At a glance
From this episode’s transcript.
- –Tommy fed the whole team for roughly $40 at IKEA, including hot dogs, meatball subs, garlic bread, cinnamon buns and an unidentified salmon/cod paste that got mixed reviews.
- –Egg refrigeration depends on where it was stored at purchase: if bought from a refrigerated section keep it in the fridge, if bought unrefrigerated keep it at room temperature, because temperature swings increase condensation and bacterial risk.
- –Dubai World Expo 2020 was confirmed postponed due to COVID, now running October 2021 to March 2022, prompting the team to half-jokingly plan a 'Dubai 2022' trip.
- –A bottle of Death Gin showing up at a beach house is speculated to be a gesture from 'Hot Accountant' Jase to Rod, though no one confirms it outright.
- –Rebel Wilson's claimed family connection to Walt Disney was publicly disputed in a defamation case, though her family surname (Bounds) is similar to Walt Disney's wife's maiden name (Bounds).
Questions this episode answers
Should eggs be stored in the fridge or at room temperature?
According to the discussion, if you buy eggs from a refrigerated section, keep them in the fridge; if you buy them from an unrefrigerated shelf, store them at room temperature. Switching temperatures repeatedly can cause condensation that increases bacterial risk, which is why some supermarkets differ in how they shelve eggs.
Is the Dubai World Expo happening in 2020?
No. As discussed in the episode, Dubai World Expo 2020 was postponed due to COVID-19 and is now scheduled to run from October 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022.
Is Rebel Wilson actually related to Walt Disney?
It's disputed. The hosts reference reporting that Wilson's family story about being related to Walt Disney was challenged in a defamation case, though her surname Bounds is similar to the maiden name of Walt Disney's wife, which may be the origin of the family legend.
Episode TranscriptShow
Josh: It's The Daily Talk Show, episode 779.
Tommy: It's Fat Friday. What's happening, Gronks? Who's hungry?
Jess: Starving.
Josh: Jessie's hungry.
Tommy: She's put her hand up. She can't talk. That's how hungry she is. So I had an idea to feed us all on a budget, which, you know, usually can go pretty bad, but there's more of us now for every Friday. Like last week it cost us like nearly $70 or something for 3 meals.
Josh: What did we get?
Tommy: We got like fried chicken.
Josh: And we didn't even have it on the show.
Tommy: We didn't even have it. That's how hungry we were. I've been to IKEA this week and I went to IKEA a couple of weeks ago with George and saw the dollar hot dogs.
Josh: Oh, no. Well, going back even on that, why were you at IKEA?
Tommy: Well, there was a blowup earlier in the week about chairs and how Josh didn't have a desk. And so, you know, what's one way to sort of put to action something that will stop the complaining?
Josh: Look how high it goes.
Tommy: And Josh has a new chair and so do I.
Josh: And so—
George: Slow clap for the chair.
Tommy: They're good chairs. It's funny when someone complains like you do, JJ, I just come in expecting a complaint and I'm like, I've already worked it out. He's not gonna like the back of the chair 'cause it's see-through.
Josh: No, like some of the premium chairs are.
Tommy: The storey I told, bullshit, and it was wrong and he liked it, so.
Josh: You're projecting something that wasn't there.
Jess: Yeah, yeah.
Josh: And so what have you organised for Fat Fridays?
Tommy: So I went to IKEA and I pretty much got everything on the menu that you can get.
Josh: Really?
Tommy: Hot dogs, meatball subs, meatballs just by themselves 'cause Jess wanted that, garlic bread, Chocolate and some other crackers and some sort of paste that goes on the crackers, which I don't know what it is. It just had a cool branding attached to it.
Josh: So, talking about garlic bread very quickly. 97.
Tommy: What do you want? Hot dog or a meatball?
Josh: Meatball sub, please.
Tommy: Okay.
Jess: Okay.
Tommy: We'll take those. Who wants— who wants— who won't eat a hot dog and wants a meatball sub?
Mason: I'd like something with a meatball in it. Okay. Please.
Tommy: So, give one of those to Josh.
Josh: Thank you.
Tommy: You too.
George: Yeah.
Tommy: All right.
Josh: Here you go, Jack. So, talking about garlic bread, Seb's met some of Grace's friends last night.
Tommy: Seb and JJ.
Josh: And he said that they were fancy. I said, why do you think they're fancy? He said they had olive bread. Olive bread.
Tommy: That is pretty fancy. Where did they have olive bread? Just at a restaurant or a house?
Josh: No, this is at a house. They just had olive bread.
Tommy: It is sort of the Like it's next level bread.
Josh: Did you have any olive bread?
George: No, I didn't have any olive bread.
Tommy: Have you ever had olive bread?
George: Yes.
Tommy: Oh, you have.
George: Yeah. So, the problem with the olives is it ruins the whole bread and you can't cut them out or pull them out because it's just infused the entire toast.
Josh: Did they cut you toast?
Tommy: Did they feed you some dippy eggs?
George: Yeah.
Jess: Yeah.
Tommy: They don't like that.
Mason: Yeah.
Tommy: Baby doesn't like that. Even Bodhi likes olive bread. It's delicious.
George: I don't like olives.
Jess: Yeah. You're one of those.
Tommy: Anyway. Okay. So, let's just, Jess, JJ, you've got a hot dog. Sorry.
Josh: A meatball. It looks like it would be a hot dog. It's a hot dog bun.
Tommy: Yep. And so, she upsold me because she said, do you want the onion, the dried onion on there?
Josh: Dried onion?
Tommy: Like crispy onion.
Josh: Do you reckon it's FODMAP?
Tommy: Absolutely not.
George: Shallots?
Tommy: Yeah. It was like that. It was like shallots. She said onions. Jess, what are you having?
George: Jess, so you've still got one of the meatballs?
Tommy: I've got a meatball, which is what Jess wants, one of them. Is there one over there?
Jess: What about that?
Tommy: No. There's another one there.
Mason: Do you want this one?
Tommy: Mate, we got a lot of food for $40. It was so much food for $40. So you've got also more corn.
Josh: Was she confused? Did the lady seem confused?
Tommy: She was kind of pumped that I was putting in such a big order. She's like, okay, this is going to be 5 minutes, I reckon.
Josh: It was great.
Tommy: So Georgie boy's got a hot dog.
Josh: What's on the hot dog? What's the sauce?
Tommy: It is ketchup and mustard.
Jess: It looks like a Dijon just from the outset. Yeah.
Tommy: Jess has gone—
Josh: Almost like a chipotle.
Tommy: Yeah, yeah, yeah. So Jess has had a chicken ball. Give us your vibe on a chicken ball.
Mason: I thought I was eating meat.
George: There's so much here.
Josh: Is it like popcorn chicken? What is it? No, keep it in. This is the game. You got to talk and eat.
Mason: You know, I have a complex about this.
Josh: That's fine.
Jess: Talking and eating.
Mason: Mmm, that sound.
Josh: Um, yeah, Fat Friday is probably not a good one for you.
Tommy: There's actually a name for it, misophonia. Maybe you've got it too. They're actually quite—
Josh: I thought that's why you can't find your iPhone at home, you misophonia.
Tommy: JJ, I think you'll like this. The crispy bits are real good.
Jess: It's concerningly cold though.
George: Really?
Jess: Does it matter? It's not chicken.
Mason: It's—
Tommy: no, it's fine. That's 5 minutes ago. So hang on, you've also Talk, Mason, if you're gonna start.
George: No, I was just watching Josh smash into that. You've also got some like little—
Tommy: here we go, like, oh, I got cinnamon buns. I got cinnamon buns.
George: Oh my God, okay, hang on. And then you've also, you've also got like a garlic— you've also got like a garlic bread.
Tommy: Yeah, that was an upsell. She's like, do you want the garlic bread with that? I was like, yep, 3 of those.
Josh: Great.
George: And so do you want a cinnamon?
Josh: Oh, cinnamon. Yeah, Bree will have a cinnamon bun as well.
Tommy: There's enough for Bree. Like, I knew that we had enough food. Do you want a hot dog, Bree?
Josh: She's just off mic, but yeah, she'll have one. Yeah, great.
Tommy: So I think I've done well.
Josh: You've done well.
Tommy: That was great. No, sorry about that.
Josh: Well done.
Mason: Really sorry.
Tommy: To be honest, the place, something like IKEA is you walk in, you smell it and it smells like, you know, your in-flight meal and people don't necessarily love in-flight meals. It has the same vibe, but I think, oh my God, that Cinnabon smells ridic—
Josh: This is great.
Tommy: Wow. I mean, this has fed the whole family.
Jess: $40. So, what's the kitchen like at IKEA? Like, what is the setup?
