Welcome to this episode of the Tea With Me podcast.
It's Wednesday and hey, it's the last episode for a while,
hopefully, that we're going to be recording from home.
This isn't your home, it's my home.
But we signed off on the studio yesterday.
We've been working hard. Dan and Mike have been working
hard and my mate Tony, who's doing some design work for us,
some artwork, very sexy. Artwork.
Very sexy guy and and I've been watching them.
You know, I've just been watching guys work, which is
when I'm at my most comfortablest.
So it's a good time. We're in Hollywood, we've got
the studio, we're ready to roll next week with an episode and my
first guest in the new studio next week, it's going to be Dave
Elliot. So there you go.
And everyone who thinks that me and Dave fella, because we
started because we stopped doing Boy town.
You're right. And it's going to be an awkward
episode, but we're just going to get it all out there.
See, I'm really excited. You know, we've, you know,
brought away, brought a few E mugs down to the office, few E
chargers. You know, it's a good time.
I mean, Dana might have genuine equipment there.
And I just was like, hey guys, I've got bought, genuinely just
bought a bunch of bananas, you know, so that lets you know,
like the level of organisation that I have.
But it's all good. We're in the new studio just
before we get into this episode. It's a solo episode by the way,
today for anybody asking what the crack is with Patreon.
So you know by now, patreon.com/tea with Me podcast,
you get bonus content, you sign up for £3 a month or anything
more than that, then you want to pay and you've been getting
Breakfast Brewery episodes recently where I just recorded
from home, me and Dan on the headphones.
But we're stepping up the production with the new studio,
we're getting a proper backdrop done, all this kind of stuff,
all the bells and whistles. So what's going to happen going
forward on Patreon is on Monday, you're going to get a bonus
episode of the podcast just like this one, either me flying solo
or we'll have a guest on on Wednesday.
You'll get this is always the day for the podcast.
And then on Friday, just for Patreon, we're going to continue
to do the live streamed episodes that we have been doing on Zoom,
but we'll maybe do it on YouTube or direct on Patreon.
I don't know. We're looking into that.
But we're going to keep Friday as the stream day and we'll
either do like a late morning breakfast brew type episode or
maybe a bit later in the day. You can tell me people on
Patreon what what works best, because that's the way we do it.
We let the Patreon is a democracy, but also at the same
time, I'm a dictator. You know what I mean?
It's a it's a democracy, but I'm a dictator.
So if I don't like the decision, I will go against it.
It's great, the studio is great and I am so happy to be in it,
you know, in Hollywood, which is where I want to stay with the
podcast. When I did a wee coffee run
today because I'm a bit like, I'm a bit like a mother and her
son has just moved out of the house for the first time and I'm
calling down to see him and his friends moving stuff into the
house. I'm like, does anybody want to
wee Bunny go and get you the bungees want coffee.
Why are you moving out? Do not love me, you know, So I
have been assuming that role and I was just walking through
Hollywood going to get the boys a coffee and myself, obviously.
And I thought like the sun was shining and I was like, this is
so good. This is the place where we want
to be. This is amazing.
And then genuinely every single coffee shop I went to was like
packed way out the door. And I was like, this is a
terrible decision. We need to get out of Hollywood.
It's too popular. You know, we need to go
somewhere where the coffee shops aren't as packed like Scion
Mills. I don't even know if that's a
real place. Like is that a place where shops
and or is it just some houses? Don't know.
It's one of those questions I'll probably never know the answer
to apart from the comments section.
Someone will tell me. Also, I've got to plug our
sponsor, which is manscapedmanscaped.com.

So let's get into this episode today.
It's a solo episode and we're just going forward.
First of all, first of all, I've got to tell you something right
at the start of this episode for us getting into this, I've got
to tell you something. Tomorrow I am getting a
procedure done. And we've talked about it a
little bit on the podcast. I've hinted at it.
We've had some metaphor around it.
There's been suggestion. But tomorrow, ladies and
gentlemen, I'm getting circumcised.
Your boy is getting the hood cut off his boy, I'm getting
circumcised. And you what?
The weird thing is when you tell people that like friends and all
the go, oh, how come you're getting that done?
