Putt For A Cup

Tommy: It's a very low barrier to get into the Gronk Squad.

Josh: That's crazy. We've committed to do the Daily Talk Show for 10 years.

Tommy: Hi guys. Hi guys.

Josh: Put it in the calendar. I just like to cheque the temperature in the room. I told you my squeegee story.

Tommy: It is outrageous.

Josh: Come on, let's go. It's the Daily Talk Show episode 999.

Tommy: What is happening?

Josh: That's me on the megaphone.

Tommy: Everybody, happy Thursday night if you're listening when it's dropped. But if you're not, how are you?

Josh: Yeah. So, why Tommy's speaking like that is because we spent all day working on the studio for episode 1,000, which is happening in 11 hours' time. In less than 11 hours, we'll be sitting in these seats we've set up. I think we've got about 8 cameras for tomorrow. Go to youtube.com/thedailytalkshow. Make sure you watch our 1000 minutes to celebrate episode 1000.

Tommy: And Josh is now talking like a robot because we're tired. And I turn the back of him and he just talks if I turn the back of him. It's true.

Josh: No, it's exciting times.

Tommy: No, it is. It feels like— Do you have parties as a kid?

Josh: No. You didn't have— No. So, yeah, I guess like New Year's Eve or things like that.

Tommy: No, no, no. Birthday parties. Like, where your parents would put on a party for you at home. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Josh: But not really at home.

Tommy: Where were they? Like sports centres or something? Some kind of like activity centre?

Josh: I think they sort of stopped. I didn't have any from sort of age 13, maybe. Oh no, I did.

Tommy: I lie. They're like dance. They're actual parties. They're gatherings at 13 onwards. Like, you don't have any memory of this shit? You're the guy that loves this.

Josh: So, I remember, yeah, no, I remember getting the microphone out, having all my mates on the couch as I would like be singing and shit.

Tommy: That was fucking last weekend.

Josh: That's every, that was mate fest last weekend.

Tommy: No. I was just going to say it feels like the night before, like the night before Christmas or the night before your party. Early morning, as you mentioned this week on the show, like that energy that you can bring to something.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: Like an early rise and needing to get in to start to do something.

Josh: Feeling clammy.

Tommy: Yeah. Feeling like you're out of body. You're on a bit. You're a bit sick. You could have rona.

Josh: Yes.

Tommy: Like, but we're pushing through. You got to. Nothing stopping tomorrow. At 1,000, the thousandth time we will turn on the microphones. We've done it more than 1,000 times.

Josh: Alright, Mr.

Tommy: Broadcaster.

Josh: Oh, listeners. Turn on the microphones and speak to your listeners. That's beautiful. It's a beautiful thing.

Tommy: Yeah. So it's a big day.

Josh: Can we tease some of the stuff that we've got happening?

Tommy: Yeah. Oh, first up.

Josh: Yes.

Tommy: The Big Cup Company. These are the big yellow cups. I can't, I don't have any on me, but there is one on George's desk right now that we can see. These are going to be yours if you want them. If you're in Melbourne Friday, tomorrow, tomorrow, what's the date?

Josh: Tomorrow will be the 16th.

Tommy: Friday the 16th. P.O.

Josh: box actually lapses today. I need to pay the P.O.

Tommy: box. Friday, 16th of April.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: 8 Ferguson Street in Abbotsford. That's where you come if you want a cup. Come there because there's a doorbell and it's— There's a cup over the doorbell and it's got a little hole in the cup. You just put your finger through the hole.

Josh: Are we doing the golfing thing for everyone?

Tommy: Well, I would like to.

Josh: Okay. So, it is good.

Tommy: But if we're doing it, if there is something— Yeah. So, there—

Josh: For cups.

Tommy: Putt for a cup.

Josh: Putt for a cup.

Tommy: This was invented by George Martin. And we have in the garage, we've got a rolled out piece of carpet.

Josh: Yes.

Tommy: It's about 8 foot, 8 to 10 foot. There's a cup that I've now fixed down. And when you, when you arrive and you press that doorbell, we will open the garage and you can come in and putt for a cup. You know what? I'm giving away these cups for free.

Josh: That's huge for Keith. That is, that is massive.

Tommy: You know what? I think we'll be—

Josh: Will the cups bring us down?

