I love those episodes where you talk with your friends like Emma or Brendan. They're much funnier and more natural. Doesn't matter how long they are.

[@reynlord666]

Well have I got news for you about every single episode until 2024 haha

[@northernxdarkness]

@@reynlord666 i love that^^

[@coltonfrausell9047]

I love the episodes where Craig just gets to hangout and shoot the shit with his friends.

Fuckin way she goes

[@LiamJD182]

If you can take The Downbeat to a far away land (Melbourne) to do a bunch of Aussie band pods that’d be amazing!

[@willis9421]

Craig you are one helluva entrepreneur keep going man. Who else is doing this this type of content? Need more videos. And more gremlin voice thank you

[@CharlieViking95]

Aye gratz to Emma for making her 2nd round on the podcast. Dying Wish are crushing it RN!

[@charleschi843]

I like how Emma is clearly not into podcasts, but she is a monster on the stage. Keep having the stage be your outlet. 🙌🏼👊🏼🤘🏼

[@FilthyJazz]

Another great episode!

[@DulceDul217]

Great episode as always! Really enjoyed it 👌🏻👌🏻💜

[@SarahRochelleBane]

Seeing them in October, can’t wait!

[@scattaredlight]

It’s today… ☠️ Awesome and fun episode 😂 Emma is so cool. Second part goes off the rails 🤣 I’m stoked for the new Dying Wish record. Thanks for the episode🖤

[@ramajamalam]

unsurprisingly, another fantastic episode.

[@justinleen100]

Love dying wish! Cant wait to see them in November!

[@Veeto]

i love this podcast i love you i love every person you bring on THANK YOU CRAIG

[@Veeto]

not even 15 minutes in and im shitting my pants laughing

[@levigarrett7931]

Could've listened to you and Emma shoot the shit about conspiracy theories for a WHILE. Love that episode!

[@pinkherbivore]

This podcast just keeps getting better with age, top notch stuff

[@emmetmcnamee5227]

Fair fucks to you for all the work and effort you've put into this podcast man its really paid off x

[@kelkiiii]

i listen to symptoms of survival literally 3x a day. perfect fucking record, huge inspiration for me. this was a killer episode, fuckin hilarious. thank you so much

[@martinbrookscreative]

Asking Siri where the nearest gun store is and immediately after asking for the nearest drag show might get you put on some watchlists

[@justinsmegelsky168]

Emma seems so down to earth and fun to be around. Buddy of mine said he was in the pit with them once before their set

[@leorobinsonnn]

best podcast 🤝 coolest guest saw dw with counterparts in may and emma was incredible 🤘

[@alexpeak16]

Oh my god they were absolutely amazing! I saw them in Bristol and Brixton and they nearly stole the show, particularly in Bristol! Emma is vicious live!

[@oyepvokadub6522]

Just started listening her band. Great surprise Craig lad.

[@platform1studio610]

amazin epi dude.

[@termination09]

1:22:54 the "detonations" is simply the smoke being pushed out of each story as the floors are collapsing. The smoke has to go somewhere so it goes outward

[@rocioiribe5841]

But you are getting good at this. Also, i first heard of Dying Wish when you first had Emma on back in the before video days. sick band!

[@jean-claudedeabreu6808]

I’m pretty sure Vince Locke has done all of Cannibal’s albums. Great consistency 💪🏽

[@BurnTheNuance]

Never knew she was from Oregon. I'm from a small town in Oregon as well, Cottage Grove. She is not kidding about the meth problem. Especially now with all the current drug policy changes and the fact we don't really have any mental health institutions. Anyways, being apart of the scene growing up in rural Oregon you definitely get used to getting shit on. Another fucking cracked episode. You two talking about conspiracies was something I didn't know that I needed in my life. Just received my tees from your now closed Purgatory line. Fuck their payment spread with you, but damn are they not sick. ❤. P.S. that vinyl art is dummy thicc. Also. If anyone complains about where the money from a subscription goes fuck em'. I hope you do use some of it on shit for yourself.

