Hello, welcome. It's Hardlord time. Oh. Wow. Happy 4th of July. Happy 4th of July. Can you believe it? I really can't. You know, it's been weeks since we did this. Yeah. I've been, I was in Europe for a whole extra week than we, then, you know, past the one that we did together.

I wasn't on the internet much. All I can hope for is that my favorite Titanic submarine is ready to go for me. soon. Yeah, should be soon. Yeah. That's what I'm hearing. I'm hearing rumbling.

I'm going to be ready. What's up? How are you? I'm good, brother. I feel, I'm happy to be home. I can't imagine how you feel. Yeah.

Yeah. So we, I have so many questions for you, but I think we take it one day at a time. Yeah, chronologically. Sure. Day one.

you stayed you it's so funny let's explain what what what we just did but yeah yeah yeah yeah let's break it down yeah we just we just took

a hard lore field trip we had a little European vacation we went to Outbreak Fest in Manchester UK stopped in London UK for a bit for some extracurriculars

and we're here to tell you about the our first podcast trip abroad not playing in bands yeah there to talk That was weird.

Wasn't it? It was very weird doing something like this, going to a fest and not carrying a guitar. At first it was liberate. At first it was like, we're at the airport with no instruments. We're so cool. And then, dude, once we're at the show, I was like, I'm a piece of shit. Yeah, I suck. I don't do anything.

I'm a loser. That's, it really felt that. I don't know if it's like, I was having, I think this is the first time I've ever had FOMO. Really? Yeah. I think it's probably more imposter syndrome, no? No, I'm imposter. I know I'm good at you posture?

No, Hardlora is sick. You know, like I'm not an imposter in that regard. But it's like the opposite of imposter, you know? Mm-hmm. Where it's like, I play music, I do this, you know. Guys, I do this too. I swear to God I do it too. So, you know, I'm not much, and I'm not much of a fomo erotic guy, you know.

No. I'm a I just I'm vibing I love to Mo oh my God I know all the time I prefer to M oh you know we met up at a portillo's oh my God you know I flew I specifically yeah left a whole day early just to fly to the UK with but you know just a fun two guys who talk every day flying together. We don't often get to fly together. No, rarely. We meet on uncommon ground.

Yeah. On enemy ground most of the time. Yeah. So this was a fun thing. It was like, all right, this will be cool. We planned it perfectly where I would go to Chicago, and then we would land in the UK at night. So we'd be tired and go to bed.

Because neither of us can sleep on planes. And then what happens? No matter what, we're going to be awake. And then what happened, Bo? American Airlines fucked us, dude. I'm about to be on the no-fly list after this motherfucking episode.

I'll tell you what. I want to do a little intro? Right now? Just a little, some behind the scenes. Our flight has been delayed one billion hours. American Airlines. Fucking motherfuckers.

They will burn in hell. They will rue the day. They cross-ups. Hardlord. That, what American did to us by delaying, they've delayed our flight, what, eight hours? Eight hours. A full, yeah. Just an email saying your flight is now eight, it's not like 20 minutes or something.

It's eight hours later. And you know how it goes. Like, when you get that notice, that's like, hey, they're telling you, hey, best case scenario, it's eight hours from now. Yeah. So we're preparing for cancellation when. Yeah, we're... When we prepared, we planned this trip to the minute. Yeah, we really did.

And not that, dude, that chain reaction that that caused, caused me to not sleep the entire week. So if you were at the live episode of Outbreak, I'm sorry. I hadn't slept for a week. It was a great day, beautiful day. Perfect day. That Sunday. Oh, yeah.

Incredible day. One of the all-time great days, some would say. But other, but that part of it, dude, I could do a study right now on like what it feels like to not sleep. I still, I've barely slept since getting home just now, just so you know. Jesus Christ. Yeah. But we met at a Portillo's. Oh.

We went to Portillo. So it's a pretty good day after all. I'm going to feel myself today. We met at the Portillo's equivalent of that in and out that's at LAX. Which is a good, good in and out. Yeah, that is a good in and out because they. Gotta be. Gotta be.

Because that's the one like Anthony Bornain is like, I go to the in and out by LAX. That's the first thing I do. Yeah. Fuck yeah. So we did the same. There was like there's one in Elk Grove, I think, or just planes. It's wherever John Wayne Casey, wherever his house is or was. Cheers.

Had a lovely meal. Oh, dude. I, like my woes evaporated. Yeah, you were mad at me. Why were you mad at me? Because you were late. But I wasn't late. I said noon and I was early.

But then it was like, I texted you at like 10.30 and it was like, I'm ready. And you were like, me too. And then it was noon. I don't live there. And I got there first.

We're going to be fine. We're going to be real sleepy. How much sleep can you last time? Two and a half. Solid two. About you? About one. One?

One? That's worst. scenario. That's kind of why I left late. I was good now. I had to ride it. Yeah, but you were 10 minutes from it. Whoa, easy. My Uber ride was 45 minutes on the city. Well, that's, you should have

that's on you, man. We had a great meal. Oh, God, did we ever? The bull thrower shirt guy? Oh, that's pretty funny. Okay, I need to like anybody in the Chicagoland area will understand this. Like, you know what Portillo's is like, there's all walks of life. Everybody loves a beef.

Yeah. Oh my God. And the, I feel like I've never seen a punk or a metal head at a Portillo's in my entire. So it's like already rare enough. Yeah. Colin's wearing a cut off as he does. And we,

we both like simultaneously while we're eating like turn and see this dude in the craziest bull thrower bootleg I've ever seen. Orange both, both for a bootleg. Like a, yeah, like a hunting orange. So I go up to his table and I say,

well, one of us is going to have to change. And he looks at, me like I just killed his mother. Like I shot his mom in the head. And like, what are the odds of two guys in both or her shirts being at this outgrow fucking portillo's on a Sunday afternoon? It was the strangest.

It happened the next day in London with the Dioid shirt. That's right. I kept matching with motherfuckers. But that guy was cool at least. He was badass. He dapped me. Yeah. Went to the airport. the Hilton at the airport, tell me about it.

Oh my God. Dude, the, what is your fucking airport called? O'Hare. O'Hare. The O'Hare Hilton is the biggest piece of shit I've ever stayed at. It's like a prohibition era. Speak easy disguised as a hotel. Like the rooms were partied and shitted and fucked in.

And now you're supposed to sleep in there? You just described how I get my hash browns at Waffle House? shitted folks and yeah. calmed. The lobby looked really nice and it's a hotel It's in the middle of the airport

so you would assume it's like bawling. Yeah. Not the case. A pile of shit, dude. The first thing I saw when I checked in that night was a guy who had just picked up Portillo's and I was so fired up. I was like, dude, do they deliver any look to me?

He went, no. And they were 15 minutes past closing. So now I can imagine The trek that that man had he probably walked there He probably fucking his eyes there Jesus Yeah it was dark So you know we're finally

We're our bellies are full of Italian beef Stuffed I can't think of boarding So while we're doing this I was taking Little vlogs Because we didn't know Up until like two days before Sean fucking say. Sean fucking say, dude.

The goat. The geyser, dude. The fucking geyser. The geese. He, it was like 36 hour notice. He agreed to go to England because at first we thought we were going to have a lab. Dude, we had like five different British

videographers lined up. And every time we described what we were doing to one, they were like, yeah, I don't think God can do that might. I don't fake it's going to work. Yeah. So they You know, people were signing on for one day. And it's like, that's not how we work, dude. Yeah.

We go to McDonald's six times a day and you need to be there for us five times, minimum. And we nap. And we be napping, dude. You know, you just got to be ready. Let's just shout out Sean, dude. The geyser. He's the fucking man. He went to England before us.

Yeah. So he was already there by the time we were in the air and was just hanging out. Just being Sean. He's indescribable to people. You have to experience him of them once you do. He's the geyser, you know? He is.

I had to wait. So Chubby, we did land. The first thing we did after landing, we took a nap for two hours. I overslept. Yes, you did. You're a piece of shit. You're Matt.

That was a bad one. If I'm having to ask the front desk for your room number to knock on your door to wake you up. Yeah. Yeah. It's unexceptive. But I changed. I changed because after that, I said it so that my do not disturb, the only person on earth who can get through to me is Colin Young. And my alarm app. And let me tell you, brother, I have plans to disturb you.

Yeah, why didn't you do the disturb anyway thing? I did. 50 times. Oh, I called FaceTime, texted. I sent a Raven or sent the snail. There was nothing I could do. No Raven found me. And then when I finally knocked in the door, you opened it like,

oh, dude, I was what fucked. I was so fucked. I was like, we got to this ultra hip hotel in London. In Pekidooley. Zedwell. Piccadilly Circus, baby. In the middle of Times Square, London, basically.

And the rooms were like these concrete, dude, I slept so fucking good. Bo, they were they were bathrooms with beds in them. I had a great time. There's no window. So it's like, yeah, pitch black and the temperature goes down to 19 Celsius. Yeah,

yeah, that's true. Yeah. I took a shower and I, I went to another plane of existence. You slept for like four hours. Yeah. And I was like,

we're going to do an hour and then we're going to rock. You're like, sounds good. You lied. And I really, I really, I fucked up. But anyway, woke up.

We went, where do we go? What was the first thing we did? Oh, went to my boy, Weatherspoon? Yeah, dude. J.D. Weatherspoon? And what do we order? The king, dude. Oh, shit.

