appeals. Sponsor a Snow Leopard for as
little as three points a month. But what is more rewarding?
Sponsoring Snow Leopard or extra podcast content?
The answer, it's extra podcast content.
Make a donation to Snow Leopard right now because I've said that
we're sponsored as always by Thompson's Tea.
These are the guys that make Punjama mean anything to you.
It should because it's Northern Ireland's number one, selling
tea. Number one.
That's where we're at here. These guys make Punjana.
Look at this decaf Irish breakfast and then just original
Punjana. Thompson family have been making
tea since before you were born. Your dad, your dad's dad, your
dad's dad, they've been making tea for over 150 years.
That's insane. 150 years and they've been making tea for that
long. Do you know it tastes good?
You know, they don't mess for the recipe too much.
I mean, they might watch this and go, well, we actually told
you a few weeks ago we've totally reinvented the recipe.
As far as I know, it's the same Thompson's tea.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. And the Thompson family or they
go around the world when possible, you know, probably
might not have been able to in recent times, but you know, when
everything opens up, you know, they're just busting to get
their mouths around some, some tea plants in, in the likes of
India and other places. Thompson's tea, drink it, live
it, breathe it. We're also sponsored by
Manscaped. Let me ask you a question.

Let's get into this episode. Bit different today, my guest.
I haven't had a guest from this world.
Not that it's an alien well, podcast exclusive somehow.
What's it like living in Saturn, Gade?
You know, like you, I don't know how alien aliens would talk.
It's unlikely to be like slightly like us, but not that
far away. Gade still with a Northern
Ireland accent. My guest is here, so I've got to
go down and pick him up from downstairs.
My guest is Matthew McNabb. Matthew is from here, but was on
the the current or the most recent series of Love Island.
And like anyone doing a show like that from here, everyone's
watching it to be like, mate, what's he?
What's he going to say and do? Is he all right?
Sound this guy Watch a little bit of the show.
Sound this guy on it. Want to get him on to talk about
the process of the show, motivation behind it.
It's not going to be an hour of me going.
So what's this person like? What's that person like?
I want to know about the brain mechanics of it.
That's what I want to know. Seems like a very cool, chill
guy. Let's get him in here.
Let's do an episode. It's a tea with me podcast 321.
Boom boom boom. Let me hear you say why is this
first time you've been out of the house in like 10 days, two
weeks Yesterday was so I went to the local rock'n'roll, get my
sandwich in the morning. They're going mental.
I was like what the hell is this?
This is crazy. Did you fly?
So you left the show, fly home, then you go to quarantine.
But then as I'm not so weird like because you're you're
famous to a lot of people, a lot of people.
But, you know, we are to so to so many people though, you know,
rail recognizer rail. But but it's weird that so
before, by the way, I have so many questions about like, you
know, the process of the show and and your perception of how
you thought it would be to what it was.
But you you. So before this show, you are a
regular guy. You're not known to a wide
audience. Yeah.
Then you go in and all of a sudden, like literally
overnight, you're known by hundreds of thousands, if not
millions of people. Yeah.
But when you come home, it's not like, you know, you're out and
about and people seeing you. Yeah.
You're sort of like in this like limbo where like it's.
It is weird because like I suppose I see it through my
social media. I'm on my phone, I'm glued to my
phone right now. It's terrible kind of addiction,
but you see it through there. You just get messages like
constantly, constantly, like getting follows by like
thousands of people, like all the time.
And then you go I so I kind of got a glimpse of it when I left
the airport in Spain because I was in like the VIP lines.
They brought me into the VIP lines.
Never been in one of my life. Like I was loving it.
And I clean up with those like as in in terms of the buffet
because it's free. Oh, yeah.
Oh, just yeah. In your natural habitat.
Yeah. Yeah.
Wallets of people that leave jackets around.
You know what I mean? Like honestly, like clean up.
So is that in so you're in the VIP like in in the in Spanish
airport. Yeah, in Parliament in New York
and a woman came up to me and was like, can I have a picture?
And I was I was at a security guard this side and a shop room
this side as I was like, what is this like Samantha, what what
age are you thinking shop? I had a chaperone as well, like,
and the security guard was huge. Like, he's lovely guy, but he's
just a monster. Like, and did you want were you
hoping something would kick off and like, he would punch someone
for you? I just want to see it.
Like, you got it. You want to see that man in
action. Yeah, yeah, Like it'd be
dangerous. But got that.
And then went on the flight. By the way, how how weird is
that? For the first time someone comes
up to you Like, can I have a picture?
So strange. Like, I just was like me.
Yeah. Have you, did you think about,
like, have you thought in your head about, you know, what's
going to be your post? I don't really go to the left
side. I always go to the left side
because we have left. Yeah.
That's my stronger side. So I stand this side and I
always do this. Oh, yeah.
Yeah. Have you seen all my photos?
It's always this year, right. I don't know where I got it
from. I think the Rock.
Yeah. Big rock fan.
Use the eyebrow then. Yeah, it's got to be the
eyebrow. I can't even do that.
Don't know that much sound. So was it like when you came out
of the house and then like you're in the airport?
Did not coming home, did that feel like a whirlwind?
Yeah, Yeah, that was no, actually no.
