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!
Ha ha ha!
They said it can't be done!
Are we in the same seats?
That's hack.
Aww, muggles.
Accidental rim job in the park.
Kiss, kiss, kiss.
Or am I just being cynical?
Just muggled it up on fuckin' Mugglepedia.
Where have you been since 9-11?
You know what they say, Elliot?
That muggins makes the cream go round.
Damn straight.
Muggins is the root of all cream.
I think it's changing the idioms, actually, if I've got you on,
because you're not cream.
I haven't got a name on this podcast.
Here's your options, right?
You're going to be called Sugar,
because muggins with no cream want sugar.
Don't bring this shit back up, guy.
Or you can be Milk.
You'll be Milk.
No.
Because you're low-fat cream.
I like that.
Well, that's because, I mean, like, you're cream light.
Could I?
You're like the weak replacement.
Every week you invite me to do this podcast and I come on.
And I'll tell you, well, for the last three weeks,
and I'll tell you what happens when I walk in the door.
I don't walk in and we start this podcast.
I walk in and you go, oh, by the way, I've just got to do these chores.
Do you want to help me out with it?
I'm starting to realize.
I just took an answer delivery.
You didn't, you don't even want me on the podcast.
You just get me around to help out with household stuff.
Like I come up and there's a mop,
there's a little skimpy maid outfit for me
and all of a sudden I'm around there going,
oh boy, I can't wait to do my dad jokes.
And I'm just there cleaning away.
Oh, it's so nice of Kai to invite me in here.
Oh, let me just dust behind the TV a little bit.
I don't even want it here.
I forgot to thank you for that, by the way.
Thanks for helping us with the chores.
Unbelievable.
But sorry, mate. I shouldn't have took the piss out of you. I'm going to thank you for that by the way. Thanks for helping us with the chores. Unbelievable. Sorry mate, I shouldn't have took the piss
out of you. I'm going to big you up.
I know I took the piss out of you
last week, last time we did the podcast because you
haven't been late but ladies and gentlemen, Elliot
has been late since the last time we did a podcast.
No I haven't.
I know, I just wanted you to see it.
And I loved how the listeners
put it into perspective
of how much time has passed
since the last time you got here.
Oh, they were so creative.
Someone said you could have watched
The Sound of Music.
No, no.
Someone said I could have watched
every series of The Wire,
all episodes.
56 times.
Like 56 times or something.
Back to back.
What was the one about gerbils?
A gerbil could have
had sex
give birth
raised it's young
five times over
at the time
yeah I mean
I had gerbils
bubble and squeak
they ate
they ate
they were young
it was weird
like as a kid
as a kid
and me fucking
mum and me dad
and me grandad,
because I kept them at my grandad's house,
so you could look after them, and I'd visit.
Are you sure it wasn't your mad grandad, Pete,
who just ate the young of the gerbils and blamed it on the gerbils?
He was wiping blood off his mouth,
a little tail waggling out of the corner of his lips.
It was bubble and squeak.
They were kids.
So I kept them in his garden shed
in this glass container and all that
and he looked after them
and he kept them all nice and tidy.
I think it might have been
because he cleaned them out
when the babies were in,
so they made human contact.
I think the babies had made human contact.
And then the gerbils are racist towards humans.
I think they really are.
They don't want that.
Unless they just think humans are delicious.
How did your parents... How did they like explain to you how old were you um young so like single digits so you've got these
pets and they're there and it's like okay this will teach kai and gav a little bit of responsibility
you know in looking after something and then they're just brought with this daunting task the unknown what was going to happen that they now have to explain about death
and cannibalism they should teach people about the postnatal depression where people kill their own
kids all three of those things they should have said don't give us the birds and the bees and the
fucking psychopaths nature's mad innit
that is the dumbest
sentence I've ever said
nature's mad innit
nature's mad innit
do you know what I mean
do you know
do you know what it is
with nature
is I wonder like
how long I would last
in the wilderness
have you ever given
that much thought
you wouldn't last
very long
I don't think I would
because I'm such a city person
like I'm so used to
just going to the shop and just buying whatever i want if i was thrown into
a forest i reckon i'd make it two days which is decent i don't know without wi-fi you don't get
data i don't get no i mean with that i mean i'm just thrown there i've still got my clothes i've
still got a few clothes and i'm just walking around the forest don't don't get
me wrong i don't think i'm gonna be killing any animals and catching it and eating it
but i reckon i'd be able to i reckon i'd i'd climb a tree and like scout some water i think i'll get
that far and that's it you'd scout some water probably tell us how you'd scout your water
i'd climb up a tree and I'd look for where it looks wet fuck off
yeah
that's what you would do
you're going to
climb up a tree
and look around
for moisture
yeah
you wouldn't like
I don't know
head downhill
why would I head
downhill
because that's where
the water would go
but what if the
hill's really big
going up a tree's
not going to
make it smaller
no but then
I'd say I walk
up a tree
and the tree's up
on a hill
and then I've got
like a whole view
around the place
and I'm like cool
well I know what part
of the hill to go down now
so I'll go down
that part of the hill
and I'll find myself
some water
I'm not enjoying
this hypothetical at all
because like
what if the trees
are just like in a forest
you've got to get up the tree
and just see a bunch more trees
and like you know
the same level
because you know
when was the last time
you claimed a tree this right this morning when you claimed
that tree right climb the tree my favorite my favorite activity yeah do you remember you sent
me up that tree because i had to clean it did a squirrel run off with a fidget spinner
so if you claim a tree you never claimed to the top of the tree you know that right you
claim up a tree and you're on the thickness of the branches and you can like claim out on the
branches a bit until they start to bow right but above you is another leg several feet of branches
and leaves yet you don't claim to the top of it you never get to the top of the tree and stand on
it and just wear hands on your hips glance around the vista, you get up, you claim in the tree.
Like you claim up and into it.
You're in the core.
Yeah, you're not going to get on top of it with that attitude, are you?
So you're not going to look around and just go,
I was hoping I'd see a water source, but I've just got a bunch of leaves.
Look, I'm not Bear Grylls and I've never pretended to be okay. You're not very Grylls.
I'm not Bear Grylls.
You're not very Grylls.
Oh, very, oh.
Right. We've discussed that was good we've discussed
that bear doesn't need to be another word um yeah one ray mays yeah yeah he's the other he's the
other guy yes guy was he i don't know is that andy mcnabb i don't know we're just saying names we've
heard of we've never we've never read any of that work we're just aware of them um so yeah i wanted
to play this game once
when I was younger and I worked at the sports centre
we used to do loads of activities
we'd do Ironman competitions
and we'd do a coast to coast in 48 hours
where you start at Whitehaven and end up in Tynemouth
and we were always organising fucking cool shit
and we were always tied with the idea of organising this
but we never did
it's where we'd get a bunch of competitors
say 6 or 7 people that work at the sports centre,
get dropped off at different points,
similar location but different points in a van at midnight,
and you've got a phone on you
that you can only turn on at midnight the next night,
and you've got some minimum provisions,
and you've got to get as far away from the centre point
as you possibly can
so that when they ring you at midnight the next night,
you're the furthest away.
That would be a belt of competition, wouldn't it?
No, that sounds horrible.
But just play Fortnite.
How are you going to do that?
You've got PS4 for these things now.
It doesn't need to be like that.
There's a lot of Fortnite right now.
Tell the listeners about Fortnite, but pitch it.
Get a sponsorship deal.
