Theres no way people can say you guys have an ego. The reason i watch you guys is because you’re the real deal, such down to earth people and hilarious to watch. Always perks up my Sunday when you upload. Love what you do
Met Danielle Haim of the band Haim and she was quick to offer up a pic with her. It is really rad when they offer up first, I hadn't even talked about a pic just that I was a big fan. Don't let the haters get you down, just people thinking you owed them something, while we all know you guys are super appreciative and respectful of your fans
Rocked up uninvited to your camp spot one morning. Introduced myself and we had a cordial chat even though you were just up and sorting your life out for the day. Nae bother at all and made my day letting you guys know I enjoy your content. Absolutely sound all round.
I had the pleasure of meeting Rob and Raz at Download 2022. They are, genuinely, some of the nicest guys I've ever met and made time for everyone saying hello. The love they have for their community is like nothing else I've seen. Keep doing what you're doing guys, being nice doesn't mean having to be perfect.
liking the 'general chat' stuff here and nice one for addressing the reddit stuff. was strange to see those comments on that post, you guys literally cant please everyone, and thats ok
meeting people you admire I think creates a mutual understanding between you and the person your meeting , the person your meeting is human and has human traits , people shouldn’t be surprised if you react the way u do especially if it’s disrespectful . There’s an ethic that people NEED to follow , love ya guys I’m glad your open about certain things 💓
I saw Danny white (on his own) the Saturday of download, I say hello but understood that he was probably tired and walking back to camp. Such a polite guy. I hope to meet you guys at Leeds. Love the channel, I also understand there’s a time on the place.
Have met a few of you guy's across several festivals, I remember at Slam Dunk 2021 Rob almost came out of no where while I was waiting for food, complemented me on my Red Box TPD shirt, had a brief chat and took a photo. Couldn't have been a sweeter guy. I think people don't get that people have off days, have other stuff going on and might not always have the time for a long chat.
After all the talk about meeting celebs I feel bad for bothering Rob when I saw him at a Don Broco show last December. I had nothing to say other than "Love your videos!" lol
Interesting talk about meeting your musical heroes. Not sure I entirely agree that must have something meaningful to say, but im fortunate enough to have spoken to both members of my favourite band for 15 minutes each in a casual setting (wasn't like a paid meet and greet) and do agree that was a more authentic experience than a 15 second chat and a photo.
People saying shit about you being rude or whatnot, you're WORKING! If you've got the right time and right place to be able to give others your time then great, if not, people really should be giving their heads a wobble. I work with the public. They make shit up for clout, sympathy and freebies. Please don't sweat it.
I saw you in the Nohrlund bar at DL on the Friday and thanked you for getting us through lockdown with the vids. You were all so nice and had plenty of time for everyone, it must be hard work sometimes meeting that many people but you are all so welcoming. Keep up the stellar work.
Loved the chat about the interactions. Funny, mine is you lot. Seen you all at festivals countless times, but never really bothered going over. Even seen Raz in a Tesco's lmao, but mans in a Tesco's, like come on. The one time I did go up, it was because you lot were smashed in Leadmill and so was I- and I'll always remember this interaction. Went over, gave my praises, Rob was very appreciative and just showed me his phone screen and said "we've got big things coming." I didn't get it at the time, but looking back, the lock screen was the Coachella mountains. I always think about this interaction, because it was genuinely meaningful. Big ups.
Wide shot for me all day, just a bit easier viewing rather than constant switching. Maybe a wide with occasional close ups but that might be tricky to pull off, and it'll need more editing too
Wings of Pegusus has shown on his channel how DL basically mimed along with her record all through Glastonbury with very limited actual vocals. Don't let these people kill live music.
Ukulele guy was in the backstage area at Glastonbury which is why he says at the end of the Dua Lipa clip that he needs to scarper as I assume he's blagged his way in that area, which is now partially restricted to disabled people who use it as a passage between the Pyramid and Other Stage. There were some serious security issues this year with more fence jumpers than usual not to mention endless 'influencers' getting past security & they all added to the overcrowding this year. The crushes during Sugababes and Avril Lavigne could have easily ended in tragedy & next year Glastonbury can't be putting big acts on the smaller stages.
