Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
A crypt and this is a script. I want to
quick against my enemies. Yeah see, you wanted to say
and then at little raise you, but Apple gets you
from the wielders. What's up everyone? It is Rob Monster,

(00:32):
full time sans am and is not a tragedy, a big,
big tragedy. Is off living his best life currently with
his lovely wife Paula, dancing around Brazil carnival, feeling loose,
feeling happy. Is anyone ever depressed in Brazil? Probably not?
Does that exist over there? Who knows? So today I

(00:53):
thought we would do a little sort of a solo ramble.
I've got some questions from all of you, the listeners,
and I will do my best attackle I haven't looked
at him really and so they're kind of shooting from
the hip. It'll be a bit of fun. I think
something a bit different. We would do to have the one,
the only mister Tomilmanny on the podcast, but scheduling conflicts arose,

(01:19):
so hopefully Tom will be on next week. Fingers crossed.
It's been way, way, way too long. Time passes I
find as I get older, I'm like, oh, there was
five years gone, But like Tom literally hasn't been on
in like probably two or three years, you know, which
is insane, So we need to fix that. And maybe
I'll put out the Bats signal to team as well

(01:41):
over the next while and we will get cooking on
some guests and keep the episodes flowing. Monday will feature Evan.
We have pre recorded an episode and if you miss
em and even more, you can head on over to
our Patreon. We just released the patron episode as well
that I quite enjoyed, actually covered the whole bunch of topics.
There's a bit of mental health for us, a bit

(02:02):
of humor, a bit of silliness. It's got everything in it,
so if you want to check it out, head on over.
I would like to remind everyone as well, yeah, that
we appreciate the listeners very much, and if you have
any spooky stories or crypto encounters, send them on to
answer for Us podcast at gmail dot com. We have
had quite a few writings actually after my protesting last

(02:24):
week worked, and so I'd like to give a quick
shout out to Carlos Ortega and chadwick Els who send
in actually quite a few stories and those will be
covered when Ema gets home, so I'll save them for
Aim as well, because I think it's a bit better
rather than just me reading kind of monologue type of stuff,

(02:45):
to have a bit of a back and forth. So yeah,
we'll do that. But I hope you're having a good
day wherever you may be, and you're having to go
crack and you're in good form. I'll try and make
his better form here. Now, let's see what we got
question wise from your mad lot, right, So let's see

(03:06):
what we got here. I'm going on to Instagram and
finding questions. Let's see what we got here. Right, I've
got it, I've got it up. I've got it up.
First question in the traffic says, do ghosts goon? Of course,
gooning is you know, staring at sexually attractive objects and

(03:29):
being aroused. Is that what that gooning is like? Or
is goon gooning just like pure masturbation ad nauseam? Do gstven?
Probably if I was a ghost, that would be one
of the first things I would do, surely, do you
know what I mean? A bit of voider. You're a ghost,

(03:49):
you can see whatever you want. Right. That does actually
make the question though, like, do like really attractive people
who are alive? Right now? Have a bunch of gooning
ghosts standing around them like some kind of pornal where
they're all gooning over the attractive people. That's a question
for you. It's gotta have. So we've got the tea

(04:16):
bag in the tea lads, we main business now today.
I left it in for a little strong kick. But
then do us yeah? Probably, and do they? I don't
know what ghosts do. It's very possible that if ghosts
are actually a thing that we just or that they
just are sort of memories or imprints and there's no

(04:37):
actual consciousness attached to them or awareness attached to them, right,
that would be one interpretation. There's some kind of like
memory leftover. So if they're that then probably not. If
they're ghosts in the traditional sense where they have memories
and they can sort of act with vengeance and things
like that, then I would say absolutely. Lads are going

(05:00):
in like mad wmd Laotian aka NOI asks, what's this
about the werewolves of Ossery? They never heard of them?
So Osary, I'm assuming. Let me go and check this
out here. Now wherewolves and astery is Barrison Astery, which

(05:21):
is in Ireland. So let's see what we got here
wearables in Assary. Yeah, medieval Ireland. Yeah, did we do
an old story episode about I don't think we did,
you know? So the werewolves an astery from Wikipedia here
The legendary wear Wolves of Ostery, a kingdom of early
medieval and are the subject of a number of accounts

(05:42):
in Medieval Irish, English and Norse works. The wear Wolves
were said to have been the descendants of a legendary
figure named Lagnak Failed whose lane of rise to the
kings of Astery Osterre is actually cool spot. The legends
may have derived from the activities of war arriers in
Engine Ireland, who were the subject of frequent literary compositions

(06:03):
comparisons to wolves, and also may have had adopted loopine hairstyles.
So the boys were like farties because they're center the
war wolf skins as well, and went wolfing and carried
out raids. That's actually very cool. So that was kind
of what I'm taking from that is like lads back then,

(06:24):
maybe that there was a clan or a tribe who
literally skinned wolves more their pelts, maybe even the top
of their heads or something over their head. You never
see them, lads. It's like a traditional kind of wilding
look where they'll have like half the animal head up
over their head on a cap kind of, and that
is very interesting. Actually, this whole this whole thing is

(06:46):
actually very interesting. So maybe we'll do an episode on this.
But to think of like mad tribes, I suppose back then,
like Ireland, to the best of my knowledge, around these times.
You know, you're talking like twelve hundreds when this was,
and as late as sixteen fifty, right, so anytime between them,

(07:08):
Ireland was basically a rainforest jungle of like there was
a miserable, wet, damp rainforest, but it was still a rainforest.
So you can imagine probably back then that there was
like carved out pathways through these trees, right, just from
years of people walking on foot, or indeed that they

(07:30):
had felled trees, and you'd have to imagine that like
along these pathways, you know, you'd either run into a village,
you'd run into a settlement, but like imagine coming off
the wrong path and walking in on these guys all
sitting around with like wolf pelts, maybe their hair on
out like wolves. But it's interesting. I'm just I'm glancing

(07:50):
at this as I'm talking. It says that wolves don't
now extinct, and Ireland were once numerous. The Irish wolf
founders bred to hunt them for this purpose. Interesting thing
about Irish wolfhounds, the ones you can buy now, they're
actually not wolfhounds. They're not approximation of what the breed was.
As far as I know, they're genetically extinct the actual

