Speaker 3 (00:31):
Welcome all you bespokey dokies to the Daily Bespoke podcast and.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Coming up on the show. When he gets in here.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
It burn When he gets in here, it burns returned
to New Zealand with a brand new solo tourt Tragedy
plus time. When he gets here, he's coming in the
first thing I'm going to ask him when he gets
in here, what time do you call this? Yeah, that's
the first thing I'm going to say, what excuse me?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
What guse me? What time do you call this?
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Who is that?
Speaker 3 (00:59):
I'm just forgetting his name now, that Irish comedian that
we had and here that just sat over there drawing
a really negative picture and wouldn't ask our questions, answer
our question.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Moran, not Dylan, Dylan Moran, Dylan Moran, Dylan Morane.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Do you know Dylan Moran. I think Dylan Moranz. I
think he's not in a good space now right.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Because Dylan Moran then went on and did some shows,
which was interesting because some people said that they were
really really amazing, and other people said he was.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Just on stage being drunk. But I guess it's your expectations.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
If you go to Dylan Moran, maybe you just want
him on stage drunk, randing rating. But Dylan Moran did
not like us, did he.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
No, he didn't like us. I don't think he liked
anyone they.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
I was just reading about ed Byrne, who's been here
a lot over the years. I remember coming across him
for the first time, and the one I remember coming
across home, bigger partner, I remember coming across that. I
come across him, and the mid to late nineties.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Here, Oh okay, sorry for the first time. I should
have waited at the end of the sea.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
As a performer, he was always very popular, Yeah, very
popular with the ladies, which is quite interesting too. But
I was just reading about him. He comes from a
place called Swords.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Swords. Swords is w O r d S in Dublin.
Swords in Dublin, Yeah, And I was looking up.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
And I looked up as Swords in Dublin, a nice area,
and it said it was recently named the third best
town to live in an Ireland as well as Ireland's.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Second cleanest, second cleanest town and island. Yes, Swords, it's
actually really beautiful.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
It's got like it's got like a castle all sorts.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Of obviously about this other I was watching, you know,
as a saying on the podcast yesterday, I believe it
was about the trip, and I was they go to
all these small towns and there's these amazing towns in
Europe where there's a castle, like there'll just be a
town and then there's a castle, and we got nothing
here like that. I mean, we've got Larnet's Castle, but
that's good for a pounding on Miss County's menico.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
But about that, hold on, let's just be clear, there
was no Miss Counties. Monuco was not involved in the pounding.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
She was involved at the.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Pre function, but pre pounding she was doing table sucks
with the elbow.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
But anyway, my point is that we don't have that
kind of history here. It's so bizarre, and I always
want of people that come here over here from Europe,
everything must seem so new and knock together. I mean,
we've got great natural beauty episodes Ireland. It's beautiful, incredibly beautiful,
beautiful and so sodas England, but so does all of
(03:29):
you Ape actually, but they must be really because we
go over there and we go Oh my got a castle.
Oh my god, a beautiful old building.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
I can't believe this pub is from opened in the
year eleven hundred. They must come over here and go.
This feels very just thrown together at the last minute.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
This feels new. This feels like Ireland would have felt like,
and sort of seven hundred watch burnings, yeah, all that
sort of stuff.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
If I said to you summer and Dublin, yeah, what's
the temperature, like, you know, what is the temperature, that
would because I was just looking at what the temperature
is today in Dublin in summer, and it's just for me,
it's it's exactly the temperature that I always think of
whenever I think of Dublin.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
I've been to Dublin. Eighteen. That's that, that's exactly. Always
eighteen in summer. It's always eighteen in Dublin. Yeah, and
that's what it is today, eighteen and cloudy, yeah summer.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Yeah, in summer it's always eighteen.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
But growing up in Dunedin, as I did, or to
put to Dunedin, well it's always eighteen. It was called
Atiputti when I was a kid.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
No, it wasn't it wasn't called Aunti putti And even now,
how many people in Dunedin are calling it at Porti?
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Not many.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
But the thing is, I used to think that twenty
degrees was a hot day. I had twenty You're like, oh,
that's a summer.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Day, yeap.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
And you know, obviously down there you'll get your thirties
sometimes you get you get a thirty one, thirty two
every summer.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Yeah, you wire hot, it will get hot.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
But yeah, yeah, your expectations are around the twenty degrees.
You know, eighteen isn't a disaster in summer.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yeah, But which which is?
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Which is a real eye opener for people from say Australia, Queensland.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
They're like, what this is your summer? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (05:09):
What?
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Well yeah, I imagine Dublin. There must be a time,
a bit like Dannina. There must be a time, a
wind direction and I'm going to say south easterly, a
south easterly that blows off the continent, so off Europe
in summer, hits England blows off England and then hits
Ireland must be quite nice, must be a hot that
(05:33):
must be lovely weather that comes from the southeast.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Yeah, because their thing is the north that the weather
from the north not good in the west. North and
the west not good because also coming from the North
and the west you get the old Viking just washing
down the are where they get Where.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
The Vikings going to Ireland, I don't know if they bothered.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
They went to money there, they went to Scotland, Yeah,
Shetland's I don't think they were doing much pissing around
to Ireland.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Was the other side of the way outher sides too
very risky to go that outther side too, because they
were rowing. Yeah, no, I don't think they went there there,
but there was lots of slaves grabbed from Ireland, like
very very risky slaves grab from Ireland and taken to
So there was some people coming up the other way
still at slaves off them.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
I think they were French and maybe Spanish that ended
up in Ireland. We can talk to you about this,
he'll no, he'll knowatory of all Saint Pat.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Yeah, he was a slave.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
He was grabbed off the shores of Ireland as a
slave and then and then taken to the UK. Oh yeah,
and then made his way back, oh yeah, and chased
the snakes out.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
I have been watching Vikings Valhalla. Ah, yeah, and I'm
really enjoying it. And I just realized about one episode.
I was like, oh, this is about my ancestry. These
are my ancestors. I'd never really even considered it. I'd
never thought about it. I knew that my ancestors were
English and Scottish, yeah, but they're not Irish, but the
(06:57):
English and Scottish. But I knew that, but I didn't
really think about the ancestry of those particular people and
those people like before that my ancestors would have pissed
it over from Bloody Scandinavia and Normandy and also the
Netherlands and then pested into England and yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I was like, oh, this is this is some of
these historically that some.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Of these people could have been related to me. Never
really thought about it. Well, they probably would be made. Yeah,
I was like, these guys are quite funny. Thing is
when you go.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Back in history, right you think about it in the
population that you have in the UK now, which is
you know, sixty million yep. But back then, you know
your biggest cities with the size of Timuru.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
So when all those Viking raids and everything were happening,
and the Viking raids are It's interesting.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
I mean, it was mainly farmers turning up and finding
an area.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
You know, it's like it's a bit different than it's
portrayed because a lot of that was written. History was
written by looking for anti Viking rhetoric, you know, for
their own powerful power it needs. But you know, there's
no doubt that England's surely one of the most the
most invaded and colonized island and history.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Isn't all it was coming from all angles.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Yeah, because they had used lush, had lush soil there,
and you know, the Romans went over there, You've got
the Saxons coming in, you got the Normans. They just
every other year, you're just getting run over.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
The Vikings, so were.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
They The Vikings were obviously going in there and they
were raiding and pelagen because they had lots of money
and lots of gold and all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Well that's this thing, because I've read a bit of
history about it, and they were actually really after a
little bit of that. But they were actually just after
a place where crops grow really well, and England crops
grow really really well.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Yeah, right, because Scandinavia had harsh winters harsh winters.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
So the Vikings were just like anyone else. I mean,
there was a bit of raiding and there was a
bit of burning, and there was all that kind of stuff,
and maybe made love to the old woman.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
But yeah, I'm.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Trying to I'm whitewashing the whole situation.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
There was no love involved.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
But and I did watch some of the love making
that I saw on Vikings far Holler, and I got
to say that was that was That's some really hot
Viking love making.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
I would like to go back to another Viking series.
I'd like to make love to Legatha loth I beat
you with the braids.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Yeah, no, she's she's beautiful. And there's a couple of
absolute beauties in this latest season as well.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
It's at interesting that the biggest hotties in the world
were the Vikings, because they still are, aren't they. I mean,
like some of the hottest people in the world are Scandinavians.
They're tall and hot, aren't they.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Yep, they are they are.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
So with the Vikings rocking down where they people see
the Vikings stand up, this sucks because we're about to
have a monastery burnt down.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
But pretty good looking.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
I don't know if they were had that vibe, but
definitely England was interesting because you had you had French.
She's coming over and they were French in those days.
They were from Normandy, yeah, and they were from what
is now Holland, yeah, the Netherlands.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Yeah. And then you also had them coming from Brittany. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
And so that's what it's called Great Britain because it's
the Brittany, which is basically France.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
It was just like it was a bigger version of Britney.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
So they invaded and are we going to call this
whole place Great Britain because it's a big version of
where we come from.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
And then you had and then you had all of
the Norse, all of the people coming down from Norway,
Sweden and Denmark. Not so much Finland that was too
far away. But then these guys were all coming down.
They're basically having a mess of wargy on that island.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
And as a result you had these really interesting mix
of people yeah, yeah, like super interesting. And the coats
of people that were getting across there, they weren't the
rubbish people like you couldn't get across the rubbish ones
were staying over in Scandinavia. Yeah, right, And the rubbish
ones were staying in France. They weren't pissing over because
they couldn't get You wouldn't take it. You wouldn't take
a piece.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Of crap with you. Why would you?
Speaker 4 (10:49):
You wouldn't want someone who couldn't rowe, who couldn't handle
the sea voyage, because the sea voyages across the North
Sea were bloody intense.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
So you took the best people.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Across with you to do the raiding and the and
the bloody pillaging and the we love make.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Will you bring some women?
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Not really, by the locks of it, not, according to
Vikings of Alhalla. No, the women tended to stay at.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Home because the Scandinavians that came down here and there's
a huge bloodline of Scandinavians, so they were setting up
farming and then and then forming relationships with the local
woman In New Zealand. Are you talk about New Zealand?
I know, I was talking about England.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
At England, Oh yeah, they were, yeah, well they had
they had Danish colonies and stuff that were operating. Hence
the language which is essentially Scandinavian mixed with French mixed
with Latin, crazy there you go there and there's a
couple of words that hung around from some weird it's
such a.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Milauge the English language.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Well, I always thinking about that Spinal Tap song about
you know, Stonehenge and he goes talking about the Druids
and goes, no one knew who they were or what
they were doing. You know, it's kind of like they
don't know what was happening before. No, like there's just
just stuff, not much of it's stuck around.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
No, but what were they doing?
Speaker 5 (12:04):
This?
Speaker 4 (12:04):
This is a lot about paganism versus Christianity because you
had the Pagans that were still operating inside of Scandinavia.
