Hello, welcome to episode, 18 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,440 whatever episode it is totally irrelevant. 19 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,120 Doesn't matter what episode it is. 20 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:52,480 In the words of Metallica, nothing else matters bar this 21 00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:55,560 podcast on this, on this moment that we're all we're all 22 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,040 sharing.

Hope everybody is doing well. 24 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,520 I'll just fill you in on what's been going on with me. 25 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,760 We're going to talk about some silly stuff. 26 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,600 My kitchen top just ram by itself there like some sort of 27 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:20,240 poltergeist and now it's fine. And Yep, and that's a thing. 28 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,920 And, you know, normally I do this podcast with Aaron Butler. 29 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:29,280 He produces it, but he's in Florida because he is a Judas. 30 00:01:29,320 --> 00:01:36,520 And I hope he gets arrested. I hope he has a visa issue and 31 00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:39,720 he gets arrested. And they phone me, which is 32 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,760 weird, instead of his parents that they would phone me. 33 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,040 And they say, they say, Sir, we've got your friend Aaron 34 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,680 Butler here. You can bail him out for $5. 35 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,200 Is that OK? How would you like to make 36 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,240 payment? And I say, how would I like to 37 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,320 make payment? Not, you know, and I'll leave 38 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,440 them there for a while. Shout out, Darren, don't go on 39 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,440 any holidays without me. Yeah, we're going to talk about 40 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,640 some silly stuff. Then we've got listeners 41 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,960 questions at the end. If you ever want to get in touch 42 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,759 with the podcast. It's just Achy and Todd on 43 00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:12,120 Twitter. And, you know, you can, you can 44 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,680 do that. I get a lot of weird messages 45 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:21,920 this week. All right mate, I'm running the 46 00:02:21,920 --> 00:02:26,440 first line of messages I get on Facebook from people are always 47 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,840 made to know this is a long shot dot, dot, dot. 48 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,400 Whenever I open it I'm like, yeah, it is made to know this is 49 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:41,360 a long shot. But we are running a we're 50 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:47,000 running a battle of the bands on planet Saturn in the year 3009. 51 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,760 Is there any way you could do 7 hours of stand about it? 52 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,880 But it's all good? I've never said that wasn't my 53 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,480 voice there but it's all good, you know? 54 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,040 Weird. I've been on tour, I've been 55 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,320 enjoying it. Last week I was in Arma and 56 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:14,240 Derry and best thing about Derry going up to Derry is there is an 57 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:19,800 Ando's in Derry and I insist on getting one before any show I do 58 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,640 up there. And this time didn't pay for it. 59 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,160 Love that, absolutely love that. Shout out to the guys at the 60 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,640 Richmond Centre Nandos. I put my wallet out, they said 61 00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:32,520 told father your money's no good here. 62 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:37,600 And then they all kissed my ring, which is weird because it 63 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,920 wasn't wearing jewellery. But yeah, I appreciate that. 64 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,680 You know what, I've been, I've been really enjoying the shows. 65 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:51,000 If I had to pick a highlight, actually there's there's a few 66 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,200 you can't choose between. But all I'll say is I'm having 67 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,200 a, I'm having a good time this week. 68 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:04,200 I'm in Newcastle on Friday, the one in County Down and I am in 69 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,880 Antrim on Sunday. Now Antrim's sold out and the 70 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,600 reason Antrim isn't even on the Shine website, we're on my tour 71 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,680 dates or shine.net. But the reason it's not is 72 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,959 because we just put it up and then it just sold out. 73 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,839 It just sold out. I mean, the capacity of the 74 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,640 venue's three, you know, and I'm one of them. 75 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,480 And then I've got a support act and a tech guy. 76 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:30,440 So technically that no, I think it holds like 120 or 150 or 77 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,880 something, but it's sold out before we could list it on the 78 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,920 site. And I love that. 79 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,640 I absolutely love that. When they told me about that, I 80 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,880 said, guys, that is great. Great stuff, great stuff. 81 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:48,040 More of that Newcastle, you can see on their website, on the 82 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:53,600 Anchor Bar website that there is a very small amount of tickets 83 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,160 left for that. It tells you how many there's 84 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,080 left and I think it's like 10. So if you want to come to the 85 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,360 Anchor show in Newcastle this Friday, you can get tickets, 86 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,680 tickets for the shine.net or on the Anchor website. 87 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,080 I did the Empire last night. I actually headlined the Empire 88 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:10,400 for the first time ever last night. 89 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:20,000 I maybe done the Empire 15 times and maybe even more, not as much 90 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:29,000 recently, but I went down, I did a headline slot and then the 91 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,920 only thing that worries me is my insurance. 92 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,440 I just need to double check that my fuck, I've got a really big 93 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,280 bill today. I woke up with a big bill from 94 00:05:38,280 --> 00:05:40,960 doing the Empire last night, which I'm not going to let 95 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,800 affect me doing the podcast. We're still going to have a bit 96 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:48,840 of a laugh, but this is hanging over me and apparently they're 97 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,960 apparently they're going to try and make me pay out of my own 98 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:58,480 pocket to repair the roof of the empire. 