Starting point is 00:00:00 Fuck Kevin Smith Anyway, enough of Craig, we're focusing on Craig. Hi, guys, hi. Yeah, you're a comedian. I am, yep. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Craig, tell me, tell me more.
Starting point is 00:00:11 But less. Tell me with your eyes. 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,
Starting point is 00:00:25 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.
Starting point is 00:00:42 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
Starting point is 00:01:03 it's yeah film and TV 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
Starting point is 00:01:17 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
Starting point is 00:01:32 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
Starting point is 00:01:52 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
Starting point is 00:02:08 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
Starting point is 00:02:22 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
Starting point is 00:02:37 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 money is decreasing in their eyes as they look at you. That's what he told us. He's like,
Starting point is 00:02:54 what can you do for us to make this fucking money? And he was like, I have this idea of this project. they were just going dolo loo loo rolling down yeah exactly yeah yeah that's the way they they're actually look like proper executives that you hit like sharks that you hear about it was just such a like fascinating insight that you're i didn't even realize at the time but how rare it is to have somebody yeah like and i went on to dkit and did film and tv production and they're you know good people teaching there but like also smells like piss also stinks of piss yeah but like huge part of the education but like frank was like telling us like about actual
Starting point is 00:03:24 Hollywood meetings he was having with executives. Not such a glimpse that, like, no one in DKIT ever fucking got that, you know what I mean? Yeah, we had a couple of film directors going to. She fucking had stuff. She always used to name drop Lars von Treyer, but she's mental anyway. But anyway. Yeah, we had a couple of
Starting point is 00:03:40 Irish film directors come in and give little lectures. Yeah. Like we had, I can't remember his name. He did a lot of Irish ads. I think he did like East by east or something like that, north by south or East. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. What's that? East. East, East is East. that's it
Starting point is 00:03:55 I don't know what that is It's like It was from the 90s It was like He graduated from the course We did Yeah But East Diseast was like
Starting point is 00:04:03 A British kind of Coming of age indie comedy set in London in the 70s About this like Indian or Pakistani family But they're like Kind of first generation
Starting point is 00:04:14 Yeah So it's you know It's like the culture shock Or whatever Blah blah But it was very Like popular And well received at the time
Starting point is 00:04:20 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
Starting point is 00:04:31 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
Starting point is 00:04:47 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
Starting point is 00:04:58 think they even make it anymore now it didn't really work out the first batch that I actually gave people the runs was that right I used to work in barcode
Starting point is 00:05:03 in Clontarf and when the first batch of like pear cider came out it was basically diarrhea juice nice yeah it had to be
Starting point is 00:05:12 recalled and remade and then it just never came back that's I mean fruity berry cider is disgusting I know yeah you work for
Starting point is 00:05:19 barcode yeah barco was a huge nightclub in Clontarf yeah with the I don't know anything, do I? I don't know. I don't know. North is Nor.
Starting point is 00:05:27 I don't know. Jesus, Jesus. I don't know about Pakistani families or diarrhea juice. Like, hold you, but... What? Hold you. Oh, 27.
Starting point is 00:05:36 All right, so I'm 33 this year and that club closed in 2010 when I was 20. Okay. So 13 years ago. Right, okay. It was still nice you still. So we were both...
Starting point is 00:05:45 You weren't there when you're 14, you fucking asshole. We were like 21 then in that college course, right? Yeah. 21, 22. Tell me about. Al, foreign. Very nice guy. He used to do impressions
Starting point is 00:05:56 of like the people in the class and he would just nail it like, so would he like hear someone once and like just pick it up? Yeah, he just haven't. He was great like. Did you remember Hugh Feeling?
Starting point is 00:06:05 Hugh feeling. He had a very unique He was going there. Oh, Royce. Yeah. He had a very unique speech pattern but Al picked it up and did it in the class
Starting point is 00:06:13 before like straight away. Like this is like you know obviously before he like got big or anything we'd just be like sitting in the pub like after a class and he'd be doing impressions of the lectures and all. Then he'd do like De Niro and Peschi
Starting point is 00:06:25 And like, this guy's fucking great And he was like doing stand-up at the time He'd done some local gigs And I remember And I'm sure you were the same being like Oh my God, you do stand-up comedy That's amazing Yeah
Starting point is 00:06:36 It does seem way more impressive Oh 100% Yeah Much like the sausage Yeah This actually just have to pop into my head Remember he put on his own show In the Port Marec art
Starting point is 00:06:46 That's right And like a couple of hundred people came Like this whole community came to support him And he came out And he came out and did impressions And I was like whoa And some of his mates shot like a mini documentary behind it as well
Starting point is 00:06:56 So he's been like on stage We're confident since a young age What's he do at the moment? Because I know I've seen him He's still doing well He's just a lot of betting stuff He's like A couple of weeks ago I saw him
Starting point is 00:07:06 Put it up on Instagram He was standing beside Tyson Fury Next to a private jet I was like He flew around to like the homecoming tour We went to like six cities Yeah In England and Al came with him
Starting point is 00:07:16 It was him Tyson Fury The Dad Fury And like three other guys And Al was like on the private jet out and just flying around like doing impressions at the show I bet he gets paid for that
Starting point is 00:07:26 I think he might do yeah he might do yeah but I have to say like one of the nicest guys you'd ever want to be like gentlemen gas story oh yeah he knew I was a bartender
Starting point is 00:07:38 at the time so he was like do you want to work as a private bartender at my mom's 50th in the house and I basically just worked in a closet in a white shirt
Starting point is 00:07:47 and like they had a whole bunch of drinks for the family I did about two hours work and he paid me like 150 euros and he was like come out and drink with the family now and then drinking with them all night I was doing impressions all night his older brother could do impressions as well
Starting point is 00:07:58 his older brother was actually a child actor he was in the war of the buttons really yeah yeah yeah that's right so me and Al made our end of year film together that was great yeah you did the radio guys that was great I really like that tell the listeners no
Starting point is 00:08:14 it's our little secret we're gonna pause the podcast come back when this story's over but I remember this and like you can correct me if I get it wrong but basically so you shot this movie where it was like
Starting point is 00:08:26 a little short film where it's a robbery somebody goes in to rob a fucking like somebody in the shop or whatever but then like you've had this idea
Starting point is 00:08:34 as like you and Al would play radio presenters kind of like a Dermit and Dave type thing where they're talking
Starting point is 00:08:42 to each other about the story while we're seeing it and they're kind of argues like why he had a samurai sword ridiculous like no I'm telling you
Starting point is 00:08:49 and yeah that was it was great yeah so that's a fun constant Let me give you this. It was Crooked 109.5. We did that. And it was me and Al,
Starting point is 00:08:57 we were talking about it. 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, I need the insurance money. So we had to come in
Starting point is 00:09:07 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.
