The Public Nuisance. Sean McCullough, welcome to this episode of the Public Nuisance Podcast coming to you from Killin Studios, my sponsor, where you can get all your content done from photoshoots, podcasts right here, set up personally for you. Today we'll have Conor Quinn. What's happening? Content creator, that's it. Would that be the right?
Speaker 2:would that be the right?
Speaker 1:Terminology Terminology of what?
Speaker 2:you do A wee bit of everything. A wee bit of everything, fingers crossed.
Speaker 1:Multi-talented Aye, doing the multi-talented with a camera. Do you use a camera Like a? Because you do like weddings and all too, don't you?
Speaker 2:I do all that. I do everything.
Speaker 1:Podcast fitness shoots, videos what one do you enjoy doing the most?
Speaker 2:mate, I like the range. Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1:it's just like not the shopping centre. The range, the range over shopping being trolley, just fucking range, is like fucking Walmart, just fucking ringing. There's even a. Keep the range out anyway, ben Trale, just fucking Rage is like fucking Walmart.
Speaker 2:In America, just fucking ringing it. There's even a Rage at it. Anyway, keeps them all sponsored.
Speaker 1:Keep them in mind.
Speaker 2:We shared out the range I'll sponsor my next podcast.
Speaker 1:So fucking they. There's an Iceland and they're ringing it. I know it's like Get in there. It's like TV going to the range, your missus. It's like fucking Going to the Primark. I know, mate, it's madness, but they were trying to Find anything in it. It's just mad. It's coloured.
Speaker 2:Garden centre.
Speaker 1:And then there's all Clothes Like, there's All sorts of shit Furniture for your house, and there's a shopping, there's a supermarket In it. I ain't going, I don't even know where to start here. What am I in here for? There's no reason why I would ever go to the range Unless like, because if you're looking for furniture, you'll go to a furniture shop. No, I've never seen like people who go to a Italian restaurant and order steak, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1:Why does he even serve them steak for us To serve your bonnets the pizza and get people out.
Speaker 2:They want a steak where the steak is. I know, I know you can't win. I do all sorts but I like the range, but not the Shelton Centre.
Speaker 1:But doing like wands and doing something different see if I've done the same thing every week, yeah, because it's near enough, like you're happy, near enough to have like a stale aye, and then each wad becomes like the same type of Style isn't it?
Speaker 2:And then you get bored. So then you start just Doing it like the same. You'll do it the same way, or it'll just become Like a shift, do you know what I mean? I think that like when, if you have a couple Like months off, or if you're doing Like something during the week, like even like fitness or like for business, then you'll have like A wee time to like doing what you're doing. But I think I like doing everything, like did you do it like?
Speaker 1:did you do that in school like media studies name and all the camera now, and all the university, whatever it is. They can't really hang on good at and they just art like that.
Speaker 2:I probably more failed a levels and gcses, but the only ones I passed was like art and then done politics. Couldn't tell you anything about politics.
Speaker 1:I gotta you and that thing I'm lazy at my storm rate.
Speaker 2:I've just run the bit with a camera, my claim to fame is that the lawyer mayor was in my class. I was like so it wasn't the teacher's fault, I just didn't have a clue. But I don't like all that stuff. And then I was shit at it. And then, because I was always good at art, they let me repeat images.
Speaker 2:And then I know what the tension of doing photography and then got into like our college to do you like a foundation year, so I always thought I was gonna be painting or make sculptor. Yeah, I got and then end up doing photography and I think your focus is sweet, they actually like us. And then went into the photography degree the carry work or something you know how to work a camera and then just done that. And then they changed my course to photography with video. So see, after that, like I was just like I'm not going to be one of these dicks who, like you know, like no offense to anybody, but gets a degree and don't use it. I was like I'm making sure I make this a new job. So I done that, mate. And then just gradually fell into like yeah, it's probably.
Speaker 2:It was probably a good time as well with social media growing so big now, I think because so many people do like obviously raw content on their phones. Do you know what I mean? See when then you get somebody in to do actual content it sits better. But I always say, like raw content, you have to mix it up, make it more diverse for your audience and stuff. But I just sort of like I never really have a plan, I just fucking go with it, I just go with it.
Speaker 1:Everyone's near enough. A lot of places are near enough doing the same thing, aren't they like? So it's like I think, most especially in different areas, but I always feel like like most especially when it comes to like gyms and stuff. Obviously, we've got our own gym and Ryan does our all our videography and photography in our gym, and that's why I'm here today on this and his studios, living it up but most, most gyms and stuff do the same.
Speaker 2:Stuff probably comes from their mentor, wherever they get it from so it's like I always say it like I had like a business mentor as well and I like it worked and I got me to like where I was and stuff. But then after you need to sort of like I think, like working it into, like moulding it into what works for you because trains people jump on a train like fuck yeah, exactly, that's exactly.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you have to have it a wee bit like your own style you have to have your own wee style, your own twisted, because I don't know what you're interested in.
Speaker 2:I think like last year was a big thing, was like most gyms were doing, was like a comical sort of thing to grab people, like to hook, to grab people's attention, and I think this year it's probably like more raw stuff. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, but I think I like the idea of like jumping in and out of like sort of industries which people probably like. It's Wait a minute, that's it and you've got your podcast.
Speaker 1:Was that something that you Because obviously you're behind a camera, right? Aye, it's very, very rarely. You see someone who's behind a camera then put themselves in front of their own camera, which you do, which is fucking brilliant Like there's very few people I would know do that and then you do all your own editing and all for that.
