With toothpicks and you look like deserters from like, no, no, no. From like the Gulf, Not the Gulf. Vietnam, Vietnam. Vietnam. You look like a have a wee looker. Do you like when you go to a restaurant? You said you want dessert. You actually both do suit toothpicks like I'm not gonna lie, and smoking like we're all about smoking. You both. Do I don't know? I don't. I don't. People say I don't. I'm not going to work for the rest of the pod if I'm honest. I look like I was smoking

cigarettes. I need to be in like the long holder. You'd have a cigarette in a wee, like, not even a cigarette holder, like there'd be a, you know, on the end of a needle. Yes, for the white glove. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. When you smoke for a cigarette. When I was 19. Oh really? Yeah, most people start way. I smoked before that.

I only started when the smoking ban came in because it was when the smoking ban came in, everyone outside there was more crack and it was a better way to meet women at uni. Yeah, when do you? Spoken player hit the game. What do you do? You 38 Why? Did you act like you have loads of money on Mickey not being that age and you're about to? Really. No, it just it upsets me whenever I hear people saying things like I was 19 in 2000. And seven in 19. 43.

So you would have been. 4320. Two in 2007. 22 shown. When you smoke first. Probably I was about 15 or 16. See, I remember having we cheeky draws I like 12/12/13, but I would I felt class when I did it like but I would only take one or two and then I'd have to go away and take my inhaler. All right. Would you have we faint? I did. So I bet. Yeah, I'd be sorry. I don't know that I would get confused between alcohol, drugs and cigarettes.

So I take a puff of a cigarette and be like, I'm stoned, you know, and be like, fault. Thanks, Tony. Thank you. Tony. Landon actually want one. But we can leave it there as a problem and can I can I say something? I grew up it really shoot you. I know you don't like compliments. Weird about all that kind of thing. That call really Shoot. You I wore a similar blue shirt that was like buttoned up at a gig in the bank, eh way back. And Adam Barn told me a lot.

Big filled hitter. The darts by. All of Burns are cheap. He looks like Joe Exotic. Shut the fuck up. I was like, I was like, I'm angry. That's fucking. Hilarious, I really. Do dart players not have the best life paints and darts? Like I don't like darts, but it just looks like you. Don't matter. My pants even. Yes, true. But even like. You just like start. We read dots. But even if you get injured, so. That's 2 tricks are gonna be dead.

Even if you get injured as darts prayer, you still play. You know there's a thing called dart Itis no where they literally I did a I did a bit of course, yeah, I did a behind the scenes photo shoot for a gay who did a documentary for BBC right about the nearly darts league and it's the it's the second biggest darts league in Europe. They understand right in Europe. Yeah, and I Brexit. Means Brexit. So I ended. Up two specs really changed you?

It's changing me as well. Just like Joe Yokel, Imagine. But anyway, yeah. So there was a gay there who had been suffering from dartnatus, where it's like, yeah, you have it, but you're like, it won't leave your hand. I think that's called wankers Cramp for this man. Well, apparently it's a real thing. It just gets in your head like. Just yeah, but it's like it can ruin your career. Like PTSD, post traumatic stress starts. Yeah, do you play Dart? No. Never throw a few.

I've got a dartboard man does this. I was decent actually. Funny enough, I love darts. I was a kid. I'm like you're play dart. Nah, I was decent PDC world champ. No, I know it's PDC or whatever. I mumbled that because I was like. Yeah, but I love darts. Was a kid. So when Bullseye was on TV, weird. But there's a there's a photo of me somewhere, my auntie is holding a dartboard and I'm like 3 throwing darts at like why? Just holding right. And she was like. Irresponsible as.

Irresponsible. I remember. Dad. Be like you never miss. Like you always hit her. Sippers, This episode of the Team With Me podcast is sponsored by none other than that prize guy, TPGAKAKATPG. That price guy is Ireland's number one price site. What this guy is doing is quite frankly unbelievable. Giving away millions of pounds. I mean quite literally millions of points done. How much? 100 And prizes equal over 100

million. I'd say it's over 130 million at this point, maybe 135 million he's given. Which is absolutely not changing the lives of everyday people when a massive sums of money. Sometimes they'll do a competition for a supercar or if you don't want that, you can take the cash or a house and if you don't want it, you can take the cash. Unbelievable. And not I'll be in such a small place.

