Betsy Spear.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Thank you, thank you very much.
Yes.
Our third guest, we had Matthew Tallinn.
Yeah.
Then we had, then we had Ali O'Rourke, who was really, really interesting, like, like, we've been talking after the podcast about shit, like, kayaking and stuff.
Like, she's, she's trans, she's cool in general.
What have you got?
What have I got?
I can rap in Korean.
Wow.
That's pretty cool.
Move over at your horse.
That is so cool.
Korean.
Yeah.
I can speak Korean pretty well.
Hit us up with some Korean.
Can we read a rap in Korean?
Sure, go for it.
Okay.
Kaju-kajun-heh.
I'm pretty sure one of those was the end word.
What was that?
That was so cool.
I actually don't know what that means.
I just memorized the sounds.
It's, oh my God, it could be something really bad, yeah.
Yeah, maybe.
Wow, it's just pure sexist.
But it sounds very nice coming from you.
Yeah, how did that happen?
Well, first we should explain who the fuck you are.
You're a very funny comedian based around Dublin.
But originally from Chicago, is that right?
Yep, from Shytown.
Shy town, nice.
I know what that means, yeah.
Shytown.
Well, I'm actually, I tell everyone I'm from Chicago,
but the truth is I'm one of the suburban trash.
That's from the outskirts of the city.
That likes to pretend I'm from the city.
like a mall rat.
Yeah, exactly.
Actually, Mean Girls was filmed
really close to my town.
Is that right?
Yeah.
That's cool.
I like Mean Girls.
Yeah.
You seem like you would like mean girls.
Yeah, I could relate to
the Lindsay Lohan character.
Yeah.
And it was like, yeah, I'm,
get revenge on them.
Yeah, exactly.
For being pretty.
Because that's what they deserve,
apparently.
Yeah.
It's a musical now.
But anyway, so that's,
and then how,
so you're from Chicago.
Yep.
And you're living in Ireland now
doing Sandlove.
Yeah.
And then somewhere along the way,
you learned Korean rap?
Yeah, well, I lived in South Korea
for one year.
That's all the same.
In 2014.
Because I remember the first time I saw you
were talking about,
was it Vietnam or Korea?
Korea, yeah.
Oh, I thought you went to Vietnam.
No.
I thought it was pretty,
oh, right, okay.
I thought you were there, like...
I thought that would explain
your PTSD.
Yeah.
I thought you were there like,
pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew.
Didi Mao, that means hurry up.
So why were you in Korea?
Were you studying?
I was, yeah, I was studying.
Um, and I was studying.
and I went over there
because I was one of those really basic
bitches that got into K-pop, but I got
into K-pop before it was cool.
Okay.
That's cool because me and James,
I assume James is the same in my book,
or we don't know anything about K-pop.
No, I'm very, I mean, I know what it is.
I don't even know what the K stands for.
Korean.
Oh.
Well, now I know.
I'm going to laugh at you.
I didn't know that either, but, oh, you fool.
You want culture and slime.
Yes, honor.
You'll be, I won't do it one.
Don't do devices when we're recording.
Do you save that for you're drunk?
Yeah, yeah.
In the Chinese.
Hit little a piece, four in a lot.
So what was it like over there?
It was really good.
It was a bit strange because I was taller than everyone.
I'm like five foot nine.
I feel like a god.
I took a dance class and none of the guys wanted to dance with me.
Gollyga!
And everyone else was called back.
Shut up you.
there's a lady here
okay so they wouldn't dance
yeah it's what was this different kind of culture
maybe they'd be shy
no um I think it was I took a dance class
and I knew like a little basic Korean
and I was the only non-Korean in the class
and the teacher and there was like 50 of us
and the teacher asked the class
oh who here wants to dance with the foreigner
and she said it in Korean like she thought
I didn't understand and no one
raised their hands. Yeah don't say it like that
the foreigner that sounds like you're the dud
yeah like who wants to
with that fucking you
Yeah, with that really tall, pale, fucking weird-looking girl.
So you just had to dance by yourself?
I think she, like, forced someone to dance with me.
And then you were like, I'll show them and you learn to rap.
Yeah, exactly.
In their language, just to rub it in.
Do like a Korean eight mile where you're with their respect in the basement.
Yeah, nice.
That's pretty cool.
Korean eight mile.
Oh, we can do some voices to that.
We won't.
I love it how you guys always like to walk the border with racism.
Yeah.
Well, something.
Well, we've got friends.
of different nationalities.
I know an Italian guy, so it's okay.
It's fine, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So you've been doing stand-up now in Dublin.
Yes, I have.
How are you finding that?
You're still fresh, like...
Yeah, I've been doing it about a year.
You're still new in the scene, is what I meant to say.
Yeah, it hasn't now beating me down completely.
How long have you been doing it?
About a year.
About a year.
Me and James are old road dogs, you know?
That's right, yeah, yeah.
James, you said like two years?
Well, I'm like three years now.
Three years, yeah.
Well, I suppose I'm four, but not like four years of just proper doing it because like I keep like, you know, I'm loving the hospital or like going away for a while.
So, you know, college and dropping out college gets in a way of stand up.
But now I'm trying to go full, full hard into it like, yeah, just balls like, balls deep and it's not going well.
Oh, I'm going.
I actually am going to America to Boston.
So that's kind of like.
Oh, I love Boston.
Yeah.
So I'm like trying to pop into Chicago.
Yeah.
I've got friends in Chicago.
Cool.
Did you ever do any gigs in Chicago?
I actually never did any gigs in America.
I've only done gigs in Ireland.
Have you got plans to go back?
I am going to America in May to visit my family in Texas.
Are you a bit afraid that you've grown as a stand-up in Ireland?
And Irish people are kind of like big idiots, so it's easy to make them laugh.
Are you worried that you're kind of like a big fish and small pond here in Dublin when you go to America?
It's like, welcome to the big leagues.
I'm actually worried about pissing off Americans because I make fun of us a lot.
and I don't know if they can like especially in Texas they have they're really patriotic
and so if I go on stage and I'm like that's Americans we're so stupid right you've a bit in the act
where you burn an American flag which exactly they don't like that in Texas yeah I know they're
big into like a lot of executions and stuff over there still still like death penalty yeah
what do you think about the I don't think there should be a death penalty but I'm controversial
She'll stay in, wow, wow.
Betty's hot take.
My aunt, I was listening to your last episode before here, and you guys were talking about judges.
Yes.
And my aunt is a judge in Texas.
Oh, wow.
She kills people on the reg.
No, well, she does misdemeanor stuff now because the felony stuff was too hard for her to handle.
Okay, I suppose she's a good person then, is why you were saying.
Did she ever put anyone to death?
Could we get her on the show?
Maybe, I'll ask her.
I love to Skype.
Her Skype runs the show on them.
I'm just like.
During a live.
execution.
She's like,
fry that turkey.
Well, that's so cartooned me.
Well, that's really cool.
She's like a judge in Texas.
She, I remember one time, oh, man,
maybe I should, oh, well, I don't care.
We can call it out.
Yeah, we can cut it out.
We'll be saying that, we won't call it out,
but we'll tell you that.