So basically, shout out to Fortnite.
If you've ever seen the film battle royale
it's essentially oh now i've got to explain battle royale hunger games yeah it's kind of
hunger games in a every 100 players are dropped into this thing and it's all online by this thing
he means an island uh yeah one of those and um you all you it doesn't matter how many kills you
get or anything it's about being the last person alive.
Yeah.
So Biden, look at any kills, right?
100 people dropped into an island.
So you fly over an island.
You choose when you jump out.
You pick the spot.
It's a massive map as well.
It's a big map.
So there's 100 online players.
And they are there with no weapons.
But then you can collect weapons once you land.
You can find weapons.
Go to a house.
It's very much a meritocracy in that everyone's dropped in to...
Everyone starts out with the same stuff, sorry.
And you're all dropped into one place and you can find chests.
And you're never going to find the same weapon in the same chest every time.
It's completely random.
And the map keeps shrinking because a storm comes.
So it forces everyone to have to go into each other.
So you're playing and then it'll go one minute until the storm comes in.
And then in that minute,
you've got to get within the circle.
So if there's a hundred people
and all of them are surviving at this point,
they start getting pressed in together
until the population density is quite high
and they've all collected weapons at this point,
start killing each other.
And it's last man's standard.
Yeah, and me, Matty and Sloss won a game.
I say me, Matty and Sloss.
Me and Matty won a game.
Oh, shots fired.
And I swear to God, I screamed the house down at like 11 at night.
Like just proper celebrating.
You know, it was a celebration.
Like your team had just equalized in like the 75th minute.
So you're like, oh, we can still go on.
It was that level of just screaming the place down.
Yeah, the joy.
Because some people
don't into computer games no it's strange and i i'll give me my mom my mom had a turn on there
you might have seen on my instagram story i gave my mom a turn of call of duty and um it was just
alien to her like she couldn't understand the movement of it and everything like how does this
not appeal to you that might not be it for her but i remember my dad got into the impossible game
when i had an xbox 360 i bought a game called the impossible game which is where you're a square and you have to keep bouncing
over objects and my dad got addicted to it yeah he doesn't play video games and he was there calling
he was like your little triangle cunt and like yeah so maybe with me mom i give her i didn't give
her a get a gateway drug i give her like a really fucking technical game because there's a lot going
on right you've got like yeah with anything like fortnite a call of duty you've got your two two sticks you've got
your d-pad uh you've got your buttons your four buttons you've got your triggers four triggers
you've got like an options button for the map you've got the thing touch pad in the middle
that's a lot of shit going on that's like a lost comment but it's like 16 plus things
and you've got to coordinate them with six digits on your hand it's it's a lot happening now if i
just give my mom like say spyro the dragon or crash bandicoot where it's like jump and smash yeah
this thing then she could ease in and then start like moving up games where the controls are a
little bit more complex it's weird how there's a generation of people now that is the technology
thing where we've started with like i've always been playing video games since i can remember
so i just instinctively if you hand me the controller i'll probably struggle on pc for a bit but i'd
be able to learn it with enough you know if you gave me a few days i'd be able to learn it i'd
instinctively pick it up because you've got a film you've got a foundation in gaming yeah so
there sounds like i did like a really bad course yeah gfbq you didn't get you didn't get very good gcse so you put it on like a b-tech
yeah and uh so i'll be but there's and it's the same now with the generation whatever one's below
me i don't know i don't know with ipads and stuff like that they're now using that in school which
is what people get weird about it but i think that's brilliant because they're getting the introduction to technology at that age technology is only going to advance so it's
good now that if you were born at that point where the technology was just a tv remote there was just
if you knew how to use the tv remote in your household you were seen like bill gates yeah
but if you set the video yeah set the video for your granddad
set the video
to record
you won't know
about this right
but set the video
to record
was like
it's very specific
like there was a code
that come with the radio
times with the listings
that you could type in
right that's advanced
or you could put on
starts at midnight
ends at fucking
11.45
you always make it
start two minutes
beforehand
and after
all that shit right
and you set the video now would be so basic but at the time like blew the mains of the elder
generation right that makes sense because i remember one time my dad showed me the steven
spielberg film jewel that he had recorded this was on vcr back in 1980 right like 1984 or something
it was on channel four one night and uh just after the film had obviously been on,
it was then like the news from that time.
So it was just,
I was just there watching the news.
And my dad was like,
oh, the news from 1984.
And I was watching it and it's like,
Britain has gone back and invaded the Falkland Islands.
Yeah, it's all mind-blowing.
I would be better going back
and watching old episodes of the news.
You've got YouTube now. I may catch up. I might start from episode one. I would be better going back and watching old episodes of the news. You've got YouTube now.
I might catch up.
I might start from episode one.
I'll read the book.
Don't you dare.
What would be the book equivalent of news?
Just like a scroll, wouldn't it?
What are you talking about?
History books, you numbly.
Oh, yeah.
As soon as it's not news, it's history.
It's just history books.
What constitutes as news?
At the minute
It fucks me off actually
There's like
There's probably so much shit going on
And then I turn on
And it's on about like
The movement in schools
And there's like
Fucking some Olympian in a school
They talk them through
This movement class
Like fucking do your special move
And put the knees up
And I'm watching this
Like where there's this new
Like fucking
Initiative in a school
To get kids active
And get them moving And I'm like This thing I don't want to absorb this i'm not going to spend that much time
in my day absorbing the news like i want to spend like fucking 20 minutes or less right just give me
the fucking key things that are happening in the world the big things i don't know bbc thinks i
need to know about movement in schools yeah but that seems to constitute the news it's i don't
know i think i get most of my news now,
I don't know if it's about it,
from social media.
I do get so much of it.
I can tell you about a story
and know nothing about the story,
but still know what the story's about.
So this is the thing, right?
It used to be like knowledge is power, right?
You get knowledge, you're informed.
That was it.
You need to get knowledge as classified information.
But now there's so much knowledge going around
and some of it's bullshit,
especially now when it comes to dietary stuff
and what's good for you and your health and everything.
There's so much information that contradicts itself out there
that there's actually too much knowledge.
You don't know what you have to...
The key now is to filter the knowledge
and find good sources and find good information.
I find never to Google with this thing,
and I used to do this all the time,
was like, Google, what gym exercise I need to do to get abs,
and you'll get a video where someone will be there going,
what you need to do is pump these weights and do this, that, that.
And what they really should be saying is,
oh, I'll just take loads of steroids
and then upload a video to a YouTube channel, is what i did but um what was i saying if you if you
google something like that like dietary requirements or anything i find you're going to get too much
information on the board you're going to get one article telling you this one article doing that
and then it just becomes you go i'm never going to do any of these things because there's too much contradiction information yeah
and it it is a fact like you'll read one thing like tim ferris and his four-hour body he'll tell
you to take some egg yolks out you know that people say that there's essential fats and egg
yolk and yeah you start looking into stuff there but the way i've found to do it is is go with
results uh there's a there's a a dude who I'm friends with called Adrian
who does bodybuilding.
He just randomly just went,
one day I'm going to put my mind to bodybuilding,
and he fucking achieved at it and won medals and shit.
You see the pictures of him.
He's in ridiculous shape.
