I Get It

Josh: The Daily Talk Show.

Tommy: It's The Daily Talk Show, episode 878.

Josh: It's weekend banter. Grace Paris and GB. Hello. Welcome, welcome.

Grace: Cup ourselves up.

George: Already laughing, guys. That was a great pre-show banter.

Josh: Yes, yes.

Tommy: Have we used it all up?

George: Yeah, mate.

Josh: Keep it for the show. The show is what we say.

Tommy: So Grace, congratulations, 6 months. This weekend.

Grace: Survived.

Tommy: Yeah, with Mr. 97, which is very exciting.

Josh: 6 weeks since meeting him or 6 weeks?

George: 6 months since.

Josh: Sorry, 6 months.

Grace: So, 6 weeks, 6 months since we kind of made it official that we were boyfriend and girlfriend.

George: Yeah. And then how long after that then did you move over here?

Grace: I think it was 2 and a half months.

George: Yeah, right.

Grace: That I moved over.

Tommy: So, 4 months in the house.

Grace: I was actually thinking about this the other day. 'How strange is it though? Like, haven't met the guy and just moved over to Melbourne.' I was like, 'My friends probably think I'm such a weirdo,' or something like that.

Josh: Well, I wasn't gonna say it, but thanks for bringing it up.

Grace: How is it, mate? You guys might think I'm a weirdo.

Josh: Absolutely don't think you're weird. There is a bunch of things in life where you ex— like, to think about them like you're saying is when it could be seen as a bit weird. There's so many things we do though, but if you— because if you zoomed out, you're like, What weird behavior. I mean, even what we do with the podcast, like it's all just a bit weird. Everything's a bit weird. I love a weird life.

Grace: Yeah. True.

Josh: I mean, I'm drinking from Bodhi's little sippy cup right now.

Tommy: It looks like a chocolate syrup. What are you drinking?

Josh: No, this is just his little bottle.

Grace: It's a Saturday.

Josh: I don't have like cups, a bit annoying. Like I see the point of sippy cups. Sometimes I fill up Bodhi's and just suckle at it.

Tommy: I get it. Talking about sippy cups, I straight away go to for like the US and having big sippy cups and I go to the big takeaway, like the big gulps, you know, like the, like just big cup holders. Grace, do you have a favourite fast food?

Grace: Probably Nando's. Yeah, good choice.

Josh: Yeah, well done.

Grace: Yeah, I love Nando's and I probably had it for the first time in 4 months a couple of weeks ago and I was so excited.

Josh: That's when you had the—

Grace: They actually deliver.

Josh: Loaded chips. Mate, we've just loaded you up with some points for Sev's.

Grace: I know.

Josh: Dinner's sorted tonight. Dinner's sorted.

Grace: Date night.

Josh: Date night sorted. Look out, big spender, Sev.

Tommy: So, and what's the, what's it? So Sev's is obviously here every weekend, Bantries. He's got a lot on. So we thought we'd give him a little bit of a break from the show so he can keep editing. What has he said on air or things that he's sort of expressed that you were sort of yelling at the screen that you would like to clarify? Is there anything?

Grace: It was about the, when you brought up about his kind of suits and his clothes and things like that. I think I clarified it on Hump Day, but it was, yeah, I wasn't asking for him to change his clothes. I was just like, oh, those pants look cool. And then he was like, oh yeah, I need another pair. So we started looking. What else?

George: Yeah, so you don't dress him?

Grace: No, I don't dress him. It's just a joke, but. And you can tell sometimes that I don't. Need to get him a new white t-shirt though, because he's got that stain. Oh, so you are dressing him. Well, he just won't buy it himself, so I'll have to do that. What else? I think most things he says are quite true, but he does like to exaggerate a few things every now and then. I'm sure he's told storeys off air that's like, he's exaggerated about me, but that's all right.

Josh: Well, if we're sort of having housemate gripes, because you're housemates with him now as well as boyfriend-girlfriend. Bodhi, mate, I went down, I went to the toilet the other day, sat down, bit dark, sat straight down, pulled me pants down, wasn't even doing number 2, just wanted to sit down, bit lazy. As I—

Tommy: It's like that's more work, to be honest. Yeah.

Josh: Nah, it's comfortable.

Tommy: It's like squatting.

Josh: Hamish Blake sits down. I've heard him talking about sitting down. Easy, comfy, real comfy.

Tommy: I think Andy Lee does as well.

Josh: Like, I think maybe it's the greats sit down, mate.

George: The greats.

Josh: Get on board. Get on board.

Tommy: I think, yeah, Andy had some surgery that he's spoken about on his— Well, what did you call it? An eye the other day? A cock eye? Which I'd never heard of.

Josh: No, he had a growth. In his, um, in his bum. That's what he said. He said on Jason PJ. Okay, um, I think he's doing well now. We didn't chat about it on our show. Uh, as I sat up, so as I stood up to leave, as soon as my bum cheek had left the toilet seat, that's when the air hit my bum and I felt my ass cheeks were saturated. Bode's gone in, pissed on the seat like an absolute gronk, and I've just gone straight in, sat straight down onto the wet seat.

Tommy: Oh, that's annoying. There is something you don't want that. Don't you think there's a, um—

Josh: he's 3, if anyone's wondering. But if you didn't know, I had a son. 3.

Tommy: I mean, it reminds me of, I feel like there's probably 3 times in my life. It's very, very rare. I think I've really dialled it in since. But when, have you ever had to, you're in the shower and then decide that you need to go to the toilet? Like, it's only happened maybe 3 times in my life, but that feeling of being soaking wet and then having to do a shit is some of the worst feeling that's, I reckon, I think it's worse than shitting on the couch.

Grace: You try and grab it, you don't get it. It's still moist down there.

Tommy: Yeah, it's not great, is it?

