Welcome to the Public Nations Podcast. Right here in Killen Studios, where you can get all your content. Photo shoots and podcasts, video editing, whatever you need, we've got it right here. My my wife's an actual, she actually works for TV and she's an editor. Oh, seriously but I just haven't got the patience for it. And I just really need to have the her anywhere near it. Cuz I know for a fact that she'd be sla like she when I get home and my and the podcast is out, she's like, why the fuck are you talking about? Why are you saying she's always slapping me? I'm like, what do you want me to say? She's like, like, why do you have to say it? And so I know if she's involved anywhere near it, add it and be cut, be cut down a bit this is a minute of the episode. Oh minute episode. And it's all the part. The whole editing would be just you talking to me cutting. Nothing. None of me. Oh fuck me.

Heat, Sunburn And Belfast Phrases

SPEAKER_01 1:03

So how's life treating you anyway?

SPEAKER_00 1:05

Loving it, loving this weather here.

SPEAKER_01 1:06

Great. Fucking roasting. Do you enjoy the warm weather? Some people are a wee bit like, uh I love it.

SPEAKER_00 1:11

There's like a window where it's just nice. Where say if it gets too much, then I'm I'm in a foul form. Like, yeah. I'm always like the warmer the better for me. Could you do like 35 degree heat? Could you love it? I love it. I was out on Sunday with my dad for Father's Day, right? And we were just out at the bullhouse over East. And we're only out from like, I'd say maybe two o'clock to eight o'clock, but we're in the sun all day. Yeah. And I've got fucking see my like last night.

SPEAKER_01 1:39

A reverse pandemic. Weight icebergs.

SPEAKER_00 1:42

Because you'd think like, oh, he doesn't even have any colour, but it does I'm actually just far more weight, like even my arms and all. Yeah, fuck me. Yeah, actually have done. Why does burn eye burn so quickly?

SPEAKER_01 1:50

Yeah, it can't quickly like, but my wife's ginger, so she's like she she actually likes people or something, but she at the minute she can't sleep around. It's depressing her. Like, but it like my son must take it after me because he likes landing bare. And it he's a we like he's blonde, kid, but he's got like curly like curly hair, and I go in the check on him. Is her so good sweating like a dog's deck and it's just lying there, and I'm like, that's me. So then I wake up in the middle of the night there be sweat, tricking down me, and I love it.

SPEAKER_00 2:17

Sweating like a dog's deck is one of the modest phrases ever.

SPEAKER_01 2:20

I don't even understand it. When does the dog's deck?

SPEAKER_00 2:27

When does the dog Who was the first one to jack on it?

SPEAKER_01 2:36

Get the lipstick.

SPEAKER_00 2:42

And the dog's balls as well. I know when someone's like, it's dog's balls. Why why is everyone obsessed with dogs balls?

SPEAKER_01 2:47

I know. So much to answer for because I don't think anywhere else in in Ireland or the UK used that. Dog balls? Maybe London, but London's.

SPEAKER_00 2:59

I think do you know what it is? You ever go to someone's house who has a dog, but they don't have like their dog still has the its balls? It's all you can see. A big mass big fucking two cunters. It's all you can ever see. Where that's probably where it comes from. That's what I like. That's a dog's balls.

SPEAKER_01 3:18

It means good, it means that's great. That's like if you're reading something nice, you've got the dog's balls.

SPEAKER_00 3:22

You wouldn't want to like the dog's balls then get the spat off.

SPEAKER_01 3:28

We should never let oh fuck me. But there's a lot, like there's a lot of like phrases I think people on Belfast use, and uh like sometimes I like being the ladder time you always catch yourself on and be like, what's that even? What does that mean? How does that where does that come?

SPEAKER_00 3:46

Who made this up? Do you think I came up with the lagging on the bubble? That's one I was like, it doesn't even make sense. Why bubble?

SPEAKER_01 3:53

Like it's reverting to someone who's like stupid or you hitting out stupid. Why would you become the laggard on the bubble?

SPEAKER_00 4:01

If anything, would you not be pretty smart come up with a bubble?

SPEAKER_01 4:05

There's high currents in there fucking but uh nah, it's just there's loads, there's like you say, it's just uh one one of them things you just have to you know even how far back to go, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_00 4:17

Aye because I always go like Like were people saying and swan like a dog's dick in the 1940s like Hello Switch like a dog's dick three pieces, you cut them on the oh fucking brilliant.

SPEAKER_01 4:33

Um yeah, but fucking it this I think Belfast. There's only like a few people in the in the in the UK and Ireland that would like get away with like we phrased like that, and Belfast is definitely one of them. Some of Scotland as well, like they have some models. Yeah, Scousers, Scotland, Belfast, or they're not Scousers almost speak a different language, but so they do like some of their words.

SPEAKER_00 4:52

It's uh like what are they called? Uh John Heads, that's what they call smicks. John Heads? Why?

Ads Then Back To Smicks

SPEAKER_01 4:59

Get yourself down to Wing Society, try out their tenders, try their burgers, try all their sauces. Unreal. But people in the people in Belfast call schmicks like smickers and uh like stuff like I'm like it's it's a smick, but someone actually asked me on this podcast before, didn't they? Like, where does the term schmick come from? And I'm like, I think it comes from Schmicker, like he's a wee smicker. But then where's that name come from? Where's that comfortable?

SPEAKER_00 7:20

I went to wee paw school, like, and I always said schmicks. You should drive me mantle. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 7:25

I was always always a well, I like I've I'm probably the most schmicked out person ever now. I can't even deny it. Um people always like in school, I guess this girl always used to go, she was the older means to take schmick, schmick just constantly call me a smick. And I used to like get a lot of like grief in school because I used to wear our Max 95s always, like growing up, and I they were my favourite trainers ever, and now everybody wasn't. Aye. People who aren't people who called me smicks are loving these. Oh, they're weren't dressing like smicks now. And I'm like, fuck shake. I I was a translator back then. Stolen Vogue. Is that what you say? 100%, yeah. It's fucking but it's so common now. Like people are and then the stage reverting back to near enough that old like shelly tracksuit.

