Prime Big Deal days is coming October 8th and 9th, which can
lead to involuntary deal squeals like the infamous deal on a new
massager squeal. Save big on prime Big Deal days
October 8th and 9th. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome
the episode 1 of Tea with Me. Here's the way it works.
I am Shane Todd, multi award-winning committee.
I've never won an award. Comedian, international
comedian. I'm off to do a gig and Mayo
tonight. So you know it's Mr Worldwide.
The way this works is I'm going to be with you for about an hour
or so and we're just going to have a tea.
You're going to have a tea with me in the next couple of months.
I'm going to have guests on. They will be having a tea with
me and you. And you might be, maybe you're a
new listener. Well, you will because it's
episode 1, but you might be going, do I need to drink tea
specifically to listen to this podcast?
I'll be honest, yes. You know, maybe you're like, oh,
can I just have a coffee instead?
Maybe I'll allow it, but I would prefer basically it's a way of
me getting people in the tea. So if you've always been a
coffee person or whatever, maybe you're a hipster and you're
like, man, I have to drink coffee, bro, there's no shame.
And just going back, do a good old mug of tea.
So what you do is you pour yourself a cup of tea and I want
people drinking tea and mugs. I'd like the finer the China,
the better, you know, I'd like, you know, I mean, it's like
Chris Brown said, it's not rain. I'm not dangerous.
When you're mine, I'll be generous.
You're like fine China. And that does not relate to what
I'm saying. But he said it or, or better
yet, he sang it. So I want people to bring out
fancy tea sets when they're at home.
If you're in a student house, listen to this.
I want you guys to stop, you know, shipping kettles.
I want you to stop stealing traffic cones and, you know,
showing the minorities. I don't want you to go to like
maybe a nice antique shop, club, anybody, your student loan and
get like a nice fine China said down quick, my producer down.
I don't even know this about you, but do I don't know the
answer to this question before I ask it.
Do you drink tea? You do drink tea.
How do you take your tea? Medium strength with a drop of
milk, no sugar. Medium strength with milk, no
sugar. It's like Northern Irish James
Bond. How would you like your
cocktail, Mr Bond? Who's saying about a cocktail?
Do you have any tea going here in a casino, Monte Carlo?
Yes, mate. Leave the bargain.
Will you give me an A Man United Cup?
I love that. For anyone who is curious about
because I feel like people know I like, I like my tea, people.
It's already kind of established, certainly,
certainly in these parts anyway. People know I like going to
cafes and I drink tea. And what some people might not
know is I take almond milk in my tea.
So strength wise, first of all, I like a strong, strong tea.
All right, I like a strong tea, but I have almond milk now and
that is not because I'm a pretentious wanker, although I
also I'm a pretentious wanker. And if you if you needed any
evidence of that, you won't be able to see this because you're
listening to the audio podcast. But I'm wearing a fleece that
cost me £80. So that's the that's the level
we're dealing with here. So I just on the side, no call
and get us text me that we're doing this gig in Mayo tonight.
And he just said, are you going to this boxing class tonight?
The coach was asking if the Belfast lads were coming and had
gum Shields. Hey, definitely not my thing,
all right? Not my thing whatsoever.
So no, we'll be doing that. But yeah, I have almond milk in
my tea. I have done so for maybe it's
about four years now because I've got that old Crohn's
disease. So dairy is not is not good for
me. So maybe we'll do like a proper
episode about that in the future.
But yeah, I take my tea pretty strong and I'm drinking out of a
very. How would you describe that?
Like a a copy and your granny's house, Yeah.
It's an old person's. Cup.
It's an old person's cup and yes, I took it from a fold.
I take it from a nursing home on the way here.
Yeah, it's an old cup. I like it because it's got like
a handle you can really get into.
It's got that little bit on the bottom that also it's almost
like got a built in saucer, you know?
So, So yeah, if you want to have a cup of tea in future, I'd like
you to have already before the podcast.
And then what you do is you sit down and you listen to this
podcast. It's going to come out every
Wednesday. And you maybe are thinking,
where do I listen to the podcast?
And in the bath, you can listen to it by Riverside.
You can listen to book a hotel room and take your uncle and the
two of you just use the tea making facilities in that hotel,
get into the two separate beds and and just listen to this
podcast. Some people might say, hey man,
is this just the shame tog cast, but you've added this tea
gimmick to it. Yes, yes, it is, and I'm OK with
that. I'm OK with that.
And yeah, we're going to have guests on, so it'll be a video
podcast as well, but we're just sort of like we're just sort of
going in Lube less for the 1st and that made sort of open his
eyes a lot there. We're going in little bliss for
the first episode and then and then we're going to have video
and, you know, like a wee bit of a wee bit of a set and it's
good. It's going to be lovely.
I feel like I'm going to bring T back because I ain't.
He's definitely on the way out. It's definitely on the way out.
And but hold on, let me take a little a little sip.
So I've been away. I've been away.
The way this podcast works, by the way, is we're just going to
ramble. We're just going to have a chat
because that's what you do with a nice cup of tea.
I mean, tea is the ultimate number one thing that just
brings people together. Like, I don't know if anyone's
seen this, but they're literally bringing the peace walls down in
Belfast this week. And I'm not making that up
there. They're lowering the peace
walls, which is great, but at the same time shows you that
there's still a divide when you're just lowering the peace
walls, when you're like, hey, these walls used to be 80 feet
and now they're 65. You know, still they are
dividing people based on a subcategory of religion.
And that is lame. And I want to say to anyone
who's like sectarian or whatever, you're lame.
And if you want me to say it to your face, I won't.
I will not say that. I'll just, I'll just start
begging on whatever side you're on, basically.
So, yeah, the peace walls have come down a bit.
And that's the thing that's I feel like that is something that
can be sorted over a cup of tea. You know, I feel like tea brings
people get when somebody dies, what's the first thing everybody
does? We'll get a drop of tea here.
It makes you, it makes you feel when you feel you're 11 + a wee
cup of tea. Now, I didn't feel my 11 plus.
By the way, I got AC1 in my 11 plus, which I was kind of, I
made the mistake of saying to one of my aunties, by the way,
the 11 plus, if you're one of my listeners in like the Democratic
Republic of Congo or Yemen or Leeds, the 11 plus is an exam
you had to take as a child to see how smart you are.
And they were not, they were not like fourth.
They were forthcoming about letting you know when you were
11 years old, are you smart or an idiot?
