Morning, afternoon or night
I don't know whether you're fucking listening to this
My name is Daniel Sloss and you are listening to Sloss and Humphreys on the Road
Where me, Netflix's Daniel Sloss
Joins my friend Concordia Leisure Centre's
Kai Humphreys
As we discuss many topics about
Kai's faux pas on the internet
Drug binging and of course your dad jokes
At the end. Enjoy and stay safe
Sloss and Humphreys on the road
Muggins and cream Cream and muggins Straight thuggin' living the dream Fucking muggles Enjoy and stay safe. Right, since we're a kind of professional outfit, kiss, kiss, kiss. Or am I just being cynical? Just muggled it up on fucking Mugglopedia.
Where have you been since 9-11?
Right, since we're
a kind of professional outfit,
how do you want to start this?
Would you be offended
if I said not
with a fucking song?
So no songs.
Idiom?
What's an idiom?
What's an idiom?
It's like,
like,
one in the hand,
one in the...
Have you just used
a word that you
don't know the meaning of
it was all vowels
I was trying to say
a bird in a hand
is worth
two in the bush
but I couldn't remember
what it was
so I was like
what in the hand
two in the stink
a bird in the hand
is worth two in the stink
that makes sense
okay that's an idiom
so I was trying to
remember the idiom
as I was saying it so an idiom. So I was trying to remember the idiom as I was saying it.
So an idiom's just like a
saying?
Kind of, yeah,
but like a common saying
that kind of
highlights a...
How does it differ
from a metaphor or a simile?
I guess it's in the same bracket
as a metaphor and a simile.
It's just a typo.
It's like a Shakespearean...
Aye.
So it should start like this.
Well no, this is, fuck you, this is content.
I was trying to work backwards, manufacture. Because also
I'm very interested in the word idiom because
do you reckon it's related
sorry to get into the etymology of it, but idiom
and idiot. Do you reckon idio
is Latin for something and those are
related? Possibly, yeah. Is it like trying
to spell out a complicated
thought process with this stupid metaphor
about birds in a bush?
So instead of trying to appeal to someone's
knowledge, you go, right, we're going to idiot
this one.
Right, okay, so there's a bird in your hand,
right? That's way better than two in the
bush, because you've got that one.
And those two over there aren't in your position,
so you'd rather have the one in your hand than the
two. So an idiom is trying to...
It's explaining the world to a moron.
You puppetry with words.
Yes.
Just to make them pay attention to all the things.
Put it in a more palatable way for morons.
You know what?
If that's not the etymology, we've changed it.
That is what it is.
If only there was some sort of online thing where we could research.
Oh, like an intranet, but with the whole globe.
Yeah.
Like as if...
An intranet that went outside the company.
Aye.
Like as if there was...
And again, I would really like people to understand this is our original idea.
So don't run away with it.
I've never been nicking this.
But like some sort of worldwide...
I don't know
like network
like in WWN
yeah WWN
a network that
connects us
all together
it's filled with
information
and maybe some
sort of engine
that searches
and you can like
skate the net
ah that's it
like a sort of
skateboard across it
or you can grind
the rails
of the
interwebbage
interwebbage.
Interwebbage.
Man, we say, that was a joke of us pertaining to the internet.
The amount of times I do that with things in real life,
where I go, I'm pretty sure I made this up.
And then you go, oh no, no I didn't.
Much like you and egg fried rice. Egg fried rice.
I've been making egg fried rice for a while before.
As long as egg fried rice has existed?
Well, possibly not as long.
As long as the Chinese have had it.
Who had it first?
So basically I would make rice and I'd boil rice.
Aye.
And then I'd put the boiled rice in a pan.
Uh-huh.
And then I'd crack a couple of eggs in.
Wait, how would you boil the rice not in a pan?
Well, I'm just saying like, not in the microwave.
Like boil the rice.
I invented that now. Some people just put it in the microwave like boil the rice I invented that now
some people just put it
in the microwave
I get them like
raw
I do not think
I'm so sorry
I don't think there's
anyone in the world
that microwaves rice
no no
I'm sure there are
millions of people
but they've only
ever done it once
like you only ever
microwave rice once
Uncle Ben's
only what
I was pretending
I only knew of Uncle Ben's
and then I've discovered this new discovery
that was mass rice.
Okay, well, we've got some chemistry of the day.
For once.
I remember I showed Elliot,
I'd been doing it for ages,
just making my own food.
I was like, Elliot,
you've seen this one at day rate.
I fucking get the rice,
strain it in the sieve,
pour it in there,
crack an egg in,
and you can see the egg
fucking mixing in with the rice and all that. I wasve, pour it in there, crack an egg in, and you can see the egg fucking mixing in with the rice
and all that.
I was like,
Kai, are you trying to pass off
egg fried rice as your own thing?
I think,
oh, that's an egg fried rice.
I never put two and two together.
So what you're saying is
I should take back all the patents
I just sent away
to make them all refund me the money.
All right.
So write in if you have anything
you thought you invented,
but it existed.
All right.
This is just turning into a fucking radio show.
We're going to do it regularly,
obviously.
We're going to have segments,
which, by the way,
we put a shout out last time
for people to write in.
I printed it out.
It's doing stairs, isn't it?
We're not going to get it.
Do I want to go get it?
No, I don't know what it is.
Well, you keep them talking.
Oh, sure.
Why not?
So we're done tell them
why are you still talking
because I'm making
still the hours
tell them about
we're done the school thing
what school thing
romantic school moments
hey
that's what the question was
romantic school moments
I don't remember
the last podcast
I was fucking
sorry right
I'll talk to you
cunts while he's away
I don't remember
the last podcast
because I was
immensely high during it
as I often am
during any of my conversations
with another human being
I find it makes them more
I don't know
bearable
especially Kai
that accent's grinding
until you're stoned
out your fucking head
and then it just becomes
I don't know
it's like watching
Primetime Telly
and it's degrading
but
oh hiya
so can you not remember
the last podcast
because you were high
I was baked
how have you found
how have you found
not being high
let's get on to that
later on
okay
I said
surprise
because you went
downstairs to get this
I noticed you
had to tease them
with that
oh right okay
so you want to talk
about surprise then
doing so with Jan
it's
you know
but it fucking it is what it is like it's I like doing so much it's you know it is what it is
like it's
I like doing it in January
I like doing it
I'm going to make sure
I do it every year
because I just think
it's a good way
to sort of like
just
especially for me
to send the pendulum
the other way
I'm an all or nothing person
so when I'm in stoner mode
I'm in full
most hours of the fucking day
yeah
and it's
because I often use it just as a way of sort of shutting my mind up for a bit
or just calming it down a bit.
The chatter.
Yeah, just the chatter.
And, you know, to help me stop the overthinking.
