's been— she was on my back yesterday saying you need to book an appointment. She's like, I'll do it for you, telehealth. And so she logged in and she kept getting declined, uh, when she was putting through the appointment. And then we get a— got a call from the medical centre and they said, oh, just confirming, you keep getting declined, I just need to confirm your birthday. And I said the 14th of the 9th, 1990. They said, ah, yep, okay, that matches, we can do that now. You had on record on your doc, hot doc thing, which is like the telehealth to booking, the 15th of September, which I don't know if you remember, but that was your doing. You fucked up my birthday because you wanted me to get my blood work done for the show. And you did, you booked the whole thing, but you did the wrong birthday. So, yeah, anyway. So, birthday's the 14th.

Tommy: To be honest, as I said, your birthday's 2 weeks away. I thought it was the 15th.

Josh: No, it's the 14th. Think about it.

Tommy: 14th. No, the easy way for me, my son's birthday is the 14th. Yeah, of Feb. 14th of Feb, but you're easy to remember, same birth. Month is May. All right, can I open this?

Josh: Yeah, you can.

Tommy: So I've written down on a piece of paper.

Josh: Okay, can I just also, can I also say that the, um, they didn't offer gift wrapping. And so the annoying thing is there's no gift wrapping, and because you can't select gift, you just have to move aside the receipt. Like, it's not like normally you can click hide and do all that nice stuff. Okay, but this is just like you've received the package.

Tommy: Okay, I'm just opening this. Okay, I don't want to be too— I don't want to pierce it or anything.

Josh: Okay, okay, he's using a screwdriver.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, all right, there we go. It's a bit of bubble wrap in there.

Josh: Okay, good.

Tommy: All right, all right.

Josh: Is that what you thought it was? Is it what you thought it was?

Tommy: Coffee Table Book, one I was telling you about.

Josh: You've forgotten the name of it.

Tommy: I forgot the name of it. And the great thing is it doesn't have a name on the front, but I'm pumped about this. This is so good.

Josh: So, this was—

Tommy: I'm so pumped.

Josh: This is the, yeah, the photo book where the kid was— Can you open? I'm curious to see what it's like. This is one of the few times where I bought a book for someone and I didn't buy myself a copy. Like, normally I buy two of them. Okay.

Tommy: A guy named Mike Brodie, and it's called A Period of Juvenile Prosperity. And so I'm so good, it's so pumped because 100% it's not something I would buy myself. Yeah, I found this book telling you, like, if I was to buy something, it would be this. And so well done, well played. Um, oh, it's nice too. Nice.

Josh: And so look at that. Oh, that's so nice. And so there's a lot of insight there, isn't there?

Tommy: It's a, it's a real picture book. Uh-huh.

Josh: Your vibe.

Tommy: That's what I love about it.

Josh: Yeah, does it smell good?

Tommy: Smells real good. This is one of my favourite photos. Look at that. Oh yeah, it's a guy hanging off the back of a train, putting his rude finger up, but he looks like someone out of like a, you know, some sort of, uh, Rascals film or something. I love it. And that's going to go perfectly in our new house, like coffee table. Like, we've got finally like a separate living area, like a Right now we've got like an open plan that's sort of a bit shit that goes into the kitchen area. But thank you. Into your office. Thanks for my birthday present, mate.

Josh: That's all good.

Tommy: Appreciate it.

Josh: What are you most excited about for your day?

Tommy: Well, it's— no, to be honest, it's— I reckon like the lockdown is definitely getting— it's at the back end. Not to be a Debbie Downer, but it's definitely sort of running its course on the family. I even said to you earlier, I was like, mate, I don't even know how you get sick in this lockdown. Like, isn't that bizarre that, like, I haven't felt well the last couple of days, but legit, it's like, what the fuck? It's maybe that we're not doing much.

Josh: Well, it sounded like Bodhi was having an exorcism yesterday on the phone, like, and you're just like trying to be like, real cool about it, like, yeah, mate, yeah, yeah, like just keeping going with your conversation. You hear, yeah, that was the next— that was, that was next level. Is he losing his mind, which is making you lose your mind? Is that what's going on?

Tommy: Oh dude, I'm—

Josh: what's he doing?

