had a podcast which I think Ithink the episodes are still the audio episodes

(03:23):
are still up on YouTube. Youcan go have a find of them.
It's called a hard Hard Knob podcast. I think about seventeen or eighteen episodes.
Would you know? They were powerful, but just trying to align our
chakras, trying to align our Isuppose work schedule. But you know what,
I absolutely love every time I getto hang out with this man.

(03:44):
It was a joy. It's alwaysas a joy, and I don't think
it would leave it as long thenext time. Sit back and enjoy everything
that's awesome about Owen called Doo.You're looking farewell in fairness, snail you
buy. Sometimes I look well andsometimes I look like absolute dogshit, depending

(04:04):
on the day, like and dependingon the light. If I was inciding
the inciding horror horror batch from lastnight for the small little house that makes
it sound like a big place,but horror toilet. I was in last
whatever way I was in there,the unflow was having a bath, and
whatever way I looked in the fuckingmirror, I says, Jeezus Christ,
the fucking lighting hit here. It'sfair, unforgiven. I looked about seventy

(04:28):
four and smoking seventy four fags today. I don't even I looked horrific because
I don't fucking talk to me.Tom. That's the next fucking job I
have for you, just as it'schanged out that fucking light, because that
that wouldn't do it. Yeah,Beyonce, with standard of that and go
and discussing. I'm sucking. Ohyeah, you'll be seen here. It's
going out of spots and everything grownbefore I fucking here's my forehead and every

(04:50):
fucking like a wolf looking back onmyself. And it takes your while to
come back from within. It takesa couple of days. You're like,
I thought I was better looking thanthat? How I was? Do you
know what I was going around thismorning, going, jes I was big,
fucking, big, fucking king shitof fucking Mickey Mountain on stage the
other night by to rethink myself therenow because there's low lightning, I said,

(05:11):
the toil, the fucking hyper lightning. Fuck that shit, no,
no, no good. There shouldbe banned. That should be a legal
shit. No fucking good at allto all and Jesus. But anyway,
fucking I tell you whatever Zoom isdoing for you, anyway, you look
fucking mint. Yeah, I thinkthat's the camera on this thing. Because
as I was saying yeah, Iwas doing, I was doing something else
to meself. The other day inDublin they think called cage warriors. Did

(05:32):
you ever go to that? I'vebeen to it, I have been to.
I was at um who's fighting asit? No, yes, I
was at a one time years ago, but I was sorry. I was
thinking about bellatoor event. I can'tremember who was fighting cagear similar similar to
beat. Yeah, I think therethey could they could even be like related
companies. But I was going upto Dublin and I was like, looking,
well, now, nice bit ofmale tanning on me. And then

(05:55):
I was looking at the fuddies theretoday and I was like, jeez,
I look like absolute horseshit altogether.Just look fucking I look like fucking forty
six, and I'm bad forty six. I hope no one told me people
have been pussy footing around here.Look I look, I did. I
looked rough and I started drinking loadsof water. But I suppose it depends

(06:15):
on the mirror as well. Youhave to get a good mirror here is.
Do you know what I remember sayingto Fellip before we were doing pantoon.
He was going on about getting histeeth whitened. His teeth were to
find us ever more right, therewere fucking noble teeth. John Sharpson,
he's a lovely felly works for ourtea, and he says, I just
I think I'll get the teeth.I say, John, your teeth are
fucking lovely. Here's the thing.Are you doing all you're supposed to be?

(06:40):
Don't dorte brushing him a few timesa days. That's that's it,
So there's no more to be done. A spade as a spade, John,
who you can't. Yeah, you'regonna end up with his teeth that
look like a fucking a fucking skirtingboarding side in your mouth. Just just
it's too much. And the thingis they file down the teeth altogether and
then something else on that can't begood in the run. I don't think

(07:00):
he was going down that route.I think he was just getting heavy,
heavy powerwashing and a bit of bleaching. I think he's what he was getting
done. I don't think he wasthat. Don't don't even get me started
about them turkey teeth. Sure,yeah, where are they all going to
be? There be fall A lotof people say, you're nightclubs and about
them seven or eight Yes, timeit seems to be full of them fucking
out things they are. They stillbe in their mouth and the teethill look

(07:20):
great, but the rest of thehead will be. But they don't even
look like teeth though, do youknow what I mean? Anymore? It's
the one stark thing looking at somethingas be schwell, steroid head, like
talking into the camera on fucking Instagram. You're going People are People are because
with social media now you're looking atyourself all the time, or you're seeing

(07:42):
yourself more than you used to.Will say, yes, yes, and
everyone is. Everyone's seen themselves fromlike you know, as I was saying
about the mirrors, they're like youmight find the next mirror and you're like,
Okay, I keep looking at thatmirror because that mirror seems to like
me. But with the camera sometimesyou're like, jeez, Christ of a
fucking massive bolts. But there youknow, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah, something like that,Like so you know, it's when

(08:03):
it's on Instagram, you're I don'tknow. I think there's a lot of
good looking people in the world.I as well, Like in the streets,
You've seen a lot of good lookingpeople like knocking around, and I
think it's because they're so aware themselves. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I'd say there was the potential tobe there's probably good breeding and better
breeding and better nutrition than they wassaying the seventies and eighties and nineties even,

(08:26):
But I'd say people have a betterawareness of what to be doing with
themselves. Do you know if youever saw I was only watching one yesterday
evening. I was just fell interviewingpeople now and they were like the liberties
of whatever. There's a couple ofyoung ones and they were saying and should
the way they were kind of carryingthemselves, you're going the fucking hackier like,
But you know, if if therewere girls nowadays, Like just should
it be fucking camera ready, youknow what I mean? Like these young

(08:48):
ones were bagging nerves, they werethey were no good at all on camera,
but they were adorable in their innocence. But their hair was all over
the fucking map. They're wearing Nana'sjumpers and should only sixteen. But like,
if it was young ones nowadays,Jesus christ on mighty sure to be
a different breed altogether, like theeyelashes done and fucking haired one and you
know that's just that's just the lads. It's sucking true. I do.

(09:15):
You know what I do. You'reright to fucking not to be looking in
mirrors because there's not you know whatyou're eating. I met an Nowland the
other day and he since I've everknown him, he hasn't. Actually he
was enmired my mustache, which believeit, because he's had a mustache like
this since anybody's the farmer. Buthe has these tufts grown up here at
the tops of his cheeks. It'slike he's it's like these this is the

(09:37):
Gaza strip is under his cheek boneand he will not cross that border.
And the last maybe quarter inch where'smy My beard now goes right up under
under my eye, and Jesus Christ, I fucking shave it, but he
won't. So here's these two littletufts. You could only call him tusts.
And yeah, but I don't thinkthat man even shaves in the mirror.