Everyone kind of know someone who knew someone who's won big on that prize Guy, you can go on that price guy.co.uk to see all the draws he has going at the minute. It's not just the big massive stuff. Sometimes it's small prizes, and I say small will be like 10 grand. 10 grand for how much to enter £50.10. You're saying if I buy a 10P ticket I have a chance of winning 10 grand? Yeah, that's a million times more. That's 100,000 times more

greater than the price. The entry you could a million times plus your money. Million to one 110,000,000. If you're not in it, chicken dinner, that prize guy.co.uk. The link for that is in the description. Go check out. See, without everything going, we're also doing a massive gigantic football match with that prize guy day after the live podcast at Seaview with me FC versus Premier League Legends. We'll put the link for that in the description as well.

We need to put point in the direction of our Patreon as well. patreon.com slash tea with me. Everything is on there. We just filmed the boozy Beer golf, which we talk about in this episode. What we can release is only going to be on Patreon. It's going to take Fosty 7 1/2 years to do this, and it's going to take longer than all the Lord of the Rings films to do this edit. But he's going to get working on that soon and that'll be up there as a Patreon exclusive.

And I don't think we'll ever be able to be released public. You'll never you'll see clips, but it'll never go public as a full thing. Patreon at dot com slash T with me podcast back to the app. Oh, I am. What kind of put me off Dart is my granddad died one night, right? Fucking Dart 1. Night Dart related he died right right and then I went down to my cousin's house just like so few more recent like not but not the ground on that side. You get me?

So I went down to my cousin's house cousin we ran into earlier that night straight. So I just called in and they were playing darts and I just stood off the side and I was like pretty sad about my grandadine. And then one of the darts they threw bounced off the board and went through my foot and then I was crying. I was just extra sad because. It's much worse than the. Dart was in my foot of my granddad that, so I was really

crying. I I had a summer appearance where it was a woman we knew who actually should join. She took her what he called, took the holy orders like she was a child of Jesus, right? And she died the day. Music Day. The day before or your first birthday and I went, I went down, I've done I was in my cousin's house distraught and one of them how? Did you know her? Just from just about the town and she's. Not around town, yeah. What was your name, Sister Mariosa.

Sister Mariosa. Yeah, she was Spanish and therefore 81st birthday and one of the lads made a very an appropriate joke. Yeah, three triple 20s in a row and shouted one on dead and 80 and I was like, lad, that's not funny, that's niche. I was like that's not funny though. I said even the bullseye cried out there. Sister Mariosa sounds like a budget cleaning brand. Yeah, in B&M. It's something what be Goldberg's character and sister.

Bullseye was a show I never watched and have no regard we. Haven't lived. I haven't lived. That was amazing. Terrific. What do you call the mother hosted? Just bored. Yeah, well, you too fat bastard to play and dad like. You could have said that, yeah. Dropping Edwards like for etcetera. Tony. Remember Tony? Do you see the Dart Pro?

I have a lot of free times where I know a lot of clear movie effective. Nick loves movies. How was the chippy apart from a 10 out of 10?

Tell me. Here's why it was so good. The queue was halfway up the street, I went on. You love queue. Oh, sorry that I thought that you meant that out of your experience, no. Oh, I was well in the queue, but then I realised queues for the ice cream, so the feeling of walking past it straight up to the chippy because they're both in the one thing here. Unbelievable. Yourself worth in the toilet. Why? The feeling of walking past the queue right just because there's people getting ice cream.

Yeah, but I just felt like I was going to have to queue and then I when I realised I wasn't and I was getting the chips straight away, that was a great feeling. But they were lovely. I'm started to be harbour but warm points, really nice. But then sometimes I go our place is just nice because it's really sunny. Is anywhere everywhere Nice because it's sunny. But warm point. Nice. Sorry you're. Talking my prick there eh? Warm forward points. Lovely, I think all year round. It is nice.

I think that's that's that's why I'd be awkward. I go here, I'm doing this even and they're not interested and it was. Because you're lying, 99% of people are. If you go, what's that for? They go. I'm going to put it up. Yeah, for.

