It's a very low barrier to get into the ground spot. That's crazy! We're committed to do the daily talk show for 10 years. Hi guys.
Hi guys. Put it in the calendar. I just like to check the temperature in the room. I told you my squeegee store.
It's out mate. Come on let's go. It's the daily talk show episode 957. What is happening?
What is going on? What's that? What's what? I just heard a noise.
We've made some changes to the studio. Yeah, a couple of little ones. If you're just listening, it won't sound different. It'll always sound like this.
It'll always sound great. Well I feel like it's the ultimate YouTube fuckboy look. Yeah, yeah, yeah. How would you describe it?
Well, it's just using some colourful lights to make it feel fresh. Yep, and we've got them in the background. You have to check out our YouTube channel. Back in the day, I had a...
I think I got it from a birthday lava lamp. Also I got it from my U7 party. One of those globes that you touch in electricity surges and so it looks like it's lightning storm. I spoke about this on today's episode of One Trick Tony.
Every single one of those things. And so the vibe of your room where you'd set it to put your lava lamp on. I used to love setting it when I went out, came home. Don't you think it's weird though that like think about how strict your dad would have been about turning off lights.
He's got a light heating machine in your bedroom. When somebody loses it. Not to mention your... Yeah, what's it called?
Hydroponics. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was running off the next door. I was like fucking running in from the power lines.
No purpose to do that. Yeah, it's still a thing I believe. Very, very hard to patch in from another person's power source other than running a power cord. Well, one thing I saw on Twitter which I thought was interesting, someone's power went out, right, like in the whole neighborhood that had solar power.
Yeah, it goes off too. When they're doing works, if they're turning off the grid, they have to turn your solar power off or it could still be an issue. Really? Because it's going back into the grid.
What about if you're off the grid? Well, yes, if you're off the grid, then it's no problem. I mean, they don't have much say at that point, but there's no one around you at that point. It is.
So there was a guy that had a fake, it wasn't fake, it was a foxtel dish and he had a fake hard and got free foxtel. I had that. What I do love about the world, not so much if you're the business owner, but if people do get crafty and they work something out about what you've been offering and what I think everyone gives credit to is these businesses thinking that they would have thought about everything. You think about your Apple iPhone and then you're like something that annoys you about its functionality.
Instagram, they're being able to only now choose a thumbnail for a video that's 60 seconds or square. Like it's one that isn't I, so you're in television. Yeah. So there was everyone.
You're comparing that to foxtel. I'm comparing that Instagram is a huge, no, I'm not comparing. I'm saying Instagram is such a big business and they haven't, they hadn't fixed simple things at most. And so then it is really complicated.
So the foxtel thing is it was probably really complicated how people were doing this and they're like, when fucking thing of that, it's like a Sony play stations with the chip, like everyone had the chip and you would get the cheaper things. But piracy feels like it's different. Like think about it's easier. The only thing that I.
You don't fuck with pirates. What do you mean? Like you don't gain a white from the UFC. He's, so yo, I think he's the man, you know, he's bald dude.
He looks like a thumb, real big shoulders. You know, it looks like he's definitely on HGH. Yeah, white lifts, just thick. Looks great.
Sorry. Look, sorry. Look distracted. I'm going to tell you finish this story.
Dana White came out and was like, we've been watching you. We know who you are. Oh, really? If you're going to put the UFC main event out on the internet, we'll come after you.
You're done. We'll be watching your house on the day. And if you put it out, we're coming in and he fully went hard. And then there was a massive issue and they couldn't, it was not streaming properly.
But what I did on the straight is that it was all these hackers, but all these people going, you're threatening us. All right, son. And they went hard and it took it down and they were struggling to get it back up. And anyway, it was like, he threatened them.
They threatened with pirates. Didn't that happen? Was it Optus or there was one company I'm trying to think of it was they got the rights to some big thing? Maybe it was Channel 7.
I can't remember. I think it was a tennis a couple of years ago. I remember things weren't like the streaming wasn't working. It was a real issue.
What a nightmare. I mean, for us, it's all working today, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah.
It's hard to distract me out of my story with you. I'm sorry. Well, because the thing is, I know that it's rude because I'm looking down at my laptop. But I just wanted to say good day to Zajid, who sent us an email.
He's from Pakistan. He's a big fan of both of us. And he said he watches us on YouTube daily. He's been doing it since December last year.
