Sloss and Humphries on the road!
Muggins and cream, cream and muggins, straight thuggin', livin' the dream
That's our intro
Fuckin' muggles!
Tickling the clit inside your head that makes you laugh
Woohoo!
They said it can't be done!
Are we in the same seats?
That's hack
Ah, muggles!
Accidental rim job in the park
Kiss kiss kiss
Or might just be cynical
Just muggled it up on fuckin' Mugglepedia
Where have you been since 9-11?
I am a big nerd.
Behind me, you can see I've got all the leather-bound books of Brandon Sanderson's book.
People notice that as well.
Yeah.
People have pointed that out.
Yeah, yeah.
I love the Cosmere.
If you don't know the Cosmere, it's Brandon Sanderson's universe that he's building he's been building for about 15 20 years i recommend you start with
the mistborn trilogy it's just one of the best trilogies um ever written if you're like a deep
deep fantasy person i acknowledge that it's like a bit more accessible than you know other stuff
but i like that about it. It's really nice.
Like at the end, it's always high energy.
I'm massively into it.
So I'm trying to read...
Books that accelerate at the end.
Yeah.
Because I find out with Stephen King,
like I'll have read that much of it
and I'm like, there's so much to tie up.
And then that last bit will just be rapid.
Brandis Anderson fans call it the Sanderlanch,
which is the worst nickname I've ever fucking heard.
I'm like, back to the drawing board, boys!
That doesn't scan that.
That's like one of those things where I'll say it
on the podcast and just instantly regret it.
Yeah, yeah.
Here's the thing.
Don't shit on something unless you have
an alternative to it. I don't
have an alternative to the Sander Lanch,
but it's not the sander latch um
so i'm reading i've i think i've only got like three or four books left and it's in the whole
saga he's still writing and unlike george r martin he will actually finish these books because
because i don't care what anyone says brandon sanderson is a better writer
than george r martin and proof of that is the fact that Brandon Sanderson
hasn't written himself into a corner that he cannot get out of.
Brandon Sanderson was asked to finish the Wheel of Time books.
And if you ask any of the Wheel of Time fans,
they will tell you that he did a remarkably good fucking job.
Something that George R. R. Martin could not have done.
Because, as I've said before, George R. R. Martin cannot finish books.
He can write jeopardy
he can he can he can create tension he's excellent character building is amazing character building
is good world building is fine it's fine and then he sold it uh he sold it and it became a big it
became bigger than the books and it outran the books yeah yeah yeah and story-wise as well like
it just it as soon as it passed the books yeah there's
no way he was typing and catching up with it george r martin is a big fucking fat failure and the
sooner he passes the better because once he dies hopefully finish the books well no brandon
sanderson will do it yeah just yeah george r martin just needs to cop it and then we just give the
rights to brandon i've said this on the podcast before if as all
good fancy novel writers get if and when they get depression which they all do without exception
well with one exception brandon sanderson that god-loving christian with a yeah yeah not christian
mormon but hi hi if i imagine him to be like Ned Flanders Or
A chubbier one
A chubbier Ned Flanders
Minus the moustache
Howdy doodly
That's him
That is him
Did I ever tell you my coldest take in the world
That turned out to be super wrong
When the series of
Game of Thrones started overtaking the books and
everyone thought george r martin was going to die and it wasn't going to get finished
i was like i'll have faith i've read a david baniyoff book and it's one of my favorite books
it's in great hands i i was like guys guys stay calm stay calm david baniyoff has got this city
of thieves was a great book guys Guys I know we're about to crash
But I know this car is about to crash
I know it's icy roads
But we have current
Michael Schumacher driving
It's all going to be fine
I watched one of his races
He was amazing
So I've got like three
Books to like finish
The Cosmere and then I'll go back through them because I'm a big fucking loser.
Hello people who listen to this podcast and watch it.
I'm Daniel Sloss, one of the people on the podcast.
If you do not want to give me any more of your money
and you do not want to subscribe to the Patreon
or if you're like, you know what, even though we're in a massive recession,
how could I throw more and more money at this spoiled spoiled man uh but you don't want it to go directly to me what
you can do is by making us look better by making us seem like we've got more influence than we have
it's going to thisley cross cider doghood at uk using the promo code thisley sloss 10 to get 10
discount on any order in the uk and it will be shipped to you. It is legitimately
my favourite cider. The reason it is the sponsor isn't because they approached us, isn't because
we have an amazing reach. It's because I approached them being like, I love this. I love small
businesses and I love Scottishness. And I also love drinking responsibly
If you want to drink what we drink on the podcast
If you want to give it a go
And try one of the many delicious flavours that they have
Which includes original Scottish fruit
Whiskey cask flavour
They've come up with a new malt wine flavour
There is strawberry flavour
There's elderflower
They're amazing
I genuinely recommend you try them
If you see us at any point in the future
With these adverts not in the show
It's because you didn't buy enough
And you embarrassed us
You embarrassed us
In front of our new sponsors by not buying anything
Right, aye, aye
Come here, zoom in
Buy this, buy this I don't care if you don't drink, right Buy Aye, aye, come here, zoom in. Buy this.
Buy this.
I don't care if you don't drink, right?
Buy it as a gift.
Christmas is coming.
There's a mulled wine flavour.
Buy it!
Is it mulled wine flavour or is it mulled cider?
Fuck!
You know what I'd like to do as a nerd?
I'd like to get every series that I've read
from like Harry Potter toter to um game of
thrones and the wheel of time when i finished it um the dark does it dark tower i'd like to get all
of the actual physical book piles and do like a fucking video of like each of the things like in
a proper nerd like this is what i've read as a visual i mean that's what hopefully this is going
to be for me but then like i'm'm worried that Mark Nelson might sneak into my house
and smother us in my sleep.
Yeah, but to attack Mark Nelson, Jaws isn't that good.
Man, you've already lost so many people with your opinions on music.
Jaws is great.
Jaws is great. Jaws is great.
Jaws is great.
And look, if Jaws is ever on television, I'll watch Jaws.
You can jump in.
You prefer Deep Blue Sea with LL Cool J, don't you?
How did the shark swim backwards, Guy?
That was a twist none of us were expecting.
Jaws is excellent and was responsible for one of the better rides in Universal back in the fucking day.
It was real good.
I love Jaws.
I'm not here to shit on Jaws.
I'm just, the way he reveres it, I see no different to the way I revere the wheel of time.
It invented na-na.
Yeah, yeah.
Na-na.
No, I think it went na-na. You think that was pre jaws that was short no that's
the noise that sharks make uh-huh that's that's the noise that sharks make in the sea the only
reason we don't have any recording of them doing that is because whenever if i don't know if you've
tried going up to a shark with a microphone as well they're doing it underwater they're like
yeah no it comes out of the water i was like no no So differently up here
The three books I'm struggling on
And I know you're a Brandon Sanderson fan
You like the Wax and Wayne
Quadrilogy don't you
Yeah they were alright it's not as good as the original
Yeah it's like
Here's the thing
There's the Mistborn world which introduces
This new form of magic which is really cool and excellent
and then
I mean I'm not
if you want me to get into the nuances
of which shards
of which shards landed on the planet
in which specific cosmere
I love it when
preservation and ruin by the way
I love it when worlds get magic right
yeah
like I feel like
Kvothe what do you call it
that series
name of the wind name of the wind King Kilochronicles King Kilochronicles thank you Broken Worlds get magic, right? Yeah. Like, I feel like Kvothe, what do you call it? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Name of the Wind.
