Yes.
And that's,
that was,
that's how you start a podcast.
It started.
That's the better of the two.
We had two to pick from.
Lots of energy.
James started
with a kind of self-deprecating
kind of like,
oh,
I'm starting it.
But then,
yeah,
I was like,
she just came in with
racism and homophobia.
Yeah,
just to like kick it off.
That's what the fans want.
Yeah,
yeah.
That's what sells.
Yeah.
But I think we've got a big guest on tonight, so we've got to, like, really make it.
Bring the energy.
Emily, introduce yourself.
I'm Emily.
Yeah.
All right.
Bringing the energy back down.
Exactly.
I brought up too much.
For a podcast, yeah, it was a lot.
Yeah, that's going to turn people off.
I was just trying to be cool.
Maybe that's what they want.
I just trying to be cool, guys.
So, yeah, I'm joined here with two award-winning Irish comedians.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
That's nice.
Yeah, it is nice, isn't it?
which award is better oh um just to say james won the dublin next top comic award and emily you won the cherry
new comedy breakout act of the year yeah yeah yeah yeah i think you have a nicer trophy not to be
disparaging yeah yeah trophy was a lot cooler your trophy the glass very kind of modern yeah
yeah like did you ever get those trophies like no you know like when you did ride in school like if you
like top girl or whatever what are you talking about
did you never win top girl
it's making me feel bad what there was a top girl prize
yeah I got it what was that what do you have to do to get that
I just be a licker it's really like
we didn't have that in our school I'm not even joking like
we had like pre like you prefect and stuff like that
yeah this is like primary was it no no no secondary school
ours was real like they did award ceremonies every month
to kind of like boost our egos
oh it's like implies a month but for kids
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Cool, getting working harder.
It works out really well.
I'm a massively gone out.
Yeah.
You do well in school?
Yeah, yeah, I was really good in school, yeah.
Well, you're like, now, I've said this before,
like, you have a real vibe of someone who's much older than you actually are.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, you've, like, the vibe of someone like...
I was like that in school, I think, as well.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You've the vibe as something like you didn't have parents.
I know what you do, but someone who, like, survive under, like,
were the oldest of kids or...
Yeah, the oldest.
Okay, that makes sense.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You have that kind of, like...
I have parents, too.
some more independent like you know we didn't like a leach just sucking on to him like you could like
go on your own like yeah walk on my walk on my own get my top girl award on my own top girl fuck
do you get any awards here in school james no in my school if you did well it just uh wouldn't hit you
as hard well you're from different time like i'm from a different time that's right right
well like i think we're both me and emily are both like is it gen z that's what they call us now
yeah i think so or gen y it's gen y's gen y you're younger than a millennial is that are you yeah yeah i i'm just
to cut off. So you're a millennial and I think
Gen Y is like
94 or something like that is it? I'm not a joke. I think so. Yeah, I think
anybody like mid-90s honor is
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But Gen Y's children.
Yeah, yeah. You're like
your establishment. Yeah, I'm the old
millennial guy. Yeah, we can't
understand you kids. Yeah, yeah. I can't
afford a house because of you, James.
My excessive spending
during the Celtic Tiger. Yeah.
So Emily, you're a comedian
that seems to go well for you.
Well, no, you've won't have a fucking award.
Yeah.
Don't do that, like.
Yeah, you should be rubbing that ward in your face,
and not in your face.
I've already done that.
No, rub it in your face and rub it in someone else's face.
Yeah, smell that.
That's my, that's my face.
The smell of success.
No, you should, like, walk around.
Like, you know, rappers, they brag all the time.
Like, I put it in my bio.
Yeah, that's...
And that was probably about...
Get fucking carrots printed.
Carats.
Business cards.
Nice to meet.
They've got actives a year.
Didn't walk away.
So you've been doing comedy for a while.
You've been, how many months in?
So I started about a year ago now.
And you've shot up, a bit like, you're a bit like a young, Billy Irish.
Oh, that's nice.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I kind of like young, shot up real quick.
Yeah, she's younger than me, and I think she is a bit more successful, but that's nice.
Well, time will tell.
Let's see who, you know, who's going to OD and who's going to do well.
She's going to OD.
Fingers crossed, no.
But she's great.
Yeah, I don't even know who you're talking about.
That's how old I am.
12 she's 12 oh really
I don't think she's 12
12 in the exaggeration she's like
start off 16 she's like 17 now
okay what does she do
she's only just age of age
recently is she a comedian
oh no you fucking idiot
maybe not intentionally
millennial over here
I know yeah she's kind of like
what I say gothic
yeah she's like she's the new
kind of punk
she's like real moody
and all of her songs
don't really have any melody
but they you know
they mean something
stuff that like we can
relate to like you know mental health issues yeah thankfully i don't have any of that it's all smooth sailing
for millennial yeah you just call her it's working at it she has like blue hair oh really
yeah yeah time is passing you're like you're that prisoner got out with shawshan
i just yeah i'm just gonna hang myself and power of my name of the shame's here yeah
no one cares uh so you've been doing comedy and you're also a podcaster in the post
Yeah, yeah.
Post-formist fight back us.
Yeah, yeah.
That's kind of like Ali, who's on this as well.
She, yeah, what do you call it?
That's kind of her baby.
You?
And then I just kind of, I'm on it sometimes with her.
Oh, you're not parent?
No, no.
Oh, just.
Me and Pedro are kind of interchangeable.
I can't tell a difference.
We're practically the same thing.
Yeah, yeah.
Now we need to get the whole, there's four, like, kind of regulars.
On the podcast.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, well, just Ali, me and Pedro.
Did you think the fourth was?
Yeah.
I talked to someone else.
We've been Martin on tomorrow.
Angolo.
Oh my God.
We were talking about him in the podcast recently.
Yeah, talking about his, what is it?
What did you accuse him?
I just accused him with like punching a Dan syndrome person.
He did not.
No, he did not.
Well, no, we're just talking.
He did not.
It was very smart, actually, because we're talking about, like, this guy got done for sending
debt threats in, like, I think, Arama or something like that.
We were talking about, like, how it's hard to.
tell what's a funny fake debt threat and what's a real one you know so like i know marron so i can
have a little like he's a little like it's a little dead threat and it again it's like a banter
you know it's casual yeah banter like if i send him a bullet in the mail it's a bit of crack yeah
yeah but like it depends like but that's why you're talking with that so you're gonna have him
yeah he's on well mention the show to him yeah yeah yeah explain explain my opinions i'd just be
like i heard brian o'till send you new death threats and he'd be like yeah and then he'll just
probably kill us god he's great
Kill your careers
He's great
And he's mad young as well
Yeah
Yeah he's doing that
He's not even
He's not even though 30 I think
Is he?
