Sloss and Humphreys on the road!
Muggins and cream, cream and muggins, straight thuggin', livin' the dream

Fuckin' muggles!
Tickling the clit inside your head that makes you laugh
Woohoo!
Hahaha!
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 am I just being cynical?
Just muggled it up on fuckin' Mugglepedia!
Where have you been since 9-11?
Right.
To anybody that's watching the podcast,
listeners, we'll talk you through this.
We look like we're in a cult.
We do.
We do.
We look like we've took off our hoods.
Yeah.
We're just having a five-minute break
between chasing them lot out of town
yeah
because you
you would have to wear white
under a KKK hood
oh yeah
because you'd come out
kind of rude
oh yeah imagine you were wearing
get the navy off you
imagine you were wearing a red top
underneath your KKK
like it would come through
the white
exactly
wouldn't it
I never thought of it that way
which is the cleanest
oh yours is definitely
going to be the cleanest
well mine's fresh on
like I think
You've done
You've left the house
You travelled a little bit in it
So
I like
Yeah
Neither of us iron
Yeah no
No
Who does that
I think like
That is something
That I've
Resonated with
When I saw the meme
I was like
That's a bit of me
It's like
The thing I'm proud of
Proud of most
About our generation
Is we've just cut out ironing.
Yeah.
I know so many irons.
They're socks, like.
You know when the opportunity cost,
is that the right word for it?
The time you're putting in doesn't match the reward you're getting from it.
Like any meal with spring onions.
Okay, right.
And I do have meals with spring onions,
but every time I'm chopping them, I'm like, not worth it.
Yeah, you're not doing anything for me. It's not doing enough for us for the effort I do have meals with spring onions, but every time I'm chopping them, I'm like, not worth it. Yeah, you're not doing anything for me.
It's not doing enough for us for the effort I'm putting in for spring onions.
There's a couple like that.
Do you ever cut up ginger?
Yeah.
Fuck that.
I make ginger shots.
Don't worry.
What?
Do you want a ginger shot?
I'll have a ginger shot.
A little ginger shot.
It's fruit, what do you think?
Right, go for it.
What the fuck have I meant?
I can't believe I mentioned ginger and you've managed to
do this. By the way, we do dress
it looks religious because we're both
wearing white. And you know what?
Everything looks kind of...
I had to change the settings completely
on this camera
just so that you would be in focus.
You look like Mr Burns when he was like
uranium, Mr. Burns. I come in
peace, Mr. Burns.
Yeah, yeah.
Or, you know. A cocoon.
Yeah, or Danny DeVito
and it's always something when he loses two pounds of blood
and he just goes sheet white.
So you ever had a ginger shot?
They'll charge you like 3.50 for them in like M&S
or whatever, but you can just make them yourself.
I had one with Brett at Shindig Festival.
Get that doing you.
In one shot.
That's a double shot, actually, it's 60 mil that.
I'm not doing 60 mil of ginger.
You're not doing 60 mil of ginger?
Go on, you're like a donut, donut.
So there's just ginger, lemon juice, and apple juice.
That's really good.
Put in a blender. It's nice, isn't it? Good for your immune system. That's really good. Put in a blender.
It's nice, isn't it?
Good for your immune system.
That's why I brought you here.
I just want to put your immune system up.
This is like...
You're trying to get rid of your tumour.
My grandmother did that to me.
Tricked you into coming around so she could give you nutrients.
No, she tricked me to come around so she could bring me to the hospital while my mum wasn't there.
She was like, there's definitely something wrong.
And they were like, he's just really pale.
But they didn't want to say that in front of your mom yeah she just didn't want she
knew my mom would go mad my mom's like i've done this before i've done this dance i get randomly
bring brought to the hospitals i have a reason now but so you get you get a hospital because
she's like there's something really wrong here your mom will just play it down as oh you'll be
fine you'll be all right there's no the matter you're with your hypochondriac but he'll come in
and go oh yeah you're dying i think it's be all right. There's no matter, you're a witch and you're a hypochondriac. But he'll come in and go, oh, yeah, you're dying.
I think it's more, yeah, yeah.
She just wanted to hear the cold cutting truth of like,
that's not right, that.
There shouldn't be blood and skin in that.
Yeah.
It's like she's been treated kind of like
as if my mother's killing me.
You know, like one of those mad mothers
that's like, you know, sticking arsenic in the cupcakes.
That's what it is.
It's like you're something.
Munchausen mother.
Munchausen mother. It's Munchausen syndrome, isn't it? Munchausen syndrome. Everyone wraps up with that name. That's what it is. He's like, you're something. Munchausen mother. A Munchausen mother.
That's...
It's Munchausen syndrome, isn't it?
Munchausen syndrome.
Eminem raps about Eminem.
That's a great name for Eminem.
Fuck off.
I jumped over that.
He's got this song.
It's a clean up my closet.
He raves about Munchausen syndrome or something.
By the way, just while you're on that, Eminem,
because it's only a joke that we like,
but I found out that Royce the five foot nine is five foot eight he's actually catfishing with his name
he's catfishing with his rap name i'm fascinated with royce the five nine
and the thing that's like finding out bizarre is actually just pretty normal
um yeah i know you already changed that you go you tried to do it Without taking the piss out of me
Changing the sentence
To make me
You go
You've kind of got a tan now
Yeah
Basically
Whatever you see
I'm way whiter
And I am white
Well
I fly like a dragon
I roast a five nine
Like
He gave it a shot didn't he
Aye
Yeah he was
Yeah
I gave him a shot I like I he? Yeah. Yeah, he was, yeah. I give him a shot.
I listen to his stuff.
So when you say I give him a shot,
because you know he's always the featured guy.
He's always featuring Royce.
I wonder if that's how Daniel Sloss fans see me.
I wonder if when he's not here,
it's like they're listening to a Royce the Five Named album.
Featured, you're the pitbull.
Oh, fuck, I'm Royce.
The dawning of the realization that I'm Royce the Five Named.
Obi Trice.
All frills, all gimmicks.
He needed a pseudonym and a gimmick.
What?
Obi Trice.
If he had a pseudonym and a gimmick,
he would have done that, right? He would have been a fucking superstar.
Mind, he had one of the best albums in the fucking...
in the decade.
And I fucking skipped every verse he did.
It was our Nate Dogg.
Oh, right.
I'm an M50.
All the featured artists were incredible, like, spitting fire,
like, some absolute fucking bangers on there.
And then every time Moby Trey spoke, you're like, oh, come on.
Get to the chorus. This is terrible because I love him, but this is like Obi-Trei spoke you're like oh come on get to the chorus
this is terrible
because I love him
but this is like
Wu-Tang
for me
when old dirty bastard
used to come on
because they'd be all like
fucking
they'd be like
RZA, JZA
and all these people
are all fucking
flying out these verses
and then it comes out
old dirty bastard
and he'd be like
I'm feeling only
and they're like
come on
old dirty bastard
was never that old
he died fairly young he did he shot wasn't he I remember Come on. Old Dirty Bastard was never that old.
He died fairly young.
He shot, wasn't he?
I remember him.
I'm going to go on ahead and say I'm now older than Old Dirty Bastard.
I don't know the fact.
Okay.
I feel like I did look it up recently.
What age would you think Old Dirty Bastard, you were looking up Old Dirty Bastard?
In fairness, I can't argue that.
Did you get stuck on Wikipedia?
