The Downbeat Podcast - Brendan Murphy (Counterparts/END)

My guest this week is internet funny man and your problematic fave Brendan Murphy. Brendan is the vocalist of the metalcore band Counterparts and grind/math/doom/whatever band END. We talked about my sexy criminal past, the price of a costco hotdog, twitter's rebranding and its devastating emotional effects, and I guess we talk about his bands. Brendan episodes are the best.

not to sound inhumane but for the better well-being of the internet i need a 7 week 17 hour special between you two.

[@Veeto]

the intro quality is so crisp is made my mcdonalds sprite taste like ass

[@Clorox39]

Brendan saying that Eulogy may be the last counterparts record got me crying more than the actual music hits me

[@lza5735]

That isn't a thing don't worry

[@samburnett7802]

Fully eulogy needs to be followed up

[@CharlieViking95]

Brendan is never boring to listen to dude is way too funny.

[@coltonbunja]

"No one appreciates showmanship anymore." J ee e. e ezus. Y'all comin' with the heat like ten minutes in.

[@zombiesateourchannel]

Had me laugh so hard.

[@coltonbunja]

"am i a HOT DOG FAN!?"

[@deadsoulxiii]

i straight up forgot the context for that, and when i realised, oh boy hahahaha

[@Veeto]

just crying laughing idc they are the best ever

[@christianmusician16]

“If you suck, just go ahead and do it” my new inspirational quote

[@FeralAFStudios]

I can picture Craig and Brendan as old men in retirement drinking together on a porch, I hope the downbeat is still going in 30years, I wanna see that

[@leorobinsonnn]

every single episode in the last few months has been incredible, downbeat world domination

[@reynlord666]

thank you

[@patriciagonzalezgonzalez326]

the dog medication bit has me on the floor. i would listen to years of these two talking to each other.

[@IronWolf6438]

My favorite Brenny callout is "tie your fuckin shoes"

[@maynetamer]

'oh step-bro get off my drumset...' 🤣

[@solitudeofgrief]

God I would love to see Counterparts do a medley

[@HK_8]

I literally saw this and said YAY out loud! You guys are my favorite “dynamic duo”!❤❤

[@CreatureFromTheBlackTattoo]

Absolutely Brilliant episode! 😂 Enjoy the tour man! 🤘🏻

[@afraidofthedarkco]

As expected, unreal episode. Brendan is the GOAT and you guys together are just *chefs kiss* more please.

[@satriaakbar851]

Brendan yappin’ in TWICE merch t-shirt is such a mood. Lovely episode with my favorite duo❤

[@Emily-tj3di]

Just wanted to hop in to say that rotigotine (the RLS med) has absolutely changed my life- not having symptoms is phenomenal. Also it doesn't cause Parkinsons long term- its used to treat Parkinsons (albeit usually in higher doses than in RLS)

[@reynlord666]

Oh thank you gonna speak to my doc!

[@Lord_Swoledemort]

I don't often watch the podcast (just don't have much time currently) but I will find time when Brendan is your guest.

[@ErikHansenDrums]

Hell yeah love to see Brendan on here again!

[@fanrosefabrose9457]

This time wearing pants and covid free

[@goodgollymissyollie]

this may be my favorite downbeat episode so far. criminally funny!

[@kesch13]

we need this weekly

[@joemathewson4198]

WOOO love Brendan. Can’t wait to listen to this.

[@jbasti227]

One of my favorite people in music. Really thought provoking lyrics and funny af outside of music

[@drumurrrgh]

THE best podcast on the planet. THE best unhinged duo. When I saw the notification for this it was an immediate "oh fuck yes"

[@johnbenitez8269]

They dynamic duo is back at it again with the funny funny jokes. The absolute best.

[@MathieuRouland]

Jesus christ I wasn't expecting the restless legs part to be my favorite one. I started working out and got varicose veins instantly ✨ growing old sucks at least there's good music to shake my legs to, thank you guys

[@sorryimnotkevin]

15 minutes in and this shit is wild, great work lads!

[@masonfox716]

I feel like I could sit in a room with you two and it could be completely silent and I would still be laughing. Best episode yet.

