No.
Sorry.
Do you know how many people have been upset about that?
Ryan Cullen, ladies and gentlemen, doesn't have cancer.
Doesn't have it.
So I've got fucking people messaging me all week going like,
every single person is like, you know, you kind of deserved it.
You know what?
This is your coming out.
Do you think so? You know how the world is heteronormative and you have to come out like
it is just default i am straight it's and i'll bet your health health normative i don't know what
that's what normative meant yeah health you know no health normative is everybody else you're not
you're not like everybody just assumes that there's something up yeah so so you have to come out as not having cancer like even if there was
no scare i fucking i fucking i tell you i'm gonna do a bit about it in the fringe i walked i walked
in to get the biopsy in the cancer ward and everyone was looking at me like another dose
hey uh yeah never been thinking it was like a fifth round of chemo Yeah Oh man He's been ravaged by it
For many years
That guy
See your date of birth as well
I'm like it's assessed maybe
See you're only what
31
Yeah
See you're 31
Go on
It's ravaging him
No no
Benign
Oh god
It's benign actually
I fucking
I'd hate to see what it would do
If I was
If I was terminal
Your facial hair falls out
Not that I have a lot
Does it?
Is that not falling out, eh?
No
Is that not patchy?
It is patchy
Yeah, I get little patches
Yeah
That's why I never try to grow it
But I have to keep growing it now
Because I'm so bald and cancer looking
Because if I didn't
Then I look even more cancer like
Yeah, that is true
So you found a tumour
Just there
It's still there can you touch it
touch it can you touch your cancer go for it oh wow it's like a tooth a tooth it's like rock solid
yeah it is rock solid well i yeah so that the thing was i thought it was a cyst for ages and
i was going to burst it myself because they were taking too long oh man you still wouldn't first
you were on cyst would you uh i was desperate it was like two months and they were they were like i was like when are you
going to burst this for me because you you know like i do this because i had a sister moved from
like the same spot up yeah oh there's different like i would never have thought of just getting
me fucking thumbnails together and giving it a good old squeeze i think i think depends on the
cyst as well there's other ones i don't want to you just somebody's just going to be out there
like fucking popping this thing.
But if I pop the tumour,
I wonder what would happen.
So they come in,
took a little bit off it,
took it away.
Well, they were like.
And then just like.
Oh, no.
Then they rang me.
And then they were like,
well, you'll have the thing by Friday.
And then Friday came,
the hunt came.
So I rang yesterday
and they were like,
the person on the phone
just made me sound like I had it.
I said, oh, we can't tell you.
Because if they could tell, you were like, oh, well, if I'm fine,
then a receptionist would go, oh, it's good news, sir.
Yeah, yeah.
Like, look, we'll put you in touch with the doctor when he's ready,
but you can stop worrying now.
Yeah.
She was all cloaked.
That guy's like, I'm sorry, sir.
Yeah, sorry, sir.
Couldn't make eye contact with you.
Over the phone.
She's over the phone and she's just like looking anywhere but at the receiver
holding the phone
at the back of her head
I'm so sorry mister
she just kept going like
ah listen
I've got them right here
in front of me
but I can't say anything
until I chat to your consultant
we need a consultant
to go through this
that is so brutal
to not even give you a tone
and then the consultant came
and I was like
I have to chat to the consultant
and then the consultant goes
yeah you're fine
I go oh you needed that
did you there was like nothing much else bar you didn't need a
medical professional to tell me what he told me then he's like oh yeah you're fine there mr
hamilton you're like hamilton oh oh cullen it's the only red page you're going to need to sit back down if you can
if you can
if you can
yeah we're going to need
you to sit down
so if you're going to hear this
how was your last time
standing up
oh Jesus Christ
so you got some
really good news
well they did tell me
then
oh yeah
it was part of you
like
get in
I'm going to get out
of doing the fringe
absolutely I don't have to deal with going to get out of doing the fringe.
Absolutely.
I don't have to deal with the stress of July of getting my fringe over. I swear to God, if that came on, I would have been like, right.
I would have been way less stressed right now.
Then in September, I might come back and go, all right, now it's bad.
Oh, that would be brutal.
Just like getting the diagnosis just after the fringe.
You're like, fucking come down in July.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What are you doing
do you know
fresh batch of material
now what am I going to do with this
the guy goes to me
by the way
oh I was like
well you take
because of your age
and where it is
we're going to have to
take it out obviously
but
so we'll get that done
within the year
within the year
and I was like
get that done now
I'm not wandering around
for a fucking year
with another head
growing out of me.
That would be the waiting list.
Yeah.
Yeah.
If you had it.
Yeah, yeah.
In a year's time.
They might go like...
When it's already run its course.
Yeah.
Oh, stage four now.
In a year's time,
we're going to have to remove the Ryan from the cancer.
Yeah.
We removed the wrong one.
I'm so sorry.
My mum comes in,
there's just a big tumour in the bed
You're just in like a zip bag
For forensic
I don't know why forensics
Want your cancer in the first place
Forensics
Who did this?
I see
It's got like a zip seal bag
Of your cancer
Forensics for the cancer war
God again
God again
It's his calling card
you know what's really funny
about doing the podcast
with you here
you're doing all the same
things that I do
with Nelson
because I'm the one
in charge of the camera
I'm sat in the wrong seat
right now
I am in the wrong seat
you're fucking spinning me
can we swap seats
I'm in the wrong seat
can we swap
it's fucking freaking us out
that
oh god
I'm sorry I had to put you through that.
To anybody who's watched Absolute Cuts,
to anyone that's watched Let's Know,
that was so off.
I'm so sorry that you just had to watch us
with our shoes on the wrong feet.
And plus, you were doing the thing looking like,
is that fucking red?
Is that recording?
Is that what I did?
I did too.
I couldn't see.
Mark always looks at me and I'm always like...
Sly look.
Yeah, yeah.
Anyway.
There you go.
How about the one
with the tube I know?
Oh,
this is like Freaky Friday
when they run into each other
and swap bodies.
If I push it in,
it pops out the top
of your head.
No,
like whack-a-mole.
Yeah.
I just,
I just push it in
and it pops out
of Danny's.
He pops it in
and goes,
Caelan,
no!
Then just doesn't pop it in for him.
He kind of just popped it back in.
You know the rules.
He just kind of got on, looked his way.
Can't catch him.
Oh, God.
So we've brought back the podcast.
We had a sabbatical.
Oh, yeah.
We thought we'd come back with the cancer news.
Me and Daniel done an episode where we watched our first
not our first
set
but our
earliest recordings
yes okay
there is earlier
recordings out there
in existence
but they're the
earliest we could
dig out at this
point without
ringing relatives
I fucking had my
first recording
you know what I did
I asked the person
somebody recorded
my first gig
and they had it up
on YouTube
and I was like
take that
but never
they deleted it
and I was like
do you have the file and they went nah i have no idea i can't remember it a fucking idiot so you
don't have it no i don't have a long flowing line i had it it was on fucking just the head
the cooks is about to play yeah yeah i was only like a millimeter in size yeah no more than a
blemish that may be a hatred just manifested
so
do you know
we're about to play
we're going to play football
after this right
and
I said that like
you don't know
by the way
and
last week
I had this
and I didn't know
and it was
it was sore
and shit
so I was like
I can't take a ball
to the face
but like
I was fucked
about my lungs
so I was in nets loads
and that's why
I kept
Talking about being like
Boof on
Last week
Was the best
Goalkeeper performance
But really
Because you were just
Protecting your neck
Yeah
Somebody was volleying
And I was like
Boof
They were like
God jeez
You're putting everything
On the line there
And I go
Fucking am
You didn't want to
Burst a tumour
Yeah
I had to know
A full
Yeah
You'd feel like a right dickhead too
Being in the hospital
Going like
What the fuck happened here
And I got football
Got a
I got one to the
Got one to the tumour
So can you like
You know if you took a football
Would it just hurt
Or would like the dormant cancer cells
Fire up
Like just
All of them just wake up
And have a stretch
Like Iron Man
Huh
Like Iron Man
Just waking up
And having a stretch
You know Iron Man
You know that superhero That lazy one know, that superhero, that lazy one.
