secret. 
Well, now you got to give the

Zippers, welcome to this episode

15
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,440
of the TSB Podcast with me, she 
and Todd. 

16
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,520
I'd say we've been doing this 
podcast for a long time down 

17
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:43,760
along. 
We've been doing the podcast for

18
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:48,200
roughly ballpark 18. 
Months for the podcast we've. 

19
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,560
Been in here for a long 418 
months, done the podcast, been 

20
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,400
in the studio for four and I've 
had a lot of guests. 

21
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,880
You're talking hundreds of hours
worth of content. 

22
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,560
Some of the best comedians in 
the land and funny stuff's 

23
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,000
happened but just a second ago I
just got confused as to which 

24
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,040
camera I should be looking in 
and Don has never laughed more 

25
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:10,200
than that moment there, you 
know, Which is disrespectful 

26
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,000
because we've had the finest 
comedy minds in and all the 

27
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,760
Turkish from me. 
They realised that after 18 

28
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,000
months I've been looking on the 
wrong camera the whole time. 

29
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,480
It's because you went down. 
What camera am I looking at? 

30
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,280
And there's literally only one 
camera pointed at your face. 

31
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,640
Yeah, yeah. 
Look, but that's you. 

32
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:29,280
That's you. 
That's. 

33
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,800
Just and I make no. 
Apologies for that's just. 

34
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,120
The way you are, the end of the 
day. 

35
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,640
At the end of the day. 
I'm joined by Aaron Butler. 

36
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:38,640
Hello. 
Good to be here, thanks for 

37

This is the most normal you've 

38
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,600
been dressed. 
It's like you're trying to do an

39
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:48,640
impression of a regular guy. 
And it's not working the yeah, 

40
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,240
I'm just it's the feeler today. 
So don't want to disrespect any 

41
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,360
of the events happening left the
host didn't want to be too loud 

42
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,680
and in your because I live 
beside where the feel is 

43
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,800
happening. 
So I just went let Matt Conlon 

44

00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,040
The biggest cultural 
celebration. 

49
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,520
Don't you want me to do reads? 
Yeah, Don wants me to do some 

50
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:20,800
reads. 
You do reads and we'll come back

51
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:21,680

Let's park that. 

52
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,440
Sorry, go. 
Sorry, let's do some. 

53
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,480
Reads Read it out. 
Let me kick off Blue tube with 

54
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:31,200
with PUNJANA. 
What does that give you? 

55
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,800
Punjana? 
What is punjana #1 Selling tea 

56
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,160
in Northern Ireland. 
Thompson family have been making

57
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,800
tea since the 1800s. 
You know, a lot of people at 

58
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:45,200
that time were concerned about 
mediaeval battles, but the 

59
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,680
Thompson family were just 
working on tea in between dodge 

60
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,840
and arrows being shot from the 
Fort Cullis. 

61
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,000
The Thompson family were like, 
how do we get nice tea to the 

62
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,520
people of Northern Ireland? 
And they travel all around the 

63
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,360
world to bring us the best tea 
there is. 

64
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,040
Because here's the thing, if I 
was setting up a tea company, it

65
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,640
would be from like handy places.
Like if I was setting up a tea 

66
00:03:07,640 --> 00:03:11,440
company, I would be bringing you
tea from places like Lurgan, 

67
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,120
Dungannon. 
I wouldn't be, I don't even know

68
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,160
if there is tea fields there. 
But I wouldn't will be willing 

69
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:20,800
to travel to places like India 
where the Thompson family go a 

70
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,280
place like that to bring you the
best tea in the world. 

71
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,760
The Thompson family taste all of
their tea with their own mouths,

72
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,880
mouths, mouths. 
You decide. 

73
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,600
It's the number one selling tea 
in Northern Ireland. 

74
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,280
Look, you know, there's a lot of
brands out there, but you know 

75
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,760
that a lot of them are evil. 
Every other brand basically. 

76
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,680
But Panjana, it's just a good 
cup of tea we're drinking on the

77
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,360
podcast. 
We're fuelled by it and and you 

78
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:49,520
just got to go out there and get
it. 

79
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,360
I wish I had a discount code or 
something, but I, we asked 

80
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,800
Panjana, we asked the Thompsons,
do you want to do a discount 

81
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,320
code? 
Can be able to buy tea online. 

82
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,160
Is it weird to buy tea online? 
And they went, no, I just tell 

83
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,120
people about it. 
So we've told people about it 

84
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,120
and you know what to do? 
Go out there, drink Punjana, get

85
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:10,000
Punjana tattooed on you, on your
forehead, on your back, on your 

86
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,760
thigh, whatever it is. 
The first person to get Punjana 

87
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:19,320
tattooed on themselves gets set 
in on the podcast for one week. 

88
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,839
Would that work? 
Someone will do that, some 

89
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,640
lunatic will do that. 
Someone will just be sitting in 

90
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:29,320
that chair with Punjana like 
Mike Tyson around their face and

91
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:35,800
it'll be Paddy McDonald. 
Panjana tastes good in your 

92
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,720
mouth. 
Also, we are sponsored by 

93
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,480
Manscaped. 
Let's go from the mouth down 

94
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:48,520
South. 
Manscaped are the number one in 

95
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,200
men's below the belt grooming. 
And you guys know as well as I 

96
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:57,400
do everything above the belt bit
Presbyterian, a little bit safe,

97
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,720
a little bit beige. 
Everything below the belt, rude,

98
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:08,080
raunchy, Satanic, I don't know. 
But what I do know is that look,

99
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:12,280
if you're overgrown down there 
and listen, as much as I am a 

100
00:05:12,280 --> 00:05:17,280
big manscaped advocate and user 
of the product, I could do with.

101
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,160
I could do with practise and 
what I preach right now. 

102
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,960
You know, when you just leave it
like slightly too long and then 

103
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,200
you get a bit scared. 
You're like, oh, it's a little 

104
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,240
bit like say, you know, you're 
grass. 

105
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,720
Say during the summer, you're 
cutting your grass all the time 

106
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,000
and it looks good and you're, 
you're actually cutting 

107
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,800
sometimes too much. 
You're like a couple of times a 

108
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,880
week, you know, and it stays 
great length. 

109
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,680
Do you ever get it where the 
grass grows like slightly too 

110
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,680
long and you go, that's OK, 
isn't it? 

111
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,240
I mean, that looks fine, but 
then what about when it's really

112
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,760
long and you're like, I might 
need a strimmer first and then 

113
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,720
to cut the grass? 
I'm nearly at that point. 

114
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,520
So what I'm saying is after this
podcast, I'm going to take the 

115
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:58,520
lawnmower 4.0, Speaking of 
lawnmowers, and I'm going to 

116
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,960
sort myself out. 
This has wireless charging. 

117
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:02,760
You know, there was a lawnmower 
one point, though. 

118
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,320
You know, there's a lawnmower 
2.03 point. 

119
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,560
Oh, Manscape said. 
You're never going to guess 

120
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,880
what's coming next. 
Everybody went four point and 

121
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,680
Manscape will region because 
they're like, well, yeah, but 

122
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,600
you've kind of ruined the. 
But look at this product right 

123
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,440
now. 
It's below the belt. 

124
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:17,800
You could use it anywhere below 
the belt. 

125
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,120
Well. 
I just did that. 

126
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,600
They they're in their 
performance package. 

127
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,040
They have things like ball 
cleanser, ball deodorant, ball 

128
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,840
wipes. 
If people are out and about. 

129
00:06:28,840 --> 00:06:31,280
Again, if you're going to 
things, if you're maybe taking a

130
00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:34,360
little bit of a break to, I 
don't know, Cancun, if you're 

131
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,920
taking a break to Blackpool, all
you need to do is get the 

132
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,720

Sometimes it was great, 
sometimes it wasn't. 

143
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,680
And we're brutally honest with 
that and they're good fun. 

144
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,560
Or sometimes I take the baby for
a walk, but the I put a Britney

Spears microphone on. 
I don't it's Bluetooth 

146
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,640

about country roads talking to 

147

Sure. 
My guest is Aaron Butler. 

152
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,320
Do you have a middle name? 
Mitchell, I swear to God I do. 

153
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,120
I don't even have my ID on me. 
Hold on. 

154
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,680
If I can find a photo of my ID. 
Mitchell Butler sounds like a 

155
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,800
law firm that I would not want 
to represent. 

156
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,880
Genuinely, if I can find a 
document on my Dropbox, yeah, 

157
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,760
your. 
Mum like your mum like these 

158
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,800
standards. 
I don't know what the the 

159
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,560
concept behind Mitchell was that
no, they didn't even because 

160
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:58,560
they had. 
Well, Mitchell can be a first 

161
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,560
name as well. 
Yeah, the butt. 

162
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,040
Mitchell Butler. 
Yeah. 

163
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,480
Our Mitchell Butler sounds like 
the sassiest choreographer in 

164
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,400
Time. 
In ways then the I can't find, I

165
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:10,880
can't. 
Believe you. 

166
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,000
I believe you've gone into that.
You've sorry. 

167
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,760
Do you mind? 
You, you don't mind. 

168
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,240
The name is. 
No. 

169
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,440
Stewart, but it's spelled 
Stewart. 

170
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,800
Hate that, hate that. 
I want to lose it like. 

171
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,600
Yeah, do just what do you do? 
Do you have to go to court or 

172
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,160
something and just legally? 
Drop. 

173
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,520
I mean, I don't, I don't think 
you go to court. 

174
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,160
I think you maybe just fill in 
like a thing. 

175
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,679
I think you go to court like 
packed courthouse in a jury. 

176
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,440
And announce it you. 
Could give your evidence and 

177
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,200
weirdly there's a prosecution, 
you have the defence. 

178
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,640
Yeah, you go to gaol for it. 
Aaron Mitchell Butler. 

179
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,560
And you honestly that that's a 
better stage name than Aaron 

180
00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:48,160
Butler. 
Aaron Mitchell Butler. 

181
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,520
I start using it now, yeah. 
Because Aaron Mitchell Butler 

182
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,320
sounds like he might do stand 
up. 

183
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,240
He might do. 
Interpretive dance I do. 

184
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,080
It might be like, you know, stop
smoking Lecture from Aaron 

185
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,320
Mitchell Butler. 
Yeah, I tell Internet safety to 

186
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,080
kids in schools. 
Yeah, not well. 

187
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:03,920
Well, you would not be the 
person. 

