Save big on prime big deal days 4 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:26,160 October 8th and 9th. Zippers, welcome to this episode 5 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,200 of the Tea With Me podcast. With me, she and Todd, I mean, 6 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,439 we've got a lot to discuss, a lot to go into. 7 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,360 Let's kick it off by talking about the hair situation. 8 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:39,000 Now, I had a bit of a dilemma before I recorded this podcast 9 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:44,360 because I am going for a run after this. 10 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:49,120 So I'm thinking, do I put product in my hair, wash my 11 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:53,960 hair, have it looking like prime for the pod, or do we have 12 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:55,560 enough? Actually, that is a little bit 13 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,600 Hitler. Or do we have enough of a 14 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,280 relationship now where I can kind of go not, you know, 15 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,880 unproducted in the hair? And to be honest, I'm sort of 16 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:11,080 caught between, I'm caught between both and I don't know 17 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,000 what to do through this on this top on the last minute because I 18 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,720 was wearing a sports top. And yeah, I mean, I, I don't 19 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,080 know. I feel like this is very brave 20 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,680 of me, you know, I feel like I should, I should be applauded 21 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:26,200 for, you know, it's brief. It's brief for me to to do this 22 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,640 without, without product in my hair. 23 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,360 Because if I put product in my hair, I'm going to get all 24 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,040 dirty, sweaty when I go running and then I'm going to do my hair 25 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,360 again. And everybody knows as a guy, 26 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,280 you can't do your hair twice in a day, you know, So fuck it, I'm 27 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,720 going without. And I didn't mean to swear that 28 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,440 because some people probably don't like the swearing to go. 29 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,640 You don't need to do that. But I've done it early in the 30 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,360 podcast and for some reason I'm also out of breath because I set 31 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,800 my tea down. But that's the way it is. 32 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,400 It's it's episode. I think it's about episode 32 or 33 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,480 something of the tea with me podcast. 34 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,240 I mean, unbelievable that we haven't taken a break and all 35 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,920 these have, you know, we've done every episode. 36 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,639 And also something that is pretty cool is I got new 37 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,280 trainers. So if you are watching the video 38 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,240 podcast on YouTube, just type into me podcast. 39 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,920 You can see my sweet new trainers that I got for my 40 00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:21,280 birthday and was not allowed to wear until my actual birthday, 41 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,680 even though they arrive four days before my birthday. 42 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:28,160 So that's great that I'm 32. And that's the thing, you know, 43 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,120 they're in the house and I'm one of these guys. 44 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,000 Like even at this age, like if I, if I buy an item of clothing, 45 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,960 I ask the person serving me if I if I can put it on in the shop. 46 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,600 Remember whenever you were taking the buy shoes, you know, 47 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,920 your mom took you to Clark's or wherever to buy shoes and you 48 00:02:48,920 --> 00:02:51,240 always say here, can I can I just wear these now? 49 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,840 And then you had to put your old shoes in a plastic bag. 50 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,600 But once they went in that bag, they never came out again, you 51 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:58,760 know, So it was a wee bit like that. 52 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,920 So they these have been under the stairs for for a couple of 53 00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:04,280 days, but I'm getting to wear the night and I'm going to run 54 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,040 in them. And I think it's going to make 55 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:11,440 me run extremely fast. Like extremely like genuinely, I 56 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,600 think this can add 10 miles an hour under my running speed. 57 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,720 It's mental. I genuinely think that that's 58 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,320 very me. Like honestly, like I would read 59 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,120 something online like on some running thing, like 5 things to 60 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,120 do to make you run faster and in a forum which has just been 61 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,280 written by like some random guy, some guy. 62 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,800 All right, stop eating potatoes and you're running a lot faster. 63 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,520 I will never eat a potato again. I mean, that isn't one of the 64 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,880 things, but, you know, fad things like that I would 65 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,720 definitely fall into before we, we really get stuck into the 66 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,360 pod. Couple of things #1 producer Dan 67 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,600 has changed his Oh my God, he's changed his Twitter bio. 68 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,440 To put me in it. You know, producer Dan, I don't 69 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,400 know if you guys know this, but he produces other podcasts as 70 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:00,400 well. You know what I mean? 71 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,040 Like he likes to keep his he likes to keep his fingers in a 72 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,880 lot of pods. He used to do Russell Brown's 73 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,240 podcast. He now does Sue Perkins from Sue 74 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:10,680 Mel. He does her podcast. 75 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,280 And that makes me extremely jealous. 76 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,120 You know, like about half an hour ago I texted him and said 77 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,440 here, are you free for a call so we can talk about merch? 78 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,280 And he said just about to record Sue Perkins podcast and that 79 00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:25,680 really like, you know, the phrase tree to mean to keep in 80 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,680 Kane. That's the antithesis of that. 81 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:33,480 Like I it really fucking bugs me whenever he does, whenever he 82 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,640 does other podcasts, No, it obviously doesn't. 83 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,080 But in his Twitter bio, he never, he didn't have us any 84 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,120 didn't have the zippers in it. And I checked his Twitter 85 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,760 recently. This Oh my God, I really sound 86 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,400 like a jealous boyfriend. I checked his Twitter recently 87 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,560 and then and we're in the bio. He says producer of the tea with 88 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,800 me podcast. So I feel like this is great 89 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,960 news for the zippers. I feel like this is great news. 90 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,040 I thought that was him texting me there being like I'm free for 91 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:04,080 a call now and I was going to text and say no Carl Sue, but 92 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:09,720 but no, he's he's he's 1000% pride to be producer on the team 93 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,960 with me podcast. So. 94 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,360 I've had I've actually had quite a busy a busy week just. 95 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,880 Doing like a lot of a lot of work things, a lot of writing. 96 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:25,160 Like today I'm going to shoot Keith Cruz video Keith Cruz 97 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,720 summer soccer school. I'm going to do like an odd 98 00:05:28,840 --> 00:05:31,880 video for that. Now, Keith Cruz's summer soccer 99 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,640 school is not a real thing. And what's funny about this is 100 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,400 I'll put the video out and 12 people will DM me going all 101 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,880 right, mate, I'm not going to get the wee man on the the I'm 102 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,240 not going to get the wee man under this summer soccer school. 103 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:45,360 What?

The summer scheme run by a man 107 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,480 who in the video is clearly wearing his wife's eyeliner as a 108 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,640 moustache or mascara. I don't know what it is, but 109 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,800 that is what the moustache is. So I'm going to shoot that. 110 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,280 And the, the worrying thing about going to shoot that is 111 00:06:06,280 --> 00:06:08,640 it's sweet when I have a cameraman with me, but whenever 112 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,600 it's just made a football pitch and a camera, it looks like I'm 113 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:16,040 making my own skills video, which is definitely something I 114 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,600 will also do when I'm down there. 115 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:19,680 You know, people be like, oh, what do you do? 116 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,080 I'll just doing the case cruise that you hear. 117 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:22,680 Oh, you don't have the fake moustache on. 118 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:28,440 Oh, do not know, just me trying to do Maradona Sevens to send to 119 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,880 Italian football clubs.