That's just like, oh, bad guys, isn't it?
Guys up all night in every scene doing maths and shit.
Fuck's sake.
So what I wanted to do with this episode,
instead of us just chatting shit,
which I do enjoy chatting,
but I feel like we could do an hour of this yeah and
it would arguably be more entertaining than what we have planned i tell you just before you about
eugene giving the thumbs up oh you got a thumbs up but dad dad's had a nightmare my dad eugene
give a thumbs up that was his first born kid in the group whatsapp just family just a thumbs up right and then today he wished my sister
her happy birthday not her birthday no better he's having a bad time how long did he miss uh it's it
is this week but it's coming up it's impending yeah he's got july right which was which was it's
a tuesday i might have missed it by a day but i definitely haven't missed it by yeah yeah yeah
he wrote i remember once he was in the bank and he wrote
Emma's age is 16
when she was 24
standing beside him
on the thing
and she was like
I'm 24
I don't live at home
I'm finished university
and he went
oh well what age are you then
and you're like
fuck guy's gone
no
does he
is it because
he's losing his mind
or is it because
he doesn't care
doesn't care
doesn't give a fuck
mind sharp as anything
yeah
he just always
Finishes every crossword
He's so good at that
He's class at darts
Like he's just working
On all the maths
He's a weirdo
Because he's class at quizzes
Like he left school
Because he retains information
Like celebrities dates of birth
Okay
Okay
I do have a bit
A couple of things
Alright
William Defoe
22nd July
Did he actually 1968 You know William Defoe 22nd July did he actually
1968
you know
William Defoe's
birthday
let's check
you just threw
that in there
William Defoe
birthday
if this is right
what did he say
again
22nd July
60s
recorded
so he can't
22nd July
55
so he got the
date right
but not the year
wrong
William Defoe is just like how do you not know how old I am imagine he is the type 22nd of July 55 so you've got the date right but not the year wrong 13 years
it's like
how do you not know
how old I am
imagine
he is the type of guy
that would pop up now
behind my shoulder
the camera just zooms out
and he's sat in the other chair
like fucking
the scene from
Arrested Development
great show
yeah
so this show
sorry
so this show now
what we're going to do we've both got fringe
shows coming up we've both done a couple of previews we've both got a gist of like the
things that we're going to be talking about and the way you get that is yeah you spoil your own
day by writing down the things that are funny that come up right yeah you're like you're having
a conversation with some friends and we're all laughing and instead of just like letting it just be in the moment yeah you fucking run off to the toilet and write that shit down
before it's lost and you don't forget it right and then like anything that comes up you'll put
in your notes in your phone and then when you come to writing your show you decant your notes
this is what person i do on my laptop same yeah and then i'll get this stuff i want to expand and
put in the show and then i'm left with all these like disjointed bits yeah from the notes where like i can't even
remember what the bit is what i was trying to write down all right mine's is labeled as leftover
notes leftover notes that's what it is so what we're gonna do is we're just gonna go through
our leftover phone notes the stuff that like currently isn't in the show but if there's
even a fucking spark of ember in there yeah yeah most of them are like a half baked point
i think that's a good idea but and what inspired us to do this we used we used to do it in the
work in progress shows at summer hall yeah and where we'd get up and like be me you mark nelson
sloss gareth would yeah would really diverse lineup would get up
and do a four notes
right
and because I didn't
meet me hour
of the preview
because it's so far
from the fringe
yeah
I got like
40 odd minutes
right
I was like
I've got 10 minutes
left
I've got these notes
that I've printed out
and I haven't
fucking done anything
with them
I'll go through
a couple of them
a couple of them
are right
and I went in
so yeah
yeah
I did them before
and it actually has
you know met it actually has You know
Met it eventually then
You know
It was shite that I'd never thought of
As I was saying
The big joke
The big joke I have so far
One of the best jokes
For this one
I have sat on it
For four years
In the leftover
And you just thought
It wasn't worth it
No I
I sent it to you guys
Remember
And then fucking
You and moi
Just flipped the ending
And I've been four years
That's why
Them writing sessions
That we do Are so good Because like All it needs Is just a fresh perspective On something I've been four years that's why them writing sessions that we do
are so good
because like
all it needs
is just a fresh
perspective on
something you've
been looking at
that's presumed
dead
yeah
and then
somebody just
comes and moves
an obvious wire
and all of a sudden
it fucking
bursts back to life
and you're like
right there it was
yeah
fuming and delighted
so we are gonna
put it all on the table
we're gonna try
and fix some shit
that's probably dead
yeah yeah yeah
oh god and i just had the preview too so oh i'm great right this is this is something i'll
i'll start with a couple yeah i'll do it we'll do a couple back and forth right yeah the first
one the reason i've seen a couple is because the first one i feel like i've spoke about this on
the podcast before and i've probably written it down because i've been yeah yeah on here um and it's
the fact that i i hate i i hate eye tests because i've constantly got the wrong prescription because
i'm a good guesser yeah yeah yeah there is yeah and the premise is like you're looking at these
like what does that lane say underneath you can see the f yeah and then you're looking at these, like, what does that lane say underneath? You can see the F, right?
And then you're like, could be a U, could be a W.
I'm going to take a punt.
Could be a P, could be a B.
There's already too many Fs.
And you're taking a punt instead of just going, oh, I don't know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're just like, you're just writing off what you think it is.
Yeah.
And if you get that right, that's the glasses you're getting.
Yeah, because you're not supposed to go V. Yep, it's a V. And you're like, yes's the glasses you're getting. Yeah, because you're not supposed to go V.
Yep, it's a V and you're like, yes.
That means you're blind.
I actually did something in me, because my eyes aren't great.
I don't know if you're aware of this, right?
More.
Put on me driving test.
Back in the day, you used to have to Read out the fucking Registration plates
They still make you do it
They still make you
Like point at a car over there
And say can you read
That car registration plate out
Man
I went around
Like half an hour before
And done some memorising
I pure memorised
Like a handful of
Registration plates
Just on the off chance
That my eyes were like
A little bit
Out of range
That's why I have
Used glasses now
I remember I started
Wearing them two years ago Because of the first test I range That's why I have Used glasses now I remember I started wearing them Two years ago
Because of the first test
I went
What's that
And I went
J
He was like
That's an A
And that's a C
And I went
Alright
Oops
And I was like
Oh
And then I fucking
Is there something
That has not in registration plates
I can't say I've ever seen an I
In a reg
That's hard to
I don't know
I don't think there's an I
There must be
There's definitely L's
So it's not like
They've took it out
Because it clashes with the L
Yeah
Because they're all capitals
You never get lower case registration numbers
Do you?
