Sloss and Humphreys on the road!
Muggins and cream, creaming muggins, straight thuggin', living the dream
That's our intro
Fucking 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!
Aww, muggles!
Accidental rent job in the park
Kiss kiss kiss
Or am I just being cynical?
Just muggled it up on fucking Mugglepedia!
Where have you been since 9-11?
Muggins, muggins everywhere and not a drop of cream.
It's Kai back with Elliot Steele instead of Daniel.
I really like those intros, Kai.
I think that should just become the whole podcast.
Thanks.
Yeah.
It should just be an hour of that.
I'd love Daniel to pull his weight with those one time.
Yeah, he doesn't have a creative mind so he's just um yeah so we've
got um this is the thing with this podcast right it's called sloss and humphries on the road
and the whole point in it was when we're on the road because we're two are from september to
december we'll do two uh two a day two a week two a day fucking just do nothing else one day you're
gonna need a lot of idioms to fill them up and um so was the whole point, is just do it while we're on tour.
It gives the people who have got tickets
to come see our shows a little bit of background
and a little bit of insight,
and it gives them a way they can enjoy the tour show
a little bit more.
And then when we go on stage at the end together,
it's a bit of an exclusive podcast type of thing.
So the whole point is to be on the road
while we're on tour,
and then it's done in December.
But as soon as we stopped doing the podcast, we started getting tweets of people going,
oh, where's the podcast at?
But we're not on the road together no more.
I don't know how I'm going to do it.
So the way we're going to do it is like we did last year and just alternate.
So I'm going to do this week with a guest, Elliot Steele.
Hello.
Hello.
Who you will remember from the Th cast and the thick cast part 2
I've got so many tweets
about that
you come across so stupid
it's not stupidity
it's a way of viewing the world
that is misunderstood
to be honest nobody's ever right about anything
there's just a difference in opinion
well it's actually an archaic view on the world
it's funny when I say archaic because I'm Jodie I'm saying arch well it's actually an archaic view on the world because it's funny when i say archaic because i'm jordy it sounds like i'm saying our cake
it's an archaic um it's an archaic view on the world because i'm reading sapiens at the minute
you know the book sapiens yeah yeah no i actually do do you know reading
oh no all right i thought you were asking a guy called i thought you were talking about the author
i know no reading yeah um oh what's his name again fucking yaul noah something I thought you were talking about the author. No, I'm not Noel reading.
Oh, what's his name again?
Fucking Yaoul Noah something.
Let's plug this book as well
because it's a good book and I'm looking for it.
I'm going to plug the headphones as a joke.
You know, every podcast I'm just like,
oh, I've got these Bose Q635s.
The noise is cancelled in the headphones
and they're actually like,
I do it as a joke.
I'm plugging them.
Tons of people have bought them like I've like tons of people
have bought them
I say tons
you and
you and Cody
but your group weight
is tons
mainly because of Cody
are you going to give out
like a discount code
on the podcast
if you go to
post and enter
Kai35
you get 10% off
and as well
we made Daya
text us
saying that he's got
a pair as well
oh they're so good
so that's three
confirmed sales
that I've got
it's interesting
that it's more
people that you
know and deal with
in life rather than
just listeners of
the podcast
they do listen to
the podcast though
we do yeah
but it was more
because when I
asked you
I have to give you
a little go at them
so yeah I'm always
on podcast listeners I am always trying Because you only have to give you a little go at them. Yeah. So yeah, I'm always on, podcast listeners.
I am always trying to sell these headphones to people.
The author is Yuval Noah Harari.
And the book Sapiens is the history of humankind.
And apparently we made huge developments
when we decided that we don't know everything.
Like when we thought we knew everything,
we weren't making so much progress.
But when we just admit ignorance and just go, oh, I don't know everything. Like when we fought, we knew everything. We weren't making so much progress.
But when we just like admit ignorance and just go, oh, I don't know the answer to that.
Then you have this strive for discovery.
And that's when we became a global species
is when we had a thirst for adventure and discovery
because we wanted knowledge.
Whereas you, you'll not admit you don't know the answer.
You will fervently give the answer, even if it's wrong.
Yeah, but... That's what makes you look stupid. admit you don't know the answer you will fervently give the answer even if it's wrong yeah but it's more that
I just have a different sort of view
on the world do you know what I mean
like what is the correct answer
you know what I mean you've also come through
a world I mean I got
like Daniel's going to be raging
that you're letting me get away with this level of stupidity
on the podcast by the way
I got the end of my teens before Google become the church of the people right because you used to
go to god for answers but now you go to the internet right so we're all prey to the church
of google now uh but i didn't have i didn't have a google childhood whereas you did so you always
had that knowledge at the tip of your finger so you outsourced your memory yeah that must be that
that's the way i've never thought of actually is that imagine me not thinking or something but then we've we've always just had this thing where you can go on like that that's
ended every sort of conversation that people used to have like people get into arguments about oh no
like you know if there's like a bit of an urban myth yeah now you can just look it up and be like
no you're wrong it's an urban myth and it just ends conversation however there is some things
you can't find on the internet like why do my boss headphones not work with my ps4 oh what the fuck i can't find the answer for that anywhere it's a
ps4 problem um they have a thing about uh they they kind of want you to buy their product to
plug in to connect to the bluetooth for it and they never had it with ps3 it's a thing that they
brought in with the ps4 so they did it to cock block both yeah uh well because the headphones the headphones work
with your playstation but the mic doesn't it doesn't connect the mic so like you can have a
great time playing solo player games as soon as you play online you can't talk to your pals and
you have to like you have to take it if i wanted to play online and play against you i have to put
in the fucking ps4 one earpiece one that comes with it i'm like why have i just downgraded like
fucking like what feels like 50 years of technology to oh it's so stupid'm like why have i just downgraded like fucking like what feels like
50 years of technology to oh it's so stupid it's one of the things you think like there was a board
meeting where someone came out with that idea and everyone there went yeah the customers will love
that yeah do you know i mean now yeah they're all gonna really want to buy our product after they do
like you're still gonna buy the product but you just go because the headphones how did this get
through several layers of like
where everyone
will be looking
at every minute
detail and no
one went
hey Dave
this is a really
dumb fucking
idea
let's not do
this
just let people
connect their
headphones and
play with it
and not even
mention it
we'll let them
discover it
yeah
because we've
spent more on
my headphones
than we have
on the
playstation
yeah around
that
and you get
fucked over
like that
like oh come
on guys
I tweeted them
asking them to
get along
for the kids sake
big reply
nah
I was like
I love you both equally
fucking get along
for the kids sake
can you please pay
at devices
you pack of cunts
so yes
we have
back to
we'll unravel
back to where we started
we've got you on
people might remember you
from the thick cast
we haven't got you on to ask you questions.
You don't know the answer to just so we can laugh at you getting the answers wrong.
But we will do that in the future.
We've got you on to be Daniel.
So how was your Christmas, Daniel?
Tell us all about it.
Oh, it was so great.
Did you, you're, tell me your age again, 21?
21, yeah.
You're at the transition age where presents aren't as good?
It's horrible.
You're going to get...
Like, it's actually horrible.
Luckily, I come from a small family,
so that...
They're small in numbers,
they're all small people,
so the clothes are, like, really small
and I don't have to spend much on them.
You can throw a family in midgets.
Just buy them kids' shoes
and save a fortune.
No, it's okay,
but it is at that point now especially when you earn money you're like
i can't make anyone something homemade unless i'm gonna put like three weeks worth of effort
and it's gonna be a great yeah like i you know when people do amazing homemade gifts it's like
oh i've got all the videos of the family from over the years and it's like yeah i'm not gonna
do that either i'll just i'll just allocate like 100 quid per person and then just lose out money on it because it's that point when you realize that
you've spent more than you've earned yeah and then what happens what happens next right is you get to
that point right so now you're you're spending more than you're receiving if you just about if
you if you're wearing the gift you received and if you're wearing the gift that you bought right
you're probably you're probably about even now would you say about even or would you say you spent yeah i
did this the first year where you spent more i did a really smart thing i got sent by my agency
a nice box of harrod's wine right and then what i did is because my family always preached communism
i don't drink so i gave that gift to my grandma because I knew she'd really like it
and was just like
oh there we go
I've just essentially
been given a gift
and then get to give it
to someone else
and just swapped it
without having to do anything
but like that
she will really appreciate
that gift
but then I'll be like
yeah yeah
I went to Harrods
and picked it out for you
I think you end up
what's good is
people buy your booze
as well when you're an adult
and they don't know
what to get you
when you're at the point as well where you're an adult and they don't know what to get you.