But then. 182 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,720 But yeah, it was it was my birthday couple of days ago. 183 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,960 That's the big that's a big news in the, in the Super verse. 184 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:43,120 That's not called the Super verse. 185 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,400 That's not going to catch on. But also, by the way, we're 186 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:46,920 going to do TripAdvisor in a second. 187 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,120 And I think I've picked one that's going to be really 188 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,040 enjoyable. But yeah, it was my birthday, 189 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,920 the Big 32. You know, I, we did obviously. 190 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,920 I hope you saw the birthday episode of Tea with Me where 191 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,880 Dave Elliott hosted Dave and producer Dan and we just brought 192 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,040 loads of guests in. That was that was a lot of fun 193 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,800 because I genuinely didn't have a clue about any of the guests. 194 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,840 Even though I had asked him to do a special surprise birthday 195 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,960 episode for me, I still didn't know the guests and it was 196 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,280 enjoyable. And the best surprise because it 197 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,840 didn't happen at the time, was they've got this American 198 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:24,400 comedian called Christa Stefano to do like a bit at the end 199 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,320 where it looked like I just missed him in the Zoom. 200 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,120 Like I left the Zoom too soon. And that, that was really fun 201 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,440 because Christa Stefano does a podcast called History Hyenas 202 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:35,680 and this guy called Giannis Pappas. 203 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,480 So if you, if, if you are looking for other podcast 204 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,440 recommendations, history hanging is, is absolutely brilliant. 205 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,560 So, yeah, they've got, they'd like a zoom with him, which is 206 00:10:45,560 --> 00:10:46,960 great. And I'm going to try and get 207 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,560 Chris De Stefano on on tea with me to do an episode because he's 208 00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:53,640 very, very funny. I think I, when it last time I 209 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,640 was in New York, I asked him to do an episode of I was like, 210 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,280 could I do a podcast using tea with me just started. 211 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,640 And then he's like, yeah, no worries. 212 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,840 And then I just could never get a location for it, you know, 213 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,560 because it was in New York and I didn't know. 214 00:11:08,560 --> 00:11:10,720 I didn't know anybody with an office. 215 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,320 It's not like Northern Ireland, like you can get in anywhere to 216 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,680 do anything. And, and I was like, I don't 217 00:11:15,680 --> 00:11:16,680 know. I don't want to say to him, 218 00:11:16,680 --> 00:11:19,880 like, here made you want to come to my hotel to do it just in 219 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,920 case he thought I was going to murder or, or try and bomb him 220 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,320 or whatever. And that's a phrase that hasn't 221 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:30,080 been said in a while to bomb someone, you know, But it was 222 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,320 definitely used a lot whenever I was in primary school. 223 00:11:32,560 --> 00:11:35,800 Not like I wasn't like saying it as an offer, but it was 224 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,040 definitely always like, you're going to bomb him, you know, 225 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,560 funny. Like definitely funny because 226 00:11:41,560 --> 00:11:43,920 you weren't actually. That makes it sound like there's 227 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,040 two guys. But the but, and I don't know if 228 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,200 that is something that people do, but I don't think it was. 229 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:55,560 People have been I I asked by listeners questions and we'll 230 00:11:55,560 --> 00:11:56,960 get to them mostly at the end of the poll. 231 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,080 But people have been asking me about like Little Britain being 232 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,880 taken off BBC iPlayer and The Inbetweeners might be being 233 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:07,720 taken off 4oD because of, you know, people doing what is 234 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:12,640 referred to as blackface and, and saying like what, what's my 235 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,400 opinion on that? And I know comedians have been 236 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:22,520 chatting about it as well. And the, and in some cases, like 237 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:29,760 the idea of the idea of doing blackface has always been kind 238 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:36,000 of like kind of weird to me because I don't know, I think I 239 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,920 remember like going back, someone getting in trouble for 240 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,520 it. But it always feels like it 241 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:45,520 feels kind of wrong to it feels wrong to just do it for the sake 242 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:49,920 of doing it. Obviously, you know, that kind 243 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,240 of thing. But but then I think in some 244 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:57,280 cases whenever like, you know, white actors play like a black 245 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,920 character or whatever, obviously if you're if you're, if you're 246 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,240 doing it in like an offensive and a stereotypical way, that's 247 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:05,800 not, that shouldn't just be considered wrong. 248 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,840 I like that. That is always wrong. 249 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:14,080 But so like, basically we're going to do an episode, I think 250 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:18,080 next week where we're going to look at this in a bit more 251 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:22,480 detail because I, I'm, I've always subscribed to the opinion 252 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:27,440 that, and it is probably a bad opinion of, oh, in Northern 253 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,720 Ireland, like there's basically no racism at all. 254 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,200 Like, no, you know, I've said to people like I spoke to in 255 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,280 America or, or in other places, like when they ask like what, 256 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:40,080 what's it like over there? And I would, I would say no, no, 257 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,080 God, no, like very, very, very tolerant society. 258 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:47,040 But the, the more you, the more you read it, the minute from 259 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,120 from people here, the more you realise that like, well, of 260 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:56,760 course I would not, I would not be aware as much certainly about 261 00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:01,360 the level of like racism here. So we're going to do an episode 262 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,120 where we sort of look at that a wee bit more. 263 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:07,320 And and I'm going into it like maybe gonna like have 264 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:11,880 conversations where I might say like the wrong thing or, or 265 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,520 whatever. But that's kind of people are so 266 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:20,760 quick to jump on not being, you know, it's kind of hard to 267 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,080 describe. What I'm saying is I want to 268 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,080 like learn more about this. I want to learn like what 269 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,280 actually is the reality of especially here in in Northern 270 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:33,120 Ireland, where I live, where, you know, I'm going to, we're 271 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,520 going to bring a child up and all that kind of thing. 272 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,760 What, what is the extent of, of racism here? 273 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:46,480 What's is there big problems? How can you help in some way 274 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,760 with that? But I think to do that, you need 275 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,800 to have not uncomfortable conversations, but you 276 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,280 definitely need to have conversations where where you're 277 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:55,800 approaching it from. Like, listen, I don't have a 278 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,600 clue here. And I might ask a question that 279 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,720 somebody goes like, I can't believe you asked that or 280 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:05,120 whatever, but you need to have those sort of conversations to 281 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,520 learn, you know, so, so we're going to do an episode like I'm 282 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,760 going to do an episode where where I'm, I'm going to speak to 283 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,680 probably other comedians. I'm going to speak to people 284 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,800 with different like backgrounds that live in Northern or, or 285 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,160 from here or whatever and just try and get a handle on it. 286 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:26,480 And yeah, and it's, I think it'd be cool to do an episode like 287 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:30,240 that thing would be important to do an episode like from a 288 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,840 personal point of view to, to find out more about the 289 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,360 situation. Because sometimes like I have, I 290 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,280 have a quick opinion on things, you know, and then, and then I 291 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,520 just leave it. I don't really look into it like 292 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,200 Jimmy was it Jimmy Fallon, right? 293 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,480 Jimmy Fallon. I'm going to Google Jimmy Fallon 294 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,920 blackface. I think he and he's the late 295 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,720 night talk show host in in America. 296 00:15:54,800 --> 00:16:00,240 And he he did a sketch for Saturday Night Live years ago 297 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,760 where he like painted his face black and did an impression of 298 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,840 Chris Rock. This was in 2000 and they 299 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:13,400 started trained in a hashtag Jimmy Fallon is over party and 300 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,120 and tried to like get him, you know, get him cancelled. 301 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:22,600 And I think loads of people from all backgrounds came out and 302 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,480 busy said like, no, Jimmy Fallon's great. 303 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,320 Like, you know, he's not really he's not done anything wrong 304 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,600 here, but he you know, he did the big apology and I think it 305 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,560 was Jamie Fox wrote on Instagram. 306 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:38,480 He's like, you didn't do anything wrong, you know, so so 307 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:43,280 I would look at that and go, well, he wasn't like he was, he 308 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,880 was just being Chris, Chris Rock. 309 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,680 And obviously he's white, so he's going to have to use makeup 310 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,800 to do that. So in that situation, I'm like, 311 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,240 I don't think you should apologise for that. 312 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,360 But obviously there is times when people like, you know, 313 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:01,720 black up and you go, ah, very bad taste, like extremely bad 314 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,640 taste. So, so this very long when the 315 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,800 way of saying people have been asking me about this and saying 316 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,240 like talk about in the podcast, I will. 317 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,560 But let me get like a bit more background on a first and a bit 318 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,200 more knowledge because, you know, there is some level of 319 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:22,880 ignorance there where I, I, I, I don't understand the problems 320 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,240 people kind of go through with that kind of thing because, you 321 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:30,720 know, absolutely white. So I mean, I, I want to find 322 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,000 out. So we'll, we'll do that. 323 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,160 I've been chatting with some guests and we'll make that 324 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,200 happen. But then I'm going to do 325 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:37,480 TripAdvisor. I'm going to do listeners 326 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,960 questions. I'm just, I just, I just feel 327 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:43,800 good in these shoes, you know what I mean? 328 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,600 Like I just feel like I'm ready to, I'm ready to take to the 329 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:47,800 roads.

