Georgie Boy On The Barbecue

Tommy: It's a very low barrier to get into the Gronk Squad.

Josh: That's crazy. We've committed to do The Daily Talk Show for 10 years.

Tommy: Hi guys.

Jess: Hi guys.

Josh: Put it in the calendar. I just like to cheque the temperature in the room. I told you my squeegee story.

Tommy: It is outrageous.

George: Come on, let's go.

Josh: It's The Daily Talk Show episode 943.

Tommy: What is happening? What is going on today? A very special edition. The first Fat Friday's back. Yes, uh, and we're doing it big.

Josh: Uh, we, we have, uh, George at a barbecue. Yeah, Jess, can you cut to George please? Can we just say this is outrageous?

George: He's, uh, sun is shining here in Abbotsford, guys. It's lovely.

Tommy: So currently, currently George is above us. He's on the top floor of the BMC headquarters. And, uh, if we can cut to the 3-shot of the barbecue cam. Today we're doing a barbecue out on the deck. We've just got it thanks to Josh moving house and not needing it. We've taken it on and we've got Jess here. Hi, Jess.

Jess: Hello.

Tommy: So the full squad.

Jess: Here we go.

Tommy: There we go.

Josh: I'm having fun with this.

Tommy: I mean, I don't know.

Jess: I reckon we'll just keep it here.

Tommy: I don't know.

Josh: Jess has cut to her single shot.

Tommy: I don't know who's got more pressure on them. Jess behind the cockpit of the switching. If you're watching on YouTube, or George up on the barbecue is just putting on some onions.

Josh: I thought you were gonna say, or Josh watching her try and switch, no, Jess is doing a great job.

Tommy: George, can you, mate, run us through what we're having today for Fat Friday?

George: So today we're having a classic Aussie barbecue. We've got onions have just gone on, they're sizzling away. Italian style fennel and pork sausages. Classic Aussie barbecue. And for Josh, we've got smoky chipotle chilli Angus beef sausages.

Josh: Oh, lovely.

Tommy: I thought you'd like those, Jazzy.

George: I thought you'd like that one.

Josh: It sounds good.

George: And then we've also got some lamb cutlets because we went quite fancy.

Tommy: Can I just say lamb cutlets, I've always said to my wife, Amy, if you go to a barbecue and they're rocking lamb cutlets, they're affluent.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: These people have coin. You know, disposable income. They are looking after you. And today, do you know how much I spent on lamb cutlets? There's 6 of them. So there's not even enough for 2 each in the building.

Josh: $5 each? No, no, that'll be $30.

Tommy: $30?

Josh: Really? Is that what you spent? $30? That's what you did?

George: Yeah, it was.

Tommy: $30 for 6 lamb cutlets. Can I tell you a storey from when, me and my mates were all real big gronks. Yeah.

Josh: Are we just keeping George's audio up?

Tommy: Well, you can just bring the sizzle down.

George: It's a hot show, but we can just have that on, by the way, because I can't see anyone.

Josh: What do you mean?

George: Has Jess switched to no one or—

Tommy: No, I'm seeing it on YouTube.

George: Okay, great.

Josh: You just need to turn your laptop—

Tommy: Is the laptop still on?

Josh: Maybe the laptop is just—

George: There we go, I had to press spacebar.

Josh: Okay, right.

Tommy: Yeah, laptop went off. So my mate's 21st He's obsessed with cutlets, loves cutlets, probably still loves them. I don't know. He just had, you know, when people get a thing, his thing was cutlets for a while.

Josh: Yeah. And they're convenient because they have a holding mechanism.

Tommy: Well, yes, this is true, but it's also the flavour of them. He's not into them for the handheld nature of, you know, the meal. But this one Gronkh in our team went and nicked. Four-finger discount, five-finger discount. He didn't lose a finger. Five-finger discount. He stole probably, uh, 5 or 10 packs.

Josh: From where?

