                                        How long have you been doing comedy?
                                         
                                        I started in 2017 or 18.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        I mean, I was kind of
                                         
                                        trying to hope to sort of build
                                         
                                        to this and weave it in,
                                         
    
                                        but I'll just throw it in now.
                                         
                                        You and I actually met each other
                                         
                                        probably about 10 years ago now, right?
                                         
                                        Yeah, we studied film together.
                                         
                                        In Colosch de Doolig, we were in a PLC course together.
                                         
                                        It was me, well, it wasn't just me and you.
                                         
                                        There was other people there.
                                         
                                        Put the red-headed fellas together.
                                         
    
                                        But, yeah, we were in class with Al Forin, the famous impressionist and comedian.
                                         
                                        So wait a man, now, this is crazy to me, because this is the side of James' life I don't know about.
                                         
                                        So this is like, I'm uncovering something here.
                                         
                                        Go for it.
                                         
                                        Much like Spotlight, I'm uncovering something here, and I don't like it at all.
                                         
                                        so you two were
                                         
                                        called PLC together
                                         
                                        yeah yeah yeah it was film production

                                        a couple of lectures
                                         
                                        and one another like one of our lectures
                                         
                                        actually went on to be quite successful
                                         
                                        his name's Frank Barry
                                         
                                        yeah he directed Michael Inside
                                         
                                        and a bunch of other movies
                                         
                                        Michael Inside that's the prison movie
                                         
    
                                        yeah that's right yeah yeah
                                         
                                        and he got an award for his
                                         
                                        documentary Ballymon Lullaby
                                         
                                        Ballymon Lullaby
                                         
                                        What's that about the arts festival
                                         
                                        but the arts community in
                                         
                                        Balim to try change the image I think
                                         
                                        of the area. Basically, I think it focuses on
                                         
    
                                        like a community choir practice
                                         
                                        and stuff like that and it sort of juxtaposes
                                         
                                        with the you know
                                         
                                        the reputation Balimann has as a rough area
                                         
                                        so it's a really good documentary
                                         
                                        and we actually, it was weird because
                                         
                                        while he was making it, he was
                                         
                                        teaching, like we, you know, he was
                                         
    
                                        teaching us and then like some weeks he'd be away
                                         
                                        because he'd be over literally in Hollywood
                                         
                                        shopping it around to producers
                                         
                                        and then he'd come back and tell us
                                         
                                        about the meetings
                                         
                                        which was like crazy type of inside
                                         
                                        it was like it was very interesting
                                         
                                        he said like you go over
                                         
    
                                        and you meet these people
                                         
                                        and you've always sort of have it in your head
                                         
                                        that there's the artistic people
                                         
                                        and the business people
                                         
                                        but now they've like merged
                                         
                                        where the artistic people
                                         
                                        are very business driven also
                                         
                                        with sort of like you have to be able
                                         
    
                                        to do both simultaneously
                                         
                                        if you want to have any hope
                                         
                                        he also talked about what's the like the walk
                                         
                                        of fame that whole area. He said it was
                                         
                                        very dirty and grimy. I've heard
                                         
                                        it smells like piss. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm the only thing
                                         
                                        I know about Hollywood. I do remember
                                         
                                        it, so it was the start of second year
                                         
    
                                        in college, he came back and he just won
                                         
                                        the awards and the awards got him to go
                                         
                                        over to L.A. So he came back, he was telling us
                                         
                                        about what the meetings were, like, coming back and forth.
                                         
                                        And I remember him saying, it's like, you're actually looking at
                                         
                                        people and they're looking at you, and

                                        Or whatever

                                        But it was very
                                         
                                        Like popular
                                         
                                        And well received at the time
                                         
    
                                        All right
                                         
                                        As far as I know
                                         
                                        He hasn't really
                                         
                                        done much else
                                         
                                        of significant. That's why we can't remember his name.
                                         
                                        When he did with Michael Sheen, I don't know,
                                         
                                        whatever. But again, I remember the one part
                                         
                                        from that was that he was basically telling us
                                         
    
                                        about how haunting it is to work for just the
                                         
                                        ads companies. Because you're like creatively
                                         
                                        boxed in. And he made
                                         
                                        the Bulmer's ads where it did, when
                                         
                                        the pair came out, there was like
                                         
                                        the same characters and all the ads, but when the pair,
                                         
                                        Bulmers came out that they wanted to
                                         
                                        smash the pair. And they were like, you can't
                                         
    
                                        destroy the image of the product we're trying to bring out.
                                         
                                        But it was so funny.
                                         
                                        The way the guy did it in the ad, they were like, he had the
                                         
                                        fight to keep it
                                         
                                        and it ended up
                                         
                                        being a huge seller
                                         
                                        for the product
                                         
                                        and well I don't
                                         
    
                                        think they even make it
                                         
                                        anymore now

                                        I have to tell you about this,
                                         
                                        got a story about this local shop
                                         
                                        where the fella robbed his own place
                                         
                                        with a young thief
                                         
                                        because he was like,

                                        So we had to come in
                                         
    
                                        where the owner had a samurai sword
                                         
                                        and the kid came in with a hammer
                                         
                                        and he brought the kid outside
                                         
                                        and he was like, look,
                                         
                                        I'll show you to rob a place
                                         
                                        and he brought him in and he comes in
                                         
                                        and I come out and just like the guy that works there.
                                         
                                        And we rob me together.
                                         
    
                                        The owner and the kid robbed the place together.
                                         
                                        they go outside and he goes give me all the money and he hits the kid and he goes get the
                                         
                                        fuck out here on your bike and he goes back into his shop and while that's all happening the radio
                                         
                                        interview is like one guy's telling the other about that it happened yeah and he's like this didn't

                                        had a ritual began.
                                         
    
                                        Although like that never happened in Carlow.
                                         
                                        I've never tried to actually put on a show
                                         
                                        and ask my community come to it.
                                         
                                        So that's the community.
                                         
                                        What do you mean?
                                         
                                        What's the community?
                                         
                                        People do you grow up with?
                                         