(10:00):
I think he just he's just surepartly keep partly keeps the breeze out
of his eyes. Anyway, there'sit's like an inverted eyebrow. He's got
an eyebrow underneath his eye. Whydid he with a full loop the glasses.

(10:20):
What I'm saying is that man hedidn't go to me. Oh jeezus,
I forgot to shoot. You know, he's and it's definitely not a
style thing. It's not a stylething. Like he's just I think he's
shaven the same way he shaved whenhe was twelve or thirteen, when he
started shaving and didn't bother his arts. Probably looking in the mirror since just
gives it a whip around then lowthe finest it just you know, sorry,

(10:43):
you know, the fella out marriagelike there's no woman to pull him
on it, like, you know, so that man's not looking at no
mirrors, there's no mirror in thehouse. You no, no, no,
no, happy he's out the door. Oh yeah, well happy out.
Yeah he probably hopefully he's happy tospell any of this. Know he
you'd know by him, he fuckingrake him on your bodies. Yeah,

(11:03):
he's fucking rake him on even.Yeah. Some of those some of those
lads, they've been packing away moneysince before Birke team was wearing jocks,
you know, by him, likethe land cruisers absolutely paid off for him.
When he once he'll go and buya brand fucking new one again,
like you know, just yeah,yeah, yeah. Do you know they
were the cutest buckers you could evergo to school with or ever be being

(11:24):
classed with them, David Money sincesecondary school, since middle secondary school.
These boys out working. They're justlike ahead of the game in a lot
of ways. You know, sometimeswith the kind of stuff that we do,
Like sometimes they'll be like Jesus,maybe they should have just got Maybe
I should have just stuck to theregular construction work, because at the very
least you can build something and youknow, that's your career. And now
it's booming as well, Like whetherit's what we're doing, it's kind of

(11:46):
it's up and down at times.Two. Do you know I ran into
a lad the other day that Iwent to school with, and he was
about five or six diggers on thegoal rake attractors, and I suppose he's
to get raak of work driving aright looking fucking yolk now on top of
the range, alady. And youremember I told you I looked in the

(12:07):
mirror and thought I looked seventy sixand smokes seventy six figs. That's actually
what he looked like. That's actuallywhat he looked like. He's sitting there,
burned outfully burnt out. He'd livedthree lifetimes of stress because yolks were
breaking. And the next thing,I fella, would you up to work?
And all these things sound great like? And he just he was,
well, he's just your fucking deadright to be off doing what you're doing.

(12:28):
Jesus, what what too you needto bring on stage? Is fucking
right enough as it's hydraulic hoses,bursting cuns, fucking pulling down, fucking
peers, driving into all ones offfor fuck's sake, that's it. You
see, Yeah, you don't seeit, you don't think about it when
you see it, but then youknow when you were on the sides many
of the day. You were likeJesus, I can't wait to go off
these sides all stop, all stop, parish and cold, blown up your

(12:52):
fucker skirt on a fucking December morning, pissing down the rape, raging all
the time. There's there's no happypoint. You're raging, you know what
I mean, even when you doget paid, like games happen and sent
a Friday and that that's about itfor about telling the Saturday when you wake
up. Yeah, yeah, givethem from the drink or whatever. Yeah,
but you're you're we were discussing beforehand. You're gonna put a fuck I

(13:15):
can't wait to see. I wantyou to do. You know what's a
good episode. I'm gonna send youon myself and Jeremy Bride in an episode
yet last year on how to builda house from the site from greenfield site
to turn in the key. It'sa two hour like a serious thing or
like we no, it's it's itis. People have actually messaged me going
I follow that to the fucking letterto law, because I built enough of

(13:37):
the fucking things, Like but Iskipped out, like I didn't go what
you need to do I gave thegenuine eight zy, like you know what
the fucking be looking for? LikeI didn't go into what type of windows
you should be putting in. That'syour own fucking business, like do you
know? But I gave you thestages, the stages of what to do,
like and what to be looking outfor and stuff that people wouldn't coup.
I'm gonna send it on to you. You it's it's still myself McBride,

(14:00):
the maggot, like you know whatI mean. But like, if
if I could ever give anybody thenumber one piece of advice, and one
fell actually reiterates us I met himin Galway one night. Is the best
advice I ever got was from yousold. You told me on that podcast
to buy a bad old van ifI was going to build them, and
I would fucking yo could just aboutholding together. And he went to him

(14:20):
by himself, an old Berlingo right, oh yes, Berlingo can go.
Yeah, he fucking it. Theydrew the fucking world home and the fucking
thing like and everything was half tothe price then, like because he was
able to shop around like in yeahye the pit. Oh there's a lot
to be said. My next purchase. Are you getting a van? Getting?

(14:41):
Can I get a van? Youknow? I've seen a lovely green
postpan there the other day Reynold Kango, I think it was Yeah. Did
you ever see them? Months?Yeah, yeah, yeah, same as
same as exactly. Yeah. Yeah. There was an old granny driving one
and they looked at MACI I justthought himself, jeans, which would you
swapping? I nearly went up toher and say, would you mind swap?

(15:03):
And I get more use of him, But I would think, I'm
thinking about getting a van something youcould throw a mattress into in the back
as well, so that like,if you're rapping down the country, you
wouldn't have to be paying you know, stupid money for shit hotels and stuff.
I still have. I still havethe oul jeep and she's a commercial

(15:24):
version. Now I don't mind drivinglate at night. But I tell you
one thing, the luxury of havingan out sleeping bag and i'd a yoga
mat, I didn't bother with fuckingmattress, and i'd fucking yoga mat fucked
behind the seat. And you justpull over there with the truckers and you
staying there after a gig? Wouldyou many? Is the time. A
good few times I've attempted to,you know, you'd attempt to drive home

(15:46):
from fucking dairy or some focking placeand the next thing you'll get as far
as maybe moniting and go to say'thappening, I need a couple of hours,
came and jump into the fucking backby and is glorious, glorious.
I will have I will have avan for ever morelock there's there would always
be a van in the family,like it's just has to hand one.
No, no, this is good. Like I'd love to I'd love to

