Sloss and Humphreys on the road!
Muggins and Cream, creaming muggins, straight thuggin', living the dream
And that's our intro
Fucking muggles!
Tickling the clit inside your head that makes you laugh
Woohoo!
Hahaha!
They said it can't be done!
Are we in the same seats?
That's hack!
Ah, muggles!
Accidental rim job in the park
Kiss kiss kiss
Or am I just being cynical?
Just muggled it up on fucking Mugglepedia!
Where have you been since 9-11?
Mug and save our gracious cream.
Mug and save our noble cream.
Mug and save...
It's not my country's national anthem.
Our princes and nuns.
Which one?
Just one of them.
Prince Andrew.
He has a big pedo in him.
Our prince.
The prince of our realm.
We have a realm that you're part of.
There's a prince of it.
He's a pedo.
He probably has sex with underage sex trafficked women.
Girls.
So I watched the Dispatchers episode on Epstein.
Aye. And then I watched the interview withatchers episode on Epstein. Aye.
And then I watched the interview with Prince Andrew.
Fuck me.
That was the epitome of a guilty man.
Aye.
That's what a guilty man looks like.
There has to be a breaking point at some point soon in society.
Because we're just being lied to all the time.
Yeah.
And I'm currently catching up on the story that behind the bastards
put together on him they didn't they don't want Epstein yeah yeah so they did
a two-parter in March which I've nearly finished episode one and then come to
the podcast and then there's episode two was like back-to-back episodes and
they've done like a re-up so that's why I've went back listen to them they've
done like a re-up recently and but fuck me man the amount of people that are
connected with him like fucking Bill Clinton took 11 flights on his private
jet in in a space of a year and there was always girls on the flight and he's
got this private island that fucking Stephen Hawking's been to and fucking
he's been away with Chris Tucker.
Like, there's people who you're fucking... You're liking Stephen Hawking or was it not?
Well, probably not, but, like,
anybody that goes anywhere with him now,
you just think, all right, aye, what the fuck you up to?
Aye.
So, it's like, there's so many people embroiled
in just going to his private island,
going up on his jets with these girls on.
Really push off people who have private islands.
And Donald Trump was fucking quoted saying,
Jeffrey Epstein likes girls almost as much as I do.
Young girls.
He just said it as if the guy's a legend.
Right. That's the president fucking Prince Andrew
fucking Clinton
it's fucked up
it's the
power hungry psychopaths, that's what it is
it's Prince Andrew the Queen's son
what? it's Prince Andrew the Queen's son
yes
well, sorry Liz, you raised a pedo.
What a fucking...
Do you reckon that trumps unconditional love?
What a fucking stain on her...
As much as...
First of all, she's a stain herself, so...
I don't...
She has actually dealt with a fucking weird, weird fucked up situation with Grace.
And I know there's like,
there's probably fucking a dark history
to my decisions.
Like Diana's death was probably dubious.
Epstein's death is 100% dubious.
You're roaming into conspiracy theory here, but.
But she's fucking maintained dignity the whole time.
She's what, like 97 years old?
Yeah, she's maintained dignity as an unelected ruler of a country
that predominantly fucking dislikes it, yes.
She's handled that really well.
She's handled, like, just ceremoniously given one of the most
backwards fucking things in the entire world
with an unlimited amount of money.
She's handled that very well.
God bless her.
What a wonderful woman.
Aye, it should have ended her.
It should have ended her.
It should have ended her.
She's done, like, you know what?
She had it.
She had it.
Given that it's the fucking, it's the information age and we didn't need a monarch and a queen,
she's fucking held up that ornament of a monarch very well
when she goes just let
the whole thing go
she could have, she had the chance
to win over Scotland
by when Boris Johnson
was, because she has to confirm every point with her
she could have just said nah
she could have just said nah and we all would have won
alright let's back on your side
save the union.
She's actually, as far as I'm concerned,
and this is based on that we didn't refute,
she's done nothing useful.
People say she brings in tourism.
But to your part of the fucking country.
To your country, not mine.
She's good for London.
She's good for London.
Shout for the rest of it. And her sons and aunts. Sons and aunts, that's just good for London. Ah, it's just good for London. Shout for the rest of it.
And her sons and aunts.
Ah, sons and aunts, that's the kicker.
Like, if you raise a pedo, you've failed.
Like, you've got to... And if you don't beat yourself up for raising a pedo,
I do think it's society's job to beat you up for raising a pedo.
Not physically, I'm not suggesting you punch the kid.
Well, she should fucking
behead him
she should demand
a fucking inquiry
she should demand
that he gets
like
should she do anything
she's 90 odd years
old man
she's a fucking
old woman
she's a
she's knocking on
a hundred
shouldn't she be
expected to do
anything at this
point in her life
just sit in your
fucking rocking chair
with your corgis
running around
knitting away
just describe my life
I'm looking forward
to her death
just so the money
changes
not that I think
she deserves to die
just think it'd be
cool to be part of
a generation that
gets to watch
the stamps change
I'd say you're
excited for that
aren't you
you fucking muggle
alright
you got your little
as far as I'm concerned you got your 50 pence
piece from the coronation
it'll be
it'll be the only
fucking interesting thing
she's ever done
in her life
is this the fucking
another massive
like unnecessary spend
to change all the currency
would you
would you
would you recall
all the currency
and then put new stuff out
or would you just
would you just weed it out
like you know
when they put the new
20s in
the plastic 20s
it'll be that bye they're not going to give you just the next batch they you know when they put the new 20s in the plastic 20s it would be that
they're not going to
give you
just the next batch
they're just going to
be looking at old pitch
and be like
who's this pitch
I don't fucking
recognize this
the queen
well
can't accept this money
do you think
Charles would though
do you think Charles
would be like
I don't even
accept that
and you're like
it's legal 10 down
it would be an
incredibly English
thing to do
is to not accept
currency for
arbitrary reasons
so yes
aye that is true um aye so that's what I've been doing mostly is fucking um listening to Epstein
and Prince Andrew stuff well while knitting your Christmas jumper that's well underway
oh yours is well underway I gave it a break because... You're further than me.
I went for the easier method.
So you've got like really thick wool.
Mm-hmm, thick needles.
Thick needles, like 11...
Size 11, 11 millimeter?
Aye.
Is that what it is, 11 millimeter?
Yep.
Right, so you've got them needles, so yours grew like quickly.
In a matter of days, you've done the full front of the jumper.
No but.
You have any up to the shoulders?
Up to the collar?
Yeah absolutely.
You need to start shaping the collar.
So I taught you how to shape the collar last time and now we've both forgotten.
So we're going to have to sit down together.
The annoying thing about knitting is there is no one way to do it.
So you type it, I just assumed you just go and Google you go how do you work around the
collar and it goes well which one it. I just assumed you just go and Google and you go, how do you work around the collar?
And it goes,
well, which one of these
76 methods were you using?
And you go,
oh, for fucking...
Yeah.
That was like
when I learned the Rubik's Cube.
You just had to pick a method
and stick to it.
There was a handful
of different methods
for the algorithms.
I figured it's just something
that you just,
there's just too many methods
and also,
same problem
I've always fucking encountered
with fucking knitting fucking learning that online
right
and I'm gonna be
sexist here
right
fucking
you sluts
need to fucking
slow the fuck
down on how
you teach things
fundamentally
what I've learned
the difference
between men and women
right
is that
I need things
explained to me
a lot of times
and then I'll be able
to do it on my own
forever
whereas women pick things up in a millisecond and every man is stupid beyond comparison I need things explained to me a lot of times and then I'll be able to do it on my own forever.
Whereas women pick things up in a millisecond and every man is stupid beyond comparison.
I've noticed that the women on YouTube
teaching you how to knit
are teaching you assuming you already know how to do it.
Yeah.
They're just like doing like a quick recap
on this is what you do.
Whereas the men that teach you how to do it are like,
okay, I know you're retarded.
Yeah, they go, all right, all right, dumbass.
With your right hand, pick up this bit of string and you go good now what and he goes
with your same hand wrap this string around the right stick and you go good got it then with your
left hand take this bit of the string and put a bit and you go fucking this is spot on this is how
you women are like once you've found
the second curve
all you have to do
is you need to take
the second part
of the first stitch
and you go
we're 35 seconds
into an instruction video
how the fuck
have you already
gone to code lunch
you're using
stuff I'm not familiar with
so I've
I've went for
the thinnest
wall I could find
in the small
four millimetre needles
so that I can have
each stitch as a pixel
so I can draw a picture.
