#131 – Slow food and machine guns/

0:07
Cross face

0:11
conversation sometimes worth recording with Josh Johnson and Tommy jacket. It's the daily Talk Show Episode 131. Yeah

0:22
What's going on? Tommy jacket. It's it's monsoon whether it's actually just passed. It was a massive dump of water. Otherwise known as Ryan

0:34
Yeah. I like I like the description. Is it is it I always get? I'm embarrassed because I don't know the difference always between like

0:44
an adjective an adjective i think is a Doing what? Isn't? Isn't that sorry. I did not ask me anything about that shit over cowboy. And that

0:53
I this is, this is the thing where it's like, I like to pride myself on a ride out. Fucking don't even know. I think of. I think an adjective is a is it is a description.

1:06
Why are you even thinking about that? Was it something we just talked about?

1:10
Well, because you were saying about the dumping or whatever. And I was like, Oh, that's quite descriptive. And then I think it has been on my mind. Because I've been I've been reading my Kindle a bunch. And I've got this desire to be less dumb. And so I've been holding down all the words that I don't understand. Yeah. And so I'm building like, a vocab of words. Which I'm going to go back to. And I want to like, try and remember what every day

1:35
is. It is it to be list them for other people or less down for yourself. Because I think there's a pressure to be less down for other people. Because let's be honest spelling, it doesn't fucking matter. And people will go to town on you. If you've ever misspelled something or use the wrong grammar. It's like, Who gives a fuck people? Yeah,

1:55
I think I just like I think it's like having a tidy room for me writing and having having a really good formed sentence to me feels like it's a it's a nice, it's a nice, yeah,

2:11
I think it's a little bit but it's 100%. The the lesson from life is you have to fail at it. Like, you have to try and pull out the big word when you don't quite think it's the right time. But you have an inkling that it might be and it might stick. It's like, not everyone is an academic who has a vocab of millions of, you know, fancy words.

2:36
I've been asking so many dumb questions on this trip. I told you before the show. What I wanted to do was do this intro where I I've been listening to Asha Ginsburg's podcast. And it's something he does this thing that smooth FM does as well. Which i'd love. Like, I don't know why it makes me feel so comfy. So I'm going to do it. And then you can give me some feedback. But you know, you might be listening. I have done it before, too. But if you if you've if you haven't listened to the first 50 episodes, this is very new to you. But um, yeah, you might be listening in your car right now, you know, on a train might be pouring down with rain, and you're about to pick your kids up from school or your you know, you getting out that last bit of exercise before you go to bed. Welcome to the dough talk show.

3:23
I want to know what they're doing that last bit of exercise before they go to bed. What kind of exercises? Are you just a couple of push ups? Well, you really had me when you said picking up the kids from school. It's I mean, it's writing where I am. And I'm about to go pick up Bodie from daycare. So you had me Yeah,

3:41
I mean, and the thing is that and there's a bunch of people right now who's like, haha, I'm actually an airport will guess what, just got you then you're at an airport or a train station. I know. You just have a bit of a smile to yourself because we're connected

3:56
night

3:58
bit of feedback. Yeah, probably just laid straight in with that. Yeah,

4:02
it's hard because I've sort of, I don't want it to go too long. With just me talking. Yeah, and

4:08
usually usually it's a show where there's no one else there's one co there's one host and that's just not another person. That was the problem because I think people would listen they go with Fox, Tommy and why would anyone ever talk like that when there's another person in the room

4:27
is that's, you know what, that is actually a really good point because I have been listening to a bunch of podcasts that are just solo people. Yeah, and I've almost stopped listening to it as much because I feel like after I listened to it I end up going into these longer monologues on the show because I'm used to that sort of style yeah dude It is one of the hardest things to talk to yourself

4:52
on a like pressing record and talking wow Derek dirty Derek a man he does it it's hot

5:01
but I think that like I I do enjoy the because I am a little bit ID day in a bit weird I think that I could probably and when I was a kid that's all I did because I had no friends to actually report like everything was a solo show until now it's the

5:15
closest closest time that you they'll probably be right when they say you love the sandy your own voice because you you actually just hearing your own voice so we think I've been just a little technical thing I realized yesterday you told me to turn the my headphones down so I did but then I realized that I'm actually hearing myself lower than I am actually talking so it was this weird thing when you can't hear yourself the volume that you just normally talk at or whatever you know decibel you're talking about it throws you off so it made me It felt weird but um. Yeah

