"He lies Rabs, all the gear and no idea."
Well, it seems Jules and I have sorted out what's going on my tombstone. So that's one thing ticked off the list.
This was one of those classic Podvan chats that went everywhere and nowhere all at once. We talked about the weird and wonderful world of online comment sections, whether our phones are actually reading our minds, and the new TV show that has Julie thinking about wrapping people in tarps (I'm watching my back).
If you love a chat that feels like you're eavesdropping on two mates having a laugh, you'll love this.

Rabbit podcast with Rabbit. I'm Rabbit.
I record this podcast inside a cute little retro caravan from
1967 that I tore around all overthe place.
Fan podcast with Rabbit. Hey, 2 quick things just before
we get started, did you know that these are video episodes
now? I mean, if you're watching this
then yes, you know that, but if you're not watching it, you
could be seeing the guests that I'm chatting to in the episode.
(00:26):
The video episodes are only available on Spotify.
And the other thing is, did you know there's a Patreon members
page? I haven't mentioned it for a
while and I've recently had a couple of people sign up saying
I didn't even know this was a thing.
So there's like over 200 bits ofbonus content in there.
There's weekly bonus episodes with Julie that are only for
Patreon members and it's 10 bucks a month.
(00:47):
So if you want to join up, you just go to podvan.com dot AU
slash members. And thank you so much for all of
your support. I really do appreciate it.
Let's get to the episode. God I'm loud in my ears it's how
annoying is that how I send to other people?
Most people that get in here do that.
I would have thought you'd be past that one.
(01:11):
It's been a few years. Isn't it?
Oh God, is this how I sound? I wrote things.
So this is my dilemma. I wrote them on the MacBook and
I thought, no, but I'm going to be using that there, so I'll
send it to my phone. I'm recording on that.
So I've had to send it to the iPad, which was flat, so I had
to charge it. Now I've got 12% battery and
(01:33):
it's not connecting to Wi-Fi. This is why.
This is why I don't bother. Well, I can see why you don't
bother. You've got all the equipment,
you can't use any of it. I believe that's known as all
the gear and no idea. That's your motto.
Do you know I just saw a thing and this is what it will?
Be your epitaph. He lies perhaps all the gear
and. And I'll probably die from
(01:58):
improper use of a power tool or something.
Oh, we know that that is writtenin the stars.
End of my tombstone, apparently.I love that you think I'm gonna
get a tombstone. Thank you.
Not just be turfed out of the boot, it's wrapped in a tap of
this back Rd. that's. A really dark, I don't even get
(02:27):
a rug like a rug. Oh.
Look, I'm watching Bay of Fires at the moment.
It's a pretty dark. So it gives you ideas like this?
Yeah. Yeah, Yeah.
Oh, that's funny. Yeah.
No. Do you know what that show's
doing? What?
So it's, it's set in Tasmania. It's fantastic.
It's fantastic, actually great TV.
If you haven't watched it, it's it's the second season, Bay of
(02:48):
Fires, Bay of Fires. There's a whole big storyline
that has happened in the past couple of episodes that are all
about, and it's rolling out now,mushroom poisoning.
No. I'm like, oh, this is
interestingly timed. Can you imagine the producers of
the show just going to go oh. No.
(03:10):
Oh no. Oh, this is amazing.
Well, this is coming out at the same time I.
Guess if they think like me or if they think like you.
Well, they think like me, they'll end up rolled up at the
top of the back Rd. somewhere. Exactly.
Apparently. All again, no idea.
Yeah. One of the things that I
actually saved from this morningthat I wanted to share,
(03:30):
honestly, I did. It may sync up and then I'll
find it and actually be able to show it maybe, which would be
good. But we both follow this guy
online and love his stuff. I remember when I sent it to
you, when I discovered it, I thought, oh God, this is so
Julie kind of gear and you'll love it.
And I sent it to you and like, ohh.
And you just went ohh, I love him.
Nathan W Pyle. Ohh which ones he what's he do?
(03:53):
The aliens that OHH talk. They just, they just say what we
do in very plain English. But they're little aliens just
trying to find their way around humanity.
And so, you know, they'll be sitting at the breakfast table
saying I am sustaining myself with small discs of cardboardish
wheat. Yeah.
(04:15):
Yes, you are. That's exactly it.
It's so hard to do. Kind of how aliens would
describe us if they were lookingat us from space.
Yeah, you know. It's so, so clever.
That's so funny and a big thing I've started doing recently and
I'm really enjoying it and I reckon I could almost do a whole
podcast series called from the comments Section I.
(04:40):
I could too, but it might be a different kind of podcast right
now. Might be the happy, lighthearted
thing you're looking for, Rabs. So you've got the name of the
podcasters from the comments section and the subtitle Go Fuck
Yourselves. Cover photo.
I'm not. Sure.
(05:03):
How much of that I'm going to edit.
So in the comments section of oflike on his page, it's all his
kind of people, which I would put you as one of those, but I
wouldn't put me as one of those.OK.
Because the way you, yeah, very smart with your words and even
(05:23):
the way I try and describe that you, you're very, I'm thinking,
is it eloquent? Is it, is it?
