But on the stage, when everyone's phones are discreetly tucked away, we can kind of be a bit loose.

1:46Yeah. I think we're going to say things that we wouldn't say here. I'm definitely 40 % more unhinged on stage. Yeah. Which you're going to love.

2:28There's tables. There's tables, which makes me, that's what I want. I refuse. We saw so many venues. I was like, no. I want people to have a little drink, have a little table, have a little swish around. It's not just... And there are venues as well that support acts and shows that should be supported. Yeah. And we just happen to be one of them. Yes. See you there.

2:55Mark's just taking a little selfie of himself here now. The hair. You're always troubled by the hair when we start. It's very windy outside. Yeah, it's freezing. Today, and I've been blown around. You're looking very autumnal today, I have to say. Describe the fashions. I would describe it as dad in an ad. Yeah. Picking up his kids with leaves on the ground. Yeah. That's what you're like, you know. Maybe you're going to Leyland's. Yeah. But like you're paying someone else to do it I always say that You might be picking up the paint for the builders But you're not painting But the fashion So we have brown trousers Have a very warm jumper It's a cosy jumper Did I wear this before?

3:33No I don't think so Cosy jumper First time it's featured And I have a fashion tip That I saw on the internet Because you want to have a little peekaboo Of the t-shirt Coming in On top of the jumper But I find Often the peekaboo in the neck disappears under the neck of the jumper. So a little secret is you put, you don't find this? What are you talking about? I mean, The peekaboo, what's the peekaboo? So this tiny white little bit of my t-shirt that's peeking up. So just for people at home, right, that are not watching this on YouTube. So you've got a little polo neck on. It's not like a neck polo neck.

4:10Yeah. You've got a little t-shirt underneath it which you're describing as your peekaboo. Yeah. And your, your, what's your angle? What are you trying to do with it? I want to have a millimetre of the t-shirt peeking up on top of the jumper. See, I don't like that. But it gives you a little bit of colour because otherwise it looks like I'm in the nude because the jumper is the same colour as my... When I saw you coming down the road today, I thought you'd no top on. In the nude. Yeah. So, but often the t-shirt slips in underneath the jumper and then you can't see it. So, put the t-shirt on back to front.

4:38Oh, lovely. Isn't that good? Because the back is higher than the front. But do you not feel like someone's dragging you backwards then? Oh yeah, I'm all upside down. Walking backwards. But it's a great little trick Is there a tag in your neck? There's no tag in the neck Okay you got rid of that Yeah There was none on it actually Okay So I was lucky Okay good That's my news Oh very good Thanks for listening That's the end anyway Hope you enjoyed yourselves Christmas is here Oh don't Well I mean it's not really here But it's almost here I can't You're still in your office I'm not ready yet now Christmas is all Panic for me It's all these bloody shows And getting things ready And booked and stuff There's an awful Funny like Sharmark, that's everybody Anxiety I came to the conclusion this week That I'm eternally busy I'm always going to be busy I'm always going to be stressed And to actually just kind of Just enjoy it Do you know?

Cox ASMR Lovely Yeah Oh they're so good Have you ever thought about getting into that? What? Are you already into it? Into Mark T. Cox ASMR I know you'd be kind of trialing a little bit In the podcast In case you haven't noticed I have noticed The content out there with audio aspects Oh really? Oh yeah Like Cameo? Yeah Yeah? There'd be content there with an audio element to it A solely audio element? No Audio visual content Audio visual, visual, visual Yeah So I went for a big walk And I went to Battersea I like looking at rich people in Battersea Lots of people wearing beige clothes Walking small dogs and I was listening to Panic at the Disco.

