From this episode’s transcript.

  • –The hosts committed to supporting local businesses every Fat Friday for the rest of the year instead of chains like McDonald's/Hungry Jack's.
  • –Workplace food etiquette varies by job: undertakers, personal trainers, and tradies get more leeway than jobs involving close public contact (perfume shops, jewellers, painters).
  • –Childhood canteen food and slang (tuck shop vs tuck lunch) varied by school and region, sparking strong nostalgia.
  • –Missing out on limited online product drops (like artist CJ Hendry's) led to a speculative tech discussion about VPNs, DNS lookups, and Cloudflare CDNs as potential workarounds.
  • –Simple practical tip for online drops: have payment details autofilled/ready (e.g., Apple Pay) rather than manually entering card numbers.

Questions this episode answers

Why were Josh and Tommy eating from local businesses on this episode?

They had committed to a running theme for the rest of the year called 'Fat Friday' where they support local businesses instead of big chains, after almost ordering from Hungry Jack's.

What was the news story about undertakers eating McDonald's?

A funeral hearse crew in Kent, England was photographed stopping to eat McDonald's breakfast with a flower-covered coffin and deceased woman still in the car, which an onlooker called disrespectful.

Why did George miss out on the CJ Hendry art drop?

He kept refreshing the artist's website but every item sold out before he could purchase, prompting Josh and Tommy to speculate about VPNs, DNS lookups, and Cloudflare as ways to gain an edge on future drops.

Josh: It's The Daily Talk Show, episode 912.

0:07

Tommy: Happy Fat Friday, Gronks! What's happening? What is going on? Uh, what do you got, JJ?

0:13

Josh: I've got a, um, going local today. Like we said, we're going to support small businesses, and this is a favorite.

0:22

Tommy: Can we say when we realized— because we, we make a lot of promises, and one was to the rest of the year, all Fat Fridays, local businesses, support local, nice thing to do. But we just, we really, you remembered, great memory, when we almost had made the, you know, pulled the trigger on going to Hungry Jack's.

0:40

Josh: Yes, yeah, yeah. And then we quickly realized, and the other thing too is I had a shoot this morning with Mr. 97. And when we have early shoots, sometimes we'll get coffee. I don't like going in necessarily to cafes. So I went to McDonald's. I also got, supporting, uh, the Ronald McDonald, you know, Happy Day, the house thing, they do socks now.

1:06

Tommy: Yeah, socks.

1:07

Josh: So I got it. Oh my God, there's like $5.

1:09

Tommy: It's quite cool. I like those.

1:10

Josh: Yeah, so, um, you can have them. They're on the— they're from the business, so I can put them aside for you. Get taxed.

1:16

Tommy: I mean, they're very hipster, like, it's look great with sort of like a little, um, kind of, you know, three-quarter pant.

1:22

Josh: Yes. Vibes. They are quite trendy. But no, today is about supporting local, and that is why I am having one of my favourites from Abbotsford when I used to live on in Victoria Park, sort of near— It wasn't at Victoria Park.

1:39

Tommy: You didn't live in the park. You lived in an apartment building nearby.

1:41

Josh: It was an apartment building near Victoria Park in Abbotsford. And one of my favourite places to go was on Johnston Street. It's a place called Kelso's.

1:51

Tommy: Oh, yes.

1:52

Josh: And they do a tuna melt.. And so I have a tuna melt today along with, uh, I ordered a hash brown, they gave me two. I've already eaten one. Oh, that's nice. So I had a hash brown as well.

2:03

Tommy: What's— I mean, you think hash brown, you think the shape that comes from McDonald's. Is it the same shape?

2:09

Josh: Yeah, shape. So it's like a—

2:11

Tommy: I mean, that's not McDonald's shape of a hash brown. That's the same, that's from the same supplier, but at least you paid a local business. I mean, I paid a local business. I went to Hunky Dory's and got some, um, grilled calamari. And when I say grilled, I mean fried.

2:26

Josh: Oh, this has chicken salt on it.

2:28

Tommy: Yum. Oh, absolute winners.

2:31

Josh: So you've got fried calamari or what?

2:33

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, salt and pepper. Salt and pepper fried calamari. It's beautiful. From Hungry Dory's. But look, we're in our own homes. We're eating what we want. We can stink the house out if we want.

