A Remote Announcement

Tommy: It's The Daily Talk Show, episode 650. Happy Fat Friday. It's not Fat Fridays anymore. We've just transitioned to Friday Night Drinks, technically in the afternoon, but we call it Friday Night Drinks. How are we, Gronks?

Josh: Yeah, really well. Yeah, we've got a full house like always.

Tommy: Yeah, full house at the moment. What do we got? 4, 8, 12, 16, 20. 21. Let's get this to 40. That'd be nice.

Josh: How was your day, TJ?

Tommy: Yeah, I got a skin check. It seems weird because everyone's worrying about coronavirus at the moment. And I thought, I've got a bit of time during the day. I can go get my skin checked. So this lady that I go to, it's bulk billed, so all the tight asses go, and she's usually booked out a month in advance. And I called yesterday and I said, can I book in? The guy said, yeah, sure. How's Friday? I said, yeah, what date? He said tomorrow. And then he reeled off about 3 or 4 times. And I said, great, 10:20.

Josh: Now that's a woo.

Glen: How'd you go?

Tommy: Yeah, cancer-free.

Gemma: Ripper. Are you still wearing sunscreen even though you're in isolation? Show of hands, please.

Tommy: Oh no, I use ReFoil. It's—

Gemma: Good, Grace. Okay, good. The women are putting their hands up.

Tommy: No, I do. I said— the lady said that to me, and I said, um, like, because you get so used to putting, uh, sunscreen on your child, uh, you end up, you know, just putting it on yourself. So I care more about my skin, my skin of my son, than I did when I was, you know, 18, 19.

Josh: That's good. Uh, 97, how are you going?

Mason: Yeah, I'm great.

Josh: Yeah. All right.

Mason: No, I've, um I've got a Pinot Noir Central Otago 2017.

Tommy: Okay, that bottle looks empty, mate.

Mason: Yeah, it's because—

Josh: but that's not a whole bottle? Have you started already or no?

Tommy: No, this was mum already.

Mason: Yeah, yeah, mom opened it and she said it was real watery so—

Josh: Watery?

Mason: So she left the rest of it, so I'm having it now.

Josh: Grace, you reckon you should be chilling your Pinot Noir? I don't know, I'm not really into the chilling of the Pinot Noir.

Gronk: Oh no, I like it chilled, especially when it's humid here in WA. It's always good, like Friday afternoon, you know, and you want a red, you don't want rosé or white. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Tommy: Take note, Mason, uh, take note, uh, chill that red to, you know, 20, 22 degrees. One other thing I did when I went to this, the skin place, Josh, you've already gone against the mute and unmute policy, by the way.

Josh: You are muted. It's my job, remember?

Tommy: Oh yeah.

Josh: If I unmute, then I mute, because that's why it has become an issue. Anyway, go on. Sorry.

Tommy: And if you're listening to audio through podcast, this is currently live streaming on Zoom and we're doing our Friday night drinks. Just sort of resetting there. But I had a win.

Gemma: Do you work in radio? That's weird.

Josh: Yeah, it was a really good reset.

Tommy: No worries. No worries. And segue. Toilet paper. How about it, guys?

Jordan: What are we at?

Josh: This is the weirdest flex I've ever seen.

Gemma: I've never been more attracted to you.

Josh: Yeah, what do you got? How many rolls?

Tommy: Mate, I've got a 12-pack right here, unopened, and I'm selling it.

Josh: Who's buying it? Where'd you get it from?

Tommy: No, so it's so funny. Like, I don't know, I could imagine you doing this, Joshua. You think this is really stupid, but like when I, for many years, me just being immature, I somehow felt uncomfortable when I'd buy, you know, the 80-pack of toilet paper and I'm walking down the street. Like, you'd be like, "Who's looking at me?" I love it.

Josh: It's the only reason I'd go to— if I was to get anything from the shops, it would be an 80-pack of toilet paper.

Tommy: No, but I've noticed the switch, the switch in my mindset where I'd always just look at people as well and be like, "How many poos do they do?" when they've got like, you know, so much. But I think that it's changed now with the coronavirus. I even stopped a lady who was walking with her friend and they both had a packet. I said, excuse me, did you get that from Coles? Are they in stock? She was so frightened for a moment and then said, yeah, yeah, they're in stock. And so I rushed and got some toilet paper.

Josh: It was like the first iPad when it came out. I bought every Apple device previously and I said, I'm not like, I'm not going to succumb to this Apple fanboy craze. I'm not going to get it. Anyway, then the day it came out, I freaked out and I was like, I need to have it. And so I searched on Twitter for iPad Melbourne and found a lady who said, I just got an iPad in. I've just secured an iPad in Melbourne. I wrote to her. I said, where are you? I'm like, I'm wanting to get an iPad too. And she said, I'm going to go get mine. And once I've gotten mine, I'll let you know where I got mine from.

Tommy: Oh, wow.

Josh: And so she did. She said she was at Nanawading Dick Smith. And so I said to my brother James, who lived nearby, can you go get one? And I went from not getting an iPad to they only had the 64GB 3G, like the fucking, the works.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: So I ended up, you know, getting a bit of credit card debt and Securing myself a nice credit card. Credit cards are for winners, guys. If anything we've learned in 2020, get on the credit card. Financial freedom.

Tommy: Not endorsed by the Barefoot.

Josh: Credit cards are where it's at. That's how— I mean, how are you going to get through this? Credit cards, right?

Tommy: Yeah. I mean, I just saw for small businesses, SCOMO. Have you noticed that there's a— I don't know, it depends on what circles you're knocking about in, but people are kind of coming back on ScoMo, that he's being— he's leading well. Have you seen this? Cam's nodding. Can I get a few nods here? Are you seeing people say—

Josh: well, only nods if you agree.

Tommy: Jim has got a photo of ScoMo and a knife. Oh my God, what's going on there? No, but people are starting to slowly say, you know, it's a hard thing, he's leading it well, and all of that. But I have noticed— but I just saw Josh for us They are going to put businesses into hibernation mode.

Josh: We've been in that for 6 months.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, but ScoMo doesn't know this. We're going to actually— we're the only business that's going to come out on top in this recession. Great, perfect. And so anyway, they're going to potentially keep employees employed through the business, rent covered. Mate, this is free rein for us to just ramp up this podcast, you know what I mean?

Josh: Oh great, unbelievable really. That's really irresponsible. Sort of action.

Mason: Yeah.

Tommy: Can we just take a moment for Wombat's top? Wombat, what does your top say, mate?

Josh: My top says Mondays aren't so bad, it's my job that sucks.

Tommy: I love that. I mean, bit taboo at the moment when people don't even have a job.

Josh: Yeah, yeah, yeah. For the moment I've still got one. So that's going to be hilarious at the Centrelink line.

Tommy: I just muted him.

Josh: TJ, what are you drinking?

Tommy: I'm drinking, um, Cricketers Session Ale because I plan to have a session. I, uh, I haven't drank these before and I saw them and I was like, they look colorful.

Josh: Is it relating to cricket?

Tommy: No, no, no. The Cricketers Arms, maybe it's a part of them. Cricketers something.

Josh: I think it potentially has something to do with Melbourne.

Tommy: This balanced, but nah.

Gemma: Bruce Watts will know. Do you want me to get him involved?

Tommy: Yeah, can you just ask him? Cricketers, the beer. I mean, what is he?

Gemma: Cricketers beer. Do you know if that's got anything to do with the Cricketers Arms?

Tommy: Yes, it does. Sorry, I can read.

Gemma: Oh, there you go. Never mind.

Tommy: Cricketers Arms. Yeah, so there's the pub, I think.

Josh: Yeah, I was talking about that beer, you know, the beer, um, across the road from my place.

Tommy: You can actually see the sign.

Josh: Yeah, look at this. Hang on, I'll show you.

Gemma: I'm sorry, my mum has just come over with olives for me. She goes, make sure you share them.

Tommy: No, mum. Oh yeah, so Josh is pointing down.

Mason: Oh great, Cam's got them as well.

Tommy: Cam's got olives. Can we just maybe—

Josh: sorry, sorry. Do you want to do a whip around?

Tommy: I just want to do a whip around to see what everyone's drinking. And don't feel, if you're not drinking, Just say whatever you're not drinking. Don't feel ashamed. All right, Mr. 97, we know what he's drinking. Josh, what are you drinking?

Josh: So I'm drinking a Jamshid Harem, uh, Mar Petite Francine 2018. It's a 750ml bottle, and it's, uh, from Scotchmere Street, Fitzroy North.

Gemma: What part of France are you from?

Josh: Uh, just the south.

Tommy: And Josh dropped his whole Centrelink payment, $550 for the week, on that bottle.

Josh: Yeah, it was worth it though.

