Yeah, it sounds absolutely mint.
I think you're going to enjoy this chat too as well.
It goes a bit off tangent.
He's a maniac.
He's a full maniac.
It's class.
Full maniac.
Very, very funny.
Yeah, enjoy.
We had a fight about the jingle.
We couldn't settle on a jingle.
Jingle do.
So this is the Jinggo, Jingle.
We hope you like the Jinggo to Jinggo.
Babadoo, Babadoo, Babadoo, Babo.
Would you for 5 million pounds
Tax free?
Yeah, love questions like this.
Tax free, okay.
Live in this house, this room for a year.
For what, five million quid?
Where am I shitting?
Oh, you can order anything you want off Amazon.
Yeah, I would.
What, with the kids or without the kids?
No, on your own.
Yeah.
And do it with the tax.
She'd pay you five million to live in here for a year.
Are you joking?
You'd be just going, right, I'll get a TV
First day. Yeah, there's one there.
Is that TV? Yeah. Well, that's not big enough.
You get a big one there.
Mass of telly.
I would love that.
You'd be wondering stuff every day.
It'd eat into your five million, but it's five.
No, just a little bit.
Get a fan and that.
What an odd question.
Lush to have you here.
We're on. We're on.
We're probably caught your question there.
We'll probably caught your question.
Do you want to get your fan girl now at the way?
Well, obviously, we've met before.
We've done panels shows together.
But I'm very excellent.
Like, anyone who listens to this, know that you guys,
Like back in the day, Kaiser Chiefs,
we're talking my jam,
going out, Stotton in Clubs and Sudland.
I am 39.
We're 40 this summer.
Right.
So...
There's a chance I'll be 40 when this comes out.
I'm nearly 50 now.
Right.
That's scary, isn't it?
But we're talking you guys.
We're talking to the cribs.
Amazing.
Future heads.
Great.
Maximo Park.
Great.
I'm joking.
I know them all.
It's because you know them really well.
I know them all.
Like madness.
Like so there was a...
Madness.
No, no, no.
They were a little bit before.
Oh, he's quick.
Similar light towards.
He's also quick, because since being a rock star,
he's also done shitloads of telly and he's really fucking quick.
There was a club in Sunland called Q Club.
Q Club, yeah, I know it.
Yeah, and.
Is that still?
When, I don't think so.
Don't look for it.
But when, when I predict the riot used to come on,
there was an area of Sunland called Ryeb.
Oh, rough crusty.
It's good, isn't it?
I think you can understand my head of it.
It's funny what I predictor riot
because we play it and we've been playing it for 20 years
and now it's quite heavy.
Yeah.
But when I hear it on the radio, I go, it's really tame.
Do you think?
I think that about a lot of things.
Like I can remember when I fought,
Nevermind and thinking it was the heaviest thing I've heard.
And I'm like going to quite poppy in it.
Weird.
I used to sing, we used to finish our set in the club bands
with I predict the riot.
Did you?
Yeah.
You were in a club band?
I was in a club band, yeah.
You ever done in your musical theatre?
Yes.
Have you?
Yes.
Love it.
Oh, mate.
Do you?
all about it. This is this, by the way, the reason you're here talking to us.
Oh, right, yeah. That was, did I segue then? That was lovely segue, well done.
On the TV. You used to be cool, man. You used to be one of the, used to be against the system.
No, I was cool for about 15 minutes in 2005.
Longer than that.
No, if it was, honestly, if you're cool this week, you're not cool next week. Okay.
But what happened was, we managed to kind of like, we were cool and then we got quite big,
which meant we weren't cool
but then we were going
it's actually pretty cool
being big in it
oh god yeah
yeah
did you find
it's cool playing pubs and stuff
but it's not as fun
it's being massive
well of course
but did you find that
all of the bands
that you started with
started to resent you
because like just you
was the band
because you got bigger
or were they all
not at all
okay good
oh the other bands
yeah
yeah yeah
I thought you meant
within that band
no no no
I mean the other bands
like oh
they've took the money
they've done it
yeah
well no
It's not so much taking the money, although there is money.
Yeah.
Not as much as you'd think, if I'd have been big in the 80s, I wouldn't be talking to you.
No, you'd be on a yacht.
I'd be on a yacht.
Well, I was just not saying what you need to do is, right, because all of our, we work together,
so all of our money goes to the same household.
Right.
You need to marry all of your band members, some kind of big.
Just get together.
Just be some kind of, it still wouldn't be that much.
I mean, it'd be later, it's got, we've done all right.
Yeah, yeah.
But the thing I was going to say about money is, it was quite good because the more
successful we got.
I thought of it as proof we were doing, like, writing the best, writing the good stuff.
Right.
Not like we would, like, sold out.
More like we'd bought in.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Dude, I've always wanted to be mainstream since I first started stand-up.
I can tell.
These are Ralph Lauren.
These are Ralph Lauren.
You're the short.
You know the shortest slag off.
You can get a lot of Ralph running TK.
Max.
You can.
Oh, my God.
You can.
I got the better pay of trainers for 16 quid.
I am.
I was sorry, TK.
Max.
waiting for an Auburn
like I'm waiting for me
methadorn.
I'm not a bad word
against TK Max.
There's not a TK Max
in a town that I've gigged
I haven't been to.
