I'm feeling good. 16 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,160 A lot of people are like NBC money toad. 17 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,360 Are you getting that resting because you're complaining that 18 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,920 you're only really getting to sleep because you're selfish, 19 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,800 baby, You're only really getting to sleep, you know, 3 hours, 20 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,160 four hours a night. Any any progress on that? 21 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,800 Yeah, I'm getting 10 minutes more than I was. 22 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,600 So it's all good and I feel better. 23 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:18,320 I look good, even though I kind of have one curtain, you know, 24 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,720 But that's just why I wanted it. It's it's a fun time. 25 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,280 I take my shoes off here, If I'm totally honest, from my house, 26 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,480 my podcast, that's that's the way it's going to be. 27 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,200 It's a shoes off. In fact, everyone, everyone 28 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:30,880 listening, watching take two shoes off. 29 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,080 Thank you, appreciate that. It was always weird when you 30 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,360 went into someone's house and they were like my mom and dad 31 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:38,520 say you have to take your shoes off. 32 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,560 I mean, that's going to be someone who has just had too 33 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,080 much dog shit trample through the house. 34 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,480 I get it. And the Japanese love that as 35 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,840 well. Not dog shit, could make a joke 36 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,480 there will not. I was going to say not the 37 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:57,880 Japanese, but here's the thing. Here's the thing. 38 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,000 I think in a lot of Asian cultures, and I don't know what 39 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,360 I'm basing this on, you're not supposed to wear your shoes 40 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,400 indoors. And I be, I'll be honest, I 41 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:08,960 don't think there were socks indoors either. 42 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,000 And that's just something that you have to respect if you ever 43 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:17,200 find yourself, you know, in Asia, which I've never been to 44 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,400 Asia, but I, I think I would like it. 45 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:24,520 I think I'd like to go to Tokyo because it seems a bit, a little 46 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:29,040 bit mad. You know, I don't know what I'm 47 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:30,480 talking about, but all I know is this. 48 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,640 It's been a crazy week online. I feel like we're going to talk 49 00:02:35,640 --> 00:02:37,920 about it unless there's questions someone will have 50 00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:42,040 asked it. I I I don't know. 51 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,080 It seems. Do you know, I got into this 52 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,720 weird thing of like someone who doesn't watch the news or really 53 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,880 read the news. Sorry. 54 00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:53,960 Hold on. Speaking The news, Mickey 55 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,800 Bartlett speaking. I mean, that's where this is 56 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,880 where I get my news from. Mickey. 57 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,680 They're bringing in chlorinated meat soon, boys. 58 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,200 I don't know what that is. Is it meat with chlorine in it? 59 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,280 I don't know. Listen, here's the thing. 60 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,440 I swam and stuff for every Wednesday for about 10 years 61 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,120 when I was young swimming and hasn't done me any harm. 62 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,640 I mean, I have no feeling in the skull. 63 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,160 But apart from that, it's all good. 64 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,760 Chlorinated chicken. It's one of those things. 65 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,200 And that we'll just, we'll just cross that bridge when we come 66 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,200 to, you know, it's not a topic for this podcast. 67 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,120 What we talk about in this podcast is life. 68 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,600 What we talk about is facts. We talk finance, we talk 69 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:43,880 entertainment, we talk Goss and I, I don't know, I was saying 70 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,040 like for someone who doesn't watch the news, this week has 71 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:52,360 been a mad week and this is how you desensitised you to it all. 72 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:59,400 I, I didn't even watch the, all the footage of the giant bomb 73 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,760 that went off in Beirut. I didn't even watch it because 74 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,920 it was being sent round on WhatsApp and people and people 75 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,920 posting up on the Facebook, people who, you know, given 76 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,040 their take on it and it's horrible. 77 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,200 I think, I think I can't even watch or read about that kind of 78 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:18,760 thing. And maybe that's ignorant, but, 79 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,880 but I don't know. The money, the money tools 80 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,360 operate in very little sleep. He's got the claws out. 81 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,040 He's been very, very bitchy to a lot of people. 82 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,840 You know, for example, I put up a picture of me and Dave Elliott 83 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,920 this morning because tonight we're back on BBC Radio Ulster 5 84 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,920 past 6, The lads, the She and Todd show, BBC Radio Ulster 85 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,120 TuneIn. I want to see all the sippers 86 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,920 over there just drinking tea and enjoying the beats. 87 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,080 But I've got a picture of me and Dave. 88 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,560 Well it was actually Simon and Garfunkel. 89 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,080 This guy Craig writes under. Probably a great guy, probably 90 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,880 not Craig writes under it. I said here's me and Dave Ellie 91 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,320 getting ready for the show on Friday. 