Welcome to our latest episode of Sloss and Humphreys on the road.
This one is done remotely over Zoom.
Daniel is in Australia.
I'm still at home in Glasgow.
We had a Zoom call and we recorded it at either end
and we've merged the two tracks together.
Fucking, you're getting to see a lot behind the curtain here.
And I want to thank the patrons for signing up to this shit
and making sure that we still kept it going
in such circumstances
and I thank everybody else who's tuning in as well
I still love you too, just not as much
because you don't pay what you know
you're kind of freeloading but I still like you
you're still enjoying my crack
top and bottom of it
but this is a good episode because Danny's in lockdown
and in quarantine in Australia
and he's trying to keep himself busy in the hotel room
with no real outside stimulation.
And he tells a funny story about some water weights
that his agent made him take with him.
If you follow him on Instagram, you saw the mess.
We talk about that.
I find it very funny.
I think you will too.
And enjoy.
Here it is.
Sloss and Humphries on the road
Muggins and Cream, Cream and Muggins

Where have you been since 9-11?
Are you recording on yours?
I've already started. I've already started.
I've already started. I mean,
this'll just be a this'll just be a tough editing job for you,
that's all. Alright,, I'm here then.
Fuck you.
I'm just going to leave that in.
Fair enough.
As long as you sing them together,
I couldn't give a wet hot shit.
I'll deal with that.
Don't you worry, mate.
Man, I'm too busy.
I couldn't possibly do it.
I'm fucking my schedule.
Choke a block.
I've got no free time in the day
to possibly edit anything together.
I mean, they've just missed the song.
Off mic, I sang
a song. It was the best one yet.
It was the best intro.
Sure. It went something
like this.
Fuck, I shouldn't.
You and me together.
Oh, fuck, what's the words? Home and away.
Come on. I don't know. Why's the words home and away come on
oh I don't know
why would I know
home and away
I was born in 1990
not fucking 1980
you pig
I don't think
but you were in Australia
so like
catch up with the culture
do you think that's the national
learn their language
do you think it's the national anthem
if you
mate if you
if you guys be there
would work there
at least learn the language
home and away
that's the culture it's the national anthem I know believe me If you guys be there, we'd work there, at least learn the language. Home, home.
That's the culture.
It's a national anthem.
I know, believe me, I know the Australian language.
Can't and fuck off immigrants.
I'm very fluent.
You and I belong together.
Me and you forever and ever.
Live in the dream where Morgan's head cream
eh?
aye? sure
one day you'll join in
I highly doubt that
I would not
raise anyone's expectations
like that
I've been listening back to old podcasts
because we're doing a rewind section
on a Wednesday
now where we'll
just do a clip
from an old podcast
next Wednesday
is going to be
the naked man
that walked across
the front of your bed
and I've done
literally nothing
about it
you know that story
yes
and you spent
17 minutes
calling us a little bitch
now that story
even though
it was only
17 minutes I mean it was only 17 minutes
I mean
it was a running theme
throughout the rest
of the podcast
but like
the bulk of the story
was
so
when I've been
listening back to them
you can enjoy
the little melodies
at the beginning
it turns out
that you were like
cool with it
I just waterboarded
you over 200 episodes
and ground you down
you had spirit you and ground you down.
You had spirit when I did them.
Well, good.
I'm glad you're to blame and it's not me.
And also, hopefully, I reckon the OG fans probably know that.
I think our impression of what this podcast is, is very different to what the people
who've listened to it throughout the entire
time. Because, you know, a lot of the time
we do this podcast, either one of us
or both of us is fucked.
Or at least inebriated in some
way. And I'm going to be honest right now,
I've got Irish balcony
neighbours, so I'm fucking
several ciders fucking deep today.
Have you been chatting to your neighbours?