What's the what's you're very smart with your words.
I have the best words. Nobody has words like me.
I was brought up on Billy T James married comedian in New
Zealand. OK.
And you know, big part of his shtick would be he'd try and say
(05:47):
a big word, you know, Oh, it's really difficult.
It's it's it's it's it's really hard to do.
And so I was brought up on that Jill.
OK, so it sort of got. Ingrained Blame Billy T James.
Yeah, yeah, OK. Where I don't bother going for
the big words 'cause it's funnier.
It's. It's really hard to do.
And so reading the comments section of the like the aliens
(06:12):
post and the people that write it, they're your kind of people,
wordsmiths. The thing that I don't know, it
completely passed me by and I had no idea.
But maybe you know about it Life.
The news. Current Affairs.
Politics. Fashion.
(06:32):
Why do I jump on board with these things?
You start and I'm like oh this is fun.
It takes about 5 seconds and I forget we're like talking about
me, that guy Nathan W Pyle and his Oh yes and his aliens.
It was made into ATV show. Really.
Yes, and I thought it was a brand new thing, and no, it was
(06:53):
2023 and I watched the trailer for it.
It was on Apple TV. Yeah, wow.
And so funny. Well, I might have to look that
up 'cause I do love his little column.
It's really cute. Oh yeah, I'm going to watch that
TV show on TV. Look forward to your Margaret
Pomerance style. Oh yeah.
Critique. Yeah, yeah.
(07:14):
Have you seen her critiques lately?
No, she does these humorous onesnow.
So. This is Margaret and David, yes,
Yeah. And they were on SBS maybe?
Yeah, but they, they gave these really sort of hard hitting,
very serious in depth critiques of things.
Yeah, well, she's does it on herown now, but she she does like
(07:37):
Teletubbies. And it's just, it's delivered
completely deadpan, but it's freaking hilarious.
And she she talks about how, youknow, there's, you know, the
disembodied head of a human child in the sky and how they've
all got the substance abuse problem.
Problem with the substance called tubby custard and it's
just it's so funny. You should you should look up
(07:58):
doing absolutely straight and it's hilarious.
She's done play school. She's like, oh, all these shows.
Remember when was it all different celebrities were
reading the story? Go the fuck to sleep.
Oh, that started with Noni Hazlehurst.
That's right, I knew there was like a a similar.
Kind of on play school and so for her to read a bedtime story.
Do you know I went and bought that book and I asked my boys I
(08:24):
But God, they're good boys. They're.
Such good boys, you asked whether you wanted.
I said, can I read you a censor it?
No, I said, can I read you a bedtime story?
And they were teenagers and they're like, no mum.
And I said please, it would justI just I got this book today.
It's really, really beautiful. I just, if you could please just
(08:44):
sit, sit here on the couch. I won't bring it to bed, you
know, just sit on the couch. Just please let me read it to
you. And they're like.
OK. The three of them are sitting
there and I'm really, you know, this, the, you know, the stars
are in their skies and the little birds are all in their
beds and, you know, and then it's just like, God, the fuck,
(09:04):
Just like, oh, they laughed. It was so much fun.
It was so much fun. But yeah, good book.
Yeah, yeah. That's your review.
Yep. Yep, grateful.
Well, my style of review also, so on the comments section
thing, there was a thing that was posted up the other day and
(09:26):
who posted, was it New South? Yeah, NSW Police Force, they put
up a photo and I'll, I'll show you the photo.
It says man charged with drug and prohibited weapons offences.
And they've, they've put up a photo of I guess this is his
pantry. The man that was that was
charged and. And those are all like
(09:46):
Tupperware containers of his weed and ohhh, yeah.
Ohh, I thought he's got he's a Baker.
He's a there's a lot of oregano,yeah.
Oh, yeah. That's all marijuana, Julie.
And what's fun to do, because it's a digital photo, is that
(10:08):
you can, with a little pinch of the fingers, you can zoom in and
have a look at the names of someof them.
So he's actually got, maybe he is a Baker.
This one here called Cherry Pie.Oh.
My God. It's got the.
I'm not sure what the. What's the top one?
IDH, I don't have that information, but the IDH it's
(10:29):
got the levels and then it's gotTHC and then it's got is that
CBD? That's that band that did Let's
Groove. Central business district.
It's also that, yeah, I mean, it's so many things.
So it's got. So weed, apparently.
He's got all the breakdown of the of the different types.
So what? Else chemical makeup of his.
Yeah, wow. Sour Diesel, Strawberry Salt,
(10:52):
Dreadful African Buzz. That one's a sounds like a
haircut. It does.
Blue Mirror. Wow.
See, I've got containers like that one, say like walnuts, pine
nuts. Yeah, but.
Polenta. But what is it really?
And this is where you went wronga bit.
Named them Things like that. The cops sort of looked at it
(11:13):
and going, Oh yeah, OK, oregano,we've got.
Thyme, we've got you know. Oregano or oregano?
Oregano. We're Australian.
I said oregano just before I. Said Oregano.
Yeah. Oh, stop me.
If I corrected you every time you said something wrong, we'd
never get finished. A sentence you barely.
