Hello listeners of Sloss and Humphries on the Road, that's this podcast.
Thank you for tuning in to another episode of us just talking about fucking inane shit that goes on in our lives.
You know, not one of those podcasts where you're like, I'm going to learn something today.
More just, I'm going to find out what these two people who, for whatever reason,
I've decided to invest my time in getting to know and following the work of over the years.
Let's see what they're rambling about.
I'm ill in this episode,
but then the coffee kicks in,
so I don't think, you know, we talk about it,
but I think outside of that,
you probably wouldn't have noticed.
And, I mean, I'm going to be honest with you,
I can't remember what the fuck we talked about,
but I remember it was funny,
and I remember laughing at it,
and at the end of the day,
isn't that what this is all about?
Enjoy. They said it can't be done. Are we in the same seats? That's hack. Oh, muggles.
Accidental rim job in the park.
Kiss, kiss, kiss.
Or am I just being cynical?
Just muggled it up on fucking Mugglepedia.
Where have you been since 9-11?
This is why we need trade unions, mate.
I've got you coming in on a sick day here.
I thought you were hungover as fuck.
No.
Why would I?
What was I doing last night?
I don't know. I was looking forward To the story
I was like
We knocked on you
At the time we said we would
And we had to ring you to bed
And then you dragged yourself
To the front door
Looking like that
And I was like
This has got to be
Built of this
Oh
Yeah
Remember the sniffles
That I had in Croatia
Aye
Aye this is still them
Aye
Looks like hair fever
Aye
It's gone It's it's it's gone
more towards behind the nose right now like one thing i've noticed in the past couple of days
car has been dismissing me way more because she's assuming i'm high when i'm not actually high
you can't really tell when you're high. Aye, but one of the notable things is occasionally
my voice does go a little bit lower.
Aye, your eyes go a little bit redder.
Monotonous.
So there's just like earlier on in the day,
I will now display those symptoms
and Cara will be more dismissive in the sense of,
ah, that was really interesting.
I'm like, no, no, I'm still here.
I'm engaging with you.
Not well.
Acknowledge me.
I promise, yeah.
I'm also doting about our son. It just sounds monotonous because there's some bugs living behind my nose. dwi'n dal yma, dwi'n ymgysylltu â chi. Nid yn dda, gynhyrchu'n i. Rwy'n ymrwymiol, ie, rwy'n hefyd yn
ymddygiadu am ein mab. Mae'n swnio'n monotonaidd oherwydd mae rhai bach yn byw ymlaen
o fy mhyn, rwy'n sori. Mae'n swamio i fy mhroed ac mae'n ffocio'n fflenu.
Fe fyddai'n ffitio'n ffitio, mae'n dechrau droi i ffwrdd a phethau hynny ac fe fyddai'n
dechrau cael firus zombi ac mae hi'n dweud, ah, mae'r ffaith honno, mae'n ddwy.
Oedd hynny'n ysgol? Ie, rwy'n meddwl y gallaf ddeall, rydych chi'n bod yn dweud, rwy'n deall, rwy'n deall, rwy'n deall, rwy'n deall, rwy'n deall, rwy'n deall, rwy'n deall, rwy'n deall, rwy'n deall, rwy'n deall, rwy'n deall, rwy'n deall, rwy'n deall, rwy'n deall, rwy'n deall, rwy'n deall, rwy'n deall, rwy'n deall, rwy'n deall, rwy'n deall, rwy'n deall, rwy'n deall, rwy'n deall, rwy'n deall, rwy'n deall, rwy Was that the edible wizard? Yeah I mean I can understand You'd be like I probably didn't need to hear that
That was probably just some whimsy
First me being like no
No I've just got
I mean
And here's the thing
I don't even feel that
Bad
But
Apparently I look
You look like shit
How was your
Wednesday night party
That you had?
Because
I mean it was literally
Just me and Caelan
I thought Craig Hill was coming
Oh that was Wednesday, sorry
I don't know what day it is today
You do have that about you
Sorry, the Wednesday
party with Craig Hill was very good fun
It was just
me, Craig Gareth
and Cara because
Laura, Gareth's missus was also ill and is also due to give birth within the next two months.
Heavily pregnant.
Aye.
So, like, it's one of those times when it gets into the last, I don't know.
I think it's like the last three weeks is when it's like.
I don't remember, mister, like a trimester, but closer.
I'm trying to think of a word. What would be closer if it was in French? Soissant. I was trying a trimester, but closer. I'm trying to think of a, of a word that's
close.
I was trying not like French
on their try.
I'm having a bad one here.
It's a good job.
We've got a producer here.
I tried to pick a bigger number than try,
which just means three
quads.
Huh?
Quads.
Quadmester.
I was trying to get on higher I quite always
I think that is French
It is French
But it's not the right French
But also
Try isn't French
Try
Quad
I think that comes from French
No it comes from Latin
So what would be the
What would be the fifth
If you can
So if you can
By
Try
Quad
I reckon it would be
Cinque
Quint
Cinque
Quint
It is
It's definitely
It's definitely married to the
French language like I'm thinking we will do this one I think eventually you'll get the soissons
fuck that anyway just towards the end well yeah so she's just at the point where now like any
any sneeze could be a baby so it was just a few of us having drinks, and that was fine. And then just gradually since then,
every day,
it's getting worse.
Yesterday,
Cara went out for a
fucking
work stag do,
or whatever they're called.
Work stag do?
Yeah, you know,
when they go out for work.
Where a job majors with another company?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's a big send-off for them.
Well, she goes,
I mean, she was very excited,
and they were all very excited
to see her
because she's not been at work
for fucking
you know
10 months
because she's been a bad kid
so it's just me and Caelan
and look
I know
that I'm a good dad
and I know
that Cara thinks
I'm a good dad
but that doesn't
you know
I could be the best dad
in the world
but she's still
but it's just me and Caelan
in her head
I think
and maybe this is me projecting
I'm like
she thinks I'm going to have
a fucking rough time here
at bedtime
she knows I've got the rest
of the day sorted
because
I can cook for him
I can feed him
we go on walks together
we fucking play
she's definitely worried
about how much rougher
I am with him
when she's not there
so she thinks the door's
going to go and click
and you're going to be like bam bam, bam, bam, bam.
Bam, just playing whack-a-mole with his face.
Well, yeah, yeah.
One more whack-a-mole.
She doesn't know, but she doesn't like how rough I am with him in front of her,
which means behind her back.
I'm obviously doing worse.
And to alleviate all of her fears, I am.
I'm throwing him around the place and we're wrestling.
I'm learning the durability
of my own child
it's an important thing
the way men must
learn
but
and man
we can watch TV together
I can bath him
I can change him
I can deal with his
you know
he doesn't have tantrums
but whenever he does
I'm fine with him
sleep time
I don't have tits
I don't have tits
like at that moment
just because of the peloton
he doesn't need
he doesn't need milk to sleep
it's literally
just a soothing thing
it's a fucking
one hand on base
he's like
this is my fucking
go to
you didn't
you didn't
did you
didn't have to
turns out
did you put a nipple
in your 10 month
boy's mouth
didn't have to
turns out this cat
the second his mum
leaves the door
he's like
alright well
fair enough
I guess it's just
you and me then
I guess I'll just be sound none of that shit's gonna work on you i can only manipulate that bend yeah we were in bed
together i'd given him his bath right and we were in bed and he sort of cried for a bit wandered
around looking for his mum for a bit and i was like buddy she's not here and he was like she's
not coming back okay then well i guess i was out to get milk yeah maybe that is why he maybe that
is why he slept with me
He thought I was sad
Because she wasn't coming back
You know what he was
Maybe he's saying
He made it be
She's left
This is
Look this is going to hit me hard
But fucking
He pangs after her
He's fucked
He's crying
He's trying to suck my tits
You're trying
You're trying to get milk
Out to kill him
To pacify him
Maybe
He does what I do with you
And pretends to be asleep because I'm bored.
