Our Celebrity Crushes

Josh: The Daily Talk Show. It's The Daily Talk Show, episode 629.

Tommy: It's Fat Fridays and we got Liam McLann on the phone.

Josh: McLannan.

Leah: McLannan. That's how my kids say it. Do they? Yeah, they call themselves McLann.

Tommy: McLannan.

Leah: Yeah, it's too hard. McLannan. Yeah.

Tommy: Yeah, thank you. I mean, you were too kind. You just have done a few of our Fat Fridays catering with help from the Birdcage Cafe.

Josh: Yeah.

Unknown: Yeah.

Tommy: And so, I mean, thank you, Adrian. Yeah.

Josh: Thank you, Anthony.

Tommy: Today we've got egg cartons. It feels like quite sustainable, this sort of offering that you've presented to us.

Josh: Can you describe what it is?

Mason: Okay.

Leah: So you've got the Dippy Eggs off the menu. So basically you've got 2 eggs that were probably runny inside, but now with my commute might be a little bit more pasty, but that's fine. That's a vibe too. And then you've got avocado and some chilli and some other things that you can put into your eggs and a whole bunch of bread there to eat.

Josh: Perfect. And so do you have any suggestions? I'll try one.

Tommy: Oh, there's salt there.

Josh: Yep.

Tommy: All right.

Josh: If I screw it up, you can—

Tommy: Yeah, you might need to help baby.

Leah: Okay, baby. It's weird when I call you baby.

Josh: So weird. It'd be worse if it was daddy. Happy Harry's been calling me daddy because he knows how much I hate it. And so he's answering his phone, hello daddy.

Tommy: But he's moved to—

Leah: So much to unpack in that, isn't there?

Josh: He started calling me bro because his dad said that I'm like his big bro.

Tommy: But he doesn't have a big bro.

Josh: Yeah, exactly. So I'm like taking the place. Okay, thank you.

Leah: Maybe just like chisel it off. Maybe we should have gone for a knife, but look, I'm just going to—

Josh: Oh, there we go.

Leah: There you go.

Josh: Perfect.

Tommy: All right.

Leah: Yeah.

Tommy: These are old school. I mean, this has got a few soldiers with it.

Leah: Yeah.

Tommy: It's— I used to have something called coddled eggs.

Josh: What's that?

Tommy: Coddled eggs. English dish. I used to see these things in our cupboard and I was like, what is that, Mum? She's like, oh, so you open it up. It's like a— looks like a lid, metal lid that has a sort of a sort of like a ring stuck to it that you can put your finger through and lift the whole thing up. And so, it's almost like picture a mug with a lid. And then what you do is you put that mug into hot water and then inside the mug is eggs. And so, it's doing this, but you don't have to crack any shell because you just undo the lid and it's already in there.

Leah: So, you're boiling The egg in there.

Tommy: Where's it from, Sevs? Coddled eggs, where are they from? English dish, no doubt.

Mason: I've just got a coddled egg recipe.

Josh: Okay, how do you make them?

Mason: Um, well, so the ingredients—

Tommy: I mean, it's the easiest thing.

Mason: 4 teaspoons of heavy cream. That's what they recommend.

Tommy: Slightly, yeah.

Mason: You set the codler inside the medium saucepan, fill with water 3/4.

Leah: How you going, Josh?

Josh: Yeah, I'm struggling.

Tommy: It is a fair bit.

Josh: Do you need some help?

Tommy: And there's also like a bacon mix here. Yeah, this is good. It's like quite fiddly while doing a podcast.

Leah: It's an interactive meal and maybe retrospectively interactive is problematic.

Josh: No, it's perfect. So International Women's Day is on Sunday.

Unknown: Yes.

Josh: Are you doing— because your podcast, the whole premise is every big day.

Leah: Yes.

Josh: You have a guest on. Yeah, have you got someone?

Leah: No. So what I just— great, great question. But what I decided to do was Endo Month because I thought everyone's going to do International Women's Day, so let's bring a bit of endo. I mean, I'm sure anyone with endometriosis is like, oh my gosh, don't joke. Yeah, I don't know if there's such thing as endo banter.

Josh: Um, some sort of people have it that it should be— there should be some level of banter.

Leah: That's right. Um, and so So I'm going to interview, I've got a girl who I used to work with who she's going to tell her story. She's told it on radio before and yeah, I think it'd be good to humanise something that you just sort of hear stats about.

Josh: Is endo similar, polycystic ovaries, is that a different thing?

Leah: I think it's a different thing.

Unknown: Yeah, I've got no idea.

Leah: But look, I don't have done my endo research yet.

Josh: What is endo?

Tommy: Like how do you just, endometriosis.

Leah: Can you tell us Mason?

Josh: Yeah, what's the official endometriosis?

Leah: I mean, Mr. 97.

Mason: A disorder in which tissue similar to the tissue that forms in the lining of your uterus grows outside your uterine cavity.

Josh: So I think, I mean, that's all, yeah. It feels like there's a bunch of things that women have to deal with in regards to health shit that's very common that blokes just don't have to do. I guess that's one of them.

Tommy: And also birthing babies.

Leah: Yeah.

Tommy: It's all centred around that, right? Like endometriosis, isn't it?

Leah: Yeah, it's like reproductive, I suppose. It's in that camp. Yeah, there is a lot, isn't there?

Josh: How are you feeling with the podcast stuff? How's it going?

Mason: It's good.

Leah: I think I'm doing 2 more episodes and then I'm closing it and then I'm doing the next project, I think. So Endometriosis Month and then the final one is Creativity and Innovation Month. I was actually going to invite you on for that. So sorry to put you on the spot, but if you're available. Yeah, I'd love to. Yeah, so I'm thinking of getting maybe 4 different creative innovators and talking about how they do that, what their creative process is, and then also doing a bit of a creative activity together.

Josh: Sure, I love that.

Tommy: You should do your stupid— I mean, your balls.

Unknown: What? What?

Tommy: Do your balls.

Josh: What's my balls?

Tommy: Dorodango.

Josh: Oh yeah, Dorodango, which is like a clay ball from Japan. Have you heard? I mean, George, you love Japan.

Unknown: Yeah.

Josh: Have you heard about Dorodangos?

Mason: Dorodangos.

Josh: Sorry.

Unknown: What is it?

Josh: It's a clay ball.

Tommy: Get excited, George. You're going to blow— it's going to blow your mind, mate.

Josh: No, you make it and over time it's actually— the official translation is mud ball.

Unknown: Is that right?

Mason: I think so.

Josh: Yeah.

Leah: Where do I sign up?

Josh: And so what you do is you create—

Mason: it's a mud dumpling.

Josh: That's right.

Mason: Mud dumpling.

Unknown: Official.

Tommy: You can't eat it. That's misleading.

Josh: But the idea is that over time you smooth it all out so it becomes this perfect perfectly spherical, spherical ball and you can like put it in your house and stuff and you sort of. So anyway, I want to do that. So that was TJ's point around that. It takes a long time, so it's probably not something you can do in a session.

