From this episode’s transcript.

  • –Jess Lucas lost her clean @JessLucas Instagram handle years ago to a Canadian actress/singer of the same name, and now uses a less ideal username.
  • –Josh Janssen's Twitter handle became "Joshua Jansen" after he deleted his account around 2010-2011 and had to beg Twitter support to get "Josh Janssen" back.
  • –Growing up in an all-boy household (Josh, Jake, James) involved physical brawls, roof-jumping onto mattresses, and a clothesline incident, while an all-girl household (Jess and sisters) had its own "Kim Kardashian"-style fights.
  • –A family trivia call revealed brother Jake Janssen is confident but inaccurate at trivia, while mum Lynn Janssen correctly answered questions about Georgia's peaches on her way to a job interview.
  • –Jake Janssen admitted to using his boss's flooring equipment without permission for a side job on a V8 Supercars team's warehouse, which got filmed for broadcast.

Questions this episode answers

What happened to Jess Lucas's original Instagram handle?

She briefly let go of the clean @JessLucas handle while trying to do a university social media project, and in that window a 19-year-old Canadian actress/singer named Jess Lucas (known for Melrose Place, Gotham, Cloverfield and a Coldplay music video) ended up with it; Jess now uses a less ideal variant with underscores.

Why was Josh Janssen known as "Joshua Jansen" on Twitter for a while?

Around 2010-2011 Josh deleted his social media accounts, and when he tried to reclaim the Josh Janssen Twitter handle it had already been taken, forcing him to use Joshua Jansen until Twitter support eventually released the original handle back to him.

How did the Janssen family trivia calls go in this episode?

Brother Jake Janssen got most of the automobile, science and geography trivia questions wrong despite sounding confident, while mum Lynn Janssen correctly answered a geography question about Georgia being known for peaches shortly before heading into a job interview.

George: The Daily Talk Show.

0:04

Josh: It's The Daily Talk Show, episode 906.

0:07

Tommy: Happy weekend, banter, gronks. What's happening? What's going on?

0:11

Josh: Jessica Lucas, Mr. 97, welcome back to the show.

0:16

Mason: Whip, you didn't leave with Whip.

0:19

Josh: Ah, look, I can't, it's funny.

0:20

Mason: Are we getting rid of that?

0:21

Josh: Nah, I mean, just nickname-wise, I, I, it doesn't connect. It's, it reminds me a little bit of when we tried to make George's nickname Dodge. It just— we tried really hard.

0:34

Jess: Well, no, it's 97.

0:36

Josh: Uh, 97 just came about because of his interscore, obviously. But when we actually did put up a Reddit post, yes, it was either going to be Mayo or Mr. 97 because that was his nickname in school.

0:50

Tommy: It's, uh, what was it?

0:53

Mason: Mayo23 was my Minecraft.

0:54

Josh: You don't want to know why.

0:56

Mason: No, no.

0:57

Tommy: The thing is, nicknames will either stick or they won't. I don't call you 97 much, I call you Sevs more now. And then, and so it's evolved. And so I don't know what it'll be next week.

1:09

Josh: It's been Sevs for a very long time.

1:13

Tommy: Exactly, I think Sevs is stuck.

1:15

Josh: And so it would just, I think over time, Jess, it will happen. Yeah. But we'll, I mean, you were the person who was signing off Jessica for the first part of your time with us. Were you?

1:29

Jess: Absolutely no way that happened, Josh. You've fully made that up. I never call myself Jessica.

1:34

Josh: You definitely call yourself Jessica.

1:35

Jess: You watch my emails and I—

1:36

Josh: Oh, you definitely— I'll do it right now.

1:39

Tommy: I don't reckon so, Josh. I reckon our conversation that we had was when we were setting up your big media company email. I asked you, would you like Jess or Jessica? Because in your email to me, it said Jessica as the user, like your personal pro— like the non-work-related email is Jessica. And so yeah, it's a struggle.

2:02

Jess: Lucas is potentially one of the world's most common names in the entire world.

2:07

Tommy: Okay, so I feel—

2:09

Josh: is it, is it right to say that your old signature at your last company was Jessica, or no?

2:18

George: Jessica.

2:19

Josh: I'm sure you definitely have used Jessica a lot because it was a big— it was a thing where I was like, ah, I'm pretty sure I said to you in the early days, I said, let's go with Jess. I think it's more sort of casual and on brand.

2:34

Jess: No one calls me Jessica. The only reason I get called Jessica is when it's formal and someone doesn't realise it's just Jess. And when I'm in trouble from mum and dad.

2:45

Tommy: They call you Joshua?

2:46

Jess: But you, in the past, you know.

2:47

Josh: I thought it was like a Daniel thing, you know, like Daniels that, um, that won't— don't like being called Dan. That's good.

2:56

Jess: Like Josh, like your name's Joshua.

2:58

Josh: Yes.

2:59

George: Is it?

2:59

Josh: Yes.

2:59

Mason: Joshua. Joshua.

3:02

Tommy: Can we start all calling him Joshua?

3:05

Josh: Well, I actually got the, um—

3:06

Tommy: I'll go back to Thomas. I'll go back to Thomas Joshua, and it's a It's a right, it's a conservative's podcast. Joshua and Thomas.

3:15

Josh: There is something fun about when Tommy's, when he's ever on a crew, when we're working together, he's always called Tom, which just feels like quite low status. Tommy, you ready?

3:28

Tommy: Some assholes.

3:29

Jess: Wait, who calls you Tom?

3:30

Tommy: No, it's just people who literally go for Tommy and they just write Tom. It's like, yeah, they panicked.