Oh, man. So, like, any neighbours so I'm fucking several ciders fucking deep today have you been chatting any neighbours? oh man so
like
let me to just explain how
fucking well
the Australians have fucking
done this right
so getting on the plane right
there's
it's a double decker Boeing
it's fucking 787 whatever it is
and I'm talking maximum
40 passengers on it
like it's like the woman
when I'm checking in she goes you're going to
see a lot of free rows
and you're going to be tempted to obviously
lie down and just steal one of them for yourself
don't those are there for social distancing
and like I'm like honey I'm
in business class at no point am I looking at the three rows in economy
going oh I wish it was me
like I'll be grabbed
is that in her mind
is her mind is a row in economy
better than a seat in business
is it
well the bed's definitely longer
because like four chairs beside each other
is longer than like the single.
I'm saying a poor air.
Here's a question.
Can you buy a row?
And is buying a row cheaper than buying business class?
I think you'd have to be quite like,
because you know how sometimes they make
like larger people buy
two air seats on your plane do they do that do they do that well they do yeah and i i i do i
yeah they do and i understand that's a point of contention that's a real awkward conversation
that like because it's a subjective conversation do you get you start measuring people like like
what point do you start going right you look like you're not on the board so i'm gonna have to either just judge you and make
a decision ruin the day for whoever sat next to you or measure you to see if you're within the
limit to be fair i think uh from from the people i know that do have to that do take up two chairs
on flights most of the time they just do it themselves.
Like it's,
they know their size.
They do it themselves.
Like if you,
if you're fat,
like really big and you buy one seat on a fucking airplane,
I understand those airplane seats are small.
Like they're small for most people,
right?
But they also do fit most people.
Like some of that is on you.
Like let's not pretend
like they're the smallest things in the world.
Some of the responsibility
does fall on your wide ass.
And, to be fair to most fat people,
they do go,
fair enough, like I take up two seats.
They all wish the seats were bigger.
It feels a little bit like
a lifestyle choice at that point.
And I don't know how ignorant I'm being here,
but I feel like your lifestyle
could be a specific way that you could fit into the one seat, or it could be in the way that it is where you don't fit into the other seat, and it's a decision you've made. Right?
Aye, and yeah, I mean, I don't know. I'm only this big at the moment. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm working on it.
I'm working on it I'm worried about
being underweight
at the moment
I've bought scales
and I keep checking them
because I'm worried
about getting too
I've been doing
morning cardio
every like
five days a week
and I can't eat enough
and like
I've got a six pack
but a skinny lad
with a six pack
it's pointless
you know what I mean
there's prisoners
who all have six packs
POWs have six packs
it's me
it's me
I mean
they're not
they're not they're not six packs
they've not got abs mate
they've got the lines
cutting in, got the hips
yeah
the difference is
you can't call what prisoner of war
have, you can't call those cum gutters
that's when it's
you can hardly be looking at all the people in Auschwitz being like fucking look at the cum gutters that's when it's you can hardly be looking at all the people in
Auschwitz being like fucking look at the cum gutters on that boy fucking take me back then
let me let me run loose um so we get on the fucking plane uh we're not we're not allowed
off the plane in Singapore right so it's like you, which I'm fine with. Like, I think the worst part of flying
in Australia is that bit
where they just make you do the airport
again. Like, hey, we know
you checked in, we know you did security
and we know you're just in transit. But just
for the fucking hell of it, do all of that
again, but also with the panic
of the fact that this next flight leaves in a fucking
hour for no goddamn reason.
So they're like, stay on the flight.
And I'm like, Grant, by the way,
do this for all future flights.
Just leave us on the fucking airplane
and bring the gate.
This could be something that we take from COVID
and move forward into the new world.
Where was that, in Singapore?
Singapore, aye.
I've done that a few times in Singapore
where you're just like, man.
You've got so much money
in this country, why have you got pub
carpets out of the airport?
It looks like a fucking 80s pub
It looks like carpets from when you could still
smoke indoors
Aye, that's because all the
expats in Singapore loved the
80s in the UK and they went over
to a country and were like, fuck it, let's take
this country back to the 80s in the UK and they went over to a country and were like, fuck it let's take this country back to
the 80s in the UK, we're expats
and we hate fucking everything
Is that true, sorry we'll get back
to track, is that true
Colin puts news
stories in the WhatsApp group, right
and he never checks his sources, he just
confirmation biases what he likes
and he sends us a news story to us
now he screen capped something out of an article,
so it didn't have the source or anything.
