What Should We Do For Episode 1000?

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

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

Mason: Say hi, guys. Hi, guys.

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

Josh: It is outrageous.

Tommy: Come on, let's go. It's The Daily Talk Show, episode 982.

Josh: Happy Thursday, everybody. What's happening?

Tommy: When I was walking into work earlier, had a guy chase after me.

Josh: No, what did you steal?

Tommy: Nothing. I was walking along Chapel Street.

Josh: What did you drop?

Tommy: That's what I thought. He tapped me, like chased me and tapped me on the back.

Josh: Better than tackle.

Mason: Yeah.

Tommy: What do you like, what do you think it could be?

Josh: God, you've left something or you've left. I mean, you don't really use a card. You're a You're a touch guy. I don't know. Change? Leftover change? Or you forgot your coffee? You bought a coffee and you forgot it.

Tommy: No, I hadn't been. I was literally just walking down the street and a guy stops me. I take my headphones out. He seems excited.

Josh: It's John from the Daily Talk Show.

Tommy: My first impression was I'm like, he's seen the D'Avella video. And he's like, I think he's French. Pointing at my shirt, my t-shirt. And I was like, oh, you want to know about my t-shirt? Homie, it's a, it's a great brand, supports, uh, homeless people who are homeless. Yeah. And, uh, it wasn't that. What he was asking was about my cologne.

Mason: Oh wow.

Tommy: He's like, that's okay, what's your, what's your cologne?

Josh: I mean, I can't even smell. How did he get so close to you that he could smell? Was it fresh? Because I can't smell it.

Tommy: I guess, yeah, it was within 10 minutes of leaving home.

Josh: Were you with Bree?

Tommy: No.

Josh: So, you've used Bree's deodorant?

Tommy: No, it was my cologne. Bree got me some cologne.

Josh: The same one?

Tommy: I don't know. So, it's not—

Josh: But the same vibe?

Tommy: Yes.

Josh: That woody, that sort of earthy.

Tommy: Exactly.

Josh: And they're quite distinct. Like, they do make people run after you. But usually you're a creep if you are that person running. Like, I've wanted to ask some women what their perfume is because I'm like, I really like that.

Tommy: I want to buy it for my wife. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Josh: But I don't, I don't chase anyone down. I don't chase anyone down and tap on their shoulders. But this guy did. And so, French man, did you, did you kiss it? Did you say, darling, darling, darling?

Tommy: No, I, I was, I straight away thought, look, this is going to sound pathetic, but I have no idea.

Josh: Yeah, bought it. Gotta buy it for me.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah. And so I called Bray. On the spot. Yeah. I'm like, sorry for the delay. Hang on. Just calling. Oh no.

Josh: What was he doing?

Tommy: He was just waiting as I'm like, because he was very keen and he was saying, oh, 302, like he was saying this perfume or like cologne. I didn't, I didn't know which.

Josh: So he had a, he had an idea of what it was.

Tommy: But so I started thinking, why does— I should have said, why do you want to know? Like, I went down this real rabbit hole where it's like, maybe. So I went from Oh, he thinks I smell good. To maybe he's involved in a criminal case and they smelt a perfume on someone and he couldn't, he didn't know what it was.

Josh: That is fair. That is fair. It's amazing how smell triggers memories, especially scents, perfumes, you know, bring back your 21-year-old girlfriend that you had.

Tommy: Yes.

Josh: Or a nightclub experience where just, you know, someone walked in. Drenched in it. Yeah, dude.

Tommy: Does Amy wear perfume?

Josh: She's got a range, but I couldn't tell you what they're called, any of them. But I know she's just got like a favourite. Yeah, yeah. 3, there's probably like 3 of them. There's definitely one, this purplish bottle. She used to wear Stella, was really good. Doesn't have that anymore. But yeah, definitely. Did you hear about these, this Spy Syndicate? That's been taken down in Australia.

Tommy: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I saw the headlines. I don't quite understand what it means.

