Hello and welcome to the prodcast.
A podcast where we talk, life, work, and occasionally music.
My name is SwitchBladesForKids and the other half of the podcast.
Hello, my name is Blake Bentley.
How are we doing?
How are we going?
I'm doing it, man.
I'm doing it.
It's, it went, freaking, doing it.
We're back.
We're back out of the game.
We're back.
We're, uh, another week.
I was, I was saying just before, uh, just before we had record, definitely not for the
second time.
Um, yeah, it's first time one hit kill.
Um, every time we, we, there's no edits, there's no, no, no, no, no second takes.
It's always first go.
It's so raw.
First go.
Um, I was just saying there's something like, it's a comfortable feeling being in the
space.
I don't know, man.
I just, it feels nice.
Got the elacidate warm and cuddled.
Are you talking about the space that we have created?
I probably have.
I'm not.
Are you talking about the space of like when we just get into a call and we're just talking
to each other?
Are you talking about your physical space?
No, like the podcast.
Oh, yeah, there we go.
You know what I mean?
Like it's very comforting being in the podcast zone, right?
Yeah.
I love it.
I love being here.
Yeah, that's good.
With you, the listener.
That's not exactly what I actually talked to.
No, it's only the listener.
Okay.
Yeah, that's right.
We only think about you.
Yeah.
But, um, hey, Ben, how's your week?
Hey, go on.
Uh, it's been a long week and considering that we are recording two days, like only because,
uh, I can't remember what happened on Sunday.
I was, uh, we were the long weekend.
That's right.
Yeah.
I think I'm, like, Sunday night.
Well, I, when, when a camera into Monday morning, I found out, uh, that I had Judy and
I had completed it.
And I thought it was to, to not choose that night.
That was, I was supposed to have it.
I literally got into work and I was like, cool.
I'm going to go and pretend to go be a, a driving instructor sort of thing because that,
I've have to wear that hat for the next three weeks.
Um, and then I was like, I'm getting something out of the brew fridge.
So I was just like, Oh, I want to count it out and do it.
I know it's fucking 830 in the morning.
Shit.
I fucking close the fridge and I'm like, Oh, there's the duty list.
I'll have a look and see what's going on for them.
I'm pretty sure I'm safe until tomorrow.
I look at it and literally says Monday.
And I'm like, I have nothing here.
I'm supposed to sleep in that shitty, itchy, little bed tonight.
And I was like, Oh, we'll fuck it.
Cool.
I'll just, um, you know, I told the, I told the fucking guy that's running the
course and I was just like, Hey, man, I'm, I'm, I'm on course.
Sorry, I'm on duty tonight and he's like, Oh, no, no, I'll get one of my guys to sort that
out.
And I'm like, Okay, sweet.
And it's like, Hey, man, just make sure, you know, don't, don't tap the workshop for
this, you know, it's been a thing, it's been a thing around the, uh, about the
round the regiment where the workshops is lazy and, you know, we don't do duties and
it's like, all we do is get tapped with fucking duties.
Yeah.
Anyway, it's, it's a little, uh, internal politics sort of shit.
Um, how fun.
I, I was literally driving, uh, to pick up someone like, cause I was still on duty and I was like,
look, I have to do my job.
I had a task.
I was like, I just got to go and do this.
I'm not going to fucking make, I'm not going to like stand and be like, I'll wait until
someone does it for me.
I was like, I'm just going to go and if I can pick this guy up, cause all you need to do
is come in and go to the docks and then I was going to drive him back home.
Yeah.
And, um, I'm like halfway through the drive to the guys.
I get a call from, uh, our boffin in the workshop.
His name is Boley.
And he fucking, he fucking, he calls it, I was like, Hey man, thanks for putting me on fucking
duty, you dog.
And I'm like, no.
I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm screaming in this car.
Like, no, fuck he lied.
He lied.
And he's like, yeah, man, I've got, I'm fucking, I caught your duty.
I was like, fuck, I'll, I'll pay you back, man.
I'll fucking, you know, I'll do some shit, man.
I told you, he told me he was fucking not in the workshop and he's like, it's, it's me,
man.
You fucked me.
And like, but like, it's all, it's all in jest.
It's all in jest.
Yeah.
And, um, I literally, you know, pick this dude up, dropped him off.
I came back to the workshop and I'm fucking, uh, it was put in like, a little group chat.
There was a video, like straightaway as soon as I picked up.
There was this video of like, Hey man, you fucked me.
You put me on duty and all your ears, ah, that was really funny.
Yeah, it turned out, um, what had happened was, uh, well, what, what happened after that
was, uh, I'll make it, Boley, he's like, Hey, hey, how about we do a deal?
Um, I'll do the day part so that you can do the course and then you just, you just stay
the night and I was like, Hey, that sounds great.
Yeah, sweet.
Excellent.
That helps me out of heaps.
Yeah.
And, um, he did nothing for the rest of the day and then I like, and, and it all comes
out good anyway because he did nothing for the rest of the day.
And then I, I jump on for the night stuff.
It's four o'clock.
I'm like, e, e, e, e, walk down to the duty room, sit there, play my phone and I'm talking
to the, the duty officer and I'm like, Hey, uh, look, there's a bit of a problem.
I forgot that I was supposed to be on duty today.
I need to go and get my shaving stuff and, you know, in it because otherwise I'm going
to be not clean shaving tomorrow and this is the army and, um, and he's like, Oh, that's,
fine, man, where do you live?
I'm like, Ipswitch.
And he's like, Oh, that's like, that's like an hour away and I'm like, Yeah, yeah.
And it is like, it's okay.
I'll just come back and he's like, No, you might as well just stay there the night.
So I just come back in the morning.
I'm like, Yeah.
That's so nice.
I forget.
And then, um, yeah, I went home.
The steps came back and I was just, it was, you know, early morning.
I got, I got in to work at six.
So I was like, leaving here at five.
Yeah.
But, you know, it was fine.
I just, and then I had to pick up the same fuck.
Anyway, um, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I love him.
I love him a bit.
He's the fucking one dude at the, like, obviously, everyone in the workshops are really
fucking good.
Yeah.
Boley is like a fucking, like he was born the year 2000 or 1999 or something like that.
So he's, he's only seven years younger than me.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Seven or eight years younger than me.
But my God.
He keeps up to date all the memes or fucking like relevant shit.
He knows like shit.
That's just like, oh, this happened just an hour ago sort of stuff.
You know what I mean?
And it's, it's like either a constant newsfeed or I'm in stitches laughing sort of shit.
I love he is.
And bro, where are we?
Will you crane now?
It's like, what?
It is just like, yeah, it turns out we were all okay.
It's like, wait, wait, wait.
Oh, hang on.
And then it's like, yeah, it's dumb shit like that.
And he was the one who had the idea to fucking like steal, sorry, acquire, acquire, strategically
was it transferred to alternate locations or something?
Yeah.
A ping pong table.
And now, after stealing, sorry, acquiring a ping pong table, moving to the workshops plus
like paddles that were also acquired and like ping pong balls and the net and chill like
that.
We now ever since for the last like month and a bit every lunch time is like, you know,
I don't know if I remember telling you this, I used to scream justice.
Like scream justice like to play fucking handball at six years.
It is now him.
It's like, it's like the things been fucking passed out.
Because he screams at the top of his fucking lungs, ping pong motherfuckers and like screams
it's so fucking loud like people up at the other workshop.
And yeah, and we scream and fucking go nuts playing ping pong in the workshop like in the
bass.
Sorry.
Yeah, it gets nuts.
And for a whole hour, we are screaming at each other like we're playing like Halo or Call of
it.
Yeah.
That's the end.
All right.
That's all I'm going to say.
Blake, how was your weekend?
How was your week?
Not just week.
I was aw.
Yeah.
Fuck.
That's actually what I was meant to talk to, to say, talk about whatever the fuck that words
mean.
Yeah.
I had sinusitis as well, I believe.
I think you said that you had it like recently, right?
I thought I did because I could smell the sinus.
I know what my sinus smells like.
It smells like fucking dead asshole.
That's gross.
That's, yeah, it's the worst smell.
And I know that it's sinusitis, but like it wasn't.
I think my sinus was just like, this is so gross to talk about.
But like it like can it drains sometimes?
Yeah.
Like my nose is all fucked up, but like, yeah, sometimes my, and my sinus all fucked up,
but like sometimes it drains and I get that fucking horrid smell and it's, yeah, you just
spit shit.
It's disgusting.
Yeah.
Well, I've been coughing shit up, right?
For like a week now.
And maybe a little.
Yeah.
And I, it's sinus pain and all that sort of shit.
Last Monday woke up four in the morning.
The worst pain I've ever had in my face, right in my face, just right here.
