บทถอดความฉบับเต็มของ 73. Quizzes, Comedy & Tiny Joys with Comedian Alan McElroy

Ellen can 31 00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:36.759 be partially responsible for the sort of inspiration of me getting into the quiz game. 32 00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:39.400 He told me that he bought a house off the back of writing and 33 00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:42.759 hosting quizzes, and so I thought, yeah, I want to get in 34 00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:46.439 on that. That sounds like a very lucrative market to get into. So 35 00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:50.759 I had a lot of questions for him about kind of how he got started 36 00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:55.919 with the whole full time hustle, and just I had many questions about just 37 00:02:55.960 --> 00:03:00.599 what he what he gets up to. We chat a little bit about podcasting 38 00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:06.039 as well, and then we get into Allan's tiny joys. This one's quite 39 00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:07.960 long. I felt like we should do it in one part. I'm like 40 00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:12.879 Sean Tinker, who we split into two parts. It all felt like it 41 00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:15.800 was one kind of conversation to me. So it's a long one, but 42 00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:19.479 I hope you enjoy it, and once again, stay tuned. I will 43 00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:25.520 play the full version of that Rudle me this song from the AI after after 44 00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:30.439 we sign out at the end of the episode. No real plugs to get 45 00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:34.759 in. But at the time of this recording, which is the week before, 46 00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:40.039 I'm going on a tour of the Rickerdon House and Bush I contacted them 47 00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:46.759 specifically to ask about ghosts and paranormal stuff, and they have told me the 48 00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:51.599 date they've told me the date to go along when there is a member of 49 00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:54.520 their staff who has had some kind of experiences or is it least kind of 50 00:03:54.599 --> 00:04:00.599 versed in the paranormal realm, shall we say, I'm hoping to have a 51 00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:03.639 chat to them and potentially get some new stories. I've also read about a 52 00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:08.960 ghost story that happened in christ Church where I'm from. I've got another couple 53 00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:12.159 of bits and pieces, so good news. We might be getting a new 54 00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:16.399 Phantom Finals episode soon, which would but be absolutely tickled pink if we could 55 00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:21.040 create another one of those. I absolutely love those episodes. So with that, 56 00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:24.920 let's get on to it. Please, welcome to the show. Alan 57 00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:38.040 McElroy, Hello, Ellen, thank you for joining me on the podcast today. 58 00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:41.759 Thanks for having me pleasure. I think we've we've been meaning to for 59 00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:43.879 a while, so it's good we managed to sort of get something together and 60 00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:46.680 it's sort of coincides

quite nicely with you starting a new one. Do you 61 00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:50.560 want to give the other listeners a little bit of a maybe a picture or 62 00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:55.199 a taste is to your new one. It's a critical concept. It's called 63 00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:58.600 it's called the warld has focked. Well, I don't say focked, we 64 00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:01.759 say beeped as if the NOI is is like Prince's name being a symbol. 65 00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:06.639 It doesn't make sense. But basically, I've been running comedy pub quizz for 66 00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:14.040 a few years and the final round is weird questions and I make it multiple 67 00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:17.959 choice so I can add in funny stuff as well, and it's quite difficult. 68 00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:21.560 The reason that's in the quiz is because a team that's nearly winning these 69 00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:27.560 questions will fuck him up at the end because they're so obscure. So I 70 00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:32.600 started doing that with David Stewart and we recorded a new episode yesterday and it's 71 00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:38.120 been fun like and because of the Euros on and he doesn't know anything about 72 00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:42.160 football. So an example, I just happened to have it here from a 73 00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:46.279 gig like I'd give him options of names and he had to tell me which 74 00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:48.879 which is the correct footballer. I'll fuck it, I'll just do it with 75 00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:54.319 you. So the option here is so, which is the real footballer? 76 00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:59.399 Mark the Man? Or so and al markan a man. It feels like 77 00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:01.600 Maddie men to me. Yeah, Marked the Man. Now there's a load 78 00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:04.319 here. I won't go through them all, but like the other one was 79 00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:11.519 dick Bummer or arspand Eat, so the Arst band Eat is the real name. 80 00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:15.319 Cheeky Ars is another one, Hugh fuck Stefan Kuntz Wanker, and I 81 00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:21.199 think there's a clip somewhere on the Internet of the commentator goinggggar and then Jess 82 00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:25.519 horn Camp. So just some funny name. But yeah, So the quiz 83 00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:30.199 is I do the quiz with David and we get lost on tangents and and 84 00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:33.120 it's fun because I've been doing I did a couple of podcasts in the past. 85 00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:38.040 I did one by myself. No one will listen to this shit, 86 00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:42.680 and I think I did about twenty episodes and got bored. And then I 87 00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:46.879 started Bad Gigs and I'm on about have a good few episodes, two more 88 00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:50.920 to edit, but I kind of it's the same story again and again of 89 00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:55.480 Bad Gigs, so have two really good ones to edit. And then I 90 00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:59.600 did Egypt Abroad with some lunatic from Oireland that I think he got kicked out 91 00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:01.480 of oil and then I think he had to he got kicked out of here, 92 00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:05.160 and I'm not really sure what happened, but he just dropped everything and 93 00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:11.120 left, like Heisenberg. He just dropped everything. His name changed, so 94 00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:13.399 so that and he was, you know, it was very hard to track 95 00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:17.639 him down. He'd be awake all night at a party or something. So 96 00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:23.319 so so this one. And I've been hosting like an icebreaker at the podcast 97 00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:27.480 Summer for the last few years and they keep on giving me equipment. I 98 00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:30.759 just spat there. They keep on giving me equipment, like expensive stuff, 99 00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:33.079 and I'm like, oh, yeah, thanks very much. And then I 100 00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:35.839 went I was doing it this year. And then a couple of lads that 101 00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:40.720 I know got up and gave a speech and they talked about their numbers and 102 00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:43.879 them and the revenue, and I was like, shit, I need to 103 00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:46.839 start. I don't want to leave the house anymore, you know what I 104 00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:48.720 mean. I don't be driving to the arsend of nowhere to do a gig. 105 00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:51.519 I want to I want to get paid for sitting at home. So 106 00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:55.839 that's why I started that one, so hopefully that works well. That's why 107 00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:59.279 I started doing clips for the social media as well, because I sort of 108 00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:03.439 I think you and may have fairly similar that we're often chasing multiple rabbits and 109 00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:07.240 you've got different projects on the go, and then for me it has to 110 00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:11.879 be very conscious ef it to realize when it's gotten a little out of control 111 00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:13.199 and I think, okay, no, no, no, hang on, 112 00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:16.959 I need to pick which of these is worth meaning the effort on and not 113 00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:24.360 all of them. So yeah, same same realization hit it's trolling ship against 114 00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:28.879 the wall, and the same what six as Because you hear success stories and 115 00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:35.519 you go, oh, so that's possible. And because I got recently medici 116 00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:39.600 diagnosed and medicaid for ADHD, now I can kind of focus on one thing 117 00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:43.960 and get that task finished and then move on to the next. But it's 118 00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:48.120 still carnage here. We're in the middle of the I y and a half 119 00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:52.879 finished painting on the wall and build that's half cooked. So it's both. 120 00:08:52.600

--> 00:08:58.840 But I'm really excited about the podcast stuff now. And we just got five 121 00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:03.840 thousand dollars in advertising from iHeart Radio. So yeah, with some competition that 122 00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:09.759 I don't think anyone entered. I don't think anyone knew. Yeah, so 123 00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:11.399 I was told you should enter that and I went, oh, yeah, 124 00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:15.200 so I did and regard it. So that's going to be good to help 125 00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:18.440 us get started. So and yeah, there was some audio issues on the 126 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:22.759 first episode. I think the sound was I'm louder than David and the mic 127 00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:28.080 was different, but we're we're figuring that out and using final cut to do 128 00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:33.600 the audio and the visual together has saved a lot of time. So yeah, 129 00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:39.399 it's fun. I mean, I love it very good. The Yeah, 130 00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:43.159 that's the I had this. I saw this TikTok account with this woman 131 00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:48.879 she would she would work as a fire warden and just you live in one 132 00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:52.879 of those lookout places for about half the year and then you can like house 133 00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:56.080 it for people. Basically, yeah, live in the house for free. 134 00:09:56.360 --> 00:10:00.759 And I hear that. Yeah, yeah, I've had this sort of fantasy 135 00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:03.720 of because I love ghost stories, so I have this sort of fantasy of 136 00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:05.840 the podcast eventually gets big enough. I'd love to just do that for a 137 00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:11.120 year and then we're writing up because the house sitting thing just collect ghost stories 138 00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:13.799 from the area and sort of put them together into like a compilation. So 139 00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:18.279 yeah, I'm very much with you there and that we've got to get this 140 00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:20.279 podcast the thing figured it out. Yeah, I's trying to figure it out 141 00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:24.320 because of another idea that I have started. I don't know if you've seen 142 00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:28.919 you know, Frankie the Kiwi account, Yes, yeah, I saw you 143 00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:33.360 on there. Yeah, so I did. I used to write. I 144 00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:37.080 liked writing and uh And when I did a show in Edinburgh years ago with 145 00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:43.600 my my May Alan, another Alan, it was called Triple A and we 146 00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:48.080 we I would I would ring him up or go, hey, here's the 147 00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:52.080 song about Gerard deperd He pissed himself on the plane. So let's call the 148 00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:54.759 show, let's call the song. What else? What would Jered deper do 149 00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:58.960 do? Just so we could say do do? And I'd go, I'd 150 00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:01.559 make noises to him and I go, can we make that into a song? 151 00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:05.879 And then he'd come back and he was He's a genius with music, 152 00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:09.559 and he made it into a song and he had an amazing Brexit song and 153 00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:11.639 the style of craft work and we did all of that and I loved it. 154 00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:16.120 But I have no concept of music. So then I start dabbling with 155 00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:20.440 AI music so I can write whatever lyrics in and then tell it the style 156 00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:24.720 I want. So I wrote a song in the style of Nirvana Seattle grunge 157 00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:28.559 about standing on Lego, you know, and it's like, fuck you, 158 00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:33.840 you Danish bricks for making these Danish bricks, and then suburban Landmoye I called 159 00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:37.720 it. So I've been thinking, I've been talking to a few different comedians 160 00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:41.480 and like with Frankie, if if I just if they give me information and 161 00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:46.519 I just make a song and then create like an album. So that's the 162 00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:50.919 other thing I'm kind of So I sat down with David for nearly two hours 163 00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:54.600 doing the World as Fuck podcast, and then I was gonna sit down with 164 00:11:54.639 --> 00:12:00.679 a friend of mine thinking for the same length of time, but only lasted 165 00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:03.600 fifteen minutes because I couldn't hear them there was too many people there. He 166 00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:09.159 was on the mountaintop using his phone. I said, this isn't a structure. 167 00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:11.120 I need to nail this if I'm going to do it properly. And 168 00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:15.639 I get you completely. The idea is there, but you want to You 169 00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:18.480 don't want to just throw it out there just because you have the idea. 170 00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:22.159 You want to perfect it and make sure it works. Yeah, so you 171 00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:26.759 and David are going to be hosting The World has Beated. He's a permanent 172 00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:31.240 cut. Yeah yeah, yeah, that's you a little bit of a control 173 00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:35.720 freak when it comes to you. Yeah, me too, Absolutely, it's 174 00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:37.759 the only way, like you're the only person that knows how to do it, 175 00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:41.879 how to deal with the way you want it, and same with the 176 00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:46.480 quizzes if I let what a quiz host do what they want. But you 177 00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:48.200 know, it's whatever it works, but it has to be there has to 178 00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:52.080 be a certain structure to it that works and you know what works because you 179 00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:56.960 know. So yeah, it's definitely a control freak when it comes to that. 180