Yeah yeah
And he's just shooting up
Like he just seems a lot older
Like kind of
The way he carries himself
He's very like mature
Well it is the suits
But even suits
That's why I think
To mean her is very sort of
Like a cool detachment
For everything
You know
Do you ever think about more
About like the character
You sell on stage
Where like what you dress
And like stuff like that
Sometimes I think I'm trying to think
about it a bit more
now because I don't know if I have one so I was like is that a good thing that I don't have
and is it a bad thing because I used to think like it doesn't really matter but I know a lot of
comics who will even like if it doesn't even look like they talk about it yeah just the fact
they wear like huddies a lot or like think that's just like that's their thing that's the way
they're like I think my character yeah I don't say it like that but like I think just it looks
better if I'm like that I think I definitely dress for the stage I think I definitely wear different
efforts than I do my day today yeah like I wouldn't go on around this I don't really know
why it's just like again it's kind of like you're ready
it's like a job interview 100% yeah
yeah yeah and I had a joke by cardigans for a while
so like I always had to be running a cardigan
it was really stressful I ran out of my life
oh my god good thing that bit didn't like become
huge yeah it was just say hey
cardigan girl
hey it wasn't even a good joke
I think I just felt like important like putting on my
cardigan right before I went on stage
and everyone would be like why you should put on a cardigan
it's so weird well like yeah some of them
like a more stoner comic if
he was wearing a suit it would like be a bit more yeah yeah yeah it wouldn't really do you think
about that ever do you guys think about that i don't that's why i think that's why i think i've come up
like i've stated me sometimes again i have no respect for the audience whatsoever like just
i think so that like if you if you trick i think it's all about tricking the audience oh yeah
it's a bad way life's about tricking people in general life's about manipulation i think no it's
not at all but i think like if you go on look on a certain way they're like expecting something
yeah that's true but then you kind of have to also
think about but what is my material does my material match up with the visual representation like
because the first like you get on stage the audience will just make their mind up oh they make the mind
up even even then your material kind of has to match that to like really like sell yourself
a lot of times their mind is made up before you even like talk before you even talk but do you think it's
better to even like because of the whole like element of surprise and do you think it's even better
like I found it works better for me if I go looking like young and like just like a year
I'm looking young
But what's kind of looking
I'm actually 45
But if I look young
And then I just come out with this really
With like a different material
Like what they're not expecting
Yeah yeah
It's a good kind of like catches them by surprise
Yeah
Yeah that's true
Again it's not really something I've really thought about too much
You should really
I'm not joking now
Go really like hard punk kind of biker kind of look
Oh no I'm not joking like
I just walk up like the same
sons of
anarchy
is like
proper
shish head
not full neonatze
it's like
just look a bit
a little bit more
like intimidating
because your stuff
is dark
anyway
I would
if I could
grow a proper
beard I would
but it just
kind of
it never really
grows past
this
I should wear
you know to
kind of sleeve
fingers
gloves
I love them
with spikes
on the knell
yeah
yeah
it's really
go on full
like numchucks
and like
drive your
motorbike
up to the same
okay yeah
This had come out like the guy from Judas Priest, just on a motorbike.
Proper.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, thank you, Brian, for that advice.
I'll take it on board and we'll see.
I see what do you think I should dress like?
My stuff.
I don't even know my stuff's kind of silly, but dark starts off silly and then turns dark, I think.
I think it works, though.
Yeah.
I think the way you go on suits and material.
I think, yeah, my stuff, the more unprepared and just like, uh, looks like I made no effort at all.
Although it's even funnier.
It looks like I've tried to make an effort and it hasn't worked since.
Yeah, yeah. Oh, no, he thinks that's fashionable.
Oh, he tried.
You have a few jokes about, like, your appearance and stuff like that.
Yeah, yeah.
Do you ever, like...
I'm like, I, like, purposely, like,
I could be way more handsome for tried.
Is there anybody you think that, like, does that really well,
like, dresses for the stage, really well?
And goal will be the number one, I think.
Yeah.
Well, I think, Daniel O'Brien, he dresses, like, really nice as well.
Like, he's wearing, like...
But do you think there's anybody that, like, matches their persona really well on purpose?
I can only think of things that...
I'm going to say,
bad things so we'll move on
let's see what else we talk
so a big thing I was say to James before you got here
was you've a good stage presence as well
and that's probably you're in a band before it is
yeah yeah well I was a bass player
for a while and a keyboard player before that
that can really help yeah I'm very like
I don't really get nervous so on on stage as such
more about having the jokes
yeah well I know James as well you were in a band
I was yeah that's probably why you two have won awards
it might happen.
Just want to ban it out.
Yeah, do it.
Oh, I do.
I actually have an idea, and I'm not joking.
You know John Merrick, the elephant man?
I didn't know that was his name.
Oh, yeah, yeah, it's the elephant man, okay?
So he's like the mish-shaped and head.
Yeah.
And your old black eyed peas had that album, Elefunk.
Yes.
Okay, so I was thinking, like, it's the Elefunk man, all right?
And it's me and like two other guys.
I'm putting this out there now to anyone listening.
I want two guys to wear...
Anybody disfavored?
No.
well we'll get honest on the second actually
well it's going to be hard to find people
in this day age elephant men
are hard to find so it's like maybe
we're going to wait and he wore like a bag
so we can't go paper machet is like
that's too offensive
but like to make it's just a bag
over our heads like and then we just do the songs
is that to regret it's no
no
because I say it's not
well like I know it's the big thing
because they're doing the remake of the elephant man
for the BBC and they've cast
you know the kind of um the junk
looking kid on stranger things
the older brother
who's like a bit weird looking
creepy guy
yeah yeah well he's not
as a creepy guy myself
like he doesn't mean to get
well I think he still is
yeah okay well they got him to play
the elephant mat
all right
but they're saying they're saying like
that is this day and age
you should get
an actual disfigured person
yeah I was going to say
but it's a hard
I was trying to think
correct there
but you should actually get someone
who has that kind of heads
but that's hard to find
I was going to say
what if that's going to say
not really bad but would it be hard to match
the shape? That's what I mean like
yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not like you're just portraying a
disabled person. You're portraying the elephant man
who was like the one and only.
You're not going to offend other elephant men.
Yeah, yeah. So I think they should
but at some people, obviously people just kind of get
offended just for the crack, like, but
I'm pro, that's going to be my band
anyway. Yeah, yeah, the
elephant, the elephunk man.
The elephunk man. I mean, say like, you know, let's get
it started in here and all
that kind of stuff. I like that. Yeah. Where's the love? You do she covers but like with word elephant thrown in really. No, no. We actually wouldn't address it at all. Oh, right. Yeah, so we're like that. But we're just doing the songs and it's like we're just trying your best. I think that might help. What was the name of your band? Was it? A couple of weird names. I know. I love hearing the band names. Tell me. I can't even remember what they were called. They're all. My friends tell me it's always like bad puns. Ours is never like that. Like we'd fever for a while. That's good.
Oh no, that's not good
When you're, well
It was all like 17 year old
Was it fever pH or F?
F fever PH
Yeah, that's how I do it
Yeah
That would have been better
Yeah
I'm what you got
I didn't last long in bands
At all
I'm not great in them
Even though like
You can't really play the bass
On your own
Yeah
It's very sad instrument
To play by yourself
True
Very true
You could give it
Yeah
And like pretend
Is the people there
Yeah
Have you brought
You bring it up on stage now
Which
And he does instruments
Base
Or people are
I haven't brought him up, no.
Do it.
If you want, I'm not, I'm not telling you.
I feel like to bait, but Matthew Tallinn had a good bass bit for a while.
Yeah.
I feel like I, it's been done.
Okay.
I suppose.
And David O'Darty has a little bit bigger in Tallinn.
You know, that the two greats of Irish talent are like, oh shit, this is you kid.
It's hard on my trail.
Yeah, yeah.
Like, what was it?
Deval Doherty is Herod and Talon is Jesus.
he has to kill
Matty talent is Jesus
Anyone with glasses
They kill just in case
One of them is the chosen children
Yeah
I think though like with musical comedy
It's just evolved so much
Like if you're not doing something
Really kind of incredible
It's kind of just comes off a bit shy
Yeah
Hackey do you know what I mean
Because people now
They've grown up with like Lonely Island
Yeah
One set
All these like the top of the top
Yeah exactly
So when they see something that isn't
Like it's just like
I kind of tune out
When it's musical comedy
which sounds really bad but like if I see a fellow with a guitar I'm like okay and I just kind of let
let them strum away and I think it's a good way of kind of hiding the fact that you're not getting
yeah exactly that's really offensive to all of well it's only offensive to the ones that don't
get that yeah like the ones that are really clever sounds and stuff like that yeah but like sometimes
I'm like I just don't get it like but a lot of times it's like for a parody song you get the
parody after the first minute.
Yeah, and then they keep singing.
They do the full song.
I just think in there, like, say like, off top my head, all right.
Okay, seven nation, I have big boobs.
It's like something like that.
Yeah, and it's got a good one.
No, no, I'll tell you what.
Take some Viagagagra.
It's like that kind of level of like, a seven nation army couldn't stop me from taking
Viagra now.
I think there's a new bit, right?
Yeah, but like, but then, but you've got it.
