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?
My mind's telling me cream, but my Muggins, my Muggins is telling me milk.
Even I'm getting sick of these now.
That was fucking diabolical.
That was a fucking good one, wasn't it?
That was awful.
And we are off the block.
Sloss and Humphries on the road.
Main of Sloss.
When's Sloss coming back?
He's been fucking on form
lately
he's been
he's released
three podcasts
in the last two weeks
yeah but
I didn't listen
to the last one
it's got
Heggie
Bart Freeburn
and Cody on
and I haven't
listened to it
because I've got
a long journey
coming up tomorrow
where are you off to
I'm going to let
them keep me company
I'm going to Dublin
ah
Northern Ireland
very nice
it's all Northern Ireland.
It's all Northern Ireland.
You're just going over there and tearing open fucking old scars,
weren't you?
Oh yeah.
Oh,
what did you do again?
You went over and this is one of your bits.
I'm not asking you to fuck the audience,
but this is a bit that's based on something that happened.
Yeah.
I went,
you went,
go on.
Oh,
do you want me to,
I went,
I went over there when I was 17 to do The Empire.
So this was in Belfast, in Northern Ireland?
Yeah, in Belfast.
I've never been to the Republic.
And I went over there when I was 17 and I didn't really understand
what was going on with them.
Yeah, I still don't.
Because I was born
in 96 i think the good friday agreement was signed in 96 or something i think we've done them so it's
best that we don't do a history lesson all right yeah basically i think we got northern ireland in
the transfer market on a loan it come over it got a few goals with us so we got a great on loan to
buy and then um and then i so i went over there when I was 17 years old,
didn't really understand, walked on stage in the Empire,
and I fucking am bombing.
And I did a joke where I mentioned I was from Croydon,
and my opening joke back then was,
oh, hello, my name's Elliot, I'm from Croydon,
don't worry, I survived the riots.
Also got a TV out of it.
So it all worked out.
And they just fucking looked at me.
What do you know about riots?
Yeah.
What a fucking buff I swear.
An armed militia faking the actual fucking army.
Oh yeah, they just looked so unimpressed.
And then someone,
someone came up to me afterwards and went,
you know the last time we heard your accent, it was telling us to put our hands against the wall and i was like oh okay and i went back a year later and blew a threesome yeah yeah
i got uh two girls back to my hotel room and uh one of them fell off the bed and slipped a disc.
Like generally this isn't an excuse.
That's what happened.
Had to call like an ambulance thing.
And so I walked down past the guy who'd let us up into our room.
And there's a girl getting into it.
It's like an ambulance like cab thing.
And that guy was just looking at me me like what the fuck is this English bastard
being doing
it was a proper
tragic moment as well
new hip for Cheryl
it was a proper
tragic moment as well
where I had to go
to the girls
I was helping them out
I was like
I just had to know
was it on
it was then was it
yeah
it was then
I was like 18 at the time
and it was
I'm surprised they
booked you back that quick
oh no no fucking they haven't I haven't been back since But I was like 18 at the time, man. I'm surprised they booked you back that quick.
Oh, no, no, fucking... They haven't.
They're with Off The Curb.
Yeah, I haven't been back since.
They'll fucking take a lot of people there
because it's a midweek gig for low-paying cash.
And I think if you're from a certain part of England,
you're in for a tough time in that gig.
Turbulent.
Yeah.
I get away with being Geordie, right?
They could say, in Scotland and Wales and Ireland and Northern Ireland like they could say like in scotland and wales and
ireland and northern ireland they could say all the way from england right or and throws under
the bus as a compare he's come up from england and there'd be like a little bit of unrest in
the audience as they collectively hit on the english and then they hear a jordy accent
in here like oh you got fucked by the british government too oh yeah they'll be like oh
they pulled the back guy they pulled the backbone out of
all of the industry
in the north east
and all the transport
links and just
fucking left you
there
so I get a pass
you don't
no
you don't get that
pass
but you know what
I do get
I get an underground
in London
and I'd rather have
that
than the fucking
respect
of a certain
part of people
is that attitude why people
hate you? yeah but you know what
like
I don't understand any of the things
with like those
whenever I watch
basically I watch the Ross Kemp episode
so I kind of understand it all
there's some guys who walk up and down in orange
and they all get fucked off but like the rest of the country get fucked or there's a part of them get fucked off by it i'm
with the guys who get fucked off because i think the people walking up and down in the orange they're
doing that as like silly boys like yeah and i've i understand that because uh brighton palace
sometimes the brighton fans deliberately walk past the palace pub with the police walk and it's
like deliberately antagonistic yeah it's antagonistic
and like some fans i don't condone it will like throw a beer can or something and then the police
go and have to shut the place down and make it out there was a riot when it wasn't it was like one
what is like the death of english hooliganism is now someone will launch a beer can at like and it
will go nowhere near the fans and the police will shut the whole of Croydon down.
And then they go, you see, this is why.
And you're like, well, yeah, because you walked them by all the palace.
But what did you think was going to happen? It's causing trouble.
Do we live in a real world?
I was in Derry, which is the, I think they call it Slash Town,
a stroke town or something,
because they have a stroke between Derry, London Derry.
Derry, stroke, London Derry.
So whichever way you want to call it,
depending on where you're inclined.
Right.
And I didn't,
you know,
normally you get up like,
oh,
it's good to be here in Liverpool.
It's good to be here in Birmingham,
right?
It's good to be here in,
I'm going to upset half the room here.
It's good to be here.
What do you call this place
when you couldn't give a fuck?
That's how I opened in Dry and i was just like honestly
because i just like i love all of you but i just don't i feel like i'm at my mate's house when he's
arguing with his missus and you're like you're like i get along with you both really well but
can one of you give me a lift home it's like when you uh when you gig in edinburgh and you'll do a
thing and you'll be like hey fuck Glasgow am I right and you think like
please never come see me
in Glasgow
because when I'm there
it's way more
hey fuck Edinburgh
am I right
yeah like I do
I used to say in Glasgow
like I've moved to Edinburgh
with the rest of the English people
like calling people
from Edinburgh English
but like I'm English
and I'm going
I'm English
and I've moved to Edinburgh
but they're all English
in Glasgow
like they fucking are English
oh you feel like a proper race traitor when you're in Scotland then you start slagging up I've moved to Edinburgh and they're all English. And Glasgow are like, they fucking are English.
You feel like a proper race traitor when you're in Scotland
and you start slagging off.
Like when I'm there
and I start slagging off London.
