Save big on prime big deal days 4 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:26,520 October 8th and 9th. Zippers, welcome to this episode 5 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:31,080 of the TS Me Podcast with me, the solo money told himself she 6 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,200 and Todd. I think I've worked out how to 7 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,880 look in the webcam and not backup myself through the 8 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,240 laptop, which is a very old guy thing to do to be looking at 9 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,240 yourself through the wrong viewfinder. 10 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,160 I think I've figured that out. It's a good time. 11 00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:47,680 I'm wearing shorts. You know, it's mid-october in 12 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,040 November. Am I still going to be wearing 13 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:50,240 shorts? More than likely. 14 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,160 And I'll tell you what. See, the closer it gets to 15 00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:56,040 Christmas, my shorts are only getting shorter to to the point 16 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,600 where I will be walking down Royal Ave in just a pair of 17 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,280 white fronts and AT shirt, but the T-shirt will be hanging down 18 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:03,760 over the white front. So a lot of people will be like 19 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,720 that man, something wrong with him because he's not wearing any 20 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,800 pants, but I am. It's just a very small pants. 21 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,720 So how's everyone's week going? How's your week going mate? 22 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,240 Do people even say that anymore? Do people ask people how they 23 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:17,800 are anymore? Do people say like oh, what are 24 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,240 you at this weekend? Or do we all just take it that 25 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,320 everyone's like, yeah, still still the same thing, mate? 26 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,600 Yeah, still doing all the same things? 27 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,120 Yep. You know, is the weekend thing 28 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:29,840 anymore? Will the weekend ever be a thing 29 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,600 anymore? Or whenever all the pubs open up 30 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,360 again because now they've closed for a while, you know, are they, 31 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,600 is it just going to die out? Is the hospitality industry just 32 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,560 going to die out? I don't know. 33 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,680 And will only Witherspoon survive, you know, some sort of 34 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,280 big massive chain? Don't know. 35 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,160 I tell you what, I was drinking one for one day and a stag do in 36 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,880 a Cardiff Witherspoons and and it was unreal. 37 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,360 It was really good because one of the guys we were away with 38 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,400 made the mistake of saying he had the Wetherspoons up so he 39 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,840 could buy drinks and they bring it up like table service. 40 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,640 And then because he was already a little bit tipsy, everybody 41 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,800 was going here, made sure how it works again and he kept just 42 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,600 ordering rounds on it to prove that it worked. 43 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,720 And then no one else paid for drinks and it was a lot of fun. 44 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:19,800 It was a lot of fun. I was supposed to have a show. 45 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,520 I, I think I said last week I was maybe going to be announcing 46 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,200 some more shows soon and I thought I was, but obviously now 47 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,880 I'm not going to be able to. We're supposed to do a show on 48 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:32,000 the 23rd of October, but that is that's obviously not happening. 49 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,760 I don't know, man. I don't know about the fact 50 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,920 that, you know, bars and and nightclubs that will not my 51 00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:44,240 clothes, but like bars where I do my shows are closing because 52 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,320 they're they're doing this like what is it called? 53 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,920 Circuit breaker. Now circuit breaker sounds like 54 00:02:48,920 --> 00:02:50,800 a round on gladiators back in the day. 55 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,840 Gladiators ready circuit breaker, but it's not. 56 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,080 It's basically where they're like, listen, no one is really 57 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,400 getting COVID and pubs, so let's close all those. 58 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,200 I don't know. I'm not saying they're not 59 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,720 getting it there. I just think then why are we 60 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,520 still able to do all these other things? 61 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,960 If you're going to do it, do it. If you're not, then don't, but 62 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,960 you are crippling the hospitality industry, you know, 63 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,400 because it when this is all over, you know, COVID, whenever 64 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,160 COVID is like done and everyone say, I can't wait to wait for a 65 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,040 big party, a big drink. Hey, where are you going to do 66 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:26,040 that? Because you're going to have to 67 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,000 do it in your in your front garden because there's going to 68 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,000 be no bars. I don't know. 69 00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:33,360 I don't know. You see, I've never really been 70 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,600 like, I'm not really a drinker. I'm not really someone who goes 71 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,160 out that often. But now that I can't, I'm like, 72 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,120 I really want to do that so bad. It's like kicking someone on 73 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:46,080 the, you know, train tracks. You know, I know I'm not allowed 74 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,840 to do it, but that doesn't mean there haven't been times where 75 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,480 I'm walking along a railway track and someone's quite close 76 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,880 to the yellow line and I would love to drop kick them onto the 77 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,000 tracks. And that's not even like, even 78 00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,720 if I don't know the person, especially if I don't know the, 79 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,280 what I'm saying is sometime before I die, I would like to 80 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:04,640 kick someone in front of a train. 81 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,440 I think, I think we all have thought that and there's a lot 82 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,320 of things that we all think but we don't say. 83 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,440 I think we should start sending them and the podcast is a place 84 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:21,760 to do it because you know, the more I've I've thought about 85 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,160 podcasts and stuff and I went and did Colin Gettis's podcast 86 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:26,760 today. We recorded the episode today, 87 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,200 the general banter podcast. The more, the more I've thought 88 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,920 about podcasts, the more I'm like, and I know this is not a 89 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:38,920 revolutionary thought, but podcasts are, are up there with 90 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,040 the best mediums. Whenever you're a comedian, you 91 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,400 know, you just, you just ramble. You just, I mean, you sometimes 92 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,040 you do a ramble and pocket, I mean a ramble and comedy podcast 93 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,280 where you go at hill walking, but banter. 94 00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:56,960 But I don't know, it's like, I think podcasts are one of the 95 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,400 last places where you can just be yourself, you know, and on 96 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,200 the TV podcast, we just drink tea and we just say what we want 97 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:09,000 to say, you know, and we, it's, it's great to have freedom, you 98 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,480 know, on, on a podcast and be able to talk about whatever you 99 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,080 want to talk about, express your way in whatever way you want to 100 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:20,040 express yourself. So the POG we chatted on the by 101 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,880 the way, I'll get into some things in a minute, but I'm just 102 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,240 doing general chat at the start. I don't know why I said that. 103 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:32,600 Like user assessing me doing this podcast whenever I whenever 104 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,280 I was doing my driving test. I was 20 with them my 21st 105 00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:38,080 birthday. The guy who was the assessor was 106 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,480 going to Egypt on holiday later that day. 107 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,920 You were getting like a later, later afternoon flight out of 108 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:47,560 Belfast and he was definitely in holiday mode because I've I did 109 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,560 lose it. I wrote the car off and he's 110 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,640 like, don't worry about it, don't worry about it. 111 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,440 Cairo, here we come. I don't really know what I was 112 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,400 saying there. But I do know this on last 113 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,520 week's episode, a lot of people have been messaging me with 114 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,600 Victorian slang because we obviously talked about, you 115 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,760 know, weird Victorian words that people, you know, butter upon 116 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,680 bacon. Someone said to me, I can't 117 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,080 remember what it was, but this week someone said to me, that's 118 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,240 butter upon bacon and used a perfect example of what I said 119 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,000 in the podcast multiple times. And then when they said it in 120 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,680 real life, I didn't know what they were talking about. 