As if the answer could be anything other than medical
reasons. You know what I mean?
Like, why? Why are you getting circumcised?
I just fancied a day out of the house getting the top of the
knob cut off. Yeah.
What are you? Where are you heading?
Down to get circumcised. I just have always thought that
I've had, you know, you know that phrase too much foreskin's
a bad thing. No, it's obviously because, you
know, the foreskin is just, it's not performing well at the
minute. With common Crohn's disease as
well, they say it can be linked to say you can get inflammation
done there. And normally I would be
delighted with that. Normally if you say you can get
inflammation anywhere in your body, where do you want it?
I go, what you make it swells up and grows and stuff.
OK, penis 100%. But yeah, the doctor was like,
man, you got to, you got to get this done.
In fact, he didn't. That's a mental thing about it.
He's like, you can get this done in about a year if you want.
And I said. Let's just do it.
Let's just bite the bullet and let's do it.
So tomorrow I'm going to get circumcised and I'll say this,
right? I'll say this.
I went and got a COVID test today as part of it, you know,
because basically it's like a bit your boys taking the hit on
this because I think if I was doing this like on the NHSI
think I'd be waiting like years, like literally years.
And we just want, we just want to get.
Yeah. You.
Know that's what I said, the doctor, I said just.
That's what I've got to do. So basically I had to go down
and get a COVID test today to make sure I don't have COVID and
I can go get this operation. And I go down and I get the
COVID test and I just drive down near Boucher to get it done.
And I realised when I was getting it done that I've, I've
never given myself the COVID test properly.
The time I did it before at the Odyssey Dr thru because I did
the I, I had like a cough or like a tickle in the back of my
throat like months and months ago, like the middle of the
spike and I thought, right, I might have COVID here.
I think I've got a symptom. I think I should go down and get
and get a test done. And I went down to the odyssey
like loads of people have. And the part the you know, the
guys in hive is partially the stuff to do it yourself through
the window. And so you've got to do like the
swab of your tonsils and then up your nose and everybody's been
going, Oh, it's so bad, isn't it?
Like it hurts and I'm going, no, not at all.
I was like, it didn't take that long and I didn't find it
intrusive at all. That's.
Because I was. Barely doing it.
And I didn't realise that until I got it done today by somebody
else, by a nurse who comes out to your car and does it.
And she, she goes, yes, we've been uncomfortable.
She goes, don't worry, it's not too bad at all.
Then I said about my tonsils. I was like, I think I did this
before and I was hitting my tongue, you know, And she goes,
all right, I'll just do it here for you now.
And then all of a sudden she was swabbing the tonsils and I
gagged. I did the gag thing and then I
got really. Embarrassed that I did that
they. Went, oh, do people be sick
sometimes? And she went, yeah, yeah, they
do. Sometimes people be sick.
But I got the the tonsil done and that was so bad.
But it only felt like it was for a couple of seconds.
You know, she was like very gentle swabbing.
The tonsils will say that. Then it goes up your nose.
And I also realised like, because I think when I did this
and I didn't know you had to like, properly do it.
I think I just like touched the top of my mouth when I did it
before, which is so. Responsible.
And then when you had to put it up your nose, I think I just put
it in like a centimetre. This one went up my nose,
through my cheekbone, past my eye, like I saw.
The the swab go past the front of my eye, then it went through
my brain and at the top of my head and through the roof of my
car and they they move it around there.
For a few. Seconds.
And then I was just chatting to the nurse and I was like, you
know, there's people you have to get this done like every other
day. And she goes, oh, see, when
you're getting done some other parts of the world, she goes it.
It they like she told me the technique with the swab that
they do in other places with your throat and I was just going
on no. So I don't plan to get
circumcised again is what I'm saying.
I think I'm going to do it once, but I don't want to have to go
and get another COVID test if I don't have to be a boy.
Your boy's getting circumcised tomorrow.
I'm pretty calm, but I don't really know.
I don't know how it's going to look like.
