Episode Date: March 13, 2017

As in the prophecy by Andrew "K2L" Stanley early in the Australia trip, Muggins' happiness is beginning to run out as he offloads a handful of his recent trivial gripes. Cream is still friendless, thi...s time in Sydney and struggling to fill a pair of Muggins sized shoes.

Starting point is 00:02:09 Yeah, you're going to Glasgow, as you mentioned. Glasgow. And you're going to come back and join us in Melbourne. Yeah, because you mentioned on the podcast that I haven't got much long left of being happy. You've run out of happiness. I'm running out of happiness. I've been such a cantankerous little fuck the last couple of days. You have.
Starting point is 00:02:23 You have. And you're wearing odd socks. I'm not wearing odd socks socks I'm wearing one white sock and one black sock yeah that's first of all that's odd it's not like periodic socks
Starting point is 00:02:31 and secondly they're inside out as well and thirdly do you know how clothes work thirdly refer to the podcast three podcasts ago
Starting point is 00:02:39 no the last podcast where you get in the muggle corner for commenting on people's socks some of these I just baited you I'm commenting on the socks because they're literally in the muggle corner for coming in on people's socks. Yeah. So maybe I just baited you. I'm coming in on the socks because they're literally
Starting point is 00:02:47 in front of my face. Yeah, we're actually top and tail in bed right now. It's actually all I'm wearing. I've got one black card, you've got one white. Yeah, I'm just wearing Newcastle socks.
Starting point is 00:03:03 I couldn't find any in a shop in Adelaide so I just had to buy Tottenham socks and Tot Newcastle socks. I couldn't find any in a shop in Adelaide, so I just had to buy Tottenham socks. Tottenham away socks. And Tottenham away socks. What socks do you have? We've only got Spurs home and away.
Starting point is 00:03:18 I'll take one of each. Thank you. I'm out of here. Harry Kane for life. Dele Alli for the win. Anyway, yes, you're very cranky. So let's go through little things that will make me annoyed. First of all, I got paid on, right, this is the first thing, I got paid on. Oh my God, I thought you were going to punch down with us last night.
Starting point is 00:03:37 For Perth. Oh yeah. So I got paid for Perth. Let's explain what happens. So I have an Australian bank account and you don't. Yeah. So you've been getting some Australian money
Starting point is 00:03:47 and then I've been lodging into my bank account and transferring it back to the UK for you. Yeah. Yeah. It's a very simple process. It shouldn't be difficult at all.
Starting point is 00:03:53 So we've been doing cash mostly. Doing cash mostly, yeah. I think we've done two, three maybe. So then you got paid a chunk of change from Dan Willis and he put it into
Starting point is 00:04:01 my Australian bank account and then you sent me a text with the xe.com exchange rate going, what the fuck happened to £170? And I was like, are you accusing me of stealing money? I thought you were going to miscalculate because I didn't know if you'd sent mine and yours
Starting point is 00:04:16 all in the lump and you just misjudged how much of it was yours. So that was why I was like, dude, the exchange is wrong. But that was the exchange. The exchange annoyed us, but that's the type of thing that happens. That's life.
Starting point is 00:04:27 You're transferring with a bank. TheXE.com is always way more. What is fucking us off is that it's 2017. And fucking, it took like two days to get from his bank account to yours. And it still hasn't gotten from yours to mine. And I'm like, we got paid four days ago now. And I'm still waiting for it. But also the funny thing was then. It's just so annoying that like, I'm just like, we got paid four days ago now, and I'm still waiting for it. But also, the funny thing was then...
Starting point is 00:04:45 It's just so annoying that, like, I'm just saying, but everyone's being paid. How am I finding it so hard? But what was funny was last night was that Dan was like, you were saying, we were chatting about this, we were chatting about the exchange and everything, and, like, losing money or whatever, and then Dan goes, oh, yeah, that's why I just use PayPal, because they don't do any of those charges. And you were like, why didn't you just do that to my UK account?
Starting point is 00:05:05 Yeah, why didn't he and then he was like because you said you did it through Stanley's and I was like yeah because you said you couldn't like why
Starting point is 00:05:11 why would I just go oh forget transferring it direct to me why don't we just add an extra dimension to this it adds 40 hours the thing that I like more
Starting point is 00:05:18 when I'm waiting for money than other factors yeah so it's it's not even that I need it either it's just that it's so annoying like i've been
Starting point is 00:05:26 getting by off some of the cash i've got here yeah and you're giving hand jobs outside pjs yeah i would say it's bg risties for 50s that's what you call it pj o'brien's bj right you're saying just when i'm not giving bjs i'm bjs are pjs risties for 50. So I was just getting annoyed at the process of transaction there. There was another one where Gav, so the mortgage money comes out of my bank account, and I'd paid Gav the mortgage, and Gav just needed to transfer me the money. And then he was like, what's your bank details again?
Starting point is 00:06:00 And he already knew my bank details, so I just sent them again. And then he was like, oh, the bank's shut, I'll send it on Monday and I was like, oh that's totally fine but is it the 90s? Do you just want to send us a cheque? Didn't he say as well, at the bank's show I don't want to go through my bank account
Starting point is 00:06:14 I was like, calm down Pablo Escobar you're not being tagged So then after I just got all cranky because when he says I'll pay it on Monday I was like, is it the 90s, do you want to send a cheque? I went, it's fine, I'll says I'll pay it on Monday it was like is it the 90s do you want to send a check and I went it's fine I'll nudge you on Tuesday because everybody
Starting point is 00:06:27 that's like fucking seems to owe his money whether it be like people from the comedy festival people from back home they'll give us a date and then I'll remind them three days later
Starting point is 00:06:36 and I'll be constantly chasing I don't know what you're like so Gav then wired the money immediately he was like oh sorry dude just wired it because you
Starting point is 00:06:43 obviously you Marlene is your agent right so she would do a lot of follow follow-up payments and things like that right she would do that whereas i do it myself you know because obviously i don't use an agent so i'm like so i feel weird about it so is this weird right so say glee for example glee club right so you do a gig and then three weeks later it's always in the account within three weeks or a check goes one or the other I still get paid checks because I don't have
Starting point is 00:07:06 a UK account right so sometimes what will happen is it will go like three weeks and three days and then I'll mail them
Starting point is 00:07:14 and the check will arrive that day and I'll go if I just waited one more day I'm going to look dignified and you feel like a weirdo
Starting point is 00:07:23 but you're being paid for services it looks like you're being paid for services. It looks like you're going, because this is what makes me so upset about having to push for money. It looks like you're going, hey, dude, I want my bottle of dollar. Can I get paid? But when really all you're doing is like, I worked that four weeks ago, cunt. Like, you got paid on the door.
Starting point is 00:07:45 So that's what bothers us about it, is that you're made to look like a fucking scrounger for your own dollar. Exactly. What else has made you cranky? Come on, spill your beans. So then, this made us cranky. I was like, I totally snapped, and then I had to apologize. That was rude.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Oh, you got cranky last night as well at the gig. Oh, I'm getting to that. Oh, that's what it is. No, no. I'm getting to that next after this one. This is what made us cranky, right? You're such a little cranky, Pat. Let me get this off my chest so I can go back to being happy.
