From this episode’s transcript.
- –Polly Harding's relationship advice centres on communication and learning your partner's 'language of love' to keep long-distance relationships fresh.
- –Mason and PJ's prior radio marathons (a 56-hour and a 25-hour stream) taught them that sleep deprivation mimics drunkenness, caffeine should be saved for the hardest stretch, and alcohol during a marathon makes the comedown much worse.
- –Livestream hosts are advised to avoid playing copyrighted music on Facebook Live and to assume mics are always open, since it's easy to forget you're still broadcasting during breaks.
- –A documentary crew's innocuous request to ask 'one quick question' about being a fussy eater turned into a full home shoot with lighting and an unplugged fridge, resulting in Mason's recurring in-flight TV appearance on Fussy Eaters.
- –The hosts debate how explicit ('smutty') the overnight hours of their 24-hour stream should get, weighing audience expectations against shock value.
Questions this episode answers
What advice did Polly Harding give for keeping a long-distance relationship fresh?
She advised focusing on communication, learning your partner's 'language of love', keeping regular contact, and having things to look forward to in order to spice things up.
How did Mason Lauder end up appearing on the TV show Fussy Eaters?

What tips do experienced marathon broadcasters give for surviving a 24-hour livestream?
Avoid playing copyrighted music on the stream, stay physically active, save caffeine for the hardest overnight stretch, and keep mics open the whole time since it's easy to forget the stream is still live during breaks.
Episode TranscriptShow
Polly: The Daily Talk Show.
Josh: It's The Daily Talk Show, episode 714.
George: Georgie Boy here.
Tommy: Welcome back, everyone.
Jase: It's Tuesday.
Josh: I'm putting together all of the interviews from the 24-hour livestream that we did on Friday. And this is number 3 with Jase and PJ.
Jase: Such funny people.
Josh: I hope you enjoy this one.
Polly: Oh, that is hilarious.
Josh: Welcome to the future.
Jase: That looked like— that looked flash.
Tommy: It could have gone either way.
Polly: What are you licking? Like, literally just came into the edit.
Mason: It's, um, Gemma gave me some, um, ultra fine mist spray, and so I sprayed it.
Josh: But he's saying that he usually—
Mason: it tastes like watermelon.
Josh: He literally— the guests come onto the shot, so—
Tommy: okay, that's exciting.
Jase: You know why 97 wants to look good these days? I've heard girlfriend alive. Someone's got the misses.
Tommy: This is great. Yeah, please go on.
Mason: What an announcer. That's great.
Tommy: Go again, PJ.
Polly: Oh, sorry guys, I'm always that person who sees the comment in the background and then I have to repeat it and it's never as good the second time.
Jase: No, no, no, this is it.
Tommy: Everyone quiet.
Polly: It was a shit question, guys. Oh, I just said, have you changed your Facebook status? It wasn't even a gag, it was a question.
Tommy: Have you though?
Mason: No, I haven't. No, I haven't updated it yet. No, I probably—
Jase: yeah, I was just— just quick bit of backstory. Um, how long have you guys made it official. I know Tommy is loving this. Um, and also, I just want to confirm, you guys have never met, correct?
Mason: Never met. No, never met. It's, it's been probably been about 20 days.
Polly: Official, or since you guys have started chatting?
Mason: No, no, official.
Jase: Seb, I was chatting with J yesterday, and I came up with a great idea for the show to You want to pitch it?
Mason: Oh really?
Tommy: You do it, you pitch it.
Jase: Okay, what do you think about you setting off in a car, obviously an Uber because you can't drive, and you drive across to Perth and the boys just cheque in on you throughout the week? Because I can imagine you sitting at like some outback pub next to a redneck explaining the situation and how you're on the way.
Polly: What do you think?
Mason: That's a great idea. Oh no, I love it.
Tommy: That's great. How is he going to drive though? What, you going to—
Mason: No, Uber all the way.
Tommy: Cab charge. Do they still do cab charges at the radio station? Is that still a thing?
Polly: Damn straight they do.
Jase: Well, before Patrick Pubs and before—
Polly: Yeah, true.
Jase: There used to be a thing where if you could save them up, because they go scarce around here about September, they dry up. But if you save them up, then you pay out of your pocket for short trips and you save the cabbies for the big one.
Tommy: What's the biggest— what's the biggest cab charge that you've gotten, do you think, Jase?
Polly: It depends if Jase gets the fancy cars. The fancy cars are exorbitant.
