The Prod.cast

Hello and welcome to the prodcast.

A podcast that we talk life work and occasionally music.

My name is SwitchBladesForKids and the other half of the podcast.

Oh, hello.

Oh, who are you there?

Me, Harley's.

Oh, how are you?

It is I.

It's Vantel.

How are we doing?

It's Pirate Vantel.

I got the Vandana headband going.

I'm feeling very pirate.

How are we doing?

How is how are you going, my friend?

What's happening?

Where are we?

Shiver me Timbers.

I'm on my way to the booty.

I don't know man.

I bought these headbands from Wish.

I thought it was one.

It was like 12.

I got even to these bed.

I got even to these bed.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But how are we doing?

How are we going?

I'm starting to lose my voice.

But I was long story short.

I was real unwell.

And I tell you what, sleeping in a chair because you don't want to vomit in your bed, that sucks man.

Oh dude.

Yes, that does.

That sucks.

That sucks.

It's real bad.

No, I'm not an ass-lick.

I didn't trust myself.

So I slipped in this very chair.

I literally just, I don't have a couch behind me.

But I didn't even want to vomit on the couch.

Yeah.

I was just like, I'm just going to sit here and I'm going to put a bucket on the desk.

Yep.

And I'm going to.

I'm going to.

I'm going to sleep.

Yeah, it's just like.

Because I woke up and I went to sleep real late too.

Because I remember I, I vomited, went to sleep.

So it for like four hours woke up.

Stayed up for a little while, went to sleep, vomited.

Right.

Right.

That's right.

It was like, it was a real bad, right?

And then I worked, not, that was on Saturday.

So Sunday morning.

That was Saturday night, Sunday morning.

And then all day sat in, Sunday was like, I can't eat.

I feel like shit.

And then today, Monday morning, I wake up and I got to go to work.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And I got to work and my voice is cooked and I'm dying and I just shut my door to the rest

of the world.

And I kept it shut all day.

I literally left my office like maybe four times and then I just went back to my office

and I shut the door.

I was like, I'm just not dawned today.

Every possible thing that I needed to do that didn't involve speaking to anyone I did today.

It was like, I think I made like two phone calls.

I was emailed to everyone.

Could this be done in an email?

Yes.

It's just sent us an email.

Yeah.

I was productive.

No.

I had four shadowing, four lighting, four lighting.

I was listening to some good music.

That was how I was today.

How was your week, Zach?

Good.

Well, let's continue on.

No, that was good.

No, we just, wait, did I already talk about fucking crashing that car?

Oh, you already did.

Yeah, that was the last one.

That's the last week.

Yeah, I'm funny enough at work.

I don't like this thing.

I, especially on this show, like I love to banter and love to talk shit and it's fun.

And I do the same thing at work.

I'm just that kind of guy.

I can walk talking shit.

Yeah.

I fucking, this happened the day after the incident.

I'm just chatting to Bo Lee.

He's our resident fucking buffered.

Yeah.

And I was just literally, it was just me and him.

I'm eating an ice cream and he's like, we'll just talk about nothing.

This sergeant comes in and he's like, "Hey, do you want to go out and crash the car?"

I was like, "Well, wrong."

And then Bo Lee fucking out, because I was like, "Ah, you can't crash it.

You know, dumps you like that."

And then I tell Bo Lee, because I'm just ignoring this sergeant.

I just tell Bo Lee exactly what happened.

I was like, "No, it was slow.

It was dark.

We couldn't see shit.

We fucking hit this rut and we crashed into a tree."

And then afterwards he said, like Bo Lee said, "Oh, you probably like fucking floored it."

And I was like, "Yeah, man, we did like a whole heap of flips."

And you know, like, "Dump shit, that's like physically impossible."

I was saying to shit straight out of my house.

And just, yeah, it's so unbelievably sarcastic.

Oh, yeah, we did like three front flips.

Yeah, yeah.

And then, yeah, all while, you know, doing just the dumbest shit, you know.

And this sergeant was like, "I've got to go."

And then the next day I get pulled into an office with my sergeant.

And I'm like, "Chattin, and he's like, hey, so there's been a competitor."

And I'm like, "I'm like against me."

Like, what the fuck?

And he's like, "Yeah, it's really nothing."

And I don't believe it anyway.

Apparently, you did front flips in this car.

I don't believe it.

Okay.

And he's like, "Did that really happen?"

And I'm like, "What do you think?"

And he's like, "I know."

But there's a sergeant out there that actually thinks he did front flips.

And he's like, "What? What?"

And he's like, "What?"

And he's like, "What?"

And he's like, "What?"

And he's like, "What?"

And he's like, "What?"

And he's like, "What?"

And he's like, "What?"

And he's like, "What?"

And he's like, "What?"

And he's like, "What?"

And he's like, "What?"

And he's like, "What?"

And he's like, "What?"

And he's like, "What?"

And he's like, "What?"

And he's like, "What?"

And he's like, "What?"

And he's like, "What?"

And he's like, "What?"

And he's like, "What?"

And he's like, "What?"

And he's like, "What?"

And he's like, "What?"

And he's like, "What?"

And he's like, "What?"

And he's like, "What?"

And he's like, "What?"

And he's like, "What?"

And he's like, "What?"

And he's like, "What?"

And he's like, "What?"

And he's like, "What?"

And he's like, "What?"

And he's like, "What?"

And he's like, "What?"

And he's like, "What?"

And he's like, "What?"

And he's like, "What?"

And he's like, "What?"

And he's like, "What?"

And he's like, "What?"

And he's like, "What?"

And he doesn't exist.

You know, I can go, I can go one or two ways.

I can, you know, ignore him or just, you know, just be civil, you know, talk

if I have to talk to him sort of thing.

Or I can go the complete opposite route.

And talk as much smack as possible in front of this man.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And like, the most incredulous stuff.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, that thing, that's the way.

Like, yeah, man, I was just standing there and then I just started floating.

Like, I was off the ground, man.

I don't know what the fuck happened.

I was off the ground.

And then I smoked like a whole bunch of weed.

Or like, just like, shit, shit that will get me fired without any proof.

Like, they just need to look at me, man.

And they'll be like, because he'll probably probably go make that report and

he'll be like, "God him now."

Like, did you see him smoking weed?

No, he said he did.

And then they'll ask me again, they'll be like, "Hey, this I just said that you said you were smoking weed."

Okay.

He was like, "Yeah, man, I don't know.

Did you?"

Nope.

Did you see that joke?

I'm not a joke.

It was like a skit.

And a cop walks up in the dudes, like, "I've got a dead body and the trunk man.

I've got a body strapped in."

And says all this like, outlandish shit.

And then the captain comes up and says, "All of this stuff, like you got a bomb, you got this, got that."

And then he's completely compliant with the guy.

That's everything.

And gets all the way to the end and gets, probably said, "I was speeding as well, huh?"

Yep, yep.

Yep.

Yeah, so that's like, that's the exact situation.

Yeah.

Were you actually smoking the marijuana?

Yeah.

Do you really think I was smoking marijuana?

I'm happy to do a pissedest.

Like, you tell me what I'm doing.

Yeah, that's it.

And you do all of this stuff.

And then right at the end, like, you do this one minor thing that you, and you actually...

Oh, you know what I mean?

You beat it.

You're beating it.

You're beating it.

You're beating it up, laced the right way.

I think that's a bunch of dumb shit like that, man.

We got him.

Boys, we go.

No, you just one time he think to him and he's like, "Oh, fucking God.

