Travel review of London. It's busy, yeah.
But see where I was. By the way, we've started.
It was real busy because you had you've Big Ben.
It's Big Ben beside Westminster. Yeah, that is Big Ben.
And I was thinking in my head, I went if that's not Big Ben,
that's good. Like still good, but it is.
Yeah. Yeah.
She have Westminster, Big Ben, London Bridge.
Yeah, it was all there, but I was going, I was going around my
line bike. And see, because they're cycle
lanes, because so many tourists see the cycle lanes, see, you
know that guy Cycle and Mikey who catches people on their
phones? And he's really like jobs Worth.
Yeah. You ever see him go around?
You're on the scooter. No, he just goes around on his
bike and catches people in their cars on phones.
Got you. I turned into his level of like.
Jobs see anyone on the cycling bring.
Bring, bring me. Excuse me, I was all once you do
it, the one person power like it's the part.
Because you're in the right. Yeah, I'm in the right.
Just move out of the way. These are people that are
walking in the cycles. Yes, or standing slightly on it
to get a photo right. But I I love beating around my
reeling. But London was good, really,
really good time. I was in Dubai in January, we
had a line bike. They're going around the marine
and stuff. Some people fear them.
I love them. Dear Valley won't get on line
back. He says too dangerous.
I understand what he means. Like Willy nearly died and Oslo
falling off him. He was drunk and he got on.

He was out of his mind. Well, you don't get.
Out of it, out of your mind, like.
Yeah, how do you mind with cerebral palsy on Earth?
You know what he did? He didn't.
He thought his feet were on the scooter, but his feet were still
either side of it on the ground. She pressed the button to go.
And the scooter went that took his arms with me.
Yeah. And then he hit the ground.
If you're out of your mind and you cerebral palsy, even walking
could kill you. If you.
Want even walking could kill you because you could slip on a curb
and bang your head. Yeah.
So anything without of your mind is dangerous, yeah.
That's true. You know what I mean?
Like the amount of people that slip on curbs and stuff around,
bang their heads because they're drunk, because they're out of
their mind so. Getting behind something that is

