1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,720
I want to know lads do use 
actually like the amble because 

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:07,320
I looked up the meaning of the 
word and it's like a slow walk 

3
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:09,000
or a Thunder I. 
Think that's all we do? 

4
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:11,360
It's great. 
We're nothing better. 

5
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:12,680
Like. 
We're very lay back like. 

6
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:17,200
Where do you like the around? 
Like would it be like a time 

7
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,600
where you're playing a show, 
your countryside guys or? 

8
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,040
I think as soon as we like, when
we're touring, as soon as we get

9
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,840
off the bus, we literally go for
an amble that's. 

10
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,200
Yeah, I get so much stick. 
Like I was getting stick to the 

11
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,200
night because my girlfriend is 
like, I won't do anything. 

12
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:30,640
Like I won't do like an 
activity. 

13
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,439
Yeah, like I don't want to go 
fucking bowling and stuff. 

14
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,480
Yeah, but I go for. 
I just walk anywhere. 

15
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,520
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 
See, this is where me you're 

16
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,840
different. 
See on tour I love like an 

17
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:40,160
arcade. 
Yeah, I like. 

18
00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:40,760
Activities. 
No. 

19
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,360
Yeah. 
No, she. 

20
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:44,840
Just go for a walk. 
Yeah, Amble is the person. 

21
00:00:45,480 --> 00:00:49,360
No, it is like we also like we 
look at the phone every now and 

22
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,400
again and we'll go to how many 
steps we're done. 

23
00:00:51,480 --> 00:00:52,160
Yeah. 
And we don't. 

24
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,760
Know, but I think I think on an 
animal like we're not, it's not 

25
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,400
about the steps. 
No, no, no. 

26
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,560
Because you're not actually 
getting many steps in, yeah. 

27
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:02,800
You know, I think that's us 
trying to make ourselves feel 

28
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:03,920
better. 
No, no, 100%. 

29
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:05,920
We haven't done her on in six 
weeks. 

30
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,480
Yeah, sure, I did. 3000 seconds.
I'm at the age where my hands go

31
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,840
behind my back on an album 
that's that's a good thing. 

32
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,480
And a virgin on a whistle like I
want you want you start that 

33
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:16,640
like your goal. 
That's a good. 

34
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:17,760
That's a good face. 
Yeah. 

35
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,280
Yeah. 
I'm curious to know like you 

36
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,640
were doing the SSC Arena tonight
in Belfast and very casual to be

37
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,680
just doing a pod the afternoon 
of the show, which I like 

38
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,600
because I don't like waiting all
day for a show. 

39
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:33,160
And just like that's the only 
way I would get nervous is if I 

40
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,120
like sit around all day. 
Yeah. 

41
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,720
But like what I want to know is 
on the way here. 

42
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,680
Is there a service station Stop 
presuming you've come up from 

43
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,760
Dublin or whatever it's. 
Two or three. 

44
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,440
And then what I want to know is,
is there an animal in the apple 

45
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,480
green? 
Because that's what I like. 

46
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,240
Like hands behind the bag. 
Yeah. 

47
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,320
Yeah. 
Now is this a Jews like the big 

48
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,240
service station or do you like 
to go to the the sort of the 

49
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,920
smaller ones? 
No, I love, love a big service. 

50
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,880
So there's a Taco Bell now and 
apple green somewhere, Yeah. 

51
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,039
I was, I had this last year on 
Greg's there and now we're going

52
00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:10,360
the way up. 
Where are we? 

53
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:13,120
Yeah, we did. 
Yeah, did. 

54
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,680
We the Taco. 
No one could have seen the the 

55
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,160
apple green Taco Bell club. 
Like that's huge. 

56
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,560
I didn't spend so much time in 
America this year that we're 

57
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,640
like, yeah, talk about it. 
Yes, there's a there's a petrol 

58
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:27,760
station in Balanalak. 
Best one in the country. 

59
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,920
Best one in the country. 
I know that by the way, this is 

60
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:32,040
controversial and this is the 
shit I love getting into. 

61
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:32,960
It is your. 
Person. 

62
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,160
So is it? 
Is it like a? 

63
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,640
Is it like a big chain? 
It's it's it's no. 

64
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:37,280
Well, it's. 
It's. 

65
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,560
It's it's, yeah, Balanalaks in 
between West Mead. 

66
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,040
It's just outside in between 
Longford and Mulinger. 

67
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,520
And it's Mace. 
But it was a family run. 

68
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,320
It's grown over the years. 
I've seen a Crohn's turn out. 

69
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,240
It's turned into a monster. 
It's turned into some. 

70
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,960
People not like the group, you 
know, Some people like keep it 

71
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:54,920
the way. 
Absolutely. 

72
00:02:54,920 --> 00:02:56,480
Yeah, some people would have 
rather but. 

73
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,680
It's bordering on shopping 
centre like just. 

74
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,960
It's deadly, but I can't go by 
without stopping in. 

75
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:05,800
Even if you don't need only. 
That is it all around. 

76
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,320
Is it all around? 
No, no, straight roll the best 

77
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,920
location. 
Yeah, just before you get to 

78
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,800
the, the, you know, the 
motorway. 

79
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,400
So it's like I'm going to pull 
in here now before things get or

80
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:16,920
at the end of the motorway. 
You're coming home. 

81
00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:18,400
Yes. 
It's like I'm going to stop 

82
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:19,120
here. 
That's perfect. 

83
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,600
I don't think I'm never stopping
on the way. 

84
00:03:21,640 --> 00:03:24,120
Once I'm near home, I'm just 
getting home. 

85
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,760
Yeah, I'll go. 
I do my service station stop at 

86
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,360
the start. 
Yeah, at the start of the 

87
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:29,600
journey. 
But what's in? 

88
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,480
What's in this? 
Nothing special. 

89
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,400
It's like standard. 
Sorry, Super Max, Super Max. 

90
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,320
And you get the cookie. 
I always get the cookies and ice

91
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:36,920
cream. 
Yeah. 

92
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:37,880
Incredible. 
Yeah. 

93
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,040
It's everything like carve 
through dinner is huge, the 

94
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:43,400
shop. 
Well, you did. 

95
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:44,800
Recently. 
There was trad music. 

96
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,160
Going on, it's just like a full 
trad session today. 

97
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,520
FM or one of them were there 
broadcasting live from it? 

98
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:51,640
Yeah. 
Title man was. 

99
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,960
There title man was there. 
It's good crack. 

100
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,760
And there's, yeah, it's just, I 
couldn't say that's my 

101
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,720
favourite. 
Have you got like the we 

102
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,400
obviously have Mr Tito up here. 
Oh yes, you guys have Tito. 

103
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:09,040
Not something you don't know 
this, this is going to blow your

104
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:14,360
minds, right Kato in the north 
and the South are different 

105
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,160
businesses, completely different
companies. 

106
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:22,240
Even if you look at the the way 
both Tito men are dressed 

107
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:24,560
totally different. 
Our title man. 

108
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,320
I shed you not as we bowler hat.
But the same colours. 

109
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,280
Yeah, same, same red, same red 
soup. 

110
00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:33,080
But there's like a lot of 
contention about it because they

111
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,600
taste totally different too. 
Do they? 

112
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,640
Yeah, Yeah. 
Different flavours like. 

113
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,280
It's the same flavours. 
See, they're so close to being 

114
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:42,840
the same thing. 
But like I think like our like 

115
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:44,800
your tea. 
I'd say if there was like a 

116
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,200
bottle of the tea Roman, the 
southern Tito man's like like a 

117
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:49,600
bigger. 
Guy, he's a big man. 

118
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,400
Broad shoulders, but then the 
northern Tito man looks a bit 

119
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:57,200
sneakier, you know, like he's 
Morehead, Morehead and then we 

120
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:01,760
body, whereas the southern Tito 
man is in proportion but a big 

121
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,880
man. 
So I don't know, but it's a 

122
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,880
shame, like it is a shame that 
they they. 

123
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:07,040
Should be brought up this 
evening. 

124
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,400
People would people would start 
fight like people go go rowdy. 

125
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:13,960
I never knew that, that's 
mental. 

126
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:15,320
I wonder which one came first 
then? 

127
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,520
I think it was the Northern. 
Was it the Northern? 

128
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,640
You would say that, Yeah. 
No, it's the only thing I'm 

129
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:26,200
sectarian about. 
But yeah, people will kick off 

130
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:27,640
at the game. 
But no, they are different. 

131
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:28,720
They're totally different. 
They. 

132
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:30,960
Will not mention it's all 
different businesses. 

133
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,160
To be no mention that.

But if you want, if you want to 

147
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,040
be more with a chance of 
winning, you can go for like 

148
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:12,680
more realistic one, which is 
like what done.

00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,440
enjoy it. 
It got competitive, it got wild.

162
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,640
It's an emotional rollercoaster 
at the end. 

163
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,120
Drama, drama. 
It's not. 

164

bit of thigh, but you'll not be 
seeing any higher than the 

168
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,000
corset. 
Not the quote. 

169
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,520

around the leg?

I'm there I'm everywhere SSE 

176
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:33,600
Arena 24th of April brand new 
show let's go can I ask you 

177
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,680
something I thought was and now 
I want to chat about like how 

178
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,040
you just got together as a band 
and what you're doing that sort 

179
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,920
of thing but one thing I saw 
recently it was so cool from the

180
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,440
boys was the Ireland team after 
the hungry. 

181
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,960
Game at your show in London. 
That was really cool there. 

