Transcript

SPEAKER_02 0:05

The following podcast is intended for mature audiences. This question is advised. We are two idiots, so please take everything we say with a bit of start. It's been a little while. I'm Neil and I'm here with Damon. Yes. There we go. So, um, yeah, how you been anyway, mate? Since uh the last one, it's been a bit of a while. There's been a bit of a fuckery on my end, which is why it's been delayed. But how you been?

SPEAKER_00 1:00

Yeah, not bad, bit stressed, and you know, I've been to America planning other things and we have a bona fide Florida man with us. Yeah. Today. Yeah, but I've survived two hurricanes.

SPEAKER_02 1:13

He did, he was there while all that shit was going on, so that's uh yeah, the one let me in the pool. The one thing that you were there for.

SPEAKER_00 1:21

Yeah. The parks were closed, and there's like it's a bit of a breeze. I was like, let me in the pool.

SPEAKER_02 1:28

No, it's just classic, isn't it? Um so yeah, you said stressed, why stressed?

SPEAKER_00 1:35

Because I should have thought of this beforehand. I'm the only one who has a phone contract that will let them use it in America. Right. No one had internet, no one had money on the phone, so if I couldn't call them, they could not call me. It was WhatsApp or nothing. And where the taxes are, when you come to Disney and Universal, there's no internet. Or if there is, it's very shit. You're right on the the cliff, yeah. Right. Yeah, you're right right on the cliff. Okay. Um so the idea was we would go, we can do our own things and meet up on certain days. Threw that right out the door right there because no one else was able to uh order taxis. Well, they can get to it because the hotel. The hotel's Wi-Fi was okay outside, but the parks, not so much. Right. I can see where this is going. And there was a number there's you can get five people five people in a car, minus one because of the driver, so it's four. There's five of us.

SPEAKER_02 2:54

I see the problem, it doesn't matter.

SPEAKER_00 2:56

Yeah. One of one person is eight years old and he's got a bad knee. So he decided he's gonna rent a scooter.

SPEAKER_02 3:05

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 3:07

So that means we can order an XL Uber. Right. Six seater.

SPEAKER_02 3:13

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 3:15

Not enough room for uh his scooter there. So that means two cars.

SPEAKER_02 3:23

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 3:24

But because a normal car can't take a scooter, you've had to order a normal car and an XL.

SPEAKER_02 3:30

Oh, for fuck's sake, right, okay.

SPEAKER_00 3:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 3:34

So basically you were the internet bitch the whole time you were there. So I'm guessing then the problem is that you've racked up a shitload of funds.

SPEAKER_00 3:43

No, no, no, because um I was like hot spotting to everyone, and it doesn't cost me anything.

SPEAKER_02 3:47

Right, okay, fair enough.

SPEAKER_00 3:49

So that wasn't too bad, it's just annoying.

SPEAKER_02 3:52

Christ.

SPEAKER_00 3:53

Yeah, super stressful. So, yeah. Yeah, it was like ass.

SPEAKER_03 4:03

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_00 4:04

Apart from that, it was good. Um come in, landed, got through security, no problem. Then um I would look back, and the old people are at the back, nowhere to be seen. We had to wait ten minutes for them to catch up. Um apart from that, not too bad. Ate some stuff, had a giant turkey leg. Yeah, it was like a caveman's club. Um can't go wrong with that, yeah. Um, but it was like twelve or thirteen dollars. Jesus Christ, man. Yeah. It took me about twenty minutes to eat it though. Fucking hell. So it was, you know. Pretty hefty. I mean, there's the picture. Jesus Christ. Yeah. It's like a dog's leg. It's about the size of a 12 size 12 shoe.

SPEAKER_02 4:56

Jesus Christ, alright, fair enough.

SPEAKER_00 4:59

Just meat. Yeah, it was alright.

SPEAKER_02 5:03

So other than getting stuck into hurricanes, like what the fuck happened there? Like, what was that like? Because you said it wasn't really hurricane, it was just like bad weather here. Yeah. Right, I'm gonna ask you a question. Was my wedding day worse than what they had? Remind me. Just pissing it down all day. People died, people got trapped in floods and shit. Just pissing it down on my wedding day.

SPEAKER_00 5:33

Yeah, I was too drunk, I can't remember.

SPEAKER_02 5:35

Um that's a valid response, actually.

SPEAKER_00 5:38

Yeah. I remember a pool of water outside the taxi, that was it.

SPEAKER_02 5:42

To be fair, you were the pool of water at my wedding, so yeah.

SPEAKER_00 5:48

If that water was alcohol.

SPEAKER_02 5:50

Well, if that water is whiskey, then yeah.

SPEAKER_00 5:53

Uh but um where we were, we're not by the coast, so it wasn't too bad. People by the coast got screwed over. Um, a lot of people were being evacuated from the coast to our hotel. Yep. Um there was meant to be on at least on the second um hurricane, they were predicting 20 foot waves.

SPEAKER_02 6:18

Fuck, okay.

SPEAKER_00 6:19

Yeah, good god. They were literally the news was literally saying if you haven't evacuated, write your name, your age, your address, everything on your arm with a sharpie so they can recover your body.

SPEAKER_02 6:32

Wow, okay. That's yeah, that's a bit fucked.

SPEAKER_00 6:39

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 6:39

Jesus Christ, man.

SPEAKER_00 6:41

And uh there was some TikToker who have used to uh leave the house. I don't know what's gone on with that. I'll have to look at look up to it, look into it.