Not so much in England that had changed and also
not in France, but certainly in Scandinavia they still had
the pagan thing going on, and the Christians were trying
to take over and try and pull Christianity into Scandinavia,
and the Pagans were like, no, no, you don't. And
(12:25):
there was quite a lot of fighting going on between
Pagans and Christians, but they were fighting together against the English,
which is quite interesting. Wow, Pagans and Christians fighting together.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
At the start.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Britain was inhabited by Celtic peoples before the Romans, and
they called them Brittonis, so they named the area they
conquered britanniakan mass Caledonians. He's one of them, Irish and
pects lived in what is now.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Scotland, so yeah, pretty freaking interesting.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
And then you get bloody ed burn from Ireland, educated
in Scotland and going to every single center in New Zealand,
but currently quite late for this interviewer.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
He was he educated in Scotland, so no, he's not.
Unfortunately he's not late. It was just a shingeling issue
with nine thirty. He's in What the fuck isn't it
nine point thirty? What time does he call this? Well?
At time now? It's nine to eighteen. We can't rap
it on. I mean, that's a interview cancelation, isn't it
You want to call it?
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Well, with the magic of podcasting, what we can do
is take a break, break now, and then come back
with it.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Ben O CA's this. This is a magic.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
Then we we'll make time shortened down and so if
you're listening right now, you'll never know that there was
a twelve minute gap between now and when we spoke
to you b.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Yeah, I get it, but I also want to be
on when he comes in, because I think it's weird
for guests when we're already talking and then they just
come through and we put them on the mic. Okay,
so we need to know he's nearly coming. Then we
run in and start the podcast again, just briefly before
he starts. Okay, but fucking tardy from him, and we'll
we'll be raising that with hum.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Oh really yeah, Okay, that's the first question. What time
do you call this? Yeah? What time you call that? Oka?
All right? Oh yes, yep, welcome to the studio. It'd
burn here.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
You going very good?
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Thank you, ed. The first question I need to ask
you was what time do you call this?
Speaker 1 (14:12):
I called past nine?
Speaker 2 (14:15):
But that's correct, that is exactly.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
See a bit of backstory on that. It is we
thought you were late, but it was just that we
hit the time wrong. Ah yeah right, and actually you're
perfectly you're in fact you're early.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Yeah. Ok. Perception is everything, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Because and this is being pre recorded, so time means nothing.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Yes's exactly.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Well yeah, and I'm jet lagged, so time means even less.
It's like half ten in the evening. Where I'm from
arrived yesterday?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Where did you fly from yesterday?
Speaker 1 (14:43):
London? London, London stands Dead, which is not in London.
The whole airport thing, particularly in the UK, is one
of the greatest scams there is that you can just
put annie city in front of your airport name, doesn't
matter where it is. Yeah, so London stands Dead is
over an hour from London.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Remember remember the heaven to us when we coming back
from Amsterdam their time and then you're like, we're in
We're in London.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
You're like, no, no, you're a long long.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Luton is literally the name of another town, and you
just go, this is London Luton and that's like saying
this is Auckland. That's not the same. They're two different places.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Luton is actually close further away from its actually.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Kind of closer.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
At least there's there's sort of a reason for that.
He throws a port. There's a lot, there's a.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Reason why you'd want to land somewhere else, but there's
also you know, there's somebody to be said for naming
the airport after the city. It's actually, well, you're playing
not just where you're most likely to go to after
you land at this airport, that's just chee.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Well, on the second of August, you're playing the glen
Roy Auditorium in Dunedin, which is my hometown, and that
suffers from having an airport in a different city as well.
It's got a different town. It's got a Mammonia airport.
You're flying and you land there. It's forty five minutes
from town and there's nothing but tween there and the
air but Familand, and you're like, would.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Have killed you to put the airport Just like a
little bit, You're going to tell me that they put
the airport actually in Edinburgh, just to be really having
spent a lot of time in Edinburgh, the first time
I went to Dunedin, I was pretty spun out. Yeah,
just really it's like a theme park, Edinburgh break based
theme park. It's so weird.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
That's the nicest thing about trying to.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Do I know, but that, Yeah, but it's just odd.
It just seems like a really weird thing to do.
It's because Edinburgh is a very hilly city and Dunedin
is not particularly compared to Edinburgh. Oh really, yeah, Edinburgh
is incredibly hilly, Like if you walk around Edinburgh. You've
got a map in your hand. It's very it's very
little use because it's not in three D. We turn
(16:48):
left of beer. Oh, oh, there's the street we want
down there. Yeah, does anybody bring the abs saving equipment?
Speaker 2 (16:54):
You know, because at.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
But George Street comes off done this straight and they the.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Great system is.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
I think the new Town area of Edinburgh.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
It's an interesting thing, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
So you want you want to get away from so
you're moving to New Zealand. It's a pretty long way
to go in a pretty dangerous time when they did it,
and you know a lot of people. You know, some
people on the ships were going to die on the
way out, and you know, and invariably people seem to
go on the boats when they're pregnant and stuff as well,
which was which was seemed quite risky.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
You wouldn't do that these days. Get to Dunedin and
go let's bold where we're from.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Yeah, it's like people, you know, I've known people like
from my hometown who moved to the States and then
they just only drink in Irish bars and hang out
with other Irish people and stuff like that. Why bother
you could do this? At home. Yeah, and it's this
idea like to travel to the other side of the
world from Scotland and go, let's just recreate where we've.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Just played, like New Zealand thing to go, but we
we mix it up a little bit. We go overseas
and hang out with nothing but New Zealand as Australians
and South Africans. Can I never meet a single person
that's English when we moved to England.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
I have a theory on maybe why that happened. So
what about if you lived in Scotland and you then
came to New Zealand.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Are you actually trying.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
To recreate what you thought was the best place in
the world or is that just all you know? And
so you're actually just recreating the thing that you already know.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Yeah, and just going jungle. Wow, it's all lush and beautiful.
Get the sheep's turn this head to a field.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
What's all you know that?
Speaker 4 (18:19):
We know how to grow these animals, we know how
to do this, we know how to have this, we
know this is our layout. I mean apparently Dunedam when
it was when it was first created, was the muddy
they could the muddiest place in the world. It was
just mud because there were no roads, so it was
all and there was no gravel, so you just it
was just horrific muddy roads with fires everywhere because the
(18:42):
houses have to be heated.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
And this will justify being able to buy a massive
four B four.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
I've got two questions for you, yeah, and they're quite different,
but I'm going to ask them at the same the
same time.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
The first question that you've prefaced this this is there
is to be no speed bombs or are surprised to
in this interview?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
I don't want I don't want to on the sports
spook me.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
This is what I don't know exactly how many questions
I'm about to be asked, and I want to know
if there's any great difference between those questions before you,
otherwise I might get whiplash.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
We're not got your journalists. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
So the first question is how come not many Irish
people moved to the need to New Zealand, right, They
mainly went to Australia. And secondly, did the Vikings ever
go to Ireland or was it just on the other
side and they didn't because because you know where they
come from, the Vikings, that kind of makes sense.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
But did they? So the Vikings did hit Ireland as well.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Absolutely, Dublin is the Viking city. Dublin was settled in
ten eighty eight. I think it was, yeah, as a
Viking city. That's the thing that Andrew Maxwell used to
do a joke about that about how we used to
have to learn Irish, the Irish language, you know, growing
up and you have fugures and that's part of your culture,
it's part of your heritage. You go, nah, we're Vikings, right,
(19:49):
you know?
Speaker 2 (19:50):
So there was did they plan to go that side?
Speaker 1 (19:54):
I mean, I cannot speak for the Vikings.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
But they went to the ship. It makes sense to go.
This makes sens to go the Shpland islands. Stop there
and then you decide which side you're going to go.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
I guess, yeah, we I think I'm thinking we just
welcomed them in nice heart.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Well, the Vikings would loved island with the lush green
the green green grasslands grow there.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
And it's it's mad because then you also see all
you can go to Ireland, you can see all the
remnants of Viking invasion. You know, there's all these round
towers everywhere where. The monks used to hide in them
and they used to get the gold and somefing that
and take it up to the top of the round
tower to hide from the vikings, and they're still standing
to this day. You're next to next to old churches
in places like Glenda Locke and stuff like that. There
(20:35):
was there was a round tower in the town I
grew up in, Swords. There's a Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
So it's the sick and cleanest city in Island. Wow, Yeah, beautiful, beautiful.
Since I left, really.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
We'll be getting out of there.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
Yeah, and the third third best place to town to
live in an Ireland?
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Is that a fact? Again? Since I left? Yeah, But
I can't speak to why Irish people moved to Australia
rather than New Zealand.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
It's an interesting probably just the different companies because the
New Zealand Company went to Scotland and and said, hey,
there's a tropical paradise you can move down to and
sold all these lies and then people got down there
and go, oh, this is just I just have to
hack my farm out of some native push and and
start my life there. And then they're like and maybe
(21:24):
that's why they then built Edinburgh there, because they're like,
this wasn't what was on the packet, but we can't
get home.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
Yeah, but I think you're right. I think that it
was all a New Zealand company thing. I think they
were going in Scotland, they were in England, they weren't
in Ireland. But then the Irish people that came and
ended up in New Zealand actually came through Australia because
lots of lots of people who went to Australia then
came to New Zealand to.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Be proud of Australia New South Wales. That's right, Yeah,
yeah we did.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
So we were talking because we did a bit of
an intro for you before you came on to save time, right,
And one thing we got.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Because we needed to leave room for this rambling conversation
about how we don't know enough about the history of
New Zealand, which I'm allowed not know, by the way. Yeah,
you're the gaps in your knowledge is more stark.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Than absolutely are from here. They're disgusting.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
But yes, So one thing we got wrong in the
evening was we said that Vikings never went to island,
so they embarrassing. But one thing that we were saying
is from our perspective, you growing up on Swords. You've
got all these ancient buildings, you've got Vikings, remnants of Vikings.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
In fact, there's actually a castle in Swords where they
film episodes of the TV show Vikings.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Right, that's true, that's aw Viking. Yes, said that.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
And here's another example of me and one terrible person
I am. I did a tour of Norway and my
promoter referred to that show as Vikings, which is how
they pronounce it Vikings. Yeah, and I said, it's pronounced Vikings.
I told the Norwegian to pronounce the word Viking. Now,
if you ever want to be told that you're a
smart art, that's I think that's the greatest example there.
(22:54):
So you're saying Viking wrong.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
So we need when you come to New Zealand, do
you it must look so new and slapped together, you
know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (23:05):
So in your eyes.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Traveling around Europe, you know this was what's the coolest
thing for a New Zealander As we go over seas
and we go to a town like Swords, and we
see a tower and we can't believe it. We can't
believe people aren't making it, celebrating it and running around
it and talking about it.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Constantly.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
I was in Paris recently and I was down in
this alleyway and there was this huge building that was
from some time, and I said to the waiter, what's
that and he goes, oh, because but it would be
the most celebrated building in New Zealand if it was here.
