And I'm Colin Joseph, and we've 

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,280
got a little secret. 
Actually, it's a pretty big 

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:06,480
secret. 
Well, now you got to give the 

4
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,360
people something. 
I'm not saying a word. 

5
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:09,920
Oh, then people will know to 
tune in. 

6
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,080

00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,200
Exactly.

Dark and it's a comedy show that
only features drop in comic.

00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,520
It's some kind of comedy thing, 
and it's streaming now only on 

13
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,320
Peacock. 
You love it. 

14
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,800
Oh, zippers, welcome to this 
episode of the Tea with Me 

15
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,400
podcast With me, she and Todd. 
It's a good time. 

16
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,920
It's a guest episode today. 
As you know, some people are 

17
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,280
still going Where Where did the 
other episode of the week go to?

18
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,440
It's gone to Patreon kind of. 
At the start of lockdown we said

19
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,400
we're going to do 2 episodes a 
week, which was a big 

20
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,880
undertaking. 
We're still doing that, but one 

21
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,760
of the episodes is over on 
Patreon. 

22
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,080
Pedro on the com slash TV with 
Me podcast. 

23
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,760
Most podcasts have a Patreon. 
It's way for you to support the 

24
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:14,200
podcast and get more content. 
So we put out a full length 

25
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,320
bonus episode on there. 
We just put one out this week, 

26
00:01:17,320 --> 00:01:19,800
Rory Woods, and those episodes 
are a lot of fun. 

27
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,000
And then of course, every day, 
Monday to Friday, I do the 

28
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,000
breakfast brew, which is a 
morning podcast that comes out. 

29
00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:30,360
Episodes are like 25 minutes, 
half an hour, a little bit 

30
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,080
shorter, but still good because 
you don't want, a lot of people 

31
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,400
don't want a Big Breakfast. 
A lot of people like just a 

32
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,840
smaller breakfast for on the go.
And that's what this is. 

33
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,880
We do a guest episode on 
Wednesday. 

34
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,200
We have a live Zoom on on 
Friday. 

35
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,960
And let me just say this, the 
one just passed there with Aaron

36
00:01:45,960 --> 00:01:49,320
McCann and Dave Elliott was the 
wildest podcast I've ever done 

37
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:51,760
because there was a moment where
we were going to wrap the 

38
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,680
podcast up. 
Someone asked a question, 

39
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,560
because what we do in the in the
zoom is we take your questions 

40
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,040
and your topics and we get 
people to jump on. 

41
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,120
And then a listener asked a 
question and it took us down an 

42
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,400
Ave and I don't think we ever 
came back from it. 

43
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,280
So if you subscribe to the 
Patreon, Patreon, the Conference

44
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,160
to me podcast, you can go back 
and listen to all of those. 

45
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,720
Before I crack on, it's I 
mentioned it's a guest episode 

46
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,680
today. 
Before I bring my guest on, let 

47
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,040
me just say that we are 
sponsored by Manscaped. 

48

a boat, you shouldn't be. 

51
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,360
But if you're in the house, you 
know, if you've, if you're 

52
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,320

you know, you're wrapping up an 

53
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,640
intimate gift. 
You know some of you might be 

54
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:39,200

it your penis.

And if you're doing that, you 
want you know you want the side

motorbike.

69
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,480
you do. 
My guest today is my friend 

70
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,720
Mickey Bartlett. 
I'm just bringing him in and 

71
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,280
we're starting. 
That's just what's happening. 

72
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,520
He's in, I think he's in Mick, 
we're in the episode. 

73
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,840
I feel like I should warn you 
and tell you that we're in the 

74
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,840
episode. 
Are you with me? 

75
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,640
Can you hear me? 
All right, We're in the episode.

76
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,480
So I'm just letting you know in 
case you in case you want to 

77
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,240
throw any slurs right there or 
anything. 

78
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:52,760
We're live. 
It's happening. 

79
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,880
Fantastic. 
Does it sound all right? 

80
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,560
I'm using shit headphones so I 
hope it sounds OK. 

81
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,160
You sound good and you look 
good. 

82
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:00,920
Shit headphones. 
A new brand that you're the 

83
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,160
ambassador of. 
Yeah, but it's the only kind of 

84
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,920
influence I can get these days. 
Do we put a Taiwanese iPhones? 

85
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,600
It's good to see you. 
I like your hoodie. 

86
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,279
You know, I like, I like 
everything about you and what I 

87
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,519
really like is you know you and 
we'll talk, we're going to talk 

88
00:04:20,519 --> 00:04:21,640
about shows and all that kind of
thing. 

89
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,640
But like you're doing, we've 
talked with this couple, you're 

90
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,040
in the Ulster Hall, you're doing
the Ulster Hall again. 

91
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,080
I'm not going to be surprised if
you're doing the Ulster Hall 

92
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,000
again. 
The two real winners out of this

93
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,880
last year have been Pfizer and 
you. 

94
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,560
Well, it'd be nice if we get to 
do the Ulster Hall at all this 

95
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:39,920
year. 
He'll be fucking great. 

96
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:42,600
But yeah, well, I'm just a big 
player. 

97
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,120
You know what it's like once you
breakthrough that sort of 

98
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:48,000
feeling, you just become that. 
I think somebody tipped off you 

99
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,320
and the head of Pfizer like some
sort of corporate gig in Belfast

100
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,880
like last year and went, listen,
the shit's about to hit the fan.

101
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,000
So just have a strategy for this
because. 

102
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,560
But I tell you about like the 
point where I was so drunk 

103
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,600
during the first lockdown I was 
convinced I caused it. 

104
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,120
No, but I begin to explore this 
theory. 

105
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,000
So it's become an infamous, 
infamous night where I made 

106
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,760
margaritas. 
I've got like drank all the 

107
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,480
ingredients and at one point I 
went, do you know what? 

108
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,720
Back in March, I thought, fuck, 
I would love a year off. 

109
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,360
Was that out of it? 
I was like, I did this, I'm 

110
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:28,880
sorry. 
Yeah, I mean it, it's been a 

111
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,920
long, it's been a long year. 
We'll get the shows and stuff 

112
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,240
like that at the minute. 
But what I want to talk to you 

113
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,240
first about is something you're 
very passionate about and 

114
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,600
something I got into because of 
you. 

115
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,080
Have you any? 
They would have one I'm talking 

116
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,400
about. 
Is it just comedy in general 

117
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:49,200
isn't weapon? 
No, I'm not into them. 

118
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,880
It's it's, it's Cobra Kai is 
what it is. 

119
00:05:52,280 --> 00:05:55,520
No mercy. 
No mercy, Baku. 

120
00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:03,160
No, I so I was, I'll be honest, 
I didn't get swept up in the 

121
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,040
first wave of it. 
You told me about it at a gig. 

122
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,840
You were like, man, see if you 
sign up to YouTube Red, you can 

123
00:06:08,840 --> 00:06:12,240
watch Cobra Kai. 
And I was like, mech, no one's 

124
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,400
signing up for YouTube Red. 
Nobody wants to see a reboot of 

125
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,880
The Karate Kid. 
And then this is a weird pattern

126
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,400
with you where like down the 
line, you're always having the 

127
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,080
last laugh, you know, like, like
COVID and shows. 

128
00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:27,240
There's certain times where I'm 
like a reverse hipster. 

129
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,200
I'll wait till something gets 
cool, then when it dies off, I'm

130
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:33,800
like, I'm really into that and 
then it comes back. 

131
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,160
So Karate Kid died off in 94, 
but I was like, I'm just going 

132
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:39,400
to wait. 
Yeah, yeah. 

133
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,200
Might be years and then it's 
going to come back and I'll like

134
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:43,640
told you. 
You've bought stocks and 

135
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,960
Extravision recently. 
You know, you're like, listen, 

136
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:47,840
trust me. 
It's going to be the reason I 

137
00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:53,080
kept that card, I'm telling you.
Cobra Kai is is fucking class 

138
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,600
and everybody loves it and it's 
the show people should watch at 

139
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,560
the minute because it's just so 
like no matter what's happening 

140
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,400
it's like feel good and silly 
and fun. 

141
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,040
Because it's actually, when you 
really look at it, it's a 

142
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,240
complete shite. 
Oh yeah, the acting. 

143
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,040
What is so bad? 
It's terrible. 

144
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,240
The fight scenes are terrible. 
Yeah. 

145
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,200
But it's adorable. 
It's just really cute. 

146
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,680
It's so good and the nostalgia 
of it is great. 

147
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,760
The fact that it is, it is like 
the old cast, the episodes are 

148
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,920
so short. 
I I absolutely love it. 

149
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,720
Yeah, I think there's one in the
in the first series where Johnny

150
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,840
explains his version of what 
happened in Karate Kid and 

151
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,520
you're like. 
Fuck. 

152
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,240
Man. 
You were the Margarita. 

153
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,720
Go off. 
Johnny, Johnny know how you feel

154
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:43,000
it like I had a weird thing the 
other day where I I follow Cobra

155
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,920
Kai on Instagram. 
Why not 34? 

156
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,520
You've also got a tattoo. 
But that wasn't even said that 

157
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,760
like one of their posts was send
us photos of your sweet Cobra 

158
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,200
Kai ink and we'll share it in 
our story. 

159
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,480
And I was like, what kind of 
fucking decade gets a Cobra Kai 

160
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,600
talk to you completely 
forgetting, but I have a fucking

161
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:03,400
karate. 
Like I was washing my teeth like

162
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,960
oh fuck out is. 
Is is there a part of you Gen 

163
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,200
like genuine question, is there 
a part of you like you put up 

164
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,480
Instagram stories like obviously
for a laugh where you've got the

165
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,800
numb chucks, you know, you're 
you're doing a little bit of 

166
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,960
martial arts. 
Is is there a part of you that 

167
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:22,200
thinks you know if it came to? 
Honestly, God, I swear to God, I

168
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,680
still like I'm 34 in March, 
right? 

169
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,440
And I still like, I have this 
dream of like, I can probably do

170
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,760
that. 
And are you almost like, would 

171
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,400
you love an opportunity to sort 
of showcase it? 

172
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,080
Like what's the perfect 
scenario? 

173
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,520
Walking back from a night out 
or? 

174
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,720
No, that somebody opens a karate
club near me to get to wear 

175
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,080
pyjamas and shout, hey, yeah, 
like in a safe controlled space.

176
00:08:45,560 --> 00:08:51,120
Like I why I did like when I was
about 1415 of me, I did like 

177
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,760
Taekwondo got a blue belt, 
right, Which is no, that's not 

178
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,040
talking about. 
We're not serious yet. 

179
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,240
But it was like fucking like it 
was in a, you know, like a 

180
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:04,040
church hall, like Kia. 
And I always remember being 

181
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,280
like, I know what to do if I get
in the fight. 

182
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:07,880
Like I fucking know what to do. 
Yeah. 

183
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,280
And I was first year in uni, so 
I was like 1819 and the fight 

184
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,280
kicked off in a bar one of my 
mates involved in. 

185
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,440
And I was like, here, this is 
fucking, it's time. 

186
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,800
And I, I remember, like who used
to hear that shit? 

187
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:20,920
If you do that in someone's 
nose, they'll put their nose 

188
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,960
into their head. 
I remember like I almost said 

189
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,360
our lecture, the fucking dude 
who taught Taekwondo classes, 

190
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,680
like if you kick someone in the 
knee, you'll just break their 

191
00:09:30,680 --> 00:09:31,720
leg. 
And I was like, sweet. 

192
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,520
And one guy wanted to fight me 
and I was like, well, I know 

193
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,000
what I'm going to do. 
And I tried to kick him in the 

194
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:42,120
leg and he just decked me. 
Like he just completely like, I 

195
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,520
was pretty drunk. 
And I told this story for years.

196
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,120
And I like, I was like, who the 
fuck one son and turned around 

197
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,480
and this massive dude was there 
and then he just hit me and my 

198
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,960
mate's girlfriend was there and 
she's like, no, like I saw the 

199
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,720
fight. 
He went, she went, you were all 

200
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,520
over him. 
You just weren't hurting them. 

201
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,520
So I was like. 
Just hardly. 

202
00:09:59,560 --> 00:10:04,800
Giving up the full fucking. 
Do you think was part of you 

203
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,000
angry that you were like he 
doesn't know that you're 

204
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,720
supposed to like you know he's 
supposed to come at you straight

205
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,040
on with the first? 
To be completely honest, he hit 

206
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,760
me, I fail and got up. 
Like, yeah, good point. 