SPEAKER_00 8:08

Aye. I got I got a wee like an underarmour one there the other week. I thought that because it's proper like 90 smic. Yeah. But then that's what it is. That's like in Fice and I, isn't it? Yeah, 100%. It goes back.

SPEAKER_01 8:17

Like you look at like even like rapping, like people are rapping, and it's like it's cool. Like it's mad because whenever you think back to like rapping, I was thinking, Mark, like even like 10 years away, I wouldn't have listened to English rappers, like maybe Professor Green, maybe Ten C straiter coming in a wee bit, but it wasn't like it wasn't I didn't love it. Yeah, it was always like obviously you don't like you go right back to like Wu Tang Clan and then you eminent. I loved all that like type of rap was rap to me. And then you garage coming in, and I still don't really like it. But now like there's people in Belfast rapping, Scousers rapping, yeah, and I just you never thought, how's this gonna work?

SPEAKER_00 8:57

It doesn't, I I I hear it. Sorry to anyone who's rapper from here. I can't I actually can't listen to it. Yeah, I don't know what it is. I remember when John Sue first I remember first hearing him and it was like, I get this because he lived in England, so he has a wee bit of an English twenty, and I didn't mind it, but I also think like just leave the Americans. He's a great voice. Oh, he does.

SPEAKER_01 9:19

If he done if he did like proper singing, yeah, he's a great voice. Um but like rapping's very hard to do when it's not uh like me personally, I love American rappers, and I just that's all I listened to really.

SPEAKER_00 9:30

Who's your who's your top three? Top three, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 9:33

I was actually I was I seen something on TikTok the other day and it was like top ten rappers, and people were it was like a catchphrase thing, and they were trying to get us, people were saying like a little win line. I was like, what the fuck? Surely he's not in the top ten. Like Eminem has to be up early when you look at it, but like Tupac, but it's all the Nas. Yeah. Nas, I love Nas, I would say. For me personally, M M like Tupac and Biggy, I don't really listen to him no more because I've learned they're out player. I've played I've been listening to himself from I was like eight years old. Probably weren't shit. I know they're not producer exactly. Hope not. Uh fucking but they're like I've I've just outlistened them. Like they're playing out now. I've I've listened to them at obviously they're still amazing and and then they're like goats, but like not reproducing music is like you're like filled up now.

SPEAKER_00 10:25

Some of the like I I I would prefer Biggie over Tupac, but when you listen to Tupac, it's a wee bit like just chill out a wee bit, man. You know what I mean? Everything doesn't need to be as serious all the time. Or at least Biggie's having a bit of a laugh. He's talking about I don't know, smoking weed and having one. Women and shit and stuff.

SPEAKER_01 10:38

It's just like it's like it's more chill, isn't it?

SPEAKER_00 10:40

Were Tupac's all like fuck? You feel like you're gonna rise up in the panther movement or something? Just fucking take it down and ask me. Just relax.

SPEAKER_01 10:47

Part of your fucking little were like early hasty or something. Just run around. Fucking shouting and screaming stuff.

SPEAKER_00 10:53

I think my favourite ever, Kanye West.

Kanye Love And Cancelled Gigs

SPEAKER_00 10:55

Can do no wrong in my eyes. Even that. I mean, we've all said a few things that you're here and there. But I mean, like, you don't really think after like 2000 after he released um Life of Pablo, which don't worry about anything or done or anything like that. Anything before that, but genius. I ain't going to see him here in Madrid.

SPEAKER_01 11:22

Yeah, and a friend went and see him, I was in Amsterdam training last week. And a friend went at the Amsterdam last time.

SPEAKER_00 11:27

But it was like it was like three hours out of Amsterdam, wasn't it?

SPEAKER_01 11:29

Well he no, he said. He said it was like uh like 45 minutes ago.

SPEAKER_00 11:35

That was all it was. I I was looking at it before me and my mate, and then it was like looking at the Harlem or something, I don't know. I think it was, but it looked like it was gonna be a ball lake to get it. So then we were like, nah, we'll not bother going. And then Madrid came up, and it's in like Athletical Madrid Stadium, so like I'll be good. And then we were like, there was the rumours about him getting announced for wireless, and you're like, fuck say if we spent like 240 quid and can you tickets for Madrid and he's gonna play London, and then it got announced, and we were like, fuck's sake, isn't it? Not loud in the UK, nah. That's insane. They did that before with your man tell out a crater. What's that about? Like, I think they could do it on terrorist, like they say it's like terrorist hate speech or something. But like I've also had a few things after a few bears. That's what I mean. A few peers?

SPEAKER_01 12:17

Shooting this guy, follow cloud.

SPEAKER_00 12:20

Fuck me. But and then Italy cancelled him. Well they they he was meant to go there too. They didn't let him. But there was like Turkey let him, Spain are letting him, um Holland let him, and I think Georgia, weirdly enough. Georgia.

SPEAKER_01 12:34

Fucking crazy. I know it like can you imagine how many Kanye West fans are in Georgia, like Georgia no fucking like I always like Georgia to me would be like when I imagine Georgia, I imagine like Albany or something like where it's just gangsters, like just recruits.

SPEAKER_00 12:51

Just is it even like others or just because I think a porad? That's what I think.

SPEAKER_01 12:55

It's Kazakhstan, isn't it? Yeah, I've been all the sort of season. I've been to Kazakhstan.

Kazakhstan Boxing And Soviet Politics

SPEAKER_01 13:03

What was it like? Good, like Is there much going on? Do you know what the difference is? Like see, like there's no like middle ground, it's like poor, like big eastern blocks, and then like a big massive house gated house. But they're in the same facil, like they're in the same like they're not even separated, they're not like that. There's no like they made it seem like there's no middle class, it was just like rich, like oil owners probably here, and then big eastern blocks. So I asked one of the Kazakh coaches, I was like, What's the crack with that? And he was like, There's no crime rate here, so lot of crime, like there's is there not? He's like, our crime rate's very, very low, so we we don't mind living there the same as us. We have money they don't, they don't steal. We I was like, fuck, alright.

