Jess & GB Fill In Again

George: It's a very low barrier to get into the Gronkh Squad.

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

George: Say 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.

George: It is outrageous.

Josh: Come on, let's go. It's The Daily Talk Show, episode 1007. That's George clapping. Hello. And, uh, Jess is here as well. She's off, off camera today.

Jess: G'day, guys.

George: We're filling in for Tommy again.

Josh: Yeah, he's sick.

George: Good on him for going home.

Josh: Yes. Are you both people that would struggle to take a day off?

George: Yeah.

Jess: Yeah.

Josh: Yeah.

George: I think like, yeah, it's not good, is it? I mean, last year we're in and out of sickness all the time, in and out of lockdowns.

Josh: Yeah.

George: This year, having a bit of a sniffle, I'm like, I've got shit to do.

Josh: What is it?

George: Sorry.

Josh: How many sick days, Jess, have you taken, do you think?

Jess: I reckon I've taken 2 in my entire life.

Josh: Really?

Jess: Yeah.

George: Yeah, I reckon I'm— yeah, probably one, just so I can beat Jess by one.

Josh: But it's— but do you think so? I mean, it's, uh, is it admirable? I don't know. I've definitely taken a lot of sick days. I— if I was feeling really terrible and I didn't feel like I was my optimum, I'd take a day.

George: Yeah, I mean, you've got them, so I definitely wasn't that vibe.

Josh: You know, there's like people, it's like, well, I've got 10 a year. Yeah, I've got to use them. Every single one. They treat them like annual leave.

George: Yeah. No, I've never done that. I've never actually probably chucked one sickie in my time.

Josh: What did you do?

George: Actually came here. It was last year.

Josh: That's right.

George: Sorry to my old company who's not listening. And I came here and did work for you guys. I chucked a sickie for them and came here and worked for you.

Josh: Did Tommy push that onto you?

George: He said, if you want to come in, there's work for you.

Jess: What were you working on?

George: Oh, just a little video. Couldn't remember. I can't remember what it was, but it was. Yeah.

Jess: And did we pay you?

George: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, I made bank that day.

Josh: Jess is, I mean, we don't have a camera on Jess, but the way that you're using the microphone right now, like you've gotten very comfortable. It's quite handsy. You're holding, using both hands on the mic.

Jess: Yeah.

Josh: Like you're about to sing a belter.

George: We could be on The Voice right now. Yeah. And you're just getting ready.

Josh: There is a little annoying sort of sound that it's making. So, I can't hear anything. Really? Can you hear it?

George: Oh, yeah.

Josh: It's not good. Have you ever been a singer, Jess?

Jess: No. You've heard my voice.

Josh: Not really.

George: She belts it out. Yeah, you belt it out.

Jess: Sing quite a bit.

George: In the office. Yeah.

Josh: George, have you been a singer?

George: No, but I always would. I would like to.

Josh: Yeah.

George: That's a goal of mine.

Jess: How about you start now?

Josh: Yeah.

George: Okay. What do you want to hear?

Josh: Billie Eilish track.

Jess: That's too hard.

Josh: The hard thing is I couldn't think of any song. Like if you said sing a song.

George: Yeah.

Josh: Wouldn't know the words. But if I had the music behind me.

George: Yeah.

Josh: A lot easier.

Jess: All right. Grease Lightning.

George: Nah, nah.

Jess: You can't be picky.

George: It's just not. It's not in my range.

Jess: Okay. Macy Gray.

George: Oh, yeah. Give me. What's the song?

Jess: I try to sing.

George: Okay. I try to say goodnight. It's a bit, it's not in my range either.

Jess: What is in your range? How about you give us a few options?

Josh: What is Stella thinking about this?

George: Try to walk away and I stumble. I mean, it's kind of.

Jess: Is Jimmy Barnes more in your range?

George: No, God no.

Josh: What do you think? What do you think about a just no more touching on the desk? Because you've got the microphone that's like with a desk mount and you pick up on more noise.

Jess: I need a fidget spinner then.

George: Yeah. Yeah. You're a fidgety person.

Josh: Fidget spinners. They were a real thing for a while there.

Jess: Yeah.

George: Never had one.