But it was about they've started deporting Brexit-voting expats
back from Spain in their crime in the airport.
Is that true?
Yes, that's true.
They're getting ahead of being illegal immigrants.
Not only is it true it's finger licking true
that's where I'm at
I read it
I filled with joy
like it filled me
cup
like I was re-energised
it was like
it was good
for me mental health
to read it
right
but then I was like
oh it's screen capped
it looks like
somebody could have
just typed it out
on word
and then screen capped
it and sent it around
like I don't know if this is true,
but the quote was about somebody crying in the airport
given the interview.
Let me rephrase your question,
and then I'll phrase it to you.
Is your question,
are British people who live in Spain racist dumb cunts?
Yes.
Yes, they are.
And not all of them, but 98%.
And are they getting repercussions for their stupidity and their racism?
Yep.
Are they getting...
Yep, they are.
They're not allowed,
because it's not necessarily they're being fucking deported,
but it's the fact that their fucking visas have run out.
They don't have citizenship in these countries.
They're expats.
They're just out there for a fucking bit.
And now that we're no longer part of the EU,
we don't have that benefit of being able to free travel
between these countries.
And it's coming back and biting them in the ass.
And if you are one of these people,
may I say from the bottom of my heart,
ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, and if you are one of these people may I say from the bottom of my heart ha ha ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha ha ha
fuck you and your mother
could I just add to that as well
ha ha ha ha ha ha
aye and dad dropped you
aye and also
I know your child's probably only
six months old but put the headphones on
your child right now and allow me to say this to your child ha ha ha ha ha ha I know your child's probably only six months old, but put the headphones on your child right now and allow me to say this to your child.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
I know you're innocent,
but you're going to be raised by two cunts,
so I've got no faith in you having the ability
to become a human being properly.
So, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
Fuck you in 18 years.
And now, could you rewind that whole section,
play it back yourselves, but turn it up.
Put it through the big speakers
send it to one of your
fucking mates in Ibiza that you can no longer
hang out with and get them to turn it into a
fucking drop
put a beat in it
a little bit, break it down
over to the listeners
man there's something fucking...
In the same way that, like, that's funny,
in the same way that every time an anti-vaxxer dies,
it's fucking hysterical.
No exceptions asked.
It is.
Especially if they get hit by a car.
Well, fully immune.
Nothing to do. Aye, fully immune nothing to do
I fully
immune
all of this
is like the
anti-vaxxer
the anti-vaxxer
dying of
covid
the
the
brexit vote
next part
getting deported
it's it's the
guy it's the
the guy who
the flat earther
who fucking
made the rocket
we need his
name because
that's the it's the that his name rocket we need his name because that's the
it's the
his name
mad mike
mad mike
it's the
the mad mike
what's the word
no not
what's the word
for the thing
that it is
the
the mad
no
no
schadenfreude
I'm trying to say
fallacy
like the mad mike
fallacy
but fallacy's wrong
because fallacy means
like it's
it's not correct.
The Mad Mike technique.
There's a word.
People are screaming it.
Nah.
The Mad Mike's something.
We need to coin it, though.
How can we coin it if we can't find the word, Daniel?
Speaking of the fucking Mad Mike thing,
one of the promo bits I've had to do
for fucking selling tickets in Australia
is the Guardian out here
they were like
can you send us 10 of
your funniest videos
online, 10 videos on YouTube that you
find very very funny
we'll stick them on our webpage and it'll
get people to know your sense of humour
so I obviously stick in
the death of Mad Mike
because you'll never convince me
that that's not the funniest video.
Is this for telly?
Is this for TV?
No, no, no.
It's just for the Guardian website.
Oh, right.
I thought you were trying to get snuff porn on telly.
An actual death.
Right, so the Guardian
get back in contact
so they're like
this is great
so thanks so much
for doing this Daniel
really appreciate it
and then they said
like an email
three days later
being like
sorry we've just
fully watched
through the video
does that guy die
in the video
and I was like
yeah
that's why it's funny
it wouldn't be funny
if he survived because then he'd just
do it, he would just continue spreading
his line, we can't
we can't post that on our
website, can you give us a
10th video and I'm like, you're sending
9 out and I'll tell the public
why you're sending 9 out
because you refused to admit
the 10th, I actually buckled and I
said, it's so fucking funny.