Now I have come across
a couple of obstacles.
First obstacle is
doing that method
takes for fucking ever
to knit a jumper
because every stitch
like there's a
so mine in the round
is 260 stitches.
So that means when I separate it's 130 so if i do 131 way 130 back 130 the other way 130 back i am moving at a fucking snail's pace doing a dot
matrix print of this picture now the second problem i come up with is the picture i took
i made a grid out of it and then I chose which colour would go on each square
so I had a bit of mental gymnastics to do
because if you grid a picture into pixels,
if it transitions from red to black,
it'll have red, then burgundy, then a lighter black.
So you've got to decide, right,
I'm going to have to make this red up until a very solid point
and then it turns black
because I'm not going to do the gradient like that.
So I had to rearrange the gradient of the picture like that.
And then the other obstacle was
the pixels are squares.
Now, knitting isn't squares.
It's like kind of oblongs.
Or not even.
It's not...
If you do 100 stitches by 100 rows, it's not going to do if you do a hundred stitches
by a hundred rows
it's not going to be
an exact square
so I had to work out
the ratio
and then I had to
add rows
at this point
at this point
you're just doing
what every woman
in YouTube tutorials does
yeah
it's all you're doing
it's all you're doing
you're just explaining
something overly complex
as if it's a simple thing
no but it's
it's complicated to me too
but I'm having to figure
this out as I go
and I think
I might have done it
but there was one point
where I've got fucking
seven balls of wool
on the go at one time
and I'm just like
why have I fucking
committed to this
I kind of
I just
I think that's
one of the main problems
with what I'm slowly realising
is it's one of the oldest ideas in the world,
which is I think men process...
Men and women actually do process things differently.
And as a liberal, that's hard to take on board
because you go, everyone's equal, we're all the same.
And then you go, oh, no, we're not.
Well, if men and women were exactly the same,
there would be no transgender.
No.
Because that means there is differences between us and
that's how you can tell that you're in the wrong body because you go i'm different i'm not i'm not
the same as the other people who have this now we're getting now we're two white men getting
onto a conversation over the difference between gender and sexes and i'll be honest with you i
can't be fucked ever joining that debate in my life i'm not going near it i'm not touching it
i'm not i've got no interest in it. I don't
know enough about it to add any useful
bits of information to the poll. But you just went near it.
You went near it just by suggesting that.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fine, because I understand men. I know
nothing about trans issues, so if you want to jump into that
pool, fucking enjoy it. I'm not going
anywhere near that swimming pool. Enjoy
your swim. Enjoy your swim. I'm
going over to the paddling pool.
So for you, it's a minefield.
You were just like,
that's a minefield.
My opinion's probably wrong
and I'm going to step on one of them mines
and I'm high profile enough
to get fucking into big trouble for that.
I could probably go through that minefield
totally untouched
until I get some level of fame
and then all of a sudden
a soundbite will get took off the podcast and all of a sudden I sound about I'll get took off
the podcast
and all of a sudden
I'm transphobic
it's not even that
I don't have anything
to
man
we live in a world now
where everyone's asked
for their opinion
and everything
and I go
I don't care what
your opinion is on that
I don't care what
your opinion is on that
I don't care what
your opinion is on that
why are you telling me
these people's opinions
on this
someone I don't care about
their opinion
on something else
I don't care about
so I'm nominating myself or I'm being responsible someone I don't care about their opinion on something else I don't care about so I'm nominating
myself or I'm being responsible
and going I do my opinion
on trans rights is not
interesting nor new
nor there's no reason for it to exist
and if I do have one it doesn't belong
in the world because it's not contusive
to everything but because we live in a world
where people weaponise fucking opinions of everyone
I'm not giving it I'm not giving it because i'm not having anything brought out of fucking context
if you want to talk about trans issues go ahead i'm not interested in this discussion
well i definitely think uh gender is in in the main and it's a society-based thing
and it's not to do with your body type as such because i i'm gonna go fucking hell i'm gonna get there right body type i think
is binary is that the word for it binary when there's one or the other like a dead body can
be identified as male or female but your personality can be anywhere along the spectrum of what society
expects from a male and female and the way men think and women think. As you just mentioned, men can think different to women.
And we're not equal in that respect.
So you can be born with a woman's mind and a man's body.
I think this is an utterly pointless discussion.
But it's going to segue nicely into Andrew Maxwell's In The Jungle.
Aye, with Caitlyn Jenner.
With Caitlyn Jenner.
That'll be interesting because then you actually get to hear
someone whose
opinion on
the subject
does matter
Andrew Maxwell
aye Andrew
Maxwell
mind you
Caitlyn Jenner
has regardless
of what
she's done
for trans
rights
she still
killed a
person
yeah she
ran someone
over didn't
she
I found
that out
when we were
watching South
Park and
she just
knocked someone
over randomly
and then you
paused it
and you were
like fucking you know that actually happened.
She killed someone and then had enough money to get away with it.
Much like Cesar Azpilicueta.
Did he do that too?
Murderer.
Oh.
Aye.
You know what though?
That would actually suck to just be, you're living your life, you're Daniel Sloss, you're having a nice time, your success is doing well, you're having this leg tour, you've got your girlfriend, you've living your life your dials loss you having a nice time your success is doing well
Yeah, having this like to a you've got your girlfriend. You've got your house
You just everything's everything's nice and ticking over you have your complaints
But the arbitrary on the scheme of things and then all of a sudden
Somebody fucking steps out into your car where you're doing five mile an hour ten mile an hour over the speed limit, right?
and
Your life's fucking completely different. completely different but was was that what
happened with her i'm not sure well is that what happened with her now no but i'm just saying like
you know that that that is something i live in fear of right is like accidentally like in a car
accident accidentally fucking killing someone because even if i was within the fucking speed
limits they jumped out like that's still on me that's still on my mind i still i still pointed the car in that direction and pressed the fucking accelerator
into that human being and mashed them up and the soul left the body like that would fucking suck
man depends for me it fully depends like do you do you think that sorry that cut off uh well
fully depends like for example I I totally agree
I had a friend
from high school
who killed someone
in a car crash
went to prison for
two years
because of it
and
I was just like
I was prison
he goes
he's like
easy piece of piss
doesn't matter
I have to live with this
for the rest of my life
the prison's not the punishment
he's like
the prison is
I killed my best friend
and I have to live with that
every single day
for the rest of my fucking life
and I'm like yeah that that every single day for the rest of my fucking life. And I'm like, yeah, that absolutely fucking, like, I imagine
killing someone plays, you know, things in your head. That being said, there's definitely
places in Fife, in coastal Fife in Scotland where I grew up, where it's like, there's
a 20 mile an hour zone here and it's between like a brick wall and a path and that is still 20 miles
an hour at four in the morning i'm of the opinion if you're crossing from that pavement to that wall
at four in the morning and i hit you at 30 miles an hour i should be able to kill you at that point
because what were you doing like i don't think i don't think speed limits should be rigid across
the board every single time of day yeah or much like
my plans with airports
I think there should be other
there should be the basic level driver's licence
which is hey can you drive a car
you go yeah I can drive a car
you can drive these cars
this is what you're fucking training
but if you go to like an extra six months
of fucking training there's another
motorway that you
get to use
because you're
just
I just
I think
there's
not to segregate
society
I just give
people sirens
I mean I think
I can hear that
picked up on the
mic
on the mac
but
that guy
that guy's got
his extra license
that lets him go
faster than everyone
else
when he presses
a button
just become a
policeman
so I don't know what happened with Caitlin Jenner or then Bruce to go faster than everyone else when he presses a button. Just become a policeman.
So,
I don't know what happened with Caitlyn Jenner
or then Bruce
when she hit the person
with the vehicle,
but I'm assuming
she didn't aim it at them
and murder them.
Well, let's find out.
Let's Google it together
and find out how much
of a murderer she is.
Oh, I spell it quite as.
So, like, I mean,
it absolutely sucks
that that happens
and if they were drunk
or speeding
or anything like that,
yes, they were at fault
for manslaughter
but that's a fucking
sucky thing
they have to live with
yeah
ugh
I mean it sucks more
for the other person
so
that's where
that's where
something really goes
erm
are you looking it up
yep
should I probably
I should probably
fill this air with something.
