1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:02,960
I'm Michael. 
Che and I'm Colin Jose, and 

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,280
we've got a little secret. 
Actually, it's a pretty big 

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

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

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

6
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,080
Come on, tell them a little. 
Like how we're hosting of comedy

7
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,640
events streaming only on 
Peacock, exactly how it's called

8
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,200
New York After Dark and it's a 
comedy show that only features 

9
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:18,960
drop in comic. 
Boom, you nail. 

10
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:20,360
Into Michael Chase phone 
numbers. 

11
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:21,960
Whoa, whoa, whoa. 
Hey, hey, hey. 

12
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,720
New York After Dark. 
It's some kind of comedy thing, 

13
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,000
and it's streaming now only on 
Peacock. 

14
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:41,880
You love it. 
Zippers, welcome to this episode

15
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,040
of the Tea with Me podcast. 
Hey guys, cheers to us. 

16
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:49,640
I'm alright, cheers to us. 
Let me just take a little a 

17
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,640
little sip of tea there. 
And you know that I was a little

18
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,000
sip because that cup's very hot.
So it's just we sippies, OK? 

19
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,440
It was just we sippies and 
that's it. 

20
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,640
But throughout this podcast, 
we're going to drink a cup of 

21
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:00,920
tea. 
We might drink two. 

22
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,680
We might drink three, OK. 
Some guys might be in isolation 

23
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,040
not long that they're just 
having straight up pints of tea 

24
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,440
on draft. 
And that's what we like to see. 

25
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,560
This is a real fun episode of 
the podcast this week. 

26
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,520
Hardly. 
I know because some of it has 

27
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,800
already happened. 
I'm just going to introduce an 

28
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,680
interview that I did with Eamonn
Holmes. 

29
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:27,800
Eamonn Holmes, I grew up known 
as the GMTV presenter. 

30
00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:30,120
I knew he was from, he was from 
Belfast. 

31
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,600
That was about it. 
Then as time has gone on, I've 

32
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,680
seen him on so many different 
things, being a presenter, panel

33
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:42,520
shows, a news anchor, radio 
host, you name it, he's done it 

34
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,400
and done a damn good job of of 
doing those things. 

35
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,760
So I did a Mike McGoldrick 
video, one of my alter ego, 

36
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,400
alter ego, easy for me to say 
alter ego characters. 

37
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:54,840
I was actually playing a new 
character there. 

38
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,840
He doesn't know how to speak. 
And I actually just nailed it. 

39
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:01,400
So shut up. 
But Eamon did a Mike McGoldrick 

40
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,920
video with me about five years 
ago. 

41
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,200
I sent him a message on Twitter,
asked him would he do it. 

42
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,960
He was like, yes, I'd love to. 
He arrived to do the video and 

43
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,720
it became clear that he had not 
seen the character before. 

44
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,600
And it was just through his kids
that he had an association with 

45
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,560
a character. 
So we chat about that because I 

46
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:21,920
always meant to ask him about 
that. 

47
00:02:21,920 --> 00:02:24,280
Like, did he, had he seen any of
the videos beforehand? 

48
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,480
And he more than more than 
answers that question. 

49
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,720
But just a complete gentleman, 
as you'll see over the course of

50
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,760
this interview, gave up his time
for me to do this. 

51
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:41,160
And, and, and yeah, and he just,
he's very insightful, funny and,

52
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,640
and just I, I think extremely 
charming. 

53
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,720
He's an engaging speaker. 
And yeah, we did talk a lot of 

54
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,640
about a lot of silly things, as 
you'd expect on this podcast. 

55
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:54,080
But also we kind of get into it 
as well about his career, the 

56
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,880
advice that he would have, I 
guess, for somebody like me. 

57
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,880
And I found out really, really 
interesting a lot of what what 

58
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:04,280
he was saying, he tells me 
about, you know, sort of new 

59
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,000
celebrities, if you want to call
it that, coming on the TV and 

60
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,120
how he he deals with them. 
And they're very, very funny 

61
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:10,960
story. 
You might have seen. 

62
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:15,320
I've posted the clip on social 
media about a celebrity not 

63
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,680
sitting on the sofa when he 
interviewed them. 

64
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,120
We, we cover loads of things 
And, and you know, we talk about

65
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,800
Northern Ireland as well, so 
many different things. 

66
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,960
He's funny. 
He's he's a lovely, lovely man 

67
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,560
and I think you guys are really 
going to enjoy this episode. 

68
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:35,000

made them flat out. 
Nobody's flat out.

00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,079

00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,120
the episodes you've listened to 
before. 

89
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,120
Or if you're a new listener, 
what the hell have you been? 

90
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,360
This is the Tea with Me episode 
with Eamonn Holmes. 

91
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,600
Let's get into it even. 
First of all, let me thanks for 

92
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,760
thanks for agreeing to do the 
podcast. 

93
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,080
I appreciate it. 
It's tea with me. 

94
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,720
So I've got I've got to find out
your tea background. 

95
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,160
First of all, are you an avid 
tea drinker? 

96
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,480
What's what's the situation 
there? 

97
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:54,280
Not an avid tea drinker. 
I do like a bit of Earl Grey 

98
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,600
Sheen and and then I realised 
sometimes it's a bit, it's a 

99
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,640
bit, it's a bit fragrant a bit. 
What's the word? 

100
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,960
It's like flour sometimes and I 
think, but you just can't have 

101
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,280
that with a bacon sandwich. 
So no, you need just, you know, 

102
00:05:08,280 --> 00:05:11,480
a Tetley or something. 
I don't like strong tea. 

103
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,800
I don't like dark tea but don't 
like a two week either. 

104
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:19,520
I do have to have sugar in it, 
but I'm not up to at least 2 at.

105
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,040
Least two upwards of what are we
chatting? 

106
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,400
Sometimes two in a bit. 
OK. 

107
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,800
Or 4 sweeteners. 
Well, you're doing, you're doing

108
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,400
long filament days a lot of the 
time as well. 

109
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,760
So I think that can be forgiven 
because you're, you know, you're

110
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,800
on the go, you're, you're 
working big hours. 

111
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,960
See the, on the Earl Grey thing.
I mean, that's that's maybe a 

112
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,880
controversial subject on the 
podcast because there's been a 

113
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:45,320
lot of Earl Grey hit. 
Did you ever did you drink our 

114
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,960
tea before you left home? 
Because I feel like it's not 

115
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,400
really socially acceptable in 
Northern Ireland. 

116
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,040
Was that? 
I would agree with you. 

117
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,040
I'd agree with you. 
I don't think it's socially 

118
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:59,400
acceptable in Northern Ireland. 
My mother's not a tea drinker at

119
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,920
all. 
Yeah, and in fact, I don't drink

120
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,240
coffee, so. 
And I'm not a sort of person, 

121
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,160
you know, you turn on Coronation
Street and they say, oh, I'm 

122
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,600
gasping for a cuppa. 
I've never been gasping for a 

123
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:18,120
cuppa in my life. 
So I don't have that urge for 

124
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,720
tea. 
But I quite, I quite like a tea.

125
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,440
What I can't do is a very 
Northern Irish thing, this if 

126
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,360
someone says to me, you have a 
cup of tea, I'd have to say what

127
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,680
are we having with it? 
I couldn't drink a cup of tea on

128
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,240
its own. 
Oh, right. 

129
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:33,960
OK. 
Yes, you see, so I've got 

130
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,080
biscuits and all sorts of things
like that, you know, I couldn't,

131
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,520
I couldn't just drink tea. 
On what's your What's your 

132
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,400
preferred weapon of choice? 
With the tea custard cream. 

133
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,240
Well, do you know what that's 
mad? 

134
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,320
Because spoiler alert. 
But one of the questions we get 

135
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,640
sort of high bro question 
questions from listeners here, 

136
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,840
one of which was ask him and 
what biscuit he likes to 

137
00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:54,040
accommodate tea. 
And this person correctly 

138
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,160
predicted that. 
You look like a custard cream 

139
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:57,960
kind of guy. 
Yeah, custard cream. 

140
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,680
It'll tell you what's even nicer
than custard cream, and you 

141
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,800
rarely get them. 
It's an orange cream. 

142
00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:07,400
Right. 
Definitely retros. 

143
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,280
I remember them, yeah. 
Yes, an orange cream. 

144
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:15,160
I do like a mint yo-yo. 
As well. 

145
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,680
Yeah, yeah. 
I could have that with it, but 

146
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,400
I'm not a sort of person that 
would take like a plain rich tea

147
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,600
biscuit or a digestive biscuit 
that has to have chocolate on it

148
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:24,760
or something like. 
That right? 

