Food Hacks

Tommy: The Daily Talk Show.

Josh: It's The Daily Talk Show, episode 757.

Tommy: What's happening, guys? What's going on? It feels like a short week because it is a short week in terms of work-wise.

Josh: Um, good day to 51% of, uh, our audience that are females.

Tommy: Why?

Josh: Well, we've been doing this survey and I've been getting details. 40% of our audience are single as well.

Tommy: Yeah, I mean, you are that robotic guy.

Josh: What else do you want to know? But don't you think that's interesting? We have more women that listen to the show than men.

Tommy: What's the average earning capacity of a listener? I did say that someone's on $150,000 plus.

Josh: I was like, baller, baller. 22% is on between $66,000 and $80,000.

Tommy: That's a fair— that's, I mean, that's above minimum, above the average earning in Australia. But I think that ends up being most people.

Josh: What do you think about that bracket? Georgie boy.

Tommy: I'd love to be in that bracket.

Josh: Do you reckon more people own or rent? Rent. Yeah, only 38% of our audience rent and 36% own, with 26% living at their parents'.

Mason: Oh, that's me.

Tommy: I love that.

George: There you go.

Tommy: There you go. And if you want to do the survey, can people still do the survey?

Josh: TheDailyTalkShow.com/survey. Would appreciate it.

George: Love that.

Tommy: Love that. We can drop the ad at the end of the show. Last night, I mean, yesterday was fun, guys. Yesterday was fun. It's always good vibe when Tully Smythe is in the studio. And I was saying earlier that it's planned, planned fun. Yeah, it's, you know, you've just given it the descriptive word of fun. Doesn't necessarily mean it will be if you plan out fun. Yesterday was fun. Unplanned.

George: Yeah.

Tommy: And just having 4 bottles of Prosecco on a Wednesday. Starting at midday.

Mason: It felt naughty, didn't it?

Tommy: It was so naughty.

Josh: Do we think we've set an expectation to Tully that that's like a regular thing every day?

Tommy: I think, Tully, that's just her hurricane that she takes everywhere she goes. Next minute there's 4 bottles of Prosecco getting passed around. But I tell you what, there's nothing like a bit of Prosecco during the day to make you really ungrateful by the night.

Josh: What do you mean?

Tommy: I went to Maccas last night. Not for dinner. Had dinner, had a lovely dinner. Actually went out for pizza. Jesus Christ, it really went out the window yesterday. Great sort of great pizza with the fam. You know, you get there, the pizza man knows exactly what you want. Oh, Bodhi, I don't know where he's got it from, a movie, but he kept on saying to the waiter, hello, service man. Hello, service man. And he put on this funny voice when he'd say it. I was just like, mate, it sounds like an Adam Sandler film.

Josh: Has he been watching Adam Sandler films?

Tommy: I don't know. Hello, serviceman. As you know, he's the service guy.

Josh: It's a very American word. We don't say it in Australia, do we? I guess like service workers in the US because there's the tipping culture and that type of thing.

Tommy: Well, and then we ditched Bodhi with his auntie and Amy and I went for a little drive to drop off something for her work to a suburb close by. And there was a Macca's close by. And I was thinking, fuck. Wouldn't mind to get myself one of those new McFlurrys. Banana and caramel pie.

Josh: If you're basing your life decisions on whether a Maccas is close by, I mean, there's a Maccas everywhere. Everywhere.

George: Yeah.

Josh: You'd have to be in regional, even regional Victoria. There's multiple McDonald's in Shepparton, for instance.

Tommy: There is. But I mean, it's just, it's near my house and I, you know, I haven't eaten meat from Maccas. Meat, I'll preface that, beef from Maccas in over almost 2 years now.

Josh: So, you go the filler?

Mason: When you got chips the other day, did you get a burger?

George: No.

Mason: Just chippies.

Tommy: It was just, I've either had the chicken or I've only had chips. It was the thing. It's like if you do that, you eliminate a lot of options at Maccas, therefore you end up not wanting to go to Maccas unless it's for Sundays or chippies. And Sev's is always there for chippies. Anyway, banana and caramel. McFlurry.

Mason: I love chippies.

