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. Zippers, welcome to this episode
of the Tea with Me podcast with me, your big nature and Todd.
Yes, I'm sitting in a room with all the curtains and blinds
closed because my baby's here too.
I'm by my baby, a dopamine producer, Dan, I'm in my actual
baby son. Now here's the thing.
It's warm outside. There's a heat wave.
I'm annoyed that my son is warm and I've got to keep all the
blinds windows closed, and I'm annoyed that I can't go out on
bronze in this. So it's an angry start to the
episode, but it's a guest episode.
Today. I've got my friend Aaron McCann,
fellow stand up comedian straight out of OMA on the pod
and we're chatting, stand up, chatting, everything in between.
But before we start, let me just plug the Patreon, which is

shiny here on the video. I don't know, I'm losing not
wearing hair product either Hair.
It's a good time. My wife's got her haircut and
I'm on daily duty. And what that means is you do a
podcast. That's what that means.
So it's a good time. Aaron McCann's on this is the
Friday episode. We're back.
Let me also plug, we're back on Radio Ulster tonight.

Shopify, which is Shopify. Shopify, you get the zipper
T-shirt, money to T-shirt the mugs.
I have a mug in my hand that I'm trying to turn around.
I'm making a really, really bad job of it and my mug says
there's Prosecco in here and there isn't.
There's tea. It's nice.
So it's a great day outside. I can't go outside.
I've got a baby. Great to have a baby also, but
also great to have a tan and I can't really have that at the
minute, although I have a decent baseline for the tan.
So I can't be too annoyed. I can't be too annoyed.
I've got iron on today. Then we're doing listeners
questions. Strap in, my baby needs me to
come and speak to him and that's what I'm going to do.
Keep stepping, keep living the dream.
Oh shit, you did not connect the audio.
Have you connected the audio? Hello.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, right.
Couple of things to get into straight away. 1 of water is way
too big. One of which is one of which is
this right? I've got a big, big dilemma that
might that might fuck this podcast.
I need your advice on this. Tell me what you would do if you
were in my shoes. OK.
So I my laptop is currently on 15% battery and he still he got
ready for to record. So my Mac charger, you know,
it's the metallic type charger. It was plugged in at the wall
and I moved loads of stuff the the drag the laptop over.
Very Long story short, pulling the laptop charger out, it went
straight into my muggerty while it's connected now the light and
stuff still on. But do you think that if I plug
that into my laptop, there's going to be a Chernobyl?
I, I think, I think you'll be all right.
Like, I don't think it'll be a Beirut situation.
I think you should be good. But then again, I'm sort of
thinking you and I might not be the guys that would know like
that side of technology like like let's think about what
we're talking about live electrics.
I've just dipped it into a liquid, a new mere both like
primary. Well, you could just say listen,
try to record an episode of the podcast VAR McCann.
And literally my laptop exploded because we were talking.
How much hate? Good hit or I mean it's going to
explode either way. What the other thing I've got to
get into is your e-mail address is very, very traditional, very
straightforward. And it didn't used to be a new
on a personal level because I'm 32 year old father and my e-mail
address has a reference to wrestling in it.
But I think I think the people would not expect that of me.
So I think people would just think it was coincidence.
But wrestling fans like yourself will understand the reference.
But did I ever tell you what my I've had two e-mail address in
my life. Did I ever tell you what my
first e-mail address? Was I'm so excited to hear this.
Go ahead. You know who?
Rio Ferdinand. This.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
My first ever Hotmail address was Rio under slash Ferdinand
under slash rules with az@hotmail.com and I was, I was
adding everyone's sister, mom and girlfriend, the MSN
Messenger, which when you saw Rio Ferdinand rules pop up, you
were getting chat I think. I think if I ever for some
reason met Rio Ferdinand, like some sort of corporate stand up
event or some sort of TV thing and told them that story, be
like, that's really fucking weird.
I think the. This Ed makes it the weird
weird. Did you have any other weird
e-mail addresses before your last one?
So I had my first like this is the Bebo e-mail address like
when you when you make the address just so you can get
people you don't even have any intentions of using MSN at the
stage. Yeah, it's the thing that comes
later is you mature. Yeah, I went for, I was like,
right, make an e-mail address and then they have that at Dot
co.uk and I was like, OK, I'm going to go McCann surname safe,
man. Yeah.
RVD. Yep. 35.
No, yeah, but you had that. That was yours up until what,
last year? No, really.
What I I have that e-mail address for you.
That's why I asked you for your e-mail address.
Yeah. I, I think, I mean, I'm keeping
mine as it as it is because not that many people are going to
get it. And I think the people that do
will like it, you know, like if it's someone from a professional
type thing to be more inclined to work with you, whatever.
If they're like, I used to like Wayne Mysterio back back in the
day. This first time we've seen each
other in a long time, even virtually.
I got to ask you my first question.
Ask everyone who comes on the podcast.
Do you drink tea? Now?
I don't know if I know this about you because we've known
each other for what, seven years?
Yeah, yeah. And you're a guy who will always
go to the novelty beverage before, like you're not a
traditional beverage guy. I think that's fair to say.
Yeah, yeah, you've been called worse than a than a non
traditional beverage guy. Like if it's like the mad
version of something like milkshake type fucking blended
thing, that's what you're going to have.
Does Iron McCann drink tea? I don't know the answer to this
question. What would you think?
I think in the right sentence, definitely.
I think if someone's died, you'll have a cup of tea.
You know what, you got it square on there.
The right satin be in my house. I don't like outside tea.
Now, is this because you think the tea tastes better in your
house? Yes, you're just comfortable
enough. Well, let me ask you this.
And what tea bags do you use? Punjana right or die?
Right or die? Jan is why you signed up to Bebo
in the first place. That was my other Hotmail
address too. The Punjabi Prince.
Oh. Man, this room's too warm.
Should open a window but but I enjoyed that a lot.
Poonjana bag dipper at the at lycos.net.
Do you ever remember Lycos used to let you send one free text
message but you had to keep resigning up for it every time.
You don't know how much of my life I wasted signing up for
that. This is the ultimate throwback
episode. Fucking Lycos.
I mean can. You hear me by the way, because
I feel like I have this mic plugged in, but usually you have
to do a thing before it works. So I feel like I'm maybe just
chatting to you through these headphones.
Yeah, No, it sounds. No, it sounds good.
