Sloss and Humphreys on the road!
Muggins and cream, cream and muggins, straight thuggin', livin' the dream.
That's our intro.
Fuckin' muggles!
Ticklin' the clit inside your head that makes you laugh.
Woohoo!
They said it can't be done!
Are we in the same seats?
That's hack.
Aww, muggles.
Accidental red job in the park.
Kiss, kiss, kiss.
Or might just be cynical.
Just muggled it up on fuckin' Mugglepedia.
Where have you been since 9-11?
Does Marcellus Muggins look like a cream?
Say what again?
That wasn't the deal.
I said, does Marcellus Muggins look like a cream?
That wasn't the deal.
The deal was you would stop doing them
and then we'd see if there was any backlash
till you stopped doing them.
You said get me five.
We've got it on record. You said get me five. We've got it on record.
You said get me five tweets.
We didn't get five.
We've had more than five, mate.
You haven't shown me any of them.
I got one.
I can tack you through them.
I've got more than five.
I've got inboxes on Facebook.
I want to see them after the podcast.
I've got letters.
Because, look...
I've got coordinates, Wint,
and those are little notes.
This is why we don't get any new fucking listeners, right?
Because what happens is, right?
We get a lot of new listeners.
No, we don't, because they listen to the podcast and are like,
the fuck is this opening bit?
Right, I'm going to get my point across about eyebrows that I tried to make last time.
Right, because Milo got too caught up on his own eyebrows
because he manicures his and I don't have any.
Manicures?
Sure.
It doesn't need a new name.
It's the same fucking kettle of fish. Right, so he pedicures. Sure. It doesn't need a new name. It's the same fucking kettle of fish.
So he pedicures his eyebrows.
So he's like, I was trying to make a point about my eyebrows,
but Milo was like, I do my eyebrows and no one notices.
You don't have eyebrows.
You can't make a comment.
I'm like, yeah, I don't have eyebrows,
but I still know what the fucking are.
I can still comment on them.
So my comment about eyebrows is that eyebrows is something
that you only notice when they're terrible.
Like you don't notice that someone spent a lot of time on their eyebrows because they're spending time on them to like blend in, to look normal, right?
If someone doesn't touch their eyebrows, it looks shit, right?
So what I was saying is people will notice it if...
If it disappears.
Yeah.
People notice the start of the podcast because it's shit.
And what you're saying is they won't notice the start of the podcast
if you don't do that bit.
Because it'll be good.
That's literally the argument you just made.
You just turned my metaphor around.
No, I've literally used your argument.
No, I'm saying I spend a lot of time and attention
on my intros so that
no one notices.
Right.
We have a special guest
on a special in more ways than one
On the podcast today, we have our good friend Elliot Steele
Hello
Now Elliot, obviously the reason we have you on the podcast is because you're a good friend of ours
You're a very good
That's not the reason
No, maybe it's not your reason, but our reason for having you on the podcast is you're a very good friend of ours
One of our best friends
You make us laugh to no end
Yep, you're a very good young comedian, I'll change that You're a very good friend of ours, one of our best friends. You make us laugh to no end. Yep, you're a very good young comedian.
I'll change that.
You're a very good comedian who happens to be young, because I always hated that stipulation
when I was there.
Yeah, but you needed the stipulation for you.
Why do you feel you're on the podcast?
Oh, this is already like when I've been called into the head teacher's office.
No, you requested to be on the podcast for several months. I feel there has been a lot of slander, lies, propaganda from Goebbels over here.
Is that me or him?
Both of you.
A collective form one Goebbels.
No.
About my level of intelligence.
That's why he's trying.
I think he meant Goebbels.
Yeah, he could have said Hitler, but he wanted to show that he had knowledge.
Oh, yeah.
Didn't he?
He's like, he's like, he's like,
Year 10 GCSE in the Weimar Republic.
Coming through.
See ya.
Smartness.
Okay.
So we occasionally, and by occasionally I think at least once an episode,
reference the fact that you're thick.
Now.
That's because you're thick.
Okay, but my defense is, because you said in one of them right
I've made notes by the way about
all of the things that have been said about me in a podcast
that I'm about to bring up
because you can't remember them because you're thick
that's not how thickness works
I managed to write them down
because that's smart that's at the time
I'm going to bring this up and rebuttal them
that's smart
forward planning see the thing is thick people don't know they're thick Just to write them down because that's smart. That's at the time, I'm going to bring this up and rebuttal them. That's smart.
Forward planning.
See, the thing is, thick people don't know they're thick because smart people ask so many questions
that they don't know that many answers.
If you think you know all the answers, you're not asking enough questions.
I'm not saying, come on, let's not lie now,
I'm not going to be working for NASA anytime soon.
But this is my point.
You said the thing
about that
I'll drop some knowledge
about the USSR
and I will
but again the thing is
I probably will struggle
spelling USSR
that's my point
no you just did it
yeah
that's why I had to
write it down
that was a joke
alright well I feel like
it's
there's a bunch of reasons
we call you thick.
One, your accent does you no favours.
No, it doesn't.
I mean, I'm not really going to jump on that part.
I'm glad you said it.
Yeah, well, it's so everyone can understand it.
And second of all is...
I can't remember my second point.
My point is your accent is stupid.
Oh, no, I think it's fine.
Because in the group that we have,
the way bullying works amongst right, amongst friends,
is that you lump something to someone, no matter how true or not it is.
There'll be a shred of truth to it, but then that just becomes the ongoing joke.
Like, I'm the sexy one.
Yeah, I mean, that is literally the ongoing joke.
We all call Barry fat.
Barry's not fat.
One of us called him fat once.
Barry's fat
that's the joke
oh my god
I fully consider myself Scottish
it's border England
there's the whole debate
about whether I'm Scottish or English
so in the group the joke says
that you're English
there's six English people there
you're the English one
Tom lives in the Tower of London
I'm the English one
but I've got about
eight different things
that you know
I've got big nose
you've got
we've both got big noses
like if we was at Eskimo kisser
it would be like
the Hadronk
oh no
that would be a
man if we
if we ever 69
for whatever reason
lost a bet
or won a bet
like both of our noses
would be in each other's arseholes
as much as I'd love to say
it as an experiment
I'm not going to third wheel
while you two Eskimo kiss.
So I've
already got a big nose. I could fight. I could deal
with that. I could deal with stuff about my appearance. I've got
the thing about needing a haircut.
You do need... Probably.
That's a personal decision
to grow my hair. Being a lightweight.
No, this is where I'll stand.
I was antagonising him.
Elliot ain't lightweight.
He can bang with the best of them.
He's choosing not to right now, though.
You've made 50 days sober.
You've made the very adult decision to cut back on your drinking.
Hold on, the very alcoholic decision.
It's an alcoholic decision.
Yeah, but it's very hard to get an alcoholic teenager.
It's been 50 days now.
I'm going to go for 100,
then I'm going to have a drink.
Oh, wait, I might have a 50p on me to give you
for your 50 days sobriety thing. You also own 50p for the past you just bought it
you could just say i'm gonna pay for me dinner right here's here's 60 right
now the pressure's on for this next 10 days but you made the very adult slash alcoholic decision
to uh but but i'm not gonna i'm not gonna you know go on about that about how because you said
something to me early on about you know don't be the guy that bangs on about it and i think
that's fair point because when people when people make that decision i've not done any facebook or
twitter post or anything like that you're doing it for you i'm doing it it's like people waving
the veganism except i will come on to a podcast and talk about it and to the people i mean i
brought and he did antagonize you into it so you're fully able to defend yourself so that's three things I've got already
I've been called a lightweight, I've been called big nose, haircut
this is the first ten minutes
on the podcast
and now stupid
it's because you're the cunt of the litter
no, obviously
we'll continue with the podcast
but we thought we would
give you
we've written a little test for you I can see one of them's already We'll continue with the podcast, but we thought we would give you... What?
