Starting point is 00:01:54 decaying of my liver. You know what's funny is... Don't dodge it! That's right! You know what's so funny is, like, so a professor he'd drink like single malt, okay? And read Tinnison. On the rocks. Yeah, yeah, and read Tinnison. You're drinking Pironi.
Starting point is 00:02:09 Peroni and they got me books about gangsters and murderers. Yeah, yeah, and reading about El Chapo, wherever. Pablo Escobar. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're reading about Pablo and the... What was fucking, um... What was De Niro's character in Irishman? Oh, Frank Shearing?

Starting point is 00:02:37 It's definitely like For where you are in life It's what you should be drinking For where I am in life Who the fuck are you to come in here And tell me where I am You piece of shit You fucking mong
Starting point is 00:02:50 Get out of my gaff Fucking pay bills in this gaff Fuck you Yeah, I'm just going to while out on you. Typical birthday. This is good, you should be drinking more often. But what I meant is, okay, is I wouldn't without drink Peroni because I'm not at that level yet.
Starting point is 00:03:05 Okay, right. I'm still at college. Do I have to drink like... Like Karpaki? Yeah, Karpaki and like Tesco vodka. Were you around... Remember there was a guy selling vodka around Dundalk? He made it himself?
Starting point is 00:03:17 He made his own vodka? Yeah, yeah. Oh. Where did he sell it in the college? Not in the college. He wasn't involved with the college. Imagine it was like
Starting point is 00:03:25 he's the dean Welcome to DKIT And here's some vodka I made in my bathtub Yeah There was like bits in it No one knew what the bits were Like gold
Starting point is 00:03:37 But instead of bits of gold It's like Dog hair Debris Yeah It's like a fingernail And like Yeah
Starting point is 00:03:45 Yeah just little bits and pieces And like What's this in my two And you pull it out And it's like Some wood shavings Or just a bit of bone is this a femur
Starting point is 00:03:56 it's like a prize remember when cereals just have prizes yeah yeah yeah just a random bit of metal that's full of rust but anyway yeah yeah he sat it around and like a few people drank it I had a tiny bit and I was like I think I might have to sit down for a while really yeah yeah yeah I wouldn't was it was it vodka or was it potching
Starting point is 00:04:15 no it was that's why I was thinking as well no it was vodka now let's be honest okay he said he made it yes let's be honest here yeah he could just have bought Tesco vodka and put it in a dirty bottle you would actually hope that's what he did I'd prefer
Starting point is 00:04:30 that to be honest. How else could you do it in Dundalk he's not actually going to do it himself with potatoes. Who knows? Maybe maybe. Well see it's probably not that much different from making potching like right? I do remember watching videos of them making
Starting point is 00:04:44 was it vodka? Probably in Russia like and it was just like you know it's time that's patience. Okay. The longer leave it eventually it will become somewhat drinkable. Right. But it could be like days, could be months.
Starting point is 00:04:59 Okay. It could be years. Yeah, I really don't know anything about the process of fermentation. It would be so funny, if I try to, I'm like,
Starting point is 00:05:07 I'm going to grow vodka. And I have like, I have like the whole set up for weed. I have a whole grow house set up with all the lights. Just on a potato. I'm like, any day now. Any day now,
Starting point is 00:05:18 yeah. Pow, bottle of vodka. Nice. Nice. Yeah. Yeah. So, um,
Starting point is 00:05:23 uh, been up to much in the last week? In the last week? No, uh, working. Just been at work and stuff. Uh, it's getting very busy now with the NBA and NHL are both back. No, NHL I don't watch, but NBA, I've been watching like crazy recently. Well, you've been watching illegal streams, right? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:41 And you've been showing me like, man, like the level of racial abuse. Like, it's to an absurd degree. So let's, look, this is what story is. Okay. There's a website I go on to, to watch a legal stream. is NBA. Yeah. Like Pirate Bay,
Starting point is 00:05:56 but for NBA. For NBA, yeah, yeah. So you have to click on to the website, go on to the game you want to watch. Right.
Starting point is 00:06:03 And there's a little comment section on the side. Right. Now, you think the comments on the side of the game would be like, yeah, way to go, LeBron.
Starting point is 00:06:09 Nice three-pointer there. Yeah, or like, hey, LeBron ain't shit. And then someone else going like, fuck you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:14 Instead, it is just insane. It's either anti-Semitism. Right. And it's all stuff like, you know, who owns the slaves? Really.
Starting point is 00:06:23 You know what I'm talking about? They want white people, what are they? Do some research. Oh, yeah, they're white people wearing yarmacos. Right, right. And the other stuff is just pictures of Ed Norton. From American History ads. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:36 Doing the curb stuff? Yeah, that's it, yeah. Just that little gif. And it's this nonstop, like, the only good, beep is a dead beep. Okay. No, it's like the only good star, star, star, star, star, star. And I'm like, the only good star, star, star, star, star. And I'm like, wonder what that stands for?
Starting point is 00:06:51 Let me try and decode this message Do you want to good Whigger? No, getting close What happened to Wiggers, man? Remember Wiggers? Oh, they were great. Wiggers now, I feel like it's just become part of life
Starting point is 00:07:03 because you know the way black culture becomes white culture after a world? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, we take the best. Yeah, but like, I mean, you know, Wiggers were, yeah, it's true. Wigger, it's kind of been like it's sort of absorbed
Starting point is 00:07:17 into the mainstream culture where people talk like, oh, yo, man, what's up, that's whack or whatever and they'll just be pasty white kids but it's not as jarring as them like walking around in like a du rag wearing fuboo it's like what it is my peep well you know what it is is uh it's a generational thing sure so the kids grown up now it's like yeah this is how i talk you know what's been a minute you know and but while wigger kids okay yeah they're like rapoport is the best example yeah yeah they're going like in their head going like is this
Starting point is 00:07:47 what they say come on you can do it you can do it you can be black you can be black uh you Yo, it's been a minute. Oh, fuck's sake. Hey, yo, it's been a moment. Yeah. Oh, no, that's not right. Oh, damn it. Let's go back to Rada.
