Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello, podcast people! We are in the middle of a war, and you know what we do? We laugh about it, and we joke about it, and we trivialise it, and make it feel like it's not happening, because that's what we do, we're comedians! And we've never been more needed than we are today, where everything is a bit fucked up. And you know what? I feel like this is one of the funnest ones I've recorded. We're very lucky. Glenn Wool's on tour, and he was in Glasgow last night. We watched his show, got drunk, and then he joined me and Mark Nelson on the podcast. And fuck me, I had a laugh. So I hope you enjoy it too. If you listen to this on the public channels,
Starting point is 00:00:37 like on Spotify or iTunes, we threw on last week's episode was the Patreon special that I recorded with Mark, because Monday's episode was just Daniel Sloss talking on his own, like getting high, talking about his first two weeks of being a dad. We thought because it was a bit more private, we'd keep it a Patreon. So it's over there. It's only frequent to subscribe.

Starting point is 00:02:05 with Glenn Wool hello Glasgow on two LFs and dulcet tones to my left if you're
Starting point is 00:02:10 watching on YouTube and we drunk a fucking bottle of Thurzo whiskey last

Starting point is 00:02:20 it's 58% and goes down like silver it's very drinkable over ice and I don't know if that's heathen behaviour no I don't know I was going to ask do you drink whiskey straight you're not a water
Starting point is 00:02:38 whiskey man are you well I like it with ice you like ice yeah ice is acceptable I find that the weirdest snobbery what no ice when people are like it with ice. You like it with ice, yeah. Ice is acceptable. I find that the weirdest snobbery. What, no ice?
Starting point is 00:02:47 When people are like, I have ice in it. You're like, oh, come on, man. Yeah. If you pour an iron brew in it, then you're going... Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:57 It's called a haggis bomb. Yes, yes. I've seen someone order... I saw an old woman at Glasgow Station order a haggis bomb. I'd been served, but I hung on to watch because I wanted to know what was coming. And they dropped a shot of whiskey
Starting point is 00:03:12 into a tumbler via brew. And the old woman just downed the hatch did. Where was she? I'm talking pension age. Where was she going? What was that? A prelude to? She was going on a train to England.
Starting point is 00:03:29 Off to Berwick for a driving awareness course. So we sunk this bottle of whiskey. A wine on the side. After having a few beers. Sidecar. A little wine sidecar. A little red wine sidecar and
Starting point is 00:03:47 woke up we're both out in the kitchen this morning like Russia has invaded the Ukraine what the fuck
Starting point is 00:03:54 did we do last night yeah turned on the news after having a bottle of whiskey yeah gotta be careful what you tweet
Starting point is 00:04:02 after 57% whiskey. Yeah, it's a good whiskey if you've ever been drinking regular whiskey and just thought, you know, there's just not enough booze in this. Turn up the whiskey. Yeah, I find I only slap people on whiskey. Well, this will make you punch them. If you really want to close that fest. It's a people on whiskey. Well, this will make you punch them. You really want to close that fist.
Starting point is 00:04:27 It's a closed fist whiskey. It makes you slap them with the back of your hand. And say, stay slapped. Have you ever wanted to attack another person like an animal would? We've got the extra 18% of alcohol that can facilitate that request it's a brilliant ad you like to kick fucker or someone thurso but we we weren't shouty or anything which um yeah because i felt like uh i felt like like a scientist that was about to do his tests on himself.
Starting point is 00:05:08 It's like, it's 58%. We just have to do it then and see what happens. You know what we did do? We told old long jokes that have one punchline at the end. Yes. And it's all about the build-up and the nuances within the story that don't need to be there. And it's all about the build-up and the nuances within the story that don't need to be there. And I would just dug up a few old jokes from the fucking, you know,
Starting point is 00:05:30 like proper victimless old school. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That take a meander and root. They can be short or as long as you like. You can just decorate them. Ah, that's nice. That is nice. But looking back, we'll probably butchered half of them
Starting point is 00:05:44 because we were fucked yeah yeah I wonder how long those jokes actually were like if we replayed it again it'd be like
Starting point is 00:05:52 in contact with it like yeah we were only gone for an hour but this recorded for time dilation yeah
Starting point is 00:06:01 time dilation this is when the time sliding alien showed up I was in that joke for 15 years dilation. This is when the time sliding alien showed up. I was in that joke for 15 years. Glenn didn't have that beard. The joke was like Jumanji.
Starting point is 00:06:17 The percentage on the whiskey keeps fluctuating. It's whatever reality we're in. Schrodinger's joke we just kept hopping hopping timelines fucking Mandela effects within were jokes
Starting point is 00:06:33 is it Mandela or Mandela you can't see that I remember it as the Mandela yeah anyway anytime I'm wrong in an argument now I just convince myself You can't see it. I remember it as the Mandela. Anytime I'm wrong in an argument now, I just convince myself I was right in the timeline where I started the argument. Yeah. And I just have to concede that I'm on a different timeline now.