Tommy: Cutlets. From a fucking supermarket. He put them down his pants.

Josh: Who is this guy?

Tommy: Yeah, I don't really— I don't hang out with him anymore.

George: Oh, why?

Tommy: He's in jail for cutlet theft.

Jess: Yes.

Tommy: Anyway, but there was just a sea of cutlets. And then a sea of young kids who look like tennis players wearing TN shoes and short shorts. So just some lads.

Josh: Talking about tennis, do you know anything about like what the deal is?

Tommy: Well, you mean the Australian Open? Last year, Big Media Company was at the tennis. We were doing a project with Country Road.

Josh: That's right.

Tommy: Shooting a little pop-up store that they had. So I went along to that and um, it was all fine, hundreds of people there. Not this year.

Josh: And that was, uh, that was January, so they pushed it to Feb for this year, I think.

Tommy: So they pushed it to Feb 8th, a start date, which is interesting because it— like, F1 last year shut down. F1 this year has moved— the Melbourne F1 Grand Prix has moved to November. And so they've kept it and they've tried to ride this out, and they're, and they're trying to do it in this COVID-safe way. But it's a clusterfuck because they're bringing in like a plane load of people, players from overseas. And this one girl I just read this morning, maybe a Spaniard, she was complaining about the, you know, the quarantine. Come on. Next minute she's got COVID in the quarantine, which is like, fuck, that's why they didn't let you out. And it's a, it's a, it's annoying. Yeah.

Josh: GB, are you someone that goes to the tennis?

George: Yeah, I do actually. Most years we'll go to a game. I love going to the Australian Open.

Josh: Yeah, it sounds like a vox pop.

Tommy: We're crossing with George at Rod Laver Arena.

Josh: George, Gold just plays the best tunes from the '60s, '70s, and '80s. So do you go into— because I do like going into Rod Laver where it's— I can't afford that. It's okay, sure.

George: Margaret Court at best.

Tommy: Or the Heineken tent, whichever one. The thing is, there's something about summer in Australia and it coinciding with the Aus Open. Hot nights, people rocking up to work. I mean, I've really never worked in a proper workplace. Jess, like, can you imagine people rocking up like, "Oh, such a late night last night watching Roger Federer." Yeah.

Jess: Is that you?

Tommy: Every year.

Jess: Yeah, it was me.

Josh: And so would you go, Jess, to the actual tennis?

Jess: Yeah, I go every year. It used to be Heineken Day. We used to go there and with a group of friends every year, but now it's just kind of— I probably would have gone this weekend if it was on properly. Yeah.

Tommy: Yeah. Well, it's not, mate. And so it's done. It's done.

Josh: But you want a cricket person in the team?

Jess: Absolutely not.

George: Oh, yeah.

Jess: Get it off my screen.

Josh: And so, George, I said—

Tommy: sorry, Jess, I said to you the other day, what do you think of Brazilian jiu-jitsu? And you said, a bit slow for me. It's slow.

Josh: What does that mean?

George: I don't know.

Tommy: What is it?

Jess: Well, because they're doing these things, aren't they?

Josh: What? It's just like moving their arms.

Jess: What are you talking about?

Tommy: Are you doing tai chi? Brazilian jiu-jitsu. It's like shooting to take down, putting people in arm bars, knee bars, knee crunches.

Jess: Yeah, jiu-jitsu's on the ground, isn't it?

Tommy: Yeah. What were you thinking I was talking about?

Jess: I was thinking of these.

Tommy: Oh, capoeira, the Brazilian dance martial art.

Josh: That's funny. Same, same.

Tommy: That's funny. No, but it is a summer vibe. So, the tennis and barbecues.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: Which is nice because I'm sure come wintertime we will be over this barbecue.

Josh: No way.

Tommy: It'll be raining. No one will want it.

Josh: I think that like I've had a swimming pool before and I've had a barbecue and I've got to say the barbecue gets way more use than the swimming pool.

