Ever wondered what happens behind the curtain of a daily real estate vlog? Join us for an exclusive peek into the machinery that powers our morning broadcasts that have been running consistently for more than five years.
From humble beginnings with just a tripod and dining table, we've built an impressive media operation that includes a purpose-built $60,000+ "Green Room" studio complete with professional lighting on tracks, sound insulation, and hidden technology. But perhaps more fascinating is our mobile setup - a fully-equipped broadcasting station built into a car with custom window tinting, perfect lighting, and even silk backdrop curtains that allow us to broadcast from anywhere.
The technical aspects are just part of the story. Broadcasting daily at 7:45am across 14 different platforms has transformed our team's communication skills and created an unexpected business advantage. Clients who visit our office are intrigued by the visible studio, which naturally opens conversations about our media presence and commitment to staying at the forefront of industry communication. The content we create lives forever online, serving as a searchable resource that continues helping people with their real estate questions years after initial broadcast.
What started as an experiment has become an integral part of our business identity, reaching millions of viewers monthly and even serving as a source for mainstream media outlets. Whether you're interested in creating your own content or simply curious about what goes into making a daily broadcast happen, this behind-the-scenes look demonstrates the power of consistency and the unexpected rewards that come from showing up every single day.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
okay, people do ask they're interested.
Five years more, six years,there was there's what.
200 working days a week, everysingle day 745 live.
We do real estate vlogs talkingabout current affairs.
(00:23):
How do we do it?
Speaker 2 (00:25):
stay tuned, we're going to give you a behind the
(01:03):
scenes I'm the ringleader buthow you need to get local, on
the ground insight.
Every day, every working day,monday to Friday, 7.45 am, and
it's live, it's not prerecorded.
I'm sitting here in the studio,you're at home in the car,
you're in the studio on the roadand every morning, I've got a
(01:28):
mobile studio we're going toshow you through.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Billy's got a stationary studio, a green room.
He's going to show you throughhow it works, what we do.
Um, bill, what did you think ofit when you first like, when
you first heard of it?
You're like really every day.
Well, you know, and I said,bill, come, we've got to do this
with us as well.
So you do Monday, tuesday, thenwe've got Josh that does
Wednesday, then we've got Cleothat does Thursday and Michael
(01:54):
Berger that does Friday.
What did you think when I said,billy, you've got to come on
two days a week.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
I saw it as the perfect opportunity for the
Novak story to continue todevelop with a new character,
because I was not the originalfounding of the Morning Minutes.
I inherited it as a bigresponsibility.
When Michael Bergio steppedaside but has now come back,
that was, that was the mainthing for me.
I thought what an awesomeopportunity to get out there,
share what we're doing everymorning, um, speak with the
community.
But I didn't realize the thingthat surprised me the most was
(02:31):
how much it helped me, as thehost, educate myself on the
topic I was talking about andhave a chat with with with
friends, colleagues, industry,as guests as well yeah, amazing.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Seriously amazing.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Yeah, I love it.
I love it.
I'm up every morning, mondayand Tuesday, and it's the two
days of the week I'm on time towork, with no questions and you
used to do it in your breakfast.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
You're eating your porridge in the morning.
Okay, now we're going to takeyou behind the scenes.
First of all, I do have to say,before we do, my original
motivation of this was I wastaught that stuff should be
episodic and what we actually dois not only as a fixed time,
it's on events that were top ofmind for that day or that week.
(03:26):
That would assist people.
Interest rates going up,interest rates going down, um,
you know we were doing thisthrough covid, um.
You know, and also what Iactually found is that everyone
that I brought on umconsistently has has been very
comfortable with that process.
So what they've done is they'vebecome comfortable with the
camera, comfortable with talkingto people.
Now, when the camera's notthere and you're comfortable
(03:48):
with talking to people, you'recomfortable with talking with
people.
So it actually took everyone toa new height, to a new level,
um.
And then there was thetechnology technology side of it
where we had to work out,because what people don't know
is not only is it a live show,but actually broadcasts out to
about 14 channels.
So it goes out, um, it goes outto tiktok, it goes out to
(04:11):
linkedin, goes out to linkedinlive.
It goes out to facebook live.
It doesn't just go to onechannel.
It goes to billy's channel, tomy channel, to my business
channel, to novak businesschannel, facebook.
It goes to Instagram never um.
