(00:46):
Hello and welcome to this week's episode of the Pain in Our Head podcast.
I'm really impressed you kept it together.
I could see this struggle.
Too tired, too tired for your shit today.
I was like I'm finally gonna get this prick, I'm gonna get him back and make him be the
(01:09):
one laughing like a dickhead at the start of the episode.
I could see it, I could see the struggle.
It was like...
That was good, that was pretty good.
I wish the recording started a little earlier just so I could clip that.
Piece of shit.
(01:30):
It'll be forever ingrained in my brain.
Anyway.
Living rent free.
Yeah, it will be.
Lots to talk about this week.
I'm gonna talk about a band that I saw last week.
We're gonna cover off some music, some other shit talk and we're talking about being overwhelmed.
(01:52):
And how much of a shit fight that can be sometimes.
I hate being overwhelmed.
Hate it.
So anyway, I saw on Instagram before.
I don't know, I saw earlier today.
Surprise, surprise.
It was something different.
(02:13):
Yeah, I spammed you with a lot of reels this afternoon.
It was good.
It did, yeah.
So this one, it was like...
So I'm gonna ask you this question and it's from kind of made it from this reel.
Anyway, if the world was ending, but you've got enough time to listen to one more song.
(02:33):
For fuck's sake.
What's that song gonna be?
God damn, that's bull.
You can't put me on this.
It's tricky, hey.
I don't like that.
It's tricky, hey.
Fuck.
Yeah, I've got nothing.
You got nothing?
Yeah, no.
There's too many choices.
Way too many choices.
Yeah.
It was really hard.
I was trying to think about it and I couldn't come up with anything either.
(03:08):
The reel had some guy driving along and the question popped up and then it's like, I'm
cranking this and it starts playing the Katina Ben song from Star Wars.
I was like, yeah, yeah, that'd be the way I'd want to go out.
(03:29):
You just drive it off.
That's it.
You're listening to that.
So I thought that would be pretty cool.
I wonder if that's on Spotify.
I want to add it to the playlist.
It would be.
Yeah, it will be.
Add it.
I will.
Yeah, fucking add it.
There's some great music in Star Wars.
Imperial March.
Yeah.
I had those my ringtones for so long.
(03:52):
It was a funny joke in The Family Guy Star Wars where they dig on, I think, Hans Zimmer
for coming in and taking over one of the films.
And yeah, because I should know this, but I can't think of the main composer.
(04:14):
Oh, this is killing me.
I know this.
I don't.
This is like my shit.
I love music production and shit and I can't even think of his name.
That's going to kill me.
He's done a stupid amount of work.
Really, really good work too.
(04:35):
John Williams?
John Williams.
Yeah.
John Williams is one.
I thought there was another.
Maybe it wasn't Hans Zimmer that I was thinking about.
It's been John Williams.
I think that's who they made the joke about actually.
I can't remember.
It's been so long since I've seen Family Guy Star Wars.
(04:56):
Really good.
John Williams has composed nearly all of the music heard in the Star Wars films.
Oh, okay.
There we go.
Interesting.
It's really cool.
And you did the stuff at Harry Potter.
Yes.
Yes, he did.
(05:17):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Great music in that too.
Really enjoy the music in Harry Potter.
Favorite score?
The Dark Knight.
And it's not because I'm biased about that.
It's not.
Listen to the score.
(05:39):
It's top notch.
I think it won an award.
I'm pretty sure it did.
Yeah, it's a really good score.
Anyway.
Moving on.
You've got me looking now, so fuck you.
(06:03):
You're determined to find out.
It looks like John Williams did the original ones.
Plus the... all the way up to 2019.
Okay.
There we go.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.
Yeah, he did all nine movies.
(06:25):
He did all of them.
There we go.
I thought it was someone else.
I thought there was one other that did one movie or something like that, but...
Useless.
Apparently not.
Anyway.
Cantina Band.
Good song.
Cantina Band.
Hey, yeah, Cantina.
The Cantina Band.
I call them the Cantina Band.
(06:45):
Little Boy, Little Morning.
There's a 10 hour loop on YouTube.
I know that.
Fuck.
There's also a 24 hour Gandalf Euro Pop nod loop.
How long do you reckon you can get through?
(07:10):
If the goal was to get to the end of the... have you done it?
Have you gone 24 hours of it?
Have you?
I have done the 24... no, not the 24.
I've done the 12 hour loop in one gaming session.
I just opened it and YouTube had it playing in the background and then just proceeded
(07:31):
to play nothing but Dota 2 without playing in the background.
You must fettle in the viewers.
I'm not ashamed.
I wasn't streaming.
Oh, okay.
It looked fair enough.
It is pretty good.
I think I could probably get through 30 minutes, so I'd get bored.
(07:55):
Nah, bullshit.
Same as the, uh, we're taking the Hobbits to Isengard.
Oh, that I could listen to for a week straight, I reckon.
Yeah.
That's... that's good.
Now I've got that Europop nod stuck in my head.
There you go.
(08:16):
That's what I'm going out to.
That's my last song.
That's it.
That's your song.
All I can picture is Gandalf just like...
Oh, some good choices there.
Yeah, blame us a comment.
I'd love to know if you're listening, watching what you would listen to in your last moments.
(08:43):
Very touching.
Probably wrong.
But no one's listening?
No, no.
Whatever songs I suggest, they're wrong.
Oh, right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean...
If it's not Europop nod, then you're wrong.
It could be something that we haven't thought of.
(09:03):
Anyway.
Look at my horse.
I'll leave it to them.
Yeah.
No cock like horse cock.
Cock like horse cock.
I did a 12 hour loop of that.
Fuck, I'd be down for that.
Oh shit.
Anyway, I saw a bad flower last week.
(09:24):
It was like a week ago now.
I made it a bad flower.
Why wasn't it a good flower?
They're not good flowers.
They're bad flowers.
Yeah.
They were really good.
They were awesome.
Unbelievable.
Really enjoyed it.
Great show.
It was their first tour over in Australia.
(09:47):
Oh yeah?
Yeah.
Did they get chlamydia from some koalas?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They were like all the overseas bands when they come, they always end up putting on their
socials pictures of holding koalas.
Koalas.
Koalas.
Koala.
Koala.
(10:08):
Why do you pick on me for how I say koala?
I just expect, I don't know, you've been to Queensland, I expect you to hear the koala.
Koala.
Is it koala?
Koala.
Koala.
Koala.
(10:28):
Koala.
I've already asked this.
I feel like I've been in too much deja vu here.
Anyway, the bad flower were amazing.
They were really good.
Incredible live.
Did you get in the pit?
No, I didn't get that far in.
Throw some hands.
(10:49):
Yeah, throw some heat crowd surf.
That was pretty cool.
He jumped off stage, he came through.
Oh, have you?
Yeah.
I crowd surfed at Metallica.
Anyone catch you?
They just picked me up in the crowd.
Oh, they picked you up in the crowd.
Yeah.
Okay, you didn't jump off stage or anything.
I thought you were going to say.
(11:09):
Like you'd be able to get on stage with Metallica.
Well, not Metallica, but I thought you might've been talking about one of your shows.
No, no, no, I crowd surfed in the crowd at Metallica.
They just fucking picked me up and fucking away.
Off you went.
Fuck you!
Before you knew it, you're on the other side of the fucking pit.
Basically, it was like I was at the front of the fucking security fence and then I was
(11:31):
at the back of the pit and I was just like, yeah.
Fuck.
It's just like, all right, time to fucking lock and load.
Let's go, bitches.
Help us up.
It's like fucking let's go, cunts.
Knees up.
Do it to my knees as you're rolling through.
Fucking storm between the pits like fuck.
(11:52):
Don't clip that, you fucking asshole.
How does that go again?
You can't clip that one because I said the C word.
I'll find a way.
(12:12):
Wait, there's a will, there's a way.
Can you just stop beeping out the C word and use like a fucking rubber d-
I've stopped beeping it out.
I'll just let it fly.
No, beep it out with something cool.
I'll think about it.
Anyway.
In Metalocalypse, they use like a guitar pinch harmonic.
(12:33):
Oh, that'd be pretty cool.
I'm here for that.
This is how they make executive decisions in regards to the podcast, which is shit talk
(12:53):
and something stupid comes up and we're like, hey, let's do it.