I get what I get what they're doing, but I don't know what the
final product's going to be. And I'm trying to like imagine
it, you know, and I've Googled some images which I shouldn't
have done and I don't know, like what the recovery is going to
be. And I know for a fact that the
baby, I'm going to hold the baby even though it shouldn't for a
couple of days. I know I'm going to hold the
baby and then the baby is going to get a tail and kick the tip
of my Dick basically. And then the baby's going to
hear words that it's never heard before.
Now I'm nervous about it. Now I'm saying it and here's the
worst thing. It's at half five in the
afternoon. That's the worst bit of it.
Like that. You know, I've got all day to
just sit and to sit and obviously in private, you know,
look at my foreskin and just think about the memories, you
know, they, my foreskin's been with me everywhere.
Me and my foreskin have been around the world.
My foreskin's been in Dubai, it's been in America, it's been
in loads of countries in Europe, it's gigged.
You know, this foreskin has performed at the Laugh Factory
in Chicago, it's performed in the Stan Comedy Club in New
York, It's done BBC programmes. Like my foreskin has appeared.
Not like it's based, but you know what I mean?
Like it's been present in so many like great moments.
My foreskin's taken to the stage in the Ulster Hall with me, the
Ulster Hall, the waterfront and all that kind of thing.
And then I'm thinking, what do you, what do they do with it
after? Do I get to keep it?
Who's taken? What do they need it for?
You know, can I get it put on a necklace and some sort of
pendant and then I can wear it because it is part of me.
So what I've done here is I've looked at this might be a gross
episode, but I've looked at myths around circumcision.
Here's the first myth is it says circumcision is just a cosmetic
procedure. I mean, I don't think that I
don't think anyone is like, let me make this deckle cuter.
Can you get? Can you cut?
Most of the skin of it off some people.
Do. Get Oh my God, some people do
just get it done for a cosmetic change.
Imagine, imagine how bored and rich do you have to be to just
go. You know what?
Let me give this guy a new look here.
It offers medical benefits. OK, great.
Especially when compared to a cosmetic procedure like
tattooing or Pearson. Yes, we all know Patty McDonald,
former podcast guest and friend of the show has his cock
tattooed. Reduced risk of penile cancer.
Yes. Didn't know that was the thing.
But the lighted better meal hygiene.
I mean, OK, Yeah, I can see that.
Plus zipper injuries in which the foreskin gets caught and
torn are more likely in uncircumcised males.
First of all, I like to think so.
And secondly. Who's?
Doing that, that isn't nine years old, because I did that
twice in my life and I think once it was 7 and once it was 9.
And the worst thing is, Oh my God.
I could. See the skin in the zip?
Oh my God that's so bad. Circumcision can reduce
instances of STD's OK it can lead to injury that's a myth as
well. It can lead to an injury.
Now this is this website is someone trying to sell the fact
that they do it. You know, it's some American
doctor, but but I was very. Keen to know how it started, you
know what I mean? Like what?
How was the first circumcision done and why was it done?
And it says here it stems from Egyptian, the Egyptian Sikh
dynasty. He sounded like dirty bastards.
It was a relief. Oh, they did like this painting.
No, the painting shows a guy being circumcised, but it also
looks like he's getting a Dick massage because he's standing
with his hand on the guy's head. I mean, I presume I'm not going
to do that to the doctor tomorrow.
Imagine doctors like, listen, I'm going to go down for just
based on this image of doctors like I'm going to go down on my
knees here. Pop your hand.
On the top of my head, and I'll just stretch this out, all
right? OK yeah, The guy in this has
been forcibly restrained in one of them.
Like pretty sly thing to do against somebody's will, you
know, but maybe back in those days they used the foreskin, the
top of it, you know, for some sort of voodoo witchcraft kind
of thing. The Greek historian recorded a
practise in Egypt in 5th century BC.
Male circumcision is linked to a convent with God dating back to
Abraham. And I don't know a lot about the
Bible, but was he like the God tell Abraham to do it.
See, the first get it was God like Abraham?
Do you know what would look so cute?
Because like Abraham, Abe, Abe, Abe.
Hey, babe, let me just say this. You know what would look cute?
Less of a hood there. Let that let that bitch breathe.
You know, I don't know why God has become so calm.
The practise proved a hindrance. The mass conversion to
Christianity. I don't want to get involved in
religious beef, but also does it make me Jewish?