188
00:09:04,680 --> 00:09:08,280
Well, the the we were, I'm 
gigging with Patty McDonald, the

189
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,520
Minnows Tour, and he's just 
saying stuff. 

190
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,800
Tell me more. 
And yeah, he's just saying it's 

191
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,080
very different vibe than gigging
with you on your tour. 

192
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,200
He just says stuff and most like
90% of his stories start with 

193
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,840
I've a mate right and the rest 
of the story just goes into 

194
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,200
utter chaos by the way. 
You know when he says I've got a

195
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,880
mate, what he means is this is 
this happened to me? 

196
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,280
It's all him but he said one 
line out of the blue last night 

197
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,320
and I had to stop and just go. 
That's that's shite Paddy. 

198
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,040
I'd literally he goes, he's in 
bag of Williams car. 

199
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:45,840
He goes, 7 out of 10 people are 
paid offence and I went and 

200
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:50,000
there was utter silence and I 
just thought and went no, I was 

201
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,880
like, that's not true and I've. 
Used in a car looking at each 

202
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,600
other, do a man. 
That's why I was like, I was 

203
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,440
like, so statistically me, your 
William is a paedophile right 

204
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,320
now is what you're saying. 
And I was like, you're saying 

205
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,760
70% of the world's population is
a paedophile. 

206
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,720
He goes, aw, he's like nobody. 
That's not true. 

207
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,920
He's like, look it up. 7 out of 
10 people are paedophiles. 

208
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,240
I mean, statistics of Patty 
McDonnell, I was like, it's just

209
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:15,440
not. 
It just can't be real. 

210
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,520
And he'll like he proper 
conviction on what he says. 

211
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,400
Like believes it to the NTH 
degree, but that's Patty for 

212
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,880
you. 7 out of 10 people. 
Get very different treatment 

213
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,160
with Patty as well compared to 
like yourself or whatever. 

214
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,880
We went to the the elk last 
night and as you know, when we 

215
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,720
go to the Elk, they. 
Oh, my backstage vibe is a lot 

216
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,360
of, you know, a lot of 
potpourri, a lot of buffets, 

217
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:42,080
shades, long. 
It's it's just, yeah, we get, we

218
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:46,520
get the works, Yeah. 
Then we get when we went there 

219
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,640
last time, they gave us menus on
the way in. 

220
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,000
They put us in a beautiful room.
They like the trade guys just 

221
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,360
come down whenever you feel like
blah, blah. 

222
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,880
We show up a party. 
They're just like, I go out the 

223
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,760
back there, There's no, not even
a glass of water. 

224
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,800
Like I was just sitting there 
going, this isn't as cool now 

225
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,480
people. 
Panic when I come in as if I'm, 

226
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:09,480
you know, like an undercover. 
Shopper. 

227
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:11,920
Yeah, like. 
If you knew there was an 

228
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,080
undercover shopper, you'd be 
running about being like, here, 

229
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,440
this is the best trolley. 
People like, run in. 

230
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:17,880
They're like, oh, the Weeble has
dietary. 

231
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:18,960
Requirements. 
Yeah, they do. 

232
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,080
There's always someone running 
about sweating at my gigs that 

233
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,240
works there that like and I'm 
really overworking them. 

234
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,640
Yeah, and the whole week leading
up, do you arrive and they're 

235
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,800
like, Shane's coming tomorrow? 
Yeah, I'm the only guy who gets 

236
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,400
a Coke 0 with this meal and 
demands they just pour a bit so 

237
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:39,240
I can taste it. 
Yes, I mean 7. 

238
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,920
He's talking about 7 out of 10 
people's paedophile at 7 out of 

239
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,120
10 gigs. 
I'll spit in a member of staff's

240
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,240
face if something substandard, 
even just a little bit like I've

241
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,480
seen it, I fly off the handle 
easily. 

242
00:11:49,560 --> 00:11:52,200
Justifiably though, you know 
they deserve it. 

243
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,280
We deserve the utmost of 
treatment and we go to the top 

244
00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:01,840
of the town in Antrim. 
Here I was going to ask you 

245
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,320
this, like what? 
Because you know, in the podcast

246
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,400
we have a lot of fun. 
We have a lot of fun and we can 

247
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,120
talk. 
What I love about doing in the 

248
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,080
podcast is we can change gear, 
we can talk about anything. 

249
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:15,680
And what do you think is the key
to happiness? 

250
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,480
Oh, that's a, that's a deep. 
Big one, luck. 

251
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:23,760
And has your answer to that or 
your perception of happiness 

252
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,680
changed over time? 
Yes. 

253
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:32,440
Like so in my marketing course 
in uni, we used to study like 

254
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,080
that whole thing because it was 
like when you make people happy.

255
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,600
Well, when you're doing 
marketing, they're like when 

256
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,920
they're talking about products 
or services that you're marking 

257
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,160
to people, like they're talking 
about how you can market 

258
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,800
something to make someone feel 
like it makes them happy. 

259
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,600
So you buy it. 
So for example, if if Apple make

260
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,960
a product that's an iPhone or an
iPad and they show the advert, 

261
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,680
you're listening to music, 
you're walking down the street, 

262
00:12:52,680 --> 00:12:55,120
you're happy, you see that and 
you go, you associate that with 

263
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,040
happiness. 
So it was called Maslow's 

264
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,640
hierarchy of needs, which is 
like this table that was 

265
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,040
constructed like years ago. 
It's like a pyramid. 

266
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,280
At the top it's, it's like stuff
like love. 

267
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,600
And at the bottom you have stuff
like food, stuff that you 

268
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,480
actually need to survey food 
shelter. 

269
00:13:12,560 --> 00:13:15,000
And it starts getting up to more
personal stuff like, you know, 

270
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,720
your own goals and self esteem 
and blah, blah, blah. 

271
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,720
So I think it's just a whole mix
of thing, things like that. 

272
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,880
But in terms of like, what's 
changed, I think maybe when I 

273
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:32,760
was younger, maybe what made me 
happy was, I don't know, like 

274
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,200
it's so hard to answer. 
What about you? 

275
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,560
What like. 
As in the differences between 

276
00:13:39,560 --> 00:13:41,840
what you used to be having. 
Yeah, well, like, do you know 

277
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,000
what? 
What used to make you happy was 

278
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,360
simpler, wasn't it? 
Like when you were 14, getting a

279
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,880
chippy made you happy. 
I think almost the opposite. 

280
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:54,400
I think I would have wanted 
everything the line up. 

281
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,760
When you were younger. 
Yeah, I would have wanted it 

282
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:03,120
would have taken not I'm like 
pretty happy person. 

283
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:08,160
But when I was younger, I'd be 
like, if this is if this happens

284
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,520
and then that means that happens
and then that knocks onto the if

285
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,000
all these things happen 
together, then I'll be happy. 

286
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,240
I would need everything in my 
life to be going right before I 

287
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,040
was like amazing. 
Whereas now I will definitely 

288
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:24,360
celebrate the smaller victories 
more, right, and I'll go all 

289
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,560
these other things might be 
happening, but this thing just 

290
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:30,720
happened. 
Case in point yesterday. 

291
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,520
So we're living with the my 
inlaws for a while while our 

292
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:37,920
house getting done and I order 
AT shirt and a hoodie on a 

293
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,600
sauce. 
This is happiness for me. 

294
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,840
All right, so so that's making 
me happy that they're arriving. 

295
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,200
We things like that. 
I'm looking forward to that. 

296
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:52,520
And my, my mother-in-law texts 
me, I think and says, what did 

297
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,720
you order? 
And I was like just T-shirt and 

298
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,280
hoodies. 
Like it's the biggest package 

299
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,960
I've ever seen. 
That makes me happy because I'm 

300
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:03,120
going, they've sent the wrong 
order, but what's in it? 

301
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,000
So I'm buzzing to get home and 
go through this because I know 

302
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,240
that they fucked up the order. 
And I think if my original stuff

303
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:14,640
is also in this and there's 
extra stuff, this is the stuff 

304
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,960
dreams were made of. 
Because who knows, maybe it was 

305
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,720
like some sort of Middle 
Eastern. 

306
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,440
It was my order. 
It was my order. 

307
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:26,720
I mean if it was your order I. 
Would have arrived on a draft. 

308
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,160
I'd be like, I can't wear this 
stuff because I'm white, you 

309
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:33,160
know, but me neither. 
But I but I got back and I 

310
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,640
looked at this the ASOS package 
was this by this. 

311
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,040
That's a big. 
One it was it was it was like a 

312
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,000
Buffalo. 
The a sauce package. 

313
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,720
I tear into it. 
I'm like if this guy that's 

314
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,960
ordered this stuff is also like 
very stylish and a medium. 

315
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:49,440
You're you're just going to roll
with it. 

316
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:50,280
Best. 
Yeah. 

317
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:54,000
Now when I opened it, all the 
stuff was pretty shakier and it 

318
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,000
was large, but my stuff was in 
it. 

319
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,440
But I loved. 
The fact that I. 

320
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,640
Just had all this stuff and I 
was like, I could give this 

321
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,320
purse this to this person and 
maybe I'll drop these into a 

322
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,840
charity shop that that just made
me really happy. 

323
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,240
Yeah, that is a good one. 
Sort of simple small thing like 

324
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:10,720
that. 
I get the small things. 

325
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,640
The small things kind of make me
happy, like I'd probably have a 

326
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:21,280
flat line of happiness. 
So we unexpected, unexpected 

327
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,320
things make me very happy. 
Yeah. 

328
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:29,080
And I think for me as well, it's
like just trying not to let 

329
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,760
anything trigger like me being 
sad or angry, like we all, you 

330
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,120
know, some you always get bad 
news or something, you always 

331
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:36,480
get fucked off at it or 
whatever. 

332
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:40,000
And it's like you sit back and 
go right, Well, tomorrow I'm 

333
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,160
still going to wake up and I'm 
still going to go to work and go

334
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,400
about my day because you have to
as normal. 

335
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,480
Nothing's going to stop. 
Like so like that realisation 

336
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,160
always made me think like, Oh 
well, nothing's really that 

337
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,880
massively bad in the scheme of 
things, you know when? 

338
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,720
You you probably learn 
acceptance better when you get 

339
00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:01,040
older as yes, I accept that 
you've, when you think about it,

340
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:06,400
you've so many spinning plates. 
There are so many family, work, 

341
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:10,400
health, all this. 
And it's like if if you get them

342
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,599
all the line, if you tried to 
get them all to be perfect. 