Starting point is 00:08:17 Hundreds and hundreds of years of happiness. That's the thing about the money thing, about having an agent who chases it for you so you don't have to do a lot of the chasing. You still have to do a bit of chasing to get it off your agent. Because what your agent wants to do is just to keep her admin to a minimum, is wait until she's got a bunch of your gigs paid. And then she'll pay you in a wanna and try and do it little and less often. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:37 Right? Or big amounts and less. Right, you know what I'm saying. So I'll just go, hey, I was just wondering, I haven't been paid for fucking six weeks for the these gigs that are done in leeds and brighton and she was like oh yeah i'm just waiting for the money off altitude and then i'll send it through and i'm like oh why don't you just wait for all of the work i ever do and then pay us when i die like why have you just let it stack and stack and stack you give it the gab give it the gab you can write a check you know i've run like a couple of gigs a punch trunk in set list
Starting point is 00:09:05 I know I'm not running set list but I'm the front of house and the show manager and every gig that I run I'm handing people cash when they get paid
Starting point is 00:09:12 so I'm just saying a little bit of fucking balance wouldn't go amiss number two that made me cranky right is wonderfully
Starting point is 00:09:20 so I was living with Dan Willis and Kerry Marks and Dan Willis his wife and daughter tip up right wonderfully for him
Starting point is 00:09:28 right on his birthday and it's just nice to have a kid running around the house it's been a lovely couple of days
Starting point is 00:09:35 but the other day I come in and the kitchen's immaculate right but I keep it tidy anyway but like
Starting point is 00:09:44 Dan will come in drunk every night and and and and and

Starting point is 00:09:55 and and and and and and and and
Starting point is 00:09:56 and and and and and and and and and and With his 970 cans of Coke. Yeah, he does, doesn't he? I mean, I drink a lot of Pepsi Max or Diet Coke, but my Jesus. It's like a fucking storeroom. It's like there's been, I think, a lorry tipped. Didn't I count it the other day? There was 40 cans of Diet Coke and, like, eight bottles. Eight two-litre bottles. I was like, that's a lot.
Starting point is 00:10:16 Ridiculous. It was the back of a lorry. It wasn't even a party for AA. Crash lorry. That's why they keep fizzing up in his face. AA party. that's why they keep fizzing up in his face so
Starting point is 00:10:24 I noticed that his little station that was a bit of a clip it was immaculate now right and I was like that's because his wife's touch
Starting point is 00:10:34 she's done the thing after right so then I'm I'm sat where Nick Cody and Luke Hagee at the Ashes gig in the afternoon and Erin come up
Starting point is 00:10:42 and she was just so like smile me about i tidied up after you i bet you didn't notice but i tidied up the kitchen after you and i bet you've just made a mess again and left it and i was just like fucking excuse me i because i live with two other people and i've been cooking and using top of my way and everything like that right i'll wash them sometimes before i've even ate my food yeah i'll wash the shit i wash as i go yeah i'm all about washing as you go yeah so she come along like that and, yeah. I'm all about washing as you go, yeah. So she'd come along like that, and I'm just like, I've been washing as I go, so I stopped
Starting point is 00:11:08 her about that. And then what had really annoyed us about our tidy up, right, is that when I empty the dishwasher or whatever, right, I'll always put my Tupperwares, which I use every day. I fucking, you know what I'm like when we Tupperware, I'm having seven meals a day and I'm all in Tupperware. Because of the plastic, they never dry in the dishwasher, right? So I put them in the fucking drainer on the top
Starting point is 00:11:28 and they always go from my bag to the dishwasher to the drainer to being used and I've got this cycle going, right? I mean, you don't sound psycho at all right now.
Starting point is 00:11:36 No. I think this is why you get cranky, right? It's because I've never been goal-driven before. You've never been in a routine like this. Nobody has ever been an obstacle because you can't be an obstacle when you're just floating around like a butterfly. Yeah. Like a never been in a routine like this. Nobody has ever been an obstacle. Yeah. Because you can't be an obstacle
Starting point is 00:11:45 when you're just floating around like a butterfly. Yeah. Like a sexy butterfly. Stinging like a bee. Making that sweet honey. I'm floating around like a butterfly. So fucking,
Starting point is 00:11:59 so I'm in the house, right, going, oh nice, like finally someone's tidied up Dan's crumbs, right? But then, spent the next fucking ages just hunting a run for me Tupperware
Starting point is 00:12:09 and eventually found it in the cupboard with a cleaning product oh my god it was just in the cupboard makes no sense
Starting point is 00:12:16 so there's like a drawer full of Tupperware which is a Tupperware drawer in my opinion Tupperware drawer that's where it
Starting point is 00:12:22 goes so when she had that so she'd come along and done the whole I've tidied up It's a Tupperware drawer, in my opinion. It's a Tupperware drawer. That's where it goes. So when she had that, so she'd come along and done the whole, like, I've tidied up after you, I bet you've made a mess. I was just like, fuck that,
Starting point is 00:12:32 I've tidied up after meself. Like, you've just come and rescued my life. Yeah, yeah, I literally wasn't in it. It wasn't hoarders. So then she fucking walks away, and then I turned into a fucking cantankerous little... Cranky guy. Crantankerous. crank-tankerous um
Starting point is 00:12:47 kytankerous turned to Cody and Luke and I was just like aye she didn't just tidy up she just fucking went and hit all me gear hit me top of my head
Starting point is 00:12:53 but we just let the fucking judge out right but oh man she heard us and she come back she heard you
Starting point is 00:12:59 like when Nick and Luke had gone she was like I'm sorry if you couldn't find your top of my head oh no now I'm the twat oh you're such an idiot
Starting point is 00:13:06 now she's she's recording a podcast right now going I was just trying to help out I didn't even mean to put stuff away it just was a little bit of a mess
Starting point is 00:13:14 I think that happens like Mick Nevin moved into a flat in Perth for a couple of days and he just because he wanted to make sure he was like not in anyone's way
Starting point is 00:13:21 like tidies up but then like you just end up moving your shit around and you're like well and if you say it to him you look like a psycho yeah could you not tidy your shit up please it was um it was uh um carrie was just like um you know me shaving towel how come it ended up on the side of the sink and now it's just in the bathtub and he was like i don't know dolly must have been playing it and he was like well dolly couldn't have got it because
Starting point is 00:13:43 it was hung over the the top of the the thing and he was like, Dolly must have been playing it. And he was like, well, Dolly couldn't have got it because it was hung over the top of the thing. And he was like, oh, Aaron must have used it to wash Dolly. And he was like, so you're trying to say that you used my face towel to wipe your daughter's bum? Oh, God. And then Dan was just like, I put my hand up funny. Oh, God. He just went, fuck it, I'm not going to defend it.