And we separated the week from the chaff.
And yeah, I got to see, I want to see one.
But I said to my auntie, like the week before the 11 plus, I
said, Andy Carroll, whenever I get an M11 Plus, will I be the
first one in the family to get an A?
And she's like, I hope you don't get an A in your 11 plus, which
is totally fair. And I didn't.
But what was I talking about? Oh, the peace walls coming down.
Oh, yeah. I mean, look, if I can assist
that in any way, I would like to be to the peace walls coming
down what David Hasselhoff was to the Berlin Wall phone.
I want to be there. I want to, I want to kick the
last wall down. I mean, I might just do it
anyway, you know, because I feel like let's throw people in the
deep end. Let's just remove the wall and
be like, you're his mate now. Because the wall is like the
wall is kind of a tourist thing as well.
You know, if you don't know, Belfast is divided by a load of
peace walls because Protestants and Jews don't don't get on.
So there, there's been a lot of scraps in the past, but I feel
like the peace walls now are just for the Busters, you know,
they're just for tourists to take photos and it's a way of
getting money in the Belfast. Like what tourists don't know is
at night the peace walls come up like a garage door.
You know, they, they're temporary basically.
They lift up and then like the hard lads from the Shankle and
hard lads from the Falls, every night they bring the peacefuls
up under the cover darkness. And then there's, there's no way
of saying this. They suck each other's Dicks
really. And that's something a lot of
people don't know, but they do do that, You know, there's
definitely glory walls, glory holes along the peace wall.
You just got to look. You just got to look carefully.
But yeah, I was in New York and I had a really, I had a really
nice time. I was over there doing some
gigs. I was doing some meetings.
The first half of my trip, I took my dad over for just a bit
of a tourist experience. He's never been to, he's never
been to New York before. And we went to see Jersey Boys
on Broadway. Now here's the thing, I love
Frankie Valley and The Four Seasons.
I love Jersey Boys. I listen to the Frankie Valley
in The Four Seasons, I listen to the Jersey Boys Broadway
recordings. I've seen the film, I've been to
see the play when it was on in the Opera House and it wasn't
really like when it comes to the Opera House in Belfast, it's not
really Jersey Boys. It's like Jersey lads, you know
what I mean? It's like, it's like 4 guys from
that Ulster who like vaguely know a few of the songs.
Yeah, Big dolls don't burn, you know, it's not the same.
They don't have the licence for the songs, but it's still kind
of good. Frankie Valli and the four
uncles, you know, it's not, it's not the same, but it's still
good. But on Broadway it was great.
I went, I went into that musical genuinely thinking because I, I
say I can't really sing, but at the same time, everyone knows
I'll probably have a bit, you know, I've got a tune.
And I went into that thinking I could be Frankie Valli.
Like that's, that's what I always thought.
I was like if I ever did a musical, I think I could do
Jersey Boys and I think I could probably play the role of
Frankie Valli. And then whenever he started
singing, the actor that played him on Broadway, I very quickly
realised I could not play Frankie Valli on Broadway.
I don't even know if I could have worked in their talk shop
because that guy could sing. I mean, going into it, this is
the level of Frankie Valli that I have, right?
And I think this is pretty good. Here we go.
So I went in with that and then he started doing it a wee bit
better and I was like, Nah, Broadway might not be the place
for me, but it was great. Broadway musicals are class.
I feel like I could really, I could really get into it.
And then so my dad was there for three days and then I stayed on
for four days to work. But then I thought, imagine I
just went to a Broadway musical every day.
And then I thought, hey, if I did that, people might start
asking questions, you know, if you're like just every day going
to Broadway. But but it was a it was a good
trip. Thanks to everyone who, you
know, give away thumbs up to my video DUP man in New York.
I just sort of was inspired to do that.
And I was like, what am I going to do to film it?
And then I was like, why don't I just be so dodgy and go to Best
Buy, which is like a big department shop, buy a GoPro and
a tripod, like a wee handheld tripod, film a video and then
return it. And that's exactly what I did.
And I don't know if that's illegal at NYPD, but I fucking
did it. And I give less of one fuck.
I felt I actually actually, honestly, like I was a wee bit
sexually aroused buying the GoPro because I was like, you
just don't even know what I'm going to do with this, you know,
and I think sometimes I like overdo it, like because that's
like a web, a web of lies. And I think I even said to the
guy, sell me it. I was like just getting this for
we're making a wee wee holiday video with the kids, You know, I
don't even have kids, but I just felt like that added something
to it for me. And I went round shooting that
video talking in the in the sort of DUP style.
And I'm not saying everyone in the DUP speaks like that, but
99% of them do, even the women. So so, yeah, shot that video,
edited it and edited it is something I've never been able
to say, but I sort of caught it in the Uber on the way to the
airport and then uploaded it when I was in the airport.
And look, people seem to like it, apart from hardline
Protestants who do not like it. A couple of people like I
remember you used to be funny. And then you're like, don't
worry, we'll do a shouldn't be in thing to, you know, I mean,
we'll do like a we'll do like a hidden camera prank and Jerry
Adams. It'll it'll be absolutely fine.
So yeah, New York was good. Did some shows, did some stand
up. It was great to see, kind of
great to see how how their stand up scene works and what what
works over there and what doesn't, because I like those
sort of perform when I'm on stage.
Like I get a wee bit animated, I can get a bit physical.
You know, I'll, I'll, I'll give a guy in the front row Hecky,
I'll do, I'll move about and I'll be animated.
But it definitely seemed like over there people were more laid
back, like comedians would perform with their hands in
their pockets. And then that's something that
I'd never really seen before. So I sort of changed my style a
wee bit when I was there. And I think, I think I'll just
keep trying them. Just interesting to see because
you kind of do the same gigs all the time here with the same
people and it's great. But at the same time, it's nice
to it's nice to see new faces, new comedians, see what people
are doing and then just copy it, you know, just just do that
basically. So no, it was good.
And and also this accent, it gets you so much out there.
Like people, people before you've said a joke are already
laughing, you know, which in a way is racist.
You know, it's racism in a way. But I'm, I'm happy enough to
sort of ride that. So I played, I was doing gigs in
the stand comedy club with some, some of my favourite comedians,
but like they wouldn't be that well known here.
And it was class. Ended up getting a new
conversation about Snow Patrol for around 4 hours and, and that
that was great with with the owner of the club who just, I
just really hit it off with. And that, you know, I feel like
on this trip I hit it off with a lot of people.