What? It was chill because so I was in
the villa and then I was two days post, so I didn't have my
phone. I was just chilling in the post
villa. It's like the holding period.
And then you do like a lot of training and blah, blah, blah,
kind of train like media training type stuff or like
media, but not really media and mostly like financial legal,
like helping to deal with like mental health and stuff.
They're very good, ITV and stuff.
So I hate the financial side of it.
Doing training. I kind of be like, none, let me
take me to a water park, you know?
Yeah, I just want to go to strippers or something.
Fair enough. What's your chaperone?
That's not cool. Loaded.
Have to take your shot. Chaperone's the Rochelle and
she's the nicest woman ever and we're going out to London.
RH. I was talking her.
We're going out to London. We're getting smashed together
and just see you, like see where it goes.
I'm just picturing you at the strippers having to go up to
Rochelle and be like can I have some bills, please?
Can I have some money? She just has a wee bomb bag.
That's a sight like just like $1.00 bills, 1 lbs, right.
I have some, right. I have so many questions, but
let me, yeah, just here. Yeah.
If you move, you just move with it.
Oh, yeah, right. So I've got so many questions,
but let me start at the start. OK.
What, what made you want to do the show or how did you get in
on the show kind of come about? So I was just back from
California. My visa expired and I couldn't
renew it at that time. So I was back.
I was just working and stuff and they hit me up in Instagram.
I was like, I'm the type of characters does everything for
the adventure because I like fear is like something that
doesn't exist in my mind a lot of the time.
Like it's there, but I'm just like, I screw it.
Like I'm going through it. I don't have any, like,
hesitation. I I wish that I was more like
that. Yeah.
Is anytime I walk into a lift and the doors were open already.
Yeah, I will. I'll go very fast because I'm
like, these are going to close and kill me, you know?
I mean, like, that is a very real fear of mine.
Yeah. No, I feel that.
But I did it. I was just like, I'm going
straightforward. And then I was just like
chilling. Like I was like, they're like,
yo, you want to do a video? The questionnaire?
Oh, do you want to talk to this person?
You want to go to London, fly over and meet the producers?
I was like, yeah, dude. So my addition was funny though,
but so sorry. They.
So they came to you. Yeah.
As opposed to you applying for it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And which is pretty nice, like,
because I wouldn't have done it otherwise, because I just didn't
realise. I wouldn't have thought to.
Yeah, I wouldn't thought to have done it, but the addition was
funny because the night before I was my first time in London and
they paid for my flights, probably a taxi to the airport,
everything hotel like business class hotel or I don't know,
business suite or whatever. And then business suite.
Yeah, I feel you. But then the business stop
looking at me step into the business suite.
But my friend, I haven't seen it like 4 years was living there
and he was like, you want to come out?
And I was like, absolutely. So I went to Soho and got
absolutely smashed. I was in Soho on Saturday.
What a, what a place. Yeah, it's class popping off,
outdoor dining and stuff. Yeah, it's popping off.
It's unreal because you walk through like Oxford Street and
it's very like, you know, people just don't doing the shopping.
And then one straight away there's a guy in hot pants like
dancing the Vengaboys. And I was like, this is where I
need to be. I was living right there.
Like, yeah, yeah. So you go out.
Yeah, there for one night to like meet the producers.
Yeah. So it was, I slept the night.
I got in late sleep and then the morning, like 9:00 at the
addition or whatever. And when I thought I got
absolutely smashed, didn't get back to like, I think four or
five in the morning. And I got back and was like
vomiting everywhere. And then there it was like an R
to my addition. And I was like, like a state of
me, like, yeah. And then I got to the audition.
I was chilling, just talking away.
And I was grand. It's fine after that.
But I was, What do you do today? Like, is it like very, is it
like, you know, four people sitting across a table?
Is it very, like, formal or are you literally just meeting
people for a child? Literally just a chat, Like, so
initially you meet two producers, executive producers,
and they're just chatting, talking about whatever yourself
and whatever your experiences. And then they're like, yeah,
blah, blah, blah. And then you're going to meet
the two other producers. Executive producers did that,
and that's pretty much it. And then when do you find out
you're in? I think it was roughly like 3
weeks later. Yeah.
At the point where you're going over to London, do you have like
reservations about this? I know you're saying like you've
No Fear or not kind of thing, but are you, look, are you
thinking like, if I do this show, will this change for me or
that is, is there anything in your mind going like, you know,
there could be like a downside to this or you're like getting a
bad feeling? No, I just say yes and then
figure out the rest after that. I mean, it is a good it is a
good way to be just jump by the plane and see see how I land.
So three weeks you get the call like you're doing it.
Is this something like people that you know would like expect
you to go into or do you think a lot of people are like, I can't
believe he's done this show? No, I've been told that's a lot
of people expect me to do just because I'm the type of guy that
ends up and run in places. Like I was partying with
McGregor last January. I snuck into VIP and on Las
Vegas and I was partying like McGregor is right beside me and
there's a video he put up his Instagram and it's just me in
the bag. You can hear my I was videoing
it. I was him dancing as me and the
bag going just go, yeah, like I was like sloshed, like I was
rode off. Was it in the trouble?
Was just the two of you in the business suite because that's a
different kind of video and I want to see it.
She feel very much I want she live in like, yeah, like doing
that like sneaking into a Viet like you live in the moment.