Name of the Wind.
King Killer Chronicles, thank you.
And also the Broken Worlds saga, which is the fifth season.
You read the fifth season but didn't finish it.
I think they've got, like, their magic system is good.
You're like, oh, yeah, yeah, cool.
Like, you've described that better than anyone's ever described magnets to us.
So if I'm not to believe that, then I don't believe magnets.
Aye, okay.
Fair enough.
Brandon Sanderson's really good at explaining his magic systems.
They make sense.
They sort of scan and everything.
And, like, the magic system in, is it Skadrian?
Skadrian?
Doesn't matter.
This is just nerd shit here.
The magic system on that planet's very specific,
and it's, like, back in the days of, like, like swords and not orcs but kind of orc storage thing and then a the end of
the trilogy ends the trilogy um and and the the universe and the world is saved as they they
always are the next books are like fucking 300 years later and i i can tell you a genre I just cannot fucking get into at any point.
And this is like nerd shit.
The Barbie movie.
Like I'll get into a lot of nerds.
Fucking Westerns, man.
Fucking any sort of like horses are just about to become obsolete.
Like the steam trains.
Steampunk.
Oh my God.
Like the steam trains.
Steampunk.
Oh my God.
Steampunk is just the, for me, just the most boring thing in the world. You don't like westerns?
You don't like the idea of like a kind of lawlessness?
No, I like that.
And I love the Red Dead Redemption games.
And there's plenty of like cowboy movies that I fucking love.
But I'm talking the transition year between a cowboys
cowboys cowboys cowboys steam and this little thing here where it's like oh the wicker wicker
wild wild west with will smith fucking stinky stinky poo poo i just like i don't know what it
is whether it's just like the in between It would be like your favourite fucking Pokemon being Charmeleon, right?
Why?
Right.
It's either the first selection or Charizard.
Who fucking enjoys the middle?
Nobody enjoys being a teenager.
No.
You're this fucking rangy.
You don't know your own fucking motor skills yet.
Yeah.
Your skin's gone weird.
I remember in history,
I'm a big fan of history.
I'm a bigger fan of not learning from it.
I remember when we were in first and second year
at high school,
they taught us about Neanderthals,
which I found riveting.
They taught us about the Roman Empire,
which I was like,
oh my God, these cunts did everything. I signed up to third and fourth year. Do you know. They taught us about the Roman Empire, which I was like, oh my God, these cunts did everything.
I signed up to third and fourth year.
Do you know what they taught us about?
The Industrial Revolution.
Oh God, I don't care.
I don't care how many people died in mines.
I couldn't give a fuck.
I couldn't give a fuck.
They're buried.
Leave them there.
It doesn't matter.
Oh, I can't abide it.
No.
And I know, and I know, know other people, and you're right.
Is that because that history is a bit too recent?
Is it history if I can talk to someone who was there?
I don't think so.
It's just news.
Yeah.
It's old news.
Which isn't fair, because I absolutely would consider World War II to be history.
Old news, that history. absolutely would consider World War II to be history. Old news, history.
And I find that, but that's World War.
That's fucking, that's cool.
When do you think it stops being old news and becomes history?
When the last, it's got to be when the last, when you're reading it from books and stuff.
And also the interesting thing about World War.
I met people from World War I, did you?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure Marlene was there.
Our agent.
Have I met anyone from World War...
I mean, they're all dead now.
Oh, surely.
Yeah.
Yeah.
At least anyone who served in it.
I'm pretty sure you've got some...
Oh, yeah, yeah.
You might have...
You'll have World War I babies.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That are well into their hundreds.
No, my... Both grandparents were obviously around in World War I babies. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That are well into their hundreds.
No, both grandparents were obviously around in World War II.
My gran on my mother's side has told me about when she used to go to the air raid shelters in Glasgow and stuff. And that sounds interesting.
My gran got shot at when he was in an aeroplane, but he never left Britain.
Just a Ryanair flight.
Never left Britain.
Never left Britain no more. Aye. that when he was in an airplane but he'd never left just a ryan airplane never left britain never left britain in the war but he was up he was up doing miles all the time because he was
training the pilots okay and who was you know uh the spitfire pilot so he would winch targets out
the back of his fairy battle there's an airplane called a fairy battle and it would have like
there's a what fairy battle like f is this back it's f ee-i-r-e-y fight like oh fairy fairy i think that's how you
spell it not fairy not fairy i was gonna say like it's for those fairy fairy battle
and then i was just like it's just the same time back when gay went meant happy
just like this is our deadly plane the fairy spitfire i'm like oh a brandon sanderson character
it was just just the other episode as well
when I was telling you that people called RF
the flying fairies.
Yeah.
That's what spoiled it.
Yeah, got to be, yeah.
So he would winch out these massive cloth targets
that would go out
and then Spitfires would fly by
and shoot at the targets
that were being trailed behind his plane
and then he'd winch it back in
and then kind of click the scores based on where the bullets had hit the target
one two three minus four minus five lost a foot out he had some scary moments like this was a bit
where like the um it was winching in and the fucking thing came off like the actual target
came off the cable and the cable just comes shooting back in and whipping around the cabin
and he's just fucking hunched up in the corners it's just fucking lashing this metal
cable cable around the cabin in another time where the um where the undercarriage didn't come
like so they had to belly land on a field with no undercarriage no landed like it was the flintstones
yeah so my grandad's got war stories
From never leaving the country
There you go
I didn't realise how much the UK was
There's
And this is how I know I'm approaching
My 40s
I mean I'm still 70 years away from it
But
I remember growing up
And like
We had one television downstairs which can which can well
i don't think it was a fucking skybox back then but it was a cable box and dad would always be
watching the history channel he would always be watching something on world war ii and you're
just saying they'd be like man this thing is friends this thing is keenan and kell on it
like what are you doing two guys and a girl a piece of place what are you doing
like why are we watching I can't imagine
Like why are we watching
My Wife and Kids is on here
Remember that one
Was it My Wife and Kids
The one with
One of the
Wayans brothers
The older Wayans brother
I fucking loved that one
Mine was
Boy Meets World
Was my childhood
Topanga
Sister Sister
Remember Sister Sister
Yeah
Tia and Tamara
I almost called them
Tamor and Pumba
Tamor and Pumba
What else
There was
Clarissa explains it all
I remember
Yeah
That was the pre-Sabrina
Yeah
And obviously
Sabrina the Teenage Witch
Can you remember
When the
Auntie from Sabrina
The Teenage Witch
Stormed out of
Reverend Obendier
Steppenwolf's show
Yeah Because his show was Like I went on when the auntie from Sabrina the Teenage Witch stormed out of Reverend Obendyer Steppenwolf's show.
Yeah.
Because his show was, like, I went on,
and he basically just, like, rang around you and everyone to find out, like, some horrendous stories
that he wouldn't want us to bring up to ask us questions.
And then he brought, so it was, you knew what you were getting into.
If you did that show, he was going to ask you questions
where, like, you were like, oh, what the fuck?
How do you even know that? Because he does a bit of research to find your darkest secrets
and then he didn't even get up to any questions because he just went we couldn't get this what
was it we couldn't get the fit one so we got the pretty one no what i got that wrong didn't i cut
that matthew cut that make it look better leave that make us look better than what i am make us
look like i'm class not always get me words right because they that's how they think of me and i didn't want to spoil their image of us
couldn't get the fit one so i got the funny one there you go and it's just stormed
folks she's like no i'm not i'm not funny i'd rather be the funny one than the fit one. And thankfully on this podcast, I'm both.
