Hello Sippers, and welcome to this week's episode. This start of the week's live episodes of the Tea With Me podcast here coming with you all week from 11 ideally hopefully to 1:00 through the rest of the week. Unfortunately, if you're tuned in expecting there to be a Nosferatu looking guy with hair, she and Todd is not here. He has had something happen that he just had to go and deal with
and I respect that. So I fill in in last minute and if anyone's capable to fill she and Todd's hole, says Guy. So welcome to the podcast on today. What is the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. So whatever you're doing in the world, whatever happens to you, remember the bad times and remember to love your fellow human beings. Speaking of fellow human beings that I love, I'm here with a man that's always coming at you with good intentions and honourable soul.
What's your silly be saying? Capacity and good treatment of fellow man. Yeah, that part. It's Andrew Ryan. Hello. There he is. He's here. He's on the podcast. He's in Andrew. You're looking. You're looking a wee bit. Tired. You OK? I'm very tired today. I'm not feeling I've I was. I slept in for radio this morning. I've still made it on time but I didn't get up for my regular
shower. And you, you strike me as the kind of guy who if there's a slight discrepancy in your routine, yeah, it all goes to shit. Yeah, clothes are laid out from the night before. Shoes are by the door, laces open, ready to slide in. There is no stone left unturned. Keys are in the door as well, ready to go. Car is turned around in a way so I can get a clean getaway out the out the out the house.
But this morning I slept in through three alarms and I woke up 11 minutes later than I normally would. So I had to change my routine this morning and just get out of the house. But I've made it in time, so it was all that. Routine is less of a radio presenter and more of a spy. Yeah, well, I've. Got set it ready to leave in case you get scooped at any. I was watching the night agent last night. So the night agent, the night agent, OK, what's that about?
But a American like guy, he's like an agent. Like a comedy agent or. You're like protecting the president in America. It's fictional, obviously. And it is that would encourage you to do the setup that you're. Oh, but like I try to maximise the sleep like this is a very exciting, like maximise my sleep, you know, because I don't go to sleep till half 10. Oh wow, and that's not a usual night. Like half 10s your usual go to bedtime. Yeah, well, I got a cat.
No. Oh. No. So the cats trying to train in the cat to leave me alone after a certain time. Try to like and the cat. This has been a wee bit of a bone of contention initially because you didn't give your blessing pre cut that you came home and the cat. Was there? And how did you born? Have you spawned? Yeah, we get on pretty well. They don't do much like. No. They're very independent, wouldn't be much crack out of it like. No.
Follows me around a little bit. Now it's a bit bit full on, but like, you know, you kind of go to the toilet and you'd be looking at you and you're like, all right, man, you know, I mean, there's no need for you to. I imagine you to be more of a cat person than a dog person, no? I wouldn't be an animal, but guy you know at all. Like I liked them but I wouldn't keep them. Like I have one no like but I wouldn't be actively looking for them like.
I actively trying to get rid of this cutters and. No, but like it's fine, I don't have to walk it so. Can you give it a name? I feel like it's very famous. Finbar. Finbar, Yeah, Finbar, Ryan is. In bar Ryan, the cash. Is that it's full name for the. Ryan the Cat the 1st good looking cat like yeah, yeah, we let the cat out known Lords water cats started coming to our house. No, I think my cat. No, I think he's he's probably in up a few other cats like.
Is it a dude cat? Always proper dude. Like, yeah, yeah, yeah, he's proper legend. And as he could, do you let him out at night or is he house cat? He's bought. We let him in and out. Like he goes out and then he comes in when he said then he wants to get out. Oh shit, Ragnarok and is he? Is he, is he like Megan, his mates round as he does the other cats they bring around? Do they fight?
Because that's something I, I didn't know what a cat fighting sounded like until I thought there was a genuine child being murdered in my street. Yeah, I looked out. There's 2 cats in the fence and I thought, oh, Gee, that's absolutely terrifying. Yeah. No, they doesn't fight. No, like, but I think he's laying a scent down around the house so the other cats know that that's his patch, like, you know. How do they this is just with pay.
They pay piss in your. House I don't know what the animals do like I don't know the the feeling world. Do you see when you look at it? Because I imagine you'd be a bit of an animal sociopath. I can't see you haven't much in the way of affection with a cat. I know I do. I do like to cat You stroke it, I stroke it. I give a cat about a cat catnip. I give a catnip. I've got a I've got a scratch post for he loves to scratch post. Sometimes he jumps up and lays in my chest. Consent.
Do you have consent for that? Or yeah, yeah. And then he obviously loves Julie. Julie's her mom, Julie's his mom. So it was Julie's cat though. Julie's had the cat 5-6 years and. Where was this all the time? Was. In Julie's house and then when Julie. Moved on, Julie's been left with you for how long? Couple of years. The fan bars just been keeping up the house by himself. No, he's been living with Julie's parents. All right. We took Julie, we don't took the
cat back off the parents. So they know. They knew, yet we're delighted to get rid of the cat. It's A and now she brought the cat off to our house and I was away doing gigs in England and I came back and when I came in the door she just said something to tell you, this cat hair, I was totally fine with it really like. Had you met him before? The cat. Yeah, I'd seen this. Began become acquainted. I wasn't overly interested in it because it wasn't me cat then me cat. No luck.
Yeah, because I inherited a dog before, which was a strange kind of interaction period. Catherine had a daughter, Shih Tzu, called Charlie. I didn't like him off the bat. Like off the bat. Me and him were not friends. Yeah, I went around his house and initially, to be fair, she probably hit me saying this, that he. I thought that she was a bit stinking. I thought her house stank. All up with the dog. But that's that's what I thought. But it was the dog, I think. Oh thank God.
I thought maybe she was just a stinker the first time I went around him. I guess can't this will not work because she is gross. But it was him. And then, like, initially he would just sit and stare at me and I didn't like a cut of them because, you know, we Shih tzus, are we, we poncey we things with her curtains and on. Are we just looking at me with a stupid wee face? Yeah. Fuck. Are you looking at, you smelly bastard?
Yeah, yeah, you know. And then she I felt bad for him because she'd go to work and just leave him out the back and sometimes it rained and he he doesn't like his. We can also. I was like, bring him, bring him around in my house when you're in night shift. So she'd bring him around. And the first time I had him in the house, I sat in the sofa and he just sat in the end of the sofa just looking at me. And I was like, you can't do this to me in my own house, man. Like there's got to be
boundaries here. But did he? Did he become friendly to you? It took a bit of time. That first night I brought him out into the back garden to do pee and he just stood in the garden still stare at me and I was like. Sauce in the Oatman. Yeah, but then he went what he did. Well, this is how you know he's a piece of shit move he did. He stood in the garden looking at me. I brought him in the house and he pissed my kitchen floor. So he waited. He just stood me.
I'll show you who's what's up. Brought him the floor, pissed everywhere. And then she went back in the sofa with we trailer. Well, that's why they do. Probably trying to see how you react to that. Yeah, pissed on him. How do you like that brother? And then when he goes, when he went to bed that night, I said, said her bring me bed for him. She's like, listen, he likes to sleep in in the bed or on the bottom of the bed. And I said no, no, there's boundaries.
Not in my house. Put him in the bed, the bottom of my bed. And I woke up in the middle of night. He's head but me. He jumped up in the bed and he's head but me. I was like, what the fuck are you doing? And then when I moved, they're like, get out of the way. A bit of cover opened up and like he just shot right underneath and then that was that was it. You still have a dog. He's dead, mate. Yeah, he died. I I inherited him. How did he die? I adopted my kid like I killed
him. No, he bet one of the kids he got he got too old. Now I had him for about 3 or 4 years and we were close. We were boys like you know, albeit it was initially a wee bit embarrassing. A guy of my physical appearance. You look like you should have a bulldog. Yeah, I, I, I looked a little bit weird. Or a German Shepherd like. But but he was he was weary dog to walk. But I yeah, I liked him. We bonded but got this stage.