That sounds good. Yeah.
Well, I mean, very, very enjoyable.
So you will, I mean, no one will know.
I didn't know that about you. And you're my friend.
Strangers won't know that about you.
Listeners will not know that the right setting you will drink cup
of tea. Will you just go for any cup or
you? Because this is kind of got
weird that the idea that you need to be in a certain setting
to have a cup of tea. Also, I was always a Tetley guy,
and then I discovered Barry's Green Green label.
OK. Yeah, the green label meaning?
Right Barry's, Barry's is an Irish tea that comes in a red
box, right? Like a red box like Punjana or
like Punjana or or PG Tips and or or obviously Tipley and.
I'm trying to think of more. I can't think of any more.
Someone in the comments section definitely will.
But yeah, so Barry's someone, one of the listeners was like,
you got to try Barry's. I went as the not just for that
reason. I saw Barry.
I got them. I liked it, but I got Yorkshire
tea as well. I like that.
Then someone else was like, what you need is the green Barry's
tea, Not green tea, just it's called gold, Barry's gold, Jesus
Christ. Jesus Christ.
Was it like luxury? Like why is it gold?
It's just it's something you would give an ambassador.
This is like black level tea stuff.
I feel like this is this is where you're like in the, you're
in the BDSM of tea essentially. Like you're bored of the kind of
normal, kind of standard tea, and now you got A to get a same
level of dopamine, you got to go away, but riskier.
Yeah, I sometimes, I'll be honest, I've got many different
teas in my tea cupboard that I put my hand in.
I don't know what I'm bringing it.
That's here, that's exciting, that's having life on the edge.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, yeah, I like the visuals
of you drinking tea and because you seem very guarded about it
or you like you need to be in the right setting.
So I think it's something you I think you would feel very
vulnerable if people saw you drink tea.
It is a personal thing, I think. Like, do you have a like I was
talking to a friend about this the other day where he was
saying he doesn't have cereal in anywhere anywhere but his house
because the experience is too intimate.
I wouldn't like anyone to see me eat cereal because when you, you
will get like a little bit of milk here.
So you do like quite a bit of a Hannibal Lecter gets, you know,
I don't like, I don't like people to see me do that.
I don't really eat cereal either.
But do you mean do I have a thing that I don't like?
I don't like anyone to see me do.
Yeah, yeah, well, eat, you know, do lads, you know.
Coke. What about the guy who just does
coke in his house by himself? Yeah, just gets the set and red
candles. And I don't know much.
I don't. I don't like to watch much of
the day with anybody else talking to me.
OK. What about someone sticks it on
and it's I'm like, I've an 8. They're like films.
You put on film and someone starts, you know, you hit play.
You're 5 minutes into a film and someone's like, what the what
are you at tomorrow? And you're like, no, what are
you doing? What's your film?
Yeah, no, I don't like that either.
I don't like watching films that I had planned to watch if I'm in
a group of friends because of that reason.
Yeah, because, like, you miss one crucial bit and then, you
know, for fuck's sake, like a sex sense, you know, you miss
the part where Bruce Willis is dead and it's just an under
underwhelming film. What?
What's your situation with stand up?
Have you done? You were out of gig that I was
at my first time visually. I've seen you in a long time.
It was a great moment. I.
Enjoyed it? Have you done any like gigs
back? You done a socially distance
stand up. First will be this weekend, I'm
doing the same gig that you did last week for Torio Angeloni's
garden gig. That'll be great.
Yeah, I'm looking forward to it because I went there because I'm
sure you were hanging the same yourself.
It's like if someone pitches to you like a garden gig at the
start of lockdown, you might have been like, no, there's no
fucking hope to that. But then you're 5 months date
and you're like, you know what? I would just love to do anything
that resembles a stand up gig, anything.
And then I went down and his is great.
Seem to be I was like he probably has the best and
Victoria was a guy who like lives in London from here.
Well, not like probably originally not like the family.
You've got to think call Victoria Angeloni.
You got to understand he's probably from, I don't know,
Limerick. And then when he, when he was
like, I'm doing this gig in my back garden and it's all
socially distance, as if you probably have the best
intentions for doing that. But actually executing that,
it's going to be really, really difficult in your own garden.
You don't have like staff or anything like that.
I reckon from seeing pictures of socially distance bar gigs and
stuff that have been put back all over the country, I actually
think his is probably the most responsibly ran because
everybody like, even though it was break because when you and I
know when you hear bring your own booze, you're like, oh for
fuck's sake. It's it's going to be rowdy and
stuff. But everybody just wanted it to
be like a really nice night and it was well set up.
Yeah, like APA, it did. It didn't feel just like a DIY
kind of thrown together gig. Felt that it felt great.
And yeah, I was, I was pretty sceptical of it as well.
Are you going to do so any any stand up spoken to about gigs
come back? Some people are like, I'm just
going to do tried and tested stuff because I just want to get
back to being on stage. And then half the people speak
to her like I just can't wait to try new stuff.
What are you doing? Scenarios is like I, I wrote
nothing until literally last week and then last week.
Since then I've been writing like every day.
But for the whole, I mean literally the whole some people
are like, you know, I've already wrote 9, but you know, they take
the odd bit down. I literally didn't even take out
my phone. Take notes.
Intent intentionally. You're like, I just want to
break from this. You just didn't feel inspired to
write anything. I think I did one time, like I
sat down to do it and then I was like, well, what am I writing
this for? Like when's will this be
relevant at all by the time I come around to do and stand up
again? It's just such a weird kind of
thing. And then I was like, when else
will you get the chance to like, not think about it for a while?
So I'll just, I'll just take advantage of it.
I mean, it was weird because just show me you put someone.
I put so much pressure on myself that day.
I was like very, very, very nervous.
I don't get nervous the day of the show.
I do get nervous when I get to the venue or whatever backstage,
but on the day I'm I'm fine. I woke up that day like proper
nervous. Like really, really nervous
drove their nervous backstage was even like a bit jittery.
William Thompson had chewing gum.
I hadn't seen chewing gum five months.
I was like, I don't even like chewing as I can have it and he
no. If if you were going to give me
chewing gum, if you had a packet of chewing gum, how would you
give me it if I asked for a bit? I would say it's probably
located in my right pocket. Take it out and then like give
it to you to take and then take your own bet.
All right, OK. I say I wouldn't.
And that's what he did. He did.