Tommy: So, let me just tell you, they've created this apple pie. Used to be the long— It's not even a— I don't know how they get away with saying pie when it's a long, almost looks like a sausage roll. So, it's an apple roll. You get what I'm saying?

Josh: That's a fucking great question.

Tommy: How do they get away with that?

George: It's like a traveller pie at Servos. Yeah. Same shape. Yeah.

Tommy: I'd be more happy with it being called an apple pie. Apple traveller pie. I tell you what, mate. So, they've released the banana and caramel pie. It's very annoying. But anyway, that's an item you can buy itself. So, it's got banana and caramel inside it. Looks epic. Then they were like, oh, I'm going to put this into a McFlurry.

Mason: Oh.

Tommy: It's a new range. So, they break up bits of it and put it into the McFlurry. Mate, do I have a bone to pick with McFlurries these days?

Josh: Well, because back in the day they would— the spoon was designed so it would mount into the machine. And they would actually, you know, shake it all up.

Tommy: It was as cutting edge as a Thermomix. That's, I mean, I remember that spoon. It was, I mean, wasn't great for the environment back in the day.

Josh: What are they doing for spoons now?

Tommy: A spoon. But remember that it was almost like it was a 3D, like had an inside of it that they would like lodge up into some sort of fixture and— Anyway, McFlurry's. They're not, they're not mixed these days. First problem.

George: Yeah.

Tommy: Second problem, they're over $5.

Josh: Is that a lot? How much is McFlurry?

Mason: I thought they were like a couple of bucks, like $2.

Tommy: No, $5. The reason it's so much when you break it down, last night I got this thing, so excited to get it. So, it's a McFlurry in its thing. It's got soft serve ice cream. It's got a caramel sauce, but then it's got bits of this caramel and banana pie. Mate, there was a few sprinkles of it. It was so disappointing, but I've worked it out. I've worked it out.

Josh: Okay, because I— this is after all the Prosecco, like the big day.

Tommy: I thought about it, I was like, I was like, mate, I know they don't do the mix job anymore and you get hardly anything in a McFlurry. Like, you don't get much Oreo, you don't get much of this banana and caramel pie. You can buy A banana and caramel pie. I just went to Macca's to have a look. $1.50. So add this up, Jason.

George: The whole pie.

Tommy: You buy the whole pie. $1.50.

Josh: And so that is the equivalent of an apple pie, but inside it has banana and caramel. Okay.

Tommy: $1.50. Then you just buy a soft serve ice cream. How much is a soft serve?

Josh: 30 cents.

Tommy: Nah, it's 50 cents.

Mason: Is it?

Tommy: I think it used to be—

Josh: It used to be 30, then it went to 50, 55. I think it's now—

Tommy: Should we call it 70?

Mason: Max a dollar.

Tommy: Okay, round it up to a dollar then.

Josh: Can you just—

Tommy: So you're at $2.50.

Josh: Okay.

Tommy: I actually looked it up on their site, it didn't have the cost.

Mason: It doesn't, yeah.

Tommy: Let's call it $2.50 by then.

Josh: I have another bone to pick with another item, but it's not related to Macca's, so we'll do that next. Okay, so stick around.

Tommy: We're at $2.50, we're at $2.50, and you've got yourself the banana and caramel pie plus a soft serve according to Uber Eats.

Josh: And a cone.

Tommy: Uber Eats, yeah, you got a cone, they threw that in there. I mean, how else are they going to give you a soft serve just in your hand?

George: 70 cents. I wonder if you could say, hey, So 70 cents.

Tommy: Let me just get there. Um, caramel topping as an extra through your Uber Eats app, if you were to buy, uh, you know, anything, is 55 cents. Let's call it 60. So at that point we're at, uh, what's that, $3.10. We're at $3.10 and you have yourself a whole entire, um, banana and caramel pie plus your soft serve ice cream plus your caramel. So you've got the thing you've just saved yourself— how much, George?

George: Uh, $2.

Tommy: Yeah, round it up. You found yourself— you found— you've saved yourself $2, and you can be less ungrateful and get more. I mean, see, this is the thing, I'm just working out their problems for them. And so forget your McFlurry, just do it yourself.

Josh: It's sounding a lot like a life hack.

George: You should ask for a coffee cup to mix it all in.

