Who they are and why they're a dick is up to you.
And here to share their Desert Island Dicks with us today
is host of The Rival Show,
but you might know him from Big Brother 5 or Ultimate Big Brother, Victor Ebuah.
That's me. That would be myself.
Hello. Thank you very much for joining me, Vic.
Thanks for coming in, man.
You were just saying to me, Ultimate Big Brother, wasn't all that?
You know it's not going to be good when
someone starts with a deep breath
yeah
well what the concept
was what was
needed yeah basically
the whole thing was that Big Brother
was coming to an end on Channel 4
the end of the circle
so they thought why don't we get some of
a collection of the best housemates
who have been in throughout the prior seasons or shows, series.
That's a compliment, right?
Yeah, well, in some sort of way, I guess, yeah.
But I've had better compliments.
So there's been hundreds by now of these mutants that have gone into the house.
Yeah.
Now, initially, you know, there's Big Brother,
which is normal, you or I will go in there.
And then they've got Celebrity Big Brother.
Celebrity Big Brother.
Big Brother is in the summer.
Celebibies tends to be just after Christmas or New Year's.
Right, right, right.
And they put some celebrities who once were doing well
and now just put us out of our misery
right right
they shove them in the house
right right
so what they
what they thought they would do
is they'd make a mash up
of all of that
right
the problem
the first thing they did wrong was
they did it at the back end
of
the longest ever Big Brother
so
my one was 10 weeks
right right
this one was 16 weeks
for four months and you know you know Big Brother so my one was 10 weeks this one was 16 weeks four months
and you know
Big Brother starts
getting pants
after about week four
so we've still got
three months of this shit
oh man
it's a long time
fuck my life
it's not a week is it
you know what I mean
yeah
rather than them
thinking right
let people breathe
for God's sake
yeah yeah yeah
for God's sake take yeah yeah for God's sake
take a blood pressure
yeah yeah
let's give it a
month's break or
whatever let's all
refresh and see our
families
kiss our babies
yeah
you know mum's out
of a coma now
let's go see her
yeah
nope
let's all just do it
all right at the end
of the 16 weeks
right
whichever poor
survivor
right
who's ever we open the door
and whatever carcass
crawls out of that door
oh my god
gets a two minute chat
with Davina McCool
and then
put in a catapult
and flung back over
the wall
get fucking back in there
you do it out here
get back in
oh my god
stun batons at the ready
no
but not just that
let's put
15
other tossers right right with ridiculously over the
top egos right oh man based on the nonsense adulation they received from sycophants and
social misfits around about the time when they were in the house oh my god man they still think
they're fucking somebody so let's put this poor poor chick in there with him for another three weeks
fucking hell man you know i mean call the samaritans if she makes it out the other end
oh my god she needs to talk to someone right now forget that right so she's got cabin fever
yeah she's in there with brian dowling yeah yeah yeah he's a funny guy but at the best of times
you need to take five minutes off him
every hour because it's all showbiz yeah right right it's all that 24 7 even even at all you're
on he's interviewing you like it's not a convo he's interviewing you as if he's like he's lorraine
kelly right he's not eamon holmes yeah yeah yeah yeah he wants to really know shit about you. Yeah, yeah, right. It's not funny. Right, yeah, yeah. You know what I mean?
One of us is going to cry at the end of this chat.
Why?
Oh, my God.
Coolio from Gangster's Paradise.
But not Gangster's Paradise Coolio.
Like...
Wait 20 years past midlife crisis.
Got extensions in my hair to still resemble the plaits I had
in Gang of
Paradise
motherfucker
Julio
Nadia the
transsexual

to be called
Jorge

transsexual

sex change
one big
brother
spunked all
her money
back living
in the council flat.
And is there for the money that's been offered.
But still wants to be treated as a...
I'm talking about those stories.
Right, okay.
I heard stories from people before they went in.
Right.
Saying Nadia was having meltdowns backstage.
Oh, man.
You know, that proper Whitney Houston shit.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because Nadia won Big Brother 5.
So the ego was weapons grade.
Oh man, I remember that Big Brother so well.
Mate.
You were there, right there, man.
Do you know who you see in front of you right now?
Yeah.
You've seen the film Predator, yeah?
Yeah, yeah.
You know Arnold Schwarzenegger at the end when he's in the helicopter?
Yeah.
And he's after the explosion, right?
And he's got all the fucking dust and blood.
And everyone wants to say something to him,
but they know the first person who opens their mouth is getting eye gouged.
Whoever speaks is becoming Nick Fury in the Marvel fucking cinematic universe.
Leave me alone.
Oh, my God.
That's me.
That's me after Big Brother.
Or Jon Snow right now in Game of Thrones.
Okay, yeah.
I started off like, yeah, you know, got killed.
Yeah.

I've done been it all.
And now I'm shagging my auntie, who I don't know is my auntie.
That's where you're at.
What, mate?
That's where you're at now.
What the fuck are you gonna tell me
about life that was mate and that's just people walking through the door press them from the
ordinary boys it was with chantelle yeah yeah michelle bass who are they best were they both

kind of contrived love story
but this is business
I understand
it's business
yeah yeah
this is how
this is how
this is how you make money
so big up Chantal

part Nigerian
because you are ruthless
yeah

Let's get with Alex Reid.
You know what I mean?
Boom, let's have a kid
and then boom, that's more money.
Oh my God.
Cash machine.
Honestly.
These people,
there's people who understand
how this industry
in the country works.
And I take my hat off.
Yeah.
I take my hat off.
Hey, if I could do it.
Yeah.
If I could do it,
I'd marry Alex Reid
if you told me I was gonna
well okay I wouldn't
fucking ruin me
wouldn't you
yeah
right
I don't want that smoke
yeah
okay
cool
so
honestly man
you went in then
nasty Nick
yeah nasty Nick
yeah
he's got to have been like
nasty Nick
that's got to be one of the most remembered names
because that was the first one, wasn't it?
The first one.
Yeah, yeah.
They put a sociopath in you.
I'm saying it, Bateman.
Handle your shit, brother.
You've heard it.
You know what I mean?
Because you'll hear this.
But I tell you, it's like Craig won it, right?
That first one.
Yeah.
But Nasty Nick will always be the most remembered.
Isn't it right?
Yeah.
He was living the life.
He told me stories of he came out Ferrari.
Because this was back in the day.
Yeah.
First one.
It was new.
Yeah, first one.
You walk through Leicester Square, they had a big, giant TV, 24 hours on Big Brother.
Whoa.