I'm talking about my British shake now.
So now I'm going to let them know if any of the new listeners
are wondering what we're talking about,
Andrew Maxwell's in the jungle,
the OG listeners will understand that Andrew Maxwell
is a good friend of Daniel and I,
and he is the main face of Altitude Festival,
which we frequent every year, most years at least.
And when we were at Altitude last time, he was on this podcast.
He's been on the podcast previous to that.
He's a friend of the podcast and now is in the jungle with Ian Wright and Caitlyn Jenner and a bunch of other celebrities.
And it's fucking bizarre for us.
Like last night, he paired up with,
I'm forgetting the name of the lady he paired up with.
What was she called?
The TV presenter?
I was really stunned.
I was super stunned last night.
It was so bizarre
because my fucking phone blew up
because Maxwell had become a meme
and everybody...
He didn't become a meme.
I think he was just in a couple of memes.
He became a meme
because everybody took a picture of memes he became a meme because everybody
took a picture
of the screen
and went
are they hoping
to find Madeline
as Kate and Jerry McCann
in the jungle
and the pair of them
next to a photo
of Kate and Jerry McCann
looked identical
so that
trended on the internet
and everybody
who knows that
we know Maxwell
well not so much you
because no one's
got your number anymore
everybody sent me a version of the picture of Kate and Jerry McCann so I'm just fucking who knows that we know Maxwell, well, not so much you, because no one's got your number anymore.
Everybody sent me a version of the picture of Kate and Jerry McCann,
so I'm just fucking watching Maxwell in the jungle.
And then all of a sudden,
I'm just getting loads of fucking Maddie McCann memes.
He didn't just become a meme,
he became a Maddie meme.
Which, you know,
it'll be interesting to see how that goes for his career.
He's recognisable now.
People have seen him.
But the thing with Maxwell is, he's a now people have seen him like he's but the thing with maxwell is he's a
fucking solid personality he's a great guy and he's gonna come across well in that he said my
love a few times and become a catchphrase oh it's gonna be you know it was cute about the my love
thing when he said i don't know if um i don't know if you're in the whatsapp group or whatever
but um he said my love a few times to his partner to try and help her through the um
through the walking the plank thing at a height and then um maxwell sent a picture there sorry flynn his son sent a picture of a screen cap from uh soraya his wife saying that this is the last thing
she sent him before he went in
and it was like this picture with goodbye my love
written at the bottom, so Soraya said to him
goodbye my love and then
he repeated my love
back a few times which was a subliminal message
to her. I think you're
assuming that Max was a sweetheart and
my love isn't just a fucking common phrase that
everyone says. That they use.
You think that's not like when she sent that message. You reckon and assuming that Maxwell's a sweetheart and my love isn't just a fucking common phrase that everyone says that they use I
you think that's not like
when she sent that message
you reckon he misses her
that much
on day one
day one
day one he's talking in code
when he doesn't need
to talk in code
like it's not gonna
not missing that
he's just sending this
subliminal is he not
no I don't
the last message she sent
was go on Maxwell's
Instagram
his son posted it
on his Instagram.
And have a look.
That's to the people listening.
I'm going to say coincidence as opposed to tactics.
Maybe the seed was planted.
That word got put in his head.
Not even that.
I think you've gone Natalie Stargazing logic here.
Post-hoc.
Shut up.
How is this fucking, like, how is this Hocus Pocus?
Literally, his wife
said to him
hours
hours before
goodbye my love
and then he shouts
my love on TV
three times
I've never heard
Maxwell say my love
I have several times
the second of all
that's before he goes in
you don't know when
they get their phone
taken off them
you don't know
what the situation is
so he might not have
seen that message
he might not
but that could have
been filmed before
because that was
before he went
in the actual
fucking jungle
right
so they're obviously not giving their phones before they go into the physical jungle but that was not them in before he because that was before he went in the actual fucking jungle right so they're obviously
not giving their phones
before they go into
the physical jungle
but that was not them
in the physical jungle
that was them
filming on a rooftop
so I'm going to
safely assume
that that was
pre-recorded
it was two separate times
it's
there's
I would put
confident amounts
of money on it
that it was
that it was not
a conscious reply
to the message
you got just before
he went in
not at all
not even remotely.
All right.
I think it's absolute conspiracy and conjecture.
Wow.
I guess that's so implausible.
He read a message from his wife and then repeated the sentiments a couple of times on TV.
You know what I mean?
It's so implausible.
Such a fucking far-fetched, elaborate.
But he's not in prison. I'm so implausible such a fucking far-fetched elaborate I think but for such a
but for not like
he's not in prison
it's not like
he needs to
Blake Eswit
like he could just be like
I missed my wife
like why does it have to be
no he's just being fun
no I think
I think he was just
calling someone my love
in the same way
I call people lovely
other people call
other people gorgeous
oh but it's
no it's like it's not like he's got limited screen time.
There's 11 of them, right?
And he's not the most famous one out of them, possibly the least, right?
So he's got limited screen time.
So he's not going to use his screen time to just go,
I got your text, baby.
Here's my look.
Like, he's just going to.
But why on, like, day one when he spoke to her,
he's like, I miss you already.
That's not I miss you already.
It's just like a fucking subliminal...
It works in the moment and it's letting them know.
It's sending the message back home.
It's fucking smart. It's nice.
If it is true, Max was the biggest loser I've ever met in my life.
And I guess I have more respect for him than that.
Nah. I just, I guess I have more respect for him than that. Nah.
I just think it's sound.
I just think it's really sound if that's what happened.
It's like, I got a message and I didn't get a reply against me
before and got took off because I'm just going to fucking show this
when I'm on the plane.
Or that was just planted in his head.
You think it's just absolute sheer coincidence
that he's the way you sent him a message
and then he repeated that message three times on TV.
You think that's just sheer coincidence?
Well, sure, sure.
When you frame it that way...
What, the way it is?
No, no, no.
All right, it's not going to be one of those podcasts.
You're going to worry about your moods.
Next topic.
What do you mean, one of my moods?
You're going to worry about your moods.
Next topic.
Go.
Wait, one of my moods means you've got a point,
you're so confident with it that you're just going to drill it home and I'm going to back out.
What do you want?
This could be the podcast.
What do you want?
What?
What do you want?
I want you to move on.
So, why?
Oh, right, okay, we're in Germany.
Let's do that.
We're in East Germany now, aren't we?
I'm assuming it is.
We're in Leipzig.
I don't know where it is.
So we went from being in Berlin and stuff
where everything's very modern.
I say modern.
And now we're in Leipzig where everything just seems 80s.
It's fucking too Romanian to be Germany.
And I mean that as a full insult to Romania.
Yeah, it just seems to be like that Eastern,
that Poland vibe, doesn't it?
Just going to the parts of the world where you just go...
It's like every time you go to Spain,
you just feel like going,
didn't nobody tell you that you were a First World country?
Italy too.
Italy too, aye.
So I think, I'm just assuming Leipzig's in East Germany,
just because I feel like there's the...
I haven't looked
at a map
in the fucking
longest time
I sometimes
wake up in the morning
and don't know
where I am
or where I'm going next
I just know
that I've got to be
in the lobby
at fucking
a certain time
I'm just
bamboozled
by the whole thing now
it's East
I guess
it is
so yeah
it will be to do
with the divide
and the Berlin Wall
and like
one side of the country growing and westernising
while the other side is still Soviet.
Well, mind you, this is on the same side as Berlin and Munich and so on,
so it's got no excuse.
Was Munich on the east side of Berlin?
Munich's on the...
Well, I mean, I don't know enough about...
I don't know anything.
I just know that we fucking drove for five hours
and went back in time for fucking...
I know David Hasselhoff got rid of the wall.
That's as much as I know.
I spoke to one of your fans
in Munich
and David Hasselhoff
had gigged in Munich
recently
and
similar sized venue
to what you did
and when
they bought tickets ironically
which I imagine
most people do
same with my show yeah
and
they only filled the room
quarter so that's what David Hassel yeah and they'll only fill the room quarter
so that's what
David Hasloff
is up to at the minute
quarter filling rooms
where he sings
I feel like
I obviously
can't speak
for my fucking
future self
but I really hope
that if the world
does survive
to the point
where I'm beyond
50 years old
which I again
do not believe
for a second will happen but if it does and the weather where I'm beyond 50 years old, which I, again, do not believe for a second will happen.