He was a bit old as I started to go and I had to carry him upstairs and stuff to. Bed at times time then. Did you dream to the vet? Bet Holly, no, I was. I was too, too emotional. Me and my mother-in-law do it. She's heartless, said. How are you taking? Your mother-in-law is heartless. That's not really just kidding, but she'd be assorted. You'd bring her to the vet. She'd be like, can I do it? Not really let me do it.
He died. So, yeah, I was sad and I cried a lot, lot of tears and and I thought it'd be nice to as a as a present for Catherine. I thought they were, they were good presents for Julie. And you think it's going to be really like, you think it's going to be the prep, like you think she's going to love it, right. And then you give it to her and she's like, yeah, I, I got Catherine a key ring made of Charlie, not his remains or anything on, but it was like his wee face.
But it was like a soft. So the key ring was about this size and it was just his wee face. And she was like, that's the weirdest thing I've ever seen. I thought, I thought it was going to make you cry. I thought, you're going to love it. I thought you would say you're the most sentimental guy in the land. She's like, I hate this present. So you know what I did after that? Haven't bought her a single thing since. Well, how far and how long back was that?
Seven years. Jesus, You're still married. Yeah. She knows what's up. Yeah. Don't mess with me. Basically what I'm saying, if you mess with me, you'll die. So they haven't, hopefully. My cat's fine. How old Tim Bardi have many years left? Before I think four or five, he's grand. Like, yeah, Finbar, he's a good cat. Now. I got him a cat leader to trade him for a walk. I've got to say, he strike me as a kind of guy that would take a cat for all.
Yeah, but he broke the lead so. But I you know what's brilliant? Catnip. Spray catnip on the scratch to go. What is catnip? Is that what they put in pay or is that way? It's a kind of a drug like. So what does it? It's not addictive though, just gives them a bit of an endorphin release. It's brilliant. And what do you need to do it for us? Just give them a bit of crack. Bit fun. I don't understand in the shop so. You drug them and then they. Just you don't drop.
It's not a drug. It's just like a sense of smell. It gives them a real good good feeling. Or any people in the comments here want to fill me in? Exactly what can I be? Because, Andrea, you can't just say you spray something on account. It gives him a really good feeling. Yeah, that sounds like a drug to me. Sounds like a hallucinogenic cat drug. Give it to him once a week. Gives him a bit but he's hyper and stuff he enjoys. It doesn't level a motor. But he loves it. Nice, he.
Loves it. And how has he been there with you? You are Gagan, you're on your tour at the minute. You've just had a big show in the Opera House. Yeah, I did the Opera House last Thursday. How was that for you? Phenomenal. There you go guys. No, it was great and I appreciate everybody that came out and shame was there and Aaron was there. Shane's dad was there. No, it was great. Like it was great. Everybody did great and I was in good form and the audience seemed to like it so.
And how does how does it, because obviously you're a, you're a court, a Corkian. Is that the correct? Term No cork, man a Corker. No, a cork. Man. I'm a cork that. Sounds like a character Julia Donaldson would write about Cork man and Cork like so you're I know, I know. So you're from Cork. So do you obviously. Is there a place in Cork? You're like, that's, that's the place, the dream venue that you want to play?
Is that the one? So here the Opera House, obviously steeped in history, amazing venue, loads of people love to play there. How did that feel? How did the prestige? Did that feel different for you? Was was the Opera House you're a big show out of the tour? Was that the one that you were working? It's. The biggest show, yeah, in terms of numbers, like 1000 people are. It was just, it was a nice thing to happen, you know, just like velvet. Oh, that's nice.
You know, that was my third show in Belfast on the tour. I didn't 2 Mandelas and then one Opera House and I think I could have done a second Opera House, but I chose less is more and I didn't want to be, you know, over overdoing it either, you know what I mean? But the crowd were so good on the night, like in but I was you know what it was. It got to a point where I was so comfortable on stage.
I was proud of myself for being able to relax into it was before you're kind of Oh my God, this is so big. My head might go a bit. Actually it went the other way because Aaron and shame just kind of looked at me and just went just go out and talk and be fine and I went Oh yeah, it's just talking, isn't it? Yeah, just went out and talked and, you know, went out and had a great time. So I loved it. I doubt that. And I was up for radio to follow one morning as well, so.
And the storm was coming in as well, like so. So I mean everything you ever want, Yeah. I've got radio and a storm has come, yeah. Yeah, no, it was great. Like it was really good. See, if you you had, if you'd have been lucky and the literal storm had a blown the roof off the Opera House, OK, you could have just the jokes you could have made about that. Oh yeah, yeah, I know. But you know what, it was great.
It was great night. And like you've seen the show a couple of times, you know, we've been, we've been out together and stuff. So, and I performed it really well. I thought, I thought my, I performed it well. Now, look, if you know, it was great. It was, it was a good night was good. It was a kind of a nice thing to kind of have a word, which I've got, you know what I did. Well done, girl. I was good.
And you do that much because sometimes I think that's maybe in the world of certainly doing gigs and putting on shows and inter shows, you're always looking to what's next and sometimes it passes you by if you do something big.
Like that. No, I was, I was, I was in the moment like, but also I'd only kind of say it to myself, you know, I really did enjoy it. And on Friday, Julie and I, I was supposed to go to Cork on Friday to see my nephew plays, know the captain, the Cork city on the Fourteens and he was playing a girl playing there was plants. I think we're playing Saint Patrick's Athletic because of the storm, a precautions were made, You know, things were cancelled. You know what I mean?
And I said, you know what, I'm not going to drive down to caucus. You know, you're not even sure, I don't think even if there's a red traffic, amber war, red, red, red weather warning. So we stayed at home all weekend, huh? So. That's what they say. In some cases of storm damage, it can be considered an act of God. Yeah, yeah. You don't get covered. In certain insurance, yeah, that's that's different thing. But then there's there's there's clearly you believe in God.
There's not. You believe in God. This is the thing I would describe myself as agnostic. I believe you. Couldn't give a shit either way. I you know what I think the people that lose their mind over argue in one or the other need to chill out a bit. I think that if there is there. Are people that aren't really taking the divorce well? Now, and there's also people I think take a little bit too seriously, you know, and want to kill other people with different religions.
Let's never forget 80 years, you know, things like that. I think it's too far. I think people need all just chill out a bit. Don't worry about things that are, you know, the day-to-day things. Like a lot of people, I think it's stressed out about stuff not worth stressing out about. Yeah, you know, I'm actually, somebody told me recently to get therapy. Oh wow, who's that? Or somebody. And they were right. Like, no, what?
Because I get too highly strong. See, whenever you say get therapy, to me that's either said you can only it's very much like God getting therapy. I think in terms of there's people that are really into it and people. Getting therapy. Really into God. Same with therapy. Some people would say get therapy in a way that they're like you need to get therapy, Foxy. You know, you're fucking head to me. You need therapy.
That can't, you know, as an insult and other people be like me. I am worried you need therapy. There's no middle ground with that. So was it someone genuinely sent it or was an argument? No. So what happened was Julie and I went to Tenerife right on the first of all, I'm done with those type of holidays. With Julie No, I'm never going away there again. I. Can't relax, I think, I'm not going to lie. Seven days too long for a holiday for me. 4 days maximum.