Jase: Hey, producer Alex, it was about $400 out to one of our live streams we did out at the farm.
Polly: That's right.
Jase: Although I got— I did get a car to take the family and I to the airport for Bali, and I paid extra for car seats.
Tommy: Because you can do limo though. You can even use cab charge for limos and shit.
Jase: Yes, yeah, you can. As PJ knows, she gets high cars around.
Polly: I— oh, shut up! I am so really pissed off. Jase always gets the fancy car.
Jase: Yes or no, do you have a driver when you go to the airport?
Polly: Oh, because you guys— yes, look, I sometimes— sometimes.
Tommy: That's okay.
Josh: Yeah, I appreciate it. No, it's It's just as cheap. You pay $80 from Richmond to the airport.
Polly: Yeah, I'm so happy in an Uber though, but sometimes they're there on offering and, um, you can't say no. They've got little bottles of water.
Tommy: I mean, PJ, I feel like, um, you know, being in a long-distance relationship with BJ, you would have insight into this whole thing. How do you keep a relationship fresh? Any tips for Seb? Real fresh, real ripe.
Polly: I'm very glad you asked that. Um, communication, 97. Um, you know, you've got to work out her language of love. So, you know, uh, how did— how do you guys connect? Um, how often are you talking? Try and keep that up. Have something to look forward to and spice things up, 97. Get it, get creative.
Josh: And what she— what she's saying is, because last time we were on your podcast, you were talking, uh, Jase saw something in your phone that you'd flicked to your, your bf. Uh, at what point should Mr. 97 start sending tops off photos?
Polly: What was that?
Tommy: It was— he saw your vagina on your phone, I think.
Polly: Oh, there's no rolling. And By the way, that was many, many, many years ago when I was just a young cub. Uh, this—
Jase: no, no, no, Jesus, Polly!
Polly: No, no, no, yeah, yeah, okay, sorry, I was in my 20s. Anyway, uh, fine. Um, no, that's complete— no ruling, no ruling there.
Tommy: Just do whatever you like. In regards to like messaging, do you— a Snapchatter? Like, is it— should he just be fine with all of this stuff on iMessage?
Polly: Um, oh, what are the encrypted ones?
Jase: What have I always told you, Paul? I said don't put your face in the photo.
Polly: No face or identifying features. If you've got a very prominent mole on your left arm that everyone knows is 97, keep that out of it.
Tommy: Sure, tattoos and things like that.
Josh: His chest, his chest is pretty prominent and we all know it. His best feature, he reckons. That's what he said, best feature, my chest.
Jase: Tommy, I brought this up with Josh yesterday. I can't help but notice, um, definitely a sense of arrogance sneaking into the body. Um, just from '97, like, yeah, you can definitely detect a tone.
Polly: Yeah.
Josh: Oh mate, it's— and he doesn't even have access to the gym, so it's not like he's getting swole and it's his body that's doing the work. It's, it's all mental on his behalf. It's actually unbelievable.
Jase: I came in late, I, and I'd missed the relationship start, and I was driving along the other day and I only had to miss 2 episodes, to be honest. Like, and, um, 97, buy shares in the big picture company, buy these guys out, because it's definitely detecting a shift in management.
Tommy: It's ever since we've given him a camera, right? Like, he used to always be behind the scenes, you never get to see him. It'd be, you know, sort of just the little dweeb behind the mixer, and now he's got a light on him and he's You know what, jokes aside, congratulations, Seb.
Jase: I'm really happy for you. It's great. Oh, thank you.
Mason: That's so lovely. I actually just got a text from Grace saying, you are getting slammed. This is so great.
Josh: And that's why we love Grace.
Tommy: What do you think, PJ, on banter? Seb's— a big part of sort of Seb's flirting is banter. Any tips or thoughts on banter?
Jase: Can we have an example? Like, say if it was like— yeah, say if it was 1 in the morning, right? And PJ's great, and says, hey, because you miss her.
Polly: Am I sleeping?
Jase: What would we be— what would we be experiencing?
Tommy: Yeah, you'd be— at least your head would be on your pillow. Okay.
Polly: And then, oh, it's Sibs! Hey babe, go Sibs! Hey, hey babe, how you going?
Tommy: She's cringing already. No, I mean, I don't, I don't know what else you need.