(08:11):
Irish wolf found But yeah, so I think the Celts,
you know, they were intomb because the wolves were frenzied,
ferocious and apparently savage. And also they're talking about sexual
potency here, so sh the Irish back in the day
they were into that, like like a wolf, like the

(08:31):
dram Uran song, you know. So yeah, I mean they're
saying wolf warriors are looked on, which is literally wolf skins,
and yeah, they would go wolfing and carry out reids.
That's very interesting. But we do know, like it's a
historical fact that the Celts a lot of time didn't
wear much of anything. They were going around with their mackeys,

(08:53):
hanging out thinking of barry irises and just fucking wilding
out on whoever the fuck came near them, riding riding
resist there's sucking the rub, the whole sorts of match
it and so yeah, I wouldn't put it past me
that they were wearing polfskins and being all mental would
have been like completely bizarre back then. Like, yeah, that

(09:15):
you had that Christian remember that Christian missionary dude that
went to like Sentinel Island, which is that island off
the coast of India. I think it is where basically
they're not inhabited by or sorry, they haven't been touched
by civilization. And this dude like tried to go out
and teach christ to them and he just got pelted
with arrows before he even got onto the beach. But

(09:37):
like you'd imagine that tribes kind of behaved like that
back then in Ireland too, So like you you rock
up into this tribe and you're not going to have
time to talk or to think or to do anything,
Like these lays are coming at you the Hackey debates
probably unless maybe you have something to trade, but then
they're probably just thinking, let me hackey debates and take
what you've got. So yeah, i'd say Ireland back then

(10:02):
was a very brutal place and like all of the
sort of it's not racist, but let's use racist for
lack of a better term, but like all the racist
caricatures of the Irish from Britain at the time, where
that we were more primitive, more monkey like, more you know,
the usual fucking racist shite. And I wonder was the

(10:24):
degree of truth to it in that when they first arrived,
like when the Brits first arrived, there was that very
sort of prime ordeal fucking spooky dudes that were going
around to like half animal just basil, do you know
what I mean? They weren't. They didn't really have any
of the instincts of more civilized British at the time,

(10:45):
you know, because if you think about it, like I suppose,
like you go to like early medieval times, you know,
there's a degree civility there. And then if you were
to go to like say Ireland at that time, that
probably hadn't caught at all. So yeah, it probably was
like a culture shock, if you can call it that.

(11:06):
But sound for the show on that Werewolves of aust Reeder, No,
I actually don't know if we've ever mentioned it. Sometimes
with these things that are literally you know, it's a
five year podcast. Now, the werewolves and Lastery might have
been mentioned in like a were Wolf episode or something
like that. So, yeah, Adventures with Becky asks who's been

(11:33):
your favorite guest on the podcast? There's there's different Like, honestly,
I'm going to kind of be like a half Urst
sort of I'm going to give like a non committed answer.
I think, like my goat goes straight towards Brother Richard,
just because it's Brother Richard, I think. And what makes

(11:54):
Brother Richard so interesting is that he's quite open. And
I think a lot of the time when you talk
to men of faith, at least in my past in Ireland,
there they weren't open, really they were. They were quite
closed off people, and a lot of time, to be honest,
we're talking down to you rather than talking with you.

(12:15):
And I always found a Brother Richard like we've met
him personally and through the podcast sort of quote unquote
professionally I want to call the podcast, and he has
been the same in both circumstances. Very down to the
art person, very interesting person, well spoken, well read, and
so that makes for a good guest a guest. But

(12:40):
then subsequently, because Monster Fuss is very much a sort
of expose as to it, I was trying to keep
a serious podcast, but we can't. Brother Richard would represent
more informative stuff, I think, and if you were to
talk about the more silly I think Gordo, you know,

(13:01):
was one of the best guests as well, simply because
he's one of our friends, you know, t break m
and with Gordo, I remember, like I think, you know,
we recorded that episode very early on MCORDA. I think
it was like episode three or four or something. He
jumped on with us, and I remember taking at the

(13:23):
time just I was just listening to him and him
and sort of chatting, and of course they had done
those conspiracy guys together. And I had never to be honest,
to be totally truthful, never really listened to many podcasts.
Listened to a bit of Rogan, but I used to
put him on because he was on YouTube and so
I'd stick him on the monitor while I was working
away at my PC and so hearing the lads banter

(13:46):
with each other, I was kind of thinking, I was
listening to Corda was going I need to step my
game up a little bit, like with the the riffing
and the banter. Saw. Gordo is just very good at
what he does. And yeah, I think when when he
when he first came on. For me, it was like
a bit of a I wouldn't say an awakening or anything,

(14:08):
but it was it was a kind of a Okay,
this is how it goes, this is this is the crack,
like so cool. And Gorda as a person is very
thorough and very like thought out and planned. He's kind
of I can be taught out and planned, but I'm
very much more spontaneous and just like just fucking whatever
about things. And Gorda likes to have his teas crossed

(14:32):
in his eyes dad, as I say, and it shows
the shows, you know, I mean, the stuff that he
does is so called and so formative, and so I think, Yeah,
I think Brother Richard and Gorda for like two entirely
different reasons. Like even put those two people together as individuals,
they're like two polar opposites. And as a matter of fact,

(14:54):
they were both in the same room for our live show.
ITH's is the funny part because Brother Richard actually came
to our live show, which was very them to endure
us for that. But yeah, it's cool. And of course,
like every guest we've had, I don't think we've ever
really had a bad guest. We've had guests that maybe
you know, over the years, I'm like they were a

(15:15):
bit of a geebag or whatever, But like nine times
out of time that is not the case. Like it's
been very good, And I think that's simply because it's
the same as anything. You know, when you're a podcaster,
you're talking to other podcasters. We're all wanting the same things.
We have the same goals and ideas at our core.
We probably like putting ourselves out there a bit. So

(15:38):
I find a lot of time with podcasters, you find
yourself on the same way of link a lot. One
of the people that I've actually clicked with probably the
most was Tim from Strength Familiars. The off air talks
that Tim and I have had have always been very
sort of just like I think we kind of get
each other in terms of wants and needs and professionalism

