Just A Bit Funny

Josh: It's The Daily Talk Show, episode 921.

Tommy: Happy Sunday, Gronks! What's happening? What's going on, GB? Welcome, buddy.

George: Thank you. Fired up today, feeling good.

Tommy: What are you fired up for? Tell me your top 5 reasons for being fired up.

George: Well, uh, Screenplay Sunday finale is out. That was great.

Josh: Thank you to the— Can I just say the Book Room Collective, it was very— It was so lovely that they sponsored, that it's almost— Your mum does such nice things that I get anxiety about the thank you. Like just saying thank you doesn't feel enough. So, I haven't even written to her yet because I'm trying to work out what to say.

Tommy: No, Josh, we're actually flying you up there to say thank you in person.

Josh: No, but you know—

Tommy: A day trip.

Josh: Do you know that problem where it's like when someone does something for you, which is like overly generous, And then actually you don't know what to do.

Tommy: Dude, this lady gave me a compliment and I like poo-pooed it or something. And she's like, can you just stop that?

Mason: You're really dumbing down on poo-poo, by the way.

Tommy: Can you just, oh mate, my son's obsessed with poo. Everything's poo-poo-poo. He fucking loves poo. It's full on. Doesn't like shit, just likes poo.

Josh: Just poo.

George: Anyway.

Josh: What did the lady say for you to say no, no, no?

Tommy: She said something like, oh, you're really great at what you do or something. And I was just being, You know how that makes you feel a bit weird when someone's giving you a really nice compliment, but it's the same thing.

Josh: What were you doing at the time?

George: Massaging.

Josh: It was on shoot too.

Tommy: No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Josh: I'm retiring cunnilingus, by the way.

Tommy: It was nice. She actually just said, "You're shit at taking compliments, Tommy." And I was like, "Ah, that's true." So I've like lent into them a bit more, But it's that thank you, it's like being really, oh, thank you, that's so nice. And so Josh, I know the feeling, I think it's in the same space as getting a compliment or someone doing something nice, it's like, it just makes you freeze a bit.

Josh: You're not worthy, you know?

Tommy: Maybe, yeah. But what I will say is I'm sending over a tax invoice, so it is a tax deductible contribution.

Josh: Yeah, great, and we just got our charity, Like, what's it called when you get your, uh, charitable donation for the year? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Tommy: Where the charity.

Josh: And so, GB, yeah, so that's, um, you're fired up about Screenplay Sunday. What are the 3 things you fired up about?

George: Um, well, visiting a friend for her birthday. Oh, that should be nice. Um, yep, legally, before the restrictions ease even more tomorrow. Okay. I think they will be easing more. Really?

Josh: What are you predicting?

George: I think you can have like, I'm pretty sure you can have like 100 people at a party or something. My God. Could be wrong.

Josh: Sounds like a lie.

Mason: Surely not.

George: Oh no, sorry, sorry. Sports centres will be able to have 100 people.

Mason: Different to a party.

George: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Josh: What about laser tag?

Tommy: That's a party and a sports centre.

Josh: You've got it, Josh. What else, mate?

Tommy: What else?

George: Says that. And just, I don't know, just, it just feel— I just get that feeling of like coming to the end of the year and it's just like, feels like the end of school and it's exciting and Christmas is coming up. Teachers are a bit looser, you know.

Tommy: Yeah, everything, everyone's a bit looser. It is right, like they've started putting Christmas decorations on everything. Um, went out with Bodhi and he was pointing, oh my God, there's a Christmas, Christmas tree up there, like on top of shit, like just, you know, down, down the streets there, you you know, decorating. Have you seen any, Josh?

George: Have you?

Josh: I mean, I haven't seen that many, but what I will say is this time of year reminds me of when being in school, a hot day, all of a sudden the teacher brings out some Frosty Fruits or some icy poles. Everyone gets an icy pole. Do you remember that?

Tommy: There's something about a hot day in Melbourne that has the— it just triggers so many memories. At the skate park, in the city, there's like all the things as a youth, like when you're young, you're usually just hanging around. Water bombs, like water bombs, the smell of grass, dried hot grass, just like, oh yeah, it's, um, I mean, it's weird. I, I would love to do a snow Christmas one year. I've never done it.

Mason: Yeah, White Christmas.