182
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,080
Did you know they were coming? 
We knew Cleveland was coming 

183
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:53,120
because like we always say, like
we played loads of football 

184
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,880
growing up, like right up until 
we met, we were mad about 

185
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,600
football, Gaelic and soccer. 
And even like when when people 

186
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,880
follow us on amble, sometimes a 
big name would come in and we 

187
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,960
nearly get more excited about 
the footballers than the 

188
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,120
musicians. 
Because it's just like, I'm a 

189
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,360
huge Liverpool fan as well. 
I have been my whole life. 

190
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,480
And seeing squeeving Keller come
in as a follower, I was like, 

191
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,160
fuck, that's class. 
And then he met just someone was

192
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,960
like, lads, any chance I could 
come to the London gig And we 

193
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,680
were saying. 
You can't say no. 100% creving. 

194
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,280
We'd love to meet you if you 
want to go up to the green room 

195
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:25,760
and stuff. 
And then he was like, I might 

196
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,160
bring a couple of friends. 
But he didn't say that it was 

197
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,240
Nathan Collins and Dara Shay. 
So yeah, that was. 

198
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,320
And it was just the week that 
was in it, like, should they bet

199
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,799
hungry the day before? 
So we thought, yeah, there's no 

200
00:08:35,799 --> 00:08:37,799
chance he's coming now. 
And then three of them landed. 

201
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:38,960
So that was really cool. 
Yeah. 

202
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,120
I think I'd be to see him like 
footballers like making me 

203
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:43,559
nervous in the crowd. 
Yeah. 

204
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,320
To think Chris Kent, who's a 
brilliant stand up from Cork, if

205
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,080
you know, Chris was doing a 
small show on Manchester, Roy 

206
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,760
King was there. 
That was the greatest moment. 

207
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,120
And then my mate sounds in 2 
Door Cinema Club and I once was 

208
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,520
like, have any footballers come 
to see you? 

209
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,160
He's like we're doing show in 
Brazil and R9 was there. 

210
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,120
Brazil Ronaldo popping about the
front row. 

211
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:04,680
That's different. 
That's different gravy. 

212
00:09:04,680 --> 00:09:06,360
Yeah, that's different gravy. 
Yeah. 

213
00:09:06,560 --> 00:09:10,000
Great band. 
But that was a O2 Door Cinema 

214
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,360
Club. 
Genuinely, for a second I 

215
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:12,440
thought you meant different 
gravy. 

216
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,280
And I was like, conceivably 
could be. 

217
00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:16,120
A bad. 
Different gravy. 

218
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,240
If you told me different gravy. 
We're open for you guys. 

219
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:23,600
And. 
Well, start honestly look into 

220
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,480
the potatoes. 
Or 9 at the gig imagine or 9 

221
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,440
singing Mariner Boy do. 
You know what I do? 

222
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,000
You know what I really like? 
Since we were chatting here, you

223
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,760
sing like you speak. 
Oh, because we were talking 

224
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,640
earlier. 
We did a podcast earlier with a 

225
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:37,960
couple of comics we were talking
about. 

226
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,080
Nowadays people have like a 
talking voice and then a 

227
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:42,960
completely different singing 
accent. 

228
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,680
Almost there. 
Have you always like, sang in 

229
00:09:45,680 --> 00:09:48,840
your own voice? 
Tried to, I don't know. 

230
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,920
Sometimes it's like, you know, I
don't know certain type of 

231
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,560
songs. 
And when you sing the cover of 

232
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,800
American songs and sometimes I 
find myself, I have to stop 

233
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,120
myself because I'm nearly 
singing this like an American 

234
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,920
person, you know? 
But in general, no. 

235
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:06,840
I love when I hear strong 
accents come through, like I 

236
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,760
grew up and I love a man called 
David Keenan from Dundalk. 

237
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,200
He's a brilliant musician, 
brilliant artist and he sings so

238
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,520
true in his own voice. 
And so many people like Luke 

239
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,040
Kelly back in the day, and you 
could hear the Dublin accent 

240
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,240
burst and drew all those 
ballads. 

241
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,360
Like we always slag my dad, my 
dad's a literal man. 

242
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,040
But whenever dad sings, he puts 
on a Dublin accent. 

243
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,240
Seems like he sounds like Ronnie
Drew because of just like, you 

244
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,680
know, it's just when you when 
you love those songs and you try

245
00:10:31,680 --> 00:10:34,280
and imitate them. 
But I thought, I think for 

246
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,680
Amberlin and for us, it was from
the start, we want to try and be

247
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,120
as original as possible. 
So I was just like, you know, 

248
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,200
make sure I'm sticking true to 
myself and singing in my own 

249
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:47,720
accent. 
It feels like I remember, I 

250
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,040
think the first time I heard 
your music was maybe about a 

251
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,480
year ago or so. 
And I think I could be wrong. 

252
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,640
And this has happened before 
where I like as soon as I hear a

253
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,680
song by a band I really like, 
I'll fire a message of like, 

254
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,800
guys, I love it. 
And I think I'm going to check, 

255
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,640
right? 
But I think I may well have 

256
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,200
messaged the amble page back in 
the day. 

257
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,360
And then like, that's just to 
say, like, she and Todd likes 

258
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,560
this. 
Let me see. 

259
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:20,480
I don't have to tell. 
Oh, 10th of December 2024. 

260
00:11:20,560 --> 00:11:21,840
Shit show. 
Look at that. 

261
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,000
This is a year. 
This a year, nearly a year 

262
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,240
exactly of my support. 
This is a year. 

263
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,080
Is it today the 10th of 
December? 

264
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:33,160
What fucking hell machine 
handles the Instagram? 

265
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,320
So that's his fault. 
Could I reply or? 

266
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,520
Now, but I said I put up a story
and I put your video in it and 

267
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,080
said I've just got in that at 
amble official. 

268
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,400
You should too. 
That's a year like. 

269
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,800
That's that video. 
Yeah. 

270
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,840
We're in the town of Amble. 
We're in a town called Amble 

271
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:53,200
Band. 
Amble. 

272
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:54,880
It was just hilarious. 
Hilarious. 

273
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,240
The entire couple of days were 
fun. 

274
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,640
The locals were like, your 
name's Amble. 

275
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:00,520
Right. 
You're really amble. 

276
00:12:01,560 --> 00:12:03,800
We found out like we were. 
Did you guys amble and that 

277
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,800
amble amble and? 
It was like we were out in a 

278
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,560
restaurant and people like there
was young girls working there 

279
00:12:09,560 --> 00:12:11,920
and they were showing us the 
like local Facebook page and 

280
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,880
people were like, they're going 
to the restaurant now like 

281
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,200
they're they're by the beach. 
And it was just. 

282
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,560
Kind of sounds like they were to
take you out like assassinate 

283
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,960
amble watch. 
It's lovely little play store. 

284
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:27,920
It was up above Newcastle right,
really small and like the locals

285
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:29,160
were all over. 
Like it was great cry, it was 

286
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,320
lovely. 
Yeah, and the man bars we met. 

287
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,080
Yeah, the old man bars. 
Yeah, he was. 

288
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,560
He was like playing air. 
We put up a video and he starts 

289
00:12:35,560 --> 00:12:37,840
playing air guitar with what's 
like a fish hawk thing. 

290
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,160
Yeah, walking stick. 
No, it wasn't a walking stick 

291
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:41,840
because people thought it was a 
walking. 

292
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,040
Oh, sorry. 
It's a thing for, I don't know, 

293
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:45,440
something to do with fishing, 
right? 

294
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:46,800
Yeah. 
There were just lovely people. 

295
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:47,840
Yeah. 
I am not. 

296
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:49,400
I have no idea. 
I'm not a fishing guy either. 

297
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,400
I went fishing once. 
My dad took me fishing once when

298
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:55,600
I was about 10 or 11, this boat 
with all these other people and 

299
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:59,320
then I was fishing them, caught 
a small fish and then was crying

300
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,880
a bit. 
I felt bad and then we just had 

301
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,040
to stay on. 
All our songs are about 

302
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,440
fishermen and fishing. 
None of us have ever, really. 

303
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,080
Yeah, a lot of people have the 
fishermen aesthetic, Yeah. 

304
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,440
Like look what like the we 
rolled up half and all that kind

305
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,040
of thing. 
But like if you put us out to 

306
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,960
sea, like we're not doing 
anything. 

307
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:23,120
But in that year, like, like 
obviously then people were 

308
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,560
knowing about your music and 
stuff, but like, it feels like 

309
00:13:25,560 --> 00:13:28,600
it's just gone up like a load of
a load of levels to the point 

310
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,760
where like user doing an arena 
tour. 

311
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,120
And what I know about the way 
the band sort of came together 

312
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:38,680
is that almost like once you 
started doing a couple, once you

313
00:13:38,680 --> 00:13:40,920
guys got together as a group. 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but 

314
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:45,000
like people started coming out 
to see you as in like buying 

315
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,320
tickets, even if it was small 
intimate venues, but it wasn't 

316
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,600
like used. 
We're doing like competitions 

317
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,240
and open mikes and that sort of 
thing. 

318
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,160
And that's that's rare like to 
just get together. 

319
00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:00,360
And always say at the beginning 
it just felt not normal because 

320
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,920
we all played music for years. 
Like we grew up playing music 

321
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:09,120
and was even meeting each other 
at like, I was 27 and meeting 

322
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,120
these two books and I was like, 
like Robbie says this, you're 

323
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,400
kind of at that age. 
You're like, do I need two more 

324
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,120
friends? 
Like, yeah, it's an awkward 

325
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:19,800
stage. 
Like these are two books and 

326
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,560
you're bringing them home when 
go and play there. 

