Great, any questions? Yeah, well we'll start off

0:50

with a comment. Steve

0:52

0:54

episode when you're chatting about the thumbs up in

0:57

Iraq Darren Nunchlantley says, because that's the tum that

0:59

you stick up your bum and

1:01

you two simply move past it right away. It

1:05

is the tum that you stick up your bum though, isn't it? He

1:07

liked that one did he? He did. Steven

1:09

was a fan. At least someone noticed. Ro

1:13

in Barcelona. Hello. Would you

1:15

prefer to play for my United for one season and

1:17

you win the league or have your kid have a

1:19

full 20 year career at United and they win everything?

1:23

Have me kid play for 20

1:25

years and they win everything. It's about the

1:27

money really, isn't it? The glory is

1:30

nice, but you can also. He has

1:32

money. Yeah. Can't be giving you

1:34

a penny of it. Fucking will. I'll be

1:36

taking it. He'll ditch you. I'll be his

1:38

manager. Because if

1:40

you're under 18, who gets

1:42

the money then? Like actors who

1:44

act in films and are under 18. The

1:47

parents get the money or does it go into an

1:49

escrow account or where does the money go? PTSD.

1:53

PTSD into the squirrel savings

2:40

d'Or And then sail off

2:42

into early retirement Any

2:44

more questions? Yep Like

2:46

that one because that was very good Jake wants to know

2:49

Out of these four places You

2:51

can only choose one to keep The other three

2:53

are erased from history And you'll have no memories

2:55

of them Extravision He

2:59

says the plex in Kulak But

3:01

let's just extend that to the

3:03

plex The plex Beilac or hillbillies

3:05

Which would you erase? And

3:07

which is best? Two questions Erase

3:11

Which would you erase? Extravision So you don't, he

3:13

said no He says at the start Which

3:16

would you, yeah Which one, keep one And the other

3:18

three go Oh So which one would you keep?

3:21

Well, Extravision's already gone But

3:24

you'll have no Extravision memories And that's the thing

3:26

Oh I wouldn't like that It's most of my

3:28

fucking childhood there Who am I? If

3:31

Extravision didn't exist I

3:34

wouldn't know anything about myself Fourth

3:38

time robin' something Fourth

3:41

time, er A

3:43

lot of fourth times in Extravision The plex

3:45

didn't really play a part of my life long

3:47

enough So I think I'd lose the plex I

3:50

would agree with you Although that's

3:52

where we did go to the spin disco

3:55

Oh he didn't And

3:57

there's a lot of memories there too Yeah, but more

3:59

memories there an extra vision? I

4:02

think I've been bowling in the leisureplex a few times

4:04

but other than that

4:06

it doesn't it doesn't stand out in

4:09

me. And then hillbillies chicken? Yeah that's

4:11

just nice. Lovely. But there's

4:14

lots of other chicken places. If you look

4:16

forward probably not as nice but I

4:19

went to I went to merino school

4:21

and that was my lunch pretty much

4:23

every day. Either that or Fairview Grill,

4:26

Mini Grill, five euro it's great.

4:29

Yeah yeah but hillbillies top class

4:31

that gravy you wouldn't want to

4:33

get rid of that. Hillbillies for the record is probably

4:36

the nicest fried chicken you can get. No

4:39

probably about it. It is. Yeah

4:43

but it's sadly dropper. Would you? Yeah. Over

4:46

the oilac. I drop the oilac

4:48

as well and keep extra vision memories. I blow

4:51

up the oilac. Here's my answer. Blow

4:53

up. Blow up the oilac and go as

4:55

well. The oilac and the leisureplex. No you

4:57

only went menswear man. I know yeah I

4:59

know like if you could blow up the

5:01

oil I can keep unique. Is that gone?

5:04

Unique? Unique's gone isn't it? Yeah it's a tiger now.

5:07

Flying tiger. Fucking

5:09

stationary. Stationary? Whisk. Ringback

5:12

leather jackets and

5:14

t-shirts that say I'm a

5:16

buddha. Oh my god. Pity it's the body of

5:18

a buddha. Shit t-shirts novelty

5:20

t-shirts. I'll get rid of

5:22

all them and keep extra vision. I also

5:24

I fucking love hillbillies man. But

5:27

I'll just get a KFC. I

5:31

might go in and you could say fucking charbusters though.

