The Daily talk show

0:01
is Episode 26. You always look at your watch when we do this, that first thing, and I can't. I don't even have the date right now. What did you do last night? To me, your dog. We went at like you

0:14
went out to dinner,

0:16
Joe. She's the most distracted person on a mobile device. Or like technical tech tech advances in neuroscience. If you just have a mini stroke, I didn't.

0:27
I like the deflection of this outing. You is a tech paste.

0:34
So when you hang out with Josh, he's always on his phone. And it's what I love about you. And it's what I fucking hate about

0:40
not on combs. Now. I bet you a very distracted. Yeah,

0:43
I get that last night where it do that. And I was like, dude, you could just lay off your phone a bit. I was like a needy girlfriend. And what

0:50
did I do? I put my phone. Yeah. Away from me. And I realized he conned me because the only was doing then was looking at these if watch. You're such a fucking open an Apple Watch. You idiot. I don't have I bet you were doing exactly what you're looking at your Facebook. I wasn't looking at Facebook. I was just getting notifications. But the thing is that it works out well for you. Because you just looked at it as as you said. I did. It's just that thing you do. But no, it works out well for you. Because our friendship extends to text messages. And you wouldn't believe how many times I'm having dinner with brain she's like, what the fuck you do? I'm just. I'm just one. But

1:32
are you good? Like a good? Do I feel like you're pretty quick on the text line? Yeah, I

1:36
am. I mean, I like have the shell off points where we do when I

1:40
think there's never been a time where you haven't written back pretty quick. Yeah,

1:44
I reckon on the worst. Lightly responding to people. No, no. just assumed by the devices. Now I get it. I feel like my I was talking to a blog about float tanks. And supposedly this place in rock would be straight, in Collingwood. Which is right near our office in Melbourne. We're still in Sydney by the way we're in a hotel room Yeah. At the Ibis yeah we didn't hear on that yesterday. Yep. Anyway so float tanks I know there's a lot of people been banging on about them but my my mate was saying that it's like you just have this battle with the mind in them so it's like I guess it's like for meditation you all your senses kind of taken away and you're just floating and you're left with your mind and that getting fucking scary Do you feel like those public would you go full full nude I don't know if you can't if you're meant to I

2:41
think he can I think that's the idea of them you gotta have the plugs in my brother got some wicked ear infections from doing it That's fucking in the Dead Sea which is even better that's the real life flight packing tank yeah what's

2:56
the lowest point on earth quite sure of what

3:00
does that even mean lowest

3:02
lowest nah enough it's true it's below sea level that you can get to that

3:09
in water maybe

3:11
look it up I'm not

3:12
fucking you know what will close the loop tomorrow

3:15
but I'm sure there's signs everywhere saying this is the lowest point on earth okay and so this salt content the water is ridiculous I made a video on my YouTube channel youtube.com the lowest point on Earth was when I was eating chocolate the other day that's the whole world you go in the salt yeah and I'm sure this is probably just the same with float tanks your bomb how stings FBI

3:43
or the like if you just got any kind of little cat if you've been wise you Bumble circuit

3:50
smashed if he fucking schnitzel Schwab has over in

3:55
who swamp mama

3:58
females lady they stink leverage on it. Yeah yeah.

4:02
And because of the salt content and like if you've got any cats and your fingers are like you know around your fingernails off hurts. And I've and I did the mistake of trying to be a cool cat and I splashed water into my eye and strive to be a coach that I spinning doing this GoPro thing where because everyone floats right until we floated in a big circle and I was in the middle and I held to go out my fucking like how and you said on around you with other people as like Jose for waiting. So you will use five people that we knew that's fun. And so I spun around had the GoPro so you could see the circle looked awesome. And then I fell into the water in the middle and it just like don't and just splashed up the water into my eyes. It was so painful. But the weirdest thing was when I got out, washed it out. And I was waiting for the bus to take us back up to where you you come where you get how you get there. Okay. It's bizarre. It is the most bizarre thing you need to get on a bus from this like almost looks like an aqua center yeah there's pools and shit and it takes you down to the foreshore which is like it's like just a big like and so we're waiting for the bus to get back up and look out and this is dude with or maybe the woman who was like a burka so it

