Speaker 1 (00:00):
And here I'm enjoying your boots, you know, am I
is it a question you telling me you were enjoying
what I just did.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Something just came out of my mouth. I didn't even
know what I did.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
The University of Texas longhorns. Hook them.
Speaker 4 (00:12):
I mean interesting that they've got it, so it's a
university of tech. These are cowboy boots worth a Tixan
heel as opposed to the Cuban hill slight slight angle
on the Texan hill right, and and they've got the
monogram of the University of Texas on the front of them,
on the shin with a whole lot of other pilarbor
(00:34):
you know, sort of almost looks like palm trees. And
then eighteen eighty three established eighteen eighty three at the
top part of them. And then it says hook em,
hook them. And I wouldn't have thought that a university
should be advocating violence.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Hook them. I think you hooked the horns there. I
don't know. Do you hook deer. It's not like smash,
it's like hook them, bro hook them.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Well, it was pointed out to me yesterday that at
first glance, it looks like it says hooker on my boots.
It does, and they do look like and they do
make me look like. This is the problem about the
cowboy boots. This was on my radar as soon as
we got to Texas. I wanted to buy They said, legit,
cowboy boots. I've done that, but I don't want to
wear them with because dudes don't really wear shorts over here.
(01:15):
They wear jeans. But it's thirty three degrees out there.
I put the jeans on yesterday and I was like, no,
absolutely not. He'd take them off again. So yeah, I
don't know. I can I just wear a pair of
stubbies and cowboy boots doesn't seem kosher, does it.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
No, it's an interesting question. I saw a few of
them yesterday, people with shorts and shorts and boots.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
But Lewis he wore his shorts and boots is We
were going to the restaurant and he got a few
boots from.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
A few locals.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
I don't know if it was kind of sitting like
I think. I don't think Americans do sacism, No they don't,
So I think they were genuinely like, like great great boots.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Yeah. The Agenda Podcast, Texas Edition brought to you by
Export Ultra.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Anyway, we had our first at the festival yesterday Austin
City limits incredible, I mean here, yeah, quite something.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
We got a dangerously lost uber driver. Yes, he took
us to the wrongs.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
I think what he was trying to do was get
us as close to the door as he possibly could.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
But what he ended up doing was drive us around
to the back of the park.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Yeah, via what you would say is suburban Austin. That
was a tour of suburban Austin. We ended up going
a long way around, which was delightful.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
And shout out to him as a Rwandan gentleman. He
also had a gun, he Maniah just to look behind
the curtain. Mania hasn't had an interaction with a single
person here in Texas yet and not ask them if
they own.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
A gun to go to quiz in the first minute
going aunt a gun and it turns out one hundred
percent so far other people say they have yes.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Even so after skipping the head here, but after the
festival to get back, they've got those bike chariot guys.
You could jump on the back of their bike the
rodger back out of town and they barking at you
because they're trying to get you get a job. One
hundred and fifty bucks. You is they wanted to charge
you that's three hundred New Zealand dollars. Absolutely not, So
we walked. But anyway, this guy was just yelling at me,
(03:11):
come and.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Get on this thing. I'll do you this deal whatever,
blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
I was like, it was so annoying me, so much
of it.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Have you get a gun on you? I can't tell
you that, brother.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
So it's the guy writing a three wheel tricycle, yeah,
carrying a piece.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
I met a.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Mexican couple who told me that I looked mixing and
tried speaking Spanish to me.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
How did it speak Spanish? You're not mixing? And they
were like, how did you go at the border of it? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Actually all right, but I did notice that anyone that
spoke Spanish got pulled out of the queue.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Yeah, you got to come and not with an accent,
I think is the trick. No, But yeah, the festival
itself absolutely massive, like it's one giant I describe it
as one giant park with a like a field, and
then all of the stages are kind of like circled,
and so they're all in a circle and then with
(04:02):
a center part, but they're all around the outside. And
at one stage we were ushered into an area because
we managed to get some backstage passes. They say backstage,
but it's more side of stage.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Or front stage.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Yeah, And we're at the side of stage. And then
we were ushered down a race and there was a
full crowd of people. I mean there would have been
like twenty thousand people the elephant probably, And then we
were ushered down this race through the middle of the stage,
right up the front. I could have spat on them
on the lead singer.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
In fact, so close that at one point when they
were about to set the piros off, we had to
get ushered out of the out of the race because
they were like, we're about to sit off some fireworks.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
I'm amazing that you found that out, because I had
no idea. I just thought there was confusion amongst the
security as to what we were allowed to do and
what we weren't allowed to do. We're being ushered around
all over the place. It was so aggressively they're yelling
at you.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
And so then we got because we thought we were
going in there just stand there and watch the gig.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
But no, we were being paraded.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
I think the idea with these vip ones is that
if you're some sort of Instagram wounded, you can go
in and film yourself, get your photos, and then they
fuck you off and then get someone else. And you know,
I think that's what it's for. Because we stood still
and they were like, hey, you gotta keep going. You're
not allowed to stand still. G Lanes just run out
of the room.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
What's happened? Oh no, someone knocked at the door, going
to evacuate.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Speaking of evacuations, there was an evacuation earlier on after Breakfast,
just moments ago.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Oh yeah, yep.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
It was very audible, had evacuation. I heard every single
blow by blow.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Hey you update on the ten as well? Oh yeah, certainly,
and quite nicely.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
So immediately after the podcast, Lang got in the shower
yesterday and his relief most of the ten came off.
Oh yeah, but I've noticed that you've had to switch
beids because the sheets are Yes.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Luckily I had a burner bid and you're ready to go,
and so yeah, the sheets. The sheets are currently hopefull
being burnt somewhere. But yeah, update and that it's looking
it's settled in quite nicely. The half ten well after
we did.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
The podcast yesterday, we went up to the pool Bar
and spent some time up in the pool bar worth
everyone else.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
It ended up being a real if what's soap up there? Actually?
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Because ye it was the cheese, that water was murky.
By the end of it, it was you can drink
in the pool. It just seems like the natural place
to drink. So we're in the up there drinking with
everyone else in the pole. It was very popular up there.
No sun lounge is free, no real party atmosphere. It
was on the rooftop pool Bar and Gilane the and
it was what thirty one degrees I think something in
(06:38):
the early thirties. It was warm, and there was a
question of will we burn? Will we burn sitting here
for three hours drinking in the sun in the water.
And the answer to that question is yes, yes, absolutely
So whilst you did win the fake town on one
side of you, you are massively some burnt on your
(06:59):
other side that you didn't get the fake ten on.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Yeah, so does the fake tan also act as some
kind of like oh my yeah, just one arm back
of the least.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
It's purple, but rest not burn. That's why is that
part of your arm? Did you put on the other part?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Yeah, that just missed that, but oh no.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
You really did miss that.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
But yeah, but I was The biggest talking point around
the pool was the discovery of my back bush.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Yeah, well that's been it's been an ongoing, developing story
the whole time we've been here, because when you got
out of the pool, it was revealed that you had
a back bush.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Nobody'd ever seen this before.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Somehow, I feel like I knew everything about you, but
that's one thing I didn't know, and you hopped out.