You got to see Darren tugging one out in the shower.
Yes, yeah.
Yeah, and everyone was glued to it for that.
When's he going gonna blow his own
when's he
someone in some
some bookie in India
was taking bets on it
yeah
that's how big it was
yeah
so yeah
and when you look at what he got
notorious for
right
nothing
yeah of course
oh yeah
vote for this
I'm talking about
if he had come out of them
somebody would have
bricked him
that kind of like
just because he was
writing someone's name
it's crazy to think
it went from that
but he was the one
who said it
who made the whole thing
explode
people were gripped
to whatever he was
getting up to
oh he's sneaky
he's going to
premierise with
Brad Pitt afterwards
that's crazy
stuff like Ferrari
just giving him a Ferrari
no way
it's like
the thing is right
at that point
people had never seen
it in that way
right
there wasn't anything
like that before
no
it just started off
as a
one
it was a social experiment
in Holland
because you know
these guys smoke
hella weed
out there
you know what I mean
so they've got
different fucking concepts
coming out of the arms
yeah
they probably invented
Gogglebox
yeah
let's all sit at home
watch some people
watch TV
yeah
this is a show people
there's a show in this
you know what I mean
it was some Dutch motherfucker
I'm telling you
right
these guys yeah
put people in a dome
and let's watch them interact
blah blah blah
and one of those Dutch people
saw it and thought,
why don't we just do this with normal people?
Yeah.
And it just went worldwide.
That's it.
So.
Oh, man.
Oh, mate, that's crazy.
It was.
What an insight, though.
It was a lot.
But, like, okay, now we're on the subject.
We got there early, right?
Yeah, we did.
But you've got to think back to, like, when you first applied, right?
What was the, like, the application? Because, obviously, when you first applied, right? What was the like the application?
Because obviously when you applied, you'd seen it before
and you were like, I'm going to go in for this.
Yeah.
It was a different perception, right?
You were like, that looks like fun or...
No, that's 100% exactly not what happened.
That's probably what happened with most normal humans, right?
Yeah.
But I'm a lion, mate.
We roamed the jungle.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm not a human.
Yeah. Now I've given myself that big build right? Yeah. But I'm a lion, mate. We roam the jungle. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not a human. Yeah.
Now, I've given myself
that big build-up.
Yeah.
The real reason
is the stupidest shit
you'll ever hear.
Right?
So I've got a friend,
I had a friend,
that was at university.
Yeah.
I had a friend
who kept auditioning
for this stupid
Big Brother show
that I keep frigging
seeing everywhere.
Yeah, yeah.
The reason I see it
is because at university
I was a bit of a popular guy
and I somehow
would find my way
in the rooms
with other ladies
let's say that
I was having a lot of sex
with other ladies
at university
and this show was on
in the background
while I was trying
to romance them
and confuse them
and attract them to me
right
cool
that's why I knew
what the show was
one of my friends
kept auditioning for it
right
and didn't make it onto the show right we of my friends kept auditioning for it right and didn't make it
onto the show
right
we was at university
together
one of them
situations where you've got
a load of friends around
and it's all load of banter
yeah yeah yeah
and I was giving it to him
mercilessly
how can you not get on the show
you know what I mean
and he
everyone was laughing
he went
you couldn't get on it
oh
yeah
he stuck it on me.
But in front of everybody.
The whole room was like Western.
The whole room went quiet.
What's he going to do?
Yes, I could.
Five pounds says you couldn't.
Five quid bet.
Yeah.
With my good friend Obadiah fucking Matthew.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm putting your name out there.
And that was it.
I had to go and audition
because he put it on me
for five quid
and then you just
you went
you were real I guess
and then they were like
right you're in
you said how it is
the audition process
lasted a number of months
right
it was
it was crazy
it's quite a long time
I found out I was going in
about a month
before I went in
and let's say
I started auditioning
in January
so in those days
it started in may yeah yeah that's a good few months good few months and like and what helped
was because i wasn't i wasn't about this life i wasn't it wasn't about tv or reality show any of
that i didn't really want to be seen i was yeah doing what i was doing in other years the
application process was you fill out a big application form and you film yourself and send the video in right yeah yeah right i'm not doing that shit i don't have time for that i've
got to get on with the rest of my life yeah right this year because the year before mine was so bad
yeah lost endorsements yeah it was they were looking channel four looking to cut it off
if this was another so it had to be a good it had to be a good year. So they just thought,
right,
let's go and raid Arkham Asylum
in Gotham City
and see if we can get the Joker
and a few of his mates
and put them in there.
Let's give the people,
you think you want to see some shit?
Here you go.
Right?
Hold my drink.
You know,
I've got this.
Right?
Open audition.
To make it even easier for me,
it was in the Excel Centre in Canning Town,
which is like 10 minutes from me.
Doorstep challenge.
Walked down, yeah.
All you've got to do is turn up, Vic.
That was it.
And this guy, Obi, was on me.
He called me.
I used to go home from Brunel University on the weekends
from Uxbridge to East London.
So I was there.
I met up with my guys.
We partied.
Obi calls me.
Are you going to the audition today?
When is it?
It started at nine.
What time is it?
Two.
You owe me five pound, bruv.
Set up like the Undertaker.
You can get five pound from me.
You know what I mean?
Went to Canning Town.
Tens of thousands of people
queuing around the building
i'm like oh fuck sake i said how long is queue time um someone said five hours
and this is like you queue to have a a mini audition outside the building you might not
even get into the excel center you might get just told no you're not through and you're
five hours okay yeah so i thought fuck that shit i pushed in the front
and then it gave it
a couple of minutes,
murmurings,
and then some people went,
oh, excuse me,
have you pushed in?
No, I haven't pushed in.
A little bit of arguing.
I threatened to headbutt someone.
Did you?
Yeah.
I just thought,
let's just go zero to 100
on these fuckers, innit?
And then a little woman
comes over
and she says,
right, what's going on?
They said, oh oh he's pushed in
I said I haven't pushed in
there's no clear signage
that says that this is
where the line begins
right
so I'm just taking
advantage of my right
as a citizen of London
to stand where I want
and I choose to stand
right here
she goes yeah
alright then big mouth
you
so they take ten of you
out of the line
and you've each got ten seconds to say why you should be on Big Brother and I was just giving it Yeah? All right then, big mouth. You, so they take 10 of you out of the line.
And you've each got 10 seconds to say why you should be on Big Brother.
Right.
And I was just giving it large about wanting to win the money.
I don't want to make friends.
I don't want any of that.
These are all tossers.
Look at them.