Tommy: The edge. Amy's on the edge. It's, it's just children. They just, they don't understand it. And like, think about adults struggling with this whole thing. And it's like, kids, they really like— they don't understand it. They fucking— you know, he gets one lollipop yesterday and wants another, losing his mind about it. And so it's hard because you've really got to like— I think I'm probably— I probably have a bit of anger in me, and it's things like parenting that really can sort of spark it up. And you've really— it's, it's You've got to make a conscious choice in the moment of just like dropping it. Like, I almost have had— I've had feelings as a parent in the last week of when I was a young kid myself. And I think I was like, I had a fair bit of anger as a kid, you know, like push back and, you know, just a bit of a rebel. And I feel that sort of anger towards the whole situation. And I'm like, oh God, this is not good. Like, it's like, how could I put it? Imagine, have you had a feeling that's been triggered later in life that you're like, oh fuck? It'd be almost like when you're in high school and you get bullied and you're like, fuck that shit, that's not happening ever again.

Josh: Yeah, the public meltdown. Have I? I haven't had any really good— I watched a public meltdown last night, a guy like in his car just like fucking yelling at a real— like, um, I was just like, I just always film. I'm just like, it's just an instinct. Just, oh my God, a meltdown. Better get the camera out just in case something happens.

Tommy: But there's a real out of control nature to it. Like, it taps into this, this other dimension that you just, you don't want to be a part of.

Josh: Like, what are you saying? No, no, no, no, fuck you to the barista. That's what I imagine happening.

Tommy: Yeah, it is like that. But I remember, yeah, as a kid in high school, like even in school, like where you just, yeah, I just remember that sort of, I think the danger of anger is it's such an easy go-to. Like it's not for everybody. Isn't it funny that some people, their sort of release is in anger? And so anyway, found myself getting a bit on that, heading that direction, and you've got to really just go, what's it all mean? Not much. Like when you're worried about having to do something and then you're like, oh fuck, it's like we're not in a— we're not in our normal operating zone.

Josh: It's not like there's empathy for yourself. Or like, I've definitely done that where it's like, ah, you know, I've been slack on getting back to something or doing something. It's like, look, the amount of pain that it's causing me internally is way more than the actual thing. And so it's like, it's— it comes down to like not wanting to disappoint people or whatever it is, or— and then you create a storey around what it's like. No, especially because right now, uh, a lot of people are unreasonable. There's a lot of unreasonableness going on because it's like everyone's struggling. And so then what happens is people are unreasonable, we then take it personally, and then anger and all of that sort of stuff flares up.

Tommy: And it's, yeah, the perspective is, uh, we're not in a normal situation. And on the other side, like, yeah, it's, it's, it's not how we normally act when we've got a kid in childcare and we're working and, yeah, you know, It's, um, but yeah, I had to go out for a walk yesterday. I was like, fuck this.

Josh: Well, I remember my friend Sai, when she, she took a quote from the, uh, I think it's like prenatal, they do like prenatal classes or whatever. This is one of the things that they say. It's like, go outside before you shake the baby.

Tommy: And the funny thing is, physically shake it.

Josh: Yeah, yeah, yeah. But the thing is, the way that it like Sian, like, used it as a quote, but the way that I read it is like, to avoid a mess, take the baby outside before you shake it. But what she was saying is like, if you are feeling angry, go outside rather than shaking the baby, because that's a big issue apparently. People just go the whole fuck you thing. Like, if you've got Oh yeah, dude. Some sort of, you know, if you're going through hard times.

Tommy: Dude, I could imagine it's happening at the moment. It's a dark place. Oh, I had some OJ this morning. You're just taking a little swig?

Josh: Yeah, it's delicious. It's great. I'm an animal. I brush my teeth and then I had some.

Tommy: Oh, mate, if I've learned anything over 32 years of life, it's you don't mix toothpaste and orange juice together. It's a no-no. I'll tell you some stuff that I am sort of pumped about in my older age. Coming to 32, there's a few things that excite me that haven't in the past. Number 1, hard rubbish day.

Josh: Getting rid of stuff or collecting stuff?

Tommy: Getting rid of it.

Josh: This is a change for you. This is big because hard rubbish used to be an opportunity for your next lounge room furniture.

Tommy: Yep. To be honest, I'm all about let's get rid of it. I just want it out.

Josh: What are you getting rid of?

Tommy: We got rid of Bodhi's cot.

Josh: Is that a whole wooden wall in the hard rubbish?

Tommy: We got rid of a couch, bought a new couch. What else? Little table, heater, bunch of stuff. But it's— so you get 2 hard rubbish collections a year. And see, this is what I even get into. I'm just like, how many can we fucking do? How many do we need?

Josh: Is it an individual? Because I remember at an old office you could contact the council and they would come and do it. It wasn't like, like in the burbs, I believe it's like the same day for everyone.

