Out Of Office

Josh: It's The Daily Talk Show, episode 914.

Tommy: Happy weekend banter. Georgie Boy's here, Mr. 97. Welcome, guys.

George: Thank you very much. Good to be back. Good to be back. I love coming on Sundays, guys, because you're always in the best mood. So, feeling good.

Tommy: Thanks, mate.

George: Thanks.

Tommy: It's, uh, you know, hot day, heading to the beach. Um, We were just talking about how GB looks quite tanned. And then obviously there's, you know—

Josh: Nothing healthy about the tan.

Tommy: Well, that's what you guys were saying. I was watching, I was flicking through Insta, Insta stories, saw a girl I know at the beach this week and lying on a towel and smack bang in the middle of the towel, sort of just almost, it's turned over, was a bottle of reef oil, which was, I was like, oh my God, I can't believe you've put that up. It's obviously— you've had it. Reef— so Reef Oil. So back in the day, Reef Oil was, uh, it's— I mean, you're not using it for any SPF. If anything, it's like a 15 SPF, but it's oil, so your skin just absolutely bakes, and it smells coconutty. Like, it reminds me of family holidays back in the day because everyone was on it. Everyone was on the Reef Oil. I remember a woman who would use baby oil for tanning.

Josh: Yeah, I think that was a common thing in sort of the '70s and '80s and stuff like pre-us existing.

Tommy: Yeah, and so I guess, you know, come development of the world comes knowledge and we work out that that shit can't be used.

Mason: You know what is outrageous? No, well, so I'm on Priceline right now. And so there's Reef Moisturizing Suntan Oil with Coconut Oil SPF 6. 6 times more sun protection than your skin naturally provides. No mess, no waste. How outrageous is that?

Tommy: Less dangerous than the shit you get from the alleyway. This is pure.

Josh: To be honest, that marketing works for me.

Tommy: Well, 6 times— I get you.

Josh: So it's 6 times better than doing nothing.

George: Yeah, that's true. Wouldn't it be just infinitely better?

Josh: What do you mean?

George: Like, how much SPF is your skin? I guess maybe 1. Is that what they're saying? Your skin is 1 SPF.

Tommy: Well, that's what they— that's how they market it.

Josh: What does SPF stand for?

Mason: Sun Protection Factor. But the—

Josh: what I was expecting you to Google that, weren't you? That's a sun protection factor, you fucking idiot. Of course it is.

Mason: No, but I think like SPF 50 It covers like 90— I think it's like 97% effective.

Josh: I mean, something like that.

Tommy: Well, hang on, what— how does the number equate to the protection? Because like, when you get— if you're at 100, is that 100%? So they're not percentage-wise. So 50 equates to— what's one SPF percentage equation? Can you work that out for us, Seb? Do you know what I'm saying?

Josh: Yeah, like, yeah, it's diminishing returns. Like, you sort of— like, if you have A 50 SPF is—

Mason: this is not good. I don't think an 80 is going to be much. So, okay, here you go. So SPF 30 and SPF 50, there's a little bit of difference with like, um, broad spectrum. So there's like UVA and UVB. Like SPF 50 is a bit better at protecting you from both, but I think it's SPF 50 is a couple percent more effective. So I might be going from 95 to 97. Okay, but if you, but if you think about it the other way, so you're— there's 5% if you're at 95% effectiveness and you've gone to 97. I know, yeah, that, that fight, it's, it's doubled in effectiveness, right? Because it's gone from 5% to 2.5%. Anyway, yeah, so everyone go back and watch the video of GB's eye.

Josh: I know, specifically, it's like, no, it's just sort of like A little bit sort of like you're thinking in your mind. Yeah, yeah, he's just—

Mason: bro, yeah, he doesn't know what's happening. Yeah, anyway, Reef is outrageous.

George: Gemma would be screaming at the, um, at the computer at the moment. That's all I'm saying.

Mason: Well, I hope I, I hope I got like 80% of the way there.

Jess: Uh-huh.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah. I mean, look, if you choose to use Reefoil, that's up to you. That's on you with the knowledge that we have.

Mason: It's like if you choose to use a Solarium now Yeah, you're really asking for skin cancer if you're using suntan oil, aren't you?

Tommy: Well, I used them back in the day, both of them, solariums and suntanning oil. I had no idea, no one knew. Craig Harper owned a solarium. He talked about it on his podcast the other week.

Josh: Oh really?