3:37

Josh: But I was Joshua Janson for a while on the internet because in about 2010, 2011, I decided I'm getting rid of all social media and got rid of it all. And then one of the usernames I couldn't get back was Twitter because I deleted it without converting it to another account. Uh, when I tried to get Josh Jansen, it was taken. And so I had to get Joshua Jansen. And no joke, I was tweeting to Twitter support apologizing, saying, hey guys, I made a mistake, I'm back, I won't do it again. Can you just give me Josh Janson on Twitter? And so I ended up getting it back. They released it, which was nice.

4:18

Tommy: That way. Oh, so someone just claimed it.

4:20

Josh: No, no one claimed it. It goes into this pool. So, you know, you close it down and it might be, you know, 3 or 6 months or whatever it was.

4:28

Tommy: It's 40 years.

4:29

Jess: Actually, straight away when I redid my name.

4:33

Josh: What do you mean?

4:33

Jess: Was I talking about this on Hump Day Replay, Mase?

4:36

Mason: Yeah, so this was your Instagram account?

4:38

Jess: Yeah, my Instagram. Yeah.

4:41

Josh: What happened?

4:42

Jess: Well, I had a really— I had just Jess Lucas and it was—

4:46

Tommy: couldn't have been better.

4:46

Josh: Just? J-U-S-T?

4:48

George: No.

4:48

Josh: J-E-S or just Jess Lucas?

4:51

Mason: Let's just Lucas. Okay.

4:52

Jess: @JessLucas.

4:53

Tommy: I don't mind just Jess Lucas.

4:54

Jess: No underscores.

4:55

Josh: Yeah.

4:56

Jess: It was just the most crisp, clean Instagram handle. And now I've got Jessica Lucas underscore underscore because that's the only one I could find.

5:04

George: What happened?

5:04

Josh: What happened to your Instagram?

5:06

Jess: Well, what happened was I thought I was gonna do a really cute, thorough job of a social media strategy at university. And so what I wanted to do was put this brand and make it look like it was on Instagram. And so I was just gonna screenshot it because at that stage I didn't know how to Photoshop.

5:26

Josh: Oh no.

5:26

Jess: And I didn't know about like vectors and stuff that you can like chuck things in now, whatever. And yeah, as soon as I did it, I went to change it back. I was like, no one will grab Jess Lucas in 15 minutes while I do this.

5:37

Josh: And someone did.

5:39

Jess: It's gone.

5:40

Josh: Wait, so if you go there, is it actually— let's have a look.

5:43

Mason: It is. There is someone on there.

5:45

Josh: Oh, that's so painful.

5:46

Tommy: Does she look nice at least? Like, is she— seems like a nice person.

5:49

Jess: I haven't looked in a while because it still— it actually hurts my soul thinking about it.

5:53

Tommy: She's just a young girl trying to make it in the world, you know. Just out with their friends and gals, having a wine, partying. She does seem— she seems like she deserves it. Like, she's a young spirit, and you fucked up as an old person.

6:07

Josh: She's 19 years old. She's written 19.

6:09

Jess: I was young at the time.

6:10

Mason: She's from Melbourne as well.

6:12

Josh: But if it makes you feel any better, her Snapchat is @jess_lucas01.

6:19

Jess: You wanna know a storey about my Snapchat?

6:22

Josh: I don't know, do we?

6:23

Mason: Here we go.

6:24

Josh: Yeah, who's it involve?

6:27

Jess: Jess Lucas. Um, so I actually used to be Snapchat famous. I used to have all these people following me, and I probably still have them in my friends cage because they thought that I was the legitimate Jess Lucas because I changed the profile picture to be that famous actor.

6:41

Josh: Who is this?

6:42

Mason: Who's legitimate?

6:43

Tommy: I'll give you a— Jess Lucas, born September 24, 1985, is a Canadian actress and singer. She's known for her roles in television, uh, such as Edgemont, Melrose Place, Cult, and Gotham, and in the films The Covenant, Cloverfield, and the 2013 Evil Devil— Evil Dead. Yeah, so she's just—

7:05

Mason: she also starred in Coldplay's 2014 single True Love.

7:09

Tommy: As a singer or like a—

7:11

Josh: or in the music video?

7:13

Mason: I think in the music video.

7:15

Tommy: She— her Instagram is @iamjesslucas and she's got 246,000 followers.

7:21

Josh: Well, Mr. 97, you spelt 97 wrong on your first Instagram account.

7:27

Mason: Yeah, I forgot the A on 90, so that was annoying. Ninety-seven. And then TJ pointed that out, but I have— I've also got the Instagram @masonlorder, but I've forgotten the password and the email. Well, actually, I know the password. I don't know the email for it. So, I sign in using the username and they want to send a verification, but I don't know what the email is. So, slightly annoying.

7:54

Tommy: Would you— can we get in touch with Jess Lucas and just chat to her? The 19-year-old from Melbourne. That would be fun. Just to like, can you just air your— not that you want it back. I don't think you can ask for it back. But you just tell her. And I would love to know, did she think, oh my God, I've got my handle now? Like, was she checking every day?

8:17

Josh: Yeah, maybe so.

8:20

Mason: How long ago was this? How long ago did you—

8:23

George: it would have—

8:23

Jess: it would have been like 2013 or 2000.

8:26

Tommy: Oh, she was like 12.

8:28

George: She was 12.

8:29

Josh: Yeah, I don't think she's gonna remember.

8:32

Tommy: No, she's a big, big timer.