(16:01):
and what way we approach. We don't approach this podcast professionally,
but you know, there's still a machine behind it. Machine
like an old forward that would have been like, you know,
a model T or something. But I hope that answers
like I really like that m last year as well,
from Real Life Courtor. She was great. It was great
to have an Irish person on as well. Like, you know,

(16:24):
we've had a couple obviously, but an Irish spooky podcast
person is always very good. But we've had like listening
to everyone over the years has been pretty much great
in regards to coming on and being a guest. Like,
it's just like in last year a year and a
half since we did video, we kind of like retreated
a little bit and sort of just focused on doing ourselves,

(16:47):
you know, to set up here is more suited towards
video for us too, I'm not as easy to have guests,
and because we don't have a producer, it's a little
bit more tricky. But it's not hard, but it's just
a little bit more tricky. So you know, you get
lazy brown and you're kind of default to what you're
comfortable with. And obviously my monsterful it's main aim and

(17:09):
sitting chat and shit, so quite easy. So cam Sticks
asks how many times does Emon come on to me sexually?
Of course, let me take a copy sip there, while
Amin is extremely zesty. Zero times, No he's not. He wouldn't,

(17:35):
he wouldn't do that. No, so zero would be the
answer to that, he says, how do I feel about
sports movies? Which is interesting sports moviees as long as
they are grid Iron Gang, I don't. I haven't seen either,
or then not Urst, I'll be honest, not Urst. I'm
trying to think as there any cool Robins is probably
the best sports film, if you want to call that

(17:56):
a sports film. There was that one. There was a
cage fighting one that came out maybe eleven or twelve
years ago that was like passable. I can't remember who
was in that, but it was kind of had a
bit of a buzz about it was The Fighter? Was
that another one? Christian Bale? No, I don't know. Let

(18:19):
me let me sourch the Fighter, the Fighter and say,
what the crack is there? The Fighter twenty ten checks out?
Christian Bale checks out. That was a good film. So
that sports film you want to call that one? Christian
Bale looks like he's fucking got the have or something
and afflick. That was probably peak Christian Bale right there,

(18:42):
right whatever retouched was basically on Fire twenty ten. I
was like twenty two They yeah, something like that. Yeah,
that was alright. I think from what I remember, I
think it's any other that are good like I'm not

(19:03):
again as a I've got I've been on a real
weird movie trajectory. Like when I was a kid, a teenager,
I was fucking obsessed. Like I would buy in one
of my first jobs, like I worked in a place
that also sold DVDs and things like that, and like
I'd almost buy a DVD a night just to bring home.

(19:24):
And like I had a stack of DVDs, like you know,
a couple of feet two feet high maybe and three
or four feet high, just DVDs and DVDs. And I
used to really love just sit down and watching a movie.
But this was before phones, This was before smartphones, This
was before like shit, this was back when, like I

(19:48):
think three text messages was a revolution. I think at
that time it was like spend thirty euro of for
the month or twenty or I think it was, and
you got like either five hundred three messages or unlimited
free messages to other people on the same network. So
like I had no distractions back then. So yeah, I
used to be able to actually sit down and watch

(20:09):
a movie. And the sports was never the one. No.
I was always into like gangster shit. Loved gangster movies.
When I was a kid Danny Brasco, Godfather's Scarface, watched
a bit of Cercrocle all the opportunity as well, like
a fucking child, all his stuff. And now he's gone

(20:32):
around writing fucking thirty year olds putting his yap into him.
And I thought he was for pasture back then, and
he's still has. Yeah, I used to. I used to
really enjoy it. So sports times, I don't know. I
just don't watch movies really anymore. It'd have to be
something that I really really enjoyed, to be honest. Like
I was having a conversation, I was actually a cousin

(20:55):
of mine met a really good observation. He made such
a good observation, I'm actually going to read it out
here because it was bang on. And where is it there? Now?
He goes, it's mad, what's happened in the games. He's
not about games and cinemas, he said he passed the cinema.
And the new releases were Fantastic Four, Jurassic Park, Superman
and I Know what you did last summer, and now

(21:17):
Snake Eaters back out on consoles as well, Malgar's Alid remake,
and yeah, I think we're in a sort of a
creatively bankrupt era. Like I mean, when you think about it,
when you actually sit down and think about that, that
like our blockbuster summer is all films that have been
done before. It's very hard to get excited about it.

(21:39):
And I get a bit, I do, to be honest,
get a bit cynical about it, and I'm like, I'm
not fucking interested, Like and I kind of wanted to
see Fantastic Four, but I'm also not bothered. Maybe it's
just me. Some of our older listeners might be able
to let me know, but like, is this this repetition?

(22:02):
Is this something that becomes more evident as you get older,
or is this a new thing? I said, it's a
little bit of both, because I think for the first time,
we're getting to like a lot of nostalgic eyps getting rehashed.
I think Star Wars was one of the big ones,
you know, episode one that probably has a lot to blame.

(22:22):
There's a lot you know, JR JR. Binks is responsible
for all of this. I think once the viability was
established of like, well, to be fair, there were new films, right,
but the Star Wars trilogy that came out after that,
I don't even know what they're called the Disney trilogy?
Should we call them like that? First New Disney flick

(22:45):
was just the first Star Wars film basically just like
a female Men character. A few little changes to the plot,
but like almost identical. And then when you say where
a trilogy goes story wise, narrative wise, at the end,
I was like, are you fucking joking me? Like? Are
you joking me? And I'm a huge Star Wars and

(23:07):
I think I've had I've had a lot of times
like over in recent years now with franchises and films
and stuff, And I'm like, you want me to sit
down for two or three hours here and give you
my undivided attention, and you're just going to be giving
me the same crap again, do you know what I mean?
So I don't know. Maybe I'm just fucking miserable and

(23:29):
I'm not enjoying things like that. But I don't know.
I find like lately I'm getting enjoyment out of other pursuits.
You know. What is giving me doubamine is not those
things anymore. So that's a very long winded way to
answer the question. And said that I don't like sports films.
I can't be harsh with them. Sports is a sown film.