Speaker 2:100%, you do your own filming, you do your own editing and all for that you do your own filming, you do your ring, so like all the new concepts and all so like we don't. When I started doing the podcast, it was never an intention. See, like two years ago I kind of talked on a camera, yeah, created my voice, like fucking would have ridiculed myself. Then we started doing like tic tac lives yeah, so basically just going on talking, mean like it's massive.
Speaker 2:I probably all the party and there's been able to talk so much. And then I literally we were on a flaky ear and stuff and just want talking crap. And then you get you build up a week, we, we follow on like we sort of audience, if you know, I mean. And then I started the own work with sort of them of productions business. I got like some musician he was from a Glenor can I singer and his management was in la. Then they messaged me to create content for him. But so they were like over there obviously. And then once he uh he was had a launch for like his new song and then I was like here, jump on a live with us, because we get like a few years and be off fast, so it'd be good to get living your name right there. And then people were like here, you'd be good to host the podcast. I the fuck I talk about in the podcast. And they're like just talk pure shit. I was like so we're good at that. Then next day I was like fuck it.
Speaker 1:I'm one of them once.
Speaker 2:I make not a chance. Then see as soon as the clicks so I can create like my own graphics. No, so I never have like the yeah. I never had like a whole on. I'll send this on that I get graphic design or you have control of the ring I like. In total, the only thing I had never created for like the whole podcast, is the animation for it. I created the logo and I animated it and I'm sorry to say there's nothing else, in case someone said I fucking done this video.
Speaker 1:I don't know if you are. I fucking forgot about that. Sorry about that, sorry in advance.
Speaker 2:I see the like. So all the wee skits and all we make crins, the fuck out of me like I can't, but they're good.
Speaker 1:They're actually people like you always do the wee remakes of like all the fucking videos in Belfast and I think I've seen mummies where they're getting like fucking, like people's celebrities to take them down and family members reaching out going to take us down. Maybe we had to take it down, but that fuck. Why are people like? I wouldn't even give in to people.
Speaker 1:I gotta go fuck off because at the end of the day, the video the original video was more circling anyway, 100%. That's more embarrassing than anything. You're not trying to fucking make a shit. They've made a shit of themselves. That's what I would. That's what I would that's what I said.
Speaker 2:I basically look I can take it down, but I obviously, being on TikTok and live and stuff like that, it's very easy for a cancel culture. I know I was like see one of them said something about, like it was a younger sibling or something and it was like affecting their mental health.
Speaker 1:And see, as soon as I mentioned that I know I'd sit because you'd just get cancelled. Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 2:And because I looked, I'll take it down 100% just because there's a younger person.
Speaker 1:But I had no control over YouTube the mental health say, if it now is just everyone's shoes, off everything and all maybe, maybe, maybe maybe maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe. And just get over it, that's mad.
Speaker 2:But then even like, so you'll get one. So like I think, on TikToks or worse, so like you'll get people on Instagram. You never get trolled on Instagram, you get trolled on TikTok. I uploaded a video the other day about I stopped smoking and I was like but I had like like 18 figs left from the weekend and I was like I'm fucking ripping these up so she's funny and stuff, like she's 18. She was like what do you do? Rip him up and like do a big video, like you know, like a call out video, so I call out all the shopkeepers in North Belfast.
Speaker 2:Do you know how fucking sort of me fags?
Speaker 1:and.
Speaker 2:I rip them up and throw them with the buck. Man, someone wrote letter book 100 pound fan and I was like fucking hell and I said my name at I live on the train tracks. I was like, see, there's somebody Fucking knows exactly when I live. Oh see, you can read.
Speaker 1:The fuck on that. It's just Especially like If you're in front Of the camera, you're always like Like, you're always the target If anyone, if anyone wants to See. I always read comments On like, tiktok and Instagram. Like you just can't win, you're always a target, if anyone, if anyone wants to see, yeah, always read comments on like, tiktok and and Instagram. Like you just can't win, right, you can never win. Like people, even me. Like someone wrote to me the other day like I had a podcast video up it was like it was with Floyd or something and someone wrote underneath, underneath it saying um, mcquitt, um, you're still going on about Barbosa being robbed or being robbed by a Barbosa. And I'd ask fair, and he was like, no, I'm not.
Speaker 2:I'm not even talking about that.
Speaker 1:We were talking about fucking, something like not even to do with boxing, and I was like people just want you, just want to slap her, just want to like when you're in front, in front of the camera, they just want to point the finger and say something and it's always in the camera, called like fucking, like Mickey Bo or something. There's no picture. There's loads of numbers on it. There's a photo of me but that's what people do.
Speaker 2:They just want a reaction from you they just want you to bite and then I just be down and just block it and block the account and people probably like he just like takes away any negative comment. But I'm like if I'm asking somebody on as a fucking guest, I'm not having them. Like if they was on their own page they'd probably delete the comment. I'm not going to sit there and people like ripping the shirt off sometimes the controversy.
Speaker 1:Reply to the comment with a video about the hate and then they get loads of views for that too, so they're doubling up on the views because of the hate, so it's cool you can work it in your favour and you get all the love messages.
Speaker 2:You're all busy you're all busy.
Speaker 1:You're all busy. You're all busy. You're all busy. You're all busy. You're all busy. You're all busy, you're all busy, you're all busy, you're all busy you're all I done that.
Speaker 2:After I took that video down. He's like sorry I had to delete that video. People are like, oh my God, I missed it. Tell him the way something. Aw.
Speaker 1:I was like, yes, Aw yo, he evolves.
Speaker 2:Got loads of people in there and then I was like it's okay, they can put it back up, don't worry. Aw, exactly, but no, I wouldn't do that, mate. Fuck that, the one I done with my sister and had to take down. I was just like are you free at six o'clock. She was like why? And I was like come on, make a video. She was like what is it, conor? And I'm like come on down. I was like I'm gonna go get the outfit. Went and took my granny's fucking flip-cover phone.
