At a glance

From this episode’s transcript.

  • –The team discusses how people unconsciously mirror each other's speech patterns, texting style (exclamation marks, emojis) and body language.
  • –Punctuation choices in emails (exclamation marks, full stops, use of someone's name) can unintentionally change the perceived tone from warm to stern.
  • –The team reflects on a mishap from the previous day's Screenplay Sunday episode with Hamish Blake, where GM Jess Lucas felt "triggered" after being called out for mixing up characters.
  • –Repeated romantic advice theme: doing thoughtful gestures (flowers, chores, surprise dinners) without being asked or announced is seen as more genuinely romantic than doing them after a partner requests it.
  • –Plans are shared to watch Christopher Nolan's Tenet projected on 70mm film at an IMAX cinema once COVID lockdown restrictions ease.

Questions this episode answers

How many exclamation marks should you use in a professional email?

George Martin suggests starting with an exclamation mark on the first sentence, following with a full stop on the next, then bringing back an exclamation mark a few sentences later — using one on every sentence looks odd, according to the discussion in episode 872.

Is it better to start an email with 'hi' or 'hey'?

Tommy Jackett and George Martin say they both prefer 'hey' as a greeting, noting that the founder of Basecamp started all his emails with 'hey' and later created the email service Hey.com because of it.

What are some simple ways to be more romantic in a relationship?

Suggestions raised include buying flowers without being asked, quietly doing chores like the dishwasher without mentioning it, making surprise montage videos of past trips, ordering a partner's favourite food and setting up a candlelit dinner, and letting the partner pick the movie.

Josh: It's The Daily Talk Show, episode 872.

0:08

Tommy: Happy weekend banter. Georgie boy, Mr. 97, clap yourselves in.

0:13

George: Welcome back to me.

0:15

Tommy: Glad you could be here, mate. Glad you could be here.

0:19

Josh: I mean, GB, this reminds me of when, uh, you're just saying welcome back. It's like when I remember it was my birthday, my dad said happy birthday in the morning. I said, uh, happy birthday to you too. Why did you say that? It just happens.

0:34

Tommy: You guys bought them the same day?

0:35

Josh: No, no, it's just like this. It's the same as when you're in the taxi.

0:40

Mason: Hi, good thanks yourself.

0:41

Josh: Oh yeah, that's worse, I think. But no, you know, you're in an Uber, you're about to go on a plane, you're going somewhere exciting. The Uber driver says to you, enjoy your flight. You know, all right, mate. Yeah, you too. You're not going anywhere.

0:56

Tommy: Is it a panic though? Like, I feel it's just a— We mirror, we mirror, we mirror other people's behavior. I mean, you and I mirror our hats, um, constantly.

1:07

Josh: Yes.

1:08

Tommy: Uh, yeah, it's like if you're sitting next to somebody, you end up having similar body language whether you know it or not.

1:16

Josh: Like, what do you guys think? What do you think you're mirroring? Like, uh, GB, do you think you've become more like Mr. 97, and in what way?

1:25

Tommy: That was presupposed. There was a presupposition in that.

1:32

George: Um, I've become more like Mr. 97.

1:34

Tommy: How?

1:35

George: Oh, I don't know.

1:37

Tommy: You don't have to agree with it.

1:38

Josh: You don't have to agree. Do you think, do you think, or no?

1:41

George: Do you think you're more like JK or Mr. 97?

1:45

Mason: Um, I don't think— I'm just, I'm just trying to think of any any things that I've picked up. So, I think I've picked up from TJ, sick one.

1:55

Josh: Sick one.

1:56

Tommy: Okay.

1:57

Mason: I've got that from TJ. And then, I've got a bunch of words from you, Josh.

2:02

George: I can't—

2:03

Josh: I feel like the whole Andy Lee episode title, it's like iterating, like everything that like—

2:09

Mason: Iterating. Yeah, iterating.