Tommy: This was 25 years ago, legitimately before anyone thought there was any issue with it. And so he ended up binning it after he started to understand what was happening. This isn't, 5 years ago, this is 20-something years ago that he was in that case. But you see how the, yeah, it's just such a shift for people, such a shift.

Josh: Yeah, guys, the acronyms, the words that we use day to day, I feel like I was watching a video where it was someone using all this lingo. It was like, you know, all the different email lingo that we use. Yeah. But even things around just like all these weasel words like transparency or let's circle back or things like that. There was an email that I received for a calendar invite that said, Josh, on a different one I think it is, or is it the same one? Josh, no, no, no, zero, triple zero. I was like, okay, what's What's going on here? Triple zero, what have they got planned? What have they got planned? So Jess has sent us all a calendar invite that says Josh 000. Did you guys know what it meant straight away?

Mason: I had no idea.

George: Not straight away, but not too long after.

Tommy: Donuts.

Josh: Josh with donuts.

Tommy: 3 donuts.

Josh: Yeah, 3 donuts. Yeah, Mike Santos and 3 donuts. Where is, where is, that's a very inside joke.

George: This is a Stacks on Jess today, isn't it?

Josh: No, no. If you tell her that, she'll start, she'll actually start cracking it with me. But the, do you know what it means, TJ?

Tommy: After working it out, out of office. But it's not like Jessie is, she's great at office banter and unfortunately office lingo, office acronyms.

Josh: I've been out of the office for fucking 6 months. I think we need a new word, a new phrase, don't we?

George: OOW, out of workplace.

Josh: What about just annual leave?

Tommy: Yeah, AL.

Josh: I think annual leave.

Mason: Yeah, just try annual leave.

Tommy: Annual leave.

Mason: I was rattled. It reminded me, so mum who works at Specsavers, they recently brought someone new onto the team and as a part of the onboarding, a 2.5-page thing on acronyms.

Josh: We can't do this. Can you get your hands on it?

Tommy: Can you get your hands on it?

Josh: Oh, that'd be great.

Tommy: I'll say ours on it. Please rub out their logo, put ours on it.

Josh: Could you at least get us a couple? Can you message your mum for a couple of acronyms, please? Yeah, sure. By the end of the show, we can do that. Okay. Actually, the other thing, talking about families, my—

Tommy: He lives with his mum, Josh. He can go to the other room and ask her.

Josh: No, so my brother James messaged me and said, Jake and Mum, terrible at trivia. I'm the one that's good at trivia.

Mason: Which—

Tommy: Okay, okay, okay. I like this.

Josh: Which, so he said that, he did say that the only trivia that he's not good with is music. But he said all the other music he's good with. And so, what I said, sorry, all the other trivia.

Tommy: Trivia, yeah, yeah.

Josh: And so, what I said to him was, I was like, oh, what about a competition between one of TJ's bros and you, and he didn't like that idea. I think it just sort of elevates it all too much.

Tommy: It's like you don't like the competition, too much dick swinging.

Josh: Yeah, yeah, too much dick. There would be a lot of dick swinging going around.

Tommy: The little peckers get found out.

Josh: And so how do we feel? Should we try and FaceTime him now? He's your bro, what's he gonna—

Tommy: Can I play a good scene?

Josh: What time is it? It's 8:45 PM. In North Carolina, so it's perfect timing.

Tommy: How old's his bubba? How old's his baby?

Josh: Uh, I should know, I should know. I'm gonna say 2.

Jess: 2?

Josh: No one's gonna say 2.

Tommy: Really?

Jess: 2?

Josh: Yeah, you?

Tommy: Yeah, yeah. Maybe 1. Has she had her first birthday?

Mason: George? George, 1 or 2?

Tommy: Fuck, has she had her first birthday? The trivia question to take you away, Josh, how old is your brother's baby?

George: Charlotte is just 2, almost, almost 2 and a half.

Josh: It's in Georgia. I don't know if that's right.

Mason: I appreciate the confidence.

Josh: How old is Charlotte?

Tommy: I would say 1 and a little bit, 1 and 3 months.

Josh: Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. She had her first birthday. Yeah, yeah, no, it's 1 and 3. It's like 18 months. No, no, no, less, 14 months. Anyway, let's not get bogged down. We can ask. So, we can call—

Tommy: I'll ask just to make it out like you didn't know.

Josh: Charlotte is her name. She's very, very, very cute.

George: James, are we doing trivia?

Josh: Yes.

George: Okay, great. Can I play or am I not allowed to play?

Josh: You can play. Uh, who's going to be in charge of— Sebs, have you contacted your mum for some acronyms?