Speaker 2:No, she went into my mouth. She was like here'm not doing it and I'm like just do it, and then I'll do it, get convinced that I'm going to do it, and then look at myself, I'm like I don't know.
Speaker 1:I hate that on me. I don't know what's going on with me, like a big fruit. I don't know what's up. I'm entering this show to tell you about my sponsors JFH Brisbane Road, ormo Road and coming to you very soon at the Devonage Complex, finny Road. Also, that Praise guy doing great, great charity work across the world Fantastic praises at stake on their social media pages. Check them out, that Praise guy, because it's good. It's good content.
Speaker 2:And then after I watch it about 100 times and I go it's alright it's alright, and I watched it last week.
Speaker 1:Like with these here, they're raw. You don't have the luxury of editing this one so what have you say?
Speaker 2:is it there? Be kind to me, mate, please. It's up to.
Speaker 1:Ryan to fucking do it. But once you're out there, it's out there and I'm hard enough. I don't care.
Speaker 2:I don't.
Speaker 1:I have an attitude when I literally Do not care. I just let it go Whatever, but like Last podcast, he's going. My hair was fucked and I looked back and I was like Fuck me, I'm going to Turkey.
Speaker 2:I was on my way To Turkey.
Speaker 1:Fuck's sake, I was on my way Flight and all Booked. I was going Relax it's. I was going relax it's one video.
Speaker 2:Would you get one Fucking ready for it?
Speaker 1:I went to get one mate. They're fucking aching. Oh, it wouldn't cost me much, but it cost me a favour.
Speaker 2:We small hell. We had a wee small hell.
Speaker 1:To the school I got. Stay at you, don't see you later, Before her finals. Come on seriously.
Speaker 2:See, when I went, I literally went and they don't do a consultation before, so you get the way over and I fucking hate blood, mate, like I swear to God, like I will faint if I like I see I'm worried about blood and all that. And then I went in and you got a wee translator and all that and he's translating for you and I just he started taking the blood out of the air and I was like, oh for fuck's sake here we go.
Speaker 1:Oh no way.
Speaker 2:And then all the nurses were talking to me in Turkish. So I started putting the chair back and I was like, oh no, I'm going to faint there and I had to put alcohol wipes under my nose, Fuck me. So I went in to get the consultation. The woman basically laughed and was like, oh, it's just the way your forehead is that you're hurling. And I was like, please go tell me I don't fucking need this.
Speaker 2:I was like and then I went in to get the, to get the needles mate. I'd never felt pain like in my life. And you're just laying down and the the pain, like it's just like, and my leg was shaking and she was like are you okay? I was like no, no, I'm dead on. But I wouldn't, I wouldn't recommend one we went to Pakistan years ago.
Speaker 1:It was 2020, 2020 or 2021. It was near enough lockdown. It was lockdown, but there was no lockdown over our end. There was millions of people just on the border everywhere. I want to apologise. We've got a hair transplant. Well, if it's there, I'll have to phone the Clifford. Actually Now we Martin Clifford he won't make me say his name because I have photos up on my Instagram, but you can see. When we were flying home, we got fake certificates, like a COVID search, and we got the airport and we're like, nah, we're not getting them in there fake. We were like what? This was like a couple of days before Christmas, like the 20th of December, and we were like no way, we wouldn't let us go home until we got COVID search. And then we end up British Airways got to let us fly home. Man, because they weren't taking certs. They were letting us fly home anyway. And on the flight you want to see his head he looked like Captain Spock on the fucking Star.
Speaker 1:Trek his head and me what the fuck?
Speaker 2:I actually have a full on eye for us.
Speaker 1:I'll show you after he's just his forehead's out there about there and in his eyes or in the back of his head he said fuck me you sound ten hard now.
Speaker 2:Just sat down on a table, see, because I didn't get that much done. I ended up getting like a thousand graphs left, so they didn't put a band or anything on and I still had the front of my hair so it just looked like someone beat the ball like. So it was like it's the big lump you should have got a came up and said shit, her chance to buy the money back.
Speaker 1:She's going to have a receipt now.
Speaker 2:See, if you get a thousand graphs, they don't make a thousand graphs less, you still pay the same amount of money.
Speaker 1:I know it's mad, isn't it? Once you're saying it, they do it and they hit you a price. That's the price, like no matter what, even if you pay, if you're paying for, like, 5,000 grafts and they give you 4,000, that's it.
Speaker 2:I just ask for 500.
Speaker 1:Anyway I've got a herd transplant, a herd laying down in Forehill, in case they ever recede again. You know what I mean they'll recede back.
Speaker 2:Oh my, look a there's a wee lad I know, got one done fucking East Belfast like a herd transplant. I was like mate, fuck that. He was in Goren straight after and I was like mate, where were you? He's like you went back from Turkey. He went nah, got it done, got it done East Belfast.
Speaker 1:Literally they went back they're probably taxing for doing it. The.
Speaker 2:UVF probably went right.
Speaker 1:20% took 20% of his hair. Yeah, yeah. So I just ripped his friends like, like Vatro, I know like he wakes up when he's around. Too bad, Fuck man. I'll go to Turkey the next time. Fuck it, Fuck him.
Speaker 2:I'm not, so no.
Speaker 1:Turkey for you then? Ah, fuck, nah, I don't know. I'll see where I end up, but at the minute minute my brother went like and his turned out alright, but he went and done like the Lisburn Road and like got treatment for 12 months after it was like 1200 quid.
Speaker 1:You pay 100 quid every month for a year and get all the hang, all the and fray like lights, and all for a full year and he shampoo putting off for you. Every month he was gone and I was like fuck that he needs to go back again.