Leah: Maybe that's a side hobby.

Josh: Yeah, yeah, definitely.

Leah: But you could definitely talk about it.

Tommy: Has there been any doomsday prep at the McLaraven household?

Leah: Oh yes.

Tommy: That's how I'm going to do your name, by the way.

Josh: McLaraven.

Tommy: Do you like it or not?

Leah: It's all right. My last name used to be Supermus.

Unknown: Sopranos.

Leah: And that's Macedonian. And so I encountered a lot of people calling me Spermi in high school. So, you know, I used to— now I feel like nothing is worse than that. And I'm sorry, while you've got your mouth full of stuff to say that, but that was my experience. I'm so sorry. But yeah, so now I don't mind about any last name banter because it doesn't seem as tough.

Tommy: But have you done any doomsday prepping at your joint?

Leah: Okay, so I went to the shops yesterday just because I genuinely needed some toilet paper and there was just nothing there. And there was these two older ladies who were like, where's all the paper gone? They were all angry. And then this Coles worker came up to them and she's like, don't even get me started on this.

Tommy: You know, she's trying to roll her eyes.

Leah: They're going crazy and I'm going home. So it was really— sorry for laughing, but it was really intense.

Josh: You were the worker. That was intense. I believed it. I really did.

Tommy: I felt like I was at Coles. Josh and I are the old grandmas.

Leah: Yeah. So then my friend Holly called me and she said, look, I've been to five different shops today, supermarkets, no toilet paper, no nappies for her kid. So she's like, I've got a hack for you. Go to Bunnings because Bunnings have massive toilet rolls for like office buildings. So I said to my husband, hey, on the way home, can you grab it? So we literally can't fit it on the toilet holder.

Josh: Toilet paper for like tradies.

Leah: Is it like, you know, it's like, you know how like in the McDonald's toilets and things like that, they have those big canister ones.

Tommy: So you just need to get now, like you need to install a whole, like, system. Yes. Yeah.

Josh: Like, yeah, it's like you need to use double to make it like it's somewhat—

Mason: or nothing though.

Leah: That— well, yes, you know, I saw these things with trolleys full of like handy towels, you know, like all paper towels for your hands and tissue boxes as well. Like, they had trolleys full of that. So people are trying all wipeable mediums at this point.

Tommy: Mate, I'm happy with showering after toilet if that's what it got to.

Leah: When do you have—

Tommy: when, like, our office has a shower.

Josh: So I'd be pretty annoyed if every time, like, you were using the shower multiple times.

Tommy: I've got a friend, I've got a friend who— it's his thing, it's his thing. He washes after he does that number 2.

Leah: I know someone as well. Yeah, it's a sensory— I think it's actually a sensory issue.

Tommy: Can you look it up? It's either Pink or Katy Perry only uses wet wipes.

Josh: I mean, there's a lot of paper.

Tommy: Yeah, but then, no, you can't, because you can't put them down the toilet, you can't flush them.

Josh: Yeah, well, there's that big issue, um, they were getting huge bowls because they were all clogging together.

Tommy: They're not dorodangos.

Josh: Yeah, yeah, they were a little bit like a dorodango.

Tommy: What are they called? Uh, meat, uh, weird, um, they were underneath, uh, fatbergs. Fatbergs.

Josh: Oh yeah, fat dumplings.

Tommy: Look up fatbergs.

Leah: It is, it's like the amalgamation of a whole heap of gunk in your Sink the block's the spot, yeah.

Josh: It's not ideal.

Tommy: It is Gronkh equals Fatberg. Like people who are just putting anything down the toilet.

Leah: Yeah.

Josh: And so were you just going to get, say, 15 rolls? I don't even know. Like, do they come in like 12, 18?

Leah: Yeah, I'm not sure of all the different dispersant numbers. I haven't like paid heaps of attention, but I was just going to get like a small pack because we'd just like literally run out.

Tommy: I just dropped the lemon wedge.

Mason: Where did it go? On the ground.

Josh: I've already dropped it.

Tommy: Imagine if you're a sales rep for a toilet paper company. You have the boringest job ever until the last couple of weeks. Like, people wouldn't be going, so tell me about how it is on the road as a toilet paper salesperson.

Josh: Well, how about this?

Leah: But now you'd be like, and all the radio stations are calling them as well.

Josh: How much of the toilet paper that's getting used is for like just radio stations needing to do content? Yeah. I saw Leon Shergrin with like probably He was wheeling a trolley. Yeah, wheeling a trolley of them for Fifi, Fev and Byron. But, yeah, the prepping thing, I don't quite understand why people are going. Is the idea with the toilet paper just that we need that?

Leah: Yeah, I guess they're assuming— I'm getting into the mind of a doomsdayer. I guess they're assuming that, you know, if it's lockdown, what are the essentials? And apparently that's Panadol, toilet paper and nappies.

Tommy: Panadol?

Josh: Toilet paper.

Leah: They seem to be the things that are going. So lots of Easter eggs left. So I've been taking full advantage of all the shelves full of them.

Josh: Are they on sale?

Leah: No, not on sale. Just in stark contrast to like the tumbleweeds going through all the rest of the aisles. So it's pointing me in the direction of chocolate. So maybe that's nice.

Josh: Yeah. I mean, the thing is, I do, because I was hearing Hamish was on Kennedy and Malloy and he was talking about how We don't know when a doomsday is actually going to happen. Like, maybe this is the start. Like, we're all like laughing and being like, oh, this is ridiculous. But it's not like, I guess that we assume that it's going to just one day all of a sudden start happening. Like, we know that it's to prepare.

Tommy: What you're saying is seeing people prepare for a doomsday is probably not the sign of doomsday. The doomsday happens and people are unprepared.

Josh: Well, no, we assume that that's how it happens.

Tommy: What, people prep and then—

Josh: No, that it just all of a sudden it's like, we know that shit's happening. And so everyone's got to go there. But what's happening right now is like a pretty good signal in some ways that like if everyone else is doing it, like there is that sense of like, oh no, I think, I think you got to assume people are a bit more stupid. I feel that's what we're banking on, aren't we?

Leah: Well, we're laughing at the doomsdayers and they're laughing at us, but maybe they're doing one of those wild cackle laughs. So who's right and who's wrong? I don't know.

Josh: Yeah, I mean I even saw Ruru, who listens to the show, sent me— her friend bought the domain name australiantoiletpaper.com.au.

Leah: That's something you'd do.

Josh: I know.

Tommy: That's illegal though. She can't have it .com.au. She doesn't have a business.

Josh: He then, the friend, had his business— he did the business name registration Australian Toilet Paper.

Tommy: That's a great idea.

Josh: But is it? I mean, because then you're in the—

Tommy: then you're in a business. It's as good as half the domain. It's actually better than most of the domains you've purchased.

