Introductions & Podcast Setup
00:00:00
Speaker
Hello and welcome to From Dublin to Cleveland. i am Logan Howard. I am joined by the ever-present, ever-vescent Brendan Thomas Merritt. How are you today, Brendan? Less effervescent than your head. You look like you're E.T. over there. Aye, I do. I'm just getting, like, you know, memories of Mr. Burns when I thought he was an alien going through the forest.
00:00:21
Speaker
Yes, it is a bit dark over here. We've gotten a bunch of rain, which is the first time of the year, like in like four or five weeks that we've actually had rain. So ah it means that it's getting darker sooner because it kind of dims it out. And it means that the light I have in the back makes it look like I'm very pale.
00:00:41
Speaker
But I am not. I can assure you, I am not very pale. It's just the light that I have there. As soon as I turn it off, you wouldn't see me and you just see the background. So. It's what we get. you know We are on a ah low budget operation here. We will get better i at some point you know when and the million dollars roll in.
00:01:01
Speaker
things will start changing. You'll be like, wow, these guys are just so bright. And like the lighting is perfect.
New Podcast Series Announcement
00:01:08
Speaker
And you know, we've, we've done this for, this will be 158 episodes and we still haven't figured out lighting on my end. So you know what?
00:01:17
Speaker
We'll get there. And handss all you rich viewers out there and listeners.
00:01:24
Speaker
Yes. He's not begging for our laptops. He's begging for $1 million. dollars $1 million. dollars Hey, it's cont I like it. The first million dollars is the hardest one to get. Second million? Yes, it is.
00:01:36
Speaker
um these Comes easily. Yeah. um Well, anyway, so we are, we, we have our new podcast up and running and it will be in the link in the description to this episode.
00:01:48
Speaker
um But it is called FDTC extra or from Dublin to Cleveland extra. And so you can find Brendan's smiling face over there. He is teaching on first Samuel.
00:01:59
Speaker
And there are two episodes out so far. So just for, chapters one and two and then chapters three and four so if you would like to learn more about first samuel head on over there uh we'll have other things going on there we might have some uh movie reviews some tv reviews uh we might have some of my talks will be on there as well so look forward to all that starting to come out shortly um It is exciting times and we've got more things coming
Humor Clips & Reactions
00:02:28
Speaker
your way. So if you are like, man, it's like a whole week before I hear from them again.
00:02:34
Speaker
ah just want to hear their voice because it's so soothing and it helps me fall asleep. ah True story. Brendan and I have both said that back and forth about each other that we listened to our episodes and were like, well, it was great, but I fell asleep halfway through. I've said that about myself.
00:02:50
Speaker
I put myself to sleep. Yeah. Sometimes I listen back to myself and even I'm bored.
00:02:58
Speaker
Well, he shouldn't say that since he's the only one up on that podcast so far. So he is carrying the weight, but there'll be a month or a Monday, every single episode, and another episode of first Samuel will come out every Monday. So look forward to that. So some more content from us anyway, today,
00:03:16
Speaker
Brendan is going to be showing some clips that he finds humorous, funny, joyful, um ridiculous.
Comedy Skits & Satire
00:03:23
Speaker
These were things that he opposed supposedly you've done ah previously. So he doesn't know exactly what they're going to be or what they're going to look like. put this list together so long ago, I don't even remember what we're going to look at.
00:03:34
Speaker
But I will be reacting to it. So from here on out, I'm going to turn over to Brendan and he is just going to be running the show. And I am just going to be trying to react to things that supposedly are Irish or Irish people understand.
00:03:48
Speaker
um So we'll see how this goes. Exactly. Plus some Insta gold as well, just for good measure. There you go. There you go. As long as there's not anything called like 6-7 that's on there. um My students love to say that and I'm about ready to just like end it.
00:04:05
Speaker
so
00:04:08
Speaker
Never heard of that. i don't know what that means. Apparently there's a video or a song going around a meme that talks about someone being six foot seven and they say it in a funny way. They go six, seven.
00:04:21
Speaker
And so now it's become a way for people to say if there's ever a six and a seven together. So like if you are doing a math problem and the answer is 67, um, or you're doing any other kind of thing. maybe they Maybe you say, you know, the food will be done in six or seven minutes, and so everyone has to go, six, seven, six, seven.
00:04:42
Speaker
And that's you have to do it in that voice, too. And it it's ah it's very annoying, and the kids love it. But the teachers don't. We need to pray for the upcoming generation.
00:04:53
Speaker
Yep. It's called brain rot. We have this thing in America that we call brain There's like skibbity toilet in Ohio and 6-7 and all of these things that I want nothing to do or to know about. But because I work at a school, I know about.
00:05:09
Speaker
Yikes. That's the best thing about being an ESL teacher is my students can't even speak English. So if they're saying 6-7, I wouldn't know. You wouldn't know. You wouldn't know? Yep, you would not.
00:05:23
Speaker
ah there All right, let's get cracking with but cla fun but the with the memes. I'm sorry to interrupt class, but it's actually super triggering for me to be reading a book about a disease right now with everything I'm going through.
Public Proposal Fail & AI Video
00:05:40
Speaker
Because of everything you're going through? What are you going through, Kayla? The rest of the class sort of already knows about this, but recently i was successfully diagnosed with something called... You're doing great, Kayla. It's okay. Be present with your illness, okay?
00:05:58
Speaker
Asymptomatic Tourette's. Okay. This literally sounds like my second grader at school, and I'm not going to name names or call them out, but I think they will do just about anything to get out of doing work.
00:06:13
Speaker
Like you're trying to get out of work. You're just making a something like, oh, yeah. So I have Tourette's. OK. All right. You know, Tourette's where you stutter and stuff.
00:06:23
Speaker
Yeah, I don't have symptoms, though. Oh, it's great. I had that primary school child who used to go to the bathroom. I'd have to go with her, but I'd stay outdoors, obviously. She'd go in.
