Happy Monday everyone 45 it's a daily talk show TJ it's been it feels like we haven't caught up much right now Did you just open up Google to look out what's happening in the news? I'm actually going into our email to see if we've got any email on the hi the daily talk show It's probably this is probably more pre-prod But you'll be happy to know nothing nothing but we do read them out usually at the end of the show We do get an email if you send us an email at hi the daily talk show calm We read it and we we we pride ourselves on having mates on the internet who are you that listen? Mate, it's it's crazy how you can form relationships online. Have you made many friends online?
Well technically our relationship grew from online from being able to communicate to each other. That's true Yeah, so I sent you a message we talked about this a week ago. Yeah, but I sent you a message So I guess it's the initial communication that then grows the relationship. I've met so many people online Well, Matt Diavella, yeah, the fuck you about yourself probably has a listen to these podcast and you fucking like you've just you've done We use other examples too, but no very quickly on that Diavella guy who Directed minimalism the documentary which is on Netflix.
He also made a film called design a documentary called design disruptors and Yeah, Kim and I connected on social media. He came to Melbourne a couple of years ago. We caught up and now I message him He makes YouTube videos a comment. He comments back to mine and then you just start building that you're going to LA I'll probably hit him up.
Absolutely. And yeah, so then from there he suggested Me for a getting a bunch of B role for the minimalists who were the stars of minimalism So I've been in Sydney Melbourne Auckland filming them. Yeah, man. That has happened so many times Simon Taylor who I made the mini documentary on I Wrote for Jay Leno stand up comedian he Melbourne boy, but how how just on the friends thing at what when can you say on my mates?
Because I think when you become friends actual friends you and I and our actual friends We have a lot of we're good mates and then we have a lot of acquaintances Yeah, but then so for example if I was to drop in oh, yeah, one of my good mates You could probably and Amy does it to me as well because she pulls on the data from our Five years you speak about them exactly and so it's like well Well, how do you at what point can you say that someone's your mate? Well, I think it and for everyone it's different because there's people who don't hang out with that many people so when they do hang out with people They're instantly their friends like I've got friends who I wouldn't see that often But they would consider me a really good friend because they just introverts and they don't see that many people and like Okay, and same with me like I I think was working about this before but I used to always call everyone my friend had a 10 second conversation But even I will do it say if I'm traveling for work I'll normally I just I don't like to call people colleagues on my colleague I'm just checking in now and I'm just waiting for my colleague. I'll say I'm just waiting for my mate. Yeah, what would you do?
Mate, I think it's an Aussie thing. Yeah, colleague sounds like it's American. He's just in the lavatory. We're talking about The guys were talking Ryan Nicodemus one of the guys he was saying he's going I'm gonna go to the toilet and then we start talking about toilet bathroom Restroton.
I don't know whether I've sold it to him a little bit wrong, but what I said to him He's like oh, yeah, you guys take toilet. Yeah, that's why that's why I said it like yeah, we do it It's like yeah, why don't you say like bathroom or restroom? And I said if I said like restroom or bathroom people would suddenly say okay, let me see international Maybe a slight exaggeration. It's a massive exaggeration But I think people who the fuck is ever called you international for using the term restaurant I feel like those fuckers who say restroom at the same time to go somewhere for two weeks and get a slight accent or Even better they'll have a wallet and they'll keep their fucking multiple currencies.
I go to pay for something and they'll go Well, sorry, this is a US dollar. Oh, that's that's a you're you should have spun the you should have told him that everyone he uses the term Danny I was just down to the Danny. I told you about that video. I'm made in America.
Yes. I've actually seen it You saw it. Yeah, it actually did quite well. I went around New York City I didn't do it a Danny.
You're a Danny around the dannies. I really need to take a leak Can you tell me where the Danny is and they fucking just could not understand it? It's a bogey term, but I use that term people abuse me in that video in the comments We don't use Danny here fuck off. We are used Danny.