5:34

Okay let's move on from this. You're taking

5:36

extra vision. He's taking hillbillies. I'll

5:39

7:47

honestly what would you say the best way

7:49

to get around just get off and the

7:52

main spot and then walk around it's all

7:54

walkable yeah it's smart like Dublin is really

7:56

smart that's kind of where you're from in

7:58

Scotland but it's Going to similar

8:00

to Edinburgh, maybe even smaller. I have a

8:02

question for Liz. She

8:05

8:08

let us sit with her. OK. Will

8:10

8:14

8:19

of months ago. I don't even know what it

8:21

is. Big Soft Santee lives in Scotland

8:23

and she came home and she brought

8:25

some haggis. I was in Soft Santee. We didn't just go

8:27

to South Faggis. I was just there and she happened to

8:29

be there and she's like, trying to

8:32

try something like, yeah, fuck it. It's like Black Puddin.

8:34

OK. But, show you. Yeah.

8:37

No, rotten. Did

8:40

you have some scotchy egg? No,

8:42

8:45

kind of sounds like it's a deep fried breaded

8:49

boiled egg. Scotch egg.

8:51

You get them in M&S. Yeah.

8:54

You get them in Italy as well, I think.

8:56

9:07

thanks for all that. Yeah. See

9:09

you there. Well, to answer your question, I say

9:11

rent a bike, cycle around. There's

9:14

a website, there's an app called Moby

9:16

Bikes and you can just kind

9:19

of scan a QR

9:21

code and then it unlocks the lock. It is

9:23

locked up anywhere. If you want to take a

9:25

leaf out of my book, anytime I'm anywhere, that

9:27

I don't know, I want to travel around. I

9:30

just jump from taxi to taxi. Taxi to taxi.

9:32

If you made a money, not everyone's made of

9:34

money, darling. I've

9:36

got some parked off just for taxis. I

9:39

think walking around. Oh, walking

9:41

around. Yep. All day. Yeah,

9:44

well, like if you're fucking. Yeah. No, you

9:46

want to go see a Trinity College parky

9:48

bike, go see Christchurch parky bike, go to

9:50

Glass, Nevin parky bike. They hit

9:53

all the spots, hit all the fucking spots while you're here. Not

9:55

really that good though. Well, you

9:57

know, that year, we're only good. Because

10:00

we're from her. Yeah, I'm probably got to live Grace

10:10

has been on to us again about

10:12

dog grooming Okay,

10:15

so I got Frank room the other day. Yep

10:18

She mentions that getting a dog groomed in the

10:20

vets It's not usually a vet

10:22

doing it but it's a designated groomer in the

10:25

vet Yeah, the ring the vet in so this

10:27

is grace who check me last week I

10:29

said you can't get a dog groomed in the vet

10:31

grace is all over you She says it's

10:34

good to go to the vets for two reasons if

10:36

your dog is nervous of the grooming they can sedate

10:38

the dog So it's less stressful for the dog and

10:40

number two as the money-saving tip for Joe

10:43

Grace says They

10:45

check the dog while they're grooming. You've basically saved yourself

10:47

a trip to the vet in the first place Two

10:49

for one. Here's a money-saving tip

10:52

don't get a fucking dog pointless

10:56

Pointless horrible in there. Grace says

10:58

she trained she trained as a groomer, but

11:00

never went pro too many dogs Try to

11:02

bite her and their owners were ourselves Yeah,

11:05

that's a good little phrasing not today. Grace

11:07

also has a poke but it's a hairy poke called

11:10

Bertie Oh, he's a heidi. I

11:12

got Frank ground the other day put him man

11:14

I Brought

11:18

the pet mania for the fourth time for

11:21

the first time Gave him

11:23

the whole works, but they we were

11:26

previously like you just getting shaved not

11:29

like skin, but like Her

11:31

left but just shaved and they said they're

11:33

not supposed to do that to a book supposed

11:35

to keep their air coat and

11:38

they're supposed to just get a D shedded so we did that

11:41

real soft now Look this fella

11:44

Lovely boy, so I'll see when you're gonna die

11:46

fuck off. He is gonna die Like

11:54

I was only everyone's gonna die. Yeah. Yeah

11:57

when when jump I

12:00

don't even go there. Boyman

12:02

is a human. A human being. I'm

12:04

gonna say I'm... Yep.