That's the one.
They were awesome.
They were really, really cool.
Had a lot of energy and he didn't talk a lot.
We had that conversation about overseas bands coming over and talking to an Australian crowd
like we've never heard anyone talk before.
(13:14):
But he didn't, so that was cool.
I played pretty much everything I would have wanted them to, which is awesome.
Maybe like two songs.
I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I paid 70 bucks for my ticket.
(13:37):
The merch was expensive.
Fucking merch is a rift these days.
I remember when you used to go to like a fucking Soundwave and you're like, yeah, 25 bucks
for a fucking shirt.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fucking luck these days.
No, no.
Yeah, 50, 60.
You're not even going to get a fucking beanie or a cap.
Hoodies were like 100, 120.
(13:58):
Yeah, yeah.
It's all like the, I know that the bright side where we went to, they take a cut.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So when I went and saw caskets there a little while ago, they had the option.
They were like, oh, if you want, you can do a tip and the tip goes actually straight
(14:21):
to the band.
It doesn't like, you know, the, they won't take a cut of it or whatever.
So I think I ended up doing it.
So their merch was a lot cheaper though, considerably cheaper than what Bad Flowers were.
So I didn't get anything, but enjoyed the show.
Really, really good.
Anyway, moving on.
Yeah, well I'm going to see Parkway next month in about a month, just over a month.
(14:46):
That'd be cool.
Yeah.
I haven't seen Parkway.
Yeah I missed out on seeing them before they got big.
They did a PCYC gig back in Bundy.
Oh yeah.
It was still unknown.
Like they were just a bunch of surfy dudes from Byron Bay.
And yeah, they did an all ages gig at the PCYC.
(15:07):
Yeah well.
And I didn't go.
And then yeah, now if I could look at them, they're huge.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They're good.
I don't really know a lot of their stuff off the top of my head, but I've heard a
fair bit of it.
I've listened to the two songs that I told you to.
Which ones?
I sent you the other day when I was at work, I told you to listen to Swing and Wild Eyes.
(15:33):
By Parkway?
Yeah.
I've heard, would you say Wild Eyes?
Yeah.
Yeah I've heard that one.
Because they both got really cool drum lines to them.
Yeah that one sounds familiar.
No, actually no, I did listen to these.
Yeah well sometimes I just do things and forget about it.
(15:54):
You know, I get sidetracked.
Anyway, let's talk about being overwhelmed.
Yeah.
Great.
Let's talk about being overwhelmed.
What is being overwhelmed?
When things get too much and it hurts you feelings.
Is that what you reckon?
(16:16):
Yeah.
I mean.
Essentially.
Essentially.
Yeah.
It's when you can't take anymore and you just want to punch it all up and scream.
You just want to go and sit in the corner of the shower and crawl up in a ball and cry.
(16:39):
I've done that actually.
I haven't been there.
Yeah same.
I locked myself in my cupboard when I was younger.
I'm still waiting for you to come out of the closet.
Been trapped there since 2006.
(16:59):
Ma'am Tom Cruise won't come out of the closet.
South Park.
I need to re-wash up.
No I'm crying in the shower.
I was sat in the bottom of the shower and cried like a fucking baby.
Happens.
Get that on the big jobs.
(17:24):
Sucks to suck.
It is what it is.
We just stand there one day and we go fuck it.
I'm going to go sit in the bottom of the shower.
See how it goes.
I got home from work and fucking that's right I broke up with my girlfriend.
(17:50):
And fucking I got home from that and I went and had a shower and just fucking.
Mum's like are you okay?
No.
I broke up.
Oh shit.
Fucking hell.
(18:10):
We all remember early breakups.
Back when you were younger.
Fucking hell.
Those were the times.
I wasn't young.
I was but not young.
Like this was the girlfriend I had for like five years.
I was like 20.
Two, 23.
(18:33):
Yes about 20 years ago.
Wow.
It was a day for you you fucking child.
Yes it was two days ago.
Well that's one of the things that can cause feeling overwhelmed.
(18:54):
You can feel that if you're stressed.
If you're having mood changes.
That's a good sign that you might be overwhelmed.
A bit moody.
I like that word.
Moody.
Yeah we say it a lot.
Someone's a bit snappy over to it like oh moody.
I'm not fucking moody.
(19:16):
Oh he is moody.
That's good.
I'm a stinker for it and they'll be like oh he's moody.
I'm like I'm not fucking moody.
I'm like whoops.
Fuck off.
Yeah rubs you up the right way.
Rubs you up the wrong way.
I was waiting for you to.
(19:37):
I hate you eh.
I love doing that to you.
Yeah act like you're doing it intentionally but I think you're just being stupid and you
don't know shit.
You don't know me.
You don't know me.
I don't like to know you.
(20:00):
That is a fucked up episode.
That is a very fucked up episode.
Other symptoms of feeling overwhelmed, being overwhelmed.
Bitch.
Physical exhaustion.
I get that.
It says that pessimism is one of the fucking symptoms of being overwhelmed and if that
(20:22):
was the case I'd be fucking overwhelmed 24 7.
I'm pessimistic to shit.
I'm just constantly waiting like what else is gonna go wrong.
What next?
Yeah yeah yeah what next?
I got the, what's the word for it?
I can't think of it but today things were going so well I'm like something's gonna go
(20:44):
wrong here.
I'm like oh okay.
So that is what it is.
I experienced that today.
It was very weird.
I usually don't experience that.
Optimistic is you see the positive in things and pessimism is you see the negative in things
so it's like you're a glass half empty person instead of a glass half full.
(21:06):
It's half full.
Huh?
Yeah it's half full.
Yeah but.
I don't need to explain it.
I'm just fucking with you.
What do you mean you get that on the big job?
You gotta give him some context here.
(21:31):
I was chatting to someone and I told them a story and I finished the story off with
you get that on the big jobs and they turned to me straight faced as fuck and said what
do you mean?
And I was like.
What?
You get that on the big jobs and I was like.
Did I stutter?
(21:53):
Exactly like did I fucking stutter?
Like you get that on the big jobs.
Like it is what it is.
I don't know how to explain it.
It's just it's a it's a dismissive acceptance of a situation.
You know.
Oh well fucking shit happens.
Yeah.
(22:14):
Yeah that'd be like a light way of saying shit happens.
It is isn't it?
Hmm.
Big jobs.
Anyway.
Yes.
No you're right.
That's that is one of the one of the symptoms of feeling overwhelmed being overwhelmed feeling
isolated is another one apparently.
(22:37):
Hmm.
Isolated.
Like damn it am I just living in a constant state of fucking overwhelmed like feeling
isolated.
Well I am fucking isolated.
I'm pessimistic as shit.
What else we got mood changes.
Physically exhausted.
Fucking yeah all the time.
(22:59):
Am I stressed out.
I'm pretty good for stress and procrastination.
Fuck me.
Middle name is not.
I have two middle names and that is William James.
Thank you very much Caleb.
Christian William James.
(23:21):
Penny.
Your middle name.
Fuck around and find out.
It's not like it's my Facebook name or anything it's fun.
Oh is that is that you.
That's my last name.
No I thought that was your last name.
(23:43):
No.
I don't know your last name.
No you don't know my last name.
Yeah I don't use my last name.
I mean I have to for legal documents and shit.
Even on the podcast like I've got my name as Caleb Lee.
(24:06):
Dad tell you to do that.
Why would my dad tell me to take off his name.
What.
Why.
To make you harder to track.
No.
It's going to be pretty fucking easy.
There's like going to be 29 videos of me up on YouTube next week.
(24:32):
I'm pretty easy to track.
Anyway but yeah there you go.
You learn something.
You look out my window.
I said I know you should look out your window at night.
Which one.
Oh I was hoping you'd say the right one.
(24:55):
I was going to say Jack's on you.
There's only one.
Anyway.
Very good.
There's only one.
It's a weird one too.
Like I'm not getting into my.
I'm not getting into my bathroom.
(25:16):
We keep going way off topic.
We keep procrastinating.
We need to keep talking about overwhelm.
Identify why you're feeling overwhelmed.
Back up reasons why you.
Why do we feel overwhelmed.
We already talked about this.
Work problems financial stress loss of a relationship.