But we went into the had it's a couple of years ago, we bought another dildo and we went into the behind the curtain bit and they had like the bottom half of a torso. So just a dirt and bomb and legs in fishnet tights, like bent over a chair and get us was like we were two grown men the size of us get us like poke up bomb and I'm like no.

Let's get back to this app. There's yeah, definitely some guys I can look at and definitely. Appreciate I fancy more fellas than I do women. The only thing stopping me from being full blown gay is I'd be worried if I get a bigger Willy I'd be jealous. If you saw one if. I if I was the goal with them, but this is going really well.

And then we got home for a first night together and he wept at a big Dong. Yeah, I'd like him to take out homie. He started nickname all QT nicknames and he's calling you index. Yeah, yeah.

Brad, Pit and Seven. Brad Pit and me. Never seen it. You will I get my way? But yeah, I'm just. Curious, I'll move out the road. Just curious what sex shops and wondering like are the late because surely you want to touch it before you buy it? Or do you think you just have one? You like your nose, you're going and just get a new one every time, I think. You've got a fair idea before you go in what you're looking for.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You probably know like how deep your asshole is. Yeah, let's take. That's all. The Bee Gees originally actually on and. When you rise in the morning bomb, When you rise in the morning bomb got lost there. Yeah, All these shops are people docking in trying to not be seen or people just down there. I don't know. I'd be awkward, but. I went in with the full confidence that it was for a kick. I can't imagine if I was going to buy it for the actual.

Yeah, the act of meaning. The act of the act, you may not be weirded out. I imagine those shops are probably hardest that was you order that much online these days, do you know what I mean? See, there was a sex shop and you're at a stage. Oh, why? That's what it's called. Oh, it's called. It was called Nice to be Naughty I. Don't know why it sniffed. Yeah, I'm. Sure, it starts out of the rabbit hole. Nice. And by the way, nice two number two, all 100. And.

I think it was a cap, a logo. It was on the window. But they're facing each other. I can't remember. I can't remember, but the gay that used to work on it, you said like see, I still see him about your ear. Whatever on the Main St. On one of the one of the lesser known streets, right? And it was like after COVID or whatever, and I was like, well, I was cracked. Lesbie Ave. I don't know. I was like, what's happening? There's going, I said you still,

you still in the sex shop. And he's like, no, no, it's close now, he says. But I still sell poppers from the house. It's Newry too, so you know it's laundered poppers. It's red. Poppers, you have to dip the asshole and check. HMRC coming up to dip, take it away. Cops can pull you over. I love that selling. Poppers your. Selling poppers from the house.

Yeah, it's, it's, yeah, it's having the confidence to walk into like in Dublin, there's a central you can sit and have a coffee and there's a sex shop underneath it. But if you're sitting having a coffee at the window of a trips at the Olympia Theatre, you just watch all the people walking in and no one gives a fuck. Like they just like that. The walk in and vibrate out. All guys too. See, I was with me and get us another one to buy a dildo for previous video. That was top report.

There was guys in the you're on court. No, they were still buying like porn mags and the wee brown paper bags and I already been like, you know, porns on the Internet for nothing like and. Maybe the like the tacktail? They might just be collecting them. Might be going this is an issue. This is the first issue of Big Bossy Babes. Yeah, babes, right? It could be that, yeah. Big Bubblies. Like March attacks, but for. Perverts take them home and laminate them. Yeah, but yourself, Yeah.

Yeah. I don't think I could walk in somewhere to go. I don't think it was for something like a show or something to be fun. What if it was a queue? I'd said it. Oh no. There was 2 tax I said it when I went down like and it felt like they just stood 3rd and how many people in the morning? Yeah, yeah. Any other questions about my little? Yeah, I don't think so. I don't think so. But you're Auntie? Yes, I want to check. Where was she? A nun. I made that up, man. I know, I know.

