All right. Hello, everybody, and welcome to...
What is this?
What is this?
No, you guys lead. It's your podcast, basically.
We're in your house.
Yeah, we've broken in like some ruffians.
Yeah, I'll explain to Kevin, we're doing a swapcast.
Yeah, I don't really know. What does that mean?
First of all, could you explain what is a podcast?
Because I'm still in the dark.
Brian doesn't let me know.
Well, we did a gig in Kenney last week.
We had to explain it to the crowd who are coming to see us.
How is that actually?
The live show.
Yeah.
And Routy, but great crack.
Very different than the one we did with him.
hysteria down in Chenay.
I couldn't think
of a more different
group of people
like...
I loved it though.
I got off
at the first half
and I was like
rubbing my hands
together being like
this is class
and you and Mike
were like
we need to fucking settle
everybody
in Kilkenny
where was that
exactly what was the venue
Ryan's Bar
is that what you used to run
yeah yeah
they said on the wall
they got those
the girls with cleavage
not anymore
I think that was
a topless Bob Dylan
but a modern day
Bob Dylan
those are pictures
of David Bowie
over the wall
with a couple of buttons
on
done.
Ryan's
changed.
Yes.
You play Marother
for that,
getting notions.
Used to be
a picture of
Christy Moore
no.
Topless?
Back when it was
a man's bar.
I did see him
in Carlo a few
weeks ago and
he's gotten
so old that he
like instead of
shouting at people
now to not
sing along,
he doesn't have
the energy for that
but he does
stop everyone
in the middle of
the gig and go
so my doctor's
been telling me
I'm sitting down
for an hour
and a half
and one goes too much
so I'm going
to
get up now, but he can't, like, hold
the guitar on his back. So he just
just belts out a ballad. What age is he?
A cappella, 76. Okay. Yeah, so
he just goes up and sings on his own.
But, like, hard living, 76.
Is he hard living? I think he's the opposite. Not anymore.
Not anymore, but back in the day.
Oh, yeah, obviously, but that was like,
back the day he was
a hard of living. Yeah, but he was
like, there was, like, his picture was
up in several pubs and hotels
around the country, do not serve
this man. It's like, he'd go
missing for, like, three days on the
his.
Christy,
just one more.
But that was
like the 70s
wasn't it?
So you imagine
how hard
you have to be going
in the 70s
people would be like
you've got a problem
in Ireland
in the 70s
we were like
jizz that man's
fun
like you're literally
just drinking concrete
he probably
convinced the bar
staff to be like
it says
you're not to
serve you
Mr. Morris
that means
you can't charge
me now fucking
put it on the table
I'll have your head
but no
we should do
an introduction
to this podcast
yeah we started
to do an introduction
and just
went on a rant
well it's a
swap gas
so it's going out
on boat platform. It's going on, it's going out
on, it's going out on, we have to say the name
anyway. Brian and James, fuck each other.
I'm sick of being, like, I'm sick of having to hide it.
Fuck the asteris. That's who we are.
No more asteris. No more asterisk. No, F, star, star.
Currently, the internet can't entertain
the idea of two men
fictionally fucking one another.
No, there's no fictional fucking, yes.
If I'm still watching,
hypothetical penetration. When we do a live show, actually, I think it'd be
quite funny if you're like spit in my mouth or something like that
and each lot and so we do the whole live
show you spit in my mouth and it's like next time guys
and we work a way up and then eventually
we get to like the the tree arena
now and then it's like full on
and no one likes it
it's kind of like you know black mirror when he fucks that pig
yes
everyone loved that that was the best episode
when you're talking about it I was going to say it's like you
saying bold breaking the world record
yes because you get paid every time you do it
so he never went like he never shattered it
because he was like, well, if I will, I'll never beat that.
So I just want to beat it by like one tenth of a second every time.
I never knew that.
Yeah.
I've made it up there on the spot.
That episode of Black Mirror led to Brexit.
And because that was like, that was the pig fucking episode.
And after that, around about that time, that story about David Cameron and the Bullions Club came out.
That's right.
And then as an order to deflect from the fact that he was a pig fucking tough, he was like,
well, what about if I gave you what you've been shiting on about for years and we do a referendum?
That all, like, genuinely all happened in the space of a couple of months.
and look at us now.
You're right, actually, yeah.
And it's interesting
because that whole thing
like, oh, I want to leave the EU.
That was something
they've been going around
since they entered the EU.
Exactly.
And it was always,
it was always in the back pocket
to be like,
if we really need to distract the people,
say if they find out I fucked a pig.
We throw this at them and that'll...
I mean, come on,
like, all he did was put his
cock in the mouth
of a decapitated pig's head
as a goof.
Different story.
Who has?
You amongst us hasn't.
It's pure fun.
It's pure hedonistic goofs.
It's no sexual thing to do it at all.
you can put your I've checked you can put your cock in the mouth of something dead
and do it in a funny way and it's not actually sexual and not but you barely even enjoy it
you can't get it cancelled for that trust me this is a history podcast yes i forgot right
yeah oh back to the intro yeah so i i cannot if you haven't liked it until now
i cannot express enough how much your fans will hate us and they will not just be a weird
episode they all skip but i can't express how much we both love you
yeah thank you so
great
we haven't you got started bitches
yeah we're both are you a pay
I'm a paying subscriber
yeah we're both we're both
really subscribers yeah
oh did we get lost
in the big numbers there
he doesn't let me see
see Brian holds all the passwords
to all the accounts
I'm not allowed to see anything
checking the ticker tape every day
I'm easy he's Jerry Heller
I'm getting screwed over here
I was listening the other week
and you said that you had like
you had a little bit of money in the bank
it's all built up now
We had some money.
I invested it.
You bought stock at AMC and GameStop.
Turns out that was actually just for a junk.
Yeah, there is money somewhere.
I told you, you're going to get it eventually.
Please, because I'm actually so broke right now.
Like, not even in a...
I'm not being hyperbolic or funny.
I am genuinely struggling financially.
Please give me some money.
I do love hearing that.
Oh, I'm so...
I know I lock...
Because that's the thing
when you're like overweight
but like have no money
people are like
he's fine
look at them stuff
in his face
like no because I'm living off
like 30 cent noodles
government cheese
but I eat them like
12 times a day
so anyway
So you've a Patreon as well
We do
How's that been going?
I'm sorry
With us now
Otherwise
Shut up
Can we do we have a way
to give a free link
Is that even a thing now?
I don't think it is though
I don't think so
They don't listen anyway
Brian drove over
In the phone call
He was like
Where do you live?
we're actually listening to one of the episodes now
yeah we listen to the Orange Order episode
so I mean like you guys
it's information first
yeah yeah so we're very emotionally led
yeah so like you get all the information
and then you're comfortable with it
and you know what you're talking about and then it's funny
that's a lot that's a
you bullshit to make it seem like
you know what you're talking about
one person has done with depending on who's
running the podcast because like if it's one of us
if it's my if it's Kevin's
turn I'll lead with. He does a lot more. You can look at you're in his room now. You see all the
history books over there. Yeah. Yeah. It's a big room as well. If people knew how you lived,
I mean, it stops to subscribe to the battery on that. But no, he cares a lot more about history. It was
his idea to start the podcast. And he had had a failed run of a different podcast with the same
idea with a friend who wasn't a comedian. Oh, really? That's not entirely how it happened.
How's it goal? We, um, this was like six years ago.
all your money on Patreon
No, we just
You get it eventually
I need to pay rent now
We recorded the thing
On like Irish mythology
We recorded it from my phone
My phone was just sitting on the table
And the two of us were chatting
And they picked it up on that
But I thought it would add an ambience to it
If I had a record playing in the background
But that just meant they couldn't edit it
Because you just hear the record skip
Yeah, yeah, yeah good
But no we only did one
It was just for the crack
It was before we even knew what a podcast was
Who is this guy?
Where is he now?
Don't fucking bring him up now
It's a very sensitive subject
For Jason
It's like bringing up Geck's wife
Yeah he's very insecure
And the hands getting ready
Like what to name that bitch
Was he better in bed than me
He was just different
A podcast somebody else
I'd love it like
Would you?
I actually love it because it's like
You're doing so you're out of house
You wouldn't have to worry about me so much
That's great to see him out there
There is sometimes like every now and again
I'm not sound mean here
But sometimes like you know you're out in the pace of whatever
And like you don't text back next day
I'm like oh
It's happened
yeah i get that that's sort of that's an old that's the old cadden way yeah yeah yeah i'm gonna get
knock on the door i'll have to get a suit now pretend oh he was a great man
ah yeah well okay
so it's a history podcast and i i love the way like this you you walk away and you feel like
it's a good meal i think we're all saying it's like eat some bad chocolate a substantial meal
a substantial meal yeah yeah a great one okay that's a reference
Prince that'll hold up.
But, like,
but also it's kind of like when you find like a,
you know,
like a chicken fillet roll,
like underneath a car seat.
Yeah.
I had one today.
Yeah.
See, again,
great,
but it's not like,
you know,
the healthiest thing.
You blow off the kind of the dust
and the,
you know,
little dust bunnies all over it.
Well,
I finished him
started drinking the straight whiskey.
So that's...
Drinking straight whiskey?
Yeah,
he had no ice.
Oh.
There was so many ice.
He never bothered to ask.
I didn't ask.
How's your drinking me going?
Ah.
I've been living in Carlo for the last six weeks, so I'm pretty good at it now.
Yeah, it's kind of like, oh, I need to be sobered living Carlo.
No.
So I was saying, like, it's a great history podcast.
Do you ever get people who are like kind of like nerds are like, oh, you made that mistake or you made that mistake?
You fucking idiots.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Which we try to refer to it.
It's called, it's the first thing you read, it says shite talk.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And it's two comedians who, let's say.
it's like a loose retelling of
Irish stories. That's what I said earlier.
Kevin does more research. Well, he takes
I don't know if he does more. He does
he takes more serious topics.
Okay. And then I don't want to do that
because I'm busy. Or I don't care.
Sure. He's very busy down and Carlo
drinking. There's an awful lot
to be done then there. Well not, I don't
get people who come in.
I had someone, someone bought
we did like a three-part episode and the third
part. It was about Sean Quinn
and it was behind the paywall. Okay. And
someone listened to like 12
hours of content and then demanded
the five euro back because they were like
really wow you kept saying this guy's name
wrong and I was like well I'm not
I don't think I did I'm not go back and listen
to nine errors to figure out if I did or not
but I don't know
his name you seen wrong
Jason Jason
I actually can't remember
it was one of the names he was like oh to disgrace
and but no one's
ever like too
too mean our fan base
really aren't that pedantic at all.
I think he just wanted his money back.
Our fan base are pretty simple.