149
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,200
Kit Kat's quite nice Twix Twix 
is nice with a cup of tea. 

150
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,040
Twix and a cup of tea. 
A lot of people see I I don't do

151
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,120
weird things with food. 
Like I know a lot of people when

152
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,160
it comes to a Twix will just eat
the chocolate layer off the top 

153
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,920
then the biscuit. 
I don't really have much time 

154
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,080
for that, but I guess each to 
each to their own but that. 

155
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,600
Sort of verges on a perversion. 
Yes, yeah, I would say. 

156
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,720
No, that's that's it. 
But weird. 

157
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,280
What's your, what's your, what's
your lockdown situation? 

158
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,520
What's what? 
What were you working in at the 

159
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,720
minute? 
Well, I'm not working. 

160
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,240
Basically I say that I'm not 
working. 

161
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,800
Everything in the diary is like 
cancelled. 

162
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,520
There's nothing there, which is 
why you and me are talking, 

163
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,560
Shane. 
Yes, I'm going to be talking for

164
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,840
the next 9 hours. 
We're going to be talking for 

165
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:13,560
the next but. 
No, I've got, we've got this 

166
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,200
morning once a week if things 
stay the way they are. 

167
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:20,160
We've got a week of this Morning
for the Easter week, the week 

168
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,440
prior to Easter. 
Now the interesting thing about 

169
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,400
that is that the engineers have 
come to our house and wired our 

170
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,440
house up with cameras in the 
next room. 

171
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:37,360
They intend, they intend to keep
this morning on air. 

172
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,080
So if we have to broadcast from 
home, we have to. 

173
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,559
We can, we're in a position 
where we can broadcast from 

174
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,360
home. 
But outside this morning, 

175
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,400
there's absolutely nothing there
in the diary. 

176
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,600
Everything gone, wiped out. 
If you were broadcasting this 

177
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,800
morning from home, would you 
just go like John and you'll go 

178
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,920
with it and just just stay in 
bed? 

179
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,120
No, we're not. 
No, you've no. 

180
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,040
It's in bed. 
You're not going to see pictures

181
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:02,400
of me in bed. 
The other thing you don't see me

182
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:03,840
doing in bed is eating. 
I do. 

183
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,200
I couldn't, someone said take a 
cup of tea in the biscuit in 

184
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:07,480
bed. 
No, I wouldn't want a cup of 

185
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:08,920
tea. 
I don't want toast in bed. 

186
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:10,680
I don't want to eat a fry in 
bed. 

187
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,520
I don't want to do that in bed. 
I know what Bed's for and it's 

188
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,920
not for eating I mean. 
I can understand someone who 

189
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,520
just goes and picks up a snack, 
personally I don't but takes it 

190
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,320
to bed. 
But the idea of going down, 

191
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,080
making a fry, you're up anyway. 
Yes, you're up. 

192
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:26,240
Any why are you bringing it back
to bed? 

193
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,200
Are you bringing a fryer back to
bed? 

194
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:33,880
I know, I agree. 
I know is I mean, like, are you 

195
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,280
able to still like broadcast 
stuff from the house? 

196
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,800
How would you do you feel weird 
about doing that sort of thing 

197
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,240
in the house? 
Because I know you sort of needs

198
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,880
must at the minute, but like 
I've, I've sort of turned my 

199
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:48,040
spare room here into a bit of a 
studio and I, I was doing a lot 

200
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,400
of work from home and then I got
a studio a couple of years ago. 

201
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,800
I'm definitely going out of the 
house to work is a lot easier. 

202
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,320
Sometimes when you're in in your
own house, you're just too 

203
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,520
comfortable to work. 
No, but I think Shane, I think 

204
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:04,480
things will change. 
I was saying to Ruth last week 

205
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:09,160
when they were rigging those 
cameras up in the other room, I 

206
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,400
said to her, you know, TV 
companies going to look at costs

207
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:16,400
and if the viewing figures don't
fall, which they haven't, they 

208
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:20,080
will cut all the costs of 
transporting people in and out 

209
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,320
of studios and whatever. 
And no sooner had I said it than

210
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:27,680
an e-mail dropped asking us to 
pilot a programme for ITV, which

211
00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:30,840
would involve coming from our 
house with other people from 

212
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,360
their houses. 
And I said, see, that's the way 

213
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,240
it's going to go and that is the
way it's going to go. 

214
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,160
But you're speaking from a 
perspective of living in 

215
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:42,120
Northern Ireland whereby you can
be anywhere with anybody in 10 

216
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:46,840
minutes here for me to get into 
London, 2 hours, you know, I 

217
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:51,280
disgusted 2 hours in, two hours 
out in the car and hideous. 

218
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,720
So that motivation for me would 
be I could see if 3 to 4 hours a

219
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,960
day just by working from home. 
You know, when I you know, when 

220
00:10:59,960 --> 00:11:04,760
I was doing talk Radio 4 days a 
week, that's that was 90. 

221
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,400
What was that night? 
3 hours, 3 hours in and out. 

222
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,840
So that's a commute you don't 
you want to do. 

223
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,360
So your motivation, if someone 
says to you, do you fancy doing 

224
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:14,360
this from home? 
You're saying? 

225
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,320
Yeah, of course I do. 
Yeah, I'm building some sort of 

226
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,520
space is so easy like I just 
have I have this is a box room. 

227
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,800
I've got a green screen and I 
don't really need anything else,

228
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,520
you know, to try to put out a 
video a day, sketch a day and 

229
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,320
and it's great. 
I mean, you're obviously 

230
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:31,840
limited. 
I'm limited on what sort of 

231
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,600
sketches I can film here. 
But in a way, since we've gone 

232
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,040
into this lockdown, I've never, 
I've never been more productive.

233
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,320
You know, just because you've 
got no other options, you're not

234
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,440
going to even you're, you know, 
my working weeks sometimes 

235
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:48,040
involves a lot of let's meet up 
for a tea and a chat and it's 

236
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:52,360
not many hours of, you know, 
actually, actually doing stuff. 

237
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:56,720
So not that this is a good 
situation, but for productivity,

238
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,280
for me it's been. 
It's brilliant, yeah. 

239
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,960
And yeah, I think a lot more 
things will happen from the 

240
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,600
house like we did. 
I do a show on Ready Wolster on 

241
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,880
Friday nights and we did the 
show this week. 

242
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:13,760
I broadcast from my room, from 
this, this sort of office I'm in

243
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,040
now. 
And the difference wasn't 

244
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:17,640
massive. 
You know, it's not like like. 

245
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,880
There are, there are times when 
it is really worthwhile to go 

246
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,320
into an office, to mix in a work
environment, to meet other 

247
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,200
people. 
You know, that's that's great 

248
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,640
sociability. 
There's times when it's a pain 

249
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,080
in the backside when somebody 
wants you. 

250
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,600
For instance, meetings. 
I, I live in a world where 

251
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:38,520
everybody wants a blooming 
meeting and you sit and, and I 

252
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,320
come out. 
If I come out of another meeting

253
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:44,560
and I say what the fact was that
all about what a complete that 

254
00:12:44,560 --> 00:12:47,080
there's two hours of my life, 
I'm never going to get back 

255
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,680
again. 
And it is absolutely scandalous.

256
00:12:50,680 --> 00:12:54,040
I mean, I, I sit on the board of
this is one of the productive 

257
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,080
meetings, though. 
I sit on the board of Manchester

258
00:12:56,080 --> 00:13:00,800
United Foundation, which is the 
charity arm of the club and, and

259
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:06,160
I've done so for 12 years now 
and I used to have to go to 

260
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,920
Manchester for a meeting that 
would last two hours or so and 

261
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,000
then back down again. 
So a whole day. 

262
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,240
So it's like 4 hours up, 4 hours
down, plus the two hour meeting.

263
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:20,160
And we can now go into London 
where they have this video wall 

264
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,280
at United and you can sit there 
and it's even better than this. 

265
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,280
It's as if you're just sitting 
in the same room as people. 

266
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,480
It's absolutely incredible. 
Whereas I'm not going to say, 

267
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:30,960
well, why do I have to even go 
into London? 

268
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,640
Why can't we do it like this? 
And you Zoom or you Skype or 

269
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,160
FaceTime or whatever it happens 
to be. 

270
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,720
So I do think there's certain 
things that are going to change 

271
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,360
and where it's better for the 
environment, it's a better 

272
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,160
productivity of your time. 
I mean, since all of this has 

273
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,360
been happening, I've never been 
lighter. 

274
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,800
I've had time, I've had time to 
walk the dog, I've had time to 

275
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,720
exercise, I've time to sit in 
the sun. 

