What do mountaintops, ironing boards, and reef sharks have in common? For Kieran McGann, known as Ironing Man AKA Tony Starch, they represent the thrilling world of Extreme Ironing. This unique blend of adventure, creativity, and absurdity transforms a mundane household chore into a bold statement of individuality and courage. In this episode, guest host Amanda Mourelatos takes us on a journey through Kieran’s wild and imaginative pursuits, offering a glimpse into a sport that dares to challenge conventions.

From Quirky Beginnings to a Global Phenomenon

Kieran’s passion for Extreme Ironing began in an unexpected way—a Sunday morning TV segment that showcased the sport’s quirky charm. While the idea lay dormant for years, it was eventually revived by Kieran’s need for a creative outlet that combined his love of the outdoors and his sense of humor.

“I realized I needed a project—a way to combine creativity, outdoor exploration, and just a bit of absurdity,” Kieran shares.

What followed was a commitment to transforming this eccentric idea into a full-fledged adventure. From scaling cliffs with an ironing board to trekking desert trails, Kieran turned his vision into an inspiring journey, proving that sometimes the quirkiest passions lead to the most rewarding experiences.

Adventure Awaits: Exploring the World, Iron in Hand

For Kieran, Extreme Ironing is not just about the act of ironing—it’s about embracing the spirit of adventure. Each location is carefully scouted, whether it’s a rugged mountaintop, a precarious cliffside, or even underwater. These daring feats test not only his physical endurance but also his creative vision.

“Sometimes, you just need to take something absurd and run with it. That’s where the magic happens,” he explains.

Through his passion for adventure, Kieran also highlights the beauty of Tucson’s trails and landscapes, showcasing his hometown as the perfect backdrop for this unconventional sport. Whether hiking to remote peaks or imagining dream scenarios—like ironing alongside reef sharks—Kieran’s exploits inspire listeners to think beyond their limits and find joy in exploring the unexpected.

Creativity Unfolded: Turning the Ordinary Into Art

At its core, Extreme Ironing is a celebration of creativity. What began as a simple idea has evolved into an art form, with Kieran carefully crafting each scene to merge humor, beauty, and daring. The challenge of making something as mundane as ironing look extraordinary speaks to his unique ability to find inspiration in the everyday.

“Add a mountain or a cliff, and suddenly ironing isn’t just a chore—it’s a story worth sharing,” Kieran says.

Through his adventures, Kieran reminds us that creativity isn’t limited to traditional mediums. It’s about reimagining the familiar, taking risks, and turning even the simplest actions into something extraordinary. His story challenges us to embrace our passions, no matter how unconventional they may seem.

Pressing Ahead with Purpose

Kieran McGann’s journey as Ironing Man AKA Tony Starch isn’t just about Extreme Ironing—it’s about living boldly, embracing the quirky, and finding meaning in creativity. His adventures inspire us to rethink the boundaries of sports, art, and self-expression, proving that even the most ordinary activities can lead to extraordinary experiences.

Tom Heath
Together, they’re going to talk about the quirky and fascinating, the Sport of extreme Time ironing. And yes, it’s a real sport. You’re gonna want to stay tuned for this fun and unique conversation. Today is December 8th, 2024. My name is Tom Heath and you’re listening to Life Along the Streetcar. Each and every Sunday, our focus is on social, cultural and economic impacts in Tucson’s urban core, and we shed light on hidden gems everyone should know about, from a man to the University of Arizona and all stops in between.

And of course, you can listen to the podcast version of this show on, platforms like Spotify, iTunes, iHeartRadio, or, you know, just simply asking your smart speaker to play the life along the street car podcast. Well, I’m excited. Amanda has been with us for, several weeks now. She’s been doing a lot of work behind the scenes.

Tom Heath
She’s been editing, interviewing, prep all kinds of work, but she hasn’t been in front of, like, on the camera, the mic for us. Now, she does have her own podcast called Amanda’s Archives. And, that’s a fun one. We’ve gotten to see kind of how she puts that together, and we’ll be sharing more of that at a later date.

