Hello and welcome to the prodcast! A podcast where we talk life work in occasionally music my name is SwitchBladesForKids in the other half of the podcast...
Hello, it's me. It's Blake. It's mr. It's big beetle. How are we doing?
How are we going? We're gonna speedrun this
Hit a dab on start ... and
Oh
Remember dabbing yeah, I did not tell you like reason
Like I just did do it on ironically and now I know it's now I
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you do ironically now because
We used to like just chuck shirt into the bed and I'd be like
Yes, I do
I miss on purpose sort of shit like a throw miss on purpose and like
Check it and it's like and it's not just like standing like boom
It's like you get the knees in dude. You're like the full angle, you know, it's like hang on for all all you video
You got to get right down in
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey don'tsak. Hey gone
I mode the lawn this morning time full of beans. No, so I mode the I actually whip a snip yesterday Jackie mode
We we got like the whole oh most of the yard done most of the yard done
I think cut some some fucking I trimmed some trees yesterday. Oh
Yes, dude
Do I tell you that I got those I got like a fucking hedge she is
Dude, I think I told you about the last part of over the pop-up for but like
It's it's so good. Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, nice. Oh, we've got a ladder so that I can get even higher and like
We're slowly accumulating all of the things that your grandparents had that like you just like why the fuck do they have that?
I was like why do you have a ladder? It's like oh, yeah
It's just you know what like this is the thing because we as younger we're like don't you just need a room with a bed in a TV
Isn't that all you need in life? Yeah, and then you get to a point where you're like no
You need a lawnmower and a whip a sniper and a ride on and a tractor and a slasher and a and then you need a little
It's so many other things and now it's like I don't need to grab a chair from the kitchen that no
I can just accidentally put my foot through which I've done before yeah
Oh absolutely well all I'm doing is trying to change a light in the ceiling. Yeah, it's oh now
This fucking ladder that's like rated for 100. Yeah, just a platform. I'm not a platform. Oh my god. Yeah
I looked at those. I was like well the ladder I got was like a hundred bucks
It was a hundred fifty kilo doll of 150 kilo ladder. Yeah, yeah, I'm not two steps
Yeah, but it puts me up a whole extra almost meter which is nice
But like yeah, the platform dude. I was really close to buying that platform. Yeah nice. Oh yeah
I think you were saying that when we were there. Yeah, you were like looking at it for yourself
You're like I can do you know what's even better though that platform it fits my little barbecue on it
So it's not only not only is it a platform for me to stand on it's adjustable height
I can reach my roof because my roof is three meters
Yeah, you know, I actually can't touch my ceiling which is sick just just quietly anyone who lives in a normal
Two-point-four meter house and if you're tall like me you can touch the ceiling it sucks
Yeah, feels claustrophobic. Yeah, I got some headroom right now
Like you know what I mean?
It might be if you can't touch like that
No, you know, no, no two point genuinely two point four. I can like palm flat
Oh, yeah, that's like that's that's you know what I mean like cuz I'm like one almost one point nine. Yeah
From our man there to point four yeah, about that. Oh, anyway, dude. That's huge. Yeah
Yeah, that's very tall 40 40 for vertical leap
Subout rage and you know what though easy line cuz the dude was the dude is literally almost seven foot is huge man
He's actually huge. He's like he's like what is he six eight or something?
Six nine yeah, I think he's actually six foot nine
Yeah, that's yeah, it's too much. This dude is
Hey, you being anyway has your wake
Hey, it's been I'm not
I'm not drawing a picture of her hanging out
Maverick's maverick's here just chilling out as well. Oh, hey, mav
You want to say hello?
No, no fucking mind. We've been pretty good
Just a lot of like getting back into work actually started doing actually working. Yeah
Way more way more and and the thing is is like when I came back from like someone
I only had like maybe two or three weeks
I got I got like a little bit done in that time, but it's been a long time since I've done
Actually, we'll work it. I was like how the hell do I do everything that I've been trained to do?
Yeah, yeah, I had yeah, I had that after two weeks like I had two weeks off. I came back and I was like how do I do my job?
What do I even do here? I was like I just sat at my desk for like a good 1015 just you know, just that they're like yeah
Should I turn my computer on?
I'm gonna make a coffee. I don't know what point is it like?
I'm totally fine with like just just forgetting everything or do I go out of my way to
ask someone's like hey
How do I do much of again? Give me the point is I need direction once more. Do you have anything that you need me to do?
Just let it ride do just let it ride just be like oh, why absolutely literally
I'll figure it out. No, I mean look I've been at work for like a month now and I tell you what I still don't know what I'm doing
Yeah, that's totally fine. Yeah, things are happening though things are happening but
um
The the thing is the other way do these during the day the kids are like I've got I've got one kid that
Thinks screaming is the funniest thing in the world like and we'll just hit the highest register
And that's that's fray fray has the highest register no like she did it yesterday at Costco
We went to Costco and I was I love going to Costco because of the food. Yeah
And I think we've talked about it so many times and like this
For American listeners they're like that man these these goddamn Australians they go to Costco and all like it is a hard dog and a pizza like
Yeah, you don't understand it's spending spending what what is it fucking it's like it's like
It's like slice and two dollars for a hot dog and it's like five bucks for a hot dog a drink and a shoot the slice of the pizza
It's like a small pizza from Domino's yes, yes, like it literally is a small pizza from Domino's is like and it's good though
This is the difference is the pizza from Costco's good hot dog is a hot dog hot dog is a hot you can't you can't fuck a hot dog
But you can
You know how you fuck a hot dog you ask for consent. Yeah, that's right
You better down to the hot dog. Yeah, yeah, um, but not dude man like it was it's it's such good food
Like I know like it's it's just take away food no, but like it's the thing of for the price. It's just the value value
Because good fast food used to be good just because of value
It wasn't like and it tasted all right like it tasted pretty good back in the day
You know it wasn't nutritious. It wasn't good for you literally kills you
But it was it was the value was good and the taste was there like you got quite a lot for your you know your ten
But remember the fucking family boxes for like
Like less than 20 bucks. Oh dude. Oh dude. I remember the the anyways like four drinks four chips four burgers
Yeah for 20 dollars
So your feet so air is five dollars per person five dollars a person for
Essentially a small deal for five dollars if you were like all of us
20 dollars per person
We'd order a fucking family box and we'd also there in the entire family box. Yeah, so ourselves god
I remember doing that with you um beaders Mitch sniff
Um
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we that we called him the end yeah, Carl, but we called him krall
um
We had I thought about that dude. I thought about that dude um the other day
Real because because I was talking to her mate about wow