Tommy: Just, yeah, White Christmas, Snow Christmas, Snow Christmas.

Josh: Sounds like you're really pushing back, like, no, it's a snow. Yeah, I don't want to go to a white desert, I want to go to snow.

Tommy: No, the problem with— I want confirmation of snow.

Mason: Yeah, yeah.

Tommy: You go to fucking New York, chances it's not going to be snowing. Literally, you could book out a, you know, $4,000 a week, you know, one bedroom, and then you get there and it's raining all week. So, I want to go— when I say snow Christmas, I want to go to Zürich.

Mason: Antarctica.

Tommy: Or one of those Switzerland, one of those towns that you can walk out your front door and there's a chairlift and you can—

Josh: Not a hail Christmas. You don't want a hail Christmas.

Tommy: Absolutely. No rain Christmas, hail Christmas. Beach Christmas is what I've done majority of my life. Like, you know, near.

Josh: The novelty's worn off, I think, the beach stuff, like the— for me anyway.

Tommy: Yeah. I mean, it is hot, sweaty times. I mean, over in America, you've got old mate Giuliani, Trump's lawyer. Have you seen the photo of him doing some kind of press conference?

Josh: Sweating black? Is that some like hair product or something?

Tommy: So, I mean, he's an old man. He's late 70s and he is sweating profusely and he's obviously dyed his hair. Like, and it seems like, Seb, your hair didn't run white when you had bleached hair. So, this is like some— It's almost like he's just run it through his hair that morning in the shower and then he's letting it dry, but then it got a bit hot and now he's sweating and the dye is coming from his— He's, what do you call it? Like your temples and sideburn, temple area just drooping down, but it's got the dye.

George: Oh, yeah. It looks like he's been punched in the temple and it's like blood coming down his sideburn.

Tommy: Black blood, that's what he bleeds, just black blood. But I mean, I feel for him. Like I'm going grey. I've got greys in the side of my hair. I'm definitely not going bald, but I'm definitely going grey. I've got one.

George: I was surprised. I got my haircut like the other week and I was shocked at how many greys were falling on me.

Tommy: Well, that's really—

George: it could have been dandruff, who knows.

Mason: Are you sure?

Josh: It was all yellow.

George: No, they look like grey hairs. It was like ash, and I was like, Jesus.

Josh: Oh really?

Tommy: What's the vibe? What are you feeling, George, when you're seeing that?

George: Ah, you know, just life's getting—

Tommy: big media company's fault.

Josh: Yeah, one for every episode of Hump Day. Yeah, I mean, I feel like, I feel like, um, the trolling of my hair has ramped up of late. If Bree has one drink—

George: You've got great hair at the moment.

Josh: Thank you. Thank you.

Mason: You do have really great hair.

Josh: But for whatever reason, I think that my good hair provokes people saying what they thought my hair was going— So, it's like, "Your hair looks great. It doesn't look like you're balding like we thought," or things like that. But no, I'm fine.

Tommy: It is a drastically different look with you with the haircut and you not with the haircut.

Josh: I didn't realise this. Yeah.

Tommy: So, this takes 5 years off you, 10 years off you in terms of looks.

Josh: And this is what I don't realise, even hair, even beard, you know, but beard-wise, right? Like, I don't even think about like, I kind of see that, like, I don't even feel the difference necessarily in a big way. And then you will catch up with people. Even Grace was like, "Oh, you shaved." I completely had forgotten. Didn't even think that there was much of a difference.

Tommy: Yeah, right. Yes.

Josh: Yes.

Tommy: It definitely does.

George: Yeah, you bald. I reckon you look completely different when you're bald.

Josh: You bald. Yeah, I mean, you bald, you bald. Um, yeah, no, I, I appreciate that. I think that, uh, now that I'm sort of, uh, you know, 2021, I definitely— the year for me is, uh, going to do the small things. So not to give away the New Year's resolutions because that's happening. It's a bit early, but, um, but there will definitely be a move to going to the cafe, ordering the coffee, a little bit of, um, wow, the subtle art of not giving a fuck. Because so part of it is all of the issues I have is the stress of what's the barista going to say, what if I bump into this person, what if they want to have a chat. Like, it's like It's all thought.