207
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:20,360
Yeah, yeah, like I understand. 
I got into an argument my mate 

208
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,200
Marty whenever Yeah, but 12-13 
or so and I. 

209
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,400
Just believe you actually have a
mate called Marty. 

210
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,560
What do you mean you just 
wouldn't see me as someone? 

211
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,440
His name from Marty to Martin or
something? 

212
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:36,880
Martin Yeah, yeah, yeah. 
Well, I got into, I got into an 

213
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:41,480
argument, my mate Marty and them
and I just got into wrestling. 

214
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,280
I got into wrestling a bit late.
And again, bit like you were 

215
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,400
called Bukai. 
I'm watching wrestling thinking 

216
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,600
I'm sorted, I'm sorted. 
Yeah. 

217
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:53,600
And it was a place called W 
Green in in the estate in 

218
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,920
Hollywood. 
And I say stay in Hollywood. 

219
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:57,680
Fucking gorgeous. 
You know what I mean? 

220
00:10:57,680 --> 00:10:59,600
Like it's an estate, but like, 
come on, it's. 

221
00:10:59,680 --> 00:11:01,480
A It's a cul-de-sac, like, yeah,
yeah. 

222
00:11:02,560 --> 00:11:05,200
And I had no argue with him. 
And he said something about my 

223
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:09,440
mum and I went right. 
And I genuinely put my hands on 

224
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,120
my knees and remember the Rock 
used to do that thing where he 

225
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:13,520
beckoned you forward with his 
hand. 

226
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,880
I, with a straight face, called 
them out. 

227
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,680
I'm beckoned them forward, gave 
my cousin my watch. 

228
00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:22,080
And then Marty just walked 
towards and smacked me. 

229
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,040
I was like, all right, we'll 
leave it there. 

230
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,200
We'll leave it there. 
But I mean that that was the 

231
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:26,960
ruling. 
You don't. 

232
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:31,120
You don't talk to someone bad. 
No, no, no, I, I remember a 

233
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:35,400
great fight on a bus in Belfast 
where a guy was arguing with 

234
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,400
another group or whatever and he
goes, you're all talk and no 

235
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,600
action. 
And the other fellow went unlike

236
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,640
your man, and it didn't make 
sense. 

237
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,120
But the delivery of it was one 
of the best that one of the best

238
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,400
I've ever seen because yeah, it 
was one of those ones. 

239
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,240
You count your weakness and act 
like you're hurt. 

240
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,080
But if anyone said anything rude
about your mom like it's not 

241
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:54,960
it's not on like. 
Did you guys ever heard that 

242
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,080
thing where like it was trying 
to keep your mother's name a 

243
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:06,560
secret in school was just a 
fucking like like like however 

244
00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:09,680
we like we found that a guy, his
mom, his mom, his name was 

245
00:12:09,680 --> 00:12:11,760
Sheila. 
So we just sang come to Sheila. 

246
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:20,280
She'll make like like. 
See, for some reason, right, I 

247
00:12:20,680 --> 00:12:23,240
mean, there might have been 
other reasons in first year in 

248
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,680
school, right? 
I was relatively popular first 

249
00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:28,200
year in secondary school, like I
was I was getting on all right, 

250
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,720
like I had quite a lot of mates.
And then the at the start of 

251
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,000
first day of second year, my mom
bought like a second hand. 

252
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,000
We, you know, Toyota MR2. 
Yeah, my mom's like I've always 

253
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,000
wanted one of these cars, loads 
of miles on it, but got one and 

254
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,080
it's like a wee like mini Batman
car really. 

255
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,640
And I got dropped off in it and 
I got bullied from second year 

256
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,400
to 3rd year because my mag on 
them are two. 

257
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,600
So on a Friday my mum would 
Daddy used to pick us up on a 

258
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,440
Friday afternoon. 
So like Monday to Thursday, we 

259
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,080
got the boss home with the rest 
of the, you know. 

260
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,360
The mother. 
Just it was life lessons blend 

261
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:03,440
in children. 
OK. 

262
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,920
But there was one time, so we 
were driving behind the bus we 

263
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,280
normally got and all the guys in
the back of the bus saw me in 

264
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,920
the front seat and they were 
like all that sort of stuff. 

265
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,400
I'm thinking, don't give me the 
fingers in front of my mat. 

266
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,200
And my mom was like cheeky me 
bastard fuck. 

267
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:25,240
But then she went like and me 
and my sister were like stop 

268
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,280
doing that, I mean. 
I did she not connected to what 

269
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:29,720
it was no. 
Idea what it meant? 

270
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:37,720
What's it mean? 
Your mom threatened to rim a bus

271
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:38,760
that's. 
Where to go? 

272
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,040
But I'm so glad it was one of 
those ones where I was like, I 

273
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:42,480
can't believe no one's ever 
brought this up. 

274
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,600
Like the rest of the four years 
in school, which is like one day

275
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,120
someone's like Mickey's 
motherfucker. 

276
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,720
Lunches dirty. 
My my dad was driving. 

277
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:56,040
We were driving in front of the 
school bus going home once and 

278
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,120
the boss was driving too far 
behind, too close to my daddy's 

279
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,040
car. 
And my daddy's like fucking 

280
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,120
fucking drove past to turn off 
for our house just so he could 

281
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:05,880
the guy could keep being close 
to him. 

282
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:10,080
And my dad hit the brakes, put 
the handbrake on and confronted 

283
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,560
the school bus driver with me in
the car. 

284
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,520
And I thought, everyone's going 
to think my dad's like this 

285
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,040
legend on hard man. 
And then Monday and school, 

286
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,360
everyone's like, your dad's 
fucking deck players 20 minutes 

287
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,880
late from school because you're 
5 foot 4, dad, which is banging 

288
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:26,960
the come on, 8. 
Come on 8. 

289
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,400
Yeah, That's so funny that, 
like, you definitely didn't want

290
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,880
people to know your mom's name. 
And I don't know if you've ever 

291
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,720
had this. 
One of the biggest fears was 

292
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,160
people that you didn't 
necessarily know were like in 

293
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,840
your year would get you would 
get your home phone number and 

294
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,400
phone your house on like a 
Friday or Saturday night. 

295
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:49,840
Yeah. 
You know, if there was a 

296
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,480
voicemail, you might, your mom 
would be like, someone left a 

297
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,680
voicemail on Saturday night in 
our house for like 10 minutes 

298
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,720
and no talking. 
And you knew you're like, that's

299
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,640
somebody else in class all. 
Right. 

300
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,320
There's definitely this type of 
things I do, those things you 

301
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,400
think about even like in your 
30s and you're just like, like, 

302
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,600
and I was, I mean, too old to be
doing this. 

303
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,640
Me and my sister were having 
like a karate fight in the 

304
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,400
living room one night. 
Like obviously I'd got my 

305
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:18,640
Greenbelt that day. 
And two girls that I went to 

306
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,680
school with and one of them I 
quite fancy to like walk past 

307
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,000
our house and all this always 
like the silhouette of like me. 

308
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:30,520
And like, by the time my dad 
gave me a donkey nip, do that 

309
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,080
like he like basically squeeze 
his knuckles on my neck. 

310
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:38,200
Oh, I I thought a donkey nip was
donkey nip was inside your leg. 

311
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,040
You know, like the. 
It might be, but he got me in 

312
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,040
the neck with it. 
So like 2 knuckles together? 

313
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:44,720
Yeah, yeah. 
And then you like nip it and 

314
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:45,280
twist it. 
Why? 

315
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:46,680
Was your dad? 
Why did your dad do that? 

316
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:48,640
Because it looks exactly like a 
Hickey. 

317
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,360
Shame. 
So what happened was I was there

318
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,520
in school the next day getting 
changed for PE. 

319
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,840
Someone was like, yeah, it's 
kind of Hickey. 

320
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,640
And I not even thinking about no
no someone looks like my dad. 

321
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,040
Thanks. 
Do you remember you really 

322
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,160
wanted a Hickey? 
Not from your dad. 

323
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,160
You really wanted a Hickey at 
the time. 

324
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,360
And then and then as soon as you
had it, you're like, Nah, I. 

325
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,920
Know I don't want this, 
especially because a Hickey it's

326
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:20,120
never like a taxi, it just. 
Yeah, yeah. 

327
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:21,280
Have you like? 
Yeah. 

328
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:22,440
What's anybody getting out of 
it? 

329
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,840
I remember like I think it was 
the first girl ever that was, 

330
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,040
she was like, will you give me a
love bite? 

331
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,720
And I was like I don't even know
how to and she literally went 

332
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,040
suck my neck until your mouth 
hurts and I was like. 

333
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:40,000
You were 24, like, all right. 
Sitting there in a Burger King 

334
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:40,520
Hut? 
Really. 

335
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,400
Yeah, Speaking of like people 
driving beside buses without 

336
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:49,400
naming names, do you remember 
you were you were getting the 

337
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,360
bus to uni one day and you saw 
you're an extra? 

338
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,520
Guy Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 
yeah. 

339
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,760
I've seen two people waking when
I'm going to sit on a bus. 

340
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:57,680
I've never. 
I've never seen that. 

341
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,160
I've never. 
Seen you. 

342
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:03,040
And one was the lorry driver. 
So like like you think of the 

343
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:04,319
height of a bus and the height 
of a lorry, Kevin. 

344
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,040
And I was just like the window, 
just looking. 

345
00:17:07,079 --> 00:17:09,119
And sure enough, this guy was 
just. 

346
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:10,760
Were you just hoping to see when
you're like? 

347
00:17:11,319 --> 00:17:14,680
You know what was really weird? 
You know, it was like, I 

348
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,440
actually think I saw him doing 
it in his rearview mirror. 

349
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,160
Oh, get you, get you. 
Know what I mean? 

350
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,119
And then I was, I looked in. 
Sure enough, he's just, I mean, 

351
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,839
like he wasn't even treating 
himself kindly. 

352
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:27,319
Yeah. 
Yeah. 

353
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:29,840
The kind of situation we want. 
Is this your first wank? 

354
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,960
Because that's. 
Why didn't he just wait to the 

355
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,280
to the apple green? 
I know. 

356
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,000
I don't know why. 
It's just I was. 

357
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:38,840
I suppose you must think you're 
carrying the world up that high.

358
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:39,840
Like I can probably have a 
wanker. 

359
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,000
Yeah. 
I would love to yeah, take me 

360
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,160
when I get to the top sleeve 
Donner and but it's a. 

361
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:51,040
Maybe get the top of the stairs.
So come up here. 

362
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,760
I mean, yeah, as a, you know, 
truck driver, a lorry drivers 

363
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,680
pulling over it like Apple 
greens and service station 

364
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,000
stops, you know, for the night 
and stuff I would love to do. 

365
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:04,840
Just let the prostitute it. 
I'd love to see ATV show where 

366
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,080
you just surprise them and just 
put the camera straight into 

367
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,200
their cabin and just see at that
time what they're doing. 

368
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,120
And you do this for maybe 100 
drivers and just that's a, 

369
00:18:12,120 --> 00:18:14,280
that's a show. 
It's called. 

370
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,520
Nothing would get delivered like
lorry drivers were here but 

371
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:20,640
that. 
But like I'm not even fucking. 

372
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,800
I used to work with the girl 
whose dad was a lorry driver and

373
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,960
I remember her mom cracking up 
because his sleeping bag was all

374
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:30,880
stiff. 
Like a giant PITA. 

375
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:37,920
A big crown cracker. 
I mean, I can't, well part of me

376
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,240
does say the fussing, the appeal
of being lorry driver if you 

377
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,320
like your own company and you 
just like the open road and just

378
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:45,560
get love. 
Podcast 1. 

379
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,720
Yeah, much the Lorry Drivers 
just love podcast. 

380
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,680
Like what made you want to Lorry
driver be like just getting 

381
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,720
through all this local comedy. 
There was a second and a half 

382
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,360
hour podcast where two 
comedians, I thought, you know 

383
00:18:57,360 --> 00:18:59,840
what will help me like that? 
You never get time in the house.

384
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,720
To change up a bit, let me ask 
you this see doing the deck 

385
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,480
chair and Yum's podcast where 
obviously use, you know, look at

386
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,480
different conspiracy theories 
and and talk about different 

387
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,840
stuff. 
Do you this question I've always

388
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:17,440
wanted to ask you, Do you get 
many messages either like to the

389
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:21,040
Patreon or or privately of 
people being like, listen, 

390
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:25,320
here's the real crack with this.
Like is your is your inbox full 

391
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:30,360
of a lot of like, mad shit? 
Not really because I it's 

392
00:19:30,360 --> 00:19:32,720
probably worse for Connor 
because I you know me and I 

393
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:33,960
don't do the research or the 
homework. 