And that's weird for me because IA lot of the time think that
people do not like me. I find it hard when I go to like
meetings and stuff. I feel like I don't really hit
it off with people. But for some reason when I was
in New York, I felt like people. I mean, it's probably because I
was doing a lot of Frankie Valley singing when I walked in,
but I just, I don't know. I just think, I just think I met
some, I met some nice people. And you never know what can
happen as a result. So let's just say seeds may have
been planted. OK.
So we just, we might have to go back to America every couple of
months and keep watering. And I don't know what that
means. But look, it was a it was a good
trip trying to think that anything else funny happened to
me when I was away and oh, yeah. So we were doing a sign check
for this podcast me and time before we started recording.
And I always first sign check, people go tell me what you have
for breakfast. And I was mentioning in what I
have for breakfast. And a key component of my
breakfast is almond butter. It's essential to my breakfast.
And so I I went home the bar before I went away and bought
maybe like 10 sachets of almond butter.
And it's not until I took one India diner and the waiter
caught me opening one of my sachets and squeeze in and out
over on my oatmeal that I thought this is kind of like, in
a way perverted. And it's weird.
And there's something we've appeal about it.
And I don't know what I mean by that, but the waiter looked at
me like, why do you have your own little almond butters?
And I, I don't know, I just, I just, I need it.
I've got, I feel like I have an addiction to almond butter.
And there's worse things you could be addicted to, but but a
nice time. I just I just always need to
know that my breakfast is OK. I'm not one of these people who
can just go with it. You know, when you stay in like
a weird place you never been before.
Like I'm going to get a BNB tonight in County Mayo will call
and get us, which sounds like the start of a horror film.
But but I know for a fact that in the morning, I know it'll be
too old people that only the BNB because it always has and of the
last B and BI went to that a three legged dog.
So I thought it was kind of weird.
I mean it was it was nothing against dog.
I just fair play that though I was getting a boat.
But but I feel like this BNB they're going to have a lovely
cooked breakfast later in the morning.
Continental breakfast, people people go nuts for a con.
People from Northern Ireland go fucking nuts for a continental
breakfast because we don't get to go to, like, nice places.
And we seem to think a continental breakfast is as good
as it gets. Oh, why?
It's a continental breakfast to do apples, you know, broaden
your horizons. You know, it's just a
continental breakfast. It's usually just some pops and
orange juice. But I know that when I go here,
they're going to have a nice cooked breakfast set out and
they're going to tell me about the fact that these sausages are
sourced locally and it's, you know, Irish beef in their, you
know, Stew that they've made. And there's going to be like
organic cereals. And I know they're going to be a
lovely couple. And there's going to be a voice
in my head going, do you just have almond butter?
Can you leave? So that I can strangle out my
own little sachet of almond butter onto this porridge?
And I make no bones for like it's sort of I like get roasted
by other comedians about it. Like whenever we were done in
Galway for the Galway Comedy Festival, me and Mickey Bartlett
come and get us. We go into a burger place.
I said, hi, did you have any gluten free burger buns?
They said no. And I was like, right, guys,
I'll be back in a bit. And I ran to another restaurant.
I walked. This is how quickly I can lie.
I walked in and I said hello. Now, I should just say, do you
have a gluten free bulb? I could have or I could buy off
you. But I always feel the need, like
going in to buy the GoPro to add this element to it that it
doesn't need. I need a GoPro to document the
family trip. I wasn't on a family trip.
I walked into this burger place in Galway that I'd never been to
before and I said, hi, Yeah, I'm staying in an Airbnb down the
road with some Italian people. No, what was the need to specify
their nationality? I said.
They're, we're having like we're making burgers but there's no
buns and I'm celiac. Is there any way I could buy a
gluten free Bob? And the guy's like, yeah, sure.
Then he said, uh, are you over on some sort of exchange
programme? And I said yes and he gave me
the gluten free Bob. Now here's the fucked up thing.
He would, he would have given me it anyway if 1000% would have
given me it. Why did I need to add that
element to it? And, and here's another thing
when I, I promise this is true because this is what we do on
tea with me. We'll just be honest.
We have open conversations. We're curious, we're bi curious.
We're we're we're we're transsexual.
We're, we're whatever we need to be at that time.
And when I was bringing the GoPro back, no, I was under
pressure. I needed to get to the airport.
I should have walked in with the GoPro on receipt because I
repackaged it when I bought it. I put the we sticker back on to
it and I should have walked back in there and said, because they
don't give a fuck. I should have said hi, yeah.
Can I return this GoPro, please? What I said was, hello, can I
return this GoPro, please? I had to buy one for my boss,
but someone in the else offered someone in the office.
Bottom one. What I said oh, sorry, my boss
needed a GoPro, but like what boss needs a GoPro as I but
someone else in the office had gone out to buy him 1 so I'm
returning this and the guy just making conversation as he was
processing my thing went where do you work?
And I said farming. It was it's Manhattan.
No one in Manhattan is is farming.
It doesn't, it doesn't exist. I don't know why I need to feel
the need to always add this bed on, but I don't know.
There's just something, there's something that makes it
enjoyable. For me.
It's a bit like whenever I was taking some DVDs back to Extra
Vision in the 1920s and remember, Extra Vision and the
guy. This is Extra Vision in
Hollywood, right in the town I live in the town where we are
right now. I took them up to the counter,
but I had rented them under. No, I was renting DVDs, but I
didn't have an Extra Vision account at the time.
But my best mate Stevie did have.
He also lives in Hollywood. He's my kind of age.
At the time I was going up with Stevie's sister, so I was down
in their family house. I said I'll go and get some
DVDs, I'll come back down. I go into the Extra Vision shop
in my hometown, get up to the counter, put the two DVDs up,
give the guy the card. He looks at it.
He's like a couple of years older than me.
And he goes, oh, this Stevie Horn, right, Which is my
friend's name. I said yeah.
And he goes, I went to school with Stevie, and I said, all
right, I'm his brother. And he said no, no, It's.
So I was maybe like 19 at the time, 18 or so.
I don't know. So I was 18.
Stevie's brother Shay, at the time would have been.
I don't know, 12/13 he goes, No, bear in mind, at this point I
should. This guy doesn't own
extravision. This guy's getting nothing.
Or it's not like, it's not like the hot and fucking diamond
heist. No one's getting away.
It's not the northern bank robbery I'm renting Flubber to
and the naughty professor, you know.