Fit means a different thing now.
Yeah, it does.
It used to mean you were physically fit.
Yeah, normal. Now it means people that are shallow like you.
You can't do anything with it.
Fit used to be what you could physically do with your body.
Now it just means fucking nothing like that.
Don't pretend it's fucking us that's changing words.
It's fucking the Elliot Stills down in London.
And while I'm talking about getting fucking older,
I don't mind youth terminology that I do not understand.
But when bare means very, stuff like bare.
You don't just get to change the fucking meanings of words.
Make up a new fucking word, right?
I've got one, like you do.
What do I?
Stop saying greeting for crying.
Greeting's already a word.
It means saying hello.
Stop pretending that means crying.
No, no, no.
Oh, it's all right when it's you.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
It's a different fucking thing.
It's an entirely different.
Greeting is meant crying for 40, 50 fucking years in Scotland.
It's colloquialism.
There's history to that.
You do not get to, on a day, a random day, decide that bear means lots.
That's the difference, right?
You just did it.
Right?
All right.
Well, canny can't mean.
Canny.
Yeah.
We made it word up for it.
Mm-mm.
Canny.
Mm-mm.
Canny doesn't mean anything else.
You know what?
Up here it means can't. Got a red squiggly line. Can't. No, that's canny doesn't mean anything else. Yeah, what? Up here in the red squiggly lane?
Can't.
No, that's canny.
Cannot.
Canny.
Canny.
Can you canny shove your granny off a bus?
Yeah.
C-A-N-N-A-E.
No.
There's a difference between colloquialisms and local terminology.
Like, have Oxta.
I know yous have made Oxta up, but, like, yous have made that up.
Like, yous have just got your own word that you made up for it.
But greeting.
Like, it always baffles me.
Like, because Gareth says it a lot
in text form
and I
every time
have to read it twice
because he's
like what he's saying
and what I'm receiving
is like
when
even though it's been years
the pass is never completed
because greeting
already means a thing
don't eat great chicken feet
greeting
it is a good word for it
but it's just like
Pointlessly baffling
Anyway
I remember walking in
Watching my fucking dad
Watching this fucking history channel
Being like
Why the fuck are we watching
World War 2 shit
Also when World War 2 movies
Are available
Which are way better
Than World War 2 documentaries
That being said
7th of December
I've got a Netflix reminder
There's a new
World War 2 documentary
Coming out
What am I What am I waiting for?
We know what happened.
All the information is there.
None of this is...
Nothing new has come to light.
The historians are there.
Al Murray's got like a fucking 300-episode podcast
which goes into every minor fucking detail of World War II.
And it's fascinating.
Why am I suddenly interested in it?
It's excellent.
It happened. It happened in real life. But why do we... World War II and it's fascinating why am I suddenly interested in it it's excellent it happened
it happened in real life
but why do we
and it was like
one
it was one of the
like
the good
the
goodness prevailed
with World War II
it was like
it was the real
good versus evil fight
and good won
like that's why
it's fascinating
it's like fucking
it's like something
about Hollywood
that actually happened hmm also but i don't think you appreciate that when you're younger no you just
take that for granted that that's something like that happened on that magnitude like
not that long ago like world war ii ended right like closer to when i was born than when I am now to when I was born. It just happened.
Recent,
recent history,
it just happened
and I got to be born
into the world
where,
like,
I was living free
and we're complaining
but it knew.
We were struggling
to hold it together,
knew.
But like,
the nice life that we've had
is because that happened.
Aye.
And I think that's why
it's fascinating.
I also think it's very fascinating. Like, was one of the most freezing cold takes I have
ever seen in my goddamn life. And this is where like I am. Sometimes I think I'm far left and then
I go back online and I see for life. I'm like, Oh, I'm definitely center left. And because you keep
going so far that way, you're pushing me more into the fucking centre.
The coldest take I've ever fucking seen in my life,
and she will remain nameless,
was like when the movie 1917 came out.
She was like, how many more toxic male movies
do we need to like celebrate this?
Like big dumb words.
Like 17 year olds gave their lives.
Like teenagers and young
men and women
put their
literal lives
on the line
in the name of
that's
it's not
that they do
tend to ignore
other really important
historical parts
that they could be
talking about
in those movies
right
they could talk about
the fact that
there were all the
black soldiers
that served
for America
and then came back
and still had no
fucking rights
and where's all the
films about the
women making bullets?
Aye.
Constantly in the factories.
So yes, I agree.
I agree in the sense that yes, there could be movies made within that era that could
be tell the lesser known stories of the other fucking heroes because it was the machine.
It was the machine of the allies that won the war together.
And we shouldn't just always focus on the people
on the front line and the fucking generals doing it.
But you do not get to reduce the genuine,
a sacrifice none of us will ever have to make
or really understand.
Not none of us, I understand this people.
But even then, different type of war, really.
Like the wars that are being fought in our name overseas
are like
hey
we're going to give them democracy
we're going to make sure
they've kept democracy
as opposed to
our democracy
it's on the fringe
and being under attack
and
we just have to send
kids
people that can
fucking barely drive
that's what I love about
the modern war films
is that they're actually
casting teenagers
instead of just like getting like Tom Hanks
to pretend to be a kid.
Also, I'm going to say,
I'm glad women are at war, right?
Here's something I saw yesterday, right?
And I shouldn't be impressed by this
and I shouldn't be happy about this.
I saw a bin woman.
Nice.
A bin lady.
I've never seen a bin lady in my life.
Why have I never seen a fucking bin lady in my life?
Makes sense.
All women are trash.
I just feel like women could be better utilised.
I'd be like, why are you doing that?
Just get a grub today.
No.
Why are you doing that?
Forget that stanky-ass bloke picking his arse today.
Women are allowed to pick their bums, guy.
They're allowed to be scruffs
that's
that's feminism
lots of
lasses doing
roadworks and shit
in Australia
guy
guy
great
all for it
I think it was like
some Brazilian exchange
that they put on
I didn't think
they would get as much
I didn't think they knew
they'd get as much uptake
from lasses
but then they were just like
cool
aye
I'm absolutely fine cool but when's the job going to get finished so my question is I didn't think they knew they'd get as much uptake from Lassus, but then they were just like, cool. Aye.
I'm absolutely fine.
Cool, but when's the job going to get finished?
No idea.
So my question is... Put the money in the jar.
Put the money in the jar.
It's behind you.
Oh, aye, oh, so...
There's money in it already.
Aye.
Stick to it now.
We need to put in...
Because we didn't do any on the road.
But I really do think we should put a fiver in
for that suicide medley that we did
go against
this is 10 in that's 10
two fives one foot just
now I'll knock them down
it'll come up on the video okay and then also
five for all the suicide jokes we made that's fair
all right there we go
I feel like we're back up to speed now
probably not
I think we're probably all quite a bit in this podcast already mmm 50 tech 15 didn't bother I had a
fucking interesting experience yesterday Daniel uh-huh I felt like I was on a
kid in camera show yeah the guy come to collect me car if I ever just if I ever
thought I was on like a fucking ass and Kutcher prank show and I didn't like the way I'd reacted, like, let's say, because, you know, somebody pissed me off successfully and I actually did fucking snap in public.
Like Zach Braff did.
I don't know if you remember Zach Braff.
I know who he is from Scrubs.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
His punked is awful.
Like, fair enough.
There's a kid vandalises his car or he thinks a kid vandalises his car.