Starting point is 00:09:19 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 happen what do you you're blowing smoke with my ass here yeah yeah yeah yeah it was great now did you decide to do that in post production or was that always the idea I know I think that was post yeah yeah yeah because I think I mean because it really added another element because yeah we have to re-sue a scene where someone turns the radio on in the shop yes that's right yeah
Starting point is 00:09:52 it's Al's at hand just torn on a radio in my house. Is this available anywhere? It's on YouTube I think, yeah. Do I have it on my page? I only, I messaged out recently and when I shot one of my sketches that's actually at the Dublin International Comedy Film Festival this January 20th to 21st and 22nd. The man on the phone.
Starting point is 00:10:08 Let's talk about that in a minute, yeah. Yeah, so when I made that, I asked Al would he share because I was really proud of it. I fucking went down and I was great. And I hadn't talked to Alan ages and he was that nice. He was, of course, but then he's just, we just started catching up quickly. And I was like, let's meet up whenever it, when the restrictions lifting stuff like that but he's like oh man
Starting point is 00:10:23 can you send me a hard copy of Joe that was the name of the film Joe was the shop owner oh right yeah yeah yeah and it was Al Foran's brother Stuart Shui that played the shop owner and he just asked me to send him so I sent it to him and then we that's so I have it somewhere in the cloud the internet somewhere I'll have to get I'll put it up and I'll have to link it
Starting point is 00:10:43 absolutely yeah definitely send it to me yeah yeah especially with the way he's going like yeah yeah yeah no Al's not in it me and Al wrote and directed us together Yeah but still there's some connection to it And any connection at all used that And grab onto his coattails
Starting point is 00:10:57 And just never let go I was actually Because you were talking about being in his gaff I was because we were With you feeling made a little documentary About I'll be in a stand-up comedian That's right yeah And we were in his family home
Starting point is 00:11:11 And we interviewed his family And like they're all just like so nice And I was like Wow what like a lovely warm supportive family This is so bizarre Only in Dublin could you get this, you know? Even just you were telling me
Starting point is 00:11:23 they were like he had his big show there and everyone from the community came out. Why are you talking about? Is this some science fiction novel? This is some wicker man shit. And then the black master had a ritual began.
Starting point is 00:11:37 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.
Starting point is 00:11:48 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 need like a hundred people there
Starting point is 00:12:01 I think I could possibly pull that off Yes But I've never actually tried that Yeah Hang on let me just give you something to I don't want you to spill Is it empty? Just tell me to move it then
Starting point is 00:12:12 Sorry well I just don't want you to spill water on my bed Sorry to interrupt you Craig my apologies He's drinking a cup of piss 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
Starting point is 00:12:26 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,
Starting point is 00:12:42 if you were just trying to tell jokes, and you just say, I'm the fire starter, twisty fire starter. Nice, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, talking about the, Dublin International is a Comedy Film Festival Red sauce
Starting point is 00:12:54 Comedy is my Red sauce comedy is your Red sauce comedy is like the umbrella I put everything I make with comedy under which is like you know red sauce is like you only hear that
Starting point is 00:13:03 in Ireland and also it's like the ideas that come from my mind is red sauce because I have red hair Ah very good So red sauce comedy And you're also sauced all the time
Starting point is 00:13:11 because you're a blues town I actually have a nickname My friends call me sauce man Sauce man Because of like eating sauce And not to do a drink It's through it with sauce okay
Starting point is 00:13:19 but it's a thing it's one of those like just silly easy things that just caught on like wildfire yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:13:26 so red sauce comedy is the thing I started because so I here's the story fellas um I went to L.A. in 2017 what
Starting point is 00:13:34 and I went to like I have a cousin in Vegas went to see him met up with him and then I came I got picked up for my friend that lives in Vegas he's from Santry
Starting point is 00:13:45 and he's a tactic artist over there he picked me up what a what a crazy journey Santry to Vegas Yeah because his mom is American And like parts of his family would go over And like move over there for years
Starting point is 00:13:56 Some people called Santry the Vegas of Dublin Not anyone I know Also a lot of hoars Hors and junkies Sorry go So when he picked us up In Vegas we spent like He was there for a couple of nights
Starting point is 00:14:10 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
Starting point is 00:14:18 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
Starting point is 00:14:27 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
Starting point is 00:14:35 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 Oh wow
Starting point is 00:14:42 Grand Canyon And you're driving No he and my friend was driving I was in the back Just on edibles Yeah we're all in edibles just weird edibles So you're just
Starting point is 00:14:50 Yeah Don't be you square man I'm not judging Yeah Edibles really Oh So just that not Impair you're driving
Starting point is 00:14:57 Yeah It's good Every swath And you know I can't say You know the usual stuff But Edibles were fucking strong
Starting point is 00:15:04 though Yeah I'm pretty sure I ate half Right Right Right Right
Starting point is 00:15:06 Because I was just like But I remember Like I had one of those moments Where I just There was no conversation left I was just looking out
Starting point is 00:15:12 The window I hadn't tried Stand Up yet I had shot sketches but never put them out I hadn't got the balls Yeah
Starting point is 00:15:16 And in that moment Looking at the window I said to myself and I was also managing a bar at the time and I said to myself I have to give this a go because if I don't I'll like I don't want to be like God it looks back on it sure really gave a real shot so when I came back I actually spoke up in the car and go this the last holiday I'm going to take until I really try this comedy career so when I came back from Dublin I stepped down from being a manager yeah I applied to do my first stand-up set and like four or five months later like because you step down
Starting point is 00:15:43 from being a manager to your assistant manager okay right I thought you just quit your job completely in your no no because I'm gonna make all my money from standoff no no I just like being a manager
Starting point is 00:15:52 of the bar they're just like you just get whipped to all the work yeah yeah yeah so I just became the assistant manager and that's just like doddling around
Starting point is 00:15:58 it's just like some set hours in your grant yeah came back edited and uploaded the sketches with a big huge
Starting point is 00:16:03 statement saying like I'm just gonna go I'm all in I'm just gonna go for it yeah yeah and I did and that was like the beginning
Starting point is 00:16:08 of my fucking whole red sauce comedy journey that's an amazing like origin to want to do comedy like
Starting point is 00:16:15 doing edibles while driving through from Joshua 3 to the Grand Canyon how I wanted to I met Brian O'Toole in Dundalk that's it that's my origin story I led you three but see it's it's this is the one that pushed me because I had the edibles I had the journey and the time to just think yeah our conversation ran out I was left on my own to just think for hours like a real epiphany yeah yeah that's because I didn't try it till I was like 27 or 28 or something like that yeah yeah to do stand up but I said to myself I'd like to try stand up at 21 yeah
Starting point is 00:16:46 So, like, that story is to, like, me going, I fuck, I have to go for this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm going to go crazy, like. I know exactly how that feels, because I was the same, like, going back to being in college with Al For, and seeing him do comedy, he's like, oh, my God, that's awesome. I would love to do that. But similar, I just didn't have the balls. I was like, I don't know, I wouldn't be able to do that.