Tommy: It's just, it looks like a canteen. It has like, you know, your bain-marie and then you've got whatever, like a thing that cooks the sausages, which is like an oven, but it's like using the water in there. It's great. Looks awesome. Anyway, I think it was a bizarre thing because everyone just gets one as they're coming out. And I was the guy that had 6 hot dog looking things, 48 balls, garlic breads, and yeah, she was fighting.
Mason: And no furniture.
Tommy: And no furniture. I literally went there, you know, I paid more for parking than I did for a hot dog.
George: Really?
Josh: How much was parking?
Tommy: $1.05.
George: Oh, you know, you can scan your ticket.
Tommy: Yeah, it would have been great if I had one of you grunks with me. My hands were completely full.
Josh: I'm so glad I didn't go.
Tommy: Yeah, I liked it. It was a fun little mission. And I've got something else that I want to— Mace, hold that up. This is like some paste. It looks like toothpaste. There's a blonde guy in it. Looks like Seb's from when he had his bleach blonde hair. Oh my God, it really does.
Josh: What does it say, Seb's?
Tommy: No, don't tell it. We need to eat it first before we know what it is.
George: Don't say Seb's.
Josh: It's not furniture glue.
George: Can I read the brand name on it?
Tommy: Try and read the brand name.
George: Kales. Kales. Kales. Original. I don't know.
Josh: Don't say anything else.
George: You can't even tell what it is.
Josh: So we're going to—
Tommy: That's why I bought it, because I was like, it's a food product and I got crackers with it.
Josh: Do we squirt it into our mouth? No, use the crackers.
George: No, no, no.
Tommy: Use the crackers.
George: Here we go.
Josh: Can you try it first, Seb's?
George: We've got crispy bread. Crispy bread crackers.
Josh: Really?
Jess: Yeah.
Tommy: Can you make one for yourself?
George: Okay.
Jess: That's ridiculous. It doesn't look like food at all.
Tommy: I know.
Jess: That's like a ceiling thing or something.
Tommy: Yeah, yeah, it looks like, um, it's, it's that old, uh, pop art back in the day, you know. It's like, yeah, it's sort of like Art Attack.
Josh: You would use it as like, um, a paint, like it looks like acrylic paint.
Tommy: Yeah, yeah. So yeah, mate, the hot dog is so good. It is a pretty good hot dog.
Jess: The crispy onions are really nice.
Josh: Good job, good job. Okay, this is great. Here we go, here we go.
George: What do we Are you able to pour it on, Jess?
Josh: Okay. So it's almost like, so the biscuit looks like some sort of s'mores cracker almost.
George: Punch a hole in this. This looks, um.
Josh: Can you smell it and tell us? Can you sniff it?
Mason: You can't smell anything.
Jess: It looks like a heavy duty tube of paint.
George: You know what?
Tommy: Yeah.
Josh: This isn't a stitch up.
George: It looks like glue.
Mason: I'm not going to start from the outside.
George: Oh my God.
Jess: No, no, don't you.
Tommy: Go. What is that? Awesome. You have to bite it and tell us what it is.
George: Look at that.
Mason: It looks like salmon.
Jess: Yeah. Salmon colour.
Tommy: Shut up, guys. Just fucking take a bite.
Josh: What does it smell like? He's taking a bite.
Tommy: His face is looking funny. Oh no.
Josh: What is that?
Tommy: What is it, Seb's? Talk. Yeah, it's fishy.
Josh: Oh no, it's olive paste.
Tommy: What is that? I'm pretty sure I said that.
Mason: That is salmon paste for sure.
Tommy: I'm pretty sure it's like trout dip.
Jess: Oh no, I love trout dip.
Tommy: It's going to be hit and miss for a lot of people.
Jess: But it's refrigerated. It feels a bit weird that it's not.
Mason: Okay. The ingredient says sugar salted cod.
Jess: Okay.
Mason: Raw.
George: Oh, wow.
Josh: That's it.
George: The raw is the eggs. Great to meet the three in that then.
Mason: Canola oil, sugar, potato flakes, tomato puree, sodium, and then preservative E202, whatever that is. And that's it.
Tommy: So I know you're fussy, Jess. The self-proclaimed fussy.
Mason: I'll stop at that because I thought it was going to be sweet.
Tommy: I got Chocolate though, so we can get into that after, and the Cinnabons. So look out, will you try it, Jess? Right, will you just—
George: I missed it. Yeah, these chicken balls are quite good, by the way.
Tommy: Um, can you throw it to me? Can you throw it? Yeah, go hard, go, go!
George: Oh, good catch!
Tommy: Did you get that catch? Yeah, yeah, you know sometimes you catch and you catch on? I don't even know how I did that. Like, I just put my hand out and help it and squeeze.
Josh: And so what section was that in?
Tommy: So, this is— So, next— So, you've got the takeaway food and then next to it's a supermarket. You can get alcohol or your Swedish brand.
George: Alcohol?
Tommy: Yeah, there's some alcohol there. Swedish brands, all these kind of like juice, like weird juices and stuff. Anyway, I got some chocolate from the chocolate section.
Josh: Which I asked for.
Tommy: You asked for. There was a few that had like bits in it, which are those Dame things.
Josh: What are they called?
Tommy: Dame, I think it was. You said it before, was it right?
Josh: In France, they actually do a When we were there, we had a McFlurry. They did a Dame McFlurry.
Tommy: It's basically like toffee inside of chocolate.
Josh: Yeah, it's very good.
Tommy: Really nice and butterscotchy. And so, I ended up going plain chocolate because you said that IKEA do good chocolate.
Josh: Well, I just— I'm going based on the size. I've never bought it, but I always like, that's a lot of chocolate.
Tommy: I know. It's like—
Josh: Like Willy Wonka or something.
Tommy: The whole— I mean, it's all Willy Wonka. Willy Wonka.
Josh: It's a comedy. Willy Wonka vibes.
Tommy: Speaking of that kind of an accent, last night—
Josh: this is a—
Tommy: no, this is it. No, I'm done on you.
Josh: You met an outcast?
Tommy: People can do accents.
Jess: Okay. All right.
Tommy: People can do accents. People— film stars are going to get cancelled.
Josh: I know, I know. They fucking do accents. I know. But you're a big Chris Lilley fan.
George: I know.
Tommy: But you can't— no, that's doing blackface. That's over the line. But you can do an accent as an actor.
Josh: No, that's not right. So do you performance?
Tommy: You make fun of people. Do you performance then?
Josh: Do you performance?
Tommy: There's no performance. The Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga, which is on Netflix. It's Will Ferrell. Ferrell and someone else. She's awesome. Forgot her name. It is so good. I think you need to watch it. Like, I know you don't like movies that are sort of fun and long. No, not really. But you like Eurovision?
Josh: Do I?
Tommy: Yeah.
Josh: I've watched it.
Tommy: It's really funny. And so Will Ferrell wrote it. I think you'd like it, George, if you just want something over the weekend to do. Netflix, watch it. It's so good. We watched it last night, Amy and I, in bed.
George: Grace did say that we needed to watch it.
Tommy: It's really—
Josh: it's, it's on Netflix Live or what is it? Oh great, is it new?
Tommy: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Josh: I'll watch it tonight.
Tommy: So two small town singers chase their pop star dreams at a global music competition where high stakes, scheming rivals, and onstage mishaps test their bond.
Josh: Is Borat in it? I could imagine that would be funny.
Tommy: No, so they play, um, They're from Iceland. And so, their accent, if you've heard people from Iceland, it's, I reckon it's one of the cutest accents you've ever heard. If you watch the CrossFit documentaries, there's a lot of women from CrossFit that are amazing at CrossFit from Iceland, you know, strong women. And, you know, the hair, like the blonde, it's like if there was ever a stereotype.
Josh: George doesn't like strong women.
Tommy: If there was ever a stereotype. Of a, you know, like a— think about like a Viking woman. That's what the sort of— that's the vibe that these legit women that are in the CrossFit Games, they're like killers at it. But definitely worth watching. Okay, it's very funny, and you might be offended by the accent, but it's so good.
Josh: I just don't think we do good accents, do we?
Tommy: But you can do German. It's just if you're being a piece of shit about it and you're making fun of people. You don't want, I mean.
Josh: No, I get that.
Tommy: I love it when people do Australian accents.
Josh: GB, you were asking just before about the chicken being cold, whether it was okay to eat.
Jess: I'm feeling slightly sick.
George: Really?
Josh: Really. That happened quickly.
George: I've had 4 of them.
Jess: Spinny balls?
Tommy: Chicken balls, yeah.
Jess: I've had about 3/4 of the hot dog and it's a bit of a struggle from here.
George: Yeah, I loved it.
Josh: No, you just got to eat it quick.
George: Garlic bread's alright, have some of that.
Mason: Yeah, I want to try that.
Josh: Well, I, you know, I've been watching all those short docos on YouTube.
