Hello fuckers, welcome to another episode of Sloss and Humphreys on the Road.
I managed to trick my wife, Cara Sloss, into being a guest on this podcast.
She said she only wants to do half an hour,
and I'm going to straight up tell you, I think we'll get more than that.
You've sent in questions, if you were on the Instagram, if you were on the Patreon,
we give you the chance early in the day to ask some questions for me to ask.
I will be asking a bunch of them.
Sloss and Humphreys on the road.
Muggins and cream, cream and muggins, straight thuggin', livin' the dream.
That's our intro.
Fuckin' muggles.
Tickling the clit inside your head that makes you laugh.
Woohoo!
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?
Also, there's no point where this has to start
We can just
I can literally just ask you
Literally, what was your favourite show
Out of the shows you saw
yesterday and I know you saw 5 and I
know that's going to put you in a difficult position
let's try to do the math of how long
I was I was out for 12 hours
I was out for longer than 12 hours because
I went out
half past 3
you left at half past 3 but me and Cailin
I was in Abattoir
because me and Cailin left I was in Abattoir a half past three because me and
Caelan left
the house
at about
12
30
yes
yeah
um
you
stayed waiting
for your
bridesmaids
slash
my cousins
no
yes
yes
you can
true or false?
If you want to, just to get into this,
if you wouldn't mind,
could you tell the story of why my cousins are your bridesmaid?
Because you threatened me.
I don't remember it this way, but...
It was a threat. I don't even think this way but it was a threat
I don't even think we were together
no
no
it was
before we were official
and
so this is back in
just to give the context
2018 maybe
of the year that you and I
after initially
kissing
and
the
fallout of that being your sister,
my ex-girlfriend,
not being cool with that.
We kept our relationship secret for a year.
It wasn't a relationship.
It was not.
We were just fucking each other whenever we could be arsed,
which was a lot.
which was a lot I just
I have to make sure that this isn't
Chris and Rosie Ramsey that's all this is
I have to make sure that when you
and I do this we do this in our own
individual way because baby
we're never going to sell out Wembley
baby I'm not going to
sell out Wembley Baby I'm not going to say Ella Wembley So during this
Year of us being in secret
It was you
Chatting
I don't know why you were talking about your family
You just like to talk
And
You were saying how
That you and David And Andrew had made this pact.
I don't know if Matthew and Jack were involved in this.
No, so there were the three big boy cousins who were the original.
So I was on my mum's side of the family.
I'm the oldest.
Then there was Andrew, and then there was Josie, and then there was David.
And then obviously Josie passed away and that left us with
the three big boy cousins and then after
Joe
what's the name
Katie Morag
is that the name of the fucking book
you're northern do you know the Katie Morag
books I know what you're talking about
I guarantee if you fucking google them you'll know them
do you know Katie Morag
so they were like
Katie Morag I So they were like...
Yeah, Katie Morag.
Yeah, let me...
I don't know who that is.
I'll show you right now.
You know who's Katie Morag?
No.
So Katie Morag was a children's book that my grandparents had
back when fucking seven books existed.
And it was about this little girl from Scotland called Katie Morag
and she had big boy cousins.
And that's where the term big boy cousins came from.
Right.
So when Ailey was born after Josie passed,
and then Sarah after the fact.
Wait, is Chad the youngest of them?
Yes.
Is he?
Yes.
Very embarrassing.
I looked over to my other brothers to get the answer to the question,
and he went, eh.
Yes, Chad is the youngest. So that's where we got the big boy cousins thing from because
I think even David is
five or six years older
so there was just this
gap between us and
Ailey and Sarah, well Ailey
loved us all, Sarah was
a little piece of shit
but we all loved each other because loved us all. Sarah was a little piece of shit.
But we all loved each other because in something that I'm sure
you've heard. Family.
Do you have anything to say about my family?
Nope.
I'm sure it's been covered several times.
By Cullen. Cullen has very
aggressively covered my
family's love of each other and how unnatural
it is. It's weird.
Huh? Yeah.
So, how did I blackmail you or threaten you?
It wasn't even a threat to me.
It was, you just put it into the air
and was like, you better pick up on this.
You didn't, like, say,
this is what it's got to be.
You just, the fact that you said it, you floated it into there.
My vision board is just saying things out loud to people and hoping they do.
Peace country, peace country.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And it was something along the lines of, oh, me and my cousins, we have this pact that like girl cousins
have to be bridesmaids at our wedding
like we've promised them that they will be
bridesmaids at our wedding and if my future wife
can't get on board with that then she's not going to be my wife
it's like
alright then
yeah
I was going to say you know those
impossible standards you have when you walk into to say you know those impossible standards
you have when you walk into this relationship
you absolutely did not have that with me
except today
but yeah just you know when you think
you want something from this
and it's very important to your relationship
like we'd said to them
since they were young they could be
bridesmaids
and I thought that was dead
I thought that was dead in the fucking water i
thought that was just something he said to kids you know like santa's real yeah like and you know
what you know hey we can't go to mcdonald's next we can't go to mcdonald's today but we'll go next
week and hopefully in the next week the kid forgets that they were getting mcdonald's next
week i thought that was going to happen with Alien Sarah and then fucking Andrew
at his wedding
made both Alien Sarah price base
and I'm like well I'm like well now
I have to
did you mention it to them after that wedding?
no and they didn't mention it
to be fair to Alien Sarah they did not expect to be your
price base at all
you expected it
I did early.
Not expected,
but like with the false sort of eye.
You'll,
my future wife will do this
and my future wife will do this.
It was very ranty.
I would love to drag 27 year old me
into this room
and just get him to tell you all the things he thought
his future partner was going to do
and just watch you
you wouldn't even have to admonish him
I think the look you would give him
would make him enough to be like
this is the saddest I've ever been with an erection
he'd fancy you
of course he would
right now
yeah
yeah
my Christmas jumper
top
the unmatching bottoms
yeah
the
and also just out of curiosity
how many
unwashed hair
out of
what number of
how many
Christmas pyjamas are these
did you say dinner or diarrhoea?
Dinner?
Do you think he just wears diarrhoea stained clothes?
I know I'm a lot of things.
I think you might not notice his diarrhoea,
but if it's that...
How did it go on my arm?
That was going to be my answer.
What did you put a sponge with me on?
I just don't want to...
Because I'm not wearing gloves.
Oh yeah, my nails that aren't painted properly
I don't want to put one of my nails
Through the little wet wipe
So I've got to do it with the oxter
Of me fucking
No wait that's the oxter
And that's just a Scottish word isn't it oxter
Nobody
You don't call it oxter
I don't like that it's gross
You don't like it as a term
But you agree oxstam's a term
Sweaty Oxstam's
Aye
So gross
So because of my
We've gone so far off topic, this is annoying
This is why you're on the podcast baby
Do you remember what this conversation's about?
It's about your French day right?
Yeah
Okay
And all this we've derailed about It's my fault for not having a clue what this conversation's about? It's about your French day, right? Yeah. Okay. And others we've derailed about.
It was my fault for not having a clue what you were talking about.
Look, this is why I'm telling you that you need to be on the podcast regularly, right?
Because Matthew's there working this out.
And whenever Jack's here, he's fucking Googling World of Warcraft or Minecraft or whatever Jack's doing.
I'll occasionally look over at Jack and I'll be like, can you google that? And he's like
who's in the room?
It would be very
good to have you regularly
because when me and Guy drink
in front of you and Natalie
which you also join in drinking but we're very much
doing it as a performance, you will regularly
point out how often we go off track
I know it's Natalie's it's sometimes fascinating to watch mostly infuriating yeah i imagine that's how
everyone who listens to this podcast feels yeah i'm sorry no no no i keep coughing i don't want
to oh we'll just turn it away no you're good hey hey i don't know how loud it is so
that's his job um so because I forced you to have a
Relationship with all of my family
And because
Because you are a
Very sweet and loving person
No they're my friends in their own right
That's what I mean
No they're Daniel's cousins
I didn't say goodbye to my cousins
I went out for a walk with Caitlin I didn't say goodbye to my cousins today I went out for a walk
with Caitlin
and you
I didn't say bye
to your cousins today
I went to my bed
well I kind of did
I just walked past
them up the stairs
and went bye
I'm going to sleep
I didn't see Ailey
though this was only to Sarah
okay fair enough
but yeah
I just went back to my bed
because
because Ailey and Sarah
the only times
I've brought them
to the fringe before
yeah to see you
right
like they hadn't done
anything else
other than see you
no
or the other shows
that like my mum
had booked that day
like they've only ever
come in as like
in the wake of
whatever I've been doing
to be fair
they didn't pick
anything
that we saw
because when I offered it out
nobody knew what they wanted
and we were all very much like
oh it's fine we're happy to do
whatever don't mind so I just went
rogue oh I don't think you went rogue
oh I covered everything
that's not rogue that's tactical
that's smart you did it in a way
but I didn't go off of recommendations
that's rogue for me I didn't go for
oh I know this is like a sure vine
I agree with what you're saying my I know this is like a sure thing.
I agree with what you're saying.
My only stipulation is when the Fringe app opened up, I went rogue.
I was, I would describe.
You had some sort of meltdown.