Josh: Now, what I was going to say is around karaoke. I actually did karaoke when I worked at Fox FM, Triple M and Fox. The digital team did a sort of an evening out and we did karaoke.

George: Was it in one of those private rooms?

Josh: What is Jess laughing at? Do I still have a sai bau on my lips?

George: No.

Jess: I was just going, I was just scratching my eyelids.

Josh: She's using the microphone too. And then you looked at me for a split second.

Jess: You didn't notice or you didn't acknowledge it. Just realised how weird it was.

Josh: You okay? Yeah, yeah, don't do it. She's still doing it. Yeah.

George: So, was the karaoke in one of those private rooms or was it? Yes. Really?

Josh: Yeah.

George: Okay. So, not in like a public bar where everyone could watch? No.

Josh: Oh my God. You okay?

George: I wish we had a camera on her. Sorry.

Josh: Are you all good?

Jess: Yeah, I'm all good.

George: Okay. I had to pass out.

Josh: The, like doing activities. I spoke yesterday about golf and whether that would be a good perk as a business, getting a golf membership. Um, which we've decided no to that. Instead we're getting, um, I can announce this now. Yeah, yeah, we're getting, um, Fetch for the business.

George: That's great.

Jess: Which, that's not a perk. That's not that as part of your internet deal.

Josh: So you can, you can watch ESPN.

Jess: That's just like getting an extra chicken nugget and being like, guys, I got you some chicken nuggets in my Macca's order and Fetch is like Foxtel.

Josh: Did you have Foxtel as a kid?

Jess: When are we going to be able to watch Foxtel at work?

Josh: Just having the news on MSNBC, what's happening with finance. Is that what we get?

George: Get—

Josh: We will get that. Yeah. With the $14 package, we can get the whole lot.

George: That's great. Are we going to put it on the TV?

Josh: Yeah.

George: Downstairs?

Josh: Yeah.

Jess: Where we don't see it.

Josh: No. Well, you've been sitting there a lot on the couch working. So, I think it could be— It's just good sort of Ambient sound.

George: Do we get a remote with it?

Josh: Yes. You get a whole box.

George: That's cool.

Josh: Get all the channels. It's the mighty one, too. It's the good one.

George: That is good.

Josh: People would pay good money for that.

George: How many channels?

Josh: So, I think we get 16 included.

George: And so, what is it? Like sports, news?

Josh: Yeah.

George: MTV, ESPN.

Josh: Oh, that's cool. We don't— And so, we— They do the whole first month you get everything. And then we will watch everything and then we'll say, well, we just need all of it. And so, we'll pay the extra $14.

Jess: Yeah, great.

Josh: And we'll have it all.

Jess: Yeah, $14 a month.

Josh: Yeah, extra if you want everything, which is not bad. You know, that's one coffee run, so surely we can do it, right?

George: Yeah. Oh, that's exciting. So that's the perk for the business coming up. Yeah, very good. Um, I got nothing to add.

Josh: I actually, in that moment, I was like, okay, I better say something. And then I thought, you know what, maybe George has something. And yeah, this is—

George: this is— oh, we got Kayo as well, which we need to hook up.

Josh: Yep.

George: Do you still watch KO?

Josh: Yeah, I'm watching it a bit. LPG. Oh, PGA.

George: Yeah, I've been using your account.

Jess: Not to be confused with the golf.

Josh: PGA. Oh, LPG.

George: LPG. That I'm AGL? No, LPG.

Jess: LPG.

Josh: Have you guys ever had— You've never owned a car, have you?

George: Not, no, not like in my name. As in it in my mum's name.

Josh: So, yeah. So, what happened? So, have you got your licence? You do? Yeah. Of course, you drove the other day.

George: Yeah.

Josh: So, when you turned 18, is that when you got your licence?

George: 17.

Josh: 17th birthday.

George: I got my P's, did the test, drove to school that day with the windows down.

Josh: So, did Mum get you a car or how did you end up with it?

George: No, I just used Mum's car. Citroën C3.

Josh: Citroën. What brand is— What is Citroën? Is that the actual—

George: Yeah.

Josh: Yeah.

George: It's like a French—

Jess: C-I-T-R-O-E-N. Yeah.