Tommy: No, I've done the math.

Josh: Yes.

Tommy: And I'm willing to take the loss on the Caps.

Josh: Yeah, great. For the Broncos squad. Yeah, it's not a loss if it's for the Broncos squad.

Tommy: Absolutely not a loss.

Josh: Can I tell you who we have planned for tomorrow?

Tommy: Yeah, run through because we've got 16 hours of content to get through. Over 16 hours. Run us through. Come on, son.

Josh: Okay. Peter Sheppard joins us. Gemma Watts, Jules Lund, Stacey June, Crystal Andrews from Sydney. She'll be dialling in. So will Ben Fordham. Trev Long. We'll be having a musical guest, Jack Post. Matt Diavella from Sydney via the internet, just like the other three. Craig Harper in studio. And finishing up at that around the 10 p.m. to 10:40, we have the one and only Ryan Shelton.

Tommy: Yeah, this is great. This is— I'm fired up about that. I feel like it's just hanging out with friends for 16 hours and I've done that, but I had to take drugs to do it.

Josh: Yeah, sure. Yeah, yeah.

Tommy: It's called a bender.

Josh: Yeah, big bomb company. But it will, it will be great. It does sort of have vibes of the 24-hour stream. Yeah. The great thing is that we— can I talk about some of the tech that we've organized?

Tommy: Yeah, why not? We've not— don't have much else to say because we're fucking a bit buggered.

Josh: Well, some of my favourite things that we've incorporated. So we've got lots of cameras. We're using an Australian company called BirdDog. They have a PTZ camera. So we've got pan, tilt, and zoom, everyone. So that's fantastic. But we also have connected up the garage. So as guests arrive, they'll either drive in or walk into the garage and they'll be greeted with us talking to them already. George will be there handing them a microphone and it starts as soon as you walk through the front door.

Tommy: And the best thing is we haven't told anybody that that's what's going on.

Josh: Well, no, this is it. This is me telling them.

Tommy: Oh yeah. So this is it.

Josh: Okay.

Tommy: But I'm sure, I'm sure Craig Carver won't listen to this and he'll be, it'll be 8 PM on a Friday night and he'll just be a bit blown away.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: But up for it.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: What are you boys doing?

Josh: It'll be good fun. And so on the thing of having parties, like, did you, you obviously had some.

Tommy: Yeah, I had one. All I remember is this one kid. Who sits at the head of the table at a party?

Josh: The birthday boy or girl.

Tommy: Yeah. Well, there was one party. I've got a photo and I just remember the blow-up of this kid wanting to sit at the head of the table.

Josh: And it wasn't happening.

Tommy: No, he sat at the head of the table and there's a photo.

Josh: And so was the blow-up with you?

Tommy: I think I wanted to sit at the head of the table for some reason.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: I mean, it's your birthday.

Josh: There you go.

Tommy: My— yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, it's the one day that you you should let ego take control of your body.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: Your birthday. Birthdays are very egocentric.

Josh: Yeah. I mean, you only get one. I mean, I'm not really a birthday guy. Yep.

Tommy: Celebrating 1,000 episodes. Ego.

Josh: Yeah. It does feel weird. Like we've spoken about it. I don't want to blow our load too early because I know that we're going to—

Tommy: Talking about it.

Josh: Talking about it. Because I know tomorrow This is what we're going to be doing. We'll be doing it for 16 hours. It just actually, 16 and a half hours. Yes. Just reminded me, I need to set up a clock. You have a clock to be able to go down in time. I'll be able to organise that.

Tommy: How? Yeah.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: You do need that.

Josh: I mean, it could be—

Tommy: Trying to think of how to do it.

Josh: It could be as simple as an iPad and setting 16 hours and 40 minutes and we could just have it there. So, it's an actual visual because you can do that. Yeah.

Tommy: We could all set it on our phones as well. Like everyone's got it. So if, you know, it goes off at the same time, goes out. Yeah. So can you do 16? Yep. Yeah, great. This is great.

Josh: Why?

Tommy: Everyone's iPhone. Why? What do you mean?

Josh: Well, okay, so if you've got, it's going to be in—

Tommy: You want the countdown so I can start and it does that. You want the full, like the actual countdown.

Josh: If you start it now and add the right amount of time, it's probably better.