Josh: Yeah. I mean, but just the thought of spies living in the country trying to collect information through government sources, you know, they're making, becoming friends with police units. It's just like, that blows my mind. They haven't released who it is or what country it is that they've said. It's almost like the royals. It's like, it wasn't the Queen that made the racist remarks. That's all we're going to say. What they've come— ASIO have said it wasn't China.

Tommy: Oh, really?

Josh: So, they've actually said wasn't China because of the heat with China at the moment. But, dude. So, I'm just in terms of, you know, that person might be—

Tommy: It seemed connected to some anti-terror stuff as well. That's what I found.

Josh: ASIO, you know, the anti-terror stuff. But this was specifically around spies, a spy ring. Imagine being a spy, dude.

Tommy: Yeah. Well, the university lecturer Who, she was visiting Iran, got held in prison for 18 months, 2 years or whatever.

Josh: They thought she was a spy.

Tommy: Her husband was an Israeli. And so, that apparently that's why they detained her. They thought that she was a spy.

Josh: Is this the one whose husband then cheated on her?

Tommy: Yeah. Not a good— She said it was worse than being in the Iranian prison, which is not really what you want to hear.

Josh: What, the cheating moment? Did she find out while she was in prison?

Tommy: No, no. She was at quarantine with her mum in Sydney and saying, you've got to tell me, why haven't— why is it— is John my husband? Not like, why haven't I seen him? Dude, it's not good. But anyway, the spies.

Josh: Yeah, the spies that pulled you over today.

Tommy: No. So, they want it. They— they wanted her to become a spy. Iran, like they were saying, hey, like, how about you become a double agent?

Josh: Double agent.

Tommy: The king thinking that she's a spy. It's like, well, okay, you come and spy on the Australians. Interesting, isn't it? Spies in general.

Josh: Well, I mean, you're living a life of lie because every moment you're having to, you're assuming an identity that isn't your own. So therefore, you are lying, even if you just decide your name's Kevin. And you're a, um, you work at a fruit shop.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: And then, you know, you're getting in that way.

Mason: Yeah.

Josh: You're still going to lie. It's not what you want to do.

Tommy: Makes me think of the FBI. You know, Dave Ramsey, the financial guy, sort of the barefoot investor of the US. Spy?

Josh: No, no.

Tommy: But he said, I was watching a video, he said it's harder to get in to work with us, harder to work with us than it is to get into the FBI.

Mason: Really?

Tommy: 10 interviews, you reckon?

Josh: Slightly different size business. Like, one's a government agency.

Tommy: It's just harder based on scale. It's actually harder to get into our business than it is to Dave Ramsey's, just based on how many people we're employing and what we can afford.

Josh: Yeah, more so. That is bizarre. That is bizarre. And so this man, how did it end other than, you know, the hug and the best wishes, the perfume stuff? So you got onto Bree. And she's told you? Could she even tell you?

Tommy: Yeah, she had to go find them. It was quite the—

Josh: And what did you— How much context did you say, Bree?

Tommy: I said, have a go again. Yeah, I just said, guys just stopped me.

Josh: You said that in front of her?

Tommy: Yeah, guys just stopped me. He wants to know what my cologne is. Can you? She's like, okay, yeah.

Josh: She's thinking, this is bullshit.

Tommy: It was a great, like, it made my day a bit better because the thing is, the way that I took it was He saw me and said, I want whatever he's got.

Josh: Fair.

Tommy: Which, that's quite a nice sort of thought, isn't it?

Josh: Well, it's nice to think that people want what you have.

Tommy: Like, maybe it wasn't just the smell. Maybe it was just my whole aura.

Josh: Did he ask for your number?

Tommy: No, no, no. And so, I gave him mine.

Josh: So, he said, yeah, great. Thank you.

Tommy: And yeah. And then walked off. Yeah.

Josh: Ciao.

Tommy: I wish that I'd known. The, like, what it was, so I didn't have to do the whole call-up thing. But there are friends—

Josh: Can you tell me right now what it is? No.

Mason: Fuck.