121 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,920 And I just laughed, like, I don't know what you're saying. 122 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:24,920 And then they picked up on that because they were like, oh, it's 123 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,120 just you said it in your podcast. 124 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:27,200 And I had to go, yeah, that's right. 125 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,600 And the joke was totally lost. But but yeah, I don't know 126 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,960 what's happening with gigs. And I I hope that this circuit 127 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:40,120 breaker thing is effective. I hope it does what it needs to. 128 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,800 And then after this four weeks, we can responsibly open open 129 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:49,200 bars and performance basis again and just get back to get back to 130 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,880 doing stand up. Because that period where I was 131 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,440 able to gig again was honestly like the best time of my stand 132 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,000 up career because stand up and gone away for so long. 133 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,720 And then it was just the, the, the feeling of being back was 134 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,720 just the best ever. You know, when you had, you have 135 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,440 something taken away, you're so keen to, you're so keen to get 136 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,440 it back. Hang on, let me take a sip of 137 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:18,320 tea, delicious tea before we move on with the podcast. 138 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,760 I'm really kind of get into it because it's been a really long 139 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,160 open and preamble. Let me plug the Patreon this 140 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,080 Sunday night. We are doing the the second ever 141 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,560 live episode of Tea with Me. It's done over Zoom. 142 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,360 If you're a Patreon supporter, you get a link. 143 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,240 You get a link and like a private thing that only you can 144 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:41,400 see, you click into it.

So I, I had three guests last 148 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:55,800 time. I've got 2 guests this time. 149 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,000 Because what I'm going to do at the end is just get some of the 150 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,720 zippers on that are watching and, and interview them and not 151 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,440 even not interview them. It's not going to be that 152 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,160 formal, but I'm just going to shoot the breeze with them. 153 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,640 Ideally, everybody watching has a cup of tea and we just we 154 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,200 hopefully escape the madness for a little bit of time on Sunday 155 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,920 night. So yeah, producer Dan Magic 156 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,520 still linked to people. I don't know how it works, but 157 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,000 Patreon is a way where where you sort of support the podcast, 158 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,240 where you get more content. You don't just support the 159 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,640 podcast, you hopefully get your money's worth as well because 160 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,080 you get every Monday a bonus podcast. 161 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,280 You get the live episodes on my stand up special from last 162 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:39,360 year's on there as well. So it's a it's an it's an NTAAR. 163 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,480 It's a nice time all round, a nice time all round. 164 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,320 I've loads of questions this week. 165 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:50,240 So what I'm going to do is ever so slightly shorter podcast, but 166 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,640 I'm going to focus a little bit more on listeners questions and 167 00:08:53,640 --> 00:09:00,480 topics from from you guys. I should point out last week, 168 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,560 you know, sometimes things can be taken very seriously on a 169 00:09:02,560 --> 00:09:05,520 podcast and kind of need addressed. 170 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:11,120 You know, to people who last week were like the when you were 171 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,080 talking about the Tory government and, you know, you 172 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,880 were just saying about how great a job they were doing and and, 173 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,040 you know, really, really backing them up. 174 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:24,240 Was that serious, guys? Yes, it was. 175 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,320 I just want to say from, from Bojo down. 176 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:32,880 Killing it, 100% killing it. You know, I think their, I think 177 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:38,880 their advice is straightforward. I think that if I got to vote in 178 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:44,760 England, like English elections, it would be it'd be Tory. 179 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:47,960 I was trying to think of a rhyme there and I couldn't. 180 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:48,760 But yeah. Busy. 181 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,360 Yeah, But what? No, of course I wasn't serious. 182 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,520 Right. Well, that's. 183 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,960 That's not a real question, so I'm not going to, I'm not going 184 00:09:59,960 --> 00:10:04,080 to answer. Jamie Mckevitt says What's your 185 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,520 McDonald's order? If your hunger rating is 8 out 186 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:13,880 of 1010, being famished, is McDonald's the spot to go to for 187 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:19,600 like, being absolutely starving? Or is McDonald's like a really 188 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,880 good snack? I don't know, it's hard. 189 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:27,320 It's hard to define. Like if I'm really hungry, I'll 190 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:32,360 eat in the house or I don't know, like you don't really come 191 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,960 out of McDonald's stuffed And that's not a day got Ronald and 192 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,000 the boys. That's more me just saying I 193 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,640 don't know. McDonald's is kind of food on 194 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:44,760 the go. Fast food doesn't really here's 195 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:50,360 here's what I would get. I would get a Big Mac meal plane 196 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:55,200 right, which is which is annoying to the staff because 197 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,320 they hate that because they pretty make all the Big Macs and 198 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,800 then when you said playing, they've got to go make you like 199 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,120 a fresh one, like a new one. And what you could do that's 200 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:07,120 very, very money told is you go in, you say, listen, playing Big 201 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:08,720 Mac, please. The guy rolls his eyes. 202 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,320 You go. I have allergies. 203 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,120 And then when he makes it and he brings you around the warm brand 204 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,760 new Big Mac with nothing on it, then you go here, mate, can I 205 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,880 get a side of salad, please? That's experience. 206 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,720 That's what that is. I've never done that, but I get 207 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,160 a Big Mac needle. I get, I was going to say I get 208 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:31,360 Diet Coke, Coke 0 or water. I don't, I go to McDonald's a 209 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,360 couple of times a year. If I go, it's full of fat Coke. 210 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,120 It's full of fat Coke. And then I'll also get 6 Nuggets 211 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,120 as well. We call it, we call it the the 212 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,720 King's feast. Well, no, Burger King is the 213 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,880 king. It's it's it's the it's the 214 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:51,440 money tow banquet is essentially what it is, but I'm not really 215 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,480 AI don't know there's something, you know, if I get fast food 216 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,360 like that, I like to eat it in my car in private with my shirt 217 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:04,200 off. So you won't often see the money 218 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,160 to going to a big fast food chain. 