Starting point is 00:06:57 Everything I know isn't real. I just fit back into my new reality. It's fine. I adjust. I make adjustments. I wasn't wrong. Yeah. You just see life like a modern

Starting point is 00:11:49 we've caught a spy and he's not a very good one that's how long it's a text message my husband's out the house I was like, who's fucking bombing at 70 towards the fucking
Starting point is 00:12:07 after four zone? Just like, I'm going to have a look. So, Deliveroo, Janice wanted a burrito. And I got to walk up and see my piggy
Starting point is 00:12:24 had lots of snow stuck off there And it was kind of matte if I didn't get it out So I had a very less exciting week I'll call off my wife What happens now? Is this like proper war now? Not yet I think they're going to give him to Ukraine
Starting point is 00:12:44 But if he goes into any of the NATO countries Which I think they're going to give him to Ukraine, but if he goes into any of the NATO countries, which I think he's going to do, then yes, we can have an all-out war. But, I mean, we don't have the best leaders in place for this. Like, maybe the worst I could imagine. Like, there's a lot of Russian money involved in all of their electing elections. Even down to... I don't know that America rigged their big elections,
Starting point is 00:13:14 but they definitely rigged their primaries. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So you have to ask, who did that? It's not totally proven that the Russians did that. So you think they've been actively weakening their enemy for a long time now? Yeah, this has been part of a plan.
Starting point is 00:13:30 Funding Brexit. But they... I've read a thing once and listened to a radio show about it that when people were outraged that the Russians were involving themselves in the American election,
Starting point is 00:13:41 fucking Americans did it to the Russian elections a lot. Aye. Like, when Yeltsin was basically a walking alcoholic, like he was a proper functioning alcoholic and could barely stand. The Americans were basically keeping
Starting point is 00:13:53 him in power. So that kind of outrage that... Is it like, you know, if one of your kids nips their sibling and then gets hit back and then goes, Mom! Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, fucking,, Mom! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They're like,
Starting point is 00:14:06 fucking, the pair of you! Get your own rooms. Yeah. I think you can let America off for that because it was technically funny. To let a really drunk man run a country. Oh, God, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:19 Sort of like a Mr. Bean. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It was proper funny for a while. Like things he couldn't do, like get off a Mr. Beans kiss. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was proper funny for a while. Like things he couldn't do, like get off a plane. He was just like, just wait
Starting point is 00:14:32 and the band had to play on because he snored. There's footage of him when he gets up on stage on a rock band zone and just basically collapses over. It's incredible.
Starting point is 00:14:42 Like Neil Lennon after he got fired from Celtic. Collapse, he's over it, it's incredible Like Neil Lennon after he got fired from Celtic Does he even like Did he come to and go Have I been running Russia? I have faint recollections of running a country. 92 missed calls.
Starting point is 00:15:10 The fuck is Finland? You know, when I watched this morning, that phone in on the Scottish football radio. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what? I'll fucking, I'll... Do you want to i'll fucking i'll play it i'll play it hi oh where's my phone oh what a dick if you can't find that i can do it i've got it down pat can you do it yeah right i'll explain like the the kid so there's there was was back in god what would this be
Starting point is 00:15:46 late 90s the best goalkeeper in the Scottish League was a guy called Antti Niemi he was from Finland and he played for Hearts and we were blessed with great goalkeepers at the time and a guy phoned into a
Starting point is 00:16:03 football phone-in show to say listen I can understand him picking hearts players are doing well and he's picked this player and he's picked this player but i can't understand why he's ignoring auntie naemi and the guy goes auntie naemi he was like hi for scotland and he went hi and he went he went, he's from Finland. He's from what? He's Finnish. And the guy goes, he's not Finnish. He's only 28.
Starting point is 00:16:34 Man, so earnestly. So earnestly. Absolutely fucking bewildered by the goal of this radio presenter. He suggests that his career's over. His realisation was heartbreaking at the end he's like oh I didn't know he's from Finland
Starting point is 00:16:53 is he? fucking Mandela effect I did a gig in the interior of Canada just many years ago. And it was like a road gig in a really rough bar.
Starting point is 00:17:10 And it was a guy from Finland. I'd just been spritzing and found out there was a guy from Finland, a really large man sitting right there. And those gigs don't always go well but i'd actually had a good gig and i and i was able to just go and now it's time for my big finish and i pointed at him oh big round of applause and i was like yeah you can't it's not gonna happen every night yeah that's not gonna to happen every night. Yeah, that's not going to work on Twitter tomorrow. Peeing this guy to come on tour with you.
Starting point is 00:17:50 Come on, come on, RT. I did a gig in Helsinki with, you know, Luke Benson? Yeah. Big tall guy, Geordie. I don't remember why they booked two Geordies everywhere. I think we're travelling. And me and him were on, and he'd done this routine that didn't quite land, and it was about his lass, my lass,
Starting point is 00:18:10 and he's talking about stuff she does when she's doing housework. And I kind of gathered, like, they don't know what lass means, they don't know the translation for lass, and he comes off, like, the gigs went well, and then that bit just kind of sucked a bit for him at the end. And when he came off, I was like, you know, like, last is a fucking really derogatory term for black people in finland it's like they're oh my god it's not it's not but i told luke benson that
Starting point is 00:18:37 he came off stage i mean he's a pale motherfucker anyway, but that guy went blue. He turned around, he was kind of going back up. Louis Zezerun was on hosting. And he was going to get back on stage. I had to grab him and be like, whoa, whoa, dude. Why? Why did you grab him? I know. Even if you told the crowd after what you had done.
