We are recording.
All right, perfect.
So it's a free episode today, guys, and we have a special guest.
So it's James Caden and also...
Mark Maloney.
Yeah, it was a great start right there.
Very professional.
Yeah, I was saying to start, maybe we might have to cut out to start
because it might be all kind of stupid and awkward.
You were kind of like, Mark, don't worry, if you fuck up the intro,
which you most likely will, you're worth this piece of shit.
Yes.
That's exactly what he said.
And you took the chair as well, which I kind of wanted the chair.
I said...
Did you notice a little mind game we tried to do in you there?
said, do you want the shitty chair
or the big awesome bed?
He thought he had really, like, you know,
that was his, like, Anthony Hopkins
in silence of the lambs moment is that?
But what I should have done is...
I threw jizz on your face as you walked in.
No, what I should have done is
gone the extra layer, so you're a very nice person.
Should be like, do you want the uncomfortable
of the bed or the lovely chair? And you
would be, you're so nice. You've got to play,
you got to use your strengths as your weaknesses.
You know? You said that you were normally around
the bed. And I wanted to preserve the regular magic.
yeah well look it's good start anyway uh tall guy actually i'm a live man yeah yeah how tall are you
about six three six three that's a good height i don't really carry myself like it though i kind of
have a short man's energy i i've small dick energy so we've all got something and what you
you're a big man as well i'm very much the odd man out here people think i'm taller than i am
because they're looking at me sideways people think i'm like over six foot i'm not i'm like
511 and change I've been told
You know what you have small man energy
James very much is like big dog energy
You walk into a room people are scared
Only only to you
Everyone else sees me as a weak
Impetitent pathetic little worm
But then I come in
And Brian's like
Oh look at that big man
Yeah that's right
No when I was a, it gave me like a curved spine
So I have a pretty bad back
And when I was a child
I went to the doctor
And my GP used to be Leah Varadker's dad
Really? Mr. Varan
used to be his dad
retired from being his dad
He's retired from making a doctor
and I guess
You're a idiot
Sorry
That was fun
It could have gone way worse
I guess
Oh I could have
Yeah we got through it
Oh boy
Yeah
Gentle
Yeah he would
He would just like
Say it's because you're too fat
You'd say
It's because you're too fat
And then he would hand me a Milky Way
as I was leaving
He would like feed me chocolate
At the doctor
Oh he was nagging you
Yeah
He was wrissing you
He was like, yeah, you can either lose weight or we can have the surgery where we could open your spine and break your back.
And I was like, oh, I guess I'll just do neither.
It's not a real surgery, is it? Was he fucking, was he risen here?
No, yeah, he was like, yeah, he was like, yeah, he was like, yeah, he was like, yeah, he was like, yeah, he was like, yeah, I've got, yeah, that's like, cut up in your back and, I've got, yeah, I've got on, yeah, I've gotten up in the face.
No, don't look him in the eye, it's a sign of weakness. Yeah, yeah, yeah, look like a big man.
And what's the crack of you?
What do you do?
Yeah, I was realizing that this could be kind of strange
because we don't really know each other very well.
Yeah, we actually talk.
We actually don't know anything about you at all.
No. I met Jason Brennan and Kevin Larnie at a show one time
and they referenced that like I get a lot of mentions on the podcast.
You know what?
It's totally through being a Patreon man.
You know what?
I think your name has a nice ring to it.
Mark Maloney, you know, it hits the air just right.
I like it.
My old Mark Maloney, full of baloney.
Yeah, yeah.
So what's the correct of you then?
What, you work?
I work, yeah.
You don't have to reveal too much, though.
You don't reveal like, you know,
where your mother lives or anything.
The Mac Maloney lore?
Yeah, the lore, yeah.
So I was, I think people think I'm quite new to the scene a lot of the time.
Yes.
But I was actually here, like, years ago.
Really?
I started doing stand-up in 2015, 17, 70 years ago.
In the good old days.
Yeah, yeah.
It was back when you really go, what?
It's like Hollywood in the 80s, you know, you really go wild in every sense.
Yeah, well, yeah.
Like, it was like, I'm like friends at Davey Riley on Facebook.
You know what I mean?
Oh, that sort of.
Oh, I'm a friend of the show.
I'm working.
You probably wouldn't describe yourself that way, but.
I'm working my way up to it.
But, uh, then when I came, so I, I, yeah, I was in college in Dublin, and then I did stuff around the scene then.
And then I moved to Scotland.
I did a, I did a PhD in Scotland.
So you've got a PhD?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And what, in what field?
Chemistry.
I remember you told me that, actually.
You told me all this stuff and I've forgotten it over the years.
It's coming back to me now.
Yeah, it's not super.
And you're working in Cork.
No, working Cork, yeah.
Nice.
It's okay.
I came back because I didn't want to be in a long-distance relationship anymore.
And then I was promptly dumped.
Where was she?
She was in Dublin, the whole time.
Oh, that's not too late.
You know what?
The older I get, the lazier I get, where I was trying to see a girl there.
She lived in like Black Rock.
Yeah.
I was like, ah, this is fucking show you.
I can't do this now.
It's a bit awkward.
Also, she cheated on me, but it was mostly because of the location.
It was mostly cut up at that.
black rock and black yeah
come on now
don't debate yourself like that
but yeah so
thank you for being here
it's nice to have
another person to
you know so the hatred
and the resentment we have to like
hide it a bit better you know
yeah well also sometimes
think when people come in they're kind of amazed by like
the tension in the room
yeah yeah we don't look
we don't make eye contact you know we're all looking
fucking I thought you were I thought you were
I think a lot of people think we're, like, good friends or whatever.
Yeah.
Oh, boy, that ain't the truth.
No speaking until the microphones are turned on.
It was very dense.
Pretty much.
Now, I know you can't talk too much about it,
but I do know you were involved in the court case recently.
We won't get too involved.
Some busy bodies sticking their big in where it's not wanted.
Some woman, you said something.
But anyway, look, I know.
I'm joking.
I will say, I did watch a movie.
This is not related.
Pure Quinstance called Runaway Jury.
Which is about a juror member
who gets into a spot of bother.
Yeah.
So we can talk about that.
Yeah, that's me.
Yeah, we can also talk about a movie called Fall.
Oh, I haven't.
You haven't watched that?
No, I have, though.
No one has.
And we also watch Godfather too,
but I think that's a bit too,
no one wants to talk with that, like,
but I don't want to monopolize...
It's very powerful position
he puts himself in, isn't it?
That, like, he's like,
I'm going to bring three tops of conversation
where no one else knows anything about them.
Yeah.
But I don't want to monopolize the conversation
So we can talk about anything you want to talk about
You know, but
We'll kind of start talking
And then we can swing into like more kind of your territory
Well, I'll say this
You're just you're fresh off a big competition win
Yeah
Show me the funny winner 2023

Weird shit

Weird and goth
It's like
Bitch you're a multi-millionaire
What are you sad about
We're clothes to fit
Make them tight
Yeah
Dressing like a
B-boy in the 80s. What are you doing?
But I'm very happy for you. It's good to
because you're like a BJ boy. You're a fan of the show.
I'm a fan of the show, yeah, yeah. You're a follower.
We're called B.J. Boys, yeah. Nobody else. We just call you that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Brian and James Fuckers, yeah.
No woman has ever been a fan of the show. So I guess we'll cross
that bridge when we come to it. There's one woman who's a fan, but she's
a ward now.
B.J. person? A B.J. person, maybe?
Yeah, okay. It's like, you know what he used to call a woman, dude.
It's a very non-gendered term.
I mean, we call him dude and bro
And what is the breakdown
What's the demo breakdown?
What?
It's mostly white
Yeah
White angry men
Yeah
I didn't even
Consider it being anything other than white
Yeah
It's 90%
We have a girl from like Arizona
No way
Oh yeah
Yeah yeah
Okay
She's pretty cool now
She's got a lot of opinions
See Brian Brian is kind of
He's the one that gets to talk to the fans
I'm not allowed to do that
He would upset you
Yeah you're right
They tell me things
I'm like
I'll just
We can't
We do
Yeah there's some people
I feel bad
Some people like
Will like message a lot
And I won't respond
And they'll be like
You know
Oh I love the fact
You don't respond
Yeah
Yeah
That's good
I love the
That's palpable contempt
You have for
We have a very small
But dedicated fan base
Yeah
A very small
But dedicated
And we treat them like shit
Like the things
We do
The Paul and Marsh
It's disgusting
Yeah man
Yeah
throw egg on his face.