Jess: Yeah.
Josh: Putting a lot of that paste on, on the hot dog. No, it's not good.
Jess: What do you think?
George: It's quite salty.
Josh: How is it?
Jess: Whoa.
George: It's quite salty, isn't it?
Jess: Whoa.
George: It's quite nice. And then it's—
Tommy: You know how things taste like the smell of? So like Denka Rub, there's chewing gum that tastes like the smell of Denka Rub. This tastes like the smell of cat food. That's not that bad. Like Denkerup, you'd think it's like a weird— it's like an ointment to sort of heat up your muscles. Seems weird. Like deep heat.
Jess: Yeah.
Josh: So, um, anyway, uh, yes, I love this shit. Really?
Tommy: Yeah, salty, salty shit.
Josh: I, um, I was watching a doco on, um, eggs. Do you guys know much about eggs?
Jess: No.
George: What sort of Chicken eggs.
Jess: Chicken eggs.
Josh: Yeah. What's the deal? Where do you get chicken? Like, where do you get eggs at the supermarket?
Jess: In the refrigerator.
George: No.
Mason: What? Yeah. Like, it's still in the cold section.
Jess: No, I'm going to say they're in the warm section.
Tommy: Depends what supermarket you're at. Coles.
George: Coles has them just in the aisle.
Tommy: Yeah.
Jess: In the aisle.
Josh: Yeah.
George: Room temperature.
Jess: Woolworths have them with the flour and the milk. No, not milk. Flour and pancake mixture.
Tommy: Why is this, Josh?
Josh: Well, because In the US, they're in the refrigerated section.
George: Yeah, really.
Josh: However, in a— I don't know about Australia specifically. I think it was like Europe in general. They don't put them in the refrigerated section. So, I believe in the US it has to be under 40°F, I think, the temperature. But the reason they don't do it in places like Australia is because going from cold to warm and the transportation, you have risks of things growing on the outside.
Tommy: This is funny. So, last night, at Coles, and I, and I thought the same thing because I'm a big believer of keeping eggs in the fridge. I do it at home.
Josh: Well, you do it, I think, yeah, when you get them, but it's the changing of the temp.
Tommy: Some people don't. Some people go straight to the cupboard. And so, Coles, they have, yep, their aisle non-refrigerated. But then I went around to the dairy section. They have a section of cold eggs. I reckon it's for the people that are like absolutely not.
Josh: A bit funny about it. Do you reckon maybe they're different? Maybe there's some sort of, maybe they're They duck eggs?
Tommy: They were the same, same thing. They were just really literally the cold.
Jess: That is, that's very interesting.
Josh: Can you look up? Yeah, what's the deal?
George: Yeah, well, so refrigerating eggs can assist in reducing the risk of salmonella, but the condensation from the changing of temperatures, like you mentioned, going from, you know, room temp to cold, actually increases the risk.
Josh: And so it's a bit of a catch-22.
George: So if you're buying from the refrigerated section, put it in the refrigerator. But if you're buying from shelved, put it in your cupboard at room temperature.
Josh: Just don't shelf eggs.
Tommy: Yeah, I wonder if that would hurt. I wonder if Woolworths, because I think they're refrigerated. I wonder if that where they get them from, like the person that picks them up.
Josh: Are you saying Woolies are all refrigerated?
Tommy: I think there's Woolies that are, that are refrigerated. And I think Coles aren't.
Josh: Does that work for your theory? Is it Woolworths that you go to? Yeah.
Tommy: Yeah. Trust me, I've spent a bit of time thinking about this. When it happened, it sort of threw me a bit. I was like, oh, what's going on?
Josh: And so, Woolworths are the fresh food people.
Tommy: Well, supposedly.
Josh: And so, is it fresher to have them in the fridge?
Tommy: If the fresh food people think that.
Josh: Well, that's what I mean, right? What's Coles? What are they? What's their tagline?
Jess: Down, down.
Josh: Local, local. Oh, yeah.
George: Coles. Yeah. Something about local. But there's actually a news article, angry Coles customers want supermarket chain to follow Woolworths lead and store its eggs In the refrigerator.
Tommy: So, I just looked up, this is according to Wikipedia, Coles supermarkets, good things are happening at Coles.
Josh: What sort of things?
Tommy: Its current slogan is good things are happening at Coles. I mean, if they're talking about Coles Local, then yeah.
Mason: And the mini collectibles.
Tommy: Yeah.
George: Is that bad for the environment?
Jess: Peter Monty's, is that how you pronounce it? Peter Monty's, IGS.
Josh: Yeah. So, that's just in North Fitzroy.
Jess: Yeah. The worst setup. That's where I go shopping, but it takes me like 10 minutes to find anything. The eggs are basically with the chips.
Josh: I think you said with the chickens.
Jess: Yeah. With all the chips, just off to the right of the deli.
George: Really?
Josh: They also have like a very old school cafe at the top where you can get sort of canteen food sort of things.
Jess: Have a cappuccino and watch everyone shop.
Tommy: There's nothing worse than being in need of items quickly, so you like got limited time at a supermarket and you're at a new supermarket that you haven't navigated before, it's hell. Yeah, you're just like, where is everything?
George: It's like Kmart.
Josh: Different Kmart. Oh yeah, different Kmart.
George: Like they've got stuff in different places. It's a nightmare.
Josh: And they also have— they've got the whole— is your eye just twitch? Probably. Anyway, the uplight. Uplight almonds. Tomorrow's episode, Tony, you'll have to hear that. Uh, you're never pre-recording. As soon as I said Twitch, I'm like, what's the chance that he brings up something that hasn't even happened yet?
Tommy: Yeah, uh, something that has happened, uh, we've had confirmation that Zac Efron is in Byron Bay. Josh, wow, you wanted it. You said no, he's up there. Yeah, I said, well, no confirmed cases, we need to find out.
Josh: It's not COVID.
George: I wish it was.
Tommy: I'd want that then.
Josh: What does that mean?
Tommy: I love Zac Efron.
Josh: Okay.
Tommy: Good rig.
George: Good rig.
Tommy: Spend a bit of time with him. I know where I'm going with this. I just hang out with him so I can pass him on to Jess. That's what I'll do. I wanted your mum to tell us if she'd seen him because she has the bookstore. It's very like anyone, a traveller or, you know, a local could just end up there.
Josh: And he would read books.
Tommy: I could imagine.
Jess: If he was there, I'm actually shocked he hasn't been into the shop.
Tommy: Well, Thor, Thor, who is Chris Hemsworth. Chris Hemsworth's brother, who is Liam.
George: Liam.
Tommy: Yeah. No, but there is some actors that have just cemented themselves as a person, as a role. Mr. Bean. Mr. Bean. Who's that guy?
Josh: Rowan Atkinson.
George: Yeah. Daniel Craig.
Tommy: Yeah. James Bond. Thor.
Josh: He is Thor. This is a fun game. I mean, Robert Downey Jr. Who are 3 other people I know? Harry Potter. Oh, yeah.
Tommy: Daniel Radcliffe. One. So, Wolf of Wall Street was quite cementing for Leonardo DiCaprio. Caprio, but he's got an amazing back catalogue. Strawny. Yeah. Yeah. Who else is there? But then there's people like Nicolas Cage, who is just Nicolas Cage no matter what film. He's a weird unit or he's a nice guy, but still.
George: It's like Matthew McConaughey.
Tommy: Yeah. Who do I think of him? 10 Things I Hate About You. Is it 10 Things? No, sorry. How to Catch a Guy and How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. Yeah.
Mason: What about Jim Carrey?
Tommy: Yeah.
Josh: Liar, Liar, Masked. But I don't think I don't just think about him. I mean, Shane, our mate Shane Jacobson gets Kenny a lot because he was so such a big cult classic. What's another?
Tommy: You've done a good job if you can, if you can cement.
Josh: Yeah. Who's another one?
Mason: What's that guy out of Home and Away?
Jess: Macaulay Culkin.
Mason: No.
Tommy: What?
Josh: That's Home and Away.
George: GB, I was on the same page as you. I was going to say, I would love Macaulay Culkin in Home and Away.
Tommy: Al Stewart.
Mason: Al Stewart.
Tommy: What about like Sarah Jessica Parker.
Josh: She's obviously— Oh, yeah, sure.
Tommy: Sex and the City. Who else is there?
Jess: Just quickly on the Home and Away thing. I used to work with Tody's cousin.
Tommy: Neighbours. No, no.
Jess: Fun little fact. But imagine being like Tody, his whole life has been Neighbours. Like, imagine that for a job.
Josh: Isn't that crazy?
Tommy: He's actually a pilot. Sorry. Did you know that?
Jess: Really?
Tommy: Tody from Neighbours, pilot.
George: Yeah.