                                        I keep well away from them.
                                         
    
                                        I honestly like I walk around with a knife
                                         
                                        and if they ever come near me.
                                         
                                        I'm from like Artane and Coolock and I do
                                         
                                        Because of the schools I would know like everyone in the area
                                         
                                        So I think if I put on a show and I tried to invite
                                         
                                        Like all friends and family
                                         
                                        Like look I'm putting on a big show

                                        I think I could possibly pull that off
                                         
                                        Yes
                                         
                                        But I've never actually tried that
                                         
                                        Yeah

                                        I think if I worked
                                         
                                        I actually did try like my kind of local
                                         
                                        where I used to go drinking back in Monaghan,
                                         
                                        the owner was like, oh, here, let's put on a stand-up show
                                         
                                        or whatever, and I tried to do it
                                         
    
                                        and, like, 12 people came.
                                         
                                        I didn't know about this. When was this?
                                         
                                        Oh, I was like, just before the pandemic,
                                         
                                        I think. But, like, your man didn't advertise it
                                         
                                        or anything, and there was also a DJ on
                                         
                                        downstairs, proper blaring.
                                         
                                        So it was just, yeah, it was bad.
                                         
                                        Yeah, I worked in a few clubs where, like,
                                         
    
                                        if you were just trying to tell jokes,
                                         
                                        and you just say,
                                         
                                        I'm the fire starter, twisty fire starter.

                                        Yeah because his mom is American

                                        And like move over there for years
                                         
    
                                        Some people called Santry the Vegas of Dublin
                                         
                                        Not anyone I know
                                         
                                        Also a lot of hoars
                                         
                                        Hors and junkies

                                        So when he picked us up
                                         
                                        In Vegas we spent like
                                         
                                        He was there for a couple of nights
                                         
    
                                        He spent one night there
                                         
                                        And then we drove from Vegas through the Grand Canyon
                                         
                                        And then back to LA
                                         
                                        Which was like we stayed somewhere in like Joshua Tree
                                         
                                        I think
                                         
                                        Oh wow
                                         
                                        Really terrible with the directions here
                                         
                                        Yeah
                                         
    
                                        there's too much going on here
                                         
                                        It's crazy
                                         
                                        But it's just because it was
                                         
                                        Once in a lifetime
                                         
                                        And there's a good reason to this story
                                         
                                        So when we were driving back
                                         
                                        I think from Joshua Tree
                                         
                                        After we stayed in an Airbnb
                                         
    
                                        We drove back
                                         
                                        And the journey was like
                                         
                                        Fucking nine hours
                                         
                                        Yeah
                                         
                                        Yeah yeah yeah
                                         
                                        And when we ran out of like
                                         
                                        Stuff to talk about
                                         
                                        We listened to a podcast
                                         
    
                                        When that ended
                                         
                                        We were like just listening
                                         
                                        To a like just Coachella playlist
                                         
                                        Because that was on at the time
                                         
                                        Right right right
                                         
                                        And we took edibles
                                         
                                        I was looking out the window

                                        like once you actually get, like, for anyone who's
                                         
                                        listening, who's thinking about doing it, just do it.
                                         
                                        Don't. Do not do it.
                                         
                                        There's too many comedians. It's so
                                         
                                        much fun. No, I want you to
                                         
                                        step into the arena so I can
                                         
                                        feast on your blood, you
                                         
                                        little worm. You hear me?
                                         
    
                                        Whoever you are out there.
                                         
                                        Coward. Yeah, mad dog can.
                                         
                                        Let me off the leash.
                                         
                                        But yeah, yeah, yeah.
                                         
                                        No, but it is.
                                         
                                        Once you actually get the ball around,
                                         
                                        it's like, oh, this is fine.
                                         
                                        I mean, it's not.
                                         
    
                                        It's depressing and horrible.
                                         
                                        It's, oh, man.
                                         
                                        But it's fine.
                                         
                                        So the Dublin Comedy Festival.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Well, what's the crack with that then?
                                         
                                        So, this started two years ago.
                                         
                                        I think Moe O'Connell is the founder of it.
                                         
    
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        So there's no comedy,
                                         
                                        Moe O'Connell.
                                         
                                        You'll hear many Moes these days.
                                         
                                        I think it's short for Maureen.
                                         
                                        Okay.
                                         
                                        I think.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
    
                                        Okay.
                                         
                                        Fucking hell.
                                         
                                        Well, we all know where Brian sits.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        I'm not going your app festival.
                                         
                                        No, she's actually amazing.
                                         
                                        Like, she promotes all, it's all comedy.
                                         
                                        So, like, there's short films, there's feature films.
                                         
    
                                        I submitted a sketch to that.
                                         
                                        It did not get, it was not used.
                                         
                                        Yeah, the Christmas Karen one.
                                         
                                        I don't know.
                                         
                                        Too revolutionary for Yamo, was it?
                                         
                                        Yeah, no.
                                         
                                        No respect.
                                         
                                        Congratulations on the festival, and I wish you all the best.
                                         
    
                                        She's not going to listen to this.
                                         
                                        Who knows?
                                         
                                        When I share, maybe she will.
                                         
                                        Because she seems to like my work,
                                         
                                        because I put in a sketch last year called My Ghost is an Arse Hall.
                                         
                                        Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that was a good one.
                                         
                                        Best sketch at the festival.
                                         
                                        I haven't seen it.
                                         
    
                                        That's funny.
                                         
                                        Is these all available on YouTube?
                                         
                                        Yeah, just again, Red Sox Comedy on YouTube, Instagram and Facebook.