He fucking screams in this child's face. Like, real bad. fair enough there's a kid vandalises his car or he thinks a kid vandalises his car he fucking
screams in this
child's face
like real bad
does it
if I ever go into
a situation like that
dick out wank
they're not showing that
ah yeah
right
I call it
I call it the squid
right
well being fully racist
I'm like
there's a hidden camera
over there
fucking is there
shit
this is the only way
this is the only
can you fill the buttholes
aye
this is the only way
this isn't getting on MTV
cameras have stopped
filming ages ago
final live stream it
so a guy
a guy comes to me
door right
and eh
I was like
he had to click the car and he was like yep and then I and he's right he, right, and I was like, he had to collect the car.
And he was like, yep.
And then I was like, he has the keys.
And he was like, all right, thank you, bye.
And I was like, do you have any ID?
Yeah, I've got car keys.
I was saying, because he could have just been,
it was like one of those things where I was like,
oh, he could have knocked on the door for anything.
And then I was like presenting him with a car keys.
And then he just went to leave without doing any checks.
So I was like, he got any ID.
And then like he disappeared into the car for ages
and then like rummaged through the thing.
Your car?
My car.
And he pulled his ID over there.
Uh-huh.
So he went in with his bag on the passenger seat.
So he opened the passenger seat, went in there,
and he was in his bag
for fucking ages
and I'm just like
looking at him
where's his van
like where's he picking
this car up from
like where's he
like how
how did he get here
or like what's he
is he driving the car back
and he got dropped off
but I just didn't see him
there's no way he drove there
if he's driving away
that'd be
one of them big
like when we
when the other car
got dropped off
and when that car
got dropped off they brought like there was six or seven other car got dropped off and when that car got dropped off the broad like was six or seven other
cars on the wagon and the tech that one off and then go and drop the next one
off so I thought he was just got doing the runs getting collections mm-hmm but
he's just there on his own when he van and anyway he comes up with this ID that
was like didn't have his name of picture or anything on it and it just had like
the company's name and then I cross-checked it with a text message that I got saying that they were going to collect it.
And it still felt a bit peculiar that he was going to leave with the keys.
And then he gave us this ID and I took a photograph of it.
And then he went to leave.
And I was like, do you not have to do a check on the car or anything?
He was like, oh, I was just going to do it when I got home.
He didn't even say like back to the thing.
And his English was bad as well. Okay. well okay like his english it was from newcastle
it was a jody we just couldn't understand each other in manchester new blithe
and i like talking i was like do you not have to do like a check on the car like i mentioned in all
the stuff that i got like you have to do a check, a check on the car? Like I mentioned in all the stuff that I got,
that you have to do a check.
Because he's about to drive off in it.
And I'm like, I want you driving off.
And anything could happen between here and your house,
technically at home.
Anything could happen between now and your house.
Like, even if he scuffs an alloy, I'm getting charged hundreds.
And he just started whacking on the car
as if he'd, like, never done a car check before. And, like, there was frost on the top. And he went across the frost on the car as if he'd never done a car check before.
And there was frost on the top, and he went across the frost and looked at his finger.
Oh, like he fucking made he pop and is checking for dust.
Yeah.
Okay, so you don't have to do a thorough inspection.
I had a talk with him about it.
And he opened the car, and to get his thing, he took out an iPad, and he took out a thing, and he just exploded his bag out of it and like he opened the car and like all he to get his thing
he took out an ipad and he took out a thing and he just like exploded his bag out of the footwell
the driver's seat and everything and um he gets he gets his ipad out and this guy has never used
an ipad before in his life it would have felt like less of a hidden camera show if mr bean
come to damey car check i had to show him how to use his iPad right
he didn't know how to
he started trying
to do the thing
and log in
but it wouldn't let him log in
because he's not connected
to the internet
he keeps trying to get
on like facial recognition ID
and it's like
face not recognised
face not recognised
thumbprint
don't read into this
don't read into
I'm also
this is somebody else's iPad
that I'm taking away to
honestly
it honestly felt like
he'd mugged the guy
that was coming to collect me
that was coming to collect me
pa
and he was just
fucking winging it
with every question
that I asked him
and eh
give me a
not that it matters
but just so I have a
correct
picture in me head
why asking this
you know I
why asking this
come on
do the accent
do the eyes if necessary
Come on
What are we talking about?
I wish he was white
So I could have made a formal complaint
If this cut was Polish
Should we have a job?
Are we
Okay where are we going?
Where are we
Get prepared for money in the thing
Are we
Just put the money in the thing
Are we
Call centre I'd get prepared for money in the thing. Are we... Just put the money in the thing. Are we...
Call centre?
A modern day pirate?
Warmer.
Warmer than modern day...
Warmer than the Caribbean, Daniel.
Think Africa.
Okay, okay, okay. None of that mattered, right? Sweet guy. Think Africa Okay Okay Okay
That
None of that mattered
Right
Sweet guy
Right
Fucking
Here's the leprosy
No no no
No it's lovely
You've done the Dave Longley
To any who
What colour is he
When it doesn't matter
What was difficult
Was the language barrier
So what language
Was he speaking
Swahili
No he was speaking English Right okay But like It was difficult was the language barrier. So what language was he speaking? Swahili? No, he was speaking English.
Right, okay.
But like, it was difficult to communicate.
I understand.
What accent?
Do it.
Don't do it.
Actually, I was Captain Phillips.
You got it right.
Okay, okay.
So, he gets his iPad out, right right and to log into the ipad you have to put your code in and he just
quirties it right he quirties and logs in with quirt into his ipad and then he opens up the
thing and goes to log in and he types in his username as qwerty which i've just seen him
use a password and then he typed a password in and it was wrong great right and i
was like are you before this he didn't realize when he was trying to log in that he couldn't
access the login because you need to be connected to the internet he didn't know that he didn't know
that you had to be connected to the internet to log into the online file for this car and i had to
realize that and connect him to the internet but he didn't know how to
connect to the internet so i'm like you've never used this ipad like how the fuck are you going to
do this check if you've never once used an ipad so anyway i managed to log him in and i've been
super patient and i'm actually like playing it through in my head like i'm on camera because
this is like the only way i can be patient with this man is if I like call as a cynic right but I would have lost my fucking leg not if if he was a
scouser he would have been chipped yes right uh-huh right like this man had
additional needs mm-hmm in everything but appearance right and I had just gone
just help this man through this process he's
out of his fucking depth here he doesn't know what's going on so i managed to get him logged in
and then uh i managed to get him on the internet and then he goes to the login on the thing and
he types in the same start sending some emails hello i am nigerian royalty
and he uh he manages to uh type in the wrong username. And I'm like, is your username the same as your password to get into the thing?
And then he's like, oh, ugh.
And then typed it in because he hadn't realized that he was just typing in the same thing.
And he eventually gets in.
And then he starts going through this very, very extensive, thorough survey on the car.
And to me, I'm like, this is a really thorough survey on the car and to me i'm like it was about like this is a really thorough
survey and he was just literally able to drive away with my car every day in the the actual
meat and bones of his job and um some questions were coming up like he was going parcel shelf
where's the parcel shelf and he sat in the back seat of the car and i'm sat in the driving seat
of the car because we're keeping warm because it's freezing all right it's behind you
like that's the parcel shelf and then he's getting over but he's like glove glove glove box
i'm like the glove box yeah like is this a prank and then right i'm not lying here when i tell you
two hours to get through this form, right?
Fuck off.
Two hours.
Of your day.
Of my day.
Fuck that.