Josh: Do you reckon they'll just give you a coffee cup? How much will they charge for the coffee cup?

George: I reckon it'll be free.

Mason: It'll be free.

Josh: You could definitely—

Tommy: George, boy, are you up for going there straight after the show to make this?

George: Because you can get, or you can just get like a cup of water, tip the water out. I used to do that all the time.

Mason: Yeah, free cup of water. Free cup of water. Yeah, it's a great idea.

Tommy: Dude, this is good. This is good. I don't even want to eat it because, you know, I haven't been influenced by the Prosecco to break my diet, but I'll do it for a video.

Josh: Well, when yesterday when we had the prosecco, it's funny how when you drink, all of a sudden things like food— When I drink? No. When anyone drinks, it's like you've like protein bars are unappealing when you're drinking prosecco. And so, I decided to get hot chips. Initially, I went and was going to order from a fish and chip shop. Do you know what blew my mind? The cost. Of a potato cake. What do you reckon a potato cake cost?

Tommy: They used to get thrown— if you got a large chip, sometimes old mate would throw one in.

Josh: The other day we ordered onion rings at a place, accidental chip made its way in. Bri was fucking fired.

Tommy: Okay, no, I reckon, I reckon you're looking at— I reckon safely $1.20 for a potato cake these days.

Josh: Safely as in that's the norm?

Tommy: I reckon safely.

Mason: As in it's within.

Tommy: Yeah. Like shit got to a dollar. You can't buy much for like 50 cents to a dollar at any supermarket these days.

Josh: Don't you think that that is crazy, crazy, crazy expensive? So, I haven't, I clearly haven't ordered fish and chips enough because I thought, I swore it would have been 55 cents for a potato cake.

Tommy: Were they ever 55 cents?

George: Maybe.

Tommy: Maybe. I mean, when you're paying $2 for, you know, just.

Josh: $1.20, that's like a minimum. How much does a minimum chips cost? That's like $4.

George: These days. Minimum chips used to be able to get for like, yeah, $2.

Tommy: Yeah, you could do at a dollar value, 2, 3, 4.

George: 2 bucks worth of chips.

Tommy: Let's get some, you know, 6 bucks worth.

George: If you ever got $8 worth of chips, that was like a family.

Mason: Yeah, yeah, that's a lot.

Josh: If you ask, yeah, that's the interesting thing about fish and chips is their large is absurd. Like, you can have a lot of chips.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: For the equivalent of— I mean, I've never heard anyone spend $8 on chips.

Tommy: Yeah, who's done that, George?

George: Well, that's like normal now. If you're getting, you know, at like Uber Eats or something, chips would be like $8.

Josh: Yeah, no, but you're never going to a fish and chip shop doing that.

George: Back in the day, if you did though, that would be like a whole family.

Mason: Yeah, no, I reckon, I reckon our family, if we went and got fish and chips, the chips would be $8. Between $6 to $8 for a family pack.

Josh: They wouldn't even be able to fit them all in a fryer. They'd have to do multiple runs, you'd think.

Mason: Multiple days.

Josh: $8 worth of chips.

Tommy: A lot of chippies.

George: Yeah.

Mason: Well, so, I mean, it's not a potato cake, but it's similar. Hash brown, $2.15 at Macca's.

Josh: That's ridiculous.

Mason: That's quite expensive.

George: That is ridiculous.

Josh: At that point, just get chips. I'm always surprised at the cost of drinks.

George: Yeah.

Josh: I was about to say the coffee.

George: Coffee at Macca's is like $4.30 or something, isn't it?

Josh: Is that a lot?

George: It seems like a lot for a small coffee. Small is $4.

Mason: Yeah.

Tommy: Do you think it's because they position— I mean, when we were young, it was cheapish, you know, fast food. It's still fast food, but inflation, it's, it's gone up. Do you think it's— do you think we just think it should be cheap based on, uh, you know, legacy and, and what style of food it is?

Josh: Well, I think the other thing, when, when Bree and I were doing our, um, what do you call it, uh, when everything was going to shit earlier in the year—

Tommy: COVID-19?

Josh: No, but what was the— no, no, it was getting closer. We had a lot of shit happen.

Tommy: No, no, no, it's been a lot.

