Questions this episode answers
What does "Nup to the Cup" mean?
It's a slogan used by people who boycott the Melbourne Cup, generally in opposition to horse racing, as explained by Grace Peris in the episode.
Why is Tommy Jackett such a big UFC fan?
Tommy explains he did martial arts (kickboxing and Muay Thai) when he was younger, which gave him a lasting connection to the sport, similar to someone who played club football growing up.
What happened with Jess Lucas's wedding expo email mistake?
While working events for a hotel chain, Jess accidentally forwarded a 'congratulations, you've won a 2-night stay' email meant for one winner to around a dozen other wedding expo entrants, then had to send a correction.
Episode TranscriptShow
Tommy: It's The Daily Talk Show, episode 893. It's weekend banter. What's happening, guys? What's going on? Yes, Lucas, i.e. Whip, and Grace are in the building.
Josh: G'day, guys.
Grace: What's my i.e.?
Josh: Uh, you can be— what do you want to be? What's your nickname? Yeah, what could your nickname be? AKA—
Jess: I like GP.
Josh: GP. Too close to GB.
Tommy: Yeah, true, very true.
Jess: What's your middle name, Grace?
Grace: Marguerite.
Josh: Marguerite.
Jess: Say again? Margarita.
Tommy: Marguerite. Marguerite.
Grace: Marguerite, mum's name.
Josh: Yeah, I like it.
Grace: Oh yeah, and so we're, um, it's French for Margaret.
Tommy: Yeah, French for Margaret.
Josh: Well, Marguerite, as it's spelled, is a bit of French. It's a bit fucking exotic.
Tommy: It's a bit I've had French, I've had French patisserie today and I'm feeling real French right now.
Grace: Paris.
Tommy: I feel, I feel like I'm in Paris. Um, what does IE mean, by the way? I don't know what the actual—
Grace: is it Latin?
Jess: Do you know what the difference between IE and EG is?
Josh: Uh, EG I assumed is example, sample, and, uh, spelled with E-G.
Tommy: Example, example.
Josh: I mean, and then there's etcetera as well. But, um, everyone's on edge because we nearly had a blow-up. There are a lot of technical issues today. Uh, GB had some issues with his microphone. Uh, Jess accidentally jumped in halfway through a show that we were doing. And so, but we're all good now. But Jess, have you ever had any blow-ups at work? Have you ever absolutely cracked it at someone?
Jess: Um, no, because I would never yell at someone, but I've definitely cracked it at someone.
Josh: I didn't yell. I definitely didn't yell.
Tommy: No, you didn't.
Josh: I can't. She didn't say— that's right. And so, yeah, what, what did you— what was—
Jess: I was on edge, I'm not gonna lie.
Josh: Just then?
Jess: What?
Josh: Just then you were just on edge? Oh, this is— this communication is— this is fucking hard. This is hard work. This is— if anything, whatever the opposite of banter is, is what this is. Like, um, There is a—
Tommy: there, yeah, there is.
Josh: I knew Grace's mum's name's Marguerite, and so soon I'm like, what the fuck? It's like, oh, it's French. Oh, okay, what smartass comments are we going to get from Grace's mum? This is a great way of building rapport. So we're, we're all good.
Tommy: Well, um, to be honest, I'm fine, guys. I have no idea about really what's going on. There is a sensitivity though, JJ, around tech issues. And you. And so if there's ever a blow-up, you can sniff out a tech issue within the first, you know, you can smell the soldering iron burning.
Josh: Yeah, I just feel hot. And so Jess, was there a specific moment? Was it like, can you describe when you've gotten close to a blow-up?
Jess: I can't even remember what she did. She was just painful sometimes, I think. No, I don't think it was. Probably just like a combination of multiple things. I can tell you a time that I got yelled at.
Josh: Oh yeah, that'd be great.
Jess: When I was in events, I was doing events for a hotel chain and we went to a wedding expo and there was a bowl and everyone could kind of just drop their business cards in and whatever it was, like a note that had their name, number, that kind of thing. So couples obviously planning their wedding.
Tommy: Please, if you're feeling that way inclined.