Yeah.
But he's still going to do the whole song.
Yeah, I think, yeah.
Like, there's a comedian, I'm not going to mention the name, but like, he started using a guitar.
And I just, like, went up to him and I was like, you don't need that.
Yeah, it's a crutch.
I was like, I was like, no.
So you don't need that.
But, like, I don't know.
Some of them can be quite good.
Like, I do love David or Dardy, and I think his song's really good.
But he doesn't do that.
Like, he just talks through the sounds.
Yeah, yeah.
He doesn't have a verse and course.
Oh, wait, wait, no, I got better.
Take a look at my sandwich.
You're still trying to crowd.
Take a look at my sandwich.
It's got ham in it.
No, like take a look at my boyfriend.
Oh, very good.
Okay, I won't do it then.
I used to do a bit about the bass,
but I just kind of mimed the bass.
Yeah, yeah, it's not that bit.
People get it.
Yeah, people are.
There was no one going like,
what's he talking about?
We need visual hands.
No, no, be that God.
Oh, that's cool.
So you've been doing it in.
Dublin and we're having a little conversation beforehand and you can don't talk about it but like
you're kind of I'll say it I have complete disdain for people out in the country when I'm doing
like I'm doing stand up like a lot of them are just absolute gist what's it bog munchers
just like bog munchers yeah just like just look at this cold dead eyes like but it is harder
it's like they just have different sense of humour like yeah when you go down the country
yeah it's like doing comedy outside of Dublin it's like you're kind of spoil from Dublin because
they'll get like your Transformers references
they'll get any reference from Netflix
they'll get any kind of trendy
net like trendy
um what's the word reference
but like when you go down in the country
you have to be like so
Daniel O'Donnell
yeah yeah yeah
in the country you can still
harbor really ignorant views
openly you know what I mean
you can be like racist or homophobic
and like totally get away with it
like mom
I don't know I joke
I was talking my uncle not too long ago
and he was telling me like
he was saying like
these Muslims
they should put them in a box
and put them in the sea
yeah
oh my God
like that
but that's just like
he'll say that
at least in Dublin
to look around
before they say it like
or they leave it for a taxi
but like
in there they'll say out loud
in like
in the players
of the faithful
that is great
yeah
that's great
yeah amen
I think like they watch
call it
they
that's why like
those real old fashioned
fun of comedians
do a lot better
to the country
yeah
I don't think
personally do
identity
country
but it's just
something I need
to work on
that's because
no
it's because no
no
don't
don't work on that
that's not a
skill you want
to see me next
you can be like
so I have
motives
eh
oh
Matt Emily
I mean
so just
pointed
if you went
down the wrong
road
and just
you know
you're mammy
oh
yeah
like that
like real
I am doing a joke
about that
now like
about my
mom
and a to
about my mom
and a tobleuron from
the airport
and stuff
like
yeah but they be
like
what's an airport
yeah
Tobleron
sons are then ethnic to me.
And, like, is that too me?
Like, you know what I mean?
Like, is that too, is that too country then?
I don't think so, no, no, no.
It also depends on how you do it and, like, you're not just...
She's also from Fingless, so it shouldn't be too country.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know what I mean?
Well, Fingless is not country at all, like...
No, no.
I'm from Carole.
It shouldn't be in the country.
I'm from Carlo, so I know what the truth is like...
It's just, it's just tough, you just don't know what they're...
That gig, I was just telling Bride before, like, I did a gig in Tipperary or whatever.
Yeah.
And they're actually grand, but it was all my boyfriend's family and friends.
And I'd never met any of them before.
Jesus, that is rough.
Yeah, and I didn't even make them before.
It's like an audition.
Yeah.
Let's see if she's funny enough to be with our son.
I was ranting about my mother on the stage, looking dead in his mother's eyes.
Oh, my God.
And she was just kind of like.
Well, that's kind of like how it used to be.
So, like, you had to perform for the family to get their acceptance.
And that's why I used to be back in Jane Eyre times.
They definitely wouldn't have exception to that, I don't think.
Well, not.
It would have been like too bitter.
Yeah, yeah.
No, no.
Any kind of like, you showed any kind of emotion.
It was like, she's a witch.
If she stopped, if she stopped smiling for two seconds, yeah, proper, she's a witch.
No, back then I'd be like, no, she had to like bring in the daughters and like did have like all the like sisters and like the duke would look at them and do off like playing instruments.
And they were played the nicest song.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
Well, that's, I think I'm exaggerating a bit.
But like that, it was like that kind of level.
So that's kind of like what you didn't.
Pretty much.
Yeah.
only my two sisters were not there.
Yeah, yeah, so they were battling for, they were battling for, for anything.
They were at home.
Well, you got two sisters.
Two sisters.
What did they do?
Well, they're in school, one's 17 and once 11, I think.
Jesus Christ.
Yeah.
10.
So you, to them, are you like the cool older sister that went that made it?
They could care less.
They could actually care less.
Like my younger sister, she's 11, like I said, but she just doesn't go to fuck.
I come home
I haven't not been there
for like two weeks
and she's like
you're all right yeah
just sitting on the couch
like playing her playstation
she's like what's crap
yeah
do they have any
what do they want to do
or do they really know
like teachers
and the other one
I don't know
I don't know
what she'll do
probably play the PlayStation
forever or something
but um
it's almost more noble
like we are kind of like
we want to go off
and kind of just
be centre of attention
for us for lives
yeah yeah
and she wants to teach people
and help people
I think I've done them both a favour because anything they'll do will look better than what I did.
Because, like, I've dropped out of college now.
You dropped out of college?
Yeah, yeah.
Same.
Oh, not, did you?
I dropped out of college like three times over the years.
Did you?
Yeah, yeah.
Are you not in college like now?
I am, yeah, but it's after three times of dropping out.
Very good.
So you have to find out what were you studying.
You made the right choice.
That's what, like, I'm not going to solve Brexit.
You know what I mean.
Oh, that attitude.
Come on, now.
You're an award when you're a comedian, you know, whatever you want.
That's not for a joke.
I was believing the patriarchy.
That's what that is.
Literally everyone in the UK was really hoping.
Come on, Emily.
Theresa May called me and I'm like, come on.
You've got to help me out.
You've got to help me out.
Ashmore.
Come on, wait.
Oh yeah.
So you did politics for how long?
Just like...
A year.
A year.
Yeah, but a year and a half.
Was there anything redeemable about that year of your life?
I think, well, I started comedy then.
Yeah.
Because of that.
Because they had a...
they had a comedy society that I thought was really cool and I had very little
what college was again UCD UCD yeah very little other things to do I didn't get in
it's shite and it's so far like it's just so yeah it's not in the centre is enough no it's
bullshit like you have to I had to travel four hours every day like two hours there and two
hours back Jesus to do politics politics yeah oh yeah yeah I used to have a bit of chip my
shoulder about that fact I didn't get any of Dublin colleges it got them dark oh yeah but I think
I think I've made the better choice
Like it's almost better to go
It's nice
It is yeah
It's almost better to go somewhere
It's absolutely not
No it's not
You gotta say it
We're recording this thing
Well this is like
You know
An RT definitely someone
From both sides
The argument
So the dog's nice
You know it's not
I don't want
I don't want all of Dunnop
to come out actually
I'll say it's on that
They won't
Well actually it's kind of kicking off
now again
They're better things
To be doing do they
Well like
They're very close to the border
A lot of paramilitary
That journalist got killed
Actually yeah
Yeah yeah
Her name is
She from Dundow
No, I think she was...
From, like, Derry or somewhere?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, she was not shot in the dairy, yeah.
Very sad.
Laira McKee was her name.
And, you know, obviously, it's kind of cool, like, no matter...
Wait, no, no, no, no, no, I think it's cool that, like,
um, both sides of the spectrum, uh, like the, the north and the south, um, no, what, um...
Are you going to blame the troubles on autism?
Shut up, shut up, shut up, sure.
I was the north and state the spectrum.
No, no, a political spectrum.
