Hello and welcome to The prod.cast! The podcast we talk life, work, occasionally music.

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

Hello is me it is Blake of the Bentles you struggle a little there in the beginning that's

okay we'll definitely edit it to make it and win we're not gonna edit shit we don't

low functioning today I'm so happy that I just got to sit in an armory and just like

yeah fix gun fix gun you know like do dumps it like that's all I had to do today which was great

but like we literally went out to get coffee so we had to like because the the booze's coffee

machine was down so we're like fuck this let's go and get right so we drove off we got we we

like arrived at the place this is what I mean my fucking brain is fucked I couldn't even get a fucking

coffee order out a good barely fucking talk can still barely fucking talk yeah and yeah it's and then

I was like oh talking to people at work I can't remember what I was saying the story is going nowhere

you know what you know what I've sort of been the same at work we're in a COVID lock down at the

moment man it went buck wild over the weekend I was like what the fuck have these all these been up

to let's all change rooms and let's all go into one room have you all been like kissing or something

like guys just settled in please isn't that like a big thing like all these like in retirement homes

just like bang no that's that's like that's retirement this is aged care oh yeah this is the step

after retirement this is where this is where all people go and die this is what is man what are

they usually say is like it's the retirement stuff it's like it's just you know it's just a place to

go to to breast off you've done so much work yeah and then the the what you're enough is that is

that's what you done resting you're done finally rest so funny oh it's so sad and so fun man

that's it yeah but yeah so we're in a COVID lock down yeah so it is like dude I'm so I'm so

sick of COVID man there wasn't like I swear yeah I walked down things for a year's look every lockdown is

fine the only thing I don't like about COVID lock down is that I have to wear a face shield on top of the

mask yeah that I hate that that I absolutely hate that part in every other like out because we have

like gastro outbreak it's like all right fuck it's it's exact same procedure yeah right like any

outbreak of any viral anything like because it flows like because if we have like real bad flows

it's an outbreak man flu constipation can kill these people okay

I think sometimes a strong wind literally man you have no idea dude

something like you look at it is just like a how so how are you so sad and morbid be like how are you

still breathing I don't understand yeah man I got told one woman like I was the first woman I got in

right yeah first one that came in anyway and yeah from the get girls she ain't got much time

look she's on borrowed time as it is yeah yeah she is just tooth and nail man dragon is

through through the fucking mind and it really is oh man she is refusing to give in anything up

like god damn dude man you know what that's that's that's fine that's like absolutely f***ing

until the end yeah yeah and it's it's nuts because ever I'm just like man she really just needs to chill

like Jesus need to take a deep nap

you know what's wild you know what's absolutely wild I was thinking about it today and with dumb

brain on so thinking about like having something to do at all times having like a purpose a meaning

to do things not to me and I was like what do you do when you're like like so f***ing old

so like you can still do things like I'm not saying oh they can't f***ing old people don't do

anything no they don't get do stuff they can't do anything but a lot a lot of them do stuff

to reckon the the oldies that are doing shit like live longer oh for sure there you go there you go

for sure that's that's what I'm that's what I was thinking about today I was like if I like because I'm

finding less and less enjoyment with the whole like uh fiddler sort of trade at the moment because I'm

not doing any machining I'm not doing any welding sort of stuff I'm just like ticking green I'm

ticking boxes to make them green sort of stuff and what you use how to do it was um you're turning

someone else in a spreadsheet green yeah yeah that's pretty much it yeah yeah yeah I feel exactly the

same trust me it's that's that's the job really honestly but um and I was like if I if I wasn't doing

this do something else and then I just have to like find the next thing that's like to give you

you know some sort of purpose and I was like what I wonder how long it would take like I'm

wondering if it would like take a lifetime of like just sort of figuring out what you wanted to do and then

you get to like you get to like fucking 80 or 90 I love this man I wish I don't yeah you're like

damn it yeah they always told me to try it too yeah that's right damn it I could have been a dentist

like this yeah maybe man I I will never forget there was this guy I met when I worked at

my to ten right yeah there's this guy me he came in to take photos for the company and I don't

understand how here and I got on this fucking onto this conversation I was just like hey man what do

you want to yeah I'm just like I was taking photos like for my to ten because they're all franchise

stores but it's like you know they're all part of the franchise so yeah you know guy comes out

from head office and he comes down to take some photos and stuff and we just start talking and he's

like me 45 years old he's like that's that's what I found out my true passion was photography no

shit he goes this like pays the bills like doing all this like commercial photography work he's

like but obviously I like going out to nature and stuff and taking photos he said that's that's

that's it so this is my life I love it never been happier like that's how do we get into this conversation man

that man that dude just like literally was just like sitting there taking a picture he was talking

to himself like man it's not you were a flaw in the world to his own yeah in a machinations

some share yeah and and he was just like I love what I do this is all I want to do and I do this to like

I do this pay the bills and then I go out into nature and I take pictures of pretty birds and then

you know what he probably he was just like and this is great and then he just would like walk away

I like to imagine he just he didn't even know you were there he is so lost in his own sauce yeah

he's like I love my life he's like oh hey you're still here

is he really the thing that whole time like did you were talking to me you were you know

