Speaker 1 (00:02):
Good start, a good start.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Welcome, Welcome on a good start.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Sorry, Welcome along to Day five of the Export Ultra
Beer Garden Tour to Texas, Austin, Austin, Texas, Austin, Texas.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
The Agenda Podcast Texas Edition, brought to you by Export Ultra. Boy,
it's been a day. We had a day yesterday.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
We had ourselves day, We had ourselves a full on day.
It was hot as hell yesterday. I feel like that
was the hottest day that we've had.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Yeah. I don't even remember really how it started.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Terry Blacks, Terry Blacks, Terry Blacks was the hell of
an experience.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Wasn't it.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Texas barbecue Obviously you've got to tick it off the
list when you come to Texas.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
But how do you choose one because there's so many,
and every single person wants to recommend you a different one,
tell you that the last one you were recommended it
is wrong, and not to go to that one.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Yeah, I think when I thought that we're going to
be going to a Texas barbecue, I imagined like sit down outside,
maybe with colored lights, us on strings, and someone would
come to you and you'd order some food and then
they'd bring it to you and you'd eat it and
you'd leave some beers. Maybe I was not expecting what
(01:12):
we was essentially like a prison cafeteria in Disneyland. That's
how I described that. We lined up and the line
was out the door and it was hot, hot, Oh
my god, Thank god that someone has thought that it's
a good idea to sell drinks in the line. So
(01:33):
they actually you're walking along and because the line sort
of goes through the restaurant, they're at different stations. There
are two different stops where people are offering you beers that.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
You can just drink while you're waiting in line. It
took full advantage of both opportunities there as well.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
And it does changes it because back in New Zealand
there'd be some sort of law against that. But it
turns queuing up for the restaurant from something where you're like, well,
I'm not going in there because I'm not going to
queue for that long. So like all of a sudden,
that's part of the experience and you're just hanging out
in the queue of the beer.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Now that all changes once you get in the.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Door, because once you walk in that door, you are
under heavy fire, heavy fire, heavy fire.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
People are screaming it.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
You can't out because the whole thing is they're trying
to get through that line as quickly as possible. But
you've never I mean we've never been to a barbecue
joint before, let alone this specific one.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
And they want to know straight away what do you want?
You want?
Speaker 3 (02:23):
They're yelling at you. It's so overwhelming. I've got two
beers in my hands and barely hold my tray.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I was like a bit of mac and cheese, some
of them whatever it out, keep over, move, move, move.
It's a buffet. Yeah, it was a buffet.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
I mean a buffet under heavy fire though, because then
you come to the after the mac and cheese and
the bean section, you get shunted onto the meat section,
which is basically a lineup of ten people just carving meat.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Yeah, non stop, non stop, and they go, do you
want some of this? Yep?
Speaker 3 (02:53):
And then they put it on the plane on the brisket.
Yet done some of these rips? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
And then when I by the time I turned then
the paint and then the time I turned around, my
plate could not have had more meat on it. And
I didn't realize until I turned around, was standing it,
steering it.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
I was like, that's way too much. Yeah, and then
they weigh it, yeah, and then you pay for it
my weight.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah. Like I didn't know.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
I was confused because I looked up at the menu
and I'm like, oh, that all looks good, yeah, brisket,
and I'm looking down.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
I don't even know what anything was.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
And then it turns out I was actually I was
getting my meal for myself, my partner, Tossi, and Kate
from DBA, and so I was operating three people's meals. Well,
I didn't know what anyone wanted. I was getting a
huge amount of pressure at me from the sky. I
had six different things of beans. For some reason, the
beans woman, she just wanted to throw beans at me.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I had so many green beans on this plate. I
was like, I.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Don't want this many beans. I just want some beans.
I don't want essentially a field full of beans. I
had a field of beans.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Well, you when I used to add an avalanche of
orders because everyone was in a panic behind you as well,
Joe behind you just went same as him, half a cow,
and then behind him someone else panic can we went
same as him? Basic, So all of the.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
New Zealanders who were completely overwhelmed, ended up worth like
a farm full of meat.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
It was one one kettleby seats really.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
I think I barely got through half of it, and
I was straight away like, so the plan was to
go to Terry Blacks thing goes straight, or basically make
our way down to the festival after that. But by
the time I got about a third of the way
through my meal, I was like, there's no way, I'm
gonna have to take this back to the hotel. And
so that's exactly what we did. Now that that paid off.
The end of the night, well, we intreated to a
buffet of cold meats.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
And certainly dead because you were obviously your collection of
meats from around Austin Kisers continued yesterday.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
But when you were sitting down at the table, I
saw people coming from far and white. There were people
coming from Louisiana, there were people coming from Tennessee just
to see how much meat a man could put on
his plate.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
And it wasn't your fault.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
You weren't trying to eat that much, but you were
people taking photo of you with your meat, which bear.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
In mind I was already massively over stimulated by that point,
don't have a camera force in my face. By five
consecutive people just tipped me over the edge. Became in
a traction. I became a local attraction. I think I've
gone viral in the state of Texas.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
It's a Disneyland of meat terry blacks. That amazing terry blacks. Yeah,
my has making so much money.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Now they didn't make a lot of money on the
sale of this hat because I so, you're in the
queue and they matched you through the merchandise, and I
was like, this hat's quite cool. I picked it up
and put it on. I had Lane's felt cowboy head
on at that point I was like, oh, puck. And
then they start yelling at you, pick your tray out,
come over here, put it down, I think.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
And then so then I put the cowboy hat back
on my head.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
But then it was on top of this hat, and
I forgot that I even had this hat until I
got back out. So I'd sat down and had five
people take my photo that I even had this hat,
and so I didn't.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Pay for it. I stole it. I've stolen this.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Hat, okay, but you feel like you feel justified because
you feel like swings around. They gave you too much meat.
They set you up and knew, but you made them
a lot of money. Given the next five people behind
just went same as him.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
What pressure that The pressure, man, I've never felt so
much pressure to move through the pace because there were
so many people on this restaurant. It was so full
and I didn't think, but man, people were eating, they
were getting the food. Then they were going around. Then
you have to find a table bucket next thing.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
You know that.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
I thought they're not going to be able to turn
over the tables cook enough. They were turning over the
tables quick enough.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
And also eating a lot of meat under extreme heat,
there's quite a challenge as well, because you start to sweat,
you get quite hot, and then get even hotter when
it's thirty eight to grease or whatever it was.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
You golda felt head on a pair of cowboy Yeah,
it's you were wearing cowboy boots. My plan was to
wear them to the festival, same with the hat, but
there was after sitting in that heat eating all that meat,
there was just no chance, absolutely no chance.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
So we started that well that was midday, so we
went to that to the pool. We had a bit
of a depth then went straight to Terry Black's.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Yeah. But in the middle of that, so we I
go to get into the pool. I'm in the pool.
Then all of a sudden, I get a message from Joe.
I basically just got into the pool. I get a
video from Joe. It's a video of our bathroom. He
zooms up, pans up to the light in the ceiling
and there is water pouring out of the light in
the ceiling.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
It looked like a shower.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
It looked like one of those you know, those rooftop
showers drops.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
It was like a water feature. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
He's like, this is going to be a problem, and
sure enough it was. So they moved us side. I
just got into the pool. I was like, here we go.
The pool's going to affect me. And then we get
I get a message, You've got to come back. Your
whole room up and move it. So there's a Whitney
Houston situation going on above view.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Someone's got into their bath it's overflowed and it's coming through.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Apparently it was two stories above you. Yes, so we
were on floor eight. It came from Floyd hen and
eleven eleven.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
What was happening up there on floor eleven. There's a
lot of weird things.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
And when I saw that spank, I heard that spanking
the other days.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
A lot of stuff happening in this.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
So you can hear a lot what you can hear
what's going on a lot.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Yeah, I imagine you'll be utilizing that. You've been by
yourself in your room, so you have been utilizing what's.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Going on with the walls.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Well, I think that's why there's been an embargo on
cleaning it because I've had I've had my first service
last night of my room.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
No, they've just let this place sort of a bit like,
we won't go into that room.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
We'll take a quick break because we'll be back with
the final day of Austin City limits and what we
got up to, because I think we had two very
different experiences.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Yes, So there we were at Terry Black's.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
These guys Joe and man Iah came back to drop
off half a calogram of meat half a catabstia into
their room, just to add to the other food that
they had sitting in the fridge, which included a chicken
fried rice and two half eaten burritos. And then it
was I think I was on drink number This is
(09:09):
a concern for me. I was on drink number six
and it was two in the afternoon. And if you're
on drink six, for me, anyway turn the afternoon, there's
only one way that's going. And my partner told that
she had polished off to drinks in a bottle of
wine by that stage, so she was a bottle of
wine through.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
And a couple of drinks.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
And then we hit the Mexican restaurant, Yes on the Way,
which was only two doors down from Terry Black, so
we didn't get very fast. They had air conditioning, they
did it was that was beautiful. It's actually a very
cool bar. That was a really cool bar. And we
got stuck into the tequilas and there were lots of
different tequilas.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
There, margharita.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
When Johe and I arrived, they tried to tempt us
with an avocado margarita. They said, trust us, we'll give
you a bit that you may have sent the photo
of John and I drinking out of the same there
was a little sampler of the avocado thing.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Yeah, it was as great. That's I think what was
going on there.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
We so When we came back to join you guys
after dropping off our industrial quantities and meet back at
the hotel, we got on the Lime scoters. Joe going
on a traditional limeskooter and I got They got line
bikes over here, they call them Glide and it doesn't
have pedals, so you just sit on it and just
drive it like a Lime scooter with your thumb.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
You don't have to peddle at all, which is God
and the heat idea. I mean, you can't be.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Bucking around, but I mean we immediately almost got wiped out.