I don't want to wear them. You stop letting me watch.
That hard rated season says I'm going.
To turn it off, I'm going to turn off and I'm going to check
my heart rate at. The end.
Bye bye, Connor, Bren. Yes, I like how positive you're
feeling. If you say, would you say this
happened Maybe that won a happy should have been right now a.
Couple of times a year would happen.
Right. So we're we're currently in the
experience now I have Andrew Ryan happy.
No, I don't know. What it is I've been on, I've
been on top of me shit. Like yes, I think I've been,
I've been on me shit. Like your man.
Would you believe I've actually come off?
I'm actually for the first time in 16 years, I'm coming off me
antidepressants, going to be off in about two weeks.
I actually didn't. I didn't know you're all.
I've been on antidepressants. I was 21.
I didn't know that, yeah. That's more than 16.
So you just said first time in 16 years.
Oh, whatever year it is, Yeah, in your, I say 16 years a lot
for reference. So if you started when you were
21, this means. You know, I had about two or
three years after. 38 years you've been on, Yeah.
He's hilarious. Back on. 2:00 So when did you
come off from there? No, So what I've done, I'm on, I
mean, I'm not going to lie, but like so many people around them,
but I'm on 20 milligrammes a day.
I was on 40 for a couple of years, then I went down to 20
and I'm on 10 every second day. OK, I'm going to go to five.
So you just chop the tablet up into squares.
So I'm hoping about 2 1/2 weeks now.
I've no, I've come off before. It's quite hard, like shocks in
your brain and. Stuff.
I'm going to ask, have you come off them before and what
actually happened? Your erection is is good.
You have a better erection like more thoughtful erection, you
know it's more. Thoughtful.
It's more thoughtful, like, more present, stays wrong for a
while. Like yes, involved, you know?
Right. I just didn't expect.
That but I mean like I meant more like mood wise.
More be up and down you. Know.
No, I'm just coming off and because I thought, you know
what, got to make changes to see different results, you know, so
you got to do things don't. See that boner?
No, no, it's all right anyway. You want the boners back.
You are. That's why you are on.
The big boner days come. You're still depressed, you just
want the route. The big happy.
Route. I don't, I listen.
It's happy anyway, it's totally fine.
There's not a day goes by where I don't look at it because.
We're good. He's like, I'm good, you know?
Yeah, there's. No problem.
I don't know though. Like the fact that that was the
first thing that came out of your mouth tells me different.
Joe, while I was with I was opening for Peter Flanagan last
week and he had a really good joke about the unreliable
erections and. Afterwards we've had a chat with
him and I said to him, I'm on the same tablets you're on and
he was like I'm on the same tablets you're on as well.
So we had a chat and he said he said you're, he said you'll get
a good erect, your erections will be a bit stronger after you
come off them. So when you said it to me that
was the first thing I taught us. So Peter Flanagan was telling me
about it like I. See.
I see. And what's the longest you've
not been on the model for when you said you come off them
before? Oh, but I think I was often for
about two years. When?
Oh, yeah. Right, Right.
Yeah. So you and is the so the beard
almost like a? New thing to introduce.
It's a new guy. The presents are gone.
The beard is maybe gonna you know.
No, no, it's just, I'm just, I'm just like, no, I don't.
I don't want to be controlled by a tablet like.
Yes, that's a good attitude to have, Yes.
But I I said I can control, I can manage my own behalf.
And you're almost saying like the tablets wouldn't have wanted
you to have a beard, so you're almost saying to them.
Look, I would, you know, I would have would have been.
I would swear by those meds, like, because I come out, I
actually came off them for about two or three weeks when I
stopped taking them for about two or three weeks, maybe, maybe
in 2020 during lockdown, actually.
And like, but I think other factors would have made me fall
off the Cliff there, you know, the lack of social interaction,
Yeah, all that kind of stuff. But now everything's gone really
well. I'm enjoying my life.
Yeah. So the balance is right.
You know, I love that. I don't want to be on tablets.
Like, yeah, we don't want you on the matter, no.
So unless you need them. But but you don't.
I think it's worth trying. Yeah, this did this do, I'd be
honest with you. Like I think they've been
unbelievable. For me, like, yeah.
Unbelievable. Strange for me because I look at
Someone Like You from my perspective and I go you you've
a great we life. Like yeah, so I go in my head,
it's almost like I know that like everyone has their own we
mental shows. No, but I go like, why would you
need them? Because those tablets have got
me there. Yeah, it's a mask as well.
But then I then I go. Yeah, I need them, yeah.
Just give him yours. Don't mind, you can have.
This no again. Bonus mean too much there.
Yeah, I need that route like I can't be I can't be showing up
if we softly. But The thing is now is I've
stopped. I've stopped.
I obviously won't be going back to the GP for the repeat
prescription. So they might call me.
But like, where are you? Like how come you're not coming
and getting your tabs? And then you might start to feel
bad your GP messages you just go back.
On them don't want me to so I can answer their calls.
They don't answer so I should. Ring them and say like I'm
offered. That's me off.
They normally want to have a consultation which but you know,
walk. You back into.
I, I, you know what I mean. Look.
I know what I'm doing. I've come off them before.
I've been told. I know.
I've been. You get instructions.
Yeah. About how to come off them.
So you just reduce your daughters, you know?
Do what I can see for you in this new like this new under end
I can see you ban a jet ski. No, I'm not going to be buying
big purchases. No but I can just see you.
We even renting a jet ski semi regularly.
No, Julie and I are looking at camper vans.
Right. The Jets, the Jet Ski, the.
Road. What's this jet ski thing?
I just. Don't know, I just.
You just give a. Why would?
You give me why would I be associated with a jet ski?
But that's what I'm saying. You wouldn't have been, but
you've got a beard now. I can see you bearded up a jet
ski. The tablets, you wouldn't have
been on the jet ski but. Beard, listen, you know, I just
feel there's a couple of things we were talking about wanting to
do. Judy wants to move to London,
right? Right.
Yeah, this is big news. Yeah, Judy said to me.
She's really she's brought up for five.
Times she's like you mind the house, Andrew.
I'm going over there to go with someone that has depressed.
You're killing. Here.
Yeah, yeah. And she was like, say, well, you
know, we're at this point. I was like, you know, things are
good, why don't we go and try some?
So I said, I said to her, I said.
By the way, no, I'm saying no. Well.
Oh, he's against the London move.
No, I'm I'm shutting it down. No, no, he's shutting it down.
No, this is you're, you're very close to what happened.
I kind of shut it down. Yeah, but I said what about we
do two to three months somewhere in the winter.
And if I need to pop back here for certain things, I can just
two hour flight funny to pop back here every two weeks for a
day or. So what are you thinking?
Well, this is the thing and we were out in Dubai in January,
Julie's cousin lives out there and we were out to watch the
golf and stuff and it was brilliant.
It was really, really good. No listen, you know Dubai, it's
only fucking you go to know. Oh this is class enough about 5
days like I fucking hate every prick here right and then just.
Then you come home here and you're like, oh, I wish I was
over there. Again, Yes, yes, yes, yes.
It's a love hate relationship, yeah.
But I was thinking where can you go from December to end of Feb
that we could have anything between 15 and 20 degrees, 25°,
that's about two hours away and you're only looking at.
Dundee. Dundee if you're only looking at
a Lancer idea. Tenerife maybe?
Maybe Portugal. Yeah.
But Portugal has rain that's a little bit cheaper that we can
get back. In a 2 hour 2/2 and 1/2 hour
fight if I need to come home for two or three days.
I don't think any of those are 2 1/2 three hour flight.
Do you know what I mean? Where can we go to have a bit of
winter sun? But what a.
Palmer. Palmer. 2 1/2 just over 2 and
well turn off our flight. You know, then she was like,
what about to buy? And I was like, no, it's I
wouldn't do. That but but then here's the
thing you'd clean up there. Bali.
You would be. You would hear that I would.
Hear that? I went to China once.
I'm not, I'm not. Come back.
So I can't do Bali. You know me, I couldn't, I
wouldn't like Bali. I don't like China, so I
wouldn't like Bali. I was like going, I think you're
offering me white chocolate and going, I don't like prawns, so.
No, but like if we're like, but yeah, Bali is a different area,
yeah. You don't like Asia is what?
You're saying no, no, I love Asia, big fan of Asia, big fan
of Asia. But I wouldn't live there,
right? Culture shocks too much.
Yeah, it is a big, but too much. It's in Dubai, I've told them
this before. This man would be the number one
like event host guy. Oh.
Yeah, he would. Welcome to the Visa MasterCard
Sunday Lunch hosted by Andrew Ryan.
Yeah, talk to me a little bit about card progression and tap
and contactless. And he'd be doing that for free.
He'd offer services of no way because he loves all that.
Oh yes, guy, no hair. Doesn't do anything for free to
move somewhere for two months of the year, but I went to some
good. Bruce Forsythe used to do this.
Yeah. See, as soon as the weather will
call, Bruce. She was away like.
Seasonal depression, it's called.
Isn't it the sun? Right.
What would you go? Tenerife What would you do in
Tenerife? For a night, Tenerife.
What would you do but remote edit?
Here. So yeah, yeah.
Oh well, yeah. Do I still have to work?
Yeah. Oh God, See, that's that's a
real spanner in the works, isn't it?
Lucky. Yeah, a lot of a lot of my works
based here. If you put a remote stuff not.
Doing maybe? Right.
Yeah. I think that's the most I can
afford the branch out to, to be honest.
If you need to nip. Home if I need to go back to the
West, you can go back to the West pretty.
Easily, No. Yeah, you're not moving to
London. I don't know.
But here's thing, London wouldn't be the worst move
format either though in terms of like trial, because like you can
nip back here pretty easily. Let's I have a too easy here.
See if you go. What do you mean?
I don't? I don't want to nip back.
If you go, go. Yeah.
I'll be nipping back here. I have a too easy here.
I trust me. I appreciate my setup here is
great. I think Judy was talking about
that. I said no.
How about we just do we get the winter I I find it read winter
really affected me. Yeah.
And I see it's no depression. I can't really.
Affect. So do you have come with the
time you to go back on these tablets?
No, I'm gonna no, because I won't be fucking here.
This went I'll be someone. I'll be someone.
So you are. You're gonna, you're.
No, I can't because I can't do addition because me torture.
But umm. Yeah.
So that's that. No, I think I can actually, but
I have to fly back five times. Would you not just turn the heat
up in the house? Yeah, I think so.
Put the heat on. No, it's the turn.
The heat up there was 30 in the house.
You wearing? T-shirts and the shorts.
I know what you mean, it's the. Feeling you know, just take a
wee one or two week breakaway somewhere.

There's a difference. There's a difference.
So I'll give you an example. Yeah, when we went to Dubai in
January, we landed and we flew into Dubai and we stayed in
Judy's cousin's apartment on the Marina.
It was luxury. It was brilliant.
It was brilliant, right. That night we went out had the
best crack ever with them loads of ours.
We went to Irish bar was great crack, blah, blah.
Then we went to the following. We went to the golf had a great
day to golf. Then the day afterward, dinner,

next day to Sunday night. We moved into our hotel, stayed
in our hotel had a brilliant time.

Wednesday night and I went. Can we?
Should we just go now? But this is what I'm saying.
I was like I and she was like, should you just sit?
There then for the rest, just by the door.
Of two days I had to sit in the hotel for two days right and and
I and Julie was looking at me and Julie aren't we're not pool
people. We don't sit by the pool, right?

