The Public Newsness, sean McCann, welcome to this episode of the Public Newsness Podcast, brought to you from Killin Studios, right here, where you can get all your content done, from photo shoots to podcasts designed for you. With us, today, we have our very own Wingman.
Speaker 2:Wingman. Tristan what's the story?
Speaker 1:fella All good, all good, bro. Thanks for having me. Thanks for coming in, lad. Busy schedule, looking forward to it. Weekend in the common markets Can get a bit fucking Chaos.
Speaker 2:Chaotic.
Speaker 1:I'm sure last weekend Was chaos, wasn't it? Ah, man, I tried to avoid it.
Speaker 2:Some Paddy's day? Did you work some Paddy's day and then I just got out of there?
Speaker 1:off a drink, so you get out of town turn your phone off, ignore everybody.
Speaker 2:Sean picked me up and we cruised about town, went round the Holy Lands was there any? Havoc? No, there wasn't. You know, a couple of years ago the Holy Lands were unpacked, but everyone was down in the half field. There was nothing actually happening.
Speaker 1:Cops everywhere like nothing happening we I'd done that run on St Paddy's Day, the Sparkrack 10k and we went. My mother-in-law booked fucking the Harlem Cafe for food, just for us all to go for food. But it was a squad of us and we got to Harlem and then, as we were driving there, it was like we had a table booked for 11am. So we were driving there from Ormond Park about half ten and you wanna see Nick Hugh outside fucking half five o'clock, seven o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 1:Apparently they were sitting freezing seven o'clock in the morning, fuck it, fuck me and then some of those fucking rockets standing out with a wee Ireland t-shirt on fucking telling me cigar butts hanging out there not for me no way. I'm mad like I've never been a student in any country, like a few of my mates have. It just wasn't for me like, but a party in the Holy Land is like, but I haven't been a student. Oh god, it takes some dedication to stand there and that cold freezing just to go in there. What's so special about it?
Speaker 2:11 o'clock at night, sorry, late at night. They're all still standing in that queue there's other bars open, same with the points, because Philfeast is closed this year.
Speaker 1:The points queue was up around that corner.
Speaker 2:Could you be annoyed?
Speaker 1:fuck it we just went to weights, had a few pints of Guinness and weights. It was packed in there as well, but you weren't queuing enough. Atmosphere and like it was still busy where, like people were squeezing by it, but like, if that's how it was, with no queue, I wonder what the half field was like the beer garden in the half field was like that.
Speaker 1:You look at points as well, people were standing like that going you need to just get one of those big hats and a couple of two tubes of beer in it and have me go drink because you can't move your arms left to drink. Fucking, that would be just that would be my worst nightmare.
Speaker 2:Idea of hell.
Speaker 1:And like Common Market, did you get any feedback on? Like it was madness? Was there a treaty in there?
Speaker 2:So it was like a block party. You know, with Gordon Street they had locks open, they had Common Market open, but from 12 o'clock, people in Cunha, dwayne's Society, cunha Saturday, cunha, smash Bros. I was going this place, chaos as they get me out of here.
Speaker 1:You had a broke? Have you had a stab?
Speaker 2:100%. I have no willpower whatsoever. If someone goes quick paint I know sweat then that would have been me on.
Speaker 1:So there's no such thing as there's a quick paint.
Speaker 2:That's what they say I'm going to have a dog at home.
Speaker 1:This is it, wee dog. When did you get that?
Speaker 2:We got her about eight weeks ago.
Speaker 1:How are you finding fatherly? It's fucking tough man, Tough, isn't it?
Speaker 2:People will be talking about their kids and I'm like I have paper, we paper.
Speaker 1:I'll clean his hole. Is that your child? No, it's my dog. Fuck's sake. Shite everywhere. My wee lad's down for a dog now, but I wouldn't get him so what, mate?
Speaker 2:it was like puppy blues or daffod thing, people talk about it. You know, for the first two weeks I was going. What the fuck have I done? You know, couldn't sleep. We tried crate training, mate, but the dog, you'd have thought someone was trying to kill it, like going nuts, and people were like wait it out, wait it out, wait it out. Four hours, the dog's fucking going ballistic at fucking three o'clock. I was like not for me so I didn't put her in a crate. But now she sleeps, she sleeps on the floor beside my bed and then fucking half six every morning I just feel you know the fucking dog puppy breath on my face. You know time to get up and go for a walk. Man, oh, fuck me, I couldn't do it wouldn't change it for the world.