When you're at the point as well where you're just buying stuff you need
and you become,
oh, what do you get that person?
They get your booze.
But then that's your buy-in to parties.
You go to a lot of parties,
you bring a bottle of booze
and you may not drink the bottle of booze
you took as a gift,
but you're using that as a,
it's saving you going to the shop.
Yeah, you're just trading something out.
You go in, you go out,
you've got a box of Maltesers
and a bottle of Baileys there,
they buy it,
I'm going to steal your PS with the fridge.
I'm going to ask for a half gram of MDMA next year to help me out with that.
So what happens is, right, is you have to have that mental thing of going,
oh, this is how it is now.
I spend more than I've received, right?
So I spent 16 years receiving more than I spent
and then I start working at the age of 17
and then I start spending more than I get.
And then you think to yourself, oh, but it's fine,
because I've just spent 16 years of receiving,
so I've got to put the balance right
and be the person that pays it forward now.
But then once you've done 16 years,
I'm 34 now,
I've hit that critical point
where I've got even number of Christmases
that I've spent more
and Christmases that I've received more,
and I just feel like putting my hands up and going,
time served.
That's dark.
I'm done.
Let's do the Christmas. That's so dark like to to have imagine like that you have that viewpoint on life
no no not a viewpoint but now you're like i'm never probably gonna have a christmas
where i earn more that's like the death of a childhood the childhood's over now yeah i'm like
i'll be a bit of a give-out christmas now but i've i opted out once before and i went um i went on
holiday over christmas and i didn't receive any presents i didn't get any presents and i lay on of a give-out at Christmas now, but I've, I opted out once before and I went, I went on holiday
over Christmas
and I didn't receive any presents,
I didn't get any presents
and I lay on the beach
with the money
I would have spent
and went,
this is mint.
Yeah.
I think I'd really like
to snap out of the corporate
fucking illusion of Christmas.
Oh, absolutely.
I would get better
because I'm not religious
but I would get behind Christmas
every single year
for the simple fact
if any religion like made the society that you're in
take two weeks off at the same time as your mates,
even if they went,
we're going to pray to the church of fucking Narnia,
and we're going to pray to Aslan,
the little baby Aslan,
and you have two weeks off at the same time as your mates,
I'd be like,
fucking fix me up with a nativity play of Narnia.
But that's what the other thing is around,
I think,
working our job.
Or people who work a sort of job
that requires you
to be working over Christmas
because you feel like
you're missing out on certain things
because my mates will meet up
on like a Saturday
and I'll be like,
oh no, I'm working.
And then that makes you
even more annoyed at Christmas.
I think,
especially in our job
where gigs get a little bit rowdy. Gigs and the people you know and every your family's at home or something but
you've got to go out to wherever it is anyway but it's january now it's monday what have you
done today i had to come around and do your chores for you that's what you did actually give me fucking tiny amount of tiny amount of my fiance's house
because
wait
wait
first up
podcast listeners
me and Elliot
have both got wet feet
I better take my
I better take my socks off
you're a person
if you only wear wet socks
yeah I'm going for it
true fuck
right and Elliot
gave me one job
to do today
she's like
and you take the
Christmas tree out
what's the date the 8th yeah the Christmas tree out what's the date
the 8th
yeah the 8th
right it's the 8th
so it's
we've all
right we've had a dead tree
in the corner of the room
since Boxing Day
we forgot to water it
every day
no you didn't forget
to water it every day
that's why we've got
wet feet
I suppose so
they must have done it
I forgot to water it
but
we tried to carry it out
and we put it on its end
right
so you could grab one
and I could grab the other
and you were like
should we not take the base off first
I was like no
just tip it up
he was like
just take the base off
and then carry it
I was like no
we'll just put it in the bin
with the base
and then when you carried it
it poured out
and you were like
see
do you want to
do you want to tell him
how you upset the maintenance man
yeah well
we'll get to it
so we flooded the fucking house, basically.
We're tipping the water out.
And then we eventually carried it outside.
We're fucking hitting every wall, every corner on the way,
and it's just knocking hundreds of pines off.
We're going to be finding pines for the next 12 months in this flat.
Guaranteed.
Yeah, until it's time to get another Christmas tree.
You'll just clean it up, and then you'll get the other one.
And then, so I pressed the button for the lift
and it was on the ground floor
and it went up to one,
to two,
the floor we're on,
to three,
to four.
So I'm like,
oh,
the lift's programmed
to get the people at the top floor first,
bring them down,
get us on the way down,
right?
So we knew that
we're not going to get this lift
because we've got a fucking Christmas tree to carry.
So we'll put the Christmas tree
right in front of the doors
and then hit her in the corner
because we're 12 year olds
and we're peeking
around the corner
to see if we can
see the person
we couldn't see
the lift door
so we're like
oh now I can't see
the response
so I've had a look
and I go
oh look a Christmas tree
for fuck's sake man
grow up
I don't know how
they responded
but they went down
to the bottom floor
and then we come back through
press the button again
and they'd come up the floor too
and they'd go on the lift
fucking made a clip of the lift
oh there's just bits of tree everywhere
it's like you know that scene in Drive
where he beats someone's head in with a lift
it's like
replace the person he's killing
with a Christmas tree
that's how the lift looked after
I haven't seen the film Drive
I'm sorry
oh okay well that was a great reference
good reference for the listeners but let's quickly talk about looked after. I haven't seen the film Drive, I'm sorry. Oh, okay, well that was a great reference. Good reference for the listeners, but let's quickly talk about Ryan Gosling.
I watched, what's the, Behind the Pines?
Into the Pines.
What lies behind the Pines, what's it called?
Into the Pines.
It's not Into the Pines.
It's Into the Pines.
Nah.
It's Beyond the Pines.
Beyond the Pines.
The Place Beyond the Pines.
Right.
Because it's a long title. I don't know. It's not just like Beyond the Pines, it's like The. The Place Beyond the Pines. Right. Because it's a long title.
I don't know.
It's not just like Beyond the Pines.
It's like The Place Beyond...
It's something like that, right?
And it's actually fucking...
Wait.
Pause this fort.
We're in the lift of the Christmas tree.
Right.
Let's go around Gosling.
Go back in the lift.
It's three movies.
Yeah.
It's the movie with him in.
It's the movie with fucking...
Not Gerard Butler.
What's it called?
Bradley Cooper.
Bradley Cooper and Ray Liotta
and Ray Liotta
so there's their
story's the middle
it could have easily
just been a three part
series couldn't it
yeah
but it's like
three completely
different movies
and then there's
the bit with the kids
at the end
so it's like
a really like
great way of
like directing the movie
I was shocked by it
it was like
oh fuck the rules
it's quite good
like I like the style
but the first section
Ryan Gosling
grossly miscast
they should have put
Chris Payne in it actually
this isn't me just
playing on the pun
on Payne's and shit right
but Chris Payne
you've seen in Hell and High Water
he can play a bad boy
but have redeeming features
I like Ryan Gosling
Ryan Gosling
did not have any
redeeming features
apart from his pretty
little fucking face
with a very redeeming feature
it's not enough
it's not enough have a redeeming feature why is that girl even fucking face. With a very redeeming feature. It's not enough. It's not enough.
Have a redeeming feature.
Why is that girl even fucking here?
You're a bellend.
She's that shallow.
I saw this film years ago,
so I can't remember it.
Because then you start hating the girl
for even going with him
because you're like,
oh, you're a shallow piece of shit
for going with him
because he's a cunt.
Didn't reward his cunt cuntness
just because he's got a pretty face.