It's literally what I do.
Right, I get up in the morning
before everyone else
I'm up because I go for a run
every day.
Oh nice.
I run to a TK. Max.
Go on fuck off man, no.
And sometimes I'll buy something
if you're there.
Or, you know when you hide it.
You know, in the extra smalls.
Get that, put it in the extra smalls.
Come back late for that.
And it's a little bit like I do a recon.
Because you get your good TK.
K-K Maxes and you get your rubbish chicken maxes.
So I do a recon for the rest of the band.
Right.
Go Blue, we got a good one.
We got a good one.
Oh my God.
Like, what do you get when you go though?
Stop dicking around within that home section.
Yeah, a home sense for that.
Do you like the pastas and stuff?
Do you ever buy them?
The pastas.
Oh, as you're leaving.
Yeah, they're like just, like just, whacky shit.
No, I don't buy it.
Big, big fresh tagletellies on that.
No.
I was going to look at the bags, but I never get one.
No.
nice though. I get all the kids' Christmas
like smellies in that way. My mum and dad
since TK Max opened in Harrogate
I've got some wacky stuff. Yeah.
I love Harrogate. It is great.
They live Harrogate.
Oh yes. Do you like Harrogate?
Harrogate's lovely. We love Harrogate.
It's not far from us. You're from there
originally, aren't you? Around there. I'm from
Ilkley.
Oh, right. Okay.
Yeah. Is that west your
York Cherry? Yeah. Browardway.
Oh yeah. Okay, I do. I do.
Running. Do you like running?
Yes.
How far do you run?
12 a day.
12 miles a day?
12 miles a day.
12.
12 kilometers a day.
What's that in miles?
I don't know.
Why 12?
Why'd be 12 for?
It's more than 10.
Sounds more impressive, doesn't it?
It's only two more.
It's only like 10 minutes more and it just sounds much better.
10 minutes more too.
What's 12 kilometers in miles?
Is that about 7 miles?
We could sit and work it out all day.
Shall we?
This is it.
This is all we're doing.
That's really good though.
I've done countdown.
I've done countdown.
I've never done it.
Cat's countdown.
No.
Real countdown.
Real countdown.
You did real countdown.
You did real countdown.
Yeah, and I did well.
Really?
Yeah.
And I've surprised my son, not the maths.
Right.
Words, though, I was good at that.
Oh, so yeah, I was bad.
I did Kat's countdown and I got a two.
Two?
As, yes.
You just said as?
As.
All right, I didn't know.
My exact line was, so, I was so panicked.
I think, so I want to go back on because I think I'll be better now.
I do wordle every day, right?
Yeah.
But I got a two.
And I remember, I was so upset and embarrassed I got a two.
and I was sitting next to John Richardson
and I knew I was letting him down
and I said,
meaning I don't know if this is acceptable as a word
because it's only two letters
but I said I've got a wobbly two
and yeah and everyone lost it
and I didn't even know what the laugh for because I was so upset
and to the point of way someone heckled it
at a gig later said yeah wobbly too
and I went what
and the guy in the crowd had to explain
was that it sounded like testicles
and I didn't know, I didn't know to say.
That's a level of comedy.
That's the level of comedy.
Did you enjoy doing it?
They're not as a bigger thing anymore, right?
So I did Mott the week again the other week
for the first time in literally 12 years.
No, it's horrible.
I hated every second of it.
Because I'm spoiled now.
Right.
We do our podcast.
I get to do, we get to talk, see all our own things.
Yeah.
We get in your turn to talk.
Yeah.
Waiting your shopping tries.
Whatever.
Right. But I know I've done a few and I hated them.
Yeah.
I won't name any names, right?
Yeah.
No, do, please.
On I guess, I guess, I guess.
On I ate 10 cats.
Yeah.
I was sat there and it was Christmas special.
Before and you're all sitting in a room.
You talk about stuff.
They give you some questions.
Sorry if I'm giving it away.
No, you do.
They talk about like, you know, what might come up.
And I told a story.
Yeah.
Right?
About, I'd tell the story.
It's boring.
But I told the story.
Yeah.
And then they asked the question and one other person told my story.
Go off. No.
And then winked at me.
Oh.
Everyone laughing.
Ha, what a great story that was.
No, fucking way.
That happened to me.
Did it?
When?
What happened to me?
When?
When I said something, then the other person said it a little bit later and louder than me and it got the laugh.
And I went, I've just said that.
I have a couple of times.
It's a panel show thing.
So, yeah.
It's vital.
It's absolutely gross.
Once I was on one and they said something.
about Game of Thrones.
And I just said,
I thought they said Aiman Holmes, right?
Yeah.
And then they went,
then they went,
I thought you said Aeman Holmes?
No, fuck off, no.
This is like that Key and Peel sketch.
This is wild.
Hey, I've just discovered Key and Peel.
Oh, really?
Because obviously, when you're looking at stuff on your phone,
you hover on something a bit much
and it shows you more of it.
Yeah, yeah, I've been hovering on Key and Pete.
Oh, hilarious.
People building Lego.
Yeah.
Very lightly.
I'm like, there's lots of it.
But yeah, they're brilliant, aren't they?
Oh, so funny.
Why isn't it the biggest thing in the world?