Oh,
you think you invented that trick,
do you?
We did that with a comedian one time.
Maybe we both were
in Adelaide.
Oh, God!
We went out on a bit of an
excursion overnight.
We couldn't get a word in edgeways.
And we're both pretending we're dead high
and fell asleep on the couch.
And I was like, I wasn't even tired.
I was like, listen to that fucking chap at yours.
Oh, God.
And he went like, I'm laying down.
So both of us tried to have a fucking good time.
Just lay there on the couches, both wide awake.
Happier with our own thoughts
than being a hostage in that situation.
It was so excruciating.
He was such a serial fucking compulsive liar.
Their lives were outrageous.
And they just got worse and more unbelievable.
And we'd change halfway through.
You'd change city in the middle of a story.
Aye.
And think that we wouldn't notice.
One time he was telling us about this said truck deal
that him and his friends were
doing back
in the
fucking
80s
it was in
Melbourne
or something
wasn't it
and then it
ended up in
the garden
of unearthly
delights
and we
looked at
each other
and we
were like
that's in
fucking
Adelaide
you can't
get from
the Melbourne
CBD
Adelaide
in that
short period
of time
and none
of it
fucking
added up
but he
also had
like
there's a he had like there's a
he had like
liars delight
you know when people
you know somebody's lying
and you can see
and they're fucking
beating little lies
but they're enjoying
getting away with the lie
and they enjoy getting
to tell the story
it was very much
that
because we
you know
this guy was offering us
like basically
a free place to stay
down like on the beach
he's like
you know my friends
have a friend
own this fucking beach house
we can all stay there
and we're like great
and then like 45 minutes
after being in the car together
we were like
oh
this is
what have we done
a multi-level marketing
fucking scheme
we can't get back
aye
we can't get back
we're at the Mercy
he's driving
and it's his crib
do you want to know
let's just sleep through it
or
oh we did
he also had weed
and this is
Australia's very hard
to get fucking weed in
because
this was back in like
2013
14 something
yeah
we didn't really know anyone
I don't know anyone
we just got stoned
you and me
were having fun
being high
in a supermarket
until he came and took it
way too seriously
and was like you guys are too high.
You guys are acting high.
You're like, high?
That's because I'm high.
I'm high, isn't it?
That means I'm not even acting high.
If I was acting high, that would mean I'm sober.
So which one am I?
You're accusing me of being sober
if you think I'm acting high.
I'm not, but don't get me wrong,
I am acting high in the sense that
I have been looking at muffins for 12 minutes. I'll give you that. Like, I am acting high in the sense that I have been looking at muffins for 12 minutes
I'll give you that
like I definitely look high
in that sense
but do I look high
because I'm hiding
behind a bunch of mannequins
being like
the headless people
have trapped me
and I don't know
how to get out of this
part of the supermarket
or am I just going to
munchies you dumb cunt
like what
I'm method acting
in my
so we finally get back
to his
have the worst time
of our life
will not mention his name
because I don't think
he's a real comedian
I think he's painfully
unfunny
and also it means
I can't tell the
following story
which is
years and years
and years after that
another comedian
who we know well
kicked his fucking head
in
oh yeah
I heard about that
and I was like
I didn't even need nah the story I didn't even need nah what happened like kicked his fucking head in. Oh yeah, I heard about that and I was like,
I didn't even need none of the story.
I didn't even need
none of what happened.
Like,
he could have been in the right
but I deserved it.
Yeah.
That was back payment.
Oh man,
like the stories went around
and they were like,
by the way,
did you know that so-and-so
kicked the shit out of so-and-so
and I was like,
fuck off,
there's no way that's true,
I need to hear this story.
And he was like,
yeah.
And they were out
at an establishment together
and they were saying things towards each other.
One of them didn't take it as well as the other one,
called him out of sight and went, sure thing,
and then just punched him a lot up against a car.
Yes.
I had a fucking, it was again Adelaide Festival,
it was a different one though,
where everyone had put their bags in the same spot.
It's just the artist bar, right?
But it's Adelaide, so the artist bar's outdoors.
There's like a stage where there's maybe a band on or whatever.
And everyone's just chilling,
but everyone's chucking their bags in the same spot.
And me and Egan, we'll get our bags and we'll fuck off.
We'll go into Rhino Rooms or something.
I've ended up in the middle of Melbourne somehow, haven't I?
With Hi-Fi.
And he fucking storms in and starts shouting
on that
with lefties bag
and I was like
for what
and I wasn't
at the fucking
cloakroom
collecting raffle tickets
you cunt
like
you're a grown ass man
look after your own bag
like
like
I'm not
like
there's a fucking
about 20 bags there
I'm not gonna
fucking get everyone's
and take them with us
to ride no rooms
on the off chance
someone's gonna
chase us up
being a cunt
and I was like
in three like I can't remember the last time anybody's fucking shouted us
as an adult without getting broken up with or punched or both
i do agree like it's one of those uh i don't know i don't think i've
i don't know i mean i've definitely shouted
but I don't think I've shouted like at
another
human being
not without being willing to
fight them
like it's a
I think like
man to man raising your voice is the equivalent
of slapping on the face with a glove
it's like you've fucking made a jewel i don't like like i guess like me and eras were voices to each other
it's never going to come to blows but we know each other's boundaries but i don't think we
shout at each other though no just our other music it's in the middle of the nightclub
well i've had it before where people around have thought that it's going to come to that.
But I've never felt like it's been close.
But just in that situation, though, like fucking shouting at a bloke,
I think that's just a start in a fight.
That's the first punch.
I don't even think I'm mad.
Do you shout in your relationship?
No.
Not even over the music?
yeah I always take the smoking area
and have a firm word in it
yeah
I don't think I've shouted at Natalie
I can't imagine
I've never shouted at Natalie
it's such a
it's such a weak
way to get what you want.
It's such a fucked up way of viewing the world
to just like an internal level of,
if I'm the loudest, then I must be right.
That's basically, whether you think that's what you think
is what your subconscious thinks,
because that's how you act,
which is if I just shout and piss and moan
I'll get it that way
because that's
you know
that's how I get things
and don't get me wrong
I mean
and some of the times
that works
because a lot of times
people shout
and people are like
just get the cunt
what he fucking wants
like stop him shouting
I think if I was really
upset with someone
I think I'd get quieter
yeah I'd just
I'd get quiet
and I'd choose my words and I'd fucking consciously try and keep my heart rate doing I think I'd get quieter yeah I'd just I'd get quiet and I'd choose my words
and I'd fucking
consciously try
and keep my heart rate
doing
I think it's like
a loss of control
to start fucking
shut up man
have you ever read
the
Red Sun
by Mark Miller
yes
graphic novel
if Superman
landed in Russia
yeah
so the whole
storyline is
if that happened
there's a side story in it which is about the Green Lantern
and he gets captured by the Vietnamese,
during the Vietnamese War, obviously,
and he's locked away for like three years.
