The following podcast is intended for mature audiences. Discretion is advised. We are two idiots, so please take everything we say with a pinch of salt. Hello and welcome back to Picture Time Podcast. It's been quite a long time this time. A very long time, in fact. As uh life has got in the way as it often does. So um I'm here again with Damon. Yep. And I'm here with lovely wife. Hello. So yeah, it's it's been a while. It's been a while. So how are we all doing? Yes. Yes. Time. Oh. Snacks. Damon's helping himself to some chockey. Chalky. I'll try and reduce that in post. Go over there. Reduce that in post. I'll have to. Fucking goofy bogart man. Um yeah, life. So I think the last episode we recorded of this would have been the download review, which still hasn't gone out yet. No. Um wow. Um so yeah, just life, work's been busy, life's been throwing curve balls. Yeah. Um balls. Last time I did this, I'm still getting driving lessons and double test. You were, yeah. Which I failed. Well. Um YOLO. Womp womp. Womp womp indeed. Um yeah. Damon? Mm-hmm. What's been going on with you then, mate? Um yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Working. Um been to a couple of uh events. We work. And uh recently gone to Turkey. We have indeed. And now I'm back. What about you, wife? Um just life. Working, living, having breakdowns, yeah, just life really. Nothing nothing too exciting for me, unfortunately. The only other thing I can bring up that's happened in this time, oh Ted, um, is that I went to the back to the beginning gig because we haven't done an episode on that yet. Have we not? No, no, you haven't! So we'll have to do one on that. Um, I thought you did. No, no, because I was gonna get my mum on. You were, yeah. Do it as well. And I think enough time's past now where she'll be okay enough to talk about it. Um the other thing that we've done recently was for our second wedding anniversary we went to see Megadeth and Disturbed. We did. Which I will talk about, but um First I would like to know what's gone on with Damon's holiday in Turkey because he's alluded to something, but he's not actually told us what's gone on. So do you want to start from the start? Nah, it's not that good. Oh no, go on, mate. Don't do this to us! Tell us tell us about your holiday. How did it how did it come about? How did it start? Go on, go off. Well, apart from just a download, I've not been I've not had any holiday. So I wanted a new an old cheap holiday. And the that's where Turkey popped in. I've done Spain, so uh I got rid of that. Never been to Turkey, so I thought we'll give it a go. And I will not be going back. Okay. So let's start from the beginning then so you obviously left here. Gone to Turkey. Where were you staying? Um hotel. What was the hotel called and where was it? Well, flew into Alanya, got the hire car. That was fun. I had to give uh I had to WhatsApp the guy a picture of my driving licence and passport. Right. So, yeah, that dodgy there, yeah. Then I had to get cash out to pay the guy in cash for the car. It was a little white shitty Clio. It sounded like a diesel, but it was actually petrol. It done uh 600,000 miles. Jesus! Yeah. Fucking hell. Zero to 60 in like 40 something seconds. Oh my gosh! You should have seen it at the lights. Fucking hell mate, I'd have been able to take 50 pictures of it by the time I'd fucking move for the sounds of it. Um so yeah, managed to get the car, drove an hour and a half at 2 o'clock in the morning to um Alanya. Yeah, Alanya. And Talia is where I landed. Alanya's just down the coast. Um got to the hotel about three o'clock in the morning. Everywhere was closed, so you couldn't get no drinks or anything. So that that was great. Um, not room's been room's nice, it's just been freshly redecorated. You can smell the uh wallpaper paste. Um yeah, no, that was nice. I had the double bed, of course. Um asked me, did you want a do you want a smoking room or a non non-smoking room? I was I was like I'll have a non-smoking room. Because I reckon the uh the smoking rooms smell nice uh stale pong. So and then it turns out you can smoke on the balcony anyway, so even better. Um the morning, went in for breakfast. Everything was a bit dodgy. I ate some of it. I was alright. I then pr then uh 10 o'clock came around, so I uh hit the bar. Nice. I had about 12 points. Fucking hell. Uh then went for dinner. Fucking home man. Had 12 more points. Then I had you know a couple to go go down with me me meal, which uh consisted of salad and mystery meat. Mystery meat? Yep. Right. Nothing's labelled on this syrup or fan. The fuck? Okay. There was some chicken wings in some kind of like sauce. They were alright. Then he had this mystery meat, which could have been could have been a vegetarian option, not a clue. It tasted like uh Cumberland sausage mixed with faggots. Jesus, dude. And haggis. So yeah, that that was um it tasted alright, it was it was quite herby in there. Not clear what it was. Next day, breakfast again, it was the exact same. I was like, great. This is gonna get boring. And then some guy comes over to us saying, Oh, I've got a restaurant. Why don't you come to my restaurant? I'll I'll send a taxi. And uh it was nice, I had a good steak. Um I of course uh had another ten to twelve pints that that morning. Standard, mate. You're