Amazing. He said, why don't you do lines on the weekend? Do you want to answer that? Yeah, well, last year.
Did I hit? Did I hit? There was a point where we were doing 12 shows a week. That was two times five days a week.
So you worked out your work days. And then on Saturday Sunday, we did that. But we did that for almost three months without this break. And we actually did it on the day.
There was a period where we, like we would pre-record weekend shows so we didn't lose our partners and families and lives. So we could have some time with them. But a lot of it, like there was a stint where we went hard. And so this year, it's, yeah, we've just sort of refined it mate.
We've got five days a week that we're pushing out. And Zajid says, I'm not a native English speaker, but love to listen to your chat about daily live topics. It provides me opportunity to learn English and update me on the latest topics. Thank you Zajid for your entire time.
Right. Hi, the Daily Talk about our comments email. Yeah. We did that really well.
That's OK. You do the next bit well? Which bit? Our little announcement.
OK, we can talk about it. Sorry. You weren't going to? No, no, we can.
So if you have a look at Tommy's mug, he's got a mug that's got a camcorder on it and says, camcorder club. And I nearly sip the mug. And so if you've been watching on Instagram, you'll notice that there's been a bunch of new videos with the title CC. And so I'd like to officially announce today the 11th of February 2021 camcorder club.
We don't have sound effects anymore. That's fucking good. And sorry. We hear the guys upstairs tap into a host of like you for lunch and see my teeth.
Mate, I'll tell you what, these little things and the stout. So what is the camcorder club, Josh? So the idea is that everyone in the team, there you go. There's the sound.
Everyone in the team has a camcorder and we just film everything. It's happening. And then we quickly put it up on Instagram and soon to be YouTube. And so yeah, it's very fun.
So I think for me, you know, I've always pushed for the, it doesn't matter what you're using, just film and make a video. So there's a lot of wankery, which I mean for playing into it with this sort of YouTube look of the set, which is great. But in terms of filmmaking, there's, you know, a lot of wankery around. You need this gear, you need lasers.
Yeah. Where we've come to is we have a business that offers high end production for clients and brands. And then we put ourselves under a lot of pressure and stress to create the best possible content for our clients. And then we start making stuff.
Well, because you show, like, I feel like if someone asks me to do something, like a friend asked me recently, can you film at my wedding? And I was a guest. Yeah. And the best way to articulate it is, dude, we do something at a standard that invokes us to come in a certain posture that means we get an outcome.
I didn't say like this, but I was like, we, when I'm doing something like I have to go full hog or there's the opposite where it's, there's no pressure and I can just be filming anything and if it works, it does. If it doesn't, it doesn't matter. But you can't do that for clients. And so when you're using high-end equipment, it's like, if I'm going to get this right, it is one belief.
But the other belief is also, well, if you lower all that barrier and you don't have to be so concerned about absolutely everything and you can just come at it with a fun approach using something as cheap as a camcorder, it's going to bring a different vibe to it. Yeah. And the other thing too is like we grew up using camcorders and there is something so the optical zoom is great. So you can zoom in onto things.
But also we wanted something that Jess could use as well. So even if you're not a filmmaker or come from that sort of world, you can pick it up, be creative, film stuff. It's a team sport. Okay.
It's actually easier than a mobile phone. Oh, definitely because like these are 250 bucks and they're really good quality if you're filming in the right way. Like the sound, it's amazing. It's really a noise, maybe because it's like, we have to work hard when we're using cinema cameras to make sure everything's spot up, which you get a different book, of course.
The TV has just posted today the official intro of camcorder club and the idea will be that we'll be doing regular videos as soon as we have an idea, we'll film it, edit it, get it out and then we'll have a YouTube channel where you can go and watch the whole thing, which is great as well. Yeah. I mean yesterday's video was about your bloody books. And then we'll now become a great asset to them.
Yeah. They become a library, which is great. We actually got a few people DMing us about that as well, commenting. They want a book?
Well, no, because at the end of it, you also talked about my maple syrup. And so why he is interested in bringing his own container by way of container so he could pay per liter. Is this fucking like the health food stores that have the honey machines or the peanut butter that you grind and pay per weight, like the source or whatever? Alex said that we could just buy some from Costco, which is true.
You could probably get an absolute bucket load. A bit of fat Friday tomorrow, I'm going to get you something maple syrup inspired. Okay. I know.
I like an idea. It's, can I guess? Absolutely not. Pancakes.
