The Prod.cast

Hello and welcome to another episode of the podcast podcast. We talk life, work, and occasionally music. My name is Switchblades for Kids and the other half of the podcast. My name is Blake Bentley and I haven't done an intro for a hot minute. I get I just realized now, and I was like as you started saying it, I was like, last time I said that because you started it off. You started the end.

How you going? I got a vasemail on Friday and then last night went to the Regiment ball, which is funny because I went to the ball with my ball snipped. Yeah, I did. And it hurt. It looked really nice. Yeah, it was actually really nice because me and Kim got there a little bit too early because I'm on Queen Street and we got there a little bit early and right on the outside street because it was like there's a place called Tattersalls Arcade, which is like just an L shape inside of a building. And then the actual Tattersalls Bar, I think it was called, it was in the corner, inner corner of the arcade. But just on the outside was the Pig and Whistle. So, yeah, me and Kim just went to the Pig and Whistle. Turned out that's where everyone else was as well. And yeah, we just chilled out in there, had a couple of drinks and then fucking went in. It was beautiful room. Yeah, huge table filled with delicious foods. And waiters, like, rolling around with, like, full trays of, like, beers and wines and champagnes. And then they open up the bar, like, literally 15 minutes after we got there. And it was like basics. So I was on rum and dry the whole night until I ran out of dry. And then I was like, oh, fine, rum and coke then. It was delicious. I think I had like at least eight rums and then like three beers as well. So I think I got my $75 worth. $75. $75 for a ticket. So me and Kim, $150. I'm pretty sure I ate enough to COVID at least my ticket. And then I drank the rest of Kim's ticket. You know you've had a good night, right? When you actually, like, you get more than what you pay. That's a good night. What was really cool about the place was we were just on the bottom floor, but the whole top area was like, you could just go exploring. So me and Red, my corporal, we were just looking at each other, like, let's go around. Let's go and have a look. And so we just grabbed a couple of drinks and then we just started doing our own little tour. And we went to this room and there was like a slot machine, but it was so old. He thought it was plastic at first because all the rooms were dark and we didn't know where the light switches were. So we walked into this room. The building is fucking old, by the way, like, it was 1926 when this building was made and yeah, I know. And so we've gone in there and we're like five years old. 1926. It was like an office that we walked into, like someone's office. And we just opened up the door and we're like, oh, cool. And so we went in there and looked like there was, like, membership sign up things and looked like this was the place to go to become a member sort of thing. But there was this little slot machine that was like, so fucking old. It was made out of this real thin cast steel or cast iron. And it had, like, instead of like a normal slot machine, where obviously the new slot machines are all electronic, but it was like tiny little poker cards. And then there was a row of five and you'd press down the button and release and it would spring release all these wheels and then they would just stop, right? And it looks so cool. It's so weird. Yeah. So I got, like a little video I've read, play the slots a little bit. Then it was after that we realized that right on the front of it says, for members use Only.

It was like something like, nonmembers are completely not allowed to touch this thing. And then we're like, oh. And then we had another spin

because I was like, doing a video and Reds fucking pressing the thing. And he's like, come on, come on. He's like slapping the machine, pressing the fucking thing, like it's going to pull up the cards. Overall, really good night. I think we left a little bit earlier just because I was really sore. You have a bit of a drive, too. A little bit of a drive. And it was mainly the soreness because I had a sexy on Friday. Yeah, I tell you what, I fought the knockout drug, though, of course, out of it. You say that. You tell me. You do this every time. This is the thing is, I've only had

the other time that I've been knocked out is when I got these wisdom teeth taken out. I haven't got these ones taken out yet, so I'm saving this up for my third time, trying to fight the juice. But this time I was, like, talking to them and then I was like, oh, because you sort of feel, like really spaced out. And I was like, oh, it's in, it's in. I'm darling. And then they're just looking at me and they're just laughing.

The nurse the nurse that was looking after me came up to me afterwards and was like, that was possibly one of the funniest knockouts we've had in a long time.

Apparently my volume went up heaps when I realized. So I just started, like

screaming,

just knocked out,

watching that happen. Oh, man, with your fucking riding some shit.

