From this episode’s transcript.

  • –Hamish and Andy's shift from radio to podcasting inspired Tommy and Josh to impose stricter start-time discipline on their own show.
  • –Tommy's parents found old Australian banknotes nailed inside a hidden envelope in an exposed beam of their house, a discovery they didn't realise might have had collector's value.
  • –Tommy has a personal history of finding money, including a childhood incident where he and a friend found a bag of stolen electronics and turned it in to police for a $50 reward.
  • –The hosts discuss phone number spoofing as a likely explanation for scam calls appearing to come from almost-correct contacts.
  • –New social network Vero is discussed critically, including claims about royalty-free image rights and the founder's background.

Questions this episode answers

What should you do if you find cash in the street?

Josh suggests that if the amount is over $100, you should try to do something about it (such as reporting it), though neither host has personally experienced this situation.

Can old Australian banknotes still be used as cash?

Yes, according to Tommy, old paper Australian currency can still be taken to a bank and cashed in because it remains part of the recognised currency and must be accounted for.

What is Vero and what are the concerns around it?

Vero is a new social network discussed in the episode; Josh raises concerns that it may claim royalty-free rights to users' images and notes questions about the ethics of its founder's background.

Tommy: And it's The Daily Talk Show.

0:03

Josh: G'day, Tommy. Mate, we're trying something different. It is The Daily Talk Show. And what are we up to? We're up to episode 32. And I was telling you a story.

0:12

Tommy: Yes.

0:13

Josh: About my mate Hamish Blake has a little known radio show.

0:19

Tommy: Oh, yeah.

0:20

Josh: Hamish and Andy. He's the Hamish. Anyway, he was telling me that with the podcast, how it's good.

0:26

Tommy: They've transitioned from radio to—

0:28

Josh: Correct.

0:29

Tommy: Podcasting. And, uh, because they saw us doing it.

0:31

Josh: Is that— Mate, that's exactly what has happened. But they were— he was talking about the discipline of being on at 4 PM and how they're trying to create that space with podcast— the podcast.

0:43

Tommy: Yeah. I mean, they need that incentive, um, because they, they're not getting paid enough for it, right? And they're like, guys, we're going to put some constraints in place. We're going to get the podcast going by 4. Or not getting—

0:57

Josh: Exactly, well, but that, so that brought me to today where we decide, I said to you, we're gonna, I fuck around before every podcast, right? You do, you do a lot. I'm always like doing bits and bobs and I said, we're gonna start this at 4:25 sharp, treat it like a radio show.

1:14

Tommy: We're on.

1:15

Josh: And so I didn't even get to cheque levels, you're fucking a bit loud.

1:17

Tommy: No, that's fine.

1:18

Josh: It's fine.

1:19

Tommy: Hey, some feedback has come through.

1:21

Josh: Okay.

1:22

Tommy: It's filtered its way down. I.e., my mother's called me.

1:27

Josh: She just told me— She actually call you?

1:29

Tommy: No, I actually called her for this.

1:31

Josh: Okay.

1:31

Tommy: But she sent me a text message. She's done a few little bits of feedback, but today I spoke to her. Okay. And she really likes you.

1:41

Josh: Have you met her?

1:41

Tommy: You met her on my birthday.

1:42

Josh: Yeah, we hung out.

1:43

Tommy: She said, "Yeah, I really like Josh." She said, "You guys are funny. I actually was laughing out loud." Was it the pube stuff? I can't remember what she said she was laughing at, but She also said that, um, she said, oh, but there's a few, few too many fucks in there.

2:01

Josh: Okay, no, that's fair. I think my mum would have the same feedback if she listened.

2:04

Tommy: Yeah, but she doesn't listen to anything or watch anything you do.

2:07

Josh: I feel like the kid who plays basketball whose parents never show up. To be clear, my parents were always, always very supportive for my brothers.

2:18

Tommy: So they were good.

2:19

Josh: They drove me to film school. They were good.

2:20

Tommy: So, she's a fan. She said she feels like she knows you now.

2:24

Josh: Oh, that's nice.

2:25

Tommy: And she—

2:26

Josh: Ever since the squeegee story, I think that really breaks the— Penetrates the surface. Penetrates the surface, whatever you want to call it.

2:33

Tommy: So, there was an article yesterday that said this—

2:39

Josh: Are you moving on right now?

