I'm moving on today's guest, speakingof the Cocoa Club. He is one
of the proprietors of the place,along with Conno Sullivan, who have had
on the podcast as well. Heis known as the only funny German online
and he's I don't know. I'msure there's loads of funny Germans, but
it's it's a great moniker and we'regoing by that forever. I'm not even

(04:05):
sure if I describe it, couldintroduce him by his real name, but
I will. Are we great creckwith the smashing Daniel Lucas? Great?
We're rough, Yes, lovely DanielLucas. How are you keeping, brother?
I'm keeping well. Yeah, Itotally only have a little bit of
a cold right now. But that'sabout the only thing hence why we're doing
this remotely. He's got he's gotthe dose. He's got the dose of

(04:28):
some sort. It's I saw himsteering. No Jesus, I would lick
your face. I don't want toknow anything about steering clear of diseases.
I want to lick lick a bowlerright If somebody has a bowler, I
want to lick their fucking face rightnow. I don't care, just to
see, just see what the outcomewould be. Fuck, it's how's life
in Cork anyway, it's good's busyday in the neighborhood. The gardens.

(04:50):
Everyone's doing the gardens today. There'sloads of plants and everything being carried around
the Where are you living? Areyou living in the city, Yeah,
I live in the city. Ilive you know where the UCC campuses the
college. Yeah, I'm around therethat areas grant and grand and quiet.
Yeah yeah, yeah, it's nicequite all students. Cark is just nine

(05:12):
percent students. I think some ofthe buildings are made of student They just
they just martyred a few students togetherjust to see you think, Christ al
Mighty. It's an unbelievable place forit. But it's it's students and it's
um us Europeans coming over to workfor for the big tech companies. That's
all it called these days. Justbig taken firm it that's it. Bring

(05:34):
them over, bring them in.You're all right, you're the kind of
one we like. Then no,no, you know, the tone of
the podcasts going to be all cleanand lovely and everything else. For anybody
who's ever seen Daniel's stand up,it's as wild and as dark as mine.
So don't don't for a second thinkthat you may may not say you're

(05:56):
maybe anybody listens to my podcast doesn'tget offended. They're not the people.
I appreciate that I put it too, yeah, because I'm I'm kind of
having not an argument, but itseems to shock like radio people when I'm
on with them, because they allhave to know the notion that everybody's getting
insulted and everybody I I don't.I don't think anybody is. I like

(06:16):
if the number is so small thatit's almost insignificant. It's just very shouty
online because in the real world andcomedy clubs, like she you're gigging flat
out, like yeah, do yousee it? No? No, I
honestly whenever people like people always saystuff like, oh, I don't watch
comedy because you know, comedy isnot it's like to save these days.

(06:39):
But if you're going to a comedyclub, it's not. It's fine,
and to be fair, you testdefenses like you dude. Yeah, but
that's what I like about it becauseit has to be funny. If you're
gonna you're gonna try and be edgy, like you have to be funny,
otherwise you just look like a dickhead, you know, I think that's what
I'm find interesting about it. It'sthat like little tight rope. Well,
I mean, isn't that it?Like you can say anything can be said

(07:00):
because I have this argument too,you can say anything once it's funny.
That's it doesn't matter how dark itis or how weird it is, so
long as it's funny, so longas as somebody who knows what they're talking
about looks something goes, oh wait, that's really funny. Actually, there's
no argument that that's straight up funny. And I usually find them like a
bit of a fair judge as well, you know, the actual audiences,
because like you know, online peoplesay stuff to you, but if they

(07:21):
don't let you joke at a comedyclub, they have to go and say
to your face, like after theshow, well, by the same by
the same tone, by the sametoken. You can get your tires pumped
a bit too high, high tooby being online, because like the small
bit of stuff I put up andyou get people going amazing, You're like,
that wasn't that great? It wasall right, it was all right,

(07:42):
Like you should have seen me lastnight, you know what I mean,
actually coming to the show and you'dsee what the difference it is,
like, oh, man, yeah, I can tell you all about it.
The online people they're something else.That was when I knew you were
down to Cork, all right,But the first time I came across it
was the only funny German and itwas it was TikTok because even people had

(08:03):
messaged me going, oh, youneed to get the only funny German on
and at that stage I've already metyou and everything. I was like,
oh yeah, jeesus, for sure, yeah yeah, but forget your fucking
name. It was just the onlyfunny. You literally become your moniker.
He's the only forty German we havethat now tattooed on him one day,
who knows, who knows? It'snice, Monica. Though. It's good

(08:24):
motivation as well, you know,it means I have to try and be
good pressure so stupid. Yeah,it's good motivation. But because and what
was the like obviously you were doingstand up first, but you're just rather
than just putting up stand up clips, you went like it was great,
you did the the ones I firstsaw where the you know, the comparisons

(08:48):
back and forth between Ireland and German. Yeah, yeah, but I like
your your dad is utterly adorable.He's adorable, and you're throwing obscure wants
that him too, like shift,Like the poor man. He's doing great.
He's a star on his owner right, and I really think if he

(09:09):
was on social media he'd be doingvery well. That's the thing. Like
he's one of those hidden gems.He just he's just got chucking along with
it going. And he's so niceabout it too. When you're really like
another half a bastard returner, Igo, what the fuck are you on
about? Daniel? Would you shift? I answered your question? Would you?
And he's like, oh, that'snice to know, you know,

(09:31):
in a lovely way. Yeah,I did. That was all like a
lockdown project for me. Really.I started doing Lockdown. I did a
few videos just in my kitchen becauseI was bored, and they started doing
really well, so I kept makingmore. And then Lockdown ended and like
you know, the stage returned andstand up was back, so I kind
of started doing that a little moreafterwards. But yeah, it was just
lockdown really. It was nice.It was nice to have a little bit