2:45

Josh: Yep.

2:45

Tommy: You know, like I go to my brother's place the other day. I walked in, I was like, whoa, fucking salmon. Salmon's been here. He was cooking salmon on the stove. So, I like to bake it because I hate the offensive smell, to be honest. And so, you're in your own house, you can do that. I didn't feel like I wasn't in a place saying, "You shouldn't have done that." Well, the tuna melts don't smell bad.

3:10

Josh: Like, I am very opposed to bad-smelling fish. It sort of, you know.

3:16

Tommy: I don't even think it's like— So, here it is. Went into the office the other day. Jess had been in there, George had been in there, and it smelt like a chicken shop. Like, so pungent. So, I mean—

3:37

Josh: Offensive.

3:38

Tommy: Offensive because of how strongly it smelt. I don't think chicken smells offensive.

3:43

Josh: Yeah.

3:43

Tommy: Off chicken is how you'd reference offensive chicken.

3:46

Josh: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

3:47

Tommy: But just based on the absolute abuse it gave my nostrils, I was like, oh my God.

3:52

Josh: Especially when you're not eating it.

3:55

Tommy: Which brought up the thought of where is it appropriate in your workplace to eat certain types of foods? That looks fucking amazing.

4:03

Josh: Yeah, it is good, this cheddar melted.

4:04

Tommy: Tell you where one place, I mean, this is actually, you can be the judge. This is the headline, Undertaker's stop for Maccas with dead body in the back of hearse.

4:18

Josh: Oh, so that's pretty gross, isn't it?

4:20

Tommy: So, it's a funeral car. They're the Uber for the dead people. And, you know, A to B, B to A, and then, you know, whatever happens after that. But—

4:33

Josh: No, you can't. You can't be eating, you know, anything. You can't be eating nuggets. While someone's dead. Don't you think that's almost like eating while taking a dump?

4:46

Tommy: I mean, both smell like death sometimes.

4:48

Josh: Yeah. But don't you think like, I mean, it's different, like a wee being sort of Judge Mantle's job?

4:58

Tommy: Well, I think the job ends up being you're quite removed from it. You can't be a hearse driver and be so emotionally attached to every, every job that you've got.

5:10

Josh: You're just picking the kids up from school in a hearse.

5:14

Tommy: I mean, not in a hearse. The contentious point is that there was someone in the back, and that someone happened to be a woman, and that someone has family, blah, blah, blah. You know, you get it.

5:24

Josh: So someone's gotten upset about it.

5:27

Tommy: So someone's taken a photo. A shocked onlooker has slammed undertakers as disrespectful for stopping to eat Macca's. With a dead mum still in the hearse. Uh, Deborah—

5:39

Josh: did they at least ask if she wanted it?

5:41

Tommy: Otherwise known as Dibidob Deborah, 57, shared snaps of the peckish funeral workers eating breakfast despite having a flower-covered coffin behind them in Kent in Southeast England.

5:52

Josh: I mean, they need to eat. So they weren't eating in the car, or they were?

5:57

Tommy: No, they're eating— they've gone to get their Maccas and they're in the car.

6:02

Josh: I wonder, can you leave a dead body in a car? Is it considered sort of obviously important goods? Like if you go into the shops, do you have to worry that I don't want to leave the— Or you got to put a towel over it so no one knows because they might steal it?

6:18

Tommy: Well, I mean, here's the thing. Usually they're taken from the funeral parlour. This is like where my auntie used to work. That's what the dead bodies I saw were the ones like. I think that's probably more inappropriate. At some level showing some kid the dead family member versus the people who are driving. I, yeah, I don't quite know. I just think there's— I don't think it's the end of the world. I, I think it's just your timing. Why do you need Maccas? But I don't think I can relate to how they feel because in my mind I wouldn't— I'd be fucking freaked out. I've got nothing I want to do other than— what am I doing with a dead body in my car anyway?

6:57

Josh: I've murdered somebody. Yeah.

7:00

Tommy: I've murdered somebody. But—

7:02

Josh: I mean, what other jobs do you have to be sensitive like that?

7:08

Tommy: Oh, mate, think about any kind of beauty parlour or fragrant-driven business.

7:15

Josh: Perfume shops are so fragrant.

