You're very welcome along. 16 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,520 I don't know what episode this is of the pod. 17 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:53,160 I feel like this is maybe episode 15 or 16 or something 18 00:00:53,160 --> 00:00:56,640 like that, but same old pod, same old beverage. 19 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,400 Look at the size of this cup. I'm not bragging, but I have a 20 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:05,519 big black cup and I'm drinking some straight up tea out of it. 21 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,800 I also have this little coaster. I don't know if I've talked 22 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,040 about this in the podcast before. 23 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,280 I got this coaster, which is like, you can only obviously see 24 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:16,200 this on the video podcast in Smithfield Shopping Centre 25 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,760 behind Castle Court. Smithfield's one of those weird 26 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,120 places if you've never been to it. 27 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,960 Oh, by the way, there's like a retro football shop there where 28 00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:26,200 I got that coaster. Smithfield, if you, if you've 29 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,520 never been to it, it's beside Castle Court. 30 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,640 And I just realised when I went to describe it, the only way you 31 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,600 can describe Smithfield is it's probably been around for, I 32 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,360 don't know, hundreds of years. It's a sort of place if you 33 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:44,040 wanted to get nunchucks and Filipino food, you could get it 34 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,600 there 1000% probably in the same shop. 35 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:51,120 The sale like old army military gear, like I'm pretty sure you 36 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,480 could probably get some Nazi gear if that's what you're into. 37 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,000 And then also the sale like martial arts gear and there's 38 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,400 like a trophy shop. And probably there would 39 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,720 definitely be a, there would definitely be a place that sells 40 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,160 bird food in there. I don't know. 41 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,919 I don't know what the theme is of Smithfield Market, but it's a 42 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,880 wee bit of everything and then some other things. 43 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:19,360 Let's just say, I mean, there's things I think you could get 44 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,920 there that would not strictly be legal, but I'm not you. 45 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,760 I just mean like, I don't even think the people would know that 46 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,840 they weren't legal. Like there's definitely, there's 47 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,280 definitely guys with shops at Smithfield Market and you'd be 48 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,080 like, mate, I don't know if you can sell this. 49 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,200 And he's like, what's wrong with you? 50 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,840 Well, it's a war. It's an undetonated World War 2 51 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,160 bomb, mate. So I don't think you can sell 52 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:40,920 it. He's like, alright, I was going 53 00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:44,800 to sell you out and sell you out in the multi pack of Iron Brew. 54 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,160 That's a vibe of Smithfield. That banter's very niche. 55 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,680 But for anyone that's been the Smithfield market, you'll be 56 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,520 going, yes, this is what I've always wanted someone that just 57 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,360 riff on Smithfield. I don't know, I like it. 58 00:02:55,920 --> 00:02:59,560 Smithfield market. I think I got a pair of camping 59 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,560 boots or something there whenever I was going away with 60 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,240 school years ago. Smithfield market. 61 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,720 Ah, Belfast. You know what, it's been not 62 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,160 long since I've been in the Belfast because because of the 63 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:15,600 old lacked up that I'm I'm missing Belfast as a city. 64 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,200 And I've always, I've always liked Belfast. 65 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,280 You know, I like Belfast as a city. 66 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:27,360 I think it's a good place, but I don't I never thought I had that 67 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,840 much of an attachment to it. And then I was just thinking, 68 00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:33,720 God, I probably, I'm in Belfast, I don't know, four days a week 69 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,640 and a message, I missed the Goths in City Hall. 70 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,880 And I mean, what are they, what are they doing though? 71 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,480 Where are they got? Can we please check in on the 72 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,960 Goths that used to sit in City Hall where they congregate And 73 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,800 do they just have, they just built themselves benches in 74 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,480 their gardens? I mean, they won't be out today 75 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,160 because the sun's out. But yeah, I, I like to think 76 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,280 that. I like to think Belfast City 77 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,120 Consult on the right thing and given benches just like 78 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:08,280 temporarily to the golfs so they can just sit at the back like 79 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,600 golfs at City Hall. God, I miss those guys. 80 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,480 I love those guys. I mean, I love them and you know 81 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,120 they don't. They wouldn't love me, you know 82 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,800 what I mean? They wouldn't love my style, 83 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:24,040 they wouldn't love my haircut. But yeah, because obviously they 84 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:30,480 hit every time. I mean, the thing about those 85 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,280 golf says, I don't know what age they are. 86 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,200 I feel like the same ones have always been there, and yet 87 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,840 somehow they're the range from between 14 to 37. 88 00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:42,880 And there's one guy who's like 56 and shouldn't be there, but 89 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,520 he's there, you know, like, he's probably not a goth, but he's 90 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,560 like, oh, opportunity. You know, I don't know what I'm 91 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:57,480 saying, but I just miss those guys, the Goths at City Hall. 92 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:02,200 Oh my God, take, take me back.

I remember whenever I was in 97 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,960 tech, we used to just in our lunch breaks, just walk around 98 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:25,280 city centre because we went to Millfield, which is besides 99 00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:28,480 Smithfield Market, funny enough and near enough. 100 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,320 And yeah, people don't want that podcast content, me debating for 101 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,800 more than three seconds how far away tech is to Smithfield 102 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,200 Market. But I remember we were standing 103 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:42,440 outside WH Smith in on Royal Ave in Belfast City centre and this 104 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:47,560 guy just strolled out with about 60 brand new Harry Potter DVDs, 105 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,960 like whatever Harry Potter film was out that day or week. 106 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,160 He just walked past us and he just winked and went and and 107 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:55,160 that's her. It's done. 108 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:56,880 And then just Sprint it down Royal Ave. 109 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,520 And I've thought about that guy every day since then. 110 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,760 Every day since then, I have thought about that guy and if 111 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,960 he's watching hope you've got your shit together. 112 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,400 I mean, he's maybe just like he's in. 113 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,160 I mean, for all I know he paid for it and he's just a major 114 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,400 Harry Potter fan and he's like, I'm going to burn through these. 115 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,360 So may as well get more than one shout out to that guy and shout 116 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,960 out to Harry Potter.

And then JK Rowling was like, 123 00:06:34,280 --> 00:06:37,240 oh, we're bringing on new books and they're 700 pages. 124 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:42,360 And I went, no, you know, I said, and she said, no, there's, 125 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,200 there's more pages, There's more of a story. 126 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,920 And I was like, no, I don't read books that big. 127 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:54,840 And then I just, you know, start stealing cars instead, but be a 128 00:06:54,840 --> 00:06:57,280 Harry Harry Potter was a was a fucking great guy. 129 00:06:57,280 --> 00:07:00,360 I mean, that guy seriously deserved way more credit. 130 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,720 Like what the adversity he came through like living under the 131 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:08,200 stairs, getting bullied by that we fought bastard Dudley, you 132 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:12,280 know, to becoming one of the premier wizard guys, you know, 133 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,920 one of the main wizard fellas, you know, and that I think that 134 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,520 actually was his title.

Where are you at with that? 150 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,600 Today I opened the bucket of paint. 151 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,600 I stood with the paintbrush. I did a couple of strokes and 152 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:17,920 then went and then I picked up the paintbrush that ship under. 153 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,480 But then I then I would just started lying in the sun and 154 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:21,680 that's what I've been doing all day. 155 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,080 But I'm I'm basically I'm out of I'm out of paint. 156 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,600 So a lot of people think it's maybe tasteless doing this. 157 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:34,000 But if my level of celebrity, which I don't know what it like 158 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,600 in Northern Ireland terms, it's probably all right. 159 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,320 You know, I think it would definitely be better if I worked 160 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,799 out it more like if I was more, you know, wanting to be like a 161 00:08:42,799 --> 00:08:47,040 celebrity kind of influencer, like guy because you know me, 162 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,960 I'm all about the craft.