It's sort of like you.
They tune in every week. It's like, oh, they're still alive.
You ever see Slingblade?
That's our fan base.
Yeah.
Now, when we walked someone from the gig,
we walked three people from the gig in Chenet at the hysteria gig.
Really? Yeah.
They said, we didn't even know.
They're sensitive.
We didn't know if it was pro or negative,
but we had mentioned Cromwell and they either decided we didn't go too
hard or not hard enough
it's a weird hill to die on in
2021 cromwell well
there's an English fan who
flew over to Dublin for the first ever
live gig and he brought his mother
and I think like
he either brought his auntie or his auntie was living
in Ireland and they came down
and we walked them within the first like 20
minutes she was very but then she hung around the
whole night and she kept walking then
she kept doing that like middle aged angry
woman walk where she was purposely walking into
the wrong room in the hopes of
she wanted us to say something
sure yeah
she kept trying to leave a bar
by going into the basement
in a huff
then turning around
and storming out again
she's hunting for an argument
exactly
so her son brought her over
from England
is like you're gonna love this mom
yeah
and then we made
some reference to Cromwell
and then she was like
I think she was only
because we weren't
going Adam hard enough
okay
or we were making light of it
yeah
which Cromwell
there's two Cromwells
Oliver Cromwell
no there's two Oliver Cromwells
Oliver Cromwell
as in
senior. To hell or to Connock
to that one. Yeah, there's that one that everyone knows
but there's also the other one that was friends
with King Henry VIII, if I believe
I'm right. Well, well, well.
Brian's done some research.
Look who's bringing a gun to a knife here.
It's played by Mark Rylands, I believe.
I'm probably wrong. That's why I don't do a history podcast.
This is going to be a Michael Collins episode, by the way,
just let people know. Yes. You have two
framed pictures of Collins. We have a story
about that, but we specifically asked you
do we have to watch anything for this
podcast you're like no don't worry about it you've seen michael collins to film like
yeah yeah yeah i mean like we're not savants like james cadden well i'm not savante either i'd be honest
i thought you guys would almost teach us about michael collins that's kind of what i was hoping yeah
yeah we're not history bubs we just really needed a way into the irish comedy scene
yeah it was like no one's stolen the dollop yet right we'll do it so hysteria didn't
works now you're coming to us
I'm like wow
I'm trying to chip in
you've done that gig
in Mullingar
I love that
love that gig
I love that place
we are doing a live gig there
mark my words
this Friday
but now so you weren't
offered framed photos of Michael
Collins
no oh by these two
the two men
the two men
I was gonna say two
mentalers but that might be
you know a bit insensitive
because the second part is
I met a guy
last week who had also
did the game
in Mullingard and he was like, yeah, these two guys gave us
photos of Michael Collins
and I was chatting to him, he was like, oh, you one of the
boys from Shite Talk, because they stayed with
the two lads and was like, oh, the two lads have been listening to every
episode, wait if you had to give him a shout out.
See, that's weird because... So here it is.
A bit earlier, like maybe a few weeks or a couple
of months earlier, Owen Colgan, like
Buzz from Artybox was like doing
the gig there, so I was on the bill.
And afterwards, these two lads kind of
came, and it must be the same two lads.
Now, they didn't give me any pictures of Michael Collins,
but there was like a weird energy
there's no mistake in the boys and they both
they kind of like stood on either side of me
and they're like do you want to come to our gaff
for pints or whatever this is there
and I was driving I was like nah I'm good
man and then they both just kind of stared there
stud there staring
smiling was like really love that material
man yeah dark as fuck yeah I was like
cool cool thanks uh
yeah gotta shoot off now boys it was nice
to meet his but you know when like
there's someone on either sidey I had to keep
turning my head to look it's like
you know use could rectify this
if one of you stood over here
but I didn't want to be a dickhead and say that
I just left.
Well, they know what they're doing like.
Yeah, yeah.
Actually, I genuinely don't think that they do.
They're like, actually, yeah, you're right.
They're quite...
But don't say to...
We have made a plan around going back there
and staying.
But I heard they're rich.
Yeah, I heard they're wealthy.
They're very wealthy.
So we should probably release this
after we've stayed in their house.
No, release it.
They want to hear this.
They're going back.
We'll go away.
No, we're all going back.
Oh, yeah.
The aim is to do all of us
and James Morin.
Yeah, let's do it.
We can do crowd work.
Yeah.
That'd be dangerous.
We all do crowd work.
We all get up on stage.
Like, whoa.
Where are you from?
Mollingar.
Where are you from?
Also, Mollingerar.
That man just asked me where it was from.
One thing about Mollongar, they're always quite rowdy, but you can literally say anything.
There's no one.
No one's writing a blog the day after in Mollongar.
Much of the preference of the host.
Yeah.
Matthew Talon told me that the only thing you can't, they don't like landlord.
jokes. Apparently, he went
up and did a bit about, or someone made a joke about
landlords and they were like,
well, they have to make a living.
Get back to the dead baby stuff.
So I was
raping a baby's corpse
in this gaff that was real expensive.
Boom. Get back to
the second part, but we like
the first part. And if you do like that kind of
humor, Bright and James have a Patreon
you can subscribe. You say Patreon.
I thought it was Patreon. I do.
But I, well,
Well, it's patron.
It's kind of like Memo.
Like the Renaissance movement.
What?
It was patron.
Yeah, Leonhard da Vinci.
Yeah.
But then any of the people I know who make money from it.
Like the turtles?
Always say pizza, Donatello.
But they always say Patreon.
Really?
Yeah.
Or else I've spent too long in America.
Now, of course, people, now, if you are a fan of our podcast, you'll know that the
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, of course,
An allegory for human sex trafficking.
They had tunnels underneath the cities.
What did they like to eat?
Pizza.
There was a rat, and we all know what the rat represent.
I'm not going to say it.
But the students of history, I'm sure, will know.
It was set in Rome and more particular in the Vatican.
That's the type of stuff you can expect if you listen to our podcast,
if you've never heard us before.
Big insights.
I do those kinds of rants and make those connections quite a lot.
I'm wondering if the listener will find it difficult to follow what's going on.
yes because we never actually explained what is happening let's do an introduction yes so i still
know what's happening what is this is a swap cast okay i'm going to take over now this is a swap
cast just to lay down the foundation here this is a swap cast slapping the table is like that's great
radio with two podcasts it always comes through great and audio i'm so weak as well as like
put some crackers in your mouth my fingers yeah so it's two two great well one great podcast
talking shite, shite talk
and Brian and James
fuck each other
Well, we're gonna go on the intro buddy
Yeah
Screwed the pooch there
I'm like Dave Fanning
Does he like dogs he does
It's shite talk
An Irish History podcast
That's the full title
That's exactly it
You guys could be on news talk
Because you're not like swearing that much
You don't go too dark
Like you know where draw the line
That was an active choice
For me
Kevin still swears
Yeah
You know me better
is it like. I know, you swear like a sailor.
Yeah. Like a bloody sailor out and leave. And spend my money like them
as well. Yeah. The, but no, I just, I listened back to the first two
seasons or one, whatever it was. I was like, Jesus Christ, I curse an awful lot
because it's just a crutch. It is a crutch, you're right.
But it's a fucking good one. It is. It's a way of thinking though, isn't it? It's like
the fucking. Yeah. And people in America used to like, you curse way too much
and I realized then that I was like, all right, I'm using that as a way just to like go
because I used to work in radio
and I used to always go
and I was like
alright on the podcast instead of doing that
I'll just say fucking
those bastards
we go in other ones
so you're a cunton
you know that cuntin
what's the word I'm looking for
oh cunt
the rape
allegations
no that's the wrong word
Is this silly introduction
I think
well now we were talking about this earlier on
you just watch
it's always
sunny the Philadelphia
I do
I watch a recent episode
there
do they swear in that show
they do
they do
they say everything
they do yeah
well I've noticed
the newer seasons
they started to say
fuck and even
Kant
back of the day
it was always like
shit god damn
Jesus
that's what I was saying
but the newer seasons
obviously FX
are like
look do whatever you want
here's the interesting
though
maybe that's what it is
yeah
because back in early seasons
you could
joking to say
a slur
yes
all right
but you can't really
say slurs as easily
now
yeah I think
you definitely
get a lot more
pushback from networks
me like do you need
all the slurs
very first episode actually
the gang gets racist
Charlie Day
drops a hard end
he does yeah
he does
but now because of that
they're like
well we'll say
cunt more
yes
and that kind of
they know who we mean
because Americans
love that
that's
they really hate that
don't they
have you dropped
the sea bomb
in the States
every single
time I'm on stage
as a feeler
kind of like
I'm fighting
I'm touching out the
jab just to see
what's working
what's coming
behind it and if they laugh for that
I'm like well it's a fucking free game
now I would love to see that in Irish audiences
though as well they don't even like it
all they do like it's a little
it's a very harsh in an American
accident you can't yeah
you fucking can't it just
it's it's a thing of if you say
it just drop it in casually as you're
starting to set that then you know
right well it's a punchline later on
I better change that punchline if it doesn't
work the first time yeah that's interesting
now yeah I'd like see him Fallon that'd be quite
but we don't have any sacred words
there's nothing left if you were really angry
we can't really say it
and that doesn't...
No one cares you dropped the Teague word
you know?
Yeah, yeah
but if you're really annoyed
and you're like
that fucking Tyg
you can also say that
about your best friend
who won the lot of it.
You don't know
to correct him on his pronunciation
like four seconds
after he says.
We did it subtly though
I don't even know
because no one never says it
like no one cares
like an Irish slur
yeah yeah
well see like
Paddy and Mick
but those are just our names
I think we should
we should start our own one
what what did you say
I was thinking paddy in something else
what about spudder
because we love potatoes you
bloody spudders that's good
I'd say there must be some real old
English ones for like
Or Fenian
Yeah Fenian scum
They used to call us monkeys
Oh well listen
You know no disputes there
But eh
I was just the black Irish
When we've since realised
It's not a term we're out to use anymore
Black Irish
Yeah
Because I'm black Irish.
What exactly is...
Dark-haired Irish.
Like dark-haired, sallow skin.
Oh, okay, right, right, right.
I guess you would be as well, Kevin.
I guess, yeah.
I'm like kind of like ginger and pasty, freckles.
Overweight and sad.
You know, classic Irish.
The classic Irish.
The Brendan Gleeson, but without the money.
That's kind of what I'm going for.
And your trousers are dry.
They are quite dry.
Not as dry as I would like, but they're getting there.
No, were we all at the fringe
two years ago?
I think I was.
I was at someone's gig there and it might have been Emily Ashporn's actually
and she was asking,
did they even know any interest in Irish names to the audience?