219 00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:11,120 You'll see me go to chippies. You know, I certainly I 220 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,600 certainly am a guy that is partial to chippy and noses 221 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:19,640 chippies, you know what I mean? So that would be my McDonald's 222 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,720 order. But I don't know. 223 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,320 I mean, as a kid, McDonald's was the ultimate. 224 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:29,280 McDonald's was the ultimate. Dave Elliott, I sent you a 10 225 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,720 out of 10 What'sapp message. Any chance of replying? 226 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,160 Cheers. So let's go in and see what he 227 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,040 said and see if it really is 10 out of 10. 228 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:41,760 Where the fuck is he? He saved in my phone, obviously, 229 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,120 as Judas. OK, He said, do I want to see 230 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:46,160 something? 10 out of 10? 231 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,800 I've said yes. OK. 232 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:59,440 Yeah, so this is a tweet that said every music video in the 233 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:06,160 90s and yeah, yeah, that that is incredibly enjoyable. 234 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,200 And Michael Dapper. Yeah, that guy, that guy is 235 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,160 really funny. Yeah. 236 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:18,280 Dave, OK, that is 10 out of 10. Fantastic. 237 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:19,840 I'll reply to him and he'll love that. 238 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,320 That'll make his day. Yeah. 239 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,840 Another 90s thing. I I haven't watched that full 240 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,120 video, so I don't know if he does. 241 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:30,200 It was rappers would not even rappers like white guys that 242 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,440 were doing more of an R&B vibe. If you're watching the video 243 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,760 podcast, but do this and what I'm doing is they would overlap 244 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,520 their hands so that their thumbs were coming up to their face and 245 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,200 they would they would do that. They would get behind their two 246 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,200 hands and kind of make a like a double fist. 247 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,120 And that was a real 90s guy move. 248 00:13:48,680 --> 00:13:51,320 Phil Nesbitt. Not the Belfast guy in China, 249 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,200 just the other Belfast guy in China. 250 00:13:53,560 --> 00:13:56,080 Big fan of the podcast Jingle. Where's it from? 251 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,600 I'd like to add some Tea With Me tunes to the playlist. 252 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:09,360 So the Jingle at the start. I think the Jingle at the start 253 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:14,600 was sourced by Big Mike. I think he went away to the 254 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,720 studio. I think he locked himself in, 255 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,760 booked himself a backing band and recorded that off of his own 256 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,440 fair hands. No, I don't know. 257 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,000 I honestly don't know and you think I would because it is my 258 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,880 podcast, but I don't know. You'd like to add some tea with 259 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,560 me tunes to the playlist. I mean, what are we listening to 260 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:36,040 when we were able to have our first our first tea party, by 261 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:37,680 the way, that was my back rubbing against the sofa. 262 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,920 That wasn't an apple tart. And whenever we're and I say 263 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,800 apple tart, I told columnist story on this podcast earlier. 264 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,280 In fact, not even on the podcast before we recorded, someone said 265 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,040 the word fart. And that reminded me that 266 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:54,520 whenever I was about 10, my dad took me to Elliot's joke shop in 267 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,800 Belfast. And because I because I was 268 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,320 hilarious back then, I wanted a fart machine. 269 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,880 You know, like the wee boxes with the remote and you hit it 270 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,160 and it makes a farts on you put it behind someone's back and a 271 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,160 hilarity ensues. Yeah, one of those, but my dad 272 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,480 goes, listen, don't be saying fart. 273 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:14,120 Make sure you say apple tart, which was like rhyming slang, 274 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,920 obviously, but I hadn't said apple tart since I was about 5. 275 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,160 So. So I was like, Oh no, I have to 276 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,480 say this to this guy. So I had to go to the counter 277 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,600 and there was a fellow working in Elliot's and I had to go. 278 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,080 Hi, could I have an apple tart? Machine and the guy's like wrong 279 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,080 shot mate. This is not a bacon goods 280 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,040 supply. And I had to say no, I mean like 281 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,040 an apple tart and he's like, we don't have an apple tart 282 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:37,760 machine. And then my dad had to intervene 283 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,280 and get involved and it was very embarrassing. 284 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,760 But what will we be listening to at the Tea Party? 285 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,760 I mean, I was going to say the likes of it, but you know, it's 286 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:53,400 it's like nice lounge music. So I could see us listening to I 287 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,040 could see us listening to a little bit of James Blunt, but 288 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:57,640 not like you're beautiful. Goodbye, my lover. 289 00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,400 Something a little bit off paced by Blunt. 290 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,200 You know, let's go a little bit off piece with Blunt. 291 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:06,360 Like what else they got? The one with the wise man with 292 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,840 the boners by the sea. Those three wise men, they've 293 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:14,600 got a semi by the sea. You got to ask yourself the 294 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,760 question, why are they in the song and why are they erect by 295 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,320 the sea? Who are the men? 296 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,000 So I think that would be so I could say it's listen to the 297 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,160 Eagles. What about a little bit of Dire 298 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:28,760 Straight? If I know Dire Straits is maybe 299 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,960 like kicking a little bit Simon and Garfunkel, that would be 300 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:36,800 very enjoyable. Cabs says talk about the lack of 301 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,760 Shane Todd and Ray of Elliot on Fridays. 302 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,640 Yeah, our our run on BBC Radio Ulster is over. 303 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:47,240 It's over our reign of terror, as a lot of people would call 304 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:48,440 it. It's done. 305 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:52,240 There's been a radio ceasefire and and we're taking a break 306 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:56,720 again. It's a, it's just the way we've 307 00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,480 we've been doing it. They're like, we love Radio 308 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:04,200 Ulster, Dave and I, we love being on air and doing that 309 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,200 show. I think this is maybe the, the 310 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,720 fifth series of the Shane Todd show. 311 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,560 And then and it's it's brilliant. 312 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,240 Like we would do it pretty much every day if we could. 313 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:23,440 But I guess you know, there's, there's a lot of broadcasters, 314 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:30,800 there's a lot of what would you say there's a lot of like 315 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,200 different shows that they have to get the air and they only 316 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,040 have a certain amount of time to do that, you know, in, in the, 317 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,640 in the schedule. So they know that we want to be 318 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:45,480 in there more hopefully down the line, like maybe next year, like 319 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,320 early next year, we we get back in. 320 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,880 I mean, I'm pretty sure we are going we are going back in and 321 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:56,480 then we do another run and maybe that's a point where we can you 322 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,600 know, be permanent, like try and get that slot or or another 323 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,560 slot. But I think it's great. 324 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,320 I think it's it's great that radio Ulster like let us play 325 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:12,240 the kind of music that we play, because you know, that's that's 326 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,560 the we started doing that start of ray of lockdown. 327 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,240 And I thought at the start of the lockdown, we did the the 328 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,840 rate one off ray of show and then it just stopped. 