And pushed buttons.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And booked. you booked four tickets
for shows
not knowing if
anyone would go with you
and then booked
and that's just
taking up seats
it's fine
I've
do me a favour
every four tickets
I've bought
I've felt so far
in fact today
I managed to get five
into those
no there was one you didn't
which one
there was one last
last week
I don't think I've put any forwards.
The theatre one on Thursday.
You went on your own.
Oh, you're right, darling.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, okay, okay, okay.
Yeah, it's for theatre though.
Fuck them.
Can I see that?
I can.
We'll never have them on the podcast.
Though Ruben K will come on next week
and be like
how fucking dare you
I love him
yeah
I've met him once
no
possibly last night
but I don't remember
yeah
well so this was
no
finish your French story
sorry yes
the girls came round
you see how easy it is
it's yours
it's you it's yours. It's you.
It's you.
You love to talk and tell stories.
It's like, oh, I've got one that's just popped into my head.
I have to say it immediately.
Speaking of.
When we're after this.
Okay.
The first time I became fully aware of this,
because look, here's...
Sorry, I'm just getting the camera open
because it's closed
you
you put up with so much of my shit
you'll complain about me
in the same way that I complain about you
which is just very openly
in a very open way to make fun
of each other like we never grab
behind each other's
backs whereas sometimes i don't know if you feel this way in our relationship but sometimes by the
fifth or sixth time you've mentioned a personality trait of mine i'm like oh fuck she loves me and
and she's brought it up at the seventh time and that means the people that don't love me as much as my wife
want to say this thing,
but are waiting for the 50th or 60th opportunity to do so.
Because we trust each other, you'll say it.
And when you were like, and it's never criticism.
You're just like, you were really drunk last night.
And I'll be like, we'll be sitting there and she's like,
whenever you get drunk, you really love last night? And I'll be like, we'll be sitting there and she's like, whenever you get drunk,
you really love talking about comedy.
And if anyone asks you
any questions about comedy,
you'll talk for hours at a time.
We do the Sydney Opera House.
I'm expecting a bunch of drinks afterwards
because it's like a big night.
But we've been in Australia
for two weeks at this point.
We're getting back.
Cale has been out
the entire fucking time.
Everyone's tired.
We get home.
Most people go to bed.
Except for
our dad.
Our father.
That sounds weird.
I specifically phrased it
that way. Our father, Dave.
Our father. Our father.
I love my father, Dave. My father, Dave.
My father-in-law, Dave.
I don't care about the law, I care about the love.
My father-in-love, Dave. I don't care about the law, I care about the love. My father-in-love, Dave.
I love you a little less.
I don't even know what the point of this story is.
What are you talking about?
He stayed up with me that night.
He stayed up for a fucking drink
and he was just like,
because your dad's very interested in comedy.
Why are we talking about my dad?
About how I go off on
tangents.
Aha.
I see. So I think your dad wanted to
stay up. I think
your dad wanted to stay up and talk about comedy
for five minutes. You think he did?
Don't think he got a choice.
I didn't
know this about you. Poor man's walking upstairs
to his bed just like oh do you have a good show
Well Dave
Let me tell you how it all started
I've already poured you a drab
Come join me
You know I don't drink whiskey Daniel
Light a wee candle
I saw you
Hey
Got your jammies on
Your dad's a hot man
I don't want to fuck him But he's good looking You grew up with people Who wanted to fuck your father I saw you. Hey. Got your jammies on? Your dad's a hot man.
I don't want to fuck him, but he's good looking.
You grew up with people wanting to fuck your father.
Doesn't make it right.
That's true.
That's true.
Anyway, despite my tangent, tangent.
I don't even know what we're talking about.
Your French day.
I mean, it feels like a very dragged out story just to say that I was out.
Welcome to the podcast.
The podcast should be called Dragged Out Story.
Let's say that we were out at four and we got home at half past six this morning.
And can I, not to shame you in any way,
but is there any way you could tell the listeners to this podcast how the first attempt of booking your Uber this morning went.
I was very confused this morning
eating my bacon roll
when I received a text message.
This is the bacon roll you're having at home?
Yes, my Starbucks that I had delivered
because that's who I am when I'm hungover.
We had bacon in the fridge,
we had toast in the house.
Oh, we had bread and a toast up at you.
Were you going to cook for me?
Could have done.
I'll carry on, shall I?
I got a text message that said, it was very confusing.
Your parking is about to expire.
I was like, Daniel, where have you been?
Did you use my phone?
I went into message and I had paid for parking at half past five this morning
in the centre of Edinburgh for a car that was parked outside our front door.
£2.65.
Because you were trying to book an Uber.
No.
Yes.
I saw a car that didn't have a parking ticket.
No.
I don't know.
Let's tell the full fucking story here.
No, what happens is I get to a level of drunk
where things just mix together in my head.
So what I can only assume happened was
you, earlier on that day, yesterday, had asked me to pay for parking on my phone.
I couldn't get internet in town.
I was parking the car.
I saw the attendants coming over.
I waved to one of them.
I said, I'm doing it.
I couldn't get any signals.
I had to phone you from, and not even 4G, from like the regular, the bars.
You know, back in the 90s when you phoned from the bars?
I had to do that. Like some sort of slumlord. It felt
like when I was phoning you I had to put the rotary
dial phone in, it was so old
and I went can you please put two
hours on the car? So that's why I was in your head
Yes, so I think that I was
just extending your session
I don't know
At that point
the phone should have been like
alright motherfucker
you've missed
12 hours of payment
well
it was £2.65
from
5.39 this morning
until
1pm this afternoon
oh that's impressive
because you get free parking
on a Sunday
until 1 o'clock
so I paid for free parking.
I love drunk me sometimes.
Sometimes she's...
I think I was telling people,
people, Elliot Steele,
I think I told him we were off to do karaoke
when we were on our way home.
Yeah, because he didn't message...
He said enjoy karaoke.
I was like, why?
Where am I going to karaoke?
Six in the morning.
Maybe we were coming back to go to the bar,
not realising it was six o'clock in the morning.
Or maybe you intended to ruin a poor early shift taxi driver's day
when you were like, I don't care who this Uber driver is.
In my head, it's fucking James
Corden and we're doing karaoke.
It was a fun time.
Aye. And of
the five shows you
saw yesterday,
do you want to tell us all five?
The first one will be your favourite.
It was a hypnotist.
It was silly.
It was cute. It was cute.
It was family friendly.
Was it rapey?
No.
No?
No, it was full of 80s songs.
Okay, okay.
And it just made people do dancing, basically.
And so all the hypnotist stuff was just like,
what was he getting cunts to do?
One guy, every time a certain song came on
picked up pom-poms and was a cheerleader.
Great. One woman
an American woman, she
every time 500
miles came on, she had to strut
up and down the stage.
When he said a word
everyone thought it had a wet willy in their ear.
It was just
stupid, silly stuff
and did you and there's no
wrong answer to this this is
we're in a safe space
you know my bias towards
hypnotists
I went to spite you
I am very aware of that's why you fucking
went I'm also aware of that
that's why you went to theatre
even though I you went to theatre
even though I've gone to theatre
was there any
creepy vibes from the dude
no none
he kind
of reminded us of Craig Hill
do you want to take a photo of him I do
because
here's the reason why I think
hypnotists are creepy
I can name on one finger
how many female
hypnotists I know
and that is
if I count it on a finger
that I've cut off from my fucking hand
in the same way that
there are so few female magicians
it's just very, oh that is very
Craig Hill
bald slightly older there are so few female magicians it's just very oh that is very Craig Hill it is isn't it
bald
slightly older
happy
and then most importantly
pink shirt
and we all know
that's why I bought tickets
he doesn't look
to be fair he doesn't look like one of the creepy
he wasn't at all creepy
what's his name?
Matt Hale.
H-A-L-E.
Would you recommend it as a show to people?
I would, yes.
We were running late for it
because I discovered yesterday
that there are more than one Gilded Blue venue.
Is there?
Yeah.
Potterhouse.
What? Yeah, which is where... It was on Chamber Street. gilded bloom venue is there yeah patterhouse what yeah
which is where
it was on chamber street
where the fuck is chamber street
you do know where chamber street
oh it's the museum
opposite that
but it's the same
yeah yeah yeah
same road
yeah
so there's a gilded bloom venue there
didn't know it
but I'm like
yeah yeah
we're in abattoir
we've only got like
to walk around the corner
five minutes
no we had to walk all the way to chamber street oh because the gilded had to walk all the way to the museum i completely forgot so we had to like sprint down the road
it was the top floor all the way top uh and what was your okay and and then we're like oh my god
the show was meant to start uh sit down no time to go to the bar and then during the show people
kept getting up to go to the bar so i just sat mad that we didn't go to the bar. And then, during the show, people kept getting up to go to the bar. So I just sat mad
that we didn't go to the bar.
Okay.
Not mad that people
were standing up in front of you?
No.
Just the fact that
at no point were they like,
anyone else?
Anyone else?
No,
because I was right at the edge.
I couldn't get out.
But no,
it was dead wholesome.
It was very cute.
That's something I get super involved.
You,
by the way,
from what this man was saying,
you go under hypnosis loads. Do I? Yeah, just when you From what this man was saying You go under hypnosis loads
Do I?