Oh, yeah, and that's how
I was all he did that's all he did and I was talking about how um when I think it was rathalitch king was
Uh was midway through or went mate. Why didn't cut up he was talking about how
he spent uh
24 hours and he had a level 80 character. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he's bed run well
Yeah, he's a speed run well like a fucking like a fucking virgin node
because he was
Yeah, he'll be your where
I could not get past I think I'm like a little 34 rat pally but ill thread pally that's what I remember
Do you know what the the biggest thing I hated was that you copped less than I did
purely because it took so long for me to get to level any because I barely played compared to everyone else
I didn't play nearly as much as everyone yeah, but because I didn't give up I copped so much shit
I was like
Hey, they're like, oh no good at where are you can't even level up to 80. I was like, just that quid at 30
And I'm like level 79
I couldn't level like yeah 30 something and I was just like this game sucks
Yeah, you're all playing battlefield
Yeah, it's like I'm gonna go be a fucking jock
Yeah, again, in jute things and jute things like a real like a real man
But I think I was I think at that point as well. I was also playing um NHL uh like 2k
No, it wasn't even 2k it would have been like
Uh 2008 or something. NHL 2008 on the Xbox. Yeah
Absolutely lit
Yeah, fucking the sickest shit
Games yeah games are just not what they used to be. Zack. No games games are not what they used to be
But you know what what they could be
They could be else
Let's talk let's talk game what games that we chat
You know what this is a new segment in the broadcast
It's video game. Zack. We started using the game for last five the pro pro dot game
product game
Of the games yeah, go on. Yeah production. We started using Unreal
Five unity
We started using Unreal Engine 5's act and um
So one thing I used to I just this is one of the things I want to talk about
One of the things I used to do as a kid I did this for fucking years
I did this before coming to Australia right. I used to create worlds
I would draw out the maps. I would draw out the cities
I would draw what the kind of people look like what weapons they used what clothing they used
Literally, I would build a world that's end at the time
I didn't really think about it like as a video game thing
I just thought of it because I like reading books
Yeah, so I just I thought of it more like reading like creating a story or a world that a
That a story for a book could take place, right? Yeah, hell yeah, and I did it so much like
Anyway, the other day half was like dad can you can you play with me? I was like
What do you want to do? So I want to do some craft and stuff. I was like cool
I'll come do some drawing or something you want to draw? She's like yeah, it's true
So he sat down and I was like you know what I used to do helper. I was like I used to create worlds
I used to draw up all these things and blah blah blah and she's like cool. Let's do that
So anyway, we sat down and we created the doughnut kingdom now
This is the doughnut kingdom. Yes
So as you can see up the top here, that's the island don't don't mind that that was just
Like it but anyway, I think I think I've like wanted a bunny so she drew a giant bunny on that thing
But anyway, this is the doughnut kingdom. There's the main city. There's another city up top little town
Little port some mountains and and forestry and shit. There's a uh a business doughnut. This is business man doughnut
So he's got a little right I'm gonna oh I'll try to get it a bit closer
Do you see he's got a he's got a little suit and he's got a name badge
So the hole isn't the mouth
No, the hole there's just a hole in the middle of their face
Okay, they're doughnuts all right, okay, all right, and then you've got the um the pirate doughnut man
So he's a pirate obviously he's got a nice patch. That's the next logical for two
Yeah business business man's a pirate man. Yeah, you've got you've got your your um
What is he trit it's like the fucking trench coat with the glasses
Donut like a pack of man doughnut
Yeah, you got a man doughnut. Yeah, you got a you got a guard. He's wearing some armor
That's cool and unlike that he's wearing a house. Yeah, armor and it still covers up the hole
Yeah, yeah, oh absolutely. It covers the whole lot if things are going through the holes the ultimate like side of disrespect
Well, I mean think about if you're a guard and like a good
Technique of of capturing a doughnut man would be to like shoot a little thing through his donut hole
Maybe a grappling hook real a mint you know
See there's things things you don't even think about in the donut kingdom, right?
100%
There see I got we got a little car. So this is a donut car
It's like an all terrain donut vehicle and see how it's a circle door
Yeah, and then they got a little donut house
Which has a little donut donut garden is well donut garden there. Yeah, I just say
The
Could still be like a rectangle and they roll in and then something automatically adjusts
Yeah, you do that to be sick, right? The thing is is that they have legs and arms. They're not just donuts
Yeah, so they're still climbing right but the the fact remains right that I thought it would be a really fucking cool idea to do that
So so hyper nice that down and we and we talked about it all and we were drawing it all up and everything and I was like
This is the donut kingdom
And then I literally start that back and I was like man making video games would be real fun
Yeah, and then and then we started talking about making video games
And then we we downloaded Unreal Engine 5 yeah, and I made something that you can literally technically literally play
There is only two functions that you can do which is move and jump
But I made it
Call mechanics but this is the thing right is that some of the best games ever invented
We're just moving and jumping. What is Super Mario? Yeah, moving and jumping and then every now and then you get a you get
What's the the flower to shoot fucking fireballs? Yeah, I think that was even you get because that wasn't the first game
Super Mario Brothers. I don't think you had
Uh, the ability. Oh wait, maybe you did. No, I think you did. I think you did. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that
Underground level the uh, the the dungeon level. Yeah, you did
I'm pretty sure you did but still but still very moving and jumping moving and jumping for the most part
Hmm, I make Super Mario Bros
You made you made a very complex looking Super Mario Bros
It's e look you know what unreligion five
Really easy. I've done a lot of game like making in my time, right? Yeah, but the most that I ever used was RPG maker
Yeah, now RPG maker was real fun
It was really really really cool. It was like a game to make the game. That was the cool part about it
So
Because all the tilesets and everything were already in all of the characters were there
Combat mechanics were already implemented. So you don't have to code anything
It was just
Building the world like level it like you know, you'd you'd do the fucking
The coolest part about it was like leveling and stuff and you'd create a class like you create your own class
You'd call it a warrior
And he uses these types of weapons and these type of armor and this that and this the other and he has
These abilities and when he gets to level five he unlocks
Cross strike and when he gets to level tenion
Multi-strike and it does this much damage it and it's literally just like all built in right yeah
And I made by genuinely made I reckon it would have been like one act of a video game with dialogue and like
Buildings and shops and multiple different areas and heaps of combat and all this cool stuff, right?