No. Do you know who Nelson Mandela is? Nelson from The Simpsons. That was Michael D Higgins. How's it going down, Nelson

Mandela? Hold on, let me try again. I want to welcome you all to Dublin, Nelson Mandel. Yeah, fair. Enough Paul Mcgrassdale. No, no. All right, class. That's because these are all young. I'm not. Yes, it was in Mandela Hall, eh, with Teresa Sport. Teresa Eh last Saturday night. Mandel holds brilliant. Class. I was folly shaping myself like folly because it was like Men in Black when you're going up because the fucking, you know, there was like elevators with fucking key cards and all

Did you ever go watch comedy there when it was the old Mandela? Like you ever go to Queens

How good was the old Mandela Hall with the balcony Queens Comedy club like back in the day? It was class the. Lineups were unbelievable. It was the best club by thinking Belfast. Yeah, if we could never get on until all those fuckers retired and. We literally, you literally just want to watch and it was unbelievable.

So who we're talking about then? I saw Kevin Bridges there. Yeah, before. Like he was that well known at all. Tom Steed was always like. Tom Steed still there. I opened for Tom in February there. He's he's just, he's I think he's all my favourite comedians. Yeah. You put a clip up last week. You start with the guy in the face, like what do you do, man? And the guy's like I'm saying he's retired. He could you hear that?

He's retired. Do you like you can see Tom Sales. He's been like, I was funny as fucking nobody heard it. But you watch a load of stand up since you started stand up. Have you watched? A lot of people watch less once they start. No, but I think I need to start doing that more, yeah, to sort of work out a bit of, I don't know, craft or something. I don't know. But you're not to blow too much more your whole you are one of the most naturally funny people.

I think you're. I've ever met to understand what people. Spend so long trying to find like like their voice or who they are. Yeah, Yeah, I think, yeah. You spend years trying to like, do you got it? Yeah, I think a lot of people spend years trying to fit in the parameters of what a stand up is. And then once you figure that out, you go back to being as funny as you were when you before you started. OK. So less than nobody, just you keep being you.

I had to follow her one night and then a skillet was the hardest gig ever done my life. See, I I believe that to be bollocks. No, it's true. No, don't be wrong. About a week later I was opening for you and Yuri and I went fucking hell for that. Like tech, you bitchy. Do you remember that night? And it's the funniest thing I've ever seen in 17 years of stand up right. And I've maybe told it before. So we were doing a gig and Yuri and a guy came in at Mccoo.

He was like, fuck, fuck. I took him to the formula. Fuck is here with his wife. Fuck. Fuck what? The fuck? You were all you won't let us know what the fuck off? Fuck no, because I mean. He's going to RIP me out. Don't let the formal or don't. So she she's up on stage. I just because obviously you mustn't. You were worried that he was going to say something. So you went by the way. I took him to the formal and the

whole crowd cheered. And then he went a much better at finger now Leah, But then his wife went. No he's not. It was fucking British. It was, it was, it was good night, the phrase you took. Him to the foremost funny, like I can imagine you just going up to someone in the playground and. Like we're going. In the playground, yeah. The fuck sort of mental school did you go to? I don't know how to playground. Oh, here Mary is Che Guevara. Taught me through your. Taught me through your.

School mind that was. Fuck, I was like. In the jungle. I was like, don't turn Gaza with, yeah. Paul. Just fucking our our play. I don't, we don't really have playgrounds. We just had bets of tarmac. You can kick a football about. Yeah, or go for a smoke. Is this in like secondary school days? Yeah. Yeah, well we I had an all weather pitch and a camogie pitch and fucking tennis court and load of stuff but come on. None of which they used.

But we played tennis court. Yeah, there's we had a handball alley. We didn't. I'm pretty sure. I don't think it really was a humble. I think what happened was an old bit of the school fell down and they went as a humble. Yeah. Have you ever have you ever been asked to go back to your school? Notice I've gone back a few times. To do what? Yeah, recently, No, I've gone back a couple times, like I've done stand up twice for the school's anniversary and then

yeah. And then I think I went back one time and give like a talk the lower upper 6th like drama students where I sense it just went don't do it, get a real job. Would you go back and say, like say you were asked, would you give a talk to your old school to go back? Yeah, I would. They haven't asked me. Though did you like your school? Experience. I loved school. Loved it. I liked it as well.