SPEAKER_02 6:50

Fuck. Alright, yeah. Sorry if you can hear fireworks in the background, guys. There's people who are setting them off. I can see them in the glass cabinet because Nikki just messaged me on WhatsApp saying that they're going off. So if you can hear them, I'll try and edit them out. But if you do hear them, I do apologize for that because we've moved down to my living room, so rather than the back room, which is for some reason really shit in sound. And hot. Well, yeah, that back room is boiling hot to be fair. And here it's not as not as bad now that I've got new flooring. Um, so the fiasco with the episode three and what happened with that. So the reason why these two episodes are so close together, and the reason why there's been such a delay in time between episode two and three is for multiple reasons. So lots of cock-ups. A few cock-ups. My laptop that I had at work got attacked by Russia basically and just died, it wouldn't turn on. I left it on on a Friday to do some stuff. I told my colleague to turn it off because we left early. They did. I came back in on the Monday, would not turn on, so I basically lost everything. What you do? Exactly. I lost all of the stuff, so I had to basically beg our IT guy to get it all sorted for me. Um, so he's put everything on a OneDrive on a brand new computer that my boss bought me. Um me and Nikki have put new floor in down because the cat's had fleas, so that's now managed to finally resolve itself. So I had to fork out a shitload of money for the downstairs floor, and we've done that, we've put that in ourselves. Um Fred did come and help with the hallway, although he wasn't asked to, but he did it anyway, which was quite nice. Um, and yeah, there's been lots of little things going on. I've been working away a lot in the past few weekends. Good job, Fred. Yeah, Fred did a good job of the hallway. Fred did the hallway, we did it, yeah. But um I mean it's not finished, um, because there's still a few bits of I want to put down, but that can wait. Um as I have a few new projects that I want to kind of do. So uh there's a few bits and bob that I've bought myself, which I'm not gonna discuss yet. I will discuss it with Damon as on a podcast, because it's a new hobby that I'm doing. Um could potentially be quite a good earner for me. So, but I will discuss it later on, so I'm gonna push my own shit. Yeah, so you know, wait bait on that one.

SPEAKER_00 9:39

Um yeah, only fans on the way.

SPEAKER_02 9:42

Only scruns, yeah. Only scruns. It will give you plenty of wood. Literal wood. Okay, not bone of wood, but wood wood.

SPEAKER_00 9:51

Okay, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 9:52

So that's a bit of a hint for what it is, but anyway, I digress. So that's kind of why there's been a bit of a gap between the episodes, so because I had started editing it and then I lost everything, and I had to start again because it just fucked off. So yeah. And we had an issue with the RSS as well because we swapped from one provider back to another one, and nice, nice. Um, for for those obviously listening because you can't see what just happened because it's not recorded. Damon was very polite and leaned away to the corner of the sofa and just burped very quietly to the corner of the sofa so you wouldn't hear it. But yes. Um so we're kind of doing this on uh on a very odd night, Friday night, straight after work. Um, because I'm at a party tomorrow night and then I'm away until Wednesday with work from Sunday afternoon. So I'm not around for the next few days, so enjoy your Sunday, you bastards, because I don't have one. So yeah, but uh Jesus, they're really going through with them fireworks now, Christ. Yeah, nice, but yes, we we are almost now on the cusp of having the download lineup, yeah, and I have made a few changes to my predictions, mainly the headliners, because originally I was saying sort of you know Death Leopard, Ghost, and Bring Me, I think was my original.

SPEAKER_00 11:30

I keep seeing Iron Maiden being bought up everywhere.

SPEAKER_02 11:34

I was gonna say this. Now, I think it's gonna be Iron Maiden, Green Day, and possibly Bring Me the Horizon slash sleep token. Yeah. Now, I don't know if it will be sleep token. It'd be pretty cool if it was, but I don't know if they're big enough yet.

SPEAKER_00 11:54

I think yeah. I I said this last year. I think it would be a pretty big risk. I said last year that they should mainstage, may be main on this on the second stage.

SPEAKER_02 12:03

Oh, yeah, yeah, second stage where I'm on about a headliner, headliner. Yeah, I think it's a bit too much of a jump because they were on the undercard before. Yeah, that's a bit of a leap to get them up there, but they'll definitely be there. Probably, like you say, a second stage headliner, but I've also seen a lot of people saying corn. Now, if corn do headline download, I'm gonna literally die.

SPEAKER_00 12:27

They have just released um new Ali Dasmulch.

SPEAKER_02 12:32

That's normally a sign that they've got something coming, normally. But um so my prediction now is Green Day, Iron Maiden, and Bring Me the Horizon slash sleep token, but I don't think sleep token will. However, it could be Lincoln Park, but I don't think it will be. I think it's a bit too close to them coming back to kind of go, yeah, but they're gonna do it. So I reckon next year, yeah, definitely Lincoln Park.

SPEAKER_00 13:01

Would Download have known they were coming back together before they came back together?

SPEAKER_02 13:05

Exactly. So Andy Coppin said back in 2023 after it finished that you'd already booked the next couple of years already. So 2024 and 2025, so I don't think so.

SPEAKER_01 13:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 13:19

Unless you knew something that we didn't, but I I seriously doubt that. But yeah, um that's my new update prediction, but we'll see. We've only got a few days left to wait and find out, and as soon as we do find out, you can bet your bottom dollar we're gonna do a pretty quick episode reviewing everything on that. Because obviously, like we said before, we don't want this to be download heavy. And the other three episodes were. So this will be the last time it's mentioned prior to that episode, and then after that, we'll go and move away from download until we're on the cusp.

SPEAKER_00 13:57

I've got some ideas we can do. I wanna if there are bands on there that I don't know too well, I would like to listen to them.

SPEAKER_02 14:05

Yeah, well, to be fair, that's what I'm gonna have to do with Maiden because I don't really like Maiden. Yeah. Like I I know that's weird because I said it to my dad yesterday. Um Yeah, I mean, for me, it's uh kind of play with madness. But the church I'll do like that as well, yeah. But I said to my dad, I was like, I don't like Maiden, and he went, You don't like Maiden? He was like, I'm surprised at that. I was like, No, I just I don't know what it is.

SPEAKER_00 14:30

I just can't I could be one of them ones where you see it live, you're not like yeah, I like it.

SPEAKER_02 14:34

Maybe, yeah. But obviously, we just lost we just lost Paul Diano, who didn't wear the original, yeah. Well, not the original, but the the first focus that they had on Reddit.

SPEAKER_00 14:44

Yeah, what watch watch them be the headliners and they're the back tape because of that.

SPEAKER_02 14:48

No, no, we wouldn't have done no because it they did a tribute to actually where uh they you know played a couple of the old school songs with obviously Bruce doing it, but yeah, I mean other than that, and besides that, like personal life-wise, me and Nikki have now been married for a year, which is weird to say because it's been the quickest year of my life.

