Who's Writing The Script

Tommy: It's The Daily Talk Show, episode 911.

Josh: Happy Thursday! What is happening? What's going on? What's going on, everybody?

Tommy: Uh, TJ, there's, um, you know, with Donald Trump, he's saying to fire people. Have you heard about this?

Josh: You're fired.

Tommy: It's just saying fired, like he's just getting, getting rid of a bunch of people.

Josh: I actually don't know what to believe with what the media is saying. At the moment, like, what's he saying? I just don't know.

Tommy: What have you heard?

Josh: You can never take it face value for face value.

Tommy: He tweeted, he tweeted saying he's gotten rid of this person, introducing his new one.

Josh: Yeah, yeah, but the way it is, like, it's an episode of, um, you know, The Apprentice.

Tommy: I mean, it's a brand value, isn't it? It's a brand value. I didn't want to get down in the politics, but what I'm saying is maybe I'm a little bit like Donald Trump because, uh, today I got a message from JB of Slack. JB, you're not fired, don't worry. He said, "Matty, you doing the script?" Did it for Screenplay Sunday.

Josh: We recorded it.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Josh: Well, this is the show that I got fired by.

Tommy: Yeah, you were fired from. And you know, sometimes when people get fired, other people win, don't you think? It's not this, it's not all negative.

Josh: Well, I mean, yeah, the people that fell over in that ice skating race made way for David, what's his name? Bradbury, not David, but I wish you didn't say David. David Bradbury.

Tommy: David Bradbury. And so, I said, JB said, are you writing the script? And I said, no, I asked Jess to. And he said, oh, Jess isn't going to do it because she was told that she was banned from writing scripts.

Josh: I think that is true. Did I hear that?

Tommy: Potentially. However, I— if I say you can write a script, surely the person that bans you, if they ask you to write the script, surely that means you're unbanned. No, it—

Josh: is it like a boss coming to rehire you and the person's like, well, I know you're saying that you want me to—

Tommy: No, it wasn't. It wasn't even fired. It was— no, it was like, it was, it was like the, the apprentice nearly cut off their hand on the bread slicer. And then 2 years later, finally, you know, the boss at the time said, hey, don't use the bread slicer. 2 years later, they're saying, hey, can you use the bread slicer?

Josh: Are you saying that the trauma of having your arm cut off, you are the trauma that fired Jess?

Tommy: No, I'm the boss. I'm the boss. I'm not the bread. The script that Jess wrote was the cut of the finger. And so, anyway. The thing, things are moving, things are happening.

Josh: And so, hang on, have you found somebody to do it?

Tommy: Well, GB's got a lot of editing on. I'm not going to put that pressure on him.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: Grace, Grace has a lot on. She's, you know, doing applications and things. She can't do it. Yeah. I'm going to do it. However, there is a little bit of me that's annoyed about it. So, in the classic Donald Trump style, What I'm doing is firing Jess from today's Screenplay Sunday, and Tommy Jackett, I'd like you to sit in for Jess. Will you sit in?

Josh: You have to work in the bird. The magpie. This is the condition. The magpie, yeah. Sure. The dead magpie that has come back to haunt.

Tommy: Yeah, we can do that. Yeah, I can. When I say we, it will be me. I should have just gotten someone on Fiverr to write it.

Josh: Well, that is a good idea.

Tommy: It would have been a good idea. You suggested just getting someone from Star Now.

Josh: As an actor, yeah.

Tommy: As an actor, but we've done a lot better than that. We've got Julian Haig, one of the best actors in the country, coming on Screenplay Sunday.

Josh: Yeah, don't think he can be found on Star Now. Through his agent though, and we've cut the usual pecking order to get to him. We've gone straight to him and he's on the show.

Tommy: Great, we got his Gmail.

Josh: We've got his Gmail, that's right. I gave him a call. We had some great banter and now we'll do this.

Tommy: I hope you saved some for the podcast.

Josh: Yeah, I did. I said save it for the show, mate. But I did tell him that I'm not going to be on it. I'm not going to be on it.