As a kid. Yes, I did that as a kid
and I'm like
I just like I could make money doing it now
100% imagine making a first act of a game and like your your guys
It's all 2d top down like devilish
It was like like like a like JRPG, you know like top down like that's what RPG maker was like
It was like a JRPG had you one character and it was like Final Fantasy like you know old school Final Fantasy like
One two three four yeah, my brother still plays one two
And no yeah dude and he's like trying to get me on it. I'm like dude. I hate this
This is the thing right I I would
Right now I would make an RPG in RPG maker. I would never play an RPG in RPG
It's just like it's not for whatever I don't feel like it's fun to play an old school like JRPG anymore like the turn-based combat
And so I just
It's a lot like it's an investment of like 80 hours normally
You know what I mean like you're normally playing for ADS
But anyway, I um yeah, I created this with Harper and it just it
re-ignited the like
The love of creating world and shit yeah
And and now I was thinking even last I think I we talked a little bit before we started recording but even last night
We were playing you know talk of and shit and I well playing talk of I was literally thinking to myself
I think I'd rather be making like a world like making
A video game and like I like tarc of and it's and it's but at the same time
I feel like I just play tarc of because it's a fucking habit
It does definitely feel like I have it I you know I mean
tarc of uh it auto runs on starter yeah yeah and then like yeah so now I think I need you you've been
Maybe would yourself even more
And and this was at a time when I was like on leave and I was just like when I start this computer
I I want to play tarc of this this the reason I got on and then I
Like there was that point I told you and I was like I mean I think I remember telling you
that day and I was like
I want to make a video game and and that was and that was like the start and then I was like well
I've got to sort of think about what I want to do and then then I got the engine and then we started doing this and it's yeah
You know, can I just hit you up with um, I love the world building stuff like exactly it was and I never got into
I think there was a time in grade five or six where
one of the teachers uh
Because we had an IT class right and this is like yeah, yeah, this is like when the shared network
You could run halo on a shared network oh good we played age of empire
You were yelling across the the entire thing
All the cool one like you were trying to keep it silent so the teacher doesn't know
The coolest thing too was that you were just log in and you just and you wouldn't even know if anyone else was playing
But you'd log in go to multiplayer and there'd be a lobby with like five people in it. Yeah, yeah
All right
I think you know you go in and then and there'd be some uh rather
questionable names
Of of players
Yeah, it was sick
Continue, sorry um no no that that just that's such an nostalgic fucking thing man. Yeah
The
When when we were making this game in grade five or six it was like
In this program called game maker
So it's it's like you want to make a game use game maker. It was basically a
I remember game maker
What what I made was basically uh
You to have a
actor that is all is trying to do is avoid
Everything that's moving and trying to hit it right yeah, there was no AI
There was nothing that was actually actively coming towards
The the player character sort of stuff and you just had to get through a maze that was all I made
And like it was
Incredibly difficult just to make that and I didn't find it like intuitive the way like little design wasn't stuff like that
The next time I remember really giving a shit about trying to do something inside a game was far cry too
Oh
The level that uh yes
I
Lashed my fucking mind when I was like oh my god I can edit through there is so many so much functionality to the
Far cry to map editor
Yeah, and I think it's because it's like it's like cry engine light
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's like you've got all of the mechanics already built in from the the base game
But you're not the you're not using an engine to load all of that
Yeah, yeah, you're just like this everything you can do is make a map and me and my brother used to make these huge like battle spaces
Um that would just like like
Fucking huge like I
We'd set the map size to the largest that possibly could and then we would make
Forests and we'd make like these weird routes and where rivers would naturally be and shit like that
The amount of time we spent in map editor and then we would play each other in the map editor because there was a way to
Multiplayer in the map editor. Yeah, yeah huge
Yeah, man, man, yeah, yeah, that so that set me on a path right there to like start doing more and that is when I sort of learned about
um, there was I can't remember this 2d
um
Game maker thing was but like I couldn't I hated this 2d game making thing
Yeah, all I wanted to do was make 3d stuff
Yeah, 3d 3d game design I think I'm really heavily leaning into 3d game design
It's really cool because I'm doing the opposite I really don't do the 2d. Yeah, it's super cool man
Because there's like a chance that we could actually combine the two as well. Yeah, there's a lot of 2.5d video games out there
There's a lot of like even 3d video games that you guys yeah, yeah, yeah, um
So could path traveler in that like yeah, like it uses 2d bit them because it's on unreal engine
It has all the particle effects and all the shadow and the like all the cool things that come with like triple A
3d video games yeah, but processed onto 2d sprites and it looks cool me it does and looks it looks
The way lighting and particles work for like 2d if you were just to have it 2d
lighting works in like very linear like you either going above or and like
Going from the actor and stuff like that but like once you start doing that it's definitely 3d if you get above and over
And that's that sort of it because it's all it's all a flat line
But as soon as you like go in front of a hind 3d and that's where you can really make some magical stuff
Yeah with it with a 2.5d game and I think I think eventually
When when I like start because like I'm still feeling very
base level with
Unreal stuff
Yeah, yeah, so am I
I think there is definitely a huge chance that we'll be making
Like you'll be making 2d stuff. I'll be attempting to still make 3d stuff because it's so
This is this is the thing right the 3d the 3d stuff that we have talked about making
I want to make I do want to make that
Yeah, you know what I mean? I had the end of the day like I genuinely that sounds fucking cool like it sounds cool
And this is the thing I'm like I like video games, but I haven't been fun pl-
It hasn't been fun playing that's that's my thing is it like I enjoy hanging out with the boys
But I don't necessarily need to play video games for that to be fun. No, I play video games in my off time
And I'm like like I like I enjoy it, but it's not like I'm having a great time
Like I have a great time literally having the fucking garden. Yeah, like that's that's when I have like a great time
Great
Today, yeah, yeah, I look at this one garden bed that I'm constantly pulling fucking weeds from like I need to do something we tried to do something with it didn't work
Um, but this morning just quickly this is my other thing I wanted to talk about
This is a gardening thing
I have many plants now and one of those plants is a herb and it's peppermint right now. I've just never really had
Things plants. I've never grow. I'm not a farmer, you know, I'm not a I'm not a garden boy. What I'm trying to be now do have the green thumb
I'm getting it. I'm getting it right. Um, but anyway, so I noticed that I have there's four stems on this peppermint plant
One was always flowering when I when I bought because I bought it as a seedling it was flowering already
The other three are flowering and I was like thinking I'm like
This doesn't seem like a type of plant that you just stick in the ground in the grass like like a
Regano and our gardener whatever you want to um like, you know, fucking all those other herbs that you literally just take a cutting from and you
Water it and put it in the ground and it just continues to grow all spice
You can fucking you could rip like a hunk of all spice and just punch it as far into the ground as possible
Yeah, and it will grow and it will not stop grow is the fucking it's like a weed all spices are weed and it yeah it smells nice
But peppermint I I realized because it flowered and what I thought about I was like well if it's flowering
In my limited knowledge of how plants work it probably would drop the flower and it probably be seeds behind it
So I had a look right I was like all right tiny little flower I had a look
I'm like one of these black things I like pull one of them apart
Four seeds pop out I was like this is fucking rad I was like I just figured it out
You know what I mean it's like actually fucking lit
I'm a fucking I'm a complete noob when it comes to gardening
Yeah, but like I was just in my mind like this is the first time where I didn't have to go to
YouTube or Google or something to be like how do I do this I just thought to myself well
So far like the jalapenos they flower and then the chili grows
As like capsicums flower grows and then chili grows
There's like so I guess in this instance the
Producers the leaves so the flower would fall out and then I guess seeds would be behind it
Oh, I'm there seeds yeah, dude, there's no shot. There's like I'm doing it
Yeah, I'm 110% and that's that's like
making that like
cognitive leap
Yeah is so fucking cool
of not using your own information
Yeah, and figuring it out
Yeah, like it's it's rad dude it is fucking cool
But anyway that was that was a little thing that I just wanted to talk
But I that's what I did this morning
I watered the garden and then I collected a whole bunch of peppermint seeds
And I've planted one in a little in a little little pot
little seed I'm gonna see if I can grow another one
Yeah, and that just from a seed this time from the seed of the plant that I grew in my garden
I'm doing it. Hell yeah
This is gonna be the first one of like
Like the child you know what I mean
Because everything else I've grown so far has been like a throwaway or like I get rid of it
Or I haven't tried to seed save or anything right the jalapenos are gonna be the next thing because they're grown like crazy
I reckon I've got like 40 jalapenos growing right now
Yeah, that really shot out dude it's nuts and I
I'll just visit them and like I'm not even a month ago
Yeah, two weeks ago I know there's fucking heaps of them now
It's crazy
I need to learn how to pickle them now
Yeah dude yeah
100% pickled other opinions
Dude you need you need
I'll pickle them whole dude
Like I know you'll find this out anyway but you need like dill leaves
I can't do a seed
There's other like seeds and stuff like that and then it's just like salty water
Yeah, yeah, so nice I've pickled things before I love
Pickling and uh what's what's the other fermentation fermentation?