Blah, blah, blah.
Everyone went down.
She goes, right, you've got to nominate one person to leave the queue, the process.
Everyone was standing around scratching their willies.
I went, this guy here and she went
oh why
he said he's been
to the Dublin auditions
to the Manchester auditions
and to
this is the second one
of his London auditions
so he's been to six
auditions
and he hasn't got in
there's fuck all interesting
about you mate
just knock it off
knock it on the head fella
brutal
she was like
everyone was like
no get rid of him
he threatened to headbutt me
he pushed in
da da da
so she goes
you come out of the queue mate
I was like
oh fuck this
started walking off
waddling down the road
actually I was quite a lean back then
so I was walking off
right
she goes
no no you wait there
she turns to the others
and says
oh guys sorry
you haven't made it at this point
you know
thanks for trying.
Thanks for auditioning,
but you're welcome to try again.
All right?
Victor, come here.
Stamp my hand with a big I.
So right now I'm gassed in it.
So I'm going,
I'm like, what's going on, guys?
You locked you for four hours.
I've been there for like, what?
Four minutes?
Suck it!
That's what it was.
Went in and then they
put me into
another group
a lot of it was like
watching how you
interact in groups
who's the extroverts
who's the introverts
they were like
oh
go in this group
with ten people
we want you to talk
about the escalating
situation in the
middle east
what do you think
about it
we sat down
and I said
and they started
talking about
no what do you
think Victor
no I don't want to talk about this as your shit.
Let's talk about it.
Did Michael Jackson, did all those boys?
That's what I want to talk about.
Oh my God.
What do you think, huh?
Why is he giving them fucking Jesus juice?
Am I right?
Do you think, what's happening here?
What's happening at Neverland Ranch?
Really?
We don't want to talk about this.
Is that what you're saying?
Yeah, yeah.
So everyone was turned on me and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Lined us up.
It was like, you know, a firing squad.
Everyone else go home.
Vic, you're through.
Really?
Just like that?
And I just clocked that.
If I'd be as much of a douchebag as I possibly can,
which isn't hard as you've clocked,
I will make this.
And in a few months,
we went through different things.
I know so much about this fucking process, mate.
Yeah, but the thing is, like, in that,
you just did whatever the fuck you wanted, right?
All the other people auditioning were being super self-conscious,
right, about what they were doing.
But you just rocked up and just did it,
and you were just like,
no, I'm just going to do it this way, straight through.
When I realised it, it all got out of hand.
I was in the house.
I was in the house, in bed.
And you were like...
And everyone, autism, and I'm like,
what the fuck am I doing here?
I should have just given Obi the five quid.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
And to this day, he hasn't given me the five quid.
But that changed your life.
Yeah.
He owes you five pounds.
He owes me a lot more
because this dude, like, is a ladies' man.
Oh, really?
And just through being around me, yeah,
phew, some of the the one night love that has occurred yeah it's my back
this guy should be kissing my feet i'm king jaffee joffer and coming to america
yeah yeah no big up big up obi yeah okay okay but then yeah like i said game changer right it
must have changed things for you you come out out and people are recognising you in the street.
They're like... Coming from where I'm from,
you don't really want to be recognised.
You're not supposed to be getting recognised.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What was good about Big Brother was
it was around some of the first legal money
I had made in my life.
And it kind of put the fucking coffin into the ground
on me doing anything that was outside
of the realms of conventional morality.
Right, okay.
Let's just say that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, I was already slowing down anyway.
I've got a child, right?
Yeah.
I don't fancy him visiting me surrounded by a hundred other fucking goons.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
In the clink.
Yeah, yeah.
So, you know.
Yeah, fine.
Okay, yeah.
It was, for the most part, it's been positive, I'd say.
Yeah, well, thank you for coming in.
Victor.
Is that the end of this?
No, no, no.
I mean...
I feel like someone's going to come out and shoot me.
I feel like I've known you all my life now.
Do you know what I mean?
It's an emotional...
We're having a moment here, mate.
We are, yeah.
I feel like we're really connecting.
Did you know that?
Jeez.
Can I have a minute?
Yeah, mate.
Yeah, I need to go and have a light.
Jesus Christ. Okay, Vic. Well, I need to go and have a light nap. Jesus Christ.
Okay, Vic.
Well, thank you so much for coming in.

My first choice is my dad.
Your dad?
Yeah, pops.
God bless you.
You're going in with your own dad?
I love you, Johnny Booer.
I'm going in with my dad, but he's a difficult chap.
Okay.
You know, he's a complicated man like a shaft, but no one understands him.
I'll tell the listeners,
your face has changed a little bit.
It's gone a little bit like...
I feel like I need a gospel choir behind me
because I'm going to take you to church.
I'm going to preach.
I need an amen.
Amen.
There you go.
Right.
My dad.
He just wants everything done his own way.
Yeah, okay. We're on a desert island. Yeah. Nothing's ever good enough for this man. Really? My dad He just wants everything done his own way Yeah okay
We're on a desert island
Yeah
Nothing's ever good enough for this man
Really
Nothing I do is good enough for him
We'll be on this beach
And he'll be like
Ah
Afam
That's my Nigerian
Afam
There's too much sand
Yeah
Pick
Take sand
Each grain
Yeah
Put in the ocean
We'll still be on a desert
we'll still be
you know what I mean
yeah yeah
sand everywhere
really
is that the kind of thing
you're getting from him
he was the best at everything
right right right
it's bad enough
we're stuck on this desert island
but all of a sudden
when it's desert island
he's fucking Bear Grylls
right yeah okay
he's trying to
apart from one thing
Bear Grylls
I think Bear Grylls he takes liberties with the people one thing bear grills i think bear grills he takes
liberties with the people he does on these things i think he just wants to get everyone out there to
drink their piss i've been i see it's a whole experiment see how much fucking people gonna
drink their own piss i feel like i'm sorry bear let me stop you there fella my life is not actually
at risk right now there's a fucking there's a fucking paramedic there. The whole thing is so people can drink their own piss. Yeah.
What?
Is this necessary?
Tangy bear.
Have some of mine.
It'll hydrate you.
Oh my God.
Do they always end up drinking their own piss?
They're always drinking their piss.
This is how we survive in the wild.
You know, oh, look, there's a grub worm.
Let's think.
Can't I just get the fucking cameraman
to pass me a chaka bar
off camera?
I don't really need to eat it.
You know,
I've just come here.
My agents made me come here
because this is good
for my career.
But drinking piss
is not going to be good
for me,
for my soul.
You know what I mean?