2:40

Tommy: I'm moving on.

2:41

Josh: Fuck you.

2:41

Tommy: You can have your— You want to bask in feedback, don't you?

2:45

Josh: No, no, no. I, uh, a little bit.

2:47

Tommy: You do like basking in it.

2:48

Josh: Did it happen yesterday? 'Cause you know I love nostalgia. Today's not as interesting as it was yesterday. As it will be tomorrow. Yeah, tomorrow we'll look back and that'll be great. Go on.

2:58

Tommy: This guy came back to his rental property that he had rented out and he found like a fuckload of diamonds stashed in the house. So, they're his, essentially. It's his fucking house.

3:13

Josh: Is that how it works?

3:14

Tommy: Well, it was probably the previous tenant. I'm sure it's not. But I didn't delve much further into the article because I can't be bothered reading.

3:21

Josh: But here we go.

3:22

Tommy: Mum and Dad, they moved into a house probably 4 years ago, maybe 5 years ago, and they bought it. It was a deceased estate.

3:31

Josh: Perfect. You're gonna get some cool shit. Either really cool shit.

3:34

Tommy: No, no, no. So deceased estate can just mean the owner has passed away.

3:38

Josh: Yeah.

3:38

Tommy: And they're selling it for the estate, but doesn't mean that they've got all this shit left in the house.

3:43

Josh: Of course. I didn't know.

3:44

Tommy: I just assumed. No, it made sense. It's good to clarify that. But so, they got it cheap in terms of not going to auction and bidding against all these people for the house.

3:56

Josh: Yeah.

3:57

Tommy: And it was an older style and it's got, it's like almost a Californian. Do you know what a Californian style bungalow house is?

4:03

Josh: I'm guessing it's like open. Has it got like a, is it elevated?

4:08

Tommy: No, low ceilings with like beams exposed. Yeah, they're beautiful. Anyway, they've done a reno to it, but as they're doing the reno, there was like— there's the exposed beams in the lounge room. There's two of them, one on each side of the room that is holding the roof up. And Dad was up there painting and he sees on the inside of the beam, which is like the furthest from your eyesight because it's like facing the wall. Yeah, because it's quite close to the wall. He found an envelope that had been nailed to the wood.

4:42

Josh: So if you see that, you know there's going to be something good in it.

4:44

Tommy: Well, it's a weird spot. You'd never think anything's up there.

4:47

Josh: Yeah.

4:48

Tommy: And you'd never— there's nowhere to put anything and it's out of eyesight. So because they were in for a couple of months before they even started doing this stuff, and he took down the envelope, opened it up, this fucking $800 cash.

5:04

Josh: Amazing.

5:05

Tommy: Not like old currency, old, old, old, um, Australian currency. So the paper The legit paper notes.

5:12

Josh: Can you still like cash that in?

5:13

Tommy: Yeah, you can take old school notes and cash them in at the bank.

5:17

Josh: Oh, that's good.

5:17

Tommy: It's still essentially a part of the economy. It's a currency. So, it has to be accounted for. Imagine all the lost money out there.

5:26

Josh: There would be a lot.

5:27

Tommy: Do they like, they know how much is within the Australian economy, the dollars that are printed?

5:33

Josh: Oh, that's right.

5:34

Tommy: I put, I put up on Facebook, I was like, 'Anyone have any suggestions of where I should fly my drone?' When did you do this? This was ages ago when I first got it. And I know I— one of the suggestions, you and I went and flew the drone, it was over the cemetery.

5:49

Josh: Oh yeah, you wouldn't do that nowadays, would you?

5:50

Tommy: No, probably not. Um, the other suggestion was to go and fly it over the, uh, the note printing place in Melbourne. There's a legit joint where they print Australian currency.

6:02

Josh: Oh, that's cool. Man, as a kid getting a— nostalgia alert— getting any—

6:08

Tommy: that's what mum said. Oh, Josh loves talking about his past, doesn't he?

6:15

Josh: Why does she talk like that?

6:17

Tommy: Oh, she's very cute. I'll have her on the show, but she's— she kind of has that. But actually, it's probably exaggerated version.

6:24

Josh: Yeah, that was my point, was that you're exaggerating. Yeah, I don't think she said it sounds cuter though, doesn't it? Yeah. No, getting coins. Like, if you got, like, if I got a 2018 coin.