But the reason he's the only person that survived the camp
is because in his head, while they were torturing him
and while they were trying to break him,
he was just imagining building his own torture camp
where he could torture everyone who was currently torturing him.
And he built it so meticulously in his mind
that if it took four hours to dig trenches in real life,
mentally, he did four hours in his head.
If he needed to sleep, he mentally slept, all this stuff.
So for like 18 years of torture...
Why is this so like you?
Man, this is what? what's in your red hoodie anytime somebody fucking wrongs me like the alcohol silent i've just been like i wonder what
i wonder what would be the most effective way to hurt you for the longest because obviously people
just and i'll never do these things, the therapy
is, the doing it
is me going, well I'm obviously not going to hurt you directly
first of all because
you know, I need you to experience
pain, that's what I'm trying to share
with you here
it's what me and Carla spoke about in one of the podcasts
I think Law Abiding Citizen
is one of those movies
Is that not the one where he takes revenge too far
until he's the bad guy?
Does he?
Does he?
Is there not collateral damage?
Does he take it too far?
Do innocent people not die?
And he's like...
Well, do they?
Does he not blow up a car
and there's fucking somebody else that wasn't involved
gets fucking caught up in that?
It's been a while since I watched it,
but I just remember there being like...
And that's what I thought was great about the film
because you're fucking so rooting for him all the way through it
but there's a point where you're like oh he's
the villain now like yeah but innocent people
die in non-justice so I guess they also
have to die in justice you know
that's the argument they'd use so that one was for
God yeah absolutely that was
for the balance of the universe and now
that person's loved ones have got their own and it
goes on and on and on until
that was a good film
I think I do that in my head because obviously
there's nothing, I'm not a violent person
in any way so my brain just goes
let's just mentally flex this out
and then during that time the person's like you're really calm
and it's like man it's because I
sorry the reason I'm calm is because I just beheaded your
whole family right there
the stuff I just did to the
corpse of your gran is fucking
horrific
you can take as long
as you want to serve me
all you'd like
because I have done
some heinous shit
to you
in the past hour
I've only been standing
here for a half an hour
feel free to take longer
I'm having the time
of my fucking life
you know when babies
or kids
or toddlers
make pretend
to have a kitchen
and they've got
the ala car kitchen
and all that
are you like that
but with revenge
and just serve it cold.
But you're not really,
you're just pretending.
Well, because the thing is,
I can never actually do these things.
I can never actually carry these things out.
But,
here's the thing,
I understand I wouldn't,
I wouldn't have the capability
to actually carry out these
evil acts myself.
But,
would I be able to
describe those acts to someone
and then pay them to do it?
Probably.
Morally, could I deal with that?
Have you ever come close of paying for someone to get battered?
No, I don't think I've ever come close.
Have I fantasised about it regularly?
All the time.
It's my number one go-to.
Because I know people who I'm just like,
I reckon if I were to give you a grand,
you'd find somebody who was willing to just find yeah of course of course when i if somebody cuts me off
in the middle of the road i'm like just just remember just remember the fucking license plate
work out where the fuck he lives and then just pay someone to go to that man and not kill him
but just really beat him up, really beat him up.
And then in his ears whisper, don't cut people off
and then leave into the distance.
But then I obviously don't do that because one,
otherwise people are going to be beating the shit out of me
every day for cutting random people off.
But man, I would be lying if I didn't think about
the thought of paying someone to beat someone up
at least 25 times a day.
Yeah, you'd be such a villain in a Black Mirror episode.
Oh, God, yeah.
You know, if there was just like a button you had that you could electrocute people
and they didn't know what was happening or how it was happening,
but you were doing it.
And you would fucking be just zapping people all of the time.
People just trying to live their life, not even realising they're doing right.
They'd be like, what the hell?
Well, they didn't can't see me GP.
Man,
I regularly,
like,
I understand.
When I say I have to talk myself out of this thing,
I don't have to put up much of a fight.
It's an easy thing to talk myself out of.
But I regularly have to talk myself out of sending people death threats.
Aye.
Yeah,
absolutely.
Man,
when I finished watching.
How would you send it?
Like,
would you do, like in the like would you do
like
tweezers and glue
with bits of magazine
in that
I mean
you'd have to
because I mean
if you want to talk about
how I've actually
really thought about it
I think the
the most insane way
to do it
because I was telling
Elliot Steele about this
I was like
here's my really awful
dark illogical fantasies
where I'm just angry
at the world
and I just want to stew in my own head
and do my own perverted version of justice.
It's just, there's somebody who we both hate.
All I wanted to do,
and I thought about this for weeks on end,
was just to get a phone, right?
And everyone's got his number, we all know who he is.
And just get a bunch of different phones
with a bunch of different SIM cards,
and just every day I'd go for a two-hour walk with my son,
and in the middle of that walk,
while he was asleep in the forest,
I'd put the lock on his chair,
I'd walk about 25 feet away from him,
I'd take my rucksack off,
and I'd get 25 phones out with 25 different SIM cards,
and I would just text this guy,
I fucking hate you, you're a piece of shit,
you're awful at stand-up comedy
and nobody likes you.
Send,
snap,
throw away,
take a new phone out,
you're a fucking piece of shit
and if I ever see you
leave the fucking house
to do stand-up comedy
and just do that,
just snap those phones,
throw them away.
Different numbers.
Different numbers,
just three things
that's coming from a bunch of people.
Nah,
you wouldn't know
that was coming from one person.
But even,
but no,
no,
no,
no,
no,
but even, but even then. I thought that was going to be person. No, no, no, but even then.
I thought that was going to be way more sinister
when you took your baby into the woods.
I thought you were filming his hard drive.
No, no, he's just, he gets relaxed in the woods.
You just get to sit on a rock.
Everyone just thinks you've been walking your child.
That's where that came into it.
Yeah, but Elliot also at that point just,
he was like, man, I don't think they triangulate things
and I just
like I think if you speak
to any woman
who've actually been sent
death threats before
the police don't do
anything
they never do
but the thing is
I never
again
you never actually
do these things
you do the fantasies
of these
in your fucking head
just so you can get
the minor feeling
of like I've done it
and then be like
oh but then this would happen
and now that I think about it of course I wouldn't do that it's like I feel like you can get the minor feeling of like, I've done it, and then be like, oh, but then this would happen. And now that I think about it, of course I wouldn't do that.
It's like, I feel like you burn off the rage
and then the morals of it seep to the top of being like,
but obviously you're not going to do that
because that person was actually an innocent bystander in the thing.
You know, of all the fights I've been in,
I made a count a while back on my phone, right, in the notes of how many fights I'd been in, and it was in the 30s,
and I reckon since then I've maybe had another six or seven.
So I might be knocking on to 40 fights.
None of them have been in cold blood.
If I've been instigated in the moment and ended in the moment,
I don't think I've ever went out and fucking got someone.