Starting point is 00:17:05 And, you know, people would be like, oh, you're fucking, you're shit. I remember Alki me advice, actually, is just saying, get a pointer to and he, go up and just have fun. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I was like, oh, yeah, I should. And I remember bringing my friends to a comedy gig in the heap and in once or twice and then just like never side of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, it's
Starting point is 00:17:21 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?
Starting point is 00:17:38 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.
Starting point is 00:17:51 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.
Starting point is 00:18:01 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.
Starting point is 00:18:09 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.
Starting point is 00:18:22 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.
Starting point is 00:18:39 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.
Starting point is 00:18:49 That's funny. Is these all available on YouTube? Yeah, just again, Red Sox Comedy on YouTube, Instagram and Facebook. Yeah, Red Sox Comedy, go check it out. No. Yeah, I've got like... Right now. 48 sketches.
Starting point is 00:19:00 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.
Starting point is 00:19:13 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,
Starting point is 00:19:41 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
Starting point is 00:19:50 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
Starting point is 00:19:56 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
Starting point is 00:20:04 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 yeah that'll just be like
Starting point is 00:20:11 a sort of tag I'll put on my sketches what's the what's the crack with that then what's the web series said I said after the 60 I'd like to do a web series I'm working on one with my brother now at the moment as well
Starting point is 00:20:20 Keith yeah Keith was Keith man but it was also yeah what a big happy time you guys all had 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
Starting point is 00:20:36 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
Starting point is 00:20:55 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
Starting point is 00:21:07 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.
Starting point is 00:21:20 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.
Starting point is 00:21:28 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.
Starting point is 00:21:47 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? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. We're looking at about two grand in the episode. Oh wow. Holy shit. Cars, explosions. Big juicy tities.
Starting point is 00:22:01 Yeah, yeah. Some chases. Some chases. Um, set pieces. Wow. I'm loving this. That's great. That's kind of something that's definitely missing in sort of Irish comedy. Yeah. like shows sort of like more action

Starting point is 00:26:00 in the phone is going to be okay so if it can explain what the man of the phone is I fucking love this short film this fell out of my head. Have you ever like just written a good joke that's just you're like where did that come from? The universe just gifted it to you. Yeah. And you just, it's a piece of material of really love. It's actually that's interesting because I was reading a thing
Starting point is 00:26:16 by Alan Moore and he was talking with that a lot. He's a writer. Yeah. He was saying there's like, you know the idea comes fully formed. Yes. And it's almost like your subconscious has made that. Yeah. And it's best, don't even examine it. Just take it. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Just take it. Yeah. Be grateful that you got it.
Starting point is 00:26:30 So this, Irish short film, the man on the phone, during the pandemic, one of my neighbours just was on the phone every day outside my house around the same time.
Starting point is 00:26:41 Okay. And conspiracies just went out. Sure. I was just constantly putting up on my Instagram story. And everyone was like, who is this guy? What's he doing?