Loved every second. I liked it after GCSE once I stopped having to do maths I was like school class. I left at that point. I didn't do a great deal. I just knocked about the crack. I think my issue was I was like one of the youngest in my year. I think if I had just been allowed to just chill and rejoin the next year, it had been easier. Like I was like, because there's people like nearly a year old on in your year and I just, I struggle academically and I find it hard to believe, but I

couldn't concentrate. So what was your strongest subject then? English. I wrote in my English GCSE, I wrote an essay, but I'm a biology teacher in the school, saving people in like a Baywatch kind of situation, and I remember laughing as we were obviously so. Weird, I thought he was. I wrote a model. Fiesta meal. Like in the 60s I loved English, I loved anything creative. But like my size. I remember sending a physics teacher in like second or third year.

I was like sure I'll not be able to learn any of this but I'll not cause any disruption. So I was like, she just leave me alone. Like having I know he was signed about Mr. Miller. He's like, that's fine. The absolute confidence of saying that to a teacher. But I didn't say in front. Everyone was just literally like I would say, did you? I'm never going to be able to understand this. Just like just let me like just

let me let me fly. We had good teachers as well who would who knew you were there because you had to be. They would just be like. And as long as you're not being in a disruptive influencer, like work away. But I at some point I probably should have like asked for help in school. Big regret on my. Fucking Debbie Downer. But I never I've never been asked back. Probably would do something.

You'd never been asked back, no. Christ and because I left in 50 and when I say I hate school, I didn't hate the school I went to. I just did not like wearing a uniform being the school. They probably do have that weird thing of like they can't bring you back unless you've done A levels. Do you like in terms of school in? Case your their eyes is get up I. Could go to tech, Yeah, like,

yeah, tech. I've been brought back to the university a couple times and I can tell you right now I did not open a book for three. Like I drank for three years and tried to curt every girl of my class McGee and they brought me back three times, I think once as a guest lecture. We went, we went, we went back a couple of years after you left to do a gig. You kind of brought us her and you were like Van Wilder, like telling us all your old stories. And people were like, there he is.

He was like a mythical figure. George relives it when we went back for the gigs you did in McGee, Yeah, it had been a full 20 years since I started and I was like, this place hasn't changed, but my reflection is shocking. And. I I didn't sleep for two or three days after. That people are like really whispering his name and corridors there and stuff. They're like, he's not real. There's a photo of of like past nights out in McGee Union on like on the wall and somebody

was like, is that you? And it's a guy that does look a bit like me and I I'm like I'm not in the photo, but I was out that night because of the exact same shirt. Me and the fellow nice shirt leather you got deviant. Did you go to uni? I went to Queens for six weeks and then dropped it. What did you go study? Politics. Well, he did politics, but does everyone who studies politics go to want to be a politician? I no, that's like everyone who does geography going to be an

item. I think that's facetious and I wish it. That's philosopher. First time I've used that. That's facetious. That's psoriasis actually, and. But I. Think about to point it out. Why did you leave? Because I fucking hated. It you just hate it. I hated uni, I try to leave uni like 6 different times and my lecture would be like no but you belong in the arts, maybe all you do belong in the. Yeah. You did the 20 grand later like. Belong up the arts. Hmm, up the arts. Yeah, I did.

Yeah. I, I didn't have the, I didn't have the grades to do law in Queens. I kind of went to McGee or Colerain or somewhere, but didn't want to, didn't want to go, didn't lawyers. Didn't want to lawyers. No, it is. I didn't want to go on my own right like it was a big, big move moving on, Yuri Yeah, to go anywhere. Yeah, let alone go away from all my all my mates. So I went to Queens don't fuck all for six weeks and I actually I'm at a game. Yeah, I wasn't hold.

I met a guy called Paul from Lawton. He was so concerned but he was a pure 90s throwback and we used to sit in lectures the few lectures that we went. To so I was just not the 90s you were in you. Your region that you had the fucking make there you cock bag. Fucking cock bag. Yeah, cock. Bag cock. Bag cock. Bag. Fucking boys want a stakeout for cock bag Stakeout stakeout stakeout.