The back bush was very popular, certainly on my social
media and people pointing out a lot of questions coming
through about where that came, about whether you cultivated it,
whether you wax the rest of your back and then
left that bush. Yeah, it's like a v It's like
a bush that's at the base of it's just above
(07:57):
your above your crack.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
The short line perfect and perfect bush.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Shape, particularly noticeable when wit.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Yes, it's like a map of Tasmania and at the
base of your back.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
And you were kind enough yesterday afternoon to shape it
into a love heart with my razor.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Oh, that's right, I forgot about that.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Yeah, there's been a lot of comments about that that
particular scene, and.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
I didn't expect there to be so much beautician work.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
On taking over the taking over the shave of razor. Yeah,
she thought that she could fashion them because I gave
up halt like this is, I can't work with this.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
She was trying to do a love heart, I think,
but it landed on basically a triangle.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Yeah, it looked like an arrow almost just pointing down
towards yours. So today there's going to be a new
development in the back bush. Yes, this is the thing
I'm looking forward to, actually, more than even seeing the
strokes today. A cl and that is turning your backbush
into a landing stroke. And then I think probably the
next stage is to probably take it off completely.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Could we sell it for charity?
Speaker 4 (09:07):
That's a good point, that's right. We were having shots before
we went, before we went, and we've got these cups
that are in the in the room. Also told he'd
been using the cup to shave your back bush. And
so at one stage I ran out of cups to
poor people shots of tequila, So I had to then
(09:27):
go and clean out your back bush cup with your
disgusting hair. And so someone got some shots with your
back bush on them.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
So there's a chance I've drunk g Lan's back and.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
You feeling a bit rough today because you've got a
bit of g Lane in you.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
That's disgusting.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Met an American gentleman in the pool yesterday. His name
was whatever it was, I can't remember, but he introduced
himself for this full name.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
It's like John Wilkes Booth or whatever as well.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Yeah, middle name first, middle last, IM and I Thomas
On Douglas Flemings Stuart Good to meet you at your service,
is from Houston, who is celebrating his fifth winning anniversary
of his lovely wife. They'd driven up from Houston to Austin, Texas.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
He had no idea who New Zealand was.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
But hit his mega head on mead Yeah and and
a gun.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Had like like everyone has their beliefs and whatever, but
wear it in a hat.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
It's an odd move, he was.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
He goes, they they have democrats in New Zealand. Yeah,
he goes, Oh they're like retards. I was like, okay,
oh yeah, we're going to wow, I asked him for
a gun that was out in the struck.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
So he knew when he knew New Zealand was by Australia.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Yes, so, but but he didn't know where Australia was
so he so I said, do you know who New
Zealand is? And he said, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's by
Australia there, so so that's Europe, right.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
I was like, no, he thought we were you No, we're not.
And then he goes, oh, well where is it?
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Then try explaining where New Zealand is to someone who
doesn't even know where Australia is. There's no other landmarks
like point of reference. I was like, do you know
where Antarctica? He's like no, and he had to get
a map up. His wife made him get a map
up so that he could see where New Zealand.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Was that and was it an enlightening experience from yeah,
it was. He had no idea why I had no idea,
it's all the way down there.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Well, is he ever looked at a map of the world.
I don't think any American has ever looked at a map.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
I suppose you don't need to really, do you? No,
But they don't know where anything is. No I think
that guy particularly was he he had a good enough heart,
but he was but he was as amazing. He could
really give himself to the pool bar to be honest. Yeah,
well yeah, yeah, he's not the smartest tool on the ship.
(11:49):
I'm looking forward to seeing him again.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Yeah, he was telling me a story about because you
know the healthcare syst movie, they don't have free healthcare.
So he is a builder and he cut the ten
in the back of his pinky and he went into
the hospital and he said it took them a day
and a half to figure out the what do you
call it the insurance before they would do any surgery
(12:12):
on his finger. And so he's lost them because it
took so long to fix it. Now he can't open it.
So he just sit there with this cut finger for
two days while he filled out paperwork and stuff.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Because it was on my writing hand, I couldn't do
the paperwork, right.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Yeah, it's a big thing over here, the old health insurance.
You know, some jobs they come a full like health
and it's actually a massive thing.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
It's expensive.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
So if you're a sole trader I imagine as a builder, Yeah,
you got to do your own. Oh, Amber Alert has

It's pretty full on, man, America is full on.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
They don't mark around, don't they're doing an They don't
mack around there.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
It's quite different Texans.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
Texans are very friendly though, say I'm I'm everybody that,
especially in the service man, the service industry over here.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Well, because they're looking for tips, aren't they, so so
they're very It's quite a lot at first because you're like, man,
this guy's like give me a bit of breathing space here, brother,
But then you realize they're just trying to Nothing's a
problem for the may if you want something that's off
the menu, they'll make you anything you want. Jerry was

(14:03):

Speaker 3 (14:10):
You, I got you, got you. Talk to me.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Brother, yep, I got You're from Australia.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
I got you, I got you, I got you, Ma man,
I got you.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Okay, we'll take a quick break and we'll be back
with our plans today, right back to back into the
festival again today Day two.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Oh, we didn't even really talk about who we saws.
You mentioned Cage the Elephant. There were so many bands
and stages that was quite overwhelming. And at one point
we just parked up in the pizza tent because it
was all just too much. Yeah, it was all way
too much. And then I, me and Joe went and
watched Luke Combs, who I haven't seen because he came
here at the start of the year and he played
(14:52):
back to back gigs at Eton Park.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
My missus loves country music, so she wanted to.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Go and but it was big it was the same
night as the Blacklash, so I couldn't go, and she
accosted Gilane at a work func shit about the rostering, isshes,
my boss and my messes. Just what you have to
y She's like, when do you need him? Is it
the Saturday?
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Sometimes your partner has to come in with some rostering issues. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
So that meant that I never got to see Luke Combs,
and then last night watched him with Joe. Joe was
running the theory that country music is just emo music
for farmers.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
It does feel like that.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
That was I watched luc Comes as well, my first
ever country music live performance that I've ever seen, like
proper Big one. So why do people listen to their music?
So as Laice as the idea like, because you can't
dance to it, you just stand there. Well, people that
(15:53):
listen to their music don't dance, so that works, okay.
So if you don't like dancing to music, is it
for people who don't like dancing?