May I?
Right, so you...
Go on.
You land in Australia.
Bye-bye.
You land in Australia,
you get off with 40 fucking people,
and we're on the plane for an extra 20 minutes,
because another plane has landed,
and you are not allowed to
even be in proximity of that plane
that entire plane has to go through immigration
collect their luggage
before you're allowed off your plane to get to
immigration because they do not have
any crossover between fucking
anything
but it's a quick immigration
because it's 40 fucking people
you get straight through, you pick up your luggage.
So the whole time, because I'm fucking angling for an upgrade in the hotel room,
I'm like, hi, do you know the name of the hotel that we're going to?
And they just go, the police decide.
Like, it's up to the police where you go.
Now, go talk to the army people.
And you go talk to the army people.
And the army take your luggage.
They put it under the fucking bus.
The air force takes you on the bus.
What?
Fucking makes you write down all,
write down all these fucking forms
of all your fucking details
and then you're on this one bus
on the way to a hotel
with a police officer
on a motorbike in the front.
My God,
I didn't know it was this military man.
I thought it was procedures
and protocol in place.
I didn't think it was
a fucking
absolute operation
oh it's one of the most
like genuinely
fucking props
to Australia
like it's
it's very impressive
of how they've done it
get to the fucking hotel
and I say
I'm like look
I'd like an upgrade
if it's possible
for an upgrade
I'd just like one
that's
I can afford it and I'd like one.
Please let me know.
And they go, it's not up to us if you can have an upgrade.
It's up to the police whether you can have an upgrade
because we can't transfer you from room to room.
The police have to transfer you from room to room
to make sure that you don't go anywhere else.
It's got, like, everything is this fucking efficient.
So, like, the morning of the Wednesday,
they phone up and it's the hotel guy and he goes,
Mr. Sloss, I've heard you want an upgrade.
And I'm like, yep, happy to pay whatever it is.
Like, it's a two-week quarantine.
I'm out working and I've, you know,
I've come from a fucking quarantine in the UK
where I'm allowed outside.
I'm fine with quarantines, but I do need my fresh air.
So the police then
phone half an hour later
and Mr Sloss, how you doing? I'm doing fine
is there any particular
reason you want an upgrade? And I was like man
I'm not going to lie to you, like I could say
I'm claustrophobic, I could say I've got all these things
I just
want an upgrade
no no, didn't say that, I went
I literally said I'm chancing my arm
I'm just chancing
my fucking arm
and he just went
right fair enough
we'll come and collect you
in an hour
so I fucking
packed my bags
right
come upstairs
and I'm in this new room
and there's a fucking balcony
now immediately
because I'm
like
unlike you
I wasn't raised
I was raised in an area
where we respect the police
and laws in place
but even the Australian ones I was raised in an area where we respect the police and laws in place.
Even the Australian ones.
I call them soon.
So I get into my... But I see the fucking balcony and I open the door and I step out onto it
and immediately I just go,
there's no way,
there's no way you're allowed to have a balcony during a quarantine.
There's no way during a fucking quarantine
I'm allowed the opportunities
to spit on the public.
That seems inherently against
what, you know, quarantine is.
So, and there's an ashtray
outside on the balcony as well.
So I run back in,
I phone reception
and I just go dead sheepishly.
I'm like, hi, sorry, it's Mr. Sloss's room, whatever.
And they go, yeah, I mean, we know that,
but that's what the system tells us who you are.
It's 2021, dude.
Did you dial with your finger?
Like, you know, the circle dial thing,
the old school phones.
The rolling phones.
I operate, I put me through
please
and she connects
to reception
then she plugs in
one of them
big aux cables
into the reception
part of the switchboard
so I go
am I
am I allowed
out in the balcony
and she goes
uh huh
that's
that's
that's why you paid
for a balcony
I was like
yeah
just double checking.
And also, there's an ashtray on the balcony.