Mason: The hard thing is you need like context. Like, it's always, it's, it's like banter. Like, she, she doesn't like anything digital, so it's always like she doesn't have Apple Pay on her phone, so I give a shit about that. And just every, all the other things, it's, I don't know, you need context.
Jase: Well, 1 o'clock in the morning, I think we know what the context will be if you're trying to wake her up.
Tommy: He's been going to bed at 4 AM. Yeah, go on, Teach.
Josh: I was just saying, I just did an Uber order because we can't leave our house and I wanted a coffee. Yeah, and I paid almost $8 to get this coffee delivered. Two just came to the front door.
Jase: Sorry, I just noticed as you rapidly got up with speed to get your Uber Eats, I couldn't help but notice amazing pants you're wearing. Where would I get something like that?
Tommy: I mean, is this—
Polly: is this—
Tommy: is this our— this is not our cotton. Oh no, it's a nightmare. Why are you— I'm wearing my cotton on.
Jase: I've got my cotton on.
Tommy: This is like when, um, uh, I, I saw around Billy Brownless, uh, do a credit for Uber Eats, and then they had to point out that they actually meant Deliveroo. He's doing a change. He's doing a change.
Mason: All right, Jesus, here we go.
Tommy: It's only these It's 10:40. I'm so sorry. Yeah, here we go.
Jase: Oh wow, I'm like, I'll try because they got sponsored by Cotton On Peach and I'm like, yeah, I'm gonna help them out big time here. I'll just slide it in so then that way—
Tommy: this is—
Polly: oh, there we go. Oh, oh yeah, tie-dye for the win! Tie-dye's back in, baby!
Josh: That is so good. Thanks, thanks for that.
Jase: Doing the show from home for 24 hours, um, with the missus and the little one. Like, are you off full parent duty?
Josh: Yeah, well, this morning he was on the show, made a cameo, and just all he was saying was, um, hello cheeky monkeys. That's about it, that's all he had. And he will get home at about 5:45, and then it's Friday night drinks, so we usually put him in front of the TV, and then I'll be good.
Jase: That's it.
Tommy: Yeah, right. Okay.
Josh: All right. And so she's on duty, she's on parenting. I'm saying that, right?
Jase: Right. Keep your voice down and stuff when doing the show.
Josh: Well, you know, I'm— we're quite affluent, we have a two-story townhouse, um, out in Berlin.
Polly: It's a rental, so it's a rental, mate.
Josh: We absolutely don't own it, they're selling it. We're actually looking for a place. You got an investment? That I can move into?
Jase: No, left wing, they won't record the show up here.
Josh: No. And so, um, yeah, I might have to whisper, but you guys, I remember you doing your— what was it, 40-something hours?
Tommy: 50?
Josh: You lost your voice.
Jase: 50-something hours.
Polly: 56 hours. We lost our voices and our minds.
Josh: What time did you lose your voice? What time is it?
Polly: Uh, I think it was like Thursday night. So we started on Wednesday morning, wasn't it, Jay? It was like 6 AM Wednesday morning, and it was probably like Thursday night, 7 o'clock. That's when things get really hard, really hard.
Jase: It's like you guys were saying the other day about, um, sleep deprivation makes you feel drunk, and it really does. Like, um, I mentioned to Josh yesterday, the hard bit with doing a marathon show— like, don't get me wrong, it's good fun, but then I reckon about 3 o'clock, so I think you guys are going to be like, oh God, like She's a long show we're doing. Yeah, tonight there'll be that tipping point. Obviously there will be because you're doing Friday Night Drinks, but you'll definitely start feeling a little bit like lightheaded, and that's when it gets really fun.
Polly: Well, that's actually— we, when we did our 25-hour, um, hug, that was another stupid thing we did. We got—
Tommy: not covered safe, is it?
Polly: No, no, no. OBS. Um, and we got really excited. We're like, we've got this in the bag, and we're like hugging, we're like, let's go to the bloody pub. So we go down to the pub and we start doing like shots on shots, and then, and we're like, oh, getting— we're like, this is gonna be sweet. And then we get back, we obviously— the hangover starts kicking in, and then the body just aches so much more, and we just— it was so much harder. And we had to literally just sleep on the bed with each other.
Jase: Here's a rock bottom moment for you guys, right? So we're doing this hug and we're sort of handcuffed while hugging. And these poor Black Thunder drivers, casual street team members, like, it was their first shift and they had to pull our pants down when we need to go to the toilet.
Tommy: Brought to you by Cotton On.