99 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,960 Ah, I mean, I knew I knew it was a good show. 100 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,280 I felt like I had a good set. But then the promoter called me 101 00:06:06,280 --> 00:06:12,240 and said, Todd, father, listen, and you, you took the roof off 102 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:13,920 last night. It's it's blown away and the 103 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,120 roof is in Lurgan. It's washed up in a field in 104 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,360 Lurgan, the roof. And apparently it's just an 105 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:25,040 inconvenience for them, for the Empire because the the venues an 106 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,560 outdoor venue now. And it wasn't before I did my 107 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,600 set, but because I felt during my set, I felt like I could hear 108 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,560 fixtures and fittings on the roof start to loosen a bit. 109 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,400 And the the roof was wobbling. But apparently as soon as I 110 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,400 walked off stage, I cut straight into my Passat and drove home. 111 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,680 The roof just came off. So I, I, Paul, I apologise to 112 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,560 anybody who was at the show last night because after I left, I 113 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,800 heard it got really cold because the show was over and then it 114 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,800 was just raining in on people. So apologies. 115 00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:01,080 I just want to, this is tempting fate so bad for future shows, 116 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,480 but just get, I just want to give a shout at all future 117 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,920 venues, anyone who has me booked, if we can just really 118 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,440 make sure the roof is secured, It's it's going to save me a lot 119 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,120 of money because, look, I'm making it because I'm doing the 120 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:17,520 shows, you know, but I would prefer to spend my money on, you 121 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,760 know, sweets and almond milk as opposed to a Nando's, as opposed 122 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,760 to roofs. OK. 123 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:29,040 So, yeah, I got to apologise for, for last night. 124 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:34,360 But so I just drank some delicious tea there and 125 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,560 apologies if you heard me drinking and you went, eh, it's 126 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,160 gross. I'm, I'm aware we're going to 127 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,200 record them for 7 minutes and I haven't really said anything 128 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,440 yet. So let's just get straight into, 129 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,040 I do have stuff to plug, but let's just do that at the end. 130 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,400 That's not why we're here. And we'll kick off what we do 131 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,880 sometimes on telecast, which is this Day in History. 132 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,000 It's let me sneeze. Hold on. 133 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:57,960 I'm going to mute this though. Oh, what a good guy. 134 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,000 I could have sneezed, although maybe there is people who want 135 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,680 to hear me sneeze and I will never have that opportunity. 136 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,400 But I sneezed very loud. So I decided to meet the 137 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,280 podcast. So it's September the 11th, the 138 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,600 day I record this. We're going to see what happened 139 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,680 this Day in History. I mean, I know there's a pretty 140 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:21,760 big one, but let's just kick off with in the year 9, right? 141 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:28,880 The year 9 the battle of chudiburg forest ends the battle 142 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:33,039 of chudiburg forest Chudiburg forest definitely sounds like a 143 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,559 third division German football team that you will go on loan 144 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:42,280 to. Chudiborg forest battle. 145 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,200 OK, so let's find out what this was about. 146 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,840 It was described as a Varian disaster by Roman historians. 147 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,560 One of the one of the armies was led by Publius. 148 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,080 That's what that's probably why the battle started, because 149 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:04,760 people were just laughing at his name. 150 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:13,480 He is the Fade Emperor Publius. The alliance was led by 151 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,920 Arminius. Definitely feels like a 152 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,240 fragrance. What's it? 153 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,080 What was it about? You know what, at the end of the 154 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,080 day, who gives a fuck? Apologies to anybody that's 155 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:34,280 involved in 1185. Isaac the second Anglius Isaac 156 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,920 the second Anglius kills Stefanus, and this is his real 157 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,600 name, Stefanus Haggio Christopher Reitz. 158 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,160 What? That's all one word, Stefanus, 159 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:51,800 right? Stefanus Haggio Christopher 160 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,120 writes on. Definitely Googling this guy. 161 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,920 What a name. Stefanus, right? 162 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,280 He was the most powerful member of the Byzantine emperor. 163 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:11,200 Oh, the most Stefan had, Christopher writes, was was of 164 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:12,680 humble origin. Of course he was. 165 00:10:12,680 --> 00:10:13,720 His name is so hard to pronounce. 166 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,240 He wasn't getting anywhere in life. 167 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,000 OK, I don't care. Let me give me some juicy 1297, 168 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,240 the Battle of Sterling Bridge. Scottish rebel William Wallace 169 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,320 defeats the English. And the picture of him here that 170 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,480 they've used is really funny because he looks a wee bit camp 171 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,720 and a wee bit sassy. Like he's going, I just won the 172 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:45,160 battle right in 1649, the massacre of Dragada Dragada. 173 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,360 I didn't know. I did a show there in 1649. 