Yeah, yeah, I love my food because that's my fermentation stuff
No, I don't think you have I used to I used to make hot sauces
Oh no you have yeah, absolutely, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, dude, so good, so good
Yeah, I want to do I want to do fermented tomatoes
Oh, okay, yeah, so fermented tomatoes it like basically turns them into paste
Like you pull the tomato out and it's so soft and rich and you literally spread it like it's like it's a jam
Yeah, like it is sick man and like people use it for you know, tomato sauce and like
Yes, yeah
Dude food food is so good when it's like when it's yours
Yeah, yeah, you put the time and effort into it and taste so much better
I taught Harper one thing right if anything I'm glad I told you this one thing
Food tastes better when you got to work together. Yeah, oh, yeah, that's a really episode where they play the ice cream dad to fucking get
The card to get the ice cream yeah, 100% exactly that and so slowly getting that yeah
But like so anytime we get Indian food um Harper's like can we walk to get it so it tastes better
Hell yeah, we can I'm like yeah, we can walk down to go get it because it's like a decent walk
That's the thing it's like it did is effort. It's effort to go get it and she's like absolutely loves it
We got home like because where she's tried Indian food wasn't a fan like you know
As kids are and um, yeah, we walked down there warm back
I was and I told her when we when we started walk I'm like trust me. This will make the food taste better
Yep, she's like wow
How does that what that doesn't make sense it's like just just trust me
And yeah, so we got the food came back she ate and she's like, Dad, this is the best Indian I've ever heard it's like I told you
Yeah
Yeah, anyway, that's that's look what I had that I wanted to talk about
The world
My peppermint seeds my garden's growing yeah
Um, I'm pretty happy with with how it's going out there. I want to do a um
A fucking hydroponix tower
I've seen those dude that looks like cool. Yeah, I want to do one of them
Letters is growing out of them like yeah, it's just yeah, that's exactly what I want to do
So I want to have a system and I want to do it here so I can just get used to it
I want to have a system where it's like every Monday take two lettuses plan two lettuses
I love that every Monday, yeah, you know, I mean so by the time I get to the bottom of the tower
The tops grown again
So then take two plant to take two plant to every Monday year all year round
Yes, I just want to you know what I mean
I want to build a little system for myself so that we always have lettus
Yeah, lettus and then you could do it with so much some
He's a shit man. He's a shit
Can you do it with like I know it sounds stupid but like how would the fuck would you do it with tomatoes or do you just let the vine?
He just needs so you need the climate if you if you're in a climate where something can grow all year round
Then you can do it all year round. But if you're in a climate where it's seasonal like vegetables and fruits
Then you just have to grow your seasonal bit like you know, I mean there will be some that you will grow all the time herbs spices lettus
Tomatoes sometimes again, it depends on your climate like Queensland that tomato plants won't necessarily die off
Because some places they die off. Yeah, I think Queensland is warm enough that they don't die off completely
But then they can re-fruit the next season
But yeah, I think there are some tropical places where tomatoes all year round. I think I could oh yeah
I would say 100% because when I was trying to grow chilies and tomatoes in Darwin my dog ate a like half a plant worth of
tomatoes and
Shit out like a whole heap of seeds against the back fence. Oh, you told me this yeah, a group a group a whole heap of fucking tomato plants
Not that seeds man because you know what on the bike because it's like the best compost you can get
And and you know what we've been trying to feed him tomatoes and he hasn't done it since and all we want is fucking another
Dude just go poop in the back out so we can have a little tomato for it
Our dogs eat heaps of like fruit and veggies and stuff too. Yeah, yeah, just because it's just
Rode diet man peanut butter fruit veggies
Of course they also eat meat and like in dog food like biscuits and all that sort of shit, but like everything else is
You know fucking raw it's like raw food because that's what they would be eating
Yeah, 100% that eat whatever they fucking get that they'd find what they could eat and they'd eat it
So have some berries have some fucking carrots have some peanut butter well they wouldn't find peanut butter, but you know
Hey, look you know what?
It is what is it?
Can I talk to you about something completely unrelated? Yeah, cool. No, I felt like that was top that was enough enough of that
So can you?
Let me just ask you
something like
It might seem a little bit left-field
Do you
Share your pictures of your kids to strangers like to strangers like imagine like you're just talking to someone
Like on the street and then if someone and if you show them pictures of your kids
So someone ask okay, they go because I don't go
Yeah, I say like I've got kids and they're like oh, yeah, we were you know, what do you got?