Mason: Uh, yeah, I've sent her a text. Nothing yet, nothing yet.

Josh: Okay, all right.

Mason: So did you want to do acronym trivia?

Josh: No, I think, um, no, just, just general trivia I think is good. Let's, let's call James now and see if he, see if he answers.

Mason: Should we do the same questions as last time?

Tommy: This is to hold the Jansen name high. Like, if this goes bad— oh Jesus, we could call— we call your dad.

Josh: I know, Richie.

Tommy: Political—

Jess: hello?

Josh: Oh, g'day, James Jansen, you're on the Daily Talk Show. How are you?

Jess: Good, how you doing?

Josh: Yeah, good.

Tommy: Um, hey James, I'm here. It's Tommy. How are you, buddy?

Jess: How you doing, Tommy?

George: Good, man.

Tommy: How's the little baby?

Jess: She's doing great. Yeah, she's doing really well. She's, uh, I guess 18 months old now and she's doing awesome.

Josh: Yeah, we're trying to work out how old. I was gonna say she was 2, nearly 2, but she's not quite 2 yet. She's 18.

Jess: One and a half.

George: One and a half.

Josh: Um, so we were thinking it would be a good chance for you to sort of, uh, help the Jansen name by redeeming the trivia disaster that was last week. Uh, are you okay with, uh, Mr. 97 asking some trivia questions and then you just seeing if you know the answer?

Jess: Sure, we'll see how we go.

Josh: Okay, great. Sevs, what do you got? Okay, he knows the answer.

Jess: GB, what's that?

Josh: So GB might know the answer. Georgie Boy, if he knows the answer Um, once, once James says the answer, GB, you can say whether you think it's right or wrong and then give another answer.

George: And come in for the steal.

Josh: Yes, yes. Okay. And go for it, Samms.

Mason: Okay, well, so this one has like A, B, C. Should we do that or should we just go?

Josh: No, multiple choice is terrible.

George: No. Okay.

Mason: All right. What team won the first NBA game?

George: Ever?

Jess: Yep. First NBA game? Yep. Um, is this in the like combined era or in the NBA era?

Josh: This is what Jake did. It's a playback. While we're talking, what do you think? Can you just give us two different potential answers?

Mason: Okay, well, I'll give you four potential answers: Boston Celtics, Golden State Warriors, Philadelphia 76ers, or the New York Knicks.

Jess: So I'm gonna say it's the New York Knicks.

George: I was gonna say—

Josh: okay, well done, George, you got it right. This is giving me anxiety. Okay, another one.

Tommy: This is good, he's one for one.

Josh: Okay, okay, okay.

Mason: Which country has appeared in 3 soccer World Cup finals but has never won?

Jess: 3 soccer World Cup finals. But has never won. Sheesh, that's a tough one.

Tommy: James, is it one? Is it one? Is it one?

George: I mean, man, do you want me to jump in or—

Josh: yeah, please.

Jess: He can feel—

Mason: yeah, as a sports guy, GB.

George: Um, I'm just gonna say Russia.

Josh: Okay. And Seb, what's the answer?

Mason: No, it's Netherlands.

Josh: I don't know where you got Russia from. Okay, great. And we're also, uh, part Dutch, so that's even more upsetting. Okay, uh, away from sport.

Tommy: Away from—

Mason: how many ribs are in the human body?

Jess: 12.

George: 17.

Mason: 24.

Josh: 24.

Jess: 24.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: Count on one side. Now that does— the math does make sense in regards to the 12.

Jess: You got 12 sets of ribs. Yeah, that's how it works.

Josh: 12 sets.

Tommy: 12 sets. Now I love that.

Josh: So 12 sets of 2.

Jess: Yeah, exactly.

Josh: Which is quite long.

Tommy: Yeah, a set is 2. You need 2 sets.

George: All right, all right.

Josh: Okay, next one, Seb's.

Mason: Okay, what is the most common colour of eyes in humans?

Jess: Most common colour of eyes in humans. I would say because the majority of the population in the world is based in Asia, they're more commonly brown-eyed. I'm going to say brown.

George: Got it.

Josh: Yeah, I was going to say brown. Okay, easy, he says.

George: Didn't need that much work.

Tommy: No, no, I appreciated his thinking. I love that, James.

Mason: Okay, and this is a great one. Okay. Which planet?

Jess: When you're on like Who Wants to Be— sorry, when you're on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, like they want you to like think through your decisions.

Mason: There's no cash here.

