1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,560
I'm Michael Che and I'm Colin 
Jose, and we've got a little 

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:05,280
secret. 
Actually, it's a pretty big 

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:06,480
secret. 
Well, now you got to give the 

4
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,360
people something. 
I'm not saying a word. 

5
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:09,920
Oh, then people will know to 
tune in. 

6
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,080
Come on, tell them a little like
how we're hosting of comedy 

7
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:13,440
events streaming only on 
Peacock. 

8
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,520
Exactly how it's called New York
After dark. 

9
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,640
And it's a comedy show that only
features drop in comic boom, you

10
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:20,360
nail into Michael Chase phone 
numbers. 

11
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:24,320
Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey, hey, hey,
New York After Dark. 

12
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,520
It's some kind of comedy thing, 
and it's streaming now only on 

13
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,320
Peacock. 
You love it. 

14
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,720
Everybody, welcome to this 
week's episode of Tea With Me, a

15
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:47,600
very, very, very DIY episode 
that I recorded in my house all 

16
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:52,360
by myself, age 31 1/2 years old.
In this podcast. 

17
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:56,120
At the very start I start 
talking about how you know I'm 

18
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,360
recording the episode video. 
I give a bit of a tour of my 

19
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,880
office. 
The GoPro cuts off halfway 

20
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,120
through. 
So there is no video podcast 

21
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,360
this week. 
But enjoy me being an idiot 

22
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,360
saying you're going to be able 
to see this. 

23
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,680
I'm not and then just. 
Realise that I was sitting with 

24
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,160
a GoPro the whole time but 
wasn't recording, so that's so 

25
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,000
much fun. 
But thanks for listening to this

26
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,920
week's episode. 
Here it is, tea with me with 

27
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,720
Shin Todd zippers. 
Welcome to this week's episode 

28
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,480
of the Tea with Me podcast with 
me, she and Todd. 

29
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:31,160
Let's get right at it because I 
know people are freaking out and

30
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:35,280
they need two things. 
They need a wee cup of tea and 

31
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,000
they need this guy in the rears.
OK. 

32
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,560
And like a wee eerie wig. 
I'm in your ear. 

33
00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:43,640
And are eerie wigs still a 
thing? 

34
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,720
I don't think so. 
But were they really, really 

35
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,960
popular in the mid 90s? 
Yes. 

36
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,160
And that everyone's grand Always
tell you to watch out for eerie 

37
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:53,400
wigs. 
Yes. 

38
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,240
And that was just a thing and it
was a more simple time. 

39
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,360
And Speaking of times, we're in 
very uncertain times right now. 

40
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:06,640
But one thing is for certain, I 
have converted my the box room 

41
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:11,440
in my house into what we're 
calling the Dream factory. 

42
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,760
Look around if you if you don't 
watch the video version of the 

43
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,000
podcast on YouTube, my YouTube 
channel. 

44
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,600
Just let's see what we've got 
going on here. 

45
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,480
And yes, this is going to be a 
very DIY episode of the podcast.

46
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:25,880
But look around here. 
We've got a green screen because

47
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,040
we're going to be doing some 
sketches in the next couple of 

48
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:32,600
days and weeks years. 
I've got shelves behind me with 

49
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,920
just so much stuff. 
Let me let me give you a little 

50
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:40,880
audio on video tour basically 
for a reason which I will tell 

51
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,840
you later on. 
This room was my kind of Home 

52
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,120
Office for so long and then it 
stopped being that about a week 

53
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,320
ago. 
I put a lot of work in to 

54
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,800
convert it into a different room
and now I've had to convert it 

55
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,680
back into this room. 
So it's all go. 

56
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,240
But basically I've got this 
leather sofa. 

57
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,800
Any time I post this in 
pictures, people keep saying I 

58
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:06,240
recognise that mate. 
Casting Coach, listen, this is 

59
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:10,120
my sofa, OK? 
It is not the sofa they use in 

60
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,040
Casting Coach. 
And I don't even know what that 

61
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,520
is. 
I don't even know what that is. 

62
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,960
But I've got a green screen 
here, I've got wee shelves 

63
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,480
behind me with all different 
stuff, have a couple of football

64
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,320
medals. 
I mean, they're not for any 

65
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,920
individual thing really. 
It's more just mainly being part

66
00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:29,480
of a team of charity 
tournaments. 

67
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,200
The ball and door there, I've 
got an African drum. 

68
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,760
If you see me playing that 
African drum and some videos, 

69
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:39,880
you'll know I've run out of 
stuff to do. 

70
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,440
All right, you'll know I've run 
out of videos If I'm like, let 

71
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,200
me play. 
Can you feel the love tonight 

72
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:49,880
via African signed. 
I've got a tea with me mug up 

73
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,880
there, But those aren't they're 
not official merch, all right, 

74
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,160
That's just part of the black 
market merch of the show. 

75
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,280
But eventually we will have tea 
with me mugs. 

76
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:03,200
I've got an Oakland Raiders 
American football helmet, like a

77
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,360
wee mini one. 
I've got a doll of a basketball 

78
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,240
player called Glenn Rice. 
And I don't really know why I 

79
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,240
have that, but I got it on a 
family holiday to Disney once 

80
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,000
and I like it. 
And then I've just got various 

81
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,240
camera equipment and stuff like 
that behind me that I do not 

82
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,560
know how to use. 
Also, if you're watching the 

83
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,640
video version, you can 
appreciate that right now I'm 

84
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,680
wearing some Peppa Pig pyjama 
bottoms, some ankle socks, and a

85
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,480
blue hoodie. 
Because in times like this, we 

86
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,160
wear what we want. 
OK, I finally get to be me. 

87
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,400
I mean, Fast forward to next 
week's podcast where I will be 

88
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:44,080
wearing leather chops, a boob 
tube, and a porn necklace like 

89
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,480
man, Harry Styles. 
But yeah, it's, it's a very, 

90
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,040
it's obviously a very DIY 
episode of T with me. 

91
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,600
Let's get down to the T admin. 
All right, let's get down to the

92
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:53,920
T admin. 
Because let's face it, that's 

93
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,400
why we're all here. 
I have got a standard grey mug 

94
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,280
this week and that's not to 
reflect the national mood. 

95
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,760
That is because this is my 
favourite mug now. 

96
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,160
A lot of people probably thought
my favourite mug would be maybe 

97
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,560
a football mug or, you know, 
some sort of collectible thing, 

98
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,000
something with a bit, with a bit
of flare, a bit of panache. 

99
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,480
Turns out it's just this one. 
And I'm going to have a lovely 

100
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:19,080
sip right now. 
And that's delicious. 

101
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,600
And some people will be going, 
man, can you please not swallow 

102
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,600
on the podcast, Hey. 
Tell your mom not this. 

103
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,960
So here we are, Tea with me 
episode. 

104
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,720
Is it maybe six or seven? 
Yes, something like that. 

105
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,880
And I'm in the house and we're 
going to be in the house for a 

106
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,960
good few more of these. 
I like it. 

107
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,280
I like doing this. 
It definitely took me like a few

108
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,200
goals to get to get it because I
am just in the house. 

109
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,480
And when you're in the studio, 
you're like in work mode. 

110
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,040
But then because I'm in the 
house, I'm also thinking about 

111
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,840
potato waffles. 
I'm thinking about, you know, 

112
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,120
goosebump books that I read when
I was a kid and how you never 

113
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,040
said you were scared by them, 
but secretly you actually were 

114
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,440
scared by them. 
And just a host of distractions.

115
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,440
But we're here. 
I've got to tell you this as 

116
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:14,360
well before I start, so I'm not.
Tech savvy, right? 

117
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,760
And all my friends will know 
that like whenever I'm filming 

118
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:22,000
with Michael Foster, Aaron 
Butler, all those guys, the way 

119
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,600
I can always get them to edit 
something quicker is threatened 

120
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,720
to edit myself or shoot 
something myself. 

121
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,280
They'll go, no, no, no, no, no, 
don't worry. 

122
00:06:28,280 --> 00:06:29,160
We'll do it. 
We'll do it. 

123
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,760
And that's mental because I 
literally studied this in tech 

124
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,280
like film making and all that 
kind of stuff. 

125
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,360
But I don't know what I'm doing.
And a lot of people watching 

126
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,360
this will go, We totally see 
that. 

127
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,000
I don't even know what this 
microphone I have in my hand is,

128
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,520
but I have it. 
And what's crazier than that is 

129
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,960
I have a proper podcast 
microphone sitting behind me, 

130
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,360
but I didn't know how to figure 
out using it. 