12:09

How old is he? Seven. Still

12:12

has a few years left, man. Yeah. A few years. Good

12:14

for you. He might make the wedding. He's getting another seven

12:16

out at least, I think. Yeah. Before...

12:19

He'll probably get a good two years before

12:21

he gets very sick and... He won't

12:23

be sick. He's a good boy. Good

12:25

boys don't get sick. Do you have a dog on? No,

12:28

it's holding the paw. Oh yeah. He said he'd like

12:30

one. Oh, you used to have one. You had one. You had one. Oh,

12:33

you had the dog, the clever dog that

12:35

kept running away and coming home. And

12:38

someone else claimed him. Tried

12:40

to deal him, yeah. What was

12:42

his name again? Monty. Monty. And

12:44

Monty died. Monty did die.

12:46

That's what happens. Dogs, man. They die and

12:48

they break people's hearts. That's what happens with

12:50

life. You're

12:53

born, you live and you die. Like us. I

12:55

was only going past Glassham and Sematary today. I

12:58

was looking at all the gravestones and like, I'm gonna be in there.

13:01

One day you will, yeah. Maybe. If you're

13:03

lucky. Everything seems pointless then, doesn't it? Why?

13:08

Everything seems bad. Am I doing all this for I'm just gonna... Croca?

13:13

That's why you do everything. That's the reason

13:15

why you do it. I don't feel like that now. I

13:17

feel like why am I doing this? It

13:19

makes you feel like, oh, grateful that you're

13:22

here. From this moment. Not really. You

13:25

just wandered past Glassham and you've ended up

13:27

in like an existential... ...places. I

13:29

didn't wander past. I was going past on

13:31

the bus, like a taxi and I was

13:34

just looking in. I was like, because the

13:36

taxi was stopped in traffic and

13:38

I just looked at me left. And it's

13:41

just like, never ending the amount of gravestones

13:44

with people. Like it was at the back of

13:46

them. So it's just like loads of second names. Like, and I'm like,

13:50

what a good point. All

13:52

these grandparents lived just off Griffith Avenue and

13:54

I was in whenever the

13:57

way we go home, the way we should go home is

13:59

you're grateful. Griffith Avenue and then

14:01

you go up, I don't even

14:03

know what it's called, like the R-town Road, but

14:05

it goes by Kerwin's Funeral Home then and

14:08

there's some without Kerwin's Funeral Home that gives

14:10

me the Hebe Geebies so

14:12

I'm like I can't go past there I have

14:14

to drive up to the Malahide Road and go

14:16

up the Malahide Road so I don't see the Funeral

14:18

Home. Not all funeral homes

14:20

give me the Hebe Geebies but that

14:22

one does and I think it's

14:24

because they have a sign outside as if

14:27

it's like welcoming you like hey when you're

14:29

done like you know come on in video

14:31

for you videography and everything yeah I did

14:33

they do that and everything normal video of your death but

14:36

yeah there you go

14:38

sorry about that I think you should have

14:40

the opposite effect though I think if you're

14:42

coming to don't feel that then you're gonna

14:44

feel oh thank God I'm alive right now

14:46

coming to those in a way I suppose

14:48

like I also thought as well like

14:51

I don't care makes me not

14:54

care or something yeah yeah of opinions

14:56

or something like that yeah

14:59

but at the end of all this who gives a fuck

15:02

they kind of do

15:05

it so yeah it gives you it's

15:07

kind of liberating makes it kind of carefree a little

15:10

bit makes you want to just do

15:12

something mad and then it

15:14

like you just gonna do it so whatever you

15:16

just hear you just make your mark

15:18

you do something mad you make your mark and

15:20

then you live well I find it

15:23

very interesting actually yeah this

15:25

all came from shaving pugs that's

15:27

how he says in the thanks gonna die

15:29

and everything which he sounds obviously but

15:32

it may be ponders gone past class

15:34

never cemetery yeah yeah the only

15:38

fucking reminded me I've got forgot all about and now

15:40

I'm back to square one I have to get settle

15:43

in again isn't that why life's worth living because you

15:45

could be talking about shaving a pugan that's

15:47

probably the next thing you know you're that's one of

15:49

the meaning about life isn't it you yeah beauty do

15:52

the life well

15:54

weird weird animals well weird