I don't know the rules around it, but I presume that when I
get this done I am entitled. When pubs and stuff reopen, I am
entitled to a full mitzvah. I would I would love that.
Imagine me just not knowing. Like imagine if I genuinely just
didn't know if I was not Jewish after getting this done or not.
Like the first thing I say when the doctor put Oh my God, when
he puts in the last ditch. And by the way, I know this is
gross, right? For part of this, and I'm just
saying it because it's better if I say it.
It's like, you know, getting that out there a problem shared
is a problem half they and I'm not getting put under for this.
I'm not getting like full anaesthetic.
I'm just getting like numbed and Oh my God, can I just say this
right? This is so bad.
Again, this is so bad. But remember, this is just a wee
cheeky episode before we move into the studio.
So they inject, they inject the base of the deck twice.
My eyes are starting to water. Oh, Jesus said in in Christ
Jesus, neither circumcision nor non circumcision counts for
anything. Until 300 BC, the ritual is
recorded as calling only for the removal of the tip of the
foreskin. However, when Jewish athletes
travelled to Greece to complete compete in athletic events, they
imitated their Greek host by pulling the remaining foreskins
over the penis and tying them clothes with a ribbon or a piece
of string. How fucking weird were these
Jewish athletes getting off an EasyJet flight?
Nothings and going guys respect. You know, I think when you like
go to a new country as like as a country, you like maybe offer a
gift from your country or whatever, you know, but the
Greeks probably thought they were getting like chocolates or
some sort of gold plate. What they didn't expect was 18
guys getting off a plane, dropping their bags and going
put a less we ribbon, you know, oh, so weird.
Like, yeah, OK, so these guys had been serviced a bit, but
then they saw the Greek guys and they went, oh, no, they've got
the full thing. So they just pulled it down a
bit and pretended theirs was full, like theirs.
When the athletes returned home, Jewish elders were incensed to
see their foreskins. To put an end to the practise,
they instituted the pariah, which involved not only the
complete removal of the foreskin, but the Terran of the
frenulum, the delicate and sensitive membrane on the
underside of the penis with a sharpened finger.
Oh, fuck off. So how how sly the Jewish elders
being like, come, you here, clip, clip, clip it in your
point. Yeah, like, let's not get too
into this, right? Because some people might wince
at it or some girls might be like, that's disgusting.
Yeah, it seems like there's a long history of it.
And fuck, there we go. We'll just, we move on, but know
that that's what's happening tomorrow.
So that's why look, this might be a little bit of a shorter
episode, but just know that we're in the studio tomorrow and
we're going to call this, we're going to call this episode a
babe. And I'm just making a note of
that. OK, Look, we, we're going to do
what we do on this podcast, which is the TripAdvisor review.
Whenever we are in studio, we'll be we've got like a.
Monitor where we can actually bring these reviews up as we do
it so you can actually see them in all their glory.
And that's just one of the many cool things that we have in this
studio. So I think with today's
TripAdvisor, what we should do is I mean, I'm going to just I'm
just going to click, I'm just going for service station,
right? Service station.
And should we just pick a random one in England?
No, how about America, right, Because the first thing that's
come up is Wally service station and that's in America.
Do you know what? We can't even roast that because
they're in there. Literally is one negative review
211 excellent ones like Wally obviously makes sure the place
is absolutely class. There's a 711.
Do we do that? Do we just pick a real random
American 1 here service station? Like I don't know if anyone else
has been in a service station in America like that, listens to
the podcast, but you just feel cool, you know what I mean?
It's just like, yeah, there's a few truckers hanging out there.
There's a few Hells Angels. I say that they just have a
motorbike. I assume that they're Hells
Angels. OK, We're going to look at the
old Liberty Station in Bedford, VA, which is where I'm not
really good with this stuff. The Virginia?
Virginia maybe? So this just looks like it's
like a restaurant. It's a restaurant, right?
OK, OK, we'll go with that. We'll go with that.
Nah. Do you know what?
Fuck, sorry, I'm in a complete twat here.
