It's a daily talk show episode three hundred and eighty nine. What's happening guys? Happy Wednesday. I've been to mechanic already this morning.
What was discovered? And I didn't say it. I could say that I was saving it for the show, but I didn't because I wasn't. But now I remember a fucking nail or a bolt in your tire.
What you knew about this? No, you said to me. So dramatically you said we've been driving in this big noise and then you said that there was a fucking nail in your tire. I was like, there's a bolt.
How did you like a bolt? It doesn't matter what it was. How did you not know to fucking have a check with ties? But were you parked?
Like how often do you hear it? It seems dramatic to go and then roll alongside as I checked it. What did you want me to do? It seems like it seems like I can't believe you didn't realize that before you took it to the place.
Should I have not taken it to the mechanic? Yeah, but I feel like he just calls you as a matter of fact, a nail in your tire. Like it seems like a really sort of bolt. What is a bolt?
A bolt is a bolt is a metal fucking thing. So I don't know what bolt is. Get this bolt and show it. And show me how big it is because you're making it sound like it was seven meters long.
I'm imagining like a what goes at the authorities. What is it? So you got a show. He's our fucking local go-to guy on building.
You should know what it is. I know what a bolt is. It has a nut. And you've given up.
So that's why I was confused. I thought, how did something like a nut? It had to be sharp. And so a bolt is something that needs to be fastened, which is why you have a nut.
And sometimes you have a washer. So the bolt goes through something and then you put the nut and the washer on to it. Anyway, get this Stacy. Do you live up and ship?
Do you live up and ship? Yeah. I was on radio and ship it in. It actually annoys the fuck out of me when people call me out on really good stories.
No, like I repeat things like I remember if I used to be like, Oh, hang on, hang on. He was like, Oh, you in radio because the joke was always talking about radio. Yeah, but the story varies each time. This is the whole thing.
I feel like it annoys the fuck. So I'm picking myself up for criticizing you for telling the story. Someone wrote in and said Kroger. I think it was a very kind review about loves the show.
He doesn't have any other mates talk about it. I mean, most people are just defaming ship. I've got great memories of it. Like this one, Stacy June came to a rescue.
I mean, Ty's flat. I'm going to take the thing. She she had. She's like, I can't take it.
I'm going down. She found a screw in hers, right? And I identified the location. Yeah, this is here.
We took it down. Mate, there was another three screws in her other three times. Someone said, what have you done? She said, Oh, these.
So where she lived, she lived with Tim, my mate, they lived in an apartment together. But the apartment was within a service apartment block. And so they had these ones out the back. And so you can hire the other ones.
It's where I stayed when I first got to ship and I told the story about the ice attics that had kids and it was fucked. Anyway, but love ship. And she said to me, oh, this guy was getting angry last night about me parking in the spot. Because so she knows who it was.
And fantasy was like, you know, she lived there as a resident, but there's all these vacant spots. And so she'd parked in this one because she's always there. And obviously it was allocated to these people. And so anyway, what we worked out was they put, they put screws underneath each tire and she's driven back and forward to go out and they'd popped or they've gone into the tires.
The thing about doing that right is that they leak and it's not like this fucking automatic and gone. It's a slow, slow burn, slow. Maybe it could, I could have upset someone that we don't know that. No, it just happens a lot.
There's like a bunch of grunks that just chuck nails and stuff like it. We were very cautious three day deal. And I, even when we'll get doing the woodwork downstairs, you don't want to put shit down to the street because sometimes if there's nails, grunks going past. Side note, one of our hats, the daily talk show, pieces of merch, is currently in Malta.
Just partying, Sean, I just saw a photo yesterday of Sean at dinner, wearing one of the daily talk show hats. Didn't even tag us in, bro. What the fuck? Really?
I mean, that's got to come through. I think that when people are talking about you and not tagging. Yeah. But if you are watching or listening, tag us up.
Put us to an Instagram story, extra points if you do a boomerang. If we get anyone doing a boomerang of them listening to the show with their head move, I'm going to send them. Because we haven't sent out a bunch of stickers. Why haven't we sent out the stickers?
We've been so busy. We've been so fucking busy. Don't speak for yourself. Quite a two hour lunch break.
You were outrageous. I mean, I wasn't in the office on Monday and all was Mr. I7. So we can't account for the work that you did.
How good was our Monday? It was very productive. Many times I said, how good is this? Didn't I?
We get an office and you've worked from home more than not. What we do, you need to get into a solid head space to just smash out some really complicated stuff that requires a lot of attention. I like a single focus stuff. It's been good.
Yesterday we launched the work we've done with Milkshake, which is Envato's new mobile app. We did videos with them. It was great. I could focus on editing.