Josh: Citroën. Same everywhere in France. Your first Car?

Jess: Um, I had a Mazda 2, little manual boy.

Josh: Oh yeah, you're not— you don't do manual now? No, it seems unnecessary, doesn't it?

George: You can't drive manual, can you?

Josh: I can, yeah.

George: Really?

Josh: I'm actually very good at manual.

Jess: His dad's a drag racer.

Josh: That's true. Yeah, yeah, motorsports is in my family.

George: Can any of your brothers not drive manual?

Josh: They can all drive manual. Yeah, okay, good.

Jess: Yeah, my dad forced us to.

Josh: Yeah, we learned. Yeah, on manual.

George: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm manual. Manual through and through. Love driving manuals.

Jess: I mean, it's only fun for a little bit and then you get sick of it when you're stuck in traffic and you have to put your foot off the clutch.

Josh: And I could definitely be the guy who has an auto but still uses the Tiptronic, the man— is that the, like, tapping it to change gears?

Jess: That's just dumb, don't you think?

Josh: Yeah, but my dad used to turn off traction control, um, when we're at the lights.

Jess: What's that mean?

Josh: It would sort of, it would stop the wheels from spinning. But if you were going for, if you were taking off quickly, you actually didn't want traction control because it would sort of, it would make sort of a drag racing experience unfun.

George: And he used to drag at the lights. Yeah, that was sort of famously.

Josh: Yes, yeah, yeah, master of the lights. Yes, that's what they said, that's what they used to say. But, um, I mean, I haven't been to the drags in a long time.

George: I've never been.

Josh: I think that could be a fun—

George: That would be great.

Josh: —experience.

George: Where do they even do that? So, it used to be Calder Park Raceway.

Josh: I think Heathcote we could go out in the sticks.

George: Do you see that video?

Jess: See my place. Heathcote? Heathcote, yeah.

Josh: Oh, that's good.

Jess: There you go.

Josh: How, like, how long is it?

Jess: Wine region.

Josh: Oh, that's great to know. Would you— I feel like you could get into the drags.

Jess: Well, I grew up with car racing and stuff because my dad and pop used to race. Go-karts? No, cars. Yeah. What sort of cars? I don't know. It's called a Turner.

Josh: Oh, yeah.

Jess: Do you know what that is?

Josh: Are they like the ones that sort of have like, it sort of, it almost looks like a marquee on wheels? No, that's a moke.

Jess: No, it looks like a car, but it has one side is blocked off for the passenger. And, and then the other one is like where it's all open. Obviously Dad's just chilling.

Josh: Can you show me a photo? Yes. Okay, that's cool. And so work activities, you were saying, Jess, you wanted to do something like free to feed. Well, sorry, sorry, free to feed. Yeah, that's it. Which is like a, you learn how to cook. Oh yeah. So all as a team because we did golf the other day, and Jess, you weren't really into that. So, the next thing we do as an office, I want it to be something that Jess is really excited about. Can you give me some other options, Jess?

Jess: I don't know. What do you reckon, GB? Anything that you'd like to do?

Josh: Because I think the things that GB likes, I'll probably like.

George: Yeah, I wouldn't mind playing golf again.

Josh: Yeah, we are tomorrow. That'll be good. Yeah. Uh, so you just actually found the photo? Oh, that's not what I was expecting.

Jess: Yeah, it's sort of, um, that's an actual photo of my dad driving the Turner with my pops holding it because he's so proud.

Josh: Yeah, so can I show the camera? Yeah, it's good. That looks cool.

George: Um, so did they, with the racing, did they, um How long did they race for?

Jess: Every year. Oh, that looks sick.

George: Yeah. Oh, I like those cars.

Jess: Yeah. Um, dangerous.

George: Imagine flipping that thing.

Jess: I remember always going up to Winton. You did? You used to go to Winton a bit? No. Um, yeah.

George: Any crashes?

Jess: I remember you skidded out one day. That scared me. Um, I just remember the smell. It was always just like, you know, that, that smell and the sounds of the cars popping and like rumbling and Yeah. It's interesting. And so, other activities.

Josh: So, Jess, other activities. Can you just give me 3 others that we could do as a team that you'd get pumped about? Okay. Skydiving. You'd get pumped with skydiving? Okay, go.

