Hello podcast listeners and viewers, I guess.
Thanks for tuning in to another episode of Sloss and Humphreys On The Road.
We are on the road again.
We are in Vienna, in Austria right now.
So we spend a fair bit of the podcast talking about that
and how shit their breakfasts are.
It then does get a bit football-y for about 20 to 25 minutes.
It's not too much like about the tactics or anything,
but we just talk about it for a bit.
And if that's not your jam, feel free to fucking skip forward.
But there's some good stories in there and some good fucking chat.
And then at the end we talk about parenting.
And I think that was it.
I think that was it.
We were very hungover.
So, you know, it's funny at points.
And then there's heaps of dead air.
So, enjoy. Sloss and Humphreys on the road. hungover so you know it's funny at points and then there's heaps of dead air so enjoy

been since 9-11? How's your hangover? It's not, I wouldn't consider it a hangover, it's
more just, you know, when you're just tired after drinking. I don't have a sore tummy.
You should have come for breakfast with me
fucking Austrian breakfast man
we're in Vienna
welcome to the podcast guys
we're in Vienna
we were in Graz last night
uh huh
in Vienna the night before
we've got another show
in Vienna tonight
an overflow gig
in Vienna tonight
and em
I got up and went for breakfast
this morning
and forgot I was in Austria
em
I made the mistake before
in em
Meyerhofen
of going for breakfast
how the fuck
Austrians just don't sleep
until noon
when lunch is available
and they can have
like whatever goulash
well to be fair
is there
is
what European
cities
do good
breakfasts
none of them really
but this is by far
the worst
this is what happens
you like
you get the menu right
and it'll have just
a list of
ways to have
eight baps
not even baps
like a heel of bread
like a fucking hard
boulder of granite bread
something they've left
in the basement
for a while
like a basket
like do you have any
fresh beds
you're like yeah
but we're letting that
go stale
so it's ready in three months
like oh
can I have that now and they're like yeah but we're letting that go stale so it's ready in three months like oh can I have that
now
and they're like
what
why
it'll be soft
it'll be soft
and chewy
and flavourful
that doesn't
what do you think
bread is
it's for throwing
at monarchy
it's gotta be
it's gotta be
fucking hard
you need to get
a purchase
you can't
you can't
just put a window
out with a
hovis seeded
butch
it is just so much ofeeded butch it is just
so much
of the food
it is
shit bread
and cold
meat and cheese
and a boiled
egg
oh I didn't
realise I was
growing up in
Game of Thrones
you know what
that's exactly
what I was
thinking
is this a
breakfast off
Skyrim
can I have
a knuckle
of bread
please
can I get
a skin
of wine
to go with it
you fucking savages
so I
it's always like sportsman's breakfast
and it'll be like 8 bits of hard bread
a boiled egg and a horseradish
like what's the sport
no one day is so bad at sport
hunt us breakfast
it's like
the bread's like the soul
of the foot of someone
who's walked the desert.
I don't know what else,
I don't know what else can I say.
It's fine,
you can go,
but that's,
I was going to try and lift you out of there,
but you seem confident through most of it.
Yeah,
I bailed.
Austrians are as good at breakfast
as the Asians are at dessert.
I get it.
Even when we were in a Michelin star Szechuan restaurant and
and barang really tried to big up the desserts they still brought out the
dessert you get at a Chinese restaurant, at every Chinese restaurant. I just don't
understand how like culturally you can consistently have the best starters, the
best main courses, like here's some of the best gyoza you've ever had in
your fucking life here's a dumpling soup here's this like chicken that we've done in this fucking
weird way and you don't want fucking cow tongue i bet you think that's gonna be gross actually
not all these lovely spices we've spiced it well and then for dinner you can have like ramen or you
can have bao buns and all these delicious things you're like oh man two of the finest courses i've
ever had in my entire life what do you you have for dessert? Green tea flavoured foam.
Yeah. And also this flapjack got really dry, so wet it.
Aye, just with water though.
It's literally wet dry food. It's kibble.
Green tea is not a flavour anyone enjoys outside of green tea. Stop putting it in things. And also, man, I get rice is class.
Who doesn't like rice?
It's a staple of so many things.
It's not a fucking dessert you daft cunts.
Rice pudding, I know we do it in the UK,
that's the punishment dessert.
That's what I used to have for dessert.
And I'm really poor.
And they're just like,
it is coconut-flavoured rice.
I'd rather fucking die.
Why don't the Chinese just go,
right, you see how everyone else is killing it
with like fucking sticky toffee pudding
and fudge brony.
Why don't we just give it a shot?
Lads, lads, I'll tell you what I've done.
I've actually come up with
a chocolate dessert
oh
absolutely brilliant
well done Dave
I don't know any Japanese names
and I'm too scared
to get it wrong
that's great
what is it
it's
Kit Kat
great
the Americans love those
it's green tea flavour
motherfucker
and also somehow
I've made it pink
why
does that add anything to the flavour no but it's fucking sick for the gram love those. It's green tea flavour. Motherfucker! And also somehow I've made it pink. Why?
Does that add anything to the flavour? No,
but it's fucking sick for the gram, I tell you.
Have you ever had bubble tea?
Bubble tea? Aye. Like soda stream tea? No.
Well, what else is it then?
Hold on.
He asked me if I had bubble tea,
so my head went
instantly to tea with bubbles. As opposed to the very famous bubble tea So I just Went Head went instantly Tea with bubbles
As opposed to
The very famous bubble tea
You know that
You've seen people
Fucking drink it
It's that
It'll be a big
Clear
Cup
Of like
Some fucking liquid
And it's got like
The little balls
The little jelly
Have you not seen bubble tea?
Oh
Have you seen bubble tea?
Where?
It's everywhere
Everywhere Everywhere Bubble tea What in the shop? No have you seen bubble tea? Where? It's everywhere.
Everywhere?
Everywhere.
Bubble tea.
What, in the shop?
Can you get it from Asda?
There's bubble tea places where people will queue up
for ages outside.
You're making this up.
Oh, fuck it.
How do you not know bubble tea?
It's huge in Australia.
I thought they were all queuing for trainers.
You only just see a random queue
in a city and you don't know
what you're missing. Oh, yeah. queuing for trainers. You know when you see a random queue in a city and you don't know what you're missing.
It's always trainers.
Apart from that one time it was Starbucks.
It was like the birthplace of Starbucks
and everybody queued for a Starbucks.
Even though there's just another Starbucks down there
that was like 7,021th.
7,021th?
That's right.
Go for it.
Bubble tea.
Wait, how are they?
I'll show you a picture.
Hold on.
I'm not mental here.
You're a bit mental.
I'm in general
but not here right now.
You're telling me
you've never seen
any of that
in your life?
That's juice Uh huh
What's the bubbles then?
Well I don't know
I've never had them
Because they look fucking
Man I think
I don't think they're as common as you think
They're huge
Definitely huge
No no
They're not
There's like
Specifically bubble tea restaurants
It's like
It's come over
Because it's huge in Asia
I think fucking Japan They love it there And it's like Made's come over because it's huge in Asia I think fucking Japan
they love it there
and it's like
made its way
is it like
you know
you're gonna expect like
Mark Steele
to not have heard of K-pop
yeah
and you're like
it's literally the biggest thing
on the planet right now
and he's like
yeah but why would I know
what K-pop is
yeah okay
yeah
yeah I mean he does have a gay son
so he should know what k-pop is.
And also isn't out.
Oh whoops well we'll seven minutes.