Near it and you're not Well, he's yeah, you want these guys,
they're threatened to be pool guys, want to be seen as pool
guys. Because there's.
People like Dippers, you know? People like around the pool like

That's mental to me. I've no if you said to me like
do you already beat? The last beach I've ever enjoyed
was White Rocks and Portrush. That's an unbelievable beach.
I know I find that you don't like beaches the hard way
because when we got to the Bay, I kept saying about how much I
want to go to the beach. And you went, I love the beach.
And we walked down to the beach and we got to the beach and you
went and I'm just going to go somewhere else now as we sat
down on our loungers at the beach.
It's not stimulating enough for you.
No, the journey is the Prost this journey to the beach is
what I enjoy is when you're I don't like I don't like the like
the. Journey to the beach.
He likes the idea. I like the idea of things, I
don't like the reality of them. OK, I understand.
Well, he's a number one guy for this.
OK. Man's bringing this gym gear
every day. A tour.
Romanticises. Has been nowhere near it, ever.
OK. But that isn't, and we all like
that. You know what I mean?
We're all like that. Me and him are kind of sadder
guys where we we stay in our routine I would say.
Yeah, if I, if I I, here's the thing, I don't romanticise the
idea of like, I'm this guy. And then when I get there, I go,
actually, I'm not that guy. I already know ahead of time
what guy I am in terms of. You're saying Aaron Butler is
that guy. Our Butler is our that guy.
Our Butler knows what a Butler is into.
And it's all above board. Stuff, no, it's all above board.
Stuff. It's being Jack, it's not below.
You can't call. Them.
Like if you said to me, Andrew, two weeks, Tenerife January, I'm
like, no. But here, no sight here, I need
to get back on this. You're talking about, you're
talking about being away for two or three months if you can't do
two or three weeks. So no, we're not.
I'm talking about renting an Airbnb, having a proper house,
cooking clean and doing a bit of work going.
I'm not talking about living in a hotel going to the pool.
You're doing your same day and you're seeing things, but you're
in the warm climate. But I've got, I've got my golf
clubs with me. I'm working, I'm cooking and you
know, I'm not doing the touristy things.
That's my point. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Practise, you know, proper living like.
I could see, I could see you. I think you'd have to go to
Spain. I was thinking about maybe
Italy, then I was Googling the weather there be first called.
Oh yeah, how does the radio work though?
If you're away for 2-3 months, I would.
Figure out I wouldn't. Figure out I would like.
OK. It does it.
We'll figure it out. I'm.
Sure. Q You're loving.
No, I said. Don't behold this you.
Can do it, you can do it. Because you do call in just.
Time line. And call in, yeah.
Well, in that case, why even leaving the house in bed with
the laptop, Yeah. What a traffic on the W Lincoln
disease? I don't know.
That's all I mean like. No, but I'm thinking about now.
These are just ideas. You always have these ideas.
What about America? I could not.
I'd be pulled in off the street by ice.
Yeah, you would. No, but they would let you.
Go. They wouldn't detain you.
If they detained you for 5 minutes, you'll go.
Do you know what, man? Yeah.
It's all good, you know? Yeah, all.
Your sleep score. You'll be asking to remain
detained, Yeah. Because of some constitutional
thing. And they?
'D be like, yeah, please go. Yeah, like free accommodation.
I'm like, I'm a drug dealer. No, just go, just go, just go.
Is this free? Is that?
I used to breakfast with. This man's going to do an ice
detention centre with his golf clubs.
I'll practise my pudding. Andrew took me for my first golf
session the other week. Oh, here we go.
I, I, I text Andrew last week. I was saying, Andrew, take me to
the driving range completed paddle.
Well, no, no, I haven't completed paddle because I'm
still, let me tell you something.
I've, I've a look, I have to say this.
I owe Andrew many apologies 11 because you know, when we were
on this podcast maybe a few months ago, we we sort of give
Andrew we better stick about having Phil who was his his golf
coach at the time. Yes, Matt, I've Bedell coach.
Stop saying bedell no. I have a Bedell no.
I know I got to give it the respect because the the club I
go to will be very disappointed if I don't call it best official
pop coach. I have a young boy right now.
Of course he did that. Aaron Butler knows what Aaron
Butler like. I have a young 19 year old boy.
How's he got the experience to be a coach in a sport?
It's only a couple of years, hey?
Don't you? Don't you?
Put disrespect on my coach's name, please.
OK, I know his name. Yeah.
Harry Bingham is his name. Harry Bingham.
He's.
Coaching. What you doing?
What you doing like? He's he's teaching forehand,
backhand slices, spins off the glass, on the glass behind the
net, at the net. Do you pay per lesson?
Yeah. What's a lesson called?
£45. Right.
And do you send a voice notes? No, we're not for them.
We're not that deep in it yet like the word that we're.
We're not at the level. Can I ask you a question?
How can you take a lesson off a 19 year old who's teaching you
how to play a sport that was only invented a few years ago?
How could he be qualified enough?
Wasn't invented a few years. Well, when was it invented?
Like the 80s? Right, so he was still wasn't
fucking alive. Yes.
No. I was a 19.
Year old qualified to tell you how to be better at something.
When, like, did he win the world championship?
He plays for the Ireland team. And Warren got so repentable
there, even your body language. Excuse me, but my hurry.
Yeah, I. Still represented Ireland in
golf. Ulster.
Oh. Not be funny, but there's 100
people playing paddle. There's a million people playing
golf. There's.
Actually 200. Feck, you know, it's just feck
all playing. And like and.
He's middle-aged dads who can't afford the market and the.
Way people do, to be fair. But yeah, that's where the real
athletes play is. So.
So I've I have a coach right now and he's he's.
He really improved your game. Well, here's what he said to me,
he goes on. He was you're the protege.
And I was like, what? He goes.
Sorry the 19 year old told you you're the produce.
Yeah, he said that. The 37 year old man Johnny said
he because there's like WhatsApp groups and stuff for Patel and
he said I'm going to have to go into the WhatsApp group here and
tell them there's a new dog on the yard.
And what's that mean? He goes, he goes, he goes.
They may play you now because in about a month's time, yeah,
you're unbeatable. What level?
He's never seen such a natural talent at what?
Level you at right now. And the 2.87 on the platonic
app. Out of five.
Out of seven. So by the way, that's that's
decent. So do you have to get up to 7 is
good or just beat to 0? 6 or 7, you would be like a
coach, like you'd be professional.
You're a professional player at six or seven.