6:35

Tommy: Yeah.

6:36

Josh: Get fucking real pumped about it.

6:37

Tommy: I was a bit annoyed that Mum and Dad didn't look into how much those notes, because they could have been collectors.

6:44

Josh: Ah, so rather than just cashing it in.

6:47

Tommy: Yeah, because you can look at the sequence on a note to see when it is from. Then you'd have to go and fucking find. What's the deal with finding shit? Like, who, who, I mean, some people would say they could have gone out of the way to contact the owner and blah, blah, blah, but it's, it's, um, $700, $800 bucks, I think it was that. But yeah, I mean, it is the previous owners, but you wouldn't be able to find it. If you find cash in the street, what's the deal?

7:18

Josh: Oh, like if it's over, if it's over $100 You should try and do something.

7:26

Tommy: You reckon?

7:26

Josh: Have you? No, I've never had it happen, so I can't say whether I would or not. I've never— Have you come, like, what's the, like, have you ever had a bunch of money just rock up?

7:38

Tommy: Oh, fuck. Just reminded me. I was a kid. I would have been 8 years old. Nostalgia alert.

7:43

Josh: Right.

7:43

Tommy: I fucking love this story. Yeah, but this is a good storey that doesn't involve high school and me fucking walking around with my teachers.

7:48

Josh: Okay, well, I'll tell you. Can we make this— Why don't we just try and get all of our storeys out?

7:54

Tommy: Okay.

7:55

Josh: About being young today. And then we'll go, so you tell me your young story.

7:59

Tommy: Well, it has relevance to this topic.

8:02

Josh: I'll make mine relevant too. Alright.

8:04

Tommy: You fucking better not make it up like you used to when you were at school to your teachers. Couldn't read, but would make up the storeys from the book.

8:11

Josh: Yes. Now you're doing exactly what I did.

8:13

Tommy: That was some other feedback. Someone mentioned that they liked that. I thought that was funny that you said that.

8:19

Josh: Really? Who was it? Campton?

8:20

Tommy: Yes, Campton. Our second listener.

8:22

Josh: Mate, you're bringing in all the listeners. Yeah, yeah, come on.

8:27

Tommy: Well, we don't know if any— anyway, anyway, so, uh, about 8 years old, walking down the street. It was called Macombie Street in Elsternwick. It's where I was hanging out near Elsternwick McDonald's, if you know the area. And there's— there was an old police station. It's gone now, but it was like— I'm— when I say old It fucking looked old.

8:48

Josh: Was it operating at the time?

8:49

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it was like this, it's where the, you know where ABC is in, in Elsternwick?

8:56

Josh: Uh, I'm not good with this shit.

8:58

Tommy: So it's like the main headquarters of ABC. They shoot a lot of shows there. Okay.

9:02

Josh: Anyhow, there's a South Bank bit.

9:04

Tommy: Yeah, that's the new one. So there was a police headquarters there. It was tiny, fucking tiny. And we were walking up, me mate Matt and I, and we looked in the bushes and there was a bag in there. And like my whole life I've always— I've found shitloads of money. I've found $50 20 times. Nightclubs, in the canal, just fucking driving along, saw it going past in the window, stopped. Like, I've— I look for it so I find it, right?

9:30

Josh: Are you the type to do a bit of the feeling in the vending machines for the coins?

9:34

Tommy: Oh, I used to boot them as a kid at high school. Fucking just a fly kick into it to earn a few dollars. Um, anyway, so Matt and I walking along there's this bag, black bag.

9:46

Josh: Reach over, I'd be too scared to open it.

9:48

Tommy: It was like quite a big bag, and I put— and we pulled it out and opened it up. VHS players, DVD player, fucking— this was a home. And we thought, this, yeah, robbery for sure.

10:02

Josh: Yeah.

10:03

Tommy: And so we took it straight to the cop station. I mean, it's pretty good for young 8-year-olds. I mean, it was probably the only thing we thought It's not going to take this home. And we took it there and we lodged it in. Where? As in you lodge your form.

10:20

Josh: Like, is this your squeegee story? Can I just pull apart why you've got some of the dates wrong? No one would have had a DVD player when you were 8.

10:29

Tommy: No, maybe not then. Maybe I was a bit older. Definitely not.

10:32

Josh: And no one calls it a VHS player, it's a VCR. Right. That's the only thing I have to say.