I'm a serious Danny. Hey, I didn't tell you because I haven't seen you since Friday Friday night Last week found a wallet on the ground. Oh, here we go I mean, I were walking head, baby, Bodie and we just got some dinner and I said look over it I'm all that's is that a fucking is that a velcro wall velcro wallet? It's just in 1997.
I thought it I thought it and so I was almost about to walk off and I the Shonde on the street light. It's a delight. I saw it like now. That's not velcro I walked over picked it up brown leather wallet So I would have been nervous about picking it up because I would have felt this is a stolen wallet Someone's taken everything taken all the cash out and chucked it on the ground Do you think that and so my initial thought would be to try and pick it up with something?
I would probably be really annoying and try and use two sticks like a chopstick and try and pick it up It's not a crime scene yet No, because listen to the story is definitely not a crime scene. So I picked it up. I opened it at first thing I did was look for cash how much five bucks good. He was definitely international There's a few fucking notes from overseas right Guatemala or somewhere in South America So what do they use pesos?
I don't know anyway, that's right. So we talked about ourselves We saw it as almost a fun opportunity to put on the fucking Sherlock Holmes hat and work out who this guy was It was a guy. Did you was there any IG? Yeah, so we put out these driver's license.
He was from a place I can't remember it's like down the coast of Victoria and so we looked at his we look at his license There's no this is a name. No, it was like down past your long and so his name. I can't join or something anyway So on no, it was just past your long. I actually mastered 10 or so no weird name.
I didn't know it I had to google it massive in no no weird It's just a suburb out the back of jalon, okay, and there's actually new estates out there. They're selling a Road or no would be 15 minutes to the start So what we did what would you do first wallet say if we can't see a number in there? I look through confinity mobile now. I would find this so fucking quickly.
I'd be on Facebook I'm sure I've done this before Facebook message people we did found a guy it wasn't his full name because it was like John Someone Steven's or something like that and we found I was like Jonathan We found a John J.O.N. Steven perfect and so we messaged him and no response because it's like going to you you know Go into the other folder. Yeah, the father. Yeah, anyway, so we look through there was not much else some credit cards master Card like some weird like receipts from overseas.
You must have been in South America and and He really is mr. International he was mr. International and we're convinced of this person being he'm on Facebook So but then we found a card in there, right and it was like a dress alteration No, it was like fuck that was literally what came to mind what came to mind was like some sort of like dry cleaning No, it wasn't it wasn't that it was like some sort of small business as a card. Yeah, it was fresh Anyway, I am long so short We saw in his profile photo in this on his Facebook was this girl so we clicked on to the girl My name was Lucy we messaged her as well and then I mean he was looking back through the wallet so I'm gonna look one more time for a number and we worked out Was it for Lucy the card was Lucy and the card was it was her business I mean, I mean, you know, so it wasn't it wasn't dress alteration.
It was home decorating Great, and so we called her and we answered wouldn't have entered it went to the message back And so you're doing so many fucking annoying voicemails She texts and so I'm he texted him texted this girl and then she calls back and she'd seen the Facebook message And all just came down we were gonna drop at the cop shop the next day. Yeah, fucking why did she say the message? So what was her what did she say how thankful they literally were about to they were having dinner and cute in your house And they were leaving and he's like oh, she don't have my wallet And then she grabs her phone and sees the message and realizes that he'd lost his fucking while he didn't realize until Post dinner and they'd already paid and so what was there reaction with a super? I was so lovely they came over and we met them at the France and we had a good chat with them today Hug was there any hugging?
No, no, no, that was just super super lovely shake your hand shake I really wanted to ask him and I mean you can't miss me not to not do this. I wanted to quiz him What's your date of birth? Where is it what's it say on your license of where you live? And it was it was too obviously there was like it was so nice about it It turned me dots connected Lucy card on the phone card in the wallet and then I've been I saw it I'm talking properly in the mike.
He's had his mic turned sideways, but I've been there we go. That's fucking annoying That's a better. That's okay. No, I think it's the same.