7:18

Tommy: Too much. Too much. I mean, get it, baby gets a headache. Baby can't choose. All I end up doing is just sniffing coffee beans, and I don't know if anything works.

7:30

Josh: Oh yeah, yeah.

7:31

Tommy: You know, it's like, and then I just, just, I don't know, just trying everything.

7:35

Josh: It'd be disgusting, like eating a tuna melt whilst in a perfume shop would be hard work.

7:41

Tommy: So what else is there? I mean, what are the— I mean, anything you'd be surprised—

7:45

Josh: Eating on the job.

7:47

Tommy: Eating on the job. So tradies, building sites, Anything really goes.

7:52

Josh: Painting, you can't be like painting someone's house.

7:56

Tommy: A jeweller.

7:56

Josh: Whilst eating.

7:58

Tommy: A jeweller. It's more where people come into the workplace that becomes the real issue when there's others around. And so, I mean, this was the thing. I used to see personal trainers eating. Legit, sorry, guy, chicken and rice, just training at the squat rack, eating his Chicken and rice.

8:19

Josh: You can't do that. I mean, we were filming again, Sebbs and I, at a school today. And there's a reward system. So, if the kids are good, they can sort of, they get money, fake money, and then they can buy stuff with the fake money.

8:37

Tommy: Oh, so it still has, it's got currency. It's actually real currency. Yeah.

8:39

Josh: So, some of them was like, work the whole day laying down like on it with pillows. Like, that was one of them. Another one was like game time, like you can spend half an hour playing a game or whatever.

8:52

Tommy: How do you win that?

8:54

Josh: Well, I think it was $50. You had to, you know, use $50. Earn the credit. But my favourite one was having a snack whilst doing your work. Oh, and they have these chips.

9:07

Tommy: You're not meant to eat in class.

9:09

Josh: And they have, you know, like if you see a pole or whatever, it's like the Girls Wanted, you rip it off type of thing. I think it was sort of that deal. They had sort of, you can rip off the different prizes, and the one that had the most things torn off was the snacks. So, kids value the idea of having a cookie whilst doing their work.

9:32

Tommy: Mate, it's— I mean, it was your motto, but I definitely felt it. Just, I'm hungry. I was always fucking hungry. Kids. A lot of kids are just hungry. Like, I remember snacking hard.

9:44

Josh: What did you have at recess?

9:48

Tommy: Oh, my bro and I were talking about— Oh, because my brother and I went to the same primary school, and his wife went to one, but we kind of— The families knew each other when we were younger, but she had the same, and that was— She called it tuck lunch, which I never called it tuck lunch. Tuck lunch. I would have— I felt like I would have been bashed for calling it tuck lunch as a kid. When I transitioned from a private school to a public school, I referenced, um, uh, what I made— not— it wasn't play lunch, it was either tuck shop or canteen. I called it the tuck shop and people were like, yeah, fuck. And so, then it goes further. Tuck lunch, you'd get beaten at that public school I went to.

10:38

Josh: Tuck lunch is a tuck lunch what?

10:41

Tommy: Tuck shop lunch.

10:42

Josh: Okay.

10:43

Tommy: Tuck lunch.

10:44

Josh: That was me every day. I had— I was a lunch order kid.

10:48

Tommy: Well, there was— And you might have them because maybe it was just our era. The drumsticks, chicken drumsticks that were— There was no bone in them. They were just a shape. Draw a comical drumstick.. And that's what it came out as. But it was like, it was the same. Think about a hash brown if that was in the shape of a drumstick.

11:10

Josh: Yeah.

11:11

Tommy: Just like a, yeah, this little squiggle, you know. And so that they were, they were next level.

11:17

Josh: Next level. Yeah, they were good. Yeah, we had them.

11:20

Tommy: But the subs, subs, which were, they were these chicken strips that all taste the same. They've got like little pop bits in them, you know, like They look like almost like little ones. They were tenders, but they were fried tenders, and you get 2 of them in a roll. Yes, I mean, I was all about that because I didn't want to be at school and I was hungry, pubescent, and then just, you know, I wanted my chocolate milk. One of them, it's just such child— but it's so— it's such a teen, teen thing, just drinking your big choccy milk.