But in January you want to go, right, what have you got to say before I shrit you up again?
Aye, well, no, no.
But this, I'm trying to combine it with,
you know, fucking more meditation.
And I'm listening to a bunch of lectures
on the science of mindfulness
because I don't believe in anything
unless it's peer-reviewed.
Like, you can talk...
Even though there's like 4,000 years
of fucking meditation and proof that it works,
until that's in a fucking scientific paper,
I don't believe that it does work.
So listening to this science, it's fucking fascinating, man.
And it's just about how, like,
our brains were never, ever, ever designed to make us happy.
At no point in our fucking history, right?
So you've got, the reason we get...
It's just designed to hunt for food.
It's designed...
Hunt for food and reproduce.
And survive, right?
So, like, the reason we've all got panicky,
so the reason every human is prone to anxiety, right,
is because millions of years ago,
back when we were fucking hunter-gatherers or whatnot,
or fucking...
Well, weeks ago, if you may.
Throwing spears at bison.
It's a recent memory.
But, like, there was a time in history
where if you were walking
through a fucking,
I don't know,
like a jungle or a forest
or whatever, right?
And there'd be a shape
about 50 yards away
in the bushes, right?
Now there's,
and you don't know what it is.
And there's two things it could be.
It could either be a rock
or it could be a lion, right?
Now for the people
who said they'd go,
fuck, that's a lion, right?
And they'd run away from a rock,
doesn't matter.
They ran away and survived. But the people went, oh, that's a rock. And it turned out it could's a lion right and they run away from a rock doesn't matter they ran away and survived but the people went oh that's a rock and it turned out to be a lion
are dead so none of their dna exists the only dna exists in all of us is the dna that ran away from
dangers and if you want to see that if you want to see that in action that is it a story is it a
lion in action put a cucumber behind your cat.
So it's just this sort of like,
and hearing that,
I was like, that explains a lot.
I think our minds are designed to look for threats all the time,
all the time.
And when we don't see any,
it's not like our brain goes,
oh, there's no threats.
Our brain goes, I'll make up a bunch.
And that's where you find yourself
thinking either too much in the future
or too much in the fucking past.
And what mindfulness is,
is just the very, very calm act of,
you know, bringing yourself back to...
The other fascinating thing I found out,
which blew the shit off my mind.
Obviously, the brain's a muscle.
Well, no, it's not.
Sorry.
The word like was meant to be in there.
The brain is like a muscle it has memory
then i mean muscles are like a brain they have memory but if you work out and see if you if you
lift weights every day you'll have a nice fucking chest by the end of it right and if you panic all
the time you're just working up the panicky part of your brain and there's genuine fucking uh
science if four weeks of mindfulness i was just practicing it reduces the anxiety part of your brain. And there's genuine fucking science. If four weeks of mindfulness
I was just practising,
it reduces the anxiety part of your brain
and it increases the handling part.
I don't know what the names of these bits are.
I haven't listened to that much
of the fucking lecture.
But it's just...
I just want to be verified.
I don't need to see the work.
But what I...
So during the sober month,
I'm going to try and make sure...
In the moments where I know
I'd normally fucking reach for a joint,
just to shut my fucking brain off
I'll
hopefully when it comes to
fucking February and March
I'll
my instant reaction
won't necessarily be
to just go for that
my reaction will be
to just deal with it
and then getting high
will be what it used to be
which is just a fucking
fun thing all the time
and don't get me wrong
when I was high all the time
I was very happy all the time I wasn't ever in these sort of the only sort of sad not sad moments
but we have just going this is i don't want to be a stoner for the rest of my life yeah i don't want
to be a stoner you start putting stuff off and you start putting stuff off and you start accumulating
stuff that you know you should do and that bothers you throughout the day so i've started this like
really achievable goals for the start of, like, since New Year,
is I want to take 50 press-ups every day,
meditate every day,
read at least a chapter of my book every day,
and say, even just them three things, right?
Let's just start with them three,
and I'll add more habits to it.
And those are things like drink five pints of water
and fucking...
What I like today is,
instead of us getting to fucking
six o'clock in the day
and I haven't read
any of my book
I haven't done my press ups
because that means
and you haven't meditated yet
it's lingering
and you've got this
lingering feeling all day
that you've got stuff to do
I do them things
as soon as I get out of bed
as soon as I get out of bed
I do my push ups
I do my meditating
I read a chapter in my book
and I drink five pints of water
and then I get
my breakfast
lunch
and dinner
all in one
all in one
fucking all in
and it's a
shag me last
have a wank
and then I lie
on the couch
and I stew
for the rest of the
and I know I look
like I'm miserable
but I've done
all me chores
I've done all me chores I've done all me chores
I'm allowed to have this
tomorrow
I've blown it
I've blown it
I'm like
how is this good for you
just pissing and shitting
more than you've ever done
in your entire life
being like
aye
this is how I practice
mindfulness
just get it out the way
get it done I have. Get it done.
I have all me month's shit on the first.
Just get,
I know.
The first of the month,
four months worth of shit.
Get the bish bash bosh.
Have you managed to,
I've,
I've,
so I've given up booze
and I've given up weed
for,
for this month.
But I've gone,
I've gone back on my bullshit on one thing.
I've,
I've,
I've got, much like you, I've got one vice now.
In Vegas?
In Vegas, I'm like, coffee's me one vice.
You want to see?
What your vice is?
Hair gel.
Was it cool mint?
It looks like a tub of hair gel.
Now it looks like chewing gums.
Schnoose.
Schnoose.
You're fucking schnoosing.
Hi.
Schnoose.
Me and Cara were in Sainsbury's yesterday, right?
And I wasn't...
Yesterday morning and early afternoon
was just one of those times
where I could feel myself wanting wheat
because the chatter in my brain was getting too much.
But I was just...
I was like, just bring yourself back to the moment.
You're shopping with your girlfriend.
There's nothing...
It's a fun experience.
You know, there's no point being in your head about this.
Why are you worried about shit
when you've got this fast-gator hand?
And that worked for a bit.
And then we walked down the aisle
and I was like,
schnooze!
Schnooze has made it to the UK
because schnooze has been
in Scandinavia
for fucking ever.
Which is weird
because you have it in bars
where you're drinking
so you're sloshing beers down
with fucking a
tea bag in your lip.
For those of you
that don't know what schnooze is,
schnooze is like a small
white bag of
Tobacco.
Aye. Nicotine tobacco and flavouring that the Scandics what schnoos is schnoos is like a small white bag of tobacco aye
nicotine tobacco
and flavouring
the Scandics
shove in their gums
and it's very bad
for you
but it puts nicotine
into your
it's like sucking
a nicotine patch
aye
essentially
and
I have just
because I know
at the moment
I'm always going to
have the moments
where I reach for something
and obviously the goal is to get past those moments
and get past that fucking, that instinct.