I'm he was spitting on me you were yelling for at least eight minutes straight

yeah no seriously I love my job I love my life

seriously though sometimes it's like this is not said 45 years it took him to figure it out

like he was like I don't know I think I think he was like 47 48 something like that he's got the back

half of his life to just continue doing that that's really I loved him in yeah and he was happy and

that's cool I like that I like that I really like that that's cool really yeah yeah sort of gives you

hope right yeah it's it's it's it's something that I was reading about with the fucking

meditation's book that Marcus Relius book where it's it's finding the having the will to meaning

and I read like ages ago this fucking this fucking Jewish dude who was in the fucking like part

of the holocaust was part of one of the like the camps that were like they were like a work camp

but he was a he was a for the fuck he's like a he's like it was a professor at some uni got wrangled up

and was told fucking going like you know you're a Jew you're going into this concentration camp

and it was it but it was like a work camp so it was like you weren't just getting gased you were

fucking working so these dudes were like in this whole camp and they're like eating fucking

they were they were explaining in one part it was like explaining how if you got if you did

something good the guy who doled out the soup at the end of the day which was usually just like

really murky water with like a couple of peas and it's delicious yeah right but like if if the guy

dipped the ladle in deeper and got like some more peas and carrots and like and then dished in your

bowl that was like that was like a big thing right because like you did something a little bit extra

either for the guy that's doing the work or for you know like for around the camp sort of shit you

will it was like a like a mini like little status not a me yeah yeah sure and this guy it's so

weird man yeah prison yeah 100% but the the way because it took years these these guys were in there

for fucking so long yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I fucking when they they were in these camps for like

four or five years before the war even started um I don't know how long this guy was in I think

it does like actually explain how long he was in and when and when to I could be completely wrong

with that but I'm sure that the concentration camps and like the work the labor camps and shit like

that that worked that worked for a while yeah I'm sure they were going for quite a while before the

war started right yeah I don't know about before the war maybe possible I'm so sure as before the war

yeah oh I'll you know what future me will fact check it and I'll leave the answer here

I mean I'm so I'm so I'm so excited to see nothing put there nothing nothing no editing

what's up I'm so excited to see because out out dude out famous saying yeah oh we'll edit that

we'll edit that in we'll edit that out no everyone we absolutely know exactly absolutely

no you know if you do it cool oh yeah the the reason why I was saying that was because the guy you

know that was the this philosopher dude I think his name is Victor Victor E Frankl now um he wrote a

book about this whole fucking thing super cool book and it's free which was really cool um basically

it was the the way that this was like a status symbol it made all of the other prisoners go I've

got to do like extra like little extras um to get that little extra like a couple of peas and carrot

sort of thing like it's the most minute thing right yeah um it had it had certain people

and then other people were just like they'd given up they'd fucking like I don't give a fuck like

you give me water and and that's that's it not die sort of shit yeah it doesn't matter

and um you know they were forced they were forced to sort of eat if they didn't eat they'd

died and then they were thrown away that's that's what the that's what they did but um there was it

was a thing of like they the people who were trying to get more food had like a will a will to power

and that was like to get the status symbol of having more peas meant that like other people would

look to like the guards and shit would look to that person to do like extra work to get a little

bit of extra ration sort of shit and then when that person had the extra rations they could split it

out between the other prisoners so they were always trying to find that next person to do that little

bit of extra work sort of shit and it was it was something called a will to power and which I was

like I think that means like these people are trying to get other people to do more work for them

sort of shit so that they got like the rewards off the backs of others doing more work yeah the way

this dude was talking about he had to find something that didn't involve anyone else like so he

had to find his own reason to stay like alive in these fucking camps and he was like it it

apparently took him ages and he would like talk to other prisoners until I'd be like um you know

what's keeping you here what what you know help because it was it was a therapist I think he was a therapist

yeah and a and a philosopher but like the the way he would deal with people is just like therapy

and talk to people and he would like help it apparently help like all these people that were like super

super fucking obviously very upset about being a police officer like I'm just like thinking about it

like it's dude it sucks and I'm like you know what like this is why why what did they do that was so

bad that Hitler wanted them to die in this way like I don't understand the the the the took

your herbs took the herbs that was like the I think that was like the long and short of it they

they all they they the banking they created the banking system right who did the the the Jewish right

because it's the um the Rothschilds right that that family created the banking system sure

banks have been around no banks been around for thousands of years oh have I banks have been

around for thousands of years banks okay I'm not I wish I was kidding but like you know how like

are you sure thousands yet yeah yeah oh brodans oh true yeah dude yeah of course how fucking nuts is

that yeah I still I still like think about yeah I said to think of how far back brod goes dude

oh I took it back on Rome oh dude man I love Rome man oh dude I just paid so hard there I'm sorry

I'm so sorry oh dude I love Rome man oh my god and to think that Rome existed up until the

first world war I think and and and like that's me too no no no really need to look at the nuts

but I think banking might even be banking and work health and safety stuff like uh uh what what

that thing called compensation compensation so dumb things like just things like that I think

have existed like ancient Egyptian time so even before Romans until like that they were yeah yeah

so I remember uh hearing about this in I think it was in school if a fucking if a house that a builder

built killed the like a son of the guy who fucking lived there the guy could just kill him oh yeah

that's right yeah fucking cool yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah and if and if

and if it was like the law they didn't need a prison no because it was a media it was a media

it either justice yeah or um forgiveness yeah is what it was it was immediate justice or forgiveness dude