I nearly did. I had one where I was at my mum and dad's house. moment and ended in the moment i don't think i've ever like went out and fucking got someone i nearly
did i had one where um i was at my mom's dad's house i'd been i'd been moved out but i was there
right and my sister had been living with a friend right and that was her first house when she was
about 19 or something and her friend's boyfriend and mates practically just moved into the place
and were like living there as like these fucking squatters just fucking teenage lads just gotten
empty and my sister didn't like living there felt like a stranger on her own home come back my mom yn byw yno roedd fel swyddi hynny yn ffocon ysgwadau dim ond ffocon dynion hynny dim ond cael eu llenwi a fy mab ddim yn hoffi byw yno roedd yn teimlo fel
ffodd anodd ar ei gartref yn dod yn ôl i fy mam a'i dad ddim yn gweld eu llawr
ac yna fel wythnosau yn ôl a'u llawr wedi'u rhannu ac maen nhw'n ceisio
gael fy mab i'n llawr am llawr ond roedd hi'n ffocon i ffocon nawr i ddiwedd y dydd
mae hi wedi symud oherwydd ei bod wedi cael ei ddynu oherwydd mae hi'n cael ei ddynu oherwydd ei bod wedi cael ei ddynu
a'r ffocon lad yn cyffwrdd â'i ffôn a'i ffrindad yn cyffwrdd â'i ffôn
a dechreuodd siarad â fy mab yn y gair yna mae hi'n gwybod ei fod yn llawr mae hi'n rhaid i mi ddynu ei llawr ac roeddwn i'n dweud gwnewch fy ngwneud rwy'n dweud rwy'n a mate's lad rang the hoose phone and started speaking to me dad guy in there just do you know who's our rent
just got to pay our rent
and I was like
put me on
I was like
I've got our rent
and he was like
well come and give us
it if it's new
I went I'm on my way mate
I fucking knocked on Rouge
and I just went
I'll wait to chin some cunt
and fucking pulled up
the hoose
Rouge
I need red money
Rouge
Rouge
how much you got
how much you got man
crack open the piggy banks
right I got
I got the one at Gav's room
turning up to these guys
trying to
how much was it
he has next month
he has a down payment
on next month
and going back
and going
fucking hell
I'll be bothering you
next month
if I tell you
that's the boys
dealt with father.
Don't you worry.
Anyway,
we need to move guys.
Don't ask any questions,
but we need to move house.
At least change the landline.
I just fucking went
and tell them the money
was in my pocket.
I was like,
if you want the rent,
it's in my fucking back pocket.
Help yourself.
And I was like, do you want it or not? come and get it if you want it, just fucking let it
go.
But like that would have been probably the closest, even though I was still fucking pumped
from being on the phone to him to get to his house, that would have been the closest I'd
been to like actually fucking going after someone.
I think the closest I've ever done is I've angrily followed another car for like two minutes and then be like, what's the, what's the end goal here, Daniel?
What is, what are you, what are you actually going to do to that 45 year old woman?
Yeah, all right, yeah.
Can you remember the conclusion to the Benidorm acid spiking where we found the guy who spiked us with acid and me and Barry went up up and asked him about it and practically got like oh you admitted it you've got to admit it but like while this was
happening like a couple of the doorman and that were floating around and he was clearly connected
and we realized that we were absolutely out of our depth with this situation and we're attacked
while we were just going well you shouldn't do that that was really mean yeah Yeah. Let this be a lesson to you. Don't spike people again.
Does this door lock from the outside?
How does this,
or the handle goes the other way?
Thank you so much.
So me and Barry like stumbled up
and he was just some dude on a night out
and then realised that he was actually quite connected
and then whacked away
and Barry just went,
well, we send him home with a flea in his ear.
Very funny.
Anyway, should we batter someone?
Just for the crack.
Can we just briefly talk about... I know I don't say...
I know I say I don't watch the news much.
And one day, you know, I want to get better.
I want to be more engaged in the world, I guess,
just to know what's going on.
Donald Trump selling NFTs.
You haven't watched it for a while.
Ah, shit, is this a new thing?
Yeah.
Donald Trump selling NFTs is the funniest thing
in the entire world.
And I can't believe that it's happened.
And it's this weird moment.
They're not even NFTs
I think they're just trading cards
like you just pay them and get this
it's $100 for like this
little trading card. Digital trading card
again very important to point out there
digital trading cards of him dressed up as
Superman firing lasers out of his eyes
this was like he had a big announcement
to make and everyone all of his fans
were hoping that he
was going to announce that he's running for president because his fans obviously don't
want it to be DeSantis and DeSantis's fans don't want it to be him for the republican primary but
then also people don't want him to run because if he runs as an independent he'll split the
republican vote which would be ideal um so and all of it and there was and all of his cue and
non-believing fans are just consistently waiting for him to announce something
where he's finally fucking taken down the pedophile ring.
But what's been happening since he's not been president is...
Has he started...
Like baseball cards.
Top Trumps.
Top Trumps.
Did he even realise that?
No.
Did he even realise he was doing Trump cards?
No.
He didn't even play on that it was trump cards?
Nope, nope.
He just...
Oh, but like...
No, no, but...
I've got so much to say about this.
So, first of all,
remind me about the video he put out with it.
So, he's a grifter.
Look, he's been a fucking grifter
since he was 21 years old, right?
And now America is really good
at harbouring grifters, right?
It's a nation that started...
Define grifter.
Grifting is, it's the American version of fucking freedom.
If you're so stupid that I can get your fucking money off you,
then welcome to the greatest country in the world.
Well, if I can convince you that this thing I'm holding here
is so important that you give me all your fucking money,
then I'm just a good salesman
and welcome to fucking the freedom of capitalism right
grifting
that's what
it's what
90% of Joe Rogan
guests
are grifters
it's your Stephen Crudders
it's your Alex Jones
it's your
I'm just going to get famous
and then I'm going to
peddle this fucking stuff
off the back
the liver king
is a grifter
all these
so many of the right wing
faces you see
grifter
yeah okay
I get it
they're all grifters
it's just hey
I'm going to become famous what about the guy who boxes everyone the Paul brothers Jake Paul he's see grifter yeah okay I get it they're all grifters it's just hey I'm going to become
famous
what about the guy
who boxes everyone
the Paul brothers
Jake Paul he's a
grifter
Logan Paul
yeah it's all
it's all grifting
yeah it's all
get to a level of
fame
get to a level
where there's a
mass amount of
people that trust
me and then
sell those
fucking idiots
whatever the fuck
I can sell them
for as long as
fucking possible
because that's how
I'm going to get
my money
and again
this has been every business in America and it's what the founding principles of of what
started uh all of the people that went to that country and helped it be shaped into what it is
fucking now um now Trump's version is selling photos online that aren't even they are NFTs
they do have blockchain he's's calling them cryptos.
He's grifted his way
to the present in the next stage of the world.
He's the greatest grifter that ever
lived. And for so many of us on the
outside, when it was so very obvious
a grifter, you just had this man who lied and lied
and lied and lied. And you felt insane
because people were like,
no, he's telling the truth. And you're like, do I live
in a different
reality like his is is is truth just this arbitrary thing that we've all made up and for four years we
all don't fucking live like that and then now all of those assholes are going he's he's selling us
what all the people that believe them like man it's the most angry it's the most back i've ever
seen from has he has he lost a lot of the following off that because i don like man it's the most angry it's the most right back I've ever seen from the people has he lost a lot of
the following off that
because that's
I don't know
it's hard to say
that's so funny if
that's the thing that
lost everybody
well man
they've all sold out
what
they've all sold out
ah there we go
no but what do you
mean sold out
yeah
unlimited
yeah yeah
aye
it's sold out in the
sense that you know
you go okay
aye ladies and gentlemen I'm performing in this venue and we've just released the tickets for the what do you know you go okay hi ladies and gentlemen i'm performing in
this venue and we've just released the tickets for the what do you mean you just released you
weren't selling the whole venue to start with no no we weren't i didn't i didn't mean to sound like
an old man here but i don't want to lose a piece of an art and a power cut mate oh no it's that'll
be there in the blog man it was so funny It's so funny because we all agreed six months ago
that NFTs were a scam.