5:20
was like a woman

5:23
yeah my mission was the men The men were burger no but I

5:28
thought they were the fucking The other thing it was some headpiece and this person was just washing their face with the salt water which would have killed given it was sitting in your little Did you know my eyes and so this dude would have been woman I think we're gonna fight I'm going to investigate that was like a bog down yeah yeah and pros like how

5:51
do you do that how do you stay in Did you was Did you know wait before you went in that things would sting I heard you get stinking okay so you're ready for it yeah yeah but it's it's still a bit uncomfortable and if you didn't know that and winning it would have been a different experience yeah would have been a real shock it probably Mikey's ring. You reckon.

6:15
Now why would my earring it's shocking,

6:18
I'd say I feel like my fucking he might be I've got tinnitus. I think I've got tinnitus. Some things like like if my blood sugar levels or fucking funny I feel like if my bomb was stinging me. years I

6:35
think if you to

6:40
fucking we. I don't know why I thought that maybe we anyway. It doesn't matter. Your weed unit. The Wii this trying to be as it may. Have you ever had him right

6:58
returns diminishing good. Anything you want to talk to me about today? Ah. I'm annoyed about my book. Which book crushing it the Gary. Gary Vee book? Are you serious? Well, I just wanted to bring up the when you

7:14
when you said. Are you serious? Siri thought you were talking to her anyway. No. So I bought I bought crushing it the book. Gary vein of chucks. New Book Yeah, and

7:27
I stuffed it into my bag. I had so much carry on. And then I was really struggling to zip it up. And then when I unzipped my bag after the woods, I saw I turn the page it's

7:38
a hard copy with like a paper sleeve around. Yeah, yeah,

7:41
like one of those dust covers, but there's just something It reminds me of these things that have happened to things that I own. For instance, I remember I had a Bart Simpson t shirt when I was a kid from Maya and somehow I think it got caught on offense and I had a really small tear yeah and mom tried to like sell it and I was just like I couldn't wear it again it was fact where to go buy a new one your your real things kinda guy and rattles you like that rattled you I know you you

8:11
mentioned that when you pull it out I thought would be the last time you bought two copies you bought one for me? Yeah you can just have that one no no bother me back a little ripping it doesn't it doesn't fucking matter

8:23
it does because he knew why he hasn't ain't no one's ever worrying about all the pages

8:33
you

8:34
are you worried about like you don't like a breeze the same way maybe I've gotten it a bit from break she likes new things it's nice to have something looking new for a while but it's a real like they said they just objects that you've purchased it you're being very Matt and Dave Allah we you know he gets one shout out an episode behind that but now that's very sort of that's very mindful know what it's like it's annoying I fact my car the BMW remember how I told you yeah the head with the TV in it. Yeah

9:06
would you do and I reversed and I didn't even I didn't smash into the back of anything but I reversed and it went up like a gutter. The gas It was like a footpath. So we're not fine but we went off the other side it dented the underside of it back so you can actually what sort of BMW was a 33233 330

9:33
ci what would they out ride it cost of being probably when it was brand new yeah I can 60 k yeah and so I reversed up and made peace me off so much and it was the same thing but it was like it because I came out and saw it every time that I went to and no one else would have seen it but I was like looking you have to look right towards like the underneath side and from a certain angle you you'd say it a US have you been much of it we were talking the other day about selling things on eBay