It's a political spectrum, okay.
Like, they had Mary Lou McDonald's and not Aretha Franklin.
Arlene Foster.
Arlene Foster, yeah.
They both had a joint statement going like, you know, that's bad.
Not on.
Yeah, that's, like, shouldn't, people, journalists shouldn't get in shot like.
Like, she wasn't, like, she wasn't, like, she wasn't doing anything, like.
At least they can agree on that.
Yeah, yeah.
But, yeah.
And also, what the only kind of.
kind of like kind of mildly humorous thing about it was jerry adams no no because no no bear with me jerry adams
tweet the thing going like okay sorry with the sad loss of um lyra mckee this is very bad and his next
tweet was i agree jerry so obviously like someone in his like a PR team fucked up there
you're like tweet from the wrong account yeah yeah yeah well it looked for me like jerry just
went full skits-o like
Like in split, like...
I agree, Jerry, that's guys.
So he has, like, bought accounts that he just uses too good.
Well, obviously, I think people that big, and you'll know about this soon enough,
people get so big, they can't be on their own social media, because it's too much, okay?
So they have to have a few people on it.
So obviously someone...
Yeah, someone probably tweet from wrong account.
Are you worried about that, fame?
I'm worried about fame.
Yeah.
I don't think I'll ever get any, so I don't hear.
Oh, no, sure.
I'd like to be famous enough for someone to manage my Instagram.
or to take Instagram pictures of me
would be really nice
That would be good, yeah
I'd love that
Just like, you know, real candids
Like
That's great
You know, there's like,
wasn't like just nine photographers
Just following lady gag around all the time
Yeah, I'd love that
Like, or I'd love like,
You know, like, you know,
the people that the Kardashian pay
To like follow them around
And that's like their paparazzi
I love that like
Just walking out of like
You know
And they always up really shocked
Like,
Yeah, yeah
What are you guys doing here?
Just walk out of every door with purpose
Like not shaking the head
That's the right world
It's me
I didn't even see you there. Sorry.
Well, that's not... I love that.
That's not too unbelievable.
Like, I'd say, like...
Because you're so young as well, like...
Times on your side.
Yeah, yeah, times on your side.
And as long as just keep going out and don't let the bitterness...
Erode you from the inside of it,
which is what...
And you end up doing a podcast called Brian James, fuck each other.
Like, yeah, you still...
I just don't do that. Edit out all the bitchy things you say about other comedians.
Oh, that's going to get us in trouble.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't even care.
they all they like all the comedians know like when we say someone's a cunt we're just having the crack yeah yeah that's why like you could never do a podcast with like comedians in a car going anywhere oh man because everyone would be destroyed yeah yeah everyone would be cancelled straight away yeah yeah yeah you just be oh god some of the stuff you would never say outside of the car no but i think it's almost like sometimes if you're in the heat the moment and like it's almost fun to say like something a bit yeah a bit in your head naughty or something like it's something like
kind of wind you up a bit is that?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
They are a court.
Yeah, yeah, you kind of get caught up
and heat the moment, like.
Yeah.
So that's what the whole, like,
but it's not just comedians like that.
No, it really was like.
It's like, that's, in a small scale it's happened in a car.
They were all just in a car.
Four Nazis in a car.
No, I'm just saying like...
Four Nazis in a car.
Doing a set tonight.
If you're in a car, okay,
and there's like one picture at MC that we all know,
who's like, go...
That's not that one, actually.
He's got a beard.
But if it's like, you know, it's going like real like,
this guy's a cunt, this guy's a cunt,
eventually it will kind of go into your own head.
Like, yeah, they are all cunts, yeah.
I know, yeah.
And that's kind of large scale.
Hitler was saying like,
these are cunts, these are cunts.
And eventually the Germans are like...
I think they should have used that excuse
in the Nuremberg-trots
and they probably would have...
Do you ever watch much stuff from Nuremberg trials?
Absolutely not.
Okay, well, you're better off.
I did what I needed to learn in school.
Yeah.
Oh, I watched it.
There's a great movie about it with Alec Baldwin.
Love him
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, it's good
He's good now
He's got a real anger
Problem, but like he
Best episode of Friends
Ever
What was he in Friends?
He was like
Dating Phoebe for a while
In that episode
And he was just like
Really positive about everything
Yeah
Do you remember that
And he was like
I can't even remember
Like he was like
I just love life
Really obnoxious
But I'm very funny
God friends
It's so easy
Just watch
Like
Yeah I've seen it all
Like six times
And I couldn't tell
Well now it's like
The most popular thing
Yeah
It's not something you're like
It's not a novel
where you like let it sink in and like you think about the teams like you know you're
you don't write an essay about every episode yeah it's just like it just happens and you're like oh
it's nice kind of good it's like candy floss you know deep down you should be watching like
foreign films or like you know documentary yeah documentary about like you know like a
Bolivian cricket or something like that like I don't know what yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah that's example I haven't seen that I keep going to watch it and
then I'm like not in the mood
Oh, so isn't it all about, like, basically, day that ever going, like, the world's fucked?
Yep, yep.
My friend watched it, and she was like, I'm never using plastic again.
And I was like, good luck with that.
Yeah.
It's kind of like, it's too late now.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Just embrace oblivion here at Tom.
All right.
I don't know, like, as long as it doesn't happen in the next 40 years.
In your lifetime, basically.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Let my kids get fucked.
Yeah.
Well, I think, surprisingly.
Don't have kids.
That'll help.
Well, the drug use is up on the rise.
use of cocaine and
coding and stuff like that has like risen
like exponential
I was going to say
like a number
it's risen
I mean we're going to make one up
it's risen like 900%
like it's gone huge
that's how the news works
is that newsre going like
that's a good
what's a scary
900 no
a billion percent
I believe it about the codeine
people are caught out
oh yeah
some people in this room are
I just
I am
I've been packing soft eating in my bag right
do you
yeah yeah
oh man I'm all this
of the sulfidine, neurophanclose,
holding,
this is a colding,
I hate you in the privacy,
like, not in,
I don't hate you in my chicken,
oh, just,
because I'm like,
I'm the guy who comes in,
yeah,
oh, my sciatica
has been acting up there.
It's for my wife.
Yeah, yeah.
I go courting shopping.
You don't hit the same pharmacy
in the same week.
Yeah, you got to spread it out.
That's why I love living in Dublin.
They're everywhere in my time.
I'm too embarrassed to buy it in my own pharmacy.
Yeah, but why don't you just steal it?
If you buy, as long as you're not doing like James, like buying every fucking day.
No, like, I don't know.
I'm not addicted to Cody, ma'am.
I swear.
Yeah.
I like.
Don't say that when you're doing the show for you.
I just need it sometimes.
Do you do it much?
Do I do it much?
It's not fucking easy.
Yeah.
Okay, I don't.
You know what's funny?
I've never done Cody.
Do you want to do now?
I would.
Yeah, I was doing poppers last time.
Fuck off.
Yeah, last gig me, James did.
I was doing the other poppers.
Yeah.
That's right.
I did one, one.
and I was like this is like
one bottle or one sniff?
No one sniff
Okay right
Just gives you a headache after one
Another comedian
You probably well guess who it is as well
And he just had one
And I was like
Giz Goda
And I was like this is awful
Gizigoda
She's gone and you're popular
I'm just legal
Yeah yeah
You mix up you sniff some
Cody and drink
Oh
One guy
I'm not
I'm hard of course
The whole world is addicted to Cody
it's so good um what can i tell you has a song about it who posier oh does it
oh no that one um is that new his new album codeine scene no oh i don't know oh i need to look
up dangerous woman on the coding scene or something oh i looked it up on the drive back i'll
listen to it yes actually speaking of drugs my friend just got into drugs recently that's nice
like she was real you know straight edge you know like you know i ain't doing that shit yeah i i i
the only thing i need is like vegetables you know yeah yeah yeah i just go to gym that's the
The endorphins from the gym is how I get my height
That kind of girl out
But she went to Berlin there
And now she's mad on the ecstasy and all that
Really?