But for now, man, I've quit nicotine loads of times.
I'm real good at it.
I've done it so many times.
This is...
It's one of your skills.
Aye, aye.
And I know that sounds like I'm not good at it.
I know by its very definition it's not good.
But I'm just using this.
I'm just going like one a day.
Don't get fucking addicted to it.
But if it ever becomes too much,
just the process of doing something negative,
just the process of just,
this is just for me.
I know it's bad.
I can't do this.
It's like, you know,
it's like comfort food
but I don't want to
I had comfort food all last year
towards the end there
because I started eating well Sunday
I meant to start on Monday
but I started Sunday
I started eating well from Sunday
so that's two days now
I'm halfway through my second day
of not putting a morsel in my mouth that I didn't need
like the sugars and the sweets and the treats everything is food for fuel I'm halfway through my second day of not putting a morsel in my mouth that I didn't need. You know,
like the sugars and the sweets
and the treats, right?
Everything is food for fuel.
Like,
but building up to that,
up until that Saturday,
the end of that Saturday,
I've fucking done a whole month's eating.
I was just,
anything that got in my mouth
was going in my mouth.
Aye.
Aye.
Just sucking out my glasses,
dildos.
I had the same old thing.
I think I've had calories up when she used them.
My main thing was wearing a bunch of, obviously,
the tips for the fucking weed pen.
And they're in the fucking weed drawer,
what Cara calls her drawer of nightmares,
because I just pull it out and leave it on the table.
Thus, it's not a drawer.
It's a drawer I've removed and I've turned it into a box.
It's just a fruit bowl.
Aye, of all these wonderful different flavours of the happy sauce.
And I'm like, look,
I'm going to be tempted by those in January.
So what I'll do is I'll smoke all of them now.
Did you do what I did with food, but with weed?
Aye, absolutely.
I like this.
I know it's fucking super muggly today.
It's bound to be in Muggle Conan.
Oh, of course it is.
But they enjoy January and New Year's resolutions
and all that
but I like that
having a starting point
so that you can actually
like
not feel guilty
about taking it
off the fucking road
before you get
to that starting point
so that you can
absolutely hit the skids
like the fucking
last week of the Fringe
in fact like
all of the Fringe
but that last week
in particular
where you just
fucking gave up
all
all the things
that keep your
mental health
do you mind that
you just let go
I'm sure we fucking
told this story
in the podcast before
but it was
fucking five or six
festivals ago
back when we were
fucking sesh hits
horrible horrible
sesh hits
like 2015
2016 era
aye
and it was just one of those things where, you know,
you're doing drugs most nights.
You're fucking drinking every day.
Fucking smoking weed fucking constantly.
The second last night at the Fringe,
Ari fucking Shafir comes up to me and Elliot Steele
and he goes, one of my fans gave me acid
because that's what Ari Shafir fans do.
He's like, do you and Elliot want to do it?
And I was like, no, I hate acid.
I've got a spike within Benidorm once.
It's not for me. And he goes, I'd hate for I've got a spike within Benidorm once it's not for me
and he goes
I'd hate that
for that to be
your relationship
with us
it's dead fun
it's dead nice
you can send your
mind to good places
I took some
45 minutes ago
it's really nice
it's really nice
and we were like
no I'm not going
to do that
and then
and I don't
respect that he did
this but he did
he went
poof
and that was enough.
That was absolutely enough
for a 26-year-old me
to be like, well, fuck you then.
And me and Elliot took it.
And then 15 minutes later,
Ari Shafir comes up to me
and Elliot, he goes,
oh God, I've made a huge mistake.
It's so strong.
And we were like, huh?
He goes, it gets way worse.
And we were like, don't, what?
Huh, huh?
I cannot remember
the answer phone message he sent me
because I took it off
that night the same as you guys.
I bumped into him independently from you two.
So I ended up on it.
And he left me an answer phone message going,
Kai, I've massively misjudged this.
I'm absolutely zoinked.
It was the three of us just in fucking stitches laughing.
I'm zoinked.
I'm zoinked.
He was in a bunker of a golf course on his own.
Aye, and then he also forgot that he was leaving an answer phone message for three minutes.
So it was like, Kai, fuck, I'm leaving an answer phone message for three minutes aye so it was like can't fuck I'm joined
and then three minutes
of silence
as Anna Shaffir
watched airplanes
and then went
oh
and then did he not
like think he was
on the phone
or was that something
and was like hello
thought he butt dialed us
but aye that one
you fucked us right
because I knew
you was on it right
and you was well
up ahead of me
and you were in the
loft bar
and I was with Natalie
and a couple of her friends
that had come to Edinburgh
especially for the Fringe
and then the doors of the lift opened
and fucking you and Elliot
were just like
you looked like you'd seen a ghost
you were like
we need to get out of here
it's kicking in
we can't be in this environment
and you just fucking darted past us
not much more explanation than that
and mine was starting to kick in and I was feeling it but you fucking darted past us not much more explanation than that and mine was starting
to kick in
and I was feeling it
but he just gave us
that instant fear
and I was like
well I can't
I can't go with them
because I've got
like a bunch of guests
that I'll need
the artist passes
to get into these places
that they come to hang out
and I ended up
going up in the loft bar
and I sat down
on the floor
and the girls
I'll just made a circle
around us
like they put their bags
they just so
nobody could get at us
so I didn't end up
having any
boring conversations
that are like
oh how's the show going
the mundane conversation
that you're fine
with having normally
because it's a part
of conversation
but not when
you're on action
genuinely interested
half the time
because these are people
I haven't seen in ages
but I didn't want to be
on fucking acid
and talking about
my show
not a chance
and I went to the toilet I had to fucking on fucking acid and titan, but we sure, not a chance. And I went to the toilet.
I had to fucking leave the circle, right?
And I'm fucking,
I get to the toilet and he won't bother us.
He's doing all that.
And I get back and it was,
you know Mark Dolan?
Aye.
Mark Dolan just like,
he just spotted us and his face lit up
and he was like,
oh Kai, how you doing?
He's like,
I haven't seen you in ages.
Have you been hiding from us,
our friends, right?
And I looked up at him
and his face was just like
a fucking clown feature
as in Melton and all that
and I was just like
his face was like
mushing around
and he's
it's like
if you know that I said before
I genuinely don't recommend it
it's like
I know some people
not the environment
it's not a party drug
don't think it's a party drug
I know some
you're not a party on it
sorry
aye
but it's
their face turns into
a fucking Picasso painting it's like a face turns into a fucking Picasso painting.
It's like a moving
fucking picture.
Do you know what I mean?
It felt like I was looking
through a fisheye lens as well.
Like fucking,
like you're looking
through a peephole.
And his face was like,
it looked like.
