So I was recently hospitalised.
No.
Yeah.
I love it when you sit on stuff like this.
Well, it's all this end of the hospital.
I love when you sit on this light bulb.
So DIY was it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's been sitting on this.
He really has.
We have a strange relationship.
And I have this with a few people now.
Yeah.
Where things all happen to me.
Yeah.
And I don't tell them because I think, well, I can tell them when I've got a microphone.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This is the sum of our friendship now.
We only talk to each other on mic.
Before this recording.
How are you, by the way?
Yeah.
No, no, don't ask that.
It's not how do you cope with John Robbins.
This is, this is.
Oh, he's taking his glasses on.
He's putting his glasses back on.
So, Tom, let's not forget, Tom.
This is still an audio medium.
If you're going to do an impersonation, you've got to do a good bit of business, though.
It's a lovely bit of business.
I didn't see it, sadly.
I'll give you a pair of glasses.
You can really do it.
As Pacino said to Chris O'Donnell, I didn't see it, son.
Tom's taking his glasses off.
He's nodding.
He's putting his glasses back on.
I love glasses.
I'd love glasses.
I'd love glasses.
Nature's prop.
Yeah.
You've got so much wheelery.
Naturally,
yeah.
Yeah,
yeah.
Like,
I want to,
I want them,
I don't need them.
Like,
you know,
but then you can't be going around
in clear-framed glasses.
What would your top glasses move be?
Because I think one way,
you stick your hand your ear and wiggle it
when someone says something suggestive.
Or when a busty lady walks into the room.
Okay.
Okay.
There's a good reason.
That's why I'm not allowed glasses.
I do need them.
I went with the opticians.
It was the first thing.
I did and they said we're going to have to take those off you, I'm a friend.
Oh, well, thank you, Matron.
What year is this, Tom?
Up here?
Yeah.
78.
Which is weird, so I wasn't born there.
You weren't around in 78.
Yeah.
You're an old soul.
A man born out of time, politically.
Morally.
Morally.
And in terms of...
And comedy.
And your general, but yeah, comedy as well, crucially.
Crucially.
Yeah, but like, that, that, take them off.
I like the take off and holding the bridge of your nose.
That's good.
Well, when I'm saying something.
Yeah, yeah, that's it.
You're wobbling your glasses.
I'm taking mine off and holding the bridge of my nose.
What about the, what about putting one arm to the mouth?
Just to, I'm really thinking.
I'm going to cue the end of my glasses.
That's how much I'm thinking.
Or I don't, people who wear glasses that I don't like it when they take them off.
you do look odd
don't you
you look
I feel like you're angry at me
every time I'll take you glass off
because I look a lot more stirred
make me to my glasses off
but the thing is that
if I was angry at you
I took my glass off
I had no idea where you were
you got a great chance to escape
you could stack a load of cushions up there
and I'd be ticking you off
like Mr Magoo
anyway
listen I was in hospital
oh yes of course
let's talk about it
so I woke up on Saturday
morning, 5 a.m.
Right.
It's an excruciating pain.
Oh, no.
Yeah, excruciating pain.
He looks so happy about this.
It's because I thought I've got to really tell on the podcast.
It didn't even matter.
Whatever the outcome.
Don't tell the boys, but I've got something going on.
Don't tell my emergency contacts.
Speaking of emergency contacts.
Was it return of the anal Charlie Horse?
No, it wasn't the return of the anal Charlie Horse.
Thank you for bringing that.
It's been a while.
Yeah.
It's been a while since we mentioned it.
Not asthma.
You used to have to sit on a tennis ball, do you remember?
I do.
Well, I was told to sit on a tennis ball.
I did, and it did absolutely nothing,
except to send me straight back to A&E.
It was like a space hopper for you, though, wasn't it?
You got around on it for a while.
Off to work on the tennis ball.
Absolutely.
Tennis ball and two match sticks, and off I go.
Ball bearing you.
You have to scale down.