(23:51):
It doesn't need a film. You know. If you watch
like Champions League, or if you're watching like f a
Cup and an under the Winds and there's like a
drama to it, that's that's your film, Like that's what
that's all you need, Like do you know what I mean?
Like I watched Newcastle in Liverpool last night. I wouldn't
watch them two ship bags otherwise only for I saw

(24:13):
that was capital on the fl and that was a
story that was a film right there. Gordon just as
a bit stupid fucking tackle that nowhere it gets sent off.
Newcastle managed to kind of rally back. There were two
two down I think, and then they rallied back to
two two ultimately the lost Tree two. But it was

(24:36):
a fucking great game. Like it doesn't need a movie,
do you know what I mean? It is a movie
just sitting down and watching at the entertainment that's provided
from a like okay, yeah, if you want to make
a documentary about it, maybe a great tell us why
Gordon was acting the gob Shire or tell us why
you know set it all up, But like ultimately, nah,
I'm getting bored with Alli. But I do think it's

(24:57):
cac I like films. That's the word expectations. And I
thought one of the best for me was like recom
for a Dream. I went into actually totally blind, and
I thought like, oh, this is gonna be like a
kind of good time drug film, you know t Breck,
where like you know, they all tech heroin and everything

(25:17):
ends up happy ever after they go to na you
know what I mean and realized the wrongs and but
like I was left with me John on the floor
going geesus Christ, like this is grim. That's kind of
what I want from a film, Like I want either
like I want the surprise no matter what they will come.
I'm trying to think if I if I've actually watched

(25:39):
anything recently or I actually enjoyed it, Like a lot
of them are just time passers now, like Gladiator too,
like like there's nothing remarkable about that film. It was
just very much like there you go, here you are
you know, you want to say, three hours in the cinema,
the past, the time looks sure, you like a bit
of Gladiators and tree you like the first film there
you go, this is look it has all the cool stuff.

(26:02):
But like there was nothing meaningful to it. It was
just kind of all right, great, thanks lads, Like I
won't be I won't be referencing in two or three
years time. But then again, maybe kids will. You know,
maybe this is it, that's what I'm saying. Maybe maybe
I'm just old. Cam Sex goes something to said that.

(26:24):
He said that there's a new sports film coming out
called Him and it's about CTE, which is trauma to
the brain from combat sports or any sports radio that
involves head head banging, head banging. Actually funny enough can
give you CTE too. There's a I think studies on that.

(26:45):
CTE is kind of emerging already as like a real
big problem. You know, you might have seen that whole
Raja Jackson, Psycho Steve or whatever, and then the dude
is like Ghostoe or whatever altercation over the weekend. So
for those of you that didn't see that or maybe

(27:07):
hard about it or whatever. Basically professional mmm fighter Rampage
Jackson has a son, Raja Jackson, who is now like
twenty four to twenty five profighter himself, you know, him
and Rampage live stream their life. They do that like
life stream shit Final Fantasy style where there's always a

(27:28):
fucking camera on him. It's just so fucking I don't know.
But anyway, they saw Raja was at some wrestling show
and he was meeting everyone for the first time, and
this cycle stew or whatever his name is, comes along
and he's in kfab at the time, which is the

(27:48):
wrestling term for like he's playing a character, like he's
in role. And to be fair, wrestlers are method actors basically,
like they generally keep their role going right until they
get into the dressing room after the show and no
one else season, you know, And so this, uh, this

(28:10):
Raja and it meets the psychle Steve fucking doing or whatever,
and your man cracks a can over a fake prop
can over Raja Jackson's head as a kind of a
little haze kind of thing, like a little mess, and
Raja obviously didn't like us. Both they apologize to each other.
It was all grand. This is all on camera, by

(28:31):
the way, because these people are documenting their whole entire
fucking lives, so it was all on camera that they
were like, oh, yeah, look man, sorry, I didn't know.
You know, I thought you were a wrestler because like
Raja looks like a fucking wrestler like this big, built up,
fucking mostly dude like and he was he wears a
big chain and ship like his dadd like when he
was fighting, and it was like, oh, I didn't know.
I thought you were heard the wrestle and thought it
was part of the act and whatever whatever, But suret, look,

(28:53):
if you want to come in on the show and
we can work it into the show, people might find fun,
like you know what I mean, Like, you can come
into the ring and sure we can do a bit
of a slam and a bit of a whatever. Grant
all that is done and agree to and happy days.
And then fucking the rajah fella in the middle of

(29:14):
the fucking fight jumps into the fucking ring, slams him
in a in a way that was like, yeah, probably
that was part of the shaw. Great slams him down
yet brilliant, looks good, Happy days, Vince McMahon to be proud.
Yet he fucking mounts like it looks like he's already
knocked out from the slam. So that was the other thing.

(29:34):
And he just starts fucking pummeling the head off the
count when he's unconsciously and now I mean pummeling the
cont like proper mashing his head into the fucking canvas,
like like some of the most brutal boxes, and like
that you would say like because this isn't like this
isn't even like you know, you see a street fight

(29:55):
on YouTube or something and a lot of time like
there's variables going on or whatever, but this is like
literally a professional fighter wailing on an unconscious person who
can't defend himself, just like boxing the head off in
like a fucking speedbag. And so eventually after like something
like I think it's something like tardy unanswered blows, someone

(30:15):
pulls them off, but like he was choking on his
teeth and blood and like one of the wrestlers was
called to saying like, oh Jesus, I actually realized that
there was kids at the show. Like it's like we
have to say Psycho fucking Steve or whatever, and so
Psycho Steve is in fucking hospital sucked up totally now,

(30:36):
like and the Raja hell, I think they're looking to
arrest them now, so probably by the time that this
comes out, But it was like attempted murder, like do
you know what I mean? Now, what does this have
to do with cteam making someone insaying this is not
to defend Raja's actions at all, but I had seen
a video only two or three days before, because I'm
on all the MM subreddits and UFC sub breads and stuff.