Josh: It's— I literally have lifted Bodhi. He's the kind of guy, because it's real childlike behavior, but we've all done it. I grab him because he's like, I gotta do it, and then I grab him and I bring him and I like hold him and he's like slippery, and then I put him back straight in.

George: It's hilarious.

Josh: But yeah, it's, it's, it's more rare. It's as adults, it's just You know, it's more of a like, oh no.

Tommy: Yeah, it's not ideal. I mean, even things like growing up when I was a kid, the like knowing that you needed to wee before you were going on a road trip. Like it didn't matter how much, you know, my mum drilled it into me like, go, like do it now so you don't have to do it. I don't need to go now. And you'd be 30 seconds in, you're like, oh shit, I could do a wee right now.

Josh: How long, if there was no education around toilet training, would you pick it up, do you think? Because what you're talking about, your mum, that's literally her continuing her toilet training with her 14-year-old son.

Grace: Yeah.

Josh: Because it just doesn't stop. I can imagine.

Grace: Yeah.

Josh: 14?

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: Car trip. But when do you think you would actually work it out if there was no—

Tommy: I don't know if you would, would you?

Josh: Well, it's like dropping a child into— if I— Bodhi was born in Australia, you drop him in Pakistan, he'll start speaking the language by just being— by just proxy being there. He'll be— isn't that fucking crazy? Where you're born is the language you speak. It's just even if you're not— you don't go to school, there would be— you'd be picking up from surroundings.

Tommy: It's like wild dog, you know, so you always see probably once every 5 years a new storey of someone that grew up with dogs Wild dogs and they bark and stuff.

Josh: Wild ones like a Bali style, like where they're—

Tommy: Yeah, like if you've seen that where it's like, yeah, they learn how to bark and they learn how to do all that. Like I've even seen a YouTube video where it was like there was a guy who lived on a farm and he could do all the animal sounds. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Josh: Is that Dan Mace's video? That guy, man, that guy. But what you're talking about is like really being one with the animals. It's like your situation has caused you to create some connection because you haven't had the friends to play with the next minute. You're best friends with a pig.

Tommy: I get it.

Josh: It is bizarre, the connection there. I mean, are you a— Do you feel you're connected to animals, Josh?

Tommy: No, not really, to be honest. Like, I know that's an unpopular opinion, isn't it?

Josh: I don't think so. I mean, you see the dogs.

Grace: Hello, doggies.

Tommy: Well, I just think like— You won, ding, ding, ding. I think— Yeah, I think it would have to be my pet. It would have to be very specific. But it's even like when we've spoken to Jess about kids, she's like, "Oh, I'm not really sort of maternal or whatever, but I reckon if I had my kid, like, it would be different." Is that really something you want to risk, though? Like, if you're just hoping, if you're not really that into kids, but you think that potentially If I have a kid, I'll like them more?

Josh: I think you'd be— I think there'd be, generally speaking, this is very much a generalization, but the people who are into having kids, I reckon there'll be more people that have a kid thinking they're going to be into having a kid and then realize, fuck, maybe I wasn't the person I thought I was going to be. There's probably more people surprised by the primitive release of whatever happens in that process Like Jess saying, I don't know about the kid thing. Um, she actually talks about on next week's Too Much Telly episode that earlier she wasn't as much, uh, maternal, but now the thoughts are moving more that way. And so yeah, I mean, look at all the people, look at all the humans in the world, the people that probably have had kids when they haven't wanted, and then all of a sudden it's their role. It's I mean, it's hard. It's not really, it's not, it's a weird thing to just be like, I want to do it. I guess that is clarity. Grace, what do you think? I mean, we're not the ones gonna carry a child that can even, has the ability. We're all, you know, losers that can't do that. Except you, you're the only one out of us here.

Grace: Yeah. I don't know. I think it's all, yeah, I guess like what you were saying, it's a weird thing to, to want without having experienced it. But, and I don't know if it's like a society thing of like, because like for me, like I want kids and I think I'd be a good mother, but I haven't, like I don't know if I would be. So yeah, I don't know, I could have kids and then be like, oh my God, this isn't what I wanted. So yeah, I don't know, it's a weird thing. And maybe it's society saying women should have kids. So maybe that's kind of playing in my mind subconsciously or, but yeah, I'm not really sure.

Tommy: What's the filter that you use in regards to I want kids? Who's it for?

Josh: What's it for?

Grace: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Tommy: Do a little SWOT analysis for us.

Grace: What's it for? Filter, what do you mean?

Tommy: So like, so what's the, so for instance, you say like, I wanna have kids, like I wanna be a mum. And so if you think about it, it's like, okay, is it the, you know, family holidays? Is it the like cleaning shit off the toilet bowl? Is it off the couch? You just need to date me for that one. But the, yeah, what is it that you are drawn to in regards to?

Grace: I think it's the kind of the family, just the being together, the family, you know, having, you know, you can get to go on the family holidays and enjoy those times together. The seeing these humans grow up and figure out what they wanna do and try different sports and, you know, or whatever it is. I think that would be amazing.

Tommy: You wanna be a soccer mom?

Grace: Yeah, maybe. Just watching these little humans grow up and seeing what they gravitate towards, I think would be awesome and nurturing them and, you know, helping them figure out who they are.

Josh: I think it's, there's enough info for everybody to grasp what the benefits are. So just when you say the filter thing, it's like there's enough information to know that you love your child, you should, it's usually what happens and caring for somebody and the joy, like all those things. And so yeah, I think probably most people understand that. And then you're a person that has reconciled with that, or that's not the focus points, you're looking differently. It is an interesting, there's just like so many different perspectives. George, would you wanna be a dad? I haven't thought about you as a dad, 'cause I see you as a kid with a mustache, it's pretty great, looks like you just drank chocolate milk and you've got it on your top.

George: Yeah, definitely, I reckon I would love that. I don't know when, like maybe in the next, 5 years.

Josh: Yeah, how old are you?