00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:01.799 But it is good too because I recently started a two person podcast with 181 00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:05.799 another comment called met Lily, who's another big bearded guy, And yeah, 182 00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:11.480 it's been interesting learning to trust someone else to do sort of half the half 183 00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:16.960 the work. So I'll keep tuning into to your your other one because I 184 00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:20.159 quite like David, so I think that'll be a good combo for each each 185 00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:24.360 week. There. Yeah, it's fun and he genuinely doesn't know the a 186 00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:28.240 well some There was one where there was a lady singing in a pub in 187 00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:33.600 Scotland and in the middle of the solo she ate a what's it like? 188 00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:39.320 A cheesy crisp and that video went viral, so some he knows, which 189 00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:43.519 is funny. But we can go off on tangents and talk about weird shit 190 00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:46.080 and then go, oh, we're doing a quiz, you know, and 191 00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:50.879 then jump back. So he is perfect for it and the idea of like 192 00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:56.200 with the Bad Gigs, you're you're constantly chasing someone else and it's just you. 193 00:13:56.519 --> 00:14:00.360 With this one, we can just fall back into it and we'll have 194 00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:05.679 callbacks and that's perfect. That is the nice thing about having a consistent co 195 00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:07.919 host is you're sort of not starting from scratch each time. Like I've noticed 196 00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:13.080 that with with Hostown, which is my other podcast. Yeah, it's like 197 00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:16.759 you say, you kind of become familiar with each other's rhythms and then yeah, 198 00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:20.200 it's a lot easier to slip into it where it's sometimes with this one. 199 00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:24.480 There's there's a certain degree of the podcast which is feeling at the geest 200 00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:28.519 a little bit and figuring out how they kind of operate and years. So, 201 00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:31.799 oh this is a good chat. I'm I'm glad it's not just me 202 00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:35.799 experiencing a lot of this stuff. Yeah, it's like it's it's really like 203 00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:39.639 with the Bad Gigs as well, like when did you start and you have 204 00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:43.200 to you have to you have to go through a whole thing where it is 205 00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:46.879 just straight into it. We can and he's we've we've recorded twice, we 206 00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:50.399 have three episodes. We've it's going to be four episodes, but he just 207 00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:54.480 comes here. I set this ship up, it brings coffee, We sit 208 00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:58.759 down and we have a laugh. Then before we know where, two hours 209 00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:01.360

has gone on the desk, and I'm like, all right, that's two 210 00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:05.279 shows. Yep, exactly. I was gonna say, as well, just 211 00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:09.279 in terms of your I had some other questions about, just because you're doing 212 00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:13.600 this sort of thing full time, how long have you been just making a 213 00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:18.080 living off the back of comedy quizzes and everything like that? Remember, because 214 00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:22.039 I had a job. I used to work in TV in Ireland for some 215 00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:26.799 and I did TV in college, so for some reason I thought I'd just 216 00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:31.399 go straight into that stuff here and I did bits and pieces, what's it 217 00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:35.519 like? The Shopping Channel, grim horrible stuff and weird stories. It didn't 218 00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:39.480 last long. So I was desperate to make money. I had a kid. 219 00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:43.080 I was desperate to make money, and I was even this is how 220 00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:46.360 bad it was. And I'll always look back at this, And David Correas 221 00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:50.559 laughs at this every time he brings it up. I was painting country skulls 222 00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:54.919 and selling them at markets, and yeah, I got this. I made 223 00:15:54.960 --> 00:16:00.679 a mold from a glass skull I think it's Dan Akroyd's whiskey or whatever. 224 00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:06.000 Pocket I made a mold and I would pour concrete in it and then paint 225 00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:10.200 it like David Bowie or kiss or the Joke or whatever, and I'd bring 226 00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:12.840 it the places and sell it like this is how fucking desperate I had. 227 00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:15.559 I kind of had a job as well, but I kept getting sacked and 228 00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:23.080 then so then I was asked to a host of quiz and it was boring, 229 00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:27.039 and I was asked to host another, the bigger quiz, and I 230 00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:30.639 was hired as a comedian to do it, and they were giving out that 231 00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:33.240 it was being funny. I'm like, well, what's the fucking pointing getting 232 00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:38.840 a comedian? And then I e this bar, the Dueling the Dueling brothers 233 00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:44.159 took over from another bar, and the quizzers that they had there they used 234 00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:48.480 to torn up and just win and then not spend any money and come in 235 00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:52.480 on the Sunday with vouchers. So my mate, who now runs a bar 236 00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:56.279 and Mission Bay, he said, we want to we want to wind these 237 00:16:56.320 --> 00:16:59.679 people up, pissed them off, and get rid of them. So can 238 00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:03.920 you do that? Obviously you can, So so I took over yes, 239 00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:07.640 my job is to annoy people. And that's what I still see the quiz 240 00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:11.319 as now I'm trying to whine like there's there's quizzes that come to it. 241 00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:15.240 It's too it's not just questions, there's call baxters. I'm playing tricks with 242 00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:19.119 them and uh. And that's what happened at that at that quiz when I 243 00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:25.279 was I was still reading, I you know, there was a table that 244 00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:29.480 wanted the lights up because the new owners of the bar like a dark you 245 00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:33.680 know, it's it's saying with me, and she was like, excuse me, 246 00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:36.920 yeah, it's just better. She's like, we can't see our sheet. 247 00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:38.880 We need the lights on. So I called Sean over and goes, 248 00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:41.839 Sean, sorry, she can't see her sheet. So can we get big 249 00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:45.759 fucking spotlights on this table just for this woman right now? Right? So 250 00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:49.720 her husband started laughing. He started and joined the quiz, and she stopped 251 00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:52.559 and join it. And then I got to a stage where I put out 252 00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:57.079 a Facebook question. Here's a chance to win bonus points if you right the 253 00:17:57.160 --> 00:18:02.880 answer to this question on your hand and red ink or on preploy toilet paper. 254 00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:06.640 And you'd have these people running in and going there's the answer, and 255 00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:08.799 you're like, yeah, but that's blue ink? Can you change after Reddit? 256 00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:12.440 And then there licking their hands and I just got it, just got 257 00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:17.960 mad, and then I got the I set it up as a as a 258 00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:21.279 slide show because of my accent, A lot of them just didn't understand. 259 00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:25.880 And so the awards were there on the screen. And then and then the 260 00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:29.759 bars bought it, like I was quite lucky. Anytime another bar came to 261 00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:33.119 see the quiz. The quiz was really busy, you know, so so 262 00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:37.839 little easy. The lads that rand that back in the day turned up to 263 00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:42.079 the calv and it was carnage and I had people racing each other through the 264 00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:47.119 bar, playing the chase, chasing each other. And so then I sold 265 00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:48.599 it to a lot of bars, and then I made money. That was 266 00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:53.319 good. But then the more bars you have, the less control you have 267 00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:56.640 over your hosts. So some of them were turning up drunk and I was 268 00:18:56.680 --> 00:19:00.640 getting angry phone calls from managers of bars. So I reeled it back in. 269 00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:03.440 And the way I see it now, if someone wants

to host it, 270 00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:07.079 it's on them. It's a franchise. You make it work, so 271 00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:11.119 it's not me ruining a day. So when that when that started happening, 272 00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:15.039 When I started making money from that, I could relax about gigs. So 273 00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:18.200 the quiz, the quiz started, and then I wasn't so desperate about trying 274 00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:22.759 to make a living from the stand up. And then I started I wasn't 275 00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:26.799 getting as many MC gigs, and I went, right, I need to 276 00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:30.240 em see a lot to train me how to do it so I'm more comfortable 277 00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:34.000 doing it. So I started putting on my own stuff and then yeah, 278 00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:38.519 so crackup comedy happened, and then so then I just started. I had 279 00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:42.440 a definite income with Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and I could relax about 280 00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:48.039 the weekends. And then gigs got busy er and busier. So then yeah, 281 00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:49.480 so I'll have it, you know, everywhere, and I don't have 282 00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:53.720 to paint skulls anymore. That's the relief. Skull painting days are over. 283 00:19:55.240 --> 00:19:57.200 Oh stop. But I have these ideas, like I'll have a because I 284 00:19:57.240 --> 00:20:02.400 was talking to Frankie the Kiwi and he has a merch and I have a 285 00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:04.920 load of weird stuff from the quiz, like people draw penises. Everything is 286 00:20:04.920 --> 00:20:08.799 a penis. I did a fringe show. Yeah, I had to change 287 00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:14.119 it to Willie Doodles to stop and the blow no pun intended because the name 288 00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:18.000 too many, too many dick pics was I could see some people see the 289 00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:22.519 name and react before Yeah, yeah, it was. It was quite weird. 290 00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:26.599 I was at I was at a venue in Duneeden and the MC said, 291 00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:30.160 who's been to a show? And this couple that came to my show. 292 00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:33.880 They were great at the stage. I drew people in the audience as 293 00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:37.160 a penis and uh and stuff. So I had an easel on stage and 294 00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:38.920 he had a letter jacket, so I just drew this will you with a 295 00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:42.440 letter jacket and they were like, oh, we just went to see too 296 00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:45.400 many dick pics. And the EMC just got furious, going, how the 297 00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:48.359 hell is doing the show called that? And I'm sat down the back and 298 00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:52.000 then they goes to the Irish guy and then he went, oh, oh 299 00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:56.920 okay, like but it was it was his initial reaction I've seen and I 300 00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:02.880 went, yeah, one fuck you and two