Why don't we go with Joe? What I think would be funny, I
think we go McDonald's Times Square because like, first of
all, I've been there before. Why would that not give us that?
Let me just see here. Hang on McDonald's Times Square
review. Oh, OK, OK, we're good.
Oh fuck yeah. There's loads of reviews here.
Right. Can I just?
Say this. Oh, hold on.
The light. The light's on.
On my phone. Hang on.
Let me just turn this off. Sorry.
Fuck. OK.
Shit. Oh, God, Someone's dropping
something off at my house and stuff.
Jesus Christ. OK, OK.
Right. Wow.
Sorry. I'm just really panicking.
No, just I just call my wife, just call my wife money instead
of honey. All good.
We're back in business now. The Times Square in in the
McDonald's in Times Square is one that I've been to before and
I actually had a good experience in it because like most times
where I've been to New York, I've stayed in hotels in Times
Square because it's just like convenient to a lot of places
and you don't know to go to anywhere else.
It takes you a while of going there to go.
All right, people, people from here wouldn't recommend that you
stay here, you know, so you seek out those places.
But the first few times I always just stayed in Times Square like
a big tourist bastard. And also one time, one of the
best moments of my life was I went to New York about six years
ago. Me and Christian Aaron, who's
been on the podcast before, Christian place holder on Game
of Thrones. He's an international DJ and his
tour manager was ill at the plug in my laptop charger.
Oh God. Sorry for watching the video
podcast. I think I pulled something in my
leg there. This episode is wild and all
over the place. Just want my foreskin back.
When you listen to this, I will potentially not have a foreskin.
OK, look, we're settled. We're settled.
So I went with Christian Nairne to New York where he was DJ ING
because his tour manager was sick and I got to go on like a
North America trip with him for about 5 days and we went to New
York, Washington and Ottawa, Canada.
Yeah, to Ottawa and it was unreal.
The trip was so good. And we figured out me and Dave
Elliot that we were going to be overlapping in New York for one
night because he was on, He just happened to be on a family
holiday at the same time. So obviously Dave totally
ditched his family and, and Christian was DJ and Hard Rock
Cafe in Times Square. So he was doing sound cheques
for his gig and all that. And I just, he just said, look,
he goes, they've got a good production team here.
I won't need your help because I mean, what help can Ioffer
really when it comes to production?
You go just just walk away. Ensure come down to the gig
later on if you fancy it. So me and Dave met at about 6:00
somewhere near Times Square. In fact, what we did was we went
to a rib restaurant, just ribs like a BBQ place.
And I'd say there was 4000 people in this restaurant near
Times Square. I've never seen anything like
it. And Dave and I were potentially
the only two white guys there and we fucking loved it.
It was some of the best barbecue food I've ever had, which people
will not believe because they'll go no me at Times Square and
that's all tourist food and all. And like, New Yorkers would hate
that. It was unreal.
It was called like big, big aisle Smoke Shack or something.
It wasn't. I've just made that up.
But anyway, we had a great time there.
Would take a couple of beers with our ribs.
Then we don't really have a plan, but what we start.
Deciding we could do is get Google Maps out and try and have
one drink in every Irish bar around Times Square.
And this is silly because like we're in such great form that
we're having a few in each bar and we just start doing this
tour of Irish bars and falling in the different bars that we
hadn't seen on the list and all that.
We end up the last place in the night.
We oh fuck, I went to go to Christians gig, me and Dave in
the Hard Rock. You put our names down.
I went in and then Christian was like, when you get there, just
tell them you're with me, give them your name.
They'll know and just come backstage, you and Dave and
we'll. Hang out and.
Have a drink, whatever. And I go up to the guy with Dave
and I feel cool because we're walking into the Hard Rock Cafe
in New York. And I'm like, don't worry, I've
got a sorted here. So I go up to like this security
guy for the black suit standing in front of the, like the
production door. And I go up to him and go, hi,
yeah, I'm, we're here with Christian.
And the guy looks at me and he's like, by the way, this was a
Comic Con convention. So the guy's like, he goes, I
don't think so. And I was like, no, no,
literally like, I'm on this trip with him.
I think he's put my name down at Shane Todd.
If you could check. Look, that'd be class.