I'm like,
hey, fuck London, am I right?
And I'm like,
I can't wait to get back
and get a night bus.
Glasgow does have an underground though.
Oh, not really.
It's got one that covers the whole place.
I'm sorry, Glasgow,
you haven't got an underground.
No, hold on.
That doesn't count
hold on a minute
in Glasgow you've got one loop
that goes clockwise and counterclockwise
that hits every fucking spot in Glasgow
in London you've just got that fucking
mishmash of cable you've got going on in there
get off at the central lane and then walk
across bank to the station to the northern lane
and then go up and you're just like
could have just got a fucking Uber
build the 1800sgow built it when the
fuck i don't know i'm peddling fucking knowledge i don't have but by the seams of it glasgow built
it when they when they had their shit together yeah the the problem with london is that that
underground is like 100 and something years old oh yeah it's mentioned in dracula and and so
because some of it's like
100 it's like the same thing with uh why the the trains in london the out of london trains are
fucked like if you go down to where i live they're hundreds of years old there's stations that are
there that probably don't need to be there but there's line stopping it's the same with i found
out that you know the m25 around london right uh it was originally just meant to be one stop in
every borough so you jump on it
you jump off depending where you're going the problem was all the small towns around the m25
started complaining it was going to take away business so once one small light little place
got a thing that went off for him all of them got it so it completely fucking destroyed the point of
the m25 so now as a as a ring road of it's just meant to be like one giant
ring road like okay you live in south london you want to get to the edge of north london
but now there's too many ons and offs too many ons and offs so people just jump on it to go a
little distance so it defeats the purpose of it oh what my point is but like basically south london
hasn't got an underground my point is it's a it's an old city that if you could start again with
london you do it very differently oh like, absolutely. I feel like, I'm genuinely unsure about when Glasgow became a city,
but I feel like it's way more modern
because it's got that New York-style grid roads a lot of the time.
It has got, we had meandering motorways,
which are cool as fuck because they bypass everything.
But if you look at Edinburgh, none of that's fucking gridded.
They built that city when you are getting the quickest route
from A to B on a horse.
Everything's interlocked. if you're on a horse
right
you wouldn't go on like
down two blocks
and then left
and then go on two blocks
and wait at traffic lights
right
you just want to fucking
go on up and over the hills
and shit
oh man
Edinburgh's like a game
of Sim City Creator
that's gone fucking wrong
you know what I mean
getting drunk
yeah you don't know
how to pave the cobbles
on the streets
and then you just put a castle
in the middle of it
and then a festival and then a tram lane
i like that tram line oh man what a fucking mess that city was for years as they went over budget
and fucking over time just trying to like you could probably like i said a modern city that's
more of a grid system you can probably get a tram and then oh by the way you'd like block some roads and divert and all
that but they just did not have the fucking it like don't get me wrong you could give me
several trillion pounds and went put a tram system in edinburgh and i couldn't have done it right
with all of the money at my back i couldn't have done it so it's easy for me to go what what a mess
that is i wouldn't like to be the guy with that challenge somebody did it i quite like i thought the trams were quite useful because when
i was when i did a reading this year and had to come back up to the festival so you have to leave
early in the morning fly down get picked up do reading get dropped off fly back i got to the
to the airport and jumped on the tram and it was actually quite quick to like Princes Street
me and Sloss raced it
right
we've mentioned it
on the podcast already
but just
people that
haven't caught up
he was adamant
that it wasn't as quick
on the tram
and I was like
it's a fucking tram
it's a straight line
if you get in a taxi
you're getting every traffic light
on the way
so he took the taxi
and I got the tram
and he managed to get in
three games of FIFA
oh yeah he lives quite close to the taxi and I got the tram and he managed to get in three games of FIFA.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
He lives quite close to the airport, though.
He got back so quick.
Like, I thought he was, like,
joking about how long
he'd been back,
but, like,
he'd finished a spliff.
He had his record.
Like, you can see
the games he played.
And I was just like,
oh, right,
like, you just come in
and fucking run.
He went back to the airport,
went on holiday.
Ah, yeah.
Fucking, he'd actually
started putting posters
up on lampposts
to see where I am
while you were on a tram
a missing sign appeared
on the tram
and yeah
it's not even that cheap
really
it's like
five minimum
five but six years
Croydon has trams
and I get them
maybe once a year
when i accidentally
go to west cradon instead of east cradon and have to jump on the tram it's the only time i ever get
the tram did you worry your trams came off yeah yeah a lot of people died yeah holy shit but if
that happened at edinburgh no one would get hurt because they just like pushed them a little bit
like gently nudged them doing the street because they're fucking slow oh like six mile an hour or something it's mad it happened uh you just be in the middle of a conversation
the tram would come off the tracks and they'd just be going oh two seconds mate i'm just getting
pushed doing the road by this tram dude it's it's it's insane like there's someone like i think it's
like an old line because the way it bends it doesn't like just bend it like it's like some
formula one sort of bend you know you got them
striped pavements yeah yeah it's like it's just it's just a pure but i don't know why i'm signaling
like the podcast listeners are able to see but they can feel your body language oozing through
the microphone and it just like bend and one went down there too fast and i came off i'm sure i've
mentioned this on the podcast before people started marking
themselves safe who lived in brighton and i was like you what are you fucking doing
i live in croydon and i don't get on that tram muggles yeah that is mugglery when people
mark themselves safe when they're not near the area i think we might have covered we've covered
it so many times.
Surely.
Speaking of marking ourselves safe,
have you seen the news of Russia and America about a go at war again?
Oh, fucking...
They're like Ross and Rachel, man.
Just fucking get it over with.
Go for each other.
Bunch of pussies always talking.
No one's from nukes.
Make it get exciting.
So that's what's going on.
The Syrian government poisoned some rebels,
gassed some rebels or something.
Oh, yeah.
Mate, again, a pedal of knowledge I don't have.
This is what's wonderful about this podcast.
You just get fucking information from me and you.
If there's any Syrian rebels listening,
tweet us at ElliotSteelcom.
So Trump isn't there.
Trump isn't going to go on his visit to
Latin America and
instead he's going to
work out what he's
going to do with the
Syrian government and
Russia not like
fucking go for it
bitch I think that's
what's happening hey
I've done a lot more
research on World War
One since the last
time we talked about
it okay do you want
to know how World
War One started
go on is it the
Archduke of
Ferdinand Archduke
of Ferdinand the Archduke Les Ferdinand of New Castle archduke of ferdinand archduke of ferdinand the archduke les ferdinand of newcastle frank ferdinand right i'll talk you through it it's
all about allegiances right france had an allegiance with russia i'm not sure where that
allegiance stemmed from but russia weren't seen as a big powerhouse at the time they just lost a
little skirmish with japan right but russia and france they're big powerhouse at the time. They just lost a little skirmish with Japan. But Russia and France, they're buddies.