The full English, obviously. But with spoons now, you have to, like, you have to order on the app because they, they see you walk in and they fucking hate you. Oh, my God. Dude, they treated us how I want a coffee shop to. treat us. Yeah. But here.

Here. Yeah. I can't wait to talk about coffee. Oh. whoop. Um. Yeah. And, uh,

something happened because you ordered extra. I wanted, there's the tomato didn't come with the meal. So it was like, I got to get my boys some of these to make, these British tomatoes, you know? Yeah.

And then 12 came. 12 fucking sliced tomatoes. What did she say? She said, you must rid of like some mosses. I was like, I swear you were like, no. No, I don't. I swear.

Not that much. It was 12 tomatoes. That was Sean's first full English. That was your first weather spoons. Yeah, I think so. You a fan? Fuck yeah, dude. The hash browns, the beans on toast.

I love me some floppy bacon. I know it's not your favorite. I love the floppy bacon. Oh, do you? I thought you didn't like it. What do you mean? The British bacon? Yeah.

The back bacon? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's my shit, dude. Okay, great, great, great. I don't like it. The full English is like a perfect meal to me. Yeah, it's awesome. I could eat that every single day.

I would take that if that was in America, that would be my breakfast order. You think so? I'm a steak and eggs, man. We know this. It's well established. Well documented. But the full English, I would do seven days a week. We did a day about town with Chubby.

Collins New Love. I'm obsessed. I'm so obsessed with Chubby. He was perfect. We can't talk too much about it. No, I don't want to get into it. I just, what I will say is the day, whenever we post that as its episode, London with Chubby from the Chisel and Chubby and the gang, I think it's our best thing.

Yeah. Yeah, I think so too. I think it is the best single piece of media that we have produced yet. It will be the thing where if people are like, so what's your podcast about? I'll link to that. Yes. That'll be like, here's what it is. We did it all.

He was so generous with his time, with his humor, with his laughs, with our Sean, the geyser. Yeah. Let me talk about that. So we would look back and Chubby and Sean would be hitting it off. And mind you, we've said it before, Sean is just a guy. He was a videographer for K. Rock. He doesn't know nothing about this genre of music. He's just a guy.

But we've taken him in. He's our 40-something-year-old adoptee. Yeah. And he and Chubby would be shooting the show. And we posted something on towards the end of the trip. That was just a picture of Sean saying like, thank you, Sean. You killed it on this trip.

You didn't come. You know, you didn't prepare for this. You rocked. And Chubby just responds in all caps, the geyser. And we were crying laughing. I don't know what it was.

It's like just such a perfect. The geyser. We had to explain to Sean that it was complimentary. Yeah, that it's not an offensive thing. He's like, I'm that old man. Yeah, come on, man.

Dude, Sean's review of the trip. Oh, yeah. His favorite part. I'll probably put that in right now. I think. Do I look at the camera or you? What was, you got a highlight?

Just the honeies. Not going to lie. God, I love that. I can't wait to tell you about that. That's a good representation of his personality. Yeah, yeah. And then what we did? Then we went to Manchester.

We took a train. I'll tell you what. I've described England as a serious country run by various forms of of Willy Wonka. The silliest motherfuckers. And this train is a mystery to me. Because we were early and it was like, oh, it's leaving. Yeah, it left 20 minutes before this. It was like a flight leaving 20 minutes before scheduled departure, just because.

Just because. Which makes me think it was the wrong one. we definitely got on the wrong train but there was but like it that doesn't make sense because the train before it should have been gone already so maybe it was the same platform same train number same seats

worked yeah a lady was sitting in my seat but like probably not because it was the wrong train just like the the criticism that we have right now is us being stupid of course yeah us being fucking idiots oh oh but real quick we ate shake shack

one evening That was awful. Y'all ain't got it. Okay. Nah. Bless them. True. I will say, and this, this was at the end.

Yeah. The best American thing I had while I was there. Mm-hmm. KFC. No shit. Dude. So it was when you're in Paris? No, it was in my last day.

We flew out of Heathrow, so it was like, Oh, okay. I opened, I hit me with some delivery. You know? Yeah. I opened Deliveroo. Got me a KFC. And I had them,

I got some Burger King too, because I needed them. The Doritos chili heat-waged chicken fries. Do you? Okay, we'll get there. We'll get there. We'll get there. We'll get there.

We also did a hauntler thing for anybody who likes hauntler. That'll be up in October. That'll be up in October. We're going to have haunt month. Every Tuesday in October, there will be a new, a new hauntler.

Can't wait. But, We had Shake Shack. It wasn't good. Dog shit. I ate it with the sauce on it, even though I asked without. Yeah. I went to bed mad.

It was awful. Took a train in Manchester. I did not sleep. So I had a solo adventure around Soho. Oh, that's right. I was the main character for about four hours. What were you listening to? Nothing but.

Oh, my God. It was Morrissey. It was like, it was like, come back to Camden and fucking. let me kiss you you know just thinking like what would he think if he was me

he right now when I got to Manchester that was when I went into Oasis mode just like sure I'm going fucking prick got to Manchester

yeah got to our Colin was experiencing nothing but fuckage but it's it's not just

experiencing it's experiences Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just a pattern of getting fucked over. He got the small room at Zedwell. I got a double. I got a huge room. She was literally like, we have upgraded you to the bigger room.

I was like, fuck me then, huh? Yeah, yeah. I was like, lady, I edit the show. Okay. Lady, this guy does nothing. She was like, okay, he gets a bunk bed. You got bunk bed. He gets cocoon four.

Yeah. We should have slept together. we got oh god my snorn we got to the Manchester hotel where we would spend a week we were locals by the end of this one oh dude I could tell you every inch of what is that area

Piccadilly yeah the other Piccadilly it's gay village Oh gay village right that was gay village Big fan of gay village Manchester That's my home It's the best days of my life there They gave us cookies

We go up to our rooms and I get a huge beautiful bed, Colin, two little twins. And that was that you did a nice thing. You gave me a room. I gave it. And then I got into Sean's, Sean and I also switched and I got into that room.

Air conditioner didn't work. So they fixed it for me. But, you know, everything was a little bit fucked up, but mine was extra fucked up because the TV got no signal and could not be fixed. So I didn't get any fun British TV the whole time.

I will tell you what I What I happened to see My last day Was a show called Naked Attraction Okay Bo, you would not believe this show Okay This is like an MTV reality show

In the UK Okay Where somebody is a contestant on the show And it'll be somebody looking for love You know? Yes, I do So they get on a stage With a host and there's five pods

With people in them That go they show who the people are from the from below so they start cock first dick out pussy out on TV not blurred not blurred at all it's like like extra not blurred it's like look at he's uncircised and they're talking about it like that's this beautiful foreskin you know and they're like they're like looking at perceiving these bodies to be like yeah I'd be into that okay there's 10 seasons of this Holy shit. I watched it all night, this show.

So they go up slowly, revealing their entire bodies. And then they go on a date. And then they show the date and then tell you whether or not they had sex at the end of the date. And then whether or not they're still together after having sex at the end of the date, like weeks later. Whoa. This is what these people are watching. They're sick in the head. Yeah, they're fucked up.

They're fucked up. It's Willy Wonka. Tell them about the elevator. God. Dude, our our hotel elevator, we were doing like a Gene Wilder. We said this in a live show for sure.

Oh, yeah, you're right. It was like if you want to go down, you have to go, you have to press down. You have to press down to summon the elevator down in order to press up to go back up. If you want to go up, you must.

And that's just like, of course you did. You know? Yeah, yeah. And of course it's called deliveroo. Yeah. And way out. There's no exit. Way out is so stupid.

But that's fine. I don't want to repeat bits for the live thing. We spent a day with Jimithi from higher power. Big Jimmy guy. You know, I've toured with him before. We had maybe three conversations on that tour. Yeah. I feel like we hit it off.

I want to put a little cotton here for him to curl up. Curl up and move in wherever he wants. Big Jimmy guy. went about town. We went and saw fucking rancid that night. Dude, that was crazy. Thanks to Lars, our friend, beloved friend of the show, Lars.

They sounded so good. That was a really special full circle moment. And he shouted out Boe during the set. Yeah, he said, So I want to see a circle pit. Do it for Boe, because Bo is always miserable. and then paused a bit and said,

just kidding, buddy, I don't even know you. He was like, I don't even know. Which is like hilarious. That was awesome. That was incredible. Dude, the set, rancid scientists. Set wizards, dude. Unbelievable.

Unbelievable. Got to meet them a little bit real quick. That was cool. That was cool. Our buddy Otto who is touring with them and our buddy Liz who was touring with them doing sound. That was cool.

They got a good little team there, Rancid. Got the C serum never healed. Fucking stage managing. That's right. Yeah, that's right. Very cool. Then we went to a little place called Archie's for dinner. You know, Archie, whoever it is.

Yeah. Certified. The actual good food. That isn't like Nando's or American. Everything, 99% of the experience was perfect. Yeah. One percent was when she said, Did you guys want ice in your drinks?

And we were like, yeah, sure. She left for 10 minutes. She went down to the basement. She went down to the basement to the fucking vault. The Lampa cave. They keep six cubes in case of emergencies. She used two cubes per drink. Melted immediately.