Sure, it wasn't just
through a bong-eyed lens.
It was through a bong-eyed lens too.
But it felt like his face
was closer than it needed to be
and it was all rounded
and mushy
and he was like,
he was being nice.
I can remember the words and all that. He was like, oh, how are you doing? Have you been hiding from us and all that? And I just, in his face was closer than it needed to be and it was all rounded and mushy and he was being nice. I can remember the words and all that.
He was like,
oh, how are you doing?
Have you been hiding from us and all that?
And I just, in his face, right,
with everything, I went,
nah, mate.
Nah, mate.
No explanation.
I fucking got out of there.
Have you seen him since?
Nah.
Nah, I haven't.
I'm sure he'll fucking be arid.
I'm sure he'll be fine.
He's normally sound.
This is the faux parts you were talking about
when something bothers you.
We talked about it two podcasts ago,
but I read something since then that's fucking amazing.
Someone said,
never dwell on the stuff that you've said
that you think people are thinking about and talking about
because they're probably talking about
something completely different that you did
that passed you by.
I thought that was fucking amazing.
There's probably so much shit that I
can't even remember
doing that I should
be worried about
to worry about the
stuff I can't
remember
me and Elliot
went back to
Mount we got a
fucking taxi
where we just
sat in terrified
silence and then
we went back to
our old house
and we built a
fort and watched
road wars
I'll come back
and you just
won't fucking
alligator onesies
and that
aye
and then
so we fucking
stayed up all day
none of us got any
fucking sleep
and it was the last
of the festival
and I remember thinking
I've absolutely
fucking fucked this
like I've beyond
fucked this
it's going to be
the worst show
I've ever done
like I've not slept
I've not fucking eaten
I've not drank
I'm fucking shaking
all the time
best gig of the run
learned absolutely
zero lesson
but
that being said
I reckon
that this year I reckon that
this year
I just remember
laughing from that night
before we move on from it
I ended up
when I got back to bed
Al and Natalie's mates
crashed in my bed
it was like a
six in the bed scenario
and I was the only one
that wasn't a fit woman
right
so I was just
like
no it was happening
the wild
crashed into sleep
but I'm still
in this situation, right?
And I could hear he's laughing and carrying on in another room.
And I just whacked through.
And I was like, I just whacked through with my boxers.
And I just went, I was just lying in bed there with six birds.
And I thought, is that me mates laughing?
What are they up to?
My girls!
What are they up to?
You can't let your mates laugh and not know not want to know
what they're laughing at
I think
I'm
I'm
I'm hanging up

my drug nose

I've done it
I've done it
and I'm not going to say
never

what was said
with the cigarettes
it's like
you've got
you've got one use
aye
where you can see
what happened to
smoke they made
but I also
and this isn't to
fucking
besmirch anyone else
this is just me
on my own
personal journey
on January the 4th
I'd love to listen
to the New Year's
podcast from last year
aye it'll definitely be us going oh we should take some water disgust that aye fourth I'd love to listen to the New Year's podcast from last year aye
it'll definitely be us
going oh we should
take some water
I would disgust that
aye
but no I just
I've done years of
drugs and stuff
and it was
it was fun
it was good
but
just get to that point
in the session
where you go
I've done this
every session's the same now
and you just go
I'm just on drugs
and this isn't fun
and
I just don't get anything
out of it anymore yeah and I am, I'm just on drugs and this isn't fun and I just don't get anything out of it anymore.
Yeah.
And I am also,
I'm dead,
dead good
at saying no.
Ah,
you've done that to me
on New Year's Eve
and I wasn't impressed
by the way.
Aye.
Where were we?
It was just me
and he left.
Aye.
And it was like,
end of the night,
New Year's Eve,
we'd just fucking finished
a rake of air,
a fucking,
of like,
coping.
Aye. A rake of air coping. fucking, of like, coping. Aye.
A rake of air coping.
Cara was asleep on the couch.
Natalie had gone to take a Zoom call
with a couple of our pals
before we went to bed
and I poured me an ear shot.
Aye.
At two in the morning?
At two in the morning.
Shot of vodka.
Aye.
Had you poured,
had it been,
I was going to say Sambuca,
I wouldn't have done Sambuca.
I might have done a Jaeger,
I might have done a,
but it was also two in the morning
and we were clearly just about to go bed. I just did a shot, it was four of us. Aye. And I'm like, why Sam Booker I wouldn't have done Sam Booker I might have done a Jaeger but it was also two in the morning and we were clearly
just about to go bed
I just did a shot
there's four of us
and I'm like
why on earth
would I want one shot
just before we
do feel sick
just before I go to bed
because I remember
I'm a fucking hamad
everyone looking at each other
you both go at each other
who are you performing to?
there's nobody
there's no cameras on
why are you performing?
I'm like
why are you performing?
I'm like
who's this for
who's this show
it's just me
we're both
we're both shouting at each other
there's no cameras on
this isn't a podcast
we're not recording anything
I even done the
poody poody poo
it didn't work
I'm
I like
I'm good
when I say
when I say I've stopped
something I do
like you know
tell us something
if I brought you the best friend card, you would have fucking...
I would have had to.
I'm going to say, like, as long as there's a fucking...
Rock the whole entire fucking fabric of our friendship, just that.
But had you used the best friend card in that situation...
You would have been fucking mad at us,
and you would have used it on something terrible.
Aye, exactly.
Aye.
So what you're doing is you're shooting me
while also handing me a loaded gun.
Aye, you're like, I really didn't want to do it, so I'm going to get... It'll be, like, a noted. Aye, but what you're doing is you're shooting me while also handing me a loaded gun. Aye, I really didn't want to do it,
so I'm going to be like a noted.
Aye, but noted.
Aye.
But I shouldn't come to that.
Happy New Year.
You know, it was good, though, waking up on New Year's Day
and not having a comedown.
Not having smoked 40 cigarettes.
Not having gone to bed at fucking 5 or 6am.
I'm so fucking bored of going to bed
after 2am
I'm like 9 and I've had
a good fucking 7 hours sleep
aye
em
so
I'm a big fan of that now
that me and Natalie
have got onto a bit
during lockdown
is just start drinking earlier
and go to bed
at a decent time
I've
see that's the thing
a bit more day drinky
when you say day drinky
you mean
like 4 or 5 o'clock,
like as soon as she finishes work or whatever,
like rather than just fucking.
So you do enjoy January?
I'm not committed to it,
but I,
I passed up a beer the other day.
I got back,
I got back to Natalie's and her dad and her brother,
we're both having a beer.
And I thought it was one straight away.
As soon as I went for the door,
I was like,
no,
I'm good.
