  Speaker A: Sam, He would know how to be amazing. Good afternoon. Daft on the entrepreneurs. Or should I say, Hola. We are changed from the schedule program and we are going to go live at 7, but we're going live at 2 because our good friends from Mexico are on tour.
• 1:38
  Speaker B: Hello.
• 1:43
  Speaker A: How is your tour?
• 1:45
  Speaker B: The tour is going well, man. It's obviously been a bit hard because we're doing it DIY and we've not got a van, so we've been traveling on public transport carrying a hell of a lot of equipment.
• 1:55
  Speaker C: Yeah.
• 1:55
  Speaker B: But the gigs have been amazing. We've met some really cool people and we've had a jolly good time thus far. So, yeah, no complaints.
• 2:03
  Speaker C: Good time, but painful time.
• 2:05
  Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. But you know, you need to. You need to have the two balanced, don't you? So you got a good time and a bit of pain as well.
• 2:10
  Speaker A: The highs and the lows. I know. Well, yes, you do, but it's. It's good that you're getting the highs. That's good.
• 2:18
  Speaker B: Yeah, the highs have been good. Paris was a highlight. It's a really good gig in Paris and also in a. Hamburg was a great gig. Berlin was cool as well. Really cool. They've all been good, man.

  Speaker D: Yeah.
• 3:17
  Speaker C: Yeah, maybe.
• 3:19
  Speaker A: Are you going straight back to Mexico? Are you spending a bit of time in the uk?
• 3:23
  Speaker B: Omar's going back on the day after the last gig or a couple days after. Me and Alaya are going to stick around in the UK for a few weeks.
• 3:29
  Speaker D: Yeah.
• 3:30
  Speaker A: Amazing. And it's you. You're in the middle of what? Well, from my. From my perspective, it seems like everywhere in Europe, apart from Scotland's having a crazy heat wave.
• 3:42
  Speaker C: Yeah.
• 3:43
  Speaker B: It's been unbearably hot, man. Paris, especially Berlin was very, very hot as well. It's cooler in Mexico, which is Pretty crazy, to be honest. But, yeah, it's been. I'm carrying all the stuff as well. It's been challenging, man. I've never sweat as much in my life. But maybe I'll lose a little bit of weight so it won't be a bad thing.
• 3:58
  Speaker D: I was very worried because I didn't have, like a proper jacket and I was like, it's gonna be so cold in Europe. First time in Europe and man, it's.
• 4:09
  Speaker B: The man's got a vest on in the uk. Yeah, you see that very rarely, do you?
• 4:13
  Speaker A: Yeah.
• 4:13
  Speaker C: Or me. I'm getting cold, though.
• 4:15
  Speaker A: We might need to get. I'll bring you a jumper for Sunday because.
• 4:20
  Speaker C: That's right. It's not gonna be hot.
• 4:22
  Speaker B: You're gonna need one, man.
• 4:23
  Speaker D: Yeah, I'll buy one before we get to Glasgow.
• 4:26
  Speaker A: Yeah, we'll get you. We'll get you a willy jumper. It's a. Yeah, well, I mean, it's. I'm just looking at the weather just now and it seems like it's going to be drizzle and breezy 17 degreesy
• 4:41
  Speaker C: and we don't have anything waterproof.
• 4:43
  Speaker B: Be fine. It would be fine, but, yeah, I'm looking forward to a bit of Glasgow weather, to be honest. It's. It's been too, too much this. So, yeah, a nice bit of northern, Northern UK weather. Sounds great to me.
• 4:53
  Speaker A: Well, I'm glad you're not here today. It's actually. It's actually 22 here. It's actually beautiful today. What is the. What's the highest temperature you've been in so far?
• 5:04
  Speaker B: About 40 in Paris, 40 Celsius.
• 5:07
  Speaker C: And in. In our current room, it's probably four
• 5:09
  Speaker B: in our current room in London. I won't mention the hostel because you never want to stay there. It's. Yeah, it's a bit, shall we say. Yeah, just a touch.
• 5:18
  Speaker D: Not air also, so.
• 5:20
  Speaker B: And the window doesn't open that far and the fans just blowing hot air around the room, so it's.
• 5:25
  Speaker C: It's pretty rock and roll.
• 5:26
  Speaker B: You don't want to go in there, man. It's got a distinct order, I'll tell you. Four of us in there. Yeah. Doesn't smell great.
• 5:31
  Speaker A: The hottest place I've ever been was Sevilla. Seville in August. And there's an old phrase, only Diablo. I'm. I'm murdering the sentence, but it's something like the only Diablo visits Sevilla and Augusta. I don't know. Only the devil visits.
• 5:53
  Speaker B: Should we get a translation on that?
• 5:55
  Speaker D: Yeah.
• 5:56
  Speaker C: I wasn't even paying.
• 5:57
  Speaker B: Only the devil Visit Seville in August. How would you say that in Spanish?
• 6:03
  Speaker D: There you go.
• 6:05
  Speaker A: So that's what the taxi driver said that picked me up from Seville Airport. And I was like, what does that mean, anyway? Are you for business or pleasure? And I went a bit of both. And they started laughing and it was one in the morning, so, All right, I don't know what everyone's complaining about. And they were just, like, shaking their heads. And then I learned a harsh lesson. I think four or five days, it was so hot that I had to put a free. This is a wee tip for anyone. Put a towel in a freezer and wrap it around your head. That works. That will give you temporary salvation from the heat. Also, I had. We had a hose. So every time we made it in the balcony for a cigarette, we hosed ourselves down. Yes, I know. But the hang of Sevillas is that most places that I visited in Spain, normally the sun sets about 7 o', clock, but over there it was. The heat continued to about midnight because it was landlocked and it was at the bottom of a valley and the heat just bounces back up. And it was. We couldn't leave the house till midnight. And then, even then, you're sitting outside with a sprinkler system spraying water on you. And then in the morning it was quite pleasant. And that's when you have a couple of beers to celebrate and then you wake up with a hangover again.
• 7:32
  Speaker B: Well, they don't call it the frying pan of Europe for no reason.
• 7:34
  Speaker A: The frying pan of Hawaii. Ayahuasca. You're correct. No, I know. Ayahuasca. Is slightly different.
• 7:45
  Speaker B: That's a different trip. Different trip altogether.
• 7:48
  Speaker A: Although still can be quite as challenging.