Dude. I figured it out, by the way. Okay. Okay. I, and let me tell you, I figured out why the lattes are so bad when you get it. okay like when you get an ice latte in the UK Paris anywhere I in mind you me me experimenting with making coffee at home figure this out in two hours it was like

hmm why isn't this working oh okay I need more ice gotcha they they take the fucking they take a vessel like this yeah it'll be like oh he ordered an ice coffee perfect I have the perfect thing it'll be this and they'll put three ice cubes in it stacked and they'll be like, this is perfect. They fill it with milk to about right here. Yeah. And they go, this is great. All this milk and these three ice cubes are going to keep this liquid hot magma coffee that I pour in here.

So cold. They pour it in, it's immediately gone. Immediately. It's a hot beverage. Europe. Your ice ratio is off. You're doing it wrong. You fill, you get a bigger vessel for one.

Yeah. wider. Wide. I'm passionate about this. Fill it. Don't do the milk yet. You know, that's what you got to do.

Don't, you're filling it with milk is hurting us. We're mad. You're mad at you. You know, I hate you after. I do. Because let me tell you,

Black Sheep Coffee, Bo. Dude, this is where it started. It was the following day. If you work, if you're watching this and you work at Black Sheep, deep coffee. The one at the fucking train station in Manchester. Holy shit, dude. The worst shit I've ever had.

So for those of you who don't know, they don't really have cold brew that much. There are places that have it. We found some. But when you ask for a cold brew, they're going to give you iced coffee, which is hot coffee poured over ice. If you're lucky, dude. If you're lucky. Or you can get an iced Americano. We got iced Americano's for black sheep coffee. Oh my God, dude. I can't, it was. It was indescribable.

You know what it, yeah, you know what it was like? It's like how LaCroix has like flavors and it's like the suggestion of what the flavor is. Yeah, yeah. It was like a flat LaCroix coffee flavor. Truly a pompal moose. Yeah. Yeah.

The most revolting substance I have ever consumed. To the point where I'm like, I'm, I, I, I feel. feel bad. And to Sean's point, he's a hot latte guy. Anytime he got his order, which is a four shot latte with oat milk and two sugar in the raw,

he was like, this is better than what I get in America. He did say that. Every time, he's like, this is all better than Starbucks. And we were like, fuck you,

Sean. No, it's not. But we're cold coffee guys. So what are you going to do? So I think it's up to, we have to. Yeah.

Hardlord coffee needs to exist in the UK. We need to just guide them. You can't get hot coffee there. You can't, don't come, go somewhere else, you know? Don't do it. We'll brew it hot, but you can't have it. Yeah. Don't come, don't do it.

Very disappointing. It was a sad day. So what we, what we did was we filmed a video trying all the hot spots in Manchester, all the, all the number one top rated coffee spots. There was a winner. there was a clear winner clear winner um that was the day that we got extra passes to outbreak

we went to McDonald's oh that was fun and people came by people came looking for tickets I couldn't imagine doing that here you know exactly I would feel embarrassed to be like hey Chicago I'm in Wicker Park I know right

but it felt it felt cool it was like hey we're chilling in a 5,000 miles from where I live yeah and we got rid of 10 tickets in 30 minutes Yeah, it was awesome. Shout out to Dan, dude. Our scouts, our boy. Big dirty D dude. What a, what a laugh.

I said it in the live thing, so I won't repeat it. But Dan, damn, big fan. Pimp from Liverpool. We tried an extensive tasting menu at the finals. We sampled. We toured the whole thing. We got the works, truly. We made an episode about that.

We did, but I feel like we can say on here, a bummer. Yeah, it was a bummer. Disappointed by UK McDonald's. Do better. Just do better. We've got to do better. You have a Bisk off Lotus cookie McFurray.

Here, I would sever digits off of my hands to try that. There, it's soft serve with sprinkled cookies on it. Brother, I would not need the spoon if they made that here. No spoon needed. That'll be licking up in the cup. That was the most graphic thing I've ever seen you to. That was. I would be the McFlur.

I'd be Flurry. They don't mix. McFlur is there, for one. And this is something we've really got to touch on, Beau. Every straw, every utensil in the UK is paper. Paper. It's not real, guys. It's, yeah, it's a myth.

And even if you don't want to use plastic, use the fucking cane sugar shit that lasts for a little longer. Do anything but that. doesn't work. You want me to eat ice cream with a paper but you don't happen to paper when it absorbs ice cream. It becomes ice cream. That's how

it works. When a soluble substance absorbs a thicker soluble substance, you get two bad things. Yeah. Britain invented the English language, right? They did.

Invented red buses. invented time, invented. Gravity. Gravity. Sir Isaac. And paper utensils are happening in the year of this year. Yeah. That was brutal. Every, every swig of fountain pop that we had in that country was bad. I feel bad. And I bet that's like, if I was from the UK, I'd be like, fuck, that sucks. Yeah. You guys got to come. you have to make a pilgrimage.

Come to America. We'll give you a map. Just go to any McDonald's. You'll be like as long as it's functioning as it's supposed to be. You know, it's going to be a perfect pop. And you're going to understand we're so accustomed to what we get that I can't have a McDouble

and have a flat Coke zero with no ice. That's insane. It's crazy, man. And well, the McDouble doesn't exist there. but yeah whatever the whole other issue you want to open another a worm a can of worms but you know what they did have they had mozzarella cheese snack bites that was gang with marinerosos sauce yeah little cheese nuggets good cheese nuggets yeah pretty dope that was cool but like other than that uh the nuggets were bad remember they didn't have a whole meal man that it was the the inside

the inner meat of the mcnugget in the ukays unceased Unseasoned. Unseasoned. That's like you're, it's a stereotype. Don't you want to. Yeah. Don't you want to, we're past that. We've, we see,

you season now. I've had some things. Brother, I have, I had some things where I was like, yep, I'm in the UK, you know.

Yeah. But I had some, like I, I'll get there. Yeah. I had a proper beef wellie my last day. Oh,

I can't wait to hear about it. Okay. So that night, was that karaoke night? That was karaoke night. That was karaoke night. That was. karaoke now.

Yeah. Went to a place called K2 in Manchester. K2 in Manchester. Me, Colin, and Sean, just the boys, the lads.

After running into every member of Converged individually. Yeah, that's right. And then eating with Converged individually. Made a plan to get karaoke, do karaoke,

just the boys, just the lads. Living it up, we were like, we're in fucking Manchester, brother. So we're just going

to alternate Manchester, Manchurian artists. What was it? What was it? Manchurian artists. Something stupid. It should be Manchurian, I think. And it was a, it was like a Chinese. He was in Chinatown. It was in China Town. So it was a Chinese Korean place and they had a Morrissey song. Ah. Yeah. Ah.

And four like deep cutaways of songs. Yeah. Key and you take your best off. Thank you. Devastating. Truly no Smith songs, no cure songs. They didn't have, we talked about this in a live thing too, but they didn't have like any of my staple. karaoke songs that I would normally do.

It was very challenging. And they had the vocals on, the original vocals. Yeah, they had just like the music video version of any song. Like I'm battling Mark Morrison trying to return the Mac myself. And while this man with all his layers is talking about returning from the Mac. And what am I supposed to do? But we ordered us about 15 Dr. Peppers and eight bottles of water. Yeah, check it out.

For the three of us. That was awesome. Blew out my voice doing karaoke. You really did. Which was perfect for a whole talking for a whole weekend. Yeah. You, but you smash karaoke, so whatever. Thank you.

I had to get talk. Was that B. Chaos Night? Burger King and the UK, just a jungle, dude. It's crazy out there. And you, you cracked it. I did. You figured out. I don't know how well this is.

known either. But like after a certain time in all of Europe, some of the only places that are open are Burger King McDonald's and then like a falafel place, right? Yeah. There was a Burger King right in the middle of the square in Manchester

where we were. It was the only thing open that way. In the cut, like it's like the pubs are all around here circling it. Yeah. And they all closed. Yeah. So this is post pub, Burger King is the only thing in the center open. So it's fucking chaos. dude, be chaos.

Chaos. We walked into a fight. Yep. And we walked into about 20 people just surrounding the pickup window. Because it's like

that's just what you do there because there's no drive-through. So that's the answer. Everybody just fucking stands there at the window. When they call, there's a screen that goes 2.14, your orders ready. Come up.

Yeah. But these lads. just fucking stand there like vultures. But we got to try possibly my favorite thing that I ate the whole trip. Okay, that's... Are you serious? I had them again yesterday.

So, or two days ago. I had about, I ordered a 20 piece of them. Yeah. I ate 17 of them. Oh, you got sick of them? I had KFC too. Oh, okay. So I was like, I double dipped on the liberal road.

I just, if I had to get something again. Yeah. It would be that. Yeah, we went to Miller and Carter Steakhouse, and I wouldn't go back. I think that's like they're Mortons, it seems like. Yeah, it wasn't great. Steak was fine.

Yeah. The guy sat us out. It was like, have you ever been here before? And we were like, no. And he was like, well, everybody that works here is a stike expert. They know everything there is to know about steak. We were like, cool. And then the waitress came.

We were like, where is that? the rib eye from. She was like and then I was like, oh, okay. What about the filet? And she was like, she's like, I know the sir. from Scotland. Yeah. She's like, come on, dude. So they have these chicken fries

that are are coated in Dorito in nacho Doritos. Chili heat wave Dorado chicken fries. That is what it was. Excellent. Excellent. A literal perfect fast food item.