343
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:14,640
It's never going to. 
Work. 

344
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,680
You don't get anything done. 
You just have to accept that 

345
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,400
like, well, that plate's. 
Smashed. 

346
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,319
That's about to fall. 
Fuck, that's nice. 

347
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,119
Yeah. 
But I, I explained it so 

348
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,960
recently as like whack A mole. 
Yeah, that game where you like, 

349
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,280
bang all the things down and 
then another one pops up. 

350
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,400
Motivational. 
Speaker So it's the key to 

351
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:36,440
happiness you. 
Can't. 

352
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,400
You can't keep running about 
smacking that one now, because 

353
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,600
then that one pops up and you 
smack that one down and then to 

354
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,120
come up after a while, you have 
to just sort. 

355
00:17:44,120 --> 00:17:45,920
Of throw the mallet down and let
the moles. 

356
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,360
You get all the moles you're 
just looking at and you're like,

357
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,440
you just have to accept that the
moles are going to keep coming 

358
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,160
up until they actually get and I
think I'm doing OK, but all the 

359
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,800
moles will eventually come up to
the service and just eat you to 

360
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,520
death. 
No, they want you to hit them 

361
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,320
with the hammer. 
They come up and they go, you 

362
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,160
know what I mean? 
They have they're holding on at 

363
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,240
the end all they're like, come 
on, you're like, no, you have to

364
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,400
stay. 
There's no like, I think you 

365
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,240
just have to get it to a point 
where everything's all right. 

366
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:18,440
Yeah. 
That's all it is. 

367
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,200
Happiness. 
Probably, yeah. 

368
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,920
But I also think everyone just 
has that worst, just like you're

369
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,920
just making the best of the 
situation at the current time. 

370
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:26,920
You know what I mean? 
That's all. 

371
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,040
That's all you can do. 
Like the but you know. 

372
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,480
When we were doing Dad Boys, we 
had the expert Alex on. 

373
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,680
So I sent her an e-mail one day 
and she was giving us advice 

374
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,520
about the boys, advice about 
parent. 

375
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,160
And I said, look, I produced 
with these two comedians. 

376
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,320
It's like having two kids you 
have to look after. 

377
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,000
Do you have any advice for me? 
And she's like, lower your 

378
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,440
expectations. 
Is this true? 

379
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,600
Yeah. 
And have you lower expectations 

380
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,720
in life? 
You'll be happier that that. 

381
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,760
That's right though. 
That is true, yeah. 

382
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,600
That's true. 
I mean very weird. 

383
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,880
You want to do a childcare 
expert for advice on how to cope

384
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:01,480
with me and Dave? 
No. 

385
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,400
Perfectly acceptable. 
Wasn't part of the show. 

386
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,840
It was just like, explain the 
consequences of their actions to

387
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,560
them. 
Treat them, you know, reward, 

388
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:12,800
reward. 
Good work. 

389
00:19:13,120 --> 00:19:14,840
Is that why you keep giving me 
Milky buttons? 

390
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,240
Yeah. 
We gold stars in your forehead. 

391
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,160
You just spent an. 
Hour and a half on the naughty 

392
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:24,200
step before you arrived. 
But but you're right, lowering 

393
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:28,920
your you know, the way people 
people go Well, I think that's 

394
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,320
right, the lower expectations. 
But then sometimes I don't think

395
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,000
it's wrong to be like, you know,
someones like I, but this 

396
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,560
terrible thing might happen, 
like also might not. 

397
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,360
I think you just have to see how
everything goes. 

398
00:19:41,360 --> 00:19:43,080
Just see how it goes. 
Yeah, exactly. 

399
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:44,440
Just have a middle ground with 
it. 

400
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,680
Don't get too hyped up where 
you're like this is going to be 

401
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,360
so good because then it'll never
live up. 

402
00:19:48,360 --> 00:19:51,600
Because I do that with stand up 
comedy in general and work. 

403
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:56,360
I used to, me and Dave used to 
at the start of every year write

404
00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:00,320
out these goals that we had and 
looking back on them, we did 

405
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:05,280
this like 6-7 years ago. 
I've done 1% of the things that 

406
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,280
six years ago I wanted to do 
that year. 

407
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,280
Some were ludicrous and I don't 
think that's bad to do it. 

408
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:14,080
But when I didn't hit these like
goals, it was like failure, 

409
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,320
failure, failure, kind all many 
failures. 

410
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,960
So now I'm very much like. 
I don't control. 

411
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,200
There's so much that you can and
won't control. 

412
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,280
Yes, I I do, you know, it's, I 
think a good relatable example. 

413
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,480
If you ever go in for like an 
acting audition and you nail the

414
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,320
audition, like nail the lines 
and the thing, but then it just 

415
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:34,480
comes down. 
They're like, ah, you're 2 

416
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:35,520
inches too short. 
Yeah. 

417
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,000
And that's literally all it is. 
And that or sometimes it's like 

418
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,680
your hair is just a little bit 
too brown for the screen or 

419
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,640
that's I think. 
I think they're just telling. 

420
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:47,880
I think that's, I mean, that 
sounds like it's the same people

421
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:49,720
as well. 
You're 2 inches too short. 

422
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,040
OK, I can wear built up shoes. 
Your hair's too brown. 

423
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:59,560
Good highlights, yeah. 
The auditions are are exactly 

424
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:00,680
what I was going to relate that 
to. 

425
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,160
Told the story in the podcast a 
couple of times before. 

426
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,280
I love Line of Duty. 
I go in for a line of duty 

427
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:07,360
audition. 
This is right. 

428
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,800
I go especially to get because I
want it so bad. 

429
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:15,280
I go to my friend Marty McCann, 
who's, in my opinion, like, the 

430
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,880
best actor here. 
And then he, like, coaches me. 

431
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,880
And the difference in the start 
when I was like, OK, I think, 

432
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,280
and I was in a Birmingham 
accent. 

433
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,760
So I do it at the start to him. 
And he goes accents good. 

434
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,240
But you're concentrating more on
the accent than the acting, you 

435
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,920
know? 
So we spend about two hours 

436
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,520
going through it. 
And by the end I was like there 

437
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,960
is such a big difference in what
you've taught me here. 

438
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,920
Should it send it off? 
2 days later me and Dave were 

439
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,440
about to do Boy Town where it's 
like caffe near in Hollywood. 

440
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:48,320
I get a phone call from my agent
who's based up in Derry and he 

441
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:53,480
goes you've you've got, he 
phoned me and I before he said 

442
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,360
anything I went I've got the 
part and I'm saying it as a 

443
00:21:56,360 --> 00:21:58,080
joke. 
I'm saying it as a joke though, 

444
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,240
because again, when I even 
though I put the work into it, 

445
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:02,680
I'm presuming I'm not going to 
get it. 

446
00:22:03,120 --> 00:22:05,600
So I go I got the part thinking 
in front of me about something 

447
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:06,960
else. 
And he goes actually yes. 

448
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,440
I was like, Oh my God, he goes, 
I'll phone you back and get more

449
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,600
details. 
I go in De Niro, tell Dave, 

450
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:14,640
Dave's like me, That's 
unbelievable. 

451
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,920
Gives me a hug and I'm like, 
this is great, like this so 

452
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,160
good. 
I get ready to phone my wife and

453
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:25,400
mum and dad and then my agent 
phones me back and I again as I 

454
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,720
go, don't tell me there's been a
balls up hazard. 

455
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,200
Ha ha ha. 
And he's like, yeah, 

456
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,600
legitimately, that's the the 
casting director phoned the 

457
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:38,000
agent of another actor called 
Shane because the guy who got is

458
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:42,000
called Shane and he was my 
agent. 

459
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,120
Not his fault at all. 
Was so apologetic. 

460
00:22:45,120 --> 00:22:46,720
I thought he's gonna cry. 
He's like me. 

461
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,560
He's man, I'm so sorry. 
He's like, I can't believe this.

462
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:53,240
And I was like, it's fine. 
And he goes, I know you're just 

463
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:54,960
saying that. 
I was like, no, I was like, this

464
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,080
is funny. 
Like this is very funny because 

465
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,480
I enjoy my own misfortune at 
times when like no one's died, 

466
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:03,880
yes. 
You know what I mean? 

467
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,440
The Van Morrison story being a 
key example last week. 

468
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,960
Literally this day last week, So
I ran into Dave and I'm more 

469
00:23:10,360 --> 00:23:14,480
excited to tell him about what's
happened to me than I would have

470
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,040
been excited about getting the 
role. 

471
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,960
I'm more excited to for this 
story to come out of like this. 

472
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,400
Fucking balls up. 
That happened to me and I can't 

473
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,520
control what else we're going to
do, like be reagent or gutted 

474
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,640
for weeks about this. 
I was like, no, it wasn't to be.

475
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,840
I mean, the only the only 
audition I was legitimately 

476
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:37,160
like, you know, better grieve 
That was there's a movie from 

477
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,560
here about stand up. 
They filmed it like earlier this

478
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,560
year at the start of this year 
and potty keep these in it. 

479
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:46,840
And actually, yeah. 
Oh, I didn't know. 

480
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,400
It's about a stand up course, 
right? 

481
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,880
Right. 
And it's about comedy community,

482
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,160
people in a community that do a 
course in stand up comedy and 

483
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:57,440
then they put on like a 
showcase. 

484
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,240
I was asked to addition for it 
and I said, have I told you? 

485
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:06,640
Isn't it Maybe I said my agents 
like do you want to the vast if 

486
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,520
you want to. 
I mean, they ask hundreds of 

487
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,560
people, but the vast if you want
to go for this. 

488
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,520
I said yeah. 
I said do you want me to pick 

489
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,440
one of my clips and we'll send 
of media and stand up, We'll 

490
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,440
send it over. 
He goes, yeah, they're, they're 

491
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:22,120
looking for you to, to like 
audition, you know, to play a 

492
00:24:22,120 --> 00:24:25,560
part of a comedian. 
And I said, well, you know, I, I

493
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,960
already have the audition tape, 
kind of. 

494
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,720
I've got What's better than the 
audition tape? 

495
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,080
You don't my audition tape at 
the Waterfront Hall? 

496
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:34,440
Or do you want my audition tape 
at the? 