George: That'd make me 31 and make Han 33.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah. Do you speak about it as a couple?

George: Yeah, yeah, we do, like, but it's not— we're not like— it's, it's in the future for sure. I don't think we're not going to do it now. I'd love to.

Tommy: You say do it, what do you mean?

Josh: He's holding that.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah.

George: Um, I don't know, maybe. Well, apparently the, the median, median age for women now is 35.

Grace: It's older.

George: Um, so, you know, there's no, there's no rush, there's no pressure. Um, and yeah, uh, yeah, in the future for sure.

Grace: I reckon that'd be great because women can have careers now, and so that's why it's being pushed back.

George: Yeah, yeah, right.

Josh: Well, I don't, I don't see anything wrong with that. Maybe the population will be slightly lesser based on having kids at 35 means if you're wanting 3 or 4, there's a lot of, you're pregnant for 6 years straight. It'd be tough. So then, yeah, I mean, it makes sense. Are you an only child, Grace?

Grace: No, I've got an older brother. I was just thinking, Mum had me when she was 40.

Josh: Same. Mum, I mean, and that's our parents, 20-something, you know, 30 for me. Old as fuck.

Grace: It was a long time ago. So older parents isn't like a taboo thing or whatever for me. Like my cousin, my auntie had him at 41. So yeah, I don't see, like, you know, people always like, I know people wanna be young moms and young parents and things like that. But yeah, with the way the world is now allowing women to have careers, I think it's great that, where accepting of older parents. So, yeah.

Tommy: Sorry, Bree's just trying to ask me if I want Subway for lunch and she's like off on the side. It's very, very distracting. I think I'm fine. I'll just have dinner.

Grace: Hi, Bree.

Tommy: They're using the index cards. Grace says hi. But it's very hard to have a conversation when— But if you think I need one, I'll have Italian herb and cheese, 6-inch, just a 6-inch, thank you.

Josh: What's in it?

Tommy: Veggie Delight with all the salad, including veggies.

Josh: Yeah, veggies.

Tommy: Which is the bit that you forgot last time, TJ, remember? That was so fucked up. Breezy, make sure it's the orange cheese because there's a bit of confusion.

Josh: For a guy that didn't really want it, he's pretty—

Tommy: well, if we're gonna do it, let's not fuck it up, you know?

Josh: Yeah, let's go full.

Grace: Is that Old English?

Tommy: Yes, yeah, it's the Old English one.

Josh: But, um, do you get any sauces?

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, Chipotle, which used to be called Southwest. But they did a little rebrand, I think about 10 years ago. What time ago? It was a while ago.

Grace: Was that last month?

Tommy: It's like the Janine's Favourite. Have you ever heard of the Janine's Favourite, Grace?

Grace: No, never. It's like grilled. You guys told me about the Mighty Melbourne from grilled. I was like, what is the Mighty Melbourne? And there's not an— I don't think there's a Perth equivalent.

Tommy: So, Janine's Favourite, Janine Ellis's Favourite. Smoothie at Boost. You can't get it anymore. I've got a theory the reason they stopped doing it was because like it was like illegal to have it on the menu 'cause it was too many calories. 'Cause it's just like very tasty. Or maybe it was costing them too much, but you can, I love that sort of off the menu thing and say, hey.

Josh: Did you get it delivered? Uber Eats?

Tommy: No, no, no. We just, we went to, when we did one of our big walks, Flinders Street Station. And they've got the Boost just down there.

Josh: Yeah. Like, they still had Boost in the years. I mean, they're all in like, a lot of them are in shopping centres. And so it's like, fuck, they're closed.

Tommy: Yeah. Yeah. It felt great. We went along sort of South Bank, being able to have the Boost.

George: Is there much going on down there?

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: Not much at all. No, no. There was seagulls. A lot more dangerous in the CBD. Real nasty, nasty, like their beaks aren't like usually like orange. They're like a dark gray, like I was hissing. Like it was good 'cause I had my mask on so no one knew it was me, but I was like, "Sss, sss, sss, sss," as I'm like drinking my Boost. But what's your seagull story, Grace?

Grace: They're just so vicious. I was attacked twice in the UK last year. So I was in Eastbourne and I'd just gone and got some doughnuts with a friend. And we're walking along the river.

Josh: First mistake.

Tommy: What, donut?

Josh: No, I'm pretending I'm a seagull. I'll pretend I'm Seagulls. I'll come here.

Tommy: You want the doughnuts on your own? Don't invite friends. First mistake.

Grace: So we'd gotten these doughnuts that she'd raved about. So we went and got them and we're walking along the pier and all of a sudden this seagull was coming from behind just attacking me.

Josh: And you're fucking in my place. You're on my bloody pier.

Grace: I'm on the ground like hunched over my donuts, protecting them in a ball. People are laughing around me. There's like school kids laughing around me. We shoo it off.

Josh: Yeah, we call it pathetic in the seagull world.

Tommy: I love that you've really entered into the seagull character, TJ, for the whole show.

Josh: You make the same mistakes.

Grace: And then we started walking again and it came back and this old man like had his walking stick and was like shooing it off for me because I was on the ground just getting fully attacked by it. So yeah, that's my seagull story.

George: On the ground.

Grace: That's why I don't like them. Yeah, I was protecting the the doughnuts and also my face.

Tommy: I actually, I saw— It was coming at me. I saw a meme, which was a tweet, like it was a screen grab video tweet. And it said—

Josh: It's real slimy at that point, isn't it? It's like a bit dirty when you see someone's like screenshots, screen recorded a TikTok.

Tommy: Yeah.

George: It's like—

Tommy: It has that vibe. And so, anyway, it was, it said something like my son being attacked by an eagle or something. And I watched the video and it was a magpie.. And so, I straight away was like, okay, this is a meme page wanting to post this video and they're trying to like give it some context. But they like—

Josh: Was this the kid on the scooter?