[@AsRiversRunDry]

That maaayyy have been one of the best podcast episodes yet. I was laughing my ass off the entire time. The Costco bit had me DEAD. Need more of y'all

[@scottbakes2451]

I look forward to Brendan episodes, wasn't disappointed 🤣

[@Masterlocster69]

I think it’s more about humility than anything, even more than negativity. Understanding what you have, how precious it is and releasing/coping with inevitable pain

[@colbyisham2677]

You and Brenny are too fun. Best content out there

[@ryaneliot8510]

Brenny that Tesla hitting someone comment is going REALLY DEEP into the warped tour lore to the point I don’t feel comfortable mentioning anything further in case I end up in someone’s trunk

[@deadsoulxiii]

truly a day to remember that one

[@bates.jackson]

thoroughly enjoyed craig, not much in the scene like this keep it up

[@xsickundeadzerox]

It’s not something that need to be said but I’m glad it was said you guys rock 🤘 love the pod

[@JTGDrumz]

Birthday was yesterday, a day late, but this May be the best gift 😂

[@Thewesternmama_]

Brenny is such a beautiful person. His unhinged mind is something I can relate too for sure.

[@Roguenjosh]

Just the best

[@kimthaelf]

you two are the best and funniest duo !!!!

[@whoisdin]

the face he makes replicating the crowd when they play "Sands of Sleep" made me spit out my coffee

[@therealcleany]

Man...I love Brendan. He's talking about Europe. I was at their first show on mainland Europe and the place was packed with people wanting to see them. I remember even contacting Jesse before that tour (only Prophets was released) and he said that they'd loved to come but they were still in college, so that would have been a problem. But anyway...Brendan is my main inspiration as a vocalist and this podcast episode is great ❤

[@joemathewson4198]

Do the medley for compass. Play rope. Drop the disconnect. End show with John Locke.

[@BackwardsMoving]

“Pull that up: Tumescence” 😂😂😂

[@Chris-gr2dh]

You and Brendan together are fucking hilarious, incredible episode

[@j.9_6]

Been craving some new Brendan content recently after peeping the other episodes with him a little late. sick!! also, binging on END this week. Slept hard on them.

[@doxgrvl]

This new camera… oh my god, never enjoyed an ad this much before

[@spruth6410]

To defend the Tesla a LITTLE bit, the emergency lever to exit is on every door, right by the electronic button.

[@serenaally]

When was this filmed.. I just saw Counterparts play in Houston, Texas at the beginning of the month. Yall touring musicians move so quick lol

[@tooernn]

Brendan and Craig for 1.20 hours. We are not worthy. Im 34 years old, been eating snickers and mars my whole life. Never realised or thought about its the same but without peanut.. this changed everything.

[@corey69000]

Love Counterparts. Just saw them live last week with Prada and FFAK and they were so on point (and drunk as fuck) ❤

[@pandaonsteroids5154]

Brendan makes me wanna cry when I just hear him describe the album 😭😭 Brendan is just the best.

[@Lord_Swoledemort]

The Disconnect is one of the best set outros ever written (across all genres).

[@sielnachtt]

do this more and again yo

[@gingermadman]

Just cause people are standing around doesn't mean they are bored. The more metal scene you get the less likely you'll to have guys in their teens who can go all set.

[@albertorigato2545]

The perfect episode doesn’t exi….

[@cruelcruelcruel]

two friends just yappin, doesnt get better than that 🥰

[@zombiesateourchannel]

I know you all hit like while the ad was still rolling.

[@leannhooper6567]

Tried the soap as well but didn't work. Magnesium foot soaks, eating vegies, lots of stretching at night and limiting caffeine helps me most of the time.

[@Msnaty101]

It was the TON song, Haunted, that taught me about tumescence 😂

[@diegogarcia1639]

Oh yeah

[@JedidiahBertram]

"Newsflash: every landlord is evil." YUUUUUP. 💯

[@Veeto]

Brendan murphy saying "im betting on FaZe" has permantly altered my brain

[@DilutedJuice]

Thank you. Ave a quid

[@reynlord666]

Thank you

[@russianworm4205]

Add a denver date to the tour pease!!?

[@misterbaker9728]

Self Immolation lol bro been watching this and since this came out pretty sure 2 people have lit themselves on fire 🔥 Great ideas coming out to save the world

[@reynlord666]

I did think that. Did I bring it back?

[@letemsinkaj932]

It's bs to find out that somewhere within a short drive this is happening. Meanwhile I'm at home with no friends

[@TheJohn9793]

I need more morbid friends, because I laughed too hard with you guys, and when I say shit like this everyone’s concerned… 😒

brendan said some offhand shit during their set in september and my ex was like shook to his core over it while i was next to him almost rolling on the floor laughing. brendan is my type of dude and id go as far as to say he is one of the most hilarious dudes in the scene. unhinged at 1000.

[@SatanAteMyCats]

I could kiss him on the mouth

[@christianmusician16]
