#70 Mark and Denis organise a kissing event for Pride

25:49Denis:I know. Do you know what I mean? I know what was wrong with me. And they were all there for a week and I was, oh, busy. Depressed as shit going home then. Dragging in, dragging out. But it was so nice. My God, I loved it. And the wedding was the priests. The priests in Ireland need to shake it up. They need to, well, they need to stop being 100 years old. That's one way of putting it. Well. If that's your only complaint They did But we've no They're all so old And just I don't know This fella I'd say he was like 50 Maybe Maybe late 40s Young Kind of Did he come into the priesthood Later in life I bet he did I don't know He's young like I don't know He was cool And he was like He was doing it all But he was also Kind of given a wink Of like Do you know I know I don't believe in all of it Just like With us He's with This communion It's not really Jesus.

26:43He's with it. Yeah. Yeah. He didn't. Yeah. I just believed he was just a normal man who has a job and he, he believes and he loves his job. But no, no, Mark, can I take a little guess here? Huh?

26:55Denis:Was he a good looking priest? It's all right. It's all right. I wouldn't be. Was he a handsome priest? It's okay. Yeah. Would that have anything to do with you feeling like he was nicer? I suppose. But he was very funny. He was very like Like he did a selfie at the end And all the women were giggling Oh he's a guess And then he was kind of making little jokes He said like The best couples Contain three And then he was like I'm not suggesting now That you get adventurous The third is our lord But a funny little joke Never would have guessed Little joke Little joke there about About having a threesome On the church altar he wouldn't get it do you think he was trying to get in there soft launch himself as a third maybe he was squeezing in yeah I'd say he probably was do you think that's it yeah I think people are doing that a lot now riding priests uh no I don't think I think I think that was happening before no um no people are soft launching the thirds oh god yeah all the time oh yeah here's Julie comes to stay with us once a month Julie she comes in from New York yeah big Jules comes in yeah yeah yeah and why is she staying there no one knows yeah yeah pampas grass out in the front there's a bit of that there is isn't there but I think more so now than before you'd see it in groups of friends and you just pick up on god they're they're very friendly they're getting on and she doesn't seem to mind yeah they're getting on very well giggling or like you know old big jewels would sit down and Peter's hand would be on the chair oh what do you like we go way back yeah yeah yeah A bit of that Definitely A bit of that But I'd highly recommend Malta I didn't see anything How long would you say that for?

28:46Oh you could stay a week You could You could I didn't see many of the gays though I was I was sold a lie You told me this I know I think it's actually just like A safe Comfortable Place Where you don't Get destroyed by the government And you don't get killed Alright fair but it's not like which is a bonus but yeah they're not

29:09Denis:going swinging down the street yeah it's just like because you told me this that it was like you know what's Malton known for and I was like it's the unsinkable aircraft and you were like and it's like the gay you know capital it's capital of like queer rights I was like they're super religious there though but not but I think like this fellow was like they are but also carry on they don't hate people yeah which is easy isn't it it's actually quite easy tell me go back and tell me about the house? The house in the Hoover and all that. No, we were talking about compliments. Okay. Actually, do you know what happened?

29:42Denis:I was out. I did a bit of gardening. Oh my God, lads. I'm having the best time gardening. I finally convinced her to get some petunias for her garden. She was arguing that they were a little bit twee. How do they look? Petunias are, if you were entering into the Tidy Tones in Ireland, you would put hanging baskets of these all over the place. Purple? Purple, stripy, stripy purple and they hang over the basket and then they get a plaque for Tidy Tones. Do you know the ones? I know them. Really easy. if you want to get like a really colourful garden just bang these things in and they're cheap so anyway planted a million of these they're so nice they're flying in the nice weather and stuff but there's a lot of neighbours out and around and I was hosing the the garden and it made it started making a very rude noise oh a fart yeah it started going oh and I couldn't stop it I couldn't stop from doing it and I actually just gave up because I saw you know you'd see a little side eye because the fence is quite small yeah yeah yeah what are you going to do say that's not me not me that's not me that's the hose um but besides my farting hose um yeah compliments yes right so i noticed that when lisa complimented me about being the best hoover in the world i went off with such gusto hoovering i was buzzing yeah and then i realized now she's very good for compliments right she's great but I realized, God, I think men in particular are starved for compliments.

