Ha. Ha. All right. Well, we are so stoked to be here to do our first our do-go-on pod for the tour. Mm. We've been hanging out in Dublin the last few nights. Having a great time last night we went out to Temple Bar.

Don't know if you've ever heard of that. Getting a bit of culture was real great to get a bit of Irish culture. We like, we got to see some culture. And we did. We went and we saw a guy singing some Irish songs. We were like American Pie. Mm-hmm. Generally, he goes at the start. It's like, I hope everyone's here for some Irish music.

Because if you're not, you can fuck off. Oh, we are here for Irish music. This is exactly what we want. Two songs later, he played American Pie. He was confusing. And then he changed the words for dirty old town to dirty old man in relation to himself That was fun. I was like list. He's aware the self-awareness was nice

Yeah, that was good. He kept telling off guys in the I guess audience for telling him off for it Invading what he called the ladies own Lee's own, but then kept saying, but I'm allowed in the ladies' own. No, no ladies will be letting you in their zone. And then I looked up and on the roof, there was a sign that just said no spitting. And I thought, if you have to say it. What's happened? What's happened that you had to put a sign up?

I've got it, yeah. Love you, see you. It's been in competition. We love your culture, thank you so much for your investment? Love you too. It's been in competition. We love your culture. Thank you so much for your encouragement. Thank you so, so much. Your culture. Dave doesn't really get it.

Jess and I mainly are a charity, whereas Dave is a German. So, he doesn't really get all I mean, Jess, basically, you guys, if you are turning on anyone, make it be Dave. Okay, that one, dickhead. Oh, I love, I love Kevin. What was that, huh?

Nailed it, alright. So this is the first podcast of the tour. We are very, very excited to kick off with our first ever show here in Dublin. But, Matt's just selling drugs on the side. If you need anything, just stand at the side of the stage for a bit. Just look. Look side stage, Matt will fix you up. Yeah, he's got a trench coat.

He's got a trench coat. He's got a trench coat. He's got a trench coat. He's got a trench coat. He's got a trench coat. He's got a trench coat. and hand me a jammersons and a Jack Daniels class. Yeah, Jack Daniels, that classic Irish drink. Ooh. It's confusing. Dave, start the show.

I want to always going to say, is because we're about to do a podcast. Give me a round of applause if you've ever heard our show do go on before. CHEERING Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Okay, you clapped for a long time. We weren't fishing. Yeah, it was just a bit of market research really. I'm really important to you just because you were like you're sort of sitting in there and clapping with your hands up high but it looked weird that I singled you out so I just started pointing to other people to cover that up

do you out so I just started pointing to other people to cover that up. And you! Other into the scale, don't be shy of course. I can be random pause if you've never seen or heard our show before. I feel as well. Also, thank you very much for coming. Oh, the person from Pavan of course. Of course. A lot of joy about never hearing this before over here. And they're like, and I still want. La, la, la, la, not listening. Well, they're not familiar with the show. What we do here usually is a report on a topic suggested by a listener. And why the hell changed things up and how?

But what we've done is we've all made a report on a overarching topic and we have gone for Irish stories. Oh, that actually works out well because this is in Ireland. Imagine doing that in Glasgow. They'd be like, what the fuck? We'd be like, aww. So we're not very bright. But thanks for coming. So I want to kick things off with the first reporter on an Irish tale.

Okay. And we usually start with a question. And again, we're going to stick with that. And I'm going to ask the question to Justin Martin, if they don't know, we can throw it over. Two-year-level people here. Matt looks like he's ready to buzz him. I did just zone out to bit, but I imagine we're about to start the show.

The question is, as a point of national pride, in 1956 an Irishman stole a painting from which London gallery? For London and Metro, is that a thing? Which one? The Metro? No? Moana, Mooma, Mooba? No?

Shlob, Shlap. Is it close? Is it something like an blah blah? At a museum of something something something something. I think you've won a nail that. That was the most coordinated you've ever been and you were dropping something. I did it. It rhymes with mate. Tate! It is the Tate! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well done. Well done. Victory feels good. Rhymes, rhymes with mate. I'm going to get this. That's sp... spate. Spate. How can you just start?

The topic today mate is the Hugh Lane painting robbery suggested by Ellie CK from Melbourne. Who come a long way to avoid it. Comes to every Melbourne show. We refuse to do any of the topics. Sorry. Uh, uh, Randall Paws, have you ever heard of this topic? Oh my god. Oh, a smattering. Randall Paws, if you areana Paul's, have you ever heard of this topic? Oh my god. Oh, a smattering.

Rana Paul's, if you are, in fact, lying. What a great, great, great, great, excuse me, doesn't know anything about art. You have bullshit. I believe you. You know all about it. Thank you. Would you like to do the report?

Without looking at this. All right, so this is, yeah this is the sort of the Hugh Lane painting robbery, which is, as you know, a great, great, great tale. Let me tell you about Hugh Lane, first of all, Hugh Lane, Matt, if I can just make sure you're focusing. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Did you know we lost someone?

It's usually about that far in. Yeah. He's actually a big Hulane fan, and he will not hear you besmirch his good name. Are you about to besmirch him? Absolutely not. A big fan, big fan of the human. And that is Hulane, born in County Cork in 1875. A few cork heads in, alright. 75. Few call cats in, all right. Let's get called. Is called which one stab city is that cork?

Leonard, okay You all went out and found that out. I stayed there about 10 years ago and I walked the streets in the middle of the night and then watch the news I went, oh, what have I done? Even the news reader called it stab city. LAUGHTER No, this is County Cork in 1875, but he was brought up in Cornwall over in England. Woo!

What? All right. Are you from Cornwall? Yeah. yeah. Covered it really well. Your... Your fault. Oh, yeah, that's the Cornish people do scones wrong.

They do jam then cream. They do it the right way, yeah. Yeah, that's why they put the spread on and then the cream on top. I mean, it makes sense. They do scones wrong, but they do pasties. Oh, so right. Yeah, so right. Yeah, that's it.

Getting a few, sickenuring at us having different accents. Like, you didn't already know that. Wow, which bit? Oh, what do we say wrong? Skones. Oh, there's no W in it. What are you doing? Skowens.

What are you doing? Well, that is. I love it. That's something from a round here, R is. I love it. That's something from around here, Rican. A Hugh Lane. Right. Began his career as an apprentice painting restaurant working for an art dealer in London. He went on to become a very successful art dealer in his own right.

For a time, money really came and then went. Leading him to become a famously frugal man. According to the Guardian, like his aunt, he frequently dined on a bun and a piece of fruit. Good combo. Sounds like he's living like a king. Well, can't fruit be talking? Because that changes a lot of things.

Rotting fruit. Okay, well that doesn't sound that great then. He operated out of London and you're remaining close contact, however, with family and friends back in the Motherland in Ireland. And according to his own website, quote, he counted among his family and friends those who collectively formed the core of the Irish

cultural Renaissance in the early decades of the 20th century. When's this story from? LAUGHTER Early 1900s? How does he have a website? the early decades of the 20th century. When's this story from? Early 1900s? How does he have a website? LAUGHTER It straighters! He was ahead of his time. Yeah.

I mean, the real story is here. He invented the internet. Yeah. I mean, the real story is here. He invented the internet. Sometimes you'd think he's zoned out, but he's actually. He's asking the right questions on him. I was like, 100 years after he's dead, his website is still really beefing him up as being in touch with the Renaissance.