That's what I was getting into when you were talking about your little crying in the shower moment 10 20 years ago.
(25:39):
It could be a reason.
That could be a.
Sorry.
It's about 10 years ago.
Yeah it would have been.
Yeah.
Health issues.
That I die.
That one.
Yeah.
I agree with that one.
Yep.
Health issues.
She's making you overwhelmed.
(26:00):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Shit.
Yeah.
I can agree to that.
Yep.
That's awful.
It's awful.
If you've had some any sort of health issues whether it be like chronic or just ongoing.
They're really overwhelming like the.
Yeah.
Whether you have to have treatment.
You know what's the difference.
There's so many different things.
(26:21):
I'm not going to talk about a health issue in particular but just health issues across the board.
Yeah.
It can be super overwhelming.
Really hard to put yourself out of.
I'm just I'm just talking from experience.
I just it sucks.
Really sucks.
It does.
What.
Nothing I'm just trying to be nice I'm not going to make up some imaginary illness that
(26:42):
you've got.
I'm not.
I'm not going to say.
I'm not going to be a dick all the time.
That's nice.
All right go on then.
Coping.
What are our coping mechanisms?
(27:03):
Identify why you're feeling overwhelmed.
Which.
Ties back to every fucking episode of being self aware and being able to identify that
you are overwhelmed being able to pinpoint what cause of it.
Yeah.
Well I talk about it every week but it's important.
(27:24):
Yeah.
How are you going to fix it if you don't know where the root cause is.
These grounding techniques.
I like this one and I want to go further into it.
Yeah.
Yeah I do.
Have you heard of the 5 4 3 2 1 method.
No.
No.
I just hate the whole.
(27:47):
Taking off your shoes.
No you don't necessarily have to take off your shoes.
The next part says to take off your shoes and socks and feel the ground and the dirt
beneath you and spread your toes.
Plant your souls.
I don't like that idea either.
That's an example.
It sounds like woof fuckery.
Yeah it is woof fuckery.
(28:08):
No it's the idea is you focus on five things.
That fucking chef guy puts his asshole to the sun.
I haven't come across that category.
You know.
I'll take your word for it.
Is it Pete Evans.
I'm not sure.
Your master chef.
(28:29):
I'm not sure.
I don't watch master chef.
He's big into the woof fuckery and yeah one of the things he like promoted once was like
yeah like every morning like point your asshole at the sun.
Okay.
It's healthy.
It recharges you.
Oh yeah.
That's how you recharge your battery.
(28:53):
Yeah nice.
I thought that's where our batteries were.
Fucking battery.
I'd rather kick start a land one.
Yeah.
Fucking hey.
So much hair there the sun wouldn't be able to recharge the solar panel anyway.
Fucking so off track today.
(29:25):
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
We're both tired.
It's an important topic.
It is but we're just pissing around.
We're not overwhelmed.
I'm just past it.
You pass that point of overwhelm.
As I said to you I was like oh we can do it tomorrow.
(29:47):
Like if you want.
I'm good for it.
I want to do it.
I'm good for it.
I'll do it.
I'll do it.
It's going to help me feel not overwhelmed.
Ticking off small.
It's not we haven't got to this yet but it's one of the coping mechanisms is ticking off
small tasks as you go and this is.
Like I said.
I think it was right at the bottom.
I think I was reading it somewhere.
(30:10):
Oh yeah.
Break big tasks down tiny steps.
Yeah.
Because if I record today I can then do some post work tomorrow and then the following
day and then I can break it down and then I don't have to rush it all on a Saturday
night before release.
So many fucking ways to cope with it.
I don't even want to go through all of them.
(30:32):
One of the ones I that I will fucking point out is actually really good is using ice as
a distraction using ice.
Not the drunk you fuck with.
Yeah.
Ice cubes.
Yeah.
So there's actually like you can like hold it or you can eat it like hold it in your
(30:57):
mouth or whatever but there's actually a thing that you do when this is a really like good
and like proven method.
So you get like you're like a bowl or your sink and you fill it with ice water and you
(31:18):
take a big breath and you dunk your fucking head in it for as long as you can and it like
resets your brain.
They don't know that.
Yeah.
No it's like a it's a like if someone's having like a really bad panic attack or fucking
(31:38):
you know thoughts are like blowing out of control and shit feeling overwhelmed anxious.
When you it makes sense because like all the blood would rush to your head right?
Big shock to your system.
Yeah.
It's like.
Yeah.
Yeah.
One way to get the blood flowing and that's yeah but it makes sense.
I guess the science checks out.
They're even trained in it too.
(32:00):
Yeah okay.
Not just like a woof fuckery thing it's like no that's actually like a legitimate like
shock like restart to your thinking patterns.
Okay.
I'll have to try that.
Yeah when we hang out I'll fucking test it on you.
Yeah.
You ever been like did you ever do the ice bucket challenge back in the day?
(32:23):
No I wasn't a dickhead.
Let's go back I didn't do it either but I just.
I was waiting for you to say you did.
No no I never did it.
I got big eskies of ice chucked over chucked over here back in like 40 days.
We were doing the ice bucket challenge in 40 like 10 years before it was cool.
I thought you played really well today.
(32:45):
Yeah.
Yeah you go gate raid shower.
Damn it.
Yeah no that's that is a good one.
That's cool.
I wouldn't say it's the most important one but it's one that I definitely.
No.
And be like yeah fuck it don't forget to have a chop of that.
(33:06):
One I would like to talk about and I hate it because I'm not very good at doing it.
Because I'm stubborn.
No I'm not good at that either.
So what is within your control to change?
Nothing.
It's all out of my control.
Exactly.
No it's really hard.
(33:27):
Fuck me raw.
It's a good one though.
It does make sense.
Work with what's within your control.
Something that I'm not very good at doing but when you do it it can really help.
Because you can't fix what's on your control.
Exactly like it takes a lot of the stress off of the problem.
(33:50):
Like if you are desperately trying to hold on to control when it's completely out of
your control you're just going to make the situation worse.
You're going to stress yourself out even further and the sooner you realize that sometimes
shit happens and it's out of your control the easier it is to just step back and go
(34:13):
fuck it.
That's right.
Yeah just take a step back.
Oh you know like some of the shit that's going on with me and some of the stuff that's still
going on I've gotten to the point where I've just gone fuck it.
Yep.
Roll with it.
(34:34):
Sometimes that's all you can do.
Ah that's really good.
There's lots of other, there's so many.
There's heaps.
There's over 20.
Yeah there's a lot.
There's a lot of really good ones there.
A lot of these we've talked about.
There's talk about doing some exercise.
We went through coping mechanisms in a whole fucking episode.
(34:55):
We did.
They are.
That's all they are.
They're just coping mechanisms for feeling overwhelmed.
A lot of the coping mechanisms that we spoke about in that episode can be used for lots
of different mental health issues and topics that we cover off.
Listen to some music.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
(35:15):
Well they're like find a creative outlet.
You know, doesn't have to be music but that sort of thing.
Don't even have to do it but enjoy it.
Like go and enjoy some artwork.
Go and enjoy some music.
Go and enjoy some television.
See how speaking about enjoying some television.
Oh that episode was amazing.
(35:36):
It was good.
It was really good.
Welcome to the party.
Yeah.
I'm glad you found the quarter.
I'm going to take my time with it because it's going to be a long time before we get
any more of it.
I just finished watching the last episode of the season.
The most recent season of Demon Slayer and it was phenomenal.
(35:57):
Oh you finished watching the last season.
No.
There's going to be another half.
Yeah, yeah, there's going to be more.
Oh it's a movie.
Oh.
There's going to be more.
No more seasons.
Shut up you piss.
So there's still going to be more.
You're a fucking piss.
(36:19):
They'll still break it into a season though, surely.
Like even if it's a movie they'll break it up into twenty.
I love to watch anime with dubs.
Real anime enjoyers use subs.
I am happy to watch subs and I do watch subs.
I have watched subs.
But I started Demon Slayer on a dub.
(36:40):
I'm going to finish it on a dub.
I'm not swapping my place around.
I feel like we don't need to explain what subs and dubs are but just in case subs are
being subtitles and dubs are being dubbed over in English.
I was really hoping you'd say dub titles.
Dub titles.