394
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,840
I just, I'm just the looks for 
the audio podcast that Karen 

395
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,280
Johnson. 
You get the odd like you get the

396
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,000
odd bit of stuff. 
But then I'm kind of really like

397
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,760
people send me stuff and if I 
don't look at it there and then 

398
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,600
I'm just not going to look at. 
It right, right, right. 

399
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,600
But I have there has been some, 
I mean, there's there's 

400
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,440
definitely a point where we 
started doing this sort of the 

401
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,360
conspiracy side of the podcast 
where Connor and I were both 

402
00:19:55,360 --> 00:19:57,600
like, what theft? 
Turn the Internet off? 

403
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,040
Because this is fucking beyond 
the joke. 

404
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,680
As in the stuff you were getting
or then you would look into the 

405
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,640
things you were talking about. 
You would just you would just go

406
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:08,080
down these sort of weird like 
within 5 minutes someone's like 

407
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,560
Michelle Obama's a dude and 
you're like what the fuck? 

408
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:15,160
Like which is insane. 
Like there's so many. 

409
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:17,640
It sounds like I'm shitting on 
people that believe in 

410
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,600
conspiracy theories. 
I'm not, but like there are 

411
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,360
loads and loads of just. 
No and. 

412
00:20:22,360 --> 00:20:24,280
Fucking psychos. 
Yeah, and I think that's 

413
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,720
something me and Connor talked 
about before of where he was 

414
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,600
saying like the likes of people 
going, oh, Michelle Obama's a 

415
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,600
guy, here's a Photoshop outline 
of her cock. 

416
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:37,440
And it's like that then 
undermines genuine things where 

417
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:42,760
you're like, you know, then you 
just see that as conspiracy 

418
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,680
theories. 
So then if there is a real 

419
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,200
conspiracy theory, you're like, 
but that's the same sort of 

420
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,840
people that say Michelle Obama. 
That's the sort of weirdest, but

421
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,960
I find at the minute, even with 
all the COVID stuff and like, 

422
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,360
everyone knows the jokes of 
like, just because your cousin's

423
00:20:56,360 --> 00:20:58,440
brother works in a hospital, 
said it was grand, doesn't mean 

424
00:20:58,440 --> 00:20:59,280
it's grand. 
Yeah. 

425
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,040
And then like when the Northern 
and Executive closed down pubs 

426
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,480
and hairdressers, it was based 
off anecdotal evidence, which 

427
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,720
means Robin Swan went, my 
cousin's brother went to the 

428
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,640
hospital or went to the fucking 
hairdressers and he got COVID 

429
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:11,760
dead. 
So we're close up, you know what

430
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:12,440
I mean? 
Yeah. 

431
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:18,080
But I mean, that's like, I'm, 
you know, I'm like, oh, OK, you 

432
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,160
know, keep doing the lockdowns, 
like or do one big one if if 

433
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:22,840
it's going to help. 
But the only thing that would 

434
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,200
make me say like fuck it every 
month for himself, Let's break 

435
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,480
it and go on with their lives is
if my hair need a cut. 

436
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:29,520
I I'm 100%. 
I was like. 

437
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,760
I think, I think society may 
fall because we all need a trim,

438
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,120
you know, like it's like 
survival or skin fate, you know,

439
00:21:37,120 --> 00:21:39,280
and and I don't know what's 
going to happen, but I got mine 

440
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,560
done at home and it's. 
It's all right, but I divide at 

441
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,760
home like, but I'm with that 
weird like. 

442
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:46,840
That's why I was. 
I don't want to go back to be 

443
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:48,280
involved even though it's 
happening naturally. 

444
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:52,040
Your hair, you and Dave can be 
like this to an extent as well, 

445
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:56,440
where like you think you are out
of the game, the hair game and 

446
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,680
then all of a sudden you're like
guess who's back in town? 

447
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,080
And I don't know if user having 
multiple hair transplants by a 

448
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,800
really you know a guy who can 
only do temporary ones or what 

449
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:07,600
it is what it is user doing but 
like. 

450
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:08,840
Hammer. 
Hammer Transplants. 

451
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:14,640
The Dave, like you know, Dave is
still like if you look at Dave, 

452
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,360
though, it's all about the angle
for him. 

453
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:20,520
So on top, like he's got nothing
on top, but he has a great line 

454
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,400
at the front. 
So that's why he always kind of 

455
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,600
keeps his hair back a bit. 
I'm always make sure he's he's 

456
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,680
out of height. 
Yeah, See, I'm the opposite, 

457
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,760
because mine's sort of because 
mine's been receding for years, 

458
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,000
but it's starting to get thin, 
sort of here, right? 

459
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,800
I have to kind of do that. 
Kind of like where it lies. 

460
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,480
Yeah. 
Yeah, that's like I had a really

461
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,280
ugly uncle who used to just like
he moved his head. 

462
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:49,120
No, no, no, just me. 
Speaking of mutants, just me. 

463
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,440
I just mean, he used to move his
head a lot because he didn't 

464
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,800
want people to see certain 
things on his face, you know? 

465
00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,920
I mean, so he never stayed in 
the same place for, you know, 

466
00:22:59,920 --> 00:23:02,560
more than a second. 
And he was just always kind of. 

467
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,400
I used to work with a guy who 
just had no teeth and like 

468
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,880
massive, like I don't know if 
there were boils or sis or like 

469
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,240
just these huge lumps on his 
neck. 

470
00:23:11,120 --> 00:23:13,840
And out of all the people I've 
met in my life where I'm like, 

471
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:19,640
you should care, I don't. 
You're fucking disgusting. 

472
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:21,640
Like. 
And he just didn't give a shit. 

473
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:23,560
Yeah. 
I almost admired him for it 

474
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:24,680
because I would look at him and 
go. 

475
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:30,280
I wouldn't leave the house. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I, I, I've 

476
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:34,400
kind of I've in in lockdown. 
I see. 

477
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,000
Here's the thing. 
I think, right, I think 

478
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,960
sometimes I'm like, I'm a good 
looking guy, but I'm a good 

479
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,440
looking guy from a dip from, 
from a middle distance, right. 

480
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:49,240
And what I mean by that is like 
in normal circumstances, I'm, 

481
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:54,360
I'm, I'm a very just like I'm a 
high average looking guy, I 

482
00:23:54,360 --> 00:23:56,240
would say. 
But from a distance, if you see 

483
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,560
me at half a mile away, you 
might think I'm Tommy Hilfiger 

484
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,360
model. 
See. 

485
00:24:00,360 --> 00:24:02,480
That's from half a mile. 
It's nice to hear you finally 

486
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,640
admit that because I've thought 
about that. 

487
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,760
I've realised that I'm not. 
I'm trying to do this and stand 

488
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:18,520
at one point, but I like, I'm 
not a type I'm fetish like I've 

489
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,840
found in my life that women that
are attracted to me are really, 

490
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,960
really attracted to them, but 
they're also terrified, like big

491
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,840
strong women like me. 
So what would you describe 

492
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:29,240
yourself as? 
As a? 

493
00:24:29,360 --> 00:24:32,160
As a type. 
I don't know what it would be. 

494
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,760
Like you might be a bit like 
you're a fairly rugged guy. 

495
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,280
But then you're like a Burr. 
Would I be a Burr? 

496
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,880
I think you might be a a big 
cub. 

497
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:49,040
Maybe I will be a big cub that. 
Would be your truck driver name 

498
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:54,080
Big Cub? 
Big cub, the dandy boy. 

499
00:24:56,040 --> 00:25:02,120
Is that me, Dandy boy? 
Yeah. 

500
00:25:02,120 --> 00:25:03,880
I mean, I don't know. 
I think I've. 

501
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,440
I've always like, like, you 
know, I'll check my reflection 

502
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,840
passing a car mirror, but I've 
never really looked at myself in

503
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,600
a standard mirror for that long.
I'm a guy who likes to catch a 

504
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,920
lot of glimpses of myself and 
not one long look. 

505
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,560
But lock lockdown is meant I've 
had a long look and I've 

506
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,880
accepted what I've seen and it's
not what I thought it was but 

507
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:26,600
I'm perfectly OK with it. 
I'm more of the I'll look at 

508
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,720
myself like when I get ready, 
I'll look at myself like that 

509
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:31,640
where I'll put my shoulders down
a bit and be like, your belly's 

510
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:32,640
not that big. 
You look all right. 

511
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:36,960
The hair looks thick. 
And then I will avoid, yeah, I 

512
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,760
basically catfished my own 
myself. 

513
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,760
Like I'll not look at any 
fucking like because there's 

514
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,520
times where I have caught myself
in a like a shop window then 

515
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:49,560
like you are a fat cunt. 
But you but you. 

516
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,920
But you convince yourself you're
a 21 Rep black. 

517
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,320
PT but 100% Jamaican. 
It's the same as the karate 

518
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,560
thing. 
I look at like CrossFit guys go 

519
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,520
probably could. 
See. 

520
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,760
See, like talking at the gym, 
right? 

521
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,400
Everyone knows with the Jim 
Neury thing and all that kind of

522
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:13,600
stuff that's going on. 
The minute I fear social media 

523
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,920
now more than I ever, I've 
always been like, you know, you,

524
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,400
we've talked about this before, 
but social media and sometimes 

525
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,200
you, you say you're really into 
it and then sometimes you're 

526
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,400
like, fuck social media, can't 
be dealing with it. 

527
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,760
And you'll you'll take time away
from it, which so many people 

528
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:32,240
now do, you know, someone's 
like, I'm taking a month off 

529
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,960
Facebook or whatever. 
I've, I've always been like, no,

530
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:37,280
I don't. 
I don't mind that a pick and 

531
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,680
choose what to see. 
My timeline's not full of 

532
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,040
anything too mod. 
It's mainly like football stuff 

533
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,240
and, you know, male Abercrombie 
and fetch moles. 

534
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:49,800
But but it's only like the last 
couple of weeks where I've gone.

535
00:26:51,120 --> 00:26:53,640
Is there a way I could keep 
doing what I'm doing without 

536
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:58,760
actively being on social media? 
Do you know what I mean? 

537
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,080
Like, yeah. 
I've always been of the opinion 

538
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,240
like if I didn't do stand up I 
wouldn't have it. 

539
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:07,760
No, no, no, definitely. 
I, I just, I don't get why I get

540
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,760
the appeal of it, but I think 
for, I think for us as 

541
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,320
comedians, like we know why we 
have social media and when you 

542
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,360
see other people who just have 
it reacting to it like it's real

543
00:27:17,360 --> 00:27:20,120
life and we're kind of a thing 
of this is only an advertising 

544
00:27:20,120 --> 00:27:23,520
tool. 
Don't think that's maybe sort of

545
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,040
keep it separate. 
But it's just, I like, I hate 

546
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,640
it. 
Like at the minute I'm doing the

547
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,240
stupidest things I can do. 
I'll just put them on Instagram 

548
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,520
because I also need attention. 
Yeah, yeah. 

549
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,720
But I've the what the smartest I
just I've turned on the 

550
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,080
notifications off so I don't 
even. 

551
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,680
Right, right, right. 
Yeah, I mean, I'm gonna, I think

552
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,200
I might have to do something 
like that myself. 

553
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,600
AB I like it and I've always 
been, I've always looked at it 

554
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,560
like ironically, a lot of the 
time, you know, when people post

555
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,800
cringe stuff, so you're like, 
what the fuck you doing? 

556
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,640
Like I've always kind of in a 
way enjoyed that a bit. 

557
00:27:54,840 --> 00:28:00,040
And I like the voyeurism of like
local influencers, you know, 

558
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,280
things like that. 
I'm like this, I could look at 

559
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,040
this for a long time, but I'm 
wasting time. 

560
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:06,880
I'm wasting a lot of time doing 
that. 

561
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:13,000
And it's that thing now you've 
comedy isn't really has become 

562
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,960
way less sacred because if you 
have a mobile phone now and a 

563
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,080
tech talk account, like you're 
you're a comedian. 

564
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,720
Like people will be like, yeah, 
you know, I'm a comedian, a tech

565
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,200
talk comedian and that kind of 
thing. 

