00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:25,960

Zippers, welcome to this episode

5
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,880
of the Tea with Me podcast with 
me, your big nature and Todd. 

6
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,720
Yes, I'm sitting in a room with 
all the curtains and blinds 

7
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,160
closed because my baby's here 
too. 

8
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,240
I'm by my baby, a dopamine 
producer, Dan, I'm in my actual 

9
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,560
baby son. 
Now here's the thing. 

10
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:43,440
It's warm outside. 
There's a heat wave. 

11
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,720
I'm annoyed that my son is warm 
and I've got to keep all the 

12
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,360
blinds windows closed, and I'm 
annoyed that I can't go out on 

13
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:54,160
bronze in this. 
So it's an angry start to the 

14
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,200
episode, but it's a guest 
episode. 

15
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,600

00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:35,120
shiny here on the video.

wearing hair product either 
Hair. 

28
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,320
It's a good time. 
My wife's got her haircut and 

29
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,400
I'm on daily duty. 
And what that means is you do a 

30
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,560
podcast. 
That's what that means. 

31
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,880
So it's a good time. 
Aaron McCann's on this is the 

32
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,800
Friday episode. 
We're back. 

33
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,760
Let me also plug, we're back on 
Radio Ulster tonight.

36
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,480
It's just a nice time. 
So zippers make your way over 

37
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,720
there. 
Also, we got merch which is on 

38
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,080

So it's she and Todd comedy on 

39
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:11,760
Shopify, which is Shopify. 
Shopify, you get the zipper 

40
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,280
T-shirt, money to T-shirt the 
mugs. 

41
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,520
I have a mug in my hand that I'm
trying to turn around. 

42
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:21,280
I'm making a really, really bad 
job of it and my mug says 

43
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:23,920
there's Prosecco in here and 
there isn't. 

44
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:28,880
There's tea. 
It's nice. 

45
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,320
So it's a great day outside. 
I can't go outside. 

46
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,560
I've got a baby. 
Great to have a baby also, but 

47
00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:36,760
also great to have a tan and I 
can't really have that at the 

48
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,720
minute, although I have a decent
baseline for the tan. 

49
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,120
So I can't be too annoyed. 
I can't be too annoyed. 

50
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,480
I've got iron on today. 
Then we're doing listeners 

51
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:49,480
questions. 
Strap in, my baby needs me to 

52
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,360
come and speak to him and that's
what I'm going to do. 

53
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,200
Keep stepping, keep living the 
dream. 

54
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:01,120
Oh shit, you did not connect the
audio. 

55
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:06,640
Have you connected the audio? 
Hello. 

56
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,800
Oh, yeah. 
Oh, yeah, right. 

57
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,320
Couple of things to get into 
straight away. 1 of water is way

58
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,840
too big. 
One of which is one of which is 

59
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,080
this right? 
I've got a big, big dilemma that

60
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,080
might that might fuck this 
podcast. 

61
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,080
I need your advice on this. 
Tell me what you would do if you

62
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,560
were in my shoes. 
OK. 

63
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:33,000
So I my laptop is currently on 
15% battery and he still he got 

64
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:38,040
ready for to record. 
So my Mac charger, you know, 

65
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,800
it's the metallic type charger. 
It was plugged in at the wall 

66
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:46,080
and I moved loads of stuff the 
the drag the laptop over. 

67
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,800
Very Long story short, pulling 
the laptop charger out, it went 

68
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:56,040
straight into my muggerty while 
it's connected now the light and

69
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,600
stuff still on. 
But do you think that if I plug 

70
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,720
that into my laptop, there's 
going to be a Chernobyl? 

71
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,160
I, I think, I think you'll be 
all right. 

72
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:04,880
Like, I don't think it'll be a 
Beirut situation. 

73
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,440
I think you should be good. 
But then again, I'm sort of 

74
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,920
thinking you and I might not be 
the guys that would know like 

75
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,080
that side of technology like 
like let's think about what 

76
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:15,320
we're talking about live 
electrics. 

77
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,600
I've just dipped it into a 
liquid, a new mere both like 

78
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,079
primary. 
Well, you could just say listen,

79
00:04:21,079 --> 00:04:23,680
try to record an episode of the 
podcast VAR McCann. 

80
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,400
And literally my laptop exploded
because we were talking. 

81
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,720
How much hate? 
Good hit or I mean it's going to

82
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,560
explode either way. 
What the other thing I've got to

83
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,840
get into is your e-mail address 
is very, very traditional, very 

84
00:04:34,840 --> 00:04:37,720
straightforward. 
And it didn't used to be a new 

85
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:43,480
on a personal level because I'm 
32 year old father and my e-mail

86
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,280
address has a reference to 
wrestling in it. 

87
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,920
But I think I think the people 
would not expect that of me. 

88
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,280
So I think people would just 
think it was coincidence. 

89
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,320
But wrestling fans like yourself
will understand the reference. 

90
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,120
But did I ever tell you what my 
I've had two e-mail address in 

91
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:01,480
my life. 
Did I ever tell you what my 

92
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,000
first e-mail address? 
Was I'm so excited to hear this.

93
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:05,520
Go ahead. 
You know who? 

94
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:06,520
Rio Ferdinand. 
This. 

95
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:07,600
Yeah. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

96
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:15,080
My first ever Hotmail address 
was Rio under slash Ferdinand 

97
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:22,680
under slash rules with 
az@hotmail.com and I was, I was 

98
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,600
adding everyone's sister, mom 
and girlfriend, the MSN 

99
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:30,320
Messenger, which when you saw 
Rio Ferdinand rules pop up, you 

100
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:36,080
were getting chat I think. 
I think if I ever for some 

101
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,840
reason met Rio Ferdinand, like 
some sort of corporate stand up 

102
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:42,680
event or some sort of TV thing 
and told them that story, be 

103
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,320
like, that's really fucking 
weird. 

104
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,600
I think the. 
This Ed makes it the weird 

105
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,400
weird. 
Did you have any other weird 

106
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,080
e-mail addresses before your 
last one? 

107
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:57,520
So I had my first like this is 
the Bebo e-mail address like 

108
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,240
when you when you make the 
address just so you can get 

109
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,600
people you don't even have any 
intentions of using MSN at the 

110
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,080
stage. 
Yeah, it's the thing that comes 

111
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:08,040
later is you mature. 
Yeah, I went for, I was like, 

112
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,760
right, make an e-mail address 
and then they have that at Dot 

113
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:16,640
co.uk and I was like, OK, I'm 
going to go McCann surname safe,

114
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,240
man. 
Yeah. 

115
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,720
RVD. 
Yep. 35. 

116
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,400
No, yeah, but you had that. 
That was yours up until what, 

117
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,320
last year? 
No, really. 

118
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,080
What I I have that e-mail 
address for you. 

119
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:33,560
That's why I asked you for your 
e-mail address. 

120
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,360
Yeah. 
I, I think, I mean, I'm keeping 

121
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,840
mine as it as it is because not 
that many people are going to 

122
00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:41,560
get it. 
And I think the people that do 

123
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:46,080
will like it, you know, like if 
it's someone from a professional

124
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,400
type thing to be more inclined 
to work with you, whatever. 

125
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,000
If they're like, I used to like 
Wayne Mysterio back back in the 

126
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,240
day. 
This first time we've seen each 

127
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,840
other in a long time, even 
virtually. 

128
00:06:55,840 --> 00:06:56,960
I got to ask you my first 
question. 

129
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,400
Ask everyone who comes on the 
podcast. 

130
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,280
Do you drink tea? 
Now? 

131
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,200
I don't know if I know this 
about you because we've known 

132
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,120
each other for what, seven 
years? 

133
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,600
Yeah, yeah. 
And you're a guy who will always

134
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,240
go to the novelty beverage 
before, like you're not a 

135
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,880
traditional beverage guy. 
I think that's fair to say. 

136
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,600
Yeah, yeah, you've been called 
worse than a than a non 

137
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,120
traditional beverage guy. 
Like if it's like the mad 

138
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:27,600
version of something like 
milkshake type fucking blended 

139
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,080
thing, that's what you're going 
to have. 

140
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,320
Does Iron McCann drink tea? 
I don't know the answer to this 

141
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,440
question. 
What would you think? 

142
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:37,840
I think in the right sentence, 
definitely. 

143
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,920
I think if someone's died, 
you'll have a cup of tea. 

144
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,800
You know what, you got it square
on there. 

145
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:48,120
The right satin be in my house. 
I don't like outside tea. 

146
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,240
Now, is this because you think 
the tea tastes better in your 

147
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,320
house? 
Yes, you're just comfortable 

148
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:56,840
enough. 
Well, let me ask you this. 

149
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:01,240
And what tea bags do you use? 
Punjana right or die? 

150
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:19,040
Right or die? 
Jan is why you signed up to Bebo

151
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:24,000
in the first place. 
That was my other Hotmail 

152
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,960
address too. 
The Punjabi Prince. 

153
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,480
Oh. 
Man, this room's too warm. 

154
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,559
Should open a window but but I 
enjoyed that a lot. 

155
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:39,720
Poonjana bag dipper at the at 
lycos.net. 

156
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,800
Do you ever remember Lycos used 
to let you send one free text 

157
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,280
message but you had to keep 
resigning up for it every time. 

158
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,000
You don't know how much of my 
life I wasted signing up for 

159
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,680
that. 
This is the ultimate throwback 

160
00:08:57,680 --> 00:08:59,800
episode. 
Fucking Lycos. 

161
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:01,120
I mean can. 
You hear me by the way, because 

162
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,560
I feel like I have this mic 
plugged in, but usually you have

163
00:09:03,560 --> 00:09:06,200
to do a thing before it works. 
So I feel like I'm maybe just 

164
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:07,560
chatting to you through these 
headphones. 

165
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,000
Yeah, No, it sounds. 
No, it sounds good. 

166
00:09:09,560 --> 00:09:11,080
That sounds good. 
Yeah. 

167
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,720
Well, I mean, very, very 
enjoyable. 

168
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,800
So you will, I mean, no one will
know. 

169
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,040
I didn't know that about you. 
And you're my friend. 

170
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:18,800
Strangers won't know that about 
you. 

171
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,200
Listeners will not know that the
right setting you will drink cup

172
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,440
of tea. 
Will you just go for any cup or 

173
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:25,640
you? 
Because this is kind of got 

174
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,640
weird that the idea that you 
need to be in a certain setting 

175
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:33,600
to have a cup of tea. 
Also, I was always a Tetley guy,

176
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,080
and then I discovered Barry's 
Green Green label. 