10:04
and you much of a second hand buyer so you can buy it

10:09
it's not really yeah I guess you've gotten a few hand me downs

10:14
dude. Really not by a lot of stuff it's a Soma car sold a few cars

10:23
BMW so I came out to it another time and there's like the lights at the back just between the booth and there was a didn't it looked like someone in thrown a golf ball at the back of my car and the gene was like in a position so you got like the bumper that comes up and then it goes in and then you had like a little bit of metal before the lights and it was in that little bit of metal so I couldn't even work out how it happened to some how it was a wreck and someone threw something at it and dented it so I was so pissed off about that for ages right and I just kept thinking please Can someone crash into the back of me and maybe okay not injured ended ever

11:08
happened oh no I got a phone call fuck off I got a phone call so you weren't even in the car

11:13
no no this is six months later I was down at a cafe and I had my car parked out the front of my personal training studio with the back a little bit out now

11:26
in in the normal car park position like it at the front of anyone's house really and I get this phone call and I missed it and I checked the voicemail and this is the voicemail all good I told me it's many from across the road man I'm so sorry I've just run up the back of your car

11:49
I'm so sorry may look I'll get it repaired look I'm happy to pay for it just when you get back just come over and say me happy to pay for it fucking fucking I got back and he'd run up the back of my car and the insurance replace the whole backside and I think that bit it fixed the bit that Sam ourselves so it isn't it I visualize that I wish I hear back individualized something bit more positive than that for me to happen

12:20
the fixed it with my visualization the visualizations great

12:27
yeah, we could go down the rabbit hole of all the things I've broken but I do like I do like new sure I've got nothing so

12:37
I just had to just face

12:39
a bait I've talked more on this article I've been more fucking

12:44
like

12:46
what's the word like we were on this podcast right now. Like I'm what I'm saying is like a success principles board. Yeah. But like you've talked to me about my bullying and that shit

13:02
but you're not that you're a bit more practically like real shit maybe? No. I think that like I love you know, I love self help books. Listen to them all. But no, I think I

13:15
don't know. I have a bit of cynicism with stuff so do you think Yeah, you do

13:23
it because you fucking out think that what the other person has done. Always writing about the manufacturing

13:29
other talking about thinking and stuff. And the float tanks. I was thinking a few things

13:35
would like getting stuck free would freak you out. I reckon that'd be fucking bad. The whole nude the nude thing if I can. Getting one day. How many of these sorts of establishments have had, like camera scandals and shit like that, right? Like, always thought about that word. It's like, Yeah,

13:59
fuck. Like, you know, there's Netflix series. Can't remember the name of it. But it's a true story. And it's about this guy who had a bit of money. And he bought a hotel like one of those motel things on the side of the road that you say, suck the one on the east. Link like a Best Western, you know more if you're traveling if you're in Melbourne. That's funny joke. Because that was like a it was like a $1.3 million installation. It's not even real. Yeah. And so anyway, he bought a hotel and he set up this like, roof system where he could like, slide around the up in the roof. No one could hear him. But he could look into the bedrooms. And he would watch what's that like, the name of the series voyeurism is called voyeurism. Because it is like you're getting all over other people's experience. Yeah. And so this fucking creepy Cal has bought a hotel and has basically he's gonna go to all tap peep show. If you've got money and you're slightly creepy. It's a fucking dangerous combo, right? What's that? You put me on to this that cereal? I didn't put you on ship. What

15:12
you let me look through the whole

15:16
fucking TV series. Not documentary about that. We'd motherfucker. Fucking the HBO Docker

15:28
What's his name? He show creepy. It's kinda like most a serial. So yeah,

15:34
our newest Robert Durst. But what the fuck is the name he told me about it and I watched it really great and he's a rich dude who ends up just like killing it's a movie he kills people and then covers it up with these money and goes away and he's living in a league absolute fuck out of me if I don't know what that taught it's called if you've got a phone on your reach the end you will yes I very good for input stuff. But it was like

16:03
he was just looking at I am gonna look it up. But what are we gonna rub it just shot

16:09
that he'll come up. I

16:12
one of the best series like exploration criminal crime series True Crime series that I've ever seen. filmmaking is so epic. As far as like, the story development is better than my genius. The Jinx Jay Z. So I