10:36

Tommy: No, good points. Good points.

10:37

Josh: DVD would have been like £2.

10:39

Tommy: 100% would have been before grade 6. So that— so that I reckon there was actually—

10:48

Josh: yes, because this kid, it would have been like 1999.

10:51

Tommy: His dad, this kid Matt, used to— his dad was a sound engineer. He had the fucking crème de la crème DVD players, had old tape players. Look that up, that's a good fact. When did—

11:03

Josh: hey Siri, When were DVD players invented? I mean, it's not ideal. My web search turned something up for when were DVD players. That's why I fucking hate Siri.

11:18

Tommy: Fuck you, Siri.

11:19

Josh: Well, I'll go into the fucking Wikipedia thing.

11:22

Tommy: Yeah, I'll continue the story. It's getting to the punchline. We, we handed this in. About a week later, got a phone call from the police. Saying the owner has come forward and they want to give you a reward. We got $50 to split between us.

11:40

Josh: How good is that? That's even better than— I guess DVD players would have— so, uh, the first DVD player was created by Sony Corporation in Taiwan in collaboration with Pacific Digital Company from United States in 1997. Okay, so, um, you would have been— '97, you would have been what, 9? 9 or 10.

12:00

Tommy: Yeah, so it could have been, say, if I was 11, there's definitely DVD players in Australia by then.

12:06

Josh: Yeah.

12:06

Tommy: And my friend's dad definitely had them, so maybe there wasn't. Maybe it's just VCRs. VCR players. Do you, um, fuck, all I remember is just like taking them out, trying to blow the dust off. Yeah, pulling it back.

12:21

Josh: Do you remember, actually, how about this? This, we are going to go very deep into our past, as in just nostalgia. Your first movie that you ever went to in the cinemas?

12:32

Tommy: Um, okay, this is the, the grandma that passed away. Yeah, that we got the cash to go over to Bali. This is— I just remember this, going to see Space Jam. Remember Michael Jordan was in it?

12:46

Josh: Yeah, Space Jam was great. Feels late. When was Space Jam?

12:50

Tommy: Yeah, but my memory's not as sharp as yours. I've fucking been to too many goings.

12:53

Josh: Mine was The Lion King at Dandenong Plaza. And I had the weirdest thing happen a few, like 3 nights ago. I like, for whatever reason, I think, this is fucking weird. I was looking at, my iPhone was on charge and I was using a battery charger for it. Like one of those sort of portable things. And it has a flashing light. And no joke, this is what happened. I was going to bed because I was using that one because I was too lazy to plug into the power. Outlet, and I looked at that light, I blinked, and I was— I just saw this real like quick moment of me at Dandy Plaza watching Lion King.

13:37

Tommy: Interesting.

13:38

Josh: Real fucking weird. So it got me thinking, maybe there was, maybe there was some sort of light that was identical or something.

13:47

Tommy: That fucking, fucking bizarre.

13:49

Josh: It's just like it was a weird moment where I just like, oh, that Why did I just think of that then?

13:53

Tommy: Do you have, what's your oldest memory?

13:56

Josh: I don't know.

13:58

Tommy: It's a hard one, like, 'cause, yeah. I think there's like.

14:01

Josh: It's always trauma, isn't it? I remember falling off my bike and I had, it was next to us. Broken bike. Well done. It's a reference to a previous episode. In joke, get in. And actually that's a fucking good punchline, get in.

14:18

Tommy: Get in.

14:19

Josh: That can be out, like, you know, driving you home, get in. Fucking get in. Get in on it. Oh, fucking get in, mate. Kenny, come on, just come in. Get in. Your mum won't mind.

14:29

Tommy: Get in. Kenny, you fucking drive it.

14:31

Josh: Come on, got some lollies. Um, did that ever happen to you? Very quickly, ever have a stranger try and kidnap you? Yeah. Okay, either. But, um, glad that went somewhere. The, uh, oh fuck, this is where my head goes everywhere really quickly on kidnap. Someone said the other day Can an adult be kidnapped?

14:55

Tommy: Yes. Okay, 100%.

14:57

Josh: Kidnap.

14:59

Tommy: Oh, sorry. Yes. Um, fuck, you have got me.

15:05

Josh: Yeah, I thought like, yeah, people get kidnapped all the time, but kidnapped. True.