Tommy: I don't remember that stuff. It takes a lot, like, it would take 6 times and then I would have to also create some sort of memory game.

Josh: Can you get your phone out, call Bree, say, "A man has stopped me again." Say it and let's find out.

Tommy: Let's find out what the— Should we find out what the perfume is?

Josh: But just say, do the whole call again. "A man stopped me." And I need to know.

Tommy: Again?

Josh: Again.

Tommy: Is it a bit silly?

Josh: No, it's silly. It's silly, but it's fun. She's probably in the middle.

Tommy: Hello. Hello. Sorry, someone stopped me again asking about the cologne. What cologne is it that I've got?

Mason: Are you joking?

Tommy: No, it's ridiculous. Two in one day.

Mason: How much did you put on today?

Tommy: Not that much.

Mason: Oh my God.

Tommy: What's it called?

Mason: Wonderwood.

Tommy: Wonderwood.

Mason: I think it's Comme des Garçons is how you say it.

Tommy: Comme des Garçons. It's from Mecca. What number is it?

Mason: I don't know. Do you want me to take a picture of it for you?

Tommy: Yeah, thank you.

Mason: Right.

Josh: Love you.

Mason: I love you.

Tommy: Bye.

Josh: Is that how it went?

Tommy: Yeah. She didn't ask how much.

Josh: So, that guy walked around with— He got no answer.

Tommy: No, she said the number last time.

Josh: She must have had to think that she's gotten over doing that. Can I call Bree and say, hey, someone stop me asking what Josh has been—

Tommy: No, you'll piss her off.

Mason: We don't want to—

Tommy: blow up. But, um, yeah, it's not like, um, you're not much of a perfume guy.

Josh: No, I've got my Dior Homme, which I use. But yeah, it's, it's, it does, it's not stopping French men in the street.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, I'm, I'm rapt about it. It did make my day. Wonderwood. You're feeling really good at the moment about your neck.

Josh: When, well, yesterday I said, um, I can't remember what came first, the compliment about my neck from Jess just that I've shaved it and it's looking great, or me stating that my neck looks great. Like, you know, sometimes you drop a little hint to get a compliment. Can't remember, though.

Tommy: So, what did you say? So, you said something to Jess, did you?

Josh: I was saying something about how, you know, to feel when you're feeling a bit shit, your appearance, not that it's everything and not that it's for other people, it's for yourself. You do something like shave your neck. You shave your neck because you want to—

Tommy: It's going to change the way you feel.

Josh: Brush your teeth. Put a suit on.

Tommy: I'd brush your teeth.

Josh: I'd never do that. I'd never do that. But like dressing up, you know, like work ready. Jeans over shorts.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: There's something slobby about shorts.

Tommy: Well, see, this is the thing. I think that—

Josh: But actually there's something— I'm wearing shorts right now.

Tommy: Well, you said to me yesterday, you're like, what about you shave your neck and put some jeans on and—

Josh: No, it was in the context of this. Talk of saying, but I don't feel like you— that there is a visceral change that can happen when you are smartening up. And then Jess is like, oh, get a wing. Or yeah, you know, do— uh, she was saying her eyebrows. Yeah, get my eyebrows waxed, I feel a million bucks. So it's about— and I was trying to say, and I think you've always pushed back on it because you're like, optics that other people have, I didn't give a fuck of.

Tommy: No, well, the—

Josh: but it's not the person, like the person and the feeling that they have themselves.

Tommy: But the thing I feel like whenever you get a haircut, when you come in, the first thing you'll say is, you should get a haircut. No, it's very common.

Josh: I mean, you need a haircut.

Tommy: Yeah, well, I do, I do. There's no, no doubt. But I think that that's like, that's an unconscious thing that you do.

Josh: Maybe it's like, no, I think it's because I'm feeling great. It's like feeling fresh as fuck. And so, that's the point. Fresh as fuck. And there's no doubt. It's like saying, go for a walk. You will feel better probably after a walk. Most people. That's your— you're the, you're the, you're the walker preacher.