16:56Very good. Don't know why that's a matter. Back to your emo times. Yeah, it's a bit of like, what am I doing? What would 17-year-old 20 years ago, Mark, be thinking about this? So, actually, this is a good exercise. So, what would Mark be doing at 17 right now? Right now, in November, I was in University College Dublin. I was in my dorms in campus and I was probably not going to class and drinking bottles of wine. Okay, great, right? So, that 17-year-old Mark, right, who's just after finishing his... Just turned 18. Third bottle of Blue Nun, right? Yeah. He's sitting there. Yeah. Now, what would he think of you sitting across from this guy from Mallow in your lovely beige jumper?

17:40I'd say shocked he's still alive. Oh, God. To be totally honest. All right, yeah, Grant. Like, no joke. Very surprised. Very, very... Still going. Moe's open looking at you Oh my god Still here Somehow Still going You're off the drink Off the drink What would you say Tim? Get off the drink Get off the drink Get off the drink and go to class Have you after eights Can you have after eights if you're fond of the drink? Alcoholic I'd say they're fine yeah Yeah yeah Yeah I'd say that's okay They might give you the taste though There's always like a Bailey's liqueur at Christmas And there's a big panic Someone gives you a Bailey's a cure and they're like, oh Jesus, what's this going to kick off?

18:27It's fine. They're not actually drink. So yeah, I went into my little emo collections then of like Fall Out Boy and all these things. The Killers. I started listening to The Killers during the week. I don't know why, but that was a very big album. The Killers are a little cringe for me. I know. Do you know? But I don't mind them. Imagine if you found the music without them being really famous. Like, it's really good, but because they're so popular, you're kind of inclined to cringe and hate them. So yeah, that was my week. Imagine that. Like, when our parents were our age, they could listen to, I don't know, maybe they were like listening to The Eagles or like, you know, David Bowie or The Beatles, you know?

19:14And then we're listening to Some 41 and Limp Bizkit. we had a terror of a time at the turn of the century like I was into all that new metal stuff I loved it I was having a great time but there was that I don't know if you maybe you liked it I don't know that boy band girl band era like where it was the worst give me examples like it wasn't exactly Spice Girls it was the bit after that oh yeah where we were just in the absolute deluge of bands trying to recreate that like a band this isn't a band but like I don't know hot tops or the the babies or yeah and they never went anywhere they never went anywhere but they had some they had some you know they'd appear on the like your children's television program or something yeah you know and they'd be wearing like a leather gilet or something and one guy would have blonde hair and and you just see these bands coming up every two months and the music was crap the next big thing yeah and they could have been but they just didn't they didn't make it I had a phase this is going to be controversial now for the listeners I had a very Intense phase Of listening to Korn Korn Spelt Backwards K No no K-O R is backwards Backwards R-N Yeah Got very deep there For a while Very intense The screaming Yeah I don't know why What's your favourite Korn song?

20:35Oh I couldn't tell you the names Because they all kind of They're all quite similar No? Yeah They kind of They blend into each other I'm struggling I can imagine you As like an emo I can't imagine you as like a heavy metal kind of emo. I know, but the song's actually kind of nice. If they stop shouting, they're kind of nice. Would you ever sing a nice song? Would you sing a nice song? And sometimes they do sing a nice... You know, we were at it, I'm not going to mention any of the names, but we were at a gig and it was an amazing band. Like it was an ensemble of people, right? Yeah. And they came together to play at an Irish centre, not the Irish centre, but at an Irish centre.

21:11Yes. All these young people playing this amazing music and they all came together to put this on. and the majority of people that attended this gig were quite old, right? Definitely being into the elderly bracket. And so they're playing all these songs like Bewitched and all these fun songs and Boyzone and Westlife and everyone's loving it and a little bit of undertones and stuff, right? It's great. And then one woman who decided that she was the manager of the whole day went up just in the tiny gap and said to my friend who was the lead singer, he just goes up and goes, Will you please play a good Irish song.

21:46There's a lot of people here listening and they're waiting for it the whole night. I was like, where do you get off? What does she want, like? She wants how it's always been. She wants to keep it the same. I was dead in a bush when the English came. You know, it's all that crap. She wants fields of Athenry. She wants yeah, the old staples. Same old, same old. You have some news from back home as well. before we pop into that. Let me take a break. No, we won't. Oh. Will we? Ah, no. Nah, fuck it. No. We, no, you have some news from home, but I was reading, I sometimes dip in and read some of the newspapers from back home, right?