Happening. Yeah, I fucking laughed about it. Apparently snipped me up and then fucking told me that they were laughing for a little bit. Yeah. I'll tell you what. If you want free Brazilian as a man, just get your fucking your ball snipped. Well, they clean everything around. Yeah, they fucking like literally the entire area. Not the whole thing. I've got, like a nice little bush up top. Just above just above the shaft. The size is all good, man. All around the sack. And man, they cleaned it up real good. Right of the shaft. Like above like top right. Top left of the shaft. No, they didn't go too far because they just needed to get to the balls. But apparently I'm very hairy. So they cleaned up a lot. And tell you what, looks great. Looks great. Yeah. I might start doing this more often. I'm guessing that was their thought, was, man, this guy needs the Lawnmower 4.0.

I'm going to cut this. I'm going to cut this part and I'm going to send it to menscape. Yeah, that's it. Hey, look, if only I had a Lawnmower 40, please sponsor us. My dear friend had his ball stop. They didn't know what to do. We need money for his depression.

Other than that, that's been my entire week. Pretty much just deering up for vasectomy and also getting to the ball, which was fun. I danced a lot, drank a lot. Yeah, without the balls attached. Yeah, they're still there. They're still there. You know what? Just before I ask you how you're doing, my mate actually thought that they removed the tentacles. He thought that the vasectomy was they cut open your sac and then take the balls. You know how, like farmers take sheep's balls or like dog balls? You just literally remove them. They just take the nuts. No. I was like, dude, no. And I was like I was surrounded by two other dudes that had fucking vasectomies as well. And they're like, are you fucking serious, dude? They don't take your nuts, dude. And he's like, what do you mean they take your nuts? That's why I'm never getting don't take your nuts, dude. Three people telling you they still had the surgery and like, men still need them. They're still there. Yeah. You're not supposed to not have them. Because his idea was, oh, you're going to get those fake plastic ones. And I was like, what? So I can have like four nuts in my sack? And he's like he's like, what do you mean? Another pair of bolts? I already have a pair of balls. I need a second pair of vaults. It was so good. He was the ones you won't have them. There's dog nuts that they put in fake dogs.

That's it. That's been my week, man. How are you doing? What's been cracking in your life? I started my new job. Yeah. Hell yeah. I'm not going to name or say exactly what I do or where I work or that's the dumb shit. The government yeah, it's government funded and I do very little, in all honesty. Okay. Look, I can see how this could be very hard for some people. Yeah, it's not hard for me. I think we can say that you are a salesman. We can say that I talk some shit. Yeah. The job you're in is sales, but all of the work has been done for you, pretty much, and you just do the paperwork, I guess. I don't even need to chase leads. They just come to me. That's not that is the hardest part of sales, is getting leads. I was going to start revealing, but I'm not no, I love it, though. It's such a cool job that you've got. Look, it's an aged care. I'll talk about what it is. Excellent. Yeah, it's close. It's much closer than where I was going in now. And they pay for my fuel. What I will say is, now I can say, look, people are going to get old, so they have to come to someone and get old and get a bed. You know what I mean? Like, that's the job, at least sales in age care. I've been training with one of the birds over in Toowoomba, and there's like a million aged care places in Toowoomba. Yeah, because the old farmers go to retire. Literally what it is. All the old farmers go out there to retire. Apparently, like, five new facilities built in the last five years. Oh, wow. Like, not from the place where I work, just all competitions, just overall. Wow, that's a lot. Well, that's the thing. Longevity that we have as humans now, like, our lifespan, it's gone up so much. There's some residents who are, like, fucking close to 100 us, probably. Residents that are 100. Honestly, you should find out who's 100 and ask them to talk to them. Be like, hey, fucking have you got a letter from the Queen yet? She's dead.