• 7:50
  Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. And you might sweat a lot and whatnot. But I'll be cold. Yeah, I'm definitely gonna vomit a lot as well. And maybe your pants.
• 7:59
  Speaker A: Yes, well, I had similar experiences in Sevilla, but. Yeah, I'm not joking. The only time I've shot myself was in. In your fine city, Mexico City.
• 8:10
  Speaker B: Yeah, I remember. You got Montezuma's Revenge, didn't you?
• 8:12
  Speaker A: Montezuma's Revenge, as they call it. Yes. 14 days. 14 days I was out. Yes. Bad stomach, to put it mildly.
• 8:24
  Speaker B: Yeah.
• 8:25
  Speaker D: A lot of people from outside getting that a lot.
• 8:28
  Speaker B: Luckily, I've been there for five years and touch wood, I've never had it once. Not once.
• 8:33
  Speaker C: I have. I have ended up in hospital twice in my own country.
• 8:37
  Speaker D: She did.
• 8:41
  Speaker C: I do.
• 8:43
  Speaker A: We're all excited to bring in a bit of Mexico to The south side to Glasgow on Sunday for you call that Mexico? We've got. Merrill Folk is the lead singer, or one of the singers is Maima Mero, who's had to learn your lyrics, Helia, because obviously for people that don't know, Helia did the. The intro to Secret Information by the Gyro Babies with a Spanish. A Mexican poem of revolution.
• 9:11
  Speaker C: That's right. I could. I would like to say who wrote it, but I do not remember it right now. But I took some extra abstracts of that poem written for the revolution, so.
• 9:24
  Speaker A: So my mamero has had to memorize that and perform it live for about a year. So she's excited to meet you with her band, Merrill Folk.
• 9:32
  Speaker B: Just speaking of Mary Folk, I've been listening to them all week and they're really, really good, man. Really looking forward to playing with them.
• 9:37
  Speaker A: Yeah, they're a. They're a great band. They're smashing it. Just now, debut single Beckon and back music videos out just now and it seems to be going quite viral for them. So they're all. They're all lovely, so I'm really happy for them. And then we've got Dr. The brilliant Dr. Normal who has just informed me that she's going to be late. So we're going to need to move things around a little bit, but. And myself. And Go. And Gordy was coming to the show to see you guys. He was excited to see us. So since God is going to be there and I'm going to be there, me and Gordy are going to throw something together as well.
• 10:08
  Speaker D: Nice.
• 10:09
  Speaker B: I'm looking forward to that.
• 10:11
  Speaker A: And we've got DJ Stevie Elements to play some. Some tunes at the end of the night so that we can just. I mean, usually. Usually we're tired. I've got. I've got you somewhere to stay. And they said no parties.
• 10:22
  Speaker C: Yes. Yeah. Please do not. We're gonna turn the energy down or something.
• 10:28
  Speaker A: Yeah, well, I promised him that I would just. I would drink you under the table and then send you to your bed.
• 10:35
  Speaker B: Well, I might be more of a challenge than these two, but, yeah, we'll give it a go.
• 10:42
  Speaker A: You've got the sulfur, the sulfur blood in you, so I know that you can.
• 10:46
  Speaker B: Exactly.
• 10:46
  Speaker A: But you're. You're a bit. You're. You're weakened. You're weakened by weeks of touring.
• 10:51
  Speaker B: Yeah, I'm all right. I live for this, man. I live for it.
• 10:54
  Speaker D: Honestly.
• 10:54
  Speaker B: It's been. It's been good fun for me, to be honest. And we got Omar, his First actual pint last night in a pub. Yeah, his first real.
• 11:01
  Speaker A: What do you mean, your first paint?
• 11:02
  Speaker B: We don't do pints in Mexico.
• 11:04
  Speaker D: No, no, it's different.
• 11:06
  Speaker B: The beer. The barrel beer in Mexico is really bad because they don't clean the lines.
• 11:09
  Speaker C: When do you mean the first.
• 11:10
  Speaker B: Everybody drinks bottles. So it was his first actual pint in a pub?
• 11:13
  Speaker D: Yeah.
• 11:14
  Speaker A: All right. And how would you. How would you rate that?
• 11:16
  Speaker D: Oh, it was very good, man. I mean, I've been having a blast here, even though of the tiredness of the trip, carrying 25 kilos in my bag of instruments and clothes. Apart from that, it's been great. I love the beer here in Europe. I love the food in Europe. Of course. Different type of food and beer in every place. And yesterday my first pint was.
• 11:41
  Speaker B: Was that what part? It was Madras. We found a little local boozer.
• 11:45
  Speaker D: Yeah, very local.
• 11:46
  Speaker B: In Lambeth, where we were staying. And, yeah, it was a pint of madre. So, I mean, it's not, you know, Madrid's not that special. It's all right. But it was a good pine. It was foamy.
• 11:54
  Speaker D: And also yesterday we were traveling for 12 hours straight from 7am Till like, 7:30. We come. We got here, so it was necessary to have at least one point.
• 12:05
  Speaker B: And he met his first pub. Old man pub racist last night as well. I was like, welcome to England, bro.
• 12:13
  Speaker A: Welcome to England indeed. Yeah.
• 12:17
  Speaker B: Yeah. So we met a little public. It wasn't. It was just a drunk old man saying some things he shouldn't have said,
• 12:22
  Speaker D: you know, like, 90 years old. Yeah, it's all right.
• 12:25
  Speaker C: So it's all right to me. Race.
• 12:26
  Speaker B: No, it's not all right. Take no notice of him, you know,
• 12:29
  Speaker A: where's the cut off? What's the cut off for? Racism. How. How old can you be? What's the cut off? What age have you got? Are you allowed to be racist?
• 12:37
  Speaker B: Well, it's never acceptable.
• 12:39
  Speaker A: 70, 75.
• 12:41
  Speaker C: Yeah. Like, after 50 is fine.
• 12:43
  Speaker D: Yeah, after 50, like, if you get dementia, then it's all right.
• 12:47
  Speaker B: Yeah. The guy. I don't. I don't think the guy was a full shilling, to be honest. He was just saying things. Randomly talking to himself. Mumbling.
• 12:53
  Speaker C: Yeah, but random. You don't randomly say racist, like. Oh, I. I don't know what happened.
• 12:58
  Speaker B: Well, I just said, ignore him. He's just a drunk old man.