Bubble tea is I mean I've never had it right I think Jack's had it before and he's like it's
great but he's got a fucking weird taste it's like it's definitely cold tea right which is gross I
think do you like iced coffee? Yes,
but,
I'd rather a coffee,
it's like,
you know,
iced coffee's when,
you know,
fuck it,
it's sweltering outside,
and you want a coffee,
and you're like,
the last thing I want's boiling water right now,
I'll have an iced coffee,
it's like,
it's an answer,
but I wouldn't,
I wouldn't press myself for an iced coffee,
obviously I'm not, it's got to be hot, But I wouldn't press myself for an iced coffee. See, I'm not...
It's got to be hot,
otherwise I'm just not fucking interested.
Also, the ones that have, like, you know,
if you get them in the petrol station or something like that,
when you're travelling, you're like,
oh, I'm fucking...
I want to keep myself up.
It's literally just packed with sugar.
Right.
Well, this is cold fucking tea,
and I assume the teas are, like, different fucking flavours,
and then the balls
in the bottom of them
are like
little fucking
jelly balls
flavoured with something else
but I don't understand
because like
it's not like they burst
when they're in there
and then make the tea
there's just like a big
thick straw
where you drink all the tea
and then you just
fucking like
a very hungry Pac-Man
suck these balls
into the back of your throat
like
glug glug glug glug
like it's
and it's like frog spawn
aye
aye
okay
I'm listening
you
and this is caught on
yeah
hugely
yeah
yeah
and like I definitely see
I mean
okay
I was about to say
you'd probably
you're probably not going to find one in Newcastle, to be fair.
They definitely have them in Edinburgh.
They've definitely got them in fucking like Birmingham
and they'll be huge in London.
But I don't know.
I think it's, I don't know if people have actually taken to it over here
or whether it's just the Asians that live here being like,
look, there's enough of us that we like this thing
and we're all still there being like,
could you cunts stop doing dessert? Just stop stop it you're not good at sweet things it's not your
fucking forte but they've clearly got a talent for food what is it it was um because brang was
talking about as well it wasn't he was like arabic uh desserts as well he was like they've got
baklava and they just haven't got the balance right they're just like oh this is a sweet we're
just gonna make it really sweet and they're like oh no like try right. They're just like, oh, this is a sweet, we're just going to make it really sweet.
And you're like, oh no, like try and...
Well, because I feel like a lot of, like,
I'm going to get the term correct here,
it's like Middle Eastern cuisine,
or not Middle Eastern, like Indian cuisine
comes from, like, they just over-flavour everything.
And that was originally because...
They were in a hot country and meat rocks.
Meat would get fucking spoiled
and you can just
override the taste of
meat that's gone out of date
with all the other
and that's why
So you can make
the fucking sole of a shoe
delicious
if you need to.
And they do
which is why
as somebody who doesn't
like vegetables
if any country can
successfully feed me
vegetables
it's India.
It's going to be India.
Because they're like
it tastes nothing
like what it used to taste like. We've just put cumin we put turmeric disguised they're feeding
you vegetables the way i'll feed a tablet to piggy they're disguising it and i'm very grateful for
them that the only way vegetables ever go into my system is via fucking indian so i think maybe they
do that as well with uh just desserts they're like well you know what I put heap loads
of curry powder
into this
so why would I not
put all of the sugar
into this dessert
yeah
that's exactly
what they're doing
isn't it
yeah
which is like
okay well
sugar's class
why not
just all of it
and you're like
well I mean
I understand
your logic
if you're wondering
why we're hungover
today
it's because
for the past
couple of weeks
me and Kai have been very worried
because one of our
very
good friends
someone we love nearly
was given a real bad diagnosis
they were going to die
essentially
they were going to lose their life
we were so worried about them
not surviving
and thankfully
last night
football survived cancer
I was wondering where you were
getting with that. Our very good friend football had a real bad prognosis that a distinctly average
team were going to win the quadruple and then they didn't even come close.
They got halfway there. The bad half.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, look, I'm sure as a Liverpool fan,
it must have been very, very exciting
to watch 330 minutes of football in finals
and not see a single goal ticked.
And not even get to jump off your seat.
Oh, man.
Very nice Liverpool fans out there.
Yeah, you know, I'm friends with a lot of Liverpool fans
and I do believe they understand us laughing
like
I'm a very Chelsea fan
you beat us in two finals
you won two coin tosses but fair enough
it's really helped me understand how
much joy you got out of England losing
oh yeah
because at the time I was so like fucking caught up in the emotion of, like,
oh, that was shit.
Like, we just fucking
got so close and lost
and you were just like,
ah.
Then in videos
of you laughing and that.
Yeah.
We still use this
as a video of you
and Gareth screaming
when Croatia put us
out of the World Cup.
Yeah, the World Cup
semi-final.
And I still use that video
on you or Gareth
any time any of you
have bad news.
Any time any of you
have, like, oh, I've missed my train. I've missed my flight and I'm stuck in fucking Amsterdam or whatever. Oh, boo. you or Gareth anytime any of you have bad news anytime any of you have like
oh I've missed my train
I've missed my flight
and I'm stuck in
fucking Amsterdam
or whatever
or Boo
that's a bad example
but
if you travel a lot
you'll know
that being stuck
in Shipola
is not good
yeah no
god awful fucking airport
it's just too vast
anyway
if you're like stuck
I'll just use that
one of you celebrating
and I think it's because,
much like England,
even though Liverpool are like Liverpool first,
Liverpool, not England,
they still have the very English outlook
of enjoying your success with your middle fingers
pointing outwards to everybody else who's failing.
It's not weird.
Where class your shit?
It's like that, isn't it?
There's no humility in it.
And England fans are very much the same. It's never we're just happy that we're good. where class your shit it's like that isn't it there's no humility in it in england yeah england
fans are very much the same it's never we're just happy that we're good it's we're also thrilled
that you fucking suck and it's your it's the pride which is why it's so fun to it's the pride comes
before fall thing and then it's when the pride comes before fall it is hard to not find the fall
funny they've had fucking so much success this season. But if Newcastle had won the domestic cup double,
I would be so fucking happy about it.
Man, if Chelsea had won these two fucking finals,
I'd be a smart gun.
It would be fucking dreamy, right?
But I wouldn't be sat there going,
fucking come on, the quadruple.
Aye, aye.
I mean, look, they got high on their own supply
and they got there.
And, you know, I mean, you knew,
they knew something was up
because I didn't watch the match
because I was on stage,
but I did see there was lots of footage
of Liverpool fans crying before the match.
So they must have known something was up.
Was that a tear gas joke, Daniel? Well, they got tear gas. I know, sorry. I didn't have known something was that a tear gas joke Daniel
well they got tear gas
I know I'm sorry
I didn't have the
context for that
Daniel
behave
those children
I'm a bad man
I'm sorry
the problem is
like I mean
you're absolutely right
Liverpool's one of the
parties I think
that I really
like the most I always get
along with them
on a personal
level
oh but also
man their
fucking attitude
of like man
they fucking
hate the Queen
they hate the
Sun
they hate the
Tories
they hate the
rest of fucking
England
I'm like this
is a good city
like this is
fucking class
but it's just
you know
and then they
suck their own
dick about football
in front of you
and you're like
whoa I like you why are you sucking your own football in front of you and you're like whoa I like you
why are you
sucking your own
dick in front of
us man
that's
dude dude
you're in my
house
so Terry
Liverpool
fans
commiserations
well done
on a still
very successful
season
as successful
as Chelsea
this season
because we've
won the same
amount of trophies
I mean you've
won two more
European trophies
haven't you
oh one of them
was a global you won the World Cup so trophies I mean you've won two more European trophies haven't you oh one of them was a global
yeah
you won the World Club Cup
so I mean our ones were definitely
bigger but
but em
I know it's like
let's talk about how fucking
shite you AFR are
because I know you're getting like
a bit of joke you shot in Freud
about like ha ha
it was Liverpool fans
ha ha it was Rangers fans
but like
genuinely on a human level
take it away from the joke,
strip it back,
like,
don't be trivialising it
and you were crying
before the match,
right?