uh, maybe maybe it is 301 00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:06.000 a bit too much for some people, So it became Willy Doodles. But 302 00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:11.119 I have all of these amazing drawings and that people have done that I've sold 303 00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:15.240 as books, and I have a I'm in the middle of doing a Fireman 304 00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:19.400 a Naked Fireman calendar, but it's all characters from Foreman Sam. So I 305 00:21:19.559 --> 00:21:23.200 nearly finished that, and so I'm looking at what our way is to try 306 00:21:23.240 --> 00:21:27.559 and because I've mates that selling merch in Ireland and when they come over here, 307 00:21:27.599 --> 00:21:30.880 they're selling ship like I didn't know. I didn't know you did at 308 00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:34.880 your level. I just thought I wasn't sure who sells stuff. So everyone 309 00:21:36.359 --> 00:21:37.680 is selling a song. It's just going to come up with as many different 310 00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:42.519 things as possible to try and sell. Well, I've got seen that. 311 00:21:42.519 --> 00:21:47.000 That's quality. I meant to say that to you, and then I've got 312 00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:48.559 you can't really see it because the camera's a bit high, but I've got 313 00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:56.799 it's a stand up. This is drawing me on the T shirt. And 314 00:21:57.279 --> 00:22:03.720 yeah, I can highly recommend using digits to sell your merch. They are 315 00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:07.440 they run the whole back in. You just upload your designs, you create 316 00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:14.799 your store and they they handle the wrist that. Yeah, that's kind of 317 00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:19.599 how much is that? You? Just? Yeah, you use you earn. 318 00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:22.559 You don't earn a lot. You earn like a dollar or something on 319 00:22:22.599 --> 00:22:26.119 every tea. So you don't earn a lot of money unless you're moving a 320 00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:30.160 lot of merch. But yeah, no startup costs, no monthly subscription. 321 00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:33.720 Nice. Yeah, it's yeah, very happy with that. So a little 322 00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:37.200 plugs there for them. I don't think they you never know, yeah, 323 00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:41.720 you never know. Fucking getting warm. Yeah, so that's there's a dog 324 00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:48.960 on me as well. Can move will in a straight jacket. Every time 325 00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:52.839 you're you know, you're trying to do something that is like sitting down or 326 00:22:52.920 --> 00:22:56.920 yoga whatever, your dogs don't you know, they don't know what it is. 327 00:22:56.920 --> 00:22:59.119 They're just like, yeah, I want to get involved with that. 328 00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:03.200 He's not aware it's a podcast. He's just like, oh, he's talking, 329 00:23:03.960 --> 00:23:07.319 that's it. Yeah, yeah, it must be talking to me. 330 00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:11.240 And he's trying to make up for being naughty last night. So then I 331 00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:17.240 was going to say I had a follow up question about your your quiz being 332 00:23:17.359 --> 00:23:19.759 so well one thing as well. That's so that that's one piece of advice 333 00:23:19.759 --> 00:23:23.880 if there's any filligling comedians out there, do some stuff that can get your 334 00:23:23.920 --> 00:23:27.160 sort of Monday Tuesday Wednesday sort. And I'm currently working on the Monday. 335 00:23:27.160 --> 00:23:32.359 I've got Tuesday Wednesday and then a Thursday, like we run a stand up 336 00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:36.400 show. But yeah, So the one thing I found is it's hard to 337 00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:40.160 get a Monday. Do you have any tips for me or anyone else? 338 00:23:40.279 --> 00:23:42.759 Is to have convinced places to do a Monday. It's weird because I used 339 00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:45.839 to do I used to do an open mic on a Monday as well, 340 00:23:47.559 --> 00:23:52.559 and bars are willing to pay some bars, maybe I'm willing to pay a 341 00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:56.039 couple of hundred just to have something on. So when I did an open 342 00:23:56.079 --> 00:24:00.440 mic on a Monday, you would get people come in, so the bar 343 00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:03.119 would make a little bit of money, but not not a lot. And 344 00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:07.880 there was something happening, and it looked like something was happening. So it's 345 00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:11.359 it's just trying to convince them, like it is hard, but I think 346 00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:18.759 like it's an open mic night, it's probably the easiest because they the comedians. 347 00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:22.079 If the bar isn't given a free drink, the comedians may buy a 348 00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:27.359 drink of some sort or whatever. And but the quiz, I don't. 349 00:24:27.799 --> 00:24:30.799 I don't know how it's it's just it's worked and it's busy, like it 350 00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:36.039 was carnage last weekend and our last Monday, and it might be again, 351 00:24:36.200 --> 00:24:40.519 I'm assuming tonight. So it's just to show them a package that works and 352 00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:44.559 convinced them and uh and and and that's it. But do you have to 353 00:24:44.599 --> 00:24:48.079 think as well, there's a lot of comedians that look down on quizzes and 354 00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:53.319 and you look down the nose and quiz yeah, like you know so well, 355 00:24:53.640 --> 00:24:56.880 it would just do it. It's a job, you know what I 356 00:24:56.880 --> 00:24:59.319 mean. And it's fun if you do it right in his phone of mine, 357 00:24:59.319 --> 00:25:03.039 because Mike Quiz is my quiz. I'm in top of control of it. 358 00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:06.599 It's not just me doing the quiz. It's me working and hustling and 359 00:25:06.839 --> 00:25:10.839 and it's and I love it and it makes me right, like I'm constantly 360 00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:15.480 coming up with ideas and and and stuff. So like

whatever's happening in the 361 00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:22.359 world, Like what was it when the what's his name fucking Destiny Church Brian 362 00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:27.319 Tammicky when they were threatening all the schools for you know, they were going 363 00:25:27.359 --> 00:25:33.920 to do our libraries because the drag queen stuff and painting the rainbow's why. 364 00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:37.599 So I just put Brian Hammicky's face on iconic women in the quiz and you 365 00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:41.400 had to get who the iconic I got a couple of threats from that one, 366 00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:44.880 but I don't think that's never gonna happen. But uh yeah, so 367 00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:48.440 it's that it's fun keeping. Yeah. So, and that's the thing I'm 368 00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:52.079 learning with social media now, I need to be I just left it for 369 00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:56.079 the pub and whoever was in that room. Now I'm realizing I need to 370 00:25:56.079 --> 00:26:00.519 be putting this content out everywhere and let people see. So, yeah, 371 00:26:00.519 --> 00:26:03.279 I'm getting into day. Yes, that's the big thing. So I've got 372 00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:07.880 a list. I'm going to eventually make a video, hopefully this week or 373 00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:10.640 next week. I'm going to film it and it's going to be sort of 374 00:26:10.640 --> 00:26:12.960 my five steps that you can kind of take if you want to get out 375 00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:17.279 of your job and do your stead of creative thing. And one of them 376 00:26:17.440 --> 00:26:21.079 is one that I've only just recently begun doing myself. But it's like you've 377 00:26:21.119 --> 00:26:23.400 got to be as well as running your gigs and earning your money, you've 378 00:26:23.440 --> 00:26:30.759 got to also be putting content online like yeah, reels and podcast whatever it 379 00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:36.319 is, because that's you know, like if you can't get on the TV 380 00:26:36.759 --> 00:26:38.759 or anything like that. That was the old way that people would make fans 381 00:26:38.799 --> 00:26:41.400 a people would see them on the TV. And then I'll come out to 382 00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:44.279 see them at a live show and then that. So you know, TikTok 383 00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:48.480 is the new sort of way of reaching the mass market sort of thing. 384 00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:52.640 So like TV is dying and you know, just streaming and stuff, but 385 00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:57.240 not everyone's sitting there and looking at a stream and thing. So whereas what 386 00:26:57.640 --> 00:27:02.559 you used to want to get on a garlic now record every gig and with 387 00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:06.599 good equipment. That's every gig is a galap every gig. I had a 388 00:27:06.680 --> 00:27:11.759 video, had a video where the funck is it? So I have this 389 00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:21.880 routine about going to the town called Muff in Ireland where my hang on set 390 00:27:21.920 --> 00:27:29.079 there it is he's just reaching off camera for something. So I did this 391 00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:33.039 routine. I did this routine about Muff and the names of stuff. It's 392 00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:36.119 as it's famous for having a diving club. That's basically it, right, 393 00:27:36.559 --> 00:27:40.079 and it's it's the Muff. What's that hang on? It's the Muff Diving 394 00:27:40.079 --> 00:27:42.680 Club and it's it's famous and they love it. Everything in the town is 395 00:27:42.759 --> 00:27:48.440 named after after Muff, Muff barbers and whatever. And I did it and 396 00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:52.319 I went viral. I did it in Australia and at the Comics lounge in 397 00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:56.000 Melbourne and I went mental. The video went mental. And then the CEO 398 00:27:56.400 --> 00:28:00.839 of the Muff Diving Club got in touch and said, we want to make 399 00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:03.720 you an honorary member of the Muff Diving Club. So they sent me a 400 00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:10.039 T shirt and they sent me here's my cards. I don't know if you 401 00:28:10.039 --> 00:28:15.359 can see that. Yeah, the Muff Diving card and a certificate. Now 402 00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:18.599 I don't think customs knew what was going on, so it's all a bit 403 00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:23.559 scrambled up, but it's a certificate. This is the certify that Alan McElroy 404 00:28:23.640 --> 00:28:27.920 is a lifelong member of the Muff Diving Club of Ireland and should be given 405 00:28:29.039 --> 00:28:36.039 all the fellowship and privileges of such membership, signed by dmail and and made. 406 00:28:36.079 --> 00:28:37.880 There's a few people. Courtney Cox has one. So I'm up there 407 00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:44.359 with Courtney Cox. She's in the club. Yeah, so you're seemly. 408 00:28:44.480 --> 00:28:48.559 It's like when a university makes someone like an honorary pH d or an honorary 409 00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:52.000 doctor. Yeah, you've got right up. More fun And I'm never gonna 410 00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:55.880 go I'm never gonna go diving, Like I'm not going into the cold water. 411 00:28:56.000 --> 00:28:59.000 But it's it's gone on the wall and I love it. Sorry, 412 00:28:59.839 --> 00:29:00.880 they got a great amount of press from that, so you probably did them 413 00:29:00.920 --> 00:29:04.880 a favor. Yeah maybe, But that's the thing. It's it's you put 414 00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:10.799 videos out and you know, talking to one of my mates to you don't 415 00:29:10.799 --> 00:29:14.680 know, on a different podcast under bud Gigs, he says a mate of 416 00:29:14.720 --> 00:29:19.119 hiss and in Ireland or England had one video that went well and then he's 417 00:29:19.160 --> 00:29:23.119 touring around the place. So yeah, somebody you know said to me, 418 00:29:23.200 --> 00:29:26.279 it's spinning the lottery. Each time you upload a clip is spinning the lot 419 00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:30.079 of rent. All you need is