177
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,920
OK. 
Yeah, the green label meaning? 

178
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:47,920
Right Barry's, Barry's is an 
Irish tea that comes in a red 

179
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,480
box, right? 
Like a red box like Punjana or 

180
00:09:53,520 --> 00:10:05,080
like Punjana or or PG Tips and 
or or obviously Tipley and. 

181
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:20,000
I'm trying to think of more. 
I can't think of any more. 

182
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,760
Someone in the comments section 
definitely will. 

183
00:10:22,680 --> 00:10:25,920
But yeah, so Barry's someone, 
one of the listeners was like, 

184
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,520
you got to try Barry's. 
I went as the not just for that 

185
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:30,640
reason. 
I saw Barry. 

186
00:10:30,680 --> 00:10:33,360
I got them. 
I liked it, but I got Yorkshire 

187
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:34,560
tea as well. 
I like that. 

188
00:10:34,560 --> 00:10:38,520
Then someone else was like, what
you need is the green Barry's 

189
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,400
tea, Not green tea, just it's 
called gold, Barry's gold, Jesus

190
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,120
Christ. 
Jesus Christ. 

191
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,320
Was it like luxury? 
Like why is it gold? 

192
00:10:49,680 --> 00:10:52,240
It's just it's something you 
would give an ambassador. 

193
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,680
This is like black level tea 
stuff. 

194
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,400
I feel like this is this is 
where you're like in the, you're

195
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:02,320
in the BDSM of tea essentially. 
Like you're bored of the kind of

196
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,920
normal, kind of standard tea, 
and now you got A to get a same 

197
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,000
level of dopamine, you got to go
away, but riskier. 

198
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:13,160
Yeah, I sometimes, I'll be 
honest, I've got many different 

199
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,240
teas in my tea cupboard that I 
put my hand in. 

200
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:16,320
I don't know what I'm bringing 
it. 

201
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,320
That's here, that's exciting, 
that's having life on the edge. 

202
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,280
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 
I mean, yeah, I like the visuals

203
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:28,200
of you drinking tea and because 
you seem very guarded about it 

204
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:29,520
or you like you need to be in 
the right setting. 

205
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,840
So I think it's something you I 
think you would feel very 

206
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,880
vulnerable if people saw you 
drink tea. 

207
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,280
It is a personal thing, I think.
Like, do you have a like I was 

208
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,720
talking to a friend about this 
the other day where he was 

209
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:45,440
saying he doesn't have cereal in
anywhere anywhere but his house 

210
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,640
because the experience is too 
intimate. 

211
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:52,240
I wouldn't like anyone to see me
eat cereal because when you, you

212
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,120
will get like a little bit of 
milk here. 

213
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,960
So you do like quite a bit of a 
Hannibal Lecter gets, you know, 

214
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,160
I don't like, I don't like 
people to see me do that. 

215
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:00,280
I don't really eat cereal 
either. 

216
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,080
But do you mean do I have a 
thing that I don't like? 

217
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:04,480
I don't like anyone to see me 
do. 

218
00:12:04,560 --> 00:12:08,840
Yeah, yeah, well, eat, you know,
do lads, you know. 

219
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:14,720
Coke. 
What about the guy who just does

220
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,680
coke in his house by himself? 
Yeah, just gets the set and red 

221
00:12:17,680 --> 00:12:23,240
candles. 
And I don't know much. 

222
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:24,480
I don't. 
I don't like to watch much of 

223
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,080
the day with anybody else 
talking to me. 

224
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,160
OK. 
What about someone sticks it on 

225
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,520
and it's I'm like, I've an 8. 
They're like films. 

226
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,160
You put on film and someone 
starts, you know, you hit play. 

227
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,080
You're 5 minutes into a film and
someone's like, what the what 

228
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:38,640
are you at tomorrow? 
And you're like, no, what are 

229
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:39,360
you doing? 
What's your film? 

230
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:40,560
Yeah, no, I don't like that 
either. 

231
00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:43,920
I don't like watching films that
I had planned to watch if I'm in

232
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,160
a group of friends because of 
that reason. 

233
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,360
Yeah, because, like, you miss 
one crucial bit and then, you 

234
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,800
know, for fuck's sake, like a 
sex sense, you know, you miss 

235
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,760
the part where Bruce Willis is 
dead and it's just an under 

236
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,320
underwhelming film. 
What? 

237
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,440
What's your situation with stand
up? 

238
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,840
Have you done? 
You were out of gig that I was 

239
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,600
at my first time visually. 
I've seen you in a long time. 

240
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:08,920
It was a great moment. 
I. 

241
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,560
Enjoyed it? 
Have you done any like gigs 

242
00:13:11,560 --> 00:13:13,160
back? 
You done a socially distance 

243
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,400
stand up. 
First will be this weekend, I'm 

244
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,000
doing the same gig that you did 
last week for Torio Angeloni's 

245
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:21,840
garden gig. 
That'll be great. 

246
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,080
Yeah, I'm looking forward to it 
because I went there because I'm

247
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:26,360
sure you were hanging the same 
yourself. 

248
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,120
It's like if someone pitches to 
you like a garden gig at the 

249
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,000
start of lockdown, you might 
have been like, no, there's no 

250
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,480
fucking hope to that. 
But then you're 5 months date 

251
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,160
and you're like, you know what? 
I would just love to do anything

252
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,320
that resembles a stand up gig, 
anything. 

253
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,560
And then I went down and his is 
great. 

254
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,000
Seem to be I was like he 
probably has the best and 

255
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,200
Victoria was a guy who like 
lives in London from here. 

256
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,880
Well, not like probably 
originally not like the family. 

257
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,400
You've got to think call 
Victoria Angeloni. 

258
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,080
You got to understand he's 
probably from, I don't know, 

259
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,240
Limerick. 
And then when he, when he was 

260
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,200
like, I'm doing this gig in my 
back garden and it's all 

261
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,880
socially distance, as if you 
probably have the best 

262
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,400
intentions for doing that. 
But actually executing that, 

263
00:14:09,560 --> 00:14:12,480
it's going to be really, really 
difficult in your own garden. 

264
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,920
You don't have like staff or 
anything like that. 

265
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,960
I reckon from seeing pictures of
socially distance bar gigs and 

266
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,760
stuff that have been put back 
all over the country, I actually

267
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:27,280
think his is probably the most 
responsibly ran because 

268
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,400
everybody like, even though it 
was break because when you and I

269
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,760
know when you hear bring your 
own booze, you're like, oh for 

270
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,600
fuck's sake. 
It's it's going to be rowdy and 

271
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,800
stuff. 
But everybody just wanted it to 

272
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,960
be like a really nice night and 
it was well set up. 

273
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,560
Yeah, like APA, it did. 
It didn't feel just like a DIY 

274
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,040
kind of thrown together gig. 
Felt that it felt great. 

275
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,920
And yeah, I was, I was pretty 
sceptical of it as well. 

276
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,000
Are you going to do so any any 
stand up spoken to about gigs 

277
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,080
come back? 
Some people are like, I'm just 

278
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,720
going to do tried and tested 
stuff because I just want to get

279
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,720
back to being on stage. 
And then half the people speak 

280
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,760
to her like I just can't wait to
try new stuff. 

281
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,720
What are you doing? 
Scenarios is like I, I wrote 

282
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,920
nothing until literally last 
week and then last week. 

283
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,440
Since then I've been writing 
like every day. 

284
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,520
But for the whole, I mean 
literally the whole some people 

285
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,080
are like, you know, I've already
wrote 9, but you know, they take

286
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:23,840
the odd bit down. 
I literally didn't even take out

287
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:24,760
my phone. 
Take notes. 

288
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,040
Intent intentionally. 
You're like, I just want to 

289
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:28,680
break from this. 
You just didn't feel inspired to

290
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,040
write anything. 
I think I did one time, like I 

291
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,840
sat down to do it and then I was
like, well, what am I writing 

292
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,680
this for? 
Like when's will this be 

293
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,480
relevant at all by the time I 
come around to do and stand up 

294
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,800
again? 
It's just such a weird kind of 

295
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,080
thing. 
And then I was like, when else 

296
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,760
will you get the chance to like,
not think about it for a while? 

297
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,960
So I'll just, I'll just take 
advantage of it. 

298
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:54,120
I mean, it was weird because 
just show me you put someone. 

299
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,000
I put so much pressure on myself
that day. 

300
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,080
I was like very, very, very 
nervous. 

301
00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:59,600
I don't get nervous the day of 
the show. 

302
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,720
I do get nervous when I get to 
the venue or whatever backstage,

303
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,880
but on the day I'm I'm fine. 
I woke up that day like proper 

304
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:08,600
nervous. 
Like really, really nervous 

305
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,680
drove their nervous backstage 
was even like a bit jittery. 

306
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:14,800
William Thompson had chewing 
gum. 

307
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,160
I hadn't seen chewing gum five 
months. 

308
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,760
I was like, I don't even like 
chewing as I can have it and he 

309
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,680
no. 
If if you were going to give me 

310
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,400
chewing gum, if you had a packet
of chewing gum, how would you 

311
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:27,720
give me it if I asked for a bit?
I would say it's probably 

312
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,720
located in my right pocket. 
Take it out and then like give 

313
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:33,400
it to you to take and then take 
your own bet. 

314
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,080
All right, OK. 
I say I wouldn't. 

315
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:37,320
And that's what he did. 
He did. 

316
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,520
He threw it to me and I dodged 
it and let it fall on the 

317
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:42,920
ground. 
And I went, I can't touch it 

318
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,760
because you've touched it now. 
I think he thought maybe because

319
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,120
he's disabled, it was something 
like I was saying like you're 

320
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,480
disabled. 
So I can't like him having that.

321
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,280
Like I didn't like it, but I had
to say like, no, I because if 

322
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,600
I'm giving someone chewing gum, 
I'm going to work it out of the 

323
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:01,000
pocket into your hand. 
Yes, yes. 

324
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,200
Because it limits the amount of 
bed you know. 

325
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:04,400
Then I know you only take one 
bed. 

326
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:06,359
Yeah, no, I'd like to give free 
rein. 

327
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,040
I'm like, you know, let's see 
what you're about here. 