No, it was Natalie was driving, Old Dirty Bastard. In fairness, I can't argue with that. Did you get stuck on Wikipedia? No, it was, Natalie was
driving, Old Dirty Bastard was on,
and I fucking looked up how old Old Dirty
Bastard was, and I'm sure, so I'm saying
I've got a feeling. Okay.
It's based on knowledge. It was old.
Old. Well.
So it might have been short for something else.
It might have been an oligarch. It was deafy.
Oligarch Dirty Bastard.
That's so good
That's why he was shot
He was shot wasn't he in a nightclub
That's what happened to Proof
I don't even know Proof
I got one
I said that like it was me
Proof was the one who was good on day 12
Ah okay yeah
That makes a lot of sense
I want to roll away like a
rollerblade i tell my eyes roll back in my skull for days there you go said stuff like that okay
in such lanes as that okay is that robert frost that was from purple pills that was oligarch
dirty but i do like the start of i only know the very first the very start of purple pills
they called it purple hills and on the radio yeah It made no sense whatsoever. You know what? I feel like it made more sense
when it was Purple Hills because
it's about mushrooms. It's about
the outdoors. It's about fucking psychedelics.
That's what it feels like it's about. So the blue and
yellow purple hills. Yeah.
I felt like it's a bit more like mushroomy.
But then when it's pills,
what are they taking that's
making them hallucinate? That's true.
In pill form?
2C-B? Is 2C-inate that's true pill foam 2CB
that would be the only one
that would make sense
because that's like when you see people
like Elliot
not Elliot
I just did a thing
yesterday where I fucking was like
rinsing Elliot the whole podcast
oh right that happens a lot people that listen to both I just did a thing yesterday where I fucking was like rinsing Elliot the whole podcast.
Oh, right.
That happens a lot.
People that listen to both of our podcasts are just so familiar with Elliot.
That's okay.
Yeah, because that was basically a callback to another podcast.
I was like, oh, Elliot's always fucking.
But you know the type of person that would be like, God, I have the munchies now after a pill or something.
Oh, yeah.
You haven't taken it, have you? Food will turn to dust in youries now after a pill or something. Oh, yeah. You haven't taken it,
have you?
Food will turn to dust in your mouth
if you try and eat now.
Yeah,
yeah.
That's not going to work.
Yeah.
No,
I've got,
what the fuck
I was saying there?
So,
you've been,
Peggy,
she's been a little bit,
she chases flies
around the house,
which is,
we've got the door open
because it's actually
she's
she's scraping
I'm going to have to deal with this
this isn't good podcast content
so Matthew
can you just edit around this bit
you were about to tell me about
your cat but I hard cut you because
when you said hard cut I was like you do it
do you want me to shout something randomly as if just
no just no I look look
all I'm saying is fucking Peggy
there was going for trying to scrape the light
off the wall which is very funny just
you know stupid animals and all that
Mike there's a moth
that's like a tiny little moth
that's been around in my bedroom
that appears every three days
it came out your wallet
I don't know how you old fashioned laugh that's been around in my bedroom that appears every three days. It came out your wallet? Yeah.
I don't know how you old-fashioned laugh there.
She stands up in the top of the wardrobe,
and this moth will sit on the roof,
but only about two inches.
That puts her slightly off balance.
So the cat can't jump because she'll fall to her,
well, not death, but you know what I mean?
I'm glad you mentioned that it was a cat because people are listening on.
Who's this Molly?
Is it his cousin?
It's Mona.
Dead name of my cat.
Did I just dead name your cat?
I don't remember this.
You fucking changed the name of your cat.
Yeah, I changed the name of the cat.
What made you do that?
Because...
It doesn't matter with a cat, right?
Because it's not...
I wouldn't do it to a dog.
Yeah. It was still a kitten. Uh I wouldn't do it to a dog. Yeah.
It was still a kitten.
Uh-huh.
She was still a kitten.
So I was like, well, let's change it.
And it was pretty close.
It went from Molly to Mona.
We started with MO, kind of, right?
But like Molly, it's a black cat.
Mona the Vampire.
And it was right there.
Mona the Vampire?
I didn't know Mona the Vampire.
What's that of?
Do you know the cartoon, Mona the Vampire?
Mona the Vampire.
And she has a little black cat and wears bat wings.
Is this an Irish thing?
No.
This is like a cartoon network.
It just makes it show my age a little bit.
Well, I don't know.
I think we're on a different cartoon side.
But I also think, in fairness to you,
Mona the Vampire would still have been,
I would have been slightly too old.
I would have been just on the cusp of things.
Right.
So it would be even worse for you.
Okay, yeah.
I think I missed that
yeah it's not
I'm not doing a
you don't know
Johnny Bravo
yeah
I keenly count
Street Sharks
we could do that
but
no I
I changed the name
of the cat
alright
and what
were you just
not enjoying
seeing Molly
just didn't suit Molly
just like
you're total
Joneson for drugs
every time you
cat
yeah got any he got a changer 2cb so to call her now uh yeah she fucking
absolutely fine it took about a couple of days i was like what and then now it's like
there's a cat they're not the same no i wouldn't do it to a dog you don't have to walk you don't
have to like it's not a part of your day walking your cat.
No.
You don't have to walk your cat.
I've never seen anybody
walk a cat.
I have.
With a harness.
With a harness.
Yeah.
Or a lead.
It's a bit mad.
Because like,
I guess,
are they quite impulsive?
Like,
my dog's quite impulsive
as you've seen.
She's running around
trying to chase flies
if a leaf goes by.
Like,
man,
she goes mad
if she sees a squirrel.
That's the end.
That's why she doesn't
get off the lead much
because she does have good recall
when she's listening.
But if she sees a squirrel,
you have lost that for a bit.
That's why I was worried
about you coming in the day
because if she's like,
that was squirrels,
I don't know what's going to be
like for you.
You're all in the same bracket,
especially when you've got
your little lump in your neck
as if you're hoarding hazelnuts.
They're rodents.
What?
Aren't they?
They're rodents, aye.
They get away with fucking murder for having bushy tails as well.
Because that's just a rat.
Right, yeah.
Somebody's got to have made this observation before,
but if you just put like a worm tail on a squirrel,
they're not this fucking cute little woodland creature.
Yeah.
They're vermin.
It's actually fucking horrific then, thinking about it.
The tail's doing a lot of the heavy lifting.
Probably heavy lifting on a squirrel.
If you chuck a worm tail on a squirrel,
you're getting fucking people with their BB guns
taking them out of the trees.
And all the fucking rats are back,
just fucking pinging them away.
Newer, like, conservation, like, fucking save the squirrel.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just because they've got a bush tail on them.
Fucking fickle beast sauce.
That is fucking, but that is it. But do you not think, what happens if you had a big squirrel tail on them or fucking fickle beast sauce that is fucking but that is it
but do you not think
what happens if you had
a big squirrel tail
on a rat that would be
you wouldn't think
that was pretty would you
I don't know
prettier
prettier
prettier
what about that
fucking ones in Australia
possums
possums
I like them
they're a good laugh
I hang out with them
there
that guy missing
for a couple of days
he's just been on Mad One.
Mad One with a pod of possums?
Something like that.
Working pods.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
That makes sense.
A posse.
A posse.
A posse.
It has to be a posse of possums.
It better be a posse of possums.
It's going to be something stupid,
like a made-up word now.
A little dickle.
You get like Parliament.
Yeah.
What's Parliament?
Crows?
No.
Murder and crows. Murder and Crows.
Murder and Crows.