Starting point is 00:14:04 Thank God he threw it in the back then. I said to Kerry, you should have went, hey, you know what? was just like a bum on a fanny oh god he just went fucking i'm not gonna defend it yeah thank god he threw it in the back then let's just bring it back up i said to carrie you should have went hey you know where my arse towel's gone and he would have gone i use it to shave my daughter's face hey um you've got no idea where i've put my spaff rag day yeah you don't know where my jizz bucket is yeah i've just been kind of like this because like, so the first one is just chasing money. The second one
Starting point is 00:14:28 is just a slight disruption to your routine. That's not that person's fault. They've come along. They're more than welcome in that home and they are
Starting point is 00:14:35 trying their best to... They don't even know they're doing it. They don't like, not even don't know they're doing it but they are doing a favour to me
Starting point is 00:14:40 by keeping the place tidy. Yeah, they're actually trying to, they're trying to do something nice but accidentally ruining your fucking life. Yeah, they're actually trying to, they're trying to do something nice. Yeah. But accidentally ruining your fucking life.
Starting point is 00:14:47 Yeah, there's me just like stamping my foot and talking loudly near her, so she has to apologise. She's been so lovely. So I've been a cunt.
Starting point is 00:14:55 So go on, what happened last night? So we're in the green room and I was just, I just finished set list. Oh, I didn't even know this one. This is a new one then.
Starting point is 00:15:03 Oh, so there's another one. I'm talking about the one with Rory. Okay, okay. We'll add that one as well then. So there's going to be four. What day? Enjoy this.
Starting point is 00:15:13 So fucking after Set List. You should watch. I've got a friend who's doing a show. You should watch it. It's called How To Be Happy. It's available at tyhumphries.com forward slash shop. Download for $5. You should watch that to make yourself cheer up.
Starting point is 00:15:26 I'm probably going to be pissed off at how happy I am. So this happened, right? We're in a green room with Bev Killick, Kerry Marks, Steve Hughes is there. It's a fucking nice green room. And there's this dude who seems like a nice guy. Who is it? He's got big hair. He plays the piano.
Starting point is 00:15:43 Wears a big gold suit. I mean, if you don't get him off that description you never will so uh we're just like chatting away and i wasn't really engaging too much in the conversation because i was sending some emails i was just using the time because i was waiting for carrie to share a taxi back yeah i was up past my bedtime yeah i was sober i'm just doing some things and then just out the blue this this dude went up he was like I can understand what most people say but you talk quite fast and you've got a strong accent
Starting point is 00:16:10 I can't understand what you're saying and I was like and then he just went one dude I'm not fucking talking to you I'm not talking at all I'm actually sending emails
Starting point is 00:16:18 yeah I'm sending emails I'm not talking to you but two this is mostly you you know that and this is the one I raised with him I didn't say one I wasn't talking to you. But two, this is mostly you, you know that, and this is the one I raised with him, right? I didn't say one,
Starting point is 00:16:26 I wasn't talking to you because that would be rude. This is probably also rude, but valid. Well, it's okay now because Kai Ranky, man, is in town. I went,
Starting point is 00:16:36 it's mostly you because I'm not going to... Who is this? I actually don't know who this is. He's a comedian. He must do some stuff at the Rhino Room.
Starting point is 00:16:43 He was on at the late show the other night. Fucking top dude, nice dude. But he just hit a nerve with us when he was like, I can't understand what you say. Because my thing is, it's mostly you. I've got an accent that I'm not going to lose just for your benefit. I'm not going to start speaking the Queen's English the whole time
Starting point is 00:16:58 just so you can fucking tune your ears in. Actually, I understood you much better there. Oh, good, good. I wish he was here. tune your ears in. Actually, I understood you much better there. Oh,
Starting point is 00:17:02 good, good. I wish he was here. So, I was like, there's just like a little bit of tuning in that you've got to do
Starting point is 00:17:10 as with any accent. Yeah. As with any accent, you've just got to go, like if I hear a Kiwi in New Zealand say dick when they're talking
Starting point is 00:17:19 about their garden, I know they mean, when they say dick instead of deck. Yeah. I know that when you hear dick, they don't mean cock.
Starting point is 00:17:26 No. They mean deck, right? And just like when Eddie Alvarez was going on it, Conor McGregor going, I don't know what he's saying. He's saying turd instead of third. You're like, then you do know. You're like, oh, so you do know. But two, in the context, why would he mean turd?
Starting point is 00:17:42 He clearly means third. And you know he means third. You're just like putting up this resistance. Like you said turd, he must mean turd? He clearly means third. And you know he means third. You're just putting up this resistance. You said turd, he must mean turd. I don't know what he's saying. Just go, oh, right, they drop the H, so that's an easy patch for my brain to make. Yeah, it's not like you said lump when you meant to say milk. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:18:00 And even in the context of I'm going to put some lump on my cereal, you're probably going, oh, lump ones mean milk where he's from. So I was like, you've got to meet me halfway, dude. I'm'm going to put some lump on my cereal probably going oh lump wants me milk where he's from so I was like you've got to meet me halfway dude I'm not going to lose my accent completely but you've got to tune in
Starting point is 00:18:10 and then I was like it's proven that my accent works in this country because laughter is undeniable if you're saying stuff and people are laughing they heard it
Starting point is 00:18:19 yeah it's not all rhythm it's not like that it's not like they're filling in a form saying yes I know whether they heard it they it's a knee jerk reaction to what you say
Starting point is 00:18:27 so also if you're a very successful comedian you've met loads of people you've heard loads of accents your accent is not the strongest one
Starting point is 00:18:37 I've ever heard you know what I mean there's definitely Scottish accents that are stronger than yours over at this festival right now it's not so much the accent
Starting point is 00:18:44 it's like you say the use of words like saying I dinna ken in Scottish you have to know that means I don't know or I divin na in Geordie but if I say I don't know it's still whether I've got an accent or not it's still the words. So I just mentioned to him that if you can't hear if you can't understand my accent it's down to him it ain't me right and then he just went oh sorry
Starting point is 00:19:06 I've only got the use of one ear and I went well use that one yeah well then then you shouldn't understand anybody's accent so that made us
Starting point is 00:19:18 unnecessarily cranky and then well yeah I said there's two things with Rory Law that got us like but there's two things with Rory Law. There's two? Yeah, we'll do this as 4.1 and 4.2. So are you talking about the one where...
Starting point is 00:19:34 The cakewood, yeah. So I'm doing a gig last night on there. So PJ O'Brien's is like an enclosed balcony. So you're like outdoors but indoors. It's like you're on a balcony but it's got a roof. It's got high barriers. It's like a smoking area. So it's like a smoking area. You feel like you're a roof it's got high barriers it's like a smoking area it's like a smoking area
Starting point is 00:19:45 you feel like you're outdoors but it's got the enclosed space feeling of indoors it's like a room with lots of open windows I think they've got it I'm starting to not understand your accent again
Starting point is 00:19:56 I'm doing the gig there and I'm like fucking getting on to my last routine before I hit my time and it's like quite a tight schedule you can't overrun it
Starting point is 00:20:03 yeah it's 4x2 and 10x12s yeah you can't really be like. Yeah, it's four acts doing 10, 12s. Yeah, you can't really be like they're doing more than you a lot of the time. So fucking, I'm on a balcony that's mostly full. Apart from to the far left, there's a bit of space where it would be a few extra seats in or some standing area if it was completely rammed. Yeah. Right.