And at the same time, Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire are buddies.
But for no other reason than they're the central power.
They're together.
They're the axis, right?
They're right in the middle.
Yeah, but they were called the axis.
Axis of evil.
Is that what that is?
No, they were just called the axis. That's never come up in any of my literature that I've read so far. Oh. Yeah, but they were called the Axis. Axis of Evil. Is that what that is? No, they were just called the Axis.
That's never come up in any of my literature
that I've read so far.
Oh, right.
Maybe they were.
There was the Allies and the Axis,
or that might be World War II.
Right.
So you've got Austro-Hungarian,
European, Germany,
who are just like,
they're just brothers, right?
They're like,
we don't necessarily get along.
They've got no real reason to be partners.
Describing your brothers.
Me and Gab. your relationship with Gab
we had a boxing match
we don't necessarily get along
but he's there
you wouldn't say aye-nye
me and Gab get along great
we've had some
we've had some business arguments
so we'll have
but we're fucking buddies
so they're
they're getting along
just for the sake of
we're surrounded
by France by Russia by the Ottoman Empire.
Did that just do a little blink?
Yeah.
It seems to have full battery.
Oh, okay, cool.
I don't know what that was.
So they're surrounded by people.
Syria, not Syria, Serbia, which is like, fuck.
I don't even know if that's in the Ottoman Empire.
I don't think it is.
But Serbia, oh, with Russia, right? fuck I don't even know if that's in the Ottoman Empire I don't think it is
but Serbia
or with Russia
right
England
aren't with France
right
England
even though England
went and fought with France
we didn't give a fuck
about them
we were just like
crack on
they asked us for help
and we were just like
when it kicked off
and we were just like
nah I'm grand
you seem to have your thing
going on over there
we're just going to
sit here
and have some industry
but we did
have an agreement with Belgium that they remain neutral.
I think it's because we had trade routes to the Antwerp, to the port.
We were just buddies with Belgium, but Belgium were neutral.
And they didn't really have big armies because Britain's got that back.
So that's where we're at at the minute.
But then this fucking Serbian guy, and it wasn't even in Serbia, it was in Bosnia.
It was in Sarajevo this Serbian guy
Gavali Princip
shot the Archduke
Franz Ferdinand
who was there
making like
I don't know
he had like
he had very progressive plans
actually
he would have probably
been the person
that they shouldn't have shot
they should have probably
shot the other
fucking Franz
was this year
like
they wanted a war
and this was the reason
to go to war
like weren't they already looking to go they was the reason to go to war like weren't they already
looking to go they were already looking to go right so austria austral hungarian empire just
fucking checked in with germany you've got my back right in germany we're like of course we'll
get it back where the fucking central power was surrounded right and then austria just fucking
ran in and just done a passion like in hot blood fucking attack on serbia right and then austria
all of a sudden germany what it war, and then, bloody Austria, all of a sudden,
Germany,
at war,
right,
and they'd already fucking,
made plans of fucking attacking shit,
so they already had plans in order,
for when war kicked off,
because they were probably going to invade anyway,
right,
but then,
Russia,
stuck up for fucking Serbia,
so all of a sudden,
Germany,
attacked Russia,
then all of a sudden,
France,
attacked Germany on the other front,
because,
it's the kick off of all of the fucking,
the allegiances
and then fucking England is still
sat there just going, no, we're cool
the fucking stupid Germans went and marched
right through fucking Belgium, but marched with force
through Belgium, them big Bertha bombs
like blowing up the, like
and England fucking got involved
and then all of a sudden it's fucking
and then, on top of that, Germany
fucking docked
some of their ships in turkey right and fucking the turkish like well like oh well you've given
away that we're not neutral by parking here so the fucking germans put feathers on so they would
look turkish and just go oh just pretend you bought my boats so they're just doing this
fucking big battleship with feathers on and then when we went er Turkey I'm not found for your little hat routine
that's almost as bad as
the glasses with the nose
it was
it was that
on a global war scale
it was fucking that level
of bullshit right
there's fucking photographs
of this big German battle cruise
of a fucking German guy
with fucking feathers on
swear to god
and then
and then Britain
would just say
just say
how I take you
you fucking mugs
and then we sent in
our forces from India
and Anzac
like the Australia
and New Zealand
parts of the British Empire
so that's when it
became a global war
when the rest of the
fucking continent
started rushing in on
and
what's the place called again
begins with G
Nacho Brula.
People are screaming at the podcast now.
But anyway,
I think in a nutshell,
that's how World War I kicked off.
Right.
I thought it was to do with like,
the reason they were arguing was over empires.
Like a lot of it was to do with Africa.
So it was like,
kind of like,
oh,
we want,
like it was,
and it wasn't.
I haven't went back that far,
but there was shit going on,
like the Bois Wars
were against the Dutch,
weren't they?
Yeah, all of that stuff,
but then...
I feel like I've joined in
on season three.
Right, yeah.
You know what I mean?
Because,
as bad as World War I was,
right,
how good is Battlefield 1
as a video game?
Is that a World War I game?
Yeah, mate.
I've never played it.
Mate, you've got to get on board
of Battlefield 1. Oh, it's the shit oh it's what what platform uh ps4 this is this is
because i thought like if battlefield fucking fours out or something i thought it might have
been on the ps3 no no no no battlefield there's like battlefield four but battlefield one is
world war one it's the newest one oh really battlefield 1 oh shit mate you've got to get on it
it's the best first person shooter
it's better than Call of Duty
oh yeah I want to take that on
just to fucking amass myself in it
and cry
I don't think Sloss
is ever going to be angrier
while listening to a podcast
and then be nobads
you explain World War 1 to me
you could have made anything up
I mean I filled in some blanks
I'm going to be honest
it's me
you could have been like oh yeah and there was this guy
named Jonathan and he just decided
he was going to streak all through Europe
and everyone went at war
I'll just put this up as a Facebook status
because I enjoyed it
did you read it? No
I'll tell it to the podcast
there was this young boy 14 years old like in 1914
and he was in juvenile detention
and he escaped by squeezing through the bars.
He fucking snuck out of his detention centre
by squeezing through the bars.
