Zippers, welcome to this episode 15 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,880 of the Tea with Me podcast with me, Shane Todd. 16 00:00:45,160 --> 00:00:48,160 If you're watching the video version of this podcast, well 17 00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:53,040 done you because it's either a good hair day or a bad hair day. 18 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,320 And I'm saying it's a great hair day. 19 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,680 I don't know what's going on, but we've reached peak 90s boy 20 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:03,480 band. That's like Yorkshire tea that 21 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,160 I'm really enjoying at the minute over each peak 90s boy 22 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,120 band hair. Like I look like the guy in the 23 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,200 band who would like be a replacement for someone because 24 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,640 it was always one of those guys in the band who like some fellow 25 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,120 just mysteriously left, you know, and, and then this guy 26 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,360 would just arrive and he was like 2 years older than the rest 27 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,880 of the guys in the band, But he just liked having a good time. 28 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,080 Like that's what he was all about. 29 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,360 And that's what I'm all about. And that's what we're all about 30 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:30,240 in this podcast. I hope everybody's doing well. 31 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,040 But statistically, like chances of that are probably extremely 32 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,840 low. Like there's definitely some guy 33 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,480 like no mate, I sure I got arrested on the 12th there and 34 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:45,920 then, you know, listen, I hope everybody had a good 12th. 35 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,640 I don't know what I don't really know what goes on as such. 36 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,960 I don't know. You know, if they're not do if 37 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,240 the Orange Order aren't doing like the marches, which I think 38 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,720 the Orange Order came out and we're like not like came out. 39 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,320 You know, that would be such a plot twist. 40 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:07,000 But but, but you know, if the orange or the Orange Order 41 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,360 basically came out and started coronavirus and went, listen, 42 00:02:10,199 --> 00:02:12,560 we're cancelling the 12th of marches this year and all, we're 43 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,200 not doing it. We're knocking it in the head, 44 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,800 which actually is good like good etiquette. 45 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,520 You know, I, I enjoyed that from them. 46 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,360 I was like, guys, you know, a lot of people probably would 47 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,520 have had you down as just fucking getting the blinkers on 48 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:30,760 and soldiering on no matter what, But but they didn't do it. 49 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,360 And and I just picture like orange men just doing lobster 50 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,640 their garden, you know, all day on the 12th. 51 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:40,200 But but I I don't know what what people do to replace it. 52 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,520 Did people do anything? Did they watch old Mart? 53 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,600 Like did they watch like replays of old marches? 54 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:50,720 I'm not too sure, but but I hope no matter what your religion is, 55 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:56,000 gender, sexuality, whether you like tea or not, I hope that you 56 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,000 just enjoyed the weekend, you know, I just hope that you had a 57 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,720 good time. And listen, we're at this point 58 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,640 where the money towed. He's he's got some podcasts in 59 00:03:05,640 --> 00:03:06,880 the bank. You know what I mean? 60 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,040 Because, well, that's not all he has in the bank. 61 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,360 Let's be honest, you know, we're talking about a lot of cash. 62 00:03:11,640 --> 00:03:14,800 But then. But yeah, I'm just, you know, 63 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,160 the, the, the baby is. And that's what I'm not calling 64 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,600 myself the baby. But, you know, there's a baby 65 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,040 arriving who knows when, hopefully pretty soon. 66 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,680 So some of the podcasts are, you know, might have recorded an 67 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,000 episode a couple of weeks ago, or it might be coming out at the 68 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,080 time it was record. Everything's a little bit all 69 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,280 over the place and nothing more so than my hair. 70 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,200 So let's just establish that and let's move forward, brothers and 71 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,320 sisters, because the sun is shining and it's and it's a good 72 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,440 time. It's a good time. 73 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,880 Yeah, it's I said it's a good time, but it's also like a weird 74 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,640 time whenever you see now the people are going back out to the 75 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:03,120 bars and restaurants and I think like, so I was talking to my 76 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,800 wife's brother-in-law, which means he sounds very destined 77 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,000 from me, but he isn't. But there's he isn't my 78 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,760 brother-in-law. And I always get into arguments 79 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,960 with people over what relation peoples are to them. 80 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,640 Does that does that make sense? Like, I know it's a weird thing 81 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,240 to pick arguments with, but whenever someone's like, Oh no, 82 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:21,600 that means he's your brother-in-law. 83 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,400 It doesn't because he's, he's married to my sister-in-law. 84 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,400 So that doesn't make him my brother-in-law because then they 85 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,480 would be my brother and sister-in-law and then they'd be 86 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,840 married and they'd be brother and sister-in-law. 87 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,280 So make them sound like they were brother and sister. 88 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,840 And that's really what it is. And then he was telling me he 89 00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:41,720 went, he went out, went out for a few drinks and it sounded like 90 00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:44,280 it didn't. It's a bit like stand up coming 91 00:04:44,280 --> 00:04:50,240 back, like I've spent the last few months passionately talking 92 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,960 about the fact that I need stand up to come back and I'm missing 93 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,680 stand up so bad. And I do want it to come back in 94 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,840 any I do, any sort of gig in any form at the minute. 95 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:04,640 But then, but I think I want it to be as close to what it was as 96 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,880 possible, which is probably asking for a lot because when 97 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,480 you hear about the way bars are at the minute, then, you know, 98 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,400 it's spread out. You're not allowed music on. 99 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,400 It just sounds a little bit eerie or something. 100 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,680 So. So I want it back properly. 101 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,720 And until then, I shan't go. No, I shan't. 102 00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:27,080 But it is quite funny the way the government, they're like, 103 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,360 yeah, the bars are open restaurant, you know, if I can 104 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,240 tear away. But but your boy might not be 105 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,720 able to, you know, be in the hospital for for the birth. 106 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,560 So we're just trying to figure that out, trying to see what 107 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,720 medical degree I can do in the Open University website that's 108 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,400 going to, you know, get me into the hospital. 109 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,520 And then when they're like, Mr Todd, you have to leave. 110 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,240 I'll go. In fact, I think you'll find I 111 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,320 have to scrub up because I'm about to, I'm going to do a knee 112 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,080 replacement in 10 minutes here. And then I just go and do that 113 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:57,560 really badly and then just hang about. 114 00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,120 I don't know, I need to figure that out. 115 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,080 I want like, because here's the thing, I can't really sneak into 116 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,480 places because I'm not prepared to be uncomfortable. 