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Yes, they don't feel all dancing.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Okay, cool, So it's for self conscious's quite self conscious.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
We'll think of like a South Island farmer. Yeah, he
doesn't want to dance.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
No, and I think if you know the lyrics, I think, yes,
like a lot of people singing along with all the
songs and I get that. So they know all the lyrics,
and they probably the lyrics probably mean something to them.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
It's very simple and easy to digest music. It's probably
close sort of pop than it is country. Really, it's
just that he sounds like a country dude. It was
awesome though, and it felt like it went on forever.
It was like two hours long ago.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Well, he told he told a story about the first EPISO.
So growing up, you know my parents. He was very relatable.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
He both first song, he just seemed like basically he
could have been in the crowd, you know. And he
was dressed like you know, cowboy boots, jeans, workshirt, workshirt,
proper workshirt, sweating like nobody here he goes, You'll see
me using these sweat rags.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
And so he loved a sweat rag.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
But he said that when he was growing up, his
parents didn't a lot of money, he said, but we
had enough food and we were fine. But we didn't
do a lot of traveling. Yes, So the first time
I left South Carolina was on a trip here to
Texas when I was twenty five, so he didn't leave
his state until he was twenty five. You can get
(17:17):
in the car, there's no you can get in the car,
and petrels damn cheap. It's ninety cents a leader. So
he's he has never gone in the car, never drove
anywhere out of South.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Carolina and all North Carolina can remember.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
And then he said that I came to Texas and
y'all deal things so differently here, and I was like,
what from South Carolina? Really, Texas is that much differently.
It is a totally different culture. It's like, man, you
should go to Europe. They speak different languages, you know,
like go to Tonga and it's just down there.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
It's not far and it's the same continent as you.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
But anyway, everyone seemed to go, yeah, fair enough, and
he goes a big sky Texas.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Anyway, call write this song.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
I've been with my bride now for five years.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
We got three kids, we just had our third, and
everyone's like, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
These boots and I'm gonna sweat going next to me
started crying at one point.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
I think she is just loving it so much.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
Yeah, people loved it around me, people loved it there
was a terrible sexual crime being committed right behind us
between the guy that it was not good. What was
going I was going to talk to someone about that.
It was Yeah, anyway, let's not bring the podcast down.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
I I FaceTime the missus Luke Holmes because and then
as ship because obviously I couldn't hear her.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
She could hear me, but I just put it, put
the phone up.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
She's dancing in the lounge back home, man, Joe dancing
in the thing at Luke comes.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
It's beautiful And man, how long before she hung up
on you? Oh like almost immediately to hang up on you?
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Yeah, she did a little cursory dance on the gaps
and then all right, get this guy out of here. Yeah,
so I don't I mean, I basically just saw Luke Colmes.
I didn't really see anyone else yesterday, not that I remember.
One of those stages. So in the pizza tent, you
could see out across the festival, and one of those
stages had honestly it looked like one hundred thousand people.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
Yeah, I think there would have been probably over one
hundred thousand people it was.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
And when the lights flashed up and you got to
see the full scope of like Saramon's army are massed
in front of you. Yeah, it was. It was so overwhelming.
I couldn't even look at it. It was like, that
is too scary, that too many people. That was for Josier,
I think that. Yeah, she was the last act.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
So Luke Colmbs was playing and Josy was playing at
the same time, and which was genius programming. So you've
got like you're filling the full you know, country thing
going on on one end and then you've got a
pop thing going on on the other, two massive acts.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Yeah, at the same bloody time, which is crazy.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
The beers there you so you can get a full
pack of beers that comes in a what like a.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Plastic box bag bucket full of ice clear plastic bag
from ice. The cans are like seven hundred mil beers.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
They are enormous, which is great because you don't have
to keep going back to line up. Flip side of
that is, by the end the dregs are quite warm. Yeah,
I suppose the way you keep it in the ice.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
We had a pepperoni pizza from that pizza place, which
was quite nice. I asked the guy, I said, how
many pizza are you can you make today? And he said, oh,
how many pizzas? Yes, He's like, wow, well over a thousand.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
I was like, geez, that's a lot of pizzas.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Another character I met yesterday was Willie Nelson, the Willing
Nelson look alike, because we got lost on the way
there and we were in this public garden and in
this little booth was a dude who looked like Willie
Nelson and I asked him the question, how do we
get into the festival?
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Which we could hear yeah, and he.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Goes festival and he was dangerously waste.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Had no idea it was going on. You could hear
the festival. What was his job though? Then he got
a map power. I think he was selling like crapes
or something like. He was selling it maybe ice cream.
He was a little kiosk.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
It looks like an ice cream keyls. It looked like
an info keyls. It looked like that's what it was.
There was no info in that chaos. I could say that. Well,
we got out a map.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
There was jurisealed, a jurisaled map, and he goes, well,
we're here, and he pointed at this map and he
goes and this is a leak.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
And I'm like, yep, it doesn't look a lake on
the map. And he goes.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
And the first of all, well I think it's over there.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
I was pointing at the map, and I'm like, well, yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
But which does not point we hear?
Speaker 3 (21:41):
We can hear? How do we fucking get in? And
then where's the thought? At the end?
Speaker 2 (21:45):
I asked him if he was selling acid?
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Is it just just one question? I've just got one
question if you don't mine. He goes, yes, are you
selling acid? And he goes sorry, and then and then
we walked off, and then he is a ready stick
hit out of the kiosk ah. I get you think
that I'm wasted, You think that i'd be un acid?
And we're like, yes, yes, you got it.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Yes. I took him about five minutes to work it out.
He was He was a gentle soul though, he was.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
What's he doing every day?
Speaker 3 (22:19):
What is he doingppy? He was an old school happy.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
I would have thought, like, if you work at this park,
you would notice one hundred thousand people showing up one day,
you know what I mean, Like you would know it's
going on.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Surely, Well, maybe we.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Got we did get dropped so far away, maybe we would,
you know, to him, it's like that. It's like Luke
Comb's going from North Carolina to Texas, like Bahama's like,
that's not his jurisdiction.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Yeah, there's a long way away for him. His jurisdiction
ends up the lake miles away. Jesus. It was a beautiful,
warm afternoon, though, wasn't it. Oh that dry text and
heat so dusty.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Our tour guide yesterday kind of he when we bought
our boots, he went in and bought a bandana.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
I was that for?
Speaker 1 (23:02):
And he said, oh, the dust tomorrow is going to
be outraged. You put people will put in bandana's around.
It was so dusty. It was so dusty, and I
think that's contributed to my dust levels this morning. Say
that that and not sleeping the night before.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Well the other thing that possibly you've got some kind
of hangover from the amount.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Of food truck food that you bought last night.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
Yeah, those I have never You know, you're running this
big brown slim down at the moment and I look,
there's eating and then there's compulsive buying. And you went
from one feed so you bought a we went to
the food truck area, which is right beside the hotel.