Mason: Wow.
Tommy: I've heard him on a radio show and he rocked up in— He was doing live and he rocked up in his Live for Sticks. Surely.
Josh: Like, I mean, why? He went straight off the fly.
Tommy: Can you confirm that?
George: What's his name again?
Tommy: Um, Toadie from Neighbours.
Jess: Toadfish, Rebecca.
Tommy: That's so funny.
Josh: I never watched Neighbours.
Tommy: This has gone over all of our American audience, but the English audience are absolutely frothing.
Josh: Well, so the Neighbours Home and Away, did you get into it when you were growing up? Oh, yeah.
Tommy: Every year.
Josh: I feel like because you could have potentially made your way on set.
Tommy: No, no, no.
Josh: You could have been in. I could imagine if you said, oh yeah, I've done a few eps of Neighbours.
Tommy: I've done extras work on Neighbours, but I hadn't even seen Ricky Gervais' Extras TV show. But when I heard about the premise of the show, which is he's an extra on a TV show and it's all the personalities of the extras that are just obscure and sort of odd and they're wanting to make it in film and television. It's spot on. Like, I went to Nana Wadding where they used to film it. I don't know if they still do film it out there, but Nana Wadding, this huge, huge lot where they have, you know, the, the whatever it is, the diner or the, um, like the restaurant, the restaurant, the pond area.
Josh: I wonder if they're going to do COVID stuff.
Tommy: No, they've stopped filming because of COVID stuff. I'm pretty sure that's happened. That's another thing.
George: He can also fly a plane.
Tommy: He can fly.
George: He's got his pilot's licence and going for the commercial.
Tommy: He's a real catch. But when I went there, there's— you walk through and there's like aisles and aisles of costume. It's amazing. Imagine 20 years or 30 years of a show that has accumulated costumes and different sets.
Josh: It's going to be the Daily Talk Show one day. Can you just imagine?
Mason: Saturdays and the Daily Talk Show hoodie.
Tommy: Yeah.
George: Yeah.
Tommy: There's old chairs that weren't up to scratch. Desk signs. It would be sick.
Josh: Cutting out like a punched wall that one of us is in.
Tommy: Whose head was it? Where was it going? Byron Bay. Your mum hasn't spotted him.
Josh: What were you saying about— you were saying something about the—
Tommy: Oh yeah, so Chris Hemsworth's brother.
Josh: What's he from?
Mason: Liam?
Tommy: Yeah.
Josh: What's he from?
Tommy: No, no, no, no, no.
George: He did Mockingjay.
Tommy: Yes, yes, yes.
George: What's it called?
Jess: Hungry Games.
Josh: Hungry Games.
George: Hungry Games.
Jess: Hungry Games.
Josh: Hungry Games. Hungry Games. Hungry Jack's. If Hungry Jack's don't do a Hungry Games, that's a mistake. Opportunity.
Jess: Fuck yeah. Having a bad day.
Tommy: How much did he drop at your mum's store? Rocked it and spent $1,200 on books?
Jess: Yeah, just for Christmas presents.
Tommy: I thought, what a baller. I'd love to just have $1,200 to drop on books for all me mates.
Josh: I've done it before, remember?
Tommy: You went into debt. Yeah, he didn't even touch the sides of her old Mockingjay. Um, so he's been confirmed, the confirmed sighting of Zac Efron at the Byron Bay General Store Cafe this week.
Jess: Oh, there you go.
Josh: Any photos?
Tommy: Yeah, there is him getting into his car.
Josh: What sort of car?
Tommy: Just looks like a 4-wheel drive, like a Patrol, Nissan Patrol.
Jess: So, the General Store is basically halfway between Suffolk Park and Byron Bay town.
Tommy: Okay.
Jess: And sort of just like on this one— It's— They call it a General Store because it's like, I think it used to be a general store back in the day, but they've sort of redone it. It's quite a cool little cafe.
Tommy: Is it towards Thor's house?
Jess: Yeah.
Josh: Yeah.
George: Is that a thing? Like people are just like, man, Thor's house is up here.
Jess: Yeah, I think it's up in the hills somewhere. It's a mansion. It looks like a hospital or a school from the air.
Josh: From the air? From the air.
George: In my helicopter.
Josh: With Toadie?
Jess: Yeah. If you look up what his house looks like, it's like there's a shot from the sky.
Mason: So, you've just seen a picture?
Jess: Yeah.
Tommy: Yeah. Oh, it looks like Westfield. No, you're spot on.
Jess: And then there's a house next door to it and it looks tiny. His house looks like a bloody school or something. It's ridiculous.
Josh: Like, portables?
Tommy: There's no photos of it. Nah, there's no photos of it inside.
Josh: Sure.
Tommy: That's a weird thing. When you move into a place, if it has been rented before, you can see the insides.
Josh: Yeah.
Tommy: Like anyone's house, you find out their address, usually you can see.
Josh: You would love that, wouldn't you?
Tommy: What?
Josh: When you find out someone's net worth or, you know, what their house is worth.
George: I love a little net worth. Yeah.
Jess: Yeah.
Tommy: What's his net worth?
Josh: What's Thor's net worth? How long until we get a net worth up on us? Can we get— Do you think— It's all bullshit.
Tommy: Too, because I have heard Lil Wayne, who is, you know, who Lil Wayne is.
Josh: Lil Wayne, yeah.
Tommy: Lil Wayne, little, little man. Lil Wayne was talking about it in an interview. He's like, I don't know where the fuck they got that number, but it's nowhere near that.
George: Yeah, they're even saying 130 mil for Chris.
Tommy: That makes sense. See, I'm big on the, um, we've just watched the 3 Iron Man, 3 Iron Man movies. And we've watched—
Josh: What's the deal? Iron Man is a superhero.
Tommy: Yeah. It was like the original that sort of kicked off the whole—
Josh: What does he do? Does he jump around like Bill Williams does?
Tommy: He really doesn't know. This is Tony Stark. I reckon Bodie knows more pop culture than you.
Josh: I just, I just don't know. So, is it like a Spider-Man?
Tommy: Robert Downey Jr. He's a billionaire genius that his father— Tech inventor. His father was a weapons creator for the, you know, Stark Enterprises, Stark Industries. And then Tony takes over the empire and then he's building weapons that are killing people overseas, but then uses this technology after he was captured.
Josh: Where is it based, in like New York or something?
Mason: LA.
Josh: Okay.
Tommy: Yeah.
Josh: Do you think I would like that if I got into it?
George: Was that Malibu? Is that where it's based?
Tommy: Yeah, it's meant to be in Malibu. No, it wasn't actually.
George: You know, they actually built that. That's an actual house.
Tommy: It's not in Malibu though, it's towards San Diego. Yeah, sick.
George: Yeah, it's crazy.
Tommy: And so anyway, uh, it's amazing because he's just like creates shit that's futuristic and he's red and silver in colour.
Josh: That he's— that's that one.
Tommy: Yeah, red and then yeah, a little bit.
Josh: And so he's— he goes into that to do what?
Tommy: Into what? He's like fighting people, so he creates the weapons and he was creating weapons that hurt people and then he realised after seeing the shit that he he needs to stop. And so he became the weapon and looked after the world.
Josh: Interesting.
George: $30 mil for his, um, his place, by the way. Robert Downey, or the, um, in the movie.
Tommy: Thanks, Steve. I'll just write that down. No, it's, um, worth seeing. It's worth watching.
Josh: How many, like, if I was to watch Iron Man, the thing, do I then have to watch all these other ones as well?
George: No, no, no.
Tommy: You can start at Iron Man, but then Spider-Man links into it, um, Thor links into it, Ant-Man links into it. This is Stan— Stan Lee.
George: Yeah, Stan Lee.
Tommy: Stan Lee. So the guy, he passed away a couple of years ago, the creator of Marvel.
Josh: Yeah.
Tommy: And the, the web of storylines is ridiculous, and they all filter through, and Stan Lee makes a, makes a cameo in all of the movies.
Josh: That's cool.
Tommy: And so he could be playing some old man like, what are you doing? Or just walks past and says, g'day. It's all—
George: He could be the mailman dropping off the mail.
Tommy: Yeah, he does all these funny, fun roles.
Jess: Yeah.
Tommy: So, that's something to watch.
Josh: Jess, you were annoyed that we were going to say something about you and then we stopped or something.
Mason: That's right, on Monday.
Josh: What happened?
Mason: Well, we were discussing that you were the vision guy and Tommy is the culture guy. And then you said, and Jess is a nice middle person or something, and I just want to know where I fit.
Tommy: Oh, because you were—
Josh: because we then sung Happy Birthday or something. Was that what happened, JB?
George: You were—
Jess: yes. Yeah, yeah.
Josh: So we never got to it.