Ball bearing for you.
That's right.
Honestly, though.
honestly, if I was feeling too relaxed,
that's the last you see that ball bearing.
Away he goes.
I would just,
I would walk into a room
and I'd be rattling like a pinball machine.
People would be wiggling their glasses.
Lethal if you farted.
Yeah.
I'd be like a gatling gun.
So wasn't the anal Charlie Horse.
Do you think there's,
because there was an act,
you know, a turn back in the day,
Mr. Methane, who would, you know,
who was able to fart on command.
78s.
the good old days of turns
he was able to fart on command
yes he could sort of
he could suck air up and fire it out again
okay that was how
and do a tune couldn't he could do a tune
he could fire a dart
he could suck up
he could suck up
so he could I wonder if he could
I wonder if you could drink a drink
like if he could get out an innocent
smoothie
not so innocent
not so innocent
but yeah
anyway there was him
do you think I
that could be my, you know,
the next stage of my
performing career could be
the human,
we come on stage.
The human gatling gang.
We put balloons in our mouths.
Yeah.
You go to the other end of the room.
Drop my kex.
And off we go.
Yeah.
I feel like Benadorm is the place.
I mean,
for us.
By the way, you would fit in very well.
Again,
politically,
morally and comedy.
My sunglasses have done a lot of work in Benadon.
You would be great in Benadorn.
I feel like if,
if we,
the three of us,
move to Benedorn,
with me,
with my ass
at five
bearings.
Matthew Tom and Benadour.
Matthew Tom and Benadour.
Here we go.
Matthew Tom and Benadour.
Tomarief.
Okay.
Hello?
We're back out.
Yes.
Matthew and Benadorn.
Yeah.
Croatia.
Croatia.
Croatia is the name of a place now.
Benadorn.
Tomarief.
And Croatia.
Croatia.
Matthew's in Croatia.
Why am I Croatia?
We're trying to have a good time, mate.
Yeah, I know.
You keep telling off the cushions.
Croatia.
It's Croatia.
Crosby's in Croatia.
It's going off the first three letters.
I mean, you've looked out.
I mean, Croatia's beautiful.
Yeah.
But I don't know if Dabrovnik needs a man with a Gatlin gun for an ass.
I don't think there are many places that do, but I think Dibrovnik is a one of them.
Listen.
Yes.
Anyway, I woke up in excruciating pain.
If we were having a word, we'd be doing specials.
where we'd be coming live from Beledom next week,
wouldn't we?
That's what we'd be doing.
If we had the funding behind us,
yeah,
that's it.
The YouTube special,
the boys hit Croatia B.
I'm really trying to make it work.
Yeah,
I know,
and it's not.
I think it's confusing.
It is,
yeah.
I think the thing,
the thing, the thing,
I've,
I've,
I've,
I've been watching a lot of,
like,
what makes good online content.
Oh, really?
Oh, wow.
Simplicity of idea.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, and that's always been our problem.
We've either got, it's either way too simple, or there's no idea.
Or bad of idea.
Yes, bad of idea has always been our problem, bad of idea.
But anyway, yes, so I'm going to Croatia with Dan and Adam.
They don't know about it yet, but I'm sure they'll be up for it.
Or is it like we all wake up in Benadorm, Tomarief and Croatia, bro, and we race back to the sofa?
It's very top gear.
It's very classic gear.
of Top Gear. It's very grand tour.
We're all in the shadow of Top Gear, I think, as content
creators. Do you think so?
Absolutely.
Why did you go to the hospital, Matthew?
Yeah, because I've got so many questions about we're all in the shadow of
top gear, but I don't think I want any answers.
Yeah. I'd love it.
I'd just like to ask the questions to just a stony wall of silence.
Crosby ended up in hospital because he was driving a mini metro
through Mount Everest.
Crucially, Tom's so in the shadow of it.
He's never seen it.
It's too intimidated to watch it.
Listen, we've all read, we're going on a bear hunt.
