'You're not gonna be able to monetise this one sorry' - cut to ads. Thank you Simon
you're welcome!
this!!!
Came to the comments the moment that happened lmfao
hahaha fantastic timing
this might be my dream blunt rotation
“You won’t be able to monetize this” -> ad 🤣 I’m still laughing
This is one of my new favorite episodes 🤣 Courtney is awesome 🖤 and the banter very funny
Vibes are immaculate. I could listen to these 3 talk all day.
lol Mike’s line “it’s pretty easy to not do” had me rolling 😂
Just heard the subject it refers to...yikes 🤮
@@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power timestamp?
@@carljohnson9474 pfft, I don't know that, brother. It was relatively early in the interview. I didn't watch the whole thing. Past the haircut talk, and she was doing voices, and they joked that the conversation was boring.....it's pretty early on. You'll find it quick.

@@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power no problem thanks man
The milking conversation had me in tears
Mike and Craig saying "fuck ya dude" over and over is pure comedy. Also, Courtney's Mike Tyson impression is hilarious.
The accents and impressions never stop. They're too funny
Is it though?? Seriously.. "hilarious"??
@johnthompson6689 humour is subjective...I could be wheezing over somthing funny and you might just go.."huuh"
Mike is such an inspiration. I want to become a musical mad scientist. Courtney mastered growl/scream and singing. Phenomenal. I kinda wanna see a SPIRITBOX/SLEEPTOKEN collab.
Well, that's a honestly bunch of friends talking absolute bollocks and I am so here for it haha.
Also love Hardlore, ridiuclously dudes but ace. Love their hard songs by soft bands released today.
Love these 2. Our daughter made them a picture and she gave it to a security guard and then he gave it to Michael and then courtney blew her a kiss, waved to her during a song, zev and mike gave her the pic and drum sticks from that show. ❤ was so sweet ( this was a few years ago in St. Pete fl )
Tbh, this type of convo/bants is exactly what I’m interested in when my favorite bands are being interviewed. Top shit!
I love that Reiner from AoT has a podcast
I’ll take it
Is that a compliment to his buff ness?
17:53 “There’s a Nolly pack”
*is an image of a pour over*
☠️
I don’t know why it was perfect but it was 😂
Genuinely would LOVE to see a Downbeat episode with Buster. Also would love to see a Spiritbox project produced by Buster.
That would be ungodly
I love how Craig apologizes each time right before the most fire episode ever. I’m convinced once he says that the episode is for sure gold 🔥
Good to know they're Tesseract fans. Tesseract still doesn't get enough love.
I mean, The Mara Effect Pt. 3 has Tesseract written all over it tbh.
All the Mara effect stuff lmao
It warms my heart to see them love Tesseract as much as I do
Finally got to see TesseracT this year. Epic.
I remember Jamey Jasta mentioned on his podcast that Hatebreed lost an opening spot for Megadeth. The band was Tesseract. Dave Mustaine is a fan, so he picked them over Hatebreed. Jamey was hurt, but mentioned that Hatebreed eventually opened for Megadeth. Funny story.
Courtney doing accents is just a small taste of how unhinged she might be 💀
trust- she is
I've known quite a few women who do that without batting an eyelash.... but it's not a tick limited to women....
It literally felt like I was chilling in the living room with a group of close friends just chatting. Thank you for creating something so fresh and natural!
Watching this in my "FACKING BUNGALOW" and loving every second. You guys have such great chemistry.
"I did a dramatic everything change when I got divorced" is the most true statement I've ever heard lmaooo, it's a fucking wild ride. Amazing interview, thank you for sharing such a cool time with us Craig!
when a band as profiled as Spiritbox are right now, are so relaxed and down to earth to chat shit for over an hr and a half rather than agendred questions...so refreshing...well done craig x
this is probably the funniest podcast I heard in a bit lols
The face Craig makes at 49:46 at the realisation of midi drums has me rolling 🤣
The moment she said misogynoir I became a Stan. I'm going to go download some SpiritBox rn
I played with Mike and Courtney on the same night. They were in different bands back then. Unicron and Fall in Archaea 😅. Amazing.
This might dethrone the Kubla Kahn episode for funniest episode. 😂 Great show!
the turn around for the stallion one... I N S A N E! thanks for giving this a platfrom craig and cudos to the spiritbox gang for pulling it of! i loved it!
I love when these guys are on podcasts, but turns out I love them even more when they're on this podcast!
Only thing is, like 10 minutes in I thought 'Courtney totally has the female version of Craig's hair' then I couldn't unsee it
I love how Mike, Courtney, and Craig speak so highly of my favorite band
"Someone's milking the king." Funniest sentence I've heard this year. 🤣
This ep’s got me crackin’ up. Gold as always.
This was fun as hell to watch. Thanks! Completely agree about the Tesseract album. Saw them in Florida this tour and was blown away too.
Wooooph. What a great episode!
5 minutes in and already incredible!! New podcast day is the best day 😊
One of the best live bands I've ever seen. Great episode as always!