I just thought about this Eric Andre skit that I heard like so fucking long ago what didn't

what did dudes do before ladders just just stack a holy for rocks and just just like get on the rocks

and chillin it that's like the whole bit I like like this shit there's like that about to be the guy

just like forever right surely like the book like you know what I mean like the first guy to be like

well yeah lashed together all these bits of wood and now we can get really

Jesus was a cop and uh he doesn't mean he had a laddle you can't just like no

no he's a succumbent little little you tell me that man to know a lot of what I'm saying it might be

even before his time because you gotta think there's people in roofs yeah people have roofs yeah

I don't think people necessarily I don't think there's two story I doubt it I doubt there'd be two

story things there was castles when filly you're you think it of like European castles oh any so

yeah I get it I get they might not be castles in there around like yeah yeah

what is it legit legit my leg Egypt's Egypt was like fucking yeah cuz um

um um you're talking about Alexander the great was like before Jesus so

they had to have ladders Roman I get Romans dude they built the aqua dogs

you know I think they had ladders I know I would assume I would assume

the land Romans would have ladders yeah they were all three those areas they've made the aqua

ducks dude they're fucking what they're all men through those areas though oh shit it's like

it's like conquered that land yeah yeah like like yeah that's what I'm saying um Alexander the great

conquered those lands before Jesus was born yeah there's an ad nuts that's so nuts man

yeah yeah and you know it's crazy I feel more I do for some reason I feel more certain of

Alexander the great which we know like very little of yeah then I do Jesus for which there is like

a lot of information to be fair there's a I look in fact I'm not saying I'm not saying that I am

Christian but this is a lot of there's a lot of about him a lot of time right there's a lot

about him in this book and and you've just got the new testament yeah I know I didn't know this I

mean Old Testament Old Testament is not Jesus so no but like there's there's so many like this is

purely Christian right like this is all a Christian needs to know yeah but yeah but I'll say this

we're in nature all of all of the stuff or there's a lot of stuff that happens in the Old Testament

that prophesizes like stuff in the New Testament like oh yeah like heaps like heaps stuff or it's just like

like angels to get this I'm reading this and I'm reading the war in heaven and should know

that I need to read about that I've not read anywhere I don't know where that is in in the Old Testament

is what there is a war in heaven yes oh because fucking the angels yeah that's how he falls

to that's how the angels fall to oh but I think that might be the book of Enoch as well which is in

the Ethiopian Bible which makes it canon it's just not in the King James that's in the Ethiopian which

is the oldest Bible we we have we know of which is you know it's still canon it's still can't it's

got a bit well that that's what's happening is like there's so many like corroborations within all

of the books of the Old Testament and the New Testament that like just connect yeah it's so weird

it's it's cool man I'm gonna say it's cool yeah like I and I the same with the Quran like I like I

like all of this shit I like all of it's very interesting yeah I and I don't know this thing I

find I just find it really hard to believe certain things right yeah and that's what faith is

a very an a certain point exactly what it is at a certain point right because there's never enough

evidence to you can't prove it so there's not enough evidence to prove someone upon just facts

or just evidence oh my god do you know what what the the I'm so just just a nerd out about

reading some more yeah fucking I'm read I'm currently reading uh you know Dante's inferno

oh like I know like yeah name of it yeah yeah so it's a part it's a three-part series of the divine

comedy where it's inferno purgatorio and paradise oh currently reading I'm reading the kids

every night we read like one like chapter of this bucket thing of purgatorio but like there's this

thing called the four stars purgatorio there it is um so they're the cardinal

virtues represent the cardinal or natural virtues of justice prudence temperance and fortitude so

in the in the in the poem because it's like this is a huge poem um Dante fucking Dante in Virgil

come out of inferno come out of hell right yeah and they're on the shore of this like beach and then

they can see like this mountain right and in the stars in the in the sky they see these like four stars

and it's supposed to represent um the the virtues and it's it's four out of a total of seven virtues

and there's the the natural ones like the earthly virtues yeah which are justice prudence temperance

and fortitude and then there are three more fuck I wish I can't remember the oh seven

laws no fucking try to remember the throughout uh yeah so then the other three theological virtues

or graces which is faith hope and love and you're talking about like faith is in like that's

they're the things you can only sort of get by being like uh what do you call it fucking

out no godly sort of shit or like believing that's that's what you get when you uh

we think there's many many ways to describe it right like you could say opening your heart to