• 13:00
  Speaker D: Yeah.
• 13:01
  Speaker B: Everyone else in the pub was really nice, by the way.
• 13:03
  Speaker D: Yeah, very nice, definitely.
• 13:07
  Speaker A: Well, what's been the. The best food. Who said the best food of the Tour.
• 13:12
  Speaker B: Well, do you want to go first? The best food that you've had?
• 13:15
  Speaker D: Wow. Oh, that's a hard question, man. But whenever we went to Paris, I can tell you I had the best cheese I've ever had. And it wasn't even an expensive one, it was the best cheese I've ever had. And then kebabs, you know, Germany kebabs. I love kebabs. So it's a very hard question to answer honestly. And now this is. I reckon this is my first real day here in. In the UK, because it's 30. We just got time for a beer and to go to sleep. So I'll answer that question again when we go.
• 13:48
  Speaker B: Too bad he had some dirt chicken last night. First Jamaican food he's ever had. And he loves spicy food, being Mexican and all. And it was hot, right? It was hot spicy.
• 13:59
  Speaker D: Yeah, yeah, it was. It was proper spice food.
• 14:02
  Speaker A: When we.
• 14:03
  Speaker B: When we get to Glasgow, we need to get him a proper Glaswegian chipper, some deep fried sausage, all that.
• 14:09
  Speaker A: Yes. Well, don't make the mistake that most people do and go to Blue Lagoon, because Blue Lagoon is next to the. The train station, so a lot of people just go to the. The one that they see first. Blow the goodness. A bad chippy. I'll get you a good chip. There's actually a good chip shop just near the venue that you're playing, McNeil's. So I don't think you're gonna see the city center, I don't think. Well, I don't know, because I would imagine by the time he's come from Bristol on Saturday night, he's going to be quite tired.
• 14:43
  Speaker D: Yeah.
• 14:43
  Speaker B: But at the same time, it's their first and only time in Glasgow, probably. And I love Glasgow as a city, so we will be keen to do some stuff on Saturday for sure.
• 14:51
  Speaker D: And I hope it's not the only time in Glasgow.
• 14:53
  Speaker B: Well, no, but the first time, so.
• 14:55
  Speaker D: First time, yeah, definitely.
• 14:56
  Speaker A: Well. Well, Sammy's saying get them to Dunya. So Dunya is a really good kebab shop. That's a great kebab shop. That's in the East End of Glasgow. That's definitely recommended. But yes, we've got. In the south side, you've got lots of really good Indian food. It's. It's loads of great Indian food. And you don't. It's interesting you mentioned Jamaican food. Jamaican food's amazing in. In London. Oh, every time I'm in London, I always get some Jamaican food. There's not a Great deal of Jamaican food, but there's lots of. There's lots of good kebab shops, lots of good Indian food. The Vietnamese food. Non via is incredible for a. Before
• 15:36
  Speaker B: traditional as well, though. Something very, you know, traditional.
• 15:39
  Speaker A: We can do the full thing. We'll get you. We'll get you the haggis supper. So haggis and bar with chips, salt and vinegar and we'll get you. Obviously you need to try some Iron Brew 1908 or whatever it is.
• 15:54
  Speaker B: Book fast as well. Gotta get them on the bookie.
• 15:56
  Speaker C: Yeah, after the game.
• 15:59
  Speaker B: Not before. Not before.
• 16:02
  Speaker A: I would actually like to. It seems like Helia has the rule book there. What is the rules for? Because obviously it's a. It's a really hard balance. Obviously I've. I've told myself it's getting that balance right of having fun. But being professional. What is. Is. Do you have a game plan for that?
• 16:21
  Speaker C: No, I just never have fun. No, I just. I don't really drink that much anyway and stuff like that. But I guess like they just drink less if we have concerts next day or something like that.
• 16:34
  Speaker B: I'd like to say that was true.
• 16:35
  Speaker C: Well, obviously not. Not Paul. I guess like if the thing is like.
• 16:46
  Speaker A: Sorry, I think you're. But I think the battery's gone just there. What we maybe do is so Obsidian, who are playing Sunday at McNeil and the south side of Glasgow there, they'll be back in a little minute. What we'll maybe do is while we're just waiting on them coming back, we'll maybe play one of the songs. Why not? Why not? We'll play that. So the, as we said, Sunday this Sunday the 16th at McNeil's and there is. We've got Dr. Normal, we've got Metal folk, we've got Steve Elements and God, the Duncan, featured Mark McGuire, all happening at McNeil's. And also on Sunday is the Govern Hill Festival. So if you fancy a day out in Sunday, there's going to be four stages or free entry all around Government Hill. Come along, enjoy the show. And then at 6 o' clock we open the doors upstairs at McNeil's. It's a great pub, great pub down the stairs. But it's the upstairs bit that the live music will be. We have. I've actually went to a lot of great costs and difficulty to bring an entire PA sound system and our favorite sound engineer to McNeil's just to make sure it sounds top notch because you may have a little bit at the start of the show what they do is, I would say psychedelic shoegaze, post rock with sort of Arabic vocals. It's beautiful. And I thought that it was important to get the sound to reflect that. So if anyone's coming along, you're in for a treat. There is a. There is some tickets left on schedule. I would advise you to buy them in advance, though, if you're. If you're wanting to come along and we'll do that. But I'm going to play one of the tunes just now. I have. Having prepared, so I'll just play something off YouTube. And this is. What's it called? Yes, there was a. There's a really good music video. Well, you're back.
• 19:39
  Speaker B: Sorry about that. My very bad laptop.
• 19:43
  Speaker A: That's okay. It's good to have his back. So. Yeah. So you're saying that. So everybody else just behaves themselves apart from you, Paul?
• 19:53
  Speaker B: Yeah, well, I'd like to say that's true, but obviously Omar's first time in Europe, he's actually been the bad influence on me this time. I'd say tries to blame it all on me, but I'm sure it's. He's just as culpable as I am.
• 20:06
  Speaker D: Yeah, I know, I know.
• 20:08
  Speaker B: So he's been leading me astray, boys. It's all good. It's been fun.
• 20:12
  Speaker D: Yeah.
• 20:13
  Speaker A: Is there. Do you have any rules in place? Like, do you. Do you see.
• 20:17
  Speaker D: No.
• 20:18
  Speaker A: No tequila the night before a gig or anything like that?