an holiday, you're allowed. Then uh I got there, had two more beers, and then uh then we ordered the food. And it's really nice steak, it cooks right there on the street. Um and then uh I had a bottle of white wine to start, and then uh two bottles red for dessert. Fucking hell. Jesus Christ. Pickled. Yeah. Pickled I wasn't even drunk. Fuck hell. Oh no? How? Uh most people would have been in the gut are going, at that point. Oh, probably. Then I was like, you know what, I'm stuffed. We have a little walk on back to the hotel, because it's a 15-20-minute walk. The guy then goes, Oh, uh, what you want to do? You wanna go shopping? Oh follow me, my brother's got a shop. So we looked right into his brother's shop. We then picked up a load of clothes, come to 600 euros. I was like, nah, mate. Then somehow it would come down to 200 euros. And I still weren't happy, so I put some at the back and I paid some like 125. But I've got some nice tops, nice jeans. Yeah. Um I met his girl the first night and uh he gave me a free pair of boxes and some socks because I brought three t-shirts for 10 quid. Yeah. Okay. Um, yeah, so then then my mate goes to a shop who is next door and it's his other brother's shop. Right, I'm seeing a partner. Oh yeah. Mm-hmm. Oh, oh back back to the clothes shop. I'm in there, the guy who brought us starts lights a cigarette in the back of this shop. Looks like JJ Sports. That kind of feel. And he looked, I went, you can't smoke that in here, Rindoors. He goes, it don't matter, it's our shop. And he goes, You want you want one? Oh, so he likes me his cigarette as well? In the back of this shop, wearing all his clothes that he's trying to sell. So they go smell smell a lot of fans, didn't they? Jesus. And then his um his nephew, his seven-year-old nephew, um, he goes, he goes, ask me, do you want a beer? I was like, Oh, I'll have a beer. I'll have a beer, why not? So he sends his seven-year-old little nephew to go and get uh an ashtray of beer from the shop. What the fuck? Okay. So there I am, having a smoke on the sofa in the back of this clothes shop with a beer, sitting back, watching my mate Pig get some clothes. Living the dream. Still uh still spent a lot of money, and then after that, we went to his other brother's shop to get some wine and stuff. So we've got a bottle of red, bottle of white, carrying them these bags out and the handles ripped halfway, so and then we all needed a piss, and there was no head to piss. Um my mate went to the a little spot, but in the morning we realised it was like a a surveillance place. Oh my god! So we walked past there quickly the next day. I managed to find uh a toilet, but it was closed. Great, so then walked onto the beach, and then walking along, I'm like, I can have a piss in the sea. Gotta have a piss in the sea, it's the law. And um I'm walking along all these um sun beds, I can hear I can hear someone shouting, and there's a security guard saying, You can't get out up there. I'm like, I don't need to get out, I've just whipped my dick out and have a piss. And then I'm like, I can't have a piss in front of it, it's a Muslim country, you don't know what that's gonna happen to you. So then I find a bin. So I go behind the bin, and there's people walking past on there, my hand up on my eyebrows, pretending like I'm looking out onto the sea. Good, good shape. Whilst your hand is on your cock, taking a piss. No, I can now hand it. Oh fuck it up. Um Jesus. But yeah, that was great. Then then we get to the good part. Go on, right. This is the bit we've been waiting for. All morning, I'm feeling really bloated. I'm like, that steak's probably kept me full. Which I think it did. Um, and then decided we'll go out, we'll go and have a drink or whatever at this little reggae bar around the corner. We'll sat there, I'm like, I can't drink. I'm done, I can't drink anymore. And uh so have a coke. I'm feeling disgusting. And I'm just my mate's there, there's someone smoking behind me, I'm thinking, that stinks. I don't know what's going on there. My b my body's just changed. I was like, oh, I was gonna throw up. I felt like I was gonna throw up. I was like, if I have a little throw up, I'll feel better. So we then finish that, we're walking away, I go to this little park on the corner, and there's all these cunt uh these regional flags for Turkey. Right. So reading them, and then suddenly it kicks off on there, projectile vomiting, almost hit a pigeon. Oh my god. Fucking hell. Oh, it was it was a good three to four footing hell man. It was it was a good distance. Um and then a fetal tour. And that that was just the beginning. After that, uh I then walked to the beach and a little little throw-up on that one as well. Fucking hell. I was like, oh, it'll pass soon. Someone's upset me somewhere, so you know. So then I'm walking past this corn place, and there's lots of corn on the side of the road, you'd smell the butter and then whoa, I could eat that. But I also wasn't hungry at all. And then um and then explosive diarrhea come. Jesus Christ, dude. No, which then stunk that bad that it made you throw up again. Oh no. Oh no. Yeah. I'm like, what's going on here? It must have been this dodgy dodgy meat of it. And Mike said the same stuff and he's not he's not feeling in at all. I was like, what's going on? Not a