Christ you could say um uh like praying to a lot you could say like you know what I mean like

there's so many ways you could say it I don't know which way is right I don't know if they're all wrong

oh man I have no idea I have no idea fucking this it this is like some like

trad bro star read 110% read dandas inferno okay it's metal

we're gonna have a sure it's it's pretty fucking metal it's not that long of a read and I'm pretty sure

there's like a free version that you'd be able to find or even like like a like a like a um

what do you call it audiobook or podcast that would like read it all for you

like it's it's like it's such a fucking wild read because it's like this guy that's sent on a quest to go to

to basically go through hell purgatory and heaven to like meet god and then because he's

wife dies that's the whole point he that's right he's fucking wife dies and he's like he

goes ask god why no he's like I need to figure out why the fuck I'm put on this earth

and then he gets he gets sent to hell good food and he's he's led there by is led there with a god

and he's an angel and this angel like fucking walks him through hell and purgatory this uh dude this

is the book of enoc no shit what yeah I'm sure it's the book of enoc I'm sure I'm sure enoc is the one

who fucking I need a double check this I'm sure he's the one who visits um

um we do an abook of uh enoc

oh yeah um that's not that yeah in the seventh heaven enoc now guided by Gabriel is allowed to

enter and see the Lord on his throne face to face but only from a distance yeah yeah he is guided

through the seven heavens right which you go through hell to get to heaven and purgatory

you have to go through hell and purgatory yes yeah yeah oh man what are the seven heavens and Dante uh

um fuck oh is it tan heavens tan heavens oh there those shit look I'm just I'm literally just

reading it out the book of enoc is originally what spawned great works like the divine comedy oh

so it is literally yeah the book of enoc is like the straight up the inspiration for

Dante's allegory but this is what what has been blowing my mind lately is there is so much of

everything we know about that is actually like eventually some way back inspired by like

bible stuff yeah yeah just like dude this is the ten heavens right so the first heaven keeps a great

sea held above terrible treasure like storehouses that are based in the clouds I don't know what that means

long go um second heaven has a place of great darkness holding angelic prisons who await judgment

okay what yeah so oh yeah because um uh the angels who fell to heaven after the flood

were reclaimed or died and came back to heaven however it happened I have no idea

I don't understand these things but they are in heaven again and there is a second heaven

where I held just for like I think like the the shit ones or something you know what I mean

this all they're in heaven so like it's not a great place though it's just because it's heaven

doesn't mean that it's heaven for them like they're just held there and they await judgment

I don't end this is the thing that sounds like that's like straight up that sounds like purgatory

yeah what the way that the way that I've been reading this is like purgatory is literally the

the the way it's the seven sins and to to defeat the seven sins and you've got to go up these

seven layers of purgatory and you've got to beat them with the opposite of like

uh the opposite of the sin so like oh man fucking there's the seven uh what's it's called seven

levels of purgatory this is not all of the sins yeah so you got to cry the

cry yeah and prodigality got in the last but there's um the way to beat them I fuck what was the

there's like punishments I'm trying to find like the hell well I'll go on so so there's third heaven

right yeah which has both a heavenly paradise with the tree of life rooted into the earthly

paradise and a torturous place of cruel darkness surfaced by murky fire what the fuck this is not a

heaven so third heaven not a heaven is heaven and hell it's the same plane of existence apparently

fourth heaven contains the dynamics of the sun passing through sets of 12 gates which have

influence on the earth and moon fifth heaven has fastened the prince of rebellion oh yeah and the

Gregory who remains silent until the arrival of enoch so um the prince of rebellion being um it's not

Lucifer himself because there was actually a different like leader of the angels who rebelled

and that's him but I can't remember his name yeah yeah I know what you're talking about

and the Gregory because they ask enoch to pray for them right they say like something

on the long the lines of your like the one going to see god pray for us and like you know and he's

like shook that you know angels are asking a man a simple man to pray for them right so he's

very it shakes him to his call that like the this god has that power that's what he's trying to say

um sixth heaven the residence of arch angels phoenixes cherubim or yeah cherubim I think it's

cherubim yeah and six winged ones who observe the goings on of the earth so everything we do

they know about yeah it's said when you touch a pain oh yeah yeah but I had to blanket on

so they can't see they can't see seven heaven has the many iron ones and regiments of angelic orders

singing to their lord in a gentle voice they eight heaven are called a musaloth

is the change of seasons of drought and rain and of the twelve constellations of the circle of

the firmament now the firmament this is flat earth stuff the firmament is the dome that's we uh um below

we because genesis I can't remember it is it might be even be genesis one or something yeah but it's

like earth separated the waters from above by the um from the waters below with the firmament the

firmament is and whatever you want to call it I have no idea you could argue that that is the um

like oxygen or round of the planet right keeping the or the ozone layer is the firmament it's allowing

this planet to actually hold life I don't know okay um but the circle of the firmament

and then and then you got flat earth as you say that's the dome that's and all all uh

governments are in on it and all what NASA is uh just a lie and yeah yeah all that shit right

um ninth heaven called uh it could chav them uh no um I don't know if anyone listening will be

able to correct me on this shit anyway is where the heavenly homes of the 12 constellations of

the circle are of the firmament are what it's exactly the same thing oh no that's what it says

it's the same thing and then ten heaven is uh where god is yeah so those are the ten heavens that makes

sense um weird place man we ten heavens weird place to the the way just to that's probably

calling it fuck for most people and I apologize but like I also think pretty cool at the same time

yeah yeah like I said this actually I said this to the boys um today I think maybe yesterday um