Jess: Eddie doesn't just— Eddie doesn't just want like, hey, and that's it.

Josh: Yeah, sure.

Jess: You know, like you're thinking.

George: No, I can't believe that.

Josh: Yeah, it is. What else you got, Sebbs?

Mason: Okay, which planet is the hottest in the solar system?

Jess: Hottest in the solar orb— I would think it's Mercury.

George: Yeah, I would say that.

Jess: Closest to the sun.

Josh: I'm gonna say Uranus.

Mason: Yeah, Venus.

Josh: Venus, really?

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: And this—

Mason: oh, here we go, one more, one more. This, this, this is really good. Power outages in the US are most commonly caused by what?

Josh: Oh, lack of power.

Jess: Oh, that's tough. So, so my initial thought would be hurricanes based on how often the Southeast gets that. Um, or you could say lightning. It would be one of those two. So I reckon it's gonna say hurricane. I'm gonna go hurricane.

George: It's gonna be something unnatural.

Jess: It's gonna be snowstorm.

George: I reckon it'd be like farmers like, like mowing over the power line or something.

Jess: No way.

Josh: Not like that. Squirrels. Squirrels is a good one. It was going to be something that feels less trivia and more sort of like something you'd see on a meme.

Jess: BuzzFeed. Yeah, yeah, no, that's not true.

Josh: All right, well, can we just do two?

Tommy: Imagine arguing with Eddie Maguire, mate. Whatever you said, not True.

Mason: All right, okay, where is the Sea of Tranquility located?

Jess: Sea of Tranquility, uh, that's on the moon, right?

Mason: Oh, he's got it!

Josh: Oh, well done!

George: Great one!

Josh: That's actually real good. That deserves a round of applause. That one's very— that's very good. So what is the Sea of Tranquility? Do we have any more information Uh, look, I think it's—

Mason: I'm Googling it now, but I think it's a little crater, maybe just dust. Yeah, yeah, it's a lunar mare, M-A-R-E, that sits within the Tranquillitas Basin on the moon. The material within the basin consists of basalt formed in the intermediate to young age group of the Upper Imbrian Epoch.

Josh: This is like SBF. Okay, and finally The final question for the win, for $1 million.

Mason: For what? Which kind of bulb—

Jess: I probably shouldn't find a friend in my family, right?

Josh: That is correct.

Mason: All right, which kind of bulbs were once exchanged as a form of currency?

Josh: Bulbs. Soda bulbs.

Mason: Bulbs. Yep.

Josh: I think I know.

Jess: I would think it's probably like tulips or something, right? Like poppy, like, yeah, I would think that's, that's probably the way to go. Tulips.

Mason: Yeah, it's tulips.

Jess: Yep.

Josh: Yeah, well, that's very good.

Jess: Wow.

Josh: I was going to say the one, uh, daffodil was what I was going to lock in.

Jess: Yeah, I want the daffodil.

Josh: Well, daffodils are quite nice.

Tommy: Yeah. And don't worry, when you said bulbs, all I thought was light.

Josh: Yeah, I did go.

Jess: Yeah, that was where I was. That's where I thought you were going.

Mason: Yeah, what a trick question.

Josh: Yeah, well, that was good.

Tommy: You did well. You did well.

Josh: Oh, here we go.

Mason: Can we just— can we just do one more? I found another interesting one. Which country was the Caesar salad invented in?

Tommy: Oh, oh, Rowville.

George: Yeah, Italy.

Jess: I was to guess this, I have no idea. I'm gonna guess it was one of those things that was like invented in the US that is meant to be Italian or something.

Josh: Yeah, I feel like it's probably made it like one of those, like, what's the, um, what's the Italian, uh, franchise in the US where they have like the breadsticks? What's that called? I can't remember now.

Jess: Um, Olive Garden.

Josh: Olive Garden. Yeah, yeah, it's got Olive Garden vibes. Uh, but I will lock in New Zealand.

Jess: That's a crazy guess.

Josh: What's the answer, Sebbs? Mexico. Mexico, right? That's— they've got nothing. What are they doing?

Tommy: They really cut it off, didn't they? They cut it off because they've got so much good shit.

Jess: I don't think—

Josh: wait, are you, are you contesting that one too, James?

Jess: No, I'm just so annoyed.

Josh: I actually, I actually think Mexican Cantina does do a Caesar salad now. I think they definitely do a Parma. Yeah, they've had a big sort of, they've gone a little bit more general in their menu offering.

Jess: Oh, boy.

Josh: They actually still, I'm just on their website, they've still got all the photos that I took for them.