Starting point is 00:19:03 Don't grab him. Grab your phone. Grab your phone. Record what you had done. Don't grab him. Grab your phone. Yeah. Grab your phone. Record what's going down. Oh, my God. Yeltsin never would have grabbed him. I'll tell you that much.
Starting point is 00:19:14 Yeltsin would have let that play out. I like that it was my last. Yeah, my last. Yeah, he's just become a slave owner that's what I thought and it was all about like a housework
Starting point is 00:19:29 and shit yeah I can't get my last to do the housework properly really I tell you I never would but sometimes
Starting point is 00:19:37 oh she's a good singer though I'll give her that I'll give her that The sex is starting to wane Since I had my kids Jesus Just recounting all your jokes Since I had my kids. Jesus.
Starting point is 00:20:09 Just recounting all your jokes. He's not right about the fucking time that I found out that poop didn't mean fart and it meant shit. I've talked about this a million times on the podcast with Danny. It comes up, right? But I don't think I've spoken to you about it. Danny was late.
Starting point is 00:20:24 You've got to stop saying you've pooped after you've let one rip. Like people, you've spoken to you about it um out daddy was late you've got to stop saying you've pooped after you've let one rip like people you've told everyone you're shitting yourself right i was like poop means fart you think it means shit like what how happened this conversation i'm like mandela effect no um he's like let's put on twitter and see what people say right and 99 of the people said poop means shit the one percent that replied to me on twitter grew up within like a mile of my house it was like not even like a town-wide thing more like a fucking neighborhood wide wow that just somehow this fucking cooping people were calling the farts a poop a poop So when you say I've just pooped
Starting point is 00:21:06 You'd mean you just farted Uh huh What did you do when you had actually pooped A lot of shit But would you say Poo, a poo So poo is a poo So you wouldn't say I pooped
Starting point is 00:21:18 And even still now when we're having this conversation I'm like if poop feels like it means fart in my head Because I've had like fucking nearly 30 years before I realised Right That it doesn't. And I had to fucking live through every fucking conversation that I might have had. Like just like, oh my brother used to pin me down pooping my face.
Starting point is 00:21:35 Like that shit. You know what it's like when you poop in a lift. My wife never used to poop in the bed. Now she probably do me. Trying to blam it on someone else you may as well wipe your arse after that poop it smells like a bad one
Starting point is 00:21:59 may as well wipe it brutal, brutal realisation I'd like to Might as well wait a bit. Brutal, brutal realisation. Yeah, who... I'd like to find out who broke that and spread it to the others. And, yeah, and who was... Like, there had to be a rampart that stopped it from spreading everywhere.
Starting point is 00:22:22 Because some people were just like, no, no, some of the surrounding houses. Yeah, that's kind of your responsibility now. To correct everybody. You've got to get back to the township and like, here ye, here ye. We've been using poop wrong. We've been using poop wrong.
Starting point is 00:22:43 Ready, get me my tricorn. And my bell. I'm We've been using poop. Wrong. Honey, get me my tricorn. And my bell. I'm going to go fix this. Don't cry. I've always thought that had to have died out, but it probably didn't die out all at once. Down crying was just a, Shut up!
Starting point is 00:23:03 You shut up! Someone hung on to that job, didn't they? Someone was like, nah, I've been doing this for 27 years. I'm going to keep doing it. My dad did it and his dad before him. And you're like, it's 2007.
Starting point is 00:23:20 You're just reading Facebook statuses out at this point. You still get them whenever, it's not that guy that comes out whenever a royal baby's born he'll come out with a big scroll
Starting point is 00:23:30 and then he'll ring a bell and everyone gathers round and you've got all those people you know those mental people that hang about the hospital dressed completely
Starting point is 00:23:39 in Union Jacks waiting to see a baby that they don't know the people that are having the baby this is new to me I know what you're talking about I'll be seeing you on his fun Union Jack
Starting point is 00:23:51 when William and Kate had their first kid there was like gangs that would camp outside for days it's always older men as well they would camp outside for days outside the hospital they should be on a registry for that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:07 They should have to report to the police when they switch towns. Well, just a couple of middle-aged guys who love looking at babies. I don't think that's free country. We're just going to keep an eye on you. You watch the baby, we'll watch you. Who guards the guards? Hey, guys, I've got some free ankle bracelets. Who wants a free ankle bracelet?
Starting point is 00:24:28 It's got the baby's, it's got baby George's. It's embossed. It's really nice. Union Jack. Yeah. And they don't come off. They really don't come off. So you can shower them and everything.