And it's fucking freezing outside, right?
And it's not light, but I've managed to get my windows open, the lights from the house,
and the fucking outside light.
So one side of the car, and he's doing the wheels, and it's really fucking obvious that
it's not going to let you take a picture of the wheel unless the full wheels in the picture.
And he's getting fucking close up of the wheel and it's coming up error.
And I'm like, just back a bit, mate.
And I'm like, I'm really patient and polite.
They can just come back a bit and then do that.
And I'm like, I could have took advantage of this guy.
Like, you know, if there's fucking loads of stuff wrong with my car, I could have absolutely fucking put myself through a clear clear thing it was like it wasn't like he was screwing me over with how shit he was he
was he could have screwed the company over with how shit he was yeah which was making me can i
spent 150 quid on getting the bumper fucking touched up because there was like a little
scratch that was like exactly 10 millimeters and it's like if you had to paint the whole bumper
because it was like within 10 millimeters and i'm like oh it had to paint the whole bumper because it was like within 10
millimeters and i'm like oh it's dead on i could i could lose like 600 pounds for a nanometer
if this dense so it's like oh fuck it i'll just i'll just cash out on 150 quid and get it fixed
now i'm just there again that was a waste of time and money getting that done um he gets run to the
other side of the car and it's fucking pitch black
and I'm like, do you want us to turn the car around
so that this side's in the light?
And he's like, oh no, no, I'll use my phone torch
and it wasn't very good.
Clearly not very good, right?
So I get my phone torch out as well.
So he's there with one hand with a phone torch
trying to take a photo with an iPad.
The motherfucker is like,
absolute boomer trying to take a photo. I ipad like motherfuckers like absolute boomer trying
to take a photo i'm just like well you're not yeah how old is this guy maybe he's 50 okay maybe he's
50 and uh he's trying to get a photo and i'm like trying to help him get the photo and we've got the
lights and like it took a fucking ages to get through and even at the at the bonnet right he's
taking a picture of the bonnet and the
car lights are on and it's pitch black and it's it's he took a picture of complete sheer darkness
and i was like well you're gonna need to take another photo that's not gonna work we'll knock
the lights off he's like oh it's fine i'm like why are you even taking these photos if you're
just letting it anyway baffling motherfuck out right at the very end of this two-hour inspection
he pulls a fucking head torch
out and puts the
head torch on
and he holds it
above his head
and he's like
I've had an idea
and then
and then it
comes up like
how
can I ask you a
question
I want to be
honest with you
how close were you if at any point were you and then it comes up like how can I ask you a question I want to be honest with you how
close were you
if at any point
were you
to racism
Shane Gillis
is a very good joke
which is people
people say
I'm not racist
and you're like
you can't say that
racism is like hunger
right
you're not racist now
but just wait until a cheeseburger
cuts you off in traffic
it's an excellent joke
Shane Gillis is one of the best comics going around at the moment he's excellent i agree with that
as a concept how close were you at any point no i'll tell you what i did i went one higher
you were sexist i was like you fucking dumb broad
not one higher than racism like one higher than like him on the chain of command like who the
fuck interviewed him and put him into a job yeah who the fuck like this guy not capable of this job
he's not like like i wasn't mad at him he was so far out of his depth that like he shouldn't have
been put in that situation and in the stupid, stupid motherfucker that went,
oh, let's send him to pick up cars and do the thing.
And as well, you didn't train him.
He wasn't trained.
He didn't know how to use the thing that he was using.
He's reading stuff that's in his second language
and he's struggling to read it.
You've got the wrong guy.
That's what it was.
I wasn't mad at him one bit.
I was like, you poor man.
You poor man you poor man
I bet you get
racially abused
aye
I bet you get
I bet you like
I bet you get people
that'll be like
looking at this bloke
and we'll send someone
that can speak
the bloody language then
right
but like you know what
send someone
that can speak the language
I'm not gonna take
anyone on him
aye
but I'll take the person
take another person
that sent him
he couldn't communicate it
He couldn't use the technology
Like
I don't
Like
I don't want to be ageist
Just say
He didn't speak the language
And he should go back
To where he came from
I know that's what you want to say
He did, Coven
I did
And I did as well
Because I checked
That'd be my Audi
like I fucking knew it
it might be
conicked
oh it was fucking funny though
I was finding humour in it
like I mean if like
I wouldn't two hours of my
fucking time absolutely
fucking not
under no circumstances
I would have left
I would have just been like
man it's done
it's over
like I don't even want to
trade the car anymore
we're finished here
and then phone the company
and be like
do that again
not a chance
because I
I rang the company
this morning
because they hadn't
they hadn't sent the email
with
like I was like
I need I need the email confirming that it's had its check.
You know when you're fucking connected to the internet,
but it logs you off because you've went to the reach of something
and it hasn't logged you back on.
He was like, right, sent, done,
and it'd come up like a fucking explanation point.
I was like, no, you need to send that through.
I need to see that that's gone before I gave you the call.
And then when that went through, connected me and then again i got it
through and i was like i've got the email and i rang up and i was just like look i'm not i'm not
going to put in a formal complaint but like i think that guy didn't know what he was doing
like you need to train your guys before yeah before they come to a place because uh because
it just he didn't know how to use the equipment that he had and I just think maybe he should do a bit more training with him
before he's done another job.
And then I come off and realise that I just missed the email that was there.
It had come through.
I am in the middle of...
I'm changing my Tesla.
I'm not upgrading my Tesla
I'm not getting the new
Tesla supercar
I'm downgrading
to a family
Tesla
because I have a family now
and also
also like
on the old Tesla
struggling to get the
fucking car seat in
and out of your coupe are you
no
man the
Tesla Model S
which I have is an excellent
it's an excellent family car
it's very low to the ground
it's got back doors doesn't it
yeah
and a massive fucking boot
a huge boot
right
it's really really good
and it's incredibly fucking safe
it's really good
I love that car
I will never go anywhere
other than fucking Tesla
it's the simplest car in the world
it's scale electrics
it's just a scale electrics
that they made bigger
and it's
it's the iPhone of cars.
It's for dumb people.
It's for the dumbest of humanity.
It's like, here's the lowest form of car.
We're going to give you so few buttons as possible.
So this is simple.
It's the iPhone of cars.
Everyone can use it,
apart from the guy that's coming to pick up your car.
He still hasn't understood the concept of.
I've
I've got too many
speeding tickets
with the Tesla
because it
you know
it has ludicrous mode
I don't need to go
not to 60
in 2.4 seconds
I don't need the car
to go 250 miles an hour
I don't need any
I don't
you're taking the power
away from your feet
to keep your license
and also
genuinely ever since
I did my fucking
speed awareness course
Cara will tell you
I am the most boring
driver in the world now
I do not speed
I'm fucking safe as fuck
that's how I don't get caught speeding
because you just
never catch a speed
at a different speed
but unlike you
I still go the speed limit
I get that
you don't want to take any risks
so
but I'm fine
look
I'm a family man now
I'm fine with it
I
you know
in the future
when I have another midlife crisis,
I'll buy a fucking supercar
if the need strikes me,
make fun of me there.
Phoning up, Tesla phoned me up.
They're talking me through,
this lovely guy,
he's talking me through
the fucking upgrade process.
And he's like, are you leased?
And I'm like, I don't know, man.
I don't do any of my finances.
Like I've got an accountant,
I've got a manager
and any of the home stuff is my wife
because I hate phone conversations.
I can't have phone conversations.
I don't understand interest.
I don't understand economics.