And like a Spanish woman in front of me put up her hand and was like,
oh, a Fenian.
And I was kind of laughing to myself thinking like, oh, someone's pulling her leg.
And went up to her afters was like, yeah, do you actually know someone called
Feeneon? I thought someone was taking the piss and she was like,
oh no, like my boyfriend's friend from back in Northern Ireland,
it's called Feeneon and it was Martinis's nephew.
what?
Fair enough.
I was going to guess
it's like
Funnon.
No, I think it's full
up
like why wouldn't you call
your...
Finian.
Yeah.
It's a term
of endearment
probably, yeah.
But it's the
Irish for a warrior.
I mean,
Finan is an Irish
like
Finan.
It's a weird
Finnian.
I think it was a
hard E.
It was Fienian.
It's got a good
ring to right now.
Yeah.
Now I mean,
don't bother
looking that up
to see if it's true
or not.
I just think it's a funny
Well,
looking up if there's
a Spanish woman
in the Edinburgh
French Festival
two years ago.
I'll find that.
She left a trail.
I have my methods.
I fucked her.
Much like most of the podcast,
like our podcast,
don't go Googling stuff.
That's like,
that's kind of one of the good things
about having a podcast
that nobody listens to it
and kind of sends us in
and nobody cares, you know?
You can't be.
Well, I was going to say
it's the opposite
because you have like a,
you're like the comedians
comedian's comedian of podcast
that like all the Irish comedians
are listening to eat.
Yeah, but they don't share it
or tell anyone they listen to.
What's up with that actually?
There's number of people I know
who are like,
oh, I love it,
I couldn't see it.
Why?
Why?
You...
Just because it has fuck in the title?
No, it's not because...
That's certainly not the reason.
Yes.
Or it's not because the voices.
Oh, you think the accents are the problem?
I have prefaced the use
of the voices many times
and I'm sick of defending it.
Yeah, I've seen what happened to Shane Killis.
You know, that was...
It's kind of what I'm hoping for.
If that's not my trajectory, I'll be dead in a year.
You're the young bull.
It's either Rogan or...
or the gutter.
It's funny.
See what way it goes.
If you do like an Asian voice,
like,
ah,
it's ironic.
Like,
ironic of what?
Taste?
You know,
it's,
I'm just making foot of like
that sort of thing.
You're right.
It is,
you know what it is?
It's,
it's very hacky and silly and dumb.
And the only kind of merit,
if there was any,
is the fact that like,
I don't know,
the old stuff shirts
get a little uncomfortable
when you do it.
Yeah.
But rightfully so
I mean I don't think that justifies it in any way
Like if I'm ever sort of brought up
And what the Hague
Yeah yeah
The comedic Hague you know
There's like a nasty walker and like
Yeah you go on there yeah
We need loads of time with his cadden man
Yeah yeah
Ah hey everybody knows
It's good spirits you know
It's all in good fun
It is in good fun
Well that's a good chance for us to go like
Hey listeners we've given the go ahead for this
That's like we think
both of these guys are great.
Oh, yes.
Like, I don't know what, obviously,
no, you're asking us, do people
ever give out to us about, like, oh, you've got all
of these history facts wrong?
Do people actually ever give out to you?
No one's got proper angry. There's a few people
who, like, have come to me almost like, as a friend
to be like, are you sure you want to do this?
Yeah. They annoy me. I'd rather people get
angry. And they come to him. Nobody ever
comes to me. I really have
like a really unapproachable,
unpleasant, aesthetic
or demeanor or something that I never
hear from anybody about anything. Well, it doesn't help that, like,
you're constantly talking about how, like, I'm so
unapproachable. I'm so unapproachable.
Don't ever talk to me.
Also, you're very tall.
Yeah, I guess I'm a big, kind
of burly... He's a bull, man.
He used to play rugby. He's a fucking bull.
When I was, like, 14, with
Protestants as well.
So, you know...
You just let you lose in there.
Yeah, they brought me onto
the pitch, like Hannibal Lecter, you know,
in a stray jacket, and a muscle.
Let me at him. Let me at him.
Why do all the other lads have studs in their shoes
and I have blades?
It's like, well, James, just do your words.
Oh, fuck, some baseball player used to do that, actually.
What's his name?
We talked about him.
Ty, um...
Oh, fuck, what's the name?
Ty Borell from Modern Family?
Exactly, yeah, yeah.
When he was a baseball player back in the day,
he used to actually sharpen his boots on purpose
and deliberately, like, try and get in the head, like, yeah, yeah.
Oh, really?
This is about Michael Collins.
Yeah, actually, yeah.
So, do you think the treaty was a good idea?
Did it sell out Ireland?
Great segue.
A master of it.
segues over here.
Well, we've a long run
and thing on the podcast
of Kevin
disbelieving
that Limerick
is the treaty
county.
No, no.
You've just got
you're the lucky
get it's yeah
I didn't have a lucky guess.
You did have a lucky guess.
I knew it.
I don't know.
And we had a big argument
on the podcast.
I say that he edits
the podcast
so I got edited
it down to this like
I need to hear the uned
the version.
There was
Dundalk slurs.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
He was calling me
a scalyady.
It went fucking...
It's like Opie versus Anthony.
A scallion eater?
Yeah. You'd draw it as gun.
That's the Carlo.
You know, you've got like the Banner County.
You've got the...
Okay.
No one cares about Carlo because, you know,
being brighter from there.
Monaghan. Monaghan is very much forgotten.
If it wasn't for the Monaghan Dublin bombings,
no one would even...
Would have heard of him.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That really put us on the map.
The tourist office did that on purpose.
You do, yeah.
False flag.
They know, they didn't even bother putting the plaques on a wall.
It's one of the few plaques
it's on the ground.
So it's only for moping fuckers
and walking around
looking at their shoes
they're in their seat.
Kind of like the Hollywood stars.
Yeah.
There's one on Parnell Street
and one on the Abbey Street.
But, um,
well, no,
because you said that the treaty
county,
the treaty county
is called the treaty county
because of the like 1691 treaty.
Oh,
no,
don't bring up facts.
And you said it's called
the treaty county
because you thought the dead hid out there.
I called it the treaty county.
Yeah.
Yeah.
During the Anglo-Irish tree
I thought we agreed
to edit everything else
until I was right
Now I'll be honest
I don't actually understand
What you're talking about
Yeah neither do the voices
Yeah
When do I do the voices
Well if Devalier was a black man
Yeah
A little something like this
Oh here goes
Tell you what
Captain do blind boy
Blind boy
Oh I have depression
And I wear a bag on my face
That's pretty good
Now you sound like you
it's not holes in the bag
yeah
ah yes I am very unhappy
it was Ty Cobb by the way
was a baseball player
Ty Cobb yes who played him
Tommy Lee Jones yeah great film about him
but so it's called the treaty
county what's the film called
the film's called Ty Cobb
oh yeah yeah yeah it's about Ty Cobb
obviously yeah Tommy Lee Jones is like a drunken
racist baseball player from when like the 30s
50s I think yeah
It's about he's like washed up
Okay, and he's like, I'm the grace baseball player
And like, what about Babe Brew?
Fuck, he that cunt!
And then, uh...
Homefield is six yards shorter.
They've got the stand six yards lower.
It doesn't count.
They got the Negroes now.
It's a great film.
It's about a fan of Ty Cobb who spent time with him.
He's like, Jesus Christ.
Like a journalist, right?
Yeah, and there's some excellent slurs.
Wonderful.
Excellent.
Almost like a, like, like, like,
like jazz
I haven't seen it
but yeah
it's on my list
so it's called
the treaty county
because that's
where shit was going down
because it happened
London didn't it
well it's good
no it's called
the treaty
because they signed
a different treaty
in 1691 there
but also coincidentally
when Michael Collins
was in London
they've hit out
in Limerick
while the treaty
was being signed
in some
what was the hotel
you made a big deal
of it at the time
I knew it at the time
though
but the hotel
I know
I'm scrapping that all
loved that so much passion at the time and I was like
I don't remember that shit. My roommate
in particular will do this like oh that thing
you said was wrong. It's like one
I don't remember two I was high
and three leave me a lot. I don't
have the rent by the way
because you're a lot like me that
you're another green boy. I do
I took the reefer on occasion
yes when I can afford it. I'm actually smoking my
roommates homegrown shit at the minute.
Not bad. Not the best. Not the best.
but it's all right
he'll probably listen to this
so shout out
what up boy
smoking the homegrown herbal and ting
hear me know
but it's like that idea of like
people calling back
to things you've said previously
yeah
not on a podcast
not on a stand-up gig
just like
I'm just talking to you as a person
and then they go like
all right
oh you said this before you're like
I've said a lot of things
exactly but the thing is
you know you bring it on yourself
in that. I made the decision
to say those things while being recorded
so I have to be ready to defend
them at a moment's notice.
So I walk around with a blade in my boot
just ready to go.
Well, I get a lot
is I get people come up to me talking about you.
Okay. Okay, but they're always like...
Kevin gets that about me.
Yeah, it's kind of weird. Like, people
like can't be like, I can't compliment you
directly because it would kill you. I have to like
compliment someone else.
Oh, these weren't compliments.
They give you compliments about me.
Yeah, yeah. But it's always
like jays is now when james talking about de fella and oh
they're never going to details like it's always like this is the same
as funny at the podcast you're like i'll keep this from james now he doesn't need to know
about this it's for your own good i'm like broke as shit
and i genuinely unironically think that everybody in the irish comedy scene
hates me yeah but i'm actually that is a problem you have
it is a problem i have yeah even today i was like
scrolled shrinks oh they hate me and they hate me and they hate me and i should kill
well it's Brian's eulogy is going to be beautiful
he was a well-loved wealthy man
if only I told them before he died
he didn't think so because I never told him
I can pay you Thursday okay
good thanks I could be you today
but no no I'm actually
coming across so pathetic here aren't I
I have no money and everybody hates me
you're an Irish stand-up comedian
I'd be lucky enough now there's no one
I'm fully I don't think anyone hates me
I say it's some naive
we haven't had coffee for about two
and a half years now, Brian.
I mean, I've been out of the country.
Yeah, yeah. That's the excuse. Yeah, yeah.
Oh, we can have coffee all time now.
I live in Dublin. I'm unhappy.
I don't live in Dublin. Because I can't afford it.
Oh, I'll get a cup of coffee off Kev Larnay.
And I go, sir.
Kev shut that down straight away. It's like, nah, pal.
I've got so many, I've got beans from all around the continent.
I'm like, nah, give him a fucking tea bag.
Decafis. Really?
I don't want him getting hyper and stay in here.
Is it Barry's or lions? Because if it's Barry's, that's the final insult, isn't it?
That's Little Brent.