If you come across Mount Everest, you can't go through it.
Tom.
I think around or over are your two options.
Yeah, but that's what gives, you know, top gear clerks,
and it'll be like, well, I'm going through it.
It's not bad clerks, to be fair.
Thanks.
More the sort of redness of face than anything else.
Yeah, more the brain.
On the old 78 brain.
So, yes.
I woke up in excruciating pain.
Excruciating pain.
Excruciated pain.
Talking of redness.
One red foot.
What?
One red foot, yeah.
Go out.
Whoa.
That's my initial thought.
I thought, you can't be a go.
It's finally coming for me.
And what an absolute, what a, what a kicker.
Yeah, we heard it.
What a kicker.
Yeah.
We heard it, Tom.
Yep.
So what a...
Give him the full Tim on the office.
Are you all right, Tom?
Are you, are you okay?
You're having a breakdown?
Check his feet.
He's got two black feet.
I think you've got gout of the brain.
So, go on, go on.
But I would say, wouldn't it be bad if I get gout, having stopped.
drinking two years ago.
Yeah.
And then it finally, like it follows.
And no meat either.
Bad for the brand.
No meats.
Yeah, exactly.
Or maybe your foot is like the picture of Dorian Gray.
It's like,
why you're gesturing to me,
mate?
Like it's dealing with the sins of all of us kind of thing.
Why am I dealing with your sins?
My poor foot.
But yeah, so you think that like what,
like because of the way I lived up until the point
when I stopped drinking,
something had to give.
and in this case it was my little tone.
It's all gone down to your foot.
Yeah.
Well, anyway, it wasn't gout.
I didn't know it wasn't gout at the time though.
Where was it read up to?
Well, it was read up to about halfway up the foot.
Oh.
Okay, about halfway up.
And so I went to, I woke Charlie up and I said,
I'm going to go and drive myself to the urgent care.
Oh, how?
Right. Because I did, I did the old, you know, NHS 1-1-1.
I checked and they said, like, heart attack.
Seek.
They always say heart attack.
They always say you're in a heart attack of the foot.
Get yourself immediately to the urge to care.
Did you have to drive the hospital upside down like Mr. B working the pedals with your hands?
I don't think he drives upside down.
It's the kind of thing you would do though.
Some of you've seen anything.
Do you know what?
Top Gear was in the shadow of Mr. B.
Top Gear saw that and said, hold my beer.
Hold my beer.
I'm driving to Everest.
Hold my Hawkstone beer.
Is that what it's called?
I don't know.
That's not.
So anyway.
Right.
Did I drive upside down?
I asked your question, Tom.
Tom, no, I didn't drive upside down like Mr. Bean would do.
You've got a bad foot though.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
We've clarified that.
It wasn't so, but it wasn't so bad that I couldn't drive.
Okay.
It was okay.
It wasn't so bad you had to have it out the window all the way to the hospital to keep it cool.
What's the sensation, this pain thing?
Burning.
Burning.
Burning.
Burning.
And a tightness of skin as well.
Is it swollen?
It's swollen, yeah, it's red and it's swollen.
And so all of the definition in my foot, and you know I've been working out my feet.
All of the definition I've been working for.
My foot six-pack was invisible.
Oh, no.
So that was gone.
It was just a big, swollen, red foot.
A sign of a bite?
No sign of a bite.
No sign of a bite.
We're all working out.
Oh, is that what we're doing?
Is that what you're doing?
You're going to webmdee this.
We'll get to the diagnosis.
Did you go up against the radiator as he slept?
No, not up against a radiator.
And crucially is the summertime.
Had you slept with a tawny on?
No.
Again.
No.
Tom a gay more like.
I hadn't.
I hadn't been swimming and like, you know, the little thing you get with the key on it.
I hadn't had that.
Oh, yeah.
I didn't keep that around my ankle overnight or something like that.
No.
But a memory.
No.
They're too small for me, though, is at the pool?