I was talking we were just talking about random shit and it wasn't necessarily about uh like really

deep into this stuff we're just talking about dump shit and all I all it came to was I was like I

don't necessarily believe in all this but wouldn't it be cool wouldn't it be fucking call me yeah

isn't that a cool thing to like experience like that's cool man yes

um let me um it like proper uh sort of mirrors what what you were saying there's there's

just a contrast with it so the those ten levels of hell and stuff like that oh sorry levels of

fucking heaven heaven I don't think if you're if you're in a place that's like torturous it's not

heaven yeah but this is the thing this is this is the thing right yeah we don't even like the the idea

that we have the understanding to understand what heaven actually is yeah it's ridiculous

of course because we don't live in the same plane of existence that it is so yeah what we think of

what heaven is doesn't matter doesn't matter where our opinions are right yeah i'm just saying like

I'm not saying I believe this this is what I this is the argument for like why like you know you're

saying it's like well that's not heaven it's like no no no this is the contentment the book of enoc with

like Dante's fucking paradise so he the the way he writes about it is that the the heavens are all

in the stars so like as soon as you break out of like the atmosphere or like you know the fucking

earth sort of sphere you as like the the first layer of heaven for him is the moon right how like

it's that that's the weird part it's the moon and then Mercury it sounds very like yes

it sounds sort of similar and but the the and just as just as it was a ten plan of those there

no but there's it's nine it's ten spheres it's like nine spheres but then there's the last one

right which is called the Imperium um so it's it's like ten levels yeah but it's yeah they're called

spheres of yeah yeah that's that's that's paradise so man I'm not ready to read paradise so

no shit at the start the I was watching a fucking dude like talk about it and like you're saying is

like if you've not read the bible reading paradise so will be a challenge like a big massive

challenge because there's it's it's it's the way he writes all of the divine comedy um all of his like

start like starting in hell he writes really like brashley apparently and he writes like

his writing gets better yes because he's because he's a poet he's poetry gets better

right the further he gets near the further he gets to go off

oh okay yeah that's how it sort of work and then like as soon as he like he sort of all of the stuff

that happens in like in fernar where he's like holding on to like earthly shit yeah um you know

he's he's sort of encouraged to um look down on people in hell and then in perigetry he realizes that

you know the people in hell are obviously meant to be there that's that's how it's divine justice is sort

of dealt and then in perigetry you know you're these people have committed sins but they believe but

they need to repent so they walk in circles for a thousand years sort of shit with a stone on their back

because they were prideful and instead of looking up they have to look down now sort of shit then

they walk around for a thousand years but he was taught by the angel that was guiding him was like

yeah you can look down on all the dudes in hell but like these guys are actively trying to do better

and you know even though they've committed sins you can't look down on them because they're

actively repenting sort of shit yeah yeah what's the whole argument I'm like you're no better

you know what I mean yeah yeah yeah that's it and you know what I said dude I said that's

another day and this has been like on my mind right like the fucking I said like about someone

right I was just like man you know what they need Jesus I was like they need Jesus you know what they

just need Jesus and it was like funny and then I was just like thinking about it I was like wow they

need Jesus and like and I don't need Jesus you know what I mean just in like a weird sort of twist

I was like why would I think they need Jesus it was a joke but at the same time it's like it turns

to a form thought expression yeah you know five in is it wasn't a really joke not really

you know it's like yeah like I don't know it made me think it made me think I know I like I like

thinking yeah it's oh my god oh my god yes I'm like not being just the big dumb idiot like I have for

the last like you know 27 28 years oh so we actually thinking we fucking same right yeah essentially it

all just boils down I just want to farm yeah yeah I just want to farm man I just want to farm in

mountains or farm the fucking somewhere somewhere cold much colder than Queensland it's so hot here

I'm so sick of it dude man I came Kim's got like a minor like flu maybe it's probably much worse

because women don't experience flu's like man experience flu's oh man if you get it you lie

I'm down for at least three three to five business weeks yeah 100%

um but like Kim was like yeah I I'm feeling like really shit like I got a dinner because she was

like I don't want to cook and I was like I'll go and get like some loxa from the the corner shop

every night every night for 11 years and and he was telling me he's like I thought it was like just

like a like a thing at first and I was like it's kind of like normal and then he reckons he got to

like the sixth year and it was like I'm sick of hearing this I've had enough and I was like it took

you six years to get sick of hearing Stephen Frye's voice reading Harry Potter novels and he's like

usually I would be asleep before you know I'd hear anything or like it was just so many nights in a

row that I could hear the fucking Stephen Frye talking about Harry Potter and how money and shit like

that was like holy fuck dude and he's like then I just I just like let it go and now I can hear

Stephen Frye read Harry Potter novels and now I'm going to sleep and I'm like oh my god that's

that's fucked up yeah it's it's so like consistent the routine is so consistent now that now he

struggles to sleep with hearing Stephen Frye read the the fucking oh Potter novels how fucking extra is

that through that's nuts man that's proper fucking weird that's so weird man every night for a

little and when I was like oh like so like not every night is like not every fucking night every

night so much so that like he was he was he was telling me that she can like she can like quote pretty

much the entire book like she can live in years I'm not right and she probably done it much longer than

that that's because she's nuts that's scary that's that's scary levels of fucking doing things like that

that's my brain dude yes it is the thing compared why I don't know I don't know dude I don't know

and why do you start doing that as a he was even when he was like can we can you listen to something