Right, so anyway.
This is a very explicit
commode uncut version.
So what I discovered with Ryan Gosling is like,
as I'm going to put it,
I started watching drive and I just was like,
fuck this bell ended,
knocked it off.
It's a,
it's a great,
drives a great film.
You've just got a,
it's,
it is a good film.
It's like,
as if grandfather was a movie.
So,
so I've seen him in another couple of films where he didn't have charisma either.
Cause he thinks
he can just get away
with pausing and being moody
and he pauses
for so fucking long
that I think
any Ryan Gosling movie
without the pauses
would be four minutes long
just opening credits
a guy having a quick chat
and they're closing credits
like fucking easy as that
I've got more of my day left
to play Skyrim
so get in the lift
and then go down to the ground floor and there's pines everywhere there's pains everywhere right
i'm not just pains but fucking water at the base of the tree it's a branch and we're just we're
just laughing because i'm going oh natalie's gonna come in going to the lift and be like well at least i know the tree's no longer in my flat yeah and when the doors opened
there was the fucking maintenance guy mopping the floor and i fucking broke my heart because he was
clearly the guy that was on floor six because he's fucking worked his way right up to the top
and then he's come down in the lift and then he's done the bottom floor that's how you would do it right you would work your way up
come back down
do the bottom floor
that's clearly how
he's done his business
he would have been there
when the doors opened
and the prank was on him
with a tree
and then we'd come
laughing and giggling
because we've done
the little prank
and then he's mopping the floor
and he's thinking of himself
oh fuck
I've already done floor two
and this floor
and we're just like
laughing at
something else
well not something
else the thing
that we did here
we wouldn't know
that he just
tidied up
oh I felt so
bad
you felt bad
you ran away
yeah I couldn't
actually run
I couldn't
I couldn't
I couldn't
I couldn't
I couldn't
I couldn't

I couldn't
I couldn't
I couldn't
I couldn't
I couldn't I couldn door and there's a particular there's a particular place but he like stormed off in a bit of a huff right when he saw he was like oh and then like went went away and you fucking ran into the
car park yeah i didn't want to back door i couldn't i couldn't look at what i'd done
i felt so guilty it's like have you ever seen that picture where they make the nazis re-watch
footage of what they've done and they're all like looking away and they feel horrific that i can i now understand
that like i felt like i did that yeah i'm just watching him because he was there mopping the
floor kai and i'm the door opens and i'm just giggling because i'm like oh we made a mess and
i'm like oh because i i fucking probably felt his pain too because I think the privileged
way of looking at it
would be like
oh but he's on the clock
he's getting paid
regardless of what he's doing
it doesn't matter
it's just like
it's giving him something
to do while he's at work
that bullshit
but when you work in that job
which I have done
I've worked in maintenance
I worked as a lifeguard
at a sports centre
but for the half hour
you're off the pool
you're just a glorified cleaner
so we like
clean the cafe
and the fucking squash courts
and like just keep the place
maintained throughout the day and you go off this like the thing that gets through the day is you
go when i finish this if i can get this 15 minute job done in 10 minutes i can pop into the staff
room and uh and check my phone and fanny on for a bit have a cup of tea have a cup of tea right
but now he's looking at that going well i've fucking got to get back in there and fucking
do that otherwise me boss will think
I've done nothing all day
I thought I said clean them
but there's fucking paint trees
so we
technically
instead of doing this podcast
and I've come over
specifically to do the podcast
we should have
pied this podcast
and fucking
I should have tidied up
my mess in the corridors
yeah but
I should have
and you know what I'm going to do
if after the podcast
it's still there
I'm going to do it
I think the podcast
should have been you
just tidying up
while talking your way
through it
but it was what you said
afterwards
it's like
if you wrote that
into a sitcom
you would go
oh come on
that's too cheap and easy
yeah
the two lads
are taking the Christmas tree
out of one of their
fiancés
to try and be helpful
mess everything
up and then ruin a cleaner's day.
Poor boys.
You'd be like, oh, come on.
It's 2018.
Men can clean up properly.
Then we're just
ruining everything.
Oh, my God.
As well, I wanted to mention
about
the transition of who
if the money you spend on christmas is i remember um one christmas when i was 22 i think this was
like a a real big in my head where i'm like oh i don't get a big present no more was on um when i
was 22 i just bought a place right and that all of my resources were going into furnishing it
and i didn't get the xbox 360 when i came out so I was desperate to have an Xbox 360 and I dropped
a bunch of hints I was thinking oh maybe my mum and dad will get us an Xbox 360 like we're following
me flat and um it was on the day of Christmas day up now me presents no Xbox 360 and then um after
Christmas dinner my mum went oh I've got one present
she brought a present
doing in a box right
and put it doing it for us
I was like
oh you little bugger
open it up
and it was a bread bin
it was a bread bin
for me flat
and she saved it
for after
no
she legit forgot it
and when she come down
and went
oh I forgot an item
and brought it doing she legit forgot it but And when she come down and went, oh, I forgot an item, it brought it down.
She legit forgot it.
But it looked like a play.
It looked like she played us.
Oh, Linda, what are you like?
Did you have to be like,
oh, gee, thanks, mum.
I was sick of my bread going dry quick.
I can't move for all the bread in my flat now.
I've got somewhere to put it.
But that's funny as well,
when people buy you practical gifts now,
it's not about your play.
Christmas ain't about furnishing you with entertainment items.
It's practical items now.
Things to make your day better.
Yeah, my sister's just started working
and she's done that thing where she didn't buy anyone anything.
Yeah.
She was at her friend's.
Nice.
And I just looked at that and I was like damn it i should have like
as well because the age she is she's a bit younger than you right she's doing that at the perfect
time to solidify that as her approach so people will stop buying her stuff she'll not buy other
people's stuff oh she still wants people to buy her stuff though oh no yeah yeah that's dark
yeah because that would be like i I'd love Christmas without the gifts.
I'd love to opt out.
Yeah, I'd like to just have it with one person
or a couple of people.
You have a thing like,
okay, cool, we'll get something
that you know the other person will want.
Do you know what I mean?
But if you want to get someone a gift,
get them a gift.
Because I'd like to buy people gifts on a whim
all year round.
That would be a nice approach as if I just like that.
Because there's an expectation on it too.
Like if you don't buy people gifts, it's rude.
Whereas it should be nice if you do get them a gift.
Yeah.
It's like people are expecting gifts.
Like what have I got to get them?
It ceases becoming a gift and it's more an obligation and a chore.
Whereas if it was just all year round, you were just kind.
And you say something and go, oh, you know what all year round you were just kind and you say
something and go oh you know what my brother would love that and then you buy it and then the next
time you see me like hey i saw this in the shop i thought it was right down your street i hope you
like it that would be mint yeah the one it would spread the cost yeah the one thing i will say
though that did help me out this year though that was incredible was amazon prime on the 23rd of
december i ordered my family gifts and they were
there the next day they're there the next day it was just i didn't have to go shopping i didn't
have to deal with other people i feel so bad for people who work in retail at christmas yeah because
you're just having to listen to christmas music all day which must do your head in like you can't
escape from the fact that it's christmas and it's christmas in the place that you least want to be at christmas work and that's where it's going to be most
christmassy because it's forced they've got to try and make people think oh yeah you've got to
buy stuff it's christmas it's christmas and you're there all day and then you've just got dickheads
like me walking in who don't know what they're buying for anyone and it's fucking scratching
your head getting in the way while yeah this is just unfolding clothes that they folded up bringing
in my Christmas tree
and dumping pints over the floor.
It's like opening a Christmas tree
in Jack Jones.
What was the other,
who stole that thing
you talked about earlier?
Who stole what?
You were like,
oh,
someone stole the charger.