                                        No.
                                         
                                        Yeah, I've got like...
                                         
                                        Right now.
                                         
                                        48 sketches.
                                         
    
                                        Wow.
                                         
                                        I'm still working on more.
                                         
                                        Prolific.
                                         
                                        I remember you did kind of when, like, you sort of put up out of 50, right?
                                         
                                        60.
                                         
                                        So this is the thing.
                                         
                                        I start, well, again, when I came back from LA, I said, I'm just going to make stuff and start
                                         
                                        starting up.
                                         
    
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        So I said to myself, I'm going to make and put out a sketch once a week.
                                         
                                        And I did, because I didn't, when I came back from L.A. or whatever it was, when I started
                                         
                                        putting them out, it was somewhere to start of the year. So I managed to put out
                                         
                                        28 in a row. And then I stopped at Christmas. And it was, sometimes it was exhausting, but
                                         
                                        like I hired crews and I would edit them myself and just throw them out. I just wanted to
                                         
                                        learn. Like, I just threw myself in the deep end. Just, I was like, I'm just going to
                                         
                                        go for it. See what it's like. Yeah. And learned it hard. So I made 28 and I kept saying,
                                         
    
                                        I'll do 60. Because I thought the first 10 were like small, just a camera sketch. They weren't
                                         
                                        really properly
                                         
                                        because we have
                                         
                                        the film education
                                         
                                        I was like
                                         
                                        I didn't put that
                                         
                                        into it
                                         
                                        so I said I'll go
                                         
    
                                        to 60 not 50
                                         
                                        so I thought
                                         
                                        if I went in the new year
                                         
                                        when I started
                                         
                                        going again
                                         
                                        I would just do
                                         
                                        32 and then it'd be
                                         
                                        finished and then
                                         
    
                                        I'd maybe make a web series
                                         
                                        but once I stopped
                                         
                                        it was so hard
                                         
                                        to get going again
                                         
                                        that I would just put
                                         
                                        them out sporadically
                                         
                                        so now I'm on 48
                                         
                                        and I keep saying
                                         
    
                                        48 hour 60
                                         
                                        and I'll probably finish
                                         
                                        at 60 or else just
                                         
                                        keep going
                                         
                                        and I'll just call it
                                         
                                        like 61 hour 60

                                        that'll just be like
                                         
    
                                        a sort of tag
                                         
                                        I'll put on my sketches

                                        I tell you I was actually miserable during that
                                         
                                        because my girlfriend of five years
                                         
                                        had just dumped me right as we started
                                         
                                        I'm loving this first year
                                         
                                        so I was like heartbroken
                                         
    
                                        and devastated and then in second year
                                         
                                        I started having like vertigo
                                         
                                        and like I had to get like surgery
                                         
                                        on my right year so I missed a load of class
                                         
                                        so I was like really fucked up during that whole time
                                         
                                        Al was doing impressions of your ex-girlfriend
                                         
                                        This is what she looks like sucking a dick
                                         
                                        It's accurate Al but it's quite insensitive
                                         
    
                                        But you're not
                                         
                                        Al he's gotta love a girlfriend
                                         
                                        Are you sure
                                         
                                        But yeah no but
                                         
                                        Yeah so fucking I don't know why I brought that up
                                         
                                        What was I saying?
                                         
                                        What's the next step then
                                         
                                        The web series
                                         
    
                                        So we've got an idea for a web series
                                         
                                        We have an idea
                                         
                                        We have six episodes written
                                         
                                        And then we're applying for the
                                         
                                        Give me a little taste.
                                         
                                        What's the, what's going on?
                                         
                                        Give me some sugar.
                                         
                                        I'm actually not going to because we have, we, we like our idea.
                                         
    
                                        That's it.
                                         
                                        Even just, is it a comedy?
                                         
                                        No.
                                         
                                        No, it is.
                                         
                                        It is a comedy.
                                         
                                        It's a comedy.
                                         
                                        Drama?
                                         
                                        Drama, with a bit of action, I have to say.
                                         
    
                                        It's the biggest project we've, me and me, and we've put together.
                                         
                                        He writes, he's a film directly.
                                         
                                        He's made a bunch of short films and also is usually like a, like a DOP on my shorts all the time.
                                         
                                        Because we work as a crew.
                                         
                                        And my brother, Darra also acts.
                                         
                                        He's in a lot of them.
                                         
                                        sketches as well. When you say action
                                         
                                        now, obviously you don't want to see too much now.
                                         
    
                                        Are we talking about something that you're going like
                                         
                                        how the fuck am I going to do this?
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Are we talking to... Like you need some money behind it?

                                        so they don't play together
                                         
                                        no they don't
                                         
                                        they do separate
                                         
                                        they keep it segregated
                                         
                                        It's not couples tennis, no.
                                         
                                        I have the clue about this point.
                                         
                                        So the only reason bring this up is, because I went into his back story.
                                         
                                        So he's a big health freak.
                                         
    
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        But some of the stuff he was talking about, like, it's very like the mood, like vibes, basically, hippie shit, okay?
                                         
                                        So he was saying that if there's a glass of water, okay, if you yell the glass of water and call it names, it will turn green.
                                         
                                        Wow.
                                         
                                        It'll turn into Mountain Dew.
                                         
                                        Yeah, exactly.
                                         
                                        Awesome.
                                         
                                        But if you are loving to the glass.
                                         
    
                                        the water of the N word, you're going to get some soda.
                                         
                                        There was an experiment done
                                         
                                        that were a room full of plants.
                                         
                                        That there were literally screamed
                                         
                                        names at the plants.
                                         
                                        One room died and the other room perked up
                                         
                                        with compliments.
                                         
                                        That makes sense with it.
                                         
    
                                        I suppose maybe a tiny bit with plants.
                                         
                                        I think it's the energy they gave the plants.
                                         
                                        Because if you, you know what you can go to a dog?
                                         
                                        You stupid little fuck.
                                         
                                        And you, I fucking hate you. I'll view that.
                                         
                                        And the dog was like, oh, you're saying nice things.
                                         
                                        But I feel like if you use a negative tone and go,
                                         
                                        I fucking love you, you stupid fuck.
                                         
    
                                        They're like, oh no, I'm, oh, no.
                                         
                                        But, like, athletes are very superstitious, aren't they?
                                         
                                        They're all about, like, oh, moods and, like, oh, bad juju, bad vibes, you know,
                                         
                                        I got a hex on me, all that shit.
                                         
                                        So, a lot of fucking athletes aren't taking the vaccine.
                                         