You know, you some bitch."

Yeah.

And he goes to them and he's like, "I got him this time.

I got him."

And you can be that.

He's like, "It can be the most minor thing you could possibly find that could be, that could get you in any type of trouble."

Yep.

Like, stacking the paper in the wrong way or some dumps.

Yeah, yeah.

And then they go to, you know, he goes to them, they come to you and he's like, "So, we had a complaint that you stack the paper wrong?"

You're like, "Yes, I'll just say it."

I mean, how many complaints is at this point?

Yeah.

I was, I was flying.

I was stealing a building.

I was like, I was eating, I was eating gunpowder.

Apparently, you're going to this guy.

Like, "What?"

Well, I'm stacking paper wrong.

See, that's the thing.

He's fucking gone.

And then he's trying to--

Eating gunpowder is bad because that's defense property.

Yeah.

Eating it intrinsically bad, but because you've stolen.

That's what we're getting on.

You've stolen it with your body, so.

Yeah.

So that's my life at the moment is--

I'm fine, man.

I'm either going to be like, I just, like, the easiest route because I'm very lazy.

And we'll be just to, like, be similar with the guy and just, like, and then if I remember,

I'll go to the complete opposite side and go, "Dude, I crashed this other car."

But you go, "I did it again."

You're really--

I keep getting away with it, man.

I just, I'll just keep saying, that's what I keep saying.

I was like, "I keep getting away with it."

And no one's going to believe me.

Yeah.

Oh man, that's so funny.

Yeah, what a guy.

Yeah, so that's--

That's so weird.

But other than that, I was a plumber this weekend.

That was fun.

I, like, pulled apart my kitchen sink and then had to put it back together broken because I can't get it up and down.

Like, I can get, like, the you-- you know how, like, the bottom of the sink, that has, like, that--

I know exactly, you can join.

Yeah.

Like, I can get that undone easily enough, but I'm looking at the sink and you know the top of the sink, there's, like, the brass nut in the top.

Yeah.

You can, like, loosen that off and shit and then you can take out, like, the whole bottom of the sink and put the--

Yeah, the waist.

Put the plumber seal, fucking around the metal bit that sticks to the other metal bit and you push it down.

I know, I know all these things that you're saying, yes.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

I can't fucking get the brass nut.

The brass nut is completely-- the thread-- gaw.

Yeah, you'd normally, it also has, like, a flat head.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's what I was doing.

So, like, I was twisting, like, a counter clockwise or lefty loosey sort of shit and, you know, doing--

What is this thing, great.

It's all just like--

I was just, like, regretting what happened and--

And given this fucking, the sink, the resty of its life, and, um, and fucking--

Yeah, it's the things just threaded, it's fucked.

So, I was like, upset about it, but, like, I completely wore out because I was, like, spinning the whole fucking thing.

I was spinning the whole fucking--

I kept going with it, man.

I keep, like, spinning the sink and then the top of the sink--

Well, that, like, plum is sealed is--

Yeah.

It's completely fucking waterway.

So, now, like, when we use that sink, it-- water just leaks straight through into the bottom of the fucking cabinet.

I was like, well, that's enough plum in for me today.

Put it all back together.

This is why I don't want to read my house out when we decide to go, like, fucking big laffery in Australia.

I don't want to-- I don't want to read my house out because someone's got a sped in the bottom--

[laughs]

And then we like--

It was, like, the--

The sink's--

And--

It wasn't me!

It was already broken.

It was already broken.

Oh, man.

It's such an old--

And this is the thing is, like, I got so mad at it and I was just like, fuck, this is such an old sink.

Fucking-- I just got, like, so mad.

Because the other one, perfect.

I was able to, because I was like, maybe I'm going crazy.

Maybe there's something I'm missing here.

I was able to undo the other side of the sink and put it back together.

And I was like, oh, excellent.

Sweet.

That works.

So I'm not wrong.

It's actually threaded.

And now I have to call up the fucking actual plum, to get them to fucking underdrill it out of someone.

Yeah, they look un-

Probably going to say the recommended replacing the whole sink.

That'd be great because--

Yeah, fuck it.

Leaks me.

Yeah, I'm making it worse.

[laughs]

If it--

It probably actually came to have-- this is me being a fucking bunning specialist, okay?

And the slow motor.

You're an expert in two areas.

Yeah, and the homeowner.

And I built a tiny home.

Well, it was like a mansion of a tiny home.

It was, like, 12-

It was really interesting.

That was quite a big tiny home.

You know, actually bigger than what I planned on living in.

Very soon, I'll talk about later.

But as an expert of plumbing the expert.

She's fucked.

Yeah, tell me about it.

You need your license, man.

If you can't do it, and you said, hey, this is what's happened.

I'd be like, bro, you need a new sink, man.

You should probably get a new sink.

I don't know what you've done.

Actually, you just need a new plug and waste, honestly.

That's what you actually need.

The sink is just a stainless steel sheet, essentially.

Yeah, it's a pressure.

You just need to get that plug and waste out somehow.

And drilling it out is probably the easiest way.

So that won't replace the sink.

That won't think you about it.

But, you know, funny.

It's so dumb.

It's so dumb.

But I think so.

I got very disheartened after fucking around with this sink for nearly two hours.

Good.

And during all of this, like, Kim had gone to her mum's birthday party and I was like,

"I'm going to fix this sink."

And she came back two hours later.

And I just got like, "I couldn't fix it."

And she's like, "You were at it for two hours?

I was like, "I was at it for two hours and I made it worse."

She's like, "Oh, well, I guess we'll just use the other side."

And I was like, "It's probably a good idea."

So I thought, "I think a lot of it."

There is the three homes in that sink.

That's right.

You don't understand how worse I made it.

It's not good.

It was manageable before.

So dumb.

So dumb.

So dumb.

So dumb.

So dumb.

Yes.

And now I need to call up the real estate and say, "Hey, new sink, please.

Thanks, Mark."

I don't know how it happened.

In Plum Mania.

In Plum Mania.

In Fixed Plurs.

Yeah.

Dude, that's funny.

I wish I could some days.

I wish I could take my plummet on the road if you know what I mean.

Yeah.

Yeah, on the road.

Oh.

Talking about mute-nake.

No, no, no.

I was actually going to talk about it last week.

But, I don't know, it's not even like a big thing because it's not official or anything.

But, Jackie and I.

Jackie and I.

Yes.

I blended those two words together and had a bit of a mouth fuck.

Um, I'll go.

Go on.

We have been talking about traveling Australia for like a year or maybe longer.

And you brought up the whole rent like fucking Plum's thing.

And this is the thing that I have been like dreading about is keeping the house and getting some like family that just fucks my house up.

And then I come back to like...

I'm not saying you're fucking the house up, but that's just a funny thing that the following was like.

I've seen you made it worse, but it's just funny.

Like, I'm talking about coming home to like, you know, broken windows and like holes and holes and shit like that.

Like shit's actually broken up.

Yeah, like I'm just sort of shit.

Yeah, like just actually fucked my house type shit.

Yeah, like ripped up carpet and just like fucked it all, you know.

No, that's my fear of coming home to you.

Yeah, I'm so...

I want to sell it.

I just want to sell it.

I just want to sell the house.

I don't want to have the house anymore.

Let me move in off fucking...

I'll look after it.

I promise I won't touch the pipes.

The plumbing I would do with me.

It's like every podcast episode, so house, the house.

Oh God.

I went outside.

I remember when I said I was a plumber.