So from your eyes you becoming to New Zealand since
nineteen ninety seven, it must look just a bit slapped
together and new.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
No.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
I actually find myself like, I come somewhere like this.
It's got the same population as Ireland. And I look
at these modern cities everywhere and I go, we go,
we have stuff like this. We don't have a sky
tower in Dublin, you know, like we have a thing
in Dublin called the Spire, which is literally just a spy.
It's not even a building. It's like a piece of art.
(24:02):
You can't go up it. It's just a big tall spike.
It's the it's the top of the sky tower. They
just took the antenna and just put that in the
center of O'Connell Street and went there. There's there, there's
a skyscraper. There's at least the top of a skyscraper.
We don't have sky we.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Have Liberty what's the highest building.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
In Liberty Hall, which is it's it's like twenty stories
that it's not a it's not a tall building, and
and part of me was like, why do we have
stuff like that? That's what I genuinely feel like.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
But we call them lakers here, buildings that are being
thrown out with poor building standards that didn't have to
be reclared.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
But I was because I first landed here in ninety seven.
You just built the sky Tower, and everyone was very
excited about it, particularly it was really I mean, it
was eight in the world at the time, which was
a great thing to build. Yeah, but for you, it
was it was like it was taller than they had
in Australia. That's all that counts that. It was just
(24:56):
like focus in Australia, that's just build there is a
little taller than that. And it was your joke about
the fact that it does kind of cheat, like the
sea and tower and cons like it's already building for
so long and then it's just a spike and then
it's just like that's like me putting the toothpick and
the animal penis. Look at the length of that it's
not the same.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Well, and then they never painted the skytower. You must
have come back and gone every time gone. Are they
going to get rid of painting there? It's a still
concrete color.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Are they ever going to paint the bastard?
Speaker 3 (25:26):
It's a testament to how what a successful business gambling is, though,
isn't it the biggest building in your town?
Speaker 4 (25:32):
Is?
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Yeah, but you actually.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
Made a good point that what's preventing them from chucking
another stick on top.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Of it that goes up to make it taller. Surely
I think this rule is about how long your sticks
are llowed to be Well, who makes that role?
Speaker 4 (25:49):
The International Tool Building Association, who makes that rule.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
They'll come down on you like a ton of bricks
if you if you, if you had an extra area
on top of the area on top of the area
on top of your large pole, and then claim the
higher than the Impire State building.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (26:03):
I was in Melbourne a few months ago and the
tallest building in Melbourne you get up to the observation,
it's not the talle the building.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
That you can go up the skydeck.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
You go up it and the first thing you see
when you get a lift is a taller building that
got built about a year later by arrival multi millionaire.
And it's just like the point of going up a
big building like that. You're not supposed to stand there
and go wouldn't it be cool to work in that
office up there. That's not how it's supposed to be.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
It would suck.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
It would suck if you've spent all that money, all
that Hubers spent on trying to have the tallest building,
and someone just immediately goes up.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Well, it's like, you know, when you have a cafe
and it's doing quite well, and then someone opens a
cafe right next door, and you imagine what it's like
going to work, and you go, you guys, just having
a cafe right next door. I mean, it's quite a
big move. You put your put your big thing right
side the other big thing.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
We put this here just for you for your staff
to come to before they go to work in your one.
You know, then it comes out who could open five
minutes before the other one?
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
I was looking before at the temperature today in Dublin
and I said to Matt. I've been to Dublin a
couple of times, and I said to Matt, if I
said to you it's summer and Dublin at the moment,
what is the temperature, What's the first thing that will
come to your mind? And Matt said eighteen And I
said it's eighteen. That's exactly what. It's cloudy and it's
(27:21):
eighteen today and that was exactly me.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
That was the first.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
Does it ever move away from eighteen in summer in Dublin.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Not often, No, no. Darryl O'Brien had a funny routine
about going to Australia and seeing a thing saying the
overnight low temperature will be twenty two degrees the overnight.
If it was that temperature overnights in Ireland, you'd be
getting the kids out of bed and taking them to
the beach. Well, they never see twenty two degrees.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Again, Well, this morning is and there's mornings in Australia
for Australian's. You know, tourists coming to New Zealand, they
will say it's not hot, like you think it's gonna
be hot. They in New Zealand, we get excited at
about twenty four. At twenty four, we're like, that's that's
hot for an Australian. They're like, get out of town.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Well, I've never been in New Zealand in the winter before.
I normally come here to April May, right, so this
is the first time i've been here, you know, in
your way. And it's not as cold as I thought
it was going to be. I have packed like proper
arctic carry on, we'll hold.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
It's fourteen degrees today.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
It's yeah, Auckland's very well. But but I'm looking here
and you are going to the cargo.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
You'll get cold down there. But the third of August,
now it doesn't get any cold. Then are Queenstown can
Queenstown's colder?
Speaker 4 (28:33):
Actually yeah, but yeah, you it's this is a big
difference between say the Cargo in the middle of winter
and then Auckland or North. And you're not going any
further than Auckland are in North No, No.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
It Takapoona.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Across the bridge. It's a bit warmer. It's maybe a
degree warmer, and that's probably a great warmer. I'm glad.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
I packed a whole range of clothes.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
So you obviously you've been here a number of times.
Is this the most extensive tour you've done?
Speaker 1 (29:04):
I think so, I yeah, it's I'm going to for
the first time. I don't think I've performed and wrote au.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Before on a hot pole.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Yeah, I may I have been. I went there on
mid day off on the last tour, and I came
here last year, but I haven't performed there so and
that's selling really badly. You haven't been.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
It's one of those tourist downs through where it's like,
you know a lot of transient you know, so that
that feel about that one, Yeah, I feel for Australians
just dipping the towe on a hot pole and getting out.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Yeah, so well I'm going there. I'm going There's a
few plays I've been I have been to before that
I'm not going to this time. I did a few
tours ago that was weird. I was doing a show
called Different Class, which by which up until this show,
I'm sorry to say that, but this show has been
the best reviewed show I've ever done. It's beenridiculous. The plots,
(30:01):
oh my goodness, Oh my goodness. But previously that was
the show called Different Class, which I toured all over
the UK and Australia and New Zealand and it went
very well until I got to Omaru and the first
three jokes of the show. Nothing, nothing like nothing, And
I just ditched the show and just went and just
did like greatest hits. Just just ended up doing just
jokes that I wrote twenty years ago. Yeah, a bunch
(30:23):
of one lines about Yeah it worked. Was it the
the first time I've ever done that on a tour
where the show I was intending to do, I.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Just ditched and did other stuff in was it the
south end or the north end of.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Remember think it was a beautiful town. Yeah, it's a
gold rush town Stone Yeah, yep, yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
I mean the south end is the southeenst When you
did that, we did the parade, wasn't it.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
Yeah, so down the old the old town end with
all the motors, stone, those buildings and stuff like that.
Because the first slice to have refrigeration, right uh in
New Zealand, that was the first place that they used
to refrigerate and seeing mate off over so came out
of Wame and so there was a lot of money
there at one sage And yes, gold.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Well you could have refrigerated meat cold stare that my
first three jokes received. Did you go to I didn't know?
Speaker 4 (31:13):
Okay, Of the two rus, I prefer Wamo actually the
one that you that you went to.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Right, I found out a tricky gig, so I'm no offense.
I'm decided against.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Was it at the Amor town Hall? Beautiful, beautiful, that's
at the south end. I'll tell you.
Speaker 4 (31:35):
The other thing is that something. It's quite a big
town hall, that one. I mean you fat Selli's, which
is the restaurant down there. I've had some great meals
at fat Sellies over the years, and that for me,
that's the highlight of Wamero.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
You haven't.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
You must have gone to fat Selli's when you went there.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
I have no memory when when when a gig goes
as difficult as that, that's all you think about, really,
all of the incidentals around it. I think I probably
just went and got drunk and just tried to wait.
Whole memory.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Yeah, yeah, Well it's an interesting town, but it's not
as punchy as as tom is.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
It's not a white Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Looking at my my itinerary, where is the place I'm
going to, you reckon, I'm going to encounter the most weirdness.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Okay, that's a great it's a good question.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
I can tell you straight away. I've seen it straightaway.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
You're not going to go in North Paris, the North
North parmis the North, the one that called the asshole
of the world and a good place to comit silicie.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Yeah, and then so they I mean.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
It's can you tell if he if he came out
of there alive, I mean, if he was going to
be you know, you can't, Yeah, you can't. You can't
even compare it. They named the.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
Dump af from the Tips now called the John Cleese
Tip there after it because he was so mean about
them inflammatory statements. I actually don't know what happened to
him there that he didn't didn't like it.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
I think he I think he actually touched on something
that a lot of people have felt and observed, observed themselves,
but never quite put to words. And I actually, but interestingly,
I interviewed the mayor of Parmeston North recently. It's good
but good guy, and he said, like Parmeson North, he goes,
that's a pretty ship place he was, he goes, But
you know what, we're a farmer, farming, service town and
(33:17):
we're fine with where we are. We're very comfortable. We're
not trying to pretend to be a tourist town.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
They've got the All Blacks Museum there.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
Yeah, we do very well for ourselves down here, thanks
very much.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
We've got a lot of actually very funny comedians come
out of Palmerston North from there.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Uh what's his name? Cool?
Speaker 4 (33:32):
Jeremy Corbt, Jeremy Corbett and Laura Daniel. Yeah, I think
that's that's But humor is often to overcome adversities.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Don't think it's. Yeah, it doesn't speak well of a
town if a lot of good comedians, but I think
it's only a bad town like Navin in Ireland has
produced some of the greatest comedians and it's because it's it's.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
And this is something people say about Ireland all the time.
But like say you're you're saying five million people in Ireland,
five million people in New Zealand roughly. How come everyone's
always talking about Ireland and Irish people. It must be
the most talked about country in the world per head
of population. I don't know if you do this stats
about it, but people you're always Ireland is always on
(34:15):
people's lips, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Well it means Ireland Irish.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
It tends to come up when I'm being individ that's
because I'm from That reminds you of the Jimmy carriage.
He met a girl called just Alga or something like that,
and he goes, that's not an Emmy here every day.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
She goes, I do, that's a good joke.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
But I noticed how I'm always keen to credit everybody
who I wouldn't have known.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
I know, that's very honorable.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
I reckon as New Zealand is, we're a little bit
jealous of the fact that as a country of the
same size, we struggle for significance and we always wish that,
you know, our identity was a little bit more well known,
a little bit better. And so when we travel overseas,
people do obviously make means to the fact, you know,
particularly in the States, that we're from New Zealand, but
then nothing about New Zealand.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
But it's you suffer from the same thing the Irish
people do, and that you are overshadowed by your louder, bigger,
next door neighbor. It's the same thing as Canadians and Mexicans,
you know, yeah, overshadowed by by the USA. And you know,
we all have that in common. Of the the the scrappy,
younger brother right next door. And I think that's a
I think it's it's very hard not for that not
(35:26):
to be ingrained in a nation psyche.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
You know. Yeah. Yeah, And also and I think.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Of yeah, same thing, the same as like I guess
even the Austrian compared to Germany. That's the thing. Like
you know, if you say you know from Germany, no Austria,
you know yourself, you'll be yeah, the same thing.