Murder's the top answer
if you're just,
if you're asking for like
a collective noun
on family fortunes,
murder is going to be
the top answer.
It's got to be.
Nice.
Parliament will be up there.
Murder.
Tempted murder.
Right.
Well, yeah.
I did get,
it did,
what's the second thing though?
I did have an mri yesterday
yes that was my first one yeah so you're not you're not holding hazelnuts in your cheek pouches
no they they really were just because i saw that black mirror episode where it pops out their head
that the little metal bee is inside her head and they go in the mri and it just
because it's magnetic it just rips through the skull yeah i was like they were like have you
done anything where have you welded and i was like, they were like, have you done anything where, have you welded?
And I was like, yeah, I've been welding.
I mean, you're Irish.
Yeah, that's right.
I mean, I've talked the lead off some roofs.
They're like, is there metal in tarmac
before we go through this?
What do you mean?
Why are you asking that?
No, basically they were like, in case someone rips out your eyes, You know, no, basically, they were like,
you know,
in case someone rips out your eyes,
he goes,
no,
welding particles can get stuck
in people's eyes for a long time.
Oh God,
that would be shite.
Because it would be like radiation,
wouldn't it?
Because radiation is just the fucking atom,
the protons or whatever,
just pinging around wild
without a nucleus.
Exactly.
Is that what it is?
Yeah.
You know,
you're from Chernobyl.
I don't think they're all scientists
just because
they've got
four
I suppose
they have
multiple brains
so stupid
so
so
you went in
for MRI
you made sure
you had no metal
in your body
yeah they were like
but they convinced you
they'd ask you so many times
you convinced yourself
I was like
do I have a Prince Albert the villains the villains fuck your show no i said that too
and they were like no and first anywhere else it's like well you don't have any metal phones
oh that's right but yes they they were just like uh and they convinced me basically like for the
first five minutes i was like it's going to rip out of me now. I'm going to be like, oh, that's right, I've got a pacemaker. Like an alien.
Pacemaker.
Stuck to the roof of the fucking sunbed.
Is it like a sunbed?
Yeah, I've never been in a sunbed.
Do you know?
I've never been in the sun.
No way.
Believe it or not, that was what I was going to do once for Halloween.
I used to go to the beds I don't know I feel like
everyone from Newcastle
has dabbled in it
it is quite a Geordie thing
I think that
I was going to do that for Halloween once
just go two runs and it goes a tanned
version of me
they were like that's not funny
I won't waste the money then
I was just going to go as myself, but tanned
For Halloween
I'll just start a sequence of sunbeds
Between now and
I'm tanned Ryan Cullen
Tanned Ryan Cullen, yeah
Black and tanned
Black and tanned
But you know
They play movies inside it
In the MRI?
It's fucking mind-blowing.
Is it HDMI?
So they go to me, right?
They were like, it's noisy.
Maybe they're just like, you're hallucinating.
There's something seriously wrong if you've watched a film in there.
They put earplugs in, first of all.
Let me just reboot they put it they put
ear plugs in first because they're like it's noisy in there and then they put earphones over the top
headphones sorry and i was like that this is very counterintuitive like
you're putting in earplugs and then they're going to talk to you through this one and then they put
another helmet on me as well because they were it's my head they're looking for they're looking
for my head and then they slide you in right and then it so there's times it's i thought it was
like a three minute job fucking thing took 45 minutes you're're in it. I didn't know that. They take loads of scans. How much is in your head?
Everyone else, it's five minutes.
But they're just untangling all your opinions about football.
All your wild fucking sport beliefs.
I can see it.
They're like dense parts of your brain just like cluttered.
Two or three lads in hazmats pulling out like massive fucking bin bags of shit
none of this is needed but back yeah they were like um so then they put me in the fucking thing
it's like loads of mini scans it talks to you it's like right this scan will take three minutes
and then it makes more noise for three minutes and then i'll be like this scan takes five minutes
and then it starts going like a lot of different type of noise and when you're looking up it's at different
frequencies it must be i don't know what the fuck it's of what what is it because it's not it's not
an ultrasound is it it's an action really what does mri stand for don't mass radiation injection
i don't know they didn't inject me did they so then they were like then they're in the middle
of it i didn't know this then they were like right so for the last two seven minutes so you know like half an hour i
thought it was near the end they're like we have to inject you with dye your blood and i was like
oh for fuck's sake so they're sticking like so i'm sitting in this fucking tube and they're hacking
and the arm and everything like that and i was like but i've been asking this as i fucking said
this is your blood different colour if you stabbed me
and I'd just start
bleeding blue
because it was blood
in my
oh well that's the
that's one of them
things I don't know
if it's a fact or not
but it looks like
it's a fact
because your veins
look blue
right but like
blood only turns red
when it's like
exposed to air
oxygen
but obviously
I've only ever seen
blood on the outside
it does look like
it's blue there
but that just might
be the colour of my veins
like I'm sure I'm sure most it is the answer to that oh god
i don't know it's like that football opinion when like someone like talks about how much of a die
hard liverpool fan not a manchester united fan they are if you're cutting me to bleed red
it just sounds macabre you're just hurting it yeah because it's like it's it's like they've
tried to do like oh if you're cutting me you'd bleed blue yeah if he's, because it's like they've tried to do, like, oh, if you cut him, he'd bleed blue,
if he's an Everton fan.
But they've tried to do it that way,
and it just doesn't work when it's the colour of blood.
You get it.
I'm over explaining.
There's an odd choice of film, by the way.
So there is a film up on the roof, basically.
No, that wasn't a bit.
You can barely hear it because of the thing,
but you can hear it a little bit.
And I think it was an odd film choice
no it wasn't a bit they showed him i was like what the fuck they were like they're putting me in the
god there's a movie on in there and i was like jesus christ i did not know this nobody's ever
said this necessary technology yeah you're just in a place where they're so worried about like
metal in your body to have like like the headphones talking to that and different frequencies yeah it just seems so like
45
you can't go on 45 minutes man
yeah
and our attention spans
are fucked
it must be
it must be something to do
with trying to keep
you calm people
because they get into
their own head
if they have claustrophobia
that's where
that must be it
because you have
an emergency button
if you're getting
anybody in there
with autism or something
like if you're getting
anybody
oh they'll cause a whole scene
if you're getting
somebody with claustrophobia
it might just be
something to focus
the mind
it's like
I'm saying like
oh you can last
45 minutes
but I'm speaking
for myself
not everybody
yeah yeah
by the way
the film was
Walk the Line
which is that one again
it's Johnny Cash's one
so it's just
it's like
just loads of
domestic abuse
and stuff
is it
well you know
Johnny Cash
that fucking Joaquin Phoenix Johnny Cash movie it's just him breaking up domestic abuse and stuff. Isn't it? Well, you know Johnny Cash, that fucking Joaquin Phoenix, Johnny Cash movie.
It's just him breaking up with people
and being a junkie and drinking.
I mean, there's like a little pocket of time
where you were like,
oh, you haven't seen that film
and I'll make you watch it.
And then there's just like a woman getting battered.
It was Taxi Driver.
We had, yeah.
No, it was Taxi Driver.
We watched it.
Rage and Bull.
No, I think we watched Taxi Driver.
No, we watched Taxi Driver.
Taxi Driver.
Does he beat a lass up with that?
Somebody.
Yeah, Jodie Foster gets kicked about, doesn't she?
And then we watched True Romance.
Yeah, definitely gets battered in this other one.
And then Tony Soprano beats up Uma Thurman.
Did we not watch...