Do that's true? So then I went into the comments
(11:36):
section. Of this as you do, you break
your neck. Get into the comments on me.
Surely I'll tell you why I went straight to the comments
section, because their caption said comments have now been
turned off for this post. That's always a good sign in.
A way, what have you ever said? The top comment from Ayla is not
(11:59):
gonna lie. The OCD is kinda hot labelling
in the but my favorite and this is the one that you get, you
know, if you're ever selling anything online or whatever.
Oh, someone's just written. Is this still available?
(12:26):
I don't know why that's not the most most liked comment.
The most liked is not going to lie, the OCD is kind of hot.
So good. So that's my favorite thing at
the moment. I'm on a real thing of just with
these posts. If I see it's got a gazillion
comments, I'm like, oh, I'm in. And then yeah, just the top ones
that just deliver gold. Yeah.
(12:47):
People are so funny, man. People are funny and yeah.
You know, I think that's a big thing that's happened through
social media is that, you know, and you see these people that
get famous through TikTok and whatever.
It's given a platform to these really creative people.
Yeah, that maybe wouldn't have had that before.
It was the same with like, you know, idle and the voice and all
(13:11):
those. Kind of, yeah, Master.
Chef, I don't know if you've seen that one, but.
Yeah, it's. A platform.
It is. Well, it's a it's a pathway that
didn't previously exist. Yeah.
Right. So, yeah.
And it does. That's that's the thing about
social media is it gives you access to all different kinds of
people. Yeah.
And that's why you sort of got to curate your feed because
there's too many people putting stuff up.
(13:33):
Oh yeah. I mean you could spend your
whole life looking through stuffand not get through it all have.
You been to Guandalin Bowling Club?
They're right there on the shores of Lake Macquarie.
They do delicious meals upstairsin the Four Shore Bistro and
Cafe which is run by the Dish Catering Group.
So you know it's good stuff and you can dine out on the balcony
looking out over the lake. It is beautiful.
(13:55):
They got the cute little 4 shorekiosk for a coffee and snacks
right by the jetty. The entertainment's top notch.
They got Friday night seafood, good raffles and Sunday sessions
with live music in the beer garden.
You want to find out what's happening at the club, check out
their Facebook page or visit gwandalanbowlingclub.com dot AU.
King Kumper might a Chan have been big supporters of the pod
(14:16):
band podcast right from the start, and you get all the stuff
from them that you'd expect to. You get plans, you get all the
Weber stuff, you get all the steel gear, the amazing
principal kitchens, but it's thestuff that you don't expect
like. That a customer come in with
46,000 colour sample swatches speaking colour for her kitchen
cupboards. I drew a little down to 4
colours for her and that took him out an hour and a half.
(14:39):
She got very emotional because she was so inundated with
colours. Towards the end she was kind of
picking up the colours again. I said no stop.
I've seen photos, seen videos. Her husband's come in and gave
me a big hug, saying thank you so much because you're getting
very emotional about it and she's super happy.
That's what she got. And the mighty helpful King
Campbell, Mind again. Podcast with Rabbit.
(15:02):
The algorithm has gone so good lately at giving you what you're
into. I don't know about that.
Sometimes some really weird sideways stuff comes up on my
algorithm and I'm like why is this for me?
Why? Why?
Exactly. But this is, I mean, maybe you
(15:22):
need to. Yeah, look in with Julie.
This. Is some real sick and twisted
stuff. I'm gonna watch all of it.
Yeah. And then 'cause it's so
interesting. I don't understand.
Apparently it even can clock when you sort of pause the
scroll slowly down long enough. Yeah, I, I've gone from, well,
(15:43):
it's obviously listening to me because things are coming up
that I've just talked about thatI haven't Googled, I haven't
searched online, I haven't done anything on my phone, but I sit
and have a chat with Mick about something completely new, like
something we need to renovate. But you know, what do you reckon
if we do XY and Z on the House, the next thing I pick up my
(16:03):
phone and there's ads for it andthat's it.
There's just ad after ad and I'mlike, oh, I don't like that.
Well, I. Well, do you cause?
Well, no. You're actually, but you are
actually interested in the thingcould have and there, there it
is, straight there for you. To me and then delivering it to
me and then occasionally, I haven't even said it to Mick yet
and it turns out, oh, Are you ready in my mind?
(16:24):
I will tell you right now that you I've said for forever, just
give me a chip in my head so I don't have to do the typing.
And all that processor up there,it'd be great.
That's the problem. They're gonna put a chip in my
head and they go, oh, you're running an old Commodore 64.
You. Need a cassette?
(16:47):
Where do we keep the floppy disks?
Don't ask. Longer than usual.
Elon Musk is actually doing at the moment.
It's called Neurolink and it's areal thing and it's already
there. And it probably burst into
(17:07):
flames. Well, certainly hope not.
I watched a whole massive video on it the other day about
Neurolink and how it's being used.
And you will actually love this.Geez, I tell you what, it's
perfect timing him bringing thisstuff out after he was on such a
great track for so long. Yeah, I mean, you still, you
know, kooky and all that and then all that happened and
(17:28):
people were wanting to burn his cars.