131
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,200
And this is just the way it's 
going to be. 

132
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,000
I've got my GoPro and we're 
having a good time. 

133
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,800
So my plan is to do two podcasts
a week and hopefully the Boy 

134
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,400
time podcast as well. 
But we need to figure out a way 

135
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,720
we can do that remotely. 
And spoiler alert, Dave Elliott 

136
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,080
is also a fucking idiot when it 
comes to tech as well. 

137
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,640
But we will eventually, 
eventually figure that out. 

138
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:19,120
And then I'm going to do 
sketches because like I'm full 

139
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,080
time at this and that'll 
surprise a lot of people go how 

140
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:24,920
the fuck can you be full time at
this? 

141
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:30,120
I'm full time a comedy. 
So to sort of go into my 

142
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,520
situation like we, we are kind 
of in this house, me and my wife

143
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,320
on a wee bit of a lockdown, a 
kind of self-imposed lockdown. 

144
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:43,760
Me having Crohn's disease means 
that I can park right outside 

145
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,640
Tesco's. 
It doesn't mean that OK, I don't

146
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,720
have a blue badge, but I still 
do it anyway. 

147
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,280
I don't I park in the modern 
baby sometime. 

148
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,920
I've done it once and it's not 
the worst thing in the world, 

149
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,280
but I actually don't. 
I hate people that do that, but 

150
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,280
I have done it maybe once, but 
only when it's raining, you know

151
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:01,400
what I mean? 
So we kind of are on lockdown. 

152
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,920
We think we are going to be for 
at least six weeks, something 

153
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:12,360
like that, maybe more. 
I'm not self isolating, but I 

154
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,640
mean, to be honest, and by the 
way, this podcast is going to be

155
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,920
rambling this week. 
Being self-employed is self 

156
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,000
isolating. 
You know, I kind of work by 

157
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:30,200
myself most of the day and and 
so I'm always just sitting in 

158
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:35,280
the house, you know, make it 
making my own fun kinda but but 

159
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:40,280
now I am going to be doing way 
more in the house and I'm kinda.

160
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,000
I'm. 
Trying to see the positives in 

161
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:48,680
it all because I reckon by the 
end of all this, and I'm not 

162
00:08:48,680 --> 00:08:51,320
going to talk much at all today 
in this podcast about 

163
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,760
coronavirus and all that kind of
thing, because I'm seeing so 

164
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,920
much about it. 
But I actually think at the end 

165
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,600
of all this, although it is such
a like it's an epidemic or 

166
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:07,120
whatever, which I think it 
really is, I think there will be

167
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,160
positives to come out of it as 
well. 

168
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,440
You know, just in terms of in 
such a terrible situation, I 

169
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,040
think there will be a bit of 
light in it, like our 

170
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,000
relationships, the way we sort 
of treat each other. 

171
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,000
I don't know, I just think 
they'll be, they'll be cool 

172
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,480
stuff and people will be making 
a tonne of content and comedians

173
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,360
like me will be putting videos 
out left, right and centre. 

174
00:09:28,560 --> 00:09:33,040
So I'm just figuring out how 
many I do a day, what the best 

175
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,680
way to shoot them is and all 
that kind of thing. 

176
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,200
But the podcast is still going 
to be here because, I mean, 

177
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,720
coronavirus came at a very, very
awkward time for my podcast. 

178
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,040
Very inconvenient, very 
inconsiderate. 

179
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,760
Some might call it sly. 
Well, we're just getting into 

180
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,760
the groove of the TME podcast. 
We're putting them out there. 

181
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:57,040
We go into the UK podcast charts
where we go in top ten, I say 

182
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:01,640
top 10137, OK. 
But people are still absolutely 

183
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,240
buzzing about it. 
It virtually ends the troubles. 

184
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,280
People are like, Oh my God, 
you're 137. 

185
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:10,240
The podcast charts and it's just
me, Dan and Big Mike Guinness 

186
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,160
studio and we're killing it and 
we're drinking the tea and look,

187
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,320
the tea bag companies are 
fighting over us. 

188
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:22,080
Tetley coming in with a mill 
week, Panjana double it. 

189
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,840
The EPG tips monkey is like me, 
whatever you need. 

190
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,760
And he winks at me and he goes 
whatever you need. 

191
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,720
And I was like, I don't know 
what you're implying there, but 

192
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:35,760
I don't want it. 
And then fucking COVID, who, by 

193
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,280
the way, sounds like the way 
people are talking about COVID, 

194
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,000
he sounds like an international 
student at a uni that everyone 

195
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,720
fucking hates. 
That's just the way people are 

196
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,440
like fucking fucking COVID, 
mate. 

197
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:54,640
And Covid's like guys apologise,
you know, but it's, it's common 

198
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,000
or not. 
It's an inconvenient time for 

199
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,520
the podcast for coronavirus to 
to have had. 

200
00:10:58,520 --> 00:10:59,840
And I'm just going to be honest 
about it. 

201
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:05,280
I think could it could it 
potentially be a sabotage from 

202
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,280
other TBS podcasts? 
Yes. 

203
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,800
OK, let's not rule that out. 
I got I got a text message. 

204
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,800
By the way, getting text 
messages now is the same way you

205
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,880
got them whenever you were like 
14 or 15. 

206
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,360
When you just get a phone, 
you're buzzing to get a text. 

207
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,840
You're like, who has text me? 
You know, And then it's just all

208
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,800
the WhatsApp groups you're in 
and you're just waiting for the 

209
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,080
most intelligent person in the 
WhatsApp groups you're in 

210
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,040
telling you information and then
you go. 

211
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,200
That's what I'm going to take as
gospel because it's been said by

212
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,720
the least stupid person in my 
WhatsApp group. 

213
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:42,800
But look, we are kind of in 
lockdown. 

214
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:47,600
What we're trying to do is have 
like a routine, you know. 

215
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,880
So by the way, it's only been 
two or three days, but already 

216
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,400
I'm like, yeah, I'm on the best 
thing to do is get a routine. 

217
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,320
You know, my experience of these
lockdowns, get a routine. 

218
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,000
That's the number one thing. 
But but yeah, we're just going 

219
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,880
out to do nature things. 
Yesterday went to the beach and 

220
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,240
there was absolutely nobody 
there. 

221
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,480
And it was great. 
It was raining, but I was like, 

222
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,880
this is actually lovely, you 
know? 

223
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,560
And it was in times like this as
well. 

224
00:12:12,680 --> 00:12:17,960
I want everyone to remember that
there is a shop in Belfast 

225
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:26,880
called JoJo Mamambebe and 
whenever you're feeling down, 

226
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,800
whenever you go, I don't know 
what's happening here because it

227
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:35,120
is such a time of uncertainty. 
I want you to just remember that

228
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:40,680
on the Lisburn Rd, amongst shops
with normal names like Moulds, 

229
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:49,360
there is a shop that is so 
unnecessarily called JoJo My Mom

230
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,680
Baby. 
And I want you to think whenever

231
00:12:52,680 --> 00:12:55,440
you're going through a bit of a 
rough time in the next couple of

232
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,960
weeks, months, whatever, I want 
you to just imagine the people 

233
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:03,120
that work there, whenever they 
answer the phone, they have to 

234
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,720
say hello, how's it going? 
This is JoJo My Mom Baby. 

235
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,520
And that will always make you 
feel better because it doesn't 

236
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,640
need to be called that. 
It's in Belfast, you know, And I

237
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,200
also want you to picture people 
saying it. 

238
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,400
We need a caught here. 
Must take a race up to that JoJo

239
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,600
Mama baby. 
So that, I mean, that's what I 

240
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,040
do. 
If I'm like, I don't know what's

241
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,560
happening. 
I just think of that and it's 

242
00:13:28,560 --> 00:13:31,120
all good. 
She's your Mama baby. 

243
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,680
I mean, it's cool if it's called
that in Paris. 

244
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:40,480
I must nip over. 
I mean, OK, one thing we need to

245
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:45,000
do in in lockdown is find out if
people in France say nip over or

246
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:49,320
is that just our thing? 
Bonjour, I'm going to nip over 

247
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:53,280
to the shop. 
It's one thing worth finding 

248
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,040
out. 
But I mean, if they're saying it

249
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:59,760
there, I must go to it works. 
You get a fellow from Lisburn 

250
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,960
taking a message up here. 
I've got some vouchers for JoJo 

251
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,560
and my mom baby. 
Always enjoyable. 