George: I felt a little bit of that this morning, Josh, because I went to the cafe that me and Tommy go to, and but I didn't want to get a coffee and I just wanted a croissant. And I was like, oh no, like I have to actually say, can I just have a croissant and no coffee? And I felt awkward as about it.

Josh: And so before you even— because they could have started making it though when you— so you've got to almost walk through the door and say no coffee, no coffee, because the barista might already fucking have it in the in the little spout by the time you're—

Tommy: I know, it is a real life pressure. I, this morning, literally, he must think I'm a bit weird because I'm like, Bodhi, what do you want? Like I'm getting the vocal order about to come through for him because usually this guy would just make me a coffee. Bodhi, what do you want? Baby chai? Yep, and I'll have the chai. And by the time I said it, he was like, yeah, chai. They get onto it very quickly. They're not feeling as we are. I feel the pressure because I feel like if he starts bubbling that milk and I'm not actually getting anything for me. Yeah, you bring down the business. It could, I mean—

Josh: You walk out, they put a closed sign on.

Tommy: Yeah, we're done.

Josh: Liquidators outside, you know, taking all their almond milk.

Tommy: But no, you're right. It is just all conjured up in our minds.

Josh: Yeah. And so that will be a big thing. There'll be a— And I think that the— It'll be a good timing in regards to, I think, with the restrictions, if they ease the way that we're seeing, I feel like it's like the perfect, if I'm going to go hermit, 2020 was the year to do it, and 2021 is about sort of being a little bit more out and about.

Mason: Coming out of your shell.

Josh: Yes.

George: Yeah.

Tommy: Yeah.

George: No, I like it. So with the resolutions, can you explain what— so are we picking them on December 1st, but we're not—

Josh: I don't know the answer.

Tommy: George, the reason was, the problem is—

Josh: Don't get curious on that one, George. I'm gonna stop you right there. Do not be curious.

Tommy: You do resolutions on Jan 1 traditionally, or a lot of people do, but the problem is it's Jan 1 and you've got momentum into the new year through Christmas parties, through, you know, I don't know, any other debauchery that you've just, you know, like things that you've just let go of physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, as Craig Hubbard would say. Yeah, so December 1, at least putting the intention in place to have cracks and fail by December 1st. Not that you have to talk about them on December 1st.

Josh: So this is where it gets a bit hard, I think, because TJ, like, we had the idea and so we're like, well, December 1st, we're gonna come up with it and all that sort of thing. And then at the end I said, but let's not say what they are, which I understand is very, it's sort of like, hey guys, we're gonna organise a disco, DJ, all that sort of thing. And last minute, like, just, I'll put in one thought, no dancing. Please, just if anyone dances, I think it will ruin it.

Tommy: We've got a press conference, but no one's going to be talking.

Josh: Yeah, we can't. Yeah, we've got the hall, we've got the DJ, we've got the speakers, we've got everything. Wear your dancing shoes, but please, out of respect, do not dance. Do not dance. There will be chairs. And so I think—

George: Just on that.

Josh: Yes.

George: Sorry, just quick side note. You know, in, I think in like New South Wales or the rules in New South Wales at a wedding, you can have either dancing or alcohol. At the moment. You can't have both. You're picking what I'm saying, what you want.

Tommy: But one can't happen without the other for most people.

Josh: Dancing sober is very like— I love the idea. It's just like, yeah, what would you pick, JB? Alcohol. And do you think you'd potentially— I mean, how do they, how do they monitor? So can you have, can you have music?

George: And I don't know, I think, I think you have music, but everyone has to sit down, or there's no drinks and you can dance. So, it's a bit weird.

Tommy: Is it because they will be, everyone gets on the dance floor and makes out if they're pissed?

George: Yeah, I think it's like a touching thing, getting close.

Tommy: Alcohol will make people dance even if there's no dance floor. I've been at venues where there's not meant to be a dance floor, but somehow we've found one. It's like a random pub, next minute the fucking, the bar is an absolute heaving dance floor.

Josh: GB, what sort of, when you drink, what do you end up doing? What's your go-to? If you've had a few, what does GB become?

George: Uh, just a bit, um, like, I guess funny.

Mason: Just a bit funny boy.

George: Just a bit like a bit of a smartass. Just a bit, I reckon, a bit sharper.

