What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
It has been a troubling 20 minutes and the last 30 seconds has been pretty wild too. Wow. What's happening? You're going to leave that in, are you? No, I'm not. No. Okay. I'm just saying what happened just before I hit record has to be edited out.
I swore in sympathy for your plight, mate.
No, thank you, man.
I appreciate it. I appreciate it. I wouldn't have dropped the F-bomb if it wasn't for you being so frustrated over there. Trevor's a really cool, calm sort of person. Should I learn to meditate or something? I think so, yeah. Yeah. I don't have the time to meditate. It sounds like something that's going to take a lot of time. Trevor's like a Model S. He goes zero to 100 in a couple of seconds. Wow. On social media. Yeah. I've done some replying lately. When things don't go your way, yeah, they're a bit – I thought I was bad. I thought I'm pretty – I'm not a clicker, but you're a clicker. What do you mean? So you just go, you can go from zero to anger in a lot. Yeah.
I learned that from the best.
Yeah.
Some of the best in the business. I understand.
Okay.
Right. Can we, I mean, in theory, this should be a private show conversation, but just in terms of fashion, we've got this blue here, we've got this blue here. Can you put your hand right here for me? What's doing here? What is this? You've gone mad buying watches.
This is unbelievable. Matching my shirt. What's happened to you? I don't know. I'm wearing an Apple watch. I'm wearing a ring. So that's getting all my metrics. And I think a smartwatch. I don't know. I just want to take that off.
I want to look at it.
Just a change. Yeah, just a change.
Yeah.
I love that dial.
That's a beautiful dial.
Yeah.
What, my dial? Thanks, mate. But how about the watch? Look at this. Stephen's doing – this is his I'm a grandfather present, isn't it? No, it's not actually.
And it's – It's not a Rolex or anything, but, you know.
Mate, this is the thing. I don't know what that is. There might be a couple of fakes in my – Yeah, I mean, I'll be – It's Alexander Liege. Can I be a watchnark?
Yeah.
It's a tinny band. It's the cheapest band. Tinny band. But I don't care. It's not an expensive watch. No, that's – okay. Not an expensive watch. $350? Less. Yeah, see that? Yeah, yeah.
So I love it for that because look at that.
That's a face. It's beautiful.
It's really nice, yeah. And it was a two for one. So the other one I've got has got like a rose gold, sort of light rose gold appearance to it. Mate, that's gorgeous. Big fan. I'll be rolling them out, including my fake Rolexes too.
Yeah, I know. I can't do that. I can't buy a fake something.
Well, they were sort of an offer made, you know.
You've been suckered by the Instagram advertising algorithm, haven't you? It's just bashed me up, yeah. Yeah. Bashed me up and spat me out. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah, had to buy a bigger watch holder.
Yeah. You know, those little things. What do you call them? Look at those down there.
Had to buy a big one of those things. But you know what, I'm thinking it's one less screen I've got to look at. That's how I'm looking at it now. It's one less screen. And my phone, I turn on my notifications on it now. I never used to do that when I had a watch. In fact, it was one time sort of getting back into the analogue watches and I was taking my mum to the airport. She went to Melbourne for a wedding. and I was driving along, but I didn't have – I swapped phones that morning, I think back to a Samsung, and I didn't have any notifications on. So that was the morning that Hayley's water broke, and she's ringing me seven times, and I'm sort of checking my mum in at the airport. And I got back in the car, and obviously it came through, and she goes, why aren't you etching your phone?
I went, oh, I'm sorry. Was it Joe or Hayley? It was Joe.
Oh, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And, mate, you knew what the call, when you saw seven missed calls, you knew what was happening. But I didn't. I never, because I had it in my back pocket. When you opened your phone, it went, oh, my God.
Yeah. But then she said, well, how come you haven't rung it? It's not like me to not answer a call, right?