Josh: I don't think it'd be business one. I think that you— it's playing into the hype right now, which is like real, but you can ride 6 months in though.

Tommy: Like, you can ride it.

Leah: They say when there's a gold rush, invest in shovels. So when there's a panic, invest in toilets. Domestics. Yeah, maybe domains.

Josh: I don't know. What's an example of that at the moment?

Leah: So like, podcasting is a gold rush. Invest in the tools to make podcasts because there's going to be so many people like, help me, like me.

Mason: Yeah, sure.

Josh: Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, I wonder around.

Tommy: I think it's like invest in building podcast studios that people could work, record a podcast in. It's like you're renting the shovel, we're renting out the space.

Leah: Apparently there's on Gumtree people are literally selling toilet rolls by the roll. I saw someone posted that.

Unknown: Thousands of dollars they're trying to get.

Josh: Oh really? This is silly.

Unknown: I mean, it has to be. $20 grand for a Oh, okay.

Leah: I was seeing them for like $10 or something a roll. Yeah.

Josh: I feel like there's just other ways. Have a shower. So you've, you've brought in some toys.

Leah: It was an attempted content idea.

Josh: We love that. It's the whole show.

Leah: I was inspired by Andy Lee. Was it Andy Lee? I think who said when you come to speak or when you come to be a guest, always think of what you can contribute, which I always thought of that anyway, but it just took it to the next level anyway. So I tried to make a Jenga tower and And I thought in my mind, I had this vision that we would all be laughing and I'd have this towel and we'd pull out the ones that were like, oh, is it gonna fall? And each one has a question on it. However, my kids stole this bag and ran away with it. I was so like, I had never felt the level of rage that I felt. It was scary. It was like I was unleashing my inner Josh about the kitchenette. It was like, rah!

Josh: How's that become the standard? I'm a pretty calm guy.

Tommy: You are. You watch yourself back.

Leah: I think it's your thinly veiled rage that I can hear behind your voice.

Josh: Yeah, yeah.

Leah: So I was doing that. I was doing a Josh and, um, searching through my house trying to find the pieces, and I haven't got enough for a whole tower, but I've got, you know.

Josh: Did you notice straight away the kids were doing it?

Leah: No, this is the thing, they're so crafty, aren't they? Because if there's a bit of quiet, you're kind of like, oh, this is nice. They stole it last night when I had my sister over for dinner.

Josh: What did they think they were doing?

Leah: They were just kind of like, blocks, even though I'd said, hey, these blocks are for this, and I'd put them in my handbag on the bench.

Josh: So do you think that the mistake was telling them that the blocks were in the handbag on the bench?

Leah: They'd already asked about it, otherwise I never would have told them.

Josh: So they said, hey, hey, Mum, what's with the blocks?

Leah: Yeah, they're like, hey, did you buy me blocks? Which, you know, fair enough. It's so sweet of them to assume.

Tommy: Do they have—

Josh: they don't have blocks?

Leah: They've got their own blocks. This is another rant. Does anyone care? I don't know. They do have their own blocks.

Tommy: The other kids' toys are way better than their own. That's why.

Leah: Or other— their mum's toys are better.

Josh: Yeah, that's so annoying.

Leah: Okay.

Josh: Yeah.

Leah: So anyway, so what— so now I think instead of making a Jenga tower, um, we just shake the bag and pull out a block.

Tommy: All right, I'll pull out a Jenga block.

Leah: Yeah, it's not as visually exciting for YouTube. Yeah, they've got questions on them.

Unknown: Great.

Leah: All right, do you want to go first?

Tommy: Yeah, okay, I'll steal one of these.

Josh: I'm going blue because the bacon stuff is delicious. It is so good. So am I reading smoky?

Tommy: Am I reading this out for For you guys?

Leah: I think it's for you to answer.

Tommy: For myself?

Leah: Your block, your question.

Tommy: Something that made you think.

Josh: Nothing. You have to go back a bit.

Tommy: I think it's this. This is the first time I've thought in a while.

Unknown: Yeah.

Leah: So whether it was a podcast you listened to, a book, a show, a guest you had on here.

Josh: Um, I mean, you're the pushback guy when it comes to thinking.

Tommy: Yeah. Oh, I tell you what, smoking a joint last year. Yeah, actually, no, on those cookies.

Josh: Oh, you think on the edibles?

Tommy: On those edibles.

Josh: That's really the last time you really thought was when you took illicit drugs.

Tommy: It's not illicit. Oh, is it? Is it illicit? Illicit means illegal. They weren't illegal drugs. They were in LA and we had the legal in context gummies, so it was all good. But boy, I thought a bit that night.

Leah: Where did your brain go? I've never tried a drug. Tell me about your brain.

Tommy: I've never tried a drug. Yeah, it's just, um, uh, THC, the drug, makes you—

Josh: What did it do to you though?

Tommy: Yeah, I think for me it's like you get hyper. Um, the— I think we all— the weird thing is you start thinking a lot, but then you catch yourself thinking about how fast and how many thoughts you're having. And so It could be something as funny as like, once I— I mean, there's so many versions. It's like I thought a million thoughts that day.

Josh: You and I were fighting.

Leah: Pretty standard.

Unknown: Yeah.

Josh: No, but I mean, the thing is, because it was meant to make us all happy. And then Tommy, we were instructed to start with 10mg or there were 10mg gummies and they said start with 5. So, start with half. I took it. 2 hours in, Tommy's laughing, 97's laughing. I'm just sitting on the couch. I'm not feeling it. I was getting annoyed. I'm not feeling it. I'm not feeling it. And then Tommy's like, oh, I'm gonna go to bed. And then I said, okay, that was like 2 hours. And I said, okay, can I ask you—

Mason: you said you were gonna go.

Josh: No, well, the thing was, because I said— yeah, because I said, can I have my other half? He's like, nah, no, you can't have your other half. And so then I cracked it and he hid the gummies. And then so I—

Tommy: was it great?

Josh: I went to bed and FaceTimed Bri and I said like, Tommy's being an asshole. And then I said to 97, I'm like, why is he getting to control my experience? And so then 97 went into Tommy's room and said, hey, Josh is really upset.

Tommy: I can't believe that even relaying this you don't see the absurdity in how stoned We all were.

Josh: I wasn't.

Tommy: Like, for the fact you go and FaceTime Bree and say something like that about something as absurd as taking drugs.

Josh: I don't think it was that crazy though.

Leah: You'd usually do that though, wouldn't you?

Josh: Yeah, I would do. I think I was pretty— it was a pretty standard reaction. Do you think that I was high, Sebbs?

Mason: Yeah, but you, you, you were saying— you were talking to Bree so loud, like it was real obnoxious the way that you were talking because there was only a wall between you and Tommy, so Tommy could have heard all of it.

Josh: But that was maybe my mechanism. I'm like, how do I say how I feel?

Tommy: And so all of it pointed to the guy that's stoned but doesn't realise it.