We had a horn honk at us when we when
we This is the dangerous part about It's not the
cars driving on the wrong side of the road. It's
you looking the wrong way when you're crossing the road
because you go to look left expecting the cars to
be coming from that direction. They're not, They're coming from
the other direction. We did that and we just about
got run over by Chevy Silverado on East Sixth Street
(10:48):
on our way down to see you guys. But that
was one of the most fun rides I've ever had.
You know, when you get on a line bike or
scooter in the overseas, it can be some of the
most fun times, and it was. We ended up in
a bit of a convoy of people making the way
to the festival, and Jesus, it was a good time.
We watched some wasted guy Stacker's bike when he tried
to park it eventually rejoined you guys. It was a
(11:11):
good spot where we were because it was only about
a ten minute walk to the and the way the
way the walker is set up, there's just something happening
the entire way. There's free this, free electrolytes. You want
an energy drink? Do you want to can of coke?
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (11:26):
All free on your way down there too. Cops on
two of the biggest horses I've ever seen in my life.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Interesting they have cops on Clydesdale's. Yeah, like kind of horsey.
Imagine he's in a law enforcement capacity, No, normally just
quite good for towing things, Yeah, a plow perhaps, Yeah, well, yeah,
I think that's potentially what it might have been.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Although were on draft horses is what it was. Yeah, right,
they should have been. I mean, I suppose they weren't
gonna have to chase someone else down. And it was also
on a horse. How quick did they need.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
To be true.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Okay, so we make it make our way to the festival.
The queue to get in Sunday must have been I
looked like the busiest day. I don't know why because
but the Q was ginormous and I immediately drafted to
the left with Neck and Sam and a couple of
others are part of the party, and I turned around
(12:18):
and then I found myself completely on my own. Now later,
Neck and Sam had popped into the bushes for a
bushwhee and they're not big on bushways here.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Who is You've got your You're standing there.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
There's a like I don't know how many people what
I was saying, thousands are thousands for its massive cues
And you're not meant to there's bush. I know there's
trees and stuff around, but you know you're meant to
wait until you get.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Inside anyway toilets day bushweed. And then I was on
my own. And then I eventually met up with everyone,
and I was intending on going to the Killers and
intending on going to tea pain, but instead I found
myself front row at the most hardcore DMB set I
think I've ever been to. What was his name, John Summon?
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Summit.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Holy ship balls, that was quite something.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Well, we couldn't get hold of you.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
I think at one point there was seventeen missed phone
calls that we've tried to send your way. We finally
did get hold of you, and we could barely hear you.
You're like, it was about half an hour from the
gig starting, and You're like on front row and I'm
not going to leave.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I know I can. I couldn't leave. I couldn't not leave.
We barged our way to the front. So Tom and
Haley and Nikita and Cres got it. We got in there,
and you couldn't move. You couldn't get out. I basically
trampled a poor grippled lady. You had to pick her
off the floor as she put together her walking stick.
(13:46):
I was like, ah, ship and then basically endured what
was about an hour into the DMB set. I was like,
this is quite good, but I'd really like to go now.
You can't get you can't get out stuck, so you
just got to let yourself go. I was I was
bouncing up and down.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Yeah, but it was.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
I knew that it wasn't take you long. As the
Lizard King. It wouldn't take you long to find your lizards.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Yeah, and you found your listen, stay four, but you
found your listen.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
I found them.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
And the flames were so close that it was I
felt like it was burning me.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
They were that close. And this guy, John Summit, apparently
former football player, college football player who decided to give
it up and then become a DJ. He spent most
of it semi naked. Yeah, good rig. He had a
good rig. He had a good rig. And a lot
of dancers loads, like, so many people just dancing around
(14:40):
the stage. Fifty people dancing around the stage.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
And he's just on the ones and twos. He's just
on the ones and two people like him with the
crowd and tire. Yeah, shitch here. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
I think Chris may have cried, she loves Johnson. Oh
my god, her hall pass her hall passes John Summit.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
And was she up the front with you, yes, Oh
but she was, she was. She was having the time
of her life.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I hadn't never heard of John Summit. I mean I
can't imagine anyone has. And even in fact, while we
were at the Killers later on, this girl turned around
and usked me and Joe if I knew who John
Summit was. No, and then she's like, where are you
all from? And then I can't remember what happened after that,
(15:24):
and then.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
She seems like she really just wanted to talk to you. Yeah,
that's what she said.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
She said, I just wanted to talk to you, and
I was like, I'm spoken for, please, So well, you
were off with the lizards.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
I was being propositioned with the king lizards. He is
being proposition of the colors. But also we went to
T Pain and T Pain Man.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
That was good.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
He was He was dressed in a pink and brown
cowboy outfit, tight as anything, with blue, pink, brown and
blue cowboy outfit, and he just sort of took off
one bit at a time. In the end, he got
down to his pink, brown and blue ca our boy
chap pants that were kind of shorts and his trainers
and a T shirt was a picture of himself on it,
(16:07):
which I thought was quite cold.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
But he had a good.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Vibe, and there's something I found him very relatable, particularly
at the point where he said, you.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Understand, my knees a real sol and I came here.
He's like, I don't know if he saw the clips
last week.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
But I'm older shit now, and I'm I'm a week
older than the clips you saw, and my knees are sa.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
I don't know if I'll be able to do what
I was doing last week. Yeah, and then he can't
go to give it.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
He keeps sitting down for best and he's just like,
I am so tired, and then he's just like god, damn.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Then the crowd starts cheering and he stands up again.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
He's like, damn, every time I try and catch my breath,
just give me back up on my feet again.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
He was good, but he was very likable. Yeah he was.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
And man, his dancers holy. And then the India was like,
He's like, I want to shout up for my dancers.
They made me look way harder than what I am.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
It looked like I did something. He was great. You
felt like you connected with him at one point.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
I definitely connected him over the knee stuff, man, because
I was My knee was sore too, But I know
what that feels like. He seemed about forty eight. I
think you had the same It would be he he
for me.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
I was at high school when tea pain was all
the rage, so he was I was sending videos back
to the message she loves tea painter.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
He did a cover of Journey Don't Stop Believing Tennessee Whiskey,
which was great Tennessee Whiskey. The crowd was super into it. No,
he was good man, it was real good. Pain was great.
It was a proper show that guy put on.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
We then spent the next sort of hour trying to
get hold of Lane. We cut it, We found out
who he was. He was, he was stuck with an
I was full the lizard cag out in front of that.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
He was in the B set. He was in the terrarium.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Yeah, there was no getting him out of there, and
there was no getting to you either. I was like,
I want to go find him. They're like, you're never
going to get to the front way.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
It was.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
It was intense even getting in there.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
So we went back and found our way to We
walked around. We had access to the the trades entrance,
like that's how we got out the night before. And
we found that you could walk around there and then
you could get in, but only at certain entrances, And
so the further you walked it was more and more risky.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Because it was like, we might not be able to
get in here. We're going to talk all the way
back around.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
We're talking like kilometers here, and we got right round
to the side of the stage the Killers were about
to perform on, and just tried our dumb luck and
good and we just ended up side of stage, not
side of but like beside the stage.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
It was too good to be true that because we
were literally actually we could have we could have touched Brandon.
We were like way to it from and there was
so much room up there, and we were like, wait,
this is this feels like some kind of real VIP zone.
And then sure enough we had to all of a
sudden scan our passes and then it went red, you're
(18:54):
not allowed there. And then so they ushered us into
the rejected rejected VIP people who managed to get through
one line but not into the next.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
But the rejected VIP area wasn't a bad place.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
That was a great spot, and they were very welcoming
people as well, and they had just been humbled, all
of them.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
People who had been injected from But to be reject
a VIP reject is higher than a general admission, and
it's all about status in the states.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
It totally is.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
I mean, we tried to get on a golf cart
so many times and we just couldn't quite do it,
and we were so close. One time, I waited in
a line for ages and then I was ready to
go and the woman said, I said, oh, can you
take us around the around the outside, around the track
and she's like, yeah, yeah, it's good. You just wait
in the line. It's just you know, I said no, no,
I've got some other friends. And she's like, okay, good,
(19:46):
and then so she goes. And then that the golf
cut arrived and she goes, you're ready to go, and
then I saw these guys. I'm like, hey, come over here.