Oh.
Oh, you were Barry's, man.
We used to be Lions and Lions Goldblend.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And the mother just decided one day to...
She went crazy one day in the supermarket, super value, always Super Value.
Yeah.
Went and got Barry's.
It's been five or six years now.
Hasn't changed.
That's what I moved to America.
That's what fucking people in America that I've given them go, this is the only
tea bag there is.
Yeah.
In America, there's another type of tea bag, but it's not, you don't put it in
hot water. You put it on people's faces.
Oh, you mean you're testicle.
I didn't want to have to explain that.
To these two. You had to explain it.
Do you see my face? I was like, what?
There's other types of tea.
You mean green tea?
Yeah, you go up to a girl's like, hey, can I
Earl Grey, you?
You whore.
Let me camamile, you bitch.
So, yeah,
get back to my question. Do you think it was
the right decision to sign the treaty?
I think it was the only decision.
I think I'm in the same.
People are like, oh, traitors and all that.
I don't think, because there was going to be a more conservative government coming up, wasn't there?
Yeah.
They were also, like, before World War I, like, we were on the verge of a civil war here anyway.
They were going to give home rule.
All the boys in the north had just, like, chipped over a load of guns.
And, like, 1914, the UVF had armed themselves.
And down here, everyone was getting ready to arm themselves.
Like, yeah, Ulster, 100 years later, barely is ready for unification.
and it definitely wasn't ready back then.
So if you had to come back with all the counties,
it would have been to civil war,
which there was anyway, so who knows?
But here's a question, right?
The rest of the three of us.
There's not alone.
He's gone.
Yeah.
I'm genuinely, I am such an idiot.
I have no idea why you're talking about.
Well, now, here's a question.
We've done podcasts about this bore,
and I've forgotten because of what we talked about earlier.
When's Liam Nixon going to show up?
What's so say?
I don't find you, and I will.
Radicalise you.
Say Liam Neeson came back today and unified the country.
Would you be willing to give up the flag and the national anthem for a New Ireland?
Well, what'll be a flag then?
No, I don't know.
We'd have to vote on it.
You mean like a unified 32 counties?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, the unionists wouldn't agree to that.
But say it just as part of the deal.
No, that's true.
You're right.
They're very laid back.
They'd be like, yeah, just keep the tricolour.
Oh, we actually like at the three colors.
It looks good.
It's fucking grown to me.
He's dead now.
We were just kind of not going to defend them.
That is a good point now.
What would you...
The flag tells a story, though.
Yeah.
That's the whole point of the flag.
It's like Protestants and Greens and the white.
Yeah, but it has sort of been
university recognized as like, you know,
the Catholics and it's our side.
It's like, it's like symbolic.
It's basically like a real fuck you to like the unionists, right?
I know what you mean.
It is, ironically, it would be the perfect one,
but you can't go from burning something on a bonfire
for a hundred years to be like, actually,
salute.
Well, then they can have their union jacks then.
Yeah.
It's like that.
Yeah.
But you need some sort of...
He calls them Union Jack Eans.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'd say...
That's a joke for our listeners.
I'd say, like, a blue flag with...
Okay.
All right, blue.
You're going to take it's a gay, like...
A dog on it.
It's been turned into a shirt already.
A dog.
A dog.
A dog might be good.
No, everybody likes dogs.
A type of dog.
An Irish wolf end with a balladlass.
What's the name the dog?
Spuds McKenzie.
Spuds McKenzie.
That was a real dog.
Cerbris or satanta.
Was not a dog?
Oh, the dog, the Ku-Kullin hurled a dog.
Yeah, yeah, they love all that sort of stuff.
Okay.
And then changed the National Anthem to a nation once again.
Brian just pointed at his mountain and said, hurled the dog.
Yeah, you did point it to, well, he hurled the dog.
He hit the dog.
Yeah, he swallowed the dog.
I got too excited by history.
It is a good, I've never actually even considered that, but yeah, if there was, like, going to be unification, they would want some new, like, kind of flag and new whatever national anthem.
Let's put money down.
When's it happening?
10 years?
Yeah, within the next 10 years.
You think, yeah?
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
I mean, if I'm wrong, who gives a shit?
If I'm right, we're all partying.
I'm going to the prices writing and go, 11.
Tomorrow.
It could be 100 years.
I'm still right.
I'm closer to it.
I've talked to a good few people in the north who are like, it's never going to happen.
And I really don't think, like, you know, as each,
new generation cares less and less.
Like, just like from, you know,
like obviously there's a few diehards,
like the historians like yourselves.
But like, you know, like the TikTok kids
don't give you shit about Unified Ireland, you know what I mean?
No, isn't there like IRA TikTok?
They've got like thick asses.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Just going to help the cause.
Wait, unification of a country.
I can make money on Onlyfans.
What are you talking about?
Yeah.
But isn't the, the, of course, IRA.
Sinn Féin, they've made a real push.
to go on the social media way, haven't they?
Oh, yeah. Didn't he, Jerry got in trouble there like yesterday for that Christmas song?
Have you seen that?
Oh, Chucky Arla, La La La.
Yeah, yeah.
What was that actually on?
I saw, like, the article, but where was it?
Some social media change.
He got shared in TikTok.
It's made to be shared.
It's pretty funny that Jerry Adams is like, he's slaying the game right now.
Jerry's making Simpsons.
Yeah.
He was doing cat.
Smash that like, buttons.
And subscribe.
That's when you know, like, it was like, all right.
Jerry, take a back step from the front of the party.
You just go on Twitter and start making cat memes.
It'd be so funny if he got cancelled in 2022 for like an inappropriate song.
When he like, forget about all the IRA stuff.
He like protected his paed brother.
He's definitely murdered people.
Well, now that was inappropriate.
But then he's like, what's all these ping pongs, you know?
Well, remember that time he said like, well, he said he was watching Django and Shane.
He was like the Bally Murphy ends of...
Was that not Ennekenny?
No, Endicenny did it as well.
I think they've all done it
Yeah, but he tweeted it there a few years
He was like, what the fuck?
Or she remembered, what's his name?
Mr. Green Party said it there
like a few, like last year.
What was the context?
Don't look at me when you say that.
Eam and Ryan said it in the dole there a year ago.
I know, what was the context?
He already stood up.
It was like, I just want to say something.
We're working like ends out there for you.
No, I can't remember what he said it in.
I think he was quoting some rap lyric.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Was it kneecap?
It might have been.
Yeah, he was doing a,
Spotify playback for 2020
but it would be funny to see Jerry
cancelled at this late stage in the game
yeah that's so weird like
just like stumbling at the last hurdle
yeah no people love him so much
he's become such a figure of fun now
he's a cuddly man
he's like the cuddly granda or something
well we've been saying recently that it's
going to be like Mary Lou
McDonald eventually
because it's just like it's a whip around
of like who everyone gets like a chance at this stage
and I would be like the team shock of Ireland
she'll get into power and it's like
just like a couple of years, like about six months ago
and everyone's like, well, Biden's going
to get in and he's going to at the
ceremony, hand it off to Kamala.
Yeah, yeah. No one generally taught that, though.
No one... You didn't live there.
No one's seen. You didn't talk to the people.
You don't know what I've been through.
Sorry, that's why I'm at. No one's sane
taught that. Yeah, yeah.
But that's, like, people already think
that that's what's going to happen, that like, Mary Lou's
going to get in and then the induction ceremony.
Sike!
Yeah. We're going to drop down, like,
Hatsy style, like, 40-foot flags from the bottom,
and it's going to be, here comes Jerry.
Yeah, he just comes in one of those, like,
hoverboards.
You're standing on like, what it is.
All work and no union.
No United Ireland makes Jerry a very dull boy.
I've heard there's files, sealed documents in, I think, MIT in Boston,
that 100% proved that he was, like, you know, killing people, like.
Yeah.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Oh, just that's what I've heard.
Oh, that is...
They're unopened.
That's the whole thing, like...
No, they got them.
Do you remember a few years ago when he was arrested
in, like, conveniently in the middle of an election cycle?
Yeah.
It's the Gene McConville thing.
And as part of, like, a...
Yeah, it's in MIT, Boston.
Yeah.
Of course it's Boston.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, where else would they keep it?
But they were like, in the...
You know, for the sake of history,
we'd rather know than not know.
So they interviewed people on, like, both sides,
UVF, and people in the IRA.
And they're like, you can tell.
tell us your story, your full story.
It'll be sealed until after either you die or like the last person involved is die.
So there'll be no repercussions.
It's grand.
Right.
And as soon as like, MI5 and Edibed, like, yeah, give us those tapes.
And it was all the people talking about how Jerry Adams had like ordered the G.
McCombard murder.
And they took him into.
I do, yeah.
I do remember him getting arrested.
They arrested him on us.
They arrested him on us.
They just fucking took the tapes.
And MIT was like, this will ruin.
No one will ever be able to do a project like this again because you're taking the tapes.
Like, yeah.
Don't give a phone.
it's also inadmissible right if like yeah yeah because it was still hearsay it was the same evidence
they always had it was it was it actually mit or was it like was there any kind of intelligence
no MIT it was just MIT itself yeah MIT was the college yeah i know but like why
where to make the robot dogs why would MIT like you know just 21 did ever see that film
that's a film you know not really heaven spacey he's a safer topic of it but no they just
yeah for the interest of history and probably because they were all Bostonians and
yeah they're all gay for that
so what is just like more or less
like a sociological experiment
let's just call it less about Jerry
killing people
just to like you know
and there's no kind of like
like law enforcement behind it or kind of like
oh what are they saying there
well that's what happened
the FBI or whatever
I'm sure they had to have known
but they all loved the Irish over there
yeah
Whitey Bolter was helping the FBI
well he was an FBI
informed yeah yeah he was helping everybody
that's true
that's what I mean I just don't I don't
But I necessarily that it was just strictly MIT acting on their own.
I get you.
I don't know.
But they didn't take the files.
They looked at the files, but it's not like they have them, like, we got him here, babies.
And it's not evidence.
Like, so.
But they did hand them over to MI5 anyway, like.
So really, all MI5 got us like, oh, now we know there's rumors that he was in.
Exactly.
Now we have this guy who's.
Pisshead McGill.
Well, it was because it was the same people who'd always been saying it.
They were like, well, now we've heard it on tape.
Yeah.
No, it was Laura's price, I think, had recorded it.
And then, but yeah, it was the same evidence that they always had.
See, here's the thing, because it's so relatively recent.
And we still get the brother coming out on the news sometimes being like, oh, my sister got killed.
I made that sound very dismissive.
Wow, wow, wow.
You still have families coming out and, like, still very clear links.
Yeah.