Tommy: Yeah, I like a walk.

Josh: And so I see what happens, you know, when, when you live by the sword, die by the sword.

Tommy: Well, there's an article that a mate sent. Sorry, just throat issues still, guys.

Josh: The, uh, is that actual throat issues or you just choked on water?

Tommy: I've having issues with my Right. Uh, got a message. Uh, slow walkers could be nearly 4 times more likely to die from COVID study suggests.

Josh: How slow are we walking?

Tommy: Well, the question is why.

Josh: Is it that walking fast, the—

Tommy: So, people who walk slow and are a normal weight could be almost 2.5 times more likely to develop severe COVID-19 and 3.75 times more likely to die from the virus than normal weight fast walkers.

Josh: So, if you're normal weight, are they saying that if you're normal weight, I don't know what that is, just not technically obese.

Mason: Yeah.

Josh: And you're walking slow, it's like you just, hey, lazy guy, walk faster.

Tommy: I was wondering whether it's just that you're passing people slower.

Josh: Yeah, that is crazy. I mean, this This is where it's like the 6 meals a day people.

Tommy: Yes.

Josh: There's more consideration of your food eating 6 meals a day. Have you tried eating 6 meals a day? Pain in the ass. So then you're like, you don't want to eat shit for 6 meals because you're over it by the first one. And so, yeah, I mean, it's a loose statistic that people who eat 6 meals a day lose more weight or put more muscle mass on.

Tommy: Yesterday you spoke about the surprise for Amy.

Mason: Oh yeah.

Josh: A, uh, her best friend flew down from Sydney, had to lie to her all day. It, um, was exactly what I thought. She thought that I was just being a dick, evading the conversation, because I was. I was like trying not to answer. Yeah, she's like, what was going on? Fully confused that I was just being so shit. But the surprise worked. You were in on it. Yeah, everyone was in on it.

Tommy: You got the camcorders on it.

Josh: George was making small talk downstairs. While bringing Amy up, camcorders. Oh, it's going to be a great video. It's going to be fun.

Tommy: And so what did you— so tell us, what was the reaction like?

Josh: Tears. Not, not as like, oh my God, like holding, embracing, crying, which is nice. It was a great, you know, that's when the—

Tommy: When was the last time they saw each other?

Josh: Oh, over a year because of COVID hit. So pre-COVID. Pre-COVID. So that would have been December 2019. That's a long time. Yeah, December 2019, um, that Christmas. Yeah, it's a long time. And so first time that's, you know, he was going to come down in January and then the bloody borders closed again. Well, the lockdown happened, like so many little things like that happen, but we got there. Does Bodhi get the excitement He was more pumped up about going for dinner. Yeah, but he, but he knew who he was, which is nice. He's Uncle Ryan. But he saw, you know, have you seen— you saw the surprise of Bodhi for his birthday when we had a surprise party?

Tommy: He lost it.

Josh: Well, I think he does, but in the moment there's a lot of attention and kids, you know, like they feel like every— everyone's looking at— they are looking at you, but you feel like you need to shut off and so you close your eyes, that kind of stuff.

Tommy: Like, well, you're just trying to process it, aren't you?

Josh: Well, yeah, it feels like if you close your eyes, the world's the world's not there because it's— then you're in your head.

Mason: Yeah.

Josh: Um, but mate, we won. I won the skill tester last night.

Tommy: How many dollars did you spend?

Josh: $5 note went in third, third time. Bodhi went first.

Tommy: What did you get? I went third.

Josh: This stupid little teddy.

Tommy: Well, you were aiming for it.

Josh: Yeah, because I was like, it's the one that I'll get if I like— that's most likely. Plan B, dude. It is silly. But he called it Frank. And he's like, I don't really like this, Daddy.

Tommy: Oh, really?

Josh: Like, mate, I won it. Imagine if I went something that he wanted, but I couldn't win it. Like his Spider-Man toy that was in there, couldn't get it.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: It seemed too hard.