It goes to Instagram umrecorded.
It goes to Instagram.
(04:31):
Mark Novak recorded another twochannels.
So this thing it's, and if youlook at it you go like that you
know it lives there forever,right?
So even five years later, thetopic's still relevant.
Uh, people are still, you know,looking, looking, how do I do?
How do I do this, how to dothat?
And then when you look at eachindividual channel and you
(04:53):
consolidate all of those views,you know it's millions per month
.
It's actually scary.
And, billy, you're a witness,you can you go to a real estate
conference in Queensland andpeople feel comfortable with you
.
It's really weird.
It's like, you know, I even hada couple of people say to me I
can't believe I met Billy.
What a nice guy he's just likehe's on.
(05:15):
He's just like he is on the andit's like that they can
identify you with you.
It's the strangest thing.
It's the strangest and viceversa.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Like I get to, I get to um shout out people like luke
maroney who are tuning in oneof my favorites, one of the og
podcast listeners and and uhstream yard viewers.
So there's some really somereally good, um you know,
partnerships built on the backof it.
So let's take you behind thescenes.
(05:43):
Now, as mark said, I'm here inthe fixed studio, the, the
stationary one.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
It's a sixty thousand dollar investment from the
business to bring this to you,um, it's and it started with a
dining room table and a tripod,and then it just, and then it
was like this crazy idea, we'regoing to build this room.
And then it just, and then itwas like this crazy idea, we're
going to build this room.
And then it just kept going andgoing and going and it was
actually, um, to be honest, evenmore than 60.
I feel stupid to tell you howmuch it really cost, but um, 60s
(06:09):
, 60s, uh was, as was as much asI pushed it.
Tell us more bill, okay.
So in front of me, usually canwe start outside just to give a
bit of perspective, like, showus the front door of the office,
and we're going to pull up thatscreen in a second.
So we've got the front door ofthe office there, okay.
(06:31):
So people walk up those threestairs the front door's closed
at the moment.
They walk up there.
There's a bar.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Correct, there's a bar behind me.
This is our reception desk, socoffee machine.
Four meter antipasto bar thatyou can see the fridges in the
back.
There's a correct me if I'mwrong six meter screen.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Nine meter by three meter LED screen.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
She's a whopper so you can see the um yeah that
whatever we've got on the show,whatever we've got on the screen
on the date is, is just running.
Um, yeah, this is.
This is the reception.
So you've got stools at the bar.
You've got a little bit morecomfy seating here for guests
that are waiting on something,and then tucked around that
corner.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
There you go right there, okay.
So tucked around that cornerwas an open area.
Let's open that screen up bill.
So we built this room.
It's called that, we call itthe green room, but there's a
screen there that we use forconferencing because there's a
conference table in front of it,a steel table, and that little
room is what?
Three meters by two meters,three meters by one and a half
(07:40):
yeah, so tv on the wall there.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Yeah, this actually comes up.
So it's dual purpose, becausefor the times that I've got a
boardroom meeting going, I cansit with clients or show them
something there, and then theother times I've got it as a
panel insulating the green roomso it's all grass inside there,
ceiling floor wall yeah, grass,yeah.
(08:03):
Now we've got four sets oflighting, two at the front which
have spotlights to um, do theback here, yep, okay one above
your head yep, yeah, big one,big one there, which really just
does everything from back, andthen your spotlights in the roof
as well, um, which is reallycool.
Um, all the arms are on, um,adjustable up and down scissor
(08:29):
lift as well the equivalent ofthat is close yeah so what's
holding?
Speaker 1 (08:35):
what's holding all these is um these lights,
they're all.
They're all on tracks.
There's like tracks on the onthe ceiling and the.
Those lights can slide up anddown the tracks yeah, so there's
a lever there and down, up, updown, and then there's power
(08:56):
points in the ceiling yeah, yeah, power points up there there's
also power um board here,because you can never have too
much power.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yeah, um, we um only recently got aircon in here as
well, so there's aircon up there.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
It was a little bit of a hot box before we did put a
fan, but it didn't do a goodenough job.
So when we put the fan in, wewere realizing, when you have
the lights in the fan and then,um, after a year or two, it's
like man, we're gonna do more,we're gonna put more fans or
aircon yeah, now we've got a.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Uh, I thought we had one of our special guests here
at the door, but we don't.
I'll go back.