But if it does, and whether
sometimes it's seven or so, I hope I know when
to fucking retire.
I know I have that thing of just
like, you know, just
being able to go, right, my heyday is
behind me, and I'm just going to have to
accept that this is a point in my life where
I'll focus on being a dad or a granddad
as opposed to
desperately
I mean
I was about to say
no disrespect
no disrespect
for Jim Davidson
but what am I scared of
full disrespect
to Jim Davidson
the fuck's he doing
just ringing it out
Roy Chubby Brown
Roy Chubby Brown
just ringing out
every last drop
just admit it's over
just
but would it be
undignified to go
right you know say if you have like say if this is your hair day now and it's peaked but would it be undignified to go right you know
say if you have like
say if this is your
heyday now
and it's peaked
and you're doing
you're doing your like
1500 seat of venue
on average
some more
some less
but
in four figures
but then like
your retirement
was just plain
like 200
300
just like what we were
doing a couple years ago
would that be the end
of the world
no no absolutely not but if it was 200 people doing a couple of years ago would that be the end of the world? no no absolutely not
but if it was 200 people
in a 1500 seat
absolutely
100%
that's an unplayable gig
just die
just know you're
know where you're at
but at that point
the second I did
one of those tours
I would go right
now it's time to
fucking reassess
maybe I'm not
maybe I'm not
touring competition
is it worth writing
a new show anymore
if it's just going to be
underwhelming compared to last year?
And if it, yeah, yeah.
Should I just give it a couple of years before I write one
and try and make it better?
All right.
Try and still improve?
Is the reason less people showing up
because I'm getting shitter?
And if that's okay,
because this is something I've discussed.
Or is it because I've stayed at the same level,
but everybody else around me has just got so much better?
I think one of the problem,
poison challenges of success in comedy, and I don't know if we've
spoken about this before,
but one of the big problems that happens is
comedians get really, really famous
because they're really, really fucking good
and then there comes a point where a lot of them become
shit and people go, they went shit because
they went mainstream and you go, well no, it's because
they stopped having real audiences
to gig to. Like Michael McIntyre,
Ricky Gervais,
Lee Evans, Bill Burr, Dave Chappelle,
Eddie, and all of these comedians, these greats.
It's impossible for them to do a gig to a neutral.
It's impossible for them.
There's no point.
When you do comedy as a known one,
or as a lesser fucking known,
a lot of the time
you're walking into an audience
where most of the audience
don't know who you are
to make strangers laugh
is very very difficult
because you have to
first of all go on
get material that gets you liked
and then get them laughing
so you have to make this audience
like your personality
get used to your personality
and then make them laugh
at things with your sort of thing
and with a 5-10 minute spell
that's very very hard to do
but that's what creates the best comics.
You get people to come on, like, calm stage,
where they're just, their personas are just there instantly.
Bill Burr is a good example.
You know, they come on stage,
their personality's just there,
and you get fully fucking on board with it.
But then you become famous for, like,
Richard Vey's and Michael Markle's specific personalities.
You don't have
you don't have to win
the audience over
which is a real
sort of thing
we've already got them
but you'll never win
over neutrals again
in your life
you'll never win
over the middleman
because you're only
getting to your own people
and you can rip them
with fucking anything
and if you're in a room
full of people
who don't know you
if you're Michael McIntyre
like who are those people
have they been under a rock
do they have televisions
but they're also
but they're also going to have that fucking attitude of they're going to have in their head,
Michael McInerney's not funny.
Because the reason Michael McInerney's not funny, despite the fact that he's been going for 20 years,
I saw him do five minutes on six o'clock primetime television.
And in that five minutes, he didn't make me, a fat loser from Nottingham, laugh.
Therefore, Michael McIteer's not funny.
You go, no, no, it's just, you know.
Anyway, so my point was I'm worried that there's a point where comedians get to where you stop having a neutral audience to gig to.
And it's not challenging anymore.
Like, you have to go out there and, you know.
Yeah, I think you'd still be able to play to neutral audiences.
For a bit aye
because like
say if you go to
the comedy store right
that's a room
like that's a room
full of comedy fans
so there's going to be
a large percentage of them
know who you are
but if you
but they're still
but they're not there
as my fans
they're not there
to see you
and then a few people
will be like
oh that's that guy
and there'll be a few people
going hey oh yeah
I've seen his picture
on Netflix or whatever
but I haven't clicked on it
so you'll have like
a range of people
that have never seen you
have seen you
but haven't looked at your work
to people that are like
oh my fucking god
I'm a fan of this guy
so you're going to have
that range
so you'll have
a varied audience
you'll have an audience
that you've still got to win
most of them over
or some of them over
but that's the comedy store
where it's comedy
literate people
but you could quite easily
get up on a fucking
comedy loft gig
with the old junglers
and they'll just be like
stag and hen parties
and birthday parties
are we considering that
a real comedy audience though?
I mean I can play them
but this is where we get
but is that a real comedy audience?
I mean I've been on stage
with a fucking
laughing their heads off
all the time
like are you saying
that you couldn't
go on and do that?
I could
I could
but it's one of those
I could but I wouldn't
want to
because I just go
well first of all
and this is
specifically me
I've always been
a comedian
that could not
be asked for
the fucking challenge
people
I've not done
late in life
since I was
I've done it once
yeah that's another
example
but saying that
late in life
it's the fringe
a lot of people
would know who you were so you the fringe a lot of people would know
who you were
so you'd have
a bit of benefit of the doubt
I just don't
you know
it's like
you don't like
the comedy
tent at music festivals
so much
because
because that's very similar
even though people are
there to watch comedy
and enjoy it
they're not
stag and hen parties
but they are
party goers
aye well it's just because sometimes I haven't fucking it's mainly material and enjoy it they're not stagging hen parties but they are party goers aye
well it's just because
sometimes
it's because I haven't
fucking
it's mainly material
man if I could go back
to fucking club stuff
I wouldn't mind
what I fucking played
because I'd have
20 minutes of club material
I haven't had club material
in fucking ages
can I go on stage
and just
I can't fucking do
a music festival gig
and start talking about
fucking toxic masculinity
and rape
aye
yeah because that's the direction
you've took
with the last few shows
is that
is the
hard
difficult
to challenge topics
at the end of the show
like the loss of
like loss of your family
your sister
and
just want to talk about
drugs and shagging again
yeah
that's
that's what I
that's what I do
in class
aye
my next show I'm not gonna I day it's class my next show
I'm not gonna
I can't be
challenging anything
ever again
I'm gonna go in there
just with fucking
porridge comedy
but you know
what we're saying
about the
when you know
you fell off
when am I gonna
retire and be a
grandad
like that's
that's an option
for somebody
who's like
made that money
and invested it
well and stuff
that but if you
just like rely
on a regular wage
like a club comedian like I am,
I know I've borrowed a career off you by coming along with you,
but I'm a club comic,
I don't think there'd be any indignity in being in my fucking 60s
and going away for the weekend to do a gig
as long as I was still making them laugh,
as long as I was still keeping up with the young'uns.
And then also, yeah, as long as...
