And then I thought it was maybe 37 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,600 disrespectful to talk about, you know, shaving pubes before I 38 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,600 bring them on. But either way, here he is. 39 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:01,520 This should work. Hang on. 40 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:02,680 Hold on. Now. 41 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,320 He's coming out of the waiting room. 42 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,200 Oh, he's straight out of the waiting room. 43 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:11,120 And in the thought, ladies and gentlemen, it's Mark McCartney. 44 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:16,760 Mark, my first question I ask all guests is do you drink tea? 45 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,920 How much tea do you drink? And just talk to me a little bit 46 00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:22,360 about your relationship with the sweet stuff. 47 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:29,360 Yeah, like Adapted would be like, there's tea there I got 48 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,880 for this podcast and it's done. No, we drink a serious amount 49 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,120 the tea here in the Mccarney household. 50 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,880 Now let's talk about what constitutes a serious amount, 51 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:42,400 because there's days where I think I would drink 9 or 10 cups 52 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,440 and that's not often, but I'd say it happens. 53 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,240 Are you telling me there's a level above or does that sound? 54 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,320 About them's amateur levels, that's amateur numbers, that 55 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,240 there's all I'd say the kettle's always boiled. 56 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,840 Here in a in a full size cup. Not a mug. 57 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,880 Smaller cup. Well, because here's what I'm 58 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,520 saying. What you're drinking with it, 59 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:03,880 like look at this, the size of this. 60 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,960 Well, that's that. Well, that that's a starter. 61 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,280 That's just to get me prepped. And a pair of teeth. 62 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,960 Excellent for the name, of course you know. 63 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,800 Right, Yeah. You see, I actually, whenever I 64 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,640 was getting ready to record this episode, I was like, let's ask 65 00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:23,600 Mark a few things. I actually don't know a lot 66 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,920 about Mark McCartney. Not as a stand up, if you know 67 00:03:26,920 --> 00:03:28,320 what I mean. Like as a guy, like, there's a 68 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,440 lot of stuff I would presume about you. 69 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,920 Like, I would presume, and this is based on nothing, that you're 70 00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:37,040 a man who really enjoys a bath. Like I could definitely see you 71 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:42,400 having like a late afternoon bath and really, really no 72 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,200 bubble bath. See, I'd like the people don't 73 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,600 know a lot about me. I owe a lot of people money so I 74 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:55,960 like to keep it like the low. But if people are wondering 75 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,040 about baths, that's all they're worried about. 76 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:04,800 We actually ripped the bath out last year and I have said I do 77 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,400 miss it. I sometimes sit in bed at night 78 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,400 thinking I'd love a wee bath. Could I am not? 79 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,320 See you in a bath. Yeah, I could see you in a bath 80 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,079 with like a a board across it. You know what I mean? 81 00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:18,120 Like, I don't I don't think you're just in and out of the 82 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,040 bath. I could see you with like I 83 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,720 think I'm. Like a geriatric bath, you need 84 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,240 a board. You get myself up. 85 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:32,080 A cup of tea and you know those old portable TV's and we colour 86 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:33,640 TV with a wee kickstand behind it. 87 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,680 I could see, I could see you in there having the time of it for 88 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:37,480 sure. I did. 89 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,720 Yeah. Well, I used to be. 90 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:45,840 Secretly the doll would have like candles sometimes if I was 91 00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:51,360 in the mood, I would like them. But as far as a board and ATV, 92 00:04:52,520 --> 00:05:00,360 no, no, I just would have sat in my own Stew, talk it all in a 93 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,840 good day's work, you know. So there's nothing more, there's 94 00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:10,480 nothing more psychopathic than the idea of somebody just being 95 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,840 in a bath. Like you have to have, you have 96 00:05:12,840 --> 00:05:16,240 to have something to accompany, you got to have music on, you've 97 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,160 got a you've got to be reading, maybe you got to be doing 98 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,640 something. But just that terrifies me. 99 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:26,320 The idea that if I could one day stumble upon you, like one day 100 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,440 maybe say we're doing a tour, say we're off on tour together 101 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,560 and some far-flung place like for example, I don't know, 102 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,080 Vienna. And imagine I like I'm looking 103 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,920 for you in the hotel and I open a door and if I honestly, I'm 104 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,040 just letting you know this right now, if I found you just sitting 105 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,640 in a bath looking back at me, that would be the end of the 106 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,960 tour. See I'd be worried what kind of 107 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:52,920 fan base would have in Vienna more than why it'd be why I'm in 108 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,400 a bath and she and Todd after walking in. 109 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,840 You're very overthinking a lot of most people. 110 00:05:58,840 --> 00:06:01,560 I've never thought of anyone in a bath bar myself. 111 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,560 Yeah, that's the number one thing I think about with you is 112 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,800 is you know, could definitely like if I don't see you at a 113 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,280 comedy club, I. Can tell quarantine stuck its 114 00:06:10,280 --> 00:06:12,200 toll and usually. He'll be in a bath. 115 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,120 Yeah, not just my hair. I don't just have fucking 90s 116 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,720 boy band hair, are you? Trying to say I look smelly or 117 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,520 something that every time you see me you're like, yeah, that 118 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,360 guy's gonna go. I'm saying I'm saying the 119 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,360 opposite. I'm saying you look like a man 120 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,640 who would have a nice imperial lather about him. 121 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,400 Yeah, Imperial that. It used to be the stuff. 122 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,400 Imperial Lather. It was the stuff until whenever 123 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,240 you used it and then the wheel Imperial lather label came off 124 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:41,640 it. That was always a sad time. 125 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,920 You know what I mean? Like whenever you whenever you 126 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,440 really wore it down, like, I mean, I'll be honest, I haven't 127 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,320 used just a traditional bar of soap. 128 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,920 You could be talking 15 years. It's all the gels now. 129 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:58,240 It's the gels now. So you're just too rich. 130 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,080 That's for all I know. We're. 131 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,080 Just you know, we have to do with the bar soap, but you and 132 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,840 then why your brush? Sometimes I guess that is the 133 00:07:06,840 --> 00:07:08,560 best way. I think the stand up says do I 134 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,080 think there would be a bath or a short person you know, and, and 135 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,680 yeah, I'd say you're 100% a bath guy. 136 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,040 But I wouldn't. I don't usually you. 137 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:21,680 I didn't go to bath to bath, it was more to relax. 138 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,400 Right, right, right. If I needed a shower, it was a 139 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,640 quick wash shower. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 140 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:31,800 But usually the rain just does me if I walk out, you know? 141 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,480 Yeah, like over over breakfast you just put a bit of shower gel 142 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,360 on and just wait for the day to take care of it. 143 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,520 Not even, I just rub up against the low three or something. 