Kai's been doing it with Mark and Kerry Marks and I've been having fun out in New York.
So we catch up about that and how New York has changed,
how we've changed, how we've grown as people,
but also still kind of celebrate what pieces of shit we used to be.
We talk about our shitty haircuts and just in general, we're back.

yes
and we're back together for the this is day one of the tour uh huh em we're in Glasgow Have you been since 9-11? Technically on the road. Yes.
And we're back together.
This is day one of the tour.
Uh-huh.
We're in Glasgow, which is why we're at my house for the podcast.
Should we start numbering these ones again?
Because our numbered episodes were like interim, weren't they,
between the tour ending and... Oh, yeah.
Is this 5.1?
So is this a new season then?
I think so, aye.
Well, that's good because for the next one,
when we're back in the studio,
it's been done up slightly.
Me and Matthew were just talking about that.
Have you done stuff?
We've done stuff.
Me and Cullen need to get in there ourselves
because we had to move it to get the walls done.
So we need to move stuff back. But I think now it's there we can actually start adding stuff so it might start
looking almost as if we've taken any part of this seriously i think we have been getting
incrementally better yeah yeah yeah but i mean if i was if i was a patreon listener and i was
watching the quality of this podcast given how much money i
was putting in i would be like wait how expensive is this stag do i can't expect it can i just let
the listeners know as well that it's just got a lot more expensive because of the pound dropping
because i reserved the hotel based on a budget and um and i've got to pay for that in US dollars. Yeah. Oh, man.
I looked at the difference, the price swing.
The swing in price is about 15%, 14 point something percent.
Imagine the economy's so shit that it matches America's.
When I was young, I remember...
It used to be a half-price superstore.
My fucking God, didn't it just?
Can you remember looking at the price of trainers
when you're in National Drive in of trainers when you're in like
International Drive in Florida?
Aye.
And you're just like,
oh,
if only I had 90 quid,
$90.
This is a 45 pound pair of trainers.
Yeah.
Oh.
Well,
I mean,
speaking of,
I,
I bought,
I finally bought myself
some sneaks.
You've got some sneakers,
haven't you?
You've been to New York
for three.
Aye. Well, I was just there. New York, a very got a lot of sneakers, haven't you? You've been to New York for three... Aye.
Well,
I was just there.
New York,
a very matter of fact,
America,
a very matter of fact,
how they name stuff.
It's a full sneak in.
Yeah.
I like,
one of the many things that I love about New York
is,
I truly believe
it's one of the most diverse places
in the world.
And I just don't mean,
I don't just mean like,
religion wise,
ethnicity, sexuality, gender, any of those things.
It's just, man, whatever you feel you are, right?
If you know yourself, you can dress how you like,
act like you fucking like,
and somewhere in New York, there is something for you.
Man, I was in Starbucks one day
just getting a fucking coffee for myself
and a tea for Cara.
And my mum was with me and there was this, I'm gonna say six foot six black guy with
like an Adonis body, like you know.
He had his body out?
Yes.
Right?
Right.
But what he was, he was in a pink skirt, right?
Not a Celtic pink skirt, it was a legit skirt with like these thigh high
black laced
leather boots and then
this sort of shawl
of just like pink mesh and these
big little... Somebody just randomised
a wrestler on WWE
Somebody
got high and played Saints Row 2
and went let's get
fucking weird.
But man, he pulled it off.
Like, you looked up at him
and you couldn't not look at this gorgeous man
and everything that he was wearing.
And of course it was designed so that he fucking stood out.
But my ass was...
That would be so weird if his attitude was like,
what are you looking at?
Like, you look classy.
Can't not look.
But to be fair,
his attitude might have been that.
Because in New York,
that sort of look
and, you know,
expressing yourself through
your appearance
is just so common, normal,
that I think me and my mum
staring probably was rude.
But had he noticed or cared,
we would have been like,
we love it.
We've just, like,
New York is the only place
as somebody that's travelled the world
New York is one of the very few places
I can go to
and still see
five different types of people
I didn't know existed every day
where you just go
that's
oh my
that's a different ensemble
like if you saw them at the fringe
you'd take a flyer
yes
you'd be like
what's your show
what's your show time
is this costume
oh this
is how you live this is just kind of starbucks it wasn't man because we checked because there
was one night when uh when i was outside with fans and then just this fucking parade of gays
walked by right and all done out there was a couple of drags in there uh there was just a
couple of just gay guys in like tight shirt oh me and elliot with a suitcase
and they were like what's this and someone's like oh there was a there was a pride
pride thing in new york tonight but this was a week later that we saw this dude so he was just
just wearing it he was like it was the walk of shame like a week later he looked like a gayer
xerxes oh nice
like a
Xerxes who already
looks incredibly gay
yeah and I'm pretty sure
he wore
I mean I know there was
heaps of women in there
but I mean look
if you're a
if you're marjoring the Greeks
and you're running around
that time
you're
you're banging boys
homophobia only came in
like the Greeks were all
for bumming
aye
like I mean they were
they were a bit
peed away with it
they were just like ducks
explain yourself ducks just shag everything them and their necrophilia and fucking do they homosexuality Aye Like I mean They were a bit Peeed away with it They were just like ducks Explain yourself
Ducks just shag everything
Them and their necrophilia
And fucking
Do they?
Homosexuality
I'm not putting those
Two in a bracket
I give up
Well according to this
Instagram clip
You are
Aye ducks are pure rapey
Oh no they're rapey
Aye but like
Aye they don't discriminate
And they've got that
Have they got that
Corkscrew cock
Aye yeah
So it goes in
And if you try and
Not get raped
They're like well
I'm pulling your uterus
Out like a cork
Aye
I used to have a bit
I'm sure I would
Donald Duck
Aye
Being like that
I mean
I mean just look at him
He's got no
He's got no drugs or something
He's fucking banging for it
So One of my favourite things about New York
And I do have to admit my
Failure here
I said I was going to do two months without marijuana
Didn't they did they
Well so I caved
When Ray died
Oh aye
Yeah you got out
She died in the morning And me, Karen and Colin Were gotta like she died in the morning she died in the morning
and we
like me Cara
and Colin were all
just a wreck
in the vet's
office
just like crying
saying welcome to our car
in retrospect
there were some really
funny things that happened
one
Cara was funny throughout
I wasn't expecting her to be
like she was making jokes
here and there
like I was trying to make jokes
being like
you're this fucking cat man
like you know
typical her to make
you know all of this inconvenient but it was the vet so i'm crying
gala's crying gala's crying and she's like look that's like sometimes when you put the
injection into it's got to go deep into the vein they might struggle against it that might be
uncomfortable to watch if you want to leave the room and we're like we're not leaving the room
and also ray's not going to care like we've seen her have injection before like she purred when they shaved her once like she just
she liked being touched so they put that that that needle in and you can and she's not fucking
kicking off and they put the second one in and they're like okay i'll take her wow so we're just
there like stroking and i thought she was getting a tattoo. She's just being brave now.