00:06:36
Speaker
But she would pretend to be vomiting. But it was just to get of the class. On the first day or two, I thought, goodness, those poor girls moving to school feeling like this.
00:06:51
Speaker
And the third day, I just said, chicken licking. Let me smell your breath. It's like a liar. Never let her in the classroom again. Yep.
00:07:02
Speaker
Yeah. I've seen kids who force themselves to vomit so that they can get out of school. So you know what? It's ridiculous. I know.
00:07:13
Speaker
Like I said, the kid's are not okay and need prayer. What?
00:07:18
Speaker
What? So what Tourette's Syndrome is, right? No, I know what Tourette's Syndrome is. Oh, great. Okay. So it sounds like you're halfway there and you're taking an opportunity to be educated, which is...honorable.
00:07:29
Speaker
That chick with the really heavy eyebrows is just gassed. She's so, so funny. And so deadpan and so serious. It's hilarious. Thank you. So asymptomatic Tourette's, right? It's like Tourette's syndrome with the tics and like the hardship, right?
00:07:44
Speaker
But without any symptoms. So in its way, AT is harder because- What is AT? Oh, asymptomatic Tourette's. Okay. It is harder because people have like the actually no idea the battle that people like Kayla are fighting inside every day. It's a silent killer.
00:08:05
Speaker
And someone actually diagnosed you? It's disrespectful to ask that. I'm so sorry. It's okay. You can't blame people for making really huge mistakes when they haven't learned the etiquette.
00:08:17
Speaker
It's only self-diagnosable. And it's self-diagnosable. That means you don't have it.
Awkward Encounters & Over-sharing
00:08:25
Speaker
Sorry, not sorry. Hey, son, how would you like to play baseball with me? Can we have a tea party instead? Is your son becoming gay? and Oh my goodness, that... yeah yeah Yeah, you can't play that one.
00:08:40
Speaker
He literally swore.
00:08:44
Speaker
He said, what the F do you do? This happened to me. But now he's on Manitol. Side effects of Manitol may include early interest in power tools, unsolicited pushup contests, calling his teacher libtard, refusal to acknowledge a woman's place in the workforce, and being flanked by multiple girlfriends at recess. Ask your child's doctor if Manitol is right for him, because no one wants a gay son.
00:09:11
Speaker
At least they're right. There are some parents right there in Dublin, London, and California. probably would.
00:09:20
Speaker
Oh my goodness. Okay, so there is there is some weird weird truth to that one. yeah they But I think that's that's an over-frustration.
00:09:34
Speaker
i think we try to make men into... they have to fit in a certain box. And that's not true. um They don't have to be a certain box, but... Are you just jealous that you didn't have like all the girls chasing after you at lunch break?
00:09:52
Speaker
Are you jealous of that little stump of a kid? i was I was homeschooled, so I didn't have any other children around other than the only children the only girl that was chasing me was my sister.
00:10:04
Speaker
let's let let let let let let Let's hope that you're jerry not synchronized the kid in the clip then. Yeah. Yep. We don't need really need a Luke and Leia thing going on. We're gonna take off the air. 158th episode, no more.
00:10:20
Speaker
It's the hell we're willing to die on. Um, hello. Sorry to stop your shopping at and your evening. Hello. I just have a very special message for a very special girl.
00:10:33
Speaker
This is where we met three months ago. the people yeah This is where we first saw each other and this is where i fell in love with you. you And you're my absolute jaan and you had me that day at hello when you said hello to me. I mean after I said hello, anyway, you're my jaan, you're my sweetie pie, you're my curie pie, you're my absolute jaan.
00:11:02
Speaker
my you're my cutie pie, you're my shonu, you're my everything. and And I know you find this cheesy, but but I want everyone to know you make me really happy. And I have a little poem for you. And I'd like everyone to hear this. When you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while. And my heart ceases to beat. And there's nothing else that I seek except you. And I just have one question for you. No, no, no, no,
00:11:40
Speaker
are you here i think the final line was when he pretended that he created the song when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while. Because,
Viral News Bloopers & Critique
00:11:52
Speaker
girl, you're amazing.
00:11:53
Speaker
Just the way you are. i think she was like, i cannot marry plagiarist.
00:12:02
Speaker
yeah If he's willing to steal from no, Mars. but He's willing to steal from me. What is going to do to my wages when you have a shared bank account?
00:12:13
Speaker
Oh, my. Yeah. that but The red flag, and you avoid this. Yeah, that that's why, folks, if you have a woman that you're interested and you've been dating for a while, do not try to propose in front of a bunch of people if you're not sure what how she feels about it.
00:12:30
Speaker
All right? Don't try to propose in front of an entire time. Have a conversation about it before you get there. It could be months before. You could just be like, are you actually interested in marrying me? Or, like, is this not going anywhere? Yeah.
00:12:47
Speaker
Some of us don't have months to wait, bro. If you don't do the one, now you're in a few weeks. Well, you know, sometimes we like to think that, but maybe it's maybe it's better to wait. The later you wait, the hotter you date. You know, it's... At this point, dating a volcano.
00:13:07
Speaker
That's what's gonna happen. It's gonna be a volcano.
00:13:12
Speaker
Oh, no. I saw this one. Oh, no. I'm not- I don't mean to be offensive, but I think she's American. This is AI by the way guys, this is believe in political correctness in this channel, say what it is.
00:13:32
Speaker
she's She's a large woman. She's a larger than life woman who takes up- Yes. Because she carries a lot of presents into the room. Yes. Or the jungle. She probably weighs plus 400 pounds. Okay?
00:13:47
Speaker
So that's where we're at. All right? She weighs more than the cross to Jesus Christ. She needs to go to the biggest loser. That lost weight show. Okay? So that's what we have here.
00:13:59
Speaker
And this is an AI video. Okay? This is not a... No animals were harmed in the making of this video. File it for me. But ah that's just because I read the clip that was literally the little note that said AI video. Because I was like, this could be animal cruelty.
00:14:14
Speaker
Just going to I'm usually good at spotting AI that look pretty legit to me. Just saying.