Starting point is 00:24:44 You never seen those dudes? So that's just royal babies, is it? Nobody queued up before my kids were born. Union Jack in Scotland. Presumably, though, if they congregate for a royal baby, you could hire
Starting point is 00:25:00 another town crier to go give some uncomfortable truths about the royal family. Hire a Prince Andrew town crier to go give some uncomfortable truths about the royal family. Hire a Prince Andrew town crier. Get into what he did. Just reads off a Pizza Express menu. Hear ye, hear ye. On three different occasions he was known.
Starting point is 00:25:21 different occasions he was known to so that they don't cry so they get the people that gather waiting for the news
Starting point is 00:25:34 of the royal baby a guy comes out and unscrolls a big thing and announces what time what date the baby was born and then the name
Starting point is 00:25:41 and then people cheer and do they do the weight that seems very important to some people I. And do they do the weight? That seems very important to some people. I don't think they do the weight actually. No. He actually
Starting point is 00:25:50 he works the rest of the year with Prince Andrew and actually writes out the date of his date's birth. So he's kind of weighed out the and we go.
Starting point is 00:26:07 Starts his savings account to keep them quiet just opens an ice the minute they're born well by the time they're 20 I'll pay them off it doesn't doesn't reek of innocence
Starting point is 00:26:20 does it giving someone 12 million to shut the fuck up about rape accusations yeah you're like okay that's gonna keep you out of court but now we all know that's what they've admitted to it now yeah yeah because it rarely have i ever given anything to somebody i don't remember meeting yeah i think i think that i think you should be allowed to get away with it but you should have to give 12 million to everyone who doesn't remember me eating
Starting point is 00:26:45 the weirdest one was the defence before when they tried to get it off because Epstein had made them all sign a thing so that they wouldn't ever prosecute these particular people so the defence was basically no you can't say anything about me because my friend
Starting point is 00:27:03 who is a convicted sex offender made you promise not to because my friend who is a convicted sex offender made you promise not to say that i was also a convicted sex offender yeah and i don't remember meeting you but i know that i met you through my friend yeah yeah yeah and there are many photos of us together saying this that you won't grass on with for nonsense on you yeah you're like i wasn't fucking i was being human trafficked i'd saying anything that was put in front of me i thought i was gonna die and i i'm i i'm disheartened with the the american police force where something like that can happen and they're like so it just gave her 12 million and you don't think a crime might... No, I don't think so. Sometimes, you know, a prince comes around and gives 12 million.
Starting point is 00:27:48 I read fairy tales. Lucky lady. Somebody sounds jealous. Yeah, what if he's going to do it again? If we start investigating him every time he does this, you might be next. Who knows? He's taking a postcode lottery. Prince Andrew's postcode lottery. Prince Andrew's
Starting point is 00:28:06 postcode lottery. The DOB lottery. I've got my ticket. Changed my life. I'd still do my job. I'd still go to work on Monday and do it for the social life.
Starting point is 00:28:28 It's been Sandringham's day and I got 12 million. I'd buy a nice house. I'd give some to my friends. I'd give a lot to charity. Got superstitions in that hope when he touches you up. Do you reckon the Queen will survive her COVID?
Starting point is 00:28:47 If she does If a 95 year old woman survives Covid We should have just not bothered about it We should have just said Right, I crack on You kind of whack that off at 95 And it'd be a serious pandemic If you're Prince Charles
Starting point is 00:29:04 And she survives this, that must be the final nail where you go, well, this is never happening for me. Like, if a fucking worldwide pandemic can't kill her off, nothing ever will. No. Just accept you're never getting the job. I also think it,
Starting point is 00:29:25 because everybody talks about how hard she works. It's like, well, it's not a hard job. A 95-year-old woman with COVID is doing it right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I reckon I can do it. If she couldn't go down the mine today, you'd go, well, how hard she works. She's got COVID. What's the black lung that she normally has because of all the mining and i bet her health care is terrible
Starting point is 00:29:52 i was thinking this the other day i was talking to somebody because i said about something that i wasn't looking forward to and then they they were kind of going, well, it doesn't matter. Like, I mean, it was something at work. And they were like, well, I mean, things could be worse. You could work down a mine, right? And that's like a standard saying. Oh, it could be worse. You could work down a mine.
Starting point is 00:30:18 Miners must hear that. And just, like, if you're standing at a bar just having a drink and there's a load of people talking about an IT project they've got coming up and going, well, could be worse, could work down a mine, and he's just standing there going, oh god my life sucks

Starting point is 00:34:57 like uh did you did you spin it much because i know people found out about your show last time you want so they'll have listened to it. Is it very different to what you do? No, it's pretty much exactly the same as we did. Although, I tell you what I did do, because I sent you a photo of this. I went to the... So for one of the videos we do,
Starting point is 00:35:17 I basically went to... Because we'd done one... I think you've seen the video of me doing the crossbar challenge against a Scotland internationalist. Yeah, that's... And I beat her. I was fucking delighted.
Starting point is 00:35:29 So for this one we did, I went to the winners of the best beef sausage in Scotland, this butcher's, and they taught me how to make sausages. So I had to try and beat the world record for making as many sausages as I could in a minute. The world record's 78. And how many did you do?
