0:07
Cross face

0:11
conversation sometimes worth recording with Josh Johnson and Tommy jacket. It's the daily Talk Show Episode 168. Good morning. Good afternoon. Good evening and good now I

0:26
know we are we are you are. You might be

0:30
taking the kids to school there might be on the way home, you might be on the Monash freeway this this maybe this bumper to bumper traffic,

0:39
it may be 2050 and you're currently on the brand new rail link in Victoria. It's taken a long time to build and there's now flying cars but you're underground listening to our podcast that you think Hillary underground oh there's going to be a lot that these underground so there's all the new rail system diagram but then there's I actually just show a saw there's a page on Facebook and it's it's called Rovio sheets during or something like that. So it's like the suburbs yeah the suburb of Rovio where your parents live

1:17
and they just like put up funny memes about Rovio like it's it's it's almost like they from the people who are in the page of from Rovio and they posting all the funny memes about Rovio and shoot but one of them I just saw today was they posted a video that the Victorian Government put out about this new rail link and it's basically if you're not from Victoria they probably weren't weren't interested at all but basically they're connecting up all of the different routes that go out around Victoria which is pretty big because that means you can leave in you know one side of victory one side of the of Melbourne and a try and rather than into the city and then out you can catch it across so these pretty cool but it's going to take a long time but Rovio has been left out and so now like what the fact that you've left this app you dogs

2:15
but how did you even get to liking the romaine lettuce but I'm glad you asked because this is when be Mac it's another shout out shout out to you right there was a

2:29
there the he said he was interested in going to an event called bombing sees at Rovio

2:41
but there was like 500 people going to this event yeah here we go bombing ciggies at Rovio Mac is its current it's on this Saturday at 2:30pm and

2:51
shades McCarthy it turns out he's going

2:55
if we have a few listeners in Roseville so maybe if you're listening it's not too late light 200 just give us those details again Tell me yet so

3:02
2:30pm on

3:06
the eighth of September yeah and it's at the rival Mac is so if you want to go to the event bombing sees at Rovio Mac is do you actually know what bombing ciggies means yeah I do but do you

3:22
Is it just putting sick using your phone

3:26
it's got nothing to do with your arsenal

3:31
it's like hey you know you know

3:33
how you walking paths you got to see Hebrew like someone trying to Obama senior it's I don't know where the term bombing actually

3:42
harmless like they're above true true

3:44
and then that's probably that will be gone that far is

3:48
gonna be like 100 people or trying to bump ciggies off the general public. Is that the idea? Yeah, so though Yeah, there'll be currently 144 going 500 70 interested so they could be

4:03
there's gonna be a lot lot of bombing in red rally.

4:08
Well, nary Warren very close to where I grew up was the area in which there was the big party by Corey Worthington. You remember that? Yeah.

4:23
I'll just I'll summarize for our international audience. This kid who was whose parents had gone away for the weekend. He created a party invitation on Facebook or MySpace, MySpace, okay, so that's Yes, that's full also on MySpace and hundreds and hundreds of people replied and rocked up to his house and they got shot down there was brawls but then fast forward like a he is he was on Big Brother

4:52
Australia. Celebrity Big Brother. I remember that. I sort of was he Yeah, he was dude

5:01
he's am a fully turned celeb,

5:05
but I am I think it actually did go international in summer Gods because there was a T shirt company that I used to buy t shirts from all the time called Busted Tees. I think it was

5:20
the parent company was like the College Humor company. I like that would do sort of slogan tease I had all these different ones. I had one that had a picture of a sandwich and it said Sylph sandwich I'd like to fuck yet I had one that said without me it's just also which looks better when you read it okay if you add the me It says awesome. But anyway I had AP them and he they were they had one that really wants to buy but never did because I always had to buy hate once because I was a kid and couldn't afford paying for shipping multiple times but

5:59
it said had sunglasses and said I want take off my sunglasses which was to remember that line

6:09
not what was it What's it from

6:12
from a current affair? He did a

6:16
charm ah yeah

6:17
I love McKinnon. Yes he interviewed him and she said why don't you take off your sunglasses so don't want it

6:26
and so that was it's almost that's probably the reason that interview we did a post the party for anyone just typing Corey worthy Cory Cory Worthington into YouTube and he just looked like it looked like you and I Josh when we were young like that bleached blonde hair Yeah. And just like he was wearing some sort of singlet yeah he just looked like a piece of work and our framed Sonny's yeah yeah it was yeah he was a he was he was the poster boy for it. Sunglasses. That's a branding if you know that. The kind of people that all those back in the day of other ones today even do the ones with the grill the girly things? I don't know who did that is because too many fake brands came out and just release those. Those sunglasses that pretty much don't block the light. They've just got fucking drain. right over your eyes. Exact. Um.