You just yelled at the first thing Yeah, thank you. So anyway, that was we got it back to them But it was fun this like little investigation refound 20 bucks last week. I know we've done a whole segment on fun cash Yeah, but no, so what she decided was she was gonna break it up into smaller amounts and give it out to people Silly 20 bucks. It's not good.
Where's gonna go? Which is gonna buy her friends coffee and stuff. I think as well She's gonna take like the brother if you don't do it instantly you feel like you're actually digging into your own What you have any thoughts on say when you you sell them sell things I'm sorry just quickly take home from the wallet and we spoke about it with this couple Yeah, put your fucking phone number in your wallet Yeah, because if someone finds it They would probably look through it and if it goes to the cop shop You might not get it back for a few days like they might not have you name on everything like it's probably a good theory Like even like camera gear and all that sort of shit probably help a lot I fucking lost my small HD screen fuck with that have gone Oh, what would have happened? I left a fifteen hundred dollar monitor in the park Do you reckon someone I was so tired from it was baby body like a couple of a month into it and I was fucking I put it down Walked off.
Have you checked like did you ever go to the cop shop? I went I called the cops I called a few different stations Yeah, and I looked on gumtree and looked on Facebook marketplace and then I claimed insurance How easy like I don't quite I've never claimed anything on insurance and I always wonder like what it takes and does it affect? Your ability to get insurance in the future no, so it's the car insurance. Yes, you fucking avoid that like the plague because it it bumps up You know you different your excesses and stuff like that anyway the our insurance which you have it too on your camera gear Yeah, all you have to do is I think it's like a hundred dollars Excess but today then but today up at the next year.
No, they don't they didn't happen at all interesting It was we never use it. I'm sure I've had like shit fuck up But it doesn't cover if something just fucks up. Yeah, host damaged or stolen. Yeah lost damaged or stolen So this is the kill the kicker you can have if your camera just fucks up has a problem They don't count against the wall literally because I don't count my damage.
That is damage I wanted to bring a two. You know, I am a fiend for Oz bargain. Yeah, there's two good deals at the moment There's a bunch of eBay shops in like two days time that are having 20% off and remember you got your cheap lens and shit Yeah, doing that so that was one of them and the second one is the Virgin, you know, we love talking about velocity rewards. Yes, they're doing this opt-in at the moment where if you If you go to their website and your booking flights, they'll give you triple triple velocity points, which means if you fly to fucking US and you get like 4000 points, they'll give you 9,000 points, which is pretty sick website.
I was bargain. Yeah, just pull it back out Yeah, it's like a message board. It's like when the internet just first started and I was like We'd sites of just people chatting. That's basically what it looks like.
It's pretty Can I put something onto Oz bargain? Yeah, and so how's it actually works? So you get voted up It's like a reddit or dig or any of those sites So this has so exclusive tent so the top ones at the moment exclusive $10 free sign up bonus plus 9% cash back on booking Dot-com at the moment on shop back so you can click on that and do that deal Coles half price specials, so they'll put all the specials on there. So so do you see the calls are putting that up?
Oh, no, you can actually have a look so sometimes it will say it's like the staff that are doing it Yeah But in a lot of cases, it's just punters who get into it So they might get the catalog early like maybe they've worked out of way of getting the catalog early Alright because people listen this at random points. Yeah, the bargains that we're talking about that are specific will fucking be gone Yeah, but what's your fuck? This is one that you would really take advantage of in two days. This doesn't even happen in two days Woolworths have the Serena tuna Serena tuna half price at two bucks.
Okay. What's our 185 grams? Yeah, that's not bad I but I've normally before don't think we fucking supermarkets is you end up they just if you go enough which we do they constantly fucking having specials on everything but the thing is that I got a dark chocolate today wasn't on special and you saw me I was like fuck is it I'm once I ate it all you I know I was okay, then what's what's the best deal that you've got from one of these deal sites? I probably know just a 20% off shit It's really good because if you get 20% off something that you actually need Probably the best thing I have was that lens that you got like because that was like it was like a thousand dollar lens Yeah, which would have been nine hundred dollars on the web on eBay and then 20% off that six fifty six Yeah, it's like an amazing.