Tommy: Yes.

Grace: Oh, so funny. My friend sent it to me as well.

Josh: The best is the guy filming it, who's just laughing as this young 12-year-old's like screaming his lungs out.

Tommy: Ah!

Josh: Head down underneath his scooter.

Tommy: They get real, like, because I saw a photo of a kid that had a bloodied head from a magpie. Because I think I'd get real fucking nasty. Like, if a magpie came for me, I would physically attack it.

George: That swiping.

Tommy: Yeah, I'll just start like fucking just doing this with my hands, just trying to like grab it. I could have in the suburbs where you are, Grace, are you dealing with It being spring now, are you dealing with any sort of magpie issues?

Grace: Yeah, I got swooped the other day when I went for a walk.

Tommy: Oh, no. Did you have to harness a snake?

Grace: I messaged my friends being like, "Another reason to love Melbourne, getting swooped." You know what?

Josh: I reckon it's like, so we've got pet magpies now in our back garden. Maggie. Brodie sees them, "I love you, Maggie." And there's this history.

Tommy: Mason said you would regret that, by the way. He literally said after that show, he's like, "I was watching." TJ's going to regret feeding those magpies.

Grace: Well, and I think Jem's also got a magpie friend as well now.

Josh: Yeah, but here's the point. Here's the kicker of the story. I feel like I'm at one with magpies. Like, I feel like I understand magpies now. Like, I haven't been through— I've been walking, I've been putting in the steps, guys. I've seen some and they just look at me. And I reckon the fucking— there's been some rumours spread that I'm a— I'm all right.

Grace: You're a good guy.

Josh: I'm a good guy.

George: Because they recognise room aces.

Tommy: Yeah, roomer.

Josh: They'll work it out soon, but it'll be after the spring.

George: Yeah, they recognise people's faces, so then they spread the word to their mates and they say, don't, don't swoop this one.

Tommy: Is that true, Chibi?

George: Well, the first bit is for sure.

Tommy: Which bit?

George: They do recognise people's faces.

Tommy: Okay.

Josh: Yeah, like these ones aren't gonna swoop me that I'm feeding them messy monkeys and porridge. Out the back window. It's, um, so it's, yeah, it's being at one with animals as much as sometimes they shit me, you know.

Tommy: I get it.

Josh: The relationship's definitely on my terms.

Tommy: I'm going to try and stop saying "I get it," by the way, after Grace picked up that she thinks it's—

Josh: I hadn't picked it up. I got it. I got it, didn't I?

Tommy: So Grace, you were saying that when I say "I get it," Potentially I'm not listening.

Grace: Yeah, it's because when you're doing two things, which I get can be hard sometimes when you're focusing on— no, no, I actually mean that in the nicest way.

Tommy: I get it. I actually get like what you're going through.

Grace: I get it, I get it, Josh. Yeah, when you're doing like two things at once and you're really focusing and someone's talking, you can kind of hear them, but you're not really listening. At least you respond because Mason He doesn't respond usually.

Tommy: So, all right, this is interesting. So, it's been a while since you've been on. Can you give us a run through? How are things? How are you feeling being in Melbourne? What's the, rather than having to explain to your mates in WA, you can just send this video to them. How's everything going?

Grace: Relationship-wise, everything's going great. I mean, love Mason and I mean, he's so understanding of the situation. Me being here, not really doing anything and sending friends. He gets it. Yeah, he gets it.

Tommy: That's right.

Grace: He just plays that on repeat. I get it. I get it.

Tommy: Okay, I get it.

Grace: But honestly, I haven't been doing too well just because I'm someone who's used to being quite busy and doing a lot of things and like seeing people and—

Tommy: Famously, a lot of friends. Like we, one of the, I don't know if we ever spoke about on the show, but there was— You put that on me. We always said like 20, like you would hang out, you'd go out on a Saturday night and you would have 20 friends, and that's too many.

Josh: Come home with 16 after those fucking birds.

Grace: Yeah.

Tommy: How many have you lost through COVID? Like, are we at a better number now? 19.

Grace: No, I think, yeah, they're all still my friends. It's just because we're in different states and different situations, like they're going to work or going to uni. Able to go out on a Saturday night, go to coffee, blah, blah, blah, where I'm kind of stuck here, not able to do any of that. So yeah, haven't been doing too well, but you know, I mean, it's the situation and just gotta allow yourself to feel it, I guess, and get through it. And I mean, you know, speaking to the doctor and speaking to the psych and things like that is helping. And yeah, I guess just gotta try and remain as positive as possible that things will—

Josh: Well, I mean, there's just the reality that it's a bit fucked at the moment. That's it, yeah. Yeah, anything other than this at this point is gonna be on the way back up, please.

Grace: I know, I was speaking to mum yesterday and I was just like, it's just the situation and I can't do anything about it at the moment. I mean, she wants me to come home, but that's probably not gonna happen. But yeah, just realising that the situation and lockdown is so horrible. It's just, it's the worst.

Josh: So, yeah. I was just gonna say, it doesn't make it easier when it's like Amy with friends in Sydney. Mate, look at this. If there's ever a moment to consider Sydney, it's now. It's like everyone's doing the promo job on their state that's not locked down. It's like, we get it.

Grace: Yes.

Josh: You know, so I could imagine the feeling of having a comparison. For me, my comparison is, this is Melbourne, this is where I've lived.

Grace: And like George was saying, like he wants to get back to Byron for Christmas to see his family. Like my brother's getting married in January next year and that's my biggest concern. Like what if I can't get back to, you know, be there for Eddie's wedding? It's just, it's like that thought makes me so upset.

Josh: So you got that. You would figure we would, I mean, you're quite petite. I reckon we could, you know, use Sendle and get you home. Ozpost little bag.

Tommy: That's bad petite on the show, by the way. It's just real sleazy when you say it.

