Graphic Design for Dad's Birthday

There are millions of them. Some might say too many? I have one already. I don't have any because there are enough. Politics, businessiness, sport, you name it. There's a podcast about it, and they all ask the big questions and cover the hot topics of the day. But nobody is covering the most important topic of all. Why is that? Are they scared? Too afraid of being censored by the man Possibly, but not us. We're here to ask the only question that matters. We'll try and say it at the same time, Max. What did you doesterday yesterday? What did you do yesterday? That's it. All we're interested in is what the guest got up to yesterday, Nhing more. Day before yesterday, Max? No, the greatest and most interesting day of your life Unless it was yesterday We don't want to know about it. I'm Max Rushton, and I'm David O'Dah Hvey. Welcome to What did You do yesterday Hello and welcome to What Did You Do Yester. My name's Max Roston, alongside me David O'Doherty. Now I first met Shane, Daniel Burn. Oh yeah, when did you? In March of twenty twenty six. Oh yeah. Vicker Street, Dublin, where I was performing my one man show, What did You Do yesterday Oh wow. So we did a live part in Dublin a couple of months ago and like my first thought for a guest was Shane Daniel Byrne, who people from overseas I mean they might know him from his standup comedy. He is the star. He is one third of Young Hot Gu, which is one of Ireland's most popular podcasts. He's just a great I mean, he's already a rackentur. That's the wrong word, but he's just a great conversationalist Yeah And we never released the live ones. I do like that about us, Max. Were you'd like to keep something secret People don't know a lot about our lives from this podcast. We definitely keep up a there is a wall between us when we announced him on the live show. because on the live shows, we don't tell you who the special guest is. Yeah we did with Sam Camll because we had to shift a thousand tickets. But we shifted those in Dublin because of my great reach in Ireland. Y. There were some people in the audience who sort of did the kind of Beatles in the sixties face, a bit like that painting. They went A, Sh Daniel So this is a great day He comes across as one of the I've met him twice, just such a lovely he begins as a lovely man. you know, Yeah. his first play is I'm a great guy, but not in a kind of showy way in a just by actions, not words. It's a low key day where I mean he fails to go to the gym. A lot of beautiful, he fails to watch a video. It's a day of intense That's as much as the Angeloni bonk Shane will be at the Edinburgh Festival fringe this summer with his new show and I've seen some bits. It is an absolute stunter. The show is called Baby this time This is what Shane Daniel Byrne did yesterday Chy Daniel Ben, welome what What did You do Yesterday. Thank you very much. What a pleasure. Can we declare that you said I was the best prepared, most professional guest So far Hang on We need to make it clear to the listeners. You are in a group of two Wh has done this for the second time? The other being Nish Kumar because you did our Dublin live event brought the house down And now we find out was that yesterday a one off? because that was a pretty exciting yesterday you had done. Did Sam Campbell not do the live as well and the normal podcast? A grou That's tr three edit this back in a group of three who have done it. Yeah. because I just feel like the details are important because I did the live podcast and the audience and the listeners of the podcast are very committed to the podcast And I think detail is important and I don't want you getting emails about actuallyctually Sam Campbell, I'll foundound it, you know. Also for the tape, you did bring the house down, but you also got booed for microwaving some scrrabbled eggs and putting mayonnaise in the eggs before you microwaved it. And I've never seen an audience turn so quickly on anyone. It was honestly violent, wasn't it Well I told everybody that I tried this one's fair enough. I have two opinions on this. One I did the egg in the microwave, scrambled egg in the microwave, and two, I did it with mayonnaise. I saw it on internet that mayonnaise is a fatty thing and you need a bit of fat like butter in your scrambled egg. So I tried it I didn't care for it. It was a bit slippery. but life is for living. However, I do think booing me for making it in the microwave This is a class issue And I think that people need to check their privilege and that we don't all have a beautiful setup to do eggs on at home. And also I learned from my mother and she had many mouths to feed and a job. So she did it in the microwave and that's what I did. So that's what I maintain Yeah, yeah. And just for the tape, your preparation, that gave the impression that we ask people to prepare for this podcast in any other way than just living the day before. but your technical setup is perate because sometimes the listeners don't hear the forty five minutes where we're trying to get a comedian to sound like you can actually hear them. withithout them telling us And then also you emerged from a door just behind the mic. and you were pulling, you know when barristers are going to court for what's obviously a really long case, like the Gilford four or something, and they have like a full truck stacks of paper on it. That's the level of preparation I'm getting for But also the smoke from stars in their eyes. So like they had both. I have a full time stage technician who is in house in my house and he has just been brilliant. Thank you. So I want to shout out to Dimth. He's been incredible. Thank you so much Dimth for all your support Shine, when did you wake up yesterday morning, please? Yesterday, I woke up at five AM. Wh Yeah. My performance. Yeah, I had to get up and do a cold plunge I was woken up because I was dropping my boyfriend Raymond to the airport. He said, So what timees do we have to get up twenty past four? And I said, you wake me at five AM. Yeah. And he woke me at Bangon five zero zero on the clock and he had coffee for me. He woke me up and said, there is coffee there. Now I know that I'm doing him a favor, but I think that your partner bringing you coffee or tea, hot drink in the morning is pinnacle of romance. I do think that is the most romantic thing a person can do for another person. It is beautiful, however on my social media at the moment is one guy whose main thing is don't drink your coffee for a s of the morning. Is he the man who's going for a walk forty five minutes? Is he that one? He appears on both sides of the screen And he's like, went out last night. It was a great night. I had four pints, three shots. I got a big chipper chips on the way back and his calorie total is going up. And sort of good Angel is on the right who's like, I went out last night. I had a pint of vodka and it's like fifteen calories And now today I feel great. That's his vibe Don't drink, hot things first see in the morning. And while what Raymond did is lovely, he might be trying to kill you Yeah, the social media people telling us what to do. This might be a bit of a hot take, but I'm starting to think we've been doing this for twenty years now I'm starting to think social media might be a good idea. but I'm starting to feel that maybe this wasn't a good idea to give everyone And now high definition cameras on our phones and all. I am actually exhausted because it does seep in. My phone has bombarding me lately with Pm with your penis like constantly. And I'm not I'm thirty seven. I feel like I have time. It used to be about just like you trouble getting hurt, can'tatisfy your girl because it doesn't know I'm gay. But now it's gone into now there's women on my aunts who probably are AI generated going. Hey guys, bit of tightness down there. Nothing to be embarrassed about, so now I'm worried about my foreskin every day. And I used to live a life without that concern. I've got a man The trouble I have is because I keep forwarding high performance things to my friends and they hate it. I might now get more and more of them and you. just people talking very slowly with the pinky punky music in the background going These are the things I would tell my twenty one year old self And they're talking so slowly. and then I just can't stop myself from watching them. So I get them and now I get a man who's telling me what exercise to do in the morning. it's basically just jump up and down, like for as long as you can. For as long as you can, jump up. And I'm like, Is this theent where you go? All these guys are there talking shit, are they? Please leave us alone Please So it's a at that time of the morning, it's a half hour drive to Dublin Airport. Are you worried you may be insufficiently awake when you take the wheel No, I'm okay because I've had a nice hot coffee, which I know a lot of people don't agree with. H a hot coffee in. No, I felt okay about it. I've actually realized I've never dropped anyone to the airport before. So Raymond's just off on his trip and there's a tiny part of me feeling it's a big day for me too ' that is a r of passage, I think. How long is Raymond going away for Because if he was just like, I'm off for two days, you'd be like, just get a taxi. Is it going away for six months and so it's an emotional thing? or are you just a very nice A I think a lift is one of the nicest things you can give to a person And I think, you know what I hate when someone gives you half a lift you know when someone's dropping might be dropping your home from something? like when I was growing up if you'd be camping or whatever and someone else's dad would say, I'll just drop his hair. that I'll put in that corner could save me going around And you would be like, okay, but it is two kilometers to my home, like from here. Yeah. So I hate half a lift and I drop people to their door. I think that's important He's gone for like five days. He's gone to a fortieth Indubrovnik Which I think is a bit much and that people are very demanding, aren't they Hly Yes. The question here for Irish listeners is it terminal one or terminal two? So terminal one max in Dublin is more the chickens flapping terminal. You know what I mean? Where there's just dogs jumping through flaming hoops. It's got that. I give you thirty euros for the plane, like that sort of a thing. Whereas terminal two is more the high performance terminal Yeah, it's high glamour. He's going terminal two, he's flying Airlingus. So terminal two. Yeah, cool. Do you just chat in the car Do you listen to anything? I can't remember well, we chatted a bit, but we were having a good crack in the car. I can't remember what it was about, but we were having a bit of a laugh. I forget what it was because it was early yesterday morning, but we did have a laugh the wholell way and it is so nice to drive through the town when it's empty. It's so fun. Dgan is old city. I always have this weird thing if I'm the only person on a street at a given time like My turn, my go. I don't know that is. I have this feeling of like, this is my time to be here. I don't know. I don't know what that is. I'm a doulinner. I don't. I'm connected to it or something. That time of morning can be quite a seagullsy time as well. when you really get to see some six foot seagulls ripping bin bags apart and eating chips off the street. It's a beautiful time of the morning. Why has Raymond been invited to the party? but you've not been invited Oh wow, he's digging. He's got his shovel out. 