2:10

Josh: I don't know if Andy said any of those words.

2:14

Mason: They did. It's— But George, yeah, I'm just trying to figure out like what have I— What I've actually—

2:21

Tommy: I think you guys, I'd like to think that it's chalk and cheese. You're very opposite, I reckon.

2:27

Mason: Yeah, do you reckon?

2:28

Tommy: Throw it out there.

2:29

George: I think we— you pick up like the way that you talk to people, like in— I reckon in text it's a lot for me, so it's like mirroring the way that they, they text and that sort of thing.

2:39

Josh: So how would you normally text, and then how are you texting when you're in the big media company iMessage? Oh, good question.

2:47

George: Um, no, actually, I reckon that's pretty much—

2:50

Josh: You think we're all mirroring you? You're setting the tone of the BMCI message.

2:56

George: For example, like, for you, Josh, like, I would do a lot more exclamation marks than I would for another friend. Like, sure, if I was to text Han, I don't think I'd— we'd never do like exclamation marks or anything like that.

3:08

Josh: Really? You know, yeah, I use exclamation marks a lot And what I found is I've had to send a few serious emails over the last few days, and I've had to like cut back on the exclamation marks. And it's just, it's very hard because I'm like, you want to be— it's like when you're having like a serious meeting or you're doing all that sort of thing, falling into the same trap that we've spoken about before. It's like, how are you? It's like I end up just saying good, thanks. Even if it's a serious, you know, we're doing business and we're sorting shit out and not happy with something, you know.

3:45

Mason: Yeah, I'm not happy at all.

3:47

Tommy: It is like the translation of tone and how you feel in an email is a tough one, right? Because you could be, you know, too many full stops, too many—

4:01

Josh: too formal.

4:02

Tommy: Yeah, is really thought out. Like, if you're getting something that looks rock solid in its, uh, you know, in its layout this person's drafted it.

4:11

George: I think, I think you want like exclamation mark first sentence and then a full stop for the next sentence and then bring it back with an exclamation mark a few sentences down. But you can't do exclamation marks every single sentence because then you look a bit weird.

4:24

Josh: I, I do. What about smiley faces?

4:28

George: Yeah, they're good. I like them. I love them.

4:30

Mason: Well, so a lot of the time they don't actually pick up in the client.

4:34

Josh: Well, it depends because as in they don't actually do an emoji, like I never actually Insert an emoji. I'll do a colon, a dash, and then a bracket.

4:48

George: Sure.

4:48

Tommy: What I found, um, what I find reads almost stern or like someone's taking it seriously, just taking something seriously. Whereas if you, you'd say something like a short, a short piece, uh, comma, Josh, full stop, It's for when you write it, that's how you're meant to sort of outline it. But when I read it back, I always feel like saying your name at the end, you wouldn't normally do that.

5:20

Josh: Saying your name at the end as in when you're signing off an email?

5:23

Tommy: No, no.

5:24

Josh: Okay, so you mean the thank you comma Tommy full stop?

5:28

Tommy: Yeah, but it has to be a bit more than the thank you.

5:31

Josh: I would like some clarity on this comma Tommy.

5:34

Tommy: Tommy, yeah, I always read the comma as this pause and it's like 'You fucked up here, Tommy.' You know, like, I feel like it brings too much. It looks fine, but just when I read that, I can't send that to people.

5:48

Josh: What if I was like, 'Oh, this video is so great,' comment, Tommy?

5:52

Tommy: No, I would lead with, 'Tommy, this video is so great.' So great, yeah. So like, and that's how I would— that's how it's said back to me when it's written like that, whereas when you write it like that This video is so great, Tommy.

6:08

Mason: I'm just like, you know, it's why I think it sounds a bit like, yeah, yeah.

6:12

Josh: Well, there's often— You do it, Josh.

6:14

Tommy: You do it when you're getting stern or getting serious, maybe.