And Oh yeah, also that article 334 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,840 brings me onto the article. People say like all The 335 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,680 Inbetweeners is going to get taken off and stuff. 336 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,560 I don't know, I reckon you should again, this is totally 337 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,760 like outside in point of view, but I reckon you should not 338 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,040 remove stuff that has already been on. 339 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,760 But if there is a problem with that stuff or whatever, use it 340 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:24,400 as a way to show people and be like this is this is this way of 341 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,040 doing it. Like is the way it was done and 342 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,440 here's the way it should be done now. 343 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,400 So I don't know. I I don't think you, I don't 344 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:35,560 think it's, unless something is like just out note, like 345 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,480 completely offensive, don't like don't promote it or whatever. 346 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:45,400 But but you probably should keep stuff up like like comedy TV 347 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,800 stuff as a reminder of like we don't do that now. 348 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:50,840 You know, if that's what, if that's what's decided. 349 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,240 I know it's a difficult, it's a difficult argument, but it's one 350 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,640 that's rightfully being talked about a lot at the minute. 351 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:01,320 So, so we'll, we'll, we'll do, we'll do an episode of that 352 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,960 maybe midweek next week and, and look at it a wee bit more. 353 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,680 My TripAdvisor this week is the Giants Causeway, right? 354 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,800 I'm going to look at people that have left reviews of the Giants 355 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,680 Causeway. If you don't, if you're one of 356 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,880 our international zippers and you don't know what the Giants 357 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:21,160 Causeway is, it's an ancient rock formation in the North 358 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,440 Coast of Northern Ireland. And when I say an ancient rock 359 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:28,760 formation, it's like we ovals. It's like ovals. 360 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,160 There's a really bad way to describe it, but like it's we 361 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:38,600 like cylinders of This is why I didn't get the job at the 362 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,200 tourist board. It's like. 363 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,480 We. Rock, Oval cylinders, and 364 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,640 there's loads of them all over the place and you can just stand 365 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,000 on them and like walk around it and yeah, it's basically some 366 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,600 rocks. And there is a legend that there 367 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,320 was a guy called Finn Mccool back in the day. 368 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,840 And I actually don't know a lot about Finn Mccool considering 369 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:00,120 them from here. I mean. 370 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,960 I don't know if I believe the story of Thin Mccool. 371 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,280 You know what I mean? Like I think there is some holes 372 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,760 in the in the story, like Thin Mccool number one was a giant, 373 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:12,640 right? But I guess there are tall 374 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:17,000 people, right? It is a. 375 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,240 It is a. UNESCO World Heritage Site, and 376 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,280 I don't know if that's UNESCO. Or UNESCO. 377 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:31,600 UNESCO World Heritage site so. Yeah, it's basalt rock columns, 378 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,320 essentially, and people go up seeing nuts for it and come from 379 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:38,640 all around the world to see it. So Finn Mccool was a. 380 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,600 Mythical hunter, warrior of Irish mythology. 381 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,720 He was associated, he was associated with the Fenian 382 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:51,240 cycle. No, that I don't know. 383 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,800 I don't know what the Fenian cycle is. 384 00:20:55,800 --> 00:21:01,480 I mean it's. Fenian Cycle, I've said that too 385 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:07,400 many times, is a body of prose centred on the exploit of the 386 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,440 methodic, the mythical hero Fen Mccool. 387 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,200 So you know. You've got you've got the Fenian 388 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,760 cycle on the Hondriathlon. Let's balance it out. 389 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:20,640 I think in general he's not considered to be a giant, but in 390 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,360 the case of the Causeway Legends is almost always made out to be 391 00:21:23,360 --> 00:21:24,880 a giant or of extraordinary height. 392 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,320 I guarantee that's him talking to the people that were writing 393 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,400 this in the stories going here. Fucking had a few feet on there. 394 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,200 Make me sound like a giant, will you? 395 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,360 And they're like, yeah, they're all, but they've mugged them off 396 00:21:35,360 --> 00:21:37,800 because they've written he wasn't really a giant. 397 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,400 Yeah. The Causeway is sometimes told 398 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,280 to be a collection of stepping stones, allowing giants to 399 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,920 travel at will between Northern Ireland, Scotland, without 400 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,920 getting their feet wet. Well, that doesn't make him 401 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,400 sound like a famous warrior. If he's worried about getting 402 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:57,720 his feet wet. I will kill you. 403 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,800 Oh. Oh my God, these are soaking. 404 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,280 A second version of the story claims Finn Mccool was in love 405 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:13,160 with a giant woman, Excuse me, living on Staffa on the Causeway 406 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,320 was built as an attempt to bring her back to Ireland. 407 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,840 The most popular story, however. Revolves around the local 408 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,880 rivalry and an excellent piece of deception, a giant named 409 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,880 Benna Donner. Benna Donner. 410 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,080 Is there a rapper called Benna Donner? 411 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,720 Otherwise known as the Redman shit nickname. 412 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,120 Like one of the shittest nicknames I've ever heard. 413 00:22:32,120 --> 00:22:36,120 The Redman. Also Redman. 414 00:22:36,120 --> 00:22:39,160 That Redman actually is a rapper is a rapper called. 415 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,080 Belladonna and also a rapper called Redman. 416 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:47,080 Is Redman in a Wu Tang clan? So Benedonner essentially was a 417 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,480 giant over in Scotland, Finn Mccullen, the Redman did not see 418 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,720 eye to eye and Finn challenged the Scottish nemesis to a fight 419 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,080 where they all where they shouted and threatened each 420 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,520 other from across the water. Oh, use your heart handbags like 421 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:03,600 they're giants and they're shouting, oy, stop that. 422 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:10,000 Don't be at it. You you eat deck build on the 423 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,000 Causeway so he could reach his biggest enemy. 424 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:16,880 Finn move rocks from Antrim into the sea and completes his his 425 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,760 new pathway only to find that Bennett Donner is his biggest 426 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,320 enemy in more way than one. Bennett Donner was in fact much 427 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,160 larger than him. Now Finn Makura has absolutely 428 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,240 mugged himself off there and he deserves everything he gets. 429 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,480 What he's done is picked a fight with a fella, you know, I mean 430 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,880 like in a bar, he's like see you outside decade and all, and he's 431 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,320 pushed part, he's built the pathways, pushed past everyone 432 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,480 on the bar to get there. And then he's realised the guy 433 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,720 does martial arts, you know. I mean like the guy stood up and 434 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,520 he's way taller and this is happened to all of us than he 435 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,200 thought he was going to be. And he's like, do you know what 436 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:50,680 I mean? I apologise. 437 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,160 Ben O'Donnell was much larger than him. 438 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:55,880 Instantly regretting his trash talk. 439 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,880 Fanmaker ran back to Ireland and. 440 00:23:59,360 --> 00:24:02,680 When they go unnoticed by the Scottish giant, Bitch move. 100% 441 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,160 of bitch move when you're a giant and you run back to 442 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,520 Ireland. Unfortunately for Finn Mccool, 443 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,480 it isn't long before he spotted and Bennett Donner gives chase 444 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,880 to the Irish heroes home in County Calder. 445 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,800 As Finn Mccool runs fast as he can back to his homeland, he 446 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,960 loses a boot and unfortunately there's no Cinderella story in 447 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,160 this case as the boot was to remain exactly where it is where 448 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,800 it was and is still visible of the Causeway today. 449 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,360 I mean there isn't. Just like a giant Doc Martin 450 00:24:30,360 --> 00:24:34,000 sitting in the Causeway with the Scottish giant approaching, his 451 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,680 stature is even more amplified as Finn can feel him approaching 452 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,880 the house from as far away as Kilcock. 453 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,160 Funny, funny that Kilcock is definitely funny. 454 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:49,400 Hard place to grow up in and was forced to put Moss in his ears 455 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,040 to definitely the signs of the giant approaching footsteps as 456 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:56,880 he got closer. Put more awesome or. 457 00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:00,560 Finn, the girl's a bitch. Hey, Finn the girl, you're a 458 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,360 bitch. Have him find himself in a 459 00:25:03,360 --> 00:25:05,400 tussle he wasn't sure if he could get out of. 460 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:10,560 Finn turned to his wife. Una, I mean, and fucking sort me 461 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:11,720 out here. I've made a real deck out of 462 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,160 myself. Who thankfully swoops in the sea 463 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,000 of the day. Una's like I'll sort this. 464 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,080 Wrapping her husband in a sheet and telling him to settle 465 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:23,400 himself into the bathtub. He's supposed to be a mystical 466 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,680 warrior. He's supposed to be a legend and 467 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,440 he's been settled into a bathtub by his wife. 468 00:25:29,360 --> 00:25:32,360 She welcomes Benadonner to her door, apologising. 469 00:25:32,360 --> 00:25:34,920 The Finn is currently hunting deer in County Kerry. 470 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,560 Taking the giant round her home, she points out various pieces of 471 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,520 fighting paraphernalia that she claims are Finns but in reality 472 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,080 would be too large and heavy for a smaller giant to carry. 473 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,680 Telling Benadonner she will make him Finn's favourite meal while 474 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:53,360 he waits, Una instead cooks a cake of griddle baked bread with 475 00:25:53,360 --> 00:25:56,520 the iron griddle pressed on the inside of it, on which the red 476 00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,680 man breaks 3 front teeth and follows it with a strip of hard 477 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,960 nailed. A strip of hard nailed. 478 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,560 Fat to a block of red timber on which the giant loses 2 more 479 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,000 teeth. I mean, not an ideal meal, you 480 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,240 know what I mean? Like bad TripAdvisor review 481 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,040 would be dealt out here, with Bennett Donner beginning to feel 482 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:14,360 he's bitten off more than he can chew. 483 00:26:14,360 --> 00:26:16,520 Good pun. Una then asks if he would like 484 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,440 to meet the baby and the Scott is astounded and terrified when 485 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,720 he meets their son, who is in fact just Finn Mccool wrapped up 486 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:24,520 in a sheet. I mean, that is a great move 487 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,680 from Una. That's essentially your mind 488 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,680 just sorting it all out, assuming Finn is enormous. 