327
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,600
He was like, yeah, 28 year old 
mother. 

328
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:29,160
Like probably like, but we met 
and just didn't feel normal even

329
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,480
then. 
And the music, I always used to 

330
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,000
say that the music came first 
because we were able to play 

331
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,680
music and talk about music and 
not even know each other. 

332
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,200
And that was always there. 
And then as you said, the gigs 

333
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,120
just seemed to be the the 
catalyst. 

334
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,360
Really anyone that had come to a
gig seemed to leave the gig 

335
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,160
better than they left. 
Then they came and it grew and 

336
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,120
it grew and it grew and, and 
it's just been constantly 

337
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:54,440
growing. 
This year, this year has been 

338
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,640
just, it's been a mad year, 
especially year, but it's been 

339
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,160
mad just watching that. 
It's the same people coming to 

340
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,320
the gigs that came to the 300 
capacity room there. 

341
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,760
Come to the Odyssey or the Three
Arena and they're having their 

342
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,800
cousins and that's how the whole
thing has happened. 

343
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,840
Yeah, it is great when 
somebody's like, I go every 

344
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,800
year, you know, It just means so
much. 

345
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,520
But yeah, they just have a 
moment then. 

346
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:19,080
Because you formed as a bond 
before kind of being friends, 

347
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,720
you said that came after. 
But was there a like, did we 

348
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,840
just become best friends moment?
Like, was there ever like a 

349
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,000
moment where you looked around 
and you were like, we're best 

350
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,800
friends now? 
Or was that a gradual thing? 

351
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:36,360
When you're when you're sharing 
three of us in a single bed in 

352
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,840
the in the UK and Limerick and 
Cork and places like that, you 

353
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,120
have to become friends very 
quickly. 

354
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,560
I think we got drunk together, 
in fairness, a lot at the start.

355
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:49,280
Not anymore, I think as well. 
We were telling you, I was 

356
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,080
telling these two men things I 
wouldn't tell friends I had all 

357
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:52,800
my life. 
Yeah. 

358
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,040
And that became fairly evident 
that, jeez, I'm very close to 

359
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,800
these lads. 
There's there's a just a trust 

360
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,400
very quickly, like really 
quickly just as. 

361
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,760
Supposedly, as you were going 
into such a mad thing together, 

362
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,040
there has to be like, you've got
to. 

363
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,840
Find that it's like the same 
music and we all write songs and

364
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,360
that you're already giving away 
so much of yourself in a song. 

365
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,280
And like, I would write a song 
and Robbie singing and I'm like,

366
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,720
you're in my head there already,
You know, It's like, yeah, yeah,

367
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,280
it's been a. 
Person then you have to get on 

368
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,400
in on a crowd or on a stage in 
front of a crowd of people and 

369
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,920
you know, perform for them. 
And we always performed from the

370
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,640
very start our own songs. 
I go she and said so you know, 

371
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,320
you're giving people an insight 
into the the way you think and 

372
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,880
everything. 
So it's it's so you feel so 

373
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,760
naked in so many ways. 
So I think the three of us just 

374
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:40,000
really respected each other for 
for being so open and honest 

375
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,240
from the gecko. 
I think some we don't say even 

376
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:44,520
to each other. 
Maybe enough for you. 

377
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,560
Every time we play a gig, you're
like, I don't want to let the 

378
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:51,080
two men down beside me. 
Yeah, if there's even a wave or 

379
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,600
an atmosphere where we're like 
we're going to pull this back, 

380
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,040
everyone here is going to have a
great nights. 

381
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,000
Yeah. 
And it's like that has been 

382
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,720
since the Stars 200 gigs. 
Now we've got feeling. 

383
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:02,240
You will have a great night. 
Yeah, you must have. 

384
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,200
You the green jacket, you're 
having a great time. 

385
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:09,280
It feels like a very good time 
to have, like, started a band 

386
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,800
because there is almost this 
like explosion of like, Irish 

387
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,640
culture. 
Yeah, everywhere. 

388
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,760
And it seems like I notice it 
and stand up up here with the 

389
00:17:17,839 --> 00:17:21,920
felt like a moment where people 
started the around Belfast and 

390
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,960
stuff, support their own comics 
and want their own homegrown 

391
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:26,440
seem to be brilliant. 
And it feels like that when 

392
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,680
music knows well, especially in 
the South with a lot of bands 

393
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,000
coming up where like instead of 
people waiting to go and see 

394
00:17:33,360 --> 00:17:35,640
bands that are coming from 
America and the UK and stuff, 

395
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,840
they want their own bands to be 
great and just even like, the 

396
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,440
world of Acton and everything, 
it feels like, yeah. 

397
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:45,200
I'm sorry the world understand 
of it's more ballsy than into me

398
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,680
in my book that's that's. 
Different I get your point 

399
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,960
because you're not wanting to 
let all use not one to let the 

400
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,440
other two time. 
I feel like I that would be a 

401
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,640
lot of pressure for me. 
Like the worst I can do is like 

402
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:56,800
let myself know. 
Of course. 

403
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,760
So like if it would be more 
nerve wracking for me to be in a

404
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:00,760
group thing on. 
Stage. 

405
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,320
Really. 
Oh, definitely. 

406
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:03,160
Understand that? 
Yeah. 

407
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,320
I wouldn't be able to do it solo
like I need. 

408
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,160
Other people would be on stage. 
I wouldn't get on the stage on 

409
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:13,160
my own. 
I never, I never like having 

410
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:14,560
myself. 
I know she met was I wanted to 

411
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,600
play in pubs but I wouldn't do 
it on my own. 

412
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,000
I never sang in a microphone 
before I met these two lads. 

413
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,080
I never plugged in a guitar 
anywhere. 

414
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,200
I never sang for anyone, so 
that's evident for me. 

415
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:25,520
I wasn't going to do it on my 
own. 

416
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,000
I needed these two lads. 
Yeah. 

417
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,520
So I yeah, to get up and say and
then try and be funny, Yeah. 

418
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,240
That's, that's a whole 
different, yeah. 

419
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,040
But I think, like, I've never 
really done play that's closed. 

420
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:37,840
I've got to be on stage. 
Well, the people is like being 

421
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:38,840
in a play or something. 
Yeah. 

422
00:18:39,360 --> 00:18:41,920
And I felt way more pressure 
doing that because I was like, 

423
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,360
if I fuck this up for, like, 
that wrecks it for all of you. 

424
00:18:45,360 --> 00:18:47,640
So yeah, I know. 
You mean what was the first gig?

425
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,800
Then He's dead together. 
The very first night we met Ross

426
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,480
was we, we myself in Ocean, got 
offered a little gig in the 

427
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,720
Glenn Centre Manor, Hamilton and
Leacham and we were the opening 

428
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:03,200
act and Ross came and we met him
and we played all original songs

429
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,080
and Ross had never heard us 
before or met us or heard the 

430
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,480
songs, but he played them like 
he wrote them. 

431
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,040
And I was just, I was blown away
by him. 

432
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,000
So no practise, no practise, no.
Right. 

433
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,240
No practise. 
We still don't really. 

434
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:18,800
We've other session positions 
with us now and they hate us 

435
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,680
because they're like, like it's 
a brand new song. 

436
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,200
We're like, oh, you'd be, yeah, 
just play it. 

437
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,800
But but the rosters came and and
then the band kind of started 

438
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,040
after that. 
So then our first official Amble

439
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,440
gig was in the Haggard in 
Longford. 

440
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,720
It was unplugged. 
It was where 20 people there in 

441
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,360
a little hall. 
What would you call it? 

442
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,080
It's like a little, it's a 
cottage and it has like a barn 

443
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,720
that was like a kind of little 
dance hall maybe back in the 

444
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,320
day. 
And it's, it holds like, you 

445
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,800
know, 30-40 people and it's in 
my parish firm farm. 

446
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,240
And not for them. 
None of them came. 

447
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,520
No, they did. 
The owner was lovely. 

448
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,720
And I, he's called. 
That was, that was a free gig, 

449
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:00,680
wouldn't it? 
Oh yeah. 

450
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,480
It was a link on your 
Eventbrite, like yeah. 

451
00:20:04,360 --> 00:20:07,200
Come down and rang Mickey the 
ball, he owns it and I says can 

452
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,840
we come down and use the Haggart
and play a few tunes and he says

453
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,640
absolutely Ross, no bother. 
But I mean, we're going to play 

454
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,520
a lot of them songs tonight in 
Belfast. 

455
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,400
That's yeah. 
We probably played 11 or 12 

456
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:22,160
songs that night and like Mary's
Pub, Judy's Heels, Mariner Boy, 

457
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:27,280
all those songs were all but 
then our first real gig. 

458
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,400
Then I suppose if that wasn't it
was in the workman's Cellar in 

459
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,440
Dublin and that was a ticketing 
event and we actually charge 

460
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,800
people money, which is. 
Mad for that to be like your 

461
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,120
second show because it would 
take people years to get to play

462
00:20:40,120 --> 00:20:40,720
there.

Japanese Netflix.

When we done that Workman 

488
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,280
cellar, then we went to Sugar 
Club, which is like. 300 and. 

489
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,280
I was like, this is our second 
show that we're actually putting

490
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,560
on and it sold out and it was 
like. 