What are you beat then? Oh, you're 0.7 I would say.
A beginner. Yeah.
Like they could. They could.
Change that metric. Doesn't make you feel good.
Like even if you're good, you're 2.8.
No 2.8, it's not bad for me. I'm working my way up there.
Three that I've, I've only been playing since September, so to
be at the 2.8 it's pretty good. Like out of seven, you know.
No, I just mean it doesn't sound I feel like because of how good
you are, you should be like a 7 out of 10.
I can know well it's not a tense.
I know, but I feel like this change I want them to.
Change you want them to put a tense.
OK, sorry, I'll put a recommendation suggestion that
the sport do that. But anyways.
He's telling you everything you want to hear, but then he's.
But it's not like a bit of a sales pitcher.
No, no, no. To be fair, Harry's quite a
strict coach. Feels different, definitely.
Feels. Different than the rest.
Yeah, but I see I work with Phil.
We do. But I work.
Off channel together. See.
So it's differently. Yeah.
Oh, it's different now because you roped them in to do we
channel. No, no, they asked me.
They. Asked me.
They they. No, I wouldn't because you know,
they wouldn't do it. But but anyway, we did a bit of
role play last week where I was on but.
I ask a little. Question.
We did, yeah, we did. Because I, I and I role played
as Andrew and he was Phil, right?
And he was, he was showing me his big club and all.
Weren't you Phil? And Phil was hitting my wee
balls and all, weren't I felt. Remember, he's 19 and.
Phil's not 19, no. So did you enjoy the I took him
to the range. He never hit a glass oh before.
That's what we're talking about. Thank God.
Yeah. Yeah.
No. What is coaches, Phil?
My coach is higher. What range you take him to?
Colin Glenn. Colin Glenn.
Yes, went to Colin Glen. I hit my first ever golf balls
and never had a golf ball before in my life.
And I must say he was good. Thank you.
You're being very kind. I wasn't good.
I was absolutely what? But he was very patient with me
and was very good at instructing me and taking me through what I
needed to do. I didn't think job.
Yeah, like I learned did. You enjoy it?
Yeah, I had good fun. I had a good tech.
Now the only issue is is that, you know, Andrew has been
playing since he was a team. So like Andrew is very, very,
it's a good sport for Andrew because there's so much detail.
Yeah, yeah. And he is all about detail.
I tell you. What was funny though.
It was it was quite cold, wasn't it?
And every time, like Andrew maybe had a bad ball, he was
like a cold. It was like that.
Was. And then every time he had a
good one, the good ones, the cold wasn't involved.
But every but every time he had a wee shanker, he's like, he's
like wind. That's bullshit mate, Bullshit.
Would you bring him out on the course?
No, no, not, not after what I just.
Not ready. He's not ready.
Oh no, here. Oh, definitely not.
Do you want to? At this point where maybe you
do. The course?
I don't know. I think he needs to do pitch and
put. 1st I need to do a lot. There's a lot of work tell you
what I do enjoy, though, I've the golf on the VR headset
night. That's that's I think that's the
optimal experience way to do it because you know you're not
getting the UV rays from the weather age in your skin.
I also feel like you know you're getting you're still getting to
see some beautiful sights on the VR headset.
You don't have to leave your house, so you're saving money on
fuel there. Also you don't have to buy 4000
LB clubs. Andrea has a lot of expensive
clubs. It's a rich man's I can get
optimal golf players. It's.
The same thing. Practically the same thing.
What's? Your paddle.
Paddle depends on what sessions you go to.
I'll say this, I do think golf is more expensive than padel, of
course. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We're going to talk with this guy's Mandela show.
Guy, I thought I was there. I even forgot Andrew was there.
Andrew did we spot for 5 minutes, so he did.
He came, he was great. I was in.
You were away Sweden or something?
You were? Yeah, In.
Stockholm Calvin told us all about your travels, by the way,
and it was stressing me and this guy out.
Oh man, you missed planes that talk to me.
Talk to. Me before we get into Mandela,
let's talk about here we we were.
This is right up my street. Well, we lost the light.
This is no, this is the mood less it's a ghost.
This is this is when we tell Andrew about this.
Guy oh hold on fault now you know when false we keep all the.
Direct this people. We could be a people like the
rawness of this. And there's one guy we associate
of rawness. It's Michael Fox.
Oh. No.
Oh, we need. We need the brightness.
I'm going to tell. I'm going to tell you and you.
Oh, there we go. There we go.
We're back. So.
Stressed. We are in Paris going to
Amsterdam, all right from Paris going to Amsterdam.
Flight or train? Flight.
We're going to do breakfast in the airport.
So these are these are rough times.
We're busy, like 8:00 AM meeting in the lobby for a 1030 flight,
something like that. Everything's worked out to be
all good. We'll meet in the lobby.
I get a alert from the airline. Your plane is delayed until 1:00
PM, Right. So I said we'll look.
What? We'll just get breakfast here in
the hotel, everyone. Yeah, I'm starving.
We got our breakfast in the hotel.
Take our time. Still in good time.
Get an Uber to the airport. As we're getting in the Uber,
another alert from the airline. Now your plan's on time, so you
can go the original time. We wouldn't have been at the
airport in that time. So can I get your unbiased view
on how we played that and would you have made the same mistake?
And a plane being delayed is only a guide, it's not true
like. So Andrew again, just I might.
Have been in the air for for 9:00.
Yeah, to play devil's advocate, say, say for example, you're in
Shane's scenario here. So his plane gets led to one.
Maybe it was originally meant to take off at 11 or whatever.
And do you still have to be in the airport for your designated
time even if you're playing and you know ahead of time it's the
lead to 1? Because I I would say you
probably still have to be at your original cheque in time,
no? So what they could have done is
they could have found another plane to fill that gap for you.
So your actual plane would have been delayed.
But they said, actually we can use another plane that's on the
tarmac to go to Amsterdam instead and reroute the staff
and reroute the pilots. So like while it is delayed,
you're still have to be there because how many times you see
flight delayed 3 hours? Oh, actually it's not.
It's we're actually going there because they may have changed
the plane or changed the staff or stuff.
Yeah. I mean, So what happened was we
had the rebirth on the spot, but just the difference of what it
was against the original fare. Do you know what I mean?
So it wasn't that much more, but we had to go via Frankfurt.
So Paris, Frankfurt, Frankfurt. He lost a full day travel.
Hmm, lost a good few hours anyway.