Speaker 2:I just get the weed come on fuck me, I just get.
Speaker 1:Just get something just glued on or something. There's people using shampoo and all like makes your hair look fitter and all like man.
Speaker 2:There's loads of they send you home with stuff like that, like, but aye it doesn't really last long.
Speaker 1:I know there's loads, it's in my whole family. My wee lad has it.
Speaker 2:It's a tube of the muscles in your forehead, so if your forehead moves it's a tube of theirs. So, they give the muscle on your forehead. So if your forehead's a tank, you can't get it. Basically, it's the only muscle I have, oh fuck's sake.
Speaker 1:So my wee lad has the big map, big barn out of her like everywhere else, but he just has a wee V front you know, what I mean? Just a wee V front and it's receding Right up the back.
Speaker 2:That's what it reminds me of Fuck's sake so.
Speaker 1:But If I grow a long fringe it's more noticeable. Aye, now I can bring it down and hang it up to you, and it always just keeps Like going to the side, towards my head. That's what it reminds me of. My fucking Herd ain't probably Stopped so early.
Speaker 2:But you wouldn't think you ever. I mean, that's not even her spray. That's cemented in my head.
Speaker 1:I see I don't wear like any like products on my head. I just shampoo it and try it and away I go just like a fucking stay.
Speaker 2:I need to see the wind blows.
Speaker 1:It's like way back like that.
Speaker 2:I was going through the town one day and I had the AirPods, the big ones, and it was sitting like that. But see when the wind was blowing it looked like I was wearing AirPods.
Speaker 1:I was like a wind's making a cunt. Do you know?
Speaker 2:what I mean, like Jack Reilly's hair Pulled back from all his papers Aye. Fuck me Aye, mate Aye, hersh made the fuck Aye.
Speaker 1:Smacked the damn fuck Big bottle of her like Aye.
Speaker 2:Tsss, mate, I just ran the car Down the other night, silly.
Speaker 1:I'll be down the bar a little later and just go.
Speaker 2:Back to.
Speaker 1:Turkey for a fucking round two. Oh, fuck me, I'll be a panther. And then you've got your. You have a live podcast coming up.
Speaker 2:Aye, I made the live podcast more nervous for this than I have been for my live podcast. Do you have a drink?
Speaker 1:on it. I know that's what we were talking about beforehand. Like you have an old swell, it's a wee bit more comfortable when you have a drink and then you're engaging with a crew and you've got other guests with you. It's not like where today, it's just me and you talking. It's a conversation between two people. It's going to be going on so long where, if you have a full like a full like row of guests and you can all bounce off each other and talk about different topics. Plus, you've got a lot of time to be perfect 100% between whenever you booked it and whenever it's actually going to happen. Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 2:so I always sit there with like notes just to be like right here.
Speaker 2:Fuck, if this dries up, the fuck. But the first one I done. I was obviously shitting them, but the guests were shitting them, so I sorry, uh. The second one I was sweet, like I was, actually I guess it was going to be sweet. It's then on because the thing is like on my one.
Speaker 2:We're like basically my podcast is all about having a drink, fucking, talking party stories, like all the taboo shit that you're not meant to talk about. We talk about it basically. So people are coming to have a drink as well. Yeah, so I'm sitting there having like a real serious sort of like thing. It doesn't really work. We're all all on slag in each other and bouncing off each other, bouncing off the crowd. I thought it would have been Because when I record my own podcast, it's just me in control of everything that's going on. So if people start whispering to say I'm like, is that camera not working? Well, that one, I didn't care, but I thought I was going to like crack up. It actually was better. It's better to engage with the audience 100%, but I they always just end up the last one. We all end up fucking just steaming having sing songs with people.
Speaker 2:It's probably just like a big, massive house party it is everyone's just talking shit over there talking vibes sitting in someone's kitchen sitting there talking shit.
Speaker 2:So that's why I thought this next one was I put out like a wee ad for it and was like if these walls could talk I mean, obviously it's in the Devon East it's gonna be like if these walls could talk on the airbags. I know people wouldn't be able to talk, it'd be dicks in their mouth, but literally, if that, that's what the whole idea is like because because it's like a party if you've been in parties in all before and people would be like are these walls could talk?
Speaker 2:I know the whole promo, for it has been like me sitting like in a party and a party, but it's just me by myself, like talking to myself, like three different versions of me. And then it was like me does that taxi come or is he texting back?
Speaker 1:yeah, all the same. I always see him like things about someone because it's it's. It's like a thing, it's a belfast thing, isn't it definitely a belfast thing? Where it's like a thing, it's a Belfast thing, isn't it?
Speaker 2:it's definitely a Belfast thing, where it's just all like and that was something I was always a skirter like going into. So like obviously I have like my weddings and I fucking professional side of my business. But see, the more I start like showing my character, I get like more bookings now from just actually being a bit more real.
Speaker 1:That's what people want people get married. They relate to it. I got married in June and fuck. I'm no better man than anyone.
Speaker 2:I fucking partied out you know what I mean. So it's fucking, everybody loves it, but there's good you can sort of like bounce off as well 100%.
Speaker 2:Everybody loves it, but they're scared of shit, I know, but then we obviously have like a joke like that, like promoting, like going on partying and stays where people obviously fucking worst thing that ever happened they were. I was an anxious fucker Like I. I one of my all my best mates I've ever met is from like going to parties, like going to parties or like going to like raves and like drinking with like random people. It sort of brought me out of my shell.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like when I was younger, like fuck me, like I couldn't even talk to her, like the parties, what are like, like brought it, brought out of, like your character, basically, and then all my mates and all, like all the jokes and they kind of banter with people and all I would say that would be mostly why, so for me to hide away from it. Obviously we're not going to go on and say exactly what, like what happens, people's, people's names the door people but, like you know, I mean you can hint because people like it was all like stuff that we'd done.