But I think, give it, like, 300 years, and people will look at Jerry and the IRA and all that as, like, a very kind of like, yeah, fuck, yeah.
Very sympathetic.
They're not going to look at the details, stuff like that.
Well, there's even a lot of people.
that turned their back on like Jerry
at the time because he denounced all that stuff
and like a lot of the people who are involved
in the Gene McConlin killing
are the ones that came forward because they're like yeah he told us
to do it we have to live with that murder and he's
still walking around there yeah
like Charles pretty much a celebrity now like
he's sort of like you know the evolution
of it on social media he's really like
hey it's a fun time Jerry is like I have PTSD
from the murders you ordered me to carry out
and you're fucking making TikTok videos with
14 year old
bitches with big dates
It's not fair, Jerry
I would love it if he dated
like an 18 year old
just on the cost of 18
He gets Charlie DeMilio pregnant
I was never
And Charlie DeMilleon
Not him now
Who's the Dundalk
Only fans girl
Oh, Nevo
Which one?
Yeah, it's her
Nevo's a big one
That's who he's gonna
He's like
She's fucking some Turkish guy
But oh man
He says he's Turkish
It's still about Michael Collins
It's Jerry with a tan
and a lovely fade.
He's gonna go over to America
and marry some like
Instagram taut, you know?
Is he, yeah, is he married, Jerry?
Yeah, married.
Who's he married to?
Just a regular woman, like,
not a model or anything.
But I heard Martin McGuinness,
I think, fucked Jane Fonda.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
You heard that?
Because she's a, she...
And Marilyn Monroe
at the same time as JFK, I heard.
Sam Giacano was
a spixie-whanking in the corner, yeah?
Got that lad on.
I hear he's freaking me out
I can't he get hard when he's
logging at me
you whop con
we're watching
I was watching in the name of the father
there a few weeks ago
Oh yeah
A great film
But one of the
One of the guys who got released
Then eventually
Went on and married
One of the Kennedys
Everyone was banging the Kennedy's like
Yeah that's true
But like one of the big Kennedys
One of the fucking
Top ones
Like Teddy
Yeah Teddy
He went over and bang Teddy afterwards
Let's go for our drives
They're all
They're all one of the big kids
one. It's like if you say like a Rockerfeller.
You sure, but there's like some real drags.
I was living with the fellow over in Texas that he said like he's from, I shouldn't
say the state, but I will, like South Carolina.
And he went to like college with the fellow over there and he started dating like one of
the Rockerfellas. Wow.
I said Rockefellas.
Rockerfellas. Rockerfellers.
The boys.
A Rockefeller.
Yeah.
You know we also got Rockefeller pregnant.
some rapper
fucking oh what's his name
you talk for me
I'm gonna look it up
yeah
but I heard
one of the lads
I was living with
and said like
yeah no
he started like
dating this girl
and she was like
part of the Rockefeller
or whatever
it was like
yeah
but like
second cousin
or whatever's like
yeah
they're still
multi
billionaires
like the kind of
the pleb
end of the
Rockefeller family
could still
have you killed
no bother
like you know what I mean
yeah
like they're not
being ushered in
with the whole
sort of
eugenics
transhumanism
some stuff, but they still have a bit of
chain knocking around. As the kids
say today, James, some clout.
Some clout, yeah. It's still got a fucking
speedboat, you know. They're chasing that
clout, but when they finally catch
that clout, they run them off the road
into a lake. Yeah. Nice.
Do you not find it? I'm trying to find this
now. It's driving a bit crazy now. It'll be
tricky because then there is the Rockafella
that came up straight away, yeah.
So that's kind of, yeah, yeah.
Well, you know, you're thinking rock and rolla, the
guy Richie.
With Gerard Butler, yeah
Was that, was Rockefeller
started by Jay-Z, Damon Dash?
Was that there?
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Back to Michael Collins.
Yeah, so Collins, okay.
Let's do the film now.
Is this still the intro?
How much have we done?
Because I feel like we've done quite a lot.
What?
15.
15? 15.
Oh, shit.
5.0.
Enough time to find out who the rapper was.
You didn't find the...
No, I'm so annoyed that.
I did find it was Paul Hill married Courtney Kennedy.
Okay.
Okay, that's good, yes.
Anyway.
Okay, that's the intro done now.
Let's get down to the episode.
Well, yeah, I haven't seen that film in a long time.
It was going to be Kevin Costner.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
It was going to be very American.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, it still is.
And what's interesting is...
Like ordinary decent criminal to the general.
Man.
Ordinary decent criminal, don't even...
Have you seen it?
Boy, of course.
Oh, yeah.
Many times,
Kevin Spacey as Martin Gowl.
Yeah.
It's fantastic.
I mean, obviously shite,
like, but it's a lot of fun.
But I've been like Harpin on at
Howard at this stage.
Harpon for his Dundalk Roots.
But we think that might be
the first of our shite talk film club.
Ordner decent criminal.
Yeah.
That would definitely be,
I like the general,
the one with Brennan Gleason.
That's a great film.
It's such a good film.
Genuinely good film.
Yeah, but we don't want to do those.
though. There's a lot to talk about in that
as well. You're such a mad character. I mean it really is
but like the order decent
criminal it is just like a copy
and paste of the general but like
in a more ridiculous cartoonish
fashion. You know what I mean? And Justin
dropped the flow completely
it was G Electronica and it was
a Rothschild. And they were
whoa a Rothschild! That's a big
that's a much bigger.
And fair play the hidden. Also do you know what
the story I told was also
a Rothschild I was talking about.
I kept saying Rockefeller
was wrong.
Has everybody in this room
fucked a Rothschild except me?
I fuck J. Electronica.
With a Rodschild.
I fucked a Rodweiler,
but that's not as precise.
You got bitten the arras by one.
That's true, yeah.
Okay, I like bringing up certain issues
because things I think about a lot
and I don't really know enough
to have an opinion on.
That's the 90 thing.
I know some people that like
have an opinion straight away.
Yeah.
And I'm all such a funny-
Don't look at me when you say that.
Well, everyone here like,
you especially.
I mentioned someone
you're like,
you know,
Helen mirror and you're like,
you know,
Helen mirror and it's
the other one I don't like.
What's her name?
Merrill Streep.
Yeah,
yeah,
yeah.
I don't like,
I don't know.
I haven't seen enough movies.
Maybe Merrill Streep's good.
So when I bring up devil era,
what do you guys think?
Because he's a very,
like Michael Collins people like
Professor Snape
Badass Rockstar.
Do you think evil bit sinister
but with good intentions?
I like the way you led that in there
we were like,
oh,
I'm just one of these guys.
who likes to weigh up the options.
Unlike you three men who just hear one thing
you're like fucking devil, bastard,
legend, he never did anything wrong,
I love him.
I just fucking spend too much time
researching both sides.
Now I have a republic.
Ho!
Ho! Ho!
Boom!
It's great that they got him in for that.
He's such a good era.
He is great in that, actually.
He's a great devil era.
I thought it was a really cool, like,
old, like a hat tip to the Michael Collins
film that they made Harry Potter
where Devalera's glasses.
Oh yeah. Yeah. That's a
theory. Yeah.
Jackie Rowland knew about it.
Yeah. Well, who is it going to be?
Originally, because they're, again, I was saying it was going to be very American.
Going to be Kevin Costner as Collins.
They were thinking either Alec Baldwin.
As Devalera?
Yeah, yeah.
Wait, he's never handled a gun.
But that you won't cut.
Yeah, no.
That's the world we're living in now.
Why could he have shot a Protestant?
Yeah.
Or John Totorrell
I could see that
That would have worked better than Alec Baldwin
But no Alan Rickman
Kills it
Rickman really
He kills it
He became Devalera
He's great
Well yeah I don't know
My good reaction to Devalera
If there was a cool movie
Called Devalera
Where Liam Leeson played Dev
Maybe we'd be having a different story
Sure
But yeah he's a bit
Devalair Ra
Devalera
Yeah
Well Mike and Collins is the benefit
Of he was lucky enough
To get shot
when he was, what was it, like 31?
Yeah, like, Kirkobain.
He's a revolutionary.
The 31 Club.
You never get to see, like, Che Guevara, you know, a good clean,
everyone has the same opinion on him.
But, like, it's easy, you know, well,
it's easier to be a revolutionary than win the revolution
and then go into politics.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because then he's not getting the blame for everything.
Whereas the guy who got shot when he was still, like, out there as a gunslinger.
How was Devalera as a post-Michael Collins, a politician,
you know, when things weren't as blowy-upy,
was he a good politician was he
he got down on his knees
in front of the Catholic church and said
yes please father
yeah yeah I don't know what he was
but then like who wasn't religious
for the time yeah I don't know if he was uncharacteristically
Catholic now did he also sign the book of condolences
for Hitler he did yeah yeah but that was
that's not great is it in my book
you have done research
yeah I just did stuff I picked up from school
like I used to get bullied in history class a lot
so it's all very yeah
Well, at the time, the Germans were just, like, not the British.
So when he died, he sent over flowers, and then all the stuff about the Holocaust started coming out and he's like,
like, like a Larry David thing.
Before the press got real bad for those guys over there, there was sort of a sympathetic, like,
oh, you guys are kind of trying to fight the establishment just like they're over here.
Much respect.
Wait, they're doing what?
How many in the camps?
You'll speak up the island, son.
There was more than one.
IRA man was like you know
on his way back from Germany with a bunch of
German troops and then got
sunk in a U-boat and who knows what their
intentions were when they got here but
yeah like we were flat out getting guns from the Germans
I'm sure getting them wherever we could
I think yeah exactly yeah am I right now
again it's all coming back to me now
like devil air
I love how Brian's trying to play this off like he didn't
do so much no I'm telling you they used to put
pubs in my history book
you've got notes written on that
teacup
no no it's talk
Jason's just shocked that anyone could remember
like four facts about one of Ireland's biggest politicians
despite doing a history podcast for two years.
The teacher literally gave up.
They would be bullying me so much.
A teacher just be like,
Ah, just keep it quiet, okay?
Oh, well, I had a history teacher who, in the leaving's her ear,
one of the lads, Turlock Bard.
He said that when Mackie Thatcher dies,
I'll dance under a grave.
And then the teacher jumped out of her seat.
He was like, Turlock!