What's a hashtag? He's dabbing. A lot of his had backed to Dublin in 1901. Hugh Lane viewed an exhibition of paintings by Nathaniel Hone and John Butler Yeats, who was the father of many artists, including poet William Butler Yeats. Ever heard of him? Hugh Lane was so impressed by the exhibition that he began a campaign to establish a gallery of modern art here in Dublin. The further his campaign in 1904, Lane organised the first of exhibition of contemporary Irish

art abroad in London and was a big success. And from that he decided to ask famous Irish artists to donate work to kick off his own collection, as well as commissioning new paintings, and donating stuff from his own collection, including work by Manet, Degas and Renoir, all absolutely top French impressionists. Matt is also an absolutely top French impressionist. Matt, can we hear some of your French impressions now?

Are we? I do question if they were really top artists because if they were they'd be Ninja Turtles. That is true. That is true. It's a very good point. You're not part of the big fool who are you? Yeah. So he opened the Municipal Gallery of Modern Art in Dublin in 1908.

The following year he was knighted at the age of just 33. And in 1914 he was appointed director of the National Gallery of Islands. Everything was going well, but sadly, all good things must come to an end. On May 1st, 1915, Lane, as well as 1958 other people, boarded the RMS Lucytania in New York City. They know what happens, but I do not. It sounds bad. They're going to have a good time.

Oh, nice. Of course. Lovely. They were bound for Liverpool, Lane had been to New York and business selling two paintings to a wealthy industrialist. This was 1915, so during World War I and Germany had declared it would open fire on any ship ship military or otherwise that it encountered outside the British Isles. The German Embassy even published a warning notice in 50 US newspapers warning travelers of the risk of crossing the Atlantic. These ads sometimes run opposite pages advertising the Lucytania cruise. I'm a single dollar page friend.

Come! It's a beautiful cruise over here. We will destroy that cruise. That is the end of age red. Come! It's a beautiful cruise over here. We will destroy that cruise. Crazy. But thankfully you're happy to hear this Jess. The journey went off without a hitch and she was nearing the end of her journey just 11.5 miles or 19 kilometers of the old head of Kin Sale, the south of Cork, when she was spotted by a German U-boat, which is basically submarine. The U-boat fired one, possibly two torpedoes. It's very debated. I got lost in the debate about it.

Into the side of the Lucitania, for the passengers and crew, the attack came from nowhere. One passenger said, quote, it sounded like a million ton hammer hitting a steam boiler 100 feet high, which is a very specific description. I mean, that sounds like a suspiciously specific. That was hard to say. With a giant hole in her side. Oh, the Lucitania Sank in just 18 minutes. And of the 1959 people on board, 1198 were killed, including our main man, Hugh Lane. Sorry, just to wind back a sec. 18 minutes.

18 minutes. I mean, would you prefer... Two more or three less? You prefer it faster or slower? Honestly, I don't think both sort of adhere to that rule. Well, they should. That's a good point. That's a very good point.

Just take 20. You fucking boat. You dumb boat. Yeah. Lane was dead and he had a large collection of art. In his world he left 39 paintings to quote- Oh no. You don't have one long line around.

In his world he left quote 40 paintings to the people of Ireland. This is known as the Hugh Lane Collection. Many of these 39 or 40 paintings were considered significant, and it was fantastic news for all of Ireland. So you guys just like take turns. Just like share it around, have it again. Yeah, that's awesome, that's great. But there was one problem.

Hugh Lane hadn't had anyone witness the will. One problem. Make it four more problems. LAUGHTER LAUGHTER APPLAUSE I know it. Should explain it on Aussie.

I was about to explain to the enthusiastic people we've never seen the show before, but they have left. They're not there. What are we doing? Okay. They're coming back. Jess has got a weird thing about numbers or something. I don't really get it.

I don't really understand. You probably piece that together. Fancy looking drink. You want us to stop addressing you a lot? Because yeah, okay. The way you're covering your face makes it look like you don't want us to be talking to you right now. And we're reading that. We're seeing that in you. And we're responding to our empathy. Yeah. I can't wait to see if we get it. We're going to stop talking to you. Okay. Because we know it's making you uncomfortable, we don't want to do that.

Yeah, where are you from with your name? Yeah. Let's bring her up on stage. No, no, no. I was kidding. No, no, no. Absolutely kidding. I'm real alone.

So sorry about that. So what do we call you? Yeah. It'd be easier to apologize to someone with a name. On stage. All right. All right. So he's willing to be in a witness,

meaning that a previous will was considered legitimate. The previous will was made in 1913, when after his plans for a new gallery in Ireland were rejected, things got pretty nasty. Lane cracked it and organised instead to donate his collection to the National Gallery in London. Oops! It's too easy. It's like you say anything like Ireland and they're like, WOOOOOO! I know! And this next bit's going to really piss you off. So the National Gallery agreed to accept them, but not

right away, but soon. They also made note that they didn't think many of the paintings were worth hanging. Turning up their noses at paintings by Monet and Renoir. Yeah, they really know a good thing those English people. They're just little dots. And this is why most people think Lane went back on the agreement and changed his will back to leave the paintings to Ireland.

On the condition of suitable gallery, we built a house. But now Lane was dead, the National Gallery were more than happy to take the previously unhangable paintings off his cold dead hands. So they put them on display at the famous Tate Gallery. Understandably, there was uproar in Ireland, people claiming that Lane had said to many people that he wanted the paintings estate at his home country, but sadly for you, the law was on the side of the English. I've literally got written here, pause for booing.

You can't really do this. He's in your heads. So London put the paintings on display and argued that if Lane had seen the extension of the tape gallery, he would have changed his mind in one of them displayed there anyway. As you can hear here, just so the English gallery continued to show the paintings, but some Irish would never forget. So 41 years ago, past when we cut to 1956, we meet 21-year-old Dubliner Paul Hogan. What? What's that?

We meet 21-year-old Dubliner Paul Hogan. Paul Hogan. Paul Hogan. Paul Hogan. Yeah. Paul Hogan. You've got your own hogs over here. Wow, did he also paint the Sydney Harbour Bridge? Yeah, good local references, all right, here we go.

So we've got the original Paul Hogan, some calling. All right, and about that. And here's my Billy. Hogan, now Hogan was alive then. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Let's have a hogs off. Yes. All right. Let's...

We'll listen about this poor Hogan, and we'll decide who's the better poor Hogan. Yeah. Let's find out which one played crocodile Dundee. Let's find out. Let's find out. Let's find out who played Croc Dundee better. I reckon it was the hour one. That's not a Hogan. This is a hogan. Thank you. I mean, all you got to do is bang the English and say lines from films.

I'm flying, Jack. Doesn't need context. So Paul Hogan, he's made Billy Foggety from Galway. Sure it'd have been four decades but Hogan wasn't going to let the injustice slide any longer. He was an art student and used this to be able to get closer to the paintings. He and his mate Foggety cased the take gallery while pretending to sketch the very paintings that were planning to steal. They settled on, Huaditette, or Somersday by French Impressionist,

Bertha Morisseau. Just say Somersday, then, I reckon. I mean... Don't attempt. I should have tried. Well, I did, and I failed. You did, you failed. Ms. Walsh. I shouldn't have failed, as long as.