5:51
it's it's almost like when you hear a bit of a reverb or something and all of a sudden you start slurring your words

5:59
but we I had I had East stuff like that reminds me this yesterday when will coming into Rome for whatever reason I don't know why but they are um train system might ease we're going crazy and I wasn't it wasn't even on one of the fast trains and I was like I had this moment where I'm like, Is this some This is really doc but I think when you traveling probably once every three days I asked myself is this a terrorist attack like someone some key to accidentally pop the balloon in London? I just fucking ran like just and so I thought when they eat my ears but I'm like is this some sort of weed whacking cyber bullshitting with I've gotten into if I can Brian i mean i there was there is

6:44
a feeling of being on edge when you're overseas it so we because you don't i don't have that sense here. But I went to Paris and there was a shooting in Paris a couple of years before I went there and then three months before I went to Tel Aviv there was a shooting in just one the mind strips and so you I am on the lookout but here's the thing though you get that I did get to those towns and I didn't feel I didn't feel like I thought it would feel it's like when you're amongst it and you just a punter walking through shopping said I had that dude, I was at Chad's shopping center on Saturday night and it's Have you been to the new charity

7:22
now when totally not just the one that's got like a new hotel on stuff

7:27
that hasn't been built yet. But for anyone outside of Victoria it's like one of the biggest shopping centers it's probably one of the biggest in the southern hemisphere. It's ginormous and it's growing but they've done this full rate like a full Rebuild of some of their main parts the Apple Store is off the Richter it's got trees inside it's like a it's like a little area where you can sit around on the trees it's fucking unbelievable anyway it feels like you're overseas It feels like it's up there with Dubai shopping centers and and I was walking through going back I just I don't know how it came into my head but I was thinking about terrorist attack was like this is where it would happen this is yeah

8:09
this is the kind of play yeah it does have that invite like yeah there's certain things I think provoke it in my head which is like if I'm in a big crowd but then as you said like once you're there like I think part of its also because there are military people at all the big sites and Europe he co founded massive like machine guns or whatever and you just look at and you say they've got these big like I don't even know the cold like big Jeep things that you know that they could hide in if something was happening and that would like be fine so I'm just imagining them like something happening in them bringing out like I was even thinking maybe like this I wonder if there's like snipers in buildings like wait if something was to happen in paradise

8:57
where is wrong we're in Rome Italy maybe around the Vatican's

9:04
yeah well I was just thinking like if the if they've got people with guns who are outside just roaming around surely they've got like a team of military people in a room or whatever, waiting for something to happen. They just go out

9:19
here but they've got those in Melbourne in the city and I know dude whose dad was the head of the so Jays, I think it is Special Operations Group. And he told me that he went into this building one day and lucky go up a lift and opens up and I mean, he was telling me one thing, and I was just thinking of Mission Impossible. And the rooms that you go in this ganda everywhere it's this secret underground layer or something. But he said there is a team that he's waiting it should anything happen and they like it's almost like the fiber guide with guns up different

9:58
shooting. Yeah, shooting sure that didn't go on a pole. Like I think that'd be a bit dangerous. Could you imagine ak 47 does sort of sliding down. Yeah. Paul

10:06
Why? Well, when I was in Tel Aviv, there was a dude I was just walking to get a coffee and he was back at home. And this dude just runs past me young guy, maybe 2021 and just had a ak 47 just on his on his arm had his hand on it. It must be a thing where you like if you you always see them, they've always got their hand on it and ready to use. It's like safety. And

10:31
so they still just ran past me. Then he jumped onto the bus and he's just sitting down the bus is off he goes go into training. So weird. It's even noticed the new the parliament or whatever, where the Prime Minister's at the moment in Italy, in Rome, they were doing some sort of

10:49
wasn't a changing of God. I don't think that's the right term. But there was like these like three people with guns and they had like, big guns, but they were doing like something so funny about bringing choreography and guns together doing this sort of like movements where they bring up and down I'm I'm surely that can't be sent uploaded. Because you wouldn't be I also was I just got into the mind of the guy who thought there was this real sick unit with a gun doing military shit, and all of a sudden on day one, they're like, okay, you're gonna have to learn this choreographed dance. You got to make sure that your legs Oh, go on the same time.