Tommy: 1924 in Tijuana, Mexico. So, it's, yeah. I see how it's crept over the border without the wall that Trump hasn't built and Americans have basically stolen it.

Josh: Any other news, James? What's the vibe like in North Carolina at the moment?

Jess: It's fine. It's rolling along. So we'll see. We'll see what happens.

Tommy: Snowing?

Jess: No, no snow. We've had really good weather. So we actually have a big belt of rain that came through today and through the rest of the week, which is like the remnants of a hurricane that was in the Southeast. But now we've had pretty warm weather, so it's like t-shirt and shorts.

Josh: Oh, that's good. Do you, um, do you have good internet? Yeah, because I see that the, um—

Tommy: did you see what you speak?

Josh: Can you give us— yeah, do you know what the speed— the speed is?

Mason: Speedtest.net.

Jess: We're not on— so we have, we have fibre that's available near us. It's just become available.

Josh: Oh, that's good.

Jess: Um, but, uh, we— yeah, we haven't really needed it at this point. We've got It's pretty good, and we've— we got the hookup from our buddy Spencer with the, uh, Ubiquiti, the Ubiquiti, uh, little router device or whatever it is. And yeah, great, it's gone well for us.

Josh: Well, there's, um, because there's a new— Sebs, have you seen the new product that's launched, uh, by, um, Tesla or whatever, the satellite stuff?

Mason: Ah yeah, so that's— so they're, they're doing, uh, it's actually SpaceX. So SpaceX, they're sending out satellites and creating Yeah, a constellation of satellites to beam internet down to, um, Josh Jansen.

Josh: And people are already using it, people are already using it. So people in sort of the, the northern part of, uh, the US.

Mason: Yeah, I think it's quite affordable. Like, it's, it's not— I think it's less than $100 a month or whatever. And, um, $400 for the, the actual dish on your roof, and they're gonna get 6,000 satellites in orbit, and they've I don't— they must have like maybe 500 or so in orbit now.

Josh: And they were getting like, um, 20, 20 up and down, which is like— if obviously it's better for regional— it's for regional areas.

Tommy: You could be remote, you could be in the centre of Australia. Yeah, essentially. Yeah, yeah.

Mason: But it's also, it's, it's also quite like— it's not great at the moment, obviously, because they've only got 500 instead of 6,000.

Josh: Well, they actually have satellite— like, they actually have dropouts for 10 seconds And they were saying that you can actually predict when it's going to drop out based on, you can go on a website where the satellites are. And so, the thing with satellites, which I never really think about, but it's like you would actually need to have the satellite like above Australia, like you need to have them all over the place, right? So, it's like it is very geographic. It's not like TJ, they're like, oh, we've got the satellite now, we can just have it set up in the middle of Australia. They would need to have one specifically for that. Alright, well, thanks, James.

Tommy: Thanks, James.

Josh: Good job on the trivia.

Jess: Catch ya. Did I redeem our family?

Josh: Yeah, I think we're probably—

Tommy: I believe.

Josh: Yeah, I think we're probably set back.

Tommy: You're not known as the family that's great at trivia, let's say that. James Jansen is an outlier.

Josh: Yeah, we're not the trivia family, but we're not bad either. We have sort of a base understanding. Uh, thanks, James. Have a good one.

Jess: All right, bye. Have fun, guys.

George: Bye.

Josh: James Jansen there. Uh, I feel like Kaz would be awesome at trivia, JB.

George: Well, um, yeah, no, I think she's doing a law degree. She actually— no, she is. Every Saturday they do the, the quiz in the newspaper, and, um, and there's always big blow-ups.

Josh: All right, all right.

Tommy: Well, uh, come back next Sunday and Kaz will be on the show. Testing out George's family strength in the trivia round.

George: We should have to do— like, the newspaper quizzes are so hard.

Josh: We're not selling it.

George: I mean, yeah, trivia is a segment. It hasn't been going very well, has it, the last couple of weeks?

Tommy: Well, really, what's at stake is a family's name. That's why it's great. It's, it's not that we're just doing trivia, it's, is the Jensens all right?

Josh: Any update on the acronym, Mase?

Mason: No, no, I haven't heard back from Mum yet. She might be on a meeting.

George: Blow up.

Jess: What?

Tommy: WTF? Start throwing acronyms at her. She'll know what you mean.

Mason: She did mention it. Like, I remember like there were like a couple like very specific to like perhaps learning and development or whatever, or specifically Specsaves. And it's like, you know, store partners and all that sort of stuff have their own acronym and, you know. Development offices, like all that sort of stuff.