(16:07):
get a cameravan, but they kindof went to bit crazy and prices recently
too, so I'm still kind ofholding off on them. Yorks, I
wouldn't like, could you just like, I don't know if you could justify
it unless you're living in America orsomething like the fucking thing you'll sit for
sit for half the year sitting theregrowing fucking grass out the front, and
least with the van if you hadto go and do a job, you
could fox something at the back ofa two like you know or whatever,

(16:30):
like push like it doubles up.I suppose it doubles up. Yeah,
fucking van. There's so class.There's so fucking class. I have to
I left to get somebody. Ileft to get some I'm sure you know
if you fellas that'll be selling goodbands anyway, So I can't. I've
been looking on done deal in differentplaces like that, but nothing, nothing's
really coming up. Yeah, peopledon't get rid of them, that's the
thing. Like, they just don'tget rid of them. Once you find

(16:52):
a good van by you hang onto. It was talking without a guy.
Yes, there's electrician four head upon the van and she he's just
keep in minded. He's Tiota fuckingshe was a light as Tyota. He's
to see what's on mine, youknow. Two thousand, one hundred,
two thousand, sorry, two hundredand seventeen thousand in this car Opalestra.
Oh, I'm in the insignia,and I'd say about closer to three hundred

(17:14):
thousand, I'd say at the stage, I'd say, it's just it's gone
around the world a few times.She fucking has put fucking keep Island to
her and she'd be fucking grant there'sa Keeping Island. For some reason,
I was I was under the impressionthat two hundred thousand was kind of like
the limit for cars, and thenyou had to kind of more or less
get rid of it. But Iwant to keep going with this one.
A good mechanic in town. There'san old school kind of fellow and likes.

(17:38):
Not like that bestard you had beforewhen you were living up in Dublin.
Remember the crol at that time.Yeah, that's buckers. They give
me a dodgy crawl up. Butwe've moved on from that one anyways now,
and I'm an open man now,so I'm going to stick to those
there. They've never let me down. Always good fucking yolks on fuel.
Hey, what was what was thedeal with with Biden? Anyway? If

(18:00):
ever I can't, I do youknow what I was laughing? I said,
the fuckers from Mayo. If everhe could be from his family,
be from me, a county thatcould give less of a funck about pomp
and ceremony, it's Mayo. There'sI know. You'll get no gi out
of them fuckers, like when itcomes to being ah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, you get like not notthat you're miserable or but what I'm

(18:22):
saying is you'll get no You'll getno traction whatsoever, Like you might in
Dublin or Wicksow or whatever, butyou will get no traction out of Westerners
when it comes to showing up withfucking pomp and regalia, Like it's just
a case of okay, if there, if someone hands your flag, he'd
be like, oh yeah, you'lldo it for a laugh. Like.
But I was there on the dayhe came to Bellach, right, almost

(18:45):
everybody was like, oh, yeah, we're just here for the points.
Are they're here not just points?But they were there for the food.
Like it was a great atmosphere,great crack like, and everyone was about
to enjoy themselves. And I'm suresome of Biden's family were probably like,
oh, I can't wait to seehim, But I think the majority of
people were there just for the fuckingcrack nobody. Really, it could have
been anyone at all. It couldhave been Michael Platley, like it would

(19:07):
be the same crowd. Just whenhe shouted I'm one more sorry for Fox's
sake, I'd say, I reckonhe had two autoques. He would look
at the whole time. Yeah,I'd looked a bit for robotic all right.
The way he was talking, theeyes were kind of scanning. He
was like, oh yeah, onemore thing. It kind of turns and

(19:29):
you could just see him looking down. He was trying to figure out what
it meant. Mayo for Sam,but he said, I think it just
kicked into his brain. But eightyyears of age, man in some shape.
Yeah, he's in some abrature.Look at how many eighty year olds
do you find are big apes ofshy too, Like if you're eighty,
you know, an eighty year oldis still ripping around the place like you
know, oh yeah yeah. Butlike fair Peton Mike, he was,

(19:52):
he was moving around the place.He he flew into Knock and then he
I think he took a speedboat thentoo Westport. He did not. You
can imagine a minispeople back in thenineties. I only thought that the other
two was this called traffic. Itwasn't traffic. Tonner in Paradise. Was
that thunder and Paradise something like that? You in Paradise? It was,

(20:18):
yeah, Jesus, I just wantedto get your take on it because it
seemed to not have any impact whatsoever. It was like, oh yeah,
Grant, Grant, I'll tell youone thing. But I looked really well,
Like they had the whole town paintedup and everyone was in great form
and it was a great day out. Like but I don't know, like

(20:40):
I mean, I don't I didn'tgive a shy personally, like, and
I don't know if a lot ofpeople did really, but it's like it's
hard to take a fellow like thatseriously when there's so much crazy shit America
does. Like, you know,even though he did say Mayo for Sam,
it's like, yeah, never mindall that bad shit you're doing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, aslong as Mayo win the football. Yeah,

(21:00):
Jesus. November there was a showerof fuckers wet good. I just
buttering over a situation with coming outwith a slogan or something. You're like,
oh, just don't look, don'tlook at what we're doing in Africa,
what we're doing anywhere else around theworld. Just so good time.
They're so good at it that evenwhen I was down there, I was
getting carried away. It's like,do you know what, Actually, Joe
Biden, he's a fair he's doingwell. Like I was thinking, I

(21:22):
was kind of getting on board theBiden train for a while. They're fucking
going around talking highly of him.I would have it said, I would
have it said, he's a gladword about the great, great great cousin.
But no, but it's great.It's great for nothing about the coronation,

(21:42):
knowing about that this weekend. Nono, no, no, no,
it couldn't be well. People werekind of giving out about it.
My father was giving out about Hegoes, oh, they don't even know
why they're showing that chick. Andthen I go up to the house.
I'm like, are you not watchingit there? No, yeah, yeah,
just just to be given you know, he'd be kind of like to
be given out about it. Butstill, you know, if you're watching

(22:03):
it, they have you. Yousee. I think I think they're they're
the idea of royalty and stuff likethat for the lights of our parents,
because they're not a million miles gonefrom being, you know, underneath the
the cape of the United Kingdom,like they wouldn't you know, it's only
a generation since them. Like,so I wonder is it's kind of like

have it on the hook? Isthere a hook still in them? Some
which way I go wonder? Couldbe Yeah, there could be something like
that, all right, you know, I'm sure, but on every channel
and everyone's talking about it, youkind of want to half to know what's
going on yourself. But the outlad was bulling anyway. He was bulling

(24:17):
holding apparently, and they want tosay, but the football will go the
same way. The football will gothe same way, like because that's everything.
Everything is monetized now, so that'sthat's the nature of the Internet.
It's like all the good shit isnearly monetized. All the stuff you want
to you kind of they hooked youin with the likes of Facebook and that
and and now most content even onInstagram. I just see stuff pop it
up where it's like if you wantto subscribe to my page or whatever.