I ate.

So I tried my hand at being a electrician.

I can't even know.

I tried my hand at being an electrician.

None of the lights work.

Yeah, I don't know what happened, man.

It is red hot.

It's so bright.

Yeah.

I don't know what I've done.

It's like, man, it is like the surface of the sun in there.

It is.

It's the sun.

It's the brightest shit I've ever seen, honestly.

So is the house really good electrician?

Or am I...

I'm a genius?

Oh my God.

Don't ask.

I'm a genius.

I'm a genius.

Oh man.

But yeah, no, we've been talking about Traveler and Australia.

And do you get this?

I thought of a fucking, a lit podcast name, right?

Tell me.

I was like, I said to Jack, we should do our own podcasts.

It was like, we're going to have the time, especially if we're just driving around Australia.

I was like, let's just make money from doing a podcast, right?

Because we make so much money doing this.

It's so fruitful.

I'm so close to it.

I'm definitely in the fucking hole.

This is a passion project for sure.

Oh yeah, I've heard nothing from this.

I've heard it's a single dollar.

Actually, I think we're down just because you had to buy so many mics.

Yeah, that.

And the one.

Just kind of like, if I think about everything I've actually spent money on this shit,

then I'm down bad.

I'm down bad, dude.

I thought of the idea of the podcast called The Grey No Mards, right?

It's off.

It's my Grey No Mards and the actual last name.

The last name.

Yeah, how shit.

Dr. Self.

Dr. Self.

Oh, it's not that hard.

Good luck finding me.

I'm on the road.

Yeah.

I don't believe anywhere.

That's right.

But yeah, no.

So we've been talking about it and Jackie wants to keep the house.

And I think that it would be too hard not to do it without selling the house one for the money

because I'm talking about spending like a hundred K all up.

Oh, I'm like that.

I'm like the caravan.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Because you want something that fucking will go for a, you know what the thing is is when you say,

oh, you want like a caravan and like an assay, like a car, a shit like that,

my idea was that you were going to get like, the image to get, yeah,

the caravan.

Yeah, because the hardest thing is driving around in towns.

Yeah, that's the whole thing.

Yeah, and some caravan parks like don't have parking for like big RVs or buses.

What the fuck, Winston?

He's been acting.

He's been acting up.

He just turned on my fan.

Like I've got like a little battery fan.

Nice.

He just turned it on.

Turn off.

Go on.

Fucking this dog, man.

Turn off the, then turn the fan off.

How long is this?

It's you and I.

Zach's away.

Piper, poop, poop.

Pee.

Pee.

Oh, you like like is, is, is, is still he's going at it.

He's like, he's not going to the over it.

What do you want?

What do you want?

Oh, dog.

It's great.

We're going to have to bring our dog on the road.

That's going to be fun.

But wait, we don't plan on doing this for like two years.

Yeah.

Yeah, the gray nomads.

That's going to be our YouTube and podcast.

That's fucking sick.

I love that.

I think that's such a, like a, especially a clever name.

Right.

And if it doesn't already exist, it fucking doesn't already saved it.

That's great.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, no, that's, I fucking dig that.

I love that.

So much.

And the end of it, no, the thing is, is that I think we spoke about this like, you know, you're just driving.

And you could honestly turn it into a live stream.

Oh, you really?

And it could be like live podcast sort of stuff.

And then it all just like amalgamates into the audio side, the video.

Oh, I literally said to Jackie, I was like, every, at the end of every week, we'll just sit down, next door fire, because we'll almost always be next door campfire.

Yeah.

And we'll, I'll set a camera up.

And we'll have our two microphones.

And then we'll just podcast for an hour at the end of every, at the end of every week.

Yeah.

No.

I was like, what a lit idea.

What if I can call, what a call life, like living off of the bills.

So little, I think I told you, right now I worked out that.

You will not stop.

I fucking, I worked out our, our yearly bills to be like 70,000 something thousand.

Yeah.

And then on the road, it would be like less than 40.

That's so good.

It's so good.

I remember when you told me that, I like told Kim, like the next day I was like, you know, Blake's gonna move in the middle of fucking Caravan.

And he's, he's not gonna have a home.

He's gonna live in a caravan.

And he's, like, it goes down like 30 K.

And he's expenses.

And she's like, what, like, every couple of years, like every year, 30 K.

Just just because you're not, you're not spending 30 K on questions.

Do you have more expenses?

Yeah.

And especially if you run like, say you got a caravan, it runs solar.

Yeah.

It also runs like, you don't need to raise you do like gas, gas for like cooking, gas, like hot water.

You just do the gas, gas swaps.

You do diesel fucking, what is it?

Diesel haters.

Yeah.

They like all the shit, it's like super efficient.

It's such a small area. The idea is to do a lap of Australia.

The big lap.

It's called, right?

That's the name, the big lap.

And Jack and I literally have said it could take a year.

It could take two.

If we make money on the road, like working, because I'm gonna take styling with me, which means I'll have like 300 meg download anywhere in Australia.

Yep.

Yeah.

Except for, what do we do?

What's the two places that you were saying that don't get a fucking area just outside of Sydney?

Apparently that doesn't have availability.

It says on the map.

And then Rabina Gold Coast doesn't have availability.

Doesn't make sense.

I don't understand why there's two black spots that don't have availability.

Yeah.

I don't get that.

I don't get it man.

But everywhere else, you could be in the middle of the fucking desert in, in W.A.

Yep.

You could be in the outback.

You could be on fucking Ares Rock.

Yeah!

You could literally be on the top of Ares Rock.

Not actually doing it because that's offensive, but if you did, you could be on the top of Ares Rock fucking rocking out with some internet.

Straight up.

You could be streaming Downloading and fucking up.

No.

No.

Or at least don't steal our ideas.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm the one going on the road.

You motherfucker.

If anyone's going to do it, it's going to be me.

I'm the only one that's going to be on the road.

But yeah, so I was like, I could fucking get back into trying to build some video editing stuff.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

Get back into doing that and build up some clientele, some name in over the next two years.

And then I could earn money just doing that.

I just get all of that.

I love that.

You know what I mean?

I get it when we go to leave.

I just buy one of the most powerful laptops I can at the time.

Yeah.

And then off we go.

That laptop will do me for a few years.

Yeah.

And if it doesn't, you just go to the next town.

Yeah.

And you say this laptop sucks.

I need a new one.

And yeah, I'm literally just going to work out of a caravan.

And man, I'm trying to convince Jackie I'm buying a van as well.

Yeah.

Because I've seen those new Shundai vans.

I forget what they call.

I love these.

Yeah.

No, it's not just an eye load.

Is that an eye load?

The i-max?

The real new ones.

The ones that are also electric.

They call it like Staryos or something.

Oh.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Go on.

I don't know what they call.

No, I don't know how they call Staryos.

But you know what they look like, right?

I'm looking at what they look at.

Yeah, I do.

Yeah.

But they're electric, but there's also diesel versions.

And then I found them.

And they have like back seats, but then the back of it is still like cargo space.

Oh, sit.

So I was like, it's literally perfect.

And I said when those first came out, I looked them.

I was like, I don't know in that.

Yeah.

And then they got to this point.

I'm like, they don't have too bad towing.

They're like fuel economy is pretty good.

It's a van.

Yeah.

Get roof racks on it as well.

I'm like, it ain't bad.

Yeah, dude.

It ain't a bad idea.

Think about this as well.

There's these, um, I can't remember the cold.

The Sadies make some.