489 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,120 If this is just his child. The Red man makes excuses to Una 490 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,440 and flees back across the Causeway, destroying it in his 491 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,600 wake. As the Red man left, Finn Mccool 492 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,120 is believed to have plucked a chunk of earth from Antrim and 493 00:26:43,120 --> 00:26:45,640 flung it after him to completely scare him off from venturing 494 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:49,200 back to Ireland again. See, Finn Mccool 100% like can 495 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,280 play pussy like waits until the Redman's running away and then 496 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,720 he throws something like get out of here and all you know, like 497 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,280 the Redman should have gone back and absolutely crushed him. 498 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,360 The chunk of earth missed but still remains in between the two 499 00:27:01,360 --> 00:27:04,440 countries of the Isle of Man, the area where Finn had taken 500 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,560 from the earth had taken the earth and filled with water and 501 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:08,840 they said they'd become locked there. 502 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,760 The largest lake in Ireland. Ah, here we go. 503 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,080 As with much folklore, this version of events is not always 504 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,800 told the same way, with some storytellers saying that Finn 505 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,720 was asleep in bed wanting heard this, heard the Scottish giant 506 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,520 coming and took it upon herself to hide him. 507 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:27,480 I mean, it also didn't happen, so I don't know why they're 508 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,600 saying like, no, this story, I mean, let's be honest here. 509 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,520 He might have been in the bed or he might not zippers. 510 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,360 Something happened with my camera there. 511 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,760 I had to rerecord. I had to sort the audio out on 512 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,040 the laptop. And to cut a Long story short, 513 00:27:41,360 --> 00:27:44,000 whenever I checked the memory card, I looked back and I saw my 514 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,720 own hair on my laptop whenever I opened up what had filmed so 515 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,760 far. And it was a terrible decision 516 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,200 not to put product in it. And that's the main takeaway 517 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:53,880 here. I always need to wear a product 518 00:27:53,880 --> 00:28:01,240 or a hat because I look, I look like a very cute Tommy Hilfiger 519 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,240 model that's been taken hostage and hasn't had access to 520 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,960 amenities for 14 days. That's 100% what I look like. 521 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,600 Still, still cute, still shiny boy cute, cute. 522 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:15,040 But at the same time, you know, absolutely I need product in my 523 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,360 hair. I mean, that is kind of like 524 00:28:17,360 --> 00:28:19,480 that's my thing, you know, I mean like having like sweet 525 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,640 hair, having nice hair, nice colour, like very healthy volume 526 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,200 to it. Like that's the number one thing 527 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,000 I have going for me and I've taken it away from myself there. 528 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,240 So yeah, I mean, in summary, I think the whole story of Finn 529 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,760 Mccool is complete BS. I think it didn't happen. 530 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:39,960 And I I apologise that I laughed at the the place named had cock 531 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,320 in it. I thought Finian cycle is is 532 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:47,040 funny. I said home triathlon a lot to 533 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,720 apologise for here. But then, but what we're going 534 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,520 to do is we're going to do listeners questions and 535 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,880 TripAdvisor. But first of all, I want to plug 536 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:58,440 the Patreon, which is patreon.com/tea With Me podcast. 537 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:03,000 Patreon is somewhere we can get access to extra bonus sexy 538 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,720 things. For example, this Saturday I'm 539 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,760 putting my whole waterfront show from last year up in the 540 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,560 Patreon, My Todd Father show in full. 541 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,400 It will be on YouTube at some point, but it'll be like after 542 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,840 the summer. We're talking months and months 543 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:21,160 of just Patreon eyes only. So that'll go up there. 544 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,480 Also this Sunday, this really important we're doing. 545 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,520 I mean, it's not important in the grand scheme of things at 546 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,680 all. I mean, it's some people might 547 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,840 describe it as irrelevant, but it's important to the zippers 548 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,480 universe. We're doing a live tea with me 549 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:40,480 this Sunday over Zoom. It's for Patreons only. 550 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:44,400 So if you're a Patreon, you'll get a code and you can join the 551 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,200 Zoom. So where we've got Mickey 552 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:51,840 Bartlett's coming on Ryan McMullen, who is absolutely for, 553 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,040 not like everybody knows Mickey. You know what I mean? 554 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:58,440 Your Uncle Mick is coming on. Mickey is possibly the funniest 555 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,160 guy in Ireland stand up wise. He's coming on. 556 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,560 Ryan McMullen is coming on and he's going to play a tune for 557 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,360 us, which is the greatest thing. Because I was like, should I ask 558 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:07,440 him to play a tune? I don't know. 559 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:08,480 I'd really like him to play a tune. 560 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,400 But then again, I don't want to like, I don't want to say. 561 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,240 And then we're chatting about it and he's like, yeah, I can do 562 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:13,480 that. I've got a set up sorted for 563 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:14,880 that. And I was like, that's unreal 564 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,760 because I like a lot of his songs and he's a great guy. 565 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,640 And me and Ryan, once I've been chatting on Twitter and I saw 566 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,000 him in Nandos and I was like, that makes me like me more. 567 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,720 Because we both like Nandos and. Sometimes we talk and the main 568 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:31,280 thing we talk about is Nandos and I've got Jimmy Lee O'Donnell 569 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,320 on as well. Jimmy Lee did an episode of this 570 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,880 like a month ago or maybe just over a month ago and it was 571 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,400 absolutely great. You know, Jimmy Lee from Derry 572 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:44,920 girls from loads of different stuff and, and that's class. 573 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:48,120 She agreed to come on this. So it's going to be like we like 574 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:49,800 a wee tea party. We're going to have guests 575 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,040 coming in and out about a chat in between. 576 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,560 I might throw it open for the zippers to ask questions. 577 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,280 But you know, I don't know how good an idea that will be 578 00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:01,600 because you guys will be saying like in in podcast chat, you 579 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:05,360 know, you'll be saying like rabbit, like asking me about the 580 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,440 money toads tongue, you know, things like that. 581 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,120 And they don't know about that. So I don't know what's going to 582 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:11,080 happen, but it's going to be fun. 583 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,800 This Sunday, 8:00 PM is when we're going to do that. 584 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:19,320 So let's without further ado. I don't know whether it's a do 585 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,880 or a do, you know, but let's do the TripAdvisor. 586 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,000 And why would we not do TripAdvisor of the Giants 587 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,800 Causeway? It's the TripAdvisor Giants 588 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,080 Causeway special. I've been to the Giants Causeway 589 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:36,520 about three times and every time I go, I always go. 590 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,760 Why am I here? Because the Giants Causeway is 591 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:44,160 just rock formations and the only rock I'm interested in is 592 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:45,680 the guy that does the People's Elbow. 593 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:50,400 So I don't know why people travel for so far to come to the 594 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,040 Giants Causeway. And it's pretty cool that they 595 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:55,240 do. But at the same time it is just 596 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,440 different. Like Google and a picture of it 597 00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,160 gives you as much as like going the whole way up there. 598 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,560 It's always windy. And then you just go, Oh yeah, 599 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,640 that's class. Like, Oh yeah, cool. 600 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,080 And then you get back on the bus. 601 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:10,960 So I don't know why people would review it as a thing. 602 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,760 I mean, it feels like why it does not, it's not a business, 603 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,080 you know? I mean, it doesn't have a chance 604 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:18,680 to defend itself. Just slagging rock formation 605 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,360 seems like a weird way to go. But let's look at the worst 606 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,920 TripAdvisor reviews for the Giants Causeway. 607 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:31,840 Here we go, Tommy Boy from Grantham writes one star. 608 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,400 His heading is access to Giants Causeway. 609 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,320 Denied because I refuse to pay. I mean, if it's somewhere that 610 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:41,760 you need to pay into and you're refusing to pay, then by default 611 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:45,680 you probably won't get into it. I travelled from Belfast to 612 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,840 visit the Giants Causeway with my two brothers. 613 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:50,600 I don't know. I don't know why I find that 614 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,880 funny. Just just a three Bros on the 615 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:57,680 way to the Giants Causeway. I like to think they were 616 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,520 wearing matching outfits too, like weed dungarees and stuff. 617 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:01,720 I like to think that they're four. 618 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,840 I don't know what age they are. On arrival of the site, we were 619 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,040 greeted by a rude park attendant. 620 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,920 Hello, I'm the rude. I'm the rude park attendant. 621 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,400 Yes, we're advertising here for a rude park attendant. 622 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:22,320 Fuck off, you've got the job. I informed him that the site was 623 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:26,280 free for local people. No, to be fair, you've just said 624 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,800 that you came from Belfast to get there, so you're not a local 625 00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:30,480 person? He asked me. 626 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,720 For my post code which I gave him and he replied that it was a 627 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,720 Belfast code and we were not classed as local and would have 628 00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:41,720 to pay and would not budget. Yeah, the thing about that is if 629 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:43,160 this. Is in Coleraine and you're from 630 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,280 Belfast. Then you're not local. 