15:12

Tommy: Adult doesn't—

15:13

Josh: it doesn't work. But no, I remember like abducted riding That works. Yeah. I was riding my bike, fell off the bike next to the sandpit with gravel. So, just on my face.

15:25

Tommy: Oh, yeah.

15:25

Josh: I had like a basically scab moustache. Oh. And I just remember it was Christmas time and we were meant to be going to see Christmas lights. I remember being, I remember my auntie and mum being really annoyed at me because I didn't want to. I was like so, I remember they made me feel really bad for being so vain because I had this thing and I didn't want anyone to see. Like, Josh, it's fine, you look fine. Here I am with like a fucking half a nose, like just hanging.

15:54

Tommy: Um, here's the thing, Bodhi, I film a lot of his life, my son. I look at my, like, I've got photo albums at my mom's place.

16:05

Josh: Yeah.

16:05

Tommy: And I look at the photos and I fucked my mind up because I sometimes think that I remember that moment Yeah, when you just remember the picture. Yeah, when I just remember the picture. Yeah, but I— but imagine kids growing up now that have had everything recorded.

16:21

Josh: People just— your memories just merging. Totally does all this weird shit.

16:24

Tommy: Hey, I've got, you know, I've got footage of Bodhi the first time that he's come into the world. It's crazy.

16:32

Josh: Like, man, this is also the thing that's been freaking me out lately is Facebook has Facebook Memories. I thought everyone knew about this until we were speaking to a— fuck— client.

16:45

Tommy: That's Josh's computer.

16:46

Josh: Sorry about that. The— see, this is— we're just talking before about— you told me I need to take my Apple Watch off because every time if I get a notification, it's the equivalent of having a stroke while talking and I can't handle it. But I'm going to try and stay in the moment. Uh, we were talking, remember we were talking to Jack Post the other day, the other, the third person in Hamish and Andy Show, and I was telling him about Facebook Memories. He didn't even fucking know about Facebook Memories.

17:14

Tommy: What, just in general didn't know?

17:15

Josh: Yeah, he was like, oh, what, what's the— maybe you weren't there, but he was like, oh, what, what is that? I'm like, it will tell you, like, he mustn't post that much at all.

17:24

Tommy: Okay.

17:24

Josh: But anyway, what's been freaking me the fuck out is, and I've been, I've sent you one or two of these examples where now your fucking phone's going. Yeah, this wouldn't happen on a fucking—

17:37

Tommy: this is the difference between that number is one short.

17:41

Josh: This has been happening all the time.

17:43

Tommy: Let's answer it. Hello?

17:47

Josh: Hi sir, this side is Eric, and how are you doing today?

17:50

Tommy: Um, I'm good, Eric.

17:52

Josh: Who—

17:52

Tommy: where are you calling from? I'm calling you from the focus group, and the reason behind my call is that Since you know the mortgage prime rate has been revised.

18:02

Josh: Sorry, just— That is so weird.

18:05

Tommy: Do you know what? So that's the reason I said that was because in Australia you've got what, 4, how many numbers? 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. 10 digits for a mobile number and that was 9 digits.

18:20

Josh: But this is happening.

18:21

Tommy: How the fuck does that work?

18:22

Josh: This is happening now, I think, because I think I've had someone's email signature, that I called the other day.

18:29

Tommy: Yeah.

18:30

Josh: And I'm pretty sure, I'm just like over on my phone into the history, I'm sure that I called a number that was one digit short and it freaked me the fuck out and I kept like going back and forth.

18:43

Tommy: That was fucking weird. That is weird.

18:45

Josh: That one's probably, so there's mobile number spoofing.

18:50

Tommy: Is there?

18:51

Josh: So, phone spoofing.

18:53

Tommy: Phone spoofing.

18:54

Josh: So, what you can do, it's— I think it's easier to do in the US, but there's all these services where, yeah, you can basically trick— You can say that you're from any number.

19:05

Tommy: That's fucked up.

19:06

Josh: Yeah. So, you could—

19:08

Tommy: He's definitely a scammer. Maybe not, maybe just trying to—

19:11

Josh: Oh, just— He's probably a fucking— Yeah, I'm guessing he is.