Tommy: All right, Ian Taylor, trainer, sorry, what are you drinking, mate? There's chickens in the background.

Josh: On the classic Bogan beer. Oh, the VB.

Tommy: He's on the Bogan's mouthwash.

Josh: Ian, did you get the chickens in response for the inevitable run out of eggs, or have you always had the chickens?

Peter: Nah, well, we've had them for a few years, but they're quite handy now. Just a bit touch and go when you go to the supermarket and there's no chickens there.

Josh: Yeah, so he's invested in chickens. I've invested in an external microphone. Thank you. I don't know which is better.

Tommy: Alexandra Showbaker, are you drinking or not drinking? Oh yeah.

Josh: Is that ice in the rosé?

I: Yes.

Gemma: Okay.

Gronk: So she's doing it, so I was like, oh, I'll do it.

Gemma: I respect you.

Tommy: Great. Got Rosé. We got George. George is actually at the Daily Talk Show office. What are you drinking, mate?

Mason: Furphy.

Tommy: Furphy? Yeah, it's a, it's a, uh, it's a lovely beer.

Josh: Describe it.

Tommy: Slightly hoppy but not too hoppy. Yeah, it's by the same people that make Little Creatures. And it's just a lovely drop. Josh regrets that.

Mason: What does any of that mean?

Tommy: He regrets that he asked it. Let's actually go to Cam because he's drinking the same thing. Have you anything to add to that?

Peter: Uh, I just panic bought a case of this, so I'm just trying to get through them.

Josh: Yeah, they are, they are great.

Tommy: Yeah, solid. All right, Kez. Kez, what are you drinking?

I: A bit of Ballantine's Scotch.

Josh: Oh, Scotch. Is that— you just— is it just sort of like your classic Coke or Pepsi, or what do you— what have you got with it?

I: Bit of Coke Zero, but in a wine glass to keep it classy.

Josh: I love it.

Tommy: I had a flat-out brawl with my uncle who is a wine connoisseur, and he also likes a drop of whiskey and that. And so I got it and I put Coke in it and he fucking lost it. He was like, he was so pissed.

Josh: You know, I feel like a classic pushback is calling it Coke Zero when it's called Coke No Sugar. I refuse to call it Coke No Sugar. It will always be Coke Zero in my eyes.

Tommy: Yeah, unless, unless you have Coke Zero. Yeah, it's Coke Zero Sugar.

Josh: Yeah, yeah. I was, I was curious about what point they, like, if you asked for Coke Zero, they just started giving you Coke No Sugar? Because I feel like at the beginning when you said, hey, could I get a Coke Zero, they said, oh, we only have Coke No Sugar. But now it's just interchangeable, you could say either.

Tommy: Yeah, I mean, you can, but it's, um, Pretty boring conversation, Josh. So let's move on. Hayden Dibb, what are you drinking, mate?

J: I'm drinking a, uh, it's a vintage, it's a 2017, um, Pinot Noir.

Josh: Beautiful. When did you buy it?

J: I bought it, I panic bought it, uh, 2 days ago.

Jordan: Great.

Josh: It's the only way to buy wine is panic.

Glen: Leah's here!

Tommy: Wombat, are you drinking?

K: I am Tommy.

Jordan: That would be a 2016 Ems Table organic late harvest Riesling from the Clare Valley.

Josh: Beautiful, organic, so you won't get any hot flushes with that.

Jordan: Lots of reasons I shouldn't, hopefully.

Tommy: Fancy pants. All right, we're going to Grace over in WA.

Gronk: Hello, I'm drinking a—

Tommy: What aren't you drinking?

Gronk: Wow, Tommy, mine's also vintage. It's 2019 Hogs in the Woods Pinot Noir from South Australia.

Josh: Holes in the Woods? Is that—

Tommy: Oh, Hogs in the Woods. Hogs in the Woods. Sorry, I missed that.

Gemma: I got savage.

Gronk: Sorry, it's chilled as well.

Tommy: Yeah, Mason, take note. Nicole, what are you drinking?

Gemma: I'm not.

Tommy: Have you got coronavirus? Is it trying to up your immune system?

Josh: Is it—

Tommy: Oh, hang on, what time is it for you?

Gemma: 1:30.

Tommy: We've got too early, and then we've got Grace who is almost through the bottle.

I: Sorry, Grace.

Josh: I believe it's 7 AM where Grace is.

Tommy: Whitey, hey mate, how are you?

Josh: Hey boys, how are we?

Tommy: Yeah, good buddy. What's going on in the man cave? Looks like a shed.

Peter: Yeah, yeah, this is my work from home environment at the minute.

Josh: Beautiful.

Tommy: What are you, what's the beverage of choice today, mate?

Josh: We're having a Pure Blonde ultra low carb to go with my keto in a bintang glass that I got from Bali. About 12 years ago.

Derek: Really?

Josh: Keto, right? During Corona sort of shutdowns and all that sort of thing. How's keto treating you? That's great. It's just meat and cheese, and I always have heaps in the freezer. Oh, great. Last time you took a shit? I guess that's a good thing. You don't need toilet paper. Oh, that's an added bonus.

Tommy: It sounds like Josh's keto diet. Steve, let me guess, you're drinking something from the Yarra Valley?

Glen: No, I'm not.

Peter: I'm actually drinking a beer, but I've just noticed on it, it says the beer for all seasons. So hopefully they will last me the whole shutdown.

Tommy: Yeah. What's the brand?

J: What is it?

Peter: Acai.

I: Yeah.

Tommy: All right. Jordan, what have you put in the blender?

Mason: And here we go.

Jordan: Ah, fuck. Here we go. Well, I just invested in my bar, so I would This is what's left of Americano.

Josh: Investing in a bar, does that just mean you bought a bunch of booze?

Jordan: Ah, yeah, I've been sourcing a bunch of booze for the last week or so.

Josh: Does sourcing just mean going to Dan Murphy's? Ah, no, because some of them—

Gemma: No, he's taking it seriously.

Jordan: Yeah, I had to find Peshawar's bitters, which is very, very hard to get.

Gronk: Yes!

Josh: What is Peshawar's bitters?

Peter: What is that?

Jordan: It's just a different type of bitters to, say, Angostura, and you'd use it for more like an Old Fashioned. Or like a whiskey sour or something like that.

Josh: Lemon Lime and Bitters? No.

Gemma: I can't wait till this is all over so I can come over and just drink your entire house dry.

Josh: It's not cheap.

Tommy: Jordan, is it the one that has like, it looks like it's got a label, just some sort of like paper, old school paper label, just like slapped on it almost by hand?

Jordan: Yeah, exactly.

Tommy: Is that the one? Yeah, my uncle, the guy who had a go at me, also has that on his bar.

Jordan: Yeah, um, someone told me the other day like a good indication of a bar is how many bitters they have.

Tommy: Interesting.

Gemma: Someone lied to you.

Tommy: If there's no other alcohol and there's just bitters, it's a piece of shit bar. Rory Rainman, what's happening, mate?

Josh: Um, I got my, my free organic lager.

Tommy: I've seen these.

J: Who, who—

Tommy: you had one of those last time. Have you bought a slab as well?

Josh: I had a slab from Pitch. Didn't drink them, but they are organic and they're also ego-free, which is handy. Ego-free?

Gemma: Oh, yeah.

Tommy: If you have to write— if you say you don't have an ego, you've got an ego. If you have a bottle that says no ego, you've got an ego.

Josh: No, it's the opposite. It gets rid of it. Washes it away.

Tommy: Yeah, the more you drink, mate, the more of a fuckhead you become.

Josh: Gemma? Hello.

Gemma: Okay, so here's the thing. It's rosé, but it actually came from a can because I'm trash, and then I put it into a glass because she's still a little fancy, and it's got a tonne of ice in it. And then I've also got a rosé spritz, which I will make my way over to shortly.

Josh: So is a rosé spritz just a rosé with fizzy? Is that how it works?

Gemma: I have absolutely no idea, and I can't wait to find out. Let you know.

Tommy: Did you buy these because you saw a shameless sponsored post?

Gemma: No, because I love those girls with my whole heart, but I would sooner remove a limb than drink Moscato.

Tommy: Oh, okay.

Gemma: No, I'm drinking these because they got sent to me.

Tommy: Love it. Oh, I just muted Gemma. Sorry, that's a cardinal sin.

Gemma: Absolute disaster. Instead of my usual, like, beauty deliveries, this week I got sent chocolate from Breezer, hand sanitizer, and more alcohol.

Josh: Who gave you the hand sanitizer?

Gemma: Grown Alchemist. It's very expensive hand sanitizer, but it's 70% alcohol, which is the same, actually the same as me.