clue. And then uh that that went on from 6 pm till about 6am. Fuck. In and out, in and out. Went through two rolls of toilet paper like an hour. Jesus. Only two? Yeah. Fucking hell. Yeah. Yeah. Um so yeah, that was alright, and then uh couldn't uh in the morning, didn't eat anything again. My mate said, eat some bread or something, couldn't even stomach it. Strolling through Facebook, looked at food stuff, and oh, it was gonna throw up. It put me off. I couldn't even look I brought a lot of cigarettes to like chill out on the balcony with, couldn't touch them. Just the thought of them made me feel really sick. Oh god. And then yeah, so day three, I still haven't eaten. I'm still pissing out my ass. Piss, piss coming out of my ass. Yeah. Um and then eventually it slows down. Right. After um I started um vomiting up my uh stomach lining. Oh my god. Fucking hell, dude. Great, innit? And and some I'm still throwing up, but even though I've drink drink some water, I'd throw it up. So that ain't good. So uh I went to the pharmacy, got a rehydration thing. Yeah. So just kept sipping on that. And eventually I was alright, but since then I've I haven't been able to drink beer. Fucking hell. I've been able to go one or two, and that's that's pushing it. So yeah. You don't need Manjaro. Turkish flu. Fucking hell, man. Put puts you straight. Fucking hell. If you want to quit smoking, drinking cold turkey, go turkey. Go to Turkey. Fucking hell, man. That's wild. Yep. Do you think it was the food you ate? Oh I don't know. My friend now currently has it. It kicked in the day after we come home. The fuck? Fucking hell. Oh yeah. It's weird, isn't it? That is weird. Why did he have such a delayed reaction and yours was like straight away? I don't know. I think it could be all the beers, the bottle of the bottles of water. Oh, we wouldn't both drunk now. Oh, okay. Oh, when I sorry about the the bag handle's ripping. Um when we got back, we realised someone's dropped a bag and the white wine has now gone all over the new clothes I've just brought. Luckily, luckily, all the clothes were black and it wasn't a red wine. Yeah. Yeah. Fucking hell man. Jesus Christ. Yeah. That is wild. Oh really smell bad. I can imagine you're probably just smelling ass and vomit. Oh no. My friend got ill two days before we flew home. Because he shut the bed. Oh my God! Sneaky little fat. Shit everywhere. Fuck us just in the center. Fucking out. We have two um Oh my god, did you not get the clean off? Breathe. Leaving the room. No and again the next day you shut the bed. Oh my god. Oh fuck it up. Oh fucking hell. I bet she wasn't that bad. I bet she locked an app when I do not get paid enough for this. Oh, my god. Oh my god. Jesus Christ! Oh no. Yeah. Oh yeah. Fucking hell. So yeah. I think he knows who the culprit was. Oh fucking hell. Mm-hmm. Just look at him like you dirty bastard. Oh my god. Yeah. Oh. Wow. That's the best story you've ever told on your podcast. Oh man. That is so funny. Oh my god. So other than shitting and sicking yourselves, you had a good time then. Yeah. Beaching that was nice. Oh. Just don't trust the food. I even tried the Mackeys. No. No? There's like no seasoning, there was like no onion. I had a double cheeseburger. There was just it lacked everything. Fucking hell. It tasted healthy. Jesus. Yeah, that's not what you want from a McDonald's. You want to know you're getting heart failure from it. Yeah, to be fair. Fucking hell. Noise. So yeah. Fucking hell. Did your friend say he he wouldn't go back either? Or is he awful going back again? He would go back, just not there. He said that um he would go to Istanbul. Ah, okay. I even when I was driving back to the airport because I had a hire car, it was um just uh a truck with a little thing, little little barrier in the back with like seven women in it. What? Fucking hell. With their um a scarf and shit jobs. Yeah, whatever you call it. Apparently they're the uh the workers on the farm. Fucking hell. Okay. So how long were you there for? Um we booked eight nights. Yeah. Because it was the same price as seven. Oh, okay. We just get to fly early. We still miss that first day anyway, but we don't get to the hotel to the uh three o'clock in the morning. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it was wild. I was half expecting you to come back with like turkey teeth. Maybe some surgery or some shit. Well, you know, um I was looking for people with bandages on their head and stuff. I didn't see a single one. There was um, we I did send send you the voice uh recordings for this. Uh Ryan and his missus having uh a rail. Oh yeah, god for three nights. Jesus, oh yeah, I remember hearing that. I thought one of them was gonna kill the other one, it was that bad. How what? Yeah. Yeah, it was this couple having a rail on there, just like voice notes like proper going through with each other. Jesus Christ. Oh yeah. So uh it was great that I found out that they were on my uh on my flight. But uh I thought we'd have to have an emergency landing or get them kicked off or something, but they were quite subdued. Fucking hell. Jesus Christ. But they were definitely drunk about an hour before the coach picked them up. Of course. So uh definitely had the uh breath of the dog. Fucking hell. Oh my god. Yeah. Okay. Wild. If you haven't