All right, ladies and gentlemen,
it is episode 10 of Slosser and Humphreys on the Road,
and we've got loads of stuff for you.
We'll talk about how much we miss comedy,
we'll break into tears, we'll start cuddling,
we'll have a bit of a kiss.
I think we stopped the podcast for that bit, though.
Thank God.
So, yeah, just a heads up
of what happened behind the scenes, really.
But on the podcast, you get to talk about...
I think I apologised for something.
I can't remember what. I've got a short memory.
But you're about to hear it. I apologiseised for something I can't remember what I've got a short memory but you're about to hear it I apologised for something
I mustn't have meant it

anything to add Daniel?
no Straight thuggin', livin' the dream. And that's our intro. Fuckin' muggles. Ticklin' the clit inside your head that makes you laugh.
Woohoo!
Ha ha ha!
They said it can't be done.
Are we in the same seats?
That's hack.
Aw, muggles.
Accidental rim job in the park.
Kiss, kiss, kiss.
Or might just be cynical.
Just muggled it up on fuckin' Mugglepedia.
Where have you been since 9-11?
I'm Kai Humphries.
And?
You're also? Muggins.
And
you're also... Co-host of the podcast
that is... No, you're
sorry. I'm sorry?
Yeah. I assume this is
an apology episode.
I've apologised already?
I think it needs to be.
It's not a one-off apology.
Because it's not like it happened one time.
This isn't, oh, I bumped into you.
Sorry, let's all move on.
You've been wronging me for a long time
and you've become self-aware of it.
Right?
Finally, listeners scream from their cars,
from their stacking shelves
Finally
He's got a little bit of self-awareness
They say to themselves
Explain yourself
This is why people don't apologise anymore
You know that Daniel?
No this is why people don't apologise to me
I'm very aware of why people don't apologise to me
This is why
Donald Trump
Donald Trump gets away with everything
Because he never apologises for it.
Justin Trudeau elbows one lady in the boob
and because he says he's sorry, he's a monster.
Well, he also blacked up when he was like 17.
And then he said sorry.
If he hadn't said sorry...
It would have been fine.
It would have been fine if he'd just doubled down.
It's because he was sorry about blackface.
That's the bad thing.
That is where we're at with society now, because if you apologise
people like Daniel Sloss see
weakness as blood in the water like a
shark. Well, you know what
you bring that up, I actually do agree
with the concept of, well not apologising for
comedy though, that's a different thing
You know what, I'll get round to a
second apology in a second
but you should
use apologies
the same as kisses on text
sparingly in case you need them
Is your phone on?
No that was an iPhone ring
It was battery turning back on
Blame blame blame
it's never you, you're never at fault
Are you saying that I didn't take personal responsibility
for that
immediately
they came from behind you
but your power
your power of
I'm never at fault
is so strong
that an iPhone noise
from behind you
must have come from
my Samsung
sitting over there
in front of you
I'm not a fan of this
it's how nice of you
to come down from the
fucking heavens
to co-host this podcast
mate
can I just say
thank you
on behalf of everyone
what a pleasure
you're welcome
two
two
I don't know why
this attack on character
has been applied
to such a very
specific situation
like as if like
oh this is the way you act
no no no
the specific situation is
I put you on the phone
to our good friend,
Jimmy McGee, because he wanted to congratulate you.
Oh, he did?
Because he's not on Facebook or social media,
and he heard through the old-school method of the grapevine.
Ah, he did.
He literally threw the grapevine.
He literally threw the grapevine.
Well, not literally threw the grapevine.
No, no, no.
He was using a vineyard.
And the gossip made its way there.
Everyone was talking over a little Pinot Noir.
Mind that time we went to a wineyard with vineyards?
Yeah.
Either way.
Wineyard does make it sound a bit...
I think vineyard is posh for wineyard.
Aye.
Aye.
It's not a specific language.
It was Adelaide we went to that vineyard.
We went to Molly Dukas and we had velvet glove.
Velvet glove and it was in that fucking bottle that I couldn't hold.
It was in a velvet bag
that you were scared of.
I wasn't scared of it,
couldn't touch it.
You were terrified.
I've explained.
Honestly.
That was also the day that...
You're like,
oh, can you get me some velvet
in the bathroom?
We got so drunk
with the Tobins and Jimmy
and then we went with
Biebs and Mal
and we went to a steak restaurant
and we were fucking mullered
right
we were
obnoxiously drunk
and high as well
that was the
that was 2014
the dawn of the vape pen
oh the Pax vape pen
yes it was
it had like
it had like a kiln
on the back
like you put weed in it
it wasn't like
you had the capsules
yeah it was like
a little sauna
and you had to grind up
it was actual
fucking ground up
we thought
god I do remember that.
Yes, we were stoned.
We were drunk.
I was at least obnoxiously drunk
because at the end of it,
because the Topans had taken such good care of us
over this thing.
Like, you know, they took us,
they had us over there.
They took us to the yards.
So we're there for the best of the Edinburgh Fest.
Aye, aye.
And they picked three acts,
which was me, you and Jimmy McGee.
And we do a showcase show
which was 20 minutes each
where we got a dinner every day
we got a shared apartment
they bought us
took us on activities
we got three free drinks
at each fucking venue
they drove us to the parties
after it
it was just that
it was genuinely one of the best
fucking months of my entire life
we kept catchphrasing
good fellas
we had it all
it was perfect
because we knew in the moment
that like
we had it all
aye
no matter where our life goes from now we will look moment that like we had it all aye like no matter where
our life goes from now
we will look back
we didn't have it all
because like
all that was happening
but it was
in Adelaide
like let's not
like it wasn't
bought
we had it almost
yeah
we had it all
in Adelaide
like it was
it would have been
the coolest story
in the world
had it happened
anywhere fucking else in Melbourne oh was it would have been the coolest story in the world had it happened anywhere fucking else
in Melbourne
oh man
we would have been
balling
but of course
I did it in Melbourne
you got subbed out
for Carl Donnelly
I did I
I tapped out
because I didn't like
being away from home
for that long
god back then
not at all
what a fucking amateur
so yeah
like they'd taken
such good fucking
care of us
and also I was really really really drunk I hadn't seen babes for fucking days and I was like I'll pay What a fucking amateur. So yeah, like they'd taken such good fucking care of us.
And also I was really,
really,
really drunk.
I hadn't seen babes for fucking ages.
And I was like,
I'll,
I'll pay.
I'll pay for the dinner.
And Mary Tobin was like,
no,
don't do that.
Like I'm a business.
Like I,
like this is literally a business expense.
And this is my gift to you.
And this is my gift to you.
You've come over,
you've entertained us.
And I'm,
and I'm like,
I'm 22 years old. I'll fucking tell you another thing.