Jess: You're about to say something. We're going— we're saying all these lovely things about anything, everyone, and then you said, oh, and with Jess, and then Tommy went, oh, it's Jess's birthday.
Tommy: Yeah, I was excited.
Mason: And then you went on to someone else's birthday. Scooters.
Tommy: And then we got lost.
Josh: Yeah.
Tommy: Okay. Pretty, it was confusing.
Josh: So, you want us to pick that up? You want to know what you're good at?
Tommy: Well, yeah, it's getting to it.
Josh: I get it. No, very organised.
Tommy: Well, you want to know if some people are going to, what they want to say about you.
Josh: The organised, you're the, I think that you could be a bit of the glue. You can make sure that things sort of stay calm.
Tommy: I like that. The glue. The glue.
Mason: Holding everyone together.
Tommy: Yeah. Would your Tub of glue look like that.
Josh: Just a— So, you're happy with that? Is that not good?
Mason: No, you need to elaborate.
Josh: Elaborate. No, I get that.
Tommy: I—
Josh: There's— Remember I used to say, say something nice about me? I haven't done that in a while.
Tommy: Say something nice about me.
Mason: Yeah, you just need to maybe explain why you're so great. No, no, no. Where you want me to fit. Maybe this could be my KPI.
Josh: Okay. Yeah, yeah, working KPI.
Tommy: Well, I feel like you need to do it, Josh, because, um, just whatever happened last week with the email thing and, you know, a bit of—
Mason: make—
Josh: now the email thing's fine.
Mason: Is it?
Josh: Yeah, no, I'm feeling good about the email thing. Don't you think?
Mason: We're okay with—
Josh: yeah, it was all good with the email thing. Okay, um, we can work on KPIs. Can we all read that, um, book, The Four Disciplines of Execution?
Tommy: If it's good for my optics, then yeah.
Josh: No, definitely.
Tommy: I've got, um, I've got a word that Jess uses.
Josh: Oh, really?
Tommy: And I— and you can throw—
Josh: if I'm using a word too much, you guys are gonna hear, um, yeah, we talk about it in length on tomorrow's show. You fucking idiots. I fucking hate pre-record. We've pre-recorded weekend, guys.
Tommy: We pre-record every weekend show because I fucking want my weekend.
Josh: But the thing is, stop fucking alluding to the shit that's on the next episode. Like, it's a bit confusing.
Tommy: Yeah. By the way, but I want to tell her a word.
Mason: Yeah. What is it? Wait, can we do guesses?
George: Geevee, what were you going to say?
Jess: Oh, no, just on the pre-record thing. I did a very good— I was talking on tomorrow's show and I made out like it was days later than Erica's episode. Just want to point that out.
Josh: It's so annoying.
Tommy: And so, anyway, the word that Jess says Can you, do you reckon you could?
Josh: Yeah, I reckon I can guess it.
Mason: What is it? I actually have no idea.
Josh: Um, what do you say? Gauge?
Tommy: Gauge?
Josh: No, no, no, no, no. Let us guess. What do you like? Um, that's what do you ask? Clarity. I always want clarity.
Tommy: I'd never use that.
George: That head is wrong.
Josh: I always want clarity.
Jess: I don't know.
Mason: I know what it is.
Josh: Um, give me 2 more goes. Can you have a go? What do you know? You know it.
Mason: Yeah.
Josh: Gb or Seb, have you got any guesses? What does Jess say?
Mason: Doesn't start with S. No.
Josh: Oh, okay. Hang on, let me think. So, what does Jess say?
Tommy: Do you want the first letter?
Josh: Yeah.
Tommy: I. I.
George: Interesting.
Tommy: No.
Josh: You say that a lot.
Tommy: It's a word that like, so your optics thing I hadn't been using a fuckload.
Josh: Introspective. No.
Tommy: Introverted?
Josh: What is it? Introverted?
Jess: No.
George: Were you thinking sorry? Is that what you were?
Mason: No, I was thinking sensible. I do say sorry a bit though. Yeah. No, I actually have no idea.
Josh: You say this also hates strong women apparently.
Jess: Jesus.
Tommy: Invested? No, no. Do you want it?
Josh: Do you want me to give it to you?
Tommy: Indicative.
Mason: Oh yes, I know.
Josh: Where did that come from?
Mason: I don't know.
Josh: Indicative. What does that mean? Put it in a sentence.
Mason: Here's an indicative budget for you, but we're not committing to it.
Josh: So, does the indicative bit just—
Mason: Yeah, it's kind of like, here's a ballpark kind of figure.
Tommy: You don't like ballpark? You can use indicative. I think it makes us seem smarter.
Josh: Well, I'm a baseball guy now, so I'd love you to say ballpark.
Mason: I know, but it looks silly in a deck.
Tommy: Ballpark does. Indicative is much more—
Josh: Indicative in a deck. Yeah, I reckon indicative in a deck.
Mason: Indicative budget.
Josh: Indicative. It's got to be a draught budget.
Mason: Um, I don't know, because then this is like, this is like you're guiding.
George: Yeah.
Jess: So is this what you'd send to the client?
Mason: Yeah.
Josh: Indicative.
Tommy: Can indicative go up or down, or is it because you— are you—
Mason: it's like a roundabout.
Tommy: Okay, so but it's nothing less. So it's like you'd set it, it could be more is what you're trying to say, or it could be less.
Josh: It's not pricing it wrong, it's just—
Tommy: no, but you want to word it right where if you've come up with something, it's like, obviously if it's well below scope, you end up being able to go less in price. But you also want to sort of word it in a way where it's like, it's more covering your ass if it ends up being more than what we've just said.
Josh: Yeah, I don't know if it's, you know, I get that.
Tommy: Indicative. Has the optics on the optics?
Josh: No, I think it's very on brand.
Mason: For me.
Josh: For you. Yeah. Which I think it fits. It's like, yeah, we've got it together.
Jess: What was the word that you thought it was going to be?
Mason: Sentiment.
Josh: Sentiment. Oh, yeah, sure. Yeah.
Tommy: So, that's a Rain Man vibe.
Josh: Rain Man loves that word. With the—
Tommy: Any word that I've— You picked up on me, Jess?
Mason: No, not that I can think of. I was trying to think of one that you keep saying, JJ, but I can't remember.
Josh: If we're just going through tomorrow's show. No, it's not tomorrow's show. Yeah. What do you think it is?
Mason: I can't remember.
Josh: Is there anything that you've picked up, like, to describe if we're to create a bit of an employer brand video right now? So people wanting to come work at the Daily Talk Show, a big media company, how would you describe the environment?
Jess: Um, can we get some corporate music?
Josh: I could put on some El Monte. Do you want some, some El Monte?
Tommy: Is that our vibe?
Josh: There you go.
Tommy: Yeah, go.
Mason: Just fun.
Josh: Yeah, great. It's fun, it's fast-paced, it's crazy.
Tommy: Just describing the music.
Josh: It's a comedy. That's very good. I like that. I like that a lot. Can we get that clean? Hang on, I'll turn the music off. Say that again.
Mason: It's a comedy.
Josh: Very good. It's very good. I like accents now. Anything that you picked up, any like weird habits around the office or just things that you're not used to in a workplace having content and things happening?
Mason: How dirty can we go?
Josh: How dirty can we go? Oh my God.
George: Here we go.
Mason: This morning's conversation was—
Josh: Talking about my bowel movements. Yeah, sure. Anything else?
George: 3 times though.
Josh: I didn't talk about it 3 times.
George: It happened 3 times.
Josh: Yeah, you shat your pants 3 times. And it was only— No, I didn't shit my pants.
Mason: He didn't choose this.
Jess: And we weren't going to talk about it on the show.
Josh: Well, dirty, I mean, dirty, I don't associate poo chat with dirty. Dirty sounds like it has some sort of sexual connotation, so I wanted to clear that up. It was all poo chat.
Mason: Well, just having those kind of conversations.
Josh: Too much?
Mason: Nah, it's okay. That was one of our first, so that's okay.
Josh: Great.
George: First for everything.
Josh: Yeah.
Mason: I mean, just in terms of—
Josh: we call them filthies. Your first filthy, it's a filthy, filthy verse. Um, yeah, anything else?
Mason: Just how sporadic you guys are with everything.
Josh: What do you think of the whiteboard?
Mason: Love the whiteboard.
Tommy: Is sporadic, um, a good compliment or a sort of—
Mason: no, it's good. You guys are just random and then you, you like lock yourselves onto something and then you just go with it for ages, and then you're like, ah, I'm on to the next thing now.
Tommy: Yeah. But maybe you're the glue that sort of makes that stick a little bit.
Josh: Yeah. You haven't had any garlic bread yet. Can you test the garlic bread for my channel?
Tommy: Do you like garlic bread?
George: Probably a little bit cold now.