Oh to your old boy and almost three and six-year-old girl now. Oh, that's nice
Then I don't show them a photo
Thank you. Can I see a photo? I'm like yeah sure here's a photo of my children and I guarantee you I reckon it be like
99% of the time if they go I can I see a picture. It's a woman right? Oh, yeah
Right, okay, no bugs here. They're like you got children
You love your children. That's good. That's good. Yeah, like you know what you trying to be a good dad? Yeah good
That's what that's what I want to hear as a dad
I want to hear that other dads being good dad exactly. I don't need to see your fucking children
Okay, what your kids look like the phone you're being a good dad is good enough for me. That's all I need to know
You were good dad. Yeah, yes, cool. You know what approval in my book you are now you are now I'll talk to you
I will come I will come first
Not a scumbag excellent. Yeah, literally it's an easiest way to tell someone's a scumbag or not it's like you good dad
Yeah, they're like fucking kids of
I'm trying to go to the pub and the kids are bloody holding on to me and like you sound like a bad person
Is that like you don't you have a tenuous grip on fucking reality itself? Yeah
Let me I don't want to talk to that man. Yeah, I don't want to yeah, there's there's no there's no chance
I want to be fucking talking to that person there fucking bad people anyway. Yeah, now let me get to you
Let me get to these people that are they they I think they're good people. They these are good
Like genuinely nice people because this this happened to me recently this guy
Fucking showed me a picture of his kids. Hmm. I don't care. No
I don't I don't care
But the fact that he thought like I cared enough
I must give off some sort of vibe I give this I give this vibe of a lot to a lot of people
I must look like or sound like I care enough
Um, maybe you really don't yeah, maybe it's like it looks like you you're giving enough interest
Am I a fake person like do do do do like look here's the thing this is
So apparently I'm like this
Yeah, look apparently I'm really good for healthcare because I'm in the same boat
I come across as very very caring and for and like I'm not not
In the moment 100% right? I'm like yeah, I care about these people as soon as they walk away
I no longer give a fuck yes
Yes, I don't care
I can't I've got no interest no interest. I couldn't care less before I met you couldn't care less as soon as you walk away
Couldn't care less it sounds terrible, but apparently that's everyone in the healthcare industry
So you know you could just be like me like maybe you show the interest and you and you care at the time and it's like
That because you know what they care and you're like, you know, that's good good on you if you carry well done
You know, you know, you know to scumbag, you know to piece of shit and maybe they just take that as you're interested
Yeah, and so it sort of got me like
thinking about
The the people out there there's there's definitely like women women is really good because I asked I asked this to Kim
women are really good at like
oversharing oversharing and like just talking to all the other women made and being like
Here's a picture of my kids and no one asked and then they were always go oh my god
I know this one. Yeah, and then they they
That those are the noises women noises
man, they are
You know, they have some noises too
So it's very easy for them to be like
Here's a picture of my kids and then they go oh my god those kids are so cute here are picture of my kids and then they go
They care right? Yeah, sure
I'm not out here freely going hey, I don't know you from a grain of salt and I've met and maybe I know you've like five minutes
Here's a picture of my kids
You know I'm in no no
I I cannot tell you anytime where I've met someone you yeah and and I have
Made the you know the the call to show them my children
Yeah, I've never been in that situation never in my entire life have I been like I'm gonna I'm gonna say do you want to see my kids?
Not this yeah because I know the answer is no no one wants to except for women apparently but no one no one
I miss oh are they here
Yeah
It's it's a thing like oh they're here oh yeah sure let's have a look at your children
I think I know people that have that don't know what my kids look like and I've known them for a long time
And it doesn't affect any sort of you know actually that's I know I've known a guy for over a year now
He doesn't know what my kids look like I don't even think he knows what my kids names are and he doesn't know how old
He doesn't care
And you know what doesn't bother me. We're still really good friends
We're still really good friends and you know we we
It's it's it's not uncommon. I don't think and it's not but I think I think it's a very feminine thing though
It's a very feminine thing to maybe want to
Want to share the family I guess I don't know
Like what I'm realizing is is in our weird fucking world
The the borders between masculine and feminine are they're trying to break him down
It feels like right maybe
Maybe it feels like the guy that had showed me the pictures
He's is just oh no maybe he's at that level because it is sort of
Semi new family like that look that's probably I'd be over a year. I think I've over over
Yeah, I think I've got a bit far with the breaking down the borders about showing photos of children, but
No, I mean just not a man anymore
You know what you know what it is and this is another and like I get I'm not like religious
But I actually find pride to be a problem right oh yeah like I do I think being
Within reason being proud of something's not the worst thing in the world
The problem is is that it's so easy for pride to get out of hand right that's that's what it is right maybe
This is just a proud of his kids and he just wants to show his kids off like that's look not the worst thing in the world that is
I mean within reason that's decent amount of a good a good kind of pride sort of yeah
Yeah, yeah being proud in your kids yeah 100% you're trying to be that's huge you be like hey my kids want a fucking spelling
You know that's that's cool see I'm trying to change it from proud to thankful and in a different meaning
So different context right so let's say the spelling bee for instance right my kid goes and wins a spelling bee
Instead of being proud of the winning I want to be thankful that they were given the opportunity to go there and win right yeah
That's what I'm trying to change my mind set about because I might set like I said I just find
Like I was always proud of stuff and I found myself that it was a problem for me
Because it was like I get out of hand if I get too prideful right literally like
Because then you then you feel attacked on your pride you know you know you know I mean like it's it's a
So yeah, so proud of yourself that if anyone speaks against you like that's an insult to who you are yeah
And it's not
Usually it's not right
So I don't know I'm just trying to change that mentality for myself for pride
But that's just because I've had problems with being too prideful of stuff. I fully I fully understand what you say because there's and it does sound
very proud to
Say what we're saying right now because it's like I've I'm a more educated higher human being sort of thing
But it's more like I think people sort of need to know the difference between of like it's being yeah
Like prideful and showing off and stuff like and just being like oh man, I look don't don't thank me
This is just a thing that I've been able to do
You know, yeah, yeah, I'm not trying to be known this this is something that I can just do you know what I mean
Yeah, it's should you know that that's what I think should be the new normal is just being like
Hmm it's it's what is it humble being a humble yeah
Yeah, which is which is a big thing that we need and it's a really hard thing to do
While I'm actively trying to bodybuild because
Would I go into like the bathroom and it would just be me and I'll be like
Yeah
I'm doing every every time every day every day right at work
I do sneaky flex
Yeah, sneaky flex and yeah, because I always have a singlet on under my shirt. Yeah, so
Ripped the shirt off
Yeah, little sneaky flag quick just see how the boys are looking
You know shoulders are still popping up pretty well because I spoke just before the podcast
But I haven't been to the gym since we went together last which was about two weeks ago. Yeah, purely because I hurt myself
You know what could have been pride genuinely because I said to myself I was like I haven't tried to put I haven't tried to bench a hundred for months
Yeah, I haven't tried to bench close to a hundred four months
And I was like I'm sure I'll still be fine to bet a one-wren max like yeah, I'll be I'll be good and I did it fine
Like it went down it went up fine. Yeah went down slowly went up and then I was like you know what no
I'm good. Yeah, so we pull it back up racket, but I hurt myself doing that right pride
I should have just said to you like look I'm not feeling it
I haven't done it for so long they haven't gone close to it
I should have just dropped weight
But it was the pride in me that was like no, no, no, I've done this before. I'll do it again
Like I know I can do this easy done and then I hurt myself and now I haven't been gone to the gym for two weeks. Yeah
So you know pride within reason within reason yeah, and yeah, but it just it's so quickly leads to you hurting yourself
Like because it was just you know what I mean like it was so in my mind
It was just this quick little I probably shouldn't do this and then I was like no no no no no
Yeah, I'll go away. I know what do you are?
What do you a fucking nerd?