31:07Yeah.

31:08Denis:But then I was like, I can probably only apply that to straight men at the moment. Then I was wondering, what's it like over in your world? Like, do you receive a lot of compliments or are you starved as we are? Look at the face of them. I receive a lot of compliments. You receive a lot of compliments. but maybe I do yeah but maybe from people strangers right but if you were let's say getting off the because you have a strange like almost conveyor belt excuse me

31:47Denis:of fanboys and girls that are like you know saying oh I wouldn't mind if I or whatever but like life in general Can you speak for the peasants? Do gays like compliments or do they receive enough compliments? Do they receive compliments? I think so, yeah. A straight man is never going to compliment on a straight man. Do you think? Rarely. It's not going to happen. You have a lovely shirt. Never. I like your shoes. Never in a million years. Oh no, we would, yeah. Or you'd have people around you, for sure. You'd have friends. You'd have girls saying you look great. You're fat. Yeah, yeah. would the gays compliment each other they would yeah they'd be slow enough they might be slow to to let you have it but they would yeah yeah depends what they want like if you you know the way with straight guys I bumped into my gay friend and they look nice I'd say you look great but what I'm saying is you would you wouldn't hesitate right no but with straight guys it do definitely there's even a hesitation for me like as in like Like if, this is so bad, right?

33:00Denis:It's so backwards, but also it does kind of make me laugh for some reason. Yeah. It's like if I complimented someone and said, oh, like that's a nice shirt. Someone else would say, do you want to kiss him? Gay. Yeah, kiss him. I wouldn't say they'd say gay. But what about, so I was in Cardiff. I was having my chips at half past two in the morning. What were you doing at half past two in the morning? While I was out socializing. And I was watching drunk men. And they weren't dangerous aggressive. They were like jolly friendly men. Yeah. Having a laugh. And then a huge tank of a muscly man came walking down the street in like a bodybuilder.

33:42And they were all around him. Yeah. Like clapping and squeezing his arms and like smacking his arse and telling him he was amazing. What's that?

33:51Denis:Yeah, but you meet those same lads three o 'clock the next day and he walks down the street and they're not they're gonna have their head down is that it it's like it's spilling out of them right but they were they were like like they'd seen Arnold's one because all the inhibitions are gone and they can say it and it doesn't it's not like a threat to them or whatever you know they can be like look at the big muscly lads and whatever I've definitely experienced something like that like where you know you see some lad and you go like well I'd be a little bit freer I think with that stuff anyway you know you kind of compliment the guy in a night out and they love it yeah but they truly love it because it doesn't happen at all but that's that's it's spilling out here you have a few drinks or like jeffers see lads at the end of a night they go i love you you're the best but like they'll never even talk about that yeah i know i know it's like we talk i think we talk about this so much that it sounds like it's almost hack yeah but i don't think it's proved anyway but they wouldn't say it over a coffee they have to be drunk no i don't i don't think there's any i think you only say it to a lad when he's on the verge of like yeah you know things are bad things are bad like yeah then someone will say it which is you know good too late but like if you walked in with a new pair of runners and you're any bit proud of them like they'd smell it like they wouldn't be saying oh lovely they take the piss lovely new runners you win the lotto they'd be like oh you saying bolt is in you saying bolt is in you know you get over to America and over to the Olympics like rude but what about your man who from Galway well lad On the television Oh In Love Island There's a lot of that there So Do we talk about that Is that our bonus No no No let's talk a little bit about it Yeah There's a lot of that A lot of what They can't be happy for him No Because He's making something of himself Do people know what we're talking about There's an Irish footballer Is it I actually don't know if he's footballer Gaelic footballer I think from Galway I think captain Of this Senior team is it like oh okay i think so i don't know i missed i missed oh he's a big he's a big deal and he's he's he's abandoned he's quit he's let everyone down he's left the football to go on love island and it has divided the nation oh his name is sean is it fitzgerald 25 young lovely hot piece ready to go he's ready for telly he looks for telly oh that's i didn't know this at oh yeah that's the whole story he's like a huge county player and he's oh my god he's not he plays for Galway like the county like big big news and he's given it all up to go on that's our love island that's hilarious and the nation is split some people think it's well sure lads weren't allowed go on like holidays to America and stuff after university or whatever because they need to play with Kilshanik once there's training you know and need to turn up to 50 trainers but there'd be lads who'd be way at the end of the bench like never getting on and they'd be getting calls from selectors and everyone going like we're in the name of God you think you're after yeah you'll let us down and you'll never play for this club ever again I don't care if she's pregnant I don't care if you're getting engaged oh I didn't know about that yeah that's the whole story because he's kind of famous already I don't know I just heard about like some of the stick and stuff he was getting yeah oh I've screenshotted all the comments I'm going to read them out later So we'll chat about this more, but just one point that I want to make off is I think the most disappointing thing now is like this kind of, oh, it's like everything's cringe.