OK. How long was the flight from
Paris to Frank Frankfurt? Like an hour and a half.
And then what was it Frankfurt to?
An hour, it was like a one hour and a one hour really wasn't.
It wasn't long, didn't lose loads of time, OK, but it was a
bit of stress. During the ends, I can see why
you stayed behind like any normal person would have stayed
behind. If you're told 1:00, yeah, but
also there's a city. I personally, I don't trust that
because I've been in situations where I've been in the airport,
your flights delayed two hours and then you go stay here for
two hours and in 20 minutes later actually go to Gate 7 now.
Yeah. So you kind of like a guide, but
I still wouldn't trust it. But hey, it there's a bit of bad
luck there. I wouldn't.
Do you know what I'm doing more and more?
See, when I'm in an airport and you look up at the thing and it
says it changes and it goes go to gate a 32.
Yeah, I go straight there, right.
I do go there like. Yeah.
That I used to always go. I used to say let them go, yeah.
And then I would order food for a second.
No, no, you go man, because you. Don't go nice.
Don't get going to get you on quicker these days.
You're on Quickener. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And you know what I started doing?
People like this, this, this sort of chap.
People like getting in the reads of it.
Yep, Yep. Say I'm going away for more than
two days, a three day trip. I know.
Check in the suitcase. That wouldn't have been me.
That was never me. I was a backpack guy.
Wow, So you know, I like why I like the options of what they
wear. I'm not bringing loads of stuff,
but it's given me options to give me a spare pair of shoes.
It's give me a spare pair of shoes.
I totally and so I can bring snackies.
I'm going to tell you something even crazier.
You're going to hit even if I'm away a day I'm checking.
In no mental. No, I'm you check.
I'm always the check in bag. Is that because you like going
through the airport with no baggage?
I like. That I also like not having to
like put my we toiletries and we clear plastic bags, not even
though they're doing less that now because they've got the new
scanners in the airport. But like all that, like I just I
just think it's so much less now.
It's a bit more pricey and expensive but I'd prefer a check
them back like and then more. More the carousel.
But I don't mind that we wait. That's usually, you know, 10
minutes at most. The the and then also because
I'm playing some so many pedal games and international what
because I'm an international player now the I'm I'm always I
always have the record in case now, you know, my coach told me
to do that. He said I got to be bringing
that record all the time because it's him, you know, just in
case. Just for context guys, paddle
racket sort of this size man has a.
Case So you're going over to London to do a gig, but you've a
paddle racket just in case. Well, look, I.
Heard you gonna be walking on pilly licky circuses and some
look at all game game you're. So annoyed you fucked up sick.
What might he say? I didn't.
Say. Pet killing so annoying.
No, but man, I'll know ahead of time if I'm going to be playing
a game or not because. You're walking around for Fogger
Square the paddle, right? Fucking the palace?
Yeah, you were your palace trying to play the king man.
So yeah, look, I all guys, I just, I think I checked in bags
the way to go. No, I think, I think it's a
waste of money. You waste of time, you're
supposed. To be in Dubai like no he.
Got home last night. You still cross.
No. You know, if anything.
Just there's worse things happening than me being in the
way like. That's a given, right?
And you're also being like, no as good.
He wasn't there. No, I totally I don't believe he
should have gone to a cancelled event in a war zone.
I mean. By the way, the event didn't get
cancelled. The gig still went.
To the gig still went ahead. To just use local comedians.
Really. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Imagine, imagine doing that gig and just not addressing.
I just doing a gig watching the missiles like so who's drinking
tonight? No one.
Yeah, like, I don't know what the audiences would have been
like for those. I got a message off somebody
going, are you not coming out this?
So there was, you know, people buying tickets to come and see
me. And then the first gig was in
the Friday night. They've been, I don't know, for
two. Two, you let the audience down,
right? Long story short, anyway,
somebody messaged me goes are you still appearing tonight?
And Dubai and I went and I replied hi.
And no, I'm not sure if you're aware, but you know, at the
airports on fire. Yeah, I'm not.
I'm in Ireland safe. And like the guy never replied
was like, mate, like how am I the bad guy here?
Like how am I the bad guy for not being there?
If you wanted. To it's unbelievable, like the
the way somebody get on like like it's like fucking I feel
guilty now that I didn't entertain somebody while there
was bloody drones going off like.
The time and though like if it was a week later, yeah, yeah,
you'd have been just stuck out there.
Can I just say if I was stuck in there?
Would have been a ceasefire. Honestly, there would have been
a if he's in the middle of a runabout.
If I was in Dubai and I was getting bombed, I was on
Instagram Live 24. 11. Do you know what I'm the kind of
guy walks towards? I'm walking towards the bombs.
I'm the kind. Of guy just medication in hand,
sinking it down. Do you want to play golf?
Trump's not going to bomb a golf course, is he?
Loves. I don't think he was bombing
Iran. Whoever was bombing Iran,
whoever is bombing who? By Aaron Your Mandela Hall show
was that Let's get there. That was your, that was your.
It was your night. That was a lovely.
Big night. Yeah, sure.
I always feel it feels great, but then I also feel like a wee
bit like weird too because I'm not used to those big nights.
And then I also, I also feel a wee bit make a wishy where
people are a wee bit like, that was good, well done you.
And I'm always like, I was like, I'm Peter.
I just get paranoid where I go. Are people enjoying?
Are people just humouring me? Well, my dad thought it was
great. You're I didn't know your dad
was there until Calvin showed me a photo and there he was in the
audience having a great old time the the yes.
So thank you to Dennis for coming.
I appreciate. It he said you're brilliant and
he would be honest. Oh, I know he would.
Jay, he said you were great. I can't believe he bought a
tech. I would have put him on the
gases had he known he was going to go.
But that's that's Dennis for you.
Good kind soul heart, man. So, yeah, loved it.
Had a great time. Mandela's also was one of those
ones where the timing was very weird because they were laughing
at like loads of the setups and stuff and when they're doing
you're like, oh, when they'll go in with the punch here and
things so. But I had a great night.
It was really great fun. Dave had a great support set,
Andrew. Set up good fun.
Yeah, very, very happy with how it went.