7:28
It's actually on sunglasses. closing the loop for people who don't follow us on Instagram. Bree bought new Sonny's after having hers lost or stolen in Turkey. Well, having them last and having them stolen has been she left him in the back and change room says it was a boo boo changer. And the thing was, she left him in the in the toilet like room. It wasn't like a changer. But the thing is that better a female she was like I can these clothes that require her to unzip and basically get naked. Just to go to the toilet. It's like, what's the colder? I can? It's not one z jumpsuits. Yeah. most unpredictable

8:14
basic clothing. A woman goodbye our instead of the girl that will like this thing that basically you pull down. And it's like, you know, bikinis, you know, once he became knees. Yeah, it's like,

8:27
but she may just like one piece.

8:30
Yeah, sorry. One one. The one place where Kenny. But basically, we make the other thing the ones that you became.

8:38
It was just this stupid.

8:40
It always was like my Bodie has baby clothes that you have to just where he's not Tang you have to put the buttons together there and so I just remember this girl that I was dating have had this thing that you had to do that so write down where your crutches you had to do the buttons up to keep them the thing together I was like that's just too much work that's

9:04
too much work hang on how do they normally do it one piece I guess you just sort of like flip it all you have to hashtag lift lift up the light wear wear a bikini bikini it's probably a bit different in getting became easy easy became you just undies and abroad but what about a one piece another getting?

9:27
Don't know Matt? It's

9:28
just a secret women chat.

9:32
Hey, I'm on the clothes on. The closest thing I've been

9:36
kind of thought about. You know the struggle humans have probably men when it comes to washing and losing socks. Do you do lose? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Most people lose their socks. It is next level when you have a child the sharks are the size of your pinky and Bodie has shown many lost socks now I was just putting them back together the other day that just all dried out as that man he's half of his socks are missing. They get eaten up and put into like sheets. And and I just thought it's bad. When you're a kid. It's bad. When you're an adult. What's the other side what sort of psychopath will wash baby socks with sheets that's the

10:24
should do that.

10:28
Right? When you just holding on asking for trouble.

10:30
I know. But when you're not thinking straight you're holding on as a parent trying to try to keep the kid alive. It's the last year thought processes I'm

10:38
sure it's like an Im sure creates an actual vortex if you do that. Like I'm sure that Yes. I'm surprised you even had a sheet in the end. I feel like that that those ingredients. It wouldn't be surprised if you've rocked up and get ways where's the washing machine. You've you've unlocked some sort of sacred washing machine

11:00
God but I had all these little clothes sort of put out and I was putting them all into the piles and getting them ready to put back into his room. And I didn't have a thought around and minimalism and being a parent I thought the two

11:20
they don't go in my mind it is I feel like if you will, because I've tried to I haven't really talked to you about it. But I've just like trying trying to just buy a whole bunch of T shirts that are the same so don't have to think about what I'm doing you know like basically what you're doing

11:37
by but I was already brand yeah I was thinking a bit of a rebrand but I'm I don't have the cash to drop on a whole rebrand at once. I would love to do it all at once. initiative.

11:49
It has to be and when you're dropping 400 bucks a week at a pocket on daycare, you know, automate your priorities. But I was thinking just with by stuff it like the feeling when you were transitioning into trying to be a minimalist in that respect. If you live it, you start like another know, if you felt this precise. You feel like you've got all this stuff. And he and it annoys you a bit. And you want to get rid of it all off. And it's like, you look in your wardrobe. And you're like fact, I've got to sort this shit out anyway, but I was looking at Bodhi stuff. And it was just making me I had to shift my thinking. Because like this will give me anxiety with the amount of clothes he has. Because you don't have an option. You can't just treat the kid like oh, we'll just having five t shirts and five pairs of shorts as a dude, he'll shoot himself vomit like you need. You need more. It's it's a numbers game. It's the most it's the least minimal thing you could ever do. It is every kid I wonder if there is someone is. I wonder if there is

12:55
an adult that is treating the child the same way they do with their if they are a minimalist?