And then he went, actually, he'd done this on purpose.
It wasn't just like, it just didn't transpire to happen.
But he picked a victim who was a soldier
that was going back on the front line, right?
Like a few years older than him
because he was at the age of consent for war.
And he got him drunk drunk got him pissed stole his rifle his papers and his badges and got on the fucking
whatever the boat the the transport to the front line in france as the guy who got pissed 14 years
old right and he's in the fucking front line by his own admission at the age of 14 and he's just not enjoying the banter
and his battalion
this bunch of people
he doesn't know
and aren't really accepting of him and that
and he's like
oh fuck this
these bellends
and he just whacked through the trenches
until he found other people
that were from where he was from
and fucking obviously
he's a scouser
he just went for a wander
down the trenches
and he just went for a wander
down the trenches
and fucking funned some other scousers and just went for a one down doing the trenches and fucking
fun some of their
scouts
and just went like
oh fuck I'll fight
with these guys
you know my brother
and then he got
funned out and
sent home
but still hilarious
that's an actual
legend
so what was
so he broke out
of prison
and then decided
I've had enough
of prison
I fancy going to war
I just went out
to war
just like
I had my own
admission
14 years old
fucked 14 years old fucked 14 years
old Zano
couldn't get the bus
to Newcastle
I want to do
a bit about this
yeah but this is
I've been doing
a bit about this
you see like
when
I say this thing
now where I go
people have to be
patient between
with men
aged 16 and 30
because it's such
a difficult time
for us and it really is
because when shit
kicks off with Russia
it's me who's going to be fucking drafted like it's me who's going to be drafted and dropped
out over in russia and i'm like you know i go to the gym i train a little bit they're going to look
at me and go yep put him on the front line he could be killed by eagle yeah like and we're not
winning that war i don't think i don't think that's so true now because you know like if you
if you didn't what's it called
conscientious rejection
no that's not
conscientious object
conscientious object
object
where you say no
and like in the past
they would get
fucking locked up
and they would be
like frowned upon
by society
I think like
in today's society
you'd be celebrated
for saying no
this is your fault
yeah but I'm not
a wee bitch
well you were going there
no
they need little
fucking jaw heads like you no I'd be that guy like no no I'm not a wee bitch. Well, you were going there. No. They need little fucking jawheads like you.
No.
I'd be that guy, like,
no, no, I've got a fucking feeling for sloths on the podcast.
I got my dad to...
The people need laughter.
I got my dad to sing this form,
like a fucking...
Like, I forgot my uniform, fucking excuse.
Oh, man, it's mad when, like, things get weird with Russia,
because, you know, like, people...
Napoleon couldn't invade because of the winter. Hitler couldn't invade because of the winter. oh man it's mad when like things get weird with russia because you know like people napoleon
couldn't invade because of the winter hitler couldn't invade because of the winter and we
think we're gonna win we'll send out a fucking tank replacement bus you ever tried to get from
one bit of britain to the other when it's snowing and we think we're gonna get through siberia
we need to cool our hype when shit gets off with them. That's my bit of logic on what's going on in the world right now.
Russia's a fucking interesting beast.
It's just massive.
Why is it so massive?
How do you fucking claim that much land?
Is it because it's flat?
I started reading that book you were talking about, Prison as a Geography,
and I think it's just because it's such an expanse of flatness
after there's
some mountains
like a third
not even a third
like a quarter
of the way in
Russia
there's some mountains
and everything east of that
like the European side of it
is like
you know like Moscow
and everything
that's more European
and then the rest of it
Siberia
that's all like
fucking flat land
so I guess the only way
you can defend it
if you haven't got any
like geographical borders
is to just keep expanding
until you reach
until you reach
a geographical border
that's what the book says
isn't it
like sea
or mountain range
so I think that's why
it's such a big place
but
it's just
which makes it impossible
to invade
I don't know
I don't know
I wouldn't know
how to invade a country
like I ain't gonna say
that's my area of expertise
which I don't think
anyone was ever
gonna ask me innit do you know if I was gonna invade a country do you know where i'd invade
fucking san marino bruv like so we could stop playing them in the qualifiers
what sort of their players can play for you now no i'm just like why am i having to stop the
premier league because i've got to watch fucking England play Montenegro
okay
just bruv
go over there
take that
and just be like
look
you could be part of us
why did Luxembourg
have to be neutral
could you not just
go and vomit
even if Jeremy
took your woman
right
just fuck me man
you don't need to be
you're ruining
the Premier League
every week
that's again my London-centric side.
It's coming through, isn't it?
Self-pity.
Should we...
How long have we done?
Is it Muggle time?
We've done 25 minutes.
I think we could probably get into some...
I've got to defend my thing.
I was involved in a Facebook status.
Is this part of your Muggle corner?
Is this something you want to talk about?
Oh, it's something I want to talk about.
You got blamed.
I got blamed?
I was put up in a victim...
I wouldn't even know how to explain it.
Somebody made a parody account of a comedian
who we know called Sophie Hagen,
who is controversial in some of our opinions.
I always get along with Sophie.