And he goes, no, he goes, what's your name?
I said Shane Todd. He goes Shane.
I said, yeah, Shane. And he goes, that's not how you
say it. And I went, well, I mean, it is
because I've been saying it for my entire life.
And Dave goes, Daddy, his name is Shane.
And the guy goes, that's not even a real name.
So me and Dave just left the Hard Rock, went back to
drinking. And I think at about 3:00 we
finished up in The Angry Fiddler.
Is that what it's called? Which sounds like a complete
pervert, but it's an Irish born Times Square.
Dave and I like totally rinsed. Really.
Rudolph I walk back to, he works back to his hotel.
I walk back to mine. On my way back through Times
Square, I can't believe that it's still like full of life.
It's during the summer, but it's full of life at like 3:00 AM.
All the lights are still genuine.
I'm not stupid. I thought they switched all the
big lights off in Times Square at like midnight or something,
but no, they just keep going. There's people walking about,
there's still Turg. It's fuck it mental tourists
still all over the place. And I'm blitzed and I walk past
some freestyle footballers, you know, some guys just trying to
earn some money on the sidewalk right in Times Square.
And and I said that one of the guys I just fancied a wee touch.
Here's then 32 was probably in the late 20s at the time.
I will always take a wee touch. If you have a football, I'll,
I'll, I'd like to join in whatever game you have.
So I walk past this guy and I go, yes, may we touch?
And he looks at me, he's like and against his better
judgement, he slowly passes the ball to me, maybe from about 10
yards away. I'm so drunk that my legs don't
really work. So I just let the ball hit my
foot. And then I remember turning
around to the guy and going, how do you expect me to get this
back to you? And then he just came and lifted
the ball. But I don't know what I expected
to happen. I thought I was going to do some
sort of class skill and then I would join their gang.
I don't know how I started this. Oh, yeah.
The next morning after that, me and Christian went to the
McDonald's in Times Square. And I ordered like a muffin,
like a breakfast muffin. But I didn't, there was
something on it I didn't want. And they made they made it like
fresh for me because, you know, they just leave them sitting
there or whatever. And it was one of the nicest
things I've ever eaten. So that's my experience of I
only have good things to say. I only have good things to say
about the Times Square McDonald's.
But let's see what what people have to say.
Also, as we always do, let's look at a couple of excellent
reviews because why would you? Oh, that's so weird.
OK, this is a 5 star review. A very big McDonald's.
We didn't eat here as we wanted to explore food places in New
York, but came here for a drink and it was perfect.
We had a great view of Broadway too.
Who the fuck goes to McDonald's for a drink?
Can you imagine, like meeting a girl or a guy?
And listen, we're really hitting it off, you seem.
You seem really good. I'd love to see more of you.
Fancy heading there for a drink on Friday night?
Yeah, it sounds good. You pick me up.
Yeah, I'll pick you up half an hour later.
Why are we walking into a McDonald's?
Oh, I don't know, A drink? What do you fancy?
Well, I can only pick Coke or find a Dick head, so I'll have
Coke. A drink?
Yeah, we just popped in for a drink.
I'm thirsty. Maybe I'll go to a giant
McDonald's in the middle of the biggest tourist attraction in
America. Some guy said this, This is the
peak of fine dining. They did so much to please me.
They went above and beyond. Even put a pickle on my slice of
burger. That's the most elegant place
you'll find New York's has. Sit down, enjoy the scenery and
great food. That has to be trolling.
That has to be trolling fine dining.
OK, let's look at some real bad reviews.
OK, Peter says avoid terrible food per service visited shortly
after some restrictions lifted. These policies are stupid
enough, but lies, manipulations are another thing and how we
treat each other as another. Ah, allowed to order inside but
take away only after ordering. Told to keep a distance of
around 5 metres even no one else was there and two metres were
recommended. Not to mention the girl telling
me got very close to me yet was told to stay away while my order
was ready. So the exercise was preceded
just to make me feel like a slave coming to be told how to
behave and where to stand. I mean guy, that's what the
world is at the minute. He says he got so angry and rang
a manager. I mean it doesn't say of
McDonald's. He could have rang Jose
Mourinho. Jose, I'm trying to get a Big
Mac here in Times Square. I don't care.