Jase: Hey, hey, hey, easy with the pants, they're from Cotton On.
Tommy: That's a good integration. Yeah, have you ever— what's the weirdest integration What's the weirdest integration you guys have ever done, do you think?
Polly: Uh, um, I don't know. What do you reckon, Jase?
Jase: We sort of— we're not— we're getting better. We gave away vouchers for ribs and burgers this week, and 3 days— for 3 days I was like, Monica, you've got a voucher for ribs and burgers. Monica, I can tell you now, their bloody lamb ribs are the best.
Polly: Get the lamb ribs.
Jase: And then it was day 3, Alex comes in, the producer, and goes, mate, they haven't done lamb ribs for about 2 years. They don't do what I put.
Polly: Nailed it. We really need the information laid out on a sheet right in front of us when it comes to this.
Tommy: Do you have a way of just like, if you guys get stuck in, you've said something wrong, do you have sort of a tick? Do you have like a telltale sign when the other knows that they've fucked up?
Polly: Oh, like when I started also in the same break going on a rant about how much I love pasta. Do you remember that, Jase?
Jase: Oh yes, we get over that, like in the same break. And I'm like, oh, that's awkward, they don't do lamb anymore, but honestly the pork and beef were amazing. And then not even 2 seconds goes by and Peter's like, bloody hell, I could go pasta today, couldn't you? How could— that's right, pasta is amazing, yet not available on the ribs and burgers menu.
Josh: Oh geez. Um, it's, um, it's, it's no Billy Brownless, uh, mistake. Josh told me yesterday what happened.
Tommy: JJ? Yeah, I just mentioned it while you're gone. Yes, I did mention Uber Eats as a credit. Said, ah, you know, we're going to be joined by blah blah tomorrow from Grilled Uber Eats, it's going to be great. And the producer—
Jase: we heard the story, mate.
Tommy: I'm sorry, sorry, this is the problem. This is the reason I was trying to do my first ever fucking reset in front of the Radioheads.
Jase: Didn't work.
Tommy: Was that not a good reset?
Jase: Resetting the show don't mix. Don't do resets.
Josh: PJ, what's your advice, um, for when it sort of gets into the middle of the night for us? What do you think? What should we—
Polly: what should we do? Um, can you guys play music on your stream or do you get taken down for copyright?
Jase: Yeah, damn.
Polly: Okay, well, that's gonna be my first question. Don't do that. Um, second of all, stop. Keep active. Maybe do some of these ones. Okay. Some of these ones.
Mason: Yeah.
Polly: Get the blood flowing. I love it. Get a bit cheeky. Do something a bit naughty. Get excited. But don't take— Oh, I suppose actually, you know what, 24 hours, you could probably do coffee.
Tommy: Oh yeah, coffee.
Polly: Just sitting back watching this train wreck take over.
Tommy: This is great content.
Jase: You guys flap your arms like a bird. It'll be 7 AM before we know it.
Polly: Well, we tried to stay away from coffee in the 56 hours. One because like inevitable crash.com. But I suppose 24 hours, middle of the night, maybe just, yeah, get jacked up on caffeine.
Jase: I feel like 24 hours is, it's almost bender time. Yeah, you can go in and do drinks, go coffee, you know, just go to Kino at 3 AM. Yeah, all that sort of stuff. But the thing was with the 56 is like Paige was saying, we avoided everything like sugary foods, coffee, like really, really bland.
Polly: We say that, but then it got to the sort of final hours and we were craving some shitty stuff. You know when you're really tired?
Jase: Remember I had a feed with 6 hours ago and then I thought I was having a stroke?
Polly: Good times.
Tommy: I mean, you guys being on radio, you've got sort of a code of conduct and all that sort of shit. We have fuck all to worry about in that regard. What do you think about smut? We're trying to work out how smutty the show should get in the sort of the evening.
Jase: Um, you want to say—
Polly: no, you take it, Jason.
Jase: I think it's like when we record our podcast intros and all rules are off so you can swear and stuff. I think it is cool letting the audience into that sort of bit more real and behind the scenes, but if it's 3 o'clock in the morning, some dirty internet creep on a webcam, then I just question, is this the audience who know and love you? Is this what they want to see?
Tommy: It's a good point. I was worried about Seb's. That was my main worry, so I'm glad.