Yeah. And now now you're seeing
videos. Well, I am of this newer
Lincoln, how it's being used. So you've got people in
wheelchairs that have no. Oh man, even down to, you know,
no use of anything except like the eyes.
Yeah, one of them is completely non verbal as well.
Yeah. And is having conversations with
(17:49):
people through what he's thinking and then just him
thinking it outputs it through aspeech thing.
Yeah. OK, that is incredible.
And also, so you've got all these guys that have no use of
their hands and they're playing like Call of Duty.
That's what they're using it forat the moment.
(18:12):
But you know, as with all these things, then it'll filter its
way through to everyone gets oneand it's incredible the
different levels that they're going at.
So they showed their timeline of, yeah, they got to the point
of human trials and there are actually people with these in
their heads and, and using it now and that.
But they show like how much of the brain it's controlling and
(18:32):
where it can control. And they want to get to the
point where that guy in the wheelchair stands up and walks
because it's like a it could be a severed.
What is it, the spinal Colonel cord?
Yeah, which actually sends the signals if there's a way to
bridge that gap. Well, there's there's gotta be,
doesn't there? There's yeah, you could actually
(18:55):
get the signals down to the legsagain and maybe.
If you got one that could connect you to sort of language
and. Yeah, it's the thing.
Yeah, They're only so powerful at the moment.
We can get a man on Mars. But anything else is different.
It's hard to do hard bro. How did I get onto the Neuralink
(19:18):
stuff? No idea.
Now you. Started it.
You're talking. Yeah.
Oh, about how devices are alwayslistening.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, reading my mind.
Yeah, well, you won't even have to.
You won't. I've already got a neurolink.
You just speak and your phone hears you, but you won't have to
speak anymore. Spink Spink.
You won't have to Spink anymore.Spinking went out in the 1990s.
(19:39):
I didn't even. Know what that was, and I knew
nothing I wanted it doesn't comeup in my feet.
Well, now I I was going quick, we're going to invent something
for Spink. I'm gonna look it up.
That's like. Probably not safe to do.
If you haven't heard of it, it's.
(19:59):
IPad's flat What is Spink? I don't know.
I just made it up. No, no, actually, you made it
up. You said it first.
I. Think I did on air once while I
was talking about Twink in New Zealand.
White out the liquid paper Yeah,is called twink.
It's it's like the sellotape thing.
It's a brand, OK. And everyone just knows, you
know, have you got the twink? When I said it on air here, like
(20:22):
the phones lit up and people go do you know what you're saying
there? And I'm like, no.
And they're like Google it. And was that a mistake?
Yeah, well, I mean. Was that like the time when I
said on air I was talking about something I did when I was young
and I said that one time on bandcamp?
Yeah, that's right. You're legitimately just talking
about I was. Talking about that one time I
(20:43):
went on band camp and. Everyone's gone.
And then you wrote it down on a piece of paper, what the rest of
the line was and made me not read it out loud, but just read
it silently to myself. Yeah, You said I'm gonna hand
Julie the piece of paper now with the rest of that sentence
on it. And the the whole thing is that
(21:04):
I like I play clarinet. That's the problem, Clarinet.
I had a feeling you were going to to a story of some sort right
before I said Neurolink. You're talking about when things
(21:26):
pop up on your phone and you weren't even searching for the
thing. Just to read my mind and use my
mind. Yeah, no.
And it's important that I get tothe end of all of your stories
because it was brought up recently at a Pod van pod fam
gathering. Really.
But I never get to finish my story.
I think when I was up there, I gave a bit of a speech to
everyone there and just thank them all for coming along.
(21:47):
And, and this is one guy that he's been along to a few things.
His name's And every time I see him, I I'm like, whoa, that's
crazy how much he looks like Matt Tilly.
Matt Tilly. Yeah, he was on radio in
Melbourne with Joe Stanley for. Music.
And Joe, and he did got your calls for years.
(22:09):
Yeah. Yeah.
He looks just like him to me. That's my reference.
Yeah. And then on that day, he goes,
it's so funny you say that because that's not the one I
usually get. And I was like, what do you
normally get? And he said a young George Bush
senior just question. As soon as he said it, though, I
was like, oh, totally, George Bush.
(22:29):
And then he goes or Ricky Ponting.
And I was like. Oh, yes, OK, I.
Get that as well Maxwell Smart from Get Smart.
It was so funny. Saying And I was like, yeah, I
get because sometimes when people go, I get told I look
like Reese Witherspoon. Yeah, I'm like Reese with a
fork, maybe. Ohh that's so rude.
(22:59):
Spork. It's not a full spoon, but with
him, every single one, he was saying it was a whole bunch of
them. Yeah.
And so when I got up to do the speech, I called him up.
Then who does he look like? And they all called it the
different things. Oh, that's so funny.
So. Funny.
But then as part of that, I said, you know, when I'd
(23:21):
finished my spiel, said Anyone got any questions or anything,
like anything you've heard on pod van episodes that you want,
you know, to know more of or something?
And someone goes, yeah, the end to all of Julie stories.
Ohh I feel so sane. I feel appreciated, loved.
(23:44):
Thank you. I was like, oh, like which one's
there? There was one about there.