So they came over. We were song and we were
about to get in the golf cut. Everything's about to
get We're going to be taken around to the front,
and then the woman goes on, you've got open vessels,
and we're all sitting there without drinks, holding to open vessels.
You can't take an open vessel on the golf cart.
(20:07):
And we're like, we just paid for these drinks like
fifty bucks each and I wasn't prepared to charge it.
And then we're like okay, we're walking again. So then
we never got on the bloody golf cart and we
nearly were there. No, I Meanwhile, people are going past
us and golf carts, partying, having a great time, which
couldn't manage.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
It, and we're back on the old Witwa Express around
the Trade entrance. Yeah, and then we got there, and
the Killers are great. The Killers are great, but I
feel like I've seen the Killers a few times and that.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Just I don't know. I'll tell you what it is.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
It's you've got Brandon Flowers, who's the front guy, who's
dressed in a blue suit, looking immaculate, full rints, teeth
as white as anything, hasn't had a drink in twenty
five years, right, you know, un hungover meanwhile and looking
amazing meanwhile short though the rest of the band they
(21:01):
look like tramps, like none of them. They've all got
gray here, none of them allowed to cut their here.
They've all got beards, they haven't shaven. I don't think
he allows them to shave. They're all in black. Some
of them look like Victorian era Dickenzie and Chimney sweeps.
And then he's up there, just looking fresh as anything.
Even the backing singers that he has the females. I mean,
(21:24):
they're not have to be good looking either.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
No.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
I also there's another part of it that so he's playing,
he's got his two pianos that he plays as little
synthesizer keyboard situations. But he's got a giant neon k
in front of him. Okay for killers, I presume, but
it's right in front of where his hands are on
the thing.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
And I was like, I don't think he's planned that.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
And from where we were standing, could you could see
the side of it, and he's definitely pushing on these
But I don't think he has planned that.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
I don't think he's plugged in. I reckon, You're right,
that was a prop. Yeah, it just gave him something
else to do because he's not got a guitar. He's
not wondering around. But I got to say the bit
that breaks down on that I got sold but I'm
not a soldier and things that I've done that comes
at the end of the set.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
It's pretty bloody good, like they work that.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
He works that, yeah, and really builds it up like
it was a really good show.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
It was. It was a really good show. The crowd
I kin of loved it.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Yeah, it was, but it just lacked that sort of
It kind of felt like a megachurch performance.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Yeah, just standing up in front of the church. And
whereas Tea Pain you felt like, I don't know, yeah,
Tea Pain is a man of the people.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
And then see the opposite of Brandon Flowers is joining
and Casa Blankets from the Strokes. Yeah, that is the
opposite about I think there's somewhere in the middle, you know,
like somewhere in the middle would be nice a guy
who's not a complete cunt but also has had a
hangover in the last twenty five years. Yeah, well I
think it's Tea Pain. Yeah, you're right with knee problems. Yeah,
(22:52):
knee paint. So then we're back. Then we're back. We
hitted back at that stage, backstage, Yes, up with the
Lizard King, Gelaane.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Fresh. I was expecting to see you with complete dead
lizard eye.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Oh, I know, because it was a good two and
a half hours of jumping up and down. No drinks,
because you couldn't get any drinks in the Obviously, one
lady did get carried out in front of us. Apparently
she'd odeed on some sort of fentanyl situation, which then
resulted in a lot of feninal anti fencinyl spray going around. Yeah,
(23:30):
but I just thought she got too hot, because it
was pretty hot. I thought she'd just past out, but
apparently not. So I was pretty fresh. I was pretty
relieved to see you guys.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
So yeah, I could see that you were excited, and
then we ended up hanging out there for a while.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Then we walked. Before that though, jury you met your
new favorite front person?
Speaker 4 (23:50):
Oh yes, yes, from Rainbow Kitten Surprise. So as we
were arriving, we saw this band, Rainbow Kitten Surprise. They
were an alternative country rock act. I guess you'd say,
but with the front person whose trends and they.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Them they are blonde. Here for female presenting female.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Great cancer, great cancers.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
But a decent package operating. I mean, I don't want to.
I'm just trying to paint a picture.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
We can jump on our Instagram because it is up
there and you look at you look delighted.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Well, I dressed.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
In it when when they were when they were performing,
I guess they were wearing a black How would you.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Describe I would describe it as like a harness you'd
put on to go bungee jumping. Yep, it's just all
straps and it covered very little, yeah, and there was
a lot going on to cover too, a little.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Bit of Twisted Sister kind of vibe to me from
person from Twisted Sister D whatever his name was.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
So and then spent a lot of time.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
They spent a lot of time lying around on their
back on the ground during the performance.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
But they were bloody goods.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
It was their finishing move was just falling backwards. It
was a lot of fun going on, slamming into the
ground and then all of a sudden being up like
cockroachcroaching on the stage.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
It was quite weird. It was weird, but it was bloody.
The band were really good.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
They were a good band. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
But then obviously we were backstage and you saw them
having a quiet moment.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Yeah, having a little moment.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
I thought, here's a photo op, you know, because we're
backstage where all the artists are, and we're right by
where they where their dressing room was. So I sort
of went and had a photo and they were having
a pretty serious conversation with some people.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
I don't know what it was about, but they did
not seem to be having a very good time.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
It was like, maybe it was feedback about the cockroaching.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Yeah, I don't know what it was. Well, post show,
you'd be kind of on a high, but they weren't
at all.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
They weren't happy, and they'd been there for a while,
and I had seen them reject a couple of people's
advances for a photo.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Yeah, but I thought I'd love a photo.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
So I went up there and I did a bit
of gurgling as well before I went up, just to
make sure that I got their name right, as I thought,
if I turn up and say I could have a
photo and they're like, you don't even know who I am,
at least I needed to know the name and a
little bit of history, and I knew that they transitioned
in twenty twenty two. Did some gurgling. Their name was
Ella right now, and I didn't want to dead name them.
(26:28):
That was important, and so I said to them, Hi,
I saw your performance. I thought you guys were amazing,
and I just was wondering if you would like that,
if I could have a photo place. If in any
way it's annoying, you can't be bothered, I totally understand,
and they very kindly did not reject me. Yeah, I
(26:49):
had a photo token and it's a cracking photo.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
It's quite something.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
It's on the Instagram. It's on the Hurtigy Breakfast and
on the a sec Instagram. You want to check it out.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Wish I could say lovely vibe and lovely person, but
I got the vibe of not very happy.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Yeah you look happy.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
I was very happy. They looked desperately unhappy. Yeah. Yeah,
well I've been having a photo taken with me. It's
not that it's not that exciting. It was annoying.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Okay, so we found it, we found each other. We
take a quick break because we later on we jumped.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
We bumped into Jack Reacher.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Right so after that concert finish and once again I
think we were the last to leave the festival.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Again, we walked through it.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
It was I could feel the energy, it was still there,
but man, there was nothing there anymore.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Pretty cool. I quite like walking through the empty festival.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
It's also when it's quite strange because in New Zealand,
if you got caught walking through a festival out there,
someone would yell at you. At some stage, yeah get
the fuck out of.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Here, or yeah, we had beers through cans of beer.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
We went to the Instagram fly trap area and did
our own instagrams again on the mirrors and all sorts.
And then the exit. Exit was interesting because we divided
up and we got on the back of a chariot.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Was it pure you on that chariot?
Speaker 4 (28:12):
Man?
Speaker 2 (28:12):
This me? You and Kate? Yeah, we went far and uber.
Your chariot costs you how much? Sixty dollars? Yeah, so
our thing was like thirty Yeah. No, but we had
one very comfort. We had way more fun. We did
a conditioning. We were whipping him like a horse to
you need to beat these guys. Yeah, well we're in
a race. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
When you were at the traffic lights, he did us.
He circled you like a shark. Because these these things,
it's basically an e bike with bench seat on the back,
and they absolutely go for it. They go around corners
faster than they go straight. Yeh, it's quite terrifying, but
it feels feel overly scared. When he did the lap
of you guys, we ended up on the wrong side
(28:53):
of the road. That was a little concerning, but it
was worth it.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
Yeah, you were doing the fingers to us. Our driver
was enjoying it two weeks. But I thought, if a
police person comes along here while you guys are lapping
us at the lights, you mean to do circumnavigation of
another car.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
That's not good.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
So we end up at a bar and the first
drink ordered was called a medical grade Martini, which is
basically a bottle of gin that was straight gin.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
It was the most horrific thing I've ever drunk in
my life.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
And it came in a Martini glass fall to the
broom like every drink does here. And then it came
with a milk milk bottle with the rest of the drunk.