497
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,360
No, it wasn't that. 
I was saying I have this high 

498
00:24:37,360 --> 00:24:39,560
profile. 
I was actually being like, you 

499
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:43,920
can see, hear me doing stand up.
Yeah, you can also see a live 

500
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,560
audience in it. 
So, you know, it probably shows 

501
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:51,200
that I'm, I'd be pretty perfect 
for this because I am this, you 

502
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,400
know, and they were like, no, 
they want, they've written a bit

503
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,120
of stand up for the script. 
They want you to read that to a 

504
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,120
camera with no one there. 
And my argument was sort of 

505
00:25:00,120 --> 00:25:04,000
like, I know, but that's because
of COVID and we'd be doing this 

506
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,680
in the room. 
So I can show you me doing it in

507
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,840
a room. 
At the end of the day, it wasn't

508
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,280
that big and back and forth. 
I was like, no problem, I'll do 

509
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:11,440
it. 
If that's what they want, I'll 

510
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,000
do it no problem. 
And I get there and it says 

511
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:18,480
like, feel free to improvise. 
So I make my own interpretation 

512
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:22,120
of it. 
The premise of the bit is it's 

513
00:25:22,120 --> 00:25:25,840
like a bit about your DA, you 
know, it's a sort of bit I could

514
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,560
see myself doing. 
It wasn't a bad bit of stand up 

515
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,000
and I'm like, you know, going a 
bit there, pan with it then and 

516
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,280
it's fine. 
And I just didn't get the part. 

517
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,320
So that's the only addition 
where although I look at them 

518
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,480
after reflectively and go 
retrospectively and go, you 

519
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,280
know, you know, no problem, just
wasn't meant to be. 

520
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:47,200
That's where I was like, that's 
hectic. 

521
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,160
Yeah, because. 
I wasn't convincing enough of 

522
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:51,920
being me. 
Yeah. 

523
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,560
I stand up. 
Yeah, you know it. 

524
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,080
Yeah, I can understand that 
wasn't. 

525
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,800
That no, it was more excited to 
just get on the podcast and tell

526
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:02,440
the story. 
The but yeah, I. 

527
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,720
Didn't Derry girls I fucked up? 
I was going to say, if you ever 

528
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,520
like did an audition and got 
close to getting a part in 

529
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:08,640
something. 
Derry Girls. 

530
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,920
Derry girls, what was the part? 
Part was somebody that was I 

531
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,240
don't know if the if the. 
Wasn't a recurring character. 

532
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:16,600
It was like a one off. 
I don't know. 

533
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,680
It might have been, but it was a
character who, I'm not saying 

534
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,600
too much detail, someone got 
that part, but bear in mind they

535
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,880
might have just been telling me 
someone said you were like it 

536
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,360
was between you and this other 
person and he didn't get it. 

537
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:30,800
Is that always? 
That might not be true. 

538
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:32,520
That's always what they say 
though, wouldn't it? 

539
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,200
But I didn't, It was my first 
ever audition in front of the 

540
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,200
casting director, proper 
audition. 

541
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,880
And they it said about being off
book and I thought that meant 

542
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,600
you can read off the book so you
don't have to. 

543
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,320
I was like, you don't. 
Have to learn it. 

544
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,400
I was to do like, I think it was
to do accent fine with that. 

545
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,080
So I just walk in and they're 
like, do you want to start? 

546
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:59,160
And I was like, yeah. 
And then I'm like this close to 

547
00:26:59,160 --> 00:26:59,920
my. 
Face, they were like, what are 

548
00:26:59,920 --> 00:27:01,680
you doing? 
You're like I'm off book deck 

549
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,720
heads. 
Yeah, you know, they said they I

550
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,280
did it and I thought it went 
quite well. 

551
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,000
And they were like, could you 
make some eye contact with us? 

552
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,040
And I was like, well, I'd have 
to, you know, look at it. 

553
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:11,360
And then do you want me to do 
it? 

554
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,160
On book and then and then at the
end the guy goes, do you want to

555
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,440
go to Starbucks, cross the road?
They were so signed. 

556
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,200
Do you want to go and try and 
learn it and then come back, 

557
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,000
which like they didn't even have
to do. 

558
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:26,680
And I was like, OK. 
And then someone explained to me

559
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,920
days later what off book meant. 
And I was like. 

560
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:33,520
Well, I was the opposite. 
I was on book and then like 

561
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:37,200
months later somebody involved 
said if you hadn't known it you 

562
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,840
would have got it. 
But that could have just been to

563
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:40,600
make me feel better. 
But. 

564
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,280
I know sometimes it's sad. 
I've only there's one audition I

565
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,840
remember going horrendous and I 
shouldn't have even been at it. 

566
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,200
It was when I was like 23. 
It's for soul playing too. 

567
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:54,400
No, I would have got that. 
The other what's up, Snoop? 

568
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,440
The other That's how I delivered
my dialogue. 

569
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:01,880
The But yeah, it was for I was 
like 23. 

570
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,600
And I'll give him a shout out 
here, Kieran Doherty from 

571
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,640
Stellify Media fame. 
Like a production company guy 

572
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,760
that we know was like, and I 
know this guy casting for an 

573
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,600
advert, he's like, I don't know 
any details about, but it's for 

574
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,720
a comedian. 
He's like, just go down there. 

575
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,240
He's like, it's a comedy role. 
He's like, go down there, I get 

576
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,080
get you a time slot. 11:00 
whatever. 

577
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:21,720
I was like, cool. 
Yeah, I'm not doing anything 

578
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:22,920
else. 
Oh, you were 23? 

579
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:27,280
23 night. 
So keep in mind 23 like I looked

580
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,040
pretty young at 23 and maybe 
didn't have as much of A beard, 

581
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,840
probably clean shaving, like 
very, very younger looking than 

582
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:38,120
George or Hyman. 
Yes, they'll do the the Marshall

583
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,960
anyway. 
The the not for long and the I 

584
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,440
don't know what that means, but 
I so I go down to the Rock and 

585
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,880
Malone Rhoda River. 
The audition was being held and 

586
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:48,480
they hand you like a page on the
day. 

587
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,440
They're like it's an advert for 
a shopping centre. 

588
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,360
You're playing the role of a 
husband, right? 

589
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:55,720
Right. 
They're playing a role of a 

590
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,480
husband. 
And your line is yes, dear. 

591
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,200
And you just have to repeat the 
line yes, dear over and over 

592
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:02,520
again. 
And they're like, here's your 

593
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:07,360
wife and they to the room like a
40 year old lady. 

594
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,640
And I just went, I was just 
like, all right. 

595
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,040
And they filmed the audition. 
So somewhere out there, this 

596
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:15,840
tape exists. 
Oh, we have to. 

597
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:16,920
Try. 
I don't know. 

598
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,360
I don't even know what company 
was there anything? 

599
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:20,920
Yes, dear. 
Yeah, but. 

600
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:24,320
You could never, you and me 
could never call someone dear. 

601
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,680
I know I was doing different 
variations and all I was like, 

602
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:31,160
yes, dear, yes, dear, yes, dear,
as just so bad. 

603
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,760
Like I like I could, I was like,
no, but you could tell even the 

604
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:36,840
camera guy sat on the camera 
just standing there going we're 

605
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,800
wasting everyone, we're wasting.
Why don't we just tell this kid 

606
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,280
to go home like he's 23. 
He can barely, he barely got 

607
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,320
here like he's not going to have
a wife, so. 

608
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:51,640
Me and Dave auditioned for the 
one that Mickey got. 

609
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,640
Yes. 
And it was in the Europa and you

610
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,760
auditioned as a pair. 
So if you didn't know someone, 

611
00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,040
you just got paired to the 
stranger. 

612
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,120
Oh, that's interesting. 
But if you knew someone that was

613
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:03,680
wanting to this for you could go
in together. 

614
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,760
So me and Dave go in for it and 
it's an alpha heart and we're 

615
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:12,040
playing two guys that are like, 
you know, going round Northern 

616
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:13,680
Ireland looking at different 
things. 

617
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:18,240
And but we got into the room and
they said we want you to, you're

618
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,760
going to like run about the 
Giant's Causeway or something 

619
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,560
with Pints of Harp. 
So we said like, oh great. 

620
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,920
And we're looking for the Pints 
of Harp for the addition. 

621
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,280
And they went so yeah, just just
visualise the harp. 

622
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:33,960
And I looked at Dave and looked 
at them and I was like, can we 

623
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,560
get like, are we going to get 
Pints of Harp? 

624
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,520
Do you notice the theme between 
this and the last story? 

625
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:43,960
You take things too literally. 
Yeah, off book like. 

626
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,880
It's an odd for Harp, we're told
with pints Harp and we're doing 

627
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,720
it in the Europa where there are
multiple bars and I'm sure they 

628
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,280
serve Harp. 
So unrealistically. 

629
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,960
I expect to have pints of Harp 
and the guy goes just fill it 

630
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,520
out just over time. 
And I'm like, well, there's a 

631
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,800
bar there. 
If we could get those anyway, me

632
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:06,440
and Dave do it. 
And it's all like, you know, and

633
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,360
if you're acting trained and 
stuff, and maybe you haven't, 

634
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,760
like, you know, stage 
background, you'd be more 

635
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,160
comfortable doing this. 
But they're basically saying 

636
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,520
pretend you're on a Ferris 
wheel, pretend you're in a car. 

637
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,080
But. 
I can't because I just really do

638
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,080
stand up. 
It's it's me and a microphone 

639
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,880
and nothing's make believe. 
Yeah, you can't like put 

640
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:28,680
yourself in the scenario and 
just. 

641
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:33,440
No, I can't be comfortable being
like, you know, like doing that.

642
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:34,640
Like, that was pretty good, 
right? 

643
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,000
I don't know why I'm. 
Why something like go up so 

644
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:42,240
high? 
That's why I didn't get that 

645
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:48,240
citranade. 
You're just driving in a car, 

646
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,800
all right? 
It's doing yoga. 

647
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:57,200
So hey man, you want to you want
to hit the town here? 

648
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,240
You'd be the. 
Worst mime artist ever. 

649
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:10,000
So anyway, we, you know, they're
like, you know, you're running 

650
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,960
away from Finn Mccool, you're 
running down the Giants 'cause. 

651
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:14,480
You're like where is. 
He you're. 

652
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,840
Like, I know Hordor, do you want
me to get him to come in? 

653
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,080
You're on the way, these pints. 
So me and David pretend to walk 

654
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,520
about the pints and me and Dave 
take a laugh and fit journal 

655
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:24,880
because we know we're not going 
to get it. 