Yeah.
And I'm literally rolling in bed like, fuck.
Like, what is this?
What is this?
Yeah.
Like, and like all the, we're all in the bed too.
So I'm like in my tiny corner like, I can't do it.
I can't do it.
And then I stood up and the pain went away.
I was like, oh, yeah.
Oh, oh, so nice.
It's like, yeah, instant relief.
And then I went smashed haves of pain killers and stayed up.
Yeah.
Yeah, I just stayed up front the whole time.
Yeah.
I had pain killers.
I had my medicine.
Um,
I was listening.
Yeah.
And fucking it was lit.
I felt like great.
And because of the public holiday last Monday, right?
I just, I played Boulder's Gate to like 10 o'clock.
Yeah.
I just played Boulder's Gate for like a good six hours dude.
Let's see.
That's fucking so good.
It's fucking so good.
Yeah.
Yeah, throughout the week dude, just the worst sign is pain.
Like, coffin shit up.
Like shit coming out of my nose.
It was brown sometimes.
Yeah.
Yeah dude.
I was like, I'm dying.
It's disgusting.
I had a doctor's appointment today and I'm good.
Yeah.
I'm good now.
Yeah.
But my nose a couple times and like, it's just clear completely completely completely.
That's great.
It's all gone.
Like the pain is like sort of tender.
Yeah.
I told you.
But like, yeah, not bad.
But I dealt with that all week and I had like a week after COVID where I didn't work
it out, right?
So then there was the week I had COVID.
So I hadn't been to the gym for a month.
Not properly.
I, I, I, sorry.
There was like three days where I went to the gym in between like all of it, like somewhere
in there.
But really having gone to the gym for a month, right?
That's what I'm back today for the first.
Right?
In a month.
God, it feels good.
God.
Yeah, it is.
It's so cool.
Yeah.
Getting back to it after like a little rest, man, it's, it's something else.
It feels so nice.
Fucking right.
Imagine like having like a year off.
That is the first.
Right.
That sucks.
That's the third.
A month, right?
That is a good amount because I'm still active.
Like I'm still, you know, I'm running around and doing stuff and fucking, because it's
like a full recovery.
Sorry.
It's a full like body muscle recovery sort of thing.
Obviously, if you're still using your muscles and you're like stretching out and chill
like that, like you, you, you, you still actively using them, but you're not pushing them
under.
Yeah.
I put them under.
Yeah.
I put them under.
Like, you know, I actually play with the kids and like running the dog and we move from
walks and like just doing dumb shit.
Yeah.
Your body just would have been, your muscles just would have been fully recovered.
Yeah.
Which is great.
It feels great.
It does.
Like, when's the gym?
I did all standing shoulders because I forgot to tell.
So, but like, and Benny, man, it fucking blessed, Benny.
He was like, yeah, just take one, I got like a few spare tails.
He's like, just take one and I was like, look, I'll hold it, but I'm going to do everything
standing so I don't use it.
I've got a tail technically.
So put the tail in and then it'll make my fucking, put me, it's just so nice.
It's like I did like a few shoulder exercises, did some arms and it, I feel good.
I feel very good.
I didn't go too heavy with the weight, but I went, you know, it's like, I've, I've, I've hit
failure every time every set.
I've avoided it.
I hit failure every time every set.
Yeah, that's, that's the stuff, man.
Yeah.
Tom Platt says a man fucking, he loves that shit.
He's like, you have to achieve failure.
Yeah.
That's what you're actually doing.
Yeah.
You have to achieve failure, but keep going.
Yeah.
You have to go past failure.
Yeah.
It's not fun.
I tried to do that a few times and it hurts.
It hurts really bad and I don't like it.
Yeah.
But I do that with my triceps every time I do tricep pull down every time.
Yeah, I'm back.
I'm back.
I'm out dude.
Yeah, fucking hurts.
It's like, I dropped the weight and then it's like, and then just walk around like,
I'm like, dude, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, that's how I fucking went back to gym or, oh, I'm a birthday.
I was on Saturday.
So happy birthday.
Hey, everyone that's missed out, if you're listening right now and you're just like, oh,
man, it was blacksmith.
Like, birthday on Saturday.
Fuck, I feel like a bag of shit.
That's okay.
What you can do right now is just like, like, subscribe and share and comment and do all
the things, do all the things.
All the things for a podcast.
Yeah, do all the things for the podcast.
That, like, totally detracts from like, it's your bet.
You know, I don't really know.
I really don't care.
I don't really know.
I really don't care.
I don't really know.
I turned 29 and I just hung out with my kids all day and it was lit, so.
Yeah.
And I ate burgers.
I streamed.
I streamed cooking burgers on TikTok.
Oh, yeah.
You said you did two streams.
Yeah.
Occasionally.
How is it?
Yeah.
I mean, did you turn into an NPC for like any amount of time?
Yeah.
Broses.
Oh, runs is so good.
Where is the board?
What is the board?
What is it?
Galaxy.
Wow.
Where is the board?
Oh, where is the board?
Oh, that's good.
Fuck it, I hate that NPC shit.
It's sarsad.
I can't believe it's such a thing.
You know what's even worse?
People are doing that.
It's not going up or whatever the climbing, that climbing fucking game was that went like
viral.
Yeah.
But it's like a for no version of that because there's like a for no creator now.
So people have just recreated all these like fucking crazy climbing for night things.
Right.
Okay, right.
And people are doing that and they're doing like, you know, X roses restart, like, you
know, type shit, right?
But then I've said they don't even, they don't even like do anything.
It's like it could for all the intensifiers.
It could just be a video played of the dude running the whole way up with the caption saying,
you know, two roses and I'll restart.
Yeah.
And he just ignores them and do the amount of people who give two roses.
It's like, but I paid, but I paid.
Yeah, they asked it all.
I say, and there's like two and a half thousand people watching.
That's nuts.
Man, that's fucking it.
The NPCs and something 1500 to K viewers live.
They are making bank do.
Yeah.
There's this one that he's pop it up and she like, it's funny.
Like I checked out her other content.
She's not an idiot.
Like she was just like an average person and she's doing the NPC thing, but like she,
like, knows that she's a fucking idiot doing it, right?
And because I was just like, who is this?
And she was like laughing and just like, you know, like, and then had like, real it in
time thing.
And then she's like, give me a second.
I needed one of her and I was just like, what am I?
What?
I don't understand.
Yeah.
And then I just kept wanting.
Yeah.
And then she'll like pop up later on.
I was like, who is this person?
I was just like looking at her and I'm like, what is she doing now?
Like, what is the roses about?
I don't understand.
Yeah.
And that was like the first time I actually saw it.
I think I saw a video about it before I actually saw it.
Yeah.
Yeah, same, same.
It might have been a little bit.
Because now it's like, it's like, I'm glad I haven't seen a live stream NPC event so
far because it just seems like the most brain dead thing.
Like if you're watching it, like, I understand like, there's a morbid curiosity with like,
how like, it's not even depravity.
It's like, it's like a weird thing where like, you have no fucking brain.
And you are literally watching someone acting as an NPC.
Obviously, maybe there are people out there that are like, how long can this person go without
breaking this sort of thing?
You know what I mean?
And then they have to break character to go and do something in real life because that
happens.
Or like, this person just goes, fucking, there has to be people that,
obviously, the people are donating.
Oh, it's just so weird.
They're watching it.
They're watching it to get exactly that reaction of, I'm going to donate roses, galaxies,
you know, all the things that the fucking donatingables.
And then they have to react to it.
It's so fucking brain dead.
This is not a hot take.
This is not a new thing.
This is like, I think what I'm saying is, as been said, a million times over.
Like, it's so fucking brain dead.
Yeah.
It makes me, it pushes me so further to be like doing my home's dead shit man.
Yeah.
Pushes me so much more.
It's like, I like technology.
I really do.
I fucking love tech, right?
I love it.
Love it a bit.
But like, I want my technology and I want to be in middle of nowhere, not interacting with
anyone that I don't want to interact with.
Yeah.
That's one of you on my block, man.
I just want to hang out with my family, grow some vegetables and look after some animals
and like chop some trees and cut some firewood.
You could be the like, this is a thing.
If you've got like a normal job, if you have to wake up in the morning, go drive to a
job.
I think about this like every now and then.
I do the exact same thing, almost the exact same thing.
Like getting up, driving to work, do work or whatever, do work, then drive home, look up
to the kids, they go to bed and then do this sort of thing, go to sleep.
And it's like, it's like a, it's a routine, you know what I mean?
And I'm thinking, it doesn't matter where you are, what you're doing.
If you do repeatable tasks, you might be an NPC.
I'm not being an NPC.
And I thought about that.
I was like, oh my god.
I was like in the car while I was like listening.