I don't know the roof racks, thecolour of the roof racks or the.
Colour, not the colour. The end of the story.
I never got to tell you the end of the.
Story We've run out of time for today, but we'll definitely do
that at some. Point podcast with Rabbit.
Rabbit podcast with Rabbit. I'm Rabbit.
I record this podcast inside a cute little retro caravan from
1967 that I tore around all overthe place.
Fan podcast with Rabbit. Hey, 2 quick things just before
we get started, did you know that these are video episodes
now? I mean, if you're watching this
then yes, you know that, but if you're not watching it, you
could be seeing the guests that I'm chatting to in the episode.
(00:26):
The video episodes are only available on Spotify.
And the other thing is, did you know there's a Patreon members
page? I haven't mentioned it for a
while and I've recently had a couple of people sign up saying
I didn't even know this was a thing.
So there's like over 200 bits ofbonus content in there.
There's weekly bonus episodes with Julie that are only for
Patreon members and it's 10 bucks a month.
(00:47):
So if you want to join up, you just go to podvan.com dot AU
slash members. And thank you so much for all of
your support. I really do appreciate it.
Let's get to the episode. God I'm loud in my ears it's how
annoying is that how I send to other people?
Most people that get in here do that.
I would have thought you'd be past that one.
(01:11):
It's been a few years. Isn't it?
Oh God, is this how I sound? I wrote things.
So this is my dilemma. I wrote them on the MacBook and
I thought, no, but I'm going to be using that there, so I'll
send it to my phone. I'm recording on that.
So I've had to send it to the iPad, which was flat, so I had
to charge it. Now I've got 12% battery and
(01:33):
it's not connecting to Wi-Fi. This is why.
This is why I don't bother. Well, I can see why you don't
bother. You've got all the equipment,
you can't use any of it. I believe that's known as all
the gear and no idea. That's your motto.
Do you know I just saw a thing and this is what it will?
Be your epitaph. He lies perhaps all the gear
and. And I'll probably die from
(01:58):
improper use of a power tool or something.
Oh, we know that that is writtenin the stars.
End of my tombstone, apparently.I love that you think I'm gonna
get a tombstone. Thank you.
Not just be turfed out of the boot, it's wrapped in a tap of
this back Rd. that's. A really dark, I don't even get
(02:27):
a rug like a rug. Oh.
Look, I'm watching Bay of Fires at the moment.
It's a pretty dark. So it gives you ideas like this?
Yeah. Yeah, Yeah.
Oh, that's funny. Yeah.
No. Do you know what that show's
doing? What?
So it's, it's set in Tasmania. It's fantastic.
It's fantastic, actually great TV.
If you haven't watched it, it's it's the second season, Bay of
(02:48):
Fires, Bay of Fires. There's a whole big storyline
that has happened in the past couple of episodes that are all
about, and it's rolling out now,mushroom poisoning.
No. I'm like, oh, this is
interestingly timed. Can you imagine the producers of
the show just going to go oh. No.
(03:10):
Oh no. Oh, this is amazing.
Well, this is coming out at the same time I.
Guess if they think like me or if they think like you.
Well, they think like me, they'll end up rolled up at the
top of the back Rd. somewhere. Exactly.
Apparently. All again, no idea.
Yeah. One of the things that I
actually saved from this morningthat I wanted to share,
(03:30):
honestly, I did. It may sync up and then I'll
find it and actually be able to show it maybe, which would be
good. But we both follow this guy
online and love his stuff. I remember when I sent it to
you, when I discovered it, I thought, oh God, this is so
Julie kind of gear and you'll love it.
And I sent it to you and like, ohh.
And you just went ohh, I love him.
Nathan W Pyle. Ohh which ones he what's he do?
(03:53):
The aliens that OHH talk. They just, they just say what we
do in very plain English. But they're little aliens just
trying to find their way around humanity.
And so, you know, they'll be sitting at the breakfast table
saying I am sustaining myself with small discs of cardboardish
wheat. Yeah.
(04:15):
Yes, you are. That's exactly it.
It's so hard to do. Kind of how aliens would
describe us if they were lookingat us from space.
Yeah, you know. It's so, so clever.
That's so funny and a big thing I've started doing recently and
I'm really enjoying it and I reckon I could almost do a whole
podcast series called from the comments Section I.
(04:40):
I could too, but it might be a different kind of podcast right
now. Might be the happy, lighthearted
thing you're looking for, Rabs. So you've got the name of the
podcasters from the comments section and the subtitle Go Fuck
Yourselves. Cover photo.
I'm not. Sure.
(05:03):
How much of that I'm going to edit.
So in the comments section of oflike on his page, it's all his
kind of people, which I would put you as one of those, but I
wouldn't put me as one of those.OK.
Because the way you, yeah, very smart with your words and even
(05:23):
the way I try and describe that you, you're very, I'm thinking,
is it eloquent? Is it, is it?
What's the what's you're very smart with your words.
I have the best words. Nobody has words like me.
I was brought up on Billy T James married comedian in New
Zealand. OK.
And you know, big part of his shtick would be he'd try and say
(05:47):
a big word, you know, Oh, it's really difficult.