You can't say that.
actually it's fine
yeah like no one's going to like
start crying over that
don't put that in your leave insert paper
but like yeah we're kind of
but that's one of those like you could get lucky
you know
oh you had A1
I wrote seven sentences
I got an A1
lads there's a great video on YouTube
I hope it's still up there
where there's uh I'll be honest now
a gay guy okay he's very camp okay
and he's like oh my god
thanks for being honest
yeah yeah oh my god I hate
what's the name Hottie
Charles Hawley
Yeah yeah
See I don't know that much about it
But he was like
I hate Charlie Hottie
Ugh what a bad man
And he dances on his grave
Oh really
He takes a video of him
Like doing a little jig on his grave
And it's very sad
And very pathetic
In the way he's it
He literally goes like
Eh
Eh eh
Yeah
There you go Charlie
Yeah
It's like not as oppressive
As like if Michael Flatley
Had a grudge against you
Yeah
Yeah
I'll dance on your grave
You're like
No I'll turn in my grave
I'll never sleep again
do you ever see
there's a three part
I don't know
docus series
with Aiden Gillen playing Charlie Lies
Yes
Yeah it was good
Yeah
I don't know how accurate it was
He's not
He's not doing anything
Other than Aiden Gillen though
The whole time
He never can't
Yeah
Ever since Tommy Carcetti
In the wire
He hasn't acted a day in his life
He'd started doing this weird thing
Where he talks out of the
side of his mouth
He only opens up
The side of his mouth
And that's a sort of thing
And that's Kinn
And that's Love Hage
and that's even
it's all part of your master plan
Bain
It's like
It's all
He's just realized
Like I only get booked
When I talked out of the side of my mouth
Basically
Do a stroke
And then
Bell's palsy
Did you see him play
Dave Allen
On that BBC
TV movie?
No
Is that out
It came out like
About three years ago
Oh really
Yeah
But he's playing a comedian
In it
All right
And he is doing
Just Aidan Gillin
I love telling jokes
Crowsy
I don't know if to
Yeah because apparently
Dave Allen
I remember watching a documentary
about him
I don't know how true it was
But apparently no one
knew
Harry lost his finger
He's missing a finger
Oh yeah
He'd always tell like nine different stories
Yeah
His son was being interviewed
And he was like
Yeah
He'd never give me a fucking straight answer
My own father
It's probably something dumb
My dad has that about his mustache
He never tells you where he came from
Yeah
He legitimately
He's like
why don't you shave it you can grow an incredible beard shave it down like look like a normal person
no i'm gonna look like stallin i'm just gonna keep this going he's rocking the tash yeah for
non-stop since i've been born is just going like nearly shaving-headed giant mustache and i was like
he has that old irish father thing of going i have a scar on my lip so i just can't shave because
you'll see it yeah like no you just you just found the mustache yeah yeah
Well, it's obviously working for him, you know?
He got some ass.
You're a testament to that.
There you go.
You're living proof.
Yeah.
I keep saying this lately, coalescence.
Is that what I'm thinking of?
It's a fancy word.
Coal essence.
That's a cool black guy name.
But for a white guy.
Hi there, Colessence.
How do you do?
Coal essence.
That's not who we were picturing when we booked you.
This is a rowdy crowd.
I don't think they're going to like you.
Oh, I'll be fine.
I can't have a moustache now because
everyone is like, oh no, you'd look good with a moustache.
Same reason I can't have a mullet.
My dad's got the mullet and the moustache.
See, I can see moustache working for you.
Me, no, because I have a very kind of
blondy kind of mustache.
Yeah, you need like dark, like facial hair
for a good moustache.
You've got cool guy,
uh, roady kind of mustache, I can imagine now.
Handelbar.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
I like it. I would love to have a thick
handlebar mustache.
I'm loving these compliments.
If I thought I would.
It's a great.
audio medium as well
wow you guys are so
fucking hot
aren't we
anyway well Jason's dad also
well I guess not anymore
but like rocked a pipe
once or recently
we were talking about
you're outing his dad
as a crackhead
no
he was on that pipe
yo
you heard rocking pipe
and you made your own decisions
now the mullet
and mustache combo
makes sense
he's a cracker
I would tell everyone
if you want your kid
to be skinny and attractive
smoke crack
it's a surefire way
let's talk about
the movie
yeah okay
well an interesting
about the movie
is
it's nearly over guys
don't worry
is the movie
was meant to be
way more like
let's take out
these fucking British
scum
hell yeah
baby
you jukka
do you know
and then like
them doing like cool shit
yeah
but then the American
studio were like
it's actually kind of
like
it was very close
to the peace process
actually like
getting signed
yeah yeah
So studios were like, we don't really want to be the cause of the next Civil War, you know that.
So they're like, let's do the love story.
They know they could have had a great market in Ireland.
Yeah.
This movie's so good at cause Civil War.
So instead they're like, let's focus on the love angle.
Yeah.
And the friendship between him and Devil Air and all that.
So who do they get to, Kitty?
And Julia Roberts is.
Yeah.
It's better than fucking others, though.
Have you ever seen Cameron Diaz?
in Gangs of New York
Yeah
Oh no
But that's
Is that Irish American
Or does she actually play Irish
In that?
She's like
They're Irish immigrants
Come over to America
But they're trying to
Oh my God
She might be trying to fit in
Like I do
And that's why my accent's bastardised
That like
But like
Julia Roberts
Definitely did like
Right
I'm gonna do this accent
Try her best
You're like
Oh
Your smile
Isn't gonna get you
through a horrible accent.
I mean, it's not great,
but I would agree that it's not the worst either.
I've heard way worse.
I've heard worse, yeah.
People tell me you sound American,
like to me that I am an American.
That means you're autistic.
Does it?
Yeah.
I knew it.
I'm glad you said to me.
That's the only diagnosis I need.
That's how they kind of break it to you.
Like, you're,
you sound American?
Yeah.
We're going to give you respital all and Ritalin because you sound American.
Just take it.
But so I'm trying to find my way into a Ritalin prescription.
for someone who has it but doesn't want it.
It's tricky.
It's tricky.
You can get there.
He's got to do some paperwork and stuff.
No, I know some Americans who have moved back home who've left me an Adderall prescription.
Exactly same.
I don't make a prescription, but a girl gave me a load of Adderall and now she's a lesbian.
Make it that which you will.
I'm a bit afraid to touch it now.
Did you date her for like two months?
A big farmer here they still have you killed.
I want to start liking pussy.
Yeah, the film.
So the film was nice.
96 and then the Good Friday Agreement's 98.
So yeah, they are very close together.
So that's why they decided to, you know,
be a bit more measured with the portrayal.
Well, that was one more thing about Jerry Adams
and the Good Friday Agreement.
James Warren told me recently that like,
because there's multiple copies of it.
And on several copies, he signed his name like Jerry Adams,
X-O-X-X-O, like Gossip Girl.
Lolls, bids, for Evs, Jerry Adams.
You will not believe what happened.
Yeah, well, you know, because we're talking.
And just like that, the Good Friday Agreement happened.
he became a meme lord obviously afterwards
but rarely even in 1996
XOXO bit of a prankster
he saw it coming
like Bill Gibson
I thought of a very good point
Why when I'm in the hot tub
Why won't you give me
A free independent Irish state
And blow me
When I said blow
I didn't mean OMA
There we go
There it is
It's worth it now
We're firing all cylinders now
Just before we end
Let's start the podcast
I'd have a good point
it's probably not a good point.
I have to run it by you guys
because you're learned men.
It's interesting that.
I would prefer if you'd stop saying that.
Yeah.
An American studio had to make Michael Collins
because an Irish studio wouldn't
or an English one definitely.
No.
It has to be an American
would have that bit of attachment
where they can't have him be a bit cool
and badass and the ladies,
Don Draper type, you know.
But it's also like quite big in scope.
I don't think in the 90s.
Yeah.
In the 90s, an Irish film
like production company or studio
couldn't have imagined
couldn't have
managed to pull that off
I thought opening
fucking GPO scene
is huge
you know what I mean
and there's a lot of big
set pieces like that
so it gives it
a bit more gravitas
I think
there's a TV movie
that was made
about three years before
with a certain
Mr. Brendan Gleason
playing Michael Collins
and it's very cheap
and they can't help it
like but it's like
the general
to
or reason criminal
well it's good quality
but it's more like
it's play in a way
or it's just like we're in one room
room. Now we're in other room.
You know, there's no explosions or like, cool.
Like, it's a bit where he dropped down, he's attached the wires.
They're in the GPO, but they've got super-soakers, you know.
I mean, there's no need to go over the top with the explosions, but like a lot of it is
set during a war.
Yeah.
And I'm sure, yeah, the Irish player would just be them returning from something and being like,
wow, we saw some action out there, didn't we boys?
G-wiz.
G-wizz occurs.
When those bullets came flying, I sure felt it.
As a film overall, like, regardless of what many people will take issue with is the historical
accuracy and the liberties they take, which I'm not even
fully aware of all the things that they
get wrong or, you know, lie about.
Could you give me a quick rundown of that?
Well, just one thing we touched on it.
The Good Friday, isn't that what?
Oh no, what's it? The Bad Sunday? What was that?
Bloody Sunday? Yeah, it's a bad Sunday.
Well, yeah, because there was two bloody Sundays.
There was Bloody Sunday in Crowe Park.
Yes.
That they show of the film and then Bloody Sunday in the 70s
in Derry or whatever that? Right, right, yeah, yeah.
But you would think that all.
of a sudden like people go oh there's been a historical day named after this yeah you shouldn't
use that again yeah jiz they really phoned it in with the second one was like just call it bloody
sunday again people were still annoyed about the last ones like bloody sunday too which by the way is a
quite good film if i recall the paul greengrass one with uh james james jesbitt yeah excellent
very good underrated now we're actually getting into proper films they actually shot a lot of it
in bally mon very close to where i live now like you can
see the flats and all in it, but it's very
like sort of handheld running
gun, shaky camera, but it really works
aesthetically. I was going to say
Greengrass loves
the shaky... Yeah, that's kind of
his whole thing. He kind of got a bit distracted by
Bourne, but... Yeah, yeah, he
went a bit over... Yeah, yeah. But he
has some very good stuff in his filmography
back in the day, like, oh, great TV movies
that no one's seen, that's just free on YouTube.
Yeah. There's a great one about the murder of
Stephen Lawrence. Yeah, it's great.
Yeah, it was a black guy who got
battered by like, I think
like six like white guys
and then like the police were like so
just like, oh yeah, we'll investigate that eventually.
He's a great film about
or a documentary about some guy
running on the LA highway
on PCP
like trying to, with a gun, trying to like stop
traffic. I think it's called
Martin Lauren.
Was he on PCP? I heard it
was heat exhaustion. I've been lied.