I painted it in 1879, and it depicts two women seated in a boat, and at the time was worth 10,000 pounds. Nothing to scoff at in the fifties. These days, it's worth about 8 million pounds. Oh, it's a lot of pounds. It's not very big, I don't know. That's about a trillion Australian dollars.

Yes, it really is. It's... I fucked Ivano. LAUGHTER Uh-oh. I don't even know. LAUGHTER Fuck, Ivano. I don't know if they might pick that up, but that was you're not in England now,

and my retort is we never were. We haven't been there yet. So it's not a big painting, either. It's 45 by 75 centimetres. Hogan's plan was to grab the painting off the wall and then run towards the gallery's exit with it under his arm. This is the Real Ocean's 11 bullshit. All right, I'm going to grab it. I'm going to run it at door.

He was sure he'd be stopped, but he knew the incident would get the conversation about the proper place of the paintings kick-started. So he hired a photographer to stand there and take his photo as he attempted to steal it. Yeah, great. He's a PR man. So he grabbed the painting and walked towards the exit as planned. But nobody stopped him.

He walked out of the building and still no one stopped him. Suddenly, he was outside with a painting under his arm, which was famously called on camera, because he had the friend taking the photo. But he hadn't planned for this. He had no idea what to do. He planned for the photographer to catch him being arrested or fighting off security, not just casually strolling down a London street with a painting under his arm. The two Irish kids had no real knowledge of London, so they got into a black cabin asked them to take them to the first place that they could think of, which was Picardilly Circus.

Luckily, the night before Hogan had met an Irish slass at a bar, a girl called Martha, and they went around to her flat, and she agreed to let them hide the painting under her bed. You're right, it's real ocean of the 11th stop. Meanwhile, the crime was reported in the photo of Hogan running down the steps with the painting under his arm was in newspapers across the country. The officer in charge of the investigation was a certain DCI McGraw and Irish police officer who... Did you just boo?

Is it because he's a police officer? Well, because he's named McGraw. That's very specific. I... Police officer in England? Oh, that is quite specific. McGraw had experience with this kind of case as a few years earlier, he solved what is the funniest sounding case of all time to me, the case of the missing stone of stone.

Where four Scottish students had removed the stone of stone. That's actually the stone of stone. This fucking guy. Anyway, on the run, the two Irish lads asked Mary, who I called Martha before, anyway, to leave the painting at the Irish Embassy in London, and it was soon returned to the tape gallery. The boys were still on the run, until Irish cop DCI McGraw discovered that the pair were making a run for the Liverpool Ferry. And Ferry.

Yeah, that's very different. Yeah. The Liverpool Ferry. And you know, the McGraw is a good cop because he called up Paul's mother and told her that he was deciding to let them go. Oh, I need it. He didn't catch him. He didn't catch him.

She's been a hero. Yep, I decided to let him go. It was on me. I made that call. Yep, always the plan. These days, the paintings are still technically owned by the tape, but they have come to a compromise with a Hugh Lane gallery here in Dublin. 31 of Lane's 39 paintings have been on long-term, I'm so sorry. I mean on long-term, long-term, to the Hugh Lane gallery here in London, whilst

the real jewels in the collection, including the mayonnaise, the daggers, bizarras and monnais, travel back and forth between Dublin and London every six years. Oh, that was about to sound impressive. If it was months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds, then I'm impressed. Years, your Mayas will not have said that. You wanted to be every six minutes? You've wasted that. Now that's not worth it. That's interesting. Yes. I'm the most famous man. What are the six of that? Tell me, now that's not worthy. That's interesting. Yes. Or did you six of that? Wow. Tell me more. Oh, you should.

Six years. OK. What I'm talking to you, the most recent rotation was, about two months ago. Oh! All right. Thanks for going with me. I needed that.

I needed that. But that's the story of the Hugh Lane painting rubbery. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Dave Hornichey. Thank you. But that's the story of the Hugh Lane painting rubbery. Damn monarchy! Thank you. Not a bad little tale. You know, if you're into that sort of children's play. But now we're going to get a little more adult. I'm so scared.

What have you picked? Mr. Hanson. Yeah, the Irish Mr. Hans. So instead of a horse, it's an Irish horse. LAUGHTER I feel like there's no way but Dublin where hecklers are funny. It doesn't happen anywhere else. It's real sad. It's like the worst. Shut the fuck up, but here it's like, oh, I'm made.

Please shut up. We're trying to be funny, you're the new. You're embarrassing us. My question to get us on topic is, what boozy disaster in Dublin claimed the lives of 13 people in the 19th century? It's a cheerful tale, yes. Boosy disaster. I'll give you a clue.

It's four words. The first two are the Dublin. Okay. Okay, we've got a half, yes. The third is a type of alcohol, and the fourth is a type of disaster. We have a few hours. We're in Belgium. Whiskey. Yes? Oh. Okay, now a type of what? Disaster. Please, I mean, whiskey. Yes? Oh, okay, now a type of what?

Disass. Oh, please, I mean tsunami. Tornado. That would be amazing. I mean, it's not far off, but it's also a mile off, but yeah. The Dublin, whiskey. Good. Yeah, both of those are true.

Massacre. Massacre. Massacre. That would be amazing. I would fire up, so you would be fire up. Oh, the flight is also right, strangely. Yeah, it's a fire flood. This was suggested by Rob from Dublin. Rob, yeah? Is that Rob here?

Happy to claim it. Yep. The story begins around 8pm on the 18th of June, 1875 in the Liberties, which is just two kilometres from here. We walked through it yesterday. You wondered why? Well, this is why And also because you said my topics from around here And we went all right So in the Liberties at Reed's Malt House and Mullowns Bonded Warehouse on a Chamber Street

They both caught fire Okay, so is it? Yeah, it's the car. It's the car. I'm going to go on a more detail, but that's basically the story. OK. According to a report in the illustrated London News at the time, boo, the...

LAUGHTER Yeah, we hate illustrations here. LAUGHTER Just give us the words. We can make it up in our minds. There's something wrong with you. Apologies in advance for the currency, but at the time I'm afraid you were using the pants. No, I don't hate look on. I'm sorry. It was a dark, beautiful, but at the time I'm afraid you were using the pound, so.

No, I don't hate, look, I'm sorry. It was a dark few centuries there where those cunts... LAUGHTER All right. I reckon we could get this crowd to, like, kill people who we wanted. It's him, he did it! I reckon we could get this crowd to like kill people. We want to see it. It's him, he did it. So this is a quote from a news report at the time.

The former, talking about Malone's Bonded Warehouse and Rees Malt House. So is it a haunted warehouse or bonded? Bonded. I don't know what it means. But it said that in every source. and reads multi house. So is it a haunted warehouse or bonded? Bonded, I don't know what it means, but it said that in every source, it called it Malone's Bonded Warehouse. That sounds like a terrible infomercial.

Come on down to Malone's Bonded Warehouse. Anyway, the former... The former had around 2,000 pounds worth of molten it and the latter, which immediately adjoins it, had 5,000 barrels of whiskey worth 54,000 pounds. One more thousand. Well, back then that was what it was worth. The Irish examiner estimates the modern equivalent to be 6.5 million in the correct euros. The fire ripped through the...