Tom Heath
So you can check out, her take on Tucson and all the very interesting, people she’s had a chance to talk to with a range of topics is called Amanda’s archives. Right now it’s on, Spotify, and it’ll be on other platforms soon, but today, she’s stepping into the role for life along the streetcar and, talking with, Tony Stark.

Tom Heath
Yes. Tony Stark, he is an extreme iron ore. He’s Iron Man, and I had no idea what this was when this concept was brought up to me. But extreme irony is this really sort of quirky and and it is a sport. It’s it’s combines this mundane task of ironing clothes with, going to really remote and unusual locations.

Tom Heath
You’ll see them doing it on like mountain tops underwater. They’ll be ironing while skydiving, hanging from cliffs, all kinds of crazy things. So we looked into a little bit and, you know, the sport, I think it originated like in the 90s. And our guest, we’ll talk a little bit more about it, in the history of it, but obviously it’s it’s funny, about the work that these people do to get themselves in positions, for, for this extreme ironing.

Tom Heath
It’s it’s it’s a rigorous life. It’s not something that I can easily. I don’t think I’m going to take this on anyway. We’re super excited for Amanda to have her first interview on a life long street car. And, she is with, Tony Stark. Ironing man.

Amanda Mourelatos
All right, I’m here with Kirin, also known as Tony Stark or Ironing Man, who is here today to talk about extreme ironing. How are you doing today?

Tony Starch
Doing great. You.

Amanda Mourelatos
I’m doing good. Thanks for asking. So tell us a little bit about what got you into extreme ironing.

Tony Starch
Well, when I was in high school, this was back before YouTube was actually a thing. I saw an early morning ad. It was for CBS. So, Sunday morning and they had this little blurb about extreme ironing. So it’s this actual sport that exists in England, and it kind of resonated with me. But at the same time, I just forgot all about right after because, you know, high school kid.

Tony Starch
Oh, yeah. And then in about 2012, or maybe I was 19, actually, I what? No. Yeah. 2012 I went to McGill just dragging the awning board out there, took a photo because, you know, why not? Walked right into something on board, took some photos and then realized I needed this, or I needed a project. I want a project.

Tony Starch
I can go do something fun outside, get out and just hang out the body. And I landed on the extreme ironing and it’s just been going ever since then.

Amanda Mourelatos
Oh, wow. So when it comes to extreme ironing, what goes into it when you’re debating like where I should go, what I should take give us like a behind the scenes look of it.

Tony Starch
So the way where the go is kind of easy. I just pick a place. It’s just a trail. I haven’t done so like last week. I’ve always been there. That last week, couple weeks ago, I went to peak. It’s a trail I’ve always thought about doing, just never did it. I knew there’s one chute that people kind of go up on this cable, and I’ve seen that in people’s Instagram pages, and I figured, I’ll just go up there, see if I can take a shot there and just walk around and see what else there is.

Tony Starch
So when I get to a scene, it’s just walking around and looking around and seeing what is there. Is there rock? There are. There’s some cliffs. What’s interesting? Okay.

Amanda Mourelatos
Do you just take, like, a tripod with you or do you have a cameraman?

Tony Starch
My buddy. He’s, the unofficial cameraman. He goes out and part of that was just to go out hiking with him. So we go. I set up the shot, give him the camera, and just take some photos.

Amanda Mourelatos
That’s so cool. Is there any place that you want to go or haven’t gone yet?

Tony Starch
Oh, yeah. I mean, there’s there’s tons of places. One of my my dream shot and that’s been dream shot place since I started. So sharks, they have this thing that’s tonic immobility. If you flip them over, they just sit there and they don’t do anything. And as long as there’s water in the gills, they’re fine. So one of my shots, the dream shot, would be going like Florida.

Tony Starch
Get some reef sharks, flip them upside down and just pose for a quick little shot.

Amanda Mourelatos
My gosh.

Tony Starch
So just anything that’s absurd, I’m cool.