174 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:54,640 Oh, killing it. Oliver Cromwell kills 3000 175 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,640 royalists, Sly. Well, I don't really know the 176 00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,640 context. Maybe it was and maybe it wasn't 177 00:11:00,680 --> 00:11:08,360 the massacre of Draheda. I don't think I've ever been in 178 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:12,520 Draheda, but I've definitely driven through it, Benjamin 179 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,560 Franklin 1773 wrote. There was, there was. 180 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:20,240 There never was a good war or bad peace fuck up. 181 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:32,120 In 1847, there was the first singing of Stephen Foster's 182 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:37,280 Susanna in Pittsburgh, right? I'm not slagging Stephen Foster 183 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,080 off, but I bet the song was shit because it was from the 1800s. 184 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:44,240 But I bet at the time he was popping off Stephen Foster 185 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:45,400 Susanna. Let's listen to a bit of it. 186 00:11:45,680 --> 00:11:46,880 By the way, I guarantee it was shit. 187 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:56,600 Right, this is it. The original song lyrics might 188 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,680 be offensive to listeners. Oh no, feel like it's old 189 00:11:59,680 --> 00:12:01,200 American song that's going to be racist. 190 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:04,600 Right? Here we go. 191 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:11,400 By the way, terrible beats so far, right? 192 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,160 It starts off, I came from Alabama with a banjo and manee. 193 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,720 Definitely at some point in this, something sly is happening 194 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,720 to black people for sure, because it doesn't say at the 195 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,040 start that's going to be offensive. 196 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,920 And then he doesn't start off by going came to Alabama with a 197 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,560 banjo and manee and then it doesn't get racist. 198 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,200 It rained all night the day I left. 199 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,000 Usually must have called a new venue after I'd done a set. 200 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,000 He hasn't got racist yet, Stephen Foster, but I think at 201 00:12:51,000 --> 00:13:01,800 some point he will. It's actually not that bad so 202 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:18,520 far, right? Oh, oh, right. 203 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,000 Yeah. The way it said it, this song, 204 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,440 the original lyrics in the song may be offensive to some 205 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:29,360 listeners. Hey, yeah, yeah. 206 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:37,760 Is Stephen Foster 2 Passions writing tunes and just being 207 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,880 very racist? And we stopped at a point there. 208 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:46,200 I mean, his if you glanced at his lyrics, if like Travis Scott 209 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,920 had had and that was the song from Now You Go, fair enough. 210 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:53,160 But like, this old white guy, Stephen Foster shouldn't have 211 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,640 been doing this. Oh no. 212 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,320 One of the first comments on YouTube. 213 00:13:57,680 --> 00:13:59,360 Nice. It's hard to find recordings of 214 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:00,960 this song that include the original lyric. 215 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:06,400 It's history. No need to censor it well. 395 216 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:15,280 likes. I'm just looking for great 217 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,640 comments. Someone says I don't necessarily 218 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,920 agree with all the lyrics but it was how people talk back then. 219 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,400 Hey black people didn't. Just to let you know. 220 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,160 You should never censor history though. 221 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:32,280 Don't like it, don't listen. Don't like it, don't listen. 222 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,040 Someone just writes under it. I think it's a great song really 223 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:43,160 on brackets on black. I just like. 224 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,680 I just like adults and brackets. I think it's a good song. 225 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:47,440 By the way. I'm black. 226 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,280 Some guy writes under it. You're beautiful too. 227 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,120 Oh, yeah, She's going to marry you, mate. 228 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,080 Someone says they're just here for the comments section. 229 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,280 Some guy says big thanks from Russia. 230 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,200 Great music night, Dad on pancake head. 231 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:11,080 Yeah, I mean, I feel like songs back then, we're probably saying 232 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:15,360 the N word as much as songs are now, you know, and there was a 233 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,680 big time in between when people were like, should we, should we 234 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,120 not? And then there was just a point 235 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,040 like a couple of years ago were like Migos got in the scene. 236 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,840 They were like, yeah, let's let's, let's go for it, let's 237 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:30,160 get it going. So yeah, that that's not going 238 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:35,320 to be a regular podcast feature where I start playing racist 239 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,520 songs. That's the first and last time 240 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,600 that we're going to do that. Hey, as I was setting this 241 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:45,160 podcast up, I saw a thing about the origin of names and I 242 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,640 thought, hey, that might be interesting to look back at that 243 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,640 and find out what I know about my name because all I know about 244 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,320 my name, I talked about this in the stand up show years ago. 245 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,800 The only thing about I know about my name is I was named 246 00:15:55,800 --> 00:16:00,240 after a cowboy film called Shane and it was from the 40s. 247 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:05,720 And I don't know anything about the history of my name, so I've 248 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:12,000 typed it in the A Name origin website and I'm discovering this 249 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,920 information for the first time with you guys. 250 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,040 An unusual name? Well first of all, fuck off 251 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,680 right? But an unusual name but still 252 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,320 often heard is the name Sheen. It's not that unusual. 253 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:24,760 Me and the guy from Westlife were called it. 254 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,440 It is primarily masculine, which is definitely my Twitter bio. 255 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:33,240 Primarily masculine and derives from the Irish and Hebrew 256 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:34,800 origin. Oh shit. 257 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,520 It is the anglicised version of the name Sean, which of course 258 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,760 is a cognate of John. I didn't even know that. 259 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,240 Rarely Shane is used as a feminine given name derived from 260 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,640 the Yiddish name Shana which means beautiful. 