Oh yeah,
I,
so fucking,
because this is,
you know, we're travelling on tour right i've got like
that was our seventh tour i think it was turn number seven right i've refined how i like to
live my life and i've got like i've got a bunch of stuff that i use and i've updated it like i
did the switch to me things this year so i've got like got my switch got my ipad you spend like all
the time away from home no home comforts so you you fill your fucking hand luggage with shit that you need and now one of the items which i love is
i've got this uh like probably one of the highest powered battery packs that you can get from
maplins i just went in and just got the best one it's got two charging points in it and so like
you've always got your headphones charged you have phone charge iphone charge and you don't need to
look for a plug socket in the train station or anything, it's sorted
so this battery pack is an essential part of
my travel
stuff and Natalie's
friend brought a friend to my Soho show
and went for a bite to eat beforehand
and I borrowed
a friend's friend my battery pack
and she didn't give it back
and then it was like, before I went
on the road again for the full Christmas she had three opportunities to drop it into the soho theater to katie's house
because natalie was going to see katie like people around her and she said she was going to do it but
then didn't do it so she was clearly just enjoying my battery pack oh she gave that to someone as a
christmas present she just goes oh i've missed the opportunity to hand it to her why are you the money
and she actually wired us
the money through
for me fucking battery pack.
So she's just got that,
started enjoying it so much.
And then bought an office.
And she bought an office
for Voodoo Legan.
Oh, this is class, haven't you?
Here's your money.
Just because I've been travelling
and going around,
I haven't fucking went
into the maplings already.
I've lived with Voodoo Legan
all through Christmas.
And it's my own, I've been a martyr here. I could have just went into the Maplans I've lived with Christmas and it's my own
I've been a martyr here
I could have just
went to the shop
and gotten it
but like basically
what she did
is give me an errand
days of fave
I'm going to Maplans
and buy me one
that's what she's doing
I like that policy
of that
I'm going to take
people's things
and go on like
some four week
free trial with it
and then if I like it
I'm just going to
send them the money
for it
send them the money for it
the money you know i would say i went there two weeks i bought a new one like yesterday
like the full christmas i didn't realize how much you need it when you've got stuff that
runs in a bar you don't have a homestead you know and you're just on the road all the time
but um but yeah she just borrowed it and then fucking just went ah fucking i'm having it
here's your dosh coming to money. And she waited too.
So that was what that was.
Oh, that's pretty funny.
That's pretty gangster of her.
Just taking someone's things.
She didn't have to wire you the money, though.
It's cavalier.
Oh, yeah, because it's a friend of a friend.
She could have just went, fuck that guy.
Yeah, she could have just kept that.
And even if she bumped into you.
That's a horrible outlook to go on.
She could have done that.
I could have run someone over on the street,
but I didn't because I'm such a naysayer.
No, no, no, I know,
but at least she had the decency to be like,
oh God, I'll just wire him the money.
We might be looking at it like she's enjoying it
and she might just be like,
oh, I haven't got time to go into any of these places.
Yeah, she's stuck with this battery pack.
I spent 40 quid over the Christmas.
Oh, was it 40?
It was 40 quid.
It's only 40 quid.
Should we get out a plug as well?
But when I went to get it,
I realised there's a 50 quid one now
that the air charges instead of six. I'm going in. And did you tell her it was? it's only 40 quid but when I went to get it I realised there's a 50 quid one now that'll be
8 charges
instead of 6
I'm going in
and did you
tenner it
I just went up
yours a tenner
muggle corner
should we put
a sticker to some
muggles
for sure
new year
new muggles
yes
new year
new me
I've actually been
I'm being a bit of a muggle right now.
I am getting into...
I think New Year's resolutions are pretty good.
Are you putting that in the muggle corner, no?
New Year's resolutions?
No.
No, let's talk about New Year's resolutions.
Because it is kind of muggly to just go, right, new year, new me.
I'm going to do this now.
But it's a real good jump off.
You've just finished party season.
You've fucking ate your weight
and chocolate
you've like
actually overindulgence
is such a great way
of getting healthy
because you'll start
like living like
fucking a king
just eating and drinking
and all that shit right
but you know that
in January
you can put it right
yeah
so yeah enjoy Christmas
morning on that January
we're on the corner
but we've both
getting back into the gym
and shit
and we're working out
I haven't had a cigarette
or dropped my alcohol I'm not quitting alcohol but i just i'm just not doing it on a
habitually yeah so i think it's that first week of getting back into like the gym and stuff is
the worst because when you go in and you see people who've trained over christmas especially
with muay thai or martial art like when i go in and I see the guys who've been training over Christmas and they're just
still at a steady pace
I'm like
oh why didn't I
I wish I
I wish I had
the willpower to do that
that nearly fucking
killed me dude
it was on the 3rd
the 3rd was my first day
back with Muay Thai
I actually went out
and had a fucking
10k run on the 2nd
so that I could get me
like knock the rust off
before I went in
thinking that I'd
pre-prepare myself for it
it eased me sort of in
fuck I was not prepared
for a bunch of
fucking athletes
that have been training
right the way through
the Christmas
and I come in
and now they're skipping
they do two minutes
of skipping
for three rounds
and in between each round
you do ten burpees
ten press ups
ten squats
ten sit ups
so you do three rounds
of that
and there's no break
and there's no break
so you're resting
from your skipping while doing burpees so you're not resting so when you get to the it there's no break so you're resting from your skipping
while doing burpees so you're not so when you get to the it gets to the point where you're doing sit
ups and you're like oh finally i can have a breather because i'm just doing the sit-ups now
that's that's fine yeah they're easy they're there that's your 10 10 seconds or less yeah
if like oh thank god it's this one right and then um after that they've done sprints where you sprint
down the middle run so i'm like doing these sprints,
but I'm on a loop
with people that have been training
all fucking Christmas,
so I'm having to get on at their pace.
And then in between,
you're doing shadowboxing
where your concentration's fucked
because you're gassed from sprinting.
And by the time I'd finished my warm-up,
that's the warm-up,
I was fucked.
I wanted to die.
Yeah.
Getting through the warm-up with that,
I always think,
is one of the worst verometers for your
fitness because when you get to the point where it's pads and stuff it's actually all right like
you it's actually a bit easier than than what but it's doing the warm-up because the warm-up's the
hard part yeah like i always find and the end the end bit of fitness as well is always the worst
bit i think because your legs are heavy then, because you've been doing kicks.
Yeah.
But there's a bit where,
so we're doing like pad work,
so you had, we were doing kicks on the pads,
and they're like, what is it, like two minutes?
Yeah.
Each round, maybe it's three.
And he started correcting someone's technique over there,
and just forgot about the clock.
And I'm doing fucking kicks in the other corner of the gym
for what felt like fucking three years.
I was like, am I just going to do this until I die?
I had someone, one of the coaches in one of the classes
took a work call while I was left on the bag
and just was like, yeah, just keep going.
And just took a work call.
Went off, had a work call and came back.
I was like, yeah, but now you know you can get through it.
And I was like, yeah, but that's not...
Yeah, it's a good way to start hating them doing it why are you torturing us dude the worst
one i always hated was uh we're not leaving until you get you get it right have you ever had that
nah you know i had that in a boxing gym i'd only be there two minutes
i had that in a gym before when a uh if um you messed one thing up you started again and uh when you did a circuit
if you gassed the other person would have to do the press-ups before the sparring
so it would make them really go for you so it's guilty when going the extra mile yeah it's good
but it encourages the teamwork aspects of it but it shows you how little conscious you have yeah
um so that yeah i really
had trouble with my first session because of the people that had went through and didn't and because
at any rate you go there what do you say at the beginning of every session you'll say does anybody
have any ailments or illnesses that you should know about you always check that just in case
anyone's picked up any injuries anything that you've got to avoid and i was thinking to myself
the amount of smoke and drunk and
put up my nose, I should probably
tell him about that. I should probably
just go, I have been smoking
fucking 20 a day and taking drugs and
drinking over the Christmas.
And he's got no teasers all day.
I didn't want to have a heart attack, dude.
Yeah.
