The Prod.cast

Hello and welcome to the prodcast! A podcast where we talk life work in occasionally music my name is SwitchBladesForKids in the other half of the podcast...

Hello, it's me. It's Blake. It's mr. It's big beetle. How are we doing?

How are we going? We're gonna speedrun this

Hit a dab on start ... and

Oh

Remember dabbing yeah, I did not tell you like reason

Like I just did do it on ironically and now I know it's now I

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you do ironically now because

We used to like just chuck shirt into the bed and I'd be like

Yes, I do

I miss on purpose sort of shit like a throw miss on purpose and like

Check it and it's like and it's not just like standing like boom

It's like you get the knees in dude. You're like the full angle, you know, it's like hang on for all all you video

You got to get right down in

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey don'tsak. Hey gone

I mode the lawn this morning time full of beans. No, so I mode the I actually whip a snip yesterday Jackie mode

We we got like the whole oh most of the yard done most of the yard done

I think cut some some fucking I trimmed some trees yesterday. Oh

Yes, dude

Do I tell you that I got those I got like a fucking hedge she is

Dude, I think I told you about the last part of over the pop-up for but like

It's it's so good. Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, nice. Oh, we've got a ladder so that I can get even higher and like

We're slowly accumulating all of the things that your grandparents had that like you just like why the fuck do they have that?

I was like why do you have a ladder? It's like oh, yeah

It's just you know what like this is the thing because we as younger we're like don't you just need a room with a bed in a TV

Isn't that all you need in life? Yeah, and then you get to a point where you're like no

You need a lawnmower and a whip a sniper and a ride on and a tractor and a slasher and a and then you need a little

It's so many other things and now it's like I don't need to grab a chair from the kitchen that no

I can just accidentally put my foot through which I've done before yeah

Oh absolutely well all I'm doing is trying to change a light in the ceiling. Yeah, it's oh now

This fucking ladder that's like rated for 100. Yeah, just a platform. I'm not a platform. Oh my god. Yeah

I looked at those. I was like well the ladder I got was like a hundred bucks

It was a hundred fifty kilo doll of 150 kilo ladder. Yeah, yeah, I'm not two steps

Yeah, but it puts me up a whole extra almost meter which is nice

But like yeah, the platform dude. I was really close to buying that platform. Yeah nice. Oh yeah

I think you were saying that when we were there. Yeah, you were like looking at it for yourself

You're like I can do you know what's even better though that platform it fits my little barbecue on it

So it's not only not only is it a platform for me to stand on it's adjustable height

I can reach my roof because my roof is three meters

Yeah, you know, I actually can't touch my ceiling which is sick just just quietly anyone who lives in a normal

Two-point-four meter house and if you're tall like me you can touch the ceiling it sucks

Yeah, feels claustrophobic. Yeah, I got some headroom right now

Like you know what I mean?

It might be if you can't touch like that

No, you know, no, no two point genuinely two point four. I can like palm flat

Oh, yeah, that's like that's that's you know what I mean like cuz I'm like one almost one point nine. Yeah

From our man there to point four yeah, about that. Oh, anyway, dude. That's huge. Yeah

Yeah, that's very tall 40 40 for vertical leap

Subout rage and you know what though easy line cuz the dude was the dude is literally almost seven foot is huge man

He's actually huge. He's like he's like what is he six eight or something?

Six nine yeah, I think he's actually six foot nine

Yeah, that's yeah, it's too much. This dude is

Hey, you being anyway has your wake

Hey, it's been I'm not

I'm not drawing a picture of her hanging out

Maverick's maverick's here just chilling out as well. Oh, hey, mav

You want to say hello?

No, no fucking mind. We've been pretty good

Just a lot of like getting back into work actually started doing actually working. Yeah

Way more way more and and the thing is is like when I came back from like someone

I only had like maybe two or three weeks

I got I got like a little bit done in that time, but it's been a long time since I've done

Actually, we'll work it. I was like how the hell do I do everything that I've been trained to do?

Yeah, yeah, I had yeah, I had that after two weeks like I had two weeks off. I came back and I was like how do I do my job?

What do I even do here? I was like I just sat at my desk for like a good 1015 just you know, just that they're like yeah

Should I turn my computer on?

I'm gonna make a coffee. I don't know what point is it like?

I'm totally fine with like just just forgetting everything or do I go out of my way to

ask someone's like hey

How do I do much of again? Give me the point is I need direction once more. Do you have anything that you need me to do?

Just let it ride do just let it ride just be like oh, why absolutely literally

I'll figure it out. No, I mean look I've been at work for like a month now and I tell you what I still don't know what I'm doing

Yeah, that's totally fine. Yeah, things are happening though things are happening but

um

The the thing is the other way do these during the day the kids are like I've got I've got one kid that

Thinks screaming is the funniest thing in the world like and we'll just hit the highest register

And that's that's fray fray has the highest register no like she did it yesterday at Costco

We went to Costco and I was I love going to Costco because of the food. Yeah

And I think we've talked about it so many times and like this

For American listeners they're like that man these these goddamn Australians they go to Costco and all like it is a hard dog and a pizza like

Yeah, you don't understand it's spending spending what what is it fucking it's like it's like

It's like slice and two dollars for a hot dog and it's like five bucks for a hot dog a drink and a shoot the slice of the pizza

It's like a small pizza from Domino's yes, yes, like it literally is a small pizza from Domino's is like and it's good though

This is the difference is the pizza from Costco's good hot dog is a hot dog hot dog is a hot you can't you can't fuck a hot dog

But you can

You know how you fuck a hot dog you ask for consent. Yeah, that's right

You better down to the hot dog. Yeah, yeah, um, but not dude man like it was it's it's such good food

Like I know like it's it's just take away food no, but like it's the thing of for the price. It's just the value value

Because good fast food used to be good just because of value

It wasn't like and it tasted all right like it tasted pretty good back in the day

You know it wasn't nutritious. It wasn't good for you literally kills you

But it was it was the value was good and the taste was there like you got quite a lot for your you know your ten

But remember the fucking family boxes for like

Like less than 20 bucks. Oh dude. Oh dude. I remember the the anyways like four drinks four chips four burgers

Yeah for 20 dollars

So your feet so air is five dollars per person five dollars a person for

Essentially a small deal for five dollars if you were like all of us

20 dollars per person

We'd order a fucking family box and we'd also there in the entire family box. Yeah, so ourselves god

I remember doing that with you um beaders Mitch sniff

Um

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we that we called him the end yeah, Carl, but we called him krall

um

We had I thought about that dude. I thought about that dude um the other day

Real because because I was talking to her mate about wow

Oh, yeah, and that's how

I was all he did that's all he did and I was talking about how um when I think it was rathalitch king was

Uh was midway through or went mate. Why didn't cut up he was talking about how

he spent uh

24 hours and he had a level 80 character. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he's bed run well