This is my favourite subject. It was the year 2001 we used to set downloading, downloading porn on a 3310, which was just a load of excelled Eddie's and this life being like, Oh no, yeah, that was good. I love it. Anytime a Sauron goes off and you're doing a gig, anything you're talking about, you people, you shut that up. When we were uni ever like porn being such a new thing for us even that we once googled random words with the word porn after it just to see what came up you'd.

Probably get a bit everywhere. Yeah, cabinet porn. Amputee was the one that freaked me. Out the. Most. Oh, I said Cabinet. Porn, yeah. Somebody hasn't quite a closet up. Yeah, there'd be loads. Somebody like raiding occasional furniture? No, like politicians over in England and writing furniture. There'd be more children. Loads amputee stuff. Loads amputee stuff. Well, you haven't heard they're all out.

I when I first went to uni as well, my mom, everyone she dropped me off and she was like sad that I'd flown the nest and I told this story about like she dropped me off to uni and we were like straight away we're all like we're going to carry out. I've got a bed and run a bed worse class and my mom. In a bed home. No, but it was. It wasn't my bed. You know, you slept your mom's bed. Yeah. Cock bag. Yeah, my mommy. Got it.

No, but this is worse. But I can remember it's just a smaller dildo dildo the milk native. But my I remember my mom like being all right, son. And I was like, bye, like slam the door in her face. And years later I told that story like a family party and my mom went I was devastated. When you went to university. I was she was suddenly slept in your bed for two weeks and I was like, EW, I was like, get this one with that doctor. I thought that was the menopause.

She was just raging with the dry commoner. She was every two weeks because she couldn't get out of it. Yeah, just stopped it. You know those things in Spain you just get where you throw them at the wall and then the stick and then come down really slowly. Probably took her two weeks. Did you just roll out of it like yeah. Oh God. Are we like? Jesus, your bedroom at that time. My bedroom now is not great but like at 1718 fucking hell. When do we pavil?

That's not the same. Fuck. Looking at Pebble, at your own cat, so you say. Wow. I don't come anymore, I go. Yeah, Uni would have been great so that I do those unique gigs now. I should have should have tried harder and I could have done that did. You go to uni. I got accepted in the Colerain, went up the like the open day thing, saw where I was going to be living and all that kind of thing, and then I swear to God. Call me and halls are like fucking prisons. Oh, just. Forgot to go.

You forgot to go. I mean, I literally like didn't do anything about it. I didn't. Also, you know something? I was so like maybe and we'll see, and it felt this sort of filled out and I just never went and I must be regretted. But you'd also be up there with like, I don't mean to, I don't mean to be that this kind of person, but there's someone on people on North Coast. Have you ever noticed that don't have facial expressions?

It's a weather to win, no? But no matter what you're talking about, that's why that's bad out there. Yeah, just so you. Tell the one a million price get. Yeah. Oh, class world by Ferrari now over the moon. Yeah yeah, I saw you didn't stand up there the other week. Boy, you're quite funny. I laughed. I'm. Not just Mark McCartney. No, McCartney is different, but they're just this just, I don't know if it's just me, just feels like Protestant robots talking

to the whole time. Yeah, no, I regret not. Going there, he's going down and getting ice cream down the pier. Great. Going to lap the port. Great times. Oh, just happy new year. Yeah, I. Regret would have been great. It's do I personally I genuinely think uni like when we were going was class because it was cheaper. No, I can't imagine not being much fun. Like if you're leaving you with four year old grand worth of debt, even we saw you're not going to be able to get fucking

statement. You'd have to take it seriously. One observation we had about in those unions and just observing people is no like they seemed like, I know they are young adults, but the same way more mature than we would have been. And like even just the way people were dressed and carrying themselves were all very like don't know whether it's self-conscious but they all seem very well put together. No one looked like silly or no one looked like they were

having. Like, but you think there's an element that as well of it's a because we were doing stand up. Like if you went and saw stand up body a teen, you'd be shitting yourself the entire time in case somebody talked to you. Yeah. And anytime somebody did get spoken to, it was like, oh, fuck you all right, like. Yeah, yeah.

I'll never get over like in the Derry one being like, oh, you look like Harry Potter on steroids because the guy was muscling, had round glasses and 200 students looked at him and then looked at me like, no, he doesn't. Yeah, oh, they were. They were worried. They're worried about how he would feel about what you'd said. Yeah, no, it also, I also think that I just went, oh, I don't have any references that relate to any of these people are Yeah, like I just realised.