252
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:13,720
Yes, we're on a bit of a lock 
down here and a big reason for 

253
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:20,400
that is that there are two of us
in this house. 

254
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:27,960
But there will in not that long 
the time be 3. 

255
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:34,200
And I think, you know maybe what
I'm saying here. 

256
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:39,040
But yeah, we have to take extra 
precautions because there's 

257
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,560
going to soon be somebody else 
in the house and some people are

258
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,840
probably going, is someone 
coming over for lunch? 

259
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:51,680
No, I mean, we are or having our
own baby, OK, So we have to take

260
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,520
extra precautions. 
Some people might notice I'm 

261
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:59,840
wearing dally pig pyjama bottoms
and I got those at Christmas 

262
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:06,320
because I'm going to be a daddy 
and 99% of people are going, Oh 

263
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,840
my God, that is so cute. 
And there's some people that are

264
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,840
going, oh mate, you're such a 
loser. 

265
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,520
And I'm OK with both of those 
things because it's, it's the 

266
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,800
best thing ever. 
It's the best thing ever. 

267
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,680
And even though we don't know 
what's happening with anything, 

268
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,440
you know, we don't know what's 
happening in the hospitals and 

269
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,800
all that. 
And we've got things we need to 

270
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,560
get to, We've got appointments 
we need to get to, but we'll 

271
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,040
just, we'll just make it all 
work. 

272
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:39,760
And then that that's kind of 
crazy as well, that, I mean, 

273
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,960
it's the most crazy thing ever 
to happen to me that, you know, 

274
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:50,360
I'm going to be, I'm going to be
somebody's dad because I'm not 

275
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:54,840
really what people think about 
when they say someone's father. 

276
00:15:55,240 --> 00:16:00,080
You know, like if you're in a 
bit of a fight and you say to 

277
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,360
someone, my dad's coming around 
to sort this out. 

278
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:08,960
What you don't picture is little
Lord Fauntleroy here coming 

279
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:10,400
around to sort it out, hands on 
hips. 

280
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:17,480
Hey, what's going on here? 
You know, I'm not like if my 

281
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,760
child is older and it's having 
sleepovers with like school 

282
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,560
friends and then the school 
friends as their parents, are we

283
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,600
allowed to stay at, you know 
this kids house? 

284
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:28,880
Then the parents go, I'll need 
to speak to their parents. 

285
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,080
If I then arrive around the 
parents will go. 

286
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,560
I said get his dad, not one of 
his other we mates. 

287
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,480
I'll always have to be like I'm 
not your child's other friend 

288
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,840
from school. 
I'm its parent, you know, so 

289
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,080
it's just weird. 
It's weird that I'm going to be 

290
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:50,960
a die, but it just is. 
It just is happening and I. 

291
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:56,680
Probably will talk about it. 
In, in podcasts and stuff in the

292
00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,240
next while. 
But you know, I, I, I do like to

293
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,360
keep a lot of that stuff 
private, but it kind of makes 

294
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,560
sense to talk about it because 
it describes why we're maybe, 

295
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,079
maybe even. 
Sorry, my phone's. 

296
00:17:10,079 --> 00:17:16,920
Dave Elliott, my, my other son. 
It just makes sense to kind of 

297
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:21,599
talk about it because it's such 
a big part of what's going on 

298
00:17:21,599 --> 00:17:25,240
with me at the minute. 
And also, I'm 1000 out of 1000 

299
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,960
excited about it. 
And have I cried at every scan? 

300
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,800
Yes. 
I even cry when people are just 

301
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,440
scanning things in general. 
You know, sometimes I just hang 

302
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,880
about in local libraries, you 
know, when some guy is scanning 

303
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,320
a Finance Report, you know, for 
his taxes. 

304
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,760
I'm just in tears with my hand. 
This back on man, I'm so proud 

305
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,880
of you. 
But I do cry. 

306
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:53,040
I do cry at every single 
milestone type thing. 

307
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:58,480
Scan No, got the news cried OK, 
just just completely cried. 

308
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,480
Like like completely like it 
was. 

309
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:05,200
If I had no bones in my body, I 
just like I just went totally 

310
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,720
limp and then I'd sit down for a
while. 

311
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:15,840
But every scan, everything. 
We also bought some like because

312
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,800
we don't know the gender yet. 
So we bought some baby clothes, 

313
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,000
like just like one or two wee 
things when we didn't quite 

314
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,960
demean to buy that. 
And when we bought them, I 

315
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:27,800
cried. 
And then when we got them home 

316
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:32,280
and I hung them up beside all my
clothes, I cried and I always 

317
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:37,640
cry and I'm a crier and probably
I might already have had a 

318
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,760
little bit of coronavirus, but 
I've cried it out. 

319
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,560
So that's what I would recommend
people do if you, if you start 

320
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,960
obviously not me saying that 
there will be 114 year old guy 

321
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:48,920
going. 
Is it me? 

322
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,160
Is that what you do? 
I I can get it then. 

323
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:58,320
I just need the garden. 
But yes, so that is a big, big 

324
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,280
thing at the minute. 
So that combined with the fact 

325
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,400
that because I've got to make it
about myself as well, I have 

326
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,160
Crohn's disease. 
Guys, I don't know if I 

327
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,520
mentioned it. 
But I've got Crohn's disease, 

328
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,760
but I'm just running about like 
some sort of hero anyway. 

329
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:18,360
So we are going to be that fun. 
And we you know, what's funny is

330
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,320
they'll also be 12 people 
watching this going. 

331
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:22,240
He's having a child. 
I thought he. 

332
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:26,840
Was. 
No, he's not all right, you 

333
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,640
know. 
But hold on, let me have 

334
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:33,120
another. 
Let me have another sip of tea. 

335
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,200
Also, it's going to be difficult
doing stand up when this whole 

336
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:43,560
coronavirus thing ends because I
don't want to do anything down 

337
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:49,440
the line other than get fun 
novelty outfits from me and my 

338
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:53,440
child and dress us both up and 
do photo shoots. 

339
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,600
That's what I want to do full 
time like that. 

340
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,800
I mean, there is money to be 
made there definitely, you know,

341
00:20:01,120 --> 00:20:05,120
but. 
But yeah, it's so that so so 

342
00:20:05,120 --> 00:20:06,960
that's that. 
So that's my news, guys. 

343
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,040
OK. 
So I hope in this time of 

344
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:15,880
uncertainty we can all go mate. 
Fair play to you, Big Daddy Peg 

345
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:20,360
himself. 
So yeah, that's great. 

346
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,640
The the not great thing is 
there's no gigs for so long. 

347
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,680
And I get that there's way more 
important things in the world 

348
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,360
than stand up gigs. 
You know, that definitely gets 

349
00:20:31,360 --> 00:20:34,640
put into perspective. 
But it's just funny that I have 

350
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:38,520
all this energy for like, I'm so
used to just going to being able

351
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,600
to perform and I know I just 
can't go and do that. 

352
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,400
So I'm just running about trying
to do gigs to people, but in a 

353
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,280
roundabout way. 
So I'm not making it seem like a

354
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,320
gig, you know, but if like, kids
from next door kick the ball 

355
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,480
into my garden and like, you 
just want your ball back. 

356
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,640
Yeah, yeah. 
All right, well, let me run some

357
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,720
new material by you guys. 
Funny thing happened to me this 

358
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,920
week. 
And they're like, fuck off. 

359
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:05,480
I go, hey, cut it out because 
I'm going to be a father myself,

360
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,840
you know, totally irrelevant. 
I mean, I'm just telling people 

361
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,040
that I'm going to be a dad in 
situations that don't merit it. 

362
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,200
You know, some guy, some guy 
walking at the street or I meet 

363
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:19,120
you at the time when you're 
there. 

364
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,720
Yeah. 
The time is fatherhood. 

365
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:28,680
OK? 
Fucking time is a decade. 1:15 I

366
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,240
wrote down a wee list of a load 
of things that I want to talk 

367
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,920
about, but as always, I'm 
probably not going to get 

368
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,120
through them all. 
I've got a load of questions 

369
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:42,040
from last week on Twitter and 
Instagram that I'm going to get 

370
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,520
through. 
Before I do that, let me just 

371
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,400
mention something really quick, 
which is going to be kind of 

372
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:53,200
important to me in the next 
while, and that is we have a 

373
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,520
Patreon for the Tea With Me 
podcast. 