Starting point is 00:08:00 Oh, fiddle sticks. Yeah, yeah. See, they were very much white kids who were like, I'm going to be like that. Yeah. Where white kids now that are growing up in this culture. What are you like it or not, James? I have no problem with it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:12 I'm all good with it, you know? But yeah, it's insane. So, like, it's the side is full racism. Yeah. And but the game itself, they're pushing this agenda. that sounds like I'm against it they're... Wait, who's pushing
Starting point is 00:08:26 what agenda? The NBA, like, yeah. What agenda are they pushing? Put the ball in the hoop? Those evil scumbags! The way I said it... This is white genocide. They're putting a ball in a hoop.
Starting point is 00:08:38 I was talking about Black Lives Matter, but I made it sound like they're pushing this agenda. What I meant is... Yeah, there's little like promos and stuff promoting Black Lives Matter. Some of them are a little bit over the top where it's like, we believe that black lives matter.
Starting point is 00:08:53 If a white person's silent, that equals black debt. Paco Bell. Taco Bell, because nobody still cares about Mexicans. Yeah, yeah. It's like, they're trying their best, and a lot of it is like, yeah, good. But some of it is like, this isn't ad, by the way, so I'm not going to fully believe. Yeah, exactly. Like, the Nike ad they have at the moment is so funny.
Starting point is 00:09:17 Really? I don't get offended by it by no people will. Go for it. What is it? What is it? It's like a split screen thing. Oh, yeah. So, like, let's say, um, uh, try this on this, James, okay? See if you can pick up the message, okay?
Starting point is 00:09:30 Okay. So it's like half the screen is LeBron James. Right. And the other half is Megan Raponi. Who's that? Uh, she's like a big football, uh, star, women's football. As in soccer or? Sorry, soccer football.
Starting point is 00:09:42 I think it's soccer, yeah, yeah. It's not American football. Yeah, it's not American football. Yeah, so women's soccer, okay? Right, right, right. She's probably the most famous women's soccer player, okay? What ethnicity is she, may I ask? She's a white lady.
Starting point is 00:09:53 Now, let's say if you can, you did, you did. You did media studies. Well, I did, yes. Let me try and deconstruct the semiotics. It's a split screen, okay? LeBron's on one side. Right.
Starting point is 00:10:02 Megan's on the other. Black man, white woman. Yeah. But they're saying the same thing. Okay. Yeah. Right. And what are they saying?
Starting point is 00:10:12 What exactly, what are they saying? Well, what do you think? Is there stuff like, just like, like, Black Lives Matter? This is a Nike ad. It's like, we believe that we need to do better, and we need to make sure this stops, and we've got to make sure that people understand. Black Lives Matter is not a controversial thing to say.
Starting point is 00:10:31 Yeah, okay. Yeah, that's a fair. I would agree with that argument. So the ad is all... Nothing wrong there? The ad is all stuff like that, okay? Right, right. So it's like black man, white woman.
Starting point is 00:10:41 Black woman, white man. Like, all these different famous people, okay? Oh, so they're kind of like changing, right? Yeah, yeah, right, right. but then they do something very interesting at the end do they I swear this is true they show
Starting point is 00:10:56 they split from they go away from format here okay this is out of the box there's a woman on a skateboard in a burqa okay okay and she's skating towards the center of the screen
Starting point is 00:11:08 right the transition point kind of like that Lumier brothers film up the train pulling into the station people just get up and run out of the cinema terrified as the woman on the Berger come
Starting point is 00:11:21 the skateboard She's going to kill us all I've seen the bodyguard I believe it was the Lumier brothers I could be wrong with that But she comes to the transition point And after transition point She's a gay man
Starting point is 00:11:31 Wait how do you know she's a gay man Well he's where He's literally holding a rainbow flag Okay right yeah yeah yeah Still on the skateboard Yeah yeah right right So Burke is gone Burke is gone
Starting point is 00:11:43 Right now There's many different ways To get offended by this Okay like think of the options okay this is what I like about this okay so option one yes you're a white guy
Starting point is 00:11:54 I am who hates Muslims you're like ugh they shouldn't be on TV they shouldn't be on skateboards or TV next one okay or gays actually your white guy hates gays then what if you're a Muslim
Starting point is 00:12:05 who hates gays yeah and doesn't think well I'm sure like certain Muslim guys would not like to see a woman on a skateboard yeah that's another reason to be offended but also the idea of like oh is she better now
Starting point is 00:12:19 because she went she's a gay man now okay she's like Pokemon they evolve right she's went from what is it Charmander to Charzart
Starting point is 00:12:29 yeah so like they got Muslim woman to gay man they got a Muslim woman to fight Pikachu okay and she won gotta catch a ball and she won
Starting point is 00:12:39 and then she evolves into a much better thing like a gay man on a skateboard now yeah of course yeah yeah so like you could get offended
Starting point is 00:12:47 about that. No one's, I went online to see if anyone was offended. Again, I don't care at all. I think it's kind of cool to see a burqa skateboard. Sure, yeah. I want to see her do some tricks. That should be, you know, Tony Hawk. They all have burqis? Yeah. That would be a good challenge now.
Starting point is 00:13:02 All sports just have burqas, you know, MMA, ice hockey. Ice hockey. That would be interesting. Yeah, but I went online to see if anyone was offended and people who were offended were the usual lot, you know? Right, okay. So what the racist? A lot of people like, I don't want my kids to see this, what if they catch something.
Starting point is 00:13:19 Right. My kid owns a skateboard. What, do you tell me now he needs to put on a burqa? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Their whole thing is like, you shouldn't wear a black clot over your head. Right. On your body.
