1
It's supposed to say studio tour.
2
This is the most expensive thing I've ever bought.
3
The most complex project I've ever built.
4
We did it.
5
Studio's finished.
6
It was arduous.
7
Every little touch means something.
8
We spent so long.
9
F* me.
10
Okay, where do I start?
11
So this is the first day in what will become from modern wizarding studio.
12
I'm excited I am excited slightly daunted.
13
We moved in we found out that the building had a ton of mold
14
so we needed to remediate all of that
15
but it's part of an HOA which means
16
that you can't make changes without getting their approval
17
and some of the mold was inside and outside which means you need to reclad the outside differently.
18
Everything needs to be done sequentially
19
because you can't do the build until the molds done
20
and the mold can't be done until the remediation is finished
21
and then the particulate clean needs to come after that and the bathroom needs to be done at this time.
22
I feel like this is the real winning in the weeds of what we're trying to get into
23
and getting that wrong is going to be like, oh, we committed so much time.
24
We're talking about the specifics of the office and the studio.
25
I keep changing my mind.
26
Any kind of pendant lighting that we want, but if we don't want to go that route, then yeah, it's...
27
I'm pretty good at moving quickly, but I can be quite undecisive.
28
This is essentially any build is just a huge list of decisions
29
that need to be made It's not just what do I want it to look like it's can I make that happen?
30
Without any doubt this is the most complex
31
and elevated studio We've put together for any of our clients
32
even Rogan It's just nothing was skimped on in terms of you know quality budget equipment
33
constructions it is so
34
Difficult to put any kind of building project together on a good timeline
35
But when you're also trying to build a studio and there's electronics
36
and lighting setups and five different companies providing your lenses
37
and your cameras and the storage that goes online and
38
that needs to speak to the system that actually records locally and that needs to be uploaded to the cloud.
39
it is just an unrelenting stream of challenge after challenge after challenge
40
and each time
41
that we think we've got to a stage where we can
42
begin to move on to the next thing there is a hold up
43
and this is i guess the same whenever you're trying to do any big project especially something
44
that requires people with hammers and nails and paint
45
and then you add cameras and microphones in on top and it just gets exponentially more difficult.
46
I'm learning the art of patience one studio build day at a time.
47
Isn't this good?
48
I'm gonna show you studio tour.
49
I bought this ten months ago.
50
It's still not entirely finished.
51
It's nearly nearly nearly nearly done
52
but been watching me record episodes out of here for a long time
53
so now it's time for me to show you around most impressive part most impressive parts the doormat
54
so this is the studio in the office i bought this in october
55
and this was a marketing office none of these pillars existed
56
this middle section didn't exist obviously no podcast studio we made
57
fake walls fake ceilings painted everything i wanted to make a
58
green room green room adjacent sometimes guests bring family friends managers
59
and they can come here and sit and watch this sexy cool vestiboard thing
60
that we've got in the office that everybody sees including the guests
61
when they walk in vb .plus slash modern wisdom you can
62

75

77

93
great episodes all the time on this table right here thanks
94
this was a gift from mark zuckerberg that's the decal from his ranch
95
and i got to go
96
and hang out with him in kawaii this was a gift
97
from bill thompson he put a custom modern wisdom decal on the site i'm aware
98
that we're kind of edging you toward the actual thing
99
that you care about which is the studio in there
100
but this is foreplay it's a little bit of this is
101
a interior design foreplay i'm like a naked marie kondo marie kondo is
102
that who did the fucking who did the feng shui shit whatever um the whole studio
103
because i've kind of got ptsd from vocs and mold
104
and bad pain building material we did micro particulate clean before we came in jasper purifiers in every room But importantly,
105
we wanted the furniture that we used to all have no VOCs, no blow -off, just the highest quality that we could.
106
And this is all human scale.
107
So human scale make the best office furniture on the planet.
108
It absolutely fucking rules.
109
I've fallen in love with vertical buttcases.
110
Had one in my first ever studio back in Newcastle.
111
Go back and watch the David Allen episode.
112
I remember seeing him going, that looks so sick.
113
So I've had one of these everywhere that I go.
114
That's a gay bear.
115
Very important. Can we look?
116
Can we zoom in?
117
Thank you.
118
It's very important.
119
Bullpen.
120
That's where the blood and the feces and the titles and the thumbnails are made.
121
I did everything in my bedroom on my own for basically forever.
122
So to have a place to go to work that isn't a coffee shop is still kind of deranging.