261 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:51,880 Some of this was not a shark guys. 262 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:53,840 Shane is usually used as a first name. 263 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,960 The meaning of Shane is God is gracious gift from God or God's 264 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:00,840 gracious gift. You know what? 265 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:05,839 My head is big enough and I don't need to know that my name 266 00:17:05,839 --> 00:17:09,359 means gift from God. I might just start that. 267 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,359 Putting that down on forms now. Gift from God, Todd. 268 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,960 Oh my God. Gift from God. 269 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,560 What's your name it? That's just gift from God, Todd. 270 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:20,800 Why's up? No, seriously, that's what it 271 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,880 means. The same meanings hold true for 272 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:25,800 Sean and John as well. I know a fuck out, don't worry 273 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,680 about that. The name's popularity. 274 00:17:27,839 --> 00:17:30,080 The popularity of Sheen has decreased over the years. 275 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,160 That's not even part of the article, by the way, that's just 276 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:33,360 me thinking about loud in my head. 277 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,200 The height of popularity being during the 1970s. 278 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,720 In 2015 it was ranked at 449th in popularity in England and 279 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,640 Wales. Oh no. 280 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,360 The name is used in mainly English speaking countries, but 281 00:17:52,360 --> 00:17:55,560 not as popular as it once was. Famous people with the name. 282 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,960 OK, I'll be on this. Shane Williams, the Welsh rugby 283 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,120 player.

He has gorgeous blue eyes and a 293 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,880 devilish smile that makes you wonder what he's thinking. 294 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,840 Though he will never tell you, he has the most random thoughts 295 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:42,440 and can make you laugh until you cry. 296 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,800 Shane is amazing. I mean, I didn't write that, but 297 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,520 I would have written that and I'm giving that a like in Urban 298 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:53,920 Dictionary there. So there you go. 299 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:58,240 I'm a gift from God. And it's true because it says it 300 00:18:58,240 --> 00:18:59,400 on the Internet. So that's great. 301 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,680 I have, I was going to do TripAdvisor and I know I've said 302 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,200 for the last couple of weeks, I'm going to do that because 303 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,840 people liked it when I just used to go through the reviews of 304 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:09,440 Apple Greens, random Apple greens. 305 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:14,400 But then I don't know if I've got time to do that because. 306 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,120 And I'll tell you about this really quick and I really hope 307 00:19:17,120 --> 00:19:20,120 it happens because I don't want to say it and then it doesn't 308 00:19:20,120 --> 00:19:29,000 happen because I hate that. But I, I wrote a sitcom pilot 309 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,360 with my friend Jack, who's based in LA, He's from there. 310 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,440 And we wrote the sitcom called Rabbits. 311 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:42,200 And we, we think it's really thought, think that it's really 312 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:46,240 good and got like good feedback from it, from people that would 313 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:53,040 be in that sort of world. Submitted it in the BBC, got 314 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:57,040 like a production company kind of go quite far down the road 315 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,760 with it, well further than I've had for something like this 316 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:03,200 before. And then sort of at the last 317 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:11,000 hurdle, a guy in BBC turned it down, which to be fair, they're 318 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,120 probably getting like hundreds of scripts a day. 319 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:19,480 So seething, but fine. And I was going to work on 320 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:24,760 something else, but then I had this chat with Dave Elliott 321 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:31,680 about a month ago, maybe less around the time I was doing the 322 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,680 the previously TV show, which is still BBC iPlayer, previously 323 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:38,880 Shane Tall, whatever. And Dave was like, see next. 324 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,040 Why don't you just do something that you're really passionate 325 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,240 about and you can just do on your own terms? 326 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,640 You know, just focus on that for a while while you're while 327 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,720 you're doing the tour, because I've a lot of free time when I'm 328 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:57,720 doing tour and me and Michael Foster, my good friend, long 329 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,680 term collaborator, Michael kind of shoots most of my video 330 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:05,680 stuff. We just decided that fuck it, 331 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,120 let's just let's just shoot this. 332 00:21:07,120 --> 00:21:11,320 Let's just make this a compilot, put it online, see what people 333 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,760 think of it. And if it goes down well, we'll 334 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,240 make more. Maybe we can get some, you know, 335 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,000 back and forth and it'll allow us to make more. 336 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,840 So next week we're just shooting a whole set compilot over 2 337 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:24,960 days. It's going to be two really 338 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:31,040 intense days and then I've got to like, we've got to meet today 339 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:35,040 basically to work out how we're going to cast it, what locations 340 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:39,320 we're going to use and all that and try and just make it as good 341 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,400 as possible. So I've already kind of cast a 342 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,320 couple of roles. I mean, I'm playing one of the 343 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:48,040 leads, but I think that's totally fine because I wrote it, 344 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:52,520 so I will be in it. And yes, the rule is a 65 year 345 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,880 old woman, but like Eddie Murphy in an early professor, I'm 346 00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:01,320 playing all the roles. No, yeah, I will be in it for 347 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,360 sure because I'm a gift from God. 348 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,240 But yeah, I'll try. I'll try and sort of document 349 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,080 that as we go and I'll keep you updated. 