else no straight up apparently apparently has she she looked at him like are you fucking insane

what is like a buckle is do you clown they've got Stephen Frye on audio book right fucking now I'm

gonna listen to something else that you would need oh my god so perfect so perfect but uh yeah

that's sorry not yeah dude it was just it was just in my head as soon as I like finished my

rent I was like oh my god that's right Stephen Frye uh that's all the books out for um uh Harry Potter

there you go oh Harry Potter has sir music

fucking hard store stop uh speaking of music uh blank this week we listened to

vultures one from uh Yen Dollarson also known as time they western tied all of

us on uh man I have two thoughts I get yeah I have two two big opinions oh right first opinion I'm

just I'll just be real I fucking really big 99% of it okay it's lit I like it man I bought

belong to most of it not all of it most of it maybe not 99 let's say maybe 70% um but on the flipside

not saying that I am Christian or anything right but like claiming to be Jesus very big blaspheme

right yeah real big blaspheme oh why does it I don't know I don't know either I don't know

he doesn't need to you know what actually I do know what he's a fucking is a maniac he's actually like

like a skitzer he has periods of time where I'm like he he like there's something there and then he

does something else this season of Kanye really needs to shape it up the last thing man fucking

whole change up but anyway other than claiming to be the next Jesus yeah um pretty good

what a big claim what a big bold man yeah yeah but what else what this the thing is like if you look

from the start of his like shit to now like what did you expect he's he's going to be he's like

in his mind he is built up this entire like empire he's now no longer Kanye West he's the idea of

Kanye West yeah man you're not even wrong yeah like there's a reason why he doesn't show his face

anymore like you just has the face mask constantly because there's no more Kanye West there's the idea

of Kanye West yeah that's that's where that's why you know what do whether it's him or a clone or my god

I'll never do his thought of it the mother the Molly Cyrus isn't Molly Cyrus anymore if I can

she died back in like 2007 or something yeah yeah yeah oh man do not shit bear that other that man can

I do it carnival even though this he claims it's the song that he claims to be Jesus the next Jesus

and you Jesus would do that song slaps that first is that first part yeah I can't like

fault a lot of this album like it actually sounds really good and after I listen to it a couple of

times I fucking was like I wanted to know for no good reason at all I think it like just sort of popped

in my head I was like I wonder what the internet's busiest music nerd like one of our peers I want to

say is on level with us Anthony Fantano aka the needle drop I wanted to figure out what he thought about

it and he was just this is the first time I was like Anthony Fantano and Kanye West have so much

in common because they're just fucking raving lunatics I was like what the fuck are you talking about dude

okay he said he didn't give it a score he said it was unreviewable because the mixing was so

fucking bad the lyrics were absolutely trash and the lyrics were pretty bad like I'm not gonna lie

trash the whole album like some of the lyrics would fuck with fucking trash like I won't yeah

yeah um beautiful but what is that beautiful but naked big titty

bitch oh shit don't fall out of the sky you know yeah yeah yeah yeah and I thought about that

one was like it cool beautiful but naked ladies don't just fall out of the sky you know

that what a line and just like oh he just sends it he just sends it with absolute earned confidence I

think yeah this guy's been doing it for this long that he knows when a good line is gonna like

hit for some people at least at least a lot of people you say that man you're getting hits yeah

meanwhile Anthony fucking bullhead Fantano that plays guitar once or twice and he's like I think

he plays bass guitar I don't like it anymore I don't like it anymore

first place that's right as one of our peers music reviewing peers I now write him

fucking unreviewable that man fucking sucks um imagine being the internet busiest this is now just an

Anthony Fantano rant I can imagine calling yourself the the busiest music nerd and not reviewing an

album because you're like I'm so sad this this fucking makes me sad sort of shitting me like I'm not

gonna give it a score I'm not gonna do the job that I claim to do so hard like fuck you it is

it's it's it's it's it's like the first time he's like ever gone I'm not reviewing this or it's

unreviewable yeah like yeah give it a review do something unreviewable even if you gave it a one I'd be

like okay cool well he's he's there's someone to say you know what one it couldn't have been worse

exactly to him yeah that's one that's what one instead he said I'm not I'm gonna excuse myself from

the responsibility I've given myself you know what I mean yeah you know I'm not unfortunate I

feel like I should rate it a one for the blaspheme just just you know what up the trend fucking Christian

love yeah like at the same time I'm like ah look I realized I honestly I don't have a big problem

with it it's it's just I know I I can't agree a lot with what no you know what you know what it is

is like there's certain thing like because I would disagree with someone like claiming to be a

law whatever you know like I would disagree with that too and I would be like I but then at the same

time if the song rocks I don't know like yeah it's like about it slaps yeah I've got I've got no

massive drama with it it's it's it's like it's a massive claim but like if you look at Kanye's life

and the way he leads it yeah like that's the thing is like he's the next the next thing yeah exactly

he's crazy the next thing for him is to claim that he's Jesus and then the next thing for him is to

like just fucking I don't know a send yeah just float off into the fucking sky you know what I mean

like oh shit oh oh oh one day he just he just gets fucking raptured and then yeah like boom he's gone

see a little yeah yeah yeah so it's it's the thing of I I like it and I don't like it

just there's just I know I think there's more of it than I like than I don't like

oh yeah and I know what I agree I don't want to I don't want to yap on I don't

want to be a yapar and yap on too much about it what do you what do you this is this is my only

thing is I don't I don't think I'll come back to it that much right I like it but I don't think I'm

really gonna come back to it yeah to be honest I'm gonna say seven and a half oh would you say a

a strong seven a strong seven and a half decent seven no I would say carnival slaps but like the