Speaker 4 (35:42):
Yeah, yeah, well at the same time, but Orish culture
has spread itself. It has spread itself around the world
in a way that we are jealous of. We are
jealous of how Irish culture for people for a country
as small as Ireland is and as many people as Ireland.
As Matt said, I think of population far more well.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
I guess well, I'd like to think I'm doing my
bit successful people.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Coming out of Ireland as well, well well known people.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
But it's an interesting You'll be able to sell more
tickets here than I will in Ireland, right, that's the thing,
you know. I'll come here and do however many you
know in this in this month that I'm here, I'm
hope hopefully I'll sell like eight nine thousand tickets. I
wouldn't do that in a year in Ireland because.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
That's because you've been coming since ninety ninety seven. Probably.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
I think when I go to Ireland, when I do
gigs in Ireland, people just assume that I'll be there
again the following week. Where people know when I come here,
this is it. Come now, and you won't see me
again until next year or the year after, and you
won't you won't see this show again like this, this
is the show I'm doing. I'm going to be here
now and then that's it.
Speaker 6 (36:47):
You won't get to see the show us and some
people a different show because you clearly are not, like
you don't laugh at the first three jokes, and you'll
get a completely different show together.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
Now, I don't don't want to make this whole thing
about Ireland. I don't know how to slipped that way.
But it was just because it was the most fun
things to talk about. But when was it that it changed?
So when I was a kid, people used to make
Irish jokes and then on a dime it flipped to
then Ireland being the most sort of respected and anyone
with an Irish accent would immediately get laid and it
(37:19):
flipped on a dime from people saying, like I remember
a school teacher saying to me once the Irish helicopter joke,
it's got an adjectocy.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
There was used to be those jokes around now.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
And then it changed really click quickly, and now you
can't even imagine anyone making a joke to say that
Irish people are stupid.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
I don't ever think that's about Ireland though those jokes
went in the same Polish jokes in America wand around
the same time those lazy you know jokes, was an
idiot came a joke just kind of just disappeared anyway,
just just.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Of someone's an idiot jokes around.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
I mean in Ireland we tell them the same jokes,
and people told us Irish jokes. We told us carry jokes.
It was the carry man did this out or the
other that was that was, yeah, it was, and it
was the exact same jokes. But those all of those
jokes just disappeared because it's just they were done. I
think generally, I know it sounds where people's sense of
humor just got a little bit more sophisticated. And yeah,
(38:18):
even jokes about Scottish people being mean, stuff like that,
you know, not English and Irish and Scotland jokes. They
just kind of went away because I think people just
got more generally in their humor.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
I don't think it's.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
People like to talk about that.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
It was.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
It was, you know, because Ireland suddenly became like top
of our field in information technology and all this kind
of stuff. But I really think that was what it.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Was, right.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
It was just that that format of joke just fell
out of favor.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
Also possibly going up intned as I was, which is
heavily Scottish. Maybe it was just this as also anti
Irish rhetoric from the Scots.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
It possible, Yeah, possible. It's good to know that people
it was it was always light rubbing and if it
was itally it was good to get to the bottom
of it. Yeah. Yeah, Ed, thanks for coming in. Thanks
so much so your shows.
Speaker 3 (39:04):
You're playing in Auckland twenty five, twenty sixth, and the
eighth and ninth, so you're donating donuting Auckland.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
You've got Hastings pumps the North.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
I think the twenty fifth is not happening now, that's
the twenty sixth.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
The twenty sixth, eighth and ninth. You're in Pumpson North
twenty eighth, twenty ninth, christ It's thirty first, Queenstown first
of August, and Eeding second and Macable third, Nelson sixth,
Hamilton tenth, fourteenth, Totonger fifteenth, Takapuna sixteenth, and Wellington on
the seventeenth. But when you look at that, does that
(39:37):
seem like it?
Speaker 2 (39:37):
It seems like a lot. That seems like a lot sounds.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
A long way to come. I may as well go everywhere.
And it's some beautiful country. I'm not just saying that.
I do like troubling around it.
Speaker 3 (39:46):
Oh good, well, thanks for coming in and thanks for
coming back.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
Cheers it. Thank you, Ed.
Speaker 4 (39:54):
I'm going to see you again in about three hours time,
all right because TV, Thank you bags.
Speaker 3 (40:03):
Furious conversation there. Yeah, you did stay true to yours
that you were going to say.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
What time do you call this? Yeah, made it awkward
at the start. He didn't. Then I released the valve,
appreciated me for saying that. Yeah, the interview. The interview
didn't really come back. No, that's that's what happens when
you do that.
Speaker 3 (40:20):
Yeah, when you when you're sort of we've got to
be prepared to stay true so we just had to go.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
Full island for the whole duration, just talk about what
he knows.
Speaker 3 (40:28):
There was an exercise and just overcoming the hurdle of
your first question that I had to ask.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
I know, you didn't. I'm not blaming it. You had to.
You said you would, and you did it, and I
respect that. But but Jeremy, you've got a mate. There
was some collateral damage. Yeah, he didn't shake my hand
at the end. No, he didn't. He did not shake
your hand at the end. No. No, And that's going
to be awkward for that seven sharp interview coming out.
I've got another interview. Yeah yeah, yeah, okay, so cool.
(40:54):
I mean, how do you feel about it?
Speaker 1 (40:55):
You?
Speaker 2 (40:56):
I mean with it? Okay, yeah, fine with it? Yeah. Yeah.
I liked him. I liked him too, smart guy. Yeah,
I like him a lot.
Speaker 4 (41:05):
I like them, I like them heaps.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
I liked him.
Speaker 3 (41:09):
I think I liked him more than you liked him.
And I definitely liked him more than he liked you.
Speaker 4 (41:15):
Well, it was easy for him to dislike me because
I asked that first question and I noticed that. So
he was definitely favoring you more than he was favoring me.
But you know, as I said, that's just the way
it goes. I mean, someone's got to ask the hard questions.
Speaker 2 (41:31):
Do you reckon?
Speaker 3 (41:32):
This is quite a shitty setup we've got here in
the studio. I mean, I know this podcast is getting
quite long now, but there's a shitty set up in
the studio where our guests have to flip their heads
back and forth between us, so they're raither looking at
you or looking at me.
Speaker 2 (41:45):
It must be tough. It's it's imagine doing that.
Speaker 4 (41:48):
Yeah, well, well it's better than it's better than some
other ways some have they he was facing.
Speaker 2 (41:54):
The wall, and good look at any of us.
Speaker 3 (41:56):
I know, but we could kill us to have a
cafe environment where we've got a smaller table, all sitting
closer together.
Speaker 2 (42:01):
So I mean, I get it, I get.
Speaker 3 (42:02):
It Ruder and Mash, But I mean, in a minute,
I've got the same problem with Ruder and Mash exactly.
Speaker 4 (42:09):
It's fine, you can actually talk to people that are
around from you. The worst is when both of us
are double ending. You know, both of us are coming
in from one end from one end, like if we
were both sitting at it. It's an interrogation technique. So
if we were sitting at the same table facing the guests,
and the guest was just facing us at a single
disc like in a school disc. And that's horrific because
(42:30):
you get you get smashed in the face by two
people at the same time. This is this is far
better experience what it's like to be on the receiving
end of the double double ending, double ended dildo.
Speaker 2 (42:40):
You I think between two beers, we'll double engine. Yep,
they double they'll double engine. It's really full on. Yeah,
there'll be a DP situation.
Speaker 3 (42:48):
Well, when I'm in doob with my thumb up my ass,
I'm right behind Jerry the whole morning, just hanging out
at the back of him.
Speaker 2 (42:54):
The whole morning. I can see you and Mash.
Speaker 1 (42:56):
Really well, but unfortunately I can never see Jerry's face.
Speaker 3 (43:00):
I very really look at Jerry because there's an alley
just behind us here, and so I mainly spend the
morning watching bay belly.
Speaker 2 (43:08):
Excuse me, who babelly? Who's baby belly belly?
Speaker 3 (43:12):
Is that Kirsty sister's bellybelly? Not only not only out
there now, but let's just coming down baby belly now?
Speaker 2 (43:21):
Hot vapor out there her? What about the big vapor?
Nice not my not my cup of coffee. That's fine,
it's fine, that's fine. That's what what's that description?
Speaker 4 (43:33):
It's fine, fine, it's fine. That's dehumanizing, that's fine.
Speaker 5 (43:41):
Do you know if there's an idea were great people,
should we do a podcast from Bolly.
Speaker 2 (43:47):
Let's do it out there in Bay Belly, down the
wind tunnel. I'll set up the podcast out there. It'll
be we'll bring a jacket and Jerry, all right, what
do you think there? She looked at you. That's fine,
that's a past mark. That's fine. This has got it.
This is the whole that's fine.
Speaker 4 (44:06):
Thing that's I find that so disturbing. Do you I'd
rather deliver a number then that's fine, Like that's Jerry.
Speaker 3 (44:13):
Over the years, I've become to be non judgmental about
what goes up and down Bay Belly and just appreciate
what's served up to me.
Speaker 2 (44:20):
I mean, we don't all get to look at me, or.
Speaker 3 (44:21):
You get you get the pleasure of just staring at
me the whole fucking show. And that's that's like feast
your eyes, mate, feast your eyes. This way we we
we me into a lesser restinct mess because he has
to move his head about thirteen degrees.
Speaker 2 (44:38):
That's not anything about that. That's not okay, that's not okay,
but interesting, but she mess You see them arriving a
so I often see you. You. You you'll spark.
Speaker 3 (44:46):
Up when someone's coming down because you see that you're
a bar up it just like, hell, I don't You'll
just so you just and.
Speaker 2 (44:55):
Then I'll say I want to and I'll be like,
I wonder what's coming down baby belly.
Speaker 5 (44:58):
Okay, Well, if you're really like if you my honest
pinning the four pillars of Bay Belly, Marcus medicine number one.
Speaker 2 (45:04):
Yep, oh God, number two. Careful Laura, my girlfriend.
Speaker 5 (45:07):
There's going to be controversial that she was number two
in terms of the four pillars, no particular order.
Speaker 2 (45:12):
Number three. Delete that that little delay delay this podcast
before we leave.
Speaker 4 (45:27):
You might get baby Belly. I get the bait catcher.
You can't see the bait catcher behind you.
Speaker 2 (45:31):
Excuse me. Sometimes you miss out on the bait.
Speaker 3 (45:35):
Or you find muppets that are too dumb to work
out that you have to press a button made for
the daughter, get caught in the bake catcher.