But he said he looks at me and he goes, oh, it's shit.
I mean, he knows Stevie's brother's name.
And he goes, is she not like 12 or 13?
And I say no, it's me. And he knows it's not.
He knows I'm, he knows I borrowed my mates card.
Why wouldn't I just say to him, sorry mate, yeah, I'm just
borrowing Stevie's card. I go out with his sister.
But I had the lie about it. I just I think it's maybe like
the actor and me, the performer. Another example, Hollywood High
Street, about 1993, whenever I was a 5 year old man and the
Coca-Cola, it was Mayday. And if basically on the 1st of
May, there's a fun fact, but on the 1st of May, Hollywood has
this thing called Mayday and we go nuts for it.
I can't describe it. I don't know why we do it.
Were you aware of this time? Right.
I don't know what it is, but we do this like festival.
The whole High Street shuts down and there's stalls, there's
games, there's all kinds of stuff and people dance around
the Maypole like some sort of weird satanic ritual and then we
sacrifice a virgin. We don't but yeah there's like a
may queen and king and stuff. True weird but I don't know but
people love it. You can win goldfish and stuff,
you know what I mean? You threw darts of goldfish.
I don't know what the crack is but but Coca-Cola were giving
away free cans of coke. No it's not like it doesn't.
People don't go as mental for Mayday anymore.
Like the mid 90s was the peak. Nowadays it's like like Vetsy it
might give away 4 bottles of their bubble gum flavoured
drink. But back in the day, Coca-Cola
were on board and these like promo girls were given a, a can
of Coke to every like kid who came over.
Can I have a can of Coke? Everyone's queuing up.
It was great. And I joined the queue.
I got a can of Coke. And then I always want more of
something. So I'm like, I'm, I'm not
entitled, but I, I, I always want more kind of than somebody
else. I like to have things so like
if, if, if we went, if we left here today and they were given
out a free car, I would be already trying to figure out a
way where I could get 10 cars. Does that make sense?
I just, I, I, I, I get, I get kind of greedy as long as it's
not to the detriment of somebody else.
So I'm like, if they have loads of cans of Coke, I want them and
I don't want any other children to have them.
So I go up, I get my can of Coke, and I should be content
with my can of Coke. Thank you.
Take my can of Coke, drink it. I go back.
Hello. The girl who goes, oh, sorry,
it's one, it's one can of coke per child.
I go, oh, OK. Then I go change jumpers with my
friend Chris Jemison. And I go back with some sort of
like, I don't know, orange Lecoq sportif sweater on, but still my
face and head and I say hello and the girl goes, oh, sorry,
it's one kind of coke per child member.
I just said to you and I say I'm my brother.
No, no, there's fundamental flaws.
And what I said there I am my brother.
And what happened was she just looked at me and went, it's OK,
you can have another can of coke.
Like she must have thought there's a little boy who needs a
can of coke if he's willing to go to, if he doesn't have the 15
P, because that's how much coke was back then, needed to get a
can of coke. I will give him a free can of
coke. I think it comes from my
grandda. Like my grandda was a character.
You know, I remember here once. That's genuinely true.
My grandda like, owed money to like, a bank or something.
He'd taken a loan and he was getting the bus home from the
shipyard from work and this like guy from the bank was following
him to his house. And my grandda got off the bus
and he noticed this guy in a suit was like 20 pieces behind
him. So my grandda walked past his
own house and walked on into Hollywood for like a mile.
And the guy eventually caught up with him.
He's like, Mr Todd, you owe some money.
And my grandda said I'm his twin.
And the guy went OK and left. We're halfway through the
podcast. Let me just really quickly give
you a message from our sponsor. Tea with Me is sponsored by
Limelight Belfast, the most famous venue for live music and
club nights in the country. Coming up, they've got Sigala
example, Gab Gabrielle Upland. At first I thought that was just
Gabrielle from 90s fame who just she remember she used to have
like a like sort of like a comb over.
And I always used to hide one eye And people back in the day
were like, you know, that's because she's missing an eye.
I don't know what the crack was, but can you thank you, find out
whatever this message. Did the singer Gabrielle only
have one eye? Cheers.
But it's not it's Gabrielle Aplin Mag, by the way, that
wasn't in this sponsor message. I've just said that.

gig there. If you don't know JC Stewart, he
I think he just put a Lewis Capaldi on his tour.
He's a local singer-songwriter, very sexy friend, confidante,
artist. But he I think he's going to
come and do one of these. I've been chatting to him.
I said, will you come on the podcast?
He said, are you ever in London? I said I'm not mine, but next
time you're home from the podcast because he's from here
and he's really good and he has a song called The Wrong Ones
that I really like and sometimes I listen to it in my car.
But yeah, check out the limelight.
Thanks again for them to. Do not Don any word on
Gabrielle. She has two eyes.
Gabrielle has two eyes. So just to let everyone know,
Gabrielle who sang out of Reach, remember that or in the OR in
the style of Frankie Valley. You're welcome.
Welcome back to the second-half of tea with me.
That's the first half of episode 1 done.
I am excited. Done is visibly aroused and it's
and it's all good. And I'm sitting down in a second
cup of tea and there's a lot of people go a bit like maybe you
shouldn't. You can't go swimming an hour
after your dinner. You can't have a second cup of
tea within the space of half an hour.
I, I, I don't give a quote me on this right.
Quote me. Come closer to the podcast.
I don't give a fiddlers. I don't give a fiddlers.
All right, I'm doing as much tea as I want.
I'm in a day. I've definitely drunk 12 cups of
tea before. I'm not insane.
But that is just the way we do it.
And I started drinking tea, fun fact side fact, because my
granny used to leave me a bit of her tea back in the day.
And this was back in the day when your granny had 17 sugars
in her tea and it was cold and I would drink a bit of it.
And it wasn't until I was about 12 I realised people have tea
hot and that only only added to it.
It only added to it. RIP my granny shout out on tea
with me which is what she always wanted.
We got we got some questions here.
I love it. First question, tea related,
which I like. Don't feel, don't feel the
questions have to be tea related, but if you want to make
them tea related, nobody's going to be mad at you.
Dez Bennett says how many sugars?
I started on 2. I think a lot of people do.
That's like entry level people are going to take two sugars
with their tea. Done.
Take sugar with tea. None exactly Bareback tea.
That's the best way to do it. I used to have two sugars on my
tea. Then I had one.