Like that kind of,
like the NFT thing was like a year ago.
And then about six months ago was this,
everyone went,
it died out almost instantly
as everyone went,
all right, we all made our money.
That was the first MLM scam
at a crypto fucking lever.
Every time there's a new level of something,
there's always new scammers that will go into that thing and they make a killing off the front bit of it because
this is when it's all new and that's what happened this new thing came along scammers were like let's
do this scam nfts existed they disappeared we all agreed that nfts were a scam nobody's buying them
anymore and then donald trump like fucking slowpoke is just like Donald Trump
NFTs
I have had an original idea
yeah
this is
and not even
not even to fund his campaign
not even to
not
hey
this is so I can become president
and do the right thing again
it's like hey
just
oh it's so good to watch
how much was an NFT going for Matthew?
99 bucks wasn't it?
yeah 99 dollars but you could buy like buying them you entered into sweepstakes Oh, it's so good to watch. How much was an NFT going for, Matthew? 99 bucks, wasn't it? Yeah, $99.
But you could buy, like, buying them,
you entered into sweepstakes to get some rewards.
You could have dinner with him.
You could watch him eat a well-done steak.
Oh, nice.
Yeah.
You could watch him eat it.
Yeah, yeah.
You could go play golf with him.
Yeah, you could get a Zoom call with him as well.
Did he specifically say,
watch me eat an overdone steak? Well, no, but Watch me eat overdone steak No you can have dinner with him
But it's a known fact
That he eats well done steak
With ketchup
Spend a memorable evening in Miami
For an exclusive dinner hosted by Donald
Yeah
And just bring you and any of your 15 year old friends
Oh my god
it's like
it's amazing
people are still
hanging on to them
like
does anybody still
support Conor McGregor
millions
because I loved
I mean
it was no fucking
like
secret
that we were dragged along
by that fucking hype train
and I loved it.
This guy was coming along,
he was talking a good game,
he was kicking fuck with the people
and I was there for all of it
and like as people
that had been in the UFC
before he come along,
it was really fucking good
watching him just bring
more people into the sport.
All of a sudden,
I can talk to more people
about UFC
instead of being underground
and then he just started
being an absolute prick
and me and you were just like,
oh, and Cody was just like,
oh, you got us?
Now I look like a mug?
You dragged me along and now I'm here?
Like a fucking super fan
and you're an absolute fucking prize bellend?
And now I'm scared to be a fan of anyone again?
I'm about to be fair,
maybe that is the lesson.
Aye.
Aye. That's that, I really fucking love that opening line from George Carlin. anyone again I'm going to be fair maybe that is the lesson aye aye
that's that em
I really fucking
loved that
opening line
from George Carlin
when he was like
fuck Tiger Woods
and while I'm here
fuck Lance Armstrong
and at the time
they were
beyond reproach
and then one of them
cheated on his wife
the other one
done blood doping
and cheated and all that
right but it was
before that
and he was just like
don't tell me who to love
I'll decide who I love
and it was just like you can apply that to so love I'll decide who I love and it was just like
you can apply that
to so many fucking
people who are just
hyped up and sensationalised
and then they turn out
to be fucking bellends
and you're like
I just thought
it was fucking mint
that during the hype
he was just like
nah fuck them
I'll choose my role models
I don't think
I just think
there's so many people
like the event I think so many trump
supporters still are just people that already belong to different cults and cult mentalities
and it's kind of just like you know like a water bead going down a car window absorbing all those
other things i think it's just like and then that's the friendship group when they've never
had friends before yeah so like even if they even if they do feel like what they're doing is wrong they kind of disassociate from this group because that's
where they belong and the phone belonging in a place that's got absolutely fucking no logic
i hope he runs for president again i hope he doesn't get the if he if he doesn't get the
republican nomination it would be the best thing because by the way that's the only way biden's
winning the only way biden's winning the next election is if
Donald Trump doesn't get nominated
as the Republican.
Biden's approvals are
rocketing. They're really high right now.
His plans
to legalise weed and all that are
genuinely...
But Matthew, the man is dead.
I know, but the amount of under 30s
voting for him is swinging it really hard
is it
aye
I die
I just
it's that now you're
younger than those two
who there at all
in all of America
America has to appeal
for someone
someone where
able to run
fuck off
that's not nearly dead
is that too big to ask
I can pick up
what you're saying
we need a YouTuber
you want a YouTuber in?
Yeah.
Can't be worse.
What about Ninja?
Get Ninja in?
Oh, sorry.
I said Ninja the YouTuber.
So I was like, why the fuck are we doing
early 2010s no-fielding comedy here?
Get a Ninja in and a unicorn.
Get a samurai to just surf a rainbow.
And then something about owls
It always ends up
Back to owls
When they've been random
To the point that
It's not random anymore
Is Ninja still streaming
Yeah
He had a deal with
Like Mixer
And then they
Went
They just disappeared
So I think he just
Did switch
He's been around a while now
Has he not been like
Outreactioned by the younger generation
Because that seems to happen
With like I think he's like Fallen off a bit Like But I think he's still He made milk in a while now has he not been outreactioned by the younger generation because that seems to happen with
I think he's
fallen off a bit
but I think he's still
he made
yeah yeah
he made
he got trained
yeah
I mean
realistically
I know people think
they want
like a fucking
you know
legacy
I want to do this job
whatever their job
in the arts
or their entertainment is
I want to be there
for fucking 60 years
uh uh
come in burn brightly get out come in do what he did come in whatever their job in the arts or their entertainment is. I want to be there for fucking 60 years. Uh-uh.
Come in,
burn brightly,
get out.
Come in,
do what he did.
Come in,
be at the top of the game for five years,
earn 150 fucking million,
be kind of known for another 10 years after that,
and then nothingness.
Fucking,
can we call it the Lauryn Hill?
She was in the Fugees,
totally smashed it, released one of the fucking best albums of all time, Miss Education of Lauryn Hill she was in the Fugees totally smashed it released one of the
fucking best albums
of all time
Miss Education
of Lauryn Hill
and I was just like
ta-ra
how's that
I think so
that was literally
one of the best
albums ever made
I don't think
she's met another one
I haven't really
looked into it
what happened to her
but like
she just burned
Brighton
and seemed to be
very funny
if you're like
and she just I think she just raised her children she just left the industry and seemed to be very funny if you're like and she just
I think she just
raised her children
she just left
the industry
out of her own accord
and then you google it
and it's like
nine more albums
yeah yeah
her family were
brutally murdered
after the release
of her first album
and she spent
six years
Lauren Hill
I should have
looked into that
before I fucking
waded in with her
but I felt like her career was just
I know what, she ends up like Dynamo
She's just like fat and talentless now
Out to her, she's fucking done her career
She gave her product to the world
And then just decided to get fat and talentless
Just class, loads of money
Yeah, I mean there's like no YouTube videos or anything from her
That have come out past like 2010
No, she's still alive, aye?