So you you do the thing and then think about it.
Yeah, yeah. What your family say when you
were like undelivered. My mum was like, are you
serious? Like I think I've got our
reaction video actually, it's pretty funny.
If you do, can you send it to us in the world?
Like after the podcast we played in.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So she just, like, worried about
not experience like how you like, kind of actually, you
remember. I think she was like, what?
What? And then my sister is like, she
freaks out some oldest sisters, like the warrior in our family,
right. It literally goes on a scale.
I'm the youngest of five and she's the big warrior.
I just do not give a show. Yeah.
Like.
And then my dad was like, like, just he sits and be quiet.
But it's funny, like, because during the show, my mom didn't
watch it at all. OK, Yeah, she she was like
worried that I'll get rejected when she was right.
Totally fair from your mom. And then my dad was like,
watching every night or reading all the gossip articles that
everything like, it's hilarious. Would they have, like, would
they have seen the show? Like, did they know much about
the show? Yeah, yeah.
They watch it like I watch the show all the time.
All my family watching stuff like.
So when we're on it or I was on, I was like, whoa.
So your mom just doesn't want to see if you get mugged,
basically. So she's pretty, but your dad
only wants to see that He slags me straight on.
That, like ruins me. You're not starting gossiping
forums and that kind of thing. And so right, so after you've
been in London, you get the call 3 weeks later saying like you're
doing it. How long in between that and the
show starting? It was brave.
Well, actually I think it was about a month and a half.
And in that time or, or are you getting are you in regular comp?
This is my perception of how it goes.
They're doing stuff for you like, you know, having a look at
your social media, saying things, you know, already
starting a bit of training and that kind of thing.
Yeah, yeah. Is that happening now?
Yeah, I'd be a lot of. I went on a show like that.
I know I was looking through this word anymore.
I deleted my Twitter, like, yeah, because I'm an Arsenal fan
and I get very passionate about Arsenal.
Like so yeah, I've definitely like a 13 year old me said
something ridiculous like and like I'd be ruined for it.
But yeah, all that stuff there. Then all the the background
stuff and just saw this stuff you expect.
And then so you've got like a month and a half and are you in
in this month or not? Like did you have to like quit a
job for this or did you have to? No, because I'm still working at
I was doing like a full time job and our our it was a contract as
temporary. I was ended and I was quitting
it anyway. And then I was already started
the marketing consultancy company like I think like
January, February. So it was going really well.
I was taking out like nearly full time, right?
So, but I had like a team behind me as well.
So they were working as well. So just delegate the work and
that was it. So what do you in this time?
How do you imagine the process is going to be like doing this
going to be? Are you looking thinking about
going on the show being like there's going to be so much fun
and have a great time or you thinking there's like specific
things you want to get out of it?
Like what's your perception of being on a show?
Like literally just go to have an adventure and see what
happens. Just have the crack because I
think if I think think too far in advance and I'll do all that
stuff. It just it doesn't come
naturally and you just want to like enjoy the experience like
it's all about experiences like see things like when you first.
So here, here's what I I watch shows like this and I always
think about the logistics of like, if I was on that, Yeah.
Or how would I be like in this environment?
Yeah. And you know what?
I think I'd really overthink. You know, when you first, like
walk in and the camera like swoops over to you, people have
to like, say, you know, like you say something as you walk in.
Yeah. You know, I really overthink
that. And I think I'd fumble that or
fuck that or, you know, like it's just so much pressure.
That's how I let Sam go first. Yeah.
Because you're being. I was like, you're never going
to be judged more in your life than when you walk into this
experience. You know, the people are judging
like your look, your body, whatever you're going to say,
all that kind of thing. So like there's so much
pressure. I know funny, you don't feel it
either. I didn't, I think I'd land on
something just like I'd mess it up and then a panic and I'd just
like the camera will pan to me and I'd, I'd be flexing too much
talk and then I'd just say hello, you know, like I mess it
up so bad I've been kicked out just straight away.
I, I don't think on a show like that, I mean, for several
reasons, but on a show like that I can't.
And This is why I think people really like you and that's why I
really like you on the show. When I look at drama and stuff
like that, I can't. Like you stayed away from that,
from what I saw and like, didn't get involved in like arguments
and that kind of thing. But not only not get involved.
I can't like hide my face, honestly.
There's that's what I said in my there's like after some before
the show, they're asking me questions and all.
What would you do in a big argument?
I was like, probably they're laugh in the corner or if it got
aggressive enough, I'd be like trying to split it up.
It was my friends or whatever, like, yeah, because kind of was
the way I went, like with the one with Teddy and Faye,
obviously the famous one. I was actually heating
underneath. Like, I was losing it, like, but
Tyler was right beside me is like, don't say anything, don't
say anything, don't say anything, Right.
But yeah, other ones, it was like, I probably would have
laughed in the corner, like, yeah, that I started stirring
and shit. Like, I think that's my problem.
I just can't, like, can't take it seriously.
Adults argue like that. Yeah.
And either like, not like, say, burst out laughing or like,
exactly what are you doing? Yeah.
I mean, they're like, to be fair, I couldn't do that show as
well because, like, look, I'm a confident guy.
Yeah, but like, you know, everyone on that show is, is
real good looking. Like real good looking.