Speaker 1:No, no, that's what happens that's not, it would be.
Speaker 2:I'm being so fucking repulsive.
Speaker 1:But to die young, I'd be heartbroken. I'd have to go keep him right. I'd cut my normal outboxes.
Speaker 2:I have a camera in the house. Right, it's in the living room, just so I can see when I'm out.
Speaker 2:You know she's got her own wee dining room so there's like two baby gates room on her own. But I used to sit and watch on the camera in work. I'd check, you know. It says there's movement or something. I go and look and she's just sitting there looking sad and I'm like I need to go home from work here or else she's barking and going mad and I'm like the neighbours are going to go fucking mental you're baiting all your fucking emotions it.
Speaker 2:I was like just leave the dog in the house and I'm like, ah, she's fucked. She's come to work with me.
Speaker 1:I know that's it. Fuck me. Other animals are just Dogs. Used to be just like roaming around the streets, eh.
Speaker 2:A hundred percent Go on.
Speaker 1:I miss it. We were like dog shit on the streets, like white used to walk.
Speaker 2:I used to leave my granny's and walk up there. There's fucking staffs just running about. I used to lap back around, straight back into my granny's.
Speaker 1:Someone walked me to the shop like it was dogs we had like used to warn us when the cops not were coming. We were standing drinking like there was certain dogs that ran around. They were like our mate. There was one that actually had a Facebook, his dog had a Facebook. Arnie. Arnie Branigan had a Facebook. His first Facebook status was woof, woof.
Speaker 2:Funny lads must have made it and fucked about as soon as you see a speed camera, the dog's on letting everyone know the dog used to run down when the cats were coming and go.
Speaker 1:I bark like fuck. We could take out the carriage if we were all standing straight drinking fucking brilliant day with the good days. And then there was another one Lappy Lugs you called it that other dog. I just, it was fucking. You just walk around everywhere Russ, like the two of them, arnie Brannigan and Lappy Lugs. And then the sad day came where Arnie had fucking, had we put down and fucking, it just lost all it's fucking, it's dog's deal the whole district is fucking depressed fucks.
Speaker 1:His biggest funeral turf has ever seen. Cops are coming catching everybody the dog's gone. I had a guard of honor and all way down North Lane Road the matrix got him 100% fuck me, keith, desi, fuck.
Speaker 2:See, anyone I was talking to about coming on here there goes fuck you and Sean will talk some shit. Oh, fuck, I just got it. What a fucking dog. I was on Facebook, oh.
Speaker 1:I've got on you on Facebook. You've got loads of legs and all yeah, but fuck, and what happened to you? You were doing your re-wing thing, you were doing the tours. What happened?
Speaker 2:The tours. Mate, myself as a bit of an entertainer right, yeah, but I'm not. I'm not good at a lot of things. I can't sing, can't dance. Say you're an entertainer, you fight, can't fight. What I can do is I can get people blocked and have a bit of crack. But it just became too much, mate. I was doing 30 people on a friday, 30 people on a saturday, and then I was partying with them all you know, after, and then you're having to win the saturday to do it, and it was just six spots, six beers, and then I was drinking them all after and I was just going. It became too much. It was a good crack, you know, don't get me wrong, but we're playing like flip cup, pitchy on the way around and having a crack and I just went. I can't do this anymore.
Speaker 1:That's something like a student could do.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was just I was doing that, working all week. You know, fucking, my head was minced. I just couldn't do it. Oh fuck, brought me through. It's a great idea like.
Speaker 1:I mean like if you had like a wee agency or something like that, where, like people booked up 100%.
Speaker 2:I don't know what you have said. No mate like stag do's and stuff.
Speaker 1:You have people working for you or something, but suppose like doing it on your own, doing it on your own, like you can't just do.
Speaker 2:It brought my mate Curtis. He came out with me once. We look like two fucking dickheads here, but everyone had fun, you know, and it was good crack, but it's just too much effort. And then businesses because you're bringing 30 people in, they were cancelling on your last minute. You know going oh, I don't have, we've double booked, you don't have a space. And then I was bringing them to Smash Bros, zoosh and Lassa in Common Market because people were cancelling on me and I was hungover and you're waking up the message going, I'll sort this and I was going fuck, it's not for me.