Yeah, he's a speed run well like a fucking like a fucking virgin node

because he was

Yeah, he'll be your where

I could not get past I think I'm like a little 34 rat pally but ill thread pally that's what I remember

Do you know what the the biggest thing I hated was that you copped less than I did

purely because it took so long for me to get to level any because I barely played compared to everyone else

I didn't play nearly as much as everyone yeah, but because I didn't give up I copped so much shit

I was like

Hey, they're like, oh no good at where are you can't even level up to 80. I was like, just that quid at 30

And I'm like level 79

I couldn't level like yeah 30 something and I was just like this game sucks

Yeah, you're all playing battlefield

Yeah, it's like I'm gonna go be a fucking jock

Yeah, again, in jute things and jute things like a real like a real man

But I think I was I think at that point as well. I was also playing um NHL uh like 2k

No, it wasn't even 2k it would have been like

Uh 2008 or something. NHL 2008 on the Xbox. Yeah

Absolutely lit

Yeah, fucking the sickest shit

Games yeah games are just not what they used to be. Zack. No games games are not what they used to be

But you know what what they could be

They could be else

Let's talk let's talk game what games that we chat

You know what this is a new segment in the broadcast

It's video game. Zack. We started using the game for last five the pro pro dot game

product game

Of the games yeah, go on. Yeah production. We started using Unreal

Five unity

We started using Unreal Engine 5's act and um

So one thing I used to I just this is one of the things I want to talk about

One of the things I used to do as a kid I did this for fucking years

I did this before coming to Australia right. I used to create worlds

I would draw out the maps. I would draw out the cities

I would draw what the kind of people look like what weapons they used what clothing they used

Literally, I would build a world that's end at the time

I didn't really think about it like as a video game thing

I just thought of it because I like reading books

Yeah, so I just I thought of it more like reading like creating a story or a world that a

That a story for a book could take place, right? Yeah, hell yeah, and I did it so much like

Anyway, the other day half was like dad can you can you play with me? I was like

What do you want to do? So I want to do some craft and stuff. I was like cool

I'll come do some drawing or something you want to draw? She's like yeah, it's true

So he sat down and I was like you know what I used to do helper. I was like I used to create worlds

I used to draw up all these things and blah blah blah and she's like cool. Let's do that

So anyway, we sat down and we created the doughnut kingdom now

This is the doughnut kingdom. Yes

So as you can see up the top here, that's the island don't don't mind that that was just

Like it but anyway, I think I think I've like wanted a bunny so she drew a giant bunny on that thing

But anyway, this is the doughnut kingdom. There's the main city. There's another city up top little town

Little port some mountains and and forestry and shit. There's a uh a business doughnut. This is business man doughnut

So he's got a little right I'm gonna oh I'll try to get it a bit closer

Do you see he's got a he's got a little suit and he's got a name badge

So the hole isn't the mouth

No, the hole there's just a hole in the middle of their face

Okay, they're doughnuts all right, okay, all right, and then you've got the um the pirate doughnut man

So he's a pirate obviously he's got a nice patch. That's the next logical for two

Yeah business business man's a pirate man. Yeah, you've got you've got your your um

What is he trit it's like the fucking trench coat with the glasses

Donut like a pack of man doughnut

Yeah, you got a man doughnut. Yeah, you got a you got a guard. He's wearing some armor

That's cool and unlike that he's wearing a house. Yeah, armor and it still covers up the hole

Yeah, yeah, oh absolutely. It covers the whole lot if things are going through the holes the ultimate like side of disrespect

Well, I mean think about if you're a guard and like a good

Technique of of capturing a doughnut man would be to like shoot a little thing through his donut hole

Maybe a grappling hook real a mint you know

See there's things things you don't even think about in the donut kingdom, right?

100%

There see I got we got a little car. So this is a donut car

It's like an all terrain donut vehicle and see how it's a circle door

Yeah, and then they got a little donut house

Which has a little donut donut garden is well donut garden there. Yeah, I just say

The

Could still be like a rectangle and they roll in and then something automatically adjusts

Yeah, you do that to be sick, right? The thing is is that they have legs and arms. They're not just donuts

Yeah, so they're still climbing right but the the fact remains right that I thought it would be a really fucking cool idea to do that

So so hyper nice that down and we and we talked about it all and we were drawing it all up and everything and I was like

This is the donut kingdom

And then I literally start that back and I was like man making video games would be real fun

Yeah, and then and then we started talking about making video games

And then we we downloaded Unreal Engine 5 yeah, and I made something that you can literally technically literally play

There is only two functions that you can do which is move and jump

But I made it

Call mechanics but this is the thing right is that some of the best games ever invented

We're just moving and jumping. What is Super Mario? Yeah, moving and jumping and then every now and then you get a you get

What's the the flower to shoot fucking fireballs? Yeah, I think that was even you get because that wasn't the first game

Super Mario Brothers. I don't think you had

Uh, the ability. Oh wait, maybe you did. No, I think you did. I think you did. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that

Underground level the uh, the the dungeon level. Yeah, you did

I'm pretty sure you did but still but still very moving and jumping moving and jumping for the most part

Hmm, I make Super Mario Bros

You made you made a very complex looking Super Mario Bros

It's e look you know what unreligion five

Really easy. I've done a lot of game like making in my time, right? Yeah, but the most that I ever used was RPG maker

Yeah, now RPG maker was real fun

It was really really really cool. It was like a game to make the game. That was the cool part about it

So

Because all the tilesets and everything were already in all of the characters were there

Combat mechanics were already implemented. So you don't have to code anything

It was just

Building the world like level it like you know, you'd you'd do the fucking

The coolest part about it was like leveling and stuff and you'd create a class like you create your own class

You'd call it a warrior

And he uses these types of weapons and these type of armor and this that and this the other and he has

These abilities and when he gets to level five he unlocks

Cross strike and when he gets to level tenion

Multi-strike and it does this much damage it and it's literally just like all built in right yeah

And I made by genuinely made I reckon it would have been like one act of a video game with dialogue and like

Buildings and shops and multiple different areas and heaps of combat and all this cool stuff, right?