don't want to get the sweats as well, you know, the meaty.
Sweats here, even a wee Margarita.
You're happy enough. No, I'm done with pizza.
You're just you're a big pizza guy.
I'm a big pizza guy. I'm still I'm still good with it

I don't. Know no, it's just it's just got
specific hours. It's Wednesday.
Thursday. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
Saturday, lunchtime from noon to 2:00 and then they do collection
orders Friday and Saturday night.

years. Well, that that was because.
I would have fused. But no, sorry, you've different
reasons for not going to Senate. He is one with cinema because

light them up. Like you see if you'd be all
right. Yeah, see him.
No, whatever people eat. Crisps.
Oh crisps. Oh my God, no.
Pop digging into the pop. No.
Libraries don't go to libraries. Why?
Because I'm expecting people to be quiet.
Yeah. And then when they're not quite,
I lose my mind, right? I thought libraries were always.
No, they're not minded. The library in Hollywood very
nicely. Is it right?
I would didn't know one of those for the kids.
Probably some school group and then a fucking reading.
To fucking library like. Yeah.
IKEA furniture, I haven't built any for years, Right.
Don't do that anymore and don't do pizza anymore.
Yeah. And yeah, it's kind of like the
list is adding up. Yeah, yeah.
But yeah, pizza now. What what about the IKEA?
You just you lose a head. I like going in for the dinner.
Do you like the food and IKEA? You're the only, you're the only
guy just going for the meatballs.
I just go for dinner and come home.
Yeah, if Judy was away now, I'd just go over there and get me
dinner. Because it is cheap.
It's cheap, very affordable getting.
Fish and chips with peas. You get meatballs.
A5 6 LB full meal. I drive to IKEA go and get me
dinner and drive hot. If you look at into.
Fish and chips with meatballs or.
Whatever. Whatever you get by.
The way whatever you get to my man going for the pensioner.
Special fish, chips and mushy peas.
Yeah, whatever you get. Like, yeah, great place for a
dinner. No, I'm not.
Looking at nothing. Have you ever had the dime cake?
Oh, it's good. Yeah, that's, that's one of the
best desserts there is. Yeah.
Yeah, the dime cake, the settle in there is on.
I used to love dime bars. See a dime bar?
I can taste it right there. Now, I used to love a dime bar
and one's not enough. Wasn't big.
Into the part, but the cake is good you.
Wouldn't like a dime bar? No texture of it, No.
It's too like it's really hard. Isn't it?
See, if you turn it the other way and you lick it, it feels
like it's Vienna. You're very sexual with this.
This is making me. No, but it feels like Vienna, so
you can pretend. Feel like there's other things
if you wanted to get like a Vienna suck.
On like. Vienna suck, yeah.
Really nice. So you'll put IKEA food into
your body, but you'll not put lovely pizza into your body.
No, it's just, I think Judy loves the loves pizza and I just
kind of go, I'm done with it. No, and I'm to be honest with
you, and I've said it before and I'll say it again, there isn't
one good Chinese takeaway in Northern.
Ireland. Oh, I see, they say.
Sorry, no. No, no, no, there is.
Food bloggers, right? I don't.
Want to drop? I don't want to drop you.
I'll jump. In I'll let you finish.
Can you not let me? Finish in a minute.
Can you not let? Me Beyoncé had the greatest
album. OK, a couple of things here.
Number one, repeat that statement.
In my 5 years living here I haven't had one good Chinese
takeaway. No in my I said on the radio and
everyone was sending me in like oh do this Chinese.
Jerry Labs loves his Chinese takeaways right?
So Jerry laughs took me to he said this is the best Chinese
takeaway in Belfast. We went to it stinking and even
Jerry agreed that it was stinking.
I have not had a good Chinese takeaway since I've lived here
and I'm stand by it. It's not.
It's not good enough. OK, can I tell you some?
Yeah. Last night I had.
I was going to cook last night for Mother's Day, right?
It's going to cook for my wife and and.
She's not your owner. Naked.
Chef Well, you hear something you don't know about me, don't
judge, right? But I said, you know, for the
kit, you know, the kids are going to make your dinner sort
of thing. It's me, it's me.
Umm, I'm interested. Umm, I meant ovulating.
Yeah, both. Weird for me to do either, but
yeah, listen, I might have been, I might have been becoming you
with pizza. In terms of Chinese, I was
getting to the point where I was going, Hmm, few more misses than
hits recently. OK.
In terms of Chinese. Yeah.
Right. So last night I said, look,
I'll, I'll make the dinner. My wife said you know what,
you'll be travelling. I was coming back from London
yesterday. She went just get Chinese.
I'd like, I'd like to just get a Chinese.
And I went, that's perfect. And I had heard that there was a
Chinese in our glass, right, that is renowned.
And I go on the way to our glass to pick up a Chinese.
I did and it started. On how long drive is that?
Ages started off bad, right? Because I phoned it and at the
ring and call back and ring and call back and it went on for
ages. I get there, the boys are in the
car. I said we're here 2 seconds.
I run in, it's not ready. I'm going, no, I don't leave
them in the car. It's kind of cold.
I don't like leaving them in the car.
So then I went, I'll go and get them and bring them in.
Oh, I go and get them. I bring them in.
Sitting there for ages and there's people who have ordered.
I phoned ahead 15 minutes before.
I know some kind of terrorist either there's people who
ordered in the place and are getting it before me.
See that stuff, right? No, but, but Andrew, my head's
gone, right? And I go, this isn't even going
to be good. And I've heard all you have to
go to this Chinese, you have to go to this Chinese.
We're there for another 10-15 minutes.
It's getting near what would be their bedtime.
But the, the, you know, they don't have school today.
So we're like, all right, and I'm starting to lose the head of
it. And I'm not one for going up,
just checking on that order. I'm like, well, it's not going
to make a difference. I see one bag of Chinese sitting
behind the guy. And I went up and I went, mate,
just checking. I was like, you're doing this.
Is there any chance I didn't miss a call for she and Dida?
And he's like, yeah, cheers. It had been sitting there for 10
minutes. Easy.
So I get it and my head's gone. Get in the car, drive home.
It's not that warm when we get it home.
It was without doubt the best Chinese meal I've ever had in my
entire life. It was absolutely sensational,
sensational. The chicken was beautiful.
The chips were done just right there with the right colour.
They were done just right. The fried rice was actually
still warm by the time I got it. And see when I mix it all
together and see after, I didn't even feel like, you know,
sometimes you eat like a big Chinese and you're like, I
didn't even feel like I felt good after.
It was unbelievable. There you go.
And it's worth the drive and I'm going to take you sometime
because they also have a set in, but.
Patreon special What do you 3 boys go get Chinese at our
glass? What do you think of that?
Take me now. We're getting into Bush
territory. But but.
What's? That food.
Reviews. Does that.
We're not doing that. No, I, Andrew.
I have. What's?
That Bush. Perfect.
Yeah, absolutely perfect. Yes.
Thank you. I, I, I, I'm sorry, but you
know, I, I have to say it to believe it.
Yeah, you will. I've tried a lot of different
chineses in Belfast. Hey I thought acceptable mate.
I don't see some of them are not acceptable.
You're right, you're right. I thought the same.
I went to a Chinese recently and the guy was so abrasive and I
gave my order we need to collect it and I went picking up for
Andrew there and he just went like just threw it in front of
me like 1950 / 20. We heard you on the radio,
that's why. No.
And then I got it and went home. And I said to Julius, it's
Christ. Don't be wrong.
They're all 7 out of 10, right? OK, you're looking for that.
I'm looking for. I was looking for and I find.
I want to wake up the following morning going.
Have you got any more rice leftover?
Big, strong boner, yeah. Yeah.
With the health, the pills, yeah, you know, yeah.
That's what I'm saying. But honestly, the Chinese I had
last night, you know the way sometimes if you're like, you're
getting honey chilli chicken or salt and chilli chicken, Yeah,
when you're caught into it, a lot of it is like the batter or
the whatever, you know, there's actually not that much chicken
inside it. This is all chicken.
Saying W Belfast has some great Chinese is like, I ain't going.
I can't lie, somebody's not in the gravy game anymore.
It seems that when it comes to gravy, I don't doubt W Belfast
is like years ahead. Oh, it's it's the gravy in West
Belfast. Yeah, is unbelievable.
Like tar? What is it about gravy in West
Belfast that's different? You could honestly do a rule
with it. Yeah.
Really. Yeah, Yeah.
Why? Why did they have such an
affiliation to Gravy? This is the Protestants kept it
from us from so many years that yeah, that was what was all
about really, the GFA Gravy Friday agreement, you know?
I tell you've been serious there for a second.
I. Thought no, no, it's just
comedy. I don't get jokes.
So honestly, honestly, a Chinese I had last night was. 10 out of
10 cash only. Cash only, perfect has to be.
Tell you something. Has to be, you know the way
sometimes a lot and just potted out with edge you don't want.
Yeah, there wasn't that much veg, but the stuff that there
was was actually really nice and I normally bend the veg off the
one side, actually give me a veg to.
Bend the veg well, like the onions and peas, no.
Not even like you get like onions and carrots and shoots
and stuff. But it was it was life changing.
Brilliant man, Delighted. Fair.
Absolutely. Yeah.
And I'll take you. We've got, we've got some like
Travers to go for Chinese. Yep, Yep.
Succulent Chinese made oh. Yeah, Yeah.
He died. No, that's what he's dead now.
Yes, he died, yeah. Oh, he died.