Tommy: Okay, well, you can message him and say, oh look, change your plan. You want to write the script?

Josh: Nah, that's fine. I'm just going to rock up. You can't fire a guy in the first, second episode. And then expect him to write anything.

Tommy: No, no, no, but I also— it's just a lot of pressure.

Josh: I juiced up Julian, I got him there.

Tommy: Yeah, no, no, it's good, it's good. No, I appreciate that.

Josh: Can you at least write a grumpy character for me, just in case?

Tommy: Yes.

Josh: You think I'm putting off negative energy. I will give— that's my character.

Tommy: That's a good idea. Uh, I think I could give, um, I'll have a fighting scene between you and Julian Haig. Jess says in the comments, so mad, with an angry face. Jess, if you're mad, what am I? I'm fucking furious to wake up in the morning and have George message me and say, mate, what's happening with the script? It's a shock. It's an absolute shock to the system.

Josh: I mean, do you think she will fire you as her— you're—

Tommy: she's the admin coach to you, and she's like, the thing is, as the admin coach or the admin mentor, surely—

Josh: Undecided on that.

Tommy: Surely she should have at the very least, if you're going to not do the script, fine, but then you should at least commu— you know that I communicated, I said, can you please write the script? And so in that moment, even if you gave pushback and said, ah, nah, it's bad, whatever, there should still be, I feel, as an admin person, a follow-up being like, you know what, JJ should, um, like, I should follow up with JJ and just say, hey, how are you? Like, are you actually cool to do the script?

Josh: And so is— I'm just looking in the chat that we have about it. I think it's bled over into a different chat outside of its own dedicated area. Was, was it said, was it said in the chat, Jess?

Tommy: I don't know if it's said in the chat. No, I don't know where it was said. I don't know where I was saying. And so it's frustrating. It's annoying. But the thing is, I feel bad because the thing is, I seem like I was really trying to— Like, it's put me in this position. So, I asked, I didn't even think about this. I knew that Jess didn't want to do the script. And I think Seb had mentioned, I don't think Jess wants to do the script. And so, I said like to Grace yesterday, I said, oh, do you want to do the script? And she said, oh no. And I forgot why. And so, this morning I thought, oh, maybe she's just, you know, nervous or whatever. And so, I messaged her this morning, being a real suck, being like, oh, do you— Would you please do it? She's like, oh no, sorry. Like, I've got to write that job application. So, it seems like I, in my mind, remembered that she had the job applica— Like an application she had to get done.. And I'm like, hey, I know you have that, but there's bigger priorities. And so it doesn't make me look good. No one looks good here. Jess doesn't look good. Grace is fine.

Josh: You're fine.

Tommy: How have you ended up fine? Like, the guy who ruined the vibe on episode 2 has some—

Josh: According to one person on the call, let's make that clear.

Tommy: Oh, well, I don't know. I think everyone was feeling it.

Josh: It's unconfirmed, like the— confirmed the whereabouts of who decided on who was going to write this script.

Tommy: Yes. Yeah.

Josh: How have I ended up here?

Tommy: Well, you just sometimes just sitting— yeah, just sitting back, isn't it? There's something in this, just like not, not entering into it, not getting involved. And then it's like, this is why I think with friendship groups too, so the big friendship groups, you're 20, 30 people, eventually there's going to be a falling out. If you stay outside of those circles, you sort of get the, you get the cream, the people who say, I can't be fucking bothered with this sort of stuff.

Josh: It's like, okay, God, I haven't had that in a while.

Tommy: That's, um, but you know what I mean.

Josh: Yeah, yeah, I know, yeah, I know what you mean.

Tommy: I mean, I never had the big friendship group, but I can imagine.

Josh: Yeah, you're talking high school. I mean, some people still battle through friendship blowups at this age. Different though. Different times. Anyway, so, I mean, I don't— We don't want to rattle the cage too much because we want to at least have a Christmas party where we can enjoy each other's company. Yeah.