I don't get along with Sophie I don't get along with
I don't agree
with a lot of the things
that she says online
she should be allowed
to say it
but she's allowed to say that
and you know what
I don't reply to anything
with me
disagreement
because
this is her feed
this is her opinion
and I don't want to
I don't want to be that guy
that gets into a trolling war
but you have
once or twice engaged
you engaged once
where she was trying to say that coconut water were fat shaming people be that guy that gets into a trolling war but you have once or twice engaged you engaged once where
she was trying to say that coconut water were fat shaming people yeah and you were just like
that's your battle you're trying to bring down coconut water yeah which is very funny and very
valid but like it's a why you're getting into that i just i just got involved i just found it funny
like just like coconut water like i was sending it tweets going fuck you with your
refreshing and replenishing taste like it's not it's not providing a lovely service for yeah and
it is it she was like going at it for like a stance of like because it had a thing saying uh
get that beach body and it's like i try to get a beach there is a market for that i know i can
understand i can see the point of people but guess what i get involved in the whole get you to get a beach body sort of whatever that is
that's a marketplace for me someone like me who tries to do it and i buy into that service me too
i've seen the the retaliation to get a beach body and it wasn't that advertising campaign it was to
the one that was at the london underground protein world one the protein world one get a big beach body ready and then there was this thing that went
around how to be beach body ready one find a beach to have a body and then i just want to write
three brackets optional workout yeah eat well there's no harm in it i love getting i'll say
this i like getting into shape like at the moment i'm because of all that the stuff that i do i
can't i can't go to muay thai or anything and it's a it frustrates me like i feel a little bit like oh that's that's one thing
i like doing you feel good you wake up with a bit of a fucking get up and go the connection between
the body and the mind there's no negative side effects to trying to pursue a beach body and if
people don't want to do it that's fine i think it's a bit muggly to be like oh i'm not gonna do
it i'm gonna and it's like okay i understand but then you you can't be upset you can't get jealous of the person who it's like
anything if you put a bit of time and effort into something you're gonna get a bit more of a result
than someone who's anyway that's not the point the biggest victim of this campaign was the the
model in the poster the girl who worked out like to a point that she looked fantastic in a bikini
and she fucking did yeah right not in a pervy point of view but as a person who worked out like to a point that she looked fantastic in a bikini and she fucking did
right
not in a pervy point of view
but as a person
who works out
going you fucking
really worked hard
it's her job
to look
to look fucking wonderful
and look
you are pleasing on the eye
that's just the way it is
just the same
some smells smell good
and some smells smell bad
right
it's not objective
farts stink
right
and I was looking at that going yep that is a nice smell
for the eyes what the fuck was that i went down on that i was saying if that was a fucking
overweight person it would be like getting cupcakes it would be like getting your eyes and it's not the wrong way but you don't want to
see the
Sloss will be listening
to this one
after the World War 1
chat just tearing his
hair out
this is what I want
my podcast to be
guys
no flat shaming
I'm not flat shaming
I am just saying
objectively
for me
the fucking
people marketing
called it
that I would enjoy
looking at that
and I fucking did
so when I looked at that I would enjoy looking at that and I fucking did so
when I looked at that
I was like
cool
she looks great
now she got
fucking her poster campaign
pulled down
she's probably dead excited
telling her family
I've got this big gig
I'm the face of the protein advert
I'm in a bikini dad
on the underground
you're gonna be proud
you were worried
I was gonna get a beer porn star
weren't you pops
oh well guess what
now that they've fucking
brought down my posters
fucking I've got to make
ends meet
and now that girl
is taking loads on her face
because people got insecure
about their weight
so I've got my opinions
you know I don't lock horns
I don't lock horns I don't lock horns
with anybody
and if anybody locks horns
with me
on this
because of
it's exactly
the point I make
is Hagen's allowed
her point
to allow
you're on your
podcast
you're allowed
your place
absolutely
and we both do
get along
and someone made
a parody account
of her
and she sort of wrote
a status accusing me of being one of the people who made the parody account but the thing was
one i think parody accounts at the best of time are shit like they've got to be really good like
boring james milner the twitter account of that that is put so much dedication and it makes me go every now and then
like they're not for me sick little this parody account was dog shit so i was more offended that
she thought it was me because it was a load of shit jokes you think you would have made some
more astute comments oh yeah it just there wasn't subtlety wasn't its strong point shall i say yeah
like and thirdly it was like what what annoyed me afterwards was loads of people started making these statuses, tagging me in them, like coming to my defence without me.
I just ignored the entire situation.
And even when you don't agree with the people that stick it up for you, like you feel like they're talking with your voice.
Yeah.
And you're like, oh, this isn't how I want to project myself right now.
Yeah.
It's like you see like people who with Brexit, it's like people probably voted leave for a valid reason.
Then you get these people go, I blow passport. And passport and you go oh they're on my team yeah like you are not helping oh you fucking idiots you're on my team you know i mean i felt like
that i felt like there was just a load of things going on that were to do with with me and you just
suddenly go like why in this situation do i do I make a comment but it's almost as if
if I comment
that's an admission
or if I say I didn't do it
people also
but if I stay silent
is that an admission of guilt
and do you know what I did Kai?
I went and played Fortnite
and I had a great time
you had a good time
you just let it
you just let it
simmer in the background
you let it bubble
that's the best way
is just stay fucking silent
it blows over quicker
but the thing is
you didn't do it you didn't do the account no and she assumed you did the account
and she was talking that you were turning your followers onto her and stuff that but then she
turned her followers onto you so the hypocrisy behind it was just a bit icky i got 1600 followers
on twitter five of them reply every now and then like I my followers
on Twitter
nobody sat there
going
new Elliot Stiltweet
they're all off this podcast
exactly
and I've tried to
bang all of
no
my dad listens to this
he tried to bang my dad
if he starts a Twitter
nah
but yeah it was I was just
felt like I was in the
middle of you know what it
felt like I felt like I was
in the middle of like some
sort of controversy like I
was at raw imagine what
Bill Clinton felt like when
he was going through his
thing where he just got he
just went and got a
blouser and he's no longer
president which is I'm sure
how it went down in a nutshell
yeah pretty much
I feel like this cunt
at the minute
he could get blown by a goat
and be like
ah fuck this sound
ah it's fucking
what's he like
you've got to admire it
he's been accused of everything
he's fucking Teflon
you see that scene
on Band of Brothers
where the fucking
guy's running
and bullets are
just fucking
whizzing past him
and he gets from
one end of the
battlefield to the
other and I'm just
looking at the
fucking Donald Trump
hand is there
anything you could
do that you wouldn't
get fucking
blown up
he said grab
them by the
pussy
if I said that
on this podcast
I'd be in trouble
yeah you can you can literally Podcasts are being troubled.
Yeah, you can literally do an address like he can get up from behind the desk
and be in no pants
and just start rubbing his dick across the desk
while going like,
we're going to bomb the shit out of Russia
or Tezmenistan
or whatever the fuck you want to call it.
There's people that are going,
you've got to give it to him.
He says it how it is.
It's what we're all thinking.
Oh, I would have thought that we went straight.
Oh, fucking...
It does make you think...
How has saying what you're thinking
ever been a good thing?
Saying what you're thinking
got me thrown out of a stripper.
Strippers?
Out of a stripper.
Out of her.
She did have bad breath.
Everyone was thinking it. why did you get thrown out
of a strippers
I got thrown out
for spewing once
in em
was it during a lap dance
because that would have
really ruined her day
I woke up actually
yes and no
I was asleep
in a strip
in a strip club
right
and it was
I was 21
I was the age you are now
and I know this
I would never do nothing like that
and I know this because
I had one of my
21st birthday presents
in my wallet
right
right
oh
well
whatever you're thinking
not that
right
I woke up
to boob on face contact
right
this stripper
is having a laugh
with me mates
and me mates have dared her
to wake me up
with her tits
right
and she
was like
it's on
right
and she woke me up
with her boobs
in my face
and I just woke up
just like
this is great
but I'm gonna spew
I fucking ran
right
I ran
and went to the toilet
and fucking kneeled down at the toilet
and fucking spewed down the side of the,
down the side of the toilet bowl.