So,
yeah, I got through it
because that's
like people say
you shouldn't train
so hard on your first
run back
because it could
put you off
but fuck man
that's weakness
that's fucking weakness
you know when am I
going to train very hard
in the first place
for you
if you're going to
oh I'm scared
of getting
scared of getting
out of breath
that's why
I like people
I think doing
something like
I used to just go
to the gym but then I found doing something like Muay Thai or anything like that because that's why i like people i think doing something like i used to just go to the gym
but then i found doing something like muay thai or anything like that because there's someone there
telling you what to do you actually find out oh i can do it usually the person who stops me from
doing it is me like if i ever slack off in the gym because i'm like i've just lifted that i've
a break but there you see everyone else is doing it so you go oh i don't want to be the odd one out
like i don't want to be the odd one out like i don't
want to be the person who doesn't do it like it gets you to conform to it so much more yeah and
as well it get like the next day i went in and it was pretty much the same drill but i'd fucking
i was just a little bit fitter than i was yesterday and uh i was like i was out of breath i was
fucked but i didn't feel like i needed to tap out and then today was like my third session back
because i went away for the weekend and i was just like my third session back because I went away
for the weekend
and I was just like
oh right
I'm starting
it's starting to feel normal
to do a 90 minute session now
yeah
I took a leg injury
last Thursday
so I'm
it's bitching it
especially so early in the year
when you're getting momentum
it sucks
well I hope everyone
is fucking
new year new muggle
and you are
getting
getting better in yourselves already
because it is
fucking
it does seem muggly but you know what if you're better in yourself it's fine to be a muggle and you are getting getting into bettering yourselves already because it is fucking it does
seem muggly but you know what if if you're bettering yourself it's fine to be a muggle
to what you're putting in muggle corner i'm gonna stick on the topic of the gyms muggles get annoyed
at gym newcomers around new year's look at mine regular gym goers who complain about new people
in the gym in january yeah let's double down on this what's your point
on it right just i'm gonna i'm gonna play devil's advocate a bit yeah new gym goers can be annoying
they get especially when there's a wave of them because they'll take up a machine they'll work
they won't wipe something down they don't quite get it yeah they're sat on the fucking machine
on the phone yeah just just do you know
what i mean but it's amplified and made so much worse than it actually is and people use it to
humble brag yeah people use it to put output on on various medias saying look i go to the gym all
the time now these people that aren't better than come on the first day and they're like they're
fucking the the confidence it takes for someone that doesn't go to the gym
to step in the gym, right?
It's a real battle against anxiety for a lot of people.
So you've got to respect that.
You go every day, it's easy for you to step in the gym.
For them to step in the gym, they've fucking combated something.
They've had internal conflict to get it up to this point.
So you've got to have a bit of respect for the people that are newcomers.
And also, I don't know,
I try not to interact with anybody really at the gym,
but you should be supportive rather than...
It makes it so much easier, I find.
I never like interacting too much at the gym
because I can find you can then be there
and having more social time
than the reason you've actually gone there for.
Especially when it's down to you, like I was saying.
If you sit around and your mate's in there there you can end up having a chat for 15 minutes
instead of actually doing anything but I always like saying like hello to people
and stuff and especially newer people because it gets rid of the intimidating
environment of it like if there's big people in a weights machine and you need
to get the confidence to go up and be like hey mate how long are you gonna be
yeah and then that person says hello to you that makes that so much more easier even if it's like uh even if it's less less conversational and
more business like hey are you going to be using this is it all right if i use this for five
minutes and just like you know maybe like one of the handles from the cables like one of the ropes
or something and it's go is it all right if i just use this you don't plan on using it and then
like it breaks that like just fucking you know everyone's in their own little bubble you've
interacted with someone a bit and then it's fine.
What do you think
some of the worst gym etiquette
you've ever seen is?
You know what,
I think if anyone like came
and tried to correct me form,
I told us how to train,
I think I'd just be like,
fucking step back.
So,
I think that would be the worst.
On my first day back at Muay Thai,
I went in on the first day
that it was back
and I accidentally joined in with the MMA class to the first day that it was back and i accidentally
joined in with the mma class to start with but it was a high level mma class i didn't realize
so then i went over to the muay thai session but it was only an intro level muay thai session going
on and uh so i'm a level above that and i was there and one of the guys who i was doing kicks
with like i was just taking it really lightly then corrected my kicks oh just one of the guys who I was doing kicks with, like I was just taking it really lightly, then corrected my kicks.
Oh, just one of the other...
Just one of the other guys on the thing.
And like, it took me everything not to be like,
yeah, dude, don't worry, I know what I'm doing.
Like, it just took everything to be like,
oh, did you just do it?
Yeah, I had a guy that was new to the gym,
taught us how to hold the pads once.
Oh!
I think they're made like
consider it as well
when you're training
with them
you're spotting
so many things
with them
that like
you know are wrong
but you're not actually
equipped to correct them
you can like
maybe
I've lent guidance
to people that are
brand new before
but if there's anybody
been going to similar
times with me
sometimes like
you know if we're watching
and I see that somebody's
dropping their guard
I'll let them know with a pad let them know that it's open just go to you can get hit there
and there's like hang out to get there but if like it's it's funny when people try and use it
as like a power thing if like it's the worst and you're like the coach is there the coach can see
us if he'd picked up one and he would have told us that's that's always my thing i was having a
chat with one of the crew wil Wilker, at my gym,
who's just been ranked number one in his weight category
at K1, right?
And I said to him one time,
I was like, I only listen to the coaches here
because I get given so much advice
by some other people,
but it's like, yeah,
but those are the paid professionals.
Yeah, and they give you conflict and advice as well.
You don't want to come from all that.
Yeah, and you don't want to go down there and have to take 10 things in on one day
because it's just going to overload you but uh there was talking about bad etiquette there was
one lad in on the thursday last week who was doing it he was clearly his first time in the gym right
so um we're about 20 minutes into the session and he fucking disappeared to the changing room
come back with his phone and charger and plug his charger in
and honestly
this is when I realised
that Muay Thai is a discipline
because the fucking coach
wanted to actually murder him
and the coach
had to show discipline
to let him know
that he was fucking
like
breaching
the dojos
like the respect
of the fucking arena
right
but not
not scare him away
yeah
to explain to people why that's like
so bad okay so when you turn up you have to take your shoes off you sort of there's a bit of a
bow to there's very much a hierarchy in that you call the teacher crew yeah and last week on
thursday crew was taking a lesson and i accidentally went jay and he went it's crew and i went oh sorry
because it just slipped and i felt embarrassed
because it is this person's giving you a lesson so they're the teacher and that there is a bit of a
you have to be disciplined within it yeah so doing that is just that's like in a middle of a converse
it's quite military isn't it yeah but for him to go and get that i just like heard him pull him to
one side and just like firm as anyone just going that should be the last thing on your mind right now
I'm mad that you did it
but I'm mad that
you are even thinking about it
like why are you thinking
about anything else
apart from what we're doing
if that person
continues with Muay Thai
they're in like
two months
going to feel so embarrassed
they'll tell that story
to their mates
going oh my god
one time on my first lesson
people going
you did what
yeah
so yeah
so the newcomers
at the gym it is like funny that little
reach out again they don't know and they're integrating trying to jump in but the fact that
yeah the shaming part of it the fact that like they they're coming into that gym and they're
giving it a go and they might even find out it's not for them and leave by february and that's what
people don't like about it is that they don't come all year round they're trying something out
they're trying a new thing they They're trying to improve themselves.
Realize it's not for them to drop off
and they've come into their domain.
But what is worse than those people,
and this is borrowed sentiments,
I've seen this before,
is the people that just got into the pubs in December.
The guys that are saying,
oh, who comes to the gym just in January,
they're the cunts that can't handle a beer.
They're the cunts that fucking come to comedy gigs
and fucking shout out because they're drunk
and they're showing off
in front of their mates
the worst night of the year
I always think
to go out clubbing
or anything
will be New Year's
because you get that
extra 20-30% of people
who cannot handle their shit
and they go
drinking
when people say
no you're limiting drinking
it's not like
oh I know after four beers
it's just
see how you feel
do you know what I mean if you're fucked and you know you can get more fucked and you're not going it's not like oh i know after four beers it's just see how you feel do you
know i mean if you're fucked and you know you can get more fucked and you're not going to be a burden
that's fine by me do you know i mean that's fine but it's then people who get i was saying this to
jamali the other day right about after gigs nothing scares me more like women in their mid-30s who've
had too much white wine i love that you said mid-30s
that's my age it's terrifying it's that anti-feeling isn't it the drunk andy and they can't excuse i
just wanted to say that i thought you were and that thing let me and they just start grabbing
you and you go like oh my god they start getting a bit predatory yeah it just gets a little bit
that more like the reason it's not a threat is because I do Muay Thai
and I can't mark them up.