117 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,320 So I can't like I can't go do like a hospital border and go 118 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:15,040 listen mate, if I give you £50, will you will me in in this 119 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,080 laundry basket, you know, sneak me in because it sounds good. 120 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,240 But then again, I wouldn't be willing to like, you know, 121 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,400 wouldn't I wouldn't want to be in the laundry basket in case 122 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,640 anything smell bad. And that's why during like the 123 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,640 great Escape or, you know, if I was in prison, that's why I 124 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,680 would never be able to like get out because what if I was going 125 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,520 to escape and then one of the guys it was arranged and it was 126 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,440 like, right, we're escaping here and we're we're jumping in there 127 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,640 one later Corsa, there's seven of us and he's like, I know, but 128 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,240 we're all just going to like, come on, mate, we need to all 129 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,520 pack in and get out of here. It's the only car I could get. 130 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,760 I go no, because my knees would be all close together and I'm 131 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,200 Willie be uncomfortable. So, so I think that's why, 132 00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,200 that's hopefully why I'm, you know, I'm going to stay out of 133 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,800 gaol basically and, and never go in so that whenever I go to 134 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,840 escape, I don't have to be packed in. 135 00:07:06,840 --> 00:07:08,760 And that's, this is lockdown chat. 136 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,080 This is what lockdown does to you. 137 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,160 And hope you guys are because this is the real me. 138 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,840 You know, I've got boy band hair and I'm going on tangents and 139 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,280 it's a good time. It's a really good time. 140 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,120 I've got loads of listeners questions today, listeners 141 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,680 questions today and I'm going to get through as much of them as 142 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:31,520 possible because in that, like I was going to say something 143 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,000 really emotional there because I swallowed and then answer as 144 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,800 many listeners questions as possible because I love you 145 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,480 guys. I do love you guys, but but I've 146 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,200 been doing loads of like guest episodes. 147 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,960 So I haven't been doing the the listeners questions on those, 148 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:49,640 but there. But we'll get through a load 149 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,040 today and we'll, we'll do a bit of TripAdvisor for a bit of fun 150 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,800 and, and then, and then we'll just go, we'll just go back to 151 00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,800 whatever we're doing. It feels like not lockdown is 152 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,360 over, but well, basically it feels like a lot of people are 153 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:07,800 like back to normal, which, which is great in a lot of ways, 154 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:12,160 but, but I know it's, it's like this weird limbo at the minute. 155 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,440 We're like no one, nobody, nobody knows what's what. 156 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,480 Like people are like fucking, you know, they're like guys or 157 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,480 people don't know people cutting their grass 7 times a day. 158 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,520 I don't know what's happening. All I all I know is that I wear 159 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,120 shorts now and I'm probably always going to wear shorts 160 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,600 after lockdown. And if that's the content you're 161 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,080 here for, you're welcome. If you want to know whether I'm 162 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,280 going to wear trousers or shorts, it's most likely always 163 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,919 going to be shorts. And I miss stand up so bad. 164 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,600 And then, and I don't know if I was saying this recently, but I 165 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,960 borrowed a microphone stand and cable and it is now in the spare 166 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,400 room in my house. Sorry, one of the spare, one of 167 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,160 the 98 spare rooms in my house. And I've just been doing stand 168 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:59,400 up to no one with YouTube crowd sounds. 169 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,120 So there you go. That's a good that's a good 170 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:05,240 mental image of a guy, just Tom Hanks and Castaway just doing a 171 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:06,920 full set to himself. But I don't know. 172 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,960 I need, I need to like, I need to express myself, darling. 173 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,840 And I, you know, that's the way, that's the way I do it. 174 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:18,560 Let me take another sip of tea. Oh, that's red hot shit. 175 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,640 Before we before we move on, which is one of my catch phrases 176 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,840 on the podcast, let me plug me and Dave Elliott as well as 177 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,640 doing the boy town podcast, which you should listen to. 178 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:34,000 It comes out every Thursday and genuinely is, I think the 179 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,320 silliest podcast in the land. You know, tea with me is pretty 180 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:38,840 silly. But then again, sometimes we get 181 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,360 guests on and sometimes we get deep or whatever. 182 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:46,000 We don't really, but but Boy Town is just two best friends 183 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,880 just being really, really silly and weird. 184 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,480 And we're doing it over Zoom at the minute, which is great for 185 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,880 solo podcasts. But whenever you're like Co 186 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,840 hosting with someone, like I think it's OK for interviews as 187 00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,000 well. But when you're Co hosting with 188 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,840 someone, it's difficult because you don't know when to jump in 189 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,000 and stuff like that. When to say something you don't 190 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,320 want to talk over the other person. 191 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:09,080 So what I'm saying is Boy Town has actually been very, very 192 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,840 good in lockdown. And once we get back into the 193 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:16,040 studio, I honestly think that the Boy Town is gonna like get 194 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:17,600 bigger and bigger and better and better. 195 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,040 So check it out if you have them. 196 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,360 But what I want to plug is also me and Dave do the Rave Lockdown 197 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:26,000 on BBC Sounds, which is called the Shane Todd Show, but we sort 198 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,800 of rechristened at the Rave lockdown and, and it's it's 199 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,680 available. It's like a download every week 200 00:10:31,680 --> 00:10:34,120 on BBC Sound. So it's a way like we're like in 201 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,600 between being on Radio Ulster in in between slots. 202 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,760 So we're just sort of keeping the momentum going on BBC Sound. 203 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:45,080 So we did an R&B week last week, which was very, very sexy. 204 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,960 And as we talked about in the episode, brings me back to like 205 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:53,920 being in Sky, you know, and like 2002. 206 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:59,320 Let me see. Any time I talk about like R&B 207 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,480 clubs or just R&B in general or Sky, I just get a little bit. 208 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:10,160 I think that was let me see. I think that was like I nearly 209 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,200 said to the year 2000, which it wasn't because I would have been 210 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,440 12 and whenever I was 12 it looked like I was 6. 211 00:11:15,680 --> 00:11:17,360 And I definitely was not clubbing. 