Tommy: Do you have the head to do the math on that?

Josh: Yeah, I do. Will you be impressed if I tell you straight away?

Tommy: If you tell me straight away, based on the 1,000-minute. Yeah. Knowing exactly.

Josh: So, we don't want to spoil David Blaine. It's 16 hours and 39 minutes.

Tommy: It is?

Josh: I don't know.

Tommy: I don't know. Maybe we missed the date of this whole episode.

Josh: But that is, so, it's 16 hours and 39 minutes. Yep. We're recording this at 7:20 AM. Sorry, 7:20 PM right now.. And so what you would do is you would say it's 10 hours and 40 minutes until the show.

Tommy: Yeah. So you go add.

Josh: So then you add that.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: So 10 hours and 40 minutes onto the 16 hours and 39 minutes. I can't be fucked. Anyway, it doesn't matter. But when you set alarms on your phone, so say if you've got something.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: The— I saw a meme and it's like, you're one of two people. It's like your 5 AM alarm or 5, 5:10, 5:20.

Tommy: What are you?

Josh: I just set a few because like, might as well if you fuck one up.

Tommy: But how— So, right now, how many alarms have you got set in your iPhone?

Josh: Okay.

Tommy: Like, is it all— Is it— You can see it without swiping? Or do you need to swipe?

Josh: I have 1:50 AM, 2 AM, 3 AM, 3:30 AM, 3:50 AM. 4 AM, 4 AM, 4:15 AM, 4:30 AM, 4:45, 5:10, 5:20, 5:30, 5:40, 5:50, 6:00, 6:15, 6:30, 6:45 AM, 7:00 AM, 7:27 AM, 7:45 AM, 8:00 AM, 8:30 AM, 10:49 AM, 11:50 AM, 1:40 PM, 3:01 PM, 6:35 PM, and just say how many—

Tommy: 25— just count how many more you've got.

Josh: That's it? That's 11:11 PM.

Tommy: Yeah, interesting. Yeah, I've got— yeah, 5, 5, 7, 35, 45, 56, 6, 15, 20, 30, 4, 35, 40, 45, 57, 20, 30, and then 12 PM and 1 PM. But sometimes you do this: Hey Siri, delete all alarms!

Josh: And it will do it? Yes, that's good.

Tommy: That's a hack because think about you most people would try and just turn them all off or delete them one by one. Well, ask Siri to do it. Outsource to Siri. That's what we say.

Josh: Talking about outsourcing to Siri and hacking, um, there is an event for Apple. They're announcing some new things. Yes, April 20th. Very exciting. I'm thinking it could be the, um, uh, those, uh, AirTags or whatever they're called, which will allow you to find different items. So you'll put it on your like a low, low power Bluetooth or things like that. Yeah. So you can track where your bags are or if you lost something. Does this have to be in your house or is this like your wife?

Tommy: So you think your wife's banging Tyrone.

Josh: Well, no, but you'd use Find Friends for that.

Tommy: Yeah, but what if she turns off Find Friends?

Josh: Yeah, well, it's getting into a little bit of sort of a seedy territory. You can't really.

Tommy: You can't do that.

Josh: You shouldn't be really tracking people like that.

Tommy: Shouldn't track. You shouldn't track people. Should you track your staff members?

Josh: If there's approval, if they know about it, it's okay.

Tommy: You should definitely not. That's not how you catch a cheater, though. Ask for approval.

Josh: But yeah, it's shady.

Tommy: You shouldn't do it.

Josh: But anyway, so Apple. Yes. 20th of April. Do you know how people found out? Do you know how it was leaked?

Tommy: I'm guessing hacked.

Josh: No, no. Someone asked Siri, said, hey Siri, when's the next Apple event? It said April 20th.

Tommy: No.

Josh: Before the announcement happened, they'd already updated it in some sort of system and someone asked Siri and that's how it, um, it got announced.

Tommy: Hey Siri, when's the next Apple event? Yeah, the special event is on Tuesday, April 20th at Apple Park in Cupertino.

Josh: In Cupertino.

Tommy: Yeah. Wow. And the only reason I wanted to do that is because I was thinking, is that pulling from news? Like, you can ask Siri to tell you about a person and it usually goes like Wikipedia or something. It says that it's pulling from apple.com.au, yours. But I wonder if it, if that was like on the site backend or something and somehow Siri, the dirty little dog. Do you reckon she got in trouble?