I completely understand your viewpoint. I was at Download all weekend and by the final day I was mentally done. If I had people coming up to me and touching me without my consent I'd be pretty annoyed too. We were camped around 4 tents away from you guys and I just didn't want to bother any of you guys as I know how many people come up to you at these events and your social batteries would have been fucked. You can't be full energy with every single person you meet, and that's alright.
I've never had any bad experiences bumping into celebrities but I do still think there is genuine connection to be made at a signing. I was able to meet Jenson Button when I was 9 years old back in 2010 and that wouldn't have been possible without queuing up for hours just for a signature. Although, the best interactions you can have with celebs is a chance casual conversation.
I'm the same with you guys as you described your meeting with celebs seen you multiple times but only once have I come over and said hi and that was in doghouse in 2018 we all had a dance had some banter because rob wanted me to throw my phone into the crowd but im the same i don't want to bother someone I look up to
Just wanted to say we met you guys at the doghouse on Friday at download and we had a great experience, you were great to us all and you all came across really nice and you all just wanted to have a good time. People out there who just love a moan about everything and that sucks cause it affects people but yeah we had a great time seeing you all, fuck em.
Not an expert. I personally prefer the wide shot and think its great, but from a viewer engagement aspect, having those camera cuts for each side of the sofa can focus those who may be listening and not fully watching, those camera cuts will catch their eye and make them pay a bit more attention to whatever you're saying. Much love x
Many bands before blink-182 from the late seventies through the eighties and early nineties were making what is considered pop-punk. In what way are they the 'founding fathers'?
I like the wide shot but having interspersed close up shots at different angles as well would be good. Although I know that would be awkward to set up. I guess you could just set up the source record on OBS and record the cameras all separately and then just choose which ones you want after using a multicam edit. No need for a clicker but still mixes things up with different angles. This is coming from someone who has no idea how your recording setup is but hope it's at least some helpful advice.
Glad you addressed those reddit comments (weird ass thread but like you said some views are valid!) I actually met you guys at Slamdunk last year (weirdly in the Escape the Fate tent). It did initially feel/like you were in a rush, so I was a lil taken aback at the slight abruptness but the more I thought about it (for like 30 seconds) you're there to do a job/enjoy yourself as much as Joe Bloggs. Maybe a level of entitlement gets to some fans heads, no idea, not here to judge.. That being said, always had you down as a filthy python coder... 🤮😉 Also and one of the main reasons I subbed, I hope the ranking of festivals comes back in the dead of winter (where you discuss the upcoming year festival lineups and which ones you are hyped for..) though appreciate that content might be 'dead'.
I know you guys missed trees this year but wanted to say I overheard people actively speaking about how they miss you guys and specifically bigging up mary for being such so real Re the download video … you’ll always be loved at trees
How is it even a real complaint when someone projects onto you their thoughts on how you percieve them? Rediculous. Wouldn't spend a second more thinking about it
If people think you have egos etc obviously don't actually watch the videos. Plus there'll always be weirdos out there and social media allows them to let off steam.
Does Jake stop breathing in his sleep then take a huge snory gasp? Sounds like my dad with sleep apnoea. Dad had his tonsils out to help combat it, weight loss helps too. May come to the stage he needs a Cpap machine.
I read those comments, some of them were clearly bullshit. People expect full access all the time because you put yourself out there, forgetting humans have human feelings on both sides. If you're really out there acting like hoighty toighty princes, more people would be saying something, not just one or two people.
That ukelele guy, he was in a pub beer garden doing tunes before transmit one time, like he just got up and sang tunes for everyone. I think the whole annoying thing is that he's forcing his songs onto people... No one wants to be forced to listen to someone like that, it's awkward, especially when it's not really good. Fair play to the guy though i respect the drive.
Yes prefer the wide shoot
Theres no way people can say you guys have an ego. The reason i watch you guys is because you’re the real deal, such down to earth people and hilarious to watch. Always perks up my Sunday when you upload. Love what you do
wide shot is much better than flicking every time someone speaks (and less work for you guys)
Met Danielle Haim of the band Haim and she was quick to offer up a pic with her. It is really rad when they offer up first, I hadn't even talked about a pic just that I was a big fan.