He threw it to me and I dodged it and let it fall on the
ground. And I went, I can't touch it
because you've touched it now. I think he thought maybe because
he's disabled, it was something like I was saying like you're
disabled. So I can't like him having that.
Like I didn't like it, but I had to say like, no, I because if
I'm giving someone chewing gum, I'm going to work it out of the
pocket into your hand. Yes, yes.
Because it limits the amount of bed you know.
Then I know you only take one bed.
Yeah, no, I'd like to give free rein.
I'm like, you know, let's see what you're about here.
So so how would you react if I if if I took three bits of
chewing gum from your pocket? I wouldn't say anything at the
time. I would.
I would let it. I would let it like, oh that
arrest and ferment, but in the back of my head I'd be like,
Shane's a greedy cunt. Yeah, three, far too much.
I mean, it's like someone who like, oh, you have a chip and
someone's like can have it and they take a handful.
Yeah, you're like storing that or something.
There's no need for you to take 3 bits of change them ever.
No disrespectful. What are you?
She had to like me. You had to cancel your Belfast
show and I don't know if you're going to tour around that, but
then have you put that all back to next year?
June next year. I remember even whenever it was
getting rescheduled first time round, I was like, oh, I can't
see it being this year. And then two weeks later they
were like, yeah, I think you're right.
We're going to do it June next year.
I was the same, unlike the eternal optimist Mickey
Bartlett. Right after that Mikey was going
to be like you see a guy that did the country concert Chase
Rice or something. Mikey was about to do like a
full blown pandemic denier gig which probably he's probably the
only comedian that would have sold regardless because most of
us audiences conspiracy theories anyway.
Yeah, I mean, I, I was messaging and being like, do you know
something I don't like if you who, who are you tight with in
the World Health Organisation? Because he was like, listen,
don't worry, it's three days away.
And I was like, I don't know if this is going to happen.
And then at the last minute, he's like, going to have to set
this back. It's like, yeah, global
pandemic, you know? Now, to be fair, part of me was
going, I really hope that he does prove everyone wrong and it
ends up happening like at the last minute because Can you
imagine being like one of the first gigs back for people in
general? It'd be so buzzing and it's at
your gig. Well, that's, that's I think
what's so good about I'm going, I'm going forward with it for
this charger, by the way. Shit, It's OK.
Yeah, all we're all good. And that's what I think is good
about the likes of these garden gigs because people are just
like buzzing that you're doing it.
And there is, there's a the reason I was nervous when I got
there as well as there's an awkward thing with the audience
for the first time ever that I've been to stand up, the
audience felt nervous as well. Everybody was a bit like out of
their comfort zone. And then once the night started,
it was like, oh, that's fucking lovely.
It just reminds everyone of why they're like going out to to
live stuff. Well, it's nice to know too that
like all the shows are selling pretty much instantly, so it
shows how that people are still very much interested in seeing
stand up even in these weird times.
Yeah, I think that's the thing you want not being biassed, but
I think that's the thing you would want to go and see at a
time like this. Yeah, like the comedy club or
you know, you just you just kind of escape from things a bit more
and just see driving home like you part of it is just as
missing stand up. Like I I nearly went on way too
long with that gig and I had that thought where it was like
no one's going to mind if I do another 10/15/20 and then.
I, I was like, no, do you know what?
It's, it's been so enjoyable. Like I, I don't want to fuck it
up. So I I just drove home with a
big smile on my face and it's first time for ages I've had
like almost like not being able to sleep adrenaline after.
Yeah, I don't I saw you, you were, you were like proper
proper on form like. I just felt and it was, it was
the excitement there was having been away from it for so long.
And whenever you do that gig and you get that first laugh, just
like you, like your heart balloons up.
Not in a bad way like, but you, you just kinda, I don't know,
there's just something about it where I was like, I did not
realise how much I missed this. I had a very interesting thing
happened just before that gig whereby I went up kind of last
minute with my, my friend Dom and we go up in the car and he
likes, he's standing over for the night.
So he parks his car up and we get a taxi.
We'll go a taxi in the way there.
Well, first of all, before I tell that right, one of the best
experiences of customer service I've ever had was over Belfast
Taxi Driver whereby I got the bus to Europa Bus Centre.
I come out and you know, as soon as you walk out there's like 3
or 4 taxis lined up right? Aggressively get yes.
Yeah, yeah. Like I woke up and the guy said,
come on, you meet me. I hop in the back seat and I was
meeting my friends at woodworkers.
So I get in and he goes, where are you for boss?
And I was like, woodworkers, please.
And he goes, fuck that. And I was like, where else will
this happen? And then I was like, oh, it's
beside libraries. Like it's literally the building
beside libraries. And then he goes, why the fuck
didn't you just say love, reason and Isaac, I admit, can you just
fucking take me there, you know? What I mean, I mean, I like that
he was perplexed. You didn't know.
He didn't know where woodworkers was.
Yeah, like most taxi drivers, most I'm not being like started
up but clear. But most would, if they didn't
know where you were looking to go and maybe grab the phone, do
a sneaky Google map, maybe look at like they knew all along.
Ask one of those. Guys, just straight away it was
like. I love that.
I don't know what the fuck that is.
So hold on, you went from OMA to Belfast by bus and then you got
a taxi to Woodworkers and then you went to the gig or by?
No, no, that was, that was a separate thing, right?
But but before that. So before the gig, me and Dom
get a taxi right to the Torios gig.
And on the way there I asked the tax man, I'm like, sorry, on the
way mate, could you stop at an off licence?
We're going to like a bring your own booze type of thing.
And he's like, oh, I don't know now I don't know.
Now there's a couple of roads here closing on where the hand
is going to be. And I'm just like, if it's not,
you know, no, I'm not crazy out of the way.
Like if there's something handy on right And he goes I do
actually know Spot. Yeah, yeah, I do.
And I was like, OK, is it like a Russell's or what?
News. I can't even mind.
It would be honest and then it drives us down right and stops
beside this building and goes to me and my friend Dom right lads,
us use there on the right and we get out.
Now this place, I'm not saying any of the place, but it's
literally a taxi office. And then we walked in and
there's like a wee hatch. Yeah.
Swear to God, because there's two vending machines, it's a
taxi office. And I was like, it can't be
that. It must be like around the
corner. We walk past it.
The guys do it in the horn being like, right, So we're like, what
the fuck is? So we walk in, we hatch.