Josh: What's wrong with petite?

Tommy: I don't know. You know, you're a potato. Do you think, JB, potato? What do you think?

Josh: Yeah, sorry. Yeah, yeah, I will say I, I used it in the wrong context. No, I know, attractively small and dainty. I mean, I stand by it. I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna ignore the fact that, you know, but I shouldn't have.

Tommy: Here we go, here we go. No, I get it, TJ.

Josh: Uh, what could I, um Is if I called you little tiny, is that offensive?

Tommy: Well, yeah.

Grace: Yeah, I don't know. It's like, I was saying this to Mason the other day, like when someone calls me cute, like I get it, but it always feels like because I am smaller than average, it's a little, like I'm like, oh, like are you speaking down to me?

Josh: I know they're not, but it's in there. Petite is actually just like the same as saying cute, but you're giving like a, You're giving that, you're saying you're a bit good looking as well as small. Yeah. It's like, it's actually worse.

Grace: It sounds a bit fancy. No, no, that's okay. Like I understand. It's just my brain. That's what it goes to.

Tommy: Is it French?

Grace: No, probably. It sounds French. Like petite fours.

Tommy: Yeah.

Grace: Like the little cakes.

George: Yeah.

Josh: All right. We worked out where French kissing was from the other day.

Tommy: So where does potato come from?

Josh: Borrowed from French petite, feminine of petit, small and little. So p-e-t-i-t is feminine, feminine of petit, French petite. A lot of tin talk, a lot of tin talk.

Tommy: And so anyway, uh, you're, you're in Melbourne Well, the thing is, like, it's hard. It's— George, please.

George: I've got a lot of empathy and grace because it's like, you're not just in lockdown in Melbourne like we are.

Tommy: You're with mates.

George: We're working.

Grace: How are you going?

Josh: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

George: But we've got, you know, we're settled and we've got like work and that sort of thing. But you've actually moved over here to start something new and like, do all this stuff and then you've just been locked into a room. So that's rough.

Grace: Yeah, and I think that's the thing, like, that's like when mom was saying, come home and like figure things out back home. It's like, well, I moved over here to, yes, to get things sorted and to kind of start the next chapter of life and make this my new home. And so I kind of just have to ride it out and take the good with the bad.

Josh: I mean, there's a point where we have to blame this on Dan Andrews, isn't there? I feel like now's your time to start.

Grace: Yeah, it's hard kind of seeing people working and I'm going, okay, twiddling my thumbs, like, what do I do now? You know, how many— how much Netflix can I watch? Or, you know, things like that. So, but you know, it'll be over soon and hopefully I can remain sane until then.

Josh: I feel like I've got— I was just going to give a recommendation to Grace. If you're getting sad of Netflix, you know, annoyed at Netflix, uh, you got Prime, Amazon Prime?

Grace: No, I don't.

Josh: Jack Ryan on Amazon Prime.

Tommy: Well, I need to have it.

Grace: Is that with, um, the guy from The Office?

Josh: Yes, yes.

Grace: What's his name?

Josh: I can't remember his name. But it's awesome. Jack Ryan, I feel like it's something that vibe you'd be into. He's like a CIA operative.

George: Why does that scream Grace?

Josh: Oh, because the movie that they're going to see at IMAX, you know, whatever that be, it's like, it's a, that's an action film. And I feel like if you're going to be willing to go see that at IMAX.

Grace: Yeah, so I think you called it out last week, Josh, of was this— is this Mason's kind of, let's go and we'll say it'll be exciting? Yeah, he did. He started it. But I do like Christopher Nolan films.

Josh: Yeah.

Grace: But whether we see it in whatever the quality is doesn't bother me. Like, I don't understand.

Tommy: Yeah, sure.

Grace: Yeah, I didn't think that you would have brought—

Tommy: yeah, you wouldn't have brought up the specific film.

Grace: And even like when we watch movies, like, is it in 4K? And I'm like, don't know what that means. I can't tell the difference.

Tommy: You don't have your glasses on, you don't know.

George: Recommendation though for you, Grace, on Amazon as well. So, you're going to need to get Amazon.

Josh: Yeah, this is—

Tommy: Get it.

Grace: Send Rex through.

George: Fenty Rihanna's fashion show. Josh, you would love this.

Grace: I was—

Tommy: I did see this.

George: Tell me more about it.

Grace: Last week. Was it last week?

George: Yeah, potentially. Fenty is Rihanna's brand and she does this big fashion show. And it's like all filmed beautifully, like kind of long shots in a big warehouse, and they got like sick dancers. Like, the dancing is amazing.

Josh: To her music as well?

George: Nah, different, different songs.

Josh: Rihanna bangers?

George: No, I don't think there's any Rihanna bangers, but the choreography is just ridiculous.

Tommy: What do you like about it as well?

George: The dancing. The dancing is so good. Like, you would love it, Josh. And it's very inclusive. Lots of diverse women there.

Tommy: Oh, good.

George: And it's just great. It's just very impressive.

Tommy: That's good. I was watching a TV show. I forgot what it's called, but it's a show where there's a guy and a girl and they go to houses that are Airbnb. Houses and they fix them. Have you seen this? So they go and say, are you doing all of this wrong? You need to like, we need to create something that's Instagrammable. And they, um, it's on, uh, it's on Netflix. And I'd been watching it. It was one of those, uh, series where, um, I just went along with, okay, I'll just like watch it. And I cracked, uh, last night where I just said to Ray, I'm like This is— it's actually really boring. I just like went to do some work, but it was— she said that it hurt because I'd pretended for about a whole season and she thought it was that she'd finally found a show that I loved. But I don't have any empathy for someone who can afford some sort of second holiday home that they're Airbnb-ing and they have like tradies come in and fix it up. Like, it's like, this is outrageous. Like, yeah, I'm only getting $300 a night, and it's like, um, it's only booked out 10 nights a month. Like, oh, we need to fix that. It's like, oh, thank you for making me richer.