SPEAKER_00 13:48

That's mod, like I know because Bora Bora makes you think obviously I know it's not like an accurate representation of what Kazakhstan is like, but I remember I used to work for like a it was like a civil service job before like an agency thing, and it was international pension, so people rang up and you had to like sort their pension while they moved abroad, and one guy came because you always saw their address. One guy lived in Kazakhstan. I loved and just asked him, What the fuck made you with Kazakhstan? What do you do with? And it wasn't like he had like a Kaz Kazakhna was Kazakh or Kazakhstana, you would say Kazakh. He didn't have like a Kazakh name or anything, it was like Martin Phillips. That's the fucking first thing. Marty Phillips, live in him and live Astana. What was do you go to the same place twice?

SPEAKER_01 14:24

I went to Astana and then went to Al Mari twice. Almati's the capital, isn't it? Yeah, two good cities. Or is Astana maybe? No, Al Mari's the capital, yeah. Can you get a beer in it? Oh it's like it's the same. So like I've been to loads of eastern blocks like Ukraine and stuff, they're all similar. I know like part of Kalaxistan's in Asia, yeah. Another part of it's in Europe. Um, but it's like they've all got like the same outlets so it's like wee underground basement, which is like again like a big block of like eastern block flats, and you're just walking underground till we bar, we dendzy bar, but they're always they're always good.

SPEAKER_00 14:59

I can't imagine much of them speaking English.

SPEAKER_01 15:00

We were there for a month and a half, not not very well, but we were there for a month, and on our last day, there was me and three other boxers, and we went to a bar and we were written on the bus and we were like sitting having a drink. How about like four pence in? Do you know like when you start to get enjoyed, you don't want to leave? And one of the lads, he was from uh Mayo, Ray Moilett, he was like, Ah lads, I don't want to go home. He was like, What? We've been here for a month eating fucking horsemate. Fuck he was like, Oh no, but like I'm getting used to it, no. I was like, fucking not to do stare. Fuck shit. Oh fucking horsemate one? We had we had Burr meat one day and it was really, really nice.

SPEAKER_00 15:49

That's the same with a horse. I would imagine the horse would be alright.

SPEAKER_01 15:51

Yeah, it was fucking good, but the food, the worst food I've ever had is in Ukraine. Absolutely disgusting. The food in Kazakhstan is excellent.

SPEAKER_00 16:02

Don't make a worried about all these burgers aren't they? Where's my house?

SPEAKER_01 16:07

Fucking the word of cooking. Um but yeah, it was fucking the food in Kazakhstan was good and and and the it was it was good, it was surprisingly good.

SPEAKER_00 16:15

Is it all just like meat and stews and stuff?

SPEAKER_01 16:18

Yeah, soups. They they eat a soup before we meal, it's like they always have a soup. Almost it's like eggs in it, like eggs and the soup, and they ever see like turkey shakes or then like they ever have turkey shakes. Like it's almost like eggs and a tomato salsa, but it's like soupy soup. Yeah, yeah. So they have that, but only it's in a soup. And it's like, I don't know, it's weird. It's very weird. I I don't like it, but some people do. And funny enough, my coach was Georgian. Uh huh. He moved from Georgia in 2003, and he's been living here ever since. And he is just in his element. Oh, this is his best beatroot soup. Like, uh, this is the best volume. I was like, fucking see it. Is there McDonald's there? 100%. But uh, surprisingly, like good good experiences all around him.

SPEAKER_00 17:07

See, I just uh kind of like why why did you just go there? Is it like big for boxing?

SPEAKER_01 17:11

Yeah, big for boxing. So like they would be at that at that time, they were probably the leading countries in the world, like for boxing.

SPEAKER_00 17:18

There's no way, obviously, that's like what do you call it? Um uh where's the place uh all the MMA fetters are from? Oh Tajikistan or something like that. Uh you know the one fucking all are from? Yeah, Kamaya. Um the way they're like the leaders there, because I suppose you could say it makes sense because you're in like sort of Eastern Europe and you fuck all astonished. That's it.

SPEAKER_01 17:37

It's different cultures, but obviously because our coach was Georgian, he was he was he boxed in the Soviet, so like before it was changed, before every world became like independent, but so it was actually harder because like the Russians used to get like everything. So like Russian always explained us that Russian boxers were always giving like you wouldn't need to really knock them out to win. Basically, if you were from any other parties like Moscow, what at once the Asian Olympic team was eleven uh fighters all from Moscow, even though the whole South was like Georgia, Kazakhstan, fucking Ukraine, everywhere else, they were all from Moscow. So they were favouritism and political. And then he won them because he knocked three people out. So he was like the only Georgian on the team. Uh but he he always says like fucking like once once you get once he got into like the number one he was number one fighter on the team. They were doing his their best to try and get him out of it. Oh, seriously.

SPEAKER_00 18:37

There must be something about Russians, like what Rocky film is it where he fights a Russian fallen? And it makes you think like I because I wouldn't want to fight a Russian fallen. Yeah. But is there like any nationalities you wouldn't want to fight? Russia's a tough.

SPEAKER_01 18:48

I I fought the the I fought a world champion from Russia twice. Uh beat him before enough twice. But he was what he was like current world champion, and they're always like they're always there. And to be fair, they're definitely cheating as well. Like uh Kazakhstan, another really hard nation, Cuba. Box fell from Cuba before Andy Cruz. Couldn't hit him a handful of race. He was just he's the best fellow I've ever fought. Like and uh he's prone eye. I know they're not allowed to turn professional, but he's fled the country and he's turned professional.

SPEAKER_00 19:20

Are they not because of the sanctuary?

SPEAKER_01 19:21

Yeah, so they're obviously it's a communist country, so they're not allowed to they what happened was a story this fella uh Ramirez, he beat Michael Connell in the in the 2012 Olympics. He won gold, he won two Olympic gold medals, and then he fled and got caught. And then brought him back. And he flared again and got caught. He's not doing a very good flame. Like you're playing, no, definitely not. But he got away on a vast day and he's turned prona and he's had like five fights and world champion.

SPEAKER_00 19:49

I didn't think they were like so strictly communist still where they're like, right, get you back here. Yeah, they're fucking. What are we getting them back for?

SPEAKER_01 19:55

They're so like I know, I know. What are you like in a minor topic? Oh, uh yeah.