That was the funny thing
to say,
you said it,
right?
UEFA are a serious
breach of human rights
violations
on the last two
fucking European Cup finals,
Champions League
and the Europa Cup.
It was absolutely
fucked up,
the scenes that we're watching.
I'm very aware
that there is definitely
forms,
there's always going to be
some forms of fucking
hooliganism
at matches.
Hopefully they will find a way
to fucking stamp that
in the future.
But it'll always be there.
But to treat the majority,
which it never is.
It's usually families.
Aye.
The people that were
fucking pepper sprayed
in Paris yesterday, it was fucking peppers playing in parties yesterday.
But it was fucking
mums and dads
and kids.
And their ticket holders
trying to get into the stadium
and they weren't doing shit.
And it's like,
it's like,
people will want
to spin the narrative
that like,
oh,
it's Liverpool fans
with fake tickets
trying to get in
because it suits the narrative
as like,
my new fans
are opposing fans
or whatever.
But yeah,
just like,
no,
look at this for a second.
That could have been you if your team was any good.
You could have been there.
Me lastest dad and brother went to the Rangers game and they were taking water off people on the way in.
It was like 35 degrees in Seville
and they were taking water off people on the way in.
And like, you know, you take drinks off focus off focus you sell drinks it's like a closed market
so that happens sometimes right i don't think you're allowed to take a human right away
if i've ever gotten next if i've went in with a bottle of coke or something like that i think
i don't have a rugby match and they're like oh gonna take that off you i was like oh dude i'm
diabetic i'm not but I'm just like
you're not taking me shit off
it's like
I'm just going to make it look like
fucking he's
I can understand
taking booze off people
and maybe taking like
containers of water
with coke in it
because you're like
there's probably vodka
there could be booze in it
yeah
you cannot take
water's a human right
you can't take that away from people
so you think that's bad
despite what
i say i do believe rangers fans are humans yeah when you strip it all back when shit like this
goes down and you have to go whoa whoa whoa i don't yeah so i know i was being a dick there
but don't actually enforce any of my jokey evil opinions so um we're taking um phone chargers of
of people as well which is, you're away from home,
you're abroad, right?
You're in a fucking cops of people.
Cops, is that a good term for a group of people?
No.
It's what you use for trees.
Or copes.
Cops.
Copes.
Copes.
Have I been saying that wrong the whole time?
I think so.
Either that or I have.
Probably me though, right?
Yeah, maybe.
History suggests.
So taking chargers off people
which is fucking
bullshit right
but then also
taking inhalers
off people
taking the
medical inhalers
off folk
and then
so they get
into the stadium
and then
so it's a
fucking 120
minute match
plus penalties
and extra time
they run out
of water to sell to people and they and extra time. The run out of water
to sell to people
and they were queuing
to drink what out
of the taps in the toilets
which didn't you hear
a Celtic fan do?
Aye, aye.
It was a joke
I didn't understand online
but it was a Celtic fan
who sat with a bunch
of Rangers fans
two days after the final
in a bar
and said
I'm off to the toilet
do you want anything?
That's really funny anything that's really funny
oh yeah
it's really funny
but like
and then the
the plumbing just stopped
the water stuff
coming at the tap
and the water
all parched as fuck
trying to cheer
the team on
god
god
shame
now you know
what it feels like
for the rest of us
when we try to sing that song
That's how it should feel coming out of your throat
when you're Scottish
I've told you this as well
but we're on the podcast
my lastest dad was 72 right after the game
he got separated from everybody else
I think he just stopped at the shoelace
or something and people went ahead
and a guy come along and snatched his bag off him, he just stopped with his shoelace or something and people went ahead and a guy
come along
and snatched
his bag off him
he just fucking
grabbed it and ran
he's 72
he kind of
put up a fight
and he was just
left in Seville
with fuck all
what was in the bag
in the bag was
so he doesn't
have a mobile phone
he chooses to live
his life without one
he doesn't want one
he's like
I'll fucking get in
touch with people
if I need them
I've got the internet
in the house
I'll not be fixed
to it all the time
absolutely
what a bonkers
stupid old man opinion
man just like
days gone
days jigsaw
I respect it
in a house fucking setting
you don't have a mobile phone
when you go on holiday
you're a fucking mental case
it's actually a response
so that's the opinion
of Natalie and Alexander
aye
right
and they were like
you can't get on holiday
without a phone
I'm going to get you a phone
one you need a phone
for your ticket anyway
that's the world we live in
da move into it
aye catch up
sorry
she's like
I'll get you this phone
even if you just use it
for this one trip right
and I've put your ticket
on the screen saver
so you don't even need
to unlock it just press the power thing show the ticket and then I can get in touch with you if I need a ddefnyddio'r ffon i'r un tro hwn. Ac rwyf wedi rhoi ticet ar y sgrin-serfa, felly dydw i ddim eisiau ei ddatganu. Dwi'n gwneud y peth pwysig, yn dangos y ticet ac yna gallaf fy nghyfieithu
os oes angen. Felly mae'n rhoi'r ffôn i'w ddweud ei bod ei ddau ddim eisiau defnyddio'r ffôn i
storio'r adrwydd i'r hotel, oherwydd nid yw e eisiau defnyddio'r ffôn. Efallai ei fod yn rhedeg
y bateri. Felly mae'n ysgrifennu ei enw yn yr hotel ac yn ei roi ynddo. right so he writes his name in the hotel and just pops it in there right and he had
70 euros
in there
so he's fine
using money
he doesn't want
to use fucking
doubloons
or gold coins
he uses paper money
even though
that's all new
aye
but he's not
he's not willing
to use
Conagless
right
we've we've we've got to stop
Giving them medicine
After a certain age
We have to man
You're just
You're just not going to
Join in with the world
And get off it

Respected me like
I was just like
There you do you man
He's like
He's not fighting it
He's just not doing it.
No, that's fighting it.
They gave you a fucking phone with a note app on it
and to spite them, you wrote a fucking gesture
on a bit of paper with your quill in your ink pot.
Nah.
Nah.
Reprehend.
What a...
Oh.
Rachel.
Like, I think you're right
but also
I'm as bad as him
on the opposite end
of the spectrum
my habits are so bad
when we phone
of just
going to Facebook
and Twitter
and Instagram
and me Whatsapps
and every time
responding to shit
that's there
right
and then
and then me emails
and then going back
in the loop again and starting again and i could
have done that loop like six times before i click on i'm just sat there in an airport i'm sat there
just like waiting for the pickup for in the hotel or something so i didn't want to like commit
myself to anything so i just pick up all these habits and i'm like i'd much rather be in bobby's
headspace than mine where my. Where my habits are that.
Right?
If you could find some middle ground between where most of society is
and where he is.
Then yeah.
Because he looks at us
as ridiculously as we look at him.
When really,
being somewhere in the middle
is probably ideal.
Oh, I had to go with that.