been, go. But you know, expect to probably shit the bed. I can't fucking Jesus fucking. You never know why hotels have white shets. No, I don't stop that either. I d I I don't get that either. I think it's because they're cheaper. Maybe yeah, especially if you shoot them at the time. I was gonna say it sounds like we need to refill the fucking room after you go on to bed. It was freshly decorated? Not anymore. Oh I I'll come back with um one pair of boxes. Oh my god. Could be because I just yeah, I do want to put them in the case. No, just bin them. Yeah. Burn them. I left them like oh I'll put them in a bag because I'm I'm nice. But I could have just left them all over the work. Oh my god. Oh my fucking god. Jesus. Scrabble, but it's not raining. Fucking right. It's just gonna be one tiny bit of thread that's not brown that you have to pick it up by. Oh yeah, it's on the underside. As someone who has worked in hotels, I've seen a lot of shit like that. It's not fun. No, it's not fun to deal with at all. Because you do look at yourself in the mirror and just be like, I've got bills to pay. Fucking hell. I mean, while this was all going on, um me and Nikki obviously had our second year wedding anniversary. We did. Um so we had a bit of a fiasco in the morning trying to fucking find somewhere to eat. Because literally we we were like, oh, we'll we'll go for like a brunch or something, you know. As you do. Yeah. Bear in mind this was Monday, Monday morning, and you'd think, oh, okay, places are gonna be open, all this shit. We went to the ballpark. Yeah, down by where Nikki's mum lives. I pulled up in the car park, saw a few cars over, thought, ah, it's gonna be open. And then as we got out of the car, I looked at the front doors and they were shut. And said to Nick, I was like, Is it open? And she was like, Yeah, yeah, yeah, we find it with open. So we walked over, doors are pulled shut, and then this woman comes out from fucking nowhere and goes, Oh, can I help you? And we're like, Yeah, are you open? She was like, No, we don't open until 12. I was like, fuck, right, okay. Which is bullshit, because we've been in there before 12 before. Yeah, we have. On a Sunday. On a Sunday. So it was like a lot of bullshit straight away. So he was like, Well fuck this then. So we went to the Toby Carvery just around the corner. Walked in, and we went, Oh, you doing breakfast? And you went, yeah, for the next like five minutes. Oh, he went, Alright, weren't looked over. The spread was abysmal. There was like fucking two eggs left and like some bacon and that looked like it'd been left out for about five years. And just I just looked at Nikki and went, Do you want to wait here? And she went, Nah. And we just thought, oh well, can we have a lunch then? And she went, That doesn't start getting served till one. And it was just like, fuck's sake. So we just left. I was like, oh, we'll come back in a bit. As we was leaving, I said to Nick, look, we're not going back in a bit of she went, Are we fuck? Are we fuck? So we were sitting in the car listening to Kerrang. And uh I said, why don't we go to the Grazing Chaos? I've never been there before. I said, may as well. So we went there because we saw that it opened at like half eleven. So we just went over there and pooled in. She was like, Oh, we don't start serving food until about 12. Yeah. Which wasn't so bad because it's only half an hour. So we just had a drink, sat there, had a chat for a bit. And then she told me about the discount code, so I popped that in. Um we had like a really nice, decent sized meal. Um really good. Only came for 33 quid. It was, yeah. It was really, really good. No, that's a steal. Um then we came back home, got ready for the gig, mum turned up, went and got Ness, and then headed to Broome. We were in traffic for about how long were we in traffic? It was like an hour and a half. We were literally like standstill traffic from like from the motorway to the town centre. We were like standstill. Yeah. So we're always busy there, isn't it? And I'd like to point out that I when I go to places like gigs or a download or anything like that, I like to leave early enough to take into account traffic. I've I've always been like that. So Ness always takes the piss out of me for it. Because she's like, you always turn up an hour early. I'm like, I'd rather be an hour early than an hour late. So when we were sat in traffic, I just kind of like shot a look at Ness in the rear view, and I was like, and this is why I do it. Because we got there and it was it wasn't pissing down with rain, but it was like spitting. So, and then that's when they opened all the doors, so we were able to just go into the queue and then just go straight in. Luckily, we had seated tickets, so we didn't have to stand for too long, but just like this is why I fucking do it. Yeah, and then obviously we we got in, grabbed a drink. Ness and mum got some food, didn't they? Got some chips, which they hagled down from like 11 quid to like nine. Yeah, and then the dudes that were behind her, behind them said that they paid 11 pounds for theirs, and I was like, fucking hell. Yeah, and then we sat down, um, and then decided we've got a bit of time, so we went for a vape. Yeah. Um, and I kind of looked at the time though shit's nearly seven o'clock, got