11:56

Josh: My favourite was probably the years sort of year 8. They started doing this at my school because I remember it was a time where there was a movie club as well. So, you would watch a movie at lunchtime and you'd get, you know, get something from the canteen. Nachos.

12:18

Tommy: Oh, yeah.

12:19

Josh: That's in a bucket and it's like in this plastic sort of bucket. That was epic. It's like sour cream, salsa, heaps of cheese on it. But the go-to was hot dogs. Like, when I was in primary school, it was a hot dog and then an orange mineral water, which—

12:39

Tommy: Yeah.

12:40

Josh: I thought that mineral water was healthier than soft drink, but I just discovered it was just another brand. But—

12:45

Tommy: Oh, I know what you mean. The Deep Spring. Deep Spring. Deep Spring, I thought— That's from a river. That was health. Yeah.

12:53

Josh: The— But in regards to actual snacks, the— There was a few things that I never got just because Mum is a dental nurse. The funny thing is she would let us have soft drink. Growing up, I would have about a litre of Coca-Cola a day.

13:13

Tommy: I mean, that's you. You needed that. Your Mum wasn't giving you—

13:16

Josh: So, what I was doing—

13:17

Tommy: And did your Mum know? You were having that?

13:19

Josh: Yeah, yeah, she would have known because I was doing a 600ml, like a 600ml bottle at lunch, and then you have 2 big glasses after school. And so, the 2 big glasses would be equating to at least 500ml. So, you got 600 plus 5, you got over a litre every day.

13:40

Tommy: I mean, my mum didn't let us have that shit in the house. But like we would ju- Like we had juice and stuff, but I don't know. I mean, this is— I— Bodhi likes to have a little sip of my Coke, and it's Diet Coke, but I try to say it's yucky. Nah, you don't want this. But he starts to— like, he's on to it. He's on to chewing gum now.

14:01

Josh: Yeah. Yeah. Like, well, on the chewing gum thing, that reminds me, the thing that I wasn't allowed were Roll-Ups because of the chew factor, because Mum just thought that's how you lose teeth.

14:12

Tommy: Well, they— it sticks to your You know, like you feel your teeth and it feels like there's no cavities, but there might be like a bevel sort of goes down and it just absolutely clogs it up. It makes your teeth just, you know. So, I feel like there's just sugars sitting in there. Roll-ups.

14:30

Josh: Yeah. Yeah.

14:31

Tommy: Because you can get—

14:32

Josh: There was the one. So, there was a roll-ups that were like a square. It was like 4 colours or whatever. But then there was a really long The ones that had paper? Paper? Yeah. Tape?

14:44

Tommy: Yes, it was the roll-up tape. Sick. I mean, I just—

14:50

Josh: You just put the whole thing in your mouth and chew. That was what you like. It was just like a bit like Gobstoppers. Were you a big Gobstopper guy?

14:58

Tommy: Nah, but I mean, we got— I got them. I always just got annoyed at them.

15:02

Josh: Yeah. And they're just a bit slow because you can't—

15:04

Tommy: Because I'd like the fizzy bit in the middle. Like, it's just like a sherbet, powdery sherbetty style. Compressed off the block, you know. It's, um, yeah, it's amazing how these flavours can just— I'm really remembering being in the schoolyard eating a Roll-Up. Yeah, just thinking, just, it's just, it was the best part of your day at that point.

15:27

Josh: Yeah, Samboy chips, like chips. I've said this before, chips were always available in our house, but I wasn't a chip guy.

15:36

Tommy: Yeah.

15:36

Josh: Chips would stay for a very long time. But yes, Samboy chips were a big thing. Little like fun-size Mars bar would be there. So, my play lunch would be a Mars bar and chips. Some sweet, some savoury.

15:50

Tommy: Nelly said that at her school we had chippy dogs, chips in a hot dog bun. Yum. Animals. You could add a potato cake for 50 cents.

16:01

Josh: That's good value.

16:02

Tommy: Just to make it even. Just on the side. That is.

16:06

Josh: Yeah, I wonder what the deal is now, like what are kids doing? Because even when it came to the shoot for the school, I said, oh, it would be nice to have something as a snack. And you, so you got a bunch of sort of Bliss Ball type things.

16:21

Tommy: Oh, can I just tell you about that?

16:23

Josh: Yeah.