92 00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,520 He said, is that not Simon and Garfunkel? 93 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,800 Now, I like banter like that, where you point out something 94 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,640 very obvious and pretend that you didn't know if the person 95 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,880 meant it or not. So I liked it from Craig, but he 96 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,320 spelled Garfunkel wrong. And I saw an opportunity and I 97 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,480 point to my closet and I said no minute Simon and Garfunkel, but 98 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,640 I spelled it the right way. And then I said, Craig, delete 99 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,760 your social media immediately. All accounts. 100 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,200 And that's kind of the vibe we're in right now. 101 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,400 I'm just telling people, hey, you know, delete this. 102 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,960 I want people to apologise for things I don't know. 103 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:33,160 Social media has become, maybe it's always been this like Wild 104 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,760 West type thing and your boy likes to just put up cute 105 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:41,600 pictures of himself and plug, plug the podcast and shows and 106 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,240 that's all it's going to be. I don't know, there's, there's 107 00:05:44,280 --> 00:05:49,880 just so much going on and then the money toad just wants to sit 108 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,280 in his lolly pad and enjoy himself. 109 00:05:52,280 --> 00:05:55,760 And I think the sippers are the same before we get into the pod 110 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,040 because we do have loads of listeners questions and there's 111 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,560 something I want to watch, but I don't know what the type to get 112 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:02,760 it. So we're just going to see if 113 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,440 that works.

Guys, I'm doing the team with me 147 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,280 podcast live recording at the minute. 148 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,400 I need to know something. There was this video that came 149 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,600 out and it's a it was like a Northern Irish boy band filmed 150 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,000 down like Harlan and Wolf Docks. If anyone knows what that is, 151 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,000 please send me the name of it or the link to it. 152 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:17,120 Thank you. This is some Inception podcast 153 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,480 shit right now. Yeah. 154 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,400 So we'll, we'll find that because I really want to see it. 155 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,160 I think it was like from about 10 years ago and it was just a 156 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,560 load of guys from Northern Ireland doing like, full dance 157 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,280 routine. But they were like my age, you 158 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:31,840 know what I mean? Like slightly too old to be 159 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,600 doing it. Like, I mean, I could still 160 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,960 probably be in a boy band, but I think they would lie about my 161 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:38,480 age in it. They'd be one of those ones. 162 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,320 I don't know, like that. That's the beginning. 163 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,680 The the the main time you realise that you're old is 164 00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:48,360 whenever you realise you would be in the over 20 fives on X 165 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,560 Factor, because whenever you're a kid, you're like over 20 166 00:08:50,560 --> 00:08:51,520 fives. That's ancient. 167 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,240 And then you get to 32 and you're like, Oh my God, I would 168 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,960 be in the over 20 fives Sep for seven years. 169 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,320 Just one of those people that keeps going back on X Factor. 170 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,880 What about those guys? You know, Louis, like, and we've 171 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:05,280 seen you before. Is that right? 172 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,360 So bad? We've seen, I'm lowly Walsh, 173 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:11,880 we've seen you before, is that right? 174 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,720 And Simon called like a man. You've been back loads of times. 175 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,040 And yeah, there's guys who are always, always on X Factor and 176 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:22,960 they're like, you know, just feel like I've gone away and 177 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,680 worked on what I needed to. And with hindsight I realised I 178 00:09:26,680 --> 00:09:28,160 wasn't ready when I thought it was. 179 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,240 And then they get through. But a judge's houses, they get 180 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,120 told no. What about when people get told 181 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,800 whatever? You get told no judge's houses 182 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,960 and X Factor and like claps under the ground crime. 183 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,080 It's a it's a singing competition. 184 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,760 Don't worry about it. Speaking of singing, I'm not 185 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,480 doing those Jingle ads anymore. I've retired. 186 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:49,800 Just want to throw that out there. 187 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,680 You know, like Connolly's and Moy, you've seen me do Martin 188 00:09:54,680 --> 00:09:57,920 Phillips floors, all that kind of thing. 189 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,120 I'm done. I want to focus on comedy now. 190 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,120 We've been there, we've done it, we've worn AT shirt. 