Are you allowed to smoke?
And she went, no, but who's going to stop you?
Like, you're on a, who's checking?
You're on a COVID floor.
And I'm like, you?
I'm not regressing on myself now.
Just double checking
so
so if you
you don't
what's funny about this
is you don't smoke
well you just
kind of take it up
as a
two fucking years
but
well you take it up
as a hobby
because you're bored
break up the day
aye
so I've started smoking again
aye
aye
so I go out
and I fucking
I have
man I've gone through I've gone through a pack in four I go out in the fucking I have man
I've gone through
I've gone through a pack
in four days
it's class
it's like a
man
do you know what
genuinely
something to look forward to
something to look forward to
man
yeah no
four o'clock
I have coffee
with a wine
coffee and a minty
on a balcony
aye
in Australia
that's Adelaide man
that was our first fucking
Adelaide trip
me and Jimmy McGee.
That was a 2014 trip, wasn't it?
We had it all.
Like,
a minty and a fucking coffee on a balcony.
Aye.
Like that.
Aye, that sounds delightful.
So, I go out there,
and we've got,
I go in the balcony,
I've got two Irish neighbours,
like, next balcony and we've got, I go in the balcony, I've got two Irish neighbours, like next balcony and next balcony over
called Mike and Mick
because of course that's their fucking name.
Paddy couldn't make it, could he not?
No, no, I think he died.
I think he actually didn't make it through COVID.
Otherwise, they're all very upset.
So they've done
four quarantines. They're out here
they sell
horses and
this is their fourth one.
Mick and
Mike, your Irish name, have sold
horses.
Aye.
You have made the
most cliched imaginary friends.
Like, your imaginary friend has no imagination.
You just stuck to the stereotype.
You didn't give it any flair.
No, no.
Please, please.
It's like I said to my friend Francois the Frenchman.
He said, sacre bleu.
He was shocked.
He couldn't believe it.
Yeah, he threw his necklace of onions over his shoulder
and tutted.
Aye.
And unfortunately, my Australian neighbour
who was coming back into the country,
I didn't go eat her baby.
So it's been very tough for her as well.
So we're all going through separate things.
They are other quarantines
they were in single fucking rooms where you weren't even allowed to open the window for the
two weeks so at any point that i was about to be like you know like oh this is you know tough this
is isolation there's two irish people beside me who are just out in the balcony every day going this is fucking class
and I'm like oh right alright okay
I guess this is fucking class then
so they just had a different perspective on it
well I mean don't be wrong
they're like look it's still
it's still tough like it's still
isolation like you've got to remember like
the way they punish people in prison
is to isolate them
but they also don't deliver six beers to the room every day three fucking square meals and there's
not you know an xbox and an internet connection um so i mean so yeah i mean just tonight i was
out in the fucking balcony i had it like the mornings are fine because i do my rule to myself
here just to is wake up no phone, read a chapter of my book
work out
immediately, just fucking do that
because otherwise there's no exercise during the
day, you're not doing anything, so do a
workout, do my meditate, go for a
fucking cold shower, I've done four good things
for myself and then however
I treat the rest. And then have a coffee and a minty
on the balcony, fucking stinking weird.
And then have a coffee and a minty. This sounds great fucking sting a weirdy. And then have a coffee and a minty.
Ah man, this sounds great. What I wanted you to do though
because I saw your Instagram story
and I saw it coming a mile off
talk to me about your water
weights.
Oh my
fucking god man.
So
we both
let's do the most important thing that we do
before we ever tell a story about Marlena
which is to preface it with the fact
that she is
she's a brilliant agent
she is an absolute fucking rottweiler
we wouldn't have the careers we have
if it wasn't for her
she's like a benevolent Jamie Spears.
She is.
She means well, but she occasionally misses the mark by a thousand fucking yards, right?