16:31
he's, he's a bit of a name drop that the way that I found out about the Jinx. I was in South by Southwest A few years ago, and I was hanging out with Rainn Wilson, who is Dwight from the office. And I was in his hotel room, and we're just paint like, fucking, you know, when you're looking through a hall from me. I was sliding on a roof. And we just played basketball and pain in the spa, just as you do. And we had to go

17:06
you actually we've been playing pool. I know,

17:11
but I gave it a real hot guy. He fucking whipped me. But anyway, so we're in his hotel room, and he's gone to take a dump and he comes out he his phone in his hand. And he's like, you are polite, like he's like, it's really intense sort of vibe. I straight away thought there must be a terrorist attack or something. It was that like,

17:34
911 moment type of thing. And he said, Robert Durst has just been arrested

17:43
and so I was like side we don't know what's going on and then he's like, Have you not seen the Jinx and they went through and told us the whole thing but interestingly so spoiled tiny tiny spoiler alert Robert just gets arrested the thing is documentary filmmakers released the video first so he was actually arrested after the documentary went to where revealing this crazy fucking evidence

18:12
they it's like the perfect storm yeah got for that it was timing it was just like oh it's so crazy yeah you don't want to spoil it you have to watch it the Jinx yeah

18:24
I really really enjoyed it Sydney I

18:27
thought you're gonna say something about using your fun the Danny you know maybe fact your shooter that I would

18:34
not sign on him I thought he might not and I think everywhere I think that's very good you know he's getting for dump it was it was a the Vasher or when can I think he was guy for like, it's I think it's a sort of a weed time to have a Wang Kismet? What's he? What's Rainn Wilson. Like

18:52
the way that you said it sound like, you know, like,

18:54
I know, I've never watched the American office. I've watched all of the oj office. He's funny.

19:00
Who is funny? Fucking quirky. Yeah,

19:04
he's a very sort of spiritual so the way that I connected with him is my make nice on his friends with him and they're connected through the whole behind community which I mentioned you get you butchered the explanation is pretty fast and accurate. But No really, really nice guy. He created a YouTube channels media company called Soul Pancake, which he sold like a year and a half ago or something. Were you impressed by medium? Because he's quite famous as far as Yeah, I mean it being in Austin, Texas. He got like we went to premiere if he's one of these films with him. He felt like a little bit of a rock star I felt like entourage massive entourage there is something like it's literally we went to his hotel because he didn't he was just like if I go fucking outside I'll just get like sounded really so it's a pretty nice don't even that Rockstar it No. It's just like Dwight from the office. But the thing is, he's got a

20:09
really strong following an interesting thing about what kept to the office alive. The US office the US office was fucking doomed, right? Yeah, nearly got the flick from like the early season. And what happened was a little known company called Apple released the iPod video and they decided to with every single new iPod they put on the office the Christmas edition I think it was it was as like a video that people could watch on the iPad video if they bought it around Christmas time. So imagine all these rich kids and shit buying iPod videos they all were exposed to this content and so that was actually the turning point and they got really

20:56
on for a bunch more yeah you know YouTube did that

21:00
yeah well you two did it. Yeah I mean that was a big cluster fact because they downloaded it basically on to everyone's phone I want you to on my thing is like what the fuck it's like I've got Um, I don't really use iTunes obviously I'm using things like Spotify and the annoying thing is my fucking USB on my car defaults to when you plug it in. Its a fault supplying the iTunes lately yeah lettuce tomato. So it's just the same like the song acapella doo doo doo doo you know that I don't know anyway it's this song acapella by who we know that some me if I can find it actually wasn't like it's copyrighted. But anyway, the

21:49
it comes on every time and it's always at the most like annoying time that applies. So anyway,

21:55
there's something like being around famous people is like, there is a bit of excitement and i don't i don't think i have the level of like fan girl and boy style which just totally rips people apart. But like having been around like meeting famous people, definitely there's fucking some energy they've created around them. Yeah, there's