It was.
Oh, was it?
Yeah.
That's why they're both megastars now.
That's why one of them's directies or movies and the other ones, the voice of Toad and Mario.
Oh, right.
Maybe I was busy.
The bastard.
When I was busy, I mean, I'm still busy.
But when I was really busy in like mid-2000s, I missed everything.
Yeah.
I know exactly.
Didn't see Gavin and Stacey.
Me?
I didn't.
I had to see it after the fact.
Yeah, yeah.
Everyone's talking about it.
A couple of Christmases are going, I don't know.
Yeah.
What?
It's all right.
There's loads of movies, isn't there?
There's loads of movies that I haven't seen that you see it.
From a period of time.
Before that, you've seen The Rock.
You know, I mean, you've seen all that.
I've seen Conner.
Yeah.
But then there's a whole period where I'm like, no.
You're trying to say you were more busier than me?
No, I was trying to say it was more.
Yeah, yeah, I was more busy.
But then that happens again.
That happens again when you've got kids, doesn't it?
Because then you miss loads of stuff.
Because you probably get them to bed and it's nine o'clock.
You probably watch an hour or something.
Oh.
Or there you go, should we do one more?
you're going, you're looking at it.
Shall we risk one more?
Oh, we do that all the time.
We started a thing now,
because if we go to bed later than 10 o'clock,
by the time I've washed my face or my teeth,
put all my creams on and all that.
It's literally a cheesageage.
Griffin ones for different body parts.
Yeah, well, basically, yeah.
It's likes of restoring some kind of bit of furniture.
It's a teak table.
You know what you say,
you know when you say people online, again,
making chopping boards out of wood.
And you go, it's done.
You go, it's done now, he's done it.
And he gets it and then he puts another layer of oil on.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then he's done again, then he sends it.
That's her face every night before.
I've got really into watching her making hats.
There's a guy that makes hats.
And I'm really into it.
I've watched him make a load of hats.
Anyway, yes.
You go to bed, you go to bed, blah, blah, blah.
Because now we have to clock in the fact that that takes so long
and I like to read a little bit before I go to bed.
Okay.
And then I don't like to go to bed after 11.
So where sometimes now, half nine I'm going...
Is that lights out?
Lights out?
Yeah.
Right.
Do you have a TV in your bedroom?
Yeah.
Right.
Good.
But we've got a terrible sleeping system at the minute.
Oh, all of the house.
Our eldest is in with me.
Youngest?
And he's, youngest, sorry.
Eldest is on his own and he's upstairs.
And I'm in the loft.
Too late.
It's too late.
To see, I quite like it.
I love it.
I've got cold at the moment.
I quite like it when I've got a bit of cough.
Because I just get sent to my room.
Right.
And I have a little room.
It's got a little kind of like,
day bed in it, but I sleep so well.
Surrounded by all me
things. So why wouldn't you want to do that
every night? Like, it blows my mind. Why wouldn't you
want to sleep well every night? So we shared a bed last
night in the hotel and he woke me up at half five
snoring. And I was really mad.
Because you never snow. Dude, and she doesn't know.
I might, but Rafe never says anything.
The fear, the fear when I get that nudge, you go, Chris, you're
snoring, what I do? I go, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I love you
so much.
She's in a bedroom with your partners.
I think it's overrated.
It's overrated.
It's ridiculous.
I think it's not traditionally what people did.
No?
I'm guessing.
I don't think we should.
I would have just gone into that.
Like if I was on this morning,
I would have backed myself up on that.
But I don't know.
I have no idea.
Giles would have been there, wouldn't he?
That's so absolutely.
Babadoo, babadoo, babadoo, babadoo, babadoo, babadoo, babadoo, babadoo, babadoo, babadoo, ba.
So speaking about films no one's ever seen.
You've never seen Greece.
Never seen Greece.
Have you never seen Greece?
I've seen a bit of it.
Have you got a sister?
Hey?
No, no, no, no.
Only child.
I've seen the first bit up until that.
New Child, really.
You know.
I've opened up until the bit where that bloke ruins the song.
You know the guy, you know where, where's it, love her first sight.
Oh, no, whoa, la, la, yeah.
Tell me more, tell me more.
Did she put up a fight?
Whoa, mate.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Did you what?
Yeah, that is bad.
Did you put up a fight, mate?
It's not as bad as...
I don't think we want to be friends with you anymore.
It's not as bad as Greece too, though.
There's a worse bit in that.
Is there really?
A guy tricks a girl into sleeping with her in a nuclear bunker
by saying it's the end of the world
and they have to...
I don't think you're not...
Do you want to sing the song for you?
Do you want me to...
That means I'm going to sing the song for you.
So he's telling now that there's a war and they're all going to die
and he's saying, let's do it for our country.
The red white and the blue.
It's not a lot to ask.
for our parents will approve
I'll be a mighty soldier
and I'll win this war for you
let's do it for our country
we owe it to our country
let's do it for our country
our country wants us to
and then they do
they do it
she's up for her though
she thinks she's going to die she doesn't want to die virgin
what does she do when she finds out
that the world's not over
You.
Notty, naughty.
Why are you?
No, actually, I think they're interrupted.
I think the boys all fall out of a cupboard.
And they're interrupted and she's putting a bandage on him and then she runs off.