Josh: Well, this is the, the whole thing with the Aesop, like Bree was very extra when it came to the soap and bought Aesop for lockdown. And does it have alcohol in it? Well, no, but what's occurred to me is we have the two pumps, we have the soap, and then we have the cream. And I used to get so fucking pissed because every time I wash my hands, I'd accidentally do the cream and I'd be like, oh, fuck. But now, now that my hands are so fucking dry, I understand why you have the cream. So I'm going to start.

Gemma: Yeah.

Tommy: Hang on, why are they dry?

Josh: Because I've been washing my hands.

Gemma: Repeatedly washing your hands strips it as well. There's surfactants that make soap foam up and that strips all the moisture out.

Tommy: But dude, you probably don't need to wash your hands, Josh, because you haven't left the fucking house.

Josh: No, but this is the thing. It's all about surfaces. My mum is a dental nurse and she sends a very interesting— No, but yeah, what are you gonna say?

Tommy: I was gonna say, if you don't leave the house, you're not touching— The whole thing is transferring of germs from surfaces to your hands.

Josh: Bree went out, she went and got the coffee or whatever. And what do you think happens with that? And so the thing is that think about how many grimy germs are on your phone. Yeah. And so there was a great— there was a great article I put in the Facebook group, but my mum is a dental nurse and she sent it and it was by a dentist. And 30 years ago, there was the one and only transfer of HIV through dentists, and after that time they had really stringent conditions in regards to sanitising things and doing all of that. And so they were sort of saying, hey, when it— like, they were giving all these tips, and one of them is assume— like, imagine if the world had red ink everywhere, and every time you touch something you've got red ink on your hands.

Gemma: And then I was told glitter, which is very nice.

Tommy: That's right, that's me.

Josh: And glitter is an absolute pain in the ass too.

Gemma: Like, if you've ever dealt with someone that danced for 18 years, so yeah, I've still got glitter.

Tommy: You need to clarify what dancing if you're talking about glitter.

Gemma: Well, I mean, I might run out of money soon. No, it is pronounced Aesop, everyone on this chat, and I only learned that when I was in their office and everyone was like, welcome to Aesop, and I was like, yeah, absolutely, that's how I've been pronouncing it too.

Josh: It is quite the flex. When I said Aesop, it was a flex because I knew it was right. It's like, um, you have the choice of saying payaya or payala. Yeah, depending on how sort of international you are, depending on the crowd.

Tommy: One thing we want to clear up today is the poll that we did about whether or not you can eat, say, a packet of chips while shopping and then just scan the empty packet at the end. We'll get there. But today I got— this is how serious the people at Woolworths are being. I had to scan something. I needed to take something off. The scan. Like, I put 2 items through and I didn't— I only had $2, $3 in my account and I got something that was $4.

Josh: Okay, sure.

Tommy: I need to remove something.

Josh: Anyway, anyway, I am sorry I asked.

Tommy: The woman— I know you just made it look like a fucking piece of shit. Um, and I got marshmallows. That's all it was. I was just buying marshmallows. At least I got 1 packet for tonight.

Josh: Great. Which marshmallows did you go with?

Tommy: I had to go the cheap ones because the Pascals were $3.50. So I went the Woolworths home brand style.

Josh: They're actually more flammable though. You put them in the flame.

Tommy: Anyway, the woman at Woolworths told me to take a step back as she came in to fix the cash register, or the self-checkout. Said, take a step back, please. Whoa, what are you eating, Josh?

Josh: Some chippies.

Peter: Ah, great.

Tommy: No worries.

Gemma: We've got a special guest en route.

Tommy: We've got Shannon Tilney here up in the GC.

Josh: Hi guys, what are you drinking?

Gemma: It's a Peroni from me today.

Josh: Yeah, yeah, how would you—

Tommy: yes, I mean, that's it.

Gemma: No, no, I was at the bottle shop and I just, um, I was at the bottle shop and I was looking at beers and I was like, they're fucked, I'm gonna get fucked. They're so fucked right now. And I know that Buying Peroni is not going to help Italy, but still I'm like, oh man, poor Italy right now.

Josh: It's wild. Doing your bit. It's like me, all my Uber Eats orders or whatever.

Gemma: I'm doing my best.

Josh: Just helping the world.

Gemma: Yeah, I'm eating heaps of pasta for the same reason. I'm a really good person.

Tommy: Hands up if you've eaten more pasta in the last week than you have in the last month, 6 months, sorry.

Josh: Yeah, a lot of hands going up. I'm actually holding on to the pasta. Oh, Jesus. I haven't touched any of my beans really. I've got one can of my beans and one can of my tomatoes. Then the whole thing, until that time, until things get really bad, it's mainly the admin. I've said this before, but the admin of— I know that shopping centres or supermarkets are going to remain open, but it's more just the lining up.

Tommy: Hang on, hang on, hang on. Have you been to the supermarket since you've locked down?

Josh: Once, yeah. We went to—

Tommy: once.

Josh: We actually went to We've gone to sort of independent ones and we've had way more success.

Tommy: Yeah, there's, I mean, there's a bunch. You just, you get lucky.

Josh: Oasis Bakery was fucking great. If you're in Melbourne, Oasis Bakery, yeah, these big like lamb tart things and all this stuff.

Tommy: Anyway, so we've got Glenn here, mate. How's it, how's it traveling? A week on in Florida?

Glen: Not too bad. Yeah, everything's going pretty well over here. I have a hazy double IPA from California, from Stone Brewery in San Diego.

Josh: Right, did you just get that from the pharmacy? Because you can just get— you can get that shit anywhere.

Glen: I had to go for a bike ride for this tonight, uh, a little earlier tonight.

Josh: Really? Did you just get the one can or did you get a case?

Glen: Or no, there's a sixer.

Tommy: What do you pay for a six-pack of beer in Florida?

Glen: This was really expensive. This was— so this is an 8.1% from a very very questionable, questionable, um, store. Yeah, lots of glass implements.

Tommy: Crack pots.

Gemma: I think it was like aromatherapy vases.

Josh: That's it.

Glen: Yeah, that's how they label them. But this was $16. That's definitely more than I would normally pay for a six-pack. Usually about $10 for a six-pack.

Tommy: Glenn, one of those is Double, double and some. This is 3.5%.

Glen: Yeah, 8.1. Pretty rough.

Tommy: You're an animal. You're an animal.

Josh: They're all bigger in the US.

Tommy: Campbell James, how are you, mate?

K: I'm good, how are you?

Tommy: Yeah, good, mate. Good. It's nice Tully's not here to, um, you know, harass you. Yeah, harass me.

Gemma: Did my little compliment give you a nice ego boost this week?

K: Yeah, well, literally the whole week I've just been like Thank you so much, it's been amazing. That was so good.

Tommy: God, he talks a big game when he misses it.

K: She's right there.

Josh: Oh, Jason!

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, does she know that she can't hear?

K: I told her, she thought it was funny as well, actually. Yeah, you used to watch me.

Gemma: Yeah, I like her.

K: Who Tully was and stuff like that, so it was funny.

Josh: What about Gemma? Uh, I think she knows Gemma.

K: My sister knows Gemma. I think you spoke at like, she was doing some sort of, uh, This is Ramble, everyone.

Josh: No, go on.

K: Doing some sort of styling thing and you were doing like, um, you're doing like some sort of presentation. She's like, oh, I know her, like all that stuff.

Gemma: So stop it. What else did she say?

Tommy: Um, are you drinking? No, she's not being serious. When someone says something like that, Campbell, they're not actually asking.

Josh: No, no, that's right. No, Ramble, what do you think?

K: No, no, I was just playing along with it.

Josh: No, you weren't, man. I had to ramble.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah.

Josh: What are you drinking, Ramble?

K: Uh, some sort of white wine. Kat just went and got some, so she's actually doing her own Friday night drinks as well on a chat with some other people.

Josh: With who?

K: I think she's doing with one of her mates from school or something.

Josh: Oh, that's nice.

Tommy: It's pretty— sounds pretty lonely, to be honest.

Josh: Uh, let's go to, uh, Shannon doing puzzles or something. What's— yeah, what is that, Shannon? What are you doing?

Gemma: My kid is up in my grill and he keeps like moving everything that I've got my phone set up on and he's just knocked my beer over, knocked my puzzle box over.

Josh: And now I'm providing free—

Gemma: He doesn't mean to be destructive.

Josh: Oh, really? Oh, here we go. Hang on. There we go. It's a disaster.

Peter: I wasn't—

Josh: G'day, Pete Shepherd. What's going on, mate?

Gemma: You're welcome.

Peter: What was the situation, mate? I've been sitting in the green room for 20 minutes.

Josh: No, sorry.

Tommy: Yeah, we leave the guests in there.

Josh: Did you get the free drinks? We do free drinks in the waiting room.

Peter: Thanks for the crystal clear water. It's beautiful.