Um, we've got seating for two,because often we've got a guest
either streaming in virtually orsitting next to us.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
So that's, that's pretty cool so white, green,
green, because we've.
We can put a background behindus when we're, of anything we
want.
So we can.
Now you can cast onto greenbetter than any other color in
the world.
So, believe it or not, red orany other color, no good.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Green is perfect for virtual backgrounds yeah, now
people ask you know, do you usea big fancy camera?
That's actually an iphone andit's got um piece of tech called
cam link which sort of worksits way through a cord into the
computer.
So that is the camera and thatallows us to do things remotely.
So I can either stream in frommy phone, as I'm doing right now
(10:24):
, or that is the camera,streaming in generally 720p
quality, um here and you'redoing the same side.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
we used to have a five thousand dollar camera, but
when they get old they need tobe changed to a hell of a lot of
money, and we found it wasbetter to have that camera tech
like an iPhone and just swap itout every year, and the camera
was still worth something theyear it was being sold.
(10:55):
So it's been a much moreefficient, crisper, cleaner way
to run our daily vlogs.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yeah, Monitor's pretty stock standard.
There's DJI mics so we can takethe microphones out and
actually hook up to that if youneed it.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Can you show us?
One Yep can do so little fellaturn it on, put on your lapels,
stick it in front of you,whatever you want.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Yeah, that's right.
So it just sits something likethat on the jacket.
Everything's always powered.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
While you're touring, I might even make that screen
on your side a bit bigger, Bill.
Yeah can do, do, oh, that's you.
Can you do you?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
uh, they aren't.
No, we've only got the two ofus, that's all right.
Um, yeah, mouse track, padkeyboard and that's it.
And that's all being held up bya big pole in the middle,
taking all the weight like adancing pole.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
What's the white chair doing in there?
Speaker 2 (12:02):
spectator's chair yeah, or or sit in, the sit in
there nice and quiet and makesome calls now and I'm gonna
take.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
But another thing I wanted to mention was the reason
why you can actually look intothe room with that television
was when we that table behindbilly the steel table is where a
lot of up is probably thebusiest table in the office so
clients will come in sit downhave a coffee.
Now when they see into thegreen room, they're like what's
(12:31):
that for what?
What?
What are you doing there?
And we're like, oh yeah, socialmedia.
We do media and it opened updialogue with landlords, with
tenants, with buyers, withsellers about social media.
So people actually reallyenjoyed the topic and it was
part of our sales process andpart of our rentals process.
(12:52):
So people saw that, like youguys treat yourself seriously
when it comes to social media.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Yeah, all right, now the final bit of the behind the
scenes, and we will admit, thisis only a week old.
It's taken us six years to getto this part, but we have what
we feel like made our biggestadvancement with our.
I'm now going in behind thescenes to show you what's behind
the green room, and it's all inhere, this little black box.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
It is a single door you walk into, which is actually
a loo, and then in the wall isbuilt in is there's a lot of the
um, microphones, computer, allthe messy stuff.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Yeah, so we've got a mac Mac pc running all of this.
Yeah, this cord here that'slabelled phone cam.
That's basically the iPhoneturning into the camera.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
We've got the yeah four-metre-long cable going
through metal four-metre-longcable.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Yeah, the monitor right there, Four-metre-long
cable, four-metre-long cable.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
There's a big summer speaker in there we missed but
yep, that's in there in thecorner.
That so you can.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
So you can hear the person that you're talking to
yep a lot of a lot of thecabling is concealed in the, in
the ceiling, um, and that's whatkeeps the green room quite
clean.
Um, it's all insulated,air-conditioned, it's pimped out
and obviously got high speedinternet in there as well, and
that's it.
That is like the behind thescenes that's the, that's the
(14:28):
engine room of this uh operation.
It's one half and um it justsits in there.
You'd never know it unless yougo looking for it.
And um, that's it.
Mark mark is loving it.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
There you go looking for it, and that's it.
Mark is loving it.
There you go.
Please, you should have a go,man, she loves my technology.
Man, yeah, there's the speakerup there.
Yeah, up in the corner.
You want to see my setup everyday?
Yeah, go, okay.
So Lisa, yeah, go, okay.
So Lisa knows it.
(15:05):
Yeah, so I've got a car set up,so, basically, so I'm going to
jump out and I'll start from the.
I'll start.