As a kid. Yes, I did that as a kid

and I'm like

I just like I could make money doing it now

100% imagine making a first act of a game and like your your guys

It's all 2d top down like devilish

It was like like like a like JRPG, you know like top down like that's what RPG maker was like

It was like a JRPG had you one character and it was like Final Fantasy like you know old school Final Fantasy like

One two three four yeah, my brother still plays one two

And no yeah dude and he's like trying to get me on it. I'm like dude. I hate this

This is the thing right I I would

Right now I would make an RPG in RPG maker. I would never play an RPG in RPG

It's just like it's not for whatever I don't feel like it's fun to play an old school like JRPG anymore like the turn-based combat

And so I just

It's a lot like it's an investment of like 80 hours normally

You know what I mean like you're normally playing for ADS

But anyway, I um yeah, I created this with Harper and it just it

re-ignited the like

The love of creating world and shit yeah

And and now I was thinking even last I think I we talked a little bit before we started recording but even last night

We were playing you know talk of and shit and I well playing talk of I was literally thinking to myself

I think I'd rather be making like a world like making

A video game and like I like tarc of and it's and it's but at the same time

I feel like I just play tarc of because it's a fucking habit

It does definitely feel like I have it I you know I mean

tarc of uh it auto runs on starter yeah yeah and then like yeah so now I think I need you you've been

Maybe would yourself even more

And and this was at a time when I was like on leave and I was just like when I start this computer

I I want to play tarc of this this the reason I got on and then I

Like there was that point I told you and I was like I mean I think I remember telling you

that day and I was like

I want to make a video game and and that was and that was like the start and then I was like well

I've got to sort of think about what I want to do and then then I got the engine and then we started doing this and it's yeah

You know, can I just hit you up with um, I love the world building stuff like exactly it was and I never got into

I think there was a time in grade five or six where

one of the teachers uh

Because we had an IT class right and this is like yeah, yeah, this is like when the shared network

You could run halo on a shared network oh good we played age of empire

You were yelling across the the entire thing

All the cool one like you were trying to keep it silent so the teacher doesn't know

The coolest thing too was that you were just log in and you just and you wouldn't even know if anyone else was playing

But you'd log in go to multiplayer and there'd be a lobby with like five people in it. Yeah, yeah

All right

I think you know you go in and then and there'd be some uh rather

questionable names

Of of players

Yeah, it was sick

Continue, sorry um no no that that just that's such an nostalgic fucking thing man. Yeah

The

When when we were making this game in grade five or six it was like

In this program called game maker

So it's it's like you want to make a game use game maker. It was basically a

I remember game maker

What what I made was basically uh

You to have a

actor that is all is trying to do is avoid

Everything that's moving and trying to hit it right yeah, there was no AI

There was nothing that was actually actively coming towards

The the player character sort of stuff and you just had to get through a maze that was all I made

And like it was

Incredibly difficult just to make that and I didn't find it like intuitive the way like little design wasn't stuff like that

The next time I remember really giving a shit about trying to do something inside a game was far cry too

Oh

The level that uh yes

I

Lashed my fucking mind when I was like oh my god I can edit through there is so many so much functionality to the

Far cry to map editor

Yeah, and I think it's because it's like it's like cry engine light

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's like you've got all of the mechanics already built in from the the base game

But you're not the you're not using an engine to load all of that

Yeah, yeah, you're just like this everything you can do is make a map and me and my brother used to make these huge like battle spaces

Um that would just like like

Fucking huge like I

We'd set the map size to the largest that possibly could and then we would make

Forests and we'd make like these weird routes and where rivers would naturally be and shit like that

The amount of time we spent in map editor and then we would play each other in the map editor because there was a way to

Multiplayer in the map editor. Yeah, yeah huge

Yeah, man, man, yeah, yeah, that so that set me on a path right there to like start doing more and that is when I sort of learned about

um, there was I can't remember this 2d

um

Game maker thing was but like I couldn't I hated this 2d game making thing

Yeah, all I wanted to do was make 3d stuff

Yeah, 3d 3d game design I think I'm really heavily leaning into 3d game design

It's really cool because I'm doing the opposite I really don't do the 2d. Yeah, it's super cool man

Because there's like a chance that we could actually combine the two as well. Yeah, there's a lot of 2.5d video games out there

There's a lot of like even 3d video games that you guys yeah, yeah, yeah, um

So could path traveler in that like yeah, like it uses 2d bit them because it's on unreal engine

It has all the particle effects and all the shadow and the like all the cool things that come with like triple A

3d video games yeah, but processed onto 2d sprites and it looks cool me it does and looks it looks

The way lighting and particles work for like 2d if you were just to have it 2d

lighting works in like very linear like you either going above or and like

Going from the actor and stuff like that but like once you start doing that it's definitely 3d if you get above and over

And that's that sort of it because it's all it's all a flat line

But as soon as you like go in front of a hind 3d and that's where you can really make some magical stuff

Yeah with it with a 2.5d game and I think I think eventually

When when I like start because like I'm still feeling very

base level with

Unreal stuff

Yeah, yeah, so am I

I think there is definitely a huge chance that we'll be making

Like you'll be making 2d stuff. I'll be attempting to still make 3d stuff because it's so

This is this is the thing right the 3d the 3d stuff that we have talked about making

I want to make I do want to make that

Yeah, you know what I mean? I had the end of the day like I genuinely that sounds fucking cool like it sounds cool

And this is the thing I'm like I like video games, but I haven't been fun pl-

It hasn't been fun playing that's that's my thing is it like I enjoy hanging out with the boys

But I don't necessarily need to play video games for that to be fun. No, I play video games in my off time

And I'm like like I like I enjoy it, but it's not like I'm having a great time

Like I have a great time literally having the fucking garden. Yeah, like that's that's when I have like a great time

Great

Today, yeah, yeah, I look at this one garden bed that I'm constantly pulling fucking weeds from like I need to do something we tried to do something with it didn't work

Um, but this morning just quickly this is my other thing I wanted to talk about

This is a gardening thing

I have many plants now and one of those plants is a herb and it's peppermint right now. I've just never really had

Things plants. I've never grow. I'm not a farmer, you know, I'm not a I'm not a garden boy. What I'm trying to be now do have the green thumb

I'm getting it. I'm getting it right. Um, but anyway, so I noticed that I have there's four stems on this peppermint plant

One was always flowering when I when I bought because I bought it as a seedling it was flowering already

The other three are flowering and I was like thinking I'm like

This doesn't seem like a type of plant that you just stick in the ground in the grass like like a

Regano and our gardener whatever you want to um like, you know, fucking all those other herbs that you literally just take a cutting from and you

Water it and put it in the ground and it just continues to grow all spice

You can fucking you could rip like a hunk of all spice and just punch it as far into the ground as possible

Yeah, and it will grow and it will not stop grow is the fucking it's like a weed all spices are weed and it yeah it smells nice

But peppermint I I realized because it flowered and what I thought about I was like well if it's flowering

In my limited knowledge of how plants work it probably would drop the flower and it probably be seeds behind it

So I had a look right I was like all right tiny little flower I had a look

I'm like one of these black things I like pull one of them apart

Four seeds pop out I was like this is fucking rad I was like I just figured it out

You know what I mean it's like actually fucking lit

I'm a fucking I'm a complete noob when it comes to gardening

Yeah, but like I was just in my mind like this is the first time where I didn't have to go to

YouTube or Google or something to be like how do I do this I just thought to myself well

So far like the jalapenos they flower and then the chili grows

As like capsicums flower grows and then chili grows

There's like so I guess in this instance the

Producers the leaves so the flower would fall out and then I guess seeds would be behind it