212 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,360 Although I like the idea of just me and a couple of pals from 213 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,240 school on each other's shoulders and a big long coat walk walking 214 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:25,960 the nightclubs and belt trying to get into Dempsey's. 215 00:11:26,680 --> 00:11:33,680 Ah, hello, doorman, you know, But sky, it takes me back to sky 216 00:11:33,680 --> 00:11:37,640 and it's all that kind of music. Jay Sean, down, baby, are you 217 00:11:37,680 --> 00:11:44,120 down, down, down, down, down, down, down. 218 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,600 And that'll probably, that'll probably get this podcast taken 219 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,880 off Apple podcast because they'll listen to it. 220 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,840 The head of Apple listen to it and he'll go that he's put Jay 221 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,440 Sean in that. But no, it was actually me doing 222 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,440 it. So there you go also. 223 00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,520 And you know what? I'm not going to apologise for 224 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,600 this podcast being all over the place because by now you guys 225 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,640 know me very well. You know the podcast, you know 226 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,120 what it is? And a lot of it is just it's 227 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,760 just realness. You know, a lot of it's 228 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,640 realness. You know, there's no, there's no 229 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,040 presenter voice here. You know, I said that for the 230 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:20,520 radio where I talk, I like this. But and there's a that's what 231 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,920 you get. There's a dog barking couple of 232 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,680 gardens over. OK, and as soon as this podcast 233 00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:30,000 over, I'm going to form the council because you know, the 234 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:36,160 money told rats on everyone. That's a very money told thing 235 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,400 to always just be just be tightening people just a 236 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:44,080 complete grass money told always, always phone BSNI 237 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:49,280 anonymously giving them tips that may or not may or may not 238 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,160 be true. You know, like Dave Elliott, 239 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,520 this fake hand sanitizer. I shouldn't start things like 240 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,320 that. Because remember that escalated 241 00:12:57,560 --> 00:13:00,040 whenever at the start of lockdown, I said in a tweet that 242 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,160 a bit of a picture of Dave and said that he sells fake hand 243 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:04,840 sanitizer. And then for some reason all 244 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,720 these 11 and 12 year olds start throwing them online and 245 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,000 messaging with loads of abuse. And I had to put out a thing a 246 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,800 bit like a statement being like, guys, I just made this up 247 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,720 because it does sound like a weird thing to make up. 248 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,800 I was like this guy selling fake hand sanitizer, but it's 249 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,000 actually seaweed in his own smoke. 250 00:13:23,560 --> 00:13:26,440 And and it's weird that I had to basically put out a thing being 251 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,320 like, yeah, you know, it just reiterate it's not true. 252 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,960 But the damage was done because Dave said that friends of his 253 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,120 were like, here, our daughter heard you sell fake hand 254 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,080 sanitizer. And in a way, I enjoy that. 255 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:43,680 And I'm waiting for his revenge. What was he saying there about 256 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,640 something about realness, you know, which makes me sound like 257 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,680 some sort of rapper, but then I, I, I honestly don't know. 258 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,720 I honestly don't know. But that's what I'm saying, you 259 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,560 know, We, we just, we open it up. 260 00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,640 I open my heart up to this, to this podcast and, and it's real. 261 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,880 And we're just, we're just talking and hopefully you guys 262 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,600 are enjoying this because sometimes that's what it's, you 263 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,520 know, basically I'm your mommy and you don't live with me. 264 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,920 But sometimes when you come around, which is you listen to 265 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:13,280 this podcast, don't come around to my house. 266 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,880 Sometimes mommy is just wearing a velour tracksuit. 267 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,240 Like normally I'm done up. You guys know that I'm done up 268 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:24,200 with my little Ralph Lauren sweater, little chinos, we Uggs. 269 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,720 But sometimes, like this episode, Mummy is in a full 270 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,760 Juicy Couture velour tracksuit and she's wearing our Max and 271 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,160 she's got her feet up and she just can't be doing with it. 272 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:38,040 And that's what it is. So we're just going to ride that 273 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:39,280 wave and we're going to enjoy it. 274 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,120 We're going to do a TripAdvisor me and producer down. 275 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,480 We're supposed to do the Patreon today, but the sort of day it is 276 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,360 where we're kind of like, is something happening here? 277 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,520 I text him about 15 minutes ago and I was like, because we're 278 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,760 supposed to do this in about an hour's time, a Patreon episode, 279 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:56,640 and then I messed him. Was like, hey man, I think I've 280 00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:00,560 got an hour long window. Do you want to just do the 281 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,360 podcast now? And he's like, I can't make 282 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:06,000 because you've given me 27 second notice, you know, and he 283 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,120 requires much more than that. Also, there's a family. 284 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:10,480 For a second there above my head. 285 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,760 I saw it on the screen and nearly let out a little bit of a 286 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,200 whimper, but luckily I didn't. So it's all good. 287 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,360 It wouldn't have been all good. I've had it, but I didn't, so 288 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:23,480 it's cool. What I'm going to do is, oh, no, 289 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:28,920 I, I mugged Dave off there. Yeah. 290 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,320 What I'm going to do is because everyone's kind of waiting for 291 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:41,640 news about the baby and, and I sent Dave a text this morning 292 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,640 and said, can I show you something like a little video? 293 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:48,480 And he said sure. And I sent him a video because 294 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:54,400 it's the 12th of July today of me with AI went on YouTube and 295 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,680 typed in loyalist marching band. And I walked him down my kitchen 296 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:02,080 pretending that a banana was a flute and that. 297 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,160 And I'm 32 years old and I'm about to be a father. 298 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,920 So that's life. That's life. 299 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,520 I'm asking Dave, can he come on my podcast for two minutes here? 300 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,560 I want to get Dave on just for a second. 301 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,400 I just want to, I just want to see if he's feeling good and 302 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,240 having a good time. And obviously you guys might 303 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,320 listen to boy tonnes. You might you might be familiar 304 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,680 with our relationship. But if not, I think it'd be a 305 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,240 nice time just to bring them on because this podcast we're 306 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,800 calling like end of term, you know what I mean? 307 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,760 Like this is just the last day of school. 308 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,760 I'm your teacher and I've basically said like, we're going 309 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,840 to do the lesson outside today. And that's the vibe that we're 310 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:42,080 bringing. Zippers let me interrupt the 311 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,160 podcast very quickly because we got ourselves a sponsor and it's 312 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,880 a pretty class one at that.

And let's just say it was worth 352 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,880 the wait.

Now there are way more, better 368 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:43,920 reviews. I need to point that out. 369 00:19:44,120 --> 00:19:47,280 But we're only interested in the people that just had a really 370 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,120 terrible time, and we're going to highlight those. 371 00:19:50,360 --> 00:19:52,280 I'm looking at one of the Game of Thrones tours. 372 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,240 I'm not going to say exactly which one it is because it's 373 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,800 probably a bit sly. And bear in mind there's nine 374 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,480 really bad, there's nine terrible reviews, 9 per reviews, 375 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,040 and there's 639 excellent reviews. 376 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:07,760 So that tells you that these are like isolated incidents and the 377 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,440 tour is actually very good. So I'm not doing anyone down, 378 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,120 which is a very old working class phrase of like, don't be 379 00:20:14,120 --> 00:20:17,160 doing any, don't do him down. You know, it's a, it's a phrase 380 00:20:17,360 --> 00:20:18,640 I like and I heard a lot growing up. 381 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,160 But then, but we're going to find the worst reviews here and 382 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,400 just celebrate people's fucking mentalness. 383 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:29,320 That's what we're going to do. Oh, starting with my own. 384 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,040 So yeah, these are people that go on the full Game of Thrones 385 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:34,760 tour. Now, I like Game of Thrones. 