Josh: I think that there's probably a bunch of that feedback. There's a show called, um, Get Organized, I think it's called, uh, yeah, The Home Edit by The Home Edit, which is an Instagram account where they started— they organise shit and you in your house. But like they do celebrities, but they also do gronks. And I think a lot of the consensus is the celebrity stuff is actually pretty boring. You want to get the— because it's so unrelatable that you've got 6 walk-in cupboards, you know. And like the Justin Bieber t-shirts.

Grace: Reese Witherspoon, they organise her like memorabilia. And you're like, why can't I use any of this? Relatable.

Josh: Like what memorabilia do I have?

Grace: Which is at the Daily Talk Show.

Tommy: Oh, that's great, yeah. We could get, do you want a trophy? We can get you, George does trophies for people. Do you want a trophy?

Josh: He's the trophy guy of the show.

Tommy: Give me a trophy.

George: They're not cheap, but yeah, I can do that. Yeah, no, it's like Justin Bieber's song Holy, which is Mason's favourite song.

Josh: Holy, holy, holy, holy, holy.

George: The film clip? I don't know about it.

Grace: Oh, I liked it.

Tommy: I also didn't like you yelling at me. I just can't do that where he's just like literally just at a table and the camera just moves around Yummy, yummy. Like, it's really—

Grace: Holly is a great song though.

George: I get the message he's trying to say. Like, it's about COVID shutting down industry. Yeah. Okay. So, he's playing this like oil worker and he's like covered in grit and he's like, and basically the boss comes out and says, guys, sorry, with what's happening in the world, we're gonna have to shut this whole place down. And it's like really sad. All these people are working hard for their money. And I'm just like, Justin, like, you're a billionaire.

Grace: You're not doing that.

Josh: Yeah, I know, I know.

George: And then for the rest of the film clip, yeah, for the rest of the film clip, he's covered in oil and he gets picked up by this driver. He says, where are you guys off to? Like, oh, we don't know, like, we're homeless basically. Jump in the car, I'll take you to a hot meal. And they get in the car and then the guy drives them to his house and they're sitting at the dinner table eating this meal and Justin's just still in his oily oil outfit and he's got like dirt all over him. He's like, mate, have a shower. It just couldn't, it just wasn't very believable.

Tommy: Is it a good message? Do you say the message is bad?

George: I don't know.

Josh: I think the message is centred around the Christianity stuff. Like it's about this guy who pulls, look how much we go into this. The guy who pulls over is like someone in the military and he's got a lot of love for people doing it tough and the community and like, He's, that song is a Christian song. He's basically moving into Christian music. And so it's about that community vibe, the love, giving back.

Tommy: But he's got 600 million bucks.

George: Yeah, yeah.

Tommy: Grace, what's the biggest thing you've learned about yourself in the last 6 months?

Grace: This is a hard one. I feel like I haven't learned anything.

Tommy: I think, yeah, you had like, you've had heaps of growth, don't you think?

Grace: I don't know if you'd call it growth, maybe just like realisations of things that maybe being in Perth and being so comfortable I wasn't aware of. Um, and like it's mainly centred around like mental health and things like that, that I really need to actually take it. Like I was seeing a psych and stuff back in Perth because life was pretty chill and easy and I had my friends and stuff there that I probably wasn't taking it as seriously as I should have. And so being here and like being in lockdown, it's like, oh, I've gotta constantly work at my mental health.

Tommy: What does working it mean?

Grace: I think, well, for a long time it was kind of, I thought you just go to a psych and do what they say and then you get better. But I think for me, and I thought that, and some people, that might be the way for some people. But for me, I think, const— like with the constant changes and especially whilst I'm experiencing a lot of change at the moment, I've gotta make sure that, you know, every day I kind of wake up and I have a little routine that I know that I'm gonna achieve for the day. And if I, for whatever reason, I'm feeling down that day, it's kind of going, okay, well, today's not gonna be a good day and that's okay. I think it's like kind of what everyone is saying, just realising that mental health is so important and And COVID and lockdown has really shown that to people. And I was speaking with a friend and we were both, she's a psych student and she was, we're both saying like, we hope that after this mental health is really taken seriously and that, you know, the conversation is continued after this, not just while we're in lockdown. So I think it's just around mental health.

Josh: Having the time to sit with your thoughts and then it's like some people who, get into meditation or mindfulness, actually it outlines the challenge of your mental health once you start observing it. And so that's like COVID's forced people into their homes to then twiddle their thumbs, which is like, it can turn you inwards a bit when you start doing that because you're like, holy shit, what the fuck is up with me?

Grace: Yeah. And you go, why am I having all these thoughts? And that's for me, like having having so much time to myself to think isn't a good thing for me.

Tommy: And so I—

Grace: You need Amazon Prime. Apparently.

Josh: So that's the problem.

Tommy: Jackpot.

Grace: Jackpot. And I'll be fixed.

Tommy: Mate, it's easy. It's pretty, like they should do that. They should do the mental health plan Prime.

Josh: The Amazon Prime subscription.

Grace: Stand and binge. Stand, yeah, yeah.

Tommy: Are you on Binge as well? Like, cause you were saving Binge.

Grace: No, I didn't get Binge.

Tommy: You never got it?

Grace: I never got it.

Tommy: There was so much hype around Binge for you.

Grace: I know there was. I think.

Josh: Was it all the influencers doing their ads?

Grace: Probably, yeah, I was influenced. I don't know, actually, I was gonna get it and then I think I came over here and Mason's quite strict with money. So he's like, oh, you don't need it. So I was like, okay, I get it then.