Tommy: What do you think the cost of the Spider-Man toy recommended retail price would be?

Josh: Oh, $6.95 from Kmart. Really? No, they're just crappy toys. They're just crappy little This is the thing.

Tommy: It's a scam.

Mason: Well.

Tommy: Have you thought about just buying a stuffed toy, going up to the machine and saying to, like, whilst Bodhi's distracted, come out and say, look what I won.

Josh: Well, he would love that. But I like the storey that we got something, that we won something, because there would be no storey if we played the skill tester, won nothing.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: Nothing, nothing good. Whereas we got this stupid teddy bear that he's called Frank. And it's— And he doesn't like it. He wanted to actually give it away.

Tommy: Is it a— Was it at a pub?

Josh: Pub, yeah.

Tommy: Does the pub own the machines, do you think?

Josh: I'm sure they're just leasing some space, you'd think.

Tommy: Yeah, I wonder who it is that's filling it up, whether they literally just go to Kmart, buy whatever's on sale and put it in.

Josh: It's a good point. Where do they actually come from? Is there a business that just— Skill Services, Skill Tester Machines.

Tommy: I wonder what, like, to buy one.

Josh: Is this like buying a multi-pack of Maxibons and you can't sell them? Individually. You know, is that like—

Tommy: Skill tester machine.

Josh: Surely skill tester companies are in with some suppliers and they say, we need to kit out a machine with 30 toys.

Tommy: This is sick. eBay, arcade skill testers. You can buy one. Oh my God. You can get the Chocolate Factory skill tester, the one where the chocolate lands in front of a, like this block that moves, pushes it forth.

Josh: And the idea you want to get as many lollies In front of the block that's pushing.

Tommy: How much would you pay for one?

Josh: I mean, if I was going to just spend, like I had a Rumpus Room or something, I'd only want to spend $250.

Tommy: $1,300 for this one. But there is one for $250. One bid. It's got a day and an hour left. It's called the Clean Sweep. Looks like what you would have used last night. But it is fun. Like, if you had the space.

Josh: Well, if you had a— Imagine having like a theatre room and there was a little room outside of that and it's got a popcorn machine. Well, Dave Lee, who came on the show, he said he bought a popcorn machine. They didn't use it. It's a pain in the arse.

Tommy: Yeah. What other things are commercial grade that you would love in your house?

Josh: Well, cinemas is the go-to, like a cinema chair.

Mason: Yeah.

Josh: Like if you can get a reclining cinema chair, that'd be sick. My mate's got one of these skill— not the skill testers, like Street Fighter. It was always— there's something about seeing in a house a pinball machine.

Tommy: Yes.

Josh: Or a Daytona USA driving machine.

Tommy: Oh, that's sick.

Josh: Like there's something about saying that that's like, wow.

Tommy: So, yeah, this person is doing an upright Street Fighter arcade machine. With 3,500 games is currently at $1,800.

Josh: No one needs 3,500 games.

Tommy: Who does? I nearly tried to negotiate with a guy to buy a karaoke machine.

Josh: What's— What is it? What is a karaoke machine other than a mic?

Tommy: Like a proper karaoke machine. Like, imagine like an arcade.

Mason: Yeah.

Tommy: And he had like 20,000 songs. And it was— I just remember I was so excited. Just— And Yeah, I remember trying to buy one. What do you reckon? A cario— Like a commercial karaoke?

Josh: I can't even tell you what a cario— What does it do? Like, how is it? You stand in it?

Tommy: Mum got it for her 40th.

Mason: No, no, no.

Tommy: Mum got it for her 40th. It literally looks like an arcade machine, but it has like an up and down button. It has a microphone plugged in. It has a speaker and has a screen. And you have all the songs and you can tap, tap, tap, tap, tap through the song that you want, click it and it plays. Karaoke machine. I'm going to write arcade.