Okay.
What is it?
So when I was, like, 14 years old,
and she doesn't have kids,
and so she doesn't,
she didn't really know what to do with me.
So she had to work,
and she was like,
I'll just let the bailiff go.
show you around the prison like for fun right and so he did oh no it's not going to be like
signs of lambs is it no no it was like they definitely uh so good sorry come we i remember he went to
the check-in area and there was some guy that was getting checked in and the bailiff and i were
standing like two feet away from him and he was like yeah so this is where all the like the criminals
get checked in and stuff and you usually do like a like a scan scan their eye to see if we have
previous records on them and then the
receptionist lady scanned his eye
and he's like alright can you turn the screen towards us
so yeah so we can see over here that he's
been previously prosecuted before like just
showing me this 14 year old girl
all this private information
and the guy is standing right there like
what the fuck
that is mad did he have a bad rap sheet
what's the worst thing he did not paying his TV
license oh I think assault also
also murder assault and like as a 14 year old
girl but there's any part you're going like
yeah fucking
I want to be part of this
Come on, let me at him
I want to put the needle in
A little bit
What was your auntie?
Yeah, my aunt
Well that sounds
Oh you know what I said I hated all judges before
But I think she sounds pretty cool
Yeah, she's real cool
Well definitely I'm saying that now
She's one of the good ones
It's her judge dread
And the Asian lad who did OJ
What about Judy
Judge Judy?
No, I don't know
Anti-Semad
So
What?
No
No, she definitely has something about her
It wasn't anti-Semitism, but she got done for something really bad.
Actually, no, I do like, there's another judge.
Have you seen that gay judge?
No, who's the gay judge?
Well, you know, he really marks himself.
He's, I think his name, I forget, he's like, it's a reality he needs show.
And he's real, like, you know, like, oh, honey, you don't go there, slam the gavel.
Like, he's real just like, I'm laying down the law.
Mm-hmm.
And, like, there's a bit in it where, like, this girl is like, you know, she's being real, like,
ooh, well, uh, maybe I'm innocent, maybe I'm not.
A girl like me.
wouldn't do anything like that and he's like honey you're backing up the wrong tree execution
i like that impression yeah which is pretty offensive of course it is wow really offensive
hand gestures too oh you didn't see i was proper like once we get a video camera where they
incriminated irrefutably it's definitely going to do some time it's all in good taste we're all
here in blackface but they can't tell uh does say that james there's a lady in the room there is um what do you
do actually non-comedy wise
oh my real job why are you in Ireland
I went to uh
well let's see I as a joke
I was like you guys the 2016
election Trump is going to
might be president so I'm just going to
bail ship if that happens
and I left to go to Europe
to come to Europe and he actually did become
president so I just stayed
here you came to Europe for a more
like stable
government relations
Nothing's going on in Europe right now
It's going to get worse
It's going to get ready
It's going to be proper civil war
You've seen Mad Max
Yeah yeah
It's going to be like
You know you'll be okay
You're American
So you love like diplomatic community
They'll chopper you out
Like Saigon
But uh
And we'll just be there
Try to hide you our baby
We'll just be there
And then we'll just be like
And get shot by Jerry
We're like kicking us all
But we're trying to clap her
On to that helicopter
I'm just like
Godspeed
Tell us
story. So is Ireland your first stop in Europe or did you travel around a little bit? No, I just came
I came here for grad school and then I finished. I was at the UCD School of Physics for space
science technology. Oh yeah, I remember you're a smart person. That's debatable. I don't think I was
definitely not the smartest of my class. That's for sure. I don't know anything about physics.
I never studied like basic secondary school physics or chemistry. I just feel like physics. It's like a bag of
like a bag of fetters.
Okay.
It smells the same.
That's very progressive.
Or something, yeah.
There's no difference.
Yeah.
And like, wait, I want to get on something next.
So, Trump, are you, are you sick of people asking you about Trump?
Yes.
We can talk about it.
No, like, even like, I know some people are like, oh, you're a comedian, sure.
I bet Trump's great for the old jokes, isn't he?
And it's like, no.
No, not at all.
I'm not going to, like, go, like, all these people get deported by get some jokes.
I'm not going to make that decision, you know?
Plus, it's kind of like, it's hard because he's so ridiculous.
It's kind of like, if he had to write jokes about an episode of Seinfeld.
It's kind of, it's already crazy.
Exactly.
But the Mueller, have you been following that the Mueller report came out?
Yeah, that he was supposedly, they didn't find any.
Well, they didn't find any concrete evidence, but me and James were talking about the Bloody Sunday report.
And it's kind of like that where they didn't, by the way, where it was Trump during Bloody Sunday?
Yeah, exactly.
Like, they didn't find any concrete evidence that he was involved, but they didn't, they found lots of suspicious shit.
but people don't
So the way it worked
is Mueller wrote his big report
And then the Attorney General
William Barr
Is it a Barr
I'm not sure
It's not Bill Burr
It's not Bill Burr
That's all
Trump
Collusion what's going on
I hate women also
That's old Billy Redface
Heard
No collusion
By the way
This is an epidemic
A gold digging
Who was
Ah me on these
Yeah so he like
Read a summer
of it and he says there's no collusion
and then they're saying like
you should release the whole thing. Oh they're only releasing like
little bits? They're only because they'll be
going to be all redacted. Oh right okay.
Well it's kind of like if they did say it was
collusion, like the worst that
happened he goes like oh you got me
and he goes back to his golden tower.
I mean like there's already so much shit
going on with the
Trump presidency that like nothing
has been done about like him talking about
grabbing women by the pussy and then like the
blatant nepotism. Yeah.
going on and it's just like oh well that's just
America now so it is
it's kind of like what does he have to do
to like get because like it seems like any
other president like look at the whole
Bill Clinton's sex scandal obviously
like the stuff he said maybe isn't quite as
concrete as you know some residue
on a dress but that's how
they got him by the way I know yeah
oh of course oh I've seen it yeah
I've seen it up close what does he got to do in the
museum
well you even said I could shoot people in Times Square
no one's what Trump said is literally like
bragging like a fucking like mafioso guy like hey i could bang someone in the
fucking head did love me but now you're here and it's kind of like irish politics is much more
gentle and just kind of boring and tedious dude you guys i keep asking people what the
difference is between the two major parties here and everyone's like ah they're basically
the same and no one will give me a concrete answer they are no one knows i don't know finnigail and
finafoil i don't know what their differences are really finna gale if i had to like make a comparison
in, I think Fina Gailer in power now
and they're a little bit more like
ooh, you know, a little bit of
taxes and
you know, less sensible government
and then Fina Fah a little bit more like
hey, hey, less tax is more fun.
They're Italian, they're Italian.
Yeah, yeah, they're Italian house basically.
They're looking at girls
through the window and stuff.
Because that was like, they were in charge
during the boom time. So they were more like,
hey, fucking regulation, shmeggulation,
Banking do what they want
Yeah, yeah
Is that an Irish turn?