Speaker 2:We had the Shane and all like when we were like I was the youngest one out of like all my mates, so all my mates were probably like three or four years older than me, so I was like 21 like and going to uni and stuff. So you do go, it works, and then you slag people. You can slag people on it, but it's another thing. Like I wouldn't sit and slag about it on social media because people just take it their own way and take it out of their contacts.
Speaker 2:I know that's exactly it people take it out of their contacts all the time. So the leg ones we were going to record and I record, I do record them, just to take the. I don't get like. I do cringe at myself, but I couldn't even watch this. I thought that I was steaming and like. I was like, is that the way I can like I'm drunk now? I was like I was on tic tac live too and I was saying about it and I was like no, no, like really jumping like oh no, what was I doing?
Speaker 2:and then I couldn't understand myself. Uh, I was asking the guests questions but they were sort of getting like what do you mean? I was like I don't know, I have no idea what I'm talking about. So, in a way, that's the whole reason why it's called like if these walls could talk. So it's the whole idea of just like, come and have a drink with us.
Speaker 1:It's like without saying, as I say, it's common, it's common everyone's probably everyone's heard that saying so be able to crack and squat.
Speaker 2:People think that they drank with you. They're all like and it relates to like, you're just third hook and shit. I remember one of my mates like you should just sit third hook and shit and I went.
Speaker 1:That's exactly what we do it's like after a party and we're just sitting there talking absolutely muck. That's funny, lads. One of my mates was saying, after my stag and a bifurc we're saying, fuck man, why'd you brought a GoPro with you brought a gopro in the sport out of your chest the whole time and someone says, speak, victor. I says imagine sticking a gopro on big victor millionaires. Someone else went my boys would have all been in jail. They'd all be locked up 100% gopro victor of all people.
Speaker 2:You'd be lifted and put in the gallery for a long time and I say I'd see people like see if I was in a party and everybody takes out their phone. We're like get that fucking thing away.
Speaker 1:No recording. I know that's exactly it, but you always go like fuck me, imagine being a fly on the wall in a party like fuck me that's the thing. So if these walls could talk something about it like this goes a bit, but everybody said that I'm wondering if there was a fly there.
Speaker 2:I don't know.
Speaker 1:A fly on the wall. That's not what shit being said I know mate. You don't know, but none of it probably makes sense.
Speaker 2:I know A fly would be going.
Speaker 1:What the fuck are we on in my head.
Speaker 2:I'd be a full of balls in my way. It's funny she went. I leave out a scrapper in total. Ballings in my way.
Speaker 1:One of my mates was in a was in a party years ago and I I'm turf and I there was slagging freezes and I, my mates, were all slaggers and he was slagging away at someone and he cracked up and he offered him out to eat. And my mate says that's the fourth time you've offered me out to eat, so next time? He said I'm going to bathe, he's supposed to be back on four and I was going just relax, I was in the kitchen, right, so they end up going out the back anyway. And I locked the door and put the curtains up and they had a third egg out the back and he was like why isn't his face not? We had the kitchen door closed and he like wiped all the blood off his face and he went back down the stairs again and he walked through the door and the same father's face and he went fuck me such and such. What happened? Did you fall?
Speaker 2:down the stairs.
Speaker 1:His face was like we were all going fuck me.
Speaker 2:Did the folks stay in the party after I had the? The folks stay in the party after? Eh, that's the dedication to the party they get. The fuck is going on here like are you counting me. Nobody's giving up the last go at party. They're going to that.
Speaker 1:Nah, it was alright and see. While all was going on, I walked in the living room. My cousin was some week. I was there in the living room. She fainted and everyone in the party was oblivious. No, one knew what was happening A full ambulance in the morning, blue lights. I was like what's going on? They were like she fainted and hit her head off that table. I don't know what happened to me.
Speaker 2:What the fuck? What's going on? I was a flan of all time.
Speaker 1:I swear to God everyone was in the kitchen watching a fur dig in the one that always be going, the deck. We're in ambulance, they say it's going, they say what the fuck we need to go and people still won't go home. But the wee girl. They got the wee girl up and they were like they were like a drip on her, like just like water or something, and obviously she was on the drink, like just to brought her around anyway, and she was like no, I'm not going to. She wasn't getting in the back of the ambulance. So she was dedicated to the party. I imagine that party.
Speaker 2:That's what they're seeing. People think they're going to get fucked out. They start like trying to clean up and they're just pushing everything into one corner of the table like I'm Fuck me. We girls start wiping their makeup off and you're like what the fuck? My mate used to wipe her makeup off and leave her eyeshadow on. Mate, you look so scurred.
Speaker 1:I was shat Down in the floor, someone fell in the toilet. There was a big shade floating about the living room About that size.
Speaker 2:We were going. What the fuck?
Speaker 1:There was a log about that, about the linen roof, about that size. We were going, what the fuck? There was a log about that size floating about. You could have flew. You could have flew down to James Island like that. That's where the fuck, one of the biggest bats in Liverpool. There was a few bats I was like, but they're fucking like as you say, it's just everyone can relate to all them stories. They can. Obviously some parties are a bit more madder than others, but they can all relate to them. Kitchen parties.
Speaker 2:Like me and Sarah had done a podcast before and it was called Professional Scumbags. It was like our second one and we talked like I only ever get the tail up from like something that's hitting it. Yeah, because we they were like this is like all people. They love it the most. I know they're the worst. And my sister ended up sort of like fighting this wee girl because the wee girl was like assaulting everybody and was calling them scumbags and the master was like everybody went to fucking uni and I was the only scumbag there so I had to stick up for them and then she was like I was doing off the NHS.