Josh: Do you know that karaoke nights you get some sort of interesting characters coming to, like, the regular karaoke heads? There was a guy in Shepparton when I lived there, you'd go to the GV Hotel and he was, he was unique, but he, and he was absolutely, he smashed it. Like, he gave it everything every time he went up, and he was known around the town as being quite good. Well, that got— well, I mean, the thing about karaoke, I don't think it's— if you're a good singer, I don't think it's like necessary that you're going to be the best. The person who's out there and, you know, like the flamboyant or can move their body a bit, just gets a bit, you know, gets right into the Yeah, fake guitar in the hand, you know, that kind of shit that wins it for me.

Tommy: Yeah, I remember being, I think it was in Croatia, and having a drive, like an Uber driver who had, he had like an i30 or whatever, and he'd replaced the dash with a big screen. Really? It played any YouTube video that you wanted. I remember being like, I want that mod. Like, you don't see that In Australia, you don't see people— Croatia. Yeah.

Josh: Do you reckon their laws are pretty lax about what you can do?

Tommy: Yeah, but it was just like, yeah, it's all easy. Like, you just have to take the whole dash off. And I was really thinking about it. But that's one of the things with the— Trev Long got me a dash cam.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: But I want to do the proper wiring so it works when it's parked. But I can see me Fucking it. I have to take it somewhere.

Josh: Surely you need Exhibit to pimp your ride.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: To come and fully deck it out. I love that show back in the day. Just like the crappiest car gets the best makeover, gets 17 screens inside and a PlayStation.

Tommy: Yeah.

Mason: Yeah.

Josh: To pull up at the local beach to open up the back and stand there and play PlayStation.

Tommy: But imagine what it would be now. Like what you do. So it would be like a Tesla, like a Cybertruck. And then you could have, just imagine, like, you could have 5G, like you'd be able to have a modem, like a internet.

Josh: That is good. How Pimp My Ride 2021, what that would look like. It'd be pretty epic. Because, I mean, the Tesla's epic anyway. Tesla dances. It's got dance mode.

Tommy: Think about like MTV in its prime. There were so many good shows.

Josh: The best.

Tommy: Where have they all gone? Cribs.

Josh: Yeah, Cribs. There was even like individuals had their own, like Ryan Sheckler had this show called Life of Ryan. But it's because— so Life of Ryan was almost like a vlog of a young guy who's successful. So he's a pro skater and had like a Merc and used to do burnouts in it. Like, it was wild. And he'd skate. How many, how many people on Instagram— sorry, on YouTube, they're either scooter riders, skateboarders, have lots of money, own their own house, and have this mansion where they just trash and fucking do jumps and build jumps. There's so many YouTubers, they're all on YouTube. So that's the problem. MTV is probably—

Tommy: there's a lot of stuff doing now though.

Josh: I don't even know where the originals—

Tommy: well, like back in the day it was, um, On MTV, like, you know, you'd have a cable subscription like Foxtel.

Josh: So that's the issue too, that it is no central place that Nickelodeon— you get it.

Mason: Yeah.

Tommy: Um, yeah, what is— here are all the, um, the shows. I'm trying to think of any of the— Street Party, didn't know that one.

Josh: No. Is this new shows or old shows?

Tommy: So that's music shows, new shows, reality shows. Here you go, man. They've done a lot. Viva La Bam.

Josh: That was what—

Tommy: That was Pimp My Ride. Yeah.

Josh: Yeah. Pimp My Ride, Jackass, Viva La Bam.

Tommy: Date My Mum. I Want a Famous Face. Miss Seventeen. My Super Sweet Sixteen. That was a great show. Do you remember that?

Josh: Yeah, vaguely.

Tommy: Rich kids getting parties, their 16th, and it was just ridiculous. Next. Which I think, I think was like a dating thing where you'd be saying next.

Josh: Tinder. Next.

Tommy: Yeah.

Mason: Yeah.

Tommy: There's so many good ones. I mean, like Laguna Beach is awesome. The Hills is awesome.

Josh: Think about those times, though. It was harder to make a reality show for yourself. Now everyone can have their own reality show.

Mason: Yeah.

Josh: If you've got an iPhone.