Cullen's sitting there, stroking her belly in the vets then.
She puts the stethoscope to Ray's chest.
She goes, that's her.
And Cullen goes, oh, and how long do you think it'll be?
And she's like, no, that's her dead.
And Cullen was like, oh.
Cullen didn't realise he thought
Cullen thought
he was like
nursing Ray
to the other side
yeah
but really like
he was just
petting a corpse
just stroking a corpse
already starting to
decompose now
yeah
the earth was already
clearing her back
and he's just there
just gonna miss you girl
I just like
at the time
nothing was
well I mean
stuff was funny
I was laughing
occasionally
because you can laugh in grief.
But there was one bit where I look back and I'm like,
that all was so funny.
Him just being like, and how long until she passes?
She's dead.
Oh.
Oh, God.
He was trying to be all solemn.
There's soil all over the back of his hand
he's trying to pour it out
well
the only thing that would
have made it funnier
is if
he'd been like
and how long until she goes
she's like
she's gone
he would have been like
oh
ew
yeah
can you catch anything
yeah
is it contagious
do you want to inject me now
death
is death contagious
well I mean, it is.
We're all going to catch it.
It's got to be.
We're all going to catch the adventure.
We are the walking dead.
So, I mean, after Ray, I was like, right, I'm getting high today because I don't want
to be my own head.
And like Cara was like, this doesn't count.
That's absolutely fine.
Got fucking baked.
Went to, I don't know if we did fucking i think we did anything but i'm like
that's fine minor blip we'll get past it like i felt more in control anyway the fact that i didn't
do the next day i was like fucking class back to being in control this is all this is all i'm after
like i don't want my relationship with marijuana to be over but i have to admit to myself that
there are some points when i lose control but the problem is losing control on weed doesn't really look
that bad
like I'm still super present I'm still like
a good dad I clean I cook
I do all these things but it's
not good for your mental health. You'd feel really bad
turning up to rehab off weed
Right
Like where people have got their stories and all that
and you're like oh yeah I was just sleeping in on that
It's like I lost I haven't seen my kids
in four years, even though I've been clean
for three, but I understand the stuff
that I put my partner through
they don't trust me anymore
and my kids don't want to see me because
the last time they saw me was this
it's like, yeah I'm an alcoholic, I actually
crashed my car
I took someone's life with it.
I served seven years in prison
where obviously I didn't drink
or thought I wasn't going to drink,
but then I ended up drinking
because they make like bath vodka and stuff there.
You know, the bathtubs in the prison.
You get so carried away with a bit like that.
You just start down with Pablo Escobar's prison
with a full post of bed nap.
No no no
Oh no I am
Bath of Vodka's Romania
That's what I'm thinking of
But they do make
They make toilet vodka
They make something
I mean they probably like
Smuggle shit in or something
I don't know how
Smuggle work out
But anyway
Your point is
It gets around to you
And you're like
Aye I started a routine
That I'd already done
And hit the back of the bed
Anyway I told Cara I'd already done and hit the back of the bed.
I told Cara I'd be up to bed in 30 minutes,
but I ended up playing 90 minutes of FIFA.
And they're like, was she mad?
No, no, she was asleep.
Didn't know.
Just while I've got a bookmark in it,
I've been playing a game called Disco Elysium.
Have you heard of it?
You mentioned it on the last one.
Did I mention it on the podcast?
Oh no, it's written on the board and then we got onto it. I think me and your bro mentioned it there,
about you should play it,
because you've got like,
there's like a million different psychological stats, right,
that get filled up depending on what character you pick
at the beginning.
And one of the highest on mine is electrochemistry.
So basically, the voices in your head give you ideas
of what to do throughout the role-playing game, right?
In the electrochemistry world.
So you put hints on?
Like, it gives you extra...
You were like, super hints.
No, it gives you extra options of what to say or what to do in situations.
Like, if your perception's high, you'll notice more things.
If your logic's high, you'll solve more puzzles.
And my electrochemistry's high.
And I had a conversation with someone.
D&D-esque.
Right?
And they were like
she's just put that cigarette out and it wasn't finished
go and check the ashtray
there was no option to go and check the ashtray
and I was like oh this is my voices in my head
I've chosen me as a character
to play in this game
this was supposed to be escapism
so get to new york and man the smell of marijuana in new york is pungent now
it's fucking everywhere now there's always been like man in major cities especially in america
there's always the smell of weeds it's not a bad ambient smell for a city no a lot of cities ambient smells
just the fucking traffic and sewage and especially in america like it's hot so if there's any garbage
out like it's like la yeah fucking stinks of garbage yeah right and and also la is too spread
apart for the smell of marijuana to mask any of the other smells when it's new york's condense
but like i'm like how is it how is it it like, I'm like, how is it?
It always smells a bit weird, but how is it so fucking bad?
And then I walk into,
kind of just like go get some like juice and stuff for the house.
So I just walk into like a fucking corner shop, right?
Where there's like bread, there's some minor selection of fruit,
juice, ice cream, cereals, chocolate bars, crisps.
They've got their like fucking off-license, so you can't buy booze in normal shops there and i get to the fucking tell and there is like a trick-or-treating
bowl of pre-rolled joints right and i'm like what's that she's like weed and i'm like what she's like weed marijuana and I'm like
CBD
she was like
THC
and I'm like
that's THC
and she's like
yeah
and I'm like
pre-rolled THC joints
and she was like
yeah
and I'm like
I don't believe you
well I guess just a compliment
like a mint
having mint
no no no
they're like three bucks
okay
yeah but they're just
you can pick whichever one
you want
and I'm like
and I'm like
there's no
there's no way this is's no there's no way
this is adjoint
there's no way in hell
this is
from a fucking
from a fucking
scotman
amazing
so it would just be like
them having a basket
full of like
jager
mini jagers
they just
they just say it as like
you might just want to have a little
so I'm like
I've got
I don't
this will be
this will be shit
it'll be something
there's no fucking way I take it I go outside I smoke the fucking thing I'm like tasted've got like I don't I don't this will be this will be shit it'll be something there's no fucking way I take I go outside I smoke the fucking thing I'm like tasted a bit
of weed but not too fucking strong going to a Nolita's pizza get that eat that and then it
starts tasting I mean it's a good pizza anyway then it starts tasting real fucking good and I'm
just like I am absolutely fucking stoned off my noggin here I can't't believe this. And I get to the fucking venue that night.
I'm talking to Carter, who's the sound tech.
And I'm like, is marijuana illegal in New York?
He's like, no, no, no, it's not.
And I'm like, huh?
He's like, no, no, it's still illegal.
What?
Like, federally across the country, it's illegal.
New York has just decriminalised it.
And I was like, but I...
Do the co-op know that?