                                        But the thing where he went wrong is he was very vocal about it.
                                         
                                        I was like, I'm not taking that vaccine.
                                         
                                        And then they kind of made an example out of them.
                                         
    
                                        But I think there are a lot of people who are flying under the radar pretending they got it, but they didn't actually.
                                         
                                        Like, in football at the moment, I think it's a very low amount of.
                                         
                                        people have taken the vaccine.
                                         
                                        Yeah, yeah.
                                         
                                        They're all calling up Joe Rogan and say,
                                         
                                        can I get some horse medicine, please?
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        So you went down, was there ever a moment
                                         
    
                                        where you were like,
                                         
                                        you've taken the tea and you believed it?
                                         
                                        Oh, yeah.
                                         
                                        Oh, I was deep.
                                         
                                        Because there's so much compelling videos made.
                                         
                                        Yes.
                                         
                                        I don't know if it's evidence,
                                         
                                        but like the craziest shit was like,
                                         
    
                                        the hardest thing to really swallow
                                         
                                        was like that Tom Hanks was a rapist.
                                         
                                        Yes.
                                         
                                        Right?
                                         
                                        So, but there was videos of his,
                                         
                                        he put up random videos
                                         
                                        pictures on his
                                         
                                        Instagram of lost clothing
                                         
    
                                        which was mostly gloves
                                         
                                        and he would always be like
                                         
                                        someone's hand is cold
                                         
                                        out there, Hanks
                                         
                                        he'd sign off
                                         
                                        and the comments are turned off
                                         
                                        but supposedly one of the gloves
                                         
                                        pictures he put up
                                         
    
                                        there was random writing on a piece of
                                         
                                        whatever tile on the ground
                                         
                                        where he found the glove
                                         
                                        and if you put those numbers
                                         
                                        into a Russian search engine
                                         
                                        it brings up a paedophile site
                                         
                                        whoa
                                         
                                        what are the numbers
                                         
    
                                        I don't remember

                                        But it was like, it was like
                                         
                                        destroying my brain.
                                         
                                        It was like, how can this exist?
                                         
                                        Because like it went into this whole
                                         
    
                                        someone made a video that like
                                         
                                        when you put that in into this site.
                                         
                                        It brings you here,
                                         
                                        which is actually some crazy video to this site.
                                         
                                        But I was like,
                                         
                                        did Tom put that up and then some lunatic
                                         
                                        fucking Russian hacker
                                         
                                        made that site and that.
                                         
    
                                        Oh, just about to say.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        That's what I started.
                                         
                                        I had to go,
                                         
                                        like, I had to go right.
                                         
                                        I've gone too far.
                                         
                                        I just think it would be so
                                         
                                        not funny, but Tom Hanks.
                                         
    
                                        Like literally Mr. Squeaky Clayton.
                                         
                                        He is square.
                                         
                                        You know,
                                         
                                        collects typewriters.
                                         
                                        That he fucks. He rapes
                                         
                                        those typewriters. Underage typewriters.
                                         
                                        Every single typewriter
                                         
                                        doesn't have the letters, SE, excellent.
                                         
    
                                        Baby's first typewriter.
                                         
                                        He's a real square from I've heard. He just
                                         
                                        loves World War II history.
                                         
                                        Yeah. He collects the
                                         
                                        Some things he doesn't believe happened.
                                         
                                        Typewriters because he writes
                                         
                                        the letters to people and then
                                         
                                        signs them at the end. He still does that for people.
                                         
    
                                        When he says thank you for whatever, the film or
                                         
                                        he'll type out. He or Jimmy Fathers.
                                         
                                        in thank you yeah but it's just sort of indicative
                                         
                                        of how poisonous Hollywood
                                         
                                        is that let's say you know he is just like
                                         
                                        a very nice happy square guy
                                         
                                        that a vast majority of the internet
                                         
                                        go no he rapes children
                                         
    
                                        he has to
                                         
                                        nobody is that
                                         
                                        he's definitely a paedophile look I look at
                                         
                                        a paedophile website mom
                                         
                                        look it there's a picture of him on it
                                         
                                        I think it's a case of like that
                                         
                                        some stuff came out that was partly true
                                         
                                        so then they muddle the waters with so much
                                         
    
                                        nonsense yeah yeah yeah
                                         
                                        the whole scene is definitely
                                         
                                        fucking chaos
                                         
                                        This is an interesting thing here.
                                         
                                        We were talking about COVID vaccines and we immediately jump to Hollywood people raping children.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Because it's so connected.
                                         
                                        Yes, absolutely.
                                         
    
                                        But, like, the thing about, like, conspiracy shit is, like, obviously there are a certain type of person who, like, fully believes absolutely every aspect of it.
                                         
                                        But for a vast majority of people, it's just like, this is fun.
                                         
                                        This is a what?
                                         
                                        They're eating babies.
                                         
                                        Hey, this is pretty goofy.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        You know, yeah.
                                         
                                        It's just more.
                                         
    
                                        It went too far for me.
                                         
                                        What am I going to do to rewatch Seinfeld again?
                                         
                                        No.
                                         
                                        By the way, you got me in.
                                         
                                        to Seinfeld. Did I ever tell you that?
                                         
                                        Really? Yeah, yeah. In college you were like,
                                         
                                        oh, have you not watched Seinfeld? You really should.
                                         
                                        I was like... Well, it is comedy, fucking gold.
                                         
    
                                        It is great. And that you were right.
                                         
                                        You got the idea for stand-up and watch the Kramer.
                                         
                                        But I remember actually you and Frank Berry then were kind of
                                         
                                        having a conversation and he was very like
                                         
                                        like he basically was saying
                                         
                                        how much he loves Seinfeld, how great it was
                                         
                                        and how shit friends was. He was like,
                                         
                                        I don't get why people like that. It's garbage.
                                         
    
                                        But Seinfeld is legitimately good.
                                         
                                        If anyone out there has not seen Seinfeld that's listening to this, honestly, just...
                                         
                                        I don't think there's anyone that's saying this who haven't seen Seinfeld.
                                         