Josh: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Tommy: But, um, yeah, with a question like that, well, no, we were just thinking of doing some sort of uplate thing. I already regret saying vagina on the stream so early in the day, but the—
Josh: but it was a fact. It wasn't—
Tommy: it wasn't— I know, but it was pretty— it was a fact, but there's a lot of facts that you just don't say, isn't it? But But, um, I just want to get a sense of, you know, how far we want to go. One of the suggestions I had, it's not a fully fleshed out idea, but it was, um, Sevs and I were talking about watching one of the, um, sort of the porn remakes where they like the parodies of a film and sort of, but the, the audience won't see it, it will just be our reaction. But I don't know how good that is from a content perspective.
Polly: It was really just the filter of smart Do you mean like Die Hard, but then it's like that kind of version of Die Hard?
Tommy: Exactly.
Josh: Saving Ryan's privates.
Jase: Yeah, that's John Wang, that sort of stuff.
Polly: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Are they not actual porn stars? Are they actual legitimate porn?
Tommy: Yes, legit porn.
Josh: Polly, they're porn.
Tommy: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they, um, they even, uh, I think there's cuts that don't— that where they take out the the, uh, the sex scene, so you can just watch the acting as well.
Josh: But, um, and there's a lot of— there's a lot of body counts and massacres, you know. It's still that same sort of violence and rumble tumble that you see, you know what I mean?
Polly: It's—
Tommy: so that's a no to this one then. I'm gay. I'm gay.
Jase: Absolutely. Streaming idea.
Polly: I'm, uh, good.
Josh: I'm glad we've run it past you guys. Jace, um, what are some other rules, like We haven't really thought. We called a board meeting at 8 PM last night because we hadn't worked out everything, and technically we still haven't worked it.
Jase: Record the show before you do a marathon show at 8 PM at night. I thought that was brilliant.
Josh: Yeah, I mean, yeah, we absolutely fucked it, but we've, we've won now that we've got you two in one screen. This is amazing, Josh. Hats off to you. But Jase, what are—
Tommy: um, thank you, Frank.
Josh: Like, we haven't thought about going to the toilets and having showers or taking breaks? Like, you go— you went to SONGZ where you could act silly and shit.
Jase: What do you think?
Josh: Can you set out some rules for us?
Jase: Well, with us, um, when we went to do it the first time, it only dawned on us— no joke— with like 3 minutes before we're about to go live. We're like, oh God, we can't play the music on the live stream on Facebook or they'll pull it down. So with 3 minutes to go, we were like, wait, we're gonna have to keep the mics open the whole time to the live stream. Like you guys are, 56 hours. And you got to think, 40 hours in, there's no filter. So when you have an interview on, you're like, thanks so much, we can't wait to watch the show, 7 PM, Channel 10, thanks very much. And then you hang up. And normally you'd be like, we're never fucking having them on the show again. It's very easy to forget that everyone can still watch that. Um, so I— yeah, we had the mics open like you guys. I reckon with showers and stuff The key is you've got 3 of you, all 3 of you doing it all.
Tommy: Yeah, yeah. And we've got George, our editor, as well that can join in. I think it's— yeah, we can.
Jase: And he'll be fresh. I mean, he's only editing replay videos.
Tommy: He's actually already wrecked, which is pretty funny. But, um, okay, this is, this is good.
Josh: And so, but he gets paid on completion, so he, he won't get paid unless he finishes the full 24 hours.
Jase: Here's one for you, um, and I've got to get PJ's permission.
Tommy: Oh, sorry.
Josh: Oh, that's a put you to bed one, isn't it?
Tommy: Is that too much?
Jase: No, no, you're going to wait.
Tommy: I just had the Savvy Diet. I'm trying the intuitive eating. I'm just eating sort of whatever.
Jase: Oh my God, yeah, it's in the photo on the airport you posted the other day. That's way too much. You're gonna peak way too early.
Polly: What do you got in there? Bacon?
Tommy: Ah, yeah, it's a little bacon egg. It's looking quite good actually. It's like a little chutney.
Josh: It's got a small menagerie in there.
Polly: Yeah, so hungry now, Josh.
Jase: Here's a question.
Tommy: Yeah, go on.
Jase: We were chatting about this morning, it just randomly came up— death row meal, what would you go?
Tommy: Oh mate, that's one of, uh, Seb's dating questions.
Josh: Is it?
Tommy: Yeah, yeah, I put together 50 questions. This is a great question. Seb's doing a go— Seb's go for— what did you say, Chase?
Jase: No, no, it's just Great question. Just like, just before execution, what would be your meal of choice?