144 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:47,440 Got to be a bit of that muscle. What have you, I mean, we have a 145 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,560 there's we're, we're members of a WhatsApp group that, you know, 146 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,160 there's, there's, there's quite a few other other stand ups in. 147 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,880 And I mean, there is also going to be other stand ups watching 148 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,600 listen to this going on for fuck's sake. 149 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:04,200 But I mean, there was very good chat in it at the start of 150 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,680 lockdown and everybody was like, you know, we'll chat about gigs 151 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,000 and have you been writing and there was a lot of comedy chat. 152 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,800 And now I would say it, I would describe it as a desolate, 153 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:17,320 barren landscape, you know, of just guys that have really run 154 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:18,560 out of things to sort of talk about. 155 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,760 Like there was a quiz for a while, which was good crack. 156 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,920 And then that's kind of that's kind of died off. 157 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,360 And it's weird because when we all don't have stand up to talk 158 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,520 about, you find out that we don't know each other at all. 159 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:37,559 I believe and I found like even like friends I grew up with, I 160 00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:42,360 kind of hadn't really been talking to them like I talk 161 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,040 quarantine very seriously. I have to stop speaking to 162 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,320 everybody yeah because. And so I. 163 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,040 Expected to see you out and about a lot more and I was like, 164 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:55,280 you know, I'm expecting to see, you know, you being busy and 165 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:59,440 doing a lot of stuff. And then then I think, I presume 166 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:00,440 that you just went the other way. 167 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,120 I was like, McCartney's gone the ground here. 168 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:06,240 You know, I think you have. I would be surprised if you'd 169 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:10,240 used the last year to really develop stand up, but then also 170 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:14,160 build some sort of underground bunker, you know. 171 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,200 And I, I like that idea. I mean, I like the idea of you 172 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:18,880 in a bath in the underground bunker. 173 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:25,720 Yeah, yeah, no, Well, I did. I, I had something planned, 174 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:30,880 something to shoot like video wise, and then lockdown happened 175 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,000 and I kind of I couldn't do any of it. 176 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,680 So then I was kind of like, I really, I was kind of invested 177 00:09:37,680 --> 00:09:39,040 in doing it. And I was kind of like, yes, 178 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,800 until I can do this. Yeah. 179 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,480 And so everyone was like, why are you not going to? 180 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,320 Because like, and then they couldn't really go out. 181 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,720 You know, I kind of felt like if I go because my stuff, I don't 182 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,680 do it like much at home, I'm usually away. 183 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,560 So it's like if I'm doing something stupid and a cop lands 184 00:09:56,560 --> 00:09:57,760 would save me. Define me? 185 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:02,040 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you, do you not shoot around 186 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:06,960 home because people know you like friends, family or whatever 187 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,920 and you get a bit awkward about it or how come? 188 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:16,640 'Cause that depends whatever depends that at the start, at 189 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,160 the start everyone is like, what the fuck is that guy doing? 190 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,880 But now the no, they're like, you know what I mean? 191 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,440 And they kind of want to be in it half of them. 192 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,200 What do you? What, what do you like with with 193 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,760 filming in public and has that sort of has that sort of 194 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,280 changed? Because I'd say most people 195 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,920 like, if you're in the like stand up here and all that kind 196 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:44,440 of thing, will 100% know your videos, which, you know, I think 197 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:48,840 are like the most original thing to come around for a long, long 198 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,240 time. I think the video you did last 199 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:55,720 week or the week before the, the, the bog thing was, was 10 200 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,840 out of 10. Really, really enjoyed that. 201 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:03,480 But then with filming around kind of where you live, I've 202 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,600 I've got really, I used to be way worse with that. 203 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,200 I couldn't think about filming in like a 10 mile radius where I 204 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:11,960 lived. If anyone saw me while I was out 205 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:13,840 filming, I got really embarrassed. 206 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,800 But I've got better at that as it went along. 207 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,480 But do you not find that? Like do you not find that so 208 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,760 quickly? You can do weird things to have 209 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,320 people watch it and just it just feels totally normal. 210 00:11:26,560 --> 00:11:29,480 No, I'm pretty comfortable with embarrassing myself. 211 00:11:29,680 --> 00:11:34,320 It's quite a skill. It's it is better though at the 212 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:39,120 start, I think, because like now if you go into like sort of like 213 00:11:40,680 --> 00:11:44,320 the no, whereas before the didn't. 214 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,840 So if you have got like somebody's reaction or 215 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,080 something, it's pretty like what the fuck's going on with where's 216 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,040 the no, you're taking the piss. It's not as like I don't have 217 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,000 many people in it, but no, I don't. 218 00:11:56,560 --> 00:11:59,160 I don't really think about it. I just if it's something that I 219 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:03,960 want to do, I can't figure it out and go ahead a little like I 220 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,640 don't really, but it's funny like it, it wouldn't bother me 221 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,160 much on camera, but these then when the cameras died and 222 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:11,920 somebody come up to me and be like, oh Jesus. 223 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:13,360 What's gonna happen? Yeah. 224 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,520 Yeah. Yeah. 225 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,480 But now apart from that. Chat to me about and I and I 226 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,920 don't know this about how you like you got into all this 227 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:27,920 because you like myself sort of do stand up and videos as well. 228 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:34,440 And I, I mean, I remember hearing about you doing stand 229 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,040 up. I remember some people like I, 230 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,320 I'd maybe missed the laveries. I'd normally be at most 231 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,360 laveries. And I think I missed 1. 232 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,680 And it was Colin or Mickey or someone said to me, like, 233 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,280 there's this new guy. Like I love hearing about new 234 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,160 people that are doing stand up and that are good. 235 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,960 And it was like, you gotta watch this for my Connie kid. 236 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,400 He's, he's got something. And, and I said, right. 237 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,720 And then I think it's in your videos. 238 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,920 It was actually a while before I saw you do stand up. 239 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,800 And I already, I already knew you just from comedy clubs and 240 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:05,440 your videos. So how did you actually get into 241 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,960 like video making and stand up and that kind of thing? 242 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,880 Well, I always, it's funny because my life was kind of like 243 00:13:14,680 --> 00:13:19,000 whenever I was like 1718, I remember going, I think I seen, 244 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,920 I think there's Tom right here. And then we went to go see and 245 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:27,280 the main go on. That is incredible. 