386 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,800 I've seen every episode and really enjoyed it. 387 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,880 But and once at the very start when Game of Thrones came out, I 388 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,360 was like, I wonder should I get a tattoo of like the Stark 389 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,080 house? And then I realised that I 390 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,480 shouldn't do that because that is silly. 391 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,640 And then I couple of years later got a tattoo in the back of my 392 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,920 leg because I lost a bet that says the Todd father. 393 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,040 So at least that was, you know, a serious one. 394 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,360 The first bad review here is from a guy called Omar Farooq. 395 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:07,440 Omar Farooq from Ankara, Turkey. I've, I think I've been to 396 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,080 Ankara in Turkey and it's a pretty sweet spot. 397 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,720 I really like it. I like Turkey in general. 398 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:16,200 I've been to Turkey twice and know people like dismiss it as 399 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:20,560 like holiday destination because everybody from here kind of went 400 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,840 there in like the late 90s and early naughties and then people 401 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,360 just don't really go anymore. But I had a good time and I 402 00:21:25,360 --> 00:21:28,440 found the Turkish people this I think there's a Turkish guy 403 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,560 there with a knife being like, hey man, defend us. 404 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:37,360 I had a great time in Turkey and met just the the friendliest 405 00:21:37,360 --> 00:21:45,080 people like the Turkish people and I friended this guy that 406 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,160 worked in a car rental place beside the hotel and not out of 407 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:52,320 context all sound weird but he was like in the hotel quite a 408 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:53,360 lot. And then I just could chatting 409 00:21:53,360 --> 00:21:56,800 to him and then me and him really headed off and it was it 410 00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,280 was a good time. And then whenever I was leaving, 411 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,440 like I was away with like friends and my girlfriend at the 412 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,640 time and we were like leaving and I just had a real emotional 413 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,120 goodbye with the guy. And you know, again, if we kiss, 414 00:22:10,120 --> 00:22:11,800 we kissed, you know, But that's the way it is. 415 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,240 Let me move on. Omar Farouk came over here from 416 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:17,880 Turkey to do the Game of Thrones tour. 417 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,720 He must have been absolutely buzzing but he did not have a 418 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,600 good time. And he starts his review with. 419 00:22:23,360 --> 00:22:25,520 It was the worst holiday experience in our life. 420 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,320 And never recommend to exclamation marks. 421 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,200 Me and my friend bought this tour for the 9th of August 422 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,720 because we trusted the rating but it was just a regret for us. 423 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,360 A rainy morning we met with the company. 424 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,320 Listen mate, you're in Northern Ireland OK? 425 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,640 What do you expects? Not all sunshine and rainbows. 426 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,600 Most of the time it's fucking sleet and and drizzle. 427 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,240 It was a big boss and we were 32. 428 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,920 And I don't know whether he means, I mean, I get the big 429 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,000 boss part, but I don't know whether he means we were 32 430 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,600 years old or there was 32 of them. 431 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,720 Because if you're age 32 and it's a big bus, I don't that 432 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,960 mean that's probably the perfect age to be in a big bus. 433 00:23:04,360 --> 00:23:06,560 You can, you can get up and down the stairs easy. 434 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,640 And also you've got a wee bit of life experience. 435 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,600 You know where to sit and all. You know that the cool guy sit 436 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,360 at the back. First it was OK. 437 00:23:13,360 --> 00:23:15,920 The driver talks us along the road but never comes with you 438 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,920 and stays in the bus. Yeah, the driver should stay at 439 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,080 the wheel of the bus made to be fair to him. 440 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,280 Anyway, we were visiting the points of Game of Thrones. 441 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:27,920 Right? So that's why you're there. 100% 442 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,440 Good. Start at a point which near the 443 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,360 sea, a Bulgarian girl was late about 5 minutes. 444 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,960 I mean, Omar, you don't need to. I feel like there might be a 445 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,520 Turkey Bulgaria rivalry because you don't need to point out she 446 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,560 was Bulgarian. She was late by 5 minutes. 447 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,680 Anything could have happened to her mate, anything. 448 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,440 The driver counted us and waited for her. 449 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,000 Yeah. I mean, that's that's fair 450 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:50,920 enough. Because what if she's like, Oh 451 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,400 my, what if she's like, Oh my God, some fella just tried to, 452 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:58,080 you know, stab me in the leg whenever I was in an apple 453 00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:59,880 green. They're getting a steep up. 454 00:24:01,360 --> 00:24:03,680 The driver counted us and waited for her. 455 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,240 I mean, sensible from the driver. 456 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,400 Good so far. Next point was the Dark Hedges. 457 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,680 The driver told us to meet at half 12. 458 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,600 We walked, took photo and came back about 12:32, but the bus 459 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,000 was not in place. I mean, I do like that from the 460 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,760 driver and that's what you're going to get from a Belfast bus 461 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,840 driver. If he says 10:30 and you're 462 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,160 there 1032, guess what, You were late and he told you what time 463 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,040 he was going to be leaving at and you weren't there for it. 464 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,720 So at the minute Omar, the blame is fully on you. 465 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:34,480 Here we were two later, OK? Two minutes later, 5 Chinese 466 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,400 guests came too. Why does Omar know everybody's 467 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,960 nationality and why is he checking everybody's passport? 468 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,040 That's on the bus passport please. 469 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,080 How do you work for? You work for the police mate, 470 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:48,120 You work for the border? No, no, I just like no OK. 471 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,520 They were very surprised also. So essentially Omar and his mate 472 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,200 and five Chinese guys are absolutely fuming. 473 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:57,680 Only two minutes. We relate. 474 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,200 But what did you just we relate exactly? 475 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,120 And we waited with the guests for about 5 minutes. 476 00:25:03,120 --> 00:25:05,560 In the previous point, we thought that the bus would come 477 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,840 and take us because we were seven and we didn't know what to 478 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,200 do. I mean, Omer has changed age 479 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,920 here multiple times. He was 32 getting on the bus and 480 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,160 now he's 7. So I can understand why he 481 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,480 wasn't having a good time because you would be scared and 482 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,560 confused in a different country with just junior main. 483 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,640 If you're both 7 and there's no bus there and you're supposed to 484 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,920 be on the bus. We understood that the driver 485 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,080 left us on our own. Good. 486 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,840 It was a rainy day in the Dark Hedges is not a central place 487 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,080 made nowhere Northern Ireland. The central place, Belfast City 488 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:35,960 centre is in central. Really when you think about it, 489 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:37,440 if you're from any other place, you will go. 490 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:41,080 This is sort of the countryside. First, we couldn't find a taxi 491 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,920 or any other transport. We asked other tour companies 492 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,520 and they said that our tour bus can ring and come again. 