Josh: Well, that's what you were saying, but I was saying you were more stoned than me.

Tommy: So you— I was stoned. I'm not the guy denying it.

Leah: Do you feel like they're gaslighting you in terms of your drug use? This is a particular type of gaslighting, isn't it?

Josh: Well, because it's— because the thing is, I ended up having 20 milligrammes And they said, you know, start at 5 or whatever.

Tommy: So if you didn't fit— but you were so rat shit the next day, you like, you couldn't drive. Like, I— it's because we went to bed after 10 o'clock, half the night. How rat shit was he? Mason and I were out doing exercise and you were just in bed till 12.

Josh: Because if I'd gotten the gun— and this is the thing, I don't like having to do this because I sound like a drug addict. Like me, like being like, I wanted more and you're not giving it to me. No, that's what they put in there. Yeah, and that's what I'm saying is, and the thing is, they point to things I do anyway. They're like, mate, if you're not stoned, how do you just finish the whole thing of ice cream?

Leah: It's like, that's me.

Josh: This is what I do.

Tommy: No, I mean, we've got footage.

Josh: Have you watched it? No, I haven't. So we got the whole—

Tommy: this, you can definitely see the shit you're doing. I'm thinking of selfieing that footage. He kissed Mr. 97.

Josh: Yeah, the selfie. The cronk. I was about to say, yeah. VIP Gronks?

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, great.

Mason: We can send the video out to VIP Gronks.

Tommy: There's a photo up there, you even look stoned, dude. And that's when we were stoned.

Josh: I think there was a part of me which was like, because the person at the marijuana shop said you need to set your intentions.

Leah: It sounded very wistful.

Josh: Yeah, and so I set my intention. I set my intentions. I'm like, I'm not going, because I know that I could— the first time I ever drank, um, I ended up in tears. And so I was like, okay, I don't want to do that again. And so I set my intentions like, everything's great, it's all going to be good. Like, this is going to be fun.

Leah: You are strong.

Josh: Yeah, that's right. Yeah, this is going to be great. And then, but I can't control what the people around me do. So I felt like that's where it went wrong. I think that if I had that experience on my own, it would have—

Leah: stoned in isolation is way more fun.

Josh: Yeah, I think it would have been.

Tommy: And the thing was, that's a real drug addict.

Josh: No, but I was leaning into it.

Leah: Well, I was leaning into it.

Josh: Like, the thing is that They're like, okay, if you were stoned, why did you do this?

Unknown: Why did you do that?

Josh: Like, I, um, you put a box on you. Yeah, I got a box. I got a LaCroix box. I was like, you know what, I think the guys are stoned. I'm not stoned yet, so I'm going to go to the kitchen and I'm going to get a LaCroix box. I'm going to put it on my head and just pretend it's not there. I'll see if that gets a good laugh. But that was me leaning in too. No, I just—

Tommy: when are you ever doing shit like that? When you ever kissing 97?

Josh: It was on the cheek. And it was for a photo.

Tommy: Yeah, but when are you doing that? You've never done that. My point is, I don't know how you don't see that even where you thought you were in control, that was you being stoned.

Josh: But it was so low level.

Leah: Yeah, so you wanted to not be as conscious in that moment.

Josh: Yeah, I think I just wanted to—

Leah: You sound like you were very alert and aware.

Josh: Yeah, I think I just wanted to, um, I wanted to be laughing. I wasn't laughing enough.

Leah: Maybe it's like alcohol where your inhibitions come out and your inhibitions are a bit more sad.

Josh: Yeah, that's it. It's a bit of the limo thing, you know, just working out that the food makes you sad.

Tommy: Anyway, there was a lot of thinking.

Leah: A lot of roads lead to sad. Okay, so you thought then, and then you were thinking about your thinking because you were like, wow, there's a lot of thoughts.

Unknown: Constantly.

Tommy: I mean, I do that anyway, but it's just hyperthought. Once I was stoned and I was, I went to, I was making peanut butter toast. Everything tastes better when you're stoned. Anyway, and I had the butter and was like at my mum's house and it was a big slab of butter. And in my head I was like, oh, this butter, this must be cold, like hard, rock hard. And I brushed my knife through it and pressed hard into it to try and sort of get some leverage on that cold butter. And it wasn't cold butter and just went straight down to the bottom. But I— it was so funny because then I realized, and I just could not stop laughing at how I'd thought it was cold butter, but it was really room temperature butter. I cut through with a knife.

Leah: Anyway, so that's insight into a drug Experience. Yeah, cool.

Josh: The uncontrollable laugh is good. If you can get an uncontrollable laugh— I got an uncontrollable laugh today.

Leah: Silence.

Unknown: When I made you, um, spit water out of your nose.

Josh: Can I tell that story?

Unknown: Yeah, you can tell it, it's fine.

Josh: So I said to— like, George has just this matter-of-fact way of like describing everything, always got like a little story. And I said, George, we need you to learn how to upload all the show content. 'cause we don't know what, like if Sebs gets sick or he gets hit by a bus. And then George said, funnily enough, the way I got my last job was the editor got hit by a car. Funnily enough. Funnily enough. And I was like sipping my water. Funnily enough. And so sometimes you got to make your opportunities happen, don't you, George? But then they got, but he's like, ah yeah, it's like, well, how is he? He's like, yeah, he's good. He was off work for 3 months and, you know, a lot of physio and that sort of thing. But now he's good.

Unknown: He's good.

Josh: He's back.

Leah: Oh, okay. So it wasn't final.

Josh: Okay. Yeah, he's not. So yeah, but still full on.

Unknown: It was full on.

Tommy: Yeah. But I mean, did you feel the pressure? It would be crazy. You're floating some, you know, it's like, oh, make sure you have clean underwear, you might get hit by a bus.

Josh: Yeah.

Leah: Yeah.

Tommy: You're sort of saying something like that. And he said, yeah, funnily enough.

Unknown: Yeah.

Tommy: My mate had shitty underwear and got hit by a plane.

Josh: Well, it's almost like literal George, maybe. Like, he's just got— like, he's able to take something that could have just— like, it was just a comment.

Tommy: Yep.

Josh: And just being able to connect it with an actual fact.

Tommy: All right, time for another.

Leah: All right, go, go, go.

Josh: Uh, it's not Jenga. What is it? What's the—

Leah: is this Jenga?

Tommy: It's always Jenga. Lego, Jenga, Jenga. It's, um, Yeah.

Josh: Something you hate that everyone loves.

Leah: Oh, this is gonna be a long list.

Josh: I don't hate that many things, but— I love how everyone's painting the picture of who you are, Josh. I don't know how everyone's doing this.

Leah: It's a daily show.

Josh: Something you hate that everyone loves. Yeah, heaps. Yeah, no, I just hate the expectation to, um, to, um—

Tommy: Oh, movies. You could say majority of people are into movies.

Josh: Like, I don't have time for all that. But I think, um, like maybe just the paying for stuff at restaurants.