After day three I want to go home like. Yeah, and what maybe? So what happened was on the holiday, we arrived in the holiday, it was great. The hotel was amazing. So this is for one day. So when you got there, you're like, this cheques up. Good, yes, we arrived on the fright on the Thursday night and it was brilliant and by the Saturday I wanted to go home. I done. I was done like. No this. I done a day by the pool, got a bit of sun. I was like back to work.
No, is there Not a bit. Maybe it's also Julie's holiday that's. The reason? Yeah, so I am. So I I would live quite, I'd be quite an anxious high, anxious guy. I don't know if you've ever noticed. I mean, I'm going to say half several. Times I'd be quite, quite anxious and quite highly strong. So I'm on holiday and I'm not very good if I have time on my hands. So if you said to me I'm going to put you in a room and you can't do anything for four
hours, I'd lose my mind. I can't just sit and still. I can't be still. I can't just sit with. I can't sit with my own thoughts. So that'll be torture for you putting in. So going on holiday, lying by the pool, sitting there enjoying the sun, can't cope. But what about it be but in 1975? Listening to all that re bringing the books, talking to Julie. I'm up and down to the bar. I'm look, I'm judging everyone in a note, checking the toilet, sort of cleaning off.
And then what happened? That's what I assume when you say so. Judy was just saying you need to. Julie. Julie was the one I couldn't. Relax. Couldn't relax. No, Julie didn't say to me. Someone else said it to me. So who? Who was this but? Tell me, tell us it's just a friend of a friend. Was it it was a guy at the pool? Was it of someone? No, but like, so I think I'm going to, I think I need to learn. I think 2025 is going to be the year that Andrew Ryan learns to
relax. Well, you heard it here first on Tea With Me. You heard Andrew Ryan. It's got. I mean, I can I be honest, as a friend, I can't see that happen. Yeah. I think there's a lot coming up in 2025. It's not going to lend itself to you. I can you relax? Oh yeah, never has there been a man that can relax more than me. Really. Oh yeah, I'm very good at relaxing. Very good at relaxing. Yeah, yeah, I can get, I can get a major chill on a heartbeat. I can sleep anywhere.
Can, yeah. Can you see like in a mood in Boston stuff? No, I have slept on a bus tour of New York City. So I've slept there.
I've slept. I actually got woken by Steward at the Open Golf because I'd fall asleep at the side and I was snoring and and the fact that when the players I've snored there, I actually fell asleep on Sunday night at the cinema watching Nosferatu. And that's a scary experience when you fall asleep in the middle of a horror film and the surround sound is so loud that it wakes you up and there's a big creepy vampire going, then your fish shit yourself.
But I can chill. I can sleep at any and I can sleep sitting up. I can sleep standing up. You name it, I can do it. You can't sleep standing up. No one can. That's impossible. I'm going to show you. You cannot sleep standing up. You're not. Standing up straight, you're. Leaving the ball? No. Yeah, Impossible. Your legs, their legs can't. You cannot fall asleep if there's pressure on your legs. There's no pressure on me when I'm chilling, brother.
No pressure, no expectations. Watch me go. Yeah, so. So could you not go to sleep? I can. I'm a brilliant sleeper now once I get. Going That's pretty relaxing then. But when I think once I get going into the sleep, I'm good at it. But what it, what is it? Is there anything about that that you think like what if you get a bit of time yourself? What's the sort of process? Do you start like the are you jitter? No a bad thoughts. And what are the thoughts you think about?
Was it because sometimes when I'm like, I think I feel. Like, I'm in the therapy session now, right? Well, listen, that's what we know. What like I find it hard to I, I, I I try to block a lot of stuff out by keeping busy. But do you ever because sometimes I'll get, if I have a bit of time, I think maybe I should be doing other things. Do you ever get that where you're like you said a minute ago, I could be doing this, I could be doing that. And then sometimes you say
yourself or you just do nothing. Chill out. Yeah. Have we minute to feel Zen in the moment? And it's OK to reward yourself, because guilt's a really terrible feeling, my friend. Oh, I don't feel guilty, but you should. You should. No, I just, I'm just highly, I just, I just can't relax and I get impatient. I'm impatient. I can't relax. I'm Aggie and I get frustrated. Like I remember many years ago I broke up with a girl because she didn't walk fast enough, right?
So you'd be walking in the street and she wouldn't be walking fast enough. I'm like, no. That's just not for you. And did you dump or did you have to stop and turn around and go like you're dumped? Or no, I just went. I can't that's, that's not a, that's not a pace I can go at like. Can I say what's not going to go in reputationally, that's not going to go well for you? When she tells her friends why you dumped her, they're going to go at something else.
That can't be because that's mental. And it's like, no. It is. No, it is. And then what on did she try to? No, I made-up another excuse quicker and it made-up another excuse. What was your other excuse? I just said I'm moving away. From you because you're too slow. I said I said I was moving. I said I was moving back to London. I've only gone over the weekend. Yeah. And then was that not weird whenever you came back like? I changed my mind when I was back in London to come back.
Are OK and then she's like, oh, have you changed your mind? I just don't still hear from her over again and listen, but like I have like in my head, I see things like I'll give you an example now and like, can I just say like me and Julie get married to share. She's brilliant, right? She does put up with a little bit. She does put up with a lot of me. Boss, you've come to an understanding. Now you know next to the badge of a locker and you have a plug sockets. We say a locker.
What do you mean? Like a bedside locker, like a table. I tell you I have a locker. Locker drawers like. But their drawers are not. A locker would indicate you've like a lock and a key and you have something. It's a locker, Dave. Can I just ask guys back, do you have a bedside table or do you have lockers? Bedside table. Bedside table, Yeah, right. Bedside table. That makes you happy, Right? OK. You're wrong. All right. OK. OK. Do you know where you have sockets?
In the wall? Yes. And in one of the sockets, I plug in an extension lead and then the four sockets in the extension lead. You know, I'll have my phone charger 1, the other one that charges me Fitbit watch, and then I have a plug for the lamp. So when I get into bed at night, I plug in the phone, turn lamp on, whatever. Sometimes she turned a switch on the wall of the socket off. And I come home and I get into bed and I'm plugging in my phone. I'm thinking my phone is charging.
It's not charging because she turned the switch off. Like that would drive me mad now. Yeah. Like there is a, there is a. Like like that would actually like that, like that would like like that would be in my head for a whole day. Like you know, I'd say to where I can you not turn the switch off. So oh, sorry about that. She hasn't done anything wrong. It's my reaction to that is the issue. She hasn't done anything wrong. I can't cope with the fact of why would you think it's a good
idea to turn the switch? Off no, do you? How far is the switch from you like I said. It's about two arm reaches right OK, an arm and 1/2. Now, do you not see when you put your like when you try to turn your light on, it's not coming on or you try to charge your phone, it's not saying charging no and you just go. Yeah, but I shouldn't have to do that because it should be on all the time. You're you're Just because the switch on the wall is down doesn't mean you're burning
electricity. No, I would be with you on that. And I do have the exact same situation. Stuff like that. I have the the the main socket, the plug switches on my side of the bed. So I have the control of ultimate power and the Doctor Octopus like I am harnessing the power of 1000 Suns by one switch. Yeah, that's me. But I I would probably just go, oh, switch back on. I wouldn't let that room my entire day, is what I'm saying.
Like I lose my mind over things that are like, you know, the way you turn on the I've gas cooker, you know, so I've did gone, you know, the gun with the flame. Yes. The lighter. Yeah. You the guy. Yeah, a lighter. So let me just say it's a bedside table and it's a lighter. It's not a locker and a gun of the flame. You are a secret agent. That's not to do. They're idiots. You know, like so you push the thing on the gas. Yes, you do the lighter and the gas goes off.