It's great amazing deal. You basically got it for free crispy creams fucking retargeting me at the moment 20% off double pan we got some feedback crispy cream ever so bullshit from home. Oh, we knew that anyway. Yeah, yeah We knew that Riley Riley from my office.
Okay. Yeah, sure. So just just putting it in there. Thanks.
All right. I mean was a shit one Wasn't we when you were? You know, let me just say this is the you like you on those websites is the fucking polar opposite of the most minimal is it? Yeah, exactly being a man Stuff stuff.
Yeah, it's all shit. Yeah, it's all fucked. Isn't it? Sorry in the tuna.
Maybe maybe not it's like that's food to keep you going And you hate tuna. Yeah, I mean I'm nearly bought a PlayStation. I said that the other day based on this site I think it's very impulsive like these sites make you impulsive because it is like I'm you walk into a store and see sale signs and I get excited and fucking we got to get it and you know She's got some great stuff before that we've needed but there's also like it's on sale for reason sales a fucking bullshit because The minimal to have a funny line about sales. They say, you know what if you buy it?
It's a hundred percent off If you don't buy it if you don't buy it, it's a hundred percent off, which is a fair point, but no, I do Osbargan You know if you can be controlled about it, which you can't know I can't buy that much shit from there But look fucking Swiss cheese wedge 300 grams to 25 the problem is it all feels like it's it pushes towards unhealthy shit But this is fucking good at you as a parent nappies are expensive. Yeah fucking Amazon Australia spend $50 say $15 on selected every day essentials which includes at the moment the thank you baby nappies Try them the thing with nappies is like you get onto the specific brand you like what brand you guys on? Huggies probably okay, and they just you know they're just perfect for my little baby boys bum There was I was talking to someone who worked at thank you and they're talking about how competitive the Nappy market was specifically they told a story about how in South Africa someone was decided I think of South Africa I've told you this story before good story they a nappy business Started they thought they were doing really well Because all of their stock was going away turns out the competitor was buying all of the stock off the shelf as a way of being any competitive because no one could buy the product and so the company increased the Manufacturing and then all of a sudden no one was buying the product and it was because the competitor was buying it all and burning it Not only that horrible this the competitors also Did something else dodgy people walked in one day to their manufacturing thing? Oh you owners of the building and I got a shut down for the paper Paper manufacturing the paper plant that produced the nappies turns out it was the competitors Isn't that crazy the shit that happens people's more if you got money You can that's the dangerous thing about money is like there is power in those things.
Yeah, I'm sorry from cash money What else has been happening? What's using in Tommy land mate? Slips through it. It's leaving a full night.
Uh-huh. He's a little weapon. He's walking buddy's fully walking man Fuck, we saw that on Instagram. Sorry.
She's just like when did that happen. He's the thing is I'm you see this really I Know I like the point. It's like it's like and someone said it to her and it goes like this the thought of there was like There is a moment that was the very last time that your parent picked you up like a baby as inhaled you know like Holy I don't know but there is you wouldn't know the time but there is there would be a time Your parents stop allowing you to open the door when they're taking a dump You know what I mean I should do that I remember I'd be like mom mom can we play play such a mom? We're just like an open door.
She's taking a dump. I've got like the neighbors Just watching mom taking dump. Oh gosh. I'm taking a shit.
Can I not have five? Well, we just want to know if we can play PlayStation or not just like when back you comes over Can you not open the toilet door when I'm taking a shoot the reality is I'm taking a dump and boat He's just just hanging around my feet and standing out there with me just so forget the flashy There's some weird shit you do as a parent. Yeah, they say if I can make it for ages and shit Well, do you remember the last time you saw your parents naked? I mean you probably wouldn't be able to remember the exact moment, but what age would you have been?