And I'm like, I would take advice off of that dude
ahead of any of these books and scholars and authors
because he's figured it out
he's he's he's tested it on his own body and he's found out what works and then i chatted to him
and got information off him and he equipped me with stuff that worked so when i got into shape
like properly in the summer last year it was off someone that had results that is the best way to
do it is to find one of your friends who's getting results or someone doing that and just go to them hey what's working with you because then if something i always find i always will
get something wrong like i'm not i'm that person and when i get something wrong i usually just give
up because i go oh i'm never going to understand it and it works that people just have to really
dumb it down for me that's what i always find with things like i have to have it explained on
the most basic of levels and then when someone explains it to me on the most basic of levels I go oh I can oh right I
just need to actually properly do this instead of that and then I'll get a bit more I love like
when you when you get a little bit of armchair science off people that don't really know but
they've heard something in the past and on and this is what I'm sorry to be done for throwing
under the bus for this one but one time that's that's not like this podcast a few years ago
a few years ago my dad told us that it's all right to have a kebab if you have a fizzy drink if I thought I'm under the bus with this one. But one time... That's not like this podcast.
A few years ago,
my dad told us that it's all right to have a kebab if you have a fizzy drink after it,
because it breaks it down.
What?
It's like the fucking fizzy pops
kind of break down the grease from the kebab.
I mean, I'm sure my dad has changed his opinion on that now,
but at the time,
he just passed it on as such a smart bit of like,
oh, well, that's fine.
You know, just like,
I don't think you're a scientist.
Yeah. It probably helps break it down in your mouth. You do. And we do go on about it a lot of times. smart but it's like oh well that's fine you know just like i don't think you're a scientist yeah
it probably probably helps break it down in your mouth you do and we do go on about it a lot of
times my favorite with martial arts and things is when someone says oh what you want to do is land
a punch on the such and such an area and and that will no one can survive that that's an instant
knockout and you're like pressure points your pressure points are the dim mock technique that
makes the heart explode and it is some of them YouTube videos
are fucking hilarious
though when it's like
if people
even if you're not into
martial arts or anything
look up
just videos
of
people
practicing
like
there's like a great channel
called Bullshido and stuff
and it is people
practicing that
like Kamiyami
and stuff like that
and there's a great one
where they've convinced
this woman she can do it
so this bloke just runs at her
and she Kamiyami
does this like fake
and the bloke just
wipes her out
but then knows
he's wiped her out
so pretends to be injured
from the Kamiyami
oh really
and it's all theatre
isn't it
like fucking
like rap chat videos
and shit
but speaking of UFC
you've just done
not the voice of
but you've
wrote lanes
for the computer game.
So to promote UFC 3,
Game Less Coming Out.
EA Sports looking for sponsorship on the podcast.
Damn straight.
And we're sponsoring a lot of things.
Fortnite,
Bose headphones.
We're aiming high.
Bose is fort,
Bose headphones.
I was listening to Intelligence Squared podcast.
I don't know it.
It's good actually.
I mean,
I listened to one episode
because the author
of the book
I've just read,
Yuval Noah Harari
was a guest
on the podcast
so I'm listening to him
and then I cut to do an advert
and they were saying
and then a package arrived
and it was from Bose
and it was from Bose Headphones
and so they said
they'd like to sponsor us
so Bose Headphones
are fucking sponsoring podcasts
willy nilly on a whim
and here's me just fucking plugging away for free
unbelievable
sort your shit out Bose
do you think we could get everyone to just tweet Bose
and just say come on guys
what do you think we're going to get out of it
because we've already got the headphones
I actually I just could do with a new couple of pads for me
because they're getting a little bit worn
so if Bose are listening I don't want a full set of headphones just a new couple of pads for me, yes, because they're getting a little bit worn. So if both are listening, just...
I didn't want a full set of headphones,
just a couple of extra parts.
Just to give them a service.
Do you know what?
Just send us a gift card for, like, WH Smith or something,
just something to let us know you're listening.
Nando's Black Card or something.
So anyway, enough about both.
So, yeah, I was...
I got asked to go into thet sport office to write trash talk
for people they basically what the setup of the day was was people are going into the octagon to
play the new fc the new fc yeah the new ufc game um and beforehand they'd be doing trash talks
against each other so i was there to kind of write trash talks for them with a couple of british
painters right so anyone in the
north was Darren Till
and Jimmy Manua
and what happened
the other day was
I didn't
they didn't really
tell me but I had
to just keep writing
lines about Jimmy
Manua because
people kept dropping
out so he was just
there
kept standing in for
people and he was
wicked like he's
really like
perfect really good
good talk talk good delivery
yeah so is Darren Till
yeah
Scots are Darren Till
isn't he
yeah
so his trash talk
would have been great
cheeky accent
anyway
so he was like
really funny with it
but on one of the things
Sportbible come in
and just go to me
hey we're just going
to record you
sat there with
Akin Fenua
Antonio from West Ham and Eric Lamella the right mid from Tottenham so they had footballers in
so they had footballers in now I had previously were they like playing against each other while
they were trash talking so I just had to teach them how to trash talk so there's a room with
an octagon uh where you go in there and you play the UFC game then there's a separate media room
for the trash talking that was set up like a UFC conference room then there was my room which was a really long table and really brightly lit and I
was just sat there welcoming people in and if people would come into my room first and be like
oh what the hell is going on here yeah and I'll just have to tell them like give them some roast
jokes and whatnot so Eric Lamella and Akinfenwatonio there now if you don't know aki fenway
he's one of the most charismatic football like he's just big boisterous big personality he doesn't
need me there antonio doesn't need me there but what they don't tell me about eric lamella is he
doesn't speak very good english so i'm sat there and those two are bantering back neither do you
oh the dream team so i'm sat there with these jokes that were originally for Wilfred Zaha and Yannick Balassi.
So I sort of revamp him a little bit, hand them to Lamella.
And I'm like, yeah, just sort of say that one.
And he goes, no, no, this is too long for me.
So he didn't have enough grasp of the English language.
So he was a bad bookend, essentially, the one that is facing his name on it.
But he wasn't capable.
Yeah, and he was a nice enough guy. But I'm just sort of sat there going, oh, essentially, the one with his face and his name on it, but he wasn't capable of the task at hand. Yeah, and he was a nice enough guy.
But I'm just sort of sat there going,
oh, no, mate.
So there's going to be a video out of me just sort of sat there
as these lot are bantering back and forth,
but Eric LeBel is just saying things in Spanish.
Is he?
Are they going to just subtitle him?
I've no idea.
Are they going to adapt and work around it?
Are you going to be in the video?
I don't know.
Were they like writing lines and feeding them and giving them? It was such a hectic day. they're going to adapt and work around it. Are you going to be in the video? I don't know. So you were there like,
rating lanes and feeding them and giving them...
It was such a hectic day.
It was really, really, really hectic.
And it got to the point where
people were coming in and going,
some of the people,
oh my God, man,
I can say this now that it's going out, whatever.
I have met the new...
There was two lads
who really got it
from this football team
so these football teams
were coming
but they're not really
football teams
I'll say this
straight up
if you are not
a footballer
if you just record
your football matches
and put them on YouTube
and there's people
out there who do this
every industry
every industry man
you'll have people
saying that they're models
and there's just no
creepy dude with a garage
and a camera
people will have
their name on
Facebook
they get hundreds
of thousands of
views
and all they're
doing is playing
they're like
we'll be playing
football
Lloyd Griffith
the great Lloyd
Griffith
organised a
football match
soccer AM
and stage fame
yeah he's a
great guy
he organised a
football match
against one of
these football teams
and we lost like 25-1.
They're decent.