Umlaut
I don't think they're clashing
Umlaut
Trying to fucking phone the police
Reading it out
The double S
You know the
Germany as well
The The like line down You're sitting there Dollar sign It's like It looks like a dollar sign Fucking phone the police Reading it out The double S You know the Germany as well The
The like line down
You're sitting there
Dollar sign
It's like
It looks like a dollar sign
Do you know what I'm talking about
Maybe yeah
Heiss
I do
I do
I do the
Mail outs for the
The dad
If anybody signs up
On dad tier
They get
They get a signed poster
And I have to do
The addresses
Okay
Because Daniel doesn't do that shit
they could probably
guess that
Daniel's not sitting
writing the envelopes
out for the dad posters
he would never
and Daniel Grace
shout out to Daniel Grace
jolly lad
who lives in
Czech Republic
Czech Republic
Czech yeah
do you say Czech Republic
anymore
no obviously not
because all the commentators
have made a big deal
about it in the Euros
yeah I've missed that
what happened
yeah I didn't get the memo
they split again how small is our country in the Republic yeah I've been I missed that what happened yeah I didn't get the memo they split again
how small is our country
in the Republic anymore
splitting and splitting
it was just Daniel's house
basically like a Russian doll
so Daniel's great
so I was like
trying to put on
all the different
like
because fucking
the check
putting our little
dashes on top
and I'm reading again
does it matter
though
like
is the post
are you going to be baffled
I don't know is there a different address that's just got the dash on the e the other way
yeah can we just do away with all that muck all that foreign muck
not that foreign shit just be asked only times new roman english please
that so do you like it yeah i reckon that There is I reckon there might be
Something there
I'm trying to think of it
Though because like
Yeah
It's just lying
It's like pride
It's like I'm not fucking
I'll show you I'm not blind
And then completely
Ruining your life
It's the competitive element
Why am I trying to compete
With a chart
Why am I trying to win
The chart
Did I fail
What was my score
Did I beat my mates
And I did a protection book
And you just kind of
Have a look at Colin got
the same score as me
on the on the thing
just come out with
fucking did he go on
one of the kid ones
yeah I got on that
thing where it just
fucking blows a bit
of air you're looking
at a hot air balloon
oh yeah yeah yeah
like fuck are you
playing that yeah
square goalie yeah
fuck are you just
blowing me out you
little cunt
I also feel like
if they're trying
to make you test something
it shouldn't be
it's always a
hot air balloon
they're looking in the distance
but like
you would never miss
one of them in real life
blind or not
there
you'd be like
what's that over there
is that a smudge
on the sky
smudge on the fucking sky
yeah
I think like
when I got it
she was like your left eye is
shite it was essentially she she was like there's a dot in there that's could be cancerous i'm
thinking about it now that's another one fucking riddled they were like there's like a spot because
like if it doesn't seem like it's doing anything but we'll let you know if it does and i go but
i don't get my eyes tested much do you know like i felt like in my head i was like do you mean do
you mean i have to come back every three months to check?
It was like, oh, is your glasses not working?
Not, this is for cancer.
This is having a good look.
Man, I took down the tone of it.
I was trying to have fun with me bit, I'm guessing.
Anyway, so my...
No, I'm joking.
Imagine you're doing it.
Because you know when the guy, is it better or is it worse?
And, like, sometimes I just don't know
like I don't want
to be making decisions
I'd rather you
looked at me eye
and then based on
me eye
got me prescription
like if you're saying
better or worse to me
I'm like
what I've got written
down here
and I don't even ask
this is a good analogy
but sometimes I'll be
doing that guy
and oh this lamb's lovely
and my wife will be like
it's beef
and I'm like
I can't even tell
the difference
between lamb and beef
how the fuck am I
meant to choose
my own glasses they all come from sheep that's
all i know yeah if you have to see great way if you yeah that's right if you how would you know
right what clear is is that better if your actual natural thing is not clear
i don't know i've got this thing with me glasses right you have a Michael
I just like the emoji
when I take me glasses
up and down
when I'm watching
because I wish I could do that
with my current lenses
but it would just be too much
because you can
when you know
when you're watching telly
you go up and down
and right
you can actually do like
oh my god
I'm playing as a bat
like
right eye
oh my god
I can see the telly now
and then
on my left eye i lift them up
and i'm like crystal clear right slightly blurrier okay but bigger okay close up with blurrier
crystal clear further away and i'm like i don't know what's better or worse they're both they're
both better at one thing and then worse At another thing Yeah yeah Like
It's like one of your legs
Is good at running
And the other one
Is good at kicking
The better or worse
It depends what I'm doing
Am I fighting or getting
Fighting or flight
Fighting or flight
Which one am I doing
I'll tell you
If it's better or worse
I hated that thing though
By the way
They used to tell you
When you're running
Like if you're doing like
You know track running
They were like
Make sure every Like fourth or fifth lap you change and go the other
way because your muscles will get stronger on one side and i was just like in my head i was like
fuck off it's so incremental that it wouldn't yeah you need to be running specifically one way
and also let's train and be better on the way that i'm going to be running on the race
i don't want to be the only one that's like class in a straight line
but fucking lopsided on the...
You're doing a 5k and in the middle of the race
you're just sprinting, turning the other way,
turning and everybody else racing.
Turn!
Your muscles!
The Olympics is on, isn't it?
It's like 20 days or something.
Nobody gives a fuck because of the Euros.
I remember one fringe I took off 2012
because I thought the Olympics was going to clash with it.
I was like, oh, it's going to be like this year,
the fringe is going to be 2012.
I guess it was at London, though.
Okay, right.
I guess the fucking middle classes were money
who would come to the arts festival,
got an alternative.
So I made it I had a point
I don't think it's
going to clash with Paris
there's never been
a thought in my mind
nah nah
that's going to happen
so anyway
that was my bit
on eyes
I don't know
I thought there was
more in that than
I think there's
something in it
aye
because I mean
it is a good point
I feel like it's also
not been touched on
I don't know
I can't think of
the funny part of it
it's musing at the moment.
The funny bit might be the exasperation.
Yeah, yeah.
It might be that it's not punchline heavy.
It's just the leg.
Yeah.
It's just the guy.
Like, fucking, what are you asking me for?
Don't put me in a position of authority.
Yeah, yeah.
You're the fucking medical.
I don't know what I was about to say.
The medical jabroni.
The medical jabroni.
You've been listening to too much Kendrick Lamar. You fucking call everyone jabroni. The medical jabroni, you've been listening to too much Kendrick Lamar.
You fucking can't have jabronis.
It's jabroni.
It's a good word.
Bozo.
Well, I had one about, I was trying to figure out that my, right,
basically the note I have written down was that my uncle was a hunger striker,
but he died after one day because he was diabetic.
As in he couldn't get his Mars bars
I can't think of
He needed the sugar
He had a
Yeah he needed
He needed a sugar spike
I don't know
It's not funny
Unless you knew that
He wanted Dian to be a hunger striker
But knew he wouldn't
Last a day
See this is
I never figured it out
My dad did a
My dad did a hunger strike
Was he a dad?
It doesn't really matter
Uncle, dad
I think
I think that's an important part of the joke Is like who the person is to you We'll go with dad Go with your dad? It doesn't really matter Uncle, dad I think I think that's an important
Part of the joke
Is like who the person is to you
We'll go with dad
Go with your dad
We'll go with dad
The hedge blocks
Did you have a thing
Where like a lot of stuff
Was your grandad
Was in different ways
That died
And it was like
You started scratching your head
How many grandads
Somebody put their hand up
And he was counting
He said there was seven
Seven grandads
Yeah
So let's say
he had a hunger strike
so just a
he died after one day
he died
so what were you like
I had another part of it there
as well in brackets
I don't know if it's going to help anything
but it was a hunger striker
my dad was a hunger striker
he really hated that movie
I went to be striking outside the movie Hunger
Hunger Games
no no
there's a massive
big Bobby Sands film
called Hunger
we fucking
tell us what Bobby Sands is again
you've told us this before
it's a hunger striker
it's Bobby Sands
not the thing that you shout
over the town
if there's like an emergency
and you don't want to
alert the public
alright Bobby Sands
is in the building
don't not if you start shouting Bobby Sands is in the building don't not
if you start shouting
Bobby Sands
is in the building
people will start panicking
it was Mr. Sands
or something
wasn't it
Mr. Sands
contact reception
it was something
really
so he's like
Bobby Sands
is Angela's brother
that's Sands
that's Angela Sands
at the bar
you know why
fuck Angela if you know why fuck Angela
if you know her brother
fucking bad
imagine you're waiting
at the bar
and her name's Angela
yeah
you're like
will everybody
stop getting us
it's like the 20th
time today
what
everybody's just
continuously molested
because she can't
deal with it
yeah whatever
the manager just keeps thinking the manager's getting
suspicious thinking angela has given me free drinks because every time they're getting saved
they're like can i get saved off angela and just like honestly i'm not i'm not giving them free
drinks i don't know what they want i've got no idea what they want all fuck off all women it's weird
all women and richard gard oh fucking hell
yeah i don't think
there's much to that
bar that
uh yeah okay so
the the i don't
personally i think if
you do that on stage
where it's written it
doesn't pack a punch
no it's where it's
never been tried
so it's like i don't i like i'm a kind of quoting you here it's written it doesn't pack a punch no that's why it's never been tried so it's like i
don't like i'm kind of quoting you here it's gonna cost you this um i think like if you add a layer
to it like what what are they striking for and like well they could it could be something that
like is uh it's like a war of attrition kind of strike like you would say because yeah I probably went that way
that's why I try to think
of the movie
Hunger
but I was like
nobody
it's a big film
and nobody knows
the movie Hunger
like it's too specific
if it was a fucking
yeah
Hunger Games is funnier
so we'll
leave
the Hunger Games
Hunger Games strike
yeah
anyway
what do we have else
so we'll leave that one on the shelf for now we have
shelves this will be shelf half these will be shelf for you oh yes well like get in touch with
any of us if you've got tags yeah yeah these are these are dead what else you have okay so this is
this is a good one to speak to one of the cuts guys okay because uh it was you know when i was
watching the five all the predator movies. Like in chronological order.