I walk up like, kind of like, look around a bit.
Then the guy opens the Hatch and I'm like, you know, like you
feel like you're in a social experiment.
Yeah, yeah. You're like some like Youtubers
going to pop out and say something.
And I was like, do you sell alcohol?
Myth? Like, sorry to be really random
here. And he's like, what are you
after? And I was like.
It's like, don't be stupid. It's a fuck.
Then it's. Like but like whenever someone
says what are you after for alcohol, you just wouldn't know
how to react. So I was like, yeah, I'll take
do you do you have Stala? Yeah, you're trying to be as
general as possible. Yeah.
And he goes, I can't do that, mate.
But what I can do is 10 cure, 7 LB.
And I was like, yeah, I'll. Take that offer at all because
because when you're in that situation, you kind of feel like
there's a little bit of pressure on and you'll take what you're
given. So if he had to been like I'll
do you 10 cures here for £58, you go.
That's reasonable. That's reasonable.
The guy scurries, that's how the only way I can describe how he
went a scurried, like scurried to the back where it looked like
there was a kitchen. I don't know.
But like tiles of some description and I kinda so I
assume kitchen Tiberia brings me 10 balls of curves and like you
know the way like your mum would have a cupboard where she has it
stuffed full of plastic bags. Yep.
Right. Yep, for like your PE kit or
something. And he gives me one of them
bags, right? And it was the warmest beer I've
ever had in my life. But it was absolutely amazing.
It was, it was a real, genuine experience.
She think it's made text ahead and went stick stick those Coors
on the boiler like the guy doesn't know.
The guy doesn't know you're just supposed to be chilled.
Have you ever heard of this? Not the fact that that you can
actually walk into the taxi depot and buy alcohol, but I
definitely have heard taxi drivers come bring your booze.
I'd always felt like a playground myth to me.
I never actually heard of anyone doing that.
Yeah, no, I've experienced it and it was.
I mean, did you appreciate even the beers warm?
Did you appreciate them more because you were like, it's a
cool way I got these? We'll see.
Because of the fact that everything is so strange now, it
did feel like I was in. It felt like I was in the
Prohibition era where it was illegal to sell alcohol.
Yeah. Yeah.
So I grabbed these 10 warm beers, head to a garden gig and
I was like what the fuck is this year like?
Everything's just a new way of doing things, isn't it?
Like, yeah, even when you said about woodworkers, in my head,
I'm like, what would that be like?
Yeah, No, I'm, I'm like a like an old, you know, like a sort of
like Gandalf type guy who's never really experienced like
modern world. What is it like?
You know, I have no idea. Gandalf.
Yeah, when he's, when he's, when he's done a Chinese accent, that
is. But I, I just have no idea what
I mean, even the idea like table service and I have no idea what
it's like. And you, you, you will.
This will target your heartstrings.
Back on the radio last Friday, What?
What would I look forward to most about that?
You think if I'm going into Belfast the Dublin Rd.
Nandos. So also remind me to tell you a
great Nando story You obviously love.
So it's like happy days. We'll meet Nora before the
radio. Meet Dave Elliott and Dan Quick,
the producer who need to ask you about because he's from OMA and
I just want to play a do you know him because he's from OMA
game and as a boys will meet early Nando's.
It's on me. You know, I'm I'm going to take
the boys out. It's going to be a nice time
turn. By the way, I forgot my debit
card down on the pay for it, but I I like walked up to the door
and it was like, you know, that hall and Oates song what I want
you got there. I was like dandering up like the
chicken king is back. You know, the cheeky is boy and
Nando's back and then I put my hand on the door and it just
didn't open. Hey, they're only doing like
collection. Oh no.
And I gotta collect like, you know, I Rep I represent that
store very hard and I have a deep seated love for my heart is
in that shop. So I was like, I've got to get
take out. It's not going to be the same.
I got a kind of Coke 0 when I ordered through the app, didn't
put it in. Is that your biggest hit of
lockdown, would you say? What, is that the worst thing
that's happened to me? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think it's the worst thing of lockdown for anyone because as
we know, coronavirus is not real.
So this is something that really happened.
Yeah, I actually ordered a face mask on Amazon just as a hoax on
it. Yeah, but you still wear.
I love the idea that somebody would do that but still wear it.
What? I was Robin McShane came down to
Omar, you know, a comedian, Robin McShane from the very fun.
And he goes, fuck, this place is bosom.
Now, to be fair, that day Omar very packed, very busy, you
know, and I said as a joke, I was like, oh, the place is full
of pandemic deniers, right? The first guy we walk into
lovely guy right from school, some guy I need to put that I
need to make a clear to start, right, really nice guy, great
guy, really friendly, family oriented, good guy, right?
But he said we are obviously coronavirus came up in
conversation quite naturally and that he said he goes, it's
fucking crazy. I fabricated the whole thing is,
and I was like, is he about to spit like a real truth bomb here
on what's really going on? And it goes, you know, there's
people, right? This is how stupid it is.
And I was like, right, OK, this guy's common facts, right?
He goes, there's people that have had cancer 27 years and
then they get coronavirus and they die and then they're marked
as a coronavirus death. And I was like, first of all,
they still died of coronavirus, right?
But second of all, have you ever heard of someone having cancer
for 27 years? You go to the doctors and
they're like, you're like, doc, how long have I got?
And he's like 2 1/2 decades. It's pretty rough.
So there's like you might want to get your affairs in order in
the year 2047. You've got a full Jimi Hendrix
left. That's it.
By the way, I'm sorry to say you've got a quarter cent.
Things are going to start to move pretty fast because the
next time there's a solar eclipse, you're right, you're
right. You have exactly 27 Guinness
Book of Record. It's left in the shops before
it's time to go. Yeah, I mean, the thing, one
thing I I don't like conspiracy theorists being like, you ought
to question everything. I totally see the merit in that.
I don't have time to do it, but I'd see I see the merit in it.
But what I don't like is, and, you know, we're talking about
Mick being a conspiracy theorist and, you know, he definitely is
into him in Congress podcast. But what I like about them is
they they just like debate it. And they're like, this is my
take. This is what I think.
And it's sort of like fucked either way.
But the thing I can't stand online is people who are like
almost smug about it, you know, Yeah, people were like loads of
laughing emojis be like saying all you sheep need to wake up.