SPEAKER_00 15:12

Yeah, I had a uh reminder about that.

SPEAKER_02 15:14

Yeah, and people say you know the first year of marriage is the hardest. I don't know what the hell they're on about because it was so easy, it's just yeah, it's just like I'm pretty much set for life, I guess. Yeah, no, so get on with it. You know, we've had some good news personally as well, which I won't go into, but uh yes, good things are happening, so uh we'll see where they go. But um yeah, lots of lots of new interesting things. I mean, really the only thing I can think of is recently I've been playing a lot of Hoggort's legacy, like I've finally got around to buying it. Um I bought it for very cheap online in the C D key place. Yeah, how much do you think I paid for it? Bear in mind on Xbox it's like 40-50 quid still, probably like 12.90. Spot on, yeah, spot fucking on, mate. 12 1290. That's how much I paid for it. Exactly. I'm not even bullshitting, you're spot on with that.

SPEAKER_00 16:15

I usually am. Just like the kettle boils, to be fair.

SPEAKER_02 16:19

Yeah, that was fucking the only kettle that download. Jesus Christ.

SPEAKER_00 16:22

It boils when I tell it to. You boil.

SPEAKER_03 16:29

God damn it, Dutch! God damn it, boil that kettle so mid. I've got a play along. Oh man, goddamn Dutch!

SPEAKER_02 16:49

Anyway, um that must be a pretty sick drum bait. That one, I don't know if that would come through or if I've edited it out now, but that that was so but-da-bum-bum. That was sick.

SPEAKER_00 17:02

That did actually remind me of A Song, but I don't know what it is.

SPEAKER_02 17:08

Yeah, I've just been playing a lot of it recently, and it's it's kind of it's good, but I started my my character because I'm a Ravenclaw in terms of Harry Potter, like that's the house I've always been in. And I ported over um, you know, the the Wizard in World thing that used to be Potomore, where you could get your house sorted, your Patronus, all that shit, and you wand.

SPEAKER_00 17:31

Was that like the beta version or something?

SPEAKER_02 17:34

Yeah, Pottermore used to be that, now it's Wizard in World. Got yeah. So if you already did that one, you'd have to do it again to find out what you are. But I think you would have been fine because you did it for our wedding, obviously. Um who won me? Yeah, to find out what I actually're Gryffindor, aren't you?

SPEAKER_00 17:51

Oh both, and I.

SPEAKER_02 17:53

Well.

SPEAKER_00 17:55

Yeah, but I was Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, I think. It was either way.

SPEAKER_02 18:01

Huffle poof. But yeah, you won't go Gryffindor anyway, because you got to choose. Um But on there you can do like your wand wood and stuff like that, and all the shit to do with that, and I didn't know, but Nikki said, Oh, you can link the two up when you stop the game. I was like, Oh, okay. So I started playing it, and um yeah, like I linked him up and it added all of my stuff, like the wand wood, the phoenix core, all that shit with the wand. I started playing it, and it's good, and it is good fun, and you know, I like it, but there's a few things that I think Steven announced they're doing a second one, which how popular it was you'd expect they would anyway.

SPEAKER_00 18:45

I did watch my friend complete it within the first like three days.

SPEAKER_02 18:48

Yeah, yeah. It's not a hard game to play. Like when if you put it on like hard difficulty, then it's very hard because it doesn't prompt you with anything, and you basically take one hit and you're fucked. But dark souls, yeah, it is quite hard at some point. So I did admittedly turn the difficulty down because Nikki was like, You're not getting any prompts for anything. She was like, This is ridiculous. Because I am trying to wizard. Well, I was trying to do it and I couldn't do it, and Nikki had a go, and she was like, Well, I can't do it, I've completed the game. I was like, Oh, cool. Um but I've got to a point now where I'm coming towards I've learned the first unforgivable curse, which is Crucio in the game. Yeah, because I've been trying to take it slow, you know, explore, kind of make it last. Um, but I've kind of stopped it because I thought, well, I'm playing so far ahead as myself, I'm gonna make a Gryffindor character who's an absolute bitch to everyone, and I have, and it is fucking hilarious because I've literally just been insulting everybody, like undermining every character, and they've just can't fucking stand me. It's hilarious. I'm just like coming in, just pissing everyone off, it's quite fun. Um, so yeah, like all of the second options where you just like question everyone, like, oh, why have I gotta do this? I'm just like pissing them off, it's quite fun. Um, and I've given her a really high-pitched, like natty voice as well to kind of like be annoying. Um well, I'm enjoying that at the moment. Um played a bit of more of Doom because obviously they've re-released it under a new engine on the Xbox, so which is on Games Pass, which is really fun. It's a really fun like they've changed something in the engine because I'm for those who don't know, I'm an avid Doom player, it's like my number one game. I was stuck on it when I was three years old. My parents put me on it to shut me up, and that's the reason why I like metal music, and probably the reason why I do all the stuff that I do with my career as well, because that's where the music came from, was because of Doom. So interestingly, the new engine is very unique in the way that it's very much tailored towards console gaming, whereas the old ports were kind of like not as sensitive on the control settings, like you could turn them up, but it wouldn't give you the same feel as the keyboard and mouse. Yeah. Now, I played them and I was wasn't expecting much, I just thought I was probably gonna have some like new light and you know, the kind of just the you know, scratching the surface. But when I started playing them, they've got the um Andrew Holtshill Doom, sort of the IDKFA music soundtrack as default in the game. So it's like all proper heavy metal sounds like a mix of Pantera and you know Alice and Chains and Metallic are all mixed into one. Nice. And the game plays like fuckery. Like I'm telling you, man, like just play it. If you've never played it before, just download it on your computer or something because it's it's a new version that's come out, it's fucking sick.

SPEAKER_00 22:09

Cool, I'll have a look.

SPEAKER_02 22:10

Um yeah, that's kind of what I've been doing recently. Um in terms of games. I don't know about you. Have you been playing any games recently or game wise? Anything you'd like to discuss? Hobbies?

SPEAKER_00 22:29

I mean, I'm still stuck playing League of Legends for the past it's been ten years now.