Yeah.
So I watched From Prey first.
Great.
Which, Prey best, Predator second best, downhill drastically after that.
I love Predators.
You know what?
I liked it.
I didn't mind any of them because they are what they are.
I liked Predators with Adrian Brody.
I thought Adrian
this is what I've got
yeah
so far I've watched
five of the Predator movies
and so far
they've lost
every single time
humans are 5-0
that's true
I don't think
there was a single
Predator on that
right as room
I mean it was Hollywood
so there probably was
I think everyone
sees it
I'm sorry
I'm in that's it I think that's it I'm sorry I'm in
that's it
I think that's
fucking funny
straight off
no notes your honour
where do you put it
I don't know
it's just so funny
where do you put it
like
is it just between bits
I'm doing a show
about travel
and about
responsibility
Guatemala
unless you've been
to the Guatemalans
so I mean
it could be that like,
it could be that
I just fucking
throw in a little bit
of the majority
of travels,
boring,
and you end up
just sitting in airports
and fucking watching movies.
There's so much soul there.
So you could
grab your crowbar
and fucking fit it
into travel
that you're fucking
binge watching
all the Predator films.
So there could be
a place for it somewhere,
but it would be like
a little aside to the main narrative.
Yeah, yeah.
And this is just an additional note that I've kept up
as I was going with these five Predator movies, right?
The first defeat in the 1800s was by the Native Americans.
Man, on their home soil, they know the land.
You don't know what you're coming to expect, right?
Fucking Native Americans.
Like, you've got all the technology. that home soil they know the land right you don't know what you're coming to expect right fucking Native Americans like
yeah
you've got all the technology
they're using fucking
wood and bits of yarn
and all that
like you probably
shouldn't have lost that one
but
home
away game
away game
you're just
practice as well
should win with a punchless chance
right
the next one
was a marine
the best of the best
Arnold Schwarzenegger
yeah
big lads
all of them
big lads all of them big
lads a team of marines actually like fucking one of them that got you but fuck me that'll
have a little pop at you yeah yeah right in the jungle yeah yeah it gets the best of the best
yeah the jungle right yeah they learned and then a beat cop
in new york city daddy Glover As a beat cop Yeah
He should have only been
Danny Glover
Like come on
Two down
This is the trilogy
The trilogy
I've got to make this one count
Fucking beat cop
You've got to get the better
Of Danny Glover
Fucking hell
Danny Glover's career
Got the better of Danny Glover
He was already
Too old for this shit
At that point
As he kept saying
In his movies
Around about that time
Yeah Yeah And then I can't remember Which one this one was too old for this shit at that point as he kept saying in his other movies around about that time yeah
yeah
and then
I can't remember
which one this one was
Predators is the one
on an alien planet
Scientist got him
the next time
it was a scientist
okay right
is that the one
where it's on the alien planet
no
the one on the alien planet
was a
a spin off
kind of one
with Adrian Brody
and they
they grabbed like
a Yakuza
and a guy from a
Chechnyan war camp
And they dropped him
Onto the plane
Like a survival
And Topher Grace
Was like a serial killer
Doctor
They thought he was
A normal doctor
And then Predators
Which is the biggest
Letdown of all
I was waiting for
Because that's
Shane Gillan
Writing it
He wrote the first one
Is that the one
With Cain Peel
One of
Yes
Yes Hated that And Lily Allen's brother Hated it I'm disrespecting he wrote the first one is that the one with Cain Peel one of yes yes
hated that
and Lily Allen's brother
hated it
I'm disrespecting
all these artists
yeah
in fairness
that was
Alfie Allen
aye
and Boyd Holbrook
or whatever
aye that was
so that one
Boyd Holbrook right
so I've got scientists down
for the
fourth one
hmm
which would have been might have been one of the Alien vs. Predators movies
because I did count them in.
She wasn't a scientist.
He was in a lab and everything in that fifth one.
I think it was the one that you just mentioned there.
It was a nine-year-old boy with autism brought him down.
That's the boy.
Native American Marine beat cop
scientist
nine year old
with autism
yeah
that's right
the predator
the predator
the predator
was autism
at least like
on the last one
they made
they just went
alright pray
alright pray now
how can you have
a nuclear bomb
strapped to your arm
and also just lose
to a guy doing Lego
I can't get him
he's got his
he's got his
yeah
he's got his beat
he finds his fucking
helmet and shit
do you know what you're
saying there
that's funny about
the predator by the way
in the room
but aliens
they beat aliens as well
you know when alien
comes to the alien
versus predator films
I'm trying to think of a joke
you're like predators
in the room
and you'll be like
there's aliens too
they were doing the cleaning.
There's aliens in the writer's room as well,
I mean the bins.
They'll all be sent back home now
after Trump's teaming up.
That's so stupid.
Fucking alien predators.
But I think like,
probably for a podcast,
you can break down the defeating of the alien
by the different people right
yeah
because it's niche as fuck
that's great
big fan
but just saying
the humans are 5-0
I don't think there's any
printers in the writing room
that's a joke isn't it
yeah
yeah
that's great
5-0
that's right
they've lost every single one
and they also set every game
set the rules.
New rules this time.
You're on our planet.
Adrian Brody managed to get off the alien planet.
He couldn't get off Earth.
Yeah, that's right.
He wasn't even flinching.
He didn't even bring a ship.
He looked up at one stage in the movie
and he looks out and there's like three moons
and he just goes,
well, looks like we're
is that the one way
you'll have to deal
with this is that the
one way you get under
the ship's um shield
yes it's like
somebody goes up and
it comes yeah yes
yes the shield and
cuts the predator in
half i think so i
one of them one of
them one of the many
deaths this one's more
of a,
I think,
you know Sylvia Plath?
Mm-mm.
No?
She's a famous poet
that she killed herself
before Norton.
Okay.
Very famous.
So everybody else
will know who she is.
Yes, I feel like.
Especially at the Fringe.
Yeah, definitely.
So like,
you learn about her
in school and everything.
Yeah.
And Paul was saying like Margaret Atwood
I don't know who that is
I just assumed that was a poet
Is it not?
Is it not?
It'd be great if that was like
It's great if you're just dropping out names
That are completely
Like Lucy Pinder
Is Margaret Atwood not the author who wrote the
What's that?
Oh I hate doing this.
I hate making me podcast listeners scream at the podcast.
Oh, I don't know.
I don't know.