566
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:27,040
I don't think that should bother
me, but it definitely does where

567
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:28,080
I'm. 
Like you're not. 

568
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,960
Yeah, I think it must be like 
whenever, if like Jimi Hendrix, 

569
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:32,880
heard Scooter. 
Yeah. 

570
00:28:34,360 --> 00:28:35,680
You'll be like this is music to 
you. 

571
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,440
Like shut the fuck. 
Yeah, yeah, I know what you 

572
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,000
mean. 
That's a weird Jimi Hendrix. 

573
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:42,480
Do you want to mean it's like 
that's a wee scooter. 

574
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:50,360
I might be I it's just like, are
we getting really annoyed? 

575
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:55,640
Somebody, I don't even know who 
it was just some random like it 

576
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:56,840
was a girl. 
She there was a video come up 

577
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,880
with like a TikTok thing and she
was doing an impression of her 

578
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:00,360
like Spanish mom. 
And I was like, this is really 

579
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:01,520
funny. 
Right. 

580
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,680
But then like in her story, 
she'd like was just unboxing 

581
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:09,320
free shit and then referred to 
herself as like a creator. 

582
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,000
And I was like. 
You know what it's like people 

583
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,520
like, call themselves an 
influencer. 

584
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,200
It's like, in a way, calling 
yourself a hero. 

585
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,080
Heroes don't call themselves 
heroes. 

586
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,920
To me, anybody that says I 
wouldn't, it's just like it's, 

587
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,000
it's like a society full of 
David Brents. 

588
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,040
Yeah, yeah. 
And, and there's something where

589
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,960
like, it's like people who try 
and do it in Northern Ireland 

590
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,840
that cringes me at the most. 
But it shouldn't because like, 

591
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,360
in a way you're like, well, 
that's people want to do, that's

592
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,960
what you want to do. 
And we can like beat ourselves 

593
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,280
down here. 
But there's just something where

594
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,200
I, I am just not comfortable 
with it. 

595
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:46,040
And like as comedians, we kind 
of in a way have to be 

596
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,320
influencers a wee bit. 
But it's by default of what 

597
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:49,520
we're doing, you know what I 
mean? 

598
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,360
It's not like. 
I just think it's not thing of 

599
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:56,520
like, yeah, just like, was that 
rotten joke where everybody 

600
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,520
became a makeup artist during 
the first lockdown? 

601
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:03,400
Yeah. 
And it sounds really horrible, 

602
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,120
but I've seen videos of people 
being like, hey, guys, So just 

603
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:07,200
to let you know. 
And you're looking at them 

604
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,680
going, nobody gives a fuck. 
Yeah. 

605
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:11,840
Like, to me, there's times I 
look at Instagram and I'm like, 

606
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,280
that's a mental health problem. 
And you just showed everybody, 

607
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,720
right, right, right. 
Or the app itself is a mental 

608
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:17,880
health problem and we've all got
it. 

609
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:23,360
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 
Or I don't know, there's some 

610
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:28,360
stuff that sort of creeps like 
the the whole thing of and I 

611
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:34,360
don't know why I'm like into 
seeing this, but like when you 

612
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,560
see people that like by 
followers and stuff like that. 

613
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:42,960
Yeah, social media is a is a 
disease, but there's good things

614
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,320
about obviously too. 
We get to reach out to people. 

615
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,120
People see your videos or and 
you know, they might go, oh, 

616
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,240
like this guy might maybe go and
see him live. 

617
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,840
Like that's ultimately why most 
of us have social media. 

618
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,040
So, so people come and see us 
live. 

619
00:30:56,360 --> 00:31:02,880
But like the idea that you can 
just be like, you know, it's 

620
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:08,800
just the idea that you can alter
the reality of what you're is is

621
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,840
scary like, and you understand 
why people do it. 

622
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,680
Yeah, there's like I've been 
kind of obsessed with for ages. 

623
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:15,880
Do you ever see someone's 
account and it's just all 

624
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,560
selfies? 
Yeah, it's the same thing as I'm

625
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:20,800
saying about like when I look at
myself the last time, like the 

626
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,160
last time I look at myself in 
the mirror, you're looking at 

627
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:25,640
people going. 
You think you look like that and

628
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:26,880
I've seen you and you fucking 
don't. 

629
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:30,240
Yeah. 
Like that's one of the things 

630
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,120
that like. 
But there's times I think social

631
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,120
media is just like 24/7 Jerry 
McKay. 

632
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,640
Like you're watching and you're 
like, I fucking, I know you're a

633
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,480
nice person that I've met you 
and I've talked to you and 

634
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,080
you're sound, but this fucking 
thing you're doing your phones 

635
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:44,360
really winding me up and I don't
know. 

636
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:46,600
I don't know how to tell you, 
but you can't stop looking at 

637
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:47,760
it. 
Yeah, yeah. 

638
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:49,280
No, exactly. 
And then? 

639
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:51,240
I feel like a psycho, something 
out loud. 

640
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:55,160
No, I think that capsulates 
pretty much what I'm thinking 

641
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,680
of. 
Like who has the bigger problem,

642
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:02,800
the people that do the content 
or us that give them the views? 

643
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,080
Because we're weird or two for 
people younger than us, like 

644
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,280
people who've had social media 
since they're in their teens, 

645
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:13,360
like they, they think that's 
just how that it's such a big 

646
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:14,560
part of their life. 
That's just the way it is. 

647
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,360
Now do you know what? 
I was watching the documentary. 

648
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,160
Well, this is so much like I was
watching a thing called, it's 

649
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,160
called Fahrenheit 11/9 with a 
Michael Moore documentary on 

650
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,440
it's on Netflix. 
But it's all about like how 

651
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,080
Trump got in and how the corrupt
American politics and stuff is. 

652
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:33,360
And there was a point where this
the play of video of like a 

653
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:36,880
school shooting in America as 
it's going on and somebody 

654
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,760
snapchatted. 
Oh my God there's someone 

655
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,400
shooting up our school with four
fucking cry emojis. 

656
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:43,720
Right, yes, I think I've heard 
about this. 

657
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,720
As they're recording it and I'm 
like, how fucked. 

658
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,720
Maybe it's just that's just 
normal for a teenager. 

659
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,280
That's how they just communicate
now. 

660
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,120
But to me I'm like, why take the
time to write a fucking emoji? 

661
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,960
I mean, it's probably that thing
of like you see something 

662
00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:00,360
terrible happen at the minute, a
fire or whatever, someone 

663
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,960
getting mugged and it's been 
filmed by 10 people and people 

664
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:05,240
are like, well, that's the way 
it is now. 

665
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,440
But it's just because we have 
phones. 

666
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:08,840
There still would have been the 
same moment. 

667
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:12,320
The people probably standing and
go, but they just have a phone 

668
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:13,600
in their hand. 
But but I know what you mean. 

669
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,560
It was like me and when I did 
Collins podcast, like last week,

670
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:21,120
there was girls who got stuck up
the morns, they got stranded and

671
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,680
they were Snapchatting the whole
thing where the air ambulance 

672
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,680
was physically picking them up. 
They were Snapchatting. 

673
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,480
And it's like you have to be 
able to separate, like you have 

674
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,720
to understand why that's not a 
good thing to do. 

675
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:35,440
Yeah, yeah, 100% yeah. 
If you couldn't be that afraid, 

676
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:37,840
if you're being like, oh, delete
it, do it again. 

677
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,520
Exactly. 
No, I don't know. 

678
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:47,360
I was going to chat to you about
gigs and I mean, I it depressed 

679
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:52,840
me when I'm it depressed me when
I'm like, so when do you think? 

680
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,600
And all because, like, I mean, 
we, we don't know. 

681
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,920
I've, it's taken a year for me 
to lose any optimism. 

682
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:00,240
Like I've still been like 6 more
weeks. 

683
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,000
It said six weeks, it said six 
weeks. 

684
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,320
And now I'm like, I don't even 
think I'm a comedian anymore. 

685
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,040
I think I'm just some fucking 
loser lives in his math. 

686
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,120
Well, are you? 
Are you writing? 

687
00:34:09,159 --> 00:34:13,040
Are you? 
Not this, not this time around. 

688
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:14,199
I think I was writing quite a 
bit. 

689
00:34:15,679 --> 00:34:17,800
Like even when we came back in 
sort of August, September time, 

690
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,360
I had quite a bit of new stuff. 
But oh. 

691
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:24,719
You took a drink? 
I thought I would as well. 

692
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:25,400
So. 
I like that. 

693
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:30,639
Masculine, yeah. 
It's Lambrini. 

694
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:33,440
I know. 
So that's just Jim. 

695
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:37,120
But no, I haven't really been 
writing as much this time around

696
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:41,639
because I'm like, I kind of, I 
need to be, I need to know I 

697
00:34:41,639 --> 00:34:43,800
have a gig coming up to really 
put the pressure on me to go, 

698
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,000
OK, yes, what do we want to talk
about here? 

699
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:50,520
And I found that what was 
happening was anything I was 

700
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,600
writing, I'm like, well, that's 
not going to make sense in six 

701
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:53,520
months. 
Yeah. 

702
00:34:53,679 --> 00:34:57,400
Yeah, material just fucking die.
It's not topical after a month 

703
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,360
anyway. 
Yeah, so I'm just going to wait 

704
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,640
until I know when. 
When you can do something. 

705
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:06,000
Yeah. 
I hope we can do like marquee 

706
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,480
tent type stuff when the weather
starts to get good again. 

707
00:35:09,720 --> 00:35:11,520
That would be class. 
All right, I'll do it. 

708
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:12,880
Like anything at all would be 
just great. 

709
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,280
I've never, ever, I'm not going 
to like, I don't want to do any 

710
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,040
more Zoom gigs. 
No. 

711
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,440
No and I am never doing a car 
park gig again like. 

712
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:27,360
I I got into watching vlogs of 
comedians doing like car park 

713
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,920
gigs and all that kind of thing.
Drive through gigs. 

714
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:32,520
No, I'm glad. 
Well, I was going to say I'm 

715
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,640
glad I didn't do it. 
I probably would do it for the 

716
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,600
curiosity of it, but. 
It's kind of like, it's like 

717
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:40,680
doing TV warm up. 
You're like, I'm glad I've done 

718
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:42,720
it so I know what it feels like.
They hate something. 

719
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:47,360
I remember, I remember you did. 
I mean I did warm up too for no 

720
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,400
have you don't know them before.
Yeah, I did it once and then 

721
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:54,600
immediately sex like. 
So I did, I got asked to do it 

722
00:35:54,600 --> 00:36:00,440
and it was 1010 episode run and 
the first one I go down of a 

723
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,520
dressing room. 
I was like fucking Alice's class

724
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,920
food late on. 
Go do 15 minutes. 

725
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:11,920
The Nolan TV audience destroy 
like kill. 

726
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,240
It's amazing. 
I'm like, I'm doing a bit of 

727
00:36:14,240 --> 00:36:15,600
crowd work. 
I'm doing material. 

728
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,200
I was like, I don't know why 
they have a stand up warm up 

729
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:19,920
before a serious political 
debate show. 

730
00:36:20,240 --> 00:36:24,840
But anyway, this is brilliant. 
And then the next week I went 

731
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,600
down and they were like listen 
with no we didn't mean to PSC 

732
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,040
give you a dressing room last 
week. 

733
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:30,680
You OK to not have one? 
I was like yeah it's grand. 

734
00:36:31,720 --> 00:36:34,120
I had a bad gig the next week, 
got a bad gig. 

735
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,480
I had a bad gig for the next 9 
weeks. 

736
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,480
It was just a fluke that the 
first one just happened to be 

737
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,240
good. 
But you're looking at people in 

738
00:36:41,240 --> 00:36:44,200
the audience that are waiting to
talk about the most horrific of 

739
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,840
things. 
So angry, like I, I did it. 

740
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:49,680
The one that was it was 
actually, I think it was the 

741
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,600
pilot of becoming like Nolan 
live. 

742
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:54,600
It wasn't a live show, the one I
did. 

743
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,680
And there's a guy, I think I've 
told this story in your podcast 

744
00:36:57,720 --> 00:37:01,200
before me, but there's a guy in 
the front row who, so my 

745
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:04,200
material was just dying like, 
and it was. 

746
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,320
How long? 
Yeah, it was like 1520 or 

747
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,440
something like that, but it was 
my like warm up gold. 