Speaker 2 (45:40):
That's a real mix of the it's hilarious.
Speaker 5 (45:42):
Yeah, okay tomorrow podcasts from belly.

Welcome all you bespokey dokies to the Daily Bespoke podcast and.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Coming up on the show. When he gets in here.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
It burn When he gets in here, it burns returned
to New Zealand with a brand new solo tourt Tragedy
plus time. When he gets here, he's coming in the
first thing I'm going to ask him when he gets
in here, what time do you call this? Yeah, that's
the first thing I'm going to say, what excuse me?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
What guse me? What time do you call this?
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Who is that?
Speaker 3 (00:59):
I'm just forgetting his name now, that Irish comedian that
we had and here that just sat over there drawing
a really negative picture and wouldn't ask our questions, answer
our question.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Moran, not Dylan, Dylan Moran, Dylan Moran, Dylan Morane.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Do you know Dylan Moran. I think Dylan Moranz. I
think he's not in a good space now right.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Because Dylan Moran then went on and did some shows,
which was interesting because some people said that they were
really really amazing, and other people said he was.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Just on stage being drunk. But I guess it's your expectations.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
If you go to Dylan Moran, maybe you just want
him on stage drunk, randing rating. But Dylan Moran did
not like us, did he.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
No, he didn't like us. I don't think he liked
anyone they.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
I was just reading about ed Byrne, who's been here
a lot over the years. I remember coming across him
for the first time, and the one I remember coming
across home, bigger partner, I remember coming across that. I
come across him, and the mid to late nineties.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Here, Oh okay, sorry for the first time. I should
have waited at the end of the sea.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
As a performer, he was always very popular, Yeah, very
popular with the ladies, which is quite interesting too. But
I was just reading about him. He comes from a
place called Swords.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Swords. Swords is w O r d S in Dublin.
Swords in Dublin, Yeah, And I was looking up.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
And I looked up as Swords in Dublin, a nice area,
and it said it was recently named the third best
town to live in an Ireland as well as Ireland's.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Second cleanest, second cleanest town and island. Yes, Swords, it's
actually really beautiful.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
It's got like it's got like a castle all sorts.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Of obviously about this other I was watching, you know,
as a saying on the podcast yesterday, I believe it
was about the trip, and I was they go to
all these small towns and there's these amazing towns in
Europe where there's a castle, like there'll just be a
town and then there's a castle, and we got nothing
here like that. I mean, we've got Larnet's Castle, but
that's good for a pounding on Miss County's menico.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
But about that, hold on, let's just be clear, there
was no Miss Counties. Monuco was not involved in the pounding.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
She was involved at the.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Pre function, but pre pounding she was doing table sucks
with the elbow.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
But anyway, my point is that we don't have that
kind of history here. It's so bizarre, and I always
want of people that come here over here from Europe,
everything must seem so new and knock together. I mean,
we've got great natural beauty episodes Ireland. It's beautiful, incredibly beautiful,
beautiful and so sodas England, but so does all of
(03:29):
you Ape actually, but they must be really because we
go over there and we go Oh my got a castle.
Oh my god, a beautiful old building.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
I can't believe this pub is from opened in the
year eleven hundred. They must come over here and go.
This feels very just thrown together at the last minute.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
This feels new. This feels like Ireland would have felt like,
and sort of seven hundred watch burnings, yeah, all that
sort of stuff.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
If I said to you summer and Dublin, yeah, what's
the temperature, like, you know, what is the temperature, that
would because I was just looking at what the temperature
is today in Dublin in summer, and it's just for me,
it's it's exactly the temperature that I always think of
whenever I think of Dublin.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
I've been to Dublin. Eighteen. That's that, that's exactly. Always
eighteen in summer. It's always eighteen in Dublin. Yeah, and
that's what it is today, eighteen and cloudy, yeah summer.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Yeah, in summer it's always eighteen.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
But growing up in Dunedin, as I did, or to
put to Dunedin, well it's always eighteen. It was called
Atiputti when I was a kid.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
No, it wasn't it wasn't called Aunti putti And even now,
how many people in Dunedin are calling it at Porti?
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Not many.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
But the thing is, I used to think that twenty
degrees was a hot day. I had twenty You're like, oh,
that's a summer.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Day, yeap.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
And you know, obviously down there you'll get your thirties
sometimes you get you get a thirty one, thirty two
every summer.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Yeah, you wire hot, it will get hot.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
But yeah, yeah, your expectations are around the twenty degrees.
You know, eighteen isn't a disaster in summer.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yeah, But which which is?
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Which is a real eye opener for people from say Australia, Queensland.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
They're like, what this is your summer? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (05:09):
What?
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Well yeah, I imagine Dublin. There must be a time,
a bit like Dannina. There must be a time, a
wind direction and I'm going to say south easterly, a
south easterly that blows off the continent, so off Europe
in summer, hits England blows off England and then hits
Ireland must be quite nice, must be a hot that
(05:33):
must be lovely weather that comes from the southeast.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Yeah, because their thing is the north that the weather
from the north not good in the west. North and
the west not good because also coming from the North
and the west you get the old Viking just washing
down the are where they get Where.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
The Vikings going to Ireland, I don't know if they bothered.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
They went to money there, they went to Scotland, Yeah,
Shetland's I don't think they were doing much pissing around
to Ireland.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Was the other side of the way outher sides too
very risky to go that outther side too, because they
were rowing. Yeah, no, I don't think they went there there,
but there was lots of slaves grabbed from Ireland, like
very very risky slaves grab from Ireland and taken to
So there was some people coming up the other way
still at slaves off them.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
I think they were French and maybe Spanish that ended
up in Ireland. We can talk to you about this,
he'll no, he'll knowatory of all Saint Pat.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Yeah, he was a slave.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
He was grabbed off the shores of Ireland as a
slave and then and then taken to the UK. Oh yeah,
and then made his way back, oh yeah, and chased
the snakes out.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
I have been watching Vikings Valhalla. Ah, yeah, and I'm
really enjoying it. And I just realized about one episode.
I was like, oh, this is about my ancestry. These
are my ancestors. I'd never really even considered it. I'd
never thought about it. I knew that my ancestors were
English and Scottish, yeah, but they're not Irish, but the
(06:57):
English and Scottish. But I knew that, but I didn't
really think about the ancestry of those particular people and
those people like before that my ancestors would have pissed
it over from Bloody Scandinavia and Normandy and also the
Netherlands and then pested into England and yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I was like, oh, this is this is some of
these historically that some.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Of these people could have been related to me. Never
really thought about it. Well, they probably would be made. Yeah,
I was like, these guys are quite funny. Thing is
when you go.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Back in history, right you think about it in the
population that you have in the UK now, which is
you know, sixty million yep. But back then, you know
your biggest cities with the size of Timuru.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
So when all those Viking raids and everything were happening,
and the Viking raids are It's interesting.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
I mean, it was mainly farmers turning up and finding
an area.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
You know, it's like it's a bit different than it's
portrayed because a lot of that was written. History was
written by looking for anti Viking rhetoric, you know, for
their own powerful power it needs. But you know, there's
no doubt that England's surely one of the most the
most invaded and colonized island and history.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Isn't all it was coming from all angles.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Yeah, because they had used lush, had lush soil there,
and you know, the Romans went over there, You've got
the Saxons coming in, you got the Normans. They just
every other year, you're just getting run over.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
The Vikings, so were.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
They The Vikings were obviously going in there and they
were raiding and pelagen because they had lots of money
and lots of gold and all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Well that's this thing, because I've read a bit of
history about it, and they were actually really after a
little bit of that. But they were actually just after
a place where crops grow really well, and England crops
grow really really well.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Yeah, right, because Scandinavia had harsh winters harsh winters.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
So the Vikings were just like anyone else. I mean,
there was a bit of raiding and there was a
bit of burning, and there was all that kind of stuff,
and maybe made love to the old woman.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
But yeah, I'm.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Trying to I'm whitewashing the whole situation.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
There was no love involved.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
But and I did watch some of the love making
that I saw on Vikings far Holler, and I got
to say that was that was That's some really hot
Viking love making.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
I would like to go back to another Viking series.
I'd like to make love to Legatha loth I beat
you with the braids.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Yeah, no, she's she's beautiful. And there's a couple of
absolute beauties in this latest season as well.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
It's at interesting that the biggest hotties in the world
were the Vikings, because they still are, aren't they. I mean,
like some of the hottest people in the world are Scandinavians.
They're tall and hot, aren't they.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Yep, they are they are.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
So with the Vikings rocking down where they people see
the Vikings stand up, this sucks because we're about to
have a monastery burnt down.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
But pretty good looking.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
I don't know if they were had that vibe, but
definitely England was interesting because you had you had French.
She's coming over and they were French in those days.
They were from Normandy, yeah, and they were from what
is now Holland, yeah, the Netherlands.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Yeah. And then you also had them coming from Brittany. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
And so that's what it's called Great Britain because it's
the Brittany, which is basically France.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
It was just like it was a bigger version of Britney.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
So they invaded and are we going to call this
whole place Great Britain because it's a big version of
where we come from.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
And then you had and then you had all of
the Norse, all of the people coming down from Norway,
Sweden and Denmark. Not so much Finland that was too
far away. But then these guys were all coming down.
They're basically having a mess of wargy on that island.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
And as a result you had these really interesting mix
of people yeah, yeah, like super interesting. And the coats
of people that were getting across there, they weren't the
rubbish people like you couldn't get across the rubbish ones
were staying over in Scandinavia. Yeah, right, And the rubbish
ones were staying in France. They weren't pissing over because
they couldn't get You wouldn't take it. You wouldn't take
a piece.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Of crap with you. Why would you?
Speaker 4 (10:49):
You wouldn't want someone who couldn't rowe, who couldn't handle
the sea voyage, because the sea voyages across the North
Sea were bloody intense.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
So you took the best people.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Across with you to do the raiding and the and
the bloody pillaging and the we love make.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Will you bring some women?
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Not really, by the locks of it, not, according to
Vikings of Alhalla. No, the women tended to stay at.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Home because the Scandinavians that came down here and there's
a huge bloodline of Scandinavians, so they were setting up
farming and then and then forming relationships with the local
woman In New Zealand. Are you talk about New Zealand?
I know, I was talking about England.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
At England, Oh yeah, they were, yeah, well they had
they had Danish colonies and stuff that were operating. Hence
the language which is essentially Scandinavian mixed with French mixed
with Latin, crazy there you go there and there's a
couple of words that hung around from some weird it's
such a.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Milauge the English language.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Well, I always thinking about that Spinal Tap song about
you know, Stonehenge and he goes talking about the Druids
and goes, no one knew who they were or what
they were doing. You know, it's kind of like they
don't know what was happening before. No, like there's just
just stuff, not much of it's stuck around.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
No, but what were they doing?
Speaker 5 (12:04):
This?
Speaker 4 (12:04):
This is a lot about paganism versus Christianity because you
had the Pagans that were still operating inside of Scandinavia.