328
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,680
So so how would you react if I 
if if I took three bits of 

329
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,119
chewing gum from your pocket? 
I wouldn't say anything at the 

330
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:15,040
time. 
I would. 

331
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,839
I would let it. 
I would let it like, oh that 

332
00:17:17,839 --> 00:17:20,119
arrest and ferment, but in the 
back of my head I'd be like, 

333
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,040
Shane's a greedy cunt. 
Yeah, three, far too much. 

334
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,280
I mean, it's like someone who 
like, oh, you have a chip and 

335
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,319
someone's like can have it and 
they take a handful. 

336
00:17:27,839 --> 00:17:29,440
Yeah, you're like storing that 
or something. 

337
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,720
There's no need for you to take 
3 bits of change them ever. 

338
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,800
No disrespectful. 
What are you? 

339
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,600
She had to like me. 
You had to cancel your Belfast 

340
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,440
show and I don't know if you're 
going to tour around that, but 

341
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,960
then have you put that all back 
to next year? 

342
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,400
June next year. 
I remember even whenever it was 

343
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:51,520
getting rescheduled first time 
round, I was like, oh, I can't 

344
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:56,000
see it being this year. 
And then two weeks later they 

345
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,600
were like, yeah, I think you're 
right. 

346
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,240
We're going to do it June next 
year. 

347
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,680
I was the same, unlike the 
eternal optimist Mickey 

348
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,520
Bartlett. 
Right after that Mikey was going

349
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,880
to be like you see a guy that 
did the country concert Chase 

350
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,080
Rice or something. 
Mikey was about to do like a 

351
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,800
full blown pandemic denier gig 
which probably he's probably the

352
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,760
only comedian that would have 
sold regardless because most of 

353
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,120
us audiences conspiracy theories
anyway. 

354
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,240
Yeah, I mean, I, I was messaging
and being like, do you know 

355
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,880
something I don't like if you 
who, who are you tight with in 

356
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,480
the World Health Organisation? 
Because he was like, listen, 

357
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,080
don't worry, it's three days 
away. 

358
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,200
And I was like, I don't know if 
this is going to happen. 

359
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,320
And then at the last minute, 
he's like, going to have to set 

360
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,040
this back. 
It's like, yeah, global 

361
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,800
pandemic, you know? 
Now, to be fair, part of me was 

362
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,680
going, I really hope that he 
does prove everyone wrong and it

363
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,560
ends up happening like at the 
last minute because Can you 

364
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:59,200
imagine being like one of the 
first gigs back for people in 

365
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,120
general? 
It'd be so buzzing and it's at 

366
00:19:01,120 --> 00:19:04,000
your gig. 
Well, that's, that's I think 

367
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,960
what's so good about I'm going, 
I'm going forward with it for 

368
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:12,040
this charger, by the way. 
Shit, It's OK. 

369
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:16,080
Yeah, all we're all good. 
And that's what I think is good 

370
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,120
about the likes of these garden 
gigs because people are just 

371
00:19:19,120 --> 00:19:20,720
like buzzing that you're doing 
it. 

372
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,280
And there is, there's a the 
reason I was nervous when I got 

373
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,960
there as well as there's an 
awkward thing with the audience 

374
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,880
for the first time ever that 
I've been to stand up, the 

375
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,280
audience felt nervous as well. 
Everybody was a bit like out of 

376
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,320
their comfort zone. 
And then once the night started,

377
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:37,760
it was like, oh, that's fucking 
lovely. 

378
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,960
It just reminds everyone of why 
they're like going out to to 

379
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:42,920
live stuff. 
Well, it's nice to know too that

380
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:47,400
like all the shows are selling 
pretty much instantly, so it 

381
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,160
shows how that people are still 
very much interested in seeing 

382
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,760
stand up even in these weird 
times. 

383
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,280
Yeah, I think that's the thing 
you want not being biassed, but 

384
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,520
I think that's the thing you 
would want to go and see at a 

385
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,960
time like this. 
Yeah, like the comedy club or 

386
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:05,000
you know, you just you just kind
of escape from things a bit more

387
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:09,800
and just see driving home like 
you part of it is just as 

388
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,760
missing stand up. 
Like I I nearly went on way too 

389
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,240
long with that gig and I had 
that thought where it was like 

390
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,840
no one's going to mind if I do 
another 10/15/20 and then. 

391
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:21,200
I, I was like, no, do you know 
what? 

392
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:25,000
It's, it's been so enjoyable. 
Like I, I don't want to fuck it 

393
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,440
up. 
So I I just drove home with a 

394
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,000
big smile on my face and it's 
first time for ages I've had 

395
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:34,120
like almost like not being able 
to sleep adrenaline after. 

396
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,920
Yeah, I don't I saw you, you 
were, you were like proper 

397
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,640
proper on form like. 
I just felt and it was, it was 

398
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,160
the excitement there was having 
been away from it for so long. 

399
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:48,080
And whenever you do that gig and
you get that first laugh, just 

400
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:49,760
like you, like your heart 
balloons up. 

401
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,560
Not in a bad way like, but you, 
you just kinda, I don't know, 

402
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,720
there's just something about it 
where I was like, I did not 

403
00:20:55,720 --> 00:21:00,240
realise how much I missed this. 
I had a very interesting thing 

404
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,640
happened just before that gig 
whereby I went up kind of last 

405
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:14,840
minute with my, my friend Dom 
and we go up in the car and he 

406
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:16,160
likes, he's standing over for 
the night. 

407
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,400
So he parks his car up and we 
get a taxi. 

408
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:20,600
We'll go a taxi in the way 
there. 

409
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,480
Well, first of all, before I 
tell that right, one of the best

410
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:29,880
experiences of customer service 
I've ever had was over Belfast 

411
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:34,120
Taxi Driver whereby I got the 
bus to Europa Bus Centre. 

412
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,880
I come out and you know, as soon
as you walk out there's like 3 

413
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,800
or 4 taxis lined up right? 
Aggressively get yes. 

414
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:46,000
Yeah, yeah. 
Like I woke up and the guy said,

415
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,800
come on, you meet me. 
I hop in the back seat and I was

416
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,720
meeting my friends at 
woodworkers. 

417
00:21:52,120 --> 00:21:55,080
So I get in and he goes, where 
are you for boss? 

418
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,080
And I was like, woodworkers, 
please. 

419
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:05,160
And he goes, fuck that. 
And I was like, where else will 

420
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,240
this happen? 
And then I was like, oh, it's 

421
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,200
beside libraries. 
Like it's literally the building

422
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,960
beside libraries. 
And then he goes, why the fuck 

423
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:16,200
didn't you just say love, reason
and Isaac, I admit, can you just

424
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:25,760
fucking take me there, you know?
What I mean, I mean, I like that

425
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,280
he was perplexed. 
You didn't know. 

426
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:30,880
He didn't know where woodworkers
was. 

427
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:35,320
Yeah, like most taxi drivers, 
most I'm not being like started 

428
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,200
up but clear. 
But most would, if they didn't 

429
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:43,000
know where you were looking to 
go and maybe grab the phone, do 

430
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,760
a sneaky Google map, maybe look 
at like they knew all along. 

431
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,240
Ask one of those. 
Guys, just straight away it was 

432
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:49,040
like. 
I love that. 

433
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:50,560
I don't know what the fuck that 
is. 

434
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:56,200
So hold on, you went from OMA to
Belfast by bus and then you got 

435
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,040
a taxi to Woodworkers and then 
you went to the gig or by? 

436
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,240
No, no, that was, that was a 
separate thing, right? 

437
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,800
But but before that. 
So before the gig, me and Dom 

438
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,560
get a taxi right to the Torios 
gig. 

439
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,080
And on the way there I asked the
tax man, I'm like, sorry, on the

440
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,240
way mate, could you stop at an 
off licence? 

441
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,160
We're going to like a bring your
own booze type of thing. 

442
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,320
And he's like, oh, I don't know 
now I don't know. 

443
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,680
Now there's a couple of roads 
here closing on where the hand 

444
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,480
is going to be. 
And I'm just like, if it's not, 

445
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,480
you know, no, I'm not crazy out 
of the way. 

446
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,480
Like if there's something handy 
on right And he goes I do 

447
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,040
actually know Spot. 
Yeah, yeah, I do. 

448
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,960
And I was like, OK, is it like a
Russell's or what? 

449
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:37,320
News. 
I can't even mind. 

450
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:41,680
It would be honest and then it 
drives us down right and stops 

451
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,960
beside this building and goes to
me and my friend Dom right lads,

452
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,640
us use there on the right and we
get out. 

453
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,320
Now this place, I'm not saying 
any of the place, but it's 

454
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:56,000
literally a taxi office. 
And then we walked in and 

455
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,360
there's like a wee hatch. 
Yeah. 

456
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,520
Swear to God, because there's 
two vending machines, it's a 

457
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,400
taxi office. 
And I was like, it can't be 

458
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:03,240
that. 
It must be like around the 

459
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,360
corner. 
We walk past it. 

460
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:10,280
The guys do it in the horn being
like, right, So we're like, what

461
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,400
the fuck is? 
So we walk in, we hatch. 

462
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,120
I walk up like, kind of like, 
look around a bit. 

463
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,920
Then the guy opens the Hatch and
I'm like, you know, like you 

464
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:22,480
feel like you're in a social 
experiment. 

465
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,160
Yeah, yeah. 
You're like some like Youtubers 

466
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:25,360
going to pop out and say 
something. 

467
00:24:25,360 --> 00:24:29,000
And I was like, do you sell 
alcohol? 

468
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,120
Myth? 
Like, sorry to be really random 

469
00:24:31,120 --> 00:24:32,320
here. 
And he's like, what are you 

470
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,520
after? 
And I was like. 

471
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,280
It's like, don't be stupid. 
It's a fuck. 

472
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:41,400
Then it's. 
Like but like whenever someone 

473
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,080
says what are you after for 
alcohol, you just wouldn't know 

474
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,240
how to react. 
So I was like, yeah, I'll take 

475
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,600
do you do you have Stala? 
Yeah, you're trying to be as 

476
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,040
general as possible. 
Yeah. 

477
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:54,560
And he goes, I can't do that, 
mate. 

478
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:58,600
But what I can do is 10 cure, 7 
LB. 

479
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:03,320
And I was like, yeah, I'll. 
Take that offer at all because 

480
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,280
because when you're in that 
situation, you kind of feel like

481
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,240
there's a little bit of pressure
on and you'll take what you're 

482
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,240
given. 
So if he had to been like I'll 

483
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,600
do you 10 cures here for £58, 
you go. 