37:33Yeah.

37:34Denis:Right. So everything's cringe. Everything's crap. Don't do anything. Don't embarrass yourself. Yeah. Blah, blah, blah. Like, again. This is cringe. Yeah, it's cringe. Why get up on a bed? There's some fella, I'm sure, watching this from school saying, what in the name of God? Oh no there is someone Someone had already communicated Through a friend of mine Remarking on What in the name of God Was I wearing With that gay fella But I have to say That the same guy Would definitely love to wear What I'm wearing Yeah but he would never No Yeah But you know what I mean Like there's so much stuff there Now it's like You see it on loads of stuff On Instagram as well It's like They'll say oh You know they've been doing a parody Of someone who's doing something And it's like Just Let them off Give it a break Oh I have a lot to say No one will do anything I have a lot to say and I was catching up on it all the other day.

38:19I have another question though about sport. What on earth was going on with the people of Islington? Oh. What?

38:32Denis:With the Arsenal. Why is this? They haven't won. Or are you saying they can't have their parade at all, is it? They can have their parade. Or they say win straight pride. There it was. The last two weeks. blocking up my roads blocking up my roads all the roads were closed around my house for weeks Arsenal won well they lost no no no so they won the league we have to be really careful we have to be more careful with this football stuff than we do with any of the game stuff we talk about because they'll come after us but they lost there's no way of winning this conversation because there's so many different factions Paris so they won the league what league?

39:15Denis:the Premier League Yeah Right By accident kind of No There was no No they didn't win it by accident Someone So look Loads of people Excluding Arsenal fans Really don't like Arsenal Yeah So you've got You know Chelsea Man United Liverpool And Tottenham And Tottenham nearly got relegated as well But that's a different story What's that mean That means they nearly went down to the league below Oh Which would have been crazy Because Tottenham Like are a rich club and stuff And shouldn't be Probably down there Anyway, whatever. So Arsenal are known as kind of like bottling it. Okay. So there's been a good few years where they've come close to winning the league.

39:58Denis:And then after Christmas, they implode after the Christmas break. And the pressure piles on them. And then City just win it or someone else wins it. Right. So this was meant to be happening again. And they were getting a lot of stick because they were doing a lot of like TikTok stuff and a lot of Instagram stuff and whatever. In the end, anyway, they win the league. And it's like one of the biggest droughts, I think, for their club history, I think, for like a league or whatever. But they won it. Great, right? So happy days. I'm sure someone has to win. Is this every year? I'm sure why even do it?

40:30Give everyone a medal. It's every year, yeah.

40:32Denis:Have you no, have you no, like, when you were football? I don't understand how. What, when you were younger in Ennis? Like, there must have been loads of people watching Man United win the treble and all this stuff. and I never got it because there's four or five different leagues sure one of them wins every year so yeah but like different ones have different prestige and different ways of winning it so like you can get into the league which is just a select amount of people at the top right and then if you don't get enough points you don't win enough matches you go down below and people come up right and you get loads of money and stuff and like TV rights and stuff to stay up there so it's prestigious then there's cups that kind of everyone gets involved in.

41:13Denis:And then you... What did they lose then the next week? So they lost the Champions League final, which is a big one. What did they win? Premier League. They won the English. Basically, they won the English. Let's call it the call. It's only English. They won't like this. They won't like any of this. So it's like Manchester. Yeah, so like England. So they have a league. So there's like six... But they pass it around between. Can I explain the fucking offside rule or something? Do you know what I mean? What do you mean they pass it? They don't pass it around. It's really hard to win it. Yeah. So yes, like different clubs win it.