North Korea Stories And Fear

SPEAKER_01 20:04

Yeah, so it's fucking Did you see the videos on TikTok are coming up of North Korea? I don't know what they believe anymore, but they're kind of propaganda, that's what it is. I'm like, how's this happening?

SPEAKER_00 20:12

Like I saw one the other day as well. It keeps coming up, and it's like, oh come come visit Pyongyang, and it's like all the and the people are so friendly and happens. And no, no, the tour guides there, like, but like you know, you meet real people. I'm not that stupid.

SPEAKER_01 20:24

And people are like, the com all the comments at Brennan is like like hundreds and hundreds of comments. Oh bots beautiful. It's clean so clean, oh my god.

SPEAKER_00 20:35

I actually would like to go. I'd love to go to the first. I'd be so scared of doing something wrong, but you know what? You have to be like everything has to be done like a certain way. You can't like offend anyone. You have to I'd be scared of just doing something on accident. There was a fellowshire from America he went over, and I think he took like a leaflet, like a party, like the the whatever political party it is that is in charge. He took like one of their leaflets just as a souvenir. They got caught obviously doing it, and they kept him in jail, and then America were like trying to get him back the whole time, and then they give him back, and he had completely brain dead. So he was they had to just fly him home and then he died when he got back home. And they were like, Oh, we don't know what happened to him. Like that when he came here.

SPEAKER_01 21:17

What are you saying, yes? Send better spies next time. Oh, fuck me. That's mad, but it's ever see the is it the girl does it do with James English or Joe Rogan or something, or is she a she flair?

SPEAKER_00 21:32

See, and there's always the jokes about her leg.

SPEAKER_01 21:34

But then people say she's talking shit. And oh no, it's uh like it's it's sort of almost unbelievable some of the stuff. Just some of the things you have to pick your own shit up and clack the shit. Like your shit has to weigh a certain amount and all, and I'm like she talks really like you've the you have the you have to pick up your own shit. So people are on the bed stealing shit.

SPEAKER_00 21:57

You've to make your shed quoted. I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna make it this month. Can I tap you for a bit of shit on this week? Oh fuck me. And they're not even speaking to either, so you can't you can't even there's nothing to shite out.

SPEAKER_01 23:17

Yeah. But not like I wouldn't be horse with Thailand and all. I know I'm saying because it just became so like touristy now. It's just like full of Brits and just full of like just people from here and running around, blocked, causing havoc. There's so many like nice things you could see in all China looks mad a lot.

SPEAKER_01 23:39

We're we're talking about going to Australia for three weeks, me and the wife. Where are you going? Maybe going to Zamber here. Oh yeah. Just because she's private now, she'll get she'll have maternity. It's probably the only time she'll get off work for three weeks um to do it. So we're considering doing that. But her man died. She was born in Australia, so she's an Australian citizen. And she was born in Brisbane. I'm borrowed from Brisbane. So I have to fucking divert the different fucking flying to Sydney. You've got to be Chinese guy at the border to help.

SPEAKER_00 24:11

50 quid me like.

SPEAKER_01 24:13

And then you'd be going to go 50 quid. No. But yeah, so but her task. Only Brisbane you're born from in? He uh Brisbane aye. Good service parties. I can go anywhere else. Because I have a few mates who live in the street and they're saying that's the same. When they're driving in, they're like if they're driving in the Brisbane or River from or they're coming from Melbourne to Brisbane or River, it's a big long drive. Oh, seriously? Because a few of the lads were from Melbourne when I was over there boxing the come off games and they drove up. It was like hours and hours drive. Like, but they could have just flew in, but they couldn't fly him. But they couldn't have been flagged up.

SPEAKER_00 24:53

What happens if they get caught? Would you get lifted or just sell them? No, no, somewhere else.

SPEAKER_01 24:59

Um and I think that's the situation with me. I have a fan and I had a penetrated, so fucking Have you been over or you've been over before then, have you?

SPEAKER_00 25:09

No, I was in Gold Coast for five weeks. Good good spot. It's the flight of power. I'm going in October here with Shane. And the flight I'm dreading it.

SPEAKER_01 25:17

Have you you've never been in though? No. I only I was the same as you. I really fucking dreaded the flight. Absolutely dreaded it. It's nothing. You sleep, you're like a tablet head the whole way.

SPEAKER_00 25:28

I was just like Was that's what I was gonna get, I was gonna get tablets done.

SPEAKER_01 25:30

We get like we weren't obviously we're not allowed to take tablets because we're drug testing all, but fuck me. I just the first flight you fly from here, I think we flew to Doha or something, and then Doha, it was like seven and a half hours. And then went from Doha to Australia which which was 14 hours. I was dreading it. I didn't know it was a half. And I was just like bang out like a light and more or less fucking slapped the whole way through.

SPEAKER_00 25:53

See, the longest flight I've been on was nine hours. That was to Vancouver the other week. Yeah. And that wasn't it actually wasn't too bad, to be honest, because I I got actual leg room, didn't get that upgrade, obviously, but the actual leg room was dead on, snapped a good bit, and then I I I stood up to go to the toilet, so I had the uh you know the wee earphones for the TV. Yeah. I was watching like fucking curb your enthusiasm or something, and there was an old boy and his and his wife sitting beside me, and went up to go to the toilet just before we put the earphones back, and your man started speaking to me. I thought fuck's sake. He's sitting down, he's from uh he's from Cavan or something, telling me all about his daughters, and then he goes, Something the Chinese over there. I go, Oh, right, okay, mate. I that's fine. I don't know what you want me to say to this. And he was telling me, show me photos of his daughters and all that. I'm going, mate, just never go back to sleep, please. Oh, fuck me. What's her in the group? She stays in Vancouver, does she? What's her name?

SPEAKER_01 26:43

Uh but all right, it's fucking it was alright. The flight always okay. Surprising, is that like it's obviously it's not like it was years ago. We you're so much entertainment now, you can watch what you need to watch on the on the screens. You can bring your own iPods, you can you can hear enough connect your Wi-Fi and I bring on flights and it's fucking sick.

SPEAKER_00 26:59

That's all the flights in America, all Wi Fi, you can charge your phone and all. I thought, well, you can only see Jad Flight and you can't even like stand up.