I'm going to get through those 209 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:26,240 before we go on with the pod. I don't have the a charity 210 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:31,600 appeal today to, to do what I've been saying in the last couple 211 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,480 of weeks I've been doing on the on the pod is if you have a 212 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,760 charity or you're, you're hosting some sort of like good 213 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,400 cause thing, like some sort of event, no matter what it is, 214 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,400 unless it's for a paramilitary.

So we'll do, we'll do some 218 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:56,760 charity stuff. Seems like that would be that 219 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,040 would be a good call. Good thing to do. 220 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,200 Let me drink some more more of this delicious tea. 221 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,760 See these cups right. What are these next? 222 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:11,080 Oh, see these cups They're the perfect amount of tea in them 223 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,520 because let's face it, the Sports Direct mug is too much. 224 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,800 I used to have one of those when I worked in the call centre, the 225 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:22,480 big seven litre Sports Direct mug and that's too much tea, but 226 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,600 that is the is the perfect amount. 227 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:29,320 So I'm, I'm enjoying that. Yeah. 228 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:33,240 It's I keep, I feel like it keeps saying on the podcast that 229 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:39,880 that I feel weird that when when the sun's out at the minute, I'm 230 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:44,480 feeling good and I think I'm I'm getting more comfortable, more 231 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,560 comfortable with that. Not comfortable with saying the 232 00:12:46,560 --> 00:12:49,960 word comfortable, but comfortable with that, that we 233 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,920 should at the minute, we should take our wee victories, you 234 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,000 know, and if the sun's out and you're lying, getting a wee bit 235 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,200 of a town on drinking a Diet Coke, you should just go. 236 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,840 This is good. This is good because obviously 237 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,080 things aren't good at the minute. 238 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:09,960 But I think the more we things you can do that you enjoy, you 239 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,640 should and you shouldn't feel bad about it because we've got 240 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,480 to keep we've got to keep our spirits up. 241 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,640 You know, I'm missing stand up so bad. 242 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:23,280 I'm missing stand up so bad. I went through a thing of at the 243 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:28,520 very start of lockdown and all this, I got frustrated. 244 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,480 I was like, I want to get back out and do stand up because I've 245 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:35,880 been doing so many gigs before before, before this, because I 246 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,040 I've got a new, I'm looking at a whiteboard in my office at the 247 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,920 minute. By the way, I've got to give 248 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:47,520 this office to the baby down the line, like in the short future, 249 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:54,280 short future in the near future, I've got to give this over to to 250 00:13:54,680 --> 00:13:56,360 to the baby. I was going to say it, but 251 00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:00,200 people don't like that, but that is what we're calling it it. 252 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:05,760 But two TS and I then have to go into like the wardrobe room, 253 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:10,720 like the spare room, and I am less than pleased about it. 254 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:15,200 So in the future, baby, if you're watching selfish, very 255 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,600 selfish. But I have a whiteboard here and 256 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,520 I've I've been working on the new aura stand up that I should 257 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:24,600 have been starting in September. Still might, who knows, But I'm, 258 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,240 I don't know 5050 on whether gigs will happen around 259 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,040 September kind of time, especially with my kind of 260 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:32,080 numbers. You know what I mean? 261 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,600 But bless and on on a curse, you say. 262 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:40,960 But I'm, I'm working on the New York and just before lockdown, I 263 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:45,360 was just doing as many gigs as I possibly could, like, you know, 264 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:50,560 5 minutes here, 5 minutes there. And I was so happy with the New 265 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,560 York. You know, I was like really in a 266 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,000 good, in a good place with it all. 267 00:14:55,000 --> 00:15:00,080 And then all the gigs stopped. So it's that one of like when 268 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:04,040 the gigs start up again and we'll all need time to not be 269 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,520 rusty, you know, so you can't just go, there's no way. 270 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,240 I'd just go out and do tour shows. 271 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,280 I need to do spots. And by the way, we call like 272 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,720 gigs spots, you know, you go out and do a spot, that means you go 273 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:21,360 and do a set. So I think I'm going to start 274 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:26,360 doing stand up out loud to myself in the house. 275 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,480 And as I write new bits, I've never ever done that. 276 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,720 I've never done that in the 13 years I've been in stand up. 277 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,960 A lot of people going, it's weird you've been in stand up 278 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,480 for 13 years because you look like a 22 year old Tommy 279 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,880 Hilfiger model. Well, no one said that, but some 280 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,840 people might have have thought it with a bit of prompting. 281 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,200 I've never done that. That feels weird to me. 282 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:53,520 People that can walk about and go any students in, you know, I 283 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,560 don't know, I, I feel like there, there isn't, there is a 284 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,960 merit in it. And I have come around a wee bit 285 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:05,160 more recently to the idea of doing like stand up online, 286 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,800 maybe some sort of Zoom thing. I don't know. 287 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,760 I feel like, I feel like if you approached it in the right way 288 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,080 and you weren't thinking this is going to be like when you do 289 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,840 stand up in libraries or wherever, I think if you 290 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:17,960 approach it of this is going to be really different, but let's 291 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,440 just see what happens. I think it could be it could be 292 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,520 a bit of fun. So I went through this period 293 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,800 where I missed stand up so bad at the start. 294 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,280 Then I looked at it like, and Dave Elliott and I were chatting 295 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:34,360 about this where it's almost like maybe I should enjoy my 296 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:38,400 first break from stand up in pretty much 13 years. 297 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,680 Because even like, I've only been doing this full time for 298 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,240 about 5. And maybe I was doing it for 9, 299 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,760 like 8 years. Yeah, but eight years as a 300 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,520 hobby. But even when I was doing it as 301 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:54,440 a hobby, I was still doing it a couple of times a week at least, 302 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,680 and maybe sometimes five times a week, 6, whatever it was. 303 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:02,120 So maybe I should just enjoy the break. 304 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:06,680 And you know, I think when you take a step away from stand up, 305 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:11,200 you can start to come up with more material because you're 306 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,599 almost like giving your brain a rest because I'm always going. 307 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:15,119 Can that be a bit? Is that a bit? 308 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,720 Someone says something to me really innocuous, like, alright, 309 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,839 mate, you have the time. I give them the time. 310 00:17:19,839 --> 00:17:23,119 But then in my head I'm like, is there a bit of material in the 311 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,960 way that guy said that? And it can be annoying sometimes 312 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,200 because I'm not like, I'm not like Matt Damon in Goodwill 313 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,120 Hunting. I'm not like, you know, writing 314 00:17:31,120 --> 00:17:35,640 a big board and stuff, but but I, I, I then started to go, you 315 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,920 know what, this breaks good. And then today I went Nope, want 316 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:44,200 to be back out doing stand up and somebody got in touch me and 317 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,240 said, I think one of your tour shows is cancelled. 318 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,440 And I said, no, it's not. And then we just found out that 319 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,160 it is and we weren't like told about it. 320 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:59,240 So I think I'm a little bit grumpy because of that, but that 321 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,120 I, I think that's going to be the way it is for a lot of 322 00:18:01,120 --> 00:18:05,400 people, you know, because nothing's really going on. 323 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,760 Anything that happens gets like magnified. 324 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,200 So normally I'd be like, you know what, don't worry, don't 325 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:11,880 worry. That's fine. 326 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:17,360 But now I'm now I'm ready to fight, you know, and I just, I 327 00:18:17,360 --> 00:18:19,280 just want to do, I want to do stand up. 328 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:23,280 I've been thinking about creative ways to do stand up 329 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:29,160 when the lockdown eases. Obviously if it's OK, like, you 330 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,240 know, going alongside the government device, but there's 331 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:36,680 definitely ways to do stand up that aren't traditional. 332 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,280 And I think I've come up with a wee bit of an idea. 333 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,800 If it goes anywhere, I'll let you know and I'll invite you to 334 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,600 it. But we'll see. 335 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,760 I think. I think it would be class and 336 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,560 it'd be a way for me to finally just get doing stand up again. 