Tommy: I was so big on all of the talk shows. Jenny Jones, Maury Povich, Jerry Springer.

Josh: Jerry Springer, I know. But I mean, Jerry Springer's on Cameo nowadays.

Tommy: Yes, you should get a— get it.

Josh: Do you want me to get you a Cameo for your 40?

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, I'd love that. From Jerry Springer. We're planning that. Talking about things of the future that we're planning, episode 1000, only 18 episodes away.

Josh: Is it 18? April 7th. There is a— there is a vibe. I did think, because it's like the weekend after Easter, what if you took Good Friday and Easter Monday off, which would push it to a Friday. So it's like the end of the week, end of the week, we could have like a fun, um, you know, Jess wouldn't be here for the show if it was on the 7th.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, that's actually, that's a good idea. We should speak to Ryan Shelton. We need to work out his availability because that's, that's really important.

Josh: But Friday, arvo, fun one. I didn't like the idea.

Tommy: And so one of the things that I was thinking was What could we do? What some sort of, you know, we've done 1,000 episodes. Like, look at— I would love to, like, track the energy of the Daily Talk Show. Think about, like, probably 500 episodes ago when we're talking about what episode 1,000 would mean.

Josh: Yeah. Well, all of these things never end up. So, it's like goal setting. When you arrive, arrive, quotation marks. The feeling isn't what you thought it would be most of the time.

Mason: Yeah.

Josh: You know, it's like there's something in the beauty of not having something where you're thinking about how you can get it and what it'll all mean, which, um, is just sad, really. No, but that's why it's like Episode 2000. Like, there's something in knowing that it won't feel like you think it will, but still then just that journey, having that energy for the journey. And so what you're talking about is all that time, the energy of that thought of what it will be, will be interesting to— If we can pull on that stuff.

Tommy: So, what would you like for episode 1,000? Anything?

Josh: Anything? No, no. Let's not do it. Let's skip. Let's go from 999 to 1001.

Mason: No.

Josh: I don't know. There's something fu— This is where we need help because I feel like I am a bit sort of stumped on what to do because you end up going, well, you want to go so big. You want to do—

Tommy: What does that look like? Just start throwing out ideas.

Josh: You know, secret flight, secret flight with Qantas. You rock up one day, have, you know, fly and do a show somewhere in the country for a day, something representing the 1000. Yeah. I mean, that's always a go-to. Bit hard.

Tommy: Yeah. Go on. What else?

Josh: What else is there? The fireworks, which you pointed out, would, you know, go out with a bang.

Tommy: Yeah, I'd love to go into the thousands with a bang.

Josh: Bang.

Tommy: Yeah, like, um, getting a pyrotechnician to let off a single firework would be fun.

Josh: Just one bang, or a thousand fireworks. A thousand would be very expensive. Yeah, love fireworks, one of my favourite things. Um, anything else? I thought about a thousand centimetre, one metre. Oh yeah, a thousand centimetre subway, because you can get a metre long subways. Or metre-long pizzas? 100 centimetres.

Tommy: Yes.

Josh: So, then a 10 metre.

Tommy: Yeah, 100 centimetres is a metre.

Josh: We need something 10 metres. Go jump off the 10 metre diving board.

Mason: 1,000.

Josh: Is that right?

Tommy: 1,000? Yeah. We could do— What about— I remember it was big in Endeavour Hills where I grew up. The— I think we did the world's longest banana split. And it's funny. How long is it? Yeah, well, you just imagine—

Josh: Banana can only be so big, right?

Tommy: Yeah, no, but it's— So, this is the thing. When you think about the world's largest banana split, Split.

Mason: Yeah.

Tommy: It's never going to look what you think. Like, I imagined, like, imagine the Big Banana, beak and ate it. It's literally like a tin, like a tin container that's being cut so that they could stick it all together. So, everyone would have. So, it's imagine it's just, you know, 500 servings of banana split all next to each other. It's a COVID nightmare now.