191 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,760 That's not the phrase, is it? Been there, done there, bought, 192 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,440 been there, done that, bought the T-shirt and speaking the 193 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,400 T-shirt, I thought I'd let you know this. 194 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:11,760 That's just cropped into my mind. 195 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,640 Whenever I was in New York or whenever I was a kid, there was 196 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,120 what looked like a German man or definitely like a European man. 197 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,040 Well, he was pretty fat and he was walking about in a red 198 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:26,160 T-shirt with white writing. And it said you the man, but you 199 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:31,120 and da were very close together. And I remember turning to my 200 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,160 mother and saying, mother, it looks like his T-shirt says UDA 201 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,360 man. And it didn't get enough of a 202 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,400 reaction. But I thought at the time that 203 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,600 that was very funny that I noticed that and I thought it 204 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,560 was quite fun. I mean, the alternative is funny 205 00:10:43,560 --> 00:10:47,040 as well that he's actually just from the Shankill or anywhere 206 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,280 else. Apologies to anyone from the 207 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,320 Shankle, but there definitely is guys in paramilitaries in the 208 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,160 Shankle. Like let's not we, let's not lie 209 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,040 about it. Let's definitely not lie about 210 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:56,720 it. I'd say every town and village 211 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,520 in Northern Ireland there is one person at least in a 212 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,920 paramilitary. Fair enough. 213 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,000 And I'm just saying in the Shankle there's at least 2. 214 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,960 I don't know, maybe I should I might start a paramilitary but 215 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:18,440 just be like like dead on, like listen rubbish and all, but but 216 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,640 then balaclavas. I mean definitely weird chat, 217 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,040 definitely weird chat. All right, I've loads of 218 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,080 listeners questions. I'm going to wait on that video 219 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,400 being sent in to me and we're just going to go through the 220 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:29,920 listeners questions. It's going to be a laid back 221 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:31,560 part and open sent us for a while. 222 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,600 We're back in the studio next week. 223 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:39,120 We're 100% back in the studio next week, Anthony McWilliams 224 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:40,920 says. Have you ever contributed the 225 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,280 loud flag shoot Snitches Get stitches And is it really that 226 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,440 bad in the BBC comedy writing room? 227 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,880 I love to digest here. I'm not going to spend too long 228 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:54,080 on it, but have I ever contributed the loud, loud flag? 229 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:58,520 Was I'm Loud Flag was a social media account set up during the 230 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:02,080 flag protest that basically parody all the stuff that was 231 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:06,040 going on. And you never know who you never 232 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,400 knew who it was behind it. Then it came out who it was. 233 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,160 Then this Sunday in the newspapers, that person outed 234 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:18,200 somebody else that was in it. People free to look that up 235 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,960 themselves. And, and a lot of people were 236 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,960 talking about it. So it's not like I'm breaking 237 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:27,800 the news to you. And I think anything that's set 238 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,640 up to party something. And if you're taking the piss 239 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,320 out of something in a fairway, that's fine. 240 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,160 I'm a comedian. So I'm, I don't, I don't police 241 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:40,160 comedy, you know, I don't, whether I think something's 242 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,200 funny or not or offensive or not. 243 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,680 I'm not saying it is offensive. I, I remember seeing the lab 244 00:12:46,680 --> 00:12:49,800 flag stuff in the first day, six months that was around and then 245 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:55,360 never seen it again. But yeah, and a lot of people 246 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,160 are like, it turned into this thing, you know, it turned in, 247 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:02,200 it turns to carry and it turned this, it turned out I, I don't 248 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,000 know and I genuinely don't have an opinion. 249 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,680 If you listen to the podcast, you know, I don't fence it. 250 00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:11,840 I'll tell you like my opinion on something, my honest opinion on 251 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,200 something because I'll ramble about it. 252 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:18,400 So it's never like prehearsed. But I, I don't police comedy. 253 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:23,560 I don't tell anybody else how to whether something is sort of 254 00:13:23,560 --> 00:13:27,600 funny or not. I'm trying not to be rambling 255 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,720 here. What I mean is whether it turned 256 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,680 into what people say it did. I, I don't know because I, I, I 257 00:13:35,680 --> 00:13:38,200 actually didn't know it was still going in all honesty. 258 00:13:40,680 --> 00:13:45,880 But I do remember that that account used to very heavily 259 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:50,080 troll Mickey Bartlett a wee bit myself mean time to time. 260 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,280 It mainly had to go with a show called Monumental, which was a 261 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,800 panel show from here that was on BBC Northern Ireland for two 262 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,920 series. Mickey was a regular team 263 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,640 captain on it. I did 1 episode and I just 264 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:07,440 remember getting a lot of tweets from the LAD flag account which 265 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,640 bear in mind was set up to party the flag protest and it was all 266 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,720 like this show isn't funny and why is this on TV? 267 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,120 Maybe not said in that way, but very much like not being cute 268 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:19,560 about like very much being direct. 269 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,880 And then the account would just comment on like videos I've done 270 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:28,120 or and I I wasn't getting as bad as I definitely remember Mickey 271 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,640 getting it a lot and always having a back and forward with 272 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:36,520 him, which I mean, it's fine, but the idea that there's no 273 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:41,040 face or name to put to it, it just makes me feel awkward about 274 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,840 it or, or like uneasy. I'm like, well, let's have a 275 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:44,960 comment. Who are you? 276 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:50,000 You know, who are you? And so I hated that. 277 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:54,280 I hated that it was trying to be a comedy account, but it was it 278 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,600 was slagging off local comedians and it was anonymous. 