Right, right.
You know what I mean?
No one needs to be
drinking their own piss
on TV.
What else do you think
is necessary, babe?
At night time,
you know, when you're in the wild,
we should all take our clothes off and just all spoon, you know.
Body heat is the most natural bear.
No, thank you, bear.
I'm telling you, keep an eye on bear.
That's what my dad is.
Everything that you're doing, you're doing all the heavy lifting.
But he knows that.
He knows better.
You should do it like this.
You should do it like this.
Bastard. Idiot. You're a sluts boy. Right, okay. Bafoon. You should do it like this. You should do it like this. Bastard.
Idiot.
You're a sluts boy.
Right, okay.
Bafoon.
You can't do anything right.
Can't do anything right.
I've saved... Bear it in mind,
for us to get where
everywhere we are,
maybe I was piloting the plane,
I have crash landed us
in this spot.
We would all be dead.
It's all down to you.
But he's given me
a breakdown of the analysis
as to what i could
have done better right right right he would have been able to save us by performing a loop the loop
or something right right right right yeah yeah yeah man this is my life that's gonna be tough
this is my life we're learning a lot about you yeah you know i mean what was he like when you're
on big brother then well when i first went in, the world survived.
Because just as the gods have blessed me from above,
he was on a trip, just on a trip back to Nigeria.
So for the first three weeks, he wasn't back.
Right, right, right.
The legend goes that when he three weeks into it
he's sitting in the living room
and he says
ah
where is Afam
he's been back for a couple of weeks
by the way now
whatever
where is Afam
he just
do you ever see
he just noticed
and my sister's put it on channel 4
and it happened to be me there
I don't know
I was maybe going to the toilet
to go and curl one out
or something like that
but then he raised
a whole load of racket
with Channel 4
like
did he
yeah
all of a sudden
he was Martin Luther fucking King
was he
yeah like
it was Nelson Mandela
was he trying to get
his own thing going on
I don't
I think he just was
you know
you know like
if my dad was in the comic book
the DC comic book universe
he'd be the Joker
would he
he's just dangerous
because you can't
you don't know what is
what is his
what are his reasons
right yeah
you can't negotiate
with this man
yeah yeah yeah
you cannot
even if you agree with him
he'll find a way
to mind fuck you with it
whoever this is right
and obviously
it is your dad
yeah
that's a tough
character to be
none of
to be stuck with
to be stuck with
on the island
and to be
because he was only
five foot two only five foot
two it was five foot two but he had the presence of you know like that film highlander yes where
you where's another immortal when he walks into a room everybody sensed the presence there can be
only one there can be only one johnny bua right bless him. He was a good man. He was a good man. Johnny Bua. Five foot two, but Jesus Christ, he was a giant.
Was he?
Yeah.
Wow.
And Darth Vader.
And he let you fucking know it.
Yeah, really.
Come to your football matches,
criticise the life out of you,
praise one of your mates.
Really?
Thanks, Dad.
Get in the car, nothing.
Get in the car.
You might have given away possession one time
he's on you
for a month
really
on you for a month
that's tough
when I was playing
in Nigeria
tough love
or just tough
it was a bit of both
a bit of both
yeah
he was a
Jedi mind tricker
oh really
that's what he was
right there
he taught Obi-Wan Kenobi
did he
yeah he taught him
even Marcio fell out over some bullshit and he went his own way.
I can see it.
You know?
Oh, man.
Okay.
So far, it's you and your dad.
Who's going to be your second choice?
The second choice is going to be the Night King from Game of Thrones.
Yes, I saw this, right?
Okay, so to listeners that haven't seen Game of Thrones, who's the Night King?
The Night King is the leader of an undead army
of myth and legend,
last seen thousands of years ago in a fantasy world
called Westeros.
There's different kingdoms
who have all got their own hierarchy,
but at the top of the food chain is
the king yeah right it's been different people robert baratheon um joffrey you might have heard
of yeah joffrey yeah i know he was a bastard god damn it you better be his parent or you're
fucked anyone anybody can get it yeah right but okay basically, it's a world of humans and the powerful take advantage of the poor and everyone's jostling for position and power throughout this.
And there's different people with different claims to the throne all fighting for it.
There's a chick who's got frigging dragons for crying out loud.
And nobody's seen dragons.
A lot of stuff that you might have heard of and people think are bullshit.
That's what I'm saying.
It's sort of almost like today's world, but fantasy in a fantasy realm of swords and sandals, that kind of stuff that you might have heard of and people think are bullshit, that's what I'm saying. It's sort of almost like today's world,
but fantasy in a fantasy realm
of swords and sandals,
that kind of stuff.
And all the stuff you think's bullshit right now,
these guys, it's happening.
So you could be there
and there are dragons floating.
What the fuck?
It's a fucking dragon.
Do you know what I mean?
And there's a chick running about
who says she's got a claim to the throne.
She's got three of these fuckers.
Nobody in the world has got a claim to the throne she's got three of these fuckers nobody in the world's got she's like nobody in the world has got a knife but she has got scud missiles yeah right okay yeah
yeah who's a tough guy yeah i'm in charge now yeah yeah and she's got an army of absolute savages
who just want to kill people for no goddamn reason i feel like yeah she's gonna win right you'd think so
she's even got an army of dudes who've been castrated so all they can all they do is think
about is fighting wow they can't even have a tug yeah yeah imagine that pent up yeah you can't even
how are we doing this guys fuck better break out the last step last season of friends again yeah and then but what they don't know is
in amongst all they're just killing each other for power on the other side they've got a big wall
that is meant to keep another whole band of lawless there's a whole race of lawless humans
living beyond this barrier it It's kind of like,
I think it must be like what Scotland was like when the Romans,
they built Hadrian's wall.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And let's think about this guys,
the Romans,
right.
Who conquered most of the world,
went everywhere and made everyone their bitch.
Came to England,
done them in the ass.
Right.
And then went up,
took a look over in Scotland,
had a look at what
was going on over there
thought fuck that
it's easier
for us to build a wall
across the whole fucking
isle
get these dickheads
up there
then try it
yeah
you know
you're good guys
yeah yeah
you do your thing
we'll do ours
yeah
there's those dudes there
that's what this wall's
here for
but people also say
this wall is here
to keep zombies yeah there were zombies generations ago okay that. That's what this wall's here for. But people also say this wall is here to keep zombies.
Yeah.
There were zombies generations ago.
Okay, okay.
That's what's made this...
And people are like, it's bullshit, right?
But these zombies are real.
And their boss is the Night King.
Oh.