Thank you, man. To the point where like, I'm
good looking, but from like the brow of the hill, if the sun's
in your eyes, like, like from a distance, you're like, OK.
And then like, I'm not like I'm not not attractive.
But at the same time, when I, if I walk in looking like me and go
hello, like it's going to be like 3-4 days clean up.
No, look, I would clean up, but just like in a literal sense,
because no one would be talking to me.
I'd end up just like, you know, doing chores around the place.
But is it when you watch the show back, did you, was there
loads of moments where you were like, oh, I did this thing and I
can't believe they didn't show it?
Yeah, there's a lot of stuff, a lot of stuff.
But at the end of the day, it's it's I think like 45 minutes.
They have to do have an entire day.
Yeah. And it's all the main
storylines. Like, you know, the the the love
triangle me and Tyler and cars and you know all that stuff
that's more entertaining some people than me just talking
shortly. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, and do
you is there any time? So again, I only have a
perception of doing a show like this.
Is there any times where like you're going to have a
conversation with someone and they almost like make you redo
it or like is it is it that like is it?
Is it ever like pushed on an Ave that much to the point?
No, honestly, a lot of the show is organic, like right, A lot of
it is organic. Obviously there's certain bits
like if you don't say anything and stuff or that you don't say
the right thing or whatever. There might be like maybe you
should you should be doing this, but like no, pretty much I would
say like 95% of the show is organic.
What was one thing that you were like that's definitely going to
be in and then it wasn't? You were very surprised.
That's a good one, actually. I'm not.
I I don't even know the answer that.
Yeah. Do you think that people that
were in there, like would you have got the people you've got
on with? Would you have got on with them
on the outside or was it? Yeah, no, absolutely.
Like like all the boys in there mod crack like or hilarious like
there's just serious antics that go on.
Like, do you think there's people that like really think
about how they're coming across and then adjust their behaviour
accordingly? Did you see that happening a lot
or do you think everyone was like you just sort of going
along with it? Yeah, I suppose like people do
do alter sometimes, but like most of the time everybody's the
same. Like obviously I don't know
because you know, I don't didn't know the people outside the
villa, so I don't really know them when you're being you're
being videoed like 24 hours in there, like there's no stop.
Like so do you get the goal out? Is it Isn't there a day a week?
No used to in previous shows, but because of COVID and we were
locked in like your proper locked in.
Like it's like quarantine. What they like for a day a week.
You just like going on local time.
What you get to go into the local time for like a day a
week. Yeah, they used to go to the
beach and all do all stuff that would have been nice like yeah,
yeah, but no, didn't do any of that with us because of COVID.
Like so you were talking about, but like your mom didn't want to
see you like being rejected and you kind of like you.
I don't think you were rejected because you you kind of like I
still told both of them like legend.
What a guy. That was that was such like a 15
year old conversation that's about my like level like stay,
stay there. That's sorry.
I'm happy. I was like me.
She didn't reject, but it was very much like you like stood up
for yourself. Yeah.
What I kind of like and honestly like that was pretty not
unjustified, but kind of like kind of salvage from you when
you were just like, yeah, we're done.
Yeah, but do you? Is it not so weird having any
kind of romance and then camp cameras being there?
Like, how were you of the cameras?
You're trying to get to know someone like that and there's a
camera, like directly in your face.
Yeah. Suppose you don't really notice
the cameras, though, That's the thing.
Like they're all, there's not guys running about.
No, no. Were they all like in the walls?
No, yeah, pretty much. Like they're just smart.
They're in the O and stuff. That's smart.
Because I would. I honestly thought there would
be like, yeah. Because I think I don't know
what what way they do it, but I think they do that to make it
like a psychological so they you can be as much of yourself as
possible in there. So right.
Yeah, you don't really even notice it.
Obviously. You know, sometimes there's this
is called a video like, you know, obviously recoupling and
things like that there. Yeah, yeah, you're so the first
time you have a kiss, right. Like hopefully I don't miss and
hit her nose or something. Well, exactly that.
My thing is like, that's pressure enough.
Yeah. Never mind the fact that it's
playing to millions of people. Yeah.
So like, there's so much to think about.
Like, at what point do you close your eyes when you go in?
Like, you don't do it too early. You don't do it too late.
I just wanted to face away so that they see the back of my
head or like this angle. So not the left.
Yeah. No, always the left.
It has always the left. Like, you know, they don't show
the right side. I don't know what's up with this
side. Yeah.
Yeah, but like, yeah, I think I'd be, I think I'd start to
analyse like what way do I kiss? You know, I think I'd be worried
about that. But then so like the the so you
get into like not a relationship, but like you get
into like a romance and you're seeing how things go and kind of
thing. Yeah, when, when you realise
like, oh, she's still like, and, and I, I'm not like a, I don't
watch every episode, but my wife does.
And I know, I know a lot of people say that and they say you
do watch it. Yeah, I know what's going on,
you know, because I'm like, I'll do all this stuff, but then I'm
what, you know what I mean? I'm watching it.
But but I am watching it, you know.
I mean, I say I'm not. And I wanted to see because
anytime someone from homes or something, yeah, they're like,
Oh yeah, you know, I'm living down the road.