279 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:02,400 So I never liked that about it and I could tell there was 280 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:07,200 always what I felt there was always like a thing of whoever 281 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,360 was behind it, whether individually or collectively was 282 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:14,200 like we should be on TV. In fact, I'm pretty sure they 283 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:18,200 said in the tweet that Adam and Mickey wants something along the 284 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:22,320 lines of sure, BBC wanted us, but but we said no or whatever. 285 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,680 It's irrelevant. To answer your question, yes, I 286 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:33,840 was there. To answer your question, yes. 287 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:40,080 I was the moderator for three years and and a lot of people 288 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,920 would say as soon as I joined, the sectarianism went through 289 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,200 the roof. No, but if it or not, I was not 290 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,880 involved because if I was, then I used it to slag myself off, 291 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,120 which might have been actually pretty smart to make it seem 292 00:15:52,120 --> 00:16:00,920 that it wasn't in it. No, all the controversy around 293 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:07,480 it this week and all the comments about it, it seems like 294 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:12,120 let me take a sip of cold tea. Let me take a sip of cold tea 295 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,840 It. It was an uncomfortable time to 296 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,240 like read about it, to see about it. 297 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:35,960 There was people involved. I didn't want to get involved in 298 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,840 a conversation. The whole time the conversation 299 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,120 was going on, I was like, thank God this is nothing to do with 300 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:44,800 me. Because I think if you, if you 301 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,840 in this day and age, like if you I'm probably of all time, if you 302 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:55,320 do something anonymously, if you do something, you know, under an 303 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,000 alias or whatever, it will always come back to you. 304 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,200 It will always come back to you. And there will be people as soon 305 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,760 as it does come back to you, they use it to constantly attack 306 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:10,800 you. And so when it when it I never 307 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:14,240 had any like long term, like they slagged me off whoever that 308 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,920 was, you know, because because it was a faceless person, there 309 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,079 wasn't really much to think about. 310 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:23,520 But yeah, the I was like, I'm not involved in this 311 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,040 conversation. I was obviously reading about 312 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,000 it, watching about it, all that kind of thing online. 313 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:33,480 And then I was brought into the conversation in one very 314 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:41,560 insignificant tweet where one of the original guys from lad Flag, 315 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:46,320 his wife said, just to let you know, my husband was never 316 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:52,760 motivated but by trying to like be a BBC writer or get on TV or 317 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,680 yeah, or be she's like, he didn't want to be in the BBC 318 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,760 writers room with the likes of Give My Hairpiece and Shane 319 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,880 Todd. Now what? 320 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,640 What I didn't like about it was that I wasn't tagged in it 321 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,160 right? Because like, because if you 322 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:10,480 want to, if, if you wanna throw shots at mummy, definitely let 323 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,760 Mummy know that it's happening. The mummy saw it, don't get me 324 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,520 wrong, 'cause immediately seppers were like, hey, why is 325 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,680 he getting brought into this? And it reminded me of whenever I 326 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,920 was like a teenager outside nightclubs. 327 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,200 It reminded me of any time a fight would kick off. 328 00:18:23,360 --> 00:18:26,160 For some reason, girls I'd never met before will always feel the 329 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,720 need to like protect me. If guys were fighting and I was 330 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,440 near girls be like, don't be smacking him. 331 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,760 No, here, leave him out of it. He's only small. 332 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,640 I'd be like in the middle of a ring of girls, like chained 333 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,440 around me going leave him. Leave him. 334 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,280 He's he's weak. You know I need yous here. 335 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:48,760 But it did. But yeah, it especially doing 336 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:50,880 the episode with sorry if there's rambling right and 337 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,520 sorry, this is not interesting some people, but doing the 338 00:18:54,520 --> 00:19:00,320 episode of tea with me with Tim earlier in the week to be like 339 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,440 thrown in with like they give my headpiece guys is nothing but a 340 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,800 compliment. It's nothing but a compliment 341 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:11,360 because they have been on our screens and making people laugh 342 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:16,600 for literally decades. So I actually took it as a 343 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,560 little bit of a compliment. And look, did I have a tweet 344 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,520 written out that my wife taught me how to post in? 345 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:27,520 Yes, yes, that is the case. She's like, you're a 32 year old 346 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,920 father. You need to not be involved in 347 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:31,360 this. Don't put yourself in this. 348 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:35,920 And that's where I was like, yes, yes, that is why I 349 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:40,600 shouldn't be allowed a phone because what I was going to do 350 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,720 is and the reason I didn't do this is because I was like, this 351 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,280 is a horrible ride that's going on. 352 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,800 I don't want to be a part of it. But I was going to write back 353 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,440 and say sorry. It took me a while to respond to 354 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,680 this tweet. But me in the hole in the wall 355 00:19:55,680 --> 00:20:00,000 gang have as per been done at the bank cashing cheques. 