Did we watch Imbruge?
Okay.
Did we not watch...
Yeah, it's Patricia.
And then we watched...
Did we not watch I Imbruge as well?
Yeah.
Because Colin Farrell decks that woman.
Yeah.
He's hit so many women in movies.
I'm keeping my track.
It's getting a little bit like when...
Yeah.
When Tarantino writes in the N-word.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Or writes in sucking feet or whatever.
You're like, ah, right, okay.
We'll get what you're into here.
That's so funny.
The N-word
and sucking feet
that's it
that's what he is
he's got two things
the n-word
and sucking feet
from leading ladies
fuck's sake
yeah
so I was watching
Walk the Line
or whatever
inside the
I was sitting there
doing the
worst
they were digging it
and they go
did you like the movie
and I was like
oh it's not finished
put me back in
and then we all did a fake laugh me and them none you like the movie and I was like oh it's not finished put me back in and then we all
did a fake laugh
me and them
none of us like
that
and I was like
anyway bye
yeah
how does it end
I'm gonna have
to get more
cancerous cells
in my body
so I can watch
that movie
for years to
watch this
IMDb
review so good
I give myself
cancer
so good I took off smoke
And so I can watch the end of it
So when do you find out the result
Is that one of them
Where you've just done something
Like put an age on
Oh my god
Here's the fucking
This is a horror show
So it was meant to be gone by now
It was meant to be
At the last day of the fringe
And then they went
Alright so they're just going to
Cut down
There's a little tumour here
If you don't know what I'm talking about
There's a little benign tumour
But they were going to Just cut around Say it's a little tumour here, if you don't know what I'm talking about, there's a little benign tumour.
But they were going to just cut around, say it's like a hook here.
Roasted benign.
Yeah, roasted benign.
So they're going to cut like a hook scar here, there would be,
and they'll take it out like bloop and snip the fucking thing out, right?
But it's apparently too close to my nerves in my jaw.
So if they went down and snipped it, I would have that, I'd probably end up having that fucking like, you know having that fucking like you know like bill's policy yeah yeah you'd have no feeling on that side of your
face you'd be a little bit strokey exactly yeah basically strokey and then so i have to make sure
about that they're like well we'll probably do the normal one we'll do is we're going to and this is
what he did to me he goes we're going to cut you here and we'll slice down here and here and then
there's another incision here and we'll peel your face entirely back
and get it that way.
And I was like, let's not.
I was like, let's not do that.
Like RoboCop.
Like fucking face off.
Like the actual, like really.
I was like, like RoboCop, yeah.
I was like, no, what's the other one?
They were like, well, I'll do the Bell's palsy one.
They'll be fucking scarred the whole way here
and around your thing
and they'd peel your face off.
Oh, that would look pretty cool though.
You'd look very, like with your look
and that scar,
you'd look like
something off Mad Max.
No way.
Not one of the goodies.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, thank you.
A war boy.
You'd look like
a prop man disposable buddy.
I told you about that.
No.
Somebody I dated,
I met them at the fringe
and they said
I look like a war boy these days.
Is that the,
from Mad Max
from Fury Road
yeah
the little dudes
like Nicholas Holt
spray the thing
in their mouth
before the gig
that's a pre-show ritual
just do that
fancy dress
just kind of
just like
pimp up your ass man
and be like
just pimp that up
and spray it in
from an inch away
instead of direct
you don't really do
anything else
war men war boys they you can't put boy in the end of anything ex-boys It's straight in from Ninja Wings. Did it direct. Didn't really do anything else. War men.
War boys.
You can't put boy in the end of anything.
Ex-boys, that would be way worse.
Cowboy.
Yeah.
Spider boy.
Cowboy.
I just called him the milkman.
Cow man.
Cow man.
Cow man and the milk boy.
Cow man and the milk boy.
So stupid.
Cowboy and milk man do sound like a fucking really good double act.
Cowboy and Milkman?
Cowboy and Milkman.
So I had a, I mean, my week's been less eventful,
but it has had an event.
So I've been watching, Natalie's like bang into the tennis, right?
And I've just by proxy been getting into the tennis.
Like the US Open's on at the minute.
And that's on like late on.
So we've been like staying up late and watching some tennis and all that.
That's not clay, is it?
No, it's like, what's the third one?
Where it's like just hard court.
Like blue?
Blue, blue hard stuff.
Blue hard stuff.
I don't know
what it's made of
actually
asbestos
I've got no idea
what they're made of
are they playing on rubber
yeah
some kind of
plastic sheen
what is it
like a laminate
yeah I feel like
it's the stuff
is it linoleum
I think they're playing
on linoleum
you trip on a little
part that's a fucking
you know like
a little slit
it slowly gets bigger
and bigger over time
tripping your toes
so I've always been
like vaguely aware
that Natalie's played
a bit of badminton
in her past right
and I've played
I've played some doubles
I've played some doubles
with her with like
a couple of
the people we used to live with
in London
Natalie's best friend
that she grew up with
and her fella right
we've played doubles
and I know that Natalie's
half decent at badminton
and we started
talking about
like should we
have a game
because we're
not going to
have a game
of tennis
we'd be shite
like it's
fucking harder
than it looks
we're playing
5v5 and we
couldn't get a
rally of more
than fucking
two miles
Gareth was
leaping into
this
it's just a lot
harder than it
looks tennis
they're making
it look easy
but it's
fucking
it's incredible what them athletes are doing.
How long them games got on for.
How hard they fight for every single point.
Yeah, they are fit.
The knees as well.
They're underrated for what they put themselves through as athletes.
Well, they do say that they're the fittest, aren't they?
They've got to be.
It is that they kind of say because of...
You can't hide on a tennis court.
You can't play a game like Pogba.
Yeah.
Just fucking be not available for a pass for five minutes
when you get your breath back.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So we're just saying, fucking, let's have a good...
When we've got the buzz for it,
let's go and have a game of badminton.
And Natalie Book's weird.
I was like, should we put a little wager on?
She's like,
what are you saying?
And I was like,
fucking just instant bloke.
Like,
blosk.
If I win,
I get a blosk.
It's like,
obviously,
if she returns that bet,
she can't be like,
all right,
if I win,
I get a licky
because that's just win-win for me.
Yeah,
yeah,
yeah.
It's not the same.
That doesn't have the same currency.
So, I was like, I'll mow the lawn.
That's so funny.
That's the payoff.
And this is just two jobs that we should each just be doing anyway, by the way.
But you know, we're monetizing it.
So Natalie just starts trying to put a few more weights on her scales.
This guy, well well the bamboo fences
fell down so you could put that back up
because like our fence is quite
short on that side and like I like my neighbours
I don't want to look at them so we've put this
kind of bamboo face out that guy and it's a bit higher
and then she lumped on
and the actual, we've got so much bamboo in our garden
by the way like I fucking honestly it's a panda's
wet dream out there
the bamboo's pretty fucking high it was like double the height of the fence
and she was like could you trim that down to the height so i've just getting like we sell a fucking
bunch of gardening jobs in the scales on one side for a nosh on the other right and we got in for
we got in for a best of three, first to 21.
Okay.
Three names.
We went to new rules.
Yes, if you get the point when it's not your serve,
you win the serve, but you also get the point.
Okay.
So we went new rules, right?
Okay.
And when I say I got fucking battered, I'm not exaggerating.
I got fucking annihilated.
It was ridiculous.
It was, I mean, to sound sexist, it was men versus boys
when Natalie beat me at badminton.