Speaker 1:They must have like cause, like a big high pressure job and just go on the rip.
Speaker 2:But the thing is it's like not that I would never promote like stuff like that, but people do try things and do like do stuff. But it's just like. It's just obviously a taboo subject, like going on the parties and stuff like that, and nobody wants to talk about it, but we just it's normal it happens you can't prevent it, like even like I have an aphrodisiac 18, 19 coming in, 18, 19 and nices 18, 18, they're going to party and you can't stop it.
Speaker 1:You actually can't realize what he's only phone I'll probably end up part of him there's no point. You can't beat them, just join them.
Speaker 2:You know what I mean, that's right. I don't want to tell you about that, but that's the thing then.
Speaker 2:I always remember people saying like my ma always was like very like, much like going out, we went to raves. We went to raves back in the day so we got the archives and stuff like that. They went to all the raves back then and she was always like but she wasn't. She was just sort of like knew we were all together and like obviously when you go to raves it's like you create like strict parents creates sneaky kids.
Speaker 2:I know my ma was like. I'd rather know like yous were going to Shean and like, instead of you sneaking out to go to Shean, I mean, I remember going to plant, like organise a bus to plant love, like my mum was, like my mum had the night that she'd fucking let me book this bus, but I was like my mum would have booked us up and fucking the Climber Road. Everyone was pre, and I knew you, I knew you organised that bus, so I bussed one to the left about. You don't mind.
Speaker 1:I was like well, that's fair it's a wee bit of a relationship like with like your parents goes a long way because it's like as you say.
Speaker 1:See, that's like tiptoeing around, sneaking around like we don't. My dad was strict on us like and fucks sake, I was and it wasn't never really bad like I never, never, ever took drugs, never smoked or nothing. But I used to drink from my own like. From first time I caught a drink I was 13, like, but that was just me just tiptoeing and growing up, that's what you done. But my dad was strict on all of us so it was like something we always used to do, but I wasn't like same relationship with my wee lad and if he wants a drink, he can have a puff as well, as long as I know where he is and what he's doing exactly.
Speaker 2:And that's the thing, like if, once you're, you sort of like let it away, but like you know exactly who he's with and except we're, rather than them, hiding who they're with and where they're going I don't mean something happens, you have no idea where they are, I mean. But she always said you never brought any trouble to the door. Yous all go to work and yous are all with each other and she was like that's all that matters that's a successful, successful parent. Parent she's made an absolute professional scumbag. That's a professional scumbag.
Speaker 1:Professional parent needs a professional scumbag to be.
Speaker 2:I make it look like I'm a proper scumbag. I'm actually quite as fuck. Our cops will start looking in the office if you want to fuck with you he's under our radar.
Speaker 1:See you up to keep an eye on him.
Speaker 2:I'm following you down the road here see, to be honest with you, I would love to go back to proper parties and stuff. But see, with my job I can't work, though I get fucking anxious as fuck Because I'm not working. So I remember Easter Sunday. I tried to give myself a day off and I had videos that my spouse had a big chance and I was like, sure, I'm in the apartment, I'll do them. I was like it's Easter Sunday.
Speaker 1:Day off, I know, but you need something To keep your mind.
Speaker 2:I don't think you keep your mind Switch when you're self-employed, like if I don't do it, he's going to do it so if I don't do it today, I'm going to have more pressure on him, so yeah, it was one of the main reasons.
Speaker 1:I sort of like one of the main reasons I opened the gym when I did with Marty we. He was training people during COVID in his house and he was going down to train and like he was like why don't you open one with me? I was like, obviously, boxing, busy boxing, but see, in between fights, say like a Monday. So let's say I fought on a Friday or Saturday, all the lads would be out after my fight on the drink and the Sunday would be on the swell, again out for a pint. And Monday would come and everyone's away to work. Tuesday, work well, and I'm in the house on my own and I was training glasgow team but obviously you have to take a break from camp and you're home and then there was nothing to do.
Speaker 1:So say like, and I was tuesday night, I was going, I'm bored the fuck here and I was just standing there and I have a few pints, I'm just drinking for the sake of it, and it was like fuck, I don't want this to carry on between each fetch again, because I, after a few fights, got to the stage where like there was no one really during the week to be with because they were all working, all my mates were working. So I started booking holidays for straight after my fate and going holidaying on the rip for like a week and then after that still no fight news. So you're still back in that same shit again of going to a bar. And then Marty was like just talking with me and I was like I'm not even qualified PT. He was like do your course, and I done the course and opened the gym and then that sort of gives me a good balance.
Speaker 1:But I would be the same, see, if I feel like I'm doing nothing after a fight, like I feel guilty and I'm like my fucking anxiety, I feel guilty. I would be sort of.
Speaker 2:I can imagine. This is where I would be if I had a fight, and that's what I was training towards. It would be like it goes up and then it comes down, so I would need something, even after a show or even anything I sort of accomplish.
Speaker 1:I'm sort of like yes, when I graduated I was like I graduated, and then after that I was like it's just people say it all the time, like people do say after, like obviously, retirement with feders and sports people, they always like take a dip, you should be near enough used to it. I think a lot, of, a lot of sports people any people really like, who achieve something big in their life, the drop is like they should be used to it because you, especially sports people, I think should be used to it because every day is a drop, like not every day, every like.
Speaker 1:If you're playing football top level and you go into your bum, it's a drop. And then you go back up and you're playing pick football, you're in drop, it's you lose. A drop, you lose up and down back.