I was listening to the same adventure zone podcast and I was like, I enjoyed listening
to it.
And I was like, am I just living in a loop?
Am I just an NPC?
And I just did an NPC living in a loop and it's like, everyone else around me, there's no
other, there's no man characters.
Everyone's an NPC.
Just the same time.
I've seen that car before and you're just like, all the cars are the same anyway.
They're not.
Yeah.
It does it.
All these.
The aim was faceless people.
I'm just like, I don't care.
This is a simulation anyway.
So it's such a weird thought.
If you've got like repeatable tasks, even I reckon even at the smallest degree because you
got to think these people are on TikTok.
They play an NPC for X amount of time.
Then they then they put down the phone and they go, man, I just made fucking 6K.
I want to go and do whatever I want.
You know what I mean?
And then I will get prepared for the next time I fucking do this.
So I need another outfit.
I need to go do makeup.
Whatever.
If you do any sort of repeatable task, you're an NPC.
Any repeatable task because your brain goes into it.
Every one unconscious.
Like, it's what is it called?
Unconscious, like able to do something like you do, you do, you do, you do, unconsciously
competent to do a certain task.
Like I know that it's, I can turn off my brain and change my kids and happy.
I can, you know what I mean?
Like that sort of stuff.
You go into bot mode and you're just like, oh, cool.
Just, and then happy on.
And then it's like, you've done it so many times.
You've done it so many times.
Maybe, I don't know.
Maybe it's thinking about it way too much.
Maybe there is no NPC.
Maybe you're just living there long.
Maybe you think of it as much as your brother.
I think I am.
Maybe you do too.
Blake, what did you do for your birthday, man?
Literally not.
I just hung out with the kids.
Like that was all day.
I made burgers.
I streamed on TikTok making burgers.
Yeah.
And then I streamed video games.
We played a bunch of random shit on kick as well.
Yeah.
On kick.
Which is, because I've heard that they will one day be paying creators an hourly wage and
like, look, I may as well.
I fucking may as well.
It doesn't actually take that much to qualify for affiliate either.
And then partner is almost the same as Twitch.
But like, it's a very new platform.
And it allows.
And if it doesn't work, it's going to YouTube or Twitch or whatever.
Yeah.
It's also good because they promote re-streaming.
So you can just re-stream to the fucking YouTube if you want.
You can re-stream to fucking anyone.
Yeah.
There are free apps for that shit, man.
Yeah.
It all works.
Yeah.
But yeah.
It's fucking, it's a thing.
I think kick might be like good.
Yeah.
Not a mean.
I think so too, actually.
I like, I'm a little bit of looking into it.
Like, the thing that this is what I think has happened, right?
I think that stake.com, because they've made so much money, right?
Yeah.
Like, you know, once Twitch was like, no, it's not allowed to have, you know, that stream
stake on Twitch, right?
You can, there's other fucking gambling platforms that you can, but not stake.
There was one of the like few that got banned, right?
Stake was like, well, we've made enough money and we know that we make a lot of money from
streaming.
So we'll just invest heavily into a streaming platform to actually make it viable.
And we'll just flash gambling on that.
Yeah.
Or this is because it's a game of room.
It has proved that it makes them so much money, right?
Yeah.
It has, it is like the main way that they advertise other than now, then fucking there,
because there's a sports team that they're fucking sponsored on.
I can't remember.
Might be racing or it might be like football or something like it's like big, you know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah.
There's like a few things that they sponsor at the moment.
That's like big sports, like big money sports.
Yeah.
So, ju ju ju ju ju company, like multi, multi, multi, if not billion dollar fucking business.
It's probably not billion dollar.
There's not many billion dollar business.
Well, I don't think you have that.
Yeah.
I still think about it.
Like, they're still going up against Twitch, which is Amazon.
Yeah.
That's true.
It's, it's Bayzo's Bucks, man.
Yeah.
That's very good.
Like, it's still, I don't know me.
Competition's good though.
But, but what was that fucking, what was that, what was that game that Amazon brought
out?
Yeah.
And it was not new world.
New world.
Yeah.
New world.
It was, it was basically shitty well.
Yeah.
But you had, it was, it was shitty well.
You didn't even have mounts.
Yeah.
And then they, and they had some really dumb reason for it.
It was just like all the animals on this island were injured.
Like, yeah, yeah.
It's, it's, it's, I don't know.
I think like, obviously Amazon has like a whole heap of branches and that have like
the heads of those, like, organizations sort of stuff.
Like, obviously there's a head of Twitch and chill out that.
And there'd be a head of whoever fucking made a new world to shit, right?
It's all funded by Amazon.
It doesn't, it doesn't matter.
It's all funded by big Jeff himself.
Yeah.
And the bugs.
The Bayzo's bugs.
And it's, it's a, I don't know, I think the, the thought is, well, if, if everyone else can
make a game, we can make a game.
And then people will buy it because we can put enough hype around it because we control
certain media outlets and we control a giant streaming platform plus we can also sell
all the merch on our own fucking shopping website.
Yeah.
Plus, you know, all of these fucking things sort of like Colin's side where you can hype
up a piece of shit.
You get to hype up a dirt shit game and, and then all you do is you just got to get the
initial investment.
Mm-hmm.
Because that's, that's it.
That's what it, that's what a game is.
You fucking buy the game.
And then you can play it until it's not refundable and then guess what?
It doesn't matter if you don't play it again.
Technically, in Australia, we're pretty good for that.
Like you can go past a watched steam says is being refundable.
Inish, yeah.
Yeah, because our consumer laws are like that good.
And steam's aware of this because I've a refunded games that were like, I played longer
than two hours.
Yeah.
It's just that you, you don't instantly get a refund.
All right.
So they got to go through the, like, yeah.
Yeah, because I remember one time was like, I bought a game.
I literally turned it on and then something happened.
I'd to go, like, sort of the kids and stuff.
And then it just like got to a point where I was like, I'm not coming back to the game.
I'm like walking out the door with the children, like, locking the house up type stuff and
the game was still playing.
I was like, I just didn't get back to it, right?
Came back and I was like, no, all right.
And then I started playing it and it was just like, didn't work or something.
Like, it was just buggy.
Just didn't fucking work.
And I was like, I'm just refunding it.
And it didn't automatically let me do it.
But I send them a message and I was like, I'm not like, it doesn't work.
And I want my money.
And they were like, all right, you're Australian.
That's cool.
Here's your money.
Because I can see all the great.
Yeah, they're really good.
If it doesn't do what it says on the box, then you get paid back.
What was that other game recently?
Oh, Saga Punk.
Saga.
Yeah.
Because of Saga puns and Australian.
You can like, I even think right now I could take even if I bought it when the game came
out and I went and returned it to date.
I think I can still get a refund.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
Yeah, I can get it.
It's not.
It's as long as I have a receipt, like I can just go, I think I could be wrong, but there
was like a clause action, right?
Yeah.
Australia against the developers for it.
Where every retail in Australia has to, well, there probably was a time, right, limit.
But like they had to, they had to accept refunds.
Didn't matter what the fucking state of the game was.
Yeah.
Because they had a receipt for it, it was like refund.
Man.
Crazy.
Man.
And then the rest of the world, like, we're robbed.
We're robbed.
And no one wants to do anything about it.
And only Australians are like, I didn't like it, so I took it back.
I had you return it.
Yeah, that's what I just thought about.
I just took it back and I said, I don't want it.
Yeah.
And they go, okay.
Yeah, and they're like, neither do we.
Yeah.
I think that was the same thing with Nerman Sky.
But the reason was, I'll say all this was because like, even New World was all buggy and shit.
Like it was, it was obviously new game.
Yeah, it's totally understandable, but even after all the patches and chill like that, it was still
shit.
Yeah.
And none of it was original and it was all.
- Look, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll,
originally I don't think it should be even like,
the can be original, but it's real hard, you know what I mean?
- Yeah.
- It's real hard to dir these days, I don't,
and I don't think you should base it.
- All right, all right, too much.
- Too much, too much.
- Fair enough, too much.
And you know, I actually fought on the other side of that
as well, because like originally is,
is a hard thing to sort of prove,
especially with music, right?
- Yeah, yeah because like, - That is awesome.
- Yeah, how many things, like,
how many times is, what was the name?
Olivia Rodriguez, she got, she got fucking hit by like,
I think it was like Taylor Swift or fucking,
- No, it was Paz.
- This is a business, no, no, yeah.
But even, even, Halley Williams said itself is like,
there's, there's so many,
like, there's only so many chords on a fucking piano,
like that you cannot,
originality is getting incredibly difficult.
- Yeah.
- Because there's only fucking so many notes on the,
on the keyboard.