Go with you. I played a blinder by mistake.
So I am doing America in May turn their mate and I couldn't
get the room I wanted in New York for that time.
They went. You can only get that in June.
So you want to move the tour to June, but the kids will be off
school and I don't want to go in the summer, so I went.
Here's what we'll do. Keep all the original dates and
I'll do New York as a thing by itself.
So I will be in New York the time of the World Cup.
What, this 24th or something of June?
I think the game is something like Germany, Ecuador, that's in
New York at the same time. I'll be tight that.
What do you mean? A tough game game, all right.
I think any game be good, like, yeah, I think it's in New Jersey
maybe. Won't be a lot of Ecuador fans
there. Trump on element.
You're right, they'll be in Germany shirts.
Like, yeah, the Derby just dressed as ICE agents don't get
lifted, Yeah. So I'm so I'm might try and tie

Not so. I'm trying to do Sydney Comedy
Festival next May. Yeah.
So my tour runs in the UK and Ireland until April next year.
We're trying tie in Sydney for the month.
I'm going to go for three weeks. Judy wants to go as well.
And then I'm going to go back out again in October for the
Rugby World Cup and do solo shows around the World Cup.
And then so I'm just I said general fuck it, I want to start
doing I was, but I think I think of a way into an American visa.
I think I think I've got my way in.
OK, the DUP. Oh no.
Can help me get an American visa?
Right. I'm a little pen galley.
Sign off for. You.
I did a gig recently for Emily. DP.
For the D, no, not for. Him.
He's about to say he was. I genuinely was.
I did a gig for the emergency services.
OK, It's called the Emergency Services Awards, right?
So there was lots of Ian Paisley, Junior Eminent, Penn
Galley, the Alliance Party, but the whole rack were there, right
PSNI, all that, the hostage negotiators, ambulance.
How bad was the set? Had a great gig.
Someone said to me, I had a great gig and the guy doing the
photography said to me, said to me, all those MLAs that you're
talking to, I was chatting to them and stuff.
Said like they're the guys, I'll get you your visa to America
because they have links with the American investor.
She said just e-mail and say that.
Can you be a reference for me? Who's your reference, Deputy
First Minister? I think you'd not have a
problem. Do you see what?
I'm saying, and you would definitely just get a visa by a
plan. Yeah, yeah, I think you're well
qualified to apply for the visa. Yeah, I think so.
But I wouldn't need like a DUP or just just to say like this
guy, this guy with all communities you can fit in, like
absolutely. Yeah, yeah.
You think of the contacts you could get for a visa.
Yeah, I need references, don't I?
Yeah. Yeah, I'm going.
To get them, start e-mail and MLA is.
You could get a reference easy. I'm going to get you.
Can I use you for a reference? Yeah.
Oh, no, no, don't. It's Chinese.
Eh, so I'm, I'm currently in the process, don't really start in
that process to get the American visa.
Yeah, you'll get it. I want to do, I want to take
over America, man. Right.
OK. I wouldn't take that.
On the form that that's why. Yeah, yeah, honestly.
Live in. Fucking live in.
Yeah, Cincinnati. And all that like.
You bought it live in Cincinnati.
Are live in. Why was your first place?
Starting small? Yes.
Live in Utah, Denver. OK, Denver is a good place here.
Denver, Co. Yeah, that's Denver.
Mississippi in. Denver, Mississippi.
Yep, San Francisco and finishing up headline set LA on Tuesday I.
Do in LA in A50 seater, yeah. 2 for one Tuesday.
I love it. It never sells well but I just
love. To never see I take.
I do 50 seater. It seems like a dead hole.
I got my ticket sales for the US there not a great Canada I'm I'm
the biggest I'm the biggest comedy I can count a good
Canadian I may be the biggest comedy I can Canada great The
difference between sales and Canada sales in America and.
That's mad. Why is that, you think?
It's probably more Irish, there's not more Irish people in
Canada, but the Irish community I think in Canada get closer
together. So maybe word spreads you're
coming to do. It they're a bit more intuitive.
Because we do this place called the Biltmore Cadbury in
Vancouver, which a brilliant room, but it's like a 300 seater
and it just like it just went. So we're not doing not a show.
Really. Yeah, and.
Toronto is not the similar. And then the.
Big cities in America where it's like, you've sold nine.
I was like, fuck, 900. They're like. 9. 9.
It'll be OK closer to the time, but I just mean Canada out of
the gates for me is like massive.
I'll try that. You're going to do Canada?
Do all the kind of Judy wants to go to the Rockies in the camper
van. Right.
Have we done the Rockies? I fly there first and then get
the company. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What's the Rockies then?
Rocky Mountains, isn't it? Yeah.
No, I've been to Denver, been seen like in the distance.
Is Aaron Butler going to tour with the show after No Mandela,
we're finger get out there. Yeah.
Well, I'm basically, as I was saying to you earlier of this
panel show BBC that is currently in the ether, that we're trying
to figure out what happens with it next.
Once we figure out what happens with it next, then I'll figure
out when I'm going to do like some more solo dates that'll be
a bit more regional. Yeah, but I want to get that
figured out first and then we'll move.
On I can see you on a wee Vespa. Yeah.
Can you see that? Up and down Northern Ireland and
we Vespa. Yeah, for your tour, yeah.
I have a car I could just. No, I want you to sell.
But what are you going to fit the You want me to stick in the
Vespa? You have to like tie it to your.
Back it's a record. Can we give it?
Pop respect. Can I ask you a question?
You know, please, you know, you know, paddle players.
Do you have like, Christmas parties?
They do have one at the club. They all like just shagging each
other. I don't believe they are, no.
I think they're just a nice. Way you know the way like.
You know what those paddle players like?
You know what those? Swinging paddle.
You know what I mean? Like they're all sweaty.
And each other are trying. To get fit like and they're all,
oh, you play paddle and they're all fucking going to.
And as we bit culty, I get we. Yeah, you know what I mean?
It can be a wee bit called. People do CrossFit and high
rocks and all that. Oh, yeah, you High rocks, New
line paddle. Are you CrossFit?
Oh, CrossFit. So 2006, yeah, you know, it's
High Rocks paddle. Yeah, yeah, I.
Mean yeah, what's coming next? Like what's what you?
What's next? You think?
So what's the next thing? There's always.
All Well, yeah, there'll be another sport or there'll be
another like, what's that pitchy, pitchy coin pitchy
Kirby's going to be. Big no.
But you know what I'm saying is there's always something that
says we're always moving, aren't we?
So there was cross first running will always be the base
Foundation Half marathon 10K. That you're calling that early
running is always going to be. Big No.
Road running is always going to be big.
Then you're going into CrossFit was big, that was high rocks,
that was paddle like. What happened to the old
traditional badminton and squash?
Like squash seems like it's it's neglected.
Squashes. I broke squash down in Colonia
as part of the tour and we have one or two balls and I went.
Me, Calvin and Jordy booked it and I just went hang on to the
gym. I just left him.
You did a ham at the beach. Yeah, I just, I just walked.
Sometimes you don't feel that. Like I went, this is.
Work, You got? What's the shuttle?
Cocktail? Badminton.
You got Badminton squash. Pickle balls.
And they're still like. They're they're like the two of
the most loyal Rocket Sports that never get the that never
get the respect that it deserved.
It's always there, but it's never.
Was an 80s thing. Hasn't went away.
Do you know what I mean? From a handball against the
ball, yes, hit the ball against. Thank you.
For the demonstration as well, but.
What I'm saying, you know, you have all these traditional ones,
badminton and squash, which I think are the core and you're
running will always be the court and you get the new fucking.