Speaker 1:So you need to just prepare yourself for it, like and it's something I feel I'm prepared for I think I'll be a big drop with me if I do retire, like, or when I retire I'll just be straight back in the gym and back working on something to sort of keep my mind apart. And I'm glad I did open the gym when I did, because they always said I wrote it after but after retire. But I'm glad now that it's in the motion because it keeps me level headed in between fights and it'll keep me level headed after a fight you know what I mean.
Speaker 2:And then, once you have a tire in, there's your full energy in the ad and they're exceptional as well, and this as well, and it's just, I'm taking football for some James Swift's too.
Speaker 1:I'll be at something yet for. Foxy my wife never sees me she'll be going Foxy.
Speaker 2:You're doing weddings like it's it's so wrong. I'm like you don't see her, like I've never met anybody, and then like you'll do like three or four weddings in a row and saying she was there for you people use always like, use the same type of people and the same and like.
Speaker 1:belfast is a small place, 100, and then we're at the age now where you're near enough to know, vaguely know, of everyone who's getting married, because we're at this age or you know at least 10% of the guests who's probably recommended.
Speaker 2:You I know, or do you know what I mean? I'll never go and do a wedding and not know anybody, and that's a good thing, because most of mine just came through referrals. But I'll go, especially now that I'm on the podcast and all it sort of breaks the bubble. I'd be in there working, I'd be in work mode, sitting there with a fucking camera and from somewhere, and I'm like and I'm not going to say where. And then they're like do you do a podcast? And I go, jesus scoundrel, I get it too.
Speaker 1:Now, more recently than ever, I was in the town with Dervlin. We were in the Spangler and someone goes you're your mom. I was going to go out of the box and he was like off, tiktok, here's me. I've been boxing. We've only got five minutes get my head break will you fucksake. Now I'm just scundered. I was about to say I'm out of boxing must be shit, fucksake, can I?
Speaker 2:catch a break, because I do think, though it's in like the audience, you get off tiktok are more like approachable, where, like people know you from boxing and probably go.
Speaker 1:I know I was your man and don't want to say where like women are just like.
Speaker 2:I've been in test schools in fucking New York yet and I'm like just trying to get like passed and get like fucking my eggs or something, so I'm like Connor Quinn and I'm like oh, fuck Jesus.
Speaker 1:And then you get like a life story and I'm like trying to get some eggs and they're like what's he had hanging down and they're getting related and they're down these bits I'm not going to say where and just like a sandwich place.
Speaker 2:And the guy walked in and the girl was like I didn't know what you were doing in the video today. I was just watching your video last night and I was like, oh shit, that's scum.
Speaker 1:You do get it, but listen, it's good. It's good, it's your audience, isn't it alright?
Speaker 2:and then obviously like if he didn't know it was you, he'd still boot you and then he'll definitely why I get more scundered is because you go in obviously the level of like or like your professionalism and then I'm gonna be in like, oh, you see my fucking cringy, but it's good, like if you can like, if you can let people know that you're that type of character and you can try and like, go between both.
Speaker 1:Like, obviously I'm a professional fighter and I've boxed my whole life and have boxed at the top level, like the pinnacle of the sport, and people, loads of people, know that and, like you say, a lot of them will be like, approaching me even people approach me very motivational but like, I'm just, like people always say, I'm a normal person. Obviously I'm a normal person, but it's just. It's not my fault. I was good at boxing, I'm still. It doesn't change me. No one ever told me well, you can't be messing about it, well, you can't curse, well, you can't do this. Even when they did say it, they just said, well, I would stop. I would rather, oh, sponsors and fuck sponsors.
Speaker 1:If they don't want to sponsor me for cursing, don't sponsor me so I have to change my whole like output as a person to suit a sponsor.
Speaker 2:If they don't see you later, see you after that, see you actually. To be honest, it's the same with me. So when I put out the first podcast we done, we were both anxious as fuck me and my sister, but I cursed a lot on it. So the second one I got was like we swear to ours, it was a.
Speaker 2:It was like my mad mate and I was like I was like but you haven't got a podcast, like, like it's not gonna go far because you're cursing. You're cursing, but then people watch it and be like. It's like I don't even think. Listen to the cursing now, do you know what I mean? Because we all curse we all curse everyone.
Speaker 1:You can't. It's part of our. It's just part of our. Like I don't know part of it, like the Belfast wit, why? It's like a part of the wit, why it describes like in a sentence if you curse, it describes it that way a bit more.
Speaker 2:It's all a tongue you're saving.
Speaker 1:Like fuck off. Like it means you mean it Like get?
Speaker 2:the fuck. It's like fuck. You're not actually telling anybody To get the fuck.
Speaker 1:Go away what?
Speaker 2:Go away. We were partying before. He's really messed up.
Speaker 1:He's like Get the fuck. I'm so sorry, man. Hey boy, get the fuck away From this door. Fuck me, kill you. Hey boy, get away from the door. Alright, man, fuck off, no more. I'm just saying you go, I'm only playing, I'm on this thing. You go, I'm only playing, I'm only playing around, keep playing day to day.
Speaker 2:We were talking about this before. Imagine we started saying frig, frig off, frig off. You mean frig doesn't have to say you mean frig, you dirty friggy, for frig's sake. This is a frigging game.
Speaker 1:Do you know what I mean? It becomes comical. I'm frigging, starving my animals. You're such a frigger.
Speaker 2:It doesn't work. This year I'm freaking sick.
Speaker 1:This is freaking. I'm up to hide over here. Are you thinking about it?
Speaker 2:Nah, it doesn't work this year, I don't know what to order here.
Speaker 1:I need a freaking chicken tikka sandwich. You know what I mean.
Speaker 2:It doesn't work at all, it doesn't come across, it's just comical the whole time just to have to go around one day, all day.