47:55 Mike’s Borat impression I’m DEAD🤣💀 I love these two so much💙🩵
Get the badge in Mike
god I love her. she's so talented and cool and super beautiful.
That was a great one, thank you for that ❤
To me Spiritbox is the best new band in years! Absolutely Love Them! ❤💙❤💙
set looks so cool!
Buster Odeholm, The absolute G, not to mention his mixing, mastering and production credits are S-tier. Thrown, Vildjharta, Humanities Last Breath. Dats him..
Loved this! Great to see how down to earth they are. I'm super excited for the new album. So proud of this band! Whatever they do, mad respect and I wish them the absolute best! 🤘
I love this! More the reason why I love spiritbox ❤
It’s crazy because I’ve been listening to Courtney ever since Unicron
This was an amazing episode, Craig 🖤
brilliant podcast! might be the best one yet
That was one of the best pods I've ever watched. It was just some friends hanging out and shooting the shit.
SPIRITBOX YOU ARE AMAZING! ❤
One of my fav eps!
Top tier episode 🔥🔥
I throughly enjoyed this! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Listening to your favourite band talk about how much they love your other favourite band will never get old
IT IS HERE.
These bang bro dont stop em.
I just clicked on this because Spiritbox planning to just get some highlights of what this video is and not knowing who Craig Reynolds was.. The video is now almost over and I pleasantly surprised. Great host, Courtney and Mike were awesome, fun banter.
Excellent fucking episode 10/10
I've seen Tesseract 4 times, and they ARE the tightest band out there. There is not a tighter production, it's incredible.
I love Spiritbox so much! TFOF is my favourite record in the last decade!
You guys look great, not in the least because of the great setup. Such a joy to listen to you guys chat.
This episode was so damn good. Also cool to see Courtney and Mike are still so down to earth.
Honestly would listen to weekly a podcast of the 3 of you talking about random shit, this episode was a damn hoot! Had me cackling like a maniac at my desk
Amazing episode dude
Mike rocking The Acacia Strain hoodie. Love to see it. My favorite band of all time
Absolutely LOVED this, I find Courtney so inspiring. Wish I was as cool as her!
I love this! 45 minutes in, and there's been like 3 questions asked! What a fantastic interview!
humour me, what would you have asked
@@reynlord666 mate, I have no recommendations for you! I loved every minute of it for the hour I've been watching. The lack of layout, and same old same old type of questions is perfect in my opinion. I'd much rather watch friends sitting around shooting the shit like this any day. Nice work, brotha.
New to the podcast. Love this episode 🤘🏻🔥
Love Spiritbox, great interview this, so down to earth despite their success. Just when I think I couldn't like them any more I now find out Mike's a red too, good lad! 🇾🇪
Thanks for this video Craig. I've become quite obsessed with Spiritbox over the last year or so. Any interviews or chats with Courtney and Mike that are longer than 5 minutes is greatly appreciated. Thumbs up mate.
This was a fantastic interview
AWESOME INTERVIEW. I am Canadian and was just in Vegas sporting my new Spiritbox shirt. My wife and I were blown away how many people of colour were giving me thumbs up and your stereo typical metalhead had no awareness of my shirt lol. Congrats on your Grammy nod and keep up the amazing art you are sharing. Hugz!!
Y’all some wholesome blokes . Much love
Fuck yeah! Can't wait to see them live 🔥
LMAOOOOO the canadian accent bit killed me😭💜
To hear Mike bring up Certain Shade Of Green from Science just solidifies why I Love Spiritbox. Best Incubus album..IYKYK
Fave pod 🤝 fave band 🙌
love them
Awesome chat.
another good ass podcast. craig you are literally unstoppable
yeees, never clicked on an episode so fast!
best spiritbox interview of all time
Love the hoodie!
Possibly the best Downbeat episode yet.
Thank you Craig, Courtney and Mike this is coming from the other 90% of us
Fall in Archaea was sick, Craig. Definetly check them, I remember watching their drum playthroughs and they were sickkkk
Absolutely luuuv your podcast 🖤 Could you possibly do an episode with ten56?
Your fucking podcasts always appear at night. There goes sleepy time. Amazing work Craig. Amazing Sir
Whoa nice!!!!
LET’S GOOOOO
Great ep. Looking forward to the debut single from Stunt Cock with great anticipation.😊
Can't wait for Stuntcock ❤
Love Spiritbox!
feel the exact same way about downtown LA... shithole. Great convo altogether 😂
Nolly as a pour over. This pod gets better and better Mr. Reynolds.
Mike’s cut looks fuckin COLD. Goddamn.
Just put in for their eternal blue vinyl 💙
easily my favorite episode yet
Best episode. Mourtney and Brendan Murphy are my favorite guests ever. The conversations that result are amazing.
This was such a good podcast episode. It's really fun seeing friends shooting the shit.
Do what you want to do simple as that screw the critics and screw the haters, do what you think is best at the current time I'll definitely be tuning in for the premiere no matter if it's heavy or soft completely fine with whatever because your content is great
Good audio, video wall was a vibe!
this one was so fun