I thought, I was just like, please fuck this up.
(37:06):
Please fuck this up.
Thanks man.
You wouldn't have let me fucking live that down.
No, no.
Fucking dub titles.
Wouldn't have been my new league of legends name and everything.
That's great.
Anyway, that's a really good TV show.
(37:30):
And you've been watching the boys.
And I've been watching the boys.
The boys are just...
Fucking welcome to the party.
So yeah, okay, alright.
Settle down.
I've got a life, remember?
I am your fucking life.
Yeah, right over there.
(37:54):
Anyway, careful with overwhelm.
It can lead to...
It can fuck you up.
Yeah, it really can.
If you're really overwhelmed with stuff, it can stop you from doing a lot of things to
your fullest, being a hundred percent in different activities and things that you do in your
day-to-day life.
So it's really important to get on top of the overwhelm.
(38:22):
It's the same as any of the mental health topics that we've spoken about.
If you let it get too out of control, it starts to affect everything.
It'll start off as being a bit overstressed about something or a bit over emotional.
And then all of a sudden you're not sleeping, you're not eating, you're fucking health problems,
(38:43):
it spirals out into your relationships and friendships.
Fucking just...
Long story short, keep on top of shit.
Keep learning the signs.
Yeah, that's a good point.
Yeah, nip it in the bud.
Good saying.
(39:04):
Is that a fucking saying you haven't heard before either?
No.
Of course I heard that before.
(39:26):
I think fuck, I thought you were serious.
I was just fucking...
No, no, I just wanted to see your reaction.
Hmm, anyway, look, we better take a quick little break thing that we do and then...
I don't even need a break now, so...
Chat about some music?
No, you don't.
All right.
Well, here's a word from our sponsors.
(39:52):
And we'll be back in a moment.

Back to the show.
Welcome back to this week's episode of the Pain in Our Head podcast.
Thank you for joining us.
(40:13):
I was going to say joining us, but this isn't live.
Thanks for listening.
A bit of a please let me fucking get comfortable before you cut straight back in, you munt.
I like to keep you on your toes.
Look, we've been talking about overwhelm and its effect it can have on you or the symptoms
of overwhelm.
(40:33):
These toes.
What it can do to...
I've never seen your foot tattoo.
I'm actually very glad I finally got to see that.
I've been, yeah.
No, no.
That's right.
(40:54):
Because you were going to get, you're going to get fuck yeah on your knuckles.
You've said this in the podcast.
You're going to get fuck yeah on your knuckles.
And you're like, no, I can't do that.
But I'll get it on my foot.
So I got fuck on one foot, yeah on the other one.
Yeah.
Fuck yeah.
Fuck yeah.
Because I say it a lot.
Fuck yeah.
Fuck yeah.
(41:14):
And so we've been talking about lots of different things.
So yeah, thanks for listening.
Hope you've enjoyed it so far.
We're going to chat about a little bit of music now.
I want to firstly talk about Jack Black because we went on a massive tangent in the break
and spoke about...
We got a fucking singalong.
We did have a singalong.
Yeah, Tenacious D, the Pick of Destiny.
(41:36):
If you haven't seen it...
I want to hear that singalong now.
Go sing it.
Yeah, yeah.
I'll clip it.
Anyway, we were singing one of the songs from the movie.
Great movie.
And just, yeah, we're talking about Jack Black.
He's got an amazing voice.
Envious of it.
Like just the highs and the lows and the mids.
(41:57):
Just his range is incredible.
Yeah.
Brilliant.
Really, really cool.
Yeah.
Anyway, that was it.
That's all I wanted to say about that.
Yeah, just shout out.
Shout out Jack Black.
We love you.
We do.
You'll never listen to this, but oh well.
(42:18):
I can dream, Harold.
You seen that?
My reference is a shit.
Anyway, what are you talking about this week?
Predator.
Predator.
Siamese.
I am surprised you didn't think of that earlier because you've been slamming that.
(42:42):
It's a fucking banger.
It's good.
It's very good.
It's quite drum and bass, but also metal.
And I'm fucking here for it because I love drum and bass and, you know, pendulum.
We still haven't spoken about pendulum.
(43:03):
Can we just do it now?
Okay, let's do a ruffle.
Because we're talking about drum and bass.
Yeah.
Okay.
Pendulum.
Yeah, fuck pendulum.
Pendulum.
Rob Squire.
I fucking love you.
Rob Squire is the lead singer for pendulum.
He's Australian born, but then he moved over to the UK because that's where the fucking
(43:23):
drum and bass was huge.
I'm a sort of Australian, but they're not.
Oh my God.
Immersion album.
With like watercolor, witchcraft.
Damn, I fucking love that album.
(43:47):
Crush.
Crush is on that album too.
And then Devin Townsend did a remix of Crush, which is even fucking better than the original,
which I found extremely hard to believe could ever be done, but here we fucking are.
Oh man, like just brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant band.
(44:08):
I fucking love them.
They're fantastic.
There's a, I think they've done a few like a versions, haven't they?
Yeah, I think so.
They've come back a couple of times.
Yeah, but there's one that you showed me and I just enjoyed the shit out of it.
I can't remember if it was Antihero, Colorfast.
(44:29):
Yeah, they did their own, they did the, in the same setting, they did their own version,
so their own song, which was Colorfast.
And then they did the Antihero by Taylor Swift.
Yes.
Yeah, just fantastic.
I just, it's just so, they're talented.
They just, I honestly, I hate using that word too actually, cause it's hard work.
(44:53):
It's not talent.
You put in hard work and that's what you get, but cause I, you know, if you say talent,
that just undermines people's hard work.
Anyway, I'm mad at myself for using that word.
And yeah, that is fantastic.
They're just incredible musicians.
The fact that they get that sound from their instruments that they play is just incredible.
Incredible.
(45:13):
What was?
Love the electric kit too.
There was another song by Dereck Sancho.
It had that real big fucking heavy, like, I was like, Oh, I skipped to this part of
the song and you're just like.
Not sure, but so many good songs.
(45:35):
Looking it up now cause it's going to fucking.
Yeah.
It was a recent one.
Maybe from the, um.
Come Alive.
Come Alive.
Yeah.
Holy shit.
Like the song's great for the whole thing.
And then all of a sudden it just like gets heavy as shit and you're just like, mm.
(45:58):
Also I don't know if you knew, but they like sort of like broke up for a while.
Oh really?
They went and created Knife Party.
Oh, Knife Party.
Yeah.
Hmm.
I have not heard any of their stuff.
I'll introduce you to a, after this episode I'll introduce you to Knife Party.
(46:21):
Yeah.
Okay.
Knife Party.
Fucking Pendulum.
Yeah.
Okay.
But it was just like two or three of them went off and did it.
Okay.
I'd project, well, it was, it was going to be like their main thing and then they come
back to Pendulum and think, fuck.
Pendulum.
(46:42):
Yep.
Just, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
And I was very impressed when you showed me cause I'd never heard of them before.
And I'm not really into that style or genre, but no, I just, I just thoroughly enjoyed
it.
Yeah.
Yeah, man.
I had a friend from World of Warcraft introduced me to Pendulum like back during the original
(47:06):
days of World of Warcraft.
He was like, Oh, check out the, check out this song.
And he's like, do you like drum and bass?
I'm like, I don't fucking know.
So he showed me painkiller.
Yeah.
Okay.
And I'm reaching in my pocket for, they've changed the lyrics to that.
Cause it was originally, I'm reaching in my pocket for a painkiller.
It's about doing drugs.
(47:28):
And now it's, I'm reaching in my cupboard for a painkiller.
Yeah.
Because that's more acceptable because it's, it makes it sound like prescription.
Yeah.
Okay.
That's weird.
Have you got a song you want to talk about in particular?
(47:49):
Um, fuck no, not really.
I'm happy with just that pendulum chat.
We've been meaning to do that for ages.
Like, yeah.
Cause I'm, I'm going to add a fair few of those, I reckon.
Definitely going to add the anti-hero, um, like a version.
And colorfast.
And colorfast.
Yeah.
(48:09):
Yeah.
Why would you put the anti-hero?
I don't think it's any good.
I don't mind it.
Sorry.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But colorfast definitely.
And that other, I don't know, a few others come alive.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think you showed me a live video of them doing come alive.