I have to prepare for Arsenal.
We on Saturday. Chris was trying to explain that
stuff is there to make me feel good and welcome.
But these words were empty because I feel ver because life
verified them and I felt like a fool.
This sounds like Peter here has bigger problems.
Bigger problems. 465 Sky says you're crap and never get orders
right. Half the time you're out of
stock and don't say anything when you get to the counter.
Disappointed. I mean, McDonald's shouldn't be
out of stock. What's it out of?
All right, here, listen, we've no burgers or chips on here.
Is there anything else we can do?
We've no baa ba, ba ba. Listen, we've no burgers, chips
or chicken. What a wee pasty do you?
Again, why are people just stopping in stop stop one night
for a quick drink and bite to eat from my daughter.
Oh my God this was the dirtiest McDonald's I've ever seen.
Filthy rude. Manager was rude when I stated
why can't they ever get my 2 item order Right response.
You don't have to come here. Fucking fair dickhead.
That's fair. You don't have to go there if
you get If they keep getting it wrong, don't go there.
Go somewhere else, you'll be a lot happier.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing again and
expecting different results and I've delivered that wrong.
That person's written multiple reviews that that.
Bet you that person got sacked. K2184A says gross.
I hate it. The food tastes like poo.
So I threw a pie at a worker and went home and watched baby Yoda.
I went back and in my Rolls Royce my dad got a pie machine
and spammed them like it was Fortnite baby lol.
Haha noobs peasants. I mean could easily have been
written by Mike McGoldrick. I threw a pie at them in my
Rolls Royce. Peasants, someone wrote.
Packed, as in like, there's a lot of people there.
Well, that's weird. There'll be a lot of people in a
McDonald's in Times Square in New York.
Isn't that funny, cock? Speaking of cocks, this time
tomorrow, 4 minutes time I'll be going in to get to get see all
the ones I'm seeing are from England.
Do you know what I mean? Sarash, who's from United Arab
Emirates, he said visit a McDonald's at JFK airport in New
York, find everything to be horrible.
Well baby, this isn't the one you're reviewing.
The service quality, prices and taste of food, ambience,
cleanliness were all poor. Many restaurants have closed
down in Terminal 4 as a result. This restaurant has a sort of
exclusivity where this type of fast food is concerned.
I mean, not the not a word you associate with McDonald's, let's
be honest, exclusivity. I'm a gentleman who likes some
exclusivity in my life. So perhaps realising customers
don't know much of A choice, management has decided to have
good quality, very low on their priority list.
I would not recommend this to anyone who does, who would walk
about being like, listen missus, there's a restaurant you've got
to try. It's the die for.
Where is it? Oh, it's got a real exclusivity.
It's handy enough. It's at JFK Airport and it's
McDonald's Tony Cardiff who actually says is also from
Cardiff, which I like. OK, that's weird.
OK. Very cramped.
Typical McDonald's will never return after my son spotted a
mice running around the restaurant.
Mention that the employee who just shrugged as if this was
normal would be closed down in the UK.
Yeah, you've got to expect that, though.
Times Square, New York McDonald's.
Jesus. I'm surprised.
I'm surprised they don't have the mice on the payroll, you
know, serving you up. What?
I was going to say Whoppers. That's obviously not what that
is. We'll do one or two more here.
OK, hang on. OK, here we go.
Lessons to be learned. What?
What starts a TripAdvisor review with that?
Lessons to be learned. Went in here as we retired from
sightseeing all day and assumed that we could expect a
reasonable service. Forget it.
Rude staff, serious attitude issues and the place was filthy.
Staff obviously didn't want to be there and so rude.
I thought it may be us but they were rude with all the
customers. Filthy place and unwelcoming
staff. The person under this rights the
homeless had taken over. The restrooms are filthy.
There was a syringe on the restroom floor as everything is
tremendously filthy. Hey, that could have just been a
guy doing steroids up his ass. OK, so don't judge.
The sheer number of homeless abuse in the place should be
avoided, especially late at night.
I mean, I think that's one of those things where like, if you
don't want to see homeless people, don't go to McDonald's
Times Square. Like what?
