Here's the way it works. 6 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:38,080 I am Shane Todd, multi award-winning committee. 7 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,320 I've never won an award. Comedian, international 8 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,280 comedian. I'm off to do a gig and Mayo 9 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,800 tonight. So you know it's Mr Worldwide. 10 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,760 The way this works is I'm going to be with you for about an hour 11 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,560 or so and we're just going to have a tea. 12 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,840 You're going to have a tea with me in the next couple of months. 13 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,880 I'm going to have guests on. They will be having a tea with 14 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,160 me and you. And you might be, maybe you're a 15 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:05,440 new listener. Well, you will because it's 16 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:09,480 episode 1, but you might be going, do I need to drink tea 17 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,120 specifically to listen to this podcast? 18 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,840 I'll be honest, yes. You know, maybe you're like, oh, 19 00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:16,600 can I just have a coffee instead? 20 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,720 Maybe I'll allow it, but I would prefer basically it's a way of 21 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,080 me getting people in the tea. So if you've always been a 22 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,040 coffee person or whatever, maybe you're a hipster and you're 23 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:31,200 like, man, I have to drink coffee, bro, there's no shame. 24 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,240 And just going back, do a good old mug of tea. 25 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,760 So what you do is you pour yourself a cup of tea and I want 26 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,360 people drinking tea and mugs. I'd like the finer the China, 27 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,920 the better, you know, I'd like, you know, I mean, it's like 28 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,320 Chris Brown said, it's not rain. I'm not dangerous. 29 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,960 When you're mine, I'll be generous. 30 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:55,840 You're like fine China. And that does not relate to what 31 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,720 I'm saying. But he said it or, or better 32 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,720 yet, he sang it. So I want people to bring out 33 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,000 fancy tea sets when they're at home. 34 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,280 If you're in a student house, listen to this. 35 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,440 I want you guys to stop, you know, shipping kettles. 36 00:02:10,759 --> 00:02:13,920 I want you to stop stealing traffic cones and, you know, 37 00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:16,560 showing the minorities. I don't want you to go to like 38 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,960 maybe a nice antique shop, club, anybody, your student loan and 39 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:24,560 get like a nice fine China said down quick, my producer down. 40 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,120 I don't even know this about you, but do I don't know the 41 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,480 answer to this question before I ask it. 42 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,920 Do you drink tea? You do drink tea. 43 00:02:30,920 --> 00:02:34,760 How do you take your tea? Medium strength with a drop of 44 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,240 milk, no sugar. Medium strength with milk, no 45 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,480 sugar. It's like Northern Irish James 46 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:45,200 Bond. How would you like your 47 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,520 cocktail, Mr Bond? Who's saying about a cocktail? 48 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,520 Do you have any tea going here in a casino, Monte Carlo? 49 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,080 Yes, mate. Leave the bargain. 50 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,560 Will you give me an A Man United Cup? 51 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:59,080 I love that. For anyone who is curious about 52 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,880 because I feel like people know I like, I like my tea, people. 53 00:03:02,920 --> 00:03:06,000 It's already kind of established, certainly, 54 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,360 certainly in these parts anyway. People know I like going to 55 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,640 cafes and I drink tea. And what some people might not 56 00:03:13,640 --> 00:03:15,480 know is I take almond milk in my tea. 57 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:21,800 So strength wise, first of all, I like a strong, strong tea. 58 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:26,560 All right, I like a strong tea, but I have almond milk now and 59 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,960 that is not because I'm a pretentious wanker, although I 60 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,880 also I'm a pretentious wanker. And if you if you needed any 61 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,240 evidence of that, you won't be able to see this because you're 62 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,200 listening to the audio podcast. But I'm wearing a fleece that 63 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,440 cost me £80. So that's the that's the level 64 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,520 we're dealing with here. So I just on the side, no call 65 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,640 and get us text me that we're doing this gig in Mayo tonight. 66 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,760 And he just said, are you going to this boxing class tonight? 67 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,120 The coach was asking if the Belfast lads were coming and had 68 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,720 gum Shields. Hey, definitely not my thing, 69 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,200 all right? Not my thing whatsoever. 70 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,440 So no, we'll be doing that. But yeah, I have almond milk in 71 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,280 my tea. I have done so for maybe it's 72 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:11,240 about four years now because I've got that old Crohn's 73 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,440 disease. So dairy is not is not good for 74 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,959 me. So maybe we'll do like a proper 75 00:04:17,959 --> 00:04:19,839 episode about that in the future. 76 00:04:20,079 --> 00:04:23,440 But yeah, I take my tea pretty strong and I'm drinking out of a 77 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,640 very. How would you describe that? 78 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,600 Like a a copy and your granny's house, Yeah. 79 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:29,920 It's an old person's. Cup. 80 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,360 It's an old person's cup and yes, I took it from a fold. 81 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,120 I take it from a nursing home on the way here. 82 00:04:36,840 --> 00:04:39,320 Yeah, it's an old cup. I like it because it's got like 83 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,720 a handle you can really get into. 84 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,040 It's got that little bit on the bottom that also it's almost 85 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,920 like got a built in saucer, you know? 86 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,920 So, So yeah, if you want to have a cup of tea in future, I'd like 87 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,600 you to have already before the podcast. 88 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,440 And then what you do is you sit down and you listen to this 89 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:58,960 podcast. It's going to come out every 90 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,360 Wednesday. And you maybe are thinking, 91 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:02,920 where do I listen to the podcast? 92 00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:08,400 And in the bath, you can listen to it by Riverside. 93 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,800 You can listen to book a hotel room and take your uncle and the 94 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:18,920 two of you just use the tea making facilities in that hotel, 95 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,240 get into the two separate beds and and just listen to this 96 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,120 podcast. Some people might say, hey man, 97 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,880 is this just the shame tog cast, but you've added this tea 98 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:33,120 gimmick to it. Yes, yes, it is, and I'm OK with 99 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:34,280 that. I'm OK with that. 100 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,040 And yeah, we're going to have guests on, so it'll be a video 101 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:41,440 podcast as well, but we're just sort of like we're just sort of 102 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:46,240 going in Lube less for the 1st and that made sort of open his 103 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,120 eyes a lot there. We're going in little bliss for 104 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:53,280 the first episode and then and then we're going to have video 105 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,000 and, you know, like a wee bit of a wee bit of a set and it's 106 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:57,880 good. It's going to be lovely. 107 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,040 I feel like I'm going to bring T back because I ain't. 108 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,800 He's definitely on the way out. It's definitely on the way out. 109 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:07,920 And but hold on, let me take a little a little sip. 110 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:13,040 So I've been away. I've been away. 111 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,600 The way this podcast works, by the way, is we're just going to 112 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,200 ramble. We're just going to have a chat 113 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,680 because that's what you do with a nice cup of tea. 114 00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:22,960 I mean, tea is the ultimate number one thing that just 115 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,880 brings people together. Like, I don't know if anyone's 116 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,000 seen this, but they're literally bringing the peace walls down in 117 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,520 Belfast this week. And I'm not making that up 118 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,200 there. They're lowering the peace 119 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,920 walls, which is great, but at the same time shows you that 120 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,560 there's still a divide when you're just lowering the peace 121 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,600 walls, when you're like, hey, these walls used to be 80 feet 122 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,400 and now they're 65. You know, still they are 123 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,560 dividing people based on a subcategory of religion. 124 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,600 And that is lame. And I want to say to anyone 125 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,400 who's like sectarian or whatever, you're lame. 126 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,160 And if you want me to say it to your face, I won't. 127 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,480 I will not say that. I'll just, I'll just start 128 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,200 begging on whatever side you're on, basically. 