SPEAKER_02 22:34

I was gonna say you were playing that before we knew each other.

SPEAKER_00 22:37

Yeah. I'm sure is either 2012 or 2014. No, it's gonna be 20. It's gonna be somewhere between 2012 and 2014. So it's been about ten years. Still playing it. Still average. Um but there's a new game mode out which I'm quite enjoying. Um it's where like you you have your standard abilities and your ultimate, but you can also get someone else's ultimate.

SPEAKER_01 23:09

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 23:10

So, and then every 10-ish minutes you when you go back to the shop, you can swap that ultimate again.

SPEAKER_02 23:18

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 23:19

So it's like So you've got like two ultimates, and you can you've got your character's ultimate and then whatever else. So you can like combo stuff, which is quite fun.

SPEAKER_02 23:29

Sounds quite fun to be fair. I mean, like similarly to that another one that you've just reminded me of with comboing and specials and stuff. Me and Nikki both, while we were off on our honeymoon, were playing um South Park the Fractured Butthole. Yeah. Together at the same time. It was quite funny because she started an hour and a half ahead of me. I was tailing her, tailing her, tailing her, and then about halfway through the game, I just overtook her. And then I got like two hours ahead of her. I don't know how I did it, but I just flew through it. Wow. Um because I already played it before, which probably helped, but it was on the PC, so it was a bit different on the controller.

SPEAKER_00 24:06

Yeah, yeah. Um what difficulty do you what difficulty did you select?

SPEAKER_02 24:15

Well, I'm a pretty little white boy, so I picked pretty little white boy settings, so um easy mode according to that game. Um which is still ridiculous, but I'm tempted to start the game on the hardest difficulty and see.

SPEAKER_00 24:33

What's that one?

SPEAKER_02 24:38

Fucking hell. So I'm tempted to do that and see how far I get, and if it is indeed harder or if it's just for shits and giggles.

SPEAKER_00 24:51

Probably shits and giggles, it probably is, isn't it, really?

SPEAKER_02 24:54

Um racist and well yeah, but it's South Park, they just go after everyone, don't they, really? Yeah, except metalheads. I've never seen them do that, never gone after metal heads.

SPEAKER_00 25:06

Well, they are metalheads, aren't they?

SPEAKER_02 25:08

So are they? Yeah. Well, I didn't know they were. I probably haven't done it then.

SPEAKER_00 25:12

Yeah. Yeah, probably.

SPEAKER_02 25:14

Thing is though, if they're Crimson Dawn. Well the thing is though, if they did take the piss out of themselves, if they did do that. Meta. It would be one meta and two, it'd be hilarious because and I've I've often made this argument. If a metal head's getting the piss take out of them, nine times out of ten, they'll just go, yeah, fair enough. What about the moop episode? Moop. Oh yeah, no, that's just taking the piss out of Lars Orrick, isn't it? There you go. So, but that's really easy to do anyway, to be fair.

SPEAKER_00 25:50

But um yeah, Timmy and the Lords of the Underworld.

SPEAKER_03 25:59

Tabba, so good.

SPEAKER_00 26:03

Yeah. I want to see more Crimson Dawn, that was that was sick.

SPEAKER_02 26:07

Yeah, that's great. That was when you showed me that, because this was back when we were in Bloody Unit. When you showed me that, I couldn't get over it. Couldn't get over it. Like I was like losing my goddamn mind, and they did that. It's just butters. Butters in then fucking car. Just got stunned going so fucking brilliant.

SPEAKER_00 26:38

I'm actually actually like a full song and then add it to the demo playlist.

SPEAKER_02 26:42

Well, funny you should say that I've started a bit of a download playlist, but I'm thinking so I'm thinking already, thinking ahead.

SPEAKER_00 26:49

Yep, me too. I have brought a speaker.

SPEAKER_02 26:52

He has, it's sitting currently behind my laptop.

SPEAKER_00 26:56

Since the internet is usually shite, we should load some songs, either download through Apple Play, or if you don't want to waste your battery on your phone, USB or a uh SD card, which Matt can take.

SPEAKER_02 27:11

Well, I was thinking of doing that because the playlist I've got is more of an old school metal playlist because I'm thinking if Maiden R headlining, then what we should probably do is go old school metal. Like, you know, like priest, stuff like that. Yeah. Um yeah, stuff like that, and then um smoking weed, brick and the lull. It's download, baby. But but no, so do that and then have like a punk playlist of Green Dale headline and then have like a polish one. I think we should have like mix it all up so it's all like a big I want to do I want to get a couple of genreised playlists, and like blend them, and then yeah, we can do some kind of mixing because the thing is, right, if we went off of everybody's music taste, we'd hear shit that we're used to hearing, yeah. So there's no like oh fuck, who's this? This is sick. Like you're not discovering anything. Like I was saying to Damon just before we started recording. Sorry, that's my cat Ted me out at the door, bless him. Um we need to do the playlist thing because like when I was coming home from work the other day, I was listening to one of my normal playlists on Spotify, and then this band popped up that I'd not actually heard before, which was called Coroner. Now, some of you listening probably going, Why the fuck do you not know who Coroner are? But I've got a very specific type of metal that I'm really into, which is like obviously there's the thrash, there's the you know, melodic black and death metal, I guess you could call it, like your dissection type bands and stuff like that. So I'm really into that kind of music, and obviously like tool and more prog bands, like you know, Devin, Tanzan, stuff like that. This band does all of it in one, and I listened to it and I was like, holy crap! I was like, this is just mind-blowing. I was listening to it on the bus, and I just didn't want to be on the bus. I wanted to be like in a field, in a field, losing my goddamn mind to it because it was just it's just perfect, and I thought there's no reason why I can't find more stuff like this. So it's kind of made me think, well, maybe with download, what we should do is kind of build some of that into it. Because, like we've just said, like, if you're listening to the same song, I don't know, let's say, for example, this for lap buy on there, yeah, stuff like that that we already all listen to. There's nothing new there, it's just kind of like okay. Yeah. Whereas when you listen to a new song, you obviously form a new memory with it. Yeah, so forming it downloads quite a cool way to do it with a new song, so I think that's quite a good idea as well. Nice. Um you loaded up your TMU earlier, so I think you've been looking at lots of other shit.