'ause it's his people. I was invited, but I am busy so I couldn't go. When I can't go, I'm like, great. Oh brilliant not do something. But then if I was there, I would enjoy it, you know the kind of A hundred percent, obviously have fun, but now I'm like, o, I'm going classic I'm delighted, ye. You found yourself up really early. So if it's I'd say you drop him to the airport by five thirty, five forty. He got there around six I think. so he allowed me time to wake up in the house. Do you just like drop him, open the door and say see you later or do you go in? do you park the car in the short stays? He didn't get out of the car I was wondering, was I going to get out of the car too? And then Raymond was kind of in charge of it. and when I stopped, he was like, okay, bye. I was like, okay, Graant. We're not getting out because that would be a bit much. And also what if we kissed on the outside and what if we got attacked for being gay? You know, Th things can happen. These These are the concerns gay people have, Can we have a quick smooch at the airport? Who knows? I would have liked if you had gone right into the terminal and on one of those annoying pianos played him off Bye, Raymond. I wish I could kiss you, but I' is set on fire. you know, something like that. I parked in the set down only, so I don't know where those people park who see off their partners or children question Have you ever and I'll answer this If you need an answer from me. Question. The question is, have you ever? No I'll answer this. This is an all new interview technique from David right the guest. I'll take this on David. Thank you, David Have you ever Din descried T shirt t you into the bike? Have you ever cried at Dublin airport departures while trying to glimpse through the sort of stars in their eyes doors that open and shut to get a last glimpse of a bike. B because I have. You've done this? Yeah, my first girlfriend going back to America when we were in university Absolute scenes. Was that the end because she's going home and that's it? No, I think she was going home for Christmas. Oh Yeah. well, the first cut is the deepest. Yeah. haveave you ever done that? No, but when I went to Australia for Do chs I found that interesting because in the queue, it's all the lots of the young people who are emigrating to Australia. So I'm there going off all excited for myself going, what a cool thing. I'm getting to do comedy in Australia. And I'm all excited and I'm nervous or whatever. And I'm excited about having a visa when I did that. They're like, and do you have your visa? I was like, Yes, I do. I was so excited to be working as an exceptional talent or whatever they call it My talents are so exceptional that I simply must go to those. Yeah. But then there was all young people and there was a few it was just A girl and they weren't flying in a gang. I told you when you emmigrate, you might go, you know, myself in Kya, we're going to Australia. We're going to give it. But there was just a young girl on her own and it was just her and her mom and dad. And I just thought it was just so sad And I nearly wept. and then I texted my own parents then going, oh, it's really sad because they just dropped me off. And I was like, it's really sad. All the kids are, you know, flying to Australia. And then my mother texted back she said, I'm crying reading that now So I can. But I did feel I probably go for a year, maybe too. who knows? Maybe she'll stay permanently or whatever, but I did think of This is too emotional. but I did think of all the people who just left Ireland and when they used to leave, they used just leave forever and then never see them again. That was at the end. who wasn't like your first girlfriend going home for Christmas. They just leave. I did think about all those things in that moment. So an airport or a train station can be interesting places for your thoughts because they're so Transitory or whatever. there's so much movement. I don't know. Yeah. Oh no, Shane. We've got Max here. It's fine. I left my parents just at the age where they might need me more than I might I need them. It's perfect. But I go back often enough, but I do know genuinely like every time I sort of leave for like five months I am a bit like, oh, that's, you know Yeah. And then a minute, you know, if you've got two young kids, one of them chat on the floor and so you're like, okay, you know, life is carrying on. We said we're having a baby and we moved to Australia and I think They sort of went, These eggs are nice, aren't they Do you want to have the coffee? Did you say you' having the baby and then and also left you' like, we're gonna to have a baby but you don't get to see it and we're gonna keep it. Iically, yeah Yeah, that's tough work. Well done. I know. Don't text your mum that. shame. Okay, so with' six AM. You've dropped Raymond and you are ree but it's earlier than normal from my understanding of your life from the one other time I've met you gone through a yesterday. Yeah, and I'm feeling good. I'm feeling good in the car. I listened to an Irish music band called Madra Salk. which means dirty dog. And they're kind of the next g band to arrive on the new Irish wave, the Gaelic revival that's happening. The next bewitched tour Mot sonic very like bewitched, I'm sure. They also do a version of a song called Spanil Hill, which is an old song about place in Clare, which is not towns. It's more of a township And I learned it in school in third class so like about eight when I was about eight. and it's this like old song about oh my Godd, it's about immigration. It's about having left and I f in America Dreaming of Ireland And I one time then was in the place called Spansil Hill and I was looking for like a lovely town. and then the lady said, no, it's more of a township But anyway, that's not the h of there. That's not really part of yesterday. You'll get that sometimes. Songs can sometimes do that to you. You really build them up. until you visit it. And yeah, Hotel California California iss more of a township. Do you know, I was in a really good mood. I had done something the previous night, I'd done a gig and I felt really I' stuff for my new show and I felt really usually at this time of year I hate myself and my comedy and everything. And this year I felt like, oh after I enjoyed that like I'm after enjoying that now and I'm excited for a new show. huge. Never done that ever. yeah So I felt kind of peaceful. I was feeling peaceful in the car and I was looking at the The drive home's not as good. It wasn't through the city, it was around the ring route so wasn't as good Do you consider a trip to IkeEA becausecause IKEA and Dublin is close to the airport. Does it open at six P'ro probablybably open pretty early, but you don't wantan to get there an hour before. do of the queue for IEA. I'm sure there are people who are waiting there every morning, though I'd say there's people who need to go I would like to go to IKEA for like just the little bits though. I' go straight to the bits bit. I don't need to go around but I like it, ye I need one of those octopuses that has ten tentacles and each of them has two clothes pegs on them. I need one of those right now. A deceopus, Is that what that's called? It has ten? I have one here. Yeah. Everyone in Dublin has this tenen legged octopus with clothes ps on You know what I'm talking about? All the undies and the socks can go on at then, so you can leave the washing line for the bigger items. But the only time I've seen one of these was at the live show that you were on when somebody sent us a photo of their washing and it had one of these I think everyone in Ireland has a ten legged octopus. I haveone here. There it is. There's the ASMR The only three people I know of this that have one or want one are the two of you and the man who sent a photo in the live show. I like the idea of David now using this podcast as a kind of swaps and sales type. If anyone has one going, it's kind of eBay. couldould you deliver it to David? That would be great. Okay, so we get on the ring road and we go home. Do we go straight home I prese Yeah, straight home and I was like, o, I can nap now. I was like, those are one of the most delicious naps you can get if you've been up. But it's still a morning. That's a very good high quality nap But I ended up being a pig and just looking at my phone and doing phone things And then at around seven, I was due to go to the gym at eight. I go to this gym. I'm supposed to go three times a week. It's a class based gym And you do classes. And I was like started to worry that I wasn't going to be able, what if I fall asleep and I'll wake up in time for the class at eight Yeah. And then at five to seven, I cancellled it This kind of really ruined not ruined the day, but it did make me feel guilty about. I was like, what did I do that for? I should have just got up. I should have just gone to it. There was no need for me to do that. I was awake. Oh ye. But did you cancel it and go to bed I lounged in the bed for ages. I did some little mini sleeps maybe, but I just lounged and I looked at Americans on the TikTok. That's what I did. Whoa, whoa, whoa, I can't be the only one who you said class based gym. J just thought. There were different sections. The surfs are in here. and they just have to do sort of basic plowing type stuff. And then topop heart balancing, obviously the top huge Ferara Rache. They're just lifting them above their heads. Yeah. So I do the starboard classes. That's what I do No, it's like fitness classes throughout. Yes, Shane. question here from our live event. David, will you take that question, please? I' got the question David. whichich was in March You were just starting your fitness journey then. Have you been on it now for three months? Yeah, and I love it. I love it so much. Like if it was this was ten years ago, like say if I was in my mid twenties You don't think you're old and then you are a little bit like if I was going to the gym three times a week and walking more and cycling more, I would have lost like two stonees Because I'm old, it just takes longer. You look great. You used to be able to like go for like two weeks and be like, all right, bikini ready, that was the great time But now I can't do that anymore. But that's okay. I feel good. I feel a bit raging about that. I'm like The guys on the internet tell you to exercise and tell you to do all the stuff. I'm like, they're right, I feel good. Like sit on the couch in the evening feel better justust get better. The ultimate you know, the ones who go Life is short, seize the day. say what you want to say today. you know, they also sort of rightite. justust stop telling me it, all right? I know I've got five thousand weeks to live. That seems like a long