I'm too stupid.
That series where the women are kind of held hostage.
Suffragettes.
And used for breeding.
Handmaid's Tale.
Handmaid's Tale.
Is that who wrote Handmaid's Tale?
Probably.
That sounds good.
Just keep screaming
At the podcast
There's nothing you can do
There's nothing you can do
About it
That's great
I just said
She's famous for
Killing herself with the oven
She killed herself
With the oven right
And I was saying
The sad part about it
Is that she would have
Had to preheat it
That would be
Real miserable
Preheating the oven
To kill herself
In the oven
I just feel like
That would be
Did she kill herself In the oven Aye Because yourself in the oven. I just feel like that would be... Did she kill herself in the oven?
Aye.
Because in a gas oven?
I presume it's gas, yeah.
Yeah.
Rather than burning her.
But not burning her.
So the joke is
she preheated the oven first
and then scorched her head
rather than breathing in the fuse.
I mean, I'm not...
I don't think it's ever going to go well.
I don't think this one will ever...
What year did she...
Fuck, I have no idea when she was...
Oh, that's right, when was it?
And she did it in the gas oven.
1963.
1963.
In Primrose Hill in London.
I don't know how she fit that fucking head in the oven.
Oh, that's a nice do, that.
That's a nice do.
That's a really...
You wouldn't want to mess that up.
Yeah.
I hope she cleaned the oven first before putting her hair.
You don't want to fucking grease in that hair. Would you you clean the oven first before putting her hair. You don't want to fucking
grease in that hair.
Would you not,
yeah,
would you not,
if they pulled her out,
they were like,
fuck,
at least the oven's clean now.
Everything's stuck to,
they were so bad,
chicken wedges,
like some loose wedges
stuck in her hair.
There's little ends of chips,
you know.
I've been doing,
you see,
I think it is
because I was trying to write bits about,
I've been doing like a lot of,
like, right, I had a joke in this thing that's a new, basically, I might be in the show. It went well in the work, I've been doing You see I think it is Because I was trying to write bits about I've been doing like a lot of Like Right
I had a joke in this thing
That's in the
Basically
It might be in the show
It went well
In the work in progress
About basically like
I'm going to Amsterdam
You know
Because it's famous
You know
Amsterdam
You're going to Amsterdam
Because it's famous
Famous for its whores
You know
Like Anne Frank
Don't call them that
On the podcast
Yeah
Yeah
I call them whores Like Anne Frank right And I was like Don't call them that on the podcast. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I call them whores like Anne Frank, right?
And I was like, there's nothing to that joke.
Just want to call it that.
Like Anne Frank.
Do the joke again from the top.
Yeah, the joke was basically, yeah, I'm going to Amsterdam, you know,
you're famous for its whores, you know, like Anne Frank.
It just gets a big laugh.
And then I'm like, there's absolutely nothing to that.
That's like the least smart joke. I just want to shit on historical people.
So Sylvia Plath, the other one.
So you wanted to put that in a section.
So you've already got the Anne Frank joke working.
That works.
I had one about Mark Twain.
Because Mark Twain used to, he has a thing saying like, you know,
you'll always regret, you know, the chances you don't take in life.
And he said that. Oh, is that him? Yeah. From and he's from the office anonymous yeah i think so yeah and he said
that like just after he wrote huckleberry finn where he wrote the n-word 200 times and he's white
i think it's connected yeah i'll be broken yeah yeah there's like 208 n-words in huckleberry finn
and he's white And I reckon that
Quote is related to it
Great
I'm never doing it on stage
You're not going to do it
Nah it's too weak
In my head
It's funny
Yeah
To make them think of the N word
Yeah
Yeah
I already have
An N word joke as well
And it's
So you're not going to do
The Sylvia Platt
Is it Platt
I don't think so
Platt
Sylvia Platt
I don't know There's not to it just
preheating the oven people will know her and they'll and if you know her as well you definitely
know about the oven thing it's like it's like knowing who paul walker is but not
not hearing about the car he died in what
well this is he was a pedo That was a good one Shut up
Paul Walker's like
Speaking ill of the dead like that
Yeah
Did he actually
Yeah yeah
His girlfriend was like 16
When he died
Honestly
Everybody just kind of goes
Oh man
Yeah yeah
Paul Walker's
Fast and the Furious as well
You're like
For some reason that checks
Mark Sinclair's a bad man as well isn't he
Mark Sinclair That's Vin man as well, isn't he?
Mark Sinclair,
that's Vin Diesel's real name. Is it?
Just like calling him by his real name.
That's horrible. I like dead naming Vin Diesel.
That's horrible. I don't even know why that's horrible, but it is.
You know what's horrible about it? That's a
fucking hench baldy man called
Mark Sinclair that went,
I'm going to go by Vin Diesel.
Everyone from this day must call me Vin Diesel.
That's what's icky about it.
Nobody give him that name.
Anybody who picks their own fucking nickname.
That's right.
Nobody stopped him.
And then my mother seen him and went.
I spent a fringe trying to get everyone to call us Thunder Tongue.
And I had it on all my passes and just be like,
I'm Thunder Tongue now.
Never stuck. Never. Never call us Thunder Tongue, and I had it on all my passes, and just be like, I'm Thunder Tongue now. Never stuck.
Never stuck.
Thunder Tongue.
Natalie called us it ironically.
That's a very...
I've had many.
I was Sponge.
Sponge Cullen.
Wiener.
Wiener, until we found out you had a big dick.
Because we just assumed you had a little wiener,
so we called you Wiener,
and then we saw it and we're like,
oh, that's that name gone.
I'm glad I got to kill that one.
There were a couple more, wasn't there?
Snunky.
Snunky.
Snake monkey.
Snake monkey, yeah.
Because you're like a cheeky little monkey
that's fucking devious and deceitful.
Snunky.
Uncle Snunks.
And we added uncle to it then,
just to add an extra layer of...
Yeah, I was behind all of these.
All of them stuck.
I'm pretty sure, yeah.
Yeah, I still
Heavily nicknamed you
Oh fuck it
What are you talking about
The fucking one I get everywhere
The fucking
Ba ba ba ba baldy
Ba ba ba baldy
Every time
Ba ba ba ba nine
Somebody
Ba ba ba
I look like I have two bald heads now
I'm growing another bald
I'm so bald
You're like the Mitchell brothers
Yeah
Is that Matt Lucas
Hanging off that dude
Yeah anyway Here I get this one This is just something that happened You're like the Mitchell brothers? Is that Matt Lucas hanging off that dude?
Yeah, anyway.
Here, I'll get this one.
This is just something that happened.
All right.
He's killed bride at McDonald's.
Okay. And I went, can I have three chicken slates, please?
He just went a bit quiet on the mic and then come back over and went,
we've only got five.
Can you just tell us that one more time? He's like, we've only got five. Can you just tell us that one more time?
He's like, we've only got five.
I was like, can I have three of them?
And he was like, the only common threes and fives.
I was like, I'll have five chickens and leeks the night away.
I got away with five.
I just thought there was something in it.
It's on its own
That's it
That's what happened
It made us laugh
And I voiced my word
To my wife
And told her about it
And she was laughing
And returning
Yeah yeah
I was like
It could be a bit
Might not be a bit
It is funny
Again
I can see why
You've noted it
It's funny in itself
It's got nowhere to go
That's it
Yeah
But I can see why it's there
But it's
It's a tiny little dead end
yeah yeah yeah
that would be hard
to back up out of
like why have you said this
yeah yeah
that's right
if it goes anywhere
anyway
anyway chocolate bars
I always
it means is that
my mate went through KFC
and then
he went
just let you know
we've got no chicken
and he just let it go
like a heads up
you know what I'm saying
yeah yeah
he was like what do you mean you've got no chicken in your KFC and then he just like a heads up. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. He was like,
what do you mean you've got no chicken
in your KFC?