(30:59):
Raja sparn with fella and they were just playing, like
not play a sparn light sparn and the guy would
have fucking know where does a fucking spinning back kick
kicks him in the fucking head? And it was a
big thing because, like rampage at the time, his dad
was like, uh, if he had knocked him out, we
were going to have a problem, like luckily like but

(31:19):
like the Rajah fellow was visibly fucking shock after the kick,
like do you know what I mean? He staggered back
and forth and he took a knee and he wasn't right. Like,
So I do wonder does the CTE that kicked in
the head to concussion have anything to do with it?
Not to defend it. It's horrible and stupid bo did

(31:40):
that cloud his judgment? He's a moron anyway, But did
that clown his clown and his judgment? Did clown his judgment?
But yeah, I do wonder because he mashed him badly,
and you're just going like, what fucking planet do you want?
The gobshite like Andrew a sympathy, like you're on fucking stream,

(32:05):
like what planet are you want? Like what are you doing?
Like Jesus? What universe? Did you think that that was
a good idea? Like Jesus, even if it was a
thing of like you wanted to in some perceived way
or slighted or something. Okay, we'll get him back in
another way, like go in a fucking wedgym or pull
his underpants down, or somebody standing in the middle of

(32:27):
the ring. Well fucking can cast the fucking dude like
or worse, sorry, can cause his putting them mildly, He's fucked,
like por psychle Steves fucked like, so do you know
what I mean? Fucking raga. My sister Rachel asks what
am I terrified of mortality? Sometimes? Um, what am I terrified? Off?

(32:54):
I'm not really that terrified mortality ish not really like
not jumps out to me. To be honest, I'm not
trying to say I'm like a hard man. I just
don't have any real obvious like oh I had spiders
or rats or snakes. I don't mind any of them.
I was always with animals for whatever reason, My initial

(33:16):
thing with animals has always been to like trying to
approach them, which would probably get me killed in any
country other than Ireland or maybe Britain. But like, whenever
I see an animal, whether it be a cat or
a dog or whatever, whatever, I'll try and approach them
and make friends with them. Now, if it's fucking dick
help breed a dog or something, I won't batter Mars.

(33:37):
But like terrified for me, I mean, there's not much
that keeps me up at night or anything care off
in jokes that like I just decide to sleep and
then I just sleep, which kind of is the case.
I just got time for bed, close me house to sleep.
So I don't know, I think you can scare yourself,

(34:00):
like if you go out at night in the dark,
and you know, you think about spooky shit, you know,
I'm afraid of, like I would imagine everyone is afraid of,
Like I don't know, maybe something terrible happening to you
or your family, or you know, something where you're like
fucking left paraplegic or you know, any of that kind

(34:23):
of shit. But like, yeah, there's nothing mortgage payments. Maybe
that's scary life stuff. Scary seven Valentine asks after seeing
my video on Instagrams, that's where I put out the
call out, who are you? You look like Rob? But
where's the tash? So the mustache, I like, I'll be honest,
I like the mustache. But the problem with mustaches is

(34:47):
there's a connotation of being homosexual, just connotation of being
a pedophile, just connotation of being ned Flanders, which is
the best of those three. And I like a mustaches
are funny. I actually like looking silly with the most.
I think they just look silly. So I enjoy kind
of giving people a laugh, to be honest with. But

(35:11):
the breck, but yeah, it's that, you know what it is?
What really bugs me about fucking having something like that
is like it's the first thing people make a remark about.
So you're like, you know, people, I've got you must Oh,
what's the story with the mustache? Mustache moment? You know?

(35:32):
And you're like, okay, I had forgotten about it, And
you're like, okay, yeah, cool, you maybe that's it. It's
like you're getting commented on your image all the time
when you have a mustache. And that can be just
a bit annoying because you're like, oh, yeah, you know,
I think it reminds me of when I was a
kid and I had long hair, like, and people would say, oh,
like in the school that I was in was full

(35:53):
of mock savages, and you'd have like teachers always mental
on your parents because I had long hair, like, so
I stood out like literally not job in my school.
I think there was two of us with long hair,
six hundred kids. When I said long hair, I mean
like shoulder length long hair rather than like just say

(36:16):
down a bit pasture airs or something that proper long hair.
So I used to always get fucking bullied by the
teachers about that, about Kottna, about this, or about that,
and it just really fucking dragged. It's gonna be like
really bad anxiety. Actually, you know, you'd like because you

(36:38):
used to have to think, like, right, I have long hair,
which is not inherently bad or good. It's just a
neutral thing, Right, I have long hair. But I used
to feel every day I going to the school that
I would have to dodge people like that, I would
have to dodge principles, I'd have to dodge teachers because
they'd try and collar me over having long hair and

(37:02):
so so yeah, I when I when I think back
to what I'm like, the more I think back to
school as an adult, the more I'm filled with like annoyance.
It is what it is, and these things happen. And
I think everyone has their own things about, you know,
maybe school or the youth. Like there's absolutely people who

(37:25):
would say that I fucked up the youth, no doubt,
because when I was in school, I was fucking with
people all the time, to be honest with you, like,
because I was frustrated, angry, parson boy. And yeah, I
think that having teachers choler all the time over things

(37:46):
like that. You know, they're supposed to be kind of
well for Wander's supposed to be there for you to
learn from and that's kind of it. But also in
an ideal world, they're kind of your mentor uh, and
they're supposed to help you. But I never really felt that.
So I think with May, I wanted to rebel more,
do you know what I mean? Because you feel like

(38:07):
you don't belong and then you're like, right, well, I'm
going to dig in here, and that's what I did.
I do again I'm stubborn, so but I kind of
now when I go right, while I was fourteen, saw
the bigger people sort of realized what was going on
there with a fourteen year old rather than coming down
to my level, do you know what I mean? But yeah,

(38:32):
at different times, you know. I think nowadays, hopefully schools
are a bit better and there's a little bit more
of an allowance for expressing yourself, especially as a teenager,
which is a very crucial edge to be able to
find your feet. I think actually being too oppressed at
that age is really really detrimental. I think you should

(38:54):
be allowed to explore your creative side. You should be
allowed to explore, whether it be creativity in arts or
whatever way you want to apply it, or even in
your image, like provided you're not going in like fucking
Marilyn Manson or something taking your ribs out when to
suck you're own making class like do you know what
I mean? Like there, there's there, I get it. But

(39:15):
like all of our scows in Ireland at the time
were like fucking hogwarts. You have to fucking wear your
uniform and it had to be you have to have
your tie and like you couldn't even like you wouldn't
even get away with having your like shirt unbuttoned down
fire enough for you know, which I always did, just
to try and provoke, but you know it was stupid,