276
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,240
Look at me, you can hardly see 
me. 

277
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,760
Look at the colour. 
I am sick of that carpet, you 

278
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,160
know. 
So just having time, my friend, 

279
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,440
is, is incredible. 
And once you give that to 

280
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,200
people, it's very hard to hand 
that back. 

281
00:14:04,680 --> 00:14:07,280
I mean, it'll be interesting. 
This like stand up comedy is, is

282
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,160
the main thing I do. 
It'll be interesting to see how 

283
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,280
that's how that's affected. 
I mean, the dream is I'm just 

284
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,320
doing gigs from my kitchen, you 
know, that's, that's, that's a 

285
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,000
dream. 
We get an audience, you know, 

286
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,680
I'm some sort of hologram. 
I don't even need to be there. 

287
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:23,960
That's a dream. 
But I mean, it's, it's weird 

288
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,440
with being a stunt comedian 
because of course you want as 

289
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,240
many people in a confined space 
as possible. 

290
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,120
So I don't know when that's all 
due to get back. 

291
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,400
I did the thing, I did a thing 
called Zoom. 

292
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:40,160
So, so we're on Zoom at the 
minute and, and one of my lads 

293
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,080
said to me, oh, dad, you should 
try House party. 

294
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:45,960
Have you heard of this app 
called House Party? 

295
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:50,880
So apparently so bloody phone 
doesn't stop. 

296
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,800
So I'll just turn this off. 
You also get this thing that 

297
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,320
it's funny when everybody sends 
you these funny COVID or 

298
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:03,120
coronavirus videos and then the 
same video comes to you 17 times

299
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,720
from different people and then 
it doesn't become funny anymore.

300
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,240
That's what's sort of going on 
there. 

301
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,520
But I was talking about this 
house party app. 

302
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:16,840
And so you join this app, this 
house party, and you can have, 

303
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,720
you know, 50 people on the 
screen or 100 people or 

304
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,360
whatever. 
And the first person, once you 

305
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,240
let people know you're honoured,
people apply to be your house 

306
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,200
party friend, are there. 
And the first one was Brendan 

307
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,080
O'carroll from as in Mrs 
Brandon. 

308
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,040
That's good, that's nice. 
He's in Mike and I saw he's in 

309
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:36,880
my contacts, even forgot he's in
my contacts. 

310
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,560
There is boom, boom, boom, boom 
and then I have all these other 

311
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,400
names pop up. 
Don't know any of them. 

312
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,840
Never heard of any of them. 
So it appears that anybody who's

313
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:46,400
in. 
So if you and I want to do this 

314
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:50,080
and I said I have a bit of Sheen
and whatever made there a couple

315
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,760
of other people, but ever in 
your contact book, conjoin it. 

316
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,440
Ever in my contact book, conjoin
it. 

317
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,240
So you're in that awful 
situation where people who maybe

318
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:01,520
haven't spoken to for 15 years 
say, just thought of take this 

319
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,960
opportunity, you know, of 
getting in touch and you think, 

320
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:05,640
well, there's probably a reason 
we. 

321
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,480
Haven't, that's why yeah, yeah, 
yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. 

322
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,760
I mean, that's that's enjoyable.
I mean, when you start with 

323
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:14,120
yourself and Brendan O'carroll, 
I mean, it, it it becomes a big 

324
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,840
I'd like to see who, you know 
how that party ends up with a 

325
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:21,200
with a lot more people. 
Do you have like, do you have 

326
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,640
many friends that are in the 
same industry as yourself in 

327
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,560
terms of, you know, you were 
like Brendan Carlson contact 

328
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,000
list. 
Do you are you friendly with 

329
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,800
other presenters? 
What's your social circle or are

330
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:31,800
you friends with people? 
You just. 

331
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,280
Well, I tell you, the answer is 
the answer is yes. 

332
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:41,040
But the downside of all that is,
again, this living in London 

333
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:45,120
business where you've got, you 
know, within the M25 or so, it's

334
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,760
a vast area. 
So if you say I'm going to pop 

335
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,760
down and see Ryland Clark, for 
instance, he's a very good 

336
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,160
friend. 
Well, that's, that's 90 minutes 

337
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,240
getting to Ryland on a Saturday 
night, you're in this house and 

338
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:03,440
then 90 minutes home again, it's
the same for anybody wherever 

339
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,720
they live. 
So people tend not to bother. 

340
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,319
There's lots of people Ruth and 
I are friendly with. 

341
00:17:09,319 --> 00:17:13,280
Ruth is very on show busy. 
I just am friendly. 

342
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,880
We're not show busy people, but 
we we have not with, but you 

343
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:22,000
would think the the sort of 
Premier League type people on on

344
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,000
TV we're we're more the sort of,
you know, conference league type

345
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,839
people. 
We, we keep in touch with all 

346
00:17:26,839 --> 00:17:28,640
them and we're very, very 
friendly. 

347
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:33,840
It's a load of people, load of 
people who I could spend my day 

348
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:39,240
just texting people and things. 
And I'm, I'm more sociable than 

349
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,040
than Ruth would be on that 
front. 

350
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:45,360
She's very nonplussed by it all.
But I just am interested in the 

351
00:17:45,360 --> 00:17:48,360
business and people are often 
asking you advice and whatever. 

352
00:17:48,360 --> 00:17:51,440
So that's, that's quite good. 
So we, we have, we have quite a 

353
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,800
lot of people, you know, like 
Ruth's best friend is Lucy 

354
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:59,360
Alexander, who you would know 
from homes under the Hammer and 

355
00:17:59,360 --> 00:18:01,800
the carpet, right? 
Adverts and things like that. 

356
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,720
And I mean when I say me good 
friends because she lives 

357
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,760
nearby, so she's in our house 
all the time. 

358
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,200
We're in her house. 
You know, Ryland, tremendous 

359
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:15,440
friend and right, right. 
It's just moved into a big 

360
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,560
house, but he was Ryan's house 
was we went to visit him one 

361
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,920
night and he invited us down to 
the house and took a just 

362
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,120
getting there. 
We got there and you're 

363
00:18:25,120 --> 00:18:26,640
thinking, well, what sort of 
house does he live in? 

364
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,920
So. 
I mean, I'm very, I'm very keen 

365
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,120
to know what sort of house Ryan 
lives in because I'm picturing a

366
00:18:31,120 --> 00:18:34,480
lot of like water features. 
I'm thinking there's maybe 

367
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:39,000
chandeliers. 
I have AI have a vision of it in

368
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:40,120
my. 
Head bit of bling you're 

369
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,800
thinking, so you go down the you
come off the, the motorway and 

370
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,080
you start going through these 
areas and roots company couldn't

371
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:48,320
live here. 
We couldn't live here. 

372
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,560
And you go to an area that's a 
bit like gang Gormley in the 

373
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:56,120
1950s or 60s. 
So it's just full of bungalows, 

374
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:57,920
right? 
And we say, well, I'm sure he 

375
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,400
doesn't live in a bungalow. 
So you're going along with 

376
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,760
street and then there's a 
bungalow that becomes like a 

377
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:06,040
compound, which is a massive 
white wall, rounded and light 

378
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,240
shining up on the the house. 
And it's got an extension on the

379
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,480
roof of the bungalow. 
And you realise this is his 

380
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:13,680
house. 
This is his house. 

381
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,680
And it's got blue lights and 
things shining in the front 

382
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,400
house. 
So you go inside, but it is a 

383
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:18,800
bungalow. 
It's a bungalow that has been 

384
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,120
transformed. 
It was a bungalow fortress. 

385
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,040
Yes, a bungalow fortress. 
That's exactly right. 

386
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,760
And so you go inside and as you 
would imagine, you're absolutely

387
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,200
right. 
He's got, it's a bit like Doctor

388
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:36,920
Who's tired as you go inside and
it's memorabilia of Big Brother.

389
00:19:37,120 --> 00:19:39,400
So he's got Big Brother chairs 
in there, Big Brother light 

390
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,440
switches, Big Brother, there's 
all sorts of Big Brother type 

391
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:47,200
things. 
Lovely house and him and his him

392
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,280
and his husband share that house
and that's very nice. 

393
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:54,440
But however he did pack up a few
months ago and he's bought a new

394
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,240
one and it's much bigger I 
believe with grounds around 

395
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,200
different things. 
But he's doing incredibly well. 

396
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,720
My God is doing so well, but we 
haven't been able to get down to

397
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,040
see him yet. 
But I think. 

398
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,480
He's a lovely fellow. 
Yeah, he, he just, he just has 

399
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,480
that natural like ability where 
you sort of watch him and go he 

400
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,440
he's not, he's not playing a 
character here. 