And came to, and I was like I'm 22 years old I'll fucking tell you another thing and came to and I was like
I've not actually
got ahead
and made it to open
step down eventually
and fuck
I remember at the time
wishing she'd just
been a little bit firmer
because it was like
a grand
and that was money
that 22 year old me
didn't have
pre Netflix
that was all
like I had
don't get me wrong
I had money but I
bit off way more
I thought you were just doing the Jerry Seinfeld eyes thing
when you got the bill
I didn't think that was it
it was some shit
if you want to know that reference
watch Jerry Seinfeld's
Communities and Cars Getting Coffee and it's
with
I think it's the Norm Macdonald
episodes
and it's just
I've done it a million times
since I
it's one of my favourite things
to just get videos
of different people doing it
like on my phone
I've got just like
everyone
Barry
that
everyone
just you know
the works
my wife
me
three over there
in that class
good little
in joke
so
to track it
back
I put you
on the phone
to Jimmy
my phone
cut out
so I plugged
my phone in
on chargers
we're walking
in here
so when you
blamed me
for my phone
I wasn't
drunk on
power blaming
you
I was like
no no my
phone's run
out of battery
you were there
but it was my
phone
but then you somehow spin docked like you are no no my phone's run out of battery you were there but it was my phone it was your phone
but then
you somehow
spin docked
and I let you off
here he comes
I imagine
I genuinely think
don't get me wrong
I love this podcast
and I think people
will fucking listen to it
but I think
this podcast
must be so cathartic
for Matthew Canning
just
it must be so
nice
because for him he's never stood up to you in his life.
Like, he's just, over the years...
Okay, I'm listening so far.
Okay, so far, he's making a lot of sense.
Over the years, just like, he just takes it and takes it and takes it.
And then finally...
Like a little bitch.
Like a little bitch, yeah, of course.
I just need to clear of course the little bitch thing
so this is cathartic
for him this
this is cathartic
yeah
he's listening
it's just like
oh therapy
he's in a bath
right
and he's got
the podcast
in his ears
but he's got
Toto and the Alexa
right
Rays of Africa
and he's got
like a Chardonnay
because it's a
fucking weak woman's wine and he's just got a Chardonnay because it's a fucking weak
woman's wine
and he's just
got tears streaming
down his face
because finally
a man has
standing up to you
and holding you
to task
accountable for
your words
and your actions
he's trying to
stand up
you're like a
you're like a
little sparrow hawk
like Scrappy Doo
it's something you Scooby-Doo
You're like, and we're going to get cancelled for this
Someone in the little person community
Swinging at me
And I've got my hand on my head
Aye
Oh my god, we are going to get brought down
Cancelled
So I apologise to you
via the media.
Not of D.O.
I didn't just text you.
Aye.
I did it like a man
because you know men are big on the Insta scene.
Yes.
Proper blokes.
Yeah, proper blokes.
Use fleets.
Aye, aye.
Proper blokes go on social media
to express their emotions.
You're right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So like a man.
Uh-huh.
A Yorkie-eating man.
Did you say a Yorkie or a Yokey?
Yorkie.
Yorkie.
I mean, yes, yes.
I said Yokey, but that was my accent.
It's just because Yokey, I was like,
I guess eating egg yolks is manly,
because I guess they did it.
Not the protein bit, the bit with Cliff.
I'm sure that weird flex. Yeah, I think they did it not the protein bit the bit with Clifton I think Rocky
did that didn't he
or did he just
have them all
did he not take
them out
yeah I apologise
because
Natalie
was getting
behind on the
podcast because
she doesn't have
a commute anymore
aye
she doesn't get
to go to work
she doesn't
she works from home she doesn't have to commute there what she would do in't get to go to work. She doesn't. She works from home.
She doesn't have to commute there.
What she would do in London is she would go for a little walk around Victoria Park to
begin her day and then come back.
But we've moved to Scotland and it's just a lot more hostile terrain out there.
So she hasn't been doing her podcasting.
So she's been catching up since we started in the new year of the podcast.
And she's had it on sometimes in the kitchen when she's cutting vegetables and that.
Whatever she's doing in the head.
Women's stuff.
Yeah, when she's in the kitchen cutting shapes, you know.
Cutting a rug.
Cutting a rug.
Cutting me out of my life.
Just, you know.
Cutting a red in her birthday suit.
Yeah, she keeps shutting me up so she can listen to me.
Listen to a podcast
but I'm here also
but baby this is live
and she's like aye but this is Danny
do you ever
I'm sorry do you think it's
she's not shutting you up to listen to you
she's shutting you up to listen to me
she's shutting me up to listen to you getting your jokes
rolled over
over and over
and over
to the point that
I don't even know if I've done it on this podcast yet
because I can't be
that unaware of it and be
aware of it so how
do I even remedy it
how many times an episode
do you think
you're all over
I've been in the kitchen
ten minutes
I heard five
because to be fair
ish
I'm so
used to
it
that I don't
register it anymore
like when you
like when you did
the post of like
I'm very sorry
you do this
it was like apologising
for tripping me up when I was seven years old.
I'm like, hey, we were kids.
It's all behind us now.
Is it like, you know, if you're doing a TV gig,
it was Mike Wilmot told us this, right?
I'd done the Comedy Store show, the last TV I'd done back in 2011.
Mike Wilutt was on
and he was saying
if they don't laugh
act like they are laughing
because they're going to
end a bit for the telly
right
so if they didn't laugh
for a joke
don't then instantly
start the next one
just smile as if
you're receiving laughter
they'll put the laughter in
aye
they need to have a podcast
see how you're like
the audience will get it
Kai's rolling over them
but the people that count.
No, I genuinely think
it is. In the same way that you know
our role about when we complain about
each other, it's all in any medium,
right? It's with the knowledge
that we know ourself is flawed, right?
Go, I'm going to say this annoying thing about you,
knowing full well that there's a thousand annoying things
about me that you just put up with.
That was what the passive-aggressive whiteboard that we had in gars cube was about
right it's being like look i've got flaws and you've got flaws but at this moment in time i'm
pointing one of yours out the reason i've never pointed out that much is because i fucking roll
over other people all the time so i maybe i think in my head i'm just like the chain of reaction
chain reaction of like uh mid nitpicking at each other
if you pick one thing
you go
alright okay
the person who knows you
the most intimately
you want to start a fight with him
not even that
that's right Cara
the most intimately
I also
definitely
like I
I've probably
rolled over a bunch
of your jokes
in this as well
and also
I definitely rolled over
other people
so I'm not
the difference between me
and you though though, is like
intent.
Oh, what? Because when you're doing it,
you're just pushing
my joke out of the way so you can get
to yours first.
Oh, is that it?
Oh, so you're not that self-aware then?
No. I've got one
queued up and I'm like, you know what, let him get
his in first, because then mine will be like
the topper
whatever it is
that he's got to say
I can hear him
stopping talking
the way your voice
just inflicts
I know you've finished
the sentence
and then I dive in
so I listen to the tone
and that always tells me
that's very important
because it's not what I said
it was the way I said it
apology accepted well And Natalie always tells me that's very important. Because it's not what I said, it was the way I said it.
Apology accepted.
Well, you're welcome.
I don't know how to say it, lad.
You know what I mean?
It's like when someone wishes you a happy birthday and you say it back.
You too.
Happy birthday to you too. Have a good one.
Can you remember? I remembered this the other day.