Starting point is 00:20:18 And I see like a commotion going on there as I'm doing my last routine to the point that everybody like stretches their neck to see what the commotion going on there as i'm doing my last routine to the point that everybody like stretches their neck to see what the commotion is and from stage and from the audience's point of view it looked like a fight was breaking out it seemed like a fight but when i looked up i saw your check shirt and i was like oh it's just the comics so my instant thing would be to commentate on what was happening find out what's going on settle it and then get back to me jokes because i didn't want to look like the dick going hey other comedians who's the other comedians making a noise yeah comedians you shouldn't be comedian when i'm when i'm comedianing you just get all fucking pissy with you for making a noise i just fucking raise my eyebrows and kind of like go on they're just being dicks and then carry on with
Starting point is 00:20:57 my um my routine but the momentum was all gone and i kind of just fizzled out we said and you're yeah and you're already in the final section. I was in the final section which relied on a bit of a callback to something I said earlier which got me to this head. So from what was, in all purposes, a great gig,
Starting point is 00:21:12 just ended up on just a bit of a meh at the end. Whereas I would normally have just put another routine on the end. I couldn't do that because I was getting to the clock so I just had to go, oh well,
Starting point is 00:21:22 that's my big closer. And then when I come off it was Rory. Yeah, because he said it to me you were like what the fuck was that fuck that dude so what happened was he came in he was hammered uh like eight in the day eight thirty i suppose nine whatever uh he came in and so we'd gotten you'd gotten a birthday cake for dan willis yeah um and uh alice one of the bar girls there had, she'd had a slice on her plate and she went inside so I picked up her plate as if like,
Starting point is 00:21:48 oh, I'm going to eat this. You know? But then when Rory walked in, he thought it was my cake so he just grabbed it in his fist and mushed it in his hand and then tried to put his hand all over my shirt
Starting point is 00:21:59 and I was like, I have two more gigs to do. You absolute asshole. What are you... So I was trying to hold... I was like stopping him. You know what else is fucked about this? This wasn't no supermarket cake.
Starting point is 00:22:07 No. This is one that got specially made, like fucking gourmet. Yeah, yeah. This was like a 60. Patisserie? Cakery? Brasserie? Boulangerie.
Starting point is 00:22:14 Boulangerie. Like a $60 cake or something like that. And he properly then, like it was about 30 seconds I had to like hold him as he was trying to ram it onto my face and all of my shirt. Yeah. And I was like, this is not how I want my last night to go so I come off and you said that and he was about to get called on stage he was on then yeah he was on just before he got called on stage
Starting point is 00:22:33 he was like what date am I doing set list and this I'm going to say is no exaggeration the 10th day in a row that he's asked me when he's doing set list and for the 10th day in a row I told him I'm not fucking booking it
Starting point is 00:22:46 I book it in Edinburgh but I don't book it here I've been show managing it I've been hosting it I haven't got the booking sheet and I'm just I fucking grabbed him
Starting point is 00:22:53 by both sides of the head and I went honestly mate don't make us fucking tell you again I'm not booking set list I just fucking grabbed him by the face
Starting point is 00:23:03 hopefully that'll get it through nice enough kid as well yeah he's sound enough he's just a little bit he was hammered last night as well he was hammered he was just being drunk
Starting point is 00:23:11 and I'm just the sober guy yeah yeah you're completely sober and he was out of his bracket yeah he's just having a great festival he's having a great festival he's having a fucking good time doesn't care
Starting point is 00:23:20 he was DJing to producers last night yeah you'll never play Celtic I'll tell you that you'll never play a cellist i'll tell you that you'll never get any more cake yeah he will he'll be good at it but you know the worst thing about it was well not the worst thing but like when he grabbed the cake i put the plate down and then he didn't like he went into i went in to like wash my hands or whatever and like when i came out
Starting point is 00:23:38 alice was about to eat the cake and i was like no no i'll get you another slice let's be on the floor she was like oh we hadn't even been on the floor he just smushed it and put it back on the plate so it would have been his hands but it was like it was a chocolate cake I mean God knows where they've been itching his bum bad dirt
Starting point is 00:23:50 you can hardly tell what's cake and what's poo after Rory's hands been on it oh my god absolutely I'm glad I got that off my chest Dr Phil you feeling better now
Starting point is 00:24:04 yeah I feel great. Dr. Phil, how did that make you feel? I feel absolutely liberated now. Finally. Have you got anything you want to get off your chest? No, I'm very happy. You're doing what? Because you're leaving Australia to go to Glasgow?
Starting point is 00:24:18 Because I'm leaving Australia to go to Glasgow. Get a nice bit of wind chill. Get some use out of my winter coat. So are you just going to be in Glasgow for the full two weeks? No. So I fly home today. I land tomorrow morning,

Starting point is 00:24:39 well, Waugh's doing my show with me Wednesday. Gareth Waugh and Mark Nelson are both doing my show. They're opening for me. And then drawing the show. Have you seen, because I went, just to cover that as well,
Starting point is 00:24:54 drawing a show means that when he's doing a show and a lot of it's improvised. All of it. He always has an artist who isn't especially an artist. Yeah. It's just someone that could maybe... It's more important that they're a comic.
Starting point is 00:25:06 And they draw a kind of road map of your gig using illustrations. They do minutes through illustrations. It's way more fun. Do you put that online so that people can go on your website? Yeah, I'm going to start to. And then in Edinburgh this year I'm going to have a separate Twitter account for us.
Starting point is 00:25:21 And I'll have a hashtag like road comedian. separate Twitter account for us and I have hashtag like road comedian so we got this
Starting point is 00:25:30 one brought to mind Gareth Wall we mentioned Gareth Wall someone created an Instagram of Muggins and
Starting point is 00:25:35 Cream and it's just pictures of me and Daniel and it's like a fanboy fangirl type account
Starting point is 00:25:43 with heart emojis in the... I'm going to look at this right now as you tell me. Go on. Yeah, and I just instantly thought it was Gareth Waugh. You think so? I think it's just a listener, so thank you whoever's done it.
Starting point is 00:25:53 A bit creepy, a bit weird, a bit muggly. What's it got, muggins and cream? It made me laugh. What made me laugh the most about it is that it comes up as... They've done that tile thing, you know, where you post nine pictures in a row and it makes one big picture on your feed yeah have you seen that you're gonna see in a minute it's called like nine yeah it's nine nine of the best or
Starting point is 00:26:12 something like that nine the best it's an app that they've taken a photo of me from me 2013 poster where i'm butt naked apart from a disco ball i'm just wearing a disco ball on me cock and they posted nine pictures of that, so it makes the full picture. Oh, yeah. But it comes up on your feed. It's just like various body parts of me. Like, oh, there's an arm, there's a neck. It's kind of together.