Isn't it that they couldn't fit into the glass? I
was like, I'm not gonna be able to drink this,
and I couldn't. I had a white hot crack at it,
and I shouldn't have because that sent me to the moon.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
It was basically just diesel was so bad.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
Yeah, Well, Lane thought it was a good idea to
then chase that with a beer, but I think I luckily,
I said, I had a couple of SIPs of that
and then went straight into the beer. But then I
met the guy that looked like Marcus Lush.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
He was a PlayStation Charlie.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
And he.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
Said that I looked like and educated John Cena is
the way he described.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
It was good.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
It was good. You were basically you were having a
look alike because you look like Yeah, a guy and
he's on his name is Marcus lash and then he
said can I get a photo? And I went that
the phone. I said this, he is not missy enough
and I.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
For you. He goes, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
So Lane was was directing this guy to look more
like Marcus Lush and then he's like, oh, I'm a
big fanny or country blah blah blah. You quickly get
to politics or people like that because they're drunk. And
he's like, you know, I loved your Prime Minister just
ender An. I said, oh, yeah, I know her, and
he's like, oh do. I said, here's a phone number,
and I went into my phone and I had just
phone number on my phone and I said here it
(30:48):
is and he goes, that's not her number. I said,
that is it's actually a number because what you've got
the Prime mins number and it's not the Prime minister anymore.
But yeah, and he was like wow. He goes, could
I have it? I said, no, you can't have it.
But he was he wanted to move to New Zealand.
I'm like, he was really down on America, that guy.
And I was like, this is this thing. You talk
(31:09):
to these people for about five minutes. It's kind of interesting.
And then he started into health care. It's like, I
don't want to talk about their health system.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Yeah, talk about railways or something.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
About the health system.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
It's you've got good things in your country. There's bad
things in your country. There's good bad. We've got good
things in our country. There's bad things. There's good and
bad everywhere, and it's all generally fine in the end.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Yeah. I mean they've got stuff over here that we
don't have, and we have stuff that they don't have.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
And then then and walked.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Jack Reacher.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
Oh yeah, so what was he six seven?
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Now? Man, I agrees with it. I was disputing how
tall he was. I say, sex five six sex.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
He was not not only tall, very very broad, he
was imperfect.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
He was like he was in proportion.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
He was best. And immediately we gravitated towards him and
just caught him one of the greatest specimens on earth,
which quite od.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
He gravitated towards him, and so they were just like,
well look at him, how amazingly big you were.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
I was like, they were marveling it.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Yeah, and then he got thrown out. How man, his
mates got thrown out by a tiny bouncer and I
was like, that is so audacious of that little bit too,
bag No. I think his mate was a bit hammered.
And they said, he said, come on down to this
pool hall down one. There's a place down the like Toyhill.
Piled out and followed Jack Reacher and then I said
(32:37):
to Jack reach here do you play pool? And he goes,
oh yeah, and was like, okay, you would have played
me man dulcie, because I was getting I was like,
we'll fucking waste you.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
I don't think so He's.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Like fucking massive.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
And then across the pool table anyway, I said, I'll break,
and he went to the Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
I was here for this.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Yeah, we broke.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
He went to the bar and Lane goes, oh break,
and so Lamee breaks and then we put all of
the solids in the park. So when he came back,
it was just stripes and the black and he goes
he goes, yo, cheated.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
It was the hell of a break that you should
have said that he.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Tried, He tried to play and then he sunk the
white tryner at the.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
And he shook our hands, came.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Eyes were amazing.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
He told her I've got his number, got his number.
See how he's going this?
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Well, where is it? What was in the military?
Speaker 3 (33:49):
Yes, military personal protection and when in as military days
he was posted to Australaton Clayton.

That's right, he is.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
This is cheese massive, so is he?
Speaker 2 (34:01):

He is now figuring around, He's like, yeah, your guys
cracked me up.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Cheer. No oh you did it. No, it's the hell
of a break.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
Every one of his own balls and none of yours
should have seen it.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
The way we were We were stuffing them in the corners,
so frantically people were looking, that's what's going on here?
Is that six trade killer over there? It's about to
turn around and sees put the balls in.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
The changerous person get angry.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
But he could be angry a whole lot of nos plaining.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
But I mean his personal Particut, He's probably gonna gun.

He definitely perceive.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
He definitely had on, haven't iver Playing basketball is no

petty on us. Yeah, that was such a cool bar.
That was the one I think you pay Is it
a photo on your story last night?
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Crackle bar?
Speaker 3 (35:02):
Oh yeah, five million bottles of whiskey and tequila life.
Speaker 4 (35:05):
Well, one stage, I looked up and I saw this
mic Tels it's or Machtels or whatever it's called.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
There's a really nice bourbon.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
I saw it on the top of the thing, and
I was like, oh, sad to Joe, that's a really
nice burbon out there. We'll get one of those. So
I said to the bar, could we have mic dos?
And so she went to the middle of the of
the bourbon bottles and I'm saying, there's got to be
a thousand bottles. Yeah, like there's so many bottles there.
And she got a mictails from sort of the middle
to bottom and I said, oh no, no, that one
up the top. And then she came back and she said,
(35:34):
there'll be two hundred.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
Dollars a sharp. She goes, is that what you're after?
Speaker 4 (35:37):
I said, no, I'll go with the one on the bottom.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Thinks very much.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
But the house spirits are known as.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Oh yeah, all Wells, so the Wells.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
Yeah, so here's a sign that said, like all Wells
five dollars, so like house spirit was five bucks, yeah,
which seemed quite good.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
Actually, that was that those dive bars were cool. That's
so cool.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
They were proper. They wouldn't pretend i've bars. They were
exactly the same as what they were in the nineteen seventies.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Yeah, dive bar, diver. I got on a fight in
the way out.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Yeah, there was in the car.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
In the car.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
It wasn't a fight, it was it was a situation.
It was bizarre.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
I just got about pricklely, you know.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
You know what happened was I've been I've been taking
the past so much over here. It was about time
someone got offended by it. That finally happened. That these
guys were having a cigarette, nas wanted one. Got to
talk into them about New Zealand blah blah blah blah.
And this one guy is Filipino, gentlemen. He asked me
what I thought his last name might be. I was like,
oh no, there's a lot of Spanish last names getting
(36:35):
about in the Philippines, something like Santas or Sanchiz or
something that you calling me Mexican. I was like, oh, no,
I know you Philippino. Then he just spins out. I
was like, what the fuck is going on?
Speaker 2 (36:46):
Here?
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Has mates dragged him across the car park and throw
him into a truck and go to leave. But for
what all you guys see is me having a conversation
that all of a sudden a guy getting dragged away
put into a truck, and I guess the assumption is
they're about to come back out with a gun, exact
my assumption.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
That's why we were like, let's get the fuck out
of here. Jack Reacher lift by that stage, so we
had no prediction, not that he would have predicted us.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
No, it was just he was just hose that and
just took massive afeas.
Speaker 4 (37:14):
We needed to get back as well by that stage
because we had meat to eat. Yeah, still meat.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
So retired back to Joe and Mini's new room, but
they'd been upgraded to after their other room flooded on
the twelfth floor.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
File it's likely to get flooded again. In the buffet
of sausages and brisket.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
I got laid out. It was a great finish to
the evening.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
It was it all came around in the end, and
there was a lot that happened yesterday, wasn't there. It's
a lot, a lot longs plans to that'll be roof.
Speaker 4 (37:46):
Surely we're hitting the rooftop pull bar. Yeah, And then
it was another beautiful day.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
Oh my god, it does like that's the first cloud
I've seen that one that whisp over there.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Oh yeah, look at that. It's another day, thirty two degrees.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
I might hit Walmart that I forgot the guy who
was the bartender on the rooftop. But we thought that,
we thought that we were hangover on that second day.
But that guy he couldn't. He was so hangover he
couldn't do anything.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
He kept turning the radio off and on in various
parts of the pool bar. So he speaks me on
in those ones than these ones, and it'll be off.
The bar was supposed to open it at eleven.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
By ten past twelve, he was still trying to work
out the garage door.
Speaker 4 (38:28):
I couldn't open the thing. He was man, he was
on the ghost slow. I can't imagine how he went
for the rest of the day.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Oh my god. So hopefully he's not on today.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
Or if he's on maybe he's recovered. Didn't go out
last night anyway, right, So we'll leave it there. We'll
let you know what occurs in the next twenty four hours,
and then we get.