Uh, there's huge vans.

They're, they're, they're, oh yeah, yeah.

Big fucking bits.

They're really long fucking enormous.

Yeah, they're really long.

They're really expensive.

They are really expensive.

Um, my ace actually has one of them.

And he's outfitted it into a sleep event.

Yeah.

Like a camper van sort of thing.

Yeah.

And it's, uh, it's, it's, it's on like big wheels.

It's not a forward drive.

No.

Um, but, uh, you reckon he goes, if I can pretty much anywhere.

Uh, and it's, it's, it's got heaps of room in it.

It's got like this huge arm.

He's got like, uh, the whole back fucking flip, no, it flips open.

Yeah, it's, and then, uh, when it's not a double bed in the back, it's like, it, has this like, uh, big bit of, uh, wood.

Why was that?

Yeah, big, but a plywood.

That's what it is.

And it lays on top of that.

And it, like turns into a table.

Yeah.

And then like, other random shit in it.

Yeah, there's like two beds in there.

There's fucking, um, like a whole kitchen, and shit like that.

Yeah.

And this is in a fucking van.

And we're looking in here and like this is a crazy problem that van's like that have is that they don't have on sweets or shale's.

Yeah, yeah.

Well, that's what you showed us.

Travel in Australia with two kids, dude.

I'm having a one-sweet in a shower.

Yeah.

So I need a caravan.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Because I did.

I thought about getting like a bus.

I thought about a truck.

I thought about a, uh, fucking RV.

All of these other things.

And I was just like, he just kept coming back to either.

It was going to cost way too much for what I wanted.

Or it wasn't going to have like the non-negotiables, right?

Yeah, yeah.

And like I'm like, I, I car in a caravan is everything, like it has everything we need.

You know what, Blake?

You're going to turn it into the people I hate on the road.

Yeah.

You're going to be those motherfuckers that like go slow everywhere.

And you know why, Thak?

And you don't get out of the fucking fast lane.

You know why?

Because I ain't got a car in the world, brother.

Yeah, I know.

And it shit's me off.

You just be in the fucking fast lane.

Yeah.

Do an 80.

It's a hundred motherfucker.

And I can't pass you because you keep fucking swerving that giant caravan.

And you're tiny little fucking dihatsu chras.

Does not fucking pull it hard enough.

Yeah.

And you know what I'm just, I'm floating through man.

Yeah, you're all listening to the next hour of the week.

And told me this is it is like, I literally, I literally, I can't see behind me.

I got nowhere to be.

And you're like, I just, I just, I'm going to get to work.

I'm breathing at the end of the problem.

I've been stuck with like all the kids, like coming back from a Harvey Bay.

And we did, we did all the backwards one.

I can tell you about this on the poll.

You're stuck behind so many caravans, like, you just like, okay, cool.

I've got this for you.

And you're behind another one as soon as you overtake one of them.

There's another fucking one for right ahead of you.

And they're all doing 20k's under the speed limit.

And they just swerve.

And when it's a little bit gusty, you can see the thing like bounce and shift to the wind.

And you're just like, either like, I'm going to die or these are going to get blown away.

And kill someone else.

Yeah.

(laughing)

- It's uh yeah.

Yeah, look except the thick, here's the thing.

I'm a pretty striker, okay?

- Yeah.

- I actually do stay in the slow lane, if I'm,

if I feel like I'm in the slow lane, I stand in the slow lane.

- Bro, sometimes I'm doing 30k's over brother

(laughing)

Sometimes I'm absolutely flying through, all right.

- Yeah, yeah.

- Sometimes I'm like, I'm that guy who's behind the car,

like motherfucker are you going to move?

- Yeah.

- You're only doing 10 over, I want to do more.

- Yeah, yeah, I'm trying to put the foot down here, move.

And then sometimes I'm in the fast lane doing five over

'cause everyone else is doing 15 under,

so I'm like flying past and then see someone coming up

and they're fucking trucking man.

- They're hooking, they are moving.

I'm like, all right, and then I move out of the way,

they go, "Rooom, show past."

And then they pull back out.

- Get back in, yeah.

- Hey man, Curtis driver, okay?

- I do it, I do it a lot on my drive two and from work.

- Yeah, because you see it happen, like I tell you what,

actually just some shitty fucking logistic story

I'm gonna tell you.

- I love logistic stories.

- I think you already know my disdain for logistic stories.

- I love it.

- Traveling.

This is all it's about travel.

I went somewhere and then I got back,

just driving home and it was such a clear drive.

There was like, this was like four o'clock on a usually,

it would take me.

- Yeah, like bump into bumper.

- Yeah, and it's just, it's slow, then there'd be a little break,

then it's slow again, then it's big, it'd be a break,

and then it's slow for ages and then I get home.

And it was just clear.

I was doing 100 the entire fucking way home.

And I was like, this is impossible.

It's not, it's just something.

- It's a, that's dude.

- I was like, I was tripping out and I was like,

is this fucking school holidays?

- I'm being school- - I can't say that.

- Are we in school holiday?

- Are we in school holiday?

- Where are my kids?

- Where are my kids?

- Yeah man.

- So yeah, it's just a weird one,

but it's not the thing is like, that's the problem

with logistic stories, but like, they fucking,

they have nothing to them, there's no meat.

- Well, you said about kids at school,

talking about traveling in Australia.

I'll be taking my kids.

And I've been thinking about how I'm gonna school them.

Do I give them a left for I could not?

- The school hard knocks?

(laughing)

- Fucking, this is, (laughing)

- Get schooled kids.

- It's a hard way.

- God.

- God.

But yeah, no, I legit am like,

I think we're gonna end up homeschooling.

Like, I just think it's gonna be the easiest way to do it.

And like, I've been looking into it.

Home schooling, like early primary, to mid primary,

not that hard.

No.

- Home schooling, like high school?

(laughing)

Hard, harder.

But in saying that, you've got a whole, like,

was that seven years, six years?

- Here's another thing.

- How am I gonna be traveling to Australia?

- So, again, yeah, we're gonna be traveling for like two years.

- Say three years max, you've still got a heap of wiggle room

to get them into high school and stabilize, I guess.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And I mean, that's the thing, like, the reason why we wanna take our time

and just keep living on the road is that the kids are young,

they're not gonna wanna do this forever.

Like, they wanna go to high school,

they're gonna wanna do all their own shit.

And if we do it then, then they're just gonna hate us.

(laughing)

- Yeah.

- This is the uprooting their lives.

- Yeah.

- And, you know, this thing that they build.

And we're destroying it and taking them on the road.

Whereas if we do it earlier, it's not as much destroyed, you know?

- Yeah, that's the only way.

- I'm using the wrong terminology.

- Yeah, but, I'm gonna be in a fucking bot.

- I know, say.

The kids will love it.

That's the thing, they'll actually fucking love it.

- They probably, when they get into the high school stage,

they'll be like, okay, cool.

Now, like, we're settled in, and it's gonna be,

oh, I'm just gonna make a holy pre-friends.

And then, and then, and then, and then,

- See, and then it's also the same schoolwork.

- As we can find where we wanna buy block land in Australia too,

and just park in Caravanna.

And that's it.

You did it.

- Yeah, you could do all the other road.

- And then we start building from there.

- Yeah.

- I'll just, I'll just build out from the Caravanna.

I'll build a bigger, like, annex for the Caravanna,

but a permanent annex.

And then, I'll build a cabin, and then we'll do our gardens,

and then we'll do a greenhouse, and then we'll do a fucking,

just all this random shit man.