She goes, oh, Nicky!
Anyway, Greece won, which I believe is far superior.
I would have, I would believe so, yes.
Yeah, you like Greece too.
I just love Greece too.
Who's that guy on the motor cycle?
What, what they say?
if they knew it was Michael.
Yes.
What would they say?
If they knew it was Michael.
There you go.
So I'm in Greece 1.
Yes.
Which at the time was just known as Greece.
Yes.
That would be funny if they released it and called it Greece 1.
That would be, I think a movie should come out.
I didn't know that Star Wars were named with episodes afterwards.
I thought how fucking freaked out most people have been when the first Star Wars came out when it was called a New Hope episode 4.
I think it was.
I think it was.
Really?
Google it.
Google it.
Jamie.
As if there's a group of people.
It was.
He's not called Jamie.
I'm just taking the piss out of the Joel Gogan podcast.
Really?
When it first came out,
it was called episode four,
A New Hope.
Piss off.
I won't have it.
So they knew it was going to be your success?
I won't have it.
No,
I won't have it.
But then again,
George Lucas is very clever.
First person in history,
I think I've talked to this before.
Wanted with the,
sat with the studio and said,
there was like shaft in them
and you went, yeah,
you're eating shafters.
I want all of the rights for the merchandise
and they went,
well, okay.
No one had ever
sought merch for a film before.
You love, Chris loves Sparks like that.
Do you know that he was pals with Spielberg, of course,
and they were both worried that their films wouldn't be a success
and thought the other person's film, I think it must have been Jaws,
was going to be more of the success.
So they gave each other two and a half percent of each movie.
I didn't know that, but that's...
So Spilbert gets two and a half percent of Star Wars.
What?
That's really cool.
And Lucas gets two and a half percent of Jaws.
That's pretty well...
Which is a massive movie.
Not as bitch.
the money.
I would talk about a longevity tune of 10%.
Yeah.
No.
Even since he sold it to Disney?
Yeah.
It's good, isn't it?
Okay, that's really cool.
Wow.
I see, that's there.
You love show.
George was the first ever summer blockbuster.
What's it?
No movie, no movie had it ever come out in summer.
I think it's in my top three.
George's, yeah.
I went to watch it with our eldest last year, actually, and he was 10, just turned 10.
And the opening kind of song came on and had to turn it off.
Did you?
He was shitting his pants.
Well, there you go.
We didn't even get to the face in the water.
Facing the hall.
Facing the port hall is terrifying.
Nothing had happened.
It was just so...
Nothing had happened.
Nothing.
It was the eerie music and he was really scared and I just thought,
Nat, he's not ready for it.
Did he know it's about a shark?
Yeah.
He knows what it's about.
It was just, he was shit in his pants, so I thought, nah.
No.
And I didn't want another kid to me there.
The idea of a scary movie scares him.
Can you remember the other night?
The other night he came at the living room and he went,
Dad, what's weapons?
I went, I went, what's weapons?
I went, what do you mean?
He went, it's like, a picture of it popped up on Amazon Prime
and it looks really creepy.
It's like kids running with their arms out.
No, I'd watched it recently.
I have to watch horror films on a train
because I get too into the train.
Oh, actually on a plane.
Do you?
My man.
I just feel like there's...
Oh, yeah, I was watching...
Every now and then, some ask if you want to drink,
so I get...
I love it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll love it.
My mate's in it?
Kate, she plays...
I forgot the name.
The main girl.
Oh, really?
Oh, yes.
Loved her.
Fantastic.
She's amazing, isn't she?
Yes.
Anyway, so I was watching that.
One who has the antlers on her head.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Fantastic.
Absolutely fantastic.
Yeah.
She's British, you know.
Is she British?
Fantastic.
I was watching that on the train.
Yeah.
And I knew, you know, and you know there's a jump scale.
Yeah.
Which makes it even more of a jump scale for some reason.
Weirdly, yeah.
It's the anticipation.
I was like,
Oh, God.
You got, Rosie?
A whole carriage.
Whole carriage.
The whole of first class.
Oh, yeah.
Spill her champagne.
God, he's changed, Annie.
Oh, God, honestly, what I sell up.
I haven't changed.
I've just moved into what I always should have been.
There it is.
So our son comes in the other day and he was, what is?
I've seen, I've seen the picture.
And he walked out and I went, no, you don't need to watch it?
It's a horror film, you can't watch out?
And you know, no.
And he went, he's watched the fucking trailer, ain't he?
Yeah.
I went, he's watched the trailer, ain't he?
You've watched the trailer, aren't you?
He went, no.
I went, don't lie to us.
He went, I've just checked Amazon Prime.
And I went on last watched, which you can't do.
And it's the trailer for weapons.
I'm sorry I didn't watch the whole thing.
I love horror films.
My wife doesn't like himself.
I love them, but I'm frank.
I've talked about this other podcast loads of times.
I'm intrigued by them so much.
I will watch the trailers and stuff,
but I can't watch the full things.
I'll love to tell you this.
You obviously, people who've listened will know this.
You don't know this.
When the first...
How do you know how to listen?
I just got a funny feeling.
Why do you think I bought the same rug?
I have this rug.
Do you?
Laridoo.
Is it?
I think it's Laradoo.