Starting point is 00:13:33 White, and that's it. A little pinty hat. I mean, I would imagine that wearing a burk on a skateboard will actually be quite dangerous because it's a long billowy piece of clothing. It could get like, caught under the wheels and you could fall off? That's what I mean, yeah. That's the only thing that I could think of that's problematic about
Starting point is 00:13:53 it. Not from any ideological standpoint, but just, you know, health and safety. Yeah, really. And if you talk to these people, probably like, sure, you can't even say that. You couldn't even stop him. You couldn't. You try to put a helmet on her, you end up in jail. I've seen them.
Starting point is 00:14:09 They're skateboarding all over the place. No elbow pads. With the, you know, worship in the ear, the dragon, wherever they do. With their chopsticks. Their chopsticks. They're little dots on their heads. With their shrimp on the barfie.
Starting point is 00:14:30 With their bangers and mash. Yeah, yeah. They're all just like in his head, all foreign. Just an awful combination of everything he hates. Oh, yeah. But no, I haven't seen these ads now. Well, you're doing the Russian versions. Yeah, we just said.
Starting point is 00:14:47 out the Russia. Believe me, they would not send that shit to Russia. Oh, no. Hell no. What are the Russian ads like? Do you see the ads? No, we don't see their ads. No, no, no. Because, like, we just, like, we stay with the live feed of the game, you know what I mean? So it doesn't show any ads on the Russian channels, just, like, promos for, like, other sports. So we never actually see any of their ads. Like, I imagine a lot of their ads are very much, like, if you want to be, like, Putin, do this. Yeah. Yeah. So if you want to have hair, like, Putin, I don't know, he's bald. Bullding Well no He's got like He's got hair He's like that back in the sides But nothing on the top Yeah I'd say all the spokespeople
Starting point is 00:15:24 Have like a vague Putin look to them Where people like you know Let's say he's advertising shampoo He looks like Putin He's got He's on a horse with no shirt Yeah yeah yeah My shampoo
Starting point is 00:15:34 Or I kill you Yeah and they're like well I'll do it They can't argue with that Yeah Was I talking about this on the podcast before But it's so funny that like When Putin
Starting point is 00:15:43 You know Got in the power his whole thing was like I'm just a regular guy you know I'm boring job I drink a little too much naughty I get up to note you know yes
Starting point is 00:15:56 I definitely didn't do anything involving the KGB I never cut a man's throat I am not an elite assassin I can murder you with a spoon yeah he's just trying to win the guys he's about like Jim from the office or Jim from everybody loves Jim
Starting point is 00:16:11 Jim Belushi yeah yeah both of them actually wait no that wasn't no according to Jim that's what that show was called. Oh, you're right actually,
Starting point is 00:16:18 yeah, well, let's be honest, me and you aren't exactly big... Jim Belushi fans! Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, no. Jim was the best.
Starting point is 00:16:25 The best Belushi was Jim. I like Jim Belushi. I like Stephen Baldwin. Emilio Estavis. Well, he kind of is the better of the two. Yeah, I like Charlie Sheen.
Starting point is 00:16:39 Who's some good failure brothers? Yeah. There's lots of them. Bill Clinton's brother. Oh, yeah? Yeah, he was a drunk. as well. Joel Murray.
Starting point is 00:16:47 I actually do like Joel is great on Madman. Yeah. Oh, is he in Madman? He's, yeah, yeah. I actually,
Starting point is 00:16:53 I rewatch Madman recently. I've forgotten how intrigal he is to the plot. He's only in like 17 episodes out of like the seven seasons.
Starting point is 00:17:00 Right. Every time he probably has like won the best arcs. Okay. In it. Not to get in too much but he's like has a drinking problem
Starting point is 00:17:08 and then he kind of like deals with it and comes back being like sober. Right. But he's one of those sober guys he's like, you know, yeah,
Starting point is 00:17:14 I'll still go to the parries and like, Okay. He's very good at, like, he's very good like taking a drink, like, cheers, tanks, tanks, and then, like, just, you know, throwing it in the sink.
Starting point is 00:17:22 Yeah, throwing it in somebody's face. Yeah, because especially back then, if you, like, you weren't drinking and people noticed it, yeah, yeah, we got a problem here. You're not one of those, uh, I'm trying to put the word gay and communist together.
Starting point is 00:17:35 Gomminist. Communists. Comia gay. Yeah, commia gay. Communists. Yeah. There you go. Yeah, that's a good idea.
Starting point is 00:17:43 Yeah. So any, um, gay communists. out there we just helped you hit us up we know that's our key demographic gay communists um yeah oh i actually want to make some corrections okay from the previous podcast we've done as in today or no from last week all right what happened uh correction number one habadashery okay okay is not for hats oh okay how did you did somebody somebody message you directly no what happened is i said on the podcast we're habitashries for hats yeah to sell hats yeah and these down and I was like, I think that's true.
Starting point is 00:18:17 Okay. And I was driving home and I was like, I think that's true. Now I was trying to go sleep. I was like, much like what's the Edgar Allan Poe story where the heart's beating? Oh, the telltale heart? Yeah, much like that. Yeah. The telltale habadishery. I was like and then like around three o'clock
Starting point is 00:18:33 in the... You woke up in a cold sweat, paddock. Oh! No! No! Zink! Zink! And I checked and it's not for hats. is it for that?
Starting point is 00:18:46 For sewing. Okay. Yeah. So an egg on my face. Yeah, you look like quite the fool. Now, who's going to respect me now? Now I try to chat up to teenage girls. They're going to laugh at me.
Starting point is 00:19:01 What was the other correction? Okay, the other one was actually for you, if you don't mind. Oh, please. I know it's your birthday. Yes. So we were talking about felching. Okay. Yeah, it doesn't involve a corpse.
Starting point is 00:19:11 Yeah. But it is orifice around the... It's sucking the jizz out of... the pussy or assholes. That's it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But there is another one that does involve a corpse.