491
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:12,440
Was there any names before Elmo 
there? 

492
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,200
Was a couple? 
No, there was never an official 

493
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:15,840
one. 
No. 

494
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,320
We spent like a month on 
WhatsApp just firing in names 

495
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,480
every now and again. 
There was tally Ho. 

496
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,080
Tally Ho was 1 Red Bull, Red 
Bull tie. 

497
00:22:25,120 --> 00:22:27,160
Someone said who was Red Bull 
tie? 

498
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:38,720
Different, I think. 
There was bygone was so. 

499
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,480
Someone could take. 
Bygone sounds like techno or 

500
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,920
something, I don't know. 
Yeah, but I'm. 

501
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:45,600
Big Techno had a couple years 
ago. 

502
00:22:46,120 --> 00:22:49,240
Bygone, yeah. 
Once Amble came in, we all just 

503
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,400
said that's the one. 
And then we kind of went 

504
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,080
straight online to make sure 
that like, just seemed like a 

505
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:55,520
great name. 
It seemed like someone else 

506
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,240
would have already used it. 
Yeah. 

507
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:58,600
But it wasn't. 
I still can't believe it. 

508
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,040
The the place I grew up in the 
like housing development is 

509
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,840
called Cedar Grove and I thought
that that's a great band name. 

510
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,080
Cedar Grove. 
Yeah, I tried to get a couple of

511
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:12,840
boys in school. 
Fuck I've started this whenever 

512
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,480
I was like 1516 X Factor was 
very big on TV. 

513
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,280
And I said, what was the guy? 
From the north called, you know 

514
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:20,360
he had the frame. 
Quick. 

515
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,560
Quick. 
Quick still going strong is he 

516
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,240
yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. 
Nice still still full time 

517
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,760
musician. 
He had a yeah, he had he was on 

518
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,080
that when he was really young 
and then he is single was called

519
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,360
28,000 friends. 
That was a big time in music. 

520
00:23:34,360 --> 00:23:38,320
Like big Yeah. 
As well as iconic, Yeah. 

521
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:39,640
It was hairy. 
It was like. 

522
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:40,560
What were you about to say 
though? 

523
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,520
So yeah, I said that like a few 
boys. 

524
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,760
That was me. 
It's with none of us have any 

525
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,920
sort of musical background. 
I was like, lads, I've got the 

526
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:53,440
name of a group like Cedar Grove
and the fact that we couldn't 

527
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:57,720
sing and haven't say did not put
me off me being like I'm running

528
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,520
my garage. 
And we tried the tried a few 

529
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,440
tunes back and forward and 
that's as far as it went. 

530
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,120
But I would be willing to like 
give somebody that name, that 

531
00:24:05,120 --> 00:24:06,800
band name. 
What were you in the band? 

532
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:11,880
From like I put it together, you
know what, I think I would have 

533
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,400
managed us and being the 
songwriter and all that kind of 

534
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,440
stuff. 
But like, but yeah, we didn't go

535
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,280
any further. 
Yeah, there was a time, though. 

536
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:20,720
X Factor was everything, wasn't 
it? 

537
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:25,040
Oh yeah. 
What did you do before All the 

538
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,080
shame? 
Did you like, you know, before 

539
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:27,840
comedy? 
Yeah. 

540
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:29,400
The call centre. 
And the call centre. 

541
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,840
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 
But I was just like, we I knew I

542
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:33,200
wanted to do this full time. 
Yeah. 

543
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,640
So I just, I was just like, I'll
be there for a few months and I 

544
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,880
was there for like 3 years. 
If you were a teenager, grabbing

545
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,920
your friends, being like, we're 
going to be a band, yeah, yeah, 

546
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:40,880
yeah. 
Seems like you always, always 

547
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,120
those people like, yeah, we were
all those people like, you know.

548
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,400
Yeah, because couple of years 
were teachers and who was 

549
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,040
ascent? 
I was nerding out for a few 

550
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:50,760
years. 
And I I listened to an 

551
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:56,040
interviews did and you said that
you instead of taking a career 

552
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,040
break, he's obviously like 
completely jacked in it, which I

553
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:00,720
did too. 
And I think that's like the best

554
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,280
way to do. 
Key yeah, it was very much on 

555
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,040
purpose. 
So it was like no safety net. 

556
00:25:04,120 --> 00:25:07,200
Yes, if you have something to 
fall back on, you will fall back

557
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,040
on it. 
Safety net Not a bad name for a 

558
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,840
band More more rock though. 
Cedar. 

559
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:14,880
Grove, yeah. 
Yeah, yeah. 

560
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,480
But I, I, yeah. 
But you sound like the good 

561
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,920
thing is used to actually have 
careers that you could fall back

562
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:22,400
on. 
Yeah. 

563
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,200
Whereas I have no other like. 
My granny reminds me all the 

564
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,080
time, like I go home just like 
and obviously you can always go 

565
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:29,080
back. 
Yeah, yeah. 

566
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,560
Back to Pfizer. 
Was there a moment where you 

567
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,720
realise like all this was the 
right decision? 

568
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,000
Like a particular show or the 
Olympia? 

569
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:42,200
For me, yeah, I think that's 
what our families and came up 

570
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,720
and they saw the Olympia and the
crowd and I think they for my 

571
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,800
family, I knew that was them 
going oh he he might have made 

572
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:49,960
the right decision. 
Yeah. 

573
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:55,120
I also think they had lost hope 
on me anyway, but I for them 

574
00:25:55,120 --> 00:25:58,560
that was it. 
I I to be honest, it was early 

575
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:02,440
enough for me when I was like 
this is I didn't want to sit 

576
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:06,200
down and 1015 years time and go.
What if we had a given it all 

577
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:10,880
like, and that was in my head 
and really around the Sugar Club

578
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,680
gig, that one that I just 
mentioned that was in around 

579
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,200
that time of the year was 
November 2 years ago. 

580
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,160
I was like, yeah, this is this 
is wordy. 

581
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,040
I've given it all. 
Ross was like, I'm going to quit

582
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:23,600
my job. 
And I was like, what do you 

583
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,200
talk? 
But I think it was like, there 

584
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,440
was so many moments before we 
quit the job where it was like, 

585
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,640
I think when he quit the jobs, 
it just felt like the most 

586
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,680
perfectly normal thing to do. 
Because, yes, we had spent six 

587
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:40,240
months like touring and like 
playing Two Wheelings and, you 

588
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,680
know, the Limelight up here and,
and Cypress Ave and Cork and 

589
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:45,240
Roching Dove and all these 
rooms. 

590
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,400
And then I was rushing back to 
teach the next day and it was 

591
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,560
like 600 people singing their 
songs in Cork and then me 

592
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:52,840
teaching in Dublin the next 
morning. 

593
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:54,960
And it just, it felt so 
unnatural. 

594
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,560
So yes, I think by the time we 
finally give up to jobs, I was 

595
00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,480
like, it just, it felt 
unbelievable. 

596
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,240
Like, you know. 
Robbie just reminded me that the

597
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,440
limelight massive moment for us.
Yeah, like not not just saying 

598
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,280
it like huge. 
I don't know what room it was 

599
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,920
first. 
It was, it was all it was 

600
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:10,840
actually the Empire really 
pretty. 

601
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,120
Yeah, that's all loud. 
It's all loud. 

602
00:27:14,120 --> 00:27:15,720
And then we got we got bumped up
to. 

603
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,880
The Belfast actually hard place 
to sell tickets, so it's like a 

604
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,440
big testament. 
That yeah, I guess I wasn't that

605
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,360
aware of that maybe. 
And the biggest headline show we

606
00:27:24,360 --> 00:27:26,480
had played was Whelan's 400 
people ish yeah. 

607
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:30,680
Limelight 900,000 went up. 
I was pretty nervous like yeah, 

608
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,280
it was unbelievable. 
Like it was, it was, it was a. 

609
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,120
Moment and we were all getting 
into the car spinning back for 

610
00:27:36,120 --> 00:27:39,040
yeah for school the next day as 
well like that drove his wife 

611
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,240
home like. 
Some people probably think 

612
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,640
you're lying as well and work, 
you know, you're like, we played

613
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,560
1000 people last year. 
I remember actually the day I 

614
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,920
gave up the job and it was all 
sorted. 

615
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,840
It was my last day and there was
everyone had bought cakes and 

616
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:53,520
stuff like that. 
We had announced the gig in 

617
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,680
Kilkenny. 
Do you remember the Amphitheatre

618
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:57,280
Bally Keith? 
And it's gorgeous. 

619
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,920
But I was like if this doesn't 
sell out like. 

620
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:04,280
You know, yeah. 
Today they're going to be like 

621
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,120
this bug. 
And we like, in fairness, we put

622
00:28:07,120 --> 00:28:09,040
it on sale. 
Let's hold out instantly. 

623
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,760
And then I was like, I just had 
such relief because I didn't 

624
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:13,920
want to go in staff room and 
everyone like banners. 

625
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:15,480
Good luck, Robbie. 
And you know. 

626
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:16,720
And then next Monday you're 
like. 

627
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,000
Going. 
Away party to Australia you see 

628
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:27,880
him in. 
A month, yeah, I I was also 

629
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,400
listening about your songwriting
process. 

630
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:34,120
Well, but about recording songs 
like All in the Room together 

631
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,480
and I can I like that a lot. 
Like I think that is great for 

632
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,640
like that comes across in the 
sound as well. 