401
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,880
He's just 1000% being himself 
and. 

402
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,240
And genuine, genuine, you know, 
he's a genuine guy. 

403
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,600
I think I think that's you know,
I wouldn't say you and Ryan have

404
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,040
similar presenting styles, but 
but I would say that that's 

405
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:28,400
that's very similar with you in 
terms of what when when I watch 

406
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,920
you present then like when I 
watch you right now and when we 

407
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:32,560
which I want to talk to you 
about in a little bit. 

408
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,920
Whenever we did that video years
ago in Hollywood, that sketch 

409
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,360
there, there's no difference. 
Is that something you're you 

410
00:20:40,360 --> 00:20:42,400
were conscious of when you 
started presenting, That you 

411
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,120
just wanted to be as as like 
yourself as as possible because 

412
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,880
you know you can from doing like
a tiny bit of presenter. 

413
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,560
Whenever I was younger, I always
found myself like putting on 

414
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,080
what you would call a 
presenter's voice. 

415
00:20:54,120 --> 00:20:55,520
I was trying to be something I 
wasn't. 

416
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,480
Did you always try and not do 
that? 

417
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:02,880
Or tried to watch the best and 
forget the rest and and I still 

418
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,000
watch everybody. 
I could mark homework. 

419
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,120
If you give me a presenter in 
Northern Ireland, I would, I 

420
00:21:08,120 --> 00:21:12,800
would watch them and I could 
mark their homework and I I 

421
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,040
would be a very good coach, I'd 
be a very good producer from 

422
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,040
that point of view. 
Because nobody helps anybody 

423
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,360
else. 
No one actually says to people 

424
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,280
you're enthusiastic, you're a 
good journalist, but actually 

425
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:28,480
you're crap on air. 
And it never ceases to amaze me 

426
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,920
when I switch on the television,
particularly during this 

427
00:21:31,120 --> 00:21:34,080
coronavirus crisis. 
And so many people are getting 

428
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,120
their chances on news stations 
all around the country. 

429
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,480
And you think, so that's the 
best presenter you have? 

430
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,880
Is that the best you can do? 
And, and it never ceases to 

431
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:45,840
amuse me. 
And I, and I always think to 

432
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,000
myself, I thought, how did I get
on? 

433
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,160
How did I actually make it in 
this business? 

434
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:55,600
And the reason I, I made it was 
that so many, too many people 

435
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,800
aren't very good. 
That's the whole problem. 

436
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,800
And if you're half good at all, 
if you do watch the best, forget

437
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,920
the rest and model yourself on 
the on the best people, I think 

438
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:06,760
you've a pretty good chance of 
getting through there. 

439
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,440
But the amount of people who are
not coached and not told and who

440
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,080
can't present, basically, I have
this thing. 

441
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,760
If you have someone whose eyes 
are like this and they're 

442
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,000
watching and they're presenting 
A programme and they go good 

443
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,640
evening and welcome to the 
programme, we'll add sack them 

444
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,120
straight away, right? 
Basically, if you look too keen 

445
00:22:26,120 --> 00:22:27,880
to be there, you shouldn't be 
there. 

446
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,600
That's basically you don't want 
to get on an aeroplane, do you? 

447
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,760
Shame you don't work on an 
aeroplane, the pilot says. 

448
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,400
Good afternoon everybody. 
Well, I'm delighted to be here 

449
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,360
and I'm thrilled a bit. 
So we're going to be flying to 

450
00:22:38,360 --> 00:22:40,520
Ibiza. 
It's going to be a flight time, 

451
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,240
all 5, we think more or less 3 
hours, 20 minutes. 

452
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,600
And we really do hope that we're
going to get you there. 

453
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,800
It's going to be enjoyable. 
I'm so no, you want somebody to 

454
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,920
be who does the deadline them. 
Hello there. 

455
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,120
How are you doing? 
3 hours 20 minutes. 

456
00:22:54,120 --> 00:22:55,800
That's what it's going to take 
to get to Ibiza. 

457
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,200
Strap in, enjoy the ride. 
Here we go. 

458
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,560
That's what you want. 
You want something. 

459
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,600
You want the pilot who sounds 
like he doesn't need to be doing

460
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,280
this. 
You know what you eat, he's not 

461
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:06,280
arsed. 
You want a pilot? 

462
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,280
He's not arsed. 
So my philosophy, and not 

463
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,280
everybody agrees with that, is 
that that's exactly where you 

464
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,880
want your TV presenter to be. 
That's that's my genuine view, 

465
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,960
rightly. 
No, I like that view a lot on 

466
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,000
it. 
I want to ask you about maybe 

467
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,160
whenever you were starting 
presenting or or just in 

468
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,200
general. 
I've pitched some awful 

469
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,840
programmes in my time where I've
come up with an idea whenever I 

470
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,000
was a bit younger and 
enthusiastic and you don't 

471
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:34,640
really think about it. 
You're like, wouldn't this be a 

472
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,520
great idea? 
Did you ever pitch anything 

473
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,920
yourself back in the day that 
you now look back on and go, 

474
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:46,760
thank God nobody greenlit that? 
No, because most ideas are are 

475
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,440
quite good. 
Most ideas are workable 

476
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,720
depending on who presents them. 
And you can look at the most 

477
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,800
ordinary formats on TV, the most
ordinary formats. 

478
00:23:57,120 --> 00:24:00,080
And you would say, well, if I 
pitched that, people would say 

479
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,040
no to that. 
But if somebody else pitches it 

480
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,560
and their mates, A commissioner 
or whatever, then you're in, 

481
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,480
you're through the door. 
So it doesn't matter what you 

482
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:07,240
want to do. 
She. 

483
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,160
And really at the end of the 
day, it's what they want to do. 

484
00:24:10,360 --> 00:24:12,880
So you know, when the 
commissioners say, yeah, that's 

485
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:14,840
great ideas because that's what 
they want to do. 

486
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,480
It's not there's anything 
particularly wrong with with 

487
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,160
your idea. 
So yeah. 

488
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,120
Well, I mean, I mean, there was,
there was. 

489
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:24,960
What's quite a lot wrong with a 
lot of these ideas? 

490
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,200
Go and pitch it to me. 
Pitch something to me. 

491
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,960
All right, what about, I mean, 
I'm thinking we have like a 

492
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,280
cross community dating show in 
Northern Ireland. 

493
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,480
It's sort of like blind date, 
but we use the peace wall. 

494
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,880
You know, I'd like, I'd like the
peace wall to, to, to sort of 

495
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,160
come up like a garage door at 
the end of it. 

496
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,880
And so we're basically it's a 
dating show, but we're we're 

497
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,240
promoting cross community 
relations. 

498
00:24:51,360 --> 00:24:53,440
Different. 
Yes, yes. 

499
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:54,600
And they weren't keen. 
I'm not for. 

500
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,200
Some reason but I'm not keen. 
I'm going to find it myself, 

501
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,080
zippers. 
Forgive me for interrupting the 

502
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,920
podcast for 30 seconds. 
We're going to do a charity 

503
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:11,040
appeal very quickly on on every 
podcast just because there's no 

504
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:12,680
sponsors kind of around at the 
minute. 

505
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,880
So this is this week's It's for 
the Northern Ireland Hospice. 

506
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:17,760
Times are a bit different at the
moment. 

507
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:21,640
Or one spot in the city is now 
quiet and desolate and most 

508
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,840
people are working from home. 
But people that can't work from 

509
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,560
home include the incredible 
frontline staff at the Northern 

510
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,920
Ireland Hospice and Children's 
Hospice who are working 

511
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,320
tirelessly to care for local 
people who need it most. 

512
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,160
The impact of COVID-19 has been 
devastating for the Northern 

513
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,320
Ireland Hospice. 
A lot of the fundraising events 

514
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:40,000
have been cancelled, that's why 
we're asking for your support. 

515
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,480
Northern Ireland Hospice need

516
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,240

520
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:02,560
Cheers. 
Back to the pod. 

521
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:10,360
Yeah, and I've got loads of 
loads of questions from from 

522
00:26:10,360 --> 00:26:13,880
listeners to the podcast and 
we'll get through some of them 

523
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,080
if that's OK. 
So there's great response 

524
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,080
whenever I said we were having 
you, having you on the podcast 

525
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,240
and questions. 
Yep. 

526
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,400
Phil Mccee says. 
Can I ask what Eamon's memories 

527
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,680
are of having The Rock on GMTV 
about 15 years ago? 

528
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,600
He was surprisingly sassy 
towards the People's champ. 

529
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:33,440
All in good fun though, I'm 
sure. 