337 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,040 Imagine I did stand up again and and just just had a French 338 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,440 accent. Just my own jokes, you know, 339 00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,720 spoke English, but just with a French accent. 340 00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,000 And then other comedians were asking me about, like, why are 341 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,640 you doing that? And I just had no idea he was 342 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,360 doing it. I mean, what are you talking 343 00:19:05,360 --> 00:19:08,400 about? You know, I get up on stage. 344 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:13,120 Hello. Has anybody noticed? 345 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,600 You know, And that's German, but that's fine because when you're 346 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,440 in lockdown, you forget how to do accents and don't judge 347 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,720 others, is what I'm saying. OK. 348 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:22,960 But. But yeah, I don't know if you 349 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,120 guys find this in any way interest in me talking about the 350 00:19:26,120 --> 00:19:30,680 inner workings of my mind when it comes to stand up, but I 351 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,400 really, I really, really miss it. 352 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,480 I miss getting up. I'm doing stand up even when it 353 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:40,240 goes badly. I would honestly, I would walk 354 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,320 to Dublin right now for a bad gig. 355 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,720 I'm I'm, I mean, not like just to get on stage and be telling 356 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:53,000 jokes is such a it's such an amazing thing. 357 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,720 And I think I'll, I'll appreciate stand up way more. 358 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:57,560 Think I talked about this couple of weeks ago. 359 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,080 I definitely don't not appreciate stand up. 360 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,720 And, you know, I, I, I am really, really grateful to be 361 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,520 able to do it, but it's only written now that it's like taken 362 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:13,400 away that I think more like I, I get to do my dream job, you 363 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,600 know, the way like. People want to be a footballer 364 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,360 or whatever. I mean, I definitely do want to 365 00:20:18,360 --> 00:20:20,720 be a footballer as well. And that's something I might 366 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,800 pursue after this. I might sign for like Barcelona, 367 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,160 Real Madrid for a while just to get my finances back up because 368 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,760 they are. But well, you know that I'm done 369 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,040 in my last million, put it that way. 370 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:36,600 But with with stand up, I mean, it literally is my dream job. 371 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:41,000 And after maybe everyone's thinking like this, but after 372 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,520 this, I'm going to be way more productive. 373 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,200 Although I haven't been writing loads of material, but I think 374 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,440 with a bit of vitamin D with the sun out, I think I'm coming more 375 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:54,000 round to going Yep, let's lock myself away for a couple hours 376 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:58,600 and let's write some new jokes. Obviously while drinking tea the 377 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:04,080 whole time. It's just about got the 378 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:05,800 temperature where I don't want to drink anymore. 379 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,760 So yeah, this is solo episode of the podcast. 380 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,520 I've got a guest coming on this week. 381 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:14,280 I'm actually recording 2 guest episodes this week and we'll 382 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,200 release them over over the next couple of weeks. 383 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,120 They'll be fun episodes. I think people will enjoy them. 384 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:23,000 Two very different guests, but we're going to keep doing this 385 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,360 thing on Wednesday and Fridays and you've got the Patreon 386 00:21:26,360 --> 00:21:29,480 episode on a Monday. So before do listeners questions 387 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,280 and your topics and thing use the things that you just want to 388 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:33,800 talk about, which we will do right now. 389 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:38,000 Let me just plug the Patreon, which is patreon.com/tea with Me 390 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:42,080 podcast that will also get you a Monday episode. 391 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:46,160 And it's not like it's not like an afterthought. 392 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,200 The Patreon episode, the Patreon episodes are different to this 393 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:50,600 because we have a different theme. 394 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,880 And it's me and producer Dan and we'll do things like look at 395 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,960 what are considered the top ten films of all time, the top ten 396 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,800 albums of all time, different theme every week. 397 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,880 We just did the album on this Monday and and it was real. 398 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,040 It was really enjoyable. I think I think you'll you'll 399 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:09,480 enjoy it. Just something a bit different. 400 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,200 So the Patreon episode I think is good value. 401 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:16,240 It comes out every Monday, patreon.com/tea with Me podcast. 402 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,640 You get loads more things, giveaways, free stuff, all that 403 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:20,920 kind of thing when you sign up for it. 404 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,360 But I also totally understand that money is tight for a lot of 405 00:22:24,360 --> 00:22:27,920 people maybe not earning at the minute like myself. 406 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,720 So if it's something you can't help with, totally 407 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,800 understandable. But if you can get me wrong, 408 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:39,040 Seal Medium will paint 9 litres or I'll take 12 and a couple of 409 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,240 paint brushes. You've more than made-up for it. 410 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,320 Let's get back in the listeners questions on the second-half of 411 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:51,360 the pod. Sip Sip sippers. 412 00:22:51,360 --> 00:22:55,280 We're back with the second-half of the podcast and your shout 413 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,520 outs, your questions, all that kind of stuff. 414 00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,520 Say shout outs. I'm in Radio Ulster mode for 415 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,360 Friday nights. We don't do shout outs on the 416 00:23:01,360 --> 00:23:05,480 podcast, but we do do listeners questions and I said do do 417 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,040 there, which sort of made me laugh in internally. 418 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,680 Rebus says, who's a dream guest you'd love to have on the 419 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,160 podcast and what would your most insightful, thought provoking 420 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,120 question be? Very good question, Rebus. 421 00:23:18,120 --> 00:23:23,280 I I enjoy that. My dream guest, it's difficult 422 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:28,720 to know what would constitute a dream guest because you can look 423 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,600 at that two ways. I can either look at that and 424 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,360 go, who do I think the listeners would love the most on the 425 00:23:33,360 --> 00:23:36,840 podcast? Or if I was being selfish, who 426 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,160 would I love the most? But then that would probably be 427 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,320 a good episode because I would be so buzzing to do it. 428 00:23:44,120 --> 00:23:47,960 There's there's a lot of a lot of people I would really like to 429 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,200 have. This is maybe a bit niche, 430 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,600 especially for like younger listeners and viewers, but 431 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,920 Christy Dignam from Aslan Aslan or a band from Dublin who have 432 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,280 been gone for years. I think they started the same 433 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:05,200 time U2 did and they have a song called Crazy World, which is one 434 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,720 of my favourite songs ever. And Christy's their lead singer. 435 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:13,160 He has a real interest. He's LED a very colourful life. 436 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,480 He, he was like complete drug addict. 437 00:24:17,360 --> 00:24:21,400 He's had loads of health scares. The band broken up and got 438 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,160 together a lot of times. But we went to see them live in 439 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:25,960 Vicar St in Dublin a couple of years ago. 440 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:30,440 And in fact it was, yeah, two years ago and live there. 441 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,400 Outstanding. And he's been on the Late Late 442 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:36,040 Show a few times on our TV covering some like very 443 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:40,560 traditional Irish songs. And I think he'd have a great 444 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,600 story. I actually reached out to his 445 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,400 manager a couple of months ago and he said yes, he would do it. 446 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:51,520 And I haven't followed up on that yet because of the lockdown 447 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:52,600 thing. And he's based in Dublin. 448 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,480 But that's, that's, that's one I'll do. 449 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,360 And I think his story will be interesting enough that if you 450 00:24:56,360 --> 00:24:58,600 haven't heard of him in the band, I think you'll enjoy it. 451 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,160 And obviously some people will have heard of them. 452 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,280 Other people I'd like to interview. 453 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,480 I'm a huge Rolling Stones fan, so I'd love to interview anybody 454 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:10,480 from the band and if any, if any of the lads or if Mecca or any 455 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,200 of them, Keith or any of the boys are watching. 456 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,320 Yes you can come. They're probably watching going. 457 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,960 I'd love Mick Jack. Mick Jack is probably watching. 458 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:23,280 I'd love to do his podcast. Mick, get in touch. 459 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,640 You can. And Mick, if you know anybody at 460 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:30,200 Ronsale, come do the podcast. You can be in my front garden 461 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:34,520 and do it and I'll shout from upstairs and bring some paint 462 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,080 with you, my man, and I'll get you on board. 463 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:40,240 Then I'd love to have someone from The Rolling Stones on. 464 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,920 I, I, I'd like to have Rory McIlroy on for an episode. 