Do you know? Does that not just do it itself? There was something wrong with the starter, but so I always keep the. Guy out to look at. That I always get the the later the later next to the cooker, right. So whenever I'm cooking something like turn against, but sometimes Julie go off to later candles with the with the later, but then the later wouldn't be back in the kitchen. See, that's another thing now like that. Yeah, you know what? I can. Put things back I.
Can feel like. I think though sometimes these are anything that Julie does. It annoys you that you feel like you keep to yourself because there's a couple of things where I've got had double standards for Catherine and it frustrates me. Like I will say she has a go at me sometimes if I leave a little bit of beard hair in the in the sync of a shave. No, I don't shave this part of my beard. I just shave the tops, tidy up to give a bit of shape in my face and sometimes I'll try and
wash it away. Sometimes there'll be a little speck of hair and I'm sorry, I do that. But in the same time I could be in the shower and the shower water is rising and I take the plug out and I left out essentially enough to clone 7 Catherines out of the shower. I just throw it down the toilet, flush it away. I don't go to her. You left all this here, Same
thing at the minute. I'm, I'm nomadic in my house at the moment because I've nowhere to put my belongings because nobody loves me. So I'm putting my stuff in my bag and I'm moving bag here and there. It's fine. She goes. Can you move that bag out of the way? There's no one goes yet. I go to my room. She's 45,000 pairs of shoes and I'd have to kick them out of the way. Health and safety issue too. I just don't do it because it's not worth the argument, you
know? Now I'm saying this in front of thousands. Of people I've learned how to surrender. You should do. You have to surrender to the thought process of the partner. And see with that, would you then carry that on into your own head? No, surrender to the switch and surrender to the I. What you could do with the the the candle lighter is just go into your living room, take it off a mantelpiece. But I've done that and then solve. I don't, yeah.
But it's it's the top process of why I have to do that. Here's another trick by Two Things. That's what I do, yeah. So if you've won, you leave one in the the mantelpiece and you leave one in the drawers. Yeah. I don't have gas so I just have another lighter in case I want to set things on fire. But like like it's not she's not doing anything wrong. This is just normal living, but in But when you you know, like when you sit down, you think, So what am I getting upset about
that far? There's nothing and then. But then see when you say it to yourself, why am I getting upset about this? What is the conclusion you come to? That I'm overreacting and. There you go. But I can't can't figure it out. There may be a solution. For this, Yeah. What is it? Well firstlybetterhelp.com/T with me for temperature. Betterhelp.com. Are you trying to sell me? What do you sell me now? Therapy. What good hell? I need to get a therapist. How do you get a good therapist?
Betterhelp.com/team with me. I'm not having a zoom call and telling some whole life story before he starts making me feel good again. Have you ever been? Do you have any conditions like ADHD or anything? Have you ever been assessed for anything? No, because there's no point. What difference is that going to make to me of my life? I have it or not. This might make you. That's why I feel this way. But it doesn't make any difference. It's an excuse. Well, listen, you never know I'm
not. This is what you don't want to. Know every fucker has ADHD? No, but. You know what you could, but you could get special parking and all you would get see anything you want. To do. Oh yeah. Special parking and also see if you wanted to submit any any work to like you'd be like I'm disabled comedian Dick. No, that's fraud in the system and I wouldn't be comfortable with that. But if you have it.
No, no, I've done therapy before and like, you know, you get to the point that where you end up like taking on the therapist. Yeah. And so far you can push him like. Because then the also so like, so you do, you make stuff up when you're the. Thing no, it's annoying like I'm like you can't help me. You can't even do it on house. And then what the then does the therapist say to you? I can't help you. Name one therapist like told me we were done. Uh huh. Which is what we're done now
when I only agree. Yeah. But what would happen that instant if you said no? She'd have to keep treating me, would she? I don't know the law, I don't know what. Probably. So private practise. No, I want to go as far to say I think therapists do a great job and it's it's a great service if you require it. But what level are you pushing a therapist that they're going? I can cook the view. You're like, how did you come back from that? Did she refer you to another
therapist? Or just said, I think we've reached the end of our journey and I went being a good journey and. Then what happened? Just left. Left. You haven't been to therapy since. And do you think that's why you are the way you are? No, I'm not the way I'm not. I'm not a bad person. I just. I'm just. I never said you were. No, but you're implying. No, I'm not implying. I think, I think that I, I, I'm very impatient. I'm very, I get annoyed.
Sensory noise? I've been looking into buying the air muffs in my mountain public so I don't hear anything. Like just get noise counselling headphones. Not here, yeah. People be like, what? Ever seen? There's something about Mary? I've lost my baseball. But I mean, that'll be a good sign if you put enough. Like if you have the air muffs on. Don't disturb Andre. Yeah, that could be you. Yeah, stuff like that.
Like I don't know what I'm getting quite agitated about being a being alive like, but I've all but I've always been agitated. Well, I've always been agitated. What's the solution done? Well, so this was for your partners that should have your partners a service commode. And eight out of 10 men think they could replace their real lovers with an AI partner. No, I couldn't replace Julie. No, Julie's great. It's very funny. Hang on, you just had five minutes of complaining about.
No, I never. I never complained about what did. I've been complaining about my reaction to it. That's there's a difference there, your friendly back. But no, no, no apologise. I've been, I've been talking about she's doing nothing wrong. I can't deal with this. I'm sorry to Julie, probably. I think what's been said here has been for AI, think it's been good. I think it's been very open for me, Andrew. I think it's been a lot of
introverts. Ever drive and you see a car in front of you and you think you visualise like it kind of cuts you up and you visualise what you do to them? Yes, killing them, yeah, yeah. Yeah, like following them home and stuff. Oh yeah. I wouldn't follow them home. Like, yeah, but the fact that those talks are in my head, yeah, I worry. But that's natural thing in a car, you can feel that way.
The only problem is I visualise getting things up to a point and angle what happens when I've done this, Like what's the result of like, yeah, and knock on the door. And in that moment you have a reality that this is mental and you go, what do you say? Don't go. You fucking cut me a little bit. You just knock the door and be like. It's good morning.
Madness isn't. It yeah, it's mad, but that'll happen people like there used to be a time I, I, I vividly pictured driving my car into the sea. Yeah. Whenever Matilda was little, I used to have to, she wouldn't sleep. So I used to put her in the car really early in the morning and just drive down the the Arts Peninsula and I would listen to the song Sign of the Times, the Harry style song on repeat
because it made her go to sleep. And I just remember at one point fully visualising what it would be like just driving the car into the sea, listen to that music. And then it made me go. I actually wouldn't like the consequences of that, so I won't do it. But in a moment, there's a bit of romanticism about just imagine in the car. OK, so Kieran in the chat wants to know, Andrea, what's your best and worst airports please?
Is it Kieran Bartlett? I don't believe so, no. Kieran Fleming. Fleming the flame Meister. Best of works, best of more worst airports. And why? And why? Come on, you need to pick it up. Best serving. That's cool. Let's get to put energy. Get excited. What airport best? Best airport Belfast City. Why? What makes great airport? So fast, so easy. It's a great airport. Could do with some more shops upstairs in the departure lounge.
Good access, worst airport. And I am, I'm not going to lie, but Luton is Luton is Stansted. Stansted. Worse. Worse than Luton? I think Snow Luton is better now because they've got the new metro, but Stansted without a shadow. I would rather not travel well then go to Stansted again. It's too busy. It's a cattle Mart. I had a panic attack in the airport last time I was there. It wasn't good time. I was just busy A. Lot of people going on and then I really wanted.