Josh: No, the fucking ISO. When you buy stuff when you're panicked.

Mason: Panic buying. Panic buying.

Tommy: Worked it out.

Josh: Got it.

Tommy: You buy stuff when you panic. Panic buying.

Josh: Fucking got it. And so anyway, when you guys were hoarding. Yeah. No, we were respectfully buying stuff to make sure that the elderly—

Mason: How are the beans going?

Josh: The beans are fine.

Tommy: Stock levels.

Josh: Still high at my place. But the one thing that I found interesting is the biggest scam— I told myself this and I never executed on it— uh, waffle fries, chips, any form of like potato product, they, they taste the same if you like it. Like, I always had this perception that if you buy frozen potatoes like chips, put them in the oven, you are getting a homemade style offering, which I associate homemade with shit. Like, it's not going to taste any good. Yeah. Anyway, I was like, blown away. That's why I never understood where it's like, oh, it's the homemade style. Like, going to a restaurant, they're promoting homemade. It's like, homemade?

George: How's that?

Josh: How's that a selling point?

Tommy: What is— yeah, what is home if we just—

Josh: a burnt finger and shitty eggplant. Anyway, so I told myself during panic buying. I was like, this is the biggest hack. When you order something from Uber Eats, how long does it take to get to your place?

Tommy: 30 to 40 minutes.

Josh: Perfect amount of time. Go to a burger place like Uber Eats, a burger, but then you can get a big bag of potato, like of a hot chip, of chippies, of frozen chippies, frozen chippies for like $3.

Mason: Yeah.

Josh: And that's going to serve you heaps of time. So, you can order the burger, put the chips in the oven, and you've got hot chips when the burger arrives.

Tommy: I had a mate that we used to go to like a fish and chippery. I mean, they were big when we were young. There's less now. They're all fancy and you're paying the high end. But he would bring, and he had it in his car, tomato sauce because he wouldn't pay for it. He was, mate, not paying.

George: I sort of It's like rice. I sometimes cook my own rice when I get Thai.

Mason: I think that's a good idea.

Tommy: It's a good idea, but annoying.

Mason: Yeah. I mean, it depends if you're going for the— A lot of people. Yeah, that's true. I mean, a lot of people like you, Josh, you have those microwavable packets.

Tommy: They're good. They're cheap. They're fast. You know, there's microwavable chips that come out crispy. I saw those in boxes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Josh: What are they doing it?

Tommy: Somehow it's in a box and you put it in the microwave. And it comes out like the crispy chips, like chips would from a fryer. But the, you know, the gripe with the microwave is that she goes soggy. Do you know, so I once came into a— I came when I was working in Shepparton, you know, I was in Shepparton.

George: Yeah.

Tommy: So I was up there a couple of years.

Josh: In radio?

Tommy: Yeah, a couple of years. And, um, Star FM. And I walked into the kitchen and It was putrid, that job.

Josh: Of the office, of the studio.

Tommy: Yeah, of the studio.

Josh: Who's fault? Like, I mean, isn't it interesting everywhere you go the kitchen's messy? Have you thought that maybe it's you?

Tommy: No, it was everyone. It was everyone there.

Mason: How's our kitchen?

Tommy: It's good. I cleaned it this morning. I came in, it was like—

Mason: It wasn't—

Tommy: I got in and it just had the vibe. You could still smell Tully. Her perfume was still lingering. There was bottles of Prosecco everywhere, dishes everywhere. There was ants in the fucking sink. And I was like, I gotta sort this shit out.

Josh: You're implying that like Tully comes comes in and the kitchen's fucked. Like, the kitchen was—

Tommy: No, it was the aftermath of a party. It was that vibe.

George: Hang on, I remember Tommy saying, can you take down all my cups? And on your desk there was about 3 mugs and 3 glasses.

Tommy: I'd taken a few off. I'd taken one off the communal, one off Josh's, and then I was collating them to bring them down. Anyway, I cleaned them all this morning.

George: Yeah, well done.

Tommy: Point being, I walked into, I walked into the kitchen and I look in and I looked some—

Josh: It's a kitchenette for people playing at home. Yeah, as in the one in our office. I just want to be clear.

Mason: Yeah, we don't have an oven.