Speaker 1:You should get this to go around your camera or get someone in the video. You just go around just saying frig all day and that's all. We sat in the party just constantly saying frig away off. Turn that tune back on frig, she got to be on twice, doesn't work at all well normally it's Frigg.
Speaker 2:for fuck's sake, I know.
Speaker 1:Frigg, for fuck's sake. I know.
Speaker 2:Nah, but I just think it's part of our like. Everybody does it, even like professionals. Like I've been in like schools and people have been cursed and stuff. Like I had to do a talk in a school and I just said to the teacher I was like I really hope I don't curse in front of all these students. I said shit like shit and then I hit a retina, but it was. I felt like I'd done something really bad. But they're like.
Speaker 1:Don't be running about it, but it's just one of them things it's like. I think most like, as I say, it comes with part of the wit. Like scousers would do it, glass weasels would do it, dogs do it.
Speaker 2:It's like and it's just a word, it's just words.
Speaker 1:I know, it's just a word. There's no like Intent of hatred or anything.
Speaker 2:Or anything. It's like insult there's no insult in it at all, it's just Like if somebody Obviously said something to you, like in a, in a different tone, you're going to be annoyed at that. But I wouldn't be annoyed At somebody saying like Fuck you If it's directed at you, I'd be different.
Speaker 1:Fuck you. You know what I?
Speaker 2:mean.
Speaker 1:Like sarcasm, no like. I was like fuck off you dick, fuck me, you cuntie, my, my missus. My wife hates that word, she hates me. She just said non-stop and I go there's no hate, that's a bad, that's a terrible word. My mouse and I'm like that's terrible, it's just like he's a cunt but he's a good cunt.
Speaker 1:You're still like you're funny. You know what I mean. It's just I understand like maybe certain people come from certain different areas and like different backgrounds and the way they brought up seeing it. It may be bad, but for us it's like part of the joke part of the way it's a star vocabulary. It doesn't matter, like 100%, like imagine writing like a wee level teacher and you're writing like into the rig and all how you said right now how you said we like remember in school.
Speaker 2:Like if a teacher had to say the curse, we're not, you're laughing like you could see it in the book it's coming up, you're like oh, it's, a word I know, that's just immature, isn't it?
Speaker 1:when you're a kid like you're?
Speaker 1:just thinking, I love immature, uh, immaturity like I know we were just talking about my brother, liam. He's doing well. He's been off a drink now about fucking these people proper like booze bag love, the love, the swally. He doesn't mean anything when he's saying this, but he's been off a drink now for about what? 12-13 weeks and he's doing brilliant. Because we were saying we never thought he would have done it, because he just loved doing it as well. He would have worked every single day, don't get me wrong. Went and worked every day, came home kind of carried and he lived on his own. So it was very easy to do. You know what I mean? It was just him, he just lived on his own and it was very easy to do. But he's so funny and he's so immature. He serious conversation to be had with him like ever and even used like one of the lads were telling him he was going to be a grandad and my brother. He busted out laughing and just tortured him for being a grandad and he was like I knew it.
Speaker 1:He was like I can't believe you're going to be a grandad, just tortured him like the wee lads, like he'd be near 40 and he's going to be a grandad and he's like I'm not slagging and he's like shut up.
Speaker 2:You know what I?
Speaker 1:mean he's only 12 weeks and he's just back and he's just slagging and torching all around him and like there's a in our house, I've obviously four older brothers and one wee sister.
Speaker 1:Well, if the older brother's now me and one wee sister, so so it was just our house growing up was just back and forward and slagging and fighting, and my oldest brother, george, the one who sobered my name he we have now. We got a dartboard for Christmas and we were playing darts in one of the rooms in the house and our name said he threw a dart and there was like the wee but wire was around the dartboard. That hit all fat and the dart went behind the like the cupboard and Liam said he had to reach in and I used to slag my older brother, gerard, used to slag him and slag him and Liam said he'd shit himself one day and he did a lad on and he says, no worry, he'd shit himself because, because he's going to be a baff and he never gets baffed.
Speaker 1:It was just a joke. So we were saying, and then we were, so we went to see if there was a dart and it hit off a wee wire and the dartboard and bounced behind a cover. Now we had a dog and you called it Maddie. Maddie's just dog and Irish. So you called our dog Maddie. You called it dog. Translates into Irish as Maddy, right. So he said he was reaching down the back of the wardrobe looking for the tart and he was like I don't know, fuck's that.
Speaker 1:No way, and he says he left it there. He's making a pair of crispy trunks, what? And he says what the fuck's that? I knew you'd say it yourself. Or Maddie thought it was a frisbee. He said he was running. He says my dog thought it was a frisbee and he called it and died.
Speaker 1:That's how immature he is. He thought all this up his head and was like I fucking knew. He says he's like he's only joking. Now George going, they're not mine, they're his. We're all going back and forth trying to say he owned them.
Speaker 2:I probably would have said the dog shit, the dog shit behind the cabinet he says the dog thought it was a frisbee and cut it in two.
Speaker 1:We had to be buried that night. So that's the immaturity I'm talking about.
Speaker 2:I love that man.
Speaker 1:He's near 40 as well. By the way, shit here, alvin's the best people ever. Funny Alvin, oh fucking fucking hell.
Speaker 2:I actually thought you were going to say that the dog shit behind the counter.
Speaker 1:I know I tell that story and then people don't know whether to believe me, if it's true or not.
Speaker 2:I'm trying to see what I'm saying it's true.
Speaker 1:Poor Maddy, how do you put down? Oh, fuck me, we'll call it a wrap here.
Speaker 2:I'm in. I'm happy enough to finish on a high. Thanks for coming in, mate.