And then he just come back and went,
yeah,
what else we meant to run out of?
Fugs.
What else we meant to run out of?
That's great.
Two little exchanges.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
On the make and the drive-thru.
I just say
They are funny
They're both funny
Yeah yeah
Individually funny
What am I going to do
With these
It's like
It's like when you
Fucking finish making
An Ikea
And you've just got
Two little bits left
And you're like
I hope these aren't important
Yeah yeah yeah
But in fact
The three out of five
Is ridiculous
That they wouldn't
Give you anything
It's not like
You're asking for
Like if you're not
Going into Primark
And going
Can I have one of those
Pair of socks
Like one of the socks
From the pair
It doesn't
Like it doesn't really
Work like that
Yeah
It's like the
When people
When the riots were on
People were going
Steal the display shoe
You didn't steal
The other one
The other one shoe
Like the
They never put two shoes
On display When you're making The display shoe That's great Like you've got one shoe like this they never put two shoes on display
when you're nicking
a display shoe
that's great
like there may be
something
maybe as if you could
just bunch a bunch
of stuff like that
together
that could be like
a good trigger
happy bit
or it could be like
part of a bit
about like
you're not going to get
a great deal of initiative
from
like as soon as people
start showing initiative
in these level of jobs yeah they're gone because they'll get a better job they'll move up the line
they'll apply for something else they're gone it don't last very long so you're always going to get
in these jobs you're going to get the little bit of no initiative yeah but then again not even that
like even that is a longer bit isn't quite just derogatory for no reason yeah i don't know what
the bit is i don't know what the bit is i don't
know what the bit is that that's a part of yeah what's the point bar amusement the only point
really is this is amusing there's a little aside i like it though i don't mind an aside but it
normally has to have like a look again it's like it's in working order it's just on the shelf yeah
yeah yeah yeah but there's definitely something in's definitely something in not being able to give someone
free things when you have five
because you only sell it in five.
It's in one of my ideas too.
Yeah, yeah.
I can't really fuck Al with a two.
I'm going to sell you this as a five.
I'm sure you'll survive McDonald's.
Yeah.
McDonald's went bust.
McDonald's went bust.
That's what I was going to say.
Some rude...
That's what I'm on the fucking news.
Some rude Geordie cunt
fucked us.
Now nobody's going to do it.
Somebody always spoils it.
Yeah.
They always say that McDonald's are always really bugging up the fact that they put people through college.
Did you ever see that, no?
No.
Maybe I'm the only person.
Maybe I'm the only people that reads the literature in McDonald's.
They're always like.
They put little community magazines out
We pay for college
They're like
Ooh a new one
Ooh it's a new quarter
I think they pay for loads of courses
For their staff to do
If they're there
If you stay for like
A couple of years
They'll help you out
With like
About a university
You can work your way all the way
To the top corner of McDonald's
If you can start out
You can end up being the clown
That's so funny
you went from
CEO to clown
well go
you're in the big box
you've done a really
good job of saying
you're Ronald
now
I go back
does it pay him
oh pay
yeah
what do you need
it's not just a clown
now it's prestige
oh you need
you know what
you're no deserved
to be Ronald McDonald
you're fired
pay No, no, you're just a clown now. It's prestige. Oh, you need, you know what? You don't deserve to be Ronald McDonald. You're fired.
Pay.
I don't even know why you joined this company.
I've been there for 15 years.
Imagine trying to explain that to your,
you come back to your wife,
lost her job,
trying to explain it.
I wouldn't take the clown.
And then she's a knight too
What do you mean
You wouldn't be
Ronald McDonald
I'd love to fuck
Ronald McDonald
Wife I've been with you
This whole time
I stood by you
Through the five
Chicken select things
I met you in McDonald's
Fuck it Al
Yeah
What you got
This one
Right
This one is shite
But
It's impossible to eat 100% of a croissant,
but there's a 100% chance I'll pronounce it differently the next time.
Right, I'll tell you something.
I'll let you in on a little secret.
That is laugh.
I don't know why.
I don't know why I'm laughing.
Because the joke's about nobody pronounces
croissant
croissant
croissant
so there's no need
for the first part
no
it's impossible
to eat 100%
of a croissant
you held me hand
to the punchline
and then I looked around
and the person
holding me hand
was gone
and it's like
where
how did I get here
I swore there was a
I swore there was a feed line that I was holding onto.
That's no relevant swear.
There's no more to that, by the way.
No work, please.
Yeah, basically the joke there is basically nobody,
I'll pronounce croissant.
I don't even think I've done it there.
Croissant.
Croissant.
No, I can't go.
Croissant. I just keep saying croissant. Croissant. I can't go Croissant Croissant
She just keeps saying croissant
Croissant

Oh there was something
At Bar
I've always had
Hardline stance
With I'm saying Barcelona
Like look
You're going to say
Barcelona
But I'm not lifting
My way through
Barcelona
For you
Yeah yeah
I feel like you're Mocking them Right but I'm from Barcelona The minute someone Says Ibiza I'm like Lisping my way Through Barcelona For you Yeah yeah I feel like you're
Mocking them
Right but
The minute someone
Says Ibiza
I'm like
It's Ibiza
Yeah alright
It's Ibiza
What are you doing
Lisping on nothing
Yeah yeah
Like
Okay
Do you know what
I'm pretty sure
I've got a double standard
With Barcelona
And Ibiza
I'm pretty sure
I call it Ibiza
Sometimes
Yeah
I'm just fair enough
Fair enough
Look at you
I'm not joking I'm not Fair enough. Look at you. I'm not joking.
Look at you.
Look at you.
Do another.
This one was just a note.
It said,
like,
I tried to join the gym.
A gym.
Oh,
my God.
We just pronounce
everything differently.
Try to buy
a Simpsons,
a game.
Game.
Yeah.
I tried to join the gym
and I was told that.
You still said gym. Stop told I had Stop saying gym
Stop saying gym
That's how
Gymnasium
I can't even pronounce the thing right
That's how little I've been
So I joined the gym
Was told I had terrible form
And that was before I changed
Just somebody there You didn't even specify it was a pt like
the trial yeah yeah yeah you've got terrible form yeah during the induction induction is probably
the induction i got told i had terrible form during the induction yeah i didn't even change
no i don't know it's just funny just to tell having bad form
like it's
it's too vague
on what you mean
as the second
kind of form
because like
I think it would only
work with you guys
because you look at me
like an alien
yeah somebody
that just doesn't
you constantly joke about
it looks like an alien
yeah
so like a form
like a
like a
I think that would land
and other people
are just like
like you say would be just like what do you mean by the kind of what the fuck just kind of oh you've got bad form like a like a I think that would land and other people are just like like you say
would be just like
what do you mean
by kind of
what the fuck
just kind of
oh you've got bad form
be like
I'm not a shapeshifter
yeah yeah
this is my only form
yeah yeah
I tried
yeah
so you can always
go along them lines
of just go like
how many forms
do you think I can
I'm not a
I'm not a druid
in D&D
I can't wild shape
this could have been a malteser just think of it like marlon brando i'm trying to do godfather
yeah you could do godfather but it's just like slip right around the back he's just speaking
normally and he's like cotton buds did he put cotton in his mouth i imagine it was balls of
cotton oh yeah well i thought it was balls of cotton. Oh,
yeah,
well,
I thought it was Maltesers,
but obviously you're not around Maltesers.
Marlon Brando did not put Maltesers in his mouth.
I'm so sure it's Maltesers.
There's no way he would have been able to get to his scene
without swallowing them.
I don't even know their...
There's no way Marlon Brando has the willpower.
This is why,
this is the only reason why.
There's no way he had the willpower.
It's so how he was with women.
The chocolate's wearing off. It's so how he was with women. The chocolate's wearing off.
It's just getting honey,
not honeycomb,
but that stuff in the middle.
The malt.