Yeah, I just realised I'm 20 years older than what I thought it was. Yeah. But then there's so much there's I just felt looking at them like these people are under so much pressure and everything they do, whereas back and maybe every generation thinks up back when we brought that kind of unit. Think any youngsters left, if they're under pressure, they're having the time. They're fucking lives. I would appear doesn't be deceiving. They're all doing left for the,

for the ground, for the. Ground, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Because we didn't have social media. What a fucking happy time look. Yeah. Just a 3310. When a week. Packs later daddy's. On a week for a tip, Yeah, yeah, yeah. Probably even download the second one once you see the first one. You've cost you. You had to go on top your phone up again. Yeah, that's why we all come too soon. All premature. I remember dot used to download porn. You're. Looking at me. I just assume partner.

I used to. Download porn on limewire. But you never knew what you were getting really till you got it. You couldn't be sure like sometimes you'd wait like. Fuck me as a Maroon 5 album. You would wait five days and then it'd be Soldier Boy crank that you're like, are you mother you want? Crank it down 5 days. So funny you mentioned that Maroon 5 thing.

I don't know if I've told you since subconsciously you remember it. My last day at GCSE study leave, a guy called Chris in my class went here. Do you want porn and DVD? And I was like, let me think about it. Yes. And he goes, I'll give you it burnt copies for the boys like and he goes but here for the raft just in case. Yeah, he was it was a weird side hustle here, but he goes, but

here, just watch this. And he got a piece of paper and he folded it around the desk and he wrote on the front of it just so no one will be suspicious. Maroon 5 CD album he rolled on and he's like just in case anyone catches you out you can say it's Maroon 5 and it wasn't Maroon 5I. Remember, somebody landed me a porn one time was in school and it was Pamela Anderson, Tommy Lee.

Like there were the whole movie, The whole movie thing, and that was the first time I'd ever seen an erect penis and it put me in and it's in your own, but I mean someone else's erect Venus, surely it's homily was hung like a fucking donkey. Statistically, I was just like, well, that's my life over. There's no point hearing beat. Sharon, mom and dad every night. You must have seen one some. Point now she couldn't get hard of me in the bed plus some miles rotten.

This is moving. This is moving way too fast for me. Here's the thing, he pushed me to the edge of the double down right? I can't lose. You double down your poor mother. That's probably. I've never seen the palm. I'm losing my owner for him. Daddy. Wow, I've never seen that. Pamela Anderson. Have I? It's not great like. The only sex tape I ever seen to Lisa. Yeah, that's another big weapon. Never seen it. Yeah, she was just. Spitting on the deck. Right, pull her daddy at one

point though, did she? Yeah, if you stick with the long enough. I think, yeah. She Fast forward path the ABS. There's just a lot of you know, whatever, you know whatever you're broken or you're about to book and you're like, you're waiting on and then you're like. Right. That's what it was like, right? Like, is this sex? I don't understand? Yeah. The Kim Kardashian will never seen radio. I was really like the add on. I've got nothing, Yeah. Not not naive.

Never again. The funny thing to do? Wasn't very sexy put that way. No, didn't make me want to do it. Downloading it, you always had to delete it straight after seeing you go through the download thing all the time because I couldn't hide it on the home computer. Would not the skills? I think that was on Twitter actually. I'm talking about. That's not the last.

I'm done with the first download days because you could pick a chance on the Freeview, but yeah, the time it right because then sometimes it will cut to something else you weren't. Interested. I did once get the like locked out in the Freeview cap goal, like for an extra couple of minutes, right? And I remember being like, I'm going to have to just empty myself here because this is never gonna happen again. Ruined that Wick.

But then we had, we had chip cable, Tel, so constantly, always on channel 6061. Remember doing that thing like said with me, it says we had sky and being like going on to the way to the man. I went to bed and go just look at daddy's. Yeah, sometimes you.