8:34

Josh: Big time.

8:35

Tommy: I mean, your mum just got her a phone, you know, it all just happened. Got a prepaid SIM.

8:40

Josh: I'm guessing what actually happened was it would have gone into one of those pools where you couldn't do it for a while. So, when you like got rid of it and then— But it's strange that if you got rid of it, you should have been able to get it again. It's only if you delete it.

8:56

Tommy: Well, Intern Pete, remember him telling us that story, Jojo?

9:00

Josh: No, I don't.

9:01

Tommy: He did a version of this. I just want to tell you what his intern Pete— Jess is a producer on the Kyle and Jackie O Show up in Sydney. But I think he had intern Pete and then he changed it to Peter Depler and then it got taken. The other one got taken. So it's that similar vein, just, you know, done. Very annoying.

9:26

Jess: So what you should do is just start a new account. Yes, that's what I should have done. What an idiot.

9:31

Josh: Yeah, that's okay. No, you're not an idiot. Uh, so I remember when Facebook opened up vanity URLs. So at the start you couldn't get facebook.com/your name, it just wasn't a thing. And, um, Josh was already taken, and so I woke up, but I knew that, um, Brianna was available. And so I woke up at, I think it was like 4 in the morning, and got Bri— facebook.com/breanna. B-R-E-A-N-A.

10:00

Mason: Still there.

10:01

Josh: Yeah, yep. Facebook.com/breanna.

10:05

Mason: Yeah, that's great.

10:07

Tommy: Um, and that's for a person.

10:09

Josh: Yep. No, it's for our OnlyFans.

10:11

Tommy: Yeah, you could actually get that over— oh no, no, it's not the same. I, uh, I know, get it over to a likes page, but probably the likes page version. Maybe.

10:22

Josh: No, you can, you can. So, I did, I remember doing that when I thought I was going to become a YouTube star and I put, had a public. What year was this? This was only, this was 2 months before we started the show because we quickly pivoted. But no, I think I changed my personal one to the Josh Janson and then Facebook, the page to Josh Janson. But to be honest, Facebook, I used to wonder when I was younger, I was like, how do people not see things on Facebook? You know, you'd hear someone say, oh, sorry, man. So it's taken me 6 weeks to get back to you on Facebook. I just don't cheque my messages. I always thought that was bullshit, but I can say I checked my Facebook accidentally. I think I just went to Facebook. I was like, oh, I've got some notifications. 190 notifications I had from Facebook.

11:18

Tommy: It's just desperate.

11:19

Josh: Just no interest in Facebook.

11:24

Jess: Yeah, it is a shame.

11:25

Mason: Get rid of it.

11:26

Tommy: Well, yeah, I mean, at that point, should you get rid of it? No, it's good to have. I tagged you in it yesterday.

11:31

Josh: What's everyone's screen times at the moment?

11:33

Tommy: Oh, good question, good question. Um, who's gonna— who's gonna take out the prize for the most?

11:41

Mason: I reckon Josh.

11:42

Tommy: Oh, hang on, no, no, it could be anyone's.

11:44

Mason: Do you need to factor in your, um, because you're on your iPad and watching CNN? So is that, is that a thing?

11:50

Josh: Are you counting your fucking TV?

11:52

Mason: I don't watch TV.

11:53

Josh: You have a TV at home? Yeah. Well, you don't actually ever catch it?

11:58

Mason: Nah, not really.

12:00

Tommy: Yeah, I will come in. Bree uses the iPad too, so you can't— that's not counting. It doesn't work.

12:05

Josh: Oh, so this is, this is good news. Yeah. So what's your daily average, guys, this week?

12:10

Tommy: Yeah, up until today is 3 hours and 51 minutes.

12:13

Josh: Jessica?

12:14

George: God.

12:15

Jess: 5 hours and 20 minutes.

12:17

Josh: Mason?

12:18

Mason: 2 hours and 8 minutes.

12:20

Josh: I'm 4 hours and 11 minutes. What's, from a percentage perspective, where are you guys sitting? Are you down from last week?

12:28

Tommy: 37% down from last week.

12:30

Josh: I'm 35, 32% down. Jessica?

12:35

Jess: I'm just trying to work out where to see that.

12:37

Josh: It's just on the, just the top right.

12:39

Mason: What's your, um, top app?

12:40

Josh: She's already accidentally fallen back into Instagram.

12:43

Tommy: Yeah, um, she's liking—

12:46

Josh: are you liking something?

12:48

Tommy: Instagram's mine, Seb's Instagram.

12:51

Josh: Yeah, yeah, you may have not, uh, got the latest iOS. I feel like—

12:58

Tommy: when was the last time you updated?

12:59

Jess: I've got all the cool widgets.

13:01

Josh: Oh yeah, yeah, did you understand the, um, widget Metaphor that I was making on the show on Thursday. How cool is that?

13:10

George: Oh, that is cool.

13:10

Mason: Why is it a rainbow?

13:11

George: That is great idea.

13:12

Josh: Do you ever get traumatised by, like, I find the throwbacks can be problematic. Just like—

13:18

Jess: Photos?

13:18

Josh: Yeah, just like, you know, different times.

13:22

Tommy: Oh, yes.

13:22

Jess: I like it. It reminds you of all the stuff that you've done.