And whoever he kills, he raises from the dead to join his army.
There's a snowball effect.
Yeah.
It's bad.
It's rough, yeah.
It's rough.
Yeah.
You know, there's better things to do on your weekend. Yeah. I can think of a few. Yeah. It's bad. It's rough, yeah. It's rough. Yeah. You know, there's better things
to do on your weekend.
Yeah.
I can think of a few.
Yeah.
This dude here,
the Night King,
I don't want to be with him
on the island.
No.
He's not going to be much fun.
No.
Is he?
And he's not even going to
fucking let you die.
No.
The one,
if worse comes to worse
and you think,
I could die.
Yeah.
Not with this fucker around.
He's keeping you up.
I've never had resurrection on this before.
I've never had that.
That would be nasty.
You're just like, right, the only way out here is if I go, right.
Yeah.
That's it, guys.
I've had enough.
I'm doing myself in.
Drops mic.
Right, that's it.
Yeah.
Don't worry about it.
You're back from the dead.
And you're just going to have to live eternally
with this fella
with this dude
so far
it's you
your dad
and the Night King
it's not going well
it's not going well
it's not a good look
the party's not going to make it
so who's going to be
your third choice
come dine with me
jeez okay
I know
you're a podcast listener
and this is a podcast ad
reach great listeners
like yourself
with podcast
advertising from lips and ads choose from hundreds of top podcasts offering host endorsements or run
a reproduced ad like this one across thousands of shows to reach your target audience with lips and
ads go to lips and ads.com now that's l-i-b-s-y-n ads.com my third choice is to be the one and only leader of the Conservative Party and British politics, the government, Theresa May.
Yeah. So instantly sticks out like Theresa May.
OK, dare I ask, where does this come from?
It comes from several places, none of which are particularly good.
No, good.
Okay, let's go.
Her only role for being with us is to perhaps bring some kind of order
and organisation to proceedings.
We're stranded.
For God's sake, let's get organised.
That's what she should be doing.
Yeah.
From how she's handled her own party and this whole Brexit debacle
let me start using
political
yeah here we go
debacle
right
yeah
she couldn't organise
a handjob
in Belmar's prison
yeah
right
in the lifers section
yeah
I know
you know
are you kidding me
yeah what do we need okay can she organize some entertainment nights or
some dances have you seen theresa may dance no yeah it's amazing i can't dance with her do you
know what though that i think right she did that once and the first time the first time she had no
idea what was going on and then some pr spinner said to her oh everyone is warming to
you now right do that again and then and then all of a sudden she's doing it all the time
it's crazy isn't it ricky gervais all of us i know yeah yeah yeah what is she bringing to to
our lives right now and what's what what makes it worse for her is i've now lost respect for her
as a person yeah as a person.
Yeah.
As a person.
I'm a man who believes in girl power.
I was raised amongst real women.
Four sisters and a strong mum.
Yeah.
Who now is overbearing,
overprotective.
Yeah.
Day in, day out.
But she's got the good feet
so that's why I go around there.
Love you, mum.
She's got the good feet.
Yeah.
She's got that good African.
Jollof rice.
Nigerian jollof as well.
No, that Ghanaian stuff.
Anyway. Yeah. I've lost respect for Theresa May. she got that good African jollof fries Nigerian jollof as well like that Ghanaian stuff anyway yeah
I've lost respect
for Theresa May
you know what I mean
and it comes in the form of
it was bad enough
she had
some of her
MPs go on
tonight
with that other bald dude
that
and they were dancing
to some
David Ram Jam
Roddick
and that was bad
when I saw Michael Portillo
dancing I thought you know oh nodick and that was bad. When I saw Michael Portillo dancing,
I thought, you know.
Oh no, that's bad.
That's the worst.
Mate, it was like seeing my dad run over my face naked
while I was lying on the floor.
Too much danglage and old man Willie.
Old man Willie.
He was moving around
and he was like Linfa Christie in the 80s, mate.
You know what I mean too much old man
Willie
mate
there's no such
there's no good thing
about
when I'm an old man
and I've got a Willie
I'll know I've got
old man Willie
yeah
let's keep that thing
holstered
you know what I mean
keep it holstered
none of those robes
where you know
your Willie
can just poke out
yeah you know none of that let's have can just poke out. Yeah, you know, none of that.
Let's have a bit of respect here.
Decorum.
You know?
You know, let's just...
Come on.
Come on, people.
We're civilised.
But yeah, I've lost respect for her because Michael Gove.
People are saying that he's looking...
The man is a toad.
From bad to worse.
Yeah.
He looks like the sort of person
who would try to sell you
a condom filled with razor blades
and broken toothpicks
as a form of contraception.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He is a weasel.
Yeah, he's a weasel man.
If you see him in a film,
you know he's the one
who's going to fold
when it comes on.
Oh, first one.
First one.
Like, he's given an option.
Press the button,
everyone else dies, you live.
He's pressing that button.
He has taken Hacksaw Jim Duggars 2x4
and smashed it through that button, mate.
Bang.
Bang, they all die.
Yeah.
And he's crying.
Sniveller.
Theresa May, third choice.
Wow, what an island this is shaping up to be.
Okay, thank you very much, Vic.
Now, mercifully, among the wreckage of the plane,
there was some food and drink left over.
Unfortunately for you,
it's your least favourite food and drink
in the world.
What are they and why are they so bad?
Food is vegan food.
Vegan food, okay.
Vegan motherfuckers.
Yeah, right, right, right.
Yeah.
Go on.
You know what it is?
I'm all for letting everyone live.
Live and let live.
Do your thing yeah
I don't mind if you're
if you have your steak
medium rare
rare
you can just
take it out of the packet
and eat it with some crap
you know what I mean
right
I don't mind
but why have I got
this is what I'm saying
it's they've affected
my tasting of the food
nah okay
the actual vegans.
Yeah.
These guys are... They're an army.
They're an army.
If they decide that they want to all put balaclavas on
and smash up everyone else's food,
there's fuck all we can do about it.
Yeah.
Someone's got to stop them.
So what is it?
So you're seeing too much vegan at the minute.
They won't leave us alone. Right, okay. Leave me... And here's the other thing. Why is it when So you're seeing too much vegan at the minute. They won't leave us alone.
Right, okay.
Leave me.
And here's the other thing.
Why is it when someone's a vegan,
like let's say you're on Tinder
and you're looking through the profile,
works for Amstrad.
Okay, maybe this is Tinder in the 80s.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, sorry.
Right, she works for ITN.
Yeah, yeah.