22:28Yeah. I'm a little bit more disconnected than I was. I'm usually reading what's happening in the UK, right? Yeah. That's where I live. But I was reading some of the stuff back home and holy moly, Irish news reports on the smallest stuff as national news. Oh, yes. Like, it's bonkers. like I don't know like oh a small dog in Galway was found safe and sound on the bus to Dublin you know like what are we or a woman in Formoy who was thought murdered was actually just asleep yeah and it's just and it's just all that and then in the middle of it like oh Putin has you know oh that's fine don't worry about that just ignore that oh yeah and people are talking about it because then I'll talk to my I'll talk to my like my brothers and sisters or something or like my parents and they go, oh, did you hear about the dog?

23:15He was on the bus going up to Dublin and they didn't catch him until Portleet. And you're just like, what are you talking about? It goes around. There's a lot of talk at home about buses and buses, new buses, and bus routes being taken off or timetables changing. That's always a headline. Because it affects people's lives. But it's always kind of big news. Yeah, it is. The news from home is the town of Ennis is torn asunder. Oh no. And there's a lot of disgruntled business owners in the town because they are pedestrianising the streets and they're digging up the roads. Where will we park the car?

23:50How will I park the car? Or where are you supposed to park the car? How will I come in? I might as well go down to Limerick. Oh my God. I might as well go down to Limerick. The amount of people that the amount of times I go into a shop and park my car to run in for something is off the charts. Right outside the door. Yeah. So, everyone's disgruntled. They've spent loads of money. Like, it's really nice. It's very, I'm very impressed. Like, I'd be given out about the design quality in Ireland sometimes but they've gone with like lovely stones and it's really good but it's taken about three years so it's a bit of a oh right okay I understand so they have roadworks there the whole time non-stop outside everyone's shop seems to be every shop that does absolutely decimate for about three years that decimates the footfall like the little the joke now is sure you don't know where you're supposed to go because you go in and then there's a road closed that wasn't closed yesterday so this is it's really it's kind of bonded the town bonded the town all the shops are closed but it's bonded the town everyone's up in arms it'll be really nice it's like they've finally got it all personalized and there's no shops left every shop's gone yeah that's so bad so all all the all the newspapers and stuff are all these councillors saying like just trust us like it'll be lovely just hang on hang on no it's got to be okay absolutely not and it will when it's finished but now they have to stop for Christmas so they kind of have to pause and tidy up and fill in a few other holes and just put it on stand-by.

25:11Bring in Brazilians. They'll have it done in a day. No, they want to drag it out because they want to get the money. They want to get the rent. Did you see what they did in Cork to the park? No. To the Peace Park in Cork. It's the one in the middle of the city. No. Which was a park. It had a lot of green area. Like, it was just like a simple park but it was cool. Like, it's where a lot of people would sit out in the grass. Yeah. Holy God, what they've done to the place. Stones. All concrete, all flat. Concrete, this big kind of, what is like, I don't know it looks like kind of a brutalist structure like a kind of a cover An old bit of an old art Yeah and it's like but it's like you know I saw it straight away and I was like do you know what's going to happen in that?

25:47Everyone's going to piss them out They will You know like it's just like why did you change the park? It cost 7 million or something Oh yes Mac what I could do with 7 million Alan Titchmarsh and all them right they did it they transported they turned gardens around Here we go on that What they did in Grownforce whatever it was called they come in and they get it done in 48 hours and they'd spend 60 quid and they'd have a pond, a pat and a load of border flowers. They spent 7 million quid on it and it looks crap. Yeah, but they have to do something. They have to make work for the year. Put in a load of flowers.