00:14:22
Speaker
I'm Josh. I'm 27. No pressure. And today going to kiss a girl for the first time. The only girls I've ever kissed in the world are my mom and grandma. Very good. What's your name? Emily.
00:14:33
Speaker
I'm Josh. Hi. He's so crazy. me. He's crazy. i kiss you? Turn. You can't serve. Okay. What? What was that? What was that?
00:14:50
Speaker
He's running away. so proud of himself. He's so proud of himself. All he did was just like give her a peck on the cheek. That's all he did and then he ran away.
00:15:02
Speaker
I mean, look, it was it was hyping you up that something cool was going happen. And then, I mean, Josh was looking creepy. And then Josh just gives him up, gives her a back on the cheek and walks away.
00:15:14
Speaker
She looked like she was like, OK, sure. She said, sure. She literally said yes. And that's where you go with. He was ready for more. That's a fail. That is a ah big fail. He gets an F from Logan's grading of giving a kiss.
00:15:29
Speaker
That's an F. Hey, it's no further than either of us have ever gotten, right?
00:15:35
Speaker
Even in my darkest moments When was a- The worship leader shares too much.
00:15:46
Speaker
When I didn't say thank you at the drive-thru When I stole a DVD of Shrek 2 When I committed tax fraud And my brother went to prison even though it was me
00:16:01
Speaker
Push that old lady down the hill for no reason. When I told my friend his dog went missing, but I ran it over.
00:16:11
Speaker
Ooh, it gets worse.
00:16:20
Speaker
The grace is absolute. It's all covered by the blood. this Does this happen at your type of churches, like the Pentecostal people? Like, is this a Pentecostal thing?
00:16:31
Speaker
Oh, I no longer identify with those, Fred. I long as for you. I didn't show you that very much. Because this does not happen in the Baptist church. All right. I'm pretty sure at a Baptist church, they might charge the stage and get him taken off and put him in prison. Because if he admits to something, that's some of the things he admitted.
00:16:50
Speaker
ah Yeah, there would be some like charging of the stage at that point. But we do not, we don't have the... At least at our church, we don't have like the music guy who just like says words over music and is like, yeah, we don't do that. and Yeah, you read the hymns that are on the season, no more, no less. yeah Yeah, read the hymns, and maybe you you say a verse, or maybe you say, oh, this song has affected me this week, or something like that. Then you go right into the
Real-life Mishaps & Cultural Humor
00:17:18
Speaker
song.
00:17:18
Speaker
There's no like, oh, Lord. Oh, Lord. isnt we we are of we We don't even raise our hands very much at church. So this is this is not us, but boy, that guy. I think that guy needs to go to prison. That's that's kind of where I'm at.
00:17:38
Speaker
I love that you reacted more to him killing the dog than pushing an old lady down a hill. I don't recall you even reacting to causing the lady. Oh, look, i was i was already I was already, he needed to go to prison by the time he said tax fraud, because I'm an accountant, so yeah, you gotta go, brother.
00:17:54
Speaker
and Stop it. As soon as he did tax fraud and sent his brother there, I was like, okay, that's that's wrong. And then killed a dog, and I'm like, okay, that's wrong. And then I completely zoned out after that, because I realized this was just a confessional for sin, and we're not Catholic.
00:18:10
Speaker
Yeah. He was having an intimate moment with the Lord, excuse you. Yeah. but Authentic worship right there. he was probably, you know, that was in the spirit.
00:18:23
Speaker
Oh, boy. a Don't make unnecessary journeys. Don't take risks and treacherous roads. the see And in and today and yesterday.
00:18:53
Speaker
Oh my word. Okay. Teresa Mannion, no one knew who she was until that apocalyptic storm hit the country.
00:19:02
Speaker
So she's out saying, don't go out of your house, folks. There's people in the river. And then she gets hit by stop sign.
00:19:14
Speaker
She just stops over.
00:19:18
Speaker
oh I shouldn't laugh. A national treasure. President. but Didn't you just post a meme about RTE? Is that like your news broadcasts that they're bad?
00:19:32
Speaker
Regrettably, the public news broadcaster, which we shouldn't even have. It's an absolute disgrace. They're paid by the taxpayer. So, or rather, the government support them and keep them open with taxpayer money.
00:19:46
Speaker
So, yeah, they become puppets for the the regime, the establishment. She got nailed. But Teresa, class act. She got nailed.
00:20:00
Speaker
That would make me not want to go to my house. If that's happening out on the streets, I'm not going out. She did her job. That was a 10 out of 10 performance.
00:20:11
Speaker
Yeah. All this time that the government told you COVID's going to get you, all they had to show was that. Say, leave your house and this will happen to you on a biological level.
00:20:22
Speaker
Yep. I mean, i would i would listen if that was the case. Yep. Right? Right? And you get a good chuckle while you're at it too. Oh, this kid. We've got a kid. He's little Santa at the airport. Okay.
00:20:34
Speaker
Santa's little helper is what that says on his shirt. Have you been waiting a long time? Too long. His excitement got the better of him when his uncle did arrive.
00:20:48
Speaker
but Little Jamie wasn't hurt in his fall and wiped his tears and hugged his uncle. seriously
00:20:57
Speaker
Poor little kid. He's running to meet his uncle and he gets run over by like a... What was that? is it a Was it a like um carrier for luggage or what was it that hit him?
00:21:10
Speaker
An airport trolley. He was of a sign that it was covering his face. his enthusiasm He didn't see the cart coming and just got ran over. It was not not as much of a jump surprise as the previous one. You could see this this this train was coming was was going down the tracks. It was going to run this poor kid over. You could see it. It was inevitable.
00:21:36
Speaker
Yes, if I had the ability like um the broadcasters on sports to like pull out the yellow chalk lines and just like start going through, of here's the moment that we knew that he was in trouble.
00:21:48
Speaker
um Yeah, there that could be done for this one. But that poor lady who got back to you, that was ah that was a jump scare. Theresa Manion, national icon.