(48:29):
Um, I think it's like, I think it's like footage from live, but I don't think it's a live audio.
Oh, okay.
I'm going to have to wrap this up.
Like fucking positive, I can hear thunder.
Oh yes.
Yeah, you don't want that to happen to you last week.
(48:51):
Yeah.
The other day.
Yeah.
Power outages.
Yeah.
Good old storms.
Yeah.
Okay.
Uh, sweet.
Well, thank you for listening to this week's episode.
Next week, we're going to talk about body image.
Can't wait.
Super excited for that.
And yeah, that's all I have.
(49:12):
That's it.
Okay.
Nice.
See you next week.
Yeah.
Bye.

(00:46):
Hello and welcome to this week's episode of the Pain in Our Head podcast.
I'm really impressed you kept it together.
I could see this struggle.
Too tired, too tired for your shit today.
I was like I'm finally gonna get this prick, I'm gonna get him back and make him be the
(01:09):
one laughing like a dickhead at the start of the episode.
I could see it, I could see the struggle.
It was like...
That was good, that was pretty good.
I wish the recording started a little earlier just so I could clip that.
Piece of shit.
(01:30):
It'll be forever ingrained in my brain.
Anyway.
Living rent free.
Yeah, it will be.
Lots to talk about this week.
I'm gonna talk about a band that I saw last week.
We're gonna cover off some music, some other shit talk and we're talking about being overwhelmed.
(01:52):
And how much of a shit fight that can be sometimes.
I hate being overwhelmed.
Hate it.
So anyway, I saw on Instagram before.
I don't know, I saw earlier today.
Surprise, surprise.
It was something different.
(02:13):
Yeah, I spammed you with a lot of reels this afternoon.
It was good.
It did, yeah.
So this one, it was like...
So I'm gonna ask you this question and it's from kind of made it from this reel.
Anyway, if the world was ending, but you've got enough time to listen to one more song.
(02:33):
For fuck's sake.
What's that song gonna be?
God damn, that's bull.
You can't put me on this.
It's tricky, hey.
I don't like that.
It's tricky, hey.
Fuck.
Yeah, I've got nothing.
You got nothing?
Yeah, no.
There's too many choices.
Way too many choices.
Yeah.
It was really hard.
I was trying to think about it and I couldn't come up with anything either.
(03:08):
The reel had some guy driving along and the question popped up and then it's like, I'm
cranking this and it starts playing the Katina Ben song from Star Wars.
I was like, yeah, yeah, that'd be the way I'd want to go out.
(03:29):
You just drive it off.
That's it.
You're listening to that.
So I thought that would be pretty cool.
I wonder if that's on Spotify.
I want to add it to the playlist.
It would be.
Yeah, it will be.
Add it.
I will.
Yeah, fucking add it.
There's some great music in Star Wars.
Imperial March.
Yeah.
I had those my ringtones for so long.
(03:52):
It was a funny joke in The Family Guy Star Wars where they dig on, I think, Hans Zimmer
for coming in and taking over one of the films.
And yeah, because I should know this, but I can't think of the main composer.
(04:14):
Oh, this is killing me.
I know this.
I don't.
This is like my shit.
I love music production and shit and I can't even think of his name.
That's going to kill me.
He's done a stupid amount of work.
Really, really good work too.
(04:35):
John Williams?
John Williams.
Yeah.
John Williams is one.
I thought there was another.
Maybe it wasn't Hans Zimmer that I was thinking about.
It's been John Williams.
I think that's who they made the joke about actually.
I can't remember.
It's been so long since I've seen Family Guy Star Wars.
(04:56):
Really good.
John Williams has composed nearly all of the music heard in the Star Wars films.
Oh, okay.
There we go.
Interesting.
It's really cool.
And you did the stuff at Harry Potter.
Yes.
Yes, he did.
(05:17):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Great music in that too.
Really enjoy the music in Harry Potter.
Favorite score?
The Dark Knight.
And it's not because I'm biased about that.
It's not.
Listen to the score.
(05:39):
It's top notch.
I think it won an award.
I'm pretty sure it did.
Yeah, it's a really good score.
Anyway.
Moving on.
You've got me looking now, so fuck you.
(06:03):
You're determined to find out.
It looks like John Williams did the original ones.
Plus the... all the way up to 2019.
Okay.
There we go.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.
Yeah, he did all nine movies.
(06:25):
He did all of them.
There we go.
I thought it was someone else.
I thought there was one other that did one movie or something like that, but...
Useless.
Apparently not.
Anyway.
Cantina Band.
Good song.
Cantina Band.
Hey, yeah, Cantina.
The Cantina Band.
I call them the Cantina Band.
(06:45):
Little Boy, Little Morning.
There's a 10 hour loop on YouTube.
I know that.
Fuck.
There's also a 24 hour Gandalf Euro Pop nod loop.
How long do you reckon you can get through?
(07:10):
If the goal was to get to the end of the... have you done it?
Have you gone 24 hours of it?
Have you?
I have done the 24... no, not the 24.
I've done the 12 hour loop in one gaming session.
I just opened it and YouTube had it playing in the background and then just proceeded
(07:31):
to play nothing but Dota 2 without playing in the background.
You must fettle in the viewers.
I'm not ashamed.
I wasn't streaming.
Oh, okay.
It looked fair enough.
It is pretty good.
I think I could probably get through 30 minutes, so I'd get bored.
(07:55):
Nah, bullshit.
Same as the, uh, we're taking the Hobbits to Isengard.
Oh, that I could listen to for a week straight, I reckon.
Yeah.
That's... that's good.
Now I've got that Europop nod stuck in my head.
There you go.
(08:16):
That's what I'm going out to.
That's my last song.
That's it.
That's your song.
All I can picture is Gandalf just like...
Oh, some good choices there.
Yeah, blame us a comment.
I'd love to know if you're listening, watching what you would listen to in your last moments.
(08:43):
Very touching.
Probably wrong.
But no one's listening?
No, no.
Whatever songs I suggest, they're wrong.
Oh, right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean...
If it's not Europop nod, then you're wrong.
It could be something that we haven't thought of.
(09:03):
Anyway.
Look at my horse.
I'll leave it to them.
Yeah.
No cock like horse cock.
Cock like horse cock.
I did a 12 hour loop of that.
Fuck, I'd be down for that.
Oh shit.
Anyway, I saw a bad flower last week.
(09:24):
It was like a week ago now.
I made it a bad flower.
Why wasn't it a good flower?
They're not good flowers.
They're bad flowers.
Yeah.
They were really good.
They were awesome.
Unbelievable.
Really enjoyed it.
Great show.
It was their first tour over in Australia.
(09:47):
Oh yeah?
Yeah.
Did they get chlamydia from some koalas?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They were like all the overseas bands when they come, they always end up putting on their
socials pictures of holding koalas.
Koalas.
Koalas.
Koala.
Koala.
(10:08):
Why do you pick on me for how I say koala?
I just expect, I don't know, you've been to Queensland, I expect you to hear the koala.
Koala.
Is it koala?
Koala.
Koala.
Koala.
(10:28):
Koala.
I've already asked this.
I feel like I've been in too much deja vu here.
Anyway, the bad flower were amazing.
They were really good.
Incredible live.
Did you get in the pit?
No, I didn't get that far in.
Throw some hands.
(10:49):
Yeah, throw some heat crowd surf.
That was pretty cool.
He jumped off stage, he came through.
Oh, have you?
Yeah.
I crowd surfed at Metallica.
Anyone catch you?
They just picked me up in the crowd.
Oh, they picked you up in the crowd.
Yeah.
Okay, you didn't jump off stage or anything.
I thought you were going to say.
(11:09):
Like you'd be able to get on stage with Metallica.
Well, not Metallica, but I thought you might've been talking about one of your shows.
No, no, no, I crowd surfed in the crowd at Metallica.
They just fucking picked me up and fucking away.
Off you went.
Fuck you!
Before you knew it, you're on the other side of the fucking pit.
Basically, it was like I was at the front of the fucking security fence and then I was
(11:31):
at the back of the pit and I was just like, yeah.
Fuck.
It's just like, all right, time to fucking lock and load.
Let's go, bitches.
Help us up.
It's like fucking let's go, cunts.