Imagine... Imagine... applauding your currency. LAUGHTER Imagine! I've never, ever heard someone say Australian dollars and just like cried. I've never done it. Never. Never. I've not lived. Obviously, I've not lived.

I mean, did you remember this? Sorry, when it was past. Is that Australian dollar open? I'm sorry. I must go on. I must. I must go on. I must. I'm... I just think about little 5 cent pieces.

Oh my god. It's so cute. They got a little... A kidness on them? Yeah, that sounds right. Do you know? No. Kidness.

Walla Bees. Alright, the fire ripped through the... Oh. Started that sentence with a lot of gas, starting. Wrong tone, wrong tone, wrong tone. Um. The fire ripped through the properties. Bersing open the casks that held the booze.

These should be bursting open the casks. This center river of whiskey cascading onto the surrounding streets. CHEERING CHEERING Three, two, one. LAUGHTER surrounding streets. Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh, that's not good. Before the fire... Before the fire brigade arrived to try and deal with it, crowds already gathered around collecting the liquor and any vessel they could find. LAUGHTER The way... LAUGHTER CHEERING They're emptying the fish bowl to make.

LAUGHTER They brought pots, buckets, jars, and failing that, used their hats. It's the liquid still on fire. Yes. You can't hear how I try to scoop up fire. Within hours, fire had torn through the houses down one side of Mill Street. Shops went as well, including a tannery, leading to an overbearing stench of burnt leather in the air.

Oh, there's only one thing worse than that, and that's burnt leather. And I say that from experience. A lot of friction. Now you're on a timeout for that one. Turn that way. Come on. I don't say anything gross. Stop pointing at the nice people. Sorry. Sorry. The fire was heading straight for the coom maternity hospital. Am I saying, all right, coom? Yep. Someone gave me a slight note there. Coom. Because I don't know.

So I was heading straight for that maternity hospital before I changed in the direction of the wind saved it. Apparently the papers at the time called this an active god. Though as an historian and former Dublin firefighter, less fallen observed that the same act of God destroyed a role of House's opposite. LAUGHTER

He works in mysterious ways. You know? Dublin in 1875 looked very different than it does now, and apparently, maybe it looked on different than it does now, and apparently many, look on five. And they had pounds. Oh, yuck. Apparently many people kept livestock back then, and as the examiner writes, the presence of cart horses and pigs maddened by heat added further to the pandemonium.

Oh no. The pigs had maddened by heat. Actually, I'm a bit like that. If I get too hot, why shut down? That's not funny. It's just a truth about me. Let her in. That's feel nice. Yeah, there were many dogs kept as pets. Different time. One such dog reportedly took its own life. Okay, now you're on a timeout. We're just going to sit here and silence for a bit. Dear, I ask how.

Let me tell you. The Irish Times reported that the case of canine suicide occurred when, quote, a dog ran through an open door of the home of William Air on Dominic Street Upper. The animal was foaming at the mouth and evidently either rabid or suffering from delirium tremmins at the hands of the laptop whiskey. The paper goes on, the dog dashed madly about the house knocking over furniture and attacking

the homeowner. When Mr. Air fended the dog off using an iron bar, the animal ran upstairs, jumped from the top floor window and quote, terminated its existence in the road below. I wasn't sure whether or not to include that. And how do you feel about that decision now? Justified. Yeah. Does anyone get the feeling that Mr. Air has thrown a dog out of window?

I tried, I don't know. It jumped, I don't know. It jumped, it was crazy. I tried to save it with an iron bar, even that wasn't enough. That's fucked. Amongst all the chaos, many of those collecting the alcohol were drinking it there and then. Why? It's like when you get flaming shots. Yeah.

Remember to blow them out. Yeah, you got to blow them out. Newspaper reports at the time spoke of two porters named Helian McNulty being, found, quote, lying insensible in a lane off Cork Street with their boots laying beside them. In a lane of cork street with their boots laying beside them evidently they had used their footwear as receptacles Very so sure on the shui do a shui a Australian tradition. I am not doing a shui These are the finest plethora money can buy. These are the jacuzzi.

LAUGHTER That's right, you will regret that. He went real sheepish, it was the best. I did my mum face. Was that right? Oh, is that right? Do you want to have a thing about what you just said? Oh, is that right?

Oh, is that a good idea? Well, that's a good question. I'm going to just turn it. I'm going to just turn it. It's a disappointment, actually. Go to your room. The Dublin Fibergate was led by Captain James Robert Ingram. He was experienced and had previously, I can't believe he didn't get around of applause.

He's a bloody goddamn Dublin hero. He was experienced and had previously worked for the New York Fire Department. He was a Dublin man, but he went over and worked in New York and then came back to head up the Dublin Fire Department. Ingram was known for his unconventional strategies. Apparently when a ship was on fire and Dublin harbour, he put out the fire by having the ship sunk. LAUGHTER

LAUGHTER It is literally surrounded by water. It makes sense. Problem solved. Next. I like it. Yeah, I like it too. I like it thinking.

I wonder if that, yeah, he probably couldn't have dealt with many fires that way. Yeah. They were, and the boats, it's a kitchen fire. Do I mean, did you have to sink the whole thing? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, okay. All I work in mysterious ways.

In this scenario, Ingram, with the whiskey fire, Ingram knew that he couldn't simply put the fire out with water. Downtown Dublin was too big to drop in the ocean. So... He tried, by God, he tried. But also, he knew that if he hose the fire, the water would just sink below the flaming whiskey and all of a sudden the fire whiskey

would be floating faster through the streets. Yeah, right. So it was, luckily, it was smart enough to know that because other people in the town were trying to put it out with water and it was just making the fire spread quicker. Instead, he used things like gravel, sand, and even horse manure. He ordered that all the horse manure in the city

be brought to the liberties, where it was used to create dams, and it successfully started soaking up the burning river of whiskey. So now it smells like burning shit. Burning whiskey shit. We've all had one of those. Oh, we're flashing forward to my morning tomorrow. On the way here, Al, Capt. Hover was complaining about when he went on a Scandinavian cruise

that when the lady found out that he was Irish, he said, oh, you'll be wanting to upgrade the drinks package then. He's like, we're not all drunks. I'm starting to think that he was lying. He also called, and he taught us this word, he called that one. You better say it properly. A gobb-shate. And it's honestly that's when my top five words now. And it's honestly that's when my top five words now. Just after Glockensheel for me. He was telling us about an American lady who had done an impression of an Irish person and he said, oh, you're sounding like a gobb-shite.

And she said, what's that? And he said, well, you're beating one now. This is the same car I was talking about earlier that had a thing in the back saying how to ride in a limousine. Yeah, we travel in Seoul. Yeah. It took hundreds of members of the police force army in Fire Brigade to get the fire under control. Are they just shooting in the street now? Yeah. The place else has been called in. The fire horses, the army horses, and yep that's all of them. Just the

horses, the race horses, my little pony club. You know all of them were in there shitting everywhere and it was beautiful. It was beautiful. But it's a pity you're Irish, alright. But, um, though, those groups were later commended for their bravery. The damage done was extensive, though, with buildings on Milstreet, Arty Street, Chambers Street and Cork Street all destroyed, as well as many nearby businesses. On top of this, of the 5,000 barrels of liquor, only 61 were recovered. Most of them going in the fire, but some disappearing under suspicious circumstances. With the Irish time saying at the time, three casks were rolled into the womb, and the result was that six men were arrested in a beastly state

of intoxication. Oh, which arm? Old ring on, yeah. Yeah. Several more being conveyed to hospital, so they were dropping. 13 people died during the fire. How many dogs? Countless dogs.