- I'm just not gonna knock it down the walls of the Caravanna.

And you're like, we need to open this up.

- We can't, we need to play with it.

- We'll just start playing in this place, Jam.

- Dad, still if you're making a house,

you're just a big caravan.

- We need some windows here.

- Oh, man.

- We can just rip it through with a fucking sledgey,

and you just, like, the whole walls fall apart.

And the office is scrappling it, like, no, Dad,

- Please, please.

- So the Caravanna, please.

- It's still a Caravanna.

- Not at home.

We have so little.

- Oh, man.

That's hard to do.

- Yeah, that's the plan.

I don't know how it'll change, I'm sure.

Like, plans always change, but.

Jack is on board, like, fully.

So, like, we're literally just gonna start working towards

that being the goal in about two years time.

- I fucking dig it, man.

- Yeah. - That's super cool.

- No, it's like everything ready.

Figure out what we're doing with this house,

all of it, and then, and fucking drive and travel.

So we got two years to make big bank from this podcast.

You heard it here first.

- Yeah.

- If you're not subscribed to our Patreon right now,

you can, we don't have a Patreon.

- For future reference, subscribe to our Patreon,

that will eventually have.

- Yeah.

- And our only fans.

- Buy our only fans.

Buy our merch that we'll eventually have.

- Oh, shit.

- I don't know.

- Whatever other random shit we do.

To fund, me selling everything.

(laughs)

- Wherever you are listening to this right now,

comment, if you would wear

a podcast merch, because I honestly,

I'm keen on to make it.

- I'm keen on to make it.

- I'm keen on to make it.

- I'm keen on to make it.

- I'm keen on to make it.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- I wanna make it just because I wanna wear it.

- Yeah.

- I wish you just like one off.

- Like, fuck it.

- Couple of one off too.

- Yeah, let's do a pre-sell and only sell to ourselves.

(laughs)

- We're hemorrhaging money again.

- Yeah.

- We're hemorrhaging money at the fucking house.

- This podcast is taking everything from me.

- You gave it away.

- Yeah, I think you were.

- You kept giving it to me.

- I don't have anything left to sell, please.

(laughs)

- Oh man.

- Yeah, look, that's my, what's been happening in my life.

I've been saving.

- Yeah.

- I've been saving.

- I wanna sell everything and just disappear

and not have to worry about when I wake up,

when I go to sleep, what I'm doing, where I am.

As long as I'm hanging out with the kids

and then teaching them life shit and show 'em,

I wanna explore Australia, dude.

- Yeah, there's cool shit everywhere.

Yeah, dude.

There's so many small towns that have such, like,

such good character, little like weird niche things

that happened in that town.

Like, there's a weird thing in Victoria,

where like every small town has like,

you know how like everywhere has an RSL.

Every small town has an RSL.

A lot of places in Victoria,

there are cells are small,

but like, they always have like these huge fucking statues.

- Oh, actually.

- That are for military stuff and they have like names

of people from the town that went to bobble one and two.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And it's like got like, like, got essentially that in town.

- Yeah, it's a real like, obviously,

it's not like a real small town thing.

Yeah, definitely.

But like, it was like every small town

and because they're so close in Victoria,

like you'd be like, oh, I'm gonna go to a fucking beach

worth and then brighten, heaps of other fucking places

down there.

And yeah, everyone, like in the center of town,

this huge statue with like a soldier on it

with his slouchy and an SLR, yeah, SLR.

And yeah, it's like all these names and you're just like,

oh man, cool.

And yeah, that's weird, small towns,

I love small towns.

- Yeah, small small towns.

- Like, what are we gonna put on the shirts?

- We're talking about music.

- We listened to Kill Switch Engage this week.

- Oh, yes.

- What happened was it called again?

- As daylight dies.

- As daylight dies.

I didn't want it, like, I know what it was called.

- Oh.

- We listened to,

(laughs)

I just, I want you to be a part of this

just as much as I am.

I feel like sometimes I talk too much.

- Don't worry, so it's same.

- It's funny because like, it's a podcast.

- Yeah, we do as talk.

- Yeah, that's all we do.

- You're right, Blake, this week we did listen to

- We did daylight dies.

- We did daylight die, I do.

- By people.

- By people.

- By, still,

- which,

- Engage.

- We have it strokes.

- Yes, it smells like,

- And all of this is fever dreams.

- I've got a metallic taste in my mouth.

- Yeah, it's not burnt toast.

- That's right, I can't raise my left arm.

(laughs)

- Holy shit, just before we get into speaking about music,

it is the 12th anniversary.

- No, it's not the 22nd anniversary.

It's like, it's 22 years after the national tragedy.

That was,

- Oh my god, it is.

- The 9/11 attack.

- It's 9/11 today.

- Yeah, it's not. - Holy shit.

- Yeah, 100%.

- It's 2,977 people thought.

- I remember where I was 22 years ago today.

- Don't know what, yeah.

- I remember where I was, dude.

- Yeah, I remember where I was from the telescope.

- But I woke up like,

- My dad woke everyone up in the house.

- Yeah, I was at my,

- I was at my,

that Nanny and Poppy's house.

- Yeah.

- I was at their house and,

and Nanny worked me up.

- Yeah.

- It was just like, oh my god.

- I was like, oh my god.

- Yeah.

- No, I wasn't actually like,

'cause I was a child, so I was a sight.

I don't understand what I'm watching.

- I remember watching that second plane

go into the second tower

and like my dad just gone,

what the fuck is going on?

- And like flipping out.

And I'm just like,

it's the news, but is it like a movie game?

- Yeah, it was a game.

- I don't understand.

- Yeah, I don't understand.

- And even to this day,

I don't remember when I actually fully understood

what had happened.

- I don't remember what point it was

because I've known it for so long.

You know what I mean?

- Yeah.

- Like I've known it since before,

I was like even aware of my own fucking existence really,

you know?

- God.

It's such a strange thing.

- Right.

- I will say this.

Today, not only Marx,

the 22nd anniversary of such a horrific attack against the US,

it also Marx,

the first,

sorry, no, it doesn't because like the actual day,

9/11, 2001,

Marx, the first anniversary of my boss's birthday.

- Oh.

- So we sent him,

like it's his birthday today.

And I sent him,

do you remember the picture of George Bush getting told

when, you know, here's in that primary school

and it was getting told by like a secret service.

- This picture?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- I said happy birthday.

(laughing)

- That's so funny, really.

- That's a happy birthday, man.

- And he's like,

"Thanks, Zach."

(laughing)

- I tell you what,

there's 15 people in that workshop.

14 found a really funny.

- Nice.

- Nice to meet you.

- Oh yeah, that's what it was.

But I told him today I was like,

so the year you were born

and then a full year later,

2977 people died.

And he's like,

what are you trying to say?

I was like,

I don't know, that's pretty,

pretty big coincidence.

- That's a big coincidence.

- And he's like,

fuck off, man.

(laughing)

- Yeah.

- Your boss is 22?

- Yeah.

- Yeah, I know.

I know, he's the guy who tells me what to do.

And I laugh at him sometimes.

- Yeah, I'm, yeah.

- And that was like,

- That's a razzin' eye.

- Yeah.

- But it's just like,

I was just like, okay.

And then I'd like,

- Like, walk off.

(laughing)

- Yeah.

- And tell you,

you have to be like,

"I really need you to do this."

Like, actually,

he's like,

"Yeah, no, okay."