G just I just feel bad I don't know why I don't even believe you know what I mean I'm not even

Christian but I just I don't like that part um but then back to me fucking a big beautiful but naked

big kitty bitches don't fly out of the sky you know they don't oh so they don't

yeah it's so good off you know he's not you know what it would be a fucking you know what I agree

with the lyrics part it'd be a 10 out of 10 if the lyrics will lit yeah I'm not even kidding man it

would be a 10 out of 10 if the lyrics will do you remember I think the lyrics do matter within reason

because I love um scoop did he poop as well yeah but I don't just go around listening to it no no

one does no no one just goes I'm gonna put on scoop dee whoop yeah you know like no one does

unless you're listening to me back to me is the fucking coolest song but I die won't listen to it

I ran out yeah that's that's in the car but I'm too bad

it'd be a 10 out of 10 if he did better lyrics but you know what that's it's his thing it's his thing man

this is Kanye yeah I just can't yeah what to be no Kanye died a long time ago

like you said Kanye Kanye West the man died a long time ago Kanye West the personality and business

- Is the only thing living there?

- The brand, the brand.

- Yeah.

- Can youupbeat the brand?

Is the only thing still alive there?

- Do you remember the Drake Kanye West thing in 2021,

where it was like "Who's going to release their album first?"

- Oh yeah.

- And Certified Boy Love of a fuckin' came out and fuckin'...

And Donda, Donda came out.

- Yeah.

I remember hatey Donda...

- You know "Donda Hardness" for me.

- Yeah.

I remember hating on "Donda" so hard,

and then I was like "Sortified Boy Love of a fuckin' woo!"

But then you listen to it more and more and you're like,

"I can't do this anymore."

(laughs)

- I really wasn't as good as I remember.

And then I went back to, I remember going back to Donda

to sort of like listen through it and I was like,

"It is still..." - "It is still..."

- "When you remember?"

- It's a little, and I would say like,

when I raided it I was like, "Man, this fuckin' sucks."

As a whole album.

And then I was like, "It doesn't suck as much as I thought it does."

As I thought it did, but it's not great.

- Yeah.

- It's not even good.

I don't fuckin' like it.

- Yeah.

- I was like, "There are some like that."

- Yeah.

- That's it.

- I don't know.

You know what?

I won't go back to Donda.

That's fine.

- No.

- It's not for me.

- No.

- Oh man, you know what?

It shits me off.

The fact that he made "Donda" too,

but you could only get it if you were through that fucking...

- Fucking speaker thing.

- Yeah.

- Like, "What a sell out fuckin' weed contraption idea

to be like, this will be the future."

And you can play with the stems.

- Wow.

- And, but like, you literally put your mum's name on it

and on the album and said this is like the only way you can listen to it

is if you buy this $200 gadget

that you will never fucking use for anything else.

Fuck you, Kanye.

You know what?

For that, this fucking album, you know.

Everything you've done to me, Kanye, you piece of shit.

Fucking four.

This voltage went for.

- I don't care.

I don't think he was shit.

(laughs)

- It's...

- You're swaying me, man.

- Yeah, 'cause like, I, you know what?

Like, yeah, like, I'm not Christian,

but I feel for the Christians.

- It even makes me think that like,

all of the lyrics that he writes now are just solace.

- Yeah.

- Like, to do everything that he's done since,

like, I don't know.

- Maybe you'll make "What's Too Far Off"

but he still should've at least rated it a one, yeah, yeah.

- I just realised, I totally turned myself around

from like, it's not bad, it's not bad, aren't it?

- Yeah, you do turn me too.

- It just dove man, from the start of like,

oh what do we listen to?

Like what do we listen to this week,

it's now gone to fuck you Kanye West,

you get nothing from me anymore?

- I mean, like the more you think about it,

like you said, like the 'don't the two thing man'.

- Yeah.

- Yeah, and then absolutely, no, you know why?

It makes me think that Ty Dolla's time put all of it

into this fucking album and Kanye just like laid some lyrics

down and some shit lyrics.

- No, I reckon he probably did more beats than lyrics.

- Oh, you reckon?

- Because Kanye West is a producer.

Like he's a producer at that rally.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right.

You are correct.

- He's, yeah, which makes him fly beats.

- Yeah, yeah, it's by a beat.

And then he just like, you need someone else

to break his drawer again so that he can...

- You know what, yeah, you need public too.

- Public too.

- Like, fucking, what is runaway?

That was, somebody else produced that.

Like, a lot of his like big, big hits were produced

by like other people as well.

I'm not saying that, I'm taking that away

from his producing or anything.

- No, no.

- Take away.

(laughing)

- I'm coming, man.

(laughing)

- No, I'm just so, I look, you know what,

man, I said seven and a half.

Look, oh, it's coming down.

I'm, yeah, yeah.