• 20:22
  Speaker D: No.
• 20:22
  Speaker B: Well, the tequila is shy anyway, isn't it? All the good stuff's in Mexico, so we don't really drink that stuff here anyway, unless it's going to be a good one, because it's not very good, generally speaking. But, yeah, we do know. We just. We've been professional. It's been good. There's not one. Been one gig affected by anybody getting up the night before or anything like that. So it's been good. All because.
• 20:40
  Speaker A: Have you got. Have you. Are you. Are you staying true to your word and bringing the mescal?
• 20:46
  Speaker B: Well, we did bring mescal, but it's gone. We drank it in one day in Paris, the first day we got there.
• 20:52
  Speaker C: Well, we. I did not.
• 20:53
  Speaker B: Well, me and. Me and Omar did, and the French guys as well. And we also brought another bottle, which I was going to give them as a gift, and then they said they didn't drink, so I was like, right, okay, well, we'll take that one as well. And they were like, oh, well, I can give it to another friend.
• 21:09
  Speaker C: I was like, how can you take back A gift.
• 21:11
  Speaker B: You can't sit back again. It's IND good. But they don't drink.
• 21:13
  Speaker C: That's an English thing. Like I give you this and if you don't use it, they don't drink.
• 21:17
  Speaker B: So what's the point?
• 21:18
  Speaker C: They do.
• 21:18
  Speaker A: This is a tough one. I'd like to know in the comments, what do you think if you give someone a bottle of mescal and they say, I don't drink, but I'll give it to someone else. Do you. Is it okay to degift? I think it's okay to degift.
• 21:30
  Speaker B: I think so as well, because give it to someone who's actually going to use it, you know?
• 21:34
  Speaker A: Yeah.
• 21:34
  Speaker C: It's like yourself.
• 21:36
  Speaker B: Yeah.
• 21:36
  Speaker D: Yeah.
• 21:37
  Speaker B: Well, maybe we can find some Mezcal in. In London somewhere. I'm sure there probably has been a very big city and I. A bottle, if I can find a bottle.
• 21:44
  Speaker D: Sure.
• 21:44
  Speaker B: Probably come somewhere.
• 21:46
  Speaker A: Yeah. There is no. There's no me. There's no Mezcal here. I don't think in Glasgow. There's none that I've seen. Well, I have. I have ordered a few bottles since, because obviously I. I fell in love with Mezcal when I was in Mexico and I have ordered that a couple of times, but I've yet to find anything decent.
• 22:05
  Speaker B: You need to know what you're looking. You need to know what you're looking for. So, yeah, I'll have a look around while I'm here. I'm sure I can find something somewhere. One of the supermarkets must have it and it's all imported from one place, so it'll be the same as whatever you get in Mexico. It's going to be the same quality, same stuff. It has to be made in a certain area, in a certain place. Has to have a sticker of authentication, kind of like whiskey in Scotland, you know, so it'll be. Yeah, it'll be good.
• 22:26
  Speaker D: You know, for me, I drink Mezcal every day in Mexico and it's like, okay, I would like to have Mezcal as I would like to have spicy food. But I. I think at least now I prefer to have local drinks and. Locals.
• 22:39
  Speaker A: Yeah, well, of course, I think that's a good way to do it. What are you going to? What are you going. What English food are you going to? Is it roast. Is it going to be Rose's dinner?
• 22:50
  Speaker B: We're gonna. We're gonna get a roast dinner.
• 22:51
  Speaker C: He's gonna take them to Wethers Blooms. Really? I'm not joking. Yeah, I know, but I was. I Was very disappointed.
• 23:00
  Speaker B: Of course it's always shy. It's always crap.
• 23:02
  Speaker A: Yeah.
• 23:03
  Speaker B: I'm gonna take them to the world famous Chung's Chippy in Salford. It's a chippy that has the best Chinese gravy I've ever had in, in the world. And it's changed ownership about five times, but the gravy has stayed consistent.
• 23:15
  Speaker D: Man.
• 23:15
  Speaker B: It must be some kind of secret recipe or something, I don't know. But it's, it's mind blowing stuff. So I'm gonna take him there.
• 23:21
  Speaker D: Yeah.
• 23:23
  Speaker C: For people who don't know this, I, I lived in the UK for 15 years. That's why I'm not like, oh, yeah, cheap, because I have this, not because I don't like it.
• 23:32
  Speaker D: I'll have it. Only thing I didn't like. And don't, don't get offended anybody. The beans.
• 23:38
  Speaker C: And we offended.
• 23:39
  Speaker B: Yeah.
• 23:40
  Speaker D: It's just not my thing.
• 23:41
  Speaker A: We have what you're talking about. H. Baked beans.
• 23:44
  Speaker D: Yeah.
• 23:44
  Speaker B: Yeah. I give you some hines beans. And he's like, what? They're sweet. And I was like, yeah. And he literally took one bean off my plate. Tried it. And he was just seeing his face, he was horrified.
• 23:53
  Speaker D: Sorry, I don't want to.
• 23:55
  Speaker C: They're sweet.
• 23:56
  Speaker B: They have a lot of beans in Mexico, obviously, but they're not sweet. And his face, man. Wish I should have took a picture of his face.
• 24:02
  Speaker A: Yeah, the baked bean instant, the bake, the baked bean disappointment.
• 24:08
  Speaker B: Yeah. But to be fair, I'm not giving beans on toast with some cheese on it yet. I think that kind of takes away the sweetness a little bit. Bit more gourmet, you know.
• 24:18
  Speaker A: Well, is it, what, what, what is it? Is it mung beans in Mexico? Is Mexico. The mung beans, mo beans, beans.
• 24:27
  Speaker B: There's about 100 different types of beans, but fi holes are the famous ones that everybody has with the break and stuff. Yeah, but like certain type of bean though, isn't it?
• 24:38
  Speaker D: Sure, yeah. We have a lot of types of beans. You can. I mean, I, I reckon there's a hundred dishes, different dishes with beans, so. But yeah, none of them are sweet. Some of them are spicy. Some of them have a meat or not. So you can have a bean soup. So it's endless.
• 24:56
  Speaker B: Yeah. None of them, none of them come with tomato sauce either. Unfortunately.
• 25:01
  Speaker C: Unfortunately, it's not, it's not sweet.
• 25:04
  Speaker D: No.