Josh: We're just going, we're just going through what everyone's drinking.

Tommy: Looks like yours is pretty boring. We'll jump over to Russ.

Josh: Mate, what are you going for?

Tommy: Should you take over the unmuting?

M: Just a nice Mountain Goat beer, whatever's on special at BWS. So go in the tight-ass range. But like Hayden, I've been on the Aikido as well. So just only recently jumped back onto the beers.

Peter: Alrighty.

Josh: Yeah, Whitey's on the keto. And so what do you, what have you been eating on keto?

M: Just trying to keep off the pasta and the rice, really. So really boring, but lots of meat and cheese. So nothing wrong with that.

Josh: How are you feeling?

M: Eggs and avocado. Yeah, lost about 10 or 15 kilograms.

Tommy: 10 or 15? Mate, that's a lot.

Josh: That's a good effort.

M: So F-45's been good as well, but it's all been closed down. I thought, well, I think this is where we all just let ourselves go again.

Josh: Have you got a plan of a rebrand? Like, I'm thinking starting Monday I'm going to work on a bit of a rebrand.

Tommy: Starting Monday.

M: I'm just so tired. I think I just need a break. I think it's just a good break. Work are doing full shutdown over Easter, so I think it's just a good time to have a break and just have some me time.

Josh: So, you think Easter eggs?

M: No, just, I'm not a big chocolate fan other than Hey Tiger, so that's about it.

Josh: There we go. How's the plug?

Peter: It has to be, it has to be be, you know, something reputable and dark.

Tommy: So, yeah, Russ, you work with Telstra. I mean, anyone who has a query that can't get through to customer service with Telstra, just tip me up, we'll unmute you and send you over to Russ.

M: Do a good deal for Gronkhs, just put in the coupon code Gronkhs at checkout.

Tommy: No, but here's an actual question. Because they're so flooded with people calling, it's like impossible to get through and say, if you need to call them, I need to speak to them about applying the credit that they told me to call back once it comes through.

M: They made this great app for us to use. So when we're at barbecues getting hounded by friends, we can just open up the app and put your details in and you go straight to the front of the queue. So let me know if you ever need a hand.

Josh: Oh mate, what's some examples of what people use? What a pickup line that one is.

Jordan: That's unbelievable.

M: Yeah, stuff the toilet paper.

Josh: Yeah, yeah, you're going over your data. I can sort you out.

Tommy: Russ, have you ever used that to pick up? Let's be honest.

Gemma: No, mate, no.

M: It doesn't work, unfortunately.

Gemma: Bullshit.

M: The minute you say Telstra, usually it's like game over.

Tommy: Yeah, well, Josh has got a digital chubby right now.

Derek: I'm loving it.

Josh: I mean, if you can't— if Russ can't win, imagine the guy at Vodafone trying to win. Absolutely.

M: I still can't get over our walkie-talkies. That was just—

Josh: oh yeah, that was good. It worked. Oh, perfect.

Tommy: It's unbelievable.

Josh: For people who don't know, Russ did around a year ago— he was working out of the office on Collins Street at Telstra, and I was on Easy Street in Collingwood, and we actually did walkie-talkies.

M: Great content, that was.

Josh: Yeah, it was really good. Unfortunately, we lost half the episode because we knocked the cable out.

Tommy: Yeah, it's the only episode episode that we have managed to knock a cable out and it wiped the whole card.

Josh: Although, do you reckon, should we upload the episode where we fucked the ISO?

Tommy: Oh yeah, that was a good one. The best. Yeah, that's just a little extra content.

Josh: I don't think Seb's liked it though. What didn't you like? So it was in Santa Monica. We did an episode.

Tommy: I mean, we were like whining a little bit, but it's okay.

Josh: We're complaining.

Mason: Yeah, that's the whole show anyway.

Tommy: But the grateful for being able to get over to America while we still could. Sebs, Josh and I were talking about this. You went to— it's like, I mean, you've been with your family overseas.

Josh: Yeah, just like that.

Tommy: But you wouldn't have got to America all expenses paid if it wasn't for us. Is that what I'm saying? Say thank you.

Josh: No, that's fair. Or if it was today, yeah, it wouldn't be happening.

Tommy: Emma is up in Brizzy, or are you in the Gold Coast?

Gronk: Yeah, I'm on the Goldie.

Tommy: Goldie. Yeah, I mean, not far from Brisbane. Josh, I'm not that far off.

Gronk: Not that far off. So I'm drinking an Italian Pinot Grigio. I couldn't pronounce what it's called, but I got my daylight savings times mucked up, so I had to race home from work to get here.

Gemma: But all good.

Josh: What's going to happen?

Gemma: Emma's my new housemate. I'm moving in.

Tommy: Oh yeah.

Josh: So what's going to happen? So I believe that we're actually going to change the clocks very soon. Can anyone put up their hand who knows a lot of details about changing the clocks in Melbourne?

M: Ramble, ramble.

Josh: But what do you know?

K: Uh, I heard through the grapevine it's the 5th of April and it's gonna be the worst day of my life because I hate it when it changes back.

Josh: And so why?

K: Because I normally ride after work and stuff. Um, so the extra hour is just nice and handy, mate.

Tommy: What do you mean work, man?

Josh: Where are you working?

K: Not anymore, that's the thing.

Tommy: Good old day to go for a ride.

Josh: Yeah, so the grapevine, like, it's— we've known about the whole change for a while, haven't we? Is anyone— Does anyone know anything more than that about what's on?

Tommy: Shannon mentioned the change.

Gemma: I think it's the first Sunday of April because I used to live— I'm from the border, so I usually live in Coolumgatta. So, like, yeah, I live between Queensland and New South Wales, and it's usually the first Sunday of April that New South Wales and— Sorry, and Victoria and the other states that do it, wind their clocks back an hour. Okay, go away, go away. Yeah, so should be the first Sunday, whatever that date is.

Josh: I feel like Leah would know. Leah?

Gemma: No.

Tommy: You don't know?

Josh: What are you drinking, Leah?

Gronk: Oh yeah, okay, so it's a Shadowfax cuvée.

Gemma: Cuvée?

Gronk: I don't know, I think I say everything wrong.

Gemma: Yeah, that's correct. No, no, you did it right. Okay, good.

Gronk: First aid song.

Josh: Yeah, I know.

Gronk: Changing my life.

Josh: What year is it?

Gronk: What year is it? How do I know that?

Josh: I don't know. Doesn't tell you?

Gronk: I'd say it's recent.

Gemma: Can I say recent?

Tommy: What, because it tastes shit-ass?

Gronk: It's just doing the job and I'm just ignoring everyone around me. There's a lot of chaos, so who cares, right?

Josh: No, appreciate that.

Tommy: Scooter Dez. How are you, buddy?

Derek: Oh, hang on, wait.

Josh: What's wrong?

Derek: I'm sorry, I wasn't looking. I was trying to order some new glasses.

Josh: What sort of glasses?

Derek: Well, you know, you wait and wait. The same glasses, but in this beautiful blue.

Josh: Is this this quirky company where you sort of, you can knock out your old ones or something and put in new frames?

Derek: Yes, Dresden Optics. Middle-aged dudes are all over them because The freedom of choice is not there. You just have to have the same frame. It's a whole shop with the same frame.

Josh: Whereabouts are they based?

Derek: I think Sydney. There's one in Brunswick, probably.

Josh: It's all online.

Tommy: Are you not drinking, Scooter Derek?

Derek: I'm having a coffee.

J: Where from?

Josh: We've lost Scooter.

Gemma: Oh, I'm sorry, mate.

Derek: I don't know whether to tell you the truth or not. From Magpies.

I: Magpies.

Derek: Delhi.

Josh: Sure. How's your internet going, by the way? We were talking about it this morning. What are you getting?

Derek: Did you see my— I was— when you did the, uh, when you started this stream, I was in the cafe waiting and I was starving. I had to do a 3-hour live stream recording Zoom thing meeting, and then I was dizzy with hunger and the lady in the shop just kept on going on and on about all this advice on gargling and all sorts of shit, and I'm like fading away. And then the thing said, daily talk show starting. I went, fuck, give me my food.

Josh: I want to be— So where was this? What street is it? You and I?

Derek: This street, yeah. And then I saw you changed cameras, and I went out and flashed my boobs from the middle of Smith Street.

Josh: Really?

Tommy: That's great.

Gemma: God, if I had a dollar.

Derek: I love it.

Josh: I appreciate that. Could you actually, Scooter, could you do a treat for all of us now? Could you go out to the— I'm going to go to the shot right now. Here we go. There's Melbourne. That's live right now from Smith Street. Can we get a shot of you, Scooter? Can you go out of your office?

Tommy: He looks like he doesn't want to have to do it.

Derek: No, no, let me, let me say something. So you pop up as the speaker.