So anyway,
yeah,
his passport was in there as well
Right
So he gets it snatched
He's in Seville
He's fucking lost everybody
He's gotten off
And he's in his 70s
And then
He just goes to the police station
And they
Describe the guy
That mugged him
And
The police were just like
Oh
Paul
God he must be good
at descriptions
that's what I was thinking
fucking
remind me never
to play guess who
with your father
he must have
fucking been real good
and then
they went and
got the guy
he was
six foot two
Caucasian
short back and sides
two on the top
Sagittarius I believe
but
based on his
greeny blue eyes.
He had a mole on his lower back.
He still had some of his baby teeth, but just at the back.
Jesus Christ, man.
So he described the guy on match day, right?
And the police were like, oh, yeah, he operates out this area.
We'll go get him.
And they went and got him.
Oh, no.
oh, yeah, he operates out of this area, we'll go get him.
And they went and got him.
Oh, no.
And they got him.
He says you could hear him shouting on and stuff in the police station.
He was just in the other room.
And then they come through and they were like,
well, yeah, that's your phone as you described it because it had the ticket on the screen saver with his name on and shit, right?
So they're like, there's your phone back.
And there's your €370.
And Bobby was like, 70 euros?
And the police were like,
370 euros.
Don't make me
file more paperwork.
Also, do you want his shoes?
We've confiscated them
because he might try and kill himself or kill somebody else.
And a pair of Reeboks.
Do you want those?
It's so weird, Mr Old Man, that seems to hate mobile phones
because it appears you brought seven with you to Seville.
You brought some iPhones.
You brought a couple of Galaxies.
Yeah, you brought several wedding rings.
How many people are you about to propose to?
how many wives do you
how many people
are you about
to propose to
yeah
who are all
these pictures
of other people's
kids on your
other phones
like it's
some sort
of secret
life
so I just
want to go
to get out
we've got
Davy Jones's
chest here
for you
so
they just
poured out
all this
fucking
all this money on the table.
And he was like,
just being so upstanding.
Aye.
Like,
I don't know if he believes in karma,
or whatever,
right?
He's just like,
he doesn't want to take the money.
And the police are like,
you got robbed,
man.
Take the compensation.
I know,
because of insurance.
Yeah,
we could fine you,
because it's connected to your phone,
right?
We're not going to just fine the people, who got robbed of just it's connected to your phone, right? How can I just fine the people who got robbed
of just money? Aye. Did anyone lose
this? Be honest!
Be honest!
300 people lost a dollar. I know
this is a street full of Rangers fans, but can I have
a little bit of honesty here when it comes
to cash? So
had the phone and the money, right?
But that's so good.
This is just a bit of
probably incorrect
I don't know
take it to my part
in my head
I'm like
Spanish cops
must be the fucking worst
aye
and the fact that they
clearly were not
is
but you know what it is
that dealing with
football fans
for the most part
right
and then just this
really well
spoken polite
older gentleman
comes into the place
and he must just
there's a book
hanging out of his
back pocket
that he can read
during the afternoon
yes
yes
yes
and they're like
oh well this guy's
innocent
we'll go
we'll solve your crime
100%
yeah so they
they give him the money
and he justified it
in his head
he was just like
well the emergency passport
is going to cost us
about that
yeah
right
so I'll take the money
because then I'll not be
able to pocket it
once I get my passport back
and he goes to the hotel
where
his son is
and a couple of his friends
and like fucking
where have you been
and he's like a bit flustered
like well this just happened
but it's not all bad
like I've
I've fucking won the lottery
so
but he's like
but I'm going to have trouble
getting home
because
my passport
and
what else did I say
so
so the fucking
the hotel they're in the hotel busy
hotel lobby it's after the football there's been loads of pandemonium so everyone's just like i've
got a druth or whatever they're talking about they're all drinking out the phones and uh
alex he has his name in somebody else's mouth i was a fucking way right and he's like did somebody
just say my fucking full name alexander lane and then um he's like listening out for it and then he hears it
again and he just walks over and went you're saying my name and there's a lassie on the phone
she's like are you Robert Alexander Lane he was like oh that's my dad and then he's like oh I
found his bag he's got his passport in and little note with the hotel name and address and all that on. Mother fucker.
And I bet your father-in-law was like,
going right to the police station to hand this money back.
And they're like, lock the doors, don't let me in.
Just fucking keep it.
It's going to look like a bribe at this point.
Sorry lads, I don't need it for my passport.
We don't care.
Fuck off. Something good happened to you. Let it happen. I told him that I don't need it for my passport we don't care fuck off
something good
happened to you
let it happen
so I
he ended up
getting his passport
and he's
over the course
of six hours
he had
the most remarkable
bad luck
and good luck
in the same
in the same sitting
and he was going like if he was
gonna if that like happened on something you know i feel like that got written into the tv drama
you'd be like it would look like lazy writing you'd be like oh i uh-huh uh-huh yeah i just
found all of his stuff in a city full of hundreds of thousands of football fans
thousands of football fans but I
that all went down
now the season's over
aye it is
and then
the new season will start
is the World Cup
still happening
in December
I cannot get my
fucking head around
how that's gonna
work
I can't get my head around
like don't be wrong
I know we live in a world now
where like
corruption
is visible
literally everywhere
but to be that
to be that openly
blasé about it
yeah
yeah
Qatar
the football
world cup
do you want to know
my earliest memory
of Qatar
yeah
remember FIFA 95
the game
was it the original
one that one maybe FIFA 95 it might have it the original one that one
maybe
FIFA 95
it may have been 96
but
could have been both
Qatar was the worst team
by males on it
I'm surprised
they were even in it
had like half a star
right
and
what we used to do
is let
my friend Andy
be Brazil
and we'd be Qatar
and then we'd only keep the goals down to like 10.
You can put up a fight.
Andy, my friend who has Down syndrome.
That's how we used to offset it
so that he could have a decent game of FIFA
against any of us
as we would be Qatar.
So I just remember it as being
the worst nation in football.
It's just so...
I mean, do we just accept open fucking corruption and everything?
Just because it's so obvious and so clear that we're just like,
well, I guess that's just how the world works.
Like, they used to have the decency to do it behind our backs,
but now we've got instant access to information all the time.
I was out there in 2017 doing gigs and the stadiums were all but built.
They looked pretty much finished
as we drove past them and that.
I was getting told about the fucking amount
of deaths involved building them
because what they would do is,
it's illegal for anybody to work
when it's over 50 degrees outside.
But the weatherman just always reported it
so they started
making thermometers
that only went up
to 49 degrees
aye
pretty much
aye
so they just
fucking skewed
a system that's
already shit
they skewed it
and I was
listening on the
podcast about
like workers
coming over
and getting their
passports taken off
them and shit
like that
like from the
Philippines
and like ending up
like working out there for practically
slavery because they can't get anywhere
and just living in absolutely
bullshit conditions
so they could build these stadiums
the human rights violations involved
in building these stadiums
so that the football can be there when there's already
infrastructure in place in
every other fucking city
and other footballing countries countries there already infrastructure in place in every other fucking city. Aye.
Yeah, and other footballing countries.
Yes.
Countries that love football and play football fucking regularly.
Is Sepp Blatter in jail?
Nah.
I've no idea.
Probably not.
Nah, they didn't get him to jail, these guys. He probably does after dinner speaking.
Aye.
People are like, you know what, when he's up there telling jokes,
he's actually a A very very funny man
Very good hearth
And em
The thing is
With it all
So it's happening
Over Christmas
And the beauty
The beauty of the
Fucking
International tournaments
Is that like
I'm talking to people
That aren't
A lot of people
That listen to this podcast
Probably don't watch football
But they probably do
Get Get the spirit Of going out Into a beer garden And getting behind a lot of people that listen to this podcast probably don't watch football but they probably do get
get the spirit
of going out
into a beer garden
and getting behind the game
even if they're
different are the rules
because
the whole nation
gets wrapped up
maybe he's not so much
to American fans
I don't know
probably not
no I think
in more recent years
the Americans
have been
becoming a bit more
into
soccer
yeah but because we were in Vegas when the European Cup final was on once the Americans have been becoming a bit more into soccer yeah
because we won
Vegas when the
European Cup final
was on once
and
nobody seemed
that interested
were we?