246 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,880 And I mean, getting his DVD, his first one, and just watching it 247 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,160 over and over and over. And I was attacked at the time 248 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,760 and I remember just being fed up with it. 249 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,960 I was like, I can't really bother with this shit anymore. 250 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,360 I remember engineering. Right. 251 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:48,400 To an engineer like me, and I remember the guerrillas with 252 00:13:48,680 --> 00:13:50,760 going with the time. I remember we went out for 253 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,480 pizza. I think sender like I'm fed up 254 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,280 with this shit. I think I'm going to quit all 255 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,400 and become a stand up and she's like, I think it's the most 256 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:03,400 laugh I've ever got to date. Like there's a hearty fucking 257 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,640 laugh like, but the absolute thing like this was a time to 258 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:10,120 this is like looking back, it was a mental thing to say 259 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:14,800 because you hadn't started at that time or making There was no 260 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:19,320 the only scene here at that time was Patty guilty and Jake O 261 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,720 Kane. So the notion of the likes of me 262 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:27,360 walking up to the empire, who was it was, didn't exist. 263 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,080 So after a while, they kind of like, yeah, those things sort of 264 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,200 stupid. So I kind of just put it to one 265 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:37,920 side and just went on with life and still went to gigs and loved 266 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,840 it and was doing videos just for the crack in the weekends and 267 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,800 stuff. And then I had a midlife crisis 268 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,640 about 26. And I just said fuck this and 269 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,080 quit everything and just said I'm just going to try this new 270 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,320 and go for it and see what happens. 271 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:57,800 So like I have no like I have no credibility. 272 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,280 I've never done laveries. I've never done anything. 273 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,840 The pav was the only one I've done and I just quit my whole 274 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:09,480 job and just went for it. And I have to say I quit in 275 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:14,440 April and I've done the first parish and no one in the in June 276 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,680 and I just went on from then. It just. 277 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:23,880 I think one of the best things you can do is have the balls to 278 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:28,600 take your own safety net away. Because if, if you always have 279 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,040 something to fall back on, you're never really going to 280 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,600 succeed because you don't, you don't have to succeed. 281 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,840 I want to say succeed. I mean, just be in a position 282 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,160 where you know, you're getting paid to do things and and you're 283 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:45,480 enjoying it, but it's the the time where you will you make 284 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,640 that decision and go like, fuck it, this is it. 285 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,680 You, you do yourself such a big favour in that moment because 286 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:59,560 you, you, the, the, the, it's so terrifying to just be like, I'm 287 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,480 going to go and do this thing that chances are you don't know 288 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,640 anybody at that stage who's really doing it. 289 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,640 And, and it and on what is being a full time stand up. 290 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:13,480 It's not like you know engineering for example, you 291 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:17,720 know you live in County Tyrone, you're never you're never 5 foot 292 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,600 from an engineer. Like you can always speak to an 293 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,240 engineer. Whereas how can you go and speak 294 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,400 to a stand up for advice on career path? 295 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:30,000 Yeah, 'cause like growing up stand ups to me was, you know, 296 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,840 Tommy's hearing or Billy Connolly and you're just like, 297 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,080 Oh well, I'm gay. Robbers just born stand ups and 298 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,960 they just just went out of school and got on the stage. 299 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:43,160 It is a funny 'cause it's no, there's no set career path and 300 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,200 stand up. And it changes. 301 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:46,880 Great. Yeah. 302 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,280 Like, and what I've come to learn is that you kind of make 303 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,600 it yourself in a way. You have to go. 304 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,200 But remember, you remember one thing you said to me. 305 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,560 I think it was in the first charity gig we'd done in 306 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:03,240 Limelight and all of us, and I mean, Sean Haggerty come over to 307 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:04,280 me.

Completely the wrong way then. 318 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,120 No, he was supposed to be in between Mickey and Connor. 319 00:17:38,120 --> 00:17:39,480 Keys.

Back to the pause. 360 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,560 True story. I was backstage at a gig in 361 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,600 Queen's Uni when Queen's Comedy Club was on. 362 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,400 And that's one that I'm sad for you that you never got to play. 363 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,640 And so many people that are relatively new to stand up never 364 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,320 got to play because there was a period for a while, like not 365 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,360 towards the end, but there was a period for a while when it was 366 00:19:57,360 --> 00:20:02,440 the best gig here anyway. But Plan B had played the night 367 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,920 before in Mandela Hall and he'd left. 368 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,760 This was. This was when he was bringing 369 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:09,880 out that album, The defamation of Strickland Banks. 370 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,720 So he was well known, but he wasn't like that was an album 371 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,920 everybody had. So he was wearing the suit on 372 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,040 stage and it was the time of the ash cloud. 373 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,640 So there was some problem where they couldn't bring all his 374 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:27,640 costumes back to England. So they left a suitcase of his 375 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,440 clothes and it was backstage at Mandel Hall when we were doing 376 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,560 Queens Comedy Club and someone stupidly told us they were like 377 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,600 that's Plan B's like stage costume. 378 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,880 And before they finished the sentence I was fully dressed as 379 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,120 Plan B just backstage. And I went out and did my set 380 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,120 dressed up in Plan B's three piece suit and just didn't 381 00:20:45,120 --> 00:20:46,760 address it at any box. He said nothing. 382 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,200 And stole. I stole one of his ties. 383 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:50,800 It was. I wish I'd kept it. 384 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,880 It was a reversible Fen Church tie. 385 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:58,040 Was not hanging off you. No, at this stage he dropped the 386 00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,760 weight. You see him. 387 00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:02,320 You see him recently. As you put it back on. 388 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,240 Funny I whatever notion I talk a while ago. 389 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,280 Is it? Whatever happened to Plan B? 390 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,560 That's such lockdown. That's such lockdown. 391 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,320 Thoughts. And it is true actually. 392 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:16,000 It's actually Fortnite. Go on a Google and he's like, he 393 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,440 puts tipics on his face now. He's like he paints his chin 394 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,480 white. Why? 395 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,280 Whatever the just he's born lockdown. 396 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:24,840 He's the semen. I don't know. 397 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,360 He's just kind of, I don't know what it is, but I haven't seen 398 00:21:28,360 --> 00:21:30,920 him and look. If I looked at his Instagram 399 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,520 would I see this? Not Instagram, but just Google 400 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,920 Plan B. Plan B Tip X face. 401 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:43,400 White face, which sounds. Plan B. 402 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:49,240 I'll tell you what I'll do Plan B 2020, and what what this 403 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,520 episode is definitely going to be called No Plan B because it 404 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,600 makes sense on a lot of levels. Remember, he was even acting. 