374
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:02,000
Let me bring it up here. 
Patreon, Oh my God, why don't I 

375
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,440
don't know how to work things, 
Yes. 

376
00:22:05,120 --> 00:22:12,360
So if you go to patreon.com/tea 
with Me pod at patreon.com/tea 

377
00:22:12,360 --> 00:22:16,240
With Me pod, what happens is, 
and I'll post the links for that

378
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,680
up as well. 
It means you can support the 

379
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:24,560
podcast with a small like 
subscription. 

380
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,400
So what you can do is pay like 
if you can, obviously, because 

381
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,720
it's such a shit time that 
there's people getting laid off 

382
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,160
from jobs and all that kind of 
thing. 

383
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,640
So listen, this is only if you 
can do it. 

384
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,120
If you want to support the 
podcast with like a fiver a 

385
00:22:38,120 --> 00:22:41,360
month, with a tenner a month or 
more than that, you can. 

386
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,240
And there's like wee tears of 
what you can get for that. 

387
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,360
Now if you support the podcast 
with 0 month, you just get the 

388
00:22:47,360 --> 00:22:49,280
podcast. 
And a lot of people have said 

389
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,920
that's more than enough. 
OK, people around the world have

390
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,840
said you're too kind Messiah. 
And I'm like, don't call me 

391
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,120
Messiah. 
But what you'll get is a bonus 

392
00:22:59,120 --> 00:23:01,040
podcast. 
And we already have a couple of 

393
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,680
those in the bank. 
So they're just an extra week 

394
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,360
podcast for the Patreon people. 
And as as you sort of donate 

395
00:23:07,360 --> 00:23:10,320
more, you get more sort of perks
and things like that, but only 

396
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,240
if you can't do it. 
So I just want to give that a 

397
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,200
quick plug before we get back 
into the podcast. 

398
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:19,240
Patreon.com/tea with Me pod Also
going forward for these 

399
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,480
episodes, I am going to do my 
best to get guests on, even 

400
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:27,240
though we're kind of on lockdown
here, so it'll probably just be 

401
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,240
audio. 
So I'll be here. 

402
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,800
I'll be here doing the video 
looking like this if you're 

403
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:38,600
watching the podcast, but I will
have an audio line played in for

404
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:42,560
some guests, but I don't know 
1000% if I can do that. 

405
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:46,480
But that's my intention, so I'm 
just going to try and bring you 

406
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,280
good podcasts coming up in the 
next few while. 

407
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,120
There you go, patreon.com/tea 
with me pod. 

408
00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,720
Welcome back to the Tea with Me 
podcast. 

409
00:24:00,360 --> 00:24:02,080
Here's the thing. 
I've got a weird amount of tea 

410
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,200
left in my cup and it's not 
roasting, you know, but it's not

411
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:11,640
like it's not roasting but it's 
not not fit for purpose is what 

412
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,520
I'm trying to say. 
Before I get into listeners 

413
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:17,840
questions, I have to talk about 
something that I absolutely love

414
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,800
and that is the programme Love 
Is Blind. 

415
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:25,520
One of the best things about 
lockdown is we have been able to

416
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:29,680
watch Love Is Blind on Netflix, 
but we've not watched the whole 

417
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,480
thing in one day. 
We're sort of spreading that out

418
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:33,840
and trying to watch an episode a
day. 

419
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,400
Hey, it's the greatest show 
ever. 

420
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:41,400
What it is is this, I think, I 
don't know how many people went 

421
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,480
into it, but couples meet each 
other, so they're segregated 

422
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,440
into boys and girls, which is 
the way it should be. 

423
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:50,120
P7 disco style, boys on this 
side, girls on this side. 

424
00:24:50,360 --> 00:24:52,720
They're chatting about makeup. 
We're trying to break dance. 

425
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,960
To run DMC and Jason Nevis, it's
like that. 

426
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,480
That was just the last P7 disco 
I remember. 

427
00:24:59,120 --> 00:25:00,600
You can really break dance. 
Cheers. 

428
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,760
And no one could, absolutely 
nobody could. 

429
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,880
There was this guy called Phil 
who could in my primary school 

430
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:08,800
and he did it on the last P 
seven days ago. 

431
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,400
And it was weird that he could 
do it well and all the boys 

432
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:12,720
didn't like it. 
And we're like me. 

433
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,360
And it's weird that you've 
practised doing that. 

434
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,360
We're just doing like a spin 
kind of until we stop spending. 

435
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:22,240
But he was like doing moves and 
it was weird because hey, he was

436
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,400
white. 
So there you go. 

437
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,400
But love is blind is amazing. 
They get boys to speak to girl 

438
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:32,120
like men to speak to women, and 
they're in pods so they can't 

439
00:25:32,120 --> 00:25:33,680
see each other. 
They can just hear each other 

440
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,960
and they get to know each other.
So it's all about guys. 

441
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,680
Is love blind? 
Can they build an emotional 

442
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,320
connection? 
And then what they do is they 

443
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:42,760
release them. 
I mean, you can just get 

444
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:47,480
released if you want, I guess. 
But when you ask someone to 

445
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,360
marry you and you both get 
engaged, then you can leave. 

446
00:26:07,120 --> 00:26:09,560
And we're back. 
So I had to take a quick break 

447
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:15,280
there because my GoPro was full.
And in in that moment he 

448
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:20,240
realised he was not equipped 
this week for video podcasts. 

449
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,880
So that's sad. 
But look, it's an audio version,

450
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,960
OK? 
And that is, as we've agreed, 

451
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,160
more than enough. 
But yeah, I've got. 

452
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:31,200
Do you know what the mad thing 
is? 

453
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,280
I've got I've said that 80 times
this podcast. 

454
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:34,240
Do you know what the mad thing 
is? 

455
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:35,840
It's the worst catch phrase of 
all time. 

456
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:38,280
Do you know what the mad thing 
is? 

457
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:43,200
I've said that 98 Times Now. 
Yes. 

458
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,600
The annoying thing is I have an 
unbelievable camera. 

459
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,880
I've got like a really good 
Canon camera that I bought last 

460
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,400
Christmas and I've never really 
used. 

461
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:56,160
So that is one thing I'm going 
to learn in lockdown, how to use

462
00:26:56,160 --> 00:27:00,360
that camera and then I'm going 
to make music videos. 

463
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,680
Imagine I did that just like 
recorded a full album in here. 

464
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,680
I'm just like, I'm not that good
a singer. 

465
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,360
In fact, I'm not good at singing
and then just released it. 

466
00:27:09,360 --> 00:27:14,600
But like deadly series after. 
Oh, it's what you do to me. 

467
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,240
Hey there, Delilah. 
But like but like. 

468
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,840
I put so much work into it, I 
would enjoy doing that. 

469
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:27,280
Yeah, I've got loads and loads 
of questions, so I'm going to do

470
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,200
my best to get through them. 
Cheers to everybody who sent 

471
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,160
questions in. 
Also, we've got this. 

472
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,800
News thing that I'm going to 
tell you about, and I'll also 

473
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:40,200
post up about it and all that 
kind of thing where I'm going to

474
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:44,000
get used to saying voice notes 
in where you can ask questions, 

475
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,440
suggest topics. 
Chat to me. 

476
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:53,680
Producer Dan has set that up and
you can do it. 

477
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,480
Here we go. 
If you want to send in voice 

478
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,960
memos or anything like that, get
in touch with the podcast, send 

479
00:27:59,960 --> 00:28:01,960
questions. 
I'll still do the question shout

480
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:03,440
out in Twitter and Instagram and
all that. 

481
00:28:04,360 --> 00:28:08,840
But if you want to do it more 
directitsteawithmepodcast@gmail.com,

482
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,320
that's 
teawithmepodcast@gmail.com. 

483
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:14,800
And that's the way you can sort 
of do it more direct. 

484
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,760
But I put out the shout for 
questions last week and then we 

485
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,240
were we recorded. 
Last week, me and Michael, me 

486
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,640
and Big Mike, sorry, already 
dead, name him. 

487
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:29,320
But we did that last week. 
But then it just felt weird. 

488
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,800
It was a day that. 
You know, the extent of 

489
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,160
coronavirus and all that things 
kind of kicking in. 

490
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,880
And we were like halfway through
the podcast and I went, it's a 

491
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,760
really weird atmosphere. 
And he went, yeah. 

492
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:41,800
And I went, yeah. 
And then we just went home. 

493
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,480
So there's that, but at the show
for. 