19:14

Tommy: Anyway, Jack Post didn't know about—

19:16

Josh: The memories, Facebook memories, but what has been freaking me out is that Everything seems to be happening in cycles where like I'll tell you a storey or I'll mention something or it's a topic and then the next day on Facebook Memories I've done a status like 4 years earlier on the exact same thing talking about the same topic.

19:37

Tommy: Fuck. Maybe you were just super predictable. Like they just had you.

19:42

Josh: I think maybe I only have the same. So, I reckon because I'm not really sure about what the Uh, I did it again. I looked at my phone. I'm sorry.

19:51

Tommy: That's when Josh gets a bit, uh, uh, he's looking at his phone.

19:55

Josh: We should just ban— like, we should ban— I should have.

19:58

Tommy: Yeah, but, um, I would not be surprised if you said to me, Tommy, I fucking just look at this, and I, and I get closer to you, and you just peel off your scalp. Yeah, and it's—

20:15

Josh: there's nothing there.

20:16

Tommy: No, it's a fucking alien's brain.

20:19

Josh: A robot.

20:20

Tommy: Like a robot. Do you think that would be surprised with that brain stuff? You would be a robot, a robot tweaking out fucking saying tweets that you feel like.

20:30

Josh: I feel like I'd be more optimised than that. You never know.

20:32

Tommy: You could have been an early adopter. You walking through the school with your teachers. Yeah, outsmarted every other kid.

20:39

Josh: Yeah, you were too.

20:39

Tommy: You were well ahead of your years. You were 28 when you were 4.

20:44

Josh: Yeah, it's funny, isn't it? The, um, uh, we've, we've got to share a couple, like a few nostalgic stories. Uh, one that I was thinking, like, definitely can relate to your, um, drink, uh, the vending machine type of thing.

20:58

Tommy: Fly kicking the vending machine.

21:00

Josh: Yeah, I used to, at my primary school, if you press 2 buttons at once, you'd get 2 drinks.

21:04

Tommy: Shit, yeah.

21:05

Josh: That was a really big one. Fucking loved that. I remember Dad used to always give me a dollar to buy licorice, and licorice was only 5 cents.

21:15

Tommy: Is this black licorice or red licorice?

21:17

Josh: Yeah, black licorice, because red licorice was 10 cents. Okay. Extra 5 cents for that shit. But I used to just eat so— I would eat so much of it too. I was just like—

21:29

Tommy: And so, what was the point of that story?

21:31

Josh: Just a bit of nostalgia. Fucking hell. This is—

21:33

Tommy: Now, that took it too far.

21:35

Josh: You went off topic to tell me That you used to eat licorice as a kid? Did you ever do Ovaltineys?

21:43

Tommy: Yeah, they were around.

21:44

Josh: They were whack.

21:45

Tommy: They were fucking whack. Yeah. It was like, it's like Milo that's been compressed into little things.

21:50

Josh: Tablets or whatever.

21:51

Tommy: Tablets.

21:51

Josh: Pills.

21:52

Tommy: It's bullshit.

21:53

Josh: Did you ever really hurt yourself at school?

21:56

Tommy: Mate, I—

21:56

Josh: Fall off the monkey bars and rip your fucking—

21:58

Tommy: Can you see that scar there?

22:00

Josh: It's a belly button, you idiot.

22:01

Tommy: Nah, nah, next to my belly button.

22:02

Josh: Okay.

22:03

Tommy: I jumped up on a fence and there was a fucking piece of metal sticking out the fence. Then I jumped down off the fence and it ripped me guts.

22:13

Josh: I never was in dangerous enough situations for anything to, to happen.

22:18

Tommy: I told you the storey on this podcast about me breaking my arm, not at school though.

22:21

Josh: Oh yeah, you bent it.

22:22

Tommy: Bent it. Oh, like it's called bowed. It literally looks like a fucking bow, bow and arrow.

22:28

Josh: Let's talk about recommendations. What are you consuming at the moment? YouTube videos, Books.

22:34

Tommy: I'm big on, um, I am big on How You Built This.

22:40

Josh: Yeah, podcast.

22:41

Tommy: Yeah, I'll just, uh, it's called, um, fuck, I can't remember, I can't see the name. How I Built This.

22:52

Josh: Yeah, it's awesome.

22:53

Tommy: It's by, I think, NPR, and it's all about the storeys behind business owners, and I'm talking Chipotle Um, Wikipedia, the dude who started Wikipedia. Quick fact, this might get you into it. So Wikipedia, what do you reckon out of, say, out of 5 top website traffic in the world? So what website's getting the most traffic in the world, the top 5?