11:25
I mean, everybody has a question. Do you think he could be in the army? I now have asked us to keep it like good. I

11:32
think I think people would know the answer. I think that I would have to have some unique unique job well, I

11:38
because I think I look at it and there's no chance and there's no chance I could do it. I couldn't stick to the discipline of getting told what to do and bossed around all the time it's just

11:50
goes against my need is yeah my need and wanted to human like why can't even work for a bureaucratic campaign let alone like an actual you know for military thing yeah

12:03
it would it would do my fucking hate it but I have

12:06
thought about it though to be honest. Like I've thought about amen to go to interesting places to as like a as a documentarian or whatever creating content

12:19
yeah I've definitely thought about

12:22
war zone type of stuff and just

12:26
creating content or filming

12:29
the closest I got to a war zone was we in Israel driving to the Johnston

12:36
the the Gaza Strip like the divide between Israel

12:41
and and it's like it's such a weird thing he these like sirens going off it's like these people are leaving if they reality it's full on it'd be a good

12:53
perspective shift for I mean, we've got it so good here where we live in Melbourne like from a safe the point of view we It is so safe like in comparison to the places that you know, hugging other countries

13:11
so as your phone call good, distracted,

13:15
it's okay. Yeah, yes. Yeah,

13:15
I mean, it's very low level the shit that we have to deal with in Australia. But the thing that Rome and Melbourne have in common is our bikes in the

13:26
Instagram post back as you know about this I knew that they were over in Europe but I didn't know that they were smack bang in Rome. Yeah,

13:36
they're everywhere.

13:37
Are they saying heaps of them? Are they is destroyed and abused as the ones in Melbourne?

13:44
Well I didn't even know in Melbourne that they actually had a stand because none of them are standing academic room they're actually like standing up black bags and you're like actually you feel a bit embarrassed about how how poorly though traded him home and so there's a difference yeah absolutely yeah well they just there's probably maybe cuz Rome I mean I have no sense of size or scale but I feel like rooms bigger than Melbourne or it's like it's it's a different type of scale it wasn't built like bigger might you wouldn't you wouldn't believe it I've got that song Brian I and the annoying thing is we don't know all the words so we've just been going around Rome all of yesterday seeing you and me man to be

14:33
in harmony and then they go you know Rome wasn't built in a day but Bray said that that was by Macy Gray I looked it up it wasn't

14:46
Macy Gray probably did a cover but i think i think i can tell you why they they notice destroyed is in Melbourne

14:55
this why

14:56
because there's there's walking around with fucking machine guns yeah the city of you this a bit a you know getting some young punk throwing it back into the water yeah I mean

15:06
the fighting is like yeah the machine guns not guy I don't think they're there for the bikes. But I guess it's enough maybe it is maybe that's our bikes and use of plan around keeping keeping the bike safe is we just got a bunch of military high security well, like, Are you here for the Vatican know, we're actually just outside to there's an Obeid

15:28
I have a bit of an update no one else will probably give a fuck but you might the cafe downstairs at our at our office sold

15:38
Wow What does that so that that cafe does amazing meat and cheese platter yeah they do. I mean

15:47
we're not doing an ad for the night it's

15:50
a fact and sold now and so we we got to be careful now. At least it was did tom tom end up buying one of the sad things that would have pain again. I girls buying it. She's got purple here. That's all I know about it. But I so when you're back. It's not the point of what I'm not getting. This isn't the story but I just thought I'd give you a bit of an update. But I was at the cafe this morning. And I am attempting to duty Derek if I was gonna say dirty. Derek is known to spend a little bit of time at that cafe and we had our make George working for us just before I left for my trip. And he was pointing out all the different characters like a Seinfeld episode and dirty Derek was one sorry,

16:34
true. I think most cafes businesses that I've worked in gyms especially they

16:41
there is literally a sitcom just being developed from the business opening or the establishment being there's just Yeah, the eclectic mix of weed units. And they're all lovable. eclectic. I

16:54
like that word. eclectic. So good word is when zero ck bad. Checking out. The not fucking sure but did it and one ya know. It was really good. Really good. Yeah, boy.

17:05
No. Sorry. Go on. So Derek walking. I was walking out. And Derek and Derek pointed. And he's like fact that's a bit of a bit of a shift name for a wheelchair. And there was a dude and you might have seen him. He comes in and he's in a wheelchair. All the fella he seems, you know. Yeah, he seems healthy. I think he's been in the wheelchair for quite some time.