494
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:51,080
Questions and loads you 
responded so I want to get 

495
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:51,960
through them. 
Here we go. 

496
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,280
First question is from Mark 
Miller. 

497
00:28:54,280 --> 00:29:00,160
Have you been panicked by NT? 
This isn't a lie but I own 

498
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,760
probably close to and I don't 
want people to fucking mate you 

499
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,280
need to hook us up. 
I own about 1000 tea bags 

500
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:09,680
because the garage. 
Near me was doing a deal last 

501
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:14,440
year and I said if. 
If you meant to do this to like 

502
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,680
attract idiots, you know, the 
way some some deals are clearly 

503
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,920
set up for idiots too, that's 
actually a pretty good deal. 

504
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,160
But it's not. 
If they meant that for this, 

505
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,240
then they succeeded because I 
went, hey, let me rent a van. 

506
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,040
You know, I rented a van and six
Polish guys and we cleared the 

507
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,280
place out. 
So I haven't been manic buying 

508
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,840
tea. 
But then tea's not a panicky 

509
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:35,920
thing. 
You know, That's a beauty of 

510
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:38,320
tea. 
Nobody's like coffee's like I'm 

511
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:39,960
on the go. 
I need a coffee. 

512
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:44,840
People like down a coffee, tea 
is to be sipped and enjoyed. 

513
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,160
So I haven't been, and I hope 
you haven't been either, Mark. 

514
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,120
But I hope you're well. 
My man Richard Parker says 

515
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,360
where's your escape plan if 
virus goes from flu to zombie 

516
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,080
overnight? 
And he says at the end clarifies

517
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:00,520
that and says what is your 
escape plan? 

518
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:04,640
Not where I'm actually going to 
lie down. 

519
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:08,120
Maybe sofa here? 
Oh, this not this is the ticket.

520
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,000
This is the ticket. 
Yes. 

521
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:18,920
My escape plan would probably be
to see. 

522
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,640
I don't have an escape plan 
though, But if I did, if I was 

523
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:26,720
like a James Bond type guy, like
some sort of single Maverick 

524
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:32,880
guy, I would probably have some 
sort of undergrowing tunnel that

525
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:37,640
eventually tunnels up to Nandos.
So it's not really escape, it's 

526
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:38,960
more just me thinking about 
food. 

527
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,680
And then I would just, I would 
just get into Nando's and then 

528
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,120
spend as much time living there 
as possible. 

529
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:50,520
Breakfast, butterfly chicken, 
Lunch, butterfly chicken, dinner

530
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:56,240
half chicken because you've got 
to mix it up, Jamie says. 

531
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:57,880
But it's mad. 
That there are people who are 

532
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,360
probably genuinely thinking 
about panic or sorry, like 

533
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,000
escape plans. 
There's probably some guy in 

534
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:10,760
Macrofeld going, here's the 
thing, boy, I'm going to build a

535
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,400
spaceship, you know? 
And there probably is some guy 

536
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:17,560
like on the back of a cornflakes
box designing his spaceship and 

537
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,360
all he's got is like bottles of 
Buckfast and settle tape. 

538
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,280
Jamie Harrison, If you could 
pick a day to relive over and 

539
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:28,720
over, Groundhog Day style, what 
day would it be and why? 

540
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:36,880
If I could pick a day, that 
probably my last Waterfront 

541
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,400
show, because it was the first 
time I'd done the Waterfront. 

542
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,400
Not that it's important, but it 
was sold out. 

543
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,360
Not that that's important, but 
that's everything. 

544
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:51,880
And my friends and family were 
able to go, most of them. 

545
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,880
I had a lovely dinner with 
friends beforehand, did the gig,

546
00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:01,240
it was so lovely. 
Then afterwards we went out for 

547
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,200
a couple of drinks. 
I went home. 

548
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,680
Me and my wife got home for like
12. 

549
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,680
I watched much of the day, had a
cup of tea. 

550
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:12,880
That's the that's the dream 
right there. 

551
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:17,560
That was a great day. 
So I'd probably relive that over

552
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,640
and over again. 
Roshan says. 

553
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:21,880
Roshan or Roshan, you know, 
potato, potato. 

554
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,520
She says, how did you break your
nose? 

555
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,080
Please? 
How did you break your nose? 

556
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:32,120
Please? 
I I broke my nose. 

557
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,040
That's a good question. 
Fuck, I didn't break my nose. 

558
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,920
I think I was playing indoor 
football and this really nice 

559
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:45,920
man called Richard like went the
header of the ball and headed my

560
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:50,840
big snide. 
So I'm pretty sure that, yeah, 

561
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:52,840
that was it. 
And he felt really, really bad 

562
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:54,080
about it. 
And I was like, don't worry. 

563
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:56,920
And then assault in the mirror 
and I was like, Richard, worry, 

564
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:04,320
Richard, you monster. 
But I think I fucked up because 

565
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,440
when I went up the hospital, 
they were like, yeah, it's bust.

566
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:13,680
And they put these. 
No, that's not true. 

567
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,120
I went up the hospital and then 
I went out that night because it

568
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,520
was still kind of student age. 
And I was like, I'm a legend. 

569
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,440
I'm going out here. 
And then I had an operation to 

570
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:27,120
reset it and they put these like
plasters over my nose, you know,

571
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:31,080
like 6 plasters going down my 
nose to keep it in place after 

572
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,320
the operation they'd done. 
And genuinely, I had a gig that 

573
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,760
night. 
So I went, I can't go on with 

574
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:38,040
these fucking plasters on my 
nose. 

575
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,440
So I took them off and I think 
if I hadn't, I took them off, my

576
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:41,600
nose would be perfectly 
straight. 

577
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:46,040
But the main thing is looking 
good on stage. 

578
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,840
Am I right guys? 
So that's how I broke my nose. 

579
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,760
Connell O'Neill says worst gig 
you've ever performed at. 

580
00:33:53,000 --> 00:34:00,000
Hey man, TYP take your pick. 
Every local comedian has 600 bad

581
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:07,480
gig stories and I have 599. 
The worst one ever. 

582
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:12,080
I don't know because you can, 
your parameters for it are 

583
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,400
always totally different. 
Like some people might go the 

584
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,719
worst ever is when like the 
audience is like not listening 

585
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,600
to their performers and you go 
on stage in the middle of that. 

586
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,800
So nobody's listening to you. 
So you're just doing stand up 

587
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,679
essentially to yourself. 
That can be bad. 

588
00:34:25,679 --> 00:34:27,360
But then there's part of that 
where you're like, oh fuck it, 

589
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:31,320
I'll just motor on through here.
But sometimes the worst one can 

590
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:36,440
be when it goes just OK. 
Like this definitely isn't the 

591
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:42,040
worst gig I've ever performed 
at, but I mean, it wouldn't make

592
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:47,080
the bottom 500. 
But this is me because this 

593
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:51,040
podcast is honest, right? 
So I'm always going to tell you 

594
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,600
about the gigs that go well on 
the sold out Waterfront. 

595
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,000
But then I'll also tell you when
I think I fucked it up. 

596
00:34:56,280 --> 00:35:00,440
And a big one of those was I did
the Galway Comedy Festival last 

597
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,440
year, the Vodafone Comedy 
Carnival. 

598
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:07,000
I think that's what it's called,
with Mickey Bartlett and Colin 

599
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:11,080
Geddes and loads of our friends.
And we went down and did that 

600
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,960
and had really good shows at the
festival. 

601
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:18,240
But they did an RTE taping for a
TV show to go out in RTE like 

602
00:35:18,240 --> 00:35:19,760
live from the festival kind of 
thing. 

603
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:25,520
And they were there was 1 
audience sitting in a big tent 

604
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:29,120
and it was like comedian after 
comedian after comedian doing 10

605
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,960
minutes and just. 
Luck of the draw. 

606
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:38,760
I ended up going on last, so it 
was supposed to be like a 2 hour

607
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,840
record for talk's sake and it 
was a little more like 5 because

608
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:47,720
that always happens with these 
things so I can't blame it on 

609
00:35:47,720 --> 00:35:51,600
that. 
But here's a weird thing, I wore

610
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:55,200
a shirt and boots and I'd never 
normally do that on stage. 

611
00:35:55,720 --> 00:35:59,560
Like a shirt and brown boots and
I was waiting to go on stage. 

612
00:35:59,720 --> 00:36:02,920
Very uncomfortable because I was
like, this isn't what I normally

613
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,920
wear, why am I wearing this? 
So that was already in my head. 