484
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,320
That's reasonable. 
That's reasonable. 

485
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,600
The guy scurries, that's how the
only way I can describe how he 

486
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:28,080
went a scurried, like scurried 
to the back where it looked like

487
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:29,400
there was a kitchen. 
I don't know. 

488
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,280
But like tiles of some 
description and I kinda so I 

489
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,520
assume kitchen Tiberia brings me
10 balls of curves and like you 

490
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:40,320
know the way like your mum would
have a cupboard where she has it

491
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,760
stuffed full of plastic bags. 
Yep. 

492
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,920
Right. 
Yep, for like your PE kit or 

493
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,960
something. 
And he gives me one of them 

494
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,800
bags, right? 
And it was the warmest beer I've

495
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,680
ever had in my life. 
But it was absolutely amazing. 

496
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,200
It was, it was a real, genuine 
experience. 

497
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,320
She think it's made text ahead 
and went stick stick those Coors

498
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:04,880
on the boiler like the guy 
doesn't know. 

499
00:26:05,120 --> 00:26:07,400
The guy doesn't know you're just
supposed to be chilled. 

500
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:12,920
Have you ever heard of this? 
Not the fact that that you can 

501
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,360
actually walk into the taxi 
depot and buy alcohol, but I 

502
00:26:15,360 --> 00:26:18,680
definitely have heard taxi 
drivers come bring your booze. 

503
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,480
I'd always felt like a 
playground myth to me. 

504
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,240
I never actually heard of anyone
doing that. 

505
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,400
Yeah, no, I've experienced it 
and it was. 

506
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,000
I mean, did you appreciate even 
the beers warm? 

507
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,400
Did you appreciate them more 
because you were like, it's a 

508
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,240
cool way I got these? 
We'll see. 

509
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:39,440
Because of the fact that 
everything is so strange now, it

510
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,560
did feel like I was in. 
It felt like I was in the 

511
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,520
Prohibition era where it was 
illegal to sell alcohol. 

512
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:45,520
Yeah. 
Yeah. 

513
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,800
So I grabbed these 10 warm 
beers, head to a garden gig and 

514
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:50,600
I was like what the fuck is this
year like? 

515
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,400
Everything's just a new way of 
doing things, isn't it? 

516
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,640
Like, yeah, even when you said 
about woodworkers, in my head, 

517
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:57,960
I'm like, what would that be 
like? 

518
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:04,040
Yeah, No, I'm, I'm like a like 
an old, you know, like a sort of

519
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:08,640
like Gandalf type guy who's 
never really experienced like 

520
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,800
modern world. 
What is it like? 

521
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,600
You know, I have no idea. 
Gandalf. 

522
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,480
Yeah, when he's, when he's, when
he's done a Chinese accent, that

523
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:22,920
is. 
But I, I just have no idea what 

524
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:28,960
I mean, even the idea like table
service and I have no idea what 

525
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,000
it's like. 
And you, you, you will. 

526
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:33,960
This will target your 
heartstrings. 

527
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,920
Back on the radio last Friday, 
What? 

528
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:38,680
What would I look forward to 
most about that? 

529
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,400
You think if I'm going into 
Belfast the Dublin Rd. 

530
00:27:42,360 --> 00:27:46,800
Nandos. 
So also remind me to tell you a 

531
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:48,200
great Nando story You obviously 
love. 

532
00:27:49,120 --> 00:27:51,240
So it's like happy days. 
We'll meet Nora before the 

533
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,400
radio. 
Meet Dave Elliott and Dan Quick,

534
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,520
the producer who need to ask you
about because he's from OMA and 

535
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,320
I just want to play a do you 
know him because he's from OMA 

536
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:02,240
game and as a boys will meet 
early Nando's. 

537
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,200
It's on me. 
You know, I'm I'm going to take 

538
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:05,720
the boys out. 
It's going to be a nice time 

539
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:06,960
turn. 
By the way, I forgot my debit 

540
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:11,920
card down on the pay for it, but
I I like walked up to the door 

541
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:18,240
and it was like, you know, that 
hall and Oates song what I want 

542
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,200
you got there. 
I was like dandering up like the

543
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,280
chicken king is back. 
You know, the cheeky is boy and 

544
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:27,400
Nando's back and then I put my 
hand on the door and it just 

545
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,760
didn't open. 
Hey, they're only doing like 

546
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,840
collection. 
Oh no. 

547
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,200
And I gotta collect like, you 
know, I Rep I represent that 

548
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:41,200
store very hard and I have a 
deep seated love for my heart is

549
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,200
in that shop. 
So I was like, I've got to get 

550
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:45,640
take out. 
It's not going to be the same. 

551
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,640
I got a kind of Coke 0 when I 
ordered through the app, didn't 

552
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:55,240
put it in. 
Is that your biggest hit of 

553
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,280
lockdown, would you say? 
What, is that the worst thing 

554
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,520
that's happened to me? 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 

555
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:08,720
I think it's the worst thing of 
lockdown for anyone because as 

556
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,440
we know, coronavirus is not 
real. 

557
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,680
So this is something that really
happened. 

558
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,960
Yeah, I actually ordered a face 
mask on Amazon just as a hoax on

559
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,120
it. 
Yeah, but you still wear. 

560
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,240
I love the idea that somebody 
would do that but still wear it.

561
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:32,560
What? 
I was Robin McShane came down to

562
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:36,440
Omar, you know, a comedian, 
Robin McShane from the very fun.

563
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:45,080
And he goes, fuck, this place is
bosom. 

564
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:49,800
Now, to be fair, that day Omar 
very packed, very busy, you 

565
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:54,720
know, and I said as a joke, I 
was like, oh, the place is full 

566
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:58,240
of pandemic deniers, right? 
The first guy we walk into 

567
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:02,840
lovely guy right from school, 
some guy I need to put that I 

568
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:06,200
need to make a clear to start, 
right, really nice guy, great 

569
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:11,080
guy, really friendly, family 
oriented, good guy, right? 

570
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,400
But he said we are obviously 
coronavirus came up in 

571
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:21,320
conversation quite naturally and
that he said he goes, it's 

572
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,560
fucking crazy. 
I fabricated the whole thing is,

573
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,520
and I was like, is he about to 
spit like a real truth bomb here

574
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:32,720
on what's really going on? 
And it goes, you know, there's 

575
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,000
people, right? 
This is how stupid it is. 

576
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,400
And I was like, right, OK, this 
guy's common facts, right? 

577
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:44,160
He goes, there's people that 
have had cancer 27 years and 

578
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:47,120
then they get coronavirus and 
they die and then they're marked

579
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:51,920
as a coronavirus death. 
And I was like, first of all, 

580
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,040
they still died of coronavirus, 
right? 

581
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:59,400
But second of all, have you ever
heard of someone having cancer 

582
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:04,600
for 27 years? 
You go to the doctors and 

583
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,880
they're like, you're like, doc, 
how long have I got? 

584
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,000
And he's like 2 1/2 decades. 
It's pretty rough. 

585
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,480
So there's like you might want 
to get your affairs in order in 

586
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:18,120
the year 2047. 
You've got a full Jimi Hendrix 

587
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:19,080
left. 
That's it. 

588
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,640
By the way, I'm sorry to say 
you've got a quarter cent. 

589
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:37,560
Things are going to start to 
move pretty fast because the 

590
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,320
next time there's a solar 
eclipse, you're right, you're 

591
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:45,120
right. 
You have exactly 27 Guinness 

592
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,720
Book of Record. 
It's left in the shops before 

593
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:54,480
it's time to go. 
Yeah, I mean, the thing, one 

594
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:58,000
thing I I don't like conspiracy 
theorists being like, you ought 

595
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,560
to question everything. 
I totally see the merit in that.

596
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,200
I don't have time to do it, but 
I'd see I see the merit in it. 

597
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:07,680
But what I don't like is, and, 
you know, we're talking about 

598
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:11,000
Mick being a conspiracy theorist
and, you know, he definitely is 

599
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,960
into him in Congress podcast. 
But what I like about them is 

600
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,840
they they just like debate it. 
And they're like, this is my 

601
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:19,080
take. 
This is what I think. 

602
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,000
And it's sort of like fucked 
either way. 

603
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,840
But the thing I can't stand 
online is people who are like 

604
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:27,400
almost smug about it, you know, 
Yeah, people were like loads of 

605
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:32,520
laughing emojis be like saying 
all you sheep need to wake up. 

606
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:36,560
And there's a guy who DJs on a 
big commercial radio station 

607
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:37,840
here. 
I don't you probably won't 

608
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,320
figure out what station I'm 
talking about, but it wouldn't 

609
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:47,760
be cold FM now. 
And he he every day he's like 

610
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,520
he's like putting up all these 
laughing emoji things and he's 

611
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:55,520
like, I called this back in 
March and it's like, yes, you 

612
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,400
and 19,000,000 other people. 
You're fucking tinfoil hats. 

613
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:00,040
I comment on under one of those 
things. 

614
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,200
Why do I do that? 
I comment on under his thing. 

615
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:06,640
You put something up about non 
COVID, like you say non COVID 

616
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,840
related deaths or whatever. 
They've lied to us about this. 

617
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:14,040
And I was like, I just wrote, 
why do you write about this, 

618
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,800
like saying when you called it 
like you're predicting the end, 

619
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,600
the Game of Thrones. 
Either way, people died. 

620
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:24,680
Yeah, Like, either way, chances 
are someone, you know, like 

621
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:28,040
their relative or whatever died 
of coronavirus now. 

622
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:29,880
It's like a grasp of 
intelligence. 

623
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:35,480
Yeah, it's, it's, it's something
to do for quite a lot of people,

624
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:39,560
I think. 
And and then you you say, and I 

625
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:40,880
don't know enough about it, 
right? 

626
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:45,120
But a lot of what I'm seeing is 
very like in a roundabout way, 

627
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,920
pro Trump. 
I don't know how Trump is doing 

628
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,440
it, but I just know a lot of 
guys I know started off being 

629
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:55,160
like, oh, fuck pedos. 
And I was like, Yep, I agree. 

630
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,280
And then the next thing would be
like Trump fucking he hates 

631
00:33:58,280 --> 00:33:59,360
pedos and I don't even like 
them. 

632
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:00,920
That's what they all started 
saying. 

