The future does not Exist

Time flies when you are working hard. But we managed to get together in one room and record some conversations. Richard tells us about his book and also his upcoming new one. Damian is recovering from an illness and is still a bit deaf. Marcel looks back at the after-festival dip. So, once to entertain you for an hour. Oh, and Richard and Damian are training for the Leiden Marathon.

It is the end of the year, and because we are not sure about the future look back at the last couple of months. We talk about the trips we did together or solo, about the new people we got to know, and the friends we ran into all over the world. We talk about books and records that inspired us and about a tank that will be driving around the breakfast table at Richard's.

Richard is not in the country but Damien and Marcel decided to do an update. An update of our busy lives, with traveling the world and watch live music. Damien in Nashville and Marcel in Kortrijk. Amazed by the power of music and enjoying live. Also our regular book and music suggestions. So press play and get another update.

We all went to a festival last week but it turned out to be a family gathering in Germany. A small town called Haldern that invited all their long lost family members and also some entertainment. Damian and Marcel tell you about their experience to be around Richard Foster. The published author but also performer. His backing band from Rotterdam called Rats on Rafts helped out. We also talk about...

Back again with some real talk about losing friends and sharing memories. One of the reasons behind the whole podcast. But don't worry we drift off into all kind of directions and ended preparing a balcony picnic in the back alleys of Oegstgeest,

The guys are back and we have a good talk about walking. Richard just finished a walk and is very happy with his medal. We introduced a new segment in the show with the book we are currently reading and which album we are playing on our stereo. We also tried video but that is postponed because the recording failed.

The future might a around the corner be the past is already written in books. All of us like to read books so it was bound to be a topic for us to talk about. We discuss reading from a book or with a kindle. The feeling of being surrounded by books and we pick our favourites. We also have a present for our lobster and he discovers a secret Marcel and Damian have had for the last couple months.

The idea was to talk about holidays but we got a little distracted and talked about a bunch of other stuff. We tried to return to days off, bank holodays, family trips but a pub crawl had to be discussed and other reasons to go drinking. In the end we asked the question if we feel like a tourist in our own town and if we get homesick.

Grownups Marcel and Damian get together for a serious conversation while kid Richard is outside playing. We talk about stuff that excites us, things we buy to make us feel happy. The joy of having a storage locker and what stuff you gather in a place like that. The important things in life. Also how close are we to our midlife crisis?

A start of the year with Damian and Marcel. We talk about our plans for the new year. Not really new years resolutions but just plans that should be dealt with during the upcoming 12 months. Also, the joy of solo travelling. Finally our plans for the podcasts.

Happy end of the year. Get ready for all family business and free time. What are you going to do? We already started drinking and had our office party and the pub. Before that we recorded this podcast so you will have and excuse to spent an hour of your time wearing headphones.

But also playing cards or weird games involving booze and totempoles. Quick introduction to werewolves and plyaing detective. Do you know other games we don't know.

The three of us together again and we talk about the difficult topic of cake. What is cake and what is a biscuit or pie. Why does Damian don't like a gevulde koek? Is apple pie the best creation of Dutch pastry. We discover our favourite cakes and biscuits and discuss tradition. Is a tompouche easy to eat and which cake should be served at your birthday party.

Church, religion, and growing up. Damian and Marcel talk about their religious experiences in the past and today—also the meaning of Pinksteren and growing up watching Pinkpop. Damian explains the reason why he became a choir boy and it's not to please his mother.

We continue on a topic which was mentioned last time, maps! Maps of roads, countries, city or just random things. It brings us back to trying to remember how Leiden station looked in the year 2000. Which buildings are still there and which once are long gone. Did that tunnel already exist and where did they managed to leave all those bikes. We also wonder how good are maps skills are and if we rat...
