It's The Daily Talk Show episode 873. Happy Monday, Gronks. What's happening? What's going on?
How are we, JJ? Very good, thank you. Big day for BMC. Day one of Jess Lucas joining us full-time as general manager.
Yes. Welcome, Jess. Thank you. She's likely here.
That's the audio. No one is in my house. It's just me. We're in lockdown still.
That should end soon, though. How's daylight savings treating you? Oh, mate, I feel rough today. I feel good, energy-wise.
Like, good. You know, just feeling good about myself. But just rough as in, yesterday, this would have been a classic line across parents across Victoria. And it was, mate, how good was our sleep-in?
We got a good sleep-in. And then you just bank it. You're just like, because you've got to bank the sleep-ins when you get them. You're just like, fuck, what amazing.
Bodhi's slept till 8:30. And then it hits you that it's daylight savings. And you get, like... So does that mean...
So I didn't even... Like, all my clocks and stuff changed, right? So you don't even really feel it. Bryony and I heard a girl, like, at one o'clock, she's like, oh, it's daylight savings.
Like, it just worked it out. Exactly. We went to the coffee shop, and the lady told me. And then I just looked at Amy, and I was like, oh, no.
Because we thought Bodhi had a big sleep-in. And so when the kids sleep in, everything's good. But no one slept in. We got up at 7:30.
It was just 8:30. The new time, the daylight savings. So this is... It always really ruins my mind.
I'm trying to understand this. So... Right now, it's 7:30 a.m. in last week's time frame.
Sure. If you're feeling a bit tired, it's because it's 7:30 a.m., but it's actually gone forward to 8:30 a.m. And so when Bodhi woke up, did he wake up at 8:30 the new time? 8:30 the new time.
Well, that's good. No, it's not, because he hadn't actually had a sleep-in. But the times change, you don't have to worry about him having a sleep-in because it's done it for you. So does that have some sort of back-end result?
So what's... Because doesn't it just mean every single time now, is it because it's going to be harder to get him to sleep? Oh, everything shifts. You know, like, this is the thing, JJ, like, my brother has a year-and-a-bit-old boy, and he has a 12:45 strict daytime nap.
And it can go for three hours. Like, it's a huge... That's a big daytime sleep. It's a huge sleep.
So 12:45, he needs to hit that. But 12:45 is now 1:45, the new time. Because 12:45 is actually 11:45. So you can't...
So yesterday, my brother had... The kid was still fired up. They haven't changed. They don't...
They're iPhone. They don't own an iPhone. Their iPhone hasn't just, like, auto-updated. No one is in my house.
It's just me. We're in lockdown still. That should end soon, though. How's daylight savings treating you?
Oh, mate, I feel rough today. Just, like, I feel good, energy-wise. Like, good. You know, just feeling good about myself.
But just rough as in... Yesterday, this would have been a classic line across parents across Victoria. And it was, mate, how good was our sleep-in? We got a good sleep-in.
And then you just bank it. You're just like... Because you've got to bank the sleep-ins when you get them. You're just like, fuck.
What amazing. Bodhi's slept till 8:30. And then it hits you that it's daylight savings. And you get, like...
So does that mean... So I didn't even... Like, all my clocks and stuff changed, right? So you don't even really feel it.
Bryony heard a girl, like, at 1 o'clock, like, oh, it's daylight savings. Like, just... It just worked it out. Well, exactly.
We went to the coffee shop, and the lady told me. And then I just looked at Amy. Oh, no. Because we thought Bodhi had a big sleep-in.
And so when the kid sleeps in, everything's good. But no one slept in. We got up at 7:30. It was just 8:30.
The new time, the daylight savings. So this is... It always really ruins my mind. So I'm trying to understand this.
So... Right now, it's 7:30 a.m. in last week's time frame. Sure.

And it can go for three hours. Like, it's a huge... That's a big daytime sleep. It's a huge sleep.