Josh: 1, 2, hello.

J: Hi.

Josh: There you go. You can use the grid view as well. So you need to go— if you go outside of Pavlov's Duck, I reckon you're not using grid view. I know.

Gemma: Yeah, what are you?

Derek: I know I had to change it to gallery.

Josh: Gallery. Sorry, gallery is what you want.

Derek: Yeah. Yeah.

Tommy: No, no, you don't want to do that.

Josh: Yeah, you don't want speaker. But can we get you— can we get you going past in one of those bits? I reckon if you go outside on the right, that shop on the corner. Yeah, on the right. If you go on Rose Street, if you go on this corner of We're in the White Counties right now.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Rosemary.

Josh: We would absolutely love that.

Derek: You know what? I just, I was dizzy with hunger a minute ago, so this is going to be hard.

Josh: Okay, so this is about half a kilometre away. Mute me in case the kids— Okay, we've muted you.

Gemma: Didn't even wait for the end of the sentence.

Tommy: Just quickly, Sevs, I know like you've, you've had one sip of wine with us at dinner. Yeah. What, how are you going? I just saw you sort of neck the last bit of that drink.

Mason: There's a tiny bit left.

Gemma: I'm doing well.

Mason: It's actually not that bad.

Tommy: See, Pinot Noir. Grace is nodding excessively. I've never seen someone nod that much.

Josh: I should try whilst we can. Hang on, I'm going to try and actually zoom in. Hang on, which one?

Tommy: Yeah, that's Grace. That's great. That's Grace. That's great. Hang on, I'm going to open up to Peter Shepherd. How are you, Pete?

Peter: G'day, mate. Well, how are you guys? I'm just I'm just appreciating Seb's plant game at the moment. Very strong, Seb. Very strong.

Tommy: Well then, yeah, it's a bit annoying to be honest. It's, um, I get nothing on my, uh, just toy— you got storage box holders in the back.

Peter: Bit of a bookcase vibe, bit of a Seth Godin vibe, Tommy. I'm okay.

Tommy: Is it Seth Godin?

Gemma: Hang on, look at Russ. There's room before. What's Russ doing?

Tommy: Tribe of Mentors. That's about it.

Mason: Russ, are you moving your plants around?

M: Yeah, it's the first plant I ever bought this week. The local cafe, because they can't sell food anymore, they're now selling plants.

Tommy: Oh, that's nice. That's sad and nice. Are they doing herbs at least?

Gemma: Looking forward to the day Seb's right to drink is good.

Tommy: Hey, I'm just going to jump from you, Pete, and we've got Jess here. Hey, Jess.

I: Hey guys, how are you?

Tommy: Yeah, good, good. Nice to, um, Talk to you.

Gemma: Likewise.

I: I got to join the Daily Talk Show posse.

Tommy: Yeah, I'm glad you're here. What are you drinking?

I: I'm drinking a little Shiraz.

Josh: Beautiful. What year? What are we talking?

I: It's a 2014. I just looked because I was like, when Leah got asked about hers, I panicked and I was like, crap, I don't know the year of my wine. I better go and make sure I have it.

Josh: 2014. That's quite nice, isn't it? Is this a working from home hat?

I: Are you doing what I'm doing, which is just Yes, well, I actually just went out to do some exercise in the park and then I have hat hair, so I was like, I can't really take it off if I want to join this.

Tommy: I appreciate it. Has anyone not got pants on? Is anyone— just any hands up for any questionable lower half?

Josh: I mean, what are you doing, mate? What do you got? Here we go. I've got pants on. I'm just I'm joking. Here we go. What's Jordan got on? What are you actually—

Jordan: I've got pants on.

Josh: Okay.

Glen: Yeah.

Josh: All right, here we go. Is that— that's not Scooty yet, is it?

Tommy: Just quickly, Jess.

Mason: Scooty's just walking around there.

Tommy: Yes, Tommy. Your Instagram, I think it's changed now, but it was weddingsbyjess.

Gemma: Yeah.

Tommy: Zero weddings ATM. What's going on?

I: Oh my gosh. I think the whole wedding community was so stressed the week before they made that official call because we've had couples trying to push the line and see how many people they could get with all the restrictions and everything. And then they finally said that they want to have, you know, 5 people at a wedding only. And we still— I still had a couple that messaged me and said, if we have 2 extra people from the 5 that are in another backyard looking over the fence, standing on your crates. Is that okay? Like, can we allow that?

J: Wow.

Josh: Can we just cross to Scooter? Rose Street and Smith. We're seeing Scooter walk up. He's above Pavlov's. He's near Pavlov's duck right now. This is exciting times.

Mason: He's actually on his phone. Can we turn his mic on?

Josh: Yeah, there we go. Hang on. I'm unmuting him now. You're gonna have to give us permission, Scooter.

Derek: Hang on.

Josh: Yeah, baby. There we go. Can you just give it— can you just show us your tits, please? Risking my—

Derek: I'm risking my fucking life out here.

Josh: Here we go.

Peter: All right.

Josh: Show us your tits. Here we go. Ready? 3, 2, 1.

Tommy: Flash. 1.5 metres away from people.

Josh: I literally cannot see the— Oh, it's a picture of them on a bit of paper. Yeah, I can see the paper, Scoot. Show us your breasts.

Derek: Yeah, they're on there.

J: It's a picture.

Tommy: No, he's got camera shy.

Josh: He's happy to flash his clothes, by the way. It's usually some big dollars to show the old— uh, what's it— what's the vibe outside on Smith Street? Oh no, here we go. Are you, um— how's the vibe outside Smith Street? It's kind of pretty quiet. Let's go.

Tommy: Um, so hang on, just quickly, guys. Bodhi, I suppose, is open.

Josh: Macpac is open. Good to know. Hang on.

Mason: Oops, that's an absolute nightmare.

Josh: Oh, sorry, sorry. Anyway, I'm very tipsy.

Tommy: Okay, hang on. This is—

Josh: I'm done.

Tommy: Yeah, stop talking, Josh. This is, um, I got this today. Well, it's addressed to Bodhi.

Peter: Hi, Bodhi!

Tommy: We're social distancing from my mother. My mother's 70 and I love her. It's not an excuse not to see her, coronavirus.

Josh: It's a good excuse, I think.

Tommy: It's a good excuse if you don't want to see her, but I want to see her because she's my mum.

Josh: It's a good reason not to see her is you don't want to kill her.

Tommy: Yeah, that's the thing. And so anyway, she sent an Easter egg to Bodhi for next week for Easter, and Bodhi sort of found it out the front, and I've said he can't open it. But what do you guys think?

Josh: I definitely hope— look, it depends. So can we talk about this morning in the car?

Tommy: What happened in the car?

Josh: I told Bodhi off. So, Bodhi was being very noisy and you were being the classic dad, just letting it sort of happen.

J: Baby Rambo.

Josh: And I was like, you know what, I think he needs to be quiet. So, I said, Bodhi, be quiet, please.

K: Yeah.

Josh: And he burst into tears. Did I cross the line?

Tommy: No, but you can make him cry at the drop of a hat.

M: Yeah.

Gemma: Bodhi and I had a beautiful chat during the week. Did we talk about Transformers?

Tommy: Oh yeah. Hang on. Gemma's here. Say hi to Gemma. Bodhi, hi. You talked about Transformers, remember?

Gemma: We talked about Transformers. Yeah.

M: Gold.

Glen: Yeah.

Josh: Hey, Bodhi.

Gemma: That's the content we all signed up for.

Josh: Have you had a good day, Bodhi?

I: Yeah.

Jordan: Yeah.

Josh: Good. All right.

Peter: Great.

Josh: Really solid banter.

Gemma: Yeah, good banter has taken on a whole new meaning.

Tommy: Anyway, he's opening it. You think I should? Hands up if you think I should let him open it.

Josh: Open what, the Easter egg?

Tommy: Yeah, just the box at least.

Gemma: I don't think you should.

Tommy: Yeah, there's a lot of hands going up.

Josh: You're a little asshole this morning. I don't know. Shannon, what's wrong? What, can you not call other kids little assholes?

Gemma: Probably not.

Josh: Okay, thank you. There we go. Scooter, can I call another person's kid a little asshole? Uh, oh, not, not in front of the parents, but anyone else. Thanks, Scooter. No, I think if it's it, can you, if you give it to him, can you say Josh said you can have it?

Gemma: No.

Josh: Do you want a biscuit?

Gemma: He's got headphones on. He doesn't know.

Tommy: Instead of the box, I give you chips. Okay, no, I shouldn't. It's for, um, yeah, but I think my mum wanted to see— my mum's feeling it, right? Like, wants to make sure that he gets something for Easter. I mean, she could have dropped it over, it's a bit far to drive.

Josh: So how did she get it to you?