Starting point is 00:19:22 Yes. What is that? That's going to say, you can win on a technicality because you can do it with a corpse. It doesn't specify... Okay. There's not in a rule book
Starting point is 00:19:28 about it not being a corpse. Well, I don't know. I guess the hip cats that I hung out with, I hung out with some pretty wild dudes. Yeah. And when I learned about felching, it involved a corpse.
Starting point is 00:19:39 So, hey. I imagine it's better way of corpse. Probably. Less complaining. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, God. A one of these days
Starting point is 00:19:47 And you're like Oh no, you're dead I can't do anything to you Weekend at Bernice 3 Felching But it's the modern day Weekend at Bernie's We're in a gay relationship
Starting point is 00:19:58 And got a problem with that Me and this corpse Are gonna get married Yeah, that's right That's what happened Yeah How'd he die He fell off his skateboard
Starting point is 00:20:04 Broke his neck The Burka got caught On the room Yeah So like Felching can be with dead It's like a blowjob Can be with a dead person Yes it can
Starting point is 00:20:14 Yeah well no not necessarily because can a dead cock get hard hey does not be hard for blowjob as i've learned okay yeah yeah you can suck the jizz out saw from a corpse is that what you're telling me no no i'm not saying a successful blow job okay but you can attempt a blowjob yeah that's a good point yeah let's be honest here we're both men of the world okay sure uh surely at one stage you've had a woman tried to give you a blow job and it doesn't work and eventually you have to like ah look here well i yeah i have not come but like only when i'm like really drunk or whatever. Oh no, I mean like it's just soft. As in wouldn't get hard at all. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:48 It was like, you know what they put on the bait to catch fish? Yeah. That's basically what she has in her mouth like. Right, yeah, a little like worm on a hook. Yeah, yeah. I mean, you know, I have had to like sling it up half mass, you know what I mean? That's, it's not, it's never good, but I can, yeah, I can, you know, it gets close enough to a decent attempt, you know? It's a solid effort. Yeah, no one's going to like, um, you know the Olympics and they hold up the numbers. numbers up yeah yeah yeah it'd be like five stick the landing fives and fours like not not completely disrespect like um it's so it's a it's a not

Bargain. yeah finished your peroni there finished my beer yeah what do we add here half an hour half an hour's not bad yeah you know what we haven't even got to brandon o'connor yeah i thought we were going to talk with brendon o'connor and we were having
Starting point is 00:28:19 so much fun yes we were didn't get to him yet so let's get into it okay well is this just is this a part of a new thing that you're doing yes okay this is a new segment on the show called people we hate right so every week either me or james pick someone we hate. We go into the history and why we hate them, why they're hateable, and why you should hate them. Okay. And let's be honest here why you should docks them, attack them, get those snipers back.
Starting point is 00:28:47 Go to their home. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. There's actually one bit, I wish I saved it for the Patreon episode. Yeah. But, um, look, let's just get this out of the way, okay? Okay. Brendan O'Connor. Yes. His son... Oh? You know.
Starting point is 00:29:02 What? Let's just say he should be off limits. I don't know what that means. Let's just say he, uh, he, he's, uh, he's, uh, he's swimming, uh, no, I was just, I was going to say swimming with the fishes. That's dead. Yeah, that is dead. He's got Down syndrome.
Starting point is 00:29:18 Let's just say, let's just say he's swimming with the crayons. Swimming with the crayons. That tastes so good. Let's just get down the way, okay. The sun has down syndrome. Yeah, yeah. And that's in no way my fault. No, it's not.
Starting point is 00:29:34 I don't want anyone to start. Why has Brendan O'Connor tried to blame you? He's taking you to court. I don't want anyone to say it's a kind of rain dance. Brain dance. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:49 Yeah, so let's just get that out of way. Right, okay. Get the silliness out of way and let's get into the serious. Like, obviously you shouldn't hate him for that. No. That's the only likable thing about him. Right.
Starting point is 00:29:58 Okay. I didn't know that at all. Yeah. Well, he uses him a lot in his column. Actually, even using it sounds, saying like he uses him a lot sounds like I'm going to be negative. Like he talks about him a lot in his columns, okay?
Starting point is 00:30:09 His awful, awful columns, okay? Right, right, right, right. Brendan O'Connor. Yes. A guy, we all kind of know, but we don't want to. No, no. He's someone we, I think,
Starting point is 00:30:19 there's a lot hateable people out in the world. Yeah. And Brendan O'Connor kind of sneaks around, okay? And we kind of don't notice him. Yeah. Okay. He's, yeah, it's kind of like, he's so boring that you don't really pay attention to him.
Starting point is 00:30:32 But on the rare occasions, you do pay attention to him. You just think, Oh, this is a very unpleasant, unlikable individual. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. But you think, like,
Starting point is 00:30:40 oh, he's not as bad as, like, Stalin? Yeah, Stalin or Hitler. Yeah. You'd be wrong, my friend. Oh, okay. So, Brendan O'Connor, born in Cork. Right.
Starting point is 00:30:51 Okay. From a young age, Wunderkind. Okay. Debate Society. Oh. At a young age, he was doing comedy. He was singing. Comedy?
Starting point is 00:31:00 Yeah, yeah. Really? Stand-up comedy. Fuck off. Yeah. I think a big part of his personality is, fact he's a failed comic. Okay.
Starting point is 00:31:08 He does have that bitterness. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now, back in the day, if you're a failed comic, you had to go into, like, writing and write, and write funny, funny columns. Okay. Wait, how long was he a comedian for, roughly? A few years. He did, he was doing the interlaw. Really?
Starting point is 00:31:22 Yeah, yeah. Oh, wow. Listen to this. Wow. His character, okay, was a satirical poet. Soterical poet? Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:31:31 You'd make fun of poets. Okay. Yeah. So what, he'd just get up there and do intentionally bad poetry? Yeah, yeah, in the intro, yeah, yeah. Right, okay. That was his schick for a while, okay? Okay, fair enough.