Tommy: Okay. No, I mean, they're very different price points.

Josh: Yeah, no, but like it's really— like you can get away with not using a kitchen?

Tommy: Yeah, no—

Josh: What are you doing George? Are you putting oil directly onto the meat?

George: I'm just putting oil on the lamb cutlets so I'm going to season it first.

Tommy: Oh no! George, you've put the lamb cutlets on already?!

Josh: No, no, he's just putting them out for me.

Tommy: So I had a... So I put George Head of Barbecue at BMC today. This is a... this is... Trust me, did you TJ?

George: You were like: 'Can you do barbecue?' I'm like, 'Yeah.' 'Can you?' 'Yeah.' 'No, because how confident are you? Are you very confident?' I was like, 'Mate, I can cook sausages.' If someone answers that line of questioning, they're definitely telling the truth.

Josh: Yeah. I mean, I'm very, very good at a barbecue. Like, it's one thing that I can do.

Tommy: You wouldn't be able to open a can of tomatoes, but you could—

Josh: No, I can open a can of tomato. I would just like pull the thing.

Tommy: But if it comes off, you're fucked. But I will say you can cook a barbecue. So I feel like George, you're trusted with head of barbecue.

Josh: When was the last barbecue you cooked, George?

George: Oh, good question. Actually, when I was on holidays up in Byron, I did a big snapper on the barbecue.

Josh: Fish? That's a concern. That is 3 kilos of snapper. You've got a big snapper, mate. That's some big snapper. That's some big snapper energy.

George: Slightly undercooked, but got away. Oh, really? Well, it's 10 minutes each side and could have been 12, but delicious.

Josh: Cooking fish is a nightmare. Like cooking fish in a house, I don't think you can do it.

Tommy: Okay, what's the barbecue banter that will be happening this summer? Like the go-to question, you're at a barbecue, it's Australian thing to do. You rock up, you don't really know anybody.

Josh: Ah, mate, hang on.

Tommy: What's the question?

Josh: Lose your business?

Tommy: Yeah. You know, how many grants did you You get?

Josh: get?

Tommy: You were on the JobKeeper? Do you have to get that? What else is there? What's, what's some— Jess, what would be, uh, I feel like Bendigo is probably mucking good at barbecues.

Jess: You got your shrimps ready?

Tommy: Shrimps? I've cooked, I've cooked prawns on the barbecue.

Jess: I forgot that I had to control it.

Josh: Yeah, that's fine. Yeah, if you want to do visual jokes, you've got to switch to you.

Tommy: What's your go-to banter, Jess, of someone who, um, you haven't seen in a while but you want to just get up to date with them?

Jess: Oh, um, I don't know what's been going on. I feel like—

Tommy: why, it's a classic. Can't go wrong with it.

Jess: I feel like though, by the time you get to the barbecue and putting the meat on there, you've already covered that ground.

Josh: Yeah, yeah. I mean, I feel like a real bro. When our cleaners came this morning to do our apartment, he, um, fist bumped me.

Tommy: Did he?

Josh: Which, because obviously with COVID that's just like the go-to. Like, I feel like that was a real statement a year ago if you did it. It's like being a real cool man.

Tommy: Dude, a guy high-fived me at the pub last night.

Josh: What were you doing?

Tommy: He was a dad. He was, he was not drunk. He just had a nice meal. His kid though. So I told you this week that we go to, we found this pub that's got a playground inside. It's fucking great. Games area for the kids, seating area for the parents right close by. So we can watch. Sorry, I'm burping because I'm drinking some Audio Technica beer.

Josh: Audio Technica, they do great microphones, but they also did this limited edition beer. What is it? It's awesome.

Tommy: I think it's actually a pale ale.

Josh: Is it an IPA?

Tommy: Georgie, no, it's not an IPA.

George: It's a pale rice lager, whatever that. Yeah, just a lager.