(24:40):
But maybe that's just the nature ofit. Maybe maybe that's something you have
to do. Yeah, it's fuckingfellas like those who are trying to move
further off gride. I think it'sit's jarring, do you know what I
mean? It's fucking jarring. Itis, Tom, You know what it
is, jarman because it kind ofgoes against any any hooks you kind of
have. You know, you're kindof if you're if you're trying to go
off grade, but yet you're stillrelying on Instagram or anything like that.

(25:03):
It's a bit tricky, like becauseone of them has kind of given away
too much nearly. But in fairness, you've been kind of you've been quiet
as socials of late from what Isee I have really, you know,
it's just I don't want to beputting up stuff for the sake of it,
you know, And the last fewyears, like I was putting up
so much stuff from it would saymaybe since I was well, since I

(25:25):
was twenty three. I've been withthe hardy books and then since about thirty
three, will say, till thirtyeight or thirty seven, you could say,
flat out post and all the time, and I just kind of got
fed up with it. So I'mjust trying to maybe create some new content
and like kind of come up withnew ideas. But I'm also just trying
to live my life here in Mayoand like kind of get into the farm
and the small bit and all thatkind of stuff. So it's a mixture

(25:47):
of a lot of different things.But I still have one foot in the
comedy world or the social media world. Like I'm still doing stuff, but
I just don't care about it asmuch as I used to. As then
I don't care about It's not mymain goal, Like every day would say
my main thing would be maybe howto live off the grid, to build
a shed, or maybe grows somewild mushrooms that I could sell. I

(26:08):
love it. Yeah, the Japanese, that's exactly where I was hoping.
You were going, like you knowwhat I mean that you didn't just wander
off into the abyss like and takeup some fucking it job or something.
But you're you're actually going fucking furtherinto the wilderness. Like. But at
the same time, Tom in sayingthat though I do, I do like
the media, social media stuff,so I would think about doing some flogs
or something like that, maybe onthe farm. I think that, you

(26:30):
see, that's where I was kindof going. I think that because I
know Michael Rice a little bit,but because he's not back on the farm.
Michael Rice is in England now,like, so he's he's kind of
I won't say he's cast aside thedairy farm or whatever, but nobody would
know what at this stage's in anyway involved in farming. Like, but
I think there's there's a huge marketfor it. Oh yeah, market.

(26:53):
I hate to even sound content orwhatever. I know. Yeah, the
second it came out of my moutholslike, wh what we need to do
to sit down and monetize your farm? You know, foxy but fierce interest,
I think for the crack, doyou know what I mean? Actually,
I mean you dovetail nicely into abit of fucking ruw like that.

(27:15):
You know. It's not like it'snot like ma isn't going to Farman,
you know what I mean, Likeit's yeah, yeah, exactly. It's
you, that's literally. But asyou were saying there, you don't want
to give too much away there becauselike you know, you know, as
you're saying, you don't want tomonetize your home life as well. Yeah,
that gets creepy. I don't know, it gets a bit fucking creepy.

(27:37):
Like I mean, that has beenthe thing that's been banded back and
forth a few times that because peoplehopefully we'll be building fairly soon here,
like, but I banded it backand forth about walking people through the process,
like maybe creating a page of contentfor it, like yeah, but
it's like it's actually my house,we get do you know you creepy then,

(28:00):
but like that's what they're doing now, that's what Yeah, But like
in America basis there they're they giveeverything away like to hold your bang,
the families in it, the fuckinghouses in it. And it's just that's
just the way some people do it, you know. So it's a tricky
one to kind of get right becauseI think we're more private people in Ireland
would say, compared to well,I don't know if we are, like

(28:22):
what I suppose some people who wantto who want to make a social media
that they're willing to kind of nearlygive any privacy away. Yeah, but
they it's never actual privacy, Idon't think, because you're you're creating another
character. It's not you who yeah, walks through the kitchen and kicks a
fucking you know, an elder bagout of the way. On for the
love a fuck, who's left thatjoke around the place. Yeah, yeah,

(28:44):
you could, you could do.You could do funny vlogs on how
to like say, how to dowhatever, like how to hang a door
or something like that. I was, yeah, I think maybe I'll do
I'll do that, do you knowwhat I mean? Like how to put
up a fucking plaster slab like andhit me up if you actually want to
know how to do it. Butthis is the this is the fast fucking
way, because yeah, sure,shit, I've bust enough fingers down to

(29:07):
the years doing it the wrong wayand doing it the hard way. I've
found mostly the fucking handy way ofdoing the thing and getting the fucking driven
on. And they'll be looking atit like, you know, because as
we were talking beforehand, like JesusChrist glad to be talking about freezing points
and all that fucking stuff that youwere looking at there like and be worried
about that stuff at all? Doyou know what I mean? Water?

(29:30):
That's the number one thing. Hydrated, Stay hydrated, stay and also keep
fucking hydration out of your building.That's the number one. That's the only
thing to be worried about. InIreland. Fucking we're worried about could people
are fucking mad putting these on thefloor, fucking heatings into yolks and fucking

(29:53):
fierce expensive for what? Like?For what? What's what we need all
this heat for? Who had thehouse roast and grown up like you didn't?
Ah? So we all want toI was over the house recently and
beautiful fucking who architectural fucking project nowis what this house was. Their architect
went kind of crazy and he've anglesin all directions. But as fuck me,

(30:15):
I'm fucking melting inside here and thisis February. As a fucking melton
my fucking eyes, as we haveto The fucking under floor is taken away
nicely at twenty three twenty four degreesthere. That's not Irish people temple.
That's best a house fifteen or sixteendegrees. And if I want to get
hotter, I'll get closer to thefire, do you know what I mean,

(30:37):
I'll put on a fucking jumper Ican't. Yeah, So the way
we are here, like the breezecoming in the door, So we just
have to throw on a few jumpersor we'll like like start doing if you
press up or something like that.But it saves you the long run.
Anything but the underground heating would bea lovely touch. But I don't know
if it's good. I don't knowif it's it's kind of you're nearly better
to get the heat yourself somehow,you know, like we'd say go out