(09:54):
of free time to do stuff.When did When did You Come over?
U? Nineteen? The end ofNovember twenty nineteen, and I did three
open mics and then locked on happened. Man, just three open mics and
like one book gig and then lockedon happened. I was fucked. It's

(10:16):
terrible fastest. Would you like youwould add decent English comman here or anyway?
Like? But you've gotten a niceCark accent now, which is great.
Yeah, a little bit of it. I am as I absorb the
accents. I don't know, orlike a chameleon. I just absorbed the
accents around me. I lived inIpswich before. In England, you have
that place. Yeah, it's aplace that I've only heard of and I

(10:39):
can't there's a place of no notein my mind? Is there anything I
should know about Ipswich as it's changednow, but about three to four years
ago it was the sexual crime capitalof England, so you need to know
about it. I just want tosay it hasn't dropped because I moved away.

(11:03):
Okay, that's not why it's It'snot why it's gone. I want
to I was just thinking, ifswitch are like God, thank fuck,
the predator is left. I don'tknow who he was, but he's left
anyway, thank God, Thank God, Cork. I'm just saying he moved

(11:24):
into your student area. I'm justsaying you should go sometime. Though.
It's an experience, I switch,it's a it's if y'all was like more
criminal. That's kind of like that, if y'all was like a bit more
you know, a bit more streets, y'all is Yeah, you know what
a bit of crime would help youall? Maybe maybe it would, do

(11:48):
you know what I mean, likethe sons of anarchy, just hold up
there for a while or something,just like it's a place. It shouldn't
be forgotten about, Like it's afine place, but it's it's it's in
that no man's land, do youknow what I mean? Isn't it's like
between Waterford and Cork, and itshould have been once upon a time maybe
it was exotic enough to go thatfar from either direction, but now it's

(12:09):
like, oh no, we allhave motorized vehicles. Now it's fine,
we won't we won't go there.I really, I really like y'all.
Man, y'all is a good goodplace to me. Spend a lot of
days there. A man could gethis thoughts together, and y'all, you
won't you won't be clouded by twotoo many outside noises and y'all that's what
that was literally it though, becausewhen the lockdown has happened, as I

(12:31):
said, was here like for avery short time, you know, so
I didn't really know anyone. AndI had one friend in comedy James,
you know James, Yeah, greatcomedian, and and he just I just
used to go up to y'all andlike stay at his place for like two
or three weeks, enjoy the sea, just relax and let's sort everything out.
Man. So beautiful, ipswich yousaid, right done? Which predators?

(12:54):
I'm out of here? How didwhat was it a job that brought
you to Cork or were you like, yeah, it was the Joe It
wasn't Joe Jump for Apple. Yes, you told me that that was an
interesting job that you had for Apple. It was, but it was mostly
like it was it a Apple TV. You you had to watch TV or
something I watched TV or a didquality control. It's that interesting. It's

(13:18):
very boring job. It sounds amazingthough, like in all fairness, because
you think Apple, you know whatI mean. You're in a factory a
bunch of other Asian kids, andnot suggesting you're an Asian kid, but
you know, you're putting little thingstogether and then they put those nets so
you can't jump off the building andyou bounce back in and you have to
keep on making them. But you'reactually at home watching Apple, Like do
you get to watch cool shows?And what do you No? No,

(13:39):
it's not cool. You watched likeDora the Explorable like a week straight.
It's not good, man, man, that'd bend your brain after a while,
though. Yeah. Yeah, itwas fine while we're on the office,
but then it started being from homeas well, so I just felt
like I was on this health scapefrom nine to five every day of watching
show this, TV shown Polish horriblewoman, it was horrible. What's what's

(14:03):
quality control? Like, what's what'sthe checklist? Or let's say an episode
of The Door, they explore whatare you looking for him? Stuff like
this, the sound being in sync, you know, the subtitles being in
sync, stuff like that. Okay, right, just so they know what
they're putting out isn't completely other work. But that's a job that's gonna be
taken by AI in like two years. It's fine to be honest, I'm

(14:26):
amazed it hasn't been already, becausethat sounds to me like two technical things
lining up insteady of a German whomost likely is getting drunk in the middle
of the day by himself in hispants. Like I'm just and I don't
want to be stereotype in you,but you know, if an Irish or
you are sitting there, you knowyou're both getting drunk in the mid of
the day watching Dora or getting bigGetting high would be the only way you

(14:46):
know to really get through that.You ever been up there on the to
the Apple campus and walk like itis? It must be twelve thirteen years
ago. I was up here nearit, and I just it just seems
huge. Yeah, it's with aweird place, obscure place to put it.
Like when all the other companies kindof found these big green pastures out

(15:07):
in little Island and dring is Skiddyand all the rest of it. This
place, when nah, we're gonnaslap it right up in, Knockingheenian on
our side and take up what littlegreen pasture you people might have. We're
going to put a big fucking brickbuilding in it and make phones our computers
or something. It's like a littleparallel universe. And then man, I
remember that a mini October fest inthere while I worked. We're like all

(15:31):
the Germans who worked in the companywere invited to meet in a room.
We all had like one beer together, and then back to work and real,
that's just October. That's not afest. That's just October. That's
not because they yeah, gohead,Sorry, Now what other job do you
have. Imagine if you had ajob and someone was like, hey,

(15:54):
step away there, drink a beerwith your colleagues and go back. That's
insane. Hey what why would youdo to your colleagues, Like what Because
somebody wrote that in in HR thiswould be good for the German lads.
I think that is for the GermanLEDs one beer? Why would you give
German lads one beer? Like doyou know what I mean? You could