405 00:21:54,640 --> 00:22:00,600 He was a cute acting like Mark. Folks, he did. 406 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:06,000 To be honest, he he looks like me if I started doing coke. 407 00:22:11,360 --> 00:22:12,520 Oh well, I don't know what he's doing. 408 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,840 Should Plan B man, you fucking lost around yourself. 409 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:16,960 Come back, come back and just start doing. 410 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,080 Here's the thing. Plan B was always like this 411 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,480 grime rapper and he is very good rapper. 412 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,240 And then he brings out this soul album where he's singing like 413 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,480 high pitched and it's fucking brilliant. 414 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,160 The whole album is amazing and everyone's like, are you just 415 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:31,280 going to do another album like this? 416 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,920 And he's like, Nah, I'm going back to the rapping and it's 417 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,680 like, but you're killing it right now. 418 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:40,440 He's like, Nah, going back to the rapping that you can sort of 419 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:46,480 you can sort of understand in comedy terms where like, you 420 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,880 know, if you if you hit on something that's going well, 421 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,880 people can never understand why you would stop doing it. 422 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,800 But then but then doing performing of some sort, I 423 00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,720 totally understand why he'd be like, Nah, I just, it's not me 424 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,640 really, you know, I'm just not enjoying it. 425 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,400 Like I've definitely dropped characters before now, don't get 426 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,720 me wrong, I wasn't the level of success of Plan B, but the the 427 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,560 so I, I heard a phrase recently, a a comedian was talking about a 428 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,600 character and he said that he had got advice, I can't remember 429 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:22,600 who from a friend, but the advice was something like don't 430 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,680 quit the hit. You know, the advice was like, 431 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:26,800 if something's working for you, don't stop doing it. 432 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,040 But I think absolutely, if you aren't enjoying doing something, 433 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,360 definitely stop doing it and and do something else. 434 00:23:33,360 --> 00:23:36,920 Yeah, but then you can definitely play it out too, to 435 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:38,880 the point where people is like, I'm just sick of this now. 436 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,800 Yeah, well, I, I, I made the mist like with the Mike 437 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:48,680 McGoldrick character. I did that and then thought I'd 438 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,960 kind of had enough of it and then stupidly in loads of 439 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,360 interviews said I'm not doing it anymore because they were asking 440 00:23:55,360 --> 00:23:57,360 like, say I would do. I was promoting a tour. 441 00:23:57,360 --> 00:23:59,200 There were like any more of those videos and I was like, 442 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,800 Nah, killing the character off. It's done. 443 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,200 And then about a week later I was like probably do more of 444 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:06,040 that. So I just. 445 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,000 But at least you know, you've like different characters. 446 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,640 Like there's some guys you see online and they just do the same 447 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:17,960 character for years and years and years and you they're bound 448 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:22,600 to get sick of it as well. It's like material, you know, 449 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:26,920 it's like we all have bits of material that you know, are 450 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,000 guaranteed hits. You know, that bit is going to 451 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,520 get a laugh, but how long do you want to keep doing it for? 452 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,920 Because I get really paranoid that the audience will see that 453 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:37,320 I'm bored of that bit of material. 454 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:43,480 Yeah, that's my dad. And I, I think, well, sometimes 455 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:48,160 I think as as a comedian, you can't overthink a lot that what 456 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,080 the audience actually the audience half the time don't 457 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,160 even notice things, I guess really like. 458 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,800 Or they, I mean, I know guys that are even more powerful than 459 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,120 me about that. And go, if I come back to the 460 00:24:59,120 --> 00:25:02,440 same venue within a year or two years, I don't want to be doing 461 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,040 any of the same jokes. There's loads of times where I 462 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,520 have heard a joke from a comedian before and then I hear 463 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,440 them start to do the bit again and I'm excited. 464 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,320 I'm like, I love this bit. You know, this is a great bit of 465 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,120 stand up. So yeah, I think you can 466 00:25:17,120 --> 00:25:20,680 definitely like overthink. If you're doing the same bit for 467 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,640 10 years, maybe. You're dead behind the eyes. 468 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,400 If you need to look at it, but it it depends like it's a kind 469 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:33,600 of like the greatest hits. Sometimes you go on and doing 470 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:38,080 the exact same set everywhere, but sometimes people like to 471 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,360 hear an odd depth or whatever. But it depends where you are and 472 00:25:41,360 --> 00:25:44,120 what you're doing. Like if you're, if you know, if 473 00:25:44,120 --> 00:25:47,680 you get asked to do a gig for some late night American TV 474 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,040 show, you're not going to be like, I'll have a couple of new 475 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:51,720 bits kicking around here. Let's see how these go. 476 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,680 No, you're going to do the tried and tested stuff. 477 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,120 But if you're regularly performing as we do and so many 478 00:25:57,120 --> 00:26:01,000 comedians do in comedy clubs, yet you have to be doing new 479 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,440 stuff because what? Otherwise, what are you doing? 480 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:07,320 Yeah, yeah, yeah. What do you it's it's a it's a 481 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,080 funny beast like it's stand up something. 482 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,960 I think that's why I like it. You'll you'll never get your 483 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,280 head wrapped around it. You never get your head wrapped 484 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:17,840 around it. And what I love about it is 485 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,800 you're not really guaranteed anything. 486 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:26,080 And what I mean that is you could play, I could do libraries 487 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:31,360 and 90% of the people there could have some previous 488 00:26:31,360 --> 00:26:33,480 knowledge of you, whether they've seen you at a gig or 489 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,840 they've seen a video before, might mean something for the 1st 490 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,080 30 seconds of the set. They might give you like a bit 491 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,400 of a by ball and like, Oh no, well, he'll get us for the next 492 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:47,520 one. But 30 seconds in, you're judged 493 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,880 the same as someone who's doing stand up for the first time. 494 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:51,280 That's what I like about stand up. 495 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:56,720 You know, the, the, the brutal honesty from because sometimes 496 00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,240 as well, I enjoy a really bad gig as much as a good one 497 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,160 because you can take something away from it and go, you know 498 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:03,280 what? I didn't have the foot on the 499 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:08,160 gas there or, or whatever, but I, I didn't think I would miss 500 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,560 stand up this much. I was thinking there's positive 501 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,520 and there is positives and taking a break from it. 502 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,840 But now it's at the point where like now I need to get back to 503 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:23,680 it because it really is it real. Like when you do do stand up, 504 00:27:24,360 --> 00:27:26,920 it's part of your personality. It's part of you as a person, 505 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,400 and that sounds like if a musician said that, I'd be like 506 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:31,720 you. Fuck, you're a wanker. 507 00:27:32,120 --> 00:27:34,320 But. I understand myself. 