Like,
it would be nice to join you,
but no,
because I'm going to
I'm going to get on as much
it's more like the fucking
calorie content of them
I'm just going to kind of
do a little bit of dietary
adaptation
I was fucking
eating literally
fucking everything and anything
I turned into a fucking
garbage can
that's a good way to be
it's a fun fucking
oh no I didn't resent it.
I wouldn't have changed it.
I had a class time.
I didn't...
It didn't come with any guilt.
I just...
Now you kind of keep that trajectory up.
Not at my age, man.
Sticks to you.
Moving on the lips,
forever on the hips.
I hear you.
Good, I hear you.
Is that an idiom?
I think it's...
So what we did...
Oh, I'll do it.
What we did what we did
last week
is we got talking
about
cringeworthy
romantic moments
at school
where you're trying
to be a charmer
you get rejected
it came from
a couple of
four parletters
one of them was
two of them
were school based
so we asked you
to send school based
ones
and guess what
you were all
fucking Casanovas
weren't you
you were all
Lotharios
at school
because we've only
got two
there's no way
our whole listenership
there was only two
missteps in school
and one of them's
the same lad
as the one
that's the lad
that dumped
his lass in the car
by phoning
the dad
right
sorry there
although my first
story covered this
I've sadly got another
12 years old
Valentine's Day
I had rostered I had a rostered day off to do the role,
a task where you visit every classroom
to collect attendance sheets.
Very fun day of fucking around class
and was having a blast.
Free day, casual dress,
rocking some new sunnies, great day.
Come break time, I give my girlfriend
at the time of Valentine's gift,
well thought out, good gift.
In return to this, she said she wants to break up.
Good thing I had my new sunnies
help the fact that
I cried for the
remaining four hours
of the school day
I don't know
right
I'm sorry
you said
he's not in class
so
he was crying
but he looked
cool as fuck
no he didn't
everyone's got
a fucking
check bottle
but no
no
unless there were
Fucking gutters
Under the bottom
Of the sunglasses
It's just tears
It's too rippish
It's so choked up
He choked us
Choked
Who's that sad
Rock star
In fucking
Classical studies
Is that fucking
Is that what's
From Merriblatt
Sounds like
He's got a cold
I also
sorry
Connor not to
pick on you too much
here
I gave my girlfriend
at the time
a Valentine's gift
well thought out
good gift
in return to this
she says she wants
to break up
so you didn't get
her good gift
what could the
gift have been
a picture of
someone else's
tits
that is a well
thought out
good gift
I wish
one day
one day you grow pennies
I mean
I'm trying to think
Of the fucking worst gift
I've ever gotten
Do I ever tell you
About the time
I gave a lass
A valentine's card
And she tipped exit out
And wrote it out
To someone else
You did
And it makes me
Filled with joy
That often comes up
In my meditation
What I'm grateful for
I practice my Metal loving kindness On her comes up in my meditation what I'm grateful for.
I practice my meta-loving kindness on her.
I'm just like, that's class.
What a good thing to do.
Solid last that, eh?
Really.
Right.
Hi, Muggins.
Hi, Cream.
When I was about nine years old,
I liked this boy at school.
One day after school,
a bunch of us were waiting for our parents out front
and he and I got to talking
I was being chatty
and I annoyed him so much
that he suddenly told me
fuck you
and then kneed me
in the cunt
hard
what
just then his mum pulled out
and he got in the car
and left
he got into her car
and left
so it was like
some cunt punting run
that the mum was in on
I wish I had the engine running
as soon as you see me knee hit, I can't pull up.
I need to get the fuck out of the dodge.
When my mum arrived to pick me up, did she also kick you in the cunt?
She found me sobbing in a puddle of humiliation.
I shouldn't be laughing at this.
On the ground with several classmates laughing at me from where they sat.
If we ever cross paths again, we are fighting.
Of course you are.
I'm 44 years old
and I'll beat his ass right now.
Love you both, Lena.
I absolutely,
absolutely harbour that.
Lena, Lena,
imagine,
imagine him remembering that story,
how fucking,
you know,
if he's like,
you know how Conor's writing in
and crying behind his sunglasses?
That lad's now 44 as well,
going,
oh,
oh,
I know. I was, last was at school, I was flirting with him and I thought he was mocking me and I kneed out in the corner. Connor's right now crying behind his sunglasses. That lad's now 44 as well going, oh, way near.
Last I was at school
I was flirting with him
and I thought
he was mocking me
and I kneed out of the cut.
I ran.
I kind of faced the world.
I know.
Went home and had to wash my knee
because it stank of fish.
And now I was only nine
but it still makes us cringe.
I'm sorry.
I thought it was Connor.
I'm also not proud of
I've said it already
this is a nine year old
I don't know
you can describe
a nine year old's vagina
I've smelt it like fish
aye
nah
nah
you probably shouldn't do that
but I've always wanted
a nine year old
to come in
god that's so
fuck it
you annoyed him so much
told me fuck you
I mean
people annoy me
don't get me wrong
it's crossed my mind
but do you reckon that do you reckon she was going full Helga Don't get me wrong, it's crossed my mind. But do you reckon that's...
Do you reckon she was going full Hilger off here, Arnold?
No, I think it's kids don't...
Call them football head.
You're not born with empathy.
You develop fucking empathy.
It's a thing you fucking learn throughout your life.
And children aren't really good at it
because they're fresh to the fucking world.
So when you and I are talking to someone
and they're annoying,
it absolutely crosses my mind.
How good would it be to just fucking slap them right now? Just and they're annoying it absolutely crosses my mind how good would it be
to just fucking slap them
right now
just while they're mid-story
telling me something
I don't care about
just
side of the face
but you don't do it
because you've got empathy
you know that's a bad thing
he was nine years old
didn't have that
aye
sorry
he was made to feel angry
as a nine year old
and lashed out as a nine year old
and he should have got punished from it
but there's no one there
to punish him
well no his mum
his mum picked in fact,
his mum picked him up.
So, fucking,
she clearly saw that.
So maybe this is a family that just can't punch us.
Maybe she, like,
fucking tell the dare.
Aye.
Some girls like it.
I love it when your dad
needs me in the front.
Aye, go on, go on.
Just while she's talking as well,
treat him mean,
keep him keen.