Yeah, just when you zone out
You're in a state of hypnosis
Apparently that's what he's saying
Oh, like when I'm not
Yeah
If you're just like
Sitting on your phone
And you're just like
Oh, what was I doing?
Do you think that's what
What Caelan does?
No, he's just weird
I don't know where he goes
Yeah, our son
Does the thing
And it's not even every
Hour
It's anytime you try to communicate him
It's just randomly
He'll be having the time of his fucking life
And by the way
Before I tell this story
I don't want any
Child psychologist
Diagnosing him
Any doctors
Any fucking parents of any doctors any fucking parents of
kids with any fucking disease
tell us what you think your kid has
I'm sure
that's an interesting or tough thing for you to go through
don't just add your
is that cough?
that's cancer
my mum coughed and she had cancer
and she's dead now
you coughed that's cancer
don't do that with us as parents
he will while having the time of his life just and she's dead now. You coughed that scat. Don't do that with us as parents. He, well,
while having the time of his life,
just...
Did you ever watch That's So Raven as a kid?
Did you just go,
you should have a vision.
That's what he does.
Raven had a vision?
Do you know what I'm talking about?
That's So Raven.
I know of That's a Raven
but it was beyond my Disney time
like I was
I was Saved by the Bell
Keenan and Kel
Cat Dog
Ren and Stimpy sort of generation
and then there was the next generation
which was Icarly
I don't watch that
No, That's a Raven was around that sort of time
That's a Raven was definitely within my thing but it was like like boy meets world was the other end of the way i guarantee
you've never seen boy meets world no boy meets world was like 1998 to 1999 whereas that's so
raven i'm gonna say was 2002 also boy meets world was definitely 1985 Point being
She zones out and has visions
That's what I like to pretend he's doing
See the future
Well he doesn't seem happy about it if he can't
He just seems confused
Because he's only 18 months
Of course he's confused
He doesn't understand
Oh god what's going to happen
So Hypnosis was good Oh God, what's going to happen? Aye.
So, Hypnosis was good.
Next up. Yes, would recommend.
Next up was Michelle Brazier.
Wow.
What a voice.
Why is she doing comedy?
Despite the fact that she's very funny.
But like, why would you have that fucking talent for singing?
Oh, she's so good at singing.
I have to admit, on that show, we were using our hip flasks.
Oh, yeah, good girl.
You took your hip flask to the fringe?
Yeah.
I didn't know this.
I took my hip flask to your show back in 2017.
When we met?
Yeah.
Did you?
That's why we were last in and got put at the front,
because nobody wanted to fucking sit there.
So we had to be like, uh-huh.
Sorry, can you just tell the background of this story because I know
people are interested. Oh my god.
So we hadn't
seen each other since... So we met
2012 and then
hadn't seen you since then. It was my
first experience or
my first year going to the Fringe.
Had no idea what to expect. I was here
for a week and all we knew is that we had to book
shows
and there are 3000 shows to pick from
so it's stressful
deciding what to
pick unless you get recommendations
but of course we didn't know anyone that had really been
so I had found that you were doing
your show
and had said look
and just to clarify it might not be funny I can't remember So I had found that you were doing your show and had said, look...
And just to clarify, just...
It might not be funny, I can't remember.
No, no, that wasn't the question.
Just for our listeners,
were you a fan of me before?
No, if you'd let me finish the sentence,
I was saying that at the very least,
we know Daniel Sloss
as a comedian
so we'll just go to that show
it might be shit
we don't know
it's been five years
since we've seen him
and there's no way
he's gotten better
I didn't know anything
about the venue
I didn't know anything
so you didn't know
how fucking famous I was
no I didn't care
still don't
I think we booked tickets and then I went on your Instagram and famous I was. No, I didn't care. Still don't. I think we booked tickets
and then I went on your Instagram
and I think you were like just under 10,000 followers
or maybe around 10,000 followers at that point.
And I was like, ooh, still don't know it for himself.
And then, yeah, so there was three of us that went.
I think that day we'd done
Silent Disco
Into your show
Into what was Late in Life
And I very much bad mouth you for the Silent Disco
Oh yeah, if we didn't give a fuck I'd do it now
I love the Silent Disco
I'd have to be drunk for it
Which is why we had the hip flasks out
So we'd just get a wee bottle of juice
The other day when I walked to Mothers and Toddlers
With Cailin,
there is this silent disco,
which I remember so much from the time we met.
And it's so big now that they had to break up
into three separate parade groups.
They take about 50 people on them.
Oh, this was 150.
Wow.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But is it all the same company?
Because more than one company do them.
So they all flag
yeah
walking down
they're all singing
their fucking songs
except for one girl
while we're walking down
she just goes
Daniel Sloss
working 925
what a way to make a living
yeah he's right there
dead dead dead dead
yeah
not a biggest fan
dead dead dead and I'm just being like
thank god my son doesn't understand
full English
I love the style of discos
but yes we're just taking the hip flasks for that
got to your show
and people queue
I'm one of the ones that like to wait until the queue's moving
and then I'll get involved
so people are queuing outside your room
at the EICC?
Yes.
And we went to the bar
to just get lemonade
to then pour in our
hip flasks.
You dirty little
So we were able to just walk in.
Fucking chukter.
Didn't think that we were
going to be in the front.
You dirty.
You see, here's the thing
whenever I say that she's cheap and northern
and you all think I'm being racist
no no no no
because yesterday
what we were doing
was buying doubles and then
adding in more
like we still
paid that bar
and we did
that doesn't make it better
we did
shots
like we did our part
okay
don't make me
don't
don't
also by the way
darling
you can get free drinks
at the bar
and you're not
affected
anyway
oh
the kilted balloon
assembly
pleasants
they're all making
underbelly's also
making their
fucking money
they don't
why don't they be cool
irrelevant
this is why you'd be good
on the podcast
what
just shut things down
to be able to get
halfway through a sentence
and be like
oh this is irrelevant
as opposed to going
I'm going to stop the podcast
and make everyone remember
the thing I was saying
well anyway why are we talking about the hip flask?
Because we were talking about the story of how you first came to see me.
No, we were talking about seeing Michelle Brazier.
And we had hip flasks.
And I admitted that we were using hip flasks in her show.
Before, not while she was on.
We just had Diet Cokes and Fanta.
But I was also asking you to get the story Of how we met
So you were late
You were late in the queue
To come and see me
Not even late in the queue
You weren't on stage or anything
They were just
Filtering people in
And we were like
One of the last people
Through
And like
They were like
Oh how many
So we were like
Three
Oh perfect
Bang in the middle
Of the front row
Alright then
I thought that was alright
Except we wanted to be hidden
in the further back so it was darker and we could get the hip flasks out without getting in trouble
and then yeah we were just front and center lights on us i walked out
didn't recognize you instantly no i recognized you I didn't recognise you is this who I picked to see
surely not
fucking hell
Matt Rife's got leukaemia
I thought this was a hypnotist
please make me think this is funny
that's why I laughed
I spoke to you yes This is funny. That's why I laughed.
I spoke to you.
Yes.
Yes.
You'd asked a question in part of your show.
And you used that as an in to be like.
Don't pretend I used it as an in for you. You did because you went to ask my friend.
And then I'm like, oh, hold on a minute.
Are you?
I was like, oh, here we go yeah i am
bitch i didn't know you were you
okay uh to be well i do remember the crystallizing moment because and i know you'll deny this and you
have every right to deny this but you were wearing the most fuck me jeans in the world.
Anyone wondering what those are?
They're just jeans with a rip in the leg.
I had ripped jeans on yesterday.
You know, like sluts wear?
Yeah, and you were gagging for it yesterday.
Vintage you.
I didn't get home till today.
I don't know who you were fucking.
True.
I heard you bumped into Ruben K.
I don't know though, did I? Maybe you cured him. Also bumped I heard you bumped into Ruben K. I don't know though.
Did I?
Maybe you cured him.
I also bumped
into Elliot Steele.
Maybe you cured him.
Of what?
Quick,
Google what horse,
what disease
do horses get?
Mad cow.
Oh God, Oh god I'm too hungover for this No you're not, you're too great
So
Right yeah, Michelle Brazier, fantastic
After that was
Please Love Me
Your kind of show
Please Love Me
What? me your kind of show please love me what what do you mean by that what do you mean by that we're moving on quickly no we're not
it was a theater performance with some pole dancing and that's not my show don't tell people
that's my show please love me
just sing
that's what they sing in it
it's great
it's really catchy
but
something you would enjoy
it would be a bedtime song
I should get them back in track
for like
your shows
anyway very good and then from there we went to now I should get them back in track for like your shows.
Anyway, very good.
And then from there we went to... Now, it was meant to be a bandaman.
And it was cancelled.
And why was it cancelled?
Because of lightning.
Is what we were led to believe.
But no, it turns out he's not feeling well, which is very sad.
Yeah, I found out today.
I went to see another show today.