Because I remembered it yesterday other day because I remembered
it yesterday
because it's
my goddaughter's
15th birthday
she's the youngest
of the three
goddaughters
that I've got
because I've got
four goddaughters
I didn't count
one of them
I'm joking
I've got one
with one friend
and three
goddaughters
with another friend
right
and the youngest
of those three
is called Rihanna
and I'm going to say
when did I
after who
before
she's 15
yeah but Rihanna's 30
so she can't
I didn't have her
she didn't name her
after a 15 year old
like
but I don't know
maybe
maybe she did
maybe
if
if
if
she's named after
Rihanna the artist
spelled it wrong
someone did oh so it's from oh okay so's named after Rihanna the artist. Spelled it wrong.
Someone did.
Oh, so it's from... Oh, okay.
So it's from Rihanna.
Got you.
So Welsh.
So Rihanna, when did I live with you and Jean?
Oh, you'd have to ask someone with a memory.
2013, 2014 era.
Aye.
Which is seven years ago from Rihanna's 7th birthday
right
I started
because I sent her
a video
right
every birthday
I'd send me
God kill a video
I'm never there
right
so I always
send them a video
right
and the video
that I was
sending
for Rihanna
was
you know
the Gwen Stefani
this beat
is bananas
B-A-N-A-S so I was like this birthday is Rihanna's B-A-N-A-S
so
I was like
this birthday's
Rihanna's
R-H-I-A
I spelt that name
right
A-N-N-A
you can do it in the moment
but not now
it took us a lot of takes
right
so I'm like
this birthday's
Rihanna's
Jean comes upstairs
with a bowl of cereal
and I'm there
selfie cam
this birthday's Rihanna's B-A-N- there selfie cam and it's birthday
Rihanna's beer
and she's just like
what the fuck
are you doing
she didn't know
how to go and
his name's Rihanna
right
and I didn't know
she didn't know
I had a goddaughter
called Rihanna
and I just went
it's Rihanna's birthday
obviously
and she
obviously
thought I meant
the pop star
Rihanna so I the pop star Rihanna
so I tweeted it to Rihanna
and just
styled it out
like that's what I was doing
I clicked on
and then Gene thought
I was doing that
and then continued
doing that
doing what Gene thought
I was doing
I committed to the bit
I sent a DM
not a DM
I added Rihanna
in on Twitter
seven years ago
did she like it
with a fake nah nobody did nobody did Gene did DM, not a DM, I had Rihanna in on Twitter seven years ago Did she like it?
Nah, nobody did Nobody did, Jean did
She laughed even more when she found out that
that's not what I was doing and that's what she thought
I was going to ask, because if this was the way
that, if Jean was listening to this
on the way to the, this is how she found out
I'd love to be for that moment
just in the train where she just went
It all played out over the course of a few minutes
where I sent it and then told her what was going on
and I was laughed
because for a second she actually thought I was
wishing Rihanna a happy birthday
would you
would I
would you actually
bang Rihanna
aye
rhetorical questions no no I think my actual question would you actually would you bang Rihanna aye aye I don't think that's
what I was actually
going for
rhetorical questions
no no
I think my actual
question was
do you reckon
she'd be fucking
do you reckon Rihanna
would be one of the ones
that would be cool
to fucking hang out with
and I'm basing my answer
on one image of her
I have
right
and it's her at the
music festival
and she's on like
one of her security guys
she's on his shoulders
and he's fucking
massive right
because he's Rihanna's
security guard
so he's like
seven foot two
right
and she's just
rolling a blunt
on his head
oh nice
aye
and I was just like
you look like someone
that I'd love to hang out with
not necessarily Bang
if she wanted to
I'd have to ask Cara
but
you know but you know
you know what
like
it's not even
like
I don't know
just because I'm
getting a bit older
and my libido's
turned to it a bit
right
but
I
I wouldn't be that
lost
I'm happily married
like genuinely
like I didn't like it used to be that stsed. I'm happily married. Like, genuinely.
Like, I don't... It used to be that stardom had this such a...
What's the opposite of stigma?
I don't feel like I'm using stigma right.
Ligma.
Ligma.
Ligma balls.
It had an absolute ligma about it, you know what I mean?
It would be like there would be no way on God's earth
that I would not fuck Rihanna, given half a chance,
married or not married.
But no, I'd be like,
oh, is that kind of the implications of this?
I've got quite a content life right now.
Is this going to rock the apple cart?
Because, look, if it doesn't rock the apple cart, aye.
Aye, aye, aye.
That, like, just gives the nod.
And then she'll nod and I'll go, like, seriously, though. Oh, I don't, aye. Aye, aye, aye. That, like, gives the nod. And then she'll nod again.
Like, seriously, though.
I don't know.
And then I'm like,
Devon, make us ask three times
and then I didn't pick up some subtext that wasn't there.
Aye.
Devon, be mad because I asked.
I have to ask.
I, um...
I don't know, I just think
it must take loads of effort to...
Not to cheat, I reckon that's easy
like banging someone
but
you know it's the living with it
that's impossible
but also I just couldn't fucking
it must be so much effort to have an affair
it would be fucking exhausting
exhausting?
and what I just
imagine the
I'm saying imagine
mate
by the way
at one point
sorry to interrupt you here
but
because Natalie
obviously listened to this podcast
she was talking to Cara
about this the other day
because they like
listening to this podcast
because apparently
all we do is talk about
how much we love them
and what not
and they think
that's quite nice for them
maybe we should actually
spend the rest of this podcast
talking about how easy
it would be to cheat on them
oh
it would be easy to do but it would be about how easy it would be to cheat on them. It would be easy to dee,
but it would be shite.
Aye. As long as
they understand how easy
it would be for us to cheat. And I know it's easy
for them to cheat, let's be real.
Oh, like if that's a given.
Aye. Like if Cara wanted to.
That wouldn't even be impressive.
Oh, slow clap. Oh, slow clap.
Oh, well done.
But we could hold our own.
It's not a war they'd want to start.
It would just be fucking shite.
It would be shite like...
You know what?
Right, I've got to...
Full disclosure.
Right.
Cheating on Natalie Lowe.
No, no.
I've got to,
full disclosure,
cheating on Natalie loads of times.
People would be
fucking astonished
just thinking of the concept
of that.
Previous relationship,
like,
I had to hide my phone
a couple of times
because I had text conversations
going on with the lasses.
This is like back
when I'm in my early 20s.
Aye.
And with less attractive people,
so it's okay.
And it was fucking
just tiring, man.
It was just, you live in worry,
you're texting on the sly and that,
and it's like, I dipped my feet in that world.
I didn't like who I was.
I didn't like the experience of it.
Finding out how quickly you lie is never a comforting thing.
Finding out you're a good liar is, you just go,
oh no.
It's not like finding out
you're really strong.
It's like finding out,
I don't know.
I don't know.
Who was it that said
if you're honest
you never have to remember anything?
Is that a quote?
I mean,
it's very funny
that you don't remember.
I never have to remember.