13:25

Tommy: I actually sent one. I sent one to a friend and I was like, this just— And I needed to give him context because it would have been a bit weird. It was his daughter. And Bodhi. I was like, this just came up in my blah blah blah, how crazy. And he's like, on your what? Like, he didn't know that that was the function. I was like, the new iOS widgets area. And so I had to explain what the hell it was. Lucky I gave it to context, otherwise he just thought I was just flicking over pictures of his daughter, random 2-year-old, 2-year-old photos. Um, Jess, you— I was just thinking last night. You, uh, so the boys— Mason, Josh, myself— we all grew up in a house of 3 boys. Well, you know, one of 3. You grew up in a house of 3 girls. What I did— well, I wanted to know, like, find out the differences between the upbringings and sort of what it all meant. Um, what was the vibe growing up with, you know, a pack, a flock of, flock of girls in the house?

14:31

Jess: Um, we were probably, uh, tomboys, all of us. We used to, we used to ride motorbikes and go for bike rides. And I was telling you that Dad used to take us to the monster trucks. But then there was also the feminine side of things as well, like, um, Barbies. Oh, actually, so you guys, did you guys ever play with Barbies?

14:56

Josh: Only when I was at other people's houses. I didn't own any.

14:59

Jess: Okay, well, there was this Barbie called Working Out Barbie, and I just randomly during this week remembered the song, and it's a really good song. It's like, working out, working out Barbie, yeah.

15:11

Tommy: Oh, working out like an exercise Barbie, not a working it out like a problem solver Barbie.

15:17

Josh: That's right.

15:18

Jess: She's got full life. Old school gym like attire. Yeah, anyway, I sent it to the girls and we were just laughing at how much we used to love that song. We used to play it. So that gives a good context to both boy and girl. I think Dad wanted guys, like let's be honest, he really treated us as though we were dudes most of the time.

15:39

Tommy: Yep, believe and not achieve. You got 3 girls. Was there brawls? Did it like— because it got physical at my house. There was punches thrown. Josh's, you know, famously Nearly came through the wall. Head through the wall. Yeah, a lot of broken windows.

15:53

Josh: Nearly a beheading.

15:55

George: Nearly.

15:55

Tommy: What happened? Was there too much mashups in a, in a girl's, in a house full of girls?

16:01

Jess: Oh, 100%. Like, it's, yeah, we were psychos. In fact, they get in, they make you so angry. I feel like I still could fall into one of those fights.

16:11

Mason: Really?

16:11

George: Something.

16:12

Jess: Yeah, sister fights are outrageous. Like, they're scary. But yeah, I remember someone threw a lamp, won't say who, at my other sister. I reckon I've had some Kim Kardashian fights with them.

16:28

Josh: What is that? What's a Kim Kardashian fight?

16:30

Jess: Have you not seen the clip of her in last season when she was like, they were literally like fighting?

16:36

Josh: Oh no.

16:37

Jess: Slapping and stuff.

16:39

George: Yeah.

16:40

Jess: When they steal your clothes and like you want to wear it that night.

16:43

Mason: You've had enough.

16:44

Jess: Or they've got, yeah.

16:45

Josh: Does it get really nasty? Does it get personal? It's like, "You're the type of person that's like this and you're always going to be like this." Yeah. Oh, great.

16:54

Jess: But isn't that what boys do as well? That's not now, but back then.

16:58

Josh: Yeah, yeah. Definitely. Like my brother James, you know, he was sort of— we were polar opposites. He was the exercise science guy, the, you know, but I was reading stuff. So, I'd read these books and then— come up to him and say stuff. I remember he ripped off my pyjama pocket completely off, revealing my breast.

17:20

Jess: Can you not say breast?

17:24

Josh: My breast.

17:27

Jess: Can you even call it a breast on a male?

17:30

Josh: I can, yeah, I can call it what I want. Um, if like, yeah, when I was a little kid, I definitely— when I was a little kid I definitely had breasts. Like, I had— like, that was, that was a, that was a thing.

17:43

Jess: Yeah.

17:44

Josh: Yeah.

17:45

Tommy: I think breasts is nicer than man tits. Like, it's sort of more, more endearing. Oh, little breasts on the little boy.

17:52

George: He's too bizarre.

17:58

Josh: Um, so, yeah, TJ, what was your worst fight?

18:01

Jess: Do you remember?

18:02

Tommy: Oh, I mean, I guess this is the fight that I lost. My brother had me down and he mounted me and had his knees on my arm so I can't move, and he held my nose. And when you hold someone's nose, they have to breathe through their mouth. And so I— and he spat into my mouth.

18:26

Josh: Oh no. Oh no.

18:29

Mason: Yuck.

18:30

Josh: Do you remember the last— don't you feel like there's an age where you have your last fight? And then you realise that you're too old to have it. Like, it's just men having a fight. Like, I remember Mum being like, I'm calling triple zero. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

18:45

Tommy: It's just, yeah, it's too dangerous. I mean, that's the thing. It's, if it continues, you end up, yeah, you get into physical punch-ons. But I think that probably ended probably like 10 or 11 for me.

18:59

Josh: My dad and I used to have big punch-ons as well. Yeah, yeah.

19:03

Tommy: Roughing up.

19:04

Josh: Yeah, just like, no, but I just remember, I just remember like, uh, running around the house where like the clothes, you know, the clothes horse was always in the way when there was a fight. It's just you fucking get tangled up in it and mum's like, stop it, stop it. So that was always fun.

19:24

Tommy: We would do shit like pull out the mattresses from all the beds in the house and then jump off the roof and onto the mattresses when mum was out. The most dangerous shit. But that's the kind of the risk factor in maybe it is just young kids.

19:39

Jess: But that's also an annoying boy thing. Like, imagine the dirty mattresses from there.