Tommy: Malt pale rice. It tastes like a lightish pale ale. Anyway, so I'm, so I'm, um, this, this, this pair, this, this dad and his wife, you know, dad and his wife, this husband and wife couple was sitting there. They had a young kid like Bodie's age. There was like 5 or 10 kids swarming around this, um, what do you call it, like a machine that has a clamp that comes down and tries to grab toys, like the skill tester?

Josh: Yeah, claw toy might be it. It's, yeah, it's like the, um Yeah, you see it a lot at the cinemas or things like that, or it goes in a Pixar film.

Tommy: Usually they're con jobs and they don't grab tight.

George: Yeah.

Tommy: And these young girls are getting into it, and then I— Bodhi wanted a coin and Mum gave him 2 bucks, and then he went over. I— he, he likes to give me a shot. He really thinks I can do it. And so he did it, couldn't get one. I did it, it went down, grabbed, lifted, dropped. I'm like, this is a con. This is fucking rigged. Rigged. Absolutely rigged. And the—

Josh: It's sounding like Donald Trump.

Tommy: All the girls around me are like, yeah, it's rigged. It definitely is rigged. It just doesn't— Anyway, fraud. Got another $2, lost it. Then we're sitting down. And so the guy who I high-fived and his wife, his little kid had run off.

Josh: Why did you high-five?

Tommy: I'll get there. Okay. This— the kid, you just see this little kid running. Ah, I won! I won! The little fuck had taken a dollar off dad, put it in, just randomly just pressed it.

Josh: No skill.

Tommy: No skill. And got it. Got this sort of yellow fluffy thing. And then he anyway ran back to the parents. The dad I high-fived on the way out because we got a bit of banter because everyone in the pub was like, no one wins those fucking things. This kid, lucky, lucky. And so we walked, we had a little chat before I left, and then he just like put up his hand And I was just like, oh, he wants a high five. And I just slapped his hand. I don't know why, but he's just—

Josh: What a way to start a clusterfuck.

Tommy: I know. High fiving at the Templestowe Motel.

Josh: Just around the arcade machines.

Tommy: I checked in though at the pub. It's all good.

Josh: Facebook?

Tommy: No, no, no. In fact, can you cheque in now, George, on social media?

Josh: Do you use—

George: No, no, no, I don't use that.

Tommy: So can you tell us, George, expert head chef, um, barbecue— but what did I call him? A, um, the barbecue head of barbecues at BMC. Uh, tell me, what's your, your next sort of steps in this barbecue?

George: Well, I reckon these are going really well. I'll probably take the onions off in about 7 minutes, and the cutlets can go on. They'll probably need, uh, 3 minutes each side.

Tommy: Yeah, that's my boy. That's my boy. We've hired well.

Josh: You don't even have a timer or anything like that. People, it's— you're creating a lot of buzz. I can see people on the street, they can smell it.

George: Yeah.

Tommy: Um, George, are you, are you a chef that pricks his sausages?

George: Well, this is the thing, TJ, TJ gave me like a tray and a bunch of tools, and so I'm pretty excited, Josh, because I do have a Yeah, I've got a thermometer which I'll use.

Josh: That's for you for COVID.

Tommy: You'll need to put that in your bum hole. That's for your bum.

George: So I'll do that. I've also got one of these long skewers.

Josh: I guess those skewers are actually for— so shish kebab. Yeah, well, yeah, it's like for the like—

Tommy: pretty amazing.

Josh: My school principal called them kebabs.

Tommy: I don't know if it was. I feel like she would call it kebabs.

Jess: Absolutely not.

Tommy: No, no, good.

Josh: I think like the, you know, the ones that are the, on the, on the stage.

Tommy: Capsicum green one and then a bit of meat and then some yellow one and fucking so on.

Josh: I, um, so I moved yesterday as I, as I spoke on the show.

Tommy: Your back's right?