When I'm singularly focused on one thing, it's epic. What I don't like is when it's like seven things all need to be delivered at the same time. Open plan work spaces, offices and shit. There is something to be said for your own office.
It's a luxury these days because all the hipsters want to open plan. But isn't it? Is it going back the other way? Yeah.
Well, no, they don't want to open plan. Hipsters hate open plans. Well, I think some of the hip places have been open plan. Well, that was an open plan.
There was a whole movement and then they worked out on it. So the most passive aggressive thing you could do if you worked at an open plan tech company was just bombarding Slack channels with articles about how workplaces don't work effectively in open plan offices. And you'd say the introverted developer who won't even say hello will make eye contact acting like an absolute boss on Slack. You ought to make keyboard warriors.
I mean, at workplaces, you guys haven't worked. I mean, you worked at the equivalent of bunnings or something. Yeah, I worked. I worked retail.
Yeah. Okay. So there is in bigger workplaces, you can go the whole entire time without even fucking knowing or speaking to one person. You know, they're there.
You just don't speak to them. I mean, it's not right to the dream. I try to say hello to a bunch of people. Amy, she got a message from a guy that worked at her old work.
Really? And she no longer worked there. A message I never spoken. Not a cheeky text.
It was a LinkedIn message. Okay. Saying what? Oh, bad.
What do you mean? But what does that mean? My point? It's not specific to what they said.
It's got nothing to do with the story. The story has everything to do with not speaking to someone in your workplace when you work there, but then connecting after the fact. I mean, it's like people within school and all that sort of things like Robru. I, yeah, friend of the show.
Yeah. Don't really remember that much of our interactions, but obviously we've since reconnected. And from our anniversary, actually, I'm just going to say Mr. 97 that clip you put out on Monday, the family tree.
Absolutely. Like you put out the video. Because Bree said, ah, she did say the problem is that all you think about is just them being a bit dirty now. That's the problem.
He took a little slice of what was a big conversation to be found. That is the whole context. Like I don't think because you straightaway went into a PR meltdown when branding expert Linda did just sort of a sort of unsure face. When he says, when he says me up, meld out, he was not next to me.
I just responded to her. I said, there was, hang on. I said, there's more context to that. He took a little part of when we were referring to my anniversary weekend away as a flintus, which Josh just, he said, I thought it was very funny that he called less funny in the snippet to try hard.
No, I just think that it made it out. He made it out potentially bit of boys club, which, you know, I'm not worried about having boys club. You've got the best back and boys club in the business. You're the boys club filter over here, baby.
Well, I said I banned any sort of leathers, although I guess we got the couch, but that was we did a whiteboard session of what we want the office to be. We didn't want to have cigars. Which we don't smell, because my point was everything you were talking about actually is not existing because none of us even do any of that shit. You don't have to smoke too much getting into cigars.
About the weekend fact first. Oh, have you known? It was only, we had six months. So it's quite a first still to maybe a fist for a married couple with a two and a half year old that demands a lot of time.
That just cruises in when you're doing it. Anyway, the point being, the point being is you select. I thought we were a tight gromc squad. Actually, it's a gromc move from someone within the gromc squad.
So I can't really have a go at it, but you really just, what did you think that was the best bit? Yeah, it's pretty funny. I mean, I was like, you were laughing that you loved it. Can you come up with a hashtag?
Yeah, that was what I realized. I was like, I mean, I don't know if I was a gromc and then I realized that I helped him. So absolutely a gromc move. There is something, so Amy got a fine the other week.
And the only reason I know is because she told me that. She told me about it. But she told me about it two weeks after she got it. Well, fine.
So it was a packing fine. So, you know, Melbourne now, so busy, like most places, it's a luxury if you have a car spot to drive to work. We've got three stories here and we got a car spot. So most acceptable fine.
If she got a fine for spitting on someone. I mean, I know that. I know that. I know that.
I mean, the thing is, I think she was apprehensive to tell me about how hard it reacts. How much was it? I was like 80 bucks, but you don't look at a fine, like, how much was it cheap? Oh, that's fucking that's a good fine.
It's still worth the rest of time. It's cheap fines. They're fine. It's like, you know what?
Well, that's half full glass half empty. Whatever way you're looking at it. I got a $550 fine for sitting in traffic and I have my phone in my hand. That's the worst fine you get.
To be clear, you didn't get the fine for sitting in traffic. I like the fine way with that. I was sitting in traffic in my car. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
This is how I want to make it known that I don't fucking drive while holding my phone. I'm texting and shit. It was bumping a bumper parked traffic and I was on my phone. So annoying because I'm a dickhead because I could have just had it plugged into the fucking car play.