22:17
different definitely different levels of that type of thing. And yeah, you definitely you notice that they're all also heightened right when thinking about things that you wouldn't be thinking about thinking about what other people are thinking constantly and not I know that sounds silly but because everyone does that. But they thinking like it probably comes into like, Oh my god, these are people gonna know who I am. And they get it I guess you just oh, I guess the non fat cat thing to do is just a shame that no one knows you. Yeah. Which is almost like a its own arrogant play. It's like Tom Cruise man like Hi, I'm Tom. Fuck off yet again. Can we know you?

23:01
You can never win here. You can't really find us and you can't wait. Well, that's why it's also I recognize that I reckon. Not that many people when from being famous. Like I think it's fucking hard of entities.

23:15
Like I guess it gives you a little bit of value, right? Like you get free shit.

23:20
So I didn't tell you this before

23:24
Charlie and James who are probably listening to this podcast. Hi guys. The big fans

23:30
they Charlie for the review. We got a review on it. Yeah, yeah, thank you for that. So this

23:35
is my best mate. And these brother and that being so hard because they they think you're like an old Macaulay Culkin but the young version so like you're like Macaulay Culkin from home alone? I was like I was probably like that but probably Macaulay Culkin like fat cousin likes you will be you

23:58
know this is a big I can't remember home alone. I'm alone. But if if I was a kid and it was made my version of home alone, it would be literally made the pantry I found they found dead

24:15
and I'm alone. This is same with a where he gets like 70 scoops of ice. Oh, really? That's the thing already said I'm packing. Yeah, you know

24:22
you that's the thing that surprised me so much about you is you're not a movie guy. I just

24:27
don't retain shit. So I mean, the amazing thing is I can watch movies over and over again. I saw the holiday four times at the cinemas during the holidays. It's a fucking great film. It's a jack black one. It's the one where they don't know the other actors name may be Hugh Grant

24:45
a British guy anyway he's and there's a British woman and this Cameron Diaz yeah it's fucking great and jack Black plays like a fucking composer that's the fucking every like when I'm trying to chill at home I play the holiday soundtrack okay I don't

25:03
watch is I struggled to watch movies twice it's like I just I know

25:09
you know what's gonna happen but you know my view on shit like I don't have that much patience for Fiction like fake shit and then like nonfiction preferably you like short form that it's like YouTube on TV now is so perfect for

25:26
short spans like you I mean like YouTube because it's real and you can get lots of little stuff constantly

25:34
but no my favorite stuff he's like I would love if Louis Theroux was fuckin pumping out a taco awake I'd be watching was you know

25:46
I guess like shit takes time sheet he would have been a good one to try and get on the podcast yeah but we were you trying to get safe guys saw

25:54
I saw him like live I went to the end he said it was pretty underwhelming Yeah, I wouldn't have said that on the podcast. I guess it's fine. Yeah. But

26:02
you said that everything he was saying is kind of what you've already heard. But you're like a mass consumer. So if you're a fan somebody it's like they've only got 10 tricks and you've seen all those 10 tricks yeah constantly well I

26:14
will consume all the I'll do a big YouTube search and just watch all of this shit What do you think about consuming versus creating How does it sit with you You're in a consuming patent man yeah is it based on like what of eight into that

26:31
no I well

26:32
the show was the thinking is I think you know it works if you're not if you're not a creator yeah consuming versus creating it's like I think the biggest thing for creators is that you get stuck in these fucking rats of not creating

26:50
because i think i think this is cyclical the word for cycle I don't know I've never This is something that's embarrassing I know that you always say that I'm a good writer and staff and I'd like to think I am fucking adjectives and all that shit I haven't really invested my time into really like being able to on the

27:10
phone at night cyclical guy for it? Yeah.