one to go off and then you can 420 00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:34.279 build from that. So yeah, it's and I even hid myself. I 421 00:29:34.319 --> 00:29:37.839 think I can talk about this now because I think the events happened. But 422 00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:44.240 someone from Dunedin University stumbled onto my page somehow, and because I was one 423 00:29:44.279 --> 00:29:47.839 of the few comics that they'd seen that actually had clips uploaded, they were 424 00:29:47.839 --> 00:29:48.799 like, cool, we kind of know what he's going to do. So 425 00:29:49.240 --> 00:29:52.720 I got sort of cold called about that, like we couldn't make it work 426 00:29:52.759 --> 00:29:55.759 because they thought I was local, so the travel wasn't in the budget. 427 00:29:55.799 --> 00:30:00.359 But yeah, so comics out there like post your stuff. People are people 428 00:30:00.440 --> 00:30:03.599 are watching, despite it feels like shelling into the void most of the time. 429 00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:07.440 But yeah, but there's also the other side of it, where because 430 00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:11.519 I do a lot of crowd work, so a lot of stuff I share 431 00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:15.640 would be crowd work, and I'd only share if it's if it's good. 432 00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:18.519 I'm in the middle of well, I haven't even I did a gig durther 433 00:30:18.599 --> 00:30:22.480 night and a girl got up and just walked through these big doors to the 434 00:30:22.519 --> 00:30:26.799 toilets, and seconds later a man came out of the doors that I never 435 00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:30.319 seen walk in. So we took the pace going like that was the quickest 436 00:30:30.359 --> 00:30:36.039 gender change starting their ese and it was really funny. So there's that weird 437 00:30:36.039 --> 00:30:38.480 stuff happens then and you capture it. That's great. But then on the 438 00:30:38.480 --> 00:30:44.799 other hand, I've done some gigs and I've seen the acts instead of the 439 00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:48.519 open mic acts. Instead of trying to develop a routine or as solid five 440 00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:53.920 minutes, they're really trying to force crowd work and it's just slightly offensive and 441 00:30:53.960 --> 00:30:59.039 a doesn't work. So there's that as well. Where because I had this 442 00:30:59.079 --> 00:31:03.240 conversation with him really established one of the biggest names in the country Door night, 443 00:31:03.359 --> 00:31:07.759 and I said, because he's only starting to get into it now when 444 00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:11.000 he recorded a kind of special to chop up because it's now he understands, 445 00:31:11.079 --> 00:31:15.839 and he said he doesn't want to burn his material, And I said, 446 00:31:15.240 --> 00:31:19.279 you can write new material born if you have something and you do it in 447 00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:22.960 front of a crowd that's hot and it's maybe at your best bit and it 448 00:31:23.119 --> 00:31:26.240 fucking tears the roof off, share it, get down out there and then 449 00:31:26.440 --> 00:31:30.160 just keep writing again. It doesn't don't worry about your best material, just 450 00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:36.480 keep on doing it. Yeah, you know, it's I've also been shocked 451 00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:41.480 because everyone here's this delusion that like if they post something online, then every 452 00:31:41.519 --> 00:31:44.680 single person that's going to come and see them live will have watched it online. 453 00:31:44.880 --> 00:31:48.559 Yeah. I've been posting content for like two years now, and every 454 00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:52.319 single time at a gig, I say, is anyone nur seen my? 455 00:31:52.640 --> 00:31:56.240 You know, TikTok or YouTube? Fucking nobody has seen me. Yeah, 456 00:31:56.319 --> 00:32:00.839 so don't worry about it. It's not Yeah those people. Those people barely 457 00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:02.759 leave the house, you know what I mean. So it's a yeah, 458 00:32:02.839 --> 00:32:07.680 it's like, and there's another a friend of mine, maybe it's the same 459 00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:12.119 guy you're a guy was talking about he did he did a routine, not 460 00:32:12.160 --> 00:32:14.960 a routine. He was at a wedding and he was giving the mic. 461 00:32:15.079 --> 00:32:17.960 He's a good comedian and he just started ripping into stuff and having a laugh. 462 00:32:19.519 --> 00:32:22.720 And that video went viral and I even had my auntie text me from 463 00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:28.160 Oireland saying, can you get his contact details? We want to book them 464 00:32:28.160 --> 00:32:30.200 for you know what I mean. So it's it's one of them where that 465 00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:35.240 just went mental. It was hilarious. So on one hand, not everyone 466 00:32:35.240 --> 00:32:37.799 has seen it on your hands, so what you know? So what, 467 00:32:37.839 --> 00:32:39.920 it's only a bit, it's a it's one minute thirty seconds at most, 468 00:32:40.200 --> 00:32:44.720 exactly. Yeah, so we we spent quite a lot longer than I thought 469 00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:46.319 we were going to talking about that. My I got the little zoom thing 470 00:32:46.359 --> 00:32:52.720 opening up. Ah, you're on poor Man's ILM as well, So if 471 00:32:52.759 --> 00:32:54.759 it's cool with you, we'll take a short break and then we'll do look 472 00:32:54.880 --> 00:32:58.200 into your joys after the break. Is that all right? Yeah? Yeah, 473 00:32:58.240 --> 00:33:01.240 of course nobodies. So I'll send you new zim zoom link shortly and 474 00:33:01.559 --> 00:33:12.039 we'll be right back after these messages from our sponsors, brilliant sponsors. Sorry 475 00:33:12.039 --> 00:33:14.559 to interrupt the show, but I've got to be a shell for a second. 476 00:33:15.079 --> 00:33:17.799 I'm historically bad at self promotion, but it's one of those things I 477 00:33:17.799 --> 00:33:21.880 need to get better at, So here goes. If you like what I 478 00:33:21.920 --> 00:33:25.200 do and

want to support me going forward, here's how. The main thing 479 00:33:25.240 --> 00:33:29.400 you can do if you want to help this podcast grow is to tell people 480 00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:32.640 about it, share my posts and reels on social media, and of course, 481 00:33:34.039 --> 00:33:37.839 leave a cheeky review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or your favorite podcatcher. 482 00:33:38.359 --> 00:33:42.799 In terms of social media, here's where to follow me.

It's a lighthearted take on modern masculinity as the two of us try 491 00:34:19.280 --> 00:34:22.280 to strike a balance between being scholars and cave men, with plenty of bally 492 00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:27.199 laughs along the way. Hostown is eventually going to have its own feed on 493 00:34:27.239 --> 00:34:30.679 the tape Deck Media network, but for now, the easiest thing to do 494 00:34:30.800 --> 00:34:35.159 is to search Hostown podcast into YouTube, where you can watch the full videos 495 00:34:35.199 --> 00:34:38.000 of the full episodes we release them all free up on there.

I've also got a survey running at the moment so 499 00:34:49.199 --> 00:34:52.719 that I can find out what people do and don't like about the podcast. 500 00:34:52.320 --> 00:34:57.599 Visit Taylor Uddle dot com slash podcast to have your say. It really helps 501 00:34:57.599 --> 00:35:00.679 me out. I'll check a link in the show notes to that. Thank 502 00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:02.639 you for indulging me. That's all the shilling out of the way. Let's 503 00:35:02.639 --> 00:35:09.119 get back to the shower and we are, Beck. Let's get into some 504 00:35:09.280 --> 00:35:13.039 of these tiny joys you brought with you today, Alan, So what was 505 00:35:13.079 --> 00:35:17.199 your first one on the list today? My first one is solid, A 506 00:35:17.280 --> 00:35:22.320 solid flow of green traffic lights while driving. You know you're driving, and 507 00:35:22.360 --> 00:35:24.960 it turns, it turns the same with walking as well. I'm not anti 508 00:35:25.039 --> 00:35:30.639 walkist if you're driving toward the lights and it turns green and you don't have 509 00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:35.039 to change speed. And I had one of them yesterday and it was just 510 00:35:35.760 --> 00:35:38.960 it's hard to explain, Like I came home and I had that extra enjoyment, 511 00:35:39.159 --> 00:35:43.960 Like my missus looked at me and she's like, it all right, 512 00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:46.719 I goes just green lights, man, green light's the whole way home. 513 00:35:47.000 --> 00:35:52.920 And it was beautiful because I'm sure there's a certain element of stress. There's 514 00:35:52.960 --> 00:35:58.440 certain roads I won't go because I know it takes longer for drivers to turn 515 00:35:58.800 --> 00:36:00.840 right because of the way the trap glouds are set up. And then also 516 00:36:00.840 --> 00:36:05.599 a couple of days ago, like if you're the top of the queue at 517 00:36:05.599 --> 00:36:08.599 the traffic lights, it's your job to fucking be ready. As soon as 518 00:36:08.599 --> 00:36:13.519 that's green, you go. You fucking go right. That's your job, 519 00:36:13.559 --> 00:36:17.760 that's your that's your your responsibility as a human. And there's people I walked 520 00:36:17.760 --> 00:36:21.119 by your car yesterday and I don't know. I think they were on the 521 00:36:21.199 --> 00:36:25.239 phone and the car behind so they went through the fall and went red again 522 00:36:25.280 --> 00:36:30.119 and they were stopped, and I'd be film and going it's your fucking job 523 00:36:30.199 --> 00:36:35.159 to go. Don't slow down anyone else, just do it. A memory 524 00:36:35.440 --> 00:36:39.400 society you're obligated to to Like it's a very it's a high precious situation. 525 00:36:39.480 --> 00:36:43.400 It's like on the plane, you know when you get seated in the emergency 526 00:36:43.440 --> 00:36:45.760 exit rore, and yeah, it's the same thing. You just got to 527 00:36:45.840 --> 00:36:50.320 pretend you know what to do when they're plane crashes, but in truth you'll 528 00:36:50.320 --> 00:36:52.400 be dead, so you don't have to worry about smoke on the wing or 529 00:36:52.639 --> 00:36:55.679 pulling this thing in an order. And that's like, I don't know if 530 00:36:55.719 --> 00:37:01.239 you've ever flown bar of your air If you're the last one on the plane, 531 00:37:01.239 --> 00:37:04.920 you shut the door, you know, it's your job to shut it. 532 00:37:05.039 --> 00:37:07.760 So that's extra pressure. I don't have that thing with driving, like 533 00:37:08.159 --> 00:37:12.119 we we all we all need to get where we're going, and some people 534 00:37:12.119 --> 00:37:15.719 will go slower, some people will go faster, but it's it's when. 535 00:37:16.159 --> 00:37:20.000 So we had this. We were driving up North a couple of years ago 536 00:37:20.400 --> 00:37:24.360 and it was really busy traffic for