And somebody knows a panda man very well and was like he never gets sick and he's not i'm gonna see the
show during the month it was just oh yeah i was desperate to a panda man is and i think you'll
agree here if you are ever going to the french and if you're like let's just go see i think if you want a
guaranteed fucking superb five stars out of five easily every single time without fail
and if you're taking friends who've never been to the french before abandon man is always the
answer you have to pre-book it because it's that fucking good but there is not a single person on this planet
who's worthy of your time
that would not enjoy
all of it
I don't want to say derailed because that's
dramatic but the day
was planned around
that show, that one was booked in for a while
so we had to find a last minute
sort of stand in for that
and it was called
Sophie's Surprise 29th Birthday Party
Yeah
Now what would you expect that was?
I would expect that it was
One woman play
About a woman approaching her 30s
Who was like questioning
Whether her friends from her 20s Were going to be her friends approaching her 30s who was questioning whether her friends from her 20s
were going to be her friends in her 30s
and whether it was time to make the cut pre-30th birthday.
Way too deep for what it was.
So far from what it was.
It was a circus show,
but what they did was they picked Someone in the audience
To be called Sophie
Gave her a party hat
And then every so often they'd be like
Happy birthday Sophie
And get her to make choices
And then at the end of the show they gave her Sophie's Choice
She got a party bag
This is a woman who doesn't get the Sophie's Choice reference
That's why they got no laugh
Is this funny?
It's not funny, it's very sad there's a movie
called sophie's choice with merrill streep in it where she's a holocaust she's going to the
holocaust and she's going to like pick which of her kids oh that's sophie's choice
i so wish kai was here in this podcast me too I'm so sorry
I think that was such a funny joke
I'm so sorry
you've actually got tears in your eyes
it's not really bad
like it's so different
to just
it's so different Did you see It's so different
Don't do the
Beaker impression
That's more of a
I'm not doing
It's you making the noise
I'm taking an impression
I've just
Normally when I say
Horrible fucking things
In this podcast
They're either
Ignored by This person And then laughed over here I've never Just normally when I say horrible fucking things in this podcast, they're either ignored by this person
and then laughed over here.
I've never just had you be like,
I don't get the reference,
and now that you've explained it to me,
that's awful.
Yeah, it was just a circus act.
It was brilliant.
The circus acts
are always
especially like
because
it's very impressive
right
so
it's always impressive
and you
because like
it's proper like
squeaky bum moment times
people think
that like circus
has to be in this
big fucking theatre
for it to have any
fucking value
but you've got to remember
these people are doing
physical things that none of us can do
and seeing it in close proximity
is actually infinitely
more impressive than seeing it from 200
fucking feet away. It was
yeah we really needed that after
the Please Love Me show which was
like had trigger warnings of
um
abortion. No there wasn't one for rape
but there should have been I guess
it was abortion
eating disorders
it was quite a heavy
quite a heavy show
and very
very unprofessional
that they kept the rape bit
as a surprise
just artistically
it was
well they never
it was weird
I don't want to
go too much into it
just in case people see it
but
yeah
but also
it was
it's
complicated to describe
what we
what we watched
but the circus one
very good
then we had
an hour
to kill
until our final
sexy circus show
and how
sexy
not as sexy
as I wanted it to be
still very good
still very very very good
how sexy did you want it to be did you want it to be like I want it cock I wanted it to be. Still very good. Still very, very, very good. How sexy did you want it to be?
I wanted cock.
I wanted tits.
But how did you want it to be in a circus?
Did you want like one woman, two and a half stars?
It wasn't a circus.
It was like cabaret.
Oh, okay.
No, it was variety.
There was fire twirling things.
Was the fire coming out of any hole? No. It was just, well, except the mouth. There was fire Twilling things Was the fire coming out of any hole?
No
There was fire on bum cheeks
A man lit a woman's bum cheeks on fire
A woman's bum cheeks?
But there's no hair on those
And then she had nipple tassels on
And it was fire down her chest
And then
There was
A Japanese
Burlesque dance man
That's what it was
And he had on a tiny little string
I was concerned that was coming off
I didn't want that so much actually
So a tiny little Japanese man comes off
No he wasn't tiny, he was henshin, he was in big heels
But he was older than I was expecting
I don't know what I was expecting
It was
Great for a five to midnight show
Okay
Full of drunk people
That were very very very rude
And were booing
And
I don't have time for that
Yeah yeah no
My cousin was telling me this
There was some fucking
And this is for me the bane of all
live performance not even live performance is also the bane of fucking theater and cinema
which is one of my cousins explained to me there was some guy in front who was drunk who'd been
out the french fucking all day had decided to go to attend a midnight show yeah i mean i think
they're used to it because it's that late of a show but it doesn't excuse it there's just this fucking drunk guy who's because a friend has booked a show and the
way his friend has described it it's like it's a sexy circus show this one drunk cunt who's been
drinking for 12 hours is sat being like this isn't sexy my joke there of like it wasn't sexy enough
he was serious about that it wasn't sexy enough for him i serious about that. It wasn't sexy enough for him. I was like, did you think you were coming
to watch live porn?
Porn's free online
and you can watch it in real life.
But why, Cara?
I don't know.
I just assumed
that's what he was after
and he felt the need to boo.
But luckily I had
a tiny little Rottweiler with me.
Kate, tap him on the shoulder
Oi!
He did actually pipe down after that
I bet he fucking did
If you ever hear a fucking London accent
coming from a small white woman
you shut your mouth
fucking immediately
Like, see if I was in a show
and I was being rude for whatever reason
like my dad never hugged me or I've not had any talent in my life,
and someone was tapping me in the shoulder and being like,
hello, darling, I was just wondering if there's any point
if you would be able to just quiet down your voice for me, please,
because I'm actually enjoying the entertainment.
I'd turn around and be like, listen, toots.
Why don't you fucking take a little Renault Clio
drive off to a Starbucks
get yourself a little mocha
I don't know what would
a little hot chocolate
I don't know
a frappe
whereas see if I was
at a show and I was talking
and somebody stepped forward with Kate's accent
and be like hello darling I'll Kate's accent and I'd be like hello darling
I'll cut your
fucking throat
I'd be like
good
Hermione learned
Avacadabra
I gotta
is that not the spell
is that not the
Harry Potter spell
Avacadabra
you kind of mixed
Avacadabra
with what
it should be
which is
Avacadabra Avacadabra with what it should be. Which is?
Avada Kedavra.
Avada Kedavra.
Oh, sure.
I'm saying it's that.
I'm saying it's that.
I'm saying it's that.
Do you want to go on to questions?
Yes.
Just a bit here, though,
because this has gone on way too long with my fringe chair.
I disagree.
I think that's just you being in camera for the first time
I'm also trying to actively avoid the camera
and also because I allow
a lot of dead air and then when it's dead air
I fill it with all of my inane chat
that you have to correct
I imagine it feels like this is going on for a long time
that you've not helped
it just feels like we've spent too long talking about
my fringe day
I
Garrett

I think it might be better to do first
Yeah, we can just edit this
Okay, so
The thing me and Clive did on the podcast
When we were two together for too long
And easy to get airy things
Was I love you but
And then you say something that you find annoying about them
I asked you earlier today
if you want us to do this and you said a very beautiful thing no i stole it from grey's anatomy
gara i swear please tell the story but before people hear the story i didn't know that I thought this was just a really beautiful part of you No How wrong
Ew
As if I'd care
Chris Lammy you're not on that season yet
So you've not seen it yet
Spoilers
I didn't spoil it
As long as Jack Tenevery is still there
And who's the chief? Who do we like?
Who?
Chief.
Miranda?
No, chief.
Miranda becomes chief?
No.
Miranda becomes chief?
She gets fired.
Does she just spot?
Does Miranda become chief?
What happens to chief?
What happens to Richard Webber?
He's not chief.
It's Hunt.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
He's always chief in my head.
That's where it's got.
That's where it's.
Miranda was chief resident, remember?
That is a fact.
Nice red herring, baby.
Carry on.
I stole it from Grey's Anatomy.
You stole it from Grey's Anatomy.
Because you were like, you have to do I love you buts and I was like, oh no, it's I love you and.
In spite of everything you are.
I love you and. I love you and in spite of everything you are I love you and I love you but
it's better
because in our relationship
please correct me wherever I get any of this wrong
I am the emotional one
I am the sensitive one
I am the one
that overthinks everything uh-huh um and because of that that feels like
to me that was where i'd be like no i love you but but i love you and because that's more inclusive
of course that's how you thought of it And you're like
Miranda said it and I love fucking Miranda
It was actually Addison Montgomery
Addison Montgomery's
Derek's ex
Yes
I'll still never forgive them for killing
Mark Sloan
I didn't answer because I don't know
Who you were thinking
You saw me cry my eyes out
When Mark Sloan died
And Lexi and everyone else that dies
Let's not
Oh that's a spoiler
Yeah it is
I cried when I thought
Oh fucking Ginger
Surgeon was even contemplating death
Made me weep
Hunt No no Ginger Ginger Surgeon Was even contemplating death Made me weep Hunt
No no
Ginger
The one that
Did
Fucking Arizona
Our mentor
The season we've just watched
Ginger Lady
Had the brain tumour
Ginger Lady
Oh
Give her a ginger
If that's what's fucking you up
The
Arizona's
Elder
Who
She's not ginger She's ginger She is I'm getting a's elder who She's not Ginger.
She's Ginger. I'm getting a picture
of her. She's Ginger. What's her fucking name again?