(16:15):
you could take more than one,like little paper cups. The cheeky boys
could have taken like two or three. And you know, no one we've
noticed. It's like shown an ipswitchpredator, like a nip one nipper,
you know what I mean, it'sgonna go He's gonna want to go to
town after that. This is thefirst time I've ever I've ever talked about

(16:38):
Ipswich in any sort of a way, and I'm very happy it's in this
this way. Do you know whatI were dumping all the German iris stuff.
We're just going to dedicate the restof the podcast Ipswitch and the predators
they're in. Man, you canyou can go down the rabbit hole at
some point. It's a it's along longer history. The UK is a

(17:00):
weird place like it for not avery huge landmass, they have such like
it's the only time and a halfthe size of Ireland people go out.
Like when you meet English people,they think it goes on and on like
America. You're like, no,dude, you're really fucking small, just
like us. Like I put thevariance of these mad pockets of absolute shit
holes that you drive by, likethat's that's a that's an absolute drive by

(17:25):
city. I don't want anything todo with what I'm seeing right now.
That is dreadful looking in there,Like, yeah, it's horrible, it's
horrible. They're handful of nice bitslike the cot To walls in the Lake
District for really wealthy white people.That's it. Everything else and it's sharing.
Yeah, there. Yeah, exactly, it's sheering. He's faces everywhere

(17:45):
in there. Man, he's likethe supreme leader hip Switch. His face
is all over the place. That'sright. Yeah, he's a museum where
you can go see see his likechildhood bedroom and stuff. Very weird,
what like they made a replica ofhis bedroom somewhere. Yeah, and Epswitch
didn't go see it from what agegroup was his bedroom Because I'm trying to

(18:08):
picture what if somebody went to lookat my foking bedroom from when I was
like fourteen or fifteen, and ifyou went to authentic trust because actually things
are weird because the guy's still aliveand he's like relatively young as well.
You know, this is what theydo for people dead for two hundred years.
It was crazy. Yeah, youdon't want to see actual posters of

(18:30):
players that are still playing on thewall, like jeezy socks on the floor.
Okay, well we're all authentic fairenough. Fine fits in fits in?
Actually an Ipswitch, guys, thisfits in. This is this is
part of the narrative around here.Actually a bit filthy. I know,
Yeah, I'd forgotten he was Ipswitchwhat yeah, christ above, but they're

(18:52):
going back because I was always interestedto ask people who have you know,
had viral, had gone viral andon different different platforms, and you were
saying, like the kickback can begood or bad, but like, what's
like you get people that I oneand only some will do like ten fifteen,
twenty thousand views, And I don'tknow, I don't understand TikTok at

(19:14):
all? And how it because Icould literally put up an identical thing and
it would do seven hundred, onewill do twenty thousand. Do you know
what I mean? Relatively but one? And it's I guess it's a nation's
thing. One way. I rememberone of the four times I was ever
on TikTok and it was I wouldoh, something I found out today was
that Polish people don't have a wordfor toes. They call them fingers of

(19:36):
your feet. That was it.That was it said, no more,
all, my sweet Jesus Christ,like seven hundred comments, half a million
views, like this doesn't how thisis the least creative thing I've ever done
in my life? Why why doyou like this? But obviously it was
people going, yeah, well it'syou that's wrong with the fuck. I'm

(19:57):
like, Jesus Christ, Jesus Christsteady on? Okay, was have they
have the attention? They have likeno attention to spend on TikTok TikTok is
like no attentions. But I'm withyou at all. Yeah, in fairness
that that entire thing was over inlike seven seconds, that makes sense.
Okay, it's quake and it's stupidand you can immediately understand the concept.

(20:18):
That's what they're like as soon asyou have to think a little bit.
You just doesn't cut in the TikTok. But Jesus Christ, that yeah,
something for humanity. Isn't it thebiggest social media in the planet. Well,
Tom, if it takes anything fortheir brain to work at all,
shout out to my followers. You'redifferent, you're smart, You're different.

(20:40):
You're not But they going back thenwhat parts of Germany? Because I know
you told me, but it wasn'tbecause you're rural more than anything, are
you? Yeah, I'm super I'mfrom the bag Man's two. Yeah,
it's time even a village or isit out the country? Like are you
farm people? It is that itis the sort of village that was like

(21:04):
three farms. Okay, let's saylike four generations ago and now it's kind
of become a village, right right, right right, But like everyone is
related, everyone knows each other.My my neighbors are like an aunt that
lifts across the road and uncle thatlifts next door. Like the fall,
it's all just families and stuff.You know. Literally, you were just
sent out as an envoy to breedout. Is that what you're telling me

(21:26):
that I knew blow and bring itback? Then? Nah? They don't.
They didn't want me to go.Man, Yeah, that was gonna
be the next question, because Imean, a community like that doesn't want
the boy to go, like youknow what I mean, fresh faced lad,
not at all, not at alldid no, no, no no.
My mother's only just only only justrecently started being kind of okay with
it. But it's mostly the standup because as soon as I did,

(21:48):
like as soon as I had onepicture, I was on stage in front
of like four people, my motherwas like, he's just stop. They
immediately sold it by yeah okay,yeahs like oh my god. People actually
liked to listen to him. Tobe fair, like taking a selfie of

(22:10):
you watching Door the Explorer and yourpants probably wouldn't sell it to your mother
too hard either though. I meanto be fair, if you are going
to move away from a nice environmentlike that, you've got to go do
something cool, like I never understand. Like of one friend and he's in
he is in Germany now he doeslove it because he he's in Munich and
he likes order the same guy alwaysliked Order, and he likes the order