Tommy: She express post. Oh wow, express post, and it came. She put— she was at the post office yesterday.

Gemma: And how good a postman They're just doing their jobs.

Tommy: Yeah, we're getting a lot of nods here. We've got a clap from Grace.

Josh: I've actually got all the, um, the Daily Talk Show VIP Gronkh letters are going out tomorrow. So that's exciting. This is only like, this is the amount I need to still write. Seb, you were talking about, um, watching Netflix with friends.

Mason: What's it?

Josh: What's the app?

Tommy: There's a, there's an app called, I think, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's it.

Josh: What's it called?

Mason: Netflix Party.

Josh: Okay.

Mason: It's a Google—

Tommy: Netflix Party?

Mason: Yeah, it's a little Google Chrome extension that you can install.

Josh: Okay, so Grace, what movie do you want to watch on Netflix?

Gronk: We could do You've Got Mail or Notting Hill.

Gemma: I was going to say Notting Hill.

Josh: Notting Hill is so cute.

Gemma: Normally for a date I would say scary ones you can cuddle up to him, but like—

Gronk: But, well, you're definitely not.

Tommy: No, I have a movie for you and I think, I think Dodge will agree. It's called The Big Sick. It's so good. Have you watched it? Me or Grace?

Gronk: Oh, me?

J: Yeah.

Gronk: Who are you talking to? I haven't watched it.

Tommy: Oh, you can't.

Gronk: Actually, I have watched it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Josh: Oh, no.

Tommy: Again, you can't watch that. You can't watch a movie that you've already seen.

Josh: Bree and I, before we actually—

Gemma: I'm from Sunny Hill.

Gronk: Oh, sorry, Josh.

Josh: Before Bree and I got together, she actually— we watched— she made me watch—

Tommy: The Restraining Order, right?

Josh: No, she made me watch the Ryan Reynolds film Just Friends. Which was quite hurtful. It's all about this loser that likes a girl.

Gemma: Such a weird choice from her.

Josh: I know, but look at how it worked out. And so, okay, so Notting Hill, I think that's a great idea. And so, Gem, have you used this app?

Gemma: No, I haven't got any friends, but I've heard about it and it seems really good. I mean, why would I try to communicate with people when my parents keep delivering me alcohol and olives?

Josh: Yeah, what have you— how are your parents going?

Gemma: Yeah, good. Well, Mum still has to work because medical reception, and Dad's retired, but he's a bit like me, like he's just longing for the social side of it. So every time a delivery comes, he's at the front door and the postman's at the gate and he's just having a conversation. I'll film it next time.

Josh: It's endearing.

Gemma: I'm only saying that because he can't hear me. If he could hear me, I wouldn't be saying such nice things.

Josh: We've actually got a couple of other people, Bearded Fan, all the way from South Africa. What are you drinking, mate? Are you drinking anything right now?

N: Um, unfortunately it is, uh, only 8 o'clock in the morning here in South Africa.

Josh: Perfect, get it going.

Gemma: Yeah, have a—

Josh: what are you gonna have tonight?

Tommy: Uh, oh, here you go.

N: Hey, it's a Vintag Draft, which is probably the best mass-produced beer here in South Africa. It's actually made in Namibia. Okay, but it's the best beer to have.

Josh: What's the vibe in South Africa at the moment?

N: Um, so we had official lockdown last night at 12 o'clock. So I'm very interested to see what's going to happen today.

Tommy: What does that mean? What does that mean?

N: Uh, everyone has to stay at home for 3 weeks. Um, uh, all businesses are closed. The only places that are open, the pharmacies, supermarkets, and, uh, I can't remember, very little. I'm just very interested to see how they're going to enforce it because I'm sure they're going to be some South African gronks trying to, um, you know, screw the system.

Derek: Yeah.

K: Um, I don't know.

J: We'll see.

N: We'll see. But the vibe is, uh, everyone's like shocked actually.

Tommy: Last night, uh, my wife was, um, on FaceTime with her best mate in Norway. Norway's a very, um, rich country and they've gone into lockdown 2 weeks ago and they initially said 3 weeks. And then they just came out and said, we're going to reassess in April 20th or something. And we're going to do 3 weeks every time we reassess. So they reassess the numbers and then they lock everyone down for another 3 weeks. That's full on. Like at the moment they're predicting like 6 to 8 weeks already of lockdown, but that's considering it goes well.

Josh: So is there a sense that people are stocking up in Norway or in South Africa? Oh yeah.

N: Look, um, uh, so we found out on Monday night that there was going to be a lockdown and then, uh, probably Tuesday everyone hit the supermarkets. And when I went in there on Wednesday, there was no tin food left at all.

Josh: Toilet paper an issue there?

N: Uh, no, no, no, no.

Gemma: That's just us.

J: Yeah.

N: But I believe in Canada and also in the US, they also had a problem with toilet paper. I'm not too— I still haven't worked that one out yet, but I'll tell you which, which, uh, which store got hit the hardest was because, uh, for the next 3 weeks, all the bottle stores are closed, all the wine shops.

Glen: Really?

N: So So on Wednesday, yeah, there were queues out of the bottle shops.

Josh: It's what they're doing.

Tommy: We're doing basic, aren't we?

Josh: They're doing limitations here already, I see. But it's like 96 cans of beer. I saw Ryan John do an Insta story.

Tommy: Yeah, it's like 4 slabs maximum.

Josh: How much are people buying?

Tommy: What are you doing?

Josh: Pretty absurd.

Tommy: Bodhi's drinking the water from the ice tray.

Josh: Perfect.

Tommy: It's melted.

Josh: Great.

Derek: Perfect.

Josh: Uh, Jake, you're, you're probably about, what, 800 metres from my joint? Uh, how are things? And, uh, what are you drinking? I'm drinking kombucha. Lovely. Um, very Collingwood.

Mason: Um, homemade, or is it?

Josh: I'm also, I'm also drinking, um, the water from the ice tray. The drink of choice.

Tommy: Now he's eating the ice. Get around it. Oh, now he's got chip. It's all happening.

Josh: How are you going though? You working from home?

Mason: Not yet.

Peter: Still working from work, but I took it off because I couldn't be bothered with Corona anymore. Yeah, I think it's a free day for me.

Josh: But yeah, it's been pretty busy. Yeah, it's funny how like I just assume that everyone's working from home. Hands up if you're going into a place of work at the moment. I'm curious. Emma, you're at a uni?

Gronk: Yeah, so unis are pretty much still remaining open because that's where they're doing all the research on the viruses. So not our uni though. We're not doing it. We're not doing that. We're not saving the world. But we've just had our— we brought our semester forward. So today was the last day of classes. So now Today was my last day going in and I don't have to go in anymore.

Tommy: What's creepy is the thought that the virus they have in some kind of vault or some kind of, you know, confined area, like they've captured the virus and they have it locked down to work on. I mean, how do you— what technically, what do you have? Because it's microscopic, you can't see it. I'm asking Emma.

Gronk: I have no idea. At my uni, we're not doing any of that research, but I know that just in general, unis are going to be one of the last things to shut down because of that, because of the fact they're doing research.

Josh: What do you teach, Emma?

Gronk: So, I teach a first semester subject called Critical Thinking and Communication, and they all have to do it at my uni. So, it's like a core subject.

Tommy: And how do you critically think about something like this?

Gronk: Oh, it's alright, but at the moment, my students are doing like essays on like pseudosciences and stuff. So, yeah, it's interesting. But yeah, but my students today, we had our last class and like I kind of get the whole people not taking it seriously. Like, they were all like sitting right next to each other and leaning over each other's laptops and I'm like, guys, move apart. They're like, oh, it's all fine. We're all just here, you know, they're not really, I don't know.

Tommy: Animals.

Josh: Did you see there was a guy in the US that licked a bunch of deodorant and then got charged with the terrorist act? You see this?

Glen: Really?

Josh: TJ, what's, what's about it? Are you literally allowing him to drink the ice?

Gemma: Yeah, I got a delivery.

Josh: Can you put him in timeout?

Mason: What is it, Gemma?

Tommy: Not bothering anyone.

Josh: Just test it.

Tommy: Time out, buddy.

Gemma: This literally just came and Mum brought it to me. Oh, it's not alcohol, but it's mixers, so that will be fine. San Pellegrino.

Josh: What's the difference between alcohol and a mixer? It just has other stuff in it.

Gemma: No, a mixer is what you mix with alcohol.

Tommy: Coke, no sugar, mate. That's a mix.

Gemma: That's a mixer.

Tommy: I was thinking, and I haven't gone down this thinking recently, maybe because I'm just too deep on looking at how fucked up everything is.

Josh: I'm done with the bottle, by the way, guys.

Tommy: You drank the whole bottle?

Josh: No, no, only half.