While you've been practising drinking,
I've been practising my sphinx.
I'm not going to be here.
I'm not going to be your next victim.
There is something funny about that fucking drunk auntie vibe
we were at a thing over Christmas
and there was
I won't say where
but there was a moment where
I think we just went to play some Mario Kart
or something wasn't it
and someone got annoyed
one of our friends
yeah just got a bit like
oh where are you going
And it was like
Everyone here is
Doing their thing
It's cool
It was like fucking
Because we'd all done our gigs
Went to join Natalie
And our pals
And Brett and everyone
Was there
In the nightclub
That Mary and Sarah
Were running
Yeah Beckham
Was wicked as well
And then we came back here
In this flat
And the Christmas tree
Was in full bloom
With baubles on it And then um it got like four in the morning people are like having their own conversation
now and there's people in the kitchen people in the bedroom like the party's like formed
and then we started playing Mario Kart four player across two switches me you Tom and Sloss
yeah so it was and then like that made us rude and Sarah was just like
you've all got such
pretty girls with you
and you're just ignoring them
and playing on your Mario
and that
and I was like
oh fuck
we're just playing
Mario Kart
this is more annoying
than a blue shell
you put fucking
grease on earlier
yeah
do you remember
when we sat there
and we had to watch
that video
of that guy
that five minute video
of that guy proposing
to his girlfriend.
And I was just like...
Yeah, they were putting proposal videos on.
But without a fail.
Yeah.
No failed videos.
Proposals.
Yeah, yeah.
That was sweet.
Yeah.
I was waiting for the moment when she was going to say no.
Oh, it's just like, had me fucking hard cocked,
ready for the heartbreak.
Took me fucking spine out.
I was like what is that the
is that the end of
the video
they're getting
married
I think it's funny
as well
like I am not
going to put my
because you just
threw Sarah Holgate
into the drunk
auntie vibe
and you are in
deep trouble
am I
I'll take that
beat when I come
to you
Sarah sound as fuck.
Oh, yeah, no, she's lovely.
No, no, no.
I'm just disassociating myself from your team when it comes to...
Ah, that's fine.
I'll double down.
But you put her in Muggle Corner.
Yeah.
I'll throw her in Muggle Corner.
I'll throw Kate in Muggle Corner.
And I'll throw Natalie in Muggle Corner.
For getting upset when we're playing Mario Kart.
Pretty Liam the Way in Muggle Corner for playing fucking video games at a party.
Oh yeah, no, definitely that could be the other
Muggle. So right, the people that complain
about new gym
gym goers in January are in Muggle Corner.
If you've been
vocal about your
about your disdain
towards these people, get in the corner.
Next Muggle Corner. So we've done
one each. We've done one each we've got
two each to go um his and hers matching clothes or jewelry if that's not already been in muggle
i don't think it has but like um danny put me and natalie in muggle corner
this christmas and i was so i'm like i bet i i bet i put my hand up shame myself
and say
look it's me
when
so Natalie
told us
she had me
a Christmas jumper
sorted
and it was
the red
Merry Christmas
you filthy muggle
Christmas jumper
which I bought
myself the white one
for me and her
we're rocking around
on Christmas
with his and hers
matching Christmas jumpers
it's fine on Christmas
I mean just even
by wearing a Christmas jumper
you're fucking assigned
to being a muggle
yeah Christmas Christmas is a time where you're fucking assigned to being a muggle yeah Christmas
Christmas is a time
where you're meant
to celebrate that muggleness
well last year
I put Christmas
in muggle corner
Christmas is fucking muggle
it's a muggle beehive
oh it absolutely is
but you embrace it right
you embrace it
you're around your family
so you have to have
family fun
which is usually muggly
it's like a game of charades
yeah
that's muggly but it's great you game of charades. Yeah. That's Muggly, but it's great.
You could do a fucking Christmas special on Muggles,
because there's probably like a hundred things
surrounding Christmas that's Muggly, right?
One of them being Christmas jumpers,
but doubling down on his and his.
But it made me think, like,
Danny was essentially right.
I was committing to being a Muggle
by putting a Christmas jumper on.
Natalie was committing to being a Muggle
by buying me his and hers.
We were being self-aware muggles.
But it's a legit thing.
Have you ever seen these stuff?
Facebook advertisements where king and queen are on.
But that to me never says I'm in a really happy, secure relationship.
Do you know what I mean?
That we have to wear these kind of things.
That we've both got a pair of matching Air Force Nike trainers?
It's a jealousy fire blanket.
It's like everybody needs to know you're with me.
I'll put a fucking stamp on you.
The stamp that's his main.
It feels like that's such a thing my generation is responsible for buying into more than anything.
I don't know.
I think fucking old people do it in a different way. not like get rid of jealousy but getting wedding rings by getting
practicality and i was thinking like fucking his and his regatta jackets like fucking for when
they go walking in the hills they've both got the same fucking winter warmer on or whatever
yeah you do see that that's that's a much sweeter version but there's much more of the social media
aspects when it comes to my generation of that. When people buy a matching...
Have you ever seen them like,
I'm with her jumper,
and it'll have a picture of a girl's face on it,
and you'll see a girl be like,
oh, he's going on his stag do,
and I've bought him this.
And you're like, you know he can take that off.
He's going to put that on for like three quarters,
and it's going to look like he bought the whole holder.
Yeah, I think it's super muggly
I think it's part
of that whole
it's like when
people share those
keep tagging each other
constantly in Facebook
posts like
I super love
my bundle
and you're like
that's not
what people
would have been
loved to do
I've spoken to this
with Sloss before
about that seems to me
like when you're
playing football manager
and you get the manager's vote of confidence from the board
if somebody puts I love my girlfriend
so much on Facebook
I'm like oh you were in rocky seas
you've had three games to get a result
I don't know because I've never really been i've never had to do that sort of thing but
i i just don't i think people share all of that that buying each other clothes thing that is
matching especially when it's like matching tracksuits or something i saw one where someone
shared a thing and it was like a picture of uh Bugatti Veyron, some of the most expensive cars in the world.
And it was like a gold,
like obviously one was like a blue collar
and a pink collar for like the masculine and feminine
and being like,
this is how I want to be with my wife.
And I'm like,
what are you talking about?
Why do you need matching Bugatti Veyrons?
That's,
it was just so mugging.
Just be individual.
Stop trying to become one person. Stop trying to merge into fucking, because that's the thing, so mugging just be individual stop trying to become one person
yeah
stop trying to merge
into fucking
because that's the thing
right
everybody is like
unique
and they've got their own
shit that they like
right
like fucking
I like my Playstation
and Muay Thai
Natalie doesn't like
her Playstation
and Muay Thai
right
but I don't cut
them bits off me
so that we fit
yeah
you know
I'll do my thing
she'll do her thing
and we'll work together
as two individuals
perfect
then we try and become the same individual.
Is that going to clash?
It's so irritating, but it's such a millennial thing.
I see it a lot with millennials.
I had a friend who him and his missus got matching pair of trainers.
Gross.
How about, I don't know if this is muggly,
but Natalie often chooses clothes for us
because I dress myself terribly.
That's because you're her project.
I just did a decent job.
I did look better than the clothes I wear.
But she reckons I dress myself like a toddler.
Like a 30-odd-year-old man.
I can't run with a bright red and blue fucking firetrap jacket.