6:18

Josh: Well, I also like the classic one is putting someone's— I've never done this, just George comma and go into it. Like, it's always, hi George, hey George. Like, I'm never going to do just a George unless— Hey.

6:31

Tommy: Yeah, I do hey. I always love a hey. And that's why they got the guy, um, from Basecamp, they created hey.com, a new mail server, a mail service. Hey, it's because he started with all his emails with hey. That is a go-to. What do you do? Hi?

6:49

George: Hey?

6:50

Tommy: George, what do you, what do you rock?

6:52

George: I'm a hey, hey, always. I don't think I've ever— like, saying hi, I feel like My mum says hi, like, that's a—

7:00

Tommy: as a parent.

7:02

Josh: Really?

7:02

George: Hi, George.

7:04

Josh: Hi, George.

7:05

Mason: I push back on the hey because I'm a hey guy as well.

7:08

Josh: You fucking send emails. When was the last time you sent an email?

7:11

George: Seriously?

7:11

Mason: Sent one yesterday.

7:12

Josh: Oh, did you?

7:13

Mason: Can you pull it up and tell us what it said?

7:15

Josh: I'm pretty sure Mason tried to send an email. It's like, I'm getting an error here. It's like the computer couldn't compute. Literally. It was like—

7:22

Mason: Literally, yeah, yeah, in my brain.

7:24

Tommy: Hang on, I'm gonna go in through our HubSpot and—

7:27

Josh: See how many emails.

7:29

Tommy: Actually, how could I do that?

7:31

Mason: Oh yeah.

7:31

Tommy: You need VoIP.

7:32

Mason: Wonder if he did say it was gonna be a chat.

7:33

George: Can you see our emails?

7:35

Tommy: Not you, George. No, just the sales team. Actually, I can see yours.

7:37

Josh: I've got just the sales team, mate, not the post-prod team. You're fine.

7:41

Mason: You're fine.

7:43

George: No, because all my emails are just from Asana anyway.

7:47

Josh: Yeah, exactly. Well, there was that, what are you thinking of Asana? So we've started using Asana, which is, Well, you should be.

7:56

Tommy: No, that was a dig at anyone who isn't. Okay.

7:59

Josh: Yes. So we're using Asana, which is like a to-do app, assigning things. Georgie boy, what do you think of Asana so far? What can we do different?

8:10

George: I think it's great. It's great. I've actually just put in all my tasks for this afternoon, what I need to do. Good one. And for a little bit on Monday. I think it's great. Yeah, I'm still getting used to like, I don't know, I'm bad at like checking stuff off. So then I go back and there's a whole like, okay, I put in all my tasks that I needed to do. Yeah, so I put in all my tasks that I needed to do, but some of them were like long-term stuff, not even long-term, like in a few weeks, like whenever I get around to it. Yeah, so the first one I keep ticking off, and then the bottom like 9 things just stay there and it's annoying as, and then I do another task.

8:48

Tommy: So I'm thinking your inbox.

8:50

Josh: You can do the sort of— we don't have to go into all this, but yeah, you should be able to, um, to hide, hide that stuff so you're only seeing the things. Yep.

9:01

Tommy: Can you put on your to-do list, edit this bit out?

9:03

Josh: It's very, very boring.

9:05

Tommy: No, definitely you won't cheque it, so you won't take it out. So leave it in, it's still in. Hey, thanks for listening.

9:10

Josh: Uh, do you know what's, uh, not boring? At today's episode of Screenplay Sunday with Hamish Blake.

9:17

Tommy: Oh, I'm waiting for the clap. Where's the clap?

9:20

Josh: Oh, there you go.

9:21

George: Yeah, I thought you were going to do a clap for sure.

9:24

Mason: Put it on the to-do list.

9:26

George: Um, I mean, it was a, it was a big, uh, task to follow from last week.

9:31

Josh: Is that the same?

9:32

George: No, no, the same. It was big to follow.