time to me. a thousand of those weeks. I'm just listening to you telling me, I've got five thousand weeks to live. I'm impressed by your three month health. I was wondering why you were no crack anymore. and now I understand I'm off the pooz man I'm after booze, ulra a drink, you've only got five thousand weeks left. Right So we do all this scrolling. Why are the Americans sting on TikTok? Be I haven' never looked at TikTok Occasionally I get a TikTok but on Twitter or Instagram. The only thing I know about TikTok is when it finishes, it goes bl and there's a name there. I quite like how they finish. It's all linked together. You can watch this, you'll see the same things if you open the other one, you'll eventually see the same exact thing, it knows what you want. I think I talked about this at the last podcast, but all I wanted on the live podcast, all I want to see is people falling. I missed when that was it And somebody would tell you, go to ebMs World and type in a man Lake rope swing and you would look at man Falling Nor Lake. I just think that was nice. That was a better time. And I think it was more joyous. Have you ever watched the woman? She's at some sort of like reality show and they've got watermelons in a catapult actually pulls back the watermelon and they've got a and the watermelon rebounds or something that just basically becomes her head I think she's okay, but it's like the most mesmerizing thing I think I've ever watched And it's in that bracket of people falling, but it's more watermelon hitting people in the face That was on a show called The Amazing Race, I believe. I never saw it at the show, but I do know the clip It's good because she's really trying hard to do the race of the watermelon. and when it clocks her in the face. It's terrible. it's terrible for her. Maybe Shaye knows where every classic clip comes from in the history of the internet then cow. But there's Lionel Blair falling off the stocks, of course. Yes. Is it Les Dennis? Les Dennis. Actually don't know that one. I must look that up Les Denis. Yeah. lookook it up. Shane, we are similar guys, but you're a thirty seven year old gay man What is the Algo serving you? I'm intrigued. I'm still mostly Ryanair fights. What do I see? I try and look at people falling. I try and look at people having embarrassing moments. I like that kind of thing I also like girls just having fun And that see we're so polluted by the internet that when I say that, that brings up the wrong type of images in people's head.. I like sometimes I just like the crack of young people just having the absolute crack and just like Last night or yesterday, yeah, last night, so it's yesterday. I saw some girls and she's ringing like the one hundred and eleven number, like the non emergency number, whatever that is. Yeah. And she was asking about wheelchairs and one of their friend has an ice pack and they just did this really fast there's like five girls all standing around in their like loungewar and hoodies. and they're all watching this happen and she's like Do you have wheelchairs and then They do this really fast cut to a girl doing an accidental like perfect splits on some ice. And I just like the idea of them all just having look remember the time that she fell? I just enjoyed all that. So I mean, it's back to falling. That is my favorite. That is my favorite. I like a submersion someone falling into water, especially. I especially enjoy that. Full water So sort of you've been you've got the you've been framed algorithm, which not everyone has some people it's gone more political than that, but you're still on you've been framed. I'll look at the news as well, but like I do enjoy that. Yeah. You lounge past gym time, you've already cancellled that When do you get out of bed I think it was around nine, so I was like, okay, time to start. Okay. I kind of have a day off. Gay. I have some work to do, but I kind of have a day off. and I'm just enjoying I never have the house to myself in the day like that or ever because Raymond has a normal job with normal hours. so it's kind of like he has a lot of time by himself. Sometimes I feel guilty about that in the evening or whatever, but I'm delighted to have these few days that I have the place to myself. I was telling my dad yesterday. that when we were kids, my mom would take us out of the house and we'd go visit somewhere. And my dad when he'd had the house to himself, he'd do a few dad jobs. Oh yeah. and he'd come back and there'd be something he' have fixed a tile tod be a new little bit of plaster somewhere. He'd have done something because there's no kids in the way. And I'm not saying Raymond is as bad as for boys but he does be under me feet. so I feel like I'm like, okay, I'm gonna do basically my task is to do a clean of the house, but stuff that I wouldn't normally do. So try and do some stuff that's I've been meaning to do that. Like I sound like my mom now, I've been meaning to clean that, but that's it. That is what I'm going for You going straight into the cleaning at nine o'clock. What's the top of the list? So if you're cleaning your house, the normal method is put on noashe If you have a dishwasher, put that on. If you don't have a dishwasher At least tidy up the stuff beside the sink. that helps. Yeah Yeah. If you stuff that needs to be charged, put them in, plug them in.. put a few things in the plugs and those are all jobs that are background jobs. So I as doing all them I have a question here. It was b into me from an early age. but I think this might be an old wiv's tale, but I definitely live by it. I never run the dishwasher and the washing machine at the same time. For fear that I might overwhelm the water intake of the house. pllates might end up in the washing machine. No the jumpers will end up in the dishwasher because their pipes are connected. No, it's that both appliances mightn't receive the full force of water available from the water system. Is that just me? A I the only person Would you run them both at the same time? I don't have a dishwasher and you're not really qualified to answer this question than I imagine. In my teenage years, my parents got one, so I knew about that, but I don't know. David, I don't know what I would do. but I think I consider I might be in your camp actually. I might go, well Hold on now. I'm pretty cavalier on this. Yeah. stickking both on, but the dishwasher currently has a leak. It sort of sometimes doesn't, sometimes doesn't, seeing how it's feeling. So there's a towel there Yeah just in case. So actually what you need to do is You dre the dishwasher, try to do that overnight, and then the wet towel will go in the washing machine and we'll stick that on in the morning. So normally they're not on at the same time, but I wouldn't mind What you need is you need Mr. Rushton to take the kids out so that you can do a job on that dishwasher. That's what has to happen there. Yes. But unfortunately, I actually invited mister Dishwasher over recently and he said, you need a new dishwasher. That was mister And mister Dishwasher has five stars. Well, he is not I'll show you, so it's on his last legs You know what I learned about men those men, Mrter dishwashers or Mr. wash machines? They tend to be brand orientated I rang one guy when the washing machine wasn't working And then he was like That is the newsie. you need to contact Eklin And at me a number for Decklin and Decklin was like, yeah, I know the model. I know the Zenussi and he knew how to fix it. He's the Zenuci guy. Oh see. Yeah, donon't bother because Aiman is whirlpool based. So don't bother What I liked about Mr. Dishwasher was And obviously it's a good idea, but he he basically wore cricket pads. like they were cut off a bit, but obviously because he spends a lot of time kneeling down on his knees. Yeah. They had like little tiny mini cricket pads just for his knees. And I thought this guy, I've got the best guy in the world. I've got mister Dishwasher. and so like I love that guy. He sounds so like you're like some rich English gu The poor bug had a a pad of cricket. Like you're so far removed from the working man. That's what it sounds like. A lot of cricket. He had knee pads on. Is that what he had on. knee pads. Yeah. I had a joke really full flat yesterday with the helelencopter because we had a little leak in the ceiling And so she has Brian Roofer on her phone So obviously I made the joke, the sort of nominative determinism joke like, you know, he was always destined to be a roofer with a name like that. Yeah That's good. She was so annoyed at me. She just said, no, that's I've just put him in my phone as you know what I mean Hen pleased. How many other kneePad based jobs are there Sorry, did I upset you with that? No m I just I know what you meant, but I just thought it sounded like as if you were saying that. I haven't spent a lot of time in the trades and on talkalksport, we're quite often advertising tool station or Wicks and people know I'm out of my comfort zone. Yeah. But I was thinking like obviously you would wear little knee pads, as you've correctly pointed out I was trying to sort of make it a bit more dramatic perhaps. was he wearing Cookabbora or Duncan Fernley cricket pads for this. But now you have made me obviously check my privilege, but wonder how many most trades are standing based, aren't they? I like the guys who do the flooring, they have knee pads and they have that tool for like They use their knee to shove the thing along or maybe they're slotting in laminate flooring or whatever and they ye they need it. they need the thing but they Yeah. So they have to have a knee pad on and I think the thing is designed so that it shouldn't destroy their poor legs, but I think maybe they probably do hurt their legs over time. Does it have little football boots on the top of So you've got the knee pad for the knee and then a little sort of like, yeah, Puma Kings. I like reallyuck by the number of tradespe in their fifties who have ruined their knees. I suspect by not wearing knee pads. So of course well, mrter Dishwasher's knees are in great kn. There is a serious side to this. I would say I'd go knee pads if I was gardener who was putting in maybe plants in the name of a town. You know what I mean? Like you welcome to Clo town or whatever. and I would also if I was See, there aren't many other Hwing blowies would be the only other one th. Is that a trade? Sex workers work. It's a trade. you're right. It's a trade. But it's not when we do an apprenticeship. know, I was sort of thinking that route, is it It's not I'm not going to unversity. I'm doing a BTch in Blowies because actually you know, you can get sponsored for that so you don't have the tuition fees Anyway, what are we cleaning? You've done all the basic stuff, right? So you've done all the things you've normally done and now we're going for the oven. What's happening? Yeah the wash was a tellel wash. I thought about the oven, but then I'm also like, well, it is my day of. We have these tall shelves. whoever designed this house is an idiot and we have these really tall shelves So the third layer of shelf is you know where you have