Starting point is 00:10:46 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
Starting point is 00:10:58 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
Starting point is 00:11:06 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
Starting point is 00:11:50 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
Starting point is 00:12:27 right and because I didn't meet me hour of the preview because it's so far from the fringe yeah I got like
Starting point is 00:12:33 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
Starting point is 00:12:38 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
Starting point is 00:12:41 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
Starting point is 00:12:49 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
Starting point is 00:12:55 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
Starting point is 00:13:03 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
Starting point is 00:13:08 something you've been looking at that's presumed dead yeah and then somebody just comes and moves
Starting point is 00:13:13 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
Starting point is 00:13:18 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
Starting point is 00:13:40 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.
Starting point is 00:14:10 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.

Starting point is 00:17:34 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
Starting point is 00:17:42 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
Starting point is 00:17:50 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
Starting point is 00:17:56 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
Starting point is 00:18:06 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.
Starting point is 00:18:32 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
Starting point is 00:18:46 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
Starting point is 00:18:53 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
Starting point is 00:19:00 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
Starting point is 00:19:04 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
Starting point is 00:19:32 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
Starting point is 00:19:37 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
Starting point is 00:19:44 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
Starting point is 00:20:09 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
Starting point is 00:20:18 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
Starting point is 00:20:27 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.
Starting point is 00:20:53 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,
Starting point is 00:21:14 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
Starting point is 00:21:25 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
Starting point is 00:21:34 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
Starting point is 00:21:39 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.
Starting point is 00:21:48 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.
Starting point is 00:22:00 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.
Starting point is 00:22:12 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
Starting point is 00:22:29 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
Starting point is 00:22:37 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
Starting point is 00:22:45 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
Starting point is 00:22:53 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
Starting point is 00:23:01 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
Starting point is 00:23:09 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
Starting point is 00:23:23 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
Starting point is 00:23:31 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
Starting point is 00:23:42 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
Starting point is 00:23:51 wasn't it Mr. Sands contact reception it was something really so he's like Bobby Sands is Angela's brother
Starting point is 00:23:58 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
Starting point is 00:24:07 at the bar and her name's Angela yeah you're like will everybody stop getting us it's like the 20th time today
Starting point is 00:24:15 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
Starting point is 00:24:29 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
Starting point is 00:24:57 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
Starting point is 00:25:13 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
Starting point is 00:25:30 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
Starting point is 00:25:39 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
Starting point is 00:25:57 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?
Starting point is 00:26:18 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
Starting point is 00:26:30 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
Starting point is 00:26:37 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
Starting point is 00:26:45 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
Starting point is 00:26:54 like is it just between bits I'm doing a show about travel and about responsibility Guatemala unless you've been
Starting point is 00:27:02 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,
Starting point is 00:27:11 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
Starting point is 00:27:18 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.
Starting point is 00:27:26 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
Starting point is 00:27:45 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
Starting point is 00:27:52 home away game away game you're just practice as well should win with a punchless chance right the next one
Starting point is 00:27:59 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
Starting point is 00:28:08 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
Starting point is 00:28:30 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
Starting point is 00:28:38 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
Starting point is 00:28:45 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
Starting point is 00:28:54 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
Starting point is 00:29:02 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
Starting point is 00:29:09 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
Starting point is 00:29:16 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
Starting point is 00:29:22 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
Starting point is 00:29:30 yeah in fairness that was Alfie Allen aye and Boyd Holbrook or whatever aye that was
Starting point is 00:29:38 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.
Starting point is 00:29:50 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
Starting point is 00:30:06 with autism yeah that's right the predator the predator the predator was autism at least like
Starting point is 00:30:13 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
Starting point is 00:30:21 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
Starting point is 00:30:30 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
Starting point is 00:30:36 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
Starting point is 00:30:44 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,
Starting point is 00:31:00 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
Starting point is 00:31:10 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
Starting point is 00:31:18 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.
Starting point is 00:31:33 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
Starting point is 00:31:46 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
Starting point is 00:31:56 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?
Starting point is 00:32:09 Mm-mm. No? She's a famous poet that she killed herself before Norton. Okay. Very famous. So everybody else
Starting point is 00:32:17 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.
Starting point is 00:32:24 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
Starting point is 00:32:36 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.
Starting point is 00:32:52 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.
Starting point is 00:33:04 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
Starting point is 00:33:12 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
Starting point is 00:33:19 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.
Starting point is 00:33:26 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
Starting point is 00:33:36 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.
Starting point is 00:33:52 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.
Starting point is 00:34:02 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,
Starting point is 00:34:09 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.
Starting point is 00:34:17 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
Starting point is 00:34:26 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
Starting point is 00:34:33 You know Because it's famous You know Amsterdam You're going to Amsterdam Because it's famous Famous for its whores You know
Starting point is 00:34:40 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.
Starting point is 00:34:49 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.
Starting point is 00:35:06 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
Starting point is 00:35:30 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
Starting point is 00:35:51 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
Starting point is 00:35:58 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
Starting point is 00:36:07 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

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.
Starting point is 00:37:11 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.