Yeah, Paul Marr,
he's been a long time supporter as well.
It's nice, you know.
A few firemen.
Like, he got a few firemen involved in the show.
That's right.
Yeah, Jesus Christ.
These are the people
we're trusting to put out fires
and orphanages.
Yeah.
They're just like spraying fire with a hose.
Ha, ha, ha, Cadden's doing this black voice again.
Alarious.
So, Mark, so you left comedy.
I didn't leave,
you went by the wayside, you know?
You weren't doing in Scotland, were you?
I was doing it in, like,
I was in a small university town
so it was like
Not a lot of to do beyond just the term time
stuff
So I do it like once every couple of weeks
Well here's saying though
You have a real confidence on stage
And you have a lack of fear
Which I'm giving you a compliment
Alright
Yeah no that's good
So if I had your act
I'd be terrified
I'd be really embarrassed
If I did the things you did
No I'm just saying like I still have
Oh you're great
You're great
If I'm trying a new bit
Or something like that
I think I still very much
Reveal the fear on stage
You know, a little bit like, um, uh, yeah, ha ha, like that.
Huh, it worked.
Like that.
Or, you know, well, like, for you, I feel like you, you, you hide that better.
If you do have any fear at all, you do like it.
I think, um, uh, I very much so do like a, uh, it's like a bit of a persona,
a bit of a character on stage, I suppose.
And I think I always find that that makes it a lot easier to be willing to fail.
Because then, like, uh, if someone doesn't like it, it doesn't feel like they don't like me.
Yeah.
Or they don't like my opinions because I don't give any of my opinions and I don't like do
anything that's really that personal to me.
Sometimes, I don't know, as I said, I got dumped
So I had, that was it a good, like, five minutes
Was that, was that bad dump?
It was pretty funny dump.
Sure.
It was like, on my birthday.
Oh, this seems pretty bad.
It was, we were together for five years.
She popped out of a cake and said, it's over.
Yeah, I did, the bit that I, I don't know,
not to do stand-up at you, but like, go, go for me.
It was like, we were together for five years.
It was my birthday on, like, Wednesday, the 5th October.
Yeah.
Then we went to, on like, a trip to Edinburgh.
as like a for a birthday thing that weekend
right and then like we went to see
she brought me for a dinner so we went to
get like an Indian restaurant right
that was nice and we went to see the book of Mormon
okay and a woman like nearly died
like two rows of front of us really she paid
and that to get carded out and they have to stop the show
and it was very funny quite quite the
foreshadowing moment really in hindsight
but uh what an inconvenience
it was it was like because loads of people were like
looking around because obviously we knew right
we could reach out and touch here so we knew that
something serious was happening yeah but lots of other people
like what the fuck's going on
I think this woman might be
dead like you're fucking dope
Matt and
Trey did something very cool here
you're fucking ruining it
it's very okay I don't know
maybe I have tainted opinions of it now
maybe from the dump yeah I tell you I saw
Book of Mormon I wasn't overly blown
away but kind of not as bad
as that but there were like some people behind us
who had seen the show before
and they were saying the punch lines
before the it was
delivered on stage and they were laughing
such obnoxious laughter
it was really disgusting you hate women
laughing oh my god I really do
that's way worse than the old lady dying
she was an old lady dying
yeah she's just wearing too big of a coat and it's like
sorry it's got warm they refused to sign her
blue ray of basketball and she just
had convulsions then you know
fucking orgasm orgasm
yes
so anyway they dumped then
could she not have waited until after the birthday
that's the thing man like we got back to
We got back to the Airbnb
And like everything was fine
We had like a nice evening
And everything was totally cool
And she goes
She goes really quiet
And I'm like
She's like
She's like
I don't want to do this anymore
I'm breaking up with you
Damn
And I was
I was like
Why I asked her
I said
Why didn't you
Like why now
Why do you think that this is the best moment
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
And I was like
We have to hang out
an Airbnb now for 12 hours
We just have to chill out together
And she was like
I didn't know when else to do it
I couldn't think of a better time to do it
And I was like literally any other day
It's a one in three six five chance
Of getting the worst day
And she just nailed it
It was unbelievable
Just out at the park
It's the worst days
It's like Christmas, your birthday
And like when your granny dies
It's like the worst day
It was just like we happen to be stuck
It's like we have to sleep
In the same bed now
I'm always interested
Stop me if she's getting a bit
personal now
but like
I don't care
like
did anything
happen
and is there
like an agreement
like you know
like a goodbye
bang
yes
oh well
yeah
I guess
I guess the
the joke
that I do
is people
always ask
like oh
Mark was that
not really
awkward
and like yeah
obviously
and like
do you just have
to spend
the night together
yeah
did you have
sex one last time
no
oh
okay
I did I
did I did
broke it
in the way
of like
you know
it'd be pretty
taboo
if you had
sex
what if you had
sex with your ex
that'd be
like 10 minutes,
your ex of 10 minutes.
It might be crazy.
Why I'd do is I start jerking off.
I wouldn't let her look at it.
You don't get none of this, no more.
She's been punished.
I'm in the toilet,
be like, oh, I wish you could open this door right now.
I take it back.
I take it back.
I swallowed the key.
Yeah, it was just really awkward.
And then we just like went to the airport together
and we left you took out at the airport
and that was it.
No communication or anything.
When did this happen?
October.
So it was very recent.
relatively recently
yeah
wow
that is very much
something
you should be
annoyed that
like this is like
if I'm breaking up
with someone
I try my best
to not do
on her birthday
I was really
I was really nice
about it
I thought in the moment
I was like
she was crying
and I was like
consoling her
and she kept
she kept saying like
you're not
you're taking this quite well
and I was like
yeah I don't know
I guess like
I'm not gonna get upset
now because we're
stuck in a room
yeah
yeah
but I was like
doing bits at her
I was like
this is kind of
I was like
this is like
this is like when
someone has a really
old dog
and they bring it to the beach
one last time
before they shoot it
Our relationship's dead
I didn't even know
it was sick
I didn't even know it was sick
I didn't even know
our relationship's out on the farm
now
do you have a good relationship
we're now
I haven't spoken to her
no course though
I actually
I posted five minutes
to start
like I didn't tell any of my friends
I didn't tell friends for ages
and then I was like
oh I'm coming back to Dublin
for Christmas
I better like
announce it in some way
But I was getting tired of just texting it
And then getting these messages
That were like, oh, sorry to hear
And it's like, it didn't actually console you in any way
It just felt like opening a wound over it
Yeah, yeah, yeah
So I am, I just posted this clip on Instagram
Of like five minutes of me talking about it
And it's like, I don't know, it's not like,
I try not to be like bitter or mean or anything about it
You should be dull
Ah, I don't know
To one end, like to one end
Listen to me, I'll help it up
I'm like anti-Hitch
I'm the best of breakups
I don't know
I guess I was looking for no real beef
Did that get much engagement
It did among my friends
Because like as I said
Like I didn't really tell that many of my friends
So a lot of them were like
Ha is that real
Like is that real?
But it did result in
The like unfollowing by all of her friends
Like all of her friends
I think I had unfollow them first
But I like didn't block them
Because I was like I want that ratio
No you're getting punished
But you can't look up with her friends pictures anymore
That's okay
That's fine
Oh you're like that is it
I don't really mind.
We're a bit too mean here
but like that is something like
Well condolences that's awful
I'm very sorry
It's good
Like she cried
It's very emotionally
She's manipulative I think
Yes
Gats lighting you
Yeah
No she was nice
She was nice
Like the last year was difficult
I would say
When I was funny
Because we were
Oh you drinking
And I actually returned to Dublin
It was like
Way worse
It was a much worse time
Yeah
Was it kind of a mutual
Like kind of you're drifting
I don't think
It was a mutual drifting
I think I was really
Wanting it to work
and then I was
I don't know
that was maybe
not reciprocated for a while
I think
part of me feels like
maybe I was waited out
and then she was like
Jesus I really cannot shake
this loser
I better
I'm gonna drop them fast
So she sort of
she didn't anticipate
how tenacious
you would be
Oh yeah
Oh I could stay
in a very unhappy
I can make this
quite pathetic
for all involved actually
I can eat dinner
in silence
for a long long time
Well you know
I had someone
She flew from London
over to Dublin for like
one night only to break up with me
and then went back to London. That's
kind I think. Yeah. That's great.