9:35

Tommy: Hard act to follow.

9:36

George: Was it big shoes to follow?

9:38

Josh: Yeah, big shoes to fill. That's sarcastic.

9:43

George: I love that.

9:44

Tommy: Um, was anyone triggered?

9:48

Josh: I don't know. And who was it? So how do you think that it all went given the circumstances of last week's ep?

9:56

Mason: Yeah, I think, I think it was, it was, it was a great ep. And I reckon, look, a few things got brought up that hadn't been brought up previously in relation to what Jess contributed to last episode.

10:13

Josh: She was slacking me about this. So she was like, oh, you didn't tell me that you were pissed off that she was fumbling the characters or whatever. I thought that was very obvious at the time.

10:23

Mason: And so this was communicated in episode 3, which you can go hear about. But I think I—

10:29

Tommy: With Haynes Blake there to experience the whole—

10:32

Josh: Yeah, yeah.

10:32

Tommy: Yeah, the whole folding of it.

10:34

Mason: Yeah.

10:35

Josh: And so we made sure that we had fun. I think we all did have fun. GB, did you have fun?

10:41

George: I think Josh asked if we were having fun, I think at least 8 times throughout the 45 minutes. So, I definitely had fun.

10:51

Josh: I think it was fun.

10:54

Tommy: So, was it fun? Can we get a—

10:55

Josh: Yeah, it was very fun. You should definitely go and and cheque it out.

11:03

Mason: It was good.

11:03

Josh: There was—

11:04

Tommy: I had spoken to Jess and she was triggered, just putting it out there.

11:07

Josh: Yeah.

11:08

Tommy: And I said, can I bring that up on this episode? And she said, if you get me kicked off the show, I won't be happy.

11:13

Josh: Well, she said, I can't believe you had an issue with me though, #triggered. She wrote this on Slack. But I think it was good. I think the thing is that like we can't be perfect all the time. And so it's okay, like it's okay to fuck up. And so she fucked up last week and she came back strong this week and it was all good. So I think it's all fine.

11:36

George: She did.

11:36

Tommy: Yeah, I think if you get an email, I mean, it's great. I just wanted to have a chat with you, Josh. Josh, Josh, you know that you're in trouble, Josh.

11:47

George: Hi, Josh.

11:49

Tommy: Hi, Josh.

11:50

Mason: Yeah, no, hey, I mean, speaking of fun, last weekend Grace and I used our clay kit.

11:58

Josh: Oh, great, we're back. We've mentioned it again. This is—

12:03

Mason: but this is great. I've actually got stuff to bring. So I wanted to— we both made plant pots, and then at the very end, Josh, because you love them so much, I made an attempt at a Dorodango. Small Dorodango.

12:25

Josh: This is good. I want to see your Dorodango.

12:28

Mason: Well, okay, well, so before I show you, there are a couple things that you need to know. Um, it's very hard to find a YouTube video, a full tutorial on how to make it.

12:40

Josh: We're using a glass— we're using some sort of, uh, cup or some sort of glass.

12:46

Mason: Well, so I scrapped the tutorial and winged it. Okay, and so what I've got here—

12:52

Josh: Oh, that actually looks quite good.

12:54

Mason: Is a clay— It's literally just a clay ball. Yeah, and it needs to be potentially, if you want the dorodango vibe, you could, um, glaze it.

13:06

Josh: Well, is that what they suggest? So dorodangos— I've got a book on dorodangos. They are known as a mud dumpling, and it's a Japanese method where They take clay and they use a bunch of like glass instruments to smooth them all out. So, you get this perfect sphere and that's what you've tried to create.

13:26

Mason: Yeah. The problem is not having the right tools for the job, but I will show you. This was—

13:34

George: Hang on.

13:34

Mason: Here we go.

13:35

George: Oh!