(22:32):
of Munich in the way he is, do you know what I mean?
He's in sync better with Munich thanhe was in Dublin. But he's literally
doing the same thing that he wasdoing in Dublin. I'm like, would
you if you were going to go, what's not like you love race race
cars. They're really into him overthere? Would you not go? He's
like, no, no, no, it's just fine to do this over

(22:52):
here. If you're gonna go somewhere, like breaking your mother heart somewhere,
make it, make it work whileyou know it's going somewhere, just to
do the same thing for the samemoney. That's very true that you don't
really like, you know, Iwas just I was just i'd say,
kind of under under stimulated there.You know, it's just not enough going
on. That's yeah, of course, that's the big thing, like,

(23:17):
what's what's the option in what's thename of your village Bockhost if anyone wants
to look it up burst Bockhost.Yeah, there's almost there's a there's kind
of a South African sound to thatthough, isn't there. Yeah, yeah,
it's the same phonetic route South Africanbecause the Dutch colonial Yeah yeah,

(23:37):
that makes perfect sense. Why Ilive is actually right on the Dutch border.
So the German there's like a certainGerman accent that people speak what I
live. Yeah, they speak nowhereelse in Germany, and it's a mix
between German and Dutch. I can'tunderstand it really really sounding a little bit,
only a little bit. I justgotten much worse than they moved away.
I know they only up the roadthe what like the Dutch Netherlands.

(24:00):
When that that accent that you weretalking about, Like even John literally my
parents speak like that to each other. You're like, I haven't understood a
word in years. Let's it'd belike, you know, the very like
extreme carry accidents like that. I'dsay, yeah, yeah, so your
proper culture so right, right tobe fair, since I moved back here,

(24:22):
it was only I was talking withouta guy today, and he started
to talk about how like the rainactually fucking I don't know, it broke
some fucking roof on some shade belongedto him. I think that's what he
was saying to me. Man.It was like, I mean, you
grew like I grew up five kilometersfrom you, and I'm really struggling here.
Yeah, you could be French rightnow. You could actually be French.

(24:48):
You're speaking. That's how far offI am. I picked up a
shade roof and all the right itgo like you don't really like you don't,
you don't think about it so much. But it was only a remember
like an Ireland. We love totalk about her accents and how variance the
aperture. Of course in the homogenizedcountry like you know Australia, they all
sound the same like, but youget an old they do like they do.

(25:12):
Even Australians will tell you like theremight be a bit of a twine
when you got into Sydney, andthen there might be a bit of a
higher up bit. And what Iwas tope about beat Hill is that in
Alice Springs they spoke with the mathreally closed. That's it. That's the
variance of the entire continent of Australia. And they only speak like that because
from generations of living in a placethat's got lots of mosquitoes and flies,

(25:33):
you actually keep your mouth closed reallytight. And that's how they speak,
because that's it a fucking like twentythousand kilometers wide or whoever wide this thing
is, that's how the variant went. It's it right, fuck, that's
what it's. When somebody was talkingabout somebody was recently talking about Arnold Schwarzenegger
when he was struggling to for anysort of work when in Austria or Germany.

(25:57):
So because he sounded he's a bigcountry, reaction up on him and
they were like, no, youdo not have a posh dialect to be
on any sort of you know,you're like, you're a big fucking culchi.
And nobody thinks of Arnie as beinga big old fucking culchi. Like
but of course it's there. Thereis more farm landed everywhere, yeah,

(26:18):
everywhere where, everywhere. Man wasthere not a temptation to move somewhere in
Germany like head down to Berlin whereall the do you know, all the
uber liberally people are maybe eventually,I really like speaking Englishman I preferred.
I think. Yeah, that's interesting, isn't it. Yeah, I just

(26:40):
kind of enjoyed living life speaking andI'm just simpler. German is a bit
too. You need to see yourbrain too much. Was speaking? It
just TikTok. I'm back around again, isn't it? Thats me? Thank
god, damn it? Grown upnow to understand your parents too. Probably
probably didn't help understood them growing up. I don't really understand it that well

(27:03):
anymore. Stop them understood them goingup. I'm trying to think. I
can't even think of a sentence inthe dialect now because completely frightened now and
then yeah you so, yeah,because I remember talking with them, Michael
Rice and I mentioned it to you, the variants and cities in Germany,
like because you think of German citiesas it seems to be portrayed, or

(27:26):
I mean, we all have stereotypeslike but of course it seems to be
portrayed in Germany that you know,everything's orderly and everything, but for some
reason Berlin seems to be while it'sorderly, no doubt, there seems to
be an uber like ludicrous lever ofof you know, liberalism. Like Michael
Rice was saying, he just hewasn't ready for it, like and he'd
been living in London, but hewas like this was too much, Like

(27:48):
people were just wanting to have sexwith you in the street. It was
just just what's wrong with that?He didn't with that. I think he
just now you think your country that'sa very country man, very countryman.
That's a big jump. That's abig jump from fucking rural Kenny being molested
by some woman in a park inBerlin. I spend time in ipswitch man,

(28:15):
what's wrong with that? It wasactually you in Berlin that molested Michael,
wasn't it. I guess. Iguess I guess it would be.
But I think I think Berlin workspretty well as a city, to be
honest. I think people who wholike live in Berlin and whine about a

(28:41):
certain things that a little privileged,you know, like that city works pretty
well. Like life, there's comfortable. The rent isn't as crazy as fucking
Dublin, for example. You know, I don't think any places the craziest
Dublin right now that's gone on,it's like, yeah, that's insane,
insane, It's Cork is bad.Yeah, Cork's pretty bad too, to
be honest, is it. Yeah, I'm pretty vileged. I have a