(31:00):
and do a bit of chopping orsomething one hundred like it's it's not natural
at all, like to have tohappen now. I mean they've been doing
it for since Roman times, butnot in Ireland. They haven't been doing
it. But like I think thesmart construction industry has a kind of caught
it into thinking, oh Jesus,you need this, and you need I

(31:21):
was going to buy a fireplus Ia fellow the other day and I was
like, as I went up tolook at the thing, I didn't range
no, note is actually a firesurround to the granite fire surrounds noble looking
thing. But then there's a morefucking hassle than it was worked. But
that's the way, and it's thesame fell as the block the hears why
the fuck have you this pulled outat it? It's just fucking noble yoke
all this as we I blocked upthe whole thing. We're doing fucking air

(31:42):
recovery units. I want the housefucking a rate of these, is the
fucking telling you now, as thewhole lot gooes bank, he says,
I don't want fucking big fucking bills. I want to be able to eat
this thing. Fucking that's what youmean. I sure you must be able
to spend in fifteen or sixteen fuckingthousands. It is all just as and
then somebody sisters fucking maybe closer totwenty two twenty three, Yes, fuck

(32:05):
me, lad you buy a lotof fucking blocks and coal for that.
You could see him, You couldsee him looking at me like I had
just shit into his fucking cereal ah, because he'd been drinking the kool aid.
Listen to all these fellows on sitesthe church, No, no fucking
fires, no not, And you'relike yeah, if the power goes,
if the powers down for two orthree days some count with the fucking JCB

(32:27):
blows up pylon out of it,what the fuck are you going to heat
yourself with? Then? You know, I you know, we kind of
get used to the comforts, andthen when we kind of push where you
get too comfortable nearly, you know, it's not the wrong lit. A
bit of cold there keeps you moving. I'm one hundred percent, but like
I'm I'm probably hyperactive anyway in thatI can't. Yeah, I'm in them
out. I'm sucking up them downanyway. So I cannot see myself lounging

(32:53):
for continuous amounts of time like andyou know, and I need the floor
fucking warm as well and everything else. Fu I'm the same time, I
can't sit still like no, Ijust probably the only time I could sit
still would be maybe an hour beforeI sleep. I probably could sit down
and be like yes, right,and I even you know, I kind
of have to be always moving.I don't know what it is, but

(33:13):
it's just like it's a good thingand it's a bad thing. It's a
good thing because it keeps me warm, but it's a bad thing because even
if I'm having a conversation with someone, I'll have to stand up and do
some stretches or I have to dosome shadow box in sometime. Yeah,
I know, I've seen it.Maggott. Actually I like it. I
like it. Maybe I've got maggotsyou've got have you got worms? You
just get us a vival mact orsomething. What's the what's what is the

(33:38):
farman? Is it? Is itdry stock? Or what? He?
Farman? What are you hoping toget into you? Well, you see
the thing is I'm living close tomy father here, so he has he
has a farm. Yes, nowI wouldn't call him myself a farmer is
a stretch? Like the most farmanI've done the last year is it's been
farming simulatter on the PC. Sodoes he even though that you're planning on

(33:58):
on joining him in farming? Oris it? No? Like he was
like, you wouldn't be into itanyways, you wouldn't be into it that
thing like that. Oh my god, I put the passive aggressive. But
it's it's actually so they're so it'sso layered actually that it's not it's not
even as are you wouldn't be intoit. Put deep down. I wish

(34:22):
you were into it, you know, yes, And then also Jess,
I wouldn't want to put you outlike if you're not into it, because
you know you're doing well. Butdo you know that there's that fucking one
I've gotten that off the outlights aswell, Like there's so many layers that
you're like, what does he mean? Y? Yeah, the fucker.
That's when you look from down thebarrel, you see I'm going to be

(34:43):
a YouTuber Dad. I just youjust look in the eyes and they're like,
I wish I never had you.He walks out out in the middle
of the twenty acre field out thereback and just screens the sky but troubles
Zuckerberg. But no, I'm onlydipping my toes into it time. Really

(35:04):
like I m just like I liketo kind of like play with stuff in
the garden, Like would say dockleaves and like what what I can use
the dock leaves for. I metsome dock leaves soup the other day.
You did not, I swear togod, I found it. I said,
they're all in the garden. Isaid they must be there for something.
Yeah, they must be You mustbe able to use them for something
apart from wiping a sting away orwiping your arts get caught short, you

(35:28):
know. So I um, we'veall been there, we've all been stuck.
Nothing wrong with it. That's that'swhat I stalked up in during lockdown.
It was the leaves. Jesus allgarden looks amazing. That thing was
covered with fucking dock leaves last timeI looked, Yes, fair places out,
Yeah, how was your gardens lookingthrough near it? But just all

(35:59):
you do is you you just getthem, You bring them inside and you
kind of put some hot water overit, and you kind of let them
just kind of well simmer away there. Well the way exactly. Yeah,
I've had little soup all right,and it's supposed to be just supposed to
put nearly a second mickey on you. It's supposed to be unreal iron and
it's like it's good, it's goodfor the blood, I think as well.

(36:19):
Yeah, stuff, well here there'stwo times of the year. Yes
you're right, there's yes, Yes, you're right. My mother is very
good at that kind of stuff.She've alled them my old old recipes in
her head. And oh and youknow them old sayings that is one for
the song and two for the cats, you know, and you're kind of
going on now, well the catis this, and it's like Jesus Christ,
you're speaking and fucking hieroglyphs. Awoman, just write it down.

(36:44):
Two in the ditch is better thanone in the pocket. Yea, so
many random ones that make zero sense. But actually, my grandmother who used
to live in this house here,Tom, I'll just take this. Yeah,
she used to when we were likeknocking around the house. She used
to have the same going out ofmatter the fash and like a wise woman
like so she always had different sceneslike but we found out that that meant

(37:06):
Arab may death come upon you toher own benchildly. So you're like,
we thought it was something sweet.Thanks what a weapon? I know,
I know, but so I kindof that's the kind of farm and I

(37:27):
mean, they're really Tom, ButI wouldn't mind getting a goat on a
few different things. But I've beenmourned up a goat because apparently eats everything
instead instead of alone Moore. We'llsay, I'm not gonna say, I'm
not gonna tell you to put acollar on him, but that's how you'd
sap a goat eating much you don'twant to put a collar on him,
like you know, exactly, feedhim with the hand and then you soon

(37:49):
I mean, like if you hadhim as a bit of a friend,
we'll say, feed him with thehand, take him down the road to
eat all the grasses side of theroad and everything you see, like their
their mischievous out fuckers are like butlike, yeah, I mean you could
get a handy size go to afellow. They can't get up to the
washing line. But some of themgo as big as fucking donkeys. Somebody
fuckers like an old dwarf goat.Yeah, starting on the small pigmy fellas