Before she went before you go, did you get a fucking letter from the Queen? Did you win? Which is nice. That's good. It's pretty rude if they do. I got one weekend. I have my own office, I have a laptop. It's actually pretty fucking nutty, I'm not gonna lie. That's cool, man. Even to the point where I've been told I was just saying to you before we started recording, it's too nice. The people are too nice. My boss is too nice. The work is too easy. I get paid too well. I get benefited, too well. It's just ridiculous. I just bragged. I just don't feel like I should be there. It's good, though. It's great. Well, then enjoy it for what it is. That's all you can do. That's all you can do. Listen, I'm sure there will be more involved the more I get into it and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But so far running through. I've had two normal days. Just shadowing I'm not going to name Nazis. Shadowing my trainer. And I said to her, I was like, is this like an average day? First day, she's like, yeah, pretty average day. Cool. Second day, this is a pretty average day. She goes, other than one guy doesn't want to get rid of his car, right? One old dude nursing home bund. You don't need a car because they're going into a couple's unit. I don't know. They're a couple of units. So there's a couple of unit, right? Okay. Four couples, two beds in a room, and they have a bathroom, and it's like lit. He doesn't need the help. Yeah, okay. But his wife does. So he's sort of semi looking after his wife as well. Well, he's too old to care for her home care. It's too much. She needs full time care now, okay? So the issue is that she needs to be in there, but he doesn't. And he doesn't want to go in there because he wants his independence. Because he's old and stubborn, right? Yes. As we all are. As everyone gets when they get old, they get stubborn. They want the good old days. He goes, how am I meant to get to the hospital? They're like, we'll get you transport, because that's what we do. He's like, what if I want to go to the shops? That's a full service. We'll get you transport. Yeah, it's what we do. And he's like, well, what about my car? Like, sell it. It'll help pay it. Give it to someone else. Yeah. Wait, there's no parking? No. Well, then, yeah, he's parked. Yeah, he can park it on the street if he wants. Yeah, that's it. God, work on it out there. What is it? Was it like a fucking shit box? I don't even think it's a good car from the stands of it. Like if it was like an old classic fucking Ford or holding or something. Yeah, okay. But if it's like a fucking Toyota Corolla, like a buddy, I think it's just like a shitty old Corolla. Yeah. Like, chill out. Chill out. Yeah, just sell it, bro. You don't need it. You know, I think it's the thing of like I think you were saying this a little while back, that there's a reason, like, guys just will be fucking happier when they just get into a car and just drive somewhere. And I think I realize it's from my dad because there'd be times where he'd be because I think you said this or I might have heard it somewhere, but I realized it was also my dad doing this as well. If there was a time where they were just like mom and dad were just sort of talking in any sort of argument or something like that, he'd be like, I've got to go put fuel in the car. And he would just jump in the car and there's no contacting. You can't talk on the phone. He would just put on music and drive, and then he would get you the fourth petrol station, three others. It's a thing of, like, you get in the car, you can't be disturbed. You were just gonna go for a drive. And it's so peaceful, relaxing, very independent, and it's fantastic. Yeah, man, go for it. Get it. Blow it out. Third time is a charm. God damn it. I did not want to go out, man. Yeah. I'm getting, like, a sore throat. I'm, like, from blowing out candles. No, like in this fucking room. Oh, get some candle gone in this room again. Lemon and honey and some tea. Get that going. Yeah. Some of the folks at your work to make you some tea. I thought you wanted to put on tornadoes of the guitars.

Shit, man. But yeah. So you started a new job. Pretty lit. I don't really think there's been much else. Honestly, this week has been pretty chill. Yeah. Just been cruising. Yeah, just been cruising. I only work four days a week now, though. All right. It's pretty nice. I don't work five days. I'm trying to get into bunnings, but I'm going to beat that out. I'm going to need you to beat that out. Yeah, I can beat that out. That's buddy, I'll mark that time. Actually. That's a good point. I won't really have to, but I will anyway. That's funny.