Yeah, we need those here. Blown away by it. I would be, the king might be still the king if he had them chicken fries. Tushay. He's merely a jester without them fries here. But he is on top there, dude. Yeah.

Every BK is slamming there. Slamming. It's all they got. All they got is them chicken fries. Okay. Was this the first day of the fest then? I think we're at Outbreak Fest. Right.

Outbreak, finally. God. There's one thing I wish we could talk about so bad. What was it? The Punisher. Oh, dude, yeah. Fuck. That was like we actually saw Frank Castle,

the Punisher. That's the thing. But we'll, that's all. That's all, that's the whole thing. That's the bit. Outbreak. Yeah. Outbreak festival, Manchester, UK.

How do we? Yeah. I feel like we. Yeah. The live episode, we were pretty clear about our feelings there, you know? Yeah, I think so. I think the most important thing that we should say is that it was very special to be there. Yes.

So like to be able to be there doing what we're doing in retrospect now. Yeah. Is insane to me, you know? And the people that we met who were at the fest that we, because that that changed everything, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it was hard for me during, I can say this now because during the live episode,

it was very difficult for me to express. I was very emotional. And I think it was because I was so tired that my emotions were just so magnified. Yeah. Everything I wanted to cry the whole time, I don't know what it was. Yeah. I was like, we were meeting people from Bulgaria, people from France in Germany.

We were meeting people from even further away who, like, love the show. We can't check that metric, you know? Yeah, not really. There's no way to see that. So we're expecting to go there and be selling the show, you know, kind of. Yeah. And it was not the case. It was not needed.

Very cool. Very cool. So thank you all. Yeah. Who did? Let's see. I watched Converge. Dude.

What a. Well, I realized we didn't talk about Converge in the live thing. Oh. So let me say. Yeah. A. Four perfect guys. Unbelievable.

We did a full episode. Well, kind of. We did a long mini. Yeah. Yeah. It was a 51 minute mini with Nate Newton. And it was awesome. He's great.

we ran into all of them individually and they're all just as lovely as you would ever hope them to be. There are those guys where they've met their heroes and been disappointed by them. Right. Right. It's a really good point. They're us from a different generation, you know? Yeah. Yeah.

Where it was like guys who are doing it because they love it and because they're such big fans of the music that they want to play the music. And Kurt is just this, how does he do that? I don't, dude, I think about that with all of them. We sat down in our lobby before we headed out the first day and looked up and Ben was sitting across. He was like, oh, hey guys. It's just like, fuck.

They're all so cool and talented. And they rocked. They fucking. In a league of their own. They sounded awesome. Kurt was rocking like the fucking years of refusal buttoned up Fred Perry, you know. just one of those bands where I'll always have them on a pedestal no matter how personal I get with them.

It is weird to like be walking up the street and then half a buck down. Curbilloo is like, hey! We're like, oh fuck, yeah. I thought it was real. You're a wizard. But that was awesome. They were really good.

Who else? I'm honestly, it's a blur. Yeah, Bain tried to think. That was crazy. that was their first UK show back, which was a very full circle thing for me. First time I ever toured was in America with Bain.

The month later, I was in Europe with Bain. So those are the first two acts of physical touring I had ever done. Yeah. Whereas the Fult was in. So now here I am watching their

first show is back. So that was crazy. Day one, who fucking... Dude. Who were we able to see with our rinky dink passes? Yeah.

We talked about them in the life. I know. We couldn't do shit with the, we had press passes and not like, I don't know. We couldn't do it. We couldn't do what we were there to do. Yeah, we're just fine, you know. Wait? It's okay.

Hey. You reap your soul, brother. I'm going to sew your eyes. What? And then what? Oh, the truth was day one. I ripped my fucking pants again. Again, same spot, same move.

Well, it was gridiron the first time. Oh, it was great. Same move, though. It was the same exact. Same leg. Yeah, something's wrong with me. Got to stop. I have to change, right?

Yeah. Or just get different pants. Oh, hey, whoa. No, no, no. I'm saying keep those pants, but for your move. Oh, yeah. Well, we have an idea. We do.

We can't talk about it. You can't talk about that. But you'll see. I mean, you can guess. There's no pants made for spin kick. Maybe there should be. Was Saturday Code Orange Day or was Sunday Code Orange Day? Sunday was Code Orange Day.

Saturday was Code Orange Day. Right. You're right. You're very right. Did it amazing. Great. Full episode with our buddy Jamie. It was great.

And I realized we didn't tell the Jasa story. We didn't get that. to it. Did we not? So let me do that real quick. Please. I imagine I maybe have on the show. Yeah. I really wish I asked Jamie about it when we had him on.

The tour, the first tour we did with Hayprey was Twitching Tongues, Cote Orange, dying fetus, Hey Breed. Perseverance? No, it was satisfaction. Satisfaction. So every night they played satisfaction front of the back. It's the coolest thing ever. Yeah, like a great tour.

At one, so Jamie's doing his podcast with like a task cam recorder in the green room every night. And at one point, he's going to have Jamie Morgan on. Yeah. So he asks me, because he's going to try, he's trying to reach out to Jamie. And he says, is it, is it yami or yami? I said, well, Jamie, it's Jamie. Yami or Yami is fucking legendary. And he was like, Jamie, all right.

Thanks. Unreal, dude. That was good. We did a great episode. Yeah. I actually really enjoyed that one. No, it was a lot of fun. It's a legit, full, live, code orange, hard door episode.

Very fun. They had a great set. High Viz played that day, I believe. And they opened with, What's the Story? Yeah. and I missed it. Because we were doing, that was the first day.

We were doing the converge one during that time. Oh, that was the first day. We were doing the one thing we shot that day because it was the only place we could shoot it. And we missed. And we missed the hometown lads opening up with the hometown lads, dude. Un fucking believable.

Oh, it genuinely hurts me to say that. It was. I said it. So Hive is obviously known of for a while, never seen them. I've never Googled. who's in the band.

One of my top lads, Martin McNamara, Martin, if you're listening, I love you. You used to play an Irish band called Frustration. First full European tour Twitching Tongues ever did

was with frustration. So that was like another thing where it was like, damn, my boys are winning. Yeah. And high viz is like this is unbelievable.

And they're one of those bands that's so good that it's working everywhere. Yes. Yes. Correct. Which is really cool to see. Fucking the journeyman. There you go. That's a good way to put it.

Yeah. Yeah. What do we do Saturday night? I think we went to bed. I think this was like... Was that the night I slept? No, it couldn't have been. Because the live episode I was so stressed out about.

I was so stressed out about it that I couldn't sleep. I slept like a baby. every night. Oh, man. I can, just talking about it now, yeah. I can feel,

my body would get really hot at night because I was so tired. Yeah. And my head would get this feeling I've never felt before. Where like I would turn my head and then my brain would event,

like my eyes would turn first and then everything else turned. Yeah. And I can still kind of feel it. It's like my, I haven't recovered from it yet. Yeah. And I'm talking about it now I can feel the heat.

It's like I'm getting fucking that, that PTSD from it. You know, just talking about it. Weird week, man. I did not sleep. We went to a casino, I think, that night. It's motherfuckers. That was not the first.

I went to a couple more after you left. I'll tell you what. Okay. Never went well. Fuck British casinos. I did okay and relatt and then that was it. They suck. They wouldn't let me in.

Yeah. With the best top. Colin showed up. up in his patented cutoff shirt. And the guy said, no vest tops. Vest tops made me want to wear sleeves for the rest of my life. That being what they're called. Yeah.

Went back. Changed. Went back. Lost. Eight shit. You know, I had some cash. So I didn't have to withdraw. Yeah.

But it went so bad that it was like, I shan't. Even me A certified Ludomaniac Was like I should not gamble here This is not gonna go well

Because it's pounds too Keep in mind Which is fine You're like I only spent 200 bucks That's that's 800 bucks You know when you convert it It's crazy Awful

Then Sunday We finally got the correct stuff It was the day that we're technically performing So we were all day. So we yeah, a really unbelievable day. First ever live hard lore and it was in another fucking hemisphere. We did we did it in the the venue that we've played, a place called the Star and Garter. The Star and Gartre.

Which is right next door and they kind of like made it so that it was part of the venue. The venue, by the way, fucking huge. Very big. fucking disgusting. Puff full of, there was piss everywhere. They had the porta potties for the entire fest inside. Yeah. adjacent to the room where everyone's standing. You can't do that. Put the food there. You know? It's all vegan food anyway. There's nothing gross. Right. I'm just, I'm just, yeah, exactly. You but, like, dude. I mean, now they know, you cannot put porta potty's inside. It's like, that's one oh one.

They were overflowing. they were disgusting. There was piss and whatever else. Travelling her eyes, more like trapped amidst pissed. Amongst.

Yeah. Yeah, that was fucking awful. But we did our live hard lore. It was really special. We really, we're going to upload what we recorded. You'll be able to tell that we were really winging it.

It was just kind of like a pilot, you know, we're seeing it. if it worked. And so you'll be able to tell that we're kind of like, you know, there's lots of ums and all that good stuff. Well, we'll see. I might take them out.