Schmegulation
No, it's something
Schmeagmilation
But yeah, so it kind of went
So that's kind of
And then like
Sinn Féin are kind of like
The Tea Party or something
I don't know
Yeah, they're very
Like because their roots
Are still very closely
Everyone associated Sinn Féin
With the IRA
Who are like, you know
The sexy terrorists
Of the 80s
Kind of like the ISIS of the 80s
Everybody knew the IRA
In the 80s
Yeah
Like I didn't realize that
But like America
Like ever watch any like
80s action movies
revolving around terrorism
the IRA always get a mention
they're mentioned
to die the example it's kind of like
the IRA were kind of like
saved by the bell
yeah that's that's a big
if the IRA is like saved by the bell
then ISIS would be
well I was saying like
because they're trying to bring the IRA back
now
oh really
because of Brexit
but it's kind of like you know
remember they did
save by the bell
a new class
I didn't want to save by the bell
I'm too young for that
oh god
no how old are I'm 24
how old are you're 24 I'm 24
oh look that
I think they had this conversation.
Oh, look, we're all buddies.
We're all in our 20s.
I'm not 20.
Yeah, it doesn't matter.
29.
Hey, look, we're all friends here.
Yeah.
On your way off the door.
I know, I know.
The fact that you said, oh, when I said 29,
like I just had a terminal illness like I've been diagnosed.
He's like an old dog.
The other dog were like the back legs don't work anymore.
Things are going wrong.
Yeah, I've got like a cone around my neck.
And everyone's like, they know.
eventually like it's like when are we going to bring him to the vet next week or do we
like we should probably do it tomorrow so i just crawl under the house so i can die alone
that's what dogs do isn't that die dark oh yes it was yeah yeah that's what i'm based on
well he's already out the door that's right and um are you any plans to go back anytime soon
um to move back to america well i'm not i'm not asking you to leave i just mean like uh
i need to see the family or yeah okay i'm going to Vegas with my grandma
Vegas.
Yeah.
Vegas with your grandmother.
Yeah, she's really cool.
Yeah, it's a sitcom waiting to happen.
Wait a minute.
You're going to Amsterdam with your mother.
I know, yeah.
Really?
That's true.
Yeah, well, that's because my brother lives there.
So I've never been to Amsterdam.
So the first time, I'm going next week with my mother.
So that's going to be very strange.
They both sound like fun movies.
Like, you're bringing your granny to Vegas and like, oh no.
D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-T-20 on black.
Yeah.
Grandma, get out.
That's a brothel.
she's dancing with like nail strippers and stuff like that
and then your mother's just stoned
yeah just cleaning the windows in the red light district
these girls look very hungry
she's offering them scones
get them a sweater
you'll catch your death
but do you have a very typical Irish mother
yeah I would say that and
you know she's uh yeah so let's
let's go through the checklist she was very religious
physically abusive, passive, aggressive,
all the Irish trains.
That's fun Irish mammy.
Well, we have a thing in Ireland
Irish mammies. Like, oh, they're crazy, you know.
But it's basically isn't all mothers like that
in terms of like they're a bit overbearing.
They're a little bit controlling.
I don't know. I was the middle child,
so I was forgotten about, which was kind of...
No, don't say, oh, because I got away with...
I got to do whatever the fuck I wanted, so it was great.
Betsy in the middle, kind of like...
Yeah, Betsy in the middle.
You were the genius.
Ah, because you do like space.
science. Yeah, you are the genius.
Yeah, you're like Frankie Munoz.
Then you're going to, you know what happened to him.
Oh, didn't he what? He got like a memory.
Yeah, he has strokes now.
Oh, he has strokes. He drives race cars and has strokes, which is a good combination.
Let's make things interesting.
That's a great reality show.
What's going to happen?
Life is insane.
Oh no, it's unfair, wasn't it?
Unfair, yeah. Yeah, they just crashes.
So you're in a middle child. What do your siblings do?
Let's see, my sister is a waitress, and my brother, he is, he's super, super religious, and he's, like, works for the YMCA in Colorado.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
He's, like, he's probably going to, like, run his own cult one day.
You think?
Yeah.
Were your parents really religious?
No.
So he just, of his own volition, he's, like, a very, like, okay.
We don't have to get too into this, but, like, is there any reason why he got religious?
Or just, he just saw sense?
I don't know.
I think, you know, he's one of those people.
that would either get
like basically he's just
he's kind of weirdo
and you would either get really religious
or just like high on drugs
so I'm really glad he's got
the religious high
yeah some people there are
just got that addictive gene
and they got to get into something
and it's better that than like
some kind of weird anime shit
you know
you mean like K-pop?
No no K-pop is
it's not just a way of life
it's also a genre of music
you know
K-pop now
wasn't there a scandal recently
where they were like
Oh there was oh my god
That broke my heart you guys
Because it was Sungri
Sungli from Big Bang
And he was arrested
For basically like
Giving out prostitutes
To business people
Oh
Well let's steady on that
And he was my favorite
What's wrong with that
I don't know
I guess he's also
He was also kind of a bit of a sex deviant
There was like a thing
A few years
Well wait wait wait hang on that
What's wrong
Korean R Kelly
Wait wait wait wait wait
There's a big difference between, like, some prostitutes and being a sex TV and, like, pissing on, like, 14-year-olds.
Yeah, yeah.
Was he actually doing anything bad?
Because so far, no, were they, like, trafficked or something?
Like, what?
I don't know the details I just know he got.
But they're really, like, another member of that band, he was arrested for smoking pot.
And that made me like him even more.
I was like, dude, Homeboy just wants to chill, right?
Yeah.
But now everyone in Korea hates him, and they're like, oh, he's a drug addict.
And they hate him, but they kind of, like, they love him.
well, you know. No, I think his international
non-Korean fans like him more.
Yeah, I'd say, if I'm giving a career
voice, what's his name? T-O-P.
T-O-P. Well, if T-O-P's listen, I'd say, get the
fuck out of Korea. They're only holding you back. They're holding
you back, okay? You get out of there.
The people, your true fans in Korea
will respect you more for it. Don't, like,
warp yourself down
for the fucking masses, you know? What's that
thing? A camel's a horse that
lost its humps? A camel's
a horse designed by commission? Yeah, that,
yeah, yeah, yeah. I've never heard this.
Oh, that's a good, it's a good little
metaphor because it's kind of like the horse
is beautiful but the camel's more practical
ah I like that
yeah so wait is it like
people don't smoke weed in Korea
it's like really you get caught with
like a smidge of pot
you're looking at five years
my friend got chased in Korea
I'm not joking I'll say his name
Jason B

Jay Brennan
I wonder you with that company
yeah yeah but he
he was smoking a bit and he got
he said it was like a problem
or like blade runner
like they were chasing him

ducking and dive in like hop over
like the cops are chasing

I haven't.
It's like, it was described to me as like an American misfits.
Maybe that's your own misfits.
It's kind of like, what do you say, X-Meny, kind of like it's a school kid.
Yeah, yeah.
It's definitely X many.
If I was doing the elevator pitch, you know, Elevator.
page, it's like the real quick pitch. It's like, yo man, it's like X-Men meets
Breakfast Club. Oh, that's pretty cool.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's kind of like, the kids, they're confused.