At the time Lord Mayor Peter Paul McSwiney told an ass... Which I assume was a pig. Peter Paul McSwiney told an assembled meeting it was amazing the death toll wasn't higher. Of the deaths, none resulted from the flames or even smoke inhalation, instead, as the Irish Times reported, each succumbed to alcohol poisoning. From drinking, quote, freely of the derelict whiskey, Mermak Swini, McSwini, said the alcohol-related deaths would have likely happened in quote, any city where there.

He would have happened anywhere, right? He's drunk right now. Any city where there was a tendency to indulge in moderately in drink? Oregon Melbourne would be in trouble. In the present case, the unfortunate, this is still him quoting him, in the present case, the unfortunate victims apparently could not restrain themselves as I understand from the burning fluid.

But this topic has been suggested by someone who I'm pretty sure is here. Derek Hubergan. Derek? Oh, okay.

Oh, my friend, all right. It was the chatty Kathy over there. Fucking fucking Derek. Yeah, oh yeah, okay. It's not too late to change a topic. Yeah, I think I'll just riff it. You're great Derek. No, but when he suggested a Derek wrote specifically for the Irish live show A lot of people aren't aware of the story behind our most famous export and then in brackets he wrote that isn't bono

famous export and then in brackets he wrote that isn't bono. BONO! Why are you going to hate this because I'm doing bono? Strap in cards! I'm so sorry, I'm very sorry. I can't wait to hear about the edge, let's hear it. Oh, one of the other two. The edge is English. Fuck off.

Do you know that? I did it and I wrote this report. They started at the edge. They started at the edge. They started at the edge. They started at the edge. They started at the edge. They started at the edge.

They started at the edge. They started at the edge. They started at the edge. They started at the edge. They started at the edge. They started at the edge. They started at the edge. They started at the edge. They started at the edge. They started at the edge. They started at the edge. We should do more shows very late at night. Is it what time is it?

It's like ten. You're not cheering for the concept of time. This is insane. No, I'm pretty sure they were cheering me getting naked. No, anyway. That's my hip. I'm going to go quickly through this because we are overtime and also they hate bono. Is that true? Do you really dislike bono?

I mean... What? Are you talking to me? You're so quiet! you brought up Bono? Guys, I mean, you sound pretty upset with Bono, but what do you got to remember? He moves in mysterious ways. I'm gonna just breeze through it. Oh man, I'm excited.

So you're alright, Uh, he's named Paul Paul David Houston. Are you booing Paul now? Anyone who's Paul APPLAUSE He was born here in Dublin in 1960, and his mother, Iris, was a member of the Church of Ireland, his father, Brendan, was Roman Catholic, and they agreed that their first child would be raised Anglican in the second Catholic,

the logistics of which baffle me. LAUGHTER What the fuck does their Sunday look like? LAUGHTER So his mother was... LAUGHTER I didn't hear that, but they didn't like it. How does their Sunday look like? So is... His mother was... I didn't hear that, but they didn't like it. His mother was an Irish woman named Aorus from the Church of Ireland.

Yes. That's pretty fucking Aorus. Aorus from Aorus. Ironen. Do I do the accent? I wasn't doing the accent. It doesn't end well when you do that. My mum was actually in iconos, so it's okay. Alright mate. Thought you were one eighth Swiss Italian.

No, it's one sixteenth, I believe. You're really pick and choose. Yeah, I'm many sixteenths. I once, the first time I traveled I was backpacking, you know, I was in Prague, and I was, you know, dorm with an Irish person. I said, oh, most of my heritages from Ireland, and she said, who gives a fuck? Oh, my God! It's a very good point. It's a very good point.

She was a family Irish people get that all the time. So much, too much. But have we mentioned that we both have Irish heritage? So. I don't. We know, German. Did you know that growing up, Bonaugn, his friends were part of a surrealist street gang?

Oh, yeah, and I'm sorry to hate him as well. The fuck is this real history game? Do you know what that is? No. Just sounded like a lot of teenagers they love to give each other nicknames and Matt do you want to have a go at this one? Oh. This is Bono's first nicknames. his first nickname. Stein Heg Van Heiss and no bang, bang, bang. That's catchy. Yeah, it didn't stick for some reason. Then it got followed by Houseman, Bonn Murray, Bonn-O-Vox of O'Connell Street, and finally

just Bonn-O. It's going to be a long night, if we. Let me get through and we can all get the fuck out of here. Why don't Vox mean something like, boy vocals or something, right? Um... Good voice. Good voice. And it was actually...

Well, when I say boy, same as good. Women bad. Oh, man. Sorry, as a feminist, I'm allowed to make that joke. Mm-hmm. Probably the best feminist in the room, to be honest. Plenty of ladies. Let's hear what I've got to say.

There's a little bit of a real great face. Just for you. All right, so in the mid-70s, here are his friends, David Evans, the edge. His brother Dick and Adam Clayton. Are you cheering Dick? I don't get this place. I love it so much. They saw an ad on a bulletin board posted by a guy called Larry Mullin, Jr.

Looking for people to form a rock band, and the group got together for occasional jam sessions, but they weren't very good at covering other bands, so they decided to write their own songs. They're not good at playing already written songs, so they thought we'll just write our own then. That is Classical Larry Mullins, Jr. Classic. They're band, they named their band Feedback, but they changed it after a few months due to some negative criticism. I'll be honest, when I wrote that, I was alone in my house and I typed in and I went, worth it. No one was around, I was like, there's no one to check with. So, you mean if you turned right, there was someone there, right?

So, before you kill me? Hear this. What do you think of this joke? It may be my legacy. So they changed their name to the hype until Dick Evans left the band to form another band, Virgin Prunes. Wow, these are all awful.

The hype is actually worse than Virgin Prunes, or all awful. Yeah. The hype is actually worse than Virgin Perunzer again. Yeah. And then when Dick left the band, they changed their name to you, too. Yeah. We've got some fans of the hype here. I've got a beautiful quote here as well, because Bono took to writing the songs, and he was playing with guitar and an interview in

1982 he said when we started out I was the guitar player along with the edge except I couldn't play guitar I still can't I was such a lousy guitar player that one day they broke it to me that maybe I should sing instead I had tried before but I had no voice at all. I remember the day I found I could sing. I said, oh, that's how you do it. This guy is a billionaire. I can't string together a sentence. That's why you hate him. It's tall poppy syndrome. I get it. He'll still occasionally play rhythm guitar or harmon, oh, who cares? Okay, so anyway, back to 1978, you two won a talent contest in Limerick.

Oh, here. I can't see. I can't see. I just made the screen go weird. The bono curse. They want a talent contest and the prize consisted of, I don't want to say the currency. Oh no, not Dong. Not Dong.

Not Mousy Dong. Jabba Lee. What country uses Moussey Dong as currency? Vietnamese Dong. Oh, Dong, that's hot. I love that. You love Dong? I love Dong. Alright.