748
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,920
I don't enough it to be like 
this is it was my BBC Northern 

749
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,120
Ireland said it had class like 
it had knew what I mean. 

750
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:15,080
Yeah. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

751
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,160
I was like big bangers, like, 
yeah, yeah. 

752
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,040
And nothing was happening. 
And I'm like, fucking do that 

753
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,640
like that proper. 
I don't have you ever had it? 

754
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:27,120
Like you're dying so bad and 
there's like, there's no noise. 

755
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:29,400
Yes, all of a sudden you're 
freezing. 

756
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:31,200
Yep. 
Well then I go the other way, I 

757
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:34,200
I get. 
Roast I get, I get so fucking 

758
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:35,920
cold. 
I'm like, Jesus Christ, right? 

759
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,760
But there's a guy in the front 
row who he was wearing a 

760
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,880
pinstripe suit and his hair 
slicked back with a fucking like

761
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:45,200
a rose and stuff. 
And I'm like, look at you. 

762
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:46,600
But like trying to make a 
godfather. 

763
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:48,720
Bit of a gangster joke. 
And as I'm saying it, I'm like, 

764
00:37:48,720 --> 00:37:51,880
I recognise him from TV. 
Turned out he's one of these 

765
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:57,240
really kind of sort of late, 
like mid to late 90s flamboyant 

766
00:37:57,240 --> 00:37:59,480
paramilitary. 
Fuck. 

767
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,000
Right, so I'd be like, you're a 
bit of a gangster. 

768
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:05,240
And I swear to God, he just like
like that. 

769
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,320
And the floor manager's going 
just wrapping up, maybe just 

770
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:11,520
wrapping up. 
It was horrible. 

771
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:16,280
Yeah, I got lulled into such 
false, false sense of security 

772
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:18,520
doing that because the first one
was so good. 

773
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:21,200
And then the secretary, they 
just didn't even tell me that my

774
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,920
Mcfetridge was doing it. 
They were like, listen, I never.

775
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,720
Combined I've done like I've 
ever getting. 

776
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:27,920
I've got sacked off loading 
them. 

777
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,440
I've got sacked off after odd 
Gilbert. 

778
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,920
I did one of those and at one 
point they built a box and ring 

779
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:37,120
in the middle of the studio and 
they were like, can you do warm 

780
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,760
up during the So I'm trying to 
be like, hey, where you from? 

781
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:44,080
And there's like, and then the 
next week they were like, 

782
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:45,040
listen, what do you think? 
It worked? 

783
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:46,000
And I'm like, well, of course 
not. 

784
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:49,120
You're trying to get me to do 
stand up during, which is 

785
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,720
essentially a construction site 
after recording for four hours 

786
00:38:52,720 --> 00:38:54,720
when everybody wants to go home.
Like I'm not a, you know. 

787
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,200
Yeah, you don't want to be 
supported by riveting. 

788
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:01,240
Yeah, it was like I did it for 
like it was my sort of biggest 

789
00:39:01,240 --> 00:39:02,560
source of income for about a 
year. 

790
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:04,320
I. 
Remember you were doing the 

791
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,560
flat. 
I've seen you do 3 1/2 hours I 

792
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,800
think at sketchy. 
Yeah, that was a rough one. 

793
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:10,800
Like that was. 
And again, it's kind of a thing 

794
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,120
where like Sketchy was all right
because it was a comedy show. 

795
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,000
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 
But doing them for non comedy or

796
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:20,800
like you're just like I did one 
for like Stephen Nolan had a 

797
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:22,720
Christmas show called 5 Gold 
Rings. 

798
00:39:22,720 --> 00:39:26,080
Yes, a game show. 
And that was about 4 1/2 hours. 

799
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,520
Jesus. 
And I remember just beast just 

800
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:33,680
running out of stuff and at the 
very end, like the I don't know 

801
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:35,680
if he was the director or floor 
manager, not sure, but he was 

802
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:38,840
like Mac need you go on to 
another 10 minutes just to reset

803
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:40,120
this. 
And I went you can suck my Dick.

804
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:43,880
Like I literally just went no, 
like people. 

805
00:39:44,240 --> 00:39:47,760
Oh Christ, because you're the 
only person not in the credits 

806
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,960
so it's the most thankless job 
in TV. 

807
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,680
And sometimes I think people 
would prefer the audience would 

808
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:55,800
prefer just a fucking break. 
Just like there's definitely 

809
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:59,520
times where like I've been, you 
know, doing warm up and all 

810
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:01,160
they're doing is watching the 
camera reset. 

811
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:02,840
Like, oh, that's interesting. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, do. 

812
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:05,840
You know what I mean? 
I remember like Andrew Maxwell 

813
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,600
being like people who make TV 
don't know that nobody wants a 

814
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,760
warm up, but nobody's telling 
them because everybody wants the

815
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:15,600
gig. 
Yeah, yeah, the guy that did the

816
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:20,480
BBC Three thing stand up for 
live comedy was one of the best 

817
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:24,560
warm up guys I've seen. 
Yeah, because he had that thing 

818
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:28,240
of like material and crowd work 
like any, any good. 

819
00:40:28,240 --> 00:40:31,240
But but but I think he's like 
near nearly like a professional 

820
00:40:31,240 --> 00:40:32,680
warm up guy. 
Yeah, there are. 

821
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,600
I think there's like there's 
maybe four or five guys that was

822
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:40,200
kind of their main go to guys 
because I was getting big shows 

823
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:41,520
at one point because they 
couldn't do them. 

824
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:46,000
Right, right, right. 
Yeah, I was terrible, that one. 

825
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:47,920
I mean I was how long did? 
You do that for. 

826
00:40:48,720 --> 00:40:52,520
It was the first series that 
that Chris Evans, well, the only

827
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:54,120
series Chris Evans involved in, 
right. 

828
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,840
So it was like, I didn't know of
any episode, maybe 10 weeks. 

829
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:01,520
Chris Evans and Matthew No. 
Matt LeBlanc. 

830
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:05,680
Matt LeBlanc And you did like 
that's one of those ones where 

831
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:08,520
like now I'm thinking back and I
was like, did that am I make? 

832
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:10,120
Did I dream? 
Not that Mickey didn't know for 

833
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:12,040
Top Gear. 
It was one of those situations 

834
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:13,840
where I was like, how the fuck 
did I get? 

835
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:14,840
What? 
What the? 

836
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:16,760
What's the process of that? 
I wouldn't. 

837
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:18,720
I wouldn't have a clue. 
You don't want much for that. 

838
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,800
It's it's like the actual like 
on the deck. 

839
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:25,160
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 
So it's like, it's just terrible

840
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,560
because it's such a big show, so
I would get there. 

841
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:31,920
I always like, I always get down
really, really early from doing 

842
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,560
warm up because there's 
something about just being 

843
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:41,720
around the venue that helps me 
just like relax, not even relax.

844
00:41:41,720 --> 00:41:43,280
It's more a case of like getting
me more. 

845
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:45,800
It's more like getting amped up.
Right, right, right. 

846
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:46,640
Yeah. 
Yeah, you know what I mean. 

847
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:48,440
And then because it was in 
London as well, it was like, I 

848
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:51,440
don't want to take the chance of
just messing a tree in or 

849
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:52,920
something going wrong, so I'll 
just get here early. 

850
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:54,840
Fuck it. 
So I'd be hanging around all 

851
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:56,960
there. 
They've been like, do you want 

852
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:58,000
some lunch? 
And I'm like, I can't eat. 

853
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:01,360
I can't eat a bite because I 
just it was every week when it 

854
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:02,400
was. 
Oh Christ. 

855
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:06,480
Like basically because the 
audience are all just 

856
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:10,280
surrounding wherever they're 
shooting in the in the studio. 

857
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:12,520
Once they've finished that shot,
the audience all just fucking 

858
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:13,960
move. 
So all of a sudden your front 

859
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:19,000
rows, your back row ready like 
ongoing jokes with audience 

860
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,160
members, right. 
I remember one point like there 

861
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,680
was a guy in a Ferrari jacket 
and obviously you see somebody 

862
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:25,760
from here in a Ferrari jacket. 
That guy drives a Ford. 

863
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,240
Yeah, yeah. 
But you just love nuts corner. 

864
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:31,520
But on Top Gear that guy has a 
Ferrari. 

865
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:33,520
So I was like, where the Ferrari
jacket? 

866
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:35,080
What are you really driving? 
He's like, I drive that. 

867
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,400
I'm pointing it like a half 
£1,000,000 car and you're like, 

868
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:41,120
yeah, my walk deal with stuff 
doesn't beat. 

869
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:44,000
Yes, the fact. 
These people love this shit. 

870
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:46,440
Yeah, yeah. 
So it was just like, I remember 

871
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:50,160
like Kevin Hart was a guest on 
it and I was eating Dick and 

872
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,000
there was a really nice one 
where I walked past them and it 

873
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:56,280
was like 2 comedians going like 
do like, like that's happened a 

874
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:57,960
few times on different shows 
I've worked on, but there's been

875
00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:59,760
a stand up on it being like, 
I've been there. 

876
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:04,320
Yeah, but. 
You just don't like stand up. 

877
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:07,520
There's nothing worse than stand
up for people don't want or know

878
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:09,960
what's happening. 
You have to know like music's 

879
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:12,840
fine like for that kind of 
thing, but you have to be like 

880
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:17,920
going to see stand up SAP face 
in the stage and, and so. 

881
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:21,960
Into music's fine, like I know a
lot of people that like go to 

882
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:24,600
see music gigs and all they do 
is complain about people just 

883
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:26,040
talking over it, which must be a
pain in the hole. 

884
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,360
Because I do that. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

885
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:30,880
Like I've been in situation 
where there's a band playing 

886
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:32,920
bands class but someone says do 
you want to pint? 

887
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,320
And all of a sudden I'm like, I 
saw them one time and then it's 

888
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:36,320
just. 
Yeah. 

889
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:40,640
But yeah, trying to force stand 
up in the like in the people's 

890
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:43,680
faces is just especially when 
you're the stand up. 

891
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:48,240
Let me, let me ask you this, 
speaking like music and stand up

892
00:43:48,240 --> 00:43:52,680
and you know, when things can 
happen again, say the government

893
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:55,800
was like, listen, we're going to
go into another shutdown. 

894
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,800
But what we're going to do is 
we're opening everything for a 

895
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:02,680
day. 
Yeah, for 24 hours, everything's

896
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:05,080
open. 
You know, shops, bars, 

897
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:08,560
restaurants, whatever you want. 
What would you go and do? 

898
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:12,560
Gig all that. 
Yeah, just like just. 

899
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:14,000
Like I would just go right show 
to show. 

900
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:15,880
We're just going to go fucking 
9:00 in the morning right 

901
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:17,120
through to whatever time of 
night. 

902
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:23,040
Fuck would you how how class 
would that be to do AI like bar 

903
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:24,640
crawl? 
Yeah. 

904
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,440
So would you, would it be the 
same audience or are you going 

905
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:29,840
to a different audience every 
time? 

906
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:30,880
Yeah, I would go to different 
ones. 

907
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:33,800
I'd just be like, I would do it 
just like a day in Edinburgh 

908
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:35,800
where you just go, we're gonna 
run and do 15 minutes here. 

909
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:38,400

00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:50,720
That would just be all day like.
And then? 

913
00:44:50,720 --> 00:44:53,800
That's the one thing I miss the 
most, is like, even I was really

914
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:55,000
glad the Edinburgh friend was 
cancelled. 

915
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:58,720
Was this the first year? 
Was this the first year in seven

916
00:44:58,720 --> 00:45:01,560
years I've had like extra money?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 

917
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:05,720
Sorry, had some money or any 
money, but that's the one thing 

918
00:45:05,720 --> 00:45:07,680
I miss. 
Was like a Saturday at the 

919
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:09,000
Fringe. 
You'd be up, you'd be gay for 

920
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,080
11:00 in the morning. 
Yeah, just running back and 

921
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:12,920
forward like doing 15 foot here,
you know? 

922
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:16,280
And you complete like everyone. 
We all complain so much about 

923
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,440
that at the time, but how much 
would you give? 

924
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:21,240
To just like that was that's the
thing I love the most. 

925
00:45:21,240 --> 00:45:24,920
I think that's kind of, it suits
my kind of like, especially 

926
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:27,000
because you're just running in, 
you're not trying new stuff. 

927
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,000
It's like you run in and just 
crushing it. 