Yeah, the spa. The're in trouble man because i tell you what that is the coolest so garage i have ever been to nobody left just heaps of parked cars people filled up their vehicles
and then for the night so basically it's decriminalised
which means
like
you don't get in trouble
for smoking it
you don't get in trouble
for having it on you
but you cannot
sell it
but
the way New York is
beat cops
regular cops
cannot
stop anyone
any shops or stores
from selling it
because they don't have
the authority
or whatever to take
down a company so the police are just looking at it going well that's not allowed and if i had more
power you'd be in trouble yeah yeah so they just found a loophole right it's illegal but you can't
be done for it no no you can't so the better fucking loophole is right so beat cops can't
get can't get you in trouble for it, but detectives can. A detective
could 100% walk into your fucking store
But they're busy.
It's New York! Of course they're
fucking busy! They're dealing with
murders! Imagine they're just like, right,
let's just get the numbers up.
Let's get the numbers up on how many fucking reports
were filed. Yep. So like
a detective could go into one of these things and
occasionally this does happen when you just get a fucking jobs worth. They go and they go, right, here is, and it so like a detective could go into one of these things and occasionally this does happen when you just get a fucking
jobs worth
they go and they go
right here is
and it's like a thousand dollar
fine for selling it
but each of these stores
makes two or three grand a day
selling weed
so they're just like
like a detective comes in
and they're like
is it
is that weed
they're like yep
like Dave Chappelle's
paying a smoking fine
for smoking in the building
on stage
they're just paying the fine
it's a rich people tax it's like car parking fines no no no but it's man
every store like man these stores are corner stores and man there's a couple of there's
occasional weed shop there as well which again it's not really if one of them gets stung they'll
just chip in on each other we just we're just we've got a little pot together a pot well I
imagine they're just like are you gonna you going to do all of these?
Are you going to do all these stores?
Is that your Friday evening in New York?
You know what it's like,
what's happened?
It's like, you know,
when it's coming for,
if somebody just gets pulled over
for like doing 35 and a 30 or whatever,
and they're just like,
oh, did you catch all the rapists
and paedophiles, did you?
It's like the American cops got that
and then just went,
oh, fuck, we haven't.
Two seconds. Oh, no,'t two seconds oh no no no
stay there
oh fuck
are they still
on the street
yeah
hold on can I
actually get two
of these because
I've got to go
solve a murder
and by the
sounds of things
it is a brutal
so I just
ended up
ended up
I mean not as
bad as it was
like it was still
like it was after shows
which is my thing
my thing was always
if people bring me weed
you know
I just don't have the strength
to say no
and also I've said on this podcast
so many times
that if you bring weed
to the stage door
aye
I'll smoke it
and I was like
what if somebody
has travelled all this way
this is her
they had it written in my head
travels all this way
with a joint
all the ones that moment
aye
and all the ones that moment all the ones that moment
with me to smoke weed
and what that actually is
is me going
god I hope one of these
cunts brings a spliff
it is isn't it
it's the only
only reason I go out there
no it's not
it's a bit of the reason
I've got this thing
where I'll
I'll come back
because I don't like
I like to quit smoking
every time I get home
and then I get home
and I had like
seven cigarettes left
and I I could have thrown them had like seven cigarettes left and I could have
thrown them in the bin
right
but I know that
that's just going to
cost us in the long run
because I'm going to
end up smoking again
so I might as well
put them to one side
and then I put them
to one side
and then my heat guns
just rattle through them
yes
yes
that is fun
because it makes
so much sense
just get rid of them.
I'm not going to bend them.
Because I remember a time when I used to have to scrounge for cigarettes.
I used to have to go through ashtrays.
On computer games.
Not even in real life.
I have to smoke these now.
I'm trying to get a contact buzz off the bum on the telly.
Man, the amount of times that I've gone, right,
that's me fucking quitting weed.
And the only way I can quit weed
is if I smoke the rest
of my weed tonight
and I will, I'll smoke it all
and the next day I'll go,
silly me,
I didn't smoke the crystals
in the bottom.
That'll be bloody tempting.
I better go and smoke that today.
And then I spend all day
smoking that and then I'm like,
wake up the next day
and I'm like, good,
it's done. I'm clean. up the next day and I'm like good it's done
I'm clean though I do have a little brush
I do have a tiny
little brush that I can run around my grinder
and with a toothpick I can scrape
the bits off and I'm going yeah
I mean this is what
an addict does
I made the mistake of
buying a gram of coke for a
Thursday wedding on a Monday.
Guess who was hungover on Tuesday?
Guess who went to bed early at the wedding?
None of you cunts got any coke?
Poor planning.
Poor fucking planning this.
I did punch drunk.
It was like 11 o'clock at night. fucking planning this I did punch drunk you know
just like
it was like 11 o'clock at night
do you know what I mean
I'm just about to get out of bed
and I'm just like
lads
was it not
when
when Rocknest
was still on
you and Ricketts
were meant to bring up
like six or seven grams
of gear
and then
and then
we got to Rocknest
and you were like
we only got two
and we're like
oh you only managed to get two.
No.
No, that's not what happened.
No, me and Rick, it's had one of the worst nights out of my life.
Was that?
Mate, we're both pulled in Runcorn.
Cool.
With one last.
And did you rock, paper and scissors?
No, no, no, no.
Let us finish.
Which had the mass of about five women.
Uh-huh.
Right, yeah.
And you rock, paper and scissors
to see who got to...
I mean, we scissored.
It was a disaster. It was an absolute disaster man
There's actually photos from that night
That still make us laugh
Have you seen those photos?
With me in a leather jacket
I didn't have my own leather jacket
Nothing but a leather jacket for a threesome
And I had a fucking tango doll
And I was coked off my fucking melon
So I have these photos
I'm just With me in a leather and I was coked off my fucking melon so I have these photos I'm just
with my jacket on
and I'm fucking dancing
on my back
with a tango doll man
that
that photo

putting on
a fucking
cereal
I'm joking
she had a
fry up
she put
sugar on
a fry up
oh man I can't believe I just fucking had to see where I was on a fry up.
Oh, man.
Can't believe I just fucking had to see where...
I was on a podcast
with Kerry the other day
and I just tried to tiptoe
around that girl
that was...
Because it was
at the lap dancers,
the girl that wanted
to dance for us
just wasn't very attractive
and I was just trying...
Because you know how
you just want to like...
You just want to go,
oh, I'm just going
to have a drink.
I'm just going to just chill out with my mates and all that you don't want to go and
get back on the fucking sushi carousel mate i'm gonna wait for someone to actually whet my
appetite you don't want to be a dick no no um so i had a tiptoe to run that out of the last podcast
just think i don't want to find i don't want to sound degrading. Well, no, I think it comes, like, you don't,
it's not nice to call someone, like, ugly or unattractive.
Like, I feel that now, that, like,
sometimes I see people who I think are fucking horrific looking.
I think they're really fucking ugly people.