530
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:37,440
So do you remember interviewing 
the rest of The Rock and was was

531
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:38,680
there a bit of a Ding Dong 
between you? 

532
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,320
Rock as in as in the film, star 
the wrestler. 

533
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,920
Boy. 
He's a very approachable fellow.

534
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,480
He's a very, he's one of these 
guys. 

535
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,640
You have this problem often with
Americans. 

536
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:57,240
They're surrounded by their 
people and that's a nightmare. 

537
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:04,080
One of them, two of them come in
recently and they, they said we 

538
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:08,880
can't seconds before going on 
air, we can't sit, I can't sit 

539
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,120
on that couch. 
I can't sit on that couch. 

540
00:27:11,120 --> 00:27:12,400
I said, why can't you sit on 
that couch? 

541
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:13,920
I can't be in this personal 
behaviour. 

542
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:15,160
I said I can't, can't sit in 
that couch. 

543
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,600
And I said why? 
And they said, they said her 

544
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:22,560
people said because she's 
allergic to certain fabrics. 

545
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,400
And the producers are all going,
oh, no one told us there was a 

546
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,200
sofa on this programme, right? 
No one told us there was a sofa 

547
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:34,280
and I'm rude and I just have 
that Ulster just just fucking 

548
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,600
sword at attitude, which is I 
woke up as what's the problem? 

549
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,480
What's the problem? 
And like, honestly, there's 

550
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,320
seconds to go on there. 
And they went well miss so and 

551
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,520
so can't sit on this couch 
because she's got allergies to 

552
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,520
various fabrics and no one told 
us to be a couch. 

553
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,520
So I'm immediately thinking, 
well, she had to sit on 

554
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:49,760
something. 
What did you think we're going 

555
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,080
to sit on? 
And I said, OK, OK, OK. 

556
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:53,800
I said, what are you allergic 
to? 

557
00:27:54,120 --> 00:27:58,760
And she said, I am allergic to 
everything except linen. 

558
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,720
I said, oh, thank God, it's your
lucky day. 

559
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,160
And she said, what? 
Why, why, why is this? 

560
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,560
And I said, because that couch 
is pure linen. 

561
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,960
I have these allergies myself. 
I have, I said, and that is 

562
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,720
flown in from Northern Ireland, 
pure Ulster linen. 

563
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:16,880
That's as I said. 
So it's so lucky. 

564
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,400
That is where I'm from. 
And you've got the same sort of 

565
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:20,560
situation. 
Come and sit down. 

566
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,360
I don't know what the couch was 
made of. 

567
00:28:22,360 --> 00:28:24,280
Not that she didn't walk away. 
It's seen there. 

568
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,160
Anything else you know? 
But they're so woke. 

569
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:28,840
Some of them are so woke in 
itself. 

570
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:32,440
She's in intensive Care now. 
She was all right. 

571
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,680
She walked out again. 
And then another guy came in and

572
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:41,680
he said, he said, he said, I'm a
representative for plastics in 

573
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,680
the ocean. 
I'm a crusader for plastics in 

574
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,760
the ocean. 
So there can't be any plastic in

575
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,280
my dressing room. 
And the producers are going, you

576
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,280
know, the TV's plastic, the door
handles are, I mean, goodness 

577
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,760
knows what's plastic? 
I said just lie. 

578
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:55,680
And they go, oh, you can't lie. 
You can't lie. 

579
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,080
And I went, hello. 
I mean, everyone. 

580
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,360
I said, see, that's a plastic 
free dressing room. 

581
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,320
And he looked and he started 
looking at some things and I 

582
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,800
said, oh, yeah. 
But you see, all of that is all 

583
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,400
stuff that we we have, which is 
biodegradable. 

584
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,640
Matter of fact, we can't even 
wash the stuff in here because 

585
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:09,720
we do. 
It melts. 

586
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,800
You know, they go right, right, 
because they're all woke, but 

587
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:17,960
they're all stupid as well. 
But people like the Rock. 

588
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,560
Lovely, lovely guy and very 
nice. 

589
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:28,520
And they're people like Tom 
Hanks, Pierce Brosnan, Robin 

590
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,600
Williams, God rest his soul, 
lovely, lovely fellow, nowheres 

591
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,640
and graces. 
There are a lot of people who 

592
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,040
you're really surprised at how 
ordinary they are. 

593
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:40,160
And the guy that plays Frazier, 
Kelsey Grammar, what a lovely 

594
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,200
guy. 
And so there's there's lots of 

595
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,520
people who you're really 
surprised, but it's the ones 

596
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:49,320
you're starting out and on their
way up who have their people and

597
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:50,720
they're surrounded by their 
people. 

598
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,960
And I reckon there's quite a lot
of this goes with Meghan Markle 

599
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,680
as well. 
I think she's got that entourage

600
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,840
from Hollywood. 
And you know, we have that same 

601
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,800
what Meghan wants, Meghan gets. 
And I'd say probably a lot of 

602
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:08,200
that emanates from her people. 
I mean that that's something I 

603
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:12,000
found in in just a small dose in
in interviewing sort of well 

604
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,000
known people and celebrities is 
that almost the higher the 

605
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,280
profile, the person, the more 
down the earth they are. 

606
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,200
Like you say, it's people that 
are coming up or people that 

607
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,720
maybe just don't have that 
profile that that compensate 

608
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,760
with like an attitude or or 
entitlement, But you actually 

609
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,080
find people that that are bona 
fide stars you. 

610
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,120
See, they, they, they think 
maybe to be a star, this is the 

611
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,800
way they have to act. 
But the thing about stardom, 

612
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:38,880
it's the most, it's the most 
ordinary concept because 

613
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,280
basically it equates to this, 
whether you're a move, whether 

614
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,880
you're on in movies, whether in 
televisions, within soaps, 

615
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:47,360
whether you're a comedian, 
whatever what it is she in it's 

616
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:51,880
longevity, it's actually just 
been there for a long time or, 

617
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,840
you know, being on telly every 
day or whatever it happens to 

618
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:56,680
be. 
That's when people accept you. 

619
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,320
It's, it's a marathon, not, not 
a Sprint. 

620
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,000
It's not about winning one race 
or one gold medal or being in 

621
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,920
the front cover or something for
one year or two years, whatever.

622
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,960
It's been able to look back at 
somebody's career and say they 

623
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,760
did that for 10 years, 20 years,
30 years. 

624
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,800
That's when you become ingrained
in the psyche off people and 

625
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:18,120
that's what they all should be 
aiming at, not peeking, but just

626
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:22,560
sort of staying there. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Way more 

627
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:26,520
questions. 
Yeah, Stevie. 

628
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,200
Stevie Henning says about the 
video. 

629
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:30,840
Ask Eamon about the video we did
together. 

630
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,520
So my one of my alter egos, Mike
McGoldrick, I interviewed you in

631
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:38,480
Ned's bar in Hollywood. 
Do I get the impression that did

632
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,720
did one of your sons maybe know 
the character and and get you to

633
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:42,840
do it? 
Is that the way it came about? 

634
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,160
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 
So. 

635
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:48,000
So I whenever, whenever you 
arrived to do it, I didn't think

636
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:50,800
of explaining the character or 
anything to you because I was 

637
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:52,720
like, listen, Eamon's obviously 
a big fan. 

638
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:58,040
So so I was chatting to you just
like this before we were 

639
00:31:58,040 --> 00:31:59,400
recording, you know, nice to 
meet you. 

640
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,000
And we're talking a little bit 
about Hollywood and the barn 

641
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,640
heads that we were recording. 
And, and then we said action. 

642
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,320
And I just obviously turned into
this, you know, north down 

643
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,320
social life. 
And I could see in your eyes 

644
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,040
during it you were going, why is
he talking like this now? 

645
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,360
But we do know people like that.
You mean, you know, McGoldrick? 

646
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,440
Mike McGoldrick is based on 
people who we all know we can 

647
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,400
identify with. 
And that's the beauty of the 

648
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,040
character that actually had. 
And I'll tell you, tell you 

649
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:28,360
something else, Shane, when you 
work and are friendly with Keith

650
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:33,400
Lemon, you know, you sit there 
and you go, is he in character? 

651
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:37,160
Is he not in character? 
And so you don't get any more 

652
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,240
crazy than that. 
I mean, he and he is, he's 

653
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,520
another lovely man. 
He's filthy, but he's a lovely 

654
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:44,640
man. 
Well, you can. 

655
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,240
I mean, you can tell that 
although, yeah, he's very 

656
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,080
eccentric, you can tell that he 
must be very, very popular 

657
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,400
because so many people like 
yourself and like the regular 

658
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,200
guests that go on it. 
You know, you're you're putting 

659
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,320
a lot of faith in him, I guess, 
on that show to to take the piss

660
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,560
but know where the line is, I 
guess takes the piss. 