27:13
So I think it's cyclical, so good. Yeah. And so what I mean by that is, I think that these things happen in cycles, which is cyclical

27:25
and and when i know i think that you go through stages of mass consumption and then creation and I think that

27:37
some people never get off the consumption route maybe to use an analogy you will be very familiar with, maybe it is like calories and it is about in and out and sometimes you can be consuming too much and not putting enough out and then you have a an issue where you become a fat cat

28:01
or what's the outcome if you're consuming too much content

28:04
it can shoot me too much content like you said effect can well yes. And the mental version would be what if you're not creating enough you become a fucking consumer Yeah, and like that, versus using consuming as a way of

28:21
well I think you become it's almost

28:25
if you're I created this probably doesn't apply to you. I don't think it like your dream is not to be a video person or wired this way guys, but I'm saying fact of us what I say

28:37
doesn't

28:38
trigger you fuckin annoyed me then. Because you try it you just that was annoying because I was about to say something and he interrupted and said some smart ass thing. And now on a rant This feels pretty good now what is this it doesn't matter about not doing oh okay but the matrix it's like you kind of plugged in and you just everything's coming at you consuming that consuming that get home watch simple Hey mentioning the magic tricks again though. Yeah. Are you fucking got no idea of the mightiest the most disappointing thing captain's disappointed in you, James and Charlie. You are from an era where the matrix was huge and you never watched it now and so the concept was so crazy then because it's like we are all basically in a VR world or like you

29:25
cannot see line let's hear how well tell me does of explaining to me the plot and I had is perfectly guys you know, Elon Musk says that we could be simulation simulation. Yeah,

29:37
the matrix is a simulation. So there is a world outside the simulation that is Earth. So but it's like gone further in the future. And it's falling apart. And robots have taken over. And so it's basically like artificial intelligence. These robots have plugged in all these humans in these pods. And their minds are in this artificial world. fucking scary. It's like,

30:03
I get scary. I get this weird feeling. Just now

30:08
what I've thought about Elon Musk and watching the matrix and thinking about this a lot. It's like there's a fucking the robots have this alarm that goes off when there's people in the world. They're getting pretty close talking about this shit, right? Like you and I know what I'm saying. Imagine it's like down do new or we got to we got a couple of idiots in the abyss. Talk the Ibis talking about if

30:32
when you say busy joking. Yes. Is it called the Abyss? Like awakening? Wrong? It's I'd be Ibis, okay? Anyway, thanks for jumping in fucking now. That's fine. I am but it's. It is scary, dude. When you fucking start looking at the world in this way. could ruin you. It could ruin you. People are fucking weird, too. That's nothing. All right, guys. It's a daily talk show live from Sydney that's recorded and then given to you in this podcast. Hey, but thank you for consuming Yeah,

31:06
we have this podcast just

31:07
fine. And I don't think that your effect can just because you listen to our show all that you're in the matrix. But if

31:13
you want to create and you're feeling a bit like fucking yuck. Because you're not creating like, I'm not scared. I

31:19
guess what? I know what you gonna say. You're gonna fucking steal a Gary Vee line. Not any. Like, you know what? I don't think you should listen to us anymore. No

31:29
fact that I want you to keep listening. Subscribe. The Daily talk show.com. Hey YouTube channels. Tommy jacket. Josh Johnson thanks for that. Hey

31:37
o box 400. Abbotsford Sharia 3067 yet to get anything even though we haven't

31:44
been in Melbourne for a couple of days. Yeah,

31:45
I've I'll get breed to check. always going to say

31:50
just start a podcast for me. And doing this every day. Even though some days don't feel that great. It makes you feel a bit more side. Yeah, I think that's what creating over consuming can do. It's a bit cathartic. Ying and Yang Yeah. And so Yang Yin, do some and get out, make a video, take a photo, I don't know, just get creative. If it is kind of cool works for me might not work for you. Just very quickly before we go, Yeah, he's posting on Instagram is doing that stuff. Is that a distraction?