Mason: Now, do you think you get a cold room? Just get a few drinks in GB.

Josh: Do you think, GB, do you think it's the quality of the jokes you're making or your understanding of what's funny?

George: I think the quality goes up and I'm a lot faster with like coming up with stuff. I think it really helps.

Mason: Do you reckon it's just because you don't have the barrier? Like you're not thinking about people judging you for your jokes, so you're just quick.

George: Maybe, but something, it just, I've even noticed it. I've been like, Jesus, that was very good. Like came up with that one quickly. Wouldn't have been able to do that without.

Tommy: Is it that you're quicker or you're quicker to give yourself a compliment for something that was good? Because I reckon I'm good at giving myself compliments when I'm drunk, but I don't know if it's the reality that I'm actually quicker or smarter or anything.

George: Yeah, I don't know. Well, I mean, you'll see at the Christmas party, I'll be on fire for sure.

Josh: I'll say no drinking.

George: I don't mind.

Josh: We'll just be dancing.

George: Oh yeah, dancing.

Josh: Yeah, yeah. But I find that, uh, Bree is it gets very loose. And I almost feel potentially, Mason, do you agree that, that Bree is looser than I am?

Tommy: He's great, that's him, great.

Josh: And I, and I'm the one that's like reining it all in.

George: You're reining it in, yeah.

Josh: And apologising to everyone. Just yelling on the balcony, like just yelling on the balcony or—

Mason: It's very funny though.

Josh: She's just, she's just come in here going like, I'm not going to say what you said. But yeah, there was a lot of things that were said that's just—

George: Who was she yelling at?

Josh: No, she was just, she was just doing dear.

Tommy: Young, free, young, wild, it's fine, living, letting loose.

Josh: What do you think, Mason, out of you and Grace, what's the, uh, where do you go when it comes to alcohol? What are you like? What is Grace like? And how does it work together?

Mason: I mean, I get very open-mouthed, laughy, just real, just real silent but just like can't stop giggling. And just, I just find anything very, very funny.

Josh: Which is a perfect combo.

Mason: Which is great for George.

Josh: Yeah, exactly.

George: Can I say a quote that Mason said when we were having drinks here one night?

Mason: Oh, geez.

George: You came up to me and you were a bit pissed.

Mason: Can't remember this.

George: Oh yeah, you're saying that a lot, but oh, you can't remember this yet. Sorry. You came up to me and you said, um, I understand why people do this. It's fun, isn't it?

Josh: It's getting very meta, isn't it, at that point? Yeah, talking about it, being obsessed over it. I mean, that was the Los Angeles experience, TJ.

Tommy: Oh dude, well, I was a sober one while Tully, Mason, and Josh were just getting plastered, and it was— there was nothing. I mean, the George, you would have had it when you're 14 drinking. That you're all like, wow, how do we feel?

Josh: I can't feel my hands. I can't feel my hands.

Tommy: Oh my God.

Mason: I do this every time though. Like, it's just, it's still just like moving your head to see if your vision's catching up with how much you're doing. And like your hands, how's your face? Like, is it a little bit—

George: you know, it's definitely a 15-year-old thing. I remember going to, going to the toilet heaps because I— you got told you get really dehydrated when you're drunk. So I'd like go off to the toilet and come back, be like, "My piss is still clear, guys.

Tommy: I'm fine." Break your seal. But yeah, it is quite, I mean, most people have probably forgotten, most people that probably listen to this has forgotten these times. But yeah, what you're observing is a child drinking.

Josh: And what is it like, TJ? What's your go-to when you're drinking? What's your version?

Tommy: Odd, out there, fun, funny, fun.

Josh: Funny.

Tommy: Nah, fun, it's like an energy. It's like an energy in that is fun.

Josh: Different experiences for different alcohol, do you think?

Tommy: Uh, I mean, people do say that.

Josh: Tequila tummy versus like red wine tummy.

Tommy: Nah, I don't, other than setting. It's like you're not sculling red wine, but you're doing beer bongs with cruisers, and so there's obviously going to be a difference in the environment. Snorkel thing that you can shotgun a beer or drink really quickly.

Mason: So it's like a cap.

Tommy: No, that's a—

George: it's like, it's a hose taped onto a— don't worry, funnel it— a bottle of Coke.