Tommy: Actually, well, so Binge's own by Foxtel, I think, isn't it? But it just reminds me, I was speaking to my brother Jake yesterday and he was saying, "Oh, you'd have loved the call. Dad called up Foxtel to cancel." And he's got this real thing about speaking to someone in Australia and he wasn't getting it. And so, anyway, he ended up hanging up and he was trying to find a number, like a Sydney number to call. And Jake said that my dad said, they don't know who they're messing with here, which I just, I like the idea that Richard Jansen is going to scare Foxtel in some form of way.

Josh: Quickly, Richard, get into your email. Oh mate, forgot my password.

Grace: One password.

Tommy: Foxtel, no, but just quickly on the Foxtel thing, I'm trying to work out a way to watch all of the news, like your CNNs and stuff. Does anyone have a good solution where it's not going to cost me that much, but I can have it just on and absorb all that sort of terrible thing?

Grace: You just want it in the background?

Tommy: Yeah, I just wanted to, you know, just sort of sit in my brain. No, I just like, there is something sort of, um, when I, when Bri and I would travel, anytime we were at a hotel, I would put on like the CNN International or whatever and just like whatever was happening there.

George: Can you get a very good like Oh, what was that, JB? Can you get a VPN or something? Is it like free?

Tommy: Like, there's nothing that simple. Like, I was thinking maybe there's a small like plan, like something with Fetch or something. Like, what do you think a reasonable amount to pay is a month to be able to have one? Okay, because all I'm finding, I think like $25 or something, but that seems too much.

Grace: Is it worth it?

Tommy: Yeah, it just— you just feel like, um, I mean, you're watching—

Grace: You're overseas.

Tommy: Yeah, it's like got that like holiday, like I used to, like my favourite thing to do was to go on holidays and then be in the hotel room in the air con with CNN on, looking up other holidays to go on. Where it's like, come on, we're in Dubai, like let's just go out. And like, it was like, no, I reckon let's go on Nomad List and find where the next place is going to be. On Nomad List, you know, where do you want to— Service is saying that you guys have been looking at Nomad List, which is like a site which tells you the best places in the world to live.

Grace: Yeah.

Tommy: Where are you gonna move to?

Grace: Well, I still wanna move to London. That's still on the cards. So, we said we'd move to London, but then we'd also do somewhere in Europe. So, maybe like Spain. Or like Italy on the Mediterranean somewhere. Oh yes. Which is, I don't, 'cause Mason gets sunburnt very easily. So he's gonna be covered up the whole time. And also I don't think he likes sand or doesn't like swimming in the ocean or something like that. So I'm like, well, why would we move it to the beach? But anyway.

Josh: And so you're okay about the beach?

Tommy: Are you okay with having a boyfriend that doesn't like the beach?

Grace: He'll learn to love it.

Tommy: Okay.

Grace: When he comes to Perth.

Tommy: Yeah, he'll have his new white t-shirt on.

George: We'll do what he says. He's told.

Tommy: I get it.

Grace: But I told him when we go to Perth, we'll go to the beach, we'll go for a swim every morning, then go grab breakfast or a coffee.

Tommy: Oh, that'll be nice for him.

Grace: Yeah, good.

Tommy: And one of his biggest mentors, Tall Gronkh, like, he's, uh, he's always saying, you'll never regret a swim.

Grace: Exactly.

Josh: It's so true. Until you get bitten by a shark, then you fucking—

Tommy: or like, to be honest, I would be the kind of guy to, um, get stung by like a jellyfish. Yeah. I could imagine just getting a fucking bit of vinegar, just like, just feeling like a piece of meat as they're sort of fucking like grabbing me and just grabbing my tits and just fucking putting vinegar on my tits. There's something very funny about saying guys, like referring to my chest as tits. Tits, yeah.

George: Definitely.

Tommy: Is it funny?

Grace: If you wanna refer to it.

Tommy: Is it funny though?

Grace: I don't think so. If you want to refer to them as that, then—

George: No, I won't. We call, we call, um, chicken breast chicken tits.

Tommy: Chicken tits, that's good. Oh, cute, cute.

George: Just because you, um, I mean, it's that, and also if you eat too much KFC, you get tits.

Tommy: Is that true?

George: From the, um, hormones?

Tommy: Is this a brand integration? Because it's a terrible one.

Grace: You see how someone released the Sorry, um, there's secret herbs and spices. There's only 10 of them.

Tommy: That was a meme.

Grace: Was it?

Tommy: Yeah, it was literally someone saying, just got fired from KFC, here are the 11 herbs and spices.

George: That was a joke.

Grace: I believed it.

Tommy: No, that was literally a tweet.

George: It was like, oh my God, that'd be awesome.

Tommy: Oregano. That is dumb. It's very silly.

Josh: Anyway, garlic salt.

Tommy: Yeah, I'm sure it was on there.

Grace: I fell for it.

Tommy: I mean, that's outrageous. You need to spend like, you spend, how much screen time have you got going at the moment?

Grace: It's down than what it used to be because I've deleted all my social media apps from my screen and turned off notifications.

Tommy: I love the way that you say things like you said deleted off your screen, all that, like you've just taken it from your home screen.

Grace: Yeah, it's still installed, but I've deleted it off my home screen. So it's not just like a—

George: You've moved it.

Grace: Open and then click on it. And I've got like the time limit on Instagram. What's your time limit at?

Tommy: 6 hours a day.

Grace: No, it's actually half an hour.

Tommy: Half an hour, really? How often are you having to push through?

Grace: So many times. So there's probably no point in it, but it makes me feel like I'm doing something. And I was trying to leave my phone like by the bed if I got up during the day, so it's not on my desk or it's not next to me, or trying to keep it on the desk as opposed to near the bed to keep it away from you. Yeah.

George: That's good.

Grace: So yeah.

Josh: Wild ride. Wild ride.

Tommy: Isn't it crazy? I'm just reflecting.

Grace: Well, in 2020.

Tommy: Yeah, isn't it outrageous?

Grace: Yeah, it is outrageous.