356 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,720 And I was going to mock up a photo of me and the whole cast 357 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,960 to get my headpiece. With wheelbarrows and money. 358 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,520 But I didn't do that. But I want to let you know that 359 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:12,040 I thought about doing that and my wife said no, and I do what I 360 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:16,200 want. But I said OK and I got my 361 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,640 friend to mock up a little picture of me and Uncle Andy. 362 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:26,040 And I said, excuse me and everybody wins because I'm not 363 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:30,840 attacking anyone, but I'm having a laugh with everyone at my own 364 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,520 expense. So I thought that that was nice 365 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:40,200 to be involved in that way. But yeah, to summarise, no, I 366 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:44,920 have never been a member of the LAD flag account. 367 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,280 So there we go. But there will always be that 368 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,640 question mark. Considering how much I was like 369 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,520 no, because they slagged me. So, you know, you make up your 370 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:59,000 own mind, but, but no. And Anthony McWilliams is it? 371 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,480 Is it that bad being in the BBC comedy writers room? 372 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:07,880 No, it's great, but genuinely an ambition of mine that I've had 373 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:09,440 for her. How lame is this? 374 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,320 Right? Just it's an ambition of mine 375 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:15,200 that I've had for genuinely since I started, since before I 376 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,440 started comedy, in fact since I was in primary school. 377 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:25,160 In P7 I was chatting to my friend Chris McBride and we came 378 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,640 up with an idea for ATV show called The Kings of Comedy. 379 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:32,360 Now it was probably a little bit, what would you say, 380 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,640 premature for us to label ourselves the Kings of Comedy, 381 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,480 considering we were P7 in downtown primary school and had 382 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,880 not yet published any material. But we were going to do this 383 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:48,680 live sketch show on BBC One day. So it's pretty great actually to 384 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:55,440 be doing stuff in BBC with BBC. And I finished my schedule this 385 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,400 week. Or not? 386 00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,960 Not my schedule, my archive show. 387 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,080 Previously machine thought, I think it's on in August, but I'm 388 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,400 not too sure. But it was a lot of fun. 389 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,840 There was an era where they deleted a little bit of footage 390 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:10,400 and I had to go back in and film some stuff. 391 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,920 I just want to say my attitude was phenomenal throughout that 392 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:14,320 and I want everyone to know that. 393 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,760 And it's a shame that we filmed it under social distance and 394 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,960 measures because it was just a crew of three and I wish there 395 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,880 was a lot more people. So everybody knew, hey, he 396 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,640 approached this with a good attitude, even though he had to 397 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,760 come back in and he's getting an hour and a half sleep and I and 398 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:31,920 he still and to quote everyone there, know that to quote me, he 399 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,480 still look great. There you go. 400 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:34,560 My hair's a little bit different. 401 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:35,920 A couple of scenes. Don't worry about that. 402 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:40,280 Don't ever ever comment that. I mean this don't ever write 403 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,320 whenever the show comes out. Hey, man, why from one episode 404 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:45,880 to the other is your hair a different length? 405 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,560 Because if you do, you'll end up in the Gabri and that's all I'm 406 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,640 saying. Anthony, thanks for your 407 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,680 question. Sorry about the seven R answer 408 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,680 to it. Lisa Harker, do you laugh at 409 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,560 your own jokes? I do. 410 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:06,600 To summarise, sorry, I don't think stand up should ever tell 411 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:12,080 stand ups how to do stand up or be like that's good or that's 412 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,160 bad. There you go. 413 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,600 Just write jokes. That's what you ought to do. 414 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:18,720 That's all. You should be worried about. 415 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:30,240 Lisa Harker, who if you know the Maggie Moth character, nearly 416 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:36,760 giggle when I said moth from loads of stage shows around 417 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,600 Northern Ireland, very popular character. 418 00:23:39,360 --> 00:23:42,960 I think Lisa wrote or was involved with. 419 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,600 It was 50 Shades of red, white and blue, which was like a 50 420 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,720 Shades of Grey party, which was very, very popular. 421 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,960 Lisa says, do you laugh at your own jokes? 