It has about six food trucks. Yeah, and that all
the food looked delicious actually, and we were recommended the Mexican.
(23:44):
Mexican food, by the way here is sensational. So we
get a burrito, Joe and I ordered breda. We wanted
to check him on. We couldn't get it, so we
ended up getting with Joe and the pork. I went
with the beef. Then I ordered some You ordered then
a pork. Well did you You didn't know? Then you
ordered that, and then you walked away quite a busy
food track. You walked away and you went.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
To the halal of Lucky Laky Mediterranean area. Got myself
a halal chicken.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
Yeah, Loan, you sort of thought I'm going to have
the burrito was an entree, and then from my main
I'm going to have chicken.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
I didn't know how big it was going to be,
and when it came out a lot that is your noise.
But because I had forgotten what I had ordered, and
I also think someone else picked my burrito up.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Well hold on for second. You went and ordered a
halal chicken.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
Then you came back to the Mexican place again. And
by this stage someone else may have picked up your order.
Who knows, maybe my hadn't got mine yet. So I
was number fifty three. I was still waiting. I could
see my little docket at the top. Okay, welcome through
the taco house as well. He had a microphone. Oh ye,
welcome through the tacos and.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Microphone and it just gave all on the microphone.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
He was quite a smooth operator. And then and then
so I was waiting for order number fifty three. Meanwhile,
Joe was already eating his pork breeder, which I think
was someone else's that he had stung.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
And then he went and ordered some chicken fried rice. Okay.
So then and I comes back, Well, I'm waiting for
for hour. I'd gone back up.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
To the to the food truck by the stage just
to see how my order was going.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Because we were waiting for a while.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
Gilane had already plastered his burrido halfway over his face
up and it was a mustache.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
It was all over the place.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
And then you then emerged back to the to the
food truck and then said started ordering again, and You're like,
I don't think I don't think my orders come through,
and the guy was like what and then.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
He's like, what did you order? And I go, I
can't remember that. I can't remember.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
I wanted a chicken, and then but there's no chicken,
and then you and then he said I have a
pork breader. You started getting your money out and I'm like,
hold on a second, you've already ordered. Then you've gone
over to the other palal one you've ordered there, and
you're going to order another one. And in the end
it all came through. So you ended up with three meals, huge,
(26:05):
enormous and meals.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Where did they all go? The worst part, well, they're
still my fridge. I didn't need any of them. So
I've got a fridge full of burritas. You've got your
own truck up a plastic case of your eyes being
bigger than your stuff.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
And then there was the confusion around the order and
so so they put an order through again and then
they gave it to me, and then we were sitting
there like okay, sweet all sorts of and then he
picks the microphone up again. He goes burrito from Manaya.
I'm sitting there, I've already got two fucking burritos. I'm like,
oh god, so I went and grabbed that I just left.
I can't deal with this.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
So yeah, it all came through.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
It was like we said, I set off a ticking
time bomb at this food truck car park, and it
started exploding all around us. Every different dude is yellowing
my name from about six different fucking food trucks.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
I didn't need any of it.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
We get back up to the room, Joe's already eating
as burrito, and then he goes, I'm going to get
some chicken fried rice. He leaves again, but I don't
know where he went, and comes back with the chicken
fried rice. But then the fridge didn't need it. So
we've got so much food in out fridge. We weren't
making great decisions last night. It might have been overserved
on the seven hundred milk cans.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
That hotel bar that we ended up in dress School Dress,
the dress School Dress call hotel. It was the one
that the guy owned and then he was playing a
poker game with his brother in law and he bit
his hotel on a hand, and then he lost his
entire hotel to his brother in law.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Ten million dollar hotel. Surely you pull out of that,
pull out of that?
Speaker 4 (27:40):
You what kind of brother in law holds you to
the bit? Yeah, come on mate, that's a bit. How
does he explain that? Does his mess as I've just
fleeced your brother?
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Yeah? But a cool bar, Yeah, and incredible.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
Matre D looked like she was running a speakeasy from
New Orleans or something. She was in this beautiful silk chiffon. Yeah,
flowing trist She glided around the floor, quite fabulous looking.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Wow, it was to picture it.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
It's like picture It was an old cattle rancher hotel,
but it's like a proper eighteen eighty like the dark,
dark wood, the smell when you go into those old
buildings of just years of cigarette ash and beers spelled
on the floor. It was such a cool hotel. Everybody
in there had cowboy hats on. It's like where the
(28:27):
proper cowboys go.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
Yeah, the security work looked like they were sort of
the special forces of cowboys. They're wearing black cowboy hats,
black shirts, black jeans, black cowboy boots.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
I didn't have to ask them if they had guns.
They definitely did. They definitely these guns. Still should ask them.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
Yeah, so we're going to bart No, we're not going
to go to barbecue.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Thanks. Today, we'll just go straight back up to the
bill and get some bend again. I think so.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
And if you you can find my soul anywhere in
the next twelve hours, that would be good.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
People who are looking forward to, I know, to the
developing story on ju Lane's back Bush. Yeah, there will be,
as we said, another edition and that people I love
it just lapping up that content. It's it's sort of
Julan's what a bit of a distraction, to be honest.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Yeah, your wife's turned off social media.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Yes, it was a backhanded way of saying, you're an
embarrassment of disgrace.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
Yeah, they're in a international disgrace. There.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
There was a comment on social media but the Backbush
video that it was a violation of the Geneva Convention.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Some people were saying it was a okay, okay.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
So planned today back up to the pool. It is
what like eleven o'clock at the.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Moment, yep, eleven thirds in the morning.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Joe and I are going to go try and final laundromat.
I've run out of undies, so we need to wash them.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Oh yeah, that's crucial.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
And then we'll head into the festival again with a
little bit more information seeing as we know now a
few more things. Yeah, and I think the big problem
is there's the Strokes of playing at like seven or something,
which I'd like to see eight fifteen, okay, But the
problem is also Sabrina Carpenter sixy sexy Sabrina Carpenter is
(30:10):
also playing, and the rumor is that Taylor Swift might
be joining her now.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Because she did last weekend.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
I think a lot of people are saying, why would
you want to go and see that? Well, quite like
Sabrina Carpenter, so it's actually quite difficult. But I love
the Strokes, so that's a difficult choice. I think I'll
end up going with the Strokes on.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
A catch Doci Ah and Doci Big Doci guy seems
like a live performances is pretty sick. Yeah, I think
that'll be the go yep.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
I think it's a KIVI band playing on one of
the days leisure leisure, Yeah, today is it today?
Speaker 3 (30:43):
What time are they playing? That's quite early. That is
quite a long time to be around.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
It's a long time to be in thirty five degrees
in the dust. They're all good problems to have here.
They are all right the book.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Are you seeing busy?