I got to remember not to use fucking names or places because we live in a small place, man. Yeah. You know what? I can bring up the fact that we hold up just before I say this. I think we're about to hit 15. Oh, my God. As of right now, as of recording this at 09:34 p.m. On a Sunday night, the 6th of the 11th, 2022, we have 1500 downloads. Wow. 1500 downloads. Really? 100%. I'm looking at it right now. 1500 downloads. 80 published episodes from today. That is fantastic. It's huge. It's massive. 1500 downloads. And it's all because of you. The viewer is also funny. Not funny, but wild is that it's all organic. We've done very little promotion. I think we haven't paid for a single ad. No, it's all been working. Let's take a minute to thank everyone. I thank all of you. I appreciate all of you. We found out that there's some people that listen that we sort of haven't spoken to for ages, and they're just like, oh, hey, yeah, I listened to your podcast. I'm like, this is insane. It's weird. They have, like, this weird they know what's going on in our lives, and I don't even know that they exist right now. Yeah, that's the thing. People that you were in touch with and you sort of just fall out of touch. It's not like you're not friends anymore, but they're still listening to us. It's such a weird interpersonal thing. But it becomes very parasocial at the same time where you're like this, then you're split up, but you're still involved in one person is still involved in your life and they're still listening to one person has no idea what's going on there, and they'll be like, oh, Blake, there's that new job. And you're like, I didn't tell you about that. How did you fucking know about that? Oh, man, that's crazy. I love it. But, yeah, 1500 downloads and all. I have to say thank you very much for your consistent and continuous support. It's absolutely overwhelming and I love it. I love it. It's fantastic. You know what? I want to keep doing this. Can you leave reviews on Spotify? I think it's only on itunes, maybe on if you listen on itunes, give us a five star review, send it, do it, and just write Big Dumbo, Dmbo and SMLT. Big Dumbo. Here you go. Five star big dumbo. Yeah, I'd love it. And if you can review any of our shit on any of these other fucking platforms, that's all you got to say. Big Dumbo. Happy day. I'll be like, they actually listen if you say anything else. You don't listen to this podcast. Yeah. You don't listen if you've run a review and left like a Google review or anything of anything that we have for this podcast and it doesn't say Big Dumbo. You obviously don't listen. You haven't listened to every episode, literally every episode. You're just not listening to us. Every single episode, I tell you to leave a five star review with the words Big Dumb, but I haven't seen it done. So I don't understand where these downloads are coming from because no one's listening. No one fucking listens. Will say that we were at 1400 last week. No, the week before. So we've showed up quite a fair bit. We got like 100, like a week or two. I think it was in like a fortnite or something like that, maybe not, but it was a big jump. It was fantastic. It's beautiful. Yeah. And I think it's going to eventually get to a point where we're going to have to, like not have to but I think we should start promoting this probably with paid ads, and we probably should yeah, we'll do something we should get back into is making music. Yes. Because I noticed two things about myself, and it was today, and it was the fact that I've sort of stopped working out at the moment because obviously I'm kind of injured at the moment, but I've also kind of broken something. Yeah, I'm a little bit injured at the moment. And I've also had the snip, but that was on Friday. I've sort of been off working out for about two weeks. So it's been a struggle. It sucks. It feels bad when you stop and then you notice that you're stopped and then you go, I feel bad and I'm at that point where it's like, okay, I feel like an idiot because I've sort of stopped. And the other thing that I noticed that I stopped doing a little while back that I know that makes me happy all the time is making music. I agree. Actually, you're going to have to fucking bring it back and get some of those beats popping again so that we can at least share them with someone. Yeah. And I want to do some vocal stuff again. I haven't been doing vocal shit for ages. Really cool. If I can release that last song that we're working on and where we tried to match the harmonies up on that intro version. Yeah, that's still a thing. I think I changed the pitch anyway. That's fine. We'll talk about that. That's a whole nother thing I was thinking about because fucking JSON and Christopher have been making music recently. I was just like, man, I should really make some fucking music again. We should add that into our schedule.