329 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,640 And I thought they would kind of say to us, which are probably 330 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,040 well within the race to do like, listen, can you make the music a 331 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,840 bit more eclectic and that kind of thing? 332 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,480 But they didn't. They're like, just keep doing 333 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,600 the music that you want to do. So I think we've got to show 334 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,640 there the balances. I'm very biassed, obviously, 335 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,440 because it's literally called the Shane Todd Show. 336 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,760 And but we're balancing like fun music to listen to, especially 337 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,760 at the start of the weekend. And, and I think there's some, 338 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,080 some great. Chat, I think there's some. 339 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:51,840 Pretty good shot in there as well from Dave and myself, you 340 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,280 know, and just chatting, having a little bit of a titter, not a 341 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:59,040 tether up between us. Some people say, yeah, but the 342 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,880 the, the there's a lot of love for the show, which which is 343 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,120 class because the first few series we did, we're still very 344 00:19:06,120 --> 00:19:09,480 much feeling our way into it and we still aren't I in in the 345 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,960 radio. But then, you know, the first 346 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,680 few series, the interaction maybe wasn't there as much as it 347 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,840 would have been with other shows in terms of like people getting 348 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,120 in touch with the show and we were just figuring out what we 349 00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:23,400 wanted to do on radio. But now I think we know what we 350 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,600 want to do. I think we have a really strong 351 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,320 show that I would listen to if I wasn't doing it. 352 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,840 But it'd be weird if it was the Shane Todd show and somebody 353 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,800 else was hosting it, But you know what I mean? 354 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,640 I think it makes the show. I don't want to sound like a 355 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,600 colossal deck, but I think the show makes people feel good. 356 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,240 It makes us feel good going to do it. 357 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,160 And I think a lot of people were like Mark in the start of their 358 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,000 weekend by it, you know, being like Friday night, finish work 359 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,880 if you're working, stick that show on and and then like have a 360 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,200 couple of drinks with your mates or in your house, whatever. 361 00:19:57,120 --> 00:19:59,720 So I don't know. Yeah, they've been away. 362 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,400 It's away from Friday nights now, but hopefully we're we're 363 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:06,720 back sooner rather than later, Jamie Blobby says. 364 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,280 Did you reply to the heart and soul of the Northern Ireland of 365 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,240 Northern Ireland comedy or just comedy in general? 366 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,320 Dave Elliot And what was the 10 out of 10 message? 367 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,520 So I've revealed what the message was and is Dave the 368 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,560 heart and soul of the Northern Ireland comedy scene? 369 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,000 I mean, he's. Part of it, he's part of it, he 370 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,200 would tell you. He is like he calls himself the 371 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,840 the power behind the throne. You know, when people say like 372 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,200 Dave, you're the best thing on Shane's radio show, Dave says, 373 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,120 yes, I'm the power behind the throne, which I don't like. 374 00:20:37,120 --> 00:20:39,360 But then again, it does look a lot like the mountain from Game 375 00:20:39,360 --> 00:20:40,960 of Thrones. So that is in a way fair. 376 00:20:42,360 --> 00:20:44,840 And he was he was grown in a lab. 377 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,080 So it makes it makes a lot of sense. 378 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,120 I can't wait for the Northern comedy comedy seem to be back 379 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,360 regularly. You know, just seeing people 380 00:20:53,360 --> 00:20:55,080 they haven't seen since started a lockdown. 381 00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:01,240 And it will be and it will be bigger, stronger and let's make 382 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:02,880 let's make local comedy great again. 383 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:07,040 Let's make great again. Yeah, I did Collins podcast 384 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:08,960 today, which was brilliant. Always great. 385 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,560 Crack going to do general bander podcast. 386 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,040 I think that will come out next week. 387 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,920 I'm not too sure. Could you see him? 388 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:18,760 We went. For lunch and that, that's just 389 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,680 nice. And that's just what friends do. 390 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,160 That's just what. Friends do, they go for a nice 391 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,480 lunch and they feed each other their dinner. 392 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,200 And no, we didn't because obviously socially distance from 393 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:32,760 account, but but yeah, you know, there's, there's probably about, 394 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:38,880 there's, there's probably about 48 people I think in the world 395 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,240 that I love like I I have loved for. 396 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,680 And Colin Collins, one of those people, Dave Elliott is 397 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:45,960 obviously one of those people too. 398 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:52,320 But you know, there are people within comedy that I miss as 399 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,800 comedians and then there's people that I miss as comedians 400 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,520 and then as just friends to. So I can't wait until we're 401 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:03,800 backstage talking absolute shit again, talking absolute drivel 402 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,520 because that's what that's what it's all about. 403 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,640 David Durkin says, can you give Arlene Foster one compliment to 404 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,240 set her up for a lovely weekend? And I can give her more than 405 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,880 one. I think in my I think I speak 406 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,320 for all of us. I think I speak for everyone in 407 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,360 whether you call it Northern Ireland, the north of Ireland, 408 00:22:24,360 --> 00:22:28,760 whatever. I think we are united in our 409 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,840 opinion that and yeah, well I will speak for everyone. 410 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:37,920 We're united in our opinion that government are doing a fantastic 411 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,760 local government, are doing a fantastic job, They're doing as 412 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,120 good a job as the Tories are across the water. 413 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:50,480 I think Arlene Foster and Michelle O'Neill have acted 414 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:56,920 really well during the pandemic. You know, I think they, what you 415 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,720 can rely on them for is 2 things. 416 00:23:00,120 --> 00:23:02,160 Top leadership and a little bit of fun as well. 417 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:06,120 You know, they, they, I just watched those two guys together 418 00:23:06,120 --> 00:23:07,600 and I'm like, they're having fun. 419 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,920 Those guys are having fun, you know, and I think Arne Foster 420 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,800 should come on the TV with Me podcast. 421 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:20,640 I think, I think you can't accuse Arlene's reign of not 422 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,120 being fun. That's the bottom line. 423 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:29,480 The DUP like to have fun. You, you know, Sinn Fein are the 424 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,440 same. They like to have fun. 425 00:23:32,360 --> 00:23:36,520 You know, like when Michelle O'Neill was like, you know, 426 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:40,080 everyone has to wear a mask and then she went to a funeral and 427 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:46,160 then she didn't wear a mask. Fun When Arlene Foster was like, 428 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:51,360 listen, would and this was just to her friends and family, she 429 00:23:51,360 --> 00:23:54,240 was like, listen, would you like this boiler that you don't need 430 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,560 to use and you're going to make sweet dough out of it? 431 00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:04,120 Fun when MPSE junior, you know, goes to Zante with a lot of DUP 432 00:24:04,120 --> 00:24:05,640 boys and he's like, listen, trade mission. 433 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,520 We're trying to get Zante to export poppers to Northern 434 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,440 Ireland. Fun. 435 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,760 It's all fun. So I, I would give Arnie Foster 436 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,400 calling on and say she's doing a fantastic job and she's like 437 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,360 great crack and she's come on TV with me podcast. 