Speaker 3 (30:58):
The Gender Podcast asked. Texas edition brought to you by
Export Ultra
And here I'm enjoying your boots, you know, am I
is it a question you telling me you were enjoying
what I just did.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Something just came out of my mouth. I didn't even
know what I did.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
The University of Texas longhorns. Hook them.
Speaker 4 (00:12):
I mean interesting that they've got it, so it's a
university of tech. These are cowboy boots worth a Tixan
heel as opposed to the Cuban hill slight slight angle
on the Texan hill right, and and they've got the
monogram of the University of Texas on the front of them,
on the shin with a whole lot of other pilarbor
(00:34):
you know, sort of almost looks like palm trees. And
then eighteen eighty three established eighteen eighty three at the
top part of them. And then it says hook em,
hook them. And I wouldn't have thought that a university
should be advocating violence.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Hook them. I think you hooked the horns there. I
don't know. Do you hook deer. It's not like smash,
it's like hook them, bro hook them.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Well, it was pointed out to me yesterday that at
first glance, it looks like it says hooker on my boots.
It does, and they do look like and they do
make me look like. This is the problem about the
cowboy boots. This was on my radar as soon as
we got to Texas. I wanted to buy They said, legit,
cowboy boots. I've done that, but I don't want to
wear them with because dudes don't really wear shorts over here.
(01:15):
They wear jeans. But it's thirty three degrees out there.
I put the jeans on yesterday and I was like, no,
absolutely not. He'd take them off again. So yeah, I
don't know. I can I just wear a pair of
stubbies and cowboy boots doesn't seem kosher, does it.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
No, it's an interesting question. I saw a few of
them yesterday, people with shorts and shorts and boots.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
But Lewis he wore his shorts and boots is We
were going to the restaurant and he got a few
boots from.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
A few locals.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
I don't know if it was kind of sitting like
I think. I don't think Americans do sacism, No they don't,
So I think they were genuinely like, like great great boots.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Yeah. The Agenda Podcast, Texas Edition brought to you by
Export Ultra.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Anyway, we had our first at the festival yesterday Austin
City limits incredible, I mean here, yeah, quite something.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
We got a dangerously lost uber driver. Yes, he took
us to the wrongs.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
I think what he was trying to do was get
us as close to the door as he possibly could.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
But what he ended up doing was drive us around
to the back of the park.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Yeah, via what you would say is suburban Austin. That
was a tour of suburban Austin. We ended up going
a long way around, which was delightful.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
And shout out to him as a Rwandan gentleman. He
also had a gun, he Maniah just to look behind
the curtain. Mania hasn't had an interaction with a single
person here in Texas yet and not ask them if
they own.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
A gun to go to quiz in the first minute
going aunt a gun and it turns out one hundred
percent so far other people say they have yes.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Even so after skipping the head here, but after the
festival to get back, they've got those bike chariot guys.
You could jump on the back of their bike the
rodger back out of town and they barking at you
because they're trying to get you get a job. One
hundred and fifty bucks. You is they wanted to charge
you that's three hundred New Zealand dollars. Absolutely not, So
we walked. But anyway, this guy was just yelling at me,
(03:11):
come and.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Get on this thing. I'll do you this deal whatever,
blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
I was like, it was so annoying me, so much
of it.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Have you get a gun on you? I can't tell
you that, brother.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
So it's the guy writing a three wheel tricycle, yeah,
carrying a piece.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
I met a.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Mexican couple who told me that I looked mixing and
tried speaking Spanish to me.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
How did it speak Spanish? You're not mixing? And they
were like, how did you go at the border of it? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Actually all right, but I did notice that anyone that
spoke Spanish got pulled out of the queue.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Yeah, you got to come and not with an accent,
I think is the trick. No, But yeah, the festival
itself absolutely massive, like it's one giant I describe it
as one giant park with a like a field, and
then all of the stages are kind of like circled,
and so they're all in a circle and then with
(04:02):
a center part, but they're all around the outside. And
at one stage we were ushered into an area because
we managed to get some backstage passes. They say backstage,
but it's more side of stage.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Or front stage.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Yeah, And we're at the side of stage. And then
we were ushered down a race and there was a
full crowd of people. I mean there would have been
like twenty thousand people the elephant probably, And then we
were ushered down this race through the middle of the stage,
right up the front. I could have spat on them
on the lead singer.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
In fact, so close that at one point when they
were about to set the piros off, we had to
get ushered out of the out of the race because
they were like, we're about to sit off some fireworks.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
I'm amazing that you found that out, because I had
no idea. I just thought there was confusion amongst the
security as to what we were allowed to do and
what we weren't allowed to do. We're being ushered around
all over the place. It was so aggressively they're yelling
at you.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
And so then we got because we thought we were
going in there just stand there and watch the gig.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
But no, we were being paraded.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
I think the idea with these vip ones is that
if you're some sort of Instagram wounded, you can go
in and film yourself, get your photos, and then they
fuck you off and then get someone else. And you know,
I think that's what it's for. Because we stood still
and they were like, hey, you gotta keep going. You're
not allowed to stand still. G Lanes just run out
of the room.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
What's happened? Oh no, someone knocked at the door, going
to evacuate.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Speaking of evacuations, there was an evacuation earlier on after Breakfast,
just moments ago.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Oh yeah, yep.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
It was very audible, had evacuation. I heard every single
blow by blow.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Hey you update on the ten as well? Oh yeah, certainly,
and quite nicely.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
So immediately after the podcast, Lang got in the shower
yesterday and his relief most of the ten came off.
Oh yeah, but I've noticed that you've had to switch
beids because the sheets are Yes.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Luckily I had a burner bid and you're ready to go,
and so yeah, the sheets. The sheets are currently hopefull
being burnt somewhere. But yeah, update and that it's looking
it's settled in quite nicely. The half ten well after
we did.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
The podcast yesterday, we went up to the pool Bar
and spent some time up in the pool bar worth
everyone else.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
It ended up being a real if what's soap up there? Actually?
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Because ye it was the cheese, that water was murky.
By the end of it, it was you can drink
in the pool. It just seems like the natural place
to drink. So we're in the up there drinking with
everyone else in the pole. It was very popular up there.
No sun lounge is free, no real party atmosphere. It
was on the rooftop pool Bar and Gilane the and
it was what thirty one degrees I think something in
(06:38):
the early thirties. It was warm, and there was a
question of will we burn? Will we burn sitting here
for three hours drinking in the sun in the water.
And the answer to that question is yes, yes, absolutely
So whilst you did win the fake town on one
side of you, you are massively some burnt on your
(06:59):
other side that you didn't get the fake ten on.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Yeah, so does the fake tan also act as some
kind of like oh my yeah, just one arm back
of the least.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
It's purple, but rest not burn. That's why is that
part of your arm? Did you put on the other part?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Yeah, that just missed that, but oh no.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
You really did miss that.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
But yeah, but I was The biggest talking point around
the pool was the discovery of my back bush.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Yeah, well that's been it's been an ongoing, developing story
the whole time we've been here, because when you got
out of the pool, it was revealed that you had
a back bush.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Nobody'd ever seen this before.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Somehow, I feel like I knew everything about you, but
that's one thing I didn't know, and you hopped out.