I might make it look like we were so sick, dude, so good. It was awesome. We talked to people. We did some Q&A. Had a really good time. It was really special. It felt really good. First one,

we did it. And we did it. Yeah. And now we know we just have to like prepare something. We just need like a little bit of an outline for the brain dead one coming up, by the way, for anybody who doesn't have tickets if you're in that area, and that's the 24th of this month. Martin Stewart, that'll be easy

because if we're saying, ah, I can just go, Martin, you ever? Yeah. Eat McDonald's and he'll be like, dude, dude. So yeah, that was awesome. I think the only thing I watched that whole day

was trapped under ice, who are the biggest band in the world. They're the biggest British hardcore band ever. Biggest British hardcore band trapped under ice. They were the real headlines, I will say. They played a perfect set. It was fucking awesome. Everyone

on stage who was watching were in other British bands and like involved in the set or whatever. The fucking security was stage diving. It was like that level of like cool. It was really fun. They're that. They've been that band in the UK since the moment they started. Yeah. That was really... They've headlined outbreak five different times. so you would, you know, their royalty there, you would, you would think.

Yeah. And it was, it was fucking unreal. Yeah, it was awesome. And then I don't know about you, but I watched Denzel Curry, who was the headliner of the last day of the fest. It was fucking. I saw a couple of tracks. Yeah, it was sick.

So it's definitely their goal with, with like, you know, mixing hip hop and hardcore did work. It did work. Yeah. There is a lot of crossover there. Yeah. But the accommodations you have to make for hip-hop artists is very different. Of course.

You know, there's whole floors that had to be sectioned off for certain artists and stuff. And those are the things where ethically, when the people that in the bands that like built the fest, you know, where the fest was built on their backs. playing, opening for higher power. In that fucking outbreak book that Nat Wood did old Wondergirl photo Yeah. Like they're the fucking They're like second to last page

And it looks fucking insane. And so You just got we got it you got to treat The guys and the girls that That uplift the local scene With what they deserve Yeah. Yeah. But overall

Overall, we thank them for having us. I do want to express that. Thank you for having us. It was very special. We've never done, this is new for us. It's all new. Yeah. Beautiful evening in Manchester Sunday.

Loved it. What did we eat? Oh, was that Miller and Carter? That was that day. No. It was to celebrate. Yeah, I think, no, it wasn't. That was Saturday.

Okay. How do we celebrate it? What do we? Oh, dude, the Chinese place. Oh my God. How awesome was that fucking waitress, that lady? What was it called? Oh, no.

It's on the same. Okay, if you're in Manchester, it's on the same street as K2. It's like next door. Yeah. And it has a big yellow sign. It was like drag neon dragons and shit. Hold on. I'll have it in a second.

The waitress was like fucking doing like bits on us. Dude, she was unreal. She was so fucking funny. She's from Hong Kong. Dude, you're not going to believe this. What? On Google Maps, it's called Manchester Chinese restaurant. Fuck yeah.

I mean, it should be. It's the one, dude. It's the one. If you're in Manchester, you go to the Chinese restaurant. It's literally called, and I'm not, this is, oh, it's called A plus. A plus. A plus. That's what it was. A plus.

A plus. A plus. Dude. Outstanding, dude. The duck was unreal. The hot pot was unreal. Unreal. There were things.

When we were, we would be like, how's this? She'd be like, yeah. Yeah, she would be like, that's for English people.

That's not Chinese. And we'd be like, okay, man, what do you get? And she's like, get the fucking. The hot pot.

The hot pot, the pork thing and the duck. Yeah. Dude, the duck. You guys ordered another one. We got another duck. Two died,

two ducks. Yeah. Unbelievable. And it's important to point out that this was like midnight. One a. Yeah. And they were open and they were, it was, they were swinging in there.

There were people in there eating. And it was so fucking good. That lady was awesome. I loved her. I loved A plus Chinese restaurant in Manchester, UK. Was that, I mean, that and Archies were the two best. Yeah. Local eateries, but shout out, bold street coffee.

Bold Street coffee. If you're in Manchester, that's the one. We went to all. That's the one. Yeah, we went. If you're feeding for a cold brew in Manchester, it's Boltzree. Yeah.

They were really cool. They were really nice. I left a really good Google review. If you get the Scottish guy doing your order, you're going to have a great day. Great time. Then we had kind of a hellish day. Getting after our beautiful evening in Manchester. Yeah.

The next day to London. I had a way to take. I loved Sunday in Manchester, you know. Yes. I think that that really made it feel like. okay we did it you know yeah it's a great feel like the trip was like purposeful yeah I agree yeah it was cool um so then we had to take a train back to London which also left early yeah same fucking thing didn't sleep again I'm I've not slept in eight days at this at this point

like no hyperbole yeah you were fucked up it was crazy you were fucked up oh wait no no wait wait wait wait wait wait you did sleep one of those things once in it fun but it was like I gave that ZMA stuff and you were like, dude. It was 10 p.m. to 2 p.m. I slept. Yeah. You slept. So that,

that, I slept too good, you know? Yeah, it fucked you up. Yeah, yeah. So it ruined me. Yeah. I think that was Wednesday to Thursday. Yeah. So Thursday was not a day I needed to like.

Right. Be on for any reason. But, you know, great. That was the night I slept. And then I could never sleep again. We took a two-hour train back to London. Which is great that they had. have that. Yeah, it was awesome. We took a tube to the Heathrow Express, which then took us to

Heathrow. What are we doing right now? Give us a follow up. You're going home. Hopefully sleeping someday. Change school. Bakerloo. Circle. District. And then we had to get on the tram there to get to our terminal where the hotel was. And then not and then so I we parted ways here. Yeah. You took a quick nap on my floor. Oh, that was a good nap. Here's a picture of it. Destroyed my fucking...

I did. I ripped the cushion off, and it was like, damn, this is pretty good. I'm good to sleep. And I was down to the counter. Dude, the bus. So you know how in America, for one, the shuttle buses from hotels to the airport are free to begin

with. They're six pounds in the UK. Seriously? And they're every hour. I don't. Every hour. I missed it. And they were like, there'll be another one in an hour. And I was like, what? And dude, dude, that, the Eurohortel was in Terminal 4, right?

Yeah. Yeah. To get to Terminal 3, I had to walk a mile and then take a train that took 20 minutes. Because you probably had to go around, right? How can that be? I don't know. I don't know. Is it that big?

It's an airport. It's like the, it's like the busiest airport on Earth you would imagine. Dude, you'd think they'd have a way to like, oh, I could just walk right there. I'm good. If you're at the wrong terminal in Heathrow, kill yourself. It's easier. It's easier than taking the train to get to the other terminal. Sean and I loosely planned to, like, go to the airport and, like, eat.

But then I realized, like, I called, and the only thing, I would have to go through security to do that, basically, to eat it, like, the Gordon, Ramsey restaurant. Oh, that would have been fun. Right, but you have to go through security. And I don't even think you can without a boarding pass. Right. You know, so that wasn't going to happen. So we stayed at the hotel, uh, ate a lovely meal, went back hours later for dessert. Yeah. Oh, you did. Yeah, we did. That's awesome. Sean indulged. And it was, it was a very pleasant evening. I slept, you know, and then I flew home. And now, And now, Colin, is the part of the episode where we're going to talk about manscaped. You know, the crop reviver kept me refreshed this whole time. I wasn't sleeping at all, so I needed to be revived in some way.

And you were like, there were, again, we say this all the time, but like, you would, we would head out after, like, I would have napped and you couldn't. And you'd be like, it's okay. I revived. I'm good. I'm good. Yeah. It just goes to show you. Lift.

Do a little lift. A little lift. Underneath. Two sprays, you're good, dude. I'll spray some of my face. I don't care. And when you ripped your pants. Oh, thank God I had my Manscape 2.0 Boxer Brief song.

Dude, I was vibing. Chill. Yeah, yeah, okay, good. The next, you'd see, it would be like at nighttime and I'd be like, you'd hear like a siren. You'd be like, that was interesting. And then the next day, you'd see the Harley Davidson window had, was like, had one smash attempts.

Here's the thing. Looting is dope. You know? Yeah. I would 100% do it. And you see, you see the like, the people that are talking about what's going on in France being a bad thing is like Ben Shapiro type. The French Ben Shapiro's are all like, you see what the immigrants are doing. Yeah.

Shut the fuck up. Yeah. Shut up. Every successful economy was founded on the backs of immigrants. Of immigrants. And now, you know, you fuck with them long enough. Like French Revolution history, you know? Yeah.

France was built on revolting. Okay. And if we're in the midst of another one, so be it. I hope the revolutionaries win, frankly, after what I've seen. You know, it was very reminiscent of like things that have happened in America the past couple years. Gotcha. I see. So, yeah.

Shout out. Shout out to, shout out France. I've felt, I was, I had a great time. I've got a couple of anecdotes in here from, from France specifically.

First of all, do you remember how many times I said, I'm different to you during that week? I don't want to hear it. There were so many instances where you'd be like, huh, I'd never, that doesn't happen when I do that.

And it was just like, I'm different. And just so you guys know, Colin and I have not talked about any of this. No, this is me telling, telling Bo about France live. Just really breaking down what it's like to be in Europe from my eyes.

So the first thing we really do, the main event here, Lana's favorite movie is Amelie. Yeah. Which is like a perfect movie. So we went to Montmart. Oh, yeah. I've stayed there before. Where Amelie takes place.