41:50Denis:Often. Not often. I mean, only one person can win it once a year. Who wins it most of the time? City have been winning a lot of it. Who is City? Manchester. Yeah. But that's because they've had loads of money pumped into the club. Right? Liverpool won it, which is great. Okay. Who else? Chelsea, Arsenal. Man United then have been on a big downturn. 5 or 6 yeah and then you have something like Leicester winning it which is insane it's basically who's pumping the money into the clubs right and then Champions League is Europe Champions League then is Europe but the weird thing with the Champions League is that PSG won it Paris yeah but PSG are like funded by like massive Middle Eastern oh i think it's a guitar oh i see um so they have pumped tons of money into this and usually that didn't work because they had these big name stars in the dressing room that would like basically do whatever they want they're gonna pay loads of money but now their manager came in and kind of like got them all in tow and now they have a fairly unbelievable team okay um unfortunately the money did work and so they beat them which could that must be tough imagine winning the league which is something saying you're going to bottle the whole time and you win it and that's amazing and then a week later you lose like the biggest European competition but are they going to do it again they'll try and do next year they don't get into the final though straight away they have to go from the start again and go all the way up Jesus never ends when would they start it again next week no it'll start again in the autumn like they'll start kicking off again they'll get a little summer break right well wait the World Cup's on though isn't it that's now the World Cup's on so they'll be heading over for the World Cup they'll all be in that some of the players yeah sure it's great for them but what were you saying what was the fuss about what do you mean just because they the parade they I'd never seen anything like it well I was gone I left the country you weren't even there you couldn't go anywhere you couldn't move the roads were blocked there was 1.5 million people or something 5 million say 2 I don't know 5 million would be all of Ireland London like the whole of Islington Borough well it's interesting what's interesting about Arsenal though is that they had a lot of black I think it was 26 million it was 75 million out in the streets they had a lot of black players that I know they're good have played with them at times when there wasn't a lot of black players so then they have they have huge like black support I know anything I've read they seem to be kind of generally good I think I think if you say that no there's always an asterisk I'm sure they've if you say that no they'll there'll be something bad it's important you can't win this right because if you say oh this part of it's good that part of it's good well you the rest of them will come after you it's over now it's over now for a bit the world cup is starting we nearly have to go have you something to have with questions oh that was my question yeah i do have a question i still don't care but yeah i know yeah i think i kept your attention for a good bit of that yeah i wish do you know what i think i'm sad that i will never care so much about anything outside of myself the way you are your own arsenal the way that some people are in floods of tears screaming and shouting and jumping on the road I have never cried or jumped and shouted on the road about anything I get what you're saying it is actually so I used to be a big supporter of a certain club which I'm not mentioning yeah and it was the coolest thing and it does feel unbelievable I know when they win something big like but the problem is is that when they lose it is the worst feeling ever.

45:42Denis:It is great. I think it's really cool. I just I'll never understand it. I can't believe though that like back in the day did your dad ever try and get you to support a football team? No they're not into it. What about like uncles, cousins anyone down the road? A couple of friends around but not really no. And you never like I could never have so much Have you ever watched a match? Yeah kind of Would you bring me to a match? Yeah we should definitely go Oh the noise of it Oh jeez It's so hostile to me The hum But we'll get you to wear little earplugs No we'll get you the ear defenders When am I going to get attacked That hum of men I think it's definitely Depending on the club Depending on the club and the seats Like we're not going to go in You know to the season ticket holders Into the ultras or whatever I think by and large like I actually can't speak for this at the moment but like by and large they rooted a lot of that stuff out so like into especially the bigger clubs so you know it's great when you say that but no I'm saying it with a massive caveat obviously there's people who still experience all that 100 % I'm not taking away from that but like it was mental like in the 80s early 90s it was nuts and they did you know the reason they did it actually it was not because they wanted to change the game or anything like that you know around the time of the hooliganism and stuff it was because of the sky contracts oh so there was loads of money to be made so they needed to make it a family uh more family friendly there you go i'll bring you to the game that'd be great i'd rather die um we've got a listener question in yeah so this is less of a listener question and more of a listener statement okay but it's not the first time that we've heard this um i want to do this actually came from tiktok i also just want to give a shout out to everyone who compliment our compliments.