No,
you don't have to get
your story straight
on anything. And to live in that thing where you't have to get your story straight on anything
and to live in that thing
where you've got to
have your story
backed up
and you're fucking
building this web of fiction
to prop your life up
about where you've been
or who you've been
talking to
or what you've been doing
like
no not for me that
that was my
I said to Cara
day one of the relationship
is
I'll just
I'll never lie to you
just because
I can't be arsed I'll just be honest never lie to you just because I can't be arsed
I'll just be honest
the whole time
and
and
and she fucking fell for it
what a mother
hook line
and fucking sinker
I might
I gave in to this bit
but the fucking
the things I've managed to get
they're not going to pay a pay-per-year on it
of course not
we'll get this on the pay-per-year
we'll get this on the pay-per-year
and all the stuff about them because they're not going to pay a Patreon of it. Of course not. I think it's not going to end there. We'll get this on the Patreon. We'll get this on the Patreon and all the stuff about them
because they're not going to pay.
Aye.
Stupid fat bitch.
I tell you the other day,
this is,
she'll not appreciate me saying this
on the podcast,
but fuck her,
she's had three podcasts
where I've talked about
how much I like her,
so I can tell this story about her.
You know Cara,
she's lovely,
she's sweet,
and in some things she's really, really smart
and intelligent on.
And then there's, you know, the rest of the world.
And then there's all other subjects.
She's a bit slow on the uptake for some things.
We were watching TV the other day and she's just watching out of the corner of her eye.
And she turns up looking at the screen
and it's a child in rags
with a glass scooping muddy water
out of a puddle.
And it's a charity advert, obviously,
for Starving Kids in Africa.
And she goes,
Oh, is he getting tadpoles
I'm like
no you fucking
northerner
this is
he's a protector man
yes baby
yeah I know
yeah they're having loads of fun out there
yeah she's just
turning it into frog spot
and
millions of them
getting tadpoles
yeah
every day
every day
walking 13 miles for tadpoles just carrying getting tadpoles every day walking 13 miles
for tadpoles
carrying the tadpoles
back in a jar
on our head
just for a
school science project
to be fair
I think I should
apologise that
it probably wasn't
starving kids in Africa
because I think
that's
I mean I'm not saying
Africa's fixed
but I'm pretty sure
they don't like the fact I think that's now a very'm not saying Africa's fixed but I'm pretty sure they don't like the fact
I think that's now
a very outdated thing
to be like
that's the poor country
just assuming that
you go to a third world country
because I don't think
Africa's not a third world country
anymore
it's a continent
well
alright
well that's a good point
but I don't
I can't remember
what fucking book I was reading
but I'm pretty sure
it's out of it
and they're just like
stop
is this
I mean
I could easily be wrong
are you just
hold on
are you
are we finding out now
when Sloss and Humphrey
is on the road
that poverty in Africa
is over
no I'm not saying
no sorry
no no
but it's not
they're not all
like all of Africa
next week world peace
look guys
look I'm going to get
Palestine
and I'm going to get
Israel on the podcast
right and I'm just going to I'm going to make them and I'm going to get Israel on the podcast, right?
And I'm just going to make them play chess together
and we're going to sort this out once and for all.
No.
Obviously, you can't.
Africa is fucking, it is a continent that's fucking massive.
You can't say starving kids in Africa
because there's starving kids in Europe.
There's starving kids in America.
Yeah, they're saying, like, stop calling us
every time there's starving kids, man.
Kids, aye.
Like, it's like, as if there's starving kids in Africa, as if there's starving kids kids aye like it's like as if there's
starving kids in Africa
as if there's not
starving kids
literally everywhere
there's just more flies
buzzing around in Africa
so it makes for a way
more impactful
starving child photo
I also
I think they've
I mean it depends
on what part of Africa
we're talking about
and I've not been to
any of it yet
have you not
no
oh
South Africa
you've got to come
we've got to come aye
we've got to do that
we
try to wean
your fiance
onto wine
aye
because she's a fucking
because she just likes
hooch
aye
I love how much
Natalie just
casts shade on her
every time she offers her a drink
well because
it's said with so much attitude
Cara has a very particular palate
and that is
juice
juice aye
aye
she likes alcoholic drinks
to taste like juice
or vodka
juicy vodka
yeah yeah
or
Natalie even like
she'll offer you a glass of wine
or a whiskey
or a whiskey or something
and then she'll turn to Cara
and went
oh I don't really have any like...
I don't have any boozy like bean ads for chocolate.
I don't have any like that.
I haven't put any Haribo through a soda stream,
so you'll probably just have to drink water.
That's all right.
You won't be putting a sippy cup.
So Cara is...
I'll tell you what,
I'll drink a bottle of vodka
and I can fucking breastfeed
and you can have a white Russian
and have that
You put milk in a white Russian
don't you?
I have found that
my friend passed away
and I was going to have a white Russian
because that's the drink
that she liked
and then I found out what it was
and I just had a whiskey
I was like I love you Liz
and all that but
Have you not had a white Russian?
No
Didn't seem good
they're
they're alright
like it's
do you like Baileys
aye
right imagine a worse version of that
oh
right it's just
that's what it is
I suppose yeah
I know you mentioned Baileys
Baileys is a milky
alcoholic drink
that I do like
it's
you could have one
and then you're like
you know what it's kind of like one and then you're like you know what
it's kind of like
what barely
work on your cereal
hey
I mean that's a question
for when Mark Nelson's
on the podcast
that's something
you ask a man
with depression
get an actual
alcoholic on
for that
gosh man
aye
I'll tell you what
I did one time
I went there
poured myself
some Weetabix right put the Weetabix in the bowl pour you know you pour milk on the Weetabix Hi I'll tell you what I did one time I went to pour myself some
Weetabix
right
put the Weetabix
in the bowl
pour
you know you pour
on the Weetabix
oh yeah
ok fine
sorry
but I do get what you're saying
I didn't pour the Weetabix
out of the packet
I kind of like
just made a mess
with crumbs
all over the desk
where like
desk
at school
plot twist
so at school
got at my desk
got at the teacher got at the teacher's fridge
Aye
Only a tiny bit of milk left
Teacher's fridge?
I mean I was just
Trying to spin off the bit
That I was in the classroom
Does your teacher not have a fridge?
Well you know
In the faculty
We don't call it a faculty
Staff room
Staff room
The Ergo Endeavor went in there
We're a teacher
we were allowed to drink
tea, coffee or hot chocolate
in philosophy occasionally
because Mr Duncan
was one of them
cool teachers
kids don't drink coffee
well fifth and sixth year
you were allowed to
if you brought your own mug
you could
so I made myself
a cup of tea
using the little bit
of milk that was left
it was enough to make
a cup of tea
just not enough to make
a wee tabix
poured it over my wee tabix
bish bash bosh
Bob's your uncle
tea tabix
I was stunned
in the morning
I was delighted
make a big
I'm not saying that
I'm not criticising
that was the
that was the phase actually
when
when I was trying
to teach myself
how to roll
you know how I can't roll
aye
and it was when I lived
in my flat in Ashton
and I
I just kept rolling
myself the worst joints
but like each of them
it smoked
aye
it got down
and it had enough weed in it
to get you really high
but it just
didn't feel like a success
at the end of it
so you're like, I'll roll another one.