19:47

Josh: I never did that. I think that must be a Tommy Jacket thing. The closest thing I got to it was the talking about beheadings was when there was a The Finish Line. We're doing— well, there was a race where it was like, how quickly can you ride around the court and then come back? And we had sort of this thin orange rope, and we— like, it was the finish line. And I thought it would be funny because I just didn't understand the— what could happen. You know, you watch sort of Benny Hill or whatever it is, you know, funny sort of slapstick comedy. And so I had it on a tree and I held it, and then when Jake came and rode his bike, I held on and clotheslined him and he ended it and he walked in. He had like a big, you know, welt around his neck. So that wasn't, you know, there was many times.

20:39

Jess: Silly, wasn't it, Josh?

20:40

Josh: Yeah, silly. But there was many times that it was a bit like that. There was many times where it'd just be like, you know, you were just trying to, you were showing off, you were trying to be funny and you've nearly killed Jake, you know. It's not good.

20:58

Mason: You are sick.

20:59

Josh: You are, you are sick.

21:02

Tommy: Um, Mason, did you have any brawls?

21:05

Mason: Nah, no, just no real punch-ons. Um, the only, the only one that I remember, um, would have been— we were in New Zealand and I would have been so young, but I, I don't know, I would, I would just go up and hit Sam for some reason and then he would never ever hit back until this one time. And then he started hitting back. And so I ran and hid behind mum's legs so he couldn't hit me.

21:31

Josh: Oh, you sounded like a little cunt. Why were you doing that? I don't know.

21:37

Mason: I don't know. I just remember just maybe just to try to piss him off. And the fact that he would never hit back was the fun thing. And then as soon as he decides to hit back, well then you're just like, absolutely not.

21:47

Josh: There's so many times when like being the youngest, Like for me, I felt there were so many times where I was 100% worried about my life. Like my brother Jake would, he would just, his eyes would change. But I think it was a tactic. It was like, I'm gonna fuck you up. I'm gonna like you catch it.

22:11

Jess: Is he older or younger? I can never remember.

22:13

Josh: So Jake is middle and then James is the oldest and I'm the youngest.

22:16

George: You're the youngest.

22:17

Tommy: Yeah, because we've got each here, we've got a middle, we've got a middle. Mason, you're the middle. Jess, you're the eldest. And Josh and I are the youngest of our—

22:26

Josh: Why, Jess, do I have vibes of the younger child?

22:29

Jess: Smartass.

22:31

Josh: I think you can say smarter. Next.

22:35

Jess: Yeah, my little sister is probably the smartest out of a lot of us. Uh, but a smartass. She's a smartass, like she's the funniest prick.

22:48

Tommy: Is it because you want more respect as an elder? Is that what you feel?

22:51

Jess: I think as an elder, I think Hannah and I are probably the ones that like joke around a little bit more. Emma's the golden child. And I think the eldest generally always has their like, di kind of qualities.

23:05

Josh: And a bit of a chip on the shoulder potentially.

23:09

Jess: Because I'm not the golden child, yes. It remains, it's still there.

23:14

Josh: Yeah, I still like her.

23:15

Tommy: And it was hard for you in the early days 'cause your parents were navigating the landscape of being a parent. And then the youngest comes in, free rein, just junk food.

23:26

Jess: But tell me, what do you think, like next child you have, you could essentially love that more than Bodhi.

23:33

Tommy: Oh, it is a thought. I mean, it's where do you even find that? Love, which is like, it's there, but it just comes out of nowhere. But then you've got—

23:43

Josh: It's a prioritisation thing, I guess. It's like willpower. It's like ego depletion. It's a bucket. I don't think so.

23:49

Tommy: I think it's just like, there's a stream of love we have inside of us.

23:54

Josh: And it's endless.

23:56

Tommy: It's just tapped. Yeah, it's endless.

23:57

Jess: I reckon mine's capped. Emma definitely gets more.

24:00

Mason: Yours is capped.

24:01

Tommy: No, I think that, blame that on your parents.

24:06

Josh: —some sort of summary cap sort of love.

24:11

George: Yeah. Yeah.

24:12

Josh: I mean, it's— I mean, do you feel like— has your relationship just developed with your sisters so that you all actually get along? Or like, do you still find that if it's a family event, there will be a blow-up?

24:30

Jess: Yeah. I mean, us girls, yeah, no, we're pretty good these days. Um, sometimes people get sulky and then you get pissed off at them for being sulky and you're like, come on, just have fun. And then that might blow up.

24:43

Josh: But when does that happen? So, but are you projecting that? So the thing is that sometimes maybe they're not being sulky, but then you're projecting. You say, stop being sulky, which is a thing to cause a blow-up, right?

24:59

Jess: Yeah, but I mean, they're legitimately being sulky. So what would it look like?

25:03

Josh: What does sulky look like?

25:05

Tommy: I'm sulky.

25:06

Jess: I just like, just, you know, like on the couch on their phone, like not just engaging in conversation, um, not engaging in the board games that we play.

25:17

Josh: Um, so is that so? I don't even know if it's so. Blowups.

25:21

Mason: I'm sure you'd have board game blowups. That'd be a thing.

25:24

Josh: Yeah, Jake used to cheat all the time with me. He'd always play the bank, always cheat. I don't think you would need to, like, because he was— he's very good with, like, he is amazing at trivia. Actually, we've done this before. Jake Jansen is amazing at trivia. Uh, Mason, can you get some trivia questions and let's call Jake and get him to, to do some trivia? Because I'm glad we're not doing it as a team again because that was horrendous.

25:54

Mason: Um, Any specific categories or do you just want me?