Tommy: Yeah, Tully will be bringing a snorkel to our Christmas party and some Cruisers for you.

Josh: She actually has one. She does have that one.

Tommy: She would have one for sure. No, but it is, um And so the setting, I've always heard that, you know, different drunk. I don't know, I don't think so. I just think they're different environments which lead to different things. You know, you might get a bit punchy drinking lots of beers at the football versus having a red wine at a, you know, little supper club.

Josh: I think that's my feedback with the, you know, going out to clubs. I just wonder what the club vibe gives you, right?

Tommy: Versus— You get fired up. Yeah, it's, it's like an intense— it's, it's just noise and momentum moving forward to debauchery.

George: Yeah.

Tommy: And so you love saying that word. Yeah, I mean, the thing is, yeah, you're more fun drunk, Josh, than you are normal.

Josh: But I get the sense, I get the sense though that I can be good. I know I can get— what do you mean, Sam? What's, what's not?

Mason: Well, I don't know, I don't know if that's the guy you want to be, more fun when you're pissed.

Josh: So do you think that you're— do you think you're less fun when you're pissed?

George: No.

Mason: No, I'm probably similar to you, but I, I don't, I don't know why. Because I don't want to be that guy, you know.

George: You don't want to make that a standard.

Josh: Yeah, no, but I don't know if there's a huge amount of— I think, to be honest, part of it is when you're drinking, other people around you are drinking, and so everyone's a bit looser. But I think that I could enter into the looseness, and I have many times before, without drinking. So I— you almost like you don't pretend, but you almost, uh, you're just entering into the vibe. So it's like, oh yeah, improv, yeah, I fucking do improv.

Tommy: Yeah, well, you just lose some of those, you know, inhibitions, or, well, the day you feel like you've got judgment. And so, yeah, so you're talking about the walk into a cafe, you're probably not going to be thinking like that if you've— the problem is it's a drug at the end of the day that we're talking about. Imagine if this was— if cocaine was legal, and what we're talking about right now is What do you like on cocaine? Like, this is the thing.

Mason: How do they— how are they deciding which drugs are legal and which aren't? Because surely, surely there are drugs that are legal that aren't as bad as alcohol. Like, alcohol, if anything, should be illegal because of the impact that it has on people, right?

Tommy: Absolutely. It's like marijuana not being legal and the, the deaths from marijuana are at zero in terms of the chemical itself directly killing the individual. And then alcohol—

Mason: and then smoking's just like smoking, you know what I mean?

Josh: Like, and so what's the answer? So one thing is it's like, there's people where it's like, in, um, one of the states in, uh, the US, they've just legalised all illicit drugs.

Tommy: Really?

Josh: All of them.

George: Yeah.

Mason: See what happens.

George: Well, I think it's going off the theory of like It's not good, is it? You know, once, um, there was a time when alcohol was illegal and what they found—

Josh: Prohibition?

George: Yeah, yeah, Prohibition. And what they found was that it just caused way more people to smuggle in homemade stuff, which is essentially like more dangerous.

Josh: Even with the high tax of like tobacco, there's a huge black market for tobacco. Oh yeah, bring, you know, sort of smuggling it in and things like that.

George: Yeah, so I guess they— yeah, they made it, um, you know, so they can monitor it and stuff, have bottle shops and that sort of thing.

Tommy: But think of the business around it, think of everything connected to it. It's bar— like, think about what the nightclub or night scene is, restaurants. It's all connected. If they just made alcohol illegal, you see the problem that it ends up causing.

Mason: But imagine if you culture just didn't have it. Like, imagine so alcohol was completely eliminated. I think you could still go to a pub, you could still go to a club. Like, that would all be fine.

Tommy: Says the guy that doesn't go to pubs or clubs. No, but there's still no interest in wanting to go to the—

Mason: no, absolutely not. But you still got the restaurant, you still got lights, you still got music, like, or everything you need.

Josh: How many people are going to the clubs for the lights, by the way? Oh, you'd be surprised. That's very funny. You still got the lights. It's got the strobes, it's got the lasers. I guess that, I mean, it's a good point that I'm sure there are people.