Is that even still?
Yeah. Journalist. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right, she works for ITN. Yeah, yeah. Is that even still? Yeah.
Journalist.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Journalist, right?
Five foot six, brown eyes, vegan.
What?
It's a dietary requirement.
Yeah, right.
I don't write carne fucking vor.
It's true.
You're right.
It's a good point, yeah.
Eats meat. Right, yeah't have fucking vor. It's true. You're right. It's a good point. Yeah. Eats meat.
Right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, all right.
So it's more
just overrun
with veganism right now.
Too much.
Just live your lives, guys.
Yeah, right.
Let us live ours.
Yes.
I was flicking through
and I came on the one show
one time,
don't ask me why.
And there was a dude on there
with a fucking moustache, right?
Last seen on Freddie Mercury, right?
Talking about, oh yeah, you know,
lobbying parliament to stop people from eating animal products.
Why?
I thought this was a world of choice.
Pro-choice.
Them doing that kind of stuff,
what stops some maniac saying,
I don't like gay people,
let me lobby thing
to make hope to make anal sex or or same-sex interactions illegal again as once upon a time
it once was wasn't it let's let's revoke whatever article it was that that made people allowed to
be free to love who the fuck they want as it should be yeah yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't like people telling other people
what's good for them.
Yeah, right, right.
Everyone should be,
like free will was given to us
all by God or whatever alien is up there
who's controlling,
who created humanity.
Free will, right?
Apart from important stuff like climate change
because we all right now
currently need to live on this planet.
Yeah. So can we do something about that? That's a shout, you know what i mean that's a good message why aren't we lobbying why aren't people kicking up you know stones about that but he says
you've got some fucking dude with a mustache right he's got glam rock mustache going on
telling me about i can't have a fucking leg of lamb. Yeah. Yeah. As well, I think you made a real good point there
because it's like we're spending all this money
Brexiting the EU right now, right?
Imagine if we spend that money on climate change, right?
And stop caring where the fuck we get our apples from.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
Exactly.
What a big waste of money.
Yeah.
Mate, always, look, there's no money for police.
There's no money for firemen and firemen and emergency services there's no fucking money you never see bobbies on the beat
looking after people and stuff anymore or you don't see him kicking in the heads of black guys
when they're stopping search do we i guess we still do um right you know there's a
but as soon as they want money for donald trump's over, they're pulling money out of their anuses.
Money's coming out of people.
Someone's sneezing and money's flying out of his nose.
Oh, there's money for this.
Let me tell you something.
There's money, people.
There is money.
It's just whoever squeezing it from the many
and keeping it for the few.
And that's how
humans have always been
that is how power
works
humans do not work
there's no
hive mentality
looking for the great and good
it's just
everyone
that's the flip side of it
everyone for themselves
and ambition
leads to people
abusing power
when they get it
you start off with
the best of intentions
and once you've got it
you think ooh
maybe I will give my wife
that million pounds
to go spend in Paris.
And no one's taking a pay cut.
Do you know what I mean?
No, no, no.
No, no, no.
Once you're living that life,
they're not giving it back.
Well,
why would you?
Yeah, of course.
But then they say that people,
my people,
the Nigerians,
we're the corrupt ones, eh?
Okay.
Where did we learn it from?
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, there you go okay vegan food
vegan food because of the vegans um okay vegan food and what's going to be a drink choice
non-alcoholic beer yes non-alcoholic so why non-alcoholic beer why non-alcoholic beer that
is the question why non-alcoholic beer yeah yeah yeah drink something else yeah yeah yeah
non-alcoholic beer,
I like the taste.
I'm pissed off, man.
I'm totally with you.
Like, if you're, like,
go and get a Coca-Cola.
Yeah.
Do you know what I mean?
Get a glass of water,
hydrate yourself,
you fucking drunk bastard.
No.
Yeah.
Can you imagine that?
You're drinking,
you're pissed off out of a beer
and then they're like,
I'm not drinking no more.
You go and get non-alcoholic beer
and start drinking that.
No, thank you.
What kind of animal are you? What you know who came up with that what
what bastard what demon realm did he come from when alcoholic beer yes and somebody they found
money to make that though didn't they yeah they did you know i mean yeah how's that working out
for you what is the point in non-alcoholic beer i don't know i do not know it serves no purpose
yeah it's like men having nipples why yeah it's true why
if like what why why are we doing this yeah that's true i just i i don't i could just imagine
being stuck on an island with it and i'm like the fuck i'm telling you now as well non-alcoholic
beer does not taste like beer it tastes weird man have you tried it yeah it tastes weird basically
yeah it does taste weird no it's not worth doing i'm telling you the only reason i'd have it is to
to bottle somebody with while it's still full whoever's drinking it yeah yeah i mean done
all right non-alcoholic imagine being stuck on an island with like you're stuck on an island with
these people yes fucking vegan food yeah and you can't even have a decent beer I bottle myself
the cargo hold
falls open to the plane
and you're like
right salvation
you see all those bottles
and you think
I'm set
and then you pick up
the first one
0%
I bottle
I was going to say
someone's getting bottled
not just me
ok
non-alcoholic beer
it's going to be
your drink choice
thank you very much
Vic
now I feel like we're going to get your drink choice. Thank you very much, Vic.
Now, I feel like we're going to get onto your subject here.
Fortunately, you won't be without entertainment on the island.
The plane's entertainment system continues to work,
but just your luck, it only has two working settings.
One is your least favourite film of all time,
and the other is your least favourite song.
Now, I can tell you're someone that likes films.
I am. Right? Yes.
Okay.
A few of your analogies in there make me think you like
your films i do indeed i'm interested what's gonna be your film choice 50 shades of gray please
dive old firstly have you watched it uh a few moments here yeah yeah okay and then i started
hating myself yeah i just wanted to see because yeah i get it i it as a guy that likes films I can tell
you're like alright if I'm going to talk about this
I want to know and that's fine
I get that
it's for informative reasons
for research reasons the same reason I'm on
Pornhub most nights
purely for
research reasons
I like to make sure I know what I'm
getting into,
so to speak.
Am I doing this right?
Okay.
Yeah.
But Fifty Shades.
I'm stuck on an island.
Fifty Shades.
All of the hype around this,
the book,
the movie,
I thought it was going to be people getting their backs broken.
It was going to be like,
women were getting so
moistened in the thighs.