(29:03):
little shoe box to myself, whichis nice. That's yeah, you're one
of the lucky ones, because Ican only imagine I was somebody. Somebody's
talking to my wife recently. Theywere our brother had moved back, and
he moved back and it was toDublin and the only thing he could get
was a house sharing. This guywas like, close to forty. You
don't how to be sharing at forty. You don't want to be moving in

(29:26):
with people that, you know whatI mean? You can't. Oh yeah,
that's rough. It was like hehadn't taken that into consideration, and
it was oh man, he wasthinking, Jesus Christ, I can't be
doing a little dealing this Like we'regonna have to take time with the showers,
gonna have to write on our milk. Fuck yeah, okay, yeah,
yeah, jeez. It is alwaysshocking that that sort of stuff,

(29:47):
man, especially seeing an island nowwhere it's so much worse. Like I
thought was bad in England, it'sso much worse here, of course.
Yeah. Yeah, it's it's Idon't know what it is driving it.
I guess there is employment or whatever, but you'd assume, I mean,
yeah, they're keeping the market back. But when I saw if they called
it the studio, no, they'vegiven it. They're given it a fancier
names. It was a fucking studioapartment. But now they had to give

(30:10):
him their due for what it was. It was done to a very high
standard. Well bad and curtains,that's it. The kitchenette, very high
standard kitchenette. But like they wantedfour nearly four and a half thousand a
month for it. Oh my god, yeah, yeah, yeah, crazy.
You'd like you'd stay in a hotelfrom where it's just live in a

(30:34):
hotel, like fucking I commute backand forth from Germany instead of would you
would flies as christ Richard Harris livedin the Ritz for the last time seven
or eight years of his life,and it was like, oh yeah,
it was central London. Of coursehe did genius, genius, like you
gotta you gotta yearly rate grand.But yeah, another side, I was

(31:00):
gonna bring up something else I wantedI want to know, because every time
you come up with up, it'sa conzinger of some sort, like whether
no, No, I just Iwanted to thank you because I listen to
the episode with them with Kia,and it was very nice to you guys
talks to positively about corking the scene. Yea, you know it's it was
you know what I was getting.Yeah, I was getting. I was
going to get around to it,but it was you're right, it's it's

(31:22):
sold the rug there and this isn'tthis isn't your show down, but you
know what I mean, whatever,it comes naturally, and you're right,
you're right to throw it in whenever, whenever it was in your head and
you had to say thank you,which is a very nice thing today.
But it was it wasn't meant.It wasn't a fucking compliment on purples,
right, it was because Irish peoplecan't do well with thank you. Was

(31:44):
Oh Jesus Christ, I'm struggling withthis. Um No, it was exactly.
It was truthful to the court becauseas you know, every time I
come down, I fucking love comedylike I love love this shit like I
would do it anywhere. I genuinelywould do it as an escape. I've
damn near probably have done it anescape of some sort in different places like
but it was it was so heartwarming. It's the right word. When I

(32:10):
started to see what you were doingafter lockdown, it's like, oh,
this is fucking the right thing tobe doing. This is because you see,
I was so it wasn't jealous,but I didn't have the where it
all who recreated myself to see whatthe boys were doing in Belfast and how
it was growing for them, andit was like this fucking now they have.
I mean, those boys have literallyfly paper on their souls. People

(32:32):
are just stuck to them. I'venever seen anything. There is no place
like it in the world. There'sit can't be any place like in the
world where these lads are just fillingtheaters that would blow your fucking mind,
the size of these theaters. Andit's I mean, Colin Gettis was at
the forefront of it all, youknow what I mean. He sketches and
then he you know, stand upand in his own club. But people,

(32:57):
and I genuinely think it's in aplace like that. I think for
years and years, generationally you wereon one side or you were on the
other, and you were staunchly Nowsome people were impartial, but you were
forced to kind of be on oneside of the other and now that that's
all dissolving, I think genetically whengenetics is probably the wrong world. But
maybe, as you know, asociology expert could could clarify it for me.

(33:22):
But they have something in them thatwants to support, something wants to
support, and when they buy JesusChrist, when they do, like I
did my show their last year inBelfast and it sold out. It was
the first one to sell out onthe door in fucking Belfast, the furthest
the way place like. But becauseof my going up there for years,

(33:42):
they were like, yeah, here'sour guy. Yeah, And there was
no there was no there was noalmost that you could have a neighbor.
I could have a neighbor living nextdoor to me here my biggest fan.
They wouldn't tell you, do youknow? They keep it to themselves up
there. They're buying your They're buyingT shirts with your face on it.
It's like, you know, it'sunashamed fan boy like, like un ashamed

(34:04):
fan boy like it. It's amazingto see it. So I was kind
of I was just the scene wasso healthy, but on a reddicul like
you couldn't recreate the people. Youcan't recreate people. But the vibe was
very good in that they were theywere all punching very hard at the clubs,
you know what I mean, theywere all getting there when they could
and all the rest of them thereseemed to be a real enthusiasm for I
was like, there's no place Dublinwas is. It's splintered, you know

(34:28):
what I mean, it's all it'slone wolfs like because that's just the way
the city is, and it justisn't isn't rolling like that. But when
I saw what you were doing theCoco, I was like, look at
the enthusiasm from even young comics inhere, Like there was you know what
I mean, there buzzing from theget goal they want to be at laying
out chairs. Of course you do, course yeah, because that's that's exactly

(34:50):
what you want to be doing.Like well, you know what I mean,
if you love the like yeah,five a side soccer, you'd be
in with the cones putting them outtoo, Like you know, you should
be not rocking up and going welland then just do your ship and folk
off. You're like all right,yeah, okay, fair enough, But
like you see it. There arenine times out of ten the entire lineup
will wait and watch the headliner.Do you know what I mean? Chat
afterwards? It like this is whata comedy club it is supposed to be