We've written a little test for you.
I can see one of them's already chemistry.
No, chemistry's not how smart you are, man.
No, no, we've got a bit of everything.
Can you swap here so I can... Chemistry's like...
But it's not just chemistry, it's all forms of knowledge.
But can I make my point?
Yeah.
I might not seem the smartest of people right and
this is this is sort of a long point yeah well there'll be people out there who listen to podcasts
who feel the same i'm oh no they're all idiots i don't reach out to them oh yeah that's a good
point but she's not listening to it because she's a scientist she's listening to it because it's Daniel and Kai as well
but I'm not like
I'm never, when I was at school
I never paid attention because I knew
I was never going to do anything academic
like I knew
like school to me was
like I just turned up, saw my mates and fucked about
that's what it was.
And I could coast my GCSEs.
Like, I was in bottom set for most things
until the last year
because I could do well on the test.
I was just like,
I'm not going to sit in class and do work.
So I just moved to bottom set.
To me, it just sounds like you went to a thick school.
Oh, it's proper thick.
Oh, it's proper,
like, don't get me wrong.
There's not much credit for being a smart kid in my school.
Right, okay.
So I just never paid attention there.
So that bit of life, I lost out on learning basic stuff.
Yeah.
General knowledge.
Throw-ins.
Short passes.
We were all right at football, actually.
Yeah, to be fair, we have rumbled here because I often think intelligence isn't necessarily,
or to me, intelligence is by like what information can you learn and can you apply that knowledge therefore.
Like academically I'll agree that I'm not that smart but the reason I would defend my intelligence because if you explain something to me I'll be able to understand it, explain it back and then use that whatever I've learned for future.
Which brings me to something that you said on the podcast about me.
You said Stills intelligence is that when Stills says something smart it's like seeing the rose in the arctic right
somebody's dropped it there's no what do you think intelligence is it's just people telling
me other things and then like i'm meant to go do all the studies myself and stuff yeah but that
means like any facts that you have you've just been told it doesn't mean like yeah yeah but you
could have just you could have surveyed you know you could just been told it doesn't mean like yeah but you could have
you could have
you know you could have
learned how to plant roses
in the Arctic
and if you did
you're a fucking idiot
you stand by it like
why would you read the book
when you can watch TV
but that's because
I am that level of thick
because you can't
you can't like
read a book
while texting
no no no
you can't have TV
in the background
while texting
the problem with me
with reading a book
is right
so the last book I read
was We Need To Talk About Kevin
and I didn't finish it.
Like, I've got 50 pages to go.
Oh, you did better than me.
I got two pages in.
I was like, it's too many words.
She got proper wordy.
I was like, all right, fuck it.
We've all got a thesaurus.
I was a little bit out.
Oh, I, no, no, no.
Shantaram was just unnecessarily descriptive.
I get what you mean.
It is a little bit like
someone's writing
writing like a GCSE
sort of thing
and they're like
oh I better show off
I know how to do descriptions
but
I
I got like 50 pages
from the end
and then something
happened in the book
and it made me a bit sad
so I was like
oh I don't want to finish it
and then my sister
just told me what happened
in the end
and I was like
oh well there's no point
continuing
and then I also saw the film was on Netflix,
and I'm like, it's like me with Harry Potter.
I always say this about Harry Potter.
The films caught up to me.
So I thought, I'll just save everyone a bit of time.
You can save all the time just by reading the synopsis on IMDb.
I still got to read it, though.
A story, like any story,
could be like a thousand pages or like three sentences.
But then I'll read something like I'm interested in.
Like I read a book called Inside Scientology where I read up all about Scientology.
I mean, yeah, but thick people are in Scientology.
Yeah, but it wasn't a pamphlet I got handed.
It was a book like debunking Scientology.
Oh, right, okay, right.
I've not found sobriety through Scientology.
Because I'm not thick.
I found religion
right Scientology
the smartest of all of them
you know what's brilliant
I think we first started
calling you thick
as your spelling errors
on the whatsapp
like exceptional
they're not even spelling
no no no
I'm going to get to it
they're exceptional
I wish I could remember
some of them
but it came to
die of beaties
instead of diabetes
like is that what
you think it is
is that what you think
that word is
so it's not spelling error it's like an actual misinterpretation of the word or words
i used to think something that's one word three words that ain't dyslexic and then i spoke your
dad he was like he's not dyslexic he's just six four you've defended your spelling but you've
been dyslexic i've asked your dad he's like he's not dyslexic but can i but you've been dyslexic. I've asked you that and you've said you're not dyslexic. But can I say the thing?
I got diagnosed dyslexic when I...
So I went to a decent sixth form.
I didn't last that long because I'm thick.
That's the admission we got you in for.
Right, that was Elliot Steele.
We've cancelled the guest now.
I mean, I was doing psychology, history and media studies, right?
And they let me finish media studies
and I still got an E.
And that's just not what films are.
Can you get an E?
I thought it was A, B, C, D and just F.
I don't think you can get an E.
Are you so dyslexic that you got an F
and you read it as an E?
You can get a G, can't you?
In Scotland you can only get A, B, C, D or F.
There's no E.
Then U is there.
Ungradable.
I got that in RE.
I did that.
Okay, that's a free GCSE.
I just wanted funny answers,
hoping it would end up in next year's newspaper.
That's one note you put in when you go for a job interview
and they're like, how many GCSEs you got?
You're like, RE got me into double digits.
I totally agree with you that this test probably isn't inaccurate. Look, the thing is, it's up to the audience to decide whether you're like oh he got me into double digits right so I totally agree
with you
that this test
probably isn't
an accurate
look the thing is
it's up to the audience
to decide whether
you're intelligent or not
I've kind of stumped you here
because we've got
chemistry, geography
general knowledge
math, history, spelling
oh no
and then a bonus round
of Elliot questions
okay
right
what is at the centre
of the nucleus?
right that's in...
I'm going to pass on this one, Chris.
The answer is protons and neutrons.
Which is more dangerous, carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide?
Carbon monoxide.
Correct.
You know, I've got questions about that one.
Because carbon dioxide would be very dangerous to you
if there's no oxygen in there
but carbon dioxide in general is just very dangerous
the question is
what's the most dangerous oxygen
or carbon monoxide
and if there was an open flame
oxygen is going to be
way more dangerous to you because you're going to sit on fire
because it needs the oxygen
it's not two points for showing you're working out
you know your chemistry I'll defend Kai as the oxygen it's not two points for showing you're working out oh yeah it's got a point i've got it right we all you know you know your chemistry i'll defend kai as well
kai's not fit i'll take kai's on the same level of intelligence as daniel which is fucking a shame
for you because i grew up in blythead i should know more all right my mom and dad are just
okay what should you never eat for breakfast? Shredded wheat. No, dinner. Oh.
There are some trick questions in here.
The main use of salt in the diet is to A, make food taste better,
B, produce small amounts of hydrochloric acid required for the digestion of food,
C, ease the process of cooking,
or D, increase the solubility of food particles in water.
Okay, so I actually know a little bit about this at the moment.
Okay, do you know the answer?
No. No.
Wow. But I can bore know the answer? No.
But I can bore you on knowledge with salt.
Right.
Because it's actually called sodium.
Yep.