Portugal won
2016
oh yeah
so
I'm not sure
if this lands
with everybody
but I think
the nation
of England
like people
that aren't usually into football,
don't know a single footballer's name,
they'll just start getting a little bit like,
there'll be a sense of civic pride for the nation
because we're getting behind a group of young lads
who seem like gentlemen,
and the manager's fucking class and all that.
He's a good role model,
and everybody just seems to,
in this divided nation,
everyone just seems to get together
and enjoy themselves.
And it's such a summer vibe.
Maybe the people of Qatar are going through the same thing.
Who knows what the political situation is out there.
Maybe they're all like, this will be the thing that heals our country.
You killed seven generations of my family building that stadium.
Okay, well, you're not coming to the game because you've got bad juju.
Gay. Bad juju.
You're not going to get behind the club.
You're just not picking up the spirit of the occasion.
But no, it's over Christmas now.
It's going to be an indoors thing, which is grand.
It's nice having people around your house and stuff.
Like when we watched Scotland versus Serbia in your gaff.
We did.
It was nice, you know. It was nice Serbia in your guff it was nice
it was nice for
you
it was nice for
you
it was horrible
128 minutes
for me
until the end
I saw Mark
Nelson belly
flop onto
hard marble
he jumped up
in the air
to the height
of his own
head and
belly flopped
onto marble
that was a
good day
Scotland get
to become
the bad guys
on Wednesday
because
Scotland have not
qualified for a
World Cup
since
1994
oh no
we were in
8 weren't we
aye
so it's been a very
very long time
and we're in
the playoff
semi-finals
look
they've had the
Eurovision song contest they cannot have the Eurovision Song Contest.
They cannot have the football and all.
We're against Ukraine.
And look, obviously,
I want to win that football game,
but don't kick a man when he's down.
Oh, dude, man.
You're going to get to feel what it's like
supporting England
when everybody else
supports the opposition
aye
you're just like
are we
are we the bastards here
aye
like man
like if it was
if it was England v Ukraine
I'd be like
have
do the right thing
right
play 87 minutes of football
get whatever the score it is
3-0
and you go right
we would have qualified
and then put four goals
into the back of your own net
like you know
that charity match
when they let Gazza score
55 but moving runs
like he's in his 70s
and he pops a goal in
at one mile an hour
they keep a dive
out of the way of it
just do that
just let them qualify
for the World Cup
you know
it's
they're
fighting the
new Nazis
like
how can
you cheer
against
how can you
how can you
sully their
morale
you know how
good it would
be for their
morale if they
got through to
the World Cup
in the midst
of like
they need
every like
uplift of
spirit they
can get
and you're just
there going no no we've got to get knocked out in the group stages or not even probably worse you're
probably going to get beat off wales in the playoff final so you've got that you've got that to deal
with before the corrupt world cup of the winter that is going to be in December during the season
and during Christmas.
Everyone's already got stuff on.
Aye, we're busy.
Yeah, I can't imagine.
For people that hate football,
that must be so fucking annoying
because that's the same thing
when you spend with your family.
Imagine you're a wife,
you don't particularly like fucking football at all.
You've got three kids,
they're into it.
It's sometimes only one person in the family that likes football.
It's Christmas time, you like Christmas.
It's time you get to spend with your fucking family.
I'm going to watch the game.
Fuck, we're going to go see Santa, motherfucker.
We've got shopping to do, we're going out to the shops.
How many cunts do you reckon?
What percentage of fans at the World Cup are going to be dressed as Santa?
Do you think that's going to be a thing?
100% 100%
which
which mad by the way
in the middle of a fucking guitar
in a fucking big fat set up
doing it for the laughs
but
yeah
do you want to know what else is going to be planned?
there's going to be so many dead Santas
there's going to be so many dead Santas
there's going to be
I never thought I'd say this but there's going to be so many dead centers there's gonna be so many dead there's gonna be i never thought i'd say this but there's gonna be so many uh floating centers in the arabian sea
because they've ran out of hotels and they're pulling up cruise ships
too it's for the fans to stay on but like it's going to be mixed fans on cruise ships imagine
imagine like being at a host like a game that's like closely fought and all that there's a little
bit of hostility there might have been a fucking dubious sending off and all that right and normally
you would get like the the fans the away fans would get separated the home fans would get like
or shut out and then they'd be like
like on derby day or whatever this is a convoy imagine they're just going all right board that boat and we'll just float it out into international waters and just sort
it out amongst yourselves.
Clearly you didn't like the way the game ended so do it men to men,
woman to woman and here's a
knife for your
children
so
there's just
so much shit
going on
with this
Qatar World Cup
with the
fucking Saudis
taking over
Newcastle
are you telling
me there's a
potential
that there's
going to be
a boat load
of English
fans
like at the
World Cup
and if so
is Qatar
too hot for icebergs?
Is it definitely
too hot for icebergs?
Can you rent icebergs?
Can we tow one down?
How do you think it would be
if the Qatari
tourist board
didn't read the room
and put the tartan army in
with the
with the English fans
on a boat?
Do you think you should just
drink together
I'd hope so
because like
you know
I've been at rugby
games of England
Scotland
and man
you're sat beside
the fucking English fans
and it's alright
they sing their song
you call them names
you sing your song
they admit that
it's quite good
and then you drink
and you walk
because you say that
but I once tried to buy
an England top
in the Glaswegian JD Sports
and I thought I was going to die
well I still
think that's the most mental thing
you've ever done
in your fucking life
it was very funny
the girl's response
I couldn't believe
you would say that
I
had to
go against
all my
better parenting
instincts
the other day
and had to
drown my
son
oh yeah
aye
you had to
dunk him
under the
water
not just
dunk him
because that's
what we've
been doing
in swimming
class
you had to
hold him
under
not even
hold him
under
you had to put him under water,
down at your fucking thigh,
and then just let go.
And just...
But he's three months old, man.
And, like, they keep doing this thing,
and I understand it's important to do,
where before you go put them under,
you go, your baby's name,
so you go, Caelan, are you ready?
And then teaching them
about consent
making sure they
get ready to
prepare that
this thing's
about to happen
man this
cunt
I love him
he doesn't
know his own
name
he doesn't
know his own
name
man
he's at this
stage right
where he's
found his
hands
and he
loves his
fingers so
much
and all he
does is
spend all day
doing a
Kate Moss
impression
right
because he
just
he just
all he fucking he doesn't know what right because he just he just all he fucking
he doesn't know what's happening he just he knows he gets fingers in his mouth and he just keeps
making himself gag and we're like motherfucker stop it and he's just like like what are you doing
so he's just chewing his fist the entire time and the guy's like okay you ready to put your
son on and I'm like Caelan are you ready he's like making himself? And I'm like, Caelan, are you ready? And he's like... Making himself...
And I'm like, do I have to do this now?
He's like, he's never going to be ready.
I'm like, I don't think I should do it.
When he's opening up his fucking windpipe himself.
He's got it pried open with his fingers.
He's like, I want to get as much chlorinated water in this system.
Go.
