Speaker 1: Well, these old ducks.
Speaker 2: I shouldn't cause old ducks, but I feel like it's
Speaker 2: been a hot second since I've been to a concert.
Speaker 2: We went to Duaaliba on the weekend. Look at the
Speaker 2: disgust on your face that I.
Speaker 1: Said these old ducks.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because I was like, speak for yourself. Also, I've
Speaker 3: been to a few concerts recently. One of them does
Speaker 3: make me feel old because it was Blink one eight two.
Speaker 2: So, and I also say old ducks because I have realized,
Speaker 2: probably in the last twelve months, I've been to a
Speaker 2: few concerts, and I know you and I have discussed it, Laura,
Speaker 2: but I've realized I am at the point where I
Speaker 2: don't want to be standing anymore, and that I think.
Speaker 1: Comes from age.
Speaker 2: I want the comfort of a seat, I want the
Speaker 2: option to be able to sit down.
Speaker 1: My back hurts, my.
Speaker 3: F I've definitely I've passed the threshold because when I
Speaker 3: was younger, like when I was in my twenties or
Speaker 3: I was eighteen nineteen, and I was like a real
Speaker 3: either festival or.
Speaker 1: Concert goer raver. I remember thinking this one.
Speaker 3: I remember being at a concert and thinking, who would
Speaker 3: ever buy a ticket as an option to sit in
Speaker 3: the stand. Like, if you had the ability to be
Speaker 3: in GA and you could be amongst it, in the
Speaker 3: vibrant moshpit, why would you ever want to voluntarily.
Speaker 1: Choose to in the stand?
Speaker 3: Now you get it, And Okay, something's happened in the
Speaker 3: last few years.
Speaker 1: And I don't know when it did. I don't know
Speaker 1: when it took over.
Speaker 2: I think it was a moment last concert of two
Speaker 2: when you jumped up and down and wet yourself.
Speaker 1: I reckon that was the moment.
Speaker 3: It was my perfect floor that let me down. I
Speaker 3: reckon it probably was, but no, so we did. Juliep
Speaker 3: it very differently, britt you had a wonderful.
Speaker 1: Very lush experience.
Speaker 3: I was in a suite, yes, and I was with
Speaker 3: my sister and we went GA, and like, I thought,
Speaker 3: I'm going to get down there, I'm going to dance,
Speaker 3: I'm going to non stop enjoy myself, and I reckon,
Speaker 3: I got about forty five minutes in and I was like, oh,
Speaker 3: my perfect floor feels heavy, monees hurt, and I'd love
Speaker 3: to sit down. And there's an eighteen year old smack
Speaker 3: into my back who's had too many like tequila shots.
Speaker 1: So like it's a different vibe. Now, it's a different experience.
Speaker 2: Well, I wanted to talk about something else. I didn't
Speaker 2: want to rub it into you that I was seated.
Speaker 2: I'll stop with the toilet available to me, and I
Speaker 2: didn't have to wet my pants.
Speaker 3: Unrelatable for everybody who had to get GA.
Speaker 1: I felt very lucky.
Speaker 2: Yes, but I want to talk about something else, something
Speaker 2: I realized in the moment that I'm over and I
Speaker 2: don't want to happen at concerts anymore. The hum or,
Speaker 2: not so humble encore, the idea of an encore, I'm
Speaker 2: done with it. Just sing your song.
Speaker 1: Just sing your songs.
Speaker 2: Don't pretend to sneak away so that we call you back.
Speaker 3: We don't want to like I don't want a chance,
Speaker 3: we want just do your songs.
Speaker 1: Believe I do.
Speaker 2: Just think it's one of those outdated things that people
Speaker 2: or artists maybe just think has to happen. Like you know,
Speaker 2: when you go to a wedding, there's things you need
Speaker 2: to tick a box off, Like when you're holding a wedding,
Speaker 2: you need to do speeches, you need to do the cake,
Speaker 2: you need to do the bowels.
Speaker 1: Whatever.