SPEAKER_00 30:22

Yeah, I I mean the Hilton tent.

SPEAKER_02 30:27

Um so the Hilton tent for context is Damon's tent that's basically for what is it, 12 people?

SPEAKER_00 30:34

It no, it was in it was like a five-man I had. But I am looking at a new tent which is eight people.

SPEAKER_01 30:41

Fuck me.

SPEAKER_00 30:42

Which um it's a pop-up tent, so it's a lot easier. You just open it like an umbrella.

SPEAKER_02 30:49

Yeah, but it's from Team though, so yeah, but look at this.

SPEAKER_00 30:56

That is pretty sick. It is, it's a black tent as well.

SPEAKER_02 31:00

It is, however, there are gonna be multiple couples this year. So there's gonna be me and Nikki, there's gonna be Fred and Kel and Dingo and Talia.

SPEAKER_00 31:09

Yeah, I'm I'm looking to some kind of download loving myself.

SPEAKER_02 31:17

Well, there you go. There you have it, ladies. There's your uh endorsement right there. Find the flag with the pizza time, the skeleton with the pizza tie.

SPEAKER_00 31:26

Keep an eye out for the Hilton flag.

SPEAKER_02 31:28

Yeah, because we're gonna we're gonna deck the shit out of our camps like we've just flagged galore. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 31:33

Uh how many legs does your gazebo have? Uh that's a very good question. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, eight. Yeah, eight. Eight, yeah. Yeah, octagon. Right. There's a wrestling match in there.

SPEAKER_02 31:51

Dependent on whether maybe oily or not.

SPEAKER_00 31:54

Yeah. Oh, yeah, should we bring up a little uh blob uh ball pit and fill it with either download mud or uh piss.

SPEAKER_02 32:05

I think they're the same thing, aren't they?

SPEAKER_00 32:08

Yeah, they're yeah the same thing, technically, yeah. Um and let someone have a a mighty old ruckus. Um yeah, uh I've been looking at a couple of things that I definitely want to upgrade my download experience. This time, instead of just taking a standard camping chair, yeah, which mine was actually quite tall, for what it is, so it's like hearsing the undersize of my legs. So this time I'm getting a reclining one with a footstool. Okay, yeah. But you've got to carry that in. It it folds up to the same level as a normal that'll be me.

SPEAKER_02 32:59

Right, you've reminded you've reminded me, right?

SPEAKER_00 33:02

That is me right there in this. That actually is very sat back with his glasses on, high as a kite.

SPEAKER_02 33:11

Yeah, he's very clearly high. Loving it, loving life. What hang on a minute, go back a picture. Why the fuck is he sitting inside on the damn thing gets so full man? Maybe they've just moved. But hang on, he's got all the fucking furniture in the background. Why would you bump back man not on?

SPEAKER_00 33:27

First off, it's a lady. Is it? It is.

SPEAKER_02 33:32

Oh god, sorry, love. Um it's a bit like MJ to be fair.

SPEAKER_00 33:38

Maybe it's an office. Maybe she wanted somewhere to lie down. Beer. It's not too bad. Look at that. That's that's the bag. It's yeah, but you've got to think. You've got to go from black camp all the way up. It's yeah, but mine mine was like that before, so I've reduced the height and added luxury. That is the uh the fair point.

SPEAKER_02 34:02

To be fair, what I'm gonna do with ours is just reinforce the stitching on it. Oh yeah. Because I used the broken one.

SPEAKER_00 34:11

You went through it onto your ass?

SPEAKER_02 34:14

No, no, no. I used it when uh at work had like a late day.

SPEAKER_00 34:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 34:21

Which was back in July? July, early early August, sorry. Um, yeah, it was just after Nikki's birthday, just before mine. Um yeah, so went out with it then and bought one of the old ones from the year before.

SPEAKER_03 34:40

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_02 34:41

Which I didn't know until I opened up was mouldy as fuck. Nice. But Jason sat in it anyway. My what I call it didn't give a shit, he's just like I don't care.

SPEAKER_00 34:49

That's just flavour.

SPEAKER_02 34:50

Yeah. Um but that's all I'm gonna do is just reinforce them because that they're not broken, you know, like the arms haven't come off or whatever. As soon as that does, then they're fucked. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 35:03

Because I ain't sitting on some of the bank going all Yeah, it's just a superficial thing that he's repairing.

SPEAKER_02 35:09

So I mean, plus I don't smoke now anymore. Yeah, been two months clear of congratulations, fags, thanks, mate, and no vaping either. So um oof. Yeah, pretty much over it now. What are you oofing at? What have you seen?

SPEAKER_00 35:27

Oh um my next must bring to download.

SPEAKER_02 35:32

What is it? Oh, for Christ's sake, why literally that was the most appropriate comment I could make.

SPEAKER_00 35:42

On Timu, they have a 500-piece Jesus cartoon style vinyl sticker roll for £1.48. What an absolute bargain. I'm thinking you're on in the toilet, just put it on the door and put it.

SPEAKER_02 35:57

I'm watching you.

SPEAKER_00 35:58

That one I'm just leaning around the corner. Oh god, that'd be hilarious. Um yeah, and I got £500. So uh I I think I have enough for every single toilet.

SPEAKER_02 36:13

Please do that. There was just like leaning through, sort of like having a poop, aren't we?

SPEAKER_00 36:18

Yeah. What are you doing with your tackle? Good sir. Oh yeah. This year that I am definitely getting a raincoat.

SPEAKER_02 36:26

Yeah, do that. That's that's nice. Do that.

SPEAKER_00 36:29

I have why is it French? Uh that's just the colour. I don't know why. You must must have surrendered somewhere. Um, but this is really cool because look at this, it's got a clear section on the front.

SPEAKER_03 36:44

Oh shit!

SPEAKER_00 36:45

So you can use your phone while you sat down dry. That's fucking stick. It it it just does. You what you need it to just keep your hands warm because it's inside.

SPEAKER_02 36:59

Holy crap, alright, fair enough. That's that's a that's another level of alright, fair play.