Tommy: We, we could do The radio station that, yeah, Shepparton, it was Big Kitchen and someone was using the microwave and she had a cup in there. I was like, what's going on? She's just cooking an egg. And she opens up, she opens up the microwave, pulls out in a mug of water, she had wrapped an egg still in its shell in foil. Foil?

Josh: You can't put foil in the microwave.

Tommy: That's what I thought. If you submerge an egg wrapped in foil in a cup of water—

Josh: You need to get a life.

Tommy: You can make a boiled egg.

Josh: This sounds like the things on TikTok. Like TikTok, there's this whole sort of category of TikToks where they do all this dumb shit and they say, so they'll be like, You know, get your egg, put acid in the cup with the egg. Oh, my God. Add some salt, pepper, come back in the morning and you have a boiled egg and it stops it there. But so, then all these kids are making fucking—

Tommy: Oh, so, it's full trolling.

Josh: Yeah. Well, they're fucking—

Tommy: Because there is also the science-y channels that are doing the—

Josh: So, it's fake science.

Tommy: But is that the intention? That is like—

Josh: Well, I think it's meant to be seen as a bit of a joke, so it's not as malicious as The acid one's quite a full-on example.

Tommy: That is a real full-on example.

Mason: Did you see Paris from Jason PJ?

Josh: Yeah.

Mason: Putting the egg in the kettle to try poach it?

Tommy: Yeah, yeah.

Mason: Fuck. It went everywhere. But I reckon if you put vinegar in there at the same time, white vinegar in there, it would have been fine.

Tommy: That's a hack.

Mason: Yeah, because it keeps it all together when you poach an egg.

George: Just crack one into the kettle.

Josh: No, no, it's a full boiled egg. Was it boiling or was it—? It exploded.

Tommy: Ah, so she— Yeah, because it's bouncing and then it hits it or she—

Josh: No, so the poaching— It's two different styles.

Tommy: Was it poaching?

Josh: There was— So, Jase and PJ, friends of the show, you should cheque out their podcast. They're doing great things. They also did Jase taking his, like, a specific device, like a poached egg maker. Yes. That was all in the microwave and you put water in it and you put it in the microwave and it worked quite well. It wasn't very yoky, like it would sort of had gone a bit hard.

Tommy: Dried the shit out of it. The problem is if you just put an egg in the microwave with nothing other than just the egg, it will blow up. And so, you're playing with fire and metal in a microwave. If you haven't experienced that. Oh, it's— I put a spoon in there before. By accident, yeah?

Mason: With the cup, like with the— I was making a hot chocolate or whatever and I put a spoon in.

Josh: What happened?

Tommy: It sparks. Okay. And it smells funny. Yeah, that's burning.

George: Do you always make hot chocolates in the microwave?

Mason: No, no, no. I mean, I don't make that many hot chocolates now, but we've got a coffee machine.

Josh: He was trying to be reliable. We've got a brewster for that.

Mason: What? Pardon? No, no, we've got a coffee machine, so you just froth the milk in there.

Josh: And so does that help when it comes to making hot chocolate?

Mason: Well, yeah, because I don't have to heat it up in the microwave.

Josh: So you froth the milk and then you just add the Hot chocolate powder.

Mason: Yeah, it's like what they do at the cafe.

Tommy: Okay. I mean, it's game to do the microwave with the foil at an office, you know, like it's not your microwave. You could ruin it for everybody if it does blow up.

Mason: Can we do mug cakes?

Tommy: Mug cakes are a thing. You can get them tasting ridiculous. Amy's sister makes them and they're— it's, it is, it's a fucking cake. It is buttery. It's like from scratch coca. Oh my God. So good. Put a bit of choccy bits on top.

Mason: It's only a few minutes in the microwave as well.

Tommy: Yeah, there's a bit of prep time. Yeah. That gets in the way, but you put a bit of ice cream onto it.

Josh: I was watching the Savvy Dietitian's Instagram posts and she did one where it's like a big chocolate muffin versus like a bowl of fruit., and I think that the point was it's like, wow, look how much more you get for the bowl of fruit. I was like, fuck, it's almost worth a muffin. I don't know if I've— this is— I mean, I'm the protein guy, but I mean, this is sounding— that's a lot of fruit as well. Yeah, and the thing is it's less calories, the fruit, but the same carbohydrates, which it took me a while to figure that out. But if you read the post, Savvy Dietitian, it's very good. Yeah, on Instagram. Doing a lot of plugs today, you know, I feel real pluggy. George, uh, what do you want to play?