I've no interest in learning any of these things
because I'm in a position where...
Because I'm a man baby.
I'm a man baby.
That just eats and shit.
No, but why would I fucking learn
to do any of these very complicated things
when I can just pay someone who likes doing that?
That's their passion to do that thing
and they're trained in it.
Why would I learn six months
when I could hire someone
who's been doing it for 20 fucking years?
I'm trying to say this to Natalie about decorating.
Yeah, I'm just...
But I still end up decorating.
Man, if I want to do something
and it's my fucking passion i'll do
it i don't think it's a fucking man baby thing it's like it's the same thing of like why would
i people go oh you know it's cheaper to it's cheaper to get the bus than it's to take a tax
i'm like taxis are fuck it it's a privately owned fuck it it's i'm paying someone i think i would
i would be quite stressed out if i had because i mean you've got you've got a lot of money but
you've got such a weak grasp on any of it you don't you've got no understanding of where your money
is or how much you've got or anything like that i don't know how much i've got i know but like
even even when you're talking about your car finance like i know what my car finance is i
read through it and i signed it off and i know what money's coming in and out for me car. I would have bought it out, like,
Cara said you want to get on PCP,
and I was like, explain that to me.
And then two minutes into her explanation,
I was like, I stopped listening 90 seconds ago.
Yeah.
You clearly know how to do this, so you do this.
Why would I?
It's not important for me to do it then.
But anything like that, it's just something,
it's like, oh, it's a fucking head bus,
but i'm
buying a house or i'm buying a car or like i'm fucking you kind of want to know where you're
like where your money is and where it's going like you do you have any idea like what you're
waiting for and what's coming in because i like i never used to be that good at it but now i'm
like spreadsheet it up and i know exactly what's coming in exactly what I've been paid for
and like I've got
a much better
like grasp on it now
and my head feels
like a much tidier room
it's like so cluttered
when you're just
you're all over the place
probably less cluttered
when you've got more space
like you do
I've no
I've got
I've got really good
accountants
and I've got a really
good manager
like I've got
and I have several people
looking over and they're all
experts and they're looking over and that's what I
pay them to do. Right? And they'll come
in and they'll give me a little explanation of what's happening
and I won't listen because I don't care.
So do you have an accountant for your personal life as well?
No. No.
Okay, because that's what I'm talking about. I've got an accountant for me taxes.
Like I'm not going to profess to
know what I'm doing with my taxes. I'll give him all my
income and outgoings And he'll work out
What goes where
And how much tax I owe
And if I get fucking
Investigated
And I've done it wrong
I'm like
I'd be pointing my finger
At that guy
Yeah
Because he did it all
But with my personal accounts
Surely you know
What direct debits you've got
And what your outgoings are
And
Yeah
I can check my bank accounts
To see what my fucking Outgoings are But yeah I can check my bank account and see what my fucking
outgoings are
but like
I'm not
I don't
spend excessively
yeah right
like
I mean I know
and to some people
would disagree with
me there
and fair enough
but proportionally
proportionally for what I earn
I am
I'm not extravagant
in any way
so you can free yourself
of the burden of worrying
about that stuff
because you're always
going to be safe
and the second I'm not safe and i get red warning lights
from this several people that look after my stuff i'll maybe pay a bit more attention or i'll just
pay someone else i'm just not interested like would you like caitlyn to learn or would you be
happy for him to never know no no he needs to be a smarter person than me yeah he needs to be a way
more intelligent person than i am yeah absolutely he can't get to this stage because i definitely think i'd like to teach me kids better than i had about
money like i'd like to be better i'd like to be better educated than i was i really started off
on the wrong foot when it come to money i was i was taught i was taught to be smart with money
my thing was always and i was taught with family and agent was pay off your house pay off your house put everything you fucking earn it put as much of it as you possibly can into your house
do not get out credit cards do not get into that i was taught all that stuff so i'm good with money
i just don't understand interest i don't know some way i have to care and if all of it it's a
i guess it's like making sure that more of your money hits you instead of these big companies
you're like protecting yourself
from people
that are just dipping you
but I'm
again
you know me
I am the type of fucking person
that I will pay
extra money
to not have to phone
not have to do that
and that's probably
where these companies
will thrive
yeah fine
absolutely fine
I've got no interest
in talking
I've got no interest
in talking to some math loser
on the phone
for 45 minutes so you know like when it comes to paying like extra money on your house you know talking I've got no interest in talking to some math loser on a phone for minutes
So you don't like when it comes to paying paying like extra money on your house, you know
I've got like just a regular mortgage from like a company like Halifax or something over 30 years
And it's not like a high-risk lender or anything. Yeah
You would if you pay off a hundred pound extra on your mortgage every month, right?
Here these numbers. Mm-hmm numbers you save yourself 160 pound in
interest in the long run for every hundred you still own that hundred pounds because it's in
your house but you're getting 160 back in interest payment that you would just give to the bank for
every hundred so every thousand every thousand you get 1600 pound of your own money that you're
working for so this is it this might not be important to you,
but it's important to somebody that works one hour for 15 quid.
One hour of their time is 15 quid.
So if you're making that money,
that money, that £160 is going to the bank.
But if you can pay the £100 off,
you'll keep that in the long run.
I don't know what you've said
so when you tell me about I'm educated on money because I'm already
always told pay off my house pay off my house
pay off my house I've literally just explained to you
why you got that information and why it was good
information and you're just like
sure yeah but the angle was the same I'm still
good with flick but you're not thick
I'm just not interested you're not a thick man
you don't have to be interested to like
have knowledge
yeah you do
At least I do
Man
Look at my fucking exam results
If I cared about a subject
I would get a fucking A in it
And if I had no interest
In the subject
It wasn't a C or a D
It was an abject failure
If I'm not interested
In something
Gonna need a star and suck a dick
Hmm?
Nothing?
No?
If I am not interested
In something
I cannot
I just I cannot I just
I cannot retain fucking information
I tell you what I'm really bad at with that
Is anything under the bonnet of a car
Yeah
Like me dad would really have liked me
To have been interested in cars
I got to a point where I could change my brake discs
And pads
I could do that
But like I just fucking
It just had no interest in on any
for car look i put i invest my money well i don't invest my money i give my money to investors to
invest i tell them how i want them to invest it like i have a i'm like because they go do you
want high risk no risk and i'm just like ethical just ethical investments don't invest in war
don't invest in the death of the world.
Don't invest in any fucking evil.
What about robotics?
Yeah.
You'd invest in that?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
As long as it's robotics, like medicinal robotics.
Not just them dogs that go running with guns on their back.
Yeah, unless I get one.
That would be fun.
Saddle it up.
Yeah. I I get one. Ah, that would be fun. Saddle it up. Yeah.
I...
I like westerns.
So, the guy...
So, I'm on the phone
and the guy's talking to me...
The Tesla guy's talking to me
about my thing
and I'm like...
And I'm just...
And Cara's right beside me
and I'm like,
just tell me what to say
to this person, right?
And I'll...
Even though it should just be
a conversation between you two
since you know what language
you're both speaking, right?