So despite the fact that I haven't seen my personal trainer since fucking I don't know August last year right she she goes what you gonna
do for weights in a week new for working out and when you're in quarantine and
I'm like I'll either just do I'll either rent stuff from the hotel because it'll
be a hotel that's got a gym so though right and I know people who can make
stuff there's also you can rent weights and exercise bikes and treadmills because again australia is used to having people
in quarantine now so there are companies that literally rent or you have everything available
to be delivered to your fucking door yeah and i know people who have all this stuff and there's
so much well there's so much body weight you can do that for the sake of two weeks yes you're not
missing out on a great deal
if you're just doing body weight for two weeks.
Man, a couple of fucking...
I'm not even doing much weight workout.
I'm just doing HIIT stuff.
I'm doing 30 minutes of HIIT,
get body fucking sweat,
press up, like full body workouts,
just get the body moving.
And then if I really wanted to build muscle,
which I'm not in the mood for right now,
but you would do fucking Tom Hardy's prison workout
that he did for fucking warrior.
Yeah. Options there. And if you are well into your weights the mood for right now but you would do fucking Tom Hardy's prison workout that he did for fucking Warwick yeah and if
if you are like
if you are well into your weights
and you are worried
about losing size
and you wanted to do
maintenance for two weeks
you would take a couple
of strong resistance bands
and you would
you would use resistance bands
right
just to
just to be
you're not
you're not gonna put on
any like real size
with
I mean
you probably could I reckon you probably could
put on size with good resistance band training
but despite all of these
but no no despite all of these arguments
that I give Marlena about all these other options
Marlena had heard about this wonderful little website
called wish.com
I didn't know the word
off wish
they're not from wish but they obviously definitely are
she claimed
oh man
so she goes
when I'm over there she just keeps going
so I've bought these water weights for you
I'm like Marlena I don't want water weights
she's like but they're so handy and convenient
because you just take them over
I'm like,
Marlena,
I do not fucking want.
I literally said this,
Marlena,
I do not fucking want
to take these water weights.
I'm not interested in the water weights.
I'm not taking the water weights.
Don't make me fucking take the water weights.
But the second Marlena
gets something in her head,
it's,
that's reality.
It's easier,
it's easier to just do it.
It's easier to just do it.
It's,
so my full intention, my full intention was to just do it. It's easier to just do it. So my full intention,
my full intention was to just take the water weights in the bag and then never fucking open them.
Literally never open them.
I get to Australia, I move into my fucking new room
and they fall out the bag while I'm unpacking
and man, they look comically shit.
Mate, I couldn't believe it.
Like fucking, they look like, no, before they even inflated, man, they look comically shit. Mate, I couldn't believe it. Like fucking,
they look like,
no, before they even inflated, man,
they look like a prize at a fucking fun fair shit.
Like I can tell,
the second I see the package,
I'm like,
these are the worst things in the world.
So I'm just going to fill them up
because I know how shit this is going to be.
It's going to be a laugh.
Hello?
It's going to be a fucking laugh.
Oh, my fucking God.
There you are. Because i honestly thought right i thought
when she said you got these water weights right what it would be is like a plastic frame like you
know how you've got the ones that are full of cement like the plastic one and they've got like
the cap on them right i thought she was giving you a bunch of like plastic things that you could fill
and that would like fit onto the bar and then actually still be even though they didn't weigh
so much when you traveled,
they'd still take up quite a lot of your bag.
So in my head, I was like,
that's quite a lot of displacement in your suitcase for the sake of having what?
What's the maximum you're going to get?
Like 14 kilos or something?
Because if you're using water to get a 20 kilo dumbbell,
it's got to be fucking massive, man.
It's got to be stupidly big
so I was expecting like about
10 kilos, 12 kilos of
worth of like plastic frame that you
put on that would be at least
robust, right
and I still thought that was ridiculous
I thought it was gonna be
terrible
you weren't expecting 8 condoms
that could be filled up.

the fucking
advertisement image
right
and it's of this
really fucking buff guy
and somehow
they have filled
these weights to capacity
and I'll tell you
how they filled
these weights to capacity
with a lovely
lovely workout
called Photoshop
that's how they made
them with that
fucking pic right
in the same way
that the only reason
that fucking cunt
looked ripped
is because of
fucking Photoshop
so you know I fucking filled them up it's a disaster the float In the same way that the only reason that fucking cunt looked ripped is because of fucking Photoshop.