Basically, I can fold a cigarette.
Yeah, you can fold a cigarette.
Now, there is such a thing as spliff snobbiness, right?
And I'm fucking looking at you, Brett fucking Vincent here, right?
People who are just like, I won't smoke that.
Like, fuck fuck you it smokes
like I understand
you're very good
at rolling
and Brett Vincent
is a very good roller
like remember that time
he had a fucking
roll off against
Howard Marks
backstage at
Halitude
to who could roll
the fucking best
spliff
he's very good at
but I used to roll
fucking Brett spliffs
and he was like
these are off
you can't fucking
smoke these
like
it does the
fucking job, mate.
But on the other side, your ones were particularly bad.
Yeah, get us out of Rome, then.
That's not why I did it.
I'd love to be able to join the party, but...
In the future, when I...
I mean, put it this way, Scotland's got about,
I'm going to say, 20 years...
Scotland's got 20 years to legalise
marijuana right before
before I just start
planting it anyway right
because I need that you can't wait till the kids
are gone I'll have kids in a moment
but
I'll start fucking growing as much weed as I can then
just to fucking for personal use then
I really want to get into
rolling nice either spliffs or blunts
I just think it is just a class
skill to have
you know what I feel
I'm dead embarrassed that I can't roll a spliff man
it's like not being able to take a throw in
it's like fucking come on
it's like driving an automatic
it's a total bullshit thing
where you're just like oh man
and I have tried
I really fucking have
you've sat with us
it's just
aye
well I think it's because
there's got
if you can't
if you can roll
you've gone through
a part of your life
where you were just
where you were either a stoner
or you were a fucking
a rollie
and you were just so used to
it became
just making prison rollies
prison rollies
I tell you what I did do
for a lot of years I miss prison rollies I miss prison rollies prison rollies I tell you what I did Dave for a lot of years
I miss prison rollies
I miss prison rollies
at music festivals
aye
I haven't had a smoke
in six months
did you miss it
and you know what
it's not
it's not my go to now
you know like
I fucking
I tried some of your
whiskeys the other night
aye
your Thurzo whiskey
aye
the wolf's fun
fuck me
was I mulled
it's good isn't it
trying to play
Call of Duty
halfway through
playing I was like
I've got to put
my contact lenses in
I can't see a fucking thing
here
I put my contact lenses in
it was not my contact lenses
it wasn't my fucking
contact lenses
like
I was on my
earlier student
Tom Horton
a fucking
I like
I think I need to
publicly apologise
to them now
that was fucking
wasted mate
it's 58%
the Wolfsburn Lang Skip Whiskey
it's fucking delightful
to get that drunk
and not think about cigarettes
you know what I mean
to get to that level of sesh
and then not think like
I need to go out to the shop
and get some tabs
or like
for me
it's not even on my mind
when I'm drunk
and that's what
to stop smoking
which I've done in the past
for periods of time
right
I have to stop drinking
because I'll break
when I'm drunk
see I did
I did the opposite
when I quit smoking
and when I quit vaping like when I was off the. When I quit smoking and when I quit vaping,
like when I was off the net,
I mean, I say I quit fucking vaping,
I just smoke weed every second of every day,
but that's more of a lockdown thing than anything else.
When I quit fucking the e-cig and the cigarette at the same time,
the only way I could do it was
I had fucking war come round that night
and we got a bag and we were both drinking
and I had a pack of cigarettes
and my ace had gone to the table
and I was like,
I have to get through,
I have to get through a night
where I am off my tits.
And there's another smoker there.
And it's there
and there's another smoker there
and I've got the temptation,
I've got to be able to resist it
in my worst state.
Resisting it when I'm fucking sober
is a pointless endeavour.
Anyone cannot smoke when they're sober.
That's a fucking piece of it
when you're cunted, that's the challenge
so I just used to put myself in
training, that's a situation
I haven't had yet, the one where
I haven't been around smokers
just because of the way the world is
so that's getting us to this point
I've never been drunk around other
smokers, that's the one where
you bum a cig,
and then you have to buy cigs because you don't want to be a bum.
And then you've got some the next morning,
so you smoke the next morning
because they're there,
and you don't want to leave a pack.
And that's how you get back onto it.
But right now, right now,
like after this fucking podcast,
you tell me we just go out there,
we walk down to the little fucking river there,
or we go on the fucking bridge there,
and I plan you a fucking minty.
Would be nice and that
But it's like
Nah I think I need to go on longer
What we've said
I'm still going to keep the packet with you
Which is we've got one ticket per year
Which is get to March
And none of us have used it
Where you can go and write
We're going to share a deck of cigarettes
Oh yeah yeah yeah I buy a packet and go you've got to share a deck of cigarettes yep oh yeah yeah yeah
I buy a packet
and go you've got to
split these with me
or you buy a packet
and say you've got to
split them
when the packet's done
the packet's done
yeah
and I think it's a
good fucking system
we did use them
both last year
we used my packet
when we did
acid in the garden
we were going to
save years for fucking altitude yeah birthday was it my birthday yeah it was my birthday and that was the last one I had when we did acid in the garden we were going to save
years of fucking altitude
was it my birthday
yeah it was my birthday
and that was the last one I had
aye aye
I also fucking smoked
a bunch with Matthew
no I didn't
ma'am don't listen to this
part of the podcast
are you snitch
no
did you shock your brother
oh fuck him
if you can't tell her
come on
absolute snake you are
I will
I've found myself
being pretty mundane
lately though
like
there's not
there's not much
like
I've moved into my house
I got out of bed
at a reasonable hour
I get up early
I take my work out
and all that
play a bit of Rocket League through the day watch a movie when I'm in the evening but I've up early I take me workouts and all that play a bit of
Rocket League
through the day
watch a movie
with Natalie in the evening
but I find myself
getting so mundane
that I'm like
I fucking have to
just start smoking again
just to have some
character
I'm not going to
start smoking again
obviously
but I'm like
I didn't feel cool
right now
not the whole smoking thing
just the lack of
social life thing
the like you know how bad it is right I watched Thor whole smoking thing just the lack of social life thing they're like
you know how bad it is right
I watched
Thor Ragnarok
the other day
you know when they have
the Hulk festival
aye
I really wanted to have
a Hulk festival
I wanted to get around
with the Hulk float
and the Hulk banner
why
the Bruce banner
that's my
you
fucking
you're such a
sneaky
are you talking about
are you talking about
you're some fucking
nerve as well
thank god this isn't
a video podcast
as well
you fucking saved
that facial reaction
for the one we're
just doing fucking
verbally aye
are you trying to
say that was your joke
oh
oh that's a very
specific conversation
it was very specific
it was like
your fucking house
the other day
when you were telling
this story
and you went
oh they had the
Hulk banners
and I went
I think you probably
called them
Bruce banners
and you went
ha ha ha ha
you fucking
honestly
what a weird claim
odd claim
so you've gone
from fucking
rolling over jokes
to just plain up
fucking nicking them
have you
you fucking think
that's better than you
as if Natalie
wasn't there as well
she's going to be
listening to this
fucking episode
she's going to listen
to you make that joke
and she's going to go
shh you stole another one
you rat bastard
it's my one vice
stealing your jokes
and rolling over them
what my one vice
both of those things
are my one vice
the Olsen twins
are my one vice
the Olsen twins are my one vice the Olsen twins
Mary Portnashley
who would have
thought that their
younger sister would
get way more famous
than them
who's that
what
is that
Brie Olsen
no
Brie Larson
no
no Mary Kate and Ashley no no not Marvel No, Brie Larson, no. No.