Because it's in my name
I have to just be
this fucking middle man
of transferring information
between the period
the guy's lovely
there's no signal in my house
there's never been signals
in that fucking house
I don't know why
it's just
there's
you have to be connected
to the internet for a call
no
no you have to be outside
because the Tesla
aren't phoning me on WhatsApp
ah right yeah yeah
yeah
so
I'm at the fucking window right because I'm looking after Caelan the guy's phoning me on WhatsApp ah right yeah yeah yeah so I'm at the
fucking window
right
because I'm looking
after Caelan
the guy's phoning me
to come in for the
test drive
and he's saying
all this stuff
and I'm just
and I've got sun there
and I'm
everything's going on
and I'm explaining
I'm like hey man

I understand
I've got this
I've got this thing

I've got it for four years
I'm nearing the end
of the fourth thing
I need to transfer it over
because I'm not buying
the car outright I understand i understand this i understand
all i understand what the process is i don't understand what apr is and when i say i don't
understand that doesn't mean explain it to me because i'm just not going to listen not only
do i not know what it is i have no interest in knowing what it is it doesn't it's not interesting
um so i'm like here's the situation
as best as I fucking understand it
he's like
sorry could you repeat that
I'm hard of hearing
and I'm like
man fucking me too
not only am I hard of hearing
I'm hard of understanding
right

me too
aren't we all
yeah Jesus
you know me
fucking oh
big dumb cunt oh I'm sorry yours is or not he's like sorry man I'm like, yeah, man. Yeah, man, me too. Aren't we all? Yeah, Jesus, you know me. Fucking, oh, big dumb cunt.
Oh, I'm sorry, yours isn't that.
He's like, sorry, man, I'm a bit slow for learning.
Fucking me too, buddy.
I'm a big giant retard.
And I turn up there, he's like, hello.
I'm like, oh, no.
Sink a fiver in for retard.
For me.
For me.
sick of fibrin for retard for me
even though
even
even
my stance on the word
that word
has been well documented
on this fucking podcast
see that's another thing
is that
that guy who's hard of hearing
like
you can't be ableist
you can't
you can't be ableist
it's wrong
but
you're digging in
You're recruiting someone
For a job that's going to be
Using the phone
No no no
His wasn't
His heart of hearing
Wasn't because you
Couldn't hear
His heart of hearing
Is because I mumble
Right
It was
And it was me being too
It was
Me being too conversational
Like it was me not getting
To the point
Sort of thing It was me rambling
sorry Matt
so he's perfectly good for that job if you just
speak clearly
and also by the way
when it comes to, because I'm very aware
that my knowledge of fucking money
in the real world is
we're purchasing a new house and I'm
I'm like okay
I'm going to be across it this time
I'm going to pay attention when people explain to me
when I have to change mortgage
rates and why I'm going to have to change mortgage
rates I'll fucking you know I'll do that
I'll try
and be across it as much as I can
and then the lady
I don't know what her fucking job title is
but she's the person that does all the contracts for the fucking
house and stuff.
The other day she went,
I'll just,
this is all the complicated stuff,
I'll just do it.
And I'm like, thanks, man.
Thanks for acknowledging that that is your job
and that I don't have,
but if I was going in for surgery, right?
And like, let's say I had fucking heart problems, right?
I don't need you,
and maybe other people do, I don't need you to tell me what you're going to do to my heart. I don't need you. And maybe other people do.
I don't need you to tell me what you're going to do to my heart.
I don't care about the valves that go into the heart.
I don't care how the body looks.
And if I did, I'm just being nosy.
Yeah.
Right?
I do not need to know.
I trust you.
You're a fucking surgeon.
They wouldn't put a stethoscope around your fucking neck, right?
And maybe that's me being too trusting.
And maybe it'll come back and bite me in the ass one day.
Fair enough.
But I like to have faith in the people that i employ and the people that i trust i have trust in them that they're
i like to believe that the world is good yes there are big corporations that are fucking evil and
awful and they're trying to get money out of you but i do believe that most people in a fucking
face-to-face level are human beings aren't going to treat you like that and people who disagree
with that i think you're on the internet too much and because we're super fucking divided
because the media wants us to be divided,
it feels the way that you can't trust people.
I like to inherently fucking trust people.
If a doctor, if my dentist was like,
we need to take your tooth out,
I'm like, can you explain to me
the bone structure of my jaw?
Take the fucking tooth out.
That's what I pay you to do.
You studied teeth for 20 fucking years.
So if you tell me my teeth need to be taken out,
I'm not going to be,
I'm not a do your own researchown-research person, right?
And do you know why?
Because do-your-own-research people
do less research than actual fucking human beings.
And that is proven, by the way.
People who say do-your-own-research
statistically do less research
than people who do not say do-your-own-research.
That is verifiably true.
What people who say do your own research do
is try to find anything on the internet
that backs them up.
Backs up their stupid ideas.
Why would you do your own research
on any of this stuff
when somebody has...
That's what the research is.
These people have been doing this research
for 20 years on vaccines, right?
I trust them.
They've been doing the research for 20 years.
I'm not doing 20 fucking
years or research on vaccines before i take a fucking vaccine i'm gonna look at the people who
i go you're smart you're educated and you're unbiased you have that you have nothing to gain
in this you're not trying to sell the vaccine all right yeah yeah i i just have uh look and maybe
this will
come back and bite
me in the ass
one day
people can fucking
call me a fucking
man child
all you want
fair enough
so what about
when you've got
builders in your
house if they're
like they're going
to do a job
do you want
to know what
they're doing
well yeah
because those
are tradies
and those are
fucking con artists
70% of tradies
are absolute
fucking criminals
you don't worry
that a surgeon's going to do a bodge job on you,
just job and knock, the quickest route.
No, no.
Because those guys are psychopaths.
Yeah, and that is how we should use psychopaths, right?
If anyone's going to have a steady hand when they're cutting you up,
it's somebody that's psychic.
If your child, right, is just, and it's like,
I want to fucking cut people open.
I want to understand how the fucking body works.
Let's go through the right means.
Yeah, yeah.
It's like, if I don't flinch, if I put a blade onto human skin and I pull
downwards and all this blood, all this stuff
that belongs on the inside is now on the outside
and I love it being
on the outside because that allows me to see
how it fucking works
Sweet, can you do me a little tip?
Like get
your fucking knuckles
Let's not put these psychopaths into but then again i think
the opposite should be true if you've got somebody who's like hey i understand money
really i understand math really really well and i understand if you do this and you do this and
you do this you can technically get that much this much back maybe yeah you should be a financial
advisor you shouldn't be a fucking banker no no no be on the right side be on the
right side i didn't do that for the banks yeah yeah yeah like hey are you on the wrong side dude
yeah yeah look if you're good if you're good with fucking maths and numbers become like a
financial advisor become somebody that does tax for people who actually need it and i don't mean
me i mean actual people
who who could do with the assistance to that as opposed to doing it for the big fucking corporations
in the same sense that if you love blood become a surgeon and not a murderer i the reason i don't
pay attention to a lot of this stuff and i'm in a position where I'm very very privileged to not have to worry about money
so I don't
right
it's
like a lot of the time
when people tell me
you know you could save
1% there
you could save 2% there
I'm like
I don't fucking give a fuck
about 1 or 2%
I know that's an incredibly
fucking privileged thing
to fucking say
but a lot of the time
for me
it feels like
you know
hey if you give that homeless person money they're just
gonna spend on drugs i'm like that then that or oh that homeless person there that she's actually
not homeless she's actually faking it and if you give her money you're falling for the con i'm like
that says more about her character than mine right i'll not allow my son yeah to fucking see me not
give money to someone because i'm skeptical aboutical about their intentions. If they want to fuck me over, right,
and it's a fucking over that I can take
and it's not hugely detrimental to me,
then fine, okay, somebody got an extra 50,000, 100,000 quid out of me, right?