Christmas and it was a single lane of 537 00:37:24.360 --> 00:37:30.079 traffic and then it turned into two lanes. So where obviously, if everyone 538 00:37:30.199 --> 00:37:32.440 does it right, everyone goes faster gets where we need to go. With 539 00:37:32.559 --> 00:37:37.400 the four hour drive to up north. Right, this this guy pulled into 540 00:37:37.440 --> 00:37:42.920 the the overtaking lane and slowed it down to the same speed, wouldn't let 541 00:37:43.000 --> 00:37:46.599 anyone overtake, and twice I was behind him. Right, So what I 542 00:37:46.679 --> 00:37:52.440 did was he stupidly drove a branded van. His company was on the van 543 00:37:53.480 --> 00:37:58.960 every fucking time. So now I've slowed down, but I've got really re 544 00:37:59.599 --> 00:38:01.920 excited about it. Yesterday, when I see a sign on a on a 545 00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:07.280 lamp post for rufers wanted free quote. Every time I went into a supermarket, 546 00:38:07.599 --> 00:38:12.800 I would get a card and put down his name and number and free 547 00:38:12.960 --> 00:38:17.039 leaves collection, free blah blah blah, and I'd pull it up. Now, 548 00:38:17.119 --> 00:38:21.840 I'd never see the payoff of that, but I just wanted to waste 549 00:38:21.840 --> 00:38:25.280 a little bit of his time as much as he wasted our time. And 550 00:38:25.360 --> 00:38:30.280 again that's it's not in the list. But it was a lovely little happy 551 00:38:30.360 --> 00:38:34.199 moment of joy. When I thought imagine him getting another phone call saying, 552 00:38:34.239 --> 00:38:37.360 hey, where's the free fridge. I'm ready for the free fridge, or 553 00:38:37.480 --> 00:38:39.519 where's that ten dollar haircut? I just go, yeah, I hope you 554 00:38:39.599 --> 00:38:43.599 have it a horrible day. That's incredible. I never thought to do that, 555 00:38:43.800 --> 00:38:46.239 but there's a little top tip out there for the listeners. If they've 556 00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:51.400 got the number written on the ven abuse, I saw it. That's it. 557 00:38:51.719 --> 00:38:57.159 No one drives like they have more of a deeth wish than those sign 558 00:38:57.199 --> 00:39:00.840 written VENs. Usually they're like electric or plumbers, and they Yeah, if 559 00:39:00.880 --> 00:39:05.679 I see those, you know they've got like a pipe going on across the 560 00:39:05.719 --> 00:39:08.360 top of the event, which I assume is like other electrical gear and stuff, 561 00:39:08.400 --> 00:39:13.079 isn't it. I avoid those. If I see one of those on 562 00:39:13.079 --> 00:39:15.559 the road, it's they're going to do some maniac level stuff. And I 563 00:39:15.599 --> 00:39:20.280 have no idea where they're trying to get what why they're in such a rush 564 00:39:20.280 --> 00:39:23.559 to get them, especially with that pipe on the thing or a plank awards. 565 00:39:24.119 --> 00:39:28.480 Because they're irrational. You don't know when they're going to hit the brakes, 566 00:39:28.519 --> 00:39:31.480 and because we've we've grown up watching final destinations that what it's called. 567 00:39:31.880 --> 00:39:35.920 Anytime I drive behind one of them, I go, this brick is on 568 00:39:35.960 --> 00:39:38.000 his phone, he's not paying attention. He's going to hit the brakes, 569 00:39:38.079 --> 00:39:43.280 and that ward is coming straight through into my head and that as me god 570 00:39:43.440 --> 00:39:46.559 like driving. Isn't saying I don't really drive in rush hour because I avoid 571 00:39:46.559 --> 00:39:50.920 it with my job. But I did a gig at the Iris Club up 572 00:39:50.960 --> 00:39:55.000 near Eden Park on Saturday night, so leaving at the same time as all 573 00:39:55.000 --> 00:40:00.000 the cars leaving the game. It was crazy. And you're watching taxi drivers 574 00:40:00.039 --> 00:40:05.360 drive against traffic, just breaking every law just to make their money. And 575 00:40:05.400 --> 00:40:09.280 it was it's only when you're in those situations you go, it's not It's 576 00:40:09.320 --> 00:40:13.039 not like just driving behind that one guy with a planket, wood or a 577 00:40:13.039 --> 00:40:16.880 pipe. These people from every angle that could crash into you, and you 578 00:40:16.960 --> 00:40:21.960 know, and it's And I got crashed into before coming out. I watched 579 00:40:21.960 --> 00:40:24.039 them drive into me. And I'm sitting there in the car talking to Giant 580 00:40:24.119 --> 00:40:29.800 and this car just slowly drove into me and hit the car, did a 581 00:40:29.800 --> 00:40:32.079 bit of damage, not too hard, didn't do any damage to me. 582 00:40:32.519 --> 00:40:37.639 I'm banging on the horn. I snapped. I got him to pull over 583 00:40:37.679 --> 00:40:39.440 straight away. I don't know what took over, but I was like, 584 00:40:39.480 --> 00:40:43.679 give me your give me your pa, give me your driver's license. I 585 00:40:43.679 --> 00:40:45.280 don't know, I don't know what happened, but I turned into a cop. 586 00:40:45.320 --> 00:40:49.320 Give me that photograph, photograph, blah blah blah blah blum. And 587 00:40:49.360 --> 00:40:52.800 then he said, I don't know what happened. I was distracted by the 588 00:40:52.800 --> 00:40:57.079 big yellow truck behind you, and I said, there was no There was 589 00:40:57.159 --> 00:41:00.039 no yellow truck behind me. There was a small car. So he was 590 00:41:00.440 --> 00:41:05.159 on something as well. So I got So it's it's that you never know 591 00:41:05.280 --> 00:41:07.639 what's going to happen. So why I'm freaked out when I'm driving in general, 592 00:41:07.719 --> 00:41:12.800 So it's sight when there's more lunatics out there. I hate nothing more 593 00:41:12.840 --> 00:41:16.039 than when you see someone pulling up behind you to stop at the lights and 594 00:41:16.079 --> 00:41:20.880 you can see their eyes of flicking down and you're like, keep off your 595 00:41:20.960 --> 00:41:24.760 goddamn phone, just carry on, you

know what I mean. I haven't 596 00:41:24.800 --> 00:41:29.519 seen anyone that brazen and Christus did it, but I always see the eyes 597 00:41:29.719 --> 00:41:34.280 flicking down into the leak and it's like, TikTok, can wait? Yeah 598 00:41:34.519 --> 00:41:37.599 you don't need to see it. Yeah, no, I do understand. 599 00:41:37.679 --> 00:41:40.559 Like there is another thing that annoys me, and it's when people have a 600 00:41:40.599 --> 00:41:45.159 full, fully loud conversation on the phone walking through a supermarket or whatever, 601 00:41:45.199 --> 00:41:49.960 and you can hear both ends of the calls and it winds me up. 602 00:41:50.000 --> 00:41:54.840 But then I had a normal phone call without earphones with a comedian last year, 603 00:41:55.199 --> 00:41:58.840 and I had my phone to me here while I was talking, but 604 00:41:58.880 --> 00:42:01.719 the way phones are now with the screen, and he just goes, sorry, 605 00:42:01.760 --> 00:42:05.400 I'm gonna have to stop you there. I am looking in your ear 606 00:42:05.599 --> 00:42:08.599 right now. So whatever way I had this opened up, my phone opened 607 00:42:08.639 --> 00:42:13.159 up the camera call and he was looking in my ear and I went, 608 00:42:13.280 --> 00:42:16.719 oh, okay, so back to the earphones. Then yeah, yeah, 609 00:42:16.800 --> 00:42:21.239 yeah that always catches me off guard has been something sees, can I I've 610 00:42:21.239 --> 00:42:22.320 got just quick check? Can I give you a call? When you go 611 00:42:22.400 --> 00:42:24.880 yep, no worries And then then and then it's his video call and coming 612 00:42:24.880 --> 00:42:28.920 and you go, oh, I'm in my paget like I'm not decent, 613 00:42:29.000 --> 00:42:32.039 Like I wasn't looking for a video call. Stop, I'm still like my 614 00:42:32.079 --> 00:42:35.840 eyes still. Yeah, Well that's it. You start, you know, 615 00:42:35.880 --> 00:42:37.559 you're torn, you get vain, You're like because I got I got an 616 00:42:37.599 --> 00:42:40.320 oilash stuck in the oil. Last night, I was just sitting here watching 617 00:42:40.400 --> 00:42:46.039 Telly and and then this oil went bulbous and bloodshot and I'm going through different 618 00:42:46.079 --> 00:42:51.440 oil drops and then that's all I'm thinking about is because this is immortalized, 619 00:42:51.480 --> 00:42:53.239 this is this is video, this is art. Yeah, and if you 620 00:42:53.280 --> 00:42:57.840 have a mad eye, that's you know people, that's the fellow who looks 621 00:42:57.840 --> 00:43:00.480 like Tom York. It's like, no, I just had an oil in 622 00:43:00.519 --> 00:43:04.079 my eye. It's it's back to normal. Update update this picture now, 623 00:43:04.480 --> 00:43:09.760 yeah, that's yes. The I've it's so funny. I've been doing content 624 00:43:09.840 --> 00:43:16.559 online, like I've done these TikTok videos where I'm just hating on a new 625 00:43:16.639 --> 00:43:21.760 topic each time. And after I finished this initial thirty days, I've been 626 00:43:21.840 --> 00:43:24.599 uploading them again to YouTube. And now I've been seeing what I was wearing 627 00:43:24.760 --> 00:43:28.559 on the day and I'm just like, oh, that's yeah. I didn't 628 00:43:28.719 --> 00:43:30.679 think that I was going to have to look at this more than once. 629 00:43:30.639 --> 00:43:37.360 Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's uh yeah, you really put some thought 630 00:43:37.360 --> 00:43:40.320 into this, you do, because it's the images of me out there post 631 00:43:40.320 --> 00:43:45.039 lockdown. We got fully into red wine. Now we had to stop drinking 632 00:43:45.079 --> 00:43:47.599 it because it's it's dangerous. Red wine is poison, and we were drinking 633 00:43:47.639 --> 00:43:51.679 boxes of it. And it's only when I look back at photographs I can 634 00:43:51.880 --> 00:43:57.119 I can see the difference because it's the toxins in red wine was crazy, 635 00:43:57.199 --> 00:44:00.840 but it was lockdown, is it? What? No, I think that's 636 00:44:00.920 --> 00:44:04.920 I think that's whiskey. People go on about a whiskey nose. But red 637 00:44:04.920 --> 00:44:08.679 wine is just full of fucking toxins. And and I'm looking back at pictures 638 00:44:08.719 --> 00:44:13.199 and stuff, go, oh god, that's that was the red wine day? 639 00:44:13.239 --> 00:44:15.280 Is it was just how we got through And I just thought we were 640 00:44:15.280 --> 00:44:19.639 getting old and just no energy, durdan the day, and then you start 641 00:44:19.719 --> 00:44:23.039 drinking red wine and then I'm back skipping around the house and dancing all over 642 00:44:23.079 --> 00:44:27.079 the place and full of energy, and uh, but it is. It's 643 00:44:27.079 --> 00:44:30.079 funny you look back and you go, oh, I wish that video wasn't 644 00:44:30.079 --> 00:44:32.519 there, but it's a good video. Or I just look I just look 645 00:44:32.639 --> 00:44:36.239 like something. Now, will you want it? Like I ate the wrong 646 00:44:36.360 --> 00:44:39.840 chocolate? Yeah? Have you have you typed a comedy special before? No, 647 00:44:40.679 --> 00:44:45.159 I've thought about doing it. It's it's come up quite often and and 648 00:44:45.239 --> 00:44:50.599 uh and then I got a guy to help us at the Oirish Club and 649 00:44:50.599 --> 00:44:52.800 he's lovely, but all of his cameras seemed to ship themselves at the same 650 00:44:52.840 --> 00:45:00.079 time, and the audio kind of fucked up. And yeah, so I 651 00:45:00.079 --> 00:45:04.400 I have a I have a what's this thing called a roads caster too, 652 00:45:05.239 --> 00:45:08.559 So I just try and record as many of my gigs as possible. And 653 00:45:09.119 --> 00:45:13.840 you know, if I have a good set up, I might do I've 654 00:45:13.880 --> 00:45:20.079 thought about doing a special, but then there's too much effort, and even 655 00:45:20.199 --> 00:45:22.400 what they don't what they what? The crowd you get to rent the crowd 656 00:45:22.440 -->