13:36

Josh: Oh! Oh, wow. This is the— This is the actual— So, you're holding up a pot that— Doesn't really have much depth to it, just like—

13:47

Mason: Yeah, it's not super deep. So, if like, it's not as tall as my hand. So, if you're putting like a plant in there, it's not a big plant. It's made for my devil's ivy that's in the background.

14:02

Tommy: So, the beauty about clay sculptures is that it looks like anyone can do it because the kids version and the adults version look very similar.

14:12

Josh: Yeah, well, it sort of looks plastical, doesn't it? It is. Is it dry now, Seb? That's dry.

14:19

Mason: Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's— those are fully dry now. They're not fully dry. Well, they're pretty— they feel pretty hard.

14:26

Josh: Seb is just speaking to his producer.

14:28

Mason: Yeah, Grace reckons another 2 to 3 days and they need to be put in the sun to fully dry out. But I mean, it's pretty like— you're not breaking it if you—

14:37

Josh: oh, it does sound—

14:37

Mason: you're not breaking. Wow, it sounds pretty—

14:39

Josh: but if you put— if you accidentally had Wow. So if you had water on it though, would that just go back to like—

14:47

Mason: Yeah, I reckon if you put— Yeah, yeah, I reckon.

14:50

Josh: Okay.

14:50

Tommy: But anyway, in the oven, why not?

14:53

Mason: Yeah, you could put it in the oven, but you may as well just— Oh, I've got it all over my desk now. Um, yeah, you may as well just leave it outside in the sun like today. Um, it'll dry out a little bit more. That was fun.

15:06

George: Yeah.

15:07

Josh: Um, when we had Jess on yesterday We're talking about romantic things that you can do, dates, that type of thing. And I feel like GB, you would have remembered a few months ago we were talking about romance and it got you thinking about you and whether, how romantic you are. GB, can you give us an update on what are you doing to be romantic at the moment?

15:35

Tommy: And are you out of the dark hole that it sent you into after you realised that you weren't romantic?

15:41

George: I should be doing more. I haven't done— What have I done? We go for walks.

15:48

Mason: Busy update.

15:49

George: On the weekends. We got— I bought us curry the other night. Okay. But I should be getting some fancier food, I reckon. So, no real update from me, unfortunately.

16:06

Josh: What do you think you could—

16:08

Mason: I feel like the food doesn't have to be fancy. Can you not have a date over, um, what makes it a date? So, what is lucky, you know?

16:15

Josh: So, okay, so it's taking souvlaki, for example. Yeah. How would you make that romantic?

16:24

Mason: Oh, you just put a couple of candles on the floor, put a movie on, and have your souvlaki dribble all over you.

16:33

Josh: You still butchered it.

16:35

George: Yeah, I think I'll— we'll— I'll do a date night for sure.

16:40

Josh: Okay, then could you do a bunch of Insta storeys around? Could you do it?

16:47

Tommy: You— it was Hannah's birthday and you got her a 6-course dégustation and you got it from the, the place on, in, on, um, Smith Street and it took you hours It was like a real process. You had a great time, so did Hannah, I heard.

17:04

George: Great memory.

17:05

Josh: Yeah, 'cause when was that? That was 2017.

17:09

George: That was June. I think that was—

17:14

Tommy: That was a vlog I made for our anniversary.

17:16

Josh: Was it July? I think it was this financial year. And so what could we do? Like, I think that I do like, like Bri was listening to the romance episode and shit. It's a good spark, it's a good way of resetting and thinking, what are you doing that's romantic? What can we do? And TJ, what's the last romantic thing you've done? And what's something that you could do that's romantic?

17:43

Tommy: Oh, I mean, yeah, nothing. Nothing.

17:48

Josh: Absolutely nothing.

17:51

George: I think when you send Bodhi off to the grandparents, you know, that's romantic.

17:57

Josh: Deportery. Deportery.

18:00

Tommy: No, the other night, It was last week, Amy and I had the Friday night to ourselves and we— it was not debauchery. It was, it was, um, it was salami pizza and a marinara.