Emilio Estevez.
I thought it was weird how, uh, I don't know, can I give spoilers for that?
Of course you can. I thought it was weird how, um, the two siblings got into a romantic
relationship with each other. He's like, oh, they're adopted, so it's okay.
Well, here's the big debate, and I'm glad you brought this up because I wanted to,
because I, again, I'm running for president.
We have a big platform.
If you're adopted,
is it incest.
The Woody Allen argument.
Oh, you guys were talking about Woody Allen.
You love talking about incest and pedophiles on this show.
I love it.
We don't love it.
It just comes up naturally every single time.
Totally organically.
I'm just, I'm just really interested in it.
In fact, talking pedophiles, I was laughing at the idea of, like,
you know, the Nirvana album, Nevermind.
Yes.
There was a naked child on it.
you know, Nirvana.
I'm so bad with culture.
Oh, wow, never mind.
You've got your head in space, you know.
Yeah.
So there's an album, it's a naked baby on it.
Swimming in a pool.
Yeah, but it's artistic.
But I was laughing at the idea of like,
so that's kind of like a get out of like,
that's child porn, but it's artistic
so you get away with it.
Yeah.
So like he literally pints to the guards
and go like, look at that.
Hey, you can't rest me for that.
Yeah, you're fucking idiot.
You could like master be on the bus to that.
Yeah.
they just have to sit there
grooving on it
and everyone who walks by
it's like hey
I love Nirvana
awesome
just appreciating heart
man
yeah just like
I imagine Dave Grohl and court
how do you explain this
and he just presses play
Duhna
Teen Spirit starts playing
Do you know it smells like teen spirit
I have that on my Spotify playlist
Oh wow
Do you know the story of Nirvana
and what happens to
Curse?
No what's the story
He shot himself
The lead singer
Shot himself yeah
Oh no
I'm sorry to ruin this
You're like the first person I've ever met that didn't know that
Yeah
It's like this is breaking news everyone
Kirk Cobain is dead
We'll stay with this story all night if we have to
Yeah he was like the lead singer and people
Like loved him and then like he died
At the height of his fame
It's kind of like if Justin Bieber
Shot himself right now
Justin Bieber I have a bet with someone
That he's going to be divorced by June
Well he's married to Baldwin
Is Haley Baldwin
I hope does I don't like the way you're against love
against manufactured love
designed by record companies
Betsy's all about science and facts
and I'm like no they love each other
it's definitely not a marketing ploy
what are you into
K-pop and what am I into K-pop
you're just so different than us
I like it
I don't know what else I'm into comedy
and K-pop and oh Star Trek
I've got in Star Trek lately
yeah they're bringing Picard back
Oh, for, like, the new...
They're going, no, doing a separate Picard series.
Oh, that's right, I heard his freaking, Sir Patrick Stewart.
He never ages.
Well, the thing is, like, you know, ball don't crack.
Ball don't crack.
Yeah, I've heard that expression.
Yeah, that's true.
So, like, yeah, that'd be cool.
I wasn't a big Star Trek fan growing up.
In fact, I was kind of scared because I was already a nerd when I was growing up.
So I was kind of weird that I might contaminate myself even more.
So, like, I like Doctor Who and, like, comic books, and I like planets as well.
You can't hide who you are.
I learned that the hard way.
Like, well, like, when I was in school, I was trying to.
So I'd be like, yo, what's up with the footy?
You know, like that?
And they'd be like, get out of here, Brian, I'd scabber away.
Yeah, yeah.
And then they put you in a bin.
Yeah.
Back to reading books about Mars and shit.
Well, it was funny because I was a nerd, but I was also dyslexic.
So it was like...
So you were, oh, like, like, Millhouse, when he was like, oh, I'm a nerd, but I'm not like a smart nerd.
Yeah, that's exactly why I was.
You got the glasses and everything.
I've got the comparison before.
Millhouse, yeah, yeah, like if Millhouse was from Carlo.
Yeah, if Millhouse had even worse life.
Your dad's a big player in the Cracker factory.
What are we talking about? So you're into Star Trek and stuff like that.
Look at my sweater. Vulcan in the streets, a cling on in the sheets.
Oh, that's good. Klingon? Like, crock, crook.
Yeah, they're like weird beast with the weird...
So you're very honourable in the sheets and a warrior.
Exactly. I like murder in the sheets.
Okay.
I can get away because I'm a woman.
like she just stabs the man in the head
like a praying mantis
I'll stop that
Is that actual Klingon? No, of course it's not
I don't know. Can you speak? I can't speak
I can't speak clearly. Okay, all right. It's actually
they used to have
Wikipedia used to have a logo
of different languages. All right
and used to have Klingon in it but actually
replaced Klingon with Nigerian which is kind of
like a bit racist. Wow, Jesus.
They're like
Ah, they're both funny made-up language.
You put funny made-up languages.
So you've been doing comedy a year, Betsy.
Yeah.
So why did you wait to come to Ireland to do it?
What was like the motivation there?
I have been wanting to do comedy since I was about 20.
But I was like, oh, I don't have time to do it since I'm in college and stuff.
And so I'll just wait until I'm done with college.
And then I think, you know, I'm thinking back at it now, I probably should have done it while I was in college.
But I think I was putting it off because I was scared.
I think you're kind of better off living a bit more before you start comedy.
Yeah.
It's good to actually have something to say, whereas, like, I started really young, so I was just like, eh.
Oh, you started, oh, when you were 20.
No, and I started, like, no, it was 18, I think.
Oh, really?
Yeah, maybe 17.
I forget now, I was, you know.
And you're 24 now?
Maybe 18, yeah.
Oh.
Yeah.
Well, again, like, first time I did it, like, yeah.
Like, I had no life experience at all, so just like, hey.
Well, none that I could talk about on stage.
Yeah.
It was like, just like, hey, fucking Facebook's crazy.
Yeah.
anybody here about fingering?
Like, is it like, I had no real experience myself, like, so it's just like, it's just
sound like a little bit.
Plus, people don't want to see a young lad on stage.
They want an older person with authority or like someone who's smart, like yourself.
I don't, you guys keep saying I'm smart.
I really don't feel that smart.
I, um, what was it?
I got stuck in my friend's room the other day because it was a, it was a push door and
I thought it was a pole and I just thought it was locked.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
And I had to call her.
I legitimately, if I see, like, if I'm going to a supermarket and there's like door push on it
and I do push, I'm happy for a half hour after that.
I'm like, fucking yeah.
Got it in the first try.
Look at that.
Fucking.
Yeah.
You know, some people, you know, they're doing like tours in Australia and they're making loads of money.
And they're happy with that.
But I'm just like, I can open a door.
It's all about the little things, Brian.
Yeah, you've got to take the victories when they come.
When Brian opens a door.
God closes that exact same door.
proud of you
I'm glad someone said it
James won't say that
I'm very
Oh I just remember it's Mother's Day
Oh shit
Holy fuck do you get anything
Oh God
Hey Betsy I heard
You didn't get anything
For Mother's Day
Because you're too busy
Fucking my mom
Boom
Oh
Roasted
I said
Yeah your mom told me
She's not proud of you
That's why I thought
You should hear from someone
Yeah
And then you fucked her
Boom
I don't want to sound
How roasting works
That's why I lost
The Brian Gala
Oh, yes.