Jess: Exactly. We'll take that offline. Yeah. But I had this Excel spreadsheet of all these people that were hopefully going to win a 2-night stay at our hotel for their wedding, whether it was their honeymoon or whatever. And I just started like forwarding emails saying, thanks for coming. Thanks for dropping your name in. You haven't won. And then I got to the person that had been selected as the winner who was about halfway through. Said, oh, congratulations, you've won a 2-night stay. This is, um, super exciting. Let us know what dates you want to book in. Um, but then I kept forwarding that email to the rest of the people on the Excel spreadsheet.
Josh: Oh no, this is, uh, worse for hospitality than COVID. How many, how many, uh, free nights did you give out?
Jess: I think in the end it was like 12. But the thing is, I've noticed halfway through I know. And I had to email all of them back and say, yeah, sorry, that was a mistake. I accidentally sent you the wrong email.
Tommy: That was Matt Tilley. He got my bloody email. He got ya.
Jess: That's it.
Tommy: So, and that's so funny.
Josh: He had a prank call that called—
Tommy: That doesn't need explaining, really. It can go over people's heads. But Jess, do you actually have to give out Like a lot of businesses end up actually valuing or what, uh, giving out the whatever they've fucked up, honoring.
Jess: Well, no, because we were on the other side. It was the one I was telling you about, JJ, the other day, uh, around the corner. I had PTSD walking past it. Oh my gosh.
Josh: What about you, uh, Grace? Have you ever, um, either yelled at someone or been yelled at, uh, whilst working?
Grace: No, I've never been yelled at someone. And I've never yelled at anyone. If I've had to ever talk to someone, it's always been quite nice, like, oh, so, you know, just maybe do this a bit differently.
Josh: Any disasters, anything like that? So you worked at a gym. What sort of the— any nightmares?
Grace: If people got charged twice sometimes, that would be an issue. I've been yelled at by like customers, not by a boss. Mm-hmm. The fit— one of the first times I was working, I didn't really know the backstory, but someone called up and I just so happened to pick up the phone. And obviously they'd been having a hard time with something and they just started yelling at me. And then I was just crying at the front desk, just like, I'm so sorry. Then I got off the phone and I was just bawling my eyes out.
Josh: So what did they think?
Grace: Like, if you hear someone cry on the other end of the phone, I was, I was trying to keep, you know, keep it in and just had like tears coming down my face. And my boss was like looking at me quite like, what's going on? Like, has someone died? Or like, you know, and then I got off the phone, I was like, someone yelled at me. And then you just get used to it. People yelling at you weekly and it was just a part of the job.
Josh: That's the game.
Grace: It's quite stressful, but it is.
Tommy: I once saw a, the guy who was in, in in charge of the personal trainers kick a guy up the ass as he walked out the gym.
Josh: It's not ideal.
Tommy: It was a bodybuilding gym, a lot of testosterone, a lot of, you know, injectable testosterone that probably got us to that point. But roid rage, a bit of roid rage. But it was interesting. I mean, it takes a certain type to yell at someone else in a staff setting. It's probably less— happens less these days. Like people are on edge.
Jess: Yeah, true.
Grace: My boss has kicked people out of the gym and it's been quite like a yelling match in the front foyer. And that was quite stressful as well, 'cause you kind of just have to pretend that it's not happening while they're kind of yelling at each other. And yeah, it's who's got more testosterone. Oh no. Really?
Tommy: Definitely.
Josh: So Melbourne Cup weekend is coming up pretty soon. We get the Tuesday off. Does Perth have, like, is for one Melbourne Cup on the radar for Perth? And if not, what is the perfect—
Tommy: Perth?
Josh: The Perth equivalent? The Perth equivalent of Melbourne Cup?
Grace: Yeah, it's usually on the radar, but I feel like recently with the kind of saying "Nup to the Cup" has—
Tommy: Hang on, is that a slogan? Saying "Nup to the Cup"?
Grace: Yeah, people who like boycott the Melbourne Cup say "Nup to the Cup." So, a lot of—
Josh: Like, no, not signing up. It's a bit silly.
Tommy: No, I know, say nah.
Grace: Say nah.
Josh: Nah. Like, don't give it.
Tommy: I get the reference.
Josh: Because of the horses, yeah?
Jess: Yeah.
Tommy: Say nothing.