Starting point is 00:35:46 Six. You did six? Six. You made six sausages? It's fucking... Did you get to keep them? I did, I did. I got to take them home and feed them to the kids.
Starting point is 00:35:55 They're in hospital now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I missed them. They'd have loved to issue crane stuff. It's Holocaust week as well It's the hardest time to lose someone It should be a Patreon episode This is a public episode
Starting point is 00:36:16 It's the most sexually weird thing Making sausages For the kids What were you sticking in those sausages because you pick this what's this it's like a it's a sheepskin out we really thin sheepskin out from this bucket of water and then you've got to feed it onto this metal like shooter of meat so you just you put it on like that and then you've basically got to wank it up towards and there's and because it's all
Starting point is 00:36:46 it's wet you need to try and drain the water off while you're doing it so there's all this milky water just splashing everywhere while you're just doing this
Starting point is 00:36:53 so it's actually it's got replica spunk on it yeah basically yeah yeah they added that because yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:36:59 it doesn't need to be there that's why I was so good at it yeah switched hands instead of I was so good at it. Yeah. Switched hands instead of... Stint two. Yeah. Imagine if you'd set the record. Training for this my whole life.
Starting point is 00:37:18 Yeah. We have a new king. Hear ye, hear ye. On this very day. Guys in Union Jack suits crying outside the butchers. Yeah, if you're looking for the new king of sausage jerking, it's hanging around the side of the hospital when the royal baby's born. That's where you're going to find your B.A. Baracus.
Starting point is 00:37:46 I'm thinking of the fucking Rocky. I couldn't get my terms right. But just Google what I mean. What was Mr. T's name in Clubber Lang? Clubber Lang. Clubber Lang. In a pop quiz in the same film, what was Hulk Hogan's name?
Starting point is 00:38:04 Thunderlips. Thunderlips, that's it. That was weird. It's a weird thing to have him be called. It was weird because Hulk Hogan, like, I don't know what the height of Sylvester Stallone is, but I always imagined he was quite big. But compared to Hogan, he's fucking tiny.
Starting point is 00:38:21 Hogan properly rack dolls him about the place. Yeah, Sylvester Stallone is very short. Is he? rack dolls him about the place. Yeah. Sylvester Stallone is very short. Is he? Yes, he wears lifts in his shoes and everything. Ah. I always thought he'd be about 6'2 or something like that, because he's always... I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:38:36 Maybe I'm thinking of someone else. I've always thought him to be... To be short. ...a small man, but like a big... Wide. That would actually be quite jarring, wouldn't it, if you like met sylvester sloan and he just waddled up there he held his handshake 45 degrees yeah yeah you
Starting point is 00:38:52 just have to take a swing at him i'm a slave to stories i'm a slave to stories i need to tell my friends this I need to how was Hollywood well I tripped over Rambo that's weird you can't you can't at the LA fucking
Starting point is 00:39:16 where's the Chinese man's theatre where what's it called again the Hollywood Grammar's Chinese Theatre Walk of Fame there where the hands it's just tiny little hands
Starting point is 00:39:23 like a like a baby's died like a baby's died like a baby's died like a tombstone I don't know that's where they're born you get that it's Holocaust week
Starting point is 00:39:35 all the babies have to die in the show a woman cradling her dead baby and people a cement mixer bringing in and going
Starting point is 00:39:44 just before you grieve could we just get the hands it's all right yeah but it's like uh it's like a roller coaster you don't have to buy it but you just you know we'll do it and then you at the end of the service you can you you have an option no i don't think, is that a mouse mat? Oh, I see that. Look, I came from a reality where they do handprints of dead babies with two stones, okay? It's a Mandela effect again. I keep switching.
Starting point is 00:40:21 I'm just always graphically wrong about weird stuff. It's just who I am. I went on a stag do in Blythe. Oh, so you did, yeah. Which was fun, because we got absolutely mulled in a working men's club. The cons club, which is... Cons is short for conservative, right? I went to a Tory working man's club on a stag do.
Starting point is 00:40:44 I remember I was i was mashed right and i heard it i heard a dog barking in the other room we were on the snooker hall bit right i heard a dog barking and um you know i'm a recent dog lover i've never been fucking i've never i've never been close with dogs i've never had one right and then i've always been a little bit fucking standoffish with you know if you see like a stray dog off a leash, like I'll cross the road and shit. I'm always like, I don't just like default, consider them to be safe.
Starting point is 00:41:11 And I just walked into that room and there's this fucking Rottweiler off the lead in the working friends club. And I went in and just started fucking play fighting it like it was little Peggy. I woke up this morning, was I wrestling a fucking Rottweiler last night
Starting point is 00:41:25 and you know because it was 18 months it was still like kind of puppy mouthing you know when they put their hand on you like piggies done it to these guys
Starting point is 00:41:32 and you have to like ah ah ah and stop and like this Rottweiler I was just like mouthing at me hands and I'm like ah ah ah
Starting point is 00:41:37 it's like a little dog I was like I don't know that dog I was fucking I don't think any sentence has ever summed up the north-east of England more than you saying, was I wrestling a Rockwell in a working man's club last night?