And it's not the be all and end all,
but it is part of your sexual preference aye aye
and sometimes I find myself
you know when I see people like that just going
well just having horrible thoughts
just in my head being like ugly this ugly that
and I'm like well first of all they probably
don't care
and also there could be a beautiful soul
probably is a nice soul within that
there definitely is
I mean this for
everybody meat vehicle it just seems a lot more like a meat vehicle for some than others
aye aye and and and obviously my perception of ugly comes from the fact that you know when we
were younger we were just man we were so desperate because we or at least for me my insecurities of
being ignored throughout fucking high school by girls and whatnot and then suddenly get attention later on and then women who i perceive
to be beautiful wanted to fuck me then that's where i got value from so that's when i started
valuing beautiful people more over ugly people which is entirely in my own fucking head and it's
my own and it's social conditioning from like childhood and that as well isn't it like yeah
and also like fucking capitalism dictates what's beautiful.
100%.
Yeah.
And also what people can fucking like anyone.
I think anyone can like bump themselves up like five points and looks if you are first
personality can give you three points immediately.
Right.
A fucking funny, friendly, kind, ugly person is way better to hang out with and generally be
around than a fucking nine out of ten and even pillow talk afterwards the only thing the the
nine or ten is good for is like this is great to look at while we're having sex right and this is
gentlest by the way for whoever you decide to fuck this is just based on looks i think personality
can take you up minimum of
fucking three points if it's exceptionally good how you dress it can add a point to your things
how you carry yourself understand that if you perceive yourself to be unattractive confidence
is a hard thing to come by but you've got to remember confidence is one of the easiest things
to fake like it really is you do just have And I know that sounds insane, but it is.
Start small.
Yeah, start small.
Start small with faking your confidence.
Yeah.
Just like bold us straight in.
You're probably going to have some real bad social fucking etiquette.
And ultimately,
if you're one of these people
who are able to,
you know,
and also working out,
getting into,
you know,
decent shape,
not only for your mental health,
but to just get you into a place
where I'm not suggesting fucking abs
because fucking God knows the last time I had abs.
Abs are such unrealistic goals as well.
You can achieve them,
but you're not going to have a good time.
Yeah, and then you've got to maintain them forever
and that's unrealistic.
But what is realistic is you can do a bit of exercise
every two or three days
that keeps you not only a bit trimmer,
but in general is just good for your mental health,
which will then make it easier to
fake confidence and maybe even really have confidence so like now that i'm older i realize
all the things that i sort of perceive to be beautiful now i mean you're right with the pillow
talk like sex is with a beautiful person is great for as long as that sex lasts and if they're
beautiful that's not long that's like
four minutes of sex and what i required to get that sex was like three hours of dating three
hours of just going through this vapid fucking conversation with someone that you've got no
interest in you don't find them interesting you don't find them fucking funny but just in your
head you're like i've got fucking because they're beautiful because if i'm a fucking beautiful person
that will make me feel less ugly on the inside because you know that's how at least my brain fucking worked at the time whereas now I'm like
all the fan lays I remember were never the were never the most beautiful can you remember when
you were single if you woke up and you were chatting to someone the next day and you like
you wanted them in your house and you went like
like that's that's the danger where you're just like oh fuck what if i like this girl yeah yeah oh no
no this is gonna fuck everything up this yeah oh man yeah yeah the feeling of like after like the
the post nut clarity when that clears and like i thought and your brain post nut clarity i like it
it's not my it's not my term I can't claim it
but like
well it's the standard
thing amongst
well you know what
it's probably actually
true amongst women
I've only ever heard
men discuss it though
but like
if you've ever got
a big decision
to make in your life
have a wank
oh yeah
because it just
it gets rid of
and you know what
it definitely will work
I have like
should I get
should I get them
cigarettes
in the house
well of course I should
Because I always smoke
After sex
Did you have something
To finish on that topic
Because I want to move on to something
my thing was just going to be there
now that I'm fucking
older and a bit
like if
just to be
if you have to deal with people who are shallow like I
was when I was
in my 20s
those are not the people you want to fuck
be in a relationship or generally be around if
somebody you are dating or seeing or are interested in does not make you feel they don't have to make
you feel beautiful because that's not the most important thing but the one thing they focus on
is your beauty and your looks move past that because that's only ever going to be a fucking
surface level relationship because i've done you know hundreds of those just
confidence look after yourself be kind to yourself and you know get some sneaks oh yeah so get off
the sneaks i you know you know what you were talking about there i had um i had a routine
that i used to do about punching um and i felt the need to slip in like even though it didn't
add to the joke it just made it wordier.
I was like, her looks aren't her redeeming features.
She's got so many more things that she's better than me for,
and I felt the need to sometimes slip that in
just so that I wasn't just making it look like
that's the important thing.
Aye.
It's not.
It's just the one that everybody spots immediately.
Well, because the initial attractions,
like, man, I...
When I was initially attracted to Cara, was I attracted to her personality? body spots immediately well because what the initial attractions like the man i man when i
was initially attracted to cara was i attracted to her personality no didn't know it right was i
attracted to how funny it was no i wasn't listening to a word she said i wasn't we're not having
fucking partner it's because she had really nice legs great tits and a nice fucking face that's a
hundred percent and also like you absolutely shouldn't have went there 100% I shouldn't have
went there
god oh
and then it was
forbidden for a while
and that made it
so much fucking better
whereas now
don't get me wrong
I still think
she's fucking stunning
but in the list of things
that I love about my partner
like it's
you know
I remember a routine
I used to do
and I think every comedian
eventually fucking touches
on this
which is you know
my partner
find a girl that can cook.
The looks,
they get worse
but the cooking just gets better.
Like the thing of like,
oh,
you know,
my partner always goes,
you know,
if I was in a wheelchair,
would you still love me?
Or,
you know,
if I was blind,
would you still love me?
And if I was fat,
would you still love me?
And obviously the thing is,
I wouldn't love you if you were fat
because that's your own choice
that you've fucking gone through. And man, I'm pretty sure I had a routine I still would at this
point like I'm in too deep now I'm like yeah I'd be in love with watching side of that little fat
and I never thought if Cara got fat I would be saying they'd be like I'm a drug addict fair
enough like what what am I gonna fucking do like you you, I'm a drug addict, fair enough. Like, what am I going to fucking do?
Like, you have to kiss a weed fucking mouth
and listen to my boring stoner ramblings
when I come back in from the office
and I'm like,
do you reckon penguins know they've got two different feet
or do you reckon they just like,
because they can't see their feet.
So do they know what's going on?
Do they think they're a snake on the bottom?
Like, what's going on there?
Conceptualised feet.
I'm going to set you up here
because I know you've got something to talk about
and I've got a good lead into it here.
Aye.
So,
my
hairdresser betrayed me this morning.
We knew both, mate.
I went to Creed's barber in...
Your hair looks good, though.
Thanks, man.
I mean, there's not...
There's not...
All I'm saying is...