614
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,440
Then I was literally the last 
person on of the day, so about 

615
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:15,360
half the audience had left and 
but yet, and that sounds like an

616
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:19,520
excuse, it isn't because there 
was people just on before me 

617
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,160
doing well and stuff like 
killing it. 

618
00:36:22,240 --> 00:36:25,800
I went on and I think in my head
I'd already and I shouldn't do 

619
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,320
this because I've been doing 
stand up too long for this. 

620
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,840
But I went on like this isn't 
going to be good. 

621
00:36:32,720 --> 00:36:38,560
So I was going on like in a 
negative way and to stand over 

622
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:42,120
my convictions. 
You can actually see this on 

623
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,000
YouTube. 
It just got uploaded yesterday. 

624
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,600
If you type in the thing, it's 
like Vodafone Comedy, she and 

625
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:53,360
Todd, they uploaded all the sets
and in no way is it the worst 

626
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:56,520
gig I've ever done. 
Bits work, bits don't, but it's 

627
00:36:56,520 --> 00:37:00,600
just interesting to look at me 
and go, he's not comfortable 

628
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,480
there. 
You know, I kind of rifle 

629
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,840
through my material too quick. 
I didn't just stand there and do

630
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,320
my thing. 
So that's not the worst gig I've

631
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:14,560
ever done, but sometimes ones 
that actually go OK, you can 

632
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,280
still walk away from being more 
angry because the ones that are 

633
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,800
really bad, you go, oh, that was
a bad gig because the audience 

634
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:24,240
were terrible or that was a bad 
gig because the night is badly 

635
00:37:24,240 --> 00:37:25,720
run. 
But there's shows like that, 

636
00:37:25,720 --> 00:37:28,600
like that RTE 1 where you go 
actually, it's set up really 

637
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:30,120
nice. 
I just didn't have a good one, 

638
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,840
you know, but, but I'm not like 
I am harsh on myself if the gig 

639
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:39,480
goes bad, but I am always kinda 
looking forward to the next one.

640
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,240
You know, I'm like, OK, I fucked
that up. 

641
00:37:42,240 --> 00:37:44,400
But I've because at the festival
there's loads of gigs. 

642
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,800
So I'm like, OK, I didn't have a
good one there, but I've got a 

643
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,840
gig in an hour and a half, let 
me go and have a good one there.

644
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:55,040
And what's kind of good is I did
Pug Ugliese Comedy Club last 

645
00:37:55,040 --> 00:38:00,720
week for Dave, for Dave Elliott.
I headlined that because Colin 

646
00:38:00,720 --> 00:38:03,080
was supposed to be on but he had
he had to pull out. 

647
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:08,960
So I filled in as the poster 
said or the like Instagram post 

648
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:12,840
for pubs, comedy club. 
I filled Colin's Hall and that 

649
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:14,320
is not the first time that I've 
done that. 

650
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,520
The Sunday will probably run 
with that now because there's 

651
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:23,680
not really much going on. 
But it was a real, if that was 

652
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,040
the last gig for a couple of 
weeks or months, that was a 

653
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:27,680
really, really nice one to go 
out on. 

654
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:29,440
I enjoyed that doing some new 
material. 

655
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,560
There was kind of a weird 
atmosphere there because it was 

656
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,760
like a public gathering of about
70 people and people were kind 

657
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,840
of a bit, but it was it was 
class. 

658
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:43,000
So yeah, sometimes the worst 
gigs, sometimes you could like 

659
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:46,000
watch me at a gig and go. 
That was great. 

660
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:47,560
Did you love that? 
And I'll be going. 

661
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:49,600
No. 
And then there's other times 

662
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:53,680
where you'll go, oh mate, that 
was a disaster and I'll go. 

663
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:57,200
Actually, it was alright. 
So it's hard to tell Connell, 

664
00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:01,640
but I do have million bad gig 
stories like we all do, because 

665
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,520
you remember the worst ones 
instead of the good ones. 

666
00:39:03,720 --> 00:39:06,320
But you kind of remember them in
an affectionate way because 

667
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:09,960
usually, like, you were there 
with comedian friends and like 

668
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:11,960
they've gone through it too. 
They had a bad one maybe. 

669
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:13,320
So you're like, fuck, remember 
that time? 

670
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:17,120
Remember that time we drove to 
Cushion Doll and I just made 

671
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:18,840
that up? 
I don't. 

672
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:20,720
I have gigging Cushion Doll and 
it was actually really good. 

673
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:26,000
But yeah, Jamie Gordon says if 
you had to go into self 

674
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:29,000
isolation 14 days but watch the 
same movie constantly for the 

675
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:30,760
entire time, what would you 
choose? 

676
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:36,760
Well, I kind of am in self 
isolation a bit, but if I had 

677
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,800
to, I don't. 
I don't watch films as much as I

678
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,040
used to. 
I prefer a series. 

679
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:44,160
Like I'm aware I was talking 
about Love is Blind there before

680
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:48,200
I had to take a break from the 
podcast to reset the camera and 

681
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,920
then I stopped talking about it.
I'll talk about it properly next

682
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,640
week because people probably 
want to get spoiler alerts. 

683
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:57,400
But if I had to watch one film 
over and over again, I'd 

684
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,680
probably go for Step Brothers 
because Step Brothers is kind of

685
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:02,920
always funny to me. 
And it's a good length of film, 

686
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:06,280
you know, because you don't want
to watch a short one because 

687
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:11,920
then you're like, it's over. 
But a longer 1, you can sort of 

688
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,680
ease into it. 
Peter Walker says it feels like 

689
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:18,360
the zombie apocalypse is coming.
Name one essential item on your 

690
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,920
prepper shopping list. 
Definitely Poppers. 

691
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:24,680
Definitely poppers. 
I've been running about like a 

692
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:26,400
lunatic trying to panic by 
poppers. 

693
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:28,960
No, in all seriousness, almond 
butter. 

694
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:34,800
Almond butter, that would that 
would probably be the number one

695
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:38,320
thing because it's what I have 
in my porridge in the morning 

696
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:39,880
and that sets me up for a good 
day. 

697
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,480
And if I can't get it, I'm 
ratty. 

698
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:47,160
Now my wife's like, come on, 
let's go for a walk today. 

699
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:56,080
Now where's my almond butter? 
So yeah, probably that Lori says

700
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:58,440
can you get coronavirus more 
than once? 

701
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:00,840
Hey, don't ask me. 
You know who'd be better to ask 

702
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:05,720
the NHS? 
Ask a doctor, man, because I 

703
00:41:05,720 --> 00:41:07,800
appreciate you coming to me for 
medical advice. 

704
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:11,240
But I'm probably like the, I'd 
probably be like the three 

705
00:41:11,240 --> 00:41:13,280
thousandth guy. 
You should ask in Northern 

706
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:17,280
Ireland, roughly. 
So yeah, don't, don't ask me. 

707
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:18,200
Imagine. 
I imagine. 

708
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:21,160
I just did start dispensing 
health advice now. 

709
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:24,000
The best way to do it to not get
coronavirus is if you cut a 

710
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:28,320
potato in half and rub it under 
your armpits and then fry the 

711
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:34,360
potato and eat it and then take 
the other half and take the 

712
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:37,880
other half and bury it in the 
Giant's Causeway. 

713
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,480
You'll be sweet. 
Kieran Fleming. 

714
00:41:41,240 --> 00:41:43,600
What should the punishment be 
for people who post pictures of 

715
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:45,520
Corona on social media for 
bands? 

716
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:51,600
Oh clock, people are trying, you
know, so if someone does that 

717
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:54,000
and he's like here, won't affect
me lol. 

718
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,040
And he's a bottle of Corona and 
it's in drinking it with a wee 

719
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:59,400
lime in it. 
That's OK, that's OK because 

720
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,600
we're in this time now where 
hey, we're all in this shit 

721
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:04,200
together. 
So let's not give out of people 

722
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:06,600
when they're just trying to have
a laugh, even though it's in no 

723
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:10,800
way funny. 
Roshan again, getting a roar in 

724
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,360
twice says that's not a certain 
name, by the way, Roshan getting

725
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,800
a roar in twice, It's it's just 
the second question in this 

726
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,880
thread and you only get one. 
But look, we're in a time where 

727
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:23,120
we're going to have to take more
than one question from people. 

728
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,200
She says. 
Will you tell us more about your

729
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:27,920
journey with Crohn's? 
I have colitis and I never hear 

730
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:29,280
people talking about it. 
Thanks. 