Jess: Yeah, because of the—
Tommy: Absolutely. Shut up. I want nothing to do with it.
Grace: The seagull's back, guys. So yeah, it's on people's radars. Like, I feel like if, like, I mean, because it's just everywhere, like all over the news and stuff. Um, and so usually at like Ascot, which is like our racecourse, they have races. Then else they air the Melbourne Cup there. Um, but we don't have like a public holiday or anything for it. Um, but yeah, it's not really a big thing. Like, I remember when I was little, um, like that was the one day that mum would be like, oh, so like we'll put, putting like $2 on horse number 3, which was like obviously because I was born on the 3rd. Um, yeah, like lucky numbers kind of thing. But that was it, it wasn't really like a big deal. And so, I've never really been that into it. Never gone to the races.
Josh: It was a big thing, like, I feel as a growing up. Yeah, you'd get all, like everyone would put a couple of bucks on or you have, what is it? The sweepstakes?
Tommy: I feel like, oh yes.
Josh: Like I could imagine, Jess, your family getting into it in a big way.
Jess: Really?
Josh: Is that? Yeah. I just imagine like the, you know, a summer, was it summer in November? Summer's day, like a hot day in Bendigo with sort of, you know, music going and the eskie out and a whiteboard and people getting pissed off about what horse they got. Is that a fair assumption?
Jess: It's not the case. No, unfortunately. Because Bendigo has its own cup, so they don't recognise Melbourne Cup. They recognise Bendigo Cup.
Grace: Oh, snobs. Wasn't that the cup before the Melbourne Cup?
Josh: That was actually older.
Jess: There's multiple, like there's Ballarat and then everyone has their own cups. Horse racing events, I suppose. But no, I mean, Dad's work always does a sweep and I always, I still get one every year. They'll just pull it out of a hat and assign it to me. Haven't won. Haven't, hasn't come through, you know.
Josh: I mean, footy tipping, big media company, maybe we need to do footy tipping in 2021. I've never actually Tipped him up like I've never done. Have you ever watched a game?
Tommy: Yes. Yeah, yeah, Richmond. We went and watched one.
Josh: Yeah, I know lots kicking in Danger.
Grace: I also made Josh watch a game.
Josh: Yeah, yeah, yeah. When Grace first moved to Melbourne before lockdowns, that's crazy to think that that was the case. But yeah, we, Sevs and Grace came over and we ended up, we actually got KO just so we could watch the game. It was good. I enjoyed it.
Tommy: Well, hopefully next year it'll be a bit more normal. Like it's not gonna just stop, you know, 4 games in and then, but there's always the person that doesn't watch footy that ends up sort of getting pretty far down the line. Amy's that person at her work. She's coming like 3rd in footy tipping.
Grace: Oh wow.
Tommy: She doesn't give a shit about, she grew up with rugby. You know, up in Sydney.
Josh: So Jess, what do you think? Do you think we should get involved with some sort of footy tipping in the team?
Jess: I think it'd be fun. A bit of colleague rivalry would be fun, I think, maybe.
Grace: Yeah, yeah.
Jess: I mean, we should be strategic about it though. I could imagine you would be that person that Tommy should mention. You're like, Fremantle, Geelong, kind of thing.
Josh: No, no, I think I would probably No, I would definitely look into it a little bit. The, what's the deal with fantasy?
Jess: You've got these odds.
Josh: Yeah, definitely. But fantasy football, what's the deal? I could actually imagine you, Grace, getting into fantasy football.
Grace: No, I am, my ex-boyfriend was quite into fantasy football.
Josh: Like a professional?
Grace: They just like sit around talking about it all weekend.
Josh: Oh, really?
Grace: That's all I ever heard of sometimes.
Josh: Just fantasy football.
Grace: I was like, oh, really? Yeah, it's just, there's just a lot involved and it's always like, oh, who got the most points and I've got to trade this person and I don't know if you have the time for that. It seems like a lot's involved in actually having a good team and doing well. I mean, if you're just doing it for a bit of fun and haha, whatever.
Josh: And so, the idea is that you get all different players from different teams?