Oh, I'm there seeds yeah, dude, there's no shot. There's like I'm doing it

Yeah, I'm 110% and that's that's like

making that like

cognitive leap

Yeah is so fucking cool

of not using your own information

Yeah, and figuring it out

Yeah, like it's it's rad dude it is fucking cool

But anyway that was that was a little thing that I just wanted to talk

But I that's what I did this morning

I watered the garden and then I collected a whole bunch of peppermint seeds

And I've planted one in a little in a little little pot

little seed I'm gonna see if I can grow another one

Yeah, and that just from a seed this time from the seed of the plant that I grew in my garden

I'm doing it. Hell yeah

This is gonna be the first one of like

Like the child you know what I mean

Because everything else I've grown so far has been like a throwaway or like I get rid of it

Or I haven't tried to seed save or anything right the jalapenos are gonna be the next thing because they're grown like crazy

I reckon I've got like 40 jalapenos growing right now

Yeah, that really shot out dude it's nuts and I

I'll just visit them and like I'm not even a month ago

Yeah, two weeks ago I know there's fucking heaps of them now

It's crazy

I need to learn how to pickle them now

Yeah dude yeah

100% pickled other opinions

Dude you need you need

I'll pickle them whole dude

Like I know you'll find this out anyway but you need like dill leaves

I can't do a seed

There's other like seeds and stuff like that and then it's just like salty water

Yeah, yeah, so nice I've pickled things before I love

Pickling and uh what's what's the other fermentation fermentation?

Yeah, yeah, I love my food because that's my fermentation stuff

No, I don't think you have I used to I used to make hot sauces

Oh no you have yeah, absolutely, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, dude, so good, so good

Yeah, I want to do I want to do fermented tomatoes

Oh, okay, yeah, so fermented tomatoes it like basically turns them into paste

Like you pull the tomato out and it's so soft and rich and you literally spread it like it's like it's a jam

Yeah, like it is sick man and like people use it for you know, tomato sauce and like

Yes, yeah

Dude food food is so good when it's like when it's yours

Yeah, yeah, you put the time and effort into it and taste so much better

I taught Harper one thing right if anything I'm glad I told you this one thing

Food tastes better when you got to work together. Yeah, oh, yeah, that's a really episode where they play the ice cream dad to fucking get

The card to get the ice cream yeah, 100% exactly that and so slowly getting that yeah

But like so anytime we get Indian food um Harper's like can we walk to get it so it tastes better

Hell yeah, we can I'm like yeah, we can walk down to go get it because it's like a decent walk

That's the thing it's like it did is effort. It's effort to go get it and she's like absolutely loves it

We got home like because where she's tried Indian food wasn't a fan like you know

As kids are and um, yeah, we walked down there warm back

I was and I told her when we when we started walk I'm like trust me. This will make the food taste better

Yep, she's like wow

How does that what that doesn't make sense it's like just just trust me

And yeah, so we got the food came back she ate and she's like, Dad, this is the best Indian I've ever heard it's like I told you

Yeah

Yeah, anyway, that's that's look what I had that I wanted to talk about

The world

My peppermint seeds my garden's growing yeah

Um, I'm pretty happy with with how it's going out there. I want to do a um

A fucking hydroponix tower

I've seen those dude that looks like cool. Yeah, I want to do one of them

Letters is growing out of them like yeah, it's just yeah, that's exactly what I want to do

So I want to have a system and I want to do it here so I can just get used to it

I want to have a system where it's like every Monday take two lettuses plan two lettuses

I love that every Monday, yeah, you know, I mean so by the time I get to the bottom of the tower

The tops grown again

So then take two plant to take two plant to every Monday year all year round

Yes, I just want to you know what I mean

I want to build a little system for myself so that we always have lettus

Yeah, lettus and then you could do it with so much some

He's a shit man. He's a shit

Can you do it with like I know it sounds stupid but like how would the fuck would you do it with tomatoes or do you just let the vine?

He just needs so you need the climate if you if you're in a climate where something can grow all year round

Then you can do it all year round. But if you're in a climate where it's seasonal like vegetables and fruits

Then you just have to grow your seasonal bit like you know, I mean there will be some that you will grow all the time herbs spices lettus

Tomatoes sometimes again, it depends on your climate like Queensland that tomato plants won't necessarily die off

Because some places they die off. Yeah, I think Queensland is warm enough that they don't die off completely

But then they can re-fruit the next season

But yeah, I think there are some tropical places where tomatoes all year round. I think I could oh yeah

I would say 100% because when I was trying to grow chilies and tomatoes in Darwin my dog ate a like half a plant worth of

tomatoes and

Shit out like a whole heap of seeds against the back fence. Oh, you told me this yeah, a group a group a whole heap of fucking tomato plants

Not that seeds man because you know what on the bike because it's like the best compost you can get

And and you know what we've been trying to feed him tomatoes and he hasn't done it since and all we want is fucking another

Dude just go poop in the back out so we can have a little tomato for it

Our dogs eat heaps of like fruit and veggies and stuff too. Yeah, yeah, just because it's just

Rode diet man peanut butter fruit veggies

Of course they also eat meat and like in dog food like biscuits and all that sort of shit, but like everything else is

You know fucking raw it's like raw food because that's what they would be eating

Yeah, 100% that eat whatever they fucking get that they'd find what they could eat and they'd eat it

So have some berries have some fucking carrots have some peanut butter well they wouldn't find peanut butter, but you know

Hey, look you know what?

It is what is it?

Can I talk to you about something completely unrelated? Yeah, cool. No, I felt like that was top that was enough enough of that

So can you?

Let me just ask you

something like

It might seem a little bit left-field

Do you

Share your pictures of your kids to strangers like to strangers like imagine like you're just talking to someone

Like on the street and then if someone and if you show them pictures of your kids

So someone ask okay, they go because I don't go

Yeah, I say like I've got kids and they're like oh, yeah, we were you know, what do you got?

Oh to your old boy and almost three and six-year-old girl now. Oh, that's nice

Then I don't show them a photo

Thank you. Can I see a photo? I'm like yeah sure here's a photo of my children and I guarantee you I reckon it be like

99% of the time if they go I can I see a picture. It's a woman right? Oh, yeah

Right, okay, no bugs here. They're like you got children

You love your children. That's good. That's good. Yeah, like you know what you trying to be a good dad? Yeah good

That's what that's what I want to hear as a dad

I want to hear that other dads being good dad exactly. I don't need to see your fucking children

Okay, what your kids look like the phone you're being a good dad is good enough for me. That's all I need to know

You were good dad. Yeah, yes, cool. You know what approval in my book you are now you are now I'll talk to you

I will come I will come first

Not a scumbag excellent. Yeah, literally it's an easiest way to tell someone's a scumbag or not it's like you good dad

Yeah, they're like fucking kids of

I'm trying to go to the pub and the kids are bloody holding on to me and like you sound like a bad person

Is that like you don't you have a tenuous grip on fucking reality itself? Yeah

Let me I don't want to talk to that man. Yeah, I don't want to yeah, there's there's no there's no chance

I want to be fucking talking to that person there fucking bad people anyway. Yeah, now let me get to you