And there's a guy who DJs on a big commercial radio station
here. I don't you probably won't
figure out what station I'm talking about, but it wouldn't
be cold FM now. And he he every day he's like
he's like putting up all these laughing emoji things and he's
like, I called this back in March and it's like, yes, you
and 19,000,000 other people. You're fucking tinfoil hats.
I comment on under one of those things.
Why do I do that? I comment on under his thing.
You put something up about non COVID, like you say non COVID
related deaths or whatever. They've lied to us about this.
And I was like, I just wrote, why do you write about this,
like saying when you called it like you're predicting the end,
the Game of Thrones. Either way, people died.
Yeah, Like, either way, chances are someone, you know, like
their relative or whatever died of coronavirus now.
It's like a grasp of intelligence.
Yeah, it's, it's, it's something to do for quite a lot of people,
I think. And and then you you say, and I
don't know enough about it, right?
But a lot of what I'm seeing is very like in a roundabout way,
pro Trump. I don't know how Trump is doing
it, but I just know a lot of guys I know started off being
like, oh, fuck pedos. And I was like, Yep, I agree.
And then the next thing would be like Trump fucking he hates
pedos and I don't even like them.
That's what they all started saying.
I don't even like Trump, right? But I'm just going to say this.
And now they're just straight up getting fucking Trump 2020
scored into their heads accomplices.
I don't like Trump, but I will defend them online for six hours
at a time. Yeah, I mean.
Which I also love to about a DJ from over here, like being like
writing, like you fucking shape wake up and then 20 minutes
later they've been like, OK guys, so we got the killers here
coming in, Mr Bright sides dropping your seatbelts.
Sorry, what? That personality, it doesn't go
together with that job. You can't, you can't be a
Northern Irish DJ and it also be heavily red pulled on right wing
forums. We need to look into Pizzagate.
They need to investigate Pizzagate.
Speaking of pizzas, who's having a pizza party?
These guys are it's LMFAO party rock anthem.
Very convenient that they're looking for Madeline McCann
again in the middle of a pandemic.
OK, wake up, people. Eddie here is Ellie Golding.
Strange that Barack Obama's been very quiet during all this.
He's killed himself. This is Ricky Martin, and he's
Livin La Vida loca. Speaking of people that are on
Skyscanner for Epstein's island, that's Pharrell Williams speech
in Robert Thicke. Oh my God.
Ellen shot JFK this one. Speaking of which, we're flat to
the mat with a party had it's Richie Remo.
The funny thing about all the conspiracy there is they're
probably all right. What do you think?
I I literally right if it doesn't immediately affect my
day there and then and what I'm doing.
It sounds terrible but I don't care.
You're right, we get desensitised to so much.
Yeah, right. It was like Brexit.
I I said the only thing I need to know about Brexit is, well,
my bins going in a different day.
That's the number one priority I have is when my bins going
because I've been in that situation before.
We're putting my bin out in the wrong day and that fucking walk
of shame back through your head. Yeah.
With a full bin, because if you have a full bin, you can't make
it seem like it's an empty bin. You're on your way back with
because you've got to drag it a little bit more.
And yeah, that's all I needed to know.
Brexit. They're like, oh, fucking
recession economy. And like, yeah, that's terrible.
But like do we still get paid for gigs?
Exactly. It's weird, yeah.
It's like that thing of and it is probably ignorance in a way,
but I think we're it's just the way we're conditioned now where
you know, you'll you'll read about some tragedy that happens
somewhere in the world, like some complete catastrophe.
But you can scroll through that in the news feed and then read
another article about some celebrity thing.
It's and it's not like you don't care.
It's just that that's just the way it is.
No, almost like. Yeah, I.
Sorry, sorry. No, no.
No, I didn't have a point after that.
It was like it used to be you would you would like see
something like a headline. That was a really terrible
thing. Like, you know, anything someone
murdered here there and you'd be like, oh shit, that's awful.
And then you would have like the day at least to like from like
let it ferment away. But well, there is now if you
take if you do 1 swift scroll of Twitter, it's just tragedy,
tragedy, tragedy, tragedy. Like, you know.
Tragedy, tragedy making it Mickey.
This show still happening, guys, and I'm aware I fuck that up by
calling him Mickety, but these things happen.
I think I'm still good. Mickey's new show on the Oster.
All Mickey Tickety talk. Mickey D Boo everything,
everything's Mickey D Boo. It's not make coronavirus.
But then, you know, the way people are like all the
government are saying everyone like their muzzle on us by
putting us these, by putting these face masks on us.
What? What what are they getting out
of it? It's like the whole Flat Earth
thing. People are like the government
know one thing we know about anything is nobody can keep a
secret in the world. Yeah.
Like, and the bigger the secret, the more it's going to come out
at some stage. Yeah.
Do you think there's people with the knowledge and proof that
there is a Flat Earth and they're not saying anyone like
you would know? And also, what are they?
What's the benefit of there being a Flat Earth?
What's the benefit of like, lying the people of it?
I would like to think that if anybody new information like
that, there would be one night at an after party at 3:00 in the
morning. The nights kind of died down and
they're smoking a a fag outside and they just turn to the mint
and go. I have to tell someone this.
Mate, I don't want to melt your head here right?
But that listen, I know your taxi is coming in 2 minutes, but
listen, this here you can tell I don't know how to smoke.
Hold up the people you people used to do that in my school,
hold the cigarette the wrong way around and like do something
with it and then they breathe it out and then other people smoked
it. I don't know, it's weird do.
You want to hear something? You'll be very disappointed.
A man? Yeah.
I smoked my first cigarette two weeks ago.
Why now? Here's now.
Here's the thing. Wasn't entered.
I haven't been, let's say,
coffee, where it's a barrier you have to overcome and then you're
fully addicted. Well, I have a medical degree
and you just cough there, so I'm sorry to tell you you only have
57 years. I have to live because of that,
my friend. Time is taken.
And if I were you, I would get everything out of the way that
you needed to do. I would take things off that
bucket list every decade because right, so you smoke the
cigarette basically, start to finish.
Yes. I'm not disappointed.
I think now that I'm a I'm a dad guy.
You know, by the way, it's it's disgusting.
It's like me until now to say congratulations on this podcast.
I have wish you congratulations obviously personally.
What doesn't count until it's on this podcast?
That's true. Congratulations mate.
I. Appreciate that, but you
definitely run out of like patience for a lot of things.