stuff that you don't need to access easily it would be like board g large glass water bottles should you be entertaining, pererhaps. Yeah Yeah. They're actually water bottles we stole. You know when you're in Spain and you think the water bottle is lovely and we stole it. We soole two of them. love and we brought them home. I mean they're fine. They're ten penny over there. they're f those kind of guys are up there and the shelf itself is glass so that I can always see the dust on it. I can see the little autt know or whatever. So I was like, I'm doing that. I'm going to rearrange that. I rearranged it and I'm also going to clean the thing. so There was a good bit of cleaning that because there was the dusting of the original dust. Then there is whatever little stains have arisen from the water drips or whatever that is, they had to be got I have a degreaser I'm a fan of at the moment. Oh yeah. So I got that involved. Now that didn't work with just a bit of kitchen roll, so I had to do Scrub Daddy. W to get scrub Daddy involved. Is he like mister Dishw Is someone that comes over? Scrub Daddy is a line of cleaning products. Now they are plastic and that's bad for us all, but sometimes we need I don't know what to do about that. L that's my problem. I'm not here to solve that But it was a guy who went on Dragon's Den. I think the Dragon said no, or Shark tanker or one of the American one. I think they said no and no And now everyone around the world loves Srub Daddy and the Ancillary sccrub family. It's a Gen Z Sillet bang. Like is it that kind of vibe? It's a little Yes.es I think Gen Z would know Srub Daddy in the way that we knew Sillip Bang and Barry Scott Yes. And is it multipurpose? Can sccrub Daddy do any surface? Yes, he's hard when he's cold and soft when he's hot. W He's a scouring pad. he's not a Sillip bang. Oh I get that from him. Yeah, obviously I' see what you mean? From the name. He's attritional enough that he can get the stains free, but he's not gonna cause a mark Yeah, like I wouldn't use him on the on the stainless steel pan now. I wouldn't be rushing to do that, but he's a loyal companion This is such a great infomercial. I mean I really feel like I'm in the infomercial. If you had paint on your arm, would you consider getting scrub daddy involved? If I had paint on my arm, I would do A scabby old towel that you might have lying around. Dried paint, dried paint Yeah, I'd wedet it and scrub it with a towel. I would You wouldn't go scrub daddy then. Okay I don't know that might keep my c you If you really did you I don't know. See, mister Dishwasher never threatens to cut Yeah. He sounds like an East E gangster. You bested me son, I will cut you I didn't know I was gonna become the spokesperson forub Daddy Incorporated. But here we are. Okay, other things that have cut through from those type of TV shows. The main one I'm thinking of is the suitcases that children sit on and you pull them through airports. That came from one of those shows. That and Ree Reae sauce. Regae Regae sauce. Yeah. They're a success kids like them. They're good. Yeah. They like their suitcases. I mean they may like regge Rege sauce, too Yeah not interchangeable. and it's a really bad way Backing to emigrate to Australia. I just used empty bottles of rego Ric sauce, just filled them all and actually was an absolute disaster. What else are we cleaning I run out of steam a little bit. I'm going to be honest with you, right? I start to panic about this and like I still have the guilt about the thing. That shelf is gorgeous though. And it turned out it was just about rearranging stuff Th in the middle shelf I did things like I have all these cups and like we don't use them all. They're lovely cups, but I was like, I'll just put two of them, took two of them off, I just reduced everything that was there. We downsized the shelves and everything looks much neater. so that was good. Lovely. Then I kind of wanted to watch something Well I didn't want to listen, I've not listened to any like newsy podcasts or stuff that you can learn from. So I was like, I'll watch something There's all the films we have access to and all the stuff we have The documentaries have really suffered because it's just like, you go to watch a documentary, I was like, I'll watch something interesting about part of life I didn't know about and it would make you know what documentaries used to feel like and now it's just like Look at this murdered woman who was murdered by her baby and look at the police miss this key and it's just rubbish. Even channel four Yeah. E channel four Have gone down that road. Yeah. I spent so long trying to find something to just have on in the background And I gave up. I started briefly watching There was a film on Netflix suggested about the Camino And I was like, oh, I could watch that, but then it was in Italian whichich I don't speak. so I was like, I don't want to and I'm not watching a dubbed version because like I'm sure I could turn on English dubs, but I was like, I just can't, I just can't do that. It's okay if you do yourself, but I just don't like it It's an interesting point you make there, Shane because I enjoy a history documentary, yet I am struck by how many of the history documentaries of the last ten years, if you watch something like the Inas It'll be constant drumming D d d and it's the altered I'm here. can you imagine the blood dripping down this monument, etcet? Whereas what I actually want is a much drier, more fact based one than this kind of first person overly dramatic. I want just lists of numbers really falling through the matrix. Remember we used to get to watch Documentaries that were recorded off the TV when we were in school, there'd be a cette a videotape of whatever documentary was on those were very much just a talking head and then they would say they would show just some pictures and that was it really enough. I cant been craving a bit of that. During the Sucram glory years A TV production company discovered that I had a history degree got excited and invited me to a meeting and they sat me at a table and said We want to make history sexy. this is a I know. No better man. Hey Yeah. And then they said, do you want to go and wade around in mud Like with a metal detector for hours and hours and hours and end. Yes. I didn't Really? That is such a weird thing to turn down. Like there was a mood board with like Eddie Iard and then some actual historians and I was like, I'm never gonna get me there. I probably said sure and then I didn't. Yeah, I definitely didn't want to do it. Max. Do you think things could be different? I'd be down the snow now. Yeah. You would have had six books on like the Da Vinci code. You know what I mean? You'd have been the Brian cart C I'd have been Brian Cox of history, of history. globally celebrated Brian Cox I think kind have been found out so quickly. They sort of said, what period of history are you into? And I was like, oh, I can't really remember. you know it's just something to study. I just don't really recall. I just remember the opening sentence was very funny and I just couldn't really take it seriously after that because it's sort of, what does that mean? But that is, imagine the blood dripping down the face Thomas a Becket. That is a pretty damning answer when you said I can't remember because essentially isn't that what history is remembring? Well, although I am now hosting this historical It is modern history, but this historical podcast. Oh yesterday. Event happened. Yeah. Okay so you'd wait for A to try to find documentary and you don't find anything. Honestly about half an hour I spent flicking through the various things. There's so many things. it's so hard, aren't it? We just got the HBL Max and I think I'm gonna just keep that and I'm getting rid of everything else. I'm just like, this is gotten ridiculous now Netflix is real shight. Then I found I decided I'll watch a film in the background so it has to be a bit crap and there's a film called Apex That is definitely a bit crap and it has Tarn Egerton and Charlie's Terrren in it. Yeah. It indeed was crap, but a bit of fun and definitely a background film. What's the nature of this apex that they're talking about? Charlie's Terran is a tough Arenaline junkie, but she's a woman That's the kind of part of it. wrritten by a man, I checked, yes. And she can climb rocks, she can canoe, she can do whatever She goes to the outpack in Australia on Some kind of Australia I't know existed. So very cool, very beautiful river part of Australia that I wasn't aware of before. But anyway, she goes there and Taron Egerton is a local who's nice, but then he's mad. Oh no. And I like Taron Egerton. I've talked about this in my own podcast before as well I fancy Tarrn Egerton and I feel like I have to really I'm okay with being gay. I've mention it several times already, and I'm okay, but sometimes I'm just like, I'm embarrassed about it. I'm like, I have a crush onm that actor. I feel like a teenage girl. I'm like, but I fancy him that he's perfect. I'm like, I fancy him and I want to hang out with him. And if I met him, I would blush. So that would helped It's like me with Fiona Bruce I feel it. Yeahah, and they're not disimilar actually. We have a similar time. I like Fiona in her Earlier art history documentary era as opposed to post in question time. And propping up right wing ideals on the BBC? Yes, the previous Fiona, newews reader Fiona, maybe. What about Antiquics Road show, Fiona? Yeah, I quite like Antiqu Road. She brings a little bit of fun to quite a serious format I like that era of Fiona, but I think she's married to Laord somebody, you know, it's not gonna happen. She met him at the class gym. hadad this with Steffie Graff. I remember because I always thought I would end up with Steffie Graff. Helen Copter knows this and then Andrey Agassy's book ust it's such a love affair with Steffie Graff that I had to just be fair enough. you know I'm not going to tread on his toes. Is that what you thought? Just out of respect, it would be hard to imagine how I could woo Stehie from under Andre's nose as well he would be better. than me at everything. The b's not as good as the piano He started advertising little pans just in the last few weeks. I'm trying I can see. Yeah. And he's holding the pan like a tennis racket. P he is. I feel he didn't need to do that. I feel that mean he can't advertise like a casseroolle dish becauseuse you can't really hold that He can only do frying canans. Is that is s his limit? That's a good question. Does you need that like Is it little he's doing? Yeah, I think it's little pans that he's doing. You have a gambling problem? Yeah, I wonder if everything's okay. Oh no, maybe Steffy has left him at he's He needs the dough for that. That's interesting, isn't it that you'd think Right, we want someone who can advertise things that are shaped like a tennis racket. or doesZregas's agent put him up for things that are shaped like tennis rackets? because he's like he's only really comfortable if he's holding a thing that vaguely resembles a he could do a spade, a bush. He's like know the thing for barbecuing