Speaker 1:I suppose when you take on, you don't know what else to do. I didn't take it into consideration. But I just thought it's a great idea. But like if I was going away, like say, leaving for a birthday or a stag or something, the Lake Liverpool or something, you look at something like that, it would be a good crack. The lads go, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2:It was fun, don't get me wrong. Probably break it back eventually, but it brought me To the wings society. I realised that there's better wings To be had. The shit I got to do, yeah, because.
Speaker 1:It's very competitive With lads. Yeah, competitive over wings 100%.
Speaker 2:Who can?
Speaker 1:eat. Who can eat the most? Who can eat the hottest? You know?
Speaker 2:so we do the wing sting challenge, we do, but like that's just me fucking getting up on stage blocked and shouting abuse at people. You know and like everyone's, like that's with Shane. I'll go. Shane Cairn, they're like you're just made for that. You know, that's your fucking bread and butter there 100%, not me.
Speaker 1:Maybe were you Super.
Speaker 2:Bowl party.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he was saying or people just fucking paint some milk that's on there every time.
Speaker 2:I brought my camera up to him, he just had a wing like in front of his mouth and he was going like this we done one down in the dock right and one of the fellas who owns a bar in the dock, his dad done it and I was too busy running around fucking. I was too busy running around fucking. I was holding microphones in people's faces, going how you getting on, you know, holding the milk in front of them, pouring the glasses, opening the beers, and one of the fellas, his dad was fucking. He was like looking like he was wiping. You know, he was fucking wiping the hot sauce off the wings and he was eating. He got to the end.
Speaker 2:So when we went back down to the doctor again up on the stage and goes, I want everyone on the screen shouting bang, call them a cheating bastard. So that's part of the thing when you buy out of the competition is, I'll get you to stand up and then I'll get the whole crowd to go on the count of three. I want you all on the screen shouting bang right. So see, at the Super Bowl party, 400 odd people going, shouting bang.
Speaker 1:I'm standing up on the give it a fucking stacks cracker. Brilliant, nah, it's fucking. That's what it's all about.
Speaker 2:That's it that wee bit more you know, not just going in and working in a kitchen, you know you need to do something and enjoy it. You know, it's like you're doing podcasts, something else. You know, I can't just stand in a kitchen, my head goes.
Speaker 1:I know because it was fucking like I well see when people see eating as a part, like being fun, yeah, being good, crack being like you don't have a bite chance?
Speaker 2:oh, exactly seven minutes or something.
Speaker 1:Fuck's sake, there has to be a tactic yet your man crawford?
Speaker 2:he just fucking pulled it in the half, added like two tackles, one minute 21. We're all just nobody's beating that like nobody's beat it. Yet is he a big lad? Have you not seen him? I didn't see it, your man. Have you seen your man Crawford? Just fucking like first video he messaged me and said he wanted to do it right. I clicked on his Instagram. First video was him standing outside you know the old Tesco in town. Yeah, just opening a bottle of fucking Sarsen's vinegar and fucking knacking it.
Speaker 2:He, just he does all them wee like you know you wouldn't hack this and he's like who wouldn't you know. And he's like they had a dead fish and all the fermented fish he's fucking eating it and gagging. He came down and done it and he fucking smoked it no way, nobody else wanted. In a way, we bring a couple down you know, he came down with Dara and some mattress and stuff and everyone cheered, you know has a bit of crack big caddy 4x. He came down that day as well.
Speaker 1:He done well for like 3 minutes or something. He done well for like being small. He's only small, 100%. He's the worst. He didn't work. See when he's eating on that tic tac, get that off the fuck.
Speaker 2:I can't watch that. His breakfast at 6 o'clock morning time, the food hours get that off the fuck.
Speaker 1:I hate, but I I have like a phobia of watching people eating who like make noises and make up, but obviously leave these makes right beside your face. I was trying not to eat messy, that's I ain't gonna say it. That's why. That's why I was probably sad not to nobody can get as bad as.
Speaker 2:Tyrone McKenna, him and Tommy going head to head with Taron's fucking he's just, he's drinking his glass right. And then I looked at his glass and I was like, do you want another glass of water? And he's like, no, it's sweet, it was just covered in burger sauce. Tommy finished Taron's still horsing it into him, but he must have gagged on like a bit of bacon. And he took a drink poked into his glass and then and I went fuck it started drinking. Everyone's going. What the?