129 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,120 So, yeah, the peace walls have come down a bit. 130 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,040 And that's the thing that's I feel like that is something that 131 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,520 can be sorted over a cup of tea. You know, I feel like tea brings 132 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,880 people get when somebody dies, what's the first thing everybody 133 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,120 does? We'll get a drop of tea here. 134 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:27,080 It makes you, it makes you feel when you feel you're 11 + a wee 135 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,120 cup of tea. Now, I didn't feel my 11 plus. 136 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:33,720 By the way, I got AC1 in my 11 plus, which I was kind of, I 137 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,040 made the mistake of saying to one of my aunties, by the way, 138 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,560 the 11 plus, if you're one of my listeners in like the Democratic 139 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:46,200 Republic of Congo or Yemen or Leeds, the 11 plus is an exam 140 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,080 you had to take as a child to see how smart you are. 141 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,480 And they were not, they were not like fourth. 142 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,480 They were forthcoming about letting you know when you were 143 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,160 11 years old, are you smart or an idiot? 144 00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,080 And we separated the week from the chaff. 145 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,520 And yeah, I got to see, I want to see one. 146 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,200 But I said to my auntie, like the week before the 11 plus, I 147 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:10,640 said, Andy Carroll, whenever I get an M11 Plus, will I be the 148 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,160 first one in the family to get an A? 149 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,640 And she's like, I hope you don't get an A in your 11 plus, which 150 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,040 is totally fair. And I didn't. 151 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:23,000 But what was I talking about? Oh, the peace walls coming down. 152 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,000 Oh, yeah. I mean, look, if I can assist 153 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,080 that in any way, I would like to be to the peace walls coming 154 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,760 down what David Hasselhoff was to the Berlin Wall phone. 155 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,640 I want to be there. I want to, I want to kick the 156 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,799 last wall down. I mean, I might just do it 157 00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:40,960 anyway, you know, because I feel like let's throw people in the 158 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,039 deep end. Let's just remove the wall and 159 00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:47,440 be like, you're his mate now. Because the wall is like the 160 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,040 wall is kind of a tourist thing as well. 161 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,880 You know, if you don't know, Belfast is divided by a load of 162 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:56,880 peace walls because Protestants and Jews don't don't get on. 163 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,720 So there, there's been a lot of scraps in the past, but I feel 164 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,160 like the peace walls now are just for the Busters, you know, 165 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,360 they're just for tourists to take photos and it's a way of 166 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,720 getting money in the Belfast. Like what tourists don't know is 167 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,120 at night the peace walls come up like a garage door. 168 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,360 You know, they, they're temporary basically. 169 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,920 They lift up and then like the hard lads from the Shankle and 170 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,440 hard lads from the Falls, every night they bring the peacefuls 171 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,040 up under the cover darkness. And then there's, there's no way 172 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,080 of saying this. They suck each other's Dicks 173 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:27,640 really. And that's something a lot of 174 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,080 people don't know, but they do do that, You know, there's 175 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,680 definitely glory walls, glory holes along the peace wall. 176 00:09:32,680 --> 00:09:34,760 You just got to look. You just got to look carefully. 177 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,400 But yeah, I was in New York and I had a really, I had a really 178 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,000 nice time. I was over there doing some 179 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,960 gigs. I was doing some meetings. 180 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:48,000 The first half of my trip, I took my dad over for just a bit 181 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,920 of a tourist experience. He's never been to, he's never 182 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,920 been to New York before. And we went to see Jersey Boys 183 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,880 on Broadway. Now here's the thing, I love 184 00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,440 Frankie Valley and The Four Seasons. 185 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,920 I love Jersey Boys. I listen to the Frankie Valley 186 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,520 in The Four Seasons, I listen to the Jersey Boys Broadway 187 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,360 recordings. I've seen the film, I've been to 188 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,080 see the play when it was on in the Opera House and it wasn't 189 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,760 really like when it comes to the Opera House in Belfast, it's not 190 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,560 really Jersey Boys. It's like Jersey lads, you know 191 00:10:17,560 --> 00:10:20,880 what I mean? It's like, it's like 4 guys from 192 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,040 that Ulster who like vaguely know a few of the songs. 193 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,920 Yeah, Big dolls don't burn, you know, it's not the same. 194 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,240 They don't have the licence for the songs, but it's still kind 195 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,160 of good. Frankie Valli and the four 196 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,760 uncles, you know, it's not, it's not the same, but it's still 197 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,880 good. But on Broadway it was great. 198 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:45,360 I went, I went into that musical genuinely thinking because I, I 199 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,720 say I can't really sing, but at the same time, everyone knows 200 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,760 I'll probably have a bit, you know, I've got a tune. 201 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:55,200 And I went into that thinking I could be Frankie Valli. 202 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:56,960 Like that's, that's what I always thought. 203 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,000 I was like if I ever did a musical, I think I could do 204 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,640 Jersey Boys and I think I could probably play the role of 205 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,000 Frankie Valli. And then whenever he started 206 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,760 singing, the actor that played him on Broadway, I very quickly 207 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,720 realised I could not play Frankie Valli on Broadway. 208 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,000 I don't even know if I could have worked in their talk shop 209 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,440 because that guy could sing. I mean, going into it, this is 210 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,600 the level of Frankie Valli that I have, right? 211 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,720 And I think this is pretty good. Here we go. 212 00:11:27,560 --> 00:11:30,680 So I went in with that and then he started doing it a wee bit 213 00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:34,480 better and I was like, Nah, Broadway might not be the place 214 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,600 for me, but it was great. Broadway musicals are class. 215 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,000 I feel like I could really, I could really get into it. 216 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,440 And then so my dad was there for three days and then I stayed on 217 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,440 for four days to work. But then I thought, imagine I 218 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,320 just went to a Broadway musical every day. 219 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,360 And then I thought, hey, if I did that, people might start 220 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,320 asking questions, you know, if you're like just every day going 221 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,640 to Broadway. But but it was a it was a good 222 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,920 trip. Thanks to everyone who, you 223 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,720 know, give away thumbs up to my video DUP man in New York. 224 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,120 I just sort of was inspired to do that. 225 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,960 And I was like, what am I going to do to film it? 226 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:18,840 And then I was like, why don't I just be so dodgy and go to Best 227 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,520 Buy, which is like a big department shop, buy a GoPro and 228 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,920 a tripod, like a wee handheld tripod, film a video and then 229 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,280 return it. And that's exactly what I did. 230 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:33,240 And I don't know if that's illegal at NYPD, but I fucking 231 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,640 did it. And I give less of one fuck. 232 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,600 I felt I actually actually, honestly, like I was a wee bit 233 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,560 sexually aroused buying the GoPro because I was like, you 234 00:12:45,560 --> 00:12:48,440 just don't even know what I'm going to do with this, you know, 235 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,480 and I think sometimes I like overdo it, like because that's 236 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,520 like a web, a web of lies. And I think I even said to the 237 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,600 guy, sell me it. I was like just getting this for 238 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,920 we're making a wee wee holiday video with the kids, You know, I 239 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,680 don't even have kids, but I just felt like that added something 240 00:13:04,680 --> 00:13:06,840 to it for me. And I went round shooting that 241 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,200 video talking in the in the sort of DUP style. 242 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,760 And I'm not saying everyone in the DUP speaks like that, but 243 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:17,920 99% of them do, even the women. So so, yeah, shot that video, 244 00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:22,840 edited it and edited it is something I've never been able 245 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:27,240 to say, but I sort of caught it in the Uber on the way to the 246 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,960 airport and then uploaded it when I was in the airport. 247 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,440 And look, people seem to like it, apart from hardline 248 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:37,680 Protestants who do not like it. A couple of people like I 249 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,760 remember you used to be funny. And then you're like, don't 250 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,080 worry, we'll do a shouldn't be in thing to, you know, I mean, 251 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,240 we'll do like a we'll do like a hidden camera prank and Jerry 252 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,360 Adams. It'll it'll be absolutely fine. 253 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,960 So yeah, New York was good. Did some shows, did some stand 254 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,280 up. It was great to see, kind of 255 00:13:55,280 --> 00:14:00,600 great to see how how their stand up scene works and what what 256 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,800 works over there and what doesn't, because I like those 257 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,640 sort of perform when I'm on stage. 