[@PabloCubaBrown1997]

With Carrie fisher it's mostly reused footage in ep9 after she died, and her daughter who's in the films consulted on the whole thing

[@dilloncooper1080]

Respect for the Norm McDonald shoutout ❤

[@Janesmithy]

Jeez…I wanna hear the symptoms of survival track soooooo badly …what a tease

[@wearesolarset]

Emma and the band are fucking dope people. Our singer got to work with them when they came to Virginia Beach

[@garyforshaw3707]

Love Emma even more now for the hands of God shoutout at the end

55:35 i left the podcast on hold for a couple days...i come back to this part, sounds absurd with absolutely zero context

[@northernxdarkness]

Okay I just have to ask.. Is there any chance you'll ever get someome from Electric Callboy on your Podcast? I get that it might be annoying to ask sth like that, bzt they're not small and an important band in the core scene rn and I think it might fun. Also David, their drummer is an amazing drummer isn't he?

[@reynlord666]

Tried to make it work but I’m on tour when they’re in Glasgow

[@northernxdarkness]

@@reynlord666 damn, hopefully someday

[@beansburton]

Thats crazy she was born in Bend. Lived here for almost 2 decades and its just crazy to hear someone else even mention this area.

[@toddxhiggins]

Road tripped the west coast of the USA back in June/July and absolutely loved bend and Oregon as a whole. Portland was...yeah though haha

[@NotMrDaine]

Jimmy Carr's 9/11 joke was pretty funny, the one about the roast of Pete Davidson's dad.

Who are they talking about when mentioning the balloon? I can't make it out and it's really annoying me.

Coming from the NWHC scene, it's so sick to see Emma on a platform like this!

if dying wish ever comes to finland, i have a place for them to stay

Ayy I went to Santa’s on my bday not too long ago. Definitely said “f*** you” to my buddy during a song but luckily the DJ didn’t hear it 😂 Loved how cheap the drinks were we got plastered that night.

[@CoachSet]

Ok so I know yall love Emma and all but that fact that no one is calling them out in the comments on these 9/11 conspiracies is crazy. Still a big fan tho 😂🤣🤣😂 keep up up the great podcast Craig. So real so fun!!

[@shaka_lutherking7152]

Lmao to call Fragments derivative straight to her face, lol. To be fair tho, it's revival. Not many bands doing this style, things that were old are new again, things get recycled. It's not like there's a trendy new wave of mid 2000s metalcore happening now, so I feel like they hit the right point of nostalgia, are reviving it in a sick way, and doing it with hardcore ethics.

Emma got her booster because its her dying wish lmfao

loved the episode, although using half knowledge about some nutcase conspiracies somehow screams Joe Rogan to me 😂

content

[@pandaonsteroids5154]

I'm a woman and for me the Barbie movie was just okay. It might be because I am the most cisgender woman and have 0 gender dysmorphia or envy for other genders. I think being a woman is awesome, so a lot of the themes they touched on, I just couldn't relate to. If people look down on women or try to control them, 🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼. I thought that the Ken stuff was funny though.

Dear craig, since you have stopped doing the satans hotline podcast anymore, i shall ask you a question instead, how should i deal with this flat earther i met at my job, there's nothing wrong with him, i just like arguing

55:10 hey Emma, if you love communism so much come visit Ukraine and check out the effects of years of a communist regime. It's so easy to be pro communism living in a free capitalist country. Here people have to so sacrifice their lives for their right not to live in a communist country. God, I've heard that the American education system is a complete failure, but I had no idea it was that bad. Did you know communists committed real genocided on several ethnicities? Did you know communists used millions of Ukrainians as cannon fodder in the second world war, then preceded with killing of thousands of the most intelligent men and women to eliminate our chances of survival as a sovereign nation. And we still have to fight for our freedom in the 21st century. Man, it's so easy to be pro communist living on an island in a state where you will NOT be put in jail for possession of more that 5 grams of weed.

[@LoneWolf-479]

BREAKING: Craig has a fetish for she-males. 🤣 I f'n love Emma. Awesome pod brother. That vinyl collab is gonna be sick AF.

[@deadsoulxiii]

yo i know you dont mean harm, but shemale is a very outdated term and a lil bit icky! just "trans" is usually best. glad you loved the episode!

[@LoneWolf-479]

Uhhh... They are both a "bit icky"

[@PuertoRicanBoi127]

same difference.