Yeah.
But so are people down the park.
Yeah.
You can't just start recording yourself
and be like,
yeah, I'm a top bowler.
No, that's not how it works.
Yeah.
Not when I've got Eric Lamella,
Antonio and Akin Fenwar sent to me,
sent in to do this.
They're footballers.
Not you because you've just gone,
oh, I took a picture
of me scoring a free kick
one time
against some lads
who didn't really know
how to play football
yeah
fucking
they've just got a
5-a-side team
with a cookie name
oh man
I did not know
that that was
you see when people
moan about
millennial career paths
that is what
that is when I go
oh okay
my grandad's generation
fought in a war
and now there's people
out there who are just like
oh we're just going to
film ourselves
playing football
and now I'm a top bowler
that's what your grandad
went to war for Elliot
so that we could
make video logs
and fucking podcasts
I wish we lost
I wish this podcast
was in German
oh god imagine me
trying to do this
in German
with this accent
und sprechen die Deutsch
I'm not Cockney
you are fucking Cockney
no
we've had this argument
am I Geordie
do you think I'm Geordie
because I'm technically not
I'm technically Northumbrian
I should roll me R's
and whack me
Dürger und Punt
because I'm a Pityaka Northumbrian but I should roll me Oz and wear me derg around the pond because I'm a pit yacker,
Northumbrian,
but still,
like,
people hear Geordie,
right?
Yeah,
you saw it,
yeah.
Like,
my nearest fucking
top flight football team
is in Newcastle.
My nearest shops
are in Newcastle.
I mean,
there's shops in Blythe as well,
but,
I mean,
come on.
You're not going to do
a Christmas shop in there,
are you?
You're not going to do your weekly shop there. You're not going to do a Christmas shop in there are you you're not going to do
your weekly shop there
you're not going to do
your clothes shop
otherwise you go on a night out
and every cunt's wearing
the same gear
that's what it was like
you know actually
we had two shops in Blyth
we had Paljoy
and Topshop
you had a Topshop
no sorry
Burton's
so there was
Burton's and Paljoy
I'm not sure
what the range is now
because I haven't spent
much time there
but it was like
when I was
on my first going out drinking like 16, 17 and shit and you would go out in Paljoe, I'm not sure what the range is now because I haven't spent much time there, but it was like when I was,
on my first going out drinking like 16,
17 and shit,
and you would go out
and there would always
be four or five people
wearing the exact same
clubber.
That was sort of
similar to my area,
but that's because
there was a style.
Yeah.
That was just wear
a tracksuit
and a body warmer.
Is that how it was?
That's how it was.
Tracksuit for the night out.
Yeah.
Well, night out
was more just going to the pub
You wouldn't get into the wonderful Tiger Tiger
So yeah what I'm saying is
To you I'm a Geordie right
Even though I'm technically not
But to me you're Cockney
I'm okay with being called a Cockney
It's fine
It's just when someone will eventually go
Why do you go on stage and pretend to be Cockney
And I go I'm not Cockney And in a go on stage and pretend to be Cockney and I go
I'm not Cockney
and in a review one time
I got called
the Cockney kid
from Croydon
and that doesn't make
any sense
that doesn't make
any sense whatsoever
because that's funny
when I'm in Newcastle
I feel like
when I'm on stage
I can't say I'm from Newcastle
because I think they'd tell
really
yeah I would like
but if I'm in London
I'll just say I'm from Newcastle
because it's like
it's heard of it
they'll know Blythe
as a point of reference.
I mean,
like,
often I mention Blythe.
Like,
sometimes I do,
but like,
only if I'm going to do stuff
about my hometown.
And a lot of people
have heard of it
because of non-league football.
Yeah,
Blythe Spartans.
But not much else.
Still more of a football team
than those YouTuber guys
by a huge distance.
Absolutely.
By some,
by like,
to Saturn level of distance. Saturn's a far planet isn't it saturn yeah i think all planets are far lakes no but if i was like to the moon
moon's not a planet it's a moon see smartness oh mate i don't even need an injection like you're
digging your own hole it's wonderful uh you know they all have the planets it's easy to remember you've just got to remember them some all right i'm gonna
go mercury closest if it's from the sun yeah if we do actually circle the sun yeah because science
has lied to us before by the way i was joking there i know i'm not smart enough to get away
with them kind of jokes yeah uh you got mercury um there we go
mercury venus earth mars is that right you're asking the wrong person saturn
uranus jupiter no this is near the end uranus is near the end i forgot a g um are we why let's
say let's say let's say people are getting furious now do you know that there's people
listening good now you know how? There's people listening.
Now you know how I feel when I have to sit there
and watch your tweets come in
about how much length of time it's been
since someone had a bowl of Cheerios
and I got laid or something.
Right, okay.
Let's get off planets.
But on that, you know, when you said there,
I'm so stupid that I can't get away with
not explaining that that was a joke.
I put an Instagram story up of me biting the engagement ring off Natalie's
finger and pretending to swallow it right and Danny the M does saying kill
yourself did he think you actually did it no no you just thought I was being
like fucking them like soppy we had marriage marriage like he just thought
I was being a gimp I think he's kind of a muggle, right? He'd just kill yourself.
He just hated the tweet.
I sucked my fucking fiance's finger on a tweet, right?
Yeah, I thought it was a bit weird.
Yeah, but I was munted.
I was off my fucking...
Oh, that makes it better.
I was off my fucking pie.
I was back in Newcastle with the boys.
No, you were in Blythe.
That's true.
This is true.
So I fucking bit the engagement ring of Natalie
and pretended to swallow it
and then I actually dropped it on the floor
and finally got it out of my hand.
Oh, God.
You dropped it on the floor and gave it back.
Romance 101 with Kyle Humphries, ladies and gentlemen.
I sucked my fiancée's engagement ring off her finger
and then spat it on the floor
but had the common decency.
I bent down and picked it up myself and gave it to her.
Oh, I had to get on the road with Geron, actually,
because they kind of fell down the back of one of them four back seats.
And then someone kicked it.
And then someone pretended it was theirs.
And I was standing off with a fucking big bloke.
So I posted that.
Danny fucking hated it.
And rightly so.
It was fucking kind of lame and weird and creepy.
Anyway, kill yourself.
And I just went, oh, my God. I wanted to kill myself when i had a rummage through me shit for it this morning and then
danny responded saying no question mark and i was like well no but it's not beyond you guys but like
like part of us were just like fucking mug how did he feel for that like part of me wanted to
like slag him for like like yegs and then i was just saying
oh my god this is a lot that you thought that that could happen and he was like well if that
happened to anyone it would happen to you and it's the kind of thing that well what the figure
is with you is you do these disgusting things and then you immediately text the group about what
you've just done because you go oh if i just snitch on myself it means no one else can ever snitch on me so it's technically me
owning it uh but anyway i didn't i didn't swallow an engagement ring shit no but it's fucking
i want to be you can shoot yourself off having a wank i like it's so it's not beyond you
like so it's not beyond you
aye
that was such a defeated aye
it is defeated
because you know what
this was fun
having this type of
fucking like life
when I was
shitting yourself
when you were wanking
you know when I was your age
you know you'd just been
a feckless youth
fucking 34 year old man
yeah but
I'm telling you what
I couldn't tell you
the last time I shit myself
you couldn't tell us
the last time you got laid, you fucking muggs.
Right, Muggle Corner.
We are going to put some people in Muggle Corner.