Tommy: Yeah, Seb's.
Mason: Oh, I mean, I'd go, um, poached eggs Benedict with like avocado and hollandaise sauce and salmon.
Polly: And wow, it's very nourishing for a last— you don't need nourishment moving forward. I'm not going to go—
Jase: sorry, Paul, most executions happen in the afternoon. I don't know if that's your subtle like, screw you, society, I'm gonna eat off the breakfast menu. Bird before you leave this planet.
Polly: But yeah, I like, I feel like you want to have something that's going to send you into a bit of a food coma, so then it's— you're going to be a bit more sedated for it, do you know what I mean?
Tommy: Like, well, the thing is, I mean, not to get too dark, but whatever you're eating, you're gonna shit out. Like, when that shit happens, like, you instantly shit yourself, but you're dead.
Polly: No, no, that's not— that's quite graphic, isn't it?
Tommy: Yeah, but so, but the Benedict, I don't know if that's a good— I was going to go with Mexican, the combination of Mexican canteen and nariwaran. Uh, you can—
Josh: yeah, I was gonna say chimichanga for you, Josh.
Tommy: Yeah, chimichanga. Do you know what a chimichanga is, guys?
Jase: Yeah, Paige made one the other day.
Polly: I made one the other day, deep fried burrito.
Tommy: How'd you deep fry the burrito?
Josh: Are you on death row, Polly?
Polly: Screwed it up.
Jase: Commercial kitchen.
Tommy: Wow.
Polly: I do not have a commercial kitchen. Get confirmed.
Tommy: Your chef has a commercial kitchen. Sorry.
Polly: Jimmy Chung is underrated though. Like, when you get a good one from a Mexican store, it's like the perfect mix.
Tommy: It's not a taquito, it's not a burrito, it's a chimichanga. And I just like saying the word as well.
Jase: It's actually Mexican. I make too many changes. Sorry, TJ, I just make too many changes to the menu. Like, I don't like beans, stuff like that. So if I'm doing a phone order with—
Polly: it's so difficult.
Jase: I would have complete anxiety for that 30 minutes until it rocks up. That something's fucked.
Tommy: Can I just say, like, um, not, not to call you out, but not eating mayonnaise is a bit of a bitch move. What's the, what's the deal with the whole mayonnaise?
Polly: Aioli, mayo, chipotle. Do you like chipotle? No.
Jase: No, it's the ugly cousin.
Polly: That's a distant cousin.
Jase: Mayonnaise family get together, chipolos there.
Tommy: What's your problem with mayo? Did you have a bad experience?
Jase: No, I just find it tangy. And I, to be honest, I really struggle to talk to people who like mayo.
Tommy: I used to have mayonnaise on roast. That's the only— when I was a kid, Mum would buy it in bulk. I just added to it.
Polly: Best Foods mayo?
Tommy: Uh, yeah, it was a— I would go actually like a whole leg. I, I worked out early on that the, um, the, the light mayo was terrible, like the consistency. Makes me want to vomit.
Polly: Uh, you want egg mayo?
Jase: What a bad childhood.
Josh: I feel like the person that doesn't have mayo also would take out the tomato from a burger. Is that you too?
Jase: Yes. Yes. No lettuce.
Polly: He doesn't eat tomatoes. Do you eat them cooked? Do you eat cooked tomatoes?
Jase: Yeah, like I'll eat— I love making like a pasta and chop up some cherry tomatoes, but they need to be like heated with soft consistency.
Josh: Have you met Trevor Long? I reckon you guys would eat well together.
Tommy: Yeah, tech reporter Trevor Long.
Jase: Oh yeah, we have a show.
Polly: He was on.
Tommy: We had a— we actually, we describe it as Trev's Menu because he goes to all the Apple events, but he doesn't like anything that they serve. So, they have, you know, strawberry-infused water. So, he has to basically go to a diner and have a milkshake. Because he can't eat any of the stuff that's at the Apple event.
Jase: We've had—
Polly: that's like your fancy events.
Jase: Yeah, we've had numerous fights because I'll get really socially embarrassed and like a tray will come around and we'll be like a MasterChef launch or whatever, and Paige will be like, Jase, you gotta try these. Oh, what is it? Oh, it's kumquat risotto or some shit. And I look at her and I'm like, no, I'm good, thanks. And then she'll make a scene. She'll be like, oh, Jase isn't trying it, what's wrong with the meal? And then we'll go, hey, like Jokes aside, like, come on, mate, don't do that.