• 25:05
  Speaker A: The food, I love the food that makes go. And I've not been able to find anywhere that can replicate it apart from there's one. There was one place I don't want to shout them out because I'm a bit. Slag them a bit. But there was one place that did feel a little bit more authentic but it wasn't very good. But I think that maybe that they had the, the, the wraps were worth authentic or something.
• 25:26
  Speaker B: Well, it needs to be made of maize properly to be done properly. Maize tortillas are the ones and it's hard to get the ingredients. In the UK there was a lot of stuff you can't get and if you can't get it, it's expensive. So that's the thing. We actually met a chap in Mexico City. He's from Glasgow but he lives in Edinburgh and he does a thing called Gringo Supper Club and he was over in Mexico learning authentic recipes from Mexican chefs. He spent like a month there going to different parts of Mexico and, and learning. So yeah, let's give him a shout out. Ringo Supper Club. Yeah, he does like private dinners at his house. Cooks a full meal and all that. He's a. Yeah, nice guy. Met him out in Mexico City during the World Cup.
• 26:01
  Speaker A: Okay, I'm good. How did we get him? How do we find them?
• 26:04
  Speaker B: If a friend of mine who's a chef found him on Instagram and he just brought him out one night and we got chatting and we had a really interesting story. So followed him on Instagram and yeah, he was traveling around everywhere learning from proper cooks, working for free in the kitchen, just seeing how they do things, how they make the salsas, all that stuff. Trying to make his cooking better. So shouts out, shout out to him.
• 26:23
  Speaker A: Yes, and there is, I'm hoping that maybe have a link up for some proper Mexican food. And Sunday where we are working on a thing behind the scenes. I don't know if you heard as well, we've got our favorite sound engineer. He's not the cheapest sound engineer but he's the best one. We've got him bringing his entire PA sound system and back line. So we will be loading up about 2 o' clock on Sunday just getting use a proper sound check and hopefully we can have you sound check by about three and then you can go and enjoy the Governor Festival for a few hours because there'll be a few different stages just walking distance away and then come back for, for the, for the show itself. And yeah, I'm surprised to hear that Europe is warmer than Mexico. What I found about Mexico, I was there, I think December to March, I think it was the. So I don't know, I don't know how the Seasons are. Exactly. But I found that obviously Mexico, first of all, was such a huge place. I had no idea. I had no idea until I left my laptop in one part of the country and had to fly back for it. How big is. So it's the. The temperatures are very variable. So what is the lowest temperature to the highest temperature that you can expect in Mexico?
• 27:42
  Speaker C: It depends. Like, if you're in the north, you can expect snow and minus whatever temperatures. If you're in the jungle, very hot and humid. If you're in the beach, very, very hot and humid, sometimes it's not that hot. It depends. It's just a huge country. It's almost the size of a continent. So it has probably almost every weather except.
• 28:03
  Speaker B: Yeah, well, that's everything. You've got deserts, you've got jungles, you've got mountains. There's places where there's snow all year round. Because it's so high. I mean, in Mexico City, because of the altitude, it kind of keeps it reasonable. Between 22 to 27 most of the time. But at the moment there, it's rainy season, and so it'll be like warm in the morning, warm in the afternoon. It'll piss it down. Torrential rain for like three or four hours and it stops. Epic thunderstorms and then it stops. But it's. It kind of regulates the temperature, so it's not too bad. It's been worse here.
• 28:32
  Speaker D: The only thing we don't have is like temperatures below maybe minus 10, you know, which I think here in Europe, you guys have a lot. It's the only thing we don't have, like a really, really extreme cold. But there's cold, there's snow in some parts.
• 28:48
  Speaker A: Yeah, we don't really get many. We don't get much minuses here either. But I've heard people saying that the minuses we get is different from the minuses of other countries because it's a different type of air. I'm not a scientist.
• 29:04
  Speaker B: It's moist there, it's humid air. In the uk, like, I always think in the uk, when you get cold there and wet, it's hard to get dry again. And it's so humid it makes it feel worse, you know. But if you get like dry colds, it's sort of bearable. But in the uk, when it's cold, it's just damp and cold in it and you can never really get warm. I think that's my experience. That's why I don't live there anymore. Part of the reason.
• 29:25
  Speaker A: Yeah.
• 29:26
  Speaker B: Well, here yeah. Oh, yeah. We're here, aren't we?
• 29:31
  Speaker A: He just is the weather spoons. Breakfast. You're back.
• 29:34
  Speaker B: You're back. I got him a Greg's yesterday as well. They had the first Greg's experience.
• 29:39
  Speaker A: What did you make of Greg's?
• 29:41
  Speaker B: What did you think of Greg's?
• 29:42
  Speaker D: Very great man. I mean, like, I got. I got a very nice. I don't know what it's called, wrapped or something like small sausage with bread. One and a half pounds. Very big man.
• 29:56
  Speaker A: Yeah. That's just like Instagram content. You should be given. You should be just.
• 30:01
  Speaker B: Yeah, we're too tired to do it, to be honest. The content thing. Oh, my. You're gonna have to go and get the washing.
• 30:06
  Speaker D: Oh, yeah, yeah, I might go. Yeah, do something. Yeah.
• 30:11
  Speaker B: But, yeah, you can do it. The laundry room. Sorry, we're just a bit bang. Logistics. We put some washing on and forgot about it in the hospital. So go out up doors. I'm. Because if you go into the room, take a left. Yeah, you can see it. Sorry. We don't want anybody nicking our underwear. Not that they would.
• 30:30
  Speaker D: Yeah, but, you know.
• 30:32
  Speaker A: No, it's also. It's. It's. It's good manners to not hog the washing machine.
• 30:38
  Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's very true. I don't think anyone's gonna knick our stuff, though.
• 30:42
  Speaker D: I'll be back. And anyways, hello to anyone that's watching and please go see us in Glasgow and any other gig you can.
• 30:54
  Speaker B: Laundry. Laundry day.
• 30:56
  Speaker A: It's laundry day. So the. The. Yeah, the altitude of Mexico City, I did notice it quite badly and obviously I thought it was my. I mean, I'm not exactly at my fattest. I'm not exactly fat as a fiddle, but just going up the stairs I found in Mexico City was quite. I was feeling quite breathless.