Yeah, that is the go-to for maple syrup. Yeah. But no, what else could, what are three other things you could use maple syrup for? Bacon.
Wings. Sorry, sorry. I'm fried. I was thinking back in the fried like a breakfast with bacon and French toast because it's almost like the savory and then you're adding the sweet into.
So there's one. What else? Cooking, cooking. What would you?
Like some kind of a dessert. Oh, I'm top of ice cream. I've never done that. No, it's not.
Fuck, please. Please, it's a special at our house. Another Vermont fact. Ben and Jerry's started in Vermont.
They have a maple syrup flavor. Good on them. The other thing they don't say, if you ask for a soft serve, they'll laugh you out of a shop anywhere in Vermont. They don't know what soft serve is.
They call them creamy's. Creamy's. Creamy? That doesn't just sound so much better.
Creamy's out. Do you want to go out to the park? We'll get a creamy. Creamy.
Creamy is nice. Anyway, can people get involved in the camcorder club? Yeah, so send us an email, hi at thedailytalks.com, you're interested. Maybe you're a filmmaker who's wanting to go out and do more stuff, record things.
Well, put it this way, if you're a filmmaker who has purchased a camera within the vicinity of $10,000 to $15,000 and you haven't made a personal video in last year, take a look yourself and then buy a camcorder. Yeah. And stop that. You've got to be patient on yourself, son.
And so you had the camcorder mug. We also have a bunch of other pieces of merch. At the moment, we will send a secret link to anyone that emails us for the merch link. So we've got a few things.
We've got a hoodie. Yeah. We have a mug. We have one other t-shirt, stickers.
So we have a few things, but we need to set up a sort of site. So in the meantime, it's very exclusive. If you email us, hi at thedailytalksher.com, we will send you a secret link to a store to go and buy your very own camcorder merch. Love that.
Love that. But what's this space? Watch this space. Yeah, things are happening.
But it's like, what did you film as a kid? Well, I'm a film guy. I'm not a man. I've still got it.
It's actually downstairs. It's a handy cam that's like probably three times the size of this. There was ones that almost fit a full tape in it. Like it did.
Full VHS. Was that it? Yeah. Well, there was the other one where it had the, remember you had the VHS and it was like a tape, it was like a whole, like a micro SD card.
You put the SD card in. It was like a tape deck in a tape. Yeah. And then you put that tape into your VCR.
VHS. VCR. VCR. So we had one of those.
And there was my brother's birthday. There was some random stuff on a farm. But then I had, I mean, I seem quite privileged for my first one. I guess it's like a first digi cam.
Red cinema. Yeah. Yeah. No, no, no, no.
I had this tiny little blue, blue thing. Was it a Kodak? I don't know. It looked like a Tamagotchi.
But it was like blue, see through. And so you could see some internals of it. So it was like just kind of dark inside. Yeah.
So I did digital photos, one megapixel, whatever it was. But then digital video and you could do things like reverse mode. And so I'd get my mate up in the cupboard and jump down and then reverse it like he's jumping up backwards up into the cupboard. Kodak was a big one.
So I had a little Kodak cat. And it was a, I had one that was like blue or whatever. It looked like you put it in the water. But you could, yeah, maybe the same one.
And yeah, they had their own Kodak software where you put them onto the computer. You could edit in it. That must have been the same one. It was very cheap.
The other one was Game Boy. So Game Boy came out with the expansion. So it looked like a game, but the cartridge would go in and it was a little eye. It was a lens.
And you could move it yourself. That would have been like one of the first selfies that I ever got. I mean, can, can Bodie, can Bodie mention Google? Like does Bodie know about Google Home?
It's Siri. Hey, hey, Daddy, can you ask? Can you say play Red Light Green Light on Spotify? So I know this.
I feel like kids are going to do this at a very young age now. They're going to know Siri. They're going to know, like if they know how to tap YouTube, they're going to know how to say voice prompts. Yeah.
Okay. Like you would almost have to turn it off if you're in a household because you'll imagine the punch-ons that when we were kids would have happened with three boys in the house. Oh, you'd walk past and just whisper. Yeah.
And it just shut down your lights and all that sort of thing. Like it would have been a really shoot. Hey, Google, turn down the lights and tell me through it. Yeah.
There'd be so much. Yeah. Wow. It's the hot water.
It's the modern day hot water. Jump in. Turn the hot water. Is it cool?