465 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,560 I think people would people would enjoy that because I spend 466 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,720 I've spent so many years talking about him through Mike 467 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,560 McGoldrick as a close, close personal Fred. 468 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,480 And I think that I'd be interested to talk to him about 469 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,200 what he thinks of that. You know, whether he he thinks 470 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,040 that's good banter or he's like, hey, mate, stop doing that. 471 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,720 So would love to get him on for an episode. 472 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,560 And then and then just comedians. 473 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,200 I'd like to have like, I'm big into American comedy. 474 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,240 So I'd like to get some of my favourite American comedians on 475 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:24,600 like Chris D'elia, Bryan Callen, Theo Von Ali Wong, people like 476 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:28,000 that, Tom Segura, Brookreisher. There's a load of people. 477 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:32,600 And my attitude at the minute is just ask anyone in terms of and 478 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,960 ask anyone that I'm thinking of getting, you know, not just ask 479 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:40,160 anyone like I'm not, I'm not on the phone to, you know, Keith 480 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:41,840 Chagwon being like Chegger's come to it. 481 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:43,040 Although it definitely would get him on. 482 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,560 What would be my most insightful, thought provoking 483 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,560 question? I don't do insightful, 484 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,200 thoughtful, provoking questions. If you're looking for that, 485 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,120 you'll know Rebus, that this is not the podcast. 486 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,960 No, I don't I think if you if you got into a conversation and 487 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:06,560 it happened to go that way where it got a bit deep that that 488 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,640 would be ground. But my natural place to go is 489 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:16,080 just silly light, kinda, you know, fun chat because I, I 490 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,760 don't like to do the questions that people are asked on any 491 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:23,720 podcast or interview they do. So I like to kind of mix it up a 492 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:28,520 bit and and ask them sillier, sillier type questions. 493 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,720 But cheers for that, Chewie Louie says shooting stars the 494 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,440 next few nights. Is there a Flat Earth? 495 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,920 I don't know what that means. Is there supposed to be shooting 496 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:42,400 stars in the sky or are you just watching the TV programme with 497 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,000 Victoria and Bob shooting stars for the next few nights? 498 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:49,480 Is there a Flat Earth? I'm going to say no, man. 499 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:54,440 By the way, my battery is dying on my camera, which makes me so 500 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:58,520 sad because I'll have to charge that and it's going to cut off. 501 00:27:59,120 --> 00:28:03,440 Is there a Flat Earth? I'm going to say no because I 502 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:07,080 think so many people would have to know about it that somebody 503 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:11,000 would tout 1000%. Like if I was working for the 504 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,240 group or whatever it is that was protecting the secret to there's 505 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,240 a Flat Earth, I would definitely have a couple of siders and tell 506 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,680 everybody I know on WhatsApp some night. 507 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:24,280 So probably not. And then again, if someone was 508 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:29,400 able to go, Shane, you are the 54th most well known person in 509 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:33,160 Northern Ireland, born in 1988. Come with me. 510 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,920 And they took me to some sort of secret room and show me proof 511 00:28:36,120 --> 00:28:40,000 that the world was flat. I would very quickly just 512 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,480 probably want to get food. You know, I'd just be like, all 513 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:46,360 right, OK, thanks. I mean, it's not going to impact 514 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:50,080 my life in any way. But also, why do the why are 515 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:54,200 they saying the Earth is flat? So why, why would the government 516 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,560 not be like the the world government? 517 00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,680 Why would they not be telling you I need to get Connor Keys 518 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:03,160 and Mickey Bartlett for this because they like conspiracy 519 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,080 theory chat. I don't know anything about it, 520 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,480 as you can tell. But what's in it for them saying 521 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:11,000 that the Earth is round? You know, is it that all these 522 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,320 people that are saying that invest in snow globe companies? 523 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,920 So if if it proved the world was flat, they they would just not 524 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:19,920 be selling as much. I don't know. 525 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,640 I'm going to say I'm not the best qualified guy for that. 526 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:34,000 But I don't think that the Earth is flat because because when 527 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:38,880 you're up on a plane and you look at the world, sometimes it 528 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,920 looks like you can actually see curvature. 529 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,320 You know, I honestly, I don't know. 530 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,840 But what I like to think is some people are watching this going 531 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,360 he fucking knows he he knows something. 532 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:54,120 I do know some things, but if the earth is flat or not is is 533 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:55,600 not one of them. I I have no idea. 534 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,800 Ronenberg says hi, hi Sippa Middleton, which I enjoy because 535 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,040 I call people sippers that listen to this and he said, 536 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,560 Sippa Middleton. Any new music artists you've got 537 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:10,160 into over lockdown and I've here's the thing. 538 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:15,080 I put the Alexa out the back. Alexa's the Amazon thing by the 539 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,600 way, not like my dog. I put Alexa out the back and 540 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,880 play music at like a fine level, you know what I mean? 541 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:22,240 Like it's not going to piss off the neighbours. 542 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,280 What I will ask Alexa to play, not new artists by any means, 543 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,920 but I'm asking for a lot of Bob Marley. 544 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,640 I'm asking for The Beach Boys, The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac. 545 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:38,440 So I haven't got in anybody new I don't think, music wise, have 546 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,880 I? No, I don't. 547 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,040 I don't think so, Ronan. I'm just keeping it. 548 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,440 I'm sticking to what I know. I feel like I know all the 549 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,400 artists. I know all the artists I want to 550 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,880 listen to. And about a year ago I went 551 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:51,600 bang. That's it. 552 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,120 I'll just concentrate on these guys. 553 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:58,680 I'm not really looking to discover any anybody new, but if 554 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,520 there's anyone you think I should know about, tell me. 555 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,400 Johnny Bo says where would be the first choice venue for a 556 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:09,360 live tea with me? Well, there are 1000% will be a 557 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:13,040 live team with me when and where, who knows, but it will 558 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,120 happen. And if you, if you're a signer 559 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:18,120 upper, if you're very rich and you sign up to the top tier of 560 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,000 the Patreon, you get a, a free ticket to that. 561 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:25,400 But, but if, if you're a Patreon member, I will tell you first 562 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,520 where the live podcast is going to be. 563 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:29,760 But by the way, you'll still be able to go. 564 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:31,880 So for anyone who can't sign up the Patreon, don't be like, oh 565 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,920 fuck, I can't go. Seven people from Patreon will 566 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,520 go and the venue will hold 7000. You'll be able to get a ticket. 567 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:43,800 Where am I doing it? Probably the SSE SSE Arena Tea 568 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,280 With Me podcast, but it's in Pizza Hut and I don't know, I 569 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,080 think someone asked us this around the first week of the 570 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,800 podcast, or maybe I just was chatting about it. 571 00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,800 I would love to do it in like an old fashioned tea rooms. 572 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:57,520 I think that would be a lot of fun. 573 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,560 Or if not, we would probably just have to get like a venue 574 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:05,040 and set it up like a tea room. So we'd put like tablecloths 575 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:08,080 out. We'd have, what do you call it, 576 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,360 like teapots. We'd have wheat cups and 577 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,960 saucers, all that. So maybe we'd just get somewhere 578 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,920 and we can decorate it like a tea rooms or maybe we can do it 579 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,560 in some sort of nice tea rooms. I don't know. 580 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,520 I think it'll be a lot of fun. I'd probably get a get a guest 581 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,160 or two on. We do a live 1. 582 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,680 We'll do a bit of stand up, but there definitely will be a live 583 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,920 Tea with me podcast. And hey, that will not be rowdy 584 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,520 because there will just be 7080 people sipping on tea. 585 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,080 Although you can let you can bring booze too. 586 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,800 That's what I'm going to have. You can sip on tea, but then you 587 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,720 can all, you can also bring booze on the side, but you kind 588 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:43,320 of do have to also be drinking tea. 589 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,000 More questions.