(35:14):
about. Yes, the audience,but the comics should be all having a
good buzz too, Like yeah,absolutely, man, but you're diff did
you consciously think that's why we wantto develop? You know what? I
mean? Yourself and Con I'd sayso, yeah, I mean we're both
I'd say we're both fairly some peoplelike we don't tend to, you know,

(35:35):
have any grudges or ever. Ihave, like not not just talk
about issues, you know, likeyou're supposed to, which is I think
that's why a lot of the Splintonhas comes from people don't really open.
But even you can get two soundleads together, but it just, I
don't know, for one reason oranother, it just seems to fucking just
flit her away. But you seemto be going from strength to strength,
like, oh, thank you appreciate. I think it's I mean, you

(35:58):
know Con very well. I don'tknow, but he's the fucking loveliest.
He's so easy to work with umand that really it makes so much easier.
Yeah, I don't know. Ihave never had a working relationship with
there's a little drama before, youknow. So it works very well when
you consider it like it's it's actuallythe comedy world and no drama. Like
yeah, any in any circumstances ofall people hate each other, Like anytime

(36:22):
people work together, then I'm hatingeach other. Everybody despises each other.
It doesn't matter what's seeing you init's always the same. Yeah, I
mean, it's just lucky that youfound each other. But you know what,
that pours over into the audience too, because even that night like swelter
and hot didn't make a difference.Everybody was in there, they were on
the buzz like and there was nothingon the wall. It's not like you've
a big fucking sign on the wallsaying be laughing now you know what I

(36:45):
mean. There's you don't have tofuck have like you see it in some
of the American clubs been to andstuff and christ Above it's Dan Near telling
you you know it's it's there's there'sit's almost too late on what's happening next,
you know where it's like, yeah, there seems to be an acceptance
said, Oh, we're all sittingin the right direction. That's good enough.

(37:06):
Let's see what happens. And buteverybody seems to be in tune with
the fact that, oh, no, this I already know this is going
to be good. Do you knowthere's no sucking their teeth going? But
I don't know about that, Likeyou know, I get you, I
get you. I think that's important. I think the whole experiences start to
finish. It's important, you know, one moment you kind of step into
the room to the moment you walkout satisfied. I think the whole part

(37:29):
is very It's good to have everto have like a little system for everything
I think, and it works reallywell helping everything I've ever worked in any
former hospitality, because you can seeby the two of ye're actually greeting people
correctly when they come in, andit's ill you batten and switch for hold

(37:51):
your duct tape, this many otherdrinks. But I swear to God because
my wife years ago, she usedto run run nightclubs and stuff in the
UK, and she was like,she does kind of front a house in
the hill and it's not that theowners are kind of going I'm sure,

(38:13):
if you want to throw one ofthe leads up there. I was like,
no, no, you trust me. Watch you see the way she
greets people the same way you do, like smile front of house. People
are already going, oh, we'regoing to a show. Do you know
what I mean? This doesn't feellike I'm you know, like you go
to the cinema and you see somelong faced, fucking teenage or just stomp
in your hand or stomp on yourticket. SAME's very It's not that you

(38:35):
need it, but it's nice.It does something subconscious to you as a
customer, doesn't it lie No,absolutely, I think it's very, very,
very important. But yeah, Iwas just I think that's probably where
it's from. But even then,I just like smiling people first time I
meet them. Anyways, it's like, you know, it's the first impression
of you. Why would you lookgrumpy? What's you say that? But

(38:58):
you know what I'm talking about,You know what, I know what you're
talking I know exactly what I think. That's people in the part of their
life when I just couldn't give afuck with anybody thinks, oh we've met
you at that, I met youat the turn I see Okay, okay,
I understand Jannis, no problem.I'll find my own seat, thank
you very much. Yeah, theredoesn't seem to be Christ. Yeah,

(39:22):
it was funny. It was intwo different two different experiences of a coffee
shop. At local coffee shop hereand it is they have very very nice
coffee, very nice bits and pieces. But I brought wife and the kid
in there yesterday, and i'd beenin there, I was like, oh,
they're lovely. They're so nice,like the girl, the guy and
the girl the last they couldn't doenough. They were just so polite in

(39:42):
the light when we came in,or I went in and got the coffee
the last time, and I walkedin. This woman she was just fucking
done with us the second we walkedin. She wasn't even it wasn't particularly
rude. There was just nothing inher. She was like oh, She's
like yeah, okay, Jesus Christ, Like, ah, would you ever

(40:04):
would you ever complain to uh whenyou have like a a coffee shop or
a bow or something when they messup your order? Oh? Yeah,
yeah yeah, would would you complain? It's I know, it's apparently very
un irish and my wife has gottenover all those that embarrassment. But I
do like there'll be a lot ofI will I take pride in crafting it

(40:25):
well enough that I'm not going fuckwas that? Do you know what I
mean? That's very good. Yeah, I'll try. I look well,
y'all have a raft days. Iget it. I think it's a I
talked to I talked to Color aboutthis. Sometimes. I think it's a
generational thing because like every time Ihang up with people who are my age,
are younger. No, if there'sa lot of wrong the once as

(40:45):
the world, oh no, LikeI think it's a general thing the world
over, to be honestly, Likemost of my friends wouldn't. They just
wouldn't, like you know, likeI know my father would. But he's
he has no tact I mean,and he's not even trying to be rude,
but my god, that man hasHe's like a child with a chainsaw,