What Kai's in right now
is in
just a t-shirt
just a t-shirt
he's just wearing
Merry Christmas
you filthy muggle
and that's it
but she dresses
very plain though
I used to wear
really loud clothes
like
I used to have
loud clothes
like
like
garish
like I had this jacket
that I fucking loved
that was bright blue
on the torso
and then the arms were red
bright red
and it was made of like
this kind of waterproof
highly flammable material
right
it was fat
it was kind of expensive
but I fucking loved it
and it was like
you could have it inside out
as well
and it had like a grey
inside lining
and you could wear it
as a hoodie
and I loved it
but Natalie was just like
fucking hated it
probably despised it
and now I've got this thing
I'll be wearing like a
like a non eye catching hoodie
with a non eye catching jacket over the top of it
and actually look really smart
but like it wasn't the style
I was rocking, just changing this
but I'm letting it happen
because it's actually
for the better
yeah
to see a point
why am I trying
to attention seek
with me clothes
do you still go out
in like
kappa tracksuits
like I've seen pictures of
oh mate
you know this
I was a proper chav
I had well into me 20s
do you know that
yeah
I've seen the photos
I'm a rehabilitated chav
I'd wear a tracksuit
and bleach me hair
right well into me 20s
to like 25
but I don't think
tracksuits are that chavvy if you're not if you're not using them for sport no but i used to gig in
them i don't know the abercrombie tracksuit bottom i used to gig in these abercrombie tracksuit
bottom i don't think that's too bad i don't think that's too bad i'll tell you why because if you
actually there's some nice tracksuits out there like if you
know a decent tracksuit like if someone was to wear like a abacombi's decent even even some of
the adidas and nike ones if they're decent quality a good tracksuit but it was uh it was julia
chamberlain that tackles out of it like my agent did as well so it wasn't natalie it wasn't i didn't
know natalie before i got past this i got past this hurdle on my own right well well with the
help of some friends but it was julia who books a few gigs uh who like loved loved react but she said to this uh it took me a good couple of minutes the first
time i saw it i realized you weren't a character act and that's actually you and then it was still
seriously and she's good but it was still like charming to know that's you and that's not a
character right but uh but it has people confused for a couple of minutes and then she said uh in
the tracksuit bottoms thing like that's like the main thing it looks like i've dressed specifically to look chavvy rather than i'm just a chav right and then
she was going because it's a friday night people are fucking coming in on a night out they've
dressed up they've spent hours getting ready they come to the comedy and then you've pulled
on a pair of slacks that took you 30 seconds yeah at least do them a solid and make a little bit of
an effort yeah i think it is important to make a bit of effort for shing yeah especially when i've realized that like
our people have paid money to come see a night of comedy and if you just turn up sort of looking
unless you can pull it off unless it's a thing in your act you know what i mean but if you just
come on looking like you're not really bothered about being there it does take that it's that
extra bit harder to win them over yeah so um so yeah she's i am a
project they're kind of bit muggly but she's she's doing a good job and i'm letting it happen because
i'm like oh now i look better and i feel better i think it's funny if you do things that are
muggly but you're self-aware but i'd hate to be i'd hate to feel repressed by that though
i'd hate to be sat here new gun um but that jacket was aww but I'm like you know what
now we've opened
my eyes
you've got a point
jacket watch
give it to charity
someone else is
enjoying it
what do you think
the worst thing
you've ever
gigged in is
like clove wise
I don't know
do you remember
when we were
we both stayed up
one night
to watch our
first ever
stand up
like put out
their stand up
clips
yeah
and we were
watching my oh yeah one right one didn't make it myself watch each other for like 10 years like
well mine was nearly 10 years ago from when we first started and we put mine on and i was in
the same t-shirt that i had worn then i was sat with you and you just went you're in the same shirt it was just the worst moment
hang on there
I'm going to mix it up
so yeah
that's good at Muggle Corner
yeah absolutely
his and hers
anything
jewellery, clothes
like fucking anything
that's his and hers
fucking big individuals
fucking Muggles
getting the corner together
different corners though
just stop doing everything together you have to be in in the corner together different corners though just stop doing everything together
be in the same
corner
in their corners
my one is
muggles tweet
Donald Trump
comedians date
all the time
and I'll see them
and just go
what
grow up
I've been blocked
by him
that's the worst
there's a comedian
I know
whose banner
on Facebook
for a while was a picture that
he was blocked by donald trump and it was like you clearly want his approval like you want some
sort of approval of like donald trump the most powerful man in the world has taken time out of
his day to look at my tweet and block me you're the reason he's going fucking mad and threatening
everyone if you all just stop tweeting him shit he probably would just give up
do you know what I mean
you stupid cunts
like that
I mean that guy
is fucking terrifying
and you know what
for everything that he writes
I could probably
I could probably come up
with a witty retort
or like a logical
breakdown of what he says
that fits 140 characters
that would be like
smart
and nice
and unique
but I'm not
I'm not doing it
because why the fuck
would I just highlight how insignificant I am?
Yeah.
That's what they're doing.
They're just like, they're taking shots at this powerful dude.
Is that?
It means nothing.
It's like trying to fucking bucket water off the Titanic.
Is there anything worse than the full stop in front of the at name on Twitter?
Oh.
So everyone can see it.
And what you are saying there,
and I've probably done it as well,
but this was a few years ago,
probably when I was like 18.
Do you know what I mean?
Now that I'm saying it,
I wouldn't really do it anymore,
is you're saying there,
I think this is so funny,
a reply that everyone's going to retweet it
and I'm going to go viral.
That's what you're saying.
I'm proud to say that
when I tweeted Sony and Bose to get along,
I didn't make that public.
I'm so proud to say that I didn't think,
oh, you know what?
Half a dozen people are going to love this.
Oh, yeah.
But it's just the way people go on about it.
He tweets some nuts shit, don't get me wrong.
And I think it's scary to live in a time
where we've gone past the point of like,
how can you satirize him?
Yeah.
Like it's beyond satire.
There's,
it's gone to that point where you go,
oh,
this is now just,
I can watch him.
And that's funny enough.
Yeah.
I don't need people.
It doesn't need a parody.
It doesn't need people dressing up and acting like him.
You're like,
oh no,
he's doing that already.
Yeah.
Like you couldn't do a spitting image dummy a trump like it wouldn't
be as funny on spitting image because it would just be like yeah yeah that's what he's doing
yeah pretty much but when he tweeted that thing about my buttons a lot bigger than you just go
you're the fucking president man oh man but it makes me think like I'd love to see what like Genghis Khan would have tweeted
it would have been
mint
I'd shagged
eight birds
the day
who's saying that
how can you not
say I'm mint
him just sliding
into loads of DMs
he would be
hey uh
did you fancy
meeting up? No?
Cool, well we're going to raid your village later.
I'm going to raid your village
tomorrow and make a social case.
Just giving people
heads up on Twitter.
There's a lot less bloodshed.
What do you reckon's in Donald Trump's draft
tweets? Do you reckon he's got
some ones he's written and gone, oh Jesus,
I can't put that one out.
Well, you know what
shocked us, right?
The reason I'm not too
fucking terrified
about his reign
is that I don't really
think it's him.
I think he's the
fucking spokesperson,
right?
But like everyone says,
there's a cabinet of people
around him that probably
know what they're doing.
They probably haven't got
the best interest at heart
but it's not,
I don't think it's
not his decision
to do shit, right?
Yeah.
Right?
But you would think the people around him would get his phone.
I think the people around him have just sort of decided he is doing this.
But that's how he came to power.
He's a massive distraction.
Everything he's doing is a distraction from fucking what's really happening, probably.
But that's how he came to power, was he was just tweeting.
He was like a wrestling character, do you know what I mean?
And now he's sort of doing it and people go oh shit, you're still doing that?
Did he get president in the same way that
fucking Kildon the name of?
Christmas number one.
Wouldn't it be funny if we got that guy from
Home Alone?
The concierge from Home Alone.
You never played the concierge?
What was he?
He owned Trump Tower.
He wasn't that good an actor at a concierge.
People went, I want to hear what this guy has to say.
Did he play Trump?
I'm the one who's been brought on the podcast and called an idiot and made to answer questions.
And you think the president...
What, you think you're a demon?