It turns out she'd played at a fucking high level her entire life.
And when we've played doubles with my mates,
she's just took it easy because none of us can play
and she's just fucking making it so it's fun
man
she played like
she fucking
meant it
right
like you know
it would be
the equivalent
of me going
to her
I'll race
you down
fucking red 37
me gonna snowboard
you on your skis
nah I'm fine
well I'm gonna
have me fucking
dinner finished
by the time
she gets to the
bottoms
but me it was unethical that she put bets on.
It was unethical that she put money on that.
That's hilarious.
She knew.
You hooked, line and sink her.
I was like, I used to work.
He'll do anything for a blowjob.
So let me second.
Mate, I'll fucking check the garden.
Check the garden.
It looks dead nice. It looks dead nice. Did you lock it? yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah phone disappeared picture of a blowjob just blowjob shoulder stock
across it
that fucking
Wolverine lying in bed
yeah
picture of a blowjob
just damage
not even a video
which I haven't
I haven't seen
the original
but knowing Hugh Jackman
that is what he was
actually looking at
yeah
yeah
knowing Hugh Jackman
like I'm
no
no
no
no
no
no
no
no
Hugh Jackman like I do no one knowing Hugh Jackman
like I do
yeah so I just feel like
I got absolutely
hoodwinked
that was good
and Aliass as well
she was like
do you feel emasculated
that I beat you that hard
at badminton
and I was like
no
not badminton
not
if it was combat sports
yeah
I would like
considering my like
size difference
I would just train a lot harder right yeah yeah I would like considering my like size difference I would just
fucking train a lot
harder right
yeah yeah
like I'm just like
I don't want to be
in a relationship
where I'm just
the best at everything
yeah
that's not like
that's
I don't think
that would be fun
it isn't
like my wife is better
than
I got me good that Cullen
I wanted to be
I wanted to be a trade of resources
yeah yeah
that's what I'm saying
I wanted to be the heavy lift on everything
oh that's so funny
God that's great
I wish I was
Good enough at a sport I could hoodwink people
I wonder how many things
She put in the scale of what I give her
When I won before I went wait a minute
You know something I don't
She should have raised you
Oh yeah she should have started
A week
I'll blow you every day for a month And you do She should have raised you. Oh, yeah, she should have started. A week?
I'll blow you every day for a month.
And you do.
Just give me a quick look at that.
I want a patio.
Oh, mate.
By tomorrow.
She could have had us.
There would have been a point where I'm like, oh, wait a minute.
I think she played it where she was like, I'd see what I can get out of it.
It would have been too obvious.
Spoovy, eh?
She was ridiculously good at badminton.
Putting fucking goose fat in all her dinners.
Mixing it in.
Lard.
Big lardy sandwich.
You know, if I was emasculated by it.
Yeah, it's such a funny sport to be.
Hang on. You feel like a man. There's just's such a funny, funny sport to be. Hang on.
I feel like a man who's just like Polly pockets on the table.
All right.
You've been as it pogs there,
but it's like not a technical way from it.
It's a fucking,
it's a good sport.
Like it's a, it's a,
like she's,
she's good at something that takes skill.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But like,
if I was emasculated,
I wonder how hard I'd have to train to be that.
And could I?
Could I be toxic masculine about it
and get good enough to be that?
Is the question.
I would say yes.
If I went and had lessons,
really put the graft in.
Yeah.
I wonder how long it would take.
At the end, after nine months in the montage
just going see
see men
are better
you're dickhead
who's emasculated now
are you emasculated are you effeminated
because I'm better already than Nitten
I've never heard of that effeminated
effeminated absolutely effeminated
Nitten
that's great yeah yeah okay i have there for some reason there's a load of badminton
people good at badminton where i'm from is that i don't know what the fuck that's about
badminton there was like one or two people that played like people where you're from love the cock
oh i've fucking set myself right after that
badminton if you know
what I mean
bit of the fucking
yeah
couple of tail feathers
on your cock
I remember
do I ever tell you
at the time
this is terrible
because I'm throwing
him right under the bus
here at the time
in the
in the whatsapp group
I made a joke
about badminton
and all I
I was like
I call it
Netflix
right
and nobody laughed
and then
Milo messaged me and goes,
any chance I could use that for my show?
I was like, be my guest, Milo.
100 quid.
Netflix.
100 quid so you can have it.
I'm just saying, but it's perfect.
I bet you tried it three times and went, actually,
you can have that back if you want it.
Yeah, come back with a receipt.
Yeah.
Because the thing with that is...
You delivered it wrong.
It's a good joke, but it just doesn't come across funny.
No, it's...
Yeah, it's...
It's dead in a horrible run.
It's got a certain clunkiness to it that I don't understand
because it scans perfectly as a joke.
You wouldn't be able to...
You can't say it without making it... You can't say it without making it...
You can't say it without it looking shite.
And also, I think there's just, like,
the fact that Netflix is a streaming service
and has nothing to do with badminton, right?
Yeah.
There's, like, there's just a lead attached to the joke
where you're like,
does this need to be plugged into something?
There's, like, There's just a little element
of streaming and viewing
and that just needs to be attached
to make the pun work.
It's not fully connected.
It's a joke.
Give me another two years.
I'll have it nailed.
If it doesn't care about such things,
we'll just tie this up.
Put a little bit of electric tape around this
and we'll just wheel it out anyway.
People will laugh.
Fuck's sake.
Ah,
God.
I don't have,
I don't know if there is,
there's no sport I can hoodwink anyone in.
You know,
if I could just,
you know,
if you were like,
secretly brilliant at fucking
tiddlywinks or something.
Go for it.
You know what?
I was like,
I was just innately going to chess
for a little while.
That's an odd one.
Because I played so much as a kid
that I could probably beat somebody
that doesn't play chess that often.
Sorry, I did laugh at you there.
You find out an autistic person is great at building.
I think it's...
I'm like, whoa!
I think it's like with martial arts, right?
I feel like I'm harder than most people in the world.
Yeah.
Unless they've got any ability at one of the martial arts.
And then I'm at the bottom of that group of people.
So I've closed the gap on 90% of humanity.
Exactly.
But that 10% is fucking rock hard, like solid cunts.
Yeah, yeah.
And claiming up that is the hardest thing in the world.
But I'm at the bottom of that bracket of people.
So I feel like I can beat up most people.
If I'm in a bit of road rage, I'm like,
there's a gamble that that person can also scrap.
Yeah.
But I'm willing to get out the vehicle on that chance.
Right?
That's where I'm at. I'm terrible for it. I feel like I'm... to get out the vehicle on that chance. That's where I'm at.
I'm terrible for it. I feel like
I have to get out the back of the taxi.
Oh man, I have that funny
thing when people have road rage with a taxi driver
where you're just like, I'll be a champion
like, I'm not a man in five minutes.
You're doing
this for money, not because you love us, but I will
fight for your honour. Have we talked about
the fact that Crad karate gave you a licence
to kill? Have I told you
about this? No. I have to fucking
tell. I have to and
people can message if you've done
karate right because I've asked three
people from one from
England and another person somewhere else in Ireland
right who did karate
I was like were you given a licence
it was a little blacklight.
Clearly, it's been 15 years I've went by,
and I went, what the fuck was that?
They were like, this is a license
in case someone starts you
and you get a little bit too far and kill them.
This is a license to kill.
You won't go to jail.
That was what we were told, right?
I've been told in the boxing gym
that if you get caught in a fight,
Oh, is this like your weapons?