fish. Oh ye it sort of opens up and you put the fish in it and close it again. He could do bellows. he could do bellow.'s not llows Bellllowoss market is only going to grow over the coming years. They are predicting a huge growth in the Bells market. He prefers a frying pan because it really is like tenennis fret. but I'll show him some Bellows. See what he says I'll come back to you. The Bello's market is interesting. If you think of the graph, I'd say Epigraph. Yeah Epigraph of Bellllows ough the bellows sales would have held pretty constant, I would say because of blacksmithery. until When did horses start to go out? I guess post first World War And then it dropped really dropped off. but now it's come back again. That's it People are going to the wood fired saunas. Maybe they get them going with the bellows. Yeah, Wood fired saunas. mayaybe I haven't seen bellows in those. The pizza places, that's happening. Yeah. Well no, he could advertise that. He could advertise the pushy pushy. Yes, he could Have you just been sitting there trying to think of other tennisnack and shakees? I'm stuck now. Okay, so do we ever fully commit to watching this film or are we doing other things in the background while Taron is wooing and then just chasing Charlie? That's exactly the plan of the film, by the way They whooz a little bit and chase her I decide I should eat because I haven't eaten and it's become more like it's like after noon now it's noon Oh dear. And I haven't eaten becausecause it's kind of my day off, I said I'll get I order a burrito to the house. Oh yeah. that's exciting. It sounds like I've invited a human burrito to visit Yes. I've ordered one in fact And I got a rock shandy with it as well because I fell victim because to the app because the app was like, do you want to buy this as? I was like, YouT do say no. And then I was like, yeah, fancy see it. A rock shandy is just orange and lemon. in equal parts. Oh, okay. that's refreshing. Okay. When I used to work in a pub years ago they'd order a rock shandy and the first time I was like, we don't have that And then the old barman was like, a rock shandy is just one cup lemon and one cup orange. And he was serious. So that's what that is. You'd have that on a Sunday Okay, are you watching the little person on a bike with your burrito paddling all the way S your house No, I have faith and I trust that they know their way. It's a pretty direct route. It's like one bridge of the canal, basically. so it's from one bridge to the next. So it's usually there's no hassle for them. When you got the flat, did you say I'd need to have a direct re to a burito, it's. Yeah. so for a lot of people, they'll look at like when they're looking at property They'll look at like schools, that kind of thing, transport South garden. Yeah. but we were very keen. We said to the letedting agent that was like, and how many burritos in this area? And is it normal chicken or is it all Chipotle? And they were like, I have the barbaccoa beef? I said, I'm not interested in beef. I said, We talk about Chipotle chicken. So Andrey Agassy couldn't advertise a burrito But he could advertise a jambon leg, you know, the full sort of pig leg. Yeah. A Serrano Ham on. Yeah, yeah, he could definitely advertise that. Yeah, like a double handed backhand have Yeah. Is this a very regular order for you? so you know exactly what's coming. Yeah, I know what I'm getting, I know what I'm getting. And I have I have a sauce in the fridge called Balentina. And you have that in some of the Burito shops. So once again it sounds like a lady you've got a humor burito. It's the awusting fridge. Bal think comes out of the fridge. So yeah, I have that ready to go. and I should have eaten already. I should have had breakfast. I know that I find breakfast difficult. lotots of people do. It's really annoying. I find it difficult to eat in the morning. so I was like, this would have made the whole day better and I might have actually achieved more in my cleaning if I Like I could have done the skirting boards had I had reckon done Yeah. But then this is the give and take and push and pull of life that we must accept. Shane, if you're having this late breakfast brunch type burrito at twelve You're going to get hungry at five. Is that a worry of yours? A you not thinking maybe I should push it out to one It kind of is one because I got up a five, so I don't know o. I'm a bad eater. Sometimes Raymond will askks me that, he'll go, didid you have something to eat and I go, yeah yeah, yeah And I'm lying like a teen. I can do a whole day without eating and then I need to have this food because there is the one work Task That is a compulsory one. There's a meeting coming on. Oh yeah. I too. in person or Zoom Zoom style meeting, yes. and I'm getting ready for that The time changes for that. so that throws me a little bit because I was al ready and I had my ground ready to go. Yeah. I had charged my earphones all the rest and then that changed does itite whatever fine And I was kind of annoyed with that because I didn't really have anything to fill that time. So that was annoying. And I paused the washing machine. I put on a towel wash like and it's still in there Is this a specific setting on the washing machine or do you go? It's just that I was washing towels, but I put them on sixty. I think ninety is you can put things on ninety if maybe somebody has a stomach bug or something like that. You can things on ninety and you should. But I think generally sixty is good for killing all the stuff and also relax like we're fine. But I think they do need to wash That's higher than. I usedually do everything on thirty, but I did them on sixty. They're out there. now I'm keeping an eye actually at the moment because it's a bit cloudy there at the minute. so if I leave, I'm keep an eye them they're outside they're in there forever. I don't know. The washing machine doesn't have a timer on it, so I'm like, when will you just don't know when it's going to be finished. Oh really? I could run a trial by running every cycle and timing it. I could do that. but I'm not going to. That's the only way I know how to do it. But anyway, I put them on, they're in there, they're on cotton and they're still they're in there forever Is the washing machine so loud that you couldn't have a zoom meeting with the washing machine on? Yeah, it would just be kind of annoying. Yeah. I noticed it in particular, Max when I was in Australia doing these podcasts, I would turn the air conditioning off for the duration of the podcast. justust because I didn't want to disrespect our guests by having potentially low humming sounds in the background I had to have air conditioning put into the shed because on one night on Talkspoort, it got to forty degrees in the shed and it's metal. And I felt like I was in Apollo thirteen reentering the atmosphere, the whole thing. and eventually everything just boiled over and I went off air. That's a slow cooker. Yeah. You were in a slow cooker. was basically in slow I was just a lam shank. He fell off the bone when he came out. Oh it just came right off the bone. It was delicious. So Shan How long has this meeting been delayed for? Beause presumably the meeting is still going to happen? Yeah, only twenty minutes, but it was just that I was ready, I don't know. anyway, that just I had nothing to do with those twenty minutes. I was kind of like, well I don't know The meeting is good And this is with my comedian colleague, Tony Campwell and also with Nve Kavana, who is what a Eurovision winner. Yeah. Wh me? No, that's Linda Martin. Oh yeah.. She did in your eyes. In your eyes, I see the light driving me home again. She records a podcast where I record a podcast so I see her sometimes It is also a hilarious moment in your life. you're like, this is gas. because you she won in nineteen ninety three. So I don't really remember her winning, but I know of her since and you know, I've watched her since and I'm like, this is hilarious I'm having a Zoom with new cabinet. And we're planning We do like a Kind of a comedy Eurvision spino called the Bureau de Change song contest. It's huge max. It's in the Olympia Theatre this year. Oh great. In the Olympia Theater and we are doing so a couple of years ago, I didn't do comedians basically do a song. you write a song, you get someone to make your song and then we perform it and as a country and we vote. A, this is such a brilliant idea Yeah, it's Tony Campwell's idea. He's the best man for ideas. If you want an idea about anything, get on to Tony because he is just so good. He knows what you should do. He's a great ideas man. Scrub Daddy, you basically our scrub daddy. He told the guy sccrub daddy guy told him. A few years ago, I did a joke where instead of doing a song, I did the halftime whatever it's called the interval act And I said, they introduced me as Neve Kavangh. And then I said I was Nve Kavanagh's sister Tracy And then Tracy didn't sing, but she did do a Johnny Logan tribune act who's another Irish Eurovision legend. So then I as Nave Kavan' fake sister, Tacy, doing and Johnnyogan. So this year we're going to do that they introduce Tracy Kavangh, the fake singer out again And I'm not going to be good at singing and then from the wingsater Nve Kavanut will sing her Eurovision winner from thirty three years ago and she will come and take the stage and everyone's gonna to lose their fucking shit. Yeah, it will bring the house down. What a brilliant idea. So good. We were trying to think of the cute. we were like Well, maybe we could do could I say Ladies gm a N new cabinet, can I say in the middle And she's like, No, I'll just sing from the off stage. I'll sing from the wings and And we're like, yeet dead, right, dead, right,ust. she'll never appear. Oh no. she will come out on stage. She will sing from the wings at first. She'll take over the vocal from me and I'll be like, what? And then she'll come out. And then rather than we want to keep them guessing. So what we're going to do is that At the end, it looks like me and her are like great sisters, but then she will slap me across the face and say, that's how it's done bitch. And then when the hosts of the Bader Challenge come out, the audience will then think they'll have a chat with Neve Kava because we have Nve Kava here and she will slap them as well. So that's. Do you do it like Youvision you have that many count someone always Albania and someone is There's about ten people doing it this year. We do all of it. So we do all of it. so we do the little VT beforehand. We do that and Tony's a great voice overver artist as well. so he narrates it in a very terry woogen vibe. He's like, ourur next act is representing Switzerland and he does the whole thing. Do you like cross And now let's cross to the Azerbaijani jury and there's just someone in a little box. You can get them all on Zoom on a big screen going. And our friends and neighbourors, Cyprus, ten points. No The audience vote in some kind of QR code system that I don't know about, but that would be fun. I mean the vote is the best part in some ways of the Ovision, but then the night would go on for like