00:45:27.800 are just not a good crowd. So so I just record everything else and 657 00:45:28.079 --> 00:45:32.800 get the best bits makes sense. I tend to one of my I guess 658 00:45:32.840 --> 00:45:37.840 nervous or stressed habits, as I'll get like I'll sweat my whole face swits 659 00:45:37.880 --> 00:45:43.159 and so the last two that I've recorded, I just had to accept that 660 00:45:43.239 --> 00:45:45.159 any special I put out, I'm going to be a switty lader tech in 661 00:45:45.199 --> 00:45:49.679 all of them. So it's yeah, and I don't sweat as much as 662 00:45:49.679 --> 00:45:53.679 I used to. I I take ash for gander. That kind of calms 663 00:45:53.679 --> 00:45:59.119 you down a bit. And is it a like a Indian Indian herb and 664 00:45:59.119 --> 00:46:02.039 and Lion's man oh Man, I'll send you a list of this stuff. 665 00:46:02.400 --> 00:46:07.119 I've found the balance. I've absolutely found the balance with the ADHD meds as 666 00:46:07.159 --> 00:46:13.840 well. But and I've been helping people privately who have anxiety and stuff like 667 00:46:13.880 --> 00:46:19.400 that, And I fucking I felt like in Nana when I walked into chemist 668 00:46:19.440 --> 00:46:22.000 warehouse and I started getting the list of different meds not meds, sorry, 669 00:46:22.079 --> 00:46:27.239 vitamins and Saint John's Walk is another one. Yeah, but you do know 670 00:46:27.239 --> 00:46:30.840 what's the difference. And the sweating the stuff I used to I used to 671 00:46:30.880 --> 00:46:35.599 sweat a lot more. I used to sweat from one arm pit more so. 672 00:46:35.599 --> 00:46:39.280 So even when I had a job in at Telly Sales here I started 673 00:46:39.800 --> 00:46:44.440 I used to get I was going to get botox at one stage, and 674 00:46:44.480 --> 00:46:49.119 I had this this really painful role on that, like it was acid of 675 00:46:49.159 --> 00:46:51.599 bourunge, of armpits. It was in pain. But then I had this 676 00:46:51.719 --> 00:46:55.320 idea if I get like sanitary pads and and put them on, but then 677 00:46:55.360 --> 00:47:00.559 you could hear the sanate, you could hear the plastically shitary pads, and 678 00:47:00.559 --> 00:47:01.960 then people, what's that noise? And then you have to explain it and 679 00:47:02.039 --> 00:47:06.360 it's weird. But but a lot of a lot of stuff for me on 680 00:47:06.400 --> 00:47:09.880 stage is sweating. But I didn't care because I'd watch comedians like Lee Evans 681 00:47:10.039 --> 00:47:15.079 that was just drenched in sweat, So it never bothered me or you're I've 682 00:47:15.119 --> 00:47:19.639 become.

Whenever you see the dog doesn't matter. 697 00:48:17.880 --> 00:48:22.880 You could be sat behind that guy who's forgetting to go at the traffic lights. 698 00:48:22.920 --> 00:48:25.800 And you come in absolutely furious, fume and different things that annoy you. 699 00:48:27.519 --> 00:48:30.440 But that dog was always always there except for now. So this is 700 00:48:30.440 --> 00:48:35.519 where the back forward. But he's so needy and he's so massive, like 701 00:48:35.559 --> 00:48:38.400 he thinks he's a lap dog. Ye, and but he will welcome you 702 00:48:38.639 --> 00:48:43.159 like it's the greatest welcome you'll ever get. And then you just sit down 703 00:48:43.280 --> 00:48:45.960 and it just all stress is gone and you're like, you know what, 704 00:48:46.360 --> 00:48:50.760 fuck, it doesn't matter.

And yeah, so he's going to 708 00:49:02.400 --> 00:49:07.039 get the run around in in a few minutes for the listeners. What kind 709 00:49:07.039 --> 00:49:09.400 of dog is Ramsey? Oh here, I'm gonna end up doing and material. 710 00:49:09.559 --> 00:49:15.960 He's a he's a rescue dog. So we because I couldn't afford a 711 00:49:15.000 --> 00:49:21.440 real dog, and so I went to see there was the sharpay mast ups. 712 00:49:21.480 --> 00:49:23.000 Now I tell this story on stage. I didn't know where the share 713 00:49:23.079 --> 00:49:27.280 pay was. Genuinely, I thought it was just a marker penn. I 714 00:49:27.360 --> 00:49:30.280 never heard of the sharre Pay. But it's a Sharpay is a Chinese fighting 715 00:49:30.320 --> 00:49:34.320 dog and a master up is just a big dog. So he was being 716

00:49:34.360 --> 00:49:37.960 bred to be a killer, and him and his siblings and they were all 717 00:49:38.000 --> 00:49:43.400 rescued and they were all named after characters of Friends, and he was he 718 00:49:43.519 --> 00:49:45.639 was Joey and I initially I was going to get a dog and call it 719 00:49:45.760 --> 00:49:50.440 shit head, beatle juice, shit head because I wanted to get Jack Russell. 720 00:49:50.800 --> 00:49:53.280 And then I saw him. I saw his sister and she was like 721 00:49:53.280 --> 00:49:57.079 a cat, just didn't care. And then I saw him and he just 722 00:49:57.159 --> 00:50:00.280 knocked me flying and licked my face and I fell in love. So and 723 00:50:00.320 --> 00:50:05.239 then because of his wrinkle wrinkley head, a Sharpay has a wrinkly forehead. 724 00:50:05.480 --> 00:50:09.119 That's why his name is Gordon Ramsey. So he's He's Ramsey and he's He's 725 00:50:09.159 --> 00:50:13.519 and he looks a bit like Scooby Deal as well. So he's just a 726 00:50:13.559 --> 00:50:15.559 big just a big dope. So yeah, he's he's a lot of fun. 727 00:50:16.000 --> 00:50:20.079 I've seen the food thing as well. You do quite a lot of 728 00:50:20.159 --> 00:50:22.519 social media content where you'll be giving him some interesting food and he seems like 729 00:50:22.559 --> 00:50:28.360 he eats quite well, so the Ramsey thing. He had a he had 730 00:50:28.360 --> 00:50:31.559 a bit of stew. Jane was sick. It was COVID, but we 731 00:50:31.599 --> 00:50:37.320 didn't know. And she's fine now, Like I convinced you had COVID several 732 00:50:37.320 --> 00:50:43.639 times and just do the testory and enough something. I think she just waves 733 00:50:43.639 --> 00:50:45.599 it around and pretends she does it. So I made her. I made 734 00:50:45.639 --> 00:50:49.880 her chicken soup, and I made a lot of it, so there was 735 00:50:49.920 --> 00:50:53.079 some left over. So he gets his dinner drizzled with some chicken soup. 736 00:50:53.159 --> 00:51:00.920 And I've made him. I've made him cakes, made them fancy dinners, 737 00:51:01.960 --> 00:51:07.360 cheeseburger once think that a lot hidden back from a from a gig or something. 738 00:51:07.440 --> 00:51:09.800 Do he come now? And then doesn't he bring him? He comes 739 00:51:09.800 --> 00:51:13.920 on stage with me as well. I bring him everywhere, mainly because he 740 00:51:14.039 --> 00:51:17.800 is needy. So Jane was away climbing, half climbing everest or something, 741 00:51:17.800 --> 00:51:22.519 and so I had to bring him everywhere with me, and so I bring 742 00:51:22.559 --> 00:51:24.280 him on stage. And if he's allowed in the venue, he comes in 743 00:51:24.320 --> 00:51:29.079 and he's just used to it, like I don't think he realizes he's a 744 00:51:29.159 --> 00:51:31.239 dog. Like he sits, he sits on the sofa, he sits back 745 00:51:31.320 --> 00:51:34.840 like that I was gonna say, his balls hanging down, but he doesn't 746 00:51:34.880 --> 00:51:39.119 have balls