The malt.
Is that what it is?
Just call it a malt.
Man, I'm not doing well today.
Game.
I don't know who that fucking Atwood one was either.
I mean, I still don't know if that fucking Atwood one was either nah I mean I still
don't know if I got it
right
well
okay
I don't know if
there's anything in
this right
but I wrote down
I miss old school
Christmas shopping
when you could buy
films and music
I'd get my dad to
rush out to David Day
and my mom the
Gabrielle CD
now I have to buy
them V-Bucks
so they can get
Fortnite dances
oh god
Jesus Christ and the joke's just about everything going digital but the reveal is lcd now i have to buy them v books so they can get fortnite dances oh god jesus christ
and the joke's just about everything going digital but the reveal is that my mom and dad
are into that stuff i mean do you know i think fucking v books as well as funny it is funny
buying v books in fairness it's a funny i think it's still a funny comedy word it is it's very
v book yeah v books is like I think it carries a lot of sadness
in Fortnite dances
yeah
like people
kind of
people who know
exactly what they are
people that know
what they are
passively through children
exactly
that are in their life
in teenagers
yeah even footballers
there's the Fortnite dances
people are sports
doing the dances
and it does
it does sound like
very boomer
coming from somewhere
my age
to say V-Bucks and Fortnite dances like it's like um actually i'm gonna link this to another note that
i've got right i'm not even gonna look at it because you're like i think i think i know what
it is it's like when i turned 40 i got this superpower that i didn't even know i had and
that can just end trends immediately like that by just joining in on them like i called a meme dank once and
you've never heard of me and get called dank since like that stopped that was me i'm drunk with power
if you want us to say raise i'll do it you want us to say raise i'll go for it please man you've
got some fucking crack and raise you kid like he's gone raise is gone that's it it's over you said
that like it was the wild west too back in Riz
you there kid
I think Riz
is putting in
putting in old school terms
like
hey
give me all your V-bucks
your Riz
your Riz is on fleek
like ended
done
done
done
dead
jeez
do you think you could get
a massive job
you know like
in movies they always like
if you're a good hacker like they hire you always like the CIA or something do you think you could get a massive job You know like In movies they always like If you're a good hacker
Like they hire you always
Like the CIA or something
Do you think you're going to get hired by like
Somebody wants to get rid of like
Rihanna's clothing range
Start wearing it
Get Kai in that
The opposite yeah
Get Kai in Rihanna's
Kardashian's ringing you up
Yeah
Stop wearing that
You're fucking up my range
You're like
You're trying to get me to buy
But if you did McDonald's
Now it is
Hold on I was saying that I was My idea was The opposite company you're fucking up my brain but if you did McDonald's now this hold on
I was saying
my idea was
the opposite company
would pay you
to wear
but yours is
you would basically
blackmail them
go straight to Rihanna
I'm wearing your clothes
until you fucking pay me
did not
Rihanna
just as when I say this
I've got no ulterior motive
I feel like I look good in these
I look good in this range
this is me
you made this for me
that's great
I think like
there is something
a little bit tragic
in admitting that
you're in trends
but there's also
something self-aware
and going
oh like I can't join in
on saying Riz
yes
like there's people
out there doing it
I'd rather you just know that I'm aware that those words aren't for me and I am also like, I can't join in on saying Riz. Yes. Like, there's people out there doing it. I'd rather you just know that I'm aware
that those words aren't for me,
and I am also aware that I can fucking just throw one in
and end it immediately.
I only know, like, Matt Rife and Elliot
is the only people I've ever heard say Riz.
Elliot keeps referring to attractive women as buff.
Yeah, that's so funny.
And buff is already taken.
It means hench.
Yeah.
Buff already means
Like muscular
So you
The thing you're describing
You're describing it
With the wrong word
Because you're painting a picture
Yeah
It made me think
Buff day as well
Which is just a homophobic slur
You know
You're like
What are you doing
So he was like
Oh she's buff
And I was like
Jesus calm down
Like David Batty
Lived in the right decade
Didn't he
Oh man
If he was playing football
Ten years later The new Gary Speed Have you got Batty In your fantasy he lived in the right decade didn't he oh man if he was born if he was playing football 10 years
later the new gary speed have you got batty in your fantasy have you got batty in your fantasy
in your dreams in your dream team great um so um yeah like maybe it's the like i don't know if
that's got something in it yeah like a buy buying digital but like for your parents and then but then like the end the end of the the other bit
that i've got i mean notice they've been able to end trends i think there's something in that and
i can't yeah yeah i can't do that if like anybody at any point can do something about the age they
are now there's always something in the age you are that will either relate to other people or
just make people who are older than you mad yes man you know when you see that we're watching danny's old clip and he was he
called someone in the audience 31 old oh did he yeah he was sat there as a 34 year old watching
so you can't don't age with air like so there's a couple of things that i can put on that like
general premise and one of them is when I fell over
and my friend didn't laugh
yeah
he checked I was okay first
oh no
devastating bit of
like news
have you told
have we told you about
Waa doing that at football
no
first day of football
in this five-a-side
he went and did a
to do the warm-up
you know
he did a big leg swing
on his boots
and just fucking Back flipped
And nobody laughed
Everybody went
Are you okay
Is he alright
It was about
Yeah then
And then we laughed
But like yeah
Well that makes me feel better
Because I'm fucking
Eight years older than Mo
But at least he was doing
Contact support
I just slipped
Yeah alright okay
Oh no
He was a fool
Oh he had a fall
Oh yeah
Oh no
You had a fall
He didn't fall over
He had a fall
Yeah He's had a moment Yeah A't fall over you had a fall yeah
he's had a moment
yeah
moments are great
where do you put it
so
I'm not going to dig
into my notes
because the notes there
the
oh that bit
that's on age
is like
realisation
of like
the generation you're in
I remember a time
I'm just going to tell you
this conversation
I remember a time
when there was no
shower gel what can you was no shower gel.
What?
Can you remember before shower gel?
Man.
No, what are you talking about?
Man, there was just not long before you come along,
I'm not much older than you.
Are you sounding like you're blaming me?
No.
You stinking?
You invented shower gel.
Man, there was only the family bar of soap.
What?
The family bar of soap. I remember I had a bar of soap.
I had charge.
You would have if you're seven years younger than me.
I remember shower gel coming.
I remember CDs being a new thing.
CDs would have already been there when you were like,
I remember the first CD we had in our house was a Lionel Richie CD.
It was like... Different family. would have already been there when you like I remember the first CD we had in our house was a Lionel Richie CD right and fucking
it was like
different family
mine was music
for the jilted generation
the prodigy
genuinely
that was your first CD
but like
only because it's the first
one you bought
CDs had already been out
for a while
I just remember that
being like technology
in the house
I was like this future
this silver fucking disc
oh god
can you put it in
that's not going to play music
it can't it's hilarious this's not going to play music it can't
it's not physically
it's hilarious
this tape
you can see the music on it
if you hold it up to the light
yeah
I'll just wind it back in
with my finger
and then put it in
the music exists
and put like
hold on now
record players are out
so you looked at a record player
took a vinyl off
and then saw someone
put a CD
the exact same thing
but even then
you could kind of get your head
around the fact
that there was like something that was doing the vibrations
and the music is vibrations because that's sound.
So you could kind of get your head around
that the vibrations within the grooves
and the diamond and the amplification,
you could,
as a Luddite,
you could still get your head around
how that transferred music.
But with a CD,
it was like,
a laser.
I can see through that if you hold it. Yeah, yeah.
But now the soap, the punchline
I wrote on the soap thing
is like, now you used to have to wash your
face with your mother's pubes.
Jesus Christ.
Well, there may be a dad too.
Yeah, there is.
And then I actually
wrote a tagline and then realised how dated the tagline was
when I was like,
that makes us feel old as well,
a woman with pubes.