As long as I wasn't getting bitter about people not booking us
you're right, I think it's also
down to what you fucking, like if David Hasselhoff
is loving those gigs, then who the
fuck am I to feel like I wouldn't do that
if he's still, because you know
yeah just book a smaller venue, fucking
play a crowd of Nathan
at midspace, don't over
stretch it
I think it's down I think it's down to
fucking
it's also how you
fucking perceive your
audience
am I going
am I going out to
gig to these people
because I've got
something to say
or am I going out
to the gig to these
people because I
want money
I
I
I really like both
they're both part of it
like I'm not gonna
fucking
like I
I would not have
done and I'm gonna be on to fucking I would not have done
and I'm going to
be on the record
I would not
have done
this last year
of touring
if it were not
for money
but after
December 14th
there is not
an amount of
cash in the world
that will ever
make me perform
this show ever again
because you've just
done it too many times
I've done it over
the years
there's not
an amount of money
in the world
that can make me perform
this fucking
showcase
because you've just
water tortured yourself
you've just
you've just death by a million
cut yourself
like
you know what it reminds us of
a little bit
I remember when
you know
when I was like
a little pov kid
getting sweets was like
fucking beg your mum
mum can I have a Snickers
mum mum mum
can I have a marathon
whatever they called it
and then you'd get one
and you'd be chuffed
because you got your sweets
right
and then
when you become like
15, 16
you start like
getting your own money
from different revenue streams
whether that's your fucking
pay out of run
your first job
like
you start getting
a bit of money
of your own right
and then you go
I can buy any amount
of sweets I want
and that's what I did
and I'm like
oh no you need
to ration this
you can't just have
like fucking nine Snickers
you need money
for other things
it's toast
but yeah
buy some Skittles
you fucking chocolate
you chocolate fucking freak
so it's like
it's that thing
where you're like
oh I want this thing
so much that I'm fucking willing to beg for it and then you get you get it a that thing where you're like oh I want this thing so much that I'm
fucking willing to
beg for it
and then you get
you get it a million times
and you're going
whoa
it's that famous thing
too much of anything
it's always
Bruce Bogtrotter
and his cake
too much of fucking
everything
yeah so
at the minute though
like so you
you had like a bit
of a fucking
ugh
a couple of weeks ago
the reason
the reason the podcast
has fucking been slowed
coming out
it's fucking
we've been on tour
for 18 fucking months
we've been on tour
for 18 fucking months
we're on Groundhog Day now
like it's like
I've got nothing to say
and to be fair
one thing I will say
one thing I will say
I do appreciate
but podcast listeners
is
they're getting
everyone understands
yeah
like this is
because you don't want to come on when you're like jaded when you're not because I've got nothing to say yeah that everyone understands yeah like this is because
you don't want to come on
when you're like
jaded
when you're not
because
I've got nothing to say
yeah
and it's
it's a
it's hotel
airport
soundcheck
gig
restaurants
can you tell us
what your favourite thing
about Germany
I can't
it's no different
one thing I've learned
about travelling
one thing I've learned
about travelling
is everyone
in every country
is the absolute fucking same.
And you know what?
A lot of the time racism doesn't make sense.
We're all the same.
We're all gross.
We're all idiots.
And all of society sucks no matter what part of the fucking world you go to.
Every person in every airport doesn't matter if they're black, white, Asian, gay, straight, women, trans.
Everyone fucking sucks.
Everyone sucks in a fucking airport.
Scummy parts of every country in the world are scummy, right?
There are fat fucking cats everywhere.
There are idiots fucking everywhere.
There are horrible people everywhere.
Like, across the world, across the world,
shite fucking exists.
And you know what?
We get to experience it every fucking day.
So that's my opinion.
In all different cultures.
All different cultures.
You just want to be in the house, don't you?
I want to be.
I never want to see another person in my fucking life.
Because I don't get anywhere near as
wound up by people
as you do
I fucking hate them
but I do go through
days where I'm like
I just
can I have a day
where I don't have to
interact with people
because we
like we'll require
service on a daily basis
we need to be served
like
are you not excited
for the next time
you don't need to be
served by someone
I never
I never want to
and it's lovely
what they're doing
they're providing a
service
are they
no
nah
they're not providing
a service
they are
some people
some people provide
a service
they're at work
there's poor people
at work with their
own soul and their
own story and they
fucking didn't want
to be serving us as
much as we do
but you know what
I fucking suck
I suck at a
river night and I
go do my job to
the best of my
fucking ability
so everyone else
can suck a fucking dick
I haven't wanted
to perform this show
since September last year
right
but you suck it up
and you go on stage
every day
and you do it
because there's people
because that's my job
I agreed to do this job
and I'll do it
that's my fucking job
do we need to address
the people who have got tickets
and they're really excited
to come see you now Danny
do we need to address
those guys
the will of the staff no no no this is stuff I'd never say publicly it's just on the podcast the people who have got tickets and they're really excited to come see you now Danny do we need to address those guys they will understand
no no no
this is stuff
I'd never say publicly
it's just on the podcast
because the podcast
listeners understand
they've been with us
fucking through this
publicly I'm not going to
say until after this tour's over
that I fucking hated
the last year of this tour
so yeah just know that
it's been a bit of a
fucking baller
getting to where you are
to do the performance
but we're delighted
to be there
to perform for you
it's the best
we appreciate the spliff
afterwards
because we fucking need it
it's the
the fucking
the show part of it
well I was about to say
it's not the problem
it is the problem
the whole part of it
is the problem
it's the fact that
I wrote this show
since before
your stag do
aye
and we're still doing it
and it's the same tour
and it's every day
and I do not
have the strength
to lie to people anymore
and go
I'm loving it
I'm not
aye but
I haven't loved this
in a long time
we're at like
well like
fucking mile 23
of a marathon now
and we've got like
three miles to go
I think we've got like
we've got ten days off we've got some new territories we've got like three miles to go I think we've got like we've got ten days off
we've got some new territories
we've got fucking Moscow
and Russia
which like
it'll be exciting
but I'm not
I'm not having
I'm not
and I don't think
it will happen
but I'm just going to say
what I'm not
fucking having
is people coming
you're being ungrateful
you go
no you
you lived my life
for the past 18 months
and then we'll see
how any of you
fucking feel
it's like at the end
when you're in your
fucking nice big house
and the settlement
comes through
you'll be going
I fucking earned this
you'll be like
because it's not
as much as
you're on stage
for an hour and a half
and maybe for less
it's
it consumes your life
it's an 18 month tour
it's an 18 month tour
it's a 24 hour job for 18 months.
And we have had our rest days.
No routine.
No routine.
No proper food.
No fucking schedule.
No...
You know, it's been...
What we've done fucking really well
is I don't think any of my relationships
with people are under pressure.
There's no stress on my relationship with my wife.
There's no stress on my relationship with my friends.
There's no stress on my relationship with me wife there's no stress on me relationship with me friends there's no stress on me relationship with me family thankfully and i think i think
it's just because they we've been on top of it we've like no i think i i think a lot of for me
it has been is especially changing the fucking phone number is i've made a distinction between
people now there are people, my deepest loved ones,
the ones who I know will be my friends for life,
who understand
what this tour is, right?
So they're not texting me.
Hey, how are you?
None of your fucking business.
Like, either get in contact
with me properly,
face to face,
or don't bother.
Don't fucking text me
while I'm overseas
and think you saying,
hey, how's you,
is you putting any more effort
into our relationship
than I'm putting into our well just asking how you are
just a name
yeah yeah
but that's what man
and it's all died
it's all died
it's all died
after I changed
I don't get any fucking text
randomly
of people just being like
hey how are you
fuck off
I find that with like
yeah a lot of the time
because I try to
reply to as much people
as I can
but sometimes
it's just too fucking heavy man
sometimes I'm just like
I'll open an Instagram inbox
or like
I'll see like five or six messages
that I could reply to
a lot of the times I know the people
or I'm familiar with the people
or I've befriended them through meeting them on the tours
and I realise that like
just replying to one is not just
like
it's not like whack-a-mole where
you reply to the fucking ones that are there you're sparking conversations with each of them
people and you end up having um long in-depth conversations with people that you like it's
it's tough enough keeping in communication with fucking parents and my wife you know like keeping
keeping them alive and then all of a sudden you're fucking spinning all these other little plates.
So it is tough but I've managed it.
I think I've managed
to not make anyone think
that I'm forgetting about them.
No, I've openly forgotten
about people
and if people take that personally
it's very much on them
and I'll cut them out of my life.
If you think me not talking to you
on this 18 month tour
is because I don't respect
you as a friend guess what i no longer respect you as a friend that's a level of neediness i don't
need in my fucking life i've been on the road for 18 months i should i'm focusing on my mental health
if i have to fix any of yours just jump off the next bridge i don't need you anymore i'll go to
the funeral i'll go to the wake I'll say some sombre messages
that I don't mean
but
just
you feel a little bit
close to meltdown like
man I'm done
I can't do it anymore
there are 14
there are 14
I know
to the second
there are 14 more performances
of this show left
there are
three and a half weeks of it left
I can't
I can't pretend
anymore
I know it's that
so yeah
you're a lot better now
because you've
opened up about it
and spoke about it
and you've fucking
you've been listening
to self-help podcasts
just anything
anything
anything to not want
to kill myself every day
you had that moment
where I was like
we're landing in Hong Kong we've been traveling like fucking long haul flight practically every day
sometimes two every day to get get around the get to the far east and get around it and that and
then we arrive in hong kong and um our agent was there and you guys have been clashing a little
bit and like uh you had a day off and you just went into your room it was like three o'clock in
the afternoon we hadn't had any sleep it was uh three o'clock and you just went into your room. It was like 3 o'clock in the afternoon. We hadn't had any sleep.