47:33Denis:Everyone who leaves a comment on YouTube wherever you are all over the place, we are reading them. Oh, do you know what? I'm recommending. Keep it up. Recommending to other people. Oh yeah, yeah, 100%. It's really, really obvious. Thank you. Yeah, it's great. So again, to our fans, if you've found this and you're secretly listening, which are a lot of you secretly listening, and I hope you're enjoying it, just tell someone else. So, this person, Annie, says, and this is not the first one of these, but now that there's been a few i have to bring it up lads i've been listening for a solid six months if not more but i didn't know which of you were which i am shocked i tell you i and then we put in a little right i love it will be discussed as is happening now and i look forward to discussion if i may let me just point you towards dennis's styling choices in this particular video as one visual misdirection.

48:30Oh, she's calling you a faggot. No.

48:37Denis:I don't think Annie would use that word. That's what she said. I actually just made up the rest of the comment. It was just an F-bomb right in there. What are you making at? That's what she's trying to say. Is that, I think some people listen and never watch. So they just have the voices and they have the picture on the some people aren't as invested as we want them to be like you're just passing well people invest in different levels people watch the clips people listen people know what's in our bins never been on Instagram or TikTok or they've just seen the thing on Spotify or Apple and they're looking at the logo picture of two people there and often that might be it so then they make up is that what they're saying?

49:23but she's saying from the blouse so she is watching

49:25Denis:yeah no she's saying you look like the straight man I don't know about that is that what she wants I think you do have but listen to me like Lisbon and Splutter but I think I think you do have maybe she's watching with no sound why would she do that well oh they do um oh my god do you know what I did yesterday it's the fucking worst thing ever I was trying to get work done really late right and the cat starts going oh do you know what happens when a cat starts going licking just in its mouth just going yeah do you know what that is a sign of it's gonna get sick it's gonna get sick everywhere I get this oh do you if it adds to reflux you get the watery yeah yeah yeah yeah the thing where you go oh so I give a shout to Lisa right because I can hear the cat I go Lisa cat's gonna get sick right I've got like a laptop top me and whatever and she's She is doing nothing.

50:27Denis:Right. Yeah. She goes, who's going to get sick? Who do you think is going to get sick? Like, if it's not me. Yeah. There's no one else inside her. So she runs out. She hunts the cat down the road, down the hall. And it starts going, right? Get sick. At a plant earlier on, right? Can't stop things from eating plants, right? Get sick. I now can't remember my point in telling the story. What were we just talking about? Oh, yeah. The noise. No, the. Watching this with no volume. any culture so then so then she goes on and cleans up the sick right but she uses a ball of tissue throws it into the toilet packs it all up flushes the toilet blocks the toilet blocked right do you know what I had to do then I had to unblock the toilet obviously and I came in I couldn't get anything up the toilet and you know I had to put I just in the end I got sick of it and I put my hand in the toilet yeah up the U bend I had to like Fish out the stick I had to finger the tissue Out of the toilet It was And you could I Touched it Yeah Fingered it And then it went Yeah Up Oh it's lovely when it all goes It was one of the worst experiences Of all time I wanted to burn my hands They're always getting sick Cats But they keep eating stuff They're not meant to eat Like it's like Thank God no It's a little plant that Is not poisonous to him Because it's You don't want to have those around They'll eat anything He loves eating stuff He's huge would he know a bit of natural instinct there no none not at all he's just gonna get sick on the floor I do want to go back to Annie because I think you've avoided it somewhat you've one minute but I think you do have some you do have some straight like manners looks I think the way you I think I think it's from especially from your neck up the way you kind of I'm here now to to tell you something emotionless emotionless rigid exhausted exhausted could I have three kids I think yeah and you're sick of them okay come on over for a bonus episode on headstuffplus.com where you can come on a second date with your internet boyfriends and hear all the dirt that we're not allowed to tell here to the general public we have new episodes every Thursday if you have a comment question or story send us a DM on Instagram or TikTok lovely