00:22:00
Speaker
ah But the poor kid, he didn't deserve to be run over for visit waiting for his uncle to show up. And now that is all he'll ever be known for. The little Christmas kid in his authentic outfit.
00:22:12
Speaker
He got smacked down on live TV. Several local authorities, including Dublin City Council, have warned that water supplies are now at critically low levels.
00:22:22
Speaker
Also, many roads and pavements remain hazardous. and it's claimed there could be a rise in personal injury claims as a result. Dublin pavements remain very dangerous, although this man was not seriously hurt.
00:22:35
Speaker
They just have like a still photo of like, oh, look, look at, ah look at this guy walking. He's just walking down the street and then he just slips on ice. i Do you think they staged that? Do you think that was staged or do you think that that was like just natural where they just had this for like, you know, 14 hours, this camera out there and this, just watching these people go by. And then eventually this guy, he comes by and he just wipes out, headbutts the wall, slips and falls.
00:23:02
Speaker
With R.D. It would not surprise me if it was the latter.
00:23:08
Speaker
The RTE has been paying their news anchors more than Donald Trump makes as a sitting president of the USA. Well, Trump has been buying their people like 5,000 euro flip-flops.
00:23:22
Speaker
They're just an absolute definition of scumbaggery and big waste of taxpayer money. yeah So it would not surprise me if they had a camera waiting 14 hours for someone to slip and fall.
00:23:33
Speaker
And then what I used to think it was a very organic video that they just cost in the humiliating moment. But actually watching it this time, I did think, you know what?
00:23:45
Speaker
She was talking with Wade, who's straight a face. It's like she was trying to hold in the laughter that she knew was coming. So I actually, I'd say it might have been staged. Could have been. wouldn't but Wouldn't surprise me.
00:23:55
Speaker
Yeah. RTE is fake. And when I become Taoiseach of this country, RTE is on the chopping block.
00:24:04
Speaker
Heard it here first, folks. yeah That's it. If people want to get news from RTE, they can stream it. And they can set up their own streaming fee and people can pay them. But taxpayer money going towards and any news organization.
00:24:21
Speaker
Well, folks, we will not be seeing the Brendan Thomas news. but The BTM news will not be replacing it. So just just so you know, BTM news.
00:24:33
Speaker
Well, not the taxpayer funded BTM news. I didn't say that either. Now that I hear BTM news, I kind of like the ring it.
00:24:45
Speaker
Alright, let's come back to Theresa again. So basically this is called a Super Cayley. Cayley is an Irish jig, an Irish dance. So basically this is her news report rearranged into a remix.
00:25:01
Speaker
Again, this contributed to her becoming a household name overnight.
00:25:07
Speaker
Yes, Una, I'm coming to you from a very wet, very windy Salt Hill prom. The gales are still blowing in off the Atlantic Ocean here. But really, this is all about the rain.
00:25:20
Speaker
All about the rain. All about the rain. All about the, all about the, all about the rain. cannot repeat the advice all day. cannot repeat the advice all day.
00:25:45
Speaker
People have been spotted in the water both today and yesterday
00:25:58
Speaker
Don't make unnecessary journeys Don't take risks on treacherous roads People have been slaughtered in the water Both today and yesterday Their actions are idiotic Both today and yesterday Don't make unnecessary journeys Don't take risks on treacherous roads People have been slaughtered in the water Both today and yesterday Their actions are
00:26:34
Speaker
You know, the one disappointing thing was we didn't see her get whacked in the face. that I was waiting for it the entire thing. I was like, you know, going along to the song. it was great. And then it was a bit of a letdown that she didn't get it in the face. not Not that I was cheering for
Joy, Laughter & Spiritual Insights
00:26:49
Speaker
it.
00:26:49
Speaker
Do you like violence against women? What's that? Do you like violence against women? Is that like an aphrodisiac for you? No. Do you get it from that?
00:27:01
Speaker
When you set up something as here's here's what it was, go do it and then here's what it is now, I'm expecting the follow-through happen.
00:27:11
Speaker
and Can I tell you something I don't want to tell you? What's that? The original video on the news is basically her complaining about the weather for three or four minutes, like it's the frickin' apocalypse.
00:27:23
Speaker
But...
00:27:26
Speaker
The part with her getting hit by the stop sign edited by someone who just thought the real one was very funny. So in real life, she was actually not hit by the stop sign. Oh, oh man, that that that made my day. Like, that was literally the funniest thing. And now it's fake. i I've been ah been faked out. You've been duped.
00:27:52
Speaker
Sometimes I'll just show that clip, I'll give no context whatsoever, and then people think that it's the real one, and I just let them think that. but
00:28:02
Speaker
Disappointment. I know, I know. Heartbroken. Betrayed. Betrayed. Oh well. Alright, this time, a bat found its way into the house of someone called Derry.
00:28:16
Speaker
Catch him! Catch him, Derry! Derry, catch him! say Was it a bat? Get a bat! Get a bat! Get a bat out of the house! Ma'am, will you get out?

00:29:10
Speaker
Oh! You're doing a great job, Derry. Oh, that's it. Stand up, Derry. Oh! To get him! No, he's there, he's making a mockery out of you, bye. You get done off this, you take off them shots. The dogs, dogs, they're peeing. Maureen, you're no help behind the door.
00:29:33
Speaker
You're tiring him out. He's like McGregor, he's got no legs left. Go on, catch him now, there he is, get him. He's on me. on long the past should i say Oh, my goodness. so That was crazy. Yeah, he.
00:29:53
Speaker
Oh, my. Yeah. Well, don't have a bat loose. We actually had one at our church one time. a bat got loose and it was just going everywhere. And. It's somebody grabbed a chair and tried to like do like a chair to it. And I think the the bat knew what was going to happen. So he went up back up where he was supposed to be in the bell tower because we have a bell tower at our church.
00:30:19
Speaker
Yes, we just went up to the bell tower and we didn't see him again. But yeah, there was there was threats to his life with a chair. He was about to get whacked by a chair. Where you Bible study. Daddy, Daddy. Almost Daddy. Daddy.