631 00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:49,560 Yeah. Let me just stick this into my 632 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:51,600 calculator. Oh, yeah, You're not from that 633 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,160 place. If you're from a different 634 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:57,920 place. He doesn't understand. 635 00:33:57,960 --> 00:33:59,400 He doesn't understand what local is. 636 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,600 We left feeling depressed and disgusted. 637 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:08,480 The three, the three brothers just having the worst time. 638 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,320 They were so excited for this trip, you could tell. 639 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,719 And then they left depressed and disgusted. 640 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,080 I mean, one is bad enough, but both? 641 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,360 We were disgusted with the way the National Trust misled and 642 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,280 lied just to get money. I find out later after 643 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,360 complaining to the Irish Tourist office that the Giant's Causeway 644 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:31,120 is free, so please not. You do have to pay. 645 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,239 You hear that? Those those words should 646 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,679 resonate with everyone, so please not. 647 00:34:36,679 --> 00:34:39,320 You do not have to pay. Well said. 648 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:43,400 I would hope that the National Trust is kick off the site. 649 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,199 Me too. I also hope the National Trust 650 00:34:47,199 --> 00:34:51,760 is kick off the site. He is not happy. 651 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:57,040 Patricia C is also not happy. Once the review absolute RIP off 652 00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,240 we went as a family we realised we didn't have enough time to 653 00:35:00,240 --> 00:35:03,080 walk the Causeway so we decided to grab a coffee and use the 654 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:06,440 toilet but couldn't do that without paying 12.50 per adult 655 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,680 and 8.50 a child. There were two kids and seven 656 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:12,280 adults in our party. Like the title says, absolute 657 00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:16,680 RIP off money grabbers. I mean to be fair, if you just 658 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,800 want to use the toilet and you weren't even going to walk, £12 659 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:23,520 an adult, 850 a child, two kids, seven adults, that's going to 660 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:27,280 cost about a grand for a piss. So yeah, that actually is a RIP 661 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,000 off. Like that's not worth it at all. 662 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:33,920 However, if you walk around the hotel you can walk down to the 663 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:39,160 Causeway for free. Oh life hack, life hack. 664 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,960 The world's biggest RIP off for the world's most expensive car 665 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:45,280 park. Actually, both. 666 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,160 You're right on. Entrance to the Giant's Causeway 667 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,560 is free. That is not in question. 668 00:35:50,720 --> 00:35:53,360 However, the entire site is set up to mislead and push you 669 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,360 through the visitor centre where they charge 12.50 an adult to 670 00:35:56,360 --> 00:36:01,280 enter a free attraction. If you just walk or want to walk 671 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,040 the park, you're not allowed. You have to pay the entrance 672 00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,640 fee. National Trust equals national 673 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:11,040 disgrace. That's a national 12 points 50. 674 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:19,800 That is a national disgrace. Well T rights don't bother. 675 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,240 There is so much else to see in Northern Ireland. 676 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,920 I mean is there? Is there? 677 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:32,200 He's given examples, Rathlin Island, Belfast, Titanic museum, 678 00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:35,080 the murals, the peace walls, Stormont. 679 00:36:35,240 --> 00:36:36,720 I really wouldn't bother with this. 680 00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,200 It's been ruined by the National Trust plant that a massive 681 00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:42,440 visitor centre there and running buses from the centre to the 682 00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:44,480 stones. I mean what is this convenience 683 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:45,640 all about? What are they trying to be 684 00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:51,080 helpful? Crawling with traffic wardens? 685 00:36:56,040 --> 00:37:00,200 OK, here we go. Razvan from Bangor isn't going 686 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,400 to overreact here. This is a nature monument. 687 00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,960 This was created by nature, not by the National Trust. 688 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,240 National Trust or worse than Nazis? 689 00:37:11,720 --> 00:37:19,080 No, If we were to compare side by side, and I don't know if 690 00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,240 it's been done before, I'm sure it has plenty of times. 691 00:37:21,240 --> 00:37:26,920 But if we were to look at the National Trust and the Nazis, I 692 00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:32,320 would say in my own opinion, and I am not a historian, I would 693 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:36,360 say that the National Trust charging people 12:50 to get in 694 00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:41,840 the Giant's Causeway is not as bad. 695 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:46,400 And I'm sure some people would also agree with me as the Nazis 696 00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,040 killing literally millions and millions of people. 697 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:53,320 But according to Razvan, the National Trust 12:50 I mean, 698 00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:56,160 he's probably thinking £12 wouldn't be as bad, but 1250? 699 00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:04,680 No. He also said worst, you know the 700 00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:06,760 National Trust are worst than the Nazis. 701 00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,200 These things should be free and maybe, perhaps only the boss 702 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,160 should be something people would throw a coin for. 703 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,040 Hey Raza, why are you from Victorian times? 704 00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:20,840 Throw a coin for? Hey, that boss is really worth 705 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,840 throwing a coin for. I wouldn't go out there. 706 00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:28,120 I wouldn't throw a coin for it. The National Trust are worse 707 00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:33,120 than the Nazis. You know, also they're not, you 708 00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,120 know, they're definitely, definitely not. 709 00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,160 They're making it more inconvenient for people to get 710 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:42,320 to see rocks. The Nazis taking a dislike to an 711 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:51,280 entire entire religion. Richard M awful ruined by mass 712 00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:52,880 tourism. They need to fence off the 713 00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:54,280 Causeway and create a viewing area. 714 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,160 Just warm the tourists all intent and getting that selfie. 715 00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,600 Go with the crack of dawn or avoid a real let down. 716 00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:02,880 Yeah, it's weird people would want to take pictures of it, 717 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:07,960 isn't it? I love the way there's so many 718 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:12,920 people are are basically saying like, you know, you can go this 719 00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:18,000 way and you don't have. To pay, Yeah, people hit the 720 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:22,640 visitor centre. I mean it is funny because 721 00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:25,760 visitor centre sounds like such a welcome and cool thing. 722 00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:31,000 No Ernst has the right idea here. 723 00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,560 Giant tourist trap, just use Google Earth instead. 724 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,560 Giant tourist trap. Just use Google Earth instead. 725 00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,360 Odd rocks. Unless you're a geologist, this 726 00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:46,080 is nothing but a big hype. Well, joke's a new dickhead 727 00:39:46,240 --> 00:39:50,880 because I am a geologist. Really nothing but a pile of odd 728 00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:52,920 rocks. Lots of commercial bullshit in 729 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,480 the visitor centre. I'm just going to get, I'm just 730 00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:57,840 going to get some commercial bullshit here for our Jonathan 731 00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:59,520 He loveth Kenmore. You rock. 732 00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:02,640 Of course pubs and restaurants in the area after mediocre food 733 00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:06,000 offer mediocre food. Huge waste of money. 734 00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:12,600 People like you don't have to pay to see the stones. 735 00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:15,280 People are just so into these stones. 736 00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:21,680 I'll find one more to finish. I mean, I feel like we're not 737 00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:23,880 really going to top Razvan saying that the National Trust 738 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,480 are worse than the Nazis. Here we go. 739 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:33,360 Maybe one last one here. One or two, Yeah, Here we go. 740 00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:38,840 This comes from Quiet Man 2010, the most unwelcoming place in 741 00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,200 Ireland. OK, so we were. 742 00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:44,360 Visiting at the height of the season on a good dry day in the 743 00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:47,280 afternoon now, it sounds good. So far, I'm liking this. 744 00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,560 I can feel, I can feel the sun on my back. 745 00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:51,080 It sounds like it's going to be a good time. 746 00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:53,560 But the experience has put me right off. 747 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,920 Firstly, there's limited parking at the site itself. 748 00:40:57,240 --> 00:41:00,520 I mean that's funny that he just wants unlimited parking. 749 00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,120 Like why is there not a space for every car that exists in the 750 00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,760 world? So we tried the parking ride 751 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:11,320 which was signposted as free. It turns out it's £25. 752 00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:14,320 I mean that is that is a mug off like to be like here it's free 753 00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,160 and then go. Also, I know I just said that 754 00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:20,640 but at the same time it is £25. You can't take the bus unless 755 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,160 you're going to pay into the visitor centre. 756 00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:23,760 But that wasn't even the worst part. 757 00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:26,720 Fuck. Having driven across most of the 758 00:41:26,720 --> 00:41:29,880 province we were familiar with and used to, the loyalist flags 759 00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:31,400 about the place really let me down. 760 00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:34,440 But the end of the park and ride for one of the world's most 761 00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:36,520 famous heritage sites, attracting visitors from across 762 00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,640 the globe and to be greeted by two Confederate flags was 763 00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,520 nauseating. Whatever about the UVF and UFF 764 00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:46,600 flags, their local and hopeful and hopefully historical issue, 765 00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,440 but the Confederate flag is a global symbol of racism and 766 00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,000 white supremacism. What I enjoy about that is he's 767 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,320 like no, absolutely no to the Confederate flag, UVF and UFF 768 00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,360 flag. Good to see, you know, he's 769 00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:58,960 like, he's like, that's what I expect. 770 00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:00,720 You know what I mean? He's like, it's your thing, it's 771 00:42:00,720 --> 00:42:03,120 your local thing. More of that place, but the 772 00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:06,480 confederate flag get out of town because I promote it, unlike 773 00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:13,400 paramilitaries, which promote inclusiveness and and fun 774 00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:18,080 essentially is what he's saying. I appreciate it was a private 775 00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,320 residence overlooking the car park, but on top of everything 776 00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:24,240 else it's it made the most under unwelcoming atmosphere. 777 00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,960 Yeah, I mean. It's also weird that there would 778 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:33,520 be like, you know, the Giants Causeway division of certain 779 00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:37,960 loyalist paramilitaries, you know, as if like the IRA are 780 00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:39,720 coming to try and steal some of the rocks. 