17:27
And I looked over the fucking name of the wheelchair brand was karma

17:38
K. RMA as spelled comma.

17:42
So I'm

17:44
and what is welcome to me. I was thinking like, what do you think when you think karma? Like just a brief explanation what I mean, what is it might not be the exact explanation. But

17:54
oh, OK. Comma, is just like, you do something wrong. And it comes back to Yeah, that's why thought and, yeah, immediately

18:01
you mom jumps to, he did something in a you're in a wheelchair? Yeah.

18:05
Or maybe it's the opposite may be like, you put me in this wheelchair? Carmen's coming for you. Yeah,

18:11
it's an interesting name. There's, you have business names of funny, I looked up the business. It's, it's been around since 1997. So it's not a new comedy there an Australian business and they started by john Carmack.

18:26
No, I Well, I actually because I was like, Fuck, that's a bit stiff. If that explanation, but the, the, the explanation according to Wikipedia of karma means action work or date. It also refers to the spiritual principle of cause and effect where intent and actions of an individual influence the future of that individual. Yeah, so so I guess, like, we look at it in this negative thing, but there's a good camera as well. Well, yeah, you could look at good karma or this or they could look at us like, I mean, it's like they could say the, your future is better in a candle wheelchair? I mean, I'm not doing their lines there.

19:07
Sounds like you are sounds like we're just have you got them as a client? Yeah, I actually just how ways old

19:13
just want some ideas? I actually don't know. But remember, the there was a business called ISIS is is. Yeah,

19:21
it's still around. Yeah, there's also Schindler's List.

19:27
You know, in South Melbourne, where we're used to work there was, um, yeah, there was that Lyft was by Schindler's lifts, which I thought was quite funny. I mean, there's no comparison here, but your logo that you had done for your full stack film business, full stack films, yeah. slightly annoying, because I had a, it was printed on the circular stickers, actually. And I'll put a bit of a pin on stickers for that. Want to hear what's what's happening. But yeah, full stack films. It was an F s, F, and the S sort of hard to explain. But anyway, if you put it on the wrong side, people could think it looked a little bit like a swastika. Which was really frustrating to At what point though, did you realize because I'm sure that dude just came out with a camera like that you know good comma he might have just had his head around the fact that it's good karma so we're doing we're doing good and this is good karma that we just have I think you've got two different you've got two different types of people there's people who are like really like dig into me about it and be like man you can't do that look at these and then there's other people where it's like no I didn't say it

20:33
I don't know yeah it's uh. I'm excited for our will definitely be go it will be checking twice or three times our logo making sure that it doesn't you

20:45
don't turn it one way and it looks like a deck or something but you've kind of you've got one shot at it actually know maybe you could probably read Britain but i think you know what a hashtag or a brand X ray brand or just or just go into liquidation call it quits what exactly what's how with the stickers that we are sending them off I was gonna bring it back so I've got the envelopes we've written the P o box on the back as a return to sender which we probably made but good promotion for the P o box. And absolutely or I'm going out I'm going to do them tonight. And thank you we're sending out the stickers so let's open that up for a little while. It's

21:24
because you see we gotta wrap Michelle

21:29
might have been on holidays it's actually I'm in a really good mood because yesterday I just smashed out a bunch of work probably only like four hours but I'd been funny quite hard which I should have known that it was going to happen It was quite hard to work while I'm away and I only had a few sort of overflow bits and pieces that I just needed to action yeah and so I did that so I'm slowly the funny thing about all this stuff he's I feel so much better when I take shit off it's so like it procrastination is the weirdest thing that I think I think we don't we don't do another stick around for a while really build up maybe for Episode 200 we could do I was even thinking that we could do a sticker around page where we could have like wolf Wolf and a few of the biggest catch cries lock that may be a special life traps stick

22:23
Did you say tofu the dog the famous dog so he's got to stick a like a sticker board

22:31
can you ask Can you your mates with tofu down a slash dad and you ask him slash dead I was gonna go with dad but there's something a bit creepy about it

22:41
well i'm i'm bodies dad exactly until he's mine yeah right yeah

22:48
hundred percent yeah that's it may fatherhood gives you one thing and so but you'd want to you investing all the time it's not yeah rent money he's dead money he made the note you should find out from tofu dad where he got the stickers from because I looked I sort of liked the the style that page style looks good