I just want to do a shout out to Eric and Daniel, wonderful podcast last week.
Sounded like Daniel was recording that podcast down a phone in a prison, like a rapper.
Yeah, I just sank through the glass. Daniel was recording that podcast down a phone in a prison like a rapper yeah
I just sank through the glass
Eric with his fucking hand
pressed against the screen
talking into the phone
yeah
it did sound like
he fucking
it sounded like
Danny was
because Eric's sound
was fine wasn't it
yeah it was fine
it sounded like
Eric was shouting it down
he don't know which one
well
wishing he'd fucking
speak into the mic
so
yeah good podcast
but I got so frustrated
talking about people
shouting at the
shouting at the podcast
when we couldn't get
the planets in the
correct order
dweebs
when Eric wouldn't
let that thing
in Muggle Corner
the thing that
Daniel suggested
to put in Muggle Corner
was somebody had put
a poster
saying take what you need
and then there was tear off strips saying a hug from company.
Oh, yeah.
That is so muggle.
And I don't know.
Fair play to Elliot if he was baiting Daniel.
Elliot?
I wasn't.
Eric, sorry.
Eric.
Blaming me for everything.
Fair play to Eric if he was just baiting Daniel
because it is fun
whining Daniel up
that's my favourite thing in the world
which brings me back
to what you wanted to call me
at the beginning of this podcast
I want to put my name forward
and I hope you agree
on the basis that
it will really piss off Daniel
Elliot bad boy
Muay Thai fighter still
got a ring to it
it's great isn't it
it sounds wonderful
whenever we're on the podcast
the same way
Muggins and Elliot
bad boy
Muay Thai fighter
still
yeah
just Muggle and
bad boy Muay Thai
fighter
and the fans will be
like oh yeah
bad boy Muay Thai
fighter
wonderful
think I'm going to
stick to milk
nah
I mean it's similar
Muggins and milk
Muggins and
Muggins and Elliot
bad boy
oh fuck it
so Eric maybe he was
just teasing danny but like he should have then just went ah put it in muggle corner yeah this
is a serious thing right it's very serious this is why this is this is the thing you mentioned it
before he was like i've i've wrote a muggle corner which is actually a muggle corner not like the
muggles buy jeans yeah that's what you said he said to me earlier. That's totally right. Like, what name fucking Danny and Gareth put in?
Running.
Like, oh, I don't like running, ergo, running is muggly.
Like, I didn't let you get in.
I didn't let you last week get in.
For making the wrong coffee for someone. For making the wrong coffee for someone and then it being their fault.
Which today, I had to stand over and watch Kai as he made my coffee and then my cup of tea.
And you nailed it. And thank you very much, Kai.
And you deserved it.
You've done a lot of chores.
At least I could do.
So it didn't go in Muggle Corner to tear off strips,
because whatever context, whether you're doing it as like,
oh, look how Muggly we're being.
People are going to think we're Muggles.
Like we're saying, even second wave of Muggly is Muggly, right?
So yeah, that was annoying.
No, I know what you mean.
It's annoying that that's not in muggle.
Well, that's a definition of muggly.
Yeah.
That's a good example.
That's a perfect example.
You know, if there's people in the podcast
that may be listening now for the first time,
and I mean, we do terrible at giving everything context
and it's like,
we should have done a little intro
at the beginning
hi this is
Kai Humphries
and Elliot Steele
because I do a podcast
Kai Humphries
and Elliot
so yeah
I should do an intro
and say it's like
an on the road podcast
where we're touring
comedians
and then
when we're not touring
together
we'll get guests on
like yourself
I should have given
that at the beginning
but I didn't
they will have just
heard me say
I wish we'd lost
the war to Nazi Germany
and give it a context if anyone could just sound clip that and this pitch at that at the beginning but I didn't. They will have just heard me say I wish we'd lost the war to Nazi Germany in the context.
If anyone could just
sound clip that
and there's pictures
of Elliot with his hair
like a little bit
Hitler-y
so just whack a tash on him
and put the sound over there.
a little bit of a Hitler haircut.
So yeah,
muggles are people who
the go-to one is always
love, laugh, live.
Yeah.
Right?
I don't always cook with what is it
uh i sometimes cook with wine sometimes i even put in the food you don't have to be crazy to
work here but it helps like those sort of muggles are you working hard you're hardly working oh
window cleaner you missed a bit oh right so these are like the muggly behavior patterns of muggles
and even if you say it kind of ironically,
you're still being a muggle,
but you're being a self-aware.
So what we're going to do is we're going to suggest some muggly things.
We're going to debate whether it goes in the corner
and we're going to come up with a conclusion.
And then if you fall into that category,
you're going to spend 30 seconds in the corner.
I think I've got my best one ever.
How then?
Muggles talk about Bitcoin.
Oh, it's happening a lot.
Right.
This is a conversation I had with Milo McCabe
within 20 seconds of meeting him the other week.
He went,
I just can't see how it will possibly go wrong.
That's how every economic crash has ever happened,
you stupid fuck.
Everything ever,
the housing crash of 08.
Oh, let's all get houses
when we're earning 10 grand a year.
And why not take out a second mortgage and get another house and another house?
This is how these things happen.
Stop it.
This is how everything crashes because everyone jumps on board.
And then the idiots get involved.
And they just go, oh, what I'm going to do is I'm going to take out a £100,000 loan.
I'm going to take out a £1,000 loan from wonga.com.
And I'm just going to invest it i'm going to take out a hundred thousand pound loan i'm going to take out a thousand pound loan from wonga.com and i'm just going to invest it all in bitcoin and then tomorrow
china will go oh hey by the way we've made bitcoin illegal over here and then you're all fucked and
another housing crash and then someone comes along and we go hey we've got cryptocurrency and someone
comes along and we've got oh we've got like fucking no seriously get into it it's seriously
addictive and you've just got to watch the markets this is not wolf of wall street you sit at home
with your two kids fucking helping them draw in the color of your you wear a cravat and pencil
on a mustache you're not gonna be all of you not just milo that's what all of you do yeah
and then yeah you gotta love him and i mean he's trying to help us maybe if you play it right i
don't know it sounds to me like this is what happens I might even be stepping
briefly into Muggle Corner
to discuss it
right
but
people start selling it
because it's at a high price
right
and then it starts going down
and going down
and going down
and everyone's selling it
and then people start buying it
because it's a low price
and then this pendulum
just fucking swings
and it's up and down
but
is anyone really benefiting
are people just getting
on and off the fucking train
at different stations
and are they actually gonna actually gonna well the best way
to do it would just be for a day at once make yourself 14 quid and walk away if you just keep
doing that reinvention eventually you're just gonna get caught out right yeah it's uh i i have
no idea like because i just switch off when people start telling me about it now because i don't want
to hear about it i'm not going to invest in bitcoin so stop telling me about it that and that's what comes annoying and then people start going oh no
you don't want to invest in bitcoin what you want to invest is in ripple and then when you want to
invest is in x7rd but you have to buy a crypto transfer and it's good right this already sounds
like a lot of admin it sounds like i need an enigma machine and then i don't want to my favorite
thing about my i i've got money i'm owed from
invoices and the invoices have been difficult and i've just gone do you know what i'll just be poor
it's difficult i'll just be poor i can't sit there and fill that in i can't i don't even know what
planets like the nearest one to us i think it's mars do you know i mean i i'm the exact person
who should not be getting on the stock you. Earlier you thought that was the moon.