Not so much in England that had changed and also
not in France, but certainly in Scandinavia they still had
the pagan thing going on, and the Christians were trying
to take over and try and pull Christianity into Scandinavia,
and the Pagans were like, no, no, you don't. And
(12:25):
there was quite a lot of fighting going on between
Pagans and Christians, but they were fighting together against the English,
which is quite interesting. Wow, Pagans and Christians fighting together.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
At the start.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Britain was inhabited by Celtic peoples before the Romans, and
they called them Brittonis, so they named the area they
conquered britanniakan mass Caledonians. He's one of them, Irish and
pects lived in what is now.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Scotland, so yeah, pretty freaking interesting.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
And then you get bloody ed burn from Ireland, educated
in Scotland and going to every single center in New Zealand,
but currently quite late for this interviewer.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
He was he educated in Scotland, so no, he's not.
Unfortunately he's not late. It was just a shingeling issue
with nine thirty. He's in What the fuck isn't it
nine point thirty? What time does he call this? Well?
At time now? It's nine to eighteen. We can't rap
it on. I mean, that's a interview cancelation, isn't it
You want to call it?
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Well, with the magic of podcasting, what we can do
is take a break, break now, and then come back
with it.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Ben O CA's this. This is a magic.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
Then we we'll make time shortened down and so if
you're listening right now, you'll never know that there was
a twelve minute gap between now and when we spoke
to you b.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Yeah, I get it, but I also want to be
on when he comes in, because I think it's weird
for guests when we're already talking and then they just
come through and we put them on the mic. Okay,
so we need to know he's nearly coming. Then we
run in and start the podcast again, just briefly before
he starts. Okay, but fucking tardy from him, and we'll
we'll be raising that with hum.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Oh really yeah, Okay, that's the first question. What time
do you call this? Yeah? What time you call that? Oka?
All right? Oh yes, yep, welcome to the studio. It'd
burn here.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
You going very good?
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Thank you, ed. The first question I need to ask
you was what time do you call this?
Speaker 1 (14:12):
I called past nine?
Speaker 2 (14:15):
But that's correct, that is exactly.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
See a bit of backstory on that. It is we
thought you were late, but it was just that we
hit the time wrong. Ah yeah right, and actually you're
perfectly you're in fact you're early.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Yeah. Ok. Perception is everything, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Because and this is being pre recorded, so time means nothing.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Yes's exactly.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Well yeah, and I'm jet lagged, so time means even less.
It's like half ten in the evening. Where I'm from
arrived yesterday?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Where did you fly from yesterday?
Speaker 1 (14:43):
London? London, London stands Dead, which is not in London.
The whole airport thing, particularly in the UK, is one
of the greatest scams there is that you can just
put annie city in front of your airport name, doesn't
matter where it is. Yeah, so London stands Dead is
over an hour from London.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Remember remember the heaven to us when we coming back
from Amsterdam their time and then you're like, we're in
We're in London.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
You're like, no, no, you're a long long.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Luton is literally the name of another town, and you
just go, this is London Luton and that's like saying
this is Auckland. That's not the same. They're two different places.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Luton is actually close further away from its actually.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Kind of closer.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
At least there's there's sort of a reason for that.
He throws a port. There's a lot, there's a.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Reason why you'd want to land somewhere else, but there's
also you know, there's somebody to be said for naming
the airport after the city. It's actually, well, you're playing
not just where you're most likely to go to after
you land at this airport, that's just chee.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Well, on the second of August, you're playing the glen
Roy Auditorium in Dunedin, which is my hometown, and that
suffers from having an airport in a different city as well.
It's got a different town. It's got a Mammonia airport.
You're flying and you land there. It's forty five minutes
from town and there's nothing but tween there and the
air but Familand, and you're like, would.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Have killed you to put the airport Just like a
little bit, You're going to tell me that they put
the airport actually in Edinburgh, just to be really having
spent a lot of time in Edinburgh, the first time
I went to Dunedin, I was pretty spun out. Yeah,
just really it's like a theme park, Edinburgh break based
theme park. It's so weird.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
That's the nicest thing about trying to.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Do I know, but that, Yeah, but it's just odd.
It just seems like a really weird thing to do.
It's because Edinburgh is a very hilly city and Dunedin
is not particularly compared to Edinburgh. Oh really, yeah, Edinburgh
is incredibly hilly, Like if you walk around Edinburgh. You've
got a map in your hand. It's very it's very
little use because it's not in three D. We turn
(16:48):
left of beer. Oh, oh, there's the street we want
down there. Yeah, does anybody bring the abs saving equipment?
Speaker 2 (16:54):
You know, because at.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
But George Street comes off done this straight and they the.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Great system is.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
I think the new Town area of Edinburgh.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
It's an interesting thing, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
So you want you want to get away from so
you're moving to New Zealand. It's a pretty long way
to go in a pretty dangerous time when they did it,
and you know a lot of people. You know, some
people on the ships were going to die on the
way out, and you know, and invariably people seem to
go on the boats when they're pregnant and stuff as well,
which was which was seemed quite risky.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
You wouldn't do that these days. Get to Dunedin and
go let's bold where we're from.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Yeah, it's like people, you know, I've known people like
from my hometown who moved to the States and then
they just only drink in Irish bars and hang out
with other Irish people and stuff like that. Why bother
you could do this? At home. Yeah, and it's this
idea like to travel to the other side of the
world from Scotland and go, let's just recreate where we've.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Just played, like New Zealand thing to go, but we
we mix it up a little bit. We go overseas
and hang out with nothing but New Zealand as Australians
and South Africans. Can I never meet a single person
that's English when we moved to England.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
I have a theory on maybe why that happened. So
what about if you lived in Scotland and you then
came to New Zealand.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Are you actually trying.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
To recreate what you thought was the best place in
the world or is that just all you know? And
so you're actually just recreating the thing that you already know.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Yeah, and just going jungle. Wow, it's all lush and beautiful.
Get the sheep's turn this head to a field.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
What's all you know that?
Speaker 4 (18:19):
We know how to grow these animals, we know how
to do this, we know how to have this, we
know this is our layout. I mean apparently Dunedam when
it was when it was first created, was the muddy
they could the muddiest place in the world. It was
just mud because there were no roads, so it was
all and there was no gravel, so you just it
was just horrific muddy roads with fires everywhere because the
(18:42):
houses have to be heated.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
And this will justify being able to buy a massive
four B four.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
I've got two questions for you, yeah, and they're quite different,
but I'm going to ask them at the same the
same time.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
The first question that you've prefaced this this is there
is to be no speed bombs or are surprised to
in this interview?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
I don't want I don't want to on the sports
spook me.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
This is what I don't know exactly how many questions
I'm about to be asked, and I want to know
if there's any great difference between those questions before you,
otherwise I might get whiplash.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
We're not got your journalists. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
So the first question is how come not many Irish
people moved to the need to New Zealand, right, They
mainly went to Australia. And secondly, did the Vikings ever
go to Ireland or was it just on the other
side and they didn't because because you know where they
come from, the Vikings, that kind of makes sense.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
But did they? So the Vikings did hit Ireland as well.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Absolutely, Dublin is the Viking city. Dublin was settled in
ten eighty eight. I think it was, yeah, as a
Viking city. That's the thing that Andrew Maxwell used to
do a joke about that about how we used to
have to learn Irish, the Irish language, you know, growing
up and you have fugures and that's part of your culture,
it's part of your heritage. You go, nah, we're Vikings, right,
(19:49):
you know?
Speaker 2 (19:50):
So there was did they plan to go that side?
Speaker 1 (19:54):
I mean, I cannot speak for the Vikings.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
But they went to the ship. It makes sense to go.
This makes sens to go the Shpland islands. Stop there
and then you decide which side you're going to go.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
I guess, yeah, we I think I'm thinking we just
welcomed them in nice heart.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Well, the Vikings would loved island with the lush green
the green green grasslands grow there.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
And it's it's mad because then you also see all
you can go to Ireland, you can see all the
remnants of Viking invasion. You know, there's all these round
towers everywhere where. The monks used to hide in them
and they used to get the gold and somefing that
and take it up to the top of the round
tower to hide from the vikings, and they're still standing
to this day. You're next to next to old churches
in places like Glenda Locke and stuff like that. There
(20:35):
was there was a round tower in the town I
grew up in, Swords. There's a Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
So it's the sick and cleanest city in Island. Wow, Yeah, beautiful, beautiful.
Since I left, really.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
We'll be getting out of there.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
Yeah, and the third third best place to town to
live in an Ireland?
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Is that a fact? Again? Since I left? Yeah, But
I can't speak to why Irish people moved to Australia
rather than New Zealand.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
It's an interesting probably just the different companies because the
New Zealand Company went to Scotland and and said, hey,
there's a tropical paradise you can move down to and
sold all these lies and then people got down there
and go, oh, this is just I just have to
hack my farm out of some native push and and
start my life there. And then they're like and maybe
(21:24):
that's why they then built Edinburgh there, because they're like,
this wasn't what was on the packet, but we can't
get home.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
Yeah, but I think you're right. I think that it
was all a New Zealand company thing. I think they
were going in Scotland, they were in England, they weren't
in Ireland. But then the Irish people that came and
ended up in New Zealand actually came through Australia because
lots of lots of people who went to Australia then
came to New Zealand to.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Be proud of Australia New South Wales. That's right, Yeah,
yeah we did.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
So we were talking because we did a bit of
an intro for you before you came on to save time, right,
And one thing we got.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Because we needed to leave room for this rambling conversation
about how we don't know enough about the history of
New Zealand, which I'm allowed not know, by the way. Yeah,
you're the gaps in your knowledge is more stark.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Than absolutely are from here. They're disgusting.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
But yes, So one thing we got wrong in the
evening was we said that Vikings never went to island,
so they embarrassing. But one thing that we were saying
is from our perspective, you growing up on Swords. You've
got all these ancient buildings, you've got Vikings, remnants of Vikings.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
In fact, there's actually a castle in Swords where they
film episodes of the TV show Vikings.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Right, that's true, that's aw Viking. Yes, said that.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
And here's another example of me and one terrible person
I am. I did a tour of Norway and my
promoter referred to that show as Vikings, which is how
they pronounce it Vikings. Yeah, and I said, it's pronounced Vikings.
I told the Norwegian to pronounce the word Viking. Now,
if you ever want to be told that you're a
smart art, that's I think that's the greatest example there.
(22:54):
So you're saying Viking wrong.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
So we need when you come to New Zealand, do
you it must look so new and slapped together, you
know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (23:05):
So in your eyes.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Traveling around Europe, you know this was what's the coolest
thing for a New Zealander As we go over seas
and we go to a town like Swords, and we
see a tower and we can't believe it. We can't
believe people aren't making it, celebrating it and running around
it and talking about it.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Constantly.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
I was in Paris recently and I was down in
this alleyway and there was this huge building that was
from some time, and I said to the waiter, what's
that and he goes, oh, because but it would be
the most celebrated building in New Zealand if it was here.