They won. Hang on a second. They won 500 pound and studio time. How many dollar do you do? I know, that's probably 40 grand I don't know. God we suck. And they also want some studio times they could go record a demo and so they went they went to record their demo tape at Keystone Studios in Dublin in April of 1978 and it was no good. Their demo was very bad.

Still are. And they were, because they were young and they were really nervous so they didn't do a great job. But luckily, they're introduced to Paul McGinnis who agreed to be their manager the following year and they continued to build their fan base with performances across Ireland.

But I'm not just talking about you too today, I'm talking about Bono. And we love. Isn't we this so patriotic about everything Irish? Everything! Euros! And I hate Bono! It's so confusing! Namen are another orange person, you can't!

You can't do it! And yeah! Oh really? Yeah, she's got a shirt done and yeah, damn it! A certain... Actually only 14, 16, so... What about Harry Kane or something? Soccer Larry Kane.

Robbie Kane. Yeah big fan of his big fan of Robbie Kane. The way of the things he could do with the ball. Go the St Patrick Patrick's St. St. All right. Which you're a local team in one of the sporting competitions. This is something that you will enjoy. There was a bit of a shift in YouTube sound and focus. With their 1991 album, do you happen to remember what album? Actoon, baby! As a guess, as a guess, that's what I'm gonna say.

Do you say actoon, baby? Why do I keep fucking up with this? Which is actually a very German phrase, Dave. Yeah. Yeah, that means get out of here, baby. Something like that. Something into that effect. I can confirm that, because I am definitely German.

Loosely translated. When they were on tour with this album, Bono appeared on stage in character as a few of his stage personas. Let me tell you about him now. One of them's called like Mammic Feast. Mammic cheese? There's one where he wears devils horns and he's like grimace.

How about I just tell you about it? That. Birdie. No, no, it's the riddler. The hamburger. Fun buttons, McGee. Am I getting close? I don't know.

How about I tell you about them and then you tell me which one of those you were thinking of? Are something like maim agnostic or something? No. I hope he plays the edges dad. Just start telling off the edge. Go to bed, edge. Go to bed. B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b Just plays one note for solid four minutes. That's what they do isn't yeah basically No, so his character well one of them was the fly a leather clad egomaniac

It was a character. It was a character. Yeah, it was a parody. It was a parody He was parodying rock stardom. He often stayed in character away from the tour He's a method for several years at a time. Including for public appearances and when staying in hotels. He said, that rather cracked character could say things that I couldn't. Well, you did though, didn't you? You did say them. But then the next character was Mirabalman. Good names too. Mirabalman. You're kidding. Good names too.

Mirabal Man, he wore a shining silver suit with matching shoes and a cowboy hat. And he was a parody of greedy American televangelists, showmen and car salesmen, all in one. That's a fish in. He's taken them all. And he said that that character represented the kind of showmen America.

He had the confidence and charm to pick up a mirror and look at himself and give the glass a big kiss. I think he's lost it. And this is in 1991. Yeah. And yeah, but then, oh, okay, maybe this is what you were thinking of. Miracle man was replaced by McFaisto. Yeah, that's him. It's a parody of the devil. Oh, okay, maybe this is what you were thinking of. Miracle man was replaced by Mick Feistow. Yeah, that's him.

Man McFaster. It's a parody of The Devil. Yeah, that's him. Okay. If you see video of it, it's hard to watch. Yeah, it sounds like he wore a gold suit with gold platform shoes, pale makeup, lipstick, and devil horns. And he spoke with an exaggerated upper-class English accent.

and Devil Horns, and he spoke with an exaggerated upper class English accent. And in character, he would sing the closing song, Can't Help Falling in Love, with an oddly childlike manner that many reviewers found one of the most poignant moments of the show. I don't know if that's true or not. That's true, and top of the world, at this point they were, they could do no wrong. All of this stuff, it's like, yeah, when you're on fire, literally, and people will not piss on you. This is like, it's much like that,

but people wouldn't tell him no, I reckon. Yeah, so he's there. No ideas were bad ideas then. This is a man. Even though all of them sound like they were. Yeah, they're all bad ideas, but this is a man who has won 22 Grammys, terrifying. Three more or two less.

Thank you. That's you. Yeah, you get it. Yeah, fuck, I live and realise that. If you hadn't brought that up, I could have just gone on with my day. 22 is an awesome number. And also, in 2008, Rolling Stone rankedo the 32nd greatest singer of all time 32 Yes

Top 32 top 32 is pretty good 47 at a push We're gonna start right Oh, we're going to start right. Just breezing through. Did you know Bono and the Edge also wrote the music and lyrics for the Broadway musical Spider-Man Turn Off The Dark? Yeah, I hear it went really well. Why?

They also, do you know, they wrote the Golden Eye theme song? Dun, dun, dun dun dun. Thank you. And then I've got the 33rd best singer And this podcast yes, yeah True, yeah, it's true Okay, this is my maybe my favorite thing I've ever read in 2016 glamour magazines annual woman of the accolade was a little different

With them also awarding but I the title of man of the year No, no, no, let's hear them out. Let's hear what glamour had to say about this It sure he wasn't mirror ball man of the year. Yeah, this is what glamour said they said for the first time the awards also honor a man man. For years our women of the year advisory board has put the kibosh on naming a man of the year on the grounds that men aren't exactly hurting for awards in the world but that here at Glamour the tribe we're into celebrating is female. But these days, most women want men, no need men in our tribe. When the president declared himself a feminist, when super cool actors line up to endorse the United Nations hashtag he for Sheikampein and when a major male rock star who could do anything at all with his life decides to focus on the rights of women and girls worldwide. Well, all that's worth celebrating. We're proud to name

that Rockstar Bono is our first man of the year. Why? That is. That is should have been Milan. It's a good year for him 2016, I think. That is outrageous. Isn't that just so weird that they justify it like that? Just like, we just need men. We need men, and we need bono. We need specifically.

So weird. But anyway. I have no problem with any of that. As a feminist here, you get it. But finally, just to wrap it up, I skipped a big chunk there because I felt your distaste. I read it, and I went, well, I got to speak for a bit anyway, so I'm going to, but to bring it all together

in an interview earlier this year when asked about his achievements. Bono said that even after decades of performing to huge crowds all around the world, fighting injustice, raising a family, being Bono, and hoarding satsers. And hoarding satsers. fighting injustice, raising a family, being bono. And warning taxes. And warning taxes. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Yep. Did you hear what he said? Yeah. Was it good? LAUGHTER It might have fucked my punchline, to be honest. LAUGHTER Hey, guys, it would really help me out if you make it look like I didn't fuck the punchline.

I'm going to get my house kicked slow. That's true. So even after, yeah, all these decades of achievements and everything that he's done, he said that he still hasn't found what he's looking for. What? Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Fuck you Dave. That was a beautiful one. That's it, that's my problem. Can we please have it one of those?

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Can we just say you're technically cheering Bono in that moment? It's a Dublin guy. That's amazing. He's a Dublin's prick. Does he fuck? Is he fuck? Good question. Good question. Is that what he's... What are these characters, fuck? What does that mean? Oh no, I don't know. Is he fuck? Is he fuck?