Oh, I'm not a pencil neck geek
Yeah, my pencil neck fucking weep
Okay, I'm here to lift heavy things. Yeah, okay. I'm here to see the face of God. All right. Yeah, that's what I'm here to do
Okay, and I did
Two weeks later I regret doing it. Okay, so I don't know pride. It's a weird one. Yeah, it's a weird one
And like I don't like again
It's it's because it's a sin right like it's like that's why I said I'm not religious
But I sort of don't agree with pride because it's a sin to be pride for even though like in
Christians that I speak to will always say that they're proud of shit
Yeah, because
There is sin or like everyone else
It is what it does anyway. I'll go I'll get into a tangent
I'll get into a tangent if I get too much into it
So I'll pull back. I'll I'll love that's that's my opinion on pride
Oh shit, that's freaking out. Do you know? Do you know who's probably also proud?
Uh, and then it's music related unless you've got more stuff music industry
Yeah, proud of the mess they've made
For all the artists
Let's get into it
Speaking of music like speaking of music, Zach what did we listen to uh, we listened to uh
Fuck tape McCraye that's a tape McCraye I can't remember the album there you go
I'm gonna can I just real quick yes, yes, I fucking struggled so hard
To listen yeah, yeah, it was I had it in the background a couple times, but
Uh, I like the main songs that everyone knows they're good
Mm-hmm, but there was something about it to me and it just it just felt like commercial music
Oh, it definitely is commercial because it does all commercial music yeah literally all it is literally all commercial music
So I don't know man. I I hope she wrote all these songs
I want to say I hope she wrote all these songs and you know, I'm gonna give her the benefit of the doubt and I'll say that she did
You know what I mean?
Like it's definitely not looking up on the computer. It's it's division of Sony music and a time in and it's RCA records so you never know
Um, I think later let's have a let's let's have a geese at what think later
Yeah, where is on it? Yeah, I'm having a look. I'm having a look. Okay look. I um yeah, it
I just
I just struggled I don't know if you'll very um tell Swift you know what I mean like it's commercial it's mainstream commercial
Yeah, I just I just really I don't know. I just I guess I wasn't in the
This wasn't the week for me to sit here and listen to commercial
You know music I ended up going back to fucking Yamei. I'm not gonna lie
No, she fucking love that album dude. So good
They know I saw I did give it a listen greedy is a good song. I do like greedy greedy is it's it's entertaining to listen to yeah
Yeah, um, I'm just trying to have a look at who wrote this album
Um, I'm guessing she does because she's a singer and songwriter and a dancer
And okay, here we go writers. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so she's a writer in every single song a lot of um
Sorry, there's banging on my door and it seems to be my song
um
There's yeah, there's lots of other
Riders and it looks like for the most part. It's the same ones on most of the songs
Uh this Ryan Teder
Yeah, yeah, so this is where he's one republic. He's the frontman of one republic
Yeah, there you go Ryan Benjamin Teder is uh is best known as the frontman for one republic
He also wrote or co-wrote on all these songs. He also produced just about every song
Yeah, um, there's also Amy Ellen
She writes songs for Harry Styles just in Bieber, Sean Mendes, Lady Gomez
so there's a lot of
big
You know, writers, songwriters, producers who have been I guess involved in
In this album
Yeah, yeah, it does seem like yeah
she she and this Ryan Teder man um
They absolutely wrote
Together this this is writing together and that's and that's where I think
unless you can be
perfectly
In symmetry with that other person you're not gonna get like your own thoughts out unless the other you know
You know what I mean the one saying is yeah, you can't be completely open
You'll select your gates your guards up and stuff like that and you won't be able to
purposefully express exactly what you'd want to say in your medium which would be in her case
songwriting
And that's why a lot of this does feel
very commercial very ready for radio and yeah, yeah, even though maybe that's exactly what the her sound is
I feel like this like if her next album or maybe the album after that is really experimental sort of stuff
You know how like tonus can be no
Yeah man
Yeah, yeah
internet and that was like him absolutely raw on a fucking plate and it was delicious
Honestly, did the same fucking thing
Tyler the creator did the exact same fucking thing
Yeah, and you've got these perfect experimental albums where they're they're just
They're delicious
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know I agree because she can look
Seems like she can write songs whether it's all her or majority her I don't know but seems like she can write some songs
Yeah, she can sing yeah
She can sing so that I agree there's there's a lot of potential for her if she was to actually release an album where it was purely her
I would like to see that I would like to see an album where it was just take macray
And it was just her writing her music and she didn't you know not having
Assistance from but mind you we might not see that because maybe she doesn't write a lot of it
I don't know I don't know this person. I know her music through ads you know the men through mainstream
Radio and shit like that
But I had never heard of this woman in my life before um, we talked about it last week no
No, that's the first time I had ever heard of her
Um, and then the first song we listened to greedy. I was like oh, kind of
Yeah, I know I know this and then that 1035 with T.S.O
That made a lot more sense now and yeah, and I was just like oh man, I actually yeah, is it X-is this thing X-is is a really big one as well
You know there's there's quite a few on there that I know
But at the same time I'd never heard of this woman before in my life
Isn't that weird?
It is
Isn't that a weird thing when you think about it? It's like there's a song she has a song 1.3 billion streams, right? Yeah
greedy 727 million streams. Yeah, how did I not know and I know these songs even to the point where I know the chorus of greedy word for word before I even knew who this person was how does that happen
Yeah, you know, I'm just trying like I'm not like accusing anything. I'm just I don't I don't get it
We're not here because I don't listen to the radio could it be like could it be like the thing of um
I said we're in the greedy in a movie that I watched you know what I mean like that
It would be it would be exactly the the the TikTok music the
Of course, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And I think I think just recently Sony has taken away all of the
Or it's the other way antique talk is taken away all of Sony's privileges
I think it's because Sony wanted money or something
Oh, and it's always yeah, it's always money related, you know, I mean like antique talk. We're like we don't care because um
Kato on the track. He's a really good producer. He's producer like Kanye and
he's he's a people right and he was talking about it recently um that it's
You know people shouldn't really be upset about it anyway because all it's going to do actually is it's just going to give
smaller artists a bigger platform to produce better music because they're taking away
Yeah, they're taking away all the big artists from TikTok right or the music
So then people just need to find good music to use and in their TikToks to make a new fucking TikTok trend or whatever
They're gonna do
So now people have to search for different music and maybe smaller artists that people don't know about yeah
Well, and that's the thing like the drinks no longer on TikTok
You got to find another commercial
Fuck yeah, it has music's not on because of this only thing um, yeah, you got to find another person who's that's like drake tailorswift
fucking
Gosh, there's this that other tailorswifter like but it's not her
There's so many people there's so many people now not on that platform anymore and it's
And maybe I don't know tamukrey might still be on there maybe not but yeah
The the reason that you know this person and don't know this person at the same time is probably because you've seen it in like
The possibly you know thousand shorts. Yeah, and it's because it's like the the music is so
ready for
Export
Export through video medium that's only gonna be watched for the 30 seconds or the 20 seconds you know what I mean
Um, we'd we'd to think about that this yeah, you can you can
Know a song word for word don't know the fuck this person is yeah, it's just I just
But well for him for it to be so big
Yeah, well that song to be so big but her name to not be that big
But am I am I just am I is my head stuck under a rock or something like you know what I mean like I don't yeah
Well, I don't know how I don't know her name. That's the thing that gets me. Do you know that song that's like
na na na na na na na na na na na na na is that drum and bass fucking like um song? Oh, yeah, yeah, it's a strange is yeah, yeah
That has half a billion fucking listens just on Spotify, right? What's her name? Oh
Fuck I do know it. I actually follow her um oh fuck up. Yeah her songs are in my playlist. Oh, okay
Like Paris Paris is also in there is it because I really like yeah, so is early in my mind, um, and that's what her name can you grace?