And then I was like,

"Oh my gosh, I'm sorry,

you didn't put a little one in front of that."

- Yeah, that's right.

- Yeah, so it doesn't really need to get done in.

I'll do it if I feel like it later.

(laughing)

- Just with that,

I don't know if I have to blur anything out from that.

I didn't know if it showed full name or not,

but I'll blur it out if it did.

- No, he's not.

(beep)

(laughing)

- Make sure everyone wishes him a happy birthday.

I'm not saying other people out here, not me.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.

- No, no worries, it's something else.

But you were good luck finding this name

'cause he thinks he's like,

"Special forces."

- I'm fine with him.

(laughing)

- He's like changed all of his names.

- He's like, "You'll never find me, you'll never find it."

- Yeah, I don't even think the name that (beep)

is his name in the signal chat,

like that's the signal chat name.

We know his name, that's not his name.

- Oh, we did, okay.

- Yeah, so I think that's like, it's not right.

(laughing)

- That's very funny.

- Yeah, I'll tell you this,

we're gonna get back into it.

We're gonna get back to the album of the week.

As we said before, Blake,

we listened to Kill Switching Gages.

- Oh, we are, I thought you'd say, but.

- No, we did.

We listened to Kill Switching Gages album

as daylight dies.

- Yes.

- Thoughts?

- Do I love this album?

- I fucking love this album.

- It's a good man.

- This is like a consistent like, repeat week or week

and sing alongs, man.

Mike Hurst and Holy Diver and For You

and there was a good for you.

- As soon as he gets halfway into For You,

- Yep.

- Bro, as soon as that riff changes,

when it changes up from the fucking, you know,

that weed like three, four thing and then double back

on its own, it's fucking sound so cool.

- Yeah, dude.

- It's like that fucking, anyway.

So good, I love it.

I love that shit, but,

- Oh, such a good album.

Takes me back.

It takes me,

- I can take me back, dude.

- It takes, well, it's a release,

- It takes me back,

- To the end of 2006, man.

- 17 years ago.

- Oh my God, surely not.

- I love, surely not.

- I love this because not 17 years.

- It was 2006.

It's 2023, man.

I love that like,

even before we started the podcast,

you were like,

I'm a freaky Friday, it was released five years ago.

And you're just like,

- Oh, just like,

like, how is this happening?

The passage of time.

- Oh, through time sucks, man.

- Yeah, it's scary, dude.

- Yeah, just guys, man, it goes.

- It does.

- Days and days drift on by.

What are you gonna do?

Listen up, what are you gonna do?

You're gonna let the days go by,

just like that Darryl Breathway song.

- Yeah.

- ♪ As the days go by ♪

(laughs)

- Well, I can.

- Yeah, man.

- Sure, I mean, look, this is,

I mean, just quickly, again, to sidetrack again.

That's why we wanna go travel,

'cause time go real quick.

- Time go real quick.

- Templars when you're having fun.

- Yeah, I wanna go on a big adventure,

at least once in my life.

And like, I'm gonna consider that a big old fucking adventure.

Traveling around Australia for a few,

a couple of to a few years.

- Yeah.

- That's a big adventure.

Anyway, this is a great album, man.

I'll listen to this album while doing that.

- Yeah, should.

- Yeah, I don't know what else to say.

Like, also, this fire slaps, it is CM Punk

and "I Can Interest On", love it.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- It's good, it's all good.

Every single song's good.

Like, I don't remember skipping any of them.

- No, no.

- Honestly, I would replay,

like as soon as my first ended, I would replay that.

I would do that, like maybe three, four times.

'Cause I was like,

I really wanna hit like these,

notes, I just wanted to keep saying it.

So much fun to sing with you actually, my way.

- Because of that change up,

that made me really listen to it a lot as well.

- Yeah, yeah, it's the songs that you go back to

and you're just like,

"Oh my gosh, that's right, I remember this was fucking sick."

And then you get a re-appreciation.

I'm trying to think of that fucking,

I think it was either Storm,

either Storm had like a sweet,

vocal hook in it about something drifting away,

something about the sea.

And there's like so many,

what was it with early mid-2000s metal being about the sea?

Or was it just like hard, hard, hard, hard,

- No, no, no, no, no, that's because,

like all, lots of really good metal bands, we're Australian.

- Yeah.

- And all they do is sing about surfing.

So the audio, the water,

- Yeah.

- Avenue fliction, Parkway Drive.

- Yeah, dude, like if you think about water,

- Yeah, dude, I think about my top,

in my top like five metal bands,

so I don't wanna say top three.

I think that'll be hard, top five, I could say,

Parkway Drive and Amity set up there in top five.

- Yeah, fair.

- But I could, I would say, right?

That's my opinion, but they're both Australian.

Like, North Lane's pretty high, they wouldn't be top five.

They might be like top 15 or something,

but North Lane also Australian,

fuck, what else is it?

There was heaps of goodest metal Australian bands.

I mean, AC/DC, I guess.

- Actually, you know what's, you know what's,

I love that you, you or me mentioned Parkway Drive.

I think it was you.

- Maybe.

- Only because the guy,

I think it's the bassist or the guitarist in Killswich

and Gage produced horizons.

- Oh, that's very cool.

- 'Cause I remember watching, this is something in this album,

I got to a point where I was just like,

something sounds super familiar with the guitar tone,

something about the drums, maybe it was like vocals

or something, or the screams or how they mixed it all,

something about it and I was just like,

this sounds like something I've heard,

and I listened to, something made me go,

I wanna listen to horizons by fucking Parkway.

And I started listening to Parkway Drive

and I was like, this sounds super similar.

And I remember fucking, like at the start of high school

or the middle of high school, when we like met

and we'll talk about the current brewer.

- Oh, dude.

- Man, the myth.

- That's a far back.

- He fucking gave me a DVD, it was Horizons, the movie.

- Oh, it was like the Parkway Drive movie.

And I was like, oh, this is sick.

And it was like basically how they fucking grew up.

And then literally whenever to America,

they fucking ran, like didn't run into the kill switch

and gauge guys.

They fucking were hunted by kill switch and gauge

and said, let's fucking produce an album.

- Yeah.

- And that was why the tones were so similar.

- That's crazy.

- Apparently, I can't remember what his fucking name is.

This dude, the one thing I remember,

he reckons that Parkway Drive's breakdowns

are the most brutal breakdances heard.

- Yeah, nice.

- And that was like obviously back mid-late 2000s.

And it was just like, this is the most brutal breakdances heard

in metal music.

- I'm like, they would be good.

They are still good.

- Yeah, 'cause I was listening to the Horizons album

and I was like, oh, damn.

- Yeah, we should listen to Parkway soon.

- Yeah, yeah, I'm down with that.

- Yeah, we listen to an album.

- Yeah, we listen to one race, we do.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Yeah, that's right, yeah, yeah.

I fucking, what album was it?

I mean, I know the fucking, I know it was one of those.

- Chasing ghosts.

- Might've been a thing.

- Anyway, some bother. - Anyway, this week,

we listened to the two. - No, it was young ones.

- It was young ones.

- We listened to the whole world, yeah, it's right.

Yeah, that's good album.

Anyway, big fan of kill switch.

I love this shit, man.

- Yeah, I love this shit, dude.

I could've listened to "Shit All Day."

I did listen to "Shit All Day."

- Yeah, man, literally today.

(laughing)

Literally, literally today.

- Man, I don't, oh, go on.

I know what my rating is.