Then I took Tander ale, which was a wee tablet sweetener.
My dad was like, here, take a wee Chander Ale.
I take a wee Chander ale. And then it came out, I think in
the Daily Mail, people are like Chander ale, you know, gives you
brain cancer or I don't know what it is, but like it gives
you something basically, it's not good.
It's a sweetener. So no, I, I just don't have
sugar and I don't think I like the idea of sugar in tea.
And I don't even think you can drink it anymore.
But yeah, no sugars. I know people who still have
quite a lot like it's, it's, it's not socially acceptable
anymore. I feel like it's taboo when
someone says like, I give us 3 sugars, It's the same way as if
someone was like, I'm going to do blackface at Halloween.
You're like, fair enough. Whatever you're into is what
you're into. But I would advise you not to
because there will be repercussions from that.
In the case of blackface, you're going to be cancelled.
In the case of three sugars, your bloody teeth are going to
fall out. You clamp it.
So yeah, there's I'm, I'm a no sugar guy.
I don't really have sugar in general.
But yeah, no sugar when it comes to I'm a purist.
I'm a purist. Adam McAvoy says best takeaway
and what day is best? Eat it.
I mean, it's a weird question. There's no best day to eat a
takeaway. I guess a lot of people will go
Friday or Saturday night for a takeaway.
I'm not really a takeaway guy. I do I like here's a thing.
I like it chippy and I have been in many fine dining experiences
as of late because my career is going well and I have been
thinking about the local chippy and going when you actually
balance these up good chips like a good fish shopper with salt
and vinegar and red sauce gives me more pleasure than this in
inverted commas tasting menu and I'm just going to throw this out
there. I went to a place in Belfast
that rhymes with the Cuddlers Club.
My also the Cuddlers Club probably is a place all right.
It's in the basement of Kremlin and this place is renowned for
being phenomenal. I think it has a Michelin star.
So clearly people love it. Clearly it's amazing.
But when I went there, you basically get like 6 courses,
six or seven courses and they're like small portions.
And I thought it was all extremely well cooked.
I love the experience of it. I was like, I've never done this
before, like wee portions. And again, there's part of me
it's like, give me a big massive portion because someone's going
to nick this, you know, I don't know.
I don't know if I like, I like seeing it and I like being part
of it and I like going out. And it was nice.
But at the same time, if you offered me a fish shopper in the
back of a Fiat Pinto every day of the week, every day of the
week. But the best take away from me,
So fun fact, the chippy near me in Baln, the Hinch does a
steamed fish supper. So you don't have the fish.
The fish isn't fried, it's not in butter.
It's just a nice white bit of cod that's steamed and chips.
Now Dan is looking at me in this studio like I'm Satan himself
because I get that that's going to offend a lot of people.
There'll be a lot of people outraged on Twitter here.
You felt like no meat. You need butter on the fish.
You need it. You know, council culture is
going to be after me, but I don't know if you need that
butter. And I just think I, I love
butter on fish. But at the same time, if you're
looking to just be a wee bit healthier, you get that steamed
fish comes in a bit of tinfoil. I like it.
And the best, the best day did
Saturday after football. I like a takeaway Saturday
night. Oh, I Saturday night.
I love people like that. Like in the chippy I go to which
I'm just going to throw it out there.
It's called Chips Ahoy. There you go.
Better free advertising, their sponsor, the podcast.
And whenever I was in last time some guy recognised me, I was
just in the queue, right? And it's very obvious why I'm
there. If I'm in a chippy queuing, I'm
not there to talk about, you know, the full works of Craig
David. I'm not there to buy a bicycle.
I'm very much waiting for something off their menu.
And this guy recognised me Zombie.
And he goes, all right, shame, big Lord, get the wee chippy are
you? And I said to him, yes, that's
what we're all doing here. And he goes, I'll be days.
Love characters like that. Also, when people, there's
nothing I like more than asking a question that you already know
the answer to, but someone answers it like they didn't know
that you knew the answer to it. Going through customs, right?
When people have bottles of water, how do they not know that
you can't take those through anymore?
That's just a thing. It amazes me that people like my
kind of age, who should know what travel is all about a bit,
don't go, Oh yeah, you can't have no liquids and they go no
liquids and everyone. And there's always some guy with
a fucking two litre of fruit scratch on his head, is there?
Can you not take like what's 3? No, why not 911?
But how does that work? I don't know.
But you're basically not allowed to bring that 10 a little
through. But there was this guy in JFK
kind of board his flight, going through customs in front of me
and he was genuinely like my age.
He had like a real traveller backpack.
He looked like he'd been places and he was over his girlfriend.
I swear to God he came back from the line.
So I may be like 20 people back in the customs line.
He walks back to the bins shaking his head with I swear to
God, 8 bottles of water. Like not a bottle of water,
several unopened bottles of water that he had bought for the
airport. No I see his logic in a way
because they double the price of everything at the airport.
But there was 8 bottles and he looked at me because I was
looking at him. I look at people like I was
looking at him the whole time, just trying to get an exponent,
like with my head slightly tilted, trying to get in an
understanding of what his thought process was.
And he was unloading this fucking reservoir into the
airport bin. And I locked eye contact with
him in the hope that he would look at me so I could ask him
one question. And I swear to God, he turned
around. He was shaking his head.
I locked eyes on him because I was queuing near the bin.
And I swear to God he looked at me and he shook his head and he
and he and he puffed out. And I said, that's a lot of
water. And he went, yeah, I'm not
allowed to bring it through. And I said, what were you trying
to bring it all through for? And he said to drink it.
Oh. And I said, all right, cheers.
You know, what was what did he think?
I thought he might be bringing through for here just in case
the, the, the windscreen is frosted and then maybe he could
pour it over and then the, the pilot could do his windscreen
wipers. Absolutely.
Beyond mental. Beyond mental.
But yeah, to answer your question, Saturday night's the
best night for a chippy. Sometimes a Friday's OK.
You know, you finish work, you know, on your way home, a chip,
you can't really go wrong. I used to.
I used to, I used to be in the Chinese back in the day for the
coronavirus. No, I don't mean that, but I
think, I don't know, I'm worried about MSG and I don't know what
it is, but people are like here, they put MSG in that and I don't
know what it is, but I just think let's not have it.