Knees up.
Do it to my knees as you're rolling through.
Fucking storm between the pits like fuck.
(11:52):
Don't clip that, you fucking asshole.
How does that go again?
You can't clip that one because I said the C word.
I'll find a way.
(12:12):
Wait, there's a will, there's a way.
Can you just stop beeping out the C word and use like a fucking rubber d-
I've stopped beeping it out.
I'll just let it fly.
No, beep it out with something cool.
I'll think about it.
Anyway.
In Metalocalypse, they use like a guitar pinch harmonic.
(12:33):
Oh, that'd be pretty cool.
I'm here for that.
This is how they make executive decisions in regards to the podcast, which is shit talk
(12:53):
and something stupid comes up and we're like, hey, let's do it.
That's the one.
They were awesome.
They were really, really cool.
Had a lot of energy and he didn't talk a lot.
We had that conversation about overseas bands coming over and talking to an Australian crowd
like we've never heard anyone talk before.
(13:14):
But he didn't, so that was cool.
I played pretty much everything I would have wanted them to, which is awesome.
Maybe like two songs.
I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I paid 70 bucks for my ticket.
(13:37):
The merch was expensive.
Fucking merch is a rift these days.
I remember when you used to go to like a fucking Soundwave and you're like, yeah, 25 bucks
for a fucking shirt.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fucking luck these days.
No, no.
Yeah, 50, 60.
You're not even going to get a fucking beanie or a cap.
Hoodies were like 100, 120.
(13:58):
Yeah, yeah.
It's all like the, I know that the bright side where we went to, they take a cut.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So when I went and saw caskets there a little while ago, they had the option.
They were like, oh, if you want, you can do a tip and the tip goes actually straight
(14:21):
to the band.
It doesn't like, you know, the, they won't take a cut of it or whatever.
So I think I ended up doing it.
So their merch was a lot cheaper though, considerably cheaper than what Bad Flowers were.
So I didn't get anything, but enjoyed the show.
Really, really good.
Anyway, moving on.
Yeah, well I'm going to see Parkway next month in about a month, just over a month.
(14:46):
That'd be cool.
Yeah.
I haven't seen Parkway.
Yeah I missed out on seeing them before they got big.
They did a PCYC gig back in Bundy.
Oh yeah.
It was still unknown.
Like they were just a bunch of surfy dudes from Byron Bay.
And yeah, they did an all ages gig at the PCYC.
(15:07):
Yeah well.
And I didn't go.
And then yeah, now if I could look at them, they're huge.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They're good.
I don't really know a lot of their stuff off the top of my head, but I've heard a
fair bit of it.
I've listened to the two songs that I told you to.
Which ones?
I sent you the other day when I was at work, I told you to listen to Swing and Wild Eyes.
(15:33):
By Parkway?
Yeah.
I've heard, would you say Wild Eyes?
Yeah.
Yeah I've heard that one.
Because they both got really cool drum lines to them.
Yeah that one sounds familiar.
No, actually no, I did listen to these.
Yeah well sometimes I just do things and forget about it.
(15:54):
You know, I get sidetracked.
Anyway, let's talk about being overwhelmed.
Yeah.
Great.
Let's talk about being overwhelmed.
What is being overwhelmed?
When things get too much and it hurts you feelings.
Is that what you reckon?
(16:16):
Yeah.
I mean.
Essentially.
Essentially.
Yeah.
It's when you can't take anymore and you just want to punch it all up and scream.
You just want to go and sit in the corner of the shower and crawl up in a ball and cry.
(16:39):
I've done that actually.
I haven't been there.
Yeah same.
I locked myself in my cupboard when I was younger.
I'm still waiting for you to come out of the closet.
Been trapped there since 2006.
(16:59):
Ma'am Tom Cruise won't come out of the closet.
South Park.
I need to re-wash up.
No I'm crying in the shower.
I was sat in the bottom of the shower and cried like a fucking baby.
Happens.
Get that on the big jobs.
(17:24):
Sucks to suck.
It is what it is.
We just stand there one day and we go fuck it.
I'm going to go sit in the bottom of the shower.
See how it goes.
I got home from work and fucking that's right I broke up with my girlfriend.
(17:50):
And fucking I got home from that and I went and had a shower and just fucking.
Mum's like are you okay?
No.
I broke up.
Oh shit.
Fucking hell.
(18:10):
We all remember early breakups.
Back when you were younger.
Fucking hell.
Those were the times.
I wasn't young.
I was but not young.
Like this was the girlfriend I had for like five years.
I was like 20.
Two, 23.
(18:33):
Yes about 20 years ago.
Wow.
It was a day for you you fucking child.
Yes it was two days ago.
Well that's one of the things that can cause feeling overwhelmed.
(18:54):
You can feel that if you're stressed.
If you're having mood changes.
That's a good sign that you might be overwhelmed.
A bit moody.
I like that word.
Moody.
Yeah we say it a lot.
Someone's a bit snappy over to it like oh moody.
I'm not fucking moody.
(19:16):
Oh he is moody.
That's good.
I'm a stinker for it and they'll be like oh he's moody.
I'm like I'm not fucking moody.
I'm like whoops.
Fuck off.
Yeah rubs you up the right way.
Rubs you up the wrong way.
I was waiting for you to.
(19:37):
I hate you eh.
I love doing that to you.
Yeah act like you're doing it intentionally but I think you're just being stupid and you
don't know shit.
You don't know me.
You don't know me.
I don't like to know you.
(20:00):
That is a fucked up episode.
That is a very fucked up episode.
Other symptoms of feeling overwhelmed, being overwhelmed.
Bitch.
Physical exhaustion.
I get that.
It says that pessimism is one of the fucking symptoms of being overwhelmed and if that
(20:22):
was the case I'd be fucking overwhelmed 24 7.
I'm pessimistic to shit.
I'm just constantly waiting like what else is gonna go wrong.
What next?
Yeah yeah yeah what next?
I got the, what's the word for it?
I can't think of it but today things were going so well I'm like something's gonna go
(20:44):
wrong here.
I'm like oh okay.
So that is what it is.
I experienced that today.
It was very weird.
I usually don't experience that.
Optimistic is you see the positive in things and pessimism is you see the negative in things
so it's like you're a glass half empty person instead of a glass half full.
(21:06):
It's half full.
Huh?
Yeah it's half full.
Yeah but.
I don't need to explain it.
I'm just fucking with you.
What do you mean you get that on the big job?
You gotta give him some context here.
(21:31):
I was chatting to someone and I told them a story and I finished the story off with
you get that on the big jobs and they turned to me straight faced as fuck and said what
do you mean?
And I was like.
What?
You get that on the big jobs and I was like.
Did I stutter?
(21:53):
Exactly like did I fucking stutter?
Like you get that on the big jobs.
Like it is what it is.
I don't know how to explain it.
It's just it's a it's a dismissive acceptance of a situation.
You know.
Oh well fucking shit happens.
Yeah.
(22:14):
Yeah that'd be like a light way of saying shit happens.
It is isn't it?
Hmm.
Big jobs.
Anyway.
Yes.
No you're right.
That's that is one of the one of the symptoms of feeling overwhelmed being overwhelmed feeling
isolated is another one apparently.
(22:37):
Hmm.
Isolated.
Like damn it am I just living in a constant state of fucking overwhelmed like feeling
isolated.
Well I am fucking isolated.
I'm pessimistic as shit.
What else we got mood changes.
Physically exhausted.
Fucking yeah all the time.
(22:59):
Am I stressed out.
I'm pretty good for stress and procrastination.
Fuck me.
Middle name is not.
I have two middle names and that is William James.
Thank you very much Caleb.
Christian William James.
(23:21):
Penny.
Your middle name.
Fuck around and find out.
It's not like it's my Facebook name or anything it's fun.
Oh is that is that you.
That's my last name.
No I thought that was your last name.
(23:43):
No.
I don't know your last name.
No you don't know my last name.
Yeah I don't use my last name.
I mean I have to for legal documents and shit.
Even on the podcast like I've got my name as Caleb Lee.
(24:06):
Dad tell you to do that.
Why would my dad tell me to take off his name.
What.
Why.
To make you harder to track.
No.
It's going to be pretty fucking easy.