It's it's it's it's it's really hard to do.
And so I was brought up on that Jill.
OK, so it sort of got. Ingrained Blame Billy T James.
Yeah, yeah, OK. Where I don't bother going for
the big words 'cause it's funnier.
It's. It's really hard to do.
And so reading the comments section of the like the aliens
(06:12):
post and the people that write it, they're your kind of people,
wordsmiths. The thing that I don't know, it
completely passed me by and I had no idea.
But maybe you know about it Life.
The news. Current Affairs.
Politics. Fashion.
(06:32):
Why do I jump on board with these things?
You start and I'm like oh this is fun.
It takes about 5 seconds and I forget we're like talking about
me, that guy Nathan W Pyle and his Oh yes and his aliens.
It was made into ATV show. Really.
Yes, and I thought it was a brand new thing, and no, it was
(06:53):
2023 and I watched the trailer for it.
It was on Apple TV. Yeah, wow.
And so funny. Well, I might have to look that
up 'cause I do love his little column.
It's really cute. Oh yeah, I'm going to watch that
TV show on TV. Look forward to your Margaret
Pomerance style. Oh yeah.
Critique. Yeah, yeah.
(07:14):
Have you seen her critiques lately?
No, she does these humorous onesnow.
So. This is Margaret and David, yes,
Yeah. And they were on SBS maybe?
Yeah, but they, they gave these really sort of hard hitting,
very serious in depth critiques of things.
Yeah, well, she's does it on herown now, but she she does like
(07:37):
Teletubbies. And it's just, it's delivered
completely deadpan, but it's freaking hilarious.
And she she talks about how, youknow, there's, you know, the
disembodied head of a human child in the sky and how they've
all got the substance abuse problem.
Problem with the substance called tubby custard and it's
just it's so funny. You should you should look up
(07:58):
doing absolutely straight and it's hilarious.
She's done play school. She's like, oh, all these shows.
Remember when was it all different celebrities were
reading the story? Go the fuck to sleep.
Oh, that started with Noni Hazlehurst.
That's right, I knew there was like a a similar.
Kind of on play school and so for her to read a bedtime story.
Do you know I went and bought that book and I asked my boys I
(08:24):
But God, they're good boys. They're.
Such good boys, you asked whether you wanted.
I said, can I read you a censor it?
No, I said, can I read you a bedtime story?
And they were teenagers and they're like, no mum.
And I said please, it would justI just I got this book today.
It's really, really beautiful. I just, if you could please just
(08:44):
sit, sit here on the couch. I won't bring it to bed, you
know, just sit on the couch. Just please let me read it to
you. And they're like.
OK. The three of them are sitting
there and I'm really, you know, this, the, you know, the stars
are in their skies and the little birds are all in their
beds and, you know, and then it's just like, God, the fuck,
(09:04):
Just like, oh, they laughed. It was so much fun.
It was so much fun. But yeah, good book.
Yeah, yeah. That's your review.
Yep. Yep, grateful.
Well, my style of review also, so on the comments section
thing, there was a thing that was posted up the other day and
(09:26):
who posted, was it New South? Yeah, NSW Police Force, they put
up a photo and I'll, I'll show you the photo.
It says man charged with drug and prohibited weapons offences.
And they've, they've put up a photo of I guess this is his
pantry. The man that was that was
charged and. And those are all like
(09:46):
Tupperware containers of his weed and ohhh, yeah.
Ohh, I thought he's got he's a Baker.
He's a there's a lot of oregano,yeah.
Oh, yeah. That's all marijuana, Julie.
And what's fun to do, because it's a digital photo, is that
(10:08):
you can, with a little pinch of the fingers, you can zoom in and
have a look at the names of someof them.
So he's actually got, maybe he is a Baker.
This one here called Cherry Pie.Oh.
My God. It's got the.
I'm not sure what the. What's the top one?
IDH, I don't have that information, but the IDH it's
(10:29):
got the levels and then it's gotTHC and then it's got is that
CBD? That's that band that did Let's
Groove. Central business district.
It's also that, yeah, I mean, it's so many things.
So it's got. So weed, apparently.
He's got all the breakdown of the of the different types.
So what? Else chemical makeup of his.
Yeah, wow. Sour Diesel, Strawberry Salt,
(10:52):
Dreadful African Buzz. That one's a sounds like a
haircut. It does.
Blue Mirror. Wow.
See, I've got containers like that one, say like walnuts, pine
nuts. Yeah, but.
Polenta. But what is it really?
And this is where you went wronga bit.
Named them Things like that. The cops sort of looked at it
(11:13):
and going, Oh yeah, OK, oregano,we've got.
Thyme, we've got you know. Oregano or oregano?
Oregano. We're Australian.
I said oregano just before I. Said Oregano.
Yeah. Oh, stop me.
If I corrected you every time you said something wrong, we'd
never get finished. A sentence you barely.
Do that's true? So then I went into the comments
(11:36):
section. Of this as you do, you break
your neck. Get into the comments on me.
Surely I'll tell you why I went straight to the comments
section, because their caption said comments have now been
turned off for this post. That's always a good sign in.