781 00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:42,200 I don't know. I don't know if that's the 782 00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:46,200 thing. Only got a one book. 783 00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:48,840 Oh shit, someone's like only got a one star because it because 784 00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:52,640 you don't do a zero. Everyone should send it to RIP 785 00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:53,880 off, but I want something really. 786 00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:58,880 OK OK, genuinely just by the head now this I know we need to 787 00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:04,040 read it. This is from PvP QV X in 788 00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,360 Belfast. Who says please read? 789 00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:09,320 You need to know this Now I don't know what it is but 790 00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:12,840 obviously I need to hear this. When I was a kid we parked at 791 00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:15,320 the side of the road and walked to the fields of the Causeway. 792 00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:19,320 How things have changed. It's gone corporate in the same 793 00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:21,120 ghastly way as the rope bridge at Caraca. 794 00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:23,080 Read. Unless you read the following 795 00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,400 carefully, you risk being seriously ripped off. 796 00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:27,280 Nowadays, we want to do anything. 797 00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,840 We look for a website first. Don't do this. 798 00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:34,080 The reason that doing this, the reason is doing this will suck 799 00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:37,120 you in, will suck you smoothly in the a well oiled money 800 00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:40,800 extraction machine, Right. The problem I have with this is 801 00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:45,640 that such a sexy sentence will suck you smoothly in the a well 802 00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:48,440 oiled money extraction machine. That just sounds like 803 00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:49,640 something's going to wank you off. 804 00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:55,280 There were four of us on a car. Charges for this were given a 46 805 00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,280 points. But we had, if we were clever 806 00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:58,800 guys, we could save a whole 6 points. 807 00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,960 But booking online, I think he's been sarcastic there. 808 00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:05,440 Access to the Causeway is free, you do not have to pay, he says. 809 00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,680 Do you want me to repeat that? Access to the Causeway is free. 810 00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:14,720 You do not have to pay if you walk a few feet to the rocks, 811 00:44:14,720 --> 00:44:17,240 Jobsworths and high vez vest start blowing ridiculous 812 00:44:17,240 --> 00:44:19,280 whistles at you and furiously waving. 813 00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:20,920 It would seem that they want you to. 814 00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:23,920 All they want you to do is pay £40, another few pounds for the 815 00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,600 bus, then stand admiring the Causeway from a distance. 816 00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,600 Better still, why not just stay in the marvellous visitor centre 817 00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:33,480 and watch one of the big TV's? Even better, don't go at all. 818 00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:37,720 Yeah, that sounds like people are really pissed off with that. 819 00:44:37,720 --> 00:44:41,000 But what I'm wondering is because the TV With Me podcast 820 00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:45,680 is probably the number one podcast that deals with tea in 821 00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:48,720 in Northern Ireland, I wonder could we get some sort of like 822 00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:50,680 zippers discount? You know what I mean? 823 00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:53,680 Like, would the zippers be able to take the flasks and go for 824 00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:58,280 free to the Giants Causeway? It's what we it's what we all 825 00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:01,000 want to know. But yeah, I mean, I like that. 826 00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,400 I like that. I like it from all sides. 827 00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:07,000 I like the giants cause where like here it's free in and then 828 00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:10,200 they stop you at the last minute and go OJ give me £46. 829 00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:13,720 I enjoy that and I also enjoy the people who are like here, 830 00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:16,200 follow. Me and then they take. 831 00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:20,480 You to like a different path and at the end of the day, the 832 00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:26,160 National Trust hurt one of my friends because big Papa bear 833 00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:30,040 himself Dave Elliott, my boy town podcast Co host, started 834 00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:32,760 calling himself the National Trust ambassador just for a joke 835 00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:35,160 because every Sunday he was like going out for a walk in a 836 00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:38,280 National Trust property and he's a member and he said that he's 837 00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:41,240 their ambassador and he tagged him in an Instagram post and he 838 00:45:41,240 --> 00:45:44,400 was an ambassador and the National Trust DM David on 839 00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:47,880 Instagram and went here. Don't be saying that, you know, 840 00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:49,880 so fuck no, I was going to say fucking that. 841 00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,760 Don't fuck the National Trust because I could be cutting 842 00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:57,240 myself off for some some future corporate work down the line. 843 00:45:57,480 --> 00:45:59,840 And that is also the bad thing about TripAdvisor doing this. 844 00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:03,440 You know anyone we do here, I won't get booked to potentially 845 00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:07,640 play their Christmas parties, which is bad news for me because 846 00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:12,920 you know there is there is no money anymore and would do any 847 00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:15,160 gig. Anywhere after all this is over. 848 00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:16,920 So, you know, I'm Jennifer the zippers. 849 00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:19,480 Just know that Speaking of the zippers, we've got a lot of 850 00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:21,560 questions here. We've got a lot of questions 851 00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:24,960 here, that is. Not quite. 852 00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:29,160 That's maybe a bit of work. That's good because I have been 853 00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:33,040 eating cardboard instead of food for the last couple of weeks. 854 00:46:33,240 --> 00:46:37,200 So we got questions. Absolutely, we got questions, 855 00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:38,920 Connor says. Do you play golf? 856 00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:42,560 I mean, phenomenal question. The answer to that is yes, but 857 00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:49,000 very badly, Very badly. Did I say in the podcast about 858 00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:52,800 about playing Donald Trump's course? 859 00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:55,760 In in Miami. A load of years ago. 860 00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:58,880 If I didn't and I'll go back and check, I'll tell that next week 861 00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:00,160 because there's a pretty funny story. 862 00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:03,400 Behind that and I, I really mugged myself off and, and we'll 863 00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:07,320 maybe do that. Oh, I got really flustered there 864 00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:10,680 for absolutely no reason. Belfast guy in China. 865 00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:14,120 Big friend of the pod big Zipper says for a new character would 866 00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:16,080 you rather be an unemployed 40 year old goth? 867 00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:18,680 The gangs around City Hall of the 18 year olds, a small town 868 00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:20,320 called Chief Field pop star who now basically. 869 00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:24,080 Begs for any celebrity style work like opening a deli counter 870 00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:27,120 or a car with four decks. In all seriousness, I think you, 871 00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:28,520 Colin Geddis and others should start. 872 00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:31,120 Any other 10 cat style show would be class. 873 00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:34,760 Yes. Out of all that, I think I would 874 00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:37,560 like to be the the car with four decks. 875 00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:38,880 I think that would just be enjoyable. 876 00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:41,400 And I'd find the guy from the rap battle a couple of weeks ago 877 00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:43,760 and I'd go here. What do you think of that? 878 00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:53,680 But yeah, you know, it's a shame that there isn't a thing that we 879 00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:56,880 we can all do. The sort of people that you 880 00:47:56,880 --> 00:48:02,200 like, They're like me. Colin and and everyone else, I 881 00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:06,600 think. If, if this was 10-15 years ago, 882 00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:11,800 I think it would have been easier to have something like a 883 00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:15,120 panel show or, or something like that on TV. 884 00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:21,200 It's I think it's harder now because there's less local stuff 885 00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:27,760 on TV and and comedy isn't as big on TV as it was. 886 00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:32,720 In saying that, I'm in the middle now of making a comedy TV 887 00:48:32,720 --> 00:48:38,840 series for BBC of the previously show, which is tricky in 888 00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:41,640 lockdown to try and do an entire series of a show. 889 00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:44,680 But we're figuring it out. And it's going to be fun. 890 00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:47,160 And I think you will enjoy it when it's on, even though it's 891 00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:49,640 going to be so much different to the pilot because we can't have 892 00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:52,000 a crowd. But we're we're making it work. 893 00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:56,560 But then I would love to do something with Colin and Mickey 894 00:48:56,560 --> 00:49:00,000 and Dave and everybody else, all those guys. 895 00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:05,280 It is tough though to know what that thing would be and what 896 00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:08,400 sort of format it is and, and that kind of thing. 897 00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:12,280 But look, yeah, we we could be making more stuff collectively. 898 00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:16,160 But I think you also, you get into a way of just sort of doing 899 00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:18,680 your own thing. And it's not that you don't want 900 00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:23,440 to do stuff because anything we all do together, whether it's a 901 00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:27,920 short series of videos or something with Aaron or or a 902 00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:31,040 sketch with Dave, like the Spanish singers or, or a sketch 903 00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:35,200 or column, you know that they are unbelievable crack to like 904 00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:37,000 make. And, you know, you get to hang 905 00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:40,200 out with friends as well as making something and that 906 00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:43,800 nothing would make me happier than to do some sort of TV 907 00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:47,040 project or, or something like that with, with my friends, 908 00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:51,040 basically. But, but yeah, I mean, there's 909 00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:55,760 no simple answer of why it it couldn't or or wouldn't happen. 910 00:49:56,000 --> 00:50:01,600 But I think we have the resources where an, an 911 00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:04,440 experience probably where we can make something like that 912 00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:07,440 ourselves. And you know, it'd probably be 913 00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:10,920 one of those things where you, you maybe, maybe offer like to 914 00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:13,360 TV and say like, look, we've got this thing, would you be 915 00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:15,160 interested? Or we're just going to put it 916 00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:20,120 online and regardless, but, but I don't know, I don't know. 917 00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:22,000 I had a chat with Colin recently about them. 918 00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:26,160 What we're sort of reminiscing about Hack Job, which was a 919 00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:31,080 sketch show that we made with everyone, like an ensemble cast 920 00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:33,800 kind of thing. And we would shoot like 6 921 00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:37,560 sketches or something and then put out episodes every week and 922 00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:38,960 have one of those sketches a week. 923 00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:43,400 And, and it was, it was great for, for its time. 924 00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:47,520 And I think something like that would be really, really popular 925 00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:50,160 now because, you know, everybody, we, we all have a bit 926 00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:53,920 of a following and, and we're probably better performers and 927 00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:57,080 writers knowing stuff. So I don't know. 928 00:50:57,160 --> 00:50:59,720 I would, I would, I would love to, and a panel show would work. 929 00:50:59,720 --> 00:51:04,920 I, I, I put a panel show together about 12 years ago in 930 00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:08,240 Belfast that booked the we studio and I had really good 931 00:51:08,240 --> 00:51:10,560 local comedians on it. And we did it to an audience of 932 00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:12,640 about 40 people, just like friends and stuff. 