123
I come in and there's people here and they say, hey, this thing happened and whatever, as opposed to it just being a Facebook messenger chat between me and video guy Dean.
124
So we get a lot of questions about what the setup is for the podcast.
125
It's been the most basic setup in history, which is this guy.
126
When people ask what's modern wisdom about?
127
Well, it's interesting because there's porn stars, but there's philosophers, there's psychologists, and then sometimes there's people that are trying to maximize our ability to do space flight.
128
And then there's like this whole other area of health and fitness.
129
And then I've got these two mates from the UK
130
and we kind of talk about how to make the best toasted sandwich.
131
so yeah kind of
132
that it has been kind of insane to go for as long as I have
133
and did just doing it out of bedrooms
134
and spare rooms this really has been a very spit
135
and sawdust operation for a long time every single bedroom of every single house or Airbnb
136
that I've stayed in for more than a couple of weeks
137
has been turned into a studio my bedroom in the first
138
house I ever bought was the first 500 episodes of the
139
show before I flew out to America before I moved to America I think
140
that grassroots spit and sawdust just make it work with sellotape
141
and cable ties thing maybe held me back for a little
142
while I think I was like like fuck it I can
143
do it myself I don't need to have a big space I can go
144
and have the most beautiful podcast in the world
145
and then record out of my spare bedroom
146
and both of those things can work at the same time
147
and that is true but it's not exactly conducive to being a sane human
148
because some days I don't ever leave the house I I wouldn't ever leave the house
149
and I wouldn't speak to anyone except for the guest.
150
Wake up, go to the gym, listening, prepping, thinking about stuff, come back, still prepping in my dining room, go upstairs, record, finish up, go back downstairs.
151
It's 6 p .m and I spoke to one other person and they were on the other side of the laptop.
152
So it's nice to have a place to come in to work.
153
This is the co -working space.
154
It's really great.
155
I get to come in and I can, you know, do my prep and sit down and have meetings with people if I need to, or the guests get to come in it's mostly just all of this all of this
156
so far is the spiral staircase going up to the bonnie
157
blue bedroom it's a little bit of foreplay catch up have
158
a bit of a chat oh do you want a new
159
tonic should you try to try this protein shake whatever and then we're getting to the main event
160
let's go down this is 20
161
yeah i think that's that's nice do you still get
162
that spill underneath the light yeah
163
and you're still catching a good bit of it from here as well because this is quite bright Yeah,
164
nearly a year into buying the office and we're still fixing things still making small autistic improvements
165
i think the window fall off really helps with the blowout from the back of this person yes
166
so that's the shot that we're trying to fix we spent
167
so long dude putting this together me okay why do i start this table's custom this table's entirely custom
168
and it's a trapezoid shape so me
169
and guest one are further apart than guest four and guest three
170
and what that means is you get a foreshot from the wide shot so you can see all four of us.
171
In here is a bunch of stimulants and disguises.
172
What's the Make Autism Great Again hat?
173
Thank you.
174
Very important.
175
Thank you.
176
I mean this is really me trying to bring together everything from a color perspective, from a history perspective.