A way, what have you ever said? The top comment from Ayla is not
(11:59):
gonna lie. The OCD is kinda hot labelling
in the but my favorite and this is the one that you get, you
know, if you're ever selling anything online or whatever.
Oh, someone's just written. Is this still available?
(12:26):
I don't know why that's not the most most liked comment.
The most liked is not going to lie, the OCD is kind of hot.
So good. So that's my favorite thing at
the moment. I'm on a real thing of just with
these posts. If I see it's got a gazillion
comments, I'm like, oh, I'm in. And then yeah, just the top ones
that just deliver gold. Yeah.
(12:47):
People are so funny, man. People are funny and yeah.
You know, I think that's a big thing that's happened through
social media is that, you know, and you see these people that
get famous through TikTok and whatever.
It's given a platform to these really creative people.
Yeah, that maybe wouldn't have had that before.
It was the same with like, you know, idle and the voice and all
(13:11):
those. Kind of, yeah, Master.
Chef, I don't know if you've seen that one, but.
Yeah, it's. A platform.
It is. Well, it's a it's a pathway that
didn't previously exist. Yeah.
Right. So, yeah.
And it does. That's that's the thing about
social media is it gives you access to all different kinds of
people. Yeah.
And that's why you sort of got to curate your feed because
there's too many people putting stuff up.
(13:33):
Oh yeah. I mean you could spend your
whole life looking through stuffand not get through it all have.
You been to Guandalin Bowling Club?
They're right there on the shores of Lake Macquarie.
They do delicious meals upstairsin the Four Shore Bistro and
Cafe which is run by the Dish Catering Group.
So you know it's good stuff and you can dine out on the balcony
looking out over the lake. It is beautiful.
(13:55):
They got the cute little 4 shorekiosk for a coffee and snacks
right by the jetty. The entertainment's top notch.
They got Friday night seafood, good raffles and Sunday sessions
with live music in the beer garden.
You want to find out what's happening at the club, check out
their Facebook page or visit gwandalanbowlingclub.com dot AU.
King Kumper might a Chan have been big supporters of the pod
(14:16):
band podcast right from the start, and you get all the stuff
from them that you'd expect to. You get plans, you get all the
Weber stuff, you get all the steel gear, the amazing
principal kitchens, but it's thestuff that you don't expect
like. That a customer come in with
46,000 colour sample swatches speaking colour for her kitchen
cupboards. I drew a little down to 4
colours for her and that took him out an hour and a half.
(14:39):
She got very emotional because she was so inundated with
colours. Towards the end she was kind of
picking up the colours again. I said no stop.
I've seen photos, seen videos. Her husband's come in and gave
me a big hug, saying thank you so much because you're getting
very emotional about it and she's super happy.
That's what she got. And the mighty helpful King
Campbell, Mind again. Podcast with Rabbit.
(15:02):
The algorithm has gone so good lately at giving you what you're
into. I don't know about that.
Sometimes some really weird sideways stuff comes up on my
algorithm and I'm like why is this for me?
Why? Why?
Exactly. But this is, I mean, maybe you
(15:22):
need to. Yeah, look in with Julie.
This. Is some real sick and twisted
stuff. I'm gonna watch all of it.
Yeah. And then 'cause it's so
interesting. I don't understand.
Apparently it even can clock when you sort of pause the
scroll slowly down long enough. Yeah, I, I've gone from, well,
(15:43):
it's obviously listening to me because things are coming up
that I've just talked about thatI haven't Googled, I haven't
searched online, I haven't done anything on my phone, but I sit
and have a chat with Mick about something completely new, like
something we need to renovate. But you know, what do you reckon
if we do XY and Z on the House, the next thing I pick up my
(16:03):
phone and there's ads for it andthat's it.
There's just ad after ad and I'mlike, oh, I don't like that.
Well, I. Well, do you cause?
Well, no. You're actually, but you are
actually interested in the thingcould have and there, there it
is, straight there for you. To me and then delivering it to
me and then occasionally, I haven't even said it to Mick yet
and it turns out, oh, Are you ready in my mind?
(16:24):
I will tell you right now that you I've said for forever, just
give me a chip in my head so I don't have to do the typing.
And all that processor up there,it'd be great.
That's the problem. They're gonna put a chip in my
head and they go, oh, you're running an old Commodore 64.
You. Need a cassette?
(16:47):
Where do we keep the floppy disks?
Don't ask. Longer than usual.
Elon Musk is actually doing at the moment.
It's called Neurolink and it's areal thing and it's already
there. And it probably burst into
(17:07):
flames. Well, certainly hope not.
I watched a whole massive video on it the other day about
Neurolink and how it's being used.
And you will actually love this.Geez, I tell you what, it's
perfect timing him bringing thisstuff out after he was on such a
great track for so long. Yeah, I mean, you still, you
know, kooky and all that and then all that happened and
(17:28):
people were wanting to burn his cars.
Yeah. And now now you're seeing
videos. Well, I am of this newer
Lincoln, how it's being used. So you've got people in
wheelchairs that have no. Oh man, even down to, you know,
no use of anything except like the eyes.
Yeah, one of them is completely non verbal as well.