The barber did a good job.
Yeah!
Because you didn't ask him to dye it.
But you are starting to get a little bit Dr. Strange going on.
No, it's Reed Richards
Reed Richards has got the grey
apparently according to Gann I'm getting grey
at the top there as well
and I was actually talking to my buddy
Cal Penn about this and
because he is an
actor so he's like
I go grey but I dye my hair because you've got to play
roles in different ages
so of course are you going to dye your hair and I'm like nah I dye my hair because you've got to play roles in different ages so of course
are you going to dye your hair and I'm like no I can't do it like I'll there's some things about
my appearance that are like I'll fix like my teeth are fucked because when I was young I fell over
when I had my baby teeth and I smacked my fucking lip off a curb and it meant like the teeth adult
teeth that were in my gums dented slightly so So when they came in, they just had like two small minor fucking divots.
I never really noticed it until I was asked to be on television.
And then the BBC were like, oh, those teeth aren't good enough.
Do you mind if we pay to get those fixed?
And then Matthew knocked them out.
I staggered and then Matthew knocked them out.
And I've also fucking chipped them again.
They regularly chip.
So he was being a drama queen is what he's saying.
Right.
Well, yeah.
So I get these
sort of,
that's something
that part of my face,
I'm like,
I'll get that
because I use these
for eating
and I use this for that
and this isn't part
of getting older.
This is an injury
that I've had
that, you know,
I'm just getting rid of.
My hair has just aged.
It's also like,
it's like getting a dent
knocked out of your car
as well.
Like if your teeth are
all fucking mangled up,
like I'm getting body work done on my teeth,
and it's class.
I can't believe how much they've changed since day one.
I'm nearly done now.
Nearly finished?
No, they're good.
There's a little bit left.
A little bit on the bottom.
With the grey hair, I'm just like...
It's going grey.
It's going grey,
but thanks to both my fucking granddads
and my dad I'm like I'll have a full head
of hair so grey is alright
especially on a dad as well is it at
32 though
whatever I know
whatever you're married you've got a kid
you'll be married you've got a kid
she always insults me for being she's not even 30 yet
I'd rather I got grey than
like be losing my hairline yeah I agree with with that but i would i would like to have gone great
40 as opposed to 31. yeah that's one thing i'm holding on to is like i've nearly made it to 30
before to 40. yeah before it starts like fading it's thinner it's thinner than that um so i'm
going to my barber creed i love love Creed. He's so good.
I don't know the name of the other guy there,
but man, standard Turkish barber.
You walk in, you point, you go two,
and then three inches off the top,
and he doesn't say a fucking word to you.
He cuts your hair in 15 minutes.
Three inches off the top?
How long was it?
It'd been a while.
Today, he started talking to me.
Oh, really?
This cunt's never spoken to me
In his fucking life
And that was the thing
You liked about him?
Yeah
I don't know what happened
He also had
And it was good luck for him
I'll give him this
His hair is bleach blonde
He's never had bleach blonde hair
But he's like dressing different
I don't know if he's divorced
No
Who's this bitch?
Who is this bitch?
Who is this bitch?
That came and changed
My perfect
Perfect Kurdish I think he might be
Kurdish actually I think calling him Turkish might be offensive I think whatever you get wrong in
that region is bad yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah wait wait are you telling me there's like you know
tensions in the Middle East uh yeah yeah hi um our fault um so he's just like how's your day and
I'm like you've never asked me this In our fucking
Three year relationship
I'm like it's
Fine how's yours
He's like yeah good
Friends about me
Last night
But I don't go out
On Friday nights
Because I work early
On Saturdays
Because people want
Their haircuts on Saturday
I'm like okay
He goes
And I don't drink
And I'm like
What is happening
What is fucking
Happening here
Who's this bitch
That's got you talking
You dating a white woman Are you dating a white woman What is fucking happening here? Who's this bitch that's got you talking?
You dating a white woman?
Are you dating a white woman?
Did your Kurdish wife leave you and you're dating a white woman?
Great!
That's exactly what's happened!
He's dating a fucking honky!
Your father left you for a honky?
He's left his good Kurdish wife
who didn't talk to him. They just sat in silence in their fucking house Baba left you for hungry? He's left his good Kurdish wife,
right,
who didn't talk to him,
right?
They just sat in silence in their fucking house
and that's how he lived his life.
Met him miserable,
but a good Baba nonetheless.
And he was,
you know what,
she probably talked fucking heaps.
She probably talked all the time
and when he got out of the house
and he was cutting hair,
he was just so happy
to stand in fucking silence
and do what he loved doing
and that was where he got his fucking peace. And now he's got some fucking hippie bitch who's like and how was
your day creed my friend jennifer says you look good with blonde hair he just goes along with it
but i did also and i'll never get past this and i I don't know, I know it's not racism, but I don't know if it's a bad thing.
But one of my...
You definitely just did it.
I know it's not racist, but...
One of my favourite things about society,
well, immigration essentially,
is it will never, I know this is bad,
it will never not be funny to me
to hear accents
that you do not expect
out of faces
you do not expect
oh that's really funny
it's man
if I
if it's a fucking
Indian
Geordie Brown person
at the Indian restaurant
fucking
yes mate
because it took me a while
to differentiate
between the two
and then when I did
it fucking
because for me
I'm like that's fucking progress
like of course
there are fucking
second, third
even fourth generation
Scottish people
whose grandparents
were from India
or they were from Somalia
or for whatever reason
you know
70 to 100 years ago
they emigrated to Scotland
they've been there
and
Raoul Coley
had a show called
Newcastle Brown Mail
great
that's actually really good
isn't it
so and it always takes me a while to fucking think but whenever I see like this fucking Newcastle brown male. Great. That's actually really good. So,
and it always takes me a while
to fucking think,
but whenever I see like this fucking
Turkish guy,
just be like,
and how was your day, Ken?
I'm like, great,
superb.
So even though he was talking to me,
just hearing,
and I get to look in the mirror
and I just get to see this big brown face
speaking in the most classical dialect
in the world,
I'm like,
you going anywhere nice eh?
I'm going over to
Faroe Islands eh?
I'm like
you need to start
cutting your hair in Glasgow
not Edinburgh mate
because
I actually did like this one
it was a Ouija accent
but this one's
fucking rancid
still
can't complain
you did a good job
you just did
nine minute
fucking haircut
aye
well I got I think I got my haircut by a customer Can't complain. You did a good job. You just did. Nine minute fucking haircut. Aye.
Well,
I got,
I think I got my hair cut by a customer.
Here is who.
The thousandth customer.
Which is,
right.
I've had real,
I've had real fucking trouble
with barbers around here
because I'm in Clarkston,
right,
and there's a couple of different,
there was one where
this woman cut me hair
and she'd done a decent job,
right, and then I went back of it
and it was shut on a Saturday,
which is madness.