Like, yeah, yeah, everyone, everyone's like, I've got to
see. Even if like, you know, if
there's someone from like Northern Ireland on deal or no
deal, I'll take a week off work, you know, a week off work and
like, you know, really into it. Or like if someone from
originally from here and it's like, you know, a court case in
a foreign country or whatever you support, you're watching
that every day, you know, really get behind them.
No one you're talking about. And and then when when nicely,
you're not that, then The thing is you want to be like, let's
see how someone from here. Like, I think everyone's kind of
like rooting for you. Yeah.
I want you to come across well. And you do.
So when you get into this romance and then it kind of like
goes the opposite way. Are you getting chats from the
producers on that? No, no, That's entirely the way
you handle. It's entirely all me.
You recall. Yeah.
All me. I was.
When? When Tyler was saved in the, you
know, the vote and sound was dumped and stuff.
I really like Tyler, man, and we're good friends.
But the only reason they keep Tyler in the girls, see the
girls out the vote is because of cars.
And she basically said to me, the doors slightly open from
like, I was like, it's not good enough.
Like really. But yeah, that kind of peed me
off before that. And then that there just where I
was like fuming. I was like, straight this spot
here. So see, when you do and we'll
have that child where you're like, yeah, we're done.
Yeah. Or is stuff like I know you're
saying that happens organically and and I believe that that does
but but is like the set almost like clear for used to have that
chat or they that good with the cameras.
They can make it all look like the big thing.
Yeah. Literally it's all all none of
it's set up at all. Like it's literally all me.
There was just the fire fire pit was open at that time, which
happened to make it a lot more like dramatic.
Dramatic. Yeah, yeah.
But yeah, yeah. I didn't even think.
But honestly, I didn't even think about the cameras.
I was just fuming. Yeah.
And it was literally like there was like, I'd say like 5 minutes
after the recoupling. And are you think when stuff
like that happens, are you thinking about the way that
that's coming across to people after you do it or you sort of
thing? I wonder what the reaction.
Oh, after yeah, Oh yeah, I suppose it after like right.
I just wonder was it even going to be put on TV because I you
don't have a clue in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I suppose is
it was good TV after like, but I I just I think I've my just
having like your love life or whatever shown to like so many,
yeah, so many people. It is like because I'm very
private normally before like, you know, yeah, that's why I
like that's why I think you came across right on the show.
You know what I mean? Yeah, it's just myself like just
like normal guy. And what do you not?
What do you want to get out of the show?
But I suppose like because of the, is the show going to
influence your career, your next steps?
Your yeah, I suppose definitely. I want to, I've got so many
projects and stuff I want to do. I want to do a podcast and like
obviously the so many things like, but it's really if you
start a coffee, if you start a podcast called Coffee with me,
we're going to see, we're 100% going to see this Hollywood in
the background. No, it's basically everything in
my life's called the base around my passions, which is fitness,
well, health in general and travelling, adventuring, like
business, lifestyle and just all that stuff.
So whatever comes from it, it's going to be because of Love
Island, because of our platform it give me, but it's all going
to be very, very positive and I want to help as many people as
possible as well. Like, you know, that's cliche,
like, but I'm like, I'm going to die someday, so I may as well
have a positive impact on a lot of people, as many people as
possible. So yeah, that's my my plans.
But I, I think the good thing about that, it strikes me as you
would want to do that sort of stuff regardless of the show,
whereas a lot of people probably do the show and then whatever
they were doing before, it's like that's thrown away.
Let me just rent this kind of like celebrity thing or this
theme thing maybe. Yeah, I suppose like previous
ones and all. And yeah, you could you could
say that like and that that's just not me.
Like I don't really care that much like about that lifestyle.
Like I don't get me wrong, I love partying, like I love doing
all that stuff. Yeah, whatever.
But you know, I'm not that one. They go into like, you know, be
exclusive away from people think I'm better than people because
it you're an idiot. Let me pretend I'm your agent
right now. I'm going to run certain things
by you should be that right Must you're out of the house and you
tell me if like this would appeal to you If you would do
this. Would you be interested in say
this Stan line had opened a new a new food outlet on board.
You mentioned wrap and roll doing like, sandwiches, wraps,
burritos, you know, Trey Bakes, just a nice cafe.
Yeah. And they go, look, I want you to
go out there. We'll shoot some content, you
know, over to Strand Royals going back.
And would you, would you be interested in doing that?
Absolutely. Where there's food involved,
I'll go. OK.
Anywhere there's food involved, would you be interested?
I'm going to say if they're all food, but just say yes or this
one isn't. But you would have meals
provided. It's you and the actor who plays
Ian Beale. There's meals provided going to
Thailand, all Thailand. What's he called?
Adam Woodyard. I yeah, I'd actually pay for
that, right? You fund that project.
I would watch that. I would really watch that or do
like Muay Thai and all that stuff.
You can be having a scrap. It's just go this is great TV.
Do what I would love though. I would love that.
You're obviously like, you know, you're in the health and fitness
and that kind of thing. Muay Thai.
I would love it if then like that's part of the show, you get
in the ring with the MB and he just like he just completely
connects with the body shell early.
You can't talk for the rest of the show, just get flattened by
nothing left. I would love that.
That would be great. That would be great.
I'm not something that you should get talking to your
people about quick because I think he's going to be out for
it. 100% think he's up for it. I would pay for that.