I don't know how it happened
because I made it to the toilet,
but I spewed down the side of the toilet bowl
and the toilet attendant started kicking us.
Started like actually fucking physically kicking us
in the ribs while I was on my hands and knees spewing.
This story just gets better and better on my hands and knees spewing the story just goes
gets better and better
so I fucking
stopped spewing
I wipe my face down
and he's like
fucking angry
like mopping the
fucking place up
after I was writing
like shouting at us
and I went in my wallet
to like tip him something
and I only had a
ten pound top man voucher
that bro's put in
one of my birthday cards
and I tipped the
the toilet attendant with a top man voucher so he's putting one of me birthday cards and i i tipped the the toilet tenant with a
top man voucher so he's got a nice shirt man i feel like donald trump could tell that story
and people would just they'll be like you gotta give it to me man have a good time
i like a president with experiences um i that was What I like about this podcast
Is we went from you
Detailing how World War 1 started
To you
Actually we'll put a full stop on that
And we'll be talking about you getting thrown under the bus online
So that went from you being
Shamed on the internet
For a crime you didn't commit.
Guilty.
Free the Elliot one.
I am the Nelson Mandela of the internet.
Yes.
Oh, you're dead.
We're going to do Muggle Corners.
Yeah, go on then.
Muggles are basic bitches.
Yep.
That's what Muggles are.
Mm-hmm.
So what do you consider to make someone a basic bitch?
Just lacking that little spark of not just originality,
not even going with the herd,
just saying something because they feel it,
or doing something sort of because part of the herd does it.
It's seen as like the herd should be doing this.
It's not always that the herd,
sometimes there's things the herd needs to do
like if you ever watch
Attenborough
Wildebeest sometimes
they've got to stick together
otherwise they're going to
get murked by a lion
yeah yeah
you don't want to just
go off on a pure tan
we're not like
suggesting that everybody
should be fully blown
eccentric fucking
weirdo
like everybody's guilty
of mugglery
we're guilty of it
fucking
I would say like
half of the things
that were put in
were being guilty of the crime themselves but we're guilty of it fuck it I would say like half of the things that we put in we've been guilty
of the crime ourselves
but it's sometimes
recognising it
and going
ah I'm being a muggle
yes
it's the first step
to salvation
so do you want me
to open the
open gambit
yeah go on
muggles spend money
on fortnite
no
right
I'm going to put in
a disclaimer
to defend myself
in a way right
£7.99 for £ 7.99 you unlock a
bunch of challenges which are fun in the routine game and it's actually a part of the game um
i don't think that's that muggly i it's a bit rich come from me because like i i did this so
this isn't muggly but i actually got more joy out of spending that 7.99 and it's a game that
there's free so I'm like what difference
does it make
spending £8
on a game
that I'm getting
this much joy out of
and now I can join in
with a bunch of challenges
right
if people don't know
what Fortnite is
it's a game
like the Hunger Games
it's on the Playstation 4
or the Xbox
I think on the iPad now too
but you
100 people going
to an island
and it's last man standing
and you fight
you duke it out
but there's an option
I don't know
if we've got it on right now.
We can put the,
turn it up.
Turn it down a little bit.
We'll keep it on in the background
while we talk about Fortnite.
Right.
There's an option
at the top to go to the store
and you can,
let's go to it now.
You can go to the store
and you can buy
399 gets you 500 V-Bucks,
799 gets you 1,000 V-Bucks. Plus 100 500 V-Bucks, £7.99 gets you
1,000 V-Bucks. Plus 100 bonus V-Bucks
which doesn't help.
Let's go right to the end.
10,000 V-Bucks
for £80
plus a bonus 3,500
V-Bucks.
V-Bucks is fake currency.
Is it a bonus?
I've spent £80 for
10,000 V-Bucks and I get a bonus three and a half?
No, I've spent 80 pounds and got 1,300, 500 V-Bucks.
Yeah, fucking bonus.
Oh, look at that little bargain.
So some people, that means the fact it's an option,
some people are spending 80 pounds.
Now let's go to the locker and see what you can get
once you've spent your 7.99, right?
Once you've spent your 7.99, the only other things you can get is you can get a dance move called Disco Fever.
You can get a lucky pickaxe harvesting tool.
It doesn't help the game, by the way.
It doesn't help the game.
It's just how you look, right?
You can get this Love Ranger outfit, which makes you look like Michelangelo's David.
Is that you?
Is that the guy who's like
proper naked and that
yeah and that costs
two thousand right
let's do the maths on this
two thousand
of your ten thousand
you've not got the guess
for that
no no no
this is the fucking
two thousand
is a fifth
forget about your
bonus points right
a fifth
it's a fifth
of your ten thousand
is that fourteen quid
that
no a fifth
that has to be
fourteen quid
fifteen quid no no no because go to be 14 quid 15 quid
no no no
because go back
go back
you see
you see
a thousand V-Bucks
is 7.99
that's 1,000
yeah
that's a thousand V-Bucks
so yeah
but you get
I mean if you get
the big one
or the bonus rate
so if you get
20 quid
get your fucking outfit
some people
actually right now
when you're playing
Fortnite
and you see a guy
wearing a fucking
suit like that
like an avatar he's a muggle you spend fucking 20 quid he's a you see a guy wearing a fucking suit like that, like an avatar.
He's a muggle.
You spend fucking 20 porn on it.
He's a muggle.
The guy's probably fucking in his overdraft.
He's a muggle.
I didn't agree at the beginning, but after working that out, I agree.
And I'll tell you what else I think is muggly with it.
The way, what was I going to say?
It's the way like, it defeats the point that
would be great if you could unlock that by leveling up yeah that's what i find muggly
about it that's that looks cool as fuck and you can't want that thing you can get it by leveling
up actually because you can get bonus v books when you level up but not that amount it would
take forever it would take a while and it just it just becomes like oh the whole point of a video
game i used to play a lot of fif like oh the whole point of a video game i
used to play a lot of fifa yeah the last state of the goal right i used to i used to play fifa
ultimate team all the time which is basically an online version of fifa and used to be able to open
packs and stuff then they brought money into it where you could buy the packs and i used to graft
my ass off at it and then i remember some one time i put 20 quid and got as good and i remember just
thinking like i've just this defeats the entire purpose of what I'm doing here.