656
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,200
And it's like you with the shop,
etcetera. 

657
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:29,040
We know we're not going to get 
it. 

658
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,680
So we know this is a huge waste 
of everyone's time, but no one's

659
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,520
going to stop it. 
So we're there for like 15 

660
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:38,000
minutes doing all these act outs
and Dave and I are gone like in 

661
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,680
statues giggling and no one else
is laughing. 

662
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,800
So we have these fake pints of 
harp and all and you know, do 

663
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,280
cheer cheers. 
And then you know, you're, 

664
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,560
you're, you're, you know, you're
running down the West link. 

665
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,680
All this stuff goes on at the 
end of the thing. 

666
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,960
The guys are like, so guys, 
cheers, we'll be in touch. 

667
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,800
And we know they're not going to
be in touch at the end, right? 

668
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,240
Bear in mind they haven't 
laughed. 

669
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:58,920
The crew haven't laughed at 
anything. 

670
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,120
Casting team where we're from, 
England, they haven't laughed at

671
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,960
anything me and Dave have done. 
As me and Dave were walking out 

672
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:07,520
the door, we like, nodded each 
other and we went and we walked 

673
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,680
back up to them and they were 
getting ready for the next 

674
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:13,520
people coming. 
And me and Dave went, you know, 

675
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:20,360
just give me those. 
The guy's like, yeah, yeah, just

676
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:26,840
fucking set them there. 
Like oh sorry mate, that guy's 

677
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:27,720
felt a wee. 
Bit over there. 

678
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,480
Pass out the next actor. 
Sanitise up before you handle 

679
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:36,000
them, yeah. 
Sure, I'm driving, but so then. 

680
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:37,880
So then I got. 
He was like Heisel looking 

681
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,280
oh. 
Key to key to happiness? 

682
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,720
I don't know. 
It's a, it's a big, it's a, it's

683
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,000
a creative. 
Like, do you ever watch any of 

684
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,600
the motivational coaches or 
anything like that or they're 

685
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:01,720
so-called? 
Do you like there's not really, 

686
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:03,720
I remember. 
I feel bad for the people that 

687
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:07,320
get like sucked into it, like, 
you know, the seminars and stuff

688
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,360
and like. 
Yeah, I remember driving the 

689
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,600
football once and I hadn't been 
playing well. 

690
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:15,880
You've been playing well, and I 
decided to get some like 

691
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,639
motivational YouTube that RIP 
the audio from YouTube 

692
00:34:18,639 --> 00:34:21,000
motivational videos, you know, 
like building music in the 

693
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,840
background and at some retired 
US Sergeant. 

694
00:34:24,159 --> 00:34:28,239
And he's like, you wake up every
day, Yeah, knowing that you're 

695
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:32,199
going to, you might fail, but 
you still wake up, you know, 

696
00:34:32,199 --> 00:34:33,000
that sort of thing. 
Yeah. 

697
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:34,120
Like those? 
Put that in. 

698
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:37,440
Arnold Schwarzenegger gave some 
speech at a university about the

699
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:41,440
510 rules of life or something. 
I listened to this driving the 

700
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,280
Donner Park in Newcastle to play
a match. 

701
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,639
Get there fucking pumped. 
We got beat like 9 nil. 

702
00:34:46,639 --> 00:34:48,880
Like brutal. 
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's 

703
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,000
I've did that before as well. 
All that like even like 

704
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,560
motivation in real life, like if
you had like, you know, a 

705
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,400
teacher or a coach or something 
like screaming at you and trying

706
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,600
to, it doesn't really work with 
me. 

707
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,320
I like just like straight up 
normal child. 

708
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:06,880
Yes, don't change things that 
you would normally do in your 

709
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,200
daily life, because then it's 
not you. 

710
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,560
And then I wouldn't want to 
build like a reliance on that 

711
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,480
level of motivation. 
Yeah. 

712
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,560
Or like, if I didn't have a 
chance to like, listen to some 

713
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:20,280
sort of recording or watch some 
video or have a session with 

714
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:23,080
some like, motivate Motivator 
and Mr Motivator. 

715
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,440
If I miss that, then I'll be 
panicked. 

716
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:30,640
And I, I, I know I'm, I think 
I'm pretty self motivated. 

717
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,120
Yeah. 
Times where I'm not. 

718
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:35,040
Yes, but. 
By and large, I'm naturally 

719
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,440
pretty motivated to like, work 
hard and do well. 

720
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,760
Well, yeah, you've got like good
motivation in terms of like, you

721
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:41,840
know, what you want for 
yourself. 

722
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:43,200
You've your own goals and stuff 
like that thing. 

723
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,960
You also have the family to look
after, which is a motivator too,

724
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:47,480
and things like that. 
And you have your house that 

725
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:49,000
you're working on, which is a 
motivator. 

726
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,080
And we all have those little 
things, you know, and I think 

727
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:52,480
that's, that's a healthy thing 
to have. 

728
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:54,920
Motivator And then all, you 
know, I'm doing all the building

729
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:56,320
work myself. 
So you are. 

730
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:57,440
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 
Shoulders. 

731
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:00,280
Are coming in well. 
Foundations are very why do you?

732
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:02,800
I think that's just the scam. 
Foundations. 

733
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,120
Bricks below the house. 
Yeah, I know. 

734
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:06,200
Yeah, good one. 
Just. 

735
00:36:06,240 --> 00:36:08,480
You start at ground level with 
the bricks. 

736
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,880
Yeah, I think that's probably 
the best way to do. 

737
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,840
It save money, yeah, you know, 
save, save resource. 

738
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,520
The house will be fine. 
Yeah, yeah, I'm doing timber, 

739
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,360
timber frame, all timber really.
All timber frame, all wood. 

740
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:21,960
That's good. 
I would love it if a property 

741
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,640
developer for some sort of 
reality TV show paid me and you 

742
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,480
to build a house and we had a 
week to do it and a family of 

743
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,520
five. 
Oh no. 

744
00:36:29,720 --> 00:36:31,440
No experience. 
We're not allowed to bring 

745
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:33,640
anyone else in. 
We just have like a yard of 

746
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:35,320
supplies. 
I mean, you have to build them a

747
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,520
house. 
We here's what would happen. 

748
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:42,400
We would just go, we would go 
buy one of those fucking bouncy 

749
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,600
castles or something and just 
blow it up. 

750
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:46,000
No, one of those house bouncy 
castles. 

751
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,480
Cement around it, yeah. 
That would be something we would

752
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:50,480
do. 
The only DIY we've ever done was

753
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:56,040
in your office in in the old boy
town office in Hollywood. 

754
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,080
Me and you at the start of one 
of the years just decided to 

755
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:00,880
take a notion and do some DIY 
let. 

756
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,920
Me set this up. 
We used to have the boy, the 

757
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:07,520
first ever Boy Town studio that 
me and Dave had was also in 

758
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,200
Hollywood. 
Yeah, we've had three offices. 

759
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:14,200
We started in this one and it 
was you were never, you were in 

760
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:17,040
it once or twice. 
First couple of episodes of. 

761
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,120
First episodes of this, we're in
there. 

762
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:22,840
I forgot about that. 
And you can tell that like it's 

763
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:24,880
a bed. 
It was. 

764
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,080
It was rough. 
It was a you had the IT was on. 

765
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,400
You go up a fire escape around 
the back of a restaurant and 

766
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,280
cross the roof of the 
restaurant. 

767
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,600
You walk across the roof. 
Didn't feel legal. 

768
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:42,120
Well, anyway, it was it was bad,
but like we, we loved it at the 

769
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:43,600
time. 
Yeah, it had somewhere to go. 

770
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,280
It had charm. 
It was like it was his own 

771
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:45,760
thing. 
I. 

772
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,640
Mean it had charm, but also I 
would never have been in it 

773
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:53,160
alone looking for anyone also 
come on, come on around the 

774
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:54,840
studio one. 
We'll do a podcast just around 

775
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,320
the people in the street sit 
there while I work because I'm 

776
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:01,360
scared from my life. 
But but there was like a lot you

777
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,240
could have you could have done a
lot. 

778
00:38:03,240 --> 00:38:06,320
We did do a lot like we put open
windows in it because the window

779
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,320
we're just a window put open 
windows in. 

780
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:12,160
We carpeted it out. 
We kept it as tidy we bits and 

781
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:15,880
pieces, but then yeah, it was 
like the start of a year and 

782
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,520
probably that motivating thing 
where you're like, look, let's 

783
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:19,640
go into this year and do it 
right. 

784
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,960
And I said I want to I want to 
just do some improvements to it.

785
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:25,160
So I got my best man for the 
job. 

786
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:29,040
Me and the Batman took ourselves
to don't think it was IK it. 

787
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:33,000
Was a B&Q. 
We went to B&Q and spent about 

788
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:37,200
£38 on things. 
To do up a whole of us that was 

789
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,160
totally in tatters. 
I mean, you went there, me and 

790
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,200
you showed up in a pair of 
shorts and a couple of string 

791
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:45,280
vests and it was like in 
Zoolander when he goes down the 

792
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,920
the mine, you know, it's like 
you were not caught out for it. 

793
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,520
We we had all the gear and no 
idea as people would say. 

794
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:53,640
And we went in with like 
hammers. 

795
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:55,040
All this all the wrong 
equipment. 

796
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,920
And the main thing I remember 
doing is getting, you know, that

797
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:00,720
foam that expands this. 
Is what I. 

798
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:04,240
Remember, you plug up a gap by 
putting a little bit of foam, it

799
00:39:04,240 --> 00:39:10,000
opens out and you plug like gap.
And remember being so into that 

800
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,520
and getting really carried away.
And there was a, there was a 

801
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:15,080
pipe, there was like a plastic 
pipe. 

802
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:19,320
And then it was like a circular 
tube and there was a square cut 

803
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:21,440
out around it. 
And there was a few inches in 

804
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,840
all these gaps and like you 
probably should have put like 

805
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:25,680
something else around it. 
And I was like, yeah, you can 

806
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,360
use this foam. 
Yeah, bit of a, I was like, this

807
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,120
foam's a great job if you do 
anything with it. 

808
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,000
So I poured loads of it into 
this hole and I was like, I 

809
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:34,720
think that's actually that's 
done a great job and that's 

810
00:39:34,720 --> 00:39:36,680
boarded up. 
Walked back in like 2 hours 

811
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,880
later and it was like something 
from a mid 90s horror film where

812
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:43,280
things keep spawning. 
It just expanded, expanded and 

813
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,640
then it just like it took up the
whole room. 