933 00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:15,880 And I brought a couple of producers down and they were 934 00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:19,960 like relatively interested in it, but nothing happened like 935 00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:23,600 BBC guys. So I think a panel show would be 936 00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:27,640 would be great, but you know, it's kind of like a small market 937 00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:29,800 here in terms of panel shows, like 8 or 10 cats. 938 00:51:30,240 --> 00:51:33,640 Use that as a as a reference. You like, you probably have the 939 00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:36,720 blame game and I don't know if you would have two panel shows 940 00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:42,640 and and like the blame game does unbelievable business and has 941 00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:45,240 done for God, I don't know how many years. 942 00:51:45,240 --> 00:51:48,600 So so that's kind of the panel show, but there's there's no 943 00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:50,880 reason why you couldn't do another one and maybe it would 944 00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:53,040 live somewhere else. I'm not sure. 945 00:51:53,240 --> 00:51:55,440 I'm not sure. But yeah, cheers for the 946 00:51:55,440 --> 00:52:00,720 question. I have a question from from 947 00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:05,640 James Dempster, the man himself who says just First off podcast 948 00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:07,920 this class absolutely addicted to these now and the sound of 949 00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:10,640 your soft but masculine voice is getting me through lockdown. 950 00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:12,560 That's a great way to describe it. 951 00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:17,080 Soft but masculine question, would you and by the way, keep 952 00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:18,680 it soft? All right, question. 953 00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:21,760 Would you rather not do stand up for the rest of your life or not 954 00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:24,760 drink tea for the rest of your life? 955 00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:27,120 Oh, you're talking about two of my big loves here. 956 00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:31,520 I would definitely not drink tea again. 957 00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:35,200 Jesus, perish the thought. What would I do if? 958 00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:39,200 What would I do if, like, I was up the high dough because a cup 959 00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:40,960 of tea is going to sort you out and make you all right? 960 00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:45,160 God, I'd have to drink other types of tea and it just 961 00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:48,360 wouldn't, wouldn't be the same. Reluctantly, I would. 962 00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:51,720 I would not drink tea again. But it would be very, very sad 963 00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:54,800 because I've seen the reality of not doing stand up for a while 964 00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:56,840 and. It makes me very sad. 965 00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:58,520 So I need to get back to doing stand up. 966 00:52:58,720 --> 00:53:00,960 But yeah, I wouldn't miss Teed. I don't know why you're playing 967 00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:02,320 with my heart like that, This James. 968 00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:05,080 But But yeah, they both be difficult. 969 00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:09,160 Fiona says in your podcast episode with Baldy Bunter 970 00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:14,160 disrespectful, but EE is bald and he is Bunter Castles. 971 00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:17,000 You talked about writing a piece set in the 90s. 972 00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:18,600 What is your writing? Process how long? 973 00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:20,920 Does it take you to finish a piece like that and are you 974 00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:24,040 aiming to get it to production companies or is it just a bit of 975 00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:28,920 crack? It's kind of all those things 976 00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:34,320 feeling it's a bit of crack. And I'm talking to production 977 00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:39,160 companies at the minute about it, writing something I probably 978 00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:42,520 want to do a bit more of. I'm always writing stand up, but 979 00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:45,520 with like film scripts or TV stuff. 980 00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:50,040 I've always like dabbled in it, but because I prefer performing. 981 00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:54,440 But now I'm kind of better at juggling both, I think. 982 00:53:55,400 --> 00:54:00,040 And that script is something I've been chipping away at for 983 00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:05,000 about four years. But it changes all the time. 984 00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:09,880 Like it's always been set in a summer in like 199596IN Belfast. 985 00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:12,800 And then it might change also though being about this or that. 986 00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:18,920 So it changes all the time. But my process, I'm probably not 987 00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:21,280 enough of a writer to even have a process. 988 00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:25,480 It probably changes all the time, but I like working on my 989 00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:28,520 laptop. I still use Word because I'm 990 00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:32,200 just representing it for all my pensioner homies, you know, I'm 991 00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:35,880 still using Microsoft Word even though you should use all these 992 00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,760 other programmes apparently. But then but I use. 993 00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:42,080 Word. And I like to write funny. 994 00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:44,120 Scenes first. There's probably the wrong order 995 00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:45,840 to do it. And if anyone is like an 996 00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:48,840 aspiring writer, don't take what I'm saying for granted because I 997 00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:52,400 don't even really consider myself a writer, but I write 998 00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:54,200 funny scenes at first all this could happen. 999 00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:56,440 This could happen. Then I work on the characters, 1000 00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:59,640 then I work on like a outline of it and then I might start 1001 00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:02,920 writing episodes. But I'm still very, very new to 1002 00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:04,760 it and still learning and writing. 1003 00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:07,600 Not like I can write like I can spell and stuff, but I mean 1004 00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:12,880 writing scripts and it is a bit of crack too, because I think 1005 00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:18,440 for me to want to like see a project through and develop it 1006 00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:21,360 and it would have to be, I would have to see myself having good 1007 00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:24,120 crack doing it. So it is kind of all those 1008 00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:28,680 things. But that that project is with a 1009 00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:29,880 production company at the minute. 1010 00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:33,280 They're kind of having a look at it and we'll see what happens. 1011 00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:36,400 You, you never know, you might have the best idea in the world. 1012 00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:39,160 I'm not saying this is but written down and someone might 1013 00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:43,800 just see it a different way or or not, you know, enjoy it as 1014 00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:46,840 much as as much as you'd think it could be good. 1015 00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:51,200 So I don't know, I'm chipping away at it, but there's, I hear 1016 00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:54,240 about a million different processes for writing and I 1017 00:55:54,240 --> 00:55:56,000 think everybody just just has a different. 1018 00:55:56,000 --> 00:56:02,200 One, you know, Matthew Myrnan, the the original Judas guy says, 1019 00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:09,000 says. Talk about this and he sent me a 1020 00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:12,840 side by side screenshot of the new Linfield away. 1021 00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:18,760 Kit and a UVF flag flying up on a lamppost. 1022 00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:26,040 I don't really know. What also also Cameron Brown 1023 00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:29,640 just wrote to me at 4:40 in the morning, Wayne Todd, Wayne Tood 1024 00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:33,400 actually from the podcast last week, which is disrespectful. 1025 00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:37,680 I mean, what, what am I going to offer on on this debate? 1026 00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:39,320 And Matthew, when you sent that, you probably thought he's not 1027 00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:43,280 going to talk about it. Yes, I think it's fair to say 1028 00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:46,960 that when they're side by side they look very, very similar in 1029 00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:49,960 terms of the colour scheme and the way the stripe is. 1030 00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:55,520 But I have no idea if that's if if that was meant to be like 1031 00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:59,120 that or not. As a football shirt. 1032 00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:04,840 I've got to say what's funny is somebody also they were talking, 1033 00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:07,480 obviously this has sparked a big debate and people are talking 1034 00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:11,280 about the Linfield shirt and then someone said what's the 1035 00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:14,320 best shirt ever? And they had this ombro home one 1036 00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:17,400 a couple of years ago that definitely was the best one ever 1037 00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:23,720 out of all theirs. Yeah, yes, the colours. 1038 00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:27,800 All right, sorry, I'm wrong. I thought the UVF flag had, 1039 00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:31,600 believe it or not, I can't just off the top of my head, think of 1040 00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:35,120 the UVF flag. I thought it had the diagonal 1041 00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:36,920 stripe on it, but it actually doesn't. 1042 00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:40,400 But yeah, the colours are very similar. 1043 00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:42,440 I, I don't, I don't fucking know. 1044 00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:45,560 I don't know. It's one of those things where 1045 00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:52,920 like if it's coincidence, OK, or if they were like, and again, I 1046 00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:56,400 have no idea if they were like, Oh well, let's just make, make 1047 00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:59,720 these colours the same. Apparently they're selling loads 1048 00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:04,080 of them. So I, I don't know, I don't 1049 00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:05,720 know. I do know that I did the 1050 00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:09,640 Linfield Christmas do about five years ago and it was absolutely 1051 00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:11,080 class. So. 1052 00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:15,680 I'm not going to throw them under a bus and say that is 1053 00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:19,360 directly inspired by that. They would have to answer that 1054 00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:21,680 for themselves. But one thing I do know, 1055 00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:25,960 Matthew, is you drive a hairdresser's car. 1056 00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:33,040 So what I want to say is. That's not a podcast question. 1057 00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:36,320 Somebody wants me to give a shout out about something that's 1058 00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:38,640 happening. And then I was like, they told 1059 00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:39,760 me to do a video for it or whatever. 1060 00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:41,320 Do you have a budget? And they were like, no, I just 1061 00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:43,280 tell people about it. And I was like, no, it's not 1062 00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:45,880 really high. That's not really high. 1063 00:58:45,880 --> 00:58:51,800 Things work. Not really high. 1064 00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:58,040 It goes OK. I have a questions on on Twitter 1065 00:58:58,160 --> 00:58:59,920 as well. I'm just making sure we're 1066 00:58:59,920 --> 00:59:02,680 recording and we are recording. I'm producer Dan tried to phone 1067 00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:07,160 me there and I just totally, yeah, totally ignored his call 1068 00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:10,040 and he just recall when suits. Well done. 1069 00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:12,600 I would, but I'm doing the podcast and you'll be listening 1070 00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:14,560 to this later this afternoon when you listen back to the 1071 00:59:14,560 --> 00:59:18,040 podcast before you edit it or do some magic stuff that you do to 1072 00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:19,120 it.