Grace: Yeah, and then you create your own team and Every week when there's the games on, you'll see in the stats is like, um, I think it's ADF AFL Dream Team or something like that at the end. And they're all the points, and then you get the points if— how many— so if your player gets 100 points, that goes to your total score. So it's whoever gets like the top score, things like that. And then you can do like— yeah, so like Tommy's team could play your team and then things like that.
Tommy: And it's actually taking data from the real people that are playing over the weekend. So it is cool. It is the link through to the real— so if you're watching the game but you're also running this dream team on the side, it makes sense. I've got no interest in doing it personally, but I see how, you know, you can get really involved in it.
Grace: Yeah. And then there's all like the dream team draught and things like that. And it's— yeah, it's just a whole lot.
Josh: So maybe we can get into it from a baseball perspective. That could be a way of us learning about it. But what's stopping you from just picking the Michael Jordan equivalent of every, like, just having a dream team, or is that the point?
Grace: I think there's the draft. So the draught is like, obviously, like the normal draught in the real world. You get like teams pick players or, um, uh, whatever, what do they call them, like the guys coming out from the state leagues or the girls coming out from the state leagues. Um, and so yeah, you can only have certain players or something like that. Like, there's not like 4 Lachie Neale's or whatever, or for Nat Fyfe's or whatever.
Jess: I'm pretty sure.
Tommy: Couple of Western Australian footy player, you know, references there, mate.
Grace: Well, Lachie Neale just won the Brownlow, so that's why I kind of brought him up.
Josh: Well, they've had the Brownlow. I don't even—
Grace: Yeah, they had it on Sunday night. Sunday night?
Tommy: And I, Josh, don't worry, I hadn't even heard of Lachie Neale. But he won the Brownlow. And he won the— he's the best player.
Grace: He's with Brisbane now, but he used to play for the Dockers. Yeah.
Tommy: And so, I mean, this is where you, you miss, you miss it for a year and you're completely out of the loop. If you, if you've stopped following a team for a couple of years, the whole team's different to when you used to, when you used to watch it.
Josh: Which is, I think, is exciting. I mean, I could get into it now and potentially get to quite a good level quickly.
Tommy: I mean, you've got to be into it though. How do you, how do you actually get into something.
Josh: Well, yeah, this is the problem, like with the baseball stuff. I feel like Grace, you're a lot better at like knowing the players and you'll be like, oh, did you see Tucker? Like what Tucker, like Tucker's throw or whatever. I was like, to be honest, no.
Grace: I don't know their names.
Josh: No, but yeah, yeah. So, you're very good.
Grace: I mean, at the moment I'm not really doing anything with my life, so I'm just watching baseball and knowing their names.
Josh: But I think that's good. Like even me spending time on the weekend like trying to, I don't take it in as well. Like I, there's even points where I'm embarrassed because I get excited about a play and then I realise that it's not the Astros, it's not the team I'm going for because they fucking, they're always changing. Yeah. And it's just very easy. And also they've got their away and home colours.
Jess: Kits.
Josh: Kits. And so, you get a bit confused because sometimes Astros will wear like a bright sort of orange, like a deep orange. And then other times they wear grey, and then other times the other team's wearing the colour. It's a lot to take on.
Grace: It is a lot.
Tommy: Jess, what are you into? Anything like that? Like, I reckon I'm quite into UFC. I have a pretty broad knowledge of UFC.
Josh: What's your favourite 6 UFC fighters?
Tommy: Jon Jones, number 1. Conor McGregor, of course. I like Nate Diaz. He's a real brawler. Um, who else we got? Um, I mean, they're probably top 3. Do you just want me to name off?
Josh: I just wanted to just know that you're like—
Tommy: I know Jose Aldo, he's not my favorite, but if you just— uh, Nate Diaz as well as Nick Diaz. Um, and then one more if you just want one more. Yeah, yeah, Francis Ngannou.
Josh: Okay, if you're just trying to see if I know 6 people. Yes. Yeah, I am, but like, because I don't know if you care that much even.
Tommy: No, but I do. I reckon I care more about UFC than you do about baseball, but that doesn't say much. Yeah, but I reckon I'm well ahead. Like, I'm always surprised when I'm talk— when I actually watch this stuff, I'm like, fuck, I spend hours watching like UFC highlight videos, stories. They make amazing vlogs.
Josh: Like, your hobby, your passion?