258 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,800 Like I get a wee bit animated, I can get a bit physical. 259 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,480 You know, I'll, I'll, I'll give a guy in the front row Hecky, 260 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,360 I'll do, I'll move about and I'll be animated. 261 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:22,560 But it definitely seemed like over there people were more laid 262 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,040 back, like comedians would perform with their hands in 263 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,440 their pockets. And then that's something that 264 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,240 I'd never really seen before. So I sort of changed my style a 265 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:35,320 wee bit when I was there. And I think, I think I'll just 266 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,320 keep trying them. Just interesting to see because 267 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:42,240 you kind of do the same gigs all the time here with the same 268 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,480 people and it's great. But at the same time, it's nice 269 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:49,480 to it's nice to see new faces, new comedians, see what people 270 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,560 are doing and then just copy it, you know, just just do that 271 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,840 basically. So no, it was good. 272 00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:01,360 And and also this accent, it gets you so much out there. 273 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,840 Like people, people before you've said a joke are already 274 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,440 laughing, you know, which in a way is racist. 275 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,240 You know, it's racism in a way. But I'm, I'm happy enough to 276 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,720 sort of ride that. So I played, I was doing gigs in 277 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,200 the stand comedy club with some, some of my favourite comedians, 278 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,040 but like they wouldn't be that well known here. 279 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,040 And it was class. Ended up getting a new 280 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:28,760 conversation about Snow Patrol for around 4 hours and, and that 281 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,240 that was great with with the owner of the club who just, I 282 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,160 just really hit it off with. And that, you know, I feel like 283 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,640 on this trip I hit it off with a lot of people. 284 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:43,360 And that's weird for me because IA lot of the time think that 285 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:47,120 people do not like me. I find it hard when I go to like 286 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,720 meetings and stuff. I feel like I don't really hit 287 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,840 it off with people. But for some reason when I was 288 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,840 in New York, I felt like people. I mean, it's probably because I 289 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,120 was doing a lot of Frankie Valley singing when I walked in, 290 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:03,560 but I just, I don't know. I just think, I just think I met 291 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,520 some, I met some nice people. And you never know what can 292 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,760 happen as a result. So let's just say seeds may have 293 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,400 been planted. OK. 294 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,680 So we just, we might have to go back to America every couple of 295 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,880 months and keep watering. And I don't know what that 296 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,000 means. But look, it was a it was a good 297 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,160 trip trying to think that anything else funny happened to 298 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:29,840 me when I was away and oh, yeah. So we were doing a sign check 299 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,280 for this podcast me and time before we started recording. 300 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,960 And I always first sign check, people go tell me what you have 301 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,560 for breakfast. And I was mentioning in what I 302 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,360 have for breakfast. And a key component of my 303 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:46,520 breakfast is almond butter. It's essential to my breakfast. 304 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,640 And so I I went home the bar before I went away and bought 305 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,720 maybe like 10 sachets of almond butter. 306 00:16:55,320 --> 00:17:00,280 And it's not until I took one India diner and the waiter 307 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,960 caught me opening one of my sachets and squeeze in and out 308 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,240 over on my oatmeal that I thought this is kind of like, in 309 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,000 a way perverted. And it's weird. 310 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,599 And there's something we've appeal about it. 311 00:17:12,079 --> 00:17:14,920 And I don't know what I mean by that, but the waiter looked at 312 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,319 me like, why do you have your own little almond butters? 313 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,480 And I, I don't know, I just, I just, I need it. 314 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,800 I've got, I feel like I have an addiction to almond butter. 315 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:30,240 And there's worse things you could be addicted to, but but a 316 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,160 nice time. I just I just always need to 317 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,400 know that my breakfast is OK. I'm not one of these people who 318 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,160 can just go with it. You know, when you stay in like 319 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:39,480 a weird place you never been before. 320 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:43,760 Like I'm going to get a BNB tonight in County Mayo will call 321 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,960 and get us, which sounds like the start of a horror film. 322 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:53,560 But but I know for a fact that in the morning, I know it'll be 323 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:58,040 too old people that only the BNB because it always has and of the 324 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,280 last B and BI went to that a three legged dog. 325 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:02,280 So I thought it was kind of weird. 326 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,080 I mean it was it was nothing against dog. 327 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:08,920 I just fair play that though I was getting a boat. 328 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:13,680 But but I feel like this BNB they're going to have a lovely 329 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,320 cooked breakfast later in the morning. 330 00:18:15,360 --> 00:18:18,440 Continental breakfast, people people go nuts for a con. 331 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:22,320 People from Northern Ireland go fucking nuts for a continental 332 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:26,080 breakfast because we don't get to go to, like, nice places. 333 00:18:26,360 --> 00:18:30,440 And we seem to think a continental breakfast is as good 334 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,240 as it gets. Oh, why? 335 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:36,280 It's a continental breakfast to do apples, you know, broaden 336 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,600 your horizons. You know, it's just a 337 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:42,000 continental breakfast. It's usually just some pops and 338 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,600 orange juice. But I know that when I go here, 339 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,160 they're going to have a nice cooked breakfast set out and 340 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,840 they're going to tell me about the fact that these sausages are 341 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:54,280 sourced locally and it's, you know, Irish beef in their, you 342 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,320 know, Stew that they've made. And there's going to be like 343 00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,840 organic cereals. And I know they're going to be a 344 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,640 lovely couple. And there's going to be a voice 345 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,480 in my head going, do you just have almond butter? 346 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:11,200 Can you leave? So that I can strangle out my 347 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,880 own little sachet of almond butter onto this porridge? 348 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,440 And I make no bones for like it's sort of I like get roasted 349 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,120 by other comedians about it. Like whenever we were done in 350 00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:24,000 Galway for the Galway Comedy Festival, me and Mickey Bartlett 351 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,440 come and get us. We go into a burger place. 352 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,680 I said, hi, did you have any gluten free burger buns? 353 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,480 They said no. And I was like, right, guys, 354 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,720 I'll be back in a bit. And I ran to another restaurant. 355 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,680 I walked. This is how quickly I can lie. 356 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:42,720 I walked in and I said hello. Now, I should just say, do you 357 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,960 have a gluten free bulb? I could have or I could buy off 358 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,280 you. But I always feel the need, like 359 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,480 going in to buy the GoPro to add this element to it that it 360 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,520 doesn't need. I need a GoPro to document the 361 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,200 family trip. I wasn't on a family trip. 362 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,680 I walked into this burger place in Galway that I'd never been to 363 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:04,680 before and I said, hi, Yeah, I'm staying in an Airbnb down the 364 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:09,640 road with some Italian people. No, what was the need to specify 365 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,880 their nationality? I said. 366 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,800 They're, we're having like we're making burgers but there's no 367 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,360 buns and I'm celiac. Is there any way I could buy a 368 00:20:19,360 --> 00:20:22,160 gluten free Bob? And the guy's like, yeah, sure. 369 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,720 Then he said, uh, are you over on some sort of exchange 370 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:31,840 programme? And I said yes and he gave me 371 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,520 the gluten free Bob. Now here's the fucked up thing. 372 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,800 He would, he would have given me it anyway if 1000% would have 373 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,240 given me it. Why did I need to add that 374 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,320 element to it? And, and here's another thing 375 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,360 when I, I promise this is true because this is what we do on 376 00:20:46,360 --> 00:20:48,400 tea with me. We'll just be honest. 377 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,840 We have open conversations. We're curious, we're bi curious. 378 00:20:52,120 --> 00:20:54,920 We're we're we're we're transsexual. 