Yeah. What's her name on the show?
She was the mum in
Stuart Little. Herman. Dr.
Herman. Nicole Herman.
Nicole Herman.
She's not Ginger. She's not Ginger?
That's brownie
blondie. Not Ginger. Was's not Ginger? That's brownie-y, blondie.
Not Ginger.
Was she Ginger in Stuart Little?
Don't know.
Can you look up the mum from Stuart Little, Matthew,
and tell me if she was Ginger?
And don't tell me if you think she's Ginger.
Because also, sorry for another tangent,
I don't know if you know this,
Stuart Little was one of your favourite movies
growing up. I'm sorry Matthew, do you not know
your own favourite films?
Just in the sense that from the age of like
I think three to seven
that was like his
because we've not got to that stage with Caelan yet
there's no thing that he demands on
for me it was Boy and the Bird
which was the
Rescuers Down Under. My mum and dad will tell you I would it was boy and the bird which was the rescue rescuers down under my mom and dad
will tell you i would scream for boy and the bird boy and the bird boy and the bird and that was
that so i'm just curious if you remember her being ginger from sure little not i don't remember much
about the film oh man i wonder that's luke ginger oh she does there there that's that's where it's
come from okay i'm definitely wrong now she's does there. There. That's where it's come from. Okay, I'm definitely wrong now.
She's definitely not Ginger now,
but that's where my Ginger recollection was coming in.
Anyway, we're talking about why I'm sensitive.
No, we were talking about where I got I love you and from.
Yes.
So you're being...
It's not that you...
I don't think you're A meaner person than me
In any way
I know I regularly talk in the podcast about you and Cullen being
The mean girls
But you and I bitch
The same amount
About several things
I just think
It's funner with Cullen
Because Cullen is not as
Pathetically empathetic as I am.
Yeah.
I don't like confrontation.
No.
I don't like hating other people.
Even though I do hate other people and I do it sometimes on this podcast,
it does fill me with a fucking heavy guilt,
whereas you're just like anyone that's burnt me Can not die in a fire
Not as harsh as me
Get fucked
Right do your thingy my bobbers
Okay
I love you
But
I'm so intrigued
Am I going first
I love you and I'm guilty of this too
But you're worse so here's why it's coming up
I find it hard to show you
A film or TV show that I really love
Because I know you'll be on your phone
For most of it
No
If you told me it was one of your favourite films
I watched all of the Batman ones
The Prestige
If you just put something on to pass time time me okay i'm not
because i because you give me grace and i mean i am on my phone a lot during that and i know
but like here's where this came from and um i love the daredevil TV series. Oh. Here we go.
Drag up this then.
I love
the Daredevil series. You love
Marvel. Yes.
I wanted to love Daredevil. You just wouldn't answer
my fucking questions.
In hindsight.
Yes.
During lockdown we watched all the Marvel
movies together. What, S.H.I.E.L.D.? We watched all the Marvel movies together
when everything came out
what Shield
we watched all of Shield
together
loved that
Shield which
and here's where my point
comes up
Shield where
if anyone's watched
Agents of Shield
you know that after
season four
they just go
fuck the rules
let's just do
anything and make
this entertaining
and if you surrender
to it
which we did
we loved
every single season
of Agent Shield
and I'm sure we'll watch it again
yeah
we then watched the Marvel movies
we're all into it
and I'm like
Daredevil's just the best
Jessica Jones started that
we loved that
we loved that
we're like let's get into this
let's do this together
and for some reason
Daredevil
was the one
time during all of the Marvel
movies that
I think some guy loaded his gun
and Daredevil went oh that's
an M16 and Kara went
that's ludicrous and I went
what?
Why this point?
I hadn't
been given his backstory at this point and you refused hadn't been given this backstory
at this point
and you refused
to tell me when
I was going to find out
the information
that I needed to know
and then I found it
difficult to watch
yes yes
in hindsight
I
this is embarrassing
because this is
and I love you
but that I've now realised
comes back to
my feelings
because
because you're right it was it was you just
wanted further explanation it was just me going watch it fucking listen because obviously you got
so annoyed well we're not watching that anymore then the best the best marvel tv series is
objectively daredevil it just is
I'll never know
and we get five
and you're enjoying all the episodes
and you're like oh getting it
but
yeah this wasn't just episode one
we got
no no no
and also
here's where I am wrong
here's where I'm 100% wrong
because I've grown up in the family
I have loving things
I obviously knew all of the history of fucking Daredevil
and just the fact
like in the same way
that if there was
a Spider-Man movie
where they explained
that Uncle Ben
was killed
and that's why
Spider-Man
you'd be like
yeah man
I know
don't give me that again
that was me
with Daredevil
and
fuck
fuck
my I Love You
But Was A Failure On Me
okay
let's delete that one
and let's start with Cara
Okay
I love you
But you need to learn to close drawers and cupboards
After you've gotten your clothes out
It's infuriating
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
You just walk away
It's pulled out, Why is that drawer out?
Why is that door open?
And why are the clothes that I know are
But you don't do it with like kitchen cupboards
No
Pick a lane
All the cupboards are open
Or none of them
You can't just pick and choose
Oh I'll have the bedroom doors open
But I know how to close the mug cupboard
That one doesn't confuse me.
The milk cupboard just being a fridge, by the way.
The mug, not milk.
Oh, no, delete that, Matthew.
Delete that.
Delete that bit where I corrected and I was wrong.
Can you delete that bit where I...
With every day of your life, you're always wrong.
Yes, 100%. yes 100%
but
do you not agree
that it's
with our house
it's just so much easier to leave our room
a disgusting state
that's not the point
the drawer doesn't need to be open
I'm aware of it
Cara I've got a lot of clothes and I know what you're going to say
to Nate them
it's specifically your boxer jolt
huh?
it's specifically
your boxer jolt
it's not
have you not seen
my drawers
and my actual t-shirts
oh yeah you leave them
with like t-shirts
hanging out over them
it's like you've tried on outfits
like the top
so it's like
it's like five
drawers
and then like that
fucking five feet of clearance
where they give you space for hanging your thing.
You don't hang anything?
I hang some shirts that I never wear
and that's why you never see me using it.
The top shelf, which is the one which is above the top drawer,
is at a 35 degree angle
because that's how much my clothes are stuffed into it.
Because I just need to
Is that why you leave the drawers open?
No I do it because I'm a lazy
piece of... That's a weird thing to
just not do
just open, shut
I've
here's an
this is going to be a statement which leads into a question
I
have learned a a coping mechanism to
make me better just around the house and that coping mechanism was taught to me by a tiktok
slash instagram slash algorithm meme which was like hey if you have adhd here's a really important
bit of life advice never put anything down always put advice. Never put anything down. Always put it away.
Never put anything down.
Like if you're a regular person,
you can put something down and go off
and you'll come back to it.
Oh no.
But I am someone that will just put something down
and be like, I'll do that in two minutes
and then never do the next thing.
And that's how I'm trying to get better at that.
Here's the question.
Do you think I have ADHD?
I think I've got it
that's fine, everyone's understood
I know it's fine
is my ADHD worse than yours?
in some aspects
in some aspects, what aspects is my ADHD
not worse than yours?
conversation wise
I think I zone out more
Oh really?
Because you talk all the time
I just get bored of waiting for my chance
To say something
Remember that
Was it the Spongebob clip
The film and it's just
That's me most of the time
Yeah okay
It's a very
It's a very accurate one I fair i'll take it on board
and cry myself to sleep i love you and oh you're going that one your opinion that red pants don't
automatically mean that you want to have sex is wrong confusing and it sets a dangerous precedent right you can wear whatever
I know what I'm doing
whatever
whatever you fucking want
to wear
in our relationship
at any point
it's down to you
baby you have
your own fucking autonomy
that is you
you're
you've got better style
than me
you're more fashionable
you're more beautiful
than me
the way you
you can express yourself
in clothes
in a way that like
you know i fumble through like i'll regularly come downstairs fully clothed all the time
with the new shoes i've bought and be like does this match this thing and you'll be like
kind of but maybe if you were to go upstairs and just put on a less offensive top that would be
like you're really good at all of knowing what like, this is smart.
This is casual.
This is smart casual.
This is it.
You know, you have to explain smart casual to me.
Yet, you will regularly walk into our bedroom wearing red underwear and be like, this doesn't mean I want to fuck.
And I'm like, you are delusional.
I'm not saying this about thongs ladies
I know thongs are for comfort right
Thongs aren't there for men
I get that
Lingerie isn't just for men
Red fucking panties
Is just for I'm horny
Did you just say thongs are for comfort
Are they not
A piece of underwear that goes up your arse crack
Sorry not comfort
Love that for me
So comfy
Sorry you're right
Comfort's not what I meant
But I meant like
VPL
That's the thing right?
No VPL
You don't want
VPL is visible pant line
Yeah so you don't want that
No VPL
There's specific underwear for that
Not just thong
So here's where this all comes from
When me and Jean were living together
and we were sharing a fucking laundry thing
one time I was
changing Jean's laundry to do
put my own stuff in and I know this is
alien to you, me doing any laundry
but when I was bringing out Jean's stuff
there was a
week worth of clothes in there
right, just a week's worth of clothes in there, right? Just a week's worth of clothes.