422 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,680 And then she says, I do. Do I laugh at my own jokes? 423 00:23:55,680 --> 00:24:01,480 My podcast is usually an hour long episode twice a week of of 424 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,440 me laughing at my own jokes. There's nobody else here because 425 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:08,240 we're not in the studio so it is essentially just me laughing at 426 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:09,600 my own jokes. I've probably done it a couple 427 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,200 times up until now and I'll do it more. 428 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,000 I love to laugh at my own jokes. No one finds me funnier than me 429 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,200 and if audiences find me half as funny I'll be selling more 430 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:23,120 tickets if that's possible. They say I think you have to 431 00:24:23,120 --> 00:24:26,920 laugh at your own jokes. I love when people comment and 432 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,880 stuff and be like, this guy just cracks himself up. 433 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:34,080 Yes he does. 1000 percent, 1000%. 434 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,800 I will say this happens a lot. That should have got more. 435 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,400 That should have got more. I think you have to laugh at 436 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:44,640 your own jokes. Rebus says how best you strain a 437 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:45,680 tea bag. Rebus. 438 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,120 That's disgusting. Getting it out of the cup of the 439 00:24:48,120 --> 00:24:51,520 spoon is a given, but do you risk squeezing the last of the 440 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,200 tea goodness out of it with a finger, potentially burning up 441 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,520 your precious digit? Do you take the time to find 442 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,480 something else to drain it or does it get binned? 443 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:03,120 Revis, what are you? That got very, very dirty and 444 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:08,600 it's taking a risk in a digit. That's the name of this podcast. 445 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,240 There we go. Risk in a digit. 446 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,120 So oh, no, burning your precious digit. 447 00:25:17,120 --> 00:25:18,320 Yeah. OK, let's go up. 448 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,840 Burning your precious digit? No, I'm a spoon guy. 449 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,200 So I'll spoon. I'll spoon the table at 1520 450 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,960 times, press against the side, press against the side again, 451 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,840 give a quick drain, throw in the bin. 452 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,400 Simple as that. Anyone who does anything 453 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:40,600 different, you're going to Magaberry, Noah Ballard says. 454 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:45,760 Let me see, Noah says. Thoughts on this ingenious 455 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,120 innovation or blasphemy? Tea in a microwave? 456 00:25:49,120 --> 00:25:51,000 New research says it could be the perfect couple. 457 00:25:51,240 --> 00:26:01,040 My thoughts on that immediately are anger or confusion and just 458 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:05,880 sheer dismissal. Let me see. 459 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,600 The scientists think they may have hit the head on the perfect 460 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,840 cup of tea. They make it in the microwave. 461 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,000 The Chinese are behind this shocker. 462 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:20,920 Have they not done enough damage? 463 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,200 Coronavirus gets out of the of the lab and Wuhan and like this. 464 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:41,760 Let me see. So I don't like the way this 465 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,800 article is written, but all I'll say is I would be tempted to try 466 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,040 it because you've got to try it to slag it. 467 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,560 So I'll try tea in a microwave, Noah and I will update you guys 468 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,800 and let you know how I got on now, Dalton, if you could be 469 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,000 sponsored by one sports brand, what would it be? 470 00:26:58,120 --> 00:27:03,320 Nike, my man, just do it 100%. I'll just say this guy's first 471 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:04,920 name in case he wasn't allowed to do what he did. 472 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:12,600 But my man Stevie may or may not work for a sports brand that has 473 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,360 may or may not already been mentioned. 474 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,080 And and one day he was like, listen, I've loaded gear for you 475 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,320 here, Not gears in gear. I mean gears in like sweet 476 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,240 threads. He's like almost, almost far, 477 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:25,840 far down to you or come pick them up. 478 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,080 And for some reason I thought it was like I was like, that's 479 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:30,520 pretty kind. I thought it was like maybe like 480 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,200 AT shirt and pair of socks And I was like, nice one man. 481 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,280 We were like ships in the night. We always missed each other and 482 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:40,440 you know, I was like going away for a while he was away working. 483 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,120 Then eventually at one day I was like here I could call up on 484 00:27:43,120 --> 00:27:45,880 grab bug, go to his house. He's like oh mate, there you go, 485 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:48,840 there you go. Just some stuff we had like 486 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:50,680 lying about. So I thought you'd enjoy this. 487 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,440 It was what can only be described as 7 tonnes of 488 00:27:55,560 --> 00:28:00,960 phenomenal night gear and it's stuff that I wear pretty much 489 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:05,480 every day I lay up here. I did such a 14 year old girl 490 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,520 thing. I laid all the clothes out that 491 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,840 he gave me. I took pictures of them and I 492 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,520 sent them to my friends. And there was some football tops 493 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,400 in there and hoodies and tracksuit bottoms and T-shirts. 494 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:19,360 And it made me like extremely happy because when he gave me 495 00:28:19,360 --> 00:28:23,040 this stuff, he gave me the big black Nike rucksack and I just 496 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,080 left out of my passenger seat and just drove home. 497 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,680 But like what's in there? And then I got home and I was so 498 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,760 happy. That's such a young boy thing to 499 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:35,560 say. And I was happy. 