- The longer we're around in the longer we record music,
the more, like, there's a,
there's a finite amount, surely.
- Yeah.
- There is a finite amount of times that chords
can be played in a specific way to be original.
- Yeah.
- 'Cause there's a finite amount of chords.
So there is a number, don't know what that number is.
- I can't believe it.
- It's probably very high.
- His name's Adam Neely.
He actually was talking about the Katie Perry.
- Do you remember Dark Horse?
- Oh yeah. - We ain't going but,
♪ Dand dand dand dand dand dand dand dand dand dand ♪
- Just that little melody there,
that was apparently enough to, like,
rile up this producer from, I don't know, fucking,
- Who knows who he is?
- Yeah, but his melody, instead of it going down
on that last note, it stayed the same.
It was like, ♪ Dand dand dand dand dand dand dand dand ♪
- Or, what a fucking, it's the same last two notes.
But it was enough to be like,
"Hey, Katie Perry, start my song,
"I want fucking millions of dollars."
And it actually started up two other guys,
who generated every possible combination
of eight notes, like, with all different notes.
So, like, if it was started on, like, every, every,
- Every, like, the finite, I mean, what is the number?
- And it was just eight notes and they were like,
it took, it obviously eight notes,
tons by a fucking, I don't know how many of us,
it's like, you only get eight notes,
and then there's 12 different fucking notes on a scale,
right? - Yeah.
- And they had to do, they had to do all of that.
I don't know how many fucking tons it was,
but they literally came into the fucking court,
and they were like, "Here's a USB with every fucking possible
"commonation of 12 notes for eight quarter notes,"
if that makes sense.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- And then we were saying, I don't know if that's it.
- Yeah, how many, yeah,
- Yeah, positive or default, this is fair.
- So now that on that USB, which is just, you know,
every combination, they said,
"It's all creative comments now."
- Oh!
- "It's all creative comments."
- It's not copyrighted, it is absolute free use.
- Wow!
- So you cannot claim in any course,
and you know what, you know, fact check me on this,
because if anyone out there's just like,
"You're an idiot, Zach, you fucking don't know, Lord."
I'm like, "This is just, I literally watched a video."
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Literally watched a video on this,
and then the guy, the guy, lawyer dude,
was saying fucking that, now that it's creative comments,
no one can get sued by anyone else
about their little loop that they made,
because there's only so much you can do,
and it's already been made creative comments.
- Yeah.
- So fuck off!
So now you can just straight up plagiarize someone else.
- Nice. - You know,
and just get it done.
- Get it done.
- Get done.
- But I think it's a little bit different
with Olivia Rodriguez.
- I don't know, it's original.
It is original, I would say.
It's transformative enough,
even though the entire structure is exact,
so it has mis-rebusiness,
and like chords, and like,
- I can hear this on my head right now,
- So, local pattern.
- Yeah.
- It's close.
- They are close, but it's a female singer
with a rock type band.
- Exactly, exactly.
- Like, that's the structure.
That's like, it's like, if that thing is--
- That was saying by a male,
I don't think the line would have been drawn so quickly.
You know what I mean?
- Yeah.
- I think if that was--
- Yeah, that's good for male singing that part.
I don't think the line would have been as quick,
because--
- Or if they were that famous.
- All right, 'cause Olivia Rodriguez
got fucking real famous off that shit too.
- Yeah, true, true.
See, that's the thing.
Like, if you're like,
oh man, like fucking Oliver Anthony,
is Anthony Oliver,
the guy who released that song that's like,
topping every fucking chart right now?
- He's bouncing on my booty.
(laughing)
- The way he ran.
- Yeah, yeah.
- No, the f*ckin'.
- Surely you know the song.
- Kissin' on my neck,
and his kissin' on my booty.
(laughing)
For, it's like, it's a constant song in the workshop.
- I love that shit, man.
- It's the new,
- It's the new round.
- Oliver Anthony, rich men north of Richmond,
that f*cking country one that I've called you.
- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, 13 days ago it was released.
It currently has 32 million views.
- Yeah, it's huge.
- It is topping every chart,
right, every single f*cking chart.
And I think I might have said to you,
I don't think this was on pod,
but he lives off the grid as well.
- Yeah.
- Like he's like a homesteader.
Like, maybe not quite full homesteader,
but he lives a very simple country life, right?
- Yep.
- And like, he's been offered, I think,
$8 million deals, $10 million deals, right?
And he's like, I'm good.
I don't wanna travel the world.
I don't wanna tour, I don't wanna sell stadiums,
'cause I just wanna make music and live on my farm.
I'm like, f*ck, that's my dream.
- When he try to give you all this money for,
I'm just gonna stay at home.
(laughing)
- That's what I woulda be like that.
That's my goal.
I wanna be like, you could not offer me enough money
because I don't need money.
Like, that's what I want.
I just want that life, man.
- Yeah.
- Oh my god.
- Just money sucks.
(laughing)
- Honestly, you know what's funny though?
I honestly believe post-moloned
could be on his way to that life.
- Oh man, yeah.
Like, he just chills it on his own.
- He's, obviously, is already famous in Chile like that.
And like, I don't know how big Anthony Olivera
was with like, f*cking music before he sort of just
- I was like, when all?
- And no, he was not big at all.
Like, I think he had like, maybe 13,000 listens type thing.
You know?
- There you go, yeah, right.
- But now it's like, it broke.
F*cking ridiculous.
That's wild.
- It's like another one, 3.2 million.
He released a video seven days ago.
It's just talking.
It's like 1.2 million dollars.
1.2 million views.
1.7 million.
- So wait, he just, he literally just uploaded something
to YouTube.
- He just uploads videos because he's like,
the just a chill dude.
- All of them, I didn't, no, I thought he released it
like on f*cking Spotify or something like that.
- No, it's just all on like YouTube.
It's where originally where it all was uploaded.
He uploaded a few to Spotify, but not everything.
It's mainly just, and it's all just like live video stuff
of him playing his songs.
- That's f*cking wild.
- Because he doesn't care about money, man.
- No, no, he doesn't.
- He's doing it because he just wants to make music.
- If that song didn't blow up, he would still be doing
exactly what was that.
- He's doing exactly what was that.
- His life wouldn't change.
- Yeah.
- Like literally, if he never blew up,
his life doesn't change to his life blowing up.
Like that song blowing up.
'Cause he didn't accept any money.
Like he's made money off of it, but he's like,
and look, he's probably, he'll probably spend some.
Like if I was in that position,
I'd spend some of the money I made.
If you get 32 million views on YouTube,
you're gonna make some money from it.
- Yeah, I don't know how much it'd be,
but you'd make some.
It'd be a good amount, I'm sure.
Like especially for someone who, like, barely needs it.
I can be, and again, fact check, right?
I'm not next to it.
But he said, like, he doesn't want,
money doesn't need the money.
He just wants to be like, left alone with his family type thing.
I'm like, bro, I get it.
(laughs)
I get it, man.
I wanna, I'm just gonna play the guitar
and make some music and just hang out
and just spend time with my family.
Like, meh, Harp is already on board.
'Cause we're like talking about bindable,
and then like, you know, building a grid thing,
and I was like, we can build you guys a fucking house.
Just why not?
Like, we're just be offered,
like just, even if it was just a small shed,
and we just fitted out to be like a self-contained granny flat.
- Yeah.
- Like who cares?
- It'll work.
- Yeah, it'll work.
And like, we're just doing ourselves
because ideally, I'd like to still make money,
but I'd just like to not need like, almost,
I want my bills to just be so very low.
- Yeah, I just want to be.
- And then it'll all work.
- You make enough money so you don't have to worry about money.
- Yeah.
- And like, it doesn't have to be, it just seems so much easy,
'cause you're gonna have a hard life no matter what.
Life is hard.
Life is not easy.
- That's right.
Life is unfair.
Life is shitty.
It's messy.
It's fucking all that sort of shit, right?
But it can be hard in whatever way you want to be.
I want to work at home to spend time in the home
that I work for, right?
- Yeah.
- I want to be home every day.
I want to build a cool house.
I want to build a tree house.
I want to fucking, like, look into aquaponics
and fucking bees.
I want to get bees, man.
- Oh, dude, an apiary?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, dude.
- Yeah, beekeeping is--
- Fucking hectic.
- Just doing cool shit.
- Yeah.
- And just building shit with your own two hands.
- Yep.
- And like, just, and it may sound hippie,
I said it's everyone, like, you can call me a hippie if you want.
Right?
But like, I just want my fucking homestead
and I want to be able to add to the homestead
and I want to be able to like,
I want people to move in if they want to move in.
Like, that'd be cool with shit.
Like, yeah, that would probably a way later thing.
- That, that.
- Probably not with young children,
but you know what I mean?