23:10
yeah it's it's a it's a so fucking I did you see my friend Dan from cloakroom got a he pulled into a car park and I think he must have been up in Sydney but he parked there for like a week and I just saw he put on his Instagram the cost of the parking for a week was 770 bucks that's

23:35
crazy over

23:39
I've yeah today I had to park in like it to go and find a park I've usually got an allocated one with the car park was focused on getting light and I'm just so paranoid getting parking tickets they're just like the most annoying things you could possibly get and so I've been like parking timing putting a timer on as soon as I walk away then I just see the like I saw the parking is back to as I got back to the car and we said the bodybuilder one night it was my my older asked him Do you can you just give me yeah he's just chill out

24:13
chill chill out bro bro. I believe the Royals and have a bra Bing with protein yeah he's a little he's a little he's a he's a cookie for ya know but

24:24
so you know Jeff Jarrett Yeah, some of his white What does it Bodhi tree body temperature. Anyway, I've just got this bone to pick and pack things on my mind moment across the road from my house. There's a car park underneath the Woolworth and I've been characters in killer as a kid as an adult. So when I didn't have my license and when I got my license and I leave here and I'd always ducked down to the supermarket or if I was coming soon killed our park in this place because parking factor ends and killed it's a the permit or ticket parking or very short time parking so like, you know, an hour free and there was this one car park and that is had free parking for as long as I can remember, 90 minutes up to and not up to 90 minutes. So you you you get over that 60 It's enough time to go and have dinner and have a beer but recently they fucking enforced paid parking there.

25:27
It's I'm furious. How much should I charge? Because the thing was brain I were in Serrano, and you know, in this medieval town, and the Airbnb host said, if you are in the blue lines, you need to pay if you are in the white lines, you don't need to pay. And so we were trying like there was one time where we're

25:50
avoiding the blue lines. And there was no white line. So we're just sort of hanging there waiting. And like, you know what, let's just do the blue lines. And it was like the whole day costs like two years, I guess it's just like different

26:02
when it's

26:03
to euro for a day, you could handle it of cool Australia. It's just like,

26:08
it's crazy what they charge. It's fucking ridiculous. And it's To be honest, it's on the full box for like an hour. But it's on the point. If you go like if you duck to the supermarket, or you literally just want to run into the bolo or you go go into the cake store. Frequent frequent things, and they speaking to me is

26:29
it's fallback audience. And it's just it's so annoying for the locals, because it's we're just feeling the brunt of, you know, big corporation. These big businesses just wanting to suck at every dollar and fit like the I reckon, literally, I drove to another I drove to another place that had free parking because of it. So

26:54
driving, I think driving culture is good. Like, I enjoy driving a lot better where it comes undone. Like we were looking at driving along the Amalfi Coast. But the one point which makes it too difficult is once you get into all these towns, there's like hardly any car parking. Yeah, so the drive would be a lot of fun. I could be like, Great Ocean Road. A little bit scary, but you know, enjoyable. Yeah, but you'll get your your phone's going off today. Yeah,

27:24
it's business hours. You put your party

27:26
like blowing up. Yeah, so I feel like there's some some places like the US not San Francisco, obviously. But there's places in the States, especially when you go to places like North Carolina. Yeah. Where it's a driving style where you just like you will drive from one place, like, one Denny's to a wall grains. It's like, it doesn't matter what the shop is love. Got a car park for like 100 spaces.

27:55
Yes. But yeah. What's la they've got

28:00
I was just thinking about the lines la the paint the gases to show you where you can park

28:07
Have you? Well, we got done, we might got done when we were we were in the LA because he was parked within all the lines and everything. But there was a little like, Great type thing like a drain. And he was he was just on that. It was absolutely fine. But he got ticketed for that. That's right. We get a parking ticket when we were in LA to Santa Monica. And, I mean, overseas overseas stuff worries me a little bit the we were told we have out this we were in a in a restaurant in Serrano. So Serrano has like a population of a couple of hundred people. medieval town really small and there was this we go into this one or like Cantina. And it's um, it's really cold medieval style basically they they've got these old

29:01
caves where they keep all their wine because it keeps really cool in there. So um, first of all, it was funny because we