493 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:48,960 We called the company and they never helped us. 494 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,000 We asked for the driver's mobile number. 495 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,320 He said that we don't need the mobile and take care of 496 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:58,840 ourselves made you, you meant to pick us up here. 497 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:00,080 Is there any chance you can come back for us? 498 00:26:00,360 --> 00:26:01,880 You don't need my number. Delete it. 499 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:03,200 And here take care of yourselves. 500 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:05,120 I mean, that might be a nice bit of the end. 501 00:26:05,120 --> 00:26:08,280 Take, take care of yourself. We found a driver. 502 00:26:08,360 --> 00:26:10,000 I mean, why? I mean, not as a phrase we say 503 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,000 in Northern Ireland that's supposed to be like nice. 504 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,000 But at the end of the day it's basically saying I'm done with 505 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:18,000 you or I may take care of yourself means like I'm fucking 506 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,280 done. We found a hotel, the 507 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,040 receptionist helped us get a taxi. 508 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:30,120 They charge us 30 lbs for each taxi because they said that the 509 00:26:30,120 --> 00:26:31,920 price is for arrival and departure. 510 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,400 I don't understand what that means, but fair play. 511 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,200 They look the local taxi drivers just trying to get a few quid 512 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,280 for Christmas being like no mate, that's for arrival on 513 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:40,680 departure. I know what I'm only trying to 514 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,200 go somewhere. I know, but you only need to 515 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,560 arrive at it. All right, well, can you just 516 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,520 charge me for arrival? I know what we need to leave 517 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,840 here to get there. So it's arrival on departure 518 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,520 mate, I don't understand. I know why we've been sitting 519 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:59,040 here talking about this metres been going at 1750 and you have 520 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,160 to go Halford me in the MOT for this taxi. 521 00:27:01,360 --> 00:27:06,280 What we catch the bus the giants Causeway at half two, but we 522 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,680 couldn't visit the most important place on this tour. 523 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:13,200 The driver mocked us when he saw us 100%. 524 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,960 When all these international tourists who have like had to 525 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,320 pay loads of money and they've been lost and haven't made it on 526 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,600 the bus whenever they get back 1000% the bus driver went oh 527 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,400 there they are. Let's keep what was keeping 528 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,920 news. No 1000% they went nice. 529 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:33,480 You used to join us. They are And he got everyone on 530 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:37,480 on the bus to give them a round of applause 100% but we. 531 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,360 What do you mean death bastard? What is death bastard? 532 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:42,360 But we couldn't visit the most important. 533 00:27:42,360 --> 00:27:45,600 Yeah Later the driver did an explanation. 534 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,920 He told us that he can't stop there, but he would count the 535 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:51,760 bus and try and stay 2 minutes more. 536 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,680 Or we never recommend this tour in Belfast. 537 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,680 They can leave you at any point without information. 538 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,600 We paid 30 points or extra for a taxi and we couldn't visit the 539 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:06,280 most important place. I mean, yeah, do sort of feel 540 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,000 bad for the guys. We'll do. 541 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:15,360 We'll do one more here. Let me see. 542 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,120 Right. OK, here's one. 543 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,880 This is from Serena. It doesn't say where she's from. 544 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,360 To begin with, the seats in the bus were very crowded and even 545 00:28:29,360 --> 00:28:32,080 more uncomfortable. If you're taller than one metre 546 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,000 75, then you probably wouldn't like to sit in the chair for 547 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,680 more than 10 hours a day. I mean, 1 metre 75. 548 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,760 Talk to me in feet, Serena. I have no idea what 1 metre 75 549 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:42,160 is. Does that mean you're 4 foot 3 550 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,040 or 8 foot 9? I have no idea. 551 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,520 What's even more unbearable was our driver Troy. 552 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,320 I mean here's the thing, that's not his real name. 553 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,920 He's giving you fake name because nobody in Northern 554 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:58,200 Ireland is called Troy. High school quarterbacks are 555 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,680 called Troy. In fact, literally I think Zac 556 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:03,600 Efron in High School Musical is called Troy. 557 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,440 My name is not Bolton dad, it's Troy. 558 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,320 And that's and that's High School Musical banter for the 559 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,920 lads are he was very talkative. A windbag. 560 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:19,320 What the fuck is a windbag? Apparently called a driver 561 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,360 called Troy. Someone's called him a windbag. 562 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,000 And a windbag, according to the dictionary, is a person who 563 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:28,160 talks at length but says any. But a windbag, according to this 564 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,080 dictionary, is a person who talks at length but says little 565 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,400 of any value. Hey, that is everybody that 566 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,440 lives in this part of the world. How much do we talk? 567 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,360 Oh, you know yourself. Anyway, at the end of the day, 568 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,440 it's all good. No, that's what we we say stuff 569 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:46,760 that doesn't mean anything. Troy was very talkative. 570 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,480 He was a windbag. He never stopped talking in the 571 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:54,520 trip while driving. 50% of his content was related to the 572 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,080 theme, the sites of Game of Thrones. 573 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,320 He said he was the driver for a few of the actors and actresses, 574 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,480 but there was no gossip or anything substantial. 575 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,520 That's because if Troy is from here, he Falkland says nothing. 576 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,360 So you want you want gossip on all the actors he was driving 577 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:13,320 around. When Troy knows Toto he said 578 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:18,520 nothing and the other have the other half was his own lame 579 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,800 jokes. That's just a Northern Irish 580 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,640 guy. No need to mess with this 581 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,800 podcast is no need to mention how dangerous it is to drive and 582 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,000 talk at the same time. I mean it's not if he's looking 583 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,360 at the road you can drive and talk at the same time. 584 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,120 When he finally stopped talking, we were on our way back to the 585 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,960 drop off. It was 20 minutes and he played 586 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,920 loud music when he was silent. I mean, what I like is hective 587 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:43,880 this guy called Troy just this big, like 50 year old dad doing 588 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:47,080 a Game of Thrones to her being like I sure I used to drive Cat 589 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,160 Harrington about no, and all the tourists are like, Oh my God, 590 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:51,840 you know, is there any good stories? 591 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:59,000 Fuck off, turn to music when I was young and see my life is so 592 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,480 wonderful. He's just Sarah. 593 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,560 Can you concentrate in the road? Fucking hold that. 594 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:14,920 Wheeler gets too close. That's King's London in there. 595 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:16,960 So it is, is it? Can you tell us a little bit 596 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:18,120 more about it? Fuck up. 597 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:23,240 I'm the scat man. You're on the wrong side of the 598 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:32,440 road, Troy. Enjoyable and it was super bumpy 599 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,600 since he never slowed down for any of the speed bumps. 600 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,760 Listen, it sounds like Troy is running a rave on wheels. 