25:59

Josh: What do you think? What do you think? Maybe some, um, I just searched, uh, some categories.

26:05

Mason: Yeah, I literally scrolled through the different categories. Sports, science, automobiles.

26:12

Tommy: Some of them are very US-focused. Health.

26:15

Josh: Yeah, yeah, great. Okay, I'm just connecting up the phone now. But if he has a blow-up that we've called him, don't you call me on here. No, Jake's— Jake and I actually like, um get along very well. And the same with James, actually, nowadays. But sometimes it can, it can go either way. Well, tomorrow we'll call James about the election.

26:38

Tommy: Who'd you vote?

26:45

George: Let's hope he answers. Hello, Joshie. Oh, g'day, Jake Jansen.

26:52

Josh: You're on the Daily Talk Show. How are you?

26:54

George: I'm very well. My equipment is okay, great.

26:58

Josh: We don't want any sort of industrial accident. Jake does all like, uh, flooring. He does like all the polished concrete and things like that. Uh, I was telling the guys— I've got Jess, Mr. 97, and Tommy here— that you are good at trivia. Would you agree? Not again.

27:15

George: I mean, I like typically, yeah, but I mean, there was that time that I came on the episode, uh, and I wasn't great.

27:23

Josh: Oh, that's right, we've done this before.

27:25

George: Yeah, we have. Look, I'm willing to give it another go. I do need some redemption.

27:28

Josh: Okay, great. Tommy's got some categories. TJ, what are the categories?

27:33

Tommy: Oh no, no, Mason's got them. Oh, Mason's got them. So I mean, so there's—

27:38

Mason: I'm going to bring out sport, science, automobiles, and food and drink trivia questions.

27:46

Josh: There's a guy who doesn't drive. Automobiles? Vehicles?

27:54

George: I think I'm going to go with automobiles.

27:56

Josh: Okay, we'll start with automobiles. Great. Okay, great. All right. Go for it, Sebbs.

28:01

Mason: Okay, who is often credited with creating the world's first car?

28:08

George: Uh, it's Henry Ford.

28:11

George: Uh, well, it's the first— it's tricky because it's the first mass production car with Henry Ford with the Model T—

28:17

George: or Model A, sorry.

28:17

George: No, it's Model T, Model T, 1926. Yeah, extra information for you.

28:23

Mason: A lot, a lot of information. That's I have to give a bonus point, but it's actually Carl Benz who created the first car. You were right. Henry Ford was the first one who brought it to mass production.

28:34

Josh: Okay, great. Well, that was good. I mean, you've— Jake, it's very impressive. It's sort of impressive, but it's not the answer. You've Donald Trumped us.

28:45

George: But I'll vote for you.

28:46

Josh: You've impressed us and we're like, oh, mate, like, I know that it wasn't the answer, but he said something. What's another one, Sebs?

28:53

Mason: Uh, which animal can be seen on the Porsche logo?

28:57

George: Oof, logo.

29:01

Jess: Um, you should get the right—

29:02

Josh: Jake is the type to Google something.

29:06

George: I am— I'm not, uh, the type— just bear with me one second.

29:11

Josh: It's a jaguar, isn't it? Is it a horse? He's definitely Googled it.

29:23

George: How can I Google my own word?

29:27

Tommy: You're doing trivia.

29:28

Josh: He's on his phone.

29:28

Tommy: Yeah, he's definitely on his phone.

29:30

Josh: We'll do another category. Can we— let's do science.

29:37

Mason: Okay, great. Which bone are babies born without?

29:45

George: So the cranial, uh, what's it called? It's their bloody skull. They don't have— they've got that socket on the skull. It's not a formed bone.

29:56

Josh: What's the answer, Sam? The answer's a kneecap. What? But they don't have the bit on the back of the— on the top of the head.

30:04

Tommy: Uh, that is true. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

30:07

George: Because that's why you can't like hit them on the head. I mean, obviously, along with a few other reasons, there's a bit of extra incentive.

30:14

Mason: All right, can we do one more?

30:16

Josh: Because this is like the flex where you say, my brother invented this, and then you find out that it's not true. Wawiwawa, my brother came up with that. What's that? What is it? Wawiwawa. Wawawiwa. It's a Borat reference.

30:36

Mason: Okay, final trivia. Okay, how many taste buds does the average human tongue have?

30:42

Josh: I couldn't tell you, Seb. Have a guess.

30:46

Tommy: Have a guess. Have a crack.

30:46

George: I'm going to say 8 million. It's got to be tens of thousands, surely.

30:53

Mason: Oh, hang on, give me a second.

30:55

Tommy: Uh, 10,000. Oh, I'm gonna give it to him. I heard 10,000.

31:02

Josh: That's really good.

31:04

George: Well, that was fun, Jake.

31:05

Josh: Do I go through to the next round, or can you tell us just an interesting fact that you do know? What's, what's an interesting— what's the interesting fact? Yeah, what—

31:15

George: tell us anything in particular.

31:17

Josh: Um, look, what is the, um, uh, what is the, the, the capital of, uh, Poland? Uh, Kraków. I think it's Warsaw.

31:29

George: It is Warsaw. It's Warsaw. Yeah, no, you're right. Um, this is— this turned out really well. It sounds like this is one of my best friends is Polish and he's always, always talking about the motherland.

31:42

Mason: And here I am. I mean, Josh bangs on about Kraków as well. Yeah, yeah, I do.

31:46

Josh: What about the— can you say something in Indonesian for us?