00:30:31
Speaker
um ma dady captain daddy you That's probably him just going outside the door and then just observing all of this and being trying to be a good cheerleader, but I'm sure the guy couldn't hear him once he closed the door. So it was just us.
00:30:49
Speaker
For like a whole week, the whole nation just kept saying, catch him daddy, catch him daddy.
00:30:57
Speaker
Oh dear, that bat was never seen again. but that is the most famous bat in all of Ireland. Like I said there moments ago that, say you know, behind the door, the infamous Derry was probably incapable of actually hearing the instruction being shouted.
00:31:12
Speaker
I want you to see if you can hear a single bird. that this young man is saying. Okay. Alright.
00:31:25
Speaker
ah you want some fine Last Saturday, Mikey Jo O'Shea brought his flock of Scotch sheep down from the Mountain Commonage ahead of Lamming. yeah say He discovered over 50 were missing. yeah Allowing for a number of deaths and strays, Mikey is convinced over 45 sheep have been stolen.
00:31:43
Speaker
It was about night, there'd be a full moon there about a night and then should it be bright out and there could anyone go up in the mountains about a night sure. Well there was 45 sheep missing like in the lambs and everything and the sheep just count out a nice bit of money like.
00:31:58
Speaker
It'd be done about you nothing. Mikey's next door neighbour says some of his sheep have also been stolen. Come back, come back, come back.
00:32:09
Speaker
I've been missing about 10 years. can you It's not all that difficult. All you gotta do is have a good dog. Have a good dog and go at night, some moonshine night, just put the dog around him, put him on a trailer and walk him.
00:32:22
Speaker
And then probably somebody else to pick him up.
00:32:26
Speaker
Whoever is doing knows what he is doing. So I caught him say the word sheep. I also caught him say the word knight. And there was a lot of things he said that did not make absolutely any any sense at all.
00:32:44
Speaker
And I think it's probably because he's a shepherd. And so he probably spends most of his days and nights talking to sheep. And he doesn't have to pronounce he pronounce anything correctly.
00:32:55
Speaker
He's just... I did hear
00:33:00
Speaker
come back. I did hear come back. I did hear too. yeah hear that too but yeah very very good I don't think you want him preaching on Sunday at your at your church. I'm not sure that you will get much out of it other than ah be a good sheep and follow Jesus. That might be about all you're going to get.
00:33:20
Speaker
that he was talking about sheep. Indeed, yeah. So he's in County Kerry, so the safe east of the country. An absolutely gorgeous, stunning, phenomenal county. Why movies are not filmed there every day of the week, I do not know.
00:33:35
Speaker
wiseza yeah, so someone basically stole his sheep. ah He thinks 45 were taken. And he's saying, you know, how are they getting up there in the middle of the night? um It's all very curious.
00:33:48
Speaker
And his friend said, well, all you need is basically is ah dog to help rally them. And the culprits, the thieves, know exactly what they're doing. But almost unintelligible.
00:34:00
Speaker
And when I like to terrify my students, I mean like, oh, you think your English is good? Can you understand this guy? Let's get them back in their place.
00:34:10
Speaker
All right, here's the second last one. This is from a kids show we used to have when I was growing up called The Den. was called Den 2, also on ort And then they renamed it Bed End. Where you'd have a presenter.
00:34:28
Speaker
He had top puppet friends. And they'd introduce the TV shows that were going to come on. and The cartoons. and And then they would also do like you know interactive things with the audience. Like you know questions and cash prizes. Or is it not cash prizes.
00:34:45
Speaker
and Give them prizes for quizzes and this kind of thing.
00:34:50
Speaker
This is a segment called What's Snots? And then Snots in your nose. ah This is possibly the most rewatched clip they've ever had put on YouTube.
00:35:14
Speaker
Snots? Yeah. Brilliant, okay. Well, listen, at the computer mumbled all the names together, and Amy, you came up first to Snottser. A question. and this Is this a pessimist?

00:38:59
Speaker
Back to Kevin and Galway. a It's an object. Yep. a Both of you in a bike.
00:39:15
Speaker
safe could be safest i safe and
00:39:22
Speaker
i saved that i have
00:39:26
Speaker
da i didn' remember well on we do is born to you win the bike
00:39:33
Speaker
both of you when i'm like
00:39:37
Speaker
you no You know, I worry at times that sometimes we'll have segments that will just go on for too long of us just being ridiculous. And this this is this is like a nightmare.
00:39:50
Speaker
This is literally like they were handicapped by these two poor children. And one of them, Kevin, was just living in his own world. Kevin from Galway. Kevin from Galway is just living in his own world. He is like...
00:40:06
Speaker
ah He is a space cadet, you know, he is just like out there, you know, he he is not a He's not a a lo logical thinker. He's like a very abstract thinker. And he's like he's worried about what your hairstyle is and your sunglasses. He he doesn't really care about what game you're playing.
00:40:29
Speaker
um And it was it's this is probably why this stuff doesn't exist on TV, and at least in America anymore, is because the reality part of it is just...
00:40:40
Speaker
like They don't want the kids on TV because it's like it's like you're being handy handcuffed like on na on television where you're just like, ah supposed to be oh, it's supposed to be smooth and they have this game and it'll be fun and as somebody thought it was a great idea and then they get Kevin from Galway and and poor Amy who I don't think she understood what was going on much either, but she at least was trying.
00:41:07
Speaker
The guys' thing is... um So they're presented with Paul Francis. And you can kind of see that he's looking to the side of the screen.
00:41:18
Speaker
And that's because this was filmed on April Fool's Day. So he was looking to like, this a joke? Are you doing this? like Is someone here taking the mick? And at one point, Dustin the turkey disappears and comes back.
00:41:32
Speaker
The actor for the turkey actually left the screen. I was like, listen, lads, just so we're all on the note. is this just for the crack? Or is Kevin from Galway actually a retard?