Like, I play a video game because part of it is the challenge.
When you play, like, old-school Metal Gear Solid,
you used to have to do so much shit.
You used to, on any Metal Gear Solid game,
you used to have to do so much shit.
Complete it twice without dying or saving it,
and you get the invisibility cloak.
And then when you use the invisibility cloak,
it makes the game better.
Yeah, exactly.
But then, or getting skins on Call of Duty guns.
You used to have to get headshots online and things.
It was really difficult.
And now you can buy it, and it just comes.
Why?
Why?
You've defeated the point of video games.
But then I think on the flip side of that,
it's kind of like Build-A-Bear.
Do you know what I mean?
You ever go Build-A-Bear and sometimes you buy a bear.
All right, you can get a bear for like eight quid,
but you want the cool shit.
It's going to cost you.
So you could spend more than actual clothes cost.
When you're fucking buying that, you're trying to get your dick sucked.
What, Build-A-Bear?
I only ever went there on like a year nine birthday party.
It's not like a fucking Valentine's gift or something.
I was never trying to get a dick sucked.
Trying to fucking lay some game down
so you can fucking
build a bear
that's also muggly
building a bear
aye yeah
let's go build a
just buy a fucking bear
I don't know
but let's not
lose sight of the goal
if you are fucking
buying an avatar
for your
for your character
I'm in muggle corner
I paid the money
on Fortnite
I paid the 7.89
for the challenges.
And with the challenges,
I got enough V-Bucks
that I bought one of the fucking lower level skins
just because it was a Leprechaun one
and I was about to play with Ryan Cullen.
I bought the Electroshock dance move.
Yes, I could do the dance.
You big spender.
Let's see what that's worth.
What are the dance floors?
800.
I had enough V-Bucks.
Yeah, that was eight quids worth.
Yeah, I spent that on a...
It's a cool dance move, that.
Like, you can be a millionaire, right,
and you'd still not get fleeced by this kind of shit, right,
without being a muggle.
Because you just have, like, it's like with them things,
sometimes I'll look at something and go,
I'm not spending that.
Like, cash point, £1.50 to pay for a cash point at £1.99.
Suck your mum about pay for that.
Give me my money, bruv.
Yeah, exactly.
Going for a piss at a train station.
Jump the barrier.
Jump the barrier, piss on the fucking floor.
Fucking charging me to do one of these fucking...
Civil rights being violated.
Because if you put them in to fucking keep homeless people out,
fucking that's even more shameful.
That is even more fucking shameful. I think the the logic is it i think it works like this
with toilets built at train stations i think what it is is they charge until the amount it costs i
don't know i might have just made this up completely uh but that's never stopped me before
in this podcast um if the amount they charge 30p because once they make the money it costs to create
the toilets at the
train station
it then becomes free
that's why certain
train stations
then have like
King's Cross
now has free toilets
Victoria Station
now has free toilets
well you know
what it costs
135p to get
Newcastle and back
spend some of that
on me piss
you know what I mean
let fucking Richard
Branson pay for it
oh man
it's ridiculous
train prices
the other thing is
fucking wifi in hotels
there's wifi free in the lobby
I've got wifi
that I've paid for at home
I've got data on my phone
right
and you are clearly
taxing me for my porn
let me yeah
that is porn tax
that is wank tax
this is prostitution
but not even a good kind
oh man
if I'm wanking
in your restaurant
fucking that's because
you try to charge me
for a wank
right what's your muggle corner If I'm wanking in your restaurant, fucking that's because you tried to charge me for a wank.
Right, what's your Muggle corner?
How many are we doing?
Just one?
We're just going to do one each.
Okay.
I'll go with this one.
What one do I go with?
Muggles do martial arts how we do martial arts.
What?
You know fucking everything about it
because you've been doing it three months.
Yeah.
Oh my God. But then when we're in the gym we're timid little beasts aren't we yeah we are fucking we god it's the old bugger um i i say this because over the last couple of weeks you
there's been a video on us online of us sparring me and david longley who i i love dearly we've
been having banter back and forth on facebook with us. I've uploaded a video of me hitting a bag and stuff
and it's just,
and I'll admit to it,
it's a little bit of me going,
look at this cool shit
I can do, everyone.
You can't do it.
You're posturing.
You're posturing.
Yeah, a little bit,
but also like,
it's something you work at,
like we said earlier,
so you kind of show it off.
It's like when you walk,
I won't walk around
with my top off now,
but when I've got a six pack,
I will
like you know
in the middle of winter
yeah
your muscles tense
so it looks better
but yeah
it's that little bit
of like
but when we're in the gym
and the fortnight music
don't know
oh shit
wrong button
when I'm in the gym
I have
zero banter
very full
and it's just like
but when you're outside
and people find out you do
martial arts you do start sometimes speaking like you're bruce lee and you're like you do catch
yourself doing it every now and then and you gotta go i've got i've got to calm down for someone that
is pretty much a white belt because yeah i i hate that when if even if you catch someone talking
about martial arts that like you're higher level than but they don't know that and you hear them
you think what a fucking muggle like he is posturing like if he's got a little bit of information
now when we talk about martial arts there's somebody that's better than us that could be
eavesdropping just can't fucking hear what he's muggle what are they talking about yeah yeah
because that's what i was saying when i went in eject was that like i will talk a good game and i
like and you know what i'm fucking pretty handy at my tie
with when it comes to the general public but when I'm in that gym I know fucking nothing
absolutely fucking jack shit do you remember when you're in there and you go like
wait wait wait what's that basic thing I'm meant to know I keep getting told why I'm wrong
well like even sometimes you throw a kick and they go,
Jesus, twist your hip more, pivot more.
And you go, I thought I was.
Yeah, I catch myself being an absolute mongrel with it sometimes.
However, what brought this to light with me is when I put a video up of me on a bag,
someone posted a comment going,
you drop your right every time you throw a kick,
you drop your right hand,
which to people who listen,
you're meant to do that to help generate force and power. Yeah, but you brought your left across your face.
So you actually,
even though you were hitting a bag,
you were very conscientious that,
like if that wasn't a fake,
that's drilled into you.