The back bush was very popular, certainly on my social
media and people pointing out a lot of questions coming
through about where that came, about whether you cultivated it,
whether you wax the rest of your back and then
left that bush. Yeah, it's like a v It's like
a bush that's at the base of it's just above
(07:57):
your above your crack.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
The short line perfect and perfect bush.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Shape, particularly noticeable when wit.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Yes, it's like a map of Tasmania and at the
base of your back.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
And you were kind enough yesterday afternoon to shape it
into a love heart with my razor.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Oh, that's right, I forgot about that.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Yeah, there's been a lot of comments about that that
particular scene, and.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
I didn't expect there to be so much beautician work.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
On taking over the taking over the shave of razor. Yeah,
she thought that she could fashion them because I gave
up halt like this is, I can't work with this.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
She was trying to do a love heart, I think,
but it landed on basically a triangle.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Yeah, it looked like an arrow almost just pointing down
towards yours. So today there's going to be a new
development in the back bush. Yes, this is the thing
I'm looking forward to, actually, more than even seeing the
strokes today. A cl and that is turning your backbush
into a landing stroke. And then I think probably the
next stage is to probably take it off completely.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Could we sell it for charity?
Speaker 4 (09:07):
That's a good point, that's right. We were having shots before
we went, before we went, and we've got these cups
that are in the in the room. Also told he'd
been using the cup to shave your back bush. And
so at one stage I ran out of cups to
poor people shots of tequila, So I had to then
(09:27):
go and clean out your back bush cup with your
disgusting hair. And so someone got some shots with your
back bush on them.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
So there's a chance I've drunk g Lan's back and.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
You feeling a bit rough today because you've got a
bit of g Lane in you.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
That's disgusting.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Met an American gentleman in the pool yesterday. His name
was whatever it was, I can't remember, but he introduced
himself for this full name.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
It's like John Wilkes Booth or whatever as well.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Yeah, middle name first, middle last, IM and I Thomas
On Douglas Flemings Stuart Good to meet you at your service,
is from Houston, who is celebrating his fifth winning anniversary
of his lovely wife. They'd driven up from Houston to Austin, Texas.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
He had no idea who New Zealand was.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
But hit his mega head on mead Yeah and and
a gun.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Had like like everyone has their beliefs and whatever, but
wear it in a hat.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
It's an odd move, he was.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
He goes, they they have democrats in New Zealand. Yeah,
he goes, Oh they're like retards. I was like, okay,
oh yeah, we're going to wow, I asked him for
a gun that was out in the struck.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
So he knew when he knew New Zealand was by Australia.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Yes, so, but but he didn't know where Australia was
so he so I said, do you know who New
Zealand is? And he said, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's by
Australia there, so so that's Europe, right.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
I was like, no, he thought we were you No, we're not.
And then he goes, oh, well where is it?
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Then try explaining where New Zealand is to someone who
doesn't even know where Australia is. There's no other landmarks
like point of reference. I was like, do you know
where Antarctica? He's like no, and he had to get
a map up. His wife made him get a map
up so that he could see where New Zealand.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Was that and was it an enlightening experience from yeah,
it was. He had no idea why I had no idea,
it's all the way down there.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Well, is he ever looked at a map of the world.
I don't think any American has ever looked at a map.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
I suppose you don't need to really, do you? No,
But they don't know where anything is. No I think
that guy particularly was he he had a good enough heart,
but he was but he was as amazing. He could
really give himself to the pool bar to be honest. Yeah,
well yeah, yeah, he's not the smartest tool on the ship.
(11:49):
I'm looking forward to seeing him again.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Yeah, he was telling me a story about because you
know the healthcare syst movie, they don't have free healthcare.
So he is a builder and he cut the ten
in the back of his pinky and he went into
the hospital and he said it took them a day
and a half to figure out the what do you
call it the insurance before they would do any surgery
(12:12):
on his finger. And so he's lost them because it
took so long to fix it. Now he can't open it.
So he just sit there with this cut finger for
two days while he filled out paperwork and stuff.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Because it was on my writing hand, I couldn't do
the paperwork, right.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Yeah, it's a big thing over here, the old health insurance.
You know, some jobs they come a full like health
and it's actually a massive thing.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
It's expensive.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
So if you're a sole trader I imagine as a builder, Yeah,
you got to do your own. Oh, Amber Alert has

Speaker 3 (13:33):
It's quite different Texans.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
Texans are very friendly though, say I'm I'm everybody that,
especially in the service man, the service industry over here.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Well, because they're looking for tips, aren't they, so so
they're very It's quite a lot at first because you're like, man,
this guy's like give me a bit of breathing space here, brother,
But then you realize they're just trying to Nothing's a
problem for the may if you want something that's off
the menu, they'll make you anything you want. Jerry was
freestyling drink orders yesterday at the pool, just ordering whatever
(14:03):
he felt like, and the guy made it straight. He's
let you want some of this yet, and they are

Speaker 3 (14:10):
You, I got you, got you. Talk to me.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Brother, yep, I got You're from Australia.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
I got you, I got you, I got you, Ma man,
I got you.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Okay, we'll take a quick break and we'll be back
with our plans today, right back to back into the
festival again today Day two.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Oh, we didn't even really talk about who we saws.
You mentioned Cage the Elephant. There were so many bands
and stages that was quite overwhelming. And at one point
we just parked up in the pizza tent because it
was all just too much. Yeah, it was all way
too much. And then I, me and Joe went and
watched Luke Combs, who I haven't seen because he came
here at the start of the year and he played
(14:52):
back to back gigs at Eton Park.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
My missus loves country music, so she wanted to.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Go and but it was big it was the same
night as the Blacklash, so I couldn't go, and she
accosted Gilane at a work func shit about the rostering, isshes,
my boss and my messes. Just what you have to
y She's like, when do you need him? Is it
the Saturday?
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Sometimes your partner has to come in with some rostering issues. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
So that meant that I never got to see Luke Combs,
and then last night watched him with Joe. Joe was
running the theory that country music is just emo music
for farmers.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
It does feel like that.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
That was I watched luc Comes as well, my first
ever country music live performance that I've ever seen, like
proper Big one. So why do people listen to their music?
So as Laice as the idea like, because you can't
dance to it, you just stand there. Well, people that
(15:53):
listen to their music don't dance, so that works, okay.
So if you don't like dancing to music, is it
for people who don't like dancing?