Like if you told me that before, I would have been like me, then
I would have tried to talk to you at every smoking a cigarette
again. And now I'm like, why would I do
that? Because like you say, you're not
into it and it's just going to be a waste of both of our times.
But at the same time, you're a very naughty, rude boy.
And I don't ever do that. Don't ever do that.
And do you? So I smoked, I smoked, I
remember right. I've never smoked the whole
cigarette in my life. I've probably smoked the
equivalent of a cigarette, if you know what I mean, through
various draws. And when I say stuff like that,
I sound like an undercover police.
Yeah. Various draws, LD's, people you
set in your school. LD's.
What's that? Last draws LD's.
Genuine. I was the thing people used to
walk about. LD's.
LD's, LD's. That's hilarious.
Sometimes people have local things that don't make sense.
Like I think I've talked about this podcast before.
I worked on a Mace in East Belfast and people used to come
in and go already made things. What think card?
I was like, I don't know what a thing card is.
So it's like, you know, like a phone card or something.
They'll come in like me a thing card.
Put a fibre on the thing card. Dinner card.
That no I'm looking for 50 things on the card.
A thing is a bus pass. OK.
Thing that's a thing. Stick 50 things on that.
Very weird. We say thing for money like in
my group of friends. Oh, like 10 things.
Yeah, we would say like, you know, twenty thing, whatever.
Yeah. Oh just Dang, no S on the end of
it. No, no, no, no Dings.
Or I would look like such a deck in front of your friends if I
was like here. 50 Dings. Oh fuck thank God you told me
that. Nope, I like Nope 20 it's.
Nice. Yeah, I like.
Nope. Nope's good.
Nope. Dreams.
I like it. Nope's good.
Yeah, man. You say Nope, dreams.
The end of dreams. I don't know, just give it a
minute like Who Dreams? Who Dreams is this basketball
documentary that me and my mates Stevie and John were looking
someone to watch one day, just like sitting in the house, maybe
one like Friday night or something.
Someone's like stick something on.
I put on this basketball documentary.
I was like, this might be good. Most tragic Blake thing you'll
ever see. Just some kid trying to get out
of the projects. I think a few of them get out in
this one lad that's fucking still there.
And it was grim. Just made us really sad.
Well, you know. Not a lot of time you've been
looking, you've got to fill a podcast concert, which I think
if you get sad at some point, you just write out that.
Well, The Last Dance is a more upbeat one, I would say in Bath,
if we're talking basketball. Documentary specifically.
I thought the Last dance was good and I bought a retro
Chicago Bulls topple Rodman on the back and then, which is
fine, you know, it's a little bit bandwagon, which is again
something probably before child. I would have been like, oh man,
people jumping on the bandwagon. I'm just all about the
bandwagon. They just go for the bandwagon.
Nothing wrong with the bandwagon.
What's your biggest change now? Obviously it's very soon to say
like, but what's your biggest change since you've became a
father that you've noticed in yourself?
Put my hands on my hips a lot. OK.
Which is a bit of a dad move. And like, like time management
now I just don't have time to do things.
And before I would have tried to please all of the people all the
time. And I just go, Nah, my hands, my
hips. I'm like, Nah, can't do it.
Can't do it. Honestly, I suppose to have a
phone call with somebody last week, I just couldn't ever phone
them back really just didn't have time.
So yeah, I'm still I'm still figuring it out.
I mean, the big change is like I think being like probably
lesbian. So like I'll get like sick and
piss and stuff on my, I mean, that's just my own on like on my
T-shirts or like, or like my son will shit on me and you just
give it like a bit of a damp wipe.
But I don't care. I just kind of go about now with
a bit like I'm you become more functional as opposed to like
fancy, like don't get me wrong, like I can still turn it on, but
it's very, very rare. Like, you know, like if I was
going to the shop, I would. Who is that a?
Magical dwarf did. You just close that.
Did you just complete a level of zeal?
I also love my immediately when who the fuck is that?
Like a scene of a horrible yeah, I do notice the I do notice the
patience being cut of you. I like.
You know, you know, that reminds me of does that remind you of
anything with me, Me and you just doing 1 like that when we
went to see Drake, right? Which at the time is fine, but
now Drake's kind of way more like of like a like young girl
thing. I think the fact we went too far
to see him, I think it'd be acceptable if we saw him in
Belfast, but we travelled too far to see him.
We went to see Drake in Dublin, you and Doley and me and I was
walking on ahead and you tripped and fell into me as we're
walking to the venue. And I felt this like force and I
like went forward and nearly fell and YouTube burst out
laughing because I think you were laughing because you'd
fallen and you pushed me by mistake.
And I just heard you laughing behind me.
And I was like, I never met Dolly before.
Never. I hadn't seen you just on your
own with him. And I was like, maybe this is a
thing they do. They just fucking shove people.
And I was like, I could have, I, it was one of those ones were
like, listen, if I had my hands in my pockets and broke my neck.
So no one. So I, I turn around, I turn
around really angry and I, the fuck are you doing?
And you both looked, you both looked like your dad.
I just lost that after work one day.
And like, and then I, it took me so long to process what had
happened and you were like, like tripped and like momentum carry
me into you. And then I was like, to be fair,
that's way more realistic than the fact that a good friend of
mine in many years walking over a bridge and just fucking shove
me to the ground. But sometimes I think about that
and I laugh a lot. Because.
Even if you had to push me, why would I have been not annoyed
about it? Yeah, that level of paranoia in
your default settings mean you should never be a weed guy.
Oh no, what about the time where I spoke to someone we know
about, like I think we're going to a gig and I was like, and I
knew this person would have someone.
I was like, I was not the person you think it is.
I was like, I was like, here, I might be, I might be interested
in that. And the person was like, great,
you go person then was like, I'm not going to the thing, but I
probably get you someone. I was like never really done it.
And then he was like, listen, this guy is going to give you.
And at that point, I was out of my depth.
And I was like, This is why I don't do this and why I'm not
going to do it. And I sent the guy a message on
Facebook and said he goes, the guy has Wonka bars, like Willy
Wonka edible bars. And I messaged our mutual friend
and I said, I'm lactose intolerant.
Ask him if there's dairy in it. And he wrote back and he said,
he said, he said never do this. He's like, you don't ever need
to be in this game, you know? Oh my God.