George: Any plugs? Uh, um, nothing much really. I just remembered something. I've got a friend, just back to the chip thing, who enjoys snacking on frozen chips.

Josh: Oh wow, that's sort of how ridiculous is that?

Tommy: What sort of friend? How close are you?

George: Oh, she's one of Hannah's best friends. Okay, and what's her deal? What's up? She will snack on, yeah, frozen chips, or she'll just have like a jar of jalapeños just for For avocados.

Josh: I can understand that.

Tommy: That's okay. But the frozen chips, that's a different. Yeah.

Josh: I mean, yeah, there's nothing wrong. Don't try and plonk them together.

Tommy: Yeah. That's not, one is meant to be eaten. Yeah. A jar of jalapeños.

George: Uncool.

Josh: She has all of them.

Mason: Yeah. I will say just another frozen thing that you eat frozen. I quite like frozen peas. Eating frozen peas. Eating frozen peas.

Tommy: Quite nice. Pastry. I remember using— Mummy was cooking. I don't know why I said Mummy, but Mummy used to cook using puff pastry or frozen pastry, and I used to eat it sometimes. I've done that.

George: Yeah, you had frozen blueberries the other day.

Tommy: Yes, they're okay to eat.

Mason: Little life hack if you don't have any fresh fruit for your—

Josh: It's not a life hack.

Mason: Just put some frozen on. That's really—

Tommy: But it's like saying, oh mate, you should— Next thing, put blueberries, frozen blueberries on porridge. They go together.

Mason: Think about the cost getting all 3 like berries when you could just get a bag of mixed berries for like $4.

Tommy: Yeah, but you're also the guy that puts frozen spinach, which clearly says do not consume without cooking, into your smoothies. That's true.

Mason: It's all right.

Tommy: And then you encourage me to do it, who I make a smoothie for Bodhi every morning, and then I was giving Bodhi—

Mason: Toughens up his immune system. Does it?

Josh: I do. If, yeah, if he doesn't die in the process. My cousin, when I was growing up, he was really into to weird foods. Yeah, like just like freaky eater kids. Um, he would eat burgers that were like from the can or like the frozen burgers, you know, like the burgers that you could buy pre-made and you put them in them. It's— I remember being like, when I heard about it, I was like, as a kid, this is the best fucking thing ever. Because I just imagine like, yeah, you have a can, you open it up, And just like this fresh, delicious burger with like pickles and lettuce and all that sort of stuff. What lettuce? From frozen? Well, that's what I assumed, right?

George: The photo looks like it's a legit burger. Oh, let's get one of those.

Tommy: So, there is a bunch of YouTube videos of people trying burgers in a can. The trekking burger. There's a trekking burger. I mean, it makes you feel like it's going to be alright if you trekking, meaning you're sort of out on some big walk.

Mason: Can we get frozen food tomorrow for Fat Fridays?

Tommy: Are we doing Fat Fridays? That's a good segue.

Josh: Well, so first of all, we need to work out what's happening with Friday night drinks.

Tommy: Here's what's happening: 5 PM, we're doing an episode which is Friday's episode. Why aren't we doing it earlier? Because it leads into Friday night drinks. What was this thing?

Josh: It was 6 PM. I feel like, um, me we should be doing a midday episode where we can sort of have a drink, but then Sev gets the episode live because I've been looking at the download numbers. When we get them out late, it really affects how many people listen. I mean, so what's it?

Tommy: So the day drink, it's just if you drink at 12, look what happened yesterday.

Josh: Yeah.

Mason: And so it's like I was quite pissed putting that episode up. There was, there was, I accidentally forgot to remove one of the time codes in the show notes, so I had to go back Once I sort of came down and just—

Tommy: You would have got very chatty with Mummy and Daddy when you got home.

Mason: Ah, nah, I came down, I was fine.

Tommy: You were too tired, went straight to bed. Yeah.