438 00:24:20,120 --> 00:24:23,240 And she said this week that she doesn't do Twitter, but she has 439 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:24,560 Twitter, but she doesn't look at it. 440 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,160 And that's 100% not true. Because as I said on Twitter, 441 00:24:27,360 --> 00:24:33,080 Arne Foster 100% watches my videos and giggles along and she 442 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:39,920 she says after every video shows what's he like Michael White 443 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,160 says. And by the way, Michael, that's 444 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,000 racist. He says slippers for shippers. 445 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,040 I can't have them near me. It must be genetic as my son who 446 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,160 is 7 has never worn them either. Michael, you lunatic. 447 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:56,600 Are you saying Michael, you just saying that he's also done like 448 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,560 the book face as well. So Michael, are you saying you 449 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:02,800 can't have slippers near you? Are you saying that there is 450 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,320 something about slippers, the crochet and what is it? 451 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,560 Do you not like things slipping? Like, are you, do you do when 452 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:13,360 things slip, do you picture like a squelching noise or what is it 453 00:25:13,360 --> 00:25:17,040 you don't like about slippers? What I don't like about slippers 454 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,800 is I'm not allowed to leave my slippers lying about the house, 455 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,000 which is sly because you don't know when you'll need your 456 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,920 slippers. You know a flipper gotta take 457 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,000 the bins out of short notice, put my slippers on. 458 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,320 But then if your slippers are all the way upstairs, what's the 459 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:31,280 point? You may as well just go out in 460 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:32,640 your socks. Even at the bottom of your socks 461 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,160 will get dirty. I'm wet. 462 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,400 Michael, I if I were you, I would speak to someone because 463 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,680 if you feel physically sick at the thought of slippers, then 464 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:43,000 there's something else going on there. 465 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,680 I wouldn't be a big slippers guy, but definitely when it's 466 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,160 when it's when it's middle of winter, I will come down from a 467 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,600 breakfast with pyjamas, A robe and slippers on. 468 00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:58,640 But then again, I'm 87 years old. 469 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,400 But yeah, I'm all for slippers. In fact, we should get Tea with 470 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:07,560 Me slippers that say these are my zippers or separate slippers. 471 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:09,240 I don't know. What we should do is sell the 472 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,880 merch we already have on shopify.com. 473 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,680 If you search for Shane Todd comedy, I'll send the link out 474 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:19,800 again, all the podcast merch. Is there money to T-shirts, Tea 475 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,100 with Me mugs? We sold out of the Keith Cruz 476 00:26:22,100 --> 00:26:23,320 T-shirts. They're steppers T-shirts as 477 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,520 well and they're all there and they look sweet as well. 478 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,800 So so do check that out. But Michael, don't worry, 479 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:34,640 there's no slippers on there. Glenn Lindsay, the big the big 480 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,400 issue, when will fans be allowed back in the Irish League 481 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:43,640 grounds? I don't know my man, because I 482 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,040 thought that was just about to happen. 483 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,920 I think everybody did. And then it was like, Nah, we're 484 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:49,360 not. I mean, even my foot, my 485 00:26:49,360 --> 00:26:53,640 football, my level of football, which is, you know, certainly 486 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,000 couldn't be described as elite, was all back on. 487 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,840 Everything was happening. League was supposed to start 488 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:02,280 next week or week after next. And now that's all been shot the 489 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,520 shit for a while. So when can fans come in Irish 490 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:06,720 League grounds? I don't know. 491 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,640 I think the way they were doing it where people were allowed 492 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,640 back in, in small groups, I don't think that was doing any 493 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,160 harm at all. And I think that was good. 494 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,440 The people, you know, any sort of crowd were allowed in. 495 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:26,120 But but I, I don't know, I hope it's soon because clubs will go 496 00:27:26,120 --> 00:27:30,200 out of business and it costs a lot to operate even small Irish 497 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,320 League clubs. So hopefully soon. 498 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:37,040 Daniel Houston, how much milk is too much milk for tea where it's 499 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,560 more of a light brown? You know, if you're watching the 500 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:44,400 video podcast, can you see, can you see the colour of my tea? 501 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:50,880 You know, it's kind of AI like I like to put in an amount where 502 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,240 cheeky people would look at it and go, is the cow dead? 503 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:54,600 And you go, what are you talking about? 504 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:55,640 They're like there's none of milk. 505 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:04,680 Big big Robert or big Robert, It's spelled Robert, but when I 506 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,520 say it, it sounds like I'm trying to say Robert smacked 507 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:11,400 out. And big Robert says which local 508 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,200 comedian steals the most material bar you, of course. 509 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,520 And you see what I like about that is that's quintessentially 510 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:22,360 Northern Irish banter of like asking a question, but to get in 511 00:28:22,360 --> 00:28:24,680 a joke and I've got to applaud that. 512 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:28,720 I've got to take my hat off to you for it and them and. 513 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:35,200 For you, of course. Robert, you're cheeky, I would 514 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:36,560 say. Do you know what's mad? 515 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,840 Right. Back in the day, and I mean like 516 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:45,000 probably the 70's, the 80s, maybe even the 90s, maybe even 517 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,280 the early naughties before I was doing stand up, naughty, 518 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:52,760 naughty, very naughty, The idea of doing stand up of like 519 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:56,920 playing working man's pubs, working man's clubs, doing 520 00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:02,680 functions and things like that. Jokes weren't really there 521 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,080 wasn't there wasn't much of an ownership thing on jokes back 522 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:07,320 then. Like it's obviously well 523 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:11,120 different now, but you could have back then, I'm not saying 524 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,040 everyone did, but back then you could have done pre-existing 525 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,680 like well known dad jokes or whatever as part of your set 526 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,560 because people weren't, do you know, there were certainly 527 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,440 storytellers back then, obviously like Billy Conley and 528 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,160 loads more people like that. But one like there was a lot of 529 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,360 one liner comedians who were like very much like, I just do 530 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:34,240 like well known jokes. And I've seen it like from, you 531 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:38,560 know, years ago when I went to see stand up and, you know, saw 532 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,480 some acts who would have been gigging a lot in the likes of 533 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:45,400 the 70s and the 80s. And it wasn't like a taboo 534 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:46,840 thing. You know, it was like, it wasn't 535 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:48,920 bad etiquette to do it. It was just the way kind of 536 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,400 stand up was. And then you had storytellers 537 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:55,400 who were way more storytellers. But I think now stand up has 538 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,880 become more mainstream. Stand up has become more of a 539 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,280 hybrid between the two. So it's storytelling, but with 540 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,360 one liners within the story, if that makes sense. 541 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:10,200 But you, you, you, you can't obviously steal stuff now You 542 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,680 you have to do your own stuff. Now it's a thing like people 543 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,760 will still say like when you say you do stand up, or if someone's 544 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,680 just curious about stand up, they'll say, Oh, do you write 545 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,960 your own stuff? And you're like, that's my other 546 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:26,200 people think that stand up is what it was like, if you know 547 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,160 what I mean. So of course. 