It was Matthew Murden saying 625 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,760 about the comment section. Belfast Telegraph. 626 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:09,480 Yeah, enjoyable, always enjoyable, Matt Murr says, which 627 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,600 is similar to Matthew Murden. Did you know that instead of 628 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:17,360 getting abuse for going shopping in his fancy London trousers, JC 629 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:21,080 Stewart actually opened his own shop in Macrofelt Chancer. 630 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:27,000 And you sent me a link to the JC Stewart Food Hall, Macrofelt. 631 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:30,640 I mean, that has to be owned by somebody in his family, surely. 632 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,400 JC. JC. 633 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:38,320 So JC was my guest last week in the podcast and he's a single 634 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,360 songwriter and he's from Macrofelt. 635 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:44,080 But there is, Yep, there's a supermarket Macrofelt called JC 636 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,240 Stewart. Does he own it? 637 00:35:47,240 --> 00:35:50,280 Should I, should I ask him if I can give him a call? 638 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,280 I'm going to message him. He's probably like, Nah, man, 639 00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:55,880 I'm doing like a live game for Radio One right now. 640 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:59,040 I don't have time to answer this, but Matt, we always want 641 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:06,000 to get the truth on this pod. So JC, I'm going to say hey 642 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:10,640 mate, I'm live on the podcast. I'm not actually live, but you 643 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:12,520 know, it's industry, industry chat. 644 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,080 He'll know what I mean.

There is AJC Stewart Food Hall, 657 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,440 like a big massive garage in Macrofelt. 658 00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:15,960 What is the link? We will find out on this hard 659 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:20,200 hitting investigative podcast. He's also online on Instagram 660 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,320 right now. Folks, this has not been set up 661 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,400 beforehand. This is CUTTING Edge TV's 662 00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:30,880 podcast content right here. Will JC Stewart respond or does 663 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,000 JC Stewart know that he's been rumbled? 664 00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,680 Is he like fuck, I should have changed the name so people 665 00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:37,080 wouldn't know that it was me that owned it? 666 00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:39,800 Also, does he have more important things to be getting 667 00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:41,320 on with? Yes, probably. 668 00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,320 While he hopefully gets back to me, he might just mug me off and 669 00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,240 not. I wouldn't get back to me on 670 00:37:47,240 --> 00:37:50,320 this. But while we do that, we'll get 671 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:55,600 another question. This question comes from, I hope 672 00:37:55,600 --> 00:38:01,040 that I'm pronouncing this right, but RYA RAWYA RYA. 673 00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,320 If I'm pronouncing it wrong, I can only apologise. 674 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:08,160 And the question is dating advice and relationship advice 675 00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:14,640 for people in their 30s. I mean, I feel like one thing 676 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,960 you've, you've Here's the thing. I think when people are in their 677 00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:21,320 30s, I think we we look our best in our 30s. 678 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:26,320 Any photo of me from before two years ago, I look awkward and 679 00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,880 weird and I look I still awkward and weird now, but less awkward. 680 00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,160 You really, I think you grow into your face and your 681 00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,440 features.

What? 699 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,880 What you don't do is go, Oh yeah, pretty shy. 700 00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:35,280 You don't play a bit of football. 701 00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:37,960 What you don't do is that you go like this, they say, what sort 702 00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:46,800 of kid were you in school? You go like this, just a kid and 703 00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,440 they say, oh, OK, did you like school? 704 00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:55,400 And you go school, school, you know, that's what I would say. 705 00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:59,040 I would say be aloof, be vague and just don't commit to 706 00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,680 answers. That would be my my thing. 707 00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,920 That is not a podcast question. That's totally unrelated. 708 00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:08,880 JC Stewart has gone offline. So he was online. 709 00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:12,240 Might have seen the question. Has dodged it. 710 00:40:12,240 --> 00:40:15,760 So we will never know if JC Stewart owns the JC Stewart Food 711 00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:19,080 Hall in Macrofelt. But if I get more information on 712 00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:20,840 that I will of course keep you posted. 713 00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:23,400 Oh yeah. The reason what distracted me 714 00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,720 during that is I put up a tweet there, a fucking hilarious 8 out 715 00:40:26,720 --> 00:40:30,080 of 10 tweet about paint at the minute because nobody can get 716 00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,000 pain. I was thinking about what we've 717 00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:35,320 been chatting about, about me and even Ron Sue, and I thought 718 00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,360 I'll make a joke about the fact that nobody has pain. 719 00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:41,640 So I said I tried local dealers and even some websites using a 720 00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:43,520 VPN. Going off my nut here. 721 00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,680 Anyone sort me run see medium offence pain can paying cash. 722 00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,920 Now that was just an innocuous joke basically being like no one 723 00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,800 can get paint. People are fucking lovely. 724 00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,720 And so many people are just getting back to me being like, 725 00:40:55,920 --> 00:41:00,280 hey man, I know a place, OK. And I love that and I feel 726 00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:06,280 really bad about it. Yeah, like loads of people are 727 00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:08,840 just, or just getting back to me and being like, mate, I can get 728 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:15,240 you, you know, I feel, I feel, I feel really bad because Dave 729 00:41:15,240 --> 00:41:19,320 Elliott just texted me and said Mate Catherine, his wife, he's 730 00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,600 like, mate Catherine knows a place in Cumber Consortium. 731 00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,800 You know, like I do want the paint. 732 00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:26,880 But here's the thing. I can't travel to go and get it. 733 00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:30,480 I can only go somewhere that's on my daily walk. 734 00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:34,480 So I can only go somewhere like really close to me because I'm 735 00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:37,120 doing all the good stuff. I'm not going to just drive 736 00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:40,720 somebody to get paint. Now, if somebody wants to drive 737 00:41:40,720 --> 00:41:43,040 to me, I'm only joking. I'm only going to get paint in 738 00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:46,040 one of two shops in the town that I live in and hopefully 739 00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:51,640 they have more in. So Beverly says I'm not a tea 740 00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:54,120 person. Well, not a hot tea person. 741 00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,560 So what tea would you recommend for a beginner to start out 742 00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:58,360 sipping? Here's the thing, don't. 743 00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:00,640 I wouldn't start sipping too fast. 744 00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:05,640 Take it in one week, then you go to three a week, then three 745 00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:07,400 months later, you're drinking tea every day. 746 00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:10,720 But don't just jump in, you know, ease yourself. 747 00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:12,680 It's like a warm bath. Ease yourself into it. 748 00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:14,800 JC Stewart has just said, yeah, all good. 749 00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:20,120 Here we go. Can I can I make a call on the 750 00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,720 pod? Oh, my God. 751 00:42:22,720 --> 00:42:25,480 He's giving me his number. Guys, we're going to find out 752 00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:29,520 right now live on the podcast if JC Stewart owns the JC Stewart 753 00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:32,640 Food Hall in microfilm. Yeah. 754 00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:35,880 What's that? Hey man, I've got a question 755 00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,920 that's composed by a listener. We need an answer like tonight 756 00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:40,520 on this. OK, alright. 