Speaker 4 (38:49):
I think it was take it easy today. I think
we take it theres a lot that happened yesterday. Just
a few list things I think that would be quite good. Okay,
I think you've seen, but we'll let you go.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
The Agenda Podcast, Texas edition, brought to you by Export
Ultra
Good start, a good start.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Welcome, Welcome on a good start.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Sorry, Welcome along to Day five of the Export Ultra
Beer Garden Tour to Texas, Austin, Austin, Texas, Austin, Texas.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
The Agenda Podcast Texas Edition, brought to you by Export Ultra. Boy,
it's been a day. We had a day yesterday.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
We had ourselves day, We had ourselves a full on day.
It was hot as hell yesterday. I feel like that
was the hottest day that we've had.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Yeah. I don't even remember really how it started.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Terry Blacks, Terry Blacks, Terry Blacks was the hell of
an experience.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Wasn't it.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Texas barbecue Obviously you've got to tick it off the
list when you come to Texas.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
But how do you choose one because there's so many,
and every single person wants to recommend you a different one,
tell you that the last one you were recommended it
is wrong, and not to go to that one.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Yeah, I think when I thought that we're going to
be going to a Texas barbecue, I imagined like sit down outside,
maybe with colored lights, us on strings, and someone would
come to you and you'd order some food and then
they'd bring it to you and you'd eat it and
you'd leave some beers. Maybe I was not expecting what
(01:12):
we was essentially like a prison cafeteria in Disneyland. That's
how I described that. We lined up and the line
was out the door and it was hot, hot, Oh
my god, Thank god that someone has thought that it's
a good idea to sell drinks in the line. So
(01:33):
they actually you're walking along and because the line sort
of goes through the restaurant, they're at different stations. There
are two different stops where people are offering you beers that.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
You can just drink while you're waiting in line. It
took full advantage of both opportunities there as well.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
And it does changes it because back in New Zealand
there'd be some sort of law against that. But it
turns queuing up for the restaurant from something where you're like, well,
I'm not going in there because I'm not going to
queue for that long. So like all of a sudden,
that's part of the experience and you're just hanging out
in the queue of the beer.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Now that all changes once you get in the.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Door, because once you walk in that door, you are
under heavy fire, heavy fire, heavy fire.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
People are screaming it.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
You can't out because the whole thing is they're trying
to get through that line as quickly as possible. But
you've never I mean we've never been to a barbecue
joint before, let alone this specific one.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
And they want to know straight away what do you want?
You want?
Speaker 3 (02:23):
They're yelling at you. It's so overwhelming. I've got two
beers in my hands and barely hold my tray.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I was like a bit of mac and cheese, some
of them whatever it out, keep over, move, move, move.
It's a buffet. Yeah, it was a buffet.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
I mean a buffet under heavy fire though, because then
you come to the after the mac and cheese and
the bean section, you get shunted onto the meat section,
which is basically a lineup of ten people just carving meat.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Yeah, non stop, non stop, and they go, do you
want some of this? Yep?
Speaker 3 (02:53):
And then they put it on the plane on the brisket.
Yet done some of these rips? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
And then when I by the time I turned then
the paint and then the time I turned around, my
plate could not have had more meat on it. And
I didn't realize until I turned around, was standing it,
steering it.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
I was like, that's way too much. Yeah, and then
they weigh it, yeah, and then you pay for it
my weight.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah. Like I didn't know.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
I was confused because I looked up at the menu
and I'm like, oh, that all looks good, yeah, brisket,
and I'm looking down.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
I don't even know what anything was.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
And then it turns out I was actually I was
getting my meal for myself, my partner, Tossi, and Kate
from DBA, and so I was operating three people's meals. Well,
I didn't know what anyone wanted. I was getting a
huge amount of pressure at me from the sky. I
had six different things of beans. For some reason, the
beans woman, she just wanted to throw beans at me.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I had so many green beans on this plate. I
was like, I.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Don't want this many beans. I just want some beans.
I don't want essentially a field full of beans. I
had a field of beans.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Well, you when I used to add an avalanche of
orders because everyone was in a panic behind you as well,
Joe behind you just went same as him, half a cow,
and then behind him someone else panic can we went
same as him? Basic, So all of the.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
New Zealanders who were completely overwhelmed, ended up worth like
a farm full of meat.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
It was one one kettleby seats really.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
I think I barely got through half of it, and
I was straight away like, so the plan was to
go to Terry Blacks thing goes straight, or basically make
our way down to the festival after that. But by
the time I got about a third of the way
through my meal, I was like, there's no way, I'm
gonna have to take this back to the hotel. And
so that's exactly what we did. Now that that paid off.
The end of the night, well, we intreated to a
buffet of cold meats.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
And certainly dead because you were obviously your collection of
meats from around Austin Kisers continued yesterday.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
But when you were sitting down at the table, I
saw people coming from far and white. There were people
coming from Louisiana, there were people coming from Tennessee just
to see how much meat a man could put on
his plate.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
And it wasn't your fault.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
You weren't trying to eat that much, but you were
people taking photo of you with your meat, which bear.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
In mind I was already massively over stimulated by that point,
don't have a camera force in my face. By five
consecutive people just tipped me over the edge. Became in
a traction. I became a local attraction. I think I've
gone viral in the state of Texas.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
It's a Disneyland of meat terry blacks. That amazing terry blacks. Yeah,
my has making so much money.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Now they didn't make a lot of money on the
sale of this hat because I so, you're in the
queue and they matched you through the merchandise, and I
was like, this hat's quite cool. I picked it up
and put it on. I had Lane's felt cowboy head
on at that point I was like, oh, puck. And
then they start yelling at you, pick your tray out,
come over here, put it down, I think.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
And then so then I put the cowboy hat back
on my head.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
But then it was on top of this hat, and
I forgot that I even had this hat until I
got back out. So I'd sat down and had five
people take my photo that I even had this hat,
and so I didn't.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Pay for it. I stole it. I've stolen this.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Hat, okay, but you feel like you feel justified because
you feel like swings around. They gave you too much meat.
They set you up and knew, but you made them
a lot of money. Given the next five people behind
just went same as him.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
What pressure that The pressure, man, I've never felt so
much pressure to move through the pace because there were
so many people on this restaurant. It was so full
and I didn't think, but man, people were eating, they
were getting the food. Then they were going around. Then
you have to find a table bucket next thing.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
You know that.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
I thought they're not going to be able to turn
over the tables cook enough. They were turning over the
tables quick enough.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
And also eating a lot of meat under extreme heat,
there's quite a challenge as well, because you start to sweat,
you get quite hot, and then get even hotter when
it's thirty eight to grease or whatever it was.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
You golda felt head on a pair of cowboy Yeah,
it's you were wearing cowboy boots. My plan was to
wear them to the festival, same with the hat, but
there was after sitting in that heat eating all that meat,
there was just no chance, absolutely no chance.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
So we started that well that was midday, so we
went to that to the pool. We had a bit
of a depth then went straight to Terry Black's.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Yeah. But in the middle of that, so we I
go to get into the pool. I'm in the pool.
Then all of a sudden, I get a message from Joe.
I basically just got into the pool. I get a
video from Joe. It's a video of our bathroom. He
zooms up, pans up to the light in the ceiling
and there is water pouring out of the light in
the ceiling.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
It looked like a shower.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
It looked like one of those you know, those rooftop
showers drops.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
It was like a water feature. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
He's like, this is going to be a problem, and
sure enough it was. So they moved us side. I
just got into the pool. I was like, here we go.
The pool's going to affect me. And then we get
I get a message, You've got to come back. Your
whole room up and move it. So there's a Whitney
Houston situation going on above view.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Someone's got into their bath it's overflowed and it's coming through.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Apparently it was two stories above you. Yes, so we
were on floor eight. It came from Floyd hen and
eleven eleven.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
What was happening up there on floor eleven. There's a
lot of weird things.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
And when I saw that spank, I heard that spanking
the other days.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
A lot of stuff happening in this.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
So you can hear a lot what you can hear
what's going on a lot.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Yeah, I imagine you'll be utilizing that. You've been by
yourself in your room, so you have been utilizing what's.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Going on with the walls.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Well, I think that's why there's been an embargo on
cleaning it because I've had I've had my first service
last night of my room.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
No, they've just let this place sort of a bit like,
we won't go into that room.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
We'll take a quick break because we'll be back with
the final day of Austin City limits and what we
got up to, because I think we had two very
different experiences.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Yes, So there we were at Terry Black's.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
These guys Joe and man Iah came back to drop
off half a calogram of meat half a catabstia into
their room, just to add to the other food that
they had sitting in the fridge, which included a chicken
fried rice and two half eaten burritos. And then it
was I think I was on drink number This is
(09:09):
a concern for me. I was on drink number six
and it was two in the afternoon. And if you're
on drink six, for me, anyway turn the afternoon, there's
only one way that's going. And my partner told that
she had polished off to drinks in a bottle of
wine by that stage, so she was a bottle of
wine through.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
And a couple of drinks.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
And then we hit the Mexican restaurant, Yes on the Way,
which was only two doors down from Terry Black, so
we didn't get very fast. They had air conditioning, they
did it was that was beautiful. It's actually a very
cool bar. That was a really cool bar. And we
got stuck into the tequilas and there were lots of
different tequilas.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
There, margharita.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
When Johe and I arrived, they tried to tempt us
with an avocado margarita. They said, trust us, we'll give
you a bit that you may have sent the photo
of John and I drinking out of the same there
was a little sampler of the avocado thing.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Yeah, it was as great. That's I think what was
going on there.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
We so When we came back to join you guys
after dropping off our industrial quantities and meet back at
the hotel, we got on the Lime scoters. Joe going
on a traditional limeskooter and I got They got line
bikes over here, they call them Glide and it doesn't
have pedals, so you just sit on it and just
drive it like a Lime scooter with your thumb.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
You don't have to peddle at all, which is God
and the heat idea. I mean, you can't be.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Bucking around, but I mean we immediately almost got wiped out.