Lara don't.
Listen.
TK Max.
I don't think it is.
Is it not?
I think it's actually
from the Conrad shop.
Jack, where's it from?
What's the Conradu?
Okay, my wife.
I don't want to be rude, but I know me rugs.
Sir.
You brought a knife to a gunfight there, bro.
Did you know what?
Did you just try and manspeeing rugs to my wife?
That phrase is funny because it really reminds me of this one thing.
I was once in a fight with Johnny Rotten.
What?
I won't go into it.
it.
Sorry, with him or against him?
Against him.
Shut up.
It was his crew versus foals, block party,
a couple of super thorough animals and a couple of Kaiser chiefs.
And he had this big crew with him.
I won't tell what it was about it.
It was dark.
But it was done his big fight.
And in the middle of it, I had an umbrella.
Because I had a broken leg, right?
And I was using it as a stick, right?
And it was just him in my face like that.
And he went, don't bring a brolly to a knife fight.
And then, and I was like, I was like, this is the best thing that's ever happened to me.
I'm going to fight with a pistol.
It was just like, it was like a lot of pushing, shoving and a few bits of hitting.
And then we all ended up in like one of Foll's room in a home, the hotel.
And like, I misjudged the situation.
Because I came in like, that was amazing.
I was like, it was really bad.
Well, yeah, well, yeah, Black Party and Falls are posh boys.
No, not pot.
I think they're just a bit more serious.
Not posh.
They're a bit.
Fals are a bit.
A bit.
A little bit.
I don't know.
I think.
I find all the falls.
I did, I'm joking.
I did the,
yeah.
Nihal's show I met the,
when Nihal used to do the review show.
Oh, yeah.
I met the main guy from Fawz.
Janice.
Janice from Fores, that's it.
Yeah.
Anyway, that was my, that's my,
I got to fight with a pistol.
Fights, that's so,
have you ever had any friends?
Have you ever had any friends?
Bring a broly to a knife.
Comedians have had any fights on the circuit?
No, no, no really.
I suppose you're just all stubbing in the back.
Well, they're the little wingery on the panel show.
You need to tell us who that was.
I'm so interested in that.
Wouldn't block it out?
What year was it?
It wasn't zippy.
I probably said I'm in Homes.
I'm not telling you.
I'll tell you afterwards.
I hate it when they do that on anything.
Radio, podcast, anything.
We'll talk afterwards.
I know. We're cool.
We're in the VIP section.
We'll talk about this afterwards.
Yeah, I hear that.
Yeah.
But we're going to do it.
I mean, I kind of love it because I listen to two rival podcasts and they always
like each other off.
Do they?
It's real housewives.
Do you have any rivals, do you have any like proper beef with other podcasts?
No.
Don't do it.
I suppose they can't really steal your USP, can they?
Oh, they try.
I mean, people.
In the lockdown, everyone who had a bloody girlfriend, wife, sister,
being a boyfriend started a relationship podcast.
Anyone who had had to live with.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I suppose that's true, isn't it?
I thought there'd be a lot more kind of like brother-sister bands emerging right now.
Right, okay.
Because of lockdown.
I think maybe they're just all got, didn't get on well enough.
Because of the white stripes.
No, because the white stripes.
Lawrence.
Because of the carpenters.
Yeah, I should talk about Greece because I feel like I have talked about Greece.
You are playing Teen Angel.
I am, yeah.
That's an easy part.
Oh my God.
I was just going to say that.
It's even an easy song to sing.
Yeah.
I'm going to enjoy the day.
You're going to have such a nice time.
I've been asked to do musical theatre in the past.
Uh-huh.
And I will be honest with you.
I've been tempted.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
And I know it seems weird.
Yeah.
But when you've got a job that you, I do love my job.
Yeah.
But people offer you other things.
Mm-hmm.
And you say yes to things.
You think, I'll never do that.
Also nowadays, maybe like 10, 15 years ago,
it wouldn't have been acceptable.
But now, I don't care.
Yeah.
What do you're not.
I was a box store.
Like, is it cool or not?
Yeah.
I'm nearly 50.
You're at a different stage of life now.
So I'm doing it.
But I couldn't do any of the big ones
they've offered me in the West End.
They want a lot of commitment.
Yeah.
It's not a side hustle.
I know.
I've been asked to audition for stuff.
They'd want you there all the time.
I know, but it's so hard because when I was like,
between the years of like 18 and 21,
before I just gave up the dream and went into club bands and all that,
which is great, loved it, made money.
I did all of the auditioning for the West End
and all of that and I didn't get anywhere.
So now when I get asked to audition for stuff,
I'm like, oh my God.
You're selling yourself shorty.
Can you tell them what you got to the final call for?
Please.
Tell them what you got to the final call for?
I got the final ten.
Final ten. Four.
Four.
It was Lord of the Rings of Musical.
Lord of the Rings of Musical.
Yep.
And it was for a Hobbit.
Final 10?
Final 10.
A hobbit.
One of the four.
One of the four.
No,
it was just one of the,
wasn't a main part.
It was just one of the.
I reckon it would be in that,
you know that wench one
that Samwise Gamja gets with at the end?
Yeah.
The slightly fit blonde.
You're laughing.
I was gutted.
Lord of the Rings the Musical.