633
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,640
You know, it's signed it it 
doesn't sound overproduced. 

634
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:49,760
And I guess like the more you 
start working with places where 

635
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,120
like better production 
facilities, not maybe you maybe 

636
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,200
get pushed in that direction, 
but doing it like in the room 

637
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,800
just feels way better. 
Yeah, and I don't know if people

638
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,440
are that familiar with that 
because I wasn't before any of 

639
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:04,160
this, but the norm is Robbie's 
kind of a way singing in his own

640
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,720
world because everyone is so 
focused on the vocal and we'd be

641
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,960
behind these walls just in case 
it was a mistake. 

642
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:14,080
So we're kind of like the the 
opposite of that where honestly 

643
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,240
we could record it here with 
this mic. 

644
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,000
I think as well the normal is to
like you don't have a click in 

645
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,240
your ear and make sure it's 
perfect and it's technically 

646
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,200
it's great. 
And we just have never done that

647
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,480
because we, I think there's, 
there's a feeling you get 

648
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,560
playing in a room that you can't
really get on a machine or 

649
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,680
quantify. 
And you capture that by 

650
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,720
genuinely looking at each other 
and playing around mics. 

651
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:40,480
I compare it to if we if this 
was a Zoom, yes, it'll be grand.

652
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,600
But it's lovely that you're 
here, upset me and we're just 

653
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,240
all trying to. 
Yes, it's energy like it's. 

654
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:45,120
Yeah. 
It's an energy. 

655
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,000
It's an energy you. 
Take money, you guess and. 

656
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,400
There was a band I love called 
Glass Vegas. 

657
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:55,160
They were Scottish band and 
they, the guy was, was like a 

658
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,320
professional football player 
played like SPL. 

659
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,960
And then this was like 15 years 
ago roughly. 

660
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,200
And they brought out all these 
demos and they were incredible. 

661
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,520
And I, I remember just listen to
them all time. 

662
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,800
And then they brought out the 
album and it was really 

663
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:11,520
produced. 
It was most common. 

664
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,200
For the demos, yeah. 
You know. 

665
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,040
We we essentially released the 
demos. 

666
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:16,840
That's yeah, that's what Amber 
was we. 

667
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,520
Put a lot a lot of the times 
we've gone in the studio and the

668
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:23,200
songs that you hear was also our
first take of the song because 

669
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,800
we just sit down, we pull out 
the guitars and we were like, 

670
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,560
sure, we'll try this one. 
And on the first take, you nail 

671
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,920
it, and then you spend the rest 
of the takes trying to recapture

672
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,680
what was in the first take 
because it was just raw. 

673
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,560
And yeah, like a lot of the 
songs you have on Spotify were 

674
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,080
actually the very first take. 
And we might have spent another 

675
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,800
hour in the studio afterwards. 
And then when we listen back, we

676
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,280
go, Nah, the first one was the 
best one. 

677
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,800
Does it get harder to that kind 
of control you have like being 

678
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,240
able to be like this is the way 
we do it. 

679
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,880
As you get more successful, does
it get harder to kind of I think

680
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,080
keep keep that or is it this is 
just the way you do it? 

681
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,080
At the end of the day, it's like
if we don't want to do 

682
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,080
something, we don't do it. 
Like we're, we've always been 

683
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,040
stubborn in that way. 
We we very much know what we we 

684
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,840
like as a trio and we don't do 
anything unless the three of us 

685
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,160
are, you know, if one man 
doesn't want to do it, we don't 

686
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:08,880
do it. 
Yeah. 

687
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,200
And I think in a studio it's no 
different. 

688
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,520
If, if, if we want to record 
that way, that's how we'll do 

689
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,080
it. 
And I think we've surrounded 

690
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:16,440
ourselves with like minded 
people. 

691
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:21,280
Yeah, that never, you know, I'm 
a 31 year old man. 

692
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:22,640
Like best of luck telling me 
what to do. 

693
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,840
Yeah, yeah. 
But, you know, we're going to 

694
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:30,480
tell you what to do. 
But, you know, we just, we make 

695
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,960
the decision. 
And we've always been like that.

696
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,320
And we'd always will be stubborn
like that because it's our 

697
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:36,320
music. 
But it's important. 

698
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:37,480
It's stubborn. 
Yes. 

699
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:38,800
Yeah. 
To do the music. 

700
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,680
Like the last thing I'd say on 
that is just that's what got us 

701
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,360
to this point. 
Yeah, yeah, is. 

702
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,880
Recording them like this don't 
don't change now like don't get 

703
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,960
a big fancy producer and. 
But even even on our latest EP, 

704
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,680
we went over to New York and 
recorded it there and we had 

705
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,440
more musicians. 
They're actually with us tonight

706
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:59,120
in the SSE and and for the three
arenas and we added more 

707
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,440
musicians to the group, but we 
still recorded in a room like 

708
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,880
this live in one take. 
And you know, that was the the 

709
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,600
magic of it Then it's like. 
Even even a drummer. 

710
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,160
Yeah. 
It's like the drummer just play 

711
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:12,160
quietly. 
It was. 

712
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:13,160
Like. 
Just don't. 

713
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,440
Don't make it a rocket. 
Yeah, would you ever get a palm 

714
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:17,840
pipe guy or. 
What? 

715
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:19,840
Like a palm pipe guy, I don't. 
Know what that is? 

716
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:21,800
You know, like the palm pipes, 
these books. 

717
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,320
Yeah. 
Oh, harmonica job like is it? 

718
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,920
No, you're the palm. 
No, it's like, it's almost like 

719
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,800
a like a South American kind of 
don't. 

720
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:31,240
Know what it suits? 
Yeah. 

721
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:32,680
Don't rule it. 
Out. 

722
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,160
Don't rule it out. 
You're looking for a job. 

723
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:36,520
I would love to be your palm 
pipe guy. 

724
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,200
Like, yeah, beautiful. 
Cedar Grove. 

725
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,640
Beautiful. 
Yeah, even Ellen Piper with us 

726
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,280
now, because we have a song 
called like the Piper and the 

727
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,080
Zealand Pipes that song. 
And yeah, I love the Ellen 

728
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,000
pipes, probably my favourite 
instrument. 

729
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:50,520
So that's that's a cool 
addition. 

730
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,320
It feels like going over New 
York did it. 

731
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,680
I was there two weeks ago doing 
a show. 

732
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,120
And again, the Irish culture 
thing is, well, they're like. 

733
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:00,120
Where to do the show? 
Dead rabbit. 

734
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:01,960
This was about to say it because
so. 

735
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,360
Bird had been there the night 
before they were in a show. 

736
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,080
Ed Sheeran was down the watch 
and was like gagging with. 

737
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:07,920
You there for that? 
No. 

738
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:09,160
No, we were there the next 
night. 

739
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:10,960
You know, people tell you about 
something that happened, like 

740
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,080
you just missed them. 
Like don't tell me that it just 

741
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:14,960
missed it. 
No great great pub, great people

742
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,080
running it and. 
So we played a gig there. 

743
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,040
Good food, good points. 
It's great. 

744
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,920
Like it's just great. 
And people love like, because I 

745
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,920
assume that it's just Irish 
people coming to these shows and

746
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:29,000
then you ask the audience and 
it's like 30%, but people just 

747
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:30,520
love like. 
That bar and. 

748
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,320
Shows like that. 
That was, yeah, that was. 

749
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,600
I keep saying it, but a real 
moment for me this year was 

750
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,720
playing in Denver, Co. 
I'm obsessed with this. 

751
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,560
Because she loves this. 
No, there's no Irish people in 

752
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:41,760
Denver. 
Or there might have been. 

753
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:46,920
We might 5, but we played A5 or 
600 people and it was people 

754
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:48,320
from Denver. 
Yeah, I was just like. 

755
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:49,760
I was like who here from 
Ireland? 

756
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,960
And it was like nobody and we 
all looked at each other. 

757
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:52,880
You're tough. 
So why? 

758
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,600
Because you love people from 
home, but you're like, well, 

759
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,120
this is a good sign. 
It's a great sign. 

760
00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:00,040
It's people just. 
It's just like who we playing 

761
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,080
here? 
It's yeah, obviously playing New

762
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,800
York, Boston, you know, you 
know, Yeah, yeah. 

763
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,920
But even still, every time we've
gone back to America, the rooms 

764
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:11,440
have gotten bigger and the 
percentages are the divide is 

765
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,480
bigger as well, which is great, 
you know? 

766
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:22,639
Three separate rooms on tour. 
We tend to like get twin rooms 

767
00:34:22,639 --> 00:34:26,440
to be honest, like you're on a 
tour bus and yeah, 12 lads and 

768
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,480
bunks and then you go out into a
lonely hotel room on your day. 

769
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:33,920
I think it's seedy or something.
There's something I'm about it. 

770
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:35,880
Like I like a 2 bedroom. 
What's up? 

771
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,679
A hotel room that has like your 
own bedroom. 

772
00:34:38,679 --> 00:34:40,280
The one. 
OK, so you and. 

773
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:41,679
Your mate are staying, that's 
nice. 

774
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:43,840
In the same hotel room. 
Is that a thing? 

775
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:45,400
But there's But he can't watch 
you sleep. 

776
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,040
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 
Half would love that, unless he.

777
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:49,760
Opens the door I. 
Love my own room now, yeah. 

778
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:51,960
She loves, I think you do too, 
but you just. 