Anyway, so I can't. So Amy knows that I've got no lead to stand on because I got a $550 fine, 40 merit points. She got an 80 dollar fine. But she did keep it from me for a short, short time.
And I understand because I can be just really disappointed. You know, I'm not saying, I'm not angry. I'm disappointed. Yeah, sure.
That vibe, that vibe. It's like we left the garage door open on Friday. Yeah, it's also similar vibes to your book, mate. Yeah, sure.
I mean, that's just actual disappointment, to be honest. When Amy and I were sitting at dinner at the FFF, Flinders, you do the rest. I couldn't help. I was eavesdropping.
I was listening to the couple next to us. I heard a few things. I heard that they were. One of the girls said, this is what a baby does to you, referring to how tired she was at 7.50 pm.
That was our booking time booked in. I booked in 6.30. So it would have been 7 pm. Then I overheard them talk about credit cards.
I heard they were talking about finances. It was essentially, the dude was like barefoot. I didn't hear him say barefoot. I heard him say, I and G, moving funds are out.
There's 100% barefoot, right? And so essentially, day nine, but it was a weekend away. It seemed for them. They were married.
But then they got into the conversation of credit card. And she said something like, I've got the credit card with the $4,000 limit or something. And he was like, what? He didn't know she had a credit card.
It's not ideal. So she's been keeping. I mean, it seemed like it didn't blow up. But he was like, what?
What's your limit? It was like, basic questions about a credit card that she had. She obviously kept from him. I don't know if it was like, I mean, it wouldn't have come out there if it was really a secret.
But it was like, I've got a credit card that I'm using. I mean, keeping shit from partners. I'll be so fucking furious if I found out. And he had a side credit card.
She had a side bloke. That would make me more angry. But I think it's probably not a good idea. Because then from a financial point of view as a couple, you don't know where you're staying.
It did seem like they weren't. Well, they had a baby. It's pretty serious. I mean, yeah, they're very serious.
But I think it seemed like they hadn't meshed their finances together. Which is, I mean, when did you mesh your finances together? I was after a Europe trip only three and a half, four years ago. So that's a good 10 years, almost 10 years without.
Yeah, we used to like share it all. I remember I was like, I was like a little bit more OK with credit card debt. In regards, like we'd go on an overseas trip and freeze like freaking out. I'm like, think about it.
It's like a month of our pay. Like we really not going to do the thing because we don't have this money. And then I was like, let's just put it all together and then we worry about it together. Yeah.
Yeah. And so that's how it started. So now I'm in bankrupt and she's going down with me. I think it's a good one thing we did on the weekend was we went through my subscriptions.
Oh, my God. Which I was slightly hyperbolic. I said I had 400 and something dollars that I saved in a night. It was it was actually 280.
But Bree had said since I'd started slowly removing things was over $500 since November. I started getting rid of all my subscriptions. So just to be clear, I was pushing for a video idea and 3D was across this picture. Sticky notes wall.
Josh writing out every one of your subscriptions because your subscription fiend up on the wall. You see this just pleth through of yellow sticky notes with black marker and it's, you know, Netflix stand. I should find that. I've got a spreadsheet where we went through and like, oh, I bought you.
But I get it. As you said that, when you said the dollar amount, I thought, okay, there could be some embarrassment tied up in that. Maybe that's why you push back on my idea because it's not a great thing. It's just for you.
It's not that I didn't actually because I think part of it was it was like half of that was full sack films subscriptions, which were essentially like this is the problem with people who have their own businesses. Right. Where they are meshing, meshing business with. Well, also part of it was it's like, okay, I've got full sack films.
G Suite. And I realized I was paying for Google storage or something. It was like 15 a month. And I'm like, I don't need actually pay that.
And so it was just good. I sat down. I was like, I felt like when I turned into a game, I'm like, how many things can I get rid of? Well, and now I've probably gone too far because now I've gotten rid of Spotify premium.
I got rid of YouTube premium and we know how angry I get when we get one pre-roll. I actually don't think it's a bad idea to strip it back and start it. You're not getting rid of your phone. You're not getting rid of your car refinements.
It's a bit surprising. Straight back and add what you need. It's like pull everything out of your cupboard and put back only what you actually wear. It's a lot less.
It's a lot less than what was in there before. I was thinking about the fridge at home. Okay. I thought you said after you.
Yeah. Yeah. The fridge at home. The fridge at home gets much use other than soda water, Coke zero and some yogurt lasso.
Yeah. We just promised. Yeah. Bacon.
But I think the problem with bacon is that we were being started. I think you suggested buying it from the grocery butcher rather than just in the plastic. Wow. If you buy it and you don't use it for a week, it's going to go off if you bought it from the butcher section.