00:41:43
Speaker
And but then they were like, this kid is real. We don't know what's happening. We film this show every Thursday. He does not know the rules. And that's when the turkey comes back.
00:41:55
Speaker
but But then more recently, maybe at linked last year, two years ago, Francis now um works for a radio station, and he actually had adult Kevin back on the show. And he was like, Kevin, that was just the funniest, most bizarre thing. And they kind of exchanged their own perspectives on it.
00:42:17
Speaker
And Kevin was saying that he couldn't under he couldn't hear on his end of the film what line was being said. so and Which is why at one point he says I need to change the phone or are you are I can't read it clearly like But I don't think was I don't think the rules were actually clear to him that it was yes no game Probably not yes And apparently Francis got into a lot of trouble when he promised both of them bikes And like I said The den was run by RTE Who have abundant money because it's all taxpayer money
00:42:53
Speaker
But the idea of giving two children ah bicycle was just utterly egregious to the nameless faceless yeah and payroll people behind the den that they but they waited months and months and months before giving Kevin the bicycle.
00:43:15
Speaker
And when they did, was so cheap that it broke after 24 hours.
00:43:23
Speaker
It was the ultimate revenge. i guess I guess so. I guess so. Yeah. Oh my goodness.
00:43:31
Speaker
That was a bit painful. That poor poor kid. Absolutely. I feel sorry for Francis just looking and thinking, is this kid actually for serious? Is he having a laugh? Alright, there's one more and this is a guy you may or may not have heard of. Do you know the Irish comedian Tommy Tiernan? No.
00:43:52
Speaker
Uh, it sounds familiar, but until I see his his face, I'm not sure if I'll remember him or not. I like going to Mass, because Mass offers the prospect of something joyous like that.
00:44:05
Speaker
Most Masses these days are terrible, because most priests are terrible. What kind a priest do you want? You want a good moral leader, someone you can trust! You do!
00:44:17
Speaker
You want somebody who looks as if the decisions he's made in his life have had some consequences on his face.
00:44:27
Speaker
You don't want your priest to look like a bank manager. You want your priest to look like John the Baptist. A wild looking heretic.
00:44:37
Speaker
An outlaw. Someone who'll come into town once a week on the back of a donkey. Covered in locusts!
00:44:49
Speaker
I've been to Mass everywhere. I've been to Mass in Australia. What a disappointment. Australia has a reputation for being a wild, rugged country. The priest there was terrible. He was an old woman of a man.
00:45:02
Speaker
Hair brushed over to one side. Nothing out of place, not an eyeball.
00:45:10
Speaker
And he walks out into the church says, Hello? You're all most welcome to St. Cuthbert's Church today. We're going to be reading from the Gospel according to St. Luke.
00:45:25
Speaker
I like Luke.
00:45:32
Speaker
Jesus went for a walk and he came to a tree and up in the tree he saw Zebedee and he said to Zebedee,
00:45:45
Speaker
Zebedee,
00:45:48
Speaker
come down from the tree.
00:45:54
Speaker
And Zebedee replied, Jesus Christ,
00:46:01
Speaker
I'm not coming down from the tree.
00:46:12
Speaker
That's the gospel.
00:46:17
Speaker
According to Saint Luke. I like Luke. But it's rubbish. You couldn't hang your coat on that, never mind your soul. We used to grow priests in Ireland.
00:46:32
Speaker
We used to grow them from bits of people that we didn't like.
00:46:40
Speaker
But we over-planted.
00:46:45
Speaker
We had an epidemic. We were flooded with them. So, we tried to engage the rest of the world in a priest for potato swap.
00:46:57
Speaker
And we were conned by the Africans. Took all our priests as a potato between them.
00:47:06
Speaker
Our priests went over to Africa and what happened? What you think happened? They melted.
00:47:15
Speaker
And now we've run out of priests in Ireland. There's none left. And irony of ironies. What's happening? Missionaries from Africa!
00:47:28
Speaker
Coming to us.
00:47:32
Speaker
And at first the congregation is a little bit wary. No way! Are you the fella off the UNICEF box, are you?
00:47:44
Speaker
Jesus wasn't black. No he wasn't. He looked like one of the Bee Gees.
00:47:52
Speaker
The sick fella.
00:47:57
Speaker
I like it. Because I think mass given by an African priest is slightly more passionate. It might rise us up once again.
00:48:08
Speaker
In the name of the Father of the Son in the Holy Ghost
00:48:14
Speaker
Jesus went for a walk.
00:48:21
Speaker
He wanted to get away from everybody.
00:48:28
Speaker
He does not have to explain himself. He is Jesus.
00:48:39
Speaker
He was walking alone, minding his own business.
00:48:44
Speaker
And he came to a tree, a big tree! Right in the middle of the walk and up in the tree.
00:48:54
Speaker
He saw Zebedee and he said to Zebedee, Zebedee, don't be wasting my time, come and do from the trail.
00:49:07
Speaker
And Zebedee replied, Jesus Christ, I will not come down from the tree. I don't like loch. There you go. That is ah not anything I have ever heard from the Bible, but... You you know, Zacchaeus gets all the credit being in the tree. Everyone forgets his cousin's ebony.
00:49:34
Speaker
That sounded like something we did ah way back when. I know in our first week when we lost like half our viewership because people didn't know what we were doing. When we had two people listening and we lost that one.
00:49:49
Speaker
ah Well, 50% of your viewership goes down. What can you say? ah let's try to Let's try to save what has been a wild time.
00:50:02
Speaker
and Let's go to the Bible. Let's go to Proverbs ah verse but chapter 17, verse 22. And it says... We have to. What? I'm joking. Go on, go on, go go on.
00:50:21
Speaker
Proverbs 17, verse 22. It says, A merry heart or a joyful heart ah is like medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.
00:50:32
Speaker
So, Brendan, does this mean that we can laugh and do silly things like watch clips? Or does this mean that we must be rigid and strict all the time?
00:50:46
Speaker
Well, we can't do what I said. We can't do what you said. You know what? I, for one, feel ten times better now than I felt earlier today.