Starting point is 00:26:32 Ah, it's distorted on your phone. Yeah, yeah. Weird. You need to update it out, maybe. So anyway, check, what's the Instagram handle called? Muggins and Cream. Muggins and Cream. But the photos they've put on aren't like photos
Starting point is 00:26:44 that we've posted on Facebook. They're like obscure photos sometimes that have been put on Twitter. So I guess they went through the media on Twitter. It's me and Natalie. What have you and Natalie
Starting point is 00:26:53 from five hours ago? One of you wearing a suit. Were you in court that day? Hey-o! That's so weird. Nick Cody gets a mention? Oh, there's Cody. Yes,
Starting point is 00:27:03 so go check it out. But they went through and like there was one picture where it's just me on a train that I couldn't even remember being taken
Starting point is 00:27:09 and it's just the one that I like you know when because I wouldn't post a picture of myself on a train just as a
Starting point is 00:27:15 as a like hey this is what I'm doing now but it was in a conversation like I'm on my way what so like you know
Starting point is 00:27:21 when you're tweeting someone yeah but I mean so you would go like at Andrew Stanley I'm on my way to Brighton he has to serve me on the train
Starting point is 00:27:28 just fucking looking happy with a seeing me out the window so they've took it off there so these are just really random pictures so they're just pulling
Starting point is 00:27:36 random pictures that you forget how you've done on the internet and so like who do you actually do you think we should try and find out
Starting point is 00:27:42 who it is I think I know who it is there's a there's a there's a Twitter Twitterer called Hannah Loft
Starting point is 00:27:48 so shout out to Hannah Loft because she she tweets quite a bit just about the podcast and she's enjoying it and then it seems to be written in the same vibe
Starting point is 00:27:57 as the shit on her Twitter bio okay she's just got a little Hannah Loftus or Hannah Loft I don't know
Starting point is 00:28:03 Loftus is it I don't know anyway thatus is it I don't know anyway that's cool I think it's good and on top of that uh oh this is the next level shit
Starting point is 00:28:12 so we've got the Instagram handle made but fucking super shout out to the biggest muggle of them all the fucking queen bee of muggles Rich Massara
Starting point is 00:28:20 yeah has made a website an actual website called Mugglepedia oh I saw that so people can actually muggle actual website called Mugglepedia. Oh, I saw that. So people can actually muggle it up on Mugglepedia. It's so good. And it's got a Twitter handle, which is Mugglepedia.
Starting point is 00:28:31 Yeah. And he's put in every single muggle thing that's been cited, confirmed, denied, who confirmed it, who denied it. If there's been a stipulation added, he's got the stipulation in brackets. Amazing. With the person who added it in brackets. And do you know he had your, when you put the person who added it in brackets. And you know, when you put the Muggle Corner stuff in,
Starting point is 00:28:47 you had you as Stanley and someone commented on the post of it on Facebook saying, oh, why is it down as Stanley and not Kissy Tulips?
Starting point is 00:28:54 And Richard Massaro went back and edited every foot of Kissy Tulips because of Kissgate 2017. Muggleopedia, how do you spell it? I'm going to look it up now. M-U-G-L-I-P

Starting point is 00:29:20 It's amazing. Speaking of Muggles, right, let's do some Muggles now. Let's do some Muggles. Because we're always going too late and overrun or end up dropping some. So before we go
Starting point is 00:29:28 into Muggle Corner, and I mean, people are confused now if this is the first time listening to me talking about Mugglepedia. Let's get everyone up to speed.
Starting point is 00:29:35 It's on you. You're the guest. So Q for the Airplane, actually, I'm just looking here on the website. Q for the Airplane was the first ever
Starting point is 00:29:40 Muggle Corner. Was that the first ever one? First ever one. And it really is. And that was the one I said in the first episode as well ah so that was
Starting point is 00:29:46 yeah because when I said there's a repeat here yeah yeah so queuing for the aeroplane Sam Wilson who was on the podcast the band of Sam who was on the podcast
Starting point is 00:29:54 a few episodes ago he actually gave me an insight of why people do that or why you would do that go on he goes on the flight so he's got all his
Starting point is 00:30:02 sound technician equipment yeah being a fucking musician yeah and he says like sometimes I've got like five grand's worth of gear in my bag
Starting point is 00:30:11 yeah okay in my hand luggage I'll agree with that as a stipulation and he's like I want it nearby but I don't look at that queue and think
Starting point is 00:30:17 there's a bunch of people with five grand's worth exactly yeah it's a seven euro Ryanair flight stop it so he must get even more pissed off by the Muggles in the queue. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:26 So that must annoy him even more. By the fact that he needs to queue and everybody else that doesn't need to queue is also queuing. Yeah. So Muggles. Muggles. In Harry Potter's world, Muggles are people that lack magic. In our world, Muggles are people who lack magic.
Starting point is 00:30:41 You know, if you lack that spark of creativity, of uniqueness, of individuality, and you just join the herd, and you just go along with what's cool, and what's a fad, and what's in, and you've got fucking quotes like, dance like no one's watching is your mantra. If you fucking wear T-shirts with slogans on
Starting point is 00:30:58 that you think are funny, but they just make you look like a muggle, then you're a muggle. And every week we put three each in the muggle corner, we debate, then we confirm or deny whether that makes like a muggle then you're a muggle and every week we put three each in the muggle corner we debate then we confirm or deny
Starting point is 00:31:07 whether that makes you a muggle and hey if we I think we've been very much on form recently as well yeah and everything's been a lot of confirmations
Starting point is 00:31:14 going straight in a couple of stipulations here and there we're going to get everybody and we're getting ourselves everybody gets caught being muggle eating from time to time

Starting point is 00:40:31 like fucking... I know what you're talking about, yeah, the old school books. They're all in the same style. They're Penguin Classics. Is that what they are? Yeah, I think so, yeah, yeah. And they come in like a little box.
Starting point is 00:40:38 Yeah, so that's fair enough because that's a collection. So that's different. He's got his collection in there. He's like, oh, feel free to read any of the books. He lets us know that you're allowed to touch them. Yeah, yeah like feel free to read any of the books he lets us know that you're allowed
Starting point is 00:40:46 to touch them feel free to read any of them but I don't want any of them to leave the room if that's alright but that's fair enough
Starting point is 00:40:51 that's like collecting old vinyl and not playing the vinyl you know what I mean because you don't want to scratch them or whatever that's fine
Starting point is 00:40:57 but this is like I'm talking about just normal books like the latest John Grisham don't fold that down don't fold that down I don't want to ruin it
Starting point is 00:41:04 there's not many copies of Da Vinci Code kicking around. I'll look after this one. You know, it's funny. I literally picked up the Da Vinci Code an hour ago to read on my fly home. Because I've never read it. That was weird. Really? Swear to God.