Starting point is 00:26:49 Yeah. And it just was like, is he harassing this poor man? Is he calling the government? Is he a terrorist? Or is he just calling his family because there's a fucking pandemic? But like,
Starting point is 00:26:56 we were just coming up these wild stories. Is he out, is he organising bags and what's he up to it and it just went crazy so I just wrote this basically what happened
Starting point is 00:27:04 was me and my friend in the house and I was going like what's he up to it my friend was like nothing he's just on the fucking phone until like days past
Starting point is 00:27:11 and I eventually creep into my friend's head and convince him that he is up to something and then the short film is about us just started pursuing this man and trying to figure out
Starting point is 00:27:21 what he's up to is he white I will not say that's the surprise for the audience if he's a Muslim man it changes everything yeah
Starting point is 00:27:29 yeah but I fucking love we made it in a day as well yeah I used that energy yeah yeah we made it in a day got up at like 8 in the morning started shooting and finished that for like
Starting point is 00:27:38 five six in the evening and it is it's one of my favourite pieces I've made and how long it's like five and a half minutes daily yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:27:45 you know I'm buying a ticket yeah do it is it's fucking we love comedy like there's gonna be loads of Irish comedy I'm surprised the news check stuff
Starting point is 00:27:53 isn't it because they're doing their own things I think news check they're going their own way well they just they just did some stuff with Waterford Whispers there
Starting point is 00:28:00 so you know they're getting mighty impressive as well yeah yeah yeah no like it's David Atkinson very nice guy very funny hard working so yeah there's a lot of good people
Starting point is 00:28:08 doing a lot of good stuff yeah and me and Brian are doing nothing well you're making a good podcast here to promote all this work so that's something yeah yeah and uh don't keep shooting yourself in your phone yeah we're the fans love it
Starting point is 00:28:20 when I say what a piece of shit I am we're an acquired taste and we're only gonna grow I'm more of a hugger I want to stop shooting yourself Brian James James sorry The other one

Starting point is 00:28:50 They love that Yeah You kind of brought Something up there That I want to get into Now you were saying Because the sketch That you just talked
Starting point is 00:28:57 about there sort of um you know the the premise of it is kind of conspiracy based yeah you were saying you were getting into some conspiracies over there i went down the rabbit hall unfortunately you had covid so you're in isolation right no no i mean like last year when we ended up at the darkest point of the pandemic yes when we were told it's two to five weeks it ended up being like what four or five months of full lockdown yeah yeah yeah creepy um yeah i went down the whole um celebrity's drinking baby blood thing ah yes now where do you go together get this? Because a lot of it got taken down. There was a bunch
Starting point is 00:29:30 of people on Instagram that like just, I don't know where they found it. They were just put up links to videos and shit and I just went deeper and deeper. It's a lot of health and wellness guys started to get into it. Yeah, yeah. A lot of like, you know, okay, you got to eat right, you know, take vitamins. Obviously the Jews control the media and, you know.
Starting point is 00:29:46 There was a lot of people that, drink a lot of water. There's a lot of people that did get raped and molested. They said from people, they were the ones putting out the information. They were raped by a vaccine. Pump the brakes there, buddy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's an interesting way to eyes are really going all that. You know where's actually mad for it
Starting point is 00:30:01 and you'd be kind of surprised, TikTok? The TikTok kids love them some conspiracies, man. They go into all that pizza gate and like the Travis Scott thing. People were like, oh, that was obviously
Starting point is 00:30:11 a blood sacrifice ritual and all. Yeah. Best ignore them. It's good stuff. Have you been following, you know, the Novak Djokovic stuff? The tennis guy? No, I did not.
Starting point is 00:30:21 Yeah, okay. Well, he's like a tennis player. We won't get into it because who cares, like, but he's tennis player. He doesn't want to take a vaccine. he went to Australia he taught he'd be okay
Starting point is 00:30:30 and then Australia take this hoodie off yeah perfect yeah I'll just keep talking for a minute then Australia put him in prison basically at a four-star hotel
Starting point is 00:30:38 and but he's like who gives a shit about tennis so like if you don't know about tennis you wouldn't know but he's like the best in the world yeah exactly
Starting point is 00:30:46 he's considered the greatest tennis player ever is it not in a corner cover or something well he's one of the best yeah also that's a woman yeah yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:30:53 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.
Starting point is 00:31:06 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.
Starting point is 00:31:27 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.
Starting point is 00:31:41 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.
Starting point is 00:31:57 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.
Starting point is 00:32:19 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
Starting point is 00:32:37 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,
Starting point is 00:32:49 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
Starting point is 00:33:00 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
Starting point is 00:33:11 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
Starting point is 00:33:24 I don't remember of Hesu 6-4 4th, 41. Save that for the Patreon, baby. But it was like, it was like destroying my brain. It was like, how can this exist? Because like it went into this whole
Starting point is 00:33:34 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.
Starting point is 00:33:45 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.
Starting point is 00:33:53 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.
Starting point is 00:34:07 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.
Starting point is 00:34:23 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
Starting point is 00:34:39 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
Starting point is 00:34:52 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.
Starting point is 00:35:06 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.
Starting point is 00:35:22 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.
Starting point is 00:35:35 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.
Starting point is 00:35:53 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?
Starting point is 00:36:10 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.
Starting point is 00:36:22 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
Starting point is 00:37:01 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
Starting point is 00:37:09 that's why I say everything that's why I'm an idiot I say things because it's fucking funny that's where my like whole drive is that sounds exhausting it's not man it's not because I'm like
Starting point is 00:37:18 your poor girlfriend you're walking around I'm doing George I'm not doing I'm not doing sidebel I'm sick get upset I'm not the only sign
Starting point is 00:37:29 about it I mean like I do anything that makes me laugh anything I think it's funny you know no I understand here's one for you
Starting point is 00:37:34 here's one for you right I had to go get some shots to go to Thailand oh yeah because you know for malaria and shit
Starting point is 00:37:41 exactly yeah yeah yeah so I went in and had to get the shot and I was in the room with just me and the nurse
Starting point is 00:37:45 and she's like all right so you do this is for that this is for this and she says if you get bit by a monkey
Starting point is 00:37:50 you have to go get a shot of rabies on the island I go okay cool what will I do what do I do if I bite the monkey and she was like
Starting point is 00:37:56 what? And it was just me and her in the room and she was like looking around going like did you just ask me what do you do if you bite a monkey? And that made me laugh when I left like a lot but it was just me and that woman in the room and she was like that's clearly a joke was she like sir do not bite a monkey
Starting point is 00:38:12 I cannot just stress that or no that's exactly what she said. Who told you to bite a monkey was it you other nurse? I'll have her fire she's always telling them to bite the monkeys but like that's the type of nonsense I'll do it's almost like, I don't want to get too self-helpy here, but that's like almost like a lifestyle to live, that's a good lifestyle.