Well, Lena, I'm very sorry that I haven't to you
and I hope one day
your paths cross
and that you do
kick his fucking head in
aye
put him in the can
I had a
I had a faux pas
the other day
it was fucking
Natalie couldn't stop laughing
because I don't get embarrassed that much
but she gets embarrassed for us
alright
so when I tell her something
for an embarrassed day
she just says she's like oh you don't get embarrassed so I I tell her something embarrassing that day she just says
she's like
oh you don't get embarrassed
so I've got to
shoulder out this embarrassment
and just fucking
just cry to self laughing
I was on
Twitch
I was on Twitch
and I was opening
a gift off
Amy Lewis
who actually wrote in
remember the faux pas
about assuming
someone's gender
yeah
it was her
brought us
that board game
that I showed you
the escape room
right
but when I opened
the box
right
so I opened
the Amazon
like the
not the Amazon box
but the cardboard box
that it was posted in
and it reveals
the wrapped gift
that she bought us
but on top of that
were two vouchers
that came free
with the game
right
but the voucher
had
it was written
like printed like a check and it had naked wines 75 the game right but the voucher had it was written printed like a check
and it had naked wines
75 pound
written on the fucking
voucher right
Natalie recognised the voucher
straight away
because everything that she orders
comes with it
free
75 pound
like
starter
thing
and I on Twitch
gushed
that she bought a 75 pounds
worth of wine
and I'm like Amy you're one of the most generous people I've ever met gushed that she'd bought a 75 pounds worth of wine.
And I'm like, Amy,
you're one of the most generous people I've ever met.
I can't remember exactly what I did know.
And she's fucking sat there watching me like,
oh God, God, I didn't get enough.
Have I rocked it?
No, I'm not.
Is it game?
No, I'm not.
Oh, it's so hard.
I just gave this man I've never met before this.
He says he likes his games.
Him and Daniel talk about it on the podcast thought it'd be a nice gift
for the pair of them
and she's bought something
for that we could stream
we could perhaps stream it
she put that in
like she's bought something
for the project
and I'm there like
she's fucking bought us
a crate of wine
in Saginaw
and I've fucking finished
the stream
you're a child that plays
with the box on Christmas day
that's what you fucking are
I'm a cat
you're putting on
a kick at
and a dance dance dance
and a dance dance dance
I am the kid
that plays with the box
and I showed Natalie
I was like
you've seen this
because I was like
that's one of the things
I said on the stream
and I was like
Natalie I'll be chuffed with that
and I was like
can you believe the kindness
yeah
you've seen this
and Natalie was like
that's just a voucher
I was like
aye a voucher
from
you know
the way she was
wait
the second part of this
is you chose to read
the other
75 words
in the bit of paper
as opposed to the first three
no
she was basically
telling me
that it wasn't the gift
Natalie was telling me
I wasn't hearing it
right
I was just like
looking at what else
was in my hand
Natalie's just become
white noise in the background Natalie's just become white noise
in the background
and she's explaining
brown noise
brown noise
it's her nickname
brown noise
and I found
a 26 pound
beer voucher
in there
and I was like
Amy what the hell
OMG
I didn't even read
out the beer voucher
and she was like
Kai
I literally
just bought the game list.
I just full-poured my tits off
for a good half hour.
So that would be embarrassing
if I was capable of such things.
Just also,
there's a real sense of,
look at them,
just bestowing me with all this alcohol
that I clearly deserve.
just bestowing me with all this alcohol
that I clearly deserve
do you know
Michael Fabry
uh huh
I remember fucking
ages ago
and I was on radio
with him
like I'm saying
like 2011
2012 right
I was on radio
with him with
Rod Gilbert
Rod Gilbert
and Barry Castanola
who
Baza
Castanaza
never heard of him
I want Barry oh I'm Barry right not skinny Barry little bat and Barry Castanola. Who? Baza? Castanaza? Never heard of him. Our Barry.
Oh, our Barry, right.
Not Skinny Barry.
Skinny Barry or our Barry.
Sorry, just to give some context for this.
Me and Kai's, one of our favourite passive-aggressive games is when describing your friend is to
describe them in a really bad way.
So you go, do you mean friendly Darren or our Darren?
So you just say
something really
positive about
our Darren.
Oh,
beautiful Amy
or our Amy.
It's a really
shit thing to do
in front of your
friends and it
brings me
endless joy.
Natalie's,
did I tell you that?
Natalie's mum
has got a friend
called Emma
and a friend
called Big Emma
and you're like,
whoa,
why did you go
Emma and Little Emma? Why isn't Big Emma just you're like whoa why did you go Emma and Little Emma
why isn't Big Emma just Emma
well we've got Big Ali and Little Ali
but that's
Big and Little
Big Emma and Emma
suggest the existence of a little Emma
what happened to her
how did Big Emma get so big
and where is Little Emma
and why is normal Emma being so quiet about this all?
Maybe all Emmas are like raindrops
and just whenever they're too close together,
they bloop together.
You've been playing too much Grounded.
Ah, fuck.
So, on the radio,
they were reading bits of the news.
I want you to discuss it.
One of the bits of the news was want you to just discuss it and one of the bits
of the news
was a guy who got caught
stealing eggs
he stole like
fucking like
a ridiculous amount
like 10,000 eggs
or something
from this factory
that he worked at
battery
and then
and then
Michael Fabry
just went
I guess he got caught
egg handed
right
and there was just
like a beat as well
just registered
as a joke
and then moved on from it right and then as soon as a beat as well just just as a joke and then moved on
from it right
and then as soon as
they cut the
cut the radio
Fabio was just saying
oh fucking
egg-handed man
he knew
egg-handed
he knew
immediately man
he was like
what the
fuck
and Wilde just played
a fucking egg-handed
but
little does he know
Tom Houghton's at home
going wonderful absolute egg-handed you mate. But little does he know, Tom Houghton's at home going, wonderful!
Absolute egg-handed.
You'll love to see it.
Loved it, loved it.
Tom Houghton loves a pun.
So what I did, right,
is I fucking,
while the radio show continued,
I went on,
I went on,
on me WhatsApp groups, right,
like the fucking,
like the old football team I was in
with fucking 20 lads in, right,
and I was like,
lads, don't ask any questions, just fucking tag in at Michael Fabry on Twitter, was in with fucking 20 lads in right and I was like lads didn't ask any questions
just fucking tag in
at Michael Fabry on Twitter
tag in at fucking BBC Wales
or whatever radio station
it was right
and just say
what the fuck egg handed
or what the fuck is it egg handed
and just like
look spiteful
at egg handed
I'll explain later
and fucking
me and Fabry
went to the cinema
after this
and the cunt
couldn't stay off his phone
at all through the cinema because my and the cunt couldn't stay off his phone at all through the cinema
because
my mate
the cunt
the cunt
fucking Bob
had a bloody joke
and fucking
people would be driving along
and just went
egghead
they carried on driving
he thought
20 plus people
were messaging him
with the egghead
and it took
that's a cunt
trick
but I love it
he ate
he ate
he ate he ate
he ate
himself
up
my boot
at my
head
he ate
himself
up my
boot
at my
fucking
toe
he got
the point
I think
that was
with Keith
Thorne
and I was
going to
Keith
I was
going
I don't
even think
I can
tell him
now
it's too
far
gone
like I've
done too
much damage
with the
joke
next time
I see
Michael
Fabry
I'm going
to ask
him if that's ever
come up in therapy
do you know what
like last time
I saw him in fact
he brought that up
and it's been a while
you brought him back up
and he was just like
oh
oh it was fucking good
but that was
that was a faux pas
that I did with
Twitch
that's not a faux pas
that's more shithouse
oh sorry
the other one was faux pas the one I did with Twitch but like that's not a faux pas that's more shithouse oh sorry the other one was faux pas
the one I did with Twitch
like here we fucking
love you mate
like fucking class
thanks for the game
I didn't expect more
I know
why you can say that
I didn't expect more
but you know what
would be worse
if somebody had
got us
a fucking gift filter
and I just pied it
on the off chance
it was a leaflet
you know what I mean
but why do you think those are
the only two options as opposed to a real
option of read the rest of the thing?