I mean, I wouldn't, yeah, it was
You should tank your lucky stars. It was five years
as well, we were together five years.
This is a long time ago now, so, you know, I'm totally
over. But, you know, I was, you know, I kind of, I
cried, you know, like a little bitch.
Yeah, yeah, so that's what... I don't like
hearing this. It's disgusting, isn't it?
I find out your dad's gay. I don't like this.
that's not anything wrong with it
well you'll be glad to know
I've never cried since
when they were putting my dad in the ground
oh I was chuckling
ha ha ha ha this is her fault
I felt a bit emotionally stunted
because I wasn't really crying
and she called me out for not crying
and then I think I should give you shit for that as well
yeah I felt like a bit of an obligation then
so I was like oh yeah I'll try to force something out
but I haven't been upset since
oh my god I'm getting so angry right now
I'm shaking right now
I think people are mostly,
which, again, this is the great thing
that she's gifted me with,
is like a kind of mean breakup
gives me a lot of pity.
And that's, I can thrive off of that.
I mean, just on the birthday,
the fact that, you know,
so she, who booked the Edinburgh trip?
So the thing is,
these are tickets for the Book of Mormon.
This is very much the logistics thing
that's really not that interesting.
These are tickets that we had for the Book of Mormon
that I had bought for Edinburgh
when I actually lived in Scotland.
And then I finished my PhD and, like,
COVID delayed it all.
and then I didn't live there anymore
but it was like we'll just go back for the weekend
why not but we did like reschedule the date
that we went on like we were meant to be going like two weeks after
two weeks before who booked the flights
who booked those individually but I booked the
tickets in the first place
right who paid for the Indian food
she got the she got that
oh that makes up for the flights
and she got the fucking Broadway show
I think she paid for the Airbnb we were going to split it
and then I was like I'm just not going to
yeah but she said she got me presents right
but she didn't bring them over with her
It was her birthday like six weeks before
and I don't know, I'd spent money
and I'd got her stuff
and my mom was very like
you really shouldn't have spent
any of the money, should you?
I was like driving in the car
with her and I was just like getting really angry
over Christmas and I was like, well yeah
she really fucked me over in it
financially. I guarantee you it not to be too dark here
in a parallel universe
you're the star of a true crime documentary
and all the women who watch her are like
she pushed him too far
yeah you're in
You're in jail on death row
But you're just getting love letters
From all these horny ladies
Like oh Mark I wish you
Suffocated me in the woods
I would have appreciated
You are like a Paul Meskell type
I'm really not bitter
You're like Paul Meskel
Yeah Paul Mescal
Like quiet and uncomfortable
Yeah
And maybe an accused bully I think
There was a period on Reddit
Oh we're cutting this out now
Runaway jury
No we're going to talk about
Run the way jury
I want to hear about this.
No, there's a really stupid thing on Twitter
where it was like,
or on Reddit,
someone early on was trying to cancel Paul Meskel
because they were like,
he bullied me in school
and it was like,
I think he just played football.
I don't think he's beaten my team and gas.
Yeah, like I don't think
there was much to it.
He was showboating.
Because yeah,
well now when you see him do interviews,
he's like quite timid.
It's all the character.
Behind closed doors.
He's a beast.
Yes.
An animal.
He's just chugging fucking full fat milk
and chick.
could fillet rolls and then making
himself sick to keep that body nice and tight
probably
I'll look into that
but anyway I'm on team Mark Maloney
anyway. Yeah of course I think I met that girl
anyway I'm sure she's nice but
Maybe
I think it'd meet her yeah
at some comedy gig
yeah maybe she didn't really come to many
I think it came to the one she came in
and I could tell there's something wrong
I've got that sense
you know
Yeah
So that's sad.
But you've been doing well since then.
I've been, I've bounced back.
Have you been on the apps, yeah?
I was on the apps.
I was on the apps.
I've met someone off the apps.
I would say you probably do well on the apps.
I'm good.
I'm good over text.
Yeah, risen them over text.
I really struggle, I think, when it comes to, like, actual in-person interactions.
Do you get this problem?
I want to see if you get this.
I always find it weird.
So you're talking to a girl online.
And like I say,
You might send some pictures, okay, and you might, you're flirty, talk about, like, you know,
oh, wink, wink, you know, wouldn't mind seeing that, but without the hoodie.
That's, you know, I having a shower, oh, wish I was with you, you know, that kind of stuff.
Oh, yeah, without me.
Yeah, that kind of stuff, okay, so it's very sexual.
And, you know, you might see a Vaj picture.
Whoa.
But then, like, you know, when you meet up with her at the, at the coffee shop, you don't know how,
because, like, I've seen you naked, like, I don't know how to, do I go, do shake your hand, do a fist bump yet?
Do I kiss you?
What do I do?
Kiss your hand like a French gentleman?
Dip and kiss at every opportunity, I suppose, yeah.
No, it is, it's pretty awkward.
I would never do a coffee date.
I was always like, I will try to get quite drunk.
Yes.
I could never do a coffee date.
Take some sedatives before the sedatives,
then a little bump of coke, few drinks,
and you're nice and steady, I think, you know?
Then you're just a confidence of a normal man.
Yeah.
Yeah, really much.
It's so nice.
Some men have that just wake up like,
hey I'm feeling good
and for us like
well for me anyway
you need like you know
a few bumps of coke
you need to like you know
jerk off twice
and then you know
I found the apps to be really
damaging to my self-esteem
I really had to take a pause from them
I happen to meet someone
at the same time anyway
but I was also like I really
I'm gonna drop these apps quite quickly
because it was really starting to hurt my head
do like Tinder plus
or bumble plus or anything
I had Tinder gold for a minute
at the beginning
yeah much is there
I can't remember how much I spent
it varies so much
yeah I definitely had
I had one of them
that helps the game
That helps you just know who liked you.
Right, right, right, okay.
I definitely, yeah, I have spent money on the apps.
Hey, no shame in that.
Much to my shame.
I've spent so much money in the apps.
Yeah, and you still get banned from them.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah, you're not letting on Tinder, right?
He's banned from Tinder.
What did you do?
I don't know why.
That's crazy.
You definitely know why.
You know what?
I had no idea.
I did cough my own finger and send it to someone.
I wiped down no surfaces.
There's no.
way they got a clean print.
That's why you're in jury-dory.
Yeah, it's good to be honest, isn't it?
Just some bro-in-out.
I feel like sometimes I ruin the conversation.
You're like, let's talk about the movie.
Oh, do you really want to talk about the movie?
Not really, no.
Have I'm too much fun.
Am I stressing you out?
Well, just real quick, I'll just tell you about runaway jury.
Yeah.
Just to reset the vibe.
Yeah, I don't think you said, I'm in court, but not for
I'm just on jury
He's fighting for
truth and justice
Yeah
The American way
Yeah
Yeah yeah
Well here's the thing
So runaway jury
Is about
There's this guy goes into an office
And shoots a bunch of people with a gun
All right
Okay
He's the hero then
Yeah
Yeah
He just couldn't take any more
He's listed the podcast
While doing it
But
He shoots this one lad
Okay
And his wife is like
Oh my husband's dead
I'm going to sue the gun company
Oh
Okay
So it's a court case about that
And the big thing is if she wins
That sets a precedent
With every dumb widow
Can sue the gun company, all right?
If we admit a woman was right in court
Society will crumble
You watch
So it becomes this big, big case
And on one side is Gene Hackman
Playing the Pro Gun Lobby
And the other side is Dustin Hoffman
Playing the anti-gun lobby
He's defending this widow
Right nerd
But the whole kind of concept is
Gene Hackman has invented new technology
that can scan people and decide
if they're pro or anti-gun
so it scans you
right and it can read like your body language
your history you vote Democrat
even like the way you move your fingers
you're blinking and all that. Just how big your penis is
if you've got a tiny dick you're loving guns
so is that for example okay
they see Louise Guzman
and they scan him and a picture of his skeleton
just ignore when he says things wrong
just breeze past him
they have a picture of his skeleton right so it's
Julie Guzamu or whatever
whatever you say.
Mr. Mexican Manor.
Giromo from Kimmel.
Puerto Rican.