What does that mean? It's not grammatically correct. Makes no sense. Is he fuck? What's that? Jess, you asked me that question. Makes you sound like a real goob shot. LAUGHTER Well, I guess that does just about bring us to the end of the show. LAUGHTER

I thank you so much for coming out. Hang in there. Put it. Oh, thank you. I thank you, I thank you, I thank you. Really, I thank you. CHEERING Oh, thank you. I thought you were talking. I'm really better. Thank you. Oh, thank you. I thought you were giving me notes on how to thank you.

You should say thank you, Shuggy. Which, I, which we agree. Thank you so much for coming out to the Shuggy club. What a great venue, by the way. This is very cool. APPLAUSE Um, yeah, seriously, you appreciate you being here first of a time for us doing a show in Ireland and you came out and packed it out. We do appreciate that so much.

It's crazy to us that we get to come here and do this show for you. So thank you so, so much for coming here. Give yourselves another round of applause. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Thank you. And that does bring us to the end of the show. So for another week, thank you so much. And until next time, I'll say. That was so good. Oh man. Wild with a capital while. It was nice that we sat here as well and we listened to it in full together

Holding hands. I really laughed at my own jokes. None of yours. No, I know I noticed that and it hurt twice Yeah, twice is nice. Yeah, I like it when day hurts me But let's be genuine for one moment. We are recording this in leads our three shows of the Krishmish to her under our belt. And we've met a lot of people already and we just want to say thank you to everyone that's come out. Oh man, it's been so lovely meeting everyone and God, you do know how to line up in the UK, you know? They know how to queue.

They know how to queue. They know how to queue. They know how to queue. They know how to queue. They form an orderly line and they chat to us and they're absolutely lovely. So big, big thank you to everybody who's coming out and supporting us. Makes sense, the queueer is from here. So, it all adds up is that a pun.

We're still not sure. No, probably. Still not sure. Someone explained it to me tonight. I've already kind of forgotten. He made it sound both simple and complex. Exactly. Ah, the English.

But yeah, no, it's been really, really nice. So we appreciate it very much. And that Dublin crowd was one of the radios crowds. Well, probably the radios crowd we've ever performed to. And that was fun. That was so fun. Walking out to that wall of sound hitting you, them just screaming. It's a shame that we didn't really capture it very well on the recording because actually

a couple people died and I don't think you could hear that in recording but it was that louded to or more people died. The eardrums burst and then after that their heart exploded. Yeah and I exploded and I got reformed by their love. It was amazing. It was amazing if you weren't there to see it. Honestly. Honestly, I'm now reformed.

Honestly, he's a lot nicer. Yeah, actually it was a whole new thing for me. He born again. I'm a born again. Matt. Matt, Matt's Jim. You too can be a born again, Matt. Matt's to's gym. You too can be a born again, Matt. Matt's to at comedy.com.

I should write a book, and then I'll turn it into an audio book. In a way, isn't podcasting an audiobook? Unscripted audiobooks. Oh my god. This is an improvised audiobook. It's an audio book. I'm doing it. It's happening.

Oh my god. It's so nice to watch you live your dream. Oh my god. It feels so good to be in my dream. Chapter 240. There's so many chapters. Three different local breweries gave me beers tonight. Yeah.

They leads is like some beer lovers heaven Leeds is love like it's so nice. It's such a cool city. Hmm city. Yeah. Yeah, so it's quite a big place. Hmm It's a beautiful town. Beautiful. Can I explore it? When that kid or woman or person in the crowd said, that was real fun. That was great. That was culture. I was thinking that I was referencing something from the show they just heard, but that was something from the show we just did. We just did. And you may hear that in the coming weeks.

Yes, this a little bit of season for you. Unless the tape is lost. Oh We just did. And you may hear that in the coming weeks. Yes, this is a little bit of sizzle for you. Unless the tape is lost. Oh, did something go wrong? Oh, good of. Oh, you just been a loof. Well, is there a right? For a cost, I could maybe find that tape again. You want me to pay you?

You put a blackmailer's. I mean, it would be terrible if that tape were to catch fire. It would be real. I'll be a real shame. real shame. It's sort of Caught a mischief. Caught a mischief. Okay, Matt. Yeah, I'll give you some money. I'm unrelated. Can I please borrow your wallet for a moment? Yeah We have fun. So what we normally do at the end of the episodes is talk about some of our favourite people in the world. Yes. And world, yeah. Also our favourite people in the words. And I feel that. I stand by that. I never miss speak. I just

accidentally say what I meant. What you meant. Well, What we normally do when we're thinking some of our favourite people who support us at patreon.com such to go on pod. Yes. The first group of people we like to think is in our favourite section of the show. It's called the do go on. The do go time. It's called the do go on. Fact quote or question.

Section. And it goes a little something like this. Go to the do-go on fact-quotal question section. And it goes a little something like this. Come in to really with the ding there Dave. You've been doing that lately. I'm sorry to bring it up now. I have perfect rhythm. I don't know that you do because I say like question. They always forget the ding.

A little super Nintendo charm as quote there. As long as we're having fun and This week in the fact quote a question segment like every week We like to shout out a couple of patrons who are on the Sydney Shahnberg deluxe level Patreon rest in peace section of our patreon and they get to give us a factor quote or a question. Also get to give us a title. And this week, I'd love to thank Katarina Gutarez.

Dave? Where are we looking? Katarina. Gutarez. Gutierez? Gutierez. OK, that's quite different what I said. Thank you so much Katerina who has called herself the CEO of Jess Perkins Industries. Oh interesting.

Oh you were bought out early. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you for assuming I was bought out. Wow. I mean great. Oh I haven't seen you. I mean you've sold out. You've just got someone who's running the corporate. I love that because I do like admin but only to a certain time you're bought out a lot though. Yeah, he's like in the dot com bubble So am I like very wealthy now? Extremely good luck running Jess Perkins industries without me. What are you selling? Jess Perkins is there's's only one. And she just sold. And Katarina has chosen a question,

which is one of the options in the fact, quote or question section. And her question is, that's off time. And like always, I haven't read these ahead of time. So it's fun for all of us. And Katarina writes, I have a question for each of you.

Oh, Bob. Yes. This one goes to you. Thank you. Are these quick fire, do you think? Hands on buzzers. Okay, great. Bob.

Yes. Ding. You're names of your buzzers. Okay. First of buzz in. Is my buzzer Bob, though? Yeah, and this one is a question to you. Great.

So, Yes. Bob. Okay, this question for you, Bop. Would you rather have all numbers in your life ending in odds, IA53 instead of 55 or 50, or every time you, oh, this is a, which is a rather odd.

By the way, I don't know if they're all gonna be, would you rather, but this one is, would you rather all the numbers in your life ending odds, IA53 instead of 55 or 50, or every time you get sick, your sneezes sound like a duck quacking. Ha, sneezes are 100%. That sounds adorable. Yeah. Which is your brand.

Exactly. Wank. Wank. Wank. What, somebody step on a duck. It'll just be me. I don't know how to say it. I mean, I get sick a bit.

Yeah. But not sneeze, sneeze. Oh, it's not sneezes. I get like throat infections or, you know. Miningic. Every time you swallow, it sounds like a duck. You've got to care at your point. So that was easy for you.

Yeah, big time. And we have to go plus you. Yeah, you do. And nobody's allowed to tease me for it. No, it'd be cute. A little duck, that's so cute. Matt, I don't know you have to go, plus you. Yeah, you do, and nobody's allowed to tease me for it. Now, it'd be cute. A little duck, that's so cute. Oh, that's good. Oh, wish it was like that.