Oh, Kanye West sucks.

Fucking bring that to court.

- Yeah, I can't, man.

He blasts beams so hard.

- Yeah.

- I mean, I feel like I have to give it a one, two,

but I won't.

I won't, 'cause the beats are really cool

and I do like them.

I'll give it, you know what?

I'll give it three.

I'll be honest to myself.

I'll be honest to myself.

Holy shit, I brought you down a hole four and a half points.

- Yeah, look, don't, don't, don't, don't.

- Now for my true feelings, I love this album.

It's a thing.

- Yeah, you're like, I actually, you're a love,

Kanye West.

- And he is, and he is Kanye.

- Yes, Kanye West.

- Kanye West.

- Come in, Kanye West.

(laughing)

He's been here the whole time.

- He's been listening to every word he just said.

And I lied about everything I said.

I said, you are up.

I'm a little finished.

- Oh man, dude.

- I don't know, he says some crazy shit, but you know what?

Yeah, why did he have to climb to be Jesus?

I just don't know.

Look, you know what?

And this is the thing, like, everything used to be so fun

to like bash on Jesus, right?

Like Bible bash and stuff.

But you know what?

All of the religious people I've met,

all, and I'm just gonna say they're all Lutherans,

so I don't know if like, that's a thing or not.

What do you mean?

- I love Catholics as well, actually.

You know what?

So maybe it's just Catholics are devout, man.

- Yeah.

- You gotta be working on a Catholic too, you don't know.

But you know what?

They're all nice people.

- Yeah.

- They're all real nice people.

We're a God, but it's actually, yeah,

a couple of J-Home mates, yeah, so.

They're cool too.

They're fucking cool too.

- They're all all right.

(laughing)

- Anyway, I don't know where I was going with that.

- I'm in your friend.

- Um, three.

- That's fine, let's move on.

I'm done.

- I'm done with Kanye.

- Blake, guess what we're listening to next?

- Man, you know the next one,

I'm actually really excited for someone, dude.

I'm so happy.

- Dude, this is the turn of rear they needed.

- 100%.

And like, I wanted to use a,

just Kanye West was out of touch.

Something, wait for me, kiss on my list, say it isn't so.

That's right, we're listening to

Daryl Hall and John Oates.

Hall Oates, we listen to a compilation mix,

it's only 18 songs, it's from 2008, it's called The Singles.

- Yeah, it's like The Best.

- Oh, it is The Best.

- The Best hits.

- Yeah, it's 18 of only the greatest hits.

- The Tim top.

- Oh, dude, I'm so keen to listen to this.

'Cause you know what, like I said,

the more I listened to Kanye

and the more I actually looked into the lyrics,

I thought the same thing.

I was like, dude, I haven't been listening to the lyrics.

I was like, like, reading the lyrics, I'm like,

"Oh, dude, this is garbage."

It's like this is really garbage.

- Yeah.

- I guess really shit.

The beats are really good,

but then once you start listening, it's shit.

Hall Oates,

the fire lyrics dude.

- Fire lyrics. - I know, it's, yeah.

- Absolutely great storytelling throughout the music.

- And, they're cool dudes.

- Yeah, yeah.

- They're fucking, when, who was it?

I think Daryl Hall,

we talked about this with, when we did "Nero."

- "Dustin' James Sessions?"

- Yeah.

- Yeah. - Oh, yeah, that as well.

Fucking, yeah, on YouTube.

- That's, oh my god.

Some of them are so fucking cool.

- Dude, so good man.

- With, ah, Niles Barkley fucking,

- Yeah. - Oh man, that's so fucking good.

- That's a good one.

- But no, when, remember when we did that Nero album,

"Walking in the Alty?"

We were all saying, like, that would next door,

they were like, "Hey, Daryl,

do you wanna, and he just laid down like the,

the lost verse from "Out of Touch"

on one of their tracks.

- Oh, this is so fucking, man.

- So sick.

- Yeah.

- Something, oh.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

(laughs)

- Yeah, just, oh.

- Everyone who actually, like,

like, listens to, like, that grub listening to that,

you hear it, as soon as you hear that,

- That's like, yeah.

- There's planted my head right now, man.

It's good song.

- Yeah, we're gonna listen to Daryl Hall, John Oates,

the singles.

I'm keen.

I'm real keen, man.

- Zack, I'm fading.

- Well, you have faded.

(laughs)

- I'm dead inside.

- All right, excellent.

Well, in saying that, let's wrap it up.

- 'Cause thank you so much for listening.

- Thank you so much.

We're literally, without you, we don't do it.

Which is, I reckon we'd still do it.

- Probably.

- It'd just be a lot less incentive

to keep doing it every week.

(laughs)

We'd probably do it once a month.

And, you know, I probably wouldn't record it.

We'd just talk to each other.

- We'd probably just hang out and talk, honestly.

I think, you know, like, just, just, like, on pod,

thank you for coming in all the time

and doing all this shit.

- Oh, that's fine.

- Hey, man.

And, you know what, Zack?

Thank you.

(laughs)

- Listen, like, another five minutes.

Just suckin' each other off.

(laughs)

- Look at the absolutely suckin' each other off.

- Oh, man, fuck that.

- Thank you guys so much for listening.