It was 3 o'clock and I just went,
ah, fuck it, he's in trouble.
And I went to a cellar and got a bottle of scotch,
bottle of whiskey.
People would have seen it on Instagram.
But that was me and you just fucking pickling the problem on it.
Joe, that's it.
That's just it.
It's just I've been stoned every single day for the past month.
It's been good.
Yeah, since we've come back from the Far East where you couldn't smoke weed.
Couldn't smoke weed, had to smoke weed every single day.
This is maintenance.
And I'm not, and I don't care.
It's not weakness.
It's, find me any other comment on this on a 300-day tour.
Well, it's a marathon run.
Your fucking legs are dead.
The finish lines are there.
You just want to fucking collapse onto the floor, but you're there.
It's, I mean, I've found it all right
because I've started paying attention to things.
I've started showing interest in politics
and I've got like a couple of regular shows
that I watch on my iPad, like Politics Live
and I watch Dispatches and I watch fucking Andrew Neil even though
I think he's a bit of a fucking P.S. Morgan
I think those guys like
interrogating people on both sides
are necessary I think
they can be bellends it takes a bellend to take that job
but the guys that interrogate
I like watching them just to fucking see
holes getting poked in politicians
and I've actually found myself enjoying the last couple of weeks
because I've just given myself a new hobby,
a new thing to pay attention to.
I'm just watching the news unfold.
I'm looking outside instead of in.
Yeah, great.
I've also started giving myself a routine,
but I'm giving my routine with someone else's diary.
Yeah, that's true.
This is not my fucking,
this is not my,
none of the hours
in this day are mine.
Like I can make them mine,
I can reclaim them
but I can't ever
fully reclaim them
because what I can do
is every morning
I can wake up and go,
right look,
we've got travelling today,
I'm going to be travelling
between these hours
but even though those
might not seem like my hours,
I can turn them in
and I can go,
this is the hour when I do,
this is the hour I always have
for fucking breakfast and reading my books. That'll put me in the right headspace at the hour when I do this is the hour I always have for fucking breakfast
and reading my books
that'll put me
in the right headspace
at the start of the morning
then I'll have
give myself half an hour
to catch up on emails
and Twitter
and fucking WhatsApp
and memes and stuff
and I'll do that
while in the taxi
that's combining that
because
memes are important
yeah they are
because
memes are important
give me that break
and then I'll get to the airport
while I'm in the airport
I'll listen to my podcast
I'll listen to my news podcast
and then I'm allowed
to sleep on the plane because I know I want to fucking sleep on the plane then I'll get there and I'll do some research on the city I'm in the airport I'll listen to my podcast listen to my news podcast and then I'm allowed to sleep on the plane because I know I want to fucking sleep on the plane then I'll get
there and I'll do some research in the city I'm in and then I'll go find a restaurant there and
I'll go and then in the afternoon I'll do my knitting I'm like cool cool I've reclaimed the
day no I didn't no I didn't I just made the prison sentence less yeah I just went and and in the
section I'm allowed in this section of the prison I'm going to paint a picture of a flower and while I'm in this section of the prison I'm going to cook my own meal and while I'm in the section I'm allowed in this section of the prison, I'm going to paint a picture of a flower. And while I'm in this section of the prison,
I'm going to cook my own meal.
And while I'm in this section of the prison,
I go, I'd rather be outside, mate.
I'd rather not be in prison.
Like, I can reclaim the hours as much as I want,
but none of the...
It's hard to say it's not my decision,
because ultimately it is.
This is my dream job,
and I'm living the fucking dream.
But your diamond shoes are eight sizes too small.
They don't fucking fit, man.
If I bought... That's the thing. I think I've broke my toes. If I yeah diamond shoes are eight sizes too small they don't fit man if i bought i think i've broke my toes if i bought diamond shoes and they were too tight i think you're
well within your right to complain because i spent a lot of money on diamond shoes
and um i found that uh the sections of the tour where marlena's had to join one because she's
been producing the shows and it's been outside of the thing and she's just not a she's not a
compatible travel companion
for you because
she talks
she snaps you out
of your reverie
on a regular basis
to the point that
you can't
you can't get
deep into your thoughts
you can't get deep
into your thoughts
you can't get into
your podcasts
because there's always
something
and to her it's important
and to her it's nice
it's a nice thing
hey do you want
I'm going to do
a laundrette run
you got any stuff
for the laundrette and like stuff that i'm not interrupting you today i'm not offering
to fucking wash your pants and she is but she's snapping in at you like that and you can just see
your fuse getting shorter and shorter every 15 minutes there's a new interaction where you go
none of it needed to be just like that routine that you described um before i'll sometimes only
interrupt that like when we arrive at the hotel to say hey I'm gonna get lunch
I do want to get lunch. All right, and then I'll talk to you over lunch
Once we've arrived at the place they fucking in the morning
Sometimes I just get in the car vote say no dear because I've got my headphones on and we can just fucking like go
Separately but in the same car that that doesn't happen with someone that isn't used to turn. I
It's not her fault fault she's just being friendly
she's come along with a big smile on her face
and being friendly
but I'm like
this is
this is difficult
I have my friendly hours scheduled in
I'm friendly after the show to fans
and I'm
that's my friendly
I don't have enough
I've used it all
I've been on tour for 8
I've only got certain levels of friendliness in me every day enough I've used it all I've been on tour for eight like I've only got certain levels
of friendliness in me
every day because
I just have it
so my times
of being kind to people
come specifically
from
after I'm off stage
to when I get into the hotel
that's when I'm going to be
nice to any human being
that I cross
the other hours of the day
couldn't give a shit
couldn't give a fuck
like
and you're being actually nice
like you're all being nice
you're not faking it
like I know when you
I know you can say I'll put my mask on and then go meet my fans nah you're like you're actually actually nice like you're not faking it like I know when you I know you can say
I'll put my mask on
and then go meet my fans
nah you're like
you're actually fucking happy
to see them
yeah
I've saved up that time
when I'm going to be
fucking nice to my
I'm going to be fucking nice to people
I do not want to be
it's the same thing
for taxi drivers
how's your day
none of your business
airport people
have you had a busy day
none of your business
don't talk to me
this isn't my fucking talking time
airport people
are really that pleasant
oh that's true
but I don't know
what you're saying
this is another thing
as well
it's like
what Marlena has
that's like very similar
to my mum
is like being a feeder
and I'm a 36 year old man
that knows exactly
when I want to eat
and what I want to eat
and I can
I've got full autonomy over my intake in fact like I'm a 36-year-old man. That was exactly when I want to eat and what I want to eat. And I've got full autonomy over my intake.
In fact, I'm dieting at the minute because I felt myself getting a bit tubby.
And I'm working out at specific times.
So I eat regarding when I'm going to work out and after I'm going to work.
So I've got this fucking thing in my head.
But Marlena is lovely and she's nice and she wants to feed you.
And she's constantly offering you stuff that's just on the table in front of you
there could be a
bowl of nuts on the table
that you can see with your eyes
that you can see with your eyes
and touch with your hands
and she'll pick up the bowl
and put it in your face
and go do you want some nuts
aye
like I'm in the middle
of reading a book
and all of a sudden
I'm like fucking
I'm closing
a human interaction
I'm closing a pop up
aye
I'm closing a pop up
on the screen right
and something that she's done
in the last week right
was she put gluten free bread on the rider for backstage for you because you were gluten
intolerant you decided you hated gluten-free bread because it's bread but without the good stuff
i'd rather i'd rather i'd rather shit diarrhea than eat gluten-free bread right so she hasn't
scratched off the right and it's there and she's very aware it's going to waste and she doesn't want it to go to waste which is a very natural thing to not want
right um something that's been paid for going so she offered me gluten-free bread the first day
she arrived here in germany and i was like oh no i'm i'm actually like i'm fine i'd i'm not eating
bread at the minute it's one of the things i've cut out my diet just to try and get into shape
um so thank you but no thank you and the next day she was like i think she'd seen us eating
bread because there was only a sandwich on the menu and i'm not i'm not gonna starve to not eat
right so she sees bread and she's like do you want gluten-free bread i've seen you eating bread so
are you back on the bread and i'm like oh like uh i'm not i'm not eating bread if i can if i can
avoid it and if i do eat bread it's gonna be for enjoyment i'm not i'm not eating bread if i can if i can avoid it and if i do eat bread it's going
to be for enjoyment i'm not going to eat the bread that fucking hasn't got any of the enjoyment in it
so i'm just going to say now like no i don't want gluten-free bread and the next day she's like
do you want some gluten-free bread and i'm like molly and i i've told you i don't want gluten-free
bread and then the fourth day when she offered me gluten-free bread after fucking having to explain
myself many times i just nearly grabbed her by the back of the head and just force fed myself the gluten-free bread
and said, is this what you want?