It's talking like Spartacus,
you know, they moistened at the thighs
at the thought of
Fifty Shades of Grey. But then you watch
it. All that was was pride and
prejudice, right? In this day and
age. They both like
each other. But he couldn't smash
her back then because those were the times
but now he can
and also it's an abuse
ain't he her fucking boss
where was all the hashtag me too chicks then
he's her boss
next thing you know he's got her fucking tied up
doing all sorts of blah blah
all these women who say that
they protest they don't like this stuff
if I was your boyfriend and I wanted to do the stuff this guy's doing All these women who say that they protest, they don't like this stuff.
If I was your boyfriend and I wanted to do the stuff this guy's doing
to his secretary or assistant,
you wouldn't want to do it.
No.
But here you are getting gassed up
by watching Hugh fucking Grant Jr.
Yeah.
Roll around with some other chick.
Yeah, it's true.
What's it about? i don't know the dude like the guy bangs his secretary that's it and he sold hundreds of millions of books
like is there a thing though like he's meant to like do some like there's like i don't know i
haven't seen it and i clearly don't know. But isn't there like some sexy mind games and shit?
Possibly.
I don't know.
The way it got about as sexy is she walked into a room
and found on the back of a cutout of a cardboard carton,
be my girlfriend.
Tick box, yes or no.
He didn't have no game. He was just rich. Right, yeah, yeah, yeah. He was rich. tick box yes or no but what so
okay
he didn't have no game
he was just rich
right yeah yeah
he was rich
he could have just given her
a fucking Ferrari
and she would have
dropped her knickers mate
that would have been it
let's go
let's do this
so it's like
if you want something sexy
right
this isn't where you should go
Pornhub
Pornhub
yeah
get into Pornhub
that's what we all want
isn't it otherwise why is everybody watching it That's what we all want, isn't it?
Otherwise, why is everybody watching it?
That's what my friend said about Love Island.
He was just like, do you love it?
I love Love Island.
My friend was like, no, but my friend was like,
look, Love Island, you have to go through listening to them talk the whole time.
If you want to see sexy people get it on just go
straight to porn hub do you know what i mean see right see it's like why watch them walking around
and talking but you love it it's it cracks me up because yeah i look i'm more entertained by yes
the psychology behind yeah yeah yeah all of these people who in their own worlds and social circles
yeah are quite clearly the apex predator in terms
of physical physicality physical attributes right they are the top all of them are the hot one in
their group of friends definitely yeah yeah and they're used to getting wherever town city they're
from they get all the chicks they get all the guys yeah the footballers the models they get
whoever yeah yeah right and what the reason i use these specific professions is because having someone, if you've got a better job based around education, that's not a big deal to them.
I saw one of the girls say to the doctor Alex last year, who was just, you could tell they were like a dishy doctor.
I'll be honest, spoiler alert, guys.
Doctors do not look like George Clooney in the real fucking world alex is about as good as it gets for a doctor yeah yeah
right to these people he's he's a middleman he's nobody no yeah he's not getting no love so one
girl turned to him and said there was a new girl coming in and she wanted to have a date with alex
and a girl gave him a pep talk and went yeah you know let her know
she said
let her know
that you work out
that you've got a bit
about you
none of that
doctor stuff
and I was like
wow
like that was a bad
thing to do
no one gives a shit
in there
that you've spent
seven years
in medical school
and that you can
string a coherent
sentence together
no
can you do
fucking 50 crunches?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
So all of these people then get pitted against each other
for the affections of other beautiful people.
And they cannot handle the rejection.
They're not used to it.
It really fucks their shit up.
Right?
That's what the beauty of it is.
That's where the entertainment
how people claw and fight and scrap and kick because they're not used to being told no i want
her instead of you i'm gonna look at it in a whole new perspective i think because you've been part
of the reality tv world you look at it slightly different well yeah i mean yeah okay yeah from
from a production point yeah i can definitely
see how stuff is not how you know it seems in to but also that as well and i suppose and the
side but i've always been quite a psychological person anyway but yeah but that has added
something to it definitely but then when you so with this right there are producers that are like
rehash that conversation again right and they've said that that's what happens, right? You know it's augmented reality.
But when you did it, that stuff didn't happen.
No, no, no, no.
People wanted to shank each other up.
Yeah.
If it was prison, I'd have had someone bringing drugs
in their bum hole, you know what I mean?
Delivered to me.
You know what I mean?
I'd have been like somebody smuggling cigarettes
and yeah, you know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
People would have been, yeah, what, you want this? Okay, you're going to have to sleep with, yo, go sleep with whoever or whatever. Yeah and yeah yeah yeah yeah people would have been yeah what you want
this okay you're gonna sleep with yo go sleep with whoever or whatever yeah yeah yeah you know
i mean i would have been that guy in there and it was just right yeah hustling yeah i mean no no what
i mean yeah i mean that was how bad it could get in there okay no without before anyone steps in
yeah yeah no there was i can't say for what's happened in the last few years and how it's switched towards Instagram people and stuff.
It seems clearly...
It's different now.
It's so different now.
Back then, you fuckers get on with it.
If someone dies, then walk it off.
Right, yeah, yeah.
That kind of shit.
We're not...
Whatever happens is none of our business.
But then they still stuck you in the most psychologically challenging environment
that they've ever fucking scripted.
The walls were at mad angles. The ceilings were lowered right there was no locks on doors it
was mirrors invasively everywhere yeah there was no clocks anywhere so you didn't know what time
of day it was yeah you know i mean you get waking up with really invasive fucking music
and alarms and all these things do you know i mean so okay and plus you didn't get to speak
to your
anybody from the outside world
for your duration
it's not like now
where
or on these other shows
we get a phone call
from mum and dad
oh we're still alive
you know
yeah
look here's your cat Reggie
send a letter
yeah yeah yeah
give me a break
yeah yeah
you know what I mean
so yeah Love Island
it's a
it is a cracker of a show
okay I will watch it
I will watch it this time
with a different perspective okay so your film choice is going to be 50 shades of gray yeah for the bullshit and what about song
for my song choice anything recorded by 80s 90s allegedly hip-hop slash rap band the beastie boys yes i saw this go on please
is it just me or were they crap
nobody nobody and this is the thing back in those days nobody wanted to buy a black hip-hop like
black people like actual like hip-hop i'm not saying it's a colour thing but the most predominantly like rappers
were black people
Run DMC
were the biggest
and they only blew
after they'd done a tune
with Aerosmith
and everyone was like
oh
we can listen to the Beast
to Run DMC now
because
they've done a tune
with Aerosmith
they must be alright
and then
right
but the Beastie Boys
were coming out
with absolute
I remember being because I was a proper little boy when MTV first started.