Tommy: Well, in this municipality we can do 2 per household. And so the great thing is we're in this house for another 4 weeks or something? No, less. 2 weeks. And so we can do, um, we could do 2 in that time, but we're only going to do 1. And then we move to the new house, and then we can do 1 when we get there. And so then we'll have 1 left. And so that's something that excites me. Hard rubbish gets me, gets me, gets me going. Um, what else? Uh, security systems. Yeah, I'm, um, I've been going, uh searching, searching the web, trying to find the right security system to rig up in my house. Not even an alarm. I didn't care about an alarm. Cameras. I probably should, but I want cameras. I just want cameras.

Josh: No, man, I'm all for—

Tommy: back door.

Josh: I love cameras.

Tommy: You know, the funny thing is though, I've floated this with, say, my brother, my parents. Um, who else do I talk to in my life? What other friends do I have?

Josh: You.

Tommy: This is the first time I bring it to you. Um, I've mentioned the security thing and they're like, why? Like, even my, my brother, my other brother, I've got two, but one of them was like, why? What do you need that for? Really, mate? And, and that's where I'm like, yeah, I don't know. Some people, I just don't think, think about it. And I was thinking, if someone does rob your house and you don't have footage of it, you just don't know what the fuck went down.

Josh: Yeah, yeah. And so leave a shit somewhere. They could have.

Tommy: Jesus, that happened. Yeah. Anyway, so I've got, um, I'm going to be buying a security system. And then, um, I've never thought more about chickens in my life than I have in the past few weeks. But we're getting them. We're, we're currently working out the best coop to buy. Not sure, there's a few, you know, there's some pricey ones, some lower end options. The, you know, there's, there's one called the Taj Mahal. It's, um, it's ginormous. It's a— if you just want to— if even if it's not sort of in your ether to be buying chickens, just look up chicken coops. There is some real Mickey Mouse ones, like ridiculous, and they've all got funny names. Like, um, they, they're like play on words.

Josh: Who, who's selling these things?

Tommy: Mate, there's, um, what is there? There's like full website, backyardchickencoops.com.au is one, delivered to your door. Oh yeah, the Bed and Breakfast Coop and Run. Let me just find another cost.

Josh: What do they cost?

Tommy: Um, so let me just have a look. The Taj Mahal, that's it, it's trademarked, $595. Okay, what about this one? Okay, what do you think about the mansion?

Josh: Do you reckon the mansion— is the mansion bigger than the Taj Mahal?

Tommy: Well, it suits 2 to 20 hens. The Taj Mahal only does 2 to 5 hens.

Josh: Yeah, I think you're looking at 1,100 in GST.

Tommy: 1,800. 1,800. But you get walk-in access.

Josh: Oh, really? That's good.

Tommy: But there is this one, it's so cute, it's called It's called The Bed and Breakfast and it's $13.99. Legit looks like something you'd go and stay in, in Daylesford.

Josh: Oh great.

Tommy: It's like, it's the cutest little bed and breakfast. And so yeah, we're, we're, um, and we've been talking about chicken names, about what we're going to call them.

Josh: Is this going to be sort of your birthday present?

Tommy: Is this what you sort of, I feel like you're spending a lot of time and energy and Oh, my birthday present this year is a new pair of boxing gloves.

Josh: Oh, great. So, um, what sort of gloves?

Tommy: Uh, company called Sting— Sting— Sting Equipment, Sting Boxing Equipment. And so, yeah, they're just a pair of— I think they're like 8-ounce gloves. And at a new place, I'm setting up our boxing area. So, um, thinking about running, thinking about getting back into PT, to be honest.

Josh: It's just a little, little, uh, don't mind the chickens.

Tommy: Saturday morning, you know, we do boxing and then fresh chicken eggs.

Josh: Yeah, that's your protein, fresh eggs. You could be, um, what's it like, uh, boxing and eggs? You got to be yoking me personal training.

Tommy: Absolutely yoked. No, because that's the saying, yoked. You're yoked.

Josh: What else is it?

Tommy: Yoked, man. Yeah. Buff, cut, define muscles. Yoked.

Josh: Yeah, I like that.

Tommy: Get yoked. Saturday yoked. Would you join in? I think— yeah, um, would you join in a Saturday morning, uh, boxing session and tie flipping?