Starting point is 00:41:17 I like it. I like his books, Dan Brown books. They're all right. And people get snobby about them. I'm reading the Christopher Brookman at the minute. I'm reading It's All Fun and Games Until Someone Loses an Eye. What was that one? I'm reading the Christopher Brutemeyer at the minute I'm reading it's all fun and games until someone loses
Starting point is 00:41:26 an eye I'm trying to date it though when you're reading a book and you don't know when it was published
Starting point is 00:41:30 I was trying to date it I was like when is this set I mentioned Henrik Larsson in Celtic
Starting point is 00:41:37 but I couldn't remember if they mentioned past tense but when was Larsson playing at Celtic Larsson was like mid 90s yeah I think it might be a 90s book but I didn't realise playing at Celtic Larson was like
Starting point is 00:41:45 mid 90s yeah I think it might be a 90s book but I didn't realise I'll check it out
Starting point is 00:41:48 what was that one there's been mobile phones since 94 95 I think I hate that
Starting point is 00:41:56 when you don't know the age of a book and you're trying to use the words in it the background
Starting point is 00:41:59 of it yeah what was the book we both of us read you recommended it to me
Starting point is 00:42:04 Ready Player One oh it's so good fantastic book we remember the book both of us read you recommended it to me actually Ready Player One oh it's so good fantastic book really really good Ernest Cline yeah yeah amazing book really really good
Starting point is 00:42:12 it's set in the future but it's about the 80s yeah yeah exactly it's all computer games really cool really good book take this recommendation down if you listen
Starting point is 00:42:18 to the podcast you like reading books Ernest Cline Ready Player One Ready Player One and everybody I've recommended it to do right is love that book
Starting point is 00:42:24 whether it be like Sloss's mom loves it and then racist well no i'm just saying like generation wise no but then uh like younger people like uh have loved it uh joward christmas got on it with he fucking that's great really really good book um so anyway pages folding in the corner get in there i think so i think if you don't fold the corner of your pages, then you don't go in the corner. Some people are quite obsessive about stuff. I think I'm going to make some exceptions with comic books, I feel like. Yeah, look, if there's stuff like graphic novels,
Starting point is 00:42:57 things like that, that's fine. Yeah, if it's not going in your collection. Yeah. But yeah, I've got a bunch of books that are quite bad because you travel around, they're in and out your bag, and you look at them, they're all over the shop. And I think they look much better than they do. Way better.
Starting point is 00:43:09 That's the way they should be. They're there to be read. Yeah. There you go. Yeah. Get in the corner. You corner, non-corner, folding corner cunts. I've got here.
Starting point is 00:43:23 Football fans that get aggressive. If the players get insulted by a rival fan or whatever like they get like they get affronted by like if someone
Starting point is 00:43:32 goes you're Liverpool right yeah if I just go oh Stig and Bjorn be shit what
Starting point is 00:43:38 that's such a niche the finest left back to ever play what are you talking about yeah but if you got like is he fuck yeah yeah the minute you go oh I but if you got like is he fuck yeah the minute you
Starting point is 00:43:45 go oh I have to defend him like he's called my child fat yeah yeah I know what you mean because some people get
Starting point is 00:43:51 like so now you're talking about if they insult him for no like not insulting his football but
Starting point is 00:43:56 insulting just is an insult whether it's about his football whether it's about anything but they feel like
Starting point is 00:44:02 they've got to defend him like it's family yeah yeah and I'm not about like even slagging off your team if you get that but if you go
Starting point is 00:44:07 well that's your prerogative you can dislike my team if you want I couldn't get angry about that I see that people do but when people if people get like they have to defend
Starting point is 00:44:16 the honour of one of their heroes yeah yeah I remember I was out watching a Liverpool Arsenal game god this is years ago this is like
Starting point is 00:44:23 probably I want to say 2002 maybe, so 15 years ago. We were in a pub, me and my mate Derek. It was like an early morning game. And it was when Liverpool and Arsenal were kind of, they had loads of those cup finals and everything over a certain period of time. So there was like six games between them every season. And somebody went down.
Starting point is 00:44:44 I think an Arsenal player, Henri I think it might have been, went down I think I think an Arsenal player my Henri I think it might have been went down in the box and he very clearly dived right and won a peno right or won a peno free or
Starting point is 00:44:52 something like that and there was like me and Derek and we were in this bar it wasn't like it was a bit of a rough bar and so we're all it was all messing like you're screaming about
Starting point is 00:44:59 you're screaming at Arsenal fans they're screaming and then when they showed the replay Henri had very clearly dived. I was like, you see, fucking diving bastards.
Starting point is 00:45:08 You're cheating Arsenal, fucking... Some guy goes, I'm not a fucking cheat. And I was like, I didn't, I'm not, we're just joking.
Starting point is 00:45:15 And Derek was like, we have to go. We literally have to leave the pub. He started going, I'm not a cheating fucker. And I was like, oh no you're not. This is not what you're talking about.
Starting point is 00:45:24 The level of ego to make that about you personally as an individual it was amazing I think it was it was Stefan Honcho had tackled Henri and Henri had gone down
Starting point is 00:45:32 you know what though I feel like I'm missing out on a level of enjoyment with football by not getting that emotionally invested in it people seem to enjoy it a lot more
Starting point is 00:45:39 when they're not invested like this is one of the fucking finest bits of fan action I've ever seen watching the Newcastle Sunderland Derby
Starting point is 00:45:47 last season in the relegation battle for us it was 1-1 that game wasn't it can you remember Mitrovic
Starting point is 00:45:56 got knocked out and he was unconscious in the box and Rafa subbed him off while he was unconscious but when he came round
Starting point is 00:46:03 he didn't realise he'd been subbed off he was trying to get back on the pitch he was a little bit dazed and while he was unconscious. But when he came around, he didn't realise he'd been subbed off. Oh, really? He's trying to get back on the pitch. He's a little bit dazed and confused. Of course, yeah. He's got a concussion and everything. He's trying to get back on the pitch.
Starting point is 00:46:10 And there's just a bit of commotion in the TVs and that. And a Newcastle fan stood up and just went, Think about your health! I was so tempted to think. He'd stand up and go, Are you even insured? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sit down. Sit down before you fall down. Who're going to stand up and go are you even insured yeah yeah yeah sit down
Starting point is 00:46:25 sit down before you fall down who's going to do the school run are you not going to be able to drive vehicles after a concussion yeah yeah yeah take the day off work take two days
Starting point is 00:46:33 get yourself back think about your health think about your health but like how emotionally invested like you know if you that man who shouted
Starting point is 00:46:40 think about your health to Mitrovic right if you just whisper to him oh Mitrovic is a prick. Doesn't pay his taxes. Doesn't pay that, yeah. This guy gone, what do you say about him?
Starting point is 00:46:49 What? What about his fucking taxes and his health? Don't speak about him like that when he's nearly dead. Don't speak about him when he's in this ill health. I hope he's got a good phone plan.
Starting point is 00:46:58 Don't want him to get ripped off on his minutes. Josh Pugh was telling me that he, Josh Pugh used to play rugby. Josh Pugh's an English comedian of the year who's over here at the moment
Starting point is 00:47:05 he was playing a rugby game one day and he got tackled so hard by a guy that in the dressing room afterwards he was like so what are these lads like today
Starting point is 00:47:14 who we're up against like he thought it was pre-4 of the game and he was sitting there covered in mud like head to toe he played the whole game just concussion
Starting point is 00:47:21 his life had just reset him back to earlier yeah he just couldn't remember anything and he just slipped back and he was sitting there and he was like lads what do you think these guys are going to be like he just couldn't remember anything and he just slipped back and he was sitting there and he was like lads what do you think
Starting point is 00:47:26 these guys are going to be like today do you think they're a good outfit or whatever and the lads were all looking and I'm like we need a doctor in here I think it's so confusing man I've been
Starting point is 00:47:34 I don't know if I was fully out I don't I definitely like had a bit of a blackout but I I kind of came around stood up but I had a car crash
Starting point is 00:47:43 and I hit the driver's side window with my face, with my head and just put the window out on my head Did you have your helmet on did you? Luckily Luckily for me my headphones didn't even come out
Starting point is 00:47:58 The music didn't even stop playing, I was listening to my old school vinyl with the corner folded out Didn't even stop driving Didn't even hit anything just did it because I wanted
Starting point is 00:48:10 to wanted a bit of fresh air so fucking hell like I I ended up getting like
Starting point is 00:48:23 hit on the side of the car put my head through the window and then I came around and this is my fucking vague floaty memory of coming around I had a towel pressed to my head and it turned out one of the neighbours had come out
Starting point is 00:48:35 so I was bleeding, I was hanging off a bit I got my legs a couple of stitches back on and I had this tape towel just pressed against my head to stem the bleeding waiting for the paramedics and then I just turned to the woman who had given me the towel
Starting point is 00:48:47 and I went has it been Christmas yet? It was the 27th of December. Oh my God. And I asked the wife who sorted me out if it had been Christmas yet. Jesus.