Starting point is 00:31:45 And then he got into writing. Oh. For the independent. Right. Now, apparently his older brother got him into writing. Who's, what does his older brother do? You know what he does? What?
Starting point is 00:31:56 Sleep with the fishes. Oh! And he doesn't have Down syndrome. Okay. Yeah. His older brother got him in the writing and then died. How'd he die? I didn't see
Starting point is 00:32:05 It didn't really go into detail Okay I assume I hope it was something painful Okay Hopefully I hope it was like He had to listen to his brother's stand up Or like he was driving behind the truck
Starting point is 00:32:15 For like you know rebar Rebar You know those pipes Oh yeah yeah And like And one like came out and flew through the Yeah I hope like it was A whole final destination thing
Starting point is 00:32:24 Yes Or you see a thing in final destination Where the girl's in the sunbed And the thing falls over And you can't open the door Yeah And then they just slowly cook alive Yeah
Starting point is 00:32:32 I hope that was that's what happened Yeah, I hope he was in a bikini And he got burnt to death Listening to roller coaster Oh, yo Okay, so he's a You know, he's writing He's doing some poetry, some comedy
Starting point is 00:32:46 Some singing Sure And he's like, this is great He gets onto a TV show called Don't Feed the Gondolas Gondolas Yeah Which does play on gorillas
Starting point is 00:32:57 Darrow Breen was on there Darrow Breen and Sean Moncrief Right It was a tree of them Okay And I watched an episode you get an idea what the show was yeah and it's funny because it's like the panel
Starting point is 00:33:08 but it's the 90s right so Lewinsky jokes are like topical they're huge right yeah yeah yeah uh and it's funny because you know like Darrow Breans doing like stuff that like it's not groundbreaking but it's like it's just funny yeah yeah Bill Clinton like Pinocchio but instead of his nose getting bigger it's like oh oh you know yeah it's more meat
Starting point is 00:33:24 than wood you yeah yeah like he's put their jokes yeah sure yeah maybe like he probably looks back and like oh you know yeah but I'm sure at the time it was great like Yeah, yeah. So it's, so Sean Moncrief, he's on news talk now. Yeah. And his daughter's on only fans.
Starting point is 00:33:39 Yeah, and she seems pretty funny, like, I watch her vlogs and she's pretty funny. Okay. No, she's, she's all right, like. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What did I, I say nothing? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not chills. Okay, so Sean Moncrief was a straight guy on the show, he was the host.
Starting point is 00:33:58 Right. And he batted back and forth. Okay. And it's funny watching him play, because Darrow Breen gets a laugh. Yeah. Big laugh. Of course. Brendan O'Connor says something.
Starting point is 00:34:07 Crickets. Yeah? Crickets. Brilliant. It's almost like someone turned down the laugh track. Well, see, that is the thing. If you have, he just exudes a very unlikable persona or his aura. It's hard to describe.
Starting point is 00:34:23 It's almost like you don't even need to conceptualize it. It's just something you feel. Yeah. He has an unlikable feel to him. And I think if you're a stand-up comedian, and you have like this inherent unlikability that sort of radiates out, people pick up on that
Starting point is 00:34:39 and you don't get laughs. Yeah, and also like, I know also a lot when Darrow O'Brien says something he's completely at ease. It's like, ah, sure, imagine this, okay? Yeah. Smile, smile, smile. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:49 With Brendan O'Connor, it's kind of hard to verbalize this, but after every joke, whether it works or not, you get to kind of like kind of like grumpy, kind of dower, kind of like, okay, look, as if everything he says like, it's either like, that didn't get a laugh
Starting point is 00:35:04 or that didn't get big enough laugh Right, right, okay I could have said that better People don't appreciate me Yeah, yeah Or even like if it's a big laugh He's like, Darrow Brains, we're gonna say
Starting point is 00:35:13 something funny next. Fuck him. Fucking prick. He'll never host Mock the Week. I don't know what Mock the Week is yet, boy. I'll see to it
Starting point is 00:35:21 that it doesn't happen. So listen this, Don't Feed the Gondolas is a relatively successful show for RETE, okay? Darrow Breen leaves. Of course. Big and better things.
Starting point is 00:35:30 Sean Moncrief leaves, bigger and better things. They're both, even to this day, very successful. Sean Moncrief, big radio show every day. Sure. He's actually one of the only people on news talk who seems to have some kind of like conscious. Okay.
Starting point is 00:35:44 Yeah, he's not like... I've never listened to him, so I really wouldn't know. I mean, he's middle class, but he's not like retardedly middle class. Right, okay. Like, I was listening to Pat Kenny wants a news talk. He's like, yes, as I'm sure, we all, we've all got gardens. And like, he lives in this world. Pat Kenney lives in this world.
Starting point is 00:35:59 We've all got, like, lovely gardens in our house. Yeah, lovely gardens and atrium. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And all his stuff is like, so you're buying your second fridge, what should you look for? Now, should it be bigger than your first fridge?
Starting point is 00:36:13 Yes, I believe it should. Yes. Yeah. So, it's then, they all leave. It's Brendan O'Connor on his own. Okay. So what year was Don't Feed the Gondolas? Monica Lewinsky.
Starting point is 00:36:26 Okay, so that's like mid till eight, 90s. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, 97, 98. So Brendan O'Connor is now in charge of the show. Oh. He's the only one left. Oh shit. And the show
Starting point is 00:36:35 Nose Dives. Who comes on to replace the other two? Just not comedians like. I think it's a rotating A rotating cast of people like And people like Ivan Yates Like not like
Starting point is 00:36:46 Yeah, okay Oh, I love his take on things. God, it's awful. It's just all so awful. So the show goes down And Brendan O'Connor doesn't take He, Brendan O'Connor blames the lack of funny people
Starting point is 00:36:58 in the Irish comedy scene. Oh, right, okay, yeah, sure. He said there was no one funny around to have on the show and that's why the show failed. Yeah, this is around the time of Tommy Tiernan, Dylan Moran are all coming up. Yeah, no funny people. I guarantee you, he probably was like, no.