What would you do if you went kill now you're ready
and he grabbed his nose
like Elliot Steele
I'd hold him under
I'd fucking hold him under
alright so
I mean
Cara's got the video
right
and
it's just me
looking at the camera
shaking my head
just going
I want to do this
and this happy little boy
he's chewing his fucking fist and you're like there he goes and you put him under and man they
they do float but matt there's never been a longer three seconds
i kind of imagine because like imagine you just as some fucking
like what's the opposite of miracle? What's when it's bad?
Travesty.
Right?
Just by some disaster, right?
Something went fucking hellishly wrong.
As you dunked him under, and when he floated you up,
there was trouble, and you needed to resuscitate him,
and the paramedics came, and whatever it worked out as, right?
How would you even explain that?
Oh, the man sent a dunk him under the water and let go.
He's like, is he drowned?
And your boy drowned.
If he went off,
throw him into that fire.
What would I do?
Is that next week's class?
He's going to dunk him
in the water after that.
Everyone did.
And he came up,
he came up,
he was definitely,
he didn't cry
and I think that's because
he had a lung full of fucking water
but he was there.
He doesn't enjoy swimming yet and I don't think any of this is helping yet.
But it's definitely worth it because I've seen videos.
There's a great one I saw, I think it's so funny.
This one-year-old kid, if that, is at the side of a pool
and her mum just goes by and goes, boop, pushes the kid in.
The kid's not fucking expecting it, but gets into the water,
like,
starts kicking his legs,
rolls over onto her back,
like,
takes two big gulps of air,
then goes back onto her,
doesn't use arms,
by the way.
Like,
it's just,
it's just their legs.
They're just,
like,
a little fucking,
like,
you know,
you know when tadpoles aren't frogs yet,
but they've got the back legs?
Yes.
That's a great analogy. Because I've seen that, like, working at the sports center all them years, like, but they've got the back yes that's a great analogy
because I've seen that
like working at the sports
centre all them years
like life gone
you would see like
babies that could just
like look like babies
but like one or whatever
like two
but it's
I think it's such an
important thing
to teach kids
but you hope
they never have to use it
like I'd
you know
you never want to
I can't imagine
anything fucking scary
imagine you own a pool
right and for a minute you own a pool, right?
And for a minute, you turn your fucking back, right?
And the kid's gone, and you've run outside, right?
And you're relieved as fuck, right?
Because your kid's just sat on the end of the pool, dripping wet.
You're like, fucking thank God for those glasses.
Yeah, yeah.
And it's also really good that even though you're doing that shit
that you feel like doesn't connect with a kid,
you're like, oh, okay, now you're ready, and then dunking them under.
By the time he becomes sentient with it all, it's all going to be normalised.
And they're always, because I never, when I used to teach swimming,
I never done the baby classes and stuff, right?
I was like this woman, Val, who used to always do the baby class.
She was like the head of the teaching thing.
But we would do them as kids, and it was so much easier to teach the kids that had
been in the water as babies being water babies and one of me one-to-one lessons was a nine-year-old
who hadn't had his head under the water and it was like so hard to just because I would normally just
teach the technique of swimming yeah and all of a sudden, I've got someone who's quite grown,
and I'm teaching them to get water on your hands
and pretend you're washing your hair,
and now rinse the shampoo off your hair.
And you would normally do this for a three-year-old, right?
Because you're baby-voicing it.
And you're like, now blow bubbles in the water,
and you get these little egg-flip things.
And you blow bubbles in, and it'll flip it over.
So it gets them to put their chin in the water.
So you just do all these little techniques
with kids
to get them under
and then when you're
doing it with a nine year old
it feels dead patronising
and the kid's like
just as scared
as a three year old
that hasn't been a water baby
might be
but they're way more
self conscious about it
too
it's always
like the longer you leave it
the harder it is
I don't think I doubt
I think so early on
you've just got to
put your kids into positions where you go alright I don't want you doubt i think so early on you've just got to put your kids into
positions where you go all right i don't want you to be scared of any of these things it's like i
mean i've said it before kaylin's and cara's good at it she's not allowed to react to spiders in
front of them yeah right she's not allowed to at all what she has to do is like fucking put her
hand up in the air or remove herself from the room and text me and be like there's a fucking spider
she does not get to pass that on it's the same thing with don't want
to be scared of roller coasters don't want to be scared of water and don't want to be scared of
like vegetables i vegetables that's another one i and he will be because you're like um you're like
a cat with a cucumber aren't you if you see a cucumber i've seen their videos where they must
have some like inbuilt instinct that
it's a snake
yeah and they just
freak the fuck out
that's what you all like
with veg
well I mean
cucumbers are fucking
I don't know
cucumbers are just water
they just taste like water
so why am I eating it then
I'll have a cup of water
just do that then
fine
it's all present today
it's just
I do
well look I wish I liked salad I'll make sure that he likes all he could have had a horse Fine It's all present tonight It's just I Well look
I wish I liked salad
I'll make sure that he
Likes all
He could have had a horse
I don't want to show you
A dry bread this morning
Look at you sleeping in
I don't want him to be scared
Of cats or dogs
Because
And this is a
Horrible opinion to have
But
I can't
Fucking abide people
That are scared of dogs man
Aye
Like
That That I don't think I mentioned that are scared of dogs, man. Aye. Like...
That...
I don't think I mentioned it on here, did I?
I didn't mention about when Peggy ran into the kids' playground.
Like, not even playground, like AstroTurf football.
Right?
So I'm walking, doing...
Routing Glen Park.
And Peggy just fucking...
He has some kids and runs up the hill.
And she's not in the lead or anything, but I'm in the park, so it's grand. But she runs, like, he has some kids and runs up the hill and she's not in the lead
or anything
but I'm in the park
so it's grand
but she runs like
kind of through this fence
and up the hill
and normally
I would like
call her bluff
and keep walking
and she'll eventually
catch up with us
because I didn't know
what was up that hill
like it could be a road
or anything
I was like fuck
I can't just take a risk
when I go in here
and I walked up
to the top of the hill
to keep an eye on her
and call her
and I recall
it was inconsistence
but she knows
what I'm saying
so she looked at us
weighed it up
and went nah
and carried on
walking towards
where the kids
were making noise
and it was like
under six
football training
right
and just as they're
about to close the door
Peggy manages to get in
and thinks every kid
with a football
is playing with her
so she's kicking
the ball around
right
and I just go in
at first I say
oh could you grab her
the guy
goes just right by right by his feet oh could you grab her the guy goes just right by
right by his feet
oh could you grab her
she had a harness on
so you can just grab her
by the harness
and he just like
looked
like vacuous about it
and then I come in
to try and get her
and then the coaches
there's three coaches
just start attacking each other
as if I wasn't even there
so I couldn't even like
oh what am I like
oh my
like they just
were just totally fine
with me running running trying to
catch Peggy
in this astroturf
full of about
maybe 12 young'uns
trying to kick a
ball and she was
running up to them
because she thought
they wanted to play
and some of them
were terrified
like there was one
or two of them
that were like
ah ah ah
and I'm just saying
oh fucking grow up
grow up man
but saying that
they could have had
like a bad experience
with the dog
of course
there's very very
like fucking legit reasons
for the
for the
for trauma
or you don't have
a relationship with dogs
but just
you know
keep
introducing them
to them
keep
keep them around
and
and
keep them meeting dogs
I just
I was a bit of a
fanny with dogs
growing up
but only because
there was some
fucking killer dogs
on me council estate
yeah
those fucking like
Dobermans and
fucking Rottweilers
and big German
shephards
that fucking
just barked at
the fences
you walked by
and they did
look like if
they got out
they'd fuck you
so I always
had this like
healthy just
wariness with dogs.