Josh: Yeah, I mean, I, yeah, I've definitely come around to the exercise thing. Bree and I were watching a, um, a YouTube video of the— it's like, you know, the PT to the Stars. Oh yeah, it goes through all of these. It's like an American dude in Los Angeles, and, um, you see it and you're like, fuck, look how, how good the results are. And it's not that crazy, like you're only talking maybe like, you know, 2 hour and a half sessions a day. It's only 3 hours a day.

Tommy: Yeah, if it's your full-time job If you're an actor and you have to train to get ripped, it— yeah, like, yeah, I mean, that's the— I'd love that. But I thought you were going to say 2 45-minute sessions, which—

Josh: no, well, maybe I think that some of them are, if you— yeah, but it was, um, but the, the one thing that was, um, they were talking about, you should get a sled. Yeah, a problem with it, pretty pricey. You can have to have a flat surface.

Tommy: Yeah, no, Not— I don't have flat enough surface. This is why I want to get the tyre, because I've got a big backyard, 17 metres by 13 meters, and it's, um—

Josh: who's measuring?

Tommy: I don't know. I saw a guy stepping it out. Just— oh mate, that's one thing I'm doing. So we used to laugh our heads off at my dad, who— and I sometimes still do— I'm like, Dad, how long— how, how wide do you reckon that is? And he's like, no worries. Walks over the wall, bum up against it, then steps it out. 1, 2, 3. It's a Jacket trait. And now I'm doing it. I'm stepping out everything. Love it. Love stepping out, get the dimensions. Also, um, love it in the Jacket family, uh, the boys, we all say, oh, big block, big block, big block. That's a big block.

Josh: So 13 metres by What was the—

Tommy: 17 meters.

Josh: 17 meters. That is sort of big, isn't it?

Tommy: It's freaking ginormous. It's huge, dude. The Taj Mahal will fit perfectly, or the bed and breakfast chicken coop. Anyway, we're, um, just a couple of things that are going on in my old age.

Josh: 13 minutes. Is it like a— is it a quarter acre or no?

Tommy: I don't know. I don't know that. It's, um, it's just a big block. The whole house was on a big block.

Josh: I don't know if that was just because we sort of moved into an estate or whatever, but it was a— I remember being a kid and we were on like a half an acre or whatever, or maybe a quarter acre, I don't know. But it was a big— like, there was a lot of status in, oh wow, they've got an acre, they've got a whole— oh yeah, a whole acre. Yeah, they need a fucking ride-on lawnmower.

Tommy: Dude, an acre is 4,046 square meters.

Josh: You don't know what that means.

Tommy: It's a lot of meters. 17 times by 13. So what's the actual, um, I've got 221 square meters.

Josh: Okay.

Tommy: And so that's it there. That's, uh, I don't have it. You have close to it.

Josh: One point.

Tommy: We should work it out.

Josh: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Acre. I want to hear your acreage. 0.1 of an acre. That's okay.

Tommy: 18, I don't know.

Josh: I mean, no one's talking, unless you're living like really far out or you're in like a terracotta mansion, you're not talking acreage.

Tommy: Well, Whitey, who's in the comments, just said he signed a contract yesterday on an 1,150 square metre block.

Josh: Oh, what's that?

Tommy: He's doing well.

Josh: So, that's half an acre.

Tommy: It's a quarter of an acre. Well, one—

Josh: So, yours is zero— So, Whitey in the comments has just told us your property is— Well, no, but this is the thing. This is— We should be including the whole block, or are you?

Tommy: No, that's just the backyard.

Josh: There would be another—

Tommy: There'd be another area that's exactly the same.

Josh: 0.055 acres.

Tommy: Oh, mate, I'm sitting on 0.055 acres.

Josh: 0.05 bloody acreage. It's nice, isn't it, mate?

Tommy: There's nothing like a bit of 0.05, 5 acreage.

Josh: No, I think that's great. And, um, you're gonna have, uh, have you got plans for Bodhi's next birthday? He's turning 4 next, is he?

Tommy: Yeah, he's 4 in Feb.

Josh: And so there was a jumping castle which was not really suited for the size of your current place.

Tommy: No, we got the smallest jumping castle that fit on a little piece of decking.

Josh: Yeah. If you fell, if you went outside, it's, you like fell into the, to the jumping castle. It's like someone who's got like a king-size bed in like an apartment, in a, you know, city apartment. You just fall onto it.

Tommy: Mate, I'm looking forward to slip and slides. We could even get like a, just a full theme park. Like an inflatable theme park out the back. It's big. It's big.