Right, yeah, keep going.
When you laugh like that, it gets a little more confident's that was the most base level fact about salt other
than it's white like it was i'm gonna pour you with some
so it's the second key ingredient already salted crisps next to potato so so sodium when it's in
your body is what keeps uh it keeps a lot of water in your body. So when you have to, for fighters, when they have to cut weight and stuff,
they have to cut all salt out of their diet.
Yeah.
What were the choices again?
Make food taste better.
It definitely does that, but that's not the reason.
But there's another reason.
Produce small amounts of hydrochloric acid required for the digestion of food.
Ease the process of cooking or increase solubility of food particles in water. I'm going to go with increase solubility of food. Ease the process of cooking or increase solubility of food particles in water.
I'm going to go with increase solubility of food.
No, it's produce small amounts of hydrochloric acid.
No, you're wrong.
I'm absolutely not wrong.
Oh, okay.
Sorry.
Okay.
Final question in chemistry.
Right.
Coal is composed of which element?
Coal makes...
If you crush coal, it becomes a diamond.
Right.
That's also not an element
Right
It's made of charcoal
So
What was the question Nick?
Which element?
Coal is composed of which element?
What element makes coal?
Yeah
Fire
This is a fucking couple of questions.
Point me if I am.
Carbon.
Like the element.
Oh, I thought you meant the earth, water, air, fire.
That's the best.
I couldn't have expected a more earlier answer.
How are you expecting me to know the whole periodic table? Well, it should be. It would mark all the other ones.
Every time there's a periodic table.
It's not a league table.
Find me one thing on the periodic table
like you've got potassium which is K
then you've got that one that you drop
in the water and they act like
the one in science
that they make you drop in the water and they're like
this is really dangerous. There's seven of those, they're alkaline metals.
Right, yeah, and they're on
that far side which is the like
yo, don't go near the side.
No, he's's right I'm saying
find me one of them
one of them
that will win a fight with fire
fire's in it's own league
can I put
water's not in it
water would beat it
yeah
yeah but by your
by your argument of elements
water is on the table
and that does beat fire
no I'd say that's like a sort of, you know...
No, if fire's an element, water's an element.
Water and fire's like United City.
You're not going to be able to call who's going to win it,
but someone's going to get it that season.
Do you know what I mean?
Water's definitely a component,
and we're definitely coming across thick as well.
I'm not.
No, if he's saying fire's an element, water's an element.
Yeah.
Okay.
Geography. Oh, no, no, this isn? Elements of weather. Okay. Geography.
Oh, no, no.
This isn't going to be good.
No, one of them I reckon you'll do quite well on.
Boop day is the Spanish equivalent
of what day in Britain?
Steak and blowjob day.
Good answer, but no, it's April Fool's Day.
Okay.
Before Mount Everest was discovered,
what was the highest mountain in the world?
Mount Fiji. No, Mount Everest. Just because it wasn highest mountain in the world? Mount Fiji
No, Mount Everest
Just because it wasn't discovered
Doesn't make it any less tall
No, that's not
But like
But like that might not be true
Because what if there's a mountain
We haven't discovered
That's taller than Mount Everest
What do you mean if there's a mountain
We've not discovered
What if it's an underwater mountain?
That's actually a very valid point
That means it's below sea level
That means it's not very tall
Yeah, yeah But you get taller Mountains underwater means it's not very tall. Yeah, yeah.
But you get taller mountains underwater.
But it's not.
Yeah, but it is.
It's still way lower than Everest. But it's bigger than the big one.
But if we're talking on sea level,
he did make a good point.
There are bigger mountains technically.
But on sea level, Everest is taller.
Because it's out of the sea.
No, no, no.
But it's like if you...
Ridge is down to the base.
Because Daniel sat on the sofa
and I'm sat down, Daniel's taller than me. Is that's like if you ridges down to the base. Because Daniel sat on the sofa and I'm sat down,
Daniel's taller than me. Is that how it works?
Ridges down to the...
No, because Everest ain't going to
just stand up.
You're talking about the peak to the sky
but if you were to measure from the top to the
base... No, from the centre of the sun
to the centre of the earth
to the peak. It doesn't matter
if it's underwater or not
Everest is way taller
if Everest was shorter
it would be underwater
allow me to explain
what you're not getting
I'm not getting it
you're not
from peak to base
from base to peak
the base is the fucking
bottom of the sea
for Everest
no it's not
because it doesn't start
at the bottom of the sea
drain the earth
go as low as you can go
drain the earth
and I'm on trial here
for being
whoever drained right like it's hypothetical hypothetical you could go right Drain the earth. And I'm on trial here for being a drain the earth.
It's a hypothetical.
The fact that we're having to speak in hypotheticals
is like...
Oh my god, this is like when I'm filling the cup again for you.
When I fill the cup under the podcast.
Right, so just to clarify,
you think that if something's
underwater, it could be taller than Everest.
No, I'm saying... A whale bigger than a snail, because it's underwater, it could be taller than Everest. No, I'm saying... But a whale bigger than a snail...
Because it's underwater,
is it not as big as a snail?
That's the worst!
This is just wonderful.
This is just wonderful.
But that's your logic.
I mean, no, he's completely negated my logic.
Everyone is screaming at the peri right now.
Not me.
No, no, because if it's underwater,
get where you're coming from.
Like, because you are from the base,
but where is the base of Everest
really
the base
the base
eventually
you'll keep going lower and lower
yes of course
of course
then you can go under water
and under water
until you reach the depth of the
yeah but what I'm saying is
there will be
in like
whatever it is
geology or whatever
like what I'm saying is
that would just be a foothill
to the beach
oh yeah
some of them will be
fully fucking submerged
it's total bullshit
so the highest mountain
is that one
he's still got the
question wrong
next one
I'm still fake
but also
we are just all
coming across as
really retarded right now
I'm not
I'm bringing myself
down with Elliot
you definitely
failed on that one
didn't
Anzac trips come
from which two countries
what
Anzac trips come
from which two countries
Anzac
Anzac
clues in the name, kind of.
It sounds a little bit like South American.
No.
Oh, okay.
Then I'm going to go...
They have an Anzac Day,
the countries in question.
All right.
And they have Anzac cookies.
Oh, that man.
You might as well have asked me
where the Anzac cookies come from
and then been like,
oh, they have an Anzac colony.
And they'll be like, I don't know.
Yeah.
The answer is... Okay, wait, wait, they have an Anzac army. And they'll be like, I don't know. Yeah. And the answer is...
Okay, wait, wait, wait.
I'm just going to take a guess.
Yeah.
The Congo.
Expedient working.
Just, you know,
they've got an army
that I haven't really heard of.
New Zealand and Australia.
Oh, yeah.
What is the capital of Australia?
It's that place that no one really knows of.
It's that other one.
I don't know the name.
It's like Darwin.
Canberra.
Yeah.
Okay.
So if you get eight of these, I'll give you the point.
What 14 countries were in the Soviet Union?
This is your category, by the way.
Okay, 14 countries in the Soviet Union.
So you had Russia, Kazakhstan, Poland.
Nope.
Poland was invaded by the Soviet Union.
It was invaded by what was in the Soviet Union.
What was it?
Pardon?
Poland wasn't part of the Soviet Union
Lithuania?
yes
the thing is
I don't know many countries
this is the good thing about the Soviet Union
and why I liked it
it got rid of
it got rid of a lot of other countries
you just had to know one place instead of 14 others
so you liked the Soviet Union because it made geography easier fuck yeah It got rid of a lot of other countries. You just had to know one place instead of 14 others, didn't it?