a feeling Megadeath are gonna come on. So I like race back, which is a good job I did because they literally started like as soon as I sat down, Megadeth came on. Yeah. Um and obviously the the listeners won't know, but Megadeath are actually my favourite band like ever, and I've never seen them live. So seeing them live was like another like bucket list complete, I think. It's like literally I've completed music this year. You have I literally cannot anything outside of this now is just a bonus round to me. Um but fucking hell, like literally Dave's voice sounded amazing, your guitar tone was just incredible, the songs were flawless, there wasn't a single mistake, everything was spot on. The show that they did was quite simplistic because obviously disturbed the headliners. I'll get to their stage set in a minute, but I was just blown away. Like, me and my mum were like nearly crying because like mum's into Megadeth as well, because of me. Um obviously the way that I got into metal was playing an old PS2 game. I was about seven years old, and Devil's Island came on by Megadeth, and I literally remember I put the controller down and just stared at the screen because I couldn't believe what I was listening to. I was like, oh what the fuck is this? I was like, where has this been all my life? All my seven years of experience. Um because it reminded me of Doom. Because I got put on that when I was a little kid as well, like when I was like three or four or whatever. So it brought me back to that. So obviously, as I got older I realised that that was actually thrash metal that they did in MIDI form, so I was like, it wouldn't make sense. So I was always destined to like it, but yeah, honestly incredible. So the set list they did, it started with Skin of My Teeth, then they went into Wake Up Dead, then Angry Again, then they played Hanger 18, which me and my mum were just like blown away by. Then they did Sweatin' Bullets, they did She-Wolf, which is my mum's favourite, one of my mum's favourite songs. Uh they did the new song Tipping Point, which is an absolute banger of a song. Um Tornado of Souls, which is my favourite song. Peace Cells, Symphony of Destruction, and the Close of Holy Wars, but Dave Mustaine made me laugh because he was like, Alright, we've got one song left. This is where we slow things down a little bit. Anyway, okay. And then walked away from the mic and just like dun dun dun dun dun lun. And I was like, oh my god, that's like going straight into this. Nice. Um but yeah, it was it was nuts, honestly, but absolutely incredible they were. Um then we had another break, didn't we? Mm-hmm. When I got another drink. Um and I went and bought myself a t-shirt and then Nikki went and got one. Um and then Disturbed came on. Um so obviously it was the the sickness tour that they were doing, the 2500 year anniversary of that. Because I played the whole of it front to back. Um, obviously, when Dame with the sickness came on, everyone lost a shit. Everyone did. Um and then I very quickly went for a quick pisc after that one finished because I was like, right, if I'm gonna go now's the time to go. Yeah. Um and then yeah, they they f finished with an intermission after that. Um but they did um I think they did Meaning of Life last, didn't they? And then they obviously wheeled him out in this whole like orange jumpsuit with like an electric chair. Oh my god, they electrocuted when he had like blood dripping down his head and he just carried on doing the setting, like standing on the chair and everything. Yeah. Nice. Like the theatre nerd in me was like, oh my god, it was so good. So so fucking good. Then, like I said, they had the intermission after that, and then when they came back, they had this big blow-up thing, like you know, the the guy with the hood and the evil-looking face. They had a massive one of them blow-up in the background, and a lot of fire and stuff going on. And then for the greatest hits they played, I Will Not Break, and they did 10,000 Fists, Badman, Land of Confusion, Indestructible, and then they did the Sound of Silence. Nice. They did the light, and at that point, with the light they were on about Ozzy Osborne, he said shine all your torches so Ozzy can see you in heaven. Oh god, yeah. But the sound of silence was just It was literally solid. So beautiful, it was so it was so nice and it was quiet, but oh my god, like Vanessa bowled her eyes out. I bowled my eyes out, and I said, I remember saying to Nessa, I was like, when we saw them at download and he did sound of silence, imagine how quiet this room was, and then times it by like a field, and it's a field, yeah, and it's still you could hear a pin drop, yeah, it was gorgeous. Oh my god, um, and then they closed it inside the fire. But honestly, that that gig was wow, nice, just wow. It's like when you go to gigs and you go to see someone that you're really excited for, you just kind of sat there or stood there, just in awe of what's happening. I was like that, and I don't remember any of it. And I was just like, I just remember sitting there, just staring at that stage, and I was like, oh my god, this is like amazing. So, like to kind of like get the memories back, I have to look at the videos and be like, what the fuck actually happened? See, that's what happened to me with