I feel like the new version of the hot water thing would be being bumped out of your streaming service because there's too many people in the account. I mean, still people using the internet when there's multiple devices online. The phone thing, that was obviously a big one. You could only have one person on the phone and you pick it up and you would hear.
Call waiting back in the day, like knowing that there's a call coming through and not answering. But then the person in the house is like, mate, I know they're calling. Yeah. Jenny just texted me and she's been trying to just spend her 40 cents to let me know the phone's not answering.
So this is equivalent, right? Kids, like me, the kids back in the day using text message. There was no such thing as I message or any of that. You had to press the button.
Say, what is it? One has a B2. You know, blah blah blah. I don't know.
There'd actually be a fun experiment for us to play is to get some knock-years and see who can text the quickest. I could touch type. I didn't have to look at it back in the day. I knew how many times to press it.
Oh, yeah, for sure. Nine is W. So you could have gone into it for his H to like, I knew how to do it. And it was amazing.
So my point is that there was so much time spent in text message for what? Learning how to fucking touch type on text now. Think about the effort put in. So voice, it's like everyone, a lot of people speak.
And so if you just talk, it's so what hopefully it can be channeled into some kind of more beneficial skill over something as silly as just like touch typing. So what's the skill then? So if you had to give Bodey three skills for the future? Oh, it's coding.
So you like take learning how to my mum did a type writing course. There's not a kid doing a type maybe. I mean, I don't I might write in course, Amazon messenger. I think they catch up.
I think that like it's a big thing. I think that we almost missed it in a bad way where it's like, I can type. I can do it quick. Use all your fingers.
Oh, that's good. I can I can you can't you have to look at it. No, no, no, no, but that's not touch typing is using every finger. I don't know.
That's touch type. Yes. So Hey, Siri, what is touch typing? Oh, you got to touch typing is a style of typing.
Although the phrase refers to typing without using the sense of sight to find the keys specifically, a touch typist will know their location on the keyboard through muscle memory. The term is often used to refer a specific form of touch typing that involves placing the eight fingers in a horizontal row along the middle of the keyboard and having them reach for specific other letters. Yes. It's not saying every.
No, no, no, no. That's true. I'm saying. So for instance, if you were doing the typing P on the keyboard, which finger are you using?
I shouldn't take this on. I'd use my middle. So I don't go. So we haven't learned textbook.
You know what my three I would my resting is my middle finger, my ring finger and my index finger resting on the three keys because that's how you played counter strike back in the day. Well, so you're up down. So no, wait, can you use your microphone, please? W a yeah, usually left hand though.
Yeah. And so it was the up down left right up was that was counter strike. And so I spent a lot of time playing counter strike as a kid. And so I would hold my mouse and you'd go forward and back.
But so what's happened is I go to that and I hold my hand at the like I'm about to be ready for a gunfight in counter strike. But so if you have a look at the like there's all diagrams online, I'm saying they say put your foot eight fingers through the center line. And that's that is your home base. And from there it is about.
But you've got I think the touch typing where we don't do it, which would be great is really utilizing all the fingers. How many? Yeah, I don't use my little fingers at all. I use my when I went to the.
All right. So words per minute test here we go. Sorry. George did this the other day typing test.com.
A lot of pressure doing the show. Medium text. All right. So you get one minute.
One minute is a long time to be typing. That's it's the deal for this. It's either one minute, three minutes or ten minutes. Let's go one minute.
Okay. So you grab this. You have to give commentary. Okay.
So he's got the keyboard and let me know when you're starting. Get comfy. I'm comfy. So he's looking at the laptop.
Yeah, I've got an AWD. That's my three fingers. Here we go. Start typing.
And so what do we do here? Right now, as you go, I guess. Hang on. It's right.
So he's typing right now. He gets one minute to do it. I fucked it. It's pretty good.
I should actually get there. And you can't. Oh, I fucked it. This is advantage on you.
This is your laptop. I'm just filming. We'll be on the cam corner. No, this is fucked.
I fucked this completely dude. Keep going. This is your laptop, by the way. Hang on.
No, I've cooked it. I know how he's going to pretend like he cooked it and then he'll beat me. No, no, no. Carlos, I just spelled that wrong because it wasn't the American.
Brown. Mate, you meant it. This is podcast. No, no, no.
Why? Why not go talk? No, it's done. That's fucked.
Sorry, Lord. What'd you get? We're using a MacBook. I got 23.