Josh: Well, the, yeah, engineers or whatever. No, I think it's fine. I think. But yeah, you do.

Tommy: Do you think there's these like the leak stuff?

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: People, you hear people leaking.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: Comedians leaking stuff. You think it's.

Josh: There's a guy getting sued right now in a massive way. Oh, an ex-Apple employee for leaking something. Yeah.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: Like, it's huge. So apparently he, he did some of this stuff whilst using a phone.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: That was owned by Apple. But yeah, it's Apple sues former MacBook product design employee for allegedly leaking to the press. It's like it's a huge, huge case.

Tommy: I guess when there's lots and lots of money at stake.

Josh: Well, there was also the, um, uh, I think it was, I can't remember which, uh, whether it was Engadget or Gizmodo, one of those, um, uh, blogs, tech blogs back in the day. This would have been 2008, 2009.

Tommy: Uh, someone, an Apple employee using the latest Apple phone accidentally leaves it in an Uber, which sounds crazy, like If you've got the first Apple or whatever the phone was, if you've got the first of its kind, you think you'd be more careful.

Josh: Like, I think it actually had a case that sort of made it look less like the new phone. So, sort of hid some of the features. But anyway, got left in an Uber. Someone then went to, I think it was Gizmodo, and said, hey guys, I've got this phone. Do you want it? Rather than Gizmodo reporting about it, they actually went to the police.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: And it was a big deal because it showed the power of tech companies because the, they ended up getting raided and stuff. The person had the phone like it was a, yeah, it was a big deal.

Tommy: I left a small HD, which is like a screen that plugs into a camera.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: Not telling you.

Josh: Yeah, no, no, no, no.

Tommy: I left one in a park, real tired. I was just sleepy and I wasn't thinking and I had my camera, it had a, the small HD off the side and it was on a shoulder rig and I fucking took it off for some reason, put it down and then went about my business. What's someone doing with that? Like, if you're just a gronk who finds that, you wouldn't know what it is. You wouldn't know what it does. Like, how, like, what do you do with that in that? In that case, like, unlucky for a tech person to find the iPhone and know. If I found that, wouldn't think to do that.

Josh: Yeah, I mean, um, Scooter Derek played golf with him. He had his jacket, didn't want to walk around with his jacket, left it on the ground outside the pro shop, right? I was like, what are you doing? It's like, it'll be fine. Anyway, we finished the golf round, he just walks on up to the pro shop to lost and found. Grabs his jacket like it's fucking cloakroom. Like, that's how he is.

Tommy: He put it onto the ground and they knew the ground, so they would pick it up.

Josh: He said, oh, he said, oh, someone— um, Scooter was like, oh geez, that was lucky. Apparently they found it out, found in the car park. So someone had taken it from out the front of the pro shop, tested it out, wasn't a good fit, and then left it on, on the ground in the car park.

Tommy: This is— it's kind of clever because what he's understanding is human psychology and understanding what, what the first go-to will be. And that is usually, uh, found these like useless— so keys, you see, you know how you see people hang keys on a path, might be a bike path or somewhere, and it's like obviously someone's lost them? The beach, there's like, like hard to take them to the cops if you don't know, if there's no name on them. Yeah, you just hang them there.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: And you hope that that person comes back looking for them. But that's clever.

Josh: Yeah. Yeah, lost and found things interesting. I mean, George was leaving his mate's car at the airport and he just put the keys on the wheel.

Tommy: Okay. That can go bad.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: I had a friend that had his car broken into. There was keys inside. They drove it off.

Josh: Yeah, that's really annoying, isn't it?

Tommy: Very unlucky. So, I think surfing. Oh, a dude, a dude who went for a run at the tan has like an old sick BMW, I think it was, or a Mercedes, like an old school, like sought after, put the keys under the tyre vibe. They found them.

Josh: Yes, it's an obvious, it's an obvious thing.

Tommy: Surfing and stuff, there's new— so we used to do it when we went surfing, but there's now lockboxes. Dude, lockboxes are the best. If you don't have a lock— so we have a key in our lockbox at our house, it's out the front.

Josh: At that point, why don't you just— so the lockbox is a code?