I heard it was weed and you're like,
no, no.
yeah he was like in his underwear waving a gun screaming they're trying to kill me is like he was talking about the critics after big mama's house you know they're trying to kill me there's only one thing that'll get people to stop talking about big mama's house too and you're not going to like it but yeah michael collins the film how do you feel about it apart from you know as a film itself
the one bit that we did before was the breaking out of um like breaking dev out of lincoln chair prison yeah he yeah was he at the key melted with the candle was that
that all bullshit or is that
apparently that's all true
I suppose they think they don't
reveal their tactics
but then the bit
they haven't dressed up
as a woman
I was going to say
who were in for Ireland
yeah
apparently that never happened
but that might just be
Dave trying to scrubble it
from the history
I wasn't a whore
for six years
the way he's like
you know he got out
of the 1960
executions
because he was a yank
that's called for
a big dirty holler
the yank likes to wank
he just ended up
in that prison
coincidentally on different charges
he just went
sissy up in the big house like
Mama make you feel so good, Bobby?
Chronologically, he horde
for Ireland and then about four
months afterwards we broke him out.
I was working
a long game, boys.
You were working the long shore.
It is called strategy
Michael if you would listen to
me just for God's sake, Dev.
You're liking them off like
it's nobody's business.
They like it when I wear the
glasses?
it's a good episode
I'm happy with this now
we haven't really
they make me look like Mia Khalifa
Michael Collins
no well so
I always thought it was interesting
that I think doesn't make me an obvious answer for it
but like how obsessed everyone is
with the JFK execution
there's no real Irish
conspiracies about Michael Collins
hit me let's do it
Brian's getting
I gotta put a belt in his mouth
when he gets like this
that table's getting very
say in a second ago it's a good episode
he was just lying but now he's interested
he's into it yeah the Guardian okay
and other publications but English publications
now okay that's why it actually matters
like about three months ago
apparently there's lots of new stuff about
his assassination and there's like a book
coming out just meant to like lift a lid on it
and he's like talked to it because no one
it's funny because if you're investigating this
there's a lot of people who just never been talked
there's documents is lying around
like sign confessions is lying around
that no one like cares about
so like do people even know who did it
Like, who pulled the trigger?
I think, because I've brought this up a few times about why it's crazy.
Oh, no, yeah, we've been through this.
It's Jonathan Rees-Meyers did it.
Yeah, because they've fully showed in the film.
Yeah, that it's just some young fellow, played by Jonathan Rees-Myers.
And I think...
Played?
Oh.
It was.
He was also in a film where he played one of those, the Shankill Butchers.
Remember those guys?
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
He was also meant to be in a film where he played Michael Jackson, but...
Ah.
Some people didn't like the blackface.
Fair enough.
Fair enough.
I think it's because they know who did it.
Okay.
But maybe it's just local knowledge.
And so what's, is there a conspiratorial angle to it?
Well, the biggest conspiracy is Dev.
The Dev did it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Which isn't really a conspiracy because they were like an open warfare at the time.
Sure.
Yeah.
It wouldn't make sense if he killed them.
Apparently in the movie, they shot a whole scene that very specifically said
Dev didn't do it.
Oh, didn't do it.
Yeah, didn't do it.
Don't do it.
And they cut that.
They cut that.
So, like, it's not, it's not, it's not, no, it's not
sintillating, it's not sexy.
This wouldn't play into Rickman's character.
He demanded to have a cut.
No, but it's interesting.
Yeah, just for the amount of obsession we have over different associations.
Yeah, look, September came out like,
could new evidence help Ireland learn who kill Michael Collins?
Because it's coming up to the 100 years.
Yeah.
It is, but also it's one of those things of, like,
anyone who still cares about that?
I care.
It's fascinating.
I would like to.
to know but
you've realized
that pretty quickly
anyone who cares
will go to
get emotionally
invested
we can just leave
that in the past
pump the break
yeah it's definitely
something that wouldn't
help anyone
if it came out now
yeah
like it nobody
it really wouldn't
benefit anyone
to know
but the fact
he was killed
I don't
yeah like a stone
straw away from
where he was born
who was killed
by his own men
yeah
there's a theory
here
that it was actually
one of
Colin's
AIDS
his aid
that existed back
yeah
it was him
and Padrick Pierce
that's why
his missus
had such a problem
with it
yeah
so there's a theory
that it was
Emmett Dalton
okay
now some theories
say they did on purpose
some say it was
accident
how would it be an accident
like
that was the only joke
that it was Rick O'Shea
he got hit the accident
that's funny
hey you know
it's a hundred years old
but it's still good
an oldie but a goodie
you know
the classics never go out of style
well is that Irish DJ
yeah
ricochet
that was always a joke
that's not his name
oh really
yeah
oh shit really
yeah
man that's so dumb
this an artist
called Frank Quietly
and I didn't understand
for ages
he's meant Frank
quitely
I thought it was wank
quietly
no Frank I said it wrong
Frank
Frank quietly
okay what's the joke there
i thought i was sorry what frank quietly
i believe quite frankly
yeah so it's frank quietly okay
yeah yeah okay
and i'm a big fan of his work like
it's only like recently i was watching
a documentary about him like and he was talking about
like yeah his name's like richard mcdonald or something like that
and I was like what's going on
punch the laptop in disgust
he's a very good artist
his name's Jerry Adams
yeah I've got two separate artistic
endeavors
like
Banksy
that's also
Jerry Adams
I'm convinced
like years ago
I saw like
a puff piece
at the end of the
news
where like
they'd found
a bankruptcy
and they were like
well we all know
who he is
but it was a time
where he wasn't
big enough
for anyone
to give a shit
yeah
but I'm pretty sure
they knew who he was
a decade ago
one of the lads
for a massive attack
yeah
yeah yeah
that's one of the big
periods
yeah
he's in Bristol
this evening
He was a shit.
He did, same four paintings for the last 20 years.
Like, whoa, capitalism is bad.
Rubbish in the park, maybe not so good.
I just, did you ever hear of five points?
Five points?
Yeah.
It's the New York base.
Like, they had a whole, like, a city block wherever of, like.
Talk about that in gangs of New York, the five points.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But nowadays, that's before this, though, that they used to go and, like,
just do a bunch of, like, they basically had a whole city block,
or like this, like, dilapidated area.
where they were let graffiti artists go and just do whatever you want.
And not only outside the buildings,
but the buildings themselves were dilapidated.
So inside all the buildings,
they were like a bunch of like graffiti artists doing all of that.
And it was like years and years of work for everyone.
Yeah.
And then the guy who owned it was like,
oh, I can sell it for a like a fucking hotel.
Burn it to the ground.
Just demolish it all.
And like were the government paying the artists and stuff?
no one was paying the artist.
You're just like,
your man who owned it was like,
right,
it's a dilapidated area.
Let's just like,
let them go out of it
because we can't make money
from it elsewhere.
So they would let them do that.
And then right at the point of the owner going,
oh,
we're about to sell it.
They go,
we're bringing it to like the,
like,
I don't know what the high court is.
Yeah.
I want to call it the high court.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But then they all reached out to Banksy.
Okay.
Who was at the time doing
a month-long sojourn.
Wait, now, hang on,
stop the record.
What?
He was in New York for a month.
Every day he was doing a new piece.
Right.
I remember that time, yeah.
Yeah, he was every single day in New York,
a new piece.
He was doing a new Banksy exhibit,
but every day was a separate part.
And they kept reaching out to him going,
could you come down here
because it's like 20 years,
or whatever it is,
of like, historic...
New York graffiti.
And if you put something there,
then they won't destroy it.
And then at the very end of it,
he'd finish his 30 days, and he didn't come
down, and then once someone whitewashed
the whole thing, he just put up a thing.
Maybe it was a day before they whitewashed
it, but he was like,
man, that's some bullshit.
By the way, I just bought that property
and there's a no hotel coming.
I put up a picture of a rat with a wallet,
and he's looking over his shoulder.
I mean, for somebody who rags on capitalism
him as much. He does very well
on the back of it. I remember he sold that painting
and it destroyed itself.
He won't shredded itself.
So instead of it just being some
shit painting, everybody in the world
saw it and it's now in shredded form
worth way more than it was made.
Yeah, he got sold. Yeah, I think he might
have known what he was up to there.
He probably sold every shred
for a million quick. No, whoever it just bought it
was like, oh, all of a sudden my painting is worth
infinite more time. Like, aren't they
insured as well when you buy big art pieces?
No, he didn't, no one bought it.
No, because someone had just bought it and then when it was
paid for it was shreds. That's a good goof.
Yeah, no, but then, but the shredded form
everyone saw, it's now way more famous
than the unsreaded one. That's definitely hanging in this thing.
He actually did build a hotel in Palestine.
Oh, did he? Yeah, it was kind of a big
art piece where there was like stuff on all the
walls and like, I think he had like statues
of like, you know, dead people and something like that.
He was like, Israelis are great.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what they need over there. Social
commentary, man. Stop being so uppity.
I mean, that's how you be subversive in the
modern day, go to Palestine, build
a hotel and says, fuck you,
Abe's, Israel
Rocks.
If you don't get it, you don't
like art. Yeah, yeah.
We all have, like, rockets
being launched in our children's faces.
Grow up. Get a job.
The rocket of capitalism.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm trying to give a good way to end this.
What, is it not,
on the Israel-Palestine conflict?
Give it back to the Moors.
It's a nice little in-between
of, you know, Michael Collins,
Israel-Palestine.
And then Michael Collins again, yeah.
Yes.
Was there more
one question you wanted to ask us
about Michael Collins? I'm trying to think right now actually
there is but I've forgotten it now because we're having good
fun to be honest. What about the answer to your
question? How would you feel? Do you reckon he should
have pushed harder for the full 32?
Oh yes yes exactly yeah
because he was said like oh I've signed my own debt
warrants. Now you think
like that was the right choice
that should have held out and you've been like you know
I mean I ain't playing this shit all or
nothing. Yeah I think he
yeah I think it's probably all he could have done
yeah I think that's the end of day like I think
people are a bit like yeah we put up a fucking fight here it's like yeah well you're ireland you know
you can do a certain amount but also i think like in terms of like resistance and like you know
by any means necessary i mean he did literally more than anyone ever you know he really like put
his life on the line to do it oh oh oh look how excited bro i remember the cool fact you know what
he was big into when he was young model trade no wrestling oh yeah he was mad into wrestling yeah
Well, for other, I'm gonna come down.
Vince of Man's dad and Branda kind of said to rest of him.
He was like mankind, yeah, yeah.
In the ring, three minutes for 32 counties.
They only lasted two minutes.
It's gonna be a cage mass.
Oh, God, they've killed him.
They've shot him in their face.
Oh, look at those puppies, J.R.
Good God, Collins's brains is on the tarmac.
And it's dev.
with the devil.
It's a heart brother
coming in on a sling.
Oh no,
that's the end
of the Irish Republic.
He was like a legit champ,
like, yeah, yeah.
So like Greek,
Olympic type wrestling.
What you call it,
collegian wrestling?
Yeah,
the actual traditional type.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That,
the UFC, that's kind of like that.