I will get there and I'll apologise for my comments then

Chinese in our glasses we have it's.
Been convened in three. Months we have to do the work.
How? Do we let them know we just want
to come and film this for a thing because there's so much
pressure on us to like it. I if I do it, I want us to do
it. Honestly, I don't want you at
the end like it was great but you didn't enjoy it.
I'd rather just. I'll just get a take away.
I'll just not eat that day, so no matter what, I'll like it.
Why don't you organise a take away?
Don't tell them we'll eat it in someone's house or we need it in
the car and we if it's really bad we won't name the place.
Can I say this just because he was about stuff about stuff he
hits? I hate when people do that food
reviewing in the car. Absolutely.
I don't get the food review guys.
You keep such a clean car. Well, that and also, yeah, it's
just it gives me like a bit of a vehicle, like when people are
like licking their fingers and all and getting stuff I'm.
Going to take away weight at my house, yeah.
Right. Yeah.
Could I just check my heart rate?
Please, we need to before we depart, we need to get. 66 it's

You will maybe have a week or. Maybe have a week let's.
See. But for now, I just guys get
your tickets to the Paul Hughes fight.
We're in camp at the minute and we are deep in the I I'm, I've
been just doing loads of drills, no loads of drills.
What happened is the boys seen what I was doing on the courts
and they were like, how can you bring that in the art camp for
this? Like Paul needs something less
like you. Like we're seeing an animal.
I'm like, guys don't want to just leave him with me.
So he's in good hands, you. Actually work with him.
Yeah, well, like what, two days a week?
Fight Academy Iron shout to Liam Shannon for having me in.
What are you doing with him? Just like loads of like
different mindsets stuff and drills and things.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Can I come and watch one? Yeah, yeah.
What are you doing? Like get him to visualise and
stuff. Yeah, getting them to like,
think about the walk out, think about like where his mentality
is like heading into the fight, his opponent against them, like
all that stuff like. But.
How are you doing that? Do you feel very natural?
Jamie Conlon sorted out. He he because I play with him.
We sent. Do you?
But like, obviously you've not had a fight, but it's just the
main. Yeah, it's just like how to like
your mentality not only when you're winning, but when you're
losing and what way you react to that as you're in the middle of
the the contest, you know, so you're going to see an animal
out there. Are you walking?
Into the ring. What's my birthday?
It's on. It's on the day.
Am I You're. Doing the ring walk.
I, I'm going to, well, I'm not going to be doing the ring walk.
No, no, no, because he's only allowed three by the side this
time. So he has his main coaches, Liam
Shannon and stuff will be doing it, but I'll probably be three
of us, 233 of us still. His mindset coach.
Yeah, yeah. That's amazing.
I Yeah, yeah. Is that which something you want
to do more of? I think getting Indian sports
psychology has always been a big passion to my I just want to
just keep keep that up and genuinely class.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So do you know what?
When you were starting that story, I thought there was a
punch line coming. No, no, no, no.
But actually, mate, that is tough Notch.
Thank you. I appreciate it.
That's. Brilliant, yeah.
Anyway, so shout to Paul. He's going to have a great
fight. What do you see that knockout
this guy is going to get on the first round?
Yeah, with my help. Would you you send him voice
notes and stuff? At the all time, yeah, we'd
exchange some stuff, like just just some, like just again, how
he's feeling, what emotions he's going through, you know, how we
can control that, what we can't control the variables.
But yeah, it's going to be a fun night for Belfast and it's on
and it's on my birthday. I'll be 37 on the day of the
Nice. Think we could?
Send Paul a quick voice note before we finish up.
I'll do it. Yeah.
Yeah, Paul. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah. No, no, I don't need to like.
You don't embarrass. You don't embarrass the serious
shit. But that is class.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hopefully it goes well for you.
I'm going to hopefully come down and watch.
You know what? You're not going to be there.
I actually think I'm thinking, are you?
I'm in Derry that night. He's just ring box on quarter
one. I know we did an app don't.
Don't you? Don't you joke.
We did an app last week. We think we probably will go.
Are we going? I think we'll go.
My birthday. When I'm going as on are you?
I'm off tonight, yeah. You're ready going to do to come
with us. I'll go with whoever like.
You want to come with us or not go with you?
Can I say my nephew is We're looking at getting somebody to
work with him on his mindset? No, I'm serious.
You've got a top level and he's. Going over to Arsenal now in a
couple of weeks or he's going to play against Arsenal and my
brother said that this is a big year for him and he's had a
really good season so far and we're looking at getting.
What would you say to him? Well, I think he's 15, isn't he?
1515? See, that's a very difficult age
to work with just because, you know, they've so much of A life
ahead of them that you've got to really ground them a little bit
and make sure that they know. Basically it's about taking the
pressure off them at that age because they've so much come
through school, puberty, family expectation.
And the best way to get them to perform is to just try clear the
head of all that and tell them, hey, you know, regardless of
what happens on the day, you know, don't detach your work
from your value. If your family, your friends do
whatever the outcome of the result is just you play your
best game and play the game that you enjoy.
That's what I would give them the I just.
Said that one. Say it here.
Just say you actually. Would you mind if I I'm playing
this, I come back Saturday morning from 2:00.
If we have a match in Saturday afternoon with like, don't maybe
I don't mind if I give you a call.
You give me a call on the way there.
Do you remember when you were boxing the fact who you were