26:21I know. But it'll be lovely now when it's done but there's a lot of upset. What, in Ennis? It's gone on. It's gone on for a while now. What's the biggest shop in Ennis? Like biggest independent shop? You still have them? Oh God, there's the cash company. The cash company? It's like an old department store kind of thing. Absolutely love that. There's loads of chemists. Jesus, every second shop is a chemist. I don't know why. Why do you think that is? I don't know why that is. I don't know. But they do gifts as well. They're kind of places to browse. Yeah. It's quite popular. So we're waiting to see.

26:55Yeah, we're waiting to see. But then on top of that then, there's a new offering outside the town. They built a new service station. called the Banner Plaza. Oh, wow. And this, this is like Las Vegas. This is big news because it's kind of come, because the town is so annoying you can't drive around and now this new big like American style food court with like loads of different restaurants and all the women on roller skates. Yeah, little shops and little playgrounds and it's very nice and you can drive your car, pull up to the door and go in and let the children run around and everyone's going.

27:37It's like an attraction. It's the same people who built Obama Plaza. Did you know about that? Yeah. Barack Obama's memorial service station in the middle of Ireland. Right next to the George Bush water park. Yeah. So it's, yeah. I have to say, we've got London brand now, right? So we're looking at that going like, it's basically a big glorified petrol station, right? Yeah. With a McDonald's in it. Supermax. We're going like, what are they at? Because it's all just get you to spend more money right that's all this stuff is yeah but like i i remember being like living in mallow and just absolutely could not wait to get in the car and drive to mcdonald's oh my god like it was the best it was the best thing ever if you were a child if you saw this place it's so big it's so bright there's playgrounds everywhere and well i was referring to when i was about 23 but but there's like screens so you can order and it's like if you had kids why would you go into the town it's such a hassle so it's a big worry what would you get mcdonald's oh i'd go i'd well i don't think we're allowed to mcdonald's anymore i mean what would you get in supermax so we actually do you know what the boycott uh has closed the starbucks in dalston two starbucks in dalston really gone do you know there is a coffee company that's similar to them, right?

28:56Definitely not them. Oh. But what they do, and they did it in Cork, allegedly a coffee company like them did this in Cork, is they'll open up several locations. Oh, you said this, yeah. And they'll operate some of them at loss. So everything. And then the other coffee places will close down and when the competition's gone, they'll close the ones that are loss making and keep one open. Maybe that's what they did. I don't know, but they're gone. But if I went to Supermax, Yeah. I'm an Irish. would you call it independent? I don't know. It's not a global thing anyway. I would go the whole hog I'd get the big just the big big box of chips.

29:33Big box of chips. I was down in we were down in Kinsale we went back to Ireland myself and Lisa and I was describing what a snack box is to her right? And she couldn't get her own thread. Basically it's box of chips got a drumstick and thai I think in her breast breasted chicken. It's amazing right? But the way we cook chips and stuff is just it's better. I'm sorry it's better in London. It is. But we got one of those down in Kinsale and she saw the drumstick and I said, do you want a bite of that? She said, no, no, I'm fine. And then she saw the drumstick and I was like, go on, have a bite of that.

30:03Oh, her world changed. Her world changed. She goes, it's falling off the bone. It's falling off the bone. Yeah, she wanted another one. Will we take a break? We take a break. Can I just mention something? Go ahead. My fame and celebrity has skyrocketed. I was invited to a VIP brunch as an influencer to an Irish restaurant in London. No way. I think I've made it, but I can't go. It's called Molly Max. Do you know this place? No. Down in, I don't know where it is, Southwark, somewhere south of the river. But they do all those bits. They do like snack box, but in a nice restaurant-y kind of way. What did they say to you?

30:40They said, you're very famous. We'd love to come and feed you. And I said, I can't go. I have to go somewhere else. I'm doing a show. You'd love that even more, I'd say. Oh, I couldn't possibly. Yeah, but my assistant would be in touch. Book me in. I'm opening up the service station. Yeah, I have to go. Okay, we'll take a break.