Just just ask how you are. 1081 00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:47,080 You didn't need to be sly to me. Yeah, I have questions on 1082 00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:48,720 Twitter. And what's great is I've said 1083 00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:50,800 that nine times. So. 1084 00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:54,320 So that's great. Yeah, me. 1085 00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:56,400 Thoughts on Linfield's new way kit? 1086 00:59:57,360 --> 01:00:01,800 I mean, what I do enjoy is the responses that it triggers the 1087 01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:04,160 comments, you know what I mean? Like people getting. 1088 01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:09,080 People are getting really fucking on both sides in 1089 01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:11,840 relation to an Irish league football shirt. 1090 01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:14,680 I mean, I, I just, I feel like like a lot of people, I just sit 1091 01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:17,680 back and watch that and and definitely enjoy it. 1092 01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:22,800 And also, you know, listen, it's brave all I mean, I've been very 1093 01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:26,040 brave today. But like you guys know, I played 1094 01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:29,040 for the legend team. I played once and I missed. 1095 01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:31,600 Like a complete. Sitter And then I should have 1096 01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:35,280 passed this guy and it didn't. He got really annoyed even 1097 01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:37,320 though it's like charity match and they haven't asked me to 1098 01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:39,440 play a game since. But who knows. 1099 01:00:40,240 --> 01:00:45,920 But but I don't know. Dino Kafola says what comedy TVI 1100 01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:49,640 mean Look, yes, it is the same colours. 1101 01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:53,560 That's that's what I know about it. 1102 01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:56,520 What I know about it is you show me two things of the same 1103 01:00:56,520 --> 01:00:59,360 colours. That's what I know. 1104 01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:01,800 I don't know anymore or any less than that. 1105 01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:07,800 Dino Kafola. Says what TV com what TV show 1106 01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:10,200 would you recommission and why Seinfeld. 1107 01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:12,680 I think you're trying to influence me there a little bit, 1108 01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:16,080 Dino, but. Dino Fuller, also a man who 1109 01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:19,720 permanently wears shorts, which is something that, you know, I 1110 01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:23,360 admire because I am wearing shorts right now and I've worn 1111 01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:24,840 shorts every day. I lock down and I'm going to 1112 01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:26,520 keep wearing shorts. And it's not because I want to 1113 01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:31,800 be like Dino, It's just because I enjoy it and I have very very 1114 01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:35,560 very nice legs. But but Dino says what TV shows 1115 01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:37,520 you recommission? I actually haven't seen much of 1116 01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:41,040 Seinfeld at all, even though I love Kerb and I like Jerry 1117 01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:44,360 Seinfeld as a guy. But but maybe I should watch 1118 01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:46,680 more of that, What would I? Recommission. 1119 01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:50,840 I mean, I was going to say. Father Ted, but you know, I 1120 01:01:50,840 --> 01:01:53,280 don't mean this to Rhyme or B Sly, but Ted is dead. 1121 01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:57,640 So something that got cancelled that theoretically could come 1122 01:01:57,640 --> 01:02:00,080 back. I remember watching this thing 1123 01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:02,800 on Trouble, which was a brilliant TV network back in the 1124 01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:04,960 day of like American comedies for kids. 1125 01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:07,360 And there was a show called City Guys. 1126 01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:11,080 And the premise of the show is it's just two friends, 2 inner 1127 01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:13,720 city friends, one guy's black, one guy's white. 1128 01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:17,120 And there really wasn't a lot more to it than that. 1129 01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:20,440 But what I liked about it is the theme tune went like this. 1130 01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:25,280 This is called City Guys and theme to Went CITY. 1131 01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:28,840 You can see why these guys. Then the guys go in streetwise. 1132 01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:31,720 I like that. And also I like Hang Time, which 1133 01:02:31,720 --> 01:02:34,240 is about a university basketball team for the same reason. 1134 01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:39,800 Hang Time, hanging together, we're tough, we're in the zone, 1135 01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:46,040 positive, never alone hang time. And I like that. 1136 01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:49,360 There was a guy in it called Theodore Produce, which I 1137 01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:52,080 thought was a great name. No, fuck it, let's bring back 1138 01:02:52,080 --> 01:02:54,320 Keenan and Kel. 100% Keenan and Kel. 1139 01:02:54,640 --> 01:02:57,520 Ah, here it goes. Yeah, Keenan and Kel. 1140 01:02:57,680 --> 01:03:00,160 I like that they were always getting into weird things. 1141 01:03:00,360 --> 01:03:02,560 I like the wee monologue thing they did at the start in front 1142 01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:04,240 of a live audience. I thought that was great. 1143 01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:08,480 Was a Keenan's dad. No, Kel's dad was always really 1144 01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:12,160 funny character and I like it that one day one of them was 1145 01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:15,000 sick and they made this concoction that the other one 1146 01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:17,600 was like this cure sickness and it was like blended chicken and 1147 01:03:17,600 --> 01:03:20,480 some other really stinking things and then the dad drank it 1148 01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:23,600 and he was sick or something. Ken and Gal for me was a great 1149 01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:27,040 show. Reba says hi shiny boy, cute, 1150 01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:30,040 cute. I like, oh, it says I like you. 1151 01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:33,320 I'm not a fan of large crowds. I thought it said hi shiny boy, 1152 01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:34,800 cute, cute. I like you. 1153 01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:38,600 I'm not a fan of large crowds and big social gatherings. 1154 01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:40,800 I mean, that makes me sound like I have that thing where you 1155 01:03:40,800 --> 01:03:44,320 don't like going outside. I don't mind large crowds but 1156 01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:48,120 it's like big social gatherings. I do like them, but I just mean 1157 01:03:48,120 --> 01:03:49,440 sometimes out of choice. I don't. 1158 01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:52,480 I love nothing more than snuggling up near the fire 1159 01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:54,640 reading a good book about Norse cults. 1160 01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:58,440 Fair. So my question is, when are you 1161 01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:00,480 most comfortable? When are you most? 1162 01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:03,280 That's us now, if you will, Rebus. 1163 01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:07,960 I am most. Comfortable on on a Saturday 1164 01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:13,840 morning at about half 9. Because I get Saturday is the 1165 01:04:13,840 --> 01:04:15,360 day I get up. I get up late. 1166 01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:21,080 I get up at about 9 half 89, which is very like late for me 1167 01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:24,440 and because I'm just one of these cool guys that gets up 1168 01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:30,080 really I get up at like 2:00 AM and then and I like to take my 1169 01:04:30,080 --> 01:04:35,880 porridge into the living room and watch Sky Sports News and I 1170 01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:38,160 lie down. I lie down living room sofa, 1171 01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:41,200 which I don't do a lot and a lot of time in my wife's pregnancy 1172 01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:45,080 pillow, which is great and I will continue to use that after 1173 01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:47,400 we've had the baby and I've got the hiccups, which has never 1174 01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:48,640 happened to me in a podcast before. 1175 01:04:48,640 --> 01:04:53,320 But let me hold my breath and see if they go away. 1176 01:04:55,040 --> 01:04:58,680 This give podcast content. I think they've gone away. 1177 01:04:58,960 --> 01:05:02,240 I like to do that on a hot kill. That was so quick getting rid of 1178 01:05:02,240 --> 01:05:05,400 hiccups. But yeah, Saturday mornings 1179 01:05:05,680 --> 01:05:10,280 relaxing, maybe catching up on a bit of TV just wearing like my 1180 01:05:10,360 --> 01:05:13,120 football shorts.

I don't know who that is. 1218 01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:33,240 Lawson Nesbitt. Violumpet guy from Castlecourt, 1219 01:07:33,840 --> 01:07:35,600 which ones would you build statues for? 1220 01:07:39,560 --> 01:07:42,840 Yeah, and Joe Turner writes, Should all statues be afraid? 1221 01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:49,160 It's a it's a difficult. One, I think if we're going for 1222 01:07:49,160 --> 01:07:52,400 one big one. I think it's. 1223 01:07:52,400 --> 01:07:54,040 Tough. It would be tough not to have 1224 01:07:54,040 --> 01:07:56,520 Julian Simmons. You know, if you don't know 1225 01:07:56,520 --> 01:07:59,960 Julian Simmons, he's a continuity announcer on UTV. 1226 01:07:59,960 --> 01:08:02,800 So before our big soaps are on, Julian gives you a bit of a 1227 01:08:02,800 --> 01:08:06,280 preview of the soap and some people could potentially 1228 01:08:06,280 --> 01:08:11,920 describe him as camp. And he unites everybody, like on 1229 01:08:11,920 --> 01:08:15,280 all sides of the fence. People go, Julian is a, is a, is 1230 01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:18,520 a legend. So I'd be a. 1231 01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:21,160 Forgiven at the Simmons, like definitely, I think that'd be 1232 01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:23,200 enjoyable and I don't I don't think anybody would have a 1233 01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:26,760 problem with it. Mel Makaki says when are you 1234 01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:29,040 legally changing your name to Wayne Tude? 1235 01:08:29,479 --> 01:08:33,800 You've also sent me a link to the deed poll. 1236 01:08:34,120 --> 01:08:36,960 Can we get a GoFundMe page for the 18 point needed to do that? 1237 01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:42,399 Mel, that's disrespectful. Fuck off, Con, Gribbon says Put. 1238 01:08:44,600 --> 01:08:47,200 Everything you have in your person on the ground, No, I 1239 01:08:49,760 --> 01:08:50,640 don't care. Anyone. 1240 01:08:52,040 --> 01:08:55,160 Everything. Yeah, that's a policeman saying 1241 01:08:55,160 --> 01:08:57,240 to someone in Belfast to think put everything you have on the 1242 01:08:57,240 --> 01:09:01,520 ground and someone just going I've just eaten a. 1243 01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:03,439 Hamburger. I mean, weird that you would 1244 01:09:03,439 --> 01:09:05,479 call it hamburger. Most people just say burger. 1245 01:09:05,600 --> 01:09:06,840 Weird. In that situation, when the 1246 01:09:06,840 --> 01:09:08,960 police are involved, you remember to put ham in front of 1247 01:09:08,960 --> 01:09:10,640 a given giving it its full title. 1248 01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:12,720 Yeah.

This was a bit rambly this week. 1251 01:09:20,319 --> 01:09:22,240 I've got to acknowledge that of the bat. 1252 01:09:22,720 --> 01:09:26,120 You know what it takes. It takes a it takes a brave guy 1253 01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:29,399 to do that, to acknowledge that. This week's pod was a bit 1254 01:09:29,399 --> 01:09:31,920 rambly, but sometimes that's just going to happen. 1255 01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:34,800 Guys, it's been my birthday. I've lost a run on myself 1256 01:09:34,800 --> 01:09:36,760 basically.