Josh: Okay. So it's— they don't, um—
Tommy: Nothing like cold garlic bread.
George: What do you think?
Mason: It's just like the Coles or the Woolies one.
Tommy: Yeah.
Mason: Like the one that's wrapped in foil.
Tommy: I'm a big fan of that. Like getting a dirty pasta. You know what would be awesome?
Josh: A filthy pasta.
George: Like a Filthy.
Josh: I never use a word. I like the word filthy. What is it?
Tommy: Filthy animal ravioli. Ravioli, bit of just dirty sauce and a bit of dirty garlic bread on a hungover Sunday.
Jess: Bit of carbonara, mate. Gnocchi carbonara, that'll clog you up.
Tommy: Oh, really?
Josh: Is your filthy? Because it's got real starchy. Yeah, just real dense, real starchy. Do you remember on tomorrow's episode when Tony said your t-shirt's starchy. Was that on the show? Was that off air?
George: No, I think that was off air.
Tommy: Pretty sure it was on it.
Josh: Uniqlo. Do you like Uniqlo?
Jess: Yeah, just quickly on Uniqlo.
George: Here we go.
Jess: Oh, give us the live read first.
George: Oh, they're trying to reduce their plastic by 85% by the end of 2020, but they're doing a shit out of struggle.
Tommy: Are they? Well, the keyword trying at the start of that sentence. Yeah, but it's removing packaging, having a crack.
Mason: Yeah.
Tommy: Indicatively try.
Mason: That was the sentiment.
Jess: So, I'm a turtleneck guy now. I just want to say that.
Josh: Is it since the podcast?
Jess: Yeah, since the podcast. It's so warm. I've worn this. This is from Uniqlo. I think it's kind of like your— What was the wool shirt that you wore like every day?
Josh: Merino wool. Yeah. I still have the merino wool t-shirt on underneath. They're great. But you've got it under a hoodie.
Jess: I think it's— Yeah, I do. I think it's polyester, but polyester doesn't stink. I've worn it every day for the last like 4 days.
George: Really?
Jess: Quite happy with it. Going to get 2 more. Well done, Uniqlo.
Josh: How much?
Jess: $30. That's solid.
Josh: What colour? Black?
Jess: This is a navy. But yeah, I will get a black one for sure.
Josh: I mean, yeah, clothing. You were without your wardrobe. You're wearing your sister's clothes.
Mason: Yeah. And that was from Uniqlo as well.
Tommy: When you just— Right now?
Mason: No, this is mine.
Josh: Okay.
Mason: Because I've got my wardrobe back.
Tommy: Okay.
Josh: So, you— Hayden Dibb actually got some nice pants from Uniqlo. It looks great.
Mason: Yeah, I'm looking for basics.
George: Maybe you could get around it, Josh.
Josh: Yeah. I mean, the thing is, at the start of the year, I talked about quality. Like, I wanted to go primo stuff only, buy a few.
Tommy: It's all right, mate. You've talked about a bunch of stuff.
Josh: You've got time.
Tommy: It's fine to go back on it.
Josh: No, like, I don't know the quality of a Uniqlo.
George: A $9 t-shirt can't be—
Josh: Breeze tops from Uniqlo. It's like a real nice sort of comfy—
George: Grace's got a few tops from Uniqlo as well.
Josh: Yeah, you can tell the neck's a giveaway.
Tommy: Okay, there's something that wasn't spoken about. We don't know the answer to this, but I think we can probably workshop it. Um, Sev, when you were down at Rod's beach house, there was a bottle of Death Gin. Who is Hot Accountant? It's, you know, he co-founded Death Gin.
Josh: Sure.
Tommy: What did you think, Seb? How do you think it got there?
George: Well, so Rod in the email mentioned the fact that I'm the gin guy, and so I just thought it was a lovely gesture from him. Yeah, getting a bottle and leaving it at the place.
Josh: We don't know what actually happened.
Tommy: But also, did you say thanks?
George: I did. We did say thank you.
Tommy: Yeah, great. Hot Accountant messaged me and said, what's Rod's details? I didn't think twice about it. I shot him his email and said, I, in my mind, I was like, Jase wants that 10% off. He wants to go stay at this awesome pad. Something has to have happened where—
Josh: Must have been some sort of connection going on.
Tommy: I reckon he's got onto Rod and he's got a bottle delivered to Rod that's then taken it down to the beach.
Josh: Do we know that though? Like, no, no.
Jess: Yeah, I reckon it's got to be.
Tommy: It has to be. That's the only— if, if I hadn't spoken to Jase, I wouldn't think that. I just think he bought it because he—
Josh: but if Rod has just thought of this podcast makes people buy shit.
Jess: But where can you get death gin anyway?
Tommy: There's a few. There's a few.
Josh: Why are you saying it like that? What's with the tone?
Tommy: I mean, it's not in like— It's not in D.R.A. Murphy's everywhere. It's in a few sort of bougie breweries.
Jess: Would you get death gin at the Mornington Peninsula? Feels like it's too boutique. I reckon it's something— I reckon he sent it.
George: E-com.
Tommy: This we need to, because if that, like, another tick for the accountant, if that's the case, if he's done a sort of little duet with Rod, a little collab, supplied some sort of, you know, confidence booster down for Sev's.
George: Yeah.
Tommy: Dutch courage.
Josh: Any collabs that we actually want to do for 2020? Who should we collab with?
Tommy: Brand collabs?
Josh: You know, artists or creatives?
George: Dubai 2020.
Tommy: Oh, that's out.
Josh: That's not happening anymore.
George: That was the thing.
Josh: Well, so yeah, we were going to. I like to say that it was COVID. That's the reason why we're not going. Nothing to do with cash flow.
George: Well, how exciting. It's been postponed by a year.
Jess: Has it?
George: Yeah. So it's running from October 1st, 2021 to The 31st of March, 2022.
Josh: Oh, so let's book.
Tommy: Guess what? 2022.
Josh: Put it in your calendar. We're going to Dubai.
Tommy: 2022. Has to. Let's give it the best. We're going to Dubai in 2022.
Josh: We're going to Dubai. That's huge. That's massive. 2020, 2022 or 2021?
George: October 2021 to March 2022.
Tommy: But what I'm saying is, let's give us the—
Josh: Can we go in? I want to go in 2021.
George: Does it get more shit towards the end? I feel like everyone's a bit sick.
Tommy: Or they've nailed it. Or if anything, anything was to sort of happen there.
George: But imagine the vibe on the watch.
Tommy: I don't know.
Josh: That's true.
Tommy: What's the— COVID outbreak again? I don't know, something. Just think about it. Just let it sort of—
George: It is a lot of like, if it's celebrating the world, so a lot of things are coming, like a lot of people are coming from different countries.
Tommy: Let them sort of iron out bugs.
Josh: I contacted—
Jess: Yeah.
Josh: And viruses and stuff. Well, I, um, no, I contacted them. I sent them a a message in the form, they never got back to me.
Tommy: Yeah, I'm sure Jess would be able to find a few more contacts.
Josh: I just said, hey, we're a podcast.
George: Oh, yeah.
Josh: How about a media pass?
Tommy: Can we do a year and a half arc?
Josh: Well, we've already done one for a long time.
Tommy: Do we know what World Expo is?
Mason: I'm just trying to read the computer because I have no idea.
Tommy: So, 1988 maybe was Brisbane, was it? Brisbane.
Josh: So, the thing with— I like to describe World Expo, it's the Olympics for people who don't like sport.
Mason: Okay.
Josh: And so, imagine orientation day at school where all the different departments are getting set up. Did you ever do that? Were you part of sort of—
Mason: Yeah.
Josh: Open day.
Mason: Open day. Yeah.
Josh: And so, anyway, imagine if instead of it being the arts department and the sports department, it's Australia and China and every country Participates.
Mason: And what do they show?
Tommy: The best of the best.
Mason: Yeah.
Josh: So, it's like—
Mason: Just art tourism?
Josh: Well, it can be anything. So, I guess like, think about if it was an open day at school, you might make— Might be what, like crafts? You could make something, I'm guessing. I don't know, Sev, what are they saying?
George: It's a bunch, like you got arts and culture and then you've got like tech companies there as well. Like it's a— Like they'll have like robots and stuff.
Tommy: So, it's a mix of South by Southwest plus a bunch of—
George: It's culture. Like it's the culture of the country and they're going to show off. Like, I'm sure they'll have like food and stuff.
Tommy: And what do you like?
Josh: It's like Multicultural Day. Did they have Multicultural Day in Bendigo?
Mason: Yeah, I remember. I think we did something for around Ramadan and then what you eat afterwards. Oh, that's cool.
Tommy: Yeah. Queen Elizabeth II arrived at Expo '88 in Brisbane.