Like, I just want to have a cool place
that I can just live in and I don't need money.
That's it.
Is that so much to ask for?
- Yeah, apparently.
- Apparently.
(laughs)
- Yeah, apparently.
- Because blowing a block of land right now,
it's so expensive.
So expensive.
- Yeah.
- 'Cause I want a block of land that's big enough
and then I have to go so far away from town
and it's just, oh, I want spend half a million dollars.
- I'll just land.
- Yeah.
That's like most places.
Half a million dollars, 300K for a block of land.
With no house.
- Speaking of no house.
Actually, no, it doesn't, it doesn't not fucking correlate it all.
(laughs)
- I'm just trying to make that segue.
That's not a segue.
I was like, oh man, what is that music?
- I was trying to talk about music, but I wanted to,
you know how I said like right before we started?
- I really wanted, I thought you'd be so close to it
when you spoke about it.
- No, no.
- No.
- Because it directly affects the podcast.
What I'm about to tell you and what you may already know
and listeners nod your head if you agree.
AI generated artwork cannot receive copyrights.
Do you know what that means, Blake?
You can't copy right, AI art.
- You can't copy right, AI art?
- Yeah.
So anything that's generated by this, I like mid-journey,
which I think just literally uses dally and chat GPT
to make really good art sort of shit,
it can't be copyrighted because it doesn't have enough
of a human touch.
So, and that has been deemed by a court in the US
a thing was a couple of days ago.
- Okay, that is what?
- That's fucking you, yeah.
- Yeah.
So, what this means is, and I've been doing it since like episodes,
maybe, I can't remember whatever that fucking wizards
when we did that.
Yeah, ever since then, I've been using dally,
- Yeah.
- Yeah, I've been using AI art to do the covers.
- Yeah.
- And I was just like, yeah, I think there was literally
one in there that wasn't, and I could be wrong.
I think they all might be AI art.
So, this means that I now no longer,
like I probably will still cover up.
Like, I crop out the dally,
- Oh, yeah.
- The dally, I think, I crop it out because like,
it's just annoying to have that, I just want the full image.
- Yeah.
- And now it doesn't matter because you can't fucking
copyright it anyway, it doesn't matter if it comes
from fucking dally.
(laughing)
It doesn't matter, it's not copyright,
you can't just fucking, yeah, you can put your watermark there,
but I don't have to use it.
- Yeah.
(laughing)
- And it's been completely fine now,
retrospectively, completely fine the whole time.
So, it's a big thing for the podcast
because now I can just absolutely,
just un-camped from the mall.
- Unhinged.
(laughing)
- Unhinged.
(laughing)
- But, yeah, that's not really.
- In a nod release.
- I get to be unhinged now.
(laughing)
- Crazy, I'm off to have.
- I'm crazy, and I'm in a straight down.
- I'm in a straight down.
- I'm crazy.
(laughing)
- So, yeah, that's the big news for the podcast.
Which is, I think it's really cool.
I think it's a whole new wave of things
that will affect future media.
If AI art can't be generated,
and art is a very broad term, obviously.
So, that's what that means, like, AI generated music?
Or is that, is that like, AI generated,
fucking portraits?
Obviously, AI's been working on generating
just fake faces that look like people.
You've met before, but you've never met these people
because they don't exist.
They're just AI generated faces, right?
- I've seen, there's a website about that, though.
- Yeah, yeah, and, you know, obviously,
you can't copyright that sort of shit.
That's just a face, unless you want to use that face.
But even then, you can still use it.
It's free, it's free real estate.
- Yeah, it's free real estate, baby.
So, all AI art is free real estate.
You can just take it.
So, do you know what, actually, Jesus Christ,
that fucking gets me right off the belt.
Do you remember NFTs?
- Yeah.
- I think, and Jesus Christ,
listeners fact check me on this one.
I think a lot of them were AI generated,
and this sounds dumb,
because I don't think it was AI generated in the way
that they created the art.
It was AI using--
- No, they created the, like, parts.
And then they ran a--
- The raw generator.
- Took, like, the--
- And then it ran away in the way.
- They generated a mixed version of all of these,
with the special occasion of, like, them,
like, putting making special ones.
- Yeah.
- Yeah. Okay, right, so, yeah, that's not a deal with that.
- No, I don't think AI art was a thing back then.
It wasn't.
- That has been a thing for a while.
- Yeah, but AI art,
and it's so readily available,
it's not been a thing that long.
- No, no.
It's, I think it's been, like, one or two years.
- Yeah, I don't even think two years.
- Yeah.
And Chachi VT Falls, fucking, on his way,
Dalley 2's on his way.
- Yeah, where's Chachi VT?
- Where's Chachi VT?
- He is new.
That's like last six months, though.
- Yeah, yeah.
It started the year, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- I remember fucking, like,
hitting up my brother and, like, brother,
we need to, like, make something with this,
and he's like, I'm already using it at fucking uni.
Like, what the fuck are you talking about?
- Yeah.
- I remember blowing up,
'cause, like, all over YouTube was like,
this is how you're gonna use Chachi VT
to fucking make money.
Oh my.
(laughs)
- I don't know.
- Yeah, I don't know.
Look, it's all like,
like, you've got to implement it in a certain way,
with a certain thing,
and stuff, like, you don't just use Chachi VT
and nothing else.
- No, no, no, no, no.
- How does it fucking,
you can't buy and sell these in Chachi VT.
You need a human fucking touch and someone to call up.
Or you need someone to email.
- No, you need, there's lots of stuff you need to do,
but you need to, like, you can use Chachi VT
to do things that would take you a lot more time,
essentially, as long as.
Or, like, maybe you're not as knowledgeable about,
so you can, like, fucking,
oh man, one of the guys at work,
the, he looks after, like, all the Kitchens, I guess,
all of the facilities, right?
- The head Kitchie, man.
He's the kitchen quality partner, I think, as well.
- Oh, I get it, right.
- Termers.
But he uses Chachi VT because English is not his first language,
so he uses Chachi VT to, like,
to grab a check in everything,
and make sure that it actually all makes sense, right?
- Oh, right.
- Okay, yeah.
- Because sometimes the way that his,
like, original language works, like, words may be back to front
and stuff, like, you may naturally say, like,
instead of, I have this thing, it's like, this thing I have,
you know, and so then when he translates into English,
it just doesn't say I'm right.
So he uses Chachi VT to clean up his emails.
- That's great.
- Yeah.
- Oh, he's like, he's showing it, and I was like,
dude, that's lit!
- First of all, it's a, it's a double-edged sword.
- Oh, yeah.
- 'Cause, like, he doesn't know so.
- First of all, in English.
- No, well, here, he's not learning.
- Yeah.
- He's just, he's getting a robot to pick support.
- Yeah.
- You know, and then what?
- But fucking everyone's doing now, anyway.
- That's what, at Jesus Cross,
since the ever since the birth of technology,
haven't we been using it to fucking make our lives easier
and better?
- Yeah.
- And change.
- Oh, we've done tests.
- Oh, God, yeah, and shit, it liked to,
oh, oh!
- Calculators.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, yeah.
- It was just, I'm fucking, that, that, that,
- Yeah, that's true.
- Showing your work in your head.
Why, I'm going to always use a calculator
for the rest of my life.
- Yeah.
- No, that I can't do it wrong.
I can with a calculator.
- Yeah, that's right.
- Yeah.
- I will solve many of my equations.
- That's not plus two.
- Plus calculator can do it.
- That's right.
And that's why that kid said 21.
(laughing)
- Yeah.
- And now we have one of the best memes
because he uses a calculator every day.
- Yeah.
- Um, he ate it.
- Jesus.
- Super roast.
- He just ate it.
(laughing)
- Dude, what's up with him?
- He's a good boy.
- Oh, yeah, oh, bro, I guess.
- Like, (laughing)
- We can talk about what well is in two next.
So you can pick.
- Well, that has put me right on the spot.
(laughing)
- The, the, no, I won't say that, that's, that kinda spot.
Like this week, we listen to,
it's such a low, I'm not gonna do it.
We listen to King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizards
album called Petro Dragonic Apocalypse
or Dawn of Eternal Night,
and a annihilation of Planet Earth
and the beginning of Mercellus damnation.
- What in the day?
- That's, that's the fucking album name, man.
- Sorry ridiculous.
- Oh.
- So fairy, ridiculous, man.
- With such classic songs like Flame Thrower
and Gillamonster Dragon, Witchcraft,
Converge Supercell Modus Spirit.
- Yeah.
- Bro.
- Go, go on.
- Oh my god. - There you go.
'Cause I can't, I can't fucking put this album into words.
It's fucking, with a name like that, it's,
I love it, I love it, first of all.
- Nice.