Josh: Yes, Jimmy.

George: Uh, advertising acronym, OOH.

Josh: Out of home.

George: Yep, you've got it.

Tommy: Out of home.

Mason: Out of home digital.

George: Do you know what that is? Out of home digital.

Josh: Yeah, billboards.

Tommy: Yeah, billboards. Oh, lovely, lovely.

George: Yeah, that sort of stuff.

Josh: Actually, it only— oh, you know what, that brand O, that's what they'd be talking about.

Tommy: Oh, media. Out of home media.

Josh: I never thought about that. I was always—

Tommy: Oh, that's cool.

Mason: Well, this is— I actually, I never— very— I mean, you'd think you'd know, but RE, do you know what that stands for?

Josh: Regarding religious education.

Mason: Oh, referring to RE. Referring RE is referring to regarding. It's referring to When are you using re?

Josh: Re, like re regarding, like regarding, regarding this last email.

Mason: Re.

Tommy: Oh yeah, yeah, I think it was regarding, regarding my last.

Josh: I don't think that's right.

Mason: Well, Vince, the same on themuse.com, same meaning really, isn't it?

Tommy: Re, referring to, regarding, referring to, or regarding to.

George: I've always said I thought it was regarding reference, real estate, regarding, reply.

Josh: Uh, it would be good to do the Daily Talk Show trivia, trivia night. It would be, it'd be cool to go to a pub and do it live, do a show.

George: Yeah, all Daily Talk Show questions, or—

Josh: No, I think you just sort of— That would be obnoxious, don't you think?

Tommy: Yeah, yeah.

George: Oh, you mean we go as a team and do—

Josh: Yeah, no, I think we could do like a, um, yeah, we could do sort of—

George: I think you meant hosting one for the Gronks. Who's the biggest diehard?

Josh: Oh, that's a thing too.

Tommy: Would you host it, Georgie Boy? And Josh and I won't come. We'll come by Zoom because it's still awkward.

Josh: How's— I mean, congratulations, GB, on 20 episodes of Hump Day Replay. It's a huge, huge achievement.

George: I am a trait.

Tommy: I definitely can't use trait for you.

Josh: Well, I was trying to say achievement, but then I also was trying to press the applause button at the same time. I've gotten very bad at doing two things at once.

George: Yeah, fair enough. Um, oh, thank you. Well, I can't take all the credit, obviously. Mason has been amazing, and, uh, you know, we're— I'd say we're a duo. Um, but yeah, it's been good, it's been fun.

Josh: So you want to put his face on there?

George: Oh no, no, no, not up to that level.

Josh: Yeah, absolutely not. I'm not having any of it.

George: Still my IP.

Josh: So, uh, what's the, uh, what's been the highlight over the the last 20 episodes, anything that stands out to you? Or even big learnings, how have you grown or what have you learned?

George: I've learned heaps. I can't really, just looking back and just like thinking back to those early episodes, how different I guess the mindset was going in. Like, it's just one of those things that you learn. I can't think about exact things that I've learned, but it's just you can tell that you've grown and you, you go back and go, oh, that's right, I had no idea what I was doing back then. Still don't have any idea, but no, I know you feel a bit more, you feel a bit more comfortable somehow, and you feel like it's, it's gotten funner and funner as it's gone on.

Josh: Oh, good.

George: And it's, um, and yeah, it's just been I don't know, I don't know, I don't know what I've learned.

Josh: He took something that's quite nice to be like, I actually don't give a fuck about it. Wrapped it up.

Tommy: Yeah, I love it. Appreciate it, appreciate it.

Josh: What about, uh, Seb, what have you learned, uh, about the, uh, Hump Day Replay and about yourself doing Hump Day Replay with GB?

Mason: Um, I mean, just, just quickly, uh, GB, like, from, from the outside, like, I definitely, like, being more curious and having the confidence to like jump in and lead the conversation, all that sort of stuff. Like, I think you've really like gained a skill there and just, yeah, I mean, every week you're able to do it. So, I mean, that's pretty cool.

George: What I— Likewise.

Mason: No, thanks, mate.

George: It's hard to think of like what you've actually learned. Like, it's just one of those things that you've gone through.

Tommy: 20 episodes was great. It's now done. Yeah. No, I think I haven't learned anything.

George: I think— yeah, go on.