Aussie. Really? Yeah, when Aussie came on, I don't and mum had the same thing because it was so overwhelming with what had gone on throughout the day. The second Aussie came on, my mind just went blank. Oh my god. To the point where I remember bits of it, but I don't remember all of it. So I have to like rethink and try and remember what happened at that gig. We need to fix the computer because that's where the savings are. Shittier it is, isn't it? Because like with um with the back to beginning, Neil and his mum went and I couldn't get a ticket, so I bought an online ticket so I could just watch it. And I was I was just sat there, and it was a good like two-hour delay from what they were seeing to what I was seeing. I think that's because they had to obviously like get the cameras and like do all the sounds and stuff like that. Well, they were doing live edits as well, and and live edits as well, so it made sense. So um, as the gig was going on for Neil, he would text me saying Metallica have just been on, and then I'll just I'll look up my phone and be like, Okay, Metallica have just been on. The gig hasn't even started for me. So he's already seen like one band do a couple of songs, and I'm just like, right, okay. So then by the time that just from my perspective, by the time that the gig ended for them, Oussie hadn't even come on yet for me. And I remember um Aussie, they were all hyping up, ready for Ozzy to come on and and do do his songs and his set, and at that point I got a phone call from Neil and Lindsay saying that the train had been cancelled, so I still haven't seen Aussie at this point. I still had not watched it, so I had to I drove all the way to Birmingham because Neil's on like 2% battery. Managed to call me saying the train's been cancelled, so I was like, okay, I'm on my way. I get in the car, drive all the way to Birmingham, drive all the way back, and I think um You got there in like 25 minutes. Yeah, I got there in about 25 minutes. I paused it. Actually, no, I left it running because I was screen recording so I could watch it back later. And um we came back because we had to go to was it Warsaw or somewhere where your mum left her car? Cannock, that was it. Drove to Cannock so Lindsay could get her car. Um, I then followed them because you went in the car with Lindsay, didn't you? Yeah. Yes, then I followed them back here. Lindsay then went off home, and Neil was like, What do you want to do? And I was like, I want to finish watching this. So then he came upstairs with me so I could finally get onto watching Ozzy do his set, and oh my god, it was it was it was amazing, it was so good. I will go into more detail about that gig when we got mom here as well because if she's ready. Honestly, I there was this Welsh lad who was sitting next to us, and I remember at one point I turned round to him and I was like, This isn't real, and he went, What do you mean? I said it's like literally you've picked every character who's got the best stats in a video game and put them on a stage together. I said that's what I'm watching. I said, This isn't real. I thought it's like fucking live aid or something like that, but for metalids. Yeah. It is. It it I would absolutely say that was the equivalent of live aid. But honestly, nuts, but again, like I say, I'll go into a bit more detail about that when mom's here and sort of can go through it all band by band and stuff, because I didn't miss a single second of it, because every single band there is like in my top ten, basically. Yeah. Um but this disturbed gig, honestly, mate, that could have been a headline set download if it was that good. It was, it was really, really good. Like it obviously there's a whole stigma around David Draymond, which I'm not gonna go into. Um but I think people need to kind of leave that where it is. You know, it's it's sort of yeah, you can feel one way about it, but at the end of the day, it's it's about the music, not about him as a person. Um you know, plenty of people have the ability to separate the art from the artist, so I think if they were able to, Disturbed could easily headline download without certain one like it, because that was fucking nuts to watch. Um and they're big enough to do it, easily big enough to do it. Um so yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if Disturbed were a download next year, to be honest. After that. Oh yeah, we'll show. And then therefore, Megadeth as well, considering they're retiring as well, which I'm upset about, but at the same time I completely understand it. You know, go out on a high, don't let yourself sizzle off. So, and again, I think the whole Aussie Osborne thing has got a lot to do with that as well. Yeah. Um but yeah, that's uh that was our anniversary. It was. And the next day we did fuck all, didn't we? Uh no, we absolutely did fuck all. I think um Yeah, because we were both off work, and I think we woke up at about like six, seven o'clock, and we was like, nah, fuck this, and we just went back to sleep. Yeah, we did because our alarms went off, didn't they? Because we forgot to turn them off. Um so we just went, yeah, fuck this, went back to sleep. Um the other news now is download announcements coming up in a couple of days, isn't it? Yeah, it is, yeah. So what I'm thinking is I'll probably put out the download review episodes before this goes out. And then we'll do another download reaction video podcast like we did last year. Yeah. Do it and kind of get our thoughts on it as and when it comes, pause, watch the video and carry on. Which will be it's the third. It is the third. So that'll be a Monday. That'll be Monday at nine o'clock. Are you down for coming over? Eight days time. Yeah, eight days time. Fucking hell. I'm gonna be a busy man over the next few days. Well. Yep. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. It's all mad. All mad, to be honest. At the minute. Yeah. I don't know, has anyone else got any topics they want to discuss? We bought tickets to see my camp. Yes, we did. We managed to get tickets to see my camp. We did. For um for next year at Wembley in July. Yeah. Nice. So we're going to that. And um Yeah, we're excited, aren't we, Bub? We are. We are very, very excited for that. So we've just got a book in Airbnb, and we can all me, you, Dylan, and Ness can all go down and have an absolute blast at that. Oh my god, I'm so excited. So excited. If you go and see them and that that this becomes a a thing, then I'm I'm still adamant that my cam are gonna be there. I am that is a hill I am willing to die on. That Mike Hem are gonna be there. If they were, I'd be quite happy with that. What Damon's got on his phone is like a a download poster. Clearly it's one that someone's made, but you've got the headliner for Friday on the main stage as Ghost, and then on the Saturday you've got Mike Em and on the Sunday you've got Lincoln Park. To me, that's a good fucking lineup. And you got Priest there as well. You got Priest there, falling in reverse. Oh my god. Gogira. Gogira, yeah. Rob Zombie. Finish. Youngblood. Oh, Triumblood was there every well. Trivium. Yeah. Yeah, boy. Oh man. All time low. Aren't they touring? They broke, I think. No, I think they're touring. They're tour. I swear they're touring, yeah. Oh, can we add Westlife onto there? Because Westlife is doing a tour next year. Oh, that would be so. Can you imagine? What the fuck is that? Let's not talk about that. Yeah, let's not talk about that. Oh, that's nice. Oh yeah. I'll be up for that. Nando's on a Friday. Nice. Did I just see one with a Lidl sign? Yeah. Yeah, look, it's got Nando, Lil the Lidl, and Sleep Token and some fake taxi. Raid Shadow Legends as well. What is it that um Benji said from Skindred? Oh yeah, Benji apparently was Skindred's um most recent gig. He said, Who wants to see us at Download? And the crowd went absolutely mad and he said, Alright, keep an eye out. So basically they're gonna be there. I reckon they're they're one of these. Oh my god. I'd love that. Something's gonna break. Yeah. Art Creed. Creed need to do Ganglo. They do. I'd love that. The Artorian. That's the that's the naturally that's the last band on my list. Creed anything else is bonus. Bill Murray. And Bill Murray. If Bill Murray's there, I'll be flying in. Yeah, because you're um on holiday, aren't you? Yeah. Yeah. Nothing is booked, so. Oh, okay. So we will see what happens. But I am thinking if I do go, I'm gonna go really light. Okay. I'm not gonna go full uh Hilton. And why not? I'm thinking a tent that takes ten seconds to set up. One of these pop-up tents. Wasn't that your tent last year? No, that's not that was my big fucking. Yeah, but that's my caravan. Yeah, but you were done before any of us got anything close to being done. No, that's because it's an air tent. It took too much, it's too much labour. What? So essentially what you want is you want a tent, like you said, a pop-up tent that you can just throw and it'll do it do the job. I've seen one way, open it like an umbrella. What the fuck? Is it teamag? Uh yeah, but there's got um I don't know how water if it is. Not very from what I've seen. Yeah, opens it like an umbrella and then you just extend the four legs and you got a tent. Jesus Christ. Um I am thinking of bringing like a roll mat. I know, I don't look at me like that. But I'm thinking really mate, you're gonna have no spotting left. Trust me, I'll do it my first year of download, and I've said I'd never do it again. I know, but I want to see what happens if I travel really, really light. I can tell you what's gonna happen, mate. You're gonna leave that field with spinal method. That's what's gonna happen. See, the thing is, I do like sleeping on the hard floor. It's honestly mate. It feels good to my back. No. I'm telling you no, you do not want to sleep on a roll of matte download. The only thing I'm scared of is it's gonna be cold. You'll be cold. Your back's gonna be killing you, and you won't sleep very well, and you'll be in a shit mood. I don't sleep that well at download anyway. Do you not? Nah. Don't sleep like a log. I don't like that. Yeah, I sleep like a baby, I do. I uh well it depends how tired I am, but I usually get into bed, watch some stuff, and then uh I'm up at seven o'clock. And then I try to get back to sleep, and then something comes out and then like fuck me so. Yeah, to be fair. To be fair, yeah. Don't drop in a fucking car or download in the morning, and you turn it off. Yeah, so I'm looking for something that's not too big that I could potentially put uh an umbrella on top if it gets too hot. Oh, like a parasol. Yeah. I think we've um got