So they scan his skeleton
and they can see that he's actually
pro gun.
Wait, so how exactly
So they have everything like
you know, so like your background
even like they ask you questions.
You know like and they've got like these glasses
that look like me or your glasses, okay,
but it's actually got cameras inside.
So they're filming.
Pretty high tech.
Yeah, they're filming the reactions of everyone
and say like you like guns
and someone might be like, yeah, I don't care.
Like the way he said in the way of movies
Is like elbows
That shows he actually does care
Like he's acting nonchalant
But he actually does care
Nineties was pretty good
For like incorporating technology
That screenwriters definitely didn't understand
Yeah exactly yeah
Like they don't have time travel in it
But don't really use it
That's gay
But here's the thing
They scan
There's one guy John Cusack
And he's kind of like you
So he's like this lovable guy
All right
He's popular with everyone
Good old chicks as well
And he works in like a game stop type of place, all right?
And he wants to win the big Pac-Man tournament.
Just like me.
Oh, really?
Just like you, all right?
That's what you'd like, wouldn't you?
Yeah.
But he was saying, they scan him, like, okay, he's an idiot, he's a doofus.
He'll be good, and we can easily convince him to be pro-gun.
Okay.
But it turns out he's lying.
He actually is, he snuck on to the jury, and he's so charming, he can swing people either way.
Oh.
And then he calls up Gene Hackman.
Give me $10 million and I'll make them vote for you.
If you don't give it to me, I'll make them vote against you.
So he's like a con man.
He's a con man, yeah.
That's pretty cool.
So one way he cons people, you may have tried this, okay?
He tricks the, you know the woman that you get food?
It depends.
If you get called for jury, you get food.
But otherwise, you just get home.
Let's say if you call for jury, you get food, all right?
What do you get?
I think it's just a sandwich.
I don't think there's any major.
He calls, he does something.
There's no craft services table at jury duty.
Here's what John Cusack does
He makes a phone call
And he cancelled the sandwich order
So nobody gets sandwiches
And we're like, we're hungry
And John Cusack's like
Don't worry
And he goes out to the judge
Like hey
The court case when starts to
When we get in there
Get sandwiches
So then they got all the judges food
So they get lobster and shit
Oh
And they're like hey we love John Cusack
And caviar
Yeah yeah
It's kind of a Robin Hood situation
It's a class warfare thing
So then they all love them then
And yeah
And there's another one
This is one bitch
she's like,
guns are bad.
But she's an alcoholic.
She's drinking in the jury,
all right?
She's got a big jug
with three X's on it.
It's just my vitamin water.
Yeah.
So she's like sneaking alcohol
during the court case arrived.
And John Hughes is like,
hey,
what he got there?
And kind of pokes it
and she drops it.
And he's like,
oh, sorry.
And they throw her off.
Oh.
Oh, but he knew,
he did it on purpose.
So I'll, like,
wander around the court
and see, like,
who's boozing?
Yeah,
who's boozing.
Sniff all the water about it.
They start poking women.
Just go, yeah, go through their handbags.
You find antidepressants.
Mentally incompetent.
Not fit to be on this jury.
Where's my lobster?
They have salpidine.
Sulfidine extra.
Oh, higher coding.
More and more people doing sulfidine.
I feel so left out.
You should, man.
It's the best.
It's really not, by the way.
I'm not already a big drug, man, really?
I just want to be so into drugs.
I find it difficult to remember do drugs.
I got very paranoid about it.
Anything that's, like, synthetic,
because I, I would be a synthetic chemist by trade.
Sure, yeah, yeah.
So, so...
Can you do your license?
If you go on here and be like,
I love fucking sandblasting prostitutes and doing heroin.
No, I'm not like, I'm not a pharmacist.
I'm like a lab chemist.
I'm like a scientist.
Like, like, working in labs.
Not like pharmacies.
Work on anything good?
I used, it was like a lot of sustainability stuff.
Yeah.
Nothing crazy.
It was like about trying to turn trees into, like,
cleaning products.
What?
Trying to replace crude oil.
Somebody watched the happening by,
I have night chamelon.
It's like, wow.
Yeah, the environment's pretty important.
My new hypothesis?
Okay.
But through all that, you kind of learn how difficult it is to actually make stuff cleanly.
And then even in a lab, it's quite difficult to it since I stuff cleanly.
And then I was like, oh, I don't want anyone's bathtub drugs.
You know?
Are you familiar with like the head shop days?
Yeah, yeah.
I would have been, I think, a bit too young.
Okay.
This is James's Woodstock right here.
Yeah.
Well, I'm just, I'm curious.
I think I was in school at the time.
I was, I'm 27.
You're 27.
no, I'm 33, so yeah, it was around 2009 to 2011, roughly, when, like, the head shops
were everywhere, and it was all, like, synthetic, synthetic cannabinoids, synthetic amphetamines,
blah, blah, blah. So, yeah, I'm sure it probably was very dangerous. Am I fucked, basically,
did I fry my brain, and now I'm going to have schizophrenia in my cock or whatever, whatever
happens? I don't know. Would you, would you, would you, you, would you, you, would you, you, you,
what's your voice do you have like a voice is it drugs porn um women oh i don't know i don't know uh i'm really
trying to fit in with the comedians by being sad in some way no no i i guess i i don't know
you happy are you no not really no good not really but i don't really i don't really medicate in
anyway you know i guess i just kind of get off i don't medicate either yeah you don't really
i just wake up and start dancing yeah yeah yeah just start grooving on the bus sometimes
I start dancing with the driver
They don't like it
I personally just cannot stand
sobriety in any form
Really? I need to have something at all
times
Just anything
I need to fill my time
I do find that like I like attention
Yeah sure
So that way
That's the biggest drug of all man
I'm an attention
addict
Yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
On social media
But that's good though
It's good to not have any vices
maybe food
I don't know
I guess I over eat all the time
I'm big binge eater
yeah yeah yeah
you're nothing
you're okay
you got nothing on the cat dog
I tell you that
we're getting there
yeah
one day
I tell you
I'm like two
I'm two years away
from looking like
Brendan Fraser
in the whale
that's gonna be my life man
you're gonna be like
my Puerto Rican nurse
Brian coming in
Have you seen that as
No James stop eating the pizza
pepperoni not good for you
get off of you or
My dog disappears.
I actually haven't seen it.
Brian just watched it.
I watched it in bed eating a chicken fillet roll.
I was like, this is great.
It's Brendan Fraser's fat and gay?
Yes.
He's also gay?
He's also gay.
And dying?
Well, he's just fat, which leads to dying.
He's like 600 pounds or something.
He's an absurdly.
Does he look silly?
Or does it look?
No, they do a good job with the fatness now.
You were repulsed.
I was not repulsed.
Repulsed and direct at the same time.
I was like one of those things.
I didn't like how
a lot of people
like he plays this
disgusting fat man
it's actually
kind of offensive
of fat people
but like he's
he's fat
they do a good job
make him
look he doesn't look like
it seems like he still
has pretty good skin in it
like no
he takes his shirt off
and it's like
it's pretty
bed soory
yeah
yeah I haven't hit
the bed soar's phase
just yet
although
there are a few
blemishes
starting to appear
I thought it was a very
not affectionate
empathetic
empathy.
Yeah.
It's a very
empathy look at him.
It wasn't like,
they weren't like
throwing tomatoes
at him or anything.
Yeah,
I think there was a lot of
sort of knee-jerk
reactionary outrage.
Like, oh, it's fat phobic.
Everybody knows being 600 pounds
doesn't affect your health negatively.
That's good, isn't it?
You can still pop a wheelie.
They will,
people will unironically say that.
Like being like 400 pounds
doesn't negatively affect your health.
Well, certainly does.
It's not a different level.
we're going to trust the science
on the fucking, you know,
the autism factory or whatever
they're doing over there in Wuhan.
Fucking, yeah.
Then, you know, we have to admit
that being a hog will give you a
headache, at least.
At the very least.
And I say this as a fat person, you know,
I'm probably autistic
too.
You've gone full Wuhan.
But anyway,
you're happy with the job and all that.
moment.
My job.
Yeah.
No, I really
dislike my job.
Oh, wait,
I shouldn't say that.
I get it.
We cut that out.
Yeah,
I don't know.
The job is different.
It's more like my life,
my life focus has shifted.
PhD is very singular focus in your life.
You've got the PhD.