And it's kind of fun
Because it's like, I was saying James earlier
You only way parents will have kids
And they'll watch old TV shows with their kids
Yeah
And it's like they're getting
They're getting a buzz again
From seeing it from a fresh perspective
That's like you and her
It's kind of like that with drugs like
So she's having the drugs first time
She's like oh these are pretty good
And I'm like, hey, you're right, they are pretty good
drugs are like bugs bunny cartoons i'd be too cynical anything more cool yeah yeah i don't know i don't really
have the money to be into drugs yeah it's a rich man's game yeah 100% yeah i'd like to be no i wouldn't
i wouldn't i haven't time i watched that movie last night layer cake did you ever see that oh yeah yeah
i never seen it very good shit ending though oh yeah it was shit i like that end yeah no i like down
yeah yeah i was ranting about it for a while i was like i'm so upset oh yeah yeah it's a lesson there
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, you're meant to be upset.
That's, that, you know what?
Spoiler for Learcake.
Yes, it came out of 2004.
I was five.
Yeah.
But what you call it?
Just watch it.
It's a baby Tom Hardy's in it and stuff.
Oh, God.
Yeah.
He used to be such a little baby.
In a good, like, you know what he's massive now?
Yeah, he has like three lines.
Yeah, he was really a model looking.
Yeah, yeah, real skinny.
But he, what you call it?
Yeah, in the end of Laircake, anyway.
First you think he's going to become like the leader of the drug.
The leader of their friends
And then they're friends who deal drugs
And then you're like, okay, it's not the life you wanted
But I'm happy for him
You know what I mean?
He's going to be the king and blah blah blah blah blah
And then he's like, no, I'm going to retire
And that's nice as well
Because you're like he's getting, what do you always wanted
His girl was waiting outside for him
He goes out and meets his girl out
They're walking off
And then fucking
Brat
He gets popped
He does
It's fucking pot
Yeah
But see that's crime doesn't
pay. There you go. That's like
the old... Was it sponsored by the fucking
Metschpon to repeat? It shouldn't be.
It shouldn't be. Yeah. Well, I see, that's the thing like,
if he got away with it in your head,
you'd be like, hey. Well, better start selling
ecstasy now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah,
that's fair. I just feel like
DJN, he's a good guy.
Well, also... I'm happy he went on to become James Rand.
That's nice. Oh, yeah, Craig himself
is like, he's a cool guy. I think he
I think he fucked Jude Law's
wife. Oh, that's awful.
She's good for her.
All right. I'm right.
And Daniel Craig.
Yeah, yeah, she's doing well for herself.
But, like, yeah, so he might be a bit of an old dirty dog, you know.
Oh, that's not nice at all.
I'm happy he got shot.
That's what playing James Bondel, dude, yeah.
You just sort of assume I can have sex with every woman.
Sure, in the movie, didn't he, didn't you have sex with that woman, the girlo?
And that was Sydney's wife.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
See, like.
That's what you got shot.
Bill.
Well, if you're that handsome, it's almost kind of hard.
not to break up marriages, you know?
It's hard not to break up a marriage.
Yeah, yeah.
If you're that handsome way, you just can't help it.
Breaking up marriages left, right and saying?
Yeah, yeah.
He's fucking, fucking Daniel Craig.
That's sad.
I wouldn't break up my marriage for Daniel Craig.
Oh, that's nice.
Well, look.
I don't have a marriage.
Love exists.
You've heard it here.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wow, I can't have many James the one saying, though.
James, like a positive one.
Hey, I was in love once.
You're listening?
you bit.
She took it all.
It just didn't work out.
Happens.
Hey, life.
Hey, look, in our hectic role.
Nice penguins on the telly there.
Screen saver, yeah.
Yeah, that's to keep the guests entertaining, right?
When it gets to a bit too dark.
Oh, penguin.
They make for life.
I'm sorry.
You know the other way of those pastoral?
Embrace it.
Own it, Embrace it.
A lot of pastors in America actually use penguins as a...
metaphor for love.
For gay marriage.
It's like, there's no gay penguins.
That's why they shouldn't gay marriage.
That's the way you...
Then people are like, there is gay penguins.
I'm sure there's gay penguins.
They're penguins like him.
They're just scared to say it.
I'm going to bring a penguin to the George.
They're all going to die anyway, so it doesn't matter.
Global warming.
Some people say Game of Thrones is the metaphor for global warming.
I don't think global drone is a metaphor for anything.
Well, deep down...
I know I love it, but I don't think it has any underlying message.
Deep down to the guy, you know,
other than like totally like if you want to fuck your auntie go for it well finally yeah well like
deep down it's just a guy with a fat guy with a sailor's hat who writes about incest and dragons
yeah yeah but it's very good i absolutely love it absolutely love it did you ever have do you
have any many phases when you were growing up i have literally been this personality since i was
best seven same and that kind of annoys me now it's like i wish i had some kind of like got
phase or something that was interesting i wish i was sporty for a time
or something like that.
But I literally have just been
kind of like, I've been just old
since I was like seven.
It's, it's going bad.
You went to like a punk phase,
James, stuff like that.
Yeah, well, I was in a punk band
like, and kind of had the green hair
and the piercings and the wadnot, but...
You had that.
Well, people need that to look back in the past.
Like, oh, look to stay in me back then.
Yeah.
Whereas me and Emily would probably just reading books.
A hundred.
A hundred percent.
Just studying for Leam Serb like a marriage.
I used to fucking read a book like anywhere I went.
I would just be like in the car reading a book.
It's disgusting.
It's a doctor's, fucking surgery.
reading book always reading book and now i'm like instagram you know what i mean yeah just to go back
to like and so you're doing politics in ucd that's when you started comedy yeah so you know
did you had you wanted to do comedy for a long time before that or yeah like i loved i loved comedy
oh like my daddy such a lot of comedy grown up and stuff like that yeah i always really liked
it and then i got really into it um around like the leave and sir kind of thing and then when i joined
college but like you never think like oh i could do that yeah yeah and then when i joined college
i joined the comedy society and there was like two lats that were like my age doing comedy
what in the comedy society what was the crack with that like was just you guys doing shows a start
yeah so like i was way too nervous to do it for the first year so i didn't have anything to do with
comedy side for the first year um and they were just yeah they were just kind of getting comedians
and stuff like that and running for the students yeah but like there's something about students in comedy
like they're just not interested
they're really not interested
and like I didn't realize that
I was like I'm coding around to the buses
or both
so accurate
but what you call it
I yeah I was too scared to do
for like the whole year
then I started doing like open mics
and stuff like that
but I'm trying to get a bit of confidence
to go back
and show those comedy society boys
what I was made of
yeah they both graduated
they both left
so I was left on my own anyway
and so I kind of took it over then
until I dropped out
so I ran it for three months
How do you find the more
kind of clerical side of the comedy scene?
Absolutely awful
It is a deal with comedians is a nightmare
Fucking demanding gigs
Well do you know what look
I'm the exact same and I do
Demand Gets not demand gigs
But I do text people for gigs and stuff like that
But when you're getting a text messages
Yeah
You're like let me live
You know what I mean
It's so true
Remember we ran a club in Dundalk
for a while and just the amount
of mentalers like not even like
they're not even comedians really
yeah you get a lot of them
people with no picture on Facebook
yeah
who are going like hey man I can only
headline on shoes and what you do this
so like how long are this lots
45 minutes and you're like can you fuck off
what are you talking about
but it's very it was very stressful
and all of UCD like the admin
hated comedy and hated
comedy society I don't know what
the people before me did like
but fuck me like they just did not want us to to host any kind of gigs yeah and then like people
were on my back for a spot or whatever and i was like you don't want to do it i was like trust me
you don't want to do this gig like i'd give you 10 minutes but like honestly well i actually
did a spot in ucd was when jim crystal was running oh i love jim yeah so but they had it down
like in the main student bar so it just it was a bar full of students all drinking and talking and
socialising while there is a comedy
gig happening. The comedians are literally
screaming into the microphone to get people's
attention. That's the thing. The bar staff wouldn't give you
any help. So there's a private room
upstairs, but they literally did not give you
priority. So if you had that book straight through
in advance and the fucking snooker
society came in yesterday, they'd give to the snooker
society. Yeah, yeah. Give everything more
respect in comedy. I tell you, I get no respect.