George: I would do that, but expensive.

Josh: Yeah. What, $600 each or something? $300, I reckon. It's pretty cheap, isn't it? I almost don't trust $300. I'd prefer to pay $600.

Jess: $350. Really? Okay. Yeah. Rock climbing? Rock climbing, I could get around. Really? Yeah. I mean, it's a little bit— I'd prefer rock climbing over bouldering.

Josh: The thing is, I don't do bouldering. But the one thing is there is— I think that we all have to be in a good mental state when we do these things, because I could imagine TJ and I having a blow-up at a rock climbing facility. Yeah.

Jess: Yeah. You two are not being good together.

Josh: Just being like either letting him down too quickly or me or him— Him coaching you two. I can imagine being on the wall and him actually climbing back up to me. He actually lifts my leg up. Yeah. So that, but that could be fun. What else?

Jess: I've got another one. Clay. I really want to do like a clay turntable thing. I've done that before.

George: It's good fun. Never got them back, actually. We did it like just before COVID and I'd come back and pick it up in 6 weeks, then we went into lockdown.

Jess: Go get them. Yeah, should. Should be masterpieces.

Josh: I actually still have, about 4 years ago, I got Bree a kayaking experience on the Yarra and they had some of the worst flooding ever, so they couldn't do it. And so, I got a credit. Oh, yeah. It's probably expired now.

Jess: We should get one of those boats that goes down the Yarra. Oh, yeah.

George: Fishing. No. Deep sea fishing.

Josh: That'd be sick. But you're not drinking at the moment.

George: Oh, no, you're not into fishing.

Josh: But what would you do?

Jess: Like you just like a— At that point, it's not going to be happening for how long?

Josh: Friday. Why not?

Jess: I mean, if you want to do it Friday, it could be fun.

Josh: We've got a shoot. Oh, that's right. That's only in the morning though, isn't it?

George: Yeah. What are you doing on Friday?

Josh: Well, yeah, I think we should go do something.

George: Figure something out now. Yeah. Anything else? Lawn bowls?

Josh: I feel like it's similar to golf for Jess. All right. So, the boat thing could be fun. Would you be happy with the boat if we organise that for Friday, Arvo? You don't have any— What if it's like raining? Concerts on or anything?

Jess: I don't want to drink this week. Why don't we go to the footy?

Josh: Yeah, footy. You want to go to the footy Friday?

Jess: Josh's eyes just twitched, so no.

Josh: No, no, no. I'll go to the footy. No, no, no. No, no, no. All right, Friday.

George: No, maybe not.

Josh: Yeah, let's go. Let's go. Friday we're going to the footy. Who are we seeing?

Jess: Well, that's the issue.

George: We don't want to go— But then it's Friday night. I suppose we could do Friday night.

Josh: Um, okay, so Friday during the day, afternoon. Yeah, um, yeah, we could. The finishing early thing on a Friday is quite an easy sell because we're not that productive unless we've got like something due. Have you thought about something or what?

Jess: Oh, it's just funny, we're not that productive.

Josh: No, we, we all like sort of like after 3 o'clock it sort of dies off.

Jess: Yeah, sure. For sure. Yeah. But you know what was really nice for those 2 weeks in a row? The cheese platters.

Josh: Remember them? Oh, yeah. We could— I mean, the problem is that you're like—

Jess: I'm a pain in the dick. Yeah.

Josh: You're like from a dietary perspective. And I'm also trying to dial it in too.

Jess: Okay. Fun. Do you reckon people are excited by this conversation? Probably not, but that's okay. Fun team activities.

George: Yeah, I don't know. I got nothing. Egg drop.

Jess: No. Mini golf. No, that's exactly the same as—

Josh: It's actually not.

George: Driving range.

Josh: Yeah, thinking that. I'm just— The problem with the driving range, I can't go with mates because of the whole— Because I'm a member and I feel the— Like I'm getting the driving range. Have you come up with an idea? What is it?

Jess: Let's do an escape room.

George: Oh, that's a good team building activity.

Jess: I love escape rooms, but a scary one. I want to do a scary one. Okay.