928
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:31,240
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 
All day and then you go to bed 

929
00:45:31,240 --> 00:45:34,000
like. 
Yeah, or you do that thing at 

930
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,880
the Fringe where you're like, 
see, in my spots, I'm going to 

931
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:39,360
write some new stuff and then 
I'm going to work material. 

932
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,240
In fact, I'm going to write my 
next year show at the Fringe. 

933
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:45,640
And then you do one bit of new 
stuff at a spot for the seven 

934
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:47,800
people and you're like, Nah, 
let's stick with the. 

935
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:50,480
I hadn't won the last time I 
did. 

936
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:53,120
It was a Tuesday night, so the 
last Tuesday for me was always 

937
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:55,520
just the worst, worst gig of the
run, right. 

938
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,120
So for the last couple of years 
I just like I just done a drunk 

939
00:45:58,200 --> 00:45:59,280
like fuck it, there's no one 
here. 

940
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:02,040
I'll just get pissed and then 
I'll go in and just fuck about. 

941
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:05,600
Yeah, and whatever. 
And for some reason it was sold 

942
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:09,280
out like this one shoes in out 
and I in my head, I didn't even 

943
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:10,360
know. 
So that like the front, the 

944
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:11,600
house guys didn't even tell me 
it was packed. 

945
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:15,280
So I just walked out and there's
100 people there and I'm half 

946
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:17,400
cut with all this new stuff in 
my head. 

947
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:20,560
So like I started doing new 
stuff and I was like fucking do 

948
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:24,120
the thing that PED to come and 
see died like just for an hour. 

949
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:25,280
Did you? 
Get caught in between where 

950
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:27,040
you're like, maybe I can mix 
them. 

951
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:27,400
Up. 
Yeah, there. 

952
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:28,880
Yeah. 
There was a point where it was 

953
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:30,240
like, why you do this thing? 
Makes sense. 

954
00:46:30,240 --> 00:46:32,200
What are you doing? 
And then I found out that, like 

955
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:34,120
Emily from friends, what's her 
name? 

956
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:36,200
The. 
Oh yeah, yeah. 

957
00:46:36,240 --> 00:46:37,680
Yeah, the English actress. 
Yeah. 

958
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:39,760
She's like come in with her 
mates because someone was like, 

959
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:42,960
this guys really, I don't even 
know why, but it was just one of

960
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:44,680
the situations where I was like 
the one night where there's 

961
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:46,160
somebody you really want to 
impress. 

962
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:49,080
Yeah, yeah. 
Because I mean, that can make 

963
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:51,760
your fringe if Emily from 
friends at the end of the shows,

964
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:53,200
like really enjoyed that. 
You're like, yeah. 

965
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:55,640
It sounds so stupid, but it's 
like, because you're so tired. 

966
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:56,920
Anybody going? 
That was great. 

967
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:58,600
Yeah, you're like, I've lost 12 
grand. 

968
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:02,000
I mean, I don't know if I've 
told you this story, but do I 

969
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:04,280
probably told you it again last 
time We're podcasting, but it 

970
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:07,520
all blends into one. 
Two years ago doing the fringe. 

971
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:12,040
Yeah, two years ago. 
And you were there, Aaron, 

972
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:15,560
Robbie, a couple others and I 
said I'm going to do the Fringe 

973
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:19,880
and we'll do 2 shows, 2 shows in
one day or two shows in two 

974
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:21,880
days. 
Anyway, I'm going to do a 60 

975
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:25,240
seater venue, small venue. 
I'm going to do 2 packed shows. 

976
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,000
I'm staying one night in 
Edinburgh and then I'm going 

977
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:30,320
home. 
It's going to cost me nothing. 

978
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:33,760
I might make a few quit. 
I'm consolidating a month of 

979
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:37,840
gigs and they're just two shows 
and I booked the assembly for 

980
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:42,080
like 1 of the good venues. 
We basement venue in there, good

981
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:44,560
setup. 
Brought William over to open for

982
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:50,120
me, did a maybe I maybe brought 
William open to do sport gigs 

983
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:52,920
were class. 
I was like this is unreal. 

984
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:55,120
I didn't go in the fringe 
brochure or anything just like 

985
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:57,640
put a couple of posts. 
I was like I've cracked it. 

986
00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:01,880
And every year I'm just coming 
to Edinburgh for 3/4 shows Max 

987
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:05,400
and I booked in like a decent 
hotel because it was like money 

988
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:07,320
going for a night then. 
I. 

989
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:11,000
Got home pay I'd paid for the 
hotel. 

990
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:14,200
I think my hotel was like £350 
for the night, which isn't even.

991
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:16,760
You'll know isn't even a good 
hotel in Edinburgh, IN. 

992
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:20,680
August Yeah, I can be an Ibis. 
Yeah, it was a, it was the Utel 

993
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:25,480
Japanese brand, right. 
So I'm in the Utel and there and

994
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:29,200
I got home and it's but a month 
later I got an e-mail from 

995
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:32,760
assembly, the venue and they 
were like blah, blah, blah, 

996
00:48:33,240 --> 00:48:37,480
invoice for £900. 
And I said yeah, yeah, no 

997
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:39,520
problem. 
And who do you sort of make it 

998
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:41,720
out to you or whatever? 
And they have, I told you this, 

999
00:48:41,720 --> 00:48:45,400
no, no. 
And they went no, no, no, we're,

1000
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:47,800
we're going to send you an 
invoice for £900. 

1001
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:52,680
Jesus Christ, I did. 2 sold out 
shoes, 65 people. 

1002
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:57,640
I think it was like an 11 quid a
ticket and I owe them about 

1003
00:48:57,640 --> 00:48:59,240
£900. 
It's insane. 

1004
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:02,640
I like even just doing the taxes
during the week and I looked at 

1005
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:05,760
the entire breakdown of it and I
was like, what in the name of 

1006
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:06,480
Edinburgh? 
Yeah. 

1007
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:07,840
Yeah. 
Yeah, yeah. 

1008
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:11,800
That's not even including like 
my accommodation, the extra 

1009
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:14,680
money I spent on a flyer and 
team that I stupidly paid cash 

1010
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:16,720
and didn't get a receipt for so 
can't even fucking came back. 

1011
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:20,960
And you're just looking at the 
whole thing and going like, so I

1012
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:27,360
think my show I made £750 on the
show which people go that's 

1013
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:32,000
great, but I'm like, no, I still
lost 4 grand of my own money. 

1014
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:36,120
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 
I work my balls off for a month 

1015
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:38,760
like it's it's second. 
Well people, the fact that the 

1016
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:41,160
Fringe was cancelled after the 
Olympics last year just shows 

1017
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:42,440
you how much of A money machine 
it is like. 

1018
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:45,880
Yeah, yeah, unlike this set, it 
fuels the city of Edinburgh. 

1019
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:49,400
I mean, I know the the residents
say they hate it, but like, if 

1020
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:53,000
you own a business in Edinburgh,
you're going to be OK for you 

1021
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:54,960
just get to August and then 
you're all right. 

1022
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:57,040
Yeah, it's. 
One of those I kind of get 

1023
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:59,560
really, if you're out flying, 
it's happened to me a few times.

1024
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:02,040
Like I've handed a flyer to 
someone and then they're just 

1025
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:04,800
bitching about me in like to 
their weight when I'm still 

1026
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:07,200
there. 
Like I just hate the friends. 

1027
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:08,640
Like you're trying to have a 
conversation. 

1028
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:10,840
Other people are coming down 
handing your Flyers and I'm 

1029
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,600
like, we'll go to a pub where 
it's not in. 

1030
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:17,080
Glasgow I mean fuck off, don't 
come into this. 

1031
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:20,480
Where there's loads of shows on,
I didn't get annoyed because 

1032
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:21,760
someone's like, would you like 
to see one? 

1033
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:24,280
Yeah. 
I I was a good flyer. 

1034
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:26,040
I wouldn't have never flyer from
my own show. 

1035
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:29,800
Just I didn't want people to ask
me quick go, are you funny? 

1036
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:32,640
I just I don't like I would get 
someone else to do it, but I 

1037
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:35,280
used to flyer for Chris Kent and
I was I was good. 

1038
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:37,120
I was good. 
I like I was a good flyer. 

1039
00:50:37,720 --> 00:50:40,560
Yeah, technique because it just 
takes care of the crowd. 

1040
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:42,600
Work because I don't mind. 
Kind of. 

1041
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:43,720
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 
Being. 

1042
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:48,000
A deck Would you be an idiot and
then because you there's times 

1043
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:49,840
you can definitely notice this 
but like when I did the free 

1044
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:52,160
fringe, which I'll definitely we
do it again if it comes back 

1045
00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:54,880
that was it was just problem 
solved. 

1046
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:57,240
You just got to start everyone 
we talk to, yeah. 

1047
00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:01,160
Yeah, yeah. 
Ah, the fringe. 

1048
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:08,040
I mean, I was planning to do it 
last year and then I was like, 

1049
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:09,720
oh, maybe I'll do it this year 
if we get to do it. 

1050
00:51:09,720 --> 00:51:12,840
But now I'm like, I don't know 
about next year if it's on. 

1051
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:13,880
I don't know if I would do it. 
I. 

1052
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:16,520
I don't think, I think it'll be 
2023. 

1053
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:20,040
Well, it's definitely not going 
to be as big as it was, I don't 

1054
00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:20,960
think. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

1055
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:23,320
And kind of that's a good thing 
because it was too big. 

1056
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:25,960
It was, it was ridiculous, like.
Maybe the likes of the three 

1057
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:29,240
sisters that have like courtyard
type things, maybe that's maybe 

1058
00:51:29,240 --> 00:51:31,440
that's the way to go. 
Well, that's why I was I was 

1059
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:33,760
planning to go to a bar next 
door to the stand. 

1060
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:37,000
The nightcap, it just has a wee 
sort of down to like a 40 

1061
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:42,160
theatre just because, and it 
was, it wasn't even like a busy 

1062
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:44,720
part of town, but it was like 
it's going to cost £150 and not 

1063
00:51:44,720 --> 00:51:47,040
12 grand. 
Yeah, Who do we did you ever 

1064
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:48,920
get? 
Did Steve Coogan come to see 

1065
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:49,720
your show? 
No. 

1066
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:52,280
No, I met him. 
So I was over. 

1067
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:57,360
I was just in a bar or in the 
the underbelly. 

1068
00:51:57,560 --> 00:51:59,160
What the the abattoir. 
Yeah. 

1069
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:02,480
And a guy that I'd. 
So Steve Coogan was just there 

1070
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:05,320
having a pint and a guy that I 
know who works as a producer. 

1071
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:08,240
BBC was like, fuck Steve Coogan.
Fuck Steve Coogan and I'm like 

1072
00:52:08,240 --> 00:52:11,280
mate, chill out. 
Like there's loads of famous 

1073
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:12,120
people here. 
Yeah, yeah. 

1074
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:14,240
He was like, I want to go talk 
to him and I was like, well, I'm

1075
00:52:14,240 --> 00:52:18,600
fucking going with you like and 
then the guy was like he was 

1076
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:22,800
really sad because the the the 
producer and his his girlfriend.

1077
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:25,080
He's also comedian were both 
property like. 

1078
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:27,000
I'm like, well, do I know this 
person? 

1079
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:31,120
You might think Richard. 
Nah. 

1080
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:34,160
Nah, I'll tell you. 
I'll tell you all of her. 

1081
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:37,720
But there were both just like, I
mean, they were both shit faces.

1082
00:52:37,720 --> 00:52:41,120
Well, we're all drunk. 
And I went, I just want to see 

1083
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:44,520
like the the Irish guy singing 
the IRS songs in Parkinson. 

1084
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:46,280
I went, that's literally one of 
the funniest things I've seen in

1085
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:47,400
my life. 
And he was like, oh, just 

1086
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:49,440
fucking. 
I was like, your impression was 

1087
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:50,720
fantastic. 
And he went, I grew up with 

1088
00:52:50,720 --> 00:52:52,920
people like that, you know? 
And then he was like, here's a 

1089
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:55,160
flyer for your show. 
And I'm like, thanks for taking 

1090
00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:58,720
it. 
But yeah, like, and then I 

1091
00:52:58,720 --> 00:53:01,320
immediately felt bad for for 
being like, thanks for taking. 

1092
00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:03,840
I know you're not coming because
that's such a fucking needy 

1093
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:05,880
thing to do. 
Yeah, yeah. 

1094
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:08,680
People in the go and like. 
Yeah, yeah. 