633
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,600
I don't even like Trump, right? 
But I'm just going to say this. 

634
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:07,480
And now they're just straight up
getting fucking Trump 2020 

635
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,080
scored into their heads 
accomplices. 

636
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,960
I don't like Trump, but I will 
defend them online for six hours

637
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:13,840
at a time. 
Yeah, I mean. 

638
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:18,560
Which I also love to about a DJ 
from over here, like being like 

639
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,800
writing, like you fucking shape 
wake up and then 20 minutes 

640
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,400
later they've been like, OK 
guys, so we got the killers here

641
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,239
coming in, Mr Bright sides 
dropping your seatbelts. 

642
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,960
Sorry, what? 
That personality, it doesn't go 

643
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:34,679
together with that job. 
You can't, you can't be a 

644
00:34:34,679 --> 00:34:39,239
Northern Irish DJ and it also be
heavily red pulled on right wing

645
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:44,080
forums. 
We need to look into Pizzagate. 

646
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,159
They need to investigate 
Pizzagate. 

647
00:34:46,159 --> 00:34:48,639
Speaking of pizzas, who's having
a pizza party? 

648
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,679
These guys are it's LMFAO party 
rock anthem. 

649
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:57,960
Very convenient that they're 
looking for Madeline McCann 

650
00:34:57,960 --> 00:34:59,280
again in the middle of a 
pandemic. 

651
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,640
OK, wake up, people. 
Eddie here is Ellie Golding. 

652
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,600
Strange that Barack Obama's been
very quiet during all this. 

653
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:19,360
He's killed himself. 
This is Ricky Martin, and he's 

654
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:32,080
Livin La Vida loca. 
Speaking of people that are on 

655
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:35,160
Skyscanner for Epstein's island,
that's Pharrell Williams speech 

656
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:43,920
in Robert Thicke. 
Oh my God. 

657
00:35:51,400 --> 00:36:00,960
Ellen shot JFK this one. 
Speaking of which, we're flat to

658
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,000
the mat with a party had it's 
Richie Remo. 

659
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,240
The funny thing about all the 
conspiracy there is they're 

660
00:36:13,240 --> 00:36:17,080
probably all right. 
What do you think? 

661
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:23,040
I I literally right if it 
doesn't immediately affect my 

662
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,560
day there and then and what I'm 
doing. 

663
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,600
It sounds terrible but I don't 
care. 

664
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:30,960
You're right, we get 
desensitised to so much. 

665
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:32,840
Yeah, right. 
It was like Brexit. 

666
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,880
I I said the only thing I need 
to know about Brexit is, well, 

667
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:38,520
my bins going in a different 
day. 

668
00:36:38,720 --> 00:36:41,880
That's the number one priority I
have is when my bins going 

669
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:43,680
because I've been in that 
situation before. 

670
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,960
We're putting my bin out in the 
wrong day and that fucking walk 

671
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,400
of shame back through your head.
Yeah. 

672
00:36:49,720 --> 00:36:52,080
With a full bin, because if you 
have a full bin, you can't make 

673
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:53,840
it seem like it's an empty bin. 
You're on your way back with 

674
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:55,320
because you've got to drag it a 
little bit more. 

675
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:57,320
And yeah, that's all I needed to
know. 

676
00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,120
Brexit. 
They're like, oh, fucking 

677
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,840
recession economy. 
And like, yeah, that's terrible.

678
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,800
But like do we still get paid 
for gigs? 

679
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,840
Exactly. 
It's weird, yeah. 

680
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:14,000
It's like that thing of and it 
is probably ignorance in a way, 

681
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,640
but I think we're it's just the 
way we're conditioned now where 

682
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:21,240
you know, you'll you'll read 
about some tragedy that happens 

683
00:37:21,240 --> 00:37:23,560
somewhere in the world, like 
some complete catastrophe. 

684
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:26,840
But you can scroll through that 
in the news feed and then read 

685
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:28,760
another article about some 
celebrity thing. 

686
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:30,960
It's and it's not like you don't
care. 

687
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,880
It's just that that's just the 
way it is. 

688
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:35,440
No, almost like. 
Yeah, I. 

689
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:37,640
Sorry, sorry. 
No, no. 

690
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:39,480
No, I didn't have a point after 
that. 

691
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:43,320
It was like it used to be you 
would you would like see 

692
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,000
something like a headline. 
That was a really terrible 

693
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,000
thing. 
Like, you know, anything someone

694
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,720
murdered here there and you'd be
like, oh shit, that's awful. 

695
00:37:51,720 --> 00:37:55,160
And then you would have like the
day at least to like from like 

696
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,600
let it ferment away. 
But well, there is now if you 

697
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:01,360
take if you do 1 swift scroll of
Twitter, it's just tragedy, 

698
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,760
tragedy, tragedy, tragedy. 
Like, you know. 

699
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,360
Tragedy, tragedy making it 
Mickey. 

700
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,040
This show still happening, guys,
and I'm aware I fuck that up by 

701
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,040
calling him Mickety, but these 
things happen. 

702
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,960
I think I'm still good. 
Mickey's new show on the Oster. 

703
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:22,040
All Mickey Tickety talk. 
Mickey D Boo everything, 

704
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,440
everything's Mickey D Boo. 
It's not make coronavirus. 

705
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:32,960
But then, you know, the way 
people are like all the 

706
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:36,200
government are saying everyone 
like their muzzle on us by 

707
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,360
putting us these, by putting 
these face masks on us. 

708
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:40,600
What? 
What what are they getting out 

709
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:41,880
of it? 
It's like the whole Flat Earth 

710
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:43,760
thing. 
People are like the government 

711
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:48,440
know one thing we know about 
anything is nobody can keep a 

712
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:50,280
secret in the world. 
Yeah. 

713
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,200
Like, and the bigger the secret,
the more it's going to come out 

714
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,280
at some stage. 
Yeah. 

715
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,960
Do you think there's people with
the knowledge and proof that 

716
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:01,200
there is a Flat Earth and 
they're not saying anyone like 

717
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,400
you would know? 
And also, what are they? 

718
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:05,880
What's the benefit of there 
being a Flat Earth? 

719
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:07,720
What's the benefit of like, 
lying the people of it? 

720
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:13,440
I would like to think that if 
anybody new information like 

721
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:17,720
that, there would be one night 
at an after party at 3:00 in the

722
00:39:17,720 --> 00:39:20,040
morning. 
The nights kind of died down and

723
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:25,400
they're smoking a a fag outside 
and they just turn to the mint 

724
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:27,200
and go. 
I have to tell someone this. 

725
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,120
Mate, I don't want to melt your 
head here right? 

726
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:35,240
But that listen, I know your 
taxi is coming in 2 minutes, but

727
00:39:35,240 --> 00:39:39,680
listen, this here you can tell I
don't know how to smoke. 

728
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,960
Hold up the people you people 
used to do that in my school, 

729
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:52,000
hold the cigarette the wrong way
around and like do something 

730
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,800
with it and then they breathe it
out and then other people smoked

731
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:55,920
it. 
I don't know, it's weird do. 

732
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:57,800
You want to hear something? 
You'll be very disappointed. 

733
00:39:57,800 --> 00:39:59,000
A man? 
Yeah. 

734
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,760
I smoked my first cigarette two 
weeks ago. 

735
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:05,840
Why now? 
Here's now. 

736
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,320
Here's the thing. 
Wasn't entered. 

737
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:11,600
Wasn't entered. 
I haven't been, let's say, 

738
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,400
coffee, where it's a barrier you
have to overcome and then you're

739
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,640
fully addicted. 
Well, I have a medical degree 

740
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,160
and you just cough there, so I'm
sorry to tell you you only have 

741
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:21,960
57 years. 
I have to live because of that, 

742
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:23,640
my friend. 
Time is taken. 

743
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,040
And if I were you, I would get 
everything out of the way that 

744
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:27,960
you needed to do. 
I would take things off that 

745
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:35,520
bucket list every decade because
right, so you smoke the 

746
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:37,040
cigarette basically, start to 
finish. 

747
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,200
Yes. 
I'm not disappointed. 

748
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,160
I think now that I'm a I'm a dad
guy. 

749
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:45,680
You know, by the way, it's it's 
disgusting. 

750
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,360
It's like me until now to say 
congratulations on this podcast.

751
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,840
I have wish you congratulations 
obviously personally. 

752
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:52,840
What doesn't count until it's on
this podcast? 

753
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:55,240
That's true. 
Congratulations mate. 

754
00:40:55,240 --> 00:40:56,280
I. 
Appreciate that, but you 

755
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:59,960
definitely run out of like 
patience for a lot of things. 

756
00:41:00,240 --> 00:41:03,480
Like if you told me that before,
I would have been like me, then 

757
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:05,600
I would have tried to talk to 
you at every smoking a cigarette

758
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:07,320
again. 
And now I'm like, why would I do

759
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:09,360
that? 
Because like you say, you're not

760
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,800
into it and it's just going to 
be a waste of both of our times.

761
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,200
But at the same time, you're a 
very naughty, rude boy. 

762
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:18,280
And I don't ever do that. 
Don't ever do that. 

763
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:23,640
And do you? 
So I smoked, I smoked, I 

764
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:25,360
remember right. 
I've never smoked the whole 

765
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,520
cigarette in my life. 
I've probably smoked the 

766
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,400
equivalent of a cigarette, if 
you know what I mean, through 

767
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:32,760
various draws. 
And when I say stuff like that, 

768
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:34,000
I sound like an undercover 
police. 

769
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:36,480
Yeah. 
Various draws, LD's, people you 

770
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:38,000
set in your school. 
LD's. 

771
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,960
What's that? 
Last draws LD's. 

772
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:44,080
Genuine. 
I was the thing people used to 

773
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:44,800
walk about. 
LD's. 

774
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,080
LD's, LD's. 
That's hilarious. 

775
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:52,360
Sometimes people have local 
things that don't make sense. 

776
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:55,240
Like I think I've talked about 
this podcast before. 

777
00:41:55,240 --> 00:41:59,440
I worked on a Mace in East 
Belfast and people used to come 

778
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:03,640
in and go already made things. 
What think card? 

779
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:05,600
I was like, I don't know what a 
thing card is. 

780
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:07,320
So it's like, you know, like a 
phone card or something. 

781
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:08,880
They'll come in like me a thing 
card. 

782
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:10,840
Put a fibre on the thing card. 
Dinner card. 