16:24

Tommy: Sorry, just quickly. So, I bought, I was getting some snacks for the shoot. I didn't want to buy, I didn't want a bag. I didn't have in a bag with me. So I took the whole entire like cartridge or like the, what, Steph Clare Smith's brand and Laura's Bliss Ball.

16:41

Josh: What are they?

16:42

Tommy: What's her brand? Keep It Cleaner.

16:43

Josh: Keep It Cleaner. Yeah.

16:44

Tommy: Yeah. So they're, but like how they're displayed on the shelf, I just took the whole thing. 'Cause I bought like $20 worth. I'm walking down the street. So I look like a promo boy. I've got this thing. And so you're seeing the branding.

16:55

Josh: Oh no.

16:56

Tommy: And I'm walking down. Victoria Street, and I— and this guy, I'm walking towards him. I mean, he could be described as a junkie. Someone might ever describe him as that. And he, um— I get close and I kind of just look down so I don't have to make eye contact with him. And then he— which is a bad move because you should be looking straight ahead, because as he said hey to me, like, it— fuck, I shat myself because I'd been looking down so I didn't see see it happening. Bad move. I look up and he's looking at me, he's like, what are they? I said, oh, these are protein balls. Uh, do you want one?

17:32

Josh: Do you want one? Really?

17:34

Tommy: And he's like, oh yeah, brother, thank you. It was this nice exchange.

17:38

Josh: And then I was like, which one did he get?

17:40

Tommy: He got, um, the doughnut one.

17:42

Josh: Oh, he got one of the cinnamon— because you only had one doughnut one, one cinnamon, cinnamon doughnut one. So he got the other one. Maybe you said it tasted like a cinnamon donut.

17:52

Tommy: Really?

17:52

Josh: Yeah.

17:53

Tommy: Fuck, I hope he liked it as much as Mason.

17:56

Josh: Yeah, he loved it. But, um, yeah, no, what I discovered was all these things you have to consider now. It's like, uh, anaphylactic stuff. So I didn't bring any of the snacks because I didn't want to be the one that fucking accidentally brings nuts on site and kills a kid.

18:12

Tommy: Oh, it is very true. You don't want to be that guy.

18:16

Josh: No, definitely not.

18:18

Tommy: Pulls out the EpiPen, has to jab it in. I mean, we were at a Katush in Hawthorn. It's like a cake shop. It was the only place open. I wanted a hot chocolate and it was like 6:30 PM.

18:34

Josh: When's this?

18:35

Tommy: We went out for a night drive. This was like last week. So, we went for a little night drive.

18:40

Josh: This is when you're doing chap laps?

18:42

Tommy: Nah, nah, nah. Earlier in the week. And so, we drove to Hawthorn. I like that area. And then we saw this cake shop open. We went in and they've got these— they're known for this special kind of like European donut-looking pastry thing. Um, and the lady in there gave some to Beau. Oh, Beau, would you like some? She didn't know him, but she really liked him. And then she broke some off and he grabbed it and put in his mouth and crunched it. And then she's like, oh, is he— has he got an allergy? Because it's fucking covered in the things at this point. I was like, no, no, you can eat anything. I was like, thankfully.

19:21

Josh: Yeah, there's a reason I was even thinking about like, um, I'm catching up with, um, some mates over the weekend and mates with kids, just sort of like you want to win the kids over. You say like, oh, I'm thinking, I remember when I was a kid, you remember the people who bring shit for you, you remember, you know, just little things.

19:40

Tommy: Colin Kaye brought me, um, white chocolate, which I wouldn't be, um, a fan of now, but white chocolate Fretta Frocks. But that was his thing, exactly what you're saying.

19:50

Josh: And so, it would be nice. So, I remember, uh, one time, uh, my cousin Kobe, I believe, got me a, um, a Power Ranger, like a doll. It was sick.

20:06

Tommy: That's generous.

20:06

Josh: Yeah. And so, the thing is, and I just remember, like, I remember it being such a big thing. And so, then I wonder, it's like, okay, what's the— Do you just project what you want them to do? Like, because I was thinking, I was like, how do you know what to get? I guess you've got to think about, oh, what are they into? What are they like? Get them something, you know.

20:28

Tommy: Oh, so, let's work out what you're going to get this kid. Is that what we're saying?