(39:35):
like when you look back and you think about it
and you just got foxactly. Gee's like the Gestapo. It's
like being in fucking outfits, do you know what I mean?
Like Stuba. So Rob with detached to get back to
your quesson, that's what's going on with Rob with the sash.
He's a twelve year old. Rob is decided that there's

(39:58):
no mormal slash. But I can't grow facial hair. If
I could grow fucking bird, I grow a beard, you know,
but I can't. So it is what it is. Moving on,
Let's see what else we got here. That there's a
couple more, I think, whereas that there was one here

(40:22):
that I was going to answer close to the last one,
I'm actually just for forty minutes. I'm impressed. So Benjaconas
asks Draconess Drahonas. Are there any personal projects on the
boil at the moment? No, creatively, No, there's a lot

(40:50):
of other sort of ventures, monetary ventures that I'm trying
to just make a feel, Bob, because I'm just trying
to live that hustler lifestyle out here, you know, in
these streets. But creatively, no, not really, Like I want
to get that other sort of project off the ground
with Aimen. I think that we would benefit from having

(41:12):
a different product rather than doing the two under the
Monsterfull's umbrella. I don't know if he's known about like
it's not really seol but like market viability, like reach
within a genre, all those things. But I think Monsterfuls

(41:33):
not Monsterfuls. I think Robin Aimon would be better suited
to a different genre. Funnily enough, we've kind of probably
felt like that since the start, actually, since we you know,
since I think our strength is that we like fucking
around with each other and riffing with each other. You know,

(41:54):
I don't think our subject matter is our strength. I
think our subject matter helps to lend way to the
silliness of the product. But I think that we could
do that with other ideas. So I think splitting the
pod makes the most sense. Like it doesn't. There's no
real negative to that. Everyone that listens to us still

(42:16):
gets two episodes per week. But it's just that we
can operate under a bit of a broader umbrella and
hopefully target new people, because, to be honest with it, globally,
we're in the top one percent of the podcast I've
said it before, but there's only so far a podcasts
about cryptids can really go, which is funny because like

(42:38):
last podcast on Left or out there like fucking millionaires,
you know what I mean. But I think last podcast
on the Left were a very good recipe of a
couple of factors that a lot of the more recent
podcasters now I class ourselves. And that because podcasts and
I suppose has been going on for fifteen odd years.

(42:58):
By the time eminem I self guying, all of the
established podcasts were established, and a lot of them are
still going now. So like you're trying to battle against
other podcasts for airtime. And I don't mean airtime as
in on the radio, I mean actually taking people's errors
from them and saying, listen to us for two hours

(43:20):
a week. And podcasts and is a podcast are very
much a thing where people have, like their couple, and
they've got their schedule listens and what they listened to
in a week. So yeah, so I think that the
splitting of it makes sense. I think a more general,
broader podcast would suit as well as Monster Fulls, because

(43:40):
there's to be honest, like people always ask. As one
of the first things people ask is like, have you
not run out of material to talk about monsters? And
the answer is no, like no, not really, Like I mean,
there you go. We have wearables and masteries. Another one
like if you just try and think about that, if
you have thought about that, say for Monster Fulls, just

(44:01):
think about like your town or your city or wherever
you live, and then think about the folklore that's involved
with that place. There's probably a story about something there, right,
or a folk lark tale or a ghost story. So
really and truly, I'm never worried. We're never really worried

(44:22):
about that. What we have said in the past was like, yeah,
once we get to a certain point, maybe it would
be better to just pivot. So yeah, I think we
will do that. Like it's just about coming up with
something and having it right, you know. Ideally, I think
it'll be a lot more focused on just being silly
and having the crack and something more broad that more
people can enjoy. Ideally, We've got big, big news coming

(44:46):
up next week that I'm really proud of as a creator,
and I think aiming is too, and that is actually
let me see, I'm just actually be able to give
you the date the big big news. I think it's
happening anyway. You never known this industry. Oh it'd be
actually like next Monday, we'll be able to announce it.

(45:08):
So yeah, one day, shoos there. I don't know. I
actually don't know whether it's going to go ahead. I
think it is, but every so often with the Podge
you get rewarded, but like something cool that comes from it,
and so this is another one. This is another kind

(45:28):
of really cool thing. And myself and Amin have always
sort of marched to the beat of our own drums.
You know, we don't do the like Irish media circuit,
if any of our Irish listeners know, And maybe it's
the same in the UK or anywhere like that, but
Ireland is a very sort of incestuous country when it

(45:50):
comes to media. I think that likes The Blind Boys
talked about it before as well. But like there's basically
like a circuit and it's almost like an click and
those people that are in the in click will always
just do their other podcasts and they guessed on each
other's shawls and it's a very just like little small

(46:12):
pond where everyone kind of mixes. And they'll do well
doing that because they will have pretty much most of
the Irish airspace. But myself and m and just never
really tried to get into us, never bothered court in us,
not that it's got their bad whatever. We just did
our own thing, do you know what I mean? We
just literally did our own thing. We found a podcast
that we wanted to work with, we'd ask them to

(46:33):
work with us. That that was it, you know. We
never really tried to do that. There's a couple of
podcasts I've seen over the years where I was like,
the boys, what the boys are doing in Ireland is
really good? All of them was where's your head? I
don't know if the boys still make podcasts. I don't
see them on my feet anymore. But I'm not on
Instagram all that much. But there are a bunch of
Irish guys and they're just really funny because they're coming

(46:56):
from a perspective of it's like they're like black Irish.
I have a couple of days and they're just really funny,
and I like what I do. I don't know whether
they still do, but I always did, and I thought
they were very authentic and they were doing their own thing,
and I can appreciate that, so I always thought that
was cool. But yeah, we've been just doing our own crack.