Obviously. The rest nights can be like games and show that. I think we should have a night dedicated to making music producing. Because we are the broadcast for producers, which we are producing something. What I would say have you noticed that every week I change everything that's important to producers? Like XXX I haven't looked at every single one. Oh, no, that's fine, that's fine. But it's never I think I think maybe a one to chance that it is actually something relating to music production. Every other time it is just like some random fucking thing. And I make sure to add it all in. If you're listening right now and haven't had a look, have a look at the last maybe three episodes. And you'll also notice something else. The fact that we've got thumbnails. I've been using Dali to just make AR generated thumbnails and then just slapping some text over the top of it. It's better than nothing, I would say, but also adding like a little bit of something extra to it so that it differentiates the different episodes from week to week. I need to fucking put them as the thumbnail for in the videos. Yeah, well, that's right. That's a future thing. That's a future thing. Now we've got all those they're fucking in there. There's no reason I can't do it. Well, we've got them. We've got them. Yeah, I think I've got speaking of music, but not dumb music, I was saying I've got a track that I think I'm going to upload to, that Cyberpunk. Oh, nice. Yeah. But it's just going to be that one that I was with, that EDM track that I was working on for ages. Because I'm thinking of just uploading the fucking fluence side EDM track I made. Yeah, go for it. Yeah, 100%. That sounds good too. I think it sounds all right. I would like to mention the fact that we're now in November yes, and you know what that means, Blake? It means it's November. November. No, that's fine. I'm not doing it right. I plan on doing it next year. That's fine. That's good. It's good that you have a mo, because in November, it's the source accounts. I shaved mine off, obviously. I run a mow all year round now. It's all gone, but it's slowly coming back. Obviously. I saved this on the first and, yeah, there's only six days of growth, and it just feels like two days of growth compared to my cheek. You know what I mean? You get, like, two days of gross on your cheeks and you're just like, oh, man. This is all I get out of my mouth now. Well, see, I don't really shave my face very often. I shave every fucking day. Almost every day. I'm a big beard dude, man. I think I always have a beard. I just like having a beard. Well, I think there's going to be a new army policy short, too. Yeah. Get this. As of I think it was last week or the week before the RAF, so the Royal Australian Air Force are allowed to have beards. Wow. They're allowed to grow beards now, just like the navy. Which means there's only one branch of the Australian Defense Force left to allow beards. And I would say in the next five years, things could drastically change. Where, buckle up, boys. You won't have to shave every fucking day. How good would that be? So if you're in the Air Force, you can just not shave now. You can just not shave. Not shave, grow old beard. You're a man. You're a man again. To me. You're a man. A flyboy man. Fly man. A flyman, if you will. Instead of a flyboy man, you'll be a Timmy man. That's it. Yes. We're no longer Timmy. We will call you Chad. Yeah, that's it. But in the spirit of November as it is, Men's Mental Health Awareness Month would like to take the opportunity to say, if you are feeling down, you're in a bad place. It is not the end of the road. This is not what defines you. You will go on. You will see the next day it does get better. Exactly. Whatever you're feeling right now is not final. No. And if whatever you can do hard sometimes, you know, yeah, that's it. Things will get hard. But life, that's life. And you will see the next day, if you are up to it, try and talk to someone. Talk to a friend, talk to a stranger. And if you don't feel like doing that, jump into our discord and have a chat to us and talk to us. Hell, yeah. Lunatics. I think we've said it before, me and Blake have both been in mental health situations where we felt like that was it recently. Yeah, exactly. And we've come around and we've realized that it's not it's not the be all, end all. We can pull ourselves out of it. But I mean, geez, we relied on each other to fucking literally really fucking help each other out. And it worked. It's literally good. Yeah. I was just like, I feel so shitty no more. Yeah. And it was the same with me, man. The start of this year, it was just like, oh, man. And then you're fucking like, hey man, let's go and have a chat. And then it just turned around from there, it 100% works. Talking to your friends or talking to anyone will absolutely turn your situation around. It's crazy. Yeah. Just letting it out. Everyone is struggling. Literally every single person is struggling. Everyone struggles are different, but everyone is struggling. That's it. I think you'll find if you do talk to someone, you'll find that a lot of people have a lot of like they can relate. A lot of people can relate. Even though it may not be exactly the same situation, they can relate because they're also struggling. I think people who are scared to say something because they think someone might understand, I think you'll find everyone will understand. Yes. That's it. There will be a very small minority of people who aren't struggling right now. Yeah, very small. Struggling with something. Yeah. The struggles, maybe they come in different forms, but they're all struggles. And we all have them. And if we all talk about them and we all talk to each other, it makes it easier to deal with that's it because you're not alone. You're literally not alone. That was one of the things I realized, and I think about it quite often now, is people just everyone has their own struggles that they're dealing with on a fucking day to day, week to week, month to month basis. It can be a little one, but that can be the biggest struggle in their life right now. And that's all they worry about. And they can stay up all night worrying about this one little thing to you may seem like nothing, but to them is everything, right? Yes. And all we all need to do is just talk to each other. Combo. We have a chat, we see if we can help. We see if it's actually as bad as we need to worry about it. And then you can get perspective on it. Sometimes it's not as you don't need to worry about it as much. And you learn not to you teach yourself not to worry about it as much by talking to your friends, by offloading all the stress and all the worry. It's good. Look, if your problem is, oh, man, I don't know how to spend all this money. I went on fucking rent. Sorry, we can help you. Yeah, we can help you spend all that money. But it's probably not that. If you are looking for a place just event, man, 100% jump into our discord, hit us. Up on messenger. Hit us up wherever. We have very open dialogue on our discord, actually. Yeah, like genuine open discord. Open discord. Oh, my God. I'm using the word but yeah, we just have open discord about our stresses and shit. Like, you know, there's like, genuinely everyone, I think everyone that we talk to, like, very regularly, I think it's put in some form of issue that they're like, hey, boys, I'm struggling with this. And then we're like, sucks to sucker. Yeah, we can pull the piss out of them and we still have a serious conversation. We don't, actually. Sometimes we do pull the piss. Of course it's warranted. But no, like, there's, you know, we we've all put up, like it's it's we're all comfortable enough to say something is what I'm trying to say. Which is that's what you want to get to with your mates. You want to get to a point where you can comfortably open up and be like, hey, man, I'm struggling with this. And we all are trying to help. That's literally all it is. Like, we're all just trying to help each other because we all want to win. We all want to see our hobbies when hell yeah, we want to win. Yes. That's it. At the end of the day, that's it. That's all we can hope to achieve. Hell yeah. All right, you know what? Did you hear that? Is it music? I think it's music. Song. I think we got to talk about music. OK. What do you want to talk about this week? Beyonce's new album? No, fuck it. Jesus.