00:50:57
Speaker
Because he had a good old belly laugh. Sometimes it's just what the soul needs. Joy. ah good chuckle. good chortle. and And let's be honest, we all... I know for myself, I used to be a very, very serious Christian. And not serious as in every second of my day it was spent building the house of God.
00:51:21
Speaker
But serious as in sitting around waiting for the end to come. Sitting around waiting for death. um sitting around, focusing on the sin that person did, how that person had affected me, my trauma, my aches and pains because of this, that, and so and so, and I wasn't good enough there, and whatever else.
00:51:44
Speaker
I wasn't all that great fun to be around. As evidenced by the fact that when looked around, there was no one there with me.
00:51:55
Speaker
Whereas when
00:51:58
Speaker
you decide. Because yes, it's biblical, but you have to appropriate it. But when you decide that the joy of the Lord is your strength, when you decide to come back to the joy of your salvation, so laugh at the silly things, to laugh at your own Kevin from Galway, idiotic, stupid,
00:52:27
Speaker
Use your word. Handicapped moments. Apologies, Kevin, from Broadway, if you ever listen to this. We're not insinuating anything. Nope, we're not.
00:52:37
Speaker
but When you think back to your moments in the Santa Claus outfit and running headfirst into an oncoming trolley, and or have those moments you have this big display plans and a train runs in front of you when they get hit in the head with a violin.
00:52:57
Speaker
I don't know my string quartet. It wasn't a violin. Don't sue us. So you just have to laugh. Look back. Reframe it. And it can be healing for moments that were otherwise quite traumatic. that bruised you or wounded you.
00:53:14
Speaker
or instead of saying, oh my goodness, I'm going to tag out I'm not a real Christian. i don't have that gift. I can't do that for Jesus.
00:53:23
Speaker
Laugh. It's okay to look back and think, You know what, how did I ever think that was acceptable? Why did people let me out of the house? How would the other human beings are functional? And I am, and I am.
00:53:39
Speaker
It reframes the past, it's healing, it makes you more fun to be around. You know, Jesus, we're told, was full of Holy Spirit and full of Holy Spirit's joy. And that's why people flocked.
00:53:51
Speaker
To him, like he was the Milky Bar kid. In those adverts from the 1990s. um So, yeah, makes you more approachable.
00:54:04
Speaker
Means people actually want to be around you. And they get to see the Father's heart. Because yes, God is seriously in love with you, and he's seriously hateful of sin. But he is the most joyful being in the entirety of creation. When you read the Bible's description of heaven, he's not sitting there miserable, people.
00:54:22
Speaker
He just isn't. You look at how phenomenally gorgeous the earth is. He doesn't sit there and turn his nose up at it. Instead, he self-congratulates in Genesis and says, it's good, it's very good.
00:54:34
Speaker
And the apple of his eye is the nation of Israel, despite all their issues. He looks at human beings and his plans are good, perfect, pleasing for those who are his kids in particular.
00:54:45
Speaker
um No eye is seen, no ear is heard, no heart is fully known, no imagination is conjured the fullness what he has for you, which outnumber the sand on the seashore. And they're all good plans.
00:55:02
Speaker
They're all perfect, they're all pleasing, they're all fun, they're all for your best moments. So if you're sitting there miserable, you have to make a decision to submit your soul to your spirit.
00:55:18
Speaker
To submit your feelings to the will of God for your life. To tell your heart you're going to feel that day. Think of David in that sound, bless the Lord, oh my soul, all that is within me.
00:55:33
Speaker
i hate that song when it's sung in corporate settings. Maybe it's a Pentecostal thing, I don't know, but everyone's like, you know, Bless the Lord, o my soul oh my my... And in case you're listening to this and not watching me it, my head is facing up to high heaven.
00:55:52
Speaker
Your soul's in here, people. It's in your body. but This is David talking to his soul. He's not singing to God in heaven, calling God his soul. He's commanding his own heart.
00:56:03
Speaker
Yep. We're worshiping God today. He's commanding his will. We're not going to be miserable, unhappy suckers who are unhelpful and unhappy to be around. He's telling his mind, we're going focus on everything good God has done, and we will not forget a single one of his benefits, because we can't of afford to.
00:56:22
Speaker
That's submitting your heart, your will, and your mind to the mind of Christ and the hearts of God and his good, perfect, pleasing will for your life.
00:56:33
Speaker
And involves being happy, and involves being joyful, because that is your strength. that's when we That's where we recharge. If you're walking around miserable all the time, unhappy all the time, and serious all the time, it's just a weight on you.
00:56:47
Speaker
And people will feel it. And it will impact your ministry, it will impact your calling, will impact your productivity, your usefulness. So be serious when you need to be, pick up your sword when you need to, but don't forget that life is for the living.
00:57:03
Speaker
God wants you to have an abundance, exceeding life. And fun, joy, celebration, and laughter, it's all part of it. Indeed.
00:57:15
Speaker
Indeed, yeah. we We have a song at school that capsulates this verse exactly, and it goes, A joyful heart is good medicine, good medicine, a joyful heart.
00:57:30
Speaker
ah joyful heart is good madison A joyful heart is good is good. But a broken spirit dries up the bones. A broken spirit dries up the bones.
00:57:45
Speaker
A joyful heart is good medicine. Good medicine. The kids love it. It just keeps going like this. I'm just imagining you as like an Oompa Loompa and like punishing the Augustus gloops and...
00:57:58
Speaker
ah Mike TV's who choose to be like unhappy. Yes. Yeah. all in Horrible ways. We sing it. big And it is, it is the case, right? Joyful heart is good medicine. It restores the life back to you. Um, and it's life is not meant to be miserable.
00:58:14
Speaker
Uh, God made creation in such a beautiful way that it's, and he wants your life, wants you to enjoy it. Um, and want you to see it like a child would to enjoy it like a child would and not,
00:58:27
Speaker
Get so lost in your own little world that you don't find enjoyment. in and Enjoy your food. Enjoy your ice cream. Enjoy the things that you have in life. Because as Ecclesiastes says, it's not going to be here forever. So enjoy it.