13:03
Well Derek Silver's, who founded CD Baby, super interesting, dude, he I love that you saw that Eric is Eric. And if we could search this podcast, you've said that line 40 times. And I still don't know what CD Baby is. Because, say days of that old and I'm thinking What is he talking about? But we'll get to it another day. What? No, no, I'll quickly explain what say day baby was, I wish I'm sure I've done as well. But I still didn't understand it.

13:32
Literally, what it is, is it was a way for bands and still leads to get CDs published really, like independently, simply. So what that means is, in this day and age, when you as an artist, create music, you can go to say baby, and they'll publish it, which means it can be available on Spotify on iTunes on Amazon. And they, you know, give you pass on that the the money that it makes. But basically it ticks all the boxes for all those different services so you can publish it. So it's almost like a symbol cast it distributes. But man

14:12
with the more emphasis on making money.

14:15
Yeah, exactly. And, and especially because with music that you need to have like a like a fucking bar code number or, or some sort of number to be able to

14:27
access the services which the general public just wouldn't be able to get until say baby came along. But yet he also he created a TED talk that was called I think it was like how to start a movement where he deconstructs this situation, I think was like a university or something where one person started dancing. And by the end of it, everyone was dancing. And he deconstructs every element of how that movement started. But yet, he is from the US lives in New Zealand now, and he was a guest on the at the minimalists event that I was filming in Auckland at the start of the year. Yeah, and he was talking specifically about having a kid and one of the interesting things he talked about was

15:20
the fact that at the beginning he didn't

15:24
give his kid many choice just gave him one toy to play with

15:30
and then they went to a cafe and the kid had access to like a toy box and all of a sudden saw he felt really guilty as a parent because he saw his kid having so much fun and being creative and grabbing all the different toys so I think he came to the conclusion that you know being a parent you can't necessarily apply all of this minimalism to the kid and that they also like part of creativity is joining things to get putting a truck on a house and driving and stuff like that yeah yeah

16:08
yeah yeah but he definitely does do that he he's I think he doesn't have as many toys is some other kids but he's definitely got quite a few and he loves the variety they just their attention span is so short so they are focused on something for a tiny bit of time moving on to the next then he you know he got bubbles out and then he's riding his little lady bug thing and you know he's burning around that lady bug them yeah it's amazing it's just like this big bag with wheels and he's just in our homes around the house on it and he loves it but it's it's yeah it's so good to see them evolving better than think about he's a minimalist

16:51
he doesn't give a shit there actually is there is a book called minimalist parenting which is found on Google they even have podcast meant these a book podcast and YouTube channel for everything nowadays

17:08
100% I mean look we the start of this is a there's an event for burning CDs at rival maca so if that's not groundbreaking

17:18
what is the

17:21
I feel like yeah there's the old different levels right and some people will focus on the internet providing us with bombing ciggies at Bravo but it's this this a lot of good shit out there too I guess there

17:38
is I want to get someone I don't know who yet we'll find the guests that we can get on that isn't a celebrity always like hasn't leverage the success of their Facebook page for their own personal brand but has a Facebook page or like a membership page that has gone absolutely gangbusters like for instance there's like a by swapping sale Victoria and they have them in all different states but these things have like hundred thousand people on them and you still see like little elements of control or like power come into play but I'd be interested to have someone on like I got contacted this week by a guy who runs a page Hang on a second Mason what was that what was that page that that guy emailed me about

18:34
is doing a break

18:36
break our our TTS was our

18:41
It was our ring is from the top end here we go this is from what does that even mean. Exactly? So the student messaged me he's like hey man I love the video of you going to the outback I I own a page called our f t t ring is from the top end you should post it on there and so I clicked on to another oh yeah this guy's probably pulling my leg whether you know it could be just small i thought you know I jumped on 51,000 followers and which I mean is quite big was he asking he was just saying you should share it on my page and so I jumped on and ring is from the top and I'll tell you what I'll tell you about the page

19:32
it's Hang on a second discussion

19:37
so it's a group it's the description ring is from the top end

19:44
is the online campfire for the kettle station community this group is not limited to just ring his ring it is a term for those on horseback who round up cattle basically a ringer is the Australian name for a cowboy slash girl so that's interesting but a group for anyone who has worked or is working in day wants to know more about the life on a Cattle Station so it's it's such a word of the day I'm wrapped that you've managed to you and now what are the time Ring Ring app it's a good one ring is yes that's the cow I mean I like the term cowboy

20:22
yeah like that but then I kind of went on to his profile because this was through LinkedIn which is you know very business heavy

20:31
and I looked at who he was and he's like this dude with a marketing degree is his name silence just hey look like a ringer not have normally Braehead on No not at all. I mean he might have grown up there he said he's a digital and marketing producer I worked with the crew at on market having built investing website and app for an Australian VISTA law by the prime minister in 2015.