Mason: No, I was about to say, just put— being able to form a show or have like a, like a rough— like, we went from having a, a run sheet which is filled out with all the word-for-word questions, and then being able to go from that to, you know, a couple of dot points of the topics we're going to talk about and like a question for each, and then just being able to be curious and ask questions and sort of chat to people and have banter throughout that. Like, I think that I never thought— and like, I thought I'd always run out of questions and not know what to say next and all that sort of stuff. But I think—

George: and when you're actually being present as well, like, that's something that we've gotten better at, I reckon.

Mason: When you throw yourself in the deep end, like, and you have like little— like, you're not reading word for word what your questions are, like, it forces you to be present and pay attention and actually be curious and ask questions, which, yeah, I thought I'd always be that run sheet guy just hitting the list of questions.

George: And another thing is just like how generous all the guests have been, like just giving us— like especially Brad Blanks the other day, you know, just, he's just there for you and he's just giving you everything and he's so nice and so supportive. And like I found that with every single person that's been on the show.

Tommy: $6 grand.

Josh: Yeah, that's what we paid. Yeah, $6 grand for an old appearance. We paid for his, um, hotel. He actually needed to stay at a hotel for some reason. His internet wasn't great.

George: But it's, um, yeah. And like Jack, you know, Jack's been really supportive. It's like, it's taught me to, um, I guess, yeah, if someone asks for something like Just give it, give it to them.

Josh: No boundaries. Just give it to me. George@thedailytalkshow.com if you've got any requests, anything that you want.

Mason: He'll give it to you, whatever.

Josh: Yeah, if you, if you want to have bar mitzvahs, well, whatever it is, he'll cut up a nice video. Yeah, yeah.

George: No, no, it's not true. Yeah, I've, um, yeah, like processes, like learning, you know, I think Hump Day Replay, the format, has been the perfect kind of stepping stone into this, into this idea of podcasting for me, because it's like you're using, um, content, like it's daily talk shows giving us content to talk about rather than having a blank slate. And I feel like less and less now, 20 eps in, it's actually been like less a recap show and more about the guests and just everyone chatting. And we use the content to get to those talking points. That's sort of the main thing.

Tommy: Stimulus.

Jess: Yeah.

Josh: That's great.

Tommy: So if we're looking for a news.com.au article headline, any blowups between you and Sev's internal that you haven't voiced? I feel like you guys, you guys would blow up at each other and not mention it.

George: No, we're C96, aren't we? We haven't seen Georgie Boy.

Mason: No, we're blow-up-free, aren't we, GB?

Josh: How do you do it?

Mason: It's just what a week. That's why you do it every day.

Tommy: I mean, it's not in your character, Seb. I actually couldn't imagine you blowing up unless it's about peanut butter. I could imagine you love that.

Mason: Speaking of peanut butter, how good's this? Mavers is half price at Coles and Pic's peanut butter is half price at Woolies. So go stock up.

Tommy: Something for everybody.

Josh: Yeah. Talking groceries, Bree bought one of those like taco pack things a while ago.

Tommy: Taco kit, yeah.

Josh: Yeah, taco kit sort of thing made with tortillas in it. And this morning I was making breakfast. I haven't made breakfast in weeks. I was like, I was thinking, I'm making an acai bowl. Like I had an Uber Eats, something like, but I just felt like I needed something. Normally I have a coffee, but Bree's on a shoot today. And so I was like, okay, I've got to go get a coffee. And then I just wigged out. I'm like, okay, I'm not gonna get a coffee. Will I get something delivered? And then I was looking at acai bowls. I'm like, I can't be fucked with dealing with a coffee spilled on an acai bowl or anything. Things like that. So, I decided to make something. I got the little bacon, cut up the bacon, cut up the onion, put it in a pan, got black beans, put the black beans in, went to get the eggs and then realised that both cartons of eggs expired in October.

Tommy: Oh, no.

Josh: So, I had all this, I couldn't use the eggs. So, then I got the, what was the Dinner Taco pack kit and I used the kit and made tacos, but I ate 5 tortillas in. It's too much. What was it called? The black beans. Like, I just put the black beans and all that sort of thing. It was all right.

George: Is this still leftover black beans from your hoarding?

Josh: Yes. Yeah.

Mason: Oh mate, there's a lot.

Josh: Yeah, yeah, I've still got about 15 cans.

Tommy: The eggs didn't make it.

Josh: Yeah, yeah, that's really— we do have a bit of a thing in our place of just like keeping shit in the fridge way too long. You just need to get rid of it, you know.

Mason: Well, I mean, you've still got those muscle meals from months ago in the freezer.