I guess also the fears are fucking illogical half the time.
But I just have been scared of big-ass fucking dogs.
You don't know what they're going to do.
They've got big, sharp teeth.
But aye, if you're scared of Peggy, like...
Aye.
If you're scared of Peggy,
your parents haven't done a brilliant job, I think.
Nah, not at all. Something up there like there was you know it's there's there's been other forms of trauma in your life um so i anyway like peggy's run run to these kids and i've never been
more mortified in my life because i'm running around like a kid's play area essentially with a cute
puppy i just felt i felt like i looked like a nonce and you know what the coaches could not
give a fuck they're like oh it's just this fucking strange middle-aged man running around with a
fucking cavapoo with all these six-year-olds who are just gonna act like it's not happening
it took us fucking ages to get her now because she was so excited
by like those kids
to play away,
those fucking balls
kicking around
and she's pretty nimble.
I was like,
chicken chaser.
I'm trying to think
what other things
I wouldn't want
my son to be
afraid of,
scared of.
I don't want him
to get the heights thing
from me.
You know what, and I know you probably can't choose this,
but I'd love it if I had a kid that they didn't, like,
cry and try to cling to you if you passed them on to someone that you trust.
You know, if I'm just like, oh, here's your grandma,
or here's your Uncle Daniel,
and I don't want to have a kid
that'll be like
ah ah
and like I know
you probably
and your instinct will be
to get them back
yeah
because you're like
you don't want them
to be scared like that
yeah
but I don't know
I'm not a dad
I don't know what the
what the route is
to not have that
but I'd love to have a kid
that was like
sociable
here's my tip
fucking hold them
underwater for about
three to four seconds
and they'll not mind
when you pass them on to other people they'll to four seconds and they'll not mind when you
pass them on to
other people
they'll be like
this fucking
god
unbelievable
yeah I think
that's just
well I mean we
just you know
I think you just
got to leave them
on the floor
heaps and just
go because you
know you can't
be holding them
all the time
yeah
you've got shit
to do
they've got clothes you need to feed yourself you need to look after yourself you need to you know, you can't be holding them all the time. Yeah. You've got shit to do.
They've got clothes.
You need to feed yourself.
You need to look after yourself.
You need to,
you know,
get washed,
get changed yourself,
unpacked together.
And sometimes you just wash it.
You just leave Caleb on the floor and he'll occasionally go,
ah,
like,
buddy,
we're still in the room.
Over here,
but you're fine down there.
Just,
we love you,
but not
not holding you all the time
it's funny noticing
how much
Cara's won't let him cry
compared to you
oh yeah
so like her
her standards for baby safety
and my standards
for baby safety
are very different things
like I
I picked him up
by his ankles
the other day
just held him upside down
because I'm just like
man you're gonna
he's slowly like
being like chucked up in the air like he's getting used to I down right because I'm just like man you're gonna he's slowly like him being like chucked
up in the air like he's
getting used to I'll
make fucking airplane
noises just trying to
you know get him used
to fast movements and
stuff because he's
getting better control
yeah she got worried
when I give him a
belly bump he would
track a raid it was
like not even on the
farmer's field it was
on the dirt track yeah
so she which is man
it's I'm glad I think
that there always
should be one at either
side of
the fucking spectrum of it yeah on the opposite i cannot listen to that child cry for anything more
than four or five seconds like it just uh there's a problem i need to fix it yeah yeah like oh the
other i don't know why i don't know why the fuck she did this. But she was driving back from somewhere
and he was in the back of the car.
And man, he fucking hates the car when it's stationary.
This kind of hates traffic.
He fucking hates traffic.
Second the car stopped.
I feel him.
Yeah.
I don't know how he knows this early on.
Yeah.
But he'll just shriek and cry and cry
and then like wind himself up to the point
where like he's actually fucking crying.
Like to the point where if I'm ever in the car
with him
my seatbelt's off
and I'll throw myself
in the fucking back
and I'm there soothing him
different seatbelt on
calming him down
she's driving back
for fucking Sainsbury's
or whatever
he's well in the back
and she phones me
and goes
listen to how upset he is
I'm like
this is hell
like why
there's nothing
I can do here
like come back
and tell me this story
of how much you fucking cry.
As opposed to,
can you hear how sad he is?
Oh, yeah.
Real hard.
I'm like, pull over the car.
Pull over the car.
She's like, I'm not pulling over the car.
I'm two minutes away from home.
And I'm like,
pull over the fucking car
and soothe your son.
Nah, cry me a river.
Aye.
I mean, she is right.
She's like,
you know, you can't be scared of traffic.
Because like I said, there's certain things that they need, right?
They need fed, they need that.
That would change, it might be too hot or whatever.
But like if you're driving home in the car,
you've got other pressing issues.
And now you've got a complaint,
and we'll deal with that in a minute.
So you're like, you might have to cry for like 10, 15 minutes
until we get back.
I think I'm with her on that one.
I think she's right.
But then again, like I haven't heard my own child cry,
so I can't.
It's a real instinct. Well, I'm also on that one I think she's right but then again I haven't heard my own child cry so I can't it's a real well I'm also worried
about like
so you hear so much
about sleep training
and like
when they get to the
point of
you know
you just leave them upstairs
and there's all these
fucking debates
about whether
you just let your cry
sorry
your child cry
for 10 minutes
and then let them
get past that
and realise that crying
doesn't get you what you want. Also, this thing
isn't scary and you've just wound yourself up here.
Like, you've not been abandoned.
And you'll be fine.
And there's other people who'd be like,
that actually causes trauma in children
from a young age, but there's actually very little
evidence for it. But people have got
all their fucking opinions. And I'm very much
the one where I'm like, in my head, I'm like, just leave him and let him cry him out but don't put the baby monitor on
because if he's crying i'll cry and i'll go up and get like i'm just going to put him upstairs
and we'll let him cry but just don't let me hear it because i don't it was funny when you had the
baby monitor the other day and i could hear you both both crying. Man. Big shout out to
whoever came up with the song, Twinkle
Twinkle Little Star.
What a good bloke that Orchek that was.
That soothes like a motherfucker.
You have to
sing it over and over and over
and over and over again. You don't realise
man, nursery rhymes
are just four lines.
They're just four lines.
You have to just start singing slower otherwise you'll go fucking man nursery rhymes are just four lines they're just four lines and you like
you have to
just start singing slower
otherwise you'll
go fucking mental
is baby shark
the new modern day
nursery rhyme
yeah
because also
baby shark
you can just
you can change the words
to whatever it is
because I just sing
Caelan
Stoss
do do do do do
Caelan
Stoss
do do do do do
Caelan Stoss do doan's lost Caelan's lost
Shit his pants
He's a twat
That you just do
Mums are
Slut
Dwarf tear pants
You also got the Caelan's got his willy out song
Caelan's got his willy out
Scream and shout
Scream and shout Caelan's got his willy out song Caelan's got his willy out Caelan's got his willy out scream and shout scream and shout
Caelan's got his
willy out
it's because he
used to
when he
I mean I've told
this but when
he was born he
fucking hated
getting his
nappy changed
unless you gave
him like a foot
massage so I
was always just
being like a
French butler
of foot massage
while you shit
sir
and then he
would wail and
wail and that
was when he
would do the being murdered in my own sir and then he went wailing wailing that was when he was doing
the wailing killing
being murdered
in my own home
and being murdered
so that was a bit
for a while
and I just started singing
the Cairns God's Willow song
and I don't know
what it is
but like
he's got no
he loves when I change him
right
it's just
no problem
because he knows
the song's coming
right
and the second he starts
singing the song he gets fucking excited he's coming and the second he starts singing the song
he gets fucking excited
he's like
it's got his
Willie out song
and it distracts
from the act of murdering him
yeah
and then it gets him
into like a better head space
where he's like
oh every time I hear this song
it's fine
and I'm safe
and it's good
and sometimes
he doesn't like
when Canada changes him
sometimes he doesn't like
when his grandparents
change him sometimes
and still they
until they start
singing that song
and that's great
there will have to be an age until they start singing that song. And that's great.