(38:12):
like fucking yeah, now there's there'sa fucking long for you just to start
to your own young dwarf or fuckingtwo I found you ever see them yoaks
horsetails that grow the fucking things wouldbust up through concrete and everything. Them
out weeds. They look like amini Christmas tree. They grow maybe about
four inches high. They're good fortightening the soil of they they're I tell

(38:35):
you what, they're good for tighteningfucking everything in you. Their horsetail.
Oh my fucking Jesus, they're right. What's wrong is to be is in
you. They're unbelievable fucking yolks.What I was saying to she was a
hard cultures in a local guard.I swat the fuck are the yolks even
called her? They are? Theyactually horse all they are horsetails. So

(38:57):
you can't get rid of the fuckingthings because that's because they're their roots are
about seven foot along under them.The ones. Yeah, I think,
I think I know the ones.We have them there in the greenhouse and
there they kind of ruin the silof it. They make it all tight.
They would do, they would yeah, yeah, yeah, they would
do. But they're fucking put inmedical terms, they're fucking unbelievable for fucking

(39:19):
for writing you every fuck of whichway. They they're unfucking real yolks for
it. They just clean up thepipes, just not just clean out the
pice, but they're fucking good forthe heart, the fucking blood stream,
every fucking thing. Like yeah,yeah, so maybe it's all grown in
the garden, like it's all grownwild in Ireland and I don't know much
about it. So it's first bushfor do you know? They all yellow
fucking yolks. They you know itdoes. Yeah, it's the spiky all

(39:42):
fucking ones, and they the yellowthings that growing. They're supposed to be
unreal. You can make a teaout of them. Apparently it gives you
fucking superpowers nearly as well, Iput you know, yeah, we'd have
to buy them out from fucking JoeRogan first, like before we exactly where
we trust them. I even heardfrom John a long time. I haven't
seen much of his podcast. I'veyeah, I dipped in and out of

(40:06):
one or two men. Should theystart sounding fucking similar all of a sudden,
like you're kind of gonna we're intothe yoga here now you just so
fucking five minutes in look, yeah, yeah exactly, Oh yeah, yeah,
you kind of get you kind ofgoing cycles, and you you end
up kind of hearing the same stuffover and over again. You have to
move on. Well, he'd feltlike he'd fell on. He two fells
on that I was after watching theshow, and it was about I'd say

(40:27):
we probably talked about it as AgentAngent Apocalypse as the show on Netflix with
Graham Hancock. Oh yeah yeah,yeah, another one, and he had
him on and jez I listened tothat one now on fairness, like and
it was just more so how theywere trying to discredit her man. But
he was like, I'm not tellingyou that there was fucking giants walking around.
But he says, there's no fuckingway in hell that with this huge

(40:50):
fucking cataclysm, and then a coupleof we're a fucking hunter gatherers up until
about six thousand years ago, andthen lo and behold, we're able to
build these fucking massive yolks, likebecause in X mats of Yoko were able
to build. After that was theEiffel Tower and that was about two and
eighteen hundred years later. By all, yeah, you know, like more
they might unless they had techniques thatthey must have learned, Like how do

(41:13):
they know of these techniques to beable to build that, Like, I
don't think they build it with physicalpower. They must they know work matter.
Yeah, yeah, exactly exactly,That's exactly it. Like but and
he's still not even going down thatroad. He's kind of like, I'm
just saying we're around a lot longerthan devisor fucking saying like, you know,
that's the Richard the Richard Hancock filler, the really soft spoken English lad,

(41:34):
is it Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah he's And
the only thing is he do youknow, I get people can say a
word wrong, and I've gotten betterat this, and like there is actually
there's there's it's a condition. ChrisKent told me about it because he has
a lot of these, the poorfucker like like he can't stand people that
eat loud, and it's actually acondition. But I don't mean gets a
bit take. I mean, we'llrun through a fucking wall after hearing somebody

(41:55):
eats. But there's you know,when somebody says a word wrong, like
they're trying to say the word specificand they say pacific. Yeah, Jesus
Christ, I can't correct you becausewe're both adults. If we were sixteen,
I correct you. But he kepton saying the Volley of the King's
one. There's the whole fuck podcast. I'm also turned it off nine times
if that count, says volley,there's no would you fuck off it yourself?

(42:19):
Now? Fuck off Graham, It'svalley. There's a fucking the Valley
of the Kings. He's like theVolley of the Kings. And all he
was doing is Joe thought that,of course, this was a natural English
accent from wherever he was from.Like, and Joe's gone, I love
the way you say volley as nobodyin England says volley. They don't know,
not like the way you're saying itthere. That was the only thing
my mother says, say a certificate. She goes, start to wicket.

(42:42):
I know I can allow that becausethat's that's certificate. Like you know,
like the outline calls like he doesn'tcall it cement because it's cement. You
don't have to go, you don'thave to get the word finished too quick,
like it's fine cement, no cement, okay, fair enough, yeah,
yeah fair ven. I would saymy own name ron till I was

(43:05):
about thirty two. I was goingon, but it's Owen. There's a
w in there, and I justlike, oh fuck, there is.
Do you know you know when you'dbe surprised by your own name. No,
I was going around telling people ownsmy name on It's like, oh
no, wait, aut I thinksomebody actually somebody I think it was a

(43:28):
Venezuelan land It's like, is yourname Owen or owen or? And I
was like, oh jeez, goodquestion, and then I would almost be
own and we haven't spoken said that'sfair specific, It's like just yeah,
it's it own or Owen. Itwas like around the time where they were
moving into the house, you know, and they were like, how do

(43:49):
you pronounce your name? Is itOwen or own? I was like,
fuck, you've caught me out toher, Jesus, I'll go back and
talk to the parents. Did yegive me an our right? I call
you back? And how how likelife for the woman and everything? She
loves Mayo because I was concerned bringingmy Dublin wife down to I know she'd

(44:14):
kind of like it, but sheis in the long term, what way
she'd fucking like rural South Tipperary.But she's she's a bracelet fierce. Now.
Yeah, my missus loves it too, you know. She likes the
nature is nice and all that stuff. The walks, the space is good.
But and the funny thing is she'sfrom Buene's areas, so she's from
like a busy Yeah, she's fromthe like inside Buene's areas, So like,