What are the, what are these people hoping for?
You know what I mean? What a, what is the goal?
Because you're not like what you're searching for.
You're probably not going to find a Times Square McDonald's.
I think we should do more local reviews in the future.
I like that. And let me just say this, as I
was closing that tab, I saw another tab and it's from the
charity that, look, I'm a great guy.
I've done some work for them before, but they have a patron
who's a celebrity and there's a picture of him in this e-mail
I've been sent that I happened to click on by mistake.
And he's just like, smiling like, he loves it.
And it's really funny to me. It's really funny to me because
it's just a genuine smile. And you just don't see genuine
smiles anymore. You know, you're suspicious of
people who really, really smile. You know, it's all about like,
you know, quick smile nowadays, you know, mouth closed.
But what about what about people who are just, like, you just
don't trust anybody who's smiling.
And this person's very famous, and they're just smiling.
And I don't know why, but it's very funny to me.
Very, very funny. OK, look, this is a shorter
episode this week. And apologies, it is a bit all
over the place because my mind is all over the place.
Because tomorrow I finally become one of the chosen people.
What about, like, should I look at becoming Jewish?
Becoming Jewish? Yeah.
Like, we could get very, very sweet tea with me, branded
yarmakis. That could be cool.
I texted me today, and I told him about this because I didn't
just tell him I didn't know where we're supposed to be doing
something tomorrow. And I had to say, look, we
pushed that back because I'm getting this thing done.
And then my mate was like, yeah, welcome to the club.
I didn't know he was Jewish, so let's see what they're all
about. Apparently if you want to
convert, you've got to get hooked up with a rabbi.
OK, so if you want to convert to Judaism as a guy, you do have to
get circumcised. If you're already circumcised, a
single drop of blood is drawn as a symbolic circumcision.
Wouldn't be keen. You know, it's not a missionary
face. You don't have to actively try
and convert people, right? So I don't have to give people
like a discount code to sign up to get them also to become
Jewish. King David himself was a
convert. Love that.
OK, I mean, that's a a difficult website to read, but to
understand. But yeah, I think I'm kind of
partly Jewish, which is cool. I like it.
I would like to get June. I was thinking of doing for a
podcast. It was like genuinely real talk.
I was thinking of getting like, is this a stupid idea of getting
like a Muslim cleric from here, a rabbi, a priest, a minister
and just like getting them involved, like just doing a
podcast, getting them down to the studio when we can't and
just do an episode and go on. What's the crack here?
You know, because I, I, I would love to know like, well, maybe
we have these people on individually, you know, and it's
not me like wanting to roast them or anything like that.
It is just a genuine, like, it would be funny for us to have a
conversation, I think. And I'd be like, you know, what
do you think of him and all? And he's like working, don't
start me in this game. What would this guy?
I just think it would be fun if we got the right people.
I don't know, maybe just because we've got the studio.
I'm just losing the run, losing the run of myself a bit.
And Dan is already very worried that I will want to change the
backdrop in the studio because we've now committed to getting
this done. It's been painted on the wall.
I said the other day I text him because he couldn't come down.
And I said, are you OK with us getting this painted, this
colour? And he goes, yes, but in six
months you can't turn around and say you want to change it.
So what we should do to really crack them up is wait for about
3 weeks and then I'm going to go down.
We should go mint green. You know he hates it.
Next week, Jimmy Lee O'Donnell is going to record an episode
with us. Dave Elliott is coming on the
Tuesday episode. It's a new dawn.
It's a new day for the podcast. We're feeling good.
Andy Malone going to come do an episode 2.
It's a good time. Apologies that this episode was
short and kind of shit and like a bit all over the place, but
you look, you've got it, you've got it.
You've got to own your mistakes. And it was, it's maybe a mistake
for me to get circumcised. It was definitely a mistake for
me to do an episode the day before I get circumcised because
I'm thinking a lot about getting circumcised.
But I just want people to reply under this and that and just I
just say Shalom, that's it. That's all I want.
So Shalom everyone. We'll see you on the other side,
and next week when we do the episode, I will be without
foreskin something to think about.