Actually, let me open up thewindow here we go, Okay, okay,
(15:26):
so set up, so there's, can yousee that?
So there's a little tintedpiece of of tint there, so I
don't get any glare.
I never drive, though everyone.
Just so you know, just so Ipull over and there's the.
There's the um iphone monitoryep and then, and then there's a
(15:49):
little.
I'll pull this thing down here.
Don't get any glare.
And then in the back, in theback there's a curtain of the
car, wow.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (15:58):
silk, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's Queen's Queen of
Queen's silk from China, 4,000years old, wow.
And then there's this little,it's like a, it's like a dry, a
clothes hanger and it sits up inthere like that, and then that
that sits across.
So so basically you just, youknow, just looks a a bit crispy.
(16:21):
You can't see any dodgy set up.
And then there's a little blindhere, nice, there's a little
blind there, like so it all justblinds off, yeah.
Then then, um, there's a hit myhead, so there's a, there's
(16:47):
your light, so you're bright,otherwise, if you turn it off,
oh, we've lost you.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Maybe you turned it off.
Oh, there you go, gone black.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Okay, so if you turn off that light you can't really
see the real estate agent much.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
No, it's pretty dark, put it on a light.
Yeah, see, oh, nice Okay.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Yeah, stunning.
And then there's an iPhone.
Yeah, I'll put this back likethis.
So you've got like an iPhoneand that's mounted.
It's mounted on a suction capon the windscreen, right, and it
just goes like that.
(17:41):
And then there's your camera.
So that's my camera and that'smy mic.
But what people don't realiseis cars have excellent
insulation, so you know, becausethey're soundproof from the
road, so they're naturally likea really good quiet environment
to have a chat in.
Yeah, and that's it.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
With all that's it, with all the tech, uh, with all
the streaming services.
It allows us to get out topeople a little bit easier, but
the labor does not change andthis is the glamorous part.
Um, I actually I actuallystayed here overnight just in
preparation for this morning'sepisode.
Not really stayed hereovernight, just in preparation
(18:25):
for this morning's episode, notreally, but there has been a few
episodes done on a few hourssleep.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
I'll tell you that.
Well, yeah, you know, doing itevery day, um for five years
like this is um, it's been, yeah, it's been scary.
It's there you go.
We are committed to the cause,though.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
We are your local real estate reporter To real
estate.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
I mean it's a real estate and I've got to tell you
the amount of times we'll becontacted by mainstream media.
Yesterday I was talking toYahoo News off the back of what
we do.
They're like hey, we'rewatching this, can you give us
some more information?
So that information that we'veactually been putting out is
often fed out to mainstreammedia as well.
(19:02):
It's pretty incredible.
But, like I think the mainthing is, even if you just
Google that information, you'vegot that handy for whatever you
want.
You know first-time buyer stuff, repairs, maintenance, tax time
for a landlord, like we come upbecause we're very searchable
and it helps people.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Yep, and that's the nice thing it's, it's the team.
Jonathan creek said it best.
It's like a story and withchapters, new characters are
introduced and you get to followpeople's.
You know time in the business.
So there you go, love it yeahtomorrow, you can stream in and
(19:41):
find out what the agents aredoing on a Saturday and what
they have for breakfast.
Definitely, definitely.
There you go.
Speaker 1 (19:49):

There's a correct me if I'mwrong six meter screen.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Nine meter by three meter LED screen.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
She's a whopper so you can see the um yeah that
whatever we've got on the show,whatever we've got on the screen
on the date is, is just running.
Um, yeah, this is.
This is the reception.
So you've got stools at the bar.
You've got a little bit morecomfy seating here for guests
that are waiting on something,and then tucked around that
corner.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
There you go right there, okay.
So tucked around that cornerwas an open area.
Let's open that screen up bill.
So we built this room.
It's called that, we call itthe green room, but there's a
screen there that we use forconferencing because there's a
conference table in front of it,a steel table, and that little
room is what?
Three meters by two meters,three meters by one and a half
(07:40):
yeah, so tv on the wall there.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Yeah, this actually comes up.
So it's dual purpose, becausefor the times that I've got a
boardroom meeting going, I cansit with clients or show them
something there, and then theother times I've got it as a
panel insulating the green roomso it's all grass inside there,
ceiling floor wall yeah, grass,yeah.