Speaker 2:fuck I stand in the corner going content this is content oh fuck it happy days he wants to come down and do it again.
Speaker 1:I remember doing it, thinking I'll probably do it for three or four minutes. I still don't realise how salty it is. See me drinking fuck me. But I didn't realise as well. I don't drink when I'm eating, I drink after. See, I think you were telling me drink water helps it fucking helps so much. Towards the end I was like what? But I was baited. I was sitting like that after going fuck me, I'm, I'm out of that. I cared about the salt in that burger, but fucking great.
Speaker 2:Johnny Neeson, he didn't. He came down. He didn't want any sauce on his. So you know what it's like fucking bacon, meat cheese. He was eating it 14 minutes. It took him and he was just sitting there going mate, I came down here on the weekends and ate this burger in fucking 2 minutes. He was like see, the cameras are on you and the fucking lightings are on, the pressure's on and he'd probably save himself all day. You're not even that hungry.
Speaker 1:I know, fuck's sake, it's fucking no good we're gonna bring it back.
Speaker 2:I want to bring it back and just have like your average Joe, you know, like William from the Shankill just commented saying I'll smoke at time. No sweat, come on, I'm down to do it, yeah, 100%.
Speaker 1:give people a wee bit of a platform to make a good of themselves 100% Because everyone does. It's like they receive Just boxing, for example. You always get the armchair Fucking Like experts Calling out boxers, and then the boxers Will come down and spar me.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and then they don't do it.
Speaker 1:And they just Bice up. That's like Near enough, the equivalent of I'll win that burger challenge. Well, you can Sit in for an hour Trying to eat it. Fuck Great, fucking great. But I See the Like like you. You just do the. You just not do your podcast with the wing hang eventually.
Speaker 2:Eventually, bring Adam here as well when we get a shop and the proper setup I would like to do like a version of Hot Ones, you know, with the wings thing.
Speaker 1:You know, bring people down. We've done it before. I remember throwing my cannon, throwing my cock, and Glasgow and we lived and they'd done like a wing thing it was in this wing case and it was fucking roasting. I'd try it, my stomach was racking 9.2 million.
Speaker 2:I had to get people to sign waivers Maddox on site and all and people were going have you tried it? And I goes.
Speaker 1:I'm not that fucking stupid, your stomach would be racked, you'd have to wear goggles, and gloves and I'm on the mic going.
Speaker 2:People are trying to take your goggles off and I'm like put your fucking goggles on, oh, fuck me. Some people wear gloves too you have to wear the gloves because you put fucking something in your eye 100%. You're fucked, you're blind. That's insane. I told him he was plating them up and I go put goggles on. And he went nah, it's sweet.
Speaker 1:And then I turn around 10 minutes later and he's like, because it's so hot, you're sweating, you're sweating. Even I was eating a burger. I was like fucking sweating just eating a burger and I was like, oh, fuck doesn't help when people are like shouting at you as well.
Speaker 2:I know you're getting all fucking flustered like see when you?
Speaker 1:do you just make them ideas up yourself, or do you just like go away and try? And I grew up watching. Man Vs Food you know what I I?
Speaker 2:mean, and then there's nobody was really doing any of that sort of stuff. So we had the burgers and I went let's get a burger challenge on the go. You know a wee bit of extra something to post out. You know common market. You're in a 3x3 unit. There's not a lot to talk about you know, apart from, you know your menu's, your menu. You can't go too far off it, and it pushes us because you boys all have followers as well. We're collaborating with you. Your mates are seeing it, you know.
Speaker 1:Fuck over down and try that you know, because that's what happens, those people it's networking that's what it is. It's networking. It's fucking. It's good way of doing it.

He still I have just called bird shit because he had like a birthmark in his head. Like we talked about nicknames. He's just a bird shit and I was like people just going me, me in my school, like I went to high school and loads of my mates in school were like your mates have the worst or the weirdest names in in the world and I was like I never really thought anything of it. But see, now you look back, I go.

I feel like people here are a wee bit more like just a wee bit more chaotic when they're younger. They always end up doing better when they're older because they're not following a script. Not following a script. The way life should be like grow up, you get a job or you get your fucking GCSEs. Do your NLs? Go to university? You get a job.
Speaker 2:I knew I failed the ring fucking. I failed my theory fucking three times, shutting down tests just were nothing for me.