George: Yeah, I want to be scared. Friday lunchtime?

Josh: Yep.

Jess: We won't be back until after lunch, but yeah.

Josh: That could be fun.

George: That would be fun. Fuck yes. That's a good problem solving.

Jess: I'll look into the best ones after this. Okay, great. I love—

George: you'll love that. Have you ever— I've never done it.

Josh: I've done it once before. Really?

Jess: I did a Saw escape room. An hour. Remember how I got into Saw last year and had to watch all the series? Is that why? Based on that? It's because I did the Saw escape room and I was like, I love this shit. I'm going to rewatch them.

George: Oh, new one's coming out soon. Well, I think— Saw that. When's that coming out? Not—

Josh: That wasn't a pun. So, yeah, when is the next one coming out though? He's asking a good question.

Jess: I think it was June.

Josh: Don't know. Nick from The Numbers Game. I did something the other day and he said, oh, that's so funny. That reminds me of blah blah. I didn't understand what he was talking about. He said Entourage. I haven't seen it. And so I said to Bray, we need to watch Entourage. That was only like 2 weeks ago and Bree is into the 4th season. Really? But I fell off after 1 episode just because it's very hard to sort of keep up.

Jess: But I have— One of her entourage is in Melbourne. You did tell me that.

Josh: Yeah. Which one? I don't know his name. The main one.

Jess: Yeah.

George: Did you see that? I think Russ Keys posted it last night. They're shooting that show in Port Melbourne.

Josh: Looked great. I was going to say, it looked shit. No, seriously, it looked like—

George: They were meant to recreate an LA traffic scene. It looked— Smoke going everywhere.

Josh: Everywhere. It literally looked like Bay Street, Port Melbourne. It looked shit. Yeah.

George: The only— They literally took— The cars didn't look very American.

Josh: They looked— There were Australian cars on the right-hand side of the road. I think they had Victorian number plates. Did you see that? No. Who are they?

George: Do you reckon they had left-hand drives? No. Really?

Josh: No. No, it looked—

George: Fix it in post. I don't know what—

Josh: Do you know what film that is?

George: No, it was a TV show, I think. But La Libra or something.

Josh: Um, but I, I do like the idea of, um, watching a series. Obviously I was watching Shards of Sunset, which is finished up, starts back in May. Yeah, would love to get Reza on, um, who's been on, who's one of the main people.

Jess: Did we get to the bottom of that from yesterday or the day before about getting him on or whatever, about what you did for Bree that was actually for you?

George: I looked it up, I couldn't find anything.

Jess: I'm not making this up, am I? What do you mean? You did something.

Josh: Or the golf club stuff. Yeah, last year.

George: But you say you want to get him on.

Josh: Yeah. Yeah. So, coming up, can you actually produce this for us? Getting Reza from Shahs of Sunset on the show.

Jess: Reza from Shahs. Yeah.

Josh: You could use, you could use our Paul, Dr. Nazif. Oh yeah. Who's been, who's from, I think Bravo as well. Yeah. Who's been on the show. The plastic surgeon.

Jess: He's on Botched. Yeah. Oh yeah, cool.

Josh: Yeah. Um, so I think that could be— it would be great if we could get Reza on. Okay. Um, so series-wise though, The Circle.

George: Have you ever watched The Circle on Netflix? I reckon you'd like it. It's so bad. It's— what's it about? It's like, um, there's all these different people in like basically an apartment building. They have their own rooms and they only communicate through Text. Okay. They tell the circle to send a text to someone.

Josh: It's like a big WhatsApp group. Yeah. Netflix series. Yeah.

George: And some of them are catfish. Okay. And so, they have different identities and they're like, you've got to catch them out.

Josh: Someone told me to watch that show where it's based in, I think it's called Superstore. No. It's like The Office, but in a—

Jess: Oh, yeah. I started watching that. I didn't enjoy it.

George: It's not. Yeah. Retail people.

Josh: Yeah. I think it's called Superstore.

George: Yeah, maybe. Yeah. I haven't watched that.

Josh: But the TV show that I— Jess had her hat backwards and I said reminds me of Alex Mack. Do you remember The Secret World of Alex Mack? No, never heard of it. There was a chemical—

Jess: You will recognise that he showed me the intro and it was— I guess what?