Tommy: Well, yeah, this is the thing, like, morale's somehow— I know how it's like with Jess's comments in the chat. There's definitely a narrative that's being built at her end that I somehow am the bad guy. Whereas I just want to say I just woke up in the morning looking forward to a great script by Jess, and I got a Slack from GB. GB knows that I'm pissed too, because when GB said, haha, Jess said she was banned, I just wrote back, I'll do it. That's all I said. No haha, haha, no, I'll do it.

Josh: So, how long is it going to take you? When are you going to do it?

Tommy: It'll take me 45 minutes. I'll find time.

Josh: Do you need to speak with the admin queen to get her to coach you through getting it done?

Tommy: No, no, no, it's fine, it's fine.

Josh: Do you need a Cal invite from Jess to get this done?

Tommy: No, no, I'll put in the calendar invite.

Josh: One thing I will say is I won't tell Julian Haig the fuckery.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, leave it to me. Yeah, maybe we'll call Jess up just on the phone. Call her now. This is Jess. Oh yeah, you could call her. Should we call her now?

Josh: Well, I think it's, I think there's, I think you, you get to give her her side. It's like a debate. You go, uh, you've got, you can give her whatever time frame you like before she gets hung up on.

Tommy: Okay.

Josh: And she gets to rebut.

Tommy: Okay, here we go. This is, uh, Jessica Lucas. You talk, you talk. I don't even want to fucking talk.

Jess: Hello.

Josh: Hi, Jess, it's, um, Tommy here. Hey, Gowie.

Jess: Hi, good, how are you?

Josh: Yeah, good, good. I've, um, I, I'm talking because Josh doesn't want to, and, um, I thought it'd be great to get— give you the platform to rebut anything that he's putting out into the ether that may misrepresent you or just be sort of clouding the situation.

Jess: Yeah, um, I mean, like, when he flashed that first time, I literally wrote back and said, no, you banned me straight away. So I don't know where he got the impression that I was actually doing it. I was just trying to organise Grace or Meg to do it because I knew that he was busy and, you know, I don't— I was banned, so I can't keep writing this script, you know.

Tommy: You actually sound upset. It's okay, I'm gonna, I'm gonna write the script. It's gonna be all okay. But I think, I think it's better if you, you sit on the bench for this one, but for episode 10 Oh, fuck, did I Google Julian Haye?

Jess: Fuck off.

Tommy: Yeah, he is. He is very attractive. Yeah. I mean, you've already had Drew. I think you've had enough sort of meat that you've been— what do you say? Ogling? In the last week. But yes, Julian is attractive.

Josh: Jess, can I just cheque in? Are you hungover?

Jess: I don't feel great. It's like ripped— I reckon it's ripped my fucking stomach lining up.

Josh: What happened?

Tommy: What did you drink?

Jess: Pretty much I did, um, a gin shot. Yeah, and, uh, and then we had gin recording the episode, and then I had a couple glasses of wine with a friend last night, and I was fine. And then this morning I was like, oh my God, my stomach is not great. Oh no.

Tommy: The, um, it's funny when we all share calendars because I get an insight into your calendar, and I'm just like I sometimes see things, I'm like, what the fuck is this? It was G and J, vino, it's in the colour with like about 40 O's. I was like, what is this calendar? What is this event?

Jess: I thought I had it on private, but I was thinking it is on private. I checked it because Tommy said the same thing. I was like, maybe because you guys are owners of the G drive, you can see everyone's calendars too.

Tommy: Yeah, maybe. I mean, I do ask you, like, is it too much? When I ask you questions like, oh, how did the house inspection go? And things like that from the weekend.

Jess: That's fine. Okay. I mean, I can see when your rent's due and—

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, that's very true.

Jess: And you have appointments and stuff like that.

Tommy: It's all very true. The, um, yeah, the Manscaped is in the cowl.

Josh: Yeah, when you shave, quarterly trim. Yeah.

Tommy: Okay, well, no, I think it's fine. Like, I think There's nothing really to be done here. The Screenplay Sunday—

Jess: Wait, wait, wait. Are you genuinely upset?