I did it. I had a student open mic. It was fucking
great. I got 13 students to do
comedy for the first time. Do five minutes. I
for the first time
and they fucking made me do it in the main bar
are you serious
and I was like you can't do to these people
like it's their first time ever doing comedy
like that's so mean
and he was like fuck it
the business society or upstairs
or something like that and I was like bullshit
they like just put me in a corner of the bar
literally just a corner of the bar with a mic
it's such box like I was trying to get
another club going in Dundalk
and this amount of people like they just have no idea
how it's meant to be like they don't understand
you can't do it right beside the door
yeah yeah that's it
because they're used to getting in a fellow
about a guitar to sit in the corner.
Yeah.
That's the difference.
Like,
you know what I mean?
And it's just not.
They're totally different world.
They can get the people probably should be facing the direction of the community.
I don't get that.
Like,
we were trying to settle up in one place and I was like, hey, can we do like Thursday nights?
And they're like, no, we have karaoke.
And it's like, do you have karaoke every single day a week?
Yes, we do.
Yes.
Every single day.
It's karaoke all the time.
That's so mean.
Yeah, yeah.
I was like, can we just, we could bring in a huge amount of students.
Oh, huge.
okay and like really like make this a good night and really help your business and you're like no I'd rather have the karaoke because they'll keep the same old five regulars happy oh my god they just didn't give us a chance like we had to do a fucking comedy night like in a lecture in a yeah I had a comedian at the top it was great
Kevin actually learning was on that night.
Yeah, he's coming over later on.
Yeah, yeah.
A little plug for next podcast.
And he was on, I can't remember who I had a headline and blah, blah, blah, blah.
But I had, like, all these comedians that I had to, you know, I felt worse for the comedians that I did.
Yeah, yeah.
So I was like, I'm sorry.
I know, but again, it is, like, just get, like, it is so disregarded as, like, an art form.
It totally is.
Yeah, like, and again, even with Brian is saying, like, there's a specific setting that's required to make comedy work.
It's got to be like kind of a smaller room, low lighting, and, you know, not a big, fucking massive lecture hall.
Did you ever have to cancel the show with comedians there?
Yeah, I had to cancel my last one.
That's awesome.
Because they double-bucked the room in UCD.
So I went up and I was like, yeah, comedy in this room.
Again, it was another lecture hall.
And they were like, no, that's, what was it, trampolining?
Oh, great, yeah.
That's trampolining.
And I was like, unreal.
I had to send everybody home his offer.
Jesus.
I can't.
Were you not on one of the...
You guys were both on one that I cancelled.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but we didn't show up, like that on...
No, no, you see.
Yeah, yeah, it wasn't that bad.
I got that one before.
Oh, that's the worst when you're...
But again, that was a double block again.
And then there was one time, oh my God.
Fucking idiots.
The one that Ruth Hunter headlined, and it was a fucking class line of as well.
Like, and we didn't have an audience.
So me and John O'Keefe went down to the barry and tried to, you know,
get to people up.
All you could get was this gang of, like, fucking 40-year-old paramedic students.
And there's like 15 in them.
And there were,
the biggest share of cunts
I've ever met my life
hammered after a pint
and they were all just like
shouting at each other
about each other's wives' tits
and stuff like that
grim. Blaheen DeBerca went
into the crowd then
when it was time for her set
She's battered everyone did she?
She very nearly did
like she went in when it was time
for her set and instead of doing
but she did her set
but then she kind of went up to them individually
and was like your mother didn't hug you enough
for the child
you know you're an embarrassment to yourself
and your family and stuff like that so
that was nice
and I'll teach him
uh yeah and when was she on these
the when was she on yeah yeah
what you like
just wonder if that's the first act
she was like she was fucking third
yeah well at that stage
like it's like
oh yeah those cunts like
yeah you kind of
things like that
and I had the two people on first
were real kind of
kind of you know
they just kind of were doing their set
or whatever
with knights like that
you just gotta be mean to the audience
like you can't be too like
hey guys
why don't you shut up all right
we're just trying to do a show here
just got like hey guys
you have to take control
get the fuck out.
Yeah.
And I couldn't take control.
I, like,
I'm seeing it's tough sometimes
because, like,
you can be responsible
for just them,
everybody else having a shit time,
do you know?
Yeah, true.
Yeah.
I was like,
guys,
like, can you please,
you know,
keep down a little,
yeah,
guys, please.
Yeah.
You can talk with I'm on,
but don't talk about it.
Yeah.
They're trying to reason with him.
That was it,
exactly,
yeah.
And I was like,
your jokes are really funny,
but if you tell them to each other
afterwards,
that'd be better.
You know what I mean.
But,
you know,
Grim, yeah, absolutely grim.
It's not worse than a comedy night you're emceeing
and you know for a fact the entire night's coming to shit
because of you.
Oh, 100%.
Yeah.
And I felt like that every single UCD gig.
It's like, oh, it's someone would even,
if someone that she's got up and like,
hey, here's the axe and just let him go.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because you got up and decided to try and do comedy
like a fucking spastic.
Oh, yeah.
You've ruined it for everyone.
My opening night was really good.
And then everything, every gig that I had after that
was absolutely dark shit.
open night is still kind of a novelty
100% yeah yeah
and I was fucking high-fiving people and stuff
and I was like I am the best
I'm the king of the world
the reality king
I probably would
I probably would like to
run my own gig or something like that
but you know if everything was kind of
yeah I was gonna ask so the future now
you're back in what college you know
I'm doing like yeah
DIT technically but like I'm doing it on site
in the pharmacy
okay we're so it's grand in Ashra
okay it's harder to do
Yeah, that's going to be a bit of a spanner in the works
100% yeah, but like...
Mead? What, what's...
Is there anything...
I think I've done a show on Mead. Not a good one now.
No, you wouldn't know.
Well, I did a show on, literally think the football was on as well, like...
Oh, great. They put me, like, beside the TV, the football's on, and I'm trying to stand up.
Yeah, and they're like, we can't...
That would be in a troll, yeah.
We cannot turn it off, okay, because they will throw a chair.
If there be any cat on or out and like that.
I don't even think they're really interested.
I think it's just something for them to talk to each other about, you know what I mean?
Well, definitely, like, when I did that show on Mead, it was like, the guy who ran it, he was interested in comedy.
No one else.
No one else, yeah.
You're doing it at them.
Like, Keith Fox and Martin Angola did one in Ashburn there the other weekend.
It was like a roaring success.
And I was like, okay.
Well, they've probably been there a few times and they were like, you know, got a bit of a little bit of a fan base.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's it.
And Keith's from Ashburners and stuff, you know, you can get people in that way.
Well, that doesn't count.
No, no, it totally does.
dothie.
But I'd never run run in Rott like where I'm from, ever.
Ratote?
Yeah.
I've been there.
You've probably driven through it on your way tomorrow.
No, no, I actually, oh, what's her name?
Her name?
I probably shouldn't say her name.
There was an older lady,
so I was like 18, and she was like 32 or
something like that, and she kind of like
got with me in nightclub once.
I was kind of like half passed out, and then she got with me.
No way.
And then she kept sending messages to go visit her.
Rato, so, yeah, when I was, like, 18.
And it was my man, no.
Maria.
Oh, my God.
That would be the best bombshell ever.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, yeah.
So, like, she had a kid, actually.
And the kid used to be, um, the dad would take it for the weekend and I go up and meet her.
Jesus.
That's grim.
Yeah.
I wondered why my dad was taking them about.
Even bigger bombshells.
It was your dad.
I broke up a marriage.