Mount Martyr, as I've come to realize it's name. named, which is fucking badass. The story is kind of sick. Fake as hell, but like, cool. Did you climb up all the fucking stairs? Did it all. Did it all.

The John Wick four stairs, baby. Yeah. Bad ass. So we did the Omley tour and at one point in the tour, our tour guide, Hugo, this French guy, the French like art student was like, this is, yes, this is, uh, he would, he would, he would, he would start everything with like, I wanted to show you this here because, you know, Serge from Beverly Hills Cop. Yeah.

It was basically like he was guiding me around Paris. So Serge from Beverly House Cop was like, I want to show you this piece here because, you know, I think it's interesting because this is where Picasso painted some of his works, but you'll see it's been graffiti because he is a rapist. And he's like, yes, we've been trying to figure out if we want to, you know, if we should cancel Picasso, you know. I guess that's like the big thing that's going on right now.

Okay. Because Picasso was like actually a scumbag. I had no idea. My laughter was one of shock. Oh, it's crazy. I never knew that. And I think, like, he said they're planning to do, like, an actual exhibit at the Picasso Museum about, like, the women whose lives he ruined.

Holy shit. I know. Okay. And we're in third grade being taught, like, yo, Picasso was the goat. Yeah. And then, meanwhile. Peace of shit. I guess.

Um, that was really fun, though. We saw, like, the big landmarks from the movie. We watched that movie damn near every day. We alternate that and ratatouille. So we're in the right place, baby. Yeah. We're living both. On her birthday, which was the next day.

And we had a 5 p.m. reservation for a place called LeBee, 5 p.m. Okay. Now, Beau, when we got there, we learned they open at 6. Okay. Yeah. I'm ready to, I'm there, and I'm, like yeah you're yeah it's a mass full this is day 10 for me yeah yeah yeah and and like the looks i'm getting trying to open the door by the people inside i'm like i'm gonna kill every more one of you

motherfathers i will come back and you will die by my head you'll all die by my hand because it's her birth it's her 30th birthday yeah big one in 5 p.m. reservation we're waiting all day for this fucking piece of shit steak. It was awful. Really? Lebeef sucked my dick. But yeah, they eventually we got in and they were like, we open at six. It was a, it was a bug in the system.

Oh, dude. We were sitting next to this little fucker. A little, a little French kid is like my new thing I hate. Oh, okay, perfect. A little French kid, the worst. Get out of here. He was, so in France, the sea. eating every time we went anywhere, it was like, you're sitting next to two couples.

So one was two girls from Japan, disappointingly trying to order an ice coffee. So I was like, that that's family, dude. Cold brew is from Kyoto, Japan, 1600s. Shout out Kyoto. Shout out Japan. They understand our plight when we're traveling here. So they're like, no ice coffee. And the guy was like, no, we don't have that.

And they were like devastated. And I looked over and I was like, damn near. Yeah. It was close to tears. This little fucker, dude. So I got the ribby xxel. It's called. Of course.

I see that on the menu. I'm like, yeah, duh. It's like 20 ounces or something. It's like 18 ounces. Yeah. And this kid keeps yelling to his mom. Oh, my, my ex, X, X, X, X, and he's pointing at me. And he's pointing at me.

Fuck you. I wrote, dude, this is, I wrote in my notes here, World War II vibes. And let me explain. Please.

She wants to go back, and there was towards the end, I was like, hey, I ain't going anywhere. Like, this was my week of traveling for leisure ever. Yeah. I'm done. I'm retired. I'm out. So you flew home. What did you watch?

I watched the Fablements. Right. I saw you post. Dude. Loved it. Devastated. I didn't see it in theaters, really. And then I watched The Favorite,

which is like a horny, Emma Stone, Olivia Coleman, who I love and Rachel Weiss, who everybody loves. It was good. It was a lot to watch on a plane. And you know,

you know, when you're, the girl in the aisle next to me was just like, really? To my TV. the whole time. Dude, mind your fucking business. No, I just put the subs on.

Okay. Like, I, you know, we're watching the favorite. Okay, here's the subs. Dude, my flight home, I didn't tell you this. How to go. Okay. There were four,

it was 40 rows. 40, like, it went to seat row 40, right? Sure. Was it 3.4.3? It was 333. All the way across. Okay.

Red flag. Guess who was 40L? 40 window. You were? Bowen looters, baby. I was the last person on and off of that plane. It was... Dude, you can pick your seat.

Is that all that there was, dude? It was the most packed flight with a child. There was a child screaming so badly that the flight attendants were like, what can we do? Yeah. This child was screaming. Shut the fuck up.

Yeah. Shut the fuck up. Yeah, it was a fucking crazy. Made friends with the guy next to me. Just because you hated that baby so much? Yeah, yeah, we were both like... What the fuck is this baby's deal?

I know. But then got through customs, thanks to this digital passport shit, I got through, I got, for anybody who's flown back in Chicago and gone through that customs line, it's awful.

And I, was through in 30 seconds. What did daddy show you? Daddy showed me. And I'm daddy. And Colin is daddy and baby is very happy. I got through in 30 seconds. Like I literally, he was like, I showed him my thing.

He took my picture and he said, welcome home. And like, that was it. It was fucking perfect. The MPC mobile passport control app. You can do the landing card and all the whole exam. It's basically like a one-time global entry, which I now have. Oh, you got it?

Got it, dude. When you apply for global entry, you get conditionally approved. If you are conditionally approved and you fly internationally, when you land from your international flight, you can do the global entry interview at the airport. Really?

Yeah. I could have just done it then. You could have just done. Well, they close at like 8 p.m. Oh, okay. I landed late. So, yeah, you wouldn't have been able to do it. I was there.

They closed at 9 at LAX. I was in line at 8.30. So it was like... So you did it. I was barely made it, but I'm a global enterer now. I'm going to enter so many fucking globes. Good for you, dude.

You're not going to believe it. What was the first thing you ate when you got home? I haven't. Oh, dude. Well, I didn't eat at night. Yeah. I took the longest Uber home. Jumping for joy, basically.

Yeah. But today? Yeah, what did you have? I went to, I went to Hank's bagels, baby. How many bagels? I had two. But, like, I haven't eaten again.

I'm gonna go to in and out as soon as we wrap. Yeah, I'm starving. I've been thinking about it all day. But dude, how much weight did you lose? Very valid point. We were over there. We were eating fucking trash. Yeah.

And my pants were loose. Dude. And like getting looser. I can show you live on the show. Uh-oh. That's my belt loop. this one. Holy shit.

This is where I am now. Eating fucking pizza and pasta every day. Yo, we're eating trash over there and we're losing weight. So I don't know what's going on. Well, we're walking 20,000 steps a day. Yeah, I guess. They'd be walking, man. I guess.

I also think they're just eating different shit. There's no corn syrup. There's something. Is it corn syrup? Is that what it is? It's got to be part of it. It's portion sizes. I mean.

Yeah, but I just ordered. another entree. Yeah. Yeah, true. I ate fucking, like, breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert every day for two weeks. Yeah.

And I'm down a significant amount of weight. I'm probably down like 10 pounds. And I was there for eight days. Yeah. You know. Why? What? Okay.

Let me tell you. There's something I forgot to tell you. I asked our France hotel about a laundry service. Okay. I said, yeah, fill up a bag. And I was like, ah, you know, this could be expensive. So I'll just do my shirts.

I've got enough underwear, but I'm out of shirts. Yeah. I put nine shirts in there. Okay. What do you think that cost me? 20 euro. 91 euros to wash nine shirts at a hotel in Paris. Is it like dry cleaned?

It's just wash and dry. That's what it costs to use a fucking. dryer in Paris. I was sick to my stomach. Holy shit. So you know I've been doing all day. Running my dryer, no clothes in it, just for fun. Just to fucking stick it to.

Drinking so much ice. The first thing I did, here's a video of me ordering my coffee in the morning. Good morning. Can I get a Trenta cold brew with a double shot and oat milk? your hair looked great by the oh yeah it looked insane I was on my I was on my Harold Ramos vibe yeah yeah um

why the fuck our beans put on toast because it's fucking incredible dude Dude, and the other thing, too, for those of you who haven't tried it, it's not just like, it's not Pinto beans. No, they're baked. It's like baked beans. They're curated to go with the toast, you know? And in like a tomato sauce. It's like delicious, dude.

Did I say that? What's the weirdest thing on your Spotify saved songs? I don't use the weirdest? Yeah, exactly. Good point, brother. The Pete faint vocal warmup that I used to use for switching tongues was my top artist. for like 10 years in a row. The...

How is McPlant? Take it away, Bo. Awful. Dog shit. It sucked, dude. Like, and I'm not even saying this as, like, meat eater guy, but, like, it's worse.

It's a Boca burger. Yeah, it's awful. It was just a Boca burger. It was not good. Was the food in the UK still as bad as they make it seem? Here's the thing. As you found with France,

if you take your time, you'll find something good. But here's the thing, even at the places that were good that I went to in the UK. Yeah. The entree would be good. The sides were chite, mate.

Yeah. UK don't got sides. Other than the full English breakfast. The full English and like mushy peas. I love mushroom. And mushy peas were where they went hard. And that's the thing is like here you can, I can go up to division,

throw a fucking rock and I'm going to hit some good food. It's ever. I can't wait to throw rocks. It's just, I don't know, dude. I don't know what is. You can throw a rock here. You know? Yeah.