So here's what's terrifying, right,
is that what you have there with your perspective of money,
your lack of understanding, right?
You've got that on a small degree
compared to the people who are running the economy.
The people who are running the economy
have your lack of perspective times a million.
And then they're trying to run the economy
for people who are on the breadline.
Which is why I'm not a financial advisor.
Which is why you're not in charge of the economy.
Imagine they put you in charge of the economy,
how bad it would be.
You don't have to imagine it.
That's happening.
That's what's happening.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm not claiming to be a fucking expert
or even competent with it,
but that's why I'm not in any position.
But you wouldn't just go,
well, I'm doing all right.
I could deal with money fine like for everybody else
like I
pay
my taxes
I pay most other people
I fucking pay
most of the Tories taxes
you pay so much tax
oh god
aye
and I don't
and I don't
fucking skimp on it
I don't
I have been offered
the fucking
the Jimmy Carr stuff
right
I've been offered the hey we can save Carr stuff, right? I've been offered the, hey, we can save you this much money.
And it's like, no, right?
A belief that I have always had, right, is that,
and this is something that I have friends who are Tory, surprisingly,
and this is the one bit where I've not converted them,
but I've converted a line of their fucking thinking.
I can tell you that
there is a certain amount of money that you can earn that beyond that it doesn't
matter and anything else is just great yeah and I don't have great right I'm
there I'm super fucking privileged I am super super privileged and very lucky to
be in the financial position I am right and I don't want anymore I don't need
anymore yeah and so that you've been
like i can earn you an extra 10 next year i don't want an extra 10 next year yeah i don't need an
extra 10 next year it makes no difference 10 the extra next year it's just it's going to be more
tax right right and then like i mean i guess i could give more to charity which i you know i
certainly will yeah i think i think it's different for you
because, like, all, like, your family's doing all right,
but then I'm sure, like,
if you just put that little bit of effort in,
like, Matthew or Jack could do with the money
and you're giving 10% of this fucking company
and you're just like,
you just give it to these cunts to have a bit of time.
Phone me up.
You can phone me up and be like,
hey, there is £25,000
with your name on it
and all you have to do
is tell us
what APR
stands for
you'd hang it up
I don't care
I don't
I don't need
that extra £25,000
you did something
fucking wild
in the airport
we had to check in a bag
because we did
for some reason
the bag wasn't added
to one of the flights
on the tour
and normally that shit hot with stuff like that but we're just like oh you have to check it in at the for some reason the bag wasn't added to one of the flights on the tour.
And normally that's shit hot with stuff like that.
But we're just like, oh, you have to check it at the desk.
So put it in at the desk and keep your receipt.
So I come away, you check it in at the desk and you go actually put this one in as well.
And I was like, oh, that's hand luggage.
You've got that.
It's already on.
You can take your hand luggage.
He's like, it's got me toiletries in.
So I had the 100 mil.
I had to chuck them out. And you paid for an extra bag. So, like, I had the 100ml. I had to chuck them out.
And you paid for an extra bag so you didn't have to chuck your toothpaste.
No, and my fucking very expensive wedding cologne
that Cara bought me.
Oh, right, okay.
Ah, you didn't explain that.
You didn't explain that to me.
It's in my toiletries bag.
I literally just watched you pay, like,
I thought you were paying an extra fucking 50 quid
for toothpaste.
No, no.
I was like, like man we're on
different planets yeah so it's a bit more sentimental yeah it was my my my cologne that
i wore on my wedding day with my darling perfect wife that oh my god and my electric fucking
toothbrush and everything you take a toothbrush um no but also i'll tell you right now I Like bag there
Bag there
And they're like
Do you want to transfer stuff
Between the bags
50 quid I'll pay not to
Ah yeah
100%
Yeah
Ease
That's what it is
Yeah I suppose
That's a different
You know you've just been
Looking out to fucking
2000 people a night
That have bought a ticket
Like it just
That starts becoming like
A fiver to you
No no no I of you No no no
I don't
No no no
And look
Cara's very good with me
I hate losing my perspective on money
I love it comedically
Like I love winding up
Cara and Cullen and stuff
Pretending
Like leaning into the
I don't understand things
But whenever I do feel like I am losing
Touch a little bit
Like I i find it
very important to be reined in but nothing will make me laugh harder than winding up cara by
watching television and they're like today's price is a hundred thousand pounds and i'll just be like
but that's not even the price of a car that's always funny to me that's that's but if i actually
believe that in my heart of hearts,
you have permission to break my neck.
One thing I would never want to hang out of my software is working class guilt.
I don't have working class guilt. I have immense wealth guilt. I acknowledge that I don't deserve
the amount of money that I have in comparison to there are infinitely more important
jobs done by better and smarter people than me that are more crucial to society that see one
percent of what i earn i think people i think doctors should be paid what i earn and uh i think
fucking you know um healthcare workers social care workers fucking uh care workers Fucking
Care workers man
Should be paid as much
That's what
It's the classic thing
With footballers
And care workers
Like why
Why are footballers
Getting paid millions
When care workers
Are on practically
Minimum wage
And you know like
That's not how capitalism works
The amount of fucking money
That's gone into football
Like
The memories should Put in a way of like Siphoning a lot of it And supporting people works though the amount of fucking money that's gone into football like the members
should put in a way
of like
siphoning a lot of it
and supporting
people
you know what
there is a way
a lot of footballers
give to charities
as well
if
you were
to tax
the rich properly
right
and if
the rich were to pay
taxes the way
I pay taxes
which is
Jesus Christ that tax bill hurts because it's a lot.
It's more than half of my money.
More than half of the money I fucking earn goes to fucking tax.
And that sucks shit.
But then you've got people that are dodging that.
And if you taxed fucking Amazon, if you taxed the fucking Tories, if you taxed these fucking corporations and you were to use that fucking tax money for what it was for.
Not on the expenses of already rich people.
Uh-huh.
Then capitalism would work, right?
Look, I might be fucking center left,
but if capitalism was done properly,
in the same way that I believe
if socialism was done properly,
it would work.
If capitalism was done properly,
it does work.
The reason we are in late stage capitalism
is because of the fucking greed
that we have allowed people to get away with.
Greedy cheaters.
That's the only...
That's the fucking reason.
If you were to tax Jeff Bezos,
if you were to tax Elon Musk,
if you were to tax these people
and actually get the money
and use it the way they...
and stop them to add...
I've always said as well,
100% tax after a billion.
Everything after a billion
adds back into the system.
No, no, no.
And you're playing for prestige now.
No, no, no.
Five million. Yeah, prestige now No Five million
Yeah five million
Five million
Yeah
That wouldn't work on a company level
Because companies
Would need more than
On a personal level yes
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody in the world
Needs more than
Two million
Pounds a year
Nobody
There is nobody
Who needs more than that
Doesn't matter how big you are
How important you are
Nobody needs more than Two million a fucking year Right big you are, how important you are. Nobody needs more than 2 million fucking hair.
Right?
And that's...
But there's a lot of people
that would need that spread between them.
Yes.
Uh-huh.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right.
So that's the message of the podcast.
Tax the rich.
All right.
Yeah.
But going fucking tax,
I know that's, like, me.
But, like, there's a's I'm not the rich rich
like I'm just the rich
that's like in the
in the papers
you're also not dodging
I'm not fucking dodging
fucking check
go through
go through everything
I've fucking done
I have never
ever in my fucking life
I will bitch about tax
I will moan about fucking tax
right
but not
where it matters
or where it fucking counts