It's Mother's Day, I totally forgot.
Have you?
Terrible, terrible child.
Actually, you know, this is kind of sad.
My mother actually left a card on my pillow on Saturday night.
Just like a Mother's Day card for me to write to give to her.
Oh, wow.
That's the level.
Did you write?
You know what?
I just tore it up for the coaches to smoke to me.
Take that, Mom.
Yeah, isn't what you get for raising me.
No, I actually wrote it.
It's kind of bad, because I just wrote, like, from Brian, and I looked the envelope,
and I was like, probably should have wrote more than that.
You were very from Brown, and that's it.
Yeah, it was like, oh, then I tried to open it, but then I kind of ripped the envelope of it,
and I was like, oh, so then I just hand her the card with, like, a half-open envelope.
Even that is a lie, though, because it wasn't from you, it was from her.
Yeah.
So you're lying to her.
It's disingenuous.
Yeah, I was thinking she should put a fiber in or what.
Probably should have bought her flowers or something.
Flowers, chocolate, scratch cards.
We love scratch cards here in Ireland.
Do you scratch cards big in America?
I'd say so, yeah.
Yeah, it's big for like, you know.
For occasions, you know, Mother's Day, birthdays, even funerals, like, here you go.
I know your mother's dead, but two quids, possibly.
No, it's funny because, like, I have some good luck coming after that bad luck.
It's kind of like, a lot of times, though, it's like here, here's a present and it's like a card of disappointment.
Because it's like, and they always work it over like, hey, a five, a five, a five, no, 15.
You got nothing.
Five, five.
Oh, just call it.
me a con.
You should have that joke cards.
Why did I pay money for this?
He's scratched it.
He says James the wanker.
I'm why is it my name?
How is it knows?
So specific.
There's a picture of me.
Yeah.
Picture you your worst.
It knows like your ex-girlfriend's name.
Oh my God.
She was faking it.
It just says that the whole time.
Yeah, so scratch cards.
How did we get on to that?
Oh, it's Mother's Day.
Yeah.
Have you sent her a little message?
well it's not Mother's Day in America
yeah it's different Mother's Days so if I were to send her
a Mother's Day message now she'd probably be like
you're being real selfish about it
because it's not until May
oh yeah yeah she'd say you're selfish she wouldn't
in any way appreciate it yeah I'm just good
yeah if you took the time out of your day
to write a free message to her just going like
Happy Mother's Day from Ireland she'd be like
ugh my mom's sassy like that
Is she sassy? I wish my mom was sassy
What are you a fucking Mick all of a sudden
Get out of here
I wish my mom was sassy and my mom just cries
and force feeds her guests fish
did that happen to you
yeah james's over and my mother
what I was really hung over is like
here's a plate of fish I'm like
I don't want this
yeah
I'm passive aggressive apparently she like
afterwards like oh James
the boy who doesn't eat fish
I like how he says the boy
well oh she called me the man
the man you're the man
nobody's ever called me a man
the man who won't eat the salmon
It's like a fairy tale in a way
Asap's fables
Yeah
You're nearly 30 so you're like
Definitely a man
Oh god
Yeah but like I'm an adult
In James's headline water
Like look at a scamp
That little scally way
Oh eat the salmon
Yeah yeah
What are your plans for future
My plans oh like for life
Yeah
Oh dude you're not
You got a boyfriend do you
I do yeah
Things are going well
Things are going well
He moved in with me
Well I've got a bet
The same way you got to bet
The Beber relationship
fall apart, I gotta bet with James
that one. I gotta bet with James that one. Yeah, they're yours
a fall apart. Really?
And he's going to get with
Baldwin, Ireland, Baldwin. He's going to get with
Healy Baldwin. That's just me being mean because I don't have
boyfriends. Oh, do you want to share mine? He might
be okay. Do I?
Yeah.
The name is Paul. He looks kind of like Paul Rudd.
Oh, that's pretty good actually. Yeah, yeah.
You know Paul Rudd's like fucking like
50, like. I know he, no, he turns 50
a week in, uh, in five days.
No, six days on April 6th.
That's creepy.
I know, I'm a huge...
Are you, like, similar from Mark David Chapman?
He's just going to be reading Catcher in the Rye and then shoot him in a hotel.
Actually, by the way, you know the Beatles, do you?
Yes.
Okay, cool.
All right, yeah.
I understand why you'd ask me that.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, I didn't know.
So Mark David Chapman shot John Lenn, okay?
Okay.
So I just thought he to some crazy guy who shot him because he was obsessed with John Lenn.
But I was listening to him a podcast about it.
I didn't know he was, like, proper insane.
Like, he talked with little people.
in the walls, stuff like that, telling him what to do.
And he taught that, like, because he was obsessed
for his book catching a ride.
And he taught that when he shot John Lennon,
he would actually go into the book.
Really? That's why he shot him.
Yeah, he thought he would actually go into the fiction
itself. And what did John Lennon
have to do with that fiction? Well, he was just
obsessed with it. Well, he taught John Lennon
was a phony. Yeah. Because John Lennon
was all, like, hippie-dippy, you know, peace and love.
Yeah, yeah. It's my John Lennon.
Peace and love. But then he lived in the big house with an Asian woman.
and he was like, that's...
Hippercritical.
I was living with an Asian one.
Hypocritical.
Oh, but he's...
Oh, no, I'm not saying I was against it.
I'm just saying he was like, ah, don't like that.
So then he like...
He shot him.
He popped him and apparently he shot him and then John Lennon fell down and then Mark
Dave Chavis was like, oh, what's going on?
Oh, no!
Oh, this hasn't gone the way.
I am not got...
I've not been transported.
I'm still here.
Fuck.
Oh, shit.
I hate when that happens.
Yeah, yeah.
I love to see a lifetime movie of the way.
that? There is. There is actually
Jared Leto played Mark David Chapman. Leto.
Leto? Is it? Lito? I hear people say
Lido. I'll ask him. Leto.
Okay, yeah, ask him, please. We'll get back
to you on that. But yeah, he played Mark David Chapman, and he gained a lot of
weight for the role, and he actually gave himself type two
diabetes. That's dedication. Awesome.
Awesome. I'm working on that at the moment.
Awesome. Yeah. So what do you talk about
in your comedy? Oh, I talk about
dark stuff
I actually want James you inspire me
I want to try to get on your level oh
thank you that's very kind
I love the stuff about your dad killing himself
I know it's hilarious isn't it
yeah it's funny
it's never not funny
every guest we've had on
yeah I've like I just want to say
I loved it loved it
loved it
do you have any pictures
yeah in fact I hope you got a new dad
so do I
father please
yeah thank you very much fatsy that's very nice of you to say
it is kind of like they all say you
don't mention my farming stuff
I suppose it's not that punch
not everyone lives on a farm but everyone has a father
I suppose yeah are you actually bisexual I don't know
I don't know either
because you make jokes about it hey let's find out
is that you mean it is called Brian and James
Fuck you charge.