Do you ever see people you're really curious about? You want to look at them more? But you know, if you look at them, they'll be like, why are you looking at me? Yeah, yeah, that was happening, Yeah. You know, as I feel like Orthodox Jewish family and I want to see what's going on. But I knew if I looked like this and I'm staring at them, they'll go problem when I was just
curious, you know? I didn't like Brandenburg in Germany, in Berlin, but I like it now because they've done a lot of it. Nice. It's too long. Too long too. Long an airport, you know Barcelona, not math. Barcelona is a wonderful airport. Wonderful. Well, here's there's differences between the efficiency of going through an airport and there's also which airport is the best amenities like which one could you be like you could sit there if you're having a a break
between flights. Where do you have South? Korea, Seoul. Seoul airport is brilliant. Yeah, Dubai is just on another level. Yeah, Dubai. You have there. Anything me? See, I wouldn't go to Dubai. I think it's like a fair. I like the wee bit of heart about a place, you know what I mean? I feel it's all all fake, all just put together. There's no soul to it. You know history. Yeah, because Dubai and Bangor like massive, massive cultural differences. There, there's a cultural hub.
Oh, brilliant, yeah, fantastic spot. Yeah, that supermarket that has that's not open. Mad that. What supermarkets? Not open the place that's shut down. It's not in there, Andrew, don't. It's a real culture banger. Banger. That's that's cultural. Your banger has best beaches in right down the peninsula. Yeah, in the country.
Yeah, I've been to West Cork. No, wouldn't want to admit because you get people like you that are ignorant, but other people's culture and I feel that's why really hurtful. All right. And the supermarket shot everywhere, not just Bangor, right? Any other questions in the in the is it a chopper we call it today or is it a comments? Yeah, Chopper. Yeah, people have been asking that these watch the Paul Huge fight on Saturday night. I saw extended highlights.
I thought it did brilliant, you know. Did you see it? I didn't watched it after the fact. Talking warriors. He's excellent, he is. Brilliant. I hope now he can get a rematch. I mean, I don't know what the contract says, but if you what might if he didn't bat for me some crack? See if I was an amagamite of I wouldn't be rushing to fight him again. You can because, because he's too. Good, because he is rushed. Yeah, he is very good. I think a lot of people probably underestimated him.
I think he's a great fighter with a load of potential and it was a big shout out to Paul himself. Great performance. Yeah, friend of the show. Yeah, we'll, we'll try and get him on a call later this week, but. Nice to try and. Get him on. Oh yeah. God, it's poor lad. Yeah, he refereed the box and didn't. You're not refereed. He judged. The box. That's right. So do you have B for them? Because he didn't give you the nod. Yeah, he didn't give me that. But no, I respect him, you know,
respect him now. But you were like, yeah, that was the right decision. Yeah, I think the head but kind of slowed the fight down a bit and then I stopped a little bit. So I think he he said himself, didn't he, that he should have pushed a bit more. I mean like, I like, as if I know anything about professional boxing like. Yeah, but it was mixed martial arts. And you? Know what I mean? Yeah, but it was, it was, it was a great fight, though. It was very entertaining. Yeah, Yeah.
Any other poor father comments? Jimmy wants to know what are your favourite places to gig in Ireland? Yeah, or you just on the terrace, you'll have a good a good take on that. So your favourite place of the gag in the whole island of Ireland, or would you say banger? It was my first phone. I don't really have a favourite place, but they've all been good. I mean, I must admit they're all really good. The surprising ones, like I did all my 10 days ago to my second night in dailies.
Wild. Yeah, Oh my Daily is a great spot. Brilliant spot. Obviously Belfast is like, yeah, I think like they're all good, man. Here's an easier one for you. I think it's easier to go where the place that you don't like or any place you're like, God, no, forget about that. I won't. I won't return there in a heartbeat. I have never performed in Limerick so the first time I got booked to go do a show in Limerick I drove down to do it and nobody turned up.
Still got paid. Was it was it one of your gigs or was? IT club, gig club and then I got load of requests online to come to Limerick on my tour so I put the show on sale in Limerick. I sold three tickets so I just cancelled it. So I've made a decision. I'm going to go through my whole career without performing in Limerick. You know what? I I love that. See, I love people complete spite. I love people that are motivated from spite. I think there's no great
motivation. I have a list of people in my life that I'm going to try and get to the end of my life without seeing these people ever again. OK. And do that. Oh yeah. 4 comics, 4 comedians on it. Yeah. Oh, I think I know a couple, but I would like to know the other. Couple so let's see how so if I can avoid these comedians for the rest of. My and what would your, your approach be if you were to if you were to be in their company or you ought to Bill, would you
just say no? I don't know yet still yet that but what two of them are in America? Good. They're bored Americans, by the way. All right. OK, so they're not Irish. Now, do you know both these people? Are you just? Yeah, I've worked with them before. Right. OK. Because it might, you might just be like, listen. One is in England and the other one I think is in England.
Yeah, we're. Not going to give any names, but let's just say Andrew really enjoyed what Will Smith did at the Oscars. You know what? I, I don't want to get into this because they don't want to be disrespectful to any place. But fuck them, Donald. For gigs. Really. Yeah. And you know what? Stick our mind in there, too. In the marketplace. Now. Now, prove me wrong or my. I put my arms open to you. You're a beautiful, a beautiful city with beautiful architecture and history and soul.
But your gigs in the marketplace have stunk for me. But. Why? Why have they stunk? It's the weird layout and I think they're very I'm in my head. This is probably wrong thinking, but I feel like they're very free P. What's the free P Presbyterian. I get that vibe, but I'm going. To so hold on a second, is there a Presbyterian and then Free Presbyterian? That's like the pay as they crew, you know the. Pay is the other Presbyterians not free or they like now?
They're, they're held, Captain. Yeah, they're they're they're slave Presbyterian. So one second what's Presbyterian and Free Press? What's the difference? Free Presbyterian was not the church. It was formed by EM Paisley in 19 and 5th. Was it in the 50s? He for now, 56 Am I right and saying if I'm right here, I'm going to be so proud of myself. What is Free Presbyterian, John? Free Catholic. Yeah. And they but there's so many when Wendy former or was that in the 60s or 70s free pace I.
Think it might be in the 50s. Because wasn't the? 51. 5151 they go Free Presbyterian Church and but wasn't wasn't the initial Protestant was Henry Louis Henry the he was the 1st he brought in Protestant doesn't need a. Well, it was not like Luther was the 1st. Louvre. But no, he he got all for it. And then he brought. He was. Yeah, he wanted to get divorcement or. What? Yeah. If ever there's a guy, it's my kind of guy. Henry the Eighth. Well, he killed all his wives,
didn't. He, he just no, not all I'm killing. The thing he only killed? 2 year old, the couple. But what I'm bullying did he kill him till he kill her? No, she was only one to survive. Wasn't you I? Don't know. He divorced a couple, beheaded a couple. And there was who was the one that was stinking? Anna Cleaves. He was like, oh, she's bogging. He's like, because back in the day they don't have like
pictures like they do nowadays. Someone had sent them a painting of this woman and he was like, for I'll give me a bit of that. And then when she came over and didn't match the painting, he was like, oh, you're bogging. Divorced her. Who was that? The stinking 1? I think if you just Google. Maybe Anna Cleaves divorced. Bogging life. Killed. I'm Boleyn. I killed her. Yeah, yeah, and Catherine hard, poor and. Catherine Hard, Yeah. Would you? Tell my wife. Don't know.