(44:35):
I don't know how many people livethere, may be twenty million or
thirty And it's not not a shejust need to be too bothered by the
slow pace of life here, becauseit is it is very slow, Mayo.
Like you'd ask somebody to do ajob, fian and they might tell
you next week and it could bethree or four weeks away. You just
take it as a given. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you just that's
just that's just the way it goesbecause you can't you know, you can't

(44:57):
really be forcing them to do thingsquicker because that's just the way the pace
of life is so um very slowhere. But it's very relaxing too.
I find sometimes when we go intothe city it takes us a bit of
a while to kind of acclimatize tothe speed. Like if I if I
go meet some friends in the city, now I'll end up I'll end up
either kind of like a bit anxiousor like looking that's very busy, or

(45:17):
else I'll have to have a fewpints to kind of just to kind of
bring myself to the level that's thatI find people in the city to be
at. That is funny, isn'tit that there their vibe is running at
a different different pace or maybe it'sa different vibration as they talk about nowadays,
like you know whatever, exactly knowit is though it definitely is because

(45:38):
I am sure, sure shit acamera man since moving here, Sure as
shit, I am like, sureshit, what I'm a carmera Manson's moving
back here like and aggression aggression isaccepted around here, is yeah, you
know, like but much camera like. I remember one of the first times
driving back up to Dublin, whistlingthough, yes it's a lovely drive.

(46:00):
Now, Jess, I forgot.I get myself a little bag and chips
after the left lounge. Now thiswill be grazed in along the loundby road.
Trafficking too bad? Now, thisis fine? Can to get on
the fucking canals? And this fellon the bike, just fucking slapped off
the car, just cycling, justbeing a bolox, like because he was
cutting through a red light. Myfucking rev counter in my brain just went

(46:21):
from fucking ticking away eight hundred riffsup to twelve thousands, just like fury
an under half a second, somethingthat I hadn't I hadn't felt in Dan
their years. I was like,oh, for fuck sake, But at
least I was mature enough to kindof go, okay, take a back
downtown take a back down. He'she's nobody. Yeah, oh yeah,

(46:42):
you know, I'm the same.Sometimes you think you're patient. It's like
she's had turned into a really relaxedsort of fellow, and it just takes
one small thing, like when yougo into the city to fucking ruin your
day. Someone that's stepping out infront of you. You know, you
know, you're walking on the frontfootpath. Some fellow comes out of a
shop and they kind of walk headedthere, but they're walking slow and you
You're like, fucking move, I'vealready got palpitations. Now you're saying that

(47:02):
to me, I'm like, ohJesus, I just want to kick him
into the fucking league. Yeah.The one that I think worldwide should be
allowed, though, is to bootsomeone up the whole legally, if they're
walking along footpack front yet busy footpalland they just come to a grinding hole
to check their phone. Oh yeah, like a boot in the hole like

(47:24):
man movement or child. Just bootthem straight up. Allow to put an
elbow into the back of the eggfor that, just just one a day.
I really find the gigs time it'sgot I was gonna ask you the
same thing it's I'm lucky enough.I've I've started my own club here in
Tip Monthly Club and it's a fuckingjoy. It's a joy like um I've

(47:46):
been doing. I've been gigging away, tipping away maybe you know a couple
of weeks or whatever, but likenothing like the pace I was done before.
But I'm getting far more out ofsome of the gigs I'm doing now,
do you know, like for themore time to think about it is
that and the quality of a giglike I didn't like it's all well and
good when I was living in Dublin. You do five nights inside and you're

(48:08):
done, or maybe you might dofive or six spots throughout the week.
Ninety eight percent of those people aren'teven from Ireland or or will they ever
remember your name or did they engagewith you because you're on the lineup of
five or six months, you know, like and also like you're in the
city, there's no there's nothing specialabout what you're doing because there'll be some

(48:29):
kind blown fire out of his holeand a fucking venue across the bridge,
like you know what I mean.There's people like, yeah, sure we
came to this and you should bethankful for that, whereas say I was
in Balancholic and Cork the other night. It's the only show in town.
It's what's going on. There's nothingelse on, literally nothing else on.
And the people sure, I meanthey're they're they're sitting in your pocket for

(48:52):
the entire time I was there,And it's not that my ego. It's
great, yeah, but at thesame time, you're like, there's a
value on everything I'm given out here, because literally you're all taking it in,
you're digesting it, and you're goingto class lovely and then they want
to talk afterwards. They're buying ticketsto your right show, you know,
like yeah, oh this is whereten shows. This is where ten fucking

(49:13):
shows, you know. Okay,gotcha. Yeah, So we look at
it now. I never thought ofthat before. Yeah, but that that's
that's a good way look at it, because I suppose it's like Shoppernokle and
yeah, yeah, yeah, keepit in the academy. I'm not saying
that I'm only ever going to gigto my people, like you know what
I mean or whatever, but that'swhat I'm gonna do. I will only
gig to my people from here.I will not gig. Chicken Birth starts

(49:40):
at the door, like fucking Sligo, you could fuck off get up Rosscott.
Not a fucking chance. Well,what I'm saying is, there's well
I did a gig out the countryCountry, and I talked about this before
and it was just actually was itwas a it was a Rode to Damascus
moment. This guy I did thisgig in tusting the back of beyonds Here,

(50:06):
Tipperary. I'd say I'd only everbeen in this village once twice before
myself, because it's going nowhere.The next like the next thing is a
huge fuck off mountain, and todrive through that mountain passes a hour of
a drive, lovely drive, buta whur of a drive. But you
don't go that way to get someplace. You go that way if you wanted
to have a nice drive, doyou know what I mean? Yeah,
yeah, yeah, you wouldn't bepassing through it. And it was I

(50:27):
was broached, just kind of going, hey, would you put on a
show here? We have this venuethat's going to be a restaurant eventually,
but it's now just a wide openspace with painted walls and a blank floor.
So it's like okay, grand andit's sold out really quickly and had
ended up having to do two shows. All nice, that's in Cork,
Tom is it no one Tipperary?Okay? But what it was, I'd

(50:49):
say, next to nobody there hadever in their life seen stand up comedy
before next Like I percentage so lowthat it wasn't more talking about. But
they were on it. They werelike they were in your veins. These
people, they were in your fuckingveins. You wouldn't three hours could have
gone by and you wouldn't know.Yah got away. He was like,

(51:10):
yeah, yeah, they were in. I came away just up predict.
They were on every fucking syllable youwere coming out with. They were hanging
down your every word even there wasit was but it was a bloke I
was talking about afterwards. He cameup and he was he was smoking a
fag out aside, So I I, Jesus Christ, I see you all