So you liked the Soviet Union because it made geography easier?
Fuck yeah.
Oh, where are you going?
Soviet Union.
All right, which part?
You know, east.
The left.
Yeah, okay, so one second.
You've gone Russia, Lithuania.

We've worked that out
You should get 5
If I get 5 that would be good
5 more
Oh what
Yeah it was up to 8
Okay If you get five. If I get five, that'd be good. Five more. Oh, what? Yeah, it was up to eight.
Okay.
Lithuania is in the regional.
Yeah, I'm trying to think of all those other eastern countries.
I'm going to have to buzz you out.
What's it called?
That's the game. I want to hear what this is.
It begins with an M

Yeah, in Moldova.
Georgia.
Georgia, correct.
And these are the tough ones.
Before it gets hard, you've got Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Azerbaijan.
Okay, we're on to general knowledge, Elliot.
Because it's going so well.
A caravan is a group of which animals?
I can't say that.
A caravan?
Yeah.
I'm going to say cows.
Camel
It's a herd of cows
Alright
But
My logic there was
On Fallout 3
Brilliant start
They
When they have the two headed cow thing
Yeah
It's called the caravan
Okay
They call it caravan
No they don't pull a caravan
They are the caravan
I know
When I first did it
I thought you could get caravans in the game
But it turns out
It was just two headed cows
What two words, when
combined, hold the most letters?
Anti-distablishmentarianism.
Yeah. The answer is
actually post office.
What? Which two words,
when combined, hold the most letters? Post office.
I thought it was like, what has the most letters?
No, it was a trick question.
What holds the most letters?
An ampersand is the sign for which word?
Clues in the name.
A what?
The ampersand is a symbol.
So, no exclamation mark.
That's a symbol.
There's a symbol called an ampersand.
And so it's a symbol for...
I'm really going to have to dumb this down here.
Right, so an exclamation mark is the upside down I.
Question mark's the...
Yeah, question mark.
The hook with the Dutch sign.
Yeah.
So the name of this symbol is called the ampersand.
What is the symbol of?
Man, I've never heard of that.
It's the word and.
You know, the little...
Oh, that's what it's called.
Yeah, it's called an ampersand.
Interesting.
If we're not laughing, we're learning on this podcast, aren't we?
Oh, we're definitely laughing.
You'll get this one.
In rhyming slang, what are mince pies?
Right, again, I'm from South London,
so the Cockney thing doesn't work.
I don't know.
You are Cockney.
I'm not, I'm from South London.
It doesn't...
Potato, potato.
Natalie's more Cockney than me.
From Glasgow?
But she lives in East London.
The definition of a Cockney is you live within the Bow Bells,
the ring of the Bow Bells.
So, I don't know, is it Vince Fies?
No, eyes.
What the fuck are Vince Fies?
I don't know.
I don't know Cockney rhymes.
Why would Vince Fies be a Cockney?
Who's Vince Fies?
Because you might as well have asked me what it was in Japanese.
It's a different language
It's in
Lint spice
It's in English
Well you didn't know
Because you just need to
Rhyme something
You would go right
So probably eyes
No
What do you call a woman
Who knows where her husband
Is every night
Constantly checking her WhatsApp
No a widow
Oh that's brought the mood down
Come on.
These were meant to be light and jolly.
Okay, math.
Oh, fuck.
What is your topic?
As far as I was concerned, it was Soviet Union.
Yeah, but you didn't really ask me any questions about it.
Well, maybe they'll come and play it.
Okay, good.
Vietnam War I'm good on.
Okay.
Who won?
Everyone. No. play it okay good vietnam war i'm good on okay who won um everyone no um it depends like what you define by women hollywood hollywood yeah exactly
we got the good films and this and they got bombed so they got well yeah yeah so yeah
i think the north the north vietnamese one okay After seven Which is the next prime number?
I've never understood prime numbers
Right
I'll explain it
You can still get it
It's a number that can only be divided
By one and itself
So it can't be split into other things
I'll give you a clue
The next one isn't nine
Because you can divide that by three
I was going to be my guest
But you can divide that by three. I was going to be my guest.
Maybe you can divide that by three.
Right, okay.
Eleven.
Correct!
Thank you, 7-Eleven, for advertising on the VNC.
It's subliminally making me go for that.
How many colours are in the rainbow?
Richard of York.
Oh, what's the rhyme again? Richard of York oh what's the rhyme again Richard of York
oh I'm going to go
seven
correct
I've never
I've never heard that one
because here's how
I was hoping you did
the same stupid thing
I did once right
which is I got asked
alright so
the batteries ran out
on the podcast device
so it saved Elliot's blushes
a little bit actually
all the questions after
and then what happened right is I got so much right
and then you guys were like oh now we're going to have
like a little experimentation round you're allowed to do
something and I made like a
I drew on the wall
and proved why there isn't a god
goodwill hunting style with equations and shit.
And then a load of aliens came down and were like,
yo, bro, do you want to be, like, king of the universe?
But I was like, I've got to finish the podcast.
And then we were like, oh, our face is red now,
so actually pretending to run out of batteries.
Yeah.
So we did, there was two more rounds.
Fortunately, you know, I think you got some of them right.
No, I got none of them.
I'm just trying to save your blushes there
my favourite one was
your bit at the end there
you tried to
basically
be like
I'll ask you a bunch of questions
then we're like go ahead
what are the two main elements
in the sun
you couldn't think of any questions
and then you went
what are the two main elements
in the sun
and Kai guessed hydrogen and oxygen
and then you lost confidence
because Kai said
it was such confidence
but you were right
it was hydrogen and helium
what was your logic for why it was helium?
it's why the sun floats innit
it's got better helium
better helium?
no, it's not Luke
it's not my logic
but it's
if you said that to me in a pub
I'd believe it
but that's what knowledge is sometimes the road But if you said that to me in a pub, I'd believe it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But that's what knowledge is.
No, it's not.
But sometimes the rose dropped into the Arctic
is not meant to be the rose, is not the right rose.
Maybe it's not a rose.
Maybe it's a daffodil, but you think it's a rose
because you've never seen a rose before.
Just to cut your bullshit right there, I want to say...
We just want to apologise.
So you only missed about five minutes
of it
we'll definitely
have another quiz
this can easily
become a regular
game
because you can
go studying things
I'm not going to
do that
I didn't do that
for fucking A levels
and that would have
got me somewhere
if you did study
it wouldn't be as funny
when it cut off
we were like
oh shit we might
have lost loads
but we'd only lost
like five minutes
or so right
but the reason
we're back in the game even though the batteries ran out we we where did you
get the batteries from kai thanks natalie we're in natalie's house right now and um we're trying
to get the out the light box the little muggle light box so that's there those batteries ran
out because she's always using those. Yep, and then... Tried the remotes.
Found a dildo.
Found a vibrator, to be specific.
So we hooked it up to the car generator.
So today I have a podcast on Natalie's dildo's purple generator.
To be fair, when you were like, I'll get them out of Natalie's dildo, I'm like, those will be more dead can I just say for someone
who's on a podcast
being accused
of being thick
I'd have charged
the batteries
of the thingy
before
they were brand new batteries
oh really
oh but then I found out
in further development
you were so stupid
Kai said
maybe it's when
I dropped it
the other day
oh I fell out my bag
oh right
yeah
I want your bag
because I didn't
zip it like to put something in but I hadn't zipped it up fully so when I fell out my bag. Oh, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I fell out your bag? Because I didn't unzip it, like, to
put something in,
but I hadn't zipped
it up fully.