You're going to get charged with having a weapon
in the fight thing
and I don't know how mythical that is either, but is it something like that?
Well, if it's karate, they'd be fucking killing
the person with boredom if they were watching you walk up
and down a community centre. Doing the K on
kata. Yeah, and shit like that.
East, knee, sand, you'll go.
What is that?
It's when you do the hearing cat.
You have your fists by your hips.
I remember that, yeah.
Because the perfect stance in a fight,
just guard your chin.
Guard your chin.
Or just the hardest part of your body.
Get that covered.
Don't touch my hips.
With the thing that's going to break
when it gets hit
that you need to fight
your hands
put them in the way
of your hips
so they get crushed
if they get hit
and then
twist
but don't put any
don't put any hard pivot
with your body weight
yeah it has to be like
it's
neat
it was that like
discipline
came out of it
I can't remember any of that
I got up to
7 years doing it
I remember
I didn't quite do it for 7 years but I did
do it for a small period of time
that I can't put my mind on it could have been 6 months
it could have been a couple of years I can't fucking
place that I was a kid
the instructor was fat as fuck
great that's the sumo man if you're gonna pick one
of the sports the only two things i remember about my ends was and this haunts me to this day because
it doesn't make sense one was a port veil he was a port veil fan i had stuck with me forever i was
like why what happened why so he's from he's a big fan of Robbie. I was like, eh. Robbie Williams, that's his team in that?
Is it?
Is that the one that's like alternative to Stoke, in Stoke?
Is that like the Stoke Everton?
I don't actually know.
The other one, by the way, was that,
the other thing about him was that we had to stop karate
because he got his head kicked in in a bar.
Oh, yeah.
Eight months out.
Those guys, those karate guys,
those Krav Maga guys,
those like,
fat,
like fad kind of
Steven Seagal motherfuckers
that think there's like
a quick like,
instant way
that you can...
Yeah,
Steven Seagal like...
Yeah,
you're gonna get battered.
I'm not coming up
with an original idea
to say this.
No,
you're gonna get kicked
the fuck if you try and bring karate to say this. No. You're going to get kicked the fuck
if you try and bring karate to a fight.
That said,
Lyoto Machida
had karate as one of his disciplines.
Okay.
Like a front kick?
Yeah, he was pretty high up in the middleweight division
in the UFC back in 10 years ago.
He did kick,
he did knock someone out with a front kick once.
That's the first time I've seen an Astrid of karate front kick
actually working in any way.
But I guess, would that be like putting these kind of tricks in football
that aren't really effective and Roy Keane would just take your fucking legs
if you tried it?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, just stay like, it's like a rainbow kick.
Like a kind of Lee Trundle to be niche
Lee Trundle
the king
flipping the ball
around his neck
fuck the bigger clubs
he was fat
I think he was fat
wasn't he
he was a wee bit fat
I reckon he couldn't run
that's why Lee Trundle
never actually got
up
higher
yeah
no athlete
who did he play for
like Swansea or something
yeah
that was the highest
I think he went
was like Swansea
he was around the Port Ville I try not to talk too much football No athlete? Who did he play for? Like Swansea or something? Yeah, that was the highest I think he went was like Swansea.
Yeah.
He was around the Port Ville's just... I try not to talk too much football on this podcast
because I know like Daniel's fans and football fans,
there's zero crossover.
Yeah, yeah.
So like we're alienating a lot of listeners.
But there is one or two that want to hear it.
But there's...
Remember there was a footballerer called freddie ado
he was american but i think that's why he got hyped so much it's because like america has got
that pelle or the maradona or that ronaldo or that messi but i'm saying ronaldo messi he was around
about that generation he was yeah coming through so freddie i do was looked at as the the this like
absolute wonder kid uh i just took a punt on what talking about
which comedians come from your year, your year group.
This is backstage at the Dan Nightingale and Fiends gig.
Okay.
I was chatting, I think it was Esha and Akbar and Dean Coughlin,
and I just took a punt.
I talked about one of the comedians.
I'm not going to name the name because it's cruel.
And I just took a punt and I went,
but he was like the Freddie A do with our generation of comics.
And I took a punt and it landed.
And he was like, you got the reference and you got it.
And I was like, you know, when you take a punt on a reference
and it might land, it might not.
It is one you'd think that you would know.
But if they didn't know, you'd be like, alright, that's fair enough.
It was a 15-year-old that never actually played. I've never
actually seen Freddie play football. He died
pretty quick. Not died, but... Not died.
Yeah, I've seen he's...
He's still only
my age now.
He's just retired now or something.
But he was in the fucking American Fourth
League or something. It was like child star
kind of fame. It killed him getting that much attention
and having that much expectation on his shoulders.
Yeah, yeah.
Too many people offering to buy him a kitchen.
That's what they always do.
So it's where they always swing some of the young people.
We'll buy you a kitchen.
Rather than I'll give you 20 grand, we'll do up your kitchen.
They didn't mess his kitchen.
Getting back to Geordie's loving sunbeds,
that was the weight and the skills when
Gazza went to Tottenham.
Because Harry read that rhyme and went,
what would you like? And he did put in a house for
my dad and all that. And he just went,
and a sunbed for my sister.
And he was like, I'll get your sister a sunbed,
hey mama.
That's fucking ridiculous.
He's on his way to Man United and he went to
Tottenham because they got
buy him a sunbed
for his sister
yeah
but that is what
you're saying
I'll get them a kitchen
there's always like
the fucking
remember like
the millionaire ones
like Flamini
he's a billionaire now
oh yeah
is that because
is that because
like of other
outside
yeah you started
when he was playing
he started some
fucking
biology type of
science thing
to make whatever blah blah blah
water clearer.
A lot of them get into horses as well, don't they?
Buy horses. There's money in horses.
Okay, right.
Properties.
Not like just horses you bring up
in the elevator to your house.
You know, like in Dublin.
We were watching The Commitments this week.
I don't know what you're talking about at all.
There's a scene in the commitments
where he brings his horse up, you know, the
high rise. He's like, you're not bringing that horse
in that elevator. He goes, well,
the fucking stairs will kill him.
They're going up the horse.
Bring a horse up to the apartment. So why did they
want a horse in their apartment? There's horses.
There was even when I was living in the
this is more 90s, but there was like even when was living in the this is more 90s but there was like
even when I lived in the
North Dublin
and things
people had horses
still around the street
a couple of times
what's the commitment
that's a movie
commitment
old one
recent
1991
so whatever you
consider that
pretty old
yeah
shit
god damn it
so there's still
like
there's still quite a lot of horse culture going on
In your neck of the woods isn't there
Horse culture
Well this is when Ireland are always like
They're good at dressage
I've seen cunts like cutting around on their horses
Around like Leafy Street and all that
Just like living their lives
Because it's so funny how like
Horses are for like
Super posh people
and super poor people and they were in the middle.
Was it not you with the joke?
I thought it was you.
I wasn't going to attribute it to you.
Basically, regardless, they're both in estates.
I'd had the estate.
Have I just added it now to horses?
My thing was in the routine about if you've got a...
I've always talked about my childhood as growing up in an estate,
but if you say estate to a posh person,
it's a completely different...
So I've just added the horses to it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's perfect.
It's a fairly fucking recent.
It's from my last show.
Not my recent show that I'm doing now,
but from Mischief.
So I should know it off that.
It should be on the tip of my tongue,
but yeah, brain works in a funny way
when you put a new hour of material in the head
and then the stuff that gets to the back,
it just starts like hanging and just blurring
and fading a little bit.