Appreciate the shout out for The Wasting Time Podcast, thanks fellas! 👊
yeah wide shot

really nice to hear a bit more from albert, his stories are bananas!

I like when I see the sun go down over the course of the show. That's the coolest. Please time the pod accordingly! 😅
You all seem like lovely people, significantly more down to earth than most with a following online
Keep doing what you are doing :)
After all the talk about meeting celebs I feel bad for bothering Rob when I saw him at a Don Broco show last December. I had nothing to say other than "Love your videos!" lol
The view is great. I enjoy watching it like this. Wide format. Things look alright, don't have to overcomplicate it ❤

Ben Looks like Patrick Swayze at the end of the movie Ghost
This was/is one of the best podcasts you guys have done, just chatting about random topics. Keep them coming.
Talking about hoovers… riveting boys riveting! 😂
I saw you in the Nohrlund bar at DL on the Friday and thanked you for getting us through lockdown with the vids. You were all so nice and had plenty of time for everyone, it must be hard work sometimes meeting that many people but you are all so welcoming. Keep up the stellar work.

Rob Kellas kicked my dog and Raz stole semi skimmed milk from my fridge!
I met Rob in Leeds at a bar once and he looked me in the eyes and smiled and then farted. True story
Rob once stole my Kinder Bueno while joyriding a go kart and listening to Status Quo. When will his ego ever be tamed?
Wide shot for me all day, just a bit easier viewing rather than constant switching. Maybe a wide with occasional close ups but that might be tricky to pull off, and it'll need more editing too
“Rob was coding python in the doghouse” cracked me up hahaha
Wings of Pegusus has shown on his channel how DL basically mimed along with her record all through Glastonbury with very limited actual vocals. Don't let these people kill live music.
Wide shot with individual cams too

I feel like just telling someone you appreciate them in whatever way you do is cool when it comes to musicians imo!

Some vinyl window tint?
need to up the camera quality too :D

I met Rob at download and he was sound. Even if he did rip into me for having a four loko
I know you guys missed trees this year but wanted to say I overheard people actively speaking about how they miss you guys and specifically bigging up mary for being such so real Re the download video … you’ll always be loved at trees
Give rob another chance with his ideas 💡
Green screen. View is pointless if we can’t see it. Make it look like you are sitting on choccys belly
wide shot, robs just trying to justify the price of the switcher lol
I prefer the flicking but im the only one so ignore me lmao
How is it even a real complaint when someone projects onto you their thoughts on how you percieve them? Rediculous. Wouldn't spend a second more thinking about it
If people think you have egos etc obviously don't actually watch the videos.

I wonder when you're gonna do this live?
Does Jake stop breathing in his sleep then take a huge snory gasp? Sounds like my dad with sleep apnoea. Dad had his tonsils out to help combat it, weight loss helps too. May come to the stage he needs a Cpap machine.
Star Wipe is king
Unfriend Jake, snoring problem solved ! 😅
sunglasses inside..
🤘🏻🤘🏻

Frot captain
The shoring is from sleep apnea from gaining weight. He could definitely die without a special machine.
get some waterproof socks
Wide shot all the way, the camera switching is garbage
Definitely not awesome when Rob is on the podcast and he doesn’t want to be there/has something else to do. It’s a bad look.
Rob here. Really enjoyed doing this pod. Engaging and fun. You could say this comment about the previous ep but not this one. ❤
Rob, you were great on this one. I’m definitely talking about the previous pod. It’s a bummer watching when you’re not engaged in the show.