And then I went into one of the Turkish barbers
doing the road
and I think I've discussed this on a podcast before,
so I'll just do it real brief.
He was watching Newcastle versus Man United
on his phone
and Man United scored past Newcastle
and he celebrated
and then fucked up my haircut.
And it was like,
Ronaldo scored
and he went fucking nuts in the middle of cutting my hair. Yes! And I was like, Ronaldo scored, and he went fucking nuts.
In the middle of cutting my hair,
like, yes!
And I was like,
oh, fuck, was that against Newcastle?
And then he was like,
it was the fucking highest side.
It just starts,
it just starts going CR7
into the side of your fucking head.
Have that, you little fucking prick.
So I was having a bad day,
and then he just drilled it home.
Do you want some red in your hair?
Oh, no, no, no, please.
I was changing it when I was a kid.
It's all fucking red, mate.
Aye, fucking.
So he basically,
I got butchered
one year and then I just started getting Natalie's Matt
a date and then I had a good one in Edinburgh
and I was like, I cannot have me local hairdressers
be, I've been here for two years and I haven't found a good
local, right, in Edinburgh and I'm like,
right, I'm going to get back
to where that woman did me hair
the one that was shut on a weekend
which is madness by the way
if you run a fucking business
Well as Creed was telling me
If you run any business
it's different shut on a Saturday
Creed was telling me
Creed said specifically
the reason he doesn't go out
on Friday nights
is because he opens
earlier on a Saturday
because Saturdays are the busiest days
for a hairdresser
Aye
So I fucking
I got into the shop right
and there's the woman
who cut me hair last time
started eating a pack of crisps on the hairdresser chair
right and then there was a customer
and I'll describe him right
he was maybe 23 years old
wearing a hat, bit of bum fluff
like a generic red t-shirt on baggy
hiding that he was like a bit chubby and that right
if I could sum up the guy
it would be his mother knocks on his door
and he's like where's all the cups?
He was sat waiting for his haircut.
And where was his mum just asked her?
She dropped him off.
She'd be like, stay here.
If they finish your hair in under 20 minutes, you stay there and you read one of the fucking magazines.
Okay, yes, mum.
Can I have my switch?
No, you can't have your switch because you know what you did at school last week but he was about 23 right right he's about 20 he's
like he's the early early 20s i'm gonna say early and then i didn't i didn't know the situation when
i come in because i was like i didn't know what to sit doing because he's waiting for one and she's
eating a pack of crisps so she's not cutting hair right now even though she's got a customer in but
she might be just like two seconds young and starving i'll wash my hands and then do your hair
so i went in i was just like uh he's up and for a I'm fucking starving. I'll wash my hands and then do your hair. So I went in and I was just like,
are you up for a haircut?
And she's like, yeah, yeah, grab a seat.
And I grabbed a seat, right?
So in my head, fucking, she works there.
I've had my hair cut off her before.
It's just this random fucking dude sat there
waiting for his haircut.
I went for his ball.
When I sat doing,
he stood up and gave us a really bad haircut.
This isn't it
this is the salvaged
this is what she
salvaged
right
but
he was like
what are you having
and I was like
looking for his
earpiece
I was like
alright
I'm on impractical
jokers
I'm so glad
there's a UK
version
well
a third UK
version
and I was like
right
I've just profiled
the man
like I didn't think
he was a hairdresser
just because he's
fucking sat looking
like a pun
alright
oh no Wayne
you say profiled
is it
and you're
allowed to say yes
here
is it because
you look like
a straight man
I mean you know
on closer inspection
he did have
nail varnish on
oh okay
black nail varnish
oh goth
huh
unsure because he was wearing red and a baseball cap.
But like obviously I didn't spot that when he was sat down. Maybe I would have just seen his
nails and gone, nah, I'll have it off him please. He's gonna do a belted dub.
Man, I know this is a very old school opinion, right? But Turkish men, Kurdish men, gay men, women.
That's who's allowed to cut hair.
Hey, if you're a straight man and you want to cut hair,
cool, good dream.
Man, you've got fucking so much to go
before you get into the league of those fucking people.
If there's a straight man cutting your hair,
you're like, this better be your building
aye
this better
you better come from
a long line
of male fucking hairdressers
and they've passed
the scissor down
from generation
to fucking generation
it's a matter of pride
just one of your
leftover bits of fucking
bigotry
oh you know what
no no no
in fact I can already
tell that's wrong
I've actually had some
really fucking decent
haircuts from hipster places
you know the ones that
like give you beer or whiskey aye aye no I'm already wrong continue no you're wrong but it's
like that thing that's in your head like a bit of bigotry like i bet you have a fucking male
mid-wave coming you'd be like what what are you doing all right all right fucker what's up
um so again number four back and sides
and then you know
when you just get the amount
on top
and you can just
I didn't just
three inches off
you're gonna have to go
right under my scalp
again
right
I just did this like
about there
right
and
he
he whizzed around
with the clippers
right
and then
turned them off
and put them doing
once
I don't care how good
your fucking clippers are you're not getting it no one once. I don't care how good your fucking clippers are.
Aye.
You're not getting it in a one-eye.
Yeah.
I don't care how good your,
like,
you fucking just rush right through,
right?
And then you spray something wet
and just gives us a basic,
like,
fucking thingy off the top,
right?
And then it doesn't do anything
in the way of,
like,
blending it in from top to bottom
and then does,
like,
a little bit of shaving
on the back to finish up
and then give us the mirror
and just, like, anybody who gets a haircut, no to finish up and then give us the mirror and just like
anybody who gets a haircut
no matter how bad it is
you're like
oh brilliant mate
aye cheers
feel a lot lighter
oh thank god for that
it was good
right
I did that dance right
and then he was like
he was like 13 quid
and I
and nah
I had a shit haircut
because
I didn't go and
I wore the top
and make it 15
aye I fucking I fucking I cooted the fucking pun coins out of his haircut because I didn't go and I wore the top and make it 15. Aye.
I fucking couldn't.
You fucking kind of
the penny.
I couldn't do the fucking
pun coins out of his hand
because I was like,
I was like,
that took seven seconds
and I haven't had
a proper look at it yet
but I nah,
I'm upset.
I nah,
I'm going straight
to me mother-in-law's
and getting it sorted.
Yeah,
I know I'm going to walk in
and Natalie's going to go,
who did that to you?