21:04
Oh you put your Outback and video up on LinkedIn Do you think he saw that yes so that's how it is yeah he showed the outback video I made which kind of went bananas on when did really well for for LinkedIn but yeah my fascination is with these people who build out these like random pages like there is there's a page on Instagram my brother tagged me in a video and I couldn't see it because I wasn't actually a part of that page and then I click on Instagram so it must be like a private private Instagram yeah I know some private Instagram account with 1.4 million followers and it's called kids getting hurt

21:52
and I I requested they haven't they haven't accepted me yet the dogs but maybe the Federal Police are coming after the kids getting hurt could be fucking he go haha funny like when my mom submitted a video to Funniest Home Video of my brother falling over. This was in the 90s and they said that it was to crawl like it was to really look like he got hurt.

22:20
How bad would you feel if you submitted something to Funniest Home Videos and they said it's not funny kid just got her

22:27
I had moral fact. David but I this kids getting hurt has a has a merchandise website. They've got t shirts. And one of them is I've created a monster t shirt for babies. And then I've got like little one piece suits for little babies. Be nice to your kids.

22:48
I saw the most interesting parenting technique. Yesterday at breakfast. There was this kid being quiet. Pharaoh anyway, was sort of like so running around. And he was getting the menu and he was sort of picking up anything is and putting it in these parents face. He's just sort of like doing all this sort of stuff. Right? He was being a child. Yeah, it's being a kid. But this is quite flawed. It was just like saying like a bit of a mood shift because I hadn't noticed him before. Anyway,

23:21
I then saw the mum get up and she started walking off but then decided not to. And then she sat back down, right. Anyway, he the kid continues being a bit feral. And then the dad gets up the kids in the dad's face. I've been real full on the dead, just stands up, walks out the restaurant. And I watched the dad from outside Isa standing outside the restaurant not doing it just sort of walking or sort of pacing around, looking around looking really calm. The kid sits back in EC style that's like EDS food being really relaxed. And the dad just comes back walks in and six back down at the table. Like nothing had happened. Jesus the Have you heard of this? No, I just. It's either. He beats him when that's, that's the size of your birthday

24:18
prime.

24:19
Maybe he's the page manager for kids getting

24:27
he's going. He steam comes out of his ears. When he goes outside. And the kid knows I'm gonna start eating. Now. That's maybe what it was. Maybe the kid heights, his dad and he's like nap. But here's the thing they do put on shows like what Bodie does for us and what he does, like, I get to daycare and I spy on him before I go in, grab him. And the kid is a weed Unit One minute, like, he's, he's just hanging he's just sitting around the circle just watching. You know, the daycare worker is I that he would never do that to us. He's in a grill running around like they do play up when the parents around so maybe it was a tactic of leave the situation and he will say

25:10
because he always is just chill. Normally easy bodies' just slightly so how do you did does that mean them that you're triggering him in some way to be a bit more feral them body might generally be oh I think he's I mean I don't think we do we trigger him too much. I think he just loves give him red car deal.

25:31
Now we definitely do that but there's a difference when mom and dad around i don't know i think it's pretty common that kids play up for their parents and then they behave especially like nappy changes you check like he goes soccer and then I watched him get his nephew change there and he's just chillin you absolute feral

25:56
so you would have felt a little bit better feed start throwing shit at the daycare worker yeah

26:01
many he did. He's already won the shuttle over over one of the dudes so he's still he's Pharaoh but he's the bed yeah

26:11
you just caught him on a good day yeah

26:16
no but I think it's interesting I think that the because I was ready for a blow up I was ready for the parents is to lose the shade and I guess maybe part of it is to your point about I did think you know maybe the kid just wants attention and the maybe it's too much stimulus having two people and getting sort of overwhelmed and trying to get their attention this is you know one going away him being able to settle down and resetting sometimes

