Speaker: Hello, welcome to The
Daily-ish for Monday, October,
00:00:09.606 --> 00:00:12.182
nope, November 2nd, 2026.
00:00:12.582 --> 00:00:14.651
I'm Chris, and I'm recording
an episode every day for this,
00:00:14.651 --> 00:00:15.854
my 50th year on the planet.
00:00:16.254 --> 00:00:18.985
Doing the lazy version with
the, for the YouTube folks with
00:00:18.988 --> 00:00:20.615
the cheaper webcam anyways.
00:00:21.015 --> 00:00:24.467
Hockey has started up again for
my middle kids, and, uh, it's,
00:00:24.540 --> 00:00:26.248
it's something I enjoy genuinely.
00:00:26.332 --> 00:00:30.390
Uh, but I still feel chilled from
being in the hockey rink last night
00:00:30.444 --> 00:00:32.742
and, uh, trying to warm up today.
00:00:33.142 --> 00:00:36.638
It's pretty gray and dreary,
uh, and foggy, which is b- which
00:00:36.638 --> 00:00:38.144
was really cool for Halloween.
00:00:38.144 --> 00:00:42.070
Made for a really, uh, atmospheric
Halloween on the weekend.
00:00:42.094 --> 00:00:45.988
But, uh, now it feels like it's,
looks-- because it looks colder, it
00:00:45.988 --> 00:00:47.647
feels colder, if that makes any sense.
00:00:48.047 --> 00:00:49.843
For anyone paying attention
to the numbering, I did miss
00:00:49.844 --> 00:00:51.485
yesterday's episode again on Sunday.
00:00:51.502 --> 00:00:55.353
I think that might just be a regular
thing I'll build into the system, 'cause
00:00:55.354 --> 00:00:59.787
I feel like a day break is kind of
good, healthy, yeah, keeps me out of my
00:00:59.787 --> 00:01:02.882
office and on my computer on a Sunday.
00:01:02.966 --> 00:01:05.798
Not that I'll never do a Sunday
episode, but I think that'll
00:01:05.807 --> 00:01:07.097
be the routine going forward
00:01:07.497 --> 00:01:10.245
As far as the podcast itself,
I'm still genuinely enjoying it.
00:01:10.246 --> 00:01:12.394
I look forward to getting
to record every day.
00:01:12.396 --> 00:01:13.807
I look forward to publishing it every day.
00:01:13.807 --> 00:01:17.136
I look forward to even editing myself
every day, which is a weird thing to do.
00:01:17.536 --> 00:01:22.063
And I think it's just that, uh,
repetition, muscle memory, doing it
00:01:22.250 --> 00:01:25.996
s- consistently, or, I mean, almost
consistently six days out of seven.
00:01:26.196 --> 00:01:29.352
it just becomes a lot easier to do,
which then makes it more fun to do.
00:01:29.352 --> 00:01:32.047
It's not as much of a brain block
to come up with things to talk
00:01:32.058 --> 00:01:34.388
about because my brain is always
thinking about those things.
00:01:34.565 --> 00:01:39.125
Not that it never happens, but I genuinely
feel like the ability to just turn on
00:01:39.125 --> 00:01:43.969
the mic and record and talk about a
thing has been made so much easier by the
00:01:43.969 --> 00:01:45.499
fact that I'm just doing this every day.
00:01:45.539 --> 00:01:49.436
I have this public accountability of
sorts to do it every day, I still get
00:01:49.490 --> 00:01:51.872
a little bummed out sometimes when I'm
like, "Oh, I think this is a really
00:01:51.873 --> 00:01:55.834
good episode or a really good topic or a
really good guest maybe or whatever that's
00:01:55.835 --> 00:01:57.246
gonna move the needle on the numbers."
00:01:57.247 --> 00:02:00.992
And like having the, the podcast, like
I said before, on YouTube helps for just
00:02:00.992 --> 00:02:04.672
like a little bit of the dopamine of
like, okay, that topic talked about Apple
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:08.003
being expensive or whatever kinda went
off a little bit more than some of the
00:02:08.003 --> 00:02:09.628
other episodes, and that makes sense.