Into her face.
Because I don't know what, I don't know.
I don't want gluten-free bread.
I don't want it.
It's like Mrs. Doyle from Father Ted.
Go on, have a biscuit.
Just fucking leave it.
It's tough to contest.
It's also the fact that 18 months of tour,
of routine.
Like, we've got a fucking...
Man, we are very good at touring together
because you understand the hours of the day
that I am available for conversation.
Now, let's be honest.
Well, I can read your mood.
Well, not really.
We're still doing this podcast.
I wouldn't have done
this podcast at all
it was up to me
but here we go
if they want to find out
what mood I'm in
this is the deal
I know
I read your mood
I just went with it anyway
aye
we just had to
look we fucking
aye
I'm aware that we've been
by the podcast
and it's because
one Piggy was here
because aye
Piggy was here
and I'm miserable
two
we've had company
so we've been forced into conversations,
so we've got nothing left.
So there's nothing else to say.
And we are a week from home,
so aye.
Where are we going with that now?
No, just if this is a bad podcast, but tough shit.
I don't think it is.
I think it's insightful.
I think it had a bit of
humour at the
beginning and
then it was
dead insightful
about like
what's going
on but
I'm alright
I think because
I'm working out
because I'm
reading and
because I'm
doing like
self-improvement
and because
I'm fucking
very aware
that I'm
stuck in it
and I'm not
going to be
home for a
week or so
I think I'm
alright
I think you've
got the taste
of the light
at the end
of the tunnel
too
you just
bought a new house too.
Haven't been in it.
And you haven't been in it.
Yep.
You say that, but I got married last September.
Not September gone, September before, and I haven't been in that either.
All right.
Well, it'll never, ever, ever, ever.
This tour will never, ever happen again under any circumstance.
Yeah, we're looking next time to do it in chunks, right?
So even if the tour
goes on for three
years
we'll do like
a week in Germany
a week off
the next tour will
actually be
four days in Belgium
a week off
I'll never
I've put in limit
I'll never perform
a show over 120
times again
I do think there
is a limit on the
amount of times
you can say it
works
how many times was it?
120
120 shows?
that's more than that
no I'm going to put a limit on
the max I'll perform the next show is 120 times
so what have we done so far?
300 and something
so like plus 300 day tour
pretty much back to back
and what's nuts as well
is like
every time we've took time off
we've went somewhere awesome like we've took time off,
we've went somewhere awesome.
We've went on a nice holiday, like my honeymoon away and we're tripping together, which is fucking great and all that,
but still travelling, isn't it?
Just amazing.
We literally bridged every gap that we had back home with extra travel,
which was awesome.
Individually, a lot of the bits of it are awesome,
but if you stick it out like that, you're like,
I want me fridge.
I want me PlayStation.
I want me gym.
Just one.
I want me bed.
I want life.
I want actual, this is not life.
This is.
I think largely I've enjoyed it.
I know I'll look back, but I can't. Just now, I can't. I think I've I'll be I know I'll look back
but I can't
just now I can't
I'm in prison
like
even now with the prison
I reckon I'd be alright in prison
I think that's what I'm saying
like I've got like
in my head now
the like
time when I work out
the time when I knit
the time when I do these things
and I've
like you said
you've bent a routine around it
I fucking like that routine
I'm alright with it
as long as I'm constantly improving.
The working out
has massively helped
my mental health.
No,
I just,
I,
yeah,
I'm not doing it.
It's just,
it's,
for me,
starting to work out now
is like fucking starting
to clean a house party
at 2am.
Like,
it's just,
actually,
there's no,
I'm not,
I'm not,
I'm not,
because there's no point working out while I know I'm not because there's no there's no point
working out
well I know
I'm not going to
eat well
and I know
I'm not going to
eat well
because one
it's fucking hard
no one
no European country
in the world
can do sandwiches
apart from the UK
it just doesn't
breakfast outside
of anywhere in the UK
is appalling
oh man
fucking scrambled eggs
this morning
like that's one thing
in the morning
I go down
and I'll have some
scrambled eggs
I'll have some fish I'll have some scrambled eggs. I'll have some fish.
I'll have some fruit, right?
Like, I'll stay away from the breads and pastries and cereals
and all that stuff, right?
When I'm doing this morning, the fucking eggs just stunk.
I was like, oh, and then I've got no other option now.
Like, kind of limited.
So if you don't like eggs, you don't like fish,
it's like eating healthy for you
isn't just adding a parameter of I'm eating healthy now
you've got these
also parameters
of like
I find stuff yucky
alright well
if I want to eat healthy
I have to
go out and actually
go out and look
look for healthier
fucking things
but then also
I want to
it's one of the things
I know I want to
I want to get better
with my diet
but I'm not going to
do it while on tour
and the same thing
like
I'm trying
you know
I'm doing a bit
of fucking self-improvement I'm trying to I'm like use the time reading and knitting like self-growth I'm not I'm doing a bit of self-improvement
I'm trying to use the time reading and knitting
self-growth
I'm not working out man
I'm not going on a fucking diet
I'm not adding other levels of legitimate sadness
I don't know how I would have done it in your position
but in my position
I'm off stage for a lot longer than you are
during the show
I'll go in early and I'll do the sound check
so we've probably got the same fucking the same fucking working day, really.
But, like, when you're on stage, that is when I'll do my workout
because you're going to be on for 90 minutes,
so I'll set my interval timer away, which is, like, a 22-minute workout,
and then I'll have 10 minutes of fucking just chilling out
while I'm dimming sweat and 10 minutes of having a shower,
and then I've still got fucking 40-odd minutes backstage so I've managed to fit that routine into there well when there's
a shower at the venue otherwise back to the hotel but I have felt better for it like yeah it is
pressing that fucking button pressing the button on the interval timer is the hard bit but once
that's pressed it's almost like oh I know I've got to do this and every time it's the high intensity
bit I'll do something burpees press-, squats like I set it away and I did
and that 20 minutes does suck
and the 5-10 minutes building up
where I can't be arsed
sucks more, but once I'm finished
in every other hour of my day
I feel fucking great for it
like a noticeable difference in my mood
for that half an hour that I've set aside
not worth the sacrifice for me
nah, you're quite enjoying basking in your misery at the minute I love indulgence man for that half an hour that I've set aside not worth the sacrifice for me nah
you're quite enjoying
basking in your misery
at the minute
I love indulgence man
it's just
I'm not gonna
I can't be
yeah
I know when I want to
I've got
I mean you know
not even New Year's resolutions
because the problem
with New Year's resolutions
is you're saving for New Year's
and then it's a
fabricated version of yourself
I'm implementing
my New Year's resolutions
you know
sort of now sort of being a little bit better being like Year's resolutions and, you know, sort of now,
sort of being a little bit better,
being like making sure
I read one book a week,
starting it now
as opposed to this
definite point in time.
Getting better,
more adventurous,
trying it sort of a bit now.
So I'm going to,
you know,
but there's just other bits.
I'm just not doing it.
I'm not doing press-ups
in a fucking prison hotel.
Oh, I fucking love
my prison work now.
It's like,
it's just part of my day now.
I've done 20 in a row, 20 days in a row. It's just it's just part of my day now I've done 20 in a
row 20 days in a
row
it's just at no
point do I
I've started
noticing like
different like a
difference physically
and difference
mentally
I can't make any
I can't be arsed
making any more
of this many more
miserable than I
already is
so are we going
to do dad jokes
did you write any
I did aye
yeah sweet so
we're on tour.
Come see it,
even though you know
I fucking resent you.
I guess.
Not absolutely, anyway.
Can't be fucking honest.
Come see the show.
I'm miserable.
Come laugh at him being miserable.
That's what a lot of
Daniel Stadler comedy is anyway.
He's fucking miserable.
At least you know it's authentic.