Tommy: The point is that how we're so far down the hole for people who are consuming alcohol that aren't even addicted but just like it as a social lubricant or just, you know, every now and then, like Limo who was on the show, he told us about it, you know, him drinking wine at night, loves it. But the point being, if you just remove all of it It's what's gonna happen. What would fucking happen? I don't think they could. I don't think we're at a time where we could make it illegal again.

Josh: I think the thing is, the key with alcohol, I think, is it needs to be connected with big social. So I think that the unwinding thing may be problematic. So it's like, you know, having the, you know, having, I need a drink or whatever to unwind, but to, as a mechanism for a social gathering, you can see why it's so popular from a social gathering perspective, because it's like you have— like, I think that my biggest, uh, concern when there's a social thing is it's like reading the room and being like, oh, do they want— like, is everyone happy? What's going on? When you have had a bit, everyone— like, everyone's just a bit more transparent. And so it's like, okay, no, it's all good, everything's fine, I can chill.

George: Yeah.

Tommy: Or everyone is still the same, but you've changed. Not that everyone drinking, 'cause there are people that don't, that struggle with, it definitely opens people up. But yeah, it's a quicker way to get there. I guess you can—

Josh: Is it not like having an honest, like, so it's not this, but is it like an honesty pill or something where it's like, hey—

Tommy: That's what they say.

George: Yeah.

Josh: Do they actually say that?

Tommy: Well, it's known. It's like, what you said last night when you were drunk is actually the truth.

George: So someone's like, that's the classic. People used to say in school, drunk minds speak sober thoughts.

Tommy: Yeah, exactly, exactly. And so maybe you just— Oh, oh!

Josh: By the way, on Screenplay Sunday, that was me that snorted, by the way.

Mason: You're outrageous. You just, you threw Graves under the bus.

Tommy: Oh, really?

Josh: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was me snorting.

Tommy: Own your snort, dude. If you were drunk, you would have fucking owned that.

George: No, no, I think I appreciate a snort.

Josh: Yeah, I think it was something funnier about just like someone defending themselves. It wasn't me, because it's like, yeah, why are you lying about that? Just, just own it. Um, yeah, so, you know, the, um, yes, uh, drunk mind speaks sober thoughts.

Tommy: It's a, um, which in some respects there's a lot of regret that can come from drinking because I believe it's not everything Proverb.

Mason: It's a proverb.

Tommy: Yeah, you can call someone a fuckwit and not actually mean it, but mean it in a moment, but you're not calling them a fuckwit as in you hate their guts.

Josh: Was it Seneca that said it, JB? Who was the philosopher?

Tommy: Tim Ferriss.

Josh: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, Tim Ferriss is a guy who loves— I mean, it's interesting when you start to, um, you know, listening to Dax Shepard on, um Tim Ferriss, you can hear how alcohol and all these sorts of things, you can see why they are a bit toxic and you can see the problem. I think that what's hard is I was the pushback guy for 28 years or whatever, not doing alcohol. What's funny?

George: When you were one, you were like, no.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: Ah, no, absolutely not.

Josh: Yeah, I was, I was.

Tommy: Putting the scotch away, Dad.

Josh: But there is, yeah, there's a middle ground where it's like, okay, like I want to socially, you want to be able to go out. You don't want to be the person who's like, you know, there's people who it's like they can't have a good time unless everyone else is drinking. You know that, you know that person where it's like, oh, come on, why aren't you drinking? Like, here, I'll get you a drink. Like, what do you want? Because it's like it's going to inhibit their ability to have a good time if everyone's not off their chops.

George: Yeah, yeah, that's a bit of an issue.

Tommy: It's a real issue.

Josh: What do you got, JB? I feel like you got something.

George: No, no, I just, uh, blank, guys, blank, completely blank. The New Year's stuff.

Tommy: Oh yeah, so yeah, we're gonna— it's just start thinking about what you want to sort of start implementing over the December period.

George: Here's my question. Are we announced? So we're not even announcing it on December 1st. We're announcing it on 1,000 and then we have to just tell the truth and be like, I've done it or I haven't done it.

Josh: Yeah, I'm really curious about it because maybe I am very excited about my New Year's resolutions.

Mason: And you love a prenup.

George: I think you need to be kept accountable. I reckon you need to announce it.

Josh: Yeah, so what about if we put it in an envelope somewhere?

George: Oh yeah.