379 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,800 We're, we're whatever we need to be at that time. 380 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:03,000 And when I was bringing the GoPro back, no, I was under 381 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,840 pressure. I needed to get to the airport. 382 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,680 I should have walked in with the GoPro on receipt because I 383 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,960 repackaged it when I bought it. I put the we sticker back on to 384 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,160 it and I should have walked back in there and said, because they 385 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,000 don't give a fuck. I should have said hi, yeah. 386 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:21,640 Can I return this GoPro, please? What I said was, hello, can I 387 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,720 return this GoPro, please? I had to buy one for my boss, 388 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,640 but someone in the else offered someone in the office. 389 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:31,160 Bottom one. What I said oh, sorry, my boss 390 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:36,320 needed a GoPro, but like what boss needs a GoPro as I but 391 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,960 someone else in the office had gone out to buy him 1 so I'm 392 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,120 returning this and the guy just making conversation as he was 393 00:21:42,120 --> 00:21:44,160 processing my thing went where do you work? 394 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,640 And I said farming. It was it's Manhattan. 395 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,000 No one in Manhattan is is farming. 396 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:57,120 It doesn't, it doesn't exist. I don't know why I need to feel 397 00:21:57,120 --> 00:22:00,480 the need to always add this bed on, but I don't know. 398 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,160 There's just something, there's something that makes it 399 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:04,280 enjoyable. For me. 400 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,760 It's a bit like whenever I was taking some DVDs back to Extra 401 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:13,400 Vision in the 1920s and remember, Extra Vision and the 402 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:14,720 guy. This is Extra Vision in 403 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,200 Hollywood, right in the town I live in the town where we are 404 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,840 right now. I took them up to the counter, 405 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:27,080 but I had rented them under. No, I was renting DVDs, but I 406 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:28,960 didn't have an Extra Vision account at the time. 407 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,440 But my best mate Stevie did have. 408 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,280 He also lives in Hollywood. He's my kind of age. 409 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,960 At the time I was going up with Stevie's sister, so I was down 410 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,880 in their family house. I said I'll go and get some 411 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:45,040 DVDs, I'll come back down. I go into the Extra Vision shop 412 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:49,400 in my hometown, get up to the counter, put the two DVDs up, 413 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,600 give the guy the card. He looks at it. 414 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,120 He's like a couple of years older than me. 415 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:59,040 And he goes, oh, this Stevie Horn, right, Which is my 416 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,320 friend's name. I said yeah. 417 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,960 And he goes, I went to school with Stevie, and I said, all 418 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:13,320 right, I'm his brother. And he said no, no, It's. 419 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:18,000 So I was maybe like 19 at the time, 18 or so. 420 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:19,560 I don't know. So I was 18. 421 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,360 Stevie's brother Shay, at the time would have been. 422 00:23:22,360 --> 00:23:28,360 I don't know, 12/13 he goes, No, bear in mind, at this point I 423 00:23:28,360 --> 00:23:30,480 should. This guy doesn't own 424 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,080 extravision. This guy's getting nothing. 425 00:23:33,120 --> 00:23:37,480 Or it's not like, it's not like the hot and fucking diamond 426 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:38,880 heist. No one's getting away. 427 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,880 It's not the northern bank robbery I'm renting Flubber to 428 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,080 and the naughty professor, you know. 429 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:49,520 But he said he looks at me and he goes, oh, it's shit. 430 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,240 I mean, he knows Stevie's brother's name. 431 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,680 And he goes, is she not like 12 or 13? 432 00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:04,320 And I say no, it's me. And he knows it's not. 433 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,560 He knows I'm, he knows I borrowed my mates card. 434 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,120 Why wouldn't I just say to him, sorry mate, yeah, I'm just 435 00:24:10,120 --> 00:24:12,320 borrowing Stevie's card. I go out with his sister. 436 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:18,120 But I had the lie about it. I just I think it's maybe like 437 00:24:18,120 --> 00:24:21,760 the actor and me, the performer. Another example, Hollywood High 438 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:28,440 Street, about 1993, whenever I was a 5 year old man and the 439 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,880 Coca-Cola, it was Mayday. And if basically on the 1st of 440 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:37,640 May, there's a fun fact, but on the 1st of May, Hollywood has 441 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,240 this thing called Mayday and we go nuts for it. 442 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,000 I can't describe it. I don't know why we do it. 443 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,360 Were you aware of this time? Right. 444 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,760 I don't know what it is, but we do this like festival. 445 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,240 The whole High Street shuts down and there's stalls, there's 446 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,680 games, there's all kinds of stuff and people dance around 447 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,360 the Maypole like some sort of weird satanic ritual and then we 448 00:24:57,360 --> 00:25:01,000 sacrifice a virgin. We don't but yeah there's like a 449 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,080 may queen and king and stuff. True weird but I don't know but 450 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:05,840 people love it. You can win goldfish and stuff, 451 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:07,600 you know what I mean? You threw darts of goldfish. 452 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,640 I don't know what the crack is but but Coca-Cola were giving 453 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,120 away free cans of coke. No it's not like it doesn't. 454 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,120 People don't go as mental for Mayday anymore. 455 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:21,240 Like the mid 90s was the peak. Nowadays it's like like Vetsy it 456 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:25,000 might give away 4 bottles of their bubble gum flavoured 457 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,720 drink. But back in the day, Coca-Cola 458 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:31,720 were on board and these like promo girls were given a, a can 459 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,800 of Coke to every like kid who came over. 460 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:35,480 Can I have a can of Coke? Everyone's queuing up. 461 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,680 It was great. And I joined the queue. 462 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:43,360 I got a can of Coke. And then I always want more of 463 00:25:43,360 --> 00:25:46,200 something. So I'm like, I'm, I'm not 464 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:53,400 entitled, but I, I, I always want more kind of than somebody 465 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,400 else. I like to have things so like 466 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:01,880 if, if, if we went, if we left here today and they were given 467 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,880 out a free car, I would be already trying to figure out a 468 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,160 way where I could get 10 cars. Does that make sense? 469 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:11,760 I just, I, I, I, I get, I get kind of greedy as long as it's 470 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,800 not to the detriment of somebody else. 471 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,600 So I'm like, if they have loads of cans of Coke, I want them and 472 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,600 I don't want any other children to have them. 473 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,040 So I go up, I get my can of Coke, and I should be content 474 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,120 with my can of Coke. Thank you. 475 00:26:27,120 --> 00:26:30,920 Take my can of Coke, drink it. I go back. 476 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,080 Hello. The girl who goes, oh, sorry, 477 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:35,920 it's one, it's one can of coke per child. 478 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:41,600 I go, oh, OK. Then I go change jumpers with my 479 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:45,640 friend Chris Jemison. And I go back with some sort of 480 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:51,320 like, I don't know, orange Lecoq sportif sweater on, but still my 481 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:56,600 face and head and I say hello and the girl goes, oh, sorry, 482 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,240 it's one kind of coke per child member. 483 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:03,240 I just said to you and I say I'm my brother. 484 00:27:05,360 --> 00:27:09,600 No, no, there's fundamental flaws. 485 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,520 And what I said there I am my brother. 486 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:17,360 And what happened was she just looked at me and went, it's OK, 487 00:27:17,360 --> 00:27:18,680 you can have another can of coke. 488 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,000 Like she must have thought there's a little boy who needs a 489 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,440 can of coke if he's willing to go to, if he doesn't have the 15 490 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,160 P, because that's how much coke was back then, needed to get a 491 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,120 can of coke. I will give him a free can of 492 00:27:30,120 --> 00:27:32,400 coke. I think it comes from my 493 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:36,560 grandda. Like my grandda was a character. 494 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,680 You know, I remember here once. That's genuinely true. 495 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,960 My grandda like, owed money to like, a bank or something. 496 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,640 He'd taken a loan and he was getting the bus home from the 497 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:50,760 shipyard from work and this like guy from the bank was following 498 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:55,240 him to his house. And my grandda got off the bus 499 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,680 and he noticed this guy in a suit was like 20 pieces behind 500 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,600 him. So my grandda walked past his 501 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,280 own house and walked on into Hollywood for like a mile. 502 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:04,480 And the guy eventually caught up with him. 503 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,840 He's like, Mr Todd, you owe some money. 504 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,920 And my grandda said I'm his twin. 505 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:15,600 And the guy went OK and left. We're halfway through the 506 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,960 podcast. Let me just really quickly give 507 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,520 you a message from our sponsor.