So when I was
dragging my suitcase
along, it popped
out.
It's a human
around me.
I didn't know who
the Amzeccas or
something were
called.
You were fucking
so stupid, you
drained all the
power from the
device.
You fucking
struggled to
really, anyway.
So Natalie's
dildo, come to
save the day,
genuinely.
She's not going
to thank me for
this, but but you know
I bought her
this as a gift
a while back
she asked us to
park a car
in a specific place
this is when she lived
in Glasgow
and I parked her car
and you said
go fuck yourself
I parked her car
in a place that I found
but not the specific place
she said
but the place
where I parked it
was this like
really fucking derelict bit of
wasteland right in the middle of Glasgow
like this old building site that they'd stopped building on
and when she went
to get it I told her where it was when she went to get it
the car window had been put in someone stole the stereo
who fucking steals stereos this day and age
let's get a fucking iPod
so someone's bricked the window and stole the stereo
and she phoned me up crying but I was asleep
because I'd been on a session the night before
so when she rang us I didn't wake up
and then when she finally got through to it
she calmed down a bit but she still totally blamed it on me
that I can't get broken into
so I tried to cheer her up by playing out a dildo
apparently an inappropriate gift
So if you're at home wondering
why is the lovely Natalie marrying Kyle Humphries
I have another story for you
that is going to turn this
why
why is she marrying
him
so I've been on this podcast
I've been accused
of
being stupid
and thick
and I've not done myself
any favours
and
I will
I will say
I'm not
I'm not the brightest
whatever one
in the thing
it's meant to be
but
another brace tool
in the shed
I'm not the brightest
star in the sky
because I haven't got
much helium in me
but
hi
what happened
the other day
I'm not very well
while you were having
a gentleman's play
look
I know where you're
going with this
I'm a step ahead of you
you're trying to throw me
under the bus
for being unwell
no
that's not why
I would never make fun of you for being sick.
I wouldn't make fun of you if you, let's say, shat yourself while wanking.
You had a shank?
You had a shank?
Because I'm not very well.
You had a shank?
Right.
You shat wank?
How does it, like, this is what I was saying in the group,
and then it got smudged over because I probably made a spelling mistake.
what i was saying in the group and then it got smudged over because i probably made a spelling mistake and you how do you like be mid-wang and then go oh how do you not realize you're about
to shit yourself there's two there's two like feelings your body gives that you know is happening
one's you're about calm the other one you're about to shit and you're not going to mix them two up
they come from two different places have you ever had diarrhea no but i've had a wank and not shat myself you're still young yet boy
12 years on you you can blame our diarrhea but the way you told me the story was you were having
i'll tell you the story right go on then right so this is the thing with diarrhea right yeah you
know that you can't trust a fart but the first, the first one you don't know you've got diarrhea, so you just fart willy-nilly.
No pun intended.
Sometimes I can creep up on the strangest tape.
So I didn't feel very well.
I woke up in the morning.
This is how I know I didn't feel very well.
I didn't go to breakfast,
and it was a free continental breakfast on the hotel.
So I knew I was sick, right?
And it's approaching 12 o'clock,
which is checkout time,
and we're in Wolverhampton,
and I feel like fucking death, but I've got to get showered. I've got to get out of there. And when I was getting changed right? And it's approaching 12 o'clock, which is checkout time, and we're in Wolverhampton, and I feel like fucking death,
but I've got to get showered.
I've got to get out of there.
And when I was getting changed for my shower,
I thought, you know what?
I'll give myself a little rub,
cheer myself up.
Right?
Because you know what?
Sometimes you can't be bothered with a wank,
but sometimes once you have one,
you're like,
oh, glad I did that.
But sometimes a wank can be bothered with you.
Treat myself.
Right.
So I was treating myself to a wristie,
and then,
you know
I wasn't just going to
let my fucking gas build up
like there's no one else
in the room
whom I try to
hide my shame from
I let out a little fart
and when I farted
mid wank
I was like
oh no
did you continue
with the wank
no no
I postponed it
oh
you can
as much as you can say
it got rained off
i rain checked and i was like i'll finish this once i've had this way put a pin in it or a cork
so i sat down to finish my poo which i'd started mid-wank oh my god this is horrible
oh man i mean with a boner this is the worst because like really that's the worst bit this is the worst bit
because like
I went to finish
like to have a poo
right
I didn't know I had the shits
until like I farted
I was like uh oh
and then you sit down
well you piss when you
when you poo
when you've got a bone
it's like hard to get it
like pointing at the porcelain
it's like pointing upwards
so here I am
trying to fucking manipulate
me pissed
and me
diarrhea
I'm sorry everyone
listening
I'm so sorry but uh when
i was trying to do that and i looked down on the floor and i saw a little brown little brown smudge
on the floor like a wet smudge wet wet patch of like wet fart the wet fart had landed on the floor
really sorry i brought this up and um i'm not because i've got someone else to bring up after
and um and i so I cancelled the wank.
It went from being postponed to cancelled.
I still haven't picked it up, actually.
Yeah.
Huh?
Much probably expired by now.
If you finish now, you'll get sick again.
Well, I'm still very sick, actually.
I think it's something very unsympathetic.
How was your fiancée, Samantha, when you shot the bed?
I mean, I don't think she knows.
Does she not know?
Well, because I didn't shoot the bed. What I heard is you shot the bed. I mean, I was in bed when I shot the bed? I mean, I don't think she knows. Does she not know? Well, because I didn't shoot the bed.
What I heard is you shot the bed.
I mean,
I was in bed
when I shot.
I mean,
I don't want to get down.
So,
what,
it landed in your boxers
or?
So,
I just like,
I walk up and like,
go to bed
with a smelly arse.
Wake up with wet fingersse wake up with wet fingers
wake up with wet fingers
so I woke up
and I clearly
like
I didn't
like I was at the point now
where I didn't trust a single fart
right
because to be fair
you should be like that all the time
like I don't know how
that's not
but sleeping Kai
didn't get the memo
sleeping Kai didn't get the memo
and sleeping Kai
clearly
just sort of
farting away in his
sleep and i woke up with a wet bum and a confused girlfriend and it's meant to be a confused
girlfriend a wet bum a wet girlfriend yeah a wet girlfriend a confused bum i'm recycling
i hadn't text getting it wrong so yeah i woke up to the wetness the dampness and I like John waned into the bathroom
and I threw my boxes away
and I had a wash
and a shower
and then
I discreetly checked the bedding
and saw that the bedding
was still pristine and clean
the way my fiance made it
for me getting home
nice and clean
all nice and clean
and I climbed back into bed
and then she found out
on the podcast
honestly she's also going to find out what's happened to her double-dose battery honestly
she's also going to find out
what's happened to her dildo
she's going to be sitting there
with the podcast in
lying around
she's going to get her dildo out
and be like
right old habits right
she always
listens to the podcast
and dads herself off
she's going to shove up there
and be like
why is this
aww you bastards
I reckon that's why
the batteries went dead
on the fucking podcast
because we're probably
just passing them back and forth.
We'll probably just keep
swapping batteries
until they're on
my podcast device.
Tickle in the clit
and save your head.
That makes you come.
That makes you laugh.
Do you feel better?
No, I feel like death.
But why do you still trust farts?
I trust farts
because 99.9999%
of them
have gone ahead
and just been shits
aye 99.9999%
of mine are
just normal farts
but I fart way more
nah yours is
like there's more farts
that are shits
but there's a higher percentage
I just don't understand
like okay
I was having this
conversation
this
when we found this
information out,
we had to leave a game of Call of Duty.