31:51

George: I mean, I could say a couple of things in Indonesian for you. Yeah. Well, do I do an accent? Sorry to derail a little bit, but obviously when you're speaking another language—

32:04

Josh: No, it's not racist to do an accent. It's fine.

32:06

George: Yeah, but it's important. At what extent do you—

32:09

Josh: No, I think it's do it like you've got to take on the sort of the pronunciation, right?

32:14

Tommy: You can't speak Japanese as an Aussie bogan. Yeah, yeah.

32:16

Josh: It doesn't work.

32:18

George: Yeah, yeah, you can't— like, if you drop in from Indonesia, you can't say, 'Salamat pagi.' Yeah, yeah, exactly. 'Namaste, Jake.' 'Suka bola basket.' What's 'super baller basket'? 'Hi, my name is Jake. I like basketball.' Oh, that's good.

32:36

Josh: Um, I like it. Well, thanks, Jake. Well, enjoy, enjoy your day.

32:41

George: Probably get back to it, but thanks for the call.

32:42

Josh: Oh, no worries. How's the floor going? What are you working on right now?

32:46

George: Okay, I'll just This is a bit of a funny story, right? I won't take too much of your time, but so I'm doing a job for myself this weekend, right? Um, so we're doing this, it's a, for a race team, like a race team, the V8 Supercars, they're putting down a nice floor for them. Uh, now I'm borrowing some of my boss's equipment, uh, unbeknownst to him. Sure. Um, and anyway, so we're doing the floor, we're grinding away, we're preparing the floor. Next thing you know, our camera crew's just rocked up and they're still filming some content around it, presumably, for, you know, like, oh, this is so-and-so's new race warehouse and this is what it looks like, and we're going to be on there. And I just hope that my boss doesn't watch the V8 Supercars.

33:44

Josh: Is there some branding on his equipment? Branding at least? So, well, no, it's all like—

33:52

George: luckily I've got a mask on, so I mean, you'll be fine.

33:56

Josh: I mean, it's probably— there's a lesson there. There's definitely a lesson there in sort of ethical business. This is your first.

34:01

George: Yeah, yeah. Well, absolutely right.

34:03

Josh: Have you got your ABN yet? Oh, you know, absolutely. Okay, great. No, good.

34:07

George: I mean By my ABN, I mean I'm using my friend's ABN. All right, we'll finish it there.

34:14

Josh: Thank you. Hey, thanks. Uh, thank you, Jake. Uh, enjoy the rest of your day. Thanks, Jake. Jake Jansen, trivia king. I'm retiring Jake from the trivia stuff. I just— Mum always says how good he is. Mum is really good at trivia. So Mum is very— Mum's very good at spelling and trivia. Can I at least have one redemption of asking Mum one trivia question? Can we please? I'm just a bit— Hello? Oh, hi, Lynne Jansen. It's Josh from the Daily Talk Show. You're on the air. How are you? Good, thank you. We've got— we just spoke to Jake. I said to the guys that he was very good at trivia. And the questions were, I think, maybe too hard. So Mr. 97 will just ask you a trivia question just as a bit of redemption. Over to you, Sevs.

35:10

Mason: Which mammal has no vocal cords?

35:16

George: Which mammal has no vocal cords? I have no idea. Oh no.

35:25

Josh: Yeah, Jess, what do you think? Yeah, go for it, Jess.

35:28

Jess: I think it's an elephant because it just makes sound through its nose. Interesting. No, it's close.

35:34

Mason: It's a giraffe. I don't think so.

35:35

Josh: It's close. It's a giraffe.

35:37

George: I don't think so.

35:39

Josh: Are you saying—

35:40

George: It's an animal.

35:41

Josh: Okay. From the same country. Can we have one final question? Linh, can you just—

35:48

George: I'm a little bit nervous, Josh. I'm on my way for a job interview.

35:51

Josh: Okay, well, good luck with it. Okay. One last question. Yeah, one last. This is actually good. Yeah, one last question. Why should we hire you?

36:02

George: How long have you got to listen?

36:06

Josh: All right, final question.

36:08

Mason: Yeah. Okay. Um, okay, here we go. This is interesting. Which US state is known for its peaches?

36:17

Josh: Georgia. Oh, is that correct? It's Georgia. Yeah. Well done. I thought you said beaches. I was going to say Florida. Well, thank you, Lynn Jansen. Good luck on the job interview. That's great that that's happening.

36:33

George: Yep, nanakal. Oh, great.

36:35

Josh: Have you told your boss?

36:38

George: I have told my boss. Oh, awesome. I wouldn't be telling you guys.

36:41

Josh: Oh, that's good. That's super exciting. So close to— how close is that?

36:44

Tommy: Polar opposite of your son, Jake.

36:46

Josh: Yeah, Jake was using his boss's equipment to grind the floor. Is it close to the place you're building in Cowes?

36:53

George: Is it going to be a walk? It's 1.3 kilometers. Great. It's 3 minutes drive, it's 15 minutes walk.

37:01

Josh: Oh, perfect. Oh, great. Right, well, let us— it's a metaphor.

37:04

Tommy: Not if bloody Richard Jansen's driving, it's 1.5 minutes.

37:08

Josh: Master at the lights.

37:10

Tommy: Master at the lights.

37:11

Josh: Did you want to say, uh, Mum, did you want to say you were pissed off the other day because I said that Dad had raced James's teacher, but you wanted to be—

37:22

George: it was me.

37:22

Josh: It was, it was Mum. It was Mum drag racing. And what car did he have?

37:27

George: He had a souped-up Commodore. Okay. Like that he thought was the bee's knees. Like it was an older one. And yeah, I was pretty irresponsible. I had children in the car.