779
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,440
See, I'm always like I. 
Love those in my room so I don't

780
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,840
feel bad. 
No, but like sometimes in like 

781
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:02,000
El Paso, TX, they're middle of 
nowhere from impossible would 

782
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:03,800
say that too. 
And it's like, you are a bit 

783
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:05,120
like, what am I doing it? 
Yeah. 

784
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,600
If you go, if you're in your 
room for 12 hours by yourself, 

785
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,120
it's like. 
Yeah, the reality catches up a 

786
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:11,400
little bit. 
Whereas if you just keep 

787
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:12,520
chatting, you're distracted 
from. 

788
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:14,720
I don't think I'd like the tour 
bus. 

789
00:35:14,720 --> 00:35:17,360
I like the idea of it but I 
don't know if it like the tour 

790
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:18,520
bus. 
Yeah, I think people think it's 

791
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:22,760
glamorous and stuff, yes. 
Off on a tour bus, it's. 

792
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,040
Intense, like we spend a day on 
the tour bus. 

793
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:26,360
On this tour. 
We were supposed to go to 

794
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,520
Nashville, Remember the bus 
broke down. 

795
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,440
What was it? 
Something blue generator, the 

796
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,040
generator blue on the side of 
the bus. 

797
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:37,840
And we spent literally 24 hours,
like 11 men on this bus and we 

798
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:39,440
couldn't get off it. 
And it was like the middle of 

799
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,160
the day. 
So everyone was just up and 

800
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,080
like, less space than this. 
Yeah. 

801
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,360
And men were losing their minds.
When they make a movie about you

802
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:50,360
guys, it'll be mostly centred on
that, you know, it'll dip in and

803
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,720
out of like, yeah. 
We never, we never fight or 

804
00:35:52,720 --> 00:35:54,960
anything touch wood. 
But like that day, it was 

805
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:56,920
getting really. 
The heat is wet. 

806
00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:59,560
So no air conditioning? 
It was roast and. 

807
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:00,960
I was just like, what point do I
crack? 

808
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,000
Can open here. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

809
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,160
Through the day, yes. 
What, like do you have a drink? 

810
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:07,400
It shows as well. 
Yeah. 

811
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,560
How does that has that changed 
since the first show has a 

812
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:11,720
volume change from the first 
show? 

813
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,640
We actually just played a show 
last night in Dublin called the 

814
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:16,640
Ruby Sessions. 
You know, the Ruby Sessions and 

815
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:21,040
Doyle's puppets class. 
But the only time we ever, we 

816
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,720
say, you know, maybe people who 
came to shows will have 

817
00:36:23,720 --> 00:36:26,000
something different to say. 
But we say the only bad show we 

818
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,080
ever played was a Ruby Sessions 
because we got really drunk 

819
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:32,040
before it, right? 
Because we all gave up our jobs 

820
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:35,040
like that week and we got signed
to a label and we thought we 

821
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:38,520
were a shit heart and we've got 
this through possessions and we 

822
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,360
just started celebrating. 
We started drinking really early

823
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:41,680
in the day and we were like, I 
should be grand. 

824
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,800
It's only a couple of songs. 
And then we got on stage and 

825
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:48,240
I've never seen Ross not able to
play the Bazooki and he didn't 

826
00:36:48,240 --> 00:36:49,680
have a fucking clue how to play 
the Bazooki. 

827
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,160
But she was on a piano. 
He didn't know that he was on a 

828
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,440
piano. 
I was turning around giving her 

829
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,560
and the crowd there, it was just
it was a shit show. 

830
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:01,200
So to this day, like sometimes 
we'll be having points for a gig

831
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,920
and we look at each other and go
like let's not do a rubies 

832
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,560
again. 
Like so we always have like 3 or

833
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:10,120
4 points before a gig maybe and 
then a pint on stage or two and 

834
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:14,160
then see what happens, see what 
happens after. 

835
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:18,760
What would be like the best 
event to get asked to play out? 

836
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:24,200
I'm talking about like a an open
ceremony and anything, an award 

837
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,440
show. 
What's the dream call up? 

838
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:31,720
We always, people always ask us 
what would be the dream venue 

839
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:35,720
and we always said like Red 
Rocks in America or like, yeah, 

840
00:37:35,720 --> 00:37:38,440
Red Rocks is like we were there 
this year for Kaleo. 

841
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:42,040
It was amazing. 
Or like a Crow park or 

842
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:43,680
something. 
Obviously in Ireland, but. 

843
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,200
If you guys did a red rocks 
could I open if I threw myself 

844
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:51,080
there? 
On the on the, yeah, you're. 20 

845
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:54,040
minutes of stand up, I just 
bring them off. 20 minutes of 

846
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:55,960
palm. 
In terms of ceremony, I don't 

847
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:57,840
know. 
I'm trying to think yeah, like. 

848
00:37:57,920 --> 00:37:59,200
So can I give you a few 
examples? 

849
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,320
Yeah, final, something like 
that. 

850
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:10,440
It could be. 
It could be trying not to make a

851
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:15,000
football. 
It could be the American Music 

852
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,200
Awards. 
Yeah, like if you're nominated 

853
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,160
for Grammys or something, then 
you got to perform. 

854
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:23,440
That would be pretty cool. 
Yeah, the Super Awards, probably

855
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,920
not high up, but it's like the 
UK so awards or. 

856
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:31,280
I think the Super Bowl has to be
up to. 

857
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,600
Super Bowl halftime. 
Show what happened. 

858
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:34,840
Show super. 
Bowl. 

859
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,160
Should it be great? 
Crack Olympics, The Aussie 

860
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,160
Rules? 
Yeah, the big Aussie Rules 

861
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:40,800
final. 
As there's Irish lads in the 

862
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:41,880
Aussie rules and stuff that 
Olympics. 

863
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,720
Should be cool as well. 
I actually don't watch the Super

864
00:38:44,720 --> 00:38:46,800
Bowl, but I always watch the 
halftime show. 

865
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,000
Yeah, yeah, music. 
So it's kind of like the music 

866
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,720
thing is, it is on a blasher. 
I always watch it and I don't. 

867
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:56,520
Know Kendrick Lamar, Kendrick. 
Lamar like, yeah, maybe two 

868
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:57,600
years. 
Ago I don't know of. 

869
00:38:57,920 --> 00:38:59,280
Course, I think that's also a 
music. 

870
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,240
Never been asked that before. 
That is also isn't a musical 

871
00:39:02,240 --> 00:39:03,800
event. 
That must have been Yeah, he did

872
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,280
not like a tough watch for 
Drake, who just wants to like. 

873
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,760
Watch a bit of American 
football, No Yeah, 15. 

874
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:13,400
Minutes from regionally. 
Mary's Super. 

875
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,760
Bowl. 
Why not just loads of 

876
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:21,120
pyrotechnics fireworks just like
strumming away? 

877
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,400
Yeah, I picked up. 
But like, oh. 

878
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:27,320
If Ireland got to the World Cup 
you know that would be a cool 1.

879
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:29,880
Like, you know, like America 
team talk before the game. 

880
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:31,280
You're going to try to play 
we're. 

881
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:32,960
Actually going to be an American
we're. 

882
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,120
Going to be an American. 
I like the way that tour is 

883
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:36,240
better rage. 
Yeah. 

884
00:39:36,240 --> 00:39:38,160
Is it Tennessee or something? 
The world. 

885
00:39:38,240 --> 00:39:39,320
Cup Is it everywhere? 
It's everywhere. 

886
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,880
Everywhere. 
Canada as well, I think we're. 

887
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:44,560
Open for Edge here in a couple 
of days in America and it's. 

888
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:46,680
That's great. 
That's the World Cup week. 

889
00:39:46,720 --> 00:39:50,120
Yeah, we got a. 
Game great, great scheduling, 

890
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:51,720
yeah. 
He could sort the boys out, like

891
00:39:51,720 --> 00:39:55,640
surely, maybe. 
I message him on Instagram as 

892
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:58,040
you we've established he was he 
was playing music artist. 

893
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,000
No, he did not. 
I was asking if you want to play

894
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,600
paddle fair. 
They said he was at dead Rabbit 

895
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:04,480
the night before and we were 
playing paddle the next day. 

896
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:05,400
So it just was like it fair 
enough. 

897
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:07,120
Great game. 
I've never met him in my life. 

898
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:08,560
I was like. 
Only play for the first time 

899
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:09,280
last year. 
A great game. 

900
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:10,080
I'm too. 
Yeah, I. 

901
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:12,040
Can't play at my wrist. 
Thought it was a bit posh like 

902
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:15,320
but then played a great game. 
On the America tour if I get. 

903
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:16,480
You're not playing. 
I can't play. 

904
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,040
It's. 
Actually a great game, yeah. 

905
00:40:18,240 --> 00:40:19,720
I have a bad wrist. 
You got a bad wrist. 

906
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:23,120
I the last gala came, I played 
or one of the last game games I 

907
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:27,960
played, I tore a ligament in the
wrist and then Amble started and

908
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:30,200
we had so many gigs. 
I couldn't go for surgery 

909
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:31,560
because I needed to be playing 
guitar. 

910
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:33,800
And by the time I went for the 
surgery then she said it was 

911
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:35,600
like totally dislocated and 
stuff. 

912
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,200
So look at this, you're the 
same. 

913
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:42,320
Get ready for this. 
Look at the difference in the 

914
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,960
yeah, which is not the rest you 
want to injure. 

915
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:48,680
Yeah. 
For many reasons. 

916
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,920
But yeah, mine's bad, like, but 
I also left it too long. 