So the person who said that,
then like a load of people sort of liked in agreement with
and I didn't write
but I wanted to write
none of you know
what you
like that's real basic
day one shit
that was one thing
where I come and defended you
because I saw that
and I was like
oh but he's doing it right
yeah
I know he's doing it right
this person's just been
like a fucking
backseat driver
yeah
in an armchair
and then it made me think
how many times
have I probably done that and
someone's bit their lip with me yeah and just sat there and be like uh-huh yeah sure whatever
and i've noticed it sometimes if i got annoyed and i go into an intro class and there'll be
sometimes i turn up late and i realize i've come at the wrong time there's an intro class i'll jump
in and it might be someone in there who doesn't realize you're a high level who starts then
telling you how to do something and you're there going i'm not doing it properly because i'm
taking it really light sort of thing and you dang and then it's that thing of going i probably have
done that a thousand times to someone like i there's probably people who listen to this podcast
who know so sorry like ari uh who's uh estonian ari oh yeah who uh who could genuinely
if i jumped into spa with him it would last as long as he wanted it to show his full professionally
yeah exactly and i'm sure i've probably at some point said something to him where he's just
probably bit his lip and be like what is this fucking sunday school martial arts talking about. Fucking noob. Well, you know what I think it is with beginners,
which we are beginners, right,
is when you're in your first six months to a year of a sport
and you get good at it,
you instantly go from into the top 10%
of hardest people in the world, right?
Right.
I feel like you do that,
but the people above you are so much further above you than the people below you, than the 90 right right i feel like you do that but the the people above you are so much further
above you than the people below you than the 90 percent right that claim from 10 to the top one
percent right is a much but it's fucking siberia yeah yeah it's like when you look at someone even
if you go even if when i'm in top training i go five times a week there's people in there who go
like three times a day or six times a week.
So you're nowhere near it.
And they aren't even ranked?
Yeah, exactly.
But saying some of the hardest, I'll tell a story the other day where I absolutely bottled it in a fight.
Did you?
Yeah.
I came out of a session, ordered an Uber, and Uber said it was three minutes away.
I waited about ten minutes and uber still wasn't there so i called the uber driver and i was like
to him listen mate uh i don't want this uber anymore it's taking too long but if i cancel it
i've got to pay a fair charge i can see on the map you just sat around the corner he's like look
mate i'll be there in a minute so i was like all right and the uber pulled up and the two lads got
out with McDonald's.
So that Uber had been around there waiting because they'd been in McDonald's.
They'd made the Uber driver wait, but they were only around the corner.
Yeah.
Like they were around the corner.
But it was their Uber.
But it was their Uber.
So when I got out, I heard one of them go, God, that guy on the phone, what a dick.
And I just went, I'm not a dick.
I was like, I ordered an Uber.
It said it'd be three minutes.
It's not been three minutes. And there was a bit of back and forth. And one. I was like, I ordered an Uber. It said it would be three minutes. It's not been three minutes.
And there was a bit of back and forth.
And one of them was like, get in your cab.
I was like, I won't get in my cab.
I'll do what I want.
And I, what do you mean?
I've ordered this Uber.
I've moaned this knock.
It's turned off.
And now I'm not getting in the Uber.
Because someone's telling you what to do.
But these two lads, I'm pretty sure they were gay, right?
They were staying at a travel lodge.
So it would have looked like a head cream.
Right.
So then one of them starts advancing towards us and i'm like what am i fucking doing
i've got punch drunk like in a couple of days like why am i getting in why am i in this ridiculous
argument with someone i'm probably gonna get along with if we meet under different circumstances
and i get in the cab and i just looked at the driver and i went did I just bottle it with a gay blood and then
and he started laughing
and I went
there's no good outcome
of that
I get the shit
kicked out of me
and I've got to go
oh this nail's gay
and it's your fucking
own ill preconceived
judgements to think
that he would be
at a disadvantage
because you know what it is
he's probably fucking
harder than most people
he's met because
he's had to deal with
adversity and bullying
and fucking all kinds
of shit
so that guy is probably
fucking tougher than you are
as a street guy.
Way, way more nails than me.
And also,
the other bit of me thought,
if I win this fight,
all that's going to happen is
Comedian Elliot Steele,
homophobic attack.
Yeah, it looks bad, right?
Then another Sophie Hagen post
comes out going,
I knew it.
And if you get beat,
your friends behind closed doors
will fucking go back to the archaic way of insult
and be like you got beat by a gay guy
yeah exactly
what is this the 90s
but this is the other thing why I never got any
from the confidence
of Muay Thai when I fight
I don't have any because I look at the people
in my gym and none of them look like they could
beat you in a fight not a lot of them do no and not a lot of them do so i always think what the fuck
does everyone else train because i'm soft as shit it's like what is everyone else doing yeah you
never like second guess anyone it's a fucking gamble if you're gonna get into a fight a rule
in the dice with are they imagine imagine someone new jujitsu and then you're just on the floor
being choked and you're like
slightly turned on and slightly they don't have to fucking like answer to the top when it's a
street fight you know you start tapping their arm and they're like what you think i'm gonna stop
yeah you know you just be a big joke please i'm sorry i'll order another rooibos uncle uncle
daddy
so yes
I'm going to put it
in my corner
that
to summarise
what yours was
people who
start learning
this thing
it's mainly
a martial art
and start talking
like they're an
authority for it
yeah
you notice it
sometimes with
stand ups
like if you do
I noticed it
one time I was doing red roar at the stand and Iups. Like if you do a, I've noticed it one time
I was doing Red Raw at the stand
and I was closing it
and there was a guy I was chatting to
who didn't realise I was closing it
and I was a pro comedian
and started dishing out stand-up advice.
It happens a lot in Red Raw.
And it's that very much
that new guy posturing.
They think everybody else is an open spot.
Yeah.
So chat to everybody
as if they're the better open spot.
Yeah.
And you walk in as a pro guy
about to do some new shit.
Yeah.
You have to be given advice by someone.
And you sit there and take it.
Yeah.
And you sit there going, oh, yeah, cool, I'll try that.
Yeah, I'll email them.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, what's that?
What is it you do?
Try write a new joke every day.
Cool, yeah.
Try write topical more.
Cool.
Do you want any
special introductions
when I walk in
yeah
anybody trying to
be an authority
on something
that they're new at
it's like none of us
are going to be doing
seminars about
fucking white
why the fuck
would we
start acting like
we know
I had a great one
and also
hold on
we'll just wrap
the corner and the other one is if. And also, hold on, we'll just wrap the Muggle Corner
and the other one is
if you're paying for money on Fortnite.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Any variation of that way,
it doesn't affect the game any,
but makes you look pretty.
Yeah.
Like fucking 20 quid.
Go to the shop and buy clothes.