Josh: But we could also do it like we could I'm happy to communicate what it's going to be. It's going to be something for me, just in a vague sense, and then we can sort of work it out.

George: What if we all tell one person?

Josh: Yeah, that could be good, and they're all you. A lot of weight on your shoulders. Yeah, you're the liaison of all resolutions, resolution liaison officer for the team.

Tommy: But I'm thinking check-in guy.

Josh: Yeah, for me it will be— even though the step challenge was horrendous, it will be a mix of—

Mason: are you announcing it now?

Josh: No, no, I'm just giving a sense, just give me a sense.

Tommy: This is the tease for the non-reveal on the 1st of December.

Josh: It's a bike, it's a bike resolution that's based around kilometers, and then there are—

Mason: you're riding a million miles in a month.

George: Oh, a million miles, that's good.

Josh: Kilometers, no, we're talking kilometers. So there will be there'll be a kilometre aspect and there will be a step aspect. So I'll be taking two sort of cardio things, and potentially there'll be a reading aspect, how much I'm reading. I don't want to go— no, not on the bike. That will be sort of, you know, on the— you have to rest. You can't be on the bike all the time, you know. So that give it— can we have it, TJ? Can you give us a little tease of what I haven't landed?

Tommy: I haven't landed. It's definitely on just fucking getting shredded.

Josh: Okay, sure.

George: Yeah, great.

Tommy: Nah, is it? It's definitely, yeah, a little bit. Just, you know, just being—

Josh: can I say, would there be some sort of boxing involved?

Tommy: No, I haven't got— I haven't—

Josh: maybe chicken protein from the eggs, the chickens, the pussy, maybe. No, I haven't.

Tommy: I literally haven't thought about it.

Josh: Okay, okay. Yeah, so this is a problem. I'm wanting to design everyone's GB.

George: Um, well, mine was going to be in the same realm as reading.

Mason: Okay, really?

George: In that area. Haven't worked out, or, you know, how much per day.

Mason: I will say, went to, um, I know, I know Kaz sponsored, um, Screenplay Sunday, but went to Avenue Bookstore, uh, on the weekend and In Albert Park?

George: Is that a local bookstore?

Josh: No, it would be Richmond, wouldn't it?

Mason: Richmond. Yeah, in Richmond, right near Hunky Dory and Grilled.

George: That's, uh, great.

Mason: It's lovely. Literally, we probably spent 25 minutes in there just looking, and it's a bit hard with COVID because I don't know if you're meant to touch the books, but like, we were just picking all of them up.

Tommy: Buy before you try.

Mason: Yeah, but just lovely. Like, I miss covers.

Josh: Like, did you buy a book? No, okay, so this is the—

Mason: if you—

Josh: I don't get the book, spend the 25 minutes, and then went to it online. Yeah, just outrageous. No, no, scanning the barcode, ISBN. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Mason: But no, but like, just like, they do a great job of like selecting which ones like go on the shelves and stuff. Like with Amazon and stuff, like you got like their bestsellers and stuff, but they're not really that good. Like The— in the actual bookstore, they've got like this science one. They had like all these different covers and it was great.

Josh: Because it's more sort of personally picked. It's more bespoke. It's not sort of— you can't give the personal touch that a bookshop has. Does your mum, GB, does she look after any of that sort of stuff? Is she actually placing? Is she doing visual merchandising?

George: Yeah, big time. And my— everyone is in that store. My stepdad, he's great at it. You got your face-outs, you got your spines, um, you know, and if you get a face-out, low, lower. Yeah, yeah. If you're getting a face-out, that's big time. I mean, so it's usually you go like spine, spine, spine, face-out, spine, you know, sort of really, you want a bit of everything.

Josh: I mean, there's no lower than a spine unless it's like stored out the back, right?

Tommy: No, it's lower. It's around the other way, pages out. I don't even know what book it is.

Josh: Yeah, that's pretty loose. Okay, great. No, I think something around reading would be good. But December 1st, that's when we'll find out more about what everyone's doing.

George: It's a long run-up.

Josh: It's not that long. It's 2 weeks. Yeah, a couple of weeks.

Mason: 10 days.

George: Yep. 10 days.

Josh: Great. Alrighty. Well, enjoy the rest of your Sunday and we'll see you tomorrow. Have a good one, guys.

George: See you guys.