That's the problem that we have. Yeah. Because the butcher doesn't tell you how long you've got. There's a piece of work you're actually cooking the food you buy though, which is a piece of work.
Yeah. But your subscription. What was the one that you just laughed at? I don't know.
I think it was really funny. The whole thing. I know probably the most annoying one is Pro Tools. Yeah.
I set that up in September last year. I'm like, I'm going to learn Pro Tools. Yeah. And so I put that on my personal one.
But it comes out everywhere. Oh, the gym's annoying. The gym I'm still paying for the gym. But I was like, you know what?
I should start using having the subscription. I'm like, maybe I just try and use it. What's the one that you used the least? That's a good.
And the most expensive. Yeah. Most expensive in the least. Least use would be New York Times.
Why would you throw it through Apple News? No. Just throw it in New York Times directly. How did they deliver your news?
Well, I just didn't want to have to worry about paywalls. But I never go on New York Times website. But it was sort of at a time where I was like, I want to be the guy that just I can pull up New York Times and just read big articles about North Korea. And so that's never really happened.
And the thing was that they'd already offered me a discount. So I was only paying $4 a month. So that was quite inexpensive. But I was just annoying things like frame IO, which we use for business or whatever.
We've got a big media company one, but the full stack one. I actually don't need any of this stuff. I mean, I know the most expensive one that was used the least. Which one?
Masterclass. Yeah. Because I think he would keep a cross when he's actually more cross description. Just about.
Just about. Mr97. I mean, he might not. But it will look like it's coming from California.
He'll download the Masterclass videos, which are on torrent websites. Which is no good. But that's the reality. You're paying for something you never use.
There's plenty of blocks using it for free. But I'll definitely, no good thing. It's good. I sort of wipe the slate clean where it's like I haven't really been super focused.
Like I said at the start of the year I want to save an X amount of money. And then we ended up lowballing how much we paid ourselves. So we could sort of keep it all going well. Where you had pay rises and shit like that.
So we're at a point where it's like, okay, I can actually, we can do a decent job of saving. So we might as well. And so I guess part of it's coming up with goals. The fastest way to make money is to look at where you can save.
Right? It is as much as we joke about the buckets. Yeah. The buckets are very effective.
Yeah, the buckets are effective. But it's about the quickest way. It's like many, the barefoot book is like, if you can't have, if you can't increase your salary, I don't know if it's like this. But you can't increase your salary.
You don't know how to make money. If you can save any money anywhere, that's earning money essentially. Well, I think you can get obsessed with it. Like I, um, that's not saying, kind of, take your coffee out.
Well, I guess part of it is that there's something a bit of poverty that some people are like with money that I find annoying. Like I've always found like thinking about these things too much. Like where it's driving all of your decisions. That's like, I can't do this on the weekend.
Whereas it felt like all the things that I've gotten rid of actually will have zero impact on my life, which is, which is a good thing. And so part of it too is now I want to create friction on like, okay, when do I start a subscription? And what's, what have you got? So what is the, the Josh checklist before you take your 15 minutes to put in your critical information, I'm trying to speak to the person there.
I mean, I'm talking about the GMM shoot. I'm trying to say, isn't it? Fuck. I still got you.
I'm trying to actually think. Like is there, because I think what you're saying, the reason you're going to pack around. Okay. I guess part of it is most of the things I'm paying for is around convenience.
Yeah. Or a trigger point. Like I would have hit the New York Times pay well once. And I was like, okay, well, I'm paying to get in.
And then it just sort of keeps going. It is the reason these businesses make money. Well, the thing is that they haven't gone through, they were like 10 bucks a month. And then they reduced it to four bucks a month.
And they're like, oh, we can offer you four bucks a month again for 12 months. Anyway, it is good. We could, I reckon we could do a whole series on money stuff and get financial experts and shit in specifically around business and finance. Like, I think that's super interesting.
I've got to go. But it's the daily talk show. The new website is live. Clap it in.
Yeah. Hey, guys. A big shout out to 3D Dil and Mr. 97, who are being working very hard on getting all the data in, doing blog posts, all of that stuff, even getting the server ready.
So it looks amazing. Also, at Gronk Blarge at Digital Republic, who has been working tirelessly to get the content management system working. So it's nice and easy and all that stuff. It's epic.
Yeah. It's a daily talk show.com. And leave an Apple podcast review as well, if you are listening on Apple podcasts. And as I mentioned earlier, you can take a screen grab or if you do a boomerang of you listening to the podcast, we will send nothing at this point.
Well, because we've just been a bit busy with the website and stuff, but we'll get there and you will get something at some point. There you go. The promise for you. It's a daily talk show.
See you guys.