I wouldn't, Andrew. No, no, Joe, what I was thinking if I wasn't, if I was single, I would have I was going to when I was single, I was going to apply to go and marry the first sight. Uh huh. You know when you go on and you Oh yes, six weeks experiment. Can I say I? Could I think I do all right now? I don't think so. What in what way would you do all? Right. I don't, I think if ever there was a show you would struggle on bring. The a game like get married for
six weeks, see if it works. I'd enjoy that. Then what happens if they're like, right, you need to go and sit in this hotel room for half an hour and you just be freaking climbing the walls? You quit climbing the walls. I can't relax. But it's just I can't relax for a long period of time. And what do you think like Dennis is nothing. How do you think they who do you? What sort of person do you think they would pair you with? Because I'm married for sight.
Apparently they try to make everything like statistically. Probably pair me with someone very sensible, you know, a bit of a leader, probably somebody that's a good leader. But do you think you need somebody that's different to you like a wee bit? More yeah, like Julie's very strong. Julie's very, you know, she's very strong person, so. She's good fun too, Julie. She's great fun, Julie. So that's what like I. Feel like if you got somebody that was a bit too serious, you.
Yeah, Julie's very strong and she's great fun, but she's also very serious what she has to be. And I like that you can, you can flick it like a switch. You know, some people like, aren't like that, aren't like that at all. You know, I'd be good at it. Like I'd love the arguments and stuff. I want to say this. Oh my, the first sight. Body language is very important. I'd be very open. I'm absolutely exhausted here, by the way, so I'm just very tired to that.
Well, yes. But you know, I think that's, yes, the worst place you go. Safe, basically. Fuck Limerick. That's just no, that's insane. Can't get it right. So I've never done it and I. Never be there I'll. Let you know what I've decided. Like Shane, Chris Kent. Chris Kent is secretly trolling me. He's added seven shows in Dolan on his latest tour. I think Chris kind of is starting to troll me. I'm texting go. When will this end? Never right any more question in
the chop bar. From the crew wants to know how is the flight simulator going? Flight simulator going is good so. Can I say I feel like you've really stalled in Flight Simulator? I used to. I thought for a while it was really, I mean, these are all aeroplane ponz. I thought you were flying for a bit, but now I feel, I feel like it's taken aback. Burners OK. So my next door neighbour has the exact same flight simulator
that I want in my house. Oh no. I found this out so I've been going into his house to use the. Flight Simulator. Who knows? It lets me in like. So that must have been a big eagle thing, surely? Oh, I lost my fucking mind. So his son is a pilot in the RAF. So his son is basically. Is your idol his? Son is my idol. Yeah, so his son has copying and paid, copying and pasting the copy and paste what he has, and he's putting it into my house, but he's to buy all the parts.
So I've been flying on the flight simulator but it's not the one under my stairs. Oh yes. Where's this guy's? Where's his in the house? Does he have? This one is in the spare room. Because if you could get a wee door between, that would be unbelievable. So I've I've been going in so I did a nice trip to Cork there recently and. Let you tell Julian in France what you're up to. Because I'm just going flying. I just. Got kind of got. Bag and all I just got.
Any chance I could go on the plane? And he's like, come on, I don't. Know what happens if he's mid flight? Can he put it all on his? Son lives in England, like, so you just go in and he sets it up, feel like, you know, so the dad's there like. I thought it was the dad simulator. No sons, right? Son lives in England, he's a
pilot. So yeah. So I'm getting that set up into my house, but while I'm while I'm getting the stuff because the guy is helping me in England. How old is the dad next door? 50. He's a bit older, he could have just stolen bits. But I've offered to buy his simulator. I said just give, give me that. And what's he said because mine answer? Yeah, so I said like, whatever you want for, I'll give you a bit more. Just lift it up and bring it into my house and give it to me like.
I'm just, well, you know, you should do. Actually you should get a WE conveyor belt and just set it on like you're waiting for your. Bags. Yeah, yeah, I'm very excited about it. No, but we're getting there with it. But but it's costing a lot of money. Yeah, but if someone else sourcing the part. So just relax. I'm still flying.
Right, OK. And do you feel like you've made progress from we had the live to you and me in the wall garden last year when we were talking about it seemed like it was a very eminent thing, but I feel like we're a year on and there's no progress. I feel like you're, you're focusing on all get marginal and you're kind of putting your. I'm still flying in a flight similar dev. OK. How fast are you doing? Every couple of. What about your golf? Golf is back. Just back this.
Once more, what's because I want to see you flying as often as you're playing golf. Golf is the most important thing out of the flight. Similar golf is it's my relationship is important. I have an idea, an idea. You can take it or you can leave it. You could get one of those golf simulators too, in another room. You know, it's like the big screen. And I guess you could, you could live in a whole fantasy world you could be in. You could fly. Fly to Hawaii to. Hawaii and play.
Get off. The plane and then log into Hawaii Golf Course. And then go that hop back on yeah, it just take go to Augusta across the across the water Big 12 hour flight to Georgia. Yeah, take away how far, settle yourself, play Augusta back in the flight. Yeah, Yeah. Now you're going to have to dedicate probably 2-3 days of your life for that. That's one experience. We'll do that. Let's do that and get it on the Patriot. Yeah. No, no, no.
So we're getting there. But you, one thing you've got to understand about me is I'm a slow progress guy. I'll tell you I'm doing something, but the progress would be slow like. But then this is what you need. You need to make that, you know, when you're feeling like I can't relax, I need to be doing things. The thing you should be doing is building your golf and. No. The golf I want the golf. No. I'm back on the golf. No. The golf's not for you anymore, Andrew. It's for us.
We want you to set up the golf simulator. No, no travel. We want to see that we want to see it. We want. To see, I'm not going to know how much, Golf said. It's like 20 grand. We're sorry guys, Patreon. We'll get Andrew the golf simulator. No way. What else could you simulate next? Happiness. If even if it does exist. I mean if you think happiness exists. Yes, because I feel happy. You see, I don't think I think I think we lie into ourselves.
I think every day. Every day is a journey through your own head. Wow am I but you, you must. You look at you have a big smile on your face now. You must feel happy sometimes. I'm very happy, but I question it. I question it. Question. What is if if I you say I'm sitting down talking to you like on a podcast and I asked you
what what makes Andrey happy? If you're a list like if you strike me as a kind of guy that wouldn't sit down and open up a journal and do gratitude, you strike me as a guy that wouldn't do his gratitude journal. What? What makes Andrey happy? To be left alone. But then when you're left alone. I can't be alone. So that's not happy. So that's not happy. And see, when you're simulating, you're flying.
I think what makes me happy is knowing that I I've made good decisions about the things that I can control. You're supposed to just say something like I know Chinese food or like watching mine, you know? You know something. Not that I can't cope with the depth you've asked me so far. Do I believe in God? Is God real? It's habitual. I don't know if anything's real anymore. You know what I know? I love carbonara. That makes me happy. A big plan.
Yeah, you see, no, I wouldn't judge my head space like that, but. You need you need to have a little happy wins. You know what else makes me happy? The plumber came to my house today. That made me happy. I was good. Yeah, it was great. You know what? I have a guy coming tonight to put up shelves in my house, so that's going to make me Julie happy because we're getting shelves. There you go. Shelving makes you happy. Yeah, I name of a painter coming in February to paint the hall.
Good man yourself not makes you happy. But, but I don't think you can be truly happy. I think you can be truly happy, but it's not it's it's, it's finite. You can be truly happy for a period and then a dip central you know I. Think. Any more questions? I think all right, go on. You're getting. You're getting too deep in freaking. Right, sorry. Michael, also know what's the longest flight you've ever done on a simulator? Oh. Only like an hour. Oh, Percy, we want. Long haul.