Amanda Mourelatos
Any other ideas like in Tucson or outside of Tucson that you have?

Tony Starch
It’s I’ve got a lot of places, like in Arizona, in Tucson, I’ve done a few. I saw one do some. Martha, you’ve a I want to travel through Arizona and Utah because they’re close. There’s an arboretum. It’s Boyce Arboretum or Bryce Arboretum or something. I want to go up there. Utah’s got all the arches and the bunch of old dunes and all that.

Tony Starch
So there’s not, like, a specific spot I’ve got next I want to do in Tucson, but it’s more of just an where am I going to hike? And a buddy said, Safford Peaks. That’s probably gonna be one the next shots, but, well, we’ll see if we’ll meet.

Amanda Mourelatos
What reactions do you get from people when you tell them, yeah, I’m into extreme ironing.

Tony Starch
It’s both spectrums. You get people who are really into it and the people are yeah. I don’t know what that is. That’s it’s kind of top. There was a shot I did. It was at Mount Lemmon. I’m in a tree and we’re set for the shot. So I climb up this dead tree, and these two girls, they walk by and they just do not want to acknowledge I exist.

Tony Starch
They’re looking to see me look down the whole time this walk by, they have to go back to the car because they forgot the water. They come back again the entire time. They’re just disgusted I exist.

Amanda Mourelatos
Oh my gosh.

Tony Starch
And then last week or not last week, but when I went up to pick people just the whole time, hey, what’s that? What’s going on? And everyone there loved it. So it’s the people just don’t want acknowledge it or people love it.

Amanda Mourelatos
So that’s so weird. Yeah, yeah. Because I when I was doing a little bit of research on you, I was looking through your Instagram and I was like, wow, this is like crazy. Like, I never would have thought of this being something. It’s crazy.

Tony Starch
It is. I mean, that’s the fun of it is. It’s it’s so absurd. It shouldn’t exist. And that’s why why I do it. Because it is absurd. And you think that’s just that ridiculous? If it makes me smile and to make it happen. And that’s exactly why does it count?

Amanda Mourelatos
So I gotta know this is one of those, like, weird shower thoughts. What is your favorite household chore? Is it laundry?

Tony Starch
I don’t know. I have a favorite chore.

Amanda Mourelatos
Yeah.

Tony Starch
I’ve learned to accept ironing. I didn’t used to be for the count, and then I figured I might as well start ironing because I can’t have wrinkled shirts if I’m ironing, man. Of course. But it’s one of those things you can just kind of zone out. It’s you do it in front of TV and you can just zone out and so it’s kind of recharging in a way.

Tony Starch
It’s not like fun, but you just zone out and get them done and let your mind wander.

Amanda Mourelatos
It works. It definitely works out. When it comes to extreme ironing, is there anyone that you’ve tried to, like, recruit for you to like, try and get you to go out there with? Or.

Tony Starch
That I’ve tried or the people who have tried to get me.

Amanda Mourelatos
Either way.

Tony Starch
There’s some. So every now and then someone suggests something and presents an opportunity. I just haven’t quite been able to make it lined up, because there’ll be people in Phoenix who do some circus stuff. And every now and then I’ve had a couple of different people who are involved with like circus and aerial stuff, and that’ll be a great shot and it’ll be fun to learn, but it always just kind of falls through just because of scheduling and people moving, and it just doesn’t work out.

Tony Starch
So I want to do more just weird stuff like that. There was a guy who was kind of pitching the idea of doing a documentary while ago. I’m still not entirely sure if it’s a thing. He was from Singapore, and so he’s a film student, and it may or may not happen if we just travel and do a little documentary, but.

Amanda Mourelatos
That would be pretty cool.

Tony Starch
Yeah, that would be fun for sure.

Amanda Mourelatos
Would you consider yourself? I mean, I’m very outside of the extreme sport, if you will. Would you consider yourself one of the faces of extreme ironing? Or are there people that are just way more out there?

