George’s advice on the show

What distinguishes a good book from a great book?

George shares his stepdad's framing: a good book teaches you something about the world, while a great book teaches you something about yourself, and most great books are fiction.

Ep 1007▶ 22:17

How do you make sure you actually follow through on New Year's resolutions?

George suggests resolutions should be announced to at least one person (an accountability contact) rather than kept entirely private, to increase follow-through.

Ep 921▶ 26:11

How should you handle requests from fans or guests on a podcast?

George says his approach, learned from working with Hump Day Replay guests, is that if someone asks for something, you should just give it to them.

Ep 914▶ 29:42

What's a good, impressive-feeling last-minute gift idea?

A custom tote bag designed on Vistaprint with inside-joke quotes or sentences can look high-effort and personal without requiring much lead time, though it should be ordered a few days in advance.

Ep 908▶ 15:24

How do you update your electoral enrolment after moving house close to an election?

Call the Australian Electoral Commission directly — provide your old and new address and they can update your enrollment and post a new ballot, even if you're past the official deadline.

Ep 885▶ 31:30

How do you build goodwill with a partner's parents?

Bring small gifts like chocolates or flowers for the mum when visiting for the first time, and consider small ongoing gestures like making the bed when staying over.

Ep 877▶ 49:01

Stories George told

3D Dyl's surprise book reveal on July 1

Ep 1022▶ 36:50

On the July 1 deadline when Josh was meant to present his handwritten Seth Godin book, he still hadn't finished. Instead, 3D Dyl surprised everyone by presenting his own completed original nonfiction book of hundreds of pages, which George recalls as one of his favourite show memories.

George's Y2K Mini-Me costume

Ep 1016▶ 21:35

George recalls being 7 years old at a New Year's Eve party dressed as Mini-Me from Austin Powers (with his brother as Dr. Evil) during the Y2K celebrations.

George's old sick day used to moonlight at The Daily Talk Show

Ep 1007▶ 1:04

George recounts once calling in sick to his previous job so he could come in and do paid video work for Josh and Tommy instead.

George's oversized tax bill and BPAY

Ep 983▶ 30:14

George explains he paid off a large tax bill last weekend that exceeded his bank's daily transfer limit, so he had to use BPAY to push the payment through without visiting a branch.

George's history of vomiting easily

Ep 973▶ 6:11

George recounts vomiting from doing shots, scraping Weet-Bix into his cat's bowl as a kid, and opening his lunchbox to find an unopened Ribena juice.

Josh drives George home, out of character

Ep 973▶ 11:10

George recounts the rare occasion Josh drove him home despite it being out of his way, framed as surprisingly generous given Josh's usual 'no backtracking' rule.

Questions these interviews answer

Drawn from the episode transcripts.

Why wasn't Tommy Jackett on episode 1007?

Tommy was sick and went home, so producer George Martin (GB) and general manager Jess Lucas filled in alongside Josh Janssen again.

From episode 1007→
How long did it take to build the Sydney Harbour Bridge?

Producer George Martin states construction ran from 28 July 1923 to its opening on 19 March 1932, about nine years.

From episode 983→
Why is Josh absent from episode 973 of The Daily Talk Show?

Josh was feeling under the weather and took a long weekend, so producer George "GB" Martin filled in as co-host for the Fat Friday episode.

From episode 973→
How do Tommy and Josh typically resolve disagreements on the show?

According to Tommy and George, they talk about disagreements early rather than letting them fester, though Tommy's instinct is to address things immediately while Josh sometimes needs to pause before diving into a difficult conversation.

From episode 973→
Do you need oil to cook in an air fryer?

Josh insisted a little oil was needed, comparing it to adding powder to a washing machine, while Tommy and George initially thought it ran on pure air; they ultimately drizzled a bit of oil on the chicken as a compromise.

From episode 948→
What is 'pulling a Tommy Jacket'?

It's a phrase used by the team to describe Tommy Jackett's habit of asking leading questions (like 'are you going to throw that out?') to get free stuff or acting with bold, unembarrassed confidence, as illustrated by George getting free expired chewing gum and Josh taking a neighbour's trolley.

From episode 943→
What did the team eat on the barbecue in episode 943?

George Martin cooked Italian-style fennel and pork sausages, smoky chipotle chilli Angus beef sausages for Josh, and six lamb cutlets, alongside a leafy salad with spinach, lemon, and olive oil dressing.

From episode 943→
Why did George Martin think he was getting a surprise birthday party?

His friend Jack Post texted him out of the blue inviting him to lunch, and George assumed Josh and Tommy had set it up as a cover for a surprise party, even though Jack genuinely had no idea it was George's birthday.

From episode 908→