The muscle memory of it's a bit worn out.
Like your brain's just a fucking big computer
at the end of the day.
And like it would be easy to re-download
that back off the cloud
into my brain by watching it back once
we've all got, yeah, everybody's on
90% storage
you know what, I'm going to date the night
I'm going to date the night, because that leads into the
pedo-terry bit and that's always strong for the clubs
we're all over the place in this
I'm opening
is Alexander MC ever? I've never met Alexander, she's MC'ing we're all over the place in this I'm opening who else is
is Ali's under MC ever
I've never met Alexander
she's MCing
and then who else
is on Much
and then Gareth Much
and this is a Glasgow Glee
and I'm doing a gig
in Heathcote Bride tonight
okay
that the timings
don't work for
I'm doing one tomorrow
the timings
I'm worried
the timings just don't work
right
but I'm just getting
like
I've told you he asked us if I do it right and I said I'll check where I'm worried the timings just don't work but I'm just going to like I've told you
he asked us if I'd do it
right
and I said
I'll check where I am on the bill
to see if I'm available
and he went
well even I've had
I've had the people who comp air
come and close
so it'll work
I was like
in that case
let's just do it then
and sure enough
I'm closing
and then
I fucking
and then
I get the timings through
for the Glee
and I get the timings through from the East Kilbride gig
and there's 15 minutes between getting off stage
and getting on stage
and I'm about a 25 minute drive away.
So I let them know
and I'm just saying,
I'll turn up when I get there as fast as I can,
stretch your legs as an MC,
drag the intervals out.
I'm sure they'll figure it out.
If he's done it before.
It's not on me that
they've got all the data
yeah
how long
so 25 minute drive
that's the worst part
because mine's only
around like
blackfriars
it just doesn't give you
any magoo time
magoo time
yeah that's what
Jamie Hutchinson
introduced us to
called it magoo time
that's funny
it's like
you've got to be there
give yourself an hour
magoo time
for getting there
I heard that
I like it
I hadn't heard it
until he told us
and I use it all the time
now
I'm sure a lot of people do
I don't know if like
he coined it
or if it was one
he just took on board
and passed on
it was perfect
it's needed
it's needed in me
vernacular
they've made
by the way
without boring the shit
do you see
they've got a curtain
along the back
of the Glasgow Glee
the last time I was there?
Okay.
So now it's much more like a room.
Across the back?
Yeah, because you could see the right down,
you used to see right down the hallway.
Honest to God,
the fact that the fucking back of the room
just become the bar,
and the bar staff just think they're in a different room,
and they'll clatter on and all that.
Just chatting to each other at full volume.
But it actually,
the back of the room, I've watched gigs it actually the back of the I've watched gigs
sat at the back of the room
in there
and I'm just like
I feel like I'm in a different room
where there's other shit going on
yeah especially up in them little
yeah so
they had a
last time I did
they had a curtain
across the back of it
and I was like
big red one
and I was like
this is great
oh perfect
it's boxed in now
yeah it was
yeah yeah
what a difference that'll be
hopefully now
I'm not
you know I land'll end up going,
what are you talking about?
Well, you're going to be too late to see us at the Glasgow Glee
because this is going to be sending before we get on.
But where can people see you next?
Are you going anywhere soon?
I'm in Dublin next week, back in Ireland.
And then after that, I believe I'm in Birmingham Glee.
Is there any way where your gigs are listed?
Do you have a website?
I did, but the Chinese took it.
All right, okay.
It was years ago.
I don't know what it's like now.
Yeah, Brett bought the domain back.
We've got it back.
One day I'd logged in and everything was in Chinese.
Oh, wow.
And I was like, it's not good.
So you've got the domain, but you haven't done anything with it?
No, I have to redo it.
Okay.
Instagram.
Instagram's where I'll put all the stuff.
So he's been pretty enigmatic at the minute, Ryan.
If you want to see him, you're just going to have to guess when he's on it.
Go and check the listings of The Glee.
And where are you in Dublin?
Yeah, the Laughter Lounge in Crackdown.
In the Laughter Lounge in the Crackdown in Dublin.
It's a lot easier to find out where I'm going to be
because I'm on tour, so it's all on my website.
It's all on my social media.
I don't shut up about it.
Newcastle's just sold out for the second time,
which I'm chuffed with because I put the second one on sale
in January as well, so it's miles ahead.
And it's sold out in less than a week.
I'm just going to keep coming back to the small venues.
I say small.
I still consider the
newcastle stand as like a decent size venue because i think that's as big as it gets before
it starts getting a little bit disconnect that's it yes that's a big intimate venue yes it is yeah
and then it starts being a small non-intimate venue after that when you reach the 500 mark
um now i'm uh i'm just gonna keep coming back to the stand for the simple fact i want to
keep coming back to newcastle so if i keep adding dates yeah then i keep coming back and seeing my
family so like maybe it's in the future we'll put on a big show just to do that yeah but on this
particular tour we'll just keep adding them as quick as people are buying tickets hopefully so
uh by the time this is out it will be a new newcastle date on sale uh everywhere else has
still got tickets glasgow's getting pretty close to being full.
Oddly, Stirling has got limited tickets left
where I had my worst preview,
so I think I might just be a bunch of people
willing to give us a second chance.
Just kind of, I mean,
it's got to be good eventually, right?
We'll come back and see it properly.
That's so funny.
I fucking died on me hoop in Stirling, man.
And then me too,
I just saw that right there. There you go. Must be a different group of people.ing, man. And then me too. I should have just sold that right there.
There you go.
Must be a different group of people.
Yeah, yeah.
Word didn't spread.
Yeah.
Everywhere else is selling all right.
I'm happy with how London's selling, but it's a big venue,
so that needs a bit of a push just to, you know,
when you're happy with a number,
but you're just not happy with a percentage of the room.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So that's it.
Like, London needs a bit more.
If anybody wants to come to me London show,
that would be any of me shows coming.
Where's the worst sound so far?
Bath.
We need to talk about Bath.
I don't know what the, like, man, it's Saturday.
I'm not even shitting you.
It's Saturday on 14.
That's not even a gig.
It's a 100-seater.
And there's not enough people that did a gig there yet.
And it's like the only one that's that's not that's not currently a gig it's easy to sell a show when it's already
critical mass when i'm adding people to an actual audience yes i don't mind going to come to glasgow
because there's already an audience there and you're going to be adding to it and making it
close at a capacity right but when you're like please come to bath you're like i don't want to
say that until there's about 40 people in the room
but at the minute
it's not that
that's so funny
you don't want to
if you've got tickets
to the Bath gig
thank you
thanks for coming
I'm going to put on
the best show
that I possibly can
for this small audience
but I'm also going to
try and dig deep
I've already arranged
to go on Bath radio
yeah yeah yeah
it's quite a posh town
Bath isn't it
what do they think
when I'm on stage
and my mates are going
to be rummaging through the glove town bath isn't it what do they think when I'm on stage and fucking me mates are going to be rummaging
through the glove box
in a parked car like
do you think
yeah yeah
anything's going to be happening
fucking
I bet
I bet you
if it was a fucking musical
with a
posh guy
pretending to be working class
you'd go and watch that cunt
by the way
bath radio
sounds very funny
I know like
we're not talking
but bath radio
is great it does sound good I would have bath radio you're going to listen, bath radio sounds very funny. I know we're not talking, but bath radio is great.
It does sound good.
I would have bath radio.