Josh: Your back's fine? I'm fine, I'm fine. But there were two—

Tommy: Can we turn the sizzle off?

Josh: Sorry, sorry, George, it's too much. Um, the, uh, we, we got to a point where we were, um, sort of, we, we had Man with the Van helping us They were great. Really good, really good service. But we felt like as we were going, we're like, oh, you don't have to take that. We'll take this one or whatever, like into our car where we should have just said, yeah, take— like we'd put stuff aside like pot plants or things like that. And we'd said, oh, don't— like, don't bother taking them. Like, are you sure?

Tommy: We did that a couple of times.

Josh: And it's not worth doing. Like, better off just getting them to take it. Anyway. Exactly. We ended up with two massive boxes. And Bri said, what are you— What are we going to do? Like, these are too heavy. We don't have a trolley. Anyway, I'm like, okay, well, I'll just take smaller stuff. I said, maybe I can go to Bunnings and I'll buy one. She's like, that seems ridiculous for just 2 boxes.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: Anyway, I go downstairs and I put a few cushions and stuff that we had into our car. And as I was walking, I saw someone's cage because in the garage there's cages. Everyone's got their own cage at the apartment block.

Tommy: Yeah. Yeah.

Josh: And next to the cage, sort of pushed into the cage was a trolley.

Tommy: Oh, great. Fuck.

Josh: And so I took the— It was someone's trolley.

Tommy: And when you say trolley, it's not a Coles trolley.

Josh: No, no, no, no.

Tommy: It's like a removalist's trolley that has just a little sort of lip at the bottom that you can— Yeah, I saw that when I came to your place.

Josh: I was like, I couldn't believe myself. I take his trolley, this guy's trolley. I know, I know who it is, but like, we don't like talk or anything. Like, they're neighbours. What do you expect in a city? I'm sure some people do. But anyway, so I took the trolley and I came upstairs. I said, babe, I took this trolley. I was so blown away by myself. And like, even Bree was too. Like, we just couldn't believe what I was— what I would do when a baby's against a wall and needs to lift something, what he'll do. And so I just— and the thing was, as I was doing it, one of the wheels, like, was— didn't have much air in them. And so it was like a little bit funny, but it worked perfectly. And I was just really proud of myself. I thought that was a classic Tommy Jackett move. It reminded me of Starbucks. In Los Angeles when Bri and I had protein frappés and we tasted them like, oh, this tastes like shit. And you just went up and just returned and said, guys, these don't taste good.

Tommy: Well, I tasted them and we were in America, and America are all about customer service, and they tasted like shit. Yeah, and they gave you brand new ones. Um, George, can we cut to George? Uh, you said the same thing yesterday. You're like, I pulled a Tommy Jacket.

George: I did. You'd love this, Josh. So we got—

Josh: He really sounds like he's doing a live, "You'd love this, Joshie." Jess, you can just stay on our shot with the—

George: "You'd love this, Joshie." "You would love this, Josh." "Get this, Josh." It might give you mild anxiety though, with what I'm about to say. But so, you know, the other— last week we bought 3 packs of chewing gum and they were all gone in like 2 days. It was outrageous. So I said to Tommy, I said, "Oh, have we eaten all the chewing gum?" "Oh mate, that's the second time you've asked." "Yeah, bloody course we have." Well, I'll just preface at the start, you said we bought.

Tommy: Fucking we bought. Josh and I bought.

George: And so I went and got lunch and I was like, oh, just pop into this old Bottle-O and see if they've got any chewing gum. So I went in there and they had some gum and it was out of date by like 3 days. And so I just said to the lady, I said, are you going to throw this out? I said, oh, I don't know. And I was like, can I have it? And so she gave me free gum.

Tommy: Oh, she gave you gum? Yeah.

Josh: And so now you've been shitting for 4 days? What's the— what flavour is it?

George: It's just the mint, just the plain extra little touch.

Josh: What does it taste like?

George: Mint. It's a little bit hard, but—

Josh: oh, that's okay.