Josh: And so take that bit out. So if I keep going and then we can adjust. Oh, then if—

Tommy: But there's nothing to adjust if we don't do the episode at 5 till 6 and then 6.

Josh: We could do 6 onwards as the time to do the kick-ons. Yeah. So I think that Yeah, well, I mean, I'm easy. I don't want to be— I don't want to be— yeah, I'm not the dictator of the show as much as sometimes it would seem that way. And so, George, what do you think?

George: Um, yeah, I think doing it earlier maybe. Yeah, just for Sebbs to get it up, because otherwise he has to get it up while we're doing drinks. A bit annoying. Um, I think 6 o'clock is good. 6 o'clock onwards.

Josh: Sebbs, what do you think? Like, is it What would you prefer? What do you think we do?

Mason: Yeah, it's probably— you do it at 3 or something. It's probably better to get, to get the episode up. Maybe we do a Fat Fridays episode and then at whatever, 6, we launch into drinks.

Josh: Okay, so I don't want to make the decision, but I like what the boys are saying.

Tommy: Yeah, I don't mind it. How about we, how about we do, uh, fake burger, like the burgers that you heat up in the microwave? The thing is, like, I just—

Josh: the thing I don't have time for is dumb food. So if we're going to do fat face, the guy eats protein bars.

Tommy: No, no, but the thing is, the dumbest food ever.

Josh: That's the thing, I'm fucking dumb food all week. I don't want to like— okay, I see. Like, it feels like a novelty what I'm doing already. I don't want— like, if I'm going to have these calories, it's going to be shit that I'm fucking real fired up. That's why I never understood about like some of those, um, like Hamish and Andy would do outrageous food things, or, you know, like It's just like, that's a lot of food that you're consuming that you're not even enjoying. I want to enjoy it. So we could maybe—

Tommy: God, what he's saying, George, is that last week you stuffed it.

George: Didn't you enjoy last week?

Josh: I think it was a good bit that made for a good episode, but it didn't play into my emotional eating. Like, I didn't enjoy it. Yeah, I wasn't happy. Yeah. So what did you have for dinner last night?

Mason: Yeah, so because I remember at the office you were just like, look, I've had a couple of drinks, I've had a couple of chippies, well, we may as well go all out and get a peanut butter shake for dinner.

Josh: Well, yeah, I said, no, I said, I did say to Bree, yeah, no, that is correct. I said to Bree, hey, a little bit of a blowout. Uh, with Tully being in the office, and so Bri said, so nothing for dinner? I said no dinner. And so I thought, you can eat it, going out with a bang. And so no, I did say like, let's, let's get something. And after Betty's Burgers, that like, I never ever get like being the person that gets a shake every time you get a burger. Like, you don't want to be that person. Like, you can't become, you can't be that person.

Tommy: If you're doing it once every 2 weeks, you can be that person, I guess.

Josh: And so anyway, I was like, after the Betty's Burgers peanut butter shake, I was like, I need that. Interestingly, they don't do the shakes delivered on—

Tommy: yeah, delivered on Uber Eats. Yeah, they're not a soft serve delivery. I was hoping I could Uber Eats everything, all of those ingredients, but we're gonna have to venture out, Georgie boy. Yeah, pumped. Now that's good. And so we're doing 6 PM. So what time's the, uh, midday normal episode?

Mason: Live streamed on YouTube. Yep. And also podcast will be out before, before 3 o'clock.

Tommy: Yeah. And then we start, and then we start, and then start drinks at 5 that will lead through till 7:38.

Josh: And now you, George, we got 5.

Mason: Yeah, for the Zoom. So the Zoom will be at 5. Yeah. Okay.

George: And just Zoom at 5 or 6?

Tommy: Yeah, but no, it goes on from 5 onwards. Okay, so people will start rolling, rolling whenever. Yeah, gotcha.

Josh: And so we're bringing partners as well.

George: Yeah, I think so. Into the office.

Tommy: That'd be great. Amy would love to come, but yeah, fucking Bodhi.

George: Are we gonna do it down? Brody could come in the garage. No, no, down here.

Josh: Upstairs would be a bit of a nightmare, to be honest. Upstairs or Bodhi? Bodhi. Yeah, I just want TJ to be able to fucking let loose.

Tommy: Yeah, no, it's all right, it's good.