601 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,680 It sounds like the disco bus is going to destination fucking 602 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,640 rave and you're all on board and what you should do is just enjoy 603 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,240 the fact that you know this is wrong. 604 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:51,600 This person paid for a Buster for it Says here £35 for £35. 605 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,440 You wanted to go and see and hear about Game of Thrones. 606 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,320 He's done that, but also he's providing you a soundtrack. 607 00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,080 He's lied about his name which is funny as well. 608 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:00,560 Probably lied about his age as well. 609 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,080 And what's enjoyable is he's just going full speed over the 610 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,320 speed bumps. He sounds like a fucking legend 611 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,120 so sorry if you can't handle that, but that's just the way we 612 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:13,480 are here. Also, the price you pay for the 613 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:15,360 tour doesn't include the fare for the caricory. 614 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,080 Rope bridge or lunch. Bring a fucking sandwich. 615 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:23,920 The driver sells both. He sells lunch in a specific 616 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,840 restaurant with a specific menu. I mean, that does sound dodgy. 617 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:33,280 Troy kept irritatingly pushing us on paying for the lunch to an 618 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,560 extent that we were so pissed off we didn't want to pay for 619 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,000 anything. Besides, he purposely brought us 620 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,280 to a restaurant that was located in the middle of nowhere. 621 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:42,960 This is not a free of choice, but a twisted demand. 622 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,520 Yeah, I mean, to be fair, he probably was taking on the, 623 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:46,680 like, his mate's house or something. 624 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,360 Just like on the way home, like just off the motorway in 625 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,520 Ballamina. No, this is a that's a Michelin 626 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:59,720 star restaurant, just as mate. I did, isn't it? 627 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,600 I didn't 150 Rustler burgers at once. 628 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,440 He's not America. He's love your McDonald's. 629 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,520 Finally, my boyfriend and I are Asians. 630 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:16,440 OK? We were among some other Asians 631 00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,120 on the bus. It's very distinctive that Troy 632 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,240 did not treat us in the same manner he did the other 633 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,800 Caucasians. To say he's racist is definitely 634 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,680 too harsh, but some sort of discrimination was surely 635 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,280 against us. Our English is pretty perfect, 636 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:34,360 but he said there was. So there was a language. 637 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,160 He said that there was a language barrier. 638 00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:40,520 Finally, when he stopped talking, it was on our way back. 639 00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:42,560 Troy was just absolutely knackered. 640 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:47,240 Like so if you're an Asian who's taller than one metre 75 and 641 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,640 doesn't like talking of drivers who bounced the car when he 642 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,560 stopped talking, you should definitely not take Troy's car. 643 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:57,440 I mean that is their slogan and IA 1000% want to get on Troy's 644 00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,880 bus. I mean when lockdown is over, me 645 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,520 and all my mates are going to do the Game of Thrones tour and as 646 00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:05,240 soon as we get on I'm going to say Troy. 647 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:07,720 Be yourself. And I know you're not called 648 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,639 Troy, and I guarantee you his real names Roy, because he 649 00:34:10,639 --> 00:34:12,080 doesn't. He doesn't have. 650 00:34:12,639 --> 00:34:14,639 He's panicked. What's your name, Roy? 651 00:34:14,639 --> 00:34:22,960 I made fucking Troy. Troy should be like a 21 year 652 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:27,560 old guy from California in an Abercrombie and Fitch T-shirt, 653 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,520 slightly long surfer hair and a beaded necklace. 654 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:35,040 Troy as in a 50 year old bus driver with a short sleeve white 655 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:41,960 shirt, tattoos and a Man United necklace. 656 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:46,199 You know, fair play to Troy. Troy, I want to get in your bus 657 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:50,120 to, to, to, to turn the tunes up. 658 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:55,960 Love that, absolutely love that. I get I don't need to do that. 659 00:34:55,960 --> 00:35:01,800 I don't need to do the tour to know that you know that. 660 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:03,840 You guys know the money. Toad has a lot of money. 661 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:07,920 I bet any money in the world that Troy finishes the tour, if 662 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,400 you're good crack and he thinks you're good crack with a Game of 663 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:14,120 Thrones dance remix and he find he finds the road in the country 664 00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:18,920 with the most speed bumps possible, people getting 665 00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:26,040 whiplash and all those shoes. Love it, Troy, I love you. 666 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,360 Fantastic, fantastic. I really I really enjoyed 667 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,280 bringing back TripAdvisor there. That was a lot of fun. 668 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:39,560 We've got listeners questions. That's that's good too. 669 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:41,240 I said to Dave, can you come on the podcast? 670 00:35:41,240 --> 00:35:42,840 He said account we're heading to the farm. 671 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,600 That's just the way he does. That's the way he does it. 672 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:52,520 But yes, good few listeners questions here. 673 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:56,440 Gary Fletcher says, they say you shouldn't meet your heroes. 674 00:35:56,720 --> 00:35:58,320 So should you meet your heroes or not? 675 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,080 Hope you're well, bro, Gary. Hope you're well too, bro, and 676 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:02,880 hope you are. Gary Taylor Fletcher used to 677 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:04,120 play for Blackburn and Leicester. 678 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:06,440 They say you shouldn't meet your heroes. 679 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,600 So should you? Yeah, probably. 680 00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:13,840 But you probably shouldn't expect a heroic experience with 681 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:18,560 your hero, if that makes sense. So if I saw like, who's my hero? 682 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:26,160 Julian Simmons No, I've never really been like I love football 683 00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:27,640 growing up. So like say Roy Keane or 684 00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:31,160 someone. Roy Keane was a hero man growing 685 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:35,400 up and I think he's like great footballer and I would love to 686 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:39,040 like, I don't even know if I'd love to meet him. 687 00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:43,400 That's the thing. Because what is the expectation 688 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,040 that what's the reality of it going to be? 689 00:36:45,240 --> 00:36:47,400 Alright Roy, big fan. Thanks, mate. 690 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:50,440 You know, you can have like a pleasant conversation with them, 691 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,560 but I don't really know. I think it's almost bad. 692 00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:58,080 Like sometimes if you see like a big celebrity or whatever, say 693 00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:02,280 like I'm in London or New York on a trip or whatever and I see 694 00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:06,440 someone famous, sometimes it's like, you know, you give like a 695 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,160 we not sometimes all you need to do is give like a we nod like, 696 00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:13,080 yeah, kid from Jerry Maguire. All right, buddy. 697 00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:15,880 So I don't know. But yeah, I think you probably 698 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,400 should. You should meet your heroes. 699 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,080 Yeah, fucking why not? You can pretend like some people 700 00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:23,560 probably pretend that they don't think that that would be a cool 701 00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:25,320 thing, you know? But fuck it. 702 00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:29,440 If you have a hero and you get a chance to chat to them and it, 703 00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,040 you know, if they're your hero, they should be like probably 704 00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:35,680 like dead on enough to have a nice chat. 705 00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:37,840 So yeah, you probably should meet, but it depends who your 706 00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,480 hero is. Like, you know, if your hero, 707 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:45,840 for example, is Joseph Freitzel, don't meet them and change your 708 00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,280 change your guidelines for what a hero should be. 709 00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:52,920 Connor Cochrane says. Dalton, Green tea. 710 00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,280 We've talked about it before. It's each to their own. 711 00:37:55,600 --> 00:38:01,680 It's each to their own. But at the same time, OK, you 712 00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:02,720 know, you're in. You're in. 713 00:38:02,720 --> 00:38:05,840 But at the same time, we'll try and get you on the regular tea. 714 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,400 But yeah. But at the same time as that, 715 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,400 don't let anybody tell you what you can and can't drink. 