- I, um, I, I, it hasn't,
so we spoke earlier in the week about it, right?
- Yeah.
- My thoughts have not really changed.
So if you would like to go ahead,
'cause you know mine's quite short.
- Mine's quite short.
- Honestly, so is, so is mine.
When, when, when, not gonna drag it out?
We're not gonna drag it out.
- Cool.
I think that would be the, the best thing we could do.
All, all we've done.
- Great. - This entire episode is great.
- Great point.
- Um, look, let me hit it with my,
and this, this is weird.
Okay, so I really fucking dig this album.
It's really cool like,
what sounds like 80s thrash metal, sort of stuff.
And, but it's like, even the vocals sound like,
like I wanna say, uh,
Lemmy from like, Motorhead.
- Oh yeah.
- Yeah.
- But like, but like maybe a little bit cleaner
and, uh, all I can say is,
I liked when it started,
and I didn't know where I was.
- No.
- Throughout the entire album.
- No.
- Because, like it's,
because they're really long songs and the songs,
they're not, it's not three songs, it's one nine minute song.
- Yeah. - And it's just,
it's so hard, it's so hard to know what you're listening to.
But it sounded good.
- Yeah, yeah, it all sounded good.
And like, yeah, though,
- And I think,
- I spent a lot of time with them.
- Look at the fuck you, man.
It's nine minutes,
it is, it is honestly three songs.
- Yeah. - One song.
- Yeah.
- And all they did was they didn't change the tempo.
- Yeah.
- And they're just like,
you know what, it sounded really cool here.
If we just went into it totally differently.
Because it's prog, it's prog metal.
- Yeah.
- Progressive metal and it's fucking,
it's hard and hard.
It's fucking really fucking good.
These guys are Australian.
I'm pretty sure these guys are Australian.
- Really?
That's quite true.
- Yeah.
And it could be wrong.
- You put it in fact check.
- Yeah, fact check me.
- I look, I really liked it.
Like it, they sound lit,
but I think for the most part that it was,
made more so for live shows, right?
Like, because imagine just banging out
a fucking nine minute song.
You know what I mean?
Just lit.
No, like nonstop fucking nine minute song, love it.
Live, that would be so sick dude.
- Yeah, it would, 100%.
'Cause we just feel like the fuck, it's just not ending.
You know what I mean?
(laughs)
And if you're into that shit,
you probably don't want to turn, right?
- Yeah, yeah, that's it.
Well, that's why you're there.
- Yeah.
- Because you're just like me and I want a fucking big,
big ass concert, fuck man.
- And like, no, it's, it's so.
- Yeah, I liked it.
I can't tell you what any of the songs sound like
other than it's like, yeah, like progressive metal.
- That's the real problem.
(laughs)
I can't figure out what it sounds like
because it's, it's, it's, it's too groggy.
- It's just so long.
(laughs)
- Like, how do I, how do you begin to tell someone
what a song sounds like?
It sounds like three different songs
at three different times.
I, (laughs)
I don't know.
(laughs)
- It's the, the gizzy, lizard.
- Kink, kink gizzy.
- Kink gizzy. - And the lizard was a lizard.
I can never remember it.
I love it.
- I just like gizzy.
- So they are Australian.
- They are Australian.
- They are.
- They are formed in 2011 in Melbourne.
Yeah.
That was pretty fucking sick.
- No, Australian, Australian band called Kink Gizzy,
and the lizard was, you know what,
they probably seen a frownic lizard,
no like, bro.
(laughs)
- Bro, get a lot of this.
- Get a lot of fucking lizard.
Yeah.
It's good.
I like it.
- I like it.
Yeah, I, yeah.
- I don't know.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I don't know because like,
I really enjoyed it.
I couldn't really tell where I was through it.
- Yeah.
- That's the hop-up.
- That I'm very conflicted.
One of the songs came up,
well, I was drawing around on Triple J,
with the fam.
- Oh, yeah.
- And listen to the entire seven and a half minutes of it.
And I was like, what did you reckon of that?
Like to ask him, and she's like,
that sounded really cool.
I don't know what it was.
And I was like,
there a band called Kink Gizzyd in Elizabeth,
and she's like,
excuse me.
(laughs)
- Oh, yeah, sorry, come again.
- Yeah.
The kids loved it.
The kids fucking, the kids loved metal.
They fucking like,
(laughs)
- Even Frayer, who's like,
fuck how old is she?
(laughs)
She's like one, but she's almost two actually.
But yeah, she like head bangs.
She loves head man.
- Yeah.
- But yeah, look,
you know, I'm gonna give it a straight,
I enjoyed the entire album.
I had a good time.
And listening to it on the way home from work
actually got me all ramped up.
Like I'm fucking loving it.
- Yeah, nice.
- I'm gonna give it a solid eight and a half.
- Yeah, I'm gonna give it a night.
I was gonna give it a night,
but I was just like, I just,
it's the thing that gets me is the part
where I'm like, I just have no idea where I am
in the album and,
yeah, like, you know,
I'm getting close to the end of the album
because it's been going for a long time.
(laughs)
You're like, almost 40 minutes?
- Yeah.
- I'm like, it all sounds good,
but I don't know what any of it is.
It's like, what's the song called?
- Yeah.
(laughs)
I don't know.
- Technically, technically,
really, these guys are really proficient in their instruments.
- Oh, like the drums?
- Or drums are like, I don't know, man.
He's crazy, plays a lot of time signatures,
little variations in tempo changes and stuff like that.
- Yeah.
- The guitars and bass and chill out that,
like, maybe they're making up the melodies and chill out that,
but like, that makes obviously makes a lot more sense
for like, to make up the melodies
and have a fucked up time signature
and say, hey, drummer boy, try and keep up.
(laughs)
Like, we're playing,
- Okay.
- Seven eight.
We're playing seven eight
and then we're going into 1115.
We're like, what?
For anyone out there that doesn't understand that.
I also just lied, 1115 is not a fucking time signature.
(laughs)
- But if it were,
- It would suck.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's, it's, um,
yeah, it's crazy math.
- At some point,
- Yeah.
- That drummer has to do in the,
and the whole band has to do it,
the whole band has to do it math to play,
- To play, to play,
- To play, to play, to the songs that go for nine minutes.
(laughs)
- And it only do it when you're counting in their head.
- It did remind me of a little bit of like,
Dylan Drew's "Skate Plan."
- Yeah.
- 'Cause like, that's just straight up math core
and it's, it's fucking nuts.
And I still love Dylan Drew's "Skate Plan."
Like, I'll listen to old songs from Dylan Drew's "Skate Plan."
I'm just like, oh man,
I remember when I tried to play this on drums
and just could not because I can't count that high.
(laughs)
- That's like the, like the,
the number 12 looks like you.
- Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna be showing you the,
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Yeah, that's so good.
Sorry, and it's weird as hell.
- Same with um,
- It's just, it's just,
- Jay walking backwards.
Jay walking backwards just to fucking get me.
I love that song.
- Yeah.
- Um, shit, like,
what are we listening to?
- Yeah.
- Like, well,
let me just say, it was at the top of the list
on what we were looking at the last time
we were looking at songs.
- Oh.
- So,
- Is it going to be? - Is it going to be?
- Holy shit.
You're right.
No.
(laughs)
What we're gonna listen to because it was the,
the singular last thing,
because we didn't play in this at all,
and you've said, pick something.
It's gonna be "Hunted House" by "Gasley."
- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- I think I showed you like two songs,
and you were just like, "Oh."
- Yeah.
- And, yeah, so it's, yeah.
- Yeah, fucking genius.
- Yeah, so this guy makes a lot of, like,
rhythm house.
- Yeah.
- It does a "Lewiter Hip Hop",
and there is, there is like a food creatures on here.
- Yeah, his hip hop stuff is fucking sick.
Tara reads, so good man.
- No, so you're thinking of "Getter."
- Oh, getter.
- Oh.
- Yeah.
- You know what?
- We can do "Getter."
(laughs)
- Actually, yeah, I wanna do "Getter."
- All right, we're doing "Getter."
- We wanna do "Tarrah Red." (laughs)
- No, we're doing "Getter." - "Getter."
All right, "Getter."
- All right. - We're doing "Getter."
- All right, fine. We're "Getter."
- Behind the scenes, we're pulled back to "Cut"
and, yeah, it's like, what...
At least guys do it every week.
Like, we barely get through it, man.
(laughs)
- Yeah, we're "Getter."
- Oh my God. - How could...
How do I, how do I, there he is, "Getter."
- You know, we should tell me
that this is a favorite album from "Getter."
- Oh, that fucking, the one with "Reson,"
"Napalm."
"The Napalm EP."
It's only six songs.
It's 15 minutes.