There will have to be an age where we stop singing that song.
Oh, yeah.
There you go.
Otherwise he'll be singing it in nightclubs.
Gail has got his willy out.
Scream and shout, run!
I don't know
I want
more of my friends
to become parents
because
mine is just
becoming a parent
is just
I just sing songs
all the time
nonsense songs
about
and I want to know
if that's
a condition
that everyone gets
oh fuck aye
I date with Peggy
yeah
I date with my dog
Peggy's got her big cunt out Peggy's got her big cunt out
Peggy's got her big cunt out
screaming show
I feel like
it's stuff that
like
you do on your own
but you just don't
allow yourself to do it
yeah
like
well cause
I mean
you're never gonna be
embarrassed
in front of
your kid
like
you're just not going to you embarrassed in front of your kid. Like, you're just not going to.
Right.
You know, the idea of people, you know,
being embarrassed for doing something with you,
I don't think I'd ever be embarrassed
by doing something with my child.
So I'm like, are you singing in a really tone-deaf,
yet high-pitched voice,
weird songs that you made up about your little Willie?
And I'm like, obviously.
Did I say little?
You said little.
We think he's got quite a big baby cock
you think that
Cara said it
not me
I've not seen
heaps of baby cocks
I wish I didn't have to say this
but I've seen bigger
on babies though
no no
right
on my mates
I've seen bigger baby d right on my mates I've seen
bigger baby dicks
on my friends
right
that was so funny
when you just
randomly
you randomly
showed us
killing a dick
on a photo
I was just
sat with you
you know like that
and I just think
oh is that killing
as if it might be
as if it might be
anyone else
I think it's a fun thing
because they just
go around and just
make people
criminals
be like hey
have you ever
committed a crime
no me never
you fucking nonce
there you go
of that
does that make you feel
because I tell you what
that cheers me right up
reminds me of a song
I sing
oh it's been dead cute
I've been watching you
I've been watching you
over the course
of the last couple of days
watching a video
of Caelan laughing.
Just on a cycle.
You just think it's your go-to.
Let's say what I was talking about before.
I go to scroll Twitter, scroll Instagram, scroll back around.
You just got that video.
Oh, it's just...
Because he's finally...
So we got the first laugh.
And she's finally got it on video.
Because he definitely knows when cameras are on him
because he'll stop doing whatever he's doing
because obviously you're giving him a full attention
and then suddenly you've got something in your hand
and he's like, I like stuff in hands, what's that?
And you're like, oh, fuck.
That's actually a strange thing.
That must be a weird thing because, you know,
like what babies are taken in of the world,
they're always just taken in this like kind of glass.
Yeah.
Glass object is kind of
just like there and like they don't know people are holding it around it's just moving around
they don't know what that is they just know that is just a staple of life is that this camera's
just in your face and that's why i mean it's it's really hard to do but we do try to i'm like we
can't be like if you're on your phone in front of caitlin face him the other way and like do it down there i just make it so that there's this
like mysterious thing that adults play with it's not like the center of the universe i mean i mean
no doubt it will become the center of his universe because you know it's the center of most people's
universe i don't think we're gonna get fucking less addicted to our phones i think it's just like
you need to teach them control and and uh
not not to get not to mindlessly scroll when they're young i'll not hopefully i'll not give them any social media until you know you can set it up themselves well yeah until
he's old enough to be able to back himself up
in fights
I love that
if you want to get
like any photographs
of me from the age
of like
when I was born
you've got to go
to your creepy neighbour
you've got
Peter Terry
you've got to go
in a biscuit tin
under my ma's bed aye not the other biscuit tin oh yeah be careful which biscuit tin you might end guy in a biscuit tin under my ma's bed
aye
not the other biscuit tin
oh yeah
be careful which biscuit tin
you're going to be
you might end up with a biscuit
it's just when your dad's
doing a good job
a victory biscuit
she just leaves crumbs
to her pussy
like that's my crap
digestives i'w pwysau fel hyn.
Digestifau? Yn fawr, mae'r holl ffotograffau fy nghyd yn ysgrifennu ffotograffau. Felly, mae'n rhaid i mi ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen i ddweud, mae gen Facebook and just scroll back and they're just there for the world to see it's like every single photograph
of a kid's been published
I wouldn't have to
retrospective consent
tribunal in the future that stops you
being able to date where somebody's just
like I didn't want all of these photos
of me online, why have you shared
all of my fucking data with everybody
before I'm even fucking old enough to
click the box. But I think
the defense of every parent is, as
your parent, it's my fucking right to
embarrass you whenever I want until you're 18.
That's absolutely my right. Man, that's one
of the reasons why I had kids
because I loved
you know, when I was growing up
and I would find my parents embarrassing
and be like, you're not cool.
And my parents would be like, do do you think as a 13 year old
you're in charge of what's cool
you little fucking loser
do you think your opinion on cool
matters to anyone else in the fucking world
you 13 year old nobody
we made Sean's dad

Yeah, let's see.
He tried it out in Austria.
They thought it was very funny, but that might be a neighbour thing.
Yeah, well, as if the Austrians had a fuck all to do with the Nazis.
So what did you do for the Nazis?
Oh, you know, we flew over to Europe and sacrificed, you know, 300,000 men
to the beach of Normandy to kill the Nazis.
What about the UK? What did you do?
Well, you know, we joined in with America on that front.
We did our best to fight them, you know,
in the years before America even fucking joined in
killing the Nazis and going through
and ending the concentration camps.
Austria, what did...
What did you do
when you found out
that Hitler and the Nazis
were coming to Austria?
You bought adults back!
Yeah, we provided...
He's one of ours!
He provided you with a leader.
They celebrated
when the Nazis
rolled through fucking Austria.
Did they?
Yeah.
Threw flowers at them?
Aye, fucking... Rolled out the red carpet. Not all of them, but the ones that didn't celebrated when the Nazis rolled through fucking Austria did they yeah threw flowers at them I fucking
rolled out the red carpet

Your dad blows his nose straight
after wiping his bum
to get two uses out of the toilet roll.
Your dad has a string on his back
and if you pull it
he sings Sunderland chants.
I'm going to cut that thing straight off
when I get home.
Home, only for me dad.
Your dad flushes his teeth With his thong
Before he takes it off
It's part of his routine
At the strip club
All the coins fall out
Everyone thought that was his cock
Your dad uses chewing gum
As a bookmark
So silly.
He's got a Kindle.
Your dad sometimes holds his nose,
puffs his cheeks out and just floats off.
I'm in a huff.
He's jumped off out the window.
I come home.
Mum, have you and dad been fighting?
Look at the ceiling.
He's just up there he's body dangling

off a balloon
like fucking Veronica
wants her face from
Charlie and the Chocolate
Fun
Brooke Assault

your dad uses
your dad uses
his library card
to cut coke

Your dad bent down to tie his shoelaces and accidentally tied them to the toggle of his hoodie and he tried to stale it out by just walking like that.
Your dad sucks his thumb at the football.
Somebody's got to.
If he doesn't
Who will?
Fifth point