And there were seven thongs. And I'm like, what kind of slut is Jean?
Because you only wear boxers.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And if I was to wear a thong, I'd want to get fucked.
Good to know.
I just thought you were doing it to clean.
Weird.
I'll take it.
Fine.
Fair point.
I'm not going to stop.
Good.
Good.
That's fair news.
Just as long as you accept that when I come on heavy and we have sex afterwards, you did it and it wasn't me.
Sure.
I love you. You're not happy she has to fuck me i love you but i don't love your chicken laxa i'm sorry
it's not as good as cullen's is it it's not as good as cullen's
i really like cullen's and he doesn't it's so good he doesn't live here anymore no and you offer it
way too often
yeah
yep
and oh
here's the embarrassing thing
so I love chicken laksa
it's like
I think it's fun to make
I think it's easy
I think it's delicious
like
if you've never tried it before
I'm not cultured
it came from a
hello fresh
hello fresh thing
and it was so
fucking good
and then literally
two weeks after that
I think it was in Australia
and Demian Lardner
cooked me the best
lax heart
I've ever had
in my fucking life
and then when
we were doing Hello Fresh
when we were doing
Kale and Dewey
because we had
the great pleasure
of having Cullen
in the house
sometimes we were like
hey man
he's
we're on him today
you're making dinner
and C Colin would follow
this recipe
to the
no he got so confident
with it
he just
went with that
and it was
delicious
it was
you like it quite soupy
yeah yeah
because it was a little bit thicker
yeah it's more of a
yeah
it's still soupy
but not as runny
no but it's not as ramony
it's more like a fucking
but yeah
and Colin slacks it
is objectively a thousand times better than mine.
Yeah.
And it was devastating because I will always, whenever we do our weekly shop, we plan out
like the meals we're going to have.
Our very limited menu choices.
Yeah, because we're both big eaters.
We go, let's go through the 12 things we eat and decide the seven we'll do this week.
And I will always mention chicken laxa.
And you will always go, I don't want your chicken laxa. But you're like, oh, maybe not this week. Maybe just always mention chicken laksa and you will always go I don't want your chicken laksa
but you're like oh maybe not
this week maybe just the hamburgers or maybe
you know just stew or whatever
and then like literally after like four months
since our last laksa I bring it up
and you're like you know what fair enough it's been enough time
when I tell you
I made the worst fucking
laksa oh Cara
it was a pile of
Put it in my mouth
I remember Caelan being given
Cullen's laxa
Oh loved it
Shuffling noodles into his fucking mouth
Yeah I think he's just being weird though
Remember you couldn't find the pepper
I found the pepper
No you didn't
He did
I found it in your car
He also found it in the car
I just didn't take it out
Because I was like This will be fun for him to find also found it in the car. I just didn't take it out because I was like, this will be fun
for him to find later.
We got in the car and Matthew just went,
why is there a pepper in your car?
I was like, I don't know.
I was laughing yesterday. I was like,
what a fool.
Pepper in the car?
I don't even know what you'd call it
in the Tesla.
I love you. I love you'd call it in the Tesla I love you
and
it's called a chippy and not a chipper
the word chipper already exists
and it means
upbeat and not a place that
serves chips
you are much like when Kai thought that poop
meant fart and we realised
that only people within his
postcode in the whole of the world thought that poop meant fart.
They are not the same thing.
No.
A fucking chippy is not a fucking chipper, Cara.
It is not a fucking chipper.
I'll have a chipper supper, please.
You fucking will.
Right, then you're going to have a happy supper
that's going to be served to you with maracas.
What's so wrong with that?
It's not!
It could be a thing! Isn't it just a nicer way to be? You you with maracas. What's so wrong with that? It's not. It could be a thing.
Isn't it just a nicer way to be?
You don't get it from a chipper.
You can get a chipper from a chippy.
I'll accept that.
Chipper chips.
Oh, wow.
I'll have some salt and vinegar on my chipper chips, please.
It's chipper supper.
It's disgusting.
You've got to back me up on this one.
This is abominable. This is abominable.
This is abominable.
Right?
Chipper, chipper, chipper.
It's pretty bad.
It's a fucking disgrace.
Nobody cares as much as you do.
You take a long, hard look at yourself.
I fucking promise you, once we delete every...
Mail's on a chalkboard, is it?
Once we delete every comment that was negative about me from this episode,
when we search by top results,
it will be people agreeing with me
that you calling it a chipper
is Prince Andrew levels of creepy grossness.
They're both right.
Both can be right.
That's the world I like to live in.
No, only when you're wrong
do you like to live in a world where we're both right.
When I'm wrong,
you love to live in a world where I'm wrong.
Yes.
This is my last one.
I love you,
but this is clearly just a game to get me to tell you
that I love you more than once in a day.
Grow up.
I'd fucking take once a day.
I know, I've always been a bit generous with myself there.
Do you need to hear it all the time?
Before we go to the questions I think
the
really the
the only big
thing
and it's not big
the only thing
where you and I
aren't
the same person
is
in how we
express love
I am
I don't think anyone can keep up
with how you express love
I'm a loving person
All the time
I love you all the time
You don't need to tell me
Do you hear this broken family fucking pitch
Do you hear
I just know
You should just know
But you insult me all the time
please love me
now it all makes sense
I live
here's the way I just
describe to myself I will say
the worst things in the
world to you one because you can take it
you know it's not real and two
because I counterweight that with
regularly telling you
that I think you're so beautiful that I find you unbelievable.
No, you've turned that into a bet now.
I don't believe you when you say these things.
I do do it as a bet.
Yeah.
But it's a very funny bet.
For you.
Whenever we leave anywhere with more than Three people
I will urgently drag
Cara to the side of wherever
We're going to and be like
I am so sorry
I can't imagine how awkward it was
For you being the most
Beautiful person in that room
But you handled it with grace
And you handled it with
Anywhere we go
after the Playhouse show and I'm like
was it the most awkward
awkward thing being the most beautiful girl
on my show? She's like I was backstage
and I left before you were on
and I'm like
and is that because you were the most beautiful?
I like to go
as hard as fucking possible
to say the worst things
but then also
in our moments together
when it's just us
to tell you
very earnestly
that I think you're beautiful
and I love you dearly
and I like to reply
no you don't
which is my favourite bit
no no
this isn't my way of saying that you love me.
We have different love languages.
Your love language is organising something.
It's doing something for me.
It's presence.
And physical.
You're so much, you know, like, don't get me wrong,
this is very much me coming to terms with the fact that we have different love languages.
But my frustration arrives from, baby, I'm so good with words.
And I'll tell you, bitch, every fucking day, how much I think those tits are dank.
Oh, I hate every word that's just come out.
Every fucking day. Every day. I tell you, them tits are dank. Oh, I hate every word that's just come out. Err. Err fucking day.
Our day.
Ugh.
I tell you them titties dank.
I tell you...
I do wonder why I don't tell you I love you every day.
I tell you them titties dank with a straight face.
I tell you them titties dank with a long...
I hate you.
I'm uncomfortable.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. but you're great
my love language is words
and I'm just getting used to the fact
that you
me going for five minutes
how perfect I think you are
how much I love you
your response is
in no way less
but I just have
your response of
Aww
Is the same
That's all I have to learn
What time are we on?
You've done about
an hour, more than an hour
so you didn't bang out questions
You've got 10 minutes of questions?
Yeah, I think we need to answer some of them
You made a point of asking
Let's go
A lot of people were asking about
how Bruce is doing
I love Bruce
Bruce is my new pet bat
Who has come
For those that don't know
We have a wood burner
Yeah we've not just bought a bat
No
We have a wood burner in our living room
Obviously the wood burner
Has a chimney set outside
This bat found its way into our wood burner
We released him The next day he was there we fed
him we released him again the next day he was there and we were like i i think he just lives
here now and then we found out that the uk has very good and strict laws about bats they are a
protected species if they live where you live you do not get to kick them out.
You can offer them outside,
but if they come back, congratulations,
you've got a new fucking tenant.
But there's also no company in the UK.
Not entirely true.
There are the bat helplines.
I phoned the SSPCA.
They were very much just like,
put them outside.
If he flies away, great.
If not, we'll have to come back.
So that's what I'm going to have to do
because
I tried letting him out
and
his wee wings
were flapping
and he just
fell to the ground
three times
but he can crawl
I don't know what the injury is
his wings look fine
there's no holes in his wings
I don't know if he's just
exhausted at this point
and also
very importantly
there was a day
where we
put him out
on our closed horse and he flew away we put him out on our closed horse
and he flew away
we put him out of blanket
we put him on the top
and he flew away
and it was a beautiful moment
where we both hugged
and we were like
that's him gone
and then we came back
downstairs
I think he likes
the wood burner
I do think this is like
safe space
yeah I do
I think he likes the top of it
but I think
when he sleeps
he falls down
no I think he likes the burner
because they hang upside down do they all he sleeps in all top of it, but I think when he sleeps, he falls down. No, I think he likes the burner because they hang upside down.
Do they all?
He sleeps in all sorts of positions.
I've been stalking him a little bit.
Yeah.
And there were a few people saying,
like, why don't we get mesh around,
like, the top of the...