SPEAKER_01 27:05

No, for fuck's sake. You can barely sit down. But yeah, it's

Smoking Nostalgia And Growing Up

SPEAKER_01 27:10

mad. Like imagine years ago in the like the 70s really flying. And you could smoke smoke.

SPEAKER_00 27:14

That's the matter. I because you don't you don't have them anymore. But I remember being younger, remember you used to have the ice trays in the seat still. You don't see any.

SPEAKER_01 27:20

I don't see them anymore. Someone's out of business, fuck. Some way the ice trays business are getting a tick. It'd be fucking horrendous if you could sell smoking flights. Fuck me.

SPEAKER_00 27:29

Don't get me wrong, I like a wee vap nine again on a flight like that. I just hold it in. Oh aye.

SPEAKER_01 27:34

But uh the like when you think back, they've been like smoking back in the day, uh just smoking everywhere. You never thought there would come a time where you like I you never uh thought how much damage it was until it stopped, and then I look back and go, what the fuck?

SPEAKER_00 27:50

There's a there's a in Amsterdam Airport and like when you're leaving there, there's uh a smoking like it's like a small inside and it's fucking bouncing. It's actually because I smoked at the time whenever we were there, and I went in there and I thought, it's actually put me off figs for life. I think it's rotten. Smelling them now, but as well, like the smell of figs turns me a wee bit. We're seeing if uh if you could smoke in bars and all, it would just be. I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 28:12

Smell of smoke and fucking people just like everywhere, like I used to box like in a wee club show. Say I was eight or nine or ten boxing on a wee club show up in fucking East Belfast, and there's just people smoking place covering smoke and going like that. Something good about that, but there is as well.

SPEAKER_00 28:27

If you walk in, big smoky room full of boxing money, money getting thrown about.

SPEAKER_01 28:32

We were but I was I was somewhere recently, and someone just sparked the fake up when he was in a bar and I was out. I remember saying that someone going, I can't just spark the fag up, and he just didn't cry.

SPEAKER_00 28:43

He was like I feel like people wouldn't even know what to do. Like a poem wouldn't even know, like, is he stupid? What year is he thinking it? Well if you did wake up from a coma for a combo from like 2005 and you go to the bar for fake. I know. I was supposed to be going for a pint as well.

SPEAKER_01 29:02

Fucking message getting in from it. Like it obviously when you look back at stuff like that, I actually got wee bit of nostalgia coming in the car. I was driving up first time ever. Uh Maniac 2000, I'm on my radio. I was like, maniac 2000. Do you know I've never This is why I got nostalgia because I've never don't think I've ever listened to that song in my car or my earphones. I've only ever listened to that song on a nightclub. Yeah. Or like on the TV years ago and like used to watch like fucking I don't even know what channels it was, like box or something. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_00 29:38

The box and it was like a music channel. If someone was walking about with that in their earphones, but you think I know must be something else you listen to there.

SPEAKER_01 29:46

You pull up at the traffic, you just turn it down, and then when those are there and there's the heat's fucking roasting side like turn it down, someone probably go. Fuck me.

SPEAKER_00 29:55

I think in the car, maybe okay, if you're going out, say you're going out somewhere for a couple of beers, yeah, and then I would understand at the end, but if it's like a Wednesday afternoon and you're driving about, you're going to be.

SPEAKER_01 30:04

So I think we're talking about Schmicks earlier, that reminds me of like that's like Belfast. Like Belfast. I feel like Belfast, the only people that listen to that song or something, but obviously not, but I just feel like it.

SPEAKER_00 30:15

Smics are different now, but though I think. Like if you look at a smic back in like the early 2000s and all, it's always tracks and everything. See now, smicks are wearing like 400 pound tops and like all these clothes and they've got the slick back and everything.

SPEAKER_01 30:27

Carry a cone, kids carry a cone. A comb? A cone just coming to her. I see kids all the time walking around with like a wee beep up or a comb all the time. And I'm like, fuck.

SPEAKER_00 30:35

We're saying old school smic would bother you if you had a comb.

SPEAKER_01 30:38

100%, 100%, big time. You're cold comb. Purry out of the ass button-ups and fucking cock sportif jumper. Nothing matched, it was just like all those random stuff they got, like Henry Lloyd jumper and a pair of rounder things.

SPEAKER_00 30:51

I haven't seen Le Cox sportif in years. Is it still going?

SPEAKER_01 30:54

That's a good question. For you to rock out and we free shelf sportif.

SPEAKER_00 30:59

Fucking bring it back.

SPEAKER_01 31:01

There was loads of good ones, like when you think about it, like Lee Cox sportif, because they always had like good colours, like mixed mixed colours. They did the France kits and all, didn't they? Uh huh. The football kits. Done Man City kits as well for real. And then you had like Carlotte. Don't think Carlotti exists anymore.

SPEAKER_00 31:15

Carlotte, I don't think I remember that one. I remember like Cabrini. Cabrini. McKenzie. I think you do see the old McKenzie.

SPEAKER_01 31:20

McKenzie still hangers about all right, JD, you see on Mackenzie. Uh and then but they were like, because they hadn't changed price from from my immunity in fact.

SPEAKER_00 31:33

I remember my mass at me to school and uh it was all like in first year we did like a residential trip. I was away to like someplace Ganaway, do you like an activity centre? You stay over and all the lost travel or something like that. Oh my man sent me in a fucking no-fair track suit. I got absolutely tortured for it. Big grey, like it was skulls and all down it.

SPEAKER_01 31:51

I got absolutely tortured. We always I like I didn't I didn't own a pair of jeans until I was about like what you know my man I used to buy me jeans like Easter time and Christmas jeans and like a Fred Parry top and a pair of like unless they go out for the dinner or that on the holiday. I remember getting a pair of rockport boots, brown rockport boots, and they were like the goat. And I was like, fuck me, they were like 100 quid. I got a pair of rockport boots and I could not believe it. And everyone was like, Where'd you get them? Where'd you get them? I was like, makeup in there. What were they like Timberlines? They were brown, they were like, oh, like big, oh like almost like Timberlands. But they were the goat back in the day, like all the older ones had them. They were definitely like drug dealers back then. Like sound blow, but they were all like I was like, fuck me. I felt like I was the man. And then I ruined my school shoes, like racked them playing football. My man was always giving off me about racking my school shoes. So I just went, fuck, I don't even want to tell her that I really so I just got the the rock port boots that were brown and painted them or black, rocking in the school with them. I literally got a permal and just coloured the big brown boots in front.