Tommy: No, we don't love it. I don't love it much.

Unknown: Going out.

Josh: Going out. Bree's like, oh, I've just— we've just been invited to this, um, Festival on like March 20-something. And she's like, oh, you know, this, like this, Bernard, Bernard Fanning.

Tommy: What is this? Flashback.

Leah: Yeah.

Josh: Yeah. He was ex-Powderfinger, Bree said. If you look up Bernard Fanning Festival. So, I'm going to that. But Bree was coming at it with like, this is so exciting. I'm like, I'll do it, but I'm not excited. And so I think it's that festivals, anything that involves big groups of people, holidays with people outside of 4 people, if it's a bigger group, no.

Tommy: Does that suffice, Leah?

Leah: Yeah, I think that's pretty good. I was also thinking like, is there any trend that you like, everyone's on board for it, but you're not really?

Josh: Oh yeah, definitely.

Leah: You're like, don't believe the hype, like, oh, Beyoncé.

Mason: Yeah, sure.

Josh: That kind of thing.

Leah: No, you lean into the hype.

Tommy: No, there's not even like iPhones. You're like, yeah, all good. It'd be more like Android users and more the people—

Josh: anyone who uses like—

Leah: no, I appreciate it.

Tommy: I think most people go, you know, the basic bitch like myself and Josh are using iPhones.

Josh: Um, no, there would be heaps. Just give me a few seconds.

Leah: That's right, I'll start rummaging.

Tommy: Okay, I can get one for Seb. No, you got it, you got it, Josh.

Josh: Okay, I mean, I enjoy playing in that space.

Tommy: Okay, Mr. 97.

Leah: All right, okay, can I pick a different one because I want to answer this one? Okay, something that has challenged you, Mr. 97.

Mason: Um, oh yeah, okay, um, no, I, I was, I was at home last night and, um Every, everyone in my family sort of, uh, jumped on the bandwagon in terms of giving me shit for not cleaning up at home. And I, so it was all prompted by the kitchenette episode, and so mum brought it up, and so then dad jumped in, Sam jumped in, and, um, I thought you would be a guy that did do that at home. So, and that's, and that's what I was.

Josh: And so, oh, what's happened?

Mason: Well, just like going to the gym late, I never get home, I never clean.

Leah: Oh, so now it's the people versus Mr. 97.

Mason: And so it, I guess it sort of challenged my thinking because I was like, oh yeah, I'm, I do that, I'm good at that.

Josh: But yeah, did you get upset?

Mason: Um, but that's, no, no, no, it was, it wasn't, it wasn't upset, it was more just like a wake-up call to clean up more.

Tommy: Yeah, thought you were that guy but you're not. Yeah, fair enough, let's be honest.

Leah: Can I do one for George?

Unknown: Yeah, go on. Just quickly, Jasna says she agrees with you about concerts and mass crowds.

Josh: Yeah, thanks.

Mason: Also, Rain Man Rory says we should get a TDTSB day.

Josh: Oh yeah, like a— as in a birthday?

Unknown: Bidet.

Tommy: Oh, like a bidet toilet.

Josh: Not a B-day. A bidet. A bidet. Yeah, I've never actually used one. They're all across when Bree and I were traveling, but I just— I just don't want to have to deal with that negativity.

Unknown: It's so accurate in Japan.

Tommy: Oh, you're so accurate. You really got your little bum on one?

Unknown: Yeah, because they got like the full remote next to you.

Leah: Sounds a bit frightening.

Tommy: I would pay to see—

Mason: Is it controls? Like what?

Unknown: Yeah, yeah, you got different strengths. Intensity?

Tommy: Yeah, but it's like—

Unknown: Yeah, like—

Josh: Yeah, it's like bang on.

Tommy: I would pay to see footage of George's face the first time he used it. Like nothing else, just phase that.

Josh: Is it just like, do your ears ring? It's that accurate, you know?

Unknown: Yeah, you sort of go— Oh, you sort of—

Mason: It's like a sniper.

Tommy: You're on the phone to the police.

Josh: I've just been— It's all on the way. I've been assaulted.

Tommy: A Bidet just assaulted me. Hey, um, Kogan have got them, $240 or something. We could get one for the office.

Josh: I don't know if we want one at the office. I think it's promoting too much. I think just do your twos at home.

Tommy: That's not a workplace you can create.

Josh: What do you think, George?

Unknown: Yeah, get one.

Josh: No, do you think workplace dumps are fine?

Mason: I think we legally have to be—

Leah: I think I'm in support of anyone who needs to step in as HR right now.

Josh: What, you think that legally we have to?

Tommy: Let him let it out.

Mason: Yeah, I think you have to create an environment where people can take them.

Josh: I don't know if that's actually true.

Tommy: We're a dumb environment.

Unknown: It's in such an awkward spot here, it's right next to the studio. Pretty much in the studio.

Josh: Yeah, he's in the studio.

Leah: I think people are—

Josh: I mean, we had, um, we had a guest in earlier in the week and like, we finished the show and then I just say to Sev, just pump up some tunes, which just sounds like Just sounds like I'm about to demolish it. It's like, just get ready, everyone, you know, which is not true. Like, I just needed— I just think that I didn't even want the person to hear my stream because then—

Tommy: You're just assuming everyone's as awkward as you are about it though.

Josh: I think that it is. I think that George brought it up, and so that's—

Tommy: No, but George doesn't care. He's the guy that likes to have a little cannon fire at his bumhole.

Josh: Do you not care? You don't care about it?

Unknown: Like, about your stream?

Josh: No, but no, so say if you—

Mason: About your stream.

Josh: But do you think that creates a culture of taking a dump if it's so close to the studio?

Unknown: Potentially, to be honest. I probably, I'd probably, I probably wouldn't.

Leah: He's relatively new. Maybe as you ease into it, then your bowels will—

Mason: Nah, unless you really gotta go, I'd prefer to hold on.

Josh: Yeah, yeah. Or even go to like a children's—

Unknown: I don't care if anyone else does it, but I just would probably try and hold on.

Tommy: Actually, you're not children because children don't give a shit. They'll shit anywhere. It's tarnished adults you are.

Josh: No, I think we just have respect for our environment. Absolutely not. Like, you—

Tommy: absolutely not.

Josh: This is a whole— like, we have to— like, it's not like— I don't know, I feel like within an office you shouldn't have to open office windows and turn on fans. Like, it's like everyone dealing with it. Yeah, it's like, you know, like in China they've been doing the coronavirus, just spraying everywhere.

Mason: It's like we have to do it in Glen 20.

Josh: It's a nightmare. You don't feel that, TJ?

Tommy: It's how you continue the awkwardness of doing number 2. So then the people that have problems like, you know, bowel issues, like, what are they meant to feel? The thing is, we've developed such a bullshit view on using toilets.

Josh: Stop pretending like you're woke because you take a dump at the office.