Really?
Mm.
Is that what you're saying?
Where are you?
Yeah.
Yeah.
They're like, yeah, I can't get them around my wrist.
Is that true?
I don't know if they're like people are smaller in Exeter or in the South West.
Yeah, yeah, people are a kind of giant who's come down from the Midlands.
The Midlands giant, the Wolverhampton Giant.
I have to tie it in my, like, wrapped your waist.
You're indicating your waist there now.
Tom.
Don't want to see.
Like a rubber ring.
You're giving yourself a gastric band.
Tom, what are you doing to yourself?
I woke up with an agonising pain, the whole bottom.
at the top of my body
and I drowned
I have to tie it into my
trunks
with the top
with like the tying cord
and just have it there
so it doesn't go around your wrist
doesn't go around your wrist
doesn't go around my wrist
no
because it does
but it causes
some discomfort
red hand
have like a swimming
float
come out with a hand
like a swimming float
you know
those rafts that you could do
five kids using it
the rafts
they brought in half term
I'm like one of
walking around, get up on kids.
Please don't say that.
Do you,
have you spoken to any other sort of dads who might be like...
Were you saying dads of the full of figure?
I wasn't going to say anything.
There was a real euphemism with how you said dads there.
What you really meant was fat lads.
Have you spoken to any other men of your standing?
Full dads.
I did it, dads, you know.
That was loaded.
You can see the roller decks going, what phrase do I use?
I'm going to go with dads.
It worked as well.
Yeah.
Say no more.
I suggested what I meant to say.
Any other dad bodied men?
Oh yeah.
I like Dad bodied.
Yeah.
Dad bodied.
That's going to be the name of my next Edinburgh show.
Dad bodied.
Dad bod.
Nice.
Not bad, is it?
When are you doing the Edinburgh show?
2017?
I don't know.
I'm going to get really hench first.
so never
it's good title though isn't it
dad bodd
yeah
oh not enough
I don't know
it feels like
it feels like a thing
that was around
a little while ago
yeah
yeah
yeah
okay
of course
cut an edge
to be you top
what would it be now then
in the shadow
a top kid
what's like
replaced
dad bodod
swall
oh I see
you're looking for it
Is that what people say,
he's swall?
He's got, he's got, he's got, he's got, he's got, he's
swollen, so swall muscular though.
Yeah, so what's, like,
not just swollen. What's like dad bodied.
Not like my foot.
If I can't say my foot swole.
Call 999, my foot swall.
Charlie, call 999, me foot swall.
I don't know, what's the, what's the new?
Yeah, I don't think there is one.
Well, there we go, then it's dad bothered, isn't it?
Okay.
I think that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
If it hasn't been replaced
Isn't the new thing
It doesn't mean it's good though
Focus groups not going well at all
I just want you to tell me what I want to hear
Okay so
Focus Group over
Sorry Tom
It's a good
It's a good title
And I can't wait to see the show
None who hates focus groups

So, you pulled around the car.
You limped to the car?
I limped to the car.
I get into the car.
I drive the 15 minutes.
You've got automatic.
Is it left foot?
Unfortunately, it's the right foot.
It's the driving foot.
So did you have to drive after cross-legged?
No.
I can't picture it.
You can't picture it.
I tell you what, I was driving absolutely normally.
but I was driving
I was driving in a flip flop
Oh okay
Of course
I was driving in a slider
Did your kids see you in this in a state
But no because I it was 5am
So that no one was up
I had to wait Charlie up and I'm off
I'm driving to the
I'm driving to the urgent care
I got swall
I got swall guys
It's a good time to go to urgent care
Saturday morning at 5
It's all cleared out
There's no one you know
No one's around really
They've put on Cs
BBs, like they're expecting, like, the kids to be up first.
So I'm watching CBBs.
I'm sat there with my, with my foot.
I get my foot looked at.
Anyone else in there?
No one else in there.
I see a, I see a, I see a kid leaving with his dad.