Would you? Would you endorse your own brand
of jams? Jams.
I don't eat jam. Like, we've talked yourself out
of it here. I think here's the key.
Anything they come to you with, be like I do.
I do that anyway, you know, So, like, don't talk yourself out of
jam beats because the Hartley's crew might be watching.
I actually really love jam. I eat it every day.
That's the odd. I love Jam Hartley's Yeah, I
think that, I mean, you're going to get a lot of like great
offers, but a lot of weird offers to yeah, yeah.
And that's it. Like I I really don't care that
much about money. Like it's more about like what's
going up bring for my message and do all that stuff.
So yeah, I if I get like offers, I have got a weird kind of
offers and you know, the obviously standard like teeth
whitening and shit. Like I don't give a crap by
that. Like so like here, see any that
you're not keen on? That's my way because I can be
passionate about him and I need to get these sorted out.
But but I don't know, I like about you.
You're that laid back. Yeah, that honestly, I think if
I was approaching for something, say it was a business, I go like
you know, I've got £1,000,000 budget.
I think if I said you like, but you know, we could just give you
a tenner and you'd be like, yeah, you're like that.
You're that chilled. You're like, yeah, 10 is fine.
You know, it's like there is a million if you want it, it's
good, Correct. Let me ask you about you said
there's already like stuff coming in, like a course, like
Brown's going to be talking to you, that sort of thing.
Any other like weird ones? Any other like which is like
Buddhist tea or something. I was like a strange 1 coming to
me. Yeah, it's like Buddhist tea.
Buddhist tea. It makes you really chilled.
I was like, if I take that you don't need anything else to make
you more chilled, Actually just be just be in a coma.
Yeah, you can only go coma like you're that chilled.
That's probably not going to work like but what other ones?
And is this is this like are you getting also stuff in your DMS
from the likes of business as being like we should collab?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you got a load.
I've got some cool ones like travel related ones and all that
and whatever. So stand on line, stand on line
to be sick like. But yeah, I I'll have a few.
And is your plan to just take Yeah, take ones you think I
would naturally do that? Yeah, exactly.
The only ones that fit my my like focus fitness travel a lot.
So anything that fits in there and I really appreciate them as
a brand and would actually buy their stuff or would do their
their trips or whatever, then I'll do it like, but yeah, it's
just so don't see the point in the rest of it because money
doesn't really matter to me. Matters to me. 100% would love
to be your agent. Be like, look, my cuts 95%
should be the five and we'll have a great time.
And what do you think it's going to be like going on your first
like night out after all this? So I think yeah, I'm going to
London next week. So my first night I'll be in
London, it'll be a couple of island boys be out there as
well. So I said it'd be pretty wide,
like I don't know. I have been, it's going to be so
long, it's going to be insane. I think the last time I was, I
was in Miami in November, like, oh, I suppose to London, but I
didn't really go out right. But like like Miami in November
is the last time I was like, but it's not like a gradual, it's
not going to be like a gradual bill.
Like, you know, when I first started doing the old video and
one guy in a Tesco was 24, I was like, all right, mate, you know,
it's not. I don't even, I still don't
realise. Like you're, you're telling this
to me. I, I don't really know, Oh,
because I've been in quarantine. I've just been on my phone.
Like literally, I mean the like, obviously because Love Island
reaches such a wide demographic in so many different locations.
Like it's not like if I go on a night out to, I don't know,
Bristol, no one's going to like come up to me at all, you know,
but but obviously if you're like in Belfast and you do stuff like
video and that kind of thing, of course, people everybody knows
Mike McGoldrick. Exactly, exactly.
And Shane thought though I would love it if I would.
I mean, that's the question that I don't know the answer to.
But if you like, yeah, it's weird that, you know, if I'm a
knight in Belfast, 99 out of 100% of people are so sound so
dead on and literally just want to say like hello or obviously
like, yeah, get a phone, there's no problems.
But by the way, if I knew you were going to, if I knew you
before this, I would 100% being like look for any opportunity to
big up my company. Like even if it's not a natural
way to bring it up, someone's like, I've got a tax.
You should definitely watch all this shit.
I don't know what it is, but you should definitely watch it,
check it out. But it's going to, it's going to
be not like just Joe. I think the weirdest thing is
people will expect you to just chat them.
Yeah, I chat to anybody. Yeah.
Honestly, I that's the way I was before.
I chat the like, they'll be pops and paparazzi.
What do you do about that? Don't know.
Don't try to trip me up. Nice guy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just can't imagine, like
especially London, you know, other people from the show, like
that's going. That's going to be wild.
It is. It's going to be pretty crazy
like, because suppose all all those boys and girls and all
have massive reach now, like. Yeah, yeah, I got a good race.
But they like someone on like Teddy and all I think is coming
off of like 700,000 followers or something.
You're like that's a lot of people.
But a lot of those guys I don't know individually, but like
probably would have done stuff before like influencer type
stuff beforehand maybe. Yeah, a lot of the girls did, I
think like cars did and like else I think there is good for
you And but I think Teddy was like a financial advisor or
something like OK, yeah, you have to do you have to you have
to promise me something when like if a brand is like, you
know, I need you to come on and talk about this product.
Yeah, never start it with like, hey guys, just jumping on here.