Tony Starch
I’m not sure. I, I think I’ve become a slight face just for at least a few people in Tucson because I’ve been recognized out and about as, hey, that’s the ironing guy. People have come up to me and they’ve talked to me, or they’ve said they’ve seen my hike and they’ll mention it. That that was kind of a thought I had a while back of, am I going to become a face of extreme ironing?

Tony Starch
Like it’s some weird thought? Not. That’s a big sport, but it’s one of those things that it’s it’s weird to think of. Am I am I going to become a face? Am I becoming a face? Do I want to become the face of extreme learning? Do I really want to represent the sport as like, that’s the guy and everything comes back to me.

Amanda Mourelatos
But is there a difference between your personality and that of your alter ego, Tony Stark?

Tony Starch
So, yeah, I mean, I, I think there’s nothing alter ego. It’s I’m more of a performer, performing artist. So if I go out there, I kind of flip a switch and I become that character. It’s the same with. And he’s like the cosmos, like I’ve done Freddie Mercury. I’ve done a bunch of those. I’ll grab the mustache and I’ll dance on the floor and just go crazy, and it’s just the character I kind of embrace and embody, and so it’s nice to go out there and just flip that switch and become the person.

Tony Starch
I think within cosplay itself, no one’s got their own reason why they do stuff. Part of why I did it and got into it was because I like to build stuff. So I would do, I would make the outfits, I would do some woodworking, some metalworking, and just kind of blend it all together. And it’s this way of being creative in a way that you don’t usually get to be in, in the normal everyday situation.

Tony Starch
You can go out and I’ve done Freddie Mercury with the vacuum cleaner. I dropped a speaker in the vacuum cleaner and just played clean at the Comic-Con, and people loved it. You see big bikers who, you know, you wouldn’t expect to have a a positive reaction to a guy in drag. I’m walking around in the skirt from the break free music video.

Tony Starch
What, the vacuum cleaner. And they just look over, they see me, and then they just got this big grin on their face. But I think everyone does it for different reasons. Mine is to have fun and just do stuff I couldn’t do or normally wouldn’t do. Dressed like this.

Tom Heath
You’re listening to the voice of Tony Stark, otherwise known as Iron Man. He is part of this extreme sport of extreme ironing, and he’s being interviewed by Amanda. Mulatto, sir. Our first, interview. A man is done for life. A lot of street car and, doing a great job. We’ll be back to the second half of the conversation between Amanda and Iron Man in just a moment.

Tom Heath
But first, I want to remind you that you’re listening to Lifelong Street Car and Downtown Radio 99.1 FM and streaming on Downtown radio.org.

That is the, fabulous voice of Paleo Dave. You can catch his show every weekday from 7 to 9 a.m.. That’s right. As a volunteer, he puts on two hours every day, high quality music and great banter and conversation. Banter normally involves two people, but with Paleo Dave, he doesn’t need a he doesn’t need a partner.

Tom Heath
He can banter with himself, and, do a fine job with a catch him every weekday, 7 to 9. Love his show. Great way to start your day there. Well, our show today is also quite exciting. If you’re just joining us, our our interviewer is the, none other than Amanda mulatto. She is the, intern that we’ve been talking about that came to us through the school of journalism, has been doing a ton of work behind the scenes, and today stepped in front of the the camera and the microphone to, to be the, the star of our show with guest Tony Starch.

Tom Heath
He, he does extreme ironing. Yeah. You heard that right. First part of the interview, we talked a lot about his history and background and then kind of how he got into this role. And then we’re going to finish up the second portion of the interview. Really kind of focusing on this ironing component and, this international sport of extreme ironing.

Amanda Mourelatos
If someone wanted to get into extreme ironing, what would you recommend to them?

Tony Starch
Well, go to goodwill, get some cheap irons because you’re going to break them. Get cheap board because again, you don’t want to take a nice border ironing or iron out there that’s just get dirty. But get a friend who you want to travel with, go out, make it just a a trip, an event don’t like. The ironing is great to do for the shoot, but also the whole aspect of going out and traveling and just hanging out with a friend and exploring a little bit.