Starting point is 00:37:13 Yeah. I don't get it. That's the thing. He wouldn't have wanted anybody on that could upstage him or outshine him, which is literally anyone. Yeah. So he just gets duds on to make himself look better. And then, of course, the show tanks.
Starting point is 00:37:27 Where instead of, like, he should have just been the host and being like, look, I'll have it the odd funny thing, but I let these funny guys take control At the very least He should have been able to look at it As a business decision Say, okay, maybe I won't be the star Of the show
Starting point is 00:37:40 But if I get good people on At least the show will still be successful And I'll be like heading this ship Or whatever, you know But his own narcissism wouldn't let him do that And actually to bring that back for a minute Remember when you had the show cut an edge Yeah
Starting point is 00:37:54 So I know two comedians That either open for him Or one definitely open for him or, well one definitely open for him did crowd work crowd work like the warm up act
Starting point is 00:38:05 for the audience yeah yeah right right people like I know I think two who actually did it and then one who tried to do it
Starting point is 00:38:10 and was turned down okay and he was told this by a producer and then the other comedians were like yeah that's true and there's a reason
Starting point is 00:38:18 why the two comedians I know Warren invited back because he doesn't like people being that funny really when he sees the guy doing crowd work he's getting laughs
Starting point is 00:38:25 he's like fuck you really yeah holy shit so you can just tell he has that very bitter petty like insecure thing
Starting point is 00:38:35 where he just can't you know if he's not the star if he's not the funniest the most likable blah blah blah he's very resentful of anybody that's better than him yeah yeah which is literally anyone yeah and he actually stopped comedians doing that yeah there's no crowd warm ups now is that right yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:38:51 for his show well he doesn't have a show now but no he didn't have but at the time he's like no it doesn't set the right tone I don't want the crowd to be in any way enjoying themselves. That will ruin it for me. He can only
Starting point is 00:39:03 get off if he knows the entire audience are miserable. So, okay, now this is a real ragged and richest story, okay? He loses his show.
Starting point is 00:39:12 He's like, what am we going to do now? Oh, I'm just alone in my house. Who's in the house? I'm in the house. Wait, that could be a song.
Starting point is 00:39:21 Wait, this is after, don't feed the gondola. Yeah, he looks at the cross and the wall and it's like, I got an idea. He releases, Who's in the house?
Starting point is 00:39:29 Jesus in the house. What was the name of the... He was, he went under... Because he was, like, dressed as a priest and all. Yeah, it was like Fader... Fathers Flip O'Malley or some shite like that, probably. Yeah, I had it written down some... But it was like the fun-loving...
Starting point is 00:39:46 Cardinals. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And this is after Father Ted's success, by the way. Of course, yeah, yeah. So just piggybacking off that. Where most people were probably like, oh, this is like Father Ted, is it? Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:39:57 Yeah, yeah. That was huge, though, that song. wrong person died That song was very big though I think it did come It did reach number one When it came out

Like, if you just took the just as a picture of a building, as a drawing of a building, that looks great. Okay. But there's also like a Godzilla there. Right, right, right. And then like he got bullied a lot. Okay. And he stopped doing it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:44 Then I remember like years later, I met him. And I was like, oh, do you still do the drawings? And he kind of looked at me like sad. Oh, that is sad. Who's in the house?

Starting point is 00:48:38 So if we're talking about someone being racist. It's not as bad as sad. Yeah, yeah. Like, if we're talking about someone being racist, you say, oh, I hate those camel jockeys. But if you, like,
Starting point is 00:48:48 just drop that in public. Yeah. Unless you're at the races. And they're like, that's a horse. Like, oh, my mistake. Oh, my mistake. And you're just like, yeah. I got away with him.
Starting point is 00:48:59 The perfect crime. All right. He's pro-Iraq war. Listen to this. Okay, it was crazy. He was pro-Iraq war. The list of things he was wrong about was insane. Pro-Iraq war.
Starting point is 00:49:10 Yeah. Pro-buying houses. Keep spending. Celtic Tigers is never going to end. Right, right, right. A big thing he kept saying was the Celtic Tiger will never end. Don't listen to these economists who are saying that it will. This is a great time.
Starting point is 00:49:27 Right. Buy more houses. Take borrow big. Borrow against your children's future. To be honest now, if anybody did take Brendan O'Connor's financial advice, you got what was coming to you. Yeah, yeah. You know?
Starting point is 00:49:42 I'm trying to read... Was he anti-abortion or anti-gay marriage? I feel like he'd be opposed to those things. He's one of those people that's like, I'm not against it. I'm just saying you have a luck with it both sides. Yeah, right. He's probably one of those people just to like stir up. bit of controversy, you know.
Starting point is 00:49:59 I can't find the exact quote, but it was like, with the economy, it was like, this is the, this is never going to end. Yeah. And then when it did end, he was like, I told, I tried to tell you, you wouldn't listen to me. Yeah, yeah. No, it was kind of like, I got fooled, but you know what? Everyone got fooled. Right, okay.
Starting point is 00:50:17 And no one knew it was going to happen. Except for all the people I told you not to listen to. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, those crackpots. He also, he said the Romanian beggars aren't as polite as Irish. British beggars. He took out a full three-page spread for that one. Imagine just the height of the Iraq war as well.
Starting point is 00:50:39 He's like, stop the presses. I got a scoop. That's amazing. But that's such a middle-class thing. Why can't you be polite? Like the Irish beggars. He just died on the street. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:52 He was also big into, he wanted to bring the word knacker back. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. Nice. When he wants to start a band called Knackers with Attitude. Knackers with Attitude. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:03 Which is such a, like, you know when you start comedy and you're like, hmm, let's think of a joke here. That's such a, like, hacky. He was probably sitting on that for about 12 years. That's such a hacky, like, when you're one month in the comedy, think of that and like, okay. I'm a genius. No, you think it down, like, how can I make this funny?