20:31

Josh: Yeah. Well, yeah, there's two of them. Yeah. I just wonder.

20:37

Tommy: Uh, PlayStation 5.

20:39

Josh: Yeah, that would be nice. Man, just drop the PlayStation 5. Everyone's posting about it. Everybody really, really, really want one. I really want one.

20:50

Tommy: How much is a PlayStation 5 worth? I wouldn't have any guess.

20:53

Josh: ¥600,000 is my guess.

20:56

Tommy: Okay. I remember paying $180 for a secondhand PlayStation 1 and that was chipped. Not chipped as in cracked on the side of it.

21:05

Josh: Fine.

21:06

Tommy: You wouldn't understand. Do you reckon kids would understand that? My PlayStation was chipped.

21:09

Josh: Probably not.

21:10

Tommy: Are you still chipping PlayStations?

21:13

Josh: I feel like it would all be like cloud-based stuff.

21:16

Tommy: Is there still people at the trading post doing chipping?

21:20

Josh: Man, the, um, the Big W. I guess what are Big W doing nowadays? They've got, um, There's so many accessories. The, the, um, the remote looks really cool.

21:32

Tommy: It looks sick. I mean, I've— I literally thought I wanted one too, just from seeing— this is the, the effect of seeing others and the hype and build-up. Have you, do you know, have you spoken to George today about his hype and build-up and disappointment? Oh no. CJ Henry. Hendry.

21:48

Josh: Oh yes, yes, yes.

21:49

Tommy: CJ Hendry, the artist. Australian artist.

21:54

Josh: Based in New York.

21:55

Tommy: But yeah, that's what I thought. She was American. Okay, I like the connection here. So I mean, throw a spanner in the works, born in South Africa, nationality Australian, lives in New York, but does some amazing, amazing stuff like hand-drawn. The classic one that I've seen is the boxing gloves that's done with pencil that just looks so 3D, like they just, it looks like a black and white photo.

22:19

Josh: And like paint blobs, she does like the things that looks like paint that's just being smeared onto a piece of paper, but it's actual pencil.

22:28

Tommy: She's amazing. Anyway, um, she draws a bit of hype around doing a drop of some of her artwork. Yeah, I saw George this morning. He said, mate, 10 AM, 10 AM, there's a drop. I've got to be on. I'm going to be refreshing, refreshing, refreshing, making it happen. This is Tikka Tek back in the day. This was Red Hot Chili Peppers being on the blower with your mum's, you know, Visa card, because you get quick access or some shit.

22:54

Josh: I think it was Mastercard.

22:55

Tommy: Yeah, Mastercard. And so, you know, and there was a chance you'd actually— like, the phone stuff as well. Phone was— couldn't, couldn't get through, couldn't buy. So there's always that anticipation, which— there's a lot of anticipation around these paintings. And specifically this time, George was saying, uh, that there was potentially going to be ones that are really cheap.

Josh: And so it was like a cheap pricing type thing. And they also It looked— when I was looking on Insta, Instagram, they're like these really beautiful, like framed artwork that's like on a carpet material. They look sick and they're all like, I think they're all, a lot of them are money themed. Yeah. They look awesome.

23:37

Tommy: George was hoping to get the cheapest one, which he ended up getting nothing.

23:42

Josh: Oh, no.

23:42

Tommy: And he was refreshing.

23:43

Josh: Did he go in too cheap?

23:45

Tommy: No, no, he was refreshing. Every time he refreshed, sold out.

23:48

Josh: Oh no.

23:49

Tommy: And so what is it? I mean, just from a technical— I said we would sort of workshop it on the show a little bit. Yeah, if you're waiting for something to drop, my suggestion, which is absolute just talking shit, you need a VPN, mate. You need to work out where her— she is. You need to log into a VPN located in the same city to have just this microsecond advantage. Is that one?

24:15

Josh: It's an interesting concept. Uh, yeah, so what could you do?

24:19

Tommy: Like, he's got fast internet at our office.

24:21

Josh: So you need— I think you need a simultaneous approach. You need 5 or 6 people. Definitely don't use your iPhone. I remember when, uh, Hamish and Andy were doing their latest Perfect Holiday. Yeah, they did a— they put up a store and they were just selling all of their stuff, and I just got into the hype and I was like, I'm gonna buy something too. It's too slow. But, um, I think that the, the strategy is definitely— so the VPN, you wouldn't be doing it closer to her, you'd be doing it closer to her server. But then if it's a VPN, so what about this?