Starting point is 00:38:31 Just like have a bit a bit of crack. Yeah. That's what, I mean, you gotta, you gotta take the fun where you can get it, you know? Oh, I do, but I love it, just being silly. Yeah. But that's like, it's not a dangerous. Like, there's other people like, oh, you're still having to crack, like, just took my cock out
Starting point is 00:38:46 and rubbed on the nurse's face. Like, it's not like that, you're not hurting anyone. You're having a crack like, that's what I mean. There's a fine line. Yeah. That's the thing, so I host a quiz in the bar and a bingo and doing bingo for drunk people is funny but like I've now after doing it for like two years I've developed this style with the audience that's like really blue comedy it's all sex and silly jokes but like I also say a lot of weird stuff like just you know numbers I won't go like the classic legs 11 when I do that because I get but then
Starting point is 00:39:11 I'll make a joke about legs 11 saying like that's the man at the at the fucking constructions like whistle at me when I walk past yeah not women I'll do that I'll make lots of jokes like but anything that says four I'll say like 84 my grandmother's a whore and everyone me like what the hell I go look I'm only joking guys she's dead and then I go
Starting point is 00:39:27 what the hell I'm only kidding she's still alive and they're like what I'm going to say you don't even know my fucking name he didn't ask
Starting point is 00:39:32 this is a joke and you bring out your grandmother like Craig please stop saying that look she's a whore look exactly
Starting point is 00:39:38 look at those cock suck on lips yeah no disrespect but she's still tight she's a good one but that's the thing
Starting point is 00:39:47 I go even worse I'm like I say my mom's a whore my sister's a whore and they all work in town and it's a family business I'm just picture
Starting point is 00:39:53 and someone just just came just to play bingo like why is this awful man I'm telling you it they do they fucking do some people are really freaked out what happened to two fat ladies
Starting point is 00:40:03 oh you can't say that anymore I say two brave gals ah two absolute queens yeah body positivity shit like that yeah I just but that's what I mean is like me being funny all the time
Starting point is 00:40:15 it's like I can try be funny all the time and then I eventually figure out how to make that land by saying other things and it grows I like to be like silly and funny all the time there's a real lack of self-hate I can feel from you like
Starting point is 00:40:25 Yeah Yeah There's a real like I'm proud of myself To finally become a comedian Yeah Well good for you I need some edibles
Starting point is 00:40:34 I need to go to Joshua tree Right now Yeah yeah You do that But it's like you have an epiphany I need to do a mass shooting I need to be Ireland's first mass shooter I said mass shoot by 21

Starting point is 00:41:21 It's like I'm gonna kill everyone Yeah and there's no moral to it there's no like message at all he just does it maybe there's a kind of a half message later on but like it's really just like
Starting point is 00:41:31 what if a guy he's not like bullied or anything 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 and he shoots all the women nice and you're like a hero
Starting point is 00:41:45 finally but that you a bowl guy he's sort of notorious for like all of his films are absolute dog shit but I think the rampage ones are considered the first one is kind of interesting
Starting point is 00:41:56 the second one then he takes over like a TV studio right okay he's got people hostage and he's like young man the corporations are bad
Starting point is 00:42:03 like network you know I'm mad as hell I fucking love that movie it's great film it's like lazy network where it's like a big speech just like yeah corporations bad
Starting point is 00:42:12 didn't he he actually challenged one of his critics to a boxing match and then they actually did it because like he makes absolute dog shit films so critics are always
Starting point is 00:42:22 going after him he's kind of like a punching bag kind of like an adam sander thing where they just always go you know give him bad reviews or whatever so he challenged like all of his critics like who wants to step into the ring with me boxing match let's do it and one of them actually said fuck it i'll fight you and they actually had a bit of a scrap then yeah i think uve won at the end but yeah he's a you know he's a german madman like funny the third one then it's really low budget so he goes to kill the president but all happens off camera oh yeah so it's just him walking to washington then it goes black here bang bang then you hear a news report the president is dead oh my a big explosion action packed it was so awesome it was great it was like independence day
Starting point is 00:43:02 live shit you know uh i don't know what fuck my talking about but uh yeah it hasn't been a big mass shoot in in ireland dunblane was the one in scotland yeah yeah i mean like school shooter we need an irish columbine you know if you know we don't i've decided there because we're recording this we don't yeah actually there's a movie i watched uh with what's name fucking well I think one of those actresses white actresses and there's a white actress
Starting point is 00:43:27 will have cut that out who's the girl from blacks one Natalie Portman yes yeah I think it's called vox pop or something like that okay oh is that what the movie's about so yeah she makes us a hit song about a school shooting
Starting point is 00:43:38 but the opening scene is a school shooting and it's fucking dark really it's fucking dark oh wow like a kid just like takes a fucking M15 out of his bag loads it up walks in just takes the teacher out and the whole class is to watch that
Starting point is 00:43:51 and they all just scrambled at her back in the room and he just empties the clip in the whole room. Damn. It is dark. I didn't know. They didn't put that in the marketing. And none of them survive, guys.
Starting point is 00:44:00 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.
Starting point is 00:44:09 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
Starting point is 00:44:22 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 I remember watching it enjoying it but it's a Jude law

Starting point is 00:48:06 Oh, what are we out here? Where? Okay, 54 minutes, so. 54 minutes, yeah. What do you try keep it to an hour every time? Yeah, yeah, we try to keep it as close. to an hour as we can see you won't start a podcast yeah well what'll be the crack with your one yeah i like for one i want to talk to comedians because i love comedy so much people ever but i also
Starting point is 00:48:23 present company i think i would like to start a podcast called either the red sauce comedy podcast or the grind and i'd love to talk to comedians about how much we have to work to get good yeah because and i'll be alienating for people who actually like you know like a coal miner no well that's this whole point is it a podcast going to be anything you want right yeah a lot of but there are a lot of people who enjoy comedy it's kind of you're very bitter and cynical now because you've been doing comedy for so long i'll actually though just interrupt you i have to take something back because a few episodes ago we made fun of uh my therapist ghosted me oh yeah yeah yeah you know that one it's uh joan mcnally and vogue williams yeah i was like oh it sounds dumb actually
Starting point is 00:49:02 it's not i actually liked it really i actually liked it yeah wow you know what i like about they're cunts okay yeah they're actually they're mean it's this podcast yeah joan mcnally and vogue williams they're two like women yeah it's so funny that's your glowing review they're such cugs yeah they're mean
Starting point is 00:49:20 they're not like Joanna's hilarious and Vogue Williams is just a celebrity I think she's there some celebrity yeah yeah she sells brillopads
Starting point is 00:49:26 down market fitness model or something like that you know how Gwyneth Paltrow has like you know stones up or con yeah Vigna kind Vogue has got brillopads up there
Starting point is 00:49:36 it's amazing that like she shubs them up and they come out even rougher Father Jack made candles out of his earwax she wants to manage to make
Starting point is 00:49:43 make canals out of our vagina wax. Exactly, yeah, yeah, yeah. But, like, they're really mean. Yeah, that's what's good. They're not, like, lived experience, I don't understand, but I appreciate. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They have, like, the producer called Joe, okay? Yeah, I assume he's, like, small, he's like, yeah, okay, I'll change the levels.