Let me get to these people that are they they I think they're good people. They these are good

Like genuinely nice people because this this happened to me recently this guy

Fucking showed me a picture of his kids. Hmm. I don't care. No

I don't I don't care

But the fact that he thought like I cared enough

I must give off some sort of vibe I give this I give this vibe of a lot to a lot of people

I must look like or sound like I care enough

Um, maybe you really don't yeah, maybe it's like it looks like you you're giving enough interest

Am I a fake person like do do do do like look here's the thing this is

So apparently I'm like this

Yeah, look apparently I'm really good for healthcare because I'm in the same boat

I come across as very very caring and for and like I'm not not

In the moment 100% right? I'm like yeah, I care about these people as soon as they walk away

I no longer give a fuck yes

Yes, I don't care

I can't I've got no interest no interest. I couldn't care less before I met you couldn't care less as soon as you walk away

Couldn't care less it sounds terrible, but apparently that's everyone in the healthcare industry

So you know you could just be like me like maybe you show the interest and you and you care at the time and it's like

That because you know what they care and you're like, you know, that's good good on you if you carry well done

You know, you know, you know to scumbag, you know to piece of shit and maybe they just take that as you're interested

Yeah, and so it sort of got me like

thinking about

The the people out there there's there's definitely like women women is really good because I asked I asked this to Kim

women are really good at like

oversharing oversharing and like just talking to all the other women made and being like

Here's a picture of my kids and no one asked and then they were always go oh my god

I know this one. Yeah, and then they they

That those are the noises women noises

man, they are

You know, they have some noises too

So it's very easy for them to be like

Here's a picture of my kids and then they go oh my god those kids are so cute here are picture of my kids and then they go

They care right? Yeah, sure

I'm not out here freely going hey, I don't know you from a grain of salt and I've met and maybe I know you've like five minutes

Here's a picture of my kids

You know I'm in no no

I I cannot tell you anytime where I've met someone you yeah and and I have

Made the you know the the call to show them my children

Yeah, I've never been in that situation never in my entire life have I been like I'm gonna I'm gonna say do you want to see my kids?

Not this yeah because I know the answer is no no one wants to except for women apparently but no one no one

I miss oh are they here

Yeah

It's it's a thing like oh they're here oh yeah sure let's have a look at your children

I think I know people that have that don't know what my kids look like and I've known them for a long time

And it doesn't affect any sort of you know actually that's I know I've known a guy for over a year now

He doesn't know what my kids look like I don't even think he knows what my kids names are and he doesn't know how old

He doesn't care

And you know what doesn't bother me. We're still really good friends

We're still really good friends and you know we we

It's it's it's not uncommon. I don't think and it's not but I think I think it's a very feminine thing though

It's a very feminine thing to maybe want to

Want to share the family I guess I don't know

Like what I'm realizing is is in our weird fucking world

The the borders between masculine and feminine are they're trying to break him down

It feels like right maybe

Maybe it feels like the guy that had showed me the pictures

He's is just oh no maybe he's at that level because it is sort of

Semi new family like that look that's probably I'd be over a year. I think I've over over

Yeah, I think I've got a bit far with the breaking down the borders about showing photos of children, but

No, I mean just not a man anymore

You know what you know what it is and this is another and like I get I'm not like religious

But I actually find pride to be a problem right oh yeah like I do I think being

Within reason being proud of something's not the worst thing in the world

The problem is is that it's so easy for pride to get out of hand right that's that's what it is right maybe

This is just a proud of his kids and he just wants to show his kids off like that's look not the worst thing in the world that is

I mean within reason that's decent amount of a good a good kind of pride sort of yeah

Yeah, yeah being proud in your kids yeah 100% you're trying to be that's huge you be like hey my kids want a fucking spelling

You know that's that's cool see I'm trying to change it from proud to thankful and in a different meaning

So different context right so let's say the spelling bee for instance right my kid goes and wins a spelling bee

Instead of being proud of the winning I want to be thankful that they were given the opportunity to go there and win right yeah

That's what I'm trying to change my mind set about because I might set like I said I just find

Like I was always proud of stuff and I found myself that it was a problem for me

Because it was like I get out of hand if I get too prideful right literally like

Because then you then you feel attacked on your pride you know you know you know I mean like it's it's a

So yeah, so proud of yourself that if anyone speaks against you like that's an insult to who you are yeah

And it's not

Usually it's not right

So I don't know I'm just trying to change that mentality for myself for pride

But that's just because I've had problems with being too prideful of stuff. I fully I fully understand what you say because there's and it does sound

very proud to

Say what we're saying right now because it's like I've I'm a more educated higher human being sort of thing

But it's more like I think people sort of need to know the difference between of like it's being yeah

Like prideful and showing off and stuff like and just being like oh man, I look don't don't thank me

This is just a thing that I've been able to do

You know, yeah, yeah, I'm not trying to be known this this is something that I can just do you know what I mean

Yeah, it's should you know that that's what I think should be the new normal is just being like

Hmm it's it's what is it humble being a humble yeah

Yeah, which is which is a big thing that we need and it's a really hard thing to do

While I'm actively trying to bodybuild because

Would I go into like the bathroom and it would just be me and I'll be like

Yeah

I'm doing every every time every day every day right at work

I do sneaky flex

Yeah, sneaky flex and yeah, because I always have a singlet on under my shirt. Yeah, so

Ripped the shirt off

Yeah, little sneaky flag quick just see how the boys are looking

You know shoulders are still popping up pretty well because I spoke just before the podcast

But I haven't been to the gym since we went together last which was about two weeks ago. Yeah, purely because I hurt myself

You know what could have been pride genuinely because I said to myself I was like I haven't tried to put I haven't tried to bench a hundred for months

Yeah, I haven't tried to bench close to a hundred four months

And I was like I'm sure I'll still be fine to bet a one-wren max like yeah, I'll be I'll be good and I did it fine

Like it went down it went up fine. Yeah went down slowly went up and then I was like you know what no

I'm good. Yeah, so we pull it back up racket, but I hurt myself doing that right pride

I should have just said to you like look I'm not feeling it

I haven't done it for so long they haven't gone close to it

I should have just dropped weight

But it was the pride in me that was like no, no, no, I've done this before. I'll do it again

Like I know I can do this easy done and then I hurt myself and now I haven't been gone to the gym for two weeks. Yeah

So you know pride within reason within reason yeah, and yeah, but it just it's so quickly leads to you hurting yourself

Like because it was just you know what I mean like it was so in my mind

It was just this quick little I probably shouldn't do this and then I was like no no no no no

Yeah, I'll go away. I know what do you are?

What do you a fucking nerd?