Josh: It's probably going to be on Fetch. Oh, great. Nickelodeon. Yeah. So, it's Alex Mack. She falls into some chemical at a chemical plant and then she has superpowers. She can go invisible and all that sort of thing. Oh, yeah.

George: She looks cool. Yeah. 7.5 on IMDb.

Josh: Seems high, doesn't it?

George: First episode, 8th of October, 1994. Final episode, 15th of January, 1998.

Josh: If you both had to binge something, not food, as in like, um, that we've already seen. Yes. Where it's like, okay, the weekend I'm just binging. Yeah. What are you binging? Breaking Bad. Haven't seen it.

Jess: Gossip Girl.

Josh: Haven't seen it.

George: Can you please watch Breaking Bad?

Josh: And Gossip Girl. At the same time?

George: Breaking Bad is the best show of all time.

Jess: I never got into it. Seriously. I really want to get into Game of Thrones.

Josh: I don't like any mediaeval shit. Yeah, I'm the same. Anything that's not in the present. Yeah. I'm only just getting by, like, I only get by with like—

George: Breaking Bad is great. Seriously, I reckon you'd like it.

Jess: Okay. What about Harry Potter?

Josh: Watched the first one.

Jess: You haven't watched— I couldn't tell you.

Josh: Couldn't tell you anything about him.

Jess: You haven't read the book either.

Josh: I read 30 pages of— Insane. Of the red one, which is the first one. What's that called?

George: Philosopher's Stone.

Josh: Philosopher's Stone. And that was a big deal. Like, I remember doing that. It was a massive achievement for me. Like, I'm pretty sure, like, it It was one of those cases where I read 30 pages.

George: Yeah.

Josh: And I spent more time telling everyone at school that I was reading Harry Potter and then just gave up.

George: Can I just say my reading this year has gone down the drain since February. I'm not happy about it.

Josh: I can relate to that.

George: I might start reading again. I've got— I need to read Jasper Jones.

Josh: Jasper Jones. What's it about?

George: Well, it's not sure. It's about this boy, but the author wrote Jasper Jones, and then he's recently written Honey Bee, and I flew through Honey Bee in a day and a half. Yeah. And so, Mum sent me down Jasper Jones. Yeah. I'm gonna read that.

Jess: And what's Honey Bee about?

George: Honey Bee is about a 14-year-old trans girl who just wants to be loved.

Josh: That's nice. Was that the bee one? No, it's Jasper Jones. What's the bee one about?

George: That? Oh, that's that one. Jasper Jones. I don't know what Jasper Jones is about. Yeah. But that's good. I'm going to read that by the end of May.

Josh: I would love, I mean, going back into winter, surely I should finish that water book. Oh, yeah. About sort of because—

George: Why don't you read some fiction? It's all made up.

Jess: Exactly. It's nice. It takes you away.

Josh: Yeah. Yeah. I think I bought a book That was short made-up stories, fiction. Because someone said, Matt Mullenweg, who founded WordPress, in an article he said he reads a storey every night and it gives him funny dreams. Oh, yeah.

Jess: And do you want funny dreams or no?

George: Yeah.

Josh: Yeah. I love the idea of funny dreams.

George: Yeah, that would be good.

Josh: And so anyway, I've got that book. It's very small. Text is quite small. So, I'll get sore eyes.

George: Yeah. Well, you know what they say, John, my stepdad who owns the bookshop, he told me a good book will make you think about— Well, a good book will teach you something about the world. A great book will teach you something about yourself. I really like that. And nearly all great books are fiction. When you think about it.

Josh: Why is that? Why do you say that?

George: Well, just think about all the best books. The great books. Yeah. Hardly any of them are like non-fiction.

Josh: What are great books? Harry Potter series?

George: Yeah, all that stuff. No, give me 3 other books.

Josh: I don't know. How to Win Friends and Influence People.

Jess: Jodie Picoult?

Josh: Non-fiction.

George: A Clockwork Orange. Is that a book? That's a movie.

Jess: Oh, I don't know.

George: What am I thinking of? Tequila Mockingbird.

Josh: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You're just going through school texts. Yeah.