18:14

Josh: Is that what you call it?

18:18

Tommy: And we were sitting around. There's just something nice about sitting around the table behind us, the little circular one. And we come sit down on the carpet. We got a nice couch, but we don't want to, you know. We don't want to shit ourselves on the couch, that would be horrible. And so we sat down and it was really nice just to do that. But I mean, that's just the little thing. If anything, the romantic thing these days is for me to take Bodhi out and maybe have some alone time.

18:43

Josh: Yeah, sure. Is there a way of positioning it so it feels more romantic? Like, I wonder if you could— if— because I think about this, right, where it's, say, if I do the dishwasher it could be considered romantic. But is it more romantic when you communicate and say, hey, I'm just going to do the dishwasher because I know you like when I do the dishwasher? That's probably really annoying, isn't it?

19:08

Mason: Every day, every time you do it.

19:09

Josh: Yes.

19:11

Tommy: Yeah.

19:12

Josh: GB, what do you think? Get old.

19:15

George: Uh, I think you just do the dishwasher and just not mention it. Clean up. And then, so what's the right—

19:23

Josh: so what's the small bit of— so what's the small bit of romance then?

19:29

George: I think not mentioning it and then organising dinner. And, uh, yeah, I think it's just doing stuff without asking, I think, is that— is what they want.

19:38

Josh: And so, but what they want— oh, fucking GB's fucking advice on women, you need a new podcast. Um, And so talking about what they want, do you think, um, is there— so for instance, some of these things that we think about doing, so for instance, the ordering food and just, and saying, you know, don't worry about type of thing, how can you communicate it so it goes from being this utility of just like, yeah, I've ordered food, to make it feel more romantic?

20:11

George: Yeah, well, that's the million-dollar question, isn't it? I don't know. I think you— how do I— order it and then set up a nice candlelit table at home and say, you can pick the movie because this is what—

20:29

Mason: not the food, just the movie.

20:31

Josh: Just the movie. Yeah, yeah, sure. Because I'm having Mexican, which is what I wanted. Yeah. Okay. No, I like that idea.

20:41

George: Um, there is a problem is like whenever we do do movie nights and stuff, I fall asleep in every— that probably the biggest issue in our relationship is the fact that I'd fall asleep in every single thing that we watch together. So we don't actually have a show, we don't have—

20:57

Josh: I'm the same way—

20:58

George: I don't have really movie nights because I'm always falling asleep.

21:00

Josh: What about like a line of code?

21:02

George: Maybe it needs to be like movie breaks.

21:03

Josh: Yeah, that's just— or some no-gos. Yeah, yeah, share a line. Is that what they call it, TJ? Sharing a line?

21:12

George: I don't know.

21:13

Josh: Okay, um, and so yeah, anything else? Is this sparking anything, TJ? Anything that you could think of? How you could be romantic, how I could be romantic, GB, Sev's like, let's get our fucking shit together.

21:25

Tommy: Yeah, I reckon, I reckon it's this little things that shift it. So I don't think we have— we're all looking to like you know, travel, the food. But no, no, I think that's it. I think it's— I think just fucking taking a bit more care of yourself. A bit of spritz on your neck, bit of cologne, light a candle, set the ambiance.

21:49

Josh: Well, '97 said to— so we had Hamish Blake on Screenplay Sunday, as we mentioned, and he was—

21:55

Tommy: Tommy Jackett there, or no?

21:56

Josh: Tommy Jackett wasn't there, but Sev's brushed his teeth specifically for that episode, which makes you think, what's your current regime when it comes to brushing your teeth?

22:10

Mason: I know, I feel like I'm pretty good with brushing my teeth. There is just like, I love my garlic, and so that does come through.

22:19

George: Love garlic. That's not a thing that everyone loves.

22:21

Tommy: So, had you brushed your teeth that morning?