Yeah.
I don't think it's still going.
Is it still going?
It's not still going.
Some lovely songs out of it.
Right.
But it's very forky.
Very, very nice.
But yeah, at the time,
I was gutted.
Right.
Couldn't even go.
You get some weird.
You get some weird.
musicals, don't you?
Oh, yeah.
Was it a load of the rings?
With the songs of Lenny Kravitz.
You know what I mean?
You get some weird things.
You go, really?
That's going to wait.
And then the oddest ones take off.
But some of them take off.
Yeah, crazy.
What's your favourite musical?
My favourite musical?
Don't say Greece.
Just because you're doing it.
Don't be disgusting.
God's sake.
I don't really go and see him.
I don't really go and see much because I get jealous.
That's interesting.
You're a bit like that.
You're a bit like that.
I feel like you're not.
I couldn't watch.
Taskmaster until I got invited on it.
Really?
I did see this.
We'd never seen it.
And then I went back and watched the rest of them.
I'd never watched it.
You're a fan of the show?
I'm not fucking watching it.
I can't. I find it really hard.
I'm just like I'm watching Coldplay going
yeah, I get it but I don't do that.
I know where you're coming from.
I find it really hard to enjoy ourselves.
Beautiful. Carol King one was good.
I've never seen that.
But that's just Carol King's.
That's Carol King's.
Yeah.
That was really good.
I think honestly mine,
I have to,
so old.
Lame is.
Lame is, just lame is, just like,
I mean, I'm missing out.
Oh, Mulan Rouge.
Have you seen that?
I haven't.
No, actually, I haven't seen it at the theatre.
Is it really good?
It's very, very good.
It's just been to Sundland Empire, actually.
Have you?
Oh, right, okay.
Mainly due to my wife.
We're lucky, quite a lot of them get to Sunland Empire.
Yeah, we get some really good shows.
Yeah, Hamilton's coming there.
Hamilton's coming there.
I'm going to say a play on Friday.
A play?
1536.
It's called.
Yeah, time to start.
Well done.
And it's about, well, the person I'm going
with, message going, oh, my friend said it's really good.
And I was like, yeah.
1536.
Uh-huh.
Have you seen the Sting one?
Why?
Sorry, two seconds, Rosie.
Why are you assuming that we've seen the Sting one?
I haven't, but my friend nearly got a part in it, actually.
Did really?
I went to see it a few years ago, actually.
That was how, years ago, yeah.
Yeah, but it's back in the Broadway.
Is it?
I would see it.
And I sat next to in the preview, what's the name, Denise Wells.
Did you mean?
We know Denise.
Fantastic.
We know Denise.
She talked a lot.
Oh, did she? Oh, she's really sweet.
And I'm not going to comment on whether I enjoyed it or not.

I met Bhabadoo Babadoo Babadu Bhabo Bha
I met Sting and I thought I'll make him laugh
I've tried this for the few celebrities singers
where you think to yourself I'll try and make them laugh
Right
And then you don't
Oh no what did you say?
I mean it was a bowl
Right
I went nice to meet by the
Hey Sting
At the end of the show
Have you ever said you've ever said
you've been stunk.
And he went, no.
All right, I've got another, I got another, I've got another, I've got another, I've got another.
I love that.
You know when you think about something and you get the same fear.
I just thought about another one.
These are the things where you remember them in the show and you mean they're not used to get
them.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
So, I was about to go on stage, stood side of stage.
Mark Ronson's on stage doing his thing.
Yeah.
And he's guest singers for this one song were going to be me and Simon Lebon.
I've stood next to Simon Lebon.
We've had a little rehearsal.
Nice.
Know what we're doing.
And I'll tell you the song in a minute.
And then it's about to go out and I thought, I'll just make him laugh.
I turn to him and said, Simon, just before we go on, let me clarify, is it planet Earth or planet Earth as in French for egg?
Right.
And he went, it's Earth, Ricky, Earth.
As if I was really thinking, is it planet Earth.
Which is a great name for like an, you know.
Breakfast place, planet earth.
You're full of good ideas, you know.
You're in a place called egg slut.
Oh, yeah, I've heard of it.
I've heard of eggs.
I saw one this morning.
I'm not going to eggs.
I don't like eggs.
There's one near us called Pablo Egg Escobar.
He's a fucking thing.
He doesn't like eggs.
Me?
It's fucking great.
You're a maniac.
You get someone on the pocket.
I've got an egg slut.
I'm off the avocado slack.
And Mozy didn't know that I'd met you before.
But just like, oh, he's quite big guys.
It's, oh, is that going to be a difficult interview?
I said, no, he's, honestly, he's good value.
He's fucking, he's lost his mind.
Rosie, he was funny when I did Palser.
He's lost his fucking mind.
He's actually lost his fucking mind.
But you've got four-year-old twins as well.
So I feel like, yeah, yeah, you lose it.
Yeah, you're going.
It's funny, actually, because, like, I feel quite,
I feel quite compensatist to that.
I think it's because I'm coughing.
You know when you can't sleep of coughing.
Yeah, yeah.
And then I was like, I was lying there going,
at least I'm doing nothing.
And that a weird thing that you only get
when your parents are about going,
before you'd be really annoyed
and then you go, I'm lying here.