• 31:17
  Speaker B: It's got like 770 of the oxygen that you get here at sea level. So every time I go back, it takes me about a week to adjust. I play football over there twice a week. So the first couple of weeks when I'm playing football, man, you know, do
• 31:30
  Speaker A: you not want to play a game of football now that you're back and just skin everyone? Because you'll have that we extra well.
• 31:35
  Speaker C: Yeah.
• 31:35
  Speaker B: But also I've been on the sauce for two weeks and eating a lot of shite, so, you know, it might not quite work out that way.
• 31:42
  Speaker A: Yeah, the. The last. I think the last time I seen you, we both got. We nearly got arrested and taken to Mexico jail.
• 31:52
  Speaker B: Yes, I remember that very well, that's the only time that's ever happened to me. There actually was when you, when you were there, me and you almost got arrested thanks to those Mexican guys who stopped us getting arrested. I remember you said, I've got no money, just arrest me.
• 32:09
  Speaker A: Yes. That was maybe not the best idea because they were going to. They were going to put me in the sales. But. Yeah, what. What basically happened was as we were sitting, it was a scam. We got set up. So we went to an Irish bar and had a Guinness or a beer or whatever outside the Irish bar. And then they just pulled the shutters down on us. And then a postcard drives by and says, user drinking outside. The fine is, I don't know, 300 pounds each. Yeah.
• 32:43
  Speaker B: He wanted 6, 000 pesos or something he wanted. Which is. I was. Yeah, something like that. It was a lot.
• 32:47
  Speaker C: Yeah.
• 32:48
  Speaker B: Anyway.
• 32:48
  Speaker A: And I was like, I'm not paying that, Just arrest me.
• 32:51
  Speaker B: And he got the cuffs out and everything he was gonna do.
• 32:55
  Speaker A: Yeah. And I was like, just arrest me. I'm not paying it. I'm not paying it. Because I was like, it's a beautiful scam, though, because basically what he does. We've got two gringos outside, you know, in a. A table in a beer garden. Let's just pull the shutters down, phone the police guy that's on the corner to go by and say, you're drinking outside. I've never seen anything like it. What a great scam, though.
• 33:15
  Speaker B: I don't think he called him. I think they must have already been cahoots because literally the way I remember it, I mean, I was a bit drunk, but the shutter came down and literally the second hit the floor. Car came out of nowhere.
• 33:24
  Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, they'll get a cut because I think it was an Irish bar next to an English bar. It must just be like that street. Must be great to just pick up.
• 33:33
  Speaker B: Oh, it's that. It's that area. That entire area of Mexico City. The police must make a lot of money scamming people for sure.
• 33:38
  Speaker C: Yeah.
• 33:39
  Speaker A: But they didn't scam us. Well, they got something. Offers with. I think you. I think you gave them something.
• 33:44
  Speaker B: I gave them 2.200pesos, which is like 8 quid.
• 33:47
  Speaker A: 8.
• 33:48
  Speaker B: Well, you were saying, I don't know if you remember, you were saying, they look quite young. And you. I think you were saying to me, maybe that was their first shakedown because they looked a bit nervous.
• 33:54
  Speaker A: Do you know, Did. But it may also been my drunk accent. I was. I was Furious. So, yes, they were just. They didn't seem. I was like, what do you mean? The shots just came down and obviously nobody understood a word I said. In Mexico, I. I really struggled to communicate.
• 34:14
  Speaker B: Yeah, obviously that's why I have to start clear when I go home, especially when I spend time in the uk, Go back to Mexico, I'm gonna speak English to people. I need to remember to, you know, pronounce things.
• 34:24
  Speaker A: I think it was definitely a me problem because they understood Joe, who's from Fife, they seem to understand. I think she speaks slower and it's easier.
• 34:34
  Speaker B: Yeah, yeah.
• 34:35
  Speaker A: Well, I just. Well, I just have a mescal and a beer and just start talking like it's somebody I've known for 30 years.
• 34:41
  Speaker C: Like, if you were Scottish.
• 34:43
  Speaker A: As if I was Scottish, I acting all Scottish. But. Yeah, but. Yeah, but it's good that we. That I didn't just go arrest me. Because you said that if they had taken me away, they would have taken my phone off me and I. A few days.
• 34:58
  Speaker B: Yeah, they might have put you in. But the thing is, it cost them paperwork to do it. So I don't know if they would. They might just drove you around for a bit and then just got bored and dropped you off. Or they could have been proper dicks and sort you in, but I don't. I don't know if they would. I think they just wanted the.
• 35:10
  Speaker A: Yeah.
• 35:11
  Speaker B: And they didn't get it.
• 35:11
  Speaker A: So they got. They got something. I think they got. I think they got us. I think they got a score. Offers all together, which is about 20
• 35:17
  Speaker B: pound enough for a meal.
• 35:19
  Speaker A: Yeah. Which is. Which is. Which is fair enough. It's worth it for the story, I suppose.
• 35:23
  Speaker B: Yeah.
• 35:24
  Speaker A: So. So shout outs to the. The Mexican polls. The. So what. What. What else is the. The main cultural. The culture shocks Helia from. Obviously you've been. You've been here, you've been here, you lived here.
• 35:40
  Speaker C: Yes.
• 35:41
  Speaker A: What is it that you. You miss about the UK that you're glad to. To come back to?
• 35:45
  Speaker C: I think what I miss the most is that people are way less sexist, like a million times more. And they don't have the Catholic fucking bullshit as much as they do in Mexico. Because it's a country that's still very religious and I find it pretty, I would say abhorrent in a way to go back to that. I left because of that reason. And that's what I miss the most. Of course, I don't miss the weather or anything like that, or Wetherspoons meals or Anything Pot Noodles or Greg's or Pot Noodles. But you know, I miss like how free you can be as a woman and you can still go and party and get pissed or whatever. And of course it's dangerous of. And of course there are like sexiest dudes everywhere and women and whatever. But it's millions of times more safe and it's less violent for women there. Sorry. Here. Here. There. Yeah.
• 36:39
  Speaker A: Yes. Because you were in general, I remember being really, really surprised by you saying that the about like getting ubers on your own as a woman and stuff because so we basically after. I think was after we spoke to you and someone else over in Mexico that basically Joe never went home herself. If Joe wanted to go home, I went home with her kind of thing.
• 36:59
  Speaker C: Yes, exactly.