The kid's probably 60 or 17.
He's on crutches.
So I'm guessing, I don't know, jumped out of a bunk bed or something.
You know, something like that.
He's not, there's not a drunken injury.
There's no one, you know, no one who's been in a fight.
There's none of the argy bargy you get.
If I've been there.
You had Bupa.
It did feel like that, yeah.
It was a good, I mean, it was a good service.
I was the only person there.
Yeah.
The first person seen, naturally, I was the only person there.
It would be weird if they were like,
anyone,
literally anyone else.
That looks fucking gross.
We'll wait for more people to show up,
and then you can be third or fourth in line.
One doctor went outside of broke his wrist
just to be seen before you.
Come on, they do as a solid.
Doctors are injuring themselves, yeah.
Shatting his face in a wheelie bin.
But yeah, so I, I, um,
I get seen by the nurse, about a half an hour later, I get seen by the doctor.
This is embarrassing.
It's athlete's foot.
What?
So I went to the doctors for athletes' foot.
He's right.
He's like, yeah, it's bad.
It's really bad athlete's foot.
You've got infection in your athlete's foot, but basically you've got athletes' foot.
Oh, dear.
Have some cream.
Have some penicillin.
Myocotta powder.
Oh, I don't know about myocotter powder.
What's that?
Sounds delicious.
Yeah.
That's what we used to have back in the day, I think, my cotter powder.
I've not had athletes foot in a long time.
Well, I've got it right now, man.
It does take you back, doesn't it, Athletes foot?
It's like, it's back where there with varucas.
Yeah, exactly.
But that's what it would be like.
You'd be like, oh, have you heard Matthews in hospital with a varuka?
Took yourself to A&A.
How weak is he?
He has to go to A&E at 5am.
Because he's got athletes foot.
Athletes.
A thing that, yeah, you're right.
You should be able to sprinkle some talc into your socks for a few days, and then it's gone.
Beauty.
I'm on day six of seven days of penicillin.
It's still there.
Oh, God.
Yeah.
And you're podcasting?
I'm podcasting on a bad foot.
And I drove here.
Maybe that's the thing.
Up so down.
Pressing the pedals.
I was wondering why your handstanded in the room.
I was getting loads of people beeping the horn and going, it's Mr. Bean.
Our hero.
Our comedy hero.
Isn't that how Michael Richards got the job of Kramer was doing a handstand?
Oh, I thought you meant to have an athlete's foot.
Is that where you get into the room like that,
kind of hopping on his good foot?
Wasn't that the story?
Was that he did a handstand,
and that's what,
swung it for him.
Have I made that up?
I don't know.
Doesn't sound real.
But you know what?
Print the lie, I say.
It's a good story.
That's why I think you've got to go
with the headlines, haven't you?
Well, I didn't do a handstand
into the doctor's office.
No.
But maybe I should have done.
The doctor did want to talk to me, though.
He said,
about how athletic you are.
He said, it's the end of my shift.
we can have a nice chat.
Did he know you?
No.
What?
He went,
it's the end of my shift.
We can have a nice chat now.
What'd you think about the rise of AI?
No.
We sat there for about 15, 20 minutes.
Did you say, is that athlete's infection?
It's rising all worth my foot, mate.
I think it's more serious than you're giving it credit for.
Give me some my cotter powder for the love of God.
Where's my hair cutter?
It was a blue tin with a white, a white top on it.
My cotter powder like a metal tin.
I don't remember this at all.
And presumably looked like talc, right?
Yeah.
But it was medicated talc.
Yeah, medicated talc.
Did you?
It takes me back.
Talc's, I mean, you know, it's all gone woke now, isn't it?
You're not like to talc, haven't they?
They've banned talc.
They've banned talc, yeah, yeah.
What's happened there?
Yeah, you can still get foot powder.
Sure, you can still get foot powder.
Oh, wow.
But you can't get talc in one.
Dangerous for the lungs.