731
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:35,160
Yes, I will do that next week 
because I've got a load of 

732
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:39,480
questions to get through. 
And yeah, I'll, I'll try and 

733
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:44,680
remember to talk a bit about it 
next week because there are, I 

734
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,000
mean, there is kind of like a 
funny side to having Crohn's. 

735
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:50,080
Like Crohn's is kind of a 
serious condition, I guess. 

736
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,440
Again, more health advice from 
doctor here. 

737
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:57,880
But but like, yeah, I wrote in 
Edinburgh show about it and 

738
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,720
people laughed. 
So, you know, there are kind of 

739
00:43:00,720 --> 00:43:03,160
there is a funny side to it. 
Like I remember like loads of 

740
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,280
stuff in the hospital where I 
was like, oh, this is very 

741
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,720
funny. 
So we'll get through that. 

742
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:12,200
I have questions on Instagram 
too. 

743
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:16,800
Let me see. 
Let me see for the boys, for the

744
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,480
questions from the boys and 
girls here. 

745
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:27,120
Here we go. 
Yes, yes, Tamara Guy says. 

746
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:31,560
Did you hear about Tracy's dog? 
I don't know what you're talking

747
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:35,400
about, Wiggy. 
Dave says he's given me a 

748
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:37,240
million things to talk about. 
I'll pick one. 

749
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:40,720
Give us a bit of Soft Border 
Patrol chop. 

750
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:45,440
Yeah, Soft Border Patrol is on 
BBC iPlayer. 

751
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:48,880
It's the sitcom that I'm in. 
I mean, that's not it. 

752
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:50,360
That's not a fair description of
it. 

753
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:55,120
The sitcom that Shane Todd's in.
I mean, I'm probably the 8th 

754
00:43:55,960 --> 00:44:00,760
lead in it, maybe even, maybe 
even 9th, you know, but. 

755
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:05,040
But I enjoy doing it soft Border
Patrol, if you haven't seen it, 

756
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,200
is on BBC Northern Ireland. 
And it's about, it's like a 

757
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:12,400
mockumentary, like a fake 
documentary about a Border 

758
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,600
Patrol between North and South 
of Ireland. 

759
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:19,440
And yeah, it's in it. 
This is the third series. 

760
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,760
I started doing it last series. 
So I've been in for two series. 

761
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:28,120
And yeah, I I very much enjoy 
playing my character Lawrence 

762
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,000
Lail. 
Lawrence Lail. 

763
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:35,520
One thing I don't enjoy is 
somebody said why are you 

764
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:38,080
playing a gay character? 
Why are you making fun of a gay 

765
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:41,280
character? 
The thing about Lawrence Lyle is

766
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:45,120
that's other people's 
insecurities because Lawrence 

767
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:47,240
Lyle is a married father of 
eleven. 

768
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:50,480
That was my first. 
I mean, I don't, I don't even 

769
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:53,680
know if they've ever put that in
because sometimes like you do 

770
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:56,160
loads of stuff on this and. 
They can, you know. 

771
00:44:56,760 --> 00:45:01,160
I record for 13 hours or 
something for this and they use 

772
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:05,080
20 minutes of footage Max, 
probably less. 

773
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:08,400
So there's loads of stuff you 
do, but if it doesn't tie into 

774
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:10,000
the storyline, obviously they 
can't use it. 

775
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:14,760
But I always start my bits every
year going, you know, talking 

776
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:17,280
about like his home situation, 
but I just don't think they have

777
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:21,160
time to use it. 
But my idea for the character 

778
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:24,240
Lawrence Lyle is he's just as 
under pressure father. 

779
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:29,800
And yes, he is camp, definitely.
But when I like designed the 

780
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:33,280
character because that was 
really cool because when they 

781
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:35,280
gave me a shot about doing soap 
control, they're like, you can 

782
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:40,280
name the character, you can pick
your outfit, you can, you know, 

783
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:42,360
almost design it from top to 
bottom. 

784
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:47,120
That's that's when I thought, 
yes, this character, Lawrence 

785
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:52,240
Ley, who kind of always talks 
about being selfless but then 

786
00:45:52,240 --> 00:45:53,560
wants people to think he's a 
hero. 

787
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:59,920
So yeah, I like doing that. 
And I would like to do, I would 

788
00:45:59,920 --> 00:46:02,760
like to do more of that 
character, I think because I, I 

789
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,080
also think as well, there's 
probably a lot of people who, 

790
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:08,000
you know, like my stuff, like 
follow my stuff, but maybe 

791
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,400
haven't seen soft Border Patrol 
yet or whatever. 

792
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:14,000
Because, you know, I guess less 
and less people, myself 

793
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:15,920
included, watch television 
nowadays. 

794
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:18,040
You know, when do we sit down 
and go right? 

795
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:19,440
This is on at this time every 
week. 

796
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:24,680
So it kind of is more kind of is
older people that say to me 

797
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:26,720
about soft Border Patrol. 
Like, I know, I know some people

798
00:46:26,720 --> 00:46:32,080
say it, but like my age and 
younger, but a lot of the times 

799
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:37,240
I'll be at like a, you know, a 
family wedding or a bar out in 

800
00:46:37,240 --> 00:46:39,120
the country and somebody will 
go. 

801
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:40,720
I like the old soft Border 
Patrol. 

802
00:46:40,720 --> 00:46:44,400
You do, you know, so it maybe 
hits like a different generation

803
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:47,760
that my stand up from my 
sketches wouldn't Mark. 

804
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:49,560
But yeah, you can check it out. 
It's on BBC iPlayer now. 

805
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:51,480
The last episode goes out this 
Friday night. 

806
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:55,600
Mark Haggerty says any more news
in Dave's Zoo calendar that he 

807
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:56,920
agreed to do in the live 
podcast. 

808
00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:00,760
I can't 1000% remember that. 
It was obviously me mugging him 

809
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,600
off. 
But no. 

810
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:06,760
But listen, when this 
coronavirus stuff is over, 

811
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:09,280
there's going to be loads of 
stuff we're going to get round 

812
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:11,400
to doing. 
And that's that's probably going

813
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:14,120
to be everyone's attitude. 
See, when this is over, when 

814
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:17,280
this lockdown is over, I'm 
finally going to get that tattoo

815
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:21,280
of Gerry Adams on the back. 
You know, that's not me saying 

816
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:22,800
that, but somebody will be 
saying that. 

817
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:30,000
Gerry Kelly Eun Mole says, did 
you did you ever dip chocolate 

818
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:34,800
biscuits in your tea? 
Look, we've talked about this in

819
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:37,200
the podcast before. 
I'm not going to spend a lot of 

820
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:39,560
time addressing it. 
I'm just going to say, yes, I've

821
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:42,440
done it before. 
But every St has a past and 

822
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:47,040
every Sinner has a future. 
Marcus Lynch, what are your 

823
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:49,600
Saint Patty's Day plans? 
Any chance of a bot appearance? 

824
00:47:49,720 --> 00:47:51,440
Hey, nobody should be going to 
the bot. 

825
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:54,440
And I don't just I don't, I 
don't just mean over some 

826
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:56,080
bodies, OK? 
I don't just mean because of 

827
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:58,840
this lockdown. 
I don't mean that hire me for 

828
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,640
corporate work, but for some 
paddies. 

829
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:07,400
Yesterday we went for a walk 
down the beach and I got myself 

830
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:09,840
a can of Guinness at the garage 
a couple of days ago, like a 

831
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:13,280
draft can and I had three steps 
out of it and then that was it. 

832
00:48:13,720 --> 00:48:17,960
So, you know, I did a bit of 
Dublin up at The Dubliners 

833
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:22,400
reunion concert, which is on 
YouTube, on TV, and I enjoyed 

834
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:24,000
that. 
Dylan goes class page, man. 

835
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:27,400
Not a podcast question, but I 
appreciate your brother Jude. 

836
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:28,760
What's your favourite Duncan 
Biscuit? 

837
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:32,000
Duncan Biscuit sounds like a 90s
white rapper. 

838
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:39,480
Duncan Biscuit. 
Look, I mean, that's the level 

839
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:42,080
of lockdown banter that we're 
going to be having. 

840
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:44,720
Duncan Biscuit, the white 
rapper. 

841
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:50,440
That's not a podcast question. 
That's a weird message from a 

842
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:54,400
guy. 
What? 

843
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:57,760
Oh, that was from June. 
That podcast question. 

