7,500 DOWNLOADS… AND WE’RE JUST GETTING STARTED 

From two lads having a laugh behind the mic to thousands of downloads across the world — this one means a lot.

No scripts. No polish.
Just proper plastering stories, real talk, and a bit of chaos along the way.

To everyone who’s listened, shared, supported, or even just stuck us on in the van… THANK YOU. You’ve helped build something special.

Next stop… 10,000 

And trust me — we’re not slowing down.

If you haven’t tuned in yet, now’s the time.
If you’ve been with us from the start — you’re part of this.

Well, can you believe it? Today we've we've hit seven and a half thousand downloads in seven months. Wow. Bloody unrated madness. Absolutely. Absolute madness. You know, when we set out, what we aim, oh, you can get a thousand downloads for Christmas, we'll have done bloody well. I I can't believe how it's took off. You know, and let's start now. Like let's thank everybody. Thanks, you know, everybody America, UK, Ireland, Australia, wherever you are. You know, obviously, you know, thanks for you know, thank everything you're doing, whether you listens to in your van or uh worker, wherever you're listening to, but thank you. You know, we didn't think we'd get anywhere near this amount of downloads. It's unreal. We did a because we got so many downloads. Went on chat GBT, and so how's it actually figure? And we figure second number number two download in Britain for plastering. Do you believe that? Bloody awful, innit? You know, number some.

SPEAKER_01

Two blokes, sorry, two blokes, one mic, no idea. No fucking idea.

SPEAKER_00

Well, we still got mics. In fact, we we've invested with two mics now. Yeah, we moved it forward a bit. Yeah, we've we've been like, I think we might celebrate if we get 10,000 and buy a new mic.

SPEAKER_01

Yes, but uh wingsy tiger.

SPEAKER_00

I don't know, but you you know, you you can think it started as an idea, it was just a bit of a piss take, to be quite honest. You know, plus is that you know, let's have a crack. Well, let's do it, but let's do a podcast. How do you do? I don't know how to fucking do one, but it can't be that difficult. And and that way how it all kind of started. Watched a few videos on YouTube. Oh, we need to be doing this, and we need to be doing that. All right, let's get on with it. You know what I mean? And you know, first few are absolute shape. But well, no, I mean they're all right, they're all right, but we didn't know what we were doing, and we still we still don't most of the time, but it's growing and we we're getting so much on, mate.

SPEAKER_01

We're still figuring his way through, aren't we? But I think that's half the half the fun of it, and I think a lot of people enjoy the fact that we're we're still fucking it up.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, they like the fact you know, we speak it as it is, like two guys on site having a crack and a banter, which we do, and and they like what guests we get on board. We're getting some real top guys, some real good top plasters, come on board with a lot more to come on board as well, because you know, we we find these people and they find us. Oh, yeah, we come on, and answers always, yeah, love it. When can we? And and he's tying it all in, really.

SPEAKER_01

Getting, you know, when we get three people can be together to do recording, sometimes four people, but uh yeah, but the British ones are easy, it's when we get after do the Australians or the Americans with the time difference, that can be um an absolute nightmare.

SPEAKER_00

Well one with Dean, that were like 11 hours time difference when you know you Cody that was a bit naughty, wasn't that one? Yeah, but we did it, we we did it. Bloody good, and one of the best, you know, one of the high scoring downloads we've we've had, and Cody and Justin in America, and that's like five hours difference, and you know, and it's brilliant, absolutely brilliant.

SPEAKER_01

So as much as as as much as we're made up that we've got this far, we've got to say a massive thank you to the people that have come on and joined us.

SPEAKER_00

Oh yeah, absolutely.

SPEAKER_01

Without them we want to be now. Without them, we're we're just two guys. Yeah. Having a chat.

SPEAKER_00

Having a chat.

SPEAKER_01

Having a laugh.

SPEAKER_00

Having a laugh. That's it. We love having a laugh, don't we? So yeah, yeah, yeah. Thanks everybody for for coming on board and start as two guys, one mic, and that's it. And think about it, you're up against you know, big big multi-million pound bloody radio stations or ever. And we're like, no, get a mic off Amazon for 20 quid and see how it goes. And that's just it. Now we scripted, make it up most of the time, we make it all the time. Don't we? So what's a script? So that's it, really. I've got a pen. I've got a pad. Yeah, Mick's got a pen and a pad. So so we are scripted, he writes sometimes things down like my name and guest name, and that's about it. I've just figured out how to spell it as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's learning how to spell now. He's teaching at college, he's had to learn how to spell now, he's gone back to teaching. So, yeah, all joking apart, again, thank you for everybody for downloading, taking the time, listening to us. If you want to come on board, give us a shout, you know. I mean, contact us through bloody face, but we're all damn face. But send us a message, come on board, be part of us. We you know, we we love having people on board. It's they're good, and we're all lads all come on board, they're all down to earth, everyone of us. We're all same, we're all plasters, ex-plasters, and what have you, master classes or whatever degree you've reached to, but you're still plasters end of the day.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, exactly. And that's what this was brought in for.

SPEAKER_00

That's it. So that's it. Two guys, one Mike. Now we're called the Mick and Dave show, and and that's it, really. So thanks again, and it's a goodbye from me, Dave.