Oh, I'm not a pencil neck geek

Yeah, my pencil neck fucking weep

Okay, I'm here to lift heavy things. Yeah, okay. I'm here to see the face of God. All right. Yeah, that's what I'm here to do

Okay, and I did

Two weeks later I regret doing it. Okay, so I don't know pride. It's a weird one. Yeah, it's a weird one

And like I don't like again

It's it's because it's a sin right like it's like that's why I said I'm not religious

But I sort of don't agree with pride because it's a sin to be pride for even though like in

Christians that I speak to will always say that they're proud of shit

Yeah, because

There is sin or like everyone else

It is what it does anyway. I'll go I'll get into a tangent

I'll get into a tangent if I get too much into it

So I'll pull back. I'll I'll love that's that's my opinion on pride

Oh shit, that's freaking out. Do you know? Do you know who's probably also proud?

Uh, and then it's music related unless you've got more stuff music industry

Yeah, proud of the mess they've made

For all the artists

Let's get into it

Speaking of music like speaking of music, Zach what did we listen to uh, we listened to uh

Fuck tape McCraye that's a tape McCraye I can't remember the album there you go

I'm gonna can I just real quick yes, yes, I fucking struggled so hard

To listen yeah, yeah, it was I had it in the background a couple times, but

Uh, I like the main songs that everyone knows they're good

Mm-hmm, but there was something about it to me and it just it just felt like commercial music

Oh, it definitely is commercial because it does all commercial music yeah literally all it is literally all commercial music

So I don't know man. I I hope she wrote all these songs

I want to say I hope she wrote all these songs and you know, I'm gonna give her the benefit of the doubt and I'll say that she did

You know what I mean?

Like it's definitely not looking up on the computer. It's it's division of Sony music and a time in and it's RCA records so you never know

Um, I think later let's have a let's let's have a geese at what think later

Yeah, where is on it? Yeah, I'm having a look. I'm having a look. Okay look. I um yeah, it

I just

I just struggled I don't know if you'll very um tell Swift you know what I mean like it's commercial it's mainstream commercial

Yeah, I just I just really I don't know. I just I guess I wasn't in the

This wasn't the week for me to sit here and listen to commercial

You know music I ended up going back to fucking Yamei. I'm not gonna lie

No, she fucking love that album dude. So good

They know I saw I did give it a listen greedy is a good song. I do like greedy greedy is it's it's entertaining to listen to yeah

Yeah, um, I'm just trying to have a look at who wrote this album

Um, I'm guessing she does because she's a singer and songwriter and a dancer

And okay, here we go writers. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so she's a writer in every single song a lot of um

Sorry, there's banging on my door and it seems to be my song

um

There's yeah, there's lots of other

Riders and it looks like for the most part. It's the same ones on most of the songs

Uh this Ryan Teder

Yeah, yeah, so this is where he's one republic. He's the frontman of one republic

Yeah, there you go Ryan Benjamin Teder is uh is best known as the frontman for one republic

He also wrote or co-wrote on all these songs. He also produced just about every song

Yeah, um, there's also Amy Ellen

She writes songs for Harry Styles just in Bieber, Sean Mendes, Lady Gomez

so there's a lot of

big

You know, writers, songwriters, producers who have been I guess involved in

In this album

Yeah, yeah, it does seem like yeah

she she and this Ryan Teder man um

They absolutely wrote

Together this this is writing together and that's and that's where I think

unless you can be

perfectly

In symmetry with that other person you're not gonna get like your own thoughts out unless the other you know

You know what I mean the one saying is yeah, you can't be completely open

You'll select your gates your guards up and stuff like that and you won't be able to

purposefully express exactly what you'd want to say in your medium which would be in her case

songwriting

And that's why a lot of this does feel

very commercial very ready for radio and yeah, yeah, even though maybe that's exactly what the her sound is

I feel like this like if her next album or maybe the album after that is really experimental sort of stuff

You know how like tonus can be no

Yeah man

Yeah, yeah

internet and that was like him absolutely raw on a fucking plate and it was delicious

Honestly, did the same fucking thing

Tyler the creator did the exact same fucking thing

Yeah, and you've got these perfect experimental albums where they're they're just

They're delicious

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know I agree because she can look

Seems like she can write songs whether it's all her or majority her I don't know but seems like she can write some songs

Yeah, she can sing yeah

She can sing so that I agree there's there's a lot of potential for her if she was to actually release an album where it was purely her

I would like to see that I would like to see an album where it was just take macray

And it was just her writing her music and she didn't you know not having

Assistance from but mind you we might not see that because maybe she doesn't write a lot of it

I don't know I don't know this person. I know her music through ads you know the men through mainstream

Radio and shit like that

But I had never heard of this woman in my life before um, we talked about it last week no

No, that's the first time I had ever heard of her

Um, and then the first song we listened to greedy. I was like oh, kind of

Yeah, I know I know this and then that 1035 with T.S.O

That made a lot more sense now and yeah, and I was just like oh man, I actually yeah, is it X-is this thing X-is is a really big one as well

You know there's there's quite a few on there that I know

But at the same time I'd never heard of this woman before in my life

Isn't that weird?

It is

Isn't that a weird thing when you think about it? It's like there's a song she has a song 1.3 billion streams, right? Yeah

greedy 727 million streams. Yeah, how did I not know and I know these songs even to the point where I know the chorus of greedy word for word before I even knew who this person was how does that happen

Yeah, you know, I'm just trying like I'm not like accusing anything. I'm just I don't I don't get it

We're not here because I don't listen to the radio could it be like could it be like the thing of um

I said we're in the greedy in a movie that I watched you know what I mean like that

It would be it would be exactly the the the TikTok music the

Of course, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And I think I think just recently Sony has taken away all of the

Or it's the other way antique talk is taken away all of Sony's privileges

I think it's because Sony wanted money or something

Oh, and it's always yeah, it's always money related, you know, I mean like antique talk. We're like we don't care because um

Kato on the track. He's a really good producer. He's producer like Kanye and

he's he's a people right and he was talking about it recently um that it's

You know people shouldn't really be upset about it anyway because all it's going to do actually is it's just going to give

smaller artists a bigger platform to produce better music because they're taking away

Yeah, they're taking away all the big artists from TikTok right or the music

So then people just need to find good music to use and in their TikToks to make a new fucking TikTok trend or whatever

They're gonna do

So now people have to search for different music and maybe smaller artists that people don't know about yeah

Well, and that's the thing like the drinks no longer on TikTok

You got to find another commercial

Fuck yeah, it has music's not on because of this only thing um, yeah, you got to find another person who's that's like drake tailorswift

fucking

Gosh, there's this that other tailorswifter like but it's not her

There's so many people there's so many people now not on that platform anymore and it's

And maybe I don't know tamukrey might still be on there maybe not but yeah

The the reason that you know this person and don't know this person at the same time is probably because you've seen it in like

The possibly you know thousand shorts. Yeah, and it's because it's like the the music is so

ready for

Export

Export through video medium that's only gonna be watched for the 30 seconds or the 20 seconds you know what I mean

Um, we'd we'd to think about that this yeah, you can you can

Know a song word for word don't know the fuck this person is yeah, it's just I just

But well for him for it to be so big

Yeah, well that song to be so big but her name to not be that big

But am I am I just am I is my head stuck under a rock or something like you know what I mean like I don't yeah

Well, I don't know how I don't know her name. That's the thing that gets me. Do you know that song that's like

na na na na na na na na na na na na na is that drum and bass fucking like um song? Oh, yeah, yeah, it's a strange is yeah, yeah

That has half a billion fucking listens just on Spotify, right? What's her name? Oh

Fuck I do know it. I actually follow her um oh fuck up. Yeah her songs are in my playlist. Oh, okay

Like Paris Paris is also in there is it because I really like yeah, so is early in my mind, um, and that's what her name can you grace?