Yeah.
man I forgot about that
yeah
Jesus
How Daniel Craig
give you
To break up a marriage
Like that
Um
Yeah
What you're gonna do
Eh
It's a nice place
We're told
I only went there
In the dark
And I'm like
Drive away afterwards
In shame
Like a bat
Yeah
It is nice though
Yeah
The housing estate
It seemed nice
I didn't see anything
That's hilarious
I definitely know
That woman
Is that it's tiny
Tiny village
I'll show you a picture
afterwards, yeah. She, um...
I'll judge you accordingly. I think
she had a bit of pregnancy
scare or something like that. With you? With old Brian
here. And that kind of ruined
I did not take that well.
Rund the magic a little bit.
I did not, I did not handle
18 year old Brian did not...
Oh my God! It's proper like, no, you have to get rid of it.
You have to get rid of it. You have to get rid of it.
It's just like, you know.
Handen out 35 year... I don't know. I don't know
enough money. Go, go, go, go. I was proper
like, going like, what can we sell, like,
Turns out, thank God legalised it, because, like, back in, like, a boat and all that.
Like, when I was younger, I used to have, like, my emergency fund for just in case I got a girl pregnant.
It was only, like, 100 quid, like.
Was it specific to that?
Yeah, yeah.
I hate it in, like, a CD.
I think it might be an Elefunk CD.
Do you know, what would have been cheaper, Brian?
Condoms.
Well, no, like, not in the long run.
Yeah, that's fair.
Do the math.
That's right.
But, look, it's legal now.
Yeah.
Were you, like, could you even, like, could you even vote?
could and I did yeah
you couldn't vote
for gay marriage
though
no
no
Jesus
yeah
yeah
well we got a
yeah
yeah
you talked about
politics
huh
in your
politics
course
yeah we talked
about abortion
all the time
really
just a really
about abortion
yeah
yeah
it was the big
thing
yeah
it was kind of
I learned
nothing
I did some
I did some
like
fucking philosophers
and some
abortion
and then I was like
I'm out
I think
therefore I kill it
yeah
well like
just the idea
of like an
18 year old
anyone go into a politics course
absolutely not yeah
it's just like there's something
what happens to you but there's something like wrong with you
if you do that and you do the whole three years
and you're like hey this is great
if you love it and that's the thing like
because all these politicians they go straight in the politics
it's probably in the family as well
they go straight in the politics then they're a politician
and that's their whole life they have no idea like what
the real world that's the problem with them isn't it
is that they've no idea they've no sense
of reality yeah we just solve politics
right there's no one we don't need a
degree. There's no one Irish politics that people
like go like, that people can rally behind
like young people like young people like can go like
yeah this is the future feel the burn
I think Simon Harris is quite young
but he's also insane. Yeah yeah
no he's like a note like but like he's
like has the body of like a 92 year old
Yeah and the fate he just looks like he
like he has arthritis
Do you know what I mean? He's definitely just an evil
evil spirit incite him. A hundred percent yeah
He's such bad bad house as well
He does
Wow we're so like superficial in that
Leo Radgar's hair is shit
It is
Well you got out with that
You're going to be a chemist now
What else in the future
Then for Ashmore
So I think you're almost good in the way
Because you got success airing away
In terms of something to keep you going
Like the little war
Yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
And now you can go focus on your college course
Yeah
Which is the smart thing to do
Don't be like me
We're like you're trying to like
Do a media course
And drive to Galway every fucking week
Doing the case
I think I'm still gonna be like that
Because you just can't say no
like, can't you not?
Like, it's just a thing where you're just like, I have to.
You have to start saying, though, some stage.
Really?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's tough and after a while, like, get used to it.
But for a while you're kind of like, this could be my big shock.
I know.
This one giga turned down could be the one that changes everything.
You just, I just always think of it in a way, like kind of like,
law of attraction thing.
Like, if I say no to this and I'm not, like, no one's going to text me for weeks.
You know what I mean?
It's probably, or I mean, it's not probably.
It's definitely all in my head.
But I don't know.
It's all in your head.
I don't know.
I just, even if I don't have that many gigs, like, in a week, I start to get stressed and be like, that's all over for me now.
It's bad for you. It's been a good year.
Yeah.
What's the longest break you've taken since you started?
I haven't.
That's insane.
I haven't taken a break at all.
That's, that's kind of cool.
I think I did maybe a week, right?
Man, that's, oh man, I used to play.
But when a gig, like, they're not, in terms of, like, getting up on stage, I think maybe I've gone a week.
Yeah, that's insane.
I remember, like, back in the day, if I had, like, when I first started, like, for the first, like, year, if I got, like, like, like, four in a month.
I'd be like, wow, this is crazy
I'm living the life
There's just so many in Dublin now that you just can
Move over James Acaster
I love him
He's great, and again, he's like 36 or something
Yeah, he's really young, yeah
When you're 36, Jesus, he'll be dead
By your hand
Probably true, yeah
Won't be winning any Melbourne comedy awards or anything like that
Oh yeah, he won't that as well
great yeah
oh man
he's coming
with the reason
like I always
tell people this
but like he's definitely
the reason
that I
that I'm doing
that's one of your
big influences
yeah 100%
yeah
who else to be
him
him I love
David O'Darty as well
Dardy's great
I love Beth Stelling
she's an American
comedian
she's never heard of her
she's great
she's really really good
that's our official
recommendation
for this episode
what's her name
Beth Stelling
Stelling yeah
she's great
she's fantastic
she's like a 15
you know it's 15 minute
Netflix special
yeah
she's one of them
I'll see
Alison B got one of them
as well
Ashleyndy
Oh
Ashlingby
I'm so
Oh no
I keep fucking up names
I got
I didn't watch it
But I said
Lipita and the Engel
I call it
I call her something
It turns out it was racist
Yes
What is you saying
I don't
I don't want to repeat
I said her last name
is Noopty
But
just to say
Like I've realized
Now the error in my way
It's
Both saying
Ashling B
and
Ashling
How's her name?
Oh, Beth...
Alison.
Beth Selham?
No.
Lupita Niengo
is her real name
not
Lupita Nito
I call her
Lupi Noopi
but that's offensive
She's an Oscar
She's a fucking Oscar winning actress
She was in Black Panther as well
Yeah, really good
Yeah, all that great stuff
Like James didn't like it
I wonder why
You haven't seen it
Oh you haven't seen it
Oh I thought you
I'm not into Marvel, like, I don't...
No, it's not even a superhero movie, it's kind of like...
I'm not into it up, people are so into it.
Yeah, so into it, like, but, like, growing...
Like, people in their 40s are, like, obsessed with, like, it's like, it's for children, you do...
Yeah, and games going out, and, like, everyone knows...
For some reason, I'm going to a fucking midnight show in a man, I don't understand how, or why...
Yeah, you just get...
I'm going to be so tired.
Again, like, the Holocaust, just kind of get, like...
This is my Holocaust.
You know, you get a hell wiped up in the emotion of it, like...
Yeah, I don't know, I don't even, I don't even think there's...
No, I'm not going to say anything because people are going to start
Yeah, that's the thing you're going to start
To get it out to me like
Yeah, you'll lose everything
Talking me about to fucking
Dwayne takes your word away
Yeah, he'd be like never speak
But I'm like that again
I like them but they are kind of dumb
Like kind of popcornies
I like some more than others
Like I like black panther because actually like
From a historical sense
It's almost kind of like an important kind of film
Yeah, I know a girl who's seen
End game and she's bragging to me about it
Like I'm seeing a midnight show
Oh it's in Drottada like it's not like
Paul Woodville
you know what's funny because you're on chemistry now so like you've already had your kind of drop out phase
you're kind of like okay i think i'm on chemistry now i was 23 until i realized what was doing i probably will be
this probably won't be for me either do you know what i mean well i i hope it is yeah it's a kind of follow-back plan like
yeah well um i know i hope you fail uh well in the nicest way of possible hope you fail so then you have to focus
on the economy more i must talk to you after actually about how i how i get out of my feeds from the course i dropped out
Oh, I'll tell you all about that.