Yeah,
yeah,
but it's kind of like a dog
chasing a car in a way.
It's like you got it.
You get it.
Do you not know what to do with it.
Yeah,
it's very,
it's very stressful.
It's, uh,
well,
the PhD doesn't like,
it's not like you get it and then suddenly like people are calling you up and like,
Hello, it's Mr. MIT here.
No, no, not at all.
It's very like, oh, well, every job that you're applying for, everyone else also has a PhD.
So, you know what's the point really?
Would you go for the doctorate then? Is that the next step?
No, PhD is a doctorate.
So you're a doctor Maloney?
Yeah, I guess so.
Wow. That's pretty good.
She still broke up with you.
What a fuck is.
Yeah, it's funny because I was, PhD, you're very poor.
You don't have any money for four years.
And then it was like, oh, I have a job now.
And it's like a lot more, immediately just a lot more money.
People are literally, they're overeducated.
that's a big problem
right now
they're overeducated
too much knowledge
in their head
and there's no jobs
for it
so like I remember
like a few years ago
even like
I knew loads of people
who were studying
like psychology
and like philosophy
especially I knew loads
of philosopher consul right
and now they're like
they're probably dead right now
like there's not
there's not on forums
do you know
what are you going to do with that
I think well like
depends on the subject
arts I guess
or business
business is one of those big ones
where it's like
people will
it's like those business
podcast like those LinkedIn guys
you be like
you don't need to go
to college because I didn't
and it's fine.
Whereas it's like
with STEM it's a bit
like you probably should go to college
like you probably should learn
the theory of maths and science
and everything.
We need to stop children
like making bad mistakes
like all these kids keep learning
the arts and shit like that's
like no you need to learn coding
and like you know
how to
I know work in a meat factory
you know something that is actually
you're going to be able to use
in the future.
Are you anti-art
in general do you not think it's important
I don't want to be funded at all
Brian has been going out of his
way to make sure that
stand-up comedy does not get any
arts council funding
he's very much
she's the John Cusack
of the Irish comedy scene
he's going in
Where do you think that would go
Where do you think that would go?
Definitely not to us
Anyway
That's the thing
Right where does that
Conds who don't deserve
Yeah yeah
Yeah people deserve a fucking brick
more than art funding
What do I know
What do I know
I really want to
Some people don't think stand up
is an art form
Then they get on stage 20 minutes
Like, I'm not convinced
Yeah
You haven't swayed me
Yeah, it's funny
It's always
Yeah
Oh, you talk of wine, did you?
Great
But I'm also like
I don't want funding for nurses either
Or just
I know a guy
He was a hardcore libertarian
And he was from Liverpool
And he was very like
Anti-tax
Anti-Any-anything
Sure
And he was like
I don't even like
The NHS
like if I was laying dead in the street
if an ambulance came to get me I'd rather opt
out than take the NHS
because you're a coward then if the NHS
I'm actually really about it like
I'm really
Yeah
A libertarian from Liverpool
That sounds exhausting
Larry the Liverpoolian libertarian
He was interesting
All right slats
I just think we should
Pull up your boot straps
I'm sick of the bloody fucking
They're coming over here
Getting the fuck him
they do stand-up comedy
and they get the fucking arms council
vote in
I'd say him
That's your mate
That is
He's very nice
Mirked
Mirked
You're not marked
To like Alex Jones and everything
Oh really
Oh I did
In work in the lab
And he just bring up like
A fucking
Oh he works in the lab
Yeah
This is a reason
This would be in the UK
During the degree
But like it was
He would just come with these points
Like these arguments
like these arguments that I don't think about
the frogs being gay
apparently that one's true
oh that is true yeah
I think it's more like
that is literally true
Ryan was put in the man hours there
he went down to the local lake
and Carlo and just butt-fucked a bunch of frogs
I think it's actually like it makes the frogs
trans like and Alex Jones heads
don't really know the difference so they're just like
oh it's gay
you're just gay it just alters their like
genitalia or maybe they've become like
hamaphrodite or something
it makes his chromosomes
also that affects my taint
like my taint is different now
your gooch
that sweet sweet
sweet gooch
remember that Chinese woman said it
you drank too much water in Flint
and now your taint is upside down
no but didn't the Chinese woman say that
on online on the internet one time
I don't know what Chinese women says
lots of things on the internet
well there's someone saying like
a lot of microplastics is making my taint either bigger
or smaller oh yeah I've heard that
yeah your prostate is getting like
And you're there like,
rolling your eyes.
I mean,
rolling in your eyes
at my teeth.
Definitely like the plastics
and the preservatives and food,
I'm sure are all carcinogenic
and contributing to our ill health.
While the plane fucking trains
are derailing in Ohio.
That was crazy, isn't it?
It's mental.
You know, another one.
It just happened in Ohio again.
And in Greece as well,
it happened.
No, that was just people, though.
Don't worry.
That wasn't hazardous chemicals.
I was just 60 people who died.
And apparently,
it was like due to human error
and now the Greeks are out there
moaning in the streets
yeah
um
like the whole
of infrastructure is falling apart
yeah and there's no like
it's not cool
everybody's doing stand up
on the arts now
nobody's out there on the railroads
everyone rid of the big money
in Dublin stand up
and they're like look yeah
it's over it
fucking seen and herd
man you know what was seen and heard
another fucking train crash
have you been to any scene and heard
no I've never gone to anything
I've heard some horrific stories
worries about those cons.
I've heard they make you sit through a different show before you get to your show.
Oh yeah, I've heard, yeah.
But they never give you another comedian.
What do they give you?
Well, they don't want it.
They'll give you a comedian if they're stuck.
They'll normally give you some girl with a hula hoop or something shit like that.
It's kind of fun though.
I'd rather that than like the misery of an hour of stand up from some of the people.
Well, imagine like if it was me and you doing it.
If it was me and you doing like an hour each, that'd be great.
We'd be high-fiving, probably banging chicks afterwards.
Probably tagging in, tagging out.
Yeah, there'd be like a half pipe and dudes doing six skateboard moves, you know.
Drinking bud lights and all that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
No laughs, just chance.
Brian, Brian.
Yeah, wouldn't even do stand-up.
Some kid rock karaoke, you know?
Instead, it's like, you know, you're doing stand-up, right?
And before that, there's some, like, me, okay, some fucking nerd on, okay,
doing, like, a show about Deep Space Nine.
And, like, it was, like, an interpretive dance about Quark and Odo.
Yeah.
And all this.
Deep Space Nine is a...
how you, that's your like framing
narrative framing device for you
getting molested as a child.
Deep space down is what you call
your anal cavity. It is good to have something there that like
people can fail at though I think. Like a really
low stakes
debut, you know. Yeah.
But just like this idea that someone would
I don't know go to Edinburgh raw or you know
it's good to have something of a practice.
Did you do Edinburgh when you were over there?
I visited, but I never did.
I completely wasted my time in some always.
You've done Edinburgh, Brian.
I've done, yeah, I've done a half hour with someone else.
I was going to do an hour this year, but I've got a job.
I could take time off the job, but actually someone I'd like to spend time with.
So I kind of would rather spend time with her and not just go over and fail to do gigs with like, you know.
So you do like a full hour, a solo show?
I did a full, so what I did was when I went to Edinburgh.
It was a full month.
Yeah.
The first three weeks, I did a split show with someone.
Yeah, yeah.
because that was great.
Who was it with?
I won't say who.
He doesn't want to be associated me anymore.
Oh, really?
No, no, it's Parrick Williams.
Good guy, good guy, yeah.
But you know what their original idea for the name?
Brian pitched the name to them and it was going to be called Brian and Porrick fuck each other.
Whoa.
Porick rejected that so Brian's like, here, Cadd, and you'll take the scraps for you.
The sloppy seconds.
But the show is still going to be called Brian and Porig.
Jersey, see Porrug like come up on Brian's phone and you say,
Are you texting?
No, I don't have to worry about that.
Poor, I can't call Bryce.
Whoa.
Whoa. Hey.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No.
Richie Bree's better than me.
But then last week, I did, I had the hour to myself.
Right.
And I think for like four days, I did, like, an hour long show.
Yeah.
There's a bit of a struggle.
Like, didn't have an hour of material, so I had to fill up with crowd work.
And, uh, I had people, had a whole audience walk out on me one time.
Wow.
How big was the audience?
Oh, about.