757 00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:41,720 It's a big, is it a big question? 758 00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:43,080 Yeah, it's really big. OK, OK. 759 00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:50,680 Do you own or are you the JC Stewart of JC Stewart Food Hall 760 00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:54,720 Fame in Macrofilth now? This is a complicated question. 761 00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:59,080 Right, we're here for this. Here for this, it's a big drama 762 00:42:59,240 --> 00:43:03,800 That's not really yes. And a short answer I am that is 763 00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:08,840 me, my my, my, my family used to own that up until like 3 or 4 764 00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,480 years ago right? Spar or something. 765 00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:14,080 But my name is John Caleb Stewart, named after the shop. 766 00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:17,280 So I am named after what is essentially A spar now. 767 00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:21,840 I mean, I didn't expect this level of answer. 768 00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:25,240 I really I really enjoy all elements of this because I 769 00:43:25,240 --> 00:43:27,840 didn't think you would be that JC Stewart to find out you were 770 00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:30,360 named after to get the background of, you know, it was 771 00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:35,240 like a spar buyout. Umm, I I I I enjoy I enjoy all 772 00:43:35,240 --> 00:43:36,920 of it. Did you when now that Spar 773 00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,960 bought it over, do you have to incorporate spar into your name 774 00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:41,880 or you or were you able to just keep it the same it? 775 00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:45,320 Was meant to be JC Spar for the stage name but I luckily got out 776 00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:51,680 of that one. Can I, can I just ask, do you 777 00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:54,240 does the fact that your family like own it and you're called 778 00:43:54,240 --> 00:43:55,920 after? Does that cut any mustard, if 779 00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,880 you will, when you go to JC Stewart Food Hall in Macro? 780 00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:00,880 Felt like all. I'm saying is there used to be 781 00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:04,800 10% staff discount and now there is no longer 10% staff discount 782 00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:05,920 to do? Is that what you will? 783 00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:07,640 Right. Well, we're going to get this 784 00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:09,600 clip, we're going to get this clip out there and we're going 785 00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:12,120 to get that reinstated for the Stewart family Hall, but that 786 00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:16,280 alright man, Thanks a lot. Appreciate that. 787 00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:17,280 Hope you're well. No worries, alright. 788 00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:18,960 Have a good. One cheers. 789 00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:27,290 Bye. You started listening to this 790 00:44:27,290 --> 00:44:29,370 podcast tonight. You had no idea. 791 00:44:30,090 --> 00:44:35,650 You had no idea if JC Stewart was the JC Stewart of the food 792 00:44:35,650 --> 00:44:39,490 hall Macrofelt. Looks like you just found your 793 00:44:39,490 --> 00:44:42,370 answer. Also, I've just realised that we 794 00:44:42,370 --> 00:44:44,610 weren't recording audio through the laptop, so I'm going to have 795 00:44:44,610 --> 00:44:46,090 to take the laptop through the camera. 796 00:44:46,770 --> 00:44:51,440 No, I'm I'm going to take the audio through the camera, but we 797 00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:55,520 all make mistakes and producer Dan will be rolling his eyes and 798 00:44:55,520 --> 00:45:01,360 putting and I say to you, Sir, don't, but there you go. 799 00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:02,560 I feel like that was worth it. We got that. 800 00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:08,240 We we got to find out that that JC Stewart is the JC Stewart of 801 00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:11,760 the macrofelt foothold. Although the audio might not be 802 00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:15,120 great because I tried to play that into the audio recorder and 803 00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:17,840 I shouldn't be telling you this level of detail if I fucked this 804 00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:19,320 up. But look, if there's a will, 805 00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:30,560 I'll find a way questions. Ronan Kerrigan says OK, he says 806 00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:33,160 love to listen to the podcast while I clean rooms at a nursing 807 00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:34,720 home. Listeners who have been 808 00:45:34,720 --> 00:45:36,760 listening non-stop for the last couple of days. 809 00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:38,680 And since I'm not talking to too many people, I'd say I'm a 810 00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:40,560 family. I've found myself thinking in 811 00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:42,200 your voice when I get home from work. 812 00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:46,520 Do you think in a voice or are thoughts more abstract in your 813 00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:50,400 moment, the moment thinking. Ronan, cheers for that. 814 00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:54,280 You're never too late to come on board as a sipper and then fair 815 00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:57,120 play to fair play to everybody that's still that's still sort 816 00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:59,800 of out working and getting it done and sounds like you're 817 00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:03,240 providing a great service in in your place of work. 818 00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:09,760 So that's a good question. I, I don't think, I don't always 819 00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:15,120 think with a voicing like say I'm say like when earlier there 820 00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:18,440 whenever I looked out and I saw this guy look nice, I didn't say 821 00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:22,600 in my head to myself out loud in my head, this guy looks nice. 822 00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:30,280 I just thought it so I didn't need to say it in my head, but I 823 00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:33,680 guess I would. I think I do my own voice in my 824 00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:36,840 head. I think as like someone who's 825 00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:38,440 trying to act a bit more and do that kind of thing. 826 00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:40,800 Like any role I can get, the more roles I can get, the 827 00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:43,400 better. And you know, I'm not 828 00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:45,880 considering anyone else for the role of the voice in my head, 829 00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:48,880 but I, I will be open to the voice in my head being a 830 00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:50,920 different voice. But I feel like I don't say 831 00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:54,040 things to myself out loud. I just think it without saying 832 00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:56,320 it. I just go like, say I'm going to 833 00:46:56,320 --> 00:47:00,720 be like, I need to get bananas. I don't go in my head to myself. 834 00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:04,000 You need to get bananas or I need to get bananas. 835 00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:07,400 I just have the thought in a different part of my brain that 836 00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:11,680 just zooms it, you know? Hey man, complicated question, 837 00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:13,560 complicated answer, but good to have you on board. 838 00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:16,520 Finton Wolf says best personal sporting moment. 839 00:47:16,720 --> 00:47:19,320 I don't like to talk about it, but probably when I played at 840 00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:23,680 Seaview and Alan Plain he was in that's former Premier League and 841 00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:26,320 Northern Ireland international goalkeeper and this one a couple 842 00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:28,680 of months ago. And there was like a lot of like 843 00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:30,520 ex internationals playing and and whatever. 844 00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:32,960 And it was a bit of a crowd at Seaview and it was for a really 845 00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:35,080 good cause. And probably just when I lobbed 846 00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:38,640 Alan Blaney who was a couple of inches of half an inch off his 847 00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:42,120 line ex Premier League in Northern Ireland international 848 00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:44,280 and with my bad foot, which is my left foot. 849 00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:46,640 Although do I have a bad foot? Probably not. 850 00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:49,560 I just, I just pinged 1 into the top corner. 851 00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:52,240 So that was pretty decent on the videos on all my social media 852 00:47:52,240 --> 00:47:54,800 channels. Michael Lewis, will you ever be 853 00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:56,880 doing any sketches with Dan Watson again? 