Josh: That's great. I'm excited to cheque it out. And so, do you actually know when you can, like, is it all just up in the air until the government says what the deal is?

Tommy: In terms of moving in?

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: No, we've signed a date that we can do it. Oh, great. And that's just after lockdown, which was meant to be, supposedly they're announcing on this Sunday in Melbourne. What the deal is moving forward, the way out. And so, whatever that looks like, but—

Josh: Talking about those, I don't know what the term was, but just like shutting down suburbs.

Tommy: Yeah. Is that what they're going to do?

Josh: Well, that's what they were talking about on, I just saw it on the news. It was a proposed sort of solution. I mean, I don't think that they're going to as an epidemiologist, think of it. Yeah, I don't know, a very different world. Nation reveals— is it anymore? Like, we keep hearing this, the world's changed forever, it's a different world, the new normal. Ah, fuck it, I'm done. I don't know what that means. I'm done. Just stop telling me it's new.

Tommy: Just to finish off, a few, uh, big announcements in the podcasting space. Too Much Telly, another episode has dropped today.

Josh: Great. Tuesday, Father's Day special.

Tommy: Yeah, Father's Day special.

Josh: Oh great.

Tommy: Uh, something probably not as big, but you know, worth a mention. Joe Rogan's podcast has moved to Spotify as of today. The first episode will be released on Spotify that he's recorded. No, he's not, he's not.

Josh: Was there any others? Because I have another announcement that I just thought of.

Tommy: I always bring it up so you can throw a few in.

Josh: Well, it's YouTube though. Can I give it a YouTube announcement? Sure.

Tommy: Guess what it is? We were on podcasting.

Josh: Can you guess what it is? No, it will actually really fire you up. I think it's going to really turn around your birthday.

Tommy: That we've hit 12,000 subscribers on our YouTube channel?

Josh: Is that it? No, no, no.

Tommy: What is it?

Josh: 11 PM tonight, David Blaine and his balloons. By the way, did you— what, I was watching the news. Did you see that kite festival where the little kid fucking held on to the kite and went up in the air?

Tommy: Oh no, he died.

Josh: It was fucking horrendous.

Tommy: Well, didn't you see David Blaine's son?

Josh: Yeah, well, that's what I was like, oh fuck, the little girl's David Blaine'd it. He must be pissed off. She was up like in the sky holding on to a kite. But so yeah, David Blaine is, um, uh, he's got a bunch of balloons and he's gonna hold on to them and he's gonna let it take him up into the sky. And then are you gonna watch it? Definitely, yeah. So it's gonna be a late one. Do you want to watch it? Maybe we could have a watch party.

Tommy: It's— how do we watch it? I— because YouTube, is it free? Is it free?

Josh: It's free, yeah.

Tommy: Yeah, jeez.

Josh: All right, sounds good.

Tommy: Um, he's pretty late. It's pretty late. I am old as fuck now, so yeah.

Josh: Well, we need to have a nap in in between, I think.

Tommy: Yeah, no, but I wouldn't mind to, like, imagine if it goes wrong.

Josh: Yeah, I mean, that's what, like, the fucked up bit is, that's like, that's part of the thrill, isn't it?

Tommy: I know, that's the—

Josh: yeah, that's like the car, like, you want to watch it.

Tommy: Yeah, you can't, can't look away, can't not watch. All right, guys, hey, thank you for all the birthday love that you're sending through.

Josh: Uh, did you see the email we got from Chloe, by the way? We can talk about that tomorrow. That's crazy. Yeah, but I think we should, we should plan some form of merch day where we all wear the Daily Talk Show, like it's a bit of coming out of ISO celebration, and when you go out you wear the Daily Talk Show merch.

Tommy: Yeah, well, let's, um, should we wait till October to launch it? Maybe there's like a day in October, 1st of October. Yeah, because it's like the new, new month outside of—

Josh: When does spring start? September 1st, dude.

Tommy: It's today. Spring has sprung.

Josh: Yeah, that's great. So, um, I don't feel any different.

Tommy: You don't? No.

Josh: Isn't it so weird? Seasons, don't you think? It is bizarre. How do they know it's spring, mate?

Tommy: There's some big questions that I haven't been able to answer in my 32 years, so no one would.

Josh: Alrighty, um, enjoy the rest of your day. Happy birthday, Tommy Jacket. Thanks, mate.

Tommy: And thanks for the present.

Josh: We'll see you tomorrow.

Tommy: Bodhi's here, he's looking for his present.

Josh: All right, all right, catch you guys.

Tommy: Bye.