350 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,840 But it's kind of the biggest, the most ambitious thing that 351 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,760 I've taken on the the thing I've done by myself on the biggest 352 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,120 scale, I would say. So I'm really looking forward to 353 00:22:22,120 --> 00:22:23,400 doing that. We're shooting that over 2 days 354 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,840 next week and it's scary Becky's but hope it'll hope it'll turn 355 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,320 out well. Anyway, I don't know why I 356 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:35,720 started talking about that, but I've got some questions and one 357 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,880 comes from Alt DUP. Great. 358 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,000 Who says? Why does everybody who says I 359 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,640 won't tell you again go on and go on to tell you again? 360 00:22:46,120 --> 00:22:50,800 Yeah, yeah, absolutely. That's a big thing mums used to 361 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,800 do back in the day. I'll not tell yous again. 362 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,920 Stop running out of this house. Yeah, because there's no time in 363 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,880 between the statement that they won't tell you again and then 364 00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:01,760 them proceeding. They just tell you again. 365 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,600 Don't have me tell you again. And then they'll say the thing. 366 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:15,360 Talal Jumar, which is a fantastic, fantastic name. 367 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:20,080 Talal Jumar. Talal Jumar sounds like 368 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,600 somewhere I would really like the holiday. 369 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,920 Oh, darling, I'm just off to Talal Jumar. 370 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,560 Oh, can I come? No, it's invite only. 371 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:36,600 It's an island, Talal says. Will you ever do a sequel to the 372 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,640 American actors with Irish accents? 373 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,240 I want to know, did you catch him running through Castle Curt 374 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,640 Shopping Centre mall? Hashtag podcast. 375 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,360 Thanks for question man. Will I ever do a sequel? 376 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:52,760 Yes, absolutely. Because that, that was another 377 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:56,280 thing I was thinking about doing as like a bigger project kind of 378 00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:01,360 or a more focused thing was doing like a short film of that 379 00:24:01,360 --> 00:24:04,160 instead of like a 3-4 minute sketch or whatever it was 2 380 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,680 minute sketch. We're just going to do like 1/2 381 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,880 hour film of American actors with Irish accents. 382 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,200 I still might do that. I might do that after this. 383 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,600 I feel like I always want to have like a passion project on 384 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,960 the go. So I think once we get this out 385 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,040 of the way, then we'll do that again. 386 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,280 And it just gives us an excuse to do the bad accents. 387 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,640 So yeah, I'll do I put I put the old one on Instagram again there 388 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:32,400 because I think the first time we uploaded it, it just went out 389 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:38,000 on the BBC account. And so a lot of people who 390 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:42,600 follow my stuff or like my stuff probably didn't see it the first 391 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:43,960 time around or some people didn't. 392 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:50,920 So let me just check that got like 20,000 new views, which is 393 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:55,000 a lot for Instagram or it's a lot for me for Instagram and 394 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,040 like 2 1/2 thousand likes there, which is class. 395 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,320 It's cool whenever people like your stuff. 396 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:02,880 Well, it's good when people like yourself full stop. 397 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,840 But it's cool when people haven't seen something, you 398 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,400 know, they've seen a lot of your stuff and then they're like, 399 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:09,760 fuck, I'd actually never seen this. 400 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,480 So I think that that was cool to put that up again. 401 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,120 Jared Donnelly says crisp sandwich or sausage roll bop. 402 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:23,640 Oh, fuck. Sausage roll bops, for anybody 403 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:29,360 who don't know, are gastronomic delicacy of a Belfast bop, which 404 00:25:29,360 --> 00:25:32,280 is the sausage roll fired in the middle of it and red sauce. 405 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,240 And I used to, whenever I went to Belfast, met back in the day 406 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,640 whenever I went there. We used to get those amazing 407 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,480 bakeries there probably still is on Castle Street in Belfast. 408 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:49,440 And we used to get sausage roll bops like twice a week from this 409 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:54,480 bakery and they were incredible. So bad for you, but incredible. 410 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,240 So I'll go sausage roll bop. I do like a crisp sandwich, but 411 00:25:58,240 --> 00:25:59,960 there needs to be something else in there with it. 412 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,520 You know, I know a lot of people will just go like pickled on 413 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,560 your Monster Munch in between two bits of bread. 414 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,920 But what I like to do is like have some chicken and salad in 415 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,160 there and then fire the crisps in. 416 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,400 Like, I don't know if this is legal APSNI, but sometimes if I 417 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:19,000 get a sandwich and there's crisps on the side, like the the 418 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,200 chef is obviously going, hey, eat these separately. 419 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:25,720 I say fuck you and I'm this bullshit and I take the crisps 420 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,120 and I put them inside the sandwich. 421 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,080 Guzzi says. What colour is a myrrh? 422 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:39,120 What colour is a myrrh? A myrrh is no colour. 423 00:26:39,120 --> 00:26:43,680 It's a reflection. Fuck, do you know what? 424 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,640 You've actually melted my head there. 425 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,880 You've melted my head, Amy says. Would you smell Yokum Low's 426 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:52,080 fingers? Absolutely not. 427 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,440 For anybody who does know, Yokum Low is a Germany football 428 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,800 manager who has like, a wee quirky thing about him where he 429 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,880 picks his bum and smells it and eats it and picks his nose and 430 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,280 smells it and eats it and does all this really weird stuff 431 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,280 while he's on the sideline of football matches being watched 432 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:09,760 by millions and millions of people. 