Yeah, looks like it
Fucking Just peak man, just instead of dying at 27 and immortalising Come out past like 2010. No, she's still alive, eh? Yeah, looks like her. Oh, there you go.
Fucking.
I think she.
Just peak, man.
Just, you know, instead of dying at 27 and immortalising,
just fucking just tap out.
Just get to 27, man.
I didn't want to die, but I do want to be remembered as class.
Ninja got an amazing deal as well, though, because he was on Twitch, was really popular,
and then Mixer, owned by Microsoft,
paid him like 10 million dollars
to swap to their platform exclusively
and then like three months in
Mixer closed down.
Because they're broke? They just spent all their money on somebody
who plays computer games? Yeah because they're trying to do some merger with like
Facebook Live or some shit but
that hasn't come through so he got 10 million
dollars to stream there for three months and then
the contract's broken so
he's got 10 mil for free.
I only know Mixer
because that's where
Gavin Webster did his comedy results.
Remember that?
That was class.
Did you ever listen to it?
He'd done like a phone-in show,
like almost like talk sport
where he went live
at like fucking midnight
on a Saturday
and comedians were just ringing in
and talking about their gigs
from all over the country.
And it was just this
fucking radio station
where Dave Longley
used to ring in and lie.
Dave Longley would ring in and go,
I'm locked in the toilets at Birmingham Jonglers
because I was just having a shite
and fucking Johnny Awesome started nicking on with the sound tech
and now they're shagging
and I can't leave the toilet.
And that was just being like a feature
that Dave Longley just fucking phoned him in and bullshitting.
In that way, it's just being like a feature.
Dave Longley, just fucking phone him in and bullshit him.
Dave Longley must purely exist just for, I think, me and 50 other comedians.
You know what I kind of believe?
I kind of believe when I track back to his pages and his following isn't massive.
His following should have everybody that's been a bait on that hook should have at least tracked
back and followed him and gone right you got us
right you got us a fucking
bit. Now I'm yours.
And his following should be like
70,000 fish that he
caught that are now in on the joke
but people are so proud of getting done
that they didn't then
follow up to see what he does next.
I also think that it's a very specific type of comedy,
which is, why are you being mean?
Because being mean's fun.
Oh, there's nothing deeper to that, is there?
Uh-uh.
I just sometimes think being mean's fun.
But if we reduce it to this, yeah, but you can reduce it to that.
I'm in a silly mood and I want to be mean.
Aye, but I'm not really being mean.
Yeah, not really.
There's a layer to it.
Yeah, it's only mean if you take it seriously.
Like, hey, you're the ones that are taking me seriously.
You can ignore me.
I'm here to be ignored.
Bye.
I'm annoying and in your face.
It's very, very brotherly banter.
Aye, I think we need to start releasing videos again,
but just for the sole reason of getting Dave Longley to troll our fans again.
Aye.
That was beautiful for everyone that was involved.
Are you going to get him on the pod at some point?
We'll have had him on a couple of times.
I think he'd be much better in person.
The next time he's up and in.
But I think we tried it via Zoom and shit.
Yeah, we did.
During lockdown, we had one where we were just caught phoned in. the next time he's up in Edinburgh I think we tried it via Zoom and shit yeah we did during lockdown
we had one where
we were just caught
like phoned in
like we were even
on Zoom with each other
we weren't in the same room
so it was a bit clunky
but I also had him
when I was punch drunk
I had him and
Rich Wilson both on
when they were on the bill
we did it from a caravan
and it was fucking class
but aye
we should
like keep an eye
on the stand
listen to us
ask him when he's up
in Edinburgh
and get him in
I wonder
what Trump's
going to sell
next
I mean I
really can't
think of it
what's the
next move
off anyone
that's waited
in
the only
thing you
could literally
do is
genuinely
come out
next time
oh I
need to
take a
look at
the fucking
video
the only
thing he
could do
is literally
come out
and be like
hi my name's Donald Trump and I'm here to do you have the fucking video. The only thing he could do was literally come out and be like,
hi, my name's Donald Trump, and I'm here to,
do you have back pains?
Do you have knee pains?
Big dick pills.
I know.
Well, why not try this Trump snake oil?
It's a good ointment for any part of your body.
It goes in tea.
It goes in coffee.
It goes in marijuana spliffs.
This snake oil goes, and I guarantee he would still get a hundred thousand sales people being like i'm like look did you try steaks they were delicious
they came cooked well done this is i gotta try this
in the video for selling his fucking nfts firing laser beams because by the way, when he fucking
released this video
of the NFT, it's him as
Superman with laser beams coming out of his
eyes in front of the White House and the laser
beams, that's the thing, he's selling it for $100
to people, claiming that this is
fucking artwork, and while selling
this, he's like, it's me
Donald Trump, your favourite
president, I hope, should be better than lincoln
better than jfk and i'm like oh i get it i get i get six years ago when people were like but guys
look i know he's evil but this is funny i get it now like if this is now that he's trolling the
other side now he's not owning libs anymore
I'm like
oh
now that it's
making you
look like stupid
idiots
and it's winding
you guys up
you're right
I am on board
he's mugging off
stupid people
yeah
and you're totally
on board with that
so please subscribe
to our Patreon
and go to
spreadsheet.co.uk
forward slash
muggins and cream
and buy our hoodies
with your face on.
I mean, man, I reckon if we were to sell NFTs,
we'd make about 500 quid,
but we'd make 500 quid.
And it would be off Sid and Rooney.
Just trying to support.
Just trying to make us feel good
about our quest to be relevant.
I don't see this as a quest for relevance.
I see this as a quest for relevance.
I see this as a documentation of my mental health over the years.
I see this as like when one of us dies,
we can just enjoy listening back to old episodes.
Yeah.
This is my diary.
This is for when my memory starts to fade.
Yeah, yeah.
And I can look back and... Thanks for funding it.
It's a public service.
This is basically an argument tool
that my children are going to use in the future
to win arguments with me.
By being like, Dad, can I do this?
And I'll be like, no, but you said...
And they'll play it back to me and I'm like, ah, well...
But have you listened to all of the other contradictions?
Keep listening.
You haven't gotten to the bit where we're...
Have you not learned that
we mean Kai
the only message
of the entire podcast
was that
you can't trust
a word your father
or your uncle Kai say
that you can trust
our honour
and our merit
as far as you can
fucking throw it
and now that we're 50
it's not far by the way
because we
leaned into obesity
at 45
because again
do you know why
because we're hypocrites
hungry hungry hypocrites
I know I have a podcast title
opinions change with the wind
in whichever way
they're facing
we're passionate about them
yeah yeah
and we convince people
to our thing
and then they all join us
and we're like
god there sure are a bunch
of losers on this side
and I
I could argue with me
till
from 2018
until I was red in the face
because
me from 2018 kicked shit was red in the face because me from 2018
kicked shit out
it was not bleeding
changed
I argue with myself
24 hours a day
right up here baby
an ongoing war
it's like the arm wrestle meme
I've finished my Christmas shopping
oh no actually I haven't
That was a lie
Honestly I'm just still arguing with myself
From earlier
From seven seconds again
No because I'm going to Newcastle
So I've done all my Christmas shopping
For when I go to Newcastle
And I ended up
On the perfect deal with my wife
Of how to do things
She did all the shopping
Oh yeah And I did all the rapping and i am like
we both felt like we won natalie enjoyed her part of the job and fucking i don't know why right but
i fucking find rapping presence just mindful like i can just lose me selling rapping presence which
is weird because i don't imagine that you wrap presents well.