five hours and we just can't do that to people People have to go for a P. so you just can't ye That's a brilliant idea Okay, so that meeting finishes. We're happy with this and you've been on a Zoom. It's a bit like, you know, Natalie in Bruius. she got mentioned on this pod and then sending me a message and then me trying to get her to do this podcast. is's the same thing you're just like. Oh my fion. Except she's actually doing this. No, I know, I understand that. They've gone a step beyond where we've got so far with Natalie and Brudia, but it could still happen. What's happening next? We close the laptop Yeah, and to be honest, I've kind of messed up the house more than cleaned it. I'm looking around now Sometimes that happens. I was like, because I've taken clothes off the clothes and I was like, what the heck? there's not enough. We live in a very small house And I find the clubs very stressful sometimes because I'm like, there's literally not enough room to put all these things So many gorgeous pieces, you know that I simply cannot part with. So'm like I'm trying to figure this out So I was kind of looking around and I was like, well, this house was actually messier than where it started So I kind of just am'm forgiving myself on this and I kind of just watch the end of my film She wins That's not a spoiler. You know from the beginning, of course, you'll win. Shane, I've had an interesting perspective on this in recent times because eightighty percent of my possessions have gone into storage at the moment, including many of my greatest pieces. And I've just kept like six t shirts, six uundies, six socks, some shirts, some trousers, etcetera And I haven't missed any of the pieces. Do you know what I mean Do I have to get a storage unit because my rent is already expensive? Just a bonfire. No liivving in a tiny house is good for getting rid of stuff and not being sentimental. You have to get rid of stuff before it becomes important. Yeah.id it get rid of it throw it out So I'm pretty good at not keeping stuff And then I do, I have become like someone's mother and Raymond is my child because sometimes I'll throw away things on him that he doesn't know about. L sometimes I just do that and that's gone That's gone Ch charity shop. D's gone, Ch charity shop. He doesn't know. And he's fine. rightight. So I'm controlling's what I'm trying to say. I'm controlling. Like you're just covered in like there's Detritus everywhere, the whole place. youve t the whole place upside down, there's clothes everywhere. Yeah, so I do bit of laptopy stuff then because I was sitting at the laptop, I would do a little bit. So I do some boring accounting money things. and that kind of thing. I bought some travel for coming. thingsings, travel I need, trips to Belfast, trips to Castlebar And I like doing those because I have a good spreadsheet for expenses that I like putting them in and just drop downs in the spreadsheet. and I like that And did you build it But you know, I went opened a Google sheet and they were like, looks like you're making the table. Do you want one of these cute formats? And I was like, Yeah, go ahead. It knew what I was doing. So I was like, yeah, cute table. let's do it. W. Is that me succumbing to the AI? I don't know, I don't know. Yeah, it's like, Shane, we have some ideas for jokes when you are on Castle Bar. No, I won't have it for jokes. I will not I don't use the AI for anything at all, but I think that I assume that is some kind of AI that it knew I was making a spreadsheet for expenses and gave me a format for that. so yeah. Maybe She don't pick Raymond up from the airport and you and I will go and have a hot weekend in Waterford. Somet like that. Watford is one of my current f in the county actually, David. I was there earlier in the year. It's fabulous down there It's undersold, I will say. Do you think David you'd be the good voice for AI? I love that you put on a. You're slightly ashamed, so you're not going just do your voice They'd sound a bit like a computer from the AS Yeah. That's what AI wants, doesn't it I don't think so. My I think my voice is too chaotic. It's too up and downy Like so my brother is an actor and does voiceovers sometimes. but they never get him to be like Come down tonight to Soopfa sofa sofas. We've gone sofa crazy. We're throwing sofas out the windows. They get him to do like Reminding you that december thirty first is the tax deadline for twenty twenty five. You know, they're the sort of ones that he does And so maybe he could do the AI voice Oh sorry, thought it was raining, I thought it was raining I my edge now I have dad jobs to do. I'm back to dad mode then. Okay, right. We're fixing stuff. I'm kind of waiting for the wash to finish for so long. That annoys me then. I want that out and I want another one in before I leave this house and go do dad jobs. So that eventually happens and I'm free And I go too, I take the cans and bottles that go. We now in Ireland have that machine that you like like Sweden or whatever and we get the money back on the receipts. So I Now you could get the receipt that is entitles you to a voucher in that shop. Money technically it's money. And I wanted to go the other day, but Raymond said, Don't bother because we' walking and he's like it'll only be anoying carrying those cans and bottles. So I'm actually driving now. so I'm driving to the shop. I go to suupervalue. That's one of my jobs. The first thing I do is that there's two machines side by side There is a woman mid fifties beside me at her machine I make shit of her. She looks pathetic compared to how good I am at doing it. A lot of people don't know that the machine has a little hook on it that you can put one strap of the bag. I'm hooked on and I'm just going, My other hand is free just in a constant thing and she looks so ridiculous beside me. I'm like, you're pathetic, madam So that was a big win for me. To the listeners who may not be familiar with this, this is one of the most cyber experiences you can have. So it's a tunnel that you place the cans into and pounds Blue light comes on that's reading barcodes on the cans. And it's either accepted and a conveyor belt sucks the can into the machine or rejected and the can is sort of shot back in your direction then. So it's really modern things. Interesting. So do you get one hundred percent acceptance rate of your cans? On this one, yes, I have a lot of issues with this. Sometimes they don't work and I don't care. It's fifteen ccent But they should just take it anyway. Like what are we doing here You should take all the cans Like you just take it or they should at least have a little slot that just goes, yeah, take it. Some of them have that, those's different machines a different place. I thought from the beginning of this project that the man who's in charge of this is a cowboy. I did think that. He got the contract as the guy who's gonna provide these machines and I was like, he's a cowboy. I did feel that. and I don't know if you're gonna cut that out. I don't care. I don't care There's a lot of problems with it. I don't want to get into it, but look, sometimes it's just slow, sometimes they they're often broken and it's just a nuisance and I don't I saw the other day that we're only at sixty six percent of cans and bottles to be recycled and our neighbourors in the UK. are apparently m doing seventy percent. so this is made I better When you defeat the woman, do you sort of say that's how you do it? or is it unsaid? She knows. I don't look directly at her, but she knows. she's like, Ohh, this guy what a card. She knows, like she knows. It cutes to a VT of her saying, I just came up against a better opponent. There was nothing I could do. She's out. She was like, at the end of the day, you know what I mean? Ive got a do, I got a doe He was a a recycler really at the end of the day. So got a lot of talking to do. We got a lot of strateging. Yeah. So she was going to go off and do that. I was just teaching her because in that instance it was okay because there was no cue But sometimes there is a quue and I'm just like, this is how it's supposed to be done. Just watch So the bag goes back in the car and go to the hardware shop, which is called Trace. Shane, how much money did we make Oh, it was a good one. I think I have it actually. Yes. Max guess how much Sh. Oh that's fun, isn't it? Cs go. It's fifteen cents a can, is it fifteenent cents again can, and then if there's a big two liter bottle I think that's twenty five cents. Okay, I'm gonna say Three eos sixty I'm going to say four seventy Eight, eighty. Wh I going to Tracy's. So I want plant pot things. This is very difficult for a gay man I have a monstera plant and it is sick and I I'm devastated because that's part of being gayays. You must have a monstera plant. What's a monstera? It's kind of like a Swiss cheese leaf, if that makes sense. Do you know what I mean? Yeah It grows in Spain and canaries and all no bother, but we have to have it indoors, but it's I'm worried about that and I'm going to rep put that at some point. Maybe that's a job for the weekend So I get a few pots and then I get the little plates for underneath the pots catch the water thing. That's what I get there. I throw in a new hose head Well I'm there. Oh Okaykay, like a gun Yeah, my other one's just a bit weird So and keep spraying after you let go of the trigger. So would I suggest it's broken B to the algorithm, isn't it? Is Is everything okay down there? Yeah. You're doing allright. You know someone's doing all right when they get a new hose spray gone. You know what I mean? I reckon it's say twenty four ninety nine c. No. was it? No, It was like seven euros something like that. That was seven euros. Okay. so yeah. My total of purchases, this is the type of shop it is. The total of the purchases was twenty one euro And he went right that d twenty one, We call it twenty. Good Wow. Yeah, Isn't that good that that's still alive? What a place. So shout out to Tacys of Sun Drive there. That was great I put them in the car and then I'm going across the road. There is I want to buy some plants. I don't really have a garden. I have like a patio and I've done some plants already for the summer and I've done some bulbs and things. so I'm kind of keeping an eye on the bulbs. We have some growth started, that's good. but I want I just want a bit more color out there. So I go where I buy the plants is kind of a Euros shop. Do you have pound shops? like they have a pound shop, but it's. And it's called Euro Lee. So I think it's like the woman's name. She's a Chinese woman and she runs this shop and the plants, she likes cash for the plants So I have cash for her becausecause she told me that the flower lady, she has to give the flower lady cash. so I'm helping out. So I get a few different bits from her twenty euro worth of plants from her. Yeah. But some of them are a bit similar. I like her and she kind of knows me now. I don't know. I've only been there like three times, but I feel like she knows me Hate me again. They're very nice and then I didn't have enough. so I went to another there's another little shop and I got a