500 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,720 It was good. But it was. 501 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,520 And Stevie, we should, we should we should make that a monthly 502 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,680 thing. That's very me. 503 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:45,880 Hey, man, I really appreciate that. 504 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,440 Let's let's, let's, let's send over gear as it gets released. 505 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,160 So yeah, now I definitely go Nike. 506 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,840 Karen Fleming, what's the monster on your bed called? 507 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:03,360 Yeah, I did say earlier that I I put up a tweet saying that. 508 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:13,440 I put up a tweet saying that I'm a 32 year old with a three-week 509 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,240 old son, but I still run and jump into the bed in case a 510 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:21,880 monster grabs my foot there. There is some truth in that. 511 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,680 I hear thing. The reality somewhere in 512 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,400 between. I don't run and jump into bed. 513 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,880 I do walk and get into bed, but I don't hang about at the bottom 514 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,800 of the bed, Put it that way. I don't mess about and stand in 515 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,960 gossip with my feet directly beside the bottom of the bed. 516 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:43,400 I do get him pretty sharpish and the monster under my bed is 517 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:49,360 called rail mode, but he was called that before the rail 518 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,040 mode. It's just coincidence. 519 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:59,360 I think that's it on Twitter and then Instagram. 520 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:04,120 Let's see who we've got. Oh, Johnny, Johnny Bo coming in 521 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:08,200 with a very good joke there. I put that video out saying just 522 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,040 there now that Instagram post being like, what was that boy 523 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,960 band called that did a video of them did an entertainment around 524 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,960 Harlem Wolf and Johnny Bo said, I think it was these Belfast 525 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:17,840 Protestant boys. Johnny, 7 out of 10. 526 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:30,200 I enjoyed that. Yeah, that's I'm doing a gig and 527 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:34,440 then the guy run. That's like here, can you do a 528 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,160 track and trace? I don't know what a track and 529 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:41,480 trace is. I'm going to say I'm just going 530 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:47,400 to say sorry guys, I don't know what a track and trace is. 531 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:49,440 I mean, presume it's to do with COVID. 532 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,800 And I'll say this about COVID. I started wearing a mask in the 533 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:53,640 shop. As I said last week in the 534 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:57,840 podcast, an update, I went into a garage to do some shopping 535 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:01,840 today and I was wearing a mask and I would 60 people in there. 536 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,080 Nobody else was. So I took it off because I 537 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:09,040 thought it was weird and that is why COVID still knocking about 538 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:13,480 because people like me, Johnny Dempster, would you just get 539 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,040 straight into it? Would you rather have teeth for 540 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:19,120 pubes or pubes for teeth and definitely teeth for pubes. 541 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,960 I would enjoy that because pubes teeth would would not be a good 542 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:25,600 look. I wouldn't get any more TV 543 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:29,440 programmes. Luke Atkinson asked the same 544 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,480 question. I don't know whether those guys 545 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,120 are married or friends or that's just a coincidence, but there 546 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,320 you go. Stephen has sent me a link. 547 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,000 I hope it's the link I'm looking for. 548 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:45,920 And I'm not like a link to like discount poppers or something, 549 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:52,080 but I hope it is a link. Wilkinson half line. 550 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,760 We we might. We might have the video. 551 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:05,040 OK, Wait, wait. No, no. 552 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,800 That's not what I'm looking for. Featuring Tom King. 553 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:14,200 No put say thanks, but no, that's not what I'm looking for. 554 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:18,800 Steven reckons he's got what I'm looking for here. 555 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:23,040 Let me see. Please be it. 556 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,440 Someone sent me this a while ago on the podcast, but we were 557 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,280 doing something else so we didn't get wrong to talking 558 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:33,760 about it. OK, OK, Stephen, you sent me a 559 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,880 link to Rick Astley. Never going to give you you've 560 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:39,160 Rickrolled me. You've rickrolled me and I'm 561 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:44,600 blocking you from Instagram. So there you go, Stephen. 562 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:53,080 Stephen, delete your account now and and turn yourself into your 563 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:59,280 nearest police station because that's just fucking rude to do 564 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:00,480 that. But I appreciate it. 565 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:04,920 And I went through the length of copying because you can't just 566 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,160 click on the Instagram link. So I copied it into my browser 567 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,680 and then I paste and that's upsetting. 568 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,240 Patrick Quinn, the artist formerly known as the Belfast 569 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,440 guy in China. But he says he doesn't know how 570 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,920 his name on Instagram changed and not be the Belfast guy in 571 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:24,480 China. But I think we're going to, you 572 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:29,320 know, we could spend a long time, you know, figuring out 573 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,400 what, what the crack with that is or what happened. 