20 something people. Did they synchronise
it? Did they synchronise it? No, so basically it's kind of
like when one person left
it's like it was like they like kind of like the
gateway then we're like oh guess I can leave as well
so it's like one person leaves two three
two four and then eventually
it's like when everyone's leaving it's very
awkward I'd sort of people would be like I guess I'll just stay
it's like six people left so it's like we might as well
leave then. What did you do? Did you finish the show?
No I waited down until the last left
You know what makes me suicidal, an empty room?
A big empty room.
Just makes you want to end you know.
You're still walking faster now.
Did you have like one guy left and you just like...
No, they all left.
It wasn't even like one guy.
You'd be like, hey, I guess we're to do it to you.
Like, they all just left.
Yeah.
Which is weird.
I thought I was doing well.
I thought I had them in the second half.
I thought I had them inside there, yeah.
I thought my Brexit stuff was doing well.
I think it wasn't even like the left in the scuss.
he was just out of boredom or something
It was just like a total apathy
It was just like, ah
I feel nothing and they left
I assume I'm not
And then the other shows then I did
We had like you know
Someone else like we did half and half again
We kind of had fun
When we've got three people
And we all did like a few minutes each
Yeah yeah yeah
But I would definitely do it again
I'll do it next year now
And I think next year
I want to really
I want to really come to it
Prepared
It's so goddamn expensive though
Last thing
They're really priced out any middle class
cunce.
And it's just the people
deserve to be there
like you know
like Alster Campbell's
daughter
you know
if your dad's a war criminal
you deserve to talk
about wine
I want to hear
your tics
yeah
yeah
uh
what gives you the ick
you're dumb bitch
did you ever see that
a handle breast
like it was really a special
it was kind of like a documentary
about doing it
yeah
yeah
and he's like this is fucking
it's awful
he hates it
like yeah
he was right
it was a terrible time
it does seem awful
I've never
done it myself but I don't know
I've gone over for a week this year
it's weird the people that go over for a full
present company excluded of course
but the people that go over and do a gig
for an entire month and they come back is like
you didn't get any better
you're still bad at this
you're still very bad
again not you
I'm talking about you yeah it's funny
you know who I'm talking about
yeah it's fun some people like
they'll go over with their stuff
this is very catty now you know we still
talk about the fall
but
how don't run away
jury end he convinces them all to go to an
Edinburgh show
is some people like I do
quantify amusing now where this refuse to change
it's like they they write their
40 minutes or like that
in the first like three weeks doing stand up
and like this is it and is
if I change I'm capitulating
you know I just gotta never rewrite
anything this is my
truth I think I very much so I would still do
jokes that I've had for years and years and years
but my
delivery kind of changed I very
went heavy on the performance aspect
of it.
You were very performative.
Yeah, so when
because you kind of mentioned it before
but definitely
like your style is almost
like a character
like you're not being yourself up there
so when did that sort of come about?
You're kind of lying to the audience
you're kind of like
yeah
yeah yeah
I've had people be like
sorry man are you like are you all there
like are you all right like
really yeah
there's some absolutely stupid
cons out there like whoa
how do you definitely on drugs
when you wrote that
you were so fucked oh
he must be so weird
bro
anytime I come off
people are just like
yeah
makes sense
look at you
yeah that tracks
that's a real
well you're definitely
on antidepressants
we wrote down
whoa
it's real something
this weird
situation
where if I do
if I do
the bits
that are obviously fake
and obviously silly
and then finish
with like
oh here's a
and I say
I'll do a real life
story now
and then I discuss
the breakup
or discuss whatever
I'll get people
at the end be like
how
was that breakup real, was it?
And I'm like, yeah, why would I, yeah, why would I lie about that?
It's very much that it was not in keeping with the rest of it.
Yeah.
But, yeah, you said, I think at the first time we met, you said that I was like,
Emo.
Emo Phillips.
Emo Phillips, if he was on cocaine from Dublin.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I had to pretend to you, Emo, Philip, if I knew who Emo calls.
I mean, nobody really knows.
I just, I looked him up, but I was like, that's fine.
James, licey little references only he gets.
Yeah, that's right.
It makes me feel superior.
Soteric.
Oh, you're like a tell-o.
I hope me think the lady doth bits too much
No, but Emo Phillips
I just meant in terms of like the character
Because that's something in this scene anyway
We really don't see a lot of
A lot of it is just fucking sad losers
Like us going up like
I can't get a date
But so you actually have like a character
There's a real kind of you know
It's like a more I don't know
It just feels dynamic
It feels better
It's powerful
So I'm hooked over when people like asked to come to shows
and then I have to explain like, oh yeah, but like
it's not going to be like, I'm not going to be getting up
and talking about work or getting up and talking about my friends.
Talk about Sheila in the office.
She haunts the good coffee.
And she denies the Holocaust, but the coffee thing mostly.
She got an abortion.
But do it in the voice.
It'll be funny when you do their voice.
Do you ever get as well as sometimes like I'll go,
I never invite anyone to a show
they always like oh can I come
and like they come and like they like to show
and they're like oh you know a show
in two days time can come to that one as well
oh right you know it's not
same thing
it won't be different
oh so I guess it's not really good at all
I guess it's rubbish actually
he was quite lazy isn't it
I like that it was completely thoughtless
I thought that there was no preparation at all
you wouldn't see Jimmy Carr doing that
doing three specials
that are the exact same
holy fuck
Jesus no wonder he got
caught out for attack
he doesn't know how to hide shit at all
a bit a slight a hand
or something
doing the same
fucking ah whatever
hey power to him
that's what I say
he's over in New York now
looking more and more
like an AIDS patient
every time I see him
he looks very easy
very gaunt
he's doing a terrible
really bad shows over there
isn't it's not like
reality
TV show type of stuff, isn't it?
Well, is that Jimmy Carr or is that
Dez? Des Bishop's got
like, uh... Oh, he has like an Instagram, like
a influencer wife or something, right? Yeah. He was on like a reality
TV show. Yeah. And all
like people were TikTok were like
commenting, who's this old man?
I think people, yeah, people didn't like him on it, but it's weird.
That may be like Dez so much.
He's the heel, you know?
All these like 12 year old girls like, he's disgusting.
You can't handle him, bitch,
or... Wait till you meet his brother,
then you're really in for a laugh.
you got a right kick out of that
oh Jesus
much respect
yeah of course
nothing but love and respect
the 12 year olds are the problem
they don't know what they want
all you can hope is that
you got a bro like Maloney
on the jury
looking out for you
you know
yeah
so anyway
that made me laugh a lot there
I like that
it's good to have you here man
I hope you become a regular
I hope you're on jury duty a lot
I'm here for weeks man
I hope it's like an OJ situation
the only problem is like
we always find our schedules out
kind of late in the game
like I only found out my schedule
for like Thursday
as we were talking right there
so like that's kind of hard
people are always like
can we record
and it's like it's hard work
you're making me work here
I like just texting James
I'm recording now
I'm at the house.
Just bring it out to the car.
We'll do it there.
Also, the thing is, this isn't a very big room,
and then your room isn't very big either.
My room's even smaller.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So it's like, you know,
it's not very professional.
This is very, like, people kind of say,
oh, you guys should do videos.
Like, I don't think anybody wants to see this.
This is a pretty, this is as good as it ever looks, by the way.
He's done it.
It looks way worse, usually.
This is it.
my bed. This is me putting
on airs, you know. There's a crutch in
here. There is, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just one, because I'm not a weakling.
It's not a no visible injury, really.
It's quite strange.
You guys, why is there a crutch here?
Ah, it's just a little scheme I'm cooking up the one.
Don't worry about them, boys, you know?
The people give more money when you got a crutch.
Bitch, get away!
Uh, yeah.
So who are your influences?