Like, it's not!
It's not like it says 75
quid free booze and then there's no
explanation underneath. If you read
the T's and C's on the fucking...
It's all there! You didn't read the small
print when you saw the new voucher!
It's not smaller than the 75 number.
When I got John Lewis photos from your wedding and all that,
I didn't fucking get them and not say thanks
until I checked all the T's and C's.
Two seconds.
I'm not going to show any gratitude just now.
I'm just going to double check.
It's like getting a card with a tenner in,
holding it up to the light.
I don't know, but it wasn't...
Holding a tenner up to the sun
in your fucking ungrateful
cut
just folding it up
and putting it in your
like an old gold coin
get the victoria cross
off the fucking queen
or whatever
you just bite it
in front of her
well they were made of tin
so it would bend
alright Mort Martin Sloss
was that you overcoming your dad there?
I'm just saying
I think you're fine it's Frankenstein
Frankenstein's the name of the monster
no no that's from
we watched 1917 the other day
and they were talking about the
metal and
very good film
it's one of those it's one of those movies
that's like
like
Karen doesn't like
watching movies
that are
that she knows
that are going to make her
sad
which is fair enough
in the same way that
I don't like watching movies
that are going to make me scared
she doesn't like movies
that are going to make her sad
but my
argument
or my position on it is
like
look
there's
they went through it the least you can do in the company around culture is just watch a it is like they went through it
the least you can do in the company of our culture is just
watch a depiction of what they went through
man it's meant to be fucking harrowing
like that's what war, war is shit
war is awful, war is the worst thing that we do
as a fucking species right
and we have to acknowledge that lest we
do it again
don't get me wrong, I'm very aware that there's still
plenty of fucking wars going on
and they're all lies.
It's happening now.
And to be fair,
none of,
well maybe that's
a fucking fair point,
like we watch all these,
we watch all these
1917 and fucking,
you know,
the Pacific
and Band of Brothers
and you go,
fuck me,
I'm glad that doesn't
happen anymore.
And then,
meanwhile in Syria,
turn the news off,
turn the,
ignore that.
No, no, no.
In Yemen, no no in Yemen no
no no
la la la la la la
but the other one is
oh man
the fucking opening scene
of saving
Private Ryan
is one of those
and even then
that doesn't capture
the fucking
horrors of what it is
I mean I know
I've spoken about this
on the podcast already
but I really do
thoroughly recommend
Helmets from a Pillow by Robert Leckie
and The Old Guard by E.B. Sledge,
two Americans who,
the TV show Pacific is based on their stories,
but reading it from,
man, they're just,
they were 17 18 year
old boys that signed up to to war and it wasn't conscription they signed up because that's what
they you know they're educated south and just this idea of war and then they go out there just to
hear it from instead of watching in the movies or when it's all hollywood up listening and reading
these people you have to sort of read it twice and go, this is an actual account.
Like, this isn't just like,
I'm reading fucking Lord of the Rings
and he goes,
and then the blade went through his belly
and I fucking killed him.
Like, every time he's like,
and I shot that person,
you go, oh, fuck.
That guy died beside you.
He's recollecting it.
He's not fabricating it.
But Robert Leckie's a phenomenal writer,
God rest his soul.
And E.B. Sledge,
who's also,
no, I mean,
most of them have passed away
because it's fucking 2021
at this point,
but he's so calm,
not calm about it,
but it's really,
it's more traumatising than that.
He just says it with such,
as if it's just so fucking calm.
With equanimity.
He just says it with like,
just matter of fact.
Yeah,
rolls over,
like this is just what it was
and this is,
and he notices things
about the war and he really
really gets into you know these moments
of where humanity is ripped from these people
when you send young boys to war
you rip humanity out of their chest
and you force them to become something else
and the struggle of
fighting that and the consequences of
fighting that making you it's a really
really fascinating and hard fucking read
but one of those
hard fucking reads
that
you should
you should
I know it's not nice
to consume
negative stuff
because our news
is so negative
but I don't
I don't think you should
shouldn't consume
negative things
offset it you know
watch Soul
and then read a bit of
alright
just like
just a little palate cleanser
I have to put inside
watch one episode
of the Pacific
I remember when I watched
Psycho
when my mum and dad
asked if I could watch
Dumbo before I went to bed
genuine true story
I watched Psycho
as a child
with my parents
wait Psycho
or American Psycho
I talked about this
the other day
on Twitch I think
just Psycho
Bram Stoker
Alfred Hitchcock
psycho
I've seen that
my mum and dad
fucking paused it
fucking sent me and
Gav out the room
for the nude scene
quick come back here
she's been mounded
her back's in her way
but fucking hell
she's got a bunch
you can't see her fanny
but she's got a bunch
of new holes
that'll let you see we checked it we watched the scene and it turns out you can't see her fanny but she's got a bunch of new holes that will let you see
we checked it
we watched the scene
and it turns out
you couldn't see her nipples
so come back in
we're going to watch it again
she's bleeding to death
in the bath
don't worry about it
there's poked holes
in that lady
not the good kind
speaking of books
I know people like
recommendations
and also January
is a good time
for other people
doing so
but January
if you're like
what can I do
to take my mind off
things
I'm reading a book
at the moment
I'm reading several books
at the moment
because I've got
attention deficit
sorry
I don't really
but in the same way
that Elliot's got dyslexia
I've got ADD
I've got multiple books
on the go
at the same time
the same as I'm watching
a few different series
like watching
Schitt's Creek
Misfits and Peep Show
and depending on how I feel
and I'll watch
that specific one
I'm not going to be like
oh my god
I'm not going to be able
to watch Peep Show
because I think the kid
from Misfits
is going to be in it
I can put down one book
and pick up another
and I need to be
solely focused
on one story
I also think
it's one for your different
you're going to be in different types of moods.
And a lot of the time when you sit and you go,
especially if you're reading like a factual book, right,
and you're not in the mood.
Aye.
You think, I'm not in the mood for reading.
No, you are.
Just not that at the moment.