814
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:47,000
Well, not really, but it was big
like. 

815
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,080
Yeah, and the best thing is you 
got so like trigger happy with 

816
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,640
the foam you were just like 
doing we random bits and places 

817
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:57,720
like you're just like. 
But we did no improve. 

818
00:39:57,760 --> 00:39:59,600
We technically did. 
We made it worse. 

819
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,360
Yeah, I built one table and it 
was never straight. 

820
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:04,320
That's right. 
But it was. 

821
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,240
I was proud of it. 
But yeah, that was our one bit 

822
00:40:07,240 --> 00:40:09,120
of day. 
And we did it for about 40 

823
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,760
minutes and went home. 
Oh no, I think we went and got a

824
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:13,480
really nice lunch. 
I think we're like, we'll be 

825
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,000
here for four hours. 
They're like Baron out too. 

826
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:17,520
Yeah, we want to pace ourselves 
here. 

827
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,280
We don't want to do too much 
work at once. 

828
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:25,720
I think I'm resigned to never be
in a real DIY guy. 

829
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:30,400
Our generation on unless you're 
a trades person, not like back 

830
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:32,360
My dad like knows how to do 
everything and like his 

831
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:34,400
generation would but that's. 
Good. 

832
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,920
For some stuff, it's not bad, 
but it's like my dad would be 

833
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:39,280
like, oh, you don't know 
anything. 

834
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:41,640
Well, it's like, yeah, but you 
grew up without Internet and 

835
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:43,480
YouTube and. 
Like Uber Eats? 

836
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:44,680
Me. 
Yeah. 

837
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:48,200
Yeah, your generation. 
Until like, walk to a cafe and 

838
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:48,600
that's. 
What it? 

839
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,440
Yeah, well, if I had all the 
time, the world on board is 

840
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,520
fucking, there was only four TV 
channels, I'd have probably 

841
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:54,480
fucking put a few nails in the 
wall like. 

842
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:58,640
It's such a hard roast of your 
dad. 

843
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:04,160
But it's just like he just like 
he thinks I'm useless. 

844
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:05,800
Well, I am, but like, yeah, 
yeah, yeah. 

845
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,320
But you know what I mean. 
Yeah, a whack A mole popped up 

846
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:10,560
there. 
My. 

847
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:18,520
We might stretch. 
Our generation, I don't know, 

848
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:20,120
it's like there's some good 
about it. 

849
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:22,680
I think our generation, but 
every generation probably thinks

850
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:27,320
this are like in the middle of 
our parents generation of like 

851
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:31,800
work hard, do everything 
yourself, DIY practical and then

852
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:37,880
the young generation now of like
tech talk and you know, weird 

853
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,160
fashion. 
Internet code and all that sort 

854
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,880
of stuff. 
Real life, I feel like we're the

855
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:44,520
normalist because we're in the 
middle. 

856
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:46,280
We have a wee bit of. 
That we're a bit of a hybrid. 

857
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,240
Well, we were the last 
generation that grew up without 

858
00:41:48,240 --> 00:41:49,840
the Internet. 
Yeah. 

859
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,320
Because you, you obviously 
remember being a kid, not having

860
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:53,800
the Internet. 
And this is the like, you know 

861
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:55,560
what I mean? 
So like, I think maybe when I 

862
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:58,080
was about 1314, you start 
getting like dial up and stuff. 

863
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,800
But it was like before the 
Internet, you never once were 

864
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:04,000
like, oh, I need the Internet. 
But now that you have it, you're

865
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:07,000
like, I couldn't be, yeah, your 
phone. 

866
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:08,800
You're like, oh, how can I not 
be on Instagram? 

867
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,200
You know what I mean? 
But like back in 1995, no one 

868
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,760
was like, oh. 
I remember the first time I 

869
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,680
really got on the Internet, I 
was worried at some point it 

870
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:18,600
would be taken away. 
The Internet in general I was 

871
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:19,800
like this might not stick 
around. 

872
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:21,560
You thought it was too good to 
to be. 

873
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,640
Like the Mr Internet might just 
go pull this. 

874
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:30,160
So I remember going on to the 
WWF at the time, WWE wrestling 

875
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:31,960
website. 
Oh, I did that too. 

876
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,440
The biography of every single 
wrestler. 

877
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:37,320
I'm putting it into a ring 
binder just so if I ever needed 

878
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:38,720
to pull up that information, I 
could. 

879
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,840
If I ever needed to know how 
much Al Snow weighed, I could 

880
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:43,560
look it up. 
Or if I needed to know where the

881
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:45,920
wrestler of The Godfather was 
originally from, I could just 

882
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,600
thumb it out and find out. 
You tried to print the entire 

883
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:51,400
Internet, which is such a huge 
thing. 

884
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:53,560
Crazy with printing. 
Yeah, I'm sure your dad just. 

885
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,080
Had to constantly keep buying 
ink. 

886
00:42:55,240 --> 00:43:00,800
Yeah, and then you phone me like
people don't know if you're on 

887
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:03,560
dial up and you phone someone. 
You couldn't, you couldn't be on

888
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:06,400
both at once. 
That was mad, wasn't it? 

889
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:08,640
Like when you, when you think 
back, like your mom was like, 

890
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:10,520
get off that. 
I need to phone your Aunt Tracy.

891
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,600
But do you think it'll go the 
other way where like, because 

892
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:17,600
everything is so fake now, 
almost in a way, the fact that 

893
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:20,720
everything's online, virtual 
reality, we're, you know, just 

894
00:43:20,720 --> 00:43:22,080
getting away from like real 
life. 

895
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:25,160
Do you think it might just ever?
Go the other way. 

896
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:28,280
What were we just stripped back 
and just get back to no. 

897
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:30,320
Maybe that no, you don't think 
that'll happen over lockdown? 

898
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:33,840
And get go. 
People going like nature, more 

899
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:37,040
people connect and more. 
I think there's a wee bit of 

900
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:41,600
that, but I think as more 
children, generations get older 

901
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:44,200
and stuff like that, you'll get 
this reliance, independence, 

902
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:48,520
even more so on technology. 
I have an overwhelming feeling 

903
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:54,160
of like powerlessness and like 
desperation at that, where I'm 

904
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:57,400
like, like, wait. 
Like you can't let that happen. 

905
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:58,600
Yeah, yeah. 
But you can't. 

906
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,120
But like, you can't stop. 
But it's like a snowball that's 

907
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:04,320
just going downhill constantly. 
Like the next stage is just 

908
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:07,520
going to be virtual, virtual 
realities and like augmented 

909
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:10,640
reality and things you're 
seeing, like you'll go into your

910
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,040
shop and stuff. 
All the prices will pop up out 

911
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:15,040
of the holograms and say it'll 
be just. 

912
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:19,280
Will you be wearing glasses? 
For it first, I mean, I don't 

913
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:22,320
know what way it'll develop, but
I have no idea Look. 

914
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:25,080
What do you mean? 
You go in the shop and you see 

915
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:26,120
the price? 
You can do that now. 

916
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,400
Yeah, but it's not on a. 
It's like a virtual tag or 

917
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:31,000
something like that. 
There you'll have advertised 

918
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:34,120
like window screens. 
What if you go into a room 

919
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:36,400
that's empty but when you put 
these goggles? 

920
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:39,560
On that's what it'll be. 
You'll be able to shop like 

921
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:40,800
that. 
You'll be able to do. 

922
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:42,960
You think you would go over and 
like? 

923
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,520
What try grab the T-shirt? 
Try an on mall do. 

924
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:48,000
Would you think you just like do
like a thing to it? 

925
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,800
Well, that's the other thing. 
We'll we'll yeah, we'll do. 

926
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:53,640
You know what? 
I think you just. 

927
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:56,040
Think I would like will we even 
be talking to each other or will

928
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:57,840
we just look at each other? 
Do you want, I think would still

929
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:00,120
be a nice touch, a wee virtual 
reality trolley you have to put 

930
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:03,000
a wee virtual pound into? 
I think that would be a nice 

931
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:04,680
touch. 
You just don't stuff like that, 

932
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,080
Yeah, You want to ask? 
I want, I don't want to let go 

933
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:08,400
of. 
The the way it used to be, but I

934
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:10,160
knew. 
I think I'm having that feeling 

935
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:11,720
like I don't want to let go of 
the past. 

936
00:45:11,720 --> 00:45:12,960
That's how you know you're 
getting older. 

937
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:15,560
You think so I think it's a sign
of it, yeah. 

938
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,880
Where you're start looking back,
going on remember back in blah, 

939
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:21,040
blah, blah. 
But like, it's even when even 

940
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:23,560
when you notice people, like I 
always notice of people when a 

941
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:26,040
new app comes along. 
Like it's like the dad thing 

942
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:29,640
where it's like tech talk comes 
along and a bunch of boys go, I 

943
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:31,640
don't know if I can tech tax, 
that's for kids and all. 

944
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:34,400
But then what you don't realise 
is the app is literally passing 

945
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:37,560
you by and you're missing the 
opportunity to get on it and do 

946
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:38,480
something. 
You know what I mean? 

947
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:41,320
Even though it might feel like, 
oh, it's a bit of a young person

948
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:44,600
saying too old frat and I blah, 
blah, blah, it's just another 

949
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:47,160
fucking thing. 
Like, it's like, it's like the 

950
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,640
Internet in early days, but it's
a different form of it, you 

951
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:52,960
know? 
I think I'm close to just being 

952
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:55,800
where I'm at, Yeah. 
And letting like, I think after 

953
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:59,720
a while you have to stop 
fighting the the tide and the 

954
00:45:59,720 --> 00:46:03,120
waves and you have to just lie 
down on the beach and that'll 

955
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:06,360
cover you. 
And after a while that this is 

956
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:08,160
not like life. 
I'm talking about technology and

957
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:08,840
stuff. 
Yeah. 

958
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:12,720
I mean, I think, you know, you 
try like, you know, you're on 

959
00:46:12,720 --> 00:46:15,440
some Instagram, you know, yeah, 
you're using this and yeah, 

960
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:17,480
TikTok. 
But I think whatever comes after

961
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:18,400
TikTok. 
You're done. 

962
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:20,200
I'll be able to do. 
That's what I mean. 