(47:20):
I like it's why probably we haven't done much guest
stuff because to get back to the creative projects, Like
I do want to do something on my own also
just like a solo whatever, and I'd like to do
a guest best podcast where you talk to guests. But
the problem is this is this is the main issue here,
is like I don't have a public Like we don't

(47:42):
have a publisher, Like we don't have a producer, so
we don't have someone who can like get on LinkedIn
or Instagram and like message people that we would want
to guest on the pod and like liaise with them
and sort out all the stuff. Like we don't have that,
so like it's left to me and emen who have

(48:02):
lives and Monster Fuss is not our primary source of income,
so like it's not our main thing. So it's very
much just like we kind of give it the time
that we can give it. So that's the problem. Like
I'd love to do I have an idea for a
couple of podcasts, but again, they all just require having

(48:25):
probably a bit more help. And if you look at
all of these podcasts out there nowadays, they have a
lot of help. You know. You look at the likes
of like Tiger Belly. I don't know like what the
crack is with that now, but that has like probably
three or four people in the background. You know, Markan
Rogan is probably much the same. I know he has
a booking agent, Young Jamie, a couple of other people,

(48:46):
probably all of them. I think if you do it
on your own, it's doable. But Jesus is tough, very
very tough. People don't really realize that, Like do you know,
even likes A would also trying to do a four
or five hour episode tough, really really really tough. It's
like a mountain, especially if you're not in good form

(49:07):
like I've had over the past year and a half,
like fairly up and down mental health, I would say,
And trying to juggle that with trying to be productive
and trying to deal with everything else going on is
quite hard. And sometimes even the project itself can weigh

(49:30):
on you and cause like depression when you're trying to
get something offs around, or you're trying to do something
that's not working. So like it's times like that where
you have to just take a step back and say, like,
you know what, actually, fuck that like? And that's kind
of the energy I've been on for the last maybe
a year hasn't been a great year. Like I'm relatively

(49:53):
gold for all tends and purposes, but the year itself
was kind of up and down for me, and so
so yeah, so it's just kind of project wise, like
I'm always buzzing to do stuff always, but it's just
about figuring out the right thing, you know. I want

(50:14):
to do something that's sustainable and can last long term.
I also want to get to speaking of things that
didn't last long term, I want to get back to
video game waffle and talk to video games. That's that's
something that I'd really like to do. But again, you
know a lot of times in my real life, I'm
not fucking clearing games at the minute, I'm not doing

(50:35):
I'm not getting through them. My attention is diverted. I've
been doing things where truthfully, i'm kind of I think
in the last kind of a couple of months, maybe
six months, seven months, I've kind of been at war
with myself where I don't know what I should be
doing that I enjoy or I don't know if I

(51:00):
miss the things that I once enjoyed and Sho'll go
back to them, or if I should move on to
other things, and just like I don't know if there's
a shift happening. What I mean by that is like, basically,
for the last like six or seven months, I've been
just happy, sort of pottering around doing the garden, doing
a bit of horticultural falls, raising me frogs. I've been

(51:22):
happy on that, Like do you know what I mean,
I've been that's been taken my mental energy. Plants, trees,
the garden, all of that has taken my energy this summer,
and I'm enjoying doing that. But then at the same time,
I really want to do other things, Like I want
to sit down and play video games for fucking hours,

(51:43):
but I can't, And even when I do have the
time to able, I don't do it, but I like
the idea of want to do it, do you know
what I'm saying. So that's kind of where I'm at
with all that shit. Lately. I'm just like I'm in
a weird kind of crossroads I think where I'm like, yeah,
I'm getting my dopamine from st things but not other things.
And I don't know whether it's a shift that's happening.

(52:04):
I don't know whether it's getting a bit older or indeed,
I'm just kind of fell up with doing similar things.
But I think it's fine to whatever you want to do.
But at the same time, when certain things that you
do were like a huge part of your personality and
you know, you find yourself not doing them as much
as kind of weird, you know, because you're like, I

(52:25):
want to get back to that, but I'm not fucking
iris weird. So that's how I'm how I am with
games currently. It's very strange. I have been like that
in the past as well, but yeah, I find it
really weird, And yeah, I think we'll certainly leave it there.
This is Rob from the Future, who just finished recording

(52:48):
and put down his phone and saying that two things
came in in the form of d MS. I think
rather than questions, so I'll answer is really quick. Andrew
Carney says, I don't really like gardening. What bonsai seems cool?
What type would you recommend? And how little time and

(53:08):
effort what I need? Should I just buy a rock
question Mark? Actually rock keeping is like another form and
there is an M and I can't remember what long
story short. Banzai doesn't take much time. As a matter
of fact, if you're really into bonsai, like if you
get properly into banzai, it actually becomes frustrating at how
little you actually do do over the course of the year.

(53:33):
Good trees for you, Andrew, Andrew, if I'm not mistaken,
maybe I'm wrong. I have a feeling that you might
be in Australia, but I might be wrong. A nice
little ficus would do well. And like ficus or an
entry level bansei, very hard to kill, quite hardy. You
know that they tolerate overwatering. They'll tolerate a little bit

(53:56):
of underwatering as well. And they can look really cool.
Actually you can get some of the real like traditional
look and spindly bar kind of s shaped look from
a ficus. Is Sometimes you'll see they've got those big
plump like roots that look like fingers almost down into
the soil. So one of them i'd recommend, Like they're

(54:18):
really easy to keep. I've actually my ficus is the
only one from I think the only three from the
original three bonds eye that I had that has survived.
Bonds I die easy. And in the first couple of
years of the hobby, if you're into it, you'll probably

(54:38):
lose a few trees just to things like disease, inexperience
and we're watering, overwatering, bad weather conditions or whatever whatever.
But ficus in a south facing window or even some
other face and window, to be honest with actually south facing.

(54:58):
If you're on Ireland's side of the sun, it's a hemisphere.
I don't fucking way you're worded. It might be different
than if you're in Australia. It's a different I don't
know anyway, the window against the most sun during the day,
that one. Sticking in that one and enjoy just look
at it, enjoy it. They require very little prouning, and

(55:22):
the pronium that they do require is really easy if
they do ever require it. I find with them, like
you know, if you want to make the leaves smaller
over time, you can, you can just but like it's
so easy, you just pluck all the leaves off a
ficus to do that. But yeah, Fcus are known as
like the kind of the entry LEVESO check one of
them out if you want to get a little bit
more spicy with a plant with a little bit more needs,

(55:45):
but also a nice little tree. These have more of
an X shap. Actually, when I said shed with the ficus,
I wasn't really super accurate, although you can get ships focuses.
The Chinese alum are a good breed again, very hardy,
good starter breed. And if you want to keep one
outside in a shaded area, an area that doesn't get