Tommy: No, it's because I did martial arts when I was younger. I spent quite a bit of time doing kickboxing, Muay Thai. And so when you're seeing— and yeah, it's definitely like I've just got this sort of like thing that I'm— it's like if you played footy when you're younger, maybe like club footy, pretty hard, you just always got the connection to the sport. And so martial arts is like, yeah, I'm always watching it, I'm always pumped to, you know, see it when it's on. The only thing where I fall flat is I don't pay for it. And so I would go to a pub, which I haven't— like, the last fight I went to, um, was at the local pub, and they've been closed ever since. It was like the—
Josh: you have any— I haven't seen you in a UFC t-shirt. Would you wear it?
Tommy: No, I don't think so. No. Why not? I would wear the Reebok— is, is quite synonymous with UFC. They're one of the main sponsors. I'd wear something of Reebok, the shorts. So, you know, if you're looking at a pair of UFC Or if you're looking at some Reebok shorts, it reminds me of the UFC. I don't know, it's like the, remember, it's like Tapout, that gear, there's like fighting gear, like Everlight, there's a bunch of brands that connect closely to martial arts. It's really bogan though to be rocking Muay Thai shorts that you got from Thailand just to signal that you could do a roundhouse kick to the head. You know, that's what I feel like.
Jess: I feel like you're welcoming that as well.
Josh: Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I think so. Putting, wearing a, It does feel like sort of a slight flex. I don't know if baseball has the same sort of filter, like you don't have to worry as much. Would that be fair? Would you—
Jess: Yeah, maybe not in Australia.
Josh: What do you think about the idea of us all having like our own baseball team and just having once a week women's deals?
Tommy: I reckon it's as much as me saying, do you want to be into UFC? Like, you should start watching a UFC fight.
Josh: No, if you said, if you said, can you wear a— you— how about, uh, once a week we all, um, wear a UFC t-shirt or whatever? My point is that I think there could be something fun. Once a week we all wear baseball jerseys.
Tommy: Well, I will play something. I will play baseball, but you've got no interest in uniform. That's why you're like a tryhard national athlete looking like a tryhard emo by Guernsey that I don't even care for. That's the epitome of a tryhard.
Josh: Well, there's nothing wrong with trying hard in life.
Jess: Did it just mean what we could do is maybe do Monday morning whips over a game of baseball in the park and just give the ball at each other? And is that enough for you?
Josh: Yeah, that's good. I'll wear the full— the full kit. The full kit.
Jess: Yeah, I like that.
Tommy: So good. Wear the mask of the—
Grace: Yeah.
Tommy: What do you call it? The catcher? Just behind.
Grace: Padded gear as well.
Jess: Yeah.
Josh: Yeah, I could definitely. That's why I could get into hockey or whatever. I think there is something fun in the clothing. But I understand that. Is there any, like Grace, do you have any, are there any subcultures or things in life where you would be tempted to join in on that subculture just for their fashion?
Grace: Uh, I don't know, probably not. I don't even— I've never thought of this. Sorry, not good conversation.
Josh: So for me, potentially I would get into, um, uh, yachting so that I can wear a crisp white polo and some boat shoes. Little gartered blue shorts and some navy shorts.
Tommy: Tommy Hilfiger.
Grace: I'm still living on the Amalfi Coast so I can wear bikinis all the time and linen shirts.
Tommy: Look, in the summer I'm in Porci and in the winter I fly over to the Amalfi.
Josh: Do you think?
Grace: Yeah, I'd get into that cool culture.
Josh: Yeah, I mean, TJ, what's your, um, if you were to reinvent yourself from a style perspective, because you don't really No, I was going to say you don't have style. That's not the right word. You just, you don't have a style. You don't have like—
Tommy: I never sort of like went like, I don't dress like a skater. I don't dress like— I don't dress a punk stereotypical. I just, if anything, I do based on just like what's trending, drop crotch pants or, you know, fucking—
Josh: How often are you wearing drop crotch pants?
Tommy: Right now. I'm actually got them on right now. I've got them on right now. And so I was wearing these yesterday.
Jess: What kind of shoes do you even wear, TJ? I can't remember.
Tommy: What, sorry, which one?