963
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:23,200
I'll have to just lie down on 
the sea bed and let the water 

964
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:24,840
come over me. 
But I think when you let the 

965
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:27,640
water come over you, by the way,
if this was isolated as a clip, 

966
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:30,920
this could be taken so badly. 
I think eventually when you let 

967
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:33,960
the water just come over you, 
you just feel like it'll feel 

968
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,040
really calm. 
I think it'll feel. 

969
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:38,280
Sounds like you're drowning and 
Butler's surfing the wave. 

970
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:40,040
I'm I'm surfing the wave. 
He's. 

971
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:44,240
Surfing, he's up there. 
He's a 78 year old surfer, hell 

972
00:46:44,240 --> 00:46:45,720
of longer. 
But what I'm saying is he'll 

973
00:46:45,720 --> 00:46:47,600
look weird eventually up on that
surfboard. 

974
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:50,120
I mean, you say eventually. 
So your mates will be down like 

975
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:53,480
me in the sea bed, dead, just 
lying there like dead jellyfish.

976
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:55,040
And I'm surfing with a bunch of 
young lads. 

977
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:59,600
Here. 
See when I was in Donegal 

978
00:46:59,960 --> 00:47:03,600
there's jellyfish all over and I
heard someone in the bar saying 

979
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:05,600
of its things. 
It's just like a nettle sting or

980
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:07,840
a bee sting. 
I thought if it stung you near 

981
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:09,240
dial. 
No, you don't near die. 

982
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:11,560
No, there's lots of. 
Different ones, but do you ever 

983
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:13,080
stung my jellyfish? 
Yeah, yeah, loads of times. 

984
00:47:13,240 --> 00:47:15,120
Generous, just like Nettle 
Stinger. 

985
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:19,960
Oh, you're. 
It sounds like you're actively 

986
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:22,400
going out to just try. 
And yeah, he's, he's standing in

987
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:23,040
them and all. 
Yeah. 

988
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:27,800
Just sitting on the beach with 
two jellyfish and out of food. 

989
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:31,160
I think. 
I think see if I hadn't to find 

990
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:33,960
that out, say I went for like a 
swim by myself, like when the 

991
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,160
baby was down to bed. 
If I was like because the beach 

992
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:38,280
was just there. 
Oh, for we nighttime swim. 

993
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:41,560
If I was by myself and didn't 
hear that, that it was just like

994
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:44,280
another thing and got stung by a
jellyfish, I probably would have

995
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:47,720
died of panic in the water. 
I would never have made it out 

996
00:47:47,720 --> 00:47:50,200
of the water. 
I'd just, I'd just have the 

997
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:52,640
real, like we've said about 
lying on the seabed, I would 

998
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:54,880
have done that in real life. 
But like, there's no point in me

999
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:57,320
fighting this and I would have 
just been washed up. 

1000
00:47:57,360 --> 00:47:59,840
Isn't it true you just piss on 
it to get this thing to go away,

1001
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:02,320
don't you? 
No, yeah. 

1002
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:05,280
That's the theory is that it's 
like alkaline and acid and it 

1003
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:07,280
just neutralises. 
It so someone pisses on your 

1004
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:08,320
leg. 
It gets this thing out of. 

1005
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:12,320
It BR Kelly was just. 
Pounding jellyfish stung your 

1006
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:14,280
face again. 
No, it didn't shut up. 

1007
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:18,600
It's landlocked around here bro.
You're like, no, we're in 

1008
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:25,280
Atlanta. 
There's no this has a fish tank 

1009
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:27,160
full of jellyfish. 
Do you want to see it? 

1010
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:32,440
Get your face right up, dude. 
Why it's stinging on top of the 

1011
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:41,320
head we don't want to have. 
Oh, buzz there. 

1012
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:43,800
Any deep life questions you want
to throw out or you want to you 

1013
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:48,320
want to explore? 
Because we're under the current 

1014
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:49,840
at the minute and it's nice. 
It's nice under. 

1015
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:56,200
What when you're when you're 65?
Yep. 

1016
00:48:57,040 --> 00:48:59,280
What do you think it is? 
You'll look back on and just 

1017
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:02,720
reminisce about or what'll be 
like a memory or what'll be like

1018
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:05,280
a nostalgic thing. 
You'll just sit back and you'll 

1019
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:07,960
be just proud over You'll have 
some a feeling come over you. 

1020
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:12,280
I'll tell, tell you, like, I'll 
start it off. 

1021
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:17,440
I have like really fond memories
of performing in the Grand Opera

1022
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:19,880
House. 
And I think just looking back on

1023
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:22,600
it at the time, I might not have
like, I enjoyed it at the time, 

1024
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:26,120
but as I get older, I can 
appreciate it so much more 

1025
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:28,840
because the Opera House has like
real history to it and like 

1026
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:31,360
shows. 
It's been around for such a such

1027
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:33,960
an establishment to be able to 
say you did like a show went and

1028
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:34,560
stuff like that. 
Did you? 

1029
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:37,200
Go there as a kid, yeah. 
With your school you go see a 

1030
00:49:37,240 --> 00:49:39,680
panto or whatever. 
Yeah, and at the time, people 

1031
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:41,400
were like, to me, they were 
like, like, take this and 

1032
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:43,160
appreciate it. 
I don't think it did as much as 

1033
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:46,000
I should have because I was sort
of just like having fun or 

1034
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:49,560
whatever. 
But the but yeah, looking back, 

1035
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:52,120
whenever you just look out into 
the the audience, it's like, 

1036
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:55,040
wow, this is this is a special 
feeling, You know, I. 

1037
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:59,560
Think I appreciate everything 
but probably don't spend a lot 

1038
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:03,320
of time comprehending the scale 
of it, if that makes sense. 

1039
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:07,360
Yeah, because you're in it. 
Like I get it and I'm in it, but

1040
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:09,800
then sometimes feel like I don't
really have time and I've got to

1041
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:14,320
think of the next thing. 
Not at a like my mind doesn't 

1042
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:17,840
work too fast. 
Certainly doesn't. 

1043
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:21,440
It's not like Turbo mind where 
I'm like, you know, like Kanye 

1044
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,360
West, like already thinking like
10 projects ahead. 

1045
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:27,520
But if I do like the waterfront 
or whatever, I'm thinking about 

1046
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:29,320
what's next year. 
What can I learn from what's 

1047
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:31,440
next year show? 
But it's very rare. 

1048
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:35,800
I would take a step back and go,
I can't believe I did that, like

1049
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:37,480
that happened. 
I think the thing I would 

1050
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:41,880
probably look back on and be 
really proud and happy about is 

1051
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:48,200
the fact that there was a large 
amount of people that supported 

1052
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:50,800
me doing the thing I love doing 
the most. 

1053
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:52,760
Yeah, that makes sense. 
Yeah, that's that. 

1054
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:55,480
There was people that like. 
Investors. 

1055
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:58,440
Have come to more than one show.
People have come to all the 

1056
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:04,000
shows and you're like, it's 
like, like having, it's like 

1057
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:06,360
having fans, it's like. 
Yeah. 

1058
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:08,520
It's something that had enough 
of an impact. 

1059
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:12,280
Yeah, think you got her. 
Like as we get older too, you 

1060
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:14,240
realise how more valuable time 
is. 

1061
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:19,480
And like, so, so do then think, 
oh, someone has taken loads of 

1062
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:22,160
time out of their time to see me
do what? 

1063
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:25,800
You know what I mean on money, 
like I think, but even the 

1064
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:28,440
money's not even the big one, 
like it's the time because like 

1065
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:31,280
someone has literally booked a 
babysitter, went out for a 

1066
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:34,120
drink, spent 4 hours of the 
night just dedicated to going to

1067
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:35,520
see your show. 
That's a night they could have 

1068
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:37,040
did something else, they could 
have sat in the house, they 

1069
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:38,680
could have saved money or 
whatever. 

1070
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:42,680
But yeah, I think it's a good. 
I don't think I spend a lot of 

1071
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:47,000
time thinking about that in a 
scale way or. 

1072
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:50,120
But you're on the journey to 
still like when you think it 

1073
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:52,360
like they always say that it's 
like it is about like the 

1074
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:55,080
journey is the part of it that 
you don't really take time to 

1075
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:56,880
reflect on. 
But like when you eventually 

1076
00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:59,560
settle down with it, you'll 
you'll remember the little times

1077
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:02,280
like when we met at Nando's at 
5:00 one day and Flippin 

1078
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:05,360
couldn't get a table or when we 
went to this venue that had like

1079
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:07,080
you'll always remember those 
little quirky things that 

1080
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:07,600
happened you. 
Know. 

1081
00:52:07,720 --> 00:52:09,800
Yeah, yeah. 
I think those will always come 

1082
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:11,800
flooding back whenever things 
eventually. 

1083
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:15,400
And I think that when you do 
take it all in, in a certain way

1084
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:18,840
and if you do overthink it and 
think that can be the time that 

1085
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:21,120
you almost get a bit steel. 
At the thing. 

1086
00:52:21,240 --> 00:52:26,560
Yeah, you know, if you if you, I
think if you spend a lot of time

1087
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:32,120
long and for like the time where
it was at its best or something,

1088
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:36,800
I don't know. 
I'm very like, I just love doing

1089
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:44,720
it so much that I don't really 
stop too often because I, I, I 

1090
00:52:44,720 --> 00:52:49,320
don't want the whole, I don't 
want to slow down or something, 

1091
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:51,480
if that makes sense. 
Yeah, I get that. 

1092
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:55,000
What do you think in like 10 do 
I I would love to just be able 

1093
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:57,080
to have like a flight. 
I would love to fly forward to 

1094
00:52:57,080 --> 00:52:59,960
10 years time. 
I would not not like I don't I 

1095
00:52:59,960 --> 00:53:04,640
don't mean like I mean just just
a peak, just a peak I want. 

1096
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:07,720
Here's what I want to peak of. 
I would love to see a peak of 

1097
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:11,480
who's doing stand up, not from 
our sort of crowd or whatever, 

1098
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:14,120
but like who's the new guys? 
Who's the who's like the 12 year

1099
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:16,480
old nice sitting in the house 
watching this podcast going in 

1100
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:18,280
eight years time. 
I want to be a gay. 

1101
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:21,000
Like that's the sort of jet. 
I want to see those guys come 

1102
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:22,520
through. 
Like there's something exciting 

1103
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:25,440
to me about that. 
I wouldn't take a glimpse in the

1104
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:26,520
future at all. 
Would you? 

1105
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:28,920
Really. 
Never. 