(08:03):
Now we've got four sets oflighting, two at the front which
have spotlights to um, do theback here, yep, okay one above
your head yep, yeah, big one,big one there, which really just
does everything from back, andthen your spotlights in the roof
as well, um, which is reallycool.
Um, all the arms are on, um,adjustable up and down scissor
(08:29):
lift as well the equivalent ofthat is close yeah so what's
holding?
Speaker 1 (08:35):
what's holding all these is um these lights,
they're all.
They're all on tracks.
There's like tracks on the onthe ceiling and the.
Those lights can slide up anddown the tracks yeah, so there's
a lever there and down, up, updown, and then there's power
(08:56):
points in the ceiling yeah, yeah, power points up there there's
also power um board here,because you can never have too
much power.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yeah, um, we um only recently got aircon in here as
well, so there's aircon up there.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
It was a little bit of a hot box before we did put a
fan, but it didn't do a goodenough job.
So when we put the fan in, wewere realizing, when you have
the lights in the fan and then,um, after a year or two, it's
like man, we're gonna do more,we're gonna put more fans or
aircon yeah, now we've got a.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Uh, I thought we had one of our special guests here
at the door, but we don't.
I'll go back.
Um, we've got seating for two,because often we've got a guest
either streaming in virtually orsitting next to us.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
So that's, that's pretty cool so white, green,
green, because we've.
We can put a background behindus when we're, of anything we
want.
So we can.
Now you can cast onto greenbetter than any other color in
the world.
So, believe it or not, red orany other color, no good.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Green is perfect for virtual backgrounds yeah, now
people ask you know, do you usea big fancy camera?
That's actually an iphone andit's got um piece of tech called
cam link which sort of worksits way through a cord into the
computer.
So that is the camera and thatallows us to do things remotely.
So I can either stream in frommy phone, as I'm doing right now
(10:24):
, or that is the camera,streaming in generally 720p
quality, um here and you'redoing the same side.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
we used to have a five thousand dollar camera, but
when they get old they need tobe changed to a hell of a lot of
money, and we found it wasbetter to have that camera tech
like an iPhone and just swap itout every year, and the camera
was still worth something theyear it was being sold.
(10:55):
So it's been a much moreefficient, crisper, cleaner way
to run our daily vlogs.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yeah, Monitor's pretty stock standard.
There's DJI mics so we can takethe microphones out and
actually hook up to that if youneed it.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Can you show us?
One Yep can do so little fellaturn it on, put on your lapels,
stick it in front of you,whatever you want.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Yeah, that's right.
So it just sits something likethat on the jacket.
Everything's always powered.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
While you're touring, I might even make that screen
on your side a bit bigger, Bill.
Yeah can do, do, oh, that's you.
Can you do you?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
uh, they aren't.
No, we've only got the two ofus, that's all right.
Um, yeah, mouse track, padkeyboard and that's it.
And that's all being held up bya big pole in the middle,
taking all the weight like adancing pole.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
What's the white chair doing in there?
Speaker 2 (12:02):
spectator's chair yeah, or or sit in, the sit in
there nice and quiet and makesome calls now and I'm gonna
take.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
But another thing I wanted to mention was the reason
why you can actually look intothe room with that television
was when we that table behindbilly the steel table is where a
lot of up is probably thebusiest table in the office so
clients will come in sit downhave a coffee.
Now when they see into thegreen room, they're like what's
(12:31):
that for what?
What?
What are you doing there?
And we're like, oh yeah, socialmedia.
We do media and it opened updialogue with landlords, with
tenants, with buyers, withsellers about social media.
So people actually reallyenjoyed the topic and it was
part of our sales process andpart of our rentals process.
(12:52):
So people saw that, like youguys treat yourself seriously
when it comes to social media.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Yeah, all right, now the final bit of the behind the
scenes, and we will admit, thisis only a week old.
It's taken us six years to getto this part, but we have what
we feel like made our biggestadvancement with our.
I'm now going in behind thescenes to show you what's behind
the green room, and it's all inhere, this little black box.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
It is a single door you walk into, which is actually
a loo, and then in the wall isbuilt in is there's a lot of the
um, microphones, computer, allthe messy stuff.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Yeah, so we've got a mac Mac pc running all of this.
Yeah, this cord here that'slabelled phone cam.
That's basically the iPhoneturning into the camera.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
We've got the yeah four-metre-long cable going
through metal four-metre-longcable.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Yeah, the monitor right there, Four-metre-long
cable, four-metre-long cable.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
There's a big summer speaker in there we missed but
yep, that's in there in thecorner.