(56:08):
much sun, really just maybe gets an out lick at
the sun for maybe an hour or two a day.
A maple Japanese maple. There's so many varieties of Japanese maple.
They're all class I love a good maple. I have
quite a few maple bands. I The thing is with
bandsai like it's a very very slow hobby. It's a

(56:29):
hobby that like it's seasonal, so like you know, every
summer is only really when you're spring. Summer is when
you're getting into to gear. So you know, there's a
lot of waiting in man's eye, there's a lot of
like just chilling and going Okay, I'll do this next
year and that'll take me a day and then that's

(56:50):
it until the next year. You know, there's more advanced
stuff that you get into, like obviously if you start
keeping a lot of trees, if you start getting into wiring,
and like I haven't, I'm not even I wouldn't even
class myself as intermediate yet. I'm like a beginner who
has interests in it and who's kept a couple of
bandzy trees alive a couple of years. You know, next

(57:12):
year I'll probably start doing wiring and more intermediate sort
of stuff and all of that. But like I've done
some stuff. I like Bonzai and also like kind of
you'll see them a lot in Japan, I think we
talked about on the last episode, Like I think it
was on a Patreon actually, But like I like, in Japan,

(57:34):
you'll see a lot of the trees that are growing
in the ground are stylized in a really nice style
that is reminiscent of like a stylized Bonzai. So I
like that as well. There's a turn on that I
can't remember what it is, but yeah, check out. You
get yourself a cheap Chinese Alan, a cheap fighters get
two of them if you want one for the outdoor.
Get of mable, just be wary, mable or temperamental. Their

(57:58):
first year, their fucking wind bastards. They they get all
fucking ratty looking and takes them a while to come
into themselves. But any of those are red starters, So
give them a go. And Steve asks Steve Marylow the
man himself, Lord Steve and William Marlow esquire. He says, Hi, Rob,

(58:21):
you were talking about the other day about taking things
for granted. Five weeks ago, I fell off a roof
and badly broke my arm and elbow, having to learn
to do things left handed, I e. Wiping your horse.
Bloody nightmare. It is a bloody nightmare. That But that
is it is very very hard a lot of the
time to be grateful and to be present and to

(58:44):
go Jesus like it could be fucking wild worse like
that's a nice little thing to be able to take
the time to do and realize and like, I think
when things like that happened to you, it helps put
that into perspective. So I tried to keep that energy
now and have a moment of like gratitude every day

(59:07):
and go, you know what, things are not as fucking
bad as I feel at this time. Maybe perhaps at times,
but that's fucking nasty, Steve, Like you're too well to
begin a band ladder now, Steve, you know what I mean.
I shouldn't be up band the ladder. Them ladders lads
in their sixties, and I think you might be in

(59:27):
your fifties or sixty Steve. A more iconic jewel is
like someone at that edge, I'm falling off a fucking
ladder or roof. I never get up on any of
that ship. I'm like, fuck that. I do not want
broken arms wrong. It's even why, That's why I stopped
humber interest. It was one of the reasons. I was like,
I do not want my fucking hand mangled on a

(59:50):
mat by some gobh on a fucking Wednesday night. And
I can't play guitar. I can't fucking I can't play PlayStation.
I can't type. Fuck that. So, yeah, know, life too
short to be and that broke up. But yeah, gratitude,
like I was only thinking about it the other day.
Like before I had a house, I remember sitting at

(01:00:12):
home in my Mad's fucking bedroom, not me Mad's actual bedroom,
but one of our bedrooms in the house. And like
I was buying stuff just even at the stupid fucking whatever,
like like like like I have a bunch of like
games on Displayer and things like that, and like I
had nowhere to display them at home. I didn't have

(01:00:32):
the room. And I was just thinking to myself, like
literally like sitting in the bed and I going, I
can't wait. And this is a fucking thirty five year
old or something else of the time, which just shows
you how bleak the house a market is. But I
was just thinking, like, I can't wait to be able
to have a room to where I can sort of
put my stamp on it, I can put my my

(01:00:53):
expression on that room, put my bits in it, put
what I'm about, and yeah, and now I have that.
And very rarely do I actually pause and think and go, yes,
I'm glad I had that, even though I'm glad I
have it, even though I spent so long fucking winge
in the morning about it. And now I have it.
And then your brain wants to go, let me move

(01:01:14):
on to the next thing there that you want, that
you want, that you want, and so you know, I
look around and I'm like Jesus, you know, I'm actually
doing good, so I need to appreciate that. So yeah,
so it's easy to get caught up, I think in crap.
You know, you get caught up and fucking shit a lot,

(01:01:37):
and you know it's nice to just appreciate what you've
got as well. So there's questions and writings that are
better sit with to me and Amon, so they will
be handled. When Emma gets home. We'll actually have a
nice like we'll buy the looks of will actually we'll
have like too many fuzz as worth of like writings
and that'll be cool. Just check into my shorders. Nothing

(01:02:01):
I missed normally, think I'm all right, and we'll have
we Yeah, we have a lot to cover and lots
to talk about, and yeah we well I would not
way Ham's here like they close it out and say that, Yeah,
very thankful for all of you and as well. But
I will say, though I was speaking about projects and

(01:02:22):
speaking about all this stuff, I would like to add
more value to Patreon, like and I've mentioned that in
the past a lot of it is intensive, time intensive,
so it's difficult. But what I will say is this
is actually not that time intensive. Something like this every
week is very much doable. If people enjoyed this ramble,

(01:02:43):
Like if you've gotten this far and you were like,
oh yeah, I enjoyed that, let me know. And what
I can do is I can put one of these
out a week, probably really to add more value to Patreon,
so these will have three episodes rather than the two.
I always do feel a little bit guilty about it.
I'm like, shit, we should really be giving patrons more

(01:03:03):
because we do value your support very much and it
has actually been really helpful at times over the years,
and I would like to give back a bit more.
So if people are into that, like a little rambles,
you know, something like maybe it could be a questions
thing and or it could be just anything. I actually
don't mind doing something like this. This is really easy
for me to do. Sit down and shoot the shit

(01:03:24):
and we can do that. So yeah, as you can say,
I can talk for ages. You know, no batter, no
batter at all by So yeah, we'll leave it there. Fox,
I have been robbed. We miss him. And this is
Monster Fuzz slash Mini Fuzz over and out.