Yeah. We have that, right? You can't throw rocks in London. They'll get you. Luden's ass, was the bathrooms clean? Not when I was finished in him, brother. Dude, when we, where we ate with Chubby, the bathroom was foul.

And that was like a posh chippy place. It was like a, yeah, like a bullshit chip. It was repulsive. And it was disgusting. Dude, one thing I will say, though, that they have, especially at the airport, Florida ceiling walls on the salt. Love, love the full stall. I mean, my own little bathroom.

Love the full stall. I got that right. Oh, I forgot. I ate at a place called Mayfair Chippy in London. Gangster. Nice. Unbelievable. And it's like that. I love a good, a good chippy dude. Me too. Those were, I had a great time every time.

I burned the fuck out of my mouth every time, but I had a great time. I didn't. You know why? I'm different. What's your favorite French word? Le Poupoo. Yeah, what was, what was that? Dude, I passed five different places. of different purposes, all called pooh or le pooh.

The place is crazy, man. Favorite French word is brazzaree, because it means I'm eating steak. Oh, dude, you know what's cool? In Montmart, there's the first bistro ever. I ate there. You did? Did they explain the origin to you? No.

That it was invaded by Russian soldiers. Like after the war? Yeah, like that area. And bistro, I guess, is like fast in Russian. They'd be like, we need fast food. Bistrobe. Bestro. Huh.

And that's why they're called that. Interesting. Okay. I like it. Evil Wizard asks, what's roadside records? Can we, it's... It's an ancient society. It's an ancient society.

We didn't invent it. No. But... It's not ours to share. Ask me in person, maybe I can tell you. Yeah. It's not... A lot of bands on that.

There's a lot of bands on that label. Who had the best set of the weekends? weekend. Probably high Viz. High Viz and T UI, I would say? In TUI, yeah, yeah, I would say. Just in terms of, like, objectively, you know? Yeah.

HyViz got the hometown pop. That any band would want any. Oh, my God. And then TUI is like the biggest band ever in the UK. They played so good, too. Yeah. They're amazing. Did you see Rattatooie?

I ate Rattatooie. Oh, what did you think? I've never had it. It's like a bunch of different vegetables that are in like a marinera type thing, like a cold marinera. And then, oh, it's cold? Yeah, it's cold. When I ate it, it was cold. And it just made, it's like a bunch of different vegetables that all end up tasting the same because they're like marinated in this broth.

I didn't like it. No. But why would I? That's not for me. I tried it to be like, hey, I ate ratatooey. Yeah, yeah. It's tomatoes a key and like something else, right? Squash.

It was fine. Yeah. It was fine. I ate at the the diner that she works at in Amelie. Oh, really? That's where I tried it. It was awful. The place was awful.

But it was cool to be there. How many trips to Euro McDonald's were had? Just the one. Yeah, I think we only had the ones. Yeah. But we had everything, so that counts. Give us an update on the AC crisis. Let's see.

We. I mean, you know what's so funny is like, if you get on a CTA train in Chicago, if you get on the L, it's cold as a mother phone. It's air con. Dude, those trains are sweltering. The tube? The tube is sweltering. Yeah. No, it was hot.

Our rooms were good, though. Rooms were okay. Yeah, they weren't. Yeah, you're right. It was still like, at 3 a.m., you'd be like, ooh, a little toast. Yeah, it's a little spicy. And none of the ACs make noise? Yeah, it's just like, man.

I want the fan. I need the fan. Need it. Give me a slum or a rumble. The thermostat in the Manchester Hotel was hilarious because it wasn't a thermostat. It was there were five options. And it was hot, less hot, nothing, cold, more cold. And then fan speed.

No numbers, nothing. Yeah. Just a button. Top three upcoming UK bands. Jesus. High Viz. Chisel. Chisel.

What was that? The Scottish man that played, DOP. They were cool. Demonstration of power. I think they were all. Yeah, yeah, yeah, right, right, right. I forgot.

Yeah, they forgot what that meant. What is the minimum acceptable ass to shelf height ratio to shit on? The shelf should not exist. There's no need for it. There's no function. We figured it out in America. You know what's funny is in England,

they have the reverse shelf. Yeah. So like you crap into a well You know that dead the dirt album? Yeah The album art Yeah That's what the British toilets were like

Yeah yeah yeah just It's just a deep chasm Casim eventually you're like Oh there it is Why would they have you shit on a shelf? I don't it makes no sense You shit outside of the water So that you can tell if it stinks or what

What's the purpose? What is the purpose? fucking stupid, man. Oh, my God. It's maddening. But I didn't get a single shelf. No, no, I didn't either. And I thought, for some reason, I thought that the UK had them.

No, no. But I didn't see any. They did have separate cold and hot, and that drove me insane. Yeah, yeah. Mexican food, you getting salsa verde or salsa roha? I'm a Verde guy. Same. Yeah.

Sometimes I'll alternate for fun, you know. See, yeah, sometimes. But I love a lime cilantro. Oh, dude. Lime with Verde. get the fuck out of my face. But like El Pastor, I feel like is a, is a, is a roha. And it's funny, too, if I get like enchiladas, I usually get it with Roja.

See, I love a bare-day enchilada. That's weird. Everybody's, I'm different, you know? How much would someone have to pay either of you to live in the UK? I mean, like 150 grand a year, anyway, what it costs to live there? Yeah, not that much. It's a lovely place. I love being there.

The people are fucking... Dude, I mean, public transportation blows my mind. Yeah, it's really good. And it's not also like the national rail lines. Like, you can get anywhere. Like, we have Amtrak here, but if you take an Amtrak to Seattle, it's like five grand. No, yeah. It's crazy expensive.

For 200 pounds, you can... That train from London to Manchester stops in every other major city on the way. Yeah. So it's like, that's like you can go from L.A. to San Francisco in two hours. Because it's a five-hour drive. Right. So it's the same thing. It's really cool.

It's cool. The public transport, I really wish I could live with that. But I also, you know, having a car is like sick. Yeah. But no, I would live in England. Maybe not forever, but I would definitely live in England. Yeah, same. I got no. The people are fucking amazing.

Oh, love them. Amazing. Love them. Just small differences. Yeah. what's the health looking like on those pants, both the ripped one and the one with the ricotta ball sauce on it. Oh, brother.

Dude, that was brutal. The ripped one, they're done. They're done. Game over. They did rip on a seam this time, but it's who my boy Ralph is going to swap him for me again.

No kidding. Yeah, he's got me. The other one was like, it was like, all right, as long as I don't ruin these pants, we're good.

Yeah. And then I went to get pasta at first night in London at some dog shit place. And an entire ball of recatting. I just went. I love ricotta. I was, and then like, there's these posh ladies

next to me and I was like pouring club soda on it. And it was, it was ricoching all my fans on of them. They hated me. How psyched are you to have ice in your drinks again? Brother.

And I, I think I've already put in the video the huge coffee I had. It was huge. It's unbelievable, dude. Did you eat? It's just ice.

What? Somebody. I'm just, I'm just saying, it's just ice. It's just nice. It's just. It's just ice.

It's really nice to have your drink. Dude, one of the best ways I think it's ever been summed up is in an episode of Seinfeld when George and Jerry are eating with Elaine's dad. And George asked for like a juice with very, with no ice. Yeah. Or very little ice. And then Elaine's dad says, Scotch on the rocks with plenty of ice or whatever, whatever he orders. And George goes, you like ice?

And he goes, like it. Like it. Because that's the attitude. Eyes are about, yeah. Why wouldn't I like it? It's to make my beverage cold, of course. Nando's rocks. Did you eat Nando's?

Yeah. Good God, did we? Loved it. Yeah, half chicken. Love the half chicken. Got to get the half chicken. The size is fine. Yeah, the sides kind of whatever.

The chips are fine. UK, don't got sides. Yeah, you're right. You're right. Interesting. Top four records. That's this. many things.

Why do you think the youth hasn't embraced Atlanta band Foundation? Do you think that? No. I think Foundation is properly rated by all age groups. It's like they're held in like the animals of hardcore. As somebody who watched

Foundation on that comeback kid tour they did. Yeah. I couldn't believe the sendoff they got. You know? I was, we played their last show in Atlanta and it was fucking insane. So I think the youth are embracing just fine. Yeah, that's strange.

Magnitude exists because, you know what I mean? Like they've started, they inspired bands to start. Exactly. Yeah. Dude, top album guitar tones. That's fun. Oh, that's a good one. Sepuletura KSED is like a perfect heavy guitar tone.

You play Slave New World. You hear that. No, no, no, no, the feedback. I would say top three for me. Mm-hmm. Pro immortal form. Mm-hmm. To...

The palm mutes on that opening song are... Peers, suffocation, pierce from within. Okay. Earth Crisis destroy the machines. Wow. It's pretty good. Mm-hmm. Those chugs are deep.

Very deep. There's depth. I'll say Chaos AD. I'll say the black album. I truly think that like Saddictrue is like an undeniable guitar tone. What? That's God's hates like bit practice song. Really?