Mary-Kate and Ashley. No, no, I'm not Marvel.
I'm talking about Brie Olsen.
No, but you're also kind of close.
Scarlet Witch is Mary-Kate and Ashley's younger sister.
Is she?
Yeah, she's the younger sister.
Wanda.
Yes.
Wanda.
Wanda. Just doing it to the younger sister. Wanda? Yes. Wanda? Wanda?
I'm just doing it to the tune of Linda.
So she's the younger one.
And she was also in...
I can't bring myself to watch WandaVision yet.
I can't get excited about that.
I'm going to watch it in lockdown.
Fucking Cleveland show.
Joey.
You know what I mean?
Like, no.
What are you doing?
You've got enough good stuff. what are you doing with that stuff?
WandaVision like you haven't even
I can't
well apparently you've got to stick with
apparently it's like
apparently it's worth it and a lot of people we
respect have said it's good like
my dad, Mark Nelson
have both went aye I like this dad Mark Nelson have both when I
I like this
grinding you down
thing
like the fucking
series is now
I get like men
in the 1920s
they're just like
they're just
they're just kept at it
until I liked them
ah you've got
that's
that's American TV
American TV shows
are always
it's Stockholm Syndrome
no no
it's in the same way,
the American comedies and the American dramas
work in the exact same way,
the difference between British stand-up and American stand-up,
which is, in British stand-up,
you have to get the audience's attention
within the first fucking five seconds
and you've got to keep it for the first minute.
La-la-la-la, pay attention here.
Americans will watch you for three...
They'll give you three minutes cursory watching
regardless of what you're fucking
doing. They're like that first round of
Anderson Silva when he used to just test his
jab for five minutes and you'd be like
oh you've got to see this guy, he's the best fighter that's ever
walked the earth and then you'll spend like three minutes
doing fucking nothing.
To make a British person look at something
you've got to convince a British person
to look at something. American person will just
look at something for three minutes
and then they'll go, okay, and then they'll move on.
Neither's wrong, neither's right.
So I, like, and I mean, it has worked with everything that you've done.
Like when you said stick with Schitt's Creek,
because I just didn't get it at first.
I was just like, I don't get the acting.
Which, by the way, you and Gene totally remind me totally remind me
of Stevie and John
Stevie and
oh god
where's his fucking name
John
no
no I know the names
of the characters
David
no no no
I know the names
of the characters
David
you're thinking
Natalie's
Natalie's screaming
at the podcast
she's heard me
crack that joke
three names
and then
now she knows who I feel.
Yeah, so I stuck with Schitt's Creek.
It also was Daredevil when Daredevil first came out.
And I wasn't mad on the Marvel Universe at the time.
I didn't even realise it was part of that universe even.
Even though it's kind of it is but it isn't
no you didn't give
much of the Marvel movie
Thor's was the one
you never
Thor I walked out
of the cinema
Thor 2
alright but that is
even Marvel fans
will admit Thor 2
because I'd never seen
any of the other ones
really
I'd saw Iron Man
right
hadn't made the connection
that Thor and Iron Man
were the same universe
right
so like I'm just watching
a complete standalone
film here
and they were hiding
behind their menus
when someone
was there
and it was
quite obvious
that the person
could see them
or whatever
I can't even
remember how
it went
but I just
went sorry
Danny
but I'm off
like I'm
fucking left
in the cinema
did you come
with
yes
you left now
you made me
but I've re-watched
it since
and it's still
shit
it's part of
the run through
but it was
one where
I had like
because Natalie wasn't
convinced at all
about the Marvel Universe
but during lockdown
I was like
we're doing it
beginning to end
I haven't seen all of them
right through
the ones I have seen
I've seen out of
chronological order
like I want to
I want to watch it through
so like let's do it
and I had to just
kind of
I just
but one of the films
I watched at the cinema
was that bad
and then because
I preempted it with that
it turned out to be as bad as before
I don't know which four movie it is
but one of my favourite four moments is when he has a coffee
in the coffee shop
and then throws the cup down and goes
ANOTHER!
that's just the first one
I want to do that all the time
it's never far from remained when I finish a drink
ANOTHER! that's one of my favourite Andrew Maxwell jokes it's never far from my mind when I finish a drink another
that's one of my favourite
Andrew Maxwell jokes
it's just about
the reason I love babies
is because every baby
drinks like a viking
like it's just
both hands
both hands on a big thing
just glug
glug
dribbling out the side
of its mouth
downs it all
and then just sort of drops
the cup
falls to the
side
and then
vomits on
itself
you're like
it's the closest
we can get to
Norse
oh god I
miss stand-up
I miss
I miss jokes
I miss
fucking being
I miss watching
other people's
sex
not bad
not everyone's
like I know
there's some
comedians listening
to this being like oh that's nice not I know there's some comedians listening to this
being like, oh, that's nice.
Not yours.
Not yours, no.
Like, if you listen to this podcast,
it's safe to assume that I'm not a fan of your stand-up.
Elliot, the offender.
Oh, no, I forgot Elliot does listen.
Oh, that feels so specific.
Oh, that's not true.
I really liked Elliot's last show.
Was that the hour long one sure
so not the 37 minute one
no it was the hour one
aye
aye
the one for
I love Elliot so much
the one where Elliot
sat down for bits
of his show
and then on the last show
I sat down on my chair
on the show
and he was like
you nicked that from me
and I was like
yeah
I sat I still sitting on a chair nicked that from me and I was like yeah I sat
I still sitting on a chair
doing stand up
from you Elliot
I apologise
I'll go tell Dave Allen
oh wait he's dead
is he
yep yep
he started it
I think
I was talking on
yeah
I was having a cry
on my Twitch stream
the other day
because you know
when your knickers
are on a twist
and you don't know why
you've just got sand
in your knickers
no I'm only ever approachable and uh i was i was thrashing it out and i was
talking about that how i miss uh i miss just like you're at you're at the comedy because you're at
a gig but when you're sat in the room you're actually like a fan of the craft like to the
point that you want to do it you know I was talking about some of the best ones
in the audience.
You know when you do
the Manchester Comedy Store
and say you're on
in the second section, right?
And you can just go
into the balcony
and watch the full first section.
Someone like McFerrie
will be on.
Aye.
Like hosting
and just fucking
weaving magic
out of fresh air.