Polly: It's not cool, man.
Tommy: Have you seen— there's a great show, um, it used to be on Netflix, but I think they took it off. It's by— it's on the network TLC, I think, uh, Freaky Eaters. You remind me of a freaky eater, Jason.
Polly: There's a, um, guys, guys, guys, guys, you've got some homework to do. Jase, a couple of years ago, um, and now I do believe it has been redistributed onto the ABC here in Australia, He sat down for a chat, um, for a specific show called Fussy Eaters, and Jase was identified as a super taster.
Jase: Okay, can I point out, Jake, super thanks to Jake Hawkins.
Polly: And he's sitting there in his home, he goes, I don't know why I don't like mayo, but I just never have.
Jase: Okay, this was the stitch-up, all right?
Polly: It was all serious, guys, like full gokko style. Yeah, honestly, it was Christmas. You've got to take it down.
Jase: Okay, it's called Fussy Eaters. It'll be on YouTube. Seb's already looking, I can tell. Um, Alex and PJ said, hey, some doco crew rang. They heard you talking about being a fuss eater. They're doing a doco, they just want to know if they could ask you one quick question. Look at all the eyes, they're all looking for it. And like, that was, it was a passing, guys, a passing comment. I'm like, yeah, cool, I can do a quick bit to camera. Next minute, a full documentary crew around at my house, so much so they want to unplug the fridge so there was no hum, so there's, so the audio was perfect. Lights are set. It looked like I'd been, I'd been done in a paedophile ring and I was on A Current Affair.
Polly: Oh my God, yeah, get it when you're actually sitting down and you're doing one-on-one because he looks like, it looks like a tell-all interview. It's amazing. On like aeroplanes as well for a while.
Jase: Yeah, we had people like ringing us going, hey mate, I just saw you on Fussy Eaters on board QF249.
Polly: You look great though, to be honest, they're doing it.
Tommy: It's great.
Jase: You look right.
Polly: Achilles heel. I don't like spinach. I don't like carrot, tomato. You've got to name it.
Tommy: It's slightly brand damaging, to be honest. That's all right.
Josh: How much did you get paid, Jase? Or what was the incentive for it?
Jase: I just remember Alex on the phone going, yeah, no, he can blank out 2 days. No worries, here's his address. Yeah, all right.
Polly: So good.
Tommy: There's, uh, Charles is on it. Charles from Bathurst, uh, he brought that up for us. He, uh, is helping us as a guest producer. He found us through you guys, and now he's helping us with the 24-hour stream.
Mason: Can you—
Polly: Does that mean we can take him back?
Tommy: Yeah.
Jase: Can you stop stealing our listeners?
Tommy: Yeah, definitely not. No, we can share, we can share.
Josh: I mean, Shannon—
Mason: Jace, Shannon wanted to know what the deal is with, um, you and Franco, and Franco becoming a Gronk and attending our Friday night drinks.
Jase: Well, there has been a sort of mutiny here at, uh, the studios because we found Franco's started distancing and hanging out with the Daily Talk Show team. We'll be like, oh, what are you doing this weekend, Franco? Nothing, nothing good, nothing. Franco's got video going. What'd you get up to? Oh, just a couple of catch-up drinks. The Daily Talk Show. That's third week in a row you and your little lads over there online having a party. Is there something we need to know? But I've, I've said on record on another podcast, if someone leaves here, we're going to make a play for Seb.
Josh: Really?
Tommy: Yeah, hashtag make a play for Seb.
Josh: Make a play.
Jase: I don't know, but I'm not even taking the piss. I was using him as an example of like, you know, just young people coming up in the industry. Not many people are willing to, you know, do the time and stuff these days. And like, you know, exactly what you've done, 97, is how I started out. A lot of people don't do that, you know.
Josh: So, but also, Jase, just don't, don't make the mistakes we did. Let him on the show. Look at the arrogance.
Tommy: Talent, right?
Josh: As soon as you sort of—
Jase: Jase, yeah, very strict don't hook up with listeners policy on this show. So he's gonna go over here, but yeah, I'm not, I'm not gonna put—
Tommy: we don't have to play the game who has the hotter listeners. But, um, I mean, our, our pool is, is slightly smaller, I think, pretty mainstream potentially.
Polly: You get quality, you get quality then.
Jase: Yeah, what's wrong with that?