Tommy: Lockbox is a code. Yeah, so the thing you're not getting inside—

Josh: ideally you want just a code on your lock. Yeah. I mean, that's like, if you're talking about— Yeah, I understand what you're saying.

Tommy: But then we walked out the front, Amy closed the doors. Like, you got the keys? Because I was still packing the car. She's like, no, I thought you had the— Oh, no. Anyway, lockbox.

Josh: So, Amazon, they have released a product with their doors, sort of a service where you can allow Amazon delivery drivers to put your delivered goods inside your home. Would you allow them to do that without you being at home?

Tommy: If I lived in New York and I had like a, you know, like the— What about before you get— Nah, absolutely not.

Josh: Really?

Tommy: No. No, I don't.

Josh: Because you were funny about— So, Jess is getting her smoke detectors checked out.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: And she just let them in without her being home.

Tommy: I would never let a smoke detector person in. I would never let anyone but the real estate agent because I think you're actually You could probably push back on it. You can probably push back on it to the point of—

Josh: The real estate agent, they have to give 24 hours notice. And if they do that, then—

Tommy: But that's their right.

Josh: They have a right to look at the property. Yeah.

Tommy: Yeah. Wow.

Josh: To inspect.

Tommy: I mean, the owners of this property where we are have a right to inspect, but they just haven't taken that right. Yeah. It's been 2 and a bit years.

Josh: They'd be a bit shocked, wouldn't they?

Tommy: They would be, right? Especially if they went to the garage.

Josh: Right.

Tommy: When I was stripping over in New Zealand. There was like 4 guys that I met when, when we started. I didn't know who they were before, and so I had to become buddies. One of them was a sound— a roadie, like a sound guy who would set up all the microphones, the speakers, etc.

Josh: He—

Tommy: Loose Unit— was like, uh, running late to the airport when we were flying out. We flew out from Sydney Airport and parking, like JB, you know, experienced. It's hard to find expensive— where do you leave it if you're going away for a long time, if you haven't booked a car spot, blah blah. He put it on the side of the road, just left it on the side of the road. Some people are loose like that, dude.

Josh: Silly, silly.

Tommy: Casey Neistat put something on his, um, Twitter. It was like the question, uh, if you get enough— if you have enough unpaid parking fines in LA, can you go to jail for that?

Josh: Just pay him. He's got enough money.

Tommy: Yeah, I know, that's what people are saying. Privilege. But he must have a fuckload. Yeah, yeah, if that's your vibe. I'm so cautious of parking fines. It's so fucking annoying. They're too annoying.

Josh: I agree. It seems unnecessary, doesn't it?

Tommy: George is pretty loose. He left his car out the front. It was his car. It wasn't his car. He had his mate's car. Maybe that's why. And he's like, oh, I might have one. Oh, don't worry.

Josh: Didn't do it. I guess maybe it's because he's like, I'm not paying for the car. You can justify things in a million different ways, can't you?

Tommy: Well, I think that's what rich people do when they've got a Ferrari. Just pay the— Huge ego. They're like, fuck it, park in this. No standing.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: It's only annoying when your car gets towed.

Josh: So we're episode 1000 tomorrow. 1,000 minutes on youtube.com/thedailytalkshow. Yeah, but we've got to work out, I think, um, should we do them shorter so that we can save them down as well? So for instance, when we did the 24 hours, we couldn't, um—

Tommy: Oh yeah, yeah, we're gonna stop, um, uh, 8 hours in.

Josh: Okay.

Tommy: What is it?

Josh: We've got to work out what the, the limit is, but between 5 and 12 hours. 12 hours, great.

Tommy: GBs across it. So we're going to stop maybe, um, 6 hours in for a few minutes. Yeah, it's just to start and stop again, which would fuck with the timer if I set that. Annoying. Yeah, but will only be a few minutes, so you can then watch the stream again. Um, the first hour of the show will go up, so you'll be listening tomorrow on the podcast platform to the first hour. It'll be fun, um, bit of banter, but then you'll hear the rest of the show throughout the following week. Part 2, Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 of the 1000 episode.

Josh: Yeah. All right, we'll, uh, we're gonna go to bed. George won't be here, he's working on an edit. We'll see you tomorrow, guys. Have a good one.

Tommy: See you, guys.