433 00:27:10,120 --> 00:27:12,920 And I think he did it in the EUR and it was really weird. 434 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,720 And then everyone was on camera. It was on camera and everybody's 435 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,920 talking about it. And then instead of him being 436 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:19,640 like, oh fuck, that's weird. Why am I doing that? 437 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,360 I should stop doing that instead of that. 438 00:27:21,360 --> 00:27:24,440 No, he just, he still does. And I just don't think you 439 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,440 should do it. I think someone should have a 440 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,000 word and go, look, I'm not being a Dick here. 441 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:30,960 You're going to know. But is there any way you could 442 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:35,560 stop picking your whole Because it's not great. 443 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,480 It's not a great look, But yeah, he does it. 444 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:43,000 He doesn't and he loves it. John Rogan says. 445 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,360 How do you describe a Curry sausage supper to someone not 446 00:27:46,360 --> 00:27:51,640 from Ireland? A Curry sausage supper. 447 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:53,880 I've never had a Curry sausage supper because I don't like 448 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,440 Curry. And there was a time whenever my 449 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:01,520 wife, who was then my girlfriend, whenever I was 450 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:05,040 having a family meal at her house and it was Curry and I 451 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,960 felt like I didn't have the confidence or the authority yet 452 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:10,600 to go. I didn't want to upset the apple 453 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:14,840 cart and go I actually don't like Curry because if you know 454 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:19,040 me you know the weirdest diet of all time and I can only eat 6 455 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:20,680 things, two of which are bananas right? 456 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:25,480 But what happened was I should have just said hey I don't 457 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,520 really like Curry but I ate it and it wasn't that bad. 458 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:33,600 But I haven't eaten Curry since. A Curry sausage supper is 459 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:41,400 usually 2 sausages ideally battered right with chips and 460 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,040 you've got in brackets in peas, which the last thing I saw in 461 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:49,960 brackets was I'm black Curry sausage Uber is 2 sausages, 462 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:54,680 chips and then Curry sauce. But I think what most people 463 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,920 would prefer is the Curry sauce in a wheat tub on the side so 464 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,520 you can put it on there on your terms because some people like 465 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:04,440 to dip into the tub and some people like to just pour the tub 466 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:10,040 over. Now, I personally, I, if I, if 467 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,360 the food was right for me, if it didn't have gluten and dairy, 468 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:20,760 I'm a little boy. I would have, I would have chips 469 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:24,040 and gravy no problem. But when you introduce a meat 470 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:28,520 and there's chips, I don't want a sauce with it like a gravy or 471 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,080 a Curry. Maybe on the side. 472 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,080 Yeah, fuck, I would love a gravy chip right now. 473 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,680 Gravy chips are so good. But for me, the gravy has to be 474 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:41,760 chip shop gravy, like a certain type of gravy, like everyone's 475 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,760 mom has made them a gravy chip and it's just like bestow. 476 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:48,600 And you're like, oh, fuck, well, this is ruined my week. 477 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:54,360 So it's it's got it. It's got to be precise is what 478 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:59,680 I'm saying. Maisie says what's your dream 479 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:05,480 Glastonbury lineup? Don't think I would go to 480 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:09,240 Glastonbury because it's mucky. It's mucky. 481 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,600 So I don't think I would like it because I don't like muck. 482 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:17,960 But my dream Glastonbury lineup would be The Rolling Stones 483 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,840 would headline. No, I would headline. 484 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:22,920 And that's good because Glastonbury is outdoor anyway, 485 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,040 so I wouldn't have to pay any roof repair bills. 486 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:35,760 So me and The Rolling Stones, me, The Rolling Stones Blazing 487 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:40,880 Squad, the guy Stephen Henderson, or he's called the 488 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,120 guy that sang the racist song from the 1800s. 489 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,120 And then we would just put him up on one after and be like, yo, 490 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:50,080 what the fuck you doing? You know, I'd probably have him 491 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:54,120 on and then Stormzy would come on after him and mug him off and 492 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:58,880 then just do a great set. Who else would be on? 493 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:03,280 Probably have like probably have some bands from here. 494 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:15,720 Snow Patrol 2 Door I would have.

Yeah, the shotgun shell blast 526 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:47,640 for anyone who hasn't seen that John Zhu, just just. 527 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:52,960 I've been born in Belfast. Oh, wait, that's not it. 528 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:09,239 That is, that is a monster tune. I don't know who John Zhu is. 529 00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:13,280 I don't know if he lives in Northern Ireland or whatever, 530 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:20,239 but I tried to get him to like, let us use that song for the 531 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,920 Belfast, the American acts, the American actors doing Belfast 532 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:25,360 character sketch or whatever it's called. 