That's it. Yeah, so I did know like I do I six songs you pull me on the spot
But I do know her and I have quite a few of her songs in my
My playlist fair. Yeah, yeah, cuz she makes sick drum and bass man. Yes
Yeah, yeah, and I only found and she's an independent artist and she made number one with strangers in the UK
I had no idea who this person was and I've heard this song so many times and it was only because of listening to tape macray
It finished the album and then played this song straight away and I was like oh my god
I've heard of her on the radio fucking a hundred times. I don't know who the hell is yeah, and then looked at it
I was like can you grace oh awesome and then it played it because I liked the stranger song
It played Paris and it played only in my mind. I was like oh my god. There's there's also he's a fucking bangers
Maybe maybe her entire fucking catalog is bangers. She's pretty good spoiler alert
It's all fucking bangers. Yeah, can you grace? We should probably give her a
go at some time I reckon she doesn't have a
Major relationship like a yeah singles. Yeah, that's why we should probably
When she releases an album. Yeah, 110 fucking percent. We would listen to Kenny Grace
I'm gonna give her a follow
Because this is the first time I've followed an artist in
I can't in Spotify in so fucking long I the last person I followed fuck who was it
sick kick
Sleep over there. We got nice. Yeah, holy shit. Yeah, that's the last time. Yeah, that's the last time um
Yeah, um anyway back to the album
Back to the album back to the album. I um
Look, I want to give it more than I want to give it honestly
Because I liked it. Yeah, that's and look. It's not bad. I really it's actually I think object not objectively
But I think on the masses people agree it's not a bad album because it has fucking
Millions billions of strings. Hmm
So it can't be bad. Well subject but
It can't be but it also could be it could be in some people's eyes
It could be in some people's eyes
But in my eyes, it's not bad. I just I just didn't vibe with it this week and maybe I'll try give it another lesson
You know, like during the week this time and see next week. I'll let you know if I was able to get in
To it again because sometimes that happens. Hmm. Um, what was the one of the last ones that happened
Um recently and then we came back and were like this as fucking it
Uh, jeez. Oh
Yeah, no, I can't I
It's been a while. This is the thing. It's been a while. It's been a while since we've been like you know
Wasn't like I'd and I'll try and give it another go. Yeah, I think it might have been like some fucking wrap or something
So hip-hop album or something. I'm not too sure. But anyway, I'm gonna give it just because it's obviously done really well
commercially
Zack I'm gonna give it a seven. Oh
I do like greedy. I like greedy. I like X's there are some's like they're good greed the course and greedy is lit
Yes
Um, and it's done and the album is done amazingly well
And it's it sounds pretty good
It's a seven you know what I mean like it's it's above average but not much fair enough
Uh, you know six and a half six and a half oh well. All right. It's going to be I said no no no because I said it's it's
It's above average but not by much seven feels too far for that
Fair enough let me just tell you what I think though because if you keep talking that score is gonna keep getting lower
Oh, that's a two
Hahaha
Never listen to this it's a one it's a point five
plummeting
Look let me just let me be really brief
Um
This album when I started listening to it I felt the exact same way I was like this is super it's like hyper commercialized ready for the radio
um
There's no point in listening to it because it's regurgitated garbage that's going to
Be filtered out for the rest of eternity you will never see this again sort of stuff
And then I started listening to it more and more and I think I think I went through about eight or nine iterations of this album
Like to the point when I when I think it would have been the fifth listen through
I went as soon as it ended and I went to that strangers on I listened to the stranger song because I fucking dig can you grace yes
And then I restarted the album I didn't just like so I restarted I went to the point of
I'm going to fully immerse into this album and cut my hair
Absolute fucking banger of a song
Yeah, the first fucking hit straight off straight off the fucking bat is an absolute hit of a song um
There's a lot of vocal processing that happens on
This album that I find really really really interesting where it's it's like she's
Uh whoever's whoever's done the vocal processing for her like takes has
Uh, has reduced the bit rate and and also distorted the shit out of it
So that I did notice that it was like we you know this is what I like is that you're really good at like pinpointing
What it sort of sounds like they did yeah technically and I just say it sound weird men
So kind of weird no sound so it been so this was a technique that I found a long long time ago that
Uh could be done in FL studio where
It was like how do you make vocals that sound like Drake because Drake also does the same thing
And maybe it's the same thing that happened here so
They it's in FL studio as well
So what they do is is they they can take the bit rate down or they down sample it
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, and what what will happen is is it takes away a lot of the harsh essays it
Um, it makes the the explosive so let the peas and the beans and the you know all this all stuff
Yeah, it takes away a lot of the power of that so you don't get a lot of the base that like would punch through
Yeah, yeah, what what it ends up doing is is you get like this really like blocky sort of vocal
Vocal just from down sampling it and then when you distort it you get those mini peaks again
So you get like an s that has more sh to it instead of us
Oh, yeah, more of the the the the shush instead of the the and instead of yeah instead of the sizzle with the shush
Yeah, so it's it's an s hate instead of an s
Yeah, yeah exactly and so
It just it makes it a little bit spiky out so it's it's more it yeah, yeah, so
What?