We want. Long I only want take off in London. That's where the action is. You could do full amazing role plays in your life by the way. You could fly off like you could fly to Prague. You could go out there, you could make Julie cookies straight for you. Go to Amsterdam, get a wee red light in your living room. You could do the world you all through the simulator. Yeah, it'll be, I'll be a great experience. You come up and you come up and fly, will you? Yeah. See me? I will.
I will copilot a flight with you. You have to talk me through it, but I'm willing to do it. Good stuff. I'll do the announcements and all. They'll be coming through here with some some frequencies. Andrew, don't do it. Don't do it. Any more questions? P dog wants to know how did Andrew enjoy Dubai? He's. Going to go. I don't know if I really enjoyed it per SE. I don't know if I can feel it. I really enjoyed it at a great time. Man, you know.
Although I was very annoyed when we arrived, Willie and Shane were in executive rooms and I wasn't. I was just in the standard room. They were they were in like an, oh, we got you an executive room and I went all brilliant and never like you're just in a standard room, Mr. Ryan. I went why the why the change? So I look at chain of the why mine standard, like anyway, just fucking take the room. So I took the room and you know what had an absolute ball, man,
Was there a big difference? I just say Willie Thompson and Shane Todd, great crack on the road. Great, you're good. Crack on the road as well then. But like we all need to do something where we all go on the road. Like I want to set up a gig across Europe where we get 5 cities and five nights and call it the Irish invasion and we bring an MC and three acts. Four of us go to four big cities in Europe. I'll call it the Irish invasion and. I'd like to do that that. 'D be great crack.
Be a lot of fun do. You know what I mean? So and yeah, Dubai was brilliant that as we could crack and it's all about the company, you know, Like I was seeing Julie's friends were living over there, Julie's cousin. So I went out when they all I didn't go to Eminem wouldn't interest me now. Yeah. You know what I prefer to do by human rights, man? Any other questions? You know your phone? Yeah. Who made that? China. OK, human rights, yeah.
Yeah, but not in China. Made by Chinese guys in Belfast. Those guys got out. Timothy wants to know would the comedians ever do a Bake Off or Master Chef or. Why did you mix it up and have a master beat off? What did you? Be I'd be Greg Wallace. Just touch everyone up. Allegedly. Allegedly, by the way. Allegedly he's great man and so. I'd do a Bake Off. What would you cook? I do I do a meringue. Cheesecake make no bake cheesecake. I'd be the anti Bake Off.
What is the other show? Master Chef. Master Chef Yeah, it'd be all right. I think it'd be good fun. But I mean, I don't know what like you got to think what would do well for people to watch to, wouldn't you? You'd need to be hard to produce that sort of show. You can really do it live. Did you no no so cost cost the money like I still maintain we should do 24 hour Big Brother host or something. Yeah, because that's easy to set up. Yeah. OK, done.
Great energy. Yeah, but no, no, no. If there was any other show, if there was any other show, what would you want to do? Like I joked on my own podcast last week that I do a naked attraction with comedians. No, yeah, I'd win that. I just love to see all the redex. And all I'd win it because I've got, I've tattooed now I've got tattoo, you know. That's right. I'd win that, I'd win they Can attractions show off with tattoos? And I don't know, you can't win. They can attract you.
Just go on a date with. Somebody. Oh, dear. All right, I'll tell. You I don't know. That's not a cock judging contest. He's no I would. Do you know what I'd love to do? I want to do the quiz shows. Oh, a chase or something? I'd love to do with Chase. Like the millionaire, how did you guys feel he wants to be a millionaire when he's did it on on the Patreon? Was it a success? Was it a what the what you just reckon was? Yeah, it went well, yeah. I think it was good. A chase would be.
Good. I really want to be a guest chasers on a quiz shows. I'm sick of fucking yeah host and quizzes on the radio and like I want to be the guest. Like I want to be the guy trying to get the money like. But you know, a few people have moved. Make for good chasers, you know, obviously, I know for Neil Delamere said he wants to be a chaser. Get him to bitch. You could. Do he's a very smart man, Neil. Yeah, he's an entire. He's really intelligent and I'd like annoyingly intelligent.
Because he know about 90s Premier League? I don't think so. He asked me about 90s Premier League. Who was the bald goalkeeper for North City in 1996? Gone. Correct. Thank you. That's impressive. Thank you Who? Let me say Stewart, who writer left back for a Blackburn, won the league, believe it or not. Three my my cousin on the League of Blackburn. Yes, but his name? Sure. Ripley. No, I don't know. Sure. Ripley. Yeah, yeah. He wasn't right back. He's a right winger.
All right, he's on the writer. No, no, he was a right winger. Stuart Ripley went to Cliff Middlesbrough as well. I. Told you was right. OK, let me think. Big ginger fella played from Middlesbrough in the 90s. Midfielder Big Fell who? Hold on, Hold on, big ginger Phil. Yeah, what's what's his surname? In the 90s, From Middlesbrough in the 90s. It's something you would do if you didn't get to go to work for two days. It is stop. Stamp, Phil.
Stamp Yeah, yes. Phil Stamp and oh, and who scored the the goal for Chelsea in the FA Cup final? The fact was at the time, the fastest goal in. The Berkeley Matteo, Correct. Who scored the other goal and they won two nil. Time, Franco Zola. I don't know was it sola don't. Know I'm going to go viali but I. Feel like Ovi Ali frankly, if you had a password. In the Asian look, RIP. He's like a man. Yeah. Cancer, wasn't it? Yeah. I don't know who died as well. Toto Scotchy.
Scotchy. He died recently. As well that's. A shame all of those guys from the 80s and 90s are all going now. You think there's some sort of Irish curse in those guys? That's why they're. No, I just think time's catching up with them. Any other questions? We'll, we'll get the wrapping up soon. The last couple of questions. Karen wants to know what clubs does air I have in his bag. Callaway forged irons. Forged an iron can I have. A Callaway forged iron.
I have 456789 iron pitch and wage sixty degree 56 degree 50° and I'm saying you get a new really good Callaway Potter. My driver is Cobra. My is that Callaway. Is that a tour ready bag like or is there too many clubs there? Tour it with like I'm a tour ready bag, but I'm and I my godfall, I play with. It's a Callaway Chrome soft there. You. Go Karen wants to know is Dave Bosnia about the return of Trump. You know what? A joking aside, no, I'm. What you think of Trump again?
I think it's concerning. I think the banter's gone too far. I think first of all, on a serious note, America voted for this to know what they were getting. So that's their fucking decision. It's none of our business, really. Secondly, I fucking despise the man. I hate him. Yeah, I hate his family. I hate his kids.
I hate his businesses, I hate his abuse, I hate his hair, I hate his policies, I hate his his son Baron is a little fucked heart that wouldn't last two minutes on a minor football team. His other kids are all fucking narcissistic bullies who feel that the world owes them something when actually they're just complete hypocrites who wouldn't last five minutes in the real world.
You can see right through their eyes because of the vacant lack of parenting that they've ever had to their father's been. Spent his whole time growing, lying about his businesses when the only reason he wants to become president is because he's got such a hateful mind that his mother never loved him enough. And his mother was Scottish as well and she probably delighted he fucked off to America and never came back. And but I wish America well. Did you want to come out of the
Win Do? You appreciate his golf game or. No, he's I just fucking hate him. I just hate the gun. And I had a lot of I had a lot of politic politicians on the left wing as well and people in the right. It's not like, oh, I'm just a liberal. Like I hate people on all sides, but like I just like, I don't like Jeremy Corbyn because Jeremy Carver isn't like can't make a decision. He's like fucking Latvia or something, you know, like just non the scripts. So.