(51:34):
right, that is what the fuckhe syst I I had never considered this
thing that you just did. I'dnever in the same way as I've never
thought about astronauts. I just hewas align to me with a I think
what he was trying to do isfind something so obscure that this man had

(51:55):
got fifty years on the planet withoutHe knew of astronauts, but he never
once thought about how an astronaut becamean astro you know. Nor he knew
of Tommy Turn and then he knewabout I suppose Darah Brains and these people
put never ever, even in hiswildest thoughts, I've ever thought, I
wonder how that fellow started. Iwonder how that happened, you know,

(52:20):
or I wonder what it's like tobe in the room to see that kind
of stuff. Never. Yeah,but it was him to do one on
the line the jer No, well, the way he was, I don't
know what he went away with,but I definitely his brain had opened up
into another another chasm inside of hisbrain. He kind of wandered away into
the darkness on. I don't reallyknow. I know it was just an

(52:43):
odd moment. He was like thefucking Jesus. That was he was nearly
half ann eyed with me in oneway, like but in a funny way
like on, you've broken my brain, Like you've broken open the door and
my brain. Yeah, you know, you've opened a new chamber of his
mind. So what I'm saying isthat that I I'm not putting myself on
a power with fuck astronauts, butDick chokes because sometimes make people laugh and

(53:07):
laugh really hard at the country inthe country, and I personally took a
lot of pleasure from the doing thesekind of gigs you know like this,
Yeah, there's so much like inwhat the value you get to meet people
from like you know, at thecommunity of the town or whatever. Like
it's a great way to meet peoplefrom the town, like you know,
like you make friends there for lifeand earlier the course of if you if

(53:28):
you do a gig there two orthree times in a row. Sure's it's
a place you can always go to. Still people you know still to this
day, I'll get it like inthe local town which would be close enough
to that village, but you'll geta nod out. Well I was there
that night. Is a great nightback when you come around again and it
was like, I don't know theman from Adam, but I'm like,
great, do you know? Butit's just a nice positive How do you

(53:51):
find the topics tom this? Likeyou know, because you're are you always
changing the topics throughout every year orlike since we say, since COVID is
finished, you know, I findlike that I don't want to be talking
about anything relates to that really,Yeah, yeah, most people are out
of it now, so yeah,I'm trying to be conscious that it's it's
and it will it happen naturally,Like I'm just moving with what my life

(54:12):
is like at the minute, Likein kind of way we're saying, I
don't give a fuck about that shitanymore, like so yeah, yeah,
of course it's I couldn't find myselfwriting anything interest trusting on it, like,
but it's not sporing it sporing outat this point. The new show
that I'm writing probably is on theparwer with some of the stupid shit that's
going on right now, but onlyfrom a tongue in cheek, silly tom
point of view, like I'm nottrying to ted talk anybody into you know,

(54:34):
yeah, yeah, but I amkind of going that the funck now
the funk No, we don't hearlike and you will find. What I
find anyway is ninety nine point ninepercent of people to come to come to
comedy clubs think the same way,or at least they're happy enough to laugh
along with the men that's saying thewords like that exactly. Even if you're
doing something absurd, like you're talkingabout something like the Biden situation, and
like you're talking about how absurd itis, people don't really care, like

(54:59):
if they if they hate Biden orthey love Biden, they don't really care.
Like as long as you're making themlaugh, that's it. And you're
average. Because I still get likeI get asked. It was in Balancolic.
I was talking with a barman downstairsbefore I went up to the club,
because a man, it must behard with all this cancel culture,
and because that's about three people onthe internet in the scheme of things,

(55:21):
it's almost it's not it's so small. It's literally fucking nobody, because anybody
is. And I don't give afuck about internet people. It's people that
actually come to a live show.They get all my love, you know
what I mean, they're getting there. I don't give a fuck about making
up invisible people like I don't care. Yeah, of course, Nana.

(55:42):
Once once, once you forget thatship too, you become liberated. Then
you can't be letting. You can'tbe letting these kind of like shadowy pet
figures kind of like hold you back, Well, there's I mean, who
are there? It's you know whatI mean, it's some bloke who can't
tie his own fucking shoelaces because hisbelly is that fucking big now and his
fight be half of women. You'relike, yeah, I bet you're a
creepy count behind it all. You'vedone some weird shit. We know,

(56:05):
we know not to be mean topeople. Actually, if you're raised halfway
right, you're not even mean toanimals, let alone people. You just
sound how about just be sounding?Yeah, that's it, not that you
even have. If you have tosay it to somebody, then they're already
fucked fuck you. Oh yeah,definitely, that's already like a red flag
like yeah, yeah, yeah.If you're shouting guys, we need to
make better. You're like, yeah, you've done something, You've done something

(56:28):
you can't like, yeah, Iremember there was a load of people kind
of getting canceled and pulled during lockdownstuff. I remember getting a couple of
message of let's going I wanted todo to come after you? As what
the fuck are they going to comeafter Tom? About? What are they
going to come aft to Tom?About? Man, woman or child.
I'll fight him. I'll fight themif I don't care, I'll fight them

(56:51):
because they'll totally yeah, yeah,they're totally wrong and they're lying. So
I'll definitely fight them and i'll justifyit. Oh yeah, I'll flog the
whole thing blog short off, middleof the road, let's do it.
Yeah, that's that's a lot ofbollocks. I think. Do you work
any do you work any multimedia intoyour stuff? I was good because because
I do, I used the projectorwhen I'm doing my stuff, and I've

(57:13):
kind of sometimes I would have reliedtoo much on the projector, so I'm
trying to go back to just straightup stand up. But I've also I'm
still using the projector, but I'mkind of I cut it in half with
say time wise, do you knowI have there's been fun. I wonder
who that other men was in theroom with the radio radio pop down,

(57:35):
but I do you know, I'vethought about it and I've fucking gone with
jeesus, I could I could explainit better with this thing battery by the
way, you know, But inin to answer you a question, no,

fucking funny. The whole premise isfunny. And I'm dranking, like,
can you can you give us abit of a hint though, like a
pantoken? Okay, no, no, it's it's what it is. It's

(58:21):
I'm trying to be sympathetic to whatI'm saying that to the to the the
scenario that I'm talking about, butit's it's fucking trigger warning. Like,
but I care, it's fucking funny. So I know multimedia. Would it
terrifies me that it would break.I did a couple of plays and you're
relying on this thing and that thing, and it's in my it's actually behind