Leah: Can we get that on a t-shirt?

Josh: Yeah, that's what you're doing. It's like, I dumped, so for everyone that has issues, I dumped therefore I'm woke.

Tommy: It's like, yeah, it's— I think it's choose your wokeness. You choose your wokeness about the most stupid shit. And so this is one that I actually think—

Josh: so you are doing it, you were doing it as a, like, a service to the community?

Tommy: No, I hadn't even thought about it like that. I'm literally just like, it is dumb how you give pushback on this. It's like the re— yeah, people get all— I think people are more— I think it promotes the awkwardness by people doing what you're doing.

Josh: So you want us to— I don't do anything.

Tommy: It doesn't matter. What about the day, caveman days, where everyone's just shitting, just pissing nude?

Josh: So that's the standard?

Tommy: Like, you think about Africa, think about the little tribes in Africa where women are nude. Don't—

Josh: you've gone from woke.

Tommy: Babies are shitting themselves. I think I'm probably more— after having baby, having a baby, if there's more like You just— I'm wiping an ass. Lee is wiping 3. It's, um, 4 interviews.

Leah: 3?

Mason: 3?

Leah: I've got 3, but 2 out of 3 are now wiping their own ass, I can report.

Unknown: Yeah, sure.

Tommy: Okay, good, good, good. 2 out of 3. All right, back to 1.

Josh: Yeah. Okay, anyway, George, the question for George.

Leah: Okay, George, just to change tact, what's your dream collaboration or collab?

Unknown: Dream collab. Probably working with the Hamish and Andy Show.

Tommy: I was about to start clapping, but is it the perfect holiday?

Josh: I mean, you're obnoxious. You're wearing the perfect holiday jumper.

Unknown: Yeah.

Leah: Oh yeah.

Tommy: Who fucked up big time last week? Had to go to a wedding on the Friday that we had Hamish Blake in the studio. You could have— that could have been your collab.

Unknown: That could have been it.

Josh: Yeah, they could have been like, man, that cackle is great. Cackling George. Instead. You're trying to, you know, do 97's job in case he gets hit by a bus. Yeah, that's right. That's a good collab. So I feel like you're sad now.

Tommy: Are you sad?

Josh: Am I being too hard on you?

Leah: You did really rapidly fire at him.

Josh: Are you okay? Seriously, are you all right? I'm fine.

Leah: What do you love about them? Why would you want to collab? Like, what would, what would be your dream project?

Unknown: Fun environment.

Leah: Um, would you be able to take a dump there freely?

Josh: Do you think you would?

Unknown: Hey, what was that?

Leah: Would you be— would you feel you could toilet, um, freely there with the Hamish and Andy Show?

Unknown: A bit, bit looser.

Tommy: Yeah, so you reckon there would be more supportive culture around shitting there? Is that what you're saying? Because I'd like to work there too if that's what we get.

Unknown: Um, I reckon it'd be interesting. It'd be fun. They got— they're good people. They're making good TV shows.

Josh: Oh, so you'd want to be in there too. You can't do all of it though.

Unknown: I'd prefer, probably prefer the TV stuff.

Leah: Okay.

Tommy: Okay.

Leah: So you've still got time to be here.

Unknown: I'll start the podcast here.

Leah: Yeah.

Unknown: And then the TV stuff will go over there.

Leah: Perfect answer.

Tommy: You don't get to choose.

Leah: Perfect holiday.

Josh: Right.

Unknown: Real Stories was like my favourite show growing up.

Josh: Which one?

Unknown: Real Stories.

Josh: Real Stories. That's the, that was the current affair-esque.

Unknown: Yeah.

Josh: Mine's very long time ago. Yeah. People confuse that with True Story. No, so there's True Story.

Leah: Oh, okay. Sorry.

Josh: And then there's Real Stories.

Unknown: And Real Stories is It's a sketch show, but it's formatted like a current affairs show.

Tommy: Cool.

Unknown: So they all play different characters and stuff. Brilliant. That was the reason why I wanted to even start doing any of this stuff. Loved that.

Tommy: There you go.

Leah: I'm so sad you missed Hamish.

Josh: Yeah, it's very upsetting, isn't it? I've forgotten everything. And then you also— did you speak to Ryan Shelton at the live event?

Unknown: No, not really.

Mason: Oh.

Leah: Is it because it's a bit intimidating?

Tommy: Like to go up to someone? It's because he was holding on to his shit.

Josh: I was too nervous.

Tommy: I can't go. I can't. We can't shit in public.

Leah: I'm so backed up.

Josh: So you shook his hand?

Unknown: Yeah, just said hey. That was about it.

Leah: What do you say when you see a celebrity in the wild? Because I saw Michelle Lorry at Coles the other day, different day to the toilet paper day, and I didn't know if I should approach her or not. Because, you know, you're doing your shopping.

Josh: You don't just want the general public to be like, hey, what would you say?

Leah: That's what I thought. What would I say?

Tommy: It has to be the caliber.

Josh: What do you mean?

Tommy: Post Malone, the biggest superstar, he's the biggest celebrity in the world. He's the biggest rock rapper in the world. And so I was like, I have to. How many chances am I in New York and Post Malone's just having a durry and he's there by himself? How many times I just got straight up, oh my God, fucking postie, like a good chat. But like, I wouldn't do that to Grant Denyer or whoever.

Josh: Who else?

Tommy: Larry Ebner.

Leah: You wouldn't?

Tommy: Wouldn't. Nah, no way. I might like— I'd be more the guy that just is like, Larry.

Leah: So maybe you do that, but then is that weird for someone like me to be like, yeah, yeah, yeah, walking, Michelle.

Tommy: I mean, she'd probably appreciate— they get that they have attention around them. Hey Michelle, love your work. That's it.

Josh: That's nice.

Tommy: I love your work.

Leah: I don't know what I wanted to say, and it seems too intense to be like, hey Michelle, I see you're buying Canton curry there.

Tommy: But was she?

Leah: Well, no, it's not an exclusive. It was that aisle.

Josh: What was it?

Leah: I don't know exactly what she was like. I actually saw her in a few aisles, and I kept having that emotion of, we're in the same aisle again. Should I say something? Because I really do love her as a—

Josh: Did you think about what you would say?

Leah: As a broadcaster. Yeah, I thought I would say, you know, I think you're a fantastic broadcaster, but then that seems so cringy. And she'd just be like, I just want to buy my stuff and get out of here.

Josh: I don't think she'd say that. Like, you'd have to be a real asshole for that to be your response, don't you think?

Leah: I don't know, because as well, when you're doing like a task, maybe you don't want—

Josh: George, I feel like you'd be the type of guy to, um, well, I guess you shook Ryan's hand.

Unknown: It depends on what your intentions are. I reckon like, I've got no interest in getting photos with celebrities. At all.

Leah: Yeah, yeah.

Josh: I wouldn't use your arrogant.