Just politics isn't your game. No, I just think some of them are done absolute. You know, you know, you know. Can I just tell you when there was research done be.
Careful at hand in this. There was research done in America why people were voting for Donald Trump, and the reason they were voting for them is because they want people that can make decisions and get things done where it seems like somebody like a Biden or a Barack Obama, things take too long and where this guy's gone, We're doing this and we're doing it now. OK. So obviously, mass deputy, deeper mass deportations, we're doing it and we're doing it now. And you see people going back on
flights, right? And people are actually going, we like this because something's getting done. No, I don't agree with it, you know, because it's going to be a lot of virus getting kicked out. And you know what, fuck it, come back home. You know what I mean? If you have to come back home, come back home, that's fine. But people like people that can make decisions and actually get stuff out whether you agree with what the person is doing, not
something. So if I went into politics, like I would be like, I'll be your decision guy. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? I'll make decisions. What sort of decisions you what are some Andrew Ryan policies? Is there anything you would go when you would be on your mandate? First thing first, adult only cafes. Well that's then putting people like me out. I've got to take my kids all cafes. Do you need to go to the the Kiddie Cafe? I don't talk about dogs. They're loading the cafe.
Dogs allowed in, yeah. They're not adults like. Dogs. Dogs alone there's. A dog as an adult. But I also think to an extent, people shouldn't bring dogs in there. Just because you can't doesn't mean you. Should, if you get, if you get caught drunk driving, three years in prison. OK. Would you bring back the death penalty? No, because nobody should. No state should have the right over someone's life, irrespective of what crimes have done. OK.
And what would you, what would your response be to Penal Reform? Would you be like in the restorative justice or would you be into the more sort of punitive measures? Start off a punitive, see how they react. But do you think that people can be rehabilitated or you think they should still do their their time? I think if you get sentenced to two years in prison, you should do two years in prison. Yeah, and people say like, you get time off for good behaviour.
Well, what bad behaviour can I do in this fucking 6 by 10 satellite? I can do plenty of bad behaviour. Let me show you, you know. What I mean, I also think that I would increase taxes, OK, everybody say if you're, if you're in the 20% tax bracket, your tax will go up to 22 1/2%. And that 2 1/2 percent is guaranteed to go to increase the wages of healthcare workers to make healthcare more of an attractive job.
And then what you do is you put a care assistant on 40 grand a year and watch everybody flock to those jobs, which means people get better care. So more tax, more wages. That's very good. And also people who are on minimum wage are allowed to abuse members of the Coast public. I would I would like to see.
I vote for that. If you put up with, if you're on minimum wage and a customer's route when you're going to buy a coffee and staff members on minimum wage and the customers, the customers route to the staff member, staff member has a legal obligation where they can say, you know what, just fuck off. I'm a minimum wage, I've got extra rights. I can be rude, I like that. Any other question? You previously talked about running for. Yes, I have is. This maybe the start of your.
I actually would run, I'd love to, I would be interested in it maybe like, and I wouldn't like if I ran as I think you have to run as a gift to run as a counsellor for no, you know, you can run as an MGS, as an independent or would you join a party that's three grand to run and I need what, 20 signatures? So what I would do is I get all you guys to help me and then we'll run an actual serious campaign. But like, you know, I would be very pro school integration.
I would be a increase the wages for the NHS by increasing taxes and. Would you, would you give any tax breaks to sort of them the middle working classes of people because I think they're the ones that always get hit? The other ones always get hit. Yeah, yeah. Well, I would probably get try and get people to pay more tax first of all and then I would try and invest in in deprived areas more to get to break the cycle of poverty.
I would incur if I was on your team, I'd be trying to encourage people to to work because I feel like that's the thing that the current way the benefit system is sometimes you can get penalised if you take away 16 hour job, you know your benefits get cut. I would still have it whereby your. Threshold is to work. Money and your benefits. You're maybe getting a little bit more overall, but less benefits.
You've got to get people to wake up in the morning to know that they're going to be protected and supported respective of what they do, but also have to get to get to take the pistol going to be screwed, yeah. So you'd be a wee bit of it, you'd be a little bit of a dictator. I wouldn't know What David what? A little bit, little bit. No, I wouldn't what I'm saying because. What you're saying is if they take the piss, which means if
they don't agree. With you, no one to just take the pisses and commit crime or stuff like that. What sort of things would you consider consider a crime? Would you decriminalise certain things? Like what about your approach on drugs? We'll see. I would legalise some drugs to take to to get back resources we deserve everywhere.
Now let's legalise it. Let's take away the taxes, the surprise about it. Let's take away the oh, look at me and smoke and we learned like let's normalise you normalise it. The excitement's gone. People then don't think they're being cool and when something's normal. So I would tax it. Do what to do in America have a couple of shops where you can sell it be over 80. Let's just like Viagra weed, just sell it. Together I'll be counterproductive. No, but you know what I mean.
Just do do. It like this you'd be hard at the base but soft. But you'd be happy to be very happy. Like stuff like that. Like. Any any others? No, everyone's just happy to vote for Andrew. Everyone's vote for what you call your party. I don't know, like the the good faith party or something, but I actually like, you know what, as an, as an experiment, and I would love to run as an as an MLA, but approach somebody to document it for a documentary, but actually take it seriously.
Like I know Mike Nets, but you know, the health secretary, I remember saying something to what I said, whatever you do, man, just pay them because you've got to pay them first. And if you've got happy staff and people, people want to work in that industry and that industry is attracting people in because you're paying them, then the more staff you have, the more you can find solutions. You'll never fix the hazard. I hate all these politicians Go, we're going to fix the health
service bullshit. Tell me time when it was, tell me, tell me, tell me when it was perfect. Tell me when it was fixed. And that's never been fixed. You can't fix it. What you can do is you can make it better by getting the right people in and slowly making progress. Would you get there? Any health professionals in to help you? With that, I would probably ask, you know.
You wrap up a calories questionnaire and spreadsheet you'd love for what you do. Turn around to them and say get doctors, get nurses, get care assistants, get cleaners in and say, right, what do you need in your department? Well, we need staff, right? What's what's stopping people from joining that money, right? Money. Everything comes out to money. Give them the fucking money. You know another thing I don't like about the NHS may point out any doctors less than the way you speak.
The nurses and staff. Yeah, rude. Be the poor polite. Sort your bedside manner so. Your bedside manner. This is my thing, I'm going to send this. You are going to be allowed buy and sell politicians like footballers. OK, So if we go or Finland, they've got really good health service, right? Let's put a bid in for the Finland health minister, man or woman, whoever it is. Five year deal, come over, you got five years to help, to help. I mean we buy and sell them like footballers.
So like you get a French guy in to do tourism or something if they've got if our people can't do it, get fucking by him. Get him in like Elon Musk an American. No, like he's advising the but Elon Musk in America's advising Trump. You know Musk is South African like. Yeah. But I mean, we'll see how that plant pans out. We'll see how that. Goes not going to go well. Listen. But we'll see. We'll see. I think my. Cryptos up there you. Go, guys. Is it down to that? This is.
For Andrew Ryan, number one man, never listen to your ears for all people. Did you just do it a wee bit of like reggae there? Yeah. I've been a little monster around on a big man in the house, son. But I'll tell you something, if I got if I got elected as an MLA installment, my speeches be fucking hilarious like. Yeah, up, Adam Put to be coming down on you. Can you imagine the first Southerner in a in its instalment? Well, I mean, said champagne, my friends.