1095
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:11,480
You see so many comedians over 
there, like at 4:00 in the 

1096
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:15,360
morning being like, why didn't 
you come see me and someone? 

1097
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:19,080
Yeah, or like or people just 
gravitating towards. 

1098
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:22,000
There's nothing worse than like 
when you see somebody famous and

1099
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:25,960
then you see comedians edge 
their conversation closer to the

1100
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:28,080
person. 
It's like I don't go and say or 

1101
00:53:28,240 --> 00:53:30,280
or don't. 
Yeah, it's that kind of 

1102
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:32,360
situation where like the Gilda 
balloon bar that everyone talks 

1103
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:35,160
about, like when someone walks 
in and somebody could be like, 

1104
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:37,360
yeah, she agreed to see you, and
then they go like that two 

1105
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:39,160
seconds and they're just gone. 
Yeah, yeah. 

1106
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:42,160
Yeah, and you're like. 
Yeah, they're like, oh, I've 

1107
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:46,840
just got to go there fucking, 
you know, trying to think of a 

1108
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:49,400
friend of ours who would make 
this funny, but I can. 

1109
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:54,360
Yeah, the. 
Only guy that was in every bar 

1110
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:57,320
at once. 
I know, but he's, I remember one

1111
00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:01,000
time he turned up, I had like a 
really heavy night out and I 

1112
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,080
came out of my show and Jamal, 
which is there with the swimming

1113
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:04,680
bag, he's like, I've just been 
to the pool, He's going to go 

1114
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:06,240
for a pint. 
And I was like, I can't even 

1115
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:09,400
fucking think. 
Like please no. 

1116
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:13,240
I've got a visual idea in my 
head of Jim Owen just very 

1117
00:54:13,240 --> 00:54:15,680
slowly but gracefully breast 
stroking through a pool. 

1118
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:18,480
And there's something very 
tranquil about that for me. 

1119
00:54:18,720 --> 00:54:21,200
Very. 
I, I, I'm a thing where I, I 

1120
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:23,280
believe that he, yeah, he's 
doing it, but he doesn't even 

1121
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:24,840
have his nose. 
It's just the eyebrows. 

1122
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:33,200
Just to see if people laugh. 
I've got them. 

1123
00:54:33,240 --> 00:54:36,520
I've got questions here from 
from listeners. 

1124
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:37,800
Let's get stuck in a few of 
them. 

1125
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:44,800
And Oh yeah, the picture I put 
up of us was at the wrap party 

1126
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:47,120
for our award-winning sketch 
show. 

1127
00:54:48,240 --> 00:54:50,600
Laugh out loud. 
Lol, trying to think was that, 

1128
00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:51,440
was that the one? 
It was? 

1129
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:56,040
And yeah, and look, you and I 
just wrote said did you book 

1130
00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:58,960
swap outfits for the pitcher? 
No, but we were drunk enough to 

1131
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:01,320
have done that. 
Yeah, that way I could have been

1132
00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:03,160
a potential. 
That was a very joking night. 

1133
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:06,640
We went to rain, remember? 
We went to we started upstairs 

1134
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:10,840
in murals was like the official 
kind of party and you may give 

1135
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:14,680
us you may give a speech. 
I don't remember that. 

1136
00:55:14,720 --> 00:55:17,920
Yeah, yeah, Ray, the producer 
was as a joke, like, why don't 

1137
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:19,960
you guys get up? 
Speech, speech, give a speech, 

1138
00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:22,680
Did not want us to do it. 
And you and me got up and just 

1139
00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:26,280
like did a very, very funny 
joint speech. 

1140
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:29,800
Well, we were thanking. 
People, there's a photo from 

1141
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:34,120
that night where like, it's all 
of us in rain and everybody in 

1142
00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:37,080
that show still looks great now 
except me. 

1143
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:39,440
And in the photo I'm looking at 
someone's general. 

1144
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:40,440
I'm like, well, that's what 
happened. 

1145
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:47,840
It's a snapshot of complexion. 
I mean, there were three. 

1146
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:54,640
Yeah, I mean, if, if that night 
out happened now, if like the 

1147
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:57,520
venue, that's rain. 
If you walked in and you saw me,

1148
00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:01,680
you call him Ashlyn B, Yasmin 
Akram and whoever else should be

1149
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:04,480
like, what the fuck is going on?
How do these people know each 

1150
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:06,880
other? 
I know. 

1151
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:10,960
Fucking hell. 
Matthew Merlin says, would you 

1152
00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:13,680
accept the spare vaccine if they
called you right now? 

1153
00:56:13,720 --> 00:56:18,000
That's a great question. 
And yeah, I think what he means 

1154
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:20,560
is like, well, I'll interpret it
this way. 

1155
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:25,800
Say you know, someone that works
for either like, you know, a 

1156
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:29,600
medic like the NHS or, or 
whatever or, or, or one of the 

1157
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:33,160
big pharma companies and they're
like, listen, got a few vaccines

1158
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:34,640
left over here. 
Yeah. 

1159
00:56:34,720 --> 00:56:36,440
You're not taking it away from 
someone. 

1160
00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:39,000
It's just, it's going to be, 
it's going in the bin anyway. 

1161
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:41,120
You may as well leave it. 
Would you? 

1162
00:56:41,720 --> 00:56:45,920
Would you get it? 
No, I'm kind of like, I think 

1163
00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:48,600
like let the people that really 
need it and really, really want 

1164
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:51,400
them to get it first, but it's. 
Going in the bed if you don't, 

1165
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:56,360
is this a play way of you saying
you don't want, you're not 

1166
00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:59,440
hungry, you don't want it? 
I'm all right, thank you. 

1167
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:03,200
No, it's not like I would have 
poked with this one where I'm 

1168
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:05,960
like, if I fucking have to get 
it, I'll get it right, Right, 

1169
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:07,760
right. 
But at the minute I'm like, 

1170
00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:12,120
because it, it doesn't stop you 
getting COVID. 

1171
00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:14,320
It just like produces the 
symptoms. 

1172
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:19,160
Yeah, but for somebody in their 
30s who's reasonably healthy, 

1173
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:20,240
the symptoms aren't that fucking
bad. 

1174
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:21,520
So I'm like, I'll just text. 
Well. 

1175
00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:23,440
You might not have a choice 
because you know, what they're 

1176
00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:26,760
going to do is, I can't remember
who was talking about in this 

1177
00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:29,880
podcast before, all the sort of 
teenagers in high vis that 

1178
00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:32,040
worked on at the test centres, 
you know, like waving in and 

1179
00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:34,600
stuff. 
They're giving them blow darts 

1180
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:37,120
and vaccines. 
I've heard that in the next 

1181
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:39,600
couple of months and they're 
just going to say like run a 

1182
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:42,640
boat and just get people so. 
I'll tell you what, like I 

1183
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:44,640
wasn't even up for getting 
tested for it and then I found 

1184
00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:46,800
that they're going to swab your 
arsehole and now I'm like, sign 

1185
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:53,080
me up. 
I've done up before tests, I've 

1186
00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:56,320
already taken just. 
Every day you're like, well, we 

1187
00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:59,360
tickle here. 
I think I've gone as I'm away. 

1188
00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:03,000
I'll be back in a minute my cut 
the arse into my jeans. 

1189
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:05,920
The way to get tested. 
Oh, it's not the cotton, but 

1190
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:11,840
don't. 
Try to kiss it and go me. 

1191
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:16,200
Listen, I know you have to do my
throat too, but listen, they 

1192
00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:18,160
are, they are after it's 
actually. 

1193
00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:20,800
Turning up a bottle of poppers. 
Fucking test me twice. 

1194
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:33,480
Oren OK you're there at noon is 
any 4:00 to Oren OK and says any

1195
00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:35,320
England and wind venues might 
open again. 

1196
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:40,440
Fuming here on the Lisburn Rd. 
A fuming fuming on the Lisburn 

1197
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:43,280
Rd sounds like a local rappers 
album. 

1198
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:47,040
Now we could spend our time. 
I think it was, I think what 

1199
00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:48,840
happened to me on a real when I 
went to Chalcos and it was 

1200
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:51,000
closed when. 
You went to where? 

1201
00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:53,960
Chalcos and they closed. 
I was just fucking stand there 

1202
00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:56,560
fuming. 
What is that a chippy or a 

1203
00:58:57,080 --> 00:58:58,080
burrito place? 
You ever? 

1204
00:58:58,080 --> 00:59:00,640
Did you ever go to Chalcos? 
Is this on Botanic? 

1205
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:05,000
No, it was enlistment Rd. 
It was like no, no, it was 

1206
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:05,920
class. 
It was. 

1207
00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:09,160
Many people believed it was 
superior to Budgum at the time, 

1208
00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:11,280
but we'll not go into that. 
It's another conspiracy theory 

1209
00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:13,880
for later on. 
It's a big one that no one's 

1210
00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:15,880
talking about. 
Well, I'd listen. 

1211
00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:24,600
Black beans fuck up. 
Matt says if Mickey and Aaron 

1212
00:59:24,600 --> 00:59:27,600
trying to figure out what iron 
he's talking about will go with 

1213
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:29,720
which iron do I think he's 
talking about? 

1214
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:33,120
I'll know by the end of the 
question, I reckon. 

1215
00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:36,280
If Mickey and Aaron were the 
were your only options as 

1216
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:40,840
babysitters for you to take a 
nice romantic weekend, who who 

1217
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:43,160
would you pick to look after 
your child and how scared would 

1218
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:49,600
you be so? 
If I would say no matter what it

1219
00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:51,880
is, my advice to you would be 
let me do it. 

1220
00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:54,800
I think, I think he's talking 
about Aaron Butler, because when

1221
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:57,480
Butler was on the podcast, I 
think we talked about that. 

1222
00:59:57,560 --> 01:00:00,120
And so I would say, yeah, that's
what it is. 

1223
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:04,560
Aaron Butler is Dave's daughter,
Matilda's godfather. 

1224
01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:06,840
I'm his other daughter, Holly's 
godfather. 

1225
01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:11,280
I said to Dave, you better hope 
you don't die because Holly will

1226
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:14,920
be OK. 
But you know, But Matilda, like,

1227
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:16,280
I don't. 
I don't know what I'm going to, 

1228
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:18,080
I think. 
Matilda would grow to be a gay 

1229
01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:25,480
wee boy. 
I think, I think, but I think 

1230
01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:27,480
Butler would surprise you. 
I think, I think it's hurts. 

1231
01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:28,800
In the right place, he'd do a 
good job. 

1232
01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:31,760
But who would I pick as a 
babysitter? 

1233
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:35,480
I mean, you definitely have 
experience with your nephew. 

1234
01:00:35,840 --> 01:00:38,040
Yeah, I'm like I'm a baby 
whisperer. 

1235
01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:40,360
Yeah, I've heard this. 
Colin told me that, he said. 

1236
01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:41,760
I can't remember what we're 
saying. 

1237
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:43,280
Eagles. 
Mickey is very good with 

1238
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:45,480
children. 
Yeah, just the wee fuck it. 

1239
01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:47,760
I just, I just like, especially 
whenever they're old enough to 

1240
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:49,600
start throwing, like hitting and
stuff. 

1241
01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:52,800
And my nephew's 2 now and I'm 
we've got a great thing going 

1242
01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:54,680
on. 
You taking them to you tune to 

1243
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:57,920
the church hall. 
He's got exactly, yeah. 

1244
01:00:58,760 --> 01:01:00,280
Certain certain out you're a 
Nissan. 

1245
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:03,040
Wax bottom we burn on chucks and
stuff. 

1246
01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:05,800
Yeah, I'd have. 
I'd have. 

1247
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:08,120
I'd have no problem with that. 
I'd have no problem with you 

1248
01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:09,960
looking. 
After I don't know if no one 

1249
01:01:10,080 --> 01:01:11,160
takes us yet, I'll be like, 
listen. 

1250
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:15,680
It's been fun, but yeah. 
Yeah, we're not there yet. 

1251
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:18,600
Well, the good thing is, like 
me, he does not chip. 

1252
01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:20,840
Oh, really? 
Yeah, just. 

1253
01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:23,200
At all or just like? 
No, I'm like Kim Jong Un. 

1254
01:01:23,840 --> 01:01:27,240
I just, I just don't take me and
Baby Spice. 

1255
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:29,280
We just, we just don't. 
You still do it? 

1256
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:32,240
Yeah. 
No, it's a very. 