Oh, you're telling me dad.
No, your dad wasn't online.
He's also found out about the podcast.
He's just happy we didn't take the batteries out of his dildo.
I don't understand how as an adult male...
So I can count four stories of you shitting yourself and i know
there's more i know there's like oh from from the unless let's have this year no let's let's go from
the age of 80 from being a society deems you you're a grown man how do you like you're 34
that's i don't know how to live act your age not your puce eyes I don't understand
how people
you fucking lectured me
before I would shit myself
because
because I just got lectured
on the podcast
they didn't hear it
because I couldn't spell
Mississippi
M-I-S-S-I-S-M-P-P-I
I-P-P-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-M
but how can you do that
and then like
claim you're smarter than me
and then shit yourself
wait one
I didn't know I was going to
shit myself
I was just trying to have a wank but that's that's even worse you haven't even made the conscious and then shit yourself wait one I didn't know I was going to shit myself I was just trying to have a wank
but that's
that's even worse
you haven't even made
the conscious decision
to shit yourself
I'm very ill
if anyone wants to know
you hasn't shit themselves
you lie to yourselves
me for ages
you'll never be ill
I'm like a baby
no but when I'm ill
I just be like
oh I'm probably going to shit myself
I'll go to the toilet
I don't
I don't just decide
oh I might shit myself
what I'll do
is I'll crack open the laptop light a candle I don't think you understand I might shit myself what I'll do is I'll crack open the laptop
light a candle
I don't think you
understand the extent
of how I am
once the whole house
goes off
I'll spew it all over
as well won't I
I think I've been
very brave actually
I mean put up
with this nonsense
if anyone wants to know
why we don't do
merch for podcasts
most podcasts
what they do
is they get like a quote
there's all shirts
and they'll put the quotes
on the shirt and that's
what they sort of sell. I don't think we can sell
a shot of myself a wanking shirt.
A podcast powered by Natalie's dildo.
Yeah, speaking of her
sponsor.
Natalie's sexual ungratification.
Noise reducing
QC35 dildo.
What's noise reducing when you put it up there?
What I'm
like
I got a
the car got broken
in like 2013
maybe
still battery left
yeah she's obviously
changed them
I don't know
I found it in a dusty box
you can't
you can't call it
a dusty box
that's very racist at the moment You can't call a vagina a dusty box.
That's very racist, admittedly.
Oh, Natalie, still Marius, please.
Right, shall we get on to our muggle corners?
Yes.
I can tell your one's going to, as always,
everything you do leads to a debate.
Because I'm smart, I like to discuss things.
No, go on.
Alright.
It's just one muggle corner each.
One muggle corner each. Yeah, it's a straight one.
Okay, alright.
I had a couple here.
Muggles call other people's football team shit
when they are glory hunters.
I concur.
Now this is...
There's a lot to...
I'll let you explain.
This is shots fired.
Yeah.
No, no, no, but I think I'm technically almost in the clear,
but I'll allow you to make your argument.
Okay.
This all started on a sunny day
when I was on a train to Manchester.
I had to connect it to the Wi-Fi,
paid for the Wi-Fi,
I'm keeping up with the football score
because I support a team called Crystal Palace
and...
If you haven't heard them we know why
we're
we're not doing very well
in the league
like we're not doing very well
at all
and up until this point
we hadn't scored a goal
in like nine games
so
and we're playing Chelsea
last year's champions
so I'm like
and my team
and Daniel's team
so I'm like
I'll just check the score
every night
and I'm just on the train
and I look
and there's a text from my dad,
and it's just like,
we've scored.
And then Chelsea score,
and we score again.
So of course,
I'm in the WhatsApp group
chatting absolute shit,
because I should be able to.
Daniel kicked me from the WhatsApp group.
Power hungry.
I will admit here,
in hindsight,
now that I've had a lot of time to think,
I was absolutely in the wrong
in that situation.
I got very sensitive, right?
We were in Jersey, right? I think it was
an early start, it was really grumpy. Also,
you know how to wind me up more than anyone
else on this planet, and I absolutely
bit. I absolutely bit.
I hold my hands up, right, and admit
what I did was wrong. He totally got you back
as you slaughtered him for having a shit team.
And then
Scotland got put out.
So he started doing your exact shtick to him for having a shit team
and you spit your dummy out.
Forgetting Mark Nelson was in the...
Mark Nelson nearly killed himself.
I get it.
Though I will stand by.
I gave you shit about Palace
because of the shit you'd given rightfully
about Palace beating Chelsea.
So I gave you that shit in return.
And then you did transfer it to the international one where I understand why you did but I was like
could you be a bit more crucible?
In fact I'll admit this
the international thing happened before Palace and Chelsea
no it did it did because I was chatting shit
because you said to me Palace are playing
Chelsea this weekend watch how much
shit I chat when we beat you
that's what happened so then when I was
on the train I started I started chatting loads of shit you that's what happened so then when I was on the train the plot thickens
I started
I started chatting
loads of shit
that's what happened
anyway
so we're in a
WhatsApp group
with a handful of
comedians who have
been regular guests
on this podcast
who majority
are glory seekers
absolutely
you've got like
you've got Arsenal
and Chelsea fans
from Scotland
you've got Liverpool
fans from Ireland
he's from Ireland
and he's meant
to be like ooh
up the rah not ooh
up the rarsnal
right
and then he's like
to me oh yeah he was
like going to me oh
I support Arsenal more
than you support
Palace and he's like
oh Palace are shit
and I'm like well how
many times have you
won a Champions League
oh zero I'm like oh
well my team's won it
loads of times who do
you support Real Madrid
because I'm just going to choose a team from another country as well I it loads of times who do you support Real Madrid because I'm just
going to choose a
team from another
country as well
I will argue my
case here the
reason I support
Chelsea is because
I was brought in
kicks upon Thames
so when I was
it's funny how you
like you really
deny being English
when people are
saying you're English
right but the
minute your football
team comes in
which by the way
you started supporting
them on Roman
Ivanovic's takeover
which is so
convenient it's so
like you didn't even
know who Ranieri
was when he
fucking started
managing Leicester
and he actually
took Chelsea through
some fucking hard times
first of all
I absolutely knew
who Ranieri was
because I did my research
into it
the reason was
I supported East Fife
and Hibs
which are still my
two fucking main teams
so I do not
look
I've been to
several East Fife games
and it's the worst thing
in the world
it's just
love the team
love the fans
but we get gabbed
so fucking regularly
like we went up
one season
we go back down
right
and everyone in my team
supports Celtic and Rangers
and everyone starts supporting
an English football team
right
English Premier League
is the best league in the world
right
I'm not just going to sit
on the outside
right
and just go
I'll not support anyone
I'll just watch
you can't pick and choose
what you love about us
but no one
no one
my point is
no one started supporting
in Scotland
and went
oh I'm going to pick
Aston Villa
and then Aston Villa.
It's like you all happen to pick the top four teams.
That's why I love Nelson.
Nelson picked Everton.
You want it to struggle?
Yeah, yeah.
Closest to my fucking birthplace.
I went, what is the team?
No, that would be Wimbledon.
Kingston upon Thames would be Wimbledon, which is league three.
I'm going to check the postcard of that.
No, it is.