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Yes, they don't feel all dancing.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Okay, cool, So it's for self conscious's quite self conscious.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
We'll think of like a South Island farmer. Yeah, he
doesn't want to dance.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
No, and I think if you know the lyrics, I think, yes,
like a lot of people singing along with all the
songs and I get that. So they know all the lyrics,
and they probably the lyrics probably mean something to them.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
It's very simple and easy to digest music. It's probably
close sort of pop than it is country. Really, it's
just that he sounds like a country dude. It was
awesome though, and it felt like it went on forever.
It was like two hours long ago.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Well, he told he told a story about the first EPISO.
So growing up, you know my parents. He was very relatable.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
He both first song, he just seemed like basically he
could have been in the crowd, you know. And he
was dressed like you know, cowboy boots, jeans, workshirt, workshirt,
proper workshirt, sweating like nobody here he goes, You'll see
me using these sweat rags.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
And so he loved a sweat rag.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
But he said that when he was growing up, his
parents didn't a lot of money, he said, but we
had enough food and we were fine. But we didn't
do a lot of traveling. Yes, So the first time
I left South Carolina was on a trip here to
Texas when I was twenty five, so he didn't leave
his state until he was twenty five. You can get
(17:17):
in the car, there's no you can get in the car,
and petrels damn cheap. It's ninety cents a leader. So
he's he has never gone in the car, never drove
anywhere out of South.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Carolina and all North Carolina can remember.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
And then he said that I came to Texas and
y'all deal things so differently here, and I was like,
what from South Carolina? Really, Texas is that much differently.
It is a totally different culture. It's like, man, you
should go to Europe. They speak different languages, you know,
like go to Tonga and it's just down there.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
It's not far and it's the same continent as you.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
But anyway, everyone seemed to go, yeah, fair enough, and
he goes a big sky Texas.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Anyway, call write this song.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
I've been with my bride now for five years.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
We got three kids, we just had our third, and
everyone's like, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
These boots and I'm gonna sweat going next to me
started crying at one point.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
I think she is just loving it so much.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
Yeah, people loved it around me, people loved it there
was a terrible sexual crime being committed right behind us
between the guy that it was not good. What was
going I was going to talk to someone about that.
It was Yeah, anyway, let's not bring the podcast down.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
I I FaceTime the missus Luke Holmes because and then
as ship because obviously I couldn't hear her.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
She could hear me, but I just put it, put
the phone up.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
She's dancing in the lounge back home, man, Joe dancing
in the thing at Luke comes.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
It's beautiful And man, how long before she hung up
on you? Oh like almost immediately to hang up on you?
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Yeah, she did a little cursory dance on the gaps
and then all right, get this guy out of here. Yeah,
so I don't I mean, I basically just saw Luke Colmes.
I didn't really see anyone else yesterday, not that I remember.
One of those stages. So in the pizza tent, you
could see out across the festival, and one of those
stages had honestly it looked like one hundred thousand people.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
Yeah, I think there would have been probably over one
hundred thousand people it was.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
And when the lights flashed up and you got to
see the full scope of like Saramon's army are massed
in front of you. Yeah, it was. It was so overwhelming.
I couldn't even look at it. It was like, that
is too scary, that too many people. That was for Josier,
I think that. Yeah, she was the last act.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
So Luke Colmbs was playing and Josy was playing at
the same time, and which was genius programming. So you've
got like you're filling the full you know, country thing
going on on one end and then you've got a
pop thing going on on the other, two massive acts.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Yeah, at the same bloody time, which is crazy.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
The beers there you so you can get a full
pack of beers that comes in a what like a.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Plastic box bag bucket full of ice clear plastic bag
from ice. The cans are like seven hundred mil beers.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
They are enormous, which is great because you don't have
to keep going back to line up. Flip side of
that is, by the end the dregs are quite warm. Yeah,
I suppose the way you keep it in the ice.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
We had a pepperoni pizza from that pizza place, which
was quite nice. I asked the guy, I said, how
many pizza are you can you make today? And he said, oh,
how many pizzas? Yes, He's like, wow, well over a thousand.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
I was like, geez, that's a lot of pizzas.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Another character I met yesterday was Willie Nelson, the Willing
Nelson look alike, because we got lost on the way
there and we were in this public garden and in
this little booth was a dude who looked like Willie
Nelson and I asked him the question, how do we
get into the festival?
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Which we could hear yeah, and he.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Goes festival and he was dangerously waste.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Had no idea it was going on. You could hear
the festival. What was his job though? Then he got
a map power. I think he was selling like crapes
or something like. He was selling it maybe ice cream.
He was a little kiosk.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
It looks like an ice cream keyls. It looked like
an info keyls. It looked like that's what it was.
There was no info in that chaos. I could say that. Well,
we got out a map.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
There was jurisealed, a jurisaled map, and he goes, well,
we're here, and he pointed at this map and he
goes and this is a leak.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
And I'm like, yep, it doesn't look a lake on
the map. And he goes.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
And the first of all, well I think it's over there.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
I was pointing at the map, and I'm like, well, yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
But which does not point we hear?
Speaker 3 (21:41):
We can hear? How do we fucking get in? And
then where's the thought? At the end?
Speaker 2 (21:45):
I asked him if he was selling acid?
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Is it just just one question? I've just got one
question if you don't mine. He goes, yes, are you
selling acid? And he goes sorry, and then and then
we walked off, and then he is a ready stick
hit out of the kiosk ah. I get you think
that I'm wasted, You think that i'd be un acid?
And we're like, yes, yes, you got it.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Yes. I took him about five minutes to work it out.
He was He was a gentle soul though, he was.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
What's he doing every day?
Speaker 3 (22:19):
What is he doingppy? He was an old school happy.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
I would have thought, like, if you work at this park,
you would notice one hundred thousand people showing up one day,
you know what I mean, Like you would know it's
going on.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Surely, Well, maybe we.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Got we did get dropped so far away, maybe we would,
you know, to him, it's like that. It's like Luke
Comb's going from North Carolina to Texas, like Bahama's like,
that's not his jurisdiction.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Yeah, there's a long way away for him. His jurisdiction
ends up the lake miles away. Jesus. It was a beautiful,
warm afternoon, though, wasn't it. Oh that dry text and
heat so dusty.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Our tour guide yesterday kind of he when we bought
our boots, he went in and bought a bandana.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
I was that for?
Speaker 1 (23:02):
And he said, oh, the dust tomorrow is going to
be outraged. You put people will put in bandana's around.
It was so dusty. It was so dusty, and I
think that's contributed to my dust levels this morning. Say
that that and not sleeping the night before.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Well the other thing that possibly you've got some kind
of hangover from the amount.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Of food truck food that you bought last night.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
Yeah, those I have never You know, you're running this
big brown slim down at the moment and I look,
there's eating and then there's compulsive buying. And you went
from one feed so you bought a we went to
the food truck area, which is right beside the hotel.