Coffit. Just Coffee. Coffee is a really good song, man. It's a really good song. Have you listened to it yet? I think you tried showing me a little bit of it and then you played something else immediately after it. I didn't even get to like the main part of it. You were just like, because it does sound good at the start. And then you were like, oh, wait, no, no, this one. And then you played something else immediately. You're on van. Really good song. Really good song. No, we listen to Wolfgang over there. Phoenix by Phoenix, which is the fourth studio album by French indie pop band Phoenix. When was it released? It was released on the 25 May 2009. I was like, oh, shit. How old was I in 2000 and 915 or something? No, you would have been 16. Oh, no, you would have been 15. Because I was 17 as I left here. Oh, man. There you go. There you go. Yeah. Shit. Anyway, I found out that they have, like, a whole bunch of vinyl releases with 1000 songs on them, but they're all really weird, so they don't count.

Anyway, then I remember this album being very good, but then I think I realized I only, like, three songs off of the album. Yeah. So I didn't have any memories of this being good. I fucking hate this album. Lister Mania is good. One is good, and Lasso is good. And that's pretty much it. I feel like none of it's good, and I hated it. I have only bad things to say, but no going with your good things. Those three songs are really good. Oh, that's it? Okay, fair enough. If you want to listen to Phoenix, listen to those three songs and then don't listen to the rest because apparently that's what I did. And I remembered this album being lit. Okay, right? Yeah. This album gave me do you remember I Can't Sleep at Night literally dying in my head? Say listomania. No. Do you remember? Step brothers? The movie? Obviously. Everyone remember Step brothers. It's a classic. Wolf Ferrell john C. Reilly. Fucking mess around. Movie neighbor. Fuck you, Derek. Fuck you. Yeah, it sort of gave me that vibe. Do you remember right at the start when the title credits come up and it says Step Brothers is that you have to call me dragon, you have to call me nighthawk. And then that song, that style song, that was sort of what reminded me of this entire album. And I was like, okay, so this is like the sort of feel that it's going to be. Yeah,