23:17

Josh: Oh, like you want me to guess?

23:18

Tommy: Yeah, just guess because you know this kind of shit. Yeah, who's coming in number 1? I can't remember, but just guess.

23:25

Josh: I'll do— I'll just name 5 that would be in the top 5.

23:27

Tommy: Yeah.

23:27

Josh: Wikipedia, YouTube, Google, um, maybe like some sort of fucking Chinese one.

23:35

Tommy: One more, you'll get that, and that's the top 5. One more, you missed one more that you—

23:39

Josh: I mean, Facebook, I was thinking.

23:40

Tommy: That's it. Yeah, top 5 is those.

23:43

Josh: The, uh, I don't think I mentioned 5.

23:44

Tommy: An Asian search engine. Yeah, uh, I don't— I can't remember. I can't remember too. Yeah, but all those dudes, so Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg's worth $70 billion or something.

23:56

Josh: Yeah, a lot of money.

23:57

Tommy: The guys that sold YouTube, they made half a billion each, early days when they sold it to Google.

24:03

Josh: Don't even know if it was that much.

24:04

Tommy: Oh yeah, no, half a billion. That's what they said.

24:07

Josh: Yeah.

24:07

Tommy: Do you know the net worth of the dude who started WikiLeaks? His name's Jimmy, Jimmy Wales. Jimmy Wales' net worth, who has the 5th most visited website in the world.

24:18

Josh: I reckon probably $200,000.

24:20

Tommy: No, he's estimated a million bucks.

24:22

Josh: Million bucks. So he's just a developer wage. He's literally— that's what happens, right? This is where all this, um, you know, open source, open sort of, you know, it's the, uh, you— these guys are like, it's, it's an open platform, which is better for the world, but it means that he's not making as much coin.

24:42

Tommy: Just to tie back to nostalgia, Jimmy, um, Jimmy Wales, the dude who started Wikipedia, said And I'm only a couple, like 10 minutes into it. And he said that he loved reading anything he could get. And he got this encyclopedia. And the way he got the encyclopaedia was a door-to-door salesman came around, knocked on the door and sold encyclopaedia to his mum, hard copies. Do you remember that shit happening?

25:09

Josh: I remember. So I think I've got one here. Give me a sec. It's not encyclopedia, Just walk— we're just in my home office at the moment. But maybe, oh, you know what, we may have chunked it out. So, I had, I remember when I was freelancing as a kid and I made like a bunch of coin, I had a bit of cash. Yeah. And I was so pumped with it. We had this, we had this international student come past that was like a painter. He was selling his paintings. Bought one off him for $100. $100? Yeah.

25:46

Tommy: Fucking $100. Oh, parting with $100 at your front door.

25:51

Josh: Yeah, as a kid.

25:52

Tommy: That dude.

25:53

Josh: I felt like a fucking baller too. I was just like, yeah, bro, just fucking rip it out. Just, and then fucking mum gets home. Josh, what have you fuck— What have you done here? Whose painting's this? I bought it, mum. I'm a fucking art collector. She's like, no, you're not. You can't even fucking keep your bedroom clean, you idiot. And you still owe us money for your G5. That sort of shit.

26:15

Tommy: Did you actually buy—

26:17

Josh: I bought a painting. I mean, this would have still been—

26:19

Tommy: Have you got it somewhere?

26:20

Josh: Literally. So, I remember my nana, I told my nana about it and she, for a Christmas gift or whatever, she got it fucking put on a can— like it was canvas and she got it stretched onto a onto like a fucking frame. Don't know where, I'm sure, I think we ended up chucking it because real fucking, it got faded and shit.

26:40

Tommy: Fuck, that's a good hustle by that dude.

26:42

Josh: Yeah, but it's clever because it was in, we used to live in Lysterfield South, which was like a little bit fancy pants when it comes to southeast suburbs, suburbs. So he, yeah, he would have just been doing the rounds, just being—

26:53

Tommy: That's a big, that's a big summer cash for back then at the front door. I remember they were bringing around This is— remember Yakult?

27:02

Josh: Yeah, I wasn't a Yakult kid.

27:04

Tommy: Early days of Yakult. My mom didn't buy them like that. I don't know. Yakult. Okay, how do you say it?