508 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,920 I'm like, no, I need, I just need to get up and do 5 minutes 509 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:39,560 anywhere. I don't need it to go good. 510 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,960 I just have some new material and need to try it out. 511 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,440 So what's your, what's your plan? 512 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:48,040 Because some comedians I speak to say they want to wait until 513 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:51,360 it's, it's a bit more normal. And some people like me are just 514 00:27:51,360 --> 00:27:54,920 like I do a gig at the bottom of my driveway to three people if I 515 00:27:54,920 --> 00:28:00,040 could. Yeah, like it's got the stage 516 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,720 where I just, and you kind of forget too, that a lot of the 517 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:05,960 crack too is just beating up with you guys. 518 00:28:06,120 --> 00:28:07,440 Yeah, yeah. That's I'm. 519 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,840 Just. I and so like, even though we 520 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,680 enjoy getting up on stage and and doing a bit like a lot of it 521 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,120 is just the fun with hanging out. 522 00:28:15,120 --> 00:28:17,920 And so I can't wait to get back to normality. 523 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:22,480 But equally I can't, I can't wait to get to do just anything 524 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,160 at all to get to get things back to normality. 525 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,760 And it's weird too, because you have to consider now you're like 526 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,720 gigs of a book before lockdown. You can't have to wait till you 527 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,920 feel other people are going to be comfortable in the audience, 528 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:36,720 yeah. Yeah, yeah. 529 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,520 Not because you're actually all right, you're usually metres 530 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:43,920 away from them and but it's, yeah, just normality. 531 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:48,120 Just be nice to get back into. We don't have to wonder, you 532 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:49,880 know, like because you're into the shop now and you're kind of 533 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,160 stuff and you're worried that you're going to bump into 534 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:53,600 someone. Get the heads still photography. 535 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,320 See for the first, see, for the first year or two, when stand up 536 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,520 comes back, I'm just going to be a hologram, but no one's going 537 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,800 to know about it. It's cost me so much money, but 538 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:02,080 like, I'm never going to be there. 539 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,200 I'm always. A literally low generator in the 540 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,400 back to keep you going. Yeah. 541 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:11,640 Like, it's even like, weird. Like I remember the dog got a 542 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,800 cut that day in the first couple of weeks of that thing. 543 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,880 And I went into the vet and she wasn't wearing a mask or 544 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:19,680 anything, but she was all very standoffish. 545 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,880 And I was like, what a fucking weird vet. 546 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:23,600 What is her problem? And she told me to go out to the 547 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,400 car. Like such an arrogant content of 548 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:27,520 that. I'm taking my business 549 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,680 elsewhere. Fuck is locked down. 550 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:35,880 I forgot all of it happened, but it's such a strange, but it's 551 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:37,960 not too bad. We're lucky enough on the 552 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:39,600 countryside. I'm the same. 553 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,480 It's not too bad, but like if you're in the city or a town 554 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:47,160 founded in. See, when I drive, even driving 555 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:51,600 through Belfast couple of times for, for work and, and you see 556 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,520 the queues outside the likes of a spa or whatever, because 557 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:58,680 people live on top of each other and they can, you know, it makes 558 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,600 you take, you know, you don't take for granted. 559 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,200 I live sort of in the countryside as well, not as far 560 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:07,520 as you, but in the countryside. And it's great because, yeah, 2 561 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:08,720 minutes away, you're in a forest. 562 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,280 You can go for a walk, you can do whatever. 563 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,920 But you, you had the you like me, had to cancel a tour. 564 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,360 But this is going to be this going to be your first, first 565 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:22,440 like solo stand up tour. And do you feel so you basically 566 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:28,320 like people like myself and Mickey and a couple others, we 567 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:32,120 were doing stand up before we did videos because there was no 568 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:36,000 like no YouTube really when we started doing stand up and there 569 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,920 was no, we didn't even really know you could do that. 570 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:41,600 You know what I mean? It's like, it's like you talk 571 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,000 about going to see Tommy Tiernan and you're like, that'd be 572 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,240 class. But we don't get to do that. 573 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,120 You know, that's like, I, I went to the empire too and I watched 574 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,960 and I was like, oh, if only you could do that. 575 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:56,000 And then I saw Paddy Migaki do it whenever I was like 16. 576 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,560 I saw this guy from Ballymena on stage and I was like, he looks 577 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,280 like me. Maybe I could do it. 578 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:05,400 But do you feel it? Because you kinda you, you know, 579 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:09,040 we loads of us were doing stand up for years before we, you 580 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,200 know, thought about like a tour or whatever. 581 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,720 And you know, you've been able to combine taking the stand up 582 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,280 really naturally. And the video is just like 583 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:21,800 almost exploding from the start. Do you feel like a wee bit more 584 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,400 pressure like because it's your first one and and because it's 585 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:29,560 happening quick, or do you feel that you know, you've you've 586 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,200 been able just to do a lot of gigs because that's a great 587 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:33,600 thing about stand. Up nowadays is. 588 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:37,800 There's so many gigs. It is like, I do know, like 589 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,000 there's been comedians who have been going for years before they 590 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:47,200 even thought of doing tour. But to me, like I've seen, I've 591 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:52,320 seen before, like, you know, you could do a gig and you could 592 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,440 have 1/2 hour set and you could do it on the Thursday night and 593 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,360 pill and you could do it on the Friday night and day. 594 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:03,280 So it's kind of like what what odds in many years if you have 595 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:08,720 your hour set or whatever. And like, I'm not the you guys 596 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:10,960 have been at it for years, whereas I haven't. 597 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,280 So I feel like I've time to make up for it here. 598 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:17,040 And it's kind of to me, the stand ups, like it's a sport, 599 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,880 the more you keep at it and the more you keep at it. 600 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,440 So if I have an hour to do, that's the that's the worst 601 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,280 thing about me. If I have the pressure on, I do 602 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,920 it. I went, I'm not going for a tour 603 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:34,160 for 10 years. It'll be 20 years all the time. 604 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,160 I get around it. That that's like we're talking 605 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,920 about with the Plan B taken away being like, I've booked a tour. 606 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,280 You've you've got to go and you've got to go do it, you 607 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:45,640 know, And one thing that pisses me off is hearing comedians that 608 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,920 have been doing it for a while, people longer than me and not as 609 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:52,640 long as me talking about this idea of like, you know, Oh no, 610 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,920 you have to be you have to be at it six years before this and 611 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,080 that. And that is like the worst thing 612 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,000 people say. It's like