22:22

Mason: I love garlic. No, that was when I brushed my teeth.

22:26

Josh: So, if you said, if you said, if you said, I brushed my teeth for Hamish. And you haven't already brushed your teeth in the morning, you're probably not brushing enough.

22:37

Mason: Nah, well, look, if I'm going out, that's usually a trigger to brush them.

22:42

Josh: But we're in iso.

22:44

Mason: Yeah, so, yeah, exactly. So, it's usually once a day at the moment.

22:50

Josh: Sure, if you go out.

22:52

Mason: No, no, no, no, I always do it at nighttime, always. But usually, like, it'll miss it in the morning unless there's a trigger for it to happen.

23:01

Tommy: Look, it's in your contract working with us that you actually need to brush your teeth in the morning.

23:05

Josh: So we're going to have to let it go, mate.

23:08

Tommy: No, Josh, what about this for you? Easy to come up with suggestions for other people, other than yourself. What about this? This is— I had a moment the other day. Bodhi was just absolutely doing my scone in. And I thought, oh, maybe I just this weekend cut together a video of just some, some of Bodhi's highlights, just him being a great dude, to prevent me from, you know, assaulting the baby. Yeah, but what about, imagine you creating a little montage with, of Breezer, quickly, just a quick, just chucking him in, fun footage to watch back together of a trip. Oh, here you go. Of a holiday, right? And that way you guys could sit on the couch, say, Bree, I've ordered us some food specific to that trip, and you don't even have to tell her. And then the food comes, it's in— it's Italian, and that's Italy, and there's shots of Italy. It's just this beautiful little montage.

24:06

Josh: I like it. I like that.

24:07

Tommy: George, you've got the— I mean, we've all got the capabilities to do this.

24:10

Josh: Well, so you could— GB, maybe edit for everyone if we all put in our requests. Style. So it's another Hump Day Replay travel edition. That can be fun.

24:24

George: Well, I mean, yeah, one of the things that I get criticised of is I, I've never made a video for Han before, and I've made them for like most of my family members for their birthdays and stuff. Um, so that's definitely on the list for me to do. Um, and the other thing is I think just buying flowers randomly. I was like, that's something that I should do. Because we go to the shops and they've always got the new flowers there on a Saturday. If we go there Saturday morning, then she's looking at the flowers and then like, she's like, why don't you ever buy me flowers? I said, well, I can't do it now because now it looks like I've, you know, just doing it because you said that.

25:03

Josh: Yeah. Which is, could that not be a romantic thing to do or no?

25:07

George: I mean, maybe, maybe.

25:09

Mason: Where does it go after that?

25:12

Josh: What, so, Mason, you're worried that it starts with that and then before you know it, you're having to buy flowers all the time? Is that what you're worried about?

25:19

Mason: No, no, no, no. I was just curious about the scenario of being next to the flower shop, looking at the flowers. You never buy me flowers. And so, you say, why don't you buy me flowers? And George will be like, well, I can't do it now. And George will be like, well, I can't do it now. Is it just like, okay.

25:35

Tommy: Yeah.

25:36

Josh: So, you're being triggered, GP. You're being triggered because she's asking. Whereas if you could just, if we all could just remove our egos.

25:46

George: It's just about doing it.

25:46

Josh: Yeah.

25:47

George: It's just about doing it without having to ask.

25:50

Josh: And so, what's the—

25:51

George: And then if you do it after they ask, then it's not a great look.

25:53

Josh: And so, what could you do? Like, what's the, how do you, 'cause the problem is—

25:57

George: Just gonna get some.

25:59

Josh: But you need to do it beforehand, mentions it before she says, yeah, beautiful flowers.

26:03

George: If I do it now.

26:04

Tommy: Go pick them, go walk around the suburb.

26:07

George: She'll come home from work and there'll be flowers here.

26:09

Josh: Oh, that'd be good.

26:10

Mason: That'll be lovely.