783
00:42:11,240 --> 00:42:13,280
That no I'm looking for 50 
things on the card. 

784
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,520
A thing is a bus pass. 
OK. 

785
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,400
Thing that's a thing. 
Stick 50 things on that. 

786
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:25,240
Very weird. 
We say thing for money like in 

787
00:42:25,240 --> 00:42:27,640
my group of friends. 
Oh, like 10 things. 

788
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:30,480
Yeah, we would say like, you 
know, twenty thing, whatever. 

789
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:32,800
Yeah. 
Oh just Dang, no S on the end of

790
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:34,640
it. 
No, no, no, no Dings. 

791
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:37,320
Or I would look like such a deck
in front of your friends if I 

792
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:41,800
was like here. 50 Dings. 
Oh fuck thank God you told me 

793
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:44,560
that. 
Nope, I like Nope 20 it's. 

794
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:45,600
Nice. 
Yeah, I like. 

795
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:46,720
Nope. 
Nope's good. 

796
00:42:46,720 --> 00:42:47,360
Nope. 
Dreams. 

797
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:48,480
I like it. 
Nope's good. 

798
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,080
Yeah, man. 
You say Nope, dreams. 

799
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:54,960
The end of dreams. 
I don't know, just give it a 

800
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:58,040
minute like Who Dreams? 
Who Dreams is this basketball 

801
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:01,160
documentary that me and my mates
Stevie and John were looking 

802
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,080
someone to watch one day, just 
like sitting in the house, maybe

803
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:04,200
one like Friday night or 
something. 

804
00:43:05,240 --> 00:43:06,480
Someone's like stick something 
on. 

805
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:07,880
I put on this basketball 
documentary. 

806
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:10,560
I was like, this might be good. 
Most tragic Blake thing you'll 

807
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,040
ever see. 
Just some kid trying to get out 

808
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:13,960
of the projects. 
I think a few of them get out in

809
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:15,880
this one lad that's fucking 
still there. 

810
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:18,720
And it was grim. 
Just made us really sad. 

811
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:26,200
Well, you know. 
Not a lot of time you've been 

812
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:28,200
looking, you've got to fill a 
podcast concert, which I think 

813
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,400
if you get sad at some point, 
you just write out that. 

814
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:34,240
Well, The Last Dance is a more 
upbeat one, I would say in Bath,

815
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,960
if we're talking basketball. 
Documentary specifically. 

816
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:42,320
I thought the Last dance was 
good and I bought a retro 

817
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:46,000
Chicago Bulls topple Rodman on 
the back and then, which is 

818
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:49,160
fine, you know, it's a little 
bit bandwagon, which is again 

819
00:43:49,240 --> 00:43:53,200
something probably before child.
I would have been like, oh man, 

820
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:56,520
people jumping on the bandwagon.
I'm just all about the 

821
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:58,280
bandwagon. 
They just go for the bandwagon. 

822
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:00,000
Nothing wrong with the 
bandwagon. 

823
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:04,560
What's your biggest change now? 
Obviously it's very soon to say 

824
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:07,560
like, but what's your biggest 
change since you've became a 

825
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:09,280
father that you've noticed in 
yourself? 

826
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:13,680
Put my hands on my hips a lot. 
OK. 

827
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:21,680
Which is a bit of a dad move. 
And like, like time management 

828
00:44:21,720 --> 00:44:23,440
now I just don't have time to do
things. 

829
00:44:23,720 --> 00:44:26,680
And before I would have tried to
please all of the people all the

830
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:30,040
time. 
And I just go, Nah, my hands, my

831
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:31,880
hips. 
I'm like, Nah, can't do it. 

832
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:33,680
Can't do it. 
Honestly, I suppose to have a 

833
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:36,600
phone call with somebody last 
week, I just couldn't ever phone

834
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:38,000
them back really just didn't 
have time. 

835
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:40,720
So yeah, I'm still I'm still 
figuring it out. 

836
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:45,480
I mean, the big change is like I
think being like probably 

837
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:49,640
lesbian. 
So like I'll get like sick and 

838
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:53,240
piss and stuff on my, I mean, 
that's just my own on like on my

839
00:44:53,240 --> 00:44:59,000
T-shirts or like, or like my son
will shit on me and you just 

840
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:00,360
give it like a bit of a damp 
wipe. 

841
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:02,720
But I don't care. 
I just kind of go about now with

842
00:45:02,720 --> 00:45:06,360
a bit like I'm you become more 
functional as opposed to like 

843
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:11,080
fancy, like don't get me wrong, 
like I can still turn it on, but

844
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:13,520
it's very, very rare. 
Like, you know, like if I was 

845
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:15,440
going to the shop, I would. 
Who is that a? 

846
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:22,720
Magical dwarf did. 
You just close that. 

847
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:24,320
Did you just complete a level of
zeal? 

848
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:34,720
I also love my immediately when 
who the fuck is that? 

849
00:45:34,720 --> 00:45:38,200
Like a scene of a horrible yeah,
I do notice the I do notice the 

850
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:39,720
patience being cut of you. 
I like. 

851
00:45:39,720 --> 00:45:42,280
You know, you know, that reminds
me of does that remind you of 

852
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:46,840
anything with me, Me and you 
just doing 1 like that when we 

853
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:49,960
went to see Drake, right? 
Which at the time is fine, but 

854
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:53,080
now Drake's kind of way more 
like of like a like young girl 

855
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:55,160
thing. 
I think the fact we went too far

856
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:56,800
to see him, I think it'd be 
acceptable if we saw him in 

857
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:58,240
Belfast, but we travelled too 
far to see him. 

858
00:45:58,240 --> 00:46:04,120
We went to see Drake in Dublin, 
you and Doley and me and I was 

859
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:08,120
walking on ahead and you tripped
and fell into me as we're 

860
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:12,160
walking to the venue. 
And I felt this like force and I

861
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:15,920
like went forward and nearly 
fell and YouTube burst out 

862
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,120
laughing because I think you 
were laughing because you'd 

863
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:20,360
fallen and you pushed me by 
mistake. 

864
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:22,480
And I just heard you laughing 
behind me. 

865
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:24,520
And I was like, I never met 
Dolly before. 

866
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:26,400
Never. 
I hadn't seen you just on your 

867
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:28,320
own with him. 
And I was like, maybe this is a 

868
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:31,280
thing they do. 
They just fucking shove people. 

869
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:34,760
And I was like, I could have, I,
it was one of those ones were 

870
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:36,760
like, listen, if I had my hands 
in my pockets and broke my neck.

871
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:42,040
So no one. 
So I, I turn around, I turn 

872
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:46,320
around really angry and I, the 
fuck are you doing? 

873
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,600
And you both looked, you both 
looked like your dad. 

874
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:56,200
I just lost that after work one 
day. 

875
00:46:56,240 --> 00:47:01,280
And like, and then I, it took me
so long to process what had 

876
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:04,400
happened and you were like, like
tripped and like momentum carry 

877
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,920
me into you. 
And then I was like, to be fair,

878
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:10,360
that's way more realistic than 
the fact that a good friend of 

879
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:15,160
mine in many years walking over 
a bridge and just fucking shove 

880
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:18,640
me to the ground. 
But sometimes I think about that

881
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:21,280
and I laugh a lot. 
Because. 

882
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:23,880
Even if you had to push me, why 
would I have been not annoyed 

883
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:26,520
about it? 
Yeah, that level of paranoia in 

884
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:29,200
your default settings mean you 
should never be a weed guy. 

885
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:35,000
Oh no, what about the time where
I spoke to someone we know 

886
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,240
about, like I think we're going 
to a gig and I was like, and I 

887
00:47:37,240 --> 00:47:38,520
knew this person would have 
someone. 

888
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:40,400
I was like, I was not the person
you think it is. 

889
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:44,840
I was like, I was like, here, I 
might be, I might be interested 

890
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:47,080
in that. 
And the person was like, great, 

891
00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:49,880
you go person then was like, I'm
not going to the thing, but I 

892
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:52,880
probably get you someone. 
I was like never really done it.

893
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:56,560
And then he was like, listen, 
this guy is going to give you. 

894
00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:57,920
And at that point, I was out of 
my depth. 

895
00:47:57,920 --> 00:47:59,720
And I was like, This is why I 
don't do this and why I'm not 

896
00:47:59,720 --> 00:48:02,360
going to do it. 
And I sent the guy a message on 

897
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:07,040
Facebook and said he goes, the 
guy has Wonka bars, like Willy 

898
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:10,600
Wonka edible bars. 
And I messaged our mutual friend

899
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:12,800
and I said, I'm lactose 
intolerant. 

900
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:15,240
Ask him if there's dairy in it. 
And he wrote back and he said, 

901
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:19,240
he said, he said never do this. 
He's like, you don't ever need 

902
00:48:19,240 --> 00:48:21,200
to be in this game, you know? 
Oh my God. 

903
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:24,800
He's like. 
The part that direct quote from 

904
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,360
the person was if I asked my 
drug dealer that, he's going to 

905
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:33,880
think I'm an informant, so 
that's why I'm not in that. 

906
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,320
But that's like a beyond narc 
thing to say. 

907
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:41,640
You would trust someone who said
use this lactose dollar. 100% 

908
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:43,760
and even if he had a said no 
what have been like what's the 

909
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:47,080
gluten situation? 
Yeah, that's so funny. 

910
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:51,120
But I like the idea of like a 
art, like an artisanal kind of 

911
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:53,760
clean eaten dealer. 
You know a guy who's like, 

912
00:48:53,760 --> 00:49:00,760
listen, no dairy, no gluten, no 
soya, just 100% natural 

913
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:02,880
ingredients. 
It's bound to be a thing. 

914
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:06,240
Yeah. 
I I'd say there isn't a market 

915
00:49:06,240 --> 00:49:08,800
for it here, but I'd say it's, 
it's probably a thing. 

916
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:11,920
Oh, no, not here. 
No, not here, no. 

917
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:15,360
But yeah, LA yeah, yeah, for 
sure, for sure. 

918
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:19,800
I I, there's so much I was going
to chat to you about, but we 

919
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:22,480
just never got around to it. 
And that's what I like about 

920
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:26,320
this podcast and what I like 
about chatting your podcast, 

921
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:31,320
Dirt Civil, you and Tim. 
Tim, let me ask you this, Tim, 

922
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:37,040
Tim, it's APT as well as hosting
the podcast with yourself, Tim 

923
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:39,440
at the minute is doing training 
with Colin. 