I don't know. But yeah, I used to get always
used to get like salt and chilli chicken, sweet and sour chicken,
honey chilli chicken. But hey, it's all the same. 99%
of dishes that you get from our local Chinese restaurants are
just the same sauce. It's sugar sauce and, and meat,
you know, and then I, and then I found out that in China, they
don't need any of that stuff. They don't need any of that.
All their stuff for like pickled, salted, dry, you know,
like they're you, they, they, they're not doing honey chilly
chicken over there. And half and half people are
acting like they, they could go over to China and, and just
continue their diet. They don't do half and half all
right, going to do it like a nice Chinese restaurant, you
know, in the middle of a Chinese city, which I don't know any,
but people imagine they're going to go all right, mate, can I get
chicken balls on a on a Curry, half and half on a bottle on a
bottle of Tiger. They they're not going to know
what you're saying. Jamie Gordon says.
What role do you think you'd be best suited for in a
paramilitary organisation? Great question.
And masseuse. I don't know if they have a
masseuse, but yeah, I, I don't think I'd be out on the front
line because also I've got a, I've got a memorable face.
So even if, like even if I wasn't me, I would still have
this face. And I think a lot of, and I
don't, I don't want to get in. I don't want to get in trouble
here, right? I don't want to offend any
paramilitary guys, but but someone has to say this, right?
A lot, and I'm only basing this on what I see in the Sunday
worldness, Sunday life, the pictures.
A lot of guys in paramilitaries in Northern Ireland are staying.
There's like a lot of them are rotten fish face wise and and
morals wise, you know, and like you get the odd complete cutie,
like hello, does anyone remember Andre Shir Grey?
Oh shit, Oh, that guy. Everyone, everyone was like
well, in them for a while. I don't know.
I don't know what his date was, but I just remember they were
like he's like half Egyptian. Let me see what this guy's all
about. Flick the page 15 of the Sunday
World. I was like, uh oh, Boner, but
you know. Sorry, no, no, no, I just I know
I'm just saying he he was very I'm just saying I'm making a
political point that most of the guys in paramilitaries bargain
munters. But there is the odd, very odd
guy who you're like, hey, I don't agree with what he's
doing, But at the same time, you know, let's let's have some more
pics of them in this paper. And hey, calendar special next
week. Let's get let's get let's get
the the paramilitary babes calendar funded and can we
please give the money to peace projects?
That's all I'm saying. I'm floating that out there.
Let's get some of the top guys. You know, it's just just a
balaclava over their doingers and let's just make that happen.
Let's get a cross community one where you get the top IRA, the
top sexy IRA guys, the top sexy UVF guys, and let's get them
naked together because that's what we want to see.
We want to see them together. Let's get them in a sauna and
let's let's just be open. Let's just be open to seeing
what happens. Hands across the divide, legs
across the divide, you know, let's just see what happens.
Yeah, I think I'd be best suited to like masseuse because.
Because I look like this like, yeah, like kind of cute or
whatever. I, if I was involved in like a
robbery, like stealing an ATM, people would remember my face.
They would go, the police would go, what do they, what do they
look like? And then some guy be like, oh, I
can't remember. Like they all kind of look the
same bar this one guy who looked like some sort of attractive
female Russian par athlete. You know, they'd be like, there
was this one guy and like, what the fuck?
What's I'm just looking for flaws and a skin, but I couldn't
find it. You know, the, the descriptions
wouldn't be the normal descriptions.
Oh my God, his hairline's so strong and he's like almost all
of you know, at least from here. So I feel like I couldn't be a
frontline guy. Maybe like an admin role or
like, yeah, masseuse. Maybe I could just do that.
Like be like, Oh my God, your, your hands must be so tense from
all the shooting and all. And then I would, I would hand
massage them with like some sort of ginger and lemon oil,
something like that. I don't know.
I would see what roles they had going and then I would, I would
probably do that. Or maybe I can make the tea
because one thing, all the paramilitaries have been coming
here. Hey, after a long night, if of
shooting people, they're probably like a mug of tea.
Dave Wiggins, how do you like your tea?
Milk first or bag first? Hey, man, always bag first.
Yeah, definitely bag first. You put the tea bag in, you put
the boiling water in. Then I'm 5050.
Sometimes I'll just dunk the tea bag like 15 times, wring it out
in the side, then put the milk in.
Or sometimes and then shaking his head here, I'll put the tea
bag in, the hot water in and then the milk in.
But it's hard to judge sometimes what you're going to have at the
end if you put the milk in at the start.
Because I like the idea of tea bag out.
I know how strong the tea is going to be.
And then I can stir the milk in and stop whenever I'm like,
bingo. But do you feel down like you
have some sort of Jedi Jedi sense of, you know, how much
milk to put in? Yeah.
And when you get it right with the milk, the.
Tea bag and the water it's well, yes, there's more glory in
getting. It right all at once because
even if I do it, I'm like, yeah, well, I kind of cheated in a way
because I, I took tea bag at first.
But then again, there's nothing more embarrassing than even if
you're in the house by yourself, the walk back to the fridge.
I need more milk or someone goes, is the car dead?
And you're like, no, let me go and get some more milk.
Like, none of us want to add more milk.
The barrack boy himself, Cormac McDermott, says red or brown
sauce on the fry. Also, what is in the fry Name
your bread. The people deserve to know.
So we're talking about food now as well.
That kind of does divide opinion in in this part of the world.
Red or brown sauce on a fry. And I'm going to shock a lot of
people. I want people to sit down.
I want you to put your tea on the coaster.
I want you to relax. But let me just say this, both
red and brown sauce, now I'm not a fucking mini.
I cannot mix them in some because if you mix red and brown
sauce, you get sent to hell and now you get BBQ sauce.
I am. I will go red sauce from my
sausages. And the sausages do not interact
with anything else on the plate. Everything else though, gets on
the same fork and goes in my mouth at the same time.
Like beans. Beans.
Yeah. So here's my fry, baked beans, 2
sausages, 2 bits of bacon. Then I don't I don't need eggs
anymore. It would have been like 2 fried
eggs. But now I will just have like I
guess I just really have to have gluten free toast noise.
So it's not as big a fry as it was, but it, it means I'm open
the boiled porridge beforehand or whatever, but the, the, the
baked beans, the sausage, the baked beans, the bacon and the
toast will have brown sauce on it and they'll be mixed
together, but the sausage will be eaten separately at
intermittent intervals. It's bold, no one's denying
that. But but you know, that's just,
that's just what I do. Hard to find a good fryer these
days. I think I just think in this day
and age, I just think those sort of cafes, those greasy spoon
cafes are kind of maybe Dianoid a bit.