Kingston upon Thames, your closest team would be Wimbledon, not Chelsea. I'm definitely going to check the postcard of that no it is Kingston your closest
team would be
Wimbledon
not Chelsea
I'm definitely
going to check
the postcard
on that
it's absolutely
100%
so what happens
in this
whatsapp is
that Elliot
you get
totally swarmed
on by glory
seekers
but it's
like this
fucking
little
ring of
people who
think they're
right but
they're wrong
but they're
validating each
other because
there's so many
of them
and I have to
keep coming in
and rescue you
because I'm a
long suffering
Newcastle fan
I have to keep coming in and just going lads you a long-suffering Newcastle fan I have to keep coming in
and just going
lads you's are wrong here
you can't like
shit on Elliot
for supporting his local club
no we're not
shitting him for supporting
his local club
we're shitting him
because his team shit
yeah yeah
but that's my point
why it's Muggery
because it's like
fine if I'm
just going to flat out
say oh I'm just going to
pick the best team
well guess what
I'm just going to pick
Real Madrid
I'm going to pick Barcelona
right
but the point is I'm not I've gone and supported team. Well, guess what? I'm just going to pick Real Madrid. I'm going to pick Barcelona, right?
But the point is, I'm not.
I've gone and supported the team that's local to me because it's a community thing.
And then when, like, I had it all the time at school
when Palace were in a championship.
We were looking like we were going to get relegated.
Oh, your team's crap.
We're winning the Champions League.
And it's like, yeah, because you chose the best team.
It means nothing.
I've never, ever, ever in my life
shouted on Crystal Palace
until you shot on Chelsea
right
it was an utter
it's not my fault
we beat you every season
right
it was an utter utter rebuttal
but this is the thing
again
right
you sent a message
saying death to Palace
on one of them
oh at least seven
but like
I fully agree
look
you can argue
the place of fucking
glory hunt
whatever
right
I came in to support
Chelsea that time
I've supported Chelsea
All the way through that
I tried to find a fucking
Local team to mine
Like success
Breeds fans
If you're going to say
I can't support Chelsea
You've got to go to Africa
And take every Man United top
Off of every child over there
And be like
Nah nah nah
You've got to support
Your local fucking team
You've got to go fucking Brazil
Where all the leagues are shit
And you'd be like
None of you are allowed
To support
None of you are allowed
To support Barcelona
Even though you're Argentinian
And you love Messi You're not allowed To support Barcelona Because that though you're Argentinian and you love Messi,
you're not allowed to support Barcelona
because that's not your local team.
I think the leagues are pretty good over there.
Here's something that you keep throwing in as well,
where you and Ryan Cullen and everyone,
you've always put on him that it's fucking dumb
to be patriotic over a geographical location.
Oh, like, I support the team nearest my house.
That's like going out with a girl that lives in your street
instead of casting a net
and all that right
but as soon as the
fucking international stuff's on
you're singing Flower of Scotland
like nobody else
and you're like
how does patriotism
like only count
because patriotism's country not
no but it's like
patriotism's literally country
but there's no
if you
but that local pride
there's flags
there's people
people
I would argue
by the way
I don't shit on you
for support
I know why you support Palace I support. I know I support Palace.
I will constantly say my argument
is Palace are shit. You're back a wrong
argument because there's so many of you.
Because you're outnumbered, and that's why
it's nice to have you outnumbered now, in public.
Yeah. I still stand by
everything I've said.
And you can't change who you support.
I guarantee you would never
have supported Chelsea, even though you're from Kingston and you support. I guarantee you would never have supported Chelsea,
even though you're from Kingston and you were born in England and all that stuff.
You would never have supported Chelsea had they not had the meteoric rise
the minute you started waking up to football.
Probably.
It's like Gareth Ward started supporting Arsenal in 2006.
And then went to me, but it's not the glory years.
And that to me was the mentality of people who choose their football team.
It was, oh, we were only getting Champions League. me was the mentality of people who choose their football team was oh we were only getting champions league like that was that's the mentality yeah because i remember i
got a text from someone one day when arsenal got knocked out of champions league in fact i think
it was my dad got a text a friend and it said uh oh we've just been knocked out the group stage
of champions league this is what it feels like to support palace and you're like you have no idea
like if that's your level you don't know the struggle of the struggle your team goes through you
that's you've just
no idea and that
was quite a strange
one as well when
Gareth was getting
very passionate about
the football and
then he announced
that he'd only
started supporting
them like in 2006
and you're like what
you did what you
mean you've just
started watching
football because
2006 he was so
recent to me
the problem I think
the reason everyone
get defensive right
it's because like
even if you're
taking glory hunt
whatever we all
we all support your team with a lot of fucking passion right you can sit there being like you're glory hunt it's because even if you're taking Gloria Hunt whatever we all support
your team with
a lot of
fucking passion
right
you can sit there
being like
you're Gloria Hunt
it's like
I've supported
Chelsea for
14 years now
it's easy to
support a team
with passion
when they're winning
dude
I hope I never
have the chance
to prove to you
that when Chelsea
are shit
because I will
if they go down
not that they will
but if they ever do I hope I never get the opportunity to prove to you that I Chelsea are shit I hope, because I will, if they go down not that they will, but if they ever do, I hope I never
get the opportunity to prove to you that I'll still
support Chelsea then
Oh my god, but you'll watch
less matches, I tell you that, because fuck me
Newcastle bore me sometimes
I'll sit there being bored for an hour and a half
by my old team. I watched us lose 3-1 to Colchester
on my mate's birthday, we went
as a treat for it
It's not a treat.
It's a struggle.
The struggle is real.
So what's the mugglery?
Glory Seekers are...
No, no.
It's not just...
Okay, I can understand
your argument of supporting
the team and stuff,
but my point is
it's like when it's mugglery
to go,
ha-ha, your team's shit,
but I'm supporting
the local team.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
For big teams to shit on local teams.
And I noticed this as well in my area.
Everyone sort of suddenly started coming a Palace fan
when we got promoted
or when we got to the semi-final of the Carling Cup
and the final of the FA Cup.
Everyone suddenly became fans.
It's easier to be a fan when you're doing well though.
Like, fuck man,
when Newcastle have been like,
I can't watch them on Match of the Day
when they're in the
in the championship
you have to fucking
actually I had to
sign up to the
website to watch
the highlights on
the Newcastle
website and pay a
monthly subscription
and I'm not getting
it with decent
commentary or
anything it's
actually more
difficult when you're
not in the top
flight to support
your team
oh hugely and the
other argument that
was said which is
silly was about how
oh Elliot do you
like Conor McGregor
yeah you're glory hunting
and it's like
it's completely different
I was losing the argument
so I needed to make something
we should all be
Bisping fans
this is how I argue
the second
the second I start
the second I start
losing an argument
I stop using
my logic
and I start twisting yours
because it's the best
because it stops being about being right.
It's about proving other. But I will admit
and I'll stand in the corner for 30 seconds.
My one.
Muggles go to the opera.
You spend, God
knows, and it's very posh Muggles.
It's very rich Muggles. You spend your hard
earned cash to go watch a bunch
of pensioners play Nokia 3310
ringtones.
I would
I would
I think it's
such a horrible
I agree with you
but I saw
one of my favourite
shows I've ever seen
was a Mark Thomas show
about how his dad
went to see the opera
and his dad was like
this working class
but that was
you saw a comedy show
yeah but
it was like
it was like
oh
it made it sound good
it was like
oh right
so
I imagine like if I learned to understand that.
I just don't understand.
Well, I don't understand opera enough to make a comment on it,
but it was funny when Ricketts had suggested going to see Hans Zimmer,
who is obviously not an opera actor.
I guess he did a musical performance, but he does suspenseful music.