Gemma: Okay, should I have cherry and pomegranate with— actually, Jordan will know.

Tommy: Cherry and Grace is drinking from the bottle.

Josh: Oh, Jesus Christ. Sorry, there you go. What was it?

Tommy: Oh, it's water.

Josh: What was the question?

Gemma: Tangerine and strawberry feels like I would have it with vodka.

Jordan: Yeah, uh, just a more important note, can we get a pup date from, uh, Glyn's dog?

Josh: Uh, just unmuting Glyn. Glyn, uh, she's here, she's awake.

Glen: Kaya's doing good. She's really not sure what to make of, uh, me being around the house so much though.

Tommy: Yeah, absolutely pissed.

Glen: I spoke to my mom and she said she doesn't like getting woken up at 1 in the morning for podcasts.

Josh: That's great.

Tommy: Absolutely not. My mom even said she has to— she's been adjusting to my dad being home more. Um, oh my God, is that Pablo Escobar? Hayden Dibs? Jeez, look at this guy.

Josh: What's going on? Where's Dibs?

Tommy: Must be on another— I'm on the beach.

J: I'm on the beach.

Tommy: He's gone.

Mason: Really doubling down on the virtual backgrounds. I think George— George is on the beach.

J: George and Cat and Ramble are with me.

Josh: Hey, hey, though, you do a bit in hospo, is language and all that— are they all closed?

J: They're all fucked. Like, most, most hospo businesses are really struggling at the moment. Any, like, business that was doing really, really well at at a certain point has completely just— it's just gone straight down.

Josh: And what do they communicate if you're safe? You're working as a cook at a cafe, you're fired. What do they— what do they say? What do they— how they— like, it's not just you're fired, is it?

J: Just not— they can say it's, it's just— well, I think that everyone understands the current climate. So obviously most people who work as chefs shops or kitchen staff are expecting to go into work the next day and hear, you know, we just don't have enough work for you. And that's pretty much what's going on.

Josh: Hey, Pete, I think I saw you taking what looked like basically half a gym home. Are you actually— It was great. What's your gym routine like at home?

Peter: I've just been dialling in. I saw someone's playing a drinking game with the phrase dialling in, so I'm just going to keep using that phrase.

Gemma: Who's doing You're an asshole.

Peter: I think it was Leah. It was a great game. You guys say dial in every sense of the word.

Glen: Dial in.

Peter: Dial in.

J: Yeah, yeah.

Josh: We say classic as well.

Tommy: Oh my God, Brodie, don't drink my beer.

Josh: Can we have a—

Tommy: Brodie's on the drinking game too. He just grabbed my beer and—

Josh: What's the— Yeah, if we were to have a list, put it in the comments. What should our words be? Classic should be one of them.

Mason: Just say classic all the time.

Tommy: Lean in, says Rory. Yeah, outrageous.

Josh: Yeah, we say outrageous for sure. What about 100%? 100%? 100%? That's crazy. Let's go. Banter, banter, banter, banter.

Tommy: I said to you, mate, easy, easy. I said to you, admin.

Josh: Interesting. George, George, I want to call George out for a shit. Where's George? Yeah, I've got too many people now. Sebs, can you turn on George?

Mason: Yeah, sure, I can get George.

Josh: George, there he is. Interestingly, how often do we say interestingly?

Tommy: When you're about to say something that's not that interesting.

Mason: It's always Josh, isn't it? Yeah, it's not Tommy saying it.

Josh: Is it really?

Tommy: That's more a Josh thing.

Josh: I'm trying to explain to you dumb fucks when something's going to be interesting. That's what it is, George. Now turn off George's mic. I can't see him.

Derek: On the beach.

Josh: Interestingly, George is completely wrong. I've lost my— where I was at. Who are we talking to?

Peter: Pete.

Josh: Okay, mate. And then we're gonna have to finish up because I'm about to go to sleep. Um, yeah, what is it?

Tommy: I've already opened the present, guys, and this is what was inside. It's very cute, but now I'm gonna hide this from him.

Josh: Wait, is that actually chocolate or is that all inside this chocolate?

Tommy: I had one of those.

Josh: What sort of chocolate is it? What brand?

Tommy: It's one of those ones that grandma finds at some sort of random shop, and the chocolate probably tastes like shit.

Josh: No, I get it. I appreciate it. So Pete, what are you doing from an exercise perspective?

Gemma: Swim twice a day.

Peter: Swim twice a day. But my mate set up like an online Facebook group, and he posts a workout every day, and he gave everyone equipment. So I've just been Just doing these little home, home sessions. Went for a run yesterday, trying to swim, you know.

Josh: Oh, that's good. Are you still, are you still using your Whoop?

Glen: Yeah, mate.

Josh: And so a Whoop, for people who don't know, what is a Whoop?

Peter: So I guess it's an activity tracker, if you like, that gives you feedback on what your body's doing. It's the, the armband that Seb's had a complete meltdown about because it was tracking his sleep and he couldn't sleep and he completely Had a meltdown. I think that's another one, actually.

Josh: Take a drink. Take a drink. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. To finish up, let's, let's finish on screen time. Pete, what are you on screen time for the day, the week, the month? I don't know. What do you think?

Tommy: Let's do the week because it's Friday. So we'll go back to Sunday.

Peter: Pretty good.

Glen: I reckon I'm pretty good.

Josh: So you got to go into settings if you're on iOS, everyone.

Peter: So for the week. Daily average, is that what we want?

Tommy: The week?

Mason: Oh yeah, under week, daily average.

Peter: Daily average for the week, 4 hours and 6 minutes.

Josh: Okay, that's not bad. That's fine for me.

Tommy: Yeah. All right, I'll go, boys. Uh, 6 hours and 28 minutes.

Josh: 97.

Mason: 6 hours and 23.

Josh: I'm 6 hours and 38. Anyone more than 6 hours and 38?

Mason: Showbakers, 7 hours and 48 minutes.

Josh: Okay, here we go. Emma. How long have you got average?

Gronk: Oh, I'm 9 hours 20.

Tommy: And I actually have a job and kids.

Josh: This is outrageous. What are you doing, do you reckon? I don't know.

Gronk: I'm horrified.

Tommy: That's unbelievable.

Gronk: So mainly Messenger. It's because I'm an extrovert and I haven't been able to get out and talk to anyone. I'm on Messenger chatting to everyone all the time.

Josh: I get that.

Gronk: Yeah. Messenger's the most, then Instagram, then Facebook, then email.

Josh: Are you having to charge your phone multiple times in a day?

Gronk: Oh yeah, I'm actually on— look, it's on charge now.

Josh: You know what, you're a full junkie when you have one of those. Like, look, before I didn't want to bring it up because I didn't want to create panic buy, but I went and bought the biggest battery that I could get for my phone because if I'm on FaceTime—

Mason: 20 million amp-hours? I am.

Josh: 50,000? Yeah, 55,000. And so—

Mason: oh, Glenn's got one as well.

Josh: Yeah, this is where it's at, you know. If you, if you want to panic buy, fuck the toilet paper, have a shower.

Mason: He's got one.

Gronk: Oh, I need one of those.

Josh: Yeah, this is great. This will do you for, for a long period of time, the whole day. Uh, oh, definitely, you'll get multiple charges. I mean, it's huge. It's, it's the limit, I think, in what you'd be able to fly with.

Tommy: Not that any of this really Sorry, can I just say, Jordan Michaelides, where are you?

Mason: Mate, you can't.

Tommy: He just posted porn in our feed.

Josh: Did he really?

Tommy: I mean, don't click on his link.

Josh: George, what's happened?

Mason: George, just move out of the way for a second.

Josh: Oh my God, stay there, George. Stay there, stay there. This is unbelievable. Mate, what are you doing? This is outrageous. What did Jordan Michaelides post though?

Tommy: Look at George's background.

Josh: I can see George's background, but that's the idea that Jordan sent porn. What porn did George— uh, Jordan sent?

Tommy: Don't move, George, because we'll somehow this video gets taken off YouTube.

Jordan: It's blurred out.

Gemma: Hang on, can I do the cheers photo I did last week?

Josh: Oh yeah, great. Okay, everyone bring up your drink.

Mason: Okay, ready?

Josh: Hang on, everyone do it. Like, we'll do it and then take your own photo and post it and, uh, tag, uh, the Daily Talk Show so people think that people listen. Okay, here we go.

Tommy: Okay, you got none in there.

Gemma: Shut up. 3, 2, 1. Amazing.

Tommy: Well done, guys. Um, what, uh, one last thing. I just want to open up the floor I'll mute everyone else. Jordan Michaelides, on our podcast maybe 2 months ago, you said this coronavirus thing is not a thing. Maybe it's a thing. Have you got a follow-up statement to release? A response?