29:12
how Airbnb host met us there. And he was showing us around and we went and we went down the caves. And there was this big sculpture with a lady and she had quite large breasts. And Bray said, Oh, look at the pair on that. And he said pardon. So the heartbreak saying that it's got big tits. And he's like, he goes, I made that he's a sculpture artists or whatever. And he's theme is all this erotic stuff. Because basically, he's one of he's places that he owns, which is like a garden. And lots of the things he basically bought this plot of land. And he found a house, which is like a cave type thing where the town brothel was. So he's renovating at the moment, that brothel and so he's and next door it's like a pottery dude. So he's like, he's mixing his sculpture and pottery and sort of all this erotic thing to go with his this place that you found, which is really cool. But the point of the story was the it's a very, it's a really long thread to driving. But we'll get there. There was a lady that we pass and we said want to Sarah to whereas be walked in, or whatever she was eating on our own. And then we heard her speaking to another patron arrived or whatever, and she's speaking to them. And we realized that she was Australian. And so we after we

30:45
paid for our bill, we went up and said, I, I think we heard you from Melbourne. She said, Yeah, she, um, she runs the

30:54
farmers market,

30:57
like 800 meters from our place back in Abbotsford. And so, like she was into, like, slow food,

31:06
all the slow food culture and such as, like, the manager of slow food or something. And I've got no studies and it's like, it's like, I actually don't know what's Slow Food just sounds annoying to me. Very, like when you see opposite of fast food. It's like slow food. Yeah, I'm not a vibe being what, like tasty, tasty food. I like Slow Food annoying. Yeah, but she, she said that to you. So you've regurgitated that too, as well. Yes, slow food, I think is sort of like it's really,

31:38
you know, use a lot of method and thought behind it. And it's a and so where we were eating was a slow food place, which you could tell because we fucking the bill for two of us, or whatever was like probably translated site iD iD, Australian dollars, or whatever, for the two of us for dinner. But the thing is, with these places, you go like yours. Let's do the whole Italian things end up having fucking for courses and drinking. They're like local made wine, or like they have their own soft drink that they make from grapes, which is really cool.

32:11
Anyway, closing closing the loop, closing the loop, Slow Food, food, according to wiki is an organ organization that promotes local food in traditional cooking. It was founded by Carlo 3d in Italy.

32:26
They all right, well,

32:28
it's a much better explanation. Anyway, she was she was

32:32
she was telling us about should being she was actually easily to she's looking at buying a place and sort of setting up a whole Slow Food thing. Anyway,

32:43
she was saying about finds that you can get. So if you go into a local town. Yeah, you can get like a $600 fine for driving in the local town. And all the signs are in Italians have to be really careful. And they just like they send the fine to your friends car company, and they just take it off your credit card. That's a stitch up.

33:06
That's it.

33:07
That's so dodgy. Because how do you know, but they do it. We had a fruit. Yeah, well, this is the thing we had a friends who went to Italy, they had six speeding fines on their credit card. So we were just being really was being pretty pedantic. I was having everyone take take over. Well, when

33:26
credit cards it's like, Yeah, well, it would be a month before you look back on your card and say, if you really being brutal at the end of the month, like when I

33:37
get when we're being really specific around like, we had a case where we paid for something on my credit card, and the guy said, It declined. Yeah. So then Bray paid on the credit card. He said it was declined. And then I paid cash. And then we've gone home and realize that both those charges are currently pending. So we now need to be cold. I said, and I said, you need to white to say if it clears and if it cleans, and you can

34:03
mark it as a you know, a bad for election. Jesus. Fraud seems like a hard word. And I feel I feel like they would just didn't know what I'm doing. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

34:13
me. No. Speaking English.

34:17
Well, can you never do that again? Well,

34:18
I know

34:21
what the accent was, it was making me uncomfortable.

34:25
I had I had

34:27
one segment idea, rather than this isn't the launch of a segment ID, this is may bring it to you. And then we can work shop at and safe. It's worthwhile. So I was looking at the statistics of the daily talk show. And I was saying there's a bunch of places Iceland Greenland places that we don't have a we've never had a listener in all our, you know, hundred and 31 episodes. Yes. And so when I was wondering whether we start something called the country warrant where you if someone takes a photo of them in one of the countries that we specify. So we have 10 countries going at any given time. Yeah. And if someone is in that country, and they take a photo of them listening to the podcast, we send them something or we give them $5 cash in the currency in which they're listening.