We could do.
We can't.
Nobody can reach that.
Like, a ladder won't go up that high.
It's impossible.
Oh, really?
It's in a really awkward place
just outside our room
yes we'd have to move his calf things he's good we fed him today for example he's had water he's
had food we offered him outside he didn't take to it so we took him back into where he was happy
um we're phoning the plan tomorrow is to phone the SSPCA again or there
is, like I'd phoned
Sasha and Luna's vet but
they don't deal with
wild animals so we need to find out.
And you're like, hi I'm here for a bat scan.
Do you mean a cat scan?
Yes and no.
Ugh!
Bruce
is okay.
Don't know how the story ends
but he's still with us
and he's happy
I'm happy
despite the fact that
for four hours of the day
he has to live life
in a television set
while two
giant predators
look at him
stay in a place
yeah
this one's for Cara
describe Daniel
as a dad
in one word
oh one word Oh one word
Give her three
No I can do one I think
Brilliant
Really? You're a brilliant dad
Yeah? Yeah I'm going on for the big sentence now
But yeah you are a very nice dad
Oh thank you. You're wonderful
Good dad. Thank you
You know you're a good dad
I know I'm a good dad most of the time
sometimes I get the
standard
anxieties and fears
just because I'm not there as much
and now that he's
old enough to know that he definitely misses me
yeah that's nice though that he
misses you
there was a point you didn't care
yeah
he only cared when i saw it
came back but you are the fun one he prefers playing with you but bullying me oh god he does
it's so funny just how and i don't know whether it's like a fucking sex thing or just like as in
a gender thing i mean by that Like That he's just like Oh
Dad is rough
And plays
He can throw me about
And dad's the one
That beats me up
And
You don't really beat him up
Like play beat him up
Yeah
When you're there
I play beat him up
Cara
I'm going to tell you
Right now on this podcast
At least two of the injuries
I've told you
He got from something
Where
The bruises
Yeah They were They were from some very fun games of hide and seek okay take back that word
um the dug and bone asks why can't she stop flirting with my husband when she's got her own
yeah why don't you answer this question canna natalie let's just first address that I'm doing this podcast
Without Natalie
We'd always said we would do it together
And here I am
So I guess I'm just letting you down constantly
I can't help myself
They kissed first Natalie
Their first loves
Cara was a mere 17 year old, Kara was a mere 17-year-old
and Kai was a mere
legal age. Excuse me, I was 19.
You were 19. I was 19. I was
a woman.
I don't
fancy Kai and I'm not flirting with him.
You heard it here first and through
grisly teeth of a liar.
That's all I have to say for her.
There's quite a few questions worded differently,
but they're all basically, how do you put up with Daniel?
I don't.
It's real hard.
I leave a lot.
You leave a lot.
So it's nice.
I give you ample opportunity to miss me.
And then also while you miss me and then also
while you miss me being like
you know what I could do this alone
he's not bad
he's a pussycat
you're fine
yeah
I feel like oh here's a question
let me phrase it a different way
how different am I
to you how different am I to you how different to am i now in your perception
to your perception of me when we first started dating oh um because obviously you know i was
i was this big fucking arrogant i'm the great you're still cocky but it's different i don't
know how to describe it like you were cocky back then, and it was almost annoying.
Yeah.
And you're cocky now, but it's like...
Now that you've seen the downtime,
when it's just me smoking weed
Being like
Am I a drug addict?
Please love me
Honestly this show
All the advertising I'm doing for it
Laura asks
What's been your best or worst date together?
We don't go on dates
I fucking hate this bit
Worst date is the date that you claim was a date
Or wasn't a date
It was a fucking date
It was
Because of our situation
Her family had found out
What had gone on
And because they had not been given the full information
About where our relationship was at Because the last bit of information They had received was what had gone on and because they had not been given the full information about where
our relationship was at because the last bit of information they had received was that
five years ago I broke up.
There was no relationship.
No, there wasn't.
We barely spoke.
Well, that's a lie.
We hadn't seen each other.
No, we hadn't seen each other.
And you invited me to...
You came to the show.
A work in progress show.
Uh-huh.
I brought you to a work in progress show.
Where your parents were
Who does that
Do you not remember
The time
My
I introduced you to my mother
At the Sweet Thing
Funny Party
And this was after
We'd been banging for about a year
Me and Jill genuinely thought
That you were joking
When you went
And this is my mum and dad
We were like
Haha
And I was like
Oh no wait
These are his parents
Like why is he introducing us
To his parents
Yep Yeah yeah This is weird And And then you did it again That night At some The work in progress show We were like, haha I was like, oh no wait, these are his parents Why is he introducing us to his parents?
It's weird And then you did it again that night
At the Work in Progress show
Why are you sitting me next to your parents?
My mum took me aside afterwards
And this is where I was
In my mid-twenties
Late twenties
Pekara
She went
Is there any point in learning this one's name
And I went
No
Why would you learn her fucking name
She's gonna be here for a bit
We're gonna have the time of her fucking life
I'll break her heart
She'll be fucking
And then a year later I'm like
I begged her to marry me
I don't think we've ever
had a bad date
no
no I don't think we have
because we never did
like our
our entire
sort of our relationship
we were
I do know my best one
is it with me
yes
oh thank god
it was
October
2020
I like dates.
And like things were kind of open, kind of not.
And we went on a bar crawl round.
I say Edinburgh, we didn't go that far.
But we went to, we got pizza and the chili dog.
And then we went to the whiskey bar.
I can't remember what it was.
Did all the whiskey tasting.
Yes, absolutely.
I mean, Gareth and Laura joined us later on
but we just spent the day
drinking
and it was just nice
because
Covid
yeah
yeah it was
it was just
yeah yeah
we were out
because we'd gone from
fuck buddies
to
being in a
serious relationship
where I was away
for 80%
of the year
and you were able to join me for like 10% of relationship where I was away for 80% of the year and you were able to join me
for like 10% of that yeah to I was then depressed and just wanted a whole bunch of time at home
you moved in and then COVID happened and we had every single day with each other and I think
there's plenty of people who were in relationships during Covid who will tell you
that Covid either made them or
broke them and we were very much
like
well I mean I broke
you always say this you were
nowhere near as bad as you think you were
no? nah
because I always
yeah I mean you always say this like I always think
like
I always think I always
not criticise you but
your perception of how you are
is very different from my perception of how you are
like I see you in a very different
way to you see you
it's fair to say
just in terms of how you
look you think you look
a certain way I think you look a very different way.
We disagree on that on occasion.
Just for clarification, I think she's beautiful and she's a humble slut.
Whereas I don't think I'm as good as it the other way.
Like I've, all of my self-doubts, you'll be like, well, that's not true.
You forget it works both ways. Yeah
and I'm like well you're just saying that because
you love me
even though you don't say it enough
or sing it
or do the
the
the
sexy
Next question please
Sid asks
How many cats do you want?
How many does Daniel want?
And what have you settled on?
I want all of the cats
I am so
You're a cat converted
100%
I would take any cat
Not me
I only want cats that can beat the shit out of my son
I only want cats
That are hard to pick up
Because of their fucking size
The second you get Maine Coons
There is just no going back
No there's real
I don't know what the word would be
Pride
And when a cat
likes you.
Like, if I can see a random cat on the street,
I'll be, psst, psst, psst, come be my friend.
That's why taking you to Greece is a nightmare.
Oh, don't I get real sad.
Yeah, I know you do, don't I? On any holiday
with stray cats.
I would, at this point, genuinely
take, I would
take two Maine Coons every year for the next five years.
What are you doing with the two you already got?
Keep them.
Oh, you're just topping up?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'd do that.
I'd happily have a house overrun by Maine Coons.
But also, my dream is for one day to, even though I love where we live,
I would love to, when our children, our two children,
the only two children that we're going to have,
the two children,
the two, we have one now,
we're going to have one more,
and then that's it.
After those two children,
I would like to potentially move somewhere else
where we were able to get a bit more rural,
where we were able to get a bit of land.
You wouldn't be a weirdo that would be like,
we've got all these cats, let's build them a house outside
and they can have their own house.
No, they'd live with us.
Yeah, just making sure.
I'm not asleep on the bed.
They're not sleeping on the bed.
They sleep on the bed when you're not there.
They're fucking toe biters.
They're not sleeping on the fucking bed.
They sleep on the bed already.
Okay, fine.
As long as you're fine,
I've been woken up at 3am by the sound of the forehead
of a cat hitting the ceiling
as after it bites my toe,
I kick the cunt through the fucking roof.
It's me.
Why did I do that?
No.
I genuinely think
I could...