924
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:44,040
I am doing training with APT 
that Tim knows. 

925
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:47,880
OK. 
And I just, I just, I just like 

926
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:49,760
that, yeah. 
And I. 

927
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:51,520
Think I know the PT as well that
you're on a bit. 

928
00:49:51,720 --> 00:49:54,280
Matthew, Yes. 
Have you met him? 

929
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:58,160
Or I know of him because Tim has
mentioned that he was training 

930
00:49:58,160 --> 00:49:59,400
you. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

931
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:01,400
It's, it's it's fun. 
I like it. 

932
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:05,560
It's good having like the kind 
of accountability of it or 

933
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:07,600
something. 
But I just like the idea that 

934
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:11,800
every local comedian gets like, 
they're like, you can't share. 

935
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:13,520
It has to be a different 
personal trainer. 

936
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:16,640
And then, like, whenever we come
back to the scene, it's just 

937
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:18,520
just like the Dream boys. 
Yeah. 

938
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:20,280
It's like the Chippendales just 
coming out. 

939
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:23,520
Just a bow tie on nothing else. 
And yeah. 

940
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:25,840
Dirt civil every. 
What day of the week do you use 

941
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:28,960
to the podcast? 
We put it out every Tuesday. 

942
00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:32,680
Every Tuesday, by the way, the 
New York work is sensational. 

943
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:35,720
Oh, thank you very much. 
That is Emily Mcclements, local 

944
00:50:35,720 --> 00:50:38,760
girl, very talented. 
Very nice, very, very nice. 

945
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:43,320
And yeah, so check that out. 
And you've got your inventorious

946
00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:44,960
gig. 
You've got anything like before 

947
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:48,240
the end of the year. 
I don't. 

948
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:52,320
When's your shows next year? 
February. 

949
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:54,600
OK. 
I'm going to tour February and 

950
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:56,840
September next year with 
different shows. 

951
00:50:57,280 --> 00:50:58,760
Well, that's a. 
OK. 

952
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:02,960
Yeah, because this shows I would
be doing now. 

953
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:05,360
So it's ready. 
It was ready before lockdown 

954
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:08,840
because that's the natural what 
time it was going to have to be 

955
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:09,880
ready. 
So I. 

956
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:13,520
Feel weird to you doing that 
show in February do you think? 

957
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:17,600
Because my show is about my 
ex-girlfriend and now it's like 

958
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:20,880
3 years. 
Well, the good thing is it's not

959
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:23,800
topical, so I think it'll be 
fine. 

960
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:26,280
But what I need to do now is 
park the material for a while 

961
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:29,360
because I don't want to make 
myself sick of it before. 

962
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:32,240
I don't want to be doing it for 
that'll be me doing it for like 

963
00:51:32,240 --> 00:51:34,840
a year because we're doing it 
before lockdown to try it. 

964
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:38,560
So I think park it and almost 
like either practise the next 

965
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:43,600
next stuff or just come up with 
some fun new stuff that can 

966
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:45,800
throw away after a while. 
Yeah, that's sensible. 

967
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:49,640
I feel like mine's going to be a
little bit tough, tougher sell, 

968
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:51,840
you know, because it's 
essentially a show. 

969
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:55,360
It's like a breakup show. 
And then, you know, kind of come

970
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:58,480
on and you do some self 
deprecating material with that 

971
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:02,160
and people are like made I've 
lost my job and people have 

972
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:04,360
died. 
Like I don't yeah, who gives a 

973
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:06,960
fuck? 
She ain't got to take away 

974
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:09,360
Nando's. 
Like there's there's bigger fish

975
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:11,040
to fry. 
Lest we forget. 

976
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:15,680
And yeah, you're you're Ulster. 
Hall in June, so next year, 

977
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:17,440
yeah. 
That'll that'll be class. 

978
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:23,240
I mean, it's it must be annoying
that that got put back because 

979
00:52:23,240 --> 00:52:27,360
the best thing would like 
imagine who was it just got in 

980
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:30,360
just before this was maybe it 
was Colin. 

981
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:33,120
Colin got in at a brilliant time
of. 

982
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:36,360
January, yeah. 
Doing his plan shows and then 

983
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:38,320
it's like, OK, they're out of 
the way. 

984
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:40,600
Plan the next ones. 
Whereas you and I were just 

985
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:43,640
about to go, yeah, so like have 
it put back. 

986
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:46,800
It's it's sort of like, I 
definitely feel your pain on 

987
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:48,800
that. 
So frustrating, but it'll be 

988
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:52,400
you're going to get that filmed.
I think so, yeah, I think so. 

989
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:56,840
It'll it'll be it's definitely 
my biggest solo show yet, which 

990
00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:59,840
is crazy to think like I 
actually wasn't going to do it. 

991
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:04,040
And then I think a couple people
you included, I'm pretty sure 

992
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:05,600
like we're like, no, you could 
do it. 

993
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:12,040
Oh, every bigger venue I've done
the there has always been a 

994
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:14,360
change of I've always been like,
no, not that one. 

995
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:16,440
Yeah. 
You know, I'm like, no, no, no, 

996
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:18,720
this is the one to stick at. 
Then Mandela Hall. 

997
00:53:18,720 --> 00:53:20,440
It was like, I should just 
always do this size. 

998
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:23,680
And then all straws like that. 
It just, it continues to be 

999
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:28,560
like, I think there's no, 
there's not much arrogance in 

1000
00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:31,680
the local comedy scene. 
So no one's like, I should be 

1001
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:32,880
here. 
You know, it's kind of like you 

1002
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:33,240
do. 
Yeah. 

1003
00:53:33,240 --> 00:53:36,440
No, we all have to talk 
ourselves into it and give me an

1004
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:38,520
exclusive, right, Because that's
what I'm all about, the 

1005
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:41,120
exclusives. 
You know the answer to this 

1006
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:43,760
question. 
What are you going to walk out 

1007
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:48,320
to? 
You know, You know what you're 

1008
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:51,480
going to walk out. 
To Igor's fame by Tyler, The 

1009
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:54,680
Creator. 
Big build up. 

1010
00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:59,400
So I think you you put a lot of 
thought into that. 

1011
00:53:59,920 --> 00:54:04,560
I do, I actually weirdly put 
quite a bit of thought into the 

1012
00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:06,560
walk on music of a stand up 
show. 

1013
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:08,800
Like, probably more than you 
would need to. 

1014
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:10,880
But you. 
But I think you should because 

1015
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:13,080
it sets a tone. 
I think it's those two, 

1016
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:14,320
definitely. 
Set the tone. 

1017
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:21,200
I usually walk out to very like,
you know, heavy, like BSc music.

1018
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:24,240
And some people go, you 
shouldn't do that because then, 

1019
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:26,480
you know, it is where to just 
grab them. 

1020
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:28,480
Yeah, but you can match that 
energy. 

1021
00:54:29,120 --> 00:54:31,040
Oh definitely, yeah. 
I mean it's all about how you 

1022
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:32,920
start your set. 
Yeah, pretty much. 

1023
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:36,200
And I think the best, my 
favourite walk out music, I'll 

1024
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:39,560
probably use it again, is 
Rolling Stones Start Me Up. 

1025
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:45,320
It's just like it's it's it's a 
fun song and it is like it is, 

1026
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:47,520
yeah. 
Like it's got the guitar. 

1027
00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:49,240
And I love their own Stones. 
I like that. 

1028
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:53,520
Am I right in saying you walked 
out to trophies by Drake one 

1029
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:56,960
time? 
I don't. 

1030
00:54:57,560 --> 00:54:59,080
I don't think it would have the 
balls for that. 

1031
00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:02,920
I don't think maybe at like a 
gig we did for fun where 

1032
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:05,320
someone's like, what song? 
Oh, I know what it was. 

1033
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:07,080
Limelight, one of the charity 
shows. 

1034
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:10,760
Yes. 
Yeah, because that like that 

1035
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:14,080
doesn't match me. 
It records on my demo and then 

1036
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:19,840
it cuts. 
Hello Michael Macklemore was 1 

1037
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:21,440
elect as well. 
The first time I did Ulster Hall

1038
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:24,320
was Macklemore. 
What was the song? 

1039
00:55:27,720 --> 00:55:29,200
Fuck I can't remember. 
Not one. 

1040
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:31,880
I like the big hits but like a 
song as I really liked. 

1041
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:33,800
Oh, an album cut from 
Macklemore. 

1042
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:37,320
OK, OK, OK. 
Cut from Macklemore. 

1043
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:40,160
A demo wasn't a demo. 
This is one of the album that I 

1044
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:43,600
like. 
But yeah, that'll be, that'll be

1045
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:46,000
so much fun. 
And you will enjoy it more 

1046
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:48,160
because it's been postponed, 
because it's like, yes, I 

1047
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:51,640
finally get to do this. 
I hope so because right now I'm 

1048
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:53,720
like, it doesn't even feel like 
I'm doing it anymore. 

1049
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:57,480
It just like feels very, I don't
know. 

1050
00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:00,120
But that's because whenever you,
whenever we're gigging on the 

1051
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:02,160
scene, whenever you're doing 
clubs and stuff, you're like, 

1052
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:04,680
OK, I'm doing all this to build 
up to the big show that I'm 

1053
00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:07,240
doing or, or some sort of event.
You don't have that at the 

1054
00:56:07,240 --> 00:56:08,800
minute. 
But once, once we start getting 

1055
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:11,720
into more regular gigs, you'll 
be like, yes, this momentum 

1056
00:56:11,720 --> 00:56:14,200
takes me into that, that show. 
Yeah. 

1057
00:56:14,240 --> 00:56:16,200
But it'll be great. 
I just can't wait to do stand up

1058
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:16,760
again. 
And. 

1059
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:20,920
Sam. 
Just see all the boys again man.

1060
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:26,720
Enjoy the enjoy the Punjama. 
And I'll take the tea as well. 

1061
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:31,200
Thanks mate. 
What we should, what we should 

1062
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:33,640
do is figure it a way next time 
we're getting together, if one 

1063
00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:36,600
of us is em saying get that line
in just in between us, you know,

1064
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:39,640
like set it up every time and 
then just fucking strike it out.

1065
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:43,080
Absolutely. 
Great to talk to you my man, and

1066
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:45,720
I will see you soon. 
I love seeing your face. 