He's like. The part that direct quote from
the person was if I asked my drug dealer that, he's going to
think I'm an informant, so that's why I'm not in that.
But that's like a beyond narc thing to say.
You would trust someone who said use this lactose dollar. 100%
and even if he had a said no what have been like what's the
gluten situation? Yeah, that's so funny.
But I like the idea of like a art, like an artisanal kind of
clean eaten dealer. You know a guy who's like,
listen, no dairy, no gluten, no soya, just 100% natural
ingredients. It's bound to be a thing.
Yeah. I I'd say there isn't a market
for it here, but I'd say it's, it's probably a thing.
Oh, no, not here. No, not here, no.
But yeah, LA yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure.
I I, there's so much I was going to chat to you about, but we
just never got around to it. And that's what I like about
this podcast and what I like about chatting your podcast,
Dirt Civil, you and Tim. Tim, let me ask you this, Tim,
Tim, it's APT as well as hosting the podcast with yourself, Tim
at the minute is doing training with Colin.
I am doing training with APT that Tim knows.
OK. And I just, I just, I just like
that, yeah. And I.
Think I know the PT as well that you're on a bit.
Matthew, Yes. Have you met him?
Or I know of him because Tim has mentioned that he was training
you. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's, it's it's fun. I like it.
It's good having like the kind of accountability of it or
something. But I just like the idea that
every local comedian gets like, they're like, you can't share.
It has to be a different personal trainer.
And then, like, whenever we come back to the scene, it's just
just like the Dream boys. Yeah.
It's like the Chippendales just coming out.
Just a bow tie on nothing else. And yeah.
Dirt civil every. What day of the week do you use
to the podcast? We put it out every Tuesday.
Every Tuesday, by the way, the New York work is sensational.
Oh, thank you very much. That is Emily Mcclements, local
girl, very talented. Very nice, very, very nice.
And yeah, so check that out. And you've got your inventorious
gig. You've got anything like before
the end of the year. I don't.
When's your shows next year? February.
OK. I'm going to tour February and
September next year with different shows.
Well, that's a. OK.
Yeah, because this shows I would be doing now.
So it's ready. It was ready before lockdown
because that's the natural what time it was going to have to be
ready. So I.
Feel weird to you doing that show in February do you think?
Because my show is about my ex-girlfriend and now it's like
3 years. Well, the good thing is it's not
topical, so I think it'll be fine.
But what I need to do now is park the material for a while
because I don't want to make myself sick of it before.
I don't want to be doing it for that'll be me doing it for like
a year because we're doing it before lockdown to try it.
So I think park it and almost like either practise the next
next stuff or just come up with some fun new stuff that can
throw away after a while. Yeah, that's sensible.
I feel like mine's going to be a little bit tough, tougher sell,
you know, because it's essentially a show.
It's like a breakup show. And then, you know, kind of come
on and you do some self deprecating material with that
and people are like made I've lost my job and people have
died. Like I don't yeah, who gives a
fuck? She ain't got to take away
Nando's. Like there's there's bigger fish
to fry. Lest we forget.
And yeah, you're you're Ulster. Hall in June, so next year,
yeah. That'll that'll be class.
I mean, it's it must be annoying that that got put back because
the best thing would like imagine who was it just got in
just before this was maybe it was Colin.
Colin got in at a brilliant time of.
January, yeah. Doing his plan shows and then
it's like, OK, they're out of the way.
Plan the next ones. Whereas you and I were just
about to go, yeah, so like have it put back.
It's it's sort of like, I definitely feel your pain on
that. So frustrating, but it'll be
you're going to get that filmed. I think so, yeah, I think so.
It'll it'll be it's definitely my biggest solo show yet, which
is crazy to think like I actually wasn't going to do it.
And then I think a couple people you included, I'm pretty sure
like we're like, no, you could do it.
Oh, every bigger venue I've done the there has always been a
change of I've always been like, no, not that one.
Yeah. You know, I'm like, no, no, no,
this is the one to stick at. Then Mandela Hall.
It was like, I should just always do this size.
And then all straws like that. It just, it continues to be
like, I think there's no, there's not much arrogance in
the local comedy scene. So no one's like, I should be
here. You know, it's kind of like you
do. Yeah.
No, we all have to talk ourselves into it and give me an
exclusive, right, Because that's what I'm all about, the
exclusives. You know the answer to this
question. What are you going to walk out
to? You know, You know what you're
going to walk out. To Igor's fame by Tyler, The
Creator. Big build up.
So I think you you put a lot of thought into that.
I do, I actually weirdly put quite a bit of thought into the
walk on music of a stand up show.
Like, probably more than you would need to.
But you. But I think you should because
it sets a tone. I think it's those two,
definitely. Set the tone.
I usually walk out to very like, you know, heavy, like BSc music.
And some people go, you shouldn't do that because then,
you know, it is where to just grab them.
Yeah, but you can match that energy.
Oh definitely, yeah. I mean it's all about how you
start your set. Yeah, pretty much.
And I think the best, my favourite walk out music, I'll
probably use it again, is Rolling Stones Start Me Up.
It's just like it's it's it's a fun song and it is like it is,
yeah. Like it's got the guitar.
And I love their own Stones. I like that.
Am I right in saying you walked out to trophies by Drake one
time? I don't.
I don't think it would have the balls for that.
I don't think maybe at like a gig we did for fun where
someone's like, what song? Oh, I know what it was.
Limelight, one of the charity shows.
Yes. Yeah, because that like that
doesn't match me. It records on my demo and then
it cuts. Hello Michael Macklemore was 1
elect as well. The first time I did Ulster Hall
was Macklemore. What was the song?
Fuck I can't remember. Not one.
I like the big hits but like a song as I really liked.
Oh, an album cut from Macklemore.
OK, OK, OK. Cut from Macklemore.
A demo wasn't a demo. This is one of the album that I
like. But yeah, that'll be, that'll be
so much fun. And you will enjoy it more
because it's been postponed, because it's like, yes, I
finally get to do this. I hope so because right now I'm
like, it doesn't even feel like I'm doing it anymore.
It just like feels very, I don't know.
But that's because whenever you, whenever we're gigging on the
scene, whenever you're doing clubs and stuff, you're like,
OK, I'm doing all this to build up to the big show that I'm
doing or, or some sort of event. You don't have that at the
minute. But once, once we start getting
into more regular gigs, you'll be like, yes, this momentum
takes me into that, that show. Yeah.