26:11

Josh: Are you going to do that today?

26:13

George: Yeah, I'll do that. I'll do that today. Although again, then I'm like, well, the new flowers are coming in tomorrow morning, so I'm getting the shit bunch.

26:19

Josh: No, no, I think the shit bunch is fine. I think like it is not about the quality of the flower. It's about actually doing it. Ship early, ship often.

26:31

George: And you know what the other criticism could be now?

26:32

Mason: Is it the same thing if—

26:34

George: I'm only doing this for content, but I'm not.

26:37

Tommy: It's in your asana list, checklist. Yeah, anyway, it's, uh, yeah, time to get romantic, boys.

26:45

Josh: Yeah. And so, Sebbs, have you had any reflection from yesterday's episode on what you could be doing? I don't know, isn't it?

26:54

Tommy: That's—

26:54

Mason: I don't know. Um, no, actually, so we, we have actually talked about some things that we can do after lockdown, and so one of them is going to the IMAX theatre in the city and watching, uh, Tenet, um, by Christopher Nolan in the film projector.

27:20

Josh: What does that mean?

27:20

George: What does that mean?

27:23

Mason: No, well, you know, you know, old, you know, old film where they run it through.

27:27

Josh: So just at the IMAX? 35mm? Yeah, no, well, the—

27:32

Mason: it's 70mm film that they run through. And it's crazy, it's like 100-something kg for the whatever, but it's sick. But so they're running, they're gonna play Tenet on that 70mm film. So we're gonna go see that.

27:44

Josh: Okay, it's weird how you said it, but you wouldn't— it's sort of like, look, we're thinking about driving and like, you know, driving a car with like wheels.

27:53

Mason: What do you call it on film? Like, what do you film?

27:57

Josh: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you just say like it's on a millimeter.

28:00

Mason: Yeah, you have to say the millimetre film.

28:02

Tommy: Okay.

28:03

Mason: I'm actually—

28:03

Josh: Do you think that— so Grace said that she's excited.

28:07

Mason: She loves Christopher Nolan movies.

28:08

Josh: Yeah, she loves film over digital.

28:12

Mason: No, I push for that.

28:14

Josh: Okay, so that probably doesn't—

28:16

Mason: yeah, no, but it's a— but it's a great experience because it's like, you know, it's coming out at like 17K and they've got like a 28-speaker set. Like, it's going to be great.

28:26

Josh: Yeah, that would be good.

28:27

Tommy: I'm, I'm I'm, uh, pumped for that movie. A secret agent embarks on a dangerous time-bending mission to prevent the start of World War III.

28:36

Josh: God, too late.

28:38

Tommy: Sounds great.

28:39

Josh: Um, okay, okay, uh, that, that does sound good. All right, any other updates? Anything else? Anything else going on, TJ?

28:48

Tommy: Uh, nah, that's about it, mate.

28:51

Josh: How about you?

28:53

Tommy: I cheque my sauna. See what's happening.

28:54

Josh: I'm gonna go cheque out the ushies for, um, uh, uh, Yas. She's, uh, doing us a bunch.

29:02

Tommy: Yeah, we've, uh, Yas or Yaz, right?

29:05

Josh: Oh my God, I was saying yes, but she was—

29:09

Tommy: look at you, the mirroring of— yes, mirroring of Josh Janson is anyone around him will start pulling him apart. Yes, everything.

29:16

Josh: I think it's Yas.

29:17

Mason: Yes. Yes.

29:21

Josh: Anyway, okay, uh, go listen to Screenplay Sunday. Also, Hump Day Replay was great, uh, with, uh, Ryan Shelton. You've got Radio Mike on, on, uh, uh, the next episode, which is great.

29:34

George: Next week.

29:35

Josh: Yeah, perfect. All right, well, uh, enjoy your Sunday, guys, and, uh, we'll see you tomorrow. Have a good one.

29:40

Tommy: Love you.