Like before we do anything, we rip Sabatru. And then we make that, it'll be like, da-da-da-no. That's fun. We have fun. And I want to say probably bolt thrower. like for death metal stuff or maybe dude maybe fucking

cannibal corpse like scorched like scorched barn like that's a clean that's a clean heavy yes you love a clean heavy yeah yeah I gotcha what's the best spot you ate at across the sea what was your favorite place we ate

Archies was like the best surprise Archie's I would say I think Obermama in Paris was my favorite and Marais Marais something Mm-hmm.

Master Killer, fried chicken, it's fucking Popeyes, dude. You think so? Yeah. Yeah. You know what we didn't talk about is all the vegan-only food at the fest. That's unacceptable.

We talked about it in the live thing, but... Yeah, you're right. Unacceptable. Does Hardlaw plan to do an episode in Pittsburgh during Code's World? Should we go to Codes World? Fuck, yeah.

I would love to go. Yeah. I'll go anywhere. I'll try where... I want to try the McDonald's where the first Big Mac was served. Oh, that's fun. Because that's in Pittsburgh.

That's fun. Why does the Gibson S.G. Get such a bad rep amongst hardcore? I hate it. You hate the way it looks or the way it feels? I hate the way it looks. I hate the way it feels. I hate the way it drops.

I hate like so much about it. I mean, you're going to play it with like two humbuckers, so it's not going to be that bad. Yeah. Looks dope. It looks, it's an iconic shape. I love the body,

Like, I love how it looks. Yeah, yeah. I guess. Did I say, I hate how it looks like 30 seconds ago? No, I, like, the necks are usually really thick and I don't like it. See, that's my problem. I don't like how the headstock will drop down. The first time I was so excited to play a regular SG.

Yeah. And then the bell rang, dude. And then I held that fucking neck and it was like, what am I supposed to do with this? Yep. I mean, this is a fucking table for me to eat at? Yeah. What is this for? It's absurd.

But the SG body, one of my favorites ever. It looks really cool. And obviously you can make it work, but I just, I've never liked them. I'm such a Les Paul guy. Somebody said, question's not for me, but I feel like the issue with Gibson's is that the headstock seems to crack or break kind of easily. Never happened to me? No. Gibson's are the best guitars in the world.

As long as they're like older than 1990. Yeah. The Les Paul is the best guitar ever. You don't care, right? I don't care Do you not know you not like Les Paul's or something? Who's we talking to that was like I don't like Les Paul?

Les Paul is the only guitar shape that I like love. There you go. Best guitar ever. Top five hardest moshers. I don't know, man. Hardest? Hardest.

John Scanlon. Brody King. Yeah. And then there's probably three guys that we don't know that are like in the shadows. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. I don't really think about that. Ain't nobody ripping pants like me.

That's the fact. It's on record. You know? It's many times. Nobody's doing that. Somebody said what streaming platform makes you guys the most mighty from the show? I don't want y'all to worry about that. Yeah, don't worry about that.

Consume it however you want to consume it. Don't worry about it. If you want to help us, you join the Discord. ask these questions. Yeah. You say hi, it shows. You maybe buy a shirt.

You join our what-nots and you hang out. Yeah, don't worry about, watch the show, however you see fit. That pirate. I don't care. Download. Yeah. Doesn't matter. Tell your friends.

That's how you can know this. Who cares? How do you all choose to recover or engage in self-care after travel? Wow. I typically will sit in this room that I'm in right now, order food, play like my comfort movies. or shows or like YouTube compilations.

I can't believe you have time to do that. And play a video game. Clurp, who asks that, I don't. I can't. My beloved Claire. Clurp, I don't have time to do any of that. So I don't care about myself.

I can't. I mean, you go to the gym. You do some... That's about all I can do. Yeah. I go to the gym and I eat. And you eat, yeah. That's all I can do.

I would love to sit here and not do a thing. you know, but it's fucking Santa Fury season, or, yeah, you know. Month.

We gotta get, we're getting, I got, I got, I got plans. Okay. So this is gonna, it's got to be good.

So it's gonna be a busy month. Yeah. I would love to just play a video game and not think about anything. You have a brain that is, can't do it. Different. I can't,

I'm different. I can't change. I'm trying, man. Is there any lore behind the Twitch and Tongues robe? Oh, yeah, that's a good point. I wanted to do something fun when we came back, when we did that Life and Death tour,

because it was our first tour in a year or two. So I asked Brody's first gear maker, who is a guy named Manuel Quiros. He lives in East L.A., makes clothes, out of his house for a bunch of luchadors. Sick. Went to him twice. He made both of them.

I still got both of them. One is like my Rick Flair one. One is my Undertaker one. Right. Just wanted to do something fun. That's really it. That's really it. There's no other thing.

But there was no like... No, New Japan. I was watching a lot of New Japan at the time. Okay. Entrance. Yeah. Things are very prevalent there. I just saw a clip where the great Muda is like

summoned by a genie bottle that gets smashed, like sick. Gimmings. Entrance gimmick. I wanted an entrance gimmick, you know? But you weren't like a character or something. No, no, no. There wasn't some. No. Okay.

Nope. You were not the preacher man. No, no. Favorite pro wrestling era. Attitude. Here's the thing. I got something. I'm enjoying.

Before you say it, I'll just give my answer. I'm enjoying right now quite a bit. But it's because I can like, experience it in a different way than when I was just a viewer. Right now is unbelievable, dude. Just the amount of great wrestling there is every single week.

The amount of friends we have that are out there week to week, change in shit is like the most special thing. You know? Yeah. Yeah. I'm enjoying it because I'm choosing to enjoy it. Whereas when I was younger,

I was like, Oh, well, I'm supposed to like stone cold. I'm supposed to like that, you know what I mean? Wrestling was my life as a child. It was the only, it was that in music. It was like, I'm going to be a wrestler. Yeah, right. It was my only aspiration, more so of music.

So now making music for wrestling in this era. Pretty cool. Dude, that's fucking, that's everything. I'm very excited for their Wembley show. I think that's going to be something really cool. I just want to shout out medicated duke wipes real quick which I traveled with this time

I used I brought three packs I used a pack and a half brother holy shit and I'm not I got zero chaf zero red raw dude I didn't need a bidet didn't miss my bidet at all

that's huge because I had the dude we gotta get the dude we gotta get If anybody at the dude wipes are listening. That would be awesome. We'll do this as the last question. What are your favorite?

And again, we want to frame a whole episode around this at some point. What are your favorite non-hardcore slash non-heavy music releases? Ever? I guess. I mean, one thing I really like about you, Colin, is that you are a consumer of music. Oh, dude, I love it. That, like, you're not, there are people in my life who only listen to. like some kind of heavy

sure whether it's punk or metal or industrial or whatever and like I can't do that yeah I can't do that um I made I've already cooked up this this fucking playlist man

that you will not believe it's too dangerous to put out of the world is how I feel about you know just your favorite song I think it yeah I think it's just like what I think think are like the best songs. I think it's too powerful. Let's see. What have I been listening to?

I listen to a form of Allison Chains every day. That's cool. I love, God, we've kind of already. We've done this. I love Abba. I love Kate Bush. I love Gaga. The fucking karaoke place didn't have Kate Bush.

Yeah, it's crazy. I love the Boston's baby. Yeah. I love it. I love me. some new wave. Morseo and Oasis really top the charts for me every day. I listen to Morrissey or Oasis

every single day of my life. Amazing. I'm diving in this month. Now that I'm like kind of reset and we're done traveling, I'm diving into other Oasis because I really only know the one. And I know that that's not right.

Yeah, it's not right. Well, that was a horrible more of your European vacation and and other facts. Any other anecdotes come to mind? I was trying to think. I'm just thinking about like our

like just like the little shit that you don't fucking, it's all the little differences that blow your mind. It's Frank Castle Punisher. Yeah. That was unbelievable. Castell. I can't they don't know how to

fucking walk over there. Oh my God, dude. It's crazy. It's crazy. They stop in the middle of the sidewalk if they're doing something. They just stop. They just stop. They don't move to the side or anything. They just halt. And like, listen, guys, your escalators when you're going up are on the left side. Yeah. Okay. For us, it's on the right side. So your your infrastructure is set up so that if you're moving, you're on the left. Yeah. So if you're walking on the sidewalk,

you should walk on the left. They don't. There's no... There's no order whatsoever. They're just fucking living, dude. It's crazy. And they're like famed for queuing, for waiting in lines.

They love cues, too. They love it. They love order. They love the king. I think what we came out of this with was an immense amount of gratitude. Yeah. For the people.

for the people at the fest who just talked to us, took pictures, bought shirts and stuff, just show, that was that what we now have proof. Mm, it's proof. Yeah, it's proof of concept.

We're doing something with this fucking thing. Yeah, something's working. And there's first, you know, we have the LA, the brain dead one coming up. I'm really excited about it.

Colin's got some great ideas for it. I do. Um, I'm really excited for it. And I think that that'll be the second seal of approval. and that, you know, hopefully, probably maybe, definitely maybe there's going to be more. And that's really fun.

Definitely maybe one in New York very soon. You'll see. Thank you all for listening. Thank you all for the kind words. Thank you, Manchester, for having us. Sunday was a beautiful day. We will never forget it. Any other representatives of countries or festivals want us?

Hit us up, man. Say the word. Yeah. We'll be there. Yeah. I think the one that we just got is insane. Yeah, I don't, we have to talk about that. We're going to talk about that as soon as we wrap because I forgot, honestly.

Sounds good. All right. Thank you all for watching. We love you so much. Bye.