• 37:01
  Speaker A: Which might not happen in Europe. In Europe I think you can be
• 37:05
  Speaker C: more independent in that way. But the thing is, because it's so violent and there's so many feminicites in Mexico that everybody kind of have this behaviors already ingrained in their lifestyle. Because it's so dangerous that you want to be sure that a woman or whoever gets back home safe because anything can happen. Big city, it's violent. I mean you don't see it like in your day to day life every day ex and certainly you don't see that as a man. But every day in the life of a woman everywhere is a very different story. Especially in places that are still very sexist because dudes grab you or tell you or actually act up on it. And it's very common. It's not like oh, it happens to who knows who. It's like a daily thing, every day some and passive aggressive behaviors that I thought they were gone because I left for like 20 years. I'm like probably they will overcome. But no, it's less than when I left. But you know, it's still pretty old school and pretty fucking single minded in many things. That's what I don't like about there. I love the weather, I love the landscape and many things culturally speaking. But there's so many things that are pretty still.
• 38:12
  Speaker A: Yeah.
• 38:13
  Speaker C: For women and obviously LGBTQ plus community.
• 38:18
  Speaker A: And is there obviously because it's such a big country. I'm sure that some places are better than others. My favorite place obviously was, I think was Tapaslan.
• 38:29
  Speaker C: Oh yeah. It's a great place and I think.
• 38:32
  Speaker A: But obviously, I mean obviously I'm not because obviously I went to so many different bits. But that, that was the. It might be because that was the final month. So I'd Kind of got to grips with the language a little bit, and it was. It was just like a nice little town. And we didn't. We didn't. We had the same digs for, I think, a month. Because it was cheaper to get a place there in Airbnb for a month than it was for a week, probably.
• 38:57
  Speaker C: Yeah. Of course, Mexico City is super expensive in comparison to everything else in Mexico. Yeah. The post line is pretty cool hippie chill place with a lot of artists. Yeah, I love that place, too.
• 39:07
  Speaker A: Yeah. And it's still quite close to the city. I think it's only about an hour away from the city, but, yeah, absolutely loved it there. And I think I saw a ufo, which apparently is quite common.
• 39:16
  Speaker B: You probably did. They have an old pyramid there, the ruins of the pyramid. And there's, yeah, a lot of UFO sightings around there, like, quite a considerable amount. You probably did see it.
• 39:25
  Speaker A: I mean, it was a ufo because it was unidentified by me.
• 39:29
  Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, it might not have been from another planet, but. Yeah, you see a lot of weird in the sky around there, man. It's. It's known for it.
• 39:35
  Speaker A: And also there was a. There was a volcano. What was the volcano called? Yes, that one. That the volcano was erupting or something. But it was just so chill that. Because obviously if I. Before, as a gringo coming in there, the idea of like a volcano erupting would seems unsettling. But it's so relaxed that everyone. You know, I was just talking to my neighbors and they're like, aha. Oh, what's it called? Oh, Popo's bellies rumbling or something. They were saying they were just joking about it and I was like. And I felt quite relaxed about it all because they were quite relaxed about it.
• 40:13
  Speaker B: It happens all the time. He's always. He's always kicking off. They call him. If you want. If you want to call him by his Spanish name. You call him Dongoyo. Yeah, he's always kicking off, man. He's. It's normal. If you ever. If there was ever a big eruption, though, it might be a bit. But yeah. Yes.
• 40:29
  Speaker A: Apparently it's not had any lava eruptions for 96 years, but apparently goes every hundred years.
• 40:36
  Speaker B: Four years.
• 40:37
  Speaker A: Yeah, well, we're in the ballpark area.
• 40:40
  Speaker B: Yeah. But Mexico City is far enough to hopefully be all right. It's like 70 miles away, so, yeah, fingers crossed. We'll be okay.
• 40:47
  Speaker A: Yeah, it's. Yeah, but there's. There's. With a. There's just lots of stuff happening in Mexico City is like, there's. There was like the pollution or something. Like, was it pollution? But I remember the, the place that we lived in as well. It felt like there was always a thing happening, like some sort of. Was it pollution or a fire? I'm trying to remember.
• 41:10
  Speaker B: Could have been an earthquake or something. Was there any earthquakes when you were. There
• 41:16
  Speaker A: was a little earthquake. How common are earthquakes in Mexico?
• 41:23
  Speaker D: Well, how common you said.
• 41:27
  Speaker B: Yeah, the earthquakes.
• 41:28
  Speaker D: Okay. I would say at least once a year, both small ones. One very interesting thing that happens that in 1985 there was a very massive earthquake and it was horrible, killed thousands of people. And it happened on. You remember the date?
• 41:51
  Speaker B: September 16th. 19th.
• 41:53
  Speaker D: 19th, yeah. So on 2017 it was going to be. How do you say?
• 41:59
  Speaker B: Anniversary?
• 42:00
  Speaker D: Yeah. Somehow they could do a simulation. Simulation, yes.
• 42:05
  Speaker B: So just to get people out of the house, like a drill, basically.
• 42:08
  Speaker D: So they did the simulation, like let's say 11am and then at 1pm it, we got an earthquake. Like 4,000 people died on that one in 2017. And then 2019, same day, same day, we got another earthquake. Same day, same day. So people started to say, okay, this is something weird going on, you know. And now every 19th of September, doesn't matter what happens. People are like, I don't want to get into big buildings. You know, Fingers crossed. Yeah, touch wood, whatever, you know. So we're. Yeah, we're kind of afraid of that day specifically.
• 42:49
  Speaker A: I would go somewhere else in September 19th.
• 42:52
  Speaker B: I think it terrifies me, though, because even if it's a small earthquake, the alarm still goes off. So I could be in bed 1am and you lay the alarm and your opponent started saying, get out the house. And you're like, I'll put your pants on. Run out the house. And then you don't feel anything.
• 43:07
  Speaker A: We got, we got a warning. We got a warning for the volcano, I think, as well. Yeah, yeah, I, I remember that. That's. I. That is. This is scary. Well, I think you should. In the 19th of September, you should go somewhere else. Where is it? Where is that? Where is our nice holiday as a city dweller in Mexico City? Where would you say is a place you like to visit in Mexico?
• 43:27
  Speaker B: Like, where do you like to visit to get out the city?
