26
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 2: x pat in the community that came out for it.

27
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 2: Maybe a bit of taste of home or you know,

28
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 2: you know, my granddad used to have your accent or whatever.

29
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,119

00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 2: taking a punt on it, going oh, this guy won

31
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,040

Speaker 2: it and amazingly understand the accent.

33
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 3: We speke to Justin Carry from the ben Elementary last week.

34
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 3: All right, he was saying, he speaks, he's got push. Yeah,

35
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 3: you guys, everyone can understand me. But he said he's

36
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 3: a couple of the bend people struggle with especially in

37
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 3: the USI.

38
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred percent. I think Americans struggled the most

39
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 2: with it.

40
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, they struggled with all of them. How do you

41
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: go with us and a slang?

42
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's perfectly understandable. I think that the

43
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 2: main one that really froze you if you've never been

44
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 2: Asulia before, it is how you going because like it

45
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 2: doesn't make grammatical sense, right, And what I always think is,

46
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 2: like what you guys have done is that you've taken

47
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 2: two phrases that are said a greetings elsewhere or so

48
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 2: you've like, how is it going? Is what people say?

49
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 2: How are you doing? He combined them to make a phrase.

50
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: It basically sounds you're like you want the person speaking

51
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: to to leave good for my goings.

52
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 3: I have just arised, okay, amusing it, Doug. Yeah, I

Speaker 2: So hey, you know though that competition.

65
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: Some that would be some tough competition, I would imagine.

66
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's not.

67
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: That's a funny.

68
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's such people. You know, there's there's

69
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 2: a really good comedy scene in Scotland obviously, like you

70
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 2: know the you know Belly Cornley's nine and it's a

71
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 2: good competition and stuff like that, And yes, I went

72
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 2: in twenty nineighteen, and then I was the raining champ

73
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 2: for about three years because COVID then there is no comment.

74
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 2: So I was like one consecutive years, come on, I

75
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 2: love that. You get a trophy. I did. I got

76
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 2: to keep it in my house for like three years.

77
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 2: I mean I just kept in the cupboard or something. Doorstop. Yeah.

78
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: So the title of the show was Original Sound. Yes,

79
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: it references the award you know.

80
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,399
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, So you want to know why the show

81
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 2: is called was called basically Original Sound. The reason I've

82
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,679
Speaker 2: called it that is because, like so a lot of

83
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 2: success I've had over the last year or two, it

84
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 2: has been through putting my stuff online. And so when

85
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 2: you put a video on TikTok, if you use your

86
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 2: own audio, it just comes up whoever you are, it

87
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 2: comes up this person original Sound. And so basically the

88
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 2: concept of the show is, look, if you've seen my

89
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 2: wie short clips minute or two, come and see an

90
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 2: hour and it's an hour of original sound of me.

91
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 2: But you get to see it live and ultimately as well,

92
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 2: the show is going to be a lot of like

93
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 2: you know, just a lot of stand up bits that

94
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 2: will at some point probably also be clicked up and

95
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 2: put online. And so that's kind of the concept of

96
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 2: the show rather than you know, a lot of shows,

97
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 2: particularly fringing stuff, they'll have like a concept of a

98
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 2: theme or a narrative. There will be one big story

99
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 2: or whatever. I'm like, Look, this is an hour of jokes.

100
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 2: If you've seen the shorter clips and lights and out

101
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 2: of that, basically like just jokes on on everything under

102
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 2: the sun and and just more of what the people

103
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 2: have seen online. They're coming to see the show.

104
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love your accent, especially just when you sayeah,

105
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 3: but when you said when we're not ridly killing, but

106
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 3: when you said going to be And I'm thinking about

107
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 3: the pro climber st.

108
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 2: When I wake up.

109
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: Because you're from Glasgow. Now you're the you're the official

110
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: tourism for for Scotland for Glasgow. Would you sell Glasgow?

111
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 2: Glasgow is the cultural capital of Scotland. So Edinburgh's get

112
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 2: the castle and some nic if you want a good

113
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 2: night out, Glasgow spec to go. That's where the people are.

114
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 2: There's a lot of like just everybody's funny there. Everybody's

115
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 2: very friendly and nice and stuff like that. And you

116
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 2: know there's a thing though, because like Glasgo it's got

117
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 2: a reputation, is the one in class city, and it's

118
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 2: got a reputation is violent, always talks his poles art,

119
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 2: it's the most violent, all that right, but also talks

120
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 2: to poles and most friendly. And some days people and

121
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 2: comedians even get bit it's about like, oh, it's so

122
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 2: confusing that it's friendly but it's violent. To me, it

123
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,799
Speaker 2: makes perfect centrally. I think the reason people in Glasgow

124
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 2: generally are friendly is because everyone is so violent, you know,

125
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 2: because smiling yeah, yeah, like this, could you put the

126
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 2: jail for attempting all? I know, I'm just going to

127
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 2: be nice to do.

128
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 3: You know if Jimmy banns you're striding rock staff from

129
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 3: he's from gless Gage is yeah. He once told me,

130
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 3: he said, he said cleary. If you now, if you

131
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 3: say kept with a tiling bless garg a tourist, it's.

132
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 2: You know, it's not as bad as it used to be.

133
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 2: I think, like you know, my parents' generation and their

134
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 2: parents generation, it was more rough and you know, the

135
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 2: more modern everything gets, everything's a bit more homogic eyes

136
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 2: and clean stuffing up now. But you know, Glasgows is

137
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 2: a very cosmic, polant city. Loads and iice restaurants and

138
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 2: bars and pubs and clubs and all that sort of stuff.

139
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 2: So it's definitely if you got people always go in

140
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 2: Withftery Touring if they're going to going in Scotland, but

141
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 2: take a day. It's only fifty minutes in the train.

142
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 2: Go and have a good night. You in Glass.

143
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,000