Oh would have been like 11 maybe yeah, that's a very long time ago But what time at what point do you stop doing naughty things in front of your kid? Yeah? I'm just like if you've got a small house like who we do yeah, probably two they can start Humping the air. Yeah, they're very my friend told me My friend tell me on the weekend that he's kid Pulls back.
He's full skin and says it's my secret dick Like three it's over I mean at that point they're knowing exactly what's going on. They're gonna fucking know what mommy and daddy are up So no, no, I don't think so I thought like what did I think I? I just think I think that I you probably until I was 11 years old I thought that the way you got some pregnant was you pissed inside them. What age I would have been grade five So I would have been like a ten.
Are you serious? Fire out isn't it crazy? But isn't it I wonder how like that's what's fucking amazing like how do we all learn these things? Yeah, when was someone like how about I try and stick let me try and stick this thing like they would have been fucking their ears And they fucking try to get in the nostril.
You'd say everything like thousands of years exactly I think it's it's instinctual. I think if you put if you did experiment there would be two people that work out very quickly That's true. Oh well 100% if there was no sex ed I think it'd be worked out and there was no TV and media That's a fascinating. Yeah, I we can't do it unless it's a sort of a freestyle situation I've done that test Which requires no cuz it wouldn't be ethical because you basically would say hey We need to treat these people like fucking crazy people here.
How about this? Heard this on the the minimalist we're doing this story Using chimpanzees as examples, right? It was referring to hoarding and what it does to us. I was saying you give a chimp banana, though, either you'll give a chimp Enough bananas for humanies friends.
He'll eat it and you'll share it you give a chimp a Hoard of bananas that would overfeed everyone if I can try to kill them all to protect the horde of bananas Wow point being that with one book I'm fine if I have to me books. I can't read I'm gonna start killing everyone Interesting right like what the abundance by having too much shit. What sort of stuff if you could say if I want to do this experiment Josh Fields Millburn talks about it from the minimalist He says he went through a stage where he was getting through getting rid of one thing every single day for 30 days And he ended up doing more than that. We would just start what would you get rid of?
Name five things who get rid of that time? I can't even think of that maybe do too top two I've just got a bunch of little things in my office that I'm not using all props like what? Oh, they like and bunny ears and you don't know that shit. It's like a Easter bunny picnic thing I mean what do you what do you think I'd do with my books?
Do I just get rid of like no? They're the thing that you like it's it's all status bullshit isn't it cuz saying them some smart cunt cuz I can read But if you like the look of them right you actually don't have much stuff compared to some people Don't tell great that cuz you keep fucking saying we don't have much stuff compared to everyone else We don't need to chuck out stuff. I feel like that's a little bit of an excuse to stop from chucking I think we could chuck it's dude. We live in to bedroom apartments.
Yeah, it is small We have a small house like my mom and dad have stuff. They're not hoarders at all And they're a lot older than us they do but they and they've got a lot of memories from the kids growing up That's a hard thing like you're making memories aren't in your things remember that but I'm literally just going through like the minimal Let's talk right now. You guys if you're planning to go tomorrow in Melbourne You can still go it's at the afternoon, but otherwise just listen to the rest of this podcast. I try and put some truth bombs out there Colin I think you're gonna have to when you go away Most of your shit's gonna go that's what I want to do I think like it but breeze like we don't have to read by a fridge I'm like why I like buying a fridge.
He's the problem with the minimalism thing Why do you have to fucking make it such a thing because it's like diet. It's like all that stuff But they're not like you sit live by ingesting food and it should be quality food that you ingest it's a whole different thing exercise It's not necessary, but it's massively needed to live a longer life Yeah, whereas I feel like the and you're very much in this world at the moment Thinking about it, but I don't even fucking think about that shit. I live and I'm not saying I'm perfect But I'm also saying however however if I was to say I'm perfect now it's Why do I need to think about it so much because if it's not if my life isn't affected at the moment or if you say is it saying that my Life will be better and it's not as great as it could be with all the shit that I do have I think what it's saying is that the way the world is set up we are set up to consume And what is it vertices? What are advertisements do?