• 43:32
  Speaker D: I would say there's a lot of places. It's a big country. But my, my few favorites. Well, I have luck. I would go to Chiapas, to San Cristo de las Casas, to some lagoons called Lagunas de Montevayo or Montevideo lagoons. I mean, that's my favorite part. But if you go to Oaxaca, too, any beach in Oaxaca, if you go to Baja California, to Ensenada, is amazingly good. Depends on what you like, of course. If you like forest, if you like the jungle, if you like the. The beach. So, I mean, I would. I would not be able to tell you how much many places there are, but if you're in Mexico City and you want something quick, like quick ride to the beach, I would say go to Acapulco. It's very cool. Just not go to the. Yeah. To the dangerous parts. But Acapulco for us is like four hours trip. And it's very nice. You can be there like two days, three days, or whatever. And it's very cool. Yeah, well, as I said, it depends on what you like. We have everything.
• 44:29
  Speaker A: Yeah, well, I mean, as for Oaxaca, we. We started our trip in Oaxaca and it was. It was incredible. And it was so. So colorful. The food was incredible. Obviously, that was our first taste of Mexico. The food was incredible. And it was the first time that I ever tried Mezcal. Brilliant. And I think that's. That is. That's Mezcal country. Am I reconnecting?
• 44:50
  Speaker D: Yeah, sorry. One interesting thing about mezcal, of course, in any store, you can find Mezcal quite expensive, but the best Mezcal is the one that people in Oaxaca do, and they sell it extremely cheap, and that's the best one.
• 45:04
  Speaker A: And they give you a free. And they give you a free one when you arrive at the pub.
• 45:07
  Speaker B: Yep, yep.
• 45:08
  Speaker D: Yeah.
• 45:08
  Speaker B: We went to a distillery a couple years ago where they make it, and it was really interesting because the agave, the cactus, has to be aged at least think it's 15 years. The wood that they used to burn the agave has got to be dried out for like three or four years. So you're talking like almost 20 years of process before they even start distilling it just to start making it, man. So it's like, that's why it's an offense in Mexico to drink it like. Like a shot. You've got to sip it, give it the respect. It's like good whiskey. Like a good whiskey. Same thing, you know.
• 45:34
  Speaker D: You know, it's similar to if you go to maybe Italy and break the pasta for us. If you take the mezcala and sip it, it's like, whoa.
• 45:42
  Speaker C: No.
• 45:43
  Speaker B: If you drink a fast speed.
• 45:44
  Speaker D: I'm sorry.
• 45:45
  Speaker B: Yeah.
• 45:45
  Speaker D: If you. If you short it. I'm sorry. If you short it is.
• 45:49
  Speaker A: Yeah, Yeah. I think I made that a Social faux pas. The first time we got it, and we were corrected very quickly. And also the. It's actually once I. I think I. You naturally know that it's not a thing that you drink in a Warner because it is enjoyable to sit and, you know, the. There was a thing, you know, you put it on your. Your hand, you smear it to smell it or something. We met a mescal hipster who was selling very expensive stuff in.
• 46:28
  Speaker D: Yeah.
• 46:28
  Speaker A: And tapaslan, and he was giving us the full tourist trap treatment.
• 46:34
  Speaker D: All right.
• 46:35
  Speaker B: You might have just been showing off.
• 46:37
  Speaker A: Yeah. So you put it on.
• 46:38
  Speaker D: Yeah. I mean, there's a lot of tricks. Like, I'm not a connoisseur of Mezcal, but I know Mezcal, you know, because. Of course. Well, there's a lot of tricks people have, especially people that make it, to know if it's good or not. If they shake it and it has bubbles, it means it's good. If there are no bubbles, it's not good. But there's a lot of tricks. We Even Mexicans. I don't know. So that might be a trick or that might be showing up.
• 47:02
  Speaker A: Yeah, I don't. I don't know. But from that point on, I always did it. I just went, yeah, that's the good stuff. That's the good stuff.
• 47:09
  Speaker B: That smells good to me.
• 47:10
  Speaker A: That was good. But. But obviously not. I mean, I'm far from a connoisseur as well. But it was quite obvious that not all Mezcal was equal because as soon as we further. We got into the city, then we started getting so cheap stuff. And, you know, I think because we started so with the best, and then it kind of diminishment. But just to explain to people that don't know, it's like, so Mezcal, it's a cousin of tequila. It tastes nothing like. Because I'm not a big fan of tequila, but it's made.
• 47:40
  Speaker B: It's made from the same thing as tequila. But tequila was made when the Spanish got there. They made it their own way, like copper. Copper distillery. Whereas Mezcal's made the traditional Aztec way in a hole in the floor. It's all done kind of naturally. And they call it the Labab Deos there, the drink of the gods. And the rumor comes that somebody once saw a lightning hitting an agave, and that's how they realized they could make meal. And it was. It's kind of treated like a holy thing. What's the saying for everything good, everything bad? There's Meal,
• 48:20
  Speaker D: Something like that.
• 48:21
  Speaker B: That means me is good for bad days and good days. It's good.
• 48:24
  Speaker D: Good for every day.
• 48:25
  Speaker A: Yes. And it's a. For people that don't know, it's kind of like a. A high I would say that you get from it that you wouldn't get normally from an alcohol. And it's not as bad a hangover as most spirits as.
• 48:37
  Speaker D: No, if it's a good meal. Mescal is one of the alcoholic beverages that suits the body best. So like if it's a good Mezcal, they. And only drink a st. Yes, you get really drunk but next day you shouldn't have any hangover, you know. So it's a. It's a beverage that the body takes a very. It's not bad for your body, you know, like sometimes if you drink beer next day you might feel ill or your stomach might feel a little bit bad. Not with St. But it's dangerous. You don't drink it just like that because after a couple drinks you might get really drunk.
• 49:18
  Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, yeah. Well, hopefully, hopefully you can locate some Mezcal in London and bring it to Glasgow. That'd be. That'd be much appreciated.
• 49:26
  Speaker B: We'll find some for you definitely.
• 49:28

  Speaker B: It's about. It's a type of mushroom that was invented. That was. Terrence McKenna was named after him. So Alaya and I take a mushroom ceremonies quite often in Mexico.
• 51:15
  Speaker A: I think I know the very one here.
• 51:19
  Speaker B: Yeah. McKenna. Yeah. So it's a type of mushroom. And Aliyah wrote the song after a very heavy trip on those mushrooms. So it's about that. It's about the mushroom trip, basically.