(41:06):
like he just you'll try to saythe correct thing and going do you
know what. I just wanted tosay that maybe perhaps the beef was a
little cold, but he what wouldcome out of his mouth was fuck me
my face, damn near stuck tothe thing with the fucking fright freason.
You know, like you could havecome at that a bit a bit more

(41:27):
subtle, and he like toned itdown a bit, and you're like,
no, you didn't at all,didn't. But there's I think there's ways
that coming about that, and youcan kind of guess if it's it's probably
not the fucking waiters for But Ihave, I've I've pulled people up on
being rude, ash like rude asfuck, like I don't care. I
remember being in Lesster one time,stay in the hotel and the woman had

(41:47):
a fucking black eye, do youknow what I mean? She she was
rough as hell, she's dunk acigarettes that was serving my breakfast in this
hotel. But she was a sweetheart, as good as you could be.
And I had no problem. Iwas like, she's doing the best she
can and it looks like she's hada rough one. So I'm just gonna,
you know, I'm gonna give herfive stars a course, yeah,

(42:08):
fucking take that. Five stars.That were breaking was a bit rough,
but service was top of the pops. I didn't want to look directly at
her, but top of the pops, right, But you you know what
I mean, you go to you'vegot to and somebody's and I've pulled.
I had to a couple of times. You could just getting fucking slopped down
this thing in front of you.I think, I think in this day
and age and shit costs so muchfucking money. It's warm. I think

(42:30):
it's worth it's worths full at somestage pulling them on it. Like I
guess, it depends how egregious itis as well. I think if it
was something really ridiculous, so Imight, I might say something. I
think again, you can you cannearly put it back in their hands a
small but make them not embarrassed,but kind of catch him a little,

(42:51):
because sometimes people can go in Ithinking they can fall between the cracks of
the day and just kind of gojust on to the expert. And it
was a dude. Man, he'sbeen rude for ever and it's another coffee
shop. But the guy's just hetakes rudeness to another level. And you
just know the guys he's. Thevibe he gives you is that he's too
good to be in the place,like daddy owns, like he was just

(43:13):
Yeah, I went and I couldn't. It just came out of what the
fuck you mean, yeah, thisis the next step. Is you want
me to hand your money for Yeah? You can see you can see the
other staff looking at when man,how do you how do you ask somebody
what they want? But yeah,seriously, I was I was probably one

(43:35):
that was probably once some pretty shittycustomer service team. I would be surprised
it. I wouldn't be surprised,but I did. I didn't know,
with a smile on my face,kind of gone catch yourself on at least
say next, or why can Iget you? Yeah? Yeah, fuck
you here? Yeah? Off,you want three seventy for a tiny coffee?

(44:00):
Yeah? Okay, you got topolish my balls? Small one feeling
special? Jesus Christ, did youtip him? I did you? But
it's I don't I do. Itell you an interesting, an interesting Limerick

(44:22):
I found has very good customer service. Really yeah, yeah, a general
case. Yeah, because we werelike we were living in Dublin for years,
and you know, people are frozenout to you, like any piece
city. You know, you're justwho's next, Who's next, Who's next?

(44:42):
And we went or taking my wifefrom Valentine's, we went, we
were we were going out of thetime to Limerick. But it was something
we just wanted to say weekend awaywhatever, but it was it was something
we both noticed were like, JesusChrist, people actually acknowledge your or a
human behind and you could immediately itdamned your change to taste of the food.

(45:06):
You're like, this is Christ.This is an actual restaurant you're in,
or an actual coffee shop or asalad bar or whatever you're in,
rather than just but the same thinggoes. Then is in the simplest form
to set people down the right pathwith comedy, because even you're just even
walking to your seat, it's notlike because we all know there's a couple
of clubs out there where things canget weird. Yeah you know what I

(45:32):
mean, I know this. Imean simple costal service is so easy,
you know. And I think especiallyfor a comedy show where it's a product
I like, you know, Ihate colleague a product, but they're buying
into something I really believe into,you know, so that's easy for me
to sell them and be like,hey, here's a great show. You
enjoy this. Yeah yeah, yeah, but that's a yeah, that's found
the point you put you think,just for the just for that hour,

(45:55):
you think you could lie to yourselfat least, like you know, for
some of these people like light yourself, you're enjoying this moment, Jesus Christ,
there'll be a little light that tellsyou when to laugh, and that's
when you laugh. Do you knowthat's that is the thing in Asia in
China you were saying earlier. Thatblows my mind. Yeah, they genuinely

(46:16):
have fucking laughing up. But theyactually have sound effects. So say you
you drop, you drop a lot, like you hit the punchline or you
hit a funny spot in the middle. They'd be like a thread to God
and they're all to go like,oh, they're way ahead, the way
ahead of us. Man, that'scrazy, that's so ahead of us.

(46:38):
Yeah, but they've gone over theage into absolutely fucking having to tell you
how to have a personality, becausethat's going to do nothing but breath maniacs.
Like if people end up being thatdevoid of humanity, like you're gonna
breathe nothing maniacs, Like, youknow, we'll leave the light out.
I like the sound effects, though, yeah, I think like the idea,

(47:00):
like the obscurity of having a soundeffector just or because sometimes lads can
take it too far. You're goingto Jesus Christ. You brought an entire
band system up with you. ButI do like the idea, the silliness
of something out of the blue,Like do you remember, like you remember
Death Chamming, Like you wouldn't neitherone of us remember because it was in
the fucking eighties and nineties, Like, but it was the Death Champ comedy.