Unknown: And I wouldn't just go off and say hi to anyone if I like. The only people I'd do it to are the ones that I actually like.

Josh: And so what's the list?

Unknown: I want to say like, thanks for entertaining me.

Josh: And so what's the list?

Unknown: Well, probably those guys. Yeah. And but these are—

Tommy: So who would you break it for? Who, if you were in it, break that thought of I'm not going to go up to somebody?

Josh: Well, he would do those people.

Unknown: But only people that actually had an influence on me.

Josh: Like, I don't care about like other.

Unknown: Posty, I would have left.

Josh: Do you like Post Malone?

Unknown: I enjoy some of his songs, but I fucking love it. Yeah, if you love him, then great. Yeah. Um, who would I break it for? I don't know, Obama maybe.

Tommy: Just in a chicken shop.

Josh: Obama, that's an example of someone that—

Unknown: that was just the first thing that came to mind.

Josh: But he doesn't— he hasn't influenced you much, but you just— you see the value.

Mason: Cool bloke.

Leah: Yeah, I mean, ah, I feel like Harry and Meghan, everyone would break composure, wouldn't they? At the moment.

Tommy: This is small, like not other people around. It has— it's intimate. Like it's just an opportune situation.

Josh: Lobby at a very boutique hotel.

Unknown: Oh, actually, Chris Lilley, I would do it too as well.

Josh: Oh yeah.

Unknown: Yeah.

Leah: And I've done it before. Would he— have you done it to him?

Unknown: Yeah.

Josh: What did he do?

Unknown: Great. Because, okay, well, in Byron, the shop that my mum owns used to have an ABC section in it.

Josh: Oh, great.

Unknown: Used to be an ABC Centre. We saw him out and I love Chris Lilley, but I've always heard that like, oh, don't go up to him, he's a bit of a princess. And like, you know, I was like, okay, I don't want to talk to him in case he ruins what I think of him. He was the nicest guy. Really? I went up to him, I said, come to the shop in the morning. We got like an ABC Centre, give you free coffee.

Josh: You said this to him? Yeah.

Unknown: And he changed it.

Mason: You did a sell?

Josh: Yeah.

Unknown: I said, if you come down to the shop in the morning.

Josh: Wait, so just go from the start. So what's Chris doing? He's just at a pub.

Unknown: He's at the beach.

Josh: And so you just, you just saw him like just out of nowhere, or you knew he was gonna be at the pub?

Unknown: No, he was there. Okay.

Josh: And you were there?

Unknown: And we were there.

Josh: Were you drinking?

Unknown: Yeah. Okay.

Tommy: And how many, how many schooners in?

Unknown: I don't know, like 6?

Josh: Yeah.

Unknown: And so like, I was like, okay, I'm not gonna do it, not gonna do it. And I was like, nah, gonna do it. Went up to him, me and my sister. We said, hey, um, come to the shop in the morning if you want, we'll give you free breakfast and whatever. He's like, oh great, thanks. And then he turned up in the morning and we gave him a coffee and he signed a bunch of DVDs and stuff and it was the nicest guy, took photos.

Leah: Great.

Tommy: That's nice.

Josh: Yeah, clearly he didn't need the free— he wasn't doing it for the free breakfast. He was really— you think he was doing it for the free?

Unknown: I think he did.

Josh: He pay for his breakfast? Yeah, he did. He did. There you go. I love that you don't lead, but that was probably a big part. He's probably screaming.

Leah: He was a bit scabby.

Josh: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so he paid for for it. Do you remember what he ate?

Unknown: He actually just had like a little cookie and a coffee.

Josh: So he was just being nice.

Unknown: He's just being nice. He was just, oh, my DVDs are down there. Maybe I should go visit.

Josh: And so then you, you were there waiting for him.

Unknown: Yeah, I was working. It was. Yeah, it's good.

Tommy: Best day. Best day of George's life.

Josh: And you did you get a photo though?

Unknown: I can't remember actually.

Josh: You didn't?

Unknown: I didn't. I don't think I was in a photo. Oh no, I did at the, at the pub. I did, but not at the bookshop.

Josh: Yeah. Okay. So you— that's good.

Unknown: So we did get a photo in the end.

Josh: Yeah. Seems like autographs are a bit old school. Redundant.

Tommy: Yeah.

Leah: It's more the selfie.

Unknown: Well, Billy Idol doesn't do autographs anymore.

Tommy: It's all selfies. It's all selfies.

Unknown: Yeah.

Tommy: Anyway. All right.

Leah: Okay.

Unknown: This one.

Tommy: Yeah.

Leah: Okay. Favorite presenter for me. Easy. Ben Fordham.

Mason: Oh yeah.

Josh: Ben. He's great.

Leah: I feel like there's not— doesn't seem to be anyone else as constantly fun.

Josh: Yeah.

Leah: And like like supportive of other people's work.

Tommy: He's the People's Presenter.

Josh: Yeah. And he—

Leah: It's amazing.

Josh: Have you ever watched his live video on the 2GB website?

Leah: No.

Josh: So you can actually watch him do the show live and it's the best thing because it's just—

Mason: He's up and about.

Josh: He's always got great posture. He's like this.

Tommy: He's always got like a shirt.

Josh: Nice white shirt.

Leah: Yeah.

Josh: Like a nice with a collar. And he's just like, now we're getting reports of something that's just happened at Martin Place. That sort of thing.

Leah: That took things really dark.

Josh: Well, not something bad. Like, it turns out that it was a— He's covered it all.

Leah: Like the shooting.

Tommy: I was talking to Josh, who's at the Lindt Cafe. Mate, what's going on in there?

Josh: Yeah, mate, what are you saying? You know, but he's very good at that sort of thing.

Tommy: He brings a level of professionalism that we couldn't ever bring.

Josh: Exactly.

Leah: And he seems to also have like his whole neighbourhood employed with all of his little odd jobs and things. I was like, that is amazing.

Josh: He did an Instagram storey of like 6 kids on a trampoline. I was like, is this a staff meeting? He said, mate, they've formed a union.

Tommy: Yeah, they get RDOs.

Josh: Yeah, no, that was a good one. He's going to be in Melbourne. We're going to have him on the show.

Tommy: Yes.

Josh: The end of this month. Oh, that's great. Because there's all the Ninja Warrior stuff, I think. So what's happening?

Tommy: Yeah, another season Ninja Warrior is announced. Yeah.

Leah: Yes. And the other one I like is Rachel Corbett. Do you know Rachel Corbett? Oh yeah.

Tommy: I don't know who she is. I mean, you got to watch the project.

Leah: But she's also an amazing podcaster.

Josh: Did she just leave? I think I saw on her Instagram she left Mamma Mia.

Leah: Has she?

Josh: Just yesterday was her last day.

Leah: I'm out of the loop.

Josh: I wonder what she's doing. But she's got Pod School.

Unknown: Is that?

Leah: Yeah, she's got Pod School. Yeah. No, I love her.