And they used to ram Beastie Boys, like tunes, down everyone's gullets.
Beastie Boys, was it Intergalactic?
I didn't know what that was about.
Right to party.
I just thought it was meant to be funny.
So I kind of didn't mind it.
But then I realised these guys were being serious. party i just thought it was meant to be funny so i kind of didn't mind it yeah yeah but then i
realized these guys were being serious like they're supposed to be some proper legends and
they're crap like it's weird when you see them now and you just think wow do you know i mean
they're there in like just looking like old dads but they're looking like the OGs of this shit like yeah hip hop legends
rap beast
they're crap
yeah
their tunes were crap
people only bought it
because there was
white guys
rapping
and it was this
bad thing rap
but we can buy
these guys music
but then
we're not gonna let
NWA do their thing
oh yeah
I mean
or Public Enemy
but Beastie Boys,
and obviously it was inoffensive,
but I just think their tunes,
I don't even mind it.
I don't care about anything
other than the fact
their tunes were crap.
And why did they make
so much fucking money?
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, like,
Fight For Your Right To Party
is not a good song.
No.
I mean, at the time,
fun, fair,
but actually,
put that in the spectrum of rap music
and that is on the lowest rung, man.
And it's made the most money, probably.
Yeah.
What the fuck?
If there had been a group of black guys doing that,
that tune would never have seen the light of day.
They'd have been like, we can't sell this crap.
Go and shoot someone and then write a record about it.
True.
You know what I mean?
But these guys
were crap
that's the record
that radio stations
are still playing
yeah
I mean I love Vanilla Ice
love Vanilla Ice
that was my guy
you know what I mean
he's
he's rapping
he's doing his
yeah
he's doing his thing
what the fuck
are these guys
like what is this
and it's number one
number one album
blah blah
they're on sellout tour
I'm like
didn't we have them over here
called Goldie Looking Chain
yeah
and no one
and they knew they were a joke
yeah yeah yeah
but how come they didn't make that
I just
I don't
I can't hear any
I can't have any of their tunes
and their tunes
are still getting played
yeah
fight for your rights
and you've got that
for the rest of your life
well exactly
on this island.
Thank you very much, Vic.
And finally,
the island is overrun
by the biggest dick
of all the animals.
Which animal is it and why?
I'd say cheetahs.
A cheetah?
Yeah.
Go on, why?
Because there's something
sexy about cheetahs.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
There's something sexy
about cheetahs, isn't there?
And I can't bang Theresa May
or my dad
or fucking the Night King.
Are you about to say this?
No, no.
But I'm just like, the mind would wander.
You know what I mean?
Look at that cheetah just running in slow motion.
Yeah, yeah.
Female cheetah just bouncing.
Yeah, she's got lipstick on for some reason.
I don't know why.
Big eyelashes.
Big eyelashes.
Do you remember the Thundercats?
Yeah.
Who was the one that you wanted?
Chitara
Yeah
See?
Yeah
They weren't lying
They thought the same thing
If I was going to get it on
Or be in a relationship with an animal
Who would it be?
A cheetah
Yeah, okay
But also, right
If it is a real cheetah
You're not going to last very long on that island
No
Yeah exactly
You're going to be dead
Yeah well
I can't win
I can't catch a fucking break
I can't catch a break
You've set up the worst world for yourself here man
I know
That was the brief innit
I know yeah
That was the word
This is mission
Get Tom Cruise in it
Yeah
I want to see
how it gets at the end of this fucking film yeah i mean this is yeah this is bad you've done so well
thank you so much vick so cheaters gonna be animal choice vick tell people about the rival show the
rival show aka the most professionally unprofessional podcast it started off as a whatsapp group
right okay that's cool friends throughout my whole life amazing right and the conversations
we have in there as you could imagine i am but one cog in there yeah some of the funniest
and most inappropriate banter you will ever hear between people who have known each other for their
whole lives right and we were
like we should write a script about some of this stuff or somebody was like maybe we should get the
transcripts and put them online and we were like people like no no no because some some of the
stuff that gets said in there is a little bit really you know i mean okay yeah i mean we got
jobs in it yeah yeah people don't find some of the banter funny so it was like okay and in the end
it was like why don't we do a podcast and it was one one of my friends
wanted to do
a meeting about
starting a sports podcast
okay
and then my co-host
on the rival show
Merv
right
he decided to
just be difficult
and say no
I'm gonna make a rival show
for this
right
and that's literally
how the show
why the show's called
Rival Show
okay
so it started off
as a sports show
so anybody who then
tunes in off the back of this blisteringly scintillating appearance from myself right
into the rival show do it people trust me do it yeah you won't be disappointed do not start from
the first one two whatever because it started with literally just sports it seems it was very
very very serious and then people were like yeah well what if we don't
like sports you know some people don't want to hear an hour and a half of us talking proper
analytical football breakdowns like if i was like if people want to hear this don't watch
fucking match of the day yeah and what see gary liniker and not not free not free over over the
old guys sitting in the living room talking about footy right no no yeah
and then we created a segment
called toilet of the week
okay
which where we find
either a person
or a group
or some situation
that's happened
throughout the week
where somebody has made
a right tit of themselves
yeah yeah
and we just absolutely
cane them
right
from research
we then found out that
Pete that was everyone's
favourite segment
right
so then we thought okay
so then we expanded that segment
and then we added in a news section.
Do you know what I mean?
There's other little segments as well.
Nice.
It's a proper,
it's just inappropriate banter,
topical discussion
and usually someone getting the arse ripped out.
And a lot of the time it's me.
Do you know what I mean?
There's lots of running jokes
at my expense on this show. Is there? There are. There's lots of running me do you know what I mean there's lots of running jokes at my expense
on this show
there are
there's lots of running jokes
you know what I mean
and if people don't know
I'm the heartbeat
of that motherfucker
you're ripping your own
heart out here
suicide
you know what I mean
but you know
obviously anyone at home
suffering from suicide
you know
so it's very serious
subjects
funny enough
the last Rival Show episode
we did last week
was actually quite
was probably the most
serious of all because we've had a couple of friends who have you know committed suicide so we spoke about that
and asking people to just you know if you're going through things just talk to someone you know before
it's too late and then after that we got on with ripping people's lives apart in the public eye
usually donald trump and um you know theresa may who i reckon she smells like strippers perfume
i never think about what she's might smell like i mean strippers perfume and asparagus for breath
that's perfect
hot asparagus well we made it an hour without that do you know what I mean we have yeah we got a bit phlegmy there
no it's good
thank god this ain't
being filmed