(47:22):
You know that, you know,you know that you'll see the clips
of it everywhere. But do youever see that legendary Bernie mac One when
he was a young Bernie mac He'slike, I ain't scared you motherfuckers.
You ever see that one? Though? He doesn't even look like Bernie Mack
because he's so young. But andhe's not in a suit or anything,
and he's wearing like glasses, andhe's got this he's got these ridiculous pair

(47:42):
of jeans that like in the earlynineties, you could have like somebody's face
painted on a pair of jeans,you know what I mean? Like,
yeah, but he's just standing andin DJ he he was just coming out
with this crazy Bernie Mack shit,like talking about the size of his dac
and stuff. It's my ship isso big. If I pull it out,
this whole fucking room goes dark,and the place they're all gone crazy.

(48:05):
Right. But when it hid aline like that, there was a
DJ at the back of the roomand he go, DJ, hit that
fucking shit, and your manag justplay like for ten seconds, some fucking
banging tune and he just he fadedout again. He just into the next
bit. I love that. Therewas no segue. It was just like
I've done now fucking play some musicto fucking keep these animals going, and
then he just head into the nextbit and his line after every time the

(48:29):
music would finish, he goes,I had scared you, motherfucker's and the
place would just go buck fucking why. It's the most It's one of the
most purest forms of stand up I'veever seen, because it's so fucking wild
and visceral, and this man isYeah, he's got a DJ on board
to tell him that the joke isended, and the segue him on into
the next one. And it's abit like Rodney danger Fields with the with

(48:55):
the big band. Yeah, that'sa similar want to yeah, yeah,
yeah, I love I love theidea that just why not push all the
limits of it to see where wecan go with it? Like absolutely,
absolutely we should, Yeah, weshould, we should. I've remember talking
with someone before what they used todo before. It's like a full cabaret

(49:15):
show, you know what I mean. Like, so to be you'd have
dinner, you'd have people for thenight, So to be a full show
to the music, dancing, andcomedy, just to see what way it
would go, like I mean,I don't know, would you have to
build a culture of it or whatever, like, but it could. I
think it could work. No,that would be really fun, man,
that would be really really fun.They do. They do some of them

(49:37):
on go Away sometimes, I thinkwith the Dow cabaret show with comedy in
it. Yeah, they do.Yeah. I've kind of come across one
or two where yeah, you couldkind of you'd see it. They're mixing
it a bit. But I likethe idea of a whole like everybody put
on your glad rags. That's all, you know, Yeah, you know,
that's all you know what I mean? Does just do a mat of
shit we can think of? Let'sgo yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,

(50:00):
great, lock the fucking doors.We're having a good time, like this
is the doors, lock the fuckingdoors. I love the notion of them,
which he've now pushed out to fourshows a week now, I think
so. I think it's five,actually is it. I think it's four
days a week. Yeah, butthere's two on a Saturday as well,
so I think it's five. That'stremendous. That is tremendous. It's really

(50:23):
nice. It feels really good.That's like and then con it starts like
you're clearly people are picking up onit because con everything often them would message
me with this obscure geek out therelike in Blarney or something or some other
place. I'm like, Jesus Christ, you haven't enough going on with your
your club. Clearly people are.Clearly people are like, they're I'm doing.

(50:46):
I think I'm doing. I'm downwith you. I'm doing like a
very very early show in Blarney andthen I'm going in to you inside in
town. It's like Jesus Christ,right, okay, oh yeah, yeah,
I do. The podcast, isn'tit? No? This is I
don't think this is even a podcast. Maybe it is. No, it's
not because the podcasting is the podcastum Festival in August. Yeah, I

(51:07):
think that's the honest thinking of Yeah, yeah, it's just crazy. That's
entirely different thing. They're in likethree different capacities, fucking and now you
are you run the live podcast thereas well, just to keep the room.
The fucking rounding was lowy. Theyare very nice to us, and

(51:29):
it's just trying to build something,you know, trying to build something unique
at the current owner of the placesvery behind it. So it's just nice.
It's good. But I love thatbecause I remember going up there like
early doors and like earlier in theday there would have been like or over
the previous night there was like youknow art, you know, does an
art gallery or something. You're kindof going, oh, now it becomes

(51:50):
a comedy globe. Right now theremust be going, yeah that art gallery.
Shit, nobody's drinking, get thebust. I think that's the comedy
shows are great for Boss as well. Like people are going to comedy are
usually you know, filthy alcoholics.It always wakes up, Oh the ghost
will be like at a ridiculous yeah, even even I know, like the

(52:14):

That's all I saw was people havea good crack, like you, people
messing people to putting up clips ofstand up fellows, running into walls and

(59:36):
stuff hurting themselves. It's like,this is a great social media platform.
And then like a week later,it was like, oh, so would
you like to tell us about yourthe fact that you're a straight white male.
Well, we'd like to show youeverything we believe that you'd like to
see. Here are all the angry, fucking straight white males in the world
shouting at the cameras like oh God, I can't king and just shouting fucking

(01:00:00):
from his bugatti. A man,I've been on the internet as long as
I can remember. This ship isalways the same. It's always the same
shit. It's every new app,so it's the exact same thing it does.
It all spins the same fucking way. Eventually, it's like, oh,

airport. I carried him to theairport, set mother crying. They picked
him off with a little knapsacks,saying he's the only funny one of all
of us, and all the humorleft Germany when you left. Obviously,
um, it's that. I knowit brings back sad memories for you,

(01:01:07):

humor has left. There's no there'sno funniness left in Germany anymore. Unfortunately,
unfortunately that seems to me. Don'tmake oh my German follows hate me
though, you're gonna send me deathrights after this. To be fair,
any Germans I ever worked with,or ever hung out with, they were

(01:01:28):
the maddest buckers I ever. Theywere on a level of Oh, I
don't know where you got any kindof or either that you're fighting that stereotype
really hard because you're doing a greatjobman. I think I think that's it,