it almost felt kind of like emo rock indie rocks or stuff. It's good in the fact that it does exactly what it says it does. Okay. It is indie rock at its heart, but it feels soulless. It feels so, like robotic? Generic. Yeah, like incredibly generic. No face. This is for a cocaine. And I actually listened to it critiquingly, and I was like, this is really boring. I said, it's for a Coke ad. This is for Pepsi. This is a Pepsi ad from fucking way too long ago. And it just doesn't sound good. As you said, boring. It was boring the whole way through. There was one song that just got me so fucking enraged when I was listening to it on the way to work because it was this entire long buildup. And I was like, oh, cool. This might be things like the third or fourth song. It's completely instrumental. And I was like, yeah. And I was like, oh, yeah, this is going to build up into something cool, or it's going to lead into the next song, which is going to be a fucking big hype up track. And it did neither of those things. No, it was just a big fucking blue ball song. It was just like they started jamming in a garage and recorded it and then split it in half and labeled it as two songs. Yup. And I was just upset the whole time. I was upset. If it's like a two song ten minute intro into a song that's really good, amazing, fucking that is peak musical genius. Like, I've listened to really long fucking instrumental listen to progressive music all the time. Like progressive metal, progressive house. I've listened to songs that for, like, 15 fucking minutes. I don't know if you've ever listened to the intro to the last track on Iowa by Slipknot. Tell me about it. It's called Iowa. The entire fucking build up to when they actually start, when the drums actually kick in. It takes fucking ages. And it's just a baseline. It's just sid the DJ fucking around on, like, scratching and shit like that. You've got Craig fucking around with random samples and shit like that. It is this entire long build up and then it fucking hits. And it's something that you can wait for because you know that there's goodies at the end and it even ends sort of the similar, but, like a lot shorter. Obviously. I've listened to Silence knowing that there's a fucking track coming at the end of it. On the first slip note album. If you listen to the last track, it's Silence after Scissors. It is Silence for fucking ages. And in about the 18 minutes mark I think it is, eore fucking comes on and you're like, oh, fuck you. I love this fucking song. It fucking just goes nuts. And it's like, that's great. But I had to wait fucking I would still wait fucking, like, 17 minutes for this song to come on because it's a great song. In Silence. I would rather listen to fucking Silence for longer than that track that fucking Phoenix put on. I'd listen to that twice before. I would listen to that fucking Phoenix build up trash into instrumental. Okay? Some of it some of it really cool, technically. Nice technical business. If it was in the background of something, like at a party or a dinner party or something, you'd be like, this is fun. This is fine music. Oh, my God. It's safe music. Yeah, it's safe music. It is safe music. You could fucking put this on anywhere and no one would judge her. Yeah. Unless you were at a fucking rave. No one's going to be like, hey, buddy. If you were somewhere that requires specific music, you'd be looked at like an idiot. But if you went somewhere that just requires some form of some bit of music to kill them, quiet and human music and pop around to something just good for everyone. Yeah. That's what this is. Generic boring. That's what it is. It's made for a million people to listen to at once. You know what? There's probably people out there that really love this music, too. There's probably people out there like, there's so many nuanced things in this, but there's not. I know a lot of the lyrics to the three songs that I like, I can hear Lasso in my head right now, right? I'm like I like it. Like it's all right. It's good. That's another grip I have. That's another gripe I have. You say you can hear the lyrics. I have no idea what this can't saying all of the time. All of the time. For clean lyrics. What does he say for clean lyrics? I can understand metal lyrics. Like dudes screaming at me. I can understand that better than this guy singing. Oh, they're French. Okay. All right. They get a bit of a pass. I don't think they really speak English very well, man. They don't fucking sing English very well either. They don't fucking do that very well at all. You know what? If you need a few songs to throw into a barbecue, playlist that anyone like, you've got grandma coming and the kids and a couple of the boys and their families. This is fine. Chuck it on. Fine chuck listo 19. Oh, whatever. And lasso and chuck it into your playlist and it'll be fun. Yeah. It's not going to offend anyone. Put it in with fucking Thunder Crashes by Live and fucking a few AC DC songs. Fucking mend out under. Like, the thing is, you're mixing in pub classics with I'm thinking barbecue with this trash. You need to filter the trash and to make the good songs good. Yeah. You got to garbage in there to make trash

go, oh, man, that's so mean. But that's what it is. You filter it in trash filter. I love that. The songs are really shine. Yeah, that's a really good look. Let's stop harshing on Phoenix for the time being. What do you rate it? What do you rate it's? Five. I don't hate it. I don't love it. It's five. It's right in the middle. It's good for what it's purposes, which is just to make everyone happy. And it's made me upset. I'm giving it a fucking three. It's upset me. It's made me fucking visibly upset.

Some of the drums were very nice. Some of the drums are pretty nice. That's pretty much all I can give. It like there were parts in the drums. Like the drummer was technically very proficient at his job. If you weren't listening to critique it and it was just on in the background at a park, I wouldn't have noticed. You wouldn't have even noticed it. It would have gone by and it would have been like you wouldn't have been like, I hate this. This is fucking shit out. It wouldn't have even crossed your mind to think about the music? No, it did not register. And I would have been like, what was going on for the last hour? What were we doing? What do I think of the music? What music? It was playing again. Trash film. When the James farmson came on. Yeah. When working class man came on. That was good. Yeah. I love fucking. Yeah. Love culture. Oh, midnight all came on. Yeah. That's a great bed to burn. Anyway, what are we listening to this week? I'm excited because I'm very excited. Yeah. I don't know what it's called. Okay. It's Intergalactic. That's it. By kid cut. Intergalactic. Intergalactic or intergalactic, is it such entrangalactic new releases. I'm not doing all that again. Yeah, look, it's one of them. It's the new Kid Cutty released on the 4 November this year. Intergalactic. Intergalactic. It's not intergalactic. Yeah, it's like enter. Okay, enter. First of all, your accent is still very much certain words are still a very kiwi. What do you dip your toast into in the mornings? Eggs.