Tommy: I'm fine. I'm fine. I was like, I was pissed off. I did stand— I was in bed when I read the message. I was about to get up. And I was just looking out onto Smith Street. And I was like, okay, there's a choice right now. There's a choice right now. I could either be pissed off all day. I was going to say, okay, hey guys, let's move around the shows because I'm just going to blow up if I go on the Daily Talk Show 15 minutes after finding this. And so I just— no, but look at me now. Look, this is how woke I've become. I sat there, I sat on the end of the bed, I put my feet to the ground, and I said, today is going to be a good day. And I was like, and it's good content. And so I got up and had a shower. And so now we're all good, I'm fine. I actually enjoy the script. Actually, if you look at it, I've got some— my main concern was I didn't want JB, you know, having to do it with the editing he's got. But looking at the calendar, I actually have a bunch of spaces, so I can definitely do it. So it's all fine.

Jess: Excellent. Well, thank you for taking that on and leading the team in such a great way. Great, thank you.

Josh: And, um, yeah, sorry, you had to get to this point where we're having a phone call about it, but that's okay. That's next.

Tommy: But isn't it good that it's all sort of feels, you know, resolved?

Jess: I was just thinking though that, um, can we not do my reviews online?

Tommy: Yeah, sure. No, well, I was thinking like, uh, did you ever do 360 reviews at your old, old jobs?

Jess: Yeah.

Tommy: Okay, well, yeah, we could— maybe we could do the 360 podcast hosted by Georgie Boy from Hump Day Replay.

Josh: Yeah, but I like yours.

Tommy: Yeah, it'd be good fun. Yeah, we could imagine it could be like a real sort of, um, it could be done like a serial, like, um, yeah, like a crime show.

Jess: Yeah.

Josh: Um, Jess, I guess while you're here, we can do some other admin. We'll just— we were talking Jess and I about Christmas party, and we, you know, I was thinking, you know, JJ, you're not fond of sort of some heaving space where there's lots of people around. We need to find that sort of place in the middle.

Tommy: What do you think, though? Because I'm open to the greater good of the team. So if you think, if all the team's going to enjoy it, at the end of the day, I can just be against a wall away from everyone else. Like, I can— if you imagine a table, I just, I just am at the bit where there's no one else.

Josh: At the exit, about to run.

Tommy: Yes.

Josh: No, but we were saying golf, playing around, at least doing some activity. Because I wanted to, I wanted to go to the park with a duffle bag, finally get it and play sports. Just piss up and play sports.

Jess: And I said no, I ruled that out.

Tommy: Really? And what's wrong with that, Jess?

Jess: No, because we can— we did that in lockdown. Like, we need to be able to go and do things that we weren't able to to do. So, can I tell you my idea? Because I think Tommy didn't enjoy it, but I feel like it's a good bonding thing for the team. And then we can go— I think you would enjoy this. I think Maeve would enjoy this. And then I think afterwards we can go get a drink and then everyone who wants to stay and drink can stay and then the others can maybe go home if they want.

Tommy: Can I guess what you're going to say? You will not. If it's bonding, you will not. I think it's one of those like destroy room things where you go and smash shit up or something. Is that what it is?

Jess: That was Tommy's idea.

Tommy: Oh, really? That is a very Tommy Jacket idea. Guys, stand back, I've got the fucking—

Josh: Axe throwing. Axe throwing. It's actually really fun. There's a place in Collingwood.

Tommy: What about a middle ground, which is archery? It's a little bit less sort of macho.

Jess: Can I tell you a storey about archery? I have bowed arms, so I— the little string, like, whacks it and it bruises my arm.

Tommy: Okay.

Jess: They go in so much.

Tommy: All right, well, so we won't do that. So what's your idea?

Jess: Okay, so my idea was, um, there's this place called Free to Feed, and it's like 4 hours, and you go in and you talk to a refugee. The refugee takes you through a cooking class, and, um, and so they teach you, uh, about dishes and how to make dishes.

Tommy: You know, Jack Post's wife works there, Bianca.