23. And that's using your MacBook Pro. I reckon it'd be better on my keys upstairs. You could imagine me.
So we'll reveal what GB got as well after this. No, he got really much better. But he's at his desk on his computer doing his thing. So you got a 74% accuracy.
You had eight mistyped words. Yeah. I went back on a bike. Okay.
I'm not going to be that quick just to be clear. Okay. That's right. Hang on.
I was trying to not look at all. Is that the idea? Like I only went back. Okay.
That's a flat keyboard. Very flat dude. There's a guy that complains about keyboards. You know, you can relate to me, baby.
I'm going to film him as well. So he's going. He's often running. He's a little smirk on his face.
He's dumb on his dumb face. That's what happened. It's really, it is hard. It's about the tools.
This is your computer. I'm not using my, my, the keyboard that you've been banned. You know, if you've been banned from using the office, that one, this is great. Maybe not for you listening.
But what's at stake? What do we win? George is the winner. He did it really well the other day.
Surely we're coming to a close. There's a lot of pressure. When you see the words light up into a color and then you realize that was wrong. Okay.
So you got? Will you look at the keys? No. No.
So you're the took a screen grab of yours. Do you remember what you got? Here we go. 70 something percent accuracy.
All right. So you got? That's an accuracy. Yeah.
23 words per minute, which was very low. That's so low. Okay. Ready?
You got more words in the minute. 98% accuracy. Fuck yeah. 49 words per minute.
That's still very slow. Is it? Yeah. And so, um, but it's amazing.
I think George just sent me a text message. George got 69 words per minute. It was a bad day for him. He had 100% accuracy.
That's not bad. And he uses all the correct fingers because he's not a baby. He also did a typo there. I mean, this is a classic like kids in IT.
You know, IT class battling. I know that Radio Mike gets a huge over 120 or something. Huge number. Ali Uptel, the YouTuber does great videos.
He studied medicine in Cambridge. A Cambridge junior doctor. He prides himself. I think he even had a keyboard at some point.
Look, I know I lost, but if you're flexing on your fucking word count. Well, it's, you know what the average type of stuff is? So what did you get? 23.
Yeah. The average is 36. So I'm below average. Yeah.
Look, I've had that my whole time and I seem to do all right. So I'm under fluent, not fast, not pro, just fluent. So anyway, that's, that's funny. But do you know why the Quirky keyboard is set out the way it is?
No, I have heard this before. What is it? Well, do you know, you know, I've heard someone's told me I just told you. So you tell me, I'll forget tomorrow.
How would you do it if you were sitting up. Well, you wouldn't sit at ABCD if you. Why not? It just doesn't make sense.
Why not? It's probably influenced by the Quirty keyboard that it seems to work. I owe you. No, just same words.
No, it was actually to slow typists down. So, so with typewriters, when you're dealing with sort of mechanical elements, you're actually moving parts. And so if you typed too quickly, you would create issues, you'd create jams. And so by doing Quirty, it was a way of slowing the typists down a little bit so that they wouldn't jam the typewriter.
That is interesting. Is it like you thinking that oil needs to be an air fryer? And is it oil compartment? No, no, no, this is true.
Could you imagine me being the guy to buy a typewriter? Yeah, I remember we had one. I think a minute ago. I imagine a spring play Sunday was still around.
Yeah, imagine. It'd be sad to just scan it all in. You still wouldn't have to worry about final time. You still wouldn't use it.
No, I would use it a lot. I mean, like Michael, we can't like getting one of the ones that's actually like... Oh, that's a tronic one. Like semi-automatic.
You want one in the punk, you know, you've got a liner and then... Like it's... I can see it with his hands. Spelling mistakes on a typewriter.
You know how to pass space? Is there a sum button that... What does it do? What does it do?
I'd be very surprised. What a nightmare. Yeah. Well, what do you think it does?
It's something to do with... Like a wide out. No, it's like it's a time machine. It takes you back a second.
I think that you have to deal with it. Anyway, it's a daily talk show. If you enjoy the show, please leave us a review on Apple Podcasts. Also like and subscribe.
We film everything. Make sure you like. We forget to mention that. Like on YouTube and go to Instagram and check out the intro to Camcorda Club.
And then go through and see some of the videos we posted earlier in the week. They're in the highlights. You'll see a little Camcorda logo hit on that. All our Camcorda club videos are there.
And now I'm looking forward to tomorrow because you've got some sort of Michael Syrup. Have a good one, guys. Thank you. Bye.