there is there is no 613 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,200 magic formula to this is when you should go and do an R. 614 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:05,800 This is when you should do a tour. 615 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:09,560 When you say to yourself like, OK, I'm, I feel like I'm this is 616 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,000 going to be a good show. That's. 617 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,120 What a tour? A tour is you do in your R, just 618 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:15,480 in different places. Yeah. 619 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:19,560 Do you know what I mean? So it's not really, you know, I 620 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,520 don't there is a lot of not well, there's a lot of pressure 621 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:24,640 and I'm not only make sure that people have a good time and a 622 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:28,240 good show, but equally I feel I can do it. 623 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:30,920 Yeah. I feel that, you know, if I have 624 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:35,400 something to work towards, I always seem to kind of pull out 625 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:39,800 of the bag somewhere. So it was more, it is more like 626 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:43,080 there's like lockdown, you know, you'd think we've had months off 627 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:47,320 here that we should have 4 hours of material and you don't. 628 00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,640 But whereas if you've something to work towards, I think for me, 629 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,920 I'll always have something, you know, but no, I'm looking 630 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:58,200 forward to it because I because like as I say, I left the job. 631 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:04,600 This is what I want to do so. If you can't enjoy this, like, 632 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,159 yeah, exactly, exactly. And you know, the, the best 633 00:34:08,159 --> 00:34:12,560 thing about doing a tour is, is being in different places and 634 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,400 people come into your show to, to see you. 635 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:19,360 And it's not a pressure thing. It's, it's a thing to enjoy that 636 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,800 like these people are already wanting to have a good time. 637 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,520 It's even better than in a way, comedy clubs because people go 638 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,360 to comedy clubs, they're dragged along or they're like, oh, we'll 639 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,440 see what it's like. Or they're maybe there to see 640 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,800 someone else. But on a tour, they're there to 641 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:34,679 see you. And you can look at that like, 642 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:39,159 Oh my God, this is mine. You know, I, their night depends 643 00:34:39,159 --> 00:34:41,480 on me, but they're, they're already wanting you to have a 644 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,440 good time. That's whenever you walk out 645 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,679 doing a tour, you can feel like all these are just like this, 646 00:34:46,679 --> 00:34:51,040 like a big room of friends. All right, yeah, like I'm I 647 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:54,840 would rather like, I'd rather do it that way. 648 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,760 Like I love, don't get me wrong, I love them, you know, going to 649 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,000 like laveries and stuff. But the fact of having your own, 650 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,240 we thing with your own group, people just come to see you. 651 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,560 And it's kind of like, I remember when I first started 652 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:12,640 thinking like I was going to die in my ass in Belfast because 653 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:16,440 they're either not going to understand what I'm saying or 654 00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,200 they're just not going to get the references. 655 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,920 But I've always felt and enjoyed Belfast. 656 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,520 And then the tour when they were booking me, they were probably 657 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,600 down for London and Liverpool and Glasgow. 658 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,800 And I was like, this is such a far cry for me, thinking that 659 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:35,760 I'm never going to get much in Belfast, never mind London. 660 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,360 But it's so. It's a thing of like, you're 661 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:43,320 right, there's times I've seen you do stand up and probably 662 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,480 vice versa. And with every other comedian, I 663 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,400 don't get every reference. I'm not going to get every 664 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,360 reference that you're going to mention. 665 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:51,880 But that's not going to stop me finding it funny. 666 00:35:52,720 --> 00:35:56,160 I might, I might miss hear a word, but it's like I watched 667 00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,680 the The Wire is one of my favourite TV shows ever. 668 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:00,560 There's loads of words that I totally miss. 669 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:02,120 And I'm like, what the fuck that person say? 670 00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,320 But it doesn't, Yeah, it doesn't take away from my enjoyment of 671 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,480 it. It the funny feeling is just it, 672 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,240 it, it doesn't matter really. What I mean, it's different. 673 00:36:11,240 --> 00:36:16,280 Like, you can't obviously go to New York and do a show that only 674 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,560 relies on Northern Irish references because people just 675 00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:21,200 aren't going to get it. But if it's the. 676 00:36:21,240 --> 00:36:27,800 All the reference. What do you think? 677 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:33,240 This guy's fucking crazy. You see whatever whenever I was 678 00:36:33,240 --> 00:36:36,080 in the States at the end, I think at the end the last year, 679 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,680 you're the you're the first person people ask me about the 680 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:43,200 first person like in like, you know, because you're meeting 681 00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:48,080 people in New York that are from here that love comedy. 682 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:51,440 So they're, they see everything they they keep across at all. 683 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:52,840 And and they're like, what about you? 684 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,360 What about the boy McCartney? What about the boy McCartney? 685 00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:57,960 And I mean it, it'd be, it'd be a good opportunity for me to 686 00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,640 spread a lot of rumours just for no reason, because they're like, 687 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:04,920 what about that fellow McCartney and I, Magabry, you know, that 688 00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:08,680 would be a good opportunity for me to or he loves a bath. 689 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,160 Leave it at that believable. He loves the bath. 690 00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:13,000 The Gabriel. We all know what that means. 691 00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,960 The only guy to bring his own butt, smuggle his own bath. 692 00:37:19,240 --> 00:37:26,480 He had a loofer up his hole. What about fellas that do 693 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:29,400 smuggle stuff into prison? Do you think genuinely that they 694 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,240 practise it? Because, you know, you never 695 00:37:32,240 --> 00:37:34,720 hear of a fellow who just smuggled in a joint. 696 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:40,560 It's always a guy who took six iPhones and a book. 697 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:47,200 A broom. I practise it. 698 00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:50,240 Yeah. Well, what would you practise 699 00:37:50,240 --> 00:37:51,800 with? Yeah, life. 700 00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:55,200 And then try and get it in. Yeah, I don't know. 701 00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,040 I just. Think like a sticker. 702 00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,040 Bother. You have to work your way up 703 00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:00,960 because there's no way a fella goes fucking. 704 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:02,720 We'll see if there's, oh, actually that fits, you know 705 00:38:02,720 --> 00:38:04,240 what I mean? Like, there's no way. 706 00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:09,200 There's 42 inch widescreen TV. I didn't think I had it in 707 00:38:09,240 --> 00:38:11,120 there.

A purpose only that doesn't it. 777 00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:40,680 And they they're apparently class. 778 00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:43,840 That's where they're saying like millionaires and who who are in 779 00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,200 gaol for like tax fraud. They just you get the anger. 780 00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:47,400 You get to play tennis and stuff. 781 00:42:48,240 --> 00:42:49,520 I know what they all murdered about. 782 00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:00,280 This is true. Well, I didn't know her well, 783 00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:05,120 but I know of her and they said you're sentenced to life for 784 00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:08,000 murder, but you can go down to the shopping centre during the 785 00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,960 day, which she's in Mayo or somewhere. 786 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:13,760 Doesn't take take the rough with the smooth. 787 00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:19,080 Saturday.