anymore. But he just sits there watching Telly and like he like 747 00:51:39.199 --> 00:51:43.000 the other day, I think he knew why he was going to sneak out 748 00:51:43.000 --> 00:51:45.159 to go to the gym and I couldn't. I was like, where the 749 00:51:45.199 --> 00:51:50.079 fuck? And he was up in my room sitting on my shoes, Yeah, 750 00:51:50.320 --> 00:51:53.719 sitting on them, Like he's like, you're not going anywhere, don't 751 00:51:53.760 --> 00:51:59.159 they They can tell you see that look on their face of like they know 752 00:51:59.199 --> 00:52:01.360 you're about to leave and you have the harness on or what of, so 753 00:52:01.400 --> 00:52:05.639 they know it's this is not I'm not coming with you this time. So 754 00:52:05.800 --> 00:52:08.719 yeah, they know I can't handle that face. You know, I can't 755 00:52:08.719 --> 00:52:13.320 handle it if I'm walking out. So so, and it's like, if 756 00:52:13.400 --> 00:52:15.840 I was to walk to the gym here, it's ten minutes walk ten minutes 757 00:52:15.880 --> 00:52:21.000 back. Yeah, so it's easier if I just drive to City Fitness somewhere 758 00:52:21.000 --> 00:52:24.000 else, run around the field with him, get get him tired, and 759 00:52:24.039 --> 00:52:29.280 then do twenty minutes of pretending to work out, just sitting on my phone 760 00:52:29.320 --> 00:52:32.639 looking at TikTok and then and then come out. So that's yeah, that's 761 00:52:32.679 --> 00:52:36.760 the kind of routine that we get up there during the day. Love it. 762 00:52:37.559 --> 00:52:40.039 So what was your next tiny joy there? Ah, when you find 763 00:52:40.039 --> 00:52:44.679 a TV show that you completely missed out on and there's loads of seasons, 764 00:52:44.960 --> 00:52:47.280 Oh is this breaking bed for you? Because you've mentioned it a couple of 765 00:52:47.280 --> 00:52:51.960 times I've seen I've watched it all. This is weird. I watched it 766 00:52:52.599 --> 00:52:55.480 whenever it was out, and it's it's in same with Jane. I didn't 767 00:52:55.480 --> 00:52:59.239 know Jane when it came out, and the two of us are watching it 768 00:52:59.320 --> 00:53:02.760 going I can't remember any of this, so it's almost like watching it from 769 00:53:02.760 --> 00:53:07.960 the start. But like the Boys when the new season is out. When 770 00:53:07.960 --> 00:53:09.880 I when I was introduced to that, I went, oh, my fucking 771 00:53:09.920 --> 00:53:14.639 god, this is amazing. And there's another there's another show. I can't 772 00:53:14.679 --> 00:53:19.760 remember what it's called, but it's an English show and it has the scene 773 00:53:19.800 --> 00:53:23.719 I saw first of all was the guy who played Prince Charles in the TV 774 00:53:23.840 --> 00:53:30.320 shows. He's a doctor and he was calling up someone to give results and 775 00:53:30.360 --> 00:53:32.719 he goes, uh, just have your results. You know the holiday you 776 00:53:32.760 --> 00:53:37.239 had planned for next year? Hansel it and it was that and I went, 777 00:53:37.320 --> 00:53:38.960 oh shit, I was in the middle of doing stuff, and I 778 00:53:39.000 --> 00:53:43.639 went, now, I can't I find the name somewhere, but I googled 779 00:53:43.719 --> 00:53:45.639 him and I had five seasons that I've never seen, and I'm like, 780 00:53:45.679 --> 00:53:51.760 oh my god. So as soon as this the Breaking Bat is over and 781 00:53:51.800 --> 00:53:53.719 I'm going through Fringe again. As soon as that's over, we like, 782 00:53:53.760 --> 00:53:57.840 we have the boys, we have this show and that show and I love 783 00:53:57.840 --> 00:54:00.119 it. So it's when you figure that out and you go, ah, 784 00:54:00.239 --> 00:54:02.840 this, yeah, this is my evening sort of because we ran out of 785 00:54:02.880 --> 00:54:07.079 shit to watch with at Lockdown when nothing was being made and there was that 786 00:54:07.199 --> 00:54:12.639 stage where there was absolute zero stuff at now so it's great, that's so 787 00:54:12.800 --> 00:54:16.400 much to catch up on now it's beautiful. I had the flip the other 788 00:54:16.519 --> 00:54:22.119 side of the coin for that, as I discovered a show that has two 789 00:54:22.199 --> 00:54:24.599 seasons, and then I learned was canceled after I'd watched the first episode, 790 00:54:24.599 --> 00:54:28.519 which was one called The Lazarus Project. Have you heard of it? No? 791 00:54:28.599 --> 00:54:31.960 I haven't. It's so cool. It's a time travel one kind of 792 00:54:32.000 --> 00:54:37.760 where the main character he notices that he keeps having his life reset to the 793 00:54:37.800 --> 00:54:44.360 first of July. And what's happening is there's a secret government sort of agency 794 00:54:44.440 --> 00:54:49.559 that whenever, let's say a pandemic or something comes out, they'll do their 795 00:54:49.559 --> 00:54:52.360 best to try and stop it's world ending events like nuclear bombs going off. 796 00:54:53.320 --> 00:54:58.800 That. So then every time they fail, they have to jump back, 797 00:54:58.960 --> 00:55:01.360 and they always jump back to the first of July every like it's you know, 798 00:55:01.400 --> 00:55:06.320 each time they a year goes past, that first of July is the 799 00:55:06.360 --> 00:55:10.320 new point, and most of them have a serum that lets them remember the 800 00:55:10.679 --> 00:55:15.159 jumps. But yeah, some people develop it naturally, and so the main 801 00:55:15.239 --> 00:55:17.039 character is one of those people that just starts developing it, and so he 802 00:55:17.079 --> 00:55:22.840 gets recruited by them, and it's really good. I don't know why I 803 00:55:22.920 --> 00:55:25.599 got canceled. Maybe the second season is a let down or something. But 804 00:55:27.079 --> 00:55:29.880 I watched the first episode and was like, hell, yeah, this this 805 00:55:30.119 --> 00:55:32.559 is awesome. And then I checked the Wikipedia page and it got canceled after 806 00:55:32.559 -->

00:55:37.039 the second season, So detating, I will give that a goal. That 807 00:55:37.159 --> 00:55:43.400 reminded me of something called Studio sixty on Sunset Strip. Yeah, I don't 808 00:55:44.199 --> 00:55:45.719 kind of, I haven't heard of it. No, No, it was 809 00:55:46.440 --> 00:55:53.320 like a like Torti Rock Studios gotcha sixty on sun Saystrip and it was brilliant 810 00:55:53.320 --> 00:55:58.280 and it was done by the people that the Aaron Sark and so the people 811 00:55:58.320 --> 00:56:02.760 that did that's sorry that he did fast talking what's that thing? God Man, 812 00:56:04.239 --> 00:56:07.559 the West Wing. So it's fast talking Da da da da. And 813 00:56:07.599 --> 00:56:10.800 it's behind the scenes of like Saturday Night Live, one of those shows, 814 00:56:12.400 --> 00:56:15.360 the Right and stuff. So thirty Rock came out the same time as that, 815 00:56:15.599 --> 00:56:21.920 which often happens sometimes two different companies are making a similar idea. And 816 00:56:22.400 --> 00:56:24.519 uh, but thirty Rock, as mental and as silly as it is, 817 00:56:25.119 --> 00:56:29.440 that blew up and because that became so big, I think the other one 818 00:56:29.480 --> 00:56:32.039 only lasted one or two seasons. But the other one was brilliant in its 819 00:56:32.039 --> 00:56:36.920 own right because it was it was serious as well, so you could have 820 00:56:36.960 --> 00:56:40.119 the silly and have the serious. But again only lasted a season or two, 821 00:56:40.119 --> 00:56:45.920 and that's a shame. Yeah. Yeah, I'll definitely check it out 822 00:56:45.920 --> 00:56:50.400 because I do like all that sort of behind the scenes of thirty Rock and 823 00:56:50.440 --> 00:56:53.599 stuff. Yeah, we are up to number four of your tiny joys. 824 00:56:54.199 --> 00:57:00.639 Yeah, Air Friers. Yeah, I'm a recent convert. I think I 825 00:57:00.679 --> 00:57:02.400 don't know if you listen to this podcast, but Ocean Dinham gave me some 826 00:57:02.440 --> 00:57:07.039 good advice for the air fryer. What we love your kind of I do 827 00:57:07.159 --> 00:57:10.239 with everything in the air fryer. So there's food I miss from home, 828 00:57:10.440 --> 00:57:15.920 like Chinese takeaway food. I've figured out how to make it and I've figured 829 00:57:15.920 --> 00:57:19.800 out how to make it healthier in the air fryer. Fish and chips that 830 00:57:19.840 --> 00:57:24.239 we'd get from like an Italian chip chip shop. It's done completely different. 831 00:57:24.239 --> 00:57:28.920 It's the best chips you'll ever have. So I figured all of that out 832 00:57:28.920 --> 00:57:31.760 and I use it as a microwave. Yeah as well. Everything everything gets 833 00:57:31.800 --> 00:57:36.119 heated up in it. Everything gets done in a I don't clean it. 834 00:57:36.159 --> 00:57:38.480 So I don't clean it because I want the flavors to be there, So 835 00:57:38.519 --> 00:57:44.400 it's until it gets really smoky, then I'll rinse it.