548 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,840 And there's people who there's people who have writers, there's 549 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:35,680 like very well known comedians who and they like don't hide it 550 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:39,200 or anything, but they have writers or, or they do writers 551 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,960 rooms where they get a little, they say, like, I've got this 552 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,680 material far out some lines for it. 553 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:49,680 I've done that before very informally with stand up mates, 554 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,160 you know, to start a lockdown that if you over zoom with with 555 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,880 comedian friends and it was like you'd have a bit of material 556 00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:58,360 each. So I would go here, I've got 557 00:30:58,360 --> 00:30:59,760 this, but what do you think of this? 558 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,960 And you say it out loud and the person will go, what could you 559 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,000 do this instead? And you go, ah, yeah, maybe 560 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,640 you're honest and you do the same for them. 561 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:11,280 So I think I might, I might start doing that maybe once a 562 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,640 month and use a different comedian friend. 563 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,000 And if they have material, do it back and forth. 564 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,840 I I find that really good. But you can't, you can't steal 565 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:21,840 material. You can't steal material. 566 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,560 Jamie Harrison says, what would you be doing if you didn't do 567 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:30,080 the comedy? If you do the you doing the 568 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,800 comedy? If I wasn't doing comedy, I 569 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,240 think we talked, I think we devoted like an episode to the 570 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,360 effect last week was me looking at alternative jobs. 571 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:48,600 But the real answer would be the real answer would probably be 572 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:53,080 something in media, you know, whether it was like, Mark, I 573 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,720 don't have a marketing background, but I I enjoyed 574 00:31:55,720 --> 00:32:00,480 doing that in, in college. I like doing media law. 575 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,240 I did media law for a while as well as part of my course, which 576 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,720 I enjoyed. And it's handy to know like the 577 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,520 insurance and outs of, you know, some of the laws around all this 578 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:13,840 kind of stuff. So probably something like that. 579 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,560 But honestly, it's not some something I've given more 580 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:20,480 thought to recently, but hopefully I won't need to think 581 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,800 about it in too much detail. But yeah, probably something 582 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:28,520 within within media, Rory Arkin says, have you any dirt about 583 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,880 other comedians that isn't known to the public that you can 584 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,440 share? And David Durkin under writes 585 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,800 naughty. Yeah, I'm just going to throw 586 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:40,280 this out there. Dave Elliott's back is hairier 587 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:45,720 than than any any what would you say any other thing that exists 588 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,480 in the IT People go? Mexico City is one of the most 589 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,040 densely populated cities in the world. 590 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,080 It's not nowhere near as densely populated as Dave Elliott's 591 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:54,920 back. There's more hair on Dave's back 592 00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,720 than people in Mexico City. And a lot of people won't know 593 00:32:58,720 --> 00:32:59,880 that. I mean, they probably will know 594 00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:01,240 that, but he has a very hairy back. 595 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,400 But but that that would be one of them. 596 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:10,320 That would be one of them. And then, yeah, nothing else. 597 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,360 I mean nothing else really springs the mind at the minute, 598 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,480 Sharon says. What's your favourite tray bake? 599 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,880 I mean absolutely no stirring apart from Sharon who just wants 600 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,440 to talk bacon. My favourite tray bake. 601 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,480 If I could have any tray break if I didn't have dairy 602 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:30,160 allergies. I mean I'd be like Thor if I 603 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,560 didn't have dairy allergies. My favourite. 604 00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:35,000 Hard to beat a car. What about those? 605 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,200 What about those wee Thorntons caramel squares? 606 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,640 What about the wee mini Thorntons, Caramel squares, 607 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,480 millionaires, shortbread, like that kind of thing? 608 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,280 I like that. I like Malteser squares. 609 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:49,800 Mint Arrow whereby we mint arrow square. 610 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:51,640 I love Tree I. Used to love it whenever I could 611 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:52,240 eat nice. Food. 612 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:56,760 Thanks for that child. Katie's McComb says. 613 00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:58,880 What is your precise tea making procedure? 614 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:03,840 OK, here we go. Boil the tea. 615 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:04,400 Boil. Sorry. 616 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,320 No, fuck, I fucked it. Fucked it. 617 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,480 Boil the water, get the cup out that I want. 618 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:11,800 Might be a different cup for a different time of day, different 619 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,080 occasion. Take a standard cup, bang, put 620 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:16,920 my tea bag in it while the water boils. 621 00:34:17,159 --> 00:34:19,480 Go get the milk out when the water boils. 622 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,080 I'm leaving at 10 seconds roughly before a pour, but I'm 623 00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,960 not counting it out. I'll pour, I'll leave the tea 624 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,239 there. I might go and put my phone on 625 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:28,800 charge. I might go and do something 626 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,520 that's going to take like 15 seconds. 627 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:35,760 Then I dip the bag 15 times. I dip the tea bag 15 times 628 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:39,040 roughly, maybe 5 either side. Allow for five. 629 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:41,560 Then I squeeze the bag inside of the cup. 630 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:43,360 Then I put the tea bag in the bin. 631 00:34:43,679 --> 00:34:47,520 Then I pour my milk in and stir as I pour, allowing for the 632 00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:49,719 perfect consistency. Because if you don't, sometimes 633 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:51,400 you stir it and you go. That's not the amount of milk I 634 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,480 want. And anyone who does it a 635 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,920 different way should be trialled as a Nazi war criminal. 636 00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:00,760 One Flying Irishman. Does relying on comedy as a 637 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,760 living take the fun out of foot a bit, or does the pressure to 638 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,240 keep the money toads Lily pad moist force you to keep your 639 00:35:06,240 --> 00:35:09,640 game sharp? Yeah, the second one, I think it 640 00:35:09,720 --> 00:35:12,600 puts way more fun into it when you're like, Oh my God, I do 641 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,440 this full time. I do this as a job. 642 00:35:16,720 --> 00:35:19,440 It means you kind of have to be on it all the time. 643 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,680 And you do have to, like you say, make your writing sharp and 644 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,320 you have to be focused and and kind of work hard at it. 645 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:28,320 So I think it's it's a better thing for me that I do do it 646 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,760 full time. Matthew Merlin, do usually carve 647 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:33,240 a pumpkin. What have you got in mind this 648 00:35:33,240 --> 00:35:36,480 year? Here's my effort, Matthew. 649 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,560 I'd love to slag you for that because we obviously have a 650 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,200 little bit of a back and forth, but we love each other really. 651 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,200 But that is fantastic. I like what you've done with the 652 00:35:43,240 --> 00:35:46,440 golf ball on the side of it as if the pumpkin has been hit by a 653 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,000 golf ball and it's stuck in a Ted, which actually in a way is 654 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:53,240 horrendously sinister. But I like what you've done 655 00:35:53,240 --> 00:35:54,680 there. I like that you took a picture 656 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:58,280 of it and sent me it. I would rate your effort for 657 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:02,440 that. 10 out of 10. So smashing job, smashing job, 658 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,560 smashing pumpkins. I don't carve pumpkins though, 659 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:12,120 no offence because you know, I'm an I'm an adult so I enjoy it 660 00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:15,000 when children do it. Ali Campbell, What was your 661 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,000 favourite young American comedian? 