661
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:02,280
You're. 
Absolutely right. 

662
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:03,080
But you know what? 
He's not? 

663
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,200
He's not nasty. 
He's not horrible. 

664
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:07,560
There's no horribleness about 
him. 

665
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,240
As I said, he's absolutely 
filthy. 

666
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,800
But he's, he leaves you aghast, 
he leaves you speechless. 

667
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:18,560
But he's, but, but you know, and
my, my approach with him is to 

668
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,200
tell him he's filthy and he 
should be taken off TV and all 

669
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:25,440
that sort of thing. 
But he's, he's a very nice man. 

670
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,000
There's a kindness about his 
humour which is which is good. 

671
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,240
I think as well you're you know,
if if you are like in his 

672
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,040
position and doing that sort of 
comedy, as long as the joke is 

673
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,360
always on on yourself. 
So he makes the joke a lot of 

674
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,040
time on himself. 
You know, he brings it back to 

675
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,160
himself. 
He makes himself look, you know,

676
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,560
look like the fool very 
tactically. 

677
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:49,120
So I think that that's great. 
Lawrence Docherty says if Eamon 

678
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,960
Holmes has a boxing match with 
MC Hammer, can we call it Holmes

679
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:53,440
under the Hammer? 
You could. 

680
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,520
Yeah, you could. 
Matter of fact, they should 

681
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,160
have. 
The big travesty in TV is they 

682
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,880
should have put me on that show.
Why am I not on that show? 

683
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:07,040
Homes under the hammer, yes, it 
makes and you and MC Hammer, you

684
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:08,280
know, sort of get the. 
Co host. 

685
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,880
I mean you need the. 
I need the work at the moment as

686
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:12,520
well. 
Yeah, you've got the Yeah. 

687
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,600
I mean, you'd have to be doing 
it virtually as well, so maybe I

688
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,280
don't know if it would work. 
You know you couldn't go to the 

689
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,760
homes, Dan. 
Dan Murphy has a little bit of a

690
00:34:20,159 --> 00:34:22,600
grey period, he says. 
Does Eamonn remember recording 

691
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,880
an episode of Songs of Praise at
his old school St Malachys? 

692
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,840
I do. 
If so, why did he lie to us kids

693
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,040
who came in to film it? 
When he said he'd give us a 

694
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,960
shout out in GMTV the next day 
we watched it. 

695
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,480
He didn't. 
A lot of unhappy St Mac lads. 

696
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,120
Is that right? 
Well, it did some malachys twice

697
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,719
actually. 
And no, it didn't. 

698
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:43,120
I did it once. 
The songs of Praise you write. 

699
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,880
It was a different programme. 
Was it the second time, I don't 

700
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:48,800
know, running orders? 
I mean, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm very 

701
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:52,679
good at remembering people and, 
and, and, and doing things like 

702
00:34:52,679 --> 00:34:54,080
that. 
Or maybe he wasn't there for the

703
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:55,719
full 3 hours of the show. 
I don't know. 

704
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,080
Maybe he got up late. 
Maybe I did it at 6:10 and he 

705
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:01,440
wasn't out of bed. 
But the other thing is, it is 

706
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,120
amazing. 
I think it's a peculiarly 

707
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:06,240
Northern Ireland thing. 
People who've been brought up on

708
00:35:06,240 --> 00:35:10,560
downtown radio, Keep it Country 
or Radio Ulster, you know, all 

709
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,280
that sort of thing and they can 
say love on the show. 

710
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,680
Please could you give a shout 
out to my wife Mary and our four

711
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:21,160
children who are all brilliant 
and super and fantastic and 

712
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,080
whatever, whatever. 
And people in Northern, I think 

713
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,640
that this is what TV programmes 
are there for. 

714
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:30,000
I think community is very, very 
important, but they actually 

715
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,560
don't get that so much in 
England. 

716
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,240
They don't get it. 
There's not, there's not a lot 

717
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,480
love of that that happens. 
Matter of fact, TV is becoming 

718
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,720
more and more impersonal. 
So they wouldn't they, they 

719
00:35:39,720 --> 00:35:41,680
rarely give people surnames 
anymore. 

720
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,560
So, so it's like this is she and
from Ireland. 

721
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,240
They wouldn't say this is she 
and Todd from Hollywood or this 

722
00:35:47,240 --> 00:35:50,720
is she and Todd from Belfast or 
Northern Ireland or whatever. 

723
00:35:50,720 --> 00:35:53,400
It'll just make it Ireland. 
You could be from Killarney, you

724
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,040
could be from Donegal, you could
be, you know. 

725
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,400
So I so the show I do in Ready 
Wolster is called the She and 

726
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,680
Todd Show. 
And normally we do eclectic 

727
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:03,640
music and features and a bit of 
chat. 

728
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:07,040
But last week we just decided to
have a big rave and play like 

729
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,040
90s dance music. 
And we've never had more 

730
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,560
interaction on the show from 
people wanting shout outs. 

731
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,960
We never get that. 
And once we started doing that, 

732
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:16,880
it just blew up. 
Like I've never. 

733
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:18,920
And as a broadcast that makes 
you feel good because you 

734
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,480
actually realise you're doing 
something, you're touching an 

735
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:23,120
audience that means something to
them. 

736
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:27,360
Because what is the point of 
doing what we do if it's not 

737
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,600
relevant to people? 
That's what I always think. 

738
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,480
If I was listening to this, I 
was watching this at home, what 

739
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:34,520
would I think? 
And is this actually useful to 

740
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,280
people in some way? 
And you're, you're invoking all 

741
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,640
those memories of all those 
people who want to rediscover 

742
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:43,160
their youth in the in the 90s. 
Can even can you now? 

743
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,360
Can we build some bridges? 
Can you now give a shout out 

744
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,960
belatedly to Dan Murphy and the 
Somalakis lads? 

745
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,760
Dan Murphy and all the lads from
Somalakis, whatever year you 

746
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:55,040
were, I think that was, I think 
it was early 90s. 

747
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,320
We did that, we did that 
particular show. 

748
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:02,720
But yeah, I, I an absolute 
credit and always lovely to be 

749
00:37:02,720 --> 00:37:04,680
asked to go back to your old 
school. 

750
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,040
It took them a while. 
Used to be asking back to 

751
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,320
everybody else's old school 
schools and never went to of 

752
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:13,240
course, but but now, yeah, I'd 
do anything for some malachies 

753
00:37:13,240 --> 00:37:18,360
and it's it's meant a lot to me.
And you know, the, I suppose the

754
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,840
person I am today is because I 
went to that school. 

755
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:24,560
So to all the guys at Saint Max.
Nice. 

756
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,440
A bit of applause as well. 
Great to see, Claire Moore says.

757
00:37:27,720 --> 00:37:30,240
What is he most proud of that 
has come out of Northern 

758
00:37:30,240 --> 00:37:32,240
Ireland? 
So I guess I'll extend that a 

759
00:37:32,240 --> 00:37:38,880
bit and ask you in the last say 
decade, is there anything that 

760
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:42,760
that's happened here or whether 
it's ATV programme or or a 

761
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:46,280
Sports Personality, is there 
anyone you're extremely proud to

762
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:49,520
say that person or or that thing
is from where I'm from? 

763
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,880
I I think in my day-to-day. 
Sorry, don't say me or I'll be 

764
00:37:54,880 --> 00:38:00,240
embarrassed. 
Besides you, Shane, besides you.

765
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:06,800
I think that in my day-to-day 
work, when I always hear that, I

766
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,800
always say to people, people 
don't say to me, hi, Yemen, I'm 

767
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,080
from Enniskillen. 
Hi, Yemen, I'm from Mahara. 

768
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,160
Whatever. 
They just talk and I say, where 

769
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:15,280
are you from? 
Where are you from? 

770
00:38:15,720 --> 00:38:17,600
And then they tell me and then I
get sort of quite art. 

771
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:19,320
They haven't told me. 
They're they're one of us. 

772
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,240
So they're they're, they're. 
And then and, and so I'm always 

773
00:38:22,240 --> 00:38:26,240
proud of people who make it. 
I'm always proud that how we as 

774
00:38:26,240 --> 00:38:29,520
a country punch above our weight
immensely. 

775
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:33,720
You know, people who lead 
orchestras, people who are head 

776
00:38:33,720 --> 00:38:36,440
of engineering at various 
places, people who built 

777
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:39,360
Britain, people who people who 
you don't hear about, you only 

778
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,840
hear about, you know, people 
like me and Zoe Salmon and Rory 

779
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:48,680
McIlroy and you know, or 
whatever, and people who we 

780
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:50,360
educate people to very high 
standard. 