Josh: Um, but so we'll do what? So from, uh, 6 PM Zoom and then we'll go until like 5 or 6 PM because TJ just said 5 PM and then that—

Tommy: otherwise we're just hanging around until what, doing what? We're going to be drinking anyway, so we may as well.

Mason: Okay, great. Okay, 5 PM, the Friday Night Drinks Zoom starts.

Josh: Okay, great. Awesome, guys.

Tommy: All right, sounds bloody great. Are you sending out a Zoom link?

Mason: I'll send out a Zoom link.

Tommy: Great. And one thing, it will be horrible quality Zoom because Zoom have They've prevented any external cameras being able to access, but even, even through your DeckLink you can't.

Josh: Oh yeah, but then we do it on here, but we're going to do it upstairs anyway. But it's not really for—

Mason: we're doing it upstairs.

Tommy: No, but it's just an interesting point that if you were like— we were crispy clean on Zoom with our cameras, but now they've prevented— what about like webcams, like anyone's webcam? Is that stopped or is it just our camera? Have they got something against the Daily Talk Show? No, no, webcams work.

Mason: It's just our external stuff, external cameras.

Josh: Interesting. Maybe we can.

George: So we're going to all take our laptops upstairs and just be on our laptops.

Tommy: No, just have one computer. We'll all sort of sit around, have a little chat, little chinwag. Yeah. You know, just do what we do.

Josh: And so we won't, so the audio won't be crisp. We can plug in the RODECaster. We've got a RODECaster. Yeah. I mean, it's very inside base. Oh yeah. RODECaster would be great.

Mason: Yeah. So, plug in. We can sit around that whole table. That was the plan.

Josh: Oh, perfect. All right. I mean, it's been clunky just, you know, getting back to all this stuff.

Tommy: No. Anyway, love you guys.

George: And remember— And no theme. No theme.

Tommy: This is the first one back. We're doing them once a month moving forward. And we're going harder than normal.

Josh: Are we? I don't know. I think that that was the promise was we do it once a month and we go hard. What are we—

Mason: Are we all drinking the same thing or?

Tommy: Well, I'm trying to organise a few things, so I'm trying to organise a few things. So let's, let's keep a little bit.

George: So are we allowed one drink at Fat Friday?

Tommy: You can do what you want.

Josh: I think you start drinking, George, at midday.

Tommy: Yeah. And, uh, actually, I reckon 9 o'clock, as soon as you get to work.

George: We don't promote that bullshit.

Josh: I think there is something in just like starting at midday or whatever. And actually, look guys, this fucking week's a write-off. Midday. Like, I'd prefer to start drinking at midday and actually have my last drink at 6:30. Yeah, no, I'm just like riding.

Tommy: I tell you what, do you know how much a fucking long weekend costs businesses? Because the productivity, productivity the following week— is it a long weekend? Well, no, last week's a Monday, and then you just come back, you're like, pretty tired after that long weekend. You should be rejuvenated, but no. And then you're like, let's drink Wednesday, which we did, and now we're just planning our drinking for Friday.

Josh: Well, Georgie boy's treating it a bit like Mad Men. Like, definitely, like, he's got the moustache for Mad Men, hasn't he? Just on the couch and, you know, just drinking and just, yeah, spread out.

Tommy: Yeah, treating Tully like shit. That's not true. No, Tully thought that George had something against her. And so George lent into it. It's great. You know, we all need to be loved. Happy Friday for tomorrow. No, it's good. I'm going to go to Maccas and do this thing. George, you down? I'm coming.

George: Yeah. All right. Great.

Josh: All right. It's The Daily Talk Show. There is that survey, thedailytalkshow.com/survey. Yeah. Yeah. And at the end of the show, you say it again.

Mason: Yeah, you'll hear it again.

Josh: Okay. All right. See you tomorrow, guys. And, uh, yeah, if you want to be part of the Friday night drinks and you're not signed up as a VIP Gronk, just go to thedailytalkshow.com/gronks. Will they then get an email? Yeah, they will. That didn't sound— No, they're promising, but no, no, no, it'll happen. Okay, it'll happen. All right, uh, it's The Daily Talk Show. See you tomorrow, everyone. Have a good one. See you guys.