27:10

Josh: Yakult. Yakult.

27:13

Tommy: Yeah, Yakult. It's basically cult. It's like fucking yogurt, cultured milk, some weird shit. Anyway, they— when they first launched, I remember them doing taste tests at front doors, and so they would come to ours and And they did that and they, and we got a, we got like a bunch of them to try at the door. That marketing, that's gone a bit.

27:34

Josh: Yeah.

27:34

Tommy: People, because people hate the fuck, hate people at the house now.

27:37

Josh: What about the soft drinks that you'd get delivered in the glass bottles?

27:40

Tommy: I never did that.

27:41

Josh: I never, you weren't a soft drink family.

27:43

Tommy: Suburb thing.

27:44

Josh: Yeah. We got like the Golden, whatever it was, you know, you'd get a fucking subscription and you'd get all the soft stuff. Yeah, I know what they are.

27:51

Tommy: Fuck, we never got that.

27:52

Josh: The, um, just before we go, cause we're going to, we're trying to be tight on time as well. You got to pick came up soon. But new social network.

28:02

Tommy: It is the most complicated. If that takes off.

28:05

Josh: Vero.

28:06

Tommy: Vero or Vero?

28:07

Josh: Vero? Maybe Vero.

28:09

Tommy: V-E-R-O.

28:10

Josh: A bunch of people on it already. Isn't it fucking funny that Instagram, all these things have sort of created this FOMO effect? So, I remember being on Instagram early days. And like, you fucking— you do get— people get off. You get off with being like early adopters on shit. And so every man and his dog wants to— like, you put this in the same basket as the little bit of your brain that said you should have gotten Bitcoin.

28:35

Tommy: Yeah.

28:36

Josh: And it's like, oh, it's free, I better just be on it. Some interesting notes though.

28:40

Tommy: Yeah.

28:41

Josh: Uh, saw someone screen grab— they just posted it, so I haven't been able to verify it. I haven't bothered verifying it yet, but, uh, Vero will get royalty-free rights to your images and things like that. So if you're a creator, maybe think twice about posting on there.

28:58

Tommy: Interesting.

28:59

Josh: Also, um, fuck, like the, uh, it's been started by this billionaire Lebanese dude maybe whose dad was the president. I'm fucking royally fucking this up. Anyway, good though. Apparently there was, um, they've had some humanitarian, questionable humanitarian sort of things happening. So within the startup Not the start, but within this guy's family and he's now started this thing and it's just like, ah, ethics might not be there. I don't know.

29:28

Tommy: But all in all, it's a fucking bit of an ugly app, isn't it?

29:32

Josh: It's just like dark and it's like, I've posted the first thing. Do you know what I like about it though? What? That you can select friends or acquaintances and stuff like that. So I was getting off on being like, ooh, do I consider this person a friend?

29:44

Tommy: I can't even tell you how I can find people. It's not intuitive. I think that's the thing about Facebook. They've had their time to just make it so intuitive. Like, I remember early days, shit pissing me off. But now Facebook, Instagram, just, it makes everything make so much sense.

30:00

Josh: Because they've manipulated your brain.

30:02

Tommy: Totally. But I think it's hats off to them for being able to—

30:06

Josh: Hats off? Hats off and access to my brain.

30:08

Tommy: Yeah.

30:09

Josh: Yeah. Um, the Daily Talk Show. I've got someone to accept. Nicole, I've just accepted you. I'm going to put her down as a point.

30:15

Tommy: No one cares about what you're talking about.

30:17

Josh: Anyway, the Daily Talk Show, we— You can email us hi@thedailytalkshow.com and we haven't— We've just been sort of getting our groove, really, isn't it? Like, I still feel like there's an opportunity. We've put no real structures around this, but I can see us dialling this in. I think that the Krispy Kreme episode, which is episode 48 away.

30:42

Tommy: Fuck, I'm looking forward to that.

30:43

Josh: Yeah, that one, that's gonna be sick.

30:45

Tommy: Live from Krispy Kreme.

30:47

Josh: And so, we'll do like a— Yeah, no, but we're gonna also put it out live on our streams and shit. So, that'll be exciting. So, give us feedback though.

31:21

Tommy: Back with less nostalgia.

31:24

Josh: A little bit more. I think we do one more day.