Tommy: He, um, so he rocked in yesterday and said that I pulled a Tommy Jacket into true Tommy Jacket form, I fucking denied anything that was about to come out of his mouth. Absolutely not, mate.

Josh: That was a very Tommy Jacket thing to do.

Tommy: Well, I did say that, like, I'm, I'm, I, I will ask a few questions that will lead you down that path. And so him saying, which it is Tommy Jacket to say, are you throwing this out? It's like, yeah, well, then it puts him in a place of like, if they say yes, it's like, then you say, well, can I have it? Because if they are, now it's exactly what I do. I've been trying to deny it this whole time. It's exactly what I do. And I would take that fucking trolley.

Josh: Yeah, well, what's been another Tommy Jacket thing that you've done, Tommy?

Tommy: It's a good point. The thing with, um, not— it's, it's hard to know because it's just me. What have I done? Let me just think about what I've done recently, recently, recently.

Josh: Um, oh, at the bank, I feel like there was probably opportunities where you could have Just saying things are silly.

Tommy: Well, is it, is it relating to free stuff or is it like—

Josh: I think it's just in general, just confidence, just going in.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Look, it's all that came to mind was a guy that, our next door neighbour who is selling the house has noticed that I've been, I've probably been noisy enough and made it clear that I like to have fires in the backyard. And so he's gone out of his way to come and tell me that he's got firewood for me. Oh, great. And so if you— if we're just talking about Tommy Jack, the law of attraction, which is Tommy Jack.

Josh: Yeah, I fucking told you. Yeah. So did you— did you know that he had firewood? Because you haven't mentioned the fires to us, so maybe you know that we don't have wood.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, look, no, I didn't tell him, but I just feel like that kind of shit happens. Lots of Things like that happen to me a lot, but it's probably because I am vocal about it. Like, for instance, neighbours and stuff, like, become friends with my neighbour Xavier. He's got a young kid, little Phoenix, who's, you know, a couple years older than Bodhi. But I went straight up to him, like, a sort of like— I'd like to eye contact a couple of times. I just sort of ease them in. Yeah, loosen them up, and then Third time, just straight over. Hey mate. And just chatting, chatting, chatting. Kids, take Bodhi over there. And the thing is, at that point, Amy says, literally it would be months before I say anything. Yeah, months.

Josh: Bree's very— so this, the awkward thing is that Bree knows most people in our building. I don't know anyone. I don't know if that's a bad look or not, but I feel like if if it was just Bray, should be having some sort of going away event. But it's like, seems weird having some sort of going away party and meeting the person for the first time, which is me.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: Jess, have you pulled a Tommy Jacket?

Jess: I don't think so. I'm too shy with that kind of stuff. I couldn't go up to someone and say what GB did.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: Ask it for free. Surely you like it. I mean, you're good. You're good from a business sense. Asking, you know, you give me guidance on, you know, uh, asking people, this is what we're paying you. Like, I feel like—

Jess: because that, that conversation can be had. Like, it's something that you can have that conversation, like, negotiate the fee with.

Josh: But you know, they say also, don't they say that women are better at like, uh, helping other people, so they're better for advocating for others, whereas men are better at like looking at our own interests? And so for me, I was doing the trolley because it was saving my ass.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I get it.

Josh: You know, like Jess, maybe you were good in the business sense because you're helping all of us.

Jess: Yeah. I'm actually thinking back to when I was in China and I went to the silk markets. I was so good at negotiating there. I got so many good deals.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: Did you?

Tommy: Did you really? Stupid Australian.

Jess: I got a really good Burberry jacket.

Josh: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Are you wearing— is that the one you're wearing?

Tommy: The only problem, it's actually— she got it home and read the tag, it said blueberry.

Josh: This little blueberry jacket cutie. How's it looking, George?

George: Really good, guys. Uh, sausages are pretty much off, and then I'll just quickly do the cutlets.