Starting point is 00:49:59 And they always make fun of him, they call him a prod. Yeah, they're always like, you're dumb prod. Yes. You could put it in my cunt, you wouldn't even get hard, would you, you've workedless piece of shit. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's great. They're really mean to him. I love that. I like that.
Starting point is 00:50:11 I like mean women. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just like calling you a little worthless bitch. Calling me a prod, even though I'm Catholic. Like, yes. It's good now, yeah, well, okay. So I'll recommend that there. I mean, Vogue is basically a worthless cunt.
Starting point is 00:50:25 But Joanne McNally... 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. Not funny, talented or intelligent, but boy, she's a cunt. Yeah, yeah. And that's what I like.
Starting point is 00:50:39 That's a nice broad description of a person. Yeah, yeah, yeah. boils it down four letters cunt it's good but yeah I'd I wouldn't recommend actually but if you like cunts you know where to go
Starting point is 00:50:50 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
Starting point is 00:51:01 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
Starting point is 00:51:12 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 you're kind of learning
Starting point is 00:51:24 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
Starting point is 00:51:39 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, if you liked a comic, you bought three vinals. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:50 And that was it. Yeah. And then you might, you know, see them... Bicentennial. Yeah. And you might see them on Carson.
Starting point is 00:51:59 Carson. Once every two years. Well, that's the thing. That's what's the old style was that if you got a TV spot, then it was like, come see me. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:05 No, you know you are. But now it's like, if you have a slightly viral video, it's like, come follow me and watch all my shit. so I've got sketches that people can enjoy
Starting point is 00:52:13 but then if I have like a weekly podcast yeah it would be pretty awesome yeah um oh I do it
Starting point is 00:52:18 yeah I know that's why I want to come up and talk to you boys yeah yeah yeah well we're happy I'll give you all
Starting point is 00:52:23 any advice you want yeah yeah so like here's so like don't get a Brian
Starting point is 00:52:28 way you here's one thing I'm shit at is consistency and I fear start this podcast I would put it out
Starting point is 00:52:34 like once a month maybe right but if I like this has been I can't believe I've already done an error
Starting point is 00:52:39 yeah it's it's so it's so fun and you've got to set up on doing it all so i think once if i have a setup i'm like all i've to go into is press record and start it could be pretty handy but then i like you have used you have used to i don't have anybody so i'm like do i need to get a guest every week yeah i mean it it's kind of one thing i personally know that i couldn't do the solo podcast thing you need to get someone regular yeah yeah it's too hard to like book a guest every even if someone's like you know you have them on every couple of weeks or so just because you know
Starting point is 00:53:10 life just gets in away all the time there's always something turns up and then it's just like you have a week down where it's like no one shows up yeah so you need someone to like yeah so one thing I think I would like to do is watch old or a new viral videos from Ireland and talk about them and just
Starting point is 00:53:26 insult them from Ireland yeah do you remember that I hear leave you now yeah yeah yeah I'd like to talk like that's my thing like the basis of my idea would be I would watch that video and then I would joke about that her voice Where else? A lot of people don't know
Starting point is 00:53:42 That was actually Vogue Williams Yeah Yeah, it's true Ah yeah, leave a deal Yeah That's where when she was shoving The Brillopad up You know
Starting point is 00:53:48 Yeah She was felled And then she just Start hitting the gym And just career took off there Yeah I don't know much About viral videos
Starting point is 00:53:54 In Ireland I don't watch that I mean there's I mean Man who slipped on the ice Was kind of Oh that's like A platinum
Starting point is 00:54:01 Platinum Yeah Yeah That's our thriller Yeah Yeah Like they put that on the news It's our sergeant pepper
Starting point is 00:54:07 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?
Starting point is 00:54:16 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
Starting point is 00:54:30 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,
Starting point is 00:54:42 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
Starting point is 00:54:53 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.
Starting point is 00:55:04 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.
Starting point is 00:55:16 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
Starting point is 00:55:29 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 of building the audience anymore. 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.
Starting point is 00:55:42 They punished, like, Irish audiences, but put no, just tripe. Do you remember the animated show they made a few years ago? I think Gart's lines worked on it. Okay. It was an animated show for RTE. You've never heard of it, okay?
Starting point is 00:55:56 Because they brought, they commissioned it, and they paid money for it, and then they were like, you were going to air at like 1.30. What was it called? At night. Like, it was something like family,
Starting point is 00:56:06 family bread or something like that. Okay. family bread it was a bread making family yeah or like the Simpsons something like that yeah that's the one
Starting point is 00:56:19 yeah but it was like it was a really good like someone they put a lot of time the animation looked nice and everything and they were like yeah we're going to air this like when everyone's asleep apart from like the the ravers and the junkies right after Euro news
Starting point is 00:56:32 yeah on the RTE player they have stuff like Frasier they have American yeah one tree hill trying to bring people onto their site it's like
Starting point is 00:56:40 just make more fucking Irish stuff man how much you get cost to buy the rights to Fraser yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:56:46 like just put all the money into only Irish like that's where their monies go on like who the fuck is watching Fraser on the RTE player
Starting point is 00:56:53 like they had Seinfeld on RT player for a while as well yeah yeah yeah it's like oh yeah I'm gonna watch that
Starting point is 00:56:58 but with commercials yeah unskippable two minute ads yeah it had Stephen called bear on the they've got some
Starting point is 00:57:06 weird shit like Mel place. That's one thing I'd love to hear on an interview is the fucking people that run RTA
Starting point is 00:57:13 yeah I'm like what the fuck goes on in there? D Forbes is her name D Forbes Yeah Don't worry Listerers We'll have
Starting point is 00:57:19 Her address for you Very soon Yeah I got my little birds Following her But it must be the same As the whole Hollywood thing that it's just like We have power
Starting point is 00:57:27 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
Starting point is 00:57:36 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.