Jess: What kind of shoes do you wear? I can visualise Josh's, but I can't—
Tommy: I've got like a pair of Adidas white, um, netted sort of material. Yeah, no, no, no, not those ones. I've got— and then I've got— I've got two Adidas pairs, JoJo. Yeah, so I've got the netted ones which are more like a runner, and the other ones which are more like a, um, the classic Adidas, but not the classic looking style. Like, it's the same sort of white leather shoe. Um, but yeah, I mean, other than that, it's— I've always worn like the sports shoes. I'm fucking pissed off, my feet are too fat to fit into Adidas, like the brand new Adidas that actually look sick.
Josh: Why did I give you my Nikes? Because my feet were too fat for them, but they fit you. So if your feet are fat—
Jess: they're wide.
Josh: Yeah, I've got very wide feet. They're an E, like I have to— when I— yeah, I don't know if that means anything to you, but yeah, I have to get the— I can't just even New Balance, like New Balance, Asics, I can't get the normal ones. I need to get the wides. Yes.
Tommy: Yeah, yeah, it's annoying. How many pairs of shoes have you got, Jess? I reckon you'd be quite high. Yeah, it's your dirty little secret.
Josh: I think I've worn in the last week Yeah, what do you got on right now, Jess?
Jess: Yeah, I'm barefoot right now.
Josh: Sure, that makes sense.
Jess: Which is unlike me, I usually wear shoes all the time out there, over there. Um, just runners at the moment, but love, love a loafer.
Josh: I think a loafer, is that like a Dunlop Volley?
Grace: Is it?
Jess: I don't know. No, it's a Dunlop Volley.
Josh: No, Vollys were like the big sort of the white sort of things, sort of like Vans. What's a, what's the The phrase loafer, what does that actually mean?
Jess: It's just like a, it's a black leather shoe and it has like a little thing that it kind of comes up the top.
Tommy: Slip-on.
Jess: Right up to here.
Tommy: They slip on like a low heel at the back. They look—
Jess: It's like a slide.
Tommy: Look, if you're getting in a fight, you're not running off in a pair of loafers. They're coming off and you're going barefoot to leg it. And so—
Jess: Yeah, for sure. I mean, and the bad boys are Tony Bianco, the tight.
Tommy: Oh yeah, have you got the, the ones like, what's that brand? They could be Gucci and they've got like the fluff at the back. Yeah, we killed 4 little foxes to get that. It's, um, have you, have you got, do you know what I'm talking about? The loafers that everyone wears?
Jess: Fluff?
Tommy: Well, it's like mink. What is it, mink? Mink hair?
Grace: The front's like the black bit and then the back is the fluffy bit coming out.
Jess: Yeah.
Tommy: Yeah, real obnoxious, but a statement that you've got a bit of coin to drop on.
Jess: Huge flex.
Tommy: Half a shoe. I mean, with a bit of fluff. Forgot the back end.
Josh: Looks like you've fallen into spotlight or something. Jess, that looks like a new top that you're wearing. It looks great. What, tell us about the top.
Jess: It's really old actually. Really, really old.
Tommy: That was, did you just get, did you just take a punt there, JJ? Like, well, no, so she's—
Josh: You'd already, like, so I hadn't seen it before. Jess mentioned the logo. It's just, yeah. So I just, I took a punt that it was new.
Tommy: I reckon you could be worth saying everything's sort of been around for a while because you have so many clothes, Jess. Or are you like, she has so much in her wardrobe. She's got like 5 leather jackets. I mean, not that I've seen you wear one. But actually one I've seen you wear. So it's probably safer to say like, tell me about that old number you're wearing.
Jess: Just to clarify, I've got 4, not 5.
Tommy: Okay, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. Sold one on eBay.
Josh: And so Jess, how do you decide what you're going to wear any given day? Like what, how do you decide?
Jess: What, at the moment I've only, I've really just been rocking my exercise tops to be honest, which this is now 'cause it's so old. I've transitioned it from my wardrobe into to my exercise cupboard. And so I forgot about it, it was right at the bottom and I was like, ah, whipped it out, thought I'd pop it on. But it, you asking me about this logo?
Josh: Yeah, you can tell us about it.
Jess: It looks a bit like Reach. Reach, don't you think?
Josh: Yeah, it does.