There's like going to be 29 videos of me up on YouTube next week.
(24:32):
I'm pretty easy to track.
Anyway but yeah there you go.
You learn something.
You look out my window.
I said I know you should look out your window at night.
Which one.
Oh I was hoping you'd say the right one.
(24:55):
I was going to say Jack's on you.
There's only one.
Anyway.
Very good.
There's only one.
It's a weird one too.
Like I'm not getting into my.
I'm not getting into my bathroom.
(25:16):
We keep going way off topic.
We keep procrastinating.
We need to keep talking about overwhelm.
Identify why you're feeling overwhelmed.
Back up reasons why you.
Why do we feel overwhelmed.
We already talked about this.
Work problems financial stress loss of a relationship.
That's what I was getting into when you were talking about your little crying in the shower moment 10 20 years ago.
(25:39):
It could be a reason.
That could be a.
Sorry.
It's about 10 years ago.
Yeah it would have been.
Yeah.
Health issues.
That I die.
That one.
Yeah.
I agree with that one.
Yep.
Health issues.
She's making you overwhelmed.
(26:00):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Shit.
Yeah.
I can agree to that.
Yep.
That's awful.
It's awful.
If you've had some any sort of health issues whether it be like chronic or just ongoing.
They're really overwhelming like the.
Yeah.
Whether you have to have treatment.
You know what's the difference.
There's so many different things.
(26:21):
I'm not going to talk about a health issue in particular but just health issues across the board.
Yeah.
It can be super overwhelming.
Really hard to put yourself out of.
I'm just I'm just talking from experience.
I just it sucks.
Really sucks.
It does.
What.
Nothing I'm just trying to be nice I'm not going to make up some imaginary illness that
(26:42):
you've got.
I'm not.
I'm not going to say.
I'm not going to be a dick all the time.
That's nice.
All right go on then.
Coping.
What are our coping mechanisms?
(27:03):
Identify why you're feeling overwhelmed.
Which.
Ties back to every fucking episode of being self aware and being able to identify that
you are overwhelmed being able to pinpoint what cause of it.
Yeah.
Well I talk about it every week but it's important.
(27:24):
Yeah.
How are you going to fix it if you don't know where the root cause is.
These grounding techniques.
I like this one and I want to go further into it.
Yeah.
Yeah I do.
Have you heard of the 5 4 3 2 1 method.
No.
No.
I just hate the whole.
(27:47):
Taking off your shoes.
No you don't necessarily have to take off your shoes.
The next part says to take off your shoes and socks and feel the ground and the dirt
beneath you and spread your toes.
Plant your souls.
I don't like that idea either.
That's an example.
It sounds like woof fuckery.
Yeah it is woof fuckery.
(28:08):
No it's the idea is you focus on five things.
That fucking chef guy puts his asshole to the sun.
I haven't come across that category.
You know.
I'll take your word for it.
Is it Pete Evans.
I'm not sure.
Your master chef.
(28:29):
I'm not sure.
I don't watch master chef.
He's big into the woof fuckery and yeah one of the things he like promoted once was like
yeah like every morning like point your asshole at the sun.
Okay.
It's healthy.
It recharges you.
Oh yeah.
That's how you recharge your battery.
(28:53):
Yeah nice.
I thought that's where our batteries were.
Fucking battery.
I'd rather kick start a land one.
Yeah.
Fucking hey.
So much hair there the sun wouldn't be able to recharge the solar panel anyway.
Fucking so off track today.
(29:25):
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
We're both tired.
It's an important topic.
It is but we're just pissing around.
We're not overwhelmed.
I'm just past it.
You pass that point of overwhelm.
As I said to you I was like oh we can do it tomorrow.
(29:47):
Like if you want.
I'm good for it.
I want to do it.
I'm good for it.
I'll do it.
I'll do it.
It's going to help me feel not overwhelmed.
Ticking off small.
It's not we haven't got to this yet but it's one of the coping mechanisms is ticking off
small tasks as you go and this is.
Like I said.
I think it was right at the bottom.
I think I was reading it somewhere.
(30:10):
Oh yeah.
Break big tasks down tiny steps.
Yeah.
Because if I record today I can then do some post work tomorrow and then the following
day and then I can break it down and then I don't have to rush it all on a Saturday
night before release.
So many fucking ways to cope with it.
I don't even want to go through all of them.
(30:32):
One of the ones I that I will fucking point out is actually really good is using ice as
a distraction using ice.
Not the drunk you fuck with.
Yeah.
Ice cubes.
Yeah.
So there's actually like you can like hold it or you can eat it like hold it in your
(30:57):
mouth or whatever but there's actually a thing that you do when this is a really like good
and like proven method.
So you get like you're like a bowl or your sink and you fill it with ice water and you
(31:18):
take a big breath and you dunk your fucking head in it for as long as you can and it like
resets your brain.
They don't know that.
Yeah.
No it's like a it's a like if someone's having like a really bad panic attack or fucking
(31:38):
you know thoughts are like blowing out of control and shit feeling overwhelmed anxious.
When you it makes sense because like all the blood would rush to your head right?
Big shock to your system.
Yeah.
It's like.
Yeah.
Yeah.
One way to get the blood flowing and that's yeah but it makes sense.
I guess the science checks out.
They're even trained in it too.
(32:00):
Yeah okay.
Not just like a woof fuckery thing it's like no that's actually like a legitimate like
shock like restart to your thinking patterns.
Okay.
I'll have to try that.
Yeah when we hang out I'll fucking test it on you.
Yeah.
You ever been like did you ever do the ice bucket challenge back in the day?
(32:23):
No I wasn't a dickhead.
Let's go back I didn't do it either but I just.
I was waiting for you to say you did.
No no I never did it.
I got big eskies of ice chucked over chucked over here back in like 40 days.
We were doing the ice bucket challenge in 40 like 10 years before it was cool.
I thought you played really well today.
(32:45):
Yeah.
Yeah you go gate raid shower.
Damn it.
Yeah no that's that is a good one.
That's cool.
I wouldn't say it's the most important one but it's one that I definitely.
No.
And be like yeah fuck it don't forget to have a chop of that.
(33:06):
One I would like to talk about and I hate it because I'm not very good at doing it.
Because I'm stubborn.
No I'm not good at that either.
So what is within your control to change?
Nothing.
It's all out of my control.
Exactly.
No it's really hard.
(33:27):
Fuck me raw.
It's a good one though.
It does make sense.
Work with what's within your control.
Something that I'm not very good at doing but when you do it it can really help.
Because you can't fix what's on your control.
Exactly like it takes a lot of the stress off of the problem.
(33:50):
Like if you are desperately trying to hold on to control when it's completely out of
your control you're just going to make the situation worse.
You're going to stress yourself out even further and the sooner you realize that sometimes
shit happens and it's out of your control the easier it is to just step back and go
(34:13):
fuck it.
That's right.
Yeah just take a step back.
Oh you know like some of the shit that's going on with me and some of the stuff that's still
going on I've gotten to the point where I've just gone fuck it.
Yep.
Roll with it.
(34:34):
Sometimes that's all you can do.
Ah that's really good.
There's lots of other, there's so many.
There's heaps.
There's over 20.
Yeah there's a lot.
There's a lot of really good ones there.
A lot of these we've talked about.
There's talk about doing some exercise.
We went through coping mechanisms in a whole fucking episode.
(34:55):
We did.
They are.
That's all they are.
They're just coping mechanisms for feeling overwhelmed.
A lot of the coping mechanisms that we spoke about in that episode can be used for lots
of different mental health issues and topics that we cover off.
Listen to some music.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
(35:15):
Well they're like find a creative outlet.
You know, doesn't have to be music but that sort of thing.
Don't even have to do it but enjoy it.
Like go and enjoy some artwork.
Go and enjoy some music.
Go and enjoy some television.
See how speaking about enjoying some television.
Oh that episode was amazing.
(35:36):
It was good.
It was really good.
Welcome to the party.
Yeah.
I'm glad you found the quarter.
I'm going to take my time with it because it's going to be a long time before we get
any more of it.
I just finished watching the last episode of the season.
The most recent season of Demon Slayer and it was phenomenal.
(35:57):
Oh you finished watching the last season.
No.
There's going to be another half.
Yeah, yeah, there's going to be more.