Josh: We should get her on.

Leah: She's great. She's very hilarious.

Josh: I wonder what she's doing now.

Tommy: All right. To finish this off, maybe we just do rapid fire so that your handwriting on these Lego blocks, these They're not Lego. Yeah, they look like, I mean, they're plastic.

Leah: They're, what's it called?

Unknown: Jenga.

Leah: They're plastic blocks. Read, watch, and listen recommendations. You can choose one.

Unknown: Okay.

Josh: Tiny Habits, which is the book for this month's altered book club.

Tommy: Altered Carbon to watch. Yes.

Leah: Oh really? What's that?

Tommy: It's really good. Think a new modern Matrix.

Leah: Okay. I'm going to have to do a watch as well. Cause I watched like one of the best standup comedies on Netflix. It's called Quarter-Life Crisis. Taylor Tomlinson, I think her name is.

Tommy: Yeah.

Leah: 25 years old. So hilarious, I cried laughing.

Josh: She'd been on Joe Rogan maybe. I think I saw her. Yeah, I saw her.

Tommy: This is not a rapid round.

Leah: Okay, sorry. Uh, one more.

Tommy: Yep, wrap it around. We can get through them. Okay, we'll just go.

Leah: Um, favorite, favourite cafe?

Tommy: Uh, the one that we got these from, Birdcage Cafe.

Josh: Yeah, I like it. I'm digging this, but I also love, um, uh, in Heritage Wall, Heritage Wall, and AU79.

Leah: Celebrity crush?

Josh: Um, Um, I don't know, actually.

Tommy: I'm trying to think of a man that I really like.

Josh: What about a woman?

Tommy: I mean, on the, um, love Toto.

Josh: Oh yeah, that's fair.

Tommy: What's the guy's name? Um, oh, there's a bit of a man crush on like, um, Danny Jr., like in Iron Man. That—

Mason: oh, Robert Downey Jr.

Tommy: Yeah, he's the persona that he has in that film.

Josh: Who's your celebrity crush, George?

Unknown: I can't think.

Tommy: Probably Hamish Blake.

Unknown: I mean, Billie Eilish is a bit young, isn't she?

Tommy: She's 18 now. She's 18 now.

Josh: She's 18 now. You should never have to say she's 18 now. Donna, you've gone too far. And she's very mature and doesn't look 18 as well. Right, the cunt's done it. It's even worse.

Leah: He's trying to help him out.

Tommy: She's 18 not, mate. She's mature.

Leah: Okay, can we change? I would say mine Is Taylor Hanson. I've loved him since I was like 9 years old.

Josh: Oh yeah, that's a good one. From the Hanson.

Leah: I would die.

Josh: Yeah, yeah, that's a good one actually.

Tommy: Um, last one. All right, speed round.

Josh: Pussycat Dolls, the, the, the, the Coldplay singer? No, the blonde, uh, gem, uh, uh, Queen Gronkh and I were talking about the, uh, blonde woman in Pussycat Dolls. Uh, she's—

Tommy: this is not your leave pass, mate.

Josh: Celebrity crush.

Leah: No, that's fine. I think we can lock that in. Mace— uh, Mr. 97.

Tommy: If you don't know her name, all you know is the blonde pussycat.

Leah: And you're just sort of like doing the gesture of her body. She has a body.

Josh: It's fine.

Unknown: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Josh: All right, last one, Leah.

Leah: Okay, last one.

Tommy: Okay, here we go.

Leah: Okay, something you've learned from a daily talk show guest.

Tommy: Uh, from a guest, I always go back to Michael Bungay Stanier.

Josh: His questions and like coaching, like getting into, um, like the posture of coaching, I feel like I use it every single day. I'm thinking about it every single day. That's probably the biggest impact.

Tommy: Seth Godin, just— I asked him about, um, kids and devices, and it was around like restrict their usage as long as possible, not with the idea that that's forever, but just they will pick it up anyway. So it's like the— and it's probably like 1 to 2 and a half is— but when they get 2 and a half, they go psycho. But before that, it's like they don't know, so they don't need to. And then they will pick it up as long as— as long as possible. Also gonna work it out at school, right?

Josh: Like the 10,000-hour thing with Jo Stanley. I just thought, like, when she came into the studio, she was so good at involving 97 and all that sort of stuff. I just thought that that it showed how when you do something for a long time, like you just, you know, they talk about like natural talent or whatever. You can see that just her doing it for so long, she can just come in and be like world-class.

Tommy: Seasoned pro.

Leah: Yeah, she was electric.

Josh: Yeah.

Leah: Yeah. I think mine was Hamish, how he talked about how his son started school and just the process of that whole thing and how like it's okay to take that time to support them and blah blah. And I was like, I felt that was quite—

Josh: Downball? Was Downball big at the school? That, that you—

Leah: Yeah, Downball is really happening.

Josh: Really?

Unknown: Yeah.

Leah: Yeah.

Josh: More than Two and Foursquare?

Leah: No, they're happening as well.

Josh: Okay.

Leah: Yeah.

Josh: I would say that Foursquare and Twosquare are more popular. Is that fair to say?

Leah: I think that is fair to say. Yeah.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: Thank you.

Tommy: How do you know this, Josh?

Josh: Well, just because in school, I just know from school days, and I think that Downball seems like an inferior sport because you need a wall, whereas with the Twosquare and Foursquare, it's actually way easier. Because all you need is the ball.

Tommy: Yeah. All right, guys. Thank you.

Leah: You also need another person. Yeah, another person.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah.

Mason: To enforce where it's at.

Josh: Wall's easier.

Tommy: Yeah.

Mason: Anyway.

Josh: Well, the next day after Hamish was on, he texted TJ and I a kid in Geelong just against a 40 Winks wall.

Mason: Yeah.

Josh: Just doing a bit of down ball.

Tommy: It was great. He was probably waiting for mum and dad inside doing some shopping and he's just playing.

Mason: Great hand-eye coordination.

Josh: It actually, I could enjoy that.

Mason: I just feel like that would be good for my scapula.

Josh: You do it in the studio as well.

Mason: Good.

Josh: Yeah, it'll be very noisy. All right, um, is that it?

Leah: That's it, we're done.

Josh: Leah, thank you so much for coming on again.

Leah: Pleasure.

Josh: Um, so do you know what the next— like, if people want to follow along, should they be going to your current podcast?

Leah: Or— yeah, you can look up Your Podcast Present and there'll be— there's 10 episodes now, there'll be 12 by the next couple of months. You'll hear Josh on there, hopefully.

Josh: Is that April, did you say we're doing that? Yeah, great.

Leah: Yeah, um, for creative innovators.

Josh: Yeah, lovely. Awesome, thank you. I'm gonna have my OJ. All right, it's a Daily Talk Show. Uh, remember, we're giving away free stickers. You just have to join the VIP Gronk, uh, sort of club. We call it a club. It's not really a club, it's a program.