SPEAKER_00 33:04

It's not click on it.

SPEAKER_01 33:06

She never said that was used to just walk straight in up a stairs she wouldn't want and I got her, like you know what I mean? Straight in up a stairs, shoes off, and that was me waiting.

SPEAKER_00 33:16

Straighty brown boots.

SPEAKER_01 33:18

I always just had to carry a permal with me, just keep tapping it up.

SPEAKER_00 33:21

Do you know what you get like for the leather shoes, the polyclub? I've never heard a permanent market called a permal before. Have you not? No, I didn't know.

SPEAKER_01 33:32

People used to go to maybe a permal. I go, I hear Matsies everywhere. Write your name all the fucking area. I used to have to change. See, and like see where I grew up, I had like fucking five nicknames. Like one of the lads used to call me McGum. McGum? Don't know why. Like still this day, there's no like explanation as to why my name was called McGum. And then like when I played like for a football team, it was like Smailer, because my dad's called Smaller. So everyone was like Smaller, young Smailer. And then the mates I ran about with all the time was used to call me McComb, just like McComb was a sacking name. And then uh other people like Fanda would just call me Sean, you know what I mean? So it was like I had I used to write when I used to write Mansies in the area all the year, I used to write McGum T L, which is turf lodge, 2K4 or 2K6 for 236. That was my Mancy everywhere. But I had to write McGum. McMancy, like a Manson, like a Manson.

SPEAKER_00 34:32

I've never heard them call Magic. So we call these slang to our slang.

SPEAKER_01 34:34

I don't know, it was like this is where it's fell fast. So we called her Mancy, right? And that's why I I wrote I used to write McGum because I used to spray painted her big permo on the wall, McGum T L 2T6. Because I didn't want my dad to know it was McCombs or Sean or like who the fuck's that? So it was like a way of hearing it for my dad, but everyone else in there in the hood was me, you know what I mean? I don't know why that was so cool.

SPEAKER_00 34:57

I've never heard them called Matsies before. A Mancy, yeah, I mean a Mancy with your permo.

SPEAKER_01 35:01

And then like because like on your books or your school bag, it was Matis, all of your school bag or all of your your school books, I have Mansions.

SPEAKER_00 35:07

Is that where you grew up? There are floods? I had a mate whenever I was like 15 or something, or maybe we were younger. I was mates with no, probably was 15, I was mates with Fal from up there, and uh we were at a concert one night in Oster Hall, and my ma was giving him a lift home. My ma's never driven an east bell fast or wheel spell fast in her life at this point. And she goes, Oh, I was getting all nervous. And I goes, Big girls, you're just fucking driving up any other road, drop them off, pull out, Joy Reddit straight past, getting chased by the cops. My ma goes, Seymouth, you're not coming up here at the road, we're never giving cricket lift home ever again.

SPEAKER_01 35:37

It was very big, like back in it, early two sounds like and Joe Reddit's joy.

SPEAKER_00 35:41

I used to love watching videos on them. And I know you're not meant to, I know you're not meant to encourage it.

SPEAKER_01 35:45

There's something about it like only I was in the background, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 35:51

And then I because it was whenever I my my granny got a laptop, and then I got you she showed me how to use YouTube, and I just started googling Belfast. And the only things that were coming up were rats and Joe Red. And I used to get upset watching the ratting videos think that's gonna happen, and then calm myself down a bit of Joe Red.

SPEAKER_01 36:06

But it used to be like I was really, really popular on Turf Rostic back in the day. Like everybody, like anyone who was popular, anyone who was, someone was a joy reader, like that's how I used to look at it.

SPEAKER_00 36:17

My mate, he went to isn't there two St Mary's? There's CBS and C BG. Christian Brothers Creek Cross Street was one of one of my kids, he grew up in St. James's and he went to the grammar school one, but his brother went to the the other one, and he said, uh, like my school's full of fruits and all this. Like my big boy, he goes into school and they're all they're all joking about who stole the most cars at the weekend. I went to school, there's no fucking fights or anything.

SPEAKER_01 36:40

That's with the grammar at the grammar school. But I was the same. Like I used to want to go to CBS because my brothers went to CBS, but I went to an Irish school. Right. And I used to be like, Well, fucking, I want to go to an Irish school. I want to go to CBS. My dad just would never let me go. Like, probably a way of decision now when you look back on it, like, but yeah, it was you still speak Irish?

Irish Language And Barcelona Backlash

SPEAKER_01 36:59

My wife speaks Irish and the child goes in Irish school, so it's like it's just in the family. I lost a lot of it, like you know, when I left school, I was I didn't speak Irish for like probably seven or eight years. Like it's no reason to speak it because I wasn't around anybody. Like I was away boxing the whole time, and it was like me, Patty Barnes, McConnell, and Tommy McCarthy. Like I was we short around because I was four hours. So it was no and Tommy's very good Irish, he has he's good Irish, so like I was learning him, and he has a really good like memory, so he always rem remembered it, and then he like he would say wee bits and bobs with Tommy, but that was the head of it. And then when I bumped into like a teacher from school, he would speak to me in Irish, and then I'd be like, uh like it was broken Irish. You know what I mean? And it was it was in Barson, but then over like a course of like seven or eight years it went away, and I was like fucking then I met my wife and they'd done like a wee TV series and all me on BBC, and over the course of filming that series it all came back. And then now because the child speaks it, my wife speaks it, and it's like a much.

SPEAKER_00 37:58

You speak around the house now as well.

SPEAKER_01 38:01

Just to keep him fucking.

SPEAKER_00 38:02

We knew uh I one of my mates went with a girl and she that's the way her family would have been, just speaking around the house and everything. I watched a Transformers video on TikTok the other day, Transformers in Irish, but it's like all sort of fuck, it's like Optimus Prime just speaking fully. I don't I don't speak it like I haven't a clue what he was saying.