35:23
And you can't just send a photo that you talk when you're on holidays in that destination.

35:29
Now, it needs to have us in it now. You can't. You definitely can't do that. Yeah, look happy. We have a Yeah, so like, we've we've had some really interesting countries where people have listened like, if I just go all time have Mike,

35:43
you're what you're gonna say. I was gonna say this, someone in Moscow, but then I realized that it could be my boy, Gideon, who I talked about yesterday Yeah, he's been traveling he's he was it was over in Russia at the World Cup so Ah, yes maybe but they were some very some somebody in Afghanistan 68 page and Casella dude, if you're in a stamp, we've got some people in Iran as well, if you're in Afghanistan, the take a selfie with I don't know, somehow gets him the daily talk show. Yeah,

36:20
actually, that's a good thing. Even though we've got a listener, at least one listener and Afghanistan. If you can take a photo of you listening, which will get made. This is the thing that I was getting off on the beginning of the show, talking directly to people. If you're in Afghanistan, and you're in the car, and you're picking up the kids from school. If you're listening to the daily talk, show, take a photo and we'll send you five Australian dollars in on through paper. Yeah,

36:46
see, see, here's the difference at the start. You just didn't offer up a bribe to make them loose. Yeah,

36:52
so we're going to start with Afghanistan, even though we know we have a listener but I I definitely have

36:59
great land and Iceland. I always get confused between Iceland and Greenland is an Icelander

37:06
Iceland, Greenland or Greenland as I met Debbie so scared again, except for all yeah

37:12
go with what before Yeah, Iceland Iceland I think would be really cool that's the one that's so pretty isn't it I think anyway yeah well

37:21
first one this is our first goal whoever's listening in Kabul Afghanistan yeah please shoot us a shoot us an email high and the daily talk show and you get a five Just give me five bucks and we sent him an Australian currency

37:36
now what I'll do it as a PayPal transaction know if I don't know if there's any

37:43
one thing we got to be careful of is are we allowed to send money to Afghanistan you know how there's some countries on like lists and stuff like that but anyway, we'll we'll definitely send some stickers and if we have to we can send the $5 in cash that you can use on buying some lovely Afghani food do they see I'm just looking at the the bills that they use

38:06
yeah telephone for Cal there's like 123456789 different bills in the currency confusing do they all look very different because this is the problem with the state so there's not much difference between off they don't look like a monopoly money you've saved

38:24
actually is

38:26
totally money there yeah wow that's a rabbit hole to go down just looking searching carrot different currencies and and looking at different images of them

38:36
I do like the idea of us being an educational podcast maybe could there be a segment around currency Tommy's currency and you can every episode bring one currency and a little fact about them interesting could we at least trial that

38:56
right you know the problem with making promises on this podcast they we've broken them we've got

39:04
trial it now I'm really good. The only promise that I've brought him was that I was going to have a forward slash promises section of the website, but that we just ran out of time. But the the one the one segment that I would like to start ease every day, I teach everyone a new word maybe based on my Kindle vocab. Yeah,

39:26
I appreciate that. This is something

39:29
that if I can put it into a sentence I can put into my What do you make? People want to know currencies and shit as well? Do they? Yeah,

39:35
the chance if I feel like the chance of majority of our listeners, going to Afghanistan is probably quite low. I'd like to go Yeah,

39:43
no, but it's bad. Do you know what they do? Go to trivia nights. True. True. 100%. The Daily talk show listeners go to trivia nights. I respect that

39:54
high the daily talk show.com is the email address Anything else? news, TJ before we end this Tuesday, see you next Tuesday. See that well done? Pretty good. No will. I'm thinking eventually we'll have a nice out try. I was thinking we could like it. Rather than just going off this awkward ending. We have this real punchy thing where it's like hey it's Tommy and Josh you did you like the show or make sure that you sign up to our newsletter for your chance to get stickers even though we don't have and use this in the future if it's not brought to you by 711 I don't want to do it

40:29
I'm still waiting on my given my checks

40:32
surely I feel like we should just send them every single mentioned we need to we need to run all our episodes through something into a montage good today. Talk show everyone I'm off to explore Rome it's a What is it? It's 8:25am in the morning here in Rome and it's for 25 in Melbourne you've just had a monsoon enjoying go inside and relax eat a body weight and