                                        Be surprised.
                                         
                                        You would be.
                                         
                                        Like, so I'm still working at a bar to pay the bills.
                                         
                                        It's like my safety net because I still do like some other stuff to make money.
                                         
                                        Is that in the square ball?
                                         
    
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        So I'm working with a lot of new kids now.
                                         
                                        And I'm like, oh, have you seen like they added Seinfeld on Netflix and they're like,
                                         
                                        what's the Seinfeld?
                                         
                                        And I'm like, you should be killed.
                                         
                                        Yes.
                                         
                                        But then I thought that's power.
                                         
                                        I'm the assistant manager.
                                         
    
                                        But then I use the power of education to teach them.
                                         
                                        go to them. And they're like, that's, that's some pretty funny. Have any of them had weird reactions to it?
                                         
                                        Because I think a lot of people now would watch and be like, this is weird. Because it's, it's very like, you're used to it. We're indoctrinated to it. Sure. Yeah. Yeah. I think there's so many kids now, it's like, who's laughing? So, where's the laughing coming from? This is, this is what happens. I think people watch friends and they go, these are just a bunch of people hanging out and they're funny. Yeah. Whereas Seinfeld is like, the decisions they make are purposely to be funny. Yeah. It's a different style of comedy there that people go like, you wouldn't do. That's not funny. It's like, because. It's like, because.
                                         
                                        you do it to be funny
                                         
                                        and like the more you watch that
                                         
                                        I do stuff constantly
                                         
                                        in my life
                                         
                                        because it's funny to do that
                                         
    
                                        not because I want to do it
                                         
                                        it's because it's fucking funny
                                         
                                        and I'm like everything
                                         
                                        I get so annoyed at that
                                         
                                        and she's like why did you do that
                                         
                                        because it's funny
                                         
                                        because it's funny
                                         
                                        that's why I do everything
                                         
    
                                        that's why I say everything
                                         
                                        that's why I'm an idiot

                                        that's exactly what she said. Who told you to bite a monkey

                                        self-helpy here, but that's like almost like a lifestyle
                                         
                                        to live, that's a good lifestyle.

                                        maybe there's a kind of a half message

                                        it's not like his parents are nice
                                         
                                        he's like I'm just going to shoot people
                                         
                                        and bang bang bang and there's no satire at all
                                         
                                        yeah sees a bunch of women

                                        like a TV studio

                                        but the opening scene is a school shooting

                                        in the whole room.

                                        I didn't know.
                                         
                                        They didn't put that in the marketing.
                                         
                                        And none of them survive, guys.
                                         
    
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        None of them like eat the bullets
                                         
                                        or like matrix it
                                         
                                        and just tell the bullets to stop.
                                         
                                        Why is it called Vox Pop then?
                                         
                                        I don't think it's called Vox Pop.
                                         
                                        It's probably called like Cash to Bash.
                                         
                                        It is something called like Vox looks.
                                         
    
                                        Yeah, Vox looks or something like that.
                                         
                                        I thought it was a movie about Lady Gaga.
                                         
                                        I thought she was playing like a version of Lady Gaga.
                                         
                                        Is that it?
                                         
                                        No, so she make...
                                         
                                        In the marketing did not include any of school shooting.
                                         
                                        Yeah, because it's so dark.
                                         
                                        so she makes a hit song about school shootings
                                         
    
                                        or like every couple of years when the song
                                         
                                        out in another school shoot happens in America
                                         
                                        the song gets popular again and it's about
                                         
                                        horror I think well it's about the schoolchutons
                                         
                                        but I think it's like horror getting like a bit fucked in the head
                                         
                                        because she's a hit for the wrong reason
                                         
                                        yeah yeah yeah is a good movie

                                        And his name is Isaiah

                                        Halfcast
                                         
                                        I don't think you're allowed to say Isaiah
                                         
                                        What did I do say?

                                        Calling me a prod, even though I'm Catholic.

                                        I mean, Vogue is basically a worthless cunt.

                                        Joanne's funny.
                                         
                                        Yeah, yeah, well, it's not funny, but, like, she's a cunt.
                                         
                                        She's just a hard-working comedian.
                                         
                                        She's just a cunt. That's what you like.

                                        That's a nice broad description of a person.
                                         
                                        Yeah, yeah, yeah.

                                        I wouldn't recommend actually
                                         
                                        but
                                         
                                        if you like cunts
                                         
                                        you know where to go
                                         
    
                                        yeah it was fun
                                         
                                        so you want to start the podcast
                                         
                                        you get more sketches going
                                         
                                        it's good no you like you're
                                         
                                        you have understanding of what you want to do
                                         
                                        and how to achieve it
                                         
                                        and you got realistic
                                         
                                        like you know
                                         
    
                                        because I think with the podcast thing
                                         
                                        is like you can
                                         
                                        put one like a small video
                                         
                                        of your stand up out there
                                         
                                        and if it actually does well
                                         
                                        people are like oh he's good
                                         
                                        because if I find it a new comedian
                                         
                                        on like YouTube or something like that
                                         
    
                                        five minute clip
                                         
                                        and I go I want more of their stuff
                                         
                                        they don't have it but they have a podcast
                                         
                                        I get to follow that and hear them be funny
                                         
                                        I'm like oh I'll follow this person
                                         
                                        because it's actually got to be someone
                                         
                                        I like their stuff

                                        when you're listening to them
                                         
                                        on a podcast you're kind of more liking
                                         
                                        them as a person as opposed to who
                                         
                                        they are on stage or what their material
                                         
                                        is so it's a but it is it's an
                                         
                                        interesting thing it's like no you can
                                         
                                        if you like a comedian and their material
                                         
                                        and their own stage persona
                                         
    
                                        you can kind of delve a little deeper
                                         
                                        or listen to their podcast,
                                         
                                        get to know them
                                         
                                        and their own personal experience.
                                         