SPEAKER_01 38:16

Yeah, it's mad because they heard when we were in school years and years ago, like now it's so like popular now that people are doing it, like obviously kneecap were a big part of the property, and just people just wanting to be just wanting to learn it. But we were in school and and my PE teacher had a ring tongue and it was no jump around, jump up, jump up, and get down. But he had it in Irish, and we were like, How the fuck did you get that? And I was like, Lamb heart, lamb heart, and I was like, How does he have it? Where did he get it? I don't know where he's got. You used to have to record the radio to get it, like get a ring tone on your tune on your phone. I was like, does he sing at himself? But um I bet I remember being like, Where the fuck did he get that in Irish? How did he transfer that like chat GPT can do it like that? Oh well, we get some things wrong, like, doesn't it? Yeah, even when you say like some it's terminology is different, so it's like it's different, and then different parts of Ireland speak different parts of Irish.

SPEAKER_00 39:21

Is there like I was gonna say, like, is there different dialects? Because obviously, like if you go to Spain, like there's uh Castilian, Catalonian, fucking there's a couple of other ones that don't know what they are, but it's all like slightly different. Yeah, where it's but that's not really like that in English though. I know. Do you know what I mean? Where fair enough you'll have different accents, like like a culture slang, but it's not different meaning. A full different language where there's different like grammar rules and all. Yeah, yeah. The modest is ever see the Basque language? The Basque, ah, that doesn't have any relation to anyone, like it's just its own language because there's no like origins or anything. It's modest. Where the fuck that comes from?

SPEAKER_01 39:51

Who created that? Like, who even creates that like in the says I guess is what we're all gonna speak about.

SPEAKER_00 39:57

Anyone else not speaking it? They're not gonna understand that.

SPEAKER_01 40:00

It's crazy, isn't it? We went the uh we were in Barcelona, me and the wife last year, and we were walking down the week street and they're just throwing water out. All the Catalonians, I didn't know it was a thing. My wife was having a meeting. Everybody, some woman on the wheel turn fucked me, get drunk, get proper dressed.

SPEAKER_00 40:17

I was like, fuck, and she just like you meant it was like a religious thing, like it was holy water or something.

SPEAKER_01 40:24

They're just throwing water like fucking. I was like, what the fuck? That woman soaked in there. I was like, that's a thing, did you not know what? And we just like underneath it didn't catch us. Uh but I was like, that's fuck, I didn't know what was the thing. She was like, yeah, I hate it.

SPEAKER_00 40:34

It's the hate tourism. And there was like they had protests about them, but it's because the landlords buy like up all the houses and give them their A B and B and then and that's like the housing market is fucked. Um but they were out protesting it, and they had like signs up being like tourists go home. That's what tourists do all the time. Go home. Run a home where they're all right. They're not there, they're not there to stay like but I we never saw them whenever we went, although we went in like October time, so I didn't I don't think it's probably like the the attack of tourists more sort of in the summer when it's hot like I think we went May or something that was roasting like that's why you went to Kazakhstan. You're like, I've had enough of them. I go where there's no tourists.

SPEAKER_01 41:13

Yeah. 100% Foxy. But uh the like the crame rates are very high in Barcelona, I think for like pickpocketing or pickpocketing is.

SPEAKER_00 41:22

I know did you ever see M videos? Attenzione pickpocket, you ever seen these? It's like people go round, there's uh mostly in like Italy, but they do them in Spain as well, and they just go around and they like harass the pickpockets.

SPEAKER_01 41:34

Oh, yes, I think. And they're walking around and following them and all.

SPEAKER_00 41:38

Or they've got water pistols like the M1s, they've got water pistols with this on the scammers, yeah, and then they crack up at them.

SPEAKER_01 41:43

Brennan, that's good, like, because if people are people are down God's work, our Lord's work.

SPEAKER_00 41:46

But I I don't think like see if someone you wouldn't even need to pickpocket me. See if you come up and threaten me. I'd just give you a phone, like you fucking pickpocket me, you being dead. David's cheers 50p in there for you.

SPEAKER_01 42:04

This is fucking cruel, like, but all the lads were on with like a stag over and a river was a fella sitting out begging. And uh mate, my mate walked over with like two two pound coin. He's like, Yeah, and your mom's like, I don't know. He's like, he's like a few two pounds. I was like, Oh, you cruel bastard. And he walked away. He's like that. He didn't give it. I said, Give me it to we all pushed him, pushed him. He's like, fuck off. And I was like, Give me it, and then he at me made him go back there and give him a two-pound coin. He was heartbroke. I was like, You're a cruel too. I actually generally didn't know he was gonna do it. I thought he was just gonna give it here. I was yeah, your man I got the two pound coin. Here he goes, Have you got two two pounds chains? And I went, My man, no chains. And he walked away, started laughing. I was like, Oh, you cruel contain and give him it fucking he gave him it in the end, so

Street Scams And Firestick Chaos

SPEAKER_01 42:50

God knows.

SPEAKER_00 42:50

When we were in uh San Francisco weeks, two fellas come up to me, and I had just done like a big bus tour, and they came up to me and they were like, I've I've heard of this like scam happening before, Joe. They come up to you and they say we're doing like we're rappers, these are CDs or whatever. But I was just too fucking awkward to get out of this situation. So the guys and there's one of them that doesn't speak, he's good fool, like gold teeth in, but he's not speaking. And the other guy, he's he's doing all the talking, he's saying something like his sister's not well, and he's trying to get money. He's a he's a rapper, he's got this CD. And he goes, Ma man, he's like, my man, if if I can if you can just spare me anything, anything, I goes, man. I've no I've no changes or I've no notes or I've nothing on me. I've only phone. He goes, I've got an apple pay machine, it was bollocks. He whipped out a fucking cord machine, and I was like, he goes, How much? I go, I'll give you ten dollars, so well, five dollars each or whatever. And he goes, make it twelve for the tax. And I go, Alright, I'm not the one, it shouldn't be on me to pay tax here. Do you know what I mean? You're not you're the one in the street. But he put it through his twelve, and I go, okay, he gives me the CD, and then the other one, he whips out one. They've both got their own card machine. I'm going, oh no, it was for one, it was for both of you. I didn't know it was and he goes, nah nah, he's got a C D too, so then I get his C D.