George: And, you know, like non-fiction books are great. But the other thing is you get the gist of them quickly. Yeah. Like you got the gist of it.

Josh: Non-fiction. Yeah.

George: You get the gist like by halfway and then you don't want to finish it.

Josh: Well, it's like Lost Connections. Yeah. I got to the point where it was like, don't take antidepressants. Yeah. And then stopped reading. Yeah. By the 4th chapter.

George: You know why?

Josh: Does he really?

George: What is he saying? I'm making that up.

Josh: He's all about like, just connect with people. Yeah.

George: I mean, he doesn't say flat out don't take them. I think he says take them if they work for you. But there are other reasons why you're depressed. Yeah. Yeah. Not just a chemical imbalance in your brain. It is interesting. I'm just reading.

Jess: Johan Hari.

George: This is Johan Hari's work.

Josh: Oh, really? Is he the one that wrote— Is he written a few books?

George: Don't know. Yeah. Oh, yeah, he has. The other one was— The big thick one. War on— It's like a war on drugs book. Okay. Yeah. Alrighty. Which is interesting.

Jess: What are you going to do with all your books downstairs?

Josh: Oh, the library? Well, they're just common. They're not mine anymore. They're all of ours. So, you can—

Jess: They're BMCs.

Josh: Yeah, they're BMCs. You can help yourself to a book.

Jess: Thank you.

Josh: Yeah. So, someone was saying the other day we've got something like 4 Bibles down there.

Jess: Really? Yeah. Yeah, I think there's like a series or something.

George: Why don't you donate them to Salvos?

Jess: That's where he got them.

Josh: Yeah, it just seems counter, sort of some sort of Human Centipede situation where I'm just like buying them and then selling, like giving them back. Can we all read? I think what you're describing there is a library. Yeah, true. No, but I— Yeah, it is. I always feel great when I'm reading. I don't know what's happened. Not reading. Instagram's got you. Yeah, I'm actually, I think I should delete the app as well. Yeah, disable your account. Yeah, I've been watching the guy that says, um, he goes up to cars, like fancy cars. He says, what do you do for work? Oh yeah, I've seen that. And they're like, I'm a stockbroker, or I'm a doctor.

George: I've only seen the ones where he goes up like Jake Paul and stuff.

Josh: Oh no, no, he goes up to all different types. It's almost like a car meet type of situation.

George: Yeah, right. So what's, what's the storey here?

Josh: Just the—

George: That's what you've been watching? Yeah, yeah. I mean, you showed me your YouTube history the other day.

Josh: There's a lot, isn't there? Yeah. Imagine looking at his actual Safari history. Yeah, bring it up. Yeah, I can. Oh, let's see what's, what's happening on Safari.

George: Everyone go to your Safari history.

Josh: I actually don't even know how to say it. Here you go. Mine's boring. News. Oh, this is funny. Ausbargain.

George: Dog cocaine, because there was that funny video of that dog who knew the word cocaine. Have you seen this? Yes, very funny.

Josh: React. I looked that up. V-Lock batteries. Um, bonding internet connections. Yeah, combine multiple internet connections.

George: This is boring, isn't it? Yeah, this is so—

Jess: because I'm just news, Optus, and then 5G, and, um, Yarra Bend Golf. This one, looking for team activities. Gridlock, looking up that word.

Josh: North Carolina time.

George: Have you told your gridlock fact on the show? No.

Josh: Gridlock, um, is an English word, but it was actually created in the US. Um, a lot of commercial properties, just looking at what's out there. Oh, lots. Oh my God, there's so many. Did you talk to Bray?

George: Did you tell Bray you're buying a house?

Josh: No, I'm just looking at commercial properties. Oh, commercial.

George: Yeah, yeah.

Jess: Oh yeah, showed me this one yesterday for the office. Yeah, Jess didn't like it.

George: It's where dreams go to die. Really? Why?

Josh: It's more of an office. So at the moment I feel that this office is shit. No, no, no, no, no, no, it's not shit. It's actually— I'm very grateful. It's, um, But you could. It's got homey vibes.

George: Oh, yeah.