Don't never jump on. I'll never jump and never jump
on. That's actually really good
advice because I was doing my YouTube videos and I'm like,
you'd think I'd be used to talking to the camera by now,
Like, yeah, but it just feels so weird.
It's like, hey, guys, welcome to my channel.
Yeah, Smash that like buttons, man.
Nah, no. Stuff like smash that like
button. Yeah.
You know, hit that and we have some questions.
Might bring them up. But maybe like, you know, if
there's really like mod ones, then sorry, Tony, you bring them
up. I want to hear these.
Tony is a huge fan of the show, has been for, like many series,
really lovely. Yeah, I feel like that's
sarcasm. No, no, no, no, no, no, no Gen,
you know, 100 percent, 100 percent, 100%.
OK, we got we got some questions here.
People want to real. So do you feel like the way the
show was edited showed the real you?
And were you secretly glad when Brett?
Gave Brett. Gave prayer.
What? The ick?
That's not what I thought you said.
I didn't think you said the ick, I thought you said something
else. I heard that as well.
So if you sacredly jealous of that.
So the first question, no, because I said they've only got
like 45 minutes to fit in and there's like what?
At one point there was like 12 people in the villa like or
more. So you can't get a full sight of
person that time, even though I was in there for a good while.
I was two 2 1/2 weeks, 3 weeks like, but now you can only get a
certain size person like feel like doing this here sort of
shows a lot more my personality. But yeah, I'm very multifaceted.
Yes, so cringe me saying that, but yeah, I am.
And in regards to like the Brett Priya situation, I'm going to
say yes. No, it was no, I like both of
them. Like, but it was just kind of
funny. Like, let's go if you can laugh
something like, yeah, you got to laugh a little bit.
Like, do you know what? I especially over the cheese
thing. Like, do you know what I didn't
laugh at when Faye did stand up? Oh my God.
For one of the tasks. I don't get me wrong, I've had
gigs worse than that. Yeah.
But Even so, I could as like, no, I mean, to just do stand up
out of context like that, that was a tough for me.
That was a tough watch. I was like, but fair play from
the balls to get up and do it. She is balls like, yeah, yeah,
yeah, definitely does like give it to her like.
But yeah, it wasn't a huge fun. Mike, anything else?
Yeah, this one's a bit mean. Is Faye a rude all the time or
did she come across like not to be the editing?
Ah, Northern Ireland, yeah, I guess you see is like, I guess
you see exaggerated versions of everyone.
So some dramatic happens. That's what goes in.
Honestly. She is actually very kind
underneath it all. She does have that fiery side
and she's very honest, like, but I'd be honest back to her.
Like she appreciated that to me. But yeah, she actually did my
eyebrows and all the time I just like chilled or not just did my
eyebrows and I was like the first time I ever got my
eyebrows good. Did a good job with their salt.
I did the Edinburgh Fringe Festival about four years ago
and I was 100% rose in a dry cleaners because you're there
for the month, right? And that's getting a, you're not
going to leave this, but it's got my clothes washed.
And then I was waiting for, I didn't know, like it took like
more than like half an hour for that.
They're like, yeah, it's gonna be like 2 hours in the dry
cleaners. There was just a woman who dead
eyebrows. She had like a bench and like
she would do your eyebrows while you hit this.
Like true. That's actually class.
I like that. So I was like, you know what,
I'm doing the Fringe, you're doing 28 shows in 28 days and
like industry are coming in to see you sometime.
So I was like, maybe I'll just, I've never had my eyebrows to
maybe get them done. And I got them done.
And she was what do you call stringing or something?
Yeah, yeah, like the the wire kind of threading.
That's threading. Yeah.
And she was threading my eyebrows and.
And after I was like, yeah, that looks good.
And I left with Madraglin and a past couple of comedians in on
the way out just on the street. And I was like, alright, that's
how's going and felt like a few like fucking.
I was like, what's up? I didn't realise my food like 2
inches above my eyes had just gone bright red and stayed like
that for the show in this evening.
So people were looking at me being like this guy got his, got
his eyebrows threaded for this show to six people.
You know, it's hilarious what else we got.
Wants to know were there any other girls in the villa that
you were interested in getting to know but didn't because they
were already coupled up? Yeah, I suppose like going in at
the start would have been like those all those connections and
relationships weren't formed that stage.
So it was completely different situation when you're coming in
later and they've all like bonded nearly boyfriend and
girlfriend a lot of the time. But I was, I still would have
went for cars straight away. But I did like Millie and a
couple other ones. Like there was a couple of guys,
but they're all beautiful. Like seeing TV as well doesn't
doesn't do a lot of them justice.
Like you see them in person, they're like, wow, crazy.
So yeah. But yeah, I would have still
went for cars. But yeah, there was a couple
others I would have liked. See your DMS now what's like
the, what's the standard message that you get if you went through
and you're like, oh, there's one that says that like, what's
something you're getting a lot? Marry me.
Right. So straight to the point.
Like, I like it. Yeah.
Crazy. If you were just like, no
worries, you're that laid back. I could see you being like,
yeah, if you want. Who's getting married?
A 64 guy, a little guy from Birmingham.
You're like, we asked, you know? So why would I not just go do
that? Do the first, think about it
later. You're just living in a house in
Birmingham. Just this guy.