I'm still.
Don't have to do anything.
Yeah, that's a good feeling.
Sometimes really enjoy waking up before the kids
because you can gather your thoughts.
Yeah.
Instant like, oh, what are you eat?
Yeah.
Some of the fucking states I've been in knocking omelets up in that.
I'm like, I don't even know what's going.
I shouldn't be operating a fucking hob.
It's been honest.
Also, sorry if you haven't got kids,
there's nothing, nothing more annoying
than anyone without kids.
telling you the time.
Oh, dude.
I know. I know.
I'm tired.
But you don't know what it's like.
You don't know before you've got kids
what it's like, do you?
No.
Yeah, so.
We were like, I was like that.
Carl Hutchinson,
Carl Hutchinson, a friend of the podcast
who supports me on tour,
I used to have, when we had like a two-year-old,
he didn't.
But many a time I would tell him
about how I was tired
because of the two-year-old
or because the kid had us up or something.
And many a time he would quickly spin it around
to how he's tired or exhausted
because of his cat.
Oh, fuck off.
Yeah.
And I'd literally be like,
it's so fucking different.
You can literally throw your cat outside
and shut the door and it'll be fine.
Yeah.
It'll be fine.
You can let us anyone look after your cat.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Also, this is not me in any way getting married and annoyed.
Right.
Because I understand it totally.
Right.
But I go away for a few days working.
I said that working.
Because we don't work.
Yeah.
We're very lucky.
But, and it is tiring.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And sitting in airports is tiring.
Yeah.
And travelling.
It's just sitting.
It's tiring.
Then you do the show, which is tiring.
Yeah.
I mean, it's not physically exhausted.
Well, sometimes, but mentally.
We're talking about gigs, music gigs.
Yeah.
Come home as soon as you're home.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then she's out.
Yeah.
And I'm like, I've just been, and I can't really complain because I know which I'd rather
be doing.
Not that I don't love my kids.
Yeah.
But like there's an element of this is, that's more tiring.
Yeah.
than...
So...
So...
However...
However...
However, I used to go away on tour
when we just had Robin
and used to give us loads of shit.
I'd get back.
I would say I was tired.
She'd be like,
you're slept till 10 o'clock.
How dare you?
Here's the kid.
Then we did the arena tour together
for the podcast.
And she said,
I get it.
Right.
And yeah, so you just need your wife
to go do a massive tour.
She came to South America once.
Right.
And she got ill
and really badly sunburnt on a forehead.
Oh, no.
I'm secretly pleased.
Just a first of...
forehead. What's your wearing a reverse cap?
We went, the thing is also, when I'm on tour,
I do nothing. I love to just sit
in a hotel and figuring out where the
HMI cable is. Yeah, just chilling.
Yeah, now I can watch anything
I want, right? And then, but she was like,
let's do something. We're in Peru.
Oh, fuck that. So we went on a boat and looked at
seals. She got really badly burnt.
Stay in bed for the rest of the week. Good.
Are you got a story to read us
if you don't mind, Ricky?
I haven't brought me readers with me. Do you need
some? I just got them. Oh, you
Why?
They should be at the forefront of your mind
if you just got them.
Yeah, but I got it.
They're just for reading, aren't there?
It only happens at night.
Oh.
Because I was saying to someone the other day,
but I only need it.
At the end of the day, I need reading glasses.
And they thought I was like saying,
end at the day, I need reading glasses.
I really know them.
At the end of the day, I need reading glasses.
It is what it is.
At night, at night, at night, I need them.
For scrolling.
Because you've got all the lights off
and you're trying to be as quiet as possible.
God, if I could go back in time and tell my young self in Q Club
while I'm jumping around it, I predict a riot.
One day, that guy's going to tell you at the end of the day
needs reading glasses.
It's so surreal.
Dear Chris and Rosie,
please keep me anonymous.
I heard Chris freak out on your podcast about your son Robin losing teeth
and sticking them back in his mouth.
And it reminded me of what my work colleague once told.
me what she did with her teeth.
Oh, God.
When she was a teenager, she was in need of some more pocket money
to buy some high-heeled shoes.
He's put the accent.
You start off with the accent, you're going to have to do the...
Why did you read that?
Like Mr. Burns from the Simpsons?
High-heeled shoes.
For a local kids disco event.
She'd been saving up her money.
She'd been saving up a money
from doing chores around the house
to buy a specific set of shoes.
She had saved for ages but still couldn't afford her dream pair for the night.
Okay.
She decided there was only one thing for it.
She was only down a couple pounds, so picking out her remaining baby teeth,
two of which were either side of her front teeth with her own bare hands.
Gone fuck on.
Yes, she twiddled and pulled until her teeth came out to sell to the tooth fairy.
Grim.
Jesus Christ.
That's quite a...
That is awful.
The thing that gets me is she put having the perfect pair of shoes in front of having a nice smile.
That's a really good point
Oh that's amazing
So what do you do now?
Comment
Sometimes
What do we do?
Discuss?
I said something funny
the other day
What's your favourite Olympic event?
Discus
Oh, very good
Very good
We sometimes do discuss
We don't have to
I made up a joke for my kids the other day
Come on, then.
Do you want to hear it?
It's made up.
Right.
So don't steal it for your palimso.