                                        Well, back in the day,

                                        And then she just
                                         
                                        Start hitting the gym

                                        Yeah

                                        Like they put that on the news
                                         
                                        It's our sergeant pepper
                                         
    
                                        man
                                         
                                        They put that on the news
                                         
                                        And it comes up
                                         
                                        every year
                                         
                                        Every year it's brought up
                                         
                                        And no one even knows the name of the guy
                                         
                                        It's just the guy that fell on the ice
                                         
                                        And Kevin McGarrow, you ever see the Kevin McGarron sketch?
                                         
    
                                        No?
                                         
                                        I think I have for maybe.
                                         
                                        That's what he made McGarren.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Magarren was a warpless little slug
                                         
                                        And then he made that video
                                         
                                        And he, like the Phoenix.
                                         
                                        Yeah, but no, he did a very funny sketch
                                         
    
                                        called The Man who slipped on the ice.
                                         
                                        Very funny, very funny.
                                         
                                        If anyone hasn't heard seen it, go check it out.
                                         
                                        McGarron's a very good physical comic.
                                         
                                        You wouldn't think that, but he's very good physically.
                                         
                                        And it's annoying now.
                                         
                                        know at one stage,
                                         
                                        I won't say too much,
                                         
    
                                        but I know he's had a few
                                         
                                        kind of like chances
                                         
                                        to do things with RT and Ortee
                                         
                                        like they never pick up his stuff.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Yeah, well he hosted Republic of Telly.
                                         
                                        Yeah, but I mean like a scripted thing.
                                         
                                        You know, give him like full creative control
                                         
    
                                        or whatever.
                                         
                                        And Orty, like they won't give mine anything.
                                         
                                        Artie or punts.
                                         
                                        Orte gives no one anything like
                                         
                                        I can't believe they even fucking made that show
                                         
                                        Joe and Darren's new Gafflic.
                                         
                                        Free Gaff.
                                         
                                        Free Gaffleck.
                                         
    
                                        That's almost like a glitch in the Matrix
                                         
                                        where like they gave money to someone
                                         
                                        that's partly done very well on the player
                                         
                                        like it's one of their most watched things
                                         
                                        like the Metics came back in there
                                         
                                        like that they have such a young audience
                                         
                                        that drove so many people to that site
                                         
                                        for the first time.
                                         
    
                                        That's the thing.
                                         
                                        They already had the audience themselves
                                         
                                        from their own social media
                                         
                                        so they brought the audience
                                         
                                        so RTE literally had nothing to do.
                                         
                                        Like DIV went to RTE with news check
                                         
                                        I'm pretty sure.
                                         
                                        I'm pretty sure the first thing they said
                                         
    
                                        was how many followers do you have?
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Like that's their immediate cut off
                                         
                                        is like they don't even want to do the work

                                        You have to bring your own audience to them.
                                         
                                        Matt, it feels like sometimes they punish you
                                         
                                        if you don't have a built-in audience.
                                         
    
                                        They punished, like, Irish audiences,

                                        But it must be the same
                                         
                                        As the whole Hollywood
                                         
                                        thing that it's just like
                                         
                                        We have power
                                         
    
                                        We make the decisions
                                         
                                        We whank ourselves off
                                         
                                        They probably eat babies too
                                         
                                        They do
                                         
                                        They'd be very incompetent
                                         
                                        Eating a baby
                                         
                                        Like they keep dropping it
                                         
                                        Yeah
                                         
    
                                        Could you imagine
                                         
                                        Michael D.
                                         
                                        Higgins on the Lolita Express.
                                         
                                        Sorry, pal, there's a hike requirement.
                                         
                                        Take a hike.
                                         
                                        What if they're eating priests?
                                         
                                        The priests are pork and the children.
                                         
                                        Is that, okay.
                                         
    
                                        And then they bury the children in things.
                                         
                                        It's interesting, though.
                                         
                                        I don't really understand.
                                         
                                        It's not like you can go look at them like, oh, they're only out for them.
                                         
                                        They're only just trying to get money.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        They're running RT and they all, they only care about money because they're making such
                                         
                                        bad decisions on purpose.
                                         
    
                                        It's like the producers almost.
                                         
                                        Yeah, yeah, like they wanted to fail.
                                         
                                        Or is it because it's like state funded?
                                         
                                        that it can never fail
                                         
                                        you know what I mean
                                         
                                        like the Irish government
                                         
                                        won't let it fail
                                         
                                        so it doesn't really matter
                                         
    
                                        how shite it does
                                         
                                        they'll all still keep making money
                                         
                                        yeah I don't know
                                         
                                        it's it is very interesting

                                        behind the creative decisions
                                         
                                        very little passion

                                        they're so outdated.

                                        going to be like 30 years
                                         
                                        from now. Well, more likely they'll either
                                         
                                        be gone or else they'll have like
                                         
                                        some sort of power will be like, right, we need
                                         
                                        to really shake things up and try something new here.
                                         
                                        I think R-T in 30 years' time would be
                                         
                                        like, you know, the way just sometimes it's a channel
                                         
    
                                        where it's this footage from the doll.
                                         
                                        Like a C-SPAN. Do you know what they might actually be gone
                                         
                                        or else they'll be bought out?
                                         
                                        Because I think Apple has built a massive film production
                                         
                                        company here. Oh yeah? Yeah.
                                         
                                        Okay. So like when that happens, then it'd be
                                         
                                        like they'd be our main guys. They'll be like, yeah, we have
                                         
                                        that would actually
                                         
    
                                        that would be amazing
                                         
                                        because if they have
                                         
                                        Apple Plus here
                                         
                                        and then they'll just be like
                                         
                                        oh all these Irish people
                                         
                                        want to make
                                         
                                        original Irish shows
                                         
                                        now like Apple just buy out
                                         
    
                                        RTE and then
                                         
                                        they just fund everything
                                         
                                        and there's actually
                                         
                                        good content
                                         
                                        I made a sketch
                                         
                                        called the 2020 RTE player
                                         
                                        and it's like me
                                         
                                        advertising the new RTE player
                                         
    
                                        and I got a TV from the 60s
                                         
                                        and videotapes
                                         
                                        and I was like checking out
                                         
                                        here's the new show
                                         
                                        and it's like I was marketing it
                                         
                                        like an old car comes out
                                         
                                        and spins and swivel
                                         
                                        I was like because that's literally
                                         
    
                                        what they do. They're just like, this is brand new.
                                         