So 12:45, he needs to hit that. But 12:45 is now 1:45, the new time, because 12:45 is actually 11:45. So you can't... So yesterday, my brother had...
The kid was still fired up. They haven't changed. They don't... They're iPhone.
They don't own an iPhone. Their iPhone hasn't just ticked forward. No one's in my house. It's just me.
We're in lockdown still. That should end soon, though. How's daylight savings treating you? Oh, mate, I feel rough today.
Just, like, I feel good, energy-wise, like, good. You know, just feeling good about myself. But just rough as in... Yesterday, this would have been a classic line across parents across Victoria.

Like, all my clocks and stuff changed, right? So you don't even really feel it. Bryony and I heard a girl, like, at one o'clock, like, oh, it's daylight savings. Like, just...
It just worked it out. Well, exactly. We went to the coffee shop, and the lady told me. And then I just looked at Amy.
Oh, no. Because we thought Bodhi had a big sleep-in. And so when the kid sleeps in, everything's good. But no one slept in.

Well, exactly. We went to the coffee shop, and the lady told me. And then I just looked at Amy. Oh, no.
Because we thought Bodhi had a big sleep-in. And so when the kid True, true. They could just give us the whole packet. Yeah, or like Killer Python in the single sort of plastic sort of thing.
Do you remember all those single things from 7-Eleven? Do you have nostalgic memories of 7-Eleven? No, no. So 7-Eleven for me was something that was for the inner city or the city.
Like we didn't have a 7-Eleven. Like now I think mobile was all the mobile service stations have been replaced by 7-Eleven. But 7-Eleven was sort of like Krispy Kremes in the sense of like Americana. Like Carl's Jr.
or something, right? Like that was pretty trendy. It's pretty cool. You see it in the movies.
Yeah, well, I had one near me. The phone number that you call me on thanks to 7-Eleven's prepaid mobile. I feel like it was Optus, but that's where I rode my bike down when I was in year six to get my prepaids in. Could you get it yourself?
Did you do it on your own? Yeah. Well, because you just, you've got to activate it all. It seems bizarre.
Can you buy, can a 12-year-old buy a SIM pack now? I don't know the law around it. I mean, a lot of like when you're overseas, you always have to give your passports in and things like that when you want to get a phone number. I'm not sure.
Oh, like at the, like in America at the store. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You always got to know, got to know what's coming from. Yeah, very nostalgic for me.
7-Eleven. What would you get? What sort of food? Oh, Big Boss's.
Big Boss's. The Killer Pythons, the long ones. You know, we had a Dorito scam going once where you could, they, this is, oh, oh, we also had a Mars bar scam going. Yes, the Mars, so the Mars bars.
So Dandenong Basketball Stadium, I reckon their canteen nearly went broke with the amount of Mars bars. And so I thought it was like winning because like on basketball, like on the school holiday camps, I had, I would like to say six wins in a row. And there'd be fucking Mars bars. What was it?
Tell us what happened. What was it? So it was a, you would open it up. It felt like gambling.
Like it really got me fired up. Like it worked so well because I bought Mars bars with the idea that I could double it. And you would open it up and you would see like a one free Mars bar or like, better luck next time. And I don't know whether this was by design or what, but I reckon, yeah, there was a time where I got like five in a row and I just thought like it was the funniest shit ever going up to the canteen.
Like got another one. And like, I was pretty sure that she thought that I was like, had some sort of scam going on. Yeah. Well, we had a scam going on.
You could roll, you could roll the wrapper slightly without opening it, hold it up in the light and see which one was actually a winning bar. So how would you, how would you do that? So you're in the shop. Yeah, because it was a big store and they weren't at the front.
It was like aisles, maybe two aisles, small issues, small 7-Eleven. Walk to the back, grab it, hold it up. They didn't know what was going on. They didn't know what was happening.