I don't know that
I feel like I was I was actually
I was a big Jimmy Car fan
when I was a kid
so was I was I was as well
I was a big Bo Burnham fan
until it became really violently
cringed to be that
yes
I feel like Jen
what's the generation we're right now
is Gen Z
I feel like Gen Z are now
anti-Boburnum
really
I think they're more family guy now
okay
because you know
for a while it was all like
you know
I am sad
I might anxiety
and it's okay
to have a panic attack
but now it's back
to fact
family guy now it's all Stewie Griffin you know
it's all bird is the word now
oh they love that
they love quagmire
yeah yeah sex pest quagmire
friendly sex event yeah
Bo Burnham is like
incredibly talented and I am a fan of his stuff
but as you said it is cringe to be that
because the people that like them
are some of the worst consul I do it's
always that's always the case of anyone's creative
like Bo Burnham is great
who else is like creative you know like
there's a lot of people out there that are very talented
but when you see the fans
it's like misplaced
selective outrage
yeah
did you watch that
the Chris Rock special
oh the recent one
yeah
no it's good
oh you ain't ready for it
brother
I liked it
it was okay
I liked it more than he did
yeah
I didn't hear it though
it was live wasn't it
yeah
could you feel that
there was one kind of major
kind of flob of a joke
that I mean it's annoying because
it's a flob talking about
Will Smith
yes
so that's the bit that we'll get
clipped to people talk about
you know
and like to be honest
that's a very
highly anticipated special
just because of the slap, you know?
Just the same with like Pete Davidson
when he had it after the break-up of Aaron and then he just
like five, ten minutes at the end.
Well, that's like a normal person.
A normal person isn't going to do like,
here's 110 reasons why Arianda
was a bitch slut.
That's what people kind of expect.
They're like, oh, he's going to go hard on her.
Yeah, he's going to basically kill her.
Going to kill like shake she killed Mac Miller.
Dan Schneider sold Mac Miller
The Fentanol
Bad Oxy
I haven't watched much Pete Davidson stand-up
He's not great
He's all right
I think the Iron Agenda stuff is like interesting
He's likable though
He's likeability about him
I did watch you remember Netflix did that thing
Where it's like Pete Davidson presents
And such and such
Snoot Dog Presents
Yeah it was like it's basically
They put like Bill Burr as well
where they get like, let's say Pete Davidson
so he gets most of the money
and he basically goes like, hey everyone, it's me
here's some of my friends. And they get like
four no-name acts on who probably got
paid literally like peanuts.
Literally got like a, you know the coaster
you put the cup down on. They got paid with
that, all right? And they
and then it's like basically like they sell it with
Pete Davidson's name. Yeah.
No-name comics. He like emcised
it basically. He does a few minutes up the top
and then it's just his friends.
I watched the Bill Burr one.
One of the worst things I've ever seen in my entire life.
That's really weird for him to do it, it feels, man.
Yeah, he was good.
Yeah, it's easy money.
Yeah, but Jimmy Carr was actually on it.
Yeah.
But everybody bombed.
It was atrocious.
Michelle Wolfe was on it.
So these people are good.
I don't know.
It's just a bad crowd.
Was there a guy dancing on it?
Is there some fucking...
Fucking Ronnie Cheng came out and started singing
fireworks by Katie Perry and, yeah.
I was like, what is this?
No, who's that guy?
Josh Adam Myers.
He does musical comedy.
but it's bad
yeah
it makes me sick
he's a man of the corksine
doing musical comedy
at the moment
and it's like
unironically
I love it so much
I can't even think
of his name
it's like
donal or something
but he does like
a cover of tainted love
acapella
and it's tainted spuds
and it's 90% of it
is the lyrical content
of tainted love
but he does like
the full four minutes
it like keeps going
it's so like
I've never had a weirder vibe
curated in a room
than him doing
tainted spuds
I think I might know this guy, is he a bit off a little bit?
I don't know, maybe, maybe.
I've never spoken to him, but not neurologically, but he presents as a little off.
He's kind of an odd man, for sure, yeah, yeah, yeah, I think I know what you're talking about.
You think Tainted Spuds is odd?
It's so, because the whole room is kind of looking around them, and then they get into it, and everyone started singing Tainted Sports.
By the end of it, everyone was really on board.
And then they're like, you know, holding him up and carrying them out of the venue.
And then you have to emcee an empty room.
I've never seen, like, a better opener, because I think just before,
just after that James Moorne went on
and I was like, yeah, this is perfect.
Like, this is the best kind of vibe
to go into James Warren
talking about the Moorbeck for 10 minutes.
That really sets the table, yeah.
We like Mourne a lot.
He's another friend of the show.
Yeah, I'm big fan of James Warren, yeah, yeah.
So we're actually almost an hour there.
That's not, man.
Is there anything you wanted to ask us?
How about that?
Yeah, I was going to talk about Fall,
but you go ahead.
Oh, well, how's the fall?
Oh, I'm sorry, well, let's talk about Fall then.
I don't know, you want to talk to something?
If not, it's cool, no pressure.
I was being polite,
there you know how is the fall it was interesting so who's your least favorite guest professional least
every guest ever oh i haven't answered straight away but i bet i bet i think i spoke to you before after
because you mentioned on the podcast one time you're like move on uh wait well i missed the question
do you say who's the best or who's the worst least favorite yes oh okay
i would probably say james warren he's like everyone's fave no yes he's a fan favorite very fun
dynamic yeah yeah everyone likes so yeah it's fun because like brian will say something and then
james would go what the fuck does that mean you stupid con
and then I just go
ha ha ha yes
it's a great fun dynamic
that everybody loves
and then I leave
and go into the bathroom
and then water starts
going under the door
and I think did spudge
but yeah
no more it's good
we enjoy and the fans seem to like it
we need getting back on soon enough
I tell you what
I think we need to make a bigger effort
this year of getting guests on
because that's something
that would really help us out
even just like, you know why we just really hate each other
sometimes, like, sometimes I literally,
oh, all right, I will say sometimes
when we record, I leave, and I just think of a crash
in the car, I was like, I'd say
like, that was an awful waste of my life, you know?
Yep, I feel you.
Yeah, but when James Borns around her, Mark Maloney,
it changes the dynamic, you know?
Hugely, I'm sorry.
So, I mean, the fall is, um,
it's about these women,
they're like, love their adrenaline junkies.
Yeah.
And they climb mountains with their boyfriend, Hank.
one boyfriend between
all of them
No as well
Who's the thing
Polyamorous
He's their friend
He's a boy
Blondy and black hair
All right
Why didn't you say
Blondy and Blackie
What didn't you say blondey
And blacky
There's a blondey
And criminal
Here
But anyway
So
Karen and criminal
Okay
So
So Hank
Folls off a cliff
And dies
It's kind of like
A big no-no
When you're
Like a mountain climber
Yeah
Yeah
It's kind of an L
Give something
it gives him the ick
it was not a dope
I'll tell you that now
cringe
so Hank it was married
to Blondie
alright
yeah so Blondy
becomes an alcoholic
on the mountain
no no
I said it's a year
actually in the bar
just fucking strangers
just giving a hickey
to a St Bernard
yeah
sucking it down
but then
but then
Brunette shows up
she's like you know
you gotta conquer your fear
we're going to climb
the highest tower
in America
and this big rusty
old tower
and it's like
literally like a billion
story
high. So, literally.
Then they climb up it, all right? They climb up
to the very top, but then the ladder falls off
and they're stuck at the top of this and they can't get down.
What exactly is it, though? Is it like a...
It's the Mia Khalifa, the largest tower.
I beg your pardon. What? Freudian
slip. That's like
the Saudi thing, isn't it? Dabu Dhabi?
The Birch Khalifa? I don't think it even is the tallest
one anymore. I think, or maybe there's one coming up.
It's going to be bigger. It's not even like a building. It's literally
just like a rusty old
Oh it's like the spire
Yeah
It's a rusty spire
With a ladder on it
The HIV riddle spire
These two bitches on the spire
Yeah
So it's like this thing
It's a rusty thing
It's like a little red light
On the top to stop planes hitting it
And it's got like satellites on it
It's like I think it's like out commission
Now that's what it's used
For back in the day
So then they've got to try
And make their way down
But they can't
So it's stuck up there
And it's kind of like
Like the movie Gerard's
Gerard's game
Oh yeah
where it's like a premise you're like
how the hell you're going to make a movie out is
and then you're watching it
and you're kind of thing like
ah it's you're doing okay
is it good
I didn't think it was good now
and what happens is the girl finds out
the brunette was also banging Hank
cool
why did she tell her that up there
no what she had a Hank tattoo
in her foot and her shoe falls off
so then like
it's whack
really really
that's literally how she finds out
yeah
that is so retarded
because what happens is like
this is dog shit
they want to send a
signal but they have no signal so they send the text but won't send so put the shoe and put the phone in the shoe and drop it from the tower they don't get reception when they're high up on the telephone tower they're too high yeah okay so they have to drop the phone and hope that it sends for hits the ground in the shoe and then she's the hang tattoo on her phone and it's like oh you're not my real friend um and then for a while they're trying to get down but the twist is okay twist is okay a one stage brunette um turns into a skeleton what it turns out brunette actually fed
off and she's not real
Brunette
She's a hallucination
She's hallucination
Yeah Brunette's actually
Why is she a skeleton though
Oh to show the audience
That she's dead
You know
So did she die with Hank
No no no she died
Is it like a skeleton
clutching on to the tower
No no no she's a talking skeleton
Is it silly?