177
Copper and Teal is this kind of cheat, it's a little bit of a cheat trick from Hollywood the opposite ends of a color wheel
178
but they just look so beautiful
179
and I kind of fell in love with it a long time ago
180
so we got this custom tree made in Singapore
181
so this is completely custom made and shipped from Singapore I wanted something
182
that had a really interesting shape that would create all of these nice shadows
183
but would also double up as a shelf shelving
184
so we could put little practicals and art elements and stuff in
185
so we've got statues some books these I love these guys climbing up cricket ball
186
so used to play cricket from a lighting perspective i'm fortunate
187
that you know we've built some of the most beautiful sets
188
in the world i think for podcasting in the space of the day the guys were able to come in
189
and dial and dial and dial and refine
190
and play with until they got everything exactly as they wanted
191
so as you can see if you look up there's a lot of nanlites
192
and some aperture stuff playing around here we got a great
193
partnership with nanolite aperture also absolutely fucking rule we worked
194
so hard i mean even looking at this softbox
195
that we've covered with our own muslin cloth because it changes the way
196
that there's a fall off across people's faces you can see here as well
197
so this is just a little fill it's just a little bounce fill
198
but we've put tiny little bit of additional cloth over the top of it
199
which just creates a little bit more flattering shape on the face
200
and then all of this
201
and nanolite tubes to create the colors to create the fall
202
off my big flex was i wanted to have one set
203
with multiple looks without it feeling like it was too chaotic
204
and people didn't know what was going on so the solution
205
that we came up with was to create fake windows
206
so shock horror this isn't a real window behind here parvo tubes nanlights
207
and all of these are controlled by the same system
208
that controls all the rest of the light this window will
209
never be seen you will never this is the only time you're ever going to see this window
210
because it's not in any of the shots it's behind me behind the cameras
211
so this was kind of the the feature piece and in this window
212
we're bouncing tubes off of a white wall through a diffusion paper here and then through
213
hand cracked hand painted hand stained glass panes
214
that are individually colored with different colored gels
215
and then with you can't even see this these little tree branches
216
which were again custom made and we can change the color of the fucking tubes
217
so we can turn it from daytime to nighttime to sunset to spooky house
218
and all of the foreground lighting changes to match the background lighting
219
so that it feels cohesive because if you have a different color background
220
and people's skin looks the same it doesn't feel like the light is falling out of the windows and
221
that to me is just the coolest fucking thing one set
222
multiple different looks kind of insane to take a room make it completely brand new plaster the whole thing
223
and then go through even more work to make it look
224
derelict all of this this moss put on by hand stuck
225
on by hand all of the cracks in the walls also custom created
226
and we're using it to hide cabling
227
and perhaps the centerpiece i didn't order this or ask for it
228
and i came in one day and it was just up
229
and the team had put together
230
and we had a bunch of other ones there's a topless version
231
which i gifted him on the pod there's another version i
232
think where we're in swim shorts let's present you with two
233
versions of a very famous photo that's going to be behind
234
you for most of the episodes a rembrandt yeah uh an original yeah this is an original i'm not sure
235
if you've noticed um
236
i'd like to thank my friends
237
and family i look like some sort of freak child with
238
bicep veins i think it's like ancient chippendales yes it is
239
but for some reason for some reason you're in hawaiian shorts i didn't notice
240
that and then the one behind it is the uh this is the original
241
all class can't delete um if you go back
242
and watch episode 17 above my old couch in newcastle has this hand of Adam.
243
I didn't even say put this up but the guys saw
244
that and then recreated it and then to have this fall off with the light above
245
and below i mean you might be getting super bored this might be too nerdy for you
246
but i i think it's really cool i'm gonna sit down
247
and reminded it's just little doses of nostalgia
248
and trajectory for me this thing that was over the first ever episode
249
that me and dean worked on together eight
250
and a half years ago has got a little nod here underneath the tv in a new city
251
and a new country and a new business essentially
252
so this is the party trick
253
that you might have seen a couple of times on the
254
show as i said all of the lighting in here can
255
change what do you want to go to do you want
256
to show the sunset one the fire streets of la streets of la
257
so um if you look up here all of this lighting
258
so look this is changing now we can have pulsing
259
and you'll notice that all of the foreground lighting changes all of the colors change
260
so all of this is now different we've got this sort
261
of streets of la thing going on let's do the daylight
262
so let's just do the normal one standard
263
so the standard one is really good unless somebody's very pale
264
so again now all of this is brightened up
265
and this is good
266
because it's pretty neutral nice fall off on people's faces it's quite bright there's not it's not as dramatic
267
but there's still a good bit of drama going on
268
because we've got this negative fill yeah let's do the spooky one
269
so we we put this one together for peter santanello uh peter goes into deep rural appalachian forgotten communities
270
and um this one that fill
271
that was up there has completely been killed we've got a little bit more green coming through these lights
272
and what that results in is this really aggressive shadow
273
so this now remembering cameras are coming in from this side that's what creates
274
that sort of really interesting shot when you've got the tights
275
and then we've got this sharp wide as well i really love this profile shot
276
that we've started using recently we did it in the elan
277
debata on episode in the church in london last year my favorite shot of all
278
that side on shot especially when stuff's this dark just looks
279
so moody and cool so over the top like i'm not martin scorsese right
280
but i think all of this shit's fun
281
and i like having the conversations
282
but playing around with this is i've got into it i don't know what i'm doing
283
but i know what i like all right let's see is it fun
284
if damn fucking right it's fun virtual set more human scale custom vines growing up here to try
285
and create a little bit of texture this is for virtual episodes guests
286
that can't come to see me i spent
287
so long doing virtual episodes i think we were by far the biggest virtual podcast on the planet the biggest
288
but the biggest virtual podcast on the planet for a very very long time i'm still very pro virtual episodes
289
because the content is what i care about the most i
290
spent a long time building the skill set to be able to do this virtual thing well
291
and i'm not prepared to let
292
that go i would rather speak to a guest virtually than not at all
293
if i really love them and i'm also doing more solo stuff
294
so you will see you have maybe already seen more down the pipe me essay style, reflections, Q &A's, lessons, episodes,
295
etc. The significance of today is that it's our first episode in the new studio.