1067
00:56:45,720 --> 00:56:48,600
I actually you'll be impressed. 
I know that that T-shirt you're 

1068
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:50,920
wearing is a little group called
Run the Jewels. 

1069
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:53,600
OK. 
Run the jewels fast. 

1070
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:57,640
Don't mind it yeah so I'm going 
to change my e-mail address and 

1071
00:56:57,640 --> 00:57:01,760
I'll talk to you soon. 
Cheers. 

1072
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:10,520
Thank you, slippers there we 
have at my chat with fellow 

1073
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:13,880
stand up comedian and friend of 
mine, Aaron McCann. 

1074
00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:17,200
Hope you enjoyed that. 
Check Aaron out all social 

1075
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:19,320
media. 
Here's a podcast called Dirt 

1076
00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:21,960
Civil, which you may or may not 
have mentioned on the podcast, 

1077
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:24,000
but I recorded this. 
But after the podcast was over. 

1078
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:25,840
So there you go. 
I also said great guy. 

1079
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:27,800
You might have said some of the 
podcast that really mugged me 

1080
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:30,160
off. 
I'm not sure, but let's just 

1081
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:34,320
enjoy it for what it was. 
I've got listeners questions and

1082
00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:38,120
I'd be really sly. 
I mean, not to answer them now, 

1083
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:40,960
earlier in the week we were back
in studio, but that episode's 

1084
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:42,800
not going to be out for a little
while. 

1085
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:45,520
And let me see what the zippers 
are saying. 

1086
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:47,960
By the way, it's so much better 
being back in studio than me 

1087
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:52,680
recording it via Zoom on a 
laptop that when although 

1088
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:55,040
Windows are closed because it 
looks like I'm doing a hostage 

1089
00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:56,720
video. 
There you go. 

1090
00:57:57,440 --> 00:57:59,280
Casper says. 
As a comedian, can you deduct 

1091
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:02,000
marijuana as a business expense?
I mean, mad question. 

1092
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:07,640
I don't think you actually think
I can and and for that reason I 

1093
00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:10,600
don't know what the purpose of 
the question is, but I would I 

1094
00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:12,880
would sincerely doubt it. 
Just poppers, I think. 

1095
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:15,720
Yeah, I would. 
I would write off about 10 grand

1096
00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:20,960
a year in tax just for poppers. 
Ozen Galley says. 

1097
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:22,280
Don't know what's the real one 
says. 

1098
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:25,800
What would you do to improve the
rubbish that is building up in 

1099
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:30,920
Sea Park Hollywood? 
Again, bizarre question to ask 

1100
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:33,560
me. 
I think get ready for this, but 

1101
00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:37,720
I think the answer might be more
bins, something like that. 

1102
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:40,520
Or if it's people from Belfast 
come to Hollywood for the day 

1103
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:44,360
and they are littering and 
Magaberry, yeah, just like a 

1104
00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:46,840
life sentence. 
Even if they're not littering, I

1105
00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:49,040
don't think anyone should be 
allowed down at Sea Park. 

1106
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:52,800
Lesson from north down area. 
We should be checking people's 

1107
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:57,000
address because the people from 
Belfast come down and they scare

1108
00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:01,440
the people from Hollywood 
because they play music on their

1109
00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:04,560
phones and they drink Wicked and
we don't like it. 

1110
00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:08,280
So what would I do? 
Yeah, just just give the police 

1111
00:59:08,280 --> 00:59:09,520
more power. 
Really. 

1112
00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:14,320
That's what I would like to see.
And then under that then he he 

1113
00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:16,600
just has a Twitter back and 
forth argument with with 

1114
00:59:16,600 --> 00:59:19,160
somebody else. 
And I don't know why I'm I'm 

1115
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:21,720
being dragged into that. 
But that's just a thing. 

1116
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:27,480
We got forwarded an e-mail 
during the week, me and Britney 

1117
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:31,440
Spears dad to the official tea 
with me, which is, excuse me, 

1118
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:34,440
podcast@gmail.com. 
If you ever want to e-mail us 

1119
00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:36,600
about anything, you certainly 
can do. 

1120
00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:39,960
And the producer Dan has sent me
it. 

1121
00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:45,240
And I'll be honest, I should 
have it better to hand, but I 

1122
00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:48,880
but I just don't. 
And producer Dan, the sad thing 

1123
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:50,880
is, will probably slap me for 
that. 

1124
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:53,800
They'll probably slap me around 
the face because that's what he 

1125
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:56,400
does. 
No, we do have more questions. 

1126
00:59:57,040 --> 01:00:01,200
They come from the likes of 
Matthew Merlin, who says, are 

1127
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:02,800
the evenings gone yet? 
I don't know. 

1128
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:04,200
I haven't been outside in about 
a month. 

1129
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:07,560
I haven't been outside in about 
a month. 

1130
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:11,440
I I reckon they're gone. 
But when I like, I think 

1131
01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:14,000
whenever I'm allowed to go back 
outside again and whenever 

1132
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:16,720
you're allowed to like, you 
know, have play time, which I'm 

1133
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:18,600
not at the minute because you 
got to just, you know, be 

1134
01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:20,840
responsible. 
Through your child and stuff. 

1135
01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:23,400
I mean, my life really just are 
inside 24/7. 

1136
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:27,080
And I think when it gets here 
with December, when we are like,

1137
01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:30,200
you know what, we can, we can 
head out for an hour here. 

1138
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:32,160
I think, you know, get them 
minded. 

1139
01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:35,360
I think I will keep December 
like it's still the summer. 

1140
01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:38,600
So I'll still be going out 
Hawaiian shorts, putting time 

1141
01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:41,320
lotion on and just sort of lying
at the back. 

1142
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:43,720
So I hope the evenings are 
standing. 

1143
01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:45,320
But either way, it makes no 
difference to me. 

1144
01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:51,960
Patrick Quinn, AKA Belfast guy 
in China says how happy are you 

1145
01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:54,240
with your most recent gigs? 
But often do you get a great 

1146
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:57,240
reaction and then just decide to
run with that rather than moving

1147
01:00:57,680 --> 01:01:00,680
on to to a plan in your head? 
All the time. 

1148
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:03,880
Whenever I'm doing stand up, if 
you say something that comes 

1149
01:01:03,880 --> 01:01:06,960
into your head or a bit gets a 
particular laugh or not a laugh,

1150
01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:11,080
then I kind of improvise like a 
lot of comedians would do and 

1151
01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:14,840
maybe like do a new bit instead 
or, or I don't know. 

1152
01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:16,320
I don't know. 
It's hard to describe. 

1153
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:21,520
Yeah, definitely run with what's
happening rather than a plan, 

1154
01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:24,840
because you can have a plan set 
out in your head and then it 

1155
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:27,680
just kind of goes to shit for 
for for good or bad. 

1156
01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:32,560
Happy with most recent gig. 
The gig I did in the back garden

1157
01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:38,480
of a local stand up was 
absolutely incredible. 

1158
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:43,280
I did that last week. 
It was the it's called, by the 

1159
01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:44,400
way. 
I'm sorry, but there's more 

1160
01:01:44,400 --> 01:01:46,360
questions but I can't find them 
on my fucking phone. 

1161
01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:51,400
And yeah, I did a gig in the 
socially distance comedy club at

1162
01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:54,400
the top of the Omer Rd, which is
run by a stand up and for some 

1163
01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:57,320
reason I'll not get his name out
in case, I don't know, he goes 

1164
01:01:57,320 --> 01:01:59,440
to Magabry or something for it, 
even though it's really, well, 

1165
01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:03,520
socially distance. 
I was beyond happy with my set 

1166
01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:06,360
because I have no, I had no idea
how it was going to go with new 

1167
01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:08,600
material. 
I've been rusty for four months 

1168
01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:12,680
and I think it was fun. 
I got it videoed, I got a video 

1169
01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:15,240
for youth charity who asked me 
to do something and I don't 

1170
01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:18,200
think any of it's usable for a 
youth charity. 

1171
01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:23,360
So no, I really enjoyed that. 
Oh, I know what it was. 

1172
01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:31,720
I know it was from Noah Ballard 
and he sent me something during 

1173
01:02:31,720 --> 01:02:36,600
the week and I don't know if I 
have it. 

1174
01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:39,960
And that's not great podcast 
content. 

1175
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:41,120
And you're doing that. 
No, I've got it. 

1176
01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:43,840
No, no. 
Ballard visited traditional 

1177
01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:46,320
Chinese tea garden last week 
with at Philip Nesbitt. 

1178
01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:49,200
And by the way, he's legally 
changed his name to that, AKA 

1179
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:51,440
the other Belfast guy in China. 
He says keep sipping. 

1180
01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:54,400
And Noah is there preparing some
very traditional tea. 

1181
01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:55,960
And I like that you're called 
Noah because that's my son's 

1182
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:57,560
name and that's going to make me
cry. 

1183
01:02:57,640 --> 01:02:59,520
That's not. 
But I like that you're called 

1184
01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:01,400
Noah. 
And I like that you have tea and

1185
01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:02,840
I like that you're with that 
Philip Nesbitt. 

1186
01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:06,280
But what's, you know, what the 
zippers really like is there's 

1187
01:03:06,280 --> 01:03:09,000
two Belfast guys in China and 
what I'd really like them to do 

1188
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:12,040
is meet up and have a cup of tea
together because I don't. 

1189
01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:14,680
One thing I know about geography
is China is not that big. 

1190
01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:15,680
It's about like Northern 
Ireland. 

1191
01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:19,000
You'll probably get to each 
other in easily half an hour. 

1192
01:03:19,360 --> 01:03:21,480
So just meet up, go to your 
Starbucks. 

1193
01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:23,280
There's probably a Starbucks in 
China, I would say. 

1194
01:03:23,760 --> 01:03:25,960
And then and just have a good 
time. 

1195
01:03:25,960 --> 01:03:27,600
I think the zippers would really
like that. 

1196
01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:29,560
And maybe we'll make a 
documentary out of it that goes 

1197
01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:30,720
in the Patreon. 
I'm not too sure. 

1198
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:32,520
I'll need to speak to Britney 
Spears about that. 

1199
01:03:33,120 --> 01:03:34,640
Zippers. 
Hope you enjoyed my chat with 

1200
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:36,320
Aaron McCann. 
I'll see you on Wednesday and 

1201
01:03:36,320 --> 01:03:38,800
Friday back in the studio, I 
hope. 

1202
01:03:39,120 --> 01:03:41,640
Keep zipping.