it sussed out. Um Yeah, I think our setup now is like there's only two things missing from that setup. Yeah. One of them's a little toilet. Which is in my Amazon basket. And the other one is a new gazebo. Well, it depends. Well, you know, the the the the old gazebo will should be returning. Yeah, no Penelope taken by someone. She did. Yep, down here. It depends, because like this time I'm thinking if you're coming. And then obviously Soph and Cal have mentioned about coming. Yeah, that's my stepmum and um my stepsister. So obviously I think if us lot camp together, then we could probably like throw a tarp over or something, or like do like a makeshift one. Maybe. A lot of luck about the gazebo is the sides. Yeah, I have I have got a gazebo in my Amazon basket, which is like 130 quid. It's a hexagon, I think. It's either hexagon or octagon, it's one of them. It's it's got X amount of sides. Um and it's it's actually really good because hang on, let me pull it up. Have you checked Timu? I don't trust Timu. I really don't trust it. But my boss at work says that she swears by it. Oh, me too. But I I just don't trust it. Yeah, that's it. Oh yeah, yeah. And it's like um same shape as them all, yeah. Yeah, oh yeah, so hexagon. Um yeah, and it's just like one of those pop-up ones. So it's really good. So I really had to I was looking for ages and ages and ages because I was um on Go Outdoors, and then I was just like, it's too expensive. Even though I've got the membership, I'm like, no, it's still too expensive. Black Friday sale. That's a very good point, actually. Shit. She stop spending my money. I'm poor, I'm broke. Spend someone else's money. Yeah. Mine. But no, we've got a we've got a toilet in in my Amazon basket because uh you know Talia was knit like hitting the nail on the head last year. That was a really good idea. And like that toilet to me was MVP of download. I can see now, sitting in the middle of the field. Whack out the toilet. I thought you meant in the middle of the fucking arena, just watching a bat, you're dropping a log. Everyone opens a tents in the morning. It's like you know. Yeah, just pick it up and then go for a a mosh. Yeah. Craig, sir. Don't don't tip me. Don't touch my arse. It ain't white. Fucking hell. So I go past your one wiping it for me. Yeah. Don't don't give eye contact to the cleaner though. It's alright, it's all brown anyway. Oh fucking hell. Is it mud or is it shit? Who knows? Yes. Yes. But yeah, I I I think I think we're pretty good with our setup now. I just think we need another cart. Yeah. We need some little umbrellas for the back of our chairs as well. They're in my Amazon basket. Uh oh, there you go, though. Did you do the uh uh pop-up bed thing? Yeah, yeah, we did. And a mattress. Yeah, it was really fucking comfy. More comfy than that actual fucking bed. It was. And that's why I'm saying don't go on a floor mattress, just do that. Because you need a single ones for that. It was really comfy. I mean it's a bit more weighty, but worth it. Worth it. Because obviously it's 10, which is just like a single expandable bed with uh a thing on the top. But you can get pop-up three man. A three man would do you fine. I've got a pop-up three man. And we've got three man in there, going spare, but no one's you no one's claimed from it. I've got a three-man square thing. No, I I I do think I think next year's download could be quite quite good, but it depends on the lineup because I've got a horrible feeling the lineup is gonna be absolute ass. Oh yeah, if it's absolute trash, then I'm not going. I think it's gonna be one of them where it's either gonna be an absolute slap or you're gonna have to dig for the good bands in there. Yeah. And the problem is, I think for me, if you have to dig for that many good bands, then is it really worth going? I think it'll be a good year. I'm hoping it's a good year. It's gotta be a good year. I'm thinking Bill Murray. Bill Murray's definitely gotta be there. Bring me. Bring me's a good shout. Yeah. But he has had he has just had twins, so and also they're playing other festivals around it, because somebody, somebody on the deer download, and I showed Nikki this, they'd done like a spreadsheet of all the potential headliners. Yeah. And if they're available and like colour-coded it all in like a sexy L spreadship. Oh, it was so playing. It was a sexy spreadsheet. Okay, they can do this day, they can't do this day, they're here. I was like, fucking hell, that's like impressive. Oh my good god. It was a very sexy spreadsheet. Like, oh, it was beautiful. You think President will be back again? They're playing slam dunk. Nah. So I don't think they'll be a download. Cool. But yeah, one of the bands that I want to be a download is Exodus. That's another band that I need to see live as well. Ailstorm. Ailstorm would be good. That takes me out. Oh yeah. My god. Fucking hell. Comes out with his key guitar. This song's about killing midgets. Fucking hell. Fucking hell. You can get away with that, mate. No. Ah, I love it. Oh right, well, should we wrap it up there then? Wrap it up. It's almost Christmas. Right. Do you want to start first, Bubba? Yeah. See you later. Alright. It's a goodbye from me. Piss off. Oh, is that your new outro, is it? The classic. And yeah. There we go. Right. Take care, guys.