I know the moon isn't a planet.
I know it's just like rock that we've given a name by us.
That's what it is, isn't it?
Sure.
But you see those kind of statements.
Imagine someone like me gets on the fucking Bitcoin market and then I'm trying to tell people to get on it.
I'm self-aware stupid.
I'm aware I'm stupid. So I try and limit my stupidity to tell people to get on it. There's people, I'm self-aware stupid. I'm aware I'm stupid.
So I try and limit my stupidity to only myself.
And the podcast.
And a few people I love around me.
You just travel all into this podcast.
Yeah, I just let it affect the people I love around me.
You know?
Let it ruin their lives.
I don't need to ruin the whole stock market.
Because I fucking jump on Bitcoin.
And then just suddenly the next day it's all gone.
And then everyone's at war
with each other
it's so weird isn't it
because like
even when your mates
tell you they're getting
into Bitcoin
you should be rooting for them
you should be like
oh my god
I hope it turns so bad
oh man
I hope the coin
has to borrow money
just so I can see it in the air
but as well, you know...
Just as they ask, start unzipping your flies.
I suck a dick.
I got these cheeseburgers, man.
Got any Bitcoin, dude?
You got any Bitcoin?
Oh, man, fuck.
So, yeah, like yeah you know what
really fucking
it kind of bugs me
a little bit
when everyone's trying
to use
like cheat codes
to get rich
like people are trying
to like
you know
putting the lottery on
it's a fucking nice idea
that you may get your millions
but you haven't earned
your millions
and I may be
sounding like a muggle here
you've got to claim
your weight at the top
but I always think
it's a nice game
to try and
like engineer
it definitely is and I've always thought with the lottery i've always thought
there is probably an amount and i don't know what it is that is perfect to win and anything over
that amount is life ruining like if you won a hundred million your life would the things you
do would get better but i don't think who the people that would suddenly
be around you you wouldn't be able to trust it is this person just hanging out with me for money now
what's going you know you're that that would start dwelling on your mind yeah stanley would always be
like two feet away from you oh my god yeah just imagine him that still you just won the lottery
you could afford a round of jager bombs. Oh, God.
No, I don't know.
Like, with money, I feel like I've been poor.
Like, I've been fucking piss poor before.
I've been in crippling debt.
And I've had a slow claim into my 30s where I haven't had kids,
so I haven't had the drain of children.
I've got myself...
That's where most people go wrong.
I found myself in this slow claim that I feel like i've got a handle on it now i don't think like if i
ended up with a million pound i don't think that would ruin my life because i don't know a million
but what i was saying about the kids thing is i think there's so many people who just have a kid
and like have no idea that that's going to cost like so much money well you know raise a human
joe rogan quote i'm sure it was on a joe rogan podcast where he said uh this is before he had
his kid he went i feel like i'm smarter than most people that have kids and i've got more money than
most people that have kids but i don't feel like i'm smart enough or rich enough to have a kid
and i just thought it resonated with us yeah that's
if I found out
I had ever got someone pregnant
which ain't going to be happening
anytime soon
evidently after the last few months
oh man it would be amazing
if a girl came up to me
and went
hey I'm three months pregnant
with your baby
I'd be like
ah bullshit
but the
even if she'd come up
and said she was nine months pregnant
no
then no
then it would be trouble.
But imagine if I just had a kid,
the idiot that I'd be raising at the moment,
and I ain't got the money to have a kid.
But that's not always the case,
because fucking your dad's really smart.
Your dad's probably...
He was just a terrible parent.
Oh, beautiful.
Beautiful. So so time is ticking
so let's put
let's put people
that are fucking
the bitcoin
bitcoinism
is the new veganism
like people are like
it's to show off
about how much
oh I've made 300
in the last week
and it's
but they haven't
because it's still in there
and they put it back in there
and it's like
I don't know
if any of them
are going to see
fucking rewards
I think
I think like
there's people who
like all of these things
from whatever
basically
I've seen the film
The Big Short
so I know everything
about the economy
of course you do
right
and whatever I see
in the economy
is there is
I've always
I'm done
but I've always thought
there's no such thing
as a free lunch
like there's never never has a get rich scheme worked unless you've got out quick enough
and the thing with get rich screams is it's always enticing you in like a ponzi scheme there's always
that little bit extra that you can get and because it drives on a capitalist gain it entices people
who are quite capitalist in that like they just want more and it comes about beating the other
people that's the other part of it so that i see that as like a driving factor for this bitcoin thing is it's
like oh i've made this this is this and then when it all comes crashing down if it does come crashing
down otherwise people are going to look back in this podcast and be like jesus glad i didn't
listen to kyle and elliot and we're the only we're the only two poor cunts on the planet
everyone else is fucking rolling that scrooge McDuck and in Bitcoin so
yes
let's put them in there
right wicked
and I'm going to put in
this is
this is probably something
we're both going to
end up in Muggle Corner for
but when you mock
someone else's music taste
if you mock
like
everybody's music taste is like
tailored to them, they listen to something
that the vibrations work
with their bones right, like they listen
to music that like, whether the words
speak to them, whether the vibe of the music
speaks to them and affects their mood and all
has the mood in a good way, whether it's tied into
their childhood, so a certain song
connected to a certain time in the past
with your grandad or your family or a place you used to go and hold it to or used to play in the car on a road trip.
The music that you listen to is completely tailored to you.
Nobody else can mock it.
Yeah.
And I'll do it.
I'll defend my music taste to people who mock rap music and I'll listen to it when I was a kid because I was a fucking teenage angst.
Yeah.
And I still listen to it now because it reminds me of that time when i was discovering myself and growing as a person i'm totally
in muggle corner for this but i will point out and i'll do it when i'm of that age this is a
thing that people from older generations seem to do more than younger generations because it comes
like hey you you see that new thing that you lot are enjoying and that i don't understand
that's bullshit listen to this thing from back when I was your age
and feeling them feelings.
When you were listening to the Beatles back then,
your granddad was telling you it was boy band.
Listen to boy bands.
Everybody's music taste is tailored to them.
So the minute you start projecting your taste
onto somebody else or mocking their taste,
I think that's when it starts getting muggly.
I would say there is
there is a counter to this
just to play devil's advocate
some music
I feel is muggly
because it's just
played loads in things
and therefore
it just becomes a hit song
that people listen to
yeah
so then the sort of
masses of muggles
gravitate towards this song
like have you ever been
in a nightclub
like I like my DJs
I'm quite
you lot in the group
know when we went out
into Ibifa
I sort of know which DJs are which you know what i mean oh fuck's sake uh hold on hold on
somebody once told me the world was gonna rock the cinema could trigger you off
i like that song is that your generation uh no maybe it's not maybe more daniels yeah
probably more it's everyone's generation that
song so yeah i do know what you're saying right because some music is muggly in the fact that
the force fed it right like the charts sometimes force feed us like the the b-bars and the x-factor
music and the the stuff that's just like junk food music we're no real like it's there's no
right but what i'm saying is like so say out somewhere if i was to with be
with people who knew quite a bit about house music or something it's always to go oh kerry
chandler's on tonight now he's quite a sort of underground house guy uh but kerry chandler's he
yeah yeah more you know so but then say we went to a nightclub and they were just playing there
was a dj there and he's
just playing top 40 stuff it's not really in my that's like not djing you're the person who's
just pressing play so you see when people are djs just press play i've always thought like i think
i've had a rant about that in the past where i was in dc 10 and the guy put his hands up in the
air and everyone went fucking nuts and i was like if a guitarist put his hands up in the air and
the guitar kept on singing you'd be like you're a fraud no but try try with dj and it's all about like there's more
to it yeah there's a lot to it i'm being a muggle in my ignorance yeah but i can completely understand
why because if you just go to a generic nightclub and they're just like hey here's some sean paul
when everyone starts going nuts it that dj has pressed play. He's just faded the song into the other song.