854 00:47:56,960 --> 00:48:00,120 Always enjoyed the, the early Harlem Gun Club stuff you guys 855 00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:04,760 made. The the answer is probably 856 00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:10,240 probably I would be surprised if I did, but I, I I might like, I 857 00:48:10,240 --> 00:48:13,040 just don't think the the option to do that would be there. 858 00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:18,080 Dan and Dan was Thomas the tanker Smythe in the I am 859 00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:20,920 fighter videos. And then we did some stuff 860 00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:22,800 together. Not not for that long, but it 861 00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:26,160 was kind of when I started doing sketches on my own. 862 00:48:26,240 --> 00:48:32,440 And no, Dan can't Dan, Dan's a very much like his own person, 863 00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:37,120 like does his own thing. And we, we were making loads of 864 00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:38,640 videos together doing loads of stuff. 865 00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:42,920 I think we it started because I think, I'm pretty sure I have 866 00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:44,440 this right. He asked me about doing a 867 00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:48,000 football podcast and we did one for a couple of weeks, like a 868 00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,480 Premier League football podcast. And then we started doing 869 00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:55,160 sketches. And then we did that for maybe 870 00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:57,400 it was like a year or I don't know how long it was. 871 00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:00,600 But anyway, we even did a live sketch show, which was terrible 872 00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:03,280 but funny in our heads. We just didn't prepare it. 873 00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:08,880 I, I, I, I don't know, we kind of just went off the radar with 874 00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:13,080 me and, and I don't know, last I heard he was, I think he lives 875 00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:15,480 in London or something. And I, I don't think he's doing 876 00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:18,680 any sort of comedy, certainly not performing. 877 00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:21,920 But he was always a real, he was an excellent writer. 878 00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:23,680 Like I think he's more interested in writing. 879 00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:27,120 I, I have no idea. A bit like people always 880 00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:29,280 shouting to me. Where's Bunter made people 881 00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:32,840 always ask Colin Colin Geddis, where's where's Thomas? 882 00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:35,440 And the answer's kind of like me with Ponder, although I kind of 883 00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:38,000 do no work here in Bartlett is especially now because because 884 00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:41,960 the lockdown, he's in his house. But yeah, I I don't know. 885 00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:43,920 It was it was it was it was a strange one. 886 00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:50,960 He's funny guy, like nice guy, but don't know, just kind of 887 00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:54,480 stopped wanting to he stopped wanting to do videos together 888 00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:57,040 and and it's fucking different to talk about. 889 00:49:57,240 --> 00:49:59,880 But but yeah, I don't know. Would I do videos with him 890 00:49:59,880 --> 00:50:01,920 again? Yeah, it'd be. 891 00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:03,480 It'd be weird if he got in touch with me now. 892 00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:08,080 I think so long has passed. But yeah, why not? 893 00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:11,240 Sounds really funny. And his taxi driver videos that 894 00:50:11,240 --> 00:50:16,040 he did are phenomenal. So yeah, Belfast guy in China 895 00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:18,840 says. Do you think you get enough 896 00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:21,240 credit and respect for comedy being your livelihood and 897 00:50:21,240 --> 00:50:23,000 income? I often think people see 898 00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,280 comedians posting things or doing stand up and think they're 899 00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:27,800 just doing it for a laugh, not respecting the fact it's all 900 00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:29,560 work. I have huge respect for you and 901 00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:31,360 what you do. I would love to challenge 100 902 00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:34,080 people to do your job for a week and see how uncomfortable they 903 00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:36,080 are with it. Not many could do it even less 904 00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:38,960 and make anyone laugh. Thanks very much. 905 00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:45,280 It's it's it's a hard one to answer. 906 00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:50,800 I, I guess whenever you, you do a job that you've picked to do, 907 00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:52,800 you know, you're like, this is the job I want to do and then 908 00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:55,240 you do it. You do it because you think 909 00:50:55,240 --> 00:50:57,960 you're good at it. So it's not going to feel 910 00:50:57,960 --> 00:50:59,640 difficult for you, if that makes sense. 911 00:50:59,920 --> 00:51:02,200 So like stand up doesn't feel like a different. 912 00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:05,920 It does at times if I do like a bad show or whatever, but that's 913 00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:10,400 only temporary. I'm struggling to answer this. 914 00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:15,400 Do I feel like a get respect? Yes, because I think when people 915 00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:18,920 come and see you do stand up, buy tickets, do a show and, and, 916 00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:22,160 or share a video or whatever that that is kind of respect. 917 00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:25,200 And, and the number one thing people say when the when they 918 00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:28,160 find out you do stand up is like fair playmate or, you know, I 919 00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:30,200 couldn't do that. So, so it's an acknowledgement 920 00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:32,880 that it's a it's, it's, it's a weird job to do. 921 00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:37,280 But I'm, I'm not just saying this because I think it sounds 922 00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:42,160 good, but especially at the minute when you see like the NHS 923 00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:45,080 staff, the frontline workers, all that kind of thing, other 924 00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:47,880 key workers, when you see, when you see all that kind of stuff, 925 00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:52,400 it, it makes you realise that there's an element of bravery to 926 00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:54,840 get enough to do stand up. But it's a totally, totally 927 00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:58,960 different thing. So I, I think stand up is a 928 00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:02,720 lovely luxury type job. You do have to work hard to, to 929 00:52:02,720 --> 00:52:06,440 do it and to be good at it and for people to come back year on 930 00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:11,200 year to come see you. But look, I was talking about 931 00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:16,440 being lucky to do my dream job. I'm self-employed doing stand up 932 00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:19,800 so I can take a day off and go and play golf if I wanted to. 933 00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:23,160 Or I'm not saying this to be a wanker, but I could, I could 934 00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:25,720 just have a meeting all day with someone or a coffee or whatever. 935 00:52:27,240 --> 00:52:32,680 So I think I'm I'm really lucky to do the job, but I don't think 936 00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:36,000 it's as difficult. I think there's 1000 jobs more 937 00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:39,520 difficult than than stand up. I think sometimes I think of it 938 00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:43,960 like this, if if you're doing a play, if you're like a stage 939 00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:48,840 actor and the play is not going well, you're stuck in that play 940 00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:51,440 because you can only do those lines that you've learned 941 00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:54,120 because the other person needs to know your line to do their 942 00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:56,680 next thing. Or if you're a singer and people 943 00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:59,120 aren't enjoying what you're doing and you've got a set list, 944 00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:01,360 or if you're part of the band, you're stuck in that. 945 00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:05,080 Stand up is easier in a way because although it's just you 946 00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:07,480 on stage, like one person, so it's a bit more pressure. 