I promise you, if you read a fantasy novel or a fiction one
or something that you're into,
one I'm reading at the moment is called The Lies of Locke Lamora.
And shout out to, I'm pretty sure it was either Sid or Roies of Locke Lamora and shout out to
I'm pretty sure
it was either Sid or Rooney
that recommended it
to Gareth
who then recommended it
to me
what a fucking
I'm only halfway
through the first one
but in the same way
that fucking missed Bourne
the reason I really enjoyed it
was because
that's Brandon Sanderson
who finished
the Wheels of Time book
right
I really liked
the difference
of the fantasy world
that he created
it was a real
I love Wheel of Time I love Lord of the Rings I love world that he created. It was a real, you know,
I love Wheel of Time,
I love Lord of the Rings,
I love all that stuff but this was a different approach to it
and this Lies of Log,
The War of Man,
it's so fucking different.
The writing's amazing,
it's funny as fuck.
Like,
I kept asking,
is that a comedy book?
And I was like,
nope.
No,
it's just well written.
Just well written.
You get into that camaraderie.
When you're totally into
a character, things, their personality can make you laugh because they're so well written. You get into that camaraderie. When you're totally into a character,
things in their personality can make you laugh.
Because they're so well written as characters
that they can just do something idiosyncratic
and it tickles you.
Which is why Schitt's Creek is such a brilliant TV show.
I'm really glad that you gave it a second chance.
I really love it.
The first episode I watched it,
I just watched one episode of it a while back.
And then everyone started talking about it way later and I was like, I'm missing something. That one episode I watched it and I just I just watched one episode of it a while back aye and then everyone started talking about it
way later
and I was like
am I missing something
that one episode I watched
just seemed
like none of them
were acting
like it was
I don't know
like I just
cemented the pilot
it's like
oh that's what it is
like it felt like
I honestly felt like
it was like watching
what do you call it
two broke girls or something
aye aye
like two girls on a pizza store
whatever the fuck it is
even that was alright
was it
I didn't watch it I thought I thought yeah but that's saying that I was young when I store whatever the fuck it is even that was that right was it I didn't watch it
but I was saying that
I was young when I watched that
but that was
that Chuck Lorre type
you said
trust is
buy into the characters
trust is
buy into the characters
and fucking
you'll love it
I did
that's the secret
to most American sitcoms
right
it's one thing
I'll say that
not the Brits have over it but it's the difference between our two forms American sitcoms go is and it's one thing I'll say that not the Brits have over it
but it's the difference
between our two forms
American sitcoms
go for 20 episodes a season
British sitcoms
go between
fucking 6 and 8
so British sitcoms
are like
we have to fucking
be funny
in those 6
goddamn fucking episodes
otherwise we're not
going to get a fucking
second season
whereas in America
they go
it's the characters
you've got
yeah you've got time to build you've got time to build.
You've got time to build.
You've got 20 episodes in that first season, right?
It needs to be funny as well,
but it's about building the fucking characters.
And by season two or three in most American sitcoms,
they're way better than the first season.
That's why Parks and Rec, season one, not great.
Parks and Rec, season two, fine.
3, 4, 5, 5 oh thank god I watched
season 1 and 2 so that I can enjoy
these things.
It's
a level of trust that they have
but it's the character driven
fucking comedy and also the documentary
on it, Schitt's Creek is
great. Would it have been the whole family?
Would it have been the brother, sister and dad?
Aye. and our fucking
last two episodes
of the last season
I think I just cried
from the start
it's just such a
sweet show man
I'm just up to season three now
it's
it's
it's so sweet
it's
man if anyone's
if anyone's struggling
with mental health problems
Schitt's Creek
is an instant
here you go
here's a nice fucking
just a good chewing gum
but it's chicken soup for chewing gum Chicken soup for the soul
Chicken soup for the soul, aye, but it just gets so
it's just such a
fucking warm show, it's like somebody's
fucking, it's the relationships with each other
are fucking amazing and all
I think I hated the guy
from Scary Movie that was in it with a lucky
hand
Chris Elliot, his character on the pilot, I was like, I'm not from a scary movie that was in it, with a lucky hand. Aye, aye. Chris Elliott.
Aye, his character on the pilot.
I was like,
I'm not feeling the way he's making me feel for one more episode at all.
But then in the end,
you start enjoying that cringe.
Aye.
You start enjoying how fucking awkward he is.
He's in a great show,
which there are only 10 minute fucking episodes.
I'll need to find the first one,
because it's one of the funniest things.
I'm pretty sure it was called Eagle Heart.
If anyone can find these online,
I recommend,
there's just 10 minute episodes
and it's just him being a police officer,
but he's just the worst fuck.
It's like Magnum P.I. or fuck,
but he's a piss tick of that, right?
Where he's just this fucking hard guy.
And the episode one, right,
is he goes,
he gets his mortal fucking enemy. He's in this fucking helicopter he goes he's against his mortal fucking enemy
he's in this fucking
helicopter
and it's rolling
from Schitt's Creek
it's rolling from Schitt's Creek
yeah but actually
he's this cop
with his fucking hand
he's his Russian
arch nemesis
who then kills
his long time partner
and he goes
I'm gonna get
fucking revenge on you
and he shoots him
and he kills the guy
but it turns out
that the guy he killed
didn't die
he's just nicked a part of the brain and he's brain damaged.
So Chris Elliott's character, Eagleheart, is so pissed off that he's not dead
that he spends the entire time getting the guy back to full health.
Like getting him back to full health.
So he can kill him?
So he can kill him.
Because you can't kill a disabled person.
So he gets him back to full function.
It's such a fun
fucking
I'll need to
watch more
it's a horrible
concept
brutal
absolutely
brutal
sorry did I
tell you

A person who reads books lives a thousand lives and a person who doesn't lives but one.
I've never lived the life of a gay teenager before.
No?
Nah, I'm reading this book and it's like they have stirrings.
Stirring of the loins.
That's what those were that I bottled into the press.
Got to hope Renata doesn't read this. That's what those were that I bottled and suppressed.
Got to hope Renata doesn't read this.
I would say it's a love story between Achilles and his best mate.
Oh, yeah, yeah, he was the one that got murdered. Again, a name that I've read, Patroclus.
Patroclus.

The doctor will sometimes ask for the next patient
and he'll continue to sit there
and try and have a crack with him and the next guy.
No matter how far down the line she is.
Your dad thinks white people are just inside out black people.
Your dad put his hand up his own arse To puppeteer himself
But all the kids at the party said they could see his lips moving
You'd blame that they meant to be moving

Can't blink.
But he can see everything.
He opens the dishwasher and it's game over.
Frosted glass for dad time.
Your dad hunts spiders with a tiny bow made of
paperclip string and toothpicks and every
time he kills one he says
looks like meat's back on the menu boys.