Starting point is 00:41:55 A guy taking bets after that. Yeah, and then you wake up and turn over and you see, oh no, I just, I got laid. up and turn over and you see, oh no, I just, I got laid. Two very similar memories. I thought I got away from Blythe, lasses. I moved to Glasgow because there were too much. I married a Glaswegian because the Blythe girls, I couldn't handle them.
Starting point is 00:42:21 How cheap were the drinks in the Locker Mints Club? Oh, mate. Because I love this. It was, honestly, I got a fucking round for about seven people in, right? And it came to nine quid. It came to fucking nine quid for all the seven folk. And I was just like, I'll get these in every fucking round. Like, that was the bill of the ball. I couldn't believe it.
Starting point is 00:42:43 Did you go anywhere after? That was the afters. anywhere after that was the after well that was the after it was like you know what we ended up there at like 2 in the morning but every now and then
Starting point is 00:42:49 if it was meant to be it would have had like a buzzer door you know you had to buzz in and that and like somebody had to be a member
Starting point is 00:42:55 and shit like that all the lads happened to be or whatever the fuck right because we're taking Gav on his stag to altitude yeah
Starting point is 00:43:01 but like we kind of expect everybody to fucking up sticks and come to the Alps it's short the rounds are going to be considerably more expensive
Starting point is 00:43:09 too in the Alps Geneva airport or wherever you're flying in it's Munich isn't it so we just said
Starting point is 00:43:18 we'll get the old football team back together oh nice because we used to play Sunday League for a pub called the Kitty Brewster
Starting point is 00:43:25 which is now actually a butcher's it's been repurposed well if they need a sausage maker there you go and we're fucking we've got that old
Starting point is 00:43:34 squad back together man we'll look old aye we'll look fucking old man you know when I'm looking at these lads we used to run like
Starting point is 00:43:40 fuck around a football pitch fit as fuck and now like everyone's gone bald and grey and now I wait that and I'm just
Starting point is 00:43:47 saying we're here blink of an eye and we're here yeah because you didn't realise how much time passes until you get the old
Starting point is 00:43:53 crew back together aye you didn't do anything embarrassing to Garv did you not like a you couldn't put Garv in fancy dress
Starting point is 00:44:00 if you tried he turns up looking like Kanye West I have no way he got this from me put the fuck of my guns into the charity shops and just find shit that shouldn't exist fancy dress if you try it, he turns up looking like Kanye West. I have no idea where he got this from, right?
Starting point is 00:44:07 He goes into the charity shops and just finds shit that shouldn't exist. They must have just made one of them. That wasn't a factory made piece. Motherfucker, he had fluffy joggers on, like fluffy, like the rug. Like these beige fluffy joggers.
Starting point is 00:44:26 You kind of put that man in fancy dress you kind of embarrass him with clothes you know what you should dress him up dress him up just like you know
Starting point is 00:44:34 he's just in a regular you know what he turned up to a wedding the other day looking like a master of ceremonies from the box and he had like
Starting point is 00:44:40 this kind of like fucking floral red embroidery through his suit like I'm getting handed of him like he fucking pulls it off and he had this kind of fucking floral red embroidery through his suit. I'm getting handed of him. He fucking pulls it off. He looks class.
Starting point is 00:44:54 With the joggers, with the fleece joggers that he had on, he had this, you know, like an Arsene Wenger style jacket like doing your knees. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A jacket doing the knees. So the fleece joggers were just poking out the bottom like fucking Aladdin, right?
Starting point is 00:45:11 It was like black, then bright purple. Fucking hell. You're kind of embarrassing me. There's not much I can do. At my first wedding, it was back when not all the comics were financially stable as they are now. My second wedding, everyone looked good,
Starting point is 00:45:35 but the first one, Mickey D showed up. So ill-dressed for a wedding. This is when he was drinking. Yeah. We had the group wedding shot. We had to move him behind people and just have his head peep out. You're at a wedding, dude.
Starting point is 00:45:57 Yeah, was that when you got first married? Oh. I've not thought of that for a very long time. That's why you're divorced. Yeah. You forgot it too many times. I hope I remember to get the divorce. I might be in a lot of trouble after my second marriage.
Starting point is 00:46:15 What happens if you just go out and get married again? Do they pull background checks on you? Bigamy. Bigamy, yeah. Is that bigamy? Yeah. Is that what bigamy is? Just remarrying again? Yeah's it's highly illegal which is weird in that it's not illegal to have
Starting point is 00:46:30 two partners it's just um it's like you know you just you can't lie to god in the house that's all that's all you've really done but so is that is that what is that what creates the law that it's in the eyes of the lord yeah i think so but there's also financial benefits to being married but i don't know that you you would gain anything from having it twice but it's a shitty thing to do to somebody else you know but then there's some religions that um allow it and they don't they just don't talk about that as the world's starting to break more social norms now you're not going to get like where like throuples are going to want to be getting married and stuff like you're probably going to have some like
Starting point is 00:47:12 polygamy like um polygamy rights will start coming through soon whether like why why can't our relationship with this orgy be recognized well the problem with it is on a large scale, if there's like a big sort of chieftain of the area that takes 30 brides, that means there's 30 dudes in that area that don't have anything to do. And then somebody comes along and organizes them and then you've got a militia, or they're going to other areas to find a bride, and that's pissing off.