SPEAKER_00 37:08

Just too bad about the French flag.

SPEAKER_02 37:11

Yeah, well, if you cover it with another flag. We're gonna have plenty of 'em, so.

SPEAKER_00 37:16

Yeah, yeah. I can just put Jesus on it. Put Christ. French needs Jesus. Put Christ. Yeah. And then the other thing is I'm gonna get one of those uh fishing carts.

SPEAKER_02 37:32

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 37:33

A lot of threads in the Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's got a giant wheel. Is it single wheeled or double wheeled? Single, it's like a wheelbarrow. Yeah. I'll prefer something with two wheels. At least I've got the sideways.

SPEAKER_02 37:45

Yeah, but it's gonna get stuck then, isn't it?

SPEAKER_00 37:47

But it's got giant wheels that go round.

SPEAKER_02 37:49

Should we just put it down then? Hopefully, hopefully, right. It's not as shit as it was last year, because last year was brown. Well, yeah, it was shit, quite literally.

SPEAKER_00 38:04

So it was alright the first day and a half.

SPEAKER_02 38:06

Well, it was, and then it just I was sat in the grass, it was lovely. Yeah, and then it just fucking fell off a cliff.

SPEAKER_00 38:11

Then someone had diarrhea and it fell up, all all the toilets exploded and covered the field.

SPEAKER_02 38:17

Pissed everywhere and just ruined it.

SPEAKER_00 38:19

But I reckon if I cover everything in Jesus, we'll we'll be good. And you'll hold off the ring.

SPEAKER_02 38:26

It'll be holy grand, but it will be holy grand, it'll be sanctified.

SPEAKER_00 38:30

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_03 38:32

But if the headlining sanctified, it's just imagine but no down from heaven the G Lore Praise and the Glory.

SPEAKER_00 38:50

Oh, Fred Livia's people.

SPEAKER_02 38:53

Oh fucking Christ, but yeah, um well to be fair, I fucked up. Okay. I fucked up the other day. Nikki doesn't know this yet, so this is a podcast first.

SPEAKER_00 39:04

Worse than burning the TV.

SPEAKER_02 39:07

That was Nikki's fault, not mine. I was I had nothing to do with burning my TV. Nikki did that, not me. What I did though. Yep. I was sorting the garage out the other day. Yeah. And we have like a pile of download stuff.

SPEAKER_00 39:24

You threw it away.

SPEAKER_02 39:26

No, and on the top of the pile of download stuff, there is the airbed.

SPEAKER_00 39:30

Oh no. The new one or the new one.

SPEAKER_02 39:35

The new one. God knows where the one with the hole in it was, but the new one. I proceeded to move this and didn't realise that it got caught on the ironing board, the little curly bit that you put the cable through. It's supposed to have like a soft bit on the end, it didn't have the hole. I don't know where that's gone. Okay, yeah. And it went straight through the fucking head. That's fine. Straight through the fucking Jesus sticker on it. Yeah. It's fucked, mate. There's no recovering that. I can see you thinking it's fucked.

SPEAKER_00 40:12

Bike repair kit.

SPEAKER_02 40:15

Mate, even Jesus can't repair that thing. It's beyond help at this point. Flex tape. Maybe. Do you think I need Phil to come and do it? Yeah, Phil Swift. Yeah, just get him to come and go, I fucking fixed your bed.

SPEAKER_00 40:33

I sliced his bed in half. And then fixed it with Cum.

SPEAKER_02 40:41

Do you reckon they get him to come into surgeries and just slap some flax tape on somebody? Like somebody's having open heart surgery and he goes, and then that's it, it's just fixed. Yeah. Just goes fixed it all.

SPEAKER_00 40:54

Fucking hell. Oh man. Um you need a new one?

SPEAKER_02 41:00

Yeah, other than a new airbed, we're gonna get another tent as well.

SPEAKER_00 41:04

You're gonna get a taller tent, because you can have an airbed like mine.

SPEAKER_02 41:07

Yes, we're gonna be buying a eight-man octagonal.

SPEAKER_00 41:11

Oh yes, yes, I'm gonna be saying We're gonna buy a big boy. That's that's technically similar.

SPEAKER_02 41:16

Yeah, yeah, it's similar to that. We're gonna buy cones on there. I think it's £180, I'm gonna say.

SPEAKER_00 41:23

Yeah. So this I found this this this black tent here because oh yeah, there's the corn added ash shoes.

SPEAKER_02 41:34

That's giving up.

SPEAKER_00 41:36

Yeah, man. Nice. That looks sick. But anyway, um I was on Ali Ali Alibar. Yeah. Alibaba. And on here have I spotted right. I'm on the fucking wrong fucking side, yeah. Alibaba. So on Alibaba, you can search for what's that? Um Black Dog.

SPEAKER_02 42:09

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 42:11

Um if you look at black dog camping stuff, their tent and they even have a blow-up sofa. Um black dog. Black dog.

SPEAKER_02 42:25

Are you on our internet by the way? Because it's just very slow.

SPEAKER_00 42:28

Homophorgy.

SPEAKER_02 42:30

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 42:31

Um I've been on it for a long time.

SPEAKER_02 42:35

Yeah, because we used our sky before and then they started robbing us.

SPEAKER_00 42:39

So I I'd be looking at this thing. Yeah. Which is technically two tents in one. Because you can divide it down the middle. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 42:55

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 42:56

And that 300 on Alibar. Yeah. Um that's currently a five plus person tent. But I reckon you get like 12 in there.

SPEAKER_02 43:12

Get yourself on my internet. I've just sent you the fucking code. Cool. Alright. Got ya, got ya. So, but yeah, um, I don't know, like Chris might be coming. Has he got a ticket yet? I don't know. I think he he waits till the headlines have been announced. Oh, you're gonna have to pay more.

SPEAKER_00 43:38

Why don't you just buy it now and just sell it now if you don't want to get it?

SPEAKER_02 43:41

To be fair though, Chris has gone probably more than Fred has. Oh. Like, Chris is the most seasoned downloader I know.

SPEAKER_01 43:51

Hmm.

SPEAKER_00 43:52

I I uh I splurged on my download tickets.