SPEAKER_01 43:54

What went up the bed, must have flicked on Babe Station. But I had my own mobile at this point as well, and flicked on Baby Station. You tax Babe Station and they would send you photos or whatever. So I taxed it, thinking nothing will ever come of this. And you tax the number, and it's just ditties, it's just a photo of ditties come through your phone. Then I forgot my phone. I I left it at McGrang's house by accident, and he dropped it back around to the house and made him answer the door and he goes, I think you forgot something, but he must he must have left the the photo of the ditties up.

I went to his wedding and he owns the brewery turn and like the bullhouse brewery turn and butcher. Right. And they had the wedding in the brewery. And it was class. And I was drinking it and it was it was cool, like it was But I'm not a big fan of it, to be fair. But um I'd rather just drink a lager like a couple of years.

SPEAKER_00 50:45

And uh I had a taxi driver the other day. And I said to my dad, You love this guy, he's a winker. Because he kept going. I'd said to them about I drink up in the tons, and he goes, See, you're the type of guy who pays a certain price for a certain pint, and I thought, here we go, this is brilliant. And I go, right? Because I was I was going out for dinner or something, and I'd said to him, Oh, like, yeah, you may bring your wallet going somewhere like that. I said that and he goes, I don't mind paying a bit actually for the finer things. Thought, mate, come on now, let me out here, I'll get the buses. It's actually alright, don't worry about it. And he was saying about the the craft players, but like my dad, he gets it and he goes, Try that one, try that one. I go, just give me a pent of harp.

SPEAKER_01 51:18

I know a pent of harp. Pent of harp, something basic, simple like that. It's too late. But it's it's massive in London, like craft.

SPEAKER_00 51:26

It's different here because like the bars are all are like under a monopoly of like two companies where over there all their bars are sort of like independent.

SPEAKER_01 51:33

Yeah, so they have like every type of fucking do one in London called Jubel.

SPEAKER_00 51:38

You get it some places now, it's like peach flavoured, but it's like a normal lager, just the way that it's in it. It's fucking unbelievable.

SPEAKER_01 51:44

I was there we were there from like one or two o'clock and then left at eight and my dad was bingoed. I was alright, I was steaming enough, but my dad could barely walk.

Yes, in uh Australia in October, and then I'll be with Willie just before that as well.

SPEAKER_01 52:37

Do you hear who do you prefer to remember, Willie or Shane?

SPEAKER_00 52:41

I would never answer that. I would never answer that on camera or live on earth. It's two different experiences because Willie will drink. Shane won't drink. But with Shane, it's good, like he he sort of lets you do it. He doesn't it's not that Willie doesn't let you do it. Um but like when we're in America, it was like you just do go do what you want, where at least with Willie got a few beers in, like, yeah, 100%.

SPEAKER_01 53:01

I know what that's supposed to be different, like obviously uh you understand that because Shane's like very professional the way he does things, and he uh he likes to he has a big routine the way he likes to do things and also.

And I came into the room late and he was like they're like American psycho with a fucking eye mask on the mouth tape, and I go, Is he trying to fucking kill himself here? What's going on? Oh, he seems like that and then it's like it's like it's like time there's breathing and all just to get to sleep. I said with the mouth tape, because he he he puts the mouth tape on and that's him goes to sleep. And I say, Well, if you're lying in bed, do you give yourself like a wee like 10 minutes of mouth breathing time? Do you where you go on your phone before you go to bed a wee bit? Yeah. Do you ever do that? And he goes, No, no, I'm just straight in the bed, straight to sleep. Is it a killer? Cut that out, cut that out. Cut that out. I actually love Shane Thought's great. It's like North Korea. Shane Todd's brilliant.

SPEAKER_01 54:01

I really needed a drink. I was like, oh shit, I haven't thought this through. And then there were times I was like waking up in the middle of the night and there's no moof tape on there. I was like, what the fuck? I turned around and stuck in my wife's heart. How's it coming off? So god stop you from snoring. Nah, not really. Well she she set it dead for a bit and then bang, just back to snoring again. I snore like fuck. It's not happening again.

He has been for the last couple of years, so like he's in his own room, then he runs in it like three in the morning to see if you says, So you're landing on the bed or stay on, and I'm lying like a fucking like I'm lying on an iron board. Because I lay on my back, and when I've started to laugh it back, is that that's when I snore? I'm like So she's like, take it back, shut, you don't snore. And I'm lying. Smoking. I can't win.

What what the what like why are you waking me up to make me go in the all-room when you're awake anyway? Just go on in. You know what I mean? Like with the old night, I put this up my Instagram the other day, and I'm like a no, like we see women, they're like bitchy and they all like talk about each other and all. I put a video up the other day saying about Dervela, like she's eight months pregnant, hardly pregnant, she's working two jobs, she's flat out singing still, and she's flat out doing her TV producing and she's busy. She comes in, she's singing the Jagin Addle the other night. Say 10 to 12. It's home for about half twelve, twenty one. I'm lying out cold, I'm up for the gym at six in the morning. So she comes in. I just craving the vice at the minute because she's pregnant. She walks in, jumps into bed, lies on her phone, I'm lying asleep. Next thing I heard. I'm laying. What the fuck are you doing?

Four minutes are pits over each other. Go and get her ice, you should be. And then all these stories of like, oh, I used to be the same. Just the amount of women who crave ice when they're when they're pregnant, it's unbelievable. There must be like, there's a couple under comments like this saying, like, oh, I used to do this when I was pregnant, and I I used to make my husband go to a bar at 12 o'clock at night and get me ice. Weave an ice machine in the fridge. So I was like, fuck well, the last time my wife's gonna do is send me to a bar because I'm an alcoholic. There's no way I'd be coming back. I'd actually be going, Do you want me to go and get the ice at 12 o'clock so I can get her fucking pin? Not back till three in the morning. The next morning I'm gonna be like fucking but like the amount of people just going like leave her alone, leave her alone. She's entitled to do whatever she wants. You can't baby.