Oh it's a movie.
Oh.
There's going to be more.
No more seasons.
Shut up you piss.
So there's still going to be more.
You're a fucking piss.
(36:19):
They'll still break it into a season though, surely.
Like even if it's a movie they'll break it up into twenty.
I love to watch anime with dubs.
Real anime enjoyers use subs.
I am happy to watch subs and I do watch subs.
I have watched subs.
But I started Demon Slayer on a dub.
(36:40):
I'm going to finish it on a dub.
I'm not swapping my place around.
I feel like we don't need to explain what subs and dubs are but just in case subs are
being subtitles and dubs are being dubbed over in English.
I was really hoping you'd say dub titles.
Dub titles.
I thought, I was just like, please fuck this up.
(37:06):
Please fuck this up.
Thanks man.
You wouldn't have let me fucking live that down.
No, no.
Fucking dub titles.
Wouldn't have been my new league of legends name and everything.
That's great.
Anyway, that's a really good TV show.
(37:30):
And you've been watching the boys.
And I've been watching the boys.
The boys are just...
Fucking welcome to the party.
So yeah, okay, alright.
Settle down.
I've got a life, remember?
I am your fucking life.
Yeah, right over there.
(37:54):
Anyway, careful with overwhelm.
It can lead to...
It can fuck you up.
Yeah, it really can.
If you're really overwhelmed with stuff, it can stop you from doing a lot of things to
your fullest, being a hundred percent in different activities and things that you do in your
day-to-day life.
So it's really important to get on top of the overwhelm.
(38:22):
It's the same as any of the mental health topics that we've spoken about.
If you let it get too out of control, it starts to affect everything.
It'll start off as being a bit overstressed about something or a bit over emotional.
And then all of a sudden you're not sleeping, you're not eating, you're fucking health problems,
(38:43):
it spirals out into your relationships and friendships.
Fucking just...
Long story short, keep on top of shit.
Keep learning the signs.
Yeah, that's a good point.
Yeah, nip it in the bud.
Good saying.
(39:04):
Is that a fucking saying you haven't heard before either?
No.
Of course I heard that before.
(39:26):
I think fuck, I thought you were serious.
I was just fucking...
No, no, I just wanted to see your reaction.
Hmm, anyway, look, we better take a quick little break thing that we do and then...
I don't even need a break now, so...
Chat about some music?
No, you don't.
All right.
Well, here's a word from our sponsors.
(39:52):
And we'll be back in a moment.

Welcome back to this week's episode of the Pain in Our Head podcast.
Thank you for joining us.
(40:13):
I was going to say joining us, but this isn't live.
Thanks for listening.
A bit of a please let me fucking get comfortable before you cut straight back in, you munt.
I like to keep you on your toes.
Look, we've been talking about overwhelm and its effect it can have on you or the symptoms
of overwhelm.
(40:33):
These toes.
What it can do to...
I've never seen your foot tattoo.
I'm actually very glad I finally got to see that.
I've been, yeah.
No, no.
That's right.
(40:54):
Because you were going to get, you're going to get fuck yeah on your knuckles.
You've said this in the podcast.
You're going to get fuck yeah on your knuckles.
And you're like, no, I can't do that.
But I'll get it on my foot.
So I got fuck on one foot, yeah on the other one.
Yeah.
Fuck yeah.
Fuck yeah.
Because I say it a lot.
Fuck yeah.
Fuck yeah.
(41:14):
And so we've been talking about lots of different things.
So yeah, thanks for listening.
Hope you've enjoyed it so far.
We're going to chat about a little bit of music now.
I want to firstly talk about Jack Black because we went on a massive tangent in the break
and spoke about...
We got a fucking singalong.
We did have a singalong.
Yeah, Tenacious D, the Pick of Destiny.
(41:36):
If you haven't seen it...
I want to hear that singalong now.
Go sing it.
Yeah, yeah.
I'll clip it.
Anyway, we were singing one of the songs from the movie.
Great movie.
And just, yeah, we're talking about Jack Black.
He's got an amazing voice.
Envious of it.
Like just the highs and the lows and the mids.
(41:57):
Just his range is incredible.
Yeah.
Brilliant.
Really, really cool.
Yeah.
Anyway, that was it.
That's all I wanted to say about that.
Yeah, just shout out.
Shout out Jack Black.
We love you.
We do.
You'll never listen to this, but oh well.
(42:18):
I can dream, Harold.
You seen that?
My reference is a shit.
Anyway, what are you talking about this week?
Predator.
Predator.
Siamese.
I am surprised you didn't think of that earlier because you've been slamming that.
(42:42):
It's a fucking banger.
It's good.
It's very good.
It's quite drum and bass, but also metal.
And I'm fucking here for it because I love drum and bass and, you know, pendulum.
We still haven't spoken about pendulum.
(43:03):
Can we just do it now?
Okay, let's do a ruffle.
Because we're talking about drum and bass.
Yeah.
Okay.
Pendulum.
Yeah, fuck pendulum.
Pendulum.
Rob Squire.
I fucking love you.
Rob Squire is the lead singer for pendulum.
He's Australian born, but then he moved over to the UK because that's where the fucking
(43:23):
drum and bass was huge.
I'm a sort of Australian, but they're not.
Oh my God.
Immersion album.
With like watercolor, witchcraft.
Damn, I fucking love that album.
(43:47):
Crush.
Crush is on that album too.
And then Devin Townsend did a remix of Crush, which is even fucking better than the original,
which I found extremely hard to believe could ever be done, but here we fucking are.
Oh man, like just brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant band.
(44:08):
I fucking love them.
They're fantastic.
There's a, I think they've done a few like a versions, haven't they?
Yeah, I think so.
They've come back a couple of times.
Yeah, but there's one that you showed me and I just enjoyed the shit out of it.
I can't remember if it was Antihero, Colorfast.
(44:29):
Yeah, they did their own, they did the, in the same setting, they did their own version,
so their own song, which was Colorfast.
And then they did the Antihero by Taylor Swift.
Yes.
Yeah, just fantastic.
I just, it's just so, they're talented.
They just, I honestly, I hate using that word too actually, cause it's hard work.
(44:53):
It's not talent.
You put in hard work and that's what you get, but cause I, you know, if you say talent,
that just undermines people's hard work.
Anyway, I'm mad at myself for using that word.
And yeah, that is fantastic.
They're just incredible musicians.
The fact that they get that sound from their instruments that they play is just incredible.
Incredible.
(45:13):
What was?
Love the electric kit too.
There was another song by Dereck Sancho.
It had that real big fucking heavy, like, I was like, Oh, I skipped to this part of
the song and you're just like.
Not sure, but so many good songs.
(45:35):
Looking it up now cause it's going to fucking.
Yeah.
It was a recent one.
Maybe from the, um.
Come Alive.
Come Alive.
Yeah.
Holy shit.
Like the song's great for the whole thing.
And then all of a sudden it just like gets heavy as shit and you're just like, mm.
(45:58):
Also I don't know if you knew, but they like sort of like broke up for a while.
Oh really?
They went and created Knife Party.
Oh, Knife Party.
Yeah.
Hmm.
I have not heard any of their stuff.
I'll introduce you to a, after this episode I'll introduce you to Knife Party.
(46:21):
Yeah.
Okay.
Knife Party.
Fucking Pendulum.
Yeah.
Okay.
But it was just like two or three of them went off and did it.
Okay.
I'd project, well, it was, it was going to be like their main thing and then they come
back to Pendulum and think, fuck.
Pendulum.
(46:42):
Yep.
Just, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
And I was very impressed when you showed me cause I'd never heard of them before.
And I'm not really into that style or genre, but no, I just, I just thoroughly enjoyed
it.
Yeah.
Yeah, man.
I had a friend from World of Warcraft introduced me to Pendulum like back during the original
(47:06):
days of World of Warcraft.
He was like, Oh, check out the, check out this song.
And he's like, do you like drum and bass?
I'm like, I don't fucking know.
So he showed me painkiller.
Yeah.
Okay.
And I'm reaching in my pocket for, they've changed the lyrics to that.
Cause it was originally, I'm reaching in my pocket for a painkiller.
It's about doing drugs.
(47:28):

I don't think it's any good.
I don't mind it.
Sorry.