He's not mixing the songs.
Can't mean somebody had to.
You can't just put a Spotify playlist on, can you?
Because it'll be like a second or two delay
in between each one.
Oh, they got crossfade on it.
AI's taking over.
It is.
Don't be worried.
It's fucking brilliant.
I've just read Homo Deus.
It's fucking remarkable.
I really enjoy that AI's taking over.
They're going I get shit done
way better
less mistakes
less deaths
we're gonna be obsolete
it's gonna be like
alright for a bit
when we're just living
in our virtual world
we just slacked off
bitcoin which is
AI money
yeah but it's
I suppose so
but I'm gonna quite enjoy
when like
this is gonna be
a spell
where humans
are just freed up
and some people
are gonna like
it's gonna suffer
when
some ain't making the cut
when you realise like
I'm obsolete
and you feel like
you haven't got a place
in the world and shit like that
but man if
if you could live in a world
where
every
AI stayed out of the way
right
you could just fucking
play on Playstation
read books
fucking sunbathe
fucking do what you want
why can't people accept that
fucking
time is the new money
time is the new rich if you could have if you could have all your time off but just enough
money to live that would be better than being a millionaire that works 80 hours a week yeah
i suppose so if you if you just got your fucking rations and your time off and you're fucking
i'd be balling do you reckon that's like do you ever create like an ai thing that could just do
because we always feel safe in stand-up now oh
we always need humans to do this but what if they just make a robot one day that just knows works
out the formula takes in every bit of stand-up there's ever been on the internet works out what
formula works best this this and it's already happened with uh with music they've done it they've
done it with classical music and they got like real fucking um they got a orchestra to play the
one that the computer had composed and the one that a great composer had composed
and they put the two together and they couldn't tell
which was the human mind and which was the artificial mind.
In fact, more people thought the artificial one was the human
when they submitted their guess.
See, this stuff scares me and what scares me is
I don't know if I should be scared or shouldn't be scared
because I don't know enough about it.
Because whenever I think about robots i think about terminator and terminator like that don't look
like a fun life i've been the terminator no i'd love to be the terminator i'm mad is it but i
wouldn't want to be uh i wouldn't want to be the people who get terminated where's this going you
know i mean like it was all fun and games with Windows Vista in it but
if you're just there
and like Arnold Schwarzenegger
guys
Arnold Schwarzenegger
is chasing you down
and killing you
that's
that's Terminator
so what you're saying
is Muggle
and other people's music
taste
does go in Muggle Corner
yeah
right thanks
I don't even smoke weed anymore
and I still went up in his conversation
you took it there
alright
we're going to put that muggle corner
you knew what you were getting into
when you invited me on this podcast
you were getting a nice
I thought that was going to be an intelligent conversation
about AI taking over
you knew what you were getting and you were getting your plates washed
a couple of other things
because I do all your chores
for you don't I
hey thanks mate
I'm looking at the time as well
we're taking on
what you're going to put in
okay this one
because it happened to me today
on my way here
people who say
it's not my fault
when they work
for the company
that is fucking your day up
that's like a double edged sword
because I sympathise for the people
that are on minimum wage.
I couldn't give a fuck.
No, no, no.
But I also think they should take ownership.
Yeah.
I was at the station
trying to update my Oyster card.
The machine wasn't accepting the money
or anything.
The machine was fucked.
So my train was coming in two minutes
and I said to the guy,
I was like,
hey, mate, could you just let us through
and I'll pay my fare at the other end.
I need to get that train.
And he went,
nah,
you've got to walk around to the shop
and top up your Oyster card.
I was doing the thing going,
well,
this is a train station.
Surely I am able to top it up here.
Like,
can you not go to the desk?
And he went,
we don't do Oyster top up at the desk.
So then I'll just push through the barriers.
I was like,
you're on minimum wage,
you don't give a fuck.
He doesn't care.
You're not going to put your life on the line
to stop me
so he's
if you're going to kill him
he's going to
so he's like
if he can't be bothered
with the
oh I don't know
this isn't my fault
then the minute you walk through
he's not going to go
all of a sudden
I'm a company man
and I'm going to save
the four pound from this
citizens arrest
yeah
like you've already
laid your cards out about how you feel about this situation I'm on my way like you've already laid your cards out
about how you feel
about this situation
I'm on my way
like you're grinding
out the hours
but what's
what's sad about this
right is
you know when
somebody's
somebody's bad at their job
in the work
in a shit job
so you're like
it's almost like
a self-fulfilling prophecy
if you're going to be
bad at that job
because you don't want it
and you don't care for it
you're going to be in it
for a long long time
because you're not
going to claim out of it
what you should always do
and this goes out
to any young listeners
if there's anyone like 17
and you're working at a bar
or you're working like
I don't know
even as a cleaner
just trying to make ends meet
for your university
for your drinking money
for uni
just fucking take over
your job
whether you clock in
you're on there
do the best as you can
and then
they're going to give
they're going to give you more opportunities within them or you're going to they do the best as you can and then they're gonna give they're gonna give
you more opportunities within them or you're gonna end up being too good for that job and
you'll outgrow it and you'll get a better one and that's how the claim that's how the claim works
if you if you're if you're a job because you don't want to be there you're fucking stuck there
if they're by being crap at your job assigning their life over to that job until you get fired
and then you're gonna be i don't it on. If you're going to be,
I don't mind this person
having a shit job,
what I'm saying is
just let me through the barriers.
Just be,
just be,
just let it.
It's like,
it's like ticket inspectors as well.
Ticket inspectors on the train,
I once got arrested on a train
because I was a ticket inspector
but he called me a fucking cunt
because I walked on the first class
and then walked down to standard class.
I don't want to see the problem.
I will. See what you see i i did and um yeah i got arrested at reading station for sort of getting
off the train and arguing with him but i remember that day i was just so i was like fuck those
people who work a ticket into like traffic wardens and things like that. It wouldn't harm you to just be bad at your job.
If you don't like that job, just be a little bit bad at it.
Let the people, you hate your boss, fuck them over with the money.
Right.
So you're switching it now.
You're very self-serving with this.
You want them to be shit at that job when it helps you.
Yeah.
But you want them to be good at that job when it helps you. Yeah. But you want them to be good at their job when it helps you.
Yeah.
What's wrong with that?
I don't like the cut of your jib.
Neither did the police at Reading Station.
No, I think most people should, like, if you're in a job,
you should try and at least make the effort.
I mean, the immediate pattern off of it's not my fault.
So, for example, the other night,
a train was late 40 minutes from Bath.
I got in way later.
That meant it was much more difficult for me to get home.
And when I just sort of said to the ticket inspector,
he went, it's not my fault.
It was like, that's an immediate,
yeah, I know you're not the manager of the train company.
That's why you're walking up and down.
Get Richard Branson on the phone.
That's why you're walking up and down, checking my tickets.
Because if a train manager did that, hell, he is so dedicated to that train company.
To make sure no one's bumping fair play to him.
Or her.