Done is visibly aroused and it's 544 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,200 and it's all good. And I'm sitting down in a second 545 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:24,200 cup of tea and there's a lot of people go a bit like maybe you 546 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,080 shouldn't. You can't go swimming an hour 547 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,160 after your dinner. You can't have a second cup of 548 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,040 tea within the space of half an hour. 549 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,880 I, I, I don't give a quote me on this right. 550 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:35,920 Quote me. Come closer to the podcast. 551 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:40,000 I don't give a fiddlers. I don't give a fiddlers. 552 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:41,720 All right, I'm doing as much tea as I want. 553 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,120 I'm in a day. I've definitely drunk 12 cups of 554 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:46,920 tea before. I'm not insane. 555 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:48,480 But that is just the way we do it. 556 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,840 And I started drinking tea, fun fact side fact, because my 557 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,960 granny used to leave me a bit of her tea back in the day. 558 00:30:56,200 --> 00:31:00,480 And this was back in the day when your granny had 17 sugars 559 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,240 in her tea and it was cold and I would drink a bit of it. 560 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,000 And it wasn't until I was about 12 I realised people have tea 561 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,000 hot and that only only added to it. 562 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:14,560 It only added to it. RIP my granny shout out on tea 563 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,080 with me which is what she always wanted. 564 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,240 We got we got some questions here. 565 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,360 I love it. First question, tea related, 566 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,560 which I like. Don't feel, don't feel the 567 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,680 questions have to be tea related, but if you want to make 568 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,520 them tea related, nobody's going to be mad at you. 569 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,360 Dez Bennett says how many sugars? 570 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,720 I started on 2. I think a lot of people do. 571 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,360 That's like entry level people are going to take two sugars 572 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:45,160 with their tea. Done. 573 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,520 Take sugar with tea. None exactly Bareback tea. 574 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,760 That's the best way to do it. I used to have two sugars on my 575 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:53,040 tea. Then I had one. 576 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,840 Then I took Tander ale, which was a wee tablet sweetener. 577 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:57,760 My dad was like, here, take a wee Chander Ale. 578 00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,000 I take a wee Chander ale. And then it came out, I think in 579 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,800 the Daily Mail, people are like Chander ale, you know, gives you 580 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,240 brain cancer or I don't know what it is, but like it gives 581 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,080 you something basically, it's not good. 582 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,720 It's a sweetener. So no, I, I just don't have 583 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,560 sugar and I don't think I like the idea of sugar in tea. 584 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:16,160 And I don't even think you can drink it anymore. 585 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,840 But yeah, no sugars. I know people who still have 586 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,920 quite a lot like it's, it's, it's not socially acceptable 587 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:24,960 anymore. I feel like it's taboo when 588 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,960 someone says like, I give us 3 sugars, It's the same way as if 589 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,160 someone was like, I'm going to do blackface at Halloween. 590 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,720 You're like, fair enough. Whatever you're into is what 591 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:36,520 you're into. But I would advise you not to 592 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,480 because there will be repercussions from that. 593 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:40,960 In the case of blackface, you're going to be cancelled. 594 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,200 In the case of three sugars, your bloody teeth are going to 595 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:44,160 fall out. You clamp it. 596 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,320 So yeah, there's I'm, I'm a no sugar guy. 597 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:50,760 I don't really have sugar in general. 598 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:52,800 But yeah, no sugar when it comes to I'm a purist. 599 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,360 I'm a purist. Adam McAvoy says best takeaway 600 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:57,840 and what day is best? Eat it. 601 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,720 I mean, it's a weird question. There's no best day to eat a 602 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:03,840 takeaway. I guess a lot of people will go 603 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,800 Friday or Saturday night for a takeaway. 604 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:12,080 I'm not really a takeaway guy. I do I like here's a thing. 605 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:21,240 I like it chippy and I have been in many fine dining experiences 606 00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:25,040 as of late because my career is going well and I have been 607 00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:28,240 thinking about the local chippy and going when you actually 608 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:32,960 balance these up good chips like a good fish shopper with salt 609 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:37,040 and vinegar and red sauce gives me more pleasure than this in 610 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:41,640 inverted commas tasting menu and I'm just going to throw this out 611 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:45,640 there. I went to a place in Belfast 612 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:51,240 that rhymes with the Cuddlers Club. 613 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,600 My also the Cuddlers Club probably is a place all right. 614 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:59,960 It's in the basement of Kremlin and this place is renowned for 615 00:33:59,960 --> 00:34:02,600 being phenomenal. I think it has a Michelin star. 616 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,800 So clearly people love it. Clearly it's amazing. 617 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:11,440 But when I went there, you basically get like 6 courses, 618 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,840 six or seven courses and they're like small portions. 619 00:34:15,159 --> 00:34:19,239 And I thought it was all extremely well cooked. 620 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,280 I love the experience of it. I was like, I've never done this 621 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,199 before, like wee portions. And again, there's part of me 622 00:34:25,199 --> 00:34:27,440 it's like, give me a big massive portion because someone's going 623 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,120 to nick this, you know, I don't know. 624 00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:32,639 I don't know if I like, I like seeing it and I like being part 625 00:34:32,639 --> 00:34:35,760 of it and I like going out. And it was nice. 626 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:41,520 But at the same time, if you offered me a fish shopper in the 627 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:46,400 back of a Fiat Pinto every day of the week, every day of the 628 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,040 week. But the best take away from me, 629 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:56,239 So fun fact, the chippy near me in Baln, the Hinch does a 630 00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,800 steamed fish supper. So you don't have the fish. 631 00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:01,640 The fish isn't fried, it's not in butter. 632 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:06,440 It's just a nice white bit of cod that's steamed and chips. 633 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:12,200 Now Dan is looking at me in this studio like I'm Satan himself 634 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,080 because I get that that's going to offend a lot of people. 635 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,160 There'll be a lot of people outraged on Twitter here. 636 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,400 You felt like no meat. You need butter on the fish. 637 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,920 You need it. You know, council culture is 638 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,560 going to be after me, but I don't know if you need that 639 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,160 butter. And I just think I, I love 640 00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:30,120 butter on fish. But at the same time, if you're 641 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,280 looking to just be a wee bit healthier, you get that steamed 642 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,560 fish comes in a bit of tinfoil. I like it. 643 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,320 I like it. And the best, the best day did 644 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,440 Saturday after football. I like a takeaway Saturday 645 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,360 night. Oh, I Saturday night. 646 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:51,360 I love people like that. Like in the chippy I go to which 647 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:52,280 I'm just going to throw it out there. 648 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,240 It's called Chips Ahoy. There you go. 649 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,200 Better free advertising, their sponsor, the podcast. 650 00:35:56,600 --> 00:36:01,160 And whenever I was in last time some guy recognised me, I was 651 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,120 just in the queue, right? And it's very obvious why I'm 652 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:08,920 there. If I'm in a chippy queuing, I'm 653 00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:13,400 not there to talk about, you know, the full works of Craig 654 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,960 David. I'm not there to buy a bicycle. 655 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,240 I'm very much waiting for something off their menu. 656 00:36:19,720 --> 00:36:21,560 And this guy recognised me Zombie. 657 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,960 And he goes, all right, shame, big Lord, get the wee chippy are 658 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:29,480 you? And I said to him, yes, that's 659 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,560 what we're all doing here. And he goes, I'll be days. 660 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:37,440 Love characters like that. Also, when people, there's 661 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:41,960 nothing I like more than asking a question that you already know 662 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:46,240 the answer to, but someone answers it like they didn't know 663 00:36:46,240 --> 00:36:49,440 that you knew the answer to it. Going through customs, right? 664 00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:55,400 When people have bottles of water, how do they not know that 665 00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:57,040 you can't take those through anymore? 666 00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:00,400 That's just a thing. It amazes me that people like my 667 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,920 kind of age, who should know what travel is all about a bit, 668 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,400 don't go, Oh yeah, you can't have no liquids and they go no 669 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,320 liquids and everyone. And there's always some guy with 670 00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:14,200 a fucking two litre of fruit scratch on his head, is there? 671 00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:17,720 Can you not take like what's 3? No, why not 911? 672 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:20,360 But how does that work? I don't know. 673 00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,280 But you're basically not allowed to bring that 10 a little 674 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:26,600 through. But there was this guy in JFK 675 00:37:27,720 --> 00:37:30,400 kind of board his flight, going through customs in front of me 676 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,000 and he was genuinely like my age. 677 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:33,360 He had like a real traveller backpack. 678 00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:37,160 He looked like he'd been places and he was over his girlfriend. 679 00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:40,480 I swear to God he came back from the line. 680 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,960 So I may be like 20 people back in the customs line. 681 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:48,920 He walks back to the bins shaking his head with I swear to 682 00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:59,520 God, 8 bottles of water. Like not a bottle of water, 683 00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:05,360 several unopened bottles of water that he had bought for the 684 00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,640 airport. No I see his logic in a way 685 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:09,640 because they double the price of everything at the airport. 686 00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:14,680 But there was 8 bottles and he looked at me because I was 687 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:16,960 looking at him. I look at people like I was 688 00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:20,320 looking at him the whole time, just trying to get an exponent, 689 00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,760 like with my head slightly tilted, trying to get in an 690 00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:25,680 understanding of what his thought process was. 691 00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:30,320 And he was unloading this fucking reservoir into the 692 00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:33,040 airport bin. And I locked eye contact with 693 00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:36,080 him in the hope that he would look at me so I could ask him 694 00:38:36,240 --> 00:38:40,280 one question. And I swear to God, he turned 695 00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,160 around. He was shaking his head. 696 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,040 I locked eyes on him because I was queuing near the bin. 697 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:49,680 And I swear to God he looked at me and he shook his head and he 698 00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,680 and he and he puffed out. And I said, that's a lot of 699 00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,480 water. And he went, yeah, I'm not 700 00:38:55,480 --> 00:39:00,560 allowed to bring it through. And I said, what were you trying 701 00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:06,560 to bring it all through for? And he said to drink it. 702 00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,240 Oh. And I said, all right, cheers. 703 00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:15,920 You know, what was what did he think? 704 00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,680 I thought he might be bringing through for here just in case 705 00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:22,040 the, the, the windscreen is frosted and then maybe he could 706 00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,520 pour it over and then the, the pilot could do his windscreen 707 00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,000 wipers. Absolutely. 708 00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,560 Beyond mental. Beyond mental. 709 00:39:28,720 --> 00:39:30,600 But yeah, to answer your question, Saturday night's the 710 00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,560 best night for a chippy. Sometimes a Friday's OK. 711 00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:37,640 You know, you finish work, you know, on your way home, a chip, 712 00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:39,600 you can't really go wrong. I used to. 713 00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:43,880 I used to, I used to be in the Chinese back in the day for the 714 00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:50,400 coronavirus. No, I don't mean that, but I 715 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,520 think, I don't know, I'm worried about MSG and I don't know what 716 00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,840 it is, but people are like here, they put MSG in that and I don't 717 00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,960 know what it is, but I just think let's not have it. 718 00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:02,880 I don't know. But yeah, I used to get always 719 00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:06,000 used to get like salt and chilli chicken, sweet and sour chicken, 720 00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:10,920 honey chilli chicken. But hey, it's all the same. 99% 721 00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:14,240 of dishes that you get from our local Chinese restaurants are 722 00:40:14,240 --> 00:40:17,400 just the same sauce. It's sugar sauce and, and meat, 723 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,760 you know, and then I, and then I found out that in China, they 724 00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,560 don't need any of that stuff. They don't need any of that. 725 00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:28,360 All their stuff for like pickled, salted, dry, you know, 726 00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,360 like they're you, they, they, they're not doing honey chilly 727 00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,920 chicken over there. And half and half people are 728 00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,680 acting like they, they could go over to China and, and just 729 00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:40,520 continue their diet. They don't do half and half all 730 00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,960 right, going to do it like a nice Chinese restaurant, you 731 00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:47,360 know, in the middle of a Chinese city, which I don't know any, 732 00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,040 but people imagine they're going to go all right, mate, can I get 733 00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:53,200 chicken balls on a on a Curry, half and half on a bottle on a 734 00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,160 bottle of Tiger. They they're not going to know 735 00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,840 what you're saying. Jamie Gordon says. 736 00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:00,960 What role do you think you'd be best suited for in a 737 00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,160 paramilitary organisation? Great question. 738 00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:10,560 And masseuse. I don't know if they have a 739 00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:14,080 masseuse, but yeah, I, I don't think I'd be out on the front 740 00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:18,400 line because also I've got a, I've got a memorable face. 741 00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:23,240 So even if, like even if I wasn't me, I would still have 742 00:41:23,240 --> 00:41:26,240 this face.