It has about six food trucks. Yeah, and that all
the food looked delicious actually, and we were recommended the Mexican.
(23:44):
Mexican food, by the way here is sensational. So we
get a burrito, Joe and I ordered breda. We wanted
to check him on. We couldn't get it, so we
ended up getting with Joe and the pork. I went
with the beef. Then I ordered some You ordered then
a pork. Well did you You didn't know? Then you
ordered that, and then you walked away quite a busy
food track. You walked away and you went.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
To the halal of Lucky Laky Mediterranean area. Got myself
a halal chicken.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
Yeah, Loan, you sort of thought I'm going to have
the burrito was an entree, and then from my main
I'm going to have chicken.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
I didn't know how big it was going to be,
and when it came out a lot that is your noise.
But because I had forgotten what I had ordered, and
I also think someone else picked my burrito up.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Well hold on for second. You went and ordered a
halal chicken.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
Then you came back to the Mexican place again. And
by this stage someone else may have picked up your order.
Who knows, maybe my hadn't got mine yet. So I
was number fifty three. I was still waiting. I could
see my little docket at the top. Okay, welcome through
the taco house as well. He had a microphone. Oh ye,
welcome through the tacos and.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Microphone and it just gave all on the microphone.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
He was quite a smooth operator. And then and then
so I was waiting for order number fifty three. Meanwhile,
Joe was already eating his pork breeder, which I think
was someone else's that he had stung.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
And then he went and ordered some chicken fried rice. Okay.
So then and I comes back, Well, I'm waiting for
for hour. I'd gone back up.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
To the to the food truck by the stage just
to see how my order was going.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Because we were waiting for a while.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
Gilane had already plastered his burrido halfway over his face
up and it was a mustache.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
It was all over the place.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
And then you then emerged back to the to the
food truck and then said started ordering again, and You're like,
I don't think I don't think my orders come through,
and the guy was like what and then.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
He's like, what did you order? And I go, I
can't remember that. I can't remember.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
I wanted a chicken, and then but there's no chicken,
and then you and then he said I have a
pork breader. You started getting your money out and I'm like,
hold on a second, you've already ordered. Then you've gone
over to the other palal one you've ordered there, and
you're going to order another one. And in the end
it all came through. So you ended up with three meals, huge,
(26:05):
enormous and meals.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Where did they all go? The worst part, well, they're
still my fridge. I didn't need any of them. So
I've got a fridge full of burritas. You've got your
own truck up a plastic case of your eyes being
bigger than your stuff.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
And then there was the confusion around the order and
so so they put an order through again and then
they gave it to me, and then we were sitting
there like okay, sweet all sorts of and then he
picks the microphone up again. He goes burrito from Manaya.
I'm sitting there, I've already got two fucking burritos. I'm like,
oh god, so I went and grabbed that I just left.
I can't deal with this.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
So yeah, it all came through.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
It was like we said, I set off a ticking
time bomb at this food truck car park, and it
started exploding all around us. Every different dude is yellowing
my name from about six different fucking food trucks.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
I didn't need any of it.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
We get back up to the room, Joe's already eating
as burrito, and then he goes, I'm going to get
some chicken fried rice. He leaves again, but I don't
know where he went, and comes back with the chicken
fried rice. But then the fridge didn't need it. So
we've got so much food in out fridge. We weren't
making great decisions last night. It might have been overserved
on the seven hundred milk cans.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
That hotel bar that we ended up in dress School Dress,
the dress School Dress call hotel. It was the one
that the guy owned and then he was playing a
poker game with his brother in law and he bit
his hotel on a hand, and then he lost his
entire hotel to his brother in law.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Ten million dollar hotel. Surely you pull out of that,
pull out of that?
Speaker 4 (27:40):
You what kind of brother in law holds you to
the bit? Yeah, come on mate, that's a bit. How
does he explain that? Does his mess as I've just
fleeced your brother?
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Yeah? But a cool bar, Yeah, and incredible.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
Matre D looked like she was running a speakeasy from
New Orleans or something. She was in this beautiful silk chiffon. Yeah,
flowing trist She glided around the floor, quite fabulous looking.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Wow, it was to picture it.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
It's like picture It was an old cattle rancher hotel,
but it's like a proper eighteen eighty like the dark,
dark wood, the smell when you go into those old
buildings of just years of cigarette ash and beers spelled
on the floor. It was such a cool hotel. Everybody
in there had cowboy hats on. It's like where the
(28:27):
proper cowboys go.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
Yeah, the security work looked like they were sort of
the special forces of cowboys. They're wearing black cowboy hats,
black shirts, black jeans, black cowboy boots.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
I didn't have to ask them if they had guns.
They definitely did. They definitely these guns. Still should ask them.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
Yeah, so we're going to bart No, we're not going
to go to barbecue.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Thanks. Today, we'll just go straight back up to the
bill and get some bend again. I think so.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
And if you you can find my soul anywhere in
the next twelve hours, that would be good.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
People who are looking forward to, I know, to the
developing story on ju Lane's back Bush. Yeah, there will be,
as we said, another edition and that people I love
it just lapping up that content. It's it's sort of
Julan's what a bit of a distraction, to be honest.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Yeah, your wife's turned off social media.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Yes, it was a backhanded way of saying, you're an
embarrassment of disgrace.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
Yeah, they're in a international disgrace. There.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
There was a comment on social media but the Backbush
video that it was a violation of the Geneva Convention.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Some people were saying it was a okay, okay.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
So planned today back up to the pool. It is
what like eleven o'clock at the.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Moment, yep, eleven thirds in the morning.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Joe and I are going to go try and final laundromat.
I've run out of undies, so we need to wash them.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Oh yeah, that's crucial.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
And then we'll head into the festival again with a
little bit more information seeing as we know now a
few more things. Yeah, and I think the big problem
is there's the Strokes of playing at like seven or something,
which I'd like to see eight fifteen, okay, But the
problem is also Sabrina Carpenter sixy sexy Sabrina Carpenter is
(30:10):
also playing, and the rumor is that Taylor Swift might
be joining her now.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Because she did last weekend.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
I think a lot of people are saying, why would
you want to go and see that? Well, quite like
Sabrina Carpenter, so it's actually quite difficult. But I love
the Strokes, so that's a difficult choice. I think I'll
end up going with the Strokes on.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
A catch Doci Ah and Doci Big Doci guy seems
like a live performances is pretty sick. Yeah, I think
that'll be the go yep.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
I think it's a KIVI band playing on one of
the days leisure leisure, Yeah, today is it today?
Speaker 3 (30:43):
What time are they playing? That's quite early. That is
quite a long time to be around.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
It's a long time to be in thirty five degrees
in the dust. They're all good problems to have here.
They are all right the book.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Are you seeing busy?