Man, get this.
Everybody thinks Natalie wraps a present.
Everybody.
And it's something that I kind of just let happen.
She sometimes corrects them.
But she always gets the credit for wrapping the presents
because I'm fucking meticulous for wrapping presents.
I don't buy it.
You don't buy it?
I'm not. I just don't
don't get me
no no no
because I get it man
like you're
you're patient
and I think
patient is
and again
that's where the
patience comes from
and you know
I've been on
factory lines
for a lot of my life
but I
but fucking
but like
it requires having
like a good eye
and you've got two and neither of them are good like it requires having like a good eye and you've got two
and neither of them are good
like it requires
like you know
I don't know if it does
I reckon I could
I reckon you'd be good at
oh mate I reckon I could
fucking rap blindfolded mate
I reckon I could feel me way around it
it may not be on the right way out
you may get the
you may get the checked side of the
rapping paper
I see a check did you wrap your own presents?
I didn't get me to sell anything.
Did she also buy the presents for you and herself?
Oh, no.
I've got her presents and she's got me presents.
I thought she was being extra sound,
which is just like she went out and be like,
oh, by the way, I also spent 200 quid on myself.
Thank you for my Christmas presents.
Here they are, wrap them and give them to me tomorrow,
which would be the...
I watched Natalie's mom open a present once from Natalie's dad.
And that was how Natalie's dad discovered that he'd given it to her.
I mean, that is all dads.
And then he was like, was that one off me?
He was like, Natalie, was that one off he was like was that one off me
oh you were
I was like
yeah yeah
that was off you dad
now I'm fucking
I'd happily
like wrap
all the presents
and not have to buy
a single one
makes me love language
I enjoy
I enjoy wrapping presents
are you good at it
yeah
I mean enough
like I'm not
like if if somebody was like
if somebody went can you wrap these presents and i went absolutely and they went will you do a good
job that's when i'd say no i'm like oh sorry i thought i was doing you a favor not with standards
i thought you know do you want me to the squares in the back do you want me to actually use them
then i'm not fucking interested.
I'm not fucking,
unless I'm drawing a D&D map,
I'm not using any of those.
I'm fucking doing it by eye.
And by the way,
and I'm not cutting,
da-da-da-da-da,
I'm cutting an inch in and I'm hoping for the glide.
And if shit tears,
shit fucking tears.
Yeah, mate,
I fucking,
I fold it with a crease,
get my nail across it,
back fold it,
get my nail across it,
get in with a knife
and it's in a fucking maculate edge. And if the edge isn't a maculate, when I do that bit, I fold it with a crease, get my nail across it, backfold it, get my nail across it, get in with a knife, and it's in a fucking maculate edge.
And if the edge isn't a maculate, when I do that bit,
I fold it in so that the line's nice and neat.
Right.
You also do the same when you fucking fold people's skin leather.
You murder them.
That's not going to happen either, man.
Fuck it.
That's care.
That's care.
You fucking think you're wrapping someone a fucking plate of chips?
Plate.
Plate.
You might as well chuck the present at them?
Man, I would if that wasn't seen as rude.
Like, I can't, man.
Man, I would love nothing more.
Christmas Day, my dad comes, he finally approaches my mum.
Oh, Christmas time.
And they just punted an unwrapped gift in my direction.
What a great day.
I can't, you know.
I like people that feel a little bit uncomfortable
about ripping the wrapping open.
Why?
Because they feel like they're damaging a piece of art.
Oh, there's a personality trait that I could never marry.
What's that? People that save could never marry. What's that?
People that save the wrapping paper.
Nobody does that.
Oh, they absolutely fucking do.
Keeps the paper.
Keeps the paper.
And now people keep cards.
I'm not making this up.
Have you experienced this in your time on this earth?
I've not seen it.
I've never seen anyone keep the fucking...
Man, there are people 100...
They keep the condom then.
They keep the fucking... Man, there are people 100... They keep the condom, them. They keep the blob.
It's like...
I think it is, I think it generally...
They're the ones keeping the wrapping paper.
The card with the sentiments on.
No, no, I'm talking,
and the way they open the presents is
they take it off via this fucking cell tape
and they have it so that...
I mean, I think it's an older generational thing.
What, they're like fucking steaming it above the kettle
and fucking undying it like... Name what he's doing, man. I'm telling you generational thing. What, they're like fucking steaming it above the kettle and fucking undying it?
Nobody's doing that.
I'm telling you, man.
You're making people up.
There are fucking people out there.
There are people out there that save the fucking wrapping paper.
What, they use again?
Man, this is like...
To send off on, like, sentimentals?
Yes.
No, no.
And also because they're hoarders.
I think there's many reasons.
I'm not saying there's one type of person that saves.
I'm telling you, there are multiple people
with multiple reasons for saving wrapping paper. And I'm not saying there's one type of person that saves. I'm telling you there are multiple people with multiple reasons for saving rapid paper.
And I'm telling you every single one of them belongs in jail.
It's like people who iron bedsheets.
You're like, right.
Ah, yeah, we'll chat with them.
You just exist to make the rest of us fucking look bad, right?
And it's pathetic what you're doing.
So either stop it or we'll hang you
in public
because
there's
I don't care how much time
you've got in the day
read a book
go watch Netflix
binge
if you are ironing
fucking bed sheets
that means what
you've platinum'd
every single computer game
that ever existed
that's where you're at
you've read every book
there's nothing else to do
you've watched
every episode
of the news you've read every book. There's nothing else to do. You've watched every episode of the news.
You've finished every jigsaw.
I still don't believe people...
Somebody tip-wixed through the Valentine's card once
and passed it on.
I've told you that before, haven't I?
So this is the thing where I'm...
I don't want to go too hard in on the people that do
because I'm like,
I bet there are good reasons for saving the wrapping paper,
which is like,
hey,
I'm a mother of four
and my kids have to go to 90 birthday parties a fucking year.
So the reason I save wrapping paper
is so that I can reuse it.
Is that why you scrunch it when you make presents in LA?
I'm like,
fucking poor,
fucking poor fucking
fucking
it's not
rocket tonic
I bet
I bet there are
those very valid
reasons of like
it's a money
saving thing
and it's like
nobody's doing it
when you're making
it up
I'm not
because it
definitely
my fuck
it wasn't
someone in our
family
that did it
because our
grandparents made
us
and this sounds
so ungrateful
and it probably
is but our grandparents were the ones that were like um and make sure you take down the notes of
everyone who got you christmas presents and what they gave you and write them thank you notes and
i'm like give them the present back give them the fucking give him give his chores man
i give you the gift of chores Nah
It's fucking Christmas
And I know this is such a daughter thing
But it is
Fuck off
No
Don't
It's not the day of writing fucking thank you notes
You know what's
You know what's sometimes nice
You know when you
Like I'm going to have a wedding
And you're like
Doing your like
Your John Lewis gift card
Or your fucking present or whatever
On the pile
And then you get the message
about six weeks later
when they're getting around
to going through all the presents
and thanking everybody.
It is a peace of mind
where you go,
oh, it reached them.
Yeah.
It didn't just end up on a pile
that didn't get back to the house.
Yeah, no, I get it.
There's a bit of that.
But I would never expect that message.