716 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:14,040 Live your life, do you? Love is love TST the best way I 717 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:19,440 can put it love you bro Ben says how does one pull off curtains 718 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,640 like the money told himself listen I'm not yeah I have 719 00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:26,600 curtains but it's only like you know those windows with which is 720 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:30,760 1 curtain straight across that's the way it is. 721 00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,760 But all you do is you believe in yourself, you back yourself and 722 00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,600 you go through that stage where it's kind of like a wee bit 723 00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:38,840 longer than normal, so you can't style it as well. 724 00:38:39,240 --> 00:38:43,880 And then basically you're, you're crossing the desert to 725 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:48,000 get to the pond. I've said that like it's a 726 00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:51,600 really, really inspirational phrase and I don't understand 727 00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,920 what it means. But what I mean is if you walk 728 00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:58,880 through enough shit, you're going to get to the T, you know 729 00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,160 what I mean? So I'm at this point where I, I 730 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:02,600 can fucking do what I want with this. 731 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:07,160 Do I get the back and sides tidied up or they just grow it 732 00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:07,800 out? I don't know. 733 00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:09,520 And I genuinely am enjoying the journey. 734 00:39:09,720 --> 00:39:14,240 I think I look CUTE sheeny boy QQ and everybody else knows that 735 00:39:14,240 --> 00:39:16,400 I do because that's one thing you can't deny about the kid. 736 00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:21,040 You can't deny as a cute boy like 100% or man, if you want to 737 00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,680 say because I'm 32 probably better and less creepy. 738 00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:31,320 But you can't deny that the guys cute like you know, it's it's 739 00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:34,120 what it is one of those things. Yeah, my eyes can get a little 740 00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:38,040 bit too puffy sometimes, but that's just a byproduct. 741 00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:42,840 And that's, you know, that's just another example of you if 742 00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:44,960 you're gonna walk through the desert to get to the pond. 743 00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:47,640 So make it out. We will. 744 00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:48,720 And maybe I can. Let me. 745 00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:50,840 Let me see, Ben, what you've got going on here. 746 00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:52,200 Let me see. Oh, no. 747 00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:53,320 That's. Do you know why? 748 00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:54,560 Do you know why I'm such an old guy? 749 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:58,920 Because that was a screenshot that I took a couple of days ago 750 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,760 of all the questions. And then I tried to click on 751 00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,920 your profile to see what was happening with your hair. 752 00:40:05,720 --> 00:40:08,720 And then I realised that I, I can't do that because it's a 753 00:40:08,720 --> 00:40:10,800 picture and technology doesn't work like that. 754 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:12,720 But I hope everyone's enjoying the curtains. 755 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:20,320 Patrick Quinn, who is also the artist formerly known as Belfast 756 00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,600 Guy in China. But I think if I'm not wrong, 757 00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:24,960 he's going through a rebrand here. 758 00:40:26,240 --> 00:40:28,120 That's what we do sometimes. You know, I used to just be 759 00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:31,040 known as she and she and Todd. She and she and Todd. 760 00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,520 That's my middle name, which a lot of people don't know and I 761 00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:36,520 change it up and I was like, hey, start calling me the tall 762 00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:38,320 father. The money to Cheney boy, QQ man, 763 00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:43,040 boy, cheeky. What goal would you feel very 764 00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,640 proud to say you achieved in 2020 as you look back in New 765 00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:49,080 Year's Eve with a drinking hand? Also, can you say toy boat 10 766 00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,480 times very fast. Best of luck with the baby. 767 00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:53,960 Hope you're excited and ready Will be an amazing year for you. 768 00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:58,240 Patrick. I appreciate you, brother, for 769 00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:02,200 for being a for being part of the podcast, for firing in a 770 00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,920 question every week, for listening, for bringing good 771 00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:08,000 questions. And I'm just for being a Belfast 772 00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:09,240 guy in China. I don't know if you're still 773 00:41:09,240 --> 00:41:10,400 injured. Maybe that's why maybe you had 774 00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,000 to leave China because you were trying to spread the message of 775 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,920 the podcast too much and the Chinese got more like, listen, 776 00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:18,080 that's not the message we want to convey. 777 00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:19,640 We want to just convey socialism. 778 00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:21,360 And I don't know if they are socialists there. 779 00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,680 I've tried to talk about politics and I don't, I don't 780 00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:27,600 know if that's right or wrong, but but what goal would I love 781 00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:31,000 the look back and say achieved in 2020? 782 00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:41,320 I think, I think in 2020 it wouldn't be bad to just say that 783 00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:45,360 you kept your shit together. Do you know what I mean? 784 00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:52,600 I think I think it would be OK just to say, listen, I ticked 785 00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:54,480 over. No, fuck that. 786 00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:58,480 You know, I was going to say it'd be OK just to say like I 787 00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:04,680 just got through it. But I would love to say I from a 788 00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:09,920 like career point of view that in lockdown I wrote a lot of 789 00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:14,000 material, tried to always get better at stand up. 790 00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:25,520 What else shot ATV show? You know, I am like think I 791 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:30,560 underplay stuff quite a bit because I think that's just kind 792 00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:38,440 of what we do here is, is under play stuff and maybe I should 793 00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:40,240 stop doing that. But at the same time, you know, 794 00:42:40,240 --> 00:42:42,600 I joke about, you know, the money told and all that kind of 795 00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:45,960 thing. But yeah, I'm trying to find 796 00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,120 something relevant to what I'm saying. 797 00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:49,200 I'm bringing up in a second here. 798 00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:54,720 I shot ATV show previously with Shane Todd. 799 00:42:54,720 --> 00:42:57,040 I'd done a pilot last year. It was repeated at the start of 800 00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:02,520 lockdown. Did well shot ATV show and and 801 00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:06,600 it was just so before we had a crew of like 25 people roughly 802 00:43:07,240 --> 00:43:09,200 and and way more than that worked on the show. 803 00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:14,360 And this time it was me, my producer Mark, who was who was 804 00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:17,800 directing to and Seamus, our cameraman. 805 00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:25,000 So it was a crew of two and me and then and it's a show that I 806 00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:30,240 don't think from the little bits and pieces I saw at the time, I 807 00:43:30,240 --> 00:43:33,400 don't think you'll look at it and go, God, they shot that with 808 00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:37,240 just three people in lockdown with like no run up to it. 809 00:43:37,240 --> 00:43:41,200 Basically. You know, that's just the way TV 810 00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:46,680 kind of went over lockdown where I think every broadcaster across 811 00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,280 the world probably was like, we need stuff to go out. 812 00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:51,240 We need to get stuff done even though it's locked down. 813 00:43:51,240 --> 00:43:53,600 So what do you have? And we said we'd like to do a 814 00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:55,560 series of that. They they were up for it. 815 00:43:55,680 --> 00:44:00,800 And I'm not, I'm not ever going to be like when it's out, I'm 816 00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:02,720 not going to bear in mind we shot this on lockdown. 