Who did she murder? 790 00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:28,080 Was Jacqueline, in fairness, she got another board to murder or 791 00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:32,520 all of them smart. So I suppose tactically she 792 00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:35,360 didn't do it. She repainted the house after 793 00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:41,920 the that's what she really done. I'm reading off those. 794 00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,840 What's this whole? What's the whole? 795 00:43:46,720 --> 00:43:48,720 I was. Going to say what is the social 796 00:43:48,720 --> 00:43:52,840 etiquette on say you like made a new friend or whatever, or we're 797 00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:55,640 doing stand up with some guy and he's fucking really nice and 798 00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:58,120 good at stand up and lovely fella. 799 00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:02,320 And then he turns around and he's like, lads, let's put let 800 00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:03,960 me put all my cards in the table here. 801 00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:07,600 I did murder someone, but I've served my time and I'm 802 00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:09,640 rehabilitated. Do you give someone like that a 803 00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:11,880 second chance or do you do you judge them like? 804 00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:17,880 I think I'd like to know the details of why you murdered him. 805 00:44:18,240 --> 00:44:21,680 He doesn't defence your family. What if he's land? 806 00:44:21,720 --> 00:44:26,080 What if he's like, Oh, he he said, he said, he said my dad 807 00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:30,080 was disabled. You know, you could understand. 808 00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:36,160 But if he but if he's like, if he's like, oh, this fella just, 809 00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:39,600 you know, looked at me, This fella asked me what time it was 810 00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:40,960 and I took a nice pic to his loaf. 811 00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:45,240 You know, you would at that point probably go, no, we can't 812 00:44:45,240 --> 00:44:49,760 be friends. Then if he's going to do that 813 00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,400 over the time, he'll probably cut your fucking head off for 814 00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:55,600 doing that. Would he keep would he keep 815 00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:58,200 making references to it as banter as it went on, like 816 00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:01,440 people? He'd probably be friends quite a 817 00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,680 bit. Been calm because they kill you. 818 00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:08,040 I reckon he'd make shit banter about it as well. 819 00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:09,520 But you would have to laugh because he's murdered. 820 00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:11,800 He'd come off stage and you'd be like, man, you did well tonight, 821 00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:13,960 you killed it and then go. Wouldn't be the first time, you 822 00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:15,720 know? And you always laugh at that, 823 00:45:15,720 --> 00:45:19,840 even though you didn't enjoy it. Yeah, the stage where it just 824 00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:21,440 goes on that long, he's the next thing. 825 00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:23,120 He's your best manager, wedding and stuff. 826 00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:27,240 It goes on that. Still haven't got rid of him. 827 00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:33,280 Yeah, I don't know when you drop that bomb, usually I suppose was 828 00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:35,160 best. Well, you said, you said you 829 00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,080 said you wanted this start. We started talking about this 830 00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,160 because you said you wanted to do a gig in Magalbury. 831 00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:43,560 Why? I just think it'd be funny. 832 00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:49,320 Look, out of all crowds, they would just be like, that's not 833 00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:52,840 funny. And so I think I actually know 834 00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,080 what it is. I've watched too much Johnny 835 00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:57,440 Cash. Sam Quentin. 836 00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:02,480 Sam Quentin. Yes, yeah, like, I mean, he's he 837 00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:06,240 definitely sings a song that very much plays to the crowd and 838 00:46:06,240 --> 00:46:09,560 he starts slagging off all the wardens and and the the staff 839 00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:12,400 and stuff like that. I reckon if you did a gig in 840 00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:16,120 Magalbury, though, I think there'd be a slightly rowdy 841 00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:17,440 crowd. Let me just say that. 842 00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:21,040 And I think they would start heckling you and what they were 843 00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:24,000 saying wouldn't be that funny, but if you like, they'd all be 844 00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,160 laughing all they'd be like you're shaking on. 845 00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:27,440 You'd hit back and you go. I know. 846 00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:28,600 But at least I'm going home tonight. 847 00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:30,520 I reckon they would then turn and go. 848 00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:33,720 We're going to fucking make you stay here, you know? 849 00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:39,360 I actually think they'd be quite late because they'd be like this 850 00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:41,360 guy, no one ever comes to see us. 851 00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:44,240 I mean us a bunch of murderers and rapists. 852 00:46:44,240 --> 00:46:47,840 Why would they not come see us?

That'll be a fun video to make. 856 00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:02,880 But I don't, I don't know, I think I would get. 857 00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:05,560 The one latty.

You say you guys have been 891 00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,000 wearing these for years. You know, you guys are the 892 00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:52,320 originators of the masks. And I know it'd be a good time 893 00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:56,920 that, you know, menu heading over to the Chernobyl Fringe. 894 00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:01,600 Yeah. Do you need anything for your 895 00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:03,160 backstage rider? Yes, a bath. 896 00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:08,960 From a bath, Yeah, the Bruce Willis can go to Chernobyl. 897 00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:10,840 Why can't we? What was he doing there? 898 00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:14,600 Die Hard 5. Did he? 899 00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:21,560 Actually? It's a lie, no? 900 00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:24,840 You ever see it jet lag, but it's. 901 00:49:26,240 --> 00:49:29,800 Hold on, I don't know whether you're taking advantage of the 902 00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,400 fact that I don't really watch action films. 903 00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:34,680 Did they really film Die Hard 5 there? 904 00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:38,600 Are you making this up? Well, there's based in 905 00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:41,000 Chernobyl, but I don't know if the film there. 906 00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:44,000 Right, because this is a bit like whenever I was in Strabane 907 00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:47,360 once doing Rui would just have a comedy club there and a guy. 908 00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:49,360 What? Do you guys say it's Chernobyl, 909 00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:53,640 Bruce? Well this wasn't Chernobyl, but 910 00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:57,600 he wasn't insta ban. Die die heard sex instrban. 911 00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:04,640 No, I I was doing a gig instraban and I was talking 912 00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:07,480 about, you know, the army have that way robot that blows up 913 00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:10,960 bombs. Someone told me he was called 914 00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:15,120 Joey 90 and I went, Is he? Yeah. 915 00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:16,880 And then moved on and discussed that. 916 00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:19,920 And then after the gig, guys like me, I don't think it's 917 00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:22,480 actually called that. I thought it was called Joey 90, 918 00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:26,880 but I still don't know if it is. And I still don't know if Bruce 919 00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:30,360 Willis has been in Chernobyl. But the take away nervous thing 920 00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:34,480 called Joe 90's The food is explosive. 921 00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:39,280 Is it good? I've happened it once actually 922 00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:42,200 named the burger after me. I was going to ask, is that the 923 00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:44,160 place and the burger that's named after you? 924 00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:46,960 Is it still on the menu and do you feel the pressure to go 925 00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:50,600 there and get acquit a lot? No, the the place that 926 00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:53,880 originally done it, Joe 90s stole it. 927 00:50:57,720 --> 00:51:01,160 This is true. The the like I like never 928 00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:05,000 dropped an industry done the Mickey Harney burger. 929 00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:07,000 I don't think it's that over failed right. 