There would be a question
If
If to have another kit
My one condition was
I need you to suck
Each individual toe
Of one of my foot
I'm cheating
Yeah yeah
That's what I thought the answer would be
Those big big toes ain't going in my mouth
Please don't bring up
Why
Big toe
Kara they're called big toes
Yes but yours is a big big toe
Because
Kara
Big toes both of them
Not just one
Not just one large large toe
They are medically defined as big toes
Yeah but
Yours is bigger than the average big
Toe
Next question please
There's two more
Right
Give me a second I'll just cut this
I've got the last question
Because it's good
There's two that are
kind of the same what's your favourite fringe show
of all time or what's your favourite
comedy special
well you do the comedy special
I'll do the fringe show or have you got a favourite fringe show
I can do one of each or do you want to do
one of each or do you want to do I'll happily do
the special
the
fuck
people are going to disagree with me I'm going to understand they're the special yeah the oh fuck
um
people are going to
disagree with me
I'm going to understand
their disagreement
but bear in mind
that none of them
love his comedy
anywhere near
the amount
that I love
and have studied comedy
nobody who listens
to this podcast
or most podcasts
study stand up
the way I do
um Bo Burnham's
What
is
is close
to the greatest special of all time
I understand it's not Phil's stand-up
I think that's what fucking adds to it
if you want the name of the Phil's stand-up special
that's greatest of all time it's going to be
Bill Burr's Black and White One
but if we're talking for me great stand-up special of all time It's going to be Bill Burr's Black and White One But if we're talking
For me
Greatest stand up special of all time
Bo Burnham What is
So
Hard to beat
The lyrics of those songs
The power
Of the
Several messages and the clowniness
Of the rest of it makes it
so
incomparable to me
good
and also can you just clarify
when we first started
Shagging the Day Round
I absolutely made you watch
Bo Burnham's watch
yeah and then I enjoyed the songs so much I just started playing the songs
and that was anyone that's in a relationship who loves comedy understands
even if it's not comedy when you love some form of media whether it's music whether it's theater
whether it's a bit of fucking poetry or a movie or a tv show sharing that with the person you feel
like you're falling in love with is a big fucking test because if they you were always testing me you can test out life
rates i really was i really was now that i look back at it i'm like first of all who do you think
i was that i was like cocky here's all the hurdles you have to get through to get to me
like that sort of fucking arrogance but you know what darling you go through them all Oh darling Oh the carrot on the fucking Instagram stories
When I was away in fucking
GFL a spider in the bar
In the sink and I was like
Just put the cat next to the sink
And the cat will deal with the spider
So carrot then films
And you know what we'll put this out with the podcast
Because we've got this clip.
It's the footage of Luna getting this spider,
this giant spider out of the sink.
And Cara will be like, oh, she's got it.
It is the funny noise.
You're getting it.
I'm going to get it.
I'm going to get it I'm gonna get it
while you tell me
your favourite
show
the French show
it's got to be
Abandoned Man
I've done it
every year
I can do it
more than once
during the month
it's just
crowd pleaser
every time
oh and
he's just
so fucking
talented
it's the
most impressive
thing I've ever
seen I've ever seen.
Right, I've got it.
So this is... I'll send this to you.
This is Cara watching our cat drag a spider out and yelling,
And the legs are coming out of her mouth.
And then...
yelling fuck and the legs are
coming out of her
mouth
and then
suck
bleh
one more time
suck
bleh
I don't even know
I can make that
noise
oh right
last question
final one
there's a few
people asking
and it's a good
way to do some plugs at the end just
like three recommendations for fringe shows to see uh i saw a previous podcast guest glenn wool
today um i was a fan of glenn before i was a stand-up i remember meeting glenn uh in in in
galway when i was like 18 years old and i couldn't believe I was on the bill with him.
I saw him live.
He instantly became my favourite fucking comic.
Then he's never gone down.
And then this year I saw him in like a...
He's doing a smaller room because it's not a full show yet.
So it's like he's clearly building up the fucking material and stuff but to watch somebody that good in that smaller room was both joyous in
the sense that it's like man this is what the fringe is about but also like oh fuck this is
why the industry sucks you have that was the best show i've seen on fringe like by a mile like
not by a mile,
that's unfair,
but just in the sense of,
in the terms of comedy that I'm into,
the lines,
the way he was able to engage with the fucking audience,
the,
I was just,
I was fucking blown away.
And also,
Glenwell walked on stage to a really good room,
but not a full room.
And because of the lighting in his room he was
instantly able to see me mark nelson his manager his manager's wife and frankie boyle right and
i'm like if i were to walk out on stage to frankie boyle and mark nelson and brett vincent i would
probably pull that show if i could see them or I would
just immediately move to the back
Glenn Wool the questions
he asked of the audience members were to me
Frankie and fucking Brett
and I'm like and he made gold
out of it all and I'm like that's a level
of
confidence and skill to
be on the circuit
it's just unmatched like
me and Colin spent five minutes
dissecting all of the jokes afterwards I
fucking loved it also I
still cannot express how good
a Rouge Ashvac show was I
loved it so very much
and I'm going
to say for the last one just for
the fucking theatre's sake
because I did love it mythos
ragnarok was if i have to put that in because otherwise the answer would be gareth walsh show
but because i've done two comedies i'm gonna have to fucking stick in the theater one it'll be mythos
ragnarok um minor ones that i've done before i haven't done yet and I will do this month, Masayuki
great night out
can you just give a brief explanation of what it is?
Mas Karaoke
and by that
it's a live band
playing very good songs
and the words
are on projectors
at the back, I think it's in
Spiegeltent you've got to really be in the back. I think it's in Spiegeltent.
Yeah.
You've got to really be in the mood for it,
but it's a good time.
You would not enjoy it.
Not for you at all.
Unless there was a seat at the side
to watch everyone else doing it.
Well, yeah, it's where we did Baby Disco.
Oh, if I had a seat at the side,
I would never leave the table
but I could watch other people do
mass karaoke and have fun
another one The Magnets
oh yeah
they're great they're only doing specific
I think it's like a one week run
you know they introduced me onto the stage once
they're great
my third ever Fringe show I was at the Spiegel 10
in the same the gardens and they were
the show before me
and I got to know
them all
because I loved them
because I
I'd seen their show
they were such
a good acapella group
they're brilliant
and the last day
it was the
my show
The Joker
which was that song
by me
the fucking artist
called The Joker
it was the
number one
the year I was born
the month I was born I'm a smoker i'm a joker i'm a real life talk at that one they introduced me they all came
on stage before me and did that in acapella to bring me on and it was devastatingly the best
bit of the show by a mile oh they are fab i'll be going to see them That's two music ones I really like the music ones
Yeah you do
And I'd always recommend a circus one
Whether it's like La Clique
I've done that a few times
Sophie's Surprise 29
There's a few circusy ones that I'd want to go back
And see
So any circus one
It's always
They're brilliant and I think they all kind of
do
more than one show
because the people that have
done the clique
I've seen on other circus shows
they swap around
it's almost cabaret-esque
yeah
they do other
it's almost like comedy
you go and do other spots
other shows
and things
it's like fucking
Ruben K's K-Hole
it's
yeah
I'd recommend them
they're always good
okay well first off before I finally thank you for doing something as K-Ho. Yeah, I'd recommend them. They're always good. Okay, well,
first off, before I finally say anything, thank you
for doing something I know you're not
hugely comfortable with. Like this.
Yeah, but I mean, I joined you
in the fucking jammies to make sure. Yeah,
but you're always on camera.
And I always look terrible when I'm on camera.
You don't care.
I don't care. I'm tired
and hungover and with scrapes of last night's makeup
Topped up with some fresh makeup
It's just scaffy
Well I think you look beautiful
And I think you've done a very good job
And I'm very grateful that you came on here
And let me talk for the first 45 minutes
And enjoyed it in the end
I'm sorry to just replicate
Our relationship live on camera
Now everyone knows what our life is like
And now
If you want to look down the camera and trash talk
Natalie into fucking doing the podcast
I will never bully her into this
No
I do it with her
Maybe we should do that
We can do one
We very nearly did it Do it with her. Okay. Maybe we should do that. Yeah, we can do one. We can do, you know.
We very nearly did it when we were in Manchester.
And we were going to do the I love you, but then me and Natalie chickened out.
Because you got too drunk.
No, we got so drunk that we didn't have to do it
Not that we were like
Oh we're too nervous
Yes but that's the same
No we
It said we were going to do it because we were drunk
We were feeling confident
And then when we came out of that
We were like no no no
I got that entire story backwards
We were going to do it because we were drunk
And we were like yeah we could do that.
That's so cool.
And then the next day, no, thank you.
Understood.
Not for us.
Well, thank you for getting me on to it.
She texted me saying good luck.
It felt like a threat.
Good luck.
She also sends that to you whenever you and Kai
are just hanging out.
Yeah.
Good luck getting away with this, you fucking slut.
What shows are you doing? are just hanging out. Yep. Good luck getting away with this, you fucking slut. What shows are you doing?
During the Fringe.
What can we plug?
Where can we see you?
Remember that time I actually told people at the So You Think You're Funny party
that me and Jill had a show at the Fringe.
And I was like, I can't actually get you any tickets because we've fully sold out.
It's so sad for you.
It's a two woman show
Jada
Called the Pussy Dialogues
No way
God I was so drunk then
It's where we just
Queef into each other's vagina
I wonder if anyone ever
Actually followed up
Checking out this show
That I plugged really hard
It didn't exist
I imagine a lot of
Horny bald
40 year old men did
There was a lot of women
We were telling about it
Yeah
Don't know why
Don't know where this is
When I'm drunk
weird things happen
well thank you so much
for coming on
I'm very grateful
I need to go
pay for parking

for a long time
I might have a ticket you