But it's just an immediate pattern off on the customer.
It's an immediate, like, I don't have to deal with this.
And I'm getting out of it.
Do you know, it was really refreshing the other day.
I was on the phone and I was changing over
a crew to go to Liverpool
and the train was due
at, say,
fucking half past
and then it got delayed
at 6.40,
right?
And then there was
a 6.42 train
going to Manchester.
But it ended up,
that one came first
before mine,
so I knew the next train
was my train to Liverpool
but the next train
that arrived
was the train to Manchester
but I just assumed that my train was first so I just got on train was my train Liverpool but the next train that arrived was the train to Manchester but I just assumed
that my train was first
so I just got on that train
right
and then as it pulls away
this is the train to Manchester
Piccadilly calling
and I was like
oh fuck
so I just sat there
and said
what else can you do
I'm going to get to Manchester
and then I've got nowhere to kill
so I'll get to Liverpool
and then
the conductor came
and started getting the tickets
I explained to him
what happened
and he just went
oh we'll just
we'll get your ticket
well I'll write your ticket out now
we'll print it out
on this particular paper
and I'll sign it
and put the code on
and he got us a free ticket
from Manchester to Liverpool
and it made me snap and think
oh you can do that
you can be decent
yeah
he didn't have to slap me
with a fine
he listened to my situation
understood my situation
dealt with my situation with like initiative but that's what charm that's his job that's what he
should be doing because you've you they've delayed the train in my opinion that they've delayed the
train but his train was on time yeah the other train the other train they've messed up by delaying
the train so you've made the mistake yeah if their train had been on time you wouldn't have made the mistake but isn't it weird how like it's the shock that he'd done the nice yeah it shouldn't
be a shock but that's also i find that's a very and somewhere i've always found that's a northern
thing where people were more likely to help you out but even like even though it wasn't over and
i i mean i'm no i was still shocked by it but it wasn't it is yeah people are more polite and more
understandable probably got their own struggle too
right
because the tail wags the dog
but the other people
in the carriage
because they're pretty busy
I was in the vestibule
and it was like
it was pretty packed
like everybody
was just like
that was so nice
right
everyone was so
pleased with that
I was just like
that dude ain't gonna be
a fucking train
he's not gonna be on that train
for long
he's gonna be destined
for a better job
yeah
because he dealt with something dynamically he's got people skills yeah he's got people skills be on that train for long he's going to be destined for a better job because he dealt with something dynamically
he's got people skills
you're going to claim out
so when you see somebody, it's not my fault
you've got a lot more shifts
before you get out of this
I'm not advocating this but
do you know when you see them signs
in a train station and it's like
please don't abuse our staff
it's like your staff don't abuse our staff and it's like i will your staff shouldn't
be getting rude yeah because if i worked in a job like that and i know people are going to be getting
on pissed pissed up and stuff when people have had alcohol in them they change and uh if i worked in
a job like that and people and you're gonna you're gonna be like well i'm the ticket inspector so
what i say goes nah bro not not when someone's had a few Jager bombs.
Yeah.
I just want to say as well,
no disrespect to people's jobs.
No, I'm the ticket inspector.
I've worked in some shitty jobs,
cleaning aeroplanes, fucking toilets,
and I work in factories for low, low money,
working long hours in factory conveyer belts and shit.
And you just say,
I know what it's like to not want to be there but you you you've got to be good at what you're doing otherwise
why are you doing it get over there yeah but just do it i think we're going around circles as well
and we're running a short time so that i'm going to put that in the people that uh so it's not my
fault when they're representative of the company yeah yeah it's yeah It's probably me being a dick more than anything on that one.
Yeah, when I worked at the legislature centre,
we had this thing where,
because it was the council, right?
Like, not that it ever really happened.
If someone come up to me and went,
the streetlights went off.
I was a lifeguard, right?
And if someone come up and went,
the streetlights went off on your street, right?
I had to take a small bit of ownership of that
and find them the right channel
of how to get the streetlights sorted.
So instead of me just going,
you're talking to me for a mug,
I'm a lifeguard.
I'm not going to fix your light.
I've got internal channels
where I can find out the person
that's going to fix the light,
give them the number.
It's mainly just being a nice person.
And maybe it's they were training as well.
Maybe they're not informed of that shit.
I wouldn't have known to do that
about the street light
unless I was spending an hour
getting taught of etiquette within the job. So maybe it's who knows muggles a lot of them um i'm gonna put one
in real quick let's try and cover this uh muggles talk to you when you have headphones on i'm not
sure if i've put this in before i think me and danny have definitely talked about it before
definitely um i told you on the way here about my incident with the drunk guy yeah I had headphones
he asked you for a light
he asked me
because he'd asked a few times
I had my
Bose
headphones
oh please
which you bought
because of this podcast
which I bought
because of
Muggins
and Bad Boy Muay Thai
Fighter
on the road
that's what the podcast
is called
milk
and yeah
he'd asked a few times
and I didn't hear
so then he was sort of in my face
so I went
oh yeah sorry mate
hand him the lighter
and then er
what was it he said
he was like
yeah I was asking you there for ages
I was like alright man
I gave you the lighter
and as he walked off he went
you're a fucking melt
and started yelling at me
I yelled a few things back
you got mugged right off there mate
yeah
got mugged right off
but er people
when people
I had headphones in that's the point I'm making there I he shouldn't have been in my face things back you know right off there mate yeah right off but people when people like i had
headphones in that's the point i'm making there i he shouldn't have been in my face interrupted me
i've had people like asking for directions when i've got my headphones on when there's other
people around and i'm like what made you choose the person with headphones on like because i like
i consider that as like the word like when i go out and i'm going somewhere and i put my headphones
on that is me being alone.
I have chose to be alone, right?
And yes, the streets are busy.
There's other people around.
But as far as I'm going,
I feel like I'm giving a fucking visual signal that I'm not open for interaction.
I'm not an interactive human being right now.
Yet people still, like, come up to me
and try and, like, fucking sell you charity shit on the street.
People come up and try and ask for directions.
No, I know exactly what you mean.
No, you're not.
When I put my music on or a podcast or whatever it is I want to listen to,
I'm doing that because travelling is fucking boring.
And I found a way to alleviate a load of that boredom.
And in alleviating that boredom, one of them doesn't involve a conversation.
I've chose to do this,
and you've come up and interrupted it.
It's like interrupting a conversation.
If you saw two people on the street having a chat,
you wouldn't just run up and suddenly just...
Yeah, and half the time,
I'm listening to a podcast or a book or something like that.
It's not just like I've got fucking music on,
just like fucking vibes going on.
I'm actually engrossed in something
and then all of a sudden
I'm with someone else
but I know one thing
right now
is Daniel is fucking
so annoyed
because I've done this to him
tons on tour
oh no
it's absolutely fine
if you do it to Daniel Sloss
absolutely fine
so yeah
can we put that in
you're a muggle
yeah absolutely
if you don't respect
somebody's privacy
when they're listening
to something
unless it's Daniel Sloss you go in the corner for 30 seconds what I hope happens now is someone who listens You're a muggle. Yeah, absolutely. If you don't respect somebody's privacy when they're listening to something,
unless it's Daniel Sloss,
you go in the corner for 30 seconds. What I hope happens now
is someone who listens to the podcast
has sat across from you on a train one day
and you drop your wallet
while you've got your headphones in
and you get up to leave
and they just go,
can't interrupt him.
Nah.
Because it's busy.