SPEAKER_02 43:56

I brought everything. I saw. So I did that before and we didn't get it. We went to collect it in twenty twenty three and we didn't get it. It was just like, oh, we don't have it. It was like, oh.

SPEAKER_00 44:07

So you have to go there and collect it?

SPEAKER_02 44:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 44:09

What the fuck?

SPEAKER_02 44:11

Yeah. The one that we had, it was supposed to be delivered, but they didn't deliver it. And then we questioned it. I was like, oh, you can go pick it up when you're on site. And then we saw the queue, thought, fuck that. Then went to do the queue, got in the queue, and then they were like, oh, it's not the same thing. I was like, oh, excellent.

SPEAKER_00 44:29

Yeah, because I'll I've I've I've got the the thingy, the lanyard. Lanyard thing, yeah. Yeah. So I'd I know that I'd have to click that there.

SPEAKER_02 44:39

Yeah, you click that there, you'd be the same for the other thing, I'd imagine. Is it a t-shirt or a hoodie?

SPEAKER_00 44:44

T-shirt and hoodie. Okay. I brought both.

SPEAKER_02 44:47

See, this is why I didn't bother, because when you go there, you can just buy them on site. I'd rather just go get it.

SPEAKER_00 44:52

Isn't the ones that you buy online different? They're more an exclusive t-shirt.

SPEAKER_02 45:00

Yes and no. You can find them at the festival. So if you go, you know the big tap shop. Yeah. If you go in there.

SPEAKER_00 45:08

The pool table one. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 45:10

Yeah. Maybe not this year, but next year, they do tend to sell off the ship from the previous year. So if you get in there early, you can't sometimes find it. Or if you go on the download website, if there was some merch that you wanted and couldn't get, anything that's left over, they'll sell off. So right now, if you wanted something from this year's one and you wanted to buy, I don't know, somebody a download hoodie and or a dog candle for download, you could do that if you wanted to. Um not giving away ideas for Christmas presents, but uh yeah. Speaking of which, I know my secret Santa is from work. So nice.

SPEAKER_00 45:54

So we don't usually do secret Santa's. No, we we usually get the people from other companies sending us crap. Like chocolates and crap. Tat. Some stuff's alright. And then it just goes into a raffle.

SPEAKER_02 46:10

Fair enough. I am gonna have to let one of the cats in. I'll do that since you're in a yeah, I'm in a bit of a precarious spot. Because he's he's screwing his little head off. Oh god, they're both in here.

SPEAKER_00 46:26

Oh man. So yeah, that is a couple of the items I'm looking at. Um, and also I was thinking about getting a rug for my tent. A rug? Yeah, I think about making it a little bit more homely, might get some candles.

SPEAKER_02 46:41

To be fair, I don't know if I do that in the tent.

SPEAKER_00 46:44

Chandelier.

SPEAKER_02 46:44

To be fair, the rug. Might be onto something there. I was I was thinking of something like that for ours because it'll add warmth. The problem was, and I always find this with camping, it's great when you first get there and you think, yeah, you know, I'm camping, it's all gonna be fun. But the problem then is that when it's like the third day and you're kind of halfway through it, you think, fuck, I wish I had that thing. It's just it's normally something small. Like for me, last year, what would have been great is if I had like a toothbrush holder, like you know, something that you put it in. Yeah, yeah. Well, this is the thing, I didn't think about it though, because I thought that would be great to have that. And it didn't clo- I didn't clock this until the other day. I was thinking, yeah, that's a thing actually. You you you go and you think, oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00 47:41

Who brushes their teeth at festivals?

SPEAKER_02 47:43

Well, I do. I don't like the feeling of like clammy taste I cast all the time. No, if you want that and just put your face in the mud, you'll be fine then.

SPEAKER_00 47:53

I'll just do I did brush your teeth and beer.

SPEAKER_02 47:55

Oh, I did that as well. No, I didn't and and something else as well.

SPEAKER_00 48:00

I didn't you I didn't do beer actually, I did um liquid death.

SPEAKER_02 48:05

Yeah, I did that as well.

SPEAKER_00 48:06

Yeah, lime flavour.

SPEAKER_02 48:08

But uh zesty. Can you pass me a little gin bottle and one of those dash?

SPEAKER_00 48:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 48:20

But uh yeah, it was just little things like that that I kind of would have liked, really, that were just sort of not really sorry, I'm just stopping because one of the caps is like nose, don't touch that cable. Bapping the cable. Um I did that, Hank. Um but yeah. You sort of end up missing the little things that you didn't think you would. Like that, like the toothbrush holder, there's a couple of other things I can't remember what they were off the top of my head now.

SPEAKER_00 49:01

A washing up bowl.

SPEAKER_02 49:03

Oh god, yeah. Right. Me and Nikki are gonna do a little you need like a collapsible one or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But we're gonna do some noodles that we do, right? And we're gonna do them for the campsite. So what we've suggested is, and we were gonna put it to you guys, is that each of us brings or buys a meal while we're there for the rest of the camp. Now, ours is gonna be something that we do, we did do it a lot more when we lived at the flat, but we've done it a couple times while we've been here. And essentially what it is, is it's noodles. But you know the fake American cheese? Yeah. Double cream. You get your double cream and your fake American cheese and make like a cheese sauce. Do you have a diet version? No, the diet version is you don't eat. That's the diet version of this. Um and you're all having a soup. Yes. And you put sriracha in there, yeah, and you boil your noodles, you put your noodles in there with it. So you're making like a mac and cheese kind of thing. Yeah, but with noodles. Okay. And it absolutely slaps. Like, I'm not kidding. It's probably one of the nicest things you can cook, and it only takes about five minutes to cook. Okay. And you eat it, it fills you up, and then you don't want anything else then for quite a few hours. So it's definitely worth trying. Yeah. I'll just have a think of what I can do. Because we thought it'd be it'd be kind of a nice thing where it's like, you know, we're all bringing something to the table, literally. So um yeah. I mean, I could do um a stew.

SPEAKER_00 50:54

What at download? Yeah, I mean I could pre-cook the stew in a slow cooker and we've just got to heat it up.