And you're looking,
you're watching those guys
like fuck man
that's like
incredible
and then you'll
say welcome
to the stage
Mark Nelson
and then you
just go for a
pint
then you just
say where's
the boss
just there
I'll just
go
Mark would
be so
wounded
and also
he's such
a bad
example
because he's
one of the
best in the
world
Mark's one of the ones I leave world. I might sort of want to have the green room for him.
Whenever he walks in.
Just bugging off our mates.
Just slagging off our mates.
I can't do it to their face.
No, we'll do that on the Patreon.
They're not going to pay for it.
All right, fair enough.
Slag them all off.
This is a Patreon episode.
It's not actually.
But that is out soon.
Do you want to explain it? Because I don't know what's happening
People can support the podcast

Her fingers.
Just clawed at you? Aye.
Like a cat?
Aye.
What were you doing?
Dangling ya yarn in her face
minding
minding my own business
oh yeah
aye
just
I was just
I was actually on my computer
and I was
I think I was donating money
to a charity or something
or em
virtually
saving an orphan
from a burning bus
aye
and she'd just come up
and was like
stop that
everything for a reason
aye
just
she went calm as a bitch and I was like what have I done and she was like I that everything for a reason she went calm as a bitch
when I was like what have I done
she was like I don't know
why is she scratching you
in real life
she just fell
she was falling
I was on the couch
she was falling off the side
and instead of putting her hand on a pillow
to stable herself
she was like I know what's her hand on a pillow to stable herself she was like
I know what's firmer
than a pillow
an eyeball
I'll just
I'll just squish
the eyeball in
aye
I can't say it now
actually
domestic abuse
aye
do you want to
what can you not
are you going to be alright
well I mean
I thought you'd noticed
this black spot
that I'd drawn
on the palm of my hand
do you flinch
when she moves now
erm yes but mainly because I think she's I thought you'd noticed this black spot that I'd drawn on the palm of my hand. Do you flinch when she moves now?
Yes.
But mainly because I think she's starting a race.
That was one of your first jokes.
What?
About when your dad's in customs and he takes his belt off
and you and your brother are like,
Daddy, no.
Joe Caulfield's got a better one,
which is, I remember when I was young,
my dad got really mad.
He used to take off his belt and, fuck,
he ruined us.
I don't think she said ruined,
but that was the pastime of Jesse Shack,
them instead.
Oh, I miss watching Stand Up, man.
You've all got to get a day or two.
I am.
You've got two weeks in quarantine.
You'll be able to watch loads on Netflix.
I'll get to fucking go
I mean I'll
I'll properly
go and watch
there's not many
he's gone out there
you know
I know it's
you, Carl Donnelly
Stephen Scopeless
but he was over
well he's one of them
he's over there
yeah
and there's a couple
of like
actors that live out there
as well
like Gordon Southerner
and that who
but as far as
the British
circuit goes
these are pretty much
there's about five years
carrying with
ambassadors
don't let me down
I've got to get
you're not just playing
out there in your boots
you're wearing my boots
yeah
different country aye
aye
that's my shirt
on your back
you're representing I'm looking forward to it Yeah. Country, aye. Aye. That's my shirt on your back.
You're representing.
I'm looking forward to it.
Good to see people.
Got to watch some shows.
Aye.
I think... Oh, I mean...
What was the last show you watched as a punter?
Oh, God, I mean...
That's...
Oh, God. Weirdly... Did we watch... oh god I mean that's oh god weirdly
did we
what
Demi Lardner
and Tom Walker
they both did
their show
in Melbourne
in 2019
it must have been
festival
that's what I'm thinking
of 2019
Melbourne Fringe
Michelle Wolfe
I went to see
Michelle Wolfe
in Melbourne
and I feel like that's the last show that I went to see
that I wasn't part of the show
because everything after that
was tour
or gigs.
And then we just couldn't.
And at the Edinburgh Festival,
we didn't do the full run.
We'd just done them like four or five days.
At the Playhouse.
Don't say just four or five days.
Oh, wait a minute.
At the Playhouse. You wanted just four or five days at the playhouse
you wanted to
mention that
well yeah
we did four or
five days
we didn't just
do them at the
fucking playhouse
we still did
better than
everyone there
that's the
important thing
thanks for
saying we
there
I'm clearly
than that
oh wait a
minute that
fringe I
think I
went to
see
Liam Whiffniel Liam Whiffnall.
Liam Whiffnall's show might have been the last show I've seen.
Surely not.
No, we must have seen.
We didn't see it.
Oh, my God.
I fucking, like, I miss live comedy.
We've got to.
Even if they went, you don't have to start until 2022 but you can start watching
it again this year and be like
mint
that's a big part of it
just go down and fucking I'd love to just stand
at the back of fucking Red Raw for a bit
aye
just watch some fucking
three day old comics
bomb with shite
cringe out of my skin
I just watched the one or two that have got promise
But they're like stepping on their own jokes a bit too much
And they're talking a bit too fast
But you know they've got it
They're getting enough laughs to really get the buzz
When they come off stage
But they're also still partly doing an impression of someone else
And you go alright you're still doing a fucking
Whether it be Mitch Hedberg
routine or
sorry not
routine but
cadence
so when we started
because we restarted
at a similar time
we were like a year
before me
but when I started
for sure
people were doing
Stuart Lee impressions
and none of them
were getting
fucking anywhere
none of them
were getting anywhere
because they weren't
they didn't think
there was importance
on Punchline
because he
he can captivate an audience so long without getting to the big laugh and when
the big laugh comes it's worth it so like stuart stuart lee nails that style because he's got a
wealth of experience and he got there but i i remember coming through in a time when open makes
were doing that and sometimes hostile rooms and they just didn't have it. I was just like, all you have to do to win in this environment
is get a punchline a minute.
Aye, that's it.
And you're winning your competition.
Aye.
And then there was a Bill Burr phase.
I went through a Bill Burr phase.
I went through a Louis C.K. phase.
You went through a Tom Stade phase.
I went through a Tom Stade phase.
I went through an Ed Byrne phase.
You went through the Tom Stade idios went through an Ed Byrne phase the Tom Stade
idiosyncrasy
that you picked up the most was
pretending to talk while they're laughing
away from the mic
as if you had a little afterthought that was just for yourself
so you could see your lips moving
and your eyes looking as if you were thinking
but you weren't specifically saying anything
and I'd spotted that in Tom
and then I saw you doing
it and i was like oh you've absorbed that from staying you know uh you know dave chappelle's uh
how he hits the mic off of his leg somebody's laughing that's tony woods is that yeah that's
good so tony woods is there i mean even dave shipel admits that tony was the one that inspired
him but i remember watching tony woods uh for the first time because i didn't know who he was the one that fucking inspired him but I remember watching Tony Woods for the first time because I didn't know who he was
the first time I watched him when I was about fucking
20 or 19 in Oz
and I remember I was like
oh my god he just stolen that thing off Dave Chappelle
and the head of the comedy store was like nope
wrong way round
and I was like oh my god
I think that was the moment where you just fucking realise
you go I can't believe Dave Chappelle
obviously Dave Chappelle
was inspired by people
obviously the greats
are inspired by people
and obviously the people
that are inspired by
aren't as always
fucking successful
as they are
wasn't Romesh
that started the wave
of people dropping
the mic down by the side
Romesh
you know
you do a punchline
it bangs
people start laughing
your hands drop
no that wasn't
that wasn't Romesh
nah
because I remember like so Mac done that and't that wasn't Ramesh because I remember
like
some act on that
and then that just
seemed to be a thing
where you'd get a bunch
of open mic guys
or like
tell a joke
that's like
underwhelming
they're expecting
a big laugh
that the
Frankie always
Frankie
so the mic goes
below the hip
it's almost like
it's a good bit
of stagecraft
because it buys
a round of applause
people are laughing
but if you drop the mic down,
it's like you're waiting for more, and the applause would come,
and you'd see that somebody must have started that
because that's not a bit of stagecraft I remember from the early days,
but then it's something that you'd see quite a lot of.