00:58:42
Speaker
And that doesn't mean that we have rated our enjoyment, that we just do all the sins that we want to do. It means that we enjoy the good things that God has given us in its proper context.
00:58:55
Speaker
We don't turn it into rated R stuff. We enjoy the PG-13 or PG version. Logan's preaching to someone I've got today. Yep. Stop your rated R fun.
00:59:07
Speaker
You know who you are. And Logan does too, apparently.
00:59:13
Speaker
Anyway, Brandon, would you give us a prayer and then we'll close with our shout-outs of the week.
00:59:21
Speaker
Lord Jesus, I forgot that I was supposed to plan one of those. Please remind me the next 30 seconds. And I thank you. I wouldn't mind it with my ideas to include those.
00:59:33
Speaker
My shoutouts are all the segments that we've just shown today. You're all my shoutouts. I appreciate it all of you. i speaking Lord God, I thank you for um for joy, ah happy hearts.
00:59:54
Speaker
For the beauty of laughter, Lord.
00:59:58
Speaker
The clever humour, just the silly stuff, but it brings us joy. Look at what smiles on our faces. and
01:00:08
Speaker
And more than that, Lord, restore to us, if we've lost it, the joy of our salvation. The joy of knowing you.
01:00:19
Speaker
the joy of having been snatched from the jaws of death and been adopted into the wildest, weirdest, strangest, most curious cross-generational, cross-dimensional family there is, the body of Christ, your family.
01:00:42
Speaker
Oh, our God, where bitterness has taken a root in those on the sound of our voices,
01:00:50
Speaker
Our hopelessness has set and they're afraid to hope. Again, they're afraid to hope for the future. They put all their enthusiasm, their hope and their joy in a certain person or a certain thing or opportunity or prayer request, whatever it was, and it did not materialize in ministry.
01:01:09
Speaker
It's something that they did for you. and Instead, they were left wounded.
01:01:16
Speaker
or abandoned or rejected or hurt or it all fell apart or but slipped through their grasp or stolen or died
01:01:27
Speaker
bring them healing jesus soul medicine and help them to hope again trust again to smile again
01:01:43
Speaker
to let your joy, the fruit of your joy, bubble up within them again and overflow. That they will not be defined by the past. Only one past action will define them.
01:01:56
Speaker
The great exchange that you did on the cross, exchanging their sorrow for your joy. In Jesus' name. Amen.
01:02:07
Speaker
Amen. Amen, indeed. So, ah for my shout-out this week, um I would say that you all who enjoy some of the humor that we enjoy, and you've ever watched the show The Office, there is...
01:02:25
Speaker
a show called The Promised Land, which uses the office ah form of having the little videos where they talk to and ah interview people and also having funny comments.
01:02:38
Speaker
The Promised Land is a episode or is the office set in Exodus and so so Moses is your main character. You've got um Joshua. You've got Miriam Aaron. You've got good old Korah who as we know gets eaten by the earth um and you've got some other characters in there. You've got Caleb. He shows up in episode two.
01:03:02
Speaker
So you have all these cool characters that are from the Bible. in a way that you've never seen before in a humorous way um that is also true to its biblical roots um so if you need something to watch and you're like man netflix is terrible there's all these horrible things on netflix and all these horrible things on amazon i don't know what to watch and their children you should watch the promised land it's on youtube it's free and watch it, and it is a joyful time.
01:03:34
Speaker
So that's my shout-out. Brendan, how about you? Every clip that made our show today, you're all gross, one and all.
01:03:45
Speaker
And well done, Derry, on giving up on casting the bat just opening the door in the end. Why didn't that sooner? I don't know. Yes. He also has a ministry that he will be sending out invitations to pretty soon. So, you know, if you're somebody... there something dairy? Is there a Christian? No, no, no. Yes, the revival. Yes, yes, yes. Got a revival on ah on the way. but Indeed, yes. my and Two ministries.
01:04:10
Speaker
a I don't know. Do we consider from Dublin to Cleveland to be ministry? Technically, we're doing the Lord's work. It's a ministry, you know. Okay, then I've got three. a And one of them is open house ministries. We had a revival back in...
01:04:24
Speaker
June, and on the day of the summer solstice, which is a big day for witches and warlocks, and my goodness, did we feel the spiritual attack, but we prevailed. um And this time it's going to be on the 15th of November, which is Saturday, and yeah, it's going to be in the Gateway Hotel in Dundalk, County Loud.
01:04:44
Speaker
Not my town, but my county, the second biggest town in the whole country, and um yeah, it's going to be amazing, I'm going teaching, going to live worship, but have ministry time, we're to have deliverances, we're going to give God the space to show up and show off, and anticipating many salvations, people walking in dead and leaving alive, people walking in with all manner of afflictions and leaving healed with soul medicine,
01:05:24
Speaker
um Go to space for miracles, because why not? so If God's willing, we're not going to say no. And for those who are in bondage to begin their walk of freedom, um the nations are crying out for revival, for change, for restoration, for hope.
01:05:50
Speaker
And the hope of glory is, of course, it's a person. It's Jesus. He is what every soul is crying out for. So we're going to create that space and let creator God do what he needs to do.
01:06:05
Speaker
and And the ultimate best thing you can do is birth new creatures. um Where the old is gone, has come, and people cross over from death to life where it's no longer their fleshly, carnal, sinful state that lives, but Christ alive and thriving in them.
01:06:27
Speaker
So very, very excited. And this will be our second revival in Ireland this year. And I think he's going to multiply it to three or four minimum next year. Very, very exciting. Awesome.
01:06:40
Speaker
yeah Yeah. Things are happening. Be there. Exciting stuff. All right. So if you're anywhere near Brendan or you want to go to Ireland, Head on over. he He'll have your details. You can find him, Brandon Thomas Merritt, on Facebook or Instagram. He will let you know.