817 00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:07,480 What I mean is I'm just, I'm proud of the people who worked 818 00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:12,000 on it, including myself, that we had like very little run up to 819 00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:15,520 do in an entire series. And we just, we just did it. 820 00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:17,120 We just did it. We got it done. 821 00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:20,280 I think it was funny at a really good time doing it. 822 00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:26,000 But at the same time, it's like, it's like on to the almost like 823 00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:28,920 on to the next thing. But I think if I took time to 824 00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:32,000 think about it, I would be like pretty proud of myself for, for 825 00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,880 doing that. And I think, I think people 826 00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:36,920 will, will enjoy it. I hope they do. 827 00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:40,200 And Patrick appreciate that as always. 828 00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:52,040 And I, I got the, yeah, I, I, I had a, we had an e-mail at 829 00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,880 tmbpodcast@gmail.com. Get in touch with us if there's 830 00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:59,440 anything you want to talk about from a little gentleman called 831 00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:02,120 Noah Battlelord who said. I want to say I love the 832 00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:04,000 podcast, that I really appreciate the effort you and 833 00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,160 your team put into producing such a high quality product. 834 00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:09,120 I don't think shout out to your thing, but I figured out this 835 00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:11,920 was worth a shot. Listen, just fucking team me 836 00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:14,680 bloggers, thegmail.com. Nothing's really off the table. 837 00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:19,080 My boyfriend Phillip's birthday is coming up in mid-july. 838 00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:21,280 I was hoping he'd get a mention for you in the podcast. 839 00:45:21,720 --> 00:45:24,600 He's a Belfast guy in China, but not the Belfast guy in China. 840 00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,120 Ah, shit, right. I thought Belfast. 841 00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,160 Have we just figured out that there's two Belfast guys in 842 00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:33,520 China? If you guys aren't best friends, 843 00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:36,160 why not? Because there's two Belfast guys 844 00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:38,360 in China that listen to this podcast and that means that in 845 00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:41,480 China, two people listen to this podcast and I'm absolutely 846 00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:44,880 buzzing with that. He's a Belfast guy in China, but 847 00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:48,600 not the Belfast guy in China. I like the idea that that that's 848 00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:51,600 his Twitter bio, A Belfast guy in China, but not the Belfast 849 00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:53,280 guy in China from the Team with Me podcast. 850 00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:58,280 Let me let me finish off Patrick's question by saying I 851 00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:01,240 would like to look back just from like not a personal point 852 00:46:01,240 --> 00:46:04,560 of view, but career point of view and say wrote some good 853 00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:09,160 stand up shot the TV show. We kept doing the podcast and 854 00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:11,760 no, I don't know what's going on in a couple of weeks. 855 00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:15,560 Maybe doing 2 episodes a week is a bit too ambitious, but I want 856 00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:19,000 to try and stick to that. So I think just, yeah, doing the 857 00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:26,000 podcast and hopefully putting out good stuff the this week, 858 00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:28,680 the Keith Cruz summer soccer school videos and going out 859 00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:32,920 every day. And I shot that last week and 860 00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:34,440 scheduled it all to go out this week. 861 00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:37,120 So I can just relax and kind of have that go out. 862 00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:38,600 So hopefully people are enjoying that. 863 00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:42,120 And again, that's something me and Aaron Butler shot in like a 864 00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:44,640 couple of hours. I edited the same night. 865 00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:49,120 So I'm enjoying like just doing wee things by myself. 866 00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:52,560 And so thank you, and let me move on. 867 00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:56,360 Noah Ballard, who says my boyfriend Philip is a Belfast 868 00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:58,040 guy in China, but not the Belfast guy in China. 869 00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:00,840 We've established that Belfast guy in China does not go out 870 00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:04,400 with Noah Ballard unless there is some triangle there and Noah 871 00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:07,160 Ballard is just in Belfast guys in China. 872 00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:09,800 In which case, that's a very niche demographic, but I like 873 00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:13,040 it. Noah says that his boyfriend 874 00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:17,560 lives in the city of Suzu Sujo. OK. 875 00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:19,600 He's told me how to pronounce it, which is very handy because 876 00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:20,560 that's what you pronounce it wrong. 877 00:47:21,240 --> 00:47:24,600 Tea with Me was a major source of normality for him as the 878 00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:27,080 lockdown in COVID-19 situation kicked off here in China. 879 00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:29,080 The podcast continues to be a rock for him. 880 00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:31,960 While he stuck 6000 miles away from his family, things gotten 881 00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:33,960 worse back home. He's a great guy with a passion 882 00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:35,840 for Northern Ireland and love for the podcast. 883 00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:38,840 He's even got me, an American and a few of our friends hooked 884 00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:44,280 in taking Tea With Me Global.

The thing was Michael and says 905 00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:45,880 that who just finds flaws in the way Aaron Butler speaks very sly 906 00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:50,520 and said said Aaron Butler says the word nigh really weird. 907 00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:55,760 And then he got in touch with me and said Aaron Butler says the 908 00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:57,800 word vulnerable really weird in this. 909 00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:02,960 Now the thing that he sent me is shit. 910 00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:07,400 Why can't I find this is basically an ad that Aaron has 911 00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:11,800 done that you know, he's done like we cameo in for Translink 912 00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:17,440 and he actually speaks very, very well in it, which I did 913 00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:21,880 tell him. But we might absolutely RIP him 914 00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:28,280 apart if we can find that he has said vulnerable in a weird way. 915 00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:32,600 So let's try and find that. Let me see. 916 00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:38,840 Sorry this taken me a second to find, but it will be worth it. 917 00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:41,160 Also, he did the ad a pair of white shorts, which is very 918 00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:42,440 Butler and that's why we love him. 919 00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:48,920 Why can't I find this? Maybe he's retweeted. 920 00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:51,280 In fact, he definitely has. But we're listening out to hear 921 00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:58,720 the way he says vulnerable. He is not shared it as Aaron 922 00:49:58,720 --> 00:50:01,120 Butler known that we're going to do this and deleted it. 923 00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:04,040 That is the question. So the ad is for the glider. 924 00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:07,400 It's for the glider and Tim McGarry is in it and irons in 925 00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:12,800 it. And I was not asked and I was 926 00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:16,080 not asked. So not asked, OK. 927 00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:24,440 And that's my attitude sake, right? 928 00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:28,640 I bet you can find it here. Yes, I think we've got it. 929 00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:34,200 Yes, things are looking brighter, but it's not over yet. 930 00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:35,440 So there's 10. Absolutely, Neil. 931 00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:38,800 And with Tim speaking perfectly on the bus of the glider, key 932 00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:40,800 workers, the elderly and vulnerable people. 933 00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:43,080 OK, OK. He does say vulnerable. 934 00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:45,680 He does say vulnerable. That's a confirmation. 935 00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:49,360 The Butler says vulnerable. And we'll give him a ring at the 936 00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:52,720 end of the podcast here and see what he has to say for himself. 937 00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:56,680 Matthew Merlin, what are you most looking forward to about 938 00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:58,880 being a dad?