Oh, shit.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We did all right by it, didn't we?
We turned out fine.
We're going to
two or three.
Dobs of Talc.
Look at us
sitting on our tennis balls
and going to hospital
with athletes' foot.
We're saying it absolutely fine.
The pictures of health.
Living in the shadow of talc
this is a documentary.
It's a good documentary, Tom.
I can't wait to see it on your YouTube channel.
No clue what talcs,
what's going on with talc,
what was it made of?
Dust.
But it's not just any old dust,
is it?
Well, this is the advert.
This is not just any.
This is not your grandma's dust.
This is good dust.
This is smelly dust.
Yeah.
It smells,
it smells nice because it's not like chalk powder either.
What does talc even stand for?
I don't think it's,
is it an acronym?
Talcum.
Talcum.
Talcum.
So it's made of talcum.
It's powdered to talcum, I guess, yeah.
But crucially, what's talcum?
Shh, no, I can ask.
Tom, what's talcum?
I don't know.
Go down the lens.
What's Talcom?
What's Talcum?
Yeah, but I, so you can't get that anymore anyway.
So you could have asked the doctor that when you were having his chat.
I know, but he wanted to talk about AI, mate.
He wanted to talk about AI.
He was very, very interested in...
Did he assume you worked in?
What do? He said, what do you do?
I said, I'm a writer and he said, oh, you know what the next question's going to be?
And I said, the usual question is anything I might have heard of.
Right.
And he said, no, no, no.
What do you think about the rise of AI?
So I think whatever the job would have been.
Yeah.
He would have had...
You know what the next question is going to be.
Which I'm interested in AI.
Yeah.
How was your day, darling?
And then the end...
Well, you know what the next question's going to be.
Fucking hell.
What do you think about the rise of AI?
He said,
so next time you come to the doctors,
which by the way is going to be tomorrow.
Because it hasn't cleared up.
He didn't realize.
He was going to be back quite so soon.
But he said, next time you come to the doctors,
there'll be...
A robot at the door.
That's what he said.
That's what he said.
He said, next time you come to the doctors, there'll be a choice between me and a robot.
What are you going to choose?
No.
And I was like, well, obviously, I'm not going to say the robot.
The insecure.
The insecure doctor.
No, it's a good doctor.
Well, I mean, hey, every, every occupation is insecure about AI, really.
You know, I mean, unless you're like a, I guess unless you're doing something manual that, you know, AI can't replace.
Like, podcasting.
Like podcasting.
Plumbing.
Plumbing or podcasting.
The two, the two great recession-proof jobs.
Good look.
dying this shit, you know what I mean?
Yeah.
Fucking right.
I think, you know, back in the days, like the early days of AI, that's what this sounds like.
Before they'd iron out all the kinks.
Keep talking about the shadow of top gear.
This can't be right.
This is very much the podcasting equivalent of those photos, so someone's got seven fingers, you know?
One big red foot.
Or a man stroking.
Can't be real.
He's got a big red foot.
Oh, no, no, that'd be real, bro.
But he also said to me, he also said to me, he said draw a line on where the red mark is.
Draw a line there to check it's not.
And if it grows, yeah.
I've done that a fair bit in the past.
Well, you start the morning by drawing all over your body, don't you?
Not on me, on my wife.
Oh, do you?
Yeah, she gets bitten a lot.
And if a bike gets infected.
So it's quite an exciting game, actually.
Like, you draw around it in Byro, and then we wait to see which direction it's going.
is the invasion spreading?
I feel like you're in a bit of a
Hollywood blockbuster.
Yeah.
I was thinking of,
do you remember?
The thing or some shit.
Do you not seen any media whatsoever?
It's like,
it's like,
it's like,
let's draw a pyro around that bite
and see if the alien's going to spread,
I guess.
Yeah,
that's right, yeah, yeah.
That's the summer blockbuster right there.
You've been bitten by an alien.
It's probably fine.