No it's a hallucination
But does it look silly?
No no it's meant to look spooky
Okay
Yeah
This sounds retarded
So it turns out
Brunette died like 20 minutes before
And blonde
these just be done tower talking herself
because she can't handle two debts
you know even if there's a lying cheating
bitch who fuck tank
yeah did she push Brunette
no no she fell like so she fell
so did she know that
so did she see the
did she think the skeleton cheated on her
or did it?
No no no this before she falls
so she finds out so she definitely
did cheat on her
oh yeah definitely cheated yeah
it's not just like a coping mechanism
of oh she's dead but it's actually good
that she's dead
because she was cheating on me
yeah like your missis fell down
that's sound daughter
that's how well it's
Jesus
I was sending
Like the clip that I posted
I sent it around to some of my friends
To be like
Do I come across bitter or bad in this
In any way
And I feel like I've undone that now
But just by
No, you should be bitter
But I need to encourage men
To be more angry
Yeah
There's not enough angry men out there
Yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah
12 angry men
It's very dutie
Yeah
Yeah you need like more
Andrew Tate in your life
You know
I'd love to
Yeah
Andrew Tate's me of a pussy to be honest
I can do better
yeah he's got lung cancer now
does he well allegedly
oh i heard that i think
people are disputing the legitimacy
of it though they're saying that he's
faking it to get out of prison
but there was like an x-ray of his lungs
and there was a kind of a ominous
looking dark spot on the act
so that's pretty bad i would say
avoid just a complete lack of a heart
a tumor
tumors are bad no but that tumor is
um you know misogynistic
so whatever instagram there sorry
yeah he does that a lot
I'll tell you what
we might head off soon now
because we're just at an hour there now
and that was great
have you got anything to plug
or anything before we
hop off?
Not really,
I am here on jury duty
so I don't really have
I'm gay
Do you want people to come to jury duty
Yeah
Everyone wants to hang outside
Are you doing bits
Have you won everyone over
Are you like John Cusack
Dude oh in
Yeah
In the room
Because it is just a big empty room
I was tempted to
I don't know if you ever saw that tweet
Where the woman like
Was getting up
It was a cinema
and the screening wasn't working
and then this woman
just got up
and did five minutes
and like made everyone
in the cinema
watch her to stand up
no they all hated it
oh obviously
the room
the waiting room
is laid out like a big
crowd
so you could
in theory
get up and just do
a tight five
wow
probably get disqualified
him usually
you get sent home
be like this guy's mentally ill
sent him away
but uh
no I guess
yeah I can't really plan anything
I was meant to be doing
a big gig in cork
in the pavilion
which doesn't mean anything
to anyone in Dublin
I guess, but it's a large room, and I don't think
we're going to fill it. But I don't know if I'll
be able to do it now, and I haven't actually told the lads that I don't know
if I'll be able to do it. Who's, who's the other
lads? Tom Lawrence is hosting.
Oh, yeah. He's good.
Skinny. He's, we like that.
Yeah. He's English.
Yeah. John James is hosting,
or is, uh, headlining. Okay.
I don't know you've ever seen John James. No.
He's good. Okay.
He's white?
Yes. Okay.
Oh, I shouldn't.
I just checking. They are, I guess everyone is white.
You can trust him. He works.
He works.
an old has he knows these things
we have one South American woman
that's a bit
yeah that's something all right
there's Leslie Martinez
I know her yeah
there's Don McDonough
Leslie's not white
she's South American
he never claimed
all right sorry
okay sorry
I'd be the whole race thing here
Rosso Donahoo
yeah
yeah he'd like me crash in his gaff
one time
Ray Murphy
he's good people oh wait
wait
wait
it's all good yeah
it's all good yeah
your buddy
why your people are
assuming that me and Ray have beef.
We don't have beef. I think the...
The roast battle. Yeah, what everyone enjoys
is the idea that you have beef.
Everyone assumes James' beef everyone.
No, me and him got on fine.
It was kind of the judges and the crowd
that hated both of us.
But I actually had a bit of a redemption
there. I won the last roast battle.
You know, you know.
People did apologize
for me. It was Rob Nother, was it?
What? Rob Nother.
Yes, I defeated Rob Nother.
Jesus is a poor innocent boy.
A little child and I had my
way with him and a room full of
cheering people.
Oh, like a gladiator.
Are you not entertained?
While I fucked him.
Ha ha ha ha. That's the gag here.
I raped him.
That's the goof.
That's the goof.
No, I didn't.
It was a great.
A gym watched the whole thing.
I loved it.
It was a fun.
It was very fun night, though.
I had a lot of fun.
Rob's good guy.
I like Rob a lot.
So he had some funny jokes about me.
being a pig
he handed me
a Snickers
bar at one time
That's good
You get to eat it
Oh I took it home
And I oh I did enjoy it
Yes
It tasted like victory
And like a Snickers
Also
Yeah it was good
So have you got any plans
For the rest of the year
In life
Yeah
I mean like you know
I'll be in Edinburgh

That's part of show me the funniest.
It's part of the prize.
You get Brian.
You used to be a Bulmer's voucher.
Now it's Brian O'Toole
On tap
Yeah
This was tweeting
Like enjoy your brino tool
Yeah
That's right
It's very inside baseball
Yeah
Very much so
You know it's funny
We'll end in a second
But he's still alive
You know
He is
Every now and again
I don't go on Twitter
That much
Every now and again
Like I'm looking at like
Let's say like
Hey
Look
To each his own
You know
I'd just go where the money is
But uh whatever
Well look
Let's have a clean ending there
Oh yeah
That's about
Let's cut all of that.
Yeah, actually, yeah, yeah.
Well, look, man, it's great to have you here.
Thanks for having me.
I want to have you back, all right?
That's not bullshit, not blowing ass up your smoke, all right?
I really want you to hear of it.
I'm not blowing smoke in the car.
And what are your handles?
Give us your handles.
Oh, it's, I guess, at Mark Maloney at Instagram, but it's like spelled phonetically,
but not really phonetically.
I don't know.
Oh, great.
It's difficult.
Mark, and then Maloney is spelled M-O-L-O-W-K-N-E.
so it's like M-O low low me you're the right podcast for an inability to market that's
kind of our brand yeah if you look up enough macballotis and see one with like long hair and a
mustache yeah that's me yeah yeah there you go okay well happy to have you here I hope you enjoy
Edinburgh and all that'll be fun and we will see again yeah I'm sure about to see you
tell you what's the pub over there yeah not reveal where we're from now the pub over there
is meant to have the best
pints of Guinness
in Dublin.
Really?
So maybe we could
Have the Grieve Diggers?
Yeah.
Okay, great.
Well, everybody knows.
Who do you think's common
for you, Brian, really?
Who's coming?
Who's coming?
It's not safe out there.
Well,
Grave Diggers is known
to have the best pint of Guinness
in Dublin.
So my point is,
if you all go over there
sometime, I have a pint.
Or just have a pint
somewhere else or just hang out at least.
Or just drink cans
under a bridge, you know.
All of my male social interactions
now happen
via gigs and podcasts.
it's not like that yeah it's great
nothing truly social
it's a little secret we have
women don't have that
yeah they just hang out
and like talk about
their feelings
they go to the bathroom together
they don't know anything
with the fall
yeah
yeah
I'm glad the way this episode
fall is coming
for everyone
let me tell you
I'm glad the way episode went
I'm glad I didn't get to talk
too much about the movies
because that would actually
like Godfather 2
would have ruined the whole thing
you know
yeah I want to talk
I enjoy talking to you
I'm excited to incessantly
listen to this
and cringe in every
flop joke I made
or every
good moment
that I have.
You were great.
Zero, zero.
I'll cut it out.
Don't worry.
I don't feature it on.
I mean, Brian's usually
the dead weight,