You take me back and you find me those bullies who got you on the way home from school go who did that to you? You take me back
and you find me those bullies
who got you on the way home from school
the ones that pinned you down
and shaved you
I'll tell you what I look like
because I look like
we saw in the fucking mirror
when I was driving the car
right
I just fucking had a look
in the rear view
and I look like
you know when
the putt butt
has his eye out
in South Park
and they didn't want to
take him to the doctor
because he'd get in trouble
so they patched loads of furtive
to make them look like a dog
and make them go
into the vets
and he's like
woof
woof
woof
so I'm driving back
from the bar
and I just go
woof
woof
and I'm like
on the front of that
like a punter
just cut me hair
one of the punters
just cut my hair the bells and that imagine imagine youter just cut me hair one of the punters just got up
the bells and that
imagine
imagine you're sitting
waiting for a haircut
right
and somebody comes in
and pushes in front of you
and takes a seat
at the hairdresser
and you went
think you're fucking
day and me
like that
pushing in at the hairdresser
just get up
and fucking 30
and pundit me
do you get
yeah that's for my haircut
love
you're not gonna put that money in the till
nah mate
I don't work here
could you not fucking till
you huge jumping piece of shit
honestly
in my head
I was like
have I just been fucking done by a punter
and eh
I was on the foot
and I was like fucking direct your mouth man if I just gotta go and fix it and that and she was like why foot and I was like
fucking direct your mind
with me
if I just gotta
go and fix it and that
and she was like
why haven't you
gone back in
and I was like
you know what
I'm gonna go back in
because this is like
this is the type
of crippling awkwardness
that stops people
from doing a thing
right
you're like
I'm not going back in
to complain about
my haircut
it's just too awkward
I didn't want to be
in that situation
right
and I always try
to coach myself
into going
that awkwardness
is his not mine
yes
I should never feel
awkward about that
like you know when
somebody owes you money
yeah
why is it you
that feels awkward
when like six weeks

That's the thing
When someone texts you

I'm just passing this place now
and now I'm going
I'm going to find my friends
like you're stalking
I'm going
oh you're the fuck
you're just lying to us
you built an answer
in your house
to the fucking rat
so
I just went
no fuck it
this is on him this
and like
I'm not going to get in with hostility so I just went no fuck it this is on him this and like I'm not going to
get in
with hostility
so I went in
like
this guy's a trainee
right
he's a trainee
he's just starting out
the shop's
not very busy
and she's on a
and she's like
you go ahead
and do that one right
so just get in
just give the guy
a chance to fix your hair
I'm not fucking here
to give you a bad review
I just want to get
solutions to what's going on here and bad review I just want to get solutions
to what's going on here
and I just
I just went in
he was having a smoke
outside
and he spotted us
coming back up
right
and I was just like
oh mate is it alright
if I just get a bit
tidied up
because you've left
like a couple of
long bits on the side
and I was like
I was holding the long bits
on the side
and he was like
where
and I had it in my hand
I was like
I've got it in my hand alright this bit and he's like what's wrong with it and I was like, where? And I had it in my hand. I was like, I've got it in my hand.
All right, this bit.
And he's like, what's wrong with it?
And I was like, so you know when I asked for a four,
that means four millimeters.
I'm saying this not with any stunk.
I'm not saying it with any stunk, right?
But I'm like, when I said four, that like when I said four that's a four millimetre
shave
that's about four centimetres
that's the way it was left
and he was like
alright okay
and then
he sat his dune
and he put the finger
on his again
and he's going
you know that's just
how your hair is
because you made it
that way
and I went
and I don't want
my hair to be like that
so I want you to get
the four millimetre
clippers
and just stop it being like that because I want my hair to be like that. So I want you to get the four millimetre clippers and just stop it being like that.
Because I want my hair to not be like that.
Sorry, doctor, I seem to have this massive tumour in my brain.
That's just your brain, isn't it?
That's just, oh, so nothing you can do.
Oh, there's things we can do.
But that is just the way your brain is.
So he was just confused at what i was asking right and and then i was just saying
so there's a few i just get the four millimeter clippers and just run it through the the back
and the sides in a and watch all right and he did it and loads came off like way more than just a
clump of poplar because that's the bit i can see in the mirror right but obviously run the back and
the sides yeah he's just fucking went run like that so there's fucking so much coming off on the floor
right and i was just like that's all the stuff i was on about i wasn't being delusional you can
see that too right that's and uh and he was saying he was feeling a bit embarrassed about it now
that right there he was trying to fucking stay he was like i just don a bit embarrassed about it that a lot right he was trying to fucking stay
he was like
I just don't want to
go too high
because like
it'll just be
and I was like
ah yeah sure
just fucking get
that a lot
and he finished it off
and he blended it in
a little bit right
and then
dusted his dune
and just went
is that a bit better
and I was like
you've just done one side
like surely you can see that
the other one's a different
but you only held this side
I
like the way I'm talking now
I wasn't adding that stank onto it
but I was saying the words
well you've only done one side
and this bit's still got
and I'm like grabbing the bits
from that side
and he was like
oh
and I was like
is your
is your boss in
thinking
the last that he was sat with and he was like oh no he's on holiday and I was like like, is your boss in? Thinking the last
that he was sat with
and he was like,
oh no,
he's on holiday
and I was like,
where's the last,
because that was the thing
that he was saying as well,
he was going,
oh,
it's your hair,
I can't do much with that,
it's just your hair
and he repeated that a few times
and one thing I did retort with
was like,
this isn't my first haircut,
you know,
I'm knocking on 40,
I've had my hair cut before
and I know how it can look
when it's finished.
I'm not the delusional one, yeah. And I went, I've had my hair cut before and I know how it can look when it's finished. I'm not the delusional one.
And I went,
I've had my hair cut off here before.
Can I get it here please?
Come on.
Help!
Help!
I'm being murdered!
And she came back through
and she was like,
oh, come on to my station and she had to
take it right down
to fix it
because he probably
fucked it
so this is the
shortest my hair
has ever been
just so it could
not look patchy
because he had
committed a murder
and I was
still had sympathy
for him
and I was just
like oh is he
just training up
and she just
was like
she was so
gritted teeth
she was like
fully qualified
and I was like what so's so gritted teeth. She's like, fully qualified.
And I was like, what?
So he's like getting paid full for this?
She's like, yes, some mug 20 minutes ago,
give him 13 quid.
You should have seen the fucking grin on his face.
We normally make him charge a fiver because we only give him to the real mental cases,
like homeless people that have got
job interviews coming up which is you know what before you we let them practice on dogs in fact
a couple of months ago we had this other dog come in here right and we and he shaved it way too close
this small little cockapoo got it all the way down and then cover poop sorry
well you're alluding to when the skin to my dog I would be getting the same ball pass
so
I used to think
he probably works there
and she
like you could tell
she was Steven
she was just like
yep it's not my place
I just work here
you could tell
she was fucking livid
that chat
while the gaffer's on hold
I just have to work
beside this lad
that's just
because I even said
at one point
because he wasn't
but he wouldn't take
the clip out of my hair at first because he wasn't but he wouldn't take the clip out of my hair
at first
because he wasn't
having it
that there was
anything he could
do with the situation
it's mad
to look at something
that has length
and have a pair
of scissors
in your hand
and be like
there's nothing
I can do about it
but what do you
think scissors are
when I'm not here
and there's
what are you
using those for
I even said
to him I went
mate it looks like I've done it myself at home
if I had done this
myself at home and I whacked in and said
yeah mate could you help us with this you'd be howling
you'd be howling at the job
I was like yeah man
watch just take the clip I threw
so maybe I didn't have a bit of sass on it
but like that's his
awkwardness
like it's
it's not
that's not
that's not something
I should feel bad about
but it is one of
them things as well
where I was saying
Natalie
I would hate
to have been
I would hate
to have been
spotted or seen
doing that
like we were at
the Stag and Thistle
the other day
and a couple of people
that work there
listen to the podcast
and they come and like,
so I was trying to turn on the heater,
but the heaters were broken and brought with blankets and all that.