662 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:23,080 Be at the minute under 40 favourite. 663 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:34,040 Sam Morrill is really good. MO double RIL or MORILL, one of 664 00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:40,000 those two, he's really good. Mark Normand is very, very good. 665 00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:44,840 Chris Destefano, very, very good. 666 00:36:48,240 --> 00:36:52,760 I'll go, I'll go. Sam Morill, I'm probably saying 667 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:54,440 a surname wrong, which is disrespectful. 668 00:36:54,960 --> 00:37:00,960 He has a special comedy centric Comedy Central special online at 669 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:04,600 the minute free. So Sam Morill, I can't remember 670 00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,440 what it's called, but it's good. So go check that out. 671 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,480 Patrick Quinbelt, the original Belfast guy in China. 672 00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:13,200 Some say double up on what you're good at. 673 00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,320 I think we should double up on what we're not good at, 674 00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:17,720 stretching our comfort zone to face fears. 675 00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:19,840 No one on the other side of fears. 676 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,240 Greatness. What are you very uncomfortable 677 00:37:22,240 --> 00:37:24,800 at that you would love to be great at and what would make you 678 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:28,840 proud to say you've achieved? Well, I'm good at two things. 679 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:32,760 Number one is being humble and #2 is I'm good at everything. 680 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:40,520 So there's what would I love to be good at that I'm not good at 681 00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,560 at the minute. Probably like doing stuff on a 682 00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:49,080 BMX, you know what I mean? Like I can, what can I do in a 683 00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:54,240 BMXI could go down some pretty small stairs or steps. 684 00:37:54,240 --> 00:37:58,000 Not stairs, get call from a dinner. 685 00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:02,760 I'll be down in a second. But I would like to be able to 686 00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:06,040 do, for example, a backflip on a BMX because they think at any 687 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:10,720 age that will impress anyone that you would get honestly, 688 00:38:10,720 --> 00:38:12,400 like I would get a Netflix special. 689 00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:16,600 If I phone Netflix and said, can I have a special, They would go, 690 00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,720 probably not made. And I go, listen, I'm calling 691 00:38:19,720 --> 00:38:21,360 you on FaceTime And they would answer it. 692 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,560 And then I'd be on a BMX and I'd go, what about now? 693 00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:25,480 And then I would do it, but I wouldn't, in fact, I wouldn't 694 00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,440 say what about now? I'd do the backflip, my BMX and 695 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:32,480 then I go, what about now? So something like that would be 696 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,200 pretty cool. Like, I saw this absolute blue 697 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:39,280 bag cycling out of Belfast one day with no hands. 698 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:43,000 Not that he didn't have hands, but he he had his hat, literally 699 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:47,400 had his hands down his bags, like in his in his pants. 700 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,960 And he was just cycling with no hands and he wasn't really 701 00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,440 looking at the road. And I thought if that guy could 702 00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:55,960 stop sniffing glue, he'd be president of the world. 703 00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:00,360 Ricky Long. If it's raining, do you walk 704 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,640 faster, run or just continue at the same speed? 705 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:07,000 I walk a wee bit faster but not enough that I look like a bitch. 706 00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,280 You know I don't want, I don't want to be Reigns bitch. 707 00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:14,640 So I just walk a little bit faster Ricky. 708 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:16,400 But it depends. If I'm wearing something great 709 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,000 and my hair sitting well, I'll use same bolt at home from 710 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:24,440 wherever I am. Johnny Bow with Stephen Nolan 711 00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,720 taking up running. Who would you have in your BBC 712 00:39:26,720 --> 00:39:35,160 Relax team? It'd be me, Nolan, Dave, who 713 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:39,480 else bar best because like Barra would know the weather. 714 00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:43,480 So we'd know like what direction the winds coming, what angle to 715 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,440 be running at, that kind of thing. 716 00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:50,680 And and Hugo Duncan, you know, I could see Hugo being a long 717 00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:52,920 distance running guy. I don't think over 5 yards you 718 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:54,360 would have much pace in his locker. 719 00:39:54,680 --> 00:40:00,280 But I could see Hugo like the and 1/2 marathon on five weeks 720 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:03,720 notice. But I don't know how much 721 00:40:03,720 --> 00:40:06,480 interest it would be if I sent a round Robin e-mail around BBC 722 00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,800 staff saying does anyone want to join my running relay team? 723 00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,760 Matthew Hyland, not much of a separate question, but can you 724 00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:16,560 put the podcast back on SoundCloud again? 725 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,120 I'll ask producer Dan. I don't know why it's not on 726 00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:23,960 SoundCloud anymore, but if producer Dan isn't making that 727 00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,040 SoundCloud anymore, I'm sure he has a good reason for it. 728 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,800 Maybe he has maybe has a mortal nemesis at SoundCloud, I don't 729 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,000 know. But then yeah, I'm sure there's 730 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:38,040 a good reason for it, Ewan says. Can you convince BBC to remake 731 00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:41,520 Pulling Moves? Pulling Moves was absolutely 732 00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:44,760 brilliant. It was a comedy series from here 733 00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:49,920 about been about 15 years ago, 1520 years ago. 734 00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:54,360 And it was about a, a big group, like a group of like 5 dodgy 735 00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:57,640 characters trying to pull moves. Which means if you're not from 736 00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:01,680 here, it means like trying to make money basically through not 737 00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:05,440 strictly legal ways. Pull the Moves was absolutely 738 00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,880 brilliant and the film Man About Dog was really good too. 739 00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:13,200 And that is the kind of comedy that I I want to make when this 740 00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:18,240 is over. I want to make stuff that I want 741 00:41:18,240 --> 00:41:23,480 to make. Stuff that people here are 742 00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:28,720 talking about in 10/15/20 years and going wasn't that class for 743 00:41:28,720 --> 00:41:32,160 just the sake of being class. You know, think a lot of comedy 744 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,320 nowadays is is is trying to be the same kind of thing. 745 00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:37,120 It's trying to be so many different things. 746 00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:42,560 But pulling moves was just fun. It was good. 747 00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,960 People still share video clips of it now and I definitely look 748 00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:47,800 back to that with a lot of nostalgia. 749 00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,680 BBC, maybe they could do some sort of like reunion one off 750 00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:53,480 episode. I think that'd be so popular. 751 00:41:54,720 --> 00:41:58,120 I mean, I, they don't really repeat old things, but I think, 752 00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:03,360 I think if you repeat a pull of moves, people would really, 753 00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:11,520 really enjoy it. Let me say, Ben, have you heard 754 00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:13,760 any of young Spencer's absolute bangers yet? 755 00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:19,560 I don't know what that is. I, I really don't know what that 756 00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:24,880 is. Rory Brawley, can you talk about 757 00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:28,040 Michelle O'Neill's eyebrows or Arlene Foster's mop? 758 00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:36,160 Rory I can't do that because I'm not a better middle-aged woman 759 00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,960 drinking gin on on the stairs, you know what I mean? 760 00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:41,840 I'm not that judgmental. Plus I think they look great. 