But that's like 20 years old
since everyone was shaven.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like that even as an idea
predates my comedy career.
I just wrote a tagline as an 80s comic
and then went,
nah.
Nah.
That's great.
But I do actually remember
just the family bar of soap.
Yeah, that's great though.
Look at this.
I'll just,
I'll make you read this.
You're talking about 80s comic.
Just read that,
just read that last note i had a chicken once lived for 18 months without a head yeah fucking
same does it does not make any sense push that's that is a joke you would make as a parody of a really bad comic, wouldn't it? Like if you had a joke.
Yeah, yeah.
Fucking,
I had,
didn't even think.
Check with your head.
Yeah, fucking see him.
Is that it?
Is that it?
I've been 41 years.
Jesus.
Absolute shite.
I had one,
this was more of a thought.
It was like,
if you're driving,
I read this,
still haven't fucking passed nothing, right?
If you're down the motorway,
it said there was a big sign saying tiredness can kill.
Please make sure you rest before taking long journeys.
And I was like, you know what else can kill?
Reading all that at high speed.
That's so long.
I think that's going to make a dual punch thing.
Reading all that while driving is funny.
Yeah.
But at high speed. Yeah. It's like I get you a punchline. Reading all that while driving is funny. Yeah. But at high speed.
Yeah.
It's like I'm already driving dangerously.
Oh, yeah.
You're going to distract us with a chapter of a fucking book.
All right, one piece.
Yeah.
More a point.
Yeah.
I like that.
Yeah.
That would maybe work if I cleaned it up just.
Yeah. Yeah, I think that. You I cleaned it up just. Yeah.
You got any more?
Hey, yeah.
Well, there's a quick.
This one's not funny, so I'll just drop this one.
Great.
I was really embarrassed.
I'm here for this.
This is really embarrassed.
I know a guy who died in a surfing accident.
The internet cafe exploded.
That's what I want.
20-year-old joke. Is it? No, it's like, That's another one. 20 year old joke.
Is it?
They're not like,
it's topical.
It's topical in the wrong decade.
Like my pubes one.
An internet cafe.
Like me and you,
me and you are writing a killer set
for the early thousands,
late 90s.
The millennial,
the millennium set.
Fucking great.
Oh, for fuck's sake
But
But I think
We'd be killing it in Live Aid
Will 2K
Don't even try and fix that
That was just fucking stupid
But
That's good
That's how
That just shows you though
The notes that sometimes you have
And you're like
Didn't delete it though
Kept it as if like somehow
i could fix it no yeah it's still in there but you know what the surfing surfing accident
so you know what let's do it this way you didn't go caught a surfing accident
to look the traces ip when you been downloading child porn off the dark web okay
surfing accident
didn't use a VPN
accident
yeah
there's something
there might be
there's something in surfing
you can
you can absolutely
fix the punchline
it doesn't have to be
internet cafe
it's typical me as well
that the person has to die
I do this all the time
and just
everybody dies
and I'm trying to work out
where the joke goes
from the guy dying
and all it has to do is nobody died the joke goes from the guy dying and all it
has to do is
nobody died the
joke's there but
stop fucking doing
that I've done that
many times not that
one somebody's always
dying I've always
like my uncle
fucking died he
blew up somebody
fucking exploded
I'm always trying to
blow people up
it's Irish
didn't you
it's the Irish
side of you
right about what
you know
both sides
both sides
what else do you have there come on kind of you? Right about what you know. Both sides. Both sides.
What else do you have there?
Come on.
I don't know.
You know when you write stuff out long form in your notes,
you never get back to it.
It needs to be a hidden.
It needs to be a hidden.
If you start going thunder thumbs,
which is usually late at night.
Yeah, yeah.
Because you're not like,
you're not thunder thumbs at a restaurant when something funny's being said in the group.
Yeah.
Right? It's always when you're lying there and your thoughts are like fucking spilling out your brain yeah right so i'm just gonna read it out okay right
i work i work late and she works earlier i can only assume that i'm tired with my wife
right she she works earlier i'm on nights and we both we both have work
and we both have work
I've fucking
I should have tidied this up
before I try to read it
we'll have this
four hour crossover
when we're in bed together
okay
when I get in
and when she gets up
there's a four hour crossover
when we're in bed together
so obviously
when I come in
it's like 1, 2am
I tiptoe up the stairs
I creep through sheer darkness
I get undressed
and slip quietly into bed
without waking her. Now tell
me, do you think she returns the favour at 6 in the
morning? That's the premise.
That's the long set up to the premise.
Does she fuck? She somehow gets the floodlights from
St James's Park into her bedroom. She plays
up the fucking wind turbine to dry her hair at the
foot of the bed. We've got a four bedroom
house and no kids. She could literally do this
anywhere else in the house. It's an act of aggression.
I swear to God I'm going to bring up a nutri bullet to start making smoothies before bed when i get
in from work this is just this is just it's like a it's like a you're just anger i'm just angry
she starts chatting on like full-on java jaws i'm just listening i give her give me pure stream of
consciousness over the hair dryer the worst worst thing is she loads it with important information.
She'll get in
from work
and she'll be like,
I thought I told you
to go to Waterstones
and get them books
for your dad for Christmas.
I was asleep.
That's the point.
And then I've written
block capitals.
It's like I've come out
of a coma
straight into a quiz.
In fairness,
that's funny.
The rest of it
will just look like
Mind you
There's some funny lines in it
Do you know what I mean
I don't know
Yeah
Because it's like
I don't want to
Like
Me and my wife
Like really get along
Yeah yeah
Exactly
Listen to criticism
And I'll make fun of her
When she's bumping around
Yeah
I'll make fun
I'll be like
In bed just going
Oh did I do this
When I got in last night
Did I
No no Run shot on me?
Yeah, yeah.
Just fuck off.
We're good humoured.
Yeah, yeah.
So the risk I'd have,
the risk I'd have is like the way it's pitched
when it's written down there,
it's like that fucking complaining about her indoors.
Yeah.
Which isn't me life.
It is comic.
Which isn't me life.
Me life isn't that.
Yeah, yeah.
It is comic but but as a
premise and the way i've written that down and the reason i've wrote it down is because i think
that's fucking hyper relatable it is because because there's something a bit more sacred
about that portion of night time than there is about that portion of morning yeah yeah definitely
like i don't know why but when i'm tiptoeing around at night i'm
not thinking like i'm thinking everybody else is in bed yeah i'm the one awake don't wake everybody
but the people that get up in the morning are like well everybody should be up now
why are you all not up like whoa we've on different fucking cycles here like we could
not respect each end of it so like i think the the gist of that that is relatable to people
is that the fucking top and tail of the sleep pattern
is like totally swayed towards the early people.
Yeah, yeah.
And it is that like the whole idea is just flipping that on the head.
Like imagine I just come in at night and stomping around
and then you probably will get people in that relationship
where fucking cunts do do that.
Yeah, yeah.
They come in drunk and wake them up.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do you know, that would work if you actually,
that whole bit would work,
Anthony,
if you were able to explain that
without,
like,
shorter.
Yeah.
Without losing them.
It's long-winded.
You couldn't do it in a club.
Yeah, yeah.
You know,
you're not winning over a fucking rowdy
stag party
with that banner.
Listen!
Shouting listen.
Listen!
Listen.
Colin, we've
got to go and
play football
now.
Great.
We've got
loads left
right?
So like if
people enjoyed
this we'll
come back and
do more.
Yeah.
If not,
we'll do it
in our own
time.
Not doing
it in our
time.
Like genuinely
this is a
fucking great
part of the
writing process.
It's just like looking at the bits
that you would normally
leave for dead
and bringing them out
and just getting
an extra pair of eyes
on them
it's also fun
just to get it out of your system
if it is dead
if it was enjoyable
for you too
let us know
and we'll make sure
we hit record
when we do it
bingo
thank you
bye
bye