You know, if you, if you want to meet someone for lunch, whatever
they want to go to the fancy places.
Avocado on toast. Avocado on toast.
Which I love like. I love all that kind of stuff,
but at the same time, once every other week, get me a big, get me
a big fry, get me a big fry love, will you?
I'm not. The only time you can say love
in 2020 is when you're doing a fry, even if it's a guy serving
you, you can definitely say I'll take the Full breakfast, love.
You know, it's it's almost rude if you don't.
And so yeah, I'm all about I'm all but what they call me two
sauce in in in the rap world anyway, Maddie Kane some
questions on Instagram. Maddie Kane says, well, my
subscription to the Shane podcast automatically subscribe
me to this new podcast. Now that down that's question
for you because I don't know the answer to that.
So on my song Cloud, do we just wipe the Shane podcast episodes
or do we keep them there and just add these in as as a new,
we'll keep them there and add to it.
We'll keep them there and add to it, but.
We rebrand the page, yes, yes. OK.
So your subscription stays where it is, wherever you're
subscribed. From wherever.
You're subscribed from Peru Magalbre Fritzel's basement.
It doesn't matter. Your subscription keeps going
and he says, I do realise that if it doesn't, then I won't
automatically be fed this podcast.
I may never hear this question answered, but it's a risk I'm
willing to take. Goodman, Marty, you're putting
your balls on the line there. And we've come up Trump's.
You're still going to be able to hear this.
OK. So I hope you're enjoying it,
man. Thanks for that.
Thanks for your concern. Lee Robinson says Lee Robinson
with three ends says player says any more previously coming up.
So previously was ATV show I did for BBC Northern Ireland and it
went out like four months ago maybe.
I don't know. I've I've no concept of time.
I'm like a little boy during the summer holidays in between
school. I don't know what day it is.
I don't know what month it is. I don't know.
I'm a real dad is, you know, so I, I don't, I don't know when
that went out, but that was basically where I went through
archive footage, old archive footage sort of took the piss
out of it a wee bit from the live audience.
And, and the, the answer to that question is I, I don't know.
I don't, I don't think so. I don't think they're going to
do any more of it. I would definitely like to.
It was fun or, or maybe I can look at a way of making it like
an online thing or something. But but it was definitely
enjoyable. Like we had the idea for it, Eh,
Mark, the producer of it was like, why don't we just do 1?
So we kind of, I think we almost like funded it ourselves and we
put on like a real rough version of it in the Accidental Theatre.
An audience came along, it was like a stand up gig.
It was like, this is great, this really works.
Then we sent that footage to the BBC, They said let's do an
episode of it, see how it goes. And I think the feedback I got
was that the viewing figures for it won't create, which I guess
is always going to be difficult if someone's never been on
before. The kind of launch it when
there's only one episode of it. But and it was like, yeah, there
wasn't any promo for it in terms of like TV ads or anything.
So it was hard to like, let people know it was on.
But I was really happy with it. Like, I think it was good.
I still get the odd sort of comment about it.
And people ask him what the crack is.
And the answer is I do not know. But I would like to do more of
it. And if it's not going to be with
BBC, maybe I can work out a way to do it some other some other
way. Matthew Myrnan says, does your
dad's mate have any updates on the MOT debacle?
Hope your new chariot is treating you well.
So, yeah, I don't know if people know that I came back from New
York. And out there, by the way, when
you look at the news, it's all about Trump's impeachment.
It's one of the biggest news stories of the of the decade,
probably. And like, people are like, is
the president going to be kicked out and the Senate are involved?
And I looked at like the top stories back home, there's going
to be no MOT for four months. So because the weightless is too
big. So if you have an MOT booked for
your car, don't be, don't be showing up and all.
I was the big number one story. And I don't know what the crack
with that is. I also don't know if you have a
car that needs an MOT. Do you just is it like, you're
sweet? Yeah, for four months.
You sweet for four. Months.
Mine is due on. Friday yours Oh.
So you're directly. Affected by this?
Oh, does it, does it give you a sense of fear or excitement that
you're driving about in a car that might not necessarily pass
safety? A mixture of both, yeah.
I mean if. You die.
I think your family could get like a sweet claim because
they'd be like, he wanted to take it to the MOT but use it.
It was their fuck up. Yeah, it was booked.
Oh, shit. I think people are just going to
get a lot of bangers, right, that they used to have, like
maybe an old Nova that kept in the garage and be like, fuck it,
let's just do Donuts in front of Stormont.
My new chariot is treatment. Well, yeah, guys, I got a new
car. No big deal.
Play. Yeah, cha ching say new car.
It had had several previous owners, but it's new to me
anyway. And what I sent you is the smell
of smoke inside it. I didn't know this, but it must
have been a smoker's car because anyone who's got in it went this
was definitely a smoker's car, but I I can't smell it.
Weird, but I guess smokers will know the smell of smoke better.
Well, they're probably more sensitive to it.
So I would say non-smokers would be more.
Sensitive maybe? Remember you used.
To go out drinking bars and used to come back smell and your
clothes smell the smoke and that's so weird.
That wasn't even that long ago. My new chariot is treat me well.
Drove down the Galway in it on Tuesday.
Had a nice time with Aaron Butler.
It's here's the thing, it's an older model, but it's backed out
and I will never tyre of saying the phrase specked out.
How's your new car mate? Specked out.
I could have got like, so my car's at 2011.
People are going mate, that's old.
Yes, mate, but at the same time it's specked out.
I could have got a 2015 one same price.
I looked at it. I phoned the guy up I went mate,
what's the spec situation here? He says no spec.
I said so it's not specked out. He goes Nah, probably couldn't
describe it as specked out. I went, all right, I'll take a
swerve on that bra called the original guy.
I said, mate, is that car there? Yep, still here.
It's still specked out. Still specked out.
All right, we're talking leather seats, we're talking sat NAV,
we're talking Bluetooth, we're talking tyres, we're talking
roof rail that I'm never going to use.
I don't think anyone here uses them.
But yeah, Matthew, it's treating me well.
I'm enjoying it. I hope you're not still driving.
That we fit that I've seen before because oh, I'm selling
the Passat. Matthew, buy the Passat off me.
Make me an offer I can refuse. I'm selling the Passat, but I'm
not selling it under my name because I'm not sure anything
wrong with it, but because I will definitely get weirdos
coming to my door. You know, I'm like, do you want
to see the car? No mail.