Tommy: No, no, they're fine.
Polly: Smaller pool, and normally when you get a smaller pool to work with, yeah, it's actually a bit easier.
Jase: I think that, yeah, yeah, so we've got what, a couple of hundred ugly people listening?
Tommy: No, you've got, you've got great people, but you've just got to— you could just got the Good population, you know.
Jase: It's just watered down.
Tommy: Yeah, it's just a bit watered down. All right, uh, thank you guys for coming on. Um, that was, it was great. What are you doing for the rest of, rest of your day? Are you going to be meditating all day, PJ? I can just, I just imagine you in your little sort of, um, castle just chilling out with some incense and stuff.
Jase: What's Count Cash Friday, isn't it?
Polly: No, not Count Cash Friday. I was going to do a bit of yoga, a bit of chill weekend actually. We were saying earlier, we actually end up being quite social in the confines of our own house, but like, I'm just gonna have a bit of a quiet one, I think.
Tommy: Yeah, it does.
Josh: Connecting from a disconnected world. Hey, um, PJ, we've got a meditation teacher on at 1 PM. You should tune in. We're going to do a live meditation. Her name is Tammy Ruse.
Jase: Let me set an alarm.
Polly: Oh, I love that. Are you— so is that what time drinking commencing?
Josh: Uh, that's later in the afternoon. So we're going to go from Tammy Ruse, we're going to have on We're getting all our fitness stuff. We've got Steph Claire Smith and Laura Henshaw on the show. Uh, I know that's one of your little crushes, so yeah, maybe you can go back to back and then just come to Friday night drinks. You've got your weekend sorted.
Jase: So we gave our mobile number— we have our mobile numbers out on a live stream a couple of weeks back, so we'll just get random texts now and then. So obviously someone listens to our show, watches yours as well. I just got a text just random numbers. And I think Polly's hooked up with a few listeners in her time.
Tommy: That's good.
Jase: Remember, remember the one I got, the one-armed guy in New Zealand?
Polly: I knew you're gonna say that. Yeah, he was lovely.
Jase: Um, couldn't push you away. Uh, you came in and we're like, is anything gonna happen? And you were like, yeah. And we're like, what's going on? There's something weird.
Polly: Like, do you know him?
Jase: Is he related?
Polly: And you No, I just didn't want it like— I just did it. Yeah, yeah, didn't want to make it a big thing. He was a lovely guy and, um, and, and yeah, I think he's, um— I haven't really talked to him too much since. I think he's happy now though. But you know, we used to do— we used to do listening parties quite frequently and, uh, there were a lot of free—
Jase: free what?
Polly: Free drinks.
Jase: It was good fun. Different time, different time, different time.
Polly: Um, different time.
Jase: Paige was just going to ask— I meant to say it earlier, because sort of we represent the show individually.
Polly: Oh yeah.
Jase: If I was to have a few lemonades tonight and jumped on Houseparty or Zoom and dial back into The Boys, would that be— would that be allowed?
Polly: Ah, you can absolutely do what you want, mate. You represent yourself.
Jase: Okay.
Polly: You just said today on the show that you're having a quiet one and you're not going to jump on Houseparty.
Jase: I know, but this seems a bit fun.
Polly: He contradicts himself all the time.
Jase: It seems a bit fun tonight. I don't want to see Josh after it.
Tommy: Yeah, it could go either way. I'm actually— I've been sweating. It's cold, but I've got— I'm sweating. It doesn't feel good. Anyway, um, that's another thing.
Jase: You look like the proper guy's wife, that beanie on.
Tommy: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it does. But you know why? It's bloody great because it's from Cotton On. And, um, yeah, they do a good beanie.
Josh: So are these socks. My feet are cold, I'm putting socks on.
Jase: Hey guys, good luck today and, um, congratulations on 700 episodes as well.
Tommy: Thanks, guys. Thanks, legend. That means a lot. Thanks, guys. I'm gonna go see the, see the guys out. Um, you and, you and Seb, Josh, you gotta run the sting as well.
Mason: We just missed the, uh—
Tommy: oh no, we've missed the— hang on, come on. This is actually a disaster. Come on, what hour are we at?
Josh: 20. 20.
Tommy: Oh, we're at the 20 hour.
Josh: 20 hours.
Tommy: Oh, this is it. Hey guys, wait, hang on. Charles will see you out. I've got to do this sting. Okay, hang on.
Jase: All right.