Thing is that you've got an extensive knowledge on home alone home alone too sorry sorry mate
yeah he he owns trump the trump hotel that mccall the club stays in
yeah in home alone that's the lust of new york one isn't it yeah that's the one with the pigeon
lady yeah that one's a bit of a stretch. Clearly watched it a few times, though.
Yeah, but you just...
You're not going to...
Once you lose a kid,
you're going to do everything to make sure you don't lose them again.
It gets to the point now where the fucking...
The services need to get involved, right?
Oh, yeah.
It's not a comedy anymore.
It's actually how I get involved.
Like the Dursleys?
It's like if the McCann's found Maddy
and went on another
holiday and lost her
again
whoopsie daisy
what are we like
the tweets at me are
going to be a bit
different this time
aren't they
you're going to be
like Elliot you're
also smart you know
everything about
standalone
I know make sure
you just put a full
stop in front of it
before you tweet it
so everyone knows
so what are we putting
in muggle corner again
what's the
Donald Trump
people that tweet
they're trying to
bring down like
Piers Morgan
Donald Trump
Katie Hopkins
but they put a full stop
and they're like
they're bragging
that I got blocked by
like fucking
get away from them
just do your thing
you think you're
making a difference but you're not.
You're a muggle.
Get in the corner.
So I've got a...
Like, I don't know where the line is on this,
but people who say Happy New Year, like, well into January,
like, when do you draw the line?
I did, like, handshakes Happy New Year's for, like, a day and a half, maybe.
I saw people, but...
Like, when I saw you the other day,
some people would have took the answer to the door and went happy new year yeah i only do that to people who've just
gone back to work yeah like i think i think that's much more if you're if you're in a job where you
haven't seen something like when i had to email people in the after the office thing today talking
about gigs and stuff i'd'd open the email with,
I hope you had a nice Christmas,
happy new year.
Yeah.
But I did think, like,
it is the 8th of January.
Yeah, I think it was the last one
before the weekend.
It was the last email I sent with it in.
But, like, it gets to the point where,
like, when you type it out and you go,
am I being a muggle now?
There is a point where it's, like,
think of something new to say, dude.
Like, that's yesterday's news. I'm going to just keep it going all the way up until August. Am I being a muggle now? There is a point where it's like, think of something new to say, dude.
That's yesterday's news.
I'm going to just keep it going all the way up until August.
Did anyone tweet on Christmas Day,
may the fourth be with you?
That'd be good.
It was the second wave of mugglery around the may the fourth be with you.
It was people posting it, not on may the fourth.
Like, way off
but
the worst one
and I'm sure
this must have been
covered I know
everyone would have
heard it
is people go
oh I haven't had a
bath since last year
oh
that's the worst
and even if you're
doing that to be
annoying
like even if you're
doing that joke
knowing you're annoying
but I've had people
say it genuinely
we've said it's part of the problem
is like being self aware and doing a muggly
thing is still mugglery like we laid that down
as a rule but this is something
I did and not like
trying to be a muggle not trying to be anything
just sincerely did
is I left some of my books
like I'm so ashamed
at that minute I left a couple of books
unfinished
an audio book
and a book I was reading
unfinished
so that on the next
the first week of the year
or the first day of the year
I could finish those books
and then jot them down
as books read
in 2018
because I keep
thinking of how many books
I read each year
and I got off the block
with two on day one
because I left them
to be finished
Did you just like
wait and leave one paragraph
and then be like, oh, yeah.
No, I just, like, in the last hour,
I have an audio book,
and the last couple of chapters, I have a book.
That was my New Year's resolution,
was to read more books.
That's my New Year's resolution every year,
is to read more books.
And this is just like, I don't like,
every year I try and read more books than the last.
This year I came in on about the same, right?
And I could have went
how many did you read but i read 24 fuck that's a lot of books so like every year i've went up by
quite a bit like i'll go like 12 then fucking 18 and 24 like that was the last three years um
so this one should have been more it was coming the same i could have fucking come in by reading
them books but i justified it in my head that the books i read were way bigger i read like fucking raymond d feist novels that were thousand pages long
fucking ervin welch's skag boys like salem's lot i read the dark tower series which are thousand
like page books so i've read like if you put the books i read last year like on a pile and put the
books i read the year before on a pile there'd be a fucking massive difference so i'm not like so
much into the numbers as like i'm reading more yeah i find i find reading because i've just started reading
train spotting and i'm like really enjoying it but my god it has put me off like i reading that
book as a dyslexic is one of the hardest things in the world because it's already all broken up
yeah and you're just going oh this car is so difficult. Not that the podcast knows or know this,
I'm not what you call a reader.
Nah, I read like fucking,
actually, when I read,
I read like Morgan Freeman's reading it out in my head.
It's just so slow.
I just mean the pace of him,
like the fucking pace that I'm reading
is the pace of someone that's slow and measured
reading out loud.
Why is watching films not considered as smart
as reading a book?
Because films,
there's some
class films out there.
We're going way over
the time on the podcast here,
right,
but it's the fucking new year.
We'll just,
you know,
bonus one.
Okay.
People have probably
switched off already.
There's probably just
Danny listening.
I'll cover this, right.
Take Gone Girl,
for example, right.
People that have read the movie,
read the movie,
people that have watched the movie
really enjoyed the movie, right?
But anybody,
and I'm going to say this,
anybody that's read the book
can't watch the movie.
Why?
You can't get through it, right?
Because everything in that book
is what's happening in their heads.
It's what's happening
with this thought process.
Now, in the book,
when it's covering the thought process
of the fucking dude that's going through all this fucking drama, right? Ben Affleck can't pull happening with his thought process now in the book when it's covering the thought process of the fucking dude
that's going through
all this fucking drama
right
Ben Affleck can't pull off
that fucking thought process
with his face
he fucking can't
he can't pull it off
because it's
you're in a person's head
in the book
and then you're fucking
watching Ben Affleck
fucking half smile
like you just think
nah
right
so the book can just
go into a bit more detail
and give you more
a bit of an insight
to the character
insight to their mind
and their motivations
and everything that
you can't develop
so I just think
the book's just
way more extensive
about thought process
don't get me wrong
I'm really enjoying
reading Trainspotting
I'd say
I'm like halfway through it
and I'd say it's one of
it's definitely
kept me reading it
and it's going to be
one of the best things
I've ever read
but there's no Iggy Pop soundtrack to it oh the fucking soundtrack to Trains it, and it's going to be one of the best things I've ever read. But there's no Iggy Pop soundtrack to it.
Oh, the fucking soundtrack to Trace Pond.
And it's just like, whenever I'm reading it,
when I'm reading it, I'm like,
oh, this is the bit where Renton would be,
oh, yeah, and Ewan McGregor would be,
and I'm just like, oh, it's a great film, isn't it?
I should put the film on.
That's what happens.
So, right, let's quickly put these in Muggle Corners.
So we're joined in on one with regular gym goers
who complain about new people in their gym.
They're just trying to battle themselves.
They're trying something new.
They're trying to get it right for the first time.
They might not even last.
Just give them a chance.
His and hers matching clothes and jewellery.
Shoe-in, Muggle Corner.
Saying Happy New Year.
Well, it's a blurred line.
Can you still say it now?
If you're saying it next week, come on.
Just about.
Just about. Every day that goes by, you're a little lane. Can you still see it now? If you're seeing it next week, come on. Just about. Just about.
Every day that goes by, you're a little bit more in Muggle Corner.
Yeah.
Right, let's make now the point where you stop.
Anyone listening to this, just stop now.
But turn to the person next to you, even if you're on a train,
and you don't know him, and just go,
Happy New Year, bro.
For next year.
Just in advance, I might not see you again.
Right, what ones have you put in?

So, yeah, tune in to Comedy Central.
Watch Elliot roast his dad.
Oh, and I'm also at...
Go and tell them who wins.
I'm also at The Stand with Gareth Waugh in Edinburgh
on February 1st with G-Tip.
And I'm going to be up there as well.
So, and Kai's going to be up there as well.
I'm going to be staying there as well.
So, Sloss and Humphrey's

but we're on
separate roads
right now
Sloss will be back
in a week's time

finds to help
him out