761 00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:45,080 I think the politics are great and I think Stormont are doing a 762 00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,520 great job. And maybe, Rory, instead of 763 00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:51,160 criticising superficial things in our politicians, you should 764 00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:55,080 do what I'm going to do, which is start a petition to get a 765 00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:59,280 statue outside Belfast City Hall of every single politician that 766 00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:02,480 served during this pandemic, because they've all done an 767 00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:08,240 equally good job. And was like. 768 00:43:08,240 --> 00:43:10,800 Bring the statues down. I'm like, put fifty of them up. 769 00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:18,960 Andrew Kelly, Why have they removed truffle from 770 00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:20,960 celebrations when it was the most popular choice? 771 00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:22,840 That was a really straightforward question. 772 00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:24,520 I don't know why. I looked at it like you'd asked 773 00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:28,320 me to quantify the theory of relativity, which I actually 774 00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:29,880 could do, which will surprise a lot of people. 775 00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:33,680 Truffle. Do people like Truffle? 776 00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:35,880 I don't know. I don't know. 777 00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:37,120 They do. I think they do things. 778 00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:39,080 They've got a lot of time to get people talking like us. 779 00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:44,800 Now we've just advertised celebrations, Ryan, a Belfast 780 00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:46,520 bop is a blasphemous to toast it. 781 00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:50,000 Yes, 100 percent, 100%. It's a crusty roll. 782 00:43:50,240 --> 00:43:54,160 Like crusty is so good, like a big crusty roll and toasting is 783 00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:57,280 still nice, but no, you eat a crusty roll just with butter on 784 00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:00,400 it. Sean McLaughlin, have you 785 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:01,840 watched Prison Break? I'm addicted. 786 00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:05,240 Yeah. What's like the first three 787 00:44:05,240 --> 00:44:07,560 series? And then I think prison breaks 788 00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:09,880 should only be one series long and that's their own prison. 789 00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:12,240 And then they're no longer in prison and now it's like 8 790 00:44:12,240 --> 00:44:15,320 series in and after four series you're like at the start of 791 00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:20,200 series you go, let me guess, let me make a production here. 792 00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,680 These guys might find themselves behind bars and they're not 793 00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:24,960 behind bars. And then I was going to do, 794 00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:26,800 spoiler alert, everybody got told off that recently. 795 00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:34,520 Should look under all the Belfast Live or Kill FM post and 796 00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:36,800 react to all the messages slagging off Arlene and the 797 00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:38,360 politicians. No, we don't. 798 00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:40,840 We don't do that on here. We get we actually want 799 00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:44,400 politicians on this podcast. I would love Arlene Foster or 800 00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:46,600 Michelle O'Neill to do this podcast and I wouldn't even be 801 00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:50,400 like immature or whatever, but I would just like have a proper 802 00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:53,000 chat over a cup of tea. I would love to do that. 803 00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:56,000 And so no, we're not slagging anybody off. 804 00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:58,360 Sure. Hanlon, would you rather have 805 00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:00,880 arms the length of fingers or fingers the length of arms? 806 00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:04,880 I do have fingers the length of arms, so ideally I would just 807 00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:08,960 stay with that. Francis Starrett, who's Northern 808 00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,240 Ireland's top weatherman, Frank Mitchell or Barrow best. 809 00:45:11,240 --> 00:45:12,640 Only one way to find it out guys. 810 00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:18,120 Get the tops off and wrestle. Beverly, No topic, just hello 811 00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:19,720 from Arizona. Enjoy your day. 812 00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:23,040 Hey Beverly, right back at you. Enjoy your day in Arizona. 813 00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:27,040 And maybe one day we'll do a live tea with me episode from 814 00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:30,720 from Zona. Do people say zona? 815 00:45:30,720 --> 00:45:33,360 I don't know, but now we do. And hello to all the zeppers in 816 00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:35,400 Arizona. Katie Rice. 817 00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:37,400 Not a question. A senior said you're lactose 818 00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:38,760 intolerant. Drink black tea. 819 00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:41,200 I don't, Katie, I drink almond milk in my tea. 820 00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:43,840 Did you know you can get lactose free milk taste like normal 821 00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:45,040 milk? You can get cheese and butter 822 00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:47,280 and all from the same brand. It literally feels like I've 823 00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:49,640 saved my life with born in black tea. 824 00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:51,320 Katie, do you work for that company? 825 00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:53,160 To be honest, I'm only joking. I like that. 826 00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:56,440 I like Zeppers just being like, listen, I want you to enjoy your 827 00:45:56,440 --> 00:46:01,680 tea experience even more. I do unsweetened almond milk and 828 00:46:01,720 --> 00:46:04,760 I I drink 17 cartoons a week. So ideally, if they could 829 00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:07,840 sponsor the podcast, that would be great. 830 00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:14,600 B says just seeing you and Colin were at Nando's, why haven't you 831 00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:17,280 got your Nando's black card yet? It's a good question. 832 00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:20,200 It's a really good question. We should put it to Nando's. 833 00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:22,200 I deserve it. I did a Nando's sketch at the 834 00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:24,680 start of lockdown that did really well, went all over the 835 00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:26,080 place. They sent me some sauce, which 836 00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:27,440 was nice. But at the same time, like I 837 00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:30,080 just wear as the black card. And I know people that have had 838 00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:32,120 a black card before and I know who has the power to give me the 839 00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:33,200 black card. And I'm like, why you're not 840 00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:37,640 giving me the black card? Zach Fitzgerald, Colin Gettis 841 00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:39,760 versus Dave Elliott, one-on-one fight to the death. 842 00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:44,880 Who comes up on top? I think that would be, I think 843 00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:51,800 that would be a little bit like, do you remember in do you 844 00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,080 remember in the Lane Neeson film, if you saw it, the one 845 00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:57,120 where he fights wolves in the snow at the end of it, him and 846 00:46:57,120 --> 00:47:00,440 the wolf are just like a lion on the snow, on the backs, cut and 847 00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:01,960 bloodied. It would be like that. 848 00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:09,000 It would be like 22 big guys too strong, too literally strong men 849 00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:16,000 going at it. So I don't know. 850 00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:17,880 I don't know what I wouldn't want to call it. 851 00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:28,480 And also. Yeah, no, I'm not going to do 852 00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:31,280 that. Colin versus Dave, I wouldn't 853 00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:33,360 let that happen. I'd get in the middle of it and 854 00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:35,560 if I had the knock both of them out, I would do it. 855 00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:38,520 If I had to go, guys don't fight and they're like, no, we're 856 00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:41,320 going to fight. I'd say, well, listen both, 857 00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:43,520 you're going to get knocked out. And then what I would do is 858 00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:46,960 punch Dave in the face with a right hook and right my right, 859 00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:48,720 the matters on the left hand, my left hand, listening to my 860 00:47:48,720 --> 00:47:50,120 strongest hand. Take my strong hand. 861 00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:52,840 I clock Dave with the left, obviously knock him out, put him 862 00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:56,880 in a coma and then I would go back with the elbow clock on on 863 00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:58,440 the temple. He's done too. 864 00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:01,880 I would pick both them up, put them on my shoulders and then I 865 00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:04,280 would just I would just walk them back to the naughty step, 866 00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:05,680 put them on it. And when they regain 867 00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:08,160 consciousness, I'd say right you to covert over. 868 00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:09,760 You've been a coma that long snog. 869 00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:13,280 I don't know what that would solve, but it would be nice And 870 00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:14,640 zippers. We've done a little bit of a 871 00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:16,920 quicker episode this week. I apologise. 872 00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:19,720 We'll be back with longer episodes on Wednesday and 873 00:48:19,720 --> 00:48:22,520 Friday.