That so you can.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
So you can hear the person that you're talking to
yep a lot of a lot of thecabling is concealed in the, in
the ceiling, um, and that's whatkeeps the green room quite
clean.
Um, it's all insulated,air-conditioned, it's pimped out
and obviously got high speedinternet in there as well, and
that's it.
That is like the behind thescenes that's the, that's the
(14:28):
engine room of this uh operation.
It's one half and um it justsits in there.
You'd never know it unless yougo looking for it.
And um, that's it.
Mark mark is loving it.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
There you go looking for it, and that's it.
Mark is loving it.
There you go.
Please, you should have a go,man, she loves my technology.
Man, yeah, there's the speakerup there.
Yeah, up in the corner.
You want to see my setup everyday?
Yeah, go, okay.
So Lisa, yeah, go, okay.
So Lisa knows it.
(15:05):
Yeah, so I've got a car set up,so, basically, so I'm going to
jump out and I'll start from the.
I'll start.
Actually, let me open up thewindow here we go, Okay, okay,
(15:26):
so set up, so there's, can yousee that?
So there's a little tintedpiece of of tint there, so I
don't get any glare.
I never drive, though everyone.
Just so you know, just so Ipull over and there's the.
There's the um iphone monitoryep and then, and then there's a
(15:49):
little.
I'll pull this thing down here.
Don't get any glare.
And then in the back, in theback there's a curtain of the
car, wow.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (15:58):
silk, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's Queen's Queen of
Queen's silk from China, 4,000years old, wow.
And then there's this little,it's like a, it's like a dry, a
clothes hanger and it sits up inthere like that, and then that
that sits across.
So so basically you just, youknow, just looks a a bit crispy.
(16:21):
You can't see any dodgy set up.
And then there's a little blindhere, nice, there's a little
blind there, like so it all justblinds off, yeah.
Then then, um, there's a hit myhead, so there's a, there's
(16:47):
your light, so you're bright,otherwise, if you turn it off,
oh, we've lost you.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Maybe you turned it off.
Oh, there you go, gone black.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Okay, so if you turn off that light you can't really
see the real estate agent much.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
No, it's pretty dark, put it on a light.
Yeah, see, oh, nice Okay.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Yeah, stunning.
And then there's an iPhone.
Yeah, I'll put this back likethis.
So you've got like an iPhoneand that's mounted.
It's mounted on a suction capon the windscreen, right, and it
just goes like that.
(17:41):
And then there's your camera.
So that's my camera and that'smy mic.
But what people don't realiseis cars have excellent
insulation, so you know, becausethey're soundproof from the
road, so they're naturally likea really good quiet environment
to have a chat in.
Yeah, and that's it.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
With all that's it, with all the tech, uh, with all
the streaming services.
It allows us to get out topeople a little bit easier, but
the labor does not change andthis is the glamorous part.
Um, I actually I actuallystayed here overnight just in
preparation for this morning'sepisode.
Not really stayed hereovernight, just in preparation
(18:25):
for this morning's episode, notreally, but there has been a few
episodes done on a few hourssleep.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
I'll tell you that.
Well, yeah, you know, doing itevery day, um for five years
like this is um, it's been, yeah, it's been scary.
It's there you go.
We are committed to the cause,though.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
We are your local real estate reporter To real
estate.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
I mean it's a real estate and I've got to tell you
the amount of times we'll becontacted by mainstream media.
Yesterday I was talking toYahoo News off the back of what
we do.
They're like hey, we'rewatching this, can you give us
some more information?
So that information that we'veactually been putting out is
often fed out to mainstreammedia as well.
(19:02):
It's pretty incredible.
But, like I think the mainthing is, even if you just
Google that information, you'vegot that handy for whatever you
want.
You know first-time buyer stuff, repairs, maintenance, tax time
for a landlord, like we come upbecause we're very searchable
and it helps people.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Yep, and that's the nice thing it's, it's the team.
Jonathan creek said it best.
It's like a story and withchapters, new characters are
introduced and you get to followpeople's.
You know time in the business.
So there you go, love it yeahtomorrow, you can stream in and
(19:41):
find out what the agents aredoing on a Saturday and what
they have for breakfast.
Definitely, definitely.
There you go.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