But like Jane 836 00:57:44.440 --> 00:57:50.280 is making lasagna tonight and whenever, Like if you heat up with lasagna in 837 00:57:50.280 --> 00:57:52.559 a microwave, yeah whatever, whatever, Yeah, if you heat it up 838 00:57:52.559 --> 00:57:57.880 in the air fryer, it's crispy around the outside and then you eat get 839 00:57:57.920 --> 00:58:00.880 into the guey Oh. I love an air fry Everything everything gets done in 840 00:58:00.920 --> 00:58:05.480 it. We had a when you're talking about building up the flavor, we 841 00:58:05.559 --> 00:58:08.679 had there's a Denis and christ Church that my friends and I would go to 842 00:58:08.719 --> 00:58:14.519 every now and then ends after the lockdown. Even then I think they had 843 00:58:14.519 --> 00:58:17.480 a COVID, Like what do they call it? Someone that did you know? 844 00:58:17.599 --> 00:58:22.320 Someone they got COVID. So they did a deep clean of the kitchen 845 00:58:22.559 --> 00:58:27.360 and then we came back in after they reopened and it wasn't the same last 846 00:58:27.519 --> 00:58:30.599 flavor something was gone, yeah something. Yeah. Yeah. It's crazy because 847 00:58:30.639 --> 00:58:35.000 my sister was telling me about some I never used, I think as a 848 00:58:35.000 --> 00:58:37.719 cast iron skilling. She goes, yeah, you don't wash it because the 849 00:58:37.719 --> 00:58:40.440 flavor stay is on it. Yeah yeah, and you so I love that 850 00:58:40.480 --> 00:58:45.119 there's a bit of spice in there the same. It was funny. There 851 00:58:45.159 --> 00:58:51.000 was an Irish bar still is called a Clatter in New Market and it was 852 00:58:51.079 --> 00:58:53.400 just scummy for years, but it's an Irish bar. And then these lads 853 00:58:53.440 --> 00:58:59.400 bought it and cleaned it up and it just wasn't the same because the bank 854 00:58:59.559 --> 00:59:02.159 was gone, you know what I mean, The dank was gone. And 855 00:59:02.239 --> 00:59:07.039 now eventually Irish people re bought it and it's back to being a bit crusty. 856 00:59:07.320 --> 00:59:10.159 But it's that you need that crusty, you need that little bit of 857 00:59:10.199 --> 00:59:15.360 door flavor. Yeah, yeah, wonderful. What was I going to say? 858 00:59:15.480 --> 00:59:20.000 I think it's like that. We'll move on. What was your fifth 859 00:59:20.039 --> 00:59:30.079 tiny dots? Sorry, dry fart. It's uh, it's as you as 860 00:59:30.079 --> 00:59:34.840 you got older, it changes. And trust them less. I've heard you 861 00:59:34.840 --> 00:59:38.320 can trust them less is what people say. And it's so. I remember 862 00:59:38.360 --> 00:59:44.239 the first time and I noticed something was weird, and it's quite it's quite 863 00:59:44.280 --> 00:59:46.440 common. Uh, but I don't know when it was. It was a 864 00:59:46.480 --> 00:59:51.400 few years ago and I was in the airport. I I do sit down 865 00:59:51.440 --> 00:59:53.559 ways. I've always done sit down ways. I can't really remember why. 866

00:59:53.679 --> 00:59:58.199 I think it's as a kid, when you were out with your family and 867 00:59:58.239 --> 01:00:02.000 you were standing at a piss wall whatever I call that football games, there 868 01:00:02.039 --> 01:00:06.360 was always because you're a certain height, there was always there's knobs everywhere, 869 01:00:06.400 --> 01:00:09.800 there's dicks everywhere, first of all, and there's piss splashing off the wall, 870 01:00:10.239 --> 01:00:13.880 you know what I mean. And you're just and it was accepted that, 871 01:00:13.920 --> 01:00:15.119 oh, you're going to get covered in piss, right, and it 872 01:00:15.239 --> 01:00:20.559 was I remember. I remember it was this bar as a kid, and 873 01:00:21.239 --> 01:00:23.960 my dad brought me in and it was one of those metal piss walls, 874 01:00:24.559 --> 01:00:29.840 and there was a lot of older men, and there we because of prostate 875 01:00:29.920 --> 01:00:35.320 problems that we was coming out sporadically and almost like I remember as a kid 876 01:00:35.360 --> 01:00:39.480 thinking this is making a tune like like the the team music to Coronation Street 877 01:00:39.599 --> 01:00:45.239 or something out and it was I remember. I just remember not wanting to 878 01:00:45.239 --> 01:00:50.559 be in that scene. So I always sat down and going a cubicle do 879 01:00:50.679 --> 01:00:52.360 was sit down and way, It's cleaner, it's healthier, you don't have 880 01:00:52.400 --> 01:00:58.719 to talk to anyone, especially after a gig. If somebody goes and you're 881 01:00:58.719 --> 01:01:02.320 holding your willy and they're holding really it's horrible. So so I was in 882 01:01:02.360 --> 01:01:06.320 an airport a few years ago and I did a sit down. I was 883 01:01:06.360 --> 01:01:08.280 on a plane. I think I did a sit down way and then I 884 01:01:08.360 --> 01:01:14.000 was just wiping and then there was like a bit of pool on the tissue. 885 01:01:15.119 --> 01:01:16.360 Yeah, but I didn't do shit, and I'm like, oh my 886 01:01:16.400 --> 01:01:21.480 god, I'm walking around with ship on me. I'm walking around with shiit 887 01:01:21.559 --> 01:01:23.239 on me. And then as I got older, I realized, oh, 888 01:01:23.320 --> 01:01:28.719 you've got to always wipe because sometimes it's just it is a fart and and 889 01:01:28.760 --> 01:01:31.199 you don't want to be on paranoid the smell. I'm covering an after shave, 890 01:01:31.280 --> 01:01:35.840 the odorant, chewing them and I'm like, if there's a bit of 891 01:01:35.880 --> 01:01:39.360 poo on me, can people smell the pool? So so when they have 892 01:01:39.400 --> 01:01:46.480 a dry fart, it's lovely. So it's like you're starting to your body 893 01:01:46.639 --> 01:01:51.199 is hanging on you know, Like I said, all those vitmins they try 894 01:01:51.199 --> 01:01:55.400 and keep me work in order. When something like that happens, you're like, 895 01:01:55.480 --> 01:01:59.679 oh, this is this is like finding less hairs on your nose or 896 01:01:59.760 --> 01:02:04.119 in your ears when you're checking. Okay, the age and process is slowed 897 01:02:04.119 --> 01:02:07.480 down by your day. You've beaten nature. But you've beaten nature a little 898 01:02:07.480 --> 01:02:08.960 bit. You've beaten it back. Maybe I've beaten it back. Yeah, 899 01:02:09.000 --> 01:02:14.079 So well I love it and it's a it's it's yeah, it's it's it's 900 01:02:14.119 --> 01:02:17.000 a big joy. It's more more than just a little joy. It's a 901 01:02:17.039 --> 01:02:21.800 lovely moment where and I don't check all the time, but it's you know 902 01:02:21.840 --> 01:02:23.239 when you're doing a week and you go, oh, yeah, that was 903 01:02:23.320 --> 01:02:29.920 we got away with that one, you know. Yeah, I always thought 904 01:02:30.000 --> 01:02:37.320 there was an interesting design choice to have the rictum is that Okay, we're 905 01:02:37.320 --> 01:02:42.119 gonna we're gonna get rid of the waist the shite here, but they also 906 01:02:43.719 --> 01:02:46.360 sometimes guests needs to escape, and they were like, oh, we'll just 907 01:02:46.440 --> 01:02:51.280 make it open and close real quick and hope, yea hope that nothing else 908 01:02:51.360 --> 01:02:54.320 comes out, but that not else comes out, and it's like it could 909 01:02:54.320 --> 01:02:57.880 do it, Like it'd be nice to get an a valve somewhere on the 910 01:02:57.880 --> 01:03:02.800 socide just for the guests. That would be a yeah, instead of then 911 01:03:02.880 --> 01:03:06.960 where the ship is just like a you know, like there's wine. When 912 01:03:07.000 --> 01:03:09.480 you tap a wine thing, you can that little thing that you lift up 913 01:03:09.519 --> 01:03:14.079 whatever it is, yes, yeah, yeah, just a little like little 914 01:03:14.159 --> 01:03:17.119 kind of chimney like little whistle or something. But yeah, it'd be nice 915 01:03:17.159 --> 01:03:21.239 to get that instead of what it is. Yeah. Well, I love 916 01:03:21.480 --> 01:03:25.360 like the whole farting is is for like my missus and I didn't see her 917 01:03:25.400 --> 01:03:30.239 fared for years. And then you just start to think because you're told as 918 01:03:30.280 --> 01:03:34.239 a kid. But my mother told us that women don't fart to you that 919 01:03:34.880 --> 01:03:37.760 ohll yeah, but then girls and they said girls don't fart, but there 920 01:03:37.800 --> 01:03:40.480 was girls in my class farting all over the place. Then I'm with Jane 921 01:03:40.599 --> 01:03:45.960 years and then she's asleep and I bone was touching my leg and then she 922 01:03:45.199 --> 01:03:49.760 just farted in our sleep and then woke herself up and went, I am 923 01:03:49.920 --> 01:03:52.400 so sorry. So she's tried for a long time, did not fire around 924 01:03:52.400 --> 01:03:54.599 me. I'm like, just let it go, let it go. You'll 925 01:03:54.679 --> 01:03:59.760 end up hospitalized to be holding farts. Yeah, but yeah, so yeah, 926

01:03:59.800 --> 01:04:03.679 but a dry fart is a lovely gift from my body. It does 927 01:04:03.719 --> 01:04:11.159 feel like your body is. It's it's not repaying, rewarding you for for 928 01:04:11.239 --> 01:04:14.079 looking after it. So that's yeah, that's great. We just said the 929 01:04:14.119 --> 01:04:17.400 last sort of tenamute zoom thing you came up. Yeah, so we will. 930 01:04:17.880 --> 01:04:20.880 Let's kind of wrap things up there.

Yeah, I did have half a mind 937 01:04:47.039 --> 01:04:49.079 to see if you wanted to record while you were down there. But I 938 01:04:49.079 --> 01:04:51.599 thought you probably were a bit, you know, because you just sort of 939 01:04:51.760 --> 01:04:54.679 you were a fIF o there. You flew and flow that didn't you. 940 01:04:55.280 --> 01:04:58.000 Yeah, it was pretty quick. They dropped us in, picked us up, 941 01:04:58.000 --> 01:05:01.360 blah blah blah, do the gig hotel, wake up Bareley Airport. 942 01:05:01.599 --> 01:05:05.119 So yeah, what was saying?

Yeah, that's the first time 947 01:05:21.000 --> 01:05:26.039 we've done it since lockdown, so it was great to get back at it. 948 01:05:26.079 --> 01:05:30.280 Is it a fundraiser for the the school? I'm not quite sure. 949 01:05:30.280 --> 01:05:34.360 It's just a it's just money. It's just money. The guy is making 950 01:05:34.400 --> 01:05:38.400 money. He's making a fucking fortune. I don't know how well you know 951 01:05:38.599 --> 01:05:43.239 the sort of southern South Island, but Selwyn which we're Lincoln, is selling 952 01:05:43.679 --> 01:05:47.639 Lincoln and Rolliston is like where the money is now, and the South well, 953 01:05:47.840 --> 01:05:54.920 the Kenneby region at least. And I was in the house. I 954 01:05:55.000 --> 01:06:00.199 was in the guy's house selling sounds man unreal. Yeah, I grew up 955 01:06:00.239 --> 01:06:02.960 there very much. Wasn't the case when I was growing up there, but 956 01:06:03.760 --> 01:06:09.360 yeah, people have I think because the earthquakes, everyone, everyone that had 957 01:06:09.360 --> 01:06:13.360 money moved to around euro which is north, and then sell them which is 958 01:06:13.400 --> 01:06:18.000 east.