1106
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:31,560
See, I've got too. 
I've got too much of it and I 

1107
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:34,040
would love to see that. 
I would love to see 100 years in

1108
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:35,560
the future. 
I would like, I want like I'm 

1109
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:38,440
one of these people that like, 
go ahead, a. 100 years is 

1110
00:53:38,440 --> 00:53:39,920
different, but. 
Suppose because. 

1111
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:42,680
It's not personal. 
Suppose, well, can't. 

1112
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:45,120
One could be your personal 
situation 10 years from now or 

1113
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:48,560
even the world, and you see 
something horrific then but 

1114
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:50,240
can't change it. 
You're going to be like, yeah, 

1115
00:53:50,240 --> 00:53:53,640
because then you might try and 
change it and that's when that 

1116
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:54,920
thing happens. 
That's what causes it. 

1117
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:59,240
Well, here's let's say in my 
reality, we you get a glimpse 

1118
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:02,040
and then you get men in black 
like men to raise right away. 

1119
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:03,840
So you don't, you don't know 
what happens. 

1120
00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:06,560
No, I still. 
Not you still wouldn't the the 

1121
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:10,240
but yeah, I would like I'm one 
of these people that like I 

1122
00:54:10,240 --> 00:54:13,400
would I would love to just 
fucking live forever just to see

1123
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:15,920
what happens. 
Well, I say I. 

1124
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:20,440
Wouldn't you definitely have 
that thing probably with family 

1125
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:27,560
where it it will all go on in a 
way, if you know what I mean. 

1126
00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:31,840
Like you do have to like check 
out hopefully when you're very 

1127
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:38,440
old, but it's the fact that fun 
stuff will still be happening 

1128
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:40,400
with the people that you kind of
know. 

1129
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:42,120
Yeah. 
If you know what I mean, like 

1130
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:44,040
your job. 
Well, not not your job. 

1131
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:47,000
That's totally wrong. 
In my situation. 

1132
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:50,160
Now I'm just teeing it up for 
the next generation. 

1133
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:53,480
Yes, I'm getting it all in 
place, making sure that it 

1134
00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:55,640
carries on in the best possible 
way. 

1135
00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:58,880
But then it will be difficult 
to. 

1136
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:03,360
And then I'm all about like, you
know, circle of life, like I 

1137
00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:07,480
love all that kind of stuff. 
That's why with like deaths in 

1138
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:09,880
the family and stuff as 
difficult and terrible as they 

1139
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:14,440
are, then you know there's a 
baby born six months later or 

1140
00:55:14,440 --> 00:55:18,680
something, you go, right, That's
kind of the universe in a way. 

1141
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:22,080
That's that's that is when it 
all boils down to it. 

1142
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:27,400
Like, yeah. 
But what I mean is I I don't. 

1143
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:29,760
I wouldn't want to be around 
forever at all. 

1144
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:33,520
But I think but then our 
attitudes even change a bit 

1145
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:35,760
where you're like, you know, you
let things go a bit more, you 

1146
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:37,320
start getting worried about 
time. 

1147
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:41,640
But then probably when you're 
very old as well, you'd be less 

1148
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:44,840
afraid of like passing on and 
all that sort of stuff. 

1149
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:47,000
And you go. 
I've had the time. 

1150
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:50,280
Yeah, I mean, I'm sure, I'm sure
there is like like even when I 

1151
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:52,920
talk to like my granny and stuff
like that, she has like this 

1152
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:56,120
like it's almost like an 
ambience about her where it's 

1153
00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:59,240
just like like I've lived, like 
I'm just, I'm just here now 

1154
00:55:59,240 --> 00:56:02,240
enjoying the final, final 
chapter and it's all good. 

1155
00:56:02,240 --> 00:56:04,240
Well, I have a. 
Thing of like if I'm on a plane 

1156
00:56:04,240 --> 00:56:07,720
and there's tour this maybe a 
mad thing or maybe people go or 

1157
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:10,360
a load of people do that. 
If I'm on a plane and there's 

1158
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:15,240
real bad turbulence, my first 
very calm thought is, well, if 

1159
00:56:15,240 --> 00:56:19,680
this is it and I can control 
this, it's been, it's been class

1160
00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:23,400
only if it was like a disaster 
or something I couldn't control 

1161
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:27,080
if you know, like I would hate 
it, but I think I'd be able to. 

1162
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:29,320
You won't know till you're in 
the situation. 

1163
00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:32,200
But I think what I mean is I'd 
be like, you know what it's 

1164
00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:36,560
been, It's been great. 
That's I was in a plane once and

1165
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:38,760
all right. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

1166
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:42,360
Drop that in there. 
Just want to say that shout out 

1167
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:47,800
to British Airways. 
Yeah, I and a situation having 

1168
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:51,280
turbulence like, but it was 
turbulence to an extent where 

1169
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:56,400
like everyone on the plane felt 
the plane do a drop and the 

1170
00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:59,560
noise I heard whenever it 
dropped from people's people's 

1171
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:02,640
reaction would I can still do 
that. 

1172
00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:04,560
I can still feel it. 
I can feel it right now. 

1173
00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:08,240
I like it was like literally it 
was like women going like this, 

1174
00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:11,080
this gasp and like everyone did 
it. 

1175
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:14,560
It wasn't just like one person. 
It was like the whole plane and 

1176
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:17,200
I was like, and it freaked me 
out and stuff too. 

1177
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:19,520
But then like so that like 
whenever you're saying about 

1178
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:21,680
like, oh, I think I would feel 
like, well, this is it, blah, 

1179
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:23,120
blah. 
I think I would be the tool. 

1180
00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:26,600
I think I would fucking just 
freak this shit out. 

1181
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:29,160
Yeah, it's it's hard to tell. 
It's easier to say that and I'm 

1182
00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:31,880
like, you know, maybe if there 
are a wee bit more terms, I 

1183
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:34,480
would burst in tears and scream.
But what I mean is there was 

1184
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:36,880
just a moment where I was like. 
Well, you had a moment. 

1185
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:38,800
Yeah. 
Where I was like, I want to live

1186
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:42,240
till I'm very old, you know, bet
like a very old. 

1187
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:44,320
Happy man. 
We'll be doing this at 100. 

1188
00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:47,680
Oh. 
Easy, I'll be 100 talking about 

1189
00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:52,040
the Manscape lawnmower 28.0. 
Yeah, the one that gets out of 

1190
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:56,920
your big droopy balls I. 
Mean the the battery life on 

1191
00:57:56,920 --> 00:57:58,880
these are really long and it's 
wireless charging, but I'll 

1192
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:00,880
still need 6 charges to get the 
ball, sort of. 

1193
00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:04,080
You'll be, it'll be, you'll be 
on your 5th circumcision. 

1194
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:07,560
It'll be like that time of year 
again. 

1195
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:11,600
I would. 
Love to be an org. 

1196
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:15,120
I think a podcast is a great, 
you know, performers and 

1197
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:16,600
comedians especially get these 
certain aides. 

1198
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:20,160
They go going to retire from 
stand up on stage stuff because,

1199
00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:22,200
you know, I feel like it 
shouldn't be done. 

1200
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:25,040
Podcast is probably the medium 
where I go. 

1201
00:58:25,240 --> 00:58:26,680
You should still be doing that 
though. 

1202
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:29,000
Yeah, try think. 
Is there any like, old, old or 

1203
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:32,080
Larry King like in terms of like
he was old when he was doing 

1204
00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:33,520
this whole interview radio 
thing? 

1205
00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:36,120
Letterman, I'm sure could do it,
would do a brilliant podcast. 

1206
00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:37,520
Well, he still does the Netflix 
show. 

1207
00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:39,080
So what I mean is he could do a 
podcast. 

1208
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:40,560
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 
yeah. 

1209
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:42,360
I think it's a. 
Great outlet people podcast. 

1210
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:47,360
I just the glamorised. 
On Netflix is 10 out of 10. 

1211
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:49,520
I've been meaning to watch it. 
I've been meaning to watch it 

1212
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:52,760
for a long time. 
And Tommy Tiernans RT show or 

1213
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:54,960
two of the best sit down chat 
shows. 

1214
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:56,600
Yeah, they're very good. 
That I like. 

1215
00:58:56,600 --> 00:59:00,400
I think I have to wrap it there 
because I need to pee so bad. 

1216
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:03,600
OK, I need to pee so bad. 
We've got a couple of whack 

1217
00:59:03,600 --> 00:59:05,280
moles come up. 
I think we'll take care of 

1218
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:08,760
those. 
But but this, this was, this was

1219
00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:10,240
awful. 
This was the most enjoyable 

1220
00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:12,680
podcast I've ever done. 
Good fun, Good fun, light 

1221
00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:14,480
entertainment. 
Especially because what we were 

1222
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:18,360
going to do is look at like tech
talk and YouTube videos and 

1223
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:20,800
analyse them. 
We were literally going to do 

1224
00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:23,480
the opposite of this. 
But we will do that next week. 

1225
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:28,840
We will do that, yeah. 
We're like, man, what is after 

1226
00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:30,320
death? 
I'm like, hold on, I'm just 

1227
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:32,560
going to show you this video of 
a guy saying you fucking love 

1228
00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:34,880
your McDonald's. 
Yeah, play this and the next 

1229
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:38,280
week's podcast beside each other
and just let us know the two 

1230
00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:39,160
different persons. 
Let's. 

1231
00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:41,600
Balance this out next week with 
with weirdness, just filth. 

1232
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:43,200
Yeah, OK All right, brother. 
Hey your. 

1233
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:45,480
Pleasure. 
Thanks. 

1234
00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:49,040
This was a triangle of feelings 
here and let's just stay in it 

1235
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:51,000
for a little bit longer after 
the podcast ends. 

1236
00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:53,760
Actually, I need to share my 
pubes as to that patreon.com/T 

1237
00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:56,120
with me podcast that made it 
sound like I'm going to trim my 

1238
00:59:56,120 --> 00:59:59,120
pubes live on patreon.com/T with
me podcast. 

1239
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:01,760
I'm not. 
Yes, unless we can maybe get to 

1240
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:04,280
your thoughts, in which case I 
might, but you'll just be able 

1241
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:05,880
to see my face. 
You'll not be able to see 

1242
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:07,000
anything. 
It's weirder. 

1243
01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:10,560
Yeah, because then the NHS, we 
subscribe people trying to get 

1244
01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:11,120
circumcision.