Yeah. I mean, it's an adventure at the
end of the day, like, you know. Yeah, what's like, what's a
message you've got where you've gone?
Oh fuck. Like is there anything you're
like? Have you got many pictures?
Message you got? You got many Dicks.
No, actually, I'm honestly right.
You put not a call for it before.
How's it going? Before I was like on Love
Island, I like 1400 followers, whatever.
You always like, put up like photos or whatever and like
looking in good shit and stuff. And you expect like a load of
girls to go, like if you did, but most mostly gay guys.
Yeah, yeah. They're like kind of put it up
for the girls, Right, Right. So.
So you're sort of saying you had that before and now you're
looking those guys back, but they've left.
They're gone. It's like where he's going.
Yeah, No, it's like, it's so weird because normally it was
the before it was like guys, and now it's girls.
Hit me up all the girls. Like, you know what you should
do? You should open your DM's now,
scroll for like a couple of seconds.
Just pick a random one and just read me it.
All right, I'll do. Obviously, if it's really
personal or something, then don't like, let's not be sly.
I have replied to the government.
They get correctly. Yeah, we'll do a reply.
All right? If it's from like a big brand or
whatever, reply with my e-mail address.
All right, How many scrolls are there?
Scroll for, like, I'd say like 4 quite big scrolls.
All right, That's one, Two. OK, so three.
Oh, my God. The anticipation's killing me.
I know it's going to be really terrible.
I know it's going to be born. OK, OK.
Pick one. Hi, Matt.
Come to Finland. We have blueberries.
I didn't disappoint. It didn't disappoint.
What a chat up like that's called.
Right, I'm going to reply. Right.
Reply. So come to where?
Finland. Finland.
We have blueberries. I just want you to reply.
I like blueberries. Can I?
Can I tell you something to reply?
Yeah, just write lol first. Lol.
Full stop. All right.
Can I not say hi? Her name?
No, just lol lol, full stop lol full stop.
New sentence, obviously yeah, but what's the Raspberry
situation? Question mark?
Wait, wait, wait. I'm a slow Tiber.
One more sentence lol Lol again. No, no, no.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK.
And then OK. And then just finish up by
saying this. Need to know ASAP.
All cops. Yeah.
Exclamation mark. Yeah.
And I send it off. That's hilarious.
Man of his word. You've done it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You've done it.
It's done. There we go.
All right. I'm going to Finland.
Yeah. You've just decided on how
you're like, well, gotta go to Finland, get these.
Get these blueberries. That's a good offer.
Finland seems like a nice place to visit.
And I love blueberries. Yeah.
It sounds like breakfast blueberries.
You in different. What you into?
Like your fruit guy. Yeah.
You know, John, I like to get frozen fruit that is actually
very good and cheap. Apparently they freeze it like
it's fresher because they freeze it quick.
Oh, really? Yeah, and cheaper as well.
So you can. Yes.
Cheaper fire load of it in your pocket.
And it means it doesn't go to waste as well.
Yeah. Waste.
Not want. Not exactly.
It's another one of your messages.
Yeah. What a wise guy.
It's always. How did you describe yourself?
Multifaceted. Multifaceted.
I like that a lot.
And what one thing, as a final question, what's one thing that
you like, really want to like go and do your home out of
isolation? Is there like a specific place
like you want to eat out or so here?
Yeah, yeah. Don't know, actually.
That's kind of probably had cathedral recorder or something.
Or. Or go to Railway Street in
Newcastle, show that it's a good spot.
Do you know Stevie? Do you know Stevie owns it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know too. It's good.
Like just to eat coffee. How well would you say you knew
him on a scale of 1 to 10? Probably better than you.
Do you think so? Yeah.
It's weird because he's my cousin.
Oh, fuck. But he would describe me like
feeling like. Yeah, well, you describe me as a
brother, so I'd probably know him. 3 out of 10.
I don't even know. Yeah, sure.
This David, I mean, that's he these.
We're going to invoice him for this.
For this sponsored sponsored podcast.
Yeah, All right. Thanks so much for coming in.
No, thank you for having. I really appreciate it.
You like honestly, I think you didn't let us down when you went
on the show. That's that's nice thing to hear
what you really like, because listen, if it was your average
person from here, myself included, would let people down
so much like during the arguments and stuff fucking fuck
you up and all, but you like stayed calm and collected.
Yeah, that's yeah, I wouldn't. Is there like, is there an age
limit on love end? Think so.
They don't say so anyway. Like I feel like the eases have
went up though this year. Yeah, yeah, yeah, because
previously used to be like 21 year olds and around that age
and most of the people in there like 25.
Think if you have people my age on, it'd be a boring show.
I just see people like want an early night pyjamas, like early
night. Can I put you for a chat?
Nah, I want to get McDonald's. You know, it would be it would
be not as good of a show, but but yeah, no, I appreciate you
coming on getting to know you a bit better.
And look, as you say, you're multi faceted.
Yes, I said positive kind of ruined the closure.
You were doing so well as well. Well, look, I'm multifaceted and
this is the end of the She and Todd podcast.
It's called T with Me podcast. Can you tell people just tell
people you're jumping on to smash that subscribe button into
that camera, jump on, smash the subscribe button.
We're done.