(sighs)

- It's a 10 for me.

- Yeah, I'm just, I think I'm gonna have a nine for me.

- It's a 10 for me. - I don't know why I would give it

an 9.5, though.

- You know what I mean?

Like, you got any negatives?

- No.

That's 10.

- Yeah.

- I can't, I can't think of anything

- I can't think of a reason why I wouldn't be,

for some reason I have a 10.

- It's got a holy fucking diorama.

- No, yeah, it's a 10.

- It's got a holy diorama to cap off the entire album

and say, hey, you did well.

You got all the way to this, you fucking survived.

And now you get to have some fun singing

holy diorama with us, you know?

- Yeah.

- Right, it's, dude.

- It's such a, it's such a wrong, the whole fucking way through.

- I mean, when I think about it again,

I think I said this with Creed, right?

There's multiple songs on here

that I would listen to for the rest of my life,

so it has to be a 10.

- Yeah. - It's a 10.

Even if it was just those songs alone, you know what?

I'm going to double down on this shit.

Even if it was like the five songs alone.

- Yeah.

- I'm, we could like, I'm happy with that.

- Honestly.

- Damn it.

- It's a 10.

- I say you're looking very Antonio Benderes

when you like look straight into the camera.

(laughing)

- Thank you.

- Oh, fucking.

- I'll take that as a big, big old, yes.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- And you should.

(laughing)

- Let me tell you, this album starts off incredibly hard.

And then in the middle, it gets harder.

And then it just keeps getting harder.

- Yeah.

- It's faster, it's like the drumming gets fucking

stupid fast, like the double kicks just keep on going.

There's so incredibly technically,

like fantastic about what they're doing.

The masters of their instruments.

And at such a young, like stage of their fucking development,

like they, like I listened to their latest stuff

in the midst of all this.

And I was like, it's only gotten better.

- Yeah, not.

- It's only gotten better.

Obviously, I don't have the nostalgia for that stuff,

but as I do for as daylight dies.

But like, you can tell there's so much,

there's like fucking 20 years of growth.

- Yeah, that's cool though.

- You know what I mean?

And it's like, it's so fucking cool.

- So it's a bit like Dan's Gavin Dan,

so I'm a big fan of them and they've come a long way.

- Yeah, yeah, exactly.

- I'm a big fan.

- I got some cool shit.

- There is, they do this really cool thing.

Obviously having, it's like, you know,

you have a little bit of sweet and you have a little bit of sour.

You have like, they have like different palettes

in their songs so that it's really,

all of it is completely accessible to just about anyone.

- Yeah, yeah, I know.

- You know what I mean?

Obviously like, you know, like I could give this album

to my dad and say, hey, have a go at this.

And he's a very bluesy dude.

He's still like, it was in a metal band and shit like that,

but now he's like falling back onto like,

listening to Elvis and fucking,

he's just, he's gone.

It's like deep roots, blues sort of shit at the moment.

He's gone way back and he loves it.

And I'm, but I could show him this album right now

and he'd be like, oh, dang.

Like when I showed him fucking Lama God

and he was like, oh, shit, this fucking rocks.

But I could show this to my mom as well.

I could show this to fucking anyone in the workshop,

anyone fucking--

- Yeah, Jackie, Jackie would listen to this.

- Yeah, it's, I know it's, it's, it's,

it's got such a quality about it that like, yeah,

there might be like really incredibly dense technical parts

where they're playing for their lives.

And then it has like that break in it

where the beautiful singing comes in and it's just,

it's just, it's just, it's strumming and it's just chords

and you're just, and you're just like, oh man.

It opens up so much and then it can get back into the,

into the fight, you know?

It's so cool.

They, they really do understand like a good song structure

but also having the different colors of the entire like,

like spectrum sort of shit in each song.

So it's not just three minutes of thrash.

- Yeah.

- And, and then at the end of it, your ears are just fucking tired

and you don't know what happened at all.

(laughs)

That's, that's all I have to say about it.

I'm writing this in fucking ten,

it's such a beautiful album and it's so well crafted

and to have Holy Diver cap off the entire album.

It's, as sung by fucking Killswood Engage,

there's a cover from Dio.

It's just so fucking, it's so tasty.

- Yeah, it's fun.

- For some reason coming into this,

I didn't think that I would be giving it a 10.

And then I listened to it and I was just like,

yeah, I was genuinely, I was like,

there's no reason for me not to.

- Yeah.

- There's just not, there's no reason for me to get into it.

- I was, I was critically listening to it this afternoon

as I was driving home and I'm just like,

I just, I can't stop head banging.

- Yeah.

- I love singing along to this.

And yes, I would say there's a little bit,

there's a little bit in a stilger.

- Oh, yeah, of course.

- Dude, of course.

- But like, but like, there's, like,

I listened to Killswitch Engage on Guitar Hero 3

because they had Mikeurs as a bonus song.

And I didn't know who Killswitch Engage were,

but I knew I fucking loved this song

because it was incredibly technical

on the stupid six button guitar sort of thing.

Until I learned how to play it on Real Guitar.

And then I was like, oh my God, this is even fucking cooler.

- Yeah.

- The riff, the riff for Mikeurs is so fucking good.

- Yeah.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's it.

- No, it's a 10.

- I love it.

- What are we listening to next, Blake?

- Next, we're listening to, right,

we're heading some R&B routes.

So Killswitch is a song from 2006.

Now, think, six years on,

okay, 2012 of

- Colonies around.

- Oh shit, not that motherfucker.

(laughing)

- That you Gundam wall,

Canyon wall, African wall, there we go.

- Yeah.

- I can't, I can't rule a country.

- Needy can I.

I'm trying to think of anything else that happened in 2012.

I can't really think of this off my head.

Do you remember machine gun priest?

- Yeah. - The movie?

- No.

- Oh, don't worry.

(laughing)

- Okay.

- Anyway, the time is 2012.

- I'm in TAFE.

- Right.

- Yep.

- I'm driving around in my mates.

It wasn't a WRX.

He wasn't in Prusa RX.

Anyway, in his little Subaru,

we're cruising, we're listening to some R&B.

And he goes by the name of Tray Songs.

- Well, listen to the jam.

- Your friend was Tray Songs?

- Yeah.

(laughing)

- He drove a Subaru to TAFE.

- He gave me a TAFE at V and everything.

He was a cool dude.

And he gave me a CD, it was like,

Brylson to my album is pretty fine.

- Check it out, big tape.

(laughing)

- I was like, "Oh man, what'd you call it?"

- What'd you call it?

- Chapter V.

- It was like, "No, no, I've been."

- You should call it chapter V.

And he's like, "Oh, damn, that's the same thing."

- That's so much better than chapter V.

- Where's the rest of the chapters

he like, "Brother, they're ain't none."

- They ain't none, man.

- Where is this chapter, I was calling the chapter V.

(laughing)

- I don't know if there was four numbers before V and

chapter V now.

- Yeah.

- Yeah, we're gonna listen to Tray Songs chapter V.

It's a big difference to Kill Switch,

but you know,

- Palette claims out.

- That's it, that's it.

- That's it, for a Parkway drive album.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

- But I already sold,

- We're doing Horizons.

- Yeah, we're gonna do Horizons next up.

(laughing)

- Look, I like Tray Songs, but I also like Parkway drive.

But I was like, "Are we gonna give a Palette cleanse

"of the Twins?"

- Yeah.

- I know we've done some times back to back,

but we'll Palette cleanse.

- We do, we enjoy it for you.