Josh: It was outrageous, that bloody doughnut storey on the pier.

Tommy: Yeah, I wasn't—

George: yeah, I was thinking—

Tommy: oh no.

Grace: Oh God.

Josh: No, it's been good being here, guys.

Tommy: Actually, if you keep up this, this, this, I'll, uh, I'll write you into an episode of Screenplay Sunday as a seagull. But I'll just bring you in, I'll bring you in on the phone just to make sure that you can't troll me before.

Josh: Can I, can I, please?

Tommy: Quick, quick, quick, quick.

Josh: 'Can I at least shit on someone's head?' Mate, needed to go. Time's money. Fucking money's time.

Tommy: Oh, that's great. How do you feel about being on the phone? Like, I just call you up when your bit's 10 seconds off and then you answer it, say your line.

Josh: At least can you say, 'I shat on somebody and I'm flying off and I know that, but I'm calling him.' Oh, okay.

Tommy: That makes sense.

Josh: Makes sense. Yeah.

Tommy: So yeah.

George: Yeah.

Tommy: Could you maybe— would you play someone from Foxtel? Yeah. Over the phone.

Josh: Any character that you don't want to ever do.

Tommy: That'd be good. Yeah, yeah.

Josh: Okay, now bring the bird back in every couple of episodes, please.

Tommy: Yeah, we could do that. Uh, Grace, thank you for coming on the podcast.

Grace: Thanks for having me, guys.

Tommy: Uh, it's the Daily Talk Show. You can listen to Grace. She joins GB on Hump Day Replay. I always— she does enjoy that. I love that we actually need to give you some sort of producer, uh, responsibilities. No, it's great. No, it's great. I love GB saying like, here with the Producers. I'm like, yeah, it really beefs out.

Grace: You said that as well as screenfly.

Tommy: I was like, it's just like when people say, yeah, I got a staff, you know. It's like, do you really, mate?

George: Well, imagine if I— yeah, imagine if I did the intro and said, uh, yeah, uh, Jess and Mason are here, they produce the daily talk show. Grace is not a producer, she's just Mason's girlfriend. And Radio Mike doesn't— there's no same reason.

Grace: It's too long. Too long.

Tommy: Maybe it could be the entertainment. I mean, if you were to be a producer on a specific sort of area, what area would you like to produce?

Grace: I could do entertainment, sport. I like sport.

Tommy: That would be good. Do you wanna be in charge, the producer of sport equipment? So like you can sort of help manage the sporting equipment. I think that would be great.

George: And when we do our weekly PE, you can produce that.

Grace: Yeah, I could do that. I reckon I would be a good PE teacher. I've always said that.

Tommy: Before he said that.

Grace: Why? I get it. I don't know, just like, I reckon that'd be a fun subject to teach.

George: To be honest, I did it as well. Yeah. I used to like tell people I was gonna be a PE teacher.

Tommy: She'd be the PE teacher that's just a weird, like, not weird in a bad way, but weird in just like a, oh man, he's quite artsy, but he just like, he's, you're the one, if I was, if there was the beep test, I'd be going to G being like, mate, I fucking, I've hurt something. I've hurt something under my tits. I can't do anything today. And you'd be like, fine. You'd be fine. But I think Grace would be on to me. Grace, you'd be saying, no, you don't use your tits to run. Get out there.

George: There we go. I can't believe they made you do the beep test at school, by the way. That's a bit rich, isn't it?

Tommy: What do you mean?

Josh: What are you talking about?

Tommy: What'd you go to? Go to some sort of fucking— I'd have to do it as well, but like, okay.

George: I don't know, it's just a bit like rude. It's just a bit mean. Yeah, it's just like, see how fit— let's compare everyone's fitness, go on.

Grace: We used to have fitness tests and that would be like part of your grade.

Josh: George, you're also the guy that doesn't want anyone coming second, third, or fourth. It's all—

Tommy: you're all winners.

Josh: I'm a competitive guy.

Tommy: I mean, there was stretching. I think the only one that I could have ever won was the stretch, you know, they'll do the flexibility. But even then it was just like, I was like, how hard can it be? It's just stretching over. But there is something to it. Yeah. The— I mean, I told you about the weight tree in primary school. Oh, yes. We had a— Everyone had to stand on the scales and then we all got like a piece of paper, which was a leaf, and would write our names and the weight and they'd put it up on the tree depending on. And so, Dennis Stevcik and I, we were— Dennis and I. Dennis is actually like a bodybuilder now. He went the other way. But we were the heaviest. And I was, it must have been grade 2, whatever age it was, I was 31 kilos. Dennis and I were the only people over 30 kg. I was 31, he was 33. So, I'm on the track. Isn't it crazy? How old would I be? Like what, how old are you?

Grace: Like 7, 6 or 7?

Tommy: Does that match up from a weight perspective? So we were the only ones over 30 kg. How old would we have been?

Josh: Yeah, fuck, I don't know. I mean, 30 kg is about my right leg.

George: How old's Bodhi?

Josh: How heavy?

Tommy: He's—

Josh: yeah, my boss Bodhi's 2. So he's 3 years old, nearly 4, and he would only weigh 19 to 17 kilos in that range. Yeah, it's weird because they, they bulk out and then they start sort of shredding, staying a similar weight, but they're getting bigger, but it's just they're shrinking. Their body fat's dropping, especially when I've got him on that Russian routine, you know.

Tommy: The pre-workout helps as well. All right, it's a Daily Talk Show. Thank you, Grace. Thank you, GB. Enjoy your 6-month thing. Maybe do some Insta stories.

Grace: Yeah, fuck it, that's true.

Tommy: Maybe you can look after social media. Actually, we never spoke about how Well, the house. Remember when you were at the house and you had to do this, the social media?

Grace: Oh yeah.

Tommy: Anyway, uh, bye everyone. Enjoy your day.

Josh: See you guys.