844
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:01,480
Sorry I fucked that, guys. 
I've really fucked it. 

845
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:04,320
Yeah, we do have some more 
podcast questions. 

846
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:05,280
Hang on. 
Hang on. 

847
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:10,640
Now. 
People are really enjoying when 

848
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:14,120
I said that Dave Elliott was 
selling fake hand sanitizer and 

849
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:15,720
loads of people took that 
seriously. 

850
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:19,120
Olivia messages me just there 
now and goes, is there no 

851
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:20,760
podcast this week? 
Olivia? 

852
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:22,600
You wait until lunchtime, my 
friend. 

853
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:28,400
Give my mate's YouTube channel 
Shout No Pay me. 

854
00:49:31,240 --> 00:49:33,920
Someone says, did you start 
coronavirus just to avoid going 

855
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:36,360
to Larne? 
That would be rash. 

856
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:43,080
More podcasts? 
Yeah. 

857
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:46,400
Any chance of a weak DUP update 
video about the virus? 

858
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:50,600
Oh, for sure. 
The DUP man will definitely have

859
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:52,280
something to say about it. 
Don't you worry. 

860
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:56,520
Don't you worry about that, 
Ulster says. 

861
00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:59,440
Dota coronavirus. 
Yes, there will be something. 

862
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:04,080
Look, guys, here's my plan. 
You're going to get Dean 

863
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:07,080
Davidson videos, You're going to
get McGoldrick videos. 

864
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:09,400
You might get an MC Beaser 
freestyle. 

865
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:12,920
You're going to get Keith Cruz. 
You're going to get new 

866
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:15,480
characters. 
You're going to get one offs. 

867
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:18,880
You're going to get films. 
You know, I might make wee 

868
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:21,920
stupid films around the house 
because I'm going to be making 

869
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:25,840
my own fun because, hey, I ain't
earning any money. 

870
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:29,640
I'm not earning any money. 
I'm just messing about with my 

871
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:32,040
camera. 
And in a way, I think it's going

872
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:37,320
to help me rediscover my love of
doing sketches because I do love

873
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:39,320
doing sketches. 
But you know, you do other 

874
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:42,480
things and sometimes you find 
excuses not to do regular 

875
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:44,520
sketches. 
You know, I'm doing the radio 

876
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:48,040
show, you know, this or that. 
But I'm just going to get back 

877
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:51,440
into my wife's going to have to 
help me shoot some stuff. 

878
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:54,200
And that in a way is going to be
fun. 

879
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:58,480
Also at the minute we're 
continuing the radio show Me and

880
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:02,440
Dave, BBC Radio Ulster, Friday 
nights at 6:00. 

881
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:05,440
The plan is to continue to do 
that if it's safe to do so. 

882
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:10,880
So we're just doing it in full 
hazmat suits, me, Dave and Hugo 

883
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:12,720
Duncan. 
But no way. 

884
00:51:12,720 --> 00:51:16,040
Yeah, we are continuing that. 
So I'll post a link up to that 

885
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:21,440
when we get it. 
But it's a, it's kind of, it is 

886
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:23,760
scary in a way. 
Like that's, that's going to be 

887
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:30,320
my only form of income because I
am self-employed and there are 

888
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:34,240
people that have it a lot worse.
I totally get that, you know, 

889
00:51:34,240 --> 00:51:38,640
like, yes, we have, we have a 
baby on the way and stuff and 

890
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:41,920
we're trying to move house at 
the minute. 

891
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:47,680
But it sounds cheesy to say, but
if everybody has their health 

892
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:50,840
and everybody's doing OK, then 
that's that's the number one 

893
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:54,080
thing. 
And yeah, I'm just going to try 

894
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:58,280
and put out as many sketches, 
videos, podcasts as possible. 

895
00:51:58,720 --> 00:52:01,560
And if it gives you a bit of a 
laugh or whatever, because, hey,

896
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:03,240
it'll give me a laugh. 
Because I don't know if you know

897
00:52:03,240 --> 00:52:06,440
this, but I laugh aggressively 
at my own stuff. 

898
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:09,000
Like I just laughed at saying 
that. 

899
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:12,600
And that's not even a bit. 
So I'm going to get loads of 

900
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:14,240
stuff out. 
If there is things you want to 

901
00:52:14,240 --> 00:52:17,440
see, give me a shout. 
Not if it's weird, you know, 

902
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:19,640
don't be like, hear me, a 
longtime fan. 

903
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:24,960
I'm a grandfather of eight. 
My name's Henry and I would love

904
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:31,120
to see you. 
I would love to see you try and 

905
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:34,440
get your cock to touch your 
elbow. 

906
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:37,480
You know I won't do that. 
I mean, I might depends along 

907
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:44,280
this lockdown is going on for 
but there is there is a 

908
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:45,880
grandfather called Henry. 
Listen to this going. 

909
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:48,680
I actually never thought of 
that. 

910
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:51,600
But yeah, the podcast will keep 
rolling out. 

911
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:56,240
I'm going to try and get the 
video going because I want it to

912
00:52:56,240 --> 00:52:58,360
be business as usual. 
But bear with me this week 

913
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:01,240
because I'm an idiot. 
And there was also a time where 

914
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:04,800
I have this lamp and it kind of 
folds out like it has an arm. 

915
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:09,640
And I genuinely started taping a
podcast and I went, this will 

916
00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:11,400
work. 
And then it just didn't work. 

917
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:14,040
And I went, I need to stop 
modifying stuff because I'm not 

918
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:17,440
a builder on Robot Wars. 
I'm a self-employed comedian. 

919
00:53:18,720 --> 00:53:21,320
I'm going to wrap up this 
podcast and yeah, just allow 

920
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:24,440
this to be like a we makeshift 
podcast, just this one, and then

921
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:26,080
we're going to get properly back
at it. 

922
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:28,960
But as you can appreciate, it's 
just a bit of, it's a bit of a 

923
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:33,760
weird one this week, But yes, 
properly back at it. 

924
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:37,680
Later in the week I'll probably 
bring out a second podcast and 

925
00:53:37,720 --> 00:53:41,320
we've got a couple on Patreon, a
couple of Patreon podcasts 

926
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:43,800
already recorded a couple of 
weeks ago that we're going to 

927
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:46,160
roll out on there. 
So if you want to support the 

928
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:48,120
Patreon, you get those bonus 
podcasts. 

929
00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:53,480
You can get things like free 
tickets to the first live Tea 

930
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:57,080
with Me whenever we get that 
sorted later in the year, all 

931
00:53:57,080 --> 00:54:00,360
that kind of stuff. 
So go on patreon.com/tea with Me

932
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:06,600
pod, That's Tea with Me POD, 
patreon.com, and that's again, 

933
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:10,280
only if you can. 
I don't want anyone to be under 

934
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:13,000
pressure, you know, don't want 
anyone to be like, I'm going to 

935
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:14,840
have to steal from my granny 
here. 

936
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:17,240
So as fellow keeps doing 
podcasts, I will be doing the 

937
00:54:17,240 --> 00:54:20,200
podcast regardless. 
But if you can support it, that 

938
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:23,360
would be sweet. 
So yes, I'll, I'm also going to 

939
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:25,760
say. 
Just listen to everyone's 

940
00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:29,720
podcast. 
Just see what else is going out 

941
00:54:29,720 --> 00:54:33,240
there because so many comedians 
have podcasts, so many of my 

942
00:54:33,240 --> 00:54:35,800
friends. 
And maybe I'll tweet out like a 

943
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:38,800
big list of everyone's podcast 
because everyone's still trying 

944
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:41,520
to make stuff happen. 
But thank you very, very much 

945
00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:43,280
for listening. 
I appreciate it. 

946
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:46,440
Bear with me while I just get 
the grips with doing podcasts 

947
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:50,720
from home. 
And shout out to to producer Dan

948
00:54:50,720 --> 00:54:56,840
and Big Mike who are not here. 
That is a bad reflection on 

949
00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:58,640
their part. 
Yes, it's a lockdown. 

950
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:01,440
Yes, I've told them explicitly 
not to come here. 

951
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:03,680
But that's still very, very poor
in their part. 

952
00:55:04,240 --> 00:55:05,920
So they've got a lot to think 
about. 

953
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:10,520
Zippers. 
I enjoyed having you here and go

954
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:12,720
and wash your cup out, you dirty
pigs. 

955
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:14,040
And I'll see you later in the 
week. 

956
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:14,680
Bye.