Starting point is 00:47:51 So there is actually reasons why you should only have one partner, and just that's all you need. So they're saying a harem is a big incel maker. Yes. Hareems fund the incels. Yeah. That was actually part of my wedding vows. I told my wife that I was getting married
Starting point is 00:48:09 so I didn't join a militia. That was the only reason why. You're keeping me sane, baby. I'll be vegging me to start to mobilise. I just need to opt out. Can you sign this? I feel bad for all those incel militia men now.
Starting point is 00:48:29 Come to the Ukraine. I don't want to go to the Ukraine. Fight Russia with all their weird biological weapons. We were talking this morning about, I don't know what war looks like now. You know how it used to face up it used to face up against each other
Starting point is 00:48:47 and then like at first it would run towards each other and clink and then they started shooting each other and now it's like
Starting point is 00:48:54 now it will be cyber it could be like a nerve agent in your fucking in just a public place yeah
Starting point is 00:49:00 like after watching that Salisbury thing I would just say if that's at that disposal and that's what warfare is going to be fuck man that's going to be shite that's going to be really shite if it fucking kicks on
Starting point is 00:49:14 unless for whatever reason it only kills the unvaccinated then we'll have cornered them into like I fucking know more than... And in one fell swoop, they were never missed again. The internet was a lot nicer. The victimless wall.
Starting point is 00:49:42 Yeah, we kind of have a little parade for Putin every year, just to thank him. Yeah, we kind of apologize for our initial stance. Yeah, well, you know, we didn't know that was his plan, but he should have just said. Let me tell you about 2022, the good war. Grandpa, why do they call yours the greatest generation? Well, I'll tell you, grandson.
Starting point is 00:50:08 The world used to be a very terrible place with a lot of morons speaking. We found a way of weeding it out. When it rains, son, the worms come to the surface. But in reality though We're all going to die Yeah Your vaccine will not save you From what Putin has planned It was nice living in that pocket
Starting point is 00:50:35 For a second Yeah Do you remember Like I was thinking about this Yesterday When all this was starting to kick off Do you remember when the news was boring
Starting point is 00:50:43 Like I remember like a golden time. It might just be like rose-tinted specs when I'm looking back because I didn't really pay as much attention and I was a teenager and the early 20s had other shit to do. But remember, like, there would be months where fuck all would happen.
Starting point is 00:50:59 Literally fuck all would happen. In politics, political stuff, like, it stuff just boring and we've not had that for at least a decade front page of the news post lead I once ran a story about the donated the Christmas trees to the dead Christmas trees
Starting point is 00:51:16 to Kirkley Hall College for the guinea pigs to rub up against front page news front page news you mean that time? Front page news. Front page news. You mean that time? Yeah, well, I mean, that's taken it to the extreme. That was local news. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:35 This weekend, the front page will be breaking. Poop doesn't mean what we think it does. Please report to the town hall we will be updating i just think it's like it's a dick move anyway that fucking putin's day day in this but like read the fucking room man we're just starting to live restrictions from the pandemic which was a global problem that we all went through because we're not just like could not just fucking chill for a bit before you square go yeah before you're like you didn't come out of a pandemic really so you don't have a fight on the grass you're like how am i like let us just my social skills are a bit lacking at the minute i'm trying to readjust to meeting people again i don't want to fight you can you just in a minute

They're much more than water. Whips. You'll have people going, I'm not wearing a gas mask. You can't take away my civil liberties to wear a gas mask. Did you watch the new South Park?
Starting point is 00:52:56 No. Where they're not allowed to wear pyjamas on Pyjama Friday at school. So the parents in protest turn up to work with pyjamas on. Some people are wearing pyjamas and some people refuse to wear pajamas and like it was about masks it was about masks it was like this guy's like claiming into bed with his fucking suit and shoes on just going you can't make me wear pajamas and claiming into bed fully dressed and it took me until right towards the end of the show to realize it was about masks i thought it was about the holocaust i had the same thing with don't look up it took me a long long time and then i said to my wife like maybe a half hour in even you know this isn't about
Starting point is 00:53:41 a comic this is actually about global warming and pandemics and whatever the problem is. Yeah, I know, Glenn. No, no, I knew the whole time. I was just waiting for you to... Mansplaining it, do I? I didn't enjoy it until the penny dropped. Yeah. I was like, this isn't funny enough to be a comedy
Starting point is 00:54:06 and it's not serious enough to be serious. It was just in this weird limbo. It was when the glass shattered and I was like, oh, it's a satire. It's about us. It's about us. It took a while for me too. I was there.