Josh: Is that the current queen? Yeah, it looks like it. The way that you were saying that, it was Queen Elizabeth II.
Jess: Yeah.
Josh: Do you know what happens when the Queen dies from a radio perspective?
George: From a radio?
Jess: No.
Mason: What happens? It goes to the Prime Minister. Is that right?
Josh: Well, no. So, I don't know that bit, but I was watching one of those YouTube docos.
Mason: Yeah.
Josh: And what the radio stations do.
George: And so, what was the title of the doco?
Josh: What Happens When the Queen Dies, I think. I may have made that up.
Jess: How do you find them?
Josh: They just get recommended to me.
Jess: All right.
Mason: And so, But it's the Prime Minister, I think, that briefs BBC and then they announce it.
Josh: I missed that bit. But the bit that stood out to me was the music. So, when they find out that the Queen's dead, they have select sad songs that they can play leading up to making the announcement. Yeah. Because you don't want— I guess it makes sense. You don't want to sort of go off the back of like a Billie Eilish banger.
George: Yeah.
Josh: To the announcement. I remember—
George: Well, it might work.
Tommy: I remember being in the car.
Josh: Which one?
George: Bad Guy?
Tommy: I remember being in the car.
Josh: Tone De Nye, Dance Monkey?
Tommy: Absolutely not. I was in the car when, I remember exactly when I heard that Michael Jackson had died.
Josh: Oh yeah.
Tommy: This is before all the controversy.
Josh: Maybe controversy was there before he was dead.
Tommy: Yeah, but less sort of at the forefront, less two-part documentary style.
Josh: There was that doco though, wasn't there? Finding Neverland.
Jess: Was that a good doco? Yeah, there was two, I think.
Tommy: Yes, I mean, it's a bit much.
Jess: Yeah, pretty intense.
George: It was heavy. That's why I didn't watch it.
Josh: I feel like you're a Michael Jackson fan, Jess.
Mason: I did like Michael Jackson.
Tommy: Yeah, I like his music. Yeah, I don't like what he stood for or what he was about. Love his music.
George: Really? What did he stand for?
Tommy: I don't know.
Mason: Pedophilia.
Tommy: Your action— well, your action— you are as good as your actions. And if his actions were that of a pedophile, not ideal. Disgusting.
Mason: Yeah.
Tommy: But, mate.
Josh: Not ideal is an understatement, isn't it?
George: Absolutely.
Jess: I watched Savile, Jimmy Savile.
Josh: Oh, yeah. Louis Theroux's doco.
Jess: Yeah, the doco.
Josh: Did he do a... Savile? Does he do... So, this is a... Savile?
Tommy: I don't know how to say it.
Mason: Savile.
Josh: Yeah. Jimmy Savile. So, he was a children's entertainer in the UK. Massive, huge. And Louis did a day in the life type style documentary. Did it all, and then once Savile died, came out that he was a complete pedophile. But also during that documentary, there was sort of murmurings, but Louis never really dug into it. And so I haven't seen— did he in the follow-up, does he, does he do like a pre-bit at the start being like, hey guys, before you watch this, I find out after?
Jess: Yeah, he does. It's so interesting, like, for Louis to basically say, I've made this whole documentary on this guy I can't believe I've missed some stuff. Like, how did I not see that this guy was a complete, like, pedophile?
Tommy: I mean, but that's his one mission to make sure people don't find out he's a pedophile.
Jess: So, that's the thing. He's doing it, right? But then Louis, from Louis's perspective, is like, I'm this great documentary maker. I'm meant to be able to find storeys in people. This guy's completely played me. So, he goes back into his archives, basically finds footage from making that documentary. And there's all these signs. He's just been this real weirdo, and he's just— it's kind of— and then he goes and interviews, uh, people who have been assaulted by Jimmy, and they're saying, yeah, I watched your doco, and it was just— I couldn't believe you were falling for everything he was saying and all this stuff.
Tommy: Manipulative people, dude. Fucking— there's a reason they're manipulative.
Josh: Like, have you heard about the, um, old mate Epstein's—
Tommy: yeah, what's her name?
Mason: Gail?
Tommy: Uh, no, um, Ghislaine. Ghislaine.
Josh: How do you go from Gail to Ghislaine? G. Thank you.
Tommy: Gail, Ghislaine, uh, G-H-I-S-L-A-I-N-E. No, that's her first name.
Josh: And so anyway, she was Maxwell.
George: Ghislaine, I reckon.
Josh: So she's heavily mentioned in the Netflix doco going through all of the, um, the Epstein stuff.
Tommy: I've heard people talking about her and saying that she is like one of the ringmasters of it all. And so they've caught her and they're prosecuting her. But this is saying that she's— she— so everyone thought that when Epstein died, they'd have— or was killed supposedly— that there would be, you know, kill switch. It's like, if I get killed, everything's going to drop, a hard drive is going to be leaked, and it's going to have Bill Clinton, you know, it's going to reveal— that's what everyone thought, right? And so now she's been caught, and she will be prosecuted and charged in New York City. But they're saying that she's now going to come out and start dishing the dirt on everyone. So, all the other high-profile, you know, pedophiles.
Josh: Really? So, yeah, this could be very—
Tommy: Huge, dude. Like the conspiracy theorists, anyone that was behind it are going to be going. It's a good weekend.
Josh: On the president front, watched another documentary on presidents. How much do you reckon they're paid a year after they've been president?
Tommy: $250,000 a year.
Josh: Yeah, around $200,000.
George: Yeah, that's crazy.
Jess: The—
George: And they— Do they get a security team? Because the US, you get like—
Josh: How much do you reckon? So, $200,000 a year. How much do you reckon Bill Clinton has made on speeches, doing speeches post-presidency?
Tommy: $50 million.
Josh: Over $100 million.
Tommy: Yeah, it's disgusting. But some of the dirty shit, like, if you're into conspiracies, look into the money that Hillary and Bill were making for travelling to like countries that are like funding— banks are funding the speeches and then they're charging a million bucks to come and speak. And it's all just a bit fucking hairy.
Josh: Did you hear about the $100 million that was stolen from a diamond storage place in Belgium?
Tommy: $100 million cash or in diamonds?
Josh: $100 million in diamonds. Wow. So, yeah, a guy An Italian dude, actually, like it's this hub where in Belgium all of the, something like 80% of all diamond sales happen. Antwerp. Is that what it's called?
George: Antwerp Diamond Heist.
Josh: And so anyway, he—
George: More than $100 mil.
Josh: Yeah. Well, so the funny thing is he later on said that he reckons it was more like $20 million and they were doing a bit of an insurance job.
Jess: Mate.
Josh: But—
Tommy: We've all done it.
Josh: Have we? No, I haven't. And so, Yeah, he was working there for a couple of years and did so many different things. Like, they created a vault outside of the building to test it, like around the corner where him and a few others would go through the different stages to make sure that it was perfect because they had to do it in pitch black. And yeah, they managed to do it. Yeah.
Tommy: I mean, this, if you like this kind of shit, you got to enjoy Inside Job or The Italian Job.
Josh: As in, well, I think that the truer storeys are better than the made-up ones.
Tommy: Yeah, but you just gotta let go and just enjoy. Let go of challenging if it's real or not.
Josh: Like, well, I know it's not real.
Tommy: No, but you can't—
Josh: But why not just—
Tommy: No, because some of them are great. Like, Iron Man's obviously not real.
Josh: But don't you think there's something awesome about it being real?
Mason: Yeah, absolutely.
Tommy: That too. But also there is something about watching Taken and some sort of Lethal Weapon or Jason Bourne. Like, there's a reason there's films that have made you know, billions of dollars because people love it, right? It immerses them in this thing that's like clearly not real, but it's like, imagine if you were Avatar, you could fucking fight. Avatar. Yeah, Star Wars. I don't get it, but sure.
Josh: There's some interesting ones on like, uh, because I get it, as in I get, I get it.
George: No, I don't get it either.
Tommy: Yeah, I don't get it.
Josh: Interesting docos on Disney, like Pulp Fiction, about him sort of setting all up in Florida and how they were doing that. They had something like 12 different entities that were buying up all the land. They want to be very secretive because they'd done Disneyland in California, and then they realised there's a lot of the population on the East Coast. And so, yeah, they'll basically— they had to go around with different entities, I guess, so that they could get better deals as well.
George: I couldn't see it coming.
Josh: They bought like— they bought like a hectare for like $7 in some, some places. So, they got really good deals.
Mason: It's outrageous.
Josh: Do you know how big Disney World is?
Tommy: What is in miles?
Josh: Miles, yeah.
Tommy: Miles squared, like 12?
Josh: 40-something.
Mason: Wow.
Josh: Can you just double-check that, Seb? Learned that on YouTube last night. How good is YouTube?