- That fucking, you know, that conductor,

that French dude, he's like, "Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah."

- Does all the orchestra stuff?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Man, we should hit like a,

I'm not even gonna lie,

we should hit like a some form of orchestra type thing.

- Like a classical staple.

- Yeah, if we did a bonus episode,

we made some like, 'cause I wanna hit like,

I wanna talk about fucking,

video game, I was thinking like,

video game sand tracks and stuff.

- Yeah.

- Movie sand tracks, all that sort of shit.

- Like we do deep dives into that.

Let's, you know what, people,

if you wanna, if you actually wanna hear that,

if that's something that interests you, let us know.

- If you've ever seen a movie before,

or you played a video game, there's music with it,

and if you want us to fucking listen to it,

and talk shit for another hour,

and you enjoy that,

let us know.

I mean, we might just do it anyway.

Too bad.

- If you didn't, yeah.

- Yeah, we might just do it anyway, honestly.

- So, that's it, that's, that's,

let's, oh, actually,

- Tracons. - Tracons, chapter five.

- Tracons, chapter V.

- Chapter V.

- I will keep calling it that.

- Yeah, that's fun.

- Zach.

- Yes.

- You know how I got my phone?

- Yeah.

- I can make phone calls from it.

- Yeah.

Good for you.

- Did we get any, did we get any voicemails?

- No, this is dying.

- Did we not?

- We did not get any voicemails, but that's okay.

Because now is a set enough of perfect opportunity

for all these new voicemails that come in.

I've cleared the inbox.

I've made sure that it's primed ready

for new calls to come on in,

and even existing pre-existing people that love

to just leave blankets of silence.

- Oh yeah, good place.

If you, one of those people that wanna leave us

a message of me, but--

- I bet you know, we just--

- Testing to see if we even listen to them.

And then we did, and they were like,

"Well, I can't say anything now."

- Oh, shit.

Now they know it's me.

They've got my number.

- Yeah, yeah.

(laughing)

- Oh no, you just call them during the day.

(laughing)

- Yes.

- Oh man.

- Who is the guy who left me the silence?

- You know what, you don't like silence?

They're butt.

(laughing)

- Man, that's such an abusive power.

Imagine we get all these numbers.

It was like, "I call them."

- Yeah, no, that is just a problem.

- We just something we would never do.

- 'Cause we're not, we're not peace in that shit.

All right.

- Yeah, we just don't think we would do that.

- If you loved your phone,

and you're just looking at it, maybe hit the phone button,

use it as exactly what it's intended for.

Make a call.

And I think this is the number you should call.

If you wanna leave a message, a question,

or a suggestion for the album of the week,

then that number is plus 61,

seven, five, six, four, one, 10, 80.

That number again is plus 61, seven, five, six, four, one,

one, zero, eight, zero.

And make it just, just, just, white one second.

It rings for one second,

and then it goes to voicemail.

I think it's like a beep,

where it says leave your message after the tone.

(laughing)

And then just talk, talk garbage straight into it,

and you'll listen, and it's, you'll be,

- You'll be, you'll be, you'll be,

- And it's almost beat you.

- And it's as fast as if we like, creed like seven times.

- Oh, right, 'cause I don't,

- Sing songs, we listen to them.

- Yeah, we do.

- It's, whatever it is.

- If we can't air it, Patreon.

- It'll go straight, straight to another area.

- We'll become a Patreon.

- Yeah, we'll make a Patreon.

And that means that if you wanna directly support

the podcast, you'll have to become a Patreon to you.

- Yeah, do that thing.

- I don't know, we've never used it,

we don't even have it set on.

- We don't have one.

So you can't do it right now.

- Don't do it.

- But in the future when we have one, please do it.

- Yeah.

This outro's gonna be fucking wild.

- Yeah.

- Thank you so much for bringing up this golf stuff.

- Do you want me to wrap it up?

- Yeah, fuck it.

- Can't do it. - Let's go play talk of.

- Let's do it.

you can hear his music on Spotify.

Just check him out Blake Bentley.

It's just two words.

There's no underscore, there's no TV at the end.

Absolute fucking banger.

I've been digging it.

- Yeah.

- And killed it.

- Also checking out on his other handle on Spotify.

It's Teddy B.

- Fuck yeah, it's the, yeah.

- It's the alternate side of Blake Bentley.

And it's fully, it's like--

- It's like, it exists like every time.

- The full on housey sort of side of Blake Bentley, right?

- I did like some progressive house and some like trap.

- And yeah, and synth wave sort of stuff.

There was some synth wave vibes in it as well.

But it's really cool shit.

And I reckon everyone should go and have a listen.

If you wanna see more of my face,

'cause apparently, you know,

I think I'm pretty good looking.

- Oh man.

- That was hard.

- But I was hard.

(laughing)

- That's so funny that you made it one.

So Switch Plates for Kids,

and Switch Plates for Kids, one.

Not two.

- I know.

- I know.

I know.

- Now it looks like you've lost the original ones

of someone else and they're holding it ransom.

You've created a new one.

- Oh my, so true.

Imagine if Dylan Francis,

like there was another Dylan Francis,

and he just made it Dylan Francis one is like,

"But I'm the real one."

(laughing)

- I'm the DJ one.

- I'm the real one.

- Yeah, that's it.

Also, you can check out my side project

called The Cracked Scav.

- Yeah, we're on live today.

- Yeah, I'm trying to do it every couple of days

because I realized every day is pretty unsustainable for me,

but I can do at least every couple of days.

- Yeah.

- Just make it look like it's casual.

- Yeah, and that's an editing schedule.

- It's an editing schedule.

- Yeah.

- Schedule.

- Schedule.

- Schedule.

- Fuck what I'm trying to say.

Yeah, check me out on The Cracked Scav.

- It's basically just a skate from Taco of Content Road,

travel around being a scavenger in the wasteland,

but in the Russian fucking town city,

town, town, town.

Yeah, that's right.

- The city, I think.

- Yeah, it's a fun little adventure road

just do little things and put text up and there's no voice.

No one knows it's me except for you, the list is not.

(laughing)

Other than that, that's pretty much it.

- These are the things.

- Leave a five star review if you don't mind.

- If you really enjoyed this episode,

make sure you share it with a friend

because that's 100% how I think we are growing because.

- Yeah, so you actually think it's just people sharing it

with each other.

- I honestly think that there's

- I think the way the YouTube house is working.

- It's so weird because I look at the YouTube views

and I'm like, that's so much more than what we were getting

before and I'm like, there's people legitimately going,

hey, this is a good episode or like,

it's getting pushed somehow.

And I think it's people sharing it and it's so nice.

- I wanna say a big thank you to you guys.

You've done absolutely well.

We both want to thank you.

It's so fantastic that you guys are putting in so much time

into what we put so much time into.

- Yeah.

- It's such a, I know.

- So weird because you're like,

I think you said it earlier, right?

This is a passion project for us.

We put so much time and effort into this.

We don't expect to make anything out of it, right?

- Yeah.

- Every time I talk about making money from this is a joke.

At the end of the day.

It's a joke.

You wouldn't do this for two years as an investment.

You know what I mean?

As an investment.

- We do this 'cause it's just fun.

It's just fun.

We listen to musicals all the time.

And like we get to talk to people, new people sometimes.

- Yes.

- We get to interview people sometimes.

We need to do more of that.

We'll get into doing more of that.

But yeah, thanks for being here.

Thanks for being here with us.

(snaps)

(singing)