I just want to see your face and where you live.
OK, Glen, Joe says, will you be adding the podcast to your
Wikipedia? Looks like some wee monkeys have
been messing around on there. Yeah, my Wikipedia gets changed
a lot. And, you know, it's just one of
those things. I don't look at it.
I don't check it. The facts may be right, they may
be wrong. But at the same time, the world
keeps turning and the money keeps burning.
You know what I'm saying? Yeah.
I shouldn't freestyle. That is not a that is not a
question. That is a poster for tonight's
gig in Mayo. And there's a point me telling
you guys about it because by the time you listen to this, it will
already have happened. Giles Strut says good morning
she and intrigued by this new podcast of yours.
I expect to hear you slurp in your wee cup of tea throughout
the episode. My question is, what is your
favourite non touristy thing that in the Big Apple?
Never been to America myself and it's definitely on the bucket
list, but all the tourist heavy attractions are a bit off
putting. Many thanks.
Good luck with the new podcast. Big kiss.
Well, hey, catch this. Yeah, Don, have you been New
York? Yeah, good spot, isn't it?
It's a good spot. Some some city anyway.
So I wouldn't really like doing the touristy things because I
think it's good to see it and do it.
And there's nothing in New York that's time consuming because
pretty much everything you're going to see is in Manhattan or
just around it. So I would probably, if you
don't want to go and see all the tourist things, I'll probably
just do one big Buster, you know, like the red buses and
that way you're sort of seeing everything.
Plus, if there's an area you like the look of and jazz, I
think you'll like Greenwich Village.
And we will leave it at that, my man.
And because no, because of the arc, because of the
architecture, you know what I mean?
And you can buy, I guess like animal nitrate and all the masks
you like. And but yeah, literally.
But but yeah, I think doing that, that bus tour is cool
because you can go, ah, maybe I'll get off here, go see that.
It kind of is touristy, but the highline is the best thing I
did. It's a dis, it's beside Chelsea
Market. It's like a dish used railway
line above the city. So maybe like 40 feet above the
city and it's all converted into like a walkway with gardens up
alongside it. And it's brilliant because you
can like get a great aerial view of the city and it's nice.
It's just nice. I would do the Staten Island
Ferry because you get to see the Statue of Liberty.
You pass right in front of it, but don't go to the actual
Statue of Liberty because it's shit.
It is. It is shit like the actual
Statue of Liberty. Don't go to a Brooklyn Nets
game. I went to a Brooklyn Nets NBA
basketball game and it was dog shit.
I think they maybe just decided to play on the day.
I don't know if this was the team or just like a load of labs
that have the key to the Barclays Centre.
But it was good to see because I like NBA and it was like a food
like a league game. But there was I think that the
Barclays Centre holds 18,000. There was like 4000 people there
and it was a Monday afternoon because it was a holiday out
there. And if it wasn't for the DJ
playing like the pump it up music because like in between
songs, sometimes you just hear like like we squelch to the
court and it was just sad. Umm, so, so don't go and do
that. Umm, I got some more questions
here. Uh, OK, look, I've got a couple
more questions. I'm going to rifle rifle through
them. Marie Barnes says best or worst
joke. Umm, best joke?
Best or worst joke? Sometimes the worst jokes are
the best jokes. And I'm trying to think of OK,
here's here's a bad joke that tickles me every time I tell
someone that has never heard it. How did I get out of Iran?
Iraq. No, fuck it.
OK, that is a good joke told in a bad way.
So Don, let me ask you this. How did I get out of Iraq by the
way? I'm a professional stand up
taxi. Umm yeah, thought that is how to
get out of Iraq around. What's mad is I make my living
doing stand up. So come and see me.
Waterfront Hall, 3rd of October. Take itself fast.
Yeah, there you go. Fuck.
It's all fun and games. Sarah Jane Dorman, Hello there.
Which character do you enjoy doing the most, Dean Davidson,
Lawrence Lyle, MC Beazer or Mike McGoldrick?
And do you prefer stand up more than anything?
Yes, I prefer stand up more than anything.
It gives you that instant buzz. You get the adrenaline rush from
it. It's instant.
There's something really scary about it because it might not go
well, it might not work. So you have that element of
danger about it and you can't like redo it once it's done.
Whereas when I'm doing the character stuff, you can retake,
you can shoot something again. And but I love doing the
character stuff where I wouldn't do it.
My favourite character to do out of those people is Dean
Davidson's very fun Dean Davidson fun to do.
I should do more of that. I will in the near future.
Kara's Doke says. Why the change of podcast?
Why? Why this, Why the why the nosy
bitch? Why there's so many fucking
questions. I'm only joking, Charis or
Charis then the change of podcast is just because I felt
like the She and Todd cast is. I felt like talking with tea is
a way to just think about the listeners.
We're all having a cup of tea listening to it.
The She and Todd cast just felt too much a wee bit about me.
And like, if it only works, maybe if you've seen me before,
where is this? You don't need to know me to get
into the podcast. Kind of.
I don't know. I just, I just sometimes you got
to change it up. You know, whenever, whenever I
was younger, I used to have bucked teeth.
And then there came a point where I was like, let me see
what happens if I don't have bucked teeth and hey, way
better. Life is good.
So yeah, 'cause I just fancy changing it up, doing something
a bit new. And I think I like this David
may don't know if that's the ex ex Man United defender.
I don't think so says best or word this final question best or
worst interaction with a fan or someone who recognised you best
was in Dubai or no, not in Dubai in fuck.
What do you call the city beside Dubai you can drive to?
You've been in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, when I was in Abu Dhabi and the
do they have camels here? No, but the people of Abu Dhabi
do. And the I was in the mosque
doing a big tourist tour and I'm wearing like chic robes.
And I was walking about enjoying it.
And it was like 99% like Muslim people, like very few tourists
on that day. And I just heard across the
mosque, some guy went shin. Go ahead, big man.
That was the best interaction and also the worst because that
guy got, you know, banned from the mosque after that and I
never saw him again. And now the worst fan
interaction was a guy who wanted me to get on his shoulders for a
photo outside the ball one night.
And he was really drunk and I didn't want to and he acted like
I was the prick. So that was probably the worst
one. I hardly have any bad fan
interactions, but that was that was a bad one.
Guys, put your tea down. Go and go and have a biscuit.
Thanks very much for listening to episode 1 of Tea with Me.