No, and I also think
it would be really, really nice
if I sent somebody a fucking gift.
Oh, no, that's not true.
I'm pretending to be someone else.
Man, I would be fucking annoyed.
Man, I would be so fucking pissed off.
See if I sent somebody a gift, right?
And I was like, I finally remember it's somebody's birthday, right?
And I finally sent them a fucking birthday present.
And then six days later, I'm just at home.
Doorbell rings.
God, take my headphones off.
Caelan's fucking asleep.
He's just been woken up.
I'm doing dishes.
I'm like, oh, a card.
It's not my birthday.
It's not.
I panic.
I'm like, is it Cara's birthday?
Have I forgotten my fucking own person's birthday?
Open it up.
Dude, Daniel, thanks for the coffee machine from Kai.
What the fuck was this?
What the fuck?
Why did you just waste that fucking postman's day?
What the fuck? You can't fucking text me, you piece of shit. What the fuck have you just what the fuck why did you just waste that fucking postman's day what the fuck you can't fucking
text me you piece of shit
what the fuck
you made me fucking
leave the dishes
to come read a fucking
what an entire waste
from start to finish
well now I've got to
fucking thank you
for the thank you card
oh yeah fuck off
chill out
well I've got to
fucking put that up
so next time you come around
you come through the door
and you're like
where's he put it?
It must be in his room.
You must have it beside the bed.
Imagine fucking 6th of January,
your fucking house is just full of thank you cards
for all the gifts you've bought people.
No, you're not doing that.
No.
No one's doing that.
You're making people laugh.
I'm telling you.
Please, if you are one of the seven people who engages with us via the email,
or if you're one of the many people that Instagrams Kai,
and you are either a wrapping paper saver,
or you can confirm the existence of wrapping paper savers,
do me a favour and be my saviour.
That's my flavour.
What's happening?
I like that.
I'm going to send you a little thank you card for that little rhyme. Thanks for the poem. I needed it. It really uplifted my flavour. What's happening? I like that. What's happening? I'm going to send you a little thank you card for that little rhyme.
Thanks for the poem.
I needed it.
It really uplifted my spirit.
Thanks for stopping, actually.
They made me put this there.
Thank you so much for stopping.
I thought we were going to be there for ages.
Actually, the reason I'm writing this is so you think I'm busy and stop talking to us.
Do you think like
Maybe it's their writing
Should just be more grateful
As people
Certainly
Yes
I certainly think
That one of my biggest
Absolute problems
And I think I could solve
75% of my own personal shit
Was if I did practice
Gratitude more
I certainly think
Yes
Absolutely
But
I don't think
all that gratitude
is meant to be
for other people
right
I think
that gratitude's got to be
you know
for the universe
because
I mean
I think
that's what you're meant to do
you're meant to just put it out there
and be grateful
that you've got this fucking life
and stuff
and then I would be
grateful for the people in my life
who do stuff for me
that I probably do take for granted
but
I mean that gratitude's
not fucking, you know,
shipping to strangers on the bus.
Stop needing gratitude
now, man, everyone, just chill.
Just chill, take stuff because you want to.
Not because you're like, where's me thanks?
Wait, wait, wait.
I did that for a reason, because I wanted to be
thanked.
No such thing as altruism
everyone just wants gratitude
anyway
I mean
this is a long discussion
that you and Milo have had
because
he doesn't believe
that altruism
exists
and the same way
you get these fucking
mind hippies
who say things like
it's all a simulation
even if you don't
no such thing as free will
and it's you know they're good all a simulation. Even if you don't. No such thing as free will. And it's, you know,
they're good debating points. So it could like
thought processes of like, oh,
you know, is this true? But
man altruism, I think in human beings
categorically does fucking
exist. Like me
letting everyone think Natalie wraps the presents.
But then if I just getting rid of that by speaking of
on a podcast. Well, that would be his
argument. That would be his argument that would be his argument his argument
be that it's not altruistic
that you let her take credit for it because you haven't let her
take credit for it but that would be
I would see that as him being
false that would you brought up specifically to get
the gratitude as opposed to we were in discussion
about something the story came up which made
sense and then just happened to
ruin the illusion I think
you know so it's also like you know if
you're doing something nice for like your wife or your friend or your partner that builds that
relationship so then you're getting a benefit from the nice thing you do so like you'd have to like
purposefully do something for somebody that couldn't trace it back to you
to do the thing but like which is fine but like that would like surely
that would still be altruistic
but like what's
why would you
why would you
here's a good definition
of altruism
and people I think
are altruistic
people out there
who have depression
and don't kill themselves
I sound
like that's
that's altruism baby
living
because they're not
doing that for them
that's not for them
they're doing that
for everyone else
around them
it's altruism
but if it was up to them
they'd be off this
fucking planet
I think you've got it
but they're not
get Milo on the phone
we're funded
we're funded
Mark Nelson's altruistic
I'm just telling you
every fucking depressed
person that's still
on this planet
that's altruism baby
I believe that I think that's the that's the message of the podcast alright don't kill yourselves Every fucking depressed person That's still on this planet That's altruism baby I
Believe that
I think that's the
That's the message of the podcast
Aye
Don't kill yourselves
Which is so weird
Because that's very rarely
What I would tell anyone
But this is a Christmas episode
Aye
Speaking of Christmas episodes
Are we gonna be
Keeping the same consistency
Over the Christmas period
Because I'm going away now
This is a bit of admin
I'm going away to. This is a bit of admin.
I'm going away to Newcastle until Christmas Eve.
And if we weren't on for Thursday before Christmas,
it's over to you.
And then I can come in the Gooch,
do a couple in the Gooch way.
Yeah, we need to do it.
I think because we're not doing a you, me, Cara, Natalie Christmas thing anyway,
I think we're doing a Yumi Cara Natalie Gooch
thing anyway
yeah
so we'll
do it then
I can do a
Christmas special
with Cullen
yeah
do you want to
do that with
Cullen
aye
and then
because it's
his last
Christmas as
well
yeah
yeah
yeah
he's not
dying he's
just converting
to Islam
I didn't know I was going to say that I didn't know I was going to say that
I didn't know I was going to say it
I laughed at myself because I heard it here first
Me and Matthew were talking on the way out here
I don't want to put it into the universe
because sometimes things happen when you're there
You know the pub crawl
that we did through lockdown
where we chose a room each
and did the pub crawl.
Why didn't we do that with the cameras
rolling, right? He wants to fucking edit
it into a kind of fucking
feature. We'll have even little talking
head bits where people are going away and talking about how
the party's going. So it's a bit like me and Chelsea.
But how about once your
stag's done, we start putting
money from the podcast
into the budget for the rooms
so that you can gain a bit further
with the production value
of what your room's going to be on the pub crawl?
I mean, let's do the first one first.
So we'll do the first one just as a normal thing.
And if people like it,
we're going to follow it up with a higher budget
because I think it would be a lot of fun
if you had a little bit to spend on your room
and we could fund it with a podcast.
But we'll do the first one just like we normally did
and then see what people think about it.
So you want to do one in the Gooch?
I don't know if we'll film that one, but we'll do it.
No, I think we'll discuss it then and then in the new year we'll do it.
Right.
Right.
All right.
Stuff coming up for you. There you go. Look at it. Right. Right. All right. Stuff coming up for you.
There you go.
Look at that.
We're moving.
Thank you. you