Tommy: Or is that Volcom? Is it Volcom? They've got a star thing.
Jess: I don't know what.
Josh: I don't know if it's Volcom.
Tommy: You got so many.
Josh: How about like, it's ASOS.
Tommy: How about hearing like, Was it Justin Bieber would only wear his undies once? You know, he did a Calvin Klein deal, so I'm sure he put—
Jess: Guys, can I tell you something funny that's just happened? Okay, I was laughing before. I got distracted because my mum texted me, um, and it flashes up on my screen and it goes, "Hahaha, Bridget Jones's moment." So she's obviously listened to the Too Much Tully podcast.
Tommy: Yeah, explain that because I found that funny when we were recording that.
Jess: I'm glad you found it funny, TJ.
Tommy: Well, I just, I, I got it, but I was like, I, I know something's going down here.
Jess: Yeah.
Tommy: Um, so I kind of laughed, I kind of laughed because I knew you'd be a bit embarrassed, and I was crying.
Jess: I don't even care. Who doesn't wear, um, uh, what do you call them, like sucky in pants or like Spanx?
Grace: Like the— yes, Spanx.
Jess: What are they called, Grace? Spanx. Yeah, who doesn't wear that stuff when they're going out?
Josh: I would love to get Spanx. Spanx never made it to such a big guy's wardrobe.
Grace: I've got to get Spanx for the wedding.
Josh: Yeah, it would be nice. I mean, the problem is that I feel like I would potentially— Spanx would— it's not encouraging me to do like actual, like the healthy work that I need to do to fix my, like, to, you know, fix my fitness.
Jess: Yeah, but it feels good when you're holding yourself in.
Josh: Yeah, no, I agree. And so anyway, so you have, so you've got like big undies. Do you call them big undies?
Grace: They're just tight.
Jess: In my defense, I always wear knickers underneath, like proper, like nice ones. I do generally probably wear good knickers out, but like they're covered in like multiple layers of like clothes and Spanx. And so Tully brought up on the show the other day 'When you go out, always wear nice underwear because you never know where the night's gonna take you.' And I said something like, 'Haha, we've all had our Bridget Jones moments.' And Bridget Jones, the movie, obviously she's wearing these like high briefs, they're kind of—
Josh: Granny undies type of thing.
Jess: Granny undies, yeah. And so I don't know about you, Grace, but I have— Here we go. I'm so sorry. But I have my workout undies, and then I have my going out undies, work nice ones, kind of.
Josh: So you put work and nice ones in the same boat?
Jess: Cool. As soon as I said that, um, just— okay, just the two different ones, like everyday nice ones and then exercise. Anyway, the reason I said that is because I— West Bank's Sometimes when you go out and it's happened, you know, you randomly take someone home and then, yeah, that's not even a—
Josh: surely it's not even a conversation, is it? It's like, it's not a thing, or you're an asshole if you've said it.
Tommy: If you've, if you've said— I've had the experience where I've been with somebody and I, I, you know, I, there was— I thought I was in an elderly home. There was— they were beige, they were big. And I didn't say anything. I wouldn't say anything. I haven't really thought about it until now. And at the moment I'm like, yeah, whatever.
Jess: It did go through your mind.
Tommy: It did go through my mind. Not as much judgement as I threw it then. And I still know I'm just being silly. Just being silly.
Josh: You thought you were a hero. I was like, look, I'll do this.
Tommy: Do it. Absolutely not.
Josh: I do charity gigs in my time.
Grace: Can we get you service signed off?
Tommy: No, no, no, but it did. I saw him, I was like, clearly. And, and I could tell she was a bit embarrassed. And so at that point I'm like, you feel the vibe. And so if you don't, if you just, if you lent into it, I don't know, this is—
Jess: I did.
Josh: So is it a colour thing? So I can just imagine this is not too dissimilar to stockings. No, is it just like stockings that are extended up to your sort of To your chest sort of thing, just under your chest. How far up are they going?
Grace: You can get like full body, like full, like up to kind of, yeah, under your rib cage.
Tommy: Oh, that wasn't my, that wasn't my incident. My incident was underwear that was obviously an actual Bridget Jones. Yeah, just like, yeah, actual, like big beige, like baggy. I don't know what was happening. I was confused. I was confused.