And they were just like dead nice
and fucking come and chat to a little bit
when they finished their shift.
And it was class.
And I'm just like, I'm so glad this happened in here
and not in the cafe way.
And earlier where I complained my latte was too cold
and made it as a new one that was hotter.
Because you know what? My latte was cold cold and made this make this a new one that was hot I would because you know what my latte was cold
in that place
but imagine it was
a podcast fan
and they're like
oh there's Muggins
yeah
oh he's the easy going
one on the podcast
Daniel gets angry
Cream gets angry
at a lot of random shit
he's got a lot of
inner rage inside of him
but Muggins just seems
very chill
hold on
he sent his latte back
the cunt from Archington
I sent my latte back
but it was a bit cold
I just went to this place
and I was like
you know when you
because it was a nice big mug
but you know
when you take your drink
and you go
if I want to have this
I've just got to have
all of it now
and I didn't want to
down my latte
I'd rather just have a hot one
that's going to last us a little bit
so I even agonised over that
I was like humming and hawing
and then when they come out
Natalie just asked them
We went to a Korean barbecue
when we were in New York
and we'd never been to a Korean barbecue before
we'd just been like
recommended it by people
and if you've never been to one
oh my god they're great
they're so good
man there's just like this hot plate
and basically
you order meat
and they cook it in front of you.
But we didn't know any of this, right?
We just went to a Korean barbecue.
So they've got this list of all this food.
It's me, the entire family and Marlena.
And we're like,
everyone in this restaurant is Korean, right?
So we're like, great one.
Like clearly this is the place.
Like we're the only white people in here
we're gonna get back
to get some real
fucking good food
and the
waitress
really
useless
but
so nice
the entire time
like
coming up and
that's a really
difficult one isn't it
oh but
she just
we clearly didn't know
what a Korean barbecue was
you could just tell
by the fact that we were
the only white people in there
and we were like
how does this work
she's like yeah
you just order
and we're like
okay
can we have some of this meat
and she's like
that meat
and we're like
yeah
she's like
okay
and we're like
but it says stick
she's like
yeah it's stick
and I'm like
okay then
if you say so
ding ding ding ding ding ding
what's that bell mean
what's that bell for
and then I'm like
can we get some vegetables
just because
other people
that eat vegetables
and she's like
for you or for everyone
I'm like
for everyone
she's like
okay
I'm like
what am I doing
I'm like
do we order for everyone or for the table or individually she's like for everyone at the table I'm like what what am i doing i'm like do we order for everyone over the table or
individually she's like forever on the table i'm like and at no point did she take the time to go
hey this is how it works we recommend when people normally come in they order four bits of meat
they order five bits of vegetable you can order more when you just want when you want more because
you're there for two hours you can be there for two hours and it's like essentially all you can eat
you can just order it as it fucking comes
but within that two hour thing
none of that was explained to us
so I'm getting slightly annoyed
by the fact that
you know we're visibly getting confused
by what to do
and she's not explaining the thing
but had the patience of a saint
was not miserable while we were fucking up
we just sat there
and she's like it's okay
take your time
and I'm like but it wouldn't take take your time. And I'm like,
but it wouldn't take this long
if you just told us what to do.
But she's sitting there.
Could you be mean so we can complain?
Yeah.
She's just sitting there like.
You're making this really difficult for me
to be upset with the service right now.
Caelan's just there jabbering on
and she's like,
what a cute baby.
Such a cute baby.
And she's getting the other waiters over
and be like,
and they're all going to you.
And I'm like,
you are all so nice,
but can you please explain to us what this is like what's happening and then obviously i still tipped heavily because
it was it was unbelievably good food and when it eventually comes out they cook it in front of you
it's yeah natalie had a bad one down when she was down in london so they booked this table and like
they were just ordering cocktails waiting for their friends to turn up and the friends turned
up they ordered the food and all that right right? And just as the food arrived,
they just started talking into it.
They wait, I come along going,
okay, we're going to need your table
so as to kind of box up your food and move you on.
And Natalie was like, sorry, what?
She was like,
because she'd just spent about 70 quid or whatever.
She's got a bottle of wine,
she's ordered her food
and she's like,
you didn't pay 70 quid for a takeaway.
You spent 70 quid for a dining experience.
And if you're taking the table from underneath us,
that's the fucking experience that I'm paying for is gone.
Right.
And they're like,
oh,
we can sit this over on the windowsill over there.
And there's like six of them.
And it's like clearly for just couples or individuals having some food.
Right.
So they're just like in a long line.
And Natalie was fucking furious that they're just being shifted from the table.
And she's,
she's trying to say to the manager, like the food's just arrived. Not the manager, the waiter. Food's just arrived. And they're just being shifted from their table and she's uh she's trying to say to the
manager like the food's just arrived not the manager the waiter food's just arrived and they're
like yeah but we're gonna have to move on because somebody's got that table booked and um she went
kind of speak to the manager and while she was waiting for the manager she went down to the
toilet and then just went into the email confirmation booking right just to double
check something and time had just got away from them and it was fucking half past seven
and they booked the table at six
and they had in writing
that they had to be off the table
six to seven
for 7.30
and Natalie was like
I cannot go back up
and she's like
composing herself
just go back up
when the manager comes to the table
who she's just demanded to see
just go
yeah yeah box up
our food will be gone this was our fault I didn't realize how long we're drinking cocktails waiting for our friends
we haven't seen each other while we're catching up time got away and she's just trying to like
unpick the complaint that she's absolutely you turning on right and then uh when she got back
upstairs they'd like give them another free bottle of wine they took the service charge off their
bill and they'd done all this because uh kat had went oh we're not that bothered but my friend downstairs is really angry and then she's like
oh well let's get this sorted then before she gets back up
and literally just like give them a bunch of shit so that they could move and get the table free
took the service charge off give them a free bottle of wine and then landed another free
bottle of wine on the table before they left
and Natalie was just there going,
I was in the wrong.
She starts walking back to the table and they all start going
da da da da
da da da
Isn't that shit
that like, the more of a cunt
you are, the more stuff you get?
Yeah, yeah. Like the worse of a
cunt you are, the more successful a service you're going to get. People being like, I don't want to end the worst of a cunt you are the more successful
service you're going to get
I don't want to end up dealing with a cunt like this so I'll just give them whatever the fuck they want