And then there was another scam going on, which, this was grade five. Oh, I'm getting nostalgic. I remember Doritos had these, these chips in them. Not, not the actual chips.
Like Tazos. Yeah. It's like a Tazo and then there was like a piece of paper on there. And there was like some scratchy thing to get, it was gambling for chips.
Yeah. And so. I do remember the scratchies that we got in the Doritos. Yeah, dude.
Can I sue them anymore? Because I feel like it's been so long that I've bought food for the, for the aim of winning something. Yeah. Maybe you can't anymore.
Anyway, these kids in, in learn how to forge them. Like legit forge the Doritos. So the only person going sort of going under was the actual canteen because you got to think about it. They would send them back to the supplier.
Maybe this is the issue because when you get given, say you buy a box of bars and then you're having half the bars one somehow, you're probably sending the wrapper or giving it back to the distributor, distribution center to get those bars returned to you. So you get it again. Surely, surely they already know based on every box. Nah, nah, no way.
How many there's going to be. Oh, that's a good point. So there you go. So the next box has four in it.
And so we're going to give you a discount of four because you're going to have four loose. But what about this? What about if I'm a gronk who just so happened to be in another suburb and I had six free bar things and I went in and I said, mate, I got six free bars. I'm actually tempted.
Should we try and call my mate Chris? Actually, I won't just in case he's lost his job at Mars or something in this tough time. I was going to say, it'd be great to call Chris who works in sales at Mars and say, what are you looking at? Did you hear about the Disney, the mass exodus?
Isn't that fucked up that that's a consideration now? It's like, oh, shoot, like recession. Yeah, like 28,000 workers lost their job due to the pandemic at Disney. That's a, that is so many people.
Wow. It's not ideal. And just before we started recording, the New York, the New York mayor is considering closing down 19 neighborhoods to avoid a second wave, which is crazy. Outside of the island over in Brooklyn.
I mean, very congested. Yeah, Queens. It's, I mean, it's sad. I've seen a bunch of people move out of there just on social media seeing them get out.
It's, it's full on. Yeah. I mean, in Australia, it's pretty like very low at the moment. Very low.
And so come the end of the month, hopefully we're back open. Like I saw music festivals going on up in Darwin. Really? Like, yeah, like this week, last week, I saw an artist, Iggy, post a thing.
It was like wild. So many people, hundreds and hundreds of people. So are they doing social distancing in the other states? So if you're in WA right now, are they still not hugging and kissing and stuff?
That's a good point. Yeah. So shaking hands. Yeah.
Is that back in? If Polina's listening, we know she's from WA. Yeah. What's going on?
Yeah, so you're, so you'd think, I mean, so masks aren't mandatory in somewhere like Sydney. This is what I do know. And you do see people very sort of close. But you're right.
Has the handshake and kiss and the hug, has that, is that coming back? Because I feel in Victoria, it's going to be a little while. Yeah, definitely. Before, I'm talking randoms.
Like, I'll, oh yeah, I'd be happy. You'll kill your parents with the COVID kiss, but just another random. I get it. The, um, we started watching The Last Dance over the weekend.
Yeah. It's great. What do you think? It's phenomenal.
What I love about it, so this is the Michael Jordan documentary. Oh mate, if you don't know, this is Josh. It was a long time ago. Everyone's watched it.
You're the last man on earth to watch this documentary. I'd push back on it. I'd push back on it because I think probably three or four different people in different groups were like, you have qualities of Michael Jordan, which feels so obnoxious. Like, there's something so obnoxious.
It's the same thing when people will compare you to different things. I just don't like any sort of comparison because it feels like you're being a bit of a tryhard. Especially to that fucking loser. No, no, no, no.
But also it's like, it's as if those qualities are the things that, he was also just a really fucking talented basketballer. You know what I mean? Yeah. But what I loved about it was the footage from the 90s.