We'll just draw a buyer around
to be on the safe.
It's quite a.
slow movie. It's got real third act problems.
They're just watching a bi-ro line.
Actually, actually, actually. I was thinking of melancholia.
Do you remember that movie, Melancholia, which is about...
End of the world?
End of the world, yeah. And he's got that little thing where it goes, if the moon gets
bigger, it means it's travelling towards the...
He's travelling towards the Earth, and he keeps checking it.
They draw a biro around.
They draw a birole around the moon.
They get loads of all the barros in the world.
They tie them all together.
And there they are.
There's Kirsten Dunst's just trying to draw a barrow around the moon.
Woodwatch.
Good movie.
Where do you stand on this?
I wrote on my daughter's banana in Sharpie.
Oh yeah.
My wife put it in the bin.
What?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Five stars.
Obviously, you shouldn't stand on a banana skin.
A banana skin can stand a shop.
Like Mr. Bean.
A banana skin can stand a Sharpie, can't it?
I'd say so
Does she
Think that
It's gonna poison the banana
Possibly
When in the bin
Happy with Byrow
Draws a line at Sharpie
Ironically
She drew around the Sharpie with Byro
Draws a permanent line at Sharpie
What do you feel about drawing on your own skin?
I've always felt uncomfortable with it
From a child
Because of the shat
Like the specter of ink poisoning
Yeah
you're always told like
but ink poisoning
and if you have too much
who's them
as a machine gun Kelly
gone for like an almost all
an almost all black tattoo
and he did it too fast
and it's causing out and stuff
that basically what he's done
he made his skin yellow
which is like how can you tell
yeah you've covered all your skin up
what he's done
that's my bit that was my big fear
as a seven year old
yeah with like if you write too much on your
yeah
Could you do like a blackout tattoo with my body?
A pair of my sacks.
There's a lot of revision.
It was like the guy of memento, wasn't it?
Yeah, yeah.
Can't fucking find anywhere.
Why is Tom smuggled a mirror into his exams?
It's top-topless, I can't tell.
But that was always a fear.
No, I don't even think, I don't think you can get ink poisoning from writing on your skin.
I would say so.
I don't know.
Try telling them that's a machine gun.
I would say that's taken writing on your skin to an extreme level, isn't it?
And that's underneath your skin as well, famous.
The thing about that, the thing about that, he must have, someone must have said to him,
just by yourself a nice breathable jumper.
Yeah.
Why has he gone the whole long, long sleeve?
Long sleeve black t-shirt.
Long-sleeve black t-shirt.
Much cheaper.
And the second you're, gives you an option.
The second you're bored of it, yeah.
Switch it out with a nice, with a nice blue one or a yellow one.
or a yellow one or a pink one.
I mean, yeah, this is what people just say about any tattoo.
No, no, but he wanted to cover up his previous tattoos, didn't he?
Yeah.
It wasn't that he was like, I've got to get myself, I can't be bothered with getting dressed.
I guess it's, it wasn't like his, he's like, okay, right, well, you know, Steve Jobs famously had the same outfit every day.
But he was even having to think about which one of his black roll necks he was going to wear.
I'm going to have it tattooed on my body.
It would be a funny tattoo to have.
What's that?
Of a shirt and tie.
it was
like the
t-shirt
shirt and tie
with the pocket
and a name tag
and the buttons
a name tag
yeah
yeah
and the cuffs
I think you're like
like a manager
of a weather spruce
what
why are you wearing
a suit with a name tag
he's got to go
for realistic
expectations
I was thinking
about
um
Simon Pegg
and Sean of the dead
I think
oh okay
yeah
yeah yeah
yeah
that's just going to
But like, it's a good tattoo, right?
I think he made it too cool by making it Simon Peg and Sean of the Dead.
It should just be.
Oh, no, it should say Tom.
I wouldn't say, wouldn't say, Sean, and the Dead.
Wouldn't say Simon Pegg and Sean of the Dead.