1257
01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:35,680
Don't once. 
Once it no, I do. 

1258
01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:40,440
But once a year I go to 
Tollymore Forest and I go to a 

1259
01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:43,760
certain enchanted little lake 
and then I just put my pants 

1260
01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:46,440
down there and just put it and 
then just that's me for the 

1261
01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:48,240
year. 
Yeah, because it blows the 

1262
01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:52,360
whistle. 
Yeah, yeah, just flies off. 

1263
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:54,160
Yeah, I went there once. 
As weird as fuck. 

1264
01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:58,000
Tallymore, don't you? 
Usually you're not really an 

1265
01:01:58,000 --> 01:01:59,760
outdoor guy, you're more. 
No, I like the shit. 

1266
01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:01,080
I like the shit in the house. 
That you're human? 

1267
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:03,480
Yeah. 
Are you weird about where you 

1268
01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:07,840
shit? 
Not as much as I used to be like

1269
01:02:09,160 --> 01:02:11,280
I think just from like from 
doing stand up and being away so

1270
01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:14,000
much. 
You just like, yeah, it doesn't 

1271
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:19,240
matter. 
But I do have like if I will 

1272
01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:21,600
locate the nearest Wetherspoons 
because I have learned that 

1273
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:24,400
years on the road have taught me
that's the safest, nicest places

1274
01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:26,360
yet. 
Oh, I mean, that's going to 

1275
01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:28,920
surprise a lot of people that 
like you think it's a well 

1276
01:02:28,920 --> 01:02:30,960
maintained sort. 
Of they've got big, big, big 

1277
01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:33,120
doors where you're in, you're 
not necessarily in a cubicle, 

1278
01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:35,360
you're in a small en suite. 
Oh, right. 

1279
01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:38,400
OK. 
Regularly, You know, I remember 

1280
01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:41,080
one time flying back to New York
and before got in the plane, I 

1281
01:02:41,080 --> 01:02:42,200
was like, I think I might need 
one. 

1282
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:44,920
Looked at the toilets at New 
York airport. 

1283
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:46,480
Just went I'm not doing that, 
Yeah. 

1284
01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:49,080
Yeah, airport. 
What is it with an air? 

1285
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:51,360
For some reason the airport is 
that maybe people have been 

1286
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:52,720
holding it for a while or 
something. 

1287
01:02:52,720 --> 01:02:55,960
But an airport is not good, I 
found. 

1288
01:02:56,520 --> 01:02:58,280
I mean, you can't. 
Most hotels are good. 

1289
01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:00,840
Yeah. 
You know if you. 

1290
01:03:00,840 --> 01:03:02,400
Just usually good. 
Yeah, I know. 

1291
01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:05,560
Like I've had situations where 
flying to Australia we're like 

1292
01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:09,440
stopping in Abu Dhabi and 
there's a massive queue and I'm 

1293
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:10,680
like, I want to use the hole in 
the ground. 

1294
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:14,640
Fuck it. 
And I could not figure out the 

1295
01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:18,880
mechanics of actually just, I 
was like, do you take everything

1296
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:21,280
off and then shit in the hole or
are you supposed to just move 

1297
01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:23,120
your jeans and go for it? 
Yeah, take it. 

1298
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:24,920
I'd take. 
I'd go down to the ankles. 

1299
01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:27,760
By the time I'd done all the 
calculations, somebody knocked 

1300
01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:28,880
the door and I said, well now I 
can't go. 

1301
01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:30,200
Is there something for you to 
hold on to? 

1302
01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:32,760
No. 
There is, I think, I think it 

1303
01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:34,720
was the sort of we handle thing,
but it was just like. 

1304
01:03:35,720 --> 01:03:38,680
Yeah, I think, I think I'd be OK
with that. 

1305
01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:41,280
Like, yeah, I had to during the 
summer. 

1306
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:44,920
I was out for a run and I had to
go. 

1307
01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:47,960
Outside. 
Yeah, just literally at the 

1308
01:03:47,960 --> 01:03:49,720
site. 
Yes, just at the side of the 

1309
01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:52,400
just at the side of the road in 
a, in a, in a, in a Bush. 

1310
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:55,240
Now, how do you what did you do 
to work with Rome? 

1311
01:03:56,680 --> 01:03:59,400
So first of all, I. 
Your dad's probably all right 

1312
01:03:59,400 --> 01:04:00,480
enough. 
It's not an issue. 

1313
01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:04,040
It's not really an issue, but I 
did it so fast because I read 

1314
01:04:04,040 --> 01:04:08,760
Andy McNabb said that through 
his experience in the Army. 

1315
01:04:09,560 --> 01:04:13,200
If you, if you do quick, if it's
a clean break, you're probably 

1316
01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:14,840
going to be OK. 
Don't waste your time. 

1317
01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:19,320
So I, I just had a clean break 
and I was relatively OK. 

1318
01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:21,400
I mean, I wouldn't go seeking 
it, you know what I mean? 

1319
01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:25,600
I like indoors but. 
I do a thing where I'm quite 

1320
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:26,800
regular when it comes to shit as
well. 

1321
01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:30,760
Shit first thing in the morning,
but then I will also make sure I

1322
01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:32,000
have a shit before I do a 
worker. 

1323
01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:36,360
Right, OK. 
I I would like, I don't know, I 

1324
01:04:36,360 --> 01:04:37,320
don't know if most people do 
that. 

1325
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:39,160
I would just make sure I'm 
completely empty before I do any

1326
01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:40,680
activity have. 
You ever needed to shit on 

1327
01:04:40,680 --> 01:04:45,680
stage? 
No of like I've ran off stage 

1328
01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:48,160
needing the piss. 
I don't even think I have. 

1329
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:51,800
And you know, you and me might 
do a 7080 minute show. 

1330
01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:54,720
Yeah, and that's weird that you 
would never think to, but it's 

1331
01:04:54,720 --> 01:04:57,440
the adrenaline thing, isn't? 
It I do remember one time having

1332
01:04:57,440 --> 01:05:00,480
a stomach bug and I was doing 
support for Katie and we were on

1333
01:05:00,480 --> 01:05:04,960
at the waterfront and dear McCoy
was so we were both doing 

1334
01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:06,760
support and he was bringing me 
on from the off stage. 

1335
01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:11,640
Mike and I was like I need to go
now yeah I'm going to shit 

1336
01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:17,360
during your set yeah and the mic
wasn't working and he was like 

1337
01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:19,440
no, he's trying to call me back 
and I was like I don't give AI 

1338
01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:23,200
just walked out cold 2000 people
just like yeah this has to 

1339
01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:26,520
happen now yeah also one time 
doing a corporate yeah it was 

1340
01:05:26,520 --> 01:05:30,920
pretty rough, but yeah the shit 
tends it tends to be like you'll

1341
01:05:30,920 --> 01:05:33,120
be fine for half an hour or an 
hour and a half whatever yeah 

1342
01:05:33,120 --> 01:05:35,800
but a piss is like if I. 
Do you need to go? 

1343
01:05:36,040 --> 01:05:37,400
Yeah. 
Yeah. 

1344
01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:40,280
All right. 
Well, on that note, I think 

1345
01:05:40,280 --> 01:05:42,000
we'll wrap it up. 
I'm going to let you go. 

1346
01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:46,080
It's been a good time Deck Chair
and Youngs is killing it. 

1347
01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:48,920
Check us out, we've got a camera
online so we're on. 

1348
01:05:48,960 --> 01:05:52,680
Great podcast, I saw that. 
Are you doing public like 

1349
01:05:52,680 --> 01:05:55,160
YouTube videos or the the video 
episodes are for Patreon? 

1350
01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:58,800
The video at the minutes just 
for Patreon, because we've we'll

1351
01:05:58,800 --> 01:06:00,960
have the trend pay the guy who's
filmed it in Edinburgh because 

1352
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:04,240
we don't have any computers, 
right. 

1353
01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:06,080
So at the minutes just for 
Patreon, and then I think we'll 

1354
01:06:06,080 --> 01:06:09,440
start releasing some stuff after
we've got a few in the bag kind 

1355
01:06:09,560 --> 01:06:10,840
of thing. 
I like it. 

1356
01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:12,840
I like it bro in. 
Business sensor. 

1357
01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:16,640
All right, to chain, I haven't 
finished this series of Cobra 

1358
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:20,840
Kai, but I'm going to over the 
next week and I'm excited about 

1359
01:06:20,840 --> 01:06:24,160
it and I'll be thinking of you. 
Thanks very much but I haven't 

1360
01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:25,680
finished this series of Queer 
Eye but. 

1361
01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:35,840
I mean, if you put them all in a
pot, this is what you're getting

1362
01:06:35,840 --> 01:06:37,960
when they come out. 
Yeah, unintended. 

1363
01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:40,840
No, there is. 
There is actually one I look 

1364
01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:42,560
like. 
Oh, is it red? 

1365
01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:44,640
Yeah, the black. 
You do have that thing where you

1366
01:06:44,640 --> 01:06:46,880
look like you do have that kind 
of handsome, I look like 

1367
01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:48,000
everybody kind of thing going 
on. 

1368
01:06:48,240 --> 01:06:50,960
I I mean, I look like I could be
from a lot of different places. 

1369
01:06:50,960 --> 01:06:54,280
I could be Scandinavian, it 
could be German, it could be 

1370
01:06:54,280 --> 01:06:57,360
Spanish, I could be from a lot 
of places. 

1371
01:06:57,360 --> 01:07:01,120
I don't know what it is, but my 
face, but it's a very like if 

1372
01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:03,400
you were creating a character on
a computer game, you might start

1373
01:07:03,400 --> 01:07:05,320
with my face. 
Do you know what I mean? 

1374
01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:08,880
Like it's a standard. 
Yes I've got I think my face is 

1375
01:07:09,040 --> 01:07:10,880
if it's a computer game thing. 
Mine is one of those non 

1376
01:07:10,880 --> 01:07:12,840
playable characters that gives 
you information about your 

1377
01:07:12,840 --> 01:07:25,200
quest. 
You can maybe like Master Todd. 

1378
01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:39,200
Can you do me a favour and, and 
someday just in real life when 

1379
01:07:39,200 --> 01:07:41,480
I'm like going to buy shopping 
or something, can you just pop 

1380
01:07:41,480 --> 01:07:44,400
up from somewhere and just 
guide? 

1381
01:07:44,480 --> 01:07:49,280
Me. 
You don't have enough silver. 

1382
01:07:53,640 --> 01:07:55,720
For some reason you're half frog
half man. 

1383
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:02,560
Not even in the game. 
Oh, that's enjoyable. 

1384
01:08:02,600 --> 01:08:06,760
All right, well, I'm going to 
let you go, but great to chat to

1385
01:08:06,760 --> 01:08:07,600
you and that. 
Yeah. 

1386
01:08:07,600 --> 01:08:11,360
Cheerful in the pod. 
What day? 

1387
01:08:13,520 --> 01:08:14,480
Tuesday. 
Tuesday morning. 

1388
01:08:14,640 --> 01:08:17,760
Tuesday morning and you just do 
a quiz on most Fridays, yeah. 

1389
01:08:18,040 --> 01:08:19,720
Or Friday nights. 
So cheers. 

1390
01:08:19,720 --> 01:08:23,520
Join on speaker if you want to. 
Ask me any question, like one 

1391
01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:25,720
question just the leaves on that
you've had recently that stands 

1392
01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:26,479
out. 
Maybe a? 

1393
01:08:26,479 --> 01:08:31,680
General knowledge, How are you? 
I'm 90% good. 

1394
01:08:31,920 --> 01:08:35,800
I had a wobble last week and 
mainly because I'm missing stand

1395
01:08:35,800 --> 01:08:38,200
up a lot and I hadn't really 
thought about that and processed

1396
01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:41,640
it and I was just being a bit 
glum. 

1397
01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:44,439
But it was mainly because I 
didn't know why I wasn't feeling

1398
01:08:44,439 --> 01:08:46,160
like myself. 
And then it was like I haven't 

1399
01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:50,160
done the thing that I have 
always done for the last 1314 

1400
01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:52,800
years of my life. 
So when I thought about that, 

1401
01:08:53,319 --> 01:08:56,000
I've been better since then, 
Right? 

1402
01:08:56,439 --> 01:08:58,120
Good. 
How are you UK? 

1403
01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:01,640
Dead omen, plenty of skipping. 
Yeah. 

1404
01:09:02,880 --> 01:09:06,160
So. 
Yeah.