Yeah. And is having conversations with
(17:49):
people through what he's thinking and then just him
thinking it outputs it through aspeech thing.
Yeah. OK, that is incredible.
And also, so you've got all these guys that have no use of
their hands and they're playing like Call of Duty.
That's what they're using it forat the moment.
(18:12):
But you know, as with all these things, then it'll filter its
way through to everyone gets oneand it's incredible the
different levels that they're going at.
So they showed their timeline of, yeah, they got to the point
of human trials and there are actually people with these in
their heads and, and using it now and that.
But they show like how much of the brain it's controlling and
(18:32):
where it can control. And they want to get to the
point where that guy in the wheelchair stands up and walks
because it's like a it could be a severed.
What is it, the spinal Colonel cord?
Yeah, which actually sends the signals if there's a way to
bridge that gap. Well, there's there's gotta be,
doesn't there? There's yeah, you could actually
(18:55):
get the signals down to the legsagain and maybe.
If you got one that could connect you to sort of language
and. Yeah, it's the thing.
Yeah, They're only so powerful at the moment.
We can get a man on Mars. But anything else is different.
It's hard to do hard bro. How did I get onto the Neuralink
(19:18):
stuff? No idea.
Now you. Started it.
You're talking. Yeah.
Oh, about how devices are alwayslistening.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, reading my mind.
Yeah, well, you won't even have to.
You won't. I've already got a neurolink.
You just speak and your phone hears you, but you won't have to
speak anymore. Spink Spink.
You won't have to Spink anymore.Spinking went out in the 1990s.
(19:39):
I didn't even. Know what that was, and I knew
nothing I wanted it doesn't comeup in my feet.
Well, now I I was going quick, we're going to invent something
for Spink. I'm gonna look it up.
That's like. Probably not safe to do.
If you haven't heard of it, it's.
(19:59):
IPad's flat What is Spink? I don't know.
I just made it up. No, no, actually, you made it
up. You said it first.
I. Think I did on air once while I
was talking about Twink in New Zealand.
White out the liquid paper Yeah,is called twink.
It's it's like the sellotape thing.
It's a brand, OK. And everyone just knows, you
know, have you got the twink? When I said it on air here, like
(20:22):
the phones lit up and people go do you know what you're saying
there? And I'm like, no.
And they're like Google it. And was that a mistake?
Yeah, well, I mean. Was that like the time when I
said on air I was talking about something I did when I was young
and I said that one time on bandcamp?
Yeah, that's right. You're legitimately just talking
about I was. Talking about that one time I
(20:43):
went on band camp and. Everyone's gone.
And then you wrote it down on a piece of paper, what the rest of
the line was and made me not read it out loud, but just read
it silently to myself. Yeah, You said I'm gonna hand
Julie the piece of paper now with the rest of that sentence
on it. And the the whole thing is that
(21:04):
I like I play clarinet. That's the problem, Clarinet.
I had a feeling you were going to to a story of some sort right
before I said Neurolink. You're talking about when things
(21:26):
pop up on your phone and you weren't even searching for the
thing. Just to read my mind and use my
mind. Yeah, no.
And it's important that I get tothe end of all of your stories
because it was brought up recently at a Pod van pod fam
gathering. Really.
But I never get to finish my story.
I think when I was up there, I gave a bit of a speech to
everyone there and just thank them all for coming along.
(21:47):
And, and this is one guy that he's been along to a few things.
His name's And every time I see him, I I'm like, whoa, that's
crazy how much he looks like Matt Tilly.
Matt Tilly. Yeah, he was on radio in
Melbourne with Joe Stanley for. Music.
And Joe, and he did got your calls for years.
(22:09):
Yeah. Yeah.
He looks just like him to me. That's my reference.
Yeah. And then on that day, he goes,
it's so funny you say that because that's not the one I
usually get. And I was like, what do you
normally get? And he said a young George Bush
senior just question. As soon as he said it, though, I
was like, oh, totally, George Bush.
(22:29):
And then he goes or Ricky Ponting.
And I was like. Oh, yes, OK, I.
Get that as well Maxwell Smart from Get Smart.
It was so funny. Saying And I was like, yeah, I
get because sometimes when people go, I get told I look
like Reese Witherspoon. Yeah, I'm like Reese with a
fork, maybe. Ohh that's so rude.
(22:59):
Spork. It's not a full spoon, but with
him, every single one, he was saying it was a whole bunch of
them. Yeah.
And so when I got up to do the speech, I called him up.
Then who does he look like? And they all called it the
different things. Oh, that's so funny.
So. Funny.
But then as part of that, I said, you know, when I'd
(23:21):
finished my spiel, said Anyone got any questions or anything,
like anything you've heard on pod van episodes that you want,
you know, to know more of or something?
And someone goes, yeah, the end to all of Julie stories.
Ohh I feel so sane. I feel appreciated, loved.
(23:44):
Thank you. I was like, oh, like which one's
there? There was one about there.
I don't know the roof racks, thecolour of the roof racks or the.
Colour, not the colour. The end of the story.
I never got to tell you the end of the.
Story We've run out of time for today, but we'll definitely do
that at some. Point podcast with Rabbit.