Jess: See, this just validates the whole thing. Like, guys do think about this stuff.
Josh: The thing is, it's not the girdle thing. It's not the— Yeah, but I think that what TJ is describing is the quality of the underwear in the sense of like the sagginess or things like that, which is like, you could have the same criticism around someone someone's t-shirt if it's not ironed. You're like, oh, yeah, yeah, it's ironed.
Tommy: Yeah.
Josh: So there's a difference between that and— yeah, I don't think there's a— there's an issue with a, um, with this— with a spank type of thing.
Tommy: I mean, I don't mind the spanks. I'm just— they're quite practical. It's like, obviously you want them to sort of be—
Josh: Have you ever pulled off a spank for someone, TJ? Like, is that part of the undressing process, or do you feel like—
Tommy: All my ex-girlfriends have done it. I think when you're with somebody, it's like it makes— you don't really give a shit at that point. Yeah, I've put off some Spanx in my day. That's what you're saying? I've put off Amy's.
Josh: That's a, that's a quote.
Tommy: That was Spanx in my day. Yeah, I mean, it's a good brand integration that you need help sometimes.
Josh: Yeah, but I think that that's like, um, it makes sense. And so that was on the latest episode of Too Much Tully. But Tully wasn't happy with it. Uh, well, Tally's the opposite. Her normal relatable self was like, she wears two—
Tommy: she wears a matching lingerie set when she goes out, which could be seen as overkill, or it could be seen as a good approach. And, you know, she loves it.
Jess: Primed.
Josh: Yeah, she's primed for a braless shoot and more. Don't know what that means.
Jess: Laughing at the thought of my mum Picturing me having the Bridget Jones moment.
Josh: I mean, I love the idea of eventually us having some of our podcasts animated. I think it would be great to have that scene with your audio, like you as an animated character. I think that would be quite funny.
Jess: That would be. Yeah, I'm looking to it.
Josh: All right, great. All right, good one, guys. Thanks. I think that was okay. We all, we all feeling better?
Tommy: I'm good. Are you better?
Jess: I feel better.
Tommy: Are you good?
Josh: Yeah.
Grace: You all right?
Josh: Yeah, I'm all good.
Jess: Yeah, no, he's great. I just have one final question though.
Josh: Yes.
Grace: Okay.
Tommy: This could throw us off.
Jess: Last night, grand final.
Grace: Mm-hmm. Oh yes.
Tommy: Yeah.
Grace: How are you feeling, Jess? Are you happy or are you sad?
Jess: Who's won? I'm happy because Geelong's obviously won.
Grace: Yeah.
Josh: Yeah, I can't believe how much they won by.
Grace: They're my second team, so.
Tommy: It was crazy. Well, yeah, I mean.
Jess: What's everyone else thinking?
Grace: At a nighttime grand final as well.
Josh: It was a good vibe. I ate so much cheese.
Grace: Oh dude, so many beers.
Tommy: Yeah, yeah, I mean, I was watching UFC, to be honest. It was, um, Masvidal was—
Josh: I want to get your UFC, um, at least a sweatband, like, like just for your wrist or something.
Tommy: UFC merch. I just want to actually see if there's any good UFC merch. Men's t-shirts. There might be some good shit. Oh, it's all a bit broken.
Grace: I do images or something.
Tommy: I do actually like Izzy. Adesanya, Israel Adesanya. I don't think that's how you say his surname.
Grace: Jess, did you have a big final party last night? Like with your—
Tommy: Huge.
Jess: Me, myself, and I. Yeah.
Tommy: Any Bridget Jones's moments?
Josh: Oh yeah, your family, they could have been in Bendigo. Are they able to do anything?
Grace: Yeah, big party or anything?
Jess: Um, well, no, because they're still really restricted as well, pretty much. Like, you can have 5 people over from another household, so I don't think this is—
Josh: I don't know. I mean, that hasn't changed anything for me. Uh, I would have had the week in the same way. But, uh, thanks everyone. Uh, thank you, Grace. Thank you, Jess. Thank you, Tommy. Uh, it's the, uh, Daily Talk Show. Enjoy your, uh, your weekend, and we'll see you tomorrow. Have a good one.
Tommy: See you guys.