Tommy: We've also got both sides done.

George: Yep. We've also got a nice leafy salad to go with it.

Josh: Oh, really nice. Herbs, any herbs?

Tommy: Herbs. And Bree left a— so no herbs. Bree left a lemon in the office.

Josh: Oh yeah.

Tommy: We've got some olive oil. Olive oil, lemon, salt, dressing. It's done.

Jess: Wait, do we have, you need to stop that. Do we have tomato sauce?

Josh: Yeah, I can see it in the background.

Jess: Great.

George: Got tomato sauce and mustard.

Jess: So I also have some spinach here. We can make a cute little salad.

Tommy: That's great.

Josh: Oh yeah.

Tommy: Well, our mixed leaf has spinach in it. So Jess is trying to offload her spinach. It's gonna go rotten before. She gets back next Monday.

Jess: It'd only be spinach and tomatoes. Yeah.

Josh: How do you know when to— Yeah, yeah, GB.

George: Oh, sorry, I was gonna say, would you put the cutlets on the grill side or the flat side?

Tommy: Oh, I mean, when I have a grill, I go grill.

Josh: There's a bit of rust on it though, isn't there?

Tommy: Okay, now I would go— No, it's okay, it's fine. Go the grill side. Have you coated them in oil?

George: Yeah, yeah, I'll put more on.

Tommy: Yeah, look, You can always go the first side, and if it somehow flames up, that's your problem. You sort it out.

Jess: So there's a few people in the chat that are in the area and want to come around.

Tommy: Really? Who are they? Let's screen them.

Josh: Who have we got?

Jess: So we've got Calvin White.

Josh: Great. Yeah, come on.

Jess: Campbell has just said, surely we need Dib to lead the way. Hashtag King of Cooking.

Josh: Yeah, Dib would be great.

Tommy: True. He could do Burger Day.

Jess: I saw another one. And where is it? Harry Johnson.

Josh: Yeah, Harry can come in. He gave the ushees.

Jess: Hey guys, free barbecue for a Gronk in the area.

Josh: Oh yeah, definitely, mate. Just follow the onions.

Tommy: Mate, look, if you just rock up, if we just have people starting to rock up at our office, I've got no problem with that.

Jess: We're eating first and then you guys can take the rest.

Josh: Yeah, yeah. Can I also just say, moving, I feel the pressure to turn George down for one.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah.

Josh: You're just pissing me off, George. But also, to have the removalist like me.

Tommy: Yeah, well, you don't want them— they're dealing with your personal shit. You don't want to just, you know, putting a pin in something or fucking around.

Josh: And so I was proud of myself. I got them coffee. I did.

Tommy: That's nice. I've got my guys coffee too.

Josh: That's nice, isn't it? It's like a— it almost feels like you're on a shoot or something.

Tommy: I had— we had some IKEA guys drop off some furniture here today.

Josh: And you got them coffee?

Tommy: I was about to offer him a Coke Zero.

Josh: Okay.

Tommy: Yeah, but they weren't cold enough.

Josh: Okay. So it would have seemed like a slap in the face.

Tommy: Yeah. Yeah, it would have.

Josh: Yeah. But it was great. Like, I got the coffee and latte the guy wanted. Oh, and yeah.

George: Oh, latte.

Tommy: It's $19.50.

Josh: And so, no, but that was great. And then the other thing I did that I was proud of, we went to a storage unit and in the storage units they have a lift where you can take stuff, like you'd load it up and then you put it up because, you know, your storage cage isn't on ground level. Anyway, as we were arriving, there were some guys using, using it, and, uh, Bree said, oh, um, can we just use that, uh, next? And the guy said, yeah, we'll just do one more, uh, round and then you can have it. And, uh, as our guys were starting to unload our stuff, I'm like, These guys are going to be ages. So I just went up, said, oh guys, we're only going to be a couple— another Tommy Jacket movie. So we're only going to be a few minutes. Went in the panic, I pressed the wrong button. Fuck to the lift. They had to get someone to fix it, but at least it stopped everyone for a moment.

