"Zipliners, Hermits & Testicles") - Square-jawed survivalist Mr. Bare Grills takes DJ Adrian Byrne & producer Tony Wilson of The Friday Rock Show out of their onesies, slippers & comfort zones into the truly brutal majesty of the Irish west coast. Bare: Tie the rope to the ice axe. Phwipp, see if I can get it right over that lip. See if I can get it to secure on a rock- Adrian: This is fucking ridiculous. Bare: -and I can repel down, pull myself up the other side and then just bring you across on like a zip-line. Adrian: Right! A zip wire! I’ve done this before in an adventure park in Wales. Couldn’t unclip myself, was dangling there for a good ten minutes. Tony: Hold on, if the pick is made of ice, will it not melt? Bare: No. Tony: How do you know though? Adrian: You're fierce thick Tony. Tony: Wha?! It's an ICE pick! Bare: Heh, you’ll have to take the courage pill to clip yourself on, on your own. Tony: Courage pill? ‘Ere, this Bare lad is fierce fuckin’ patronising. Adrian: I can’t do it, I don't think I can do it.   Bare: Okay, so here we go. (Throws ice pick hook across the ravine) Tony: What’s he doin’? He's like He-Man or somethin’. Bare: Okay, that’s across, let’s see if it’s caught. It’s a little bit precarious but that’s just to help me climb up this bit. And then once it’s there I can really hundred, hundred percent secure it. And then all you’ve got to do, ok, stand up, clip that on to the two lines, okay- Adrian: Ah what? Bare: -the scary bit is going to be right here. The rope will hold you. And then you pull yourself up the other side and we’re across this thing. Okay? Tony: Just close your eyes and relax. Adrian: (Shock) Ah-hooh! Bare: Once you get to the edge here, it’s gonna feel, but it’s fine. Just commit to it, launch yourself off and we’ll get you across. Adrian: Yeah, yeah... Bare: So across the gorge. Onto the green stuff to now get up here, and tension it up. Okay, I’m going to tension it up okay? Give me one minute. Adrian: Take your time, no rush. Did we really need to do this? Tony: Good for ratin’s, make ya look normal. Adrian: Heh, this isn't fucking normal. Bare: Ah, eeh, okay it's good! Tony: He’s lookin’ over atcha, he wants you to pull on it. Adrian: Ah god, he’s swingin’ it! Tony: Stop rockin’ on it! It’ll snap. Adrian: Shut the fuck up! Bare: Try and use both hands now. Tony: I always use both hands.. meheheheh! Bare: This is where it gets hard work because gravity’s no longer helping you. Tony: C'mon, bit of humour will get us across Adgeen. C'mon. Adrian: Urnfff. Urgh. Tony: Ah fuck! Adrian: Uh, what? Tony: Fuckin’ sandal. Me sandal’s fell off! Bare: Well done, keep going. That’s good. Try going like this now, there you go, haul yourself. There you go. Adrian: Keep pullin’ it lad, we’re nearly there. Bare: Great effort. Keep coming. Yep. Keep coming. You’re almost there. Tony: I’m comin’! A & T: Unfgg, aaaahhh. Aaagh! Adrian: (relief) I love the ground. Tony: Kiss it like the pope. Adrian: Irelaaaand, I looooove youuuu.   Bare: This... is an Irish adventure! Adrian: Woo! Yeah! The endorphins are going now! I'm buzzin' off this shit! C'mon let's do more Bare! Let's do more! Bare: Wind, rain, but you did well over there. Good for you. Adrian: Yeah, love it! Bring it on. I'm a warrior! A & T: (laughing) Adrian: Ah Jesus, I don't think I've had that much exercise since I dropped a tenner out of me wallet and had to chase it up the street. Tony: It was windy that day was it? Adrian: It was. Took me a while to catch the whore! Tony: Bare?! Where's he gone? Bare: Okay, let’s pack up and keep going. Adrian: You pack up and fuck off. What awaits the hardy Wicklow men with Bare Grills out in the wild, wet and windy west of Ireland?