                                        It's like, you're like 70 years behind,
                                         
                                        you assholes. Yeah.
                                         
                                        Lots to be done.
                                         
                                        Just get on the gear.
                                         
                                        That's my take away.
                                         
                                        I hope it's, you know? I don't know.
                                         
                                        Yeah, we'll wrap it up now, but is there anything
                                         
    
                                        you want to just plug your stuff?
                                         
                                        You've plugged everything already, haven't?
                                         
                                        No, I have not. Actually, we haven't even talked about Stitch's Comedy Club
                                         
                                        you. Okay, well, yeah. Well, fuck,
                                         
                                        you're right, actually. And I, before
                                         
                                        we were doing this, like, going to have
                                         
                                        this, like, interview,
                                         
                                        I was like, I must bring up the club
                                         
    
                                        because you're in the square ball.
                                         
                                        Stitch's comedy club was in the square ball.
                                         
                                        So we started 2018.
                                         
                                        But now you're in the workman cellar.
                                         
                                        A friend of mine won't go to the workman's though
                                         
                                        because they're COVID policy.
                                         
                                        So sorry with that.
                                         
                                        I had another person say that they didn't want to go
                                         
    
                                        because they hate press up.
                                         
                                        And it's like, who's the fuck?
                                         
                                        I come to see comedy.
                                         
                                        You can't fuck a press up.
                                         
                                        What a weird, like press up?
                                         
                                        That's the company that owns that bar and hotels and everything.
                                         
                                        From my job, I know press up.
                                         
                                        I've dealt with them.
                                         
    
                                        Yeah. I'm so out of the loop.
                                         
                                        You wouldn't even know.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Oh, buddy.

                                        I couldn't give a shit
                                         
                                        the room is I honestly think
                                         
                                        it's the best room in the country
                                         
    
                                        for a comedy
                                         
                                        fantastic room it is
                                         
                                        it is beautiful
                                         
                                        just the interior
                                         
                                        the interior the intimacy
                                         
                                        the lighting the low ceiling

                                        All I used to work in the comedy seller
                                         
                                        in the international.
                                         
                                        So she knows comedy.
                                         
                                        Oh, I probably know her face then.

                                        so it's just handier for her
                                         
                                        to pick out lineups.
                                         
                                        So I mean,
                                         
                                        email and focus on the club and promotion.
                                         
                                        No,
                                         
                                        it's actually better to have someone else.
                                         
                                        Yeah,
                                         
    
                                        totally like that you have like some annoying little person.
                                         
                                        And it's also like it just
                                         
                                        gets rid of the politics
                                         
                                        between me and comedians
                                         
                                        because everyone wants to get into

                                        and then when she's putting bills
                                         
                                        together she knows most comedians

                                        You're gonna alienate the audience

                                        The shows were good like

                                        And I got a carpenter
                                         
                                        And even built us a small four foot stage
                                         
    
                                        That was nice
                                         
                                        it was just because I like
                                         
                                        I like the
                                         
                                        I like the showman
                                         
                                        like I have a bit of that to me
                                         
                                        so I put a black backdrop
                                         
                                        up and paint the stitches on it
                                         
                                        I made a stage
                                         
    
                                        I got a mic and
                                         
                                        That makes the difference though
                                         
                                        It really does
                                         
                                        So I wanted to create an atmosphere
                                         
                                        That it is a show
                                         
                                        You were at one foot hard
                                         
                                        In the audience
                                         
                                        But that's it
                                         
    
                                        You know what that little bit of sense there
                                         
                                        So many people don't have that
                                         
                                        Yeah I've done so many shows
                                         
                                        It's like

                                        There was like a mediocre
                                         
                                        New comedian on
                                         
                                        That even his little jokes
                                         
                                        Were you know
                                         
    
                                        They didn't bomb so bad
                                         
                                        There was like a comfortableness
                                         
                                        In the room
                                         
                                        That's a joke
                                         
                                        because the stage is just beautiful to look at.
                                         
                                        And then there's also a nice little hallway
                                         
                                        that breaks the bar from the stage.
                                         
                                        So you don't even hear any too much noise
                                         
    
                                        at a bar. So that's on every Monday in the
                                         
                                        Workers Club's cellar at the moment because of the restrictions
                                         
                                        if you're listening to this for January

                                        up somewhere around quarter to eight and everyone has to be out for eight
                                         
                                        and it's fun. Like we had a show last night
                                         
                                        because it started year we only had like 15 or 16 people there
                                         
    
                                        and the comedians watching the show.
                                         
                                        It's a very fun place and we're probably going to pop down
                                         
                                        next Monday for the class. Yeah, yeah, I was work.
                                         
                                        I would have went last time, but I was in work last
                                         
                                        night. Just go home and just like hang out in clubs.
                                         
                                        100%. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I need more
                                         
                                        of that as well, but at the moment there's only like three clubs
                                         
                                        running. See, I, you're, like, you're
                                         
    
                                        a very kind of like just like nice, friendly, affable
                                         
                                        guy, like you kind of, I think
                                         
                                        you talk to people and they feel like comfortable
                                         
                                        and at ease and then I lumber up
                                         
                                        like, sweaty and
                                         
                                        but that's the thing, though. Like, I think I'm actually one of the rare
                                         
                                        comedians that's like happy and likes to do stuff.
                                         