But it'll be great. I just can't wait to do stand up
again. And.
Sam. Just see all the boys again man.
Enjoy the enjoy the Punjama. And I'll take the tea as well.
Thanks mate. What we should, what we should
do is figure it a way next time we're getting together, if one
of us is em saying get that line in just in between us, you know,
like set it up every time and then just fucking strike it out.
Absolutely. Great to talk to you my man, and
I will see you soon. I love seeing your face.
I actually you'll be impressed. I know that that T-shirt you're
wearing is a little group called Run the Jewels.
OK. Run the jewels fast.
Don't mind it yeah so I'm going to change my e-mail address and
I'll talk to you soon. Cheers.
Thank you, slippers there we have at my chat with fellow
stand up comedian and friend of mine, Aaron McCann.
Hope you enjoyed that. Check Aaron out all social
media. Here's a podcast called Dirt
Civil, which you may or may not have mentioned on the podcast,
but I recorded this. But after the podcast was over.
So there you go. I also said great guy.
You might have said some of the podcast that really mugged me
off. I'm not sure, but let's just
enjoy it for what it was. I've got listeners questions and
I'd be really sly. I mean, not to answer them now,
earlier in the week we were back in studio, but that episode's
not going to be out for a little while.
And let me see what the zippers are saying.
By the way, it's so much better being back in studio than me
recording it via Zoom on a laptop that when although
Windows are closed because it looks like I'm doing a hostage
video. There you go.
Casper says. As a comedian, can you deduct
marijuana as a business expense? I mean, mad question.
I don't think you actually think I can and and for that reason I
don't know what the purpose of the question is, but I would I
would sincerely doubt it. Just poppers, I think.
Yeah, I would. I would write off about 10 grand
a year in tax just for poppers. Ozen Galley says.
Don't know what's the real one says.
What would you do to improve the rubbish that is building up in
Sea Park Hollywood? Again, bizarre question to ask
me. I think get ready for this, but
I think the answer might be more bins, something like that.
Or if it's people from Belfast come to Hollywood for the day
and they are littering and Magaberry, yeah, just like a
life sentence. Even if they're not littering, I
don't think anyone should be allowed down at Sea Park.
Lesson from north down area. We should be checking people's
address because the people from Belfast come down and they scare
the people from Hollywood because they play music on their
phones and they drink Wicked and we don't like it.
So what would I do? Yeah, just just give the police
more power. Really.
That's what I would like to see. And then under that then he he
just has a Twitter back and forth argument with with
somebody else. And I don't know why I'm I'm
being dragged into that. But that's just a thing.
We got forwarded an e-mail during the week, me and Britney
Spears dad to the official tea with me, which is, excuse me,
podcast@gmail.com. If you ever want to e-mail us
about anything, you certainly can do.
And the producer Dan has sent me it.
And I'll be honest, I should have it better to hand, but I
but I just don't. And producer Dan, the sad thing
is, will probably slap me for that.
They'll probably slap me around the face because that's what he
does. No, we do have more questions.
They come from the likes of Matthew Merlin, who says, are
the evenings gone yet? I don't know.
I haven't been outside in about a month.
I I reckon they're gone. But when I like, I think
whenever I'm allowed to go back outside again and whenever
you're allowed to like, you know, have play time, which I'm
not at the minute because you got to just, you know, be
responsible. Through your child and stuff.
I mean, my life really just are inside 24/7.
And I think when it gets here with December, when we are like,
you know what, we can, we can head out for an hour here.
I think, you know, get them minded.
I think I will keep December like it's still the summer.
So I'll still be going out Hawaiian shorts, putting time
lotion on and just sort of lying at the back.
So I hope the evenings are standing.
But either way, it makes no difference to me.
Patrick Quinn, AKA Belfast guy in China says how happy are you
with your most recent gigs? But often do you get a great
reaction and then just decide to run with that rather than moving
on to to a plan in your head? All the time.
Whenever I'm doing stand up, if you say something that comes
into your head or a bit gets a particular laugh or not a laugh,
then I kind of improvise like a lot of comedians would do and
maybe like do a new bit instead or, or I don't know.
I don't know. It's hard to describe.
Yeah, definitely run with what's happening rather than a plan,
because you can have a plan set out in your head and then it
just kind of goes to shit for for for good or bad.
Happy with most recent gig. The gig I did in the back garden
of a local stand up was absolutely incredible.
I did that last week. It was the it's called, by the
way. I'm sorry, but there's more
questions but I can't find them on my fucking phone.
And yeah, I did a gig in the socially distance comedy club at
the top of the Omer Rd, which is run by a stand up and for some
reason I'll not get his name out in case, I don't know, he goes
to Magabry or something for it, even though it's really, well,
socially distance. I was beyond happy with my set
because I have no, I had no idea how it was going to go with new
material. I've been rusty for four months
and I think it was fun. I got it videoed, I got a video
for youth charity who asked me to do something and I don't
think any of it's usable for a youth charity.
So no, I really enjoyed that. Oh, I know what it was.
I know it was from Noah Ballard and he sent me something during
the week and I don't know if I have it.
And that's not great podcast content.
And you're doing that. No, I've got it.
No, no. Ballard visited traditional
Chinese tea garden last week with at Philip Nesbitt.
And by the way, he's legally changed his name to that, AKA
the other Belfast guy in China. He says keep sipping.
And Noah is there preparing some very traditional tea.
And I like that you're called Noah because that's my son's
name and that's going to make me cry.
That's not. But I like that you're called
Noah. And I like that you have tea and
I like that you're with that Philip Nesbitt.
But what's, you know, what the zippers really like is there's
two Belfast guys in China and what I'd really like them to do
is meet up and have a cup of tea together because I don't.
One thing I know about geography is China is not that big.
It's about like Northern Ireland.
You'll probably get to each other in easily half an hour.
So just meet up, go to your Starbucks.
There's probably a Starbucks in China, I would say.
And then and just have a good time.
I think the zippers would really like that.
And maybe we'll make a documentary out of it that goes
in the Patreon. I'm not too sure.
I'll need to speak to Britney Spears about that.
Zippers. Hope you enjoyed my chat with
Aaron McCann. I'll see you on Wednesday and
Friday back in the studio, I hope.
Keep zipping. Visit thepatreonpatreon.com/TV

Goodbye.