Tommy: That's good. Anyway, one last thing. So this is nice having a barbecue.

Josh: Is everyone having fun? You having fun, George?

Tommy: Are you having fun?

George: This is nice.

Jess: Yep.

George: Loving it.

Tommy: The team, you know, we're getting sort of back into the year, more people in our business as it grows, which also comes with, you know, more expenditure to the business. And as you know, I like to think about the numbers when it comes to spending. I said to George this morning, I said, mate, fucking getting expensive, all this stuff, isn't it? But I like doing it.

Jess: You were the one who wanted the cutlets specifically.

Tommy: I said it's for the culture.

Josh: And also it can be a write-off because we're doing a show about the fucking Cutlass.

Tommy: But George, I bought a slab of Coke Zero mainly for Josh. I will drink them.

Josh: Yeah, thank you.

Tommy: But then I was— then George, you were sort of pointing out that like the stat— as this— as the sort of bar raises, it's—

Jess: it—

Tommy: people get complacent of what it is. And so George, you were saying about working in sort of big agencies Yeah, yeah.

George: Well, I was saying to Tommy, I was like, oh, wait till it gets to the point where we're complaining because there's no Coke Zero.

Josh: It's so true though.

Tommy: And then fucking barbecue, mate, where are the cutlets? It's fucking 11.

Josh: Yeah, yeah. Oh, it gets really like— I mean, I've worked at a company where it got really, really bad, right? The expectations go through the roof.

Tommy: So if you were— if you work for a business and you've got some sort of expectation of that business, just remember there was a guy like me fucking worried about how much was being spent.

Josh: That's what I even think about, like, when it comes to removalists and shit. You just think about like how easy we have it compared to what they're doing. It's like, you know, like, oh, oh, they charged us for their lunch break. And then we're like, look, we get paid a lot more just to hold a camera.

Tommy: And I mean, George was walking around the office saying, how's this being work? This is actually Work.

Josh: That's good. It's good to keep grateful, you know.

Tommy: Yeah, keep grateful, guys.

Josh: So, but we do barbecue cam again.

Tommy: I reckon, I reckon so. I want, this is what I envisage. I envisage chefs, different cuisines. Yeah. Like it could be fully catered by Brands and Jess.

Josh: And could we get into a Nando's kitchen?

Tommy: That would be sick. Or we could have the Nando's head chef come here. We know the winner of the— No, no, no. We know the winner too. Yeah, we know. We've got a contact at Nando's that looks after sort of spearheading the flavours and all of the design of the meals. Comes up with the names and the stuff. So maybe we could get them out here. But if you're a chef, if you sort of, have a small business and want to just get involved and have a bit of fun. Yeah, we'd be, we'd be up for having you in, cater the team. As in, would love to have you for the team. We'll sort the rest out.

Josh: All right, uh, uh, JB, let's go. Have you got, uh, roll, like, uh, bread for the—

Tommy: Yeah, we've got some.

George: Yeah, just got some bread, just some, uh, multigrain.

Josh: All right, perfect. Do we really have multigrain?

Tommy: I don't know, I said, I said we're all doing doing carb-free, and George is like, we've got to get some bread. Okay, so I'm just looking forward to, um, just some cutlets. Yeah, yeah, he's got, he's got Wonder White.

Josh: I'm so, I'm so happy with how— and, uh, also let us know, do you think that I've actually stripped the paint off the Weber, or is it meant to be silver inside? Let us know. hi@thedailytalkshow.com. Also, thank you, Bearded Fan, for your email about struggling when it comes to moving. Yeah, it's bullshit. It's a pain in the ass.

Tommy: And you don't stop hearing about it too.

Josh: Enjoy your Friday, guys, and we'll see you Monday.

Tommy: See you guys.