We had a horn honk at us when we when
we This is the dangerous part about It's not the
cars driving on the wrong side of the road. It's
you looking the wrong way when you're crossing the road
because you go to look left expecting the cars to
be coming from that direction. They're not, They're coming from
the other direction. We did that and we just about
got run over by Chevy Silverado on East Sixth Street
(10:48):
on our way down to see you guys. But that
was one of the most fun rides I've ever had.
You know, when you get on a line bike or
scooter in the overseas, it can be some of the
most fun times, and it was. We ended up in
a bit of a convoy of people making the way
to the festival, and Jesus, it was a good time.
We watched some wasted guy Stacker's bike when he tried
to park it eventually rejoined you guys. It was a
(11:11):
good spot where we were because it was only about
a ten minute walk to the and the way the
way the walker is set up, there's just something happening
the entire way. There's free this, free electrolytes. You want
an energy drink? Do you want to can of coke?
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (11:26):
All free on your way down there too. Cops on
two of the biggest horses I've ever seen in my life.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Interesting they have cops on Clydesdale's. Yeah, like kind of horsey.
Imagine he's in a law enforcement capacity, No, normally just
quite good for towing things, Yeah, a plow perhaps, Yeah, well, yeah,
I think that's potentially what it might have been.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Although were on draft horses is what it was. Yeah, right,
they should have been. I mean, I suppose they weren't
gonna have to chase someone else down. And it was also
on a horse. How quick did they need.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
To be true.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Okay, so we make it make our way to the festival.
The queue to get in Sunday must have been I
looked like the busiest day. I don't know why because
but the Q was ginormous and I immediately drafted to
the left with Neck and Sam and a couple of
others are part of the party, and I turned around
(12:18):
and then I found myself completely on my own. Now later,
Neck and Sam had popped into the bushes for a
bushwhee and they're not big on bushways here.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Who is You've got your You're standing there.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
There's a like I don't know how many people what
I was saying, thousands are thousands for its massive cues
And you're not meant to there's bush. I know there's
trees and stuff around, but you know you're meant to
wait until you get.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Inside anyway toilets day bushweed. And then I was on
my own. And then I eventually met up with everyone,
and I was intending on going to the Killers and
intending on going to tea pain, but instead I found
myself front row at the most hardcore DMB set I
think I've ever been to. What was his name, John Summon?
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Summit.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Holy ship balls, that was quite something.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Well, we couldn't get hold of you.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
I think at one point there was seventeen missed phone
calls that we've tried to send your way. We finally
did get hold of you, and we could barely hear you.
You're like, it was about half an hour from the
gig starting, and You're like on front row and I'm
not going to leave.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I know I can. I couldn't leave. I couldn't not leave.
We barged our way to the front. So Tom and
Haley and Nikita and Cres got it. We got in there,
and you couldn't move. You couldn't get out. I basically
trampled a poor grippled lady. You had to pick her
off the floor as she put together her walking stick.
(13:46):
I was like, ah, ship and then basically endured what
was about an hour into the DMB set. I was like,
this is quite good, but I'd really like to go now.
You can't get you can't get out stuck, so you
just got to let yourself go. I was I was
bouncing up and down.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Yeah, but it was.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
I knew that it wasn't take you long. As the
Lizard King. It wouldn't take you long to find your lizards.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Yeah, and you found your listen, stay four, but you
found your listen.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
I found them.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
And the flames were so close that it was I
felt like it was burning me.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
They were that close. And this guy, John Summit, apparently
former football player, college football player who decided to give
it up and then become a DJ. He spent most
of it semi naked. Yeah, good rig. He had a
good rig. He had a good rig. And a lot
of dancers loads, like, so many people just dancing around
(14:40):
the stage. Fifty people dancing around the stage.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
And he's just on the ones and twos. He's just
on the ones and two people like him with the
crowd and tire. Yeah, shitch here. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
I think Chris may have cried, she loves Johnson. Oh
my god, her hall pass her hall passes John Summit.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
And was she up the front with you, yes, Oh
but she was, she was. She was having the time
of her life.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I hadn't never heard of John Summit. I mean I
can't imagine anyone has. And even in fact, while we
were at the Killers later on, this girl turned around
and usked me and Joe if I knew who John
Summit was. No, and then she's like, where are you
all from? And then I can't remember what happened after that,
(15:24):
and then.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
She seems like she really just wanted to talk to you. Yeah,
that's what she said.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
She said, I just wanted to talk to you, and
I was like, I'm spoken for, please, So well, you
were off with the lizards.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
I was being propositioned with the king lizards. He is
being proposition of the colors. But also we went to
T Pain and T Pain Man.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
That was good.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
He was He was dressed in a pink and brown
cowboy outfit, tight as anything, with blue, pink, brown and
blue cowboy outfit, and he just sort of took off
one bit at a time. In the end, he got
down to his pink, brown and blue ca our boy
chap pants that were kind of shorts and his trainers
and a T shirt was a picture of himself on it,
(16:07):
which I thought was quite cold.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
But he had a good.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Vibe, and there's something I found him very relatable, particularly
at the point where he said, you.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Understand, my knees a real sol and I came here.
He's like, I don't know if he saw the clips
last week.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
But I'm older shit now, and I'm I'm a week
older than the clips you saw, and my knees are sa.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
I don't know if I'll be able to do what
I was doing last week. Yeah, and then he can't
go to give it.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
He keeps sitting down for best and he's just like,
I am so tired, and then he's just like god, damn.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Then the crowd starts cheering and he stands up again.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
He's like, damn, every time I try and catch my breath,
just give me back up on my feet again.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
He was good, but he was very likable. Yeah he was.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
And man, his dancers holy. And then the India was like,
He's like, I want to shout up for my dancers.
They made me look way harder than what I am.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
It looked like I did something. He was great. You
felt like you connected with him at one point.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
I definitely connected him over the knee stuff, man, because
I was My knee was sore too, But I know
what that feels like. He seemed about forty eight. I
think you had the same It would be he he
for me.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
I was at high school when tea pain was all
the rage, so he was I was sending videos back
to the message she loves tea painter.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
He did a cover of Journey Don't Stop Believing Tennessee Whiskey,
which was great Tennessee Whiskey. The crowd was super into it. No,
he was good man, it was real good. Pain was great.
It was a proper show that guy put on.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
We then spent the next sort of hour trying to
get hold of Lane. We cut it, We found out
who he was. He was, he was stuck with an
I was full the lizard cag out in front of that.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
He was in the B set. He was in the terrarium.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Yeah, there was no getting him out of there, and
there was no getting to you either. I was like,
I want to go find him. They're like, you're never
going to get to the front way.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
It was.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
It was intense even getting in there.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
So we went back and found our way to We
walked around. We had access to the the trades entrance,
like that's how we got out the night before. And
we found that you could walk around there and then
you could get in, but only at certain entrances, And
so the further you walked it was more and more risky.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Because it was like, we might not be able to
get in here. We're going to talk all the way
back around.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
We're talking like kilometers here, and we got right round
to the side of the stage the Killers were about
to perform on, and just tried our dumb luck and
good and we just ended up side of stage, not
side of but like beside the stage.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
It was too good to be true that because we
were literally actually we could have we could have touched Brandon.
We were like way to it from and there was
so much room up there, and we were like, wait,
this is this feels like some kind of real VIP zone.