296
It's like stepping into another world, right?
297
I think overall, to be able to have so much use case from the studio, like the capability the studio has,
298
you know, a lot of people don't realize like what goes into the back end of just like simple things.
299
Like I want to be able to capture my desktop.
300
I want to be able to do zoom calls.
301
I want to have nine freaking cameras in one space
302
or in one place You know like so when you come in here, you know, you're kind of wowed by just the finishes But
303
when you're sitting down I think what people don't appreciate is
304
how low impact it is with the amount of technology that's in the space
305
So you're sitting down you're in a comfortable place vulnerable to be able to have these conversations But everything's out of sight,
306
you know, the lights are all mounted to the ceiling You know the system is its own thing.
307
Jared's running it the producers there you can tell who put a lot of time
308
and thought into making sure
309
that you know you had a really cool spot to have
310
a two three hour conversation this is HQ this is like
311
home base this is where like everything is going to be feeding into
312
and out of whether that's the guests whether that's the content
313
having this home base in the literal central center of Austin
314
Texas having the guests come through it's like a nice central
315
location to where we'll just be able to get a lot
316
of stuff done oh man finally holy shit today it's studio lunch day
317
it's taken so long it's taken so long gentlemen new studio
318
so it's the first place that I've ever had
319
which is mine it's the first time
320
that I've ever got to record in a studio
321
that isn't someone else's or a bedroom so I've kind of moved from prostitutes to a girlfriend.
322
This feels like a long -term commitment.
323
Cheers!
324
Cheers, gentlemen.
325
Cheers.
326
To the first piece of life.
327
There it is.
328
Honour of privilege.
329
I'm a wingman for life.
330
I love this guy.
331
Help me help you.
332
Help me help you.
333
You know, when I look back across the trajectory of the show, it is not
334
one of palatial luxury and fortune or expenditure really it's been very shoestring budget -y and then
335
when we started to make a little bit of money I just dumped all of it into making beautiful episodes
336
and prayed that we could make it back and ran it back again
337
and ran it back again and ran it back again slowly lighted up
338
and then yeah we started to do David Goggins on a soundstage in Vegas with custom built sets
339
and my assistant at the time with a piece of fucking cardboard wafting smoke through the room
340
because the fan to blow the fog machine around we didn't know what we were doing there is nothing
341
that you could do to get me to speed run
342
that journey because it was so cool i understand
343
that on the way up you have uncertainty about whether
344
or not you're going to make it and
345
that means your uncertainty doesn't make it feel glorious in the moment it makes it feel perilous
346
but in retrospect
347
that is all of the coolest shit like this is also
348
very cool right i'm not gonna lie it's fucking awesome i
349
get to come in here hunter biden jocker willing matt mccusker
350
and duncan trussell having a laugh three puffing on a pipe and wearing a captain's hat it's sick
351
but that's not what gets you here what gets you here is doing it in your bedroom airbnbs and hotels
352
and i'm some fucking bloke from the north of the uk
353
who started off with no money no nothing at all no spare time
354
and just really loved having these conversations and didn't stop and
355
because i didn't stop i ended up here
356
and you know it's been enabled by every single one of
357
you guys by device in your pocket like you literally changed my life
358
but that's not gonna say
359
that it's as much your studio as it is mine it's definitely mine
360
but he played a big part in it too that's the
361
tour I'm done expect more roundtable episodes over the next couple
362
of months more lessons more masterclass stuff we're gonna start to
363
put together medleys of my favorite moments from different guests
364
and different episodes Jordan Peterson on resilience Alex Hormosey on how to build a business.
365
I'm excited.
366
I'm excited for what the future's got in store.
367
I don't need to travel quite as much as I did.
368
I did over a hundred thousand miles every year for the last three years.
369
I get to sit in that room.
370
People can travel to me.
371
I appreciate you all.
372
To have this is not something that I take lightly and it's awesome and I appreciate you all.
373
I'll see you next time.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