So, you know, I fucking filled them up.
It's a disaster.
But the floor, I filled them up three days ago.
The floor is still wet where it is.
Like it's damp as fuck to this day.
Not from your sweat and tears though, not from your workout.
Oh no, no, There were definitely fucking tears.
Was the workout just getting easier every rep?
You're just like, it's a piece of piss.
When she... Man, I am dripping with sweat.
When she packed them...
When she gave you them water weights,
did she earnestly think that you were going to have
this, like, rocky montage, really good, sick workout? She thought you were going to have this rocky montage, really good
sick workout
she thought you were going to be there like
I am the tiger, that's the thrill of the fight
just fucking beats
with a sweatband on
and your arms
whenever
the weights get too much all I have to do
is open one of them up and take a quick drink
to fucking refresh myself because they're the most
convenient weights in the whole weight
world.
So,
I post the video on fucking Instagram
and everyone that has
had Marlena harass
them about me bringing them weights,
which is a lot of people. Cullen was harassed
to make me bring the weights.
Cara was harassed by Marlena to make me bring the rates.
My parents knew about these fucking weights.
Everyone I know knew about these fucking weights
because Marlena was so goddamn adamant
that I'd bring them fucking out here, right?
So immediately I post a fucking video
and all of them start messaging me,
dying laughter, going,
this is amazing, this is so funny.
And then fucking God bless marlena
she fucking wakes up she clearly she clearly watches the videos and she just says to me this
bitch she just goes i'm so mortified like i'm so sorry
which is the only which is the only person i could project it i couldn't see it coming
she couldn't see it coming she couldn't see it coming
and she said
she goes
I'm so glad you managed
to get a laugh out of it
but you know
I'm really sorry
she saw the funny side of it
because like Tom
my manager agent over here
he was messaging about it
so he was obviously
giving her a fucking hard time
and Marlena can't
look she can take a fucking joke
so I was like Marlena in what world were they gonna fucking be good like realistically how did
you fucking expect these things to turn out she was just like honestly like they just looked really
good I thought it was so fucking convenient I was like you know what next time next time why don't
you just buy me an inflatable dartboard or better yet better yet I sell you these fucking magic beans
I've got
they're really good
I'll give you them for 5%
less commission
so then
she's been fucking messaging
me and obviously fucking
being Marlena she's like this is
like she's like she feels
screwed right and she's trying to upcycle them and find a second use for them she's like, this is like, she's like, she feels screwed, right? And she's trying to upcycle
them and find a second use for them
and she's trying to find alternative use
Right
she's after a fucking refund, right?
She's after a refund, I'm like, Marlena, I'm not
bringing them back, like
in what world are those going
back? Cut your fucking
losses. And also, refund for what?
69p like she
didn't spend
bucks on
them
apparently she
did but
apparently they
were not
cheap
no
no
I was like
Marlena
Marlena
are you sure
are you sure
you didn't
read the
small print
are you sure
it wasn't
just water
are you sure
it wasn't water weights
and not just water the fucking point weights?
Because it seems to be...
Like, genuinely, I was half fucking tempted to bullshit it
because they're balloons, right?
You can't fill them up properly with water.
There's no way to do that.
But you could do it with air.
So I was very, very tempted to just genuinely inflate them all up,
make them look full.
And then just every day, just post me going through 900 reps.
Just lift them in.
Just with balloons.
Should I essentially blow?
Should I pour you water bombs to wake up with? Wake up with? and left them in just for balloons she essentially she said
she bought you
water bombs
to work out with
work out with
these are people
when
because you've put
you've put them on
Instagram
and that obviously
expires after 24 hours
don't it
send us their videos
and I'll post them
on the
on the Patreon
so people
if people can have
a little like
fucking
they can get they can get
they can get a visual
of what the fuck went on
I'll post it on Patreon
I mean
you'll
they'll save to your phone right
they'll save to your phone
yeah
I'll just
drop and just delete
I mean
save to my camera roll
well
Marlena
so I mean
Marlena's already
Marlena's already
fucking messaged me
because she's like
she's enjoying
all my Instagram videos
and she's like can you save all of those?