37:39

Josh: But, you know, did you take traction control? Did you take off traction control? Because that was a big thing.

37:44

George: I never took off traction control.

37:46

George: Yeah. Richie didn't.

37:48

George: He would always do that. He did all the time. Yeah. All right.

37:51

Josh: Are you driving yourself to the interview or what are you doing?

37:54

George: No, because Richie's going to have a look at the house. The floors are getting done today. 2 weeks today and it's out. Oh, that's awesome.

38:02

Josh: Very great. Did you end up changing the colour of the garage? We did. Really? Pain in the ass? No, no.

38:10

George: Well, he's ordered it. When we went last week, he said, Oh, I showed my partner and she thought the grey looked good, and I said, well, our son photoshopped it with a white door and this is what it looks like. And he said yeah. So, oh, thank you. He's ordered it. There you go. Alrighty, okay, good luck. Have a good day. See ya. Bye.

38:29

Josh: Good luck. Lynn Jansen there.

38:32

Mason: I do want to catch up. I did Google, um, easy trivia questions so we could—

38:38

Josh: trivia questions for dummies.

38:42

Mason: I will say though, I did find a really great one, and it would be great if you guys could answer this. How many hearts does an octopus have?

38:51

Josh: Fucking 6.

38:52

Tommy: 8.

38:54

Jess: Jess? No bloody idea. I'm gonna say how many legs has it. Okay, 3.

38:59

39:04

Mason: Go, Mason. Okay, um, How many eyes does a bee have?

39:13

Josh: 4. Jess, you're gonna say your name.

39:16

Tommy: Tommy, 1. I'm guessing.

39:20

Josh: Yeah, what's, what's the answer?

39:21

Mason: Okay, Josh, what are you—

39:22

Josh: I'm not gonna say— no, that's not how it works. Tommy's locked it in. What's the answer?

39:27

Mason: But Jess has locked hers.

39:28

Josh: Yeah, so I don't have to lock one in though, that's my choice. Okay, sure. Okay, what's the answer? 5. Okay, next one. What a random number.

39:36

Tommy: What a random number to have.

39:38

Josh: It is, it is random.

39:39

Mason: Here we go, Mason. Okay, now I'm just trying to figure the answer of this one out. How many stripes does Adidas have?

39:47

Tommy: Josh, tell me. 4. Jess? 3. 3. This is the thing, the classic 3 stripes Adidas pants.

39:55

Mason: It says 1949.

40:00

Tommy: Well, Josh, you're chucking in black or something as well.

40:02

Mason: It is 3.

40:04

Tommy: No, to be honest, they're known for their 3 stripes.

40:07

Josh: Yeah, you, you are right.

40:10

Jess: All right, well, that was fun. What runners are you rocking?

40:13

Josh: I mean, I have ASICS.

40:16

George: Yeah, I've got Adidas.

40:17

Mason: Oh, here's a good one, Josh. If you were paying attention during the, um, Secret Service stuff, John F. Kennedy was assassinated in which city? Oh, Dallas. They got it.

40:29

Tommy: Yeah, Texas, they got him.

40:32

Josh: And interestingly, the, uh, the coroner, uh, of the state tried to stop them from taking the president's body because the coroner said we have to actually do the investigation where it occurred— the autopsy, thank you— on where it occurred. And the Secret Service apparently pulled the guns on the coroner to say, hey, that's not happening.

40:56

Mason: Respect is dead. There was a blow-up with John F. Kennedy's partner.

41:00

Tommy: Yes. What was her name? So, um, Mrs. Kennedy.

41:05

Josh: Yeah, Mrs. Kennedy. She also—

41:06

Tommy: Kennedy was a dirty dog, I'm pretty sure. Dirty dog, like a womanizer. Really? Yeah.

41:15

Josh: Well, the, um, uh, Jackie famously didn't get changed and, uh, wore her bloodied dress for the entire day.

41:26

Tommy: Yeah. Oh God. Oh my God.

41:28

Mason: Because she wanted to show the public what they did to my, to my, um, Johnny. Johnny. Jesus.

41:35

Josh: Johnny, is that his name? Johnny.

41:36

Mason: Is this John F. Kennedy? Is that what it— John?

41:39

Josh: Yeah, it's John. Yeah. Well, that was fun. Yeah. Too much on my family stuff, you think? Maybe the call's slightly too long.

41:46

Tommy: Yeah, catch up later with mum. Yeah, go have a coffee.

41:48

George: It's great that she's, um, Now we're done.

41:50

Tommy: We know she did the interview.

41:53

Josh: Great. All right, well, uh, if you enjoy the show, leave us a review on Apple Podcasts. Also share on Instagram. We love when you do that.

Tommy: There you go. It's very short.

42:11

Josh: Ah, go for it then. Should I read it out? Yeah. Annabelle. Annabelle says, hi there, Gronks. Uh, just a little note to say thank you. I had a sinus surgery this morning morning, which I was anxious for, and unsurprisingly not feeling my best today. I was so grateful that a couple of episodes to catch up, catch up on today. It was the first podcast I went to to try and take my mind off being in hospital feeling very uncomfortable. You certainly did the job. Appreciate the laughs and distractions, Gronks. Take care, Annabelle.

42:39

Tommy: Oh, thank you, Annabelle. It's lovely. Great, thank you.

42:43

Josh: All right, uh, enjoy your day, guys. See you tomorrow. Have a good one.

42:46

Tommy: See you guys.

42:46

Mason: Bye.