917
00:40:55,360 --> 00:41:00,200
So when I broke it or desiccated
this, I am I they just sent me 

918
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,880
home about two years later. 
I was like, we should fix this. 

919
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,480
And they were like, we had 
requested that you go to this 

920
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,520
clinic to see about an 
operation. 

921
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:08,720
Yeah. 
As I did not. 

922
00:41:08,720 --> 00:41:10,120
Know that, Yeah. 
So my my. 

923
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,960
I can play golf again, which is 
cool because you know when we're

924
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,280
not able to play any sports now,
it would be a damn shame if you 

925
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:16,960
couldn't play. 
But if I had asked you to play 

926
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:21,800
paddle like play with left hand.
I can watch the boys are 

927
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:28,480
playing. 
Yeah, he didn't reply to me 

928
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:30,480
like, which is weird because 
I've never met him and. 

929
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,200
Just the first. 
He's in Dublin. 

930
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,240
Last night. 
Yeah, so. 

931
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:39,600
We could play when I we. 
Could play tomorrow. 

932
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:41,600
When I started becoming friends.
I'll tell you how competitive 

933
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,360
Ocean is. 
When I started becoming friends 

934
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:47,200
with Ocean, I was living with my
best friends at the time still 

935
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:51,360
my best friends in in Dublin and
we used to play Astro five side 

936
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:53,280
every week. 
So here comes Oshino. 

937
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:56,480
She used to log his piano into 
my into my house every week and 

938
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:59,280
we play and I was a John a 
common play soccer Edison. 

939
00:41:59,720 --> 00:42:02,680
He was like 100% or football. 
I said soccer in London. 

940
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:04,760
Everyone was given out to me. 
Football. 

941
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:07,040
You've got options here in 
soccer. 

942
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:12,400
Ocean came, and I mean my friend
James, like he had the ball over

943
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:14,560
the line. 
It was a clear goal, open goal, 

944
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:17,920
and Ocean out of nowhere just 
fucking breaks his ankle. 

945
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:24,520
Ankle in half, bones sticking 
out, didn't touch him. 

946
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:30,880
Now what I like is this odds to 
my like bands and comics 5 aside

947
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:32,680
tournament dream. 
Or lovers. 

948
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:36,960
This is my dream, so if you guys
are a 5 Cent team, you can pick 

949
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:39,440
two other players but they have 
to be associated with the band. 

950
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:43,480
OK, no. 
Keller and Darrell O'Shea like. 

951
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:46,000
Andy Reid, who played centre, 
made for Ireland's genuinely. 

952
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:48,640
He's a musician. 
No, he's a big no. 

953
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:50,280
Nobody is. 
He's a musician, he's a big 

954
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:52,840
guitar. 
You need to apologise down to 

955
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,280
that Andy Reid. 
Andy has sent me WhatsApp 

956
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:57,320
doesn't play in ballots. 
You're very good, Andy. 

957
00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:59,720
He's a huge guitar man. 
He's big into his guitar as 

958
00:42:59,720 --> 00:43:01,200
well, so on. 
I'd pick Andy Reid. 

959
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:02,120
But you guys come. 
Out. 

960
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,400
But no, there's no regular like.
No, you just said we could. 

961
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:08,680
Yeah, but not on the race. 
John shares the gig in 

962
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:11,760
Manchester. 
Professional player. 

963
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:13,360
So who you let us pick 
musicians? 

964
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,440
Yeah, they have to have like, 
played with the band, like the 

965
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:18,960
session musicians. 
Oh yeah, we've we've coppolate 

966
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:20,800
copper tidy footballers on Stage

967
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:23,080
Would surely be like. 
Yeah, yeah. 

968
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:26,440
Maybe ABN? 
Is there any other but like what

969
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:29,240
would be like the Derby, like 
you guys versus Kingfisher? 

970
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:32,560
Outside. 
Come on, five decided be No 

971
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:40,120

00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:42,680

Nicely young me. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

974
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:49,360
Danny O'Reilly from the Coronas.
He's got football, apparently. 

975
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:52,280
Yeah, right there. 
And don't Kennedy, don't 

976
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:53,280
McKenna. 
He's he's. 

977
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:55,680
What? 
You call soccer. 

978
00:43:56,640 --> 00:44:01,320
Soccer. 
Yeah, he's. 

979
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:02,000
A Right. 
Yeah. 

980
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:03,120
He was like, man of math, 
wouldn't he? 

981
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:04,520
Yeah, yeah, I'd love to do one 
of them. 

982
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:07,160
That'd be class. 
I would love his clothes. 

983
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:11,440
Clothes was a lot of gear like. 
Yeah, he's, I think he's his own

984
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:12,800
stuff. 
As well, he's a stylus man. 

985
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:14,760
He's a stylish. 
Yeah, we're open frame and may 

986
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:17,480
as well so another the plug. 
We get you a jumper. 

987
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:21,800
Paddle German Kennedy. 
Yeah, but that's actually. 

988
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:25,680
Going to be deadly European Tour
with German Kennedy. 

989
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:27,160
Yeah. 
Where are the edge here to 

990
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:29,000
America? 
Yeah, they're like, that'll be 

991
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:30,080
huge. 
There's one Nashville, 

992
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:33,560
Nashville, Arizona. 
Yeah, there's their stadiums 

993
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,400
like 50,000 Cedar Stadium, so. 
He's a total giant. 

994
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:38,400
We've met him a few times. 
He is a sound man. 

995
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:42,400
The scene here, the music seems 
so good. 

996
00:44:42,720 --> 00:44:44,040
Yeah. 
It's so good. 

997
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:48,880
Like it's the fact that, you 
know, the kind of style that you

998
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:53,000
have appeals internationally 
while still being like very 

999
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,200
Irish. 
You know, you're doing shows all

1000
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:57,080
over the world. 
And it's not just people from 

1001
00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,520
home like you say, it's people 
from from all over. 

1002
00:44:59,920 --> 00:45:03,760
And that probably is a good 
thing that you in the early days

1003
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,880
you, you know, you didn't change
your voice or try to make your 

1004
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:11,400
style more in general, No 
whatever. 

1005
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:15,440
We as we said, we're stubborn 
men and we always kind of write 

1006
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:16,760
songs for the tree of us. 
The. 

1007
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:19,440
Music that we like. 
Yeah, and we've always done that

1008
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:22,400
from the dots. 
I I still don't ever think of 

1009
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:23,760
the audience. 
I just think of us. 

1010
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:25,240
Do we like it? 
Yeah. 

1011
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:28,280
You've got to just trust that. 
And our sounds as well, like 

1012
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:31,680
we're telling real stories. 
And that's why we said earlier, 

1013
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:32,920
you're playing putting your 
heart on your sleeve. 

1014
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:36,560
And it's people. 
People can, I hope, hear that. 

1015
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:40,160
I just think that the day you're
like, will people like this, 

1016
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:42,880
it's gone. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're doing. 

1017
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:44,040
It for the wrong reasons, have 
you? 

1018
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:50,280
Got any like weird gifts? 
You still monitor the inside. 

1019
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:52,800
A gift in Dingle the Spoons. 
That was cool. 

1020
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:55,600
Yeah, a man made me like the 
spoons that you can play. 

1021
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:56,080
Yeah. 
Yeah. 

1022
00:45:56,240 --> 00:45:59,040
And that was a funny one. 
Also in San Francisco recently, 

1023
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:03,960
someone gifted us like, a basket
like of like, lots of stuff. 

1024
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:05,040
That was great. 
That was cool. 

1025
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:08,200
Yeah. 
Like a proper hamper, gifts are 

1026
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:09,880
great. 
Gifts are great. 

1027
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:12,400
Gifts are great. 
Like the US shows are pretty 

1028
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:15,680
good at like the venue will give
you some stuff. 

1029
00:46:15,720 --> 00:46:18,200
Yeah. 
All the companies they play, I'd

1030
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:20,840
be like, could I get it? 
Could I buy like a hoodie or AT 

1031
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:21,840
shirt? 
Then they just give you 

1032
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:23,360
everything. 
It's different over there. 

1033
00:46:23,720 --> 00:46:25,200
Yeah, free gears. 
Good like. 

1034
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:28,720
Yeah, same in Europe as well. 
I think the venues are really 

1035
00:46:28,720 --> 00:46:31,000
like. 
I had a thing on my writer. 

1036
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,400
For the European shows where it 
was like could I have the local 

1037
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:36,040
football top, that's where we. 
Were playing that's cool and. 

1038
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:39,920
Then when I did Paris in the 
Apollo Theatre, the guy run on 

1039
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:41,800
it. 
There was no football top and I 

1040
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:47,600
was like, the guy goes. 
I, I said, are we supposed to 

1041
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:50,480
have like a football top? 
Whatever a guy goes with the 

1042
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:52,960
amount of tickets you sold, if 
we bought a football top, you 

1043
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:56,680
would have lost. 
What's this start? 

1044
00:46:56,680 --> 00:47:01,720
Is this a this is Mukara in the 
dock, which is a really cool 

1045
00:47:01,720 --> 00:47:02,160
bar. 
Yeah. 

1046
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:03,920
So they they make their own 
tops. 

1047
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:05,920
That's very cool. 
Most larger. 

1048
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:09,320
But it was great. 
Every every bar does tops now, 

1049
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:10,480
yeah. 
I know of them. 