I remember when we started, everyone was doing a Russell Kane impression
or a Russell Hamilton impression.
Oh, stretch, either way.
Skinny jeans and lunging.
Aye.
So they couldn't just stand still
while they were talking.
A lot of, and I was absolutely guilty of this.
I fucking understand.
You were doing groin stretches on stage, weren't you?
Oh, no, I didn't do groin stretches.
I wasn't that bad,
but one of the ones that amongst,
it's such a fucking hack thing that people do.
They've definitely done it.
But you know when you do like an impression of something
and then you're like,
I don't know what my hand's doing there
yes you do
like you've done that
you've done that riff
a thousand fucking times
and also you put your hand
in that position
like oh so he's standing
over here saying this
I don't know what my hand's
doing over there
that's so weird
like I'm so kooky
I don't know what I'm doing
yeah
aye
faux improv
aye faux improv
aye aye
god I miss
I'm getting faux improv
because I'll do
I'll do an improv
that gets a ding laugh
and then I'll go
oh they'll not know
tomorrow that that's
not improv
if I get that right
that's fine
what I mean is
specifically like
the fucking
I've just done this
oh this weird
bit in the moment
you can
redo an improv
I think is a different
half of just
repackaging a
fucking lie
and that's why
I think it's class
it's just going
I'm going to make every single
one of you think I just came up with this right now.
You fucking idiot.
Well, with stand-up, I feel like there is that
illusion of spontaneity anyway, where
you've got to talk like
you're just thinking of this now.
I'll tell you who's the best at it.
Ross Noble.
He looks like he's making it all up on the spot
and then you'll see him the next day. And you go, what the... Ross Noble is absolutely he looks like he's making it all up on the spot and then you'll see him the next day
and you go
what the
Ross Noble is the absolute
fucking master of
like
I'm just coming up with this
aye
play it in the fresh air
I fucking
I think Ross Noble is one of the
not only one of the
funniest comedians
as a bloke
he's one of the best
just if
last time I was in Australia
I was in was it Perth or Adelaide I was in Australia I was in
was it
Perth or Adelaide
I was just
flying somewhere
you know what
I'm like at an airport
fucking
headphones
in
not paying much
attention
and I'm just in the queue
and I just hear
behind me
somebody's just going
oh my god
it's Daniel Sloss
oh that's
that's definitely
that's definitely
that's definitely
Daniel Sloss should we go talk to him that's definitely that's definitely Daniel Sloss
should we go talk to him
I'm like
oh fuck
don't
don't talk to him
just
just touch him
just like
touch his ear
just touch his
touch his neck
or something
you just turn around
and go
you fucking dead
to fucking snap your fingers
off your little clod
and I did
and I spat on
Ross Noble's face
what's up Ross I've only I spat on Ross Noble's face what's up Ross
I've only met him
once before seven years ago
but he was like I saw you over there and I've just been
following you for a bit I'm like fucking class
man so we went through security
because he knows that
that's something that absolutely would
wind up. So do you know how was it
my first ever Fringe Festival in 2010
my first ever full hour Festival in 2010 my first ever
full hour
I'd been up doing
the competitions
in 2009
so 2010
I've got my first show
I still work at the time
I've got a full time job
to go back to
after August
and
I finished the show
and
there was a woman
in the front
who had been
a really good sport
and
it's because
my show was filth I'm 25 i'm me right
we show was filth right and this woman was this elderly woman who was really sweet and i was like
i put it on at the beginning i was like this show totally depends on how much you're going to enjoy
it because if you're disgusted by the stuff i come up with everyone's going to feel really awkward
it's like sweating in front of me grand kind of thing right this woman was a belt a sport and she
laughed at everything
and like yeah
she was such a big part
of the show
for that specific show
that I got her a big
round of applause
or something
and then I just heard
the shout from the back
which was like
where's my round of applause
or something like that
right
and I was like
fucking
eh
she was like
where's my round of applause
I went get the lights up
who's that
and it was Ross Noble's
ma'am right
and she just went she used to be my school teacher Miss Noble's my round of applause I went get the lights up who's that and it was Ross Noble's mam right and she just went
she used to be
my school teacher
Miss Noble
was my head of year
I was always in trouble
I'd always end up
in detention with her
and she just went
ah you used to give me shit
when I was at work
I thought I'd come
to your place
and show it
I was like
I'll wait until the end
and I got up
and gave her a hug
and all that
and I remember
touching people
in the middle of the show
never met Ross Noble
but aye
spent loads of time
with his ma
oh he's great
he's eh
he's fucking sound
so I've got some stuff
to say about your dad
speaking of
speaking of parents
speaking of parents
of comedians
who the fuck's
just phoned me
I'm fucking mad
this is a podcast from Tyrell oh we've got a I've got a cameo to do Speaking of parents of comedians. Who the fuck's just phoned me? I'm fucking mad. This isn't podcast material.
Oh, I've got a cameo to do.
I'll do that.
You can get in that as well,
because that's a podcast listener.
Hold on, let's...
I'll not do it on the podcast,
because it's a surprise for the birthday.
I'll not say it now.
Aye.
But, right.
Your dad opens cans of tuna
with his teeth.
When your dad was in school,
he swapped a Scotland bad shiny
that he needed
for one half of the England squad,
which he already had three of.
Not even remotely true.
That is, aye.
There it is.
Your dad has a tongue
like a chameleon
and he uses it to catch
other people's bogeys
that they try to flick away
Your dad got rushed into hospital
Because I did a got your nose
But really committed to the bit
Your dad thinks all dogs are Christians
And all cats are Jews
And has spent most of his retirement
Circumcising the field line population
Your dad videos himself giving money
to homeless people for his YouTube channel
and then he asks for it back when he stops filming.
Your dad pisses upwards when it rains
to remind the sky of who's really boss.
The boss is gravity.
Gravity always, always wins.
Your dad went to confession to tell the father
about all the sins he had at Weight Watchers.
Your dad's got a little hole in the side of his head
and if you put a paper clip in it
and hold it down for five seconds,
basically it just resects him
and he forgets everything that happened in the last hour
and he only ever uses it
whenever you've popped round for a cuppa.
And you always spend the rest of the day
wondering what his bum's sore