Josh: It's like a house. It's like a house. I don't mind that. And so I'm looking for something that's sort of a little bit more corporate. Sterile? Yes. Oh, no. But so then we can—

Jess: So sterile. The lighting was so—

Josh: But it's even so we can control the lighting. The problem with like warehouses and shit is that lighting's an issue. Sound's an issue. And so what I'll see, like, I'm looking at like places where they've got like glass meeting rooms. I've got an idea which we can then put decals over it. How should we look at— you don't want corporate. What are you guys about?

George: We're a bit more fun. What do you guys— we need to be inspired when we walk in. Yeah, so what do you want?

Josh: What sort of offers? You don't want to work from home, do you really? Yeah. No, you don't. We offer you to work from home all the time and you still come in. Why did you really—

George: don't you like the vibe here?

Jess: I want to work from home.

Josh: Yeah, you can. You should. Thank you.

Jess: No, because you guys can't come in.

Josh: We all have to work from home. Ah, so that's the problem.

George: I'm not doing that. Yeah.

Jess: George will always want an office, won't you? Yeah. Oh, your internet sucks, that's why.

Josh: Well, just even still, it's nice to come around. Yeah, I actually like— and so the thing is, the office has been great. We've been here for over 2 years now. Um, a lot of great memories. But yeah, I think there's— it is very hard, like, looking right now. There's just so many options trying to— so we're in Abbotsford right now, trying to work out, do we want to go Hawthorn? Do we want to go Richmond? Car parks are an issue, like, making sure that you've got enough car parks. Yeah, Collingwood, it's all very hard.

Jess: Is there somewhere that's just, just on a random back street, like, not in any vicinity of an office vibe or like commercial vibe.

Josh: Like a house.

Jess: Yeah, possibly. Why don't we just rent a house?

Josh: No, like it needs to—

Jess: The thing is that— We can all have our own bedrooms. That'd be great. You just want your own space.

Josh: You want housemates? You want housemates?

George: She doesn't like talking at work. Yeah.

Josh: I mean, would you like it if you had the option, if we said to you today, Jess, Jess, you can work at your desk or we've actually got a new room in the office. We just knocked down a wall. We're like, fuck, there's a new room. Jesse, do you want this as your office? Would you take that? Yeah. You, so you would like, you would like your own office? Possibly, yeah. I think that could work because I don't necessarily want an office. I like the idea of being out and about. So maybe if we had a space, you could have an office and sort of set it up the way you want. Thank you.

Jess: I kind—

Josh: That could work.

George: Can you have, can you put a thing on your door that says GM, General Manager, Jessica Lucas?

Jess: Anyone needs an office space or their own room, it's you.

Josh: Yeah, edit suite. Yeah, I would love to have an edit suite.

George: That would be nice. Just black it out. But also lonely. I like being out and about. Yeah, you guys, I'm gonna put my headphones on.

Josh: Yeah, it's true. Anyway, all right, well, uh, what an episode.

Jess: We apologise for the content.

Josh: We've nailed this.

George: I forgot we were even recording. Yeah, just chatting.

Josh: I think it was good fun.

Jess: I don't know if any of the listeners will enjoy this one.

Josh: Yeah, it's fine. Hi@thedailytalkshow.com.

George: Oh, can I just say, coming off the high of my Monopoly win, I won Monopoly today twice. Yeah. We play Monopoly at work and I won both times. Deal. We play Monopoly Deal. Yeah. Shorter games so you can smash them out at lunchtime.

Josh: So, just want to— A lot easier than actual Monopoly.

George: Yeah, that would take too long. Yeah. Okay.

Jess: We should actually do that though. That'd be fun.

George: Yeah, that would be fun.

Josh: Yeah. Friday? I mean, I was playing a lot on my iPad. We could get back into that and play on— Oh, you've got an iPad. Yeah. You can't use your pencil though. Why? It's an advantage, I think. How? We just like being able to move things around quicker. Is it a speed game?

Jess: That's not—

Josh: Not when Josh plays, that's for sure. I was joshing. That would be fun. We should do that. Great. Monopoly tonight. You need to buy an iPad. Hi@thedailytalks.com. He can use his phone if he wants to. Have a great day, guys. Bye-bye. Get better soon, Tommy. You going to say bye?

Jess: Goodbye.