Oh, I've got more knocking on my door
Hang on guys, I'm still going
Almost almost almost almost
Uncle Zach is fucking is gushing over an album
Um
So really cool vocal processing I find I found that really really cool
And especially for a voice that has a really decent range a lot of she puts in a lot of work for this sort of stuff
I'm not gonna even talk about her dancing. I didn't watch any dance or anything like that. Oh, I needed it
I I didn't know that she does dancing
She's it says in a thing Calgary native. She's a she's Canadian
Canadian yeah senior rich
Canada e
Singer songwriter and dancer
Yeah, I'm just focusing on the first two because the last one I don't I don't care I don't care
It's like crispy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like like doing this to a crisp. Oh, let me go
Yeah, we go like you know his but his dancing wasn't on point in this album
It's like neo
Oh, dude, that should be I know. It's like cool. R&B artists. Yeah
So look what I'm gonna wrap it up because like as much as I as much as I really like talking about this album
There's a lot of really good songs on here
Hmm, that's bad
Think later was an absolute hit for me especially
like it like
Put me back on which is not thought he just like flew off the chair
Think like one so late in the
In the album it really perched me back up to like listening to the up so it was like it's like you know
You like ride the roller coaster of the album think later picked me back up because listening to like
I think it was Calgary or is guilty conscience something there
It was something that they're talking back down and then plastic palm trees actually was lit plastic palm trees are really really
Fucking cool song it to round off the end of the album really really cool song
um overall
I
Like it enough to recommend it to other people
That I think would like it you know, you know when you're fair enough you know when you're like oh man
I would recommend sleep token to people
Oh, don't like I would recommend it to whoever
I would recommend sleep token to everyone I would recommend take me cray or at least specifically this album
I'd recommend that to Kim I'd say no you should listen to this album
I think it's good enough to listen to in its entirety and I think he would enjoy it
um
I'd say Jackie probably would enjoy I know she would because she enjoys the songs that like I started playing them
She was like you're listening to this I was like yeah, she's like I know all these like she's like I know songs
I know this person was like yeah, well that's
There you go, yeah, and yeah, so I'm at that point where this this uh
This album I could definitely be like I I would know people that would be like you know what I would I would
Listen to that so I'd recommend it to him. I say and in fact that I'm gonna give it an eight
Nice. It's an eight for me
Uh, because it's it's got enough in it
That makes me makes my brain tingle you know what I mean it makes
As far as like lyrics and stuff like that that doesn't it's engaging enough
But the the work that sort of has gone into the album I can I can definitely appreciate it
Look, this is a thing with lyrics. It's it's one of those things where I feel in my opinion
Like the best lyrics are always the ones that are written for a reason right
Not necessarily lyrics written to fit a song if that makes sense
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know what I mean like what just just in my just from my experience
What I found is that the lyrics that fucking pop yeah is the ones that they wrote years ago
And then it just happened that these lyrics fit the specific song you know what I mean yeah, we could I could I give you a little bit of
Weird history music history yes, absolutely so
Kurt
From Nevada
Hmm rise to co-bank mr. Kabean um the the guy that is a really good painter now he
Uh, it didn't entire wall in like two seconds flat
Well, let me talk about his
writing the
Like like music songwriting stuff. Hmm. He would always say
Don't worry about the lyrics don't worry about the the songwriting
We got to do the music first the music is always first and he
The lyrics he wrote if you look at some of the lyrics doesn't make a lot of sense
No, it doesn't you're right
Some of them are like little stories like if you listen to Polly from there the yeah not the first album, but the first album
Um, isn't it Polly yeah, no music nerds it's not
That
You say
You never mind isn't the first hours like oh well
No, you're not a great, you're fine you got you actually need a fish album. Oh man. I don't know why did that that's so dumb
But like Polly and something in the way that our songs on there that do have like oh, it's a story
But like he was literally just him making sure that the music was really good first and then he's like you know what?
This story wouldn't really fit over this song it's um maybe maybe maybe uh maybe I'm wrong
Because there's there's there's always a place for oh I wrote these lyrics the fucking ages ago
I just wrote these lyrics now and now I need to make a song that fits these lyrics or
I don't care about the lyrics. I just want to make a good song and then you accidentally make really good lyrics that fit with a good song
Yeah, it can work both ways and you get good
You know what one thing that like instantly sort of debunks what I say
I guess not debunks because it's not like fire fucking bang and lyrics
But um man's not hot now
Not even even better these Kanye West's uh that fucking
Scoop Diddy Poop Scoop Diddy Poop
And all because Drake wanted that beat and Kanye was like no one having this beat
Scoop Diddy Poop
Oh man what a you know what you know what we say it all the time it's subjective
Someone might find Scoop Diddy Poop to be the best lyrics on earth
And someone might find it not to be
Who's to say anyone's wrong because it's subjective and no one's wrong so
And for that we we don't apologize actually
I'll never apologize for anything. I will say this though
Sorry for party rocking
Sorry for butter rock dance
Zach what are we listening to? Are we listening to LMFAO next?
We're listening to LMFAO sorry for party rocking it's gonna be huge
We're going back in you know get your big pants on in the the neon
Socks and bras and stuff like that. We're gonna just do back when life was so much better
Back in the day literally only 13 years ago
I only how is that 13 years ago that this album was released?
That means that there are people who are 13 years old 13 year olds right now were born in the same year that party
Yeah, and they don't know how to do the running man
Oh me they don't know how to do the running man it makes me feel real old
Yeah, well prepare to feel even older because you're gonna be going down a trip down memory lane

Oh fuck was it was we heard and to don't with
Oh, Swedish house mafia and scrillex and there is nowhere. Knife party. That's what it was
Oh, yeah, yeah, we had that like four or five times that entire day. We're like, oh my god
It's that song is there it's no worry. Don't you worry child was was the year before?
Yeah, don't you worry everyone played their own version of don't you worry child?
And I heard it like seven times that day. Yeah, dude even bingo players played it
Yeah, but a rattle from bingo players
Yeah, that's all them
My my only you the one song
I what else broken it back my mates dad
Um, he said it sounds like a dance syndrome kid playing a cascio
That's so good
Yeah, that's funny, man. Yeah, that's the secret here, man
The shit you hear from like 60-year-old dudes are just like I'm gonna give a fuck then I can fuck
I'm gonna be like that at 30. Yeah, I turn 30 this year
It's coming up real quick smart
I think we should probably wrap this up. Yes, all right. Yeah, oh first of all
Do we have any fucking voice?
I love that you remind me of this. I used to do the same for you
Yeah, and now the how the tone table
Turns of table
So let's it's let me just say this it's not loading
Uh, it's something's weird. Oh, oh wait, hold up
No
If you want to avoid this embarrassing moment where we hear a scream and nothing comes up
um what you can do for us is
Jump in and give us a voicemail pick up your phone
Go to your keypad tell us about the artificial scarcity of viannabrid
That's right. We want to hear that's never going. I don't know who that man was
Yeah, but thank you because I'm never letting that go just so you're aware
Sir if you still listen if you're listening right now
The artificial scarcity of viannabrid will forever be on my mind
It's sticking to because like yeah, it's artificial scarcity not just with viannabrid but other
This is the reason stuff that there's an artificial scarcity of there's no reason for there to be a scarcity but you've made one dude
This you know what actually this sounds like a guy that went into like a business class
You know what I mean? He did like business study business at university sort of shit that that's what that sounds like
Um, but if you if you want us if you want to also want to
Tell us about the artificial scarcity of viannabrid's act what do they do?
They pick up the phone they go to the keypad they're typing the number
+61 7 5641 1080 and you can leave us a voicemail
You can leave us a meme a message a suggestion for the up in the week or if you just want to leave us
Like absolutely bamboozled with the artificial scarcity of vienna bread you can absolutely do that
That number again is
+61 7 5641 1080
and if you don't have to do the plus you just hold the zero down on your smartphone and it'll it'll do a plus
So that's I don't know maybe that might have been the limiting factor for a lot of people
make
Maybe remember that the number is also in the description of this podcast and video
So you can also get it right there
Other than that to we just we just wrap it up
That's that's it. Oh thank you so much for listening