few little bits, but I'm not convinced on them. I don't know how they'll do. Do you have light in the patio to full light? Yeah, it'll get a little loop of light a wraparound of light in a cone formation. Does that make any sense? Yep, I can't work it out, but that's fine. Okay, so do we get the car with all the plants and we thrust them into the cone intont the cone, the car They've come out of the car and now they're in the cone of sunlight I put them in, I do a bin of water and I put them in so that they feed from the water from the bottom Yeah because they've probably been fed from the top the whole time. So I feed them from the bottom Obviously that is delicious. like that is a really enjoyable task. My goodness, I love it. Yeah The basin I put them in has holes. This is so granular now. So I put the hose in running on a small amount so that it'll stay reeplacing the leaf. Yes. ye Beautiful. I found a podcast. I listened a podcast weirdly about someone fall in love with AIye from the Guardian And the first episode of that was a woman fall in love with AI and she still feels as connected. She says she still feels the oxytocin and she knows it's not real, but she still feels all those lovely warm chemical feelings from her relationship with AI man. You see, for me, some aspect of love is the unexpected that the person is sending curveballs in your direction and you almost realize that you're the crow to their vowel when their curveal meets your curveal. Whereas I doubt You know, AI is being like, I've bought us tickets to a medieval reenactment festival or whatever. a bad example, but you know what I mean? She has I can't remember maybe autoimmune disease of some kind and she's still living quite an isolated life since the COVID. So she's like, this feels better than that So I don't know. It's an interesting dilemma. I enjoyed tossing it around my head while I was because I am also like, yeah, but you're not going to have a fight with the AI are you? When you have a fight with someone or your partner, it's so fun because then when you fix the fight, you're so much closer And it's nice. so I don't know. YeahI it's not going to go. The kids wake up at four and you do the next half hour. That's why I'm thinking you like so specific In the podcast, is she saying The weird thing about him was he sounded like a computerized David O'dothy from the eighties. Hello. This is definitely love that I'm feeling. My circuits are all warm. Yeah, I don't know, do they progress? I know that's the whole point of they learn. But like the other day was so horrible to Raymond near the fridge and I need to get in the fridge And rather than say, sorry or excuse me, babe or doting. Jesus Christ move I said. But then because we're close enough that Raymond didn't even go what the why you talk donon't talk to him like that he just went Jesus Christ move. That's what he repeated back to me. And I was like, yeah, fair enough. like yeah, that was a horrible. I was pretty horrible there. But you can't do that with an AI. Yeah. Maybe they would eventually. They would just be like, Ah, you always do that, Shivon.'re like Yeah, easy robot man. It could happen. The AI won't run after Dubrovnik in a big hulf Just because you told to get his fat arse away from the fridge. No one gets a lift to the airport while in a hoof. I'm going after to you robing in a hoof. Can I have a lift please? Drop me off. flight seven hundred thirty. so get me there for six six be fine. Terminal two What time is it now in the day, Jane I think it's probably around five or six or something now I'm gonna head out to get something I'm not getting a takeaw, but I don't want to cook because it's just yourself there. So I go to How do this? You've already had a delivery for lunch. You have to have one cooked meal a day. Itould be a Charlie big of ready meal It is. I'm getting a thing that you can what we call bung in the oven. That's what Randond and I call them. Yeah. So that it's real food. It's not like it was just made by somebody in the supermarket that afternoon. That's what I'm getting. David, David's like this. I get meals in a box because I'm time pour that has like one clove of garlic and like eight run of beans. and actually it has enhanced the breadth of food that we eat David calls it wankers in a bag dot or something. And it's not that. It's called quite like and it's reasonably priced and we had a really good artichoke and chicken salad yesterday. What did you get Churn Just want to let it be know, I want to on record that I don't like your disdain for my approach to my evening alone I got a lasaga from Dun stores. Oh yeah. And I got bit of milk, those kind of things. Yeah ye. And then I got home, put that in and then I said, well, I felt like I was being Good. by getting that food because it's real food and not takeaway food. And then I thought I'd balance that out because I am a bachelor now. so I was like, I'll balance that out and I wanted to get garlic bread and I like the cheap garlic bread. I't like I want a bread roll cut up with garlic butter in it. I don't want the other stuff. That'd be impossible to make, wouldn't it? The that all the ingredients are in the name of the thing. Jeeesus, I don't need this. I don't need this kind of snabber. Lasagna was called Lir of mince with some cheese, some pasta I know how to make Lasagna. No one makes Lasagna for one. It's true. What am I gonna do? A meal prep lasagna, Don't be ridiculous. I actually make a very delicious lasagna. And the secret ingredient, David, is love. okay? So there you go. I can do family meals. That's what I'm good at cooking is family size meals because I'm from a big family and I also was in the scouts and those two things are cooking for a lot of people at once. That's what I can do. It's not my skill set. It's not my area of exceptional talent that takes me all the way to the forest shores of Australia. J your credible comedy work. Where did you buy a garlic bread from? Oh my. I got it from theelope the cororner shop, who I love. It's called dayaybreak, but I still call it AMPM because that's what it used to be called years ago It took me ages to get there because the Lasanna it's going take like twenty five minutes in the oven, but I couldn't find my keys for about twenty minutes after that. Yeah. but you can always leave a Lasanu in for you can always double the time and it gets better not with a fake less ona from the supermarket like you know ye, your own one yet, maybe. But anyway. And I was like, this is ruining it now. And I was scurrying around the house for like honestly, I was like, what do I do now? because I can't leave because Raymond had taken his keys so I was like, why I'm trapped. So the lasagna' on and you're gonna run to AM PM and get back. That was exactly the idea. I'll get back and by the time I get back, I'll put that in with it. They'll both be ready at the same time. T minutes. I will sit down. Yeah I plan to watch We want to watch films that people watched years ago. I was like, oh yeah that was a good film. So it's going to watch Mystic River because I'd never seen that. Oh ye. And I had that on. that was on pause on the TV, ready to go But sure I didn't get a second. I didn't get a minute between this that and the other the key, Scot Sas, there was a lot of roadwors out there. It was chaos And then I ate that. And I was texting whereere you left the keys Becauseuse you'd come home from Duns. And were they in the pocket of the other jacket? They were just on the couch, like just there And I don't know. I think maybe there was a little those little borrowers or something. Somebody was around someone did something because probably there. I definitely checked there That's a fun game I play in my relationship where every day I will just keep things alive by having us both go on a hunt for my wallet or my keys or my phone. And Raymond just laps it up. He loves it. It's such a fun game for us. Interestingly, Andre Agassy could advertise a Yale key. couldn Yes. Yes, he could. In fact, he should. But hang out, he could only advertise it if it was a key for like a medieval castle L' like right. It needs to be a big key. Well, I I don't know, maybe His agent will be able to, look, it's small, but it is like a tennis racket. I'll talk to Andre We'll see. Maybe he'll go for it I't know. Okay so we get the garlic bread, that's there. Are happy with the dinner? Yeah, it was very nice. It was very nice. A lot of food snobs probably have lots to say apparently, but fuck you It was a very pleasant meal. I did eat it full bachelor style from the little tin. I did not bre it up. I ate it from the tin. that is now rinsed and in the recycling. So well done I've saved the world a bit. Mr. Giver is quite violent. Does it have Al Paccino or Robert De Niro in it? And is there a lot of blue light in it? I didn't even get to press play on this motherfucking film. because in amongst the texting, my mother texted me, I've become embroiled. My father's birthday is happening And I have become the person who is to make likeike a little animated invitation for this birthday that will be sent out via WhatsApp channels. And my clients, my mom and dad, as a graphic designer, which I apparently am now, using my skills from the website Canva. You're not doing stop motion like more. No just it's like a picture of him young in the middle And then a picture of him old and it's like, come to the birthday. Is he morphing? Have you got a picture of him over every year of his life? So it's like the Michael Jackson black or white video where he gets old Yeah I should have done it like, you know where it's like it's a chimpanzee and then it's a taller chimpanzee and then it's in the end. I should have done one of them I couldn't get enough pictures of him in profile. So unfortunately that was the way. No, it's just one of each and the picture of him old or our picture of him when he's young has like a little Ive put a party hat on it. Yeah. He's holding in the picture of him at his current age. He's holding a plastic bag. There's a little Easter eggon that I put in there where it says happappy birthday I've added the text hady burght it to the plastic bag, but anyway that's. But my clients they had a few suggestions. they changed the photo altogether, then I had to send it So this went back and forth for a while. uestion. Then it involved a phone call. Yes. Where's the movement in that? Is the plastic bag jiggling? or there sparkles coming off? Surely there's not like tears coming out of his eyes because that would be sad So what's happened here is I've said animated and that was the wrong word. It is a static image. Okay, yeah. You know, I did think when I said it, I was like, that's the wrong word, but I thought I'd get away with it a p. Your rigor in this podcast is nothing escapes. Yeah. So that took quite a while back and forth. I had a brother onn the side as well. I don't want to him talked back and forth about it and about them So there was a bit of back and forth on that. So that did take quite some time. And then yeah, we had I had to speak to my father on the phone and then that turned into What else are you