Yes.
Well, if you want to find out, I'm bisexual, and I'll just say to listeners, I live in 21 Glenwood, Dundalk.
Come on, bye.
Yeah.
Find out for yourself.
I know Matthew and his brother are only ones who listen, so.
Actually, very interestingly, yesterday, all of my siblings, my two brothers and my sister, I have another brother.
But three of them then, they were all like saying how much they listen to every episode and they really love it and stuff.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they were very complimentary.
It's good to have, and that's the reason you're on if you just said something nice about us.
And that's really all the takes
It's got on the show
So tell James's
siblings that they can fuck off
Because he's the better one
Yeah, that's right
Yes
You're not bisexual
No, no, not really
I have
Good for some
I have kissed men
But only when I'm like
Under the influence of Class A drugs
I think you know
Like my friend Poring
Talks about a lot
About he doesn't know what he is
I don't think you need
To put labels on things you know
Yeah
I think I might just like
You know
I was thinking about it
I might be straight for the summer
and then go gay for the winter
and find myself a nice little twink to get into
like a cocoon
like you know like in Star Wars
they cut open the animal
and go inside it
that's going to be me
I just get inside the twink
and just hide my late
nice
there's this all
there's a species of bird
I forgot what it's called
but they're the ones that
it's like the male bird builds
a really huge complicated nest
and he gets like little trinkets
and stuff to decorate it with
and the female comes by
checks it out
and if you know she doesn't like it
then she just bucked off
and he has to build another one and it takes like a week and I guess sometimes the the young male birds in this species look like female birds and so sometimes they'll go to these real intricate houses pretend to be a female and then like the adult male is like wooing them and then the young male will just like steal this shit and then fly away and build his own nest with the stuff he stole oh that's a pretty good grift there yeah a grift hey it's a good scam hey buddy I got a scam for you again
Just pretend to be like a sexy little bird
The only of a man, a full-grown man
Trying to pretend to be a bird
To steal someone's neck
Imagine if humans did that
Well, I suppose they kind of do in a way
Sometimes just like a young twinkle steal like something
Not from me, I don't know myself
But like, uh, I like the animal kingdom
It's just, it's more like just
It's more honest, you know
I like those guys who are like real obsessed with the animal kingdom
They think that humans should be like that
They're like, hey, man, it's the natural world.
Yeah, yeah.
Hey, I'm an alpha.
That's just how I be.
I should be allowed to steal birds' nests.
I was making myself laugh on the way up here.
I was thinking like a jock who's blemick.
Okay.
And he's like bragging like, you bleemick, bro?
You got the bleemes, bra?
Yeah, man.
Man, it is awesome, man.
Yeah, man, you just go into the back.
You drink some protein and you go into the bat, okay?
And you like, your finger, your mouth, like your finger banging some bra.
Yeah, man.
it's awesome. Then you get our skinning
and you can see your ribs, chicks, ding,
ribs. That's what I do when I'm driving up
to James, I just talk to myself. I do that
a lot too when I'm driving. How do you
come up with ideas? So me and James, I think we both
do silly voices. Mine's
schizophrenia, just talk out loud or something.
Give advice to the young comedians
out there. How do you come up at material?
I actually, I cycle to work
and I talk to myself
while I cycle, and I always think that
people can't hear me because I'm going
so fast, they can't hear, but I think they do.
because I've seen a few people look at me strangely
as I'm just like talking on my bike
to myself driving real past
just like drive pie
and you hear me just be like
my dad left me and then
it's a good thing you live in the city
if you live in the country
you would have been institution wise by now
no in the contrary
they kind of just let people
room free
all the mentalists
we had a lad
I don't know what his story was
but there was a lad lives behind her school
for a little bit
and it was just kind of like
you have this in America
every now and again
there's someone who's mentally ill
and just kind of like
you just like
shoot him away with a brush
Yeah so he like
he was living behind your school
with his shed
and like sometimes in the morning
like you find like
some cigarette butts
or some underwear
and like you know
Jesus
I was just the teachers
like more he was more like
they treat him like he was a fox
or something like that
yeah
get out he's at the bins
get out of you
like and then
I think all the parents
bit like Freddy Kruger
all the parents just kind of like
dealt with him
but all the parents
banded together
and then burned him
in a furnace
That's really accepting.
That's really sweet.
I like that.
It's kind of fun.
The Freddie Kruger story is actually kind of nice.
All the parents teamed up as a community.
Yeah.
And burnt him alive,
regardless if it was guilty or not.
Yeah.
Octopitos,
but yeah,
I'm pretty sure Freddie Krueger was a fetus.
He was a bad man.
He's a paedophile.
And then later on,
they changed it to a child killer
because that's more acceptable.
Okay.
There is a crazy website in America
called Family Watchdog
where it lists all the pedophiles,
work and home addresses.
Jesus.
It's kind of like,
it's kind of like,
Tinder.
Yeah.
For a 10 year old boy.
Tinder.
Yeah.
So you can meet people with similar interests.
Hey, do you like Nirvana?
Wink.
Oh, never mind.
Oh, Jesus.
Wow.
Do you go on that?
Is there like many?
Well, what part you live in the suburbs?
Is there many in your area?
You know what?
There's a surprising, I guess not that's surprising.
But yeah, there's a ton who live near the park in my neighborhood.
There's like five.
Well, I'd say now.
mention that in parks and recreation
the notorious pedophile
problem
but I'd say
some of them aren't actually
like proper pedos
some of them I'd probably like
just got a little bit caught up
just a little bit of porn
let's not start defending them here Brian
no I mean like some of them are just like probably like
you know just could happen to us some stage
you know like you end up accidentally
exposing yourself
Oh like if you're drunk and you take a piss in a playground
but you don't know it's a playground
Yeah that could easily happen
yeah oh just i'm just uh well look if anything happens your auntie will have to hang them yeah
so back to i'm just actually curious because you have actually people when talking about you and your material
they say uh it is quite dark oh thanks like so do you is that like a conscious decision or is it just
sort of like naturally the jokes you come up with just happen to be quite dark it's just naturally
because i i say stuff and i don't think it's that dark yeah like oh that's
really dark and I'm like well I think it's funny
yeah exactly the exact same thing
yeah and it's like we're not trying to be
dark it just happens to be dark yeah
exactly that's kind of like who are your
big comedy influences would you say
I love Daniel Tosh
when he's making fun of Hurricane Katrina
and shit I love that
that's oh he's a genius
Tosh is good
Tosh is surprising like I saw
was it Tots and Prayers? No no that's
anti-Jessonleck what's the people pleaseer
is that the one he has I think
well the last special he did and I was like
He's really, like, he's physical and he's good-looking.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
He's good-looking, like, he's good.
He looks like an unattractive swimmer to me.
An unattractive swimmer?
I don't know. That's just the impression, I get.
That kind of body.
Yeah.
He's got the face of a swimmer, was it?
You got a face looks like there's all war on it.
We're exposed to chlorine a lot of the time.
Well, I heard Tosh used to be a real, like, you know,
he literally would wear the hoodie on stage and, like, kind of almost look down on his feet.