Right.
See that?
Oh, we're going to see it.
No, we're going to do it on the podcast next year.
Okay.
It's not a good joke and it's quite complicated.
Fuck sick.
That's...
In France...
Oh, yeah, I made up too.
In France, they don't have bouncy castles.
They have bouncy chattos.
But you only find them in the dodoin.
De do you've heard that.
No, I just...
You knew it's coming.
That's good, actually.
I mean, your four-year-olds.
Your four-year-olds.
Your four-year-olds aren't going to like that.
While traveling on Air France, I always ordered this.
Why are you all French-based?
Because I was thinking about France in bed like that.
I think of more the joke.
While travelling Air France, I order get, I always get the,
so good.
I always order the vegetarian meal for the extra legumes.
The board are very good.
So, Chris and Rosie, Anonymous wants to know what you think about that.
Taking your teeth out to get a pair of shoes.
I think it's awful.
I think the fact she did it herself was absolutely disgusting.
I think she's putting shoes.
But we...
It doesn't matter with your baby teeth, though.
But you've got a friend who used to just get teeth whipped out
because she didn't have money to get them fixed.
Yeah, but she was a grown-up.
There's still maniac behaviour, like.
Yeah, my friend...
She's just got them fixed.
It's cost of like seven to run.
Touchwood. Never had anything done at the dentist me.
Have you ever been?
Yeah.
I've had anything done.
Do you know what?
I'm surprisingly good as well,
considering my mum used to give me a glass of Coke at night by the bed.
You're personally starting to make sense.
But night's task.
Maybe it was training.
Your during the night drink was a Coke.
Yeah. That's mad.
It was diet.
Oh, that's fine.
It's fine.
Still caffeine.
How did you sleep?
No, because I used to have terrible teeth.
Not like rotting or anything or fillings.
They were pretty perfect nightbreak.
They looked like a graveyard.
Okay.
I spent a fortune.
Envisaline.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Literally.
Just before turkey teeth.
Yeah, before turkey teeth.
Yeah.
I want to do that.
I wonder. Because also, within Viseline, at one point, it was only about halfway through.
I said, I want to stop now.
And he went, no, we can make them look perfect.
And I'm like, I don't want it.
Yeah.
Not Joel Dommet.
So you're still.
Yeah, it's got good teeth, Joel.
My tooth's fucked at the front.
I cracked it when I was 18 drunk.
And it's just a composite filling.
It costs like 60 quid.
I've had it for years.
And it's like on photos.
It's grey.
But to get it.
Only on photographs?
In a black light.
Yeah, it's like, it's minging.
It's just, sometimes when I see pictures on the tell.
It's gross.
No, it shines in a disco.
It goes white.
But for to fix it, I'd have to get a full set of veneers.
And I was like, it's a bit drastic.
Yeah.
Yeah, so yeah.
Yeah, I've got, that's a false one.
The fact that people just nip the turkey for full front teeth redone is just unbelievable.
Madness.
I mean, why?
Is it, is it, why, yeah.
Turkey's doing well.
It's really well.
Turkey's doing, yeah.
We've got to go.
Listen, no, we haven't.
You don't know about this, Rosie, but I've got a quiz.
Oh, my God.
I love a quiz.
Love a quiz.
I've got a funny feeling you're going to enjoy this
because of just the way you go on, right?
Okay.
I feel like a local radio DJ.
I came up with,
I wrote this yesterday on the trip.
Oh, is it?
This or that?
Like, B4 Chiefs?
Almost.
It's can Ricky Wilson predict a riot?
Okay, yeah, that's fine.
Question 1, five of them.
31st of March, 1990.
People take it to the streets to protest
the induction of Paul Tax by Margaret Thatcher.
Riot or not a riot?
Oh, Jesus.
So, he's just going to, he's just,
guessing if there was a riot.
Riot.
Correct.
This is not predicting.
That was, yes it is.
That was, shut up.
This is remembering.
These have happened.
I remember a riot.
Oh yeah, this is a great one, right.
That was the pool tax riot.
400 people arrested and property damaged.
Right.
Another easy one coming at you.
Washington, D.C.,
1963, approximately a quarter of a million demonstrators
has gathered at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.
to advocate for civil and economic rights of African Americans.
Correct. No riot.
This piece of demonstration is widely credited with helping
pass the Civil Rights Act.
Okay, we'll get a bit tricky and a bit off the wall now.
October 17th, McDonald's re-released the Disney's...
Sorry, October 2017, I apologise.
She's on it, he's on it.
October 2017,
McDonald's re-release the Disney's Moulan-themed Seshwan source
for a limited run due to its mentions in the animated show, Rick and Morty.
Riot.
Correct, it was a riot.
People jumped on counters, screamed at staff.
person reportedly swapped a car for a sashay of Sesh one source.
What?
October 2013, Newcastle suffered a 3-0 defeat to Sunderland.
No riot.
There was a riot.
He punched a horse.
He punched...
High five.
Someone punched the horse.
There was indeed a riot.
A Newcastle fan punched a police horse and got jailed for a year.
Really?
I don't like anyone that doesn't any bad to a horse.
Hors is not supposed to push.
He fucking properly chinned it.
Right.
It didn't react.
The horse didn't get in the slightest.
But can I just say it?