781
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:52,480
I think we all have a chip on 
our shoulder as well, which 

782
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:55,720
means that we, we think we're 
hard done by and, and, and we're

783
00:38:55,720 --> 00:38:59,400
quite well driven, but there's 
so many places you, you, you 

784
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,680
realise this is a great thing 
for us to have. 

785
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:03,040
It's a great thing for us to 
have. 

786
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,880
But a lot of people from other 
parts of England have a much 

787
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:09,640
worse than us, much worse than 
us. 

788
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:13,000
And they're not as driven as us 
because there is she and is 

789
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:17,440
there not something about us 
that thinks we'll show them or 

790
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:19,280
the cards are stacked against 
us? 

791
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,480
Because I just think we are 
disproportionate. 

792
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:27,760
We have got people in all walks 
of life disproportionate to a 

793
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:32,160
million and a half population. 
Absolutely. 

794
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:36,680
And I think you, you can because
of the geography of it as well. 

795
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,640
So if you're, if you're an 
aspiring boxer and you see Carl 

796
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,480
Frampton doing what he's doing, 
that's a person who could 

797
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,280
potentially be brought up a mile
from where you've where you were

798
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,360
from or, or maybe it was 50 
miles, you know, something like 

799
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:49,080
that. 
So there is. 

800
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,480
The car car was from. 
Tigers Bay. 

801
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,560
Tigers Bay, yeah. 
And, and I used to walk through 

802
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,240
Tigers Bay or in those days 
around Tigers Bay to get to 

803
00:39:57,240 --> 00:40:01,760
school. 
And it turns out Carl is married

804
00:40:02,240 --> 00:40:06,520
to. 
To a girl who is the daughter of

805
00:40:06,720 --> 00:40:09,440
a second cousin of mine. 
So everybody. 

806
00:40:09,720 --> 00:40:11,600
So that's how small a village it
is. 

807
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:13,720
For us, yeah. 
I mean, back home, there isn't 

808
00:40:13,720 --> 00:40:16,320
6° of separation. 
It's, it's three, you know what 

809
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,680
I mean? 
It's three or usually one. 

810
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,760
And it's because you know your 
uncle played five aside with the

811
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:23,440
person in question. 
Yes. 

812
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:27,160
Owen McMahon says Is Alan 
Partridge really as good a 

813
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:30,960
friend as he says he is? 
No, I used to. 

814
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,000
I used to like the Alan 
Partridge character. 

815
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,960
Not, not so sure now. 
I don't only ever hear him 

816
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:41,640
saying bad things about me, but 
so I don't know the friend 

817
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:44,600
business, but it sort of annoys 
me when people think that 

818
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:48,800
Partridge is based on me because
he's the antithesis of what I 

819
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:51,160
would be. 
We all know who he is based on. 

820
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,640
Yes, he's a composite of 
probably two other presenters, 

821
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:58,600
but The thing is, if I say who 
those two other presenters are, 

822
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:02,200
then the rest of the click bait 
media will all go. 

823
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,000
I could do with the podcast you 
used to say it. 

824
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:08,840
No, I'm not saying it. 
No, I think we do. 

825
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:12,840
I think people that that know 
that character well know know 

826
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:15,000
know know exactly exactly who 
you mean. 

827
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:16,840
But but he's, he's well 
researched from the point of 

828
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:18,600
view that the characters do 
exist. 

829
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:20,520
The characters absolutely do 
exist. 

830
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:21,920
Yeah. 
That that who he becomes? 

831
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:25,040
Yeah. 
So a little more questions. 

832
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:28,160
This isn't a question, but Becky
Allen just says I love his wife.

833
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,320
You know, not a question, more 
of a statement, Becky. 

834
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,880
You should live with her, see 
how much you love her. 

835
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,600
That's very nice. 
You see, Shane, I used to be 

836
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:38,240
Eamonn, I used to be, there's 
Eamonn Holmes. 

837
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:42,680
Now I go home and I just need a 
sign round my neck which says 

838
00:41:43,240 --> 00:41:47,240
Ruth is not with me because as 
soon as I go home, the first 

839
00:41:47,240 --> 00:41:49,320
question to me isn't hello 
women, how are you? 

840
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,920
Whatever it is, Ruth not with 
you, Ruth not with you. 

841
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:55,120
That's all. 
So it's just that question, Ruth

842
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:56,800
not with you. 
Felix saying does it look as if 

843
00:41:56,800 --> 00:42:02,000
Ruth said no, she's not with me,
she's not with me and no, So 

844
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:04,440
yes. 
So I'm not aiming and Ruth, or 

845
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:09,360
probably Ruth and Eamon, really.
You, Moses, and this is a big 

846
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,680
one. 
Honest opinion on Ice T. 

847
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:16,840
Iced tea. 
Iced tea, you don't really, I 

848
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:18,560
don't really see. 
The point of it really, I've 

849
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:23,480
tried it a few times and I think
you have a soft drink, you have 

850
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:25,480
a cup of tea. 
I'm not really sure. 

851
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:27,880
The iced tea business in 
between. 

852
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:31,360
I have tried it, I've tried to 
like it, but no, I don't know. 

853
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:36,160
This is a question from Johnny 
Bull who says most famous person

854
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:39,640
on your phone. 
Probably Alex Ferguson. 

855
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:43,560
Probably. 
Probably. 

856
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:47,600
I'm trying to think it surprises
sometimes you've you've numbers 

857
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,720
in there and you you forget that
they're they're there. 

858
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:56,600
But Olly Murs is in there. 
Oh yeah. 

859
00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:02,240
Yeah, Who else is in there? 
There's there's quite a lot of 

860
00:43:02,240 --> 00:43:05,920
people, but, you know, but I 
mean, I suppose in terms of fame

861
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:10,320
and fame at the moment, Sir 
Alex, Yeah, probably. 

862
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:12,680
Let's go. 
Let's stay on the football theme

863
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:16,160
from a final question, which is 
from Dylan O'Neill, who says and

864
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:17,440
I'm, I'm a Man United fan as 
well. 

865
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:18,600
I don't know if you can see the 
scar. 

866
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:20,080
Yes. 
Very good, very good. 

867
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:24,040
From the I think 9394 season. 
But then there's. 

868
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:26,320
All those bits I'm trying to 
point out. 

869
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:28,680
What's your what's your number 
one bit of memorabilia in the 

870
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:30,240
background? 
What's my number? 

871
00:43:30,240 --> 00:43:30,720
What? 
Where? 

872
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,360
Your number one bit of 
memorabilia in the background 

873
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:35,880
there. 
Well, there's some graphs from 

874
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:40,640
the new camp Barcelona from the 
from the 99 match. 

875
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,680
There is there's a pair not in 
this room, but I've got a pair 

876
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:50,400
of Ryan Giggs, his boots. 
I've got Eric Cantina's Return 

877
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:54,760
of the Magnificent 7 shirt. 
I would have loved to have had a

878
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:59,040
George Best shirt or Northern 
Ireland shirt or something like 

879
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:03,400
that, you know, But no, I've got
that. 

880
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:06,600
So, so I suppose those are the, 
those are the main bits. 

881
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:13,080
What I do have of a room 
upstairs and I saw this at, at 

882
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:18,920
the Manchester United offices in
London and they have manaquins 

883
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:21,800
off or mannequins, you know, 
hairless mannequins. 

884
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:24,480
So they have various kits on 
them. 

885
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:28,720
And I thought that looks good. 
So I've got 4 mannequins and a 

886
00:44:28,720 --> 00:44:31,560
room I have upstairs where I 
watch football and they have 

887
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:35,000
different kits on the different 
United kits on them. 

888
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:37,960
Thinks it's creepy and doesn't 
want, doesn't go into the room. 

889
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,240
Sometimes they fall asleep and 
wake up and I think who's that 

890
00:44:40,240 --> 00:44:43,560
in the corner? 
But yeah, that looks well. 

891
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,320
I'm a huge fan of old Man United
shirts. 

892
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:50,440
I got about 3 last year and 
we're talking mid to late 90s 

893
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:53,280
shirts. 
And the only thing is I don't 

894
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,440
wear them as much anymore. 
I stopped wearing football 

895
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,320
shirts day-to-day about 3-4 
years ago. 

896
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:01,440
I just thought I just have to 
wear, you know, normal type 

897
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:03,240
clothes now. 
But I think there's lockdown 

898
00:45:03,240 --> 00:45:05,920
might be the perfect opportunity
to just get the get the football

899
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:08,760
shirts on. 
So the last question given a 

900
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:11,200
football later from Dylan 
O'Neill is tops. 