Jess: Really? Yeah, it's really— I've done it before. It's so nice, and like, you get to eat, which we all love. And then you can also, I think you can pay to drink there as well if you want.

Tommy: And so, is it just the team or are there going to be other people there at the same time?

Jess: Well, we could just get a team one potentially.

Tommy: Okay. Yeah, I'll speak to Bianca. I wonder if that's possible because I know they do like Persian food, like people from Iran or whatever do like.

Jess: Yeah, it's bloody delicious.

Tommy: Yeah, I like that idea.

Jess: And then it's cultural as well because you can ask them questions about their experience in coming over to Australia and whatnot. So it's really interesting.

Tommy: I do like that idea. And then axe throwing after that.

Jess: So, you thought I would be open to it again?

Josh: Look, I never said it wouldn't be good. I just thought it's knocking out a whole, pretty much whole day at some joint.

Jess: And then we're going to smell like onion.

Tommy: Yeah, sure.

Josh: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Tommy: I mean, there's worse ways to smell like onion. I think like cooking's— we do the cooking, yeah. We cook along.

Jess: Yeah, there is.

Josh: Yeah, it's definitely different. I find in my mind I'd be bored, like having the— I never mentioned the Smash Room whatsoever, so it was not fucking my idea, but it was more activities that require sort of a bit of energy, hence the park, whether you're doing like— you actually come up with, you know, where you're getting in teams or whatever it be.

Tommy: Like laser tag.

Josh: Yeah, it's a bit sweaty though. I don't like laser tag because you got all that shit on indoors. Um, but something, something outdoors. But anyway, I would— I was saying driving range or a golf course, like doing a round in the morning and actually pairing up and it being nice and fresh. You do a few things, round robin.

Tommy: Yeah, I mean, that could be fun. I mean, go-karting just finishes too quick. It does feel like you go there, you go all the way to fucking Dandenong or whatever, you go to Le Mans. Oh yeah, you, um, you have to go, you have to sign that, like, the admin's annoying with go-karting. You have to sign away your life, it takes a lot of time. What about, um, so 10-pin bowling?

Josh: Yeah, I love that.

Tommy: Yeah, I feel like, Jess, you'd be a 10-pin bowling family.

Jess: I'm not really. No, like we used to, like we went bowling back in the day, but not now.

Tommy: Did you ever—

Jess: When you do these activities, most of the time, this is just me, most of the time you just want to sit down and drink, you know, and get and catch up with everyone.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: And so that's definitely like, so cooking our own meals isn't really conducive to that.

Josh: It's like taking a date to the movies. You're not really going to Well, so, yeah, the thing—

Jess: Yeah, the cooking thing.

Josh: Yeah, go on.

Jess: Sorry.

Tommy: You go.

Jess: The reason that I came up with that is because I didn't think that, like, you would want to go sit at a bar, and that's like the next fun thing, kind of thing.

Tommy: Well, we're not even clear on where bars are. Last time we spoke, we're still— It's still up in the air.

Josh: No, there's just pubs.

Tommy: Yeah, I'm happy with a rooftop. I think the problem is that everyone's going to be thinking about it, but At the end of the day, we need to do something that I'm happy to do, what's going to make us all happy. I think let's do— Yeah, let's have a think. How do we work it out? How do we come up with solution? Does everyone put in 3 ideas and then we all sort of vote on them?

Josh: Throw them out of a hat.

Tommy: Vote on them?

Jess: Yeah.

Tommy: I think that that could be good.

Josh: Unanimous.

Tommy: Yeah. What was that last bit, Jess?

Jess: I said, oh yeah, we just pull it out of the hat.

Tommy: Yeah.

Jess: Okay.

Josh: There's something about there's just less need to discuss anything if it's pulled out of a hat.

Tommy: Or someone just snatches it. Yeah, but the thing, I guess, that it's just like, so, but there could be things where it's like, or maybe we whittle it down. So, we say, okay, like you've just got to put a vote, like if you had to pick someone else's pick, you have to pick one from them. I don't know, like we can—

Josh: It's Big Brother. It's we're voting people out of the house.