(laughs)
- Is that the only one I'm gonna be thinking?
I'm happy, dude.
(laughs)
- I know, I'm like an avi too.
- It's, it's, um, it's so good.
- Okay.
- I love this album.
- 14 minutes of "Shurdy One Seconds."
- Yeah, yeah. - Yeah.
- "Napalm."
- All right, I'm, yeah. - "Napalm."
- "Napalm." - Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Oh, wait!
No, I'm totally fucking forgetting that
Visceral was a fucking huge album
that had like, "Joji" and shit on it.
It has so many fucking bangers on it.
- What are we doing?
What are we doing?
We doing Visceral?
- We're flailing at the moment.
We're like fucking spinning out of control.
- What are we doing?
- Visceral?
- No.
We're gonna do what I said first.
I can't remember the name of this.
"Napalm."
- Let's do it.
- Hang on, I'll ask this question.
What do you think is the best thing
album, EP, whatever to listen to,
to introduce us to what "Getter" is?
- Oh, "Napalm" for sure.
- Okay. - There you go.
- What's the end point? - "Napalm" for sure.
- I'm only saying that because that's what I started listening to
and I was just like, "Oh my God, I fucking love this shit."
And then I'd listen to more stuff and I was like, "Ahhh!"
But I didn't say that.
I did listen to it a little bit of Visceral
when it came out.
- That's fine. - And that was--
- That's fine.
- Because we could also listen to a bit of Visceral
because this is only 15 minutes.
So I'm gonna dabble on Visceral as well.
All right? - Yeah.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- And then I'll listen to some ones in there
and I'll give Visceral a bit of a special mention,
you know what I mean?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- Yeah, that's a good point.
Yeah, so we'll do "Napalm" with a Visceral mention.
- Special mention to Visceral because that was the next thing
that you sort of listened to after "Napalm"
in "Napalm" is very short.
So, like, let, there we go.
- Yeah.
- All right, damn.
I think we should just start wrapping this shit up.
- It's, listen, it's come to the,
oh my God, it's come to our favorite time.
We are gonna wrap it up, but guess what?
We have to do first. - Yeah.
- We have to listen to, no, not have to.
We get the opportunity to listen to the honor
and the privilege to listen to your voice mails
that you send into us.
And you just know that we love fucking listening to them.
We did have a failure in all the area last time.
- Yeah, we absolutely.
- And you know what?
I think I might have figured it out.
I think sometimes if you're changing windows,
the audio doesn't sort itself out.
So if this doesn't work, you should just close
the stream reopen the stream.
- Okay, yeah, cool.
All right, that's what we'll see if this works.
We'll see if this works.
All right, so we're gonna start off with the first voice mailed.
We're hitting it right now.
Actually, just before we do the first voice mailed.
If you wanna send in a voice mailed,
the number is plus 61, 7, 564, 1, 1080.
That number again is plus 61, 7, 564, 1, 1080.
It's just send us a message, send us a meme,
send us a suggestion for the album of the week.
Or if you just wanna ask us a random question,
if you've got something on your mind,
just leave us a voice mailed, it's very easy.
You call this number, it calls for literally one second,
so you don't have to have that initial panic attack of,
oh my god, it's ringing, they're gonna pick up,
and they're gonna have to talk.
No, it goes straight to voice mailed.
So you can leave your funny, funny stuff.
(laughing)
Because we always assume it's funny,
and it's sometimes it is.
Sometimes it's, sometimes it's,
(laughing)
- Only sometimes.
- With that further ado, let's listen to the first message.
Blake, you ready?
- I'm ready.
- Let's go.
- Yeah, good day boys, just a little bit.
- Just for, I'm gonna hit you gal.
And keep up the good work.
- Killin' me man.
- I gotta do it.
- All right, this is what we did.
- I think this is what fixed it last time, right?
So if you close the stream,
it's back up in the stream,
and then if you hit it again.
- Yeah, good day boys.
- I can do it man.
- Just, all right, excellent, there we go.
- There you go, okay, you gal.
And keep up the good work boys.
- Very kind.
Blake, you know who that is.
- I do.
- Excellent.
- Good friend of the show.
- Thank you friend.
- Thank you, good friend of the show.
We will not dot you.
- I'll, yeah.
- At the end of the show, when we reveal everyone.
(laughing)
- If you haven't noticed,
and no one really watches 'Til the very end,
but you can actually freeze frame on the last frame,
and it has,
- Yeah. - Everyone's addressed,
and phone number.
- Yeah, we have everyone's details,
and it's a frame.
(laughing)
- I believe this was last.
- That you listened to that I never got to listen to.
- Yeah, yeah, so let's, let's do a shit.
- Hey yo, what's going on boys?
It's been a while.
Okay.
Do you have like Creed?
- Yeah, we love Creed.
- But, you know what's bad thing, Creed?
My sick news reporter voice,
you're like, "Cheers out."
(laughing)
- This just in, boom, boom, boom.
- Shake, shake, shake.
- The room, I love it.
- I love it.
- I've been practicing that one a little bit.
Oh yeah.
I think I should be a news reporter, you know.
- Yeah, I got one of those jokes.
- Why does he sound like he's taking a shit?
- It's like he drunk, man.
Oh, next one.
- Push more, big more.
- Really game, really game.
- Creeping the audio.
I'm up in all the stores.
What are they doing?
- What's going on?
- I'm out.
- Hello, one.
(laughing)
- That's all.
- Yeah, that's pretty going too.
- What?
- It was, what?
- What?
- Hey, it was, you know, I'm sick of playing games.
- All right.
- So here's the thing.
I've heard a lot about the Creed album the week
and I'm not seeing a lot of action.
(laughing)
But take this as you will.
It's intended to be a threat.
(laughing)
I've got something in my possession.
- Oh.
- That is yours.
- Yeah, I know it.
- And I think you know what it is.
- I think you brought something quite valuable
to yourself.
- You don't have to.
- And I've got another one.
- Also, I'd like to remind you
that come jars are a thing.
(laughing)
So take that as you will.
- Fuck it, hell.
- Now, to give me a Creed album of the week.
- Fuck.
- I don't think.
- Play.
(laughing)
- Oh my God, man.
- Oh, it's life.
- That man is fucking crazy.
- He's literally.
- I, I, I, I, I,
- It's the same.
- I eagerly await, like, listening to the messages though.
- No.
- Obviously, it's our fault.
We are a week late.
These messages were supposed to be for the last week
when we reviewed Creed.
- Yeah.
- What?
- I've got, I know I left my fucking water bottle
in your car like months ago.
I guess what?
I recovered and I got, I got two new ones.
The exact same.
So fucking turn that thing into a gumshop.
- All of you are.
- That's the sucker.
- I want, I want to see the efforts put into make that.
It's a liter and a half.
- A liter and a, that's a, that's a, that's a lot.
Don't water it down.
Here's the, here's the last one.
This is from a, oh, I can't remember this one.
Let's, let's, let's have a listen.
- Let's have a listen.
- Yeah.
It is the me three-foot tranquil.
And I have a question for vodka.
- Do you much vodka would you drink in one go?
- But that's it?
- Okay.
- I would drink zero.
I fucking hate vodka.
I don't drink alcohol anymore.
(laughs)
- I hate, like, and this is the,
- Yeah, I've been drinking this, this year.
And I plan on keeping it at full standard drinks this year.
- That's, that's fucking good.
- Mm.
- I'm a, I'm a little far, sorry.
- I'm a little far, I've had far,
- I'm a little far, sorry.
- I've had far, far standard drinks.
- That's pretty good.
- Look, I've drank like a bottle of smell
off before and in a,
- God, I wouldn't do it again, but I've done it.
(laughs)
- Yeah.
- Nah, man.
- Like, yeah.
- I don't know when it started,
but I cannot, I cannot even smell vodka.
Like, like, not, like, can't smell it.
Like, if I sniff it, I,
- Yeah, I gagged, I'm done.
- Yeah.
- Like, I just will not have it.
Kim, Kim opened up, like, we had a fucking,
- That's what it was.
- No, not the blue ones.
Yeah, she had like, she has a bottle of vodka.
And, and it like, it comes out so fucking rarely,
'cause she loves drinking wine.
But like, it's like, oh, we've got some cordial,
we've got some more, you know, lemonade, whatever.
And she was like, oh, cool.
And as soon as I smell that vodka, I'm just like,
(laughs)
- What are you doing?
What is this shit?
- And, yeah, it does, so you know what?
Listener, voice mailer.
- It's level as possible.
- Russian man, I'm putting it in zero, yeah, fuck it.
- It's level as possible, please.
- I cannot have it, I won't have it.
- I'm not gonna.
- You know, I'm like, other than that,
I think that's it.
- I think we're good.