Starting point is 00:40:48 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
Starting point is 00:40:54 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
Starting point is 00:41:03 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
Starting point is 00:41:36 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.

Starting point is 00:46:09 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
Starting point is 00:46:29 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
Starting point is 00:46:49 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
Starting point is 00:46:57 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
Starting point is 00:47:04 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
Starting point is 00:47:09 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
Starting point is 00:47:19 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
Starting point is 00:47:35 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.
Starting point is 00:47:50 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.
Starting point is 00:48:01 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?
Starting point is 00:48:17 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
Starting point is 00:48:27 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
Starting point is 00:48:36 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
Starting point is 00:48:42 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
Starting point is 00:49:06 yeah like people kind of people who know exactly what they are people that know what they are passively through children
Starting point is 00:49:14 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
Starting point is 00:49:21 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
Starting point is 00:49:46 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
Starting point is 00:50:09 like hey give me all your V-bucks your Riz your Riz is on fleek like ended done done
Starting point is 00:50:18 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
Starting point is 00:50:25 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
Starting point is 00:50:36 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
Starting point is 00:50:44 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
Starting point is 00:50:52 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
Starting point is 00:51:04 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
Starting point is 00:51:16 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
Starting point is 00:51:22 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
Starting point is 00:51:32 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
Starting point is 00:51:46 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
Starting point is 00:51:52 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
Starting point is 00:51:58 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
Starting point is 00:52:22 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
Starting point is 00:53:06 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
Starting point is 00:53:16 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
Starting point is 00:53:23 on his boots and just fucking Back flipped And nobody laughed Everybody went Are you okay Is he alright It was about Yeah then
Starting point is 00:53:30 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
Starting point is 00:53:36 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
Starting point is 00:53:44 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
Starting point is 00:53:51 into my notes because the notes there the oh that bit that's on age is like realisation of like
Starting point is 00:53:58 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?
Starting point is 00:54:06 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?
Starting point is 00:54:19 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.
Starting point is 00:54:39 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
Starting point is 00:54:51 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
Starting point is 00:54:58 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
Starting point is 00:55:05 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
Starting point is 00:55:13 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
Starting point is 00:55:21 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
Starting point is 00:55:32 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,
Starting point is 00:55:44 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.
Starting point is 00:55:59 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.
Starting point is 00:56:16 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.
Starting point is 00:56:32 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,
Starting point is 00:56:44 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.
Starting point is 00:57:11 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,
Starting point is 00:57:23 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.
Starting point is 00:57:36 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.
Starting point is 00:57:50 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.
Starting point is 00:58:04 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.
Starting point is 00:58:14 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.
Starting point is 00:58:29 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,
Starting point is 00:58:40 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
Starting point is 00:58:55 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
Starting point is 00:59:04 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
Starting point is 00:59:29 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
Starting point is 00:59:35 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
Starting point is 00:59:44 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
Starting point is 00:59:51 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
Starting point is 00:59:58 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.
Starting point is 01:00:06 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,
Starting point is 01:00:20 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
Starting point is 01:00:45 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
Starting point is 01:00:53 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
Starting point is 01:01:01 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
Starting point is 01:01:13 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
Starting point is 01:01:40 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.
Starting point is 01:01:52 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,
Starting point is 01:02:02 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
Starting point is 01:02:09 Because it's like I don't want to Like Me and my wife Like really get along Yeah yeah Exactly Listen to criticism
Starting point is 01:02:16 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
Starting point is 01:02:24 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
Starting point is 01:02:35 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.
Starting point is 01:02:44 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
Starting point is 01:03:18 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.
Starting point is 01:03:40 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,
Starting point is 01:03:50 like, shorter. Yeah. Without losing them. It's long-winded. You couldn't do it in a club. Yeah, yeah. You know,
Starting point is 01:03:56 you're not winning over a fucking rowdy stag party with that banner. Listen! Shouting listen. Listen! Listen. Colin, we've
Starting point is 01:04:06 got to go and play football now. Great. We've got loads left right? So like if
Starting point is 01:04:10 people enjoyed this we'll come back and do more. Yeah. If not, we'll do it in our own
Starting point is 01:04:15 time. Not doing it in our time. Like genuinely this is a fucking great part of the
Starting point is 01:04:24 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
Starting point is 01:04:31 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
Starting point is 01:04:37 when we do it bingo thank you bye bye