Tommy: No mail-in. It all has to be in person.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: Because, you know, I'll try and rig it.

Josh: You'll bring the lawyers after.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: Trying to get your decision turned back.

Tommy: I actually watched an interesting short doco on Giuliani. I didn't realise he was the mayor of New York.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: It was a big like, big figure in New York around sort of like 9/11 and stuff. Yeah. Anyway, thanks, Jess. No bad blood. But yeah, you can remove yourself from the Cal invite for, um, Screenplay Sunday for today.

Josh: I mean, I mean, you could have chosen better ways to end, end the, uh, sign-off.

Tommy: No, I was just thinking you don't want her just twiddling her thumbs, you know. Um, all right, great. All right, thank you. Thanks, Jess.

Josh: Thanks, everyone.

Tommy: Bye. Goodbye, Jessica Lucas.

Josh: Um, I went down a— were you obsessed with hole-in-ones as a kid. Hole-in-ones in anything.

Tommy: Oh, did you see the hole-in-one that's on Twitter? My brother James tweeted about it.

Josh: Just recently?

Tommy: Just yesterday. It is ridiculous. Go to twitter.com/jamesjansen.

Josh: James Jansen.

Tommy: I'm guessing that's it.

Jess: Yeah, this is it.

Josh: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Tommy: So, scroll down just a little bit., and you'll see at the Masters.

Josh: Oh, okay. So, that is the one I saw.

Tommy: From pond to pin, Rahm skips to a hole-in-one on number 16 at the Masters. This is ridiculous.

Josh: That was— So, picture grabbing a rock and skimming it across a lake. But what he does is uses his golf club and hits a ball and it runs along the water across the lake to the green on the other side. So, yeah, that is why I watched it and why I went down a rabbit hole yesterday.

Tommy: It's—

Josh: it is phenomenal.

Tommy: Found any good ones?

Josh: Oh mate, top 10, top 10 hole-in-ones. There's a montage on YouTube, 1.5 mil. It's ridiculous.

Tommy: So do you think that golfer was planning to do the skip?

Josh: Like, I don't think any of them— well, I don't think— no, I don't know that, but I don't think— this is what I asked, um I asked Michelle Timms, basketballer. I said, are you— you know, like, you shoot and you might hit the backboard and it goes in, or it hits the rim, then sort of falls.

Tommy: Are you aiming for the backboard?

Josh: Are you aiming for the backboard? Are you aiming for a swish every single time? And as she said, it varies. But I mean, this is where you're hitting a golf club, you're not saying to yourself— I don't think golfers are going, hole in one this time. They're going, there's the there's the hole, that's where I'm going, taking this ball. And so then you land a hole-in-one, which is completely—

Tommy: surely, I think when you're a pro, the idea is you're always trying to get a hole-in-one. Or not a hole-in-one, you're always trying to aim for the pin.

Josh: There would be very few cases where you're like, for it. But the goal, if you had the goal— I think it's an amateur's mind. I think I would be the guy trying to get hole-in-ones, and I never, never get them. I'm shit at golf. But if you were to just say the goal— the goal's wrong because the goal could be, yeah, to the pin. I need to get this ball to the pin close as possible.

Tommy: I think if it's a par 3, they're always trying to get a hole in one.

Josh: Well, you're trying to get the lowest amount of hits per hole, obviously.

Tommy: Obviously small-minded thinking, but don't you think I'll be happy with it? You know, a birdie would be nice.

Josh: Don't be greedy, just get it. I trained a guy who was a golfer and he'd only got— he played professionally, not sort of— no, it's a junior professional, so before you get to the big boys league. Yeah, um, he only got one hole-in-one and that's in 15 years of playing golf of like a high level. And so at that point, are you— so is it, uh, you're trying for 15 years to get a hole-in-one is what you're saying?