947 00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:13,880 If I'm halfway through a joke and it's not London, I can scrap 948 00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:15,480 that joke. I can get out of it with one 949 00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:18,280 word or whatever, or I can just start talking about something 950 00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:22,280 else. So I, I do think stand up is an 951 00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:29,520 art form, but I, I, I don't, I don't think of it as this 952 00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:33,360 special. It's it's special to me because 953 00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:36,840 it is my favourite thing to do. I love playing football, all 954 00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:39,160 that kind of stuff. Stand up is is my favourite 955 00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:40,560 thing. I love acting, doing these 956 00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:43,640 podcasts. Stand up is I'm first and 957 00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:48,640 foremost the comedian, but I don't think of it as this like, 958 00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:51,760 Oh my God, you know, the craft and all that. 959 00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:54,320 It's just one of it's, it's any, any job. 960 00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:58,040 You work hard at it. You, you, you, you get out what 961 00:53:58,040 --> 00:54:00,560 you put in, I think. And you obviously do have to 962 00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:02,280 have some sort of natural ability at it. 963 00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:07,240 But but yeah, I feel like I get respect because I'm able, I'm 964 00:54:07,240 --> 00:54:10,440 able to do it full time. That tells me that I get enough 965 00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:13,840 people respect me to do it that I, I'm in a position to to do 966 00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:17,320 that. So, yeah, of course though, 967 00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:19,840 you're going to get people who who think you're doing it for a 968 00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:22,160 laugh or people say like, do you get paid that are your gigs, 969 00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:25,560 mate? You know that, that I, I don't 970 00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:27,200 know. I wouldn't think that if I was, 971 00:54:27,240 --> 00:54:29,880 if I was not a comedian, you know what I mean? 972 00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:33,360 It all seem like sometimes you just get up for the crack and 973 00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:37,480 also sometimes you do, sometimes you you know, I'll be, I'll be 974 00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:40,600 sitting in the house on a Thursday afternoon and I'll go, 975 00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:42,760 oh I wonder if I drive down to Belfast tonight. 976 00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:46,040 Well Dave, give me 5 minutes in Pug Ugliese and I'm not going to 977 00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:49,480 take money for that. Or if I've got a new joke I can 978 00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:53,040 go to Laverys and see if Colin will let me do 5-7 minutes or 979 00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:57,800 whatever. So, so I hope that wasn't too 980 00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:00,080 rumbly hope in some way that answers your question. 981 00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:02,040 Do you feel like I get enough credit for it? 982 00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:05,400 Yeah, I'm lucky to have the like a following. 983 00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:12,120 The following that I have is is class is in fact it's it's 984 00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:18,840 unreal, you know, because if I if I put out a video or if I say 985 00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:22,440 I'm doing a show, there's sort of already people there like, 986 00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:25,960 oh, nice one or people I know people will watch it for good or 987 00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:31,400 bad. And then that is amazing when 988 00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:37,640 you consider, when you consider that a lot of the challenge for 989 00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:42,000 people is to get people online or whatever to watch their stuff 990 00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:48,440 or, or to, to notice them and in some way to, to have excellent 991 00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:51,480 to people follow you on Instagram or whatever. 992 00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:54,400 And then they see your stuff and they maybe tell them like that, 993 00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:56,960 that is, that's magic. That's, that's so great. 994 00:55:57,320 --> 00:56:03,680 And, and something that I'm really chuffed, chuffed to have. 995 00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:08,720 So not many people could do it and even less would make people 996 00:56:08,720 --> 00:56:11,680 laugh. No, not, not many, not many 997 00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:16,320 people could do it, But you'd be surprised because it's the 998 00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:19,800 people you think could do it. The people you think could do it 999 00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:22,440 probably couldn't and a lot of the people you don't think could 1000 00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:26,240 do it would be able to do it. I found with stand up that 1001 00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:31,160 people that are, you know, the client like always, like the 1002 00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:34,560 centre of attention and full of these one liners, you know that 1003 00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:37,200 they always say they're not going to make good stand ups. 1004 00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:39,880 In my experience, in my experience, people that are wee 1005 00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:47,120 bit more introverted, a wee bit more happy to sort of sit in the 1006 00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:50,280 background and instead of being like a joke a minute, they'll 1007 00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:53,360 wait 10 minutes and do 1 great. One like that is kind of what 1008 00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:55,160 makes a good stand up in my book. 1009 00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:56,880 Thank you very much for the question. 1010 00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:04,000 We've got more questions. That is not a podcast question. 1011 00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:07,600 This one though, comes in from Connor, who says Shane, I'm 1012 00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:09,440 dating a girl from Belfast.

And then someone makes a joke to 1048 00:58:56,040 --> 00:58:59,200 them and they're like, the fuck did you say, you know that that 1049 00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:00,920 is kind of a wee bit of a Belfast thing as well. 1050 00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:03,080 But yeah, you're going to find that and good luck. 1051 00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:08,240 Good luck with your didn't. Yeah. 1052 00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:13,160 OK, we've got more. Oh, oh, someone said happy 1053 00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:16,320 birthday. It's not my birthday and someone 1054 00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:19,840 else has said something that is not a podcast question but it's 1055 00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:22,720 a compliment so I'm half tempted to rate it out but I shan't. 1056 00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:29,040 OK, last question. Alistair Key says favourite food 1057 00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:32,560 items from a chippy, though Mike McGoldrick probably doesn't know 1058 00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:34,600 what 1 is. Yeah, Mike McGoldrick definitely 1059 00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:35,880 wouldn't know what a chippy is. Like he would. 1060 00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:39,360 He would think a chippy is what you call like chip and pin, you 1061 00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:40,200 know? He wouldn't, he wouldn't 1062 00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:43,720 understand. He'd be there Friday after work. 1063 00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:46,160 I mean, he doesn't really work. He's like a consultant, but like 1064 00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:50,400 he'd have a bottle of red under the arm, some steak and he'd be 1065 00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:52,480 able to go dirty. Go Do you guys take chippy? 1066 00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:54,600 You know, he wouldn't understand. 1067 00:59:56,160 --> 00:59:59,120 My favourite thing from a chippy used to be battered sausage 1068 00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:02,160 shopper. Oh, oh, battered sausage 1069 01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:04,200 chopper. Golden Chip and Dundonald do 1070 01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:05,720 really good battered sausage shopper. 1071 01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:09,480 Now I here's the thing. I don't know if I've said this 1072 01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:15,240 in the podcast before. A chippy near me does a steamed 1073 01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:18,800 fish shopper. So like it's like a whitefish, 1074 01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:22,080 like a haddock or whatever, or call it, it's called steamed. 1075 01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:25,640 No batter, no nothing, no messing about and chips with it. 1076 01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:27,800 And the chips are great and the portion size really good. 1077 01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:31,640 So because I can't really have gluten or dairy, oh special boy 1078 01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:35,840 vulnerable. I don't, I don't have any of the 1079 01:00:35,840 --> 01:00:37,160 stuff I used to have in a chippy. 1080 01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:39,440 So I do you know what I actually love? 1081 01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:44,000 Just a big chip, just a big old and chip with salt, vinegar or 1082 01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:46,200 red sauce. I feel like you can't go wrong 1083 01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:48,000 with that. Thank you very much for all the 1084 01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:50,680 questions that that came in.