Starting point is 00:54:21 One of your jokes last night, I didn't get until... Even when you like explained it you must have heard it like laughing halfway through your next joke because I got it
Starting point is 00:54:32 it's a spelling joke guy I don't mind I'll tell it it's about hives my wife's about hives. My wife suffered from hives during pregnancy. And I don't know if you've ever seen someone suffer from hives,
Starting point is 00:54:52 but you wouldn't wish it on your worst enemy unless you had a doctor who, for some reason, spelled all of his diagnoses. I'm sorry, ma'am. You have HIV. Yes. Yes. It took Kai a good couple minutes. Two dry swallows.
Starting point is 00:55:12 Then you announce the interval and Kai's like... The comic at the back. I look around at everyone enjoying themselves at the gig and the active mind of a comedian at the back is like grinding gears. It's dead ashamed. It was like coming out the air, wasn't it, at the end? That was like Clint.
Starting point is 00:55:41 Well, it was a weird crowd because you could tell they were learned and I was putting in you know sometimes you don't put all the hard bits in you just know that it'll just
Starting point is 00:55:51 make them blink but there was it was a smart crowd but there was one guy who heckled really oddly right at the start so
Starting point is 00:55:59 really Mark he made at him he fucking what was he he made at the heckler was he pissed or I know he was him. What was he? He murdered the heckler. Was he pissed or? No, he was English. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:08 And he brought it up. Like, at the end, I think he was doing it. I think he decided he was going to heckle because it just came in at such an odd time. Yeah, it was about... If I wipe my arse with books, because he's done about about if i wipe my ass with books because you've done about you improvising wiping your ass with books yeah yeah yeah and he went my wife would kill me um and it just it was really like i you know so i'll do duly noted if if this guy wipes his ass with his books, his wife would be really upset by that. And then he said, he kept going. He goes, I don't think she can read.
Starting point is 00:56:53 And I was like, how old is she? And then he realized he'd left open like he'd been tagged a pedophile. Yeah, yeah. And he's like, I don't know. She's from open like a, like he'd been tagged a pedophile. Yeah, yeah. And he's like, I don't know, she's from the Middle East, like that. And I was like, you fucking, he went from pedophile to racist. And yeah, I was. And you called him, you called him, you went off on a fucking yawn about him, kicking off about him to the crowd and you went,
Starting point is 00:57:23 this Ku Klux klan pedophile and then after he like he stayed slapped you just went but don't talk though it was like we're laughing at you we're laughing at you we're laughing at you but i fucking mean it he just didn't talk again so like this was right at the start as well right at the start and not like not a raucous crowd. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like a crowd that was there to see a show. Like, like, like almost a theater crowd. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:49 Really. Yeah. So, and you had this one fucking jerk. And I just don't, I, I don't know how he goes home going, oh, I don't think that night went so well. Yeah. Everybody thinks I'm a paedophile racist now. You like respectful literature.

Starting point is 01:02:52 oh nice I'm laughing you fucking stood up for there's been so much sniping oh god it made two do podcasts like fucking people
Starting point is 01:03:04 it's become like a trend to yeah ridiculous but it's it's because like it's basically because have awards has got so popular the jealousy now is seeping out of people that have never started the podcast isn't it because they're now going well if i start one it's either going to look like i'm just copying them and trying to be them so it's much easier for me to just go ugh another podcast
Starting point is 01:03:27 with two men and the notes are going to flop because now they're not going to bring what they're bringing yeah yeah yeah I think it's ridiculous
Starting point is 01:03:35 when you're trying to shit on other people's efforts as opposed to just just apply some effort to you like yeah the fact that it's not part of your TV license man
Starting point is 01:03:44 it's not getting it's not getting put on it at fucking nine o'clock on your one channel. Yeah, well, that was the thing. You've got to go and find it, man. That was what somebody said to me. They were like that. Podcasts aren't readily available as other media is. You have to search. And it's particular.
Starting point is 01:04:01 Like if it is a big, massive podcast with two dudes, then yeah, you might come across it. But most of it, a big massive podcast with two dudes then yeah you might come across it but most of it you need to specifically be looking for it so then you become one of those pricks that is just doing stuff to annoy yourself yeah and anybody who's like podcasts are just a massive meritocracy like it's just if it's good, people will listen. Exactly, yeah. If your complaint is like, oh, that's too fair! Come on! We've tried to set up a system that keeps talented
Starting point is 01:04:32 people silent, and then these podcasts come along, and they're just two dudes talking? What the fuck of news is two dudes talking? That can't be your complaint. Have you heard poor people can make these themselves? Without make these themselves? Without any help themselves.
Starting point is 01:04:49 And very soon after, Ukraine fell. It is such a strange thing to gripe about. It's like someone complaining about what you do in your own home. It's like, well, you've got those cushions. You're like, oh, why are you looking through my window? Like, this is my world. It's comics, man. They're the fucking worst. I remember when Manfred set up those comedy clubs.
Starting point is 01:05:13 He got famous. I think his brother helped, too. But I see your comics bitching in green rooms. Well, that's not what I would do. I wouldn't set up a comedy club if I was famous. I'm like, what? Just don't. What are you mad about now
Starting point is 01:05:27 another place to work oh idiot and as well podcasting I think I think it was such a fucking great service