Josh: Maybe that is the, like, the influences, like. It's big, but it's not actually like it's gimmicky big. Yeah. So, there's something like the metre-long pizza. We've been to a restaurant, we only went half a metre.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: And that still was enough for 3 people. There's something in like metre-long or 1,000 calories. 1,000 calorie. You have to do a 1,000 calorie drink.

Tommy: Yeah. It's a kilometre, 1,000 metres. So, 1 kilometre. We're going to Yeah, let us know. Hi, The Daily Talk Podcast.

Josh: 1,000 people. I was thinking, imagine if you like passed it on. It was like a pass-on where you, um, you send them a link and then they open it, say hi, and it goes. They say you have to send that to somebody who will open it.

Mason: Nightmare.

Tommy: Sounds fucking annoying.

Josh: It sounds real annoying. I mean, there is also something in, um, the 1,000-minute show, which we, uh, I think we worked out that was, uh, 6 hours or something.

Tommy: Yeah, well, I said 1,000 seconds. 1,000 GB worked that out to be 16 minutes. It'll be our shortest show ever.

Josh: That's quite funny too. What would you pack in? I mean, the intro runs longer than that. Yeah, 1,000 minutes divided by 60, 16 hours. That's—

Tommy: it's not— it's a— it's not a 24 hours. But still decent. We could do it. We could do 16 hours.

Josh: You'd want to do it on a Friday to go into the weekend. Yes. Imagine doing that on a Wednesday and just cooking, cooking the whole rest of the week.

Tommy: Let's try and talk to— Let's talk to the team. So, you'd be talking about doing it on April 16th.

Josh: No, 7, 8, 9. So—

Tommy: No?

Josh: Oh, sorry. What was the date of it?

Tommy: April 9th. No, no, no. Sorry, it's April 9th. Yeah. So, it was going to be April 9th. April 7th. Wednesday the 7th. Yep. If we did the, you know, the Monday.

Josh: Took the long weekend.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: Took the long weekend because in Australia there's not public holidays.

Tommy: And so, then it means that, yeah, it lands on Friday the 9th.

Josh: Which is kind of cool because we never knew when this was going to land. We did, you know, 12 shows a week at one point. And so.

Tommy: Funnily, the next day is the day that there's a barbecue at my place. Maybe we move Meatfest Friday to the Friday. But then, yeah, we'll see. I think we still do Meatfest. Meatfest, definitely, definitely. It could just be sort of like off the back, like, you know, it's like a slow-paced—

Josh: you've probably never been to one, but a recovery party.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, it's like a recovery.

Josh: So like weddings, everyone's trashed, and then the next day it's like just lounging around.

Tommy: I like the idea of making it a Friday. Perfect.

Josh: All right, good vibe, good vibe. I'd struggle midweek thinking we're going to come back and do a shoot tomorrow.

Tommy: Hi@thedailytalkshow.com if you've got any suggestions, any—

Josh: if you have a business that wants to get involved, if you have something that you want to give to us.

Tommy: What about a cup? The cup stuff.

Josh: So, we'll have—

Tommy: Tommy is organising a cup crane.

Josh: Cup crane. Love that.

Tommy: We'll— He'll be able to hoist down from top level of our building to the bottom. And so, you would be able to arrive, press a button and the cup would come down and you'd put money in it and then Donation.

Josh: Yes.

Mason: Yeah.

Josh: And so you'd have to come pick it up.

Tommy: But I'm not comfortable with donation just because it sounds like we're a charity.

Josh: Well, well, we are.

Tommy: Pay what you think it's worth.

Josh: It is. We are the— What's that restaurant called?

Tommy: Yeah. What's it called?

Josh: Lentils Anything. We're the Lentils Anything of podcasts. But we don't do as good as Lentils Anything.

Tommy: I think they were struggling for a bit. Maybe people weren't paying.

Josh: You talking about us?

Tommy: Send us an email though. hi@thedailytalkshow.com and we'll see you tomorrow, guys.

Mason: Have a good one.

Tommy: See you guys.