SPEAKER_02 51:01

That's true, I suppose. But are you gonna keep it fresh? It'd have to be the first thing we eat.

SPEAKER_00 51:05

Yeah, I could freeze it.

SPEAKER_02 51:07

Because the good thing about those noodles is the only issue would be the double cream, but I'm pretty sure you could buy that from the co-op. Probably.

SPEAKER_00 51:15

Yeah, I think the cream would be alright, it'll give you a couple of days.

SPEAKER_02 51:18

Um true, but if it's like it was in 2023, it's gonna be like a fucking block of ham by the time it's it's like the second day in because it was pretty uh pretty fucking hot. Um but yeah, uh I'm trying to think what we haven't covered, no. Um I think we've pretty much covered most things.

SPEAKER_00 51:46

I am still gonna bring my crocs.

SPEAKER_02 51:50

Oh god, croc gay.

SPEAKER_00 51:52

Um, but with reinforcements, I'm gonna bring those ice things, those ice spikes that you can strap onto your shoes.

SPEAKER_02 52:01

Oh, the the non-slip things. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 52:05

Because I had no grip, my socks were fine, I was not wet, I did not my socks were clean, no mud got on them. I just slipped all that slipping all over the place. So fix that issue, crocs are good.

SPEAKER_02 52:18

Well, to be fair, I probably will be joining you on the Crocs because I've asked Nikki very nicely for a pair for Christmas. Nice. Um and one of the things that I'm doing for Christmas for her, which again relates back to the new hobby, so I'm not gonna say I'm gonna do it for anybody else because I'm not at the moment, apart from myself. I'm gonna make Nikki a custom wooden Harry Potter one. Nice with a bunch of tools that I've bought, so chisels, Dremels, all that shit. So got all that kit. So that's what I'm gonna make in a little wooden box for it to go in. Nice. Um, but we'll see. I might do it once and go, you know what, fuck this, it's too much effort. But then again, with how quickly you can churn them out, and I do have a lot of ideas for ones. So yeah. Well, I did used to wood whittle them as a kid with a pen knife. Um so you know, but anyway, I digress and Ollie's gone absolutely mental. Jesus Christ. But yeah, um trying to think what else there is to talk about now, really.

SPEAKER_00 53:42

Um at first thing in the morning when they're just being cleaned. That is a tip from me.

SPEAKER_02 53:51

I think you've said that one before, but fair enough. It's still valid. It's that important, it needs to be said twice.

SPEAKER_00 53:57

Yeah. Because sometimes I I mean I've been in them toilets, and there's just a big giant pile of shit on the seat. And I don't know why. I mean the hot the ring was there, the bottom of the pit was there, and he went nah. To be fair, my piece of advice is you shat like a storm stormtrooper, basically.

SPEAKER_02 54:23

My piece of advice is shit in the bowl, not on the lid, I fired it, I'm missed.

SPEAKER_00 54:32

Or shit in a bag.

SPEAKER_02 54:34

Do a thread. Um no. My my piece of advice is drink water in the morning. A lot of it. Even if you don't think you need it, just drink it because you will need it at some point during the day. And if you don't, you'll hate yourself if you don't.

SPEAKER_00 54:52

So coffee is also very nice, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 54:56

But also water, but water is better, um, but yeah. Um yeah, I mean I think we're pretty much there now, aren't we? In terms of the the podcast itself, conversation wise. I think we've touched on all main points. Yeah. Um and yeah, I guess uh I guess we'll catch you in the next one.

SPEAKER_00 55:24

Mm-hmm. Which will probably probably be the release of download.

SPEAKER_02 55:30

It'll be next we'll probably do one next week. Um Okay, yeah. Because obviously it's right before download. Yeah. But we'll probably discuss something not download related.

SPEAKER_00 55:41

You've got to get right on them edits quick liquidity split.

SPEAKER_02 55:45

Yeah, don't you worry. I'm gonna literally on the day that download announces it, I'm putting that episode up that day.

SPEAKER_00 55:51

Cool. So you're not gonna get a nice uh load of episodes in uh yeah, quick fashion. Yeah, in quick fashion.

SPEAKER_02 55:59

So you better not get bored of our voices because you're gonna be hearing a lot of us in the next couple of weeks. So yeah, it's gonna be kind of one of them where you'll go, oh, they disappeared, they're not doing it anymore. Oh fuck, actually, they've done quite a lot of crap.

SPEAKER_00 56:13

You have set up the Discord, haven't you?

SPEAKER_02 56:15

Yes, that was another thing. We have a Discord, the link to said Discord will be in the bottom of the description of this video on Spotify and all other streaming platforms that are available.

SPEAKER_00 56:28

Yeah, so join us and let me know what I should cook at the at the campsite.

SPEAKER_02 56:34

Exactly. Give him some ideas, um, give me some creature comfort ideas that I've probably forgotten about.

SPEAKER_00 56:40

And if you find any cheap, lightweight, five-star hotel-s camping items, let me know. You heard it from the man here, and we also would like to see your flag submissions.

SPEAKER_02 56:52

Yes, flag submissions would be excellent because then we can find you. Yeah, and we'll put ours in so you can find us. Um basically, it looks like the logo that's on here, but there's like this it's like a grim reaper eating pizza on it. But basically, look for something that looks like melted cheese, and you've pretty much got the idea of what the logo looks like on a black flag.

SPEAKER_00 57:18

That's how I felt in my chair.

SPEAKER_02 57:22

We all did to be fair, but the Discord is up. We also have a TikTok as well. Okay, yeah. Um, if you would like to go follow that. At the moment, there's not really a fat lot on there because it's just mostly clips from these episodes. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 57:37

Um but if we start doing reactions, I could uh reactions and things.

I mean, we've got a lot of stuff planned for this podcast, like different sections and stuff. It's just kind of getting around to doing one, getting round to doing them, and two, seeing if you guys actually give a shit about them or not, because we could do them and they're either really funny or we could do them and they're really shit and awkward, and nobody really likes them, so it's kind of like do we want to tweak the format? Hello, child. Do we want to tweak the format to reflect those changes, or do we just want to keep it as us talking? So join the Discord, let us know what you think, yeah, and I guess we'll see you in the next one. There we go.