1050
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:13,840
They had like a pre Mary 
Wallopers, I think, like party 

1051
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:15,600
and then yes and then they 
played over here or either in 

1052
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:17,640
Dublin or yeah, yeah, seems like
a great part. 

1053
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:21,800
Yeah, I, I, I, I've done so many
in the last like year place in 

1054
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:23,040
Ireland. 
I've never played because I 

1055
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:26,040
would, not just on like Dublin, 
yeah, or Galway or Cork. 

1056
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:30,160
But now I do like theatres, 
venues everywhere and I love it.

1057
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,120
Have you done the Baris and 
Clonic Hilty? 

1058
00:47:32,240 --> 00:47:34,760
No, I've been in the bar. 
It's gorgeous. 

1059
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:38,240
I love it's it's one of the best
connellies of left. 

1060
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:41,080
Yeah, they're very. 
Yeah, just like remember after 

1061
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:42,360
EP. 
Yeah. 

1062
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:46,040
Like a fuse. 
Your van, Who runs it? 

1063
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:47,680
Sam. 
He's a lovely man and we've met 

1064
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:51,200
him many times since. 
But like you messing us and we 

1065
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:54,640
didn't see it. 
I swear we messaged Connolly's 

1066
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:57,760
to play there when we were just 
starting out and obviously they 

1067
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:00,760
never saw it. 
And then after EP we'd just come

1068
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:03,080
off stage and it was 60,000 
people. 

1069
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:05,560
And this man who I hadn't met 
before, Sam, he's a gent. 

1070
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:08,600
He came up to me and was like, 
man, that was incredible. 

1071
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:11,000
And he was like, you know, I run
Connolly's of LEP and I was 

1072
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:11,760
like. 
You. 

1073
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:17,680
Never. 
And he was like, oh, fine, so. 

1074
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:20,280
Holder grudge forever. 
Yes. 

1075
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,840
But I don't like when I let a 
music artist know, like, guys, I

1076
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:26,200
like what you're doing. 
I don't even expect a reply. 

1077
00:48:26,240 --> 00:48:28,880
No, I'm just saying, like the

different show tonight? 
Cool. 

1084
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:43,280
This is controversial. 
Not at all.

00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:45,400
Not at all.

Ohhh. 
Yeah. 

1087

That's what you're up against 
lads I love. 

1088
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:52,160
Yeah. 
He's the, he's the innkeeper. 

1089
00:48:52,240 --> 00:48:52,720
It's. 
Bulge. 

1090
00:48:52,720 --> 00:48:57,560
It's absolute bulge. 
He's gonna show that tonight in 

1091
00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:01,120
the SSC. 
That play happens every year. 

1092
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:05,360
It's a candidly Drake. 
Has been insane. 

1093
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:08,440
He's the innkeeper. 
Yeah, they they showed him the 

1094
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:10,240
school outfit and he was like. 
Nah Nah Nah. 

1095
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:12,680
Get on Amazon hook. 
Me up with something different. 

1096
00:49:12,720 --> 00:49:14,680
No way. 
Agency. 

1097
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:17,120
Five class. 
Love that, love that. 

1098
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:20,760
Love, but he's Yeah, I've I've, 
I'm more nervous for this than 

1099
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:22,720
any show I've ever done. 
I got that. 

1100
00:49:22,720 --> 00:49:25,520
That was like my dad came to the
three arena and he was sitting 

1101
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:28,400
watching it and like, I don't 
know, it's like, it's like he 

1102
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:29,760
couldn't even enjoy it until it 
was over. 

1103
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:32,000
Like exactly. 
He was like this, like my, my 

1104
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:34,440
sisters were laughing at him 
and, and my brother and they 

1105
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:36,560
were saying like at the end he 
was like, now we can relax, you 

1106
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:37,720
know? 
Yeah, my dad watches the 

1107
00:49:37,720 --> 00:49:39,880
audience at my show. 
He's like, I can't watch you. 

1108
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:42,040
I'm just watching the. 
Crowd with a clicker, clicker 

1109
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:43,440
links. 
Clicker on the door. 

1110
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:44,480
See Herman? 
He's coming in. 

1111
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:47,760
Now, in case the venue won't be 
off, yeah. 

1112
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:49,760
It's short there. 
No, Ross. 

1113
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:52,480
I think it's, it's wild for the 
families, as you say, your 

1114
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:54,920
father. 
I I think my folks can barely, 

1115
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:56,280
they can barely look. 
Yeah. 

1116
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:57,720
It's I think it's like, what if 
he falls? 

1117
00:49:57,760 --> 00:49:59,760
Yeah, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 
yeah, yeah. 

1118
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:02,240
What if he falls off people? 
Yeah. 

1119
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:05,640
I had that at EP in various I. 
Had a moment at EP Jesus, like 

1120
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:08,960
what if I just fall over? 
Yeah, we, we stayed out way too 

1121
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:13,000
late the night before and was 
really, really shocked in the 

1122
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:14,480
morning of EP. 
And then it started hitting me 

1123
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:17,520
that I was going to play in 
front of 5560 thousand people. 

1124
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:20,560
And I was like, imagine if I 
just fainted, you know? 

1125
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:23,160
Sometimes I see you right during
the week. 

1126
00:50:23,240 --> 00:50:25,680
I caught Laura Woods. 
Laura Woods? 

1127
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:28,040
Yeah, Like she just fainted. 
Yeah, I was on TV. 

1128
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:29,960
Yeah, I think. 
During the Emirates or 

1129
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:31,040
something. 
Yeah, I know it was. 

1130
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:32,040
And I looked at that. 
I was like. 

1131
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:35,360
So this is just a fear that 
probably, there probably is a 

1132
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:38,080
name for the the fear is that 
one day you're just going to 

1133
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:39,280
face. 
It's only that was completely 

1134
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:40,600
self. 
It's only one retired. 

1135
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:42,520
On that day. 
Sometimes I have a feeling the 

1136
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:45,480
day of shows say I'm going to 
the shop beforehand. 

1137
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:49,920
To buy snacks, something like. 
I could just like walk away from

1138
00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:53,840
here, like as in like the venues
that way. 

1139
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:55,560
I could just walk that way. 
Yeah. 

1140
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:58,080
And I'm excited for the show, 
but I'm like, there's is it mad?

1141
00:50:58,080 --> 00:50:59,480
There's nothing stopping me. 
Yeah. 

1142
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:01,560
Everyone could be there at the 
venue and I could, I could be 

1143
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:03,200
in. 
Yeah. 

1144
00:51:03,720 --> 00:51:06,120
Have you ever had a moment where
you had too many pints before a 

1145
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:07,480
show, or do you have a point? 
Once. 

1146
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:09,720
Once. 
First time I headlined the gig, 

1147
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:15,160
I was like a big time, though. 
This was like 18 years ago. 

1148
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:18,000
I went and bought a suit from 
Primark because it was like I 

1149
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:21,280
wear suits like and I got really
drunk. 

1150
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:26,320
It was in Logan and I got really
drunk and I was to do like 30 

1151
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:29,400
minutes, but it did like 15. 
It was like 15 Kelvin. 

1152
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:32,320
It is better than 30. 
I walked on stage and I was 

1153
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:33,840
like, how good was that? 
Normally it's for like. 

1154
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:36,280
So shit. 
I thought I'd killed it. 

1155
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:37,320
They were like. 
That's good mates. 

1156
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:39,640
It was awful. 
But thankfully it was before 

1157
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:41,480
mobile phone recording on. 
Stage. 

1158
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:43,760
But yeah, that's how I've been 
drunk on stage. 

1159
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:45,120
I don't trust it, no. 
Yeah. 

1160
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:48,440
So you just sober before the 
Yeah, I don't really probably 

1161
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:51,040
probably get to that stage. 
See for especially like the 

1162
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:53,800
arena show, I would always be 
like, I'm going to go on the 

1163
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:56,000
pints after, but I'm just so 
tired after. 

1164
00:51:57,080 --> 00:51:59,440
We've had that, just won't go to
bed like the Flash. 

1165
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:01,320
I was. 
I was asleep before the arena 

1166
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:02,840
show. 
An hour before the show, I was 

1167
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:05,560
asleep in the green room. 
See, I've started getting into 

1168
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:07,240
this idea. 
But that'll work. 

1169
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:09,960
What if nobody wakes me up? 
Someone will wake me. 

1170
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:11,760
Your bed head. 
Your bed head. 

1171
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:14,960
On the band. 
Yeah, yeah, Bad heads. 

1172
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:17,760
My biggest fear? 
Yeah, I think it's it's each 

1173
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:20,880
their own too. 
I don't think there's any free 

1174
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:23,160
or there's no formula. 
Like, yeah, obviously 5 minutes 

1175
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:24,960
for sure. 
I know he's going to be top of 

1176
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:28,040
the show. 
It's like somebody amazing. 

1177
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:31,640
That's the best friends more 
right there. 

1178
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:34,040
It's just that that was the 
moment you got totally left out.

1179
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:39,960
I mean it was next snap lads. 
Thank you so much for a call. 

1180
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:43,560
Now David have to go, but 
tonight will be great. 

1181
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:45,760
So the nativity, enjoy the 
nativity. 

1182
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:49,440
It's all about the. 
Innkeeper tonight if he's not 

1183
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:52,600
the best innkeeper of all. 
Time and then we'll tell about 

1184
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:56,040
it could have been enough. 
Thank you. 

1185
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:57,800
Thanks. 
Thanks man class, that was 

1186
00:52:57,800 --> 00:52:58,040
lovely.