That'd be weird.
Can I tell you, I think that's a better tattoo.
I'm going to get the tattoo that just says Simon Pegg and Shore of the Dead.
You're a big fan of that movie?
No, not especially.
It's good.
Not really.
Sure.
Hey, I like it.
Hey, I like it.
Just Simon Peg, big fun of...
No, not as best.
Oh, okay.
Hey, I think he's brilliant, but...
No, great DJ.
He's a fantastic DJ.
Not aware of his act of work.
I saw one of his,
I didn't like it.
I want to be the guy who like,
only thinks Damien Lewis is a musician.
One of our best saxophonist.
Keith of Sutherland,
it's like,
favourite musician Keith of Sutherland.
Well,
yeah, obviously,
and you enjoy his films.
Films?
He's done films.
Is he branching out?
What?
The musician, David DeCovny is on a TV series.
He's got a focus on his music, man.
He's got to focus on his music.
favourite genre of music at the moment is actors who are prunching out in their middle ages.
Oh boy.
It's great.
Yeah.
Well, I saw Dukovny.
Do you remember?
I saw Dachovny at the Lachute Festival.
Nobody else wanted to join me.
I loved it.
It was unbelievable.
That's the music festival we need to put on.
And the line-up is all actors in their mid-lages.
Yes.
Goldblum's headlining.
Goldblum's, yeah.
So, right, this is a...
a good list.
You've got Goldblum.
Yeah.
You've got...
Now, I know he's not a Hollywood actor,
but you've got to have Zander.
Yeah.
You've got to have Zander Armstrong, right?
You've got to have him playing his torch songs.
You've got to...
We've got...
We're going to...
Robson and Jerome back together.
Robes and Jerome back together.
Big reunion gig on Sunday afternoon.
Do you remember when...
Do you remember when Bradley Walsh
had the biggest British debut album of the year?
Because no one buys albums anymore.
Just Nannas.
Yeah.
I can't remember this.
So Brad is...
doing it.
Plus, you've also got, you've got the, you know, the Hollywood contingent.
You've got Dog Star.
Nobody wants Dog Star, but they're showing up.
Keanu Reeves is there.
Do you do 10 seconds to Mars?
Too good.
I'm afraid, can you believe it?
A festival where 10 seconds to Mars is too good.
30 seconds to Mars is too good.
10 seconds to Mars is the tribute band.
They perform all their songs very quickly.
Well, this is the thing.
It was 30 seconds to Mars and then they drew a by row around.
Before you know it.
Yeah, good stuff
It's a good festival
A hell of a festival
And I remember when I saw
I want to go
But a hell of a festival
Yeah, I love that it exists
Yeah
When I saw Dukovny
Performing
There was one song
And I was like
Oh, he's really warmed up
He's really like vocally
He's taking him a few
He's opening up
And then I saw
Because there was a lot of dry ice
On the stage
A lot of dry ice
And I saw through the dry ice
That he had stepped
away from the microphone and his much, much younger keyboardist was singing this one.
And the keyboard is, by the way, one of the best voice I've ever heard live.
Phenomenal.
And you think...
You say dry ice.
Joe, that was.
Cigarette smoking man.
Shadow of top gear.
Shadow a top gear.
Fucking out.
Come on now.
Cigarette smoking, man.
That's not bad.
It's good.
It's good, man.
It's really good.
You can't enjoy it, but you've got to appreciate it.
Yeah, that's true.
That's the slogan for our festival.
That's Keitha Sutherland
performing his country songs
You can't enjoy it
But you've got to
You're simply got to appreciate it man
Who do you think is the actor
That it's surprising
They don't have a musical
A musical
For me it's Stanley Tucci
Don't you feel like Tucci?
You feel like he'd be like a great cruder
Well you got to feel like you would
Wouldn't
But you imagine he does it at parties
Yes
And people like Stanley
You've got to put that out
And he's like no no
he's too cool to do the cooking stuff don't really