So from your eyes you becoming to New Zealand since
nineteen ninety seven, it must look just a bit slapped
together and new.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
No.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
I actually find myself like, I come somewhere like this.
It's got the same population as Ireland. And I look
at these modern cities everywhere and I go, we go,
we have stuff like this. We don't have a sky
tower in Dublin, you know, like we have a thing
in Dublin called the Spire, which is literally just a spy.
It's not even a building. It's like a piece of art.
(24:02):
You can't go up it. It's just a big tall spike.
It's the it's the top of the sky tower. They
just took the antenna and just put that in the
center of O'Connell Street and went there. There's there, there's
a skyscraper. There's at least the top of a skyscraper.
We don't have sky we.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Have Liberty what's the highest building.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
In Liberty Hall, which is it's it's like twenty stories
that it's not a it's not a tall building, and
and part of me was like, why do we have
stuff like that? That's what I genuinely feel like.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
But we call them lakers here, buildings that are being
thrown out with poor building standards that didn't have to
be reclared.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
But I was because I first landed here in ninety seven.
You just built the sky Tower, and everyone was very
excited about it, particularly it was really I mean, it
was eight in the world at the time, which was
a great thing to build. Yeah, but for you, it
was it was like it was taller than they had
in Australia. That's all that counts that. It was just
(24:56):
like focus in Australia, that's just build there is a
little taller than that. And it was your joke about
the fact that it does kind of cheat, like the
sea and tower and cons like it's already building for
so long and then it's just a spike and then
it's just like that's like me putting the toothpick and
the animal penis. Look at the length of that it's
not the same.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Well, and then they never painted the skytower. You must
have come back and gone every time gone. Are they
going to get rid of painting there? It's a still
concrete color.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Are they ever going to paint the bastard?
Speaker 3 (25:26):
It's a testament to how what a successful business gambling is, though,
isn't it the biggest building in your town?
Speaker 4 (25:32):
Is?
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Yeah, but you actually.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
Made a good point that what's preventing them from chucking
another stick on top.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Of it that goes up to make it taller. Surely
I think this rule is about how long your sticks
are llowed to be Well, who makes that role?
Speaker 4 (25:49):
The International Tool Building Association, who makes that rule.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
They'll come down on you like a ton of bricks
if you if you, if you had an extra area
on top of the area on top of the area
on top of your large pole, and then claim the
higher than the Impire State building.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (26:03):
I was in Melbourne a few months ago and the
tallest building in Melbourne you get up to the observation,
it's not the talle the building.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
That you can go up the skydeck.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
You go up it and the first thing you see
when you get a lift is a taller building that
got built about a year later by arrival multi millionaire.
And it's just like the point of going up a
big building like that. You're not supposed to stand there
and go wouldn't it be cool to work in that
office up there. That's not how it's supposed to be.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
It would suck.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
It would suck if you've spent all that money, all
that Hubers spent on trying to have the tallest building,
and someone just immediately goes up.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Well, it's like, you know, when you have a cafe
and it's doing quite well, and then someone opens a
cafe right next door, and you imagine what it's like
going to work, and you go, you guys, just having
a cafe right next door. I mean, it's quite a
big move. You put your put your big thing right
side the other big thing.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
We put this here just for you for your staff
to come to before they go to work in your one.
You know, then it comes out who could open five
minutes before the other one?
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
I was looking before at the temperature today in Dublin
and I said to Matt. I've been to Dublin a
couple of times, and I said to Matt, if I
said to you it's summer and Dublin at the moment,
what is the temperature, What's the first thing that will
come to your mind? And Matt said eighteen And I
said it's eighteen. That's exactly what. It's cloudy and it's
(27:21):
eighteen today and that was exactly me.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
That was the first.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
Does it ever move away from eighteen in summer in Dublin.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Not often, No, no. Darryl O'Brien had a funny routine
about going to Australia and seeing a thing saying the
overnight low temperature will be twenty two degrees the overnight.
If it was that temperature overnights in Ireland, you'd be
getting the kids out of bed and taking them to
the beach. Well, they never see twenty two degrees.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Again, Well, this morning is and there's mornings in Australia
for Australian's. You know, tourists coming to New Zealand, they
will say it's not hot, like you think it's gonna
be hot. They in New Zealand, we get excited at
about twenty four. At twenty four, we're like, that's that's
hot for an Australian. They're like, get out of town.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Well, I've never been in New Zealand in the winter before.
I normally come here to April May, right, so this
is the first time i've been here, you know, in
your way. And it's not as cold as I thought
it was going to be. I have packed like proper
arctic carry on, we'll hold.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
It's fourteen degrees today.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
It's yeah, Auckland's very well. But but I'm looking here
and you are going to the cargo.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
You'll get cold down there. But the third of August,
now it doesn't get any cold. Then are Queenstown can
Queenstown's colder?
Speaker 4 (28:33):
Actually yeah, but yeah, you it's this is a big
difference between say the Cargo in the middle of winter
and then Auckland or North. And you're not going any
further than Auckland are in North No, No.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
It Takapoona.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Across the bridge. It's a bit warmer. It's maybe a
degree warmer, and that's probably a great warmer. I'm glad.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
I packed a whole range of clothes.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
So you obviously you've been here a number of times.
Is this the most extensive tour you've done?
Speaker 1 (29:04):
I think so, I yeah, it's I'm going to for
the first time. I don't think I've performed and wrote au.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Before on a hot pole.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Yeah, I may I have been. I went there on
mid day off on the last tour, and I came
here last year, but I haven't performed there so and
that's selling really badly. You haven't been.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
It's one of those tourist downs through where it's like,
you know a lot of transient you know, so that
that feel about that one, Yeah, I feel for Australians
just dipping the towe on a hot pole and getting out.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Yeah, so well I'm going there. I'm going There's a
few plays I've been I have been to before that
I'm not going to this time. I did a few
tours ago that was weird. I was doing a show
called Different Class, which by which up until this show,
I'm sorry to say that, but this show has been
the best reviewed show I've ever done. It's beenridiculous. The plots,
(30:01):
oh my goodness, Oh my goodness. But previously that was
the show called Different Class, which I toured all over
the UK and Australia and New Zealand and it went
very well until I got to Omaru and the first
three jokes of the show. Nothing, nothing like nothing, And
I just ditched the show and just went and just
did like greatest hits. Just just ended up doing just
jokes that I wrote twenty years ago. Yeah, a bunch
(30:23):
of one lines about Yeah it worked. Was it the
the first time I've ever done that on a tour
where the show I was intending to do, I.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Just ditched and did other stuff in was it the
south end or the north end of.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Remember think it was a beautiful town. Yeah, it's a
gold rush town Stone Yeah, yep, yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
I mean the south end is the southeenst When you
did that, we did the parade, wasn't it.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
Yeah, so down the old the old town end with
all the motors, stone, those buildings and stuff like that.
Because the first slice to have refrigeration, right uh in
New Zealand, that was the first place that they used
to refrigerate and seeing mate off over so came out
of Wame and so there was a lot of money
there at one sage And yes, gold.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Well you could have refrigerated meat cold stare that my
first three jokes received. Did you go to I didn't know?
Speaker 4 (31:13):
Okay, Of the two rus, I prefer Wamo actually the
one that you that you went to.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Right, I found out a tricky gig, so I'm no offense.
I'm decided against.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Was it at the Amor town Hall? Beautiful, beautiful, that's
at the south end. I'll tell you.
Speaker 4 (31:35):
The other thing is that something. It's quite a big
town hall, that one. I mean you fat Selli's, which
is the restaurant down there. I've had some great meals
at fat Sellies over the years, and that for me,
that's the highlight of Wamero.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
You haven't.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
You must have gone to fat Selli's when you went there.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
I have no memory when when when a gig goes
as difficult as that, that's all you think about, really,
all of the incidentals around it. I think I probably
just went and got drunk and just tried to wait.
Whole memory.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Yeah, yeah, Well it's an interesting town, but it's not
as punchy as as tom is.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
It's not a white Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Looking at my my itinerary, where is the place I'm
going to, you reckon, I'm going to encounter the most weirdness.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Okay, that's a great it's a good question.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
I can tell you straight away. I've seen it straightaway.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
You're not going to go in North Paris, the North
North parmis the North, the one that called the asshole
of the world and a good place to comit silicie.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Yeah, and then so they I mean.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
It's can you tell if he if he came out
of there alive, I mean, if he was going to
be you know, you can't, Yeah, you can't. You can't
even compare it. They named the.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
Dump af from the Tips now called the John Cleese
Tip there after it because he was so mean about
them inflammatory statements. I actually don't know what happened to
him there that he didn't didn't like it.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
I think he I think he actually touched on something
that a lot of people have felt and observed, observed themselves,
but never quite put to words. And I actually, but interestingly,
I interviewed the mayor of Parmeston North recently. It's good
but good guy, and he said, like Parmeson North, he goes,
that's a pretty ship place he was, he goes, But
you know what, we're a farmer, farming, service town and
(33:17):
we're fine with where we are. We're very comfortable. We're
not trying to pretend to be a tourist town.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
They've got the All Blacks Museum there.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
Yeah, we do very well for ourselves down here, thanks
very much.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
We've got a lot of actually very funny comedians come
out of Palmerston North from there.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Uh what's his name? Cool?
Speaker 4 (33:32):
Jeremy Corbt, Jeremy Corbett and Laura Daniel. Yeah, I think
that's that's But humor is often to overcome adversities.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Don't think it's. Yeah, it doesn't speak well of a
town if a lot of good comedians, but I think
it's only a bad town like Navin in Ireland has
produced some of the greatest comedians and it's because it's it's.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
And this is something people say about Ireland all the time.
But like say you're you're saying five million people in Ireland,
five million people in New Zealand roughly. How come everyone's
always talking about Ireland and Irish people. It must be
the most talked about country in the world per head
of population. I don't know if you do this stats
about it, but people you're always Ireland is always on
(34:15):
people's lips, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Well it means Ireland Irish.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
It tends to come up when I'm being individ that's
because I'm from That reminds you of the Jimmy carriage.
He met a girl called just Alga or something like that,
and he goes, that's not an Emmy here every day.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
She goes, I do, that's a good joke.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
But I noticed how I'm always keen to credit everybody
who I wouldn't have known.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
I know, that's very honorable.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
I reckon as New Zealand is, we're a little bit
jealous of the fact that as a country of the
same size, we struggle for significance and we always wish that,
you know, our identity was a little bit more well known,
a little bit better. And so when we travel overseas,
people do obviously make means to the fact, you know,
particularly in the States, that we're from New Zealand, but
then nothing about New Zealand.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
But it's you suffer from the same thing the Irish
people do, and that you are overshadowed by your louder, bigger,
next door neighbor. It's the same thing as Canadians and Mexicans,
you know, yeah, overshadowed by by the USA. And you know,
we all have that in common. Of the the the scrappy,
younger brother right next door. And I think that's a
I think it's it's very hard not for that not
(35:26):
to be ingrained in a nation psyche.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
You know. Yeah. Yeah, And also and I think.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Of yeah, same thing, the same as like I guess
even the Austrian compared to Germany. That's the thing. Like
you know, if you say you know from Germany, no Austria,
you know yourself, you'll be yeah, the same thing.