Tony Starch
So it’s just have fun and do whatever you think is dumb. Just do it.

Amanda Mourelatos
Is that why you decided to do it? Just because it was something very personal, you just wanted to have fun and just do something weird for once.

Tony Starch
I mean, I do a lot of weird things. It was just a different, weird thing that I do. But yeah, I’ve done a lot of weird things. I’ve done a lot of cosplay live outfits and just a lot of stuff, but it’s it’s a venue that I’ve used outfits. It’s allowed me to do more than just photography, like I’ve made some merchandise, logos, designs, graphic stuff and just it’s a weird niche that’s had me allowed me to build other things that are related to it.

Tony Starch
Like I’ve got an ironing board or an iron back there that has, the rock climbing rope out of it. So I just took out the actual plug, put some rock climbing ropes in it, and just taking apart, rebuilding it to look like it’s supposed to be that way. So yeah.

Amanda Mourelatos
And for our listeners right behind us, we have an ironing board all set up with a nicely ironed shirt, couple of irons that he uses. We also have what looks like a little candle with a little iron and a little mini ironing board. It is the cutest thing ever. Are there conventions where ironing men get together?

Tony Starch
So the guy who founded it, he was in England and he went out one day and just had to ring in the woods. He made like an actual extreme ironing competition, and it went out for a couple of places where they would go out and they would be judged based off of how clean their iron was, how creative they were, and all that.

Tony Starch
So there’s been a few actual competitions, if you will. But it’s kind of died out, so there aren’t really any, like, conventions yet. Don’t yet.

Amanda Mourelatos
Is there something like smaller scale, like a Facebook group for extreme iron nerds or anything like that?

Tony Starch
There isn’t yet. There’s I mean, there’s hiking groups out of camps are joining and try to get into that.

Amanda Mourelatos
Okay.

Tony Starch
As another goal I want is to make, like, a, like a mock competition of like us versus other countries for running and just assemble like a team where again, it’s just all all for fun and just kind of mocking it just because. Why not?

Amanda Mourelatos
That would be really fun. That would be super cool. Is there any other plans that you have with Extreme Ironing? Any goals near future? Far future?

Tony Starch
I mean, the near future. I’m trying to get some like a merch line out so I can get some some funding for it so I can do trips and go out and just drive out to California and, you know, go on an actual road trip for a few days with my body. One of the ultimate goals, because someone had asked me a while ago and I thought about it and you can get an honorary doctorate for doing just about anything, right?

Amanda Mourelatos
This is.

Tony Starch
So. They don’t mean a thing. You can go out, you give a speech and you get your doctorate. Why can’t you get one? For extreme irony, there’s no reason you can’t. They don’t exist yet.

Amanda Mourelatos
But you could be the.

Tony Starch
First I could. Yeah. And I mean, it would just be fun to be like, I’m actually it’s honorary doctorate and extreme ironing. Just.

Amanda Mourelatos
You know, no big deal. Yeah, no big deal at all. Well, thank you so much. I really appreciate your time. If there is anyone that is wanting to purchase your merchandise, how would they go about,

Tony Starch
I haven’t launched the website yet. It’s out there. If you follow me on Instagram, which is just at Iron Man, underscore, eventually I’m going to link the site on there. You could message me or DM me directly on Instagram, but I’ve got stickers. I’m trying to get out there, shirts and it’s it’s slowly coming.

Tony Starch
It’s just all that business side that’s going to take me a while to get, you know, ironed out.

Amanda Mourelatos
Well, best of luck on your adventures. And thank you so much for your time.

Tony Starch
Yes, thanks for having me.

Tom Heath
I was so excited about that entire interview until he said he was working on getting the details ironed out, and I just, I lost it. That was Tony Stark ironing, man. He was being interviewed by Amanda, mulattos, our intern from the UK School of Journalism. He was talking about the sport of extreme ironing. The, his, his his Instagram is really a lot of fun.