Jordan: I think I remember I said to you that I didn't account for the fact that it would kick off in China and the CCP would cover everything up. My mate's dad, using acronyms, Jordan, immunologist, told me that nah, this would be nothing.

Josh: What's your mate's dad doing right now?

Jordan: Uh, he works for the WHO.

Tommy: So what is that? What's that?

K: World Health Organization.

Josh: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so what's, what's the deal now? What's it, what's he, what's he up to?

Jordan: Oh, I, I haven't spoke. I don't think he's even spoken to his dad.

Tommy: Like, it's that he's, it's broken, it's broken the family. The misinformation is absolutely destroyed.

Jordan: It was definitely, it was definitely wrong.

Josh: It's actually— this sounds just like my mate who found out who the winner of The Bachelor was. His parents put thousands of dollars on the winner on Sportsbet, and it turns out it was wrong.

Tommy: But I mean, in fairness, there's a lot of smart people that were telling people, no, you don't have coronavirus, you don't need a test for it, you've just got the flu. And then she had coronavirus.

Josh: I watched a great video of a lady getting tested. It's the most horrendous thing you'll ever see. They're just just like right up in your nose.

Tommy: Oh, that is— I've heard that. I don't think it is necessarily that.

Jordan: Yeah, I've never been to an ENT.

Tommy: There's a bunch of other—

Josh: what's an ENT? Sorry, Josh.

Jordan: Acronym for nose throat specialist. They always stick something up your nose.

Tommy: Next week, Josh, they're releasing prick test kits.

Mason: Are they the 15-minute ones?

Josh: Oh yeah, sure.

Tommy: There is a bunch of other ways. You know what my mate yesterday was saying? He was just talking about when this thing, if there is a cure, like we want a cure. Everyone should just be going, we just want the cure, whatever it is, because it will, everyone will get a job again. The economy will shift. I mean, maybe not in 3 months.

Josh: Are you giving economic advice?

Mason: No, but think about it.

Josh: You sound like Trump, everything's great.

Tommy: No, but think about it. If there isn't a cure and we just start decreasing in cases, no one's going to Chadstone because everyone still thinks we could get it still. But if there is a cure, you'll be like, I'm going to Revolver, I'm going to put in 2-day effort, I'm going to get a few ekis, and it's going to be fun.

Josh: This is what I've missed in not drinking my whole adult life until the last couple of years is just the bullshit. Completely unqualified, just fucking absolute shit. I think if The Who did release an album and then they worked out what the thing was, And then fucking the monkeys in there would be all good. Yeah, um, a good reference. It's a daily talk show. Thank you everyone, uh, for coming. This is, this is my favourite part of the week, and, uh, I appreciate everyone.

Gemma: I was counting down to this, honestly.

Josh: It's so much fun.

Mason: You had places to be tonight, didn't you, Gem?

Gemma: Oh yeah, I had heaps of parties and stuff. I had to cancel all of them. I was gonna— I've been going to like new restaurants all week, lots of clubs. Yeah, but you know, I just wanted to hang out with my friends on Zoom.

Jordan: Is Taco—

Tommy: is Taco, um, no, mate, all restaurants are closed.

Peter: Are you serious?

Josh: I've got no— but takeaway.

Tommy: I mean, they should just close their business.

Josh: Scooter, what were you saying? I can't do—

Glen: there you are.

Derek: I wanna— I want you to do it, um, daily talk show choir on this. I think we should sing it out each time.

Josh: Okay, what do you want us to sing?

Derek: Group singing, you know, like Poms, how they love all that soccer chanting and even people in church. Well, I don't know, but why don't we all say something at once?

Josh: I'm going to unmute everyone. And what we'll say is happy Friday, Gronks. Okay. All right. So I'm going to unmute everyone. I'm going to say 3, 2, 1, and then when I say, I'll just do the whole thing. So you get a sense. I'm going to say 3, 2, 1.

Peter: Happy.

Tommy: And then we say happy Friday, Gronks.

Josh: 3, 2, 1. Happy Friday, Gronks.

Tommy: Hang on.

Josh: Ready? Yeah, I'm going to mute it. Unmute everyone. Okay, here we go.

Gemma: Here we go.

Josh: 3, 2, 1.

Tommy: Happy Friday, Gronks.

Josh: Wow, that was worse than what I was expecting.

Tommy: Yeah, he knows. Mute everyone quickly and let's get off this thing.

Josh: Hang on, I've actually unmuted again. Ah, fuck. Hang on, mute all. There we go. You know what? I think I'm the only one that's got audio. I'm going to unmute 97. I'm going to unmute TJ. Cam, any last words? Cam?

Gemma: Oh, me?

Peter: Hello.

Josh: Yeah, any last words, mate?

Peter: No last words.

Josh: It's been great having drinks with you guys.

Peter: Looking forward to next week.

Tommy: Great.

Josh: Thanks, buddy.

Tommy: Are we doing some announcement or no? We're holding off.

Josh: Yeah, let's— I'll do an announcement. Any last words?

Glen: No, thanks for another good few beers and we'll see you guys next week.

Josh: Thank you, Glenn.

Mason: Thanks for getting up at 2 AM.

Josh: Thank you, Glenn. And Grace, before we do the big announcement—

Tommy: Oh, that was the announcement.

Josh: No, 97. 97. Are you going to— I'll keep Grace muted. Are you going to invite Grace to a Netflix sort of date?

Mason: Yeah, it'll happen. We're also FaceTiming or Zooming tomorrow.

Gronk: So we are.

Gemma: Honestly, mate, if you don't, I'm getting involved.

Gronk: No, he's already done it.

Tommy: It's fine. Forget the standing at the front clapping for the—

Josh: Hang on, let's unmute all and let's just get a clap.

Tommy: Just clap now.

Gemma: Oh yeah, yeah.

Josh: Good banter.

Tommy: I'm glad we did it.

Josh: I actually—

M: Stand by on—

Josh: Can I just say, I'm just muting everyone. The Sev's, like this whole situation with Grace and Sev's is actually really, what does Victoria Devine say? I'm here for it. I'm 100% here for it.

Tommy: I'm here for it.

Josh: And so the announcement everyone, every time I tell someone this, they say, are you kidding? But what we've decided that we're going to do is starting Monday, we're going to be doing 2 shows Monday to Friday, every day, Monday to Friday morning and then afternoon. So then from a livestream perspective, you can join depending on the time zone. But also it means that we can have a guest on most days as well. So there can be just like us being gronks, ridiculous shit. And then also if you want a bit of MBS or Shannon Kennedy spitting great advice. There's that as well. So that's happening Monday and we're announcing it officially on Sunday. George has been working on the edit. I can actually see George. Can you see George?

Mason: Probably on the second page.

Tommy: George is here. How's the edit coming along, mate? Yeah, good.

J: Looking good.

Tommy: Great. Slight meltdown, but I'm going to get back into it now and drink.

Peter: It'll look good.

Josh: Great. Thanks, George. All right. Thanks, everyone. It's a daily talk show. If you haven't left a review yet, that's the currency. That's what we're going based on now, right? I think I can— What was that?

Jordan: What's wrong with Jemma?

Josh: What's up? What's happening?

Gemma: Two shows a day.

Josh: Yeah, Monday to Friday, and then we'll just do the weekend banter as normal.

Tommy: Yeah, we're just going to make podcasters that release one a week or every two weeks. Really annoying.

Josh: What do you think, Gemma? Do you think it's a bad idea?

Gemma: I just am so stressed about your, like, health and well-being.

Josh: Think about how many times you get to come on, though. Yeah, that's at least, uh—

Gemma: You have not had me on as a guest in ages. Feels like an eternity.

Josh: On Monday, we'll have you on Monday.

Gemma: I'm busy. I've got, I've got a party.

Josh: Kind of party?

Gemma: I've got a club opening.

Tommy: All right.

Josh: I would be the kind of guy to call triple zero on that, to be honest. You fucking would.

Tommy: Yeah, no, I'd appreciate that. That's the only time I'd appreciate—

Josh: no, 131 444 is the number that I like, which is sort of if you need police without the sirens. Yeah, like, guys, I don't know if I'm being ridiculous, but I'm hearing this thing and I'm just filling Pete in.

Gemma: He's on the same page as me.

Tommy: Okay, all right, keep your distance. Glenn wants to go to bed.

Josh: All right, thanks everyone. Talk to Daily Talk Show. If you wanted to be in the drinks, you can go to thedailytalkshow.com. /Gronks, you can do that. And also the VIP Gronks, this— your stickers are on the way.

Glen: I'm—

Josh: I've got 15 more notes to write, then we send them off. Sevs, do you have anything else to say?

Tommy: Nah, we'll see you tomorrow.

Josh: All right, see you. Bye guys.

Glen: Bye. Bye.