Starting point is 00:51:20 Yeah. What can I, okay, obviously that won't work as a joke. Was there something else in that, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And imagine to think, like, not to like, I'm going to try. this out in an open mic to be like, I'm going to write a fucking column in a national newspaper.
Starting point is 00:51:33 Oh, he was arguing he should be allowed to say the word knacker, is it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now, does he mean knacker is just as a general oh, your scumbag? Or specifically for travelers? Both, yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:51:45 You've seen the travelers should start the band. The best of both worlds. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I should be able to say it to the Romanians. Get out of here, you, knacker. Yeah, yeah. uh oh here's a funny little thing now it's kind of just go off for a second uh he defended uh remember enda kenny said the n word no i don't in 2002 what he said the n word i'm going to look up the exact story here because i read it and i couldn't

Starting point is 00:56:12 Okay so Brendan O'Connor defended him Yeah So things are going well For Brendan O'Connor Okay Yeah And also for Enda
Starting point is 00:56:21 Oh yeah He gained a lot of fans. Hey, that's how he became fucking T-shock. They were just like, I like this guy's style. Too hot for TV. It was kind of around that like jackass MTV era of the early 2000s. You know, this is the rock and roll T-shock that we need. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:42 So, finally, it finally happens. He gets his own TV show. Okay, cut nitch. No, the Saturday Night Live, the Saturday Night Show first. Oh, sorry. The Saturday Night Show, okay. Now, this is when I first really noticed him because what happened is he had
Starting point is 00:56:56 Tuberdi's night and the late late show. Yeah. Almost like a, you know, a Fallon, Set Myers thing. Right. Or like Letterman and... Leno? Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay? So what happens is Pat Kenney steps down.
Starting point is 00:57:10 Tuberty takes over the Late Late Show. Right. And Brendan O'Connor is given him a Saturday night show. And Brendan O'Connor, the show is a disaster. Right. Okay. He didn't really have that many big moments. I always remember
Starting point is 00:57:23 he had a monologue at the start Oh And this is this is the whole monologue Okay I remember this clearly Like a car accident Okay Right
Starting point is 00:57:32 So it's the show starts Yeah He comes out He goes Thank you everyone Thank you coming to the show Thank you Great, great night
Starting point is 00:57:38 We've got some great guests We got Oliver Callin And I know Michael Barrymore Okay Oh why Yeah okay Great show
Starting point is 00:57:47 First of all Let's talk with news Jedward We're in New York this week. They should have stayed there. Anyway, we're going to the show.
Starting point is 00:57:59 That was the whole monologue. There was a team of writers been working on that all week. Job well done, boys. Some guy was like counting the syllables going like, is this funny? Like Studio 60s, like will this work? Will they find the beats?
Starting point is 00:58:14 Do you know the power of comedy? We can change the world. So I mentioned Oliver Cal and Michael Barrymore because it was probably two biggest guests. Okay. He actually had Barrymore on.
Starting point is 00:58:24 Yeah, yeah. Oh, wow. He had, Callan, the big thing was like Callan revealed he was gay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:58:29 He came out on TV and, right, right. And, you know, Brendan was like, in his style. Swung for him. Brendan called him the N word.
Starting point is 00:58:38 Oh, you're like my son, are you? Yeah, he's like, oh, are you? Jeez. You know,
Starting point is 00:58:48 there's like, there's no, like, I'm interesting, yeah. Yeah, it was, it was,
Starting point is 00:58:52 like, okay, and how does that experience, you know, shaped your, you know, your childhood and blah, blah, I was like, yeah, yeah, you haven't said that before, have you? It's fucking mad. Yeah, but definitely when he said that I'm gay, definitely was that the head moved back a bit like, his chair just slid back, like a record scratch. Ooh. There was somebody playing piano, like in a saloon and it just stopped. Mamma me.
Starting point is 00:59:18 Okay, and he had Barrymore on as well, because Barrymore doesn't really do that many public appearances. No, not since it's the unpleasantness. Yeah, and he had Barrymore on, and Barrymore did some funny stuff on stage. Sure, yeah. He took, he ripped up Brendan's cards. He was like, yeah, you don't need this now, yeah, yeah. And then he drank Brendan's water, and he's like, oh, there's no alcohol in this. Right, right, right, yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:38 You know, and no one mentioned the elephant in the pool. It was a chakoozy. Oh, was it? I don't know, yeah, something like that. Yeah, yeah, God. Which, by the way, if you're successful, you should be allowed. you know what I mean Just some fucking hood rat
Starting point is 00:59:56 Scum that he picked up in the club Yeah And sure they ruptured his anus With some sort of implement But hey It's party time baby I'm just saying okay And I swear to God
Starting point is 01:00:06 Okay If some dead twink winds up On my lawn Okay I don't want to hear some fucking bitch Some bitch Some bitch give me what Oh yeah
Starting point is 01:00:19 Yeah Bitch bitch Yep Yep, yep, yep. People forget how good Barry Moore was as well. Like, he would literally, he would go off script, crowd work, he'd run up into the crowd and just start shifting grannies against their will. It was wacky entertainment, you know?
Starting point is 01:00:36 It was a better time. It was, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, the late, sorry, the Saturday night show. Failed. Yeah, it goes for a while, because RTE seemed to have this kind of thing of, like, will never let you fail. Yeah, yeah. If you're in RTE, we'll just keep giving you the show.
