Rob is just phoning it in. He is tired, he's bored. Choccy is usually my least favourite but this time he was genuinely happy amd knew loads about the music and was having a great time. They're useless when they are bored and going thru the motions. I can't see it going on at the rate they've been going. Burn out and boredom will kill TPD TV if the shitty fried food doesn't get them first.
Im still waiting for the ball to drop for Rob that a lot of people were watching to see a group of mates having a good time- not to see their opinions of festivals/events they obviously don’t enjoy but are too scared to say that they didn’t enjoy it for fear of upsetting anyone.
It was really nice to see Choccy enjoying himself though.

500 people were affected apparently. It was the Yorkshire pudding stand and another undisclosed one, news articles saying they were shut down mid festival. How do you fuck up that bad hahah

Pretty shitty (excuse the pun) that the medical tent were charging for diorlyte too. Fair enough if you were in there for drinking too much or something self inflicted but just thought that was bad!

Jake just can't seem to act natural in front of the camera. He's got worse as time has gone on, his tone of voice is very forced.

The vid was okay but the lineup of the festival wasn't great. Also some acts seemed to have really good sound and then others sounded terrible. No Doubt sounded pretty shoddy, not sure if them was them or the system setup.
I always think jake acts like he's a presenter on the travel channel or like a place in the sun or something. He needs to tone it down.

I saw them at busted at download in 24 . A fan came up to Jake and was basically crying at him saying their videos saved her life etc and he could not care less he acted like such a total twat I felt so sorry for her he didn’t even have time for a photo for her! whereas we saw Danny multiple times and he was such a friendly nice guy to everyone that was going up to him! Jake makes me feel sick. His ego is disgusting.

This year’s Coachella video is up. So far I think it’s better than last year’s and they seem to be enjoying it more.
I still miss MB though but it kind of feels Choc has taken over his role in the group.
I just don’t like Choccy, I find him very irritating!

We think the ‘on a budget’ was probably not 100% choice, they probably can’t afford to blow money left right and centre like they did last year.

Yeah we’ve stopped watching the videos to be honest. It’s just got a bit tired as a format and you can tell they don’t put as much effort into the videos as they used to. Smaller groups, bickering etc. Not fun to watch!
Pretty much exactly the same for us now too. The comments about Jakes girlfriend in the Burning man vid were the nail in the coffin😬 Doesn’t feel like a group of mates having fun anymore.

His comments about Blackpool have really rubbed me the wrong way. He’s a classist prick.

I noticed that they made another Joke about Jake in the latest US festival video and then put *sorry reddit* on the screen. Just goes to show he has no idea why the audience turned on him for how he treated Jake and his GF. He thinks it’s just trolls.

I agree the content is getting samey, they’ve probably got all this year planned out but if I were them would just do Leeds and Download next year, film them as they’re the ones they seem to like best then find something else to do other than festivals, if that’s possible? Mary is a bit out of hand when she’s drunk and shouldn’t be wandering around on her own in that state.

I think their content is suffering as a result too, its all become a bit repetitive.
This seem to be showing on their views as well. They're slowly going on a downward trajectory. Like all youtubers though they blame the algorithm etc.

I can’t be the only one who doesn’t mind Ben. 😂 He’s probably the least try-hard out of them all these days.

Can't they see it's in the 'rave about' section?
It's OK to be critical of the things you like and it doesn't make you a 'hater.' To be hated on for being a hater as well. Bit thick innit. Kiss arses.

On a lighter note, I fucking love TPD, enough to be a Patreon subscriber. (Not so) Fun fact; They used to live more or less opposite me when they were at Eastpoint but I hadn't heard of them back then.

I think Jake is ace, dead funny but like fuck he's 24. I've recently started warming to Choc but that tarot alpha delta thing got my tits.

Used to really enjoy watching these guys, as a seasoned gig goer myself, it was always interesting to see some of the festivals and far flung events I'd never been to. However, I've found them really cringy and hard to watch of late. I'm no prude, and can still have it with the best of them. Yet these guys are now in their 30's and still trying to binge drink and act like they're in their late teens/early twenties. Now I don't expect the pipe and slippers to come out, but you do learn to moderate yourself a bit a least. I think their content is suffering as a result too, its all become a bit repetitive.
Rock up at a festival/event, get smashed, eat kebabs/pizza, throw up, loose Mary, Choccy thinking he's American, it's all become a bit tedious now.
When you think there's people their age that now have families, hold down careers, and are still able to do what they do without looking like complete imbeciles. It just makes it all look even more tragic, they should go back to basics and focus on the gigs/events more. Instead of seeing how quick they can get mullered, left the binge drinking in my mid 20's.
I agree, us as viewers are now growing up too and it's starting to get a bit sad now.
i do wonder how this lifestyle is sustainable long term?

Something I found quite sad about Mary was she explained on a podcast that she uses ALL her annual leave on TPD events, so she doesn't get to go anywhere with her mates (unless they also go to the festivals, which let's face it more like 2-3 not 20).
She said that's her choice and she's happy with it but girl you don't get these years back, and if you then retire from the non stop festival content life and you turn round and all your girls are at a stage of life where they have families / high flying careers and significantly less time for you... Like, ouch!
I wasn’t aware Mary had a ‘typical’ job, does she not just do OF? or did she say on the podcast she had a job? Also, not everyone wants a family/kids and she’s travelling the world with TPD, so I don’t think it’s that sad of a thing 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’d happily sacrifice my annual leave to fly all over the world, like you said, she’s only young once and I’m sure they’ll be amazing memories to look back on if she decides to settle and have a family. She can also not go, plenty of TPD members only appear in certain videos so she’s at liberty to decline to go places to see her friends instead etc

That’s the jist I got. Full of trustafarians, checking out of their corporate jobs for a few days, trying to prove their ‘alternative’ credentials. Don’t think Briody was too keen on the other festival goers with his ‘pick me’ observation.
Thats 100% the clientele at burning man. They made a comment about there being people from all walks of life but at $600 a ticket, that’s just not going to be true!

I agree , I watched the Kyoto one because I was interested to see the city , well it was a waste of time .

Basically it was 4 men acting like giddy teenagers , tbh it’s getting a bit weird now they are in their 30’s acting like teens and worse hanging out with teens at festivals etc , getting a bit noncey !

At least Mary wasn't with them getting pissed and lost on her own as usual !

Think the long length of vlog is just to get as many ads in as possible !

In one gasp wanting to buy a Rimova suitcase. ( cabin size is £1k) the next thanking the patreons for handing over their hard earned cash !! You couldn't make it up !!

Definitely think Rob has Peter Pan syndrome. He acts like he’s 17.

That reminds me, I noticed Rob in Leeds on the day after Slam Dunk fest. He kept looking around obviously hoping to get spotted by viewers. It was quite comical watching him bob around.