533 00:34:27,199 --> 00:34:29,440 I really wanted that song for the sort of it. 534 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:33,840 I was born in Belfast and maybe if we do a longer version of it, 535 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:35,239 I could speak to him. But doing that, I think I 536 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:39,199 messaged him on every social media channel and asked if we 537 00:34:39,199 --> 00:34:43,440 could if we could use the song. But he did not get back to me. 538 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:48,920 Naughty boy, Jandro naughty. But I get that as well because 539 00:34:49,159 --> 00:34:52,560 you know, he, he's like he's not doing comedy rap. 540 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:56,159 Like the man is spitting fire. Like I think he's done one extra 541 00:34:56,159 --> 00:35:00,040 fire in the booth and stuff. And I can understand why you 542 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:04,800 wouldn't want your song used in comedy videos because you might 543 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:09,880 think it's stupid. Also ask those guys kneecap to 544 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:15,720 do a song like a video and they said no so. 545 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:20,800 But again, I get it because they're they're actual rappers, 546 00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,920 you know what I mean? And they might think I was 547 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,080 dissing them, you know, because I'm a rapper as well. 548 00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:31,120 MC Beezer. But they do Irish language rap 549 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:40,680 and it's brilliant. It's very, very good. 550 00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,120 And their videos are good. And I wanted to do this thing 551 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,360 with them that I still might do, but just with somebody else. 552 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,360 And I think it'd be really funny. 553 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,200 But you know, I said guys respected. 554 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:56,080 I said Yep, because when someone says no to me, I go, OK, 555 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,400 alright, I speak English and I go Yep, I respect your decision. 556 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:04,960 But we'd be really funny and people enjoy it and Yep, but 557 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,000 there it is. I love Belfast rap type stuff. 558 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,880 I had some questions from, I forgot to do an Instagram shout 559 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:15,040 out, but I did have some Instagram questions from last 560 00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:19,400 week that I don't think I I got around to answering. 561 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:28,200 So hang on. Yeah, I know. 562 00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:33,360 I did answer that one. There's a message I sent to Van 563 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,680 Morrison asking him to do something. 564 00:36:36,240 --> 00:36:39,920 Has not got back to me. That's my that's my life, by the 565 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,280 way. That's that's my life. 566 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:48,800 He has not got back to me. It's not really like, yeah, 567 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:52,440 that's not a question. That's just some admin from 568 00:36:52,440 --> 00:37:05,880 someone Fuck, I can't find I'm so bad at juggling things like 569 00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:11,400 doing this podcast and in the admin of you know. 570 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,840 Oh, Brian Craig, I don't know if this was podcast question man, 571 00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:18,640 but Brian last week said what's happening with the brand 572 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:20,840 influencer these days. That was a great that was great 573 00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:22,840 banter. Yeah, that was a character dead 574 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:27,000 that I I will, I will do. Oh yeah, it was a podcast 575 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,720 question. I will do that again. 576 00:37:29,720 --> 00:37:32,760 I just have been busy, like whenever I'm getting ready to go 577 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:36,080 do a tour, that's the focus. And I don't do as much video 578 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:37,640 stuff. But now that I'm happy with the 579 00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:41,520 show, kind of 99%, I'm still working on one bit. 580 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,560 Then I'll tend to do loads of other stuff. 581 00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,200 So yeah, I will do something with that. 582 00:37:47,720 --> 00:37:50,360 Joseph McVeigh says talk about Boris Johnson's mad, her and 583 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,000 all. Yeah, yeah, obviously he does. 584 00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:57,120 I've mad here. I did a panel up in Derry a 585 00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:02,960 couple of days ago for about humour in Brexit and I got to be 586 00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:09,240 honest with you guys, I don't have a fucking clue about 587 00:38:09,240 --> 00:38:11,320 Brexit. I really don't. 588 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:15,160 And I'm not saying that. I'm not saying that in a way of 589 00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:16,960 like, man, I don't really know anything about it. 590 00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:18,800 But then you do know loads of stuff about it. 591 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,800 I really, really, really, really don't. 592 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,320 So I was really bad on that bottle, but it was nice to get a 593 00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:31,480 trip up there. Oh, there's a nice message about 594 00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:34,680 about the show I did in Portaferry. 595 00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:37,160 Somebody, somebody sent me a message. 596 00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,160 I'll not read out the name because in my podcast question 597 00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:40,480 they haven't asked for it to be broadcast. 598 00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:42,160 But somebody very nicely got in touch. 599 00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:43,760 Great night in Portaferry last night. 600 00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,640 So this from last week? Well, definitely back to see 601 00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:48,440 you. It's pity more people didn't go. 602 00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,440 Portaferry locals don't support anything in the town anymore. 603 00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:57,320 What's your support? I called Kinnear's name, so 604 00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,360 yeah. Oh, right. 605 00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,280 OK. So I did Portaferry on the tour 606 00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:09,240 last year, the Portico Theatre, and sold like maybe 1/3 of 607 00:39:09,240 --> 00:39:11,480 tickets, in fact, maybe even less. 608 00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:13,760 I think the venue holds 3:50. It's an old church. 609 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,640 And I didn't sell that many. And last year I just didn't. 610 00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:20,560 I think I started well on the show, but I just overall 611 00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:23,920 probably didn't have a great show and then this year I was 612 00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:26,320 like, let's go back. It's a good venue. 613 00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:30,800 It's really well run like on the technical set, like the guy 614 00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:34,240 Craig, I think in the tech in the tech desk knows what he's 615 00:39:34,240 --> 00:39:37,560 doing. We'll we'll go back and add a 616 00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:39,760 ball doing it this year is one of the best ones. 617 00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:43,440 Definitely. It's right up there and I think 618 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:47,360 we sold there was maybe I met up this room maybe like 150. 