That's it. Yeah, so I did know like I do I six songs you pull me on the spot

But I do know her and I have quite a few of her songs in my

My playlist fair. Yeah, yeah, cuz she makes sick drum and bass man. Yes

Yeah, yeah, and I only found and she's an independent artist and she made number one with strangers in the UK

I had no idea who this person was and I've heard this song so many times and it was only because of listening to tape macray

It finished the album and then played this song straight away and I was like oh my god

I've heard of her on the radio fucking a hundred times. I don't know who the hell is yeah, and then looked at it

I was like can you grace oh awesome and then it played it because I liked the stranger song

It played Paris and it played only in my mind. I was like oh my god. There's there's also he's a fucking bangers

Maybe maybe her entire fucking catalog is bangers. She's pretty good spoiler alert

It's all fucking bangers. Yeah, can you grace? We should probably give her a

go at some time I reckon she doesn't have a

Major relationship like a yeah singles. Yeah, that's why we should probably

When she releases an album. Yeah, 110 fucking percent. We would listen to Kenny Grace

I'm gonna give her a follow

Because this is the first time I've followed an artist in

I can't in Spotify in so fucking long I the last person I followed fuck who was it

sick kick

Sleep over there. We got nice. Yeah, holy shit. Yeah, that's the last time. Yeah, that's the last time um

Yeah, um anyway back to the album

Back to the album back to the album. I um

Look, I want to give it more than I want to give it honestly

Because I liked it. Yeah, that's and look. It's not bad. I really it's actually I think object not objectively

But I think on the masses people agree it's not a bad album because it has fucking

Millions billions of strings. Hmm

So it can't be bad. Well subject but

It can't be but it also could be it could be in some people's eyes

It could be in some people's eyes

But in my eyes, it's not bad. I just I just didn't vibe with it this week and maybe I'll try give it another lesson

You know, like during the week this time and see next week. I'll let you know if I was able to get in

To it again because sometimes that happens. Hmm. Um, what was the one of the last ones that happened

Um recently and then we came back and were like this as fucking it

Uh, jeez. Oh

Yeah, no, I can't I

It's been a while. This is the thing. It's been a while. It's been a while since we've been like you know

Wasn't like I'd and I'll try and give it another go. Yeah, I think it might have been like some fucking wrap or something

So hip-hop album or something. I'm not too sure. But anyway, I'm gonna give it just because it's obviously done really well

commercially

Zack I'm gonna give it a seven. Oh

I do like greedy. I like greedy. I like X's there are some's like they're good greed the course and greedy is lit

Yes

Um, and it's done and the album is done amazingly well

And it's it sounds pretty good

It's a seven you know what I mean like it's it's above average but not much fair enough

Uh, you know six and a half six and a half oh well. All right. It's going to be I said no no no because I said it's it's

It's above average but not by much seven feels too far for that

Fair enough let me just tell you what I think though because if you keep talking that score is gonna keep getting lower

Oh, that's a two

Hahaha

Never listen to this it's a one it's a point five

plummeting

Look let me just let me be really brief

Um

This album when I started listening to it I felt the exact same way I was like this is super it's like hyper commercialized ready for the radio

um

There's no point in listening to it because it's regurgitated garbage that's going to

Be filtered out for the rest of eternity you will never see this again sort of stuff

And then I started listening to it more and more and I think I think I went through about eight or nine iterations of this album

Like to the point when I when I think it would have been the fifth listen through

I went as soon as it ended and I went to that strangers on I listened to the stranger song because I fucking dig can you grace yes

And then I restarted the album I didn't just like so I restarted I went to the point of

I'm going to fully immerse into this album and cut my hair

Absolute fucking banger of a song

Yeah, the first fucking hit straight off straight off the fucking bat is an absolute hit of a song um

There's a lot of vocal processing that happens on

This album that I find really really really interesting where it's it's like she's

Uh whoever's whoever's done the vocal processing for her like takes has

Uh, has reduced the bit rate and and also distorted the shit out of it

So that I did notice that it was like we you know this is what I like is that you're really good at like pinpointing

What it sort of sounds like they did yeah technically and I just say it sound weird men

So kind of weird no sound so it been so this was a technique that I found a long long time ago that

Uh could be done in FL studio where

It was like how do you make vocals that sound like Drake because Drake also does the same thing

And maybe it's the same thing that happened here so

They it's in FL studio as well

So what they do is is they they can take the bit rate down or they down sample it

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, and what what will happen is is it takes away a lot of the harsh essays it

Um, it makes the the explosive so let the peas and the beans and the you know all this all stuff

Yeah, it takes away a lot of the power of that so you don't get a lot of the base that like would punch through

Yeah, yeah, what what it ends up doing is is you get like this really like blocky sort of vocal

Vocal just from down sampling it and then when you distort it you get those mini peaks again

So you get like an s that has more sh to it instead of us

Oh, yeah, more of the the the the shush instead of the the and instead of yeah instead of the sizzle with the shush

Yeah, so it's it's an s hate instead of an s

Yeah, yeah exactly and so

It just it makes it a little bit spiky out so it's it's more it yeah, yeah, so

What?

Oh, I've got more knocking on my door

Hang on guys, I'm still going

Almost almost almost almost

Uncle Zach is fucking is gushing over an album

Um

So really cool vocal processing I find I found that really really cool

And especially for a voice that has a really decent range a lot of she puts in a lot of work for this sort of stuff

I'm not gonna even talk about her dancing. I didn't watch any dance or anything like that. Oh, I needed it

I I didn't know that she does dancing

She's it says in a thing Calgary native. She's a she's Canadian

Canadian yeah senior rich

Canada e

Singer songwriter and dancer

Yeah, I'm just focusing on the first two because the last one I don't I don't care I don't care

It's like crispy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like like doing this to a crisp. Oh, let me go

Yeah, we go like you know his but his dancing wasn't on point in this album

It's like neo

Oh, dude, that should be I know. It's like cool. R&B artists. Yeah

So look what I'm gonna wrap it up because like as much as I as much as I really like talking about this album

There's a lot of really good songs on here

Hmm, that's bad

Think later was an absolute hit for me especially

like it like

Put me back on which is not thought he just like flew off the chair

Think like one so late in the

In the album it really perched me back up to like listening to the up so it was like it's like you know

You like ride the roller coaster of the album think later picked me back up because listening to like