Starting point is 00:57:48 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.
Starting point is 00:58:02 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
Starting point is 00:58:12 how shite it does they'll all still keep making money yeah I don't know it's it is very interesting I would love to know the sort of the process behind the creative decisions very little passion
Starting point is 00:58:24 maybe the sports side of it is a bit of passion because there who actually like the sport but I don't think I'm dedicated yeah yeah who have at least some interest but no one like making
Starting point is 00:58:33 fair city being like fuck yes yeah we are making gold here people. Yeah. Woo! Remember the secret RTU producer?
Starting point is 00:58:41 God, that was fun. But, like, are they just making stuff for everyone outside Dublin, basically? I think that's why they're so outdated. Yeah, I think,
Starting point is 00:58:49 I mean, really is just sort of albums that watch the telly, the RTE, whatever, yeah, I don't know. It must be. But anyway,
Starting point is 00:58:55 yeah, fuck RTU. That's the name of this episode. Now we finally got to that point. Yeah, I was on the fence for a long time. No secret cows here, my friend. Well, I think
Starting point is 00:59:07 RTE's 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
Starting point is 00:59:21 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
Starting point is 00:59:38 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
Starting point is 00:59:47 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
Starting point is 00:59:56 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
Starting point is 01:00:07 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
Starting point is 01:00:23 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
Starting point is 01:00:39 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
Starting point is 01:00:52 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.
Starting point is 01:01:03 Yeah. I'm so out of the loop. You wouldn't even know. Yeah. Oh, buddy. what's going on is it like push-ups I couldn't give a shit the room is I honestly think it's the best room in the country
Starting point is 01:01:14 for a comedy fantastic room it is it is beautiful just the interior the interior the intimacy the lighting the low ceiling it's perfect it is I think it's the best room
Starting point is 01:01:23 in the country for comedy even has a green room for comics to hang out it's a lovely green room it's fucking awesome I can't believe I got it I would sure love to do it sometime
Starting point is 01:01:32 yeah we'll do someday buddy so again we know each of this check that out see that who brought that up yeah the listeners
Starting point is 01:01:41 don't know what you're doing Dublin's next top comic 2019 if they listen to this show they know what I'm doing what is that from the bullshit yeah the bullshit
Starting point is 01:01:49 I won that oh you fucking son of a bitch nice yeah I'll put a word to order to order and just put James in the bill
Starting point is 01:01:55 who is this lady who runs everything she's mysterious orla hey no attention to the orla behind the car
Starting point is 01:02:02 is this just E-Man no Orla no All I used to work in the comedy seller in the international. So she knows comedy. Oh, I probably know her face then.
Starting point is 01:02:12 Yeah, so she, 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,
Starting point is 01:02:20 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 all the clubs for spots, right? So I'll just be like, Grant,
Starting point is 01:02:30 just email the page that goes onto a list and then when she's putting bills together she knows most comedians or people will just send their material which is a smart thing to do if you, if you're a new comic listened to this at all you can't have to put together
Starting point is 01:02:40 a comedy CV with your gigs and your fucking videos instead. I haven't even emailed ourselves like very cunty of me to go yeah give me a gig I was like I started
Starting point is 01:02:51 the club in the bar which was like an apartment where I started which was a nice room really nice room yeah it was just the only thing about it was a little far out
Starting point is 01:02:58 of time it was a really nice room I was saying to this to you earlier genuinely probably the best gig of my life I had in that room The crowd were just incredible that night No one wants to hear about how well you did We like to hear about it
Starting point is 01:03:11 Just see would you give me anything Can I have anything Can I just say Hey one time I did a good set And you're just like It's a trophy You're gonna alienate the audience Yeah yeah
Starting point is 01:03:22 Are you've been on stitches before In that room? I love that room yeah Yeah so like when we got good audiences The shows were good like Yeah And I got a carpenter And even built us a small four foot stage
Starting point is 01:03:33 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
Starting point is 01:03:44 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
Starting point is 01:03:52 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 Yeah you're going to be like out in the smoking room Okay Yeah it's like against the wall Like what people are like
Starting point is 01:04:01 At a cavalry You're like what the fuck is going on So I love a show Like the lights go down The music's come off Welcome to the show Like I like that So the fact that we got to workmen cellar
Starting point is 01:04:09 Now where Stitches Comedy Club is now Every Monday You've got something there Everybody listen to this If you haven't been to Stitches Go to Stitches Because they always have great comedians But the fucking room is beautiful
Starting point is 01:04:19 Yeah It really is It's fantastic Even last night There was like a mediocre New comedian on That even his little jokes Were you know
Starting point is 01:04:28 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
Starting point is 01:04:41 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 2020, it's going to be on doors at five show will start at six sharp and we finish 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
Starting point is 01:04:58 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
Starting point is 01:05:15 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
Starting point is 01:05:33 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,
Starting point is 01:05:49 isn't it? I genuinely know a guy he was like, when I won that their thing, he was like, shit talking me to the guys around was like, why did he win? He didn't deserve to win. And then he was also, like, emailing the laughter lounge. Like, he was only, he's only started about six months and he was email
Starting point is 01:06:04 on the last one's like put me on I'm ready I'm ready coach put me in some people go it goes to the head straight with a good set I've had good sets and I've emailed people with that secco like don't tell Brian he doesn't like to hear that
Starting point is 01:06:16 this is where I'm at now I have a good set and I think it's like you have to have a good set and then shop it around and show people 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
Starting point is 01:06:30 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
Starting point is 01:06:40 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
Starting point is 01:06:54 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
Starting point is 01:07:06 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
Starting point is 01:07:22 It makes you happier about being a comedian Because like when I'm not in clubs When I'm not in clubs and I'm watching like the social media I'm so bitter But I'm going to win in clubs like I have that security that I'm in clothes I'm doing my thing
Starting point is 01:07:33 I'm even more bitter I'm like yeah what are you doing up there? As happy as I am I'm like I'm fucking so jealous to crack down
Starting point is 01:07:39 as like four or five nights a week and they have that so much stage time that I'm like fuck them they get like 50 minutes a week each to do 10 minutes you're right the bitterness
Starting point is 01:07:46 fades away very quickly yeah so like being in the clubs like it's like the medicine yeah I don't do I have to say now bitterness I can turn off very easily
Starting point is 01:07:54 like I sometimes like I sometimes yeah of course but like really like I just don't care that much like so even like sometimes this. Like, even like with the Vogue Williams
Starting point is 01:08:02 drama, I was like, oh, you can't, cunt. I don't give it. I don't care. Yeah, of course. And like, Vogue is actually funny. But that's not going to be like, they're actually quite nice. And that's it, okay? You have to like, up it a bit for the podcast. That's your show. That's your show. That's the thing. It's called
Starting point is 01:08:17 Bray James fuck each other. We're fucking over. Yeah. Yeah. Where the whole gimmick is we're horrible. That's the thing. That's the shi. But when you're in the room, when you're gig in and you're with someone like, it's a lot of energy like, you're actually shit. I disagree with your comedy style?