00:02:09.651 --> 00:02:12.722
And, it doesn't really move the needle
in terms of subscribers to the actual
00:02:12.727 --> 00:02:17.721
podcast directly, But yeah, having that
YouTube kinda outlet, I guess, I think
00:02:18.091 --> 00:02:22.147
helps just in terms of getting a little
bit more exposure to the podcast just
00:02:22.147 --> 00:02:26.182
to help the, the, the numbers side of
my brain that sometimes wants to, wants
00:02:26.183 --> 00:02:29.715
it to be worthwhile in terms of viewers
or numbers or downloads or whatever
00:02:30.115 --> 00:02:33.304
And I just put out a call to some
friends in, in the Discord and stuff
00:02:33.305 --> 00:02:37.381
that I'm in for future guests and got
a couple of people who, uh, willingly
00:02:37.382 --> 00:02:40.348
signed up to be guests on the future So
that'll be something to look forward to
00:02:40.548 --> 00:02:44.458
As all this has added up to sort of
feel like it's a, a fun, easy thing
00:02:44.459 --> 00:02:48.347
to slot into, gives me opportunity
to talk with different folks without
00:02:48.359 --> 00:02:51.326
having the pressure of like w-
scheduling it and thinking about it
00:02:51.383 --> 00:02:54.921
and planning it all out exactly how
it's gonna happen this one time.
00:02:55.321 --> 00:02:55.876
So who knew?
00:02:55.906 --> 00:03:00.189
I guess doing something consistently over
and over again helps make it easier to do.
00:03:00.239 --> 00:03:02.677
I've never heard that
idea before in my life.
00:03:03.323 --> 00:03:06.659
' Cause it definitely parallels, uh, in
the mornings, most mornings, again, not
00:03:06.659 --> 00:03:10.430
always on weekends, but most mornings
I I get up and do a, a bit of a walk on
00:03:10.430 --> 00:03:15.545
the treadmill, and then also take Neville
for a walk outside later, and I've now
00:03:15.546 --> 00:03:20.083
gotten to the point past that initial
two-week-ish kinda hurdle where it felt
00:03:20.097 --> 00:03:23.498
really hard and difficult to do every
morning, and now it's actually something
00:03:23.498 --> 00:03:26.296
I look forward to, and especially
even when I'm having like, you know,
00:03:26.298 --> 00:03:29.368
frustrating brain mornings, it's like
I know that if I get on the treadmill
00:03:29.368 --> 00:03:34.634
for half hour and just walk as fast as
I can, it helps work out some of the
00:03:34.638 --> 00:03:38.576
stress or anxiousness in my brain, even
if it doesn't necessarily always solve
00:03:38.576 --> 00:03:40.223
the problems that I'm stressed about.
00:03:40.623 --> 00:03:45.472
' Cause boy does my brain love to worry
about things like money, whether it's
00:03:45.475 --> 00:03:48.635
good or bad, or it's there to be spent.
00:03:48.676 --> 00:03:52.887
Uh, or everything in between, I find
a way to be anxious about money, so.
00:03:53.287 --> 00:03:55.161
But that's a conversation
for another episode probably.
00:03:55.561 --> 00:03:57.269
Speaking of money, thank you toâ¦
00:03:57.669 --> 00:03:59.452
Not that that's the reason
I'm doing this podcast, but
00:03:59.453 --> 00:04:00.633
just kinda have a funny aside.
00:04:00.634 --> 00:04:04.488
But thank you to supporters over on
Patreon, John and Justin at Transistor.fm,
00:04:04.828 --> 00:04:07.510
Abby Fisher, Eileen Smee, and
my mom, Lynn, and then also the
00:04:07.515 --> 00:04:09.182
YouTube membership, Void and Cozy.
00:04:09.207 --> 00:04:11.730
I think that's something I'll lean
into a little bit with YouTube is
00:04:11.731 --> 00:04:13.509
like, yeah, you can become a member.
00:04:13.628 --> 00:04:18.187
It's a few bucks a month, and you
get to see videos f- in advance
00:04:18.187 --> 00:04:19.508
of them going out occasionally.
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:23.590
You don't have to watch them ever, but
if you're a YouTube person and want
00:04:23.595 --> 00:04:27.107
to support things on YouTube, there
is a YouTube membership which I think
00:04:27.111 --> 00:04:29.112
you can find on my channel somewhere.
00:04:29.789 --> 00:04:33.012
I know when I post videos that are
set to be membership first and then
00:04:33.023 --> 00:04:36.118
released later, it prompts you to like,
"Hey, you could join," or whatever.
00:04:36.119 --> 00:04:39.848
But anyways, just as an option if
that's a thing you prefer to do
00:04:40.248 --> 00:04:41.763
rather than Patreon or whatever.
00:04:42.163 --> 00:04:44.441