Starting point is 01:00:51 There must be some kind of like blood ritual sacrifice shit going on. The fact that they still keep these absolute gobs shites, unentertaining fucking duds. Just keep them on the payroll. They must have dirt on somebody or something. Brendan O'Connor has four seasons, I think, of middling viewing figures that get worse and worse. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:13 And then at the start of the fourth season, he's like, listen, guys, sorry I tell you this, but this will be our last run. and the people in the audience like, huh? Okay. It was the first applause break in the entire show's history. Literally, it's like such as he's like, this is a last show and like a silence for a second
Starting point is 01:01:32 people are like, oh, I guess I should go, oh, oh, oh, that's bad. Somebody just at the side poking them with his stick. Yeah, yeah. Oh, no, you are my favorite, I guess. You're our Carson, Brendan. Yeah. So the show fails. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:48 Next season, cutting edge. edge. They're like, oh no, it's the format as a problem. Yeah. The whole interviewing people, that just doesn't work anymore. Yeah, interviewing
Starting point is 01:02:00 celebrities. Nobody wants to watch that. Yeah, yeah. Who wants to? So cutting edge, it was like a round table discussion, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:07 You know, the hard hitting issues. Yeah, hard hitting, they mean, like, they'll have like a black woman on, okay? They'd be like,
Starting point is 01:02:14 so black woman. I'm not going to remember your name because it's probably something weird like La Mumba, okay? It's Sandra. I knew you killed Dan Lagerin. I know what Enda says about you, okay? But it's like, so...
Starting point is 01:02:27 Don't take your voodoo out of me, eh? So, a black woman, is there racism in Ireland? She's like, actually Brendan there is. And here's it. Yep, yeah, yeah. I don't believe you. Well, there you have it, folks. Straight from the black woman's mouth.
Starting point is 01:02:41 And so it'll be one, like, serious topic, okay? Like, oh, should, you know, should kids get raped? Okay. I don't think so. And the rest of it Maybe, you know, I'm an old fuddy-duddy And I don't understand the new ways But in the rest of it would just be like
Starting point is 01:02:58 So vegans What's the crack with that? Yeah. I'm sure I love a bit of a steak What's wrong with that? It was such fucking like middle class Like be vegans or like Is there enough parking in Dublin? Yeah, yeah
Starting point is 01:03:09 Or like Vogue Williams comes on To talk about anxiety or some shit Vogue's on Vogue is on to be like Yeah Or people on Twitter are mean to me But they're all fat losers who can't get
Starting point is 01:03:22 pussy that's why they hate me yeah yeah it's like oh no I'm not actually a awful person most fucking awful person she is horrible didn't she says something like oh like foreigners should be put in like direct she was basically pro direct provision no no worse
Starting point is 01:03:38 worse after Manchester bombing she was like listen I know people don't want to hear it but Muslims should be put in cages I'm hot so I should be able to say to her like it's subscribe She was basically like We should have camps I remember she had some shows
Starting point is 01:03:53 Like I was talking about anxiety or whatever So was this OCD person Like real bad OCD And her whole thing was like Anytime she left the gaff She had to have a backpack Full of stuff like you know Kind of in cases of emergency
Starting point is 01:04:04 And Vogue is like Oh my God Ridley you're ticking all that Jesus that's mad Yeah Full on laughing at this like Mentally ill person Oh I would love to cut her nose off

Starting point is 01:04:34 Okay, I don't want to offend anyone But she is a con She is a horrible cunt Yeah A fucking malignant cunt Hey Oh Yeah
Starting point is 01:04:42 Like a Puerto Rican whore Ah yeah So we're not Anyway Back to Brendan O'Connor Anyway, we should do a Volga, well, I think, yeah. Why do we bring her up?
Starting point is 01:04:52 I don't, I don't even know. No, we're talking about guests on the cutting age. Yeah, yeah. So, it would it be like, it'd be Vogue on and be like, so Vogue, are you too pretty? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:02 Sometimes I think I am. Boo-hoo, hoo! Boo-hoo! Yeah. Yeah, and like, you know, we all have to look at her. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 01:05:14 You're just like, you were completely lost your trajectory there. Back to Brendan O'Connor. He's just stabbing the page. So anyway, cutting edge goes on for a while. He's got, like, some people on. He's got, like, Al Porter on and talk about... Again, like, we got Al Porter on talk about gang violence.
Starting point is 01:05:31 Is that right? Yeah, yeah. And Alporta's like, this isn't a gang violence issue. This is a mental health issue. Now, bend over you. Let me have a little grab of you there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. actually this is true
Starting point is 01:05:48 swear to God not a joke before the whole you know me too Al Porter okay yeah yeah
Starting point is 01:05:54 Brendan O'Connor was a big fan at Al Porter oh swear to God he said he's gonna be next Barrymore
Starting point is 01:05:58 that's great oh how right you were you imagine how in noostradamus yeah imagine how in night Al Porter is
Starting point is 01:06:09 was like well I just grabbed the cock and got cancelled I didn't even get to like kill a twink by rupturing
Starting point is 01:06:15 his asshole yeah yeah So just to wrap this up now, okay? So the cutting edge... It's over now, isn't it? It goes for a while, gets cancelled as well. Yeah, because it's shy.
Starting point is 01:06:24 Yeah, and you think, like, RT'd be like, well, that's the end of that. Lesson learned. No, full-time radio slot on RT Radio 1. Right. More of the same, then, just him talking shy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And also, he edits the Irish Independent, okay? Okay.
Starting point is 01:06:42 So you get to read his columns every, I think Sunday. Every Sunday. Right, right, right. And his columns now are ridiculous. Okay. Because I think he's like, okay, I tried to be an offensive comedian
Starting point is 01:06:54 that didn't work. So now I'm doing like kind of gentle rib-ticklers. Right, right, right. Stuff like, this is an example of something he'd write, okay? I think I read this.
Starting point is 01:07:04 There's a new craze in Dublin. Everyone's addicted to it. They can't get enough of their fix. They'd sell their own mothers for a bit. You know what I'm talking about? Coffee. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:17 it's that level of like oh if I read that you wouldn't laugh you'd like yeah it actually if I read that it would annoy me
Starting point is 01:07:29 yeah it would like who the fuck wrote this it's that level of like let me try you and take another one to see how easy it is okay
Starting point is 01:07:36 right um let's think now okay it'd be something like vaping okay right right right okay