I'm gonna try doing that now. Matt, it was a tie. Yeah, that's so cute. After playing untitled goose game, now around my house, I just honk sometimes. It's fun. Honk. Honk.

Catarena asks me. You got a buzz in. Matt. Oh, I'll fill. Ah. Ah. Katarine asks me. You got a buzz in. Matt. Oh. I'll fill this one. Would you rather never be able to watch a saints game again or have Gary and Diana ban you from visiting for life? Oh.

Oh, that's a harder one. Bops was easier. Never be able to watch. So you can't even watch it on the telly. You can't watch it on the television. I feel like that's going to happen to you more. Yeah, you watch that weekly because I mean I've lived my life to this point without having visited Gary and Deanna. Yeah. I don't like this world you've created. Katarina. No, but I think there's an obvious solution. So Gary and Deanna, so I could be, I could stand outside of Gary and Yena.

You could still watch Gary and Yena on TV. Yeah, exactly. You could watch the railcats on TV. Yeah, so I could get a friend to go in there with some sort of a 3D camera, put on a VR headset and live virtually in Gary. Yes, I would never be able to do that for a Saints game. Exactly. So I think I'd have to say and it breaks my heart too, so I'd have to take the banning from Gary and Yena. Yeah, but I

wouldn't. I mean, it's a tough choice. Tough choice. And I would not choose to live in that world. No. And finally, Dave. All right, hand on buzzer. Buzz in. Would you rather lose the ability to read? Yes. I'm just buzzing in. Yeah, well, you've buzzed in, you don't get to hear the end of the question now. So answer the question. Answer the question. A or B.

B, let's see the options. Okay. A, would you rather lose the ability to read? But you've chosen B, gain a list, too difficult to understand on podcast. Please give us an example of what this sounds like. Death. No, two different words.

I can't understand that. I know, I'll send you. Death. Okay, it's just gonna be this and... Ah! Ah! And that's the option you've chosen. You want a sound like that. Because that's the end of our podcast. You want to sound like that.

Because that's the end of our podcast. Yeah, but then he can read. But if I can't read, we can't do... I just can't report anymore. Oh, yeah. But you also can't contribute jokes. Oh, yes. He can chip you if well-timed. And actually, here's a absolutely killing.

Like, he's so much funny, other than that. Really, really. That's another tough one, but I reckon. And the beauty is it means that he still gets the right reports. Yes, he can write them and we'll read them. We'll just read them, that's, that, that is a great scenario. Yeah, it's so good. Right, I picked that option.

Thanks so much, Katarina. Have I ever cut his tongue out? For supporting us here on the Patreon. Yeah, my hun. And secondly, I'd love to thank Travis Alexander, who has given himself the title of the only Travis in the world. Oh, Ricken. I don't know if that's true. No, Ricken. No, I don't know. Travis the band who's saying sang about what is it all was rain on him and also flowers in the window and also what about Travis Barker from Blink One eight. What about Travis from my work. Yeah, what about he's nice. Travis Alexander. Oh, no, that's him. That's the only Travis. That's the only Travis. I think all those Travis's are the same Travis. Yeah, same guy. There you go. Travis Alexander now of a sudden you've done all the things that Travis has done around your umbrella. Congrats. It's also a lot of responsibility. I hope no Travis has done anything bad. You know, hope we

don't have like a Travis like hit-remain. Oh Fuck that's so good. Is it yes? Yes, that's so good. We've been in England for too long. We love punks now We're half a day half a day. We're really punny mad And Travis has given us a fact. I love a fact. We love facts. I'll decide if it's fun fact. I love a fact. We love facts. I'll decide if it's fun. And he is written. I've shared this on the Patreon Facebook page before. So I've probably really seen it. So it's probably not that interesting then. Is it? Well, let's find out together. The worst-earing twice it might be. Yeah. He writes, I discovered not long after the episode came out that I have a somewhat interesting tie to the axe man of New Orleans.

My ancestor, my ancestor, bracket first cousin, comma, four times removed according to ancestry.com. Oh no, he's given his DNA to ancestry.com. That means you should never serial kill because I will find you. I'll find you easy. There's other reason why you shouldn't serial kill. Yeah, I'll find you. I'll find you easy There's other reason why you shouldn't serial kill. That's the main one though, but that is the main new main one He says this ancestor Was the head surgeon who treated a few of the ax man's victims his His name was Dr. Jerome E. Landry. And he seemed

to be very well known and liked by everyone. Oh, answers to that. Com tells you where the people are liked. There's a great uncle. He was a real dick. It gives him a rating out of a bunch of things. I'm imagining that he found out this guy's name and he's researched him further and he's found his Facebook profile. And Sistray just dot com's really up their game.

Wow. I can't get comfortable where we are. I'm just moving around a lot. In fairness, you are on the floor and we are both on a couch. Yeah, that's true, but that was my decision. Travis, that is a fun fact. That is interesting.

That's so interesting. How cool. is a fun fact. That is interesting. That's so interesting. How cool. What a good tie. And how annoying to find out a serial killer fact and now not be able to serial kill because... Yes. ...the grandest irony.

Oh, dear. Dear me, Travis. Oh, the cruel cruel irony. Yes. So, for the people who see this thing. I think we mentioned on a reason episode this video that is Long been viral at least in Australia about a man who was only trying to eat a succulent Chinese meal And we just we've been saying it over and over to each other. Ah, yes over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and A lot of instances where you can say yes to things. But we don't do that anymore. We say, oh yes.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Every meal has become succulent, let me tell you.

The macrosi manifest. Watch the video, stop this right now, it's way better than anything I'll ever say. You know, you have to Google succulent Chinese meal. Yeah, it will come up for you. It comes up, yep. An Australian hero. Without knowing enough about it, well, hopefully you didn't do anything too far. Well, I think the back story is he's being arrested there because he was trying to, what some people call, Dian and Dash, where you skipped the restaurant before we called it that. You were surprised when I called that a hundred times.

He was surprised. That's such an affluent ace to say. Dian and Dash. Well, I came from, I was called Dillon Arena. My dad still jokes about that. I had Dian and Dash. Oh, yes. My dad also did that. Yeah'd din and dash. Oh, yes. My dad will still do that.

And everyone's like, Bono, that's kind of copyrighted, Bono. That's already a thing. It's like, no, no, no, it's different because what it is is that I'm like a, it's called a house self, right? So I'm like a servant. But if you give me a sock that releases me. Yes, but this is ripped entirely Word for word from Harry Potter. I'm not a house self, then I'm a beach house self I'm a Port on my hand and my my stepdad is Sandy Cohen Is that different always the OC with you isn't it? Yes, it is always the OC with me.

And that doesn't matter what kind of bind it is. If it's legal, yeah, he's done law. And he knows what's going on. Maybe he serves in the morning, but in the afternoon, he's getting boys out of trouble. And boy, if you're in trouble, don't be afraid to knock on Sandy's door. If you're wondering, do I smear cottage cheese on a bagel? Yeah, you better believe

Sandy Cone's a man to go to. And there's so many other scenarios where I can help. But there are two of the ones that just came top of mind, Zachary Dobby Dobran. I'd also love to think from Baltimore MD, oh, medical doctor. Oh, wow. What does that mean? Mide soda? Mide soda?