But what is brilliant, and I fucking love all of his work,
like I love Inception
but that other one
with Matthew McConaughey
where he goes into space
interstellar
fucking wonderful
Blue Planet
like half the shit
that you watch
that's got suspenseful music on
you don't even realise
Hans Zimmer makes the music
Hans Zimmer makes the music
right
but what is good about it
is like it'll build suspense
so you're watching
like a fucking
Conga Eel's about to make
it's like
attack on something
so it'll build a suspense
and then as it attacks
the music goes with it
so all the sound effects
are him reacting
to what he's saying
now if you take the imagery
away from it
you just get a suspense
for nothing
like oh here it comes
here what comes
oh nothing
just be careful
but
how do you sing
in an opera
you've got to sit down
right
and just sit down and listen you're not just singing along and if you're always singing along you can't like what do you sing in an opera you've got to sit down right and just sit down
and listen
you're not just singing along
and if you're always singing along
you can't
like
da da da da
da da da
I love the words
they're great
real deep
but isn't opera
all in Italian
or Latin
one of them
oh yeah
I think we're getting opera
and orchestra
confused a lot as well
orchestra and opera
like opera's
yeah
yeah I've never
I've never really understood why people
go to the pro do you know what i hate is when they do the proms or something and then they're
like and we're gonna get like a rapper to rap over someone and you're like don't try make this
like let it be either let it be cool to the people who like it and not cool to the people
who don't like it like a school teacher like a school teacher putting his hat on backwards.
Just let it die. I feel that exact way about jazz. I'm just like, the second jazz
dies, I'm going to be so thrilled.
It's slowly dying and it's so fun to watch
jazz die. Apparently there's a wicked jazz bar
in Soho. That one my mate wanted to go through.
Jazz is the improv of music.
It's the improv
of music. You learn bass.
I appreciate the talent that
goes into jazz you've got to be able to fucking play these this music and these instruments so
fucking well and you make up an improv but it's just not like do a song i know i don't want to
hear you go it's loud it's annoying it's elevator music and i'm not in an elevator why are you
reminding me of the worst time in my fucking life when i'm in an elevator with some kind of hate
have you gone and spoke to someone about any of these things no no yeah are you putting music
you don't like in muggle corner no no i'm gonna stick with opera uh or yeah opera and orchestra
i'll agree with you i think if somebody was going to the opera and didn't have any understanding but
kept going as like a just as a class or status.
I think you do have an understanding.
I do feel like the orchestra thing is an accompaniment to something else.
It's like you watch,
if you have a musical and there's an orchestra there,
that orchestra is amazing.
Yeah.
Like you say,
the movie that you're watching or the documentary that you're watching,
it's like an accompaniment.
Like it's so weird to go and listen to it on your own.
Like,
just listen to it on its own like just listen to it
on its own
sorry not on your own
but you agreed
I'll put it in
I'm inclined to
but I'm a little bit
uneducated
I'd like to go to an opera
just so I can look around
and go
yeah Muggle
yeah yeah
but I'm pretty convinced
that would be the case
I've not gone to an opera
so I haven't done the research
but I'm just basing it
on what I imagine
it's provisionally in the Muggle corner provisionally right to an opera, so I haven't done the research, but I'm just basing it on what I imagine there are. It's provisionally in Muggle Corner, provisionally.
Right, cool. What's your one?
I don't think anybody that goes to operas listens to this podcast.
Exactly.
Normally Muggle Corner.
It's genuinely higher arts against hedonism, isn't it?
Right, so I've got a Muggle Corner.
I just didn't have it open.
Sorry for the stalling.
Oh, yeah, this is just because my mate Ryan applied for Jodie's show.
Muggles applied to be on Jodie's show.
It's like you're buying your lottery ticket.
You think your number's going to come up and you're going to be famous for your 15 minutes?
Imagine having the idea that you think you're going to go on that show and you're going to look good.
Like they're going to make you look good.
People are laughing at you.
I think the thing where
Ryan probably would be good at Joe's show
is just this lovely, high energy...
Is there a big gay little Ryan?
Big gay little Ryan.
Did Flaring for you during the Fringe?
He was a great fighter.
He's charismatic as fuck.
But he'd be great on that show,
but he'd probably get rejected because he's
not some fucking
he's not an asshole
and he's not fucking
buff he's not he's
not eye candy for
the for bimbos
he's and he's not
he's not really
bitchy enough either
like every time i've
had a i think he
could be like oh
yeah yeah
he can crank that
up clearly he's
only bitch when i'm
not there
i about about it
um so yeah he's applying for that
because Ryan works with Punch Drunk a lot
and I was trying to get a fruit of him
dude you work with
so many people who are genuinely talented
why would you be drawn to something that
it promotes lack of talent
it promotes celebration
of ignorance
lack of substance is what it thrives on
yet you're working in this industry
that is like fucking talented people everywhere.
Yet there's this shortcut industry,
which is, I guess, car crash television.
It's what we made the show Muff about.
And I hate that people look at that
as a little out, like,
oh, I could maybe escape the grind
and be seen and have my moment in the sun.
I'm like, develop a talent, dude.
Like, he's a fucking
charismatic man
like take up acting
take up comedy
take up singing
or like learn an instrument
or just do something
of talent
but don't go into there
I don't
just don't like
look for the
because it is a fast pass
isn't it
a fame
remember
remember before TV right
people would be famous
for their accolades in war
or their
their like
like a bard would be famous for their accolades in war or their like a bard
would be famous
for doing a recount
of a story
in a song
people would become
famous because of
their accolades
now you don't even
need to have an accolade
you just need the
camera to be pointing
at you
do you know what
I was thinking
the new generation
come through
are going to do
those reality shows
that the old
generation never had
like if you had
2004 Big Brother
or whatever
they never had
Twitter or Facebook so they never would have gone on and said something risky and
then one day thinking like if you if you don't the thing is with our job is you always think like
maybe i shouldn't put this up because someone could get it bring it out of context i'll get
brought down yeah no chat should get banged yeah which one great philosopher once said and uh
but with the newer generation come through
like that guy just got evicted from i'm a celebrity because apparently i've not seen
tweets but apparently they're racist and homophobic or something and you're like you go on these shows
now and your whole like life yeah everything you've once all the mistakes you made all the
mistakes when you weren't in the limelight when you're figuring yourself out yeah exactly and
i just brought up and it's like nah get off the show
you don't get a chance
to apologise
or a redemption
you're just outcast
I think like
yeah
a lot of times
if you've said something
recently you should
be held accountable
something you said
10 years ago
of course
you should be able
you should be allowed
the opportunity
to be like
I was an absolute
fucking moron
I said some horrible
stupid things
we've mentioned this
in the podcast
several times
about Crystal Palace
nah I stand by those
Death to Palace
you say some stupid things
I didn't say this much shit when I was 16
17 years old but unfortunately I did have
a platform to say it
I've not gone through it
but I don't imagine I said anything to
but I'd hate for people to be like
but you said this, you're like, yes, I did.
I'm not like...
I've moved on from that, actually.
I can't say that I've grown since then.
Yeah, people's past can't catch up with them
as if it's their opinion now.
And for some people it is.
Like Donald Trump famously said,
I've not changed.
I'm the same person I was when I was five years old.
That's a direct Donald Trump.
Oh my God.
So yeah, applying to be in a... changed I'm the same person I was when I was five years old that's a direct oh my god uh so yeah
applying to be in a reality tv shows as your little fast pass over there go apply to be
muggle corner yeah just fucking do the grind learn some shit find a get a skill so in muggle corner
is uh glory hunters who shit on little teams yeah uh orchestra slash opera people who go to that
and people who apply to be on reality TV shows yeah
and before we go any further