Tom Heath
If you have a chance to check it out, Iron man underscore. And there’s photos of him all over, doing, crazy things with that ironing board. It’s it’s it actually is a lot of fun. Look forward to when his merch is out. We’ll of course share that when, when it is available. My name is Tom Heath.

Tom Heath
All right. Well, we are, coming to the close here. A very special episode. Episode 317, in which, Amanda, mulattos and, Tony Stark had a chance to talk on life along the streetcar. And I have to tell you, it’s, it’s. I know it’s probably sounds silly, but after doing the show for seven years to have someone that is interested in and, joining us to kind of learn how to do her own podcast, and then kind of stepping up in the way she has and, you know, watching her research, I kind of got a little nervous because she was like, researching, extreme ironing and and, Kieran and

Tom Heath
Tony, you know, the Tony Stark, ego, alter ego there. And I was like, oh, man, she’s researching. I got to step up my game. But it’s been a lot of fun. And, I’m excited to have her do more as we roll into the new year. I think she did a great job and looking forward to, having her, explore more interviews on life along the streetcar.

Tom Heath
And again, you can check out her podcast, which is Amanda’s Archives and as archives talks to artists. And that that is a broad term. And she could be a tattoo artist. It can be a, someone that does painting or sculpting. And she also talks to creative people. She had, a fairly recent bride on the show to talk about the, the trials and tribulations of, of wedding planning and, you know, the things that go wrong and how you sort of overcome those or get through those, and, you know, great one to get us Amanda’s archives.

Tom Heath
You can find that on, on Spotify. Well, extreme ironing is just like the name says. It’s going to put you on top of a mountain or under water. Or maybe skydiving. Who knows, maybe you’re on the back of a moving truck or something and ironing. But if you want to get a little exercise and excitement without all that extreme, and, I won’t say unnecessary ness because I guess if you’re an extreme athlete, it’s necessary.

Tom Heath
But for me it seems too much. I’m not going to do extreme ironing, but something I might do is ice skating nice and safe. Ice skating. You know, the rink is up in front of the convention center. Was put up just after Thanksgiving. It’ll be up till, early in the new year. So if you want to head down town and do a little, a little ice skating, the, the rink is available, courtesy of Renovo.

Tom Heath
It looks like, El Toro. The El Charro family of restaurants has been a lot of big supporter of that. And if I read the sign right, you can actually get, like, hot cocoa and churros. Which, you know, because it’s like 80 degrees in December. You know, we definitely need some hot cocoa out there, but the nights are chilly.

Tom Heath
It’d be fun for skating. If you’re looking for more things to do, we recommend you head over to, the different, websites of the, the core urban core sort of districts. You’ve got the Mercato district on the west side, downtown, fourth Avenue, Main Gate University. They all have different websites with events and things happening. We try to pull all those together through life along the streetcar and, you know, so if you check out our Facebook page and stay in tune with that, we we try to promote stuff.

Tom Heath
Although I will tell you, we we’ve gotten we’ve been a little lax with that because of all these other things that have been happening in our, and our world as we’re getting the studio ready for public consumption and other things. So we’ll get better and we’ll get better at it, I promise. Well, again, I really appreciate you listening to this very, very special show.

Tom Heath
You know, if you have any topics that you want us to cover, if there’s anything you think we should be talking about, you know, this is a hyper local show about the University of Arizona is like three miles, seven years a show. So, you know, we’d like to go deep into those, into those hidden gems. So share on Instagram, Facebook, tag us if you’ve got a cool website or a cool, social media page, let us know.

Tom Heath
We’d love to share and promote you as well and get this collaboration moving along. And if you want to reach us, you can do so by email, which is contact at life along the Street car.org.

Tom Heath
It’s a 2018 song. It’s off an album called Fairy Tale almost, and it’s a take on ironing, in which I don’t think she is as enamored with ironing as Tony starches. But, you’ll get the gist of it. This is, Polly, polymers from 2018. The song is called ironing. And I hope you have a great week.

Tom Heath
And tune in next Sunday for more life along the streetcar.