You're going to listen to bath radio?
Yeah, it's one of those ones that floats around in the bath.
Ah, yeah, and it's always playing a bit of Celine Dion or something.
Shania Twain on.
Aqua.
So I'm like, I'm going on tour, but I couldn't even fill a bath.
For fuck's sake.
Fuck off. I'm going to buy a new one.'t even fill a bath. Fuck's sake. Fuck off.
And got my new one.
That's not selling jokes like that.
So I think I'm going to go on a full-on offensive.
I'm going to just go and write,
live goal, fucking find the other 86 people
that I need for me gig and bath
and just make them be fucking mission.
Make a joke about it.
Make a joke about how I need to fill this gig in Bath.
Yeah.
Right.
So that's the one that...
That's a good idea.
And I was talking to Nelson
about like plugging the gigs and stuff
and how like it's like counterintuitive
to fucking force yourself upon people online.
It comes across as desperate and all that.
And I mentioned about Chelmsford
being one of the gigs that isn't selling well.
I checked the numbers.
It's selling all right.
Chelmsford's fine.
You just chucked them under the...
I just chucked them under the bus. That seems like they ought to have a horse racing track. Chelmsford's fine you just chucked them under the I just chucked them
under the bus
that seems like they
ought to have a horse
racing track
Chelmsford
oh yeah
definitely
I'd put my money on it
fuck off
so yeah
come see me on tour
and let's
try and film
a couple more
of these venues
because it does feel
really good
seeing that a show
sold out
and adding extra ones
feels good
makes us feel happy.
Dynamic pricing.
I'm going to prop my rant over dynamic pricing, haven't I?
It's dynamic pricing when the demand of the tickets
dictates the price of the tickets.
Yeah, so they're just like, well...
So you're pricing out...
Yeah, you're just pricing out pretty much everyone.
Yeah.
It's actually 900 quid,
because a lot of people want this seat.
It makes for not a very good gig
though surely
if you've just got a
no
if you've just got an audience
full of Daniel Sloss
yeah that's what I'm saying
you'd be
you'd get an audience
full of posh cunts
like
yeah it's like
it's like
it's like Man City
it's like going to see Man City
or Arsenal
our fucking Arsenal's
getting like it too
you know like
where it's just like
they're like
oh we've only got
400 there
they're the season tickets
these are all corporate.
The hardcore Man City fans
that were there from the start
are so funny.
Because they're the away fans.
They travel.
They'll come to St. James' Park,
right?
Yeah.
There was this spell
where we're playing Man City
where we're winning
and we went on to win,
but there was about 15 minutes
where we were getting
batted by them
and it was about to go
and we just lost our voice a little bit
holding on to our seats
St James' Park was hushed
and the fucking Man City fans just started going
Is this the Etihad?
Is this the Etihad?
That's great
Because they are very self-aware
that they have a quiet stadium
That's so funny
It was a sort of slam
but they got got we were fucking
I love it
when the away
fans are
fucking
funny
they
were chanting
to the
Leeds fans
because we
were pretty
close to the
Leeds fans
when we
watched that
thrilling
nil nil
fucking
boxing day
gig
gig
yeah
kind of
everything
a gig
it was
the
we were
chanting
to the
Leeds fans
he's one of your own he's one of your at the Leeds fan he's one of your own
he's one of your own
and Jimmy Savile
he's one of your own
and then they waited
for a hush
and went
he fucked all your kids
he fucked all your kids
Jimmy Savile
and they went
fucks
and got one
got one
deal
got one
I love being toxic
with you guys
yeah
I saw when we went to Zurich
they were mad cunts not they went to Zurich
but they were at the Emirates
and played Zurich in the fucking Europa League
and they were, they had like a little
square in the corner and they really, they had
flyers and fucking drums
and half of them didn't watch the match
they were staring at basically
all the corporate boxes where people weren't even
Arsenal fans, they were just drums going
boom, boom, boom non-stop the European fans physically all the corporate boxes where people weren't even Arsenal fans were just drums going boom boom oh yeah
non-stop the
European fans
just keep it going
there's no lull
there's no synergy
with what's happening
on the pitch
they're like
we'd be reacting
like this regardless
of what was going on
man I went
you know how
Matty has got
Man United
connections
with his
he married into
an Indian family
he's always at the old track he can just get hold of tickets for Man United connections with his he married into an Indian family yeah he's always at
the Old Trafford
he can just get
hold of tickets
for Man United games
and we both love football
so we're like
let's go out
to a Champions League
game while we're here
and we went and
watched Man United
versus Atletico Madrid
and Atletico Madrid
put them out
which like
as Newcastle
and Arsenal fan
in the home end
we were like
howling at that
laughing
great went to see a good game and as well Atletico Madrid won with pure shithousery as well Newcastle and Arsenal fan and the whole men were like howling at that laughing great
went to see a good game
and as well
Atletico Madrid
won with pure
shithousery as well
so
slowly
slow death
Man United
was getting smothered
ground game
Mark Hunt
lying on top of somebody
that's now Mark Hunt
is the fight
I was thinking of
so
the Man United fans
cleared out and there was so many Atletico Madrid fans in the Man United fans Cleared out and there was so
Many Atletico Madrid fans in the
Man United end that just stayed for the ceremony
Yeah great
And it was like sleep by agents because we were just like there at the end
Watching everybody flood out but we were staying for the final
There was so many Atletico
Fans in the home end
You try to pretend to walk out
Just walk into another seat
That's great I love it You try to pretend to walk out. Just walk into another seat.
That's great.
I love it.
So, yeah, come see me on tour.
Come see Ryan as he's ambiently floating around doing gigs that he won't tell you exactly where or when.
I'm trying to get better with,
I've decided to try and get better with just Instagram at least.
Telling people where we are.
We've mentioned your podcast already kind of passively,
but like plug the podcast.
Absolutely.
Me and Mark Nelson,
we talk about films every week.
Most of the time it's nonsense.
Like, you know.
Do you hedge them up
on what film it's going to be?
Yeah, we'll present it
the week after.
Like, you know,
next week we're doing
Meet Joe Black.
Right.
So, you know,
some people sometimes
send us in the movies nowadays but uh
you'll know a week ahead and you also don't have to really have seen the film and we also don't do
new films you're not going to tune in one day and it's going to be fucking it's meet joe black
yeah if you if that upsets you you've ruined meet joe black for me you can just go and pick any of
the any of the um ones that they've done in that back catalogue
and you'll see what film it's going to be.
And if it's a film you've just watched or if you fancy watching that film
and then spending some time listening to them unpack it,
excellent podcast, absolute cuts, get on that.
And I'll see you on Thursday for the Patreon bonus.
If you're not already subscribed, get on that.
What's the Patreon bonus?
I think I'm going to have Daniel Petri over,
which interests me because he's an amazing comedian i've just started working with him like fairly recently
doing a few previews with him and um he's also a full-time doctor yeah he's good so i want to i
want to get into that i want to get into how that works being a full-time doctor and like having a
like a budding stand-up career yeah here's one you can tell him as well
because I was like
I was making a
roast battle video of him
because he's good
at roast battles now too
right
and I was like
put this on the mic
we'll keep this
in the episode
but
no
I can't
that's why
this is not supposed
to be
putting it out
because I was like
right okay
yeah
yeah
period special
I'll ask Daniel
if he can tell the story
that he's about to tell me now
and that's the hook
because you're going to
tell me the story
and I'm going to ask Daniel
if he can tell that story
on the episode
basically
basically