Tommy: Yeah, because the thing is, it's not like, it's not like you, you are aiming necessarily directly for the pin. You're aiming for the green. Yeah. And then you know that, okay, the green's fast or slow, or it sort of moves in this direction. And so, like, if you look at it, it's very— I think that the hole-in-one would be a lot more rare where it actually just goes from, uh, from tee to pin. Like, I think that in most cases it would hit the green first and then bounce or do something.

Josh: There was one where it bounced, hit the green once, and actually bounced in like a basketball, like you're hitting a fucking swish. Ridiculous.

Tommy: Did you ever go to the golf?

Josh: Nah, that seems pretty boring to me.

Tommy: It was good. It's good fun. Good amount of walking.

Josh: I mean, I love watching— it seems bad, but the crowd when the ball hits the crowd.

Tommy: Yeah, sure.

Josh: So brutal. It's like, you guys, you knew you were standing right at the fucking green, dude. You're hot, you're all covered, you're all huddling in the green, the ball's coming, mate. I've had bad— I've, I've, I threw a golf ball once as high as I could in the air and it came down. I was trying to catch it, smashed me straight on the forehead.

Tommy: Oh no.

Josh: Had to go to the doc. Mum took me to the doctor because it looked like the ball had just gone into my head. It was so fat, it was a It was a bubble that had just popped out.

Tommy: I was just so into gear when I was younger. One piece of gear that I had was a, um, it went at the end of your putter and it was like a little suction thing. And so you didn't have to bend over. Oh, that's a great idea. You're just like, it would just like suck the ball and then you'd grab it. But as a like a, as a third, as a, as a chubby 13-year-old that was drinking way too many sweps raspberries and hot chips. I was just like, I should have been taking the opportunity just to bend down and grabbing the bowl. But I was just like acting like I was like the things that were designed for people in their 60s, I was using.

Josh: I think even Trump bends over to pick up his balls.

Tommy: There is, um, there's an interesting gear nowadays. Like, I could imagine, like, I remember there was the Smart there were like the electric caddies, like the golf, like, so, your— Where you put your clubs rather than a golf cart. It's like the— You would normally pull it or whatever. And there's ones that were like electric where you would just sort of pull it and it would just move along on its own.

Josh: I remember— It takes the weight of it. Yeah.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: Yeah. It's, I mean, it's a 75-year-old woman's device. Yeah.

Tommy: Yeah. And so, I never—

Josh: Man or woman. It's like your back's done and you don't want to push the thing. Well, to be honest, I'd fucking get one. It would take a lot of the hootsperat, like the heave-ho out of it, and you get to focus on your game. That's the thing. You could be 3 hours walking around. I'll tell you just one thing about the lockdown in Victoria. The golf courses that are public that you can have access to, and so they— there's one near my parents' place. It's beautiful. People were having picnics on it. It was, it was like, oh really? It was amazing. Think about that land, how beautiful golf courses are, and this was open to people to bring rugs and roll it out. It was amazing because we walked— I walked past there recently and there's no one, no one was walking because they don't get hit by a ball and all the golfers are out. But it was, yeah, my dad was saying it was awesome.

Tommy: That's nice. I mean, this is, it's fun. We won't do this, I don't think. But Churchill Park Golf Club, for me, I spent 6— I was there for 6 years as a member.

Josh: I like—

Tommy: I know the course, right? The, you know, the West, um, the West Course. Yeah, you know, like, I'd smash it.

Josh: There is— if we— there is a Bulleen course that is public, so it's not— you can get in if you just want to pay. It's really nice and it's close to the office, 10 minutes.

Tommy: Okay, great.

Josh: 15 minutes. There's options. Mm-hmm. Um, yeah, all right. What have you done for a Christmas party that you liked for a team? Let us know. Hi@thedailytalkshow.com.

Tommy: Thanks guys, enjoy your day. I've got a bit of a cough on a night— nightmare, but a bloody bit of bloody, um, what's it called, the storm asthma. Do you hear that?

Josh: Oh yeah, no, it's a serious thing. Be careful.

Tommy: Yeah, a lot of people out there, guys, a lot of pollen.

Josh: Yeah, all right, enjoy, Dave.

Tommy: Have a good one.