To be fair,
it has made the show easier to perform
in the fact that
I don't have to
fake misery anymore
like had I said
that I was miserable
and then you saw
my section of the show
you would be like
wow that is fucking
tears of a clown
right
because like
I'm happy on stage
but I'm happy off stage
Danny's miserable
off stage and on stage
we're both very authentic
I used to be happy
on both
your dad thinks
Piers Morgan identifying as a penguin
is the funniest thing he's ever heard in his entire life
he honestly thinks it's such a class bit
he's like
there's a fucking hundred genders out here
so why can't he be a penguin
honestly
such a good bit
whenever he sees that photo he's like
kiss him in the drannies
fucking dig it
your dad got a
gastric band
fitted on his lungs
because he was
taking in too much air
your dad doesn't
support Liverpool
but he's glad to see
they're doing well
I said nobody
they're just such
a lovely fan
such a great squad
as well
your dad cut leg holes arm holes and a head hole in his suitcase and he wears it to the airport They're just such a lovely fan base. Such a great squad as well.
Your dad cut leg holes,
arm holes and a head hole in his suitcase
and he wears it to the airport.
Your dad calls bananas
nature's lipstick
and treats them as such.
Your dad ran out of cereal
while pouring himself a bowl
and then remembered
all the ones he'd swept
under the fridge
with his sock and used those.
Your dad puts suntan lotion on
before getting on the sunbeds. Your dad puts suntan lotion on before getting on the sun beds.
Your dad only has eyes for a man but there's still a good six weeks until Christmas to buy a monster.
Your dad never fully finishes a shit, always pinches it off right before the end, says he likes having one in the chamber just in case.
Some people do that with books, leave the last chapter.
Do they?
No, because they don't want it to end.
Gross.
Sad children.
The tech age.
I'm doing it right now.
You know, the Wait But Why articles.
Fucking love that.
Everybody, this is a plug.
Go to waitbutwhy.com.
There's a series of articles called The Story of Us.
It's the best thing you'll ever read.
It's the best thing on the internet.
I'm halfway through the last article.
And I keep putting off reading the rest of it because I don't want it to end.
Anyway. Your dad does the top button of his shirt and wears it as a cape for meetings.
Your dad has a lot of political opinions
for a man who gets all of his news from Facebook.
Your dad was so bad at egg and spoon race
that he always used to cross the finish line
holding a chicken.
Your dad says
all animals are piñatas
you just need to change
your definition
of the word sweet
I give your dad a hug
and now I'm covered
in fake tan
your dad hasn't sweat
since the Falklands
your dad hung like
Mr Bean from the
high diving board
so long that he pulled James Acosta's beard.
Your dad watched that vegan documentary and changed his entire diet
based on the story of five professional athletes and one failed UFC fighter
over 400 years of peer-reviewed science journals and studies across the globe
because he doesn't understand even basic science.
It's my dad Tom Horton.
It's my dad Matty the Pincer Canning.
And Elliot Steele.
Is Elliot Steele gone?
Oh my God.
Oh, have you watched the documentary?
You know what, started watching it,
started watching it and I was like,
okay, this could make sense.
Okay, now it's a propaganda piece.
Oh no,
let me dick in here,
big guy.
That's how you're going to get this.
We're going to get a big dick.
Like,
fuck man,
some of the facts would be enough.
You know,
I just think that.
There's one of the bits
where after the,
after the,
in the literal documentary,
in the literal documentary,
after the erection bit,
the doctor has to legally say to Cameron,
he goes,
well,
none of this is based on actual science
and you go what
yeah it's
it's so fucking transparent
and it's so obvious who
it's going to catch Tom Horton
Pinsa Elliot
don't get me wrong we all agree
or at least we all should agree
we need to eat less meat
that's factual.
Yeah, this is what's happened, right?
This is an extended podcast.
There we are, bonus footage, right?
We shouldn't eat meat because we're killing animals
when we don't have to kill animals, right?
We shouldn't eat meat because we're fucking,
all of these animals need fed,
so you're having to fucking use so much land and water
to fucking make the food to feed the animals to feed us
when you could just eat the fucking plants, right?
So there's a climate. These are all things that don't affect us directly but
affect the humans as a whole yeah they're not enough to sway with but what it does take is
activating the selfish gene by again you can be big and strong and your cock's big and you'll just
get like a bunch of selfish people tom horton elliot steel pincer god Gann this is going to benefit me so I
that's what I'll have done is I've activated
the selfish gene on people to help the greater
good so I didn't find it that bad
I didn't find it that bad a problem that this
is converting people to veganism
I didn't find it a big deal
I don't mind people being converted to
I don't even mind people being converted to
veganism and I don't mind people eating fucking less meat
because I think it's something we all need to do.
But,
Gan,
stop giving idiots
wrong bits of information
that they're going to come and argue with me with
and that I'm just going to have to,
like,
I can't argue with your documentary
because it's a one-way piece
in the same way that people can't really argue with my
sort of shows.
It's a one-way fucking piece.
But there are factual fucking inaccuracies in your thing and your people can't really argue with my sort of shows it's a one way fucking piece but there are
factual fucking
inaccuracies in your
thing and your
people are going
to come forward
and be like
where was the
my favourite line
my favourite line
people say
how are you as
strong as an ox
you ever seen
what an ox has
eaten
you ever seen
what an ox does
for 17 hours
of the fucking
day
you moron
it's got four
stomachs to break
that well that's a
character
but also it's got
a different fucking it's got a completely different make up the fact that you can't even eat grass like it's got four stomachs to break well that's a cat but also it's got a different fucking
it's got a completely
different make up
the fact that
you can't even eat grass
like it's not
it's not like
the ox is eating
fucking lettuce
and tomatoes
it's eating grass
right
also
the fucking animals
are sort of
like
seals just eat fish
and they're fat cunts
like if I just ate fish
I'd be lean as fuck
we're different animals
you can't compare
different animals
you mentioned it the other day
people do experiments
on mice and get it out
so that must be
one of those on humans
oh it's my favourite
it's my favourite
my favourite fucking
and this conspiracy theory
comes around
all the fucking time
and it's because
of a basic misunderstanding
of what science is
and what it does
right
is
do you know how many times
they've discovered
do you know how many times
they've discovered
like cells or genes that can get rid of all the cancer cells in mice?
At least a thousand times.
At least a thousand times they've found genes and things that can sort of, when they inject mice, rats, whatever,
cancer genes stop reproducing, right?
There's been loads of patents for all those things, right?
And every now and then you'll see me being like, hey, this was proven to get rid of cancer cells in rats, right?
It patented, then it disappeared. The government doesn't want you knowing the cures of cancer.
You go, no, no, no, no, right? It's because, come here, come here. It's because rats aren't
the same as your gran, you thick cunt. You absolute fucking moron, right? It's because,
right, surprisingly, something that's two inches tall
and a human being that can fly and invent a plane
are different animals.
Invent fly.
Invent fly a plane.
No, we did both.
We invented the plane and we can fly a plane.
We've got the full range of what human beings are fucking capable of.
It blows my mind.
People who don't understand science.
Yeah, we're much more of a complex being than they are.
I include myself in that list
but here's what happens
when I learn about science
right
it's like go away
and I try and learn it
I go fuck
I've got more questions
right
and I go right
I'm going to have to answer
all those questions
and I write down all my books
all my notes
and then I have to download
five more books
and then I read one of those books
and you know what
I've got another fucking
five books to read
as opposed to
Elliot Steele
Matt Gaddick
Tom Horne
one documentary
all that information in my head I am Jesus reincarnated yes fucking five books to read. As opposed to Elliot Steele, Matt Gatling, Tom Horne, one documentary,
all that information in my head,
I am Jesus reincarnate.
Yes, I have set my opinion on this thing now and you will not break any of this opinion.
Thank God somebody did a documentary
about my opinion
that I could just have instantly.
Thank you, world.
And now everybody please go on
Wait But Why,
read the story of us
and work out how they ended up being that way
because it totally explains how that thinking operates. Gwylch y stori o ni a gwneud gwaith am sut ydyn nhw wedi dod i fod yn y ffordd honno
oherwydd mae'n cymryd i ddangos sut mae'r meddyliad hynny'n gweithio.
Ac wrth gwrs, cwylch ymlaen â ni ar Twitter.
Dwi'n edrych ar eich gweld chi.
Rwy'n eich caru i chi i gyd.
Diolch.