This is kind of a money man.
What you do is just fake your own death.
I've done it nine times already.
I thought that was going to have to make the answer, to be honest.
My parents thought, my parents think of dying dairy.
Oh, my God.
We're, um, wrap it up in a minute.
I just think there is there anything else we want?
Is there anything else I want to ask you?
We asked about most of the main things.
Is there anything you want to plug?
Your podcast, the Triple P podcast.
The Triple P podcast.
Post-performance points.
Yeah, I'm on it occasionally.
What's the sketch on that, like, it's like every, I say sketch, because I'm cool.
I don't know.
I think it's every second week.
And you have any, do you have any kind of, I'll tell you what, it would be good now?
Because you're going to be off in Mead a lot.
Or where is it?
In Ashmer.
You're going to be on, chemistry and pharmacy, pharmacy.
Yeah, but like, you're going to be doing that, all right.
You should start a podcast or something just to keep the crave juice.
That's a good idea.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, you try out pharmaceuticals on the podcast.
I love that.
Yeah, it'd be fun, like...
The Coding Queen.
Please get me on for the Coding episode.
That is the best.
Oh, my God.
That's the name of the podcast, by the way.
And we ask for a Coding Queen.
I'm going to Photoshop you just like, looking.
You and a little Wayne.
I'm not addicted.
I just came a migraine.
Drinking the Sizup.
Sizrup, yo.
Yes.
Oh, my God.
Coding Queen.
That's perfect.
We're going to end on that.
That's what I want to call my phrase Edinburgh show.
Oh my god
Have you got plans for them?
No, like, well, I applied.
I don't know if I'm going to get anything.
It seems like it's gone to shite this year.
Yeah, well, I applied as a split with Pascal.
You know Pascal?
Yeah, yeah.
And we just haven't knew that, so I don't think it's successful.
And I already put down a deposit on my Airbnb.
Oh, God.
And so I think I'll go over for the crack.
I'm so happy I'm not doing it this year.
I met you last year.
Do you remember?
I think it was fucked.
The last year were fucked.
Yeah, man.
Oh, man.
I, I.
And you were so funny.
Like, you were just absolutely, I don't know if you want me to say this.
I've heard worse.
Aiden Green told me a bomb was on my own hands.
I lost my glasses that year.
Remember, like, I ran after you at one point because you were just walking down the road.
Yeah.
And I was like, are you all right?
And you were like, yeah.
And I was like, do you know where you're going?
I was like, sure.
And you were like, sure.
You were like, look, Emily, I'll find it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I get like that a lot.
I was like, hey, look, I'm going on the mission here.
Yeah.
listen
listen baby
don't hold me back
and I was like
okay
yeah yeah
I probably
probably did wander
up like two hours
after that
punching walls
yeah
I totally just let you
I was like
no you're better off
like
like a bird
like a broken wing
just let it go
I think you need to have
a while
of going mental
let him burn
and then after a while
you're like
no this is like
I put so much money
into this
I really can't
I really can't
I really can't
be in coke all the time
sometimes
what are your
what are your plans
are you going back
I'm
to America this year I'm going to
Boston so I'm working on my racism
that's why I call her
that's why I got you Pete De Njango's name right
this whole podcast is just remember
they love that in Boston
they love that because you know what they're mad
racist over there this guy's wicked smart
he's getting the truck
yeah so I'm going to Boston
going to be a bar man I'm going to try to do gigs there
I fucking I don't know this in this I got
I'm a bit annoyed them because they told me did have
places for me because I'm going to work in the hotel
so I told me did staff accommodation
but then they just told me like
uh no we don't no we don't
oh you're messing yeah yeah got you
you just got punged
yeah yeah you was punged
uh yeah they just tricked me there
like anyway it could have got worse if they told me
and then I got there to drop the bucket of blood on my head
oh my gosh that's all
Carrie's son
yeah yeah so you're not going to end up
no not this year I'm so happy not doing it
because how did you show go back you
oh went off went well to start
and then weekends
weekends are great and during the week it's kind of rough
Wednesdays especially rough
and I was doing with
Porreig had to start
and he left for the final week
and I was on my own
and I had some good shows
some really bad shows
and one walk out
one proper like
12 people just walked out
great
with good reason
that's nice
like that's a story
you know what I think
it helped me in the long run
because you have to like
you have to eventually
I always tell people
when you're starting off
just hold the audience
in complete contempt
you know
don't try and make them laugh
that's what I say.
Just hold their attention.
Yeah,
it's like you can be too pleasing
when you start off with comedy
like two trying to make them laugh
and you kind of like
you know yourself,
you're all kind of scared
well you probably had the band
so you weren't but I was always like
I got to try to go
it's almost like I want to be my friends
I got like
and then after a while you're just like
ah fuck I'm doing my joke now
that's the better way to be like
you just have to say what you wrote
it's like faith in your materialism
yeah it's a bit of fate like
and eventually maybe someday
they'll win the wars
yeah
you will
No, I won a, I came third fries in the gardening competition.
That's great.
I think that's better than mine or James.
That'd be great for you to show together and you both had your awards on the table.
Like mine like turd face, which I definitely only got that from my mouth.
Like, Forrest Gump's, like, you know, Forrest Gump's mother.
Love that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What about you, James are you going to?
I'm not, no, I can't really afford it, to be honest.
Yes, it's like so expensive, like a whole month.
Yeah.
Well, that's kind of like they say the big thing is like, yeah, it's almost like they're getting
rid of any kind of middle class talent it's all it's all like people who've done oxford
you know yeah yeah yeah it's all oxford graduates and people like that so it's like you're
not getting like i'm kind of okay with it because i feel like maybe i wasn't ready like you know what i mean
to launch into an edinburgh definitely like especially like did you want to do like a full run
no i's gonna do two weeks yeah even two weeks it's fucking it's tough at the start like you just don't
know what you're doing i think like we were saying we'll go over anyway um yeah go over
go or tree like a little bit yeah it's like a sight scene thing just like see see see some
Max, because you see, you see some amazing weird shit.
We went for four days last year when I saw you, but like, we saw Phil Jupiterus.
The second we got off the plane, like, we literally went straight to Phil Jupiterus,
and then did not watch another fucking comedy show for the rest of the weekend.
We just got hammered and lost.
I just thinking we met each other, like, well, it was probably the third week you came over?
It was the last weekend, yeah, yeah.
Oh, it was last weekend, so I don't already had like three breakdown last day.
You were well into your fourth.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was like, you caught me.
caught me midfold right there like yeah yeah never again you were grand i was just like go home oh no
you didn't see me my worst oh man i believe like oh i remember like at one stage like i kept doing like um
what i taught were hilarious goodfellows impressions in a in a in a very populated pub in the middle
of the day and you gave me some life advice did i in in what was it in nightclub called so
no you were like some of me being young you're like life advice was it
you were like oh my god brian i didn't know how old you were like look ashmore
you're you're not given 12 yeah and you're already in edd of breath yeah so keep going
yeah and then i vomited i ran away i think you nearly passed it
and then the bouncer was like you have to leave and with good reason like i threw a chair a bouncer once
did you in Edinburgh no not in denbred back in dundal even worse
In Edinburgh, you can do it and leave.
Actually, funny, I threw a chair at Bouncer once,
and then later on I end up working that far.
That's awful.
And then I tried to hit the manager.
Oh, Brian, stop.
It's a demon drink now.
I need to get on that coating instead, but...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just chills you out, man.
Listen, here, kids, do codeine.

The sign of a good podcast is when you're not looking to the fucking time or a few minutes.
That's nice.
That's fine.
The guy actually had fun talking to you and like some people are a fucking struggle, you know.
Oh, really?
You know yourself.
Do you think it's because they're aware that they're being reported?
Yeah, some people are a little bit too worried about like how it's going to affect their career.
Where we just say it and then like we cut out.
We can assure you this will not in any way impact on your career.
Yeah.
Thank you so much.