busy? that kind of thing? Right. And does your dad have copy approval of the? Surely not. You can't give the celebrant copy approval He does because he wanted it to say RSVP to his phone number And then I was like, well, the thing is, if Mum is going to send this to her people They will write back to her They're not going to go and go, o, I better go. And I was like Just say OCP to this message in the picture. We came back around to that. Okay I didn't get back around to that, but that's, you know, my graphic design colleagues out there. That's what it's like sometimes That's what it is. Did you add at the bottom Dress code, Vicars and tarts. J supposed to liven it up unexpectedly Yeah, we're gonna prank a few people like Bridget Ton We're going to send just one or two people to be Vickers and Tes I did put on like it's in their house, like little joke I put in ourur surname is Bernt. So the venue is Berurn Manor and Gardens, as if it's like a grand house. but it's just their house. Yeah. littleittle things like that. Love it. But it's not sent out. This is just, you know, we're at the stage of just getting the invite Your mum hasn't sent it out yet No, she hasn't sent it out. But I was glad to speak to him because sometimes, you know, I feel so bad sometimes When you have to you have to contact your parents, obviously, and then so often everyone just defaults to contacting their mother. So it was good. I felt like sometimes I'll not that I make up jobs to ring my dad about, but like I'm glad when I have to ask my dad something specific because he gets a look in. because when I rang him about this thing about the invitation, he then asks his other questions about whatever else and gives me his other updates So I was like, I was lad of it then because He got a little shot. he got a little go of that. So that is good. and I don't know I think that's something we should all be careful of. My parents, if I ring them, they will put it on speaker And then they can't hear me and I can't hear either of them. And that's how we like to do most calls. Yeah. Yeah, it's really good. I got a call off them the other day My mother rang me by mistake and then I answered and I could hear my dad saying I think you're ring She here, you're near ring Shane actually. in the back, Wh who am I ringing? I think you're near rang Shane on that there. And I could hear the whole thinging of the two of them having this conversation back and forth. So I. So my mom, if you ever want an instant review of a phone call, she very often fails to turn hers off. Great to end the call. She relies on the other person to end the call So if you don't end the call you just hear Boy is an idiot You know, just a nice synopsis. I have the complete opposite, which is if I'm on the phone to mom and I say, Mom, I've gotta go. She thinks her phone will explode if she doesn't hang up within ner point one se.. I've gotta go, like that's pretty soon. She's like, Okay bye. She is out there Yeah, it's quite extraordinary. Okay, so we've done so what is this bedtime now? So where are we? It's getting to bedtime and I was looking at the like screensaver on the TV about Mystic River, about which I don't know anything. I don't know what's in that film, but I know it was significant at the time And I just looked at it and I was like, look, we failed. We' failed on this. I was like, we haven't got there. We haven't managed to achieve this today We're doing shows tonight now. so that's it, that's my that was my bachelor night in. But look, that's time well spent doing the invitations, time well spent. so that's good. Today of great achievement. So do we go to bed? do we just head on the pillow out Or do we lie looking at our phone for three hours There is a little column A and a little column B max. I won't lie about that.. Yeah, I did do some phone time It was enjoyable. There was actually you said it ear on somethingomet about nominative determinism. Yeah There was one I saw a good TikTok of a girl who said that her she got her invitation to her smear test appointment And the doctor was called Dror Finger So that would be the one that stands out and then I'll look at the ones that Raymond has sent me like when he was in the airport that, you know, and stuff he sitt around. So I'll look at the I'll catch up on the thread what he sent me. Often a lot of kids being cute or kids being rude, moreor falling he knows what to send me. Yeah. So we have a good rapport there I had an Uber driver recently and this is when you don't want it to be nominative determinism, because he was called Gary Coroner Oh which it does sound more like the wrestler that never wins. You know match aan Randy Savage and in the blue corner Gary You you think actually Gary Coroner is like Uberdoy is like three steps away, isn't it? I reckon if your doctor is called Gary Coroner. Den you' like I'm not sure I w. that But like obviously if your coroner is Gary Coroner, it doesn't really matter by then. Do it? It's like, that's fine. I don't think you want your Uber driver to be called Gary Prang or Gary Car crrash. cararry car crash. Do you Shane, do you pop a podcast when you move from surfin and Turfan into now I'm going to go asleep put on a low key podcast just to guial you off into the sandman zone Like I'm a bit ashamed of this. It's one of the I'm trying to get rid of all the bad things, but you can only do so many at once. like I do the gym. This is an active good thing to add on I'm trying to get rid of the bad things. I do eventually want to get to phone out of the bedroom. I do really want to do that. It's a way off, yes We had mice. When we first moved into this house, there was mice and I could not Go to sleep with nothing. so I used to have stuff on in my ears the whole time and podcasty stuff wasn't cutting it. so I had the video people. just constantly in there and I would just fall asleep to that because I had to have something in my ears because if you could hear the mice in those first few weeks, it made my stomach sick and I couldn't sleep. But then I became addicted to having cononstant. ear noise. C you put on bag puss, which doesn't that have little mice in it going. Thatd be a bad one to put on. It's like those mice would Owhelmed the real Yeahah, that's a good idea. ye. The mice we dealt with are now gone and light to God shine upon them. May God rest them Survival of the fittest. Sorry. But hang on You can't have videos on when Raymond's there though. Raymond is a great sleeper. He will put in earplugs because I snore So we'll do a bit of phone, we'll talk, that kind of thing. Yeah. and then you'll go, okay, good night and then he'll put in his ear plugs and he just turns over and he goes to sleep within a minute like a he'll do like a kicking falling asleep, kicking that boys do. Yeah. We miss We miss Were you happy with your yesterday? I was pleased with it. I have regrets about that gym thing because I can't rebook because I don't really understand what there's a system to do with credits. So I don't really understand but I can't replace that like on a different day. So I think I'm being punished. It's like, well, you're ruined this week. I think the gym system punishes you. I'm not sure, but it's a very friendly gym so that wouldn't make much sense. Certainly in the class I participate in maybe in the lower classes lon. The chimney sweep knee pad glasses, no knee pads. You haven't heard of knee pads get upstairs mate. From our previous yesterday, Shane, Was there not a personal trainer who you're at a risk of disappointing You know what I mean if you don't go time, I did deal a lot with Rory. Y. Oh yes, Rory. I talked about Rory on my podcast, Young Hot guysuys. Somebody told Rory about this and sent it to him and the whole gym heard me talk about the gym. The whole staff seem to have been sent. Island is too small Like it's too small it is. But it's less Rory focused now. Rory kind of gets you started and gets going and now it's a lot of it is Craig. Yeah C could be involved a lot. really like Craig and Luke as well. Yeah. And I only see men because the men seem to teach in the morning I go in the mornings where the women seem to be in the evening. I don't know what that is. I don't know how they've done that, but that's the system. Yeah, yeah. Okay. If You do an evening, you might see Benny. She's a woman. She's very good Yeah Is that re? you wanted to include this? Is that enough I always find with the podcast, you know, the ones I listen to. Once you've got to an hour thirty eight, I do like to list all the personal trainers at the gym of the guest That's what you need to do before you can really round everything off. Is the hour thirty eight my fault? I don't know. I know I always blame David. What we've discovered is people don't mind this podcast being long. Yeah. In fact, quite often I've got another show or something to do. So I'm the one about two minutes later just going, Yeah, come on. Do not cut things though as well? I'm not not involved in that bit. who knows? Audio only. What a dream. You can trim everything you like all the time. This episode will be eight minutes long ye And the whole day will just be like electric guitars wailing in the background And then and then and then mic drop Jane Daniele Byr, thank you very much for telling us what you did yesterday Thank you, it was a distinct pleasure. What a lovely day. snow shoes. Snow shoes I these twoes are already basically tennis rackets, aren't they? You're old two It's two tennis rets. What else listeners? Good I wouldn't say we're flounders. I love. We went to Bellows Quite early in that And then Yale Keys if it was a mini Andre Agassy or like you did a weird thing with perspective. Like it's fun to think of other not just aggassy and what he would advertise, but you know, if you took any sports person. You know if you took that's a good ide Sean Curlely and you said, he'll only advertise things that are shaped like a hockey stick. that is really you're limiting yourself there. Wow, are't you? I was once sent by the plumber to the plumbing supplies shop And you know There is that fear you always have where you've been sent off to buy a barrel of air or whatever and they're all laughing at you. Yeah ye He sent me off to buy a hockey stick which is a specific sort of pipe you use in sinks H a little hook. Yeah, that has a little hook on it. So and it's made by Slazinger. Sean Curlely, the only male hockey player we could think of could advertise those. Listeners What could other athletes advertise? You know, because you could go Lonell Messi could advertise globes. Whereas you know, Will Carling is pretty much confined to eggs Isn't he? Like Mbe sort of a pudding, a large sausage pudding kind of thing as well. That's an indeterminate shape, isn't it? a sausage pudding? Isn't it? whyy is a sausage pudding shaped like a ruggy ball? I don't think it is shaped Is it shaped like a rugby ball? I don't know if I've ever been served sausage pudding but certainly not in that shape. If You have any ideas for objects that athletes could advertise. So a relay runner could advertise I guess a rolled of newspapers, but I guess spike pumps. Absly.