Starting point is 01:08:32 I would never do that never you'd have to be insane to be like see you you suck you do comedy wrong but I do it the right way I'm like Hicks yeah take a seat and it's taking clags we were talking about
Starting point is 01:08:44 Michael Royce likes writes every day you guys doing any writing at all I do write I write I write um I have a Google doc that I write a lot in but a lot of it is just point that a lot of actually be honest with it is like kind of a cry for help I feel trapped you all miss me when I'm talking
Starting point is 01:09:00 A lot of the best stuff has came to me always watching TV or something at night I have to jump up and write something down like I have a notepad like almost every room
Starting point is 01:09:06 in my house because I like buying them just because it's the right shit down and it's always like an absolute car crash handwriting but I was going to say writing
Starting point is 01:09:15 I think I've lost my point already that's brilliant thanks lads no actually I remember one week when clubs opened up I was like right I have to get back into writing
Starting point is 01:09:23 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
Starting point is 01:09:35 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
Starting point is 01:09:51 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
Starting point is 01:10:04 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
Starting point is 01:10:12 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
Starting point is 01:10:22 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
Starting point is 01:10:32 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
Starting point is 01:10:39 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
Starting point is 01:10:49 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
Starting point is 01:10:58 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
Starting point is 01:11:06 I'm trying but like doing COVID at the start of it I was like I'll try to keep it going and I did a week of writing for an hour a day and I just put my best jokes out online
Starting point is 01:11:14 yeah yeah 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
Starting point is 01:11:22 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
Starting point is 01:11:28 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 I was like alright yeah yeah
Starting point is 01:11:40 but then at the end of the week I like stopped on Friday obviously drank a bazillion cans and probably did some cocaine and then woke up on Monday and just like gave up yes like pandemic it was a dark time I mean you do need the card it's always a little fun thing it's like when you go up to the stage
Starting point is 01:11:54 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 the one you thought was great, the crowd don't give you anything the one you thought
Starting point is 01:12:04 was a throwaway gag they're like they're like ripping their clothes off A lot of my writing is that is like you laughed at that line yeah yeah exactly yeah that's always a fun little oh you like that
Starting point is 01:12:15 okay and then I'm like trying to like laying from that I'm like what about how do I yeah yeah yeah stupid then the girls all get their tits out
Starting point is 01:12:23 and you're like yes I'm God yes yeah because I have so debate I said I was walking on for a whole whole week is about sex drives and I talk about
Starting point is 01:12:31 like the female sex drive is like a Ferrari and I talk about like a Ferrari and it's like some lads can get in a Ferrari and drive at 35 miles an hour not knowing it go up to 200 miles an hour and I'm like you know what I mean? And like the audience last night didn't say it and I was like so you don't know what I mean it was like lads I don't really know what you mean be honest I'm not sure they have sex drives
Starting point is 01:12:46 yes they're meant to enjoy it yeah but like people say like sex is like pizza like it's always good shove a pineapple up there you'll have a lot of fun exactly yeah spiky bottle Yeah, something fun there
Starting point is 01:13:00 But then My other tagline was I said Like some guys can experience Again about the Ferrari But it's the female sexual Some guys can experience Some guys are just highly skilled But some guys just ask the Ferrari
Starting point is 01:13:12 What she likes And I thought that was real smart Like yeah Ask the ladies what they like And it just dies Like almost every time I do it For meets Maybe something like luck here
Starting point is 01:13:23 If you don't know the way Ask the Satnav You know Or something like that Yeah that's a G spot I don't know. I think I can't
Starting point is 01:13:29 like a reverse edelier a mild clap from like AD McQueen last night and she was like that's good and I was like thank you
Starting point is 01:13:34 someone laugh and it sometimes you know what sometimes you can dance around it too much you need somebody to be like
Starting point is 01:13:39 your pussies are like cars I also think the audiences I've been doing this jokes are all young students right
Starting point is 01:13:45 because like young girls don't know that like if you just they haven't figure out their own bodies yet maybe and maybe they don't know
Starting point is 01:13:50 just do this exactly for me and I'm there to teach them no but I mean that's an honest the old you get and the more
Starting point is 01:13:58 I get you Yeah, so people know what they like So I think that's why like Aiden's like she's fucking In her 30s she knows what she likes That's why yeah Older women are better to ride Yeah definitely
Starting point is 01:14:06 You're so great about older women Because it's like a younger one was like Oh my God I can't believe we're doing this The older ones is like stick it in quick All right I got places to go I got a pot noodle on Come on hurry up