And, like, every now and again, if they're laughing, he'd look.
look up, like, he used to be real nervous.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
That's so surprising, because I remember when he went on stage for one of his sets, he was like,
yeah, I'm really good.
I deserve that, because I'm one of the best.
Well, that's a confidence.
Like, I know comics, we have to be like, oh, I'm shit.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, it's good to have a bit of confidence.
Like, John Spelan told me that, like, you know,
he should be, like, happy and, like, yeah, I am, I kind of know what I'm doing.
Yeah, I am good.
There's nothing wrong with that.
No, not at all.
No, definitely not.
Plus, I think, you know, we have, once you get up there,
And especially if your jokes aren't that good
To be like really self-deprecating
The audience will automatically dislike you
Just be like who's this fucking dip shit
Who's wasting our time
And they're all comics start off being self-deprecating
And it is a bit tiring
Like I've seen some of comics where it's like
After 10 minutes
It's like, Jesus
Get this guy some help
Yeah
Especially when they're really good looking
As well like Jesse James
If Jesse James went up and said
Oh I'm terrible
Like no you're not
You're amazing
I love you
Almost immediately
has literally brats me throwing his face
and he's like, I just can't get a girlfriend.
I think my boyfriend
has a bit of a man crush on Jesse James.
Who doesn't?
Meow.
Wow.
So Jesse, you and Paul.
Yeah, I think it's going,
is it Paul, is it?
Yeah.
Well, it looks like Paul Rudney's called Paul.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Did you make him change his name to Paul?
So, why can't you star in the 40-year-old version?
You son of a bitch.
Hey, you've never been the Judapitao movie.
Oh wow
So it's Paul, yeah
It's going to be me, Paul and Jesse
And you're out of here
You know, it's actually fine
I was telling Paul
Right before I come over here
And I was wondering if you guys
Could answer this question
I heard a story about these three guys
And they're all in a polyamorous
Relationship with each other
And they only have sex
When all three of each other
Are in the room
And I just wonder
How does that work?
Do they just like get in a triangle
And then like one jacks off the other
And then
Brian?
What did you feel this one?
you're overthinking this.
You're thinking physically, like, you know,
the signs of it.
Where I say, it's three lads, is it?
Yes, yes.
Well, then they just do what they want to do, okay?
So it's not like, you're thinking of it like,
it's a game of chess almost or they're standing there.
It more so be a game of Tetris where you go, like, fit the,
yeah, that's how gay sex works.
If you put it in, then they disappear.
Because they've matched.
I just want to make sure no one feels left out, I think.
Well, it's, again, I think.
The guy in the middle.
is getting all the fun.
Yeah, a bit like human centipies.
He's getting both senses.
But, like, I think, uh, the polyamorous relationships will become more and more popular
as it goes along.
I think, like, most of the girls I see, like, they're very big into, like, um, not
being, uh, exclusive, regardless of why I think, like, regardless of what I think, like,
a lot of them, like, um, are very kind of, like, they don't want relationships, modern women,
like, they just kind of want, uh, you know, just like, just kind of want me to leave directly after.
in fact when I see them in the gym
they don't make eye contact with me
well that's the modern woman
they don't make eye contact
personally I don't think I'm secure enough
to like be in a polyamorous relationship
there's a lot of trust like I'd be far too jealous
like oh you prefer them to me
I've never been in a proper like
we're three people we are what like
like um like in Power Rangers
are all link up like I've never
been in that kind of thing we've had that kind of talk
it's always just been like
well we're not you never said you're exclusive
okay well you never said that either yeah yeah yeah it will become more popular yeah oh god i think that be
great yeah and it's oh no i do think it's like again like it's the level of trust you have yeah yeah
yeah well i think it's good for like a couple to try it for a while yeah because i know couples who
they've gone it like so like like like for two months they were like um yeah yeah they were like
you know they're like hey you can bring people in i actually tried to get in once uh well yeah like
there is this guy i know he was going out with the girl and they were in an open
in a relationship and he was all like pretty cool huh and like his girlfriend was just like
getting with lads like left friend and he was just like anybody want to fuck me anybody anybody
anyone want to fuck me come on anybody so it wasn't really i don't see the benefit yeah it has to be like
just like have your girlfriend it's very easy to get jealous i think it has to be like i think it only
really work if they're both like confident in themselves if one is insecure and like the girlfriend's
literally getting railed by nine lads and he's like uh he's just staring at the side of
lines with a like foam finger
he's just twiddling his
tongues like yeah yeah yeah you go girl
so empowering
oh you can't hear me you got a dick in your ear
uh never mind um no I don't think I could
like again I'm not against it
I don't judge anyone for it I'm just not secure enough
for that kind of thing yet yet maybe one day
I just like the word polyamorous
polyamorous it sounds like a I don't know like a butterfly
name I can say a Pokemon go polyamist go
I went on a date with a guy once several years ago
who was in a polyamorous relationship
so he had a girlfriend and it was cool
and I had no problem going on dates with him
but I realized I couldn't continue it
because he had the same name as my brother
and it just got in my head it was just too weird
that is weird yeah you can't say it you know
like it'll just slip out sometimes
like yeah and then like
I had the same thing I was going over with a girl
had the same name as my brother
and I was like whoa get out of it!
yeah yeah you can't say that anymore no i know yeah i'll at least set you right that's right yes
i've learned the error up my way now you're like pro transgender i was always pro transgender
now you like to turn matrix movie never never so you were dating for a while got any good dating
stories yes okay let me think well i feel like me and james to talk too much i want to like you talk more oh
okay let me think good dating well define a good dating story like well obviously one we're like you're not
happy the end. If you say like, I met him, he was pretty cool, and that was it.
It's like, yeah, yeah. Oh, okay. I know. I was on this one recently. I was going out with this guy
when I was like, I was 19 and he was 27, which was a bit weird. Yeah. You go, girl. No, no. He was
really nice at first and it's funny. I actually, I used to be super religious, you guys. Oh,
right. I'm not religious at all. Um, like, fuck that nice. Um, Presbyterian? Just like general
Christian. Oh, Protestant.
non-denominational, which is a self-denomination.
And so I didn't sleep with him.
And I think he got a little fussy at the four-week mark, and then he got really mean.
And the thing is, I decided to break up with him.
The breaking point for me was when he said he thinks that having pets are useless.
He's like, I don't understand people who have pets.
Why waste money on an animal when you can, like, invest that time and money in skills?
And then I broke up with him five minutes later.
Okay.
What a weird thing to think.
it's not competing like why have a dog it could learn how to do carpentry oh but then and then he
because he was kind of a dick towards end of our relationship and then he mailed me a card several
weeks later apologizing for being an asshole but it was I was with him when he bought that card
like we were dating each other and it was a really really fancy like a $15 card and I remember
he made a detour to go to this card shop just to buy this one card and I was like why are you buying this
card and he was like real cryptic about it and then i received it in the mail
several weeks later that is so weird that's uh yeah this guy's 27 that sounds so immature
like that's like something you really that's not something you should do but it's something
you would do like as 18 or something like that yeah yeah where you don't know how to like
end relationships or like oh that's awful yeah it's kind of funny that's a good story now and i
didn't sleep with him so yeah well let me ask you this then it's not too personal oh no go
what caused the kind of like straying away from the true fate oh yeah oh yeah oh why not because you know
when you're younger they're all like oh god is love and all that stuff sure and then you get older and
they're like okay god is love kind of but like these are the people you should really not like
and uh they tried telling me how i should be as a woman they're like betsy as a woman as a godly
woman you need to be submissive to your husband i'm like fuck that shit yeah you start firing a gun
Yeah, they're real big into like, well, not to get too, ah, no, I'm going to do it.