You know, they'd be like, there 787 00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:18,680 was this one guy and like, what the fuck? 788 00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:20,840 What's I'm just looking for flaws and a skin, but I couldn't 789 00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:22,640 find it. You know, the, the descriptions 790 00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:24,200 wouldn't be the normal descriptions. 791 00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:28,120 Oh my God, his hairline's so strong and he's like almost all 792 00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:32,440 of you know, at least from here. So I feel like I couldn't be a 793 00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:34,520 frontline guy. Maybe like an admin role or 794 00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:36,400 like, yeah, masseuse. Maybe I could just do that. 795 00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:39,680 Like be like, Oh my God, your, your hands must be so tense from 796 00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:41,880 all the shooting and all. And then I would, I would hand 797 00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:45,520 massage them with like some sort of ginger and lemon oil, 798 00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:47,080 something like that. I don't know. 799 00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:49,560 I would see what roles they had going and then I would, I would 800 00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:53,480 probably do that. Or maybe I can make the tea 801 00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,200 because one thing, all the paramilitaries have been coming 802 00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:58,440 here. Hey, after a long night, if of 803 00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:01,600 shooting people, they're probably like a mug of tea. 804 00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:05,000 Dave Wiggins, how do you like your tea? 805 00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:09,120 Milk first or bag first? Hey, man, always bag first. 806 00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:15,920 Yeah, definitely bag first. You put the tea bag in, you put 807 00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:19,280 the boiling water in. Then I'm 5050. 808 00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:23,400 Sometimes I'll just dunk the tea bag like 15 times, wring it out 809 00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:25,720 in the side, then put the milk in. 810 00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:30,160 Or sometimes and then shaking his head here, I'll put the tea 811 00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:32,360 bag in, the hot water in and then the milk in. 812 00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:36,080 But it's hard to judge sometimes what you're going to have at the 813 00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:38,360 end if you put the milk in at the start. 814 00:45:38,720 --> 00:45:41,480 Because I like the idea of tea bag out. 815 00:45:41,720 --> 00:45:43,200 I know how strong the tea is going to be. 816 00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:46,040 And then I can stir the milk in and stop whenever I'm like, 817 00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:48,120 bingo. But do you feel down like you 818 00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:52,640 have some sort of Jedi Jedi sense of, you know, how much 819 00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:53,640 milk to put in? Yeah. 820 00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:55,560 And when you get it right with the milk, the. 821 00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:58,600 Tea bag and the water it's well, yes, there's more glory in 822 00:45:58,600 --> 00:45:59,880 getting. It right all at once because 823 00:45:59,880 --> 00:46:02,240 even if I do it, I'm like, yeah, well, I kind of cheated in a way 824 00:46:02,240 --> 00:46:03,880 because I, I took tea bag at first. 825 00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,560 But then again, there's nothing more embarrassing than even if 826 00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:09,080 you're in the house by yourself, the walk back to the fridge. 827 00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:11,960 I need more milk or someone goes, is the car dead? 828 00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:15,240 And you're like, no, let me go and get some more milk. 829 00:46:15,240 --> 00:46:17,000 Like, none of us want to add more milk. 830 00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:25,840 The barrack boy himself, Cormac McDermott, says red or brown 831 00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:29,280 sauce on the fry. Also, what is in the fry Name 832 00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:31,080 your bread. The people deserve to know. 833 00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:33,160 So we're talking about food now as well. 834 00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:37,960 That kind of does divide opinion in in this part of the world. 835 00:46:38,240 --> 00:46:41,600 Red or brown sauce on a fry. And I'm going to shock a lot of 836 00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:43,080 people. I want people to sit down. 837 00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:44,680 I want you to put your tea on the coaster. 838 00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:49,560 I want you to relax. But let me just say this, both 839 00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:53,160 red and brown sauce, now I'm not a fucking mini. 840 00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:55,960 I cannot mix them in some because if you mix red and brown 841 00:46:55,960 --> 00:47:00,720 sauce, you get sent to hell and now you get BBQ sauce. 842 00:47:00,720 --> 00:47:03,800 I am. I will go red sauce from my 843 00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,800 sausages. And the sausages do not interact 844 00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:09,920 with anything else on the plate. Everything else though, gets on 845 00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:12,480 the same fork and goes in my mouth at the same time. 846 00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:15,080 Like beans. Beans. 847 00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:20,040 Yeah. So here's my fry, baked beans, 2 848 00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:24,560 sausages, 2 bits of bacon. Then I don't I don't need eggs 849 00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:26,120 anymore. It would have been like 2 fried 850 00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:29,200 eggs. But now I will just have like I 851 00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:30,960 guess I just really have to have gluten free toast noise. 852 00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:35,160 So it's not as big a fry as it was, but it, it means I'm open 853 00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:39,280 the boiled porridge beforehand or whatever, but the, the, the 854 00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:42,880 baked beans, the sausage, the baked beans, the bacon and the 855 00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:46,440 toast will have brown sauce on it and they'll be mixed 856 00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:50,520 together, but the sausage will be eaten separately at 857 00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:55,840 intermittent intervals. It's bold, no one's denying 858 00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:57,560 that. But but you know, that's just, 859 00:47:57,560 --> 00:47:59,880 that's just what I do. Hard to find a good fryer these 860 00:47:59,880 --> 00:48:03,600 days.

Goodman, Marty, you're putting 892 00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:38,280 your balls on the line there.