                                        Yeah. Whereas a lot of comedians are just like these
                                         
    
                                        fucking, man, there's so miserable
                                         
                                        people. There's only, like, narcissistic,
                                         
                                        like, insane people who, like,
                                         
                                        do we doing comedy for, like, a month, and they're
                                         
                                        like, yeah, can I, like, do a headline
                                         
                                        spot on wheelings? And if they say no,
                                         
                                        like, this whole fucking town's against
                                         
                                        me. Yeah. It's all politics,

                                        like I'm able to do something
                                         
                                        yeah like at the end of 2019
                                         
                                        I had a week where I did six gigs
                                         
                                        in a week that's class
                                         
    
                                        because on a Wednesday night
                                         
                                        I remember doing two spots
                                         
                                        there were five minutes each
                                         
                                        but the last gig of the week
                                         
                                        was my first one in the comedy crunch
                                         
                                        and I got seven minutes
                                         
                                        to an audience of nearly 100 people
                                         
                                        because that's a small packed room
                                         
    
                                        and so at the end of the week
                                         
                                        I did my seven minutes
                                         
                                        and I was good and I recorded it
                                         
                                        and that's what I have now to show people
                                         
                                        great room to do well in as well
                                         
                                        yeah which is there's great energy here
                                         
                                        very proactive
                                         
                                        you really can't fail
                                         
    
                                        I think like it's so funny
                                         
                                        like it's just like you're doing
                                         
                                        simple things okay
                                         
                                        like being nice to people
                                         
                                        yeah trying to gig
                                         
                                        running a gig
                                         
                                        It's almost like no one's thought of it before
                                         
                                        Things like that
                                         
    
                                        It's like oh you haven't got drunk
                                         
                                        You've tried to glass someone
                                         
                                        You haven't started touching the female comedians
                                         
                                        This this guy's genius
                                         
                                        Have you read the secret
                                         
                                        He's changing the game dog
                                         
                                        He revolutionising it
                                         
                                        I think being in clubs makes you more
                                         
    
                                        It makes you happier about being a comedian
                                         
                                        Because like when I'm not in clubs

                                        But I'm going to win in clubs
                                         
                                        like I have that security

                                        it's been like 19 months
                                         
                                        before I wrote
                                         
                                        or did a gig
                                         
                                        so I was like I have to get into writing
                                         
                                        so I wrote a whole page
                                         
                                        have a new idea of some stuff I wanted to talk about
                                         
                                        and every day that week I kept
                                         
                                        rewriting that into a good bit
                                         
    
                                        and it was like that's what a week
                                         
                                        of writing does I was like it was the first time I really
                                         
                                        completed a week of writing
                                         
                                        which was like five days in a row
                                         
                                        at the end of it I had like a bit
                                         
                                        but it was like a comedy bit
                                         
                                        that all the stuff I was talking about
                                         
                                        had angles and punchlines
                                         
    
                                        and I was like holy shit
                                         
                                        this fucking writing stuff really works
                                         
                                        they're all onto something here
                                         
                                        this is going to sound really pretentious now
                                         
                                        and I'm not going to act like I do this okay
                                         
                                        but a lot of people like
                                         
                                        they'll
                                         
                                        they'll like say oh yeah
                                         
    
                                        I write all the time
                                         
                                        but they're not actually like
                                         
                                        putting any kind of like effort
                                         
                                        or real talk
                                         
                                        it's more like just doing it
                                         
                                        it's almost like
                                         
                                        yeah like a mindless kind of
                                         
                                        it's almost like just writing
                                         
    
                                        like all work and no play big
                                         
                                        like there's no talk into it
                                         
                                        when people say writing every day
                                         
                                        do you mean actually like coming up
                                         
                                        with a good idea
                                         
                                        and sometimes that will take
                                         
                                        like a half hour
                                         
                                        40 minutes an hour
                                         
    
                                        of just writing shit
                                         
                                        and you get something good
                                         
                                        I think it's right
                                         
                                        I don't do that
                                         
                                        I like it's just if you're
                                         
                                        you've done one of those days where you sit down
                                         
                                        and you're like
                                         
                                        when you're writing you're like
                                         
    
                                        oh my god
                                         
                                        did I just write this like
                                         
                                        and you're like fuck
                                         
                                        it's painful
                                         
                                        they're torn off my whole computer
                                         
                                        and throw it in being like
                                         
                                        and I'm like delete that
                                         
                                        don't ever look at that again
                                         
    
                                        or it's like revenge porn
                                         
                                        it's like
                                         
                                        how did my stupid brain come up with that
                                         
                                        like that's awful
                                         
                                        but then there's like
                                         
                                        a day is where you just like
                                         
                                        slip on the keyboard
                                         
                                        and you're like
                                         
    
                                        I wrote that
                                         
                                        yeah yeah you know
                                         
                                        like something can come out
                                         
                                        it is I mean it is a great feeling
                                         
                                        when sort of a little bit of inspiration hits
                                         
                                        and you're just like
                                         
                                        it's like you can't type it fast enough
                                         
                                        you know
                                         
    
                                        over the course of the
                                         
                                        the years I'm doing stand-up
                                         
                                        but I think I've had
                                         
                                        three random weeks
                                         
                                        where I did proper writing
                                         
                                        and beside that
                                         
                                        it's just like
                                         
                                        I'm just doing a thing

                                        I was like I'll try to keep it going
                                         
                                        and I did a week

                                        because I saw another comedian
                                         
                                        do that on Twitter
                                         
                                        or something like that
                                         
                                        in New York
                                         
                                        I'll just keep going
                                         
                                        I'll just keep writing jokes
                                         
                                        but like with no clubs
                                         
    
                                        in the darkness
                                         
                                        in the pandemic
                                         
                                        I just literally just stopped
                                         
                                        yeah yeah
                                         
                                        it's hard to keep the motivation
                                         
                                        going
                                         
                                        you also need gigs
                                         
                                        to remember like
                                         
    
                                        what actually work
                                         
                                        because if you're just on your own
                                         
                                        in your own head you kind of forget like
                                         
                                        well I think it's funny
                                         
                                        yeah yeah yeah that's the thing
                                         
                                        that's what I was putting out and I was like
                                         
                                        some got like one like some got 30

                                        but then at the end of the week I like

                                        and then woke up on Monday and just like

                                        like pandemic it was a dark time

                                        like oh this one will really work
                                         
                                        and I got this other one that I'm not
                                         
                                        I don't think it will work
                                         
                                        and then the opposite is true