Like, this is going to be mean as a man talking about how hard it is to be a woman.
That's why it's so mansplaining.
But like back then, it was really like they didn't teach women about anything about themselves, like.
Like, so I think that was because for a man, it was like, if you don't teach a woman about orgasms, she won't be expecting one.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Yeah, it was proper just like, um, she, she showed.
I shouldn't know, like, the correct length of a penis.
Not the correct length, but, like, the average, it shouldn't know anything.
So, like, like, the man then, and it was always, like, fucking, like, some 50-year-old fucking in-the-closet gay guy, like, gentlemen would just marry, like, a fucking...
Back then, it was, like, a 16-year-old girl.
Yeah.
And then he'd have, like, sex there for, like, three menace and I'm like, well, that was sex.
And you should enjoy it.
Now you're going to have loads of children, and you should shut the fuck up.
And now it's different.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And that's good.
like. Wait, so you, you know, you were very religious and your brother was very religious. Like, so,
well, you said your parents didn't really push it on you that much. Oh, wait, so that happened
because my mom sent us to this church camp, which was like really cheap. She only sent us there
because it was like a really discount cheap price. She's like, I just want to get rid of you for the
summer. And then while we're there, they converted us. Oh, wow. That's very cultish.
Sneaky. They're always talking about church and church camp. Yeah. Sneaky. Was there a moment of
It's like, wham, I'm over here.
Epiphany.
Yeah, let's see what was.
Oh, actually, I don't care if this is TMI.
I was on the birth control pill from the age of like 14 for health reasons.
And it kills your sex drive.
And so I actually thought I was asexual for a long time.
And then I went off of it when I was 19 because I was in Korea and I couldn't get it.
And then I was just like, oh, my God, I want to have sex.
And these bitches are telling me I can't, but fuck that.
And so I went and fucked that over there.
Wait, what's that?
Just a guy.
Okay, or you pointed a laptop.
You did what?
This is James' laptop.
Oh, that explains all the issues I've been having.
That's cool, so you fucked yourself into an atheist.
Yes, I did.
It's pretty a rock.
You fucked some Korean guy and burnt a Bible.
Exactly.
It was a very spiritual moment for me.
That's cool.
Yeah, it's like so much cooler.
Like, I was just like for a long time believed in God and then, you know, like watch their
Richard Dawkins' documenters like
oh I guess there's no God
okay fine
then you fuck the Korean
I think like having sex
with a Korean man really just
puts your head in the right way
you know
I don't even remember like
not believing in God
I think it's just a general kind of sense
of like oh just over time
just like eh not I don't believe this anymore
I was but I was raised like in a very
Catholic house quite oppressive
like I was an altar boy
unlike the primary school I went to was like very
heavily connected to the church
you're on the pill
I was on the pill
not for medical reasons
just for that sweet sweet high
oh yeah
god good times
you do have sex education
in your school
oh yeah you guys ever see
watch over John Oliver
yeah I know but he
did that episode on sex ed in America
oh yeah I seen that clip
actually that bowling thing isn't that the clip
yeah how's that metaphor work
they showed that to me
really like where the
oh no no not the ball it was like the girl with these shoes
explained to the audience yeah I don't see it
this girl she she's like talking about
she has a pair of tennis shoes and she's giving it to her boyfriend
to borrow and he was like what I don't want to put my feet
in these dirty smelly shoes it looks like the whole football team
wore these shoes and then she turns to the camera and she was like
I wish that someone had warned me about having multiple
partners when I was younger and the damages it can have on you
And they showed that shit to me when I was like...
They equated your genitals to a pair of tennis shoes.
That's like saying like, yo, um, your vagina's a dirty shoe.
The whole football team's been in it.
Wow, don't have sex.
Where's some odor eaters when you need it?
Sorry, that's gross.
I mean, that's kind of hot.
Yeah, I wouldn't mind them putting their feet in my shoe.
Oh my God.
If that's like how you think sex works.
You see a nice man and you hand him your shoe.
Actually, our sex education.
wasn't that bad. We had a woman came in
that was real stern looking and she was
proper like, I'm going to teach you about sex
and I remember like they took the girls away
so it's like we're a bit scared like what's happening to
us? And she was like real just like
no like actual like thing that we could
use in real life just like you put
the penis in the vagina and ejaculate
and that causes eggs to go in
sperm to go into the eggs and that was it
like there's no like any kind of practical like
how to use a condom or like
anything like that. We weren't shown anything
with a condo. Oh they actually they had
We had a lot of pregnant girls in my school, and they would actually bring them in.
Yeah.
De-d-d-d-d-de-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-.
Jason!
So they would bring these pregnant girls to our health class.
They'd just talk about how difficult it was being a teen mom.
Oh, it's a, like, shame in that.
Look at her.
Look at her shoes.
Children, now you'll all line up and spit on her once.
Oh, my God.
It's so disgusting.
That's horrible.
And what, like,
they have a pregnant girl come in,
a bit like a crack addict will come in and tell people not to be a crap.
He's scared straight, pro crap.
No, I actually remember one of the girls who came in,
I'm not going to say her name,
in case she's coldness.
Her name's Albert.
No.
I call her Sarah.
Sarah was my neighbor,
and I remember I walked by her on the street one day,
just like, hey, Sarah, what's up?
And she's like, oh, I just had sex with my boyfriend for the first time
and lost my virginity, just, you know,
casual conversation and then I was like oh good for you and she said yeah I think I might be
pregnant and I was like I don't think that's how it doesn't work that fast yeah but she actually
was because then she came to my health class oh five months later and so I was pregnant on your very
first time that is that's unfortunate it's like stepping on landmine your first day of war war yeah
oh war it's a war it actually is you know technically there is war count did you train for war but
Anyway, we're not kidding.
A bit of church camp, like guns.
Now, a gun is like a dirty shoe.
Don't let the football team.
Don't let Charlie play with your ammunition.
Or you'll get pregnant.
Well, I think we're going to wrap up soon because it's been an hour and I need to go to the bathroom.
But is there anything you'd like to say before we go?
I'm around Dublin, doing gigs and stuff, yeah.
Check Betsy out in multiple stand-up comedy clubs.

Yeah, they've already, they're already talking about doing, like, spin-offs and stuff.
Or like a prequel showing Ned stuff.

I was thinking
they should do
like regional
Game of Thrones

like
so like do like
one for each country
so there's an Irish
Game of Thrones
which is like
actually
it would be less incest
but then like

this is Game of Trons
this is Game of Thrones
yeah
we cannot
we cannot afford
the dragon