They try and sell us that we're not happy until we have this thing that your kids not gonna be happy unless they have the latest Super Soaker or Your house isn't gonna be complete unless it's got this beautiful couch and a lot of people use it as pacifiers So they're like I'm not feeling that complete or I'm working my ass off for this job that I don't like I need to have some sort of Reward, you know the same reason that people say I I Earned this fucking dessert because I had a shit day at work It's the same reason people go online and say you know what the money that I just made I need to buy shit And the problem is it's this perpetual issue that sort of feeds itself because it's like you have a shit job that you don't like So you buy things to try and make yourself feel better So then you need to go back and continue to work to pay off all the things that you buy I think it's an interesting concept and you see how those guys were just on the project and it's the project made a joke of what they do Yeah, which from a content point of view like from the project side It's like yeah sure talk about like why you're selling a book if you're gonna throw it out anyway Like I see all those angles and they were too easy and dumb but also think about it like this what is in the project? The project is a show that's paid for based on advertisements So it takes a real sort of self-awareness and reflection to say hang on like we are not the problem But we feed this beast we get paid to talk and then in return You watch these ads about things that you need to buy like think about how many times someone is sold To every single episode of the project yeah And so constantly of course mainstream media is not gonna be too fucking reflective of it because it's the reflection that they look back Is one that's probably not that appealing I think the majority people don't see and look people like the people in the project that there's danger in this stuff Right, they're not pointing out the danger because I feel like myself It's like I don't fucking have a problem and maybe the people who do have a problem feel and grab and gravitate towards it or people We see it and want to you know like I can live or follow some Was it rhetoric or follow some sort of like mythology that leads to some kind of a life It's super interesting. I think you know where I think about this stuff is my kid Yeah, and as much as I like you know me. What do I buy?
You're very good and I hope that I can and I'll do a lot of people who aren't like that Okay, so maybe I'm just yeah totally down there and the other thing too is Derek Sivers who founded CD Baby, we filmed him the other day in Auckland and he was talking about how crazy is this he'll go out to the park with his kid Hmm, I reckon this would be cool for you to try it's fucking hard with your work schedule But he will spend five hours at a park with he's trying to teach his kid to have a great attention span So he won't bring his phone or anything like these connected the whole time with his kid And he's like, you know what? We're just gonna play I have to play around for five fucking hours He sees people come and go like people coming for these 15 minute birthday leave and they're just slowly and it's like he gets into After a while. He said he gets into the mind of a kid and I have fun. It's cool.
I really like that I think I don't struggle a lot but I think I can get I could I recognize it's not a thing if you actually like was I think all of this leads to consciousness if you're conscious and said it's not just leaving your phone, but it's like I'm gonna see how present I can be and spend what happens if we have five hours But it will fucking crack the shit's probably like I want to go home after three surely. It's a long fucking time I need it do four shits in one three meals. It have two naps Today's Yorkshire everyone, please subscribe to us leave us a little bit about Bode. Oh, yeah, I think I'm I see the danger I see how hard everything's coming at those kids and far in terms of the marketing and toys and pants and they can fucking eat that purchase Yeah, and I think it comes down to that attention span so much to pull their attention so soon as I lose it What's next?
What's next? Well, I think that the thing that Derek Sivex talks about is going down the path that's less traveled and I'm really interested in thinking about that lately which is the things that we think that we should do or things that people are telling us to Do a normally leading to mediocrity. It's actually like To stand out or to do something exceptional sometimes you have to do the things that no one else is doing I'll leave you on that. Yeah, I think with the minimalism thing I think there is a lot people can take from it just to maybe just check their life Are they that person and maybe I've done that's the question.
Maybe I'm not just been conscious and saying am I buying this because I'm just like It's impulse or am I buying this because Josh said on Oz bargain How many tuners did you buy guy tuners or tuna plural tuna tuna tuna you got to go you got a call Yeah, cool. Come through by everyone. There's a talk show that's all show calm.