And then sure enough we had to all of a
sudden scan our passes and then it went red, you're
(18:54):
not allowed there. And then so they ushered us into
the rejected rejected VIP people who managed to get through
one line but not into the next.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
But the rejected VIP area wasn't a bad place.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
That was a great spot, and they were very welcoming
people as well, and they had just been humbled, all
of them.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
People who had been injected from But to be reject
a VIP reject is higher than a general admission, and
it's all about status in the states.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
It totally is.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
I mean, we tried to get on a golf cart
so many times and we just couldn't quite do it,
and we were so close. One time, I waited in
a line for ages and then I was ready to
go and the woman said, I said, oh, can you
take us around the around the outside, around the track
and she's like, yeah, yeah, it's good. You just wait
in the line. It's just you know, I said no, no,
I've got some other friends. And she's like, okay, good,
(19:46):
and then so she goes. And then that the golf
cut arrived and she goes, you're ready to go, and
then I saw these guys. I'm like, hey, come over here.
So they came over. We were song and we were
about to get in the golf cut. Everything's about to
get We're going to be taken around to the front,
and then the woman goes on, you've got open vessels,
and we're all sitting there without drinks, holding to open vessels.
You can't take an open vessel on the golf cart.
(20:07):
And we're like, we just paid for these drinks like
fifty bucks each and I wasn't prepared to charge it.
And then we're like okay, we're walking again. So then
we never got on the bloody golf cart and we
nearly were there. No, I Meanwhile, people are going past
us and golf carts, partying, having a great time, which
couldn't manage.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
It, and we're back on the old Witwa Express around
the Trade entrance. Yeah, and then we got there, and
the Killers are great. The Killers are great, but I
feel like I've seen the Killers a few times and that.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Just I don't know. I'll tell you what it is.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
It's you've got Brandon Flowers, who's the front guy, who's
dressed in a blue suit, looking immaculate, full rints, teeth
as white as anything, hasn't had a drink in twenty
five years, right, you know, un hungover meanwhile and looking
amazing meanwhile short though the rest of the band they
(21:01):
look like tramps, like none of them. They've all got
gray here, none of them allowed to cut their here.
They've all got beards, they haven't shaven. I don't think
he allows them to shave. They're all in black. Some
of them look like Victorian era Dickenzie and Chimney sweeps.
And then he's up there, just looking fresh as anything.
Even the backing singers that he has the females. I mean,
(21:24):
they're not have to be good looking either.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
No.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
I also there's another part of it that so he's playing,
he's got his two pianos that he plays as little
synthesizer keyboard situations. But he's got a giant neon k
in front of him. Okay for killers, I presume, but
it's right in front of where his hands are on
the thing.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
And I was like, I don't think he's planned that.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
And from where we were standing, could you could see
the side of it, and he's definitely pushing on these
But I don't think he has planned that.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
I don't think he's plugged in. I reckon, You're right,
that was a prop. Yeah, it just gave him something
else to do because he's not got a guitar. He's
not wondering around. But I got to say the bit
that breaks down on that I got sold but I'm
not a soldier and things that I've done that comes
at the end of the set.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
It's pretty bloody good, like they work that.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
He works that, yeah, and really builds it up like
it was a really good show.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
It was. It was a really good show. The crowd
I kin of loved it.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Yeah, it was, but it just lacked that sort of
It kind of felt like a megachurch performance.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Yeah, just standing up in front of the church. And
whereas Tea Pain you felt like, I don't know, yeah,
Tea Pain is a man of the people.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
And then see the opposite of Brandon Flowers is joining
and Casa Blankets from the Strokes. Yeah, that is the
opposite about I think there's somewhere in the middle, you know,
like somewhere in the middle would be nice a guy
who's not a complete cunt but also has had a
hangover in the last twenty five years. Yeah, well I
think it's Tea Pain. Yeah, you're right with knee problems. Yeah,
(22:52):
knee paint. So then we're back. Then we're back. We
hitted back at that stage, backstage, Yes, up with the
Lizard King, Gelaane.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Fresh. I was expecting to see you with complete dead
lizard eye.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Oh, I know, because it was a good two and
a half hours of jumping up and down. No drinks,
because you couldn't get any drinks in the Obviously, one
lady did get carried out in front of us. Apparently
she'd odeed on some sort of fentanyl situation, which then
resulted in a lot of feninal anti fencinyl spray going around. Yeah,
(23:30):
but I just thought she got too hot, because it
was pretty hot. I thought she'd just past out, but
apparently not. So I was pretty fresh. I was pretty
relieved to see you guys.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
So yeah, I could see that you were excited, and
then we ended up hanging out there for a while.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Then we walked. Before that though, jury you met your
new favorite front person?
Speaker 4 (23:50):
Oh yes, yes, from Rainbow Kitten Surprise. So as we
were arriving, we saw this band, Rainbow Kitten Surprise. They
were an alternative country rock act. I guess you'd say,
but with the front person whose trends and they.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Them they are blonde. Here for female presenting female.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Great cancer, great cancers.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
But a decent package operating. I mean, I don't want to.
I'm just trying to paint a picture.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
We can jump on our Instagram because it is up
there and you look at you look delighted.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Well, I dressed.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
In it when when they were when they were performing,
I guess they were wearing a black How would you.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Describe I would describe it as like a harness you'd
put on to go bungee jumping. Yep, it's just all
straps and it covered very little, yeah, and there was
a lot going on to cover too, a little.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Bit of Twisted Sister kind of vibe to me from
person from Twisted Sister D whatever his name was.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
So and then spent a lot of time.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
They spent a lot of time lying around on their
back on the ground during the performance.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
But they were bloody goods.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
It was their finishing move was just falling backwards. It
was a lot of fun going on, slamming into the
ground and then all of a sudden being up like
cockroachcroaching on the stage.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
It was quite weird. It was weird, but it was bloody.
The band were really good.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
They were a good band. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
But then obviously we were backstage and you saw them
having a quiet moment.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Yeah, having a little moment.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
I thought, here's a photo op, you know, because we're
backstage where all the artists are, and we're right by
where they where their dressing room was. So I sort
of went and had a photo and they were having
a pretty serious conversation with some people.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
I don't know what it was about, but they did
not seem to be having a very good time.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
It was like, maybe it was feedback about the cockroaching.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Yeah, I don't know what it was. Well, post show,
you'd be kind of on a high, but they weren't
at all.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
They weren't happy, and they'd been there for a while,
and I had seen them reject a couple of people's
advances for a photo.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Yeah, but I thought I'd love a photo.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
So I went up there and I did a bit
of gurgling as well before I went up, just to
make sure that I got their name right, as I thought,
if I turn up and say I could have a
photo and they're like, you don't even know who I am,
at least I needed to know the name and a
little bit of history, and I knew that they transitioned
in twenty twenty two. Did some gurgling. Their name was
Ella right now, and I didn't want to dead name them.
(26:28):
That was important, and so I said to them, Hi,
I saw your performance. I thought you guys were amazing,
and I just was wondering if you would like that,
if I could have a photo place. If in any
way it's annoying, you can't be bothered, I totally understand,
and they very kindly did not reject me. Yeah, I
(26:49):
had a photo token and it's a cracking photo.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
It's quite something.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
It's on the Instagram. It's on the Hurtigy Breakfast and
on the a sec Instagram. You want to check it out.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Wish I could say lovely vibe and lovely person, but
I got the vibe of not very happy.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Yeah you look happy.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
I was very happy. They looked desperately unhappy. Yeah. Yeah,
well I've been having a photo taken with me. It's
not that it's not that exciting. It was annoying.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Okay, so we found it, we found each other. We
take a quick break because we later on we jumped.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
We bumped into Jack Reacher.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Right so after that concert finish and once again I
think we were the last to leave the festival.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Again, we walked through it.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
It was I could feel the energy, it was still there,
but man, there was nothing there anymore.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Pretty cool. I quite like walking through the empty festival.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
It's also when it's quite strange because in New Zealand,
if you got caught walking through a festival out there,
someone would yell at you. At some stage, yeah get
the fuck out of.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Here, or yeah, we had beers through cans of beer.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
We went to the Instagram fly trap area and did
our own instagrams again on the mirrors and all sorts.
And then the exit. Exit was interesting because we divided
up and we got on the back of a chariot.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Was it pure you on that chariot?
Speaker 4 (28:12):
Man?
Speaker 2 (28:12):
This me? You and Kate? Yeah, we went far and uber.
Your chariot costs you how much? Sixty dollars? Yeah, so
our thing was like thirty Yeah. No, but we had
one very comfort. We had way more fun. We did
a conditioning. We were whipping him like a horse to
you need to beat these guys. Yeah, well we're in
a race. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
When you were at the traffic lights, he did us.
He circled you like a shark. Because these these things,
it's basically an e bike with bench seat on the back,
and they absolutely go for it. They go around corners
faster than they go straight. Yeh, it's quite terrifying, but
it feels feel overly scared. When he did the lap
of you guys, we ended up on the wrong side
(28:53):
of the road. That was a little concerning, but it
was worth it.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
Yeah, you were doing the fingers to us. Our driver
was enjoying it two weeks. But I thought, if a
police person comes along here while you guys are lapping
us at the lights, you mean to do circumnavigation of
another car.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
That's not good.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
So we end up at a bar and the first
drink ordered was called a medical grade Martini, which is
basically a bottle of gin that was straight gin.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
It was the most horrific thing I've ever drunk in
my life.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
And it came in a Martini glass fall to the
broom like every drink does here. And then it came
with a milk milk bottle with the rest of the drunk.