901
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:13,880
A question for you both. 
Top three Man United players of 

902
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:18,320
all time. 
Well, I would do Oh, that's that

903
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:19,200
that's different. 
Course. 

904
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:22,400
It's so difficult course it's so
difficult of all time. 

905
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:27,240
Certainly the ones that I that I
have seen, right. 

906
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:34,600
I would put it like this. 
I would say I know, I know two 

907
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:37,240
straight away, right. 
It's getting the. 

908
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:44,520
It's getting the the other one. 
Oh, such a hard question. 

909
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:47,840
OK, right, let's say. 
I've got my 3 so I'm ready for 

910
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:55,040
yours and we can compare. 
This is very difficult because I

911
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:58,160
feel like I want to have done a 
Sloan ball be chanting in there.

912
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:03,880
I feel that I'm going to go for 
somebody more modern, and Peter 

913
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,080
Schmeichel ranks up there big 
time for me. 

914
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:11,000
Ryan Giggs ranks massively. 
But the guy who we've missed an 

915
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:17,560
awful lot, midfield maestro Paul
Schools right at #3 at #2 

916
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:23,600
without a doubt, Without a doubt
the most amazing catalyst of the

917
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:28,840
modern era, Eric Cantona. 
And just an absolute privilege 

918
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:35,000
to have watched him play. 
And at #1 whether it's with 

919
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:39,400
retrospect or what, But you 
know, when I was 9/10/11 12:13 

920
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:42,000
whether in the United shirt or 
Northern Ireland shirt, there's 

921
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:46,360
just George was magic, magic. 
So George Best, SO schoolsy 

922
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:51,360
Cantona and George Boyd #1. 
So my top three is totally 

923
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:55,320
different. 
Yeah, at #3 yeah, I'm going with

924
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:59,160
Cristiano Ronaldo. 
Yes, yes, of course, yeah. 

925
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:03,960
At #2 somebody that wouldn't be 
in most people's even top 10. 

926
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:08,120
But I just, I just think he was 
8-9 out of 10 every game. 

927
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:10,600
Rio Ferdinand #2 for me. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

928
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:13,320
Good, good considered selection 
there. 

929
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:14,880
Yeah. 
No, I because, you know, 

930
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:16,280
defenders don't get enough 
credit. 

931
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:17,960
And you're absolutely right. 
Absolutely. 

932
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,960
Player of the year awards, all 
that kind of thing #1 Roy Keane 

933
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:23,640
for me. 
Yeah, no, well, can't. 

934
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:26,080
Can't argue either mate. 
Can't argue. 

935
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:29,000
They're good selection. 
Good selection. 

936
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:30,720
Get out, get Alex Ferguson on. 
Will do. 

937
00:47:30,720 --> 00:47:31,520
Will do. 
House party. 

938
00:47:33,240 --> 00:47:36,520
Good point. 
You Alex Ferguson and Olly Murs.

939
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:40,640
We'll get a few cans, isn't? 
Roy Keane, a brilliant 

940
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:42,640
summarizer. 
Don't you just love watching him

941
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:46,040
because he's out-of-the-box and 
he just says it and he obviously

942
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:48,640
has no mates in football so he 
doesn't care? 

943
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:52,760
What I enjoy is he makes other 
people not know what to say and 

944
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:56,520
I always enjoy that, you know, 
but but his his punditry 

945
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:58,760
whenever you get like him Carrig
or you know, and they really 

946
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:01,520
stir the pot with the pundits. 
You know, they know who's who's 

947
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:04,400
going to clash with whose 
opinions and I I think he's a 

948
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:07,200
great card. 
Sometimes I think he takes the 

949
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:10,000
troll on like maybe a little bit
too far where I'm like, all 

950
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,600
right, Roy, I know you're doing 
this for a fact, but whenever he

951
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:16,000
whenever he is just you know, 
he's got those like shark eyes, 

952
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:19,840
you know, just the no emotion on
his face and he. 

953
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:23,680
I wouldn't have wanted to have 
played with them or under him. 

954
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:25,760
I don't, you know, I don't think
I'd want him as my boss. 

955
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:29,920
But I mean he's a brilliant, 
brilliant pundit and as you say,

956
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:34,760
an absolute superb player. 
Probably, you know, when you 

957
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:38,200
look, if you were to do a debate
about best captain Man United 

958
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:41,960
ever had, a most influential 
captain, you know, it could win 

959
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:45,160
me as controversial, you know, 
whether him, Brian Robson, Bobby

960
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:48,680
Charlton, whatever. 
But but you know Keno would take

961
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:50,560
some denying. 
Probably the best captain we've 

962
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:52,880
ever had. 
Let me, let me ask you this last

963
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:54,200
thing before, before we wrap it 
up. 

964
00:48:54,720 --> 00:48:57,720
What's the number one thing 
whenever you come back to 

965
00:48:57,720 --> 00:49:00,920
Northern Ireland that you seek 
out or that you go and do? 

966
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:04,240
Do you have like a ritual or is 
it, is there, is there something

967
00:49:04,240 --> 00:49:05,600
you can't wait to do as soon as 
you get home? 

968
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:09,600
Yes, go round to Bennett's on 
the Hollywood Road and have a 

969
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:11,520
fry. 
And it is. 

970
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:15,360
Bennett's is a spot I only 
discovered last month. 

971
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:17,640
I went to see River Dance with 
my mum and we went to school. 

972
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:19,560
We shouldn't really tell people 
about it, We shouldn't really 

973
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:21,320
tell people about it. 
Just just go in there. 

974
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:25,120
You get a very good Ulster fry. 
Our fact when Ruthie comes, 

975
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:28,960
that's what she wants. 
She just loves loves the Big Fry

976
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:30,840
and Bennett's. 
All right, we'll have to check 

977
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:33,880
it out for a fry. 
Eamon, thanks so much for for 

978
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:35,120
doing the podcast. 
I really appreciate. 

979
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:37,800
It thank you my friend. 
Really appreciate it and. 

980
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:40,480
Stay safe and well, you and 
everybody listening. 

981
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:44,200
Yep, Yep, scary times. 
Same to yourself, scary times. 

982
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:47,480
And we're just going to drink a 
lot of tea to get it to get us 

983
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:49,880
through it with two 2 1/2 
sugars. 

984
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:51,040
Eamonn. 
Cheers mate. 

985
00:49:51,240 --> 00:50:01,700
Thank you very much. 
Cheers shippers. 

986
00:50:01,700 --> 00:50:03,980
There we have at the Eamonn 
Holmes episode of the Tea With 

987
00:50:03,980 --> 00:50:05,780
Me podcast. 
I'm sure we'll all agree. 

988
00:50:06,100 --> 00:50:09,260
What a guy, what a guy. 
Fantastic sense of humour. 

989
00:50:09,780 --> 00:50:12,180
Pretty deprecating about himself
as well. 

990
00:50:12,340 --> 00:50:15,960
Knowledgeable, wise, physically 
attractive. 

991
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:19,280
OK, so that was the Eamon Holmes
episode of Tea With Me. 

992
00:50:19,720 --> 00:50:22,800
Honestly, the guests in the next
couple of weeks that have kindly

993
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:25,680
agreed to do the podcast are 
amazing. 

994
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:30,280
It's a real mix of people from 
the world of comedy, acting, 

995
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:33,640
sport, that kind of thing. 
But I'd love to hear from yous 

996
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:37,400
if there's guests that you would
like me to try and get because 

997
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:39,480
we're just, we're just speaking 
to everybody at the minute. 

998
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:42,200
And I'm asking the question, you
know, what's the worst that's 

999
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:44,080
going to happen? 
Another restraining order 

1000
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:46,440
possibly. 
But you know, I'm putting the 

1001
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:48,440
question out there and nobody's 
really said no. 

1002
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:50,960
So let's just enjoy that while 
at last, you know why we're able

1003
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:53,680
to get good guests. 
So if, if there's a guest you'd 

1004
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:55,000
like me to get, you can tell me 
on 

1005
00:50:55,000 --> 00:51:05,240

So that's not a Hotmail account,

1006
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:08,720
all right, And I don't know why 
I turned 75 years old there, but

1007
00:51:08,720 --> 00:51:12,520
twasmepodcast@gmail.com, I think
that's what it is. 

1008
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:15,280
Oh, God. 
Look, don't worry about it. 

1009
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:17,120
But I think that's it. 
Let me know what guess you'd 

1010
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:19,920
like to see in the podcast and I
will do my damn just to get them

1011