930 00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:11,320 But about two weeks later Joe 90s put up on their Facebook. 931 00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:14,440 They were doing the same burger. I think there's a pound there. 932 00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:22,280 Was it also called the burger? Mocky Mckarney never got 933 00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:26,120 clearance from me or anyone, So what fair play don't there. 934 00:51:26,240 --> 00:51:28,760 Right, here's the thing. You fucking know you were right 935 00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:32,200 to leave that job because there's unofficial burgers of 936 00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:34,320 you. You mean like there's there's 937 00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:36,560 the official McCartney burger but you know you've made it 938 00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:39,280 whenever there's unofficial unlicensed burgers? 939 00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:43,240 Whenever there's counterfeiting burgers, that's when you know 940 00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:47,720 you've you've made. It that's very. 941 00:51:47,720 --> 00:51:50,520 Very I can't even wait. I can't even enjoy like there's 942 00:51:50,720 --> 00:51:54,600 like even going to the like getting there's something lovely 943 00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:58,920 to eat now is impossible. You know, I've got I got take 944 00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:01,120 away from Nando's like before last. 945 00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:03,840 I don't know if you know this about me, but I kind of like a 946 00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:05,920 Nando. I mean what's weird is I'm 947 00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:08,800 thought of as like a Nando's guy on the stand up scene before a 948 00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:11,160 stand up. You're the first guy I've ever 949 00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:14,800 seen with a Nando's black yard. I don't have the black card. 950 00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:21,280 Yeah, you have a Nando's card. Aye, but just like a loyalty 951 00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:24,440 loyalty type card. And I won't be even having that. 952 00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:28,720 And what's weird is we're using it in Central. 953 00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:36,280 I have a centre deli cards. You're right, it's not the same 954 00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:38,840 actually sitting in somewhere because they have a nice medium 955 00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:40,880 need to be relaxed. It's about the atmosphere. 956 00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:44,400 And when you have been in only one or two places that serve 957 00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:48,920 food and it's just weird, you, you keep saying to yourself 958 00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:50,920 like, this is all this. This is not right. 959 00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:52,760 Even have you got the haircut yet? 960 00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:57,880 Why does everybody ask me this? The nice. 961 00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:02,240 The number one question people ask me when they see me is when 962 00:53:02,240 --> 00:53:05,080 you booked in to get the haircut I like. 963 00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:07,560 I like my hair the way it is. I'm growing up like this, but 964 00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:09,720 you. You're always like a haircut 965 00:53:09,720 --> 00:53:12,480 connoisseur. You always talk great pray in 966 00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:14,160 your hair. And I'm just wondering like it's 967 00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:16,920 quite, it's quite short in the size I kind of thought. 968 00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:18,800 Has he got it done? Right. 969 00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:21,040 We have been cutting the hair in the house. 970 00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:23,920 Just do it. Sometimes I do my own, sometimes 971 00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:26,680 my wife cuts it. I've been doing my own back 972 00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:29,640 insides, But what? My own sides, not my own, not 973 00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:33,040 the back. But what I'll say is this, I'm 974 00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:36,600 now getting to the stage where it's fight or flight. 975 00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:40,440 The these bits are starting to come over the top of my ears, 976 00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:45,200 which I hate, right? So do I just ride it out and 977 00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:46,880 grow my hair long and go past that? 978 00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:47,920 Or do. I that's nothing. 979 00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:52,040 See. No, but that's great because 980 00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:56,200 you've gone past that point and now you're at that point where I 981 00:53:56,600 --> 00:54:00,680 it's all one. I'm growing for a video right? 982 00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:04,840 I need a look in Tom Hanks on the island. 983 00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:07,080 A well fed Tom Hanks on the island. 984 00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:09,800 Right. What do you call that? 985 00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:14,760 What do you call that fellow? Forrest Gump No, I know the 1 986 00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:18,040 castaway castaway. Castaway So I need to look like 987 00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:21,560 a fat Tom Hanks fastaway. Fastaway. 988 00:54:22,240 --> 00:54:25,720 Yeah, the so Ken. Well, I always wanted to try and 989 00:54:25,720 --> 00:54:27,920 grow a beard and I thought now is the time to try it. 990 00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:31,120 I can't. But I'm quite disappointed. 991 00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:33,760 I can't. I mean, there isn't many local 992 00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:36,640 comedians, when you think about it, that can grow a good beard. 993 00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:38,960 They want to say not. Beards. 994 00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:41,640 But there's not good beards. McKechnie. 995 00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:45,080 McKechnie has a good beard. McKechnie definitely has a good 996 00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:48,160 beard. That's he's probably the only. 997 00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:50,920 Yeah, because a lot of guys try it. 998 00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:53,320 Like, like what? Dave has a good beard. 999 00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:54,720 You'd be really. Annoying, I do. 1000 00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:57,680 Say that he does this. Is nicely groomed. 1001 00:54:57,680 --> 00:55:02,320 This is like a nice wee Bush. His is like Plan B but black. 1002 00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:08,880 His is like Plan B's but black. You know Dave's done. 1003 00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:13,160 They've done sharpie instead of tip X, but his is good. 1004 00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:14,320 I don't know. Here's the thing. 1005 00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:17,360 Should I just shave the back inside and keep it long on top? 1006 00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:21,200 I don't know what to do. What do you think? 1007 00:55:21,240 --> 00:55:26,160 Yeah, I usually. Get half back inside, half all 1008 00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:30,680 over and then trim it on top. But like look how long it is on 1009 00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:34,520 top at the minute so. I usually get the same but I'm 1010 00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:38,160 kind of I'm fed up. Last barbers I went to before 1011 00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:40,200 you're. You're waiting for ages now. 1012 00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:42,720 But you're supposed to book in now, no appointment. 1013 00:55:42,720 --> 00:55:44,880 No, Well, like before. Oh, yeah, Yeah. 1014 00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:47,600 But, but I think all barbers are going to go, well, most barbers 1015 00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:51,320 are going to go appointments now because it makes so much sense. 1016 00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:55,160 But I don't know. I kind of, I like having 1017 00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:57,480 something to do with it. And my wife hates this whenever 1018 00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:02,560 I do this and I flop it. You know, I just love that. 1019 00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:05,000 You love doing that, didn't you? Yeah, absolutely love it and I 1020 00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:09,280 only I only wash my hair now once a week, so it's all but 1021 00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:13,360 discovery at the end of the day. And what conditioner do you use? 1022 00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:18,640 Shame Pantene. Pantene, Yeah, I mean, you're 1023 00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:20,480 expecting a response or just straight in? 1024 00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:23,920 No, Pantene. Yeah, no, I usually just find 1025 00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:28,400 whatever's sitting around the fem fresh or something, whatever 1026 00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:32,600 soapy just does the job. Fem Fresh. 1027 00:56:33,720 --> 00:56:35,800 Yeah, I'm going. To read the back of Fem Fresh. 1028 00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:41,280 No, I mean it'd be quite is fem for does fem first remove your 1029 00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:42,160 hair? Is it like feet? 1030 00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:46,520 I'll leave you with that. All right, I appreciate it. 1031 00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:50,240 I'll have a wee bit of research to do on that and and Die Hard 5 1032 00:56:50,240 --> 00:56:51,960 because I need to get to the bottom of this. 1033 00:56:52,720 --> 00:56:55,320 Yeah, Die Hard 5.