619 00:39:47,720 --> 00:39:52,520 So it was good bit up from last year, but it felt packed me. 620 00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:55,560 I mean, there was nobody in the balcony, which is the only thing 621 00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,480 that's tough about shows that have a balcony. 622 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,920 If you don't have people in the balcony, it can feel a wee bit 623 00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:04,760 disjointed or something. But but I, I loved, I love you. 624 00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,800 You actually don't need to apologise for more people not 625 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:12,080 coming out because I enjoyed it, you know, and the people who 626 00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:15,800 wanted to be there were there and we had a lovely time and 627 00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:17,520 I'll be back next year. That's what I just said in that 628 00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,040 message. I said, hey man, thanks a lot. 629 00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:21,400 He asked him my support was because he said he couldn't hear 630 00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,880 the person's name. I said, hey, man, Paddy Migaki. 631 00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:29,320 And also I'll be back next year. And that's what it is. 632 00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,480 And next year, I'm going to incorporate a trip to explore us 633 00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:34,520 in, you know, go and pet some starfish or Stingrays. 634 00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:38,160 RIP Steve Irwin. Guys, book us a wee bit shorter 635 00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,200 this week. I hope you forgive me for that. 636 00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,360 But we're cooking. We're trying to make things 637 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:44,040 happen. We're trying to serve up some 638 00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:46,720 dishes. You know what, I'm going to make 639 00:40:46,720 --> 00:40:49,720 a series of entrees in the hope that they'll be turning the new 640 00:40:49,720 --> 00:40:53,600 me in. So there you go. 641 00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,600 I did a podcast every Wednesday. I know it's out a bit later in 642 00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:59,640 the day today and there's no video version this week, but 643 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:01,440 there will be next time. And if you want to see any of 644 00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:05,000 the old videos of the podcast, she and told my YouTube channel 645 00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,960 it'll be there. Tickets are in shine.net for my 646 00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:09,960 last tour tickets. Quite a few have sold out. 647 00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,800 Newcastle's pretty much there for this Friday, Antrim sold out 648 00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,000 and Sunday and then next, next week. 649 00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:17,520 Let me tell you where I'm going to be. 650 00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,560 Where am I going to be next week? 651 00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:29,000 I will be in the parade next Friday on the parade in 652 00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:33,560 Ballymena. I think it's sold out. 653 00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:38,360 Let me check their website. I think it's sold out because we 654 00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:45,600 topped it for a better layout and I think the Brave might be 655 00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:49,600 sold out, but you could check if there's last tickets and you 656 00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:51,560 know, you know, I don't lie about this because I want 657 00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:53,360 everyone to come see the shows. There's no point in me going. 658 00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:55,400 It's sold out. And then there's actually 400 659 00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,440 tickets left. And then the next night after 660 00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:03,520 that, the 21st, I'm in Lisburn Island Arts Centre again. 661 00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:05,760 It's a big room this time. I did the small one last year, 662 00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:08,680 possibly the best show of the tour last year, moved into the 663 00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:12,480 big room and I can't wait for that. 664 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:14,360 It's one of those beautiful, beautiful venues. 665 00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:19,320 The night after Sunday 22nd, I'm in the Spirit store in Dundalk 666 00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:23,280 still, I need tickets for that. OK, going to be an intimate one 667 00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:26,640 alright, but we're still doing it and we're pushing ahead. 668 00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,200 And is my fan base growing in Dundalk? 669 00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,960 Absolutely not, but I'm still doing it. 670 00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:36,960 Tuesday the 24th I will be in Whelan's in Dublin, my 1 Dublin 671 00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:39,680 show, I'm bringing on Dave Elliott and Aaron Butler. 672 00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:42,320 There will be Nandos but like the villain there will be blood 673 00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:45,600 but more chicken in it. Thursday the 26th, Theatre at 674 00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:49,200 the Mill, Newton Abbey as well as Lisburn, my favourite show of 675 00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:51,320 the tour last year, Theatre at the Mill, Newton Abbey, you 676 00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,680 couldn't have a better venue, I can't wait for that one. 677 00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,160 Friday the 27th and in the Bank in Newry, there's still a good 678 00:42:57,160 --> 00:43:00,480 amount of tickets left for that. And then the Daddy, the 28th of 679 00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:04,880 this month, the Waterfront Hall, again, I think that sold out 680 00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:08,640 yesterday, but you can double check. 681 00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:12,080 The Waterfront Hall, my biggest ever show to date. 682 00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:14,640 I've got shows in October. But look, I'm not going to bore 683 00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:16,280 you with those if you're still listening, fair play to you 684 00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,200 because I would have turned off before I started plugging all 685 00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:20,840 these dates. And next week I'll hopefully be 686 00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,800 able to announce a tour of the West Coast of, Nope, that's a 687 00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:28,960 lie, the East Coast of America. I did 2 shows in New York, which 688 00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:32,960 humblingly, very humblingly, sold out in March this year and 689 00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:35,880 they were a blast. They were a real blast and I 690 00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:39,160 felt great doing those. But I'm going to do other shows 691 00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:42,840 on the East Coast. I'm thinking Philadelphia, 692 00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:46,920 Boston and Chicago. So if you live in any of those 693 00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:49,880 places, listen out or you know someone who does. 694 00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:51,840 Next week, I'll have dates and venues. 695 00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,000 Thank you very much for listening to the podcast. 696 00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:54,520 Bye.