Speaker 2: I think artists not that I have and one or
Speaker 2: will ever be one. But I think that they used
Speaker 2: to think that that was how a concert needed to go.
Speaker 2: You had to go off and pretend. Then you had
Speaker 2: to be called back on and be like, okay, I'll
Speaker 2: pretend to sing.
Speaker 3: Obviously, because once upon a time it had a point,
Speaker 3: like once upon a time, people would leave and the
Speaker 3: concept would be finished, and people would scream for them
Speaker 3: to come back, and they'd scream and chant, chant, chant,
Speaker 3: and then eventually.
Speaker 1: The artists will be like, oh my god, still fair.
Speaker 1: You guys love me so much, I'm back.
Speaker 3: The problem is now is that the encore is written
Speaker 3: into the set list. Yes, and with Duel liefa my
Speaker 3: only right, like my owly because their concert was amazing
Speaker 3: and she's like the hottest thing it's ever graced the planet,
Speaker 3: but she can also killing literally the entire time. I
Speaker 3: was like, look at her, she's so hot. The best song,
Speaker 3: like my favorite song that she sings was in the encore,
Speaker 3: So I was like, you plan this, Yep, that.
Speaker 2: Was intentional because she knows people like you want to
Speaker 2: leave early, so I just the masses.
Speaker 1: But you also know that an oncre is coming.
Speaker 3: And the absolute telltale sign of this is that the
Speaker 3: lights don't go back on, so they.
Speaker 1: Say bye everyone bye, and then they.
Speaker 3: Walk off and it stays pitch black, so you can't
Speaker 3: leave in if you wanted to.
Speaker 2: And also all their musicians are still gearing up, the drummers,
Speaker 2: still twirling the drumsticks in his fingers, like you know
Speaker 2: they're about to crack on.
Speaker 1: But I would appreciate it so much more if they
Speaker 1: caught us. Betest bade just like.
Speaker 2: Sing it, pump it out, and then at the end
Speaker 2: you're like, thank you, I'm properly going now, thank you
Speaker 2: for your time. You know.
Speaker 3: I went to a food Fighters concert forever ago and
Speaker 3: Dave Grohl is notorious for not doing it eating.
Speaker 1: I mean, sorry what sorry? Continue please? That was a
Speaker 1: slipper of the tongue for not doing on.
Speaker 3: He's like, we don't do them. We have our set list.
Speaker 3: People know what they're getting. Just cheer and you know
Speaker 3: that the last song's coming, so cheer that it's the
Speaker 3: last song.
Speaker 2: How long do you think after he walked off that
Speaker 2: people realized you were serious?
Speaker 1: Like, how long do you think people?
Speaker 2: Wait?
Speaker 3: No, you know, so he literally was like at the concert,
Speaker 3: he said, he said, I don't do on course, you're
Speaker 3: not getting an on core. This is the last song
Speaker 3: and it was, and to be fair, like the lights
Speaker 3: came on. There was quite a few people that stayed
Speaker 3: and cheered, but then nothing happened and we.
Speaker 1: All left, so people were like, he'll be back.
Speaker 3: I was like, good on him, Good on him for
Speaker 3: sticking to his guns and staying true to like you
Speaker 3: don't believe systems at all.
Speaker 2: One concert that I went to, I can't remember who,
Speaker 2: but it was only in the last two years, and
Speaker 2: I remember being like, oh that, like they fooled me.
Speaker 2: They were like bye, thank you for coming, and I
Speaker 2: was like, it's over, let's go. I don't think they're
Speaker 2: coming back. And I left to beat everyone. And then
Speaker 2: as I was like leaving the concert walking to the train,
Speaker 2: I heard them come back on and.
Speaker 1: I was like, god, damn it. I was like, I
Speaker 1: missed it.
Speaker 3: That's why I made the feeling dirty about that, aren't
Speaker 3: you I really am.
Speaker 2: I haven't moved on anyway. Goodbye to the on core.
Speaker 2: If you're any huge artist listening right now,