Speaker 4 (35:42):
Yeah, yeah, well at the same time, but Orish culture
has spread itself. It has spread itself around the world
in a way that we are jealous of. We are
jealous of how Irish culture for people for a country
as small as Ireland is and as many people as Ireland.
As Matt said, I think of population far more well.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
I guess well, I'd like to think I'm doing my
bit successful people.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Coming out of Ireland as well, well well known people.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
But it's an interesting You'll be able to sell more
tickets here than I will in Ireland, right, that's the thing,
you know. I'll come here and do however many you
know in this in this month that I'm here, I'm
hope hopefully I'll sell like eight nine thousand tickets. I
wouldn't do that in a year in Ireland because.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
That's because you've been coming since ninety ninety seven. Probably.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
I think when I go to Ireland, when I do
gigs in Ireland, people just assume that I'll be there
again the following week. Where people know when I come here,
this is it. Come now, and you won't see me
again until next year or the year after, and you
won't you won't see this show again like this, this
is the show I'm doing. I'm going to be here
now and then that's it.
Speaker 6 (36:47):
You won't get to see the show us and some
people a different show because you clearly are not, like
you don't laugh at the first three jokes, and you'll
get a completely different show together.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
Now, I don't don't want to make this whole thing
about Ireland. I don't know how to slipped that way.
But it was just because it was the most fun
things to talk about. But when was it that it changed?
So when I was a kid, people used to make
Irish jokes and then on a dime it flipped to
then Ireland being the most sort of respected and anyone
with an Irish accent would immediately get laid and it
(37:19):
flipped on a dime from people saying, like I remember
a school teacher saying to me once the Irish helicopter joke,
it's got an adjectocy.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
There was used to be those jokes around now.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
And then it changed really click quickly, and now you
can't even imagine anyone making a joke to say that
Irish people are stupid.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
I don't ever think that's about Ireland though those jokes
went in the same Polish jokes in America wand around
the same time those lazy you know jokes, was an
idiot came a joke just kind of just disappeared anyway,
just just.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Of someone's an idiot jokes around.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
I mean in Ireland we tell them the same jokes,
and people told us Irish jokes. We told us carry jokes.
It was the carry man did this out or the
other that was that was, yeah, it was, and it
was the exact same jokes. But those all of those
jokes just disappeared because it's just they were done. I
think generally, I know it sounds where people's sense of
humor just got a little bit more sophisticated. And yeah,
(38:18):
even jokes about Scottish people being mean, stuff like that,
you know, not English and Irish and Scotland jokes. They
just kind of went away because I think people just
got more generally in their humor.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
I don't think it's.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
People like to talk about that.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
It was.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
It was, you know, because Ireland suddenly became like top
of our field in information technology and all this kind
of stuff. But I really think that was what it.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Was, right.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
It was just that that format of joke just fell
out of favor.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
Also possibly going up intned as I was, which is
heavily Scottish. Maybe it was just this as also anti
Irish rhetoric from the Scots.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
It possible, Yeah, possible. It's good to know that people
it was it was always light rubbing and if it
was itally it was good to get to the bottom
of it. Yeah. Yeah, Ed, thanks for coming in. Thanks
so much so your shows.
Speaker 3 (39:04):
You're playing in Auckland twenty five, twenty sixth, and the
eighth and ninth, so you're donating donuting Auckland.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
You've got Hastings pumps the North.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
I think the twenty fifth is not happening now, that's
the twenty sixth.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
The twenty sixth, eighth and ninth. You're in Pumpson North
twenty eighth, twenty ninth, christ It's thirty first, Queenstown first
of August, and Eeding second and Macable third, Nelson sixth,
Hamilton tenth, fourteenth, Totonger fifteenth, Takapuna sixteenth, and Wellington on
the seventeenth. But when you look at that, does that
(39:37):
seem like it?
Speaker 2 (39:37):
It seems like a lot. That seems like a lot sounds.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
A long way to come. I may as well go everywhere.
And it's some beautiful country. I'm not just saying that.
I do like troubling around it.
Speaker 3 (39:46):
Oh good, well, thanks for coming in and thanks for
coming back.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
Cheers it. Thank you, Ed.
Speaker 4 (39:54):
I'm going to see you again in about three hours time,
all right because TV, Thank you bags.
Speaker 3 (40:03):
Furious conversation there. Yeah, you did stay true to yours
that you were going to say.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
What time do you call this? Yeah, made it awkward
at the start. He didn't. Then I released the valve,
appreciated me for saying that. Yeah, the interview. The interview
didn't really come back. No, that's that's what happens when
you do that.
Speaker 3 (40:20):
Yeah, when you when you're sort of we've got to
be prepared to stay true so we just had to go.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
Full island for the whole duration, just talk about what
he knows.
Speaker 3 (40:28):
There was an exercise and just overcoming the hurdle of
your first question that I had to ask.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
I know, you didn't. I'm not blaming it. You had to.
You said you would, and you did it, and I
respect that. But but Jeremy, you've got a mate. There
was some collateral damage. Yeah, he didn't shake my hand
at the end. No, he didn't. He did not shake
your hand at the end. No. No, And that's going
to be awkward for that seven sharp interview coming out.
I've got another interview. Yeah yeah, yeah, okay, so cool.
(40:54):
I mean, how do you feel about it?
Speaker 1 (40:55):
You?
Speaker 2 (40:56):
I mean with it? Okay, yeah, fine with it? Yeah. Yeah.
I liked him. I liked him too, smart guy. Yeah,
I like him a lot.
Speaker 4 (41:05):
I like them, I like them heaps.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
I liked him.
Speaker 3 (41:09):
I think I liked him more than you liked him.
And I definitely liked him more than he liked you.
Speaker 4 (41:15):
Well, it was easy for him to dislike me because
I asked that first question and I noticed that. So
he was definitely favoring you more than he was favoring me.
But you know, as I said, that's just the way
it goes. I mean, someone's got to ask the hard questions.
Speaker 2 (41:31):
Do you reckon?
Speaker 3 (41:32):
This is quite a shitty setup we've got here in
the studio. I mean, I know this podcast is getting
quite long now, but there's a shitty set up in
the studio where our guests have to flip their heads
back and forth between us, so they're raither looking at
you or looking at me.
Speaker 2 (41:45):
It must be tough. It's it's imagine doing that.
Speaker 4 (41:48):
Yeah, well, well it's better than it's better than some
other ways some have they he was facing.
Speaker 2 (41:54):
The wall, and good look at any of us.
Speaker 3 (41:56):
I know, but we could kill us to have a
cafe environment where we've got a smaller table, all sitting
closer together.
Speaker 2 (42:01):
So I mean, I get it, I get.
Speaker 3 (42:02):
It Ruder and Mash, But I mean, in a minute,
I've got the same problem with Ruder and Mash exactly.
Speaker 4 (42:09):
It's fine, you can actually talk to people that are
around from you. The worst is when both of us
are double ending. You know, both of us are coming
in from one end from one end, like if we
were both sitting at it. It's an interrogation technique. So
if we were sitting at the same table facing the guests,
and the guest was just facing us at a single
disc like in a school disc. And that's horrific because
(42:30):
you get you get smashed in the face by two
people at the same time. This is this is far
better experience what it's like to be on the receiving
end of the double double ending, double ended dildo.
Speaker 2 (42:40):
You I think between two beers, we'll double engine. Yep,
they double they'll double engine. It's really full on. Yeah,
there'll be a DP situation.
Speaker 3 (42:48):
Well, when I'm in doob with my thumb up my ass,
I'm right behind Jerry the whole morning, just hanging out
at the back of him.
Speaker 2 (42:54):
The whole morning. I can see you and Mash.
Speaker 1 (42:56):
Really well, but unfortunately I can never see Jerry's face.
Speaker 3 (43:00):
I very really look at Jerry because there's an alley
just behind us here, and so I mainly spend the
morning watching bay belly.
Speaker 2 (43:08):
Excuse me, who babelly? Who's baby belly belly?
Speaker 3 (43:12):
Is that Kirsty sister's bellybelly? Not only not only out
there now, but let's just coming down baby belly now?
Speaker 2 (43:21):
Hot vapor out there her? What about the big vapor?
Nice not my not my cup of coffee. That's fine,
it's fine, that's fine. That's what what's that description?
Speaker 4 (43:33):
It's fine, fine, it's fine. That's dehumanizing, that's fine.
Speaker 5 (43:41):
Do you know if there's an idea were great people,
should we do a podcast from Bolly.
Speaker 2 (43:47):
Let's do it out there in Bay Belly, down the
wind tunnel. I'll set up the podcast out there. It'll
be we'll bring a jacket and Jerry, all right, what
do you think there? She looked at you. That's fine,
that's a past mark. That's fine. This has got it.
This is the whole that's fine.
Speaker 4 (44:06):
Thing that's I find that so disturbing. Do you I'd
rather deliver a number then that's fine, Like that's Jerry.
Speaker 3 (44:13):
Over the years, I've become to be non judgmental about
what goes up and down Bay Belly and just appreciate
what's served up to me.
Speaker 2 (44:20):
I mean, we don't all get to look at me, or.
Speaker 3 (44:21):
You get you get the pleasure of just staring at
me the whole fucking show. And that's that's like feast
your eyes, mate, feast your eyes. This way we we
we me into a lesser restinct mess because he has
to move his head about thirteen degrees.
Speaker 2 (44:38):
That's not anything about that. That's not okay, that's not okay,
but interesting, but she mess You see them arriving a
so I often see you. You. You you'll spark.
Speaker 3 (44:46):
Up when someone's coming down because you see that you're
a bar up it just like, hell, I don't You'll
just so you just and.
Speaker 2 (44:55):
Then I'll say I want to and I'll be like,
I wonder what's coming down baby belly.
Speaker 5 (44:58):
Okay, Well, if you're really like if you my honest
pinning the four pillars of Bay Belly, Marcus medicine number one.
Speaker 2 (45:04):
Yep, oh God, number two. Careful Laura, my girlfriend.
Speaker 5 (45:07):

in terms of the four pillars, no particular order.
Speaker 2 (45:12):
Number three. Delete that that little delay delay this podcast
before we leave.
Speaker 4 (45:27):
You might get baby Belly. I get the bait catcher.

Excuse me. Sometimes you miss out on the bait.
Speaker 3 (45:35):
Or you find muppets that are too dumb to work
out that you have to press a button made for
the daughter, get caught in the bake catcher.