Yeah.
No, it's wrong.
We, yeah, we've done
episodes before on the collar
collar and elbow.
Yeah.
Which is just like,
Irish lads clenching up and kicking
each other in the shins.
Wait, what?
It was like the number one sport
before G.A.
Yeah, it was like an old wrestling style.
Shin kicking.
Yeah, yeah.
Rabin Kotler's skin kicking.
It's a combination of like
Muay clinching
and then shin kicking.
It hurts.
I mean, if you've been kicking the shin,
you know, it's smarts.
Yeah, and then your shins hurt
and someone elbows you in the face.
Yeah.
Is there any kind of lads now
they're trying to bring that back?
Because there should be like.
We can try and video it.
Yeah.
that's what we need now
new direction for the podcast
shin kicking
might be good for you
what
if it came down to it now
you know
I could do some damage
you're good too
but you know
it's getting that time
the night now
we're near to the end
but like
riddling
lad
Ritalin
Riddlin
Oh Riddlin
Yeah
What's that mean
I'll see
I thought you were the movie buffs
Riddlin
A fun quote from the film
What film
when he take
from Michael Collins
When he takes him
Oh Riddlin is in shooting
Oh yeah
I don't want to be here
About ye riddling boys
Yeah yeah yeah
That's right
Yeah
Because they shot your man like ten times
He's like one bullet
Would have done
Because they couldn't afford to
He was very stingy
He wasn't he was
He was a penny pincher
He was a realist
He wasn't walking around
With big fur coat
And he hated lads
With ADHD
He was like
You're too on the ball
But this might be fun
To end it
This guy's been trying to end it
this guy's been trying to end it for the last hour
I've got a pot noodle here I want to eat
No he's trying to end it for the last like 10 years
He just gets it every so often
Someone gives him a compliment
He's edging, go on
What's the show?
Let's say Netflix announced
A Michael Collins mini series
Who would you want to see directing it
Who do you want to see playing the big roles
Now
Yeah
It might be fun to get Liam Neeson back
To play like maybe Michael Collins's dad
Or something like that
Give him a row
Yeah, just Michael Collins
No, Liam Neeson, does he have a son?
That seems to be pretty big in Hollywood now.
It does.
Oh, no, yeah, Jesus.
Leem Neeson named his firstborn son after our producer.
Oh, yes, after Dan.
Oh, yeah, should we get, yeah, get Dan Neeson.
You guys have a producer?
Yeah.
What?
You got your old Robin?
We say that he's here occasionally.
Yes.
Is he looking for work?
We can't pay him, but we have a lot of content.
We pay them in the Michael Collins film.
Yeah.
Dan, our producer, one of my good friends.
Seemingly, he was, like, on set, and they were doing some, like, shootout scene,
and he would not stop crying, but it was a time of Ireland when they were, like,
you've got to let people come down and look, because people, like, local people want to have a gawk.
Wait, what set was this on?
Michael Collins.
Oh, wow.
Who was crying?
Our friend, Dan.
What, Dan was crying?
Oh, he was a child, wasn't it?
Yeah, he was a baby.
Right.
I thought he meant Liam Neeson was crying.
I was like, what?
Her pussy.
No, but he did.
Pussy bro.
Pussy, yo.
But Liam
came over to the crying child
and was like,
I've got a particular set of skills.
I can,
I can just go shawl
and was like
rub a baby back and forth
when he stops crying.
What's his name?
He's just falling asleep.
What's his name?
It's Dan.
Do you want
Liam Neeson's firstborn child
is called?
Oh, Dan?
Yeah.
Oh.
good guess
yeah that's a good story
to be honest i was trying to think of
to your question who'd be good cast and choices
for devalera
uh tom von loller
yes there's a good
yes i got the ball rolling
there is oh you've set in stone
yeah yeah fucking come on
hit me up midge
you guarantee then the tom van loder would be
devalera and aiden gillan would be
michael collins he's too old though i know but that's what they do
yeah you're right
rtie would cream themselves or yeah
no sam keely it'd be a good
you can have anyone lads think big here i'd have i'd have sam keely have anyone
jack o'connor who's that he's some some con oh wait
you mean do you mean jack renner yeah whoever like yeah the rugby player for lynch jacks
jack redner might be good actually um timidie shardomane has both he's fucking cast he's in
everything he's uh emo wonka now yeah hemo willie wonka okay emo wonka oh no i didn't know
your man who played
what the fuck is his name
your man who was
Bob Geldof in
the fucking
the Wexford guy
Donald Gleason
No no no
He'd be a good one too
Actually yeah
Or Brian
Look anyway
Whatever
You're like
You're Ari and I'm the Asian
No the Freddie Mercury
Biopic
Oh Robbie Malick
No no no
The Irish guy who played
Bob Geldof
In Wexford
Okay
In what?
He used to be in Raw
If you ever watch
Raw. Never watch Raw. I wasn't allowed watch
Raw. But there was a monon actress
in Raw, Charlene McKenna.
What up, girl, is you boy?
I like the clinic. Think four levels
down from that, but only in
raw. Right.
But he...
We're trying to make this a success here.
You're not fair
good at this. This guy might be big.
He played fucking Bob Geldof.
No, we want to establish names. We're not going to
break someone. Like even Tom von
Lawler, that's our, like, that's a small
name again. That's our safety. If we
can't get who we really want.
Charlie Cox had a really good.
Charlie Cox, yeah, that's a good one.
Yeah, he's a good Irish accent.
He just did the best Irish accent
of the entire series he was in.
So who's directing this?
Who do you want to see?
Probably Lenny Abrams some, you know?
Yes.
That'd be a good one.
Lenny, get Lenny back?
Lenny, that's a good choice, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
He might make it too artistic, though.
Maybe.
I'm looking for something a bit more gritch, you know.
Okay.
John O'Connor
The Traveller
Yeah, yeah
Who's playing
Kitty then
Who's playing the piece of ass
Minage?
Nicky Minaj
No, who's the one?
I mean
Sandia
It's kind of taken
liberties with history
But the one from Ken
that played the son's girlfriend
Oh yeah
Oh my God
She's like so hot
It's insane
Man I would
She like worked at a credit union
And somebody walked in
Like hey you
Come with me now
You're gonna be in a TV show
you look gorgeous and you don't have four inches of makeup on
you're going to be a celebrity
Searsherroman? Searsheronen? No, okay. That's the dumb
choice. Sorry, no, thank you. I'm just saying
it's the practical, practical choice. Yeah. No, I'm on Brian's side here
now. That girl, as soon as she became famous, was like, well, I'm not from Cardo.
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, she has a real turnt code for you guys. I know where her fucking mother lives,
okay? And also, is it. And I will act. We can end it on this now.
Oh, I've got a story.
You tell this.
I might end on a letter story.
Go ahead.
Her air code is.
There's a lad in my school who showed her his cock when he was in primary school.
She was also in primary school.
It was all legal.
Well, maybe legal is not the word, but, you know.
It was all above board.
Well, so my story is older than that and also is not sexual.
But my brother was working.
Why you can tell it then?
My brother was working in the Carlo's Cinema at the time.
but she came up
the da who was in
he was in love hate as a side character
he was in the clinic at the time
as a main character
but not great particularly
his daughter was amazing
Sershia
oh okay
right right right
but whenever she would come home then
after like clearly within the years of like
13 to 15 16 or whatever
she was going to St. Leo's
Brian and Lobat they're the girls who wouldn't talk to him
I was literally about to say that
every week
James let's wrap this up
I need to get to Leo's before lunchtime
I got a pot noodle
I'm going to win him over
but he called up the cinema
as she was going there
after like being Oscar nominated
her dad called up
and was like
yeah Surchas's coming now
so if you could just like
you've got bouncers wherever
it's a carlo cinema
so they've got bouncers
Sure, yeah.
Bulletproof glass.
Starproof vest.
Like an Asian convenience store in certain places.
You're not showing the Oscars?
You'll buy popcorn now and get out.
God, I hate this cinema.
Sersha, you sound different.
He said, no wrong.
I'm going to get a game.
I'm trying to win an Oscar.
Yeah, see, you say it's bad, but you laugh every time.
Go on.
But then her dad called up going,
Sarsha's coming up now to the cinema.
If you could just like find a ways
she doesn't get like accosted by a lot of people.
And nobody in Carole knows who she is.
Yeah, nobody gave a shit.
Wait, you were in,
what are the films she was nominated for?
Atonment.
No one in Carole saw that.
They were like, bad boys fight.
The local Carlo rendition.
Yeah.
But that she came up to the counter.
Okay.
And as her and.
her friend came up there
Oscar nominated
and said well
I paid for the pizza
so if you want to get the tickets
I will listen
and that's enough for me
I'm glad you said that
because that's enough for me
you take the woman out of carlo
but you can't take and dot dot dot
you're never too big to get
a cinema ticket bought for you though
in fairness now Oscar nominated or not
the cinema is a fucking rip off
we can all agree on that
she got nominated
You don't get paid for me nominated.
Yeah, exactly.
What's she been up to recently?
She had Lady Bird.
No, and she's in a bunch.
Little women?
Little women, yeah.
Little dimming or whatever it's got women, yeah.
No, she's great.
It's just that whole thing of a hope, Brian.
Also, you were meant to ride in
Howard behind me.
Oh, yeah, you're right.
She's a fucking whore.
Yeah, yeah.
What age is she actually?
A whole, legal, yeah, yeah.
That's important.
Too old for Brian, anyway.
She's older than you, right?
I think so, yeah, yeah.
by like a year or something like that yeah it's probably like 26 27 around then yeah she's not 30 yet
right once she hits 30 she'll be working in that carlo's cinema that would be quite funny you
see her mopping up like so oh well well well well well well well well well well no it's it's the main
reason i have a problem with her it's not because of any of that it's because of the fact that
as soon as she became famous that she had said i don't really know where i'm from did she say that
Yeah. She was like, I'm kind of New York. I'm kind of Dublin. I'm kind of Irish. But I'm being everywhere. And she never said Carlo. I saw her in Stephen Colbert. She didn't mention Carlo once. Yeah, one time. What about the chipper? You. Trailer. Cafe Roma right across the street. That's in between the two bins. I'm sitting you eyes like, foundry. Foundry.
She like fucking pulls over top to show a Carlo Jersey and starts shouting Carlo Rising. You boys won't be happy.
Our audience wouldn't have got that
Okay, but we would have
Yeah, yeah, it would have been for the people back home
But yeah, I think we need to
That's probably
It's been a great time being the podcast guys
Yeah, let's do an outro
Let's do an outro
Let's do an outro
But I just want a real quick
One time shout out James Bourne
Because he literally just text
He texts me said, give me a shout out