574 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,000 But I can only presume that it was an inside job by the Chinese 575 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,120 government to change your name. Let me see. 576 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:40,360 Patrick says. Have you got a full set of new 577 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,480 material ready for when you're back on stage? 578 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:46,160 Will you break into some smooth Craig David's vocals mid stand 579 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,400 up? It may have had its day, but 580 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,760 fans deserve even one for their money. 581 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,760 First of all, to answer your question, yes I reckon I've 582 00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:00,320 written about 45 minutes worth of stand up in lockdown but I'm 583 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,080 not 100% sure. But there's no guarantee with 584 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:04,480 that. So while I've written the 585 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:06,960 material, who knows if it's going to work. 586 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:08,719 I'm looking at it going. That's funny. 587 00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,480 But I might get up on stage, try it 10 times and it might never 588 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,440 work. So I think I've been pretty 589 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:18,040 prolific with my joke writing and that is always my advice to 590 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,840 stand ups or anyone who's trying to get into stand up is just 591 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,120 right material. Just you can't go wrong if you 592 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,080 just write jokes, just write material. 593 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:27,120 That's what you do if you're a stand up. 594 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:33,520 So I've been writing a lot of stuff and I had written loads of 595 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,239 thoughts and ideas before lockdown. 596 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,719 So this was a good chance to do it and I'm just chipping away. 597 00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:42,600 I'm actually doing my first gig this Saturday night. 598 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:45,920 So tomorrow night, if you're watching this on Friday and I'm 599 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:49,120 breaking it, I'm very nervous. I feel like I'm rusty like any 600 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:51,840 anybody would even. And well, that's weird because 601 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,560 I'm very, very talented at stand up. 602 00:34:54,560 --> 00:35:00,040 But but then I'm buzzing for it. I'm really looking forward to 603 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,240 it. But The thing is, do I try all 604 00:35:02,240 --> 00:35:05,640 this new material I have or do I go back and just get back into 605 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,320 the rhythm on? But by doing tried and testing 606 00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,560 material, I think I'll do a condemnation of both. 607 00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:12,920 But for the first time, I'm typing my material up, I'm 608 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,760 printing it out just so I can walk around the house trying to 609 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:17,280 learn it. But it's good. 610 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:18,920 I mean, not except the game out of your comfort zone. 611 00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,640 Like that's good. I know that I'm a good stand up. 612 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:26,320 I know people come to my shows, which is brilliant. 613 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:32,720 So I am good at it. But four or five months without 614 00:35:32,720 --> 00:35:36,680 doing it is huge. It's like if you didn't drive 615 00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,000 for that long the first time you got in a car, you'd be nervous 616 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:40,560 and you'd probably make a couple of mistakes. 617 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,240 Or any job you just take or you like, you don't go to the gym 618 00:35:45,240 --> 00:35:47,000 for that time, you're not going to be as strong. 619 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,520 But hopefully I just fall back into the routine of it. 620 00:35:50,240 --> 00:35:54,600 I'm buzzing to do it. I've got new material I like and 621 00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:59,280 I just need to get better with. I have a thought for stand up by 622 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,720 the idea and I just try and get a gig that night just to do that 623 00:36:02,720 --> 00:36:06,600 material. But I probably need the finesse 624 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,880 it a wee bit more before I do it because I'll try it and it'll be 625 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,960 like too long the material, but I'll just stick with it. 626 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,120 So I need to just be a wee bit more ruthless with my own 627 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:17,360 writing. That's something Tim said on 628 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:19,520 Wednesday that I definitely took out of my chat with him. 629 00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:21,520 The fact that he writes in a team. 630 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,200 You can, someone else can go. I know you like that joke. 631 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,080 I don't think it works. And then you go, fair enough. 632 00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:31,560 When you just write everything by yourself, it's more difficult 633 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,520 to just like let jokes go because you're like, no, I wrote 634 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,720 that. So I'm pausing to get back at 635 00:36:37,720 --> 00:36:39,240 it. We never found out what the name 636 00:36:39,240 --> 00:36:41,480 of that boy band song was. But when we're back in studio, 637 00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:44,520 we will do that. I'm going to wrap up the pod 638 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:48,440 because I'm back. I'm playing football tonight, 639 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:53,120 which I'm excited for doing some socially distance training and 640 00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,360 then and I've just been a bit flat out. 641 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,080 So I feel like I've rambled and I don't want to ramble on too 642 00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,280 much more. I'll save it for being back in 643 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,560 the studio next week, which I'm really excited about. 644 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:08,840 Let me plug our sponsor, which is manscapedmanscaped.com. 645 00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,360 The discount code is tea with me. 646 00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:15,480 Manscaped have the lawnmower 3 point O, which is essentially 647 00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,400 Speaking of pubes like we were.