And I'm like, I'm not...
I'm not saving...
I'm doing these videos to keep myself sane.
This isn't work.
And I'm not going to turn it into fucking work.
But apparently it does automatically save,
so I should be able to...
I should be able to...
Yeah, I think you can't find an archive on it.
Let's figure that out, because I think it'll be funny for the patrons to yeah I think you can't find an archive on it let's figure that out because I think it'll be
funny for the patrons
because I think
even though we've
described it
I think physically
seeing it
it's fucking
like it blew my mind
because I knew
there was going to be
shit and it was
fucking way worse
than my expectations
way worse
it was
man honestly
the worst
but this is
like
but what's the best thing
about it is
what I really
really like about this
is I can now
use the words
water weight
as a safe word
for the next
five years
against Marlena
oh you can use that
any time
the water weight clause
it's like
you have to do this
I'll be like
water weights
you have to do this
water weights Marlena water weights I don't have to fucking be like water weights She's like you have to do this Water weights Marlena
Water weights
I don't have to fucking do anything
Water weights
It's the water
It's the water weights idea
You've got the water weights clothes
That you can pull out
Water weights clothes
That you can pull out at any moment
Instead of
Aye
Instead of Watergate
This is water weights
Yes
In
Yes
In
Excellent
Excellent 1970s political turmoil reference
I went
I went to the VAR
checked the screen
I blew the whistle
I pointed to the centre spot
in
but you know what
nobody celebrated
because it was
a little bit of like
is it
well I mean
if you point to
the centre spot
that's a
oh wait
I was
yeah
it's not the penalty spot
I nearly fucked your joke
sorry
I didn't worry about it
I literally fucked yours
I travelled all over it
I clocked myself
stepping over one of your jokes
earlier on this podcast
and noticed it
it was the
national anthem one
with home and away
and I realised
I totally stepped over it
and then dropped it back in
later on
so people probably thought that I'd missed it and then dropped it back in later on so people probably thought that I'd missed it
and then used it myself
but I
don't even know what joke you're referencing
when I started talking about you learning the language home and away
and you went oh do you think it's their national anthem
and then I kept on talking and then I went
aye it's the national anthem I heard a joke
earlier I just ignored it and stepped over it
so that's progress right
is that progress?
well I don't think so I saw
in the comments on paper as well
somebody said I did it again I stepped on
a lot of your jokes or something like that
people should
turn it into, people at home
you know what fuck it, from now on
if you want to turn this podcast into a
drinking game, drink every
time Kai steamrolls over
one of my fucking jokes and ignores them
and let us know how
drunk you get, because if you end up slightly
tipsy, I guess that's
progress, but if you end up in
fucking rehab
if your parents have an intervention
they're like, you have to stop
it's not me it's Kai he keeps
ruining Sloss's jokes
but why do you take that so hard
why does it drive you to the bottle
I got
mullered on
Friday night
you know how people like
you know Gav
I'm just acting like
there's a little audience
who don't know
Gav
passed his Sparky exam
he's a qualified
electrician now
and I was like
why don't we just
get you up
and do some work
on your hoose
and that means
I'm hiring you
you're not breaking
Covid rules
to come and have
a fucking pint with us
basically
and I'll give him
a try of your
Thursday
whiskey or the air the
the the line skip a wolfsburn yes I so how to try and I think you know blink
it's three o'clock what fucking absolutely bullet it's a fucking it but
they could get no I mean not to give Wolfsburg any more free advertising,
but you know what?
Fuck it, yes, to give them more free advertising.
It's fucking great.
It doesn't taste like 58%, does it?
You know what?
I was giving Gav a taste, like,
by the way, this tastes fucking lethal, it's pain stripper, right?
Because my memory of it was getting fucking absolutely demolished
off a double.
I had a double and then I moved on to make
as well because I was like fucking I can't keep
drinking this right so
my memory of it is that it was hostile
but it was the reaction that was hostile
not the actual palate of it
so I
it's remarkably smooth
I pitched it to Gav like it was hostile
and Gav had one sip of it and went
this