Isn't it that they couldn't fit into the glass? I
was like, I'm not gonna be able to drink this,
and I couldn't. I had a white hot crack at it,
and I shouldn't have because that sent me to the moon.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
It was basically just diesel was so bad.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
Yeah, Well, Lane thought it was a good idea to
then chase that with a beer, but I think I luckily,
I said, I had a couple of SIPs of that
and then went straight into the beer. But then I
met the guy that looked like Marcus Lush.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
He was a PlayStation Charlie.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
And he.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
Said that I looked like and educated John Cena is
the way he described.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
It was good.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
It was good. You were basically you were having a
look alike because you look like Yeah, a guy and
he's on his name is Marcus lash and then he
said can I get a photo? And I went that
the phone. I said this, he is not missy enough
and I.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
For you. He goes, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
So Lane was was directing this guy to look more
like Marcus Lush and then he's like, oh, I'm a
big fanny or country blah blah blah. You quickly get
to politics or people like that because they're drunk. And
he's like, you know, I loved your Prime Minister just
ender An. I said, oh, yeah, I know her, and
he's like, oh do. I said, here's a phone number,
and I went into my phone and I had just
phone number on my phone and I said here it
(30:48):
is and he goes, that's not her number. I said,
that is it's actually a number because what you've got
the Prime mins number and it's not the Prime minister anymore.
But yeah, and he was like wow. He goes, could
I have it? I said, no, you can't have it.
But he was he wanted to move to New Zealand.
I'm like, he was really down on America, that guy.
And I was like, this is this thing. You talk
(31:09):
to these people for about five minutes. It's kind of interesting.
And then he started into health care. It's like, I
don't want to talk about their health system.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Yeah, talk about railways or something.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
About the health system.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
It's you've got good things in your country. There's bad
things in your country. There's good bad. We've got good
things in our country. There's bad things. There's good and
bad everywhere, and it's all generally fine in the end.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Yeah. I mean they've got stuff over here that we
don't have, and we have stuff that they don't have.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
And then then and walked.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Jack Reacher.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
Oh yeah, so what was he six seven?
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Now? Man, I agrees with it. I was disputing how
tall he was. I say, sex five six sex.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
He was not not only tall, very very broad, he
was imperfect.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
He was like he was in proportion.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
He was best. And immediately we gravitated towards him and
just caught him one of the greatest specimens on earth,
which quite od.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
He gravitated towards him, and so they were just like,
well look at him, how amazingly big you were.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
I was like, they were marveling it.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Yeah, and then he got thrown out. How man, his
mates got thrown out by a tiny bouncer and I
was like, that is so audacious of that little bit too,
bag No. I think his mate was a bit hammered.
And they said, he said, come on down to this
pool hall down one. There's a place down the like Toyhill.
Piled out and followed Jack Reacher and then I said
(32:37):
to Jack reach here do you play pool? And he goes,
oh yeah, and was like, okay, you would have played
me man dulcie, because I was getting I was like,
we'll fucking waste you.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
I don't think so He's.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Like fucking massive.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
And then across the pool table anyway, I said, I'll break,
and he went to the Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
I was here for this.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Yeah, we broke.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
He went to the bar and Lane goes, oh break,
and so Lamee breaks and then we put all of
the solids in the park. So when he came back,
it was just stripes and the black and he goes
he goes, yo, cheated.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
It was the hell of a break that you should
have said that he.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Tried, He tried to play and then he sunk the
white tryner at the.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
And he shook our hands, came.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Eyes were amazing.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
He told her I've got his number, got his number.
See how he's going this?
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Well, where is it? What was in the military?
Speaker 3 (33:49):
Yes, military personal protection and when in as military days
he was posted to Australaton Clayton.

Speaker 2 (34:09):
Cheer. No oh you did it. No, it's the hell
of a break.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
Every one of his own balls and none of yours
should have seen it.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
The way we were We were stuffing them in the corners,
so frantically people were looking, that's what's going on here?
Is that six trade killer over there? It's about to
turn around and sees put the balls in.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
The changerous person get angry.
Speaker 1 (34:34):

He definitely perceive.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
He definitely had on, haven't iver Playing basketball is no

petty on us. Yeah, that was such a cool bar.
That was the one I think you pay Is it
a photo on your story last night?
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Crackle bar?
Speaker 3 (35:02):
Oh yeah, five million bottles of whiskey and tequila life.
Speaker 4 (35:05):
Well, one stage, I looked up and I saw this
mic Tels it's or Machtels or whatever it's called.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
There's a really nice bourbon.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
I saw it on the top of the thing, and
I was like, oh, sad to Joe, that's a really
nice burbon out there. We'll get one of those. So
I said to the bar, could we have mic dos?
And so she went to the middle of the of
the bourbon bottles and I'm saying, there's got to be
a thousand bottles. Yeah, like there's so many bottles there.
And she got a mictails from sort of the middle
to bottom and I said, oh no, no, that one
up the top. And then she came back and she said,
(35:34):
there'll be two hundred.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
Dollars a sharp. She goes, is that what you're after?
Speaker 4 (35:37):
I said, no, I'll go with the one on the bottom.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Thinks very much.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
But the house spirits are known as.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Oh yeah, all Wells, so the Wells.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
Yeah, so here's a sign that said, like all Wells
five dollars, so like house spirit was five bucks, yeah,
which seemed quite good.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
Actually, that was that those dive bars were cool. That's
so cool.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
They were proper. They wouldn't pretend i've bars. They were
exactly the same as what they were in the nineteen seventies.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Yeah, dive bar, diver. I got on a fight in
the way out.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Yeah, there was in the car.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
In the car.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
It wasn't a fight, it was it was a situation.
It was bizarre.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
I just got about pricklely, you know.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
You know what happened was I've been I've been taking
the past so much over here. It was about time
someone got offended by it. That finally happened. That these
guys were having a cigarette, nas wanted one. Got to
talk into them about New Zealand blah blah blah blah.
And this one guy is Filipino, gentlemen. He asked me
what I thought his last name might be. I was like,
oh no, there's a lot of Spanish last names getting
(36:35):
about in the Philippines, something like Santas or Sanchiz or
something that you calling me Mexican. I was like, oh, no,
I know you Philippino. Then he just spins out. I
was like, what the fuck is going on?
Speaker 2 (36:46):
Here?
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Has mates dragged him across the car park and throw
him into a truck and go to leave. But for
what all you guys see is me having a conversation
that all of a sudden a guy getting dragged away
put into a truck, and I guess the assumption is
they're about to come back out with a gun, exact
my assumption.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
That's why we were like, let's get the fuck out
of here. Jack Reacher lift by that stage, so we
had no prediction, not that he would have predicted us.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
No, it was just he was just hose that and
just took massive afeas.
Speaker 4 (37:14):
We needed to get back as well by that stage
because we had meat to eat. Yeah, still meat.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
So retired back to Joe and Mini's new room, but
they'd been upgraded to after their other room flooded on
the twelfth floor.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
File it's likely to get flooded again. In the buffet
of sausages and brisket.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
I got laid out. It was a great finish to
the evening.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
It was it all came around in the end, and
there was a lot that happened yesterday, wasn't there. It's
a lot, a lot longs plans to that'll be roof.
Speaker 4 (37:46):
Surely we're hitting the rooftop pull bar. Yeah, And then
it was another beautiful day.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
Oh my god, it does like that's the first cloud
I've seen that one that whisp over there.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Oh yeah, look at that. It's another day, thirty two degrees.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
I might hit Walmart that I forgot the guy who
was the bartender on the rooftop. But we thought that,
we thought that we were hangover on that second day.
But that guy he couldn't. He was so hangover he
couldn't do anything.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
He kept turning the radio off and on in various
parts of the pool bar. So he speaks me on
in those ones than these ones, and it'll be off.
The bar was supposed to open it at eleven.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
By ten past twelve, he was still trying to work
out the garage door.
Speaker 4 (38:28):
I couldn't open the thing. He was man, he was
on the ghost slow. I can't imagine how he went
for the rest of the day.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Oh my god. So hopefully he's not on today.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
Or if he's on maybe he's recovered. Didn't go out
last night anyway, right, So we'll leave it there. We'll
let you know what occurs in the next twenty four hours,
and then we get.
Speaker 4 (38:49):
I think it was take it easy today. I think
we take it theres a lot that happened yesterday. Just
a few list things I think that would be quite good. Okay,
I think you've seen, but we'll let you go.