Euro trash made it. Euro trash sometimes you couldn't wait for midnight and you just you just settle a man of motors like you're like I'll get some near you knew it wasn't going to be as good as you were getting a porn channels, but you're getting like a tractor and a tit there. I remember the remember the Friday night Was it Friday? I was Friday that have those weird sort of softcore things in Channel 5. Yes.

Oh yeah. Yeah, I. Remember there was one that we talked about, me and my mate talked about for years after and I bumped into him about five years ago in a pub and we started talking. About it again, just like like an erotic. It was an erotic, but the plot was genuinely pretty decent.

Yeah, it was about this family that like the IT was a dad, a step moment, two kids who were like early 20s and the family was all falling out and this woman just randomly turned up to the house was like, I'm here to. It was like Mary Poppins put sex and then at the end of the movie, the family but but yeah, but yeah. But Mary Poppins should box all of them, right? The stepmom, the two kids fucking ride them all at the end of the movie. They're all like. Take a load of dildos out of her

carpet bag. Giving them a spoonful of sugar. Mason down. I wish I'd seen Mary Poppins. You never see Mary Poppins. There's no. Problems. I'll watch Germany, Jim Jiminy. I'll watch this movie, look and then I'll watch Mary Poppins, Danny gives Danny. Do see Mary Poppins to enjoy this. Movie, probably. Yeah, right. I think you need to see Mary Poppins enjoy anything. That's what I call the bill, though. I love those softcore movies, they were great, but then you couldn't time it.

You couldn't trust the time and all. You could once you heard like. Snake comes out of a basket. In many ways, yes. I didn't know about pubic shaving back then, but. There were shite though, because it was just, you know, it was just like there was no actual. It was, I saw a bit of silent with this word for for men our age, it was like we were classed from the neck to the belly button. We knew what to do with the

woman. But the first time you were confronted with the vagina, yeah, you're just like. You're like why is the camera not panning up? This needs all get blurry and music. Yeah, you just that nice. Yeah. Usually have the head mute get your mouth in. The room. Oh, no, I know what to do, Yeah. Oh fuck. I hope you hear that and you're fucking. I hope you get. Her on I'm going to be doing it all that in the car we own. Just like it's Lisa. It's a lazy hawk too. She's. Bad she's.

Still put scanned everybody. Did she? Actually scam everybody. Apparently so. Apparently so. So not a legal beef that I want with the Hawk 2 girl, but yeah. It's weird how that they've become such a big. Cultural phenomenon. Yeah, because it was like filthy and cute at the same time. But that stuff is mine. It was the very like, yeah, I'm saying I was the Indian, yeah. Like I don't. Know you don't really hawk to we need. You're going to become the Hawk 2 boy.

I've been trying for years. I don't know whether I don't know whether that was set up or not, but the idea you don't see it as much, maybe not, but like last year certainly was of like, people like young kids getting interviewed and like beer gardens when they're clearly drunk for tech talk, you know, people coming up with some most embarrassed thing you've ever done. I'm glad that was not around. Some of those people have ruined their own fucking.

One guy used to sniff his mouth knickers or something. That was Jesus. Yeah, used to sniff me. Mom's knickers never wank. And they're not a married problem. It never went No, it was I'm A Celebrity. I yeah, that that terrified the idea that that would have been around. We were younger was not but but, but I don't blame the people talking. It's the idea that you're going up in a beer garden filming people and it and I dream because of course they're not going to be in control of what

they're saying. But yes, some of it is not. How many of those people do you think just get battered? Like the guys turn up the microphone? I meant how many of them just could jump in a pub, you think? No, I think people know concept of the answers are given. Yeah. And then it goes in line. You're probably getting like you're like, what about 87 more? It's very ethical. No, I don't.

I don't like that at all. Like it's because the people are drunk and they're young as well and their mates are golden them on like that, that that could ruin someone's life. It's also, yeah, it's also that thing that a lot of people do just to get fucking likes and stuff on text because that's a currency for younger people. It's just likes and hits. Yes. So they'll, they'll, they'll burn anybody to the ground. Just a fucking 100%. Yeah, I'm with you. Thanks, Brutal.

I'm we need to see, we need to take the mic from Duane. Just live my just left just love each other hey? No phone like me. I told you earlier, I don't bring the phone to the bath. It's limited.