Mason: It's great. Did you know, sorry, another fun fact about Disneyland or just Disney in general is that Rebel Wilson—
George: 34 hectares.
Mason: Is a— How many miles? Concentrate.
Josh: Is it Disneyland or Disney World? You know the difference?
George: I've done Disneyland.
Josh: No, but I'm just— I wanted that, but go on, Jess. Sorry.
Mason: Nah, does one have a castle or something?
Josh: No, no. So, Disneyland was the California Anaheim and Disney World is Florida. They have Epcot and it's a bit shit. Like, Bri and I went to the Epcot one and it's meant to be a futuristic, like, example of the world, but it was made in the fucking '80s or something. So, it's like real pov. But what's the deal with Rebel?
Mason: So, Rebel has free access to Disneyland apparently because— World. Both of them.
Josh: Yeah. Yeah.
Mason: I guess it's like a— Because she's a descendant of Walt Disney.
Josh: Is she?
Mason: Wow.
Josh: That is a really good fact.
Mason: Thank you.
Josh: Can we look that up?
George: It's 43 square miles is Disney World.
Josh: Geez, I'm good. I'm getting better. How far away is the sun from—
George: What did you say?
Josh: 153 million kilometres. 153 million. Can you look that up as well?
George: 152 million.
Josh: 152.
Jess: Rebel Wilson's show, Last One Laughing. Bloody good watch. Recommend it. While we're doing recommendations. And is there a show called Last One Laughing, which is a bunch of comedians in a house together for 6 hours. They're not allowed to laugh. So funny.
Josh: Oh, that's good. And so, what do they do?
Jess: Try and make each other laugh. And if you, even if you just like slightly, like your eyes start going and you start to kind of smile a bit, you get a yellow card. And if you do that again, you get a red card and you're out. Frank Woodley is in it. Sam Simmons, Ed Kavalee, Anne Edmonds.
Josh: Do you know where the house was?
Jess: No. Do you?
Josh: No.
Jess: No, I don't know.
Tommy: Yeah. You asked it like you were—
Josh: No, it's 43 miles.
Tommy: So, Rebel Wilson defends claim she's related to Walt Disney in defamation case. So, she was in that defamation case a bunch of years ago, won a heap of cash suing Batman.
Josh: So, when she was—
Tommy: And she said Rebel Wilson has denied her grandmother made up A lovely but untrue story. Their family was related to pioneer animator Walt Disney.
Josh: Wait, so it's—
George: She said it when she was 5 years old.
Tommy: Yeah.
Josh: So it's true or not true?
Tommy: Wilson claims she has never lied about her real name, age, or childhood.
Jess: Oh, so this was written up saying that she lied about it.
Tommy: So the ABC said, you know that your storey doesn't add up, don't you?
Josh: You weren't expecting this. You just read the headlines.
Tommy: It's just a storey spun by your nanny Joyce and nothing more.
Josh: This is what was in the Bauer media.
Mason: I just want to know where you're getting that information.
Tommy: This is from the New Daily.
George: I'm on Daily Mail.
Tommy: Yeah, similar. The New Daily.
Josh: The New Daily.
George: How's this? Rebel's last name is similar to the surname of Walt's wife.
Jess: Similar.
George: Yeah, it's B— Rebel Wilson's last name, Bounds, B-O-W-N-D-S, and then Walt's wife, B-O-U-N-D-S.
Josh: So, does she have unlimited access to Disney?
Tommy: Well, this is— She went to Disneyland.
Mason: I just read this bit.
George: Hang on, it's not Daily Mail.
Tommy: No. So Rebel Wilson goes to Disneyland with just the family to celebrate her mother's birthday after claiming in defamation court battle she was related to Walt Disney.
Josh: Oh, there we go. So that's what you want.
George: Access to secret club.
Jess: Mate. Really?
George: Yeah.
Mason: Apparently.
Josh: Is that just an American— She's an American Express customer.
Tommy: You've got to watch what you tell your kids. I tell— so I've got this teddy bear that I got at my christening that is however old I am, 32. It's like, it's amazing how good a condition— good condition.
Josh: Is it the blue one?
Tommy: No, no, no. Um, it's like a— some brown bear. It's about this big, you know, 40 centimetres tall.
Josh: It's quite good.
Tommy: And, um, the guy who made Free Willy, the director of Free Willy, Elephant Dumbo Drop, The Phantom, a couple of other films, but, you know, what was that elephant one? Dumbo Drop.
Josh: I haven't seen it.
Tommy: Yeah, old school, old school.
George: Dumbo Drop.
Tommy: Elephant Dumbo Drop. Anyway, Free Willy, if you've seen it, the first one, Operation Dumbo Drop. My godfather directed that, and I told Bodhi, I said, oh, the guy who directed Free Willy gave me this, because Bodhi loves Free Willy. It's one of his favourite films. And now every time he has the doll, the bear, he's like, The guy who made Free Willy gave you this.
Josh: Oh, that's good.
Tommy: And so he's on to it.
Josh: Well, it's not a lie, so that's okay.
Tommy: It's not a lie. Definitely not a lie. But it's, um, you could tell a kid anything and they'll—
Josh: Yeah, that's true. They'll hold on to it.
Tommy: They'll say it. Yeah. Anyway, uh, rating IKEA's food as a whole, just like your experience eating it, tastes out of 10?
Jess: I mean, you wouldn't live on it. You'd probably get it. It's probably a sometimes food.
Josh: 7 out of 10.
Jess: 4 out of 10 for me.
George: 7 out of 10 is quite high.
Josh: I think you need to think about the category that it's in. It's from a furniture shop.
Jess: Oh yeah.
Josh: Like, what do you guys pay?
George: Okay, well, Bunnings sausage, where's that in comparison?
Tommy: Yeah, I think lower. Really?
Jess: Bunnings sausage is way better than hot dog.
George: Bunnings sausage is a great—
Tommy: Yeah.
Josh: Is that what you're saying?
Tommy: No, I reckon that's better.
Josh: What is?
Tommy: I reckon that experience, how I feel right now, I haven't felt like this. After a Bunnings sausage.
Josh: You feel worse with the Bunnings sausage?
George: Do you reckon it's the fish sauce?
Tommy: No, I feel better now. Yeah, that's what I mean.
George: Do you reckon the fish has done it?
Tommy: No, the fish hasn't done it. That's a low point of this day.
Mason: But how much did that cost?
Tommy: I don't know, I didn't look it all up. It was $40.
George: We've got a lot of crackers left.
Tommy: Oh, and we've got—
Josh: are they savoury or sweet?
Tommy: And we got chocolate.
George: They're rye crispbread. And so we've got, we've got a block of chocolate that—
Tommy: yum, yum!
Josh: We will smash it.
Tommy: It's milk chocolate, but All right, Gronks, the weekend we've got Tony Lodge and then we've got Ronan from Luna.
Josh: Yeah, Ronan Heiney from the, uh, Luna legal firm. Yeah, they do, they look after startups and stuff, which is very interesting. We absolutely grill him. He was expecting to talk about squeegees and we put him through a defamation. All right, uh, it's a daily talk show interrogation.
Tommy: No, no, no. I know the word.
George: Deposition. Deposition.
Tommy: Yeah, a deposition. We basically—
Josh: What do they say? I want to enact my amendment.
Tommy: What? Defamation. Defamation is what Bauer Media did.
Josh: Yeah. What's the, um, uh, what's the fourth? The fifth.
George: The fifth. The fifth.
Josh: The fifth. The amendment.
Tommy: I plead the fifth.
Mason: I plead.
Tommy: I take the fifth. I choose.
Josh: I think the fifth is the one— that watch brand that comes out every month.
Tommy: The Fifth Amendment. Is it that you don't have to say anything? It's like What's wrong?
George: No, because there's just a little bit of, um, the rye bread on the, um, keyboard and it's just a bit irritating, so I just thought I'd shake it off to get it, you know, out of the case.
Tommy: So the, the right against self-incrimination, you know what prick fucking kept on saying?
Josh: Epstein.
Tommy: Yeah, he's like, the Fifth.
George: That's annoying. Why is that a thing?
Tommy: It's in the Constitution, isn't it?
Jess: Yeah, but why?
Tommy: There would be a point at which it serves you. There's a point at which, like, you're being interrogated about something you didn't fucking do, not good for justice, and you say it. It's just sickening when a paedophile gets to say it. Yeah, but that's what I mean.
George: To get there in the first place, you've probably done something not ideal, you know. Yeah, it's pretty hard.
Tommy: I feel like it'd be pretty hard for me.
George: Yeah, I know.
Josh: Service is more of a guilty until proven innocent guy.
Tommy: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
George: Yeah, definitely.
Josh: It's a daily talk. So, uh, see you tomorrow, guys. Have a good one.
Tommy: See you.