Starting point is 00:48:56 It's fucking confusing. Jeez. So, so, sweet one I get. Get a heavy present twice. Like when you got your birthday on Stephen's day or Boxing Day
Starting point is 00:49:05 so yeah the original one back in the corner yeah definitely people who get too affronted is that the word by
Starting point is 00:49:12 yeah just make the problem your own if someone's slagging off yeah your team but more to the
Starting point is 00:49:18 point your player your player yeah individual players teams I'm like you want to defend your team people have got like a logo the badge yeah they You want to defend your team. Yeah. People have got like a logo,
Starting point is 00:49:26 the badge. Yeah. And they'll want to defend that team. But when you start to defend individual players, like it starts... Over nothing as well. Yeah. It starts getting a little bit fucking intrusive.
Starting point is 00:49:36 Calm down. He's not sitting around your place on Sunday having dinner. Why don't you make him an Instagram page? All right. Here's my last one. This one is like... I don't know if this is one, but we'll see. to Grand Page. Alright, here's my last one. This one is like, I don't know if this is one but we'll see. Muggles drink water
Starting point is 00:49:49 when they're drinking so they don't get too drunk. I'm not looking at you on this one. I don't know if you do that. No, I know you know because I don't but only because
Starting point is 00:49:58 I keep forgetting. It's not about not getting too drunk but have you ever had one of those nights where you're down a ton of water before you go to bed
Starting point is 00:50:05 and your hangover is like fucking mild in the morning yeah but before bed fine before bed that's fine I'm talking about
Starting point is 00:50:11 people who like they'll be in rounds and then like every third drink they'll go oh give me a pint of water as well what are you doing
Starting point is 00:50:16 they'll replace the drink they'll not do a little no no they'll still have the drink but they'll have a water as well for you and they'll be like I don't want to get too drunk and you're like
Starting point is 00:50:22 no but then don't drink don't drink then ducking their own round yeah the round comes to them they get a water for themselves 7 euro off yeah
Starting point is 00:50:29 I'm talking about people who drink water along with their drinks so they don't get too drunk I'm all about yeah that's fine drinking water before you go to bed fine
Starting point is 00:50:36 that is fine electrolytes and shit because I never do it but I always like the one or two times that I have done it it's great yeah where someone's hooked us up
Starting point is 00:50:43 yeah like when I lived with Jimmy McGee he would always fucking come in no matter what stage of drunk and he'd make some electrolytes. I'm all about the electrolytes, yeah. The more the electrolyte you can drink the better.
Starting point is 00:50:51 And then you wake up like even still like you wake up in the afternoon but you're just like I just feel still a little bit tipsy. Yeah, yeah. It's not even a full-blown hangover. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:50:59 I think if you're doing it to maintain your like sobriety it's like why are you out? In fact, more importantly why am I in fact more importantly why am I hanging out with you fuck fuck
Starting point is 00:51:10 it's hard it's hard to argue that from the position of a total square right now it's such a fucking square right now you may as well pay rent you're going to be
Starting point is 00:51:19 in the corner so much you and Cody yesterday were fucking discussing that I'm clearly only doing this for the beach in Paquette yeah 100% in Melbourne
Starting point is 00:51:27 you can't wait to see it come off the rails you're going to be such a mess hit the skids you think I'm going to do the drinking of three festivals yeah but also you're going to have a water
Starting point is 00:51:34 every fourth drink keep yourself sober I'm going to have a sip of water now between muggle corners keep yourself keep yourself not muggly go on what's your last one?
Starting point is 00:51:46 Right, this might be a little bit harsh. Okay. Because it's just people being sweet. I already like it. It's just people being sweet and people being full of love and people coming from all the right place, but a place of pure, unfiltered muggle. Wanky family art.
Starting point is 00:52:04 Like a picture of the dad's foot next to the child's foot in black and white like scrabble pieces making out the names of every member of your family
Starting point is 00:52:11 100% no this is straight I don't even have to I don't even have to debate this one this is up there with live laugh love yeah but like
Starting point is 00:52:17 it's great you love your family and you're obsessed over your family and it's fucking adorable but it's so muggly yeah and it's everywhere like you know like so muggly yeah and it's and it's everywhere
Starting point is 00:52:25 like you know like a you know like a a framed picture of your daughter's footprint yeah muggly I mean that's again
Starting point is 00:52:32 I think that's okay in your house but not on your Facebook page yeah if you're outwardly projected but even in the house it's still it's still muggly
Starting point is 00:52:42 and you know what one day I'll probably fucking end up having some muggly family wanky art in my house 100% if I, it's still muggly. And you know what? One day, I'll probably fucking end up having some muggly family wanky art in my house. 100%. If I had a family, I'd be so fucking polluted
Starting point is 00:52:50 with oxytocins that I'd just like, oh, my family are the world. This is my world in one photo. They'll have made you happy again because you're going to be so fucking miserable by then.
Starting point is 00:53:00 Fuck that noise. Just be like, I'm fucking, my son's movie took away. I've called my son Mitrovich. Put your helmet back on. Come for a walk with your dad. It's my child's first helmet.
Starting point is 00:53:22 This is when I'm 70 and my kid's 30. I can agree with that but with stipulations I think if you're social media posting it or if you're showing people it on your phone
Starting point is 00:53:32 then that's bullshit in your own home in your own home it's fine but like because what I find muggle about it even when it's
Starting point is 00:53:37 in your own home you're just like doing someone else's idea of art yeah but you're applying it to your I think actually
Starting point is 00:53:43 I think the stipulation is yeah I think the stipulation is yeah I think the stipulation will probably be that parenthood makes you do it do you know what I mean
Starting point is 00:53:50 yeah neither of us can really comment on it because we don't have kids although we know about lads lads with dicks penis problems hashtag penis problems
Starting point is 00:54:10 hashtag penis problems hashtag feeling blessed hashtag sorry not sorry that's a shout out to Gary Little so on the topic of apparently of parenting ugly things right so um erin started dan's wife started showing us a video of his daughter playing and it was there it was just from earlier that day right he's like oh look at her she's dancing with music on and everything
Starting point is 00:54:40 right and she showed us that she's shown us the. And I look up from the video and there's Dolly in front of us. Dancing. With the exact same outfit on as she has in the video. And I look back and I'm like, you might as well just be videoing your daughter
Starting point is 00:54:52 and making us look at the phone. Yeah. The exact same thing that you're showing us on the phone is happening three feet away. Yeah, exactly. I'm like, why? Like, what?