I think it was Calgary or is guilty conscience something there

It was something that they're talking back down and then plastic palm trees actually was lit plastic palm trees are really really

Fucking cool song it to round off the end of the album really really cool song

um overall

I

Like it enough to recommend it to other people

That I think would like it you know, you know when you're fair enough you know when you're like oh man

I would recommend sleep token to people

Oh, don't like I would recommend it to whoever

I would recommend sleep token to everyone I would recommend take me cray or at least specifically this album

I'd recommend that to Kim I'd say no you should listen to this album

I think it's good enough to listen to in its entirety and I think he would enjoy it

um

I'd say Jackie probably would enjoy I know she would because she enjoys the songs that like I started playing them

She was like you're listening to this I was like yeah, she's like I know all these like she's like I know songs

I know this person was like yeah, well that's

There you go, yeah, and yeah, so I'm at that point where this this uh

This album I could definitely be like I I would know people that would be like you know what I would I would

Listen to that so I'd recommend it to him. I say and in fact that I'm gonna give it an eight

Nice. It's an eight for me

Uh, because it's it's got enough in it

That makes me makes my brain tingle you know what I mean it makes

As far as like lyrics and stuff like that that doesn't it's engaging enough

But the the work that sort of has gone into the album I can I can definitely appreciate it

Look, this is a thing with lyrics. It's it's one of those things where I feel in my opinion

Like the best lyrics are always the ones that are written for a reason right

Not necessarily lyrics written to fit a song if that makes sense

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know what I mean like what just just in my just from my experience

What I found is that the lyrics that fucking pop yeah is the ones that they wrote years ago

And then it just happened that these lyrics fit the specific song you know what I mean yeah, we could I could I give you a little bit of

Weird history music history yes, absolutely so

Kurt

From Nevada

Hmm rise to co-bank mr. Kabean um the the guy that is a really good painter now he

Uh, it didn't entire wall in like two seconds flat

Well, let me talk about his

writing the

Like like music songwriting stuff. Hmm. He would always say

Don't worry about the lyrics don't worry about the the songwriting

We got to do the music first the music is always first and he

The lyrics he wrote if you look at some of the lyrics doesn't make a lot of sense

No, it doesn't you're right

Some of them are like little stories like if you listen to Polly from there the yeah not the first album, but the first album

Um, isn't it Polly yeah, no music nerds it's not

That

You say

You say

You never mind isn't the first hours like oh well

No, you're not a great, you're fine you got you actually need a fish album. Oh man. I don't know why did that that's so dumb

But like Polly and something in the way that our songs on there that do have like oh, it's a story

But like he was literally just him making sure that the music was really good first and then he's like you know what?

This story wouldn't really fit over this song it's um maybe maybe maybe uh maybe I'm wrong

Because there's there's there's always a place for oh I wrote these lyrics the fucking ages ago

I just wrote these lyrics now and now I need to make a song that fits these lyrics or

I don't care about the lyrics. I just want to make a good song and then you accidentally make really good lyrics that fit with a good song

Yeah, it can work both ways and you get good

You know what one thing that like instantly sort of debunks what I say

I guess not debunks because it's not like fire fucking bang and lyrics

But um man's not hot now

Not even even better these Kanye West's uh that fucking

Scoop Diddy Poop Scoop Diddy Poop

And all because Drake wanted that beat and Kanye was like no one having this beat

Scoop Diddy Poop

Oh man what a you know what you know what we say it all the time it's subjective

Someone might find Scoop Diddy Poop to be the best lyrics on earth

And someone might find it not to be

Who's to say anyone's wrong because it's subjective and no one's wrong so

And for that we we don't apologize actually

I'll never apologize for anything. I will say this though

Sorry for party rocking

Sorry for butter rock dance

Zach what are we listening to? Are we listening to LMFAO next?

We're listening to LMFAO sorry for party rocking it's gonna be huge

We're going back in you know get your big pants on in the the neon

Socks and bras and stuff like that. We're gonna just do back when life was so much better

Back in the day literally only 13 years ago

I only how is that 13 years ago that this album was released?

That means that there are people who are 13 years old 13 year olds right now were born in the same year that party

Yeah, and they don't know how to do the running man

Oh me they don't know how to do the running man it makes me feel real old

Yeah, well prepare to feel even older because you're gonna be going down a trip down memory lane

Oh fuck was it was we heard and to don't with

Oh, Swedish house mafia and scrillex and there is nowhere. Knife party. That's what it was

Oh, yeah, yeah, we had that like four or five times that entire day. We're like, oh my god

It's that song is there it's no worry. Don't you worry child was was the year before?

Yeah, don't you worry everyone played their own version of don't you worry child?

And I heard it like seven times that day. Yeah, dude even bingo players played it

Yeah, but a rattle from bingo players

Yeah, that's all them

My my only you the one song

I what else broken it back my mates dad

Um, he said it sounds like a dance syndrome kid playing a cascio

That's so good

Yeah, that's funny, man. Yeah, that's the secret here, man

The shit you hear from like 60-year-old dudes are just like I'm gonna give a fuck then I can fuck

I'm gonna be like that at 30. Yeah, I turn 30 this year

It's coming up real quick smart

I think we should probably wrap this up. Yes, all right. Yeah, oh first of all

Do we have any fucking voice?

I love that you remind me of this. I used to do the same for you

Yeah, and now the how the tone table

Turns of table

So let's it's let me just say this it's not loading

Uh, it's something's weird. Oh, oh wait, hold up

No

If you want to avoid this embarrassing moment where we hear a scream and nothing comes up

um what you can do for us is

Jump in and give us a voicemail pick up your phone

Go to your keypad tell us about the artificial scarcity of viannabrid

That's right. We want to hear that's never going. I don't know who that man was

Yeah, but thank you because I'm never letting that go just so you're aware

Sir if you still listen if you're listening right now

The artificial scarcity of viannabrid will forever be on my mind

It's sticking to because like yeah, it's artificial scarcity not just with viannabrid but other

This is the reason stuff that there's an artificial scarcity of there's no reason for there to be a scarcity but you've made one dude

This you know what actually this sounds like a guy that went into like a business class

You know what I mean? He did like business study business at university sort of shit that that's what that sounds like

Um, but if you if you want us if you want to also want to

Tell us about the artificial scarcity of viannabrid's act what do they do?

They pick up the phone they go to the keypad they're typing the number

+61 7 5641 1080 and you can leave us a voicemail

You can leave us a meme a message a suggestion for the up in the week or if you just want to leave us

Like absolutely bamboozled with the artificial scarcity of vienna bread you can absolutely do that

That number again is

+61 7 5641 1080

and if you don't have to do the plus you just hold the zero down on your smartphone and it'll it'll do a plus

So that's I don't know maybe that might have been the limiting factor for a lot of people

make

Maybe remember that the number is also in the description of this podcast and video

So you can also get it right there

Other than that to we just we just wrap it up

That's that's it. Oh thank you so much for listening