24:55

Tommy: Find the website, look at like, uh, right-click, inspect, find out what kind of site she's running, Word, whatever it be, like a Shopify or something. Shopify, where's Shopify's head HQ?

25:08

Josh: You could look up, you could look up what, what What was the, um, what's her website?

25:12

Tommy: cjhenry.live or something? CJ Henry.

25:15

Josh: Henry.

25:15

Tommy: Let's have a look.

25:16

Josh: Live. Yeah, we have a look here. So, so it's all sold out, all, um, looks cool. Uh, Monies is what it was called. So if we were to— yeah, I wonder if you— so if you did like a, um, DNS lookup, you could see, you could see where Did you see maybe where the server— server—

25:42

Tommy: I mean, it's a lot of work, but it could work. Because I'm thinking, remember, um, TV, you could call through, or like, um, even radio. Like, as you get into radio, you realise that it's actually nothing about the first caller most of the time, like, because they're being screened. And so if you actually didn't have the right storey or something, like, you might not get through. Sometimes first in best dress, but To be honest, it's not, because I was the gronk answering the phone while on air, running a shift, running a comp. Sometimes I just— fuck it, I'm picking, I'm picking number 3. It's just switchboard 3, doesn't mean they're just all going. And so you could easily just trunk. And so you can see where it falls over with the human touch.

26:25

Josh: Yeah, I wonder. So it looks like there's a, um, it's using Cloudflare. And so if it's using Cloudflare— so here you go.

26:38

Tommy: Um, this would have been so good for George.

26:40

Josh: Oh yeah, here you go. It's, uh, it's, it's based in Ontario, Canada. Great. Uh, it is, it is Shopify.

26:51

Tommy: Yeah.

26:52

Josh: But the consideration is that it's using Cloudflare. Cloudflare is a CDN, a content delivery network. And so what a, what a content delivery network does is it applies versions or copies of the website in all different locations around the world. And so if you're in Melbourne, you might go to, like, you might be sent to a Sydney address or something like that, or Sydney hosting. So I actually— yeah, I don't know. I wonder, it'd be worthwhile researching and finding out what people would suggest because, yeah, I understand the thinking around put— doing a VPN and potentially accessing it because there's a thing called propagation where it's, you know, getting sort of spread across the web and it can sometimes take time.

27:48

Tommy: But, um, I mean, are there— I mean, at this point it seems like the weird thing, like a hacker developing something that refreshes and tries to buy. I mean, it's the opposite, like a crazy steal, some sort of automation thing.

28:02

Josh: So yeah, some of it would be really lo-fi, which is, does he have a, um, does he have, uh, his payment details in Chrome ready to go? Or autofill, like, because if you're putting in your credit card, you've lost.

28:21

Tommy: Yeah, if you're just, oh, hang on, fuck.

28:23

Josh: Yeah, yeah. Oh no, CSV's wrong.

28:25

Tommy: I've copied and pasted it and it doesn't allow spaces, and so it's cut off half the numbers. Like, oh fuck, Jesus. Anyway, I said, mate, just go to Officeworks, print one out, you know, just print it out, just put it up on your wall.

28:39

Josh: Yeah, JB says in the comments, I was refreshing on my laptop and phone, one finger on each and, uh, one finger on each every second was absolute bullshit. Yep, had payment ready to go, he says. Apple Pay loaded up. Couldn't have been more prepared. Sorry, GD.

28:57

Tommy: Yeah, it's sad, but, um, you know, it's gone. It's gone.

29:03

Josh: You don't need to be the art guy.

29:05

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

29:08

Josh: Anyway, I'm gonna go finish this tuna melt for Kelsos.

29:12

Tommy: Yeah, nice.

29:13

Josh: Which is on Johnston Street. Definitely cheque them out, they do really good chippies as well. Uh, I would definitely recommend going, going there and, and picking something up.

29:24

Tommy: Good one. Happy Fat Friday, Gronks.

29:26

Josh: Awesome, guys. All right, and enjoy the rest of your day. See you tomorrow.

29:29

Tommy: See ya.