Lee Robinson says Lee Robinson 897 00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:50,320 with three ends says player says any more previously coming up. 898 00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:57,560 So previously was ATV show I did for BBC Northern Ireland and it 899 00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:01,360 went out like four months ago maybe. 900 00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:03,600 I don't know. I've I've no concept of time. 901 00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:06,800 I'm like a little boy during the summer holidays in between 902 00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:08,400 school. I don't know what day it is. 903 00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:09,840 I don't know what month it is. I don't know. 904 00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:15,280 I'm a real dad is, you know, so I, I don't, I don't know when 905 00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:17,920 that went out, but that was basically where I went through 906 00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:22,000 archive footage, old archive footage sort of took the piss 907 00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,600 out of it a wee bit from the live audience. 908 00:50:24,720 --> 00:50:29,400 And, and the, the answer to that question is I, I don't know. 909 00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:31,520 I don't, I don't think so. I don't think they're going to 910 00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:34,200 do any more of it. I would definitely like to. 911 00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:37,200 It was fun or, or maybe I can look at a way of making it like 912 00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:40,440 an online thing or something. But but it was definitely 913 00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:44,240 enjoyable. Like we had the idea for it, Eh, 914 00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:48,120 Mark, the producer of it was like, why don't we just do 1? 915 00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:52,600 So we kind of, I think we almost like funded it ourselves and we 916 00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:55,640 put on like a real rough version of it in the Accidental Theatre. 917 00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:59,280 An audience came along, it was like a stand up gig. 918 00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:01,920 It was like, this is great, this really works. 919 00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:06,920 Then we sent that footage to the BBC, They said let's do an 920 00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:11,120 episode of it, see how it goes. And I think the feedback I got 921 00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:16,440 was that the viewing figures for it won't create, which I guess 922 00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:18,400 is always going to be difficult if someone's never been on 923 00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:20,520 before. The kind of launch it when 924 00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:25,680 there's only one episode of it. But and it was like, yeah, there 925 00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:30,760 wasn't any promo for it in terms of like TV ads or anything. 926 00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:33,360 So it was hard to like, let people know it was on. 927 00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:36,640 But I was really happy with it. Like, I think it was good. 928 00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:38,680 I still get the odd sort of comment about it. 929 00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:40,800 And people ask him what the crack is. 930 00:51:41,720 --> 00:51:45,120 And the answer is I do not know. But I would like to do more of 931 00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:46,520 it. And if it's not going to be with 932 00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:50,440 BBC, maybe I can work out a way to do it some other some other 933 00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:53,840 way. Matthew Myrnan says, does your 934 00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:56,240 dad's mate have any updates on the MOT debacle? 935 00:51:56,240 --> 00:51:58,160 Hope your new chariot is treating you well. 936 00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:00,560 So, yeah, I don't know if people know that I came back from New 937 00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:03,400 York. And out there, by the way, when 938 00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:05,880 you look at the news, it's all about Trump's impeachment. 939 00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:10,200 It's one of the biggest news stories of the of the decade, 940 00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:12,440 probably. And like, people are like, is 941 00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:16,280 the president going to be kicked out and the Senate are involved? 942 00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:19,920 And I looked at like the top stories back home, there's going 943 00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:23,080 to be no MOT for four months. So because the weightless is too 944 00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:25,040 big. So if you have an MOT booked for 945 00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:27,200 your car, don't be, don't be showing up and all. 946 00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:33,080 I was the big number one story. And I don't know what the crack 947 00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:35,040 with that is. I also don't know if you have a 948 00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:37,840 car that needs an MOT. Do you just is it like, you're 949 00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:39,600 sweet? Yeah, for four months. 950 00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:40,880 You sweet for four. Months. 951 00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:42,960 Mine is due on. Friday yours Oh. 952 00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:45,360 So you're directly. Affected by this? 953 00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:50,320 Oh, does it, does it give you a sense of fear or excitement that 954 00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:53,120 you're driving about in a car that might not necessarily pass 955 00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:55,800 safety? A mixture of both, yeah. 956 00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:57,480 I mean if. You die. 957 00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:00,360 I think your family could get like a sweet claim because 958 00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:03,880 they'd be like, he wanted to take it to the MOT but use it. 959 00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:05,760 It was their fuck up. Yeah, it was booked. 960 00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:08,240 Oh, shit. I think people are just going to 961 00:53:08,240 --> 00:53:10,320 get a lot of bangers, right, that they used to have, like 962 00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:12,520 maybe an old Nova that kept in the garage and be like, fuck it, 963 00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:14,160 let's just do Donuts in front of Stormont. 964 00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:18,120 My new chariot is treatment. Well, yeah, guys, I got a new 965 00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:20,000 car. No big deal. 966 00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,360 Play. Yeah, cha ching say new car. 967 00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:26,360 It had had several previous owners, but it's new to me 968 00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:28,680 anyway. And what I sent you is the smell 969 00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:31,600 of smoke inside it. I didn't know this, but it must 970 00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:34,520 have been a smoker's car because anyone who's got in it went this 971 00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:37,320 was definitely a smoker's car, but I I can't smell it. 972 00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:41,520 Weird, but I guess smokers will know the smell of smoke better. 973 00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:44,840 Well, they're probably more sensitive to it. 974 00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:47,280 So I would say non-smokers would be more. 975 00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:50,080 Sensitive maybe? Remember you used. 976 00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:52,800 To go out drinking bars and used to come back smell and your 977 00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:55,200 clothes smell the smoke and that's so weird. 978 00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:58,480 That wasn't even that long ago. My new chariot is treat me well. 979 00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:00,720 Drove down the Galway in it on Tuesday. 980 00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:02,640 Had a nice time with Aaron Butler. 981 00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:08,360 It's here's the thing, it's an older model, but it's backed out 982 00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:13,480 and I will never tyre of saying the phrase specked out. 983 00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:16,120 How's your new car mate? Specked out. 984 00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:19,800 I could have got like, so my car's at 2011. 985 00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:21,520 People are going mate, that's old. 986 00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:26,280 Yes, mate, but at the same time it's specked out. 987 00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:28,800 I could have got a 2015 one same price. 988 00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:31,080 I looked at it. I phoned the guy up I went mate, 989 00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:34,600 what's the spec situation here? He says no spec. 990 00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:38,360 I said so it's not specked out. He goes Nah, probably couldn't 991 00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:41,080 describe it as specked out. I went, all right, I'll take a 992 00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:43,560 swerve on that bra called the original guy. 993 00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:45,840 I said, mate, is that car there? Yep, still here. 994 00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:48,400 It's still specked out. Still specked out. 995 00:54:48,720 --> 00:54:53,360 All right, we're talking leather seats, we're talking sat NAV, 996 00:54:53,680 --> 00:55:01,440 we're talking Bluetooth, we're talking tyres, we're talking 997 00:55:02,720 --> 00:55:04,800 roof rail that I'm never going to use. 998 00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:06,640 I don't think anyone here uses them. 999 00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:10,000 But yeah, Matthew, it's treating me well. 1000 00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:12,600 I'm enjoying it. I hope you're not still driving. 1001 00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:17,960 That we fit that I've seen before because oh, I'm selling 1002 00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:21,800 the Passat. Matthew, buy the Passat off me. 1003 00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:25,680 Make me an offer I can refuse. I'm selling the Passat, but I'm 1004 00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:28,920 not selling it under my name because I'm not sure anything 1005 00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:31,880 wrong with it, but because I will definitely get weirdos 1006 00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:34,360 coming to my door. You know, I'm like, do you want 1007 00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:35,680 to see the car? No mail. 1008 00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:37,360 I just want to see your face and where you live. 1009 00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:42,280 OK, Glen, Joe says, will you be adding the podcast to your 1010 00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:44,480 Wikipedia? Looks like some wee monkeys have 1011 00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:47,120 been messing around on there. Yeah, my Wikipedia gets changed 1012 00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:48,960 a lot. And, you know, it's just one of 1013 00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:50,720 those things. I don't look at it. 1014 00:55:50,720 --> 00:55:53,320 I don't check it. The facts may be right, they may 1015 00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:55,720 be wrong. But at the same time, the world 1016 00:55:55,720 --> 00:55:58,680 keeps turning and the money keeps burning. 1017 00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:01,840 You know what I'm saying? Yeah. 1018 00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:07,680 I shouldn't freestyle. That is not a that is not a 1019 00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:09,760 question. That is a poster for tonight's 1020 00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:11,720 gig in Mayo. And there's a point me telling 1021 00:56:11,720 --> 00:56:13,480 you guys about it because by the time you listen to this, it will 1022 00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:18,000 already have happened. Giles Strut says good morning 1023 00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:20,080 she and intrigued by this new podcast of yours. 