Starting point is 00:55:00 Do you not see this the way I see it? Maybe it wasn't. Maybe you were actually filming it and you just don't know maybe you were in a car crash and you forgot maybe
Starting point is 00:55:09 yeah so I'm going to say that's in the corner with stipulations with certain stipulations with wanky family art yeah I agree with that what are the types
Starting point is 00:55:19 of wanky family art because I guess don't you you were saying last week your parents have it right oh yeah they've got Love, Love, Love with the with the three of you right yeah Because I guess, you were saying last week, your parents have it, right? Oh yeah, they've got Love, Laugh, Love. Love, Laugh, Love, yeah, with the three of you, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:30 Do you want to know something funny? You have one. No, this is quite funny, but I don't know how much it would annoy the person if it got back to them. You've got to play it. Definitely, darling. So right, not the live laugh love photo frame yeah
Starting point is 00:55:46 but as soon as you come in there's a photo frame on the right with six photos in and it's like just different family members but like me and Natalie
Starting point is 00:55:53 will be in one yeah Justine and Gavin will be in one Justine and Gavin and because my sister's boyfriend's called Gavin
Starting point is 00:56:00 as well as my brother being called Gavin no no Gavin your brother is going out with Justin yep so and then a picture
Starting point is 00:56:06 of Logan and a picture of my mum and dad but then there's a picture of Gavin and his girlfriend but Gavin doesn't have a girlfriend it's Gavin's ex-girlfriend that's in the photo right
Starting point is 00:56:13 Gavin's ex-girlfriend is they broke up like a year and a half ago right yeah two year ago maybe two and a half year ago maybe but they just haven't
Starting point is 00:56:21 changed the frame and no one seems to have noticed it no one moves on but what I laugh now is because Gav's ex-girlfriend is now going
Starting point is 00:56:28 out with UFC flyweight Paddy Houlihan who's in the same fucking he was in the UFC
Starting point is 00:56:36 he's a coach now he's got his own gym he coaches Orla who I think you've met
Starting point is 00:56:42 the girl who does the door for me he coaches MMA with her. He was in Kavanaugh's stable. He's fucking Conor McGregor's, one of Conor McGregor's entourage. Yep. She's going out with fucking one of the hardest men in the known universe.
Starting point is 00:56:54 Yep. And I just walk into my family home where I grew up, my dad's house, and I look and go, oh, there's Paddy Houlihan's bed. Well, it'd be weirder as if they take Gav out of it and just have her. For Paddy in. For Paddy Houlihan's bed. Well, it'd be weirder as if they take Gav out of it and just have her. Put Paddy in. Put Paddy in. Paddy the hooligan Houlihan.
Starting point is 00:57:12 Paddy the hooligan Houlihan in Blyde's family homes. Oh, it's fucking hilarious. Oh my God. Right, let's review them. Muggles wear bike helmets even when they're off their bike. Yes, I do.
Starting point is 00:57:23 Corner. Muggles don't like folding the corners're off their bike. Yes, I do. Corner. Muggles don't like folding the corners of pages on books. Yeah. Corner. Corner fuckers. Muggles drink water
Starting point is 00:57:31 when they're drinking so they don't get too drunk. Oh, that one's debatable. I'll let it creep through. Straight in. What are you talking about? It's not a top corner one, is it?
Starting point is 00:57:38 It's a top corner corner. It's not a top corner one. People who do generic impressions of where you're from, where you're from, calm down, calm down. Tiddly-D potatoes,
Starting point is 00:57:47 put a shrimp in the barbie, put a muggle in the fucking corner. Actually, I should say, when you say Tiddly-D potatoes, it's Diddly-D potatoes. Even though nobody says it, it's Diddly-D. It's whatever the fuck I want it to be.
Starting point is 00:57:59 I'm not mocking the person mocking you. You know, the person mocking you says Diddly-D, but I'm mocking them, so I'm going to do the same thing, otherwise I'm just them. You say Tickly-D. It's Tickly-D mocking you says diddly-dee but I'm mocking them so I'm not going to do the same thing otherwise I'm just them you say tickly-doo spiddly-dee spiddly-did-dunk
Starting point is 00:58:09 football fans get over-attached to individual players to the point they feel like they need to defend them like their family just go in the corner
Starting point is 00:58:18 just go in you know what Mitrovic I'm not that fussed about your health if I'm honest yeah calm down Mitrovic
Starting point is 00:58:23 score a goal just the family wanker that you parade around yeah you put the I'm not that fussed about your health, if I'm honest. Calm down, Mishavish. Score a goal. Just the family wanker that you parade around. Yeah. You put the stipulation on it if it's in your house? In the house. I think that means that there's not many people going in the corner for this one. If you've got it in the house, you've just been a closet muggle.
Starting point is 00:58:38 Okay. Yeah, I'll agree with that. If you think anybody else cares about the foot against the foot or the printed foot or the clay cast of a hand or any of that. I've got framed footprints of my foot. Have you? Every year. It's scratch and sniff. You scratch my balls, then you sniff the picture.
Starting point is 00:58:59 What? I don't know. What are you talking about, kissy tulips? What time are we on? We time? We've got time before I fucking blast my dad's. Let's fucking do it.
Starting point is 00:59:09 Verbally, verbally. Finger blast. Who's going? You're going? So we always love to end on this game where we just take pot shots at each other's dads. Pot shots like this.
Starting point is 00:59:20 Andrew Stanley. Your dad stands on the beach waving at sailors he does he used to be a sailor your dad pays for things with exact change fucking weirdo
Starting point is 00:59:33 counts it out ruins the queue and then stands there while the check check the air catches air is that enough
Starting point is 00:59:41 you know it's enough you've got a brain your dad puts some hand lotion on his own back with the soles of his feet what Is that enough? You know it's enough. You've got a brain. Your dad puts some tan lotion on his own back with the soles of his feet. What? He lies on his front. Your dad keeps his tie on after work. Just his tie.
Starting point is 00:59:57 And he's a PE teacher. He wears it with a tracksuit. It's weird. Your dad picks away the clear layer around a dishwasher tablet, not realizing that it's a soluble part of the tablet. Your dad helps with the collection basket at mass. He's not even Catholic. It's helpful. It's helpful.
Starting point is 01:00:18 Your dad makes motorbike... Your dad makes motorbike noises all the way through spin class. Your dad brings an apple to work for his boss. Gross. Your dad combs his eyebrows, slides the comb into his shade pocket before confidently strutting up the birds. That's fair enough. It does.
Starting point is 01:00:47 Like in the 90s Italian. My dad used the carrier gun. Breath free. It's all true. Your dad wears the full Newcastle kit. Two games. Socks and all.
Starting point is 01:00:54 Worries about himself. He's like, put me on. Your dad's bigoted online and whenever someone corrects his spell and he plays the victim
Starting point is 01:01:07 and says he's dyslexic that's fair enough your dad's favourite character in Street Fighter is Chun-Li spinning bird kick you know there's a bird in Soul Calibur
Starting point is 01:01:18 there's a 50 in Soul Calibur oh yeah on the Dreamcast the graphics started getting good and you could go on this like practice mode where you could go on this like practice mode
Starting point is 01:01:26 where you could just make them do the moves but you're not playing against anyone but then you can pause it and you can like pan around oh for fuck's sake