Tommy: I do, yeah. Speaking of, I'm gonna go have one.

Josh: Are you using— are you having muscle meals?

Tommy: Nah, there's just a— I mean, uh, Sevs, if you were into this stuff, I think you'd be trying to promote it every time you can. Uh, $4.50 for a Core Fitness, uh, they're like a core I think the company's called— it's a meal or something like that. It's like, yeah, it's a pre-made meal frozen. It's usually $9, and it's like, they're the big savings at $4.50. It's reasonable. I would buy them all the time at $4.50. I just never buy them at $9, and I always look for them on special, and they go—

Mason: can we trust the qual of the ingredients?

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, they are good. I've had a bunch of them. They're— I don't think they're up there with the Muscle Meal type, then it's amazing when you notice quality difference.

Josh: I'm trying a different one at the moment and, uh, it's premium economy at best in regard— like, yeah, like, it's, it's, uh, it's missing something. The chicken feels like— I don't know, you know that the chicken's gone through a lot. You want to taste something and be like, this chicken's gone through a lot.

Tommy: Yeah, like a lot of—

Josh: like, it's just feels like it's travelled. It's It's been frozen, unfrozen, sliced and diced and, you know.

George: Bit like that chicken in The Office the other day, Tommy.

Tommy: Have you spoken about it?

George: God.

Josh: From what Tommy described, it sounded like that chicken hadn't like, had just died by the smell of it.

Tommy: No, it smells delicious. No, it smells— The thing about walking into a workplace that has had fresh food cooked and it's there, like, it's not that it smells bad, it's context. It's like cinema and cook chook. Do they go together? Absolutely not. Podcast studio and chook, cook chook, absolutely not. Top floor office area, sort of near the outdoor area, yeah. Is it, there's, you know, I will say our office isn't great for food.

Mason: Is it the carpet? Like the car situation. No, it's just the whole thing. It's not very, that's the word, conducive. Like it's just not conducive.

Josh: And we don't have a lot of great food places around. That's always been my criticism, you know.

Tommy: There is, it's the middle floor. It's got little ventilation, Seb. Top floor, chance to open it up. You can just open up both double doors and you're good. But anyway, no cooked chooks. It's like a cooked chook on the tram. You're an absolute gronk if you're getting stuck into it.

Mason: You're a loose unit if you're eating on a tram, anything outside of amusement, Muesli bar, a Bliss Ball, or a banana on the tram, you're losing.

Josh: You'd be eating a banana on the tram?

Mason: I'd eat a banana on the tram.

Tommy: Yeah, see, that's— I mean, next level. That's like— don't you think it's quite erotic pulling back the skin?

Josh: And would you eat a mandarin?

Mason: I wouldn't.

Josh: Mandarin? Mandarin?

Mason: No, no, no, no, no.

Tommy: What about—

Mason: so the problem is like, I reckon the mandarin, probably the, the throw of its scent is probably too strong. And the other beautiful smell For some people don't like it.

Tommy: It's all context, Josh.

Josh: Name one person. I love the smell of sort of citrus.

Mason: Someone, someone at my high school didn't like it. I had to move away when I was eating it because they were just—

Tommy: no, they're like drugs. But eat, eat that thing like you discovered.

Mason: It's pretty—

Tommy: go around too.

Mason: Yeah, that's, that's why you don't, you don't have apples on the tram for that reason.

Josh: So apples are not—

Tommy: no, but I would say like, there should be a list of, of places and appropriate foods. That'd be quite funny.

Mason: And you can't do it on a packed tram either. It has to be like, you know, if, if you're standing next to someone pulling out a banana and eating it while—

Josh: I don't think you can eat at all. No, you're not public transport at the moment because you're gonna have to take your mask down.

Mason: Oh, you're not allowed to eat, full stop. You're never allowed to eat on trams.

Tommy: Yeah, gronks do it. That's what happens. That's why they are gronks.

Josh: All right, everyone, I've got to get, uh, finishing of the Screenplay Sunday script today, joined by Julian Haig and also Magpie. Tommy Jacket, yeah, has, has, uh, has a role in the—

Tommy: I'll just say it is the most over— overly happy good-energied magpie you'd ever meet.

Josh: Okay, don't go too hard because it'll piss me off.

Tommy: Look, you can't fucking win.

Josh: It's a Daily Talk Show. Have a good one.

Tommy: You can't kill someone twice. Double jeopardy, mate. I'm already dead.

Josh: All right, have a good one. Bye-bye.

Jess: See ya.