26:47
for Bertie if we look at him he loses it but if you don't look at it really he's cam it's bizarre especially ignore him well i think it's like yeah when especially when we're driving and he gets a bit tricky and then I look back and he when he when I look at him in the eyes You just cannot lock eyes with the kid and so every every child is different so maybe that's just the technique I might on I mean or the dude was sick of it and he just left the ship for his wife which is something I've probably done this like fuck this I'm out cannot handle I

27:24
laid down which is something I may have done in the past

27:31
in the past. Yeah, my past self may have this guy may have

27:38
now I've definitely done it. It's it pushes you to to the end of your being. Because you cannot control be like me. If you would always this around. I mean, you're close to that for me. You pretty loose. Sometimes I'm just like, I can't control this kid's gonna let this guy go. He hasn't stopped. He hasn't stopped talking to this stranger who thinks he's taking me down with him.

28:02
that would that would be you actually talking strangers. We pray and I were having lunch yesterday. And it was more creating a same for strangers where we Bray had been joking. I was just finishing editing something. And she said I'm going to go down to she was going to go and bring us back lunch. And I was like, Oh, I could come down in like 10 minutes. So I can I can just bring it back. And then she's walking then she texts and said Actually, it's really nice out maybe, you know, finish up and and come out. So anyway, she was saying

28:43
I said I'm heading out. She said Oh, I've just this casinos neither like which we've always found super weird and a bit of a shame. And she said I just went to the casino when spent all of our money. So I'm just drowning my sorrows out the front. Anyway, when we when we got to lunch, we decided to continue the pantomime or the improv, whatever you want to call it. Yeah. And so we're sitting down and embrace it. I just can't believe I just lost $50,000 at the keys. I said, you sit you know. And then also I've been supplying into us that you said you weren't gonna do it. And brake light. It's helped me that she was watching the school

29:27
year is just like looking at us. Like we shocked just couldn't believe it. And I ended up like backing down and just I couldn't continue the charge because I was like it couldn't I felt them well Also, it's just like the people must have thought that we will completely off our change anyway. So that was a moment of showing off either so you wouldn't got me because I'm the guy who sits at restaurants and cafes and just can't help myself especially if I'm by myself I go to cafes a lot by myself and I like doing work but I am when you're strapped it with Bodie when i

30:08
when i that's actually exactly how it plays out I'm as I'm getting coffee I'll go out by myself anyway I I was sitting at a cafe a couple of weeks ago and I wrote this down because I wanted to tell you about it is the perfect time because you've now outdid yourself as a guy who plays games in cafes and I'm that too but I just on the other way I like listening to people and so there was this one woman who was on the phone to somebody and she was just having this intense conversation and for the life of me I was trying to work out who she was talking to what it was all about and then she said she said this line I wrote it down I'm worried that I'll end up with a child that has anxiety like me I was I oh geez there's a lot going on there but she's sitting next to me like close seven coffee but she was talking to him It must have been a friend I thought jeez that that was wish to cheese same angry about it was she like she was no

31:09
she was slightly yeah i mean i probably delivered in the wrong time it was more a bit like blogs I that Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, I was not your acting is horrendous because that wasn't sounded like she was in a fight. And she said that she was worried. But it was so it was different.

31:28
Yeah, it was definitely different. You know why I didn't like that because I did it slowly. Because I hadn't read what I've written down three ways to cry worried that hashtag sly Raider with a child that hasn't gotten like, man. It was like very Oh, yeah. It's bizarre that that was. That was a bit of a nice drop. He dropped eavesdrop. eavesdrop

31:52
drop, I think Yeah. It's a strong Yeah. Yeah. I think it's a you've seen these as drop it. I know. Like where it comes from, it saves drop Jose's Yeah,

32:01
he was dropping who the facts eavesdropping and what is just who is if I just typed in eavesdropping into Google and it one of the drop downs is Eve's dropping Melvin what is it that

32:17
some sort of Facebook maybe they're the ones that are organizing bombing ciggies in Roseville. Maybe it's that maybe they're the parent company interesting eavesdropping used to be a crime

32:30
wow I guess it is just basically spying it's

32:37
few different but I think it may be eavesdropping the sense of tapping into people's phones but eavesdropping in a cafe people if people are going to talk you can listen anyway so daily talk show Enjoy the rest of your Thursday and will say tomorrow have a go on yeah my my rabbit hole for the rest of the day is just looking at this eavesdropping shit. I just found a website. All right.

33:00
I'll see you tomorrow

33:02
catches