They had a crew that had unprecedented access to the Chicago Bulls and it's just phenomenal. There's something so cool about watching. This was definitely recorded, filmed in 35mm film. And it's just, and you are seeing the sort of media scrums where they're all got their sort of standard cameras and the wide shots where you're seeing them with all this old tech and all this other shit.
But it looks beautiful and it sounds great. Like the production value is extraordinary. Yeah, I think, do you think Michael paid, or whoever did, was paying somebody to like, let's follow this guy. Let's follow this guy.
So I think, no, sorry, I think it must have been a Chicago Bulls thing. I got the vibe that... Because he was out of there because he left as well. Like he went to, he went to play...
That's true. I reckon, I wouldn't be surprised if he funded it. I wouldn't be surprised if MJ funded it. It was like, mate, get these cameras.
Like the Jonas Brothers documentary I was telling you about. The amount of footage they have of the moments where they really popped. Like, it makes sense these That was hard. I'll just read the first bit.
Def Jam Records, can you please pay my friends and musicians that have made my albums great? This is ridiculous at this point. And so the record label, so he's made the money, like he's the artist at the front that's probably got the check for, you know, $5 million or whatever for the album signing. And then the people who help, the engineers or the subbies and stuff.
The people who put it together. So the people who was instrumental in Jordan's success don't get the money. Like it is a... It happens across the board in any industry.
It's going to happen. And so it's robbery. Like I bet I was just, it's like you jump into the comments, 5,000 comments. Did I end up getting it sorted?
How long ago was this? This was literally last night. Oh, really? That's interesting to follow.
So this is, I mean, I just love getting, just looking at some comments, especially the ones with blue ticks. To anyone hating on this, he has obviously tried to contact them in every way possible. And this is the last straw effort. This is how toxic the major label community is.
Watch and pay attention. Like, yeah, I mean, that is true. But maybe, maybe he hasn't. But yeah, imagine having a record label and that's how someone's communicating to you that there's an issue.
It's over an Instagram post. We hear these types of stories. So like, especially in our business where it's like, we're a production company, you have a client. It's like a production company not paying the cinematographers and editors and all that sort of thing, but getting the money from the client.
And then this is at a point where the contractor's going direct to the client saying, hey, what's the deal? Like, I remember, like I've nearly had to go to that point with, um, when I was, when I was younger. People are shit operators. It's very annoying.
And it makes me, but the good thing is that we went through versions of that stuff where we had middlemen that we're so sensitive now to make sure that contracted, like that's part of the deal. Like if you're a contractor, if you're like, you get paid, like it's, you hear these stories where it's like, sorry, client said a client won't pay, so we can't pay you. It's like, it's a, it's a pretty hard pill to swallow. Yeah.
And the problem is when people use that excuse and it's not true because if they haven't paid, but then that should be communicated upfront, right? It's like, yeah. Who, who's taking on the risk? Like I feel that if you're a, if you're doing the work, uh, like I think that, like, if you're the production company, I feel that you should be taking the risk.
I don't think that I think that you go, uh, you know, far and beyond what you would need to do to make sure that you pay the contractors versus just being like, sorry guys, you get paid for this one. Don't take it on. And if it is and the person can like the contractor could say, well, I'm willing to take the risk too. But like if, if the person is trying to split the risk with the cinematographer or somebody, you know, the contractor, but it's not fair.
Rarely, that rarely happens though, doesn't it? Rarely. And what's the interest of the contractor wanting to take the risk there? They're just wanting to do the job.
And also at what point, if you aren't sure whether you're going to get paid from the client, it's probably a sign that you should avoid them. I mean, I've only had one, one not pay. Others just take time. But I mean, I think that's lucky though, dude.
I just, I've had one where they were like pushing back on stuff. And I was just like, don't bother paying, but don't contact me type of thing. Yeah. Awesome Prime.
It's a daily talk show. Enjoy the rest of your Monday, guys. I'm Cinema. Have a good one.
See you guys.