1024 00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:24,320 I expect to hear you slurp in your wee cup of tea throughout 1025 00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:26,520 the episode. My question is, what is your 1026 00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:28,880 favourite non touristy thing that in the Big Apple? 1027 00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:32,000 Never been to America myself and it's definitely on the bucket 1028 00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:34,600 list, but all the tourist heavy attractions are a bit off 1029 00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:35,840 putting. Many thanks. 1030 00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:37,880 Good luck with the new podcast. Big kiss. 1031 00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:43,680 Well, hey, catch this. Yeah, Don, have you been New 1032 00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:45,600 York? Yeah, good spot, isn't it? 1033 00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:49,320 It's a good spot. Some some city anyway. 1034 00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:53,960 So I wouldn't really like doing the touristy things because I 1035 00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:56,120 think it's good to see it and do it. 1036 00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:59,160 And there's nothing in New York that's time consuming because 1037 00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:02,480 pretty much everything you're going to see is in Manhattan or 1038 00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:05,720 just around it. So I would probably, if you 1039 00:57:05,720 --> 00:57:08,080 don't want to go and see all the tourist things, I'll probably 1040 00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:11,160 just do one big Buster, you know, like the red buses and 1041 00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:12,760 that way you're sort of seeing everything. 1042 00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:16,080 Plus, if there's an area you like the look of and jazz, I 1043 00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:17,640 think you'll like Greenwich Village. 1044 00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:19,360 And we will leave it at that, my man. 1045 00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:22,440 And because no, because of the arc, because of the 1046 00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:23,640 architecture, you know what I mean? 1047 00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:27,480 And you can buy, I guess like animal nitrate and all the masks 1048 00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:30,160 you like. And but yeah, literally. 1049 00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:34,520 But but yeah, I think doing that, that bus tour is cool 1050 00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:37,280 because you can go, ah, maybe I'll get off here, go see that. 1051 00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:41,320 It kind of is touristy, but the highline is the best thing I 1052 00:57:41,320 --> 00:57:43,200 did. It's a dis, it's beside Chelsea 1053 00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:45,440 Market. It's like a dish used railway 1054 00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:48,560 line above the city. So maybe like 40 feet above the 1055 00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:53,840 city and it's all converted into like a walkway with gardens up 1056 00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:56,560 alongside it. And it's brilliant because you 1057 00:57:56,560 --> 00:58:01,000 can like get a great aerial view of the city and it's nice. 1058 00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:03,680 It's just nice. I would do the Staten Island 1059 00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:05,520 Ferry because you get to see the Statue of Liberty. 1060 00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:07,680 You pass right in front of it, but don't go to the actual 1061 00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:09,320 Statue of Liberty because it's shit. 1062 00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:12,000 It is. It is shit like the actual 1063 00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:15,720 Statue of Liberty. Don't go to a Brooklyn Nets 1064 00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:17,360 game. I went to a Brooklyn Nets NBA 1065 00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:19,560 basketball game and it was dog shit. 1066 00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:22,240 I think they maybe just decided to play on the day. 1067 00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:25,800 I don't know if this was the team or just like a load of labs 1068 00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:28,040 that have the key to the Barclays Centre. 1069 00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:32,800 But it was good to see because I like NBA and it was like a food 1070 00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:36,640 like a league game. But there was I think that the 1071 00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:40,600 Barclays Centre holds 18,000. There was like 4000 people there 1072 00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:43,520 and it was a Monday afternoon because it was a holiday out 1073 00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:45,920 there. And if it wasn't for the DJ 1074 00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:48,800 playing like the pump it up music because like in between 1075 00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:52,160 songs, sometimes you just hear like like we squelch to the 1076 00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:55,920 court and it was just sad. Umm, so, so don't go and do 1077 00:58:55,920 --> 00:58:59,600 that. Umm, I got some more questions 1078 00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:02,840 here. Uh, OK, look, I've got a couple 1079 00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:05,240 more questions. I'm going to rifle rifle through 1080 00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:09,520 them. Marie Barnes says best or worst 1081 00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:14,080 joke. Umm, best joke? 1082 00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:16,600 Best or worst joke? Sometimes the worst jokes are 1083 00:59:16,600 --> 00:59:19,400 the best jokes. And I'm trying to think of OK, 1084 00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:23,480 here's here's a bad joke that tickles me every time I tell 1085 00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:26,600 someone that has never heard it. How did I get out of Iran? 1086 00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:32,920 Iraq. No, fuck it. 1087 00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:42,160 OK, that is a good joke told in a bad way. 1088 00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:46,600 So Don, let me ask you this. How did I get out of Iraq by the 1089 00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:47,920 way? I'm a professional stand up 1090 00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:55,200 taxi. Umm yeah, thought that is how to 1091 00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:57,960 get out of Iraq around. What's mad is I make my living 1092 00:59:57,960 --> 00:59:59,600 doing stand up. So come and see me. 1093 00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:02,480 Waterfront Hall, 3rd of October. Take itself fast. 1094 01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:04,920 Yeah, there you go. Fuck. 1095 01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:07,400 It's all fun and games. Sarah Jane Dorman, Hello there. 1096 01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:10,200 Which character do you enjoy doing the most, Dean Davidson, 1097 01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:12,720 Lawrence Lyle, MC Beazer or Mike McGoldrick? 1098 01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:14,840 And do you prefer stand up more than anything? 1099 01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:17,320 Yes, I prefer stand up more than anything. 1100 01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:21,840 It gives you that instant buzz. You get the adrenaline rush from 1101 01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:22,840 it. It's instant. 1102 01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:26,680 There's something really scary about it because it might not go 1103 01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:29,680 well, it might not work. So you have that element of 1104 01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:34,200 danger about it and you can't like redo it once it's done. 1105 01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:37,320 Whereas when I'm doing the character stuff, you can retake, 1106 01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:40,480 you can shoot something again. And but I love doing the 1107 01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:41,800 character stuff where I wouldn't do it. 1108 01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:46,800 My favourite character to do out of those people is Dean 1109 01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:49,960 Davidson's very fun Dean Davidson fun to do. 1110 01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:53,520 I should do more of that. I will in the near future. 1111 01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:57,400 Kara's Doke says. Why the change of podcast? 1112 01:00:58,520 --> 01:01:00,600 Why? Why this, Why the why the nosy 1113 01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:02,920 bitch? Why there's so many fucking 1114 01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:05,480 questions. I'm only joking, Charis or 1115 01:01:05,480 --> 01:01:10,440 Charis then the change of podcast is just because I felt 1116 01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:16,320 like the She and Todd cast is. I felt like talking with tea is 1117 01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:18,320 a way to just think about the listeners. 1118 01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:20,280 We're all having a cup of tea listening to it. 1119 01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:23,600 The She and Todd cast just felt too much a wee bit about me. 1120 01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:26,680 And like, if it only works, maybe if you've seen me before, 1121 01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:29,960 where is this? You don't need to know me to get 1122 01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:31,160 into the podcast. Kind of. 1123 01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:33,400 I don't know. I just, I just sometimes you got 1124 01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:36,080 to change it up. You know, whenever, whenever I 1125 01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:37,640 was younger, I used to have bucked teeth. 1126 01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:40,040 And then there came a point where I was like, let me see 1127 01:01:40,040 --> 01:01:42,800 what happens if I don't have bucked teeth and hey, way 1128 01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:44,960 better. Life is good. 1129 01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:48,880 So yeah, 'cause I just fancy changing it up, doing something 1130 01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:51,560 a bit new. And I think I like this David 1131 01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:54,760 may don't know if that's the ex ex Man United defender. 1132 01:01:54,760 --> 01:01:57,920 I don't think so says best or word this final question best or 1133 01:01:57,920 --> 01:02:03,880 worst interaction with a fan or someone who recognised you best 1134 01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:08,240 was in Dubai or no, not in Dubai in fuck. 1135 01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:10,480 What do you call the city beside Dubai you can drive to? 1136 01:02:10,480 --> 01:02:17,960 You've been in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, when I was in Abu Dhabi and the 1137 01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:23,720 do they have camels here? No, but the people of Abu Dhabi 1138 01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:28,160 do. And the I was in the mosque 1139 01:02:28,880 --> 01:02:33,560 doing a big tourist tour and I'm wearing like chic robes. 1140 01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:35,480 And I was walking about enjoying it. 1141 01:02:35,480 --> 01:02:38,640 And it was like 99% like Muslim people, like very few tourists 1142 01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:40,840 on that day. And I just heard across the 1143 01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:43,880 mosque, some guy went shin. Go ahead, big man. 1144 01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:48,320 That was the best interaction and also the worst because that 1145 01:02:48,320 --> 01:02:51,280 guy got, you know, banned from the mosque after that and I 1146 01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:54,120 never saw him again. And now the worst fan 1147 01:02:54,120 --> 01:02:58,400 interaction was a guy who wanted me to get on his shoulders for a 1148 01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:00,040 photo outside the ball one night. 1149 01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:02,760 And he was really drunk and I didn't want to and he acted like 1150 01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:04,800 I was the prick. So that was probably the worst 1151 01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:06,320 one. I hardly have any bad fan 1152 01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:08,760 interactions, but that was that was a bad one. 1153 01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:13,600 Guys, put your tea down. Go and go and have a biscuit. 1154 01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:17,920 Thanks very much for listening to episode 1 of Tea with Me. 1155 01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:21,040 She and Todd.