- Thank you so much for entering
voicemails, everyone else listening.
Thank you so much for entering voicemails.
If you haven't, just do it.
- Do it.
- You may be the next star of the podcast.
- Yeah, you may be.
- You may be the next lunatic that we have.
- The next audience.
- Maybe I can.
- City does like three back-to-back voice messages.
- Yeah.
- Just crazy.
- This is completely different.
Shrandova shit, all links back to creed.
- Boom, boom, boom.
- Shake, shake, shake the room.
(laughing)
- I love his report, he used to do it for you like every now
and then like he would just be getting in orders
and he would just be like,
good day guys today.
(laughing)
He would just like do orders and show that.
- Please continue, please.
- Yeah.
- Don't stop, don't stop now.
- Coming up after the weather.
(laughing)
- Um, (humming)
(laughing)
- Um, yeah, so yeah.
Make sure you, if you're, you know, you've got a phone.
- Everyone has a phone.
Leave a voice, Mal.
We've given that, we've given that number before,
so just, you know, scroll back, find it yourself.
We're gonna wrap it up.
Guys, thank you so much for listening.
Your, your, your viewership and listenership is highly
appreciated.
We'd love you so much.
And without you guys, we just would keep doing this,
but with no one listening.
- Yep.
- Which would just be, it'd be horrible.
But I will, I will tell you this.
I will let you in on the behind the scenes,
the back door secrets.
I'll show you my, no I won't.
We, we are steadily growing.
- Yeah.
- But we, we are actually about two,
and I mean like, imminently, about to overtake our downloads
from all of last year as of our current date.
And if that doesn't make sense to us what I said,
I'm saying, last year, we did like 1100-ish
and a little bit over downloads,
and now we are about to overtake it,
and it's only the eighth month.
We are, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're,
we're, we're growing up.
And it's great.
It's, it's so good to see, yeah, analytics
that just constantly climb me up.
It's so cool.
Oh, no, it's, it's because of you guys.
- Yeah, you also.
- We had, last week's episode was the first episode
we had with over 100, like downloads.
- On YouTube, yeah.
- In 24 hours.
Like on all our platforms together.
- Oh, yeah, yeah, that makes sense.
- Yeah, we have a hundred drive.
We haven't had over a hundred in one 24 hour period before.
- No, you know, it never happened.
- Yeah.
- So combined with everything.
- Yeah, over a hundred, cause it wasn't,
I don't think it was over a hundred in the first 24 hours
just on YouTube.
I think everything combined was over a hundred.
Now it's over a hundred, right?
- Yeah.
- Which, it sounds like not that many,
but for a podcast that went for like an errand
10 minutes.
- Also for, for such a young podcast too.
- Yeah.
- It's so cool.
- And I mean, like that's lit.
Like I don't know what that means,
but we got a hundred views and that's cool.
That's the, that's a single podcast episode anyway.
Has it gotten, that's lit.
I like that.
- Yeah, it's really cool.
- And, yeah.
- It's fucking cool.
We, we, we love yous and thank you guys so much for helping us out.
And you don't, you don't know the work for us.
It's great.
And, in saying that, we need you to do some more work.
- Yeah.
- Get back to it.
- Yeah.
- So we need you,
we need you guys to like, subscribe, follow,
do the ratings, comments, commenting and, you know,
we'll read comments.
Actually, we need to like really look into like,
finding comments if we have any comments.
- Excuse me.
- There's been like a couple comments from time to time on,
on YouTube, which I respond to.
- Oh, cool.
- And then there you go.
- You got a direct link on the podcast.
- Oh, there you go.
Excellent.
If you have, yeah, in saying that,
if you have longer messages,
hit us up on the Facebook,
hit us up on the DMs in Instagram or TikTok.
YouTube guys have that feature, doesn't have DMs.
But that's cool.
You can also send us emails.
We do, we do have an email and we don't check it.
- No.
- Not at all.
- Haven't checked it.
- It's just like Twitter, man.
We said it off and it's like,
"Wow, it's running in the background now."
- Yeah.
- I've got to get to the background now.
- No.
- Oh, yeah.
- It's Fending Tom on that shit.
- If you wanna see more,
if you wanna see more,
like, Blake Bentley, checking me out.
He's everywhere, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram,
and Facebook.
- He's man, dude.
- Makes you check him out
because he's doing his weight loss journey
and he's also doing his mad gardening routine.
- Yeah, I'm just doing stuff, man.
- Yeah, doing cool shit.
- And stuff.
- Radishes, carrots.
The vegetables are growing.
- I've put some radishes.
- I've put a video.
- No, no, no, no, no.
- I put a video of me eating my first radish.
- And it tastes like radish.
- Oh my god.
- Who would I think it?
- It got a lot of attention.
- Yeah, right.
And then last night, I picked another two
and I sliced them up and I put them in a wrap.
- Oh, so one star and I eat my own produce.
And I like it.
- I'm gonna come around.
- I'm gonna come around and just join some radishes.
- Yeah, that's awesome.
- Man, the ones that are in the big,
then just if they're taking forever.
- Yeah, they're taking forever.
- They might need more sun.
- I think they need more sun.
- Okay.
(laughing)
- I'll come around on a weekend as well with that
and I'll help you move it around.
- Ooh, we might be able to do that
'cause it's gonna bottom.
That's the problem.
- Okay, we'll figure that out.
- We'll figure that out.
- Because I just laid on grass.
I'm hoping that maybe it's still clumped together enough
to just be able to slide it over.
'Cause it literally just needs to turn or twist it
and just literally slide back.
- Yeah.
- Hopefully not lose too much dirt in that process.
- We'll just pick it up and put it back in.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, I should be right.
Other than all of that,
if you wanna hear more of that sort of cool shit
because it is really fascinating.
Check 'em out, Blake, underscore Bentley TV,
check 'em out everywhere, and especially on kick.com
because your boy's gonna be streaming,
he's gonna be making their big bucks,
but it's not about the big bucks.
It's all about playing games, his mates,
and then you keep it in the relationship.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Keep it all in video, like it's history.
That's what it is.
- Yeah, yeah.
- It's a friend history in video format
playing games and doing dumb shit.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, I guess that is all the platforms for you now.
That is all that.
YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, and kick.
It's big.
If you wanna see more of my face,
which blade spikits, thank you.
- Oh, I love it.
- You can hit me up on the exact same platforms.
You can hit me up on YouTube, not TikTok.
I do, I do, funnily enough, I do have two TikTok accounts,
but one of them has one video on all three or four videos on it.
Nothing's happening with that.
And the other one has nothing on it.
But it's also said, switch blades for kids.
And then the next one says, switch blades for kids, one.
(laughing)
Because I couldn't figure out the password for those.
That's what.
But you can also follow me on Spotify as well.
- Oh, Simon, do you, that's rough, good about you?
Yeah, Spotify for both of us.
- We're both on Spotify.
So make sure you check us out.
It is switch blades for kids all onward
and Blake on the score Bentley TV.
What happens next is you do all of that and you're like,
man, I just can't get enough of these guys.
I really wanna just talk to them.
You jump on the discord, the discord is in a link,
the description, and you can just jump in play games.
If you enjoy playing Tarkov,
maybe you play it and enjoy playing Bounders Gate 3.
Maybe you enjoy playing fucking, I don't know, row blocks.
- Maybe you enjoy playing with your shelf.
- Yeah.
And you can do that.
We have a lot of open voice chats where you can just sit there
and you just be like, I don't wanna be bothered, please.
(laughing)
- If the hell you could do that.
- The hell of a brain is not enough.
Coming to the discord and listen to us read more.
We do more really.
- Oh my God, we can ran for about three, four hours sometimes.
And it's always good.
We have a lot of really cool, fun, interesting people
that just wanna chat, hang out and play games.
- Yeah.
- And if they're not playing games, sometimes Andy's doing
like 3D art.
- Yeah, he does.
- And Jason.
- Jason Chris will be making music and chill out that.
- Yeah.
- It's all over the shop.
There's a lot of things happening.
Jump on into the discord.
It's a madhouse.
(laughing)
- It's so good.
- It's like, you know, well, mad nights that I spend at home,
I would rather than go around.
- Oh my God, that was so dumb.
Yeah, yeah.
- Oh no, that's it.
That's the end of the show.
If you've made it to this point,
my God, give yourself a pat on the back.
(laughing)
- That's what you get.
- It has been a long one.
And what do we always say at the end of the show?
- Yes.
- Thank you guys so much for listening.
We will see you next Thursday.
- Yes.
- You know what, I'm gonna make you do the outro.
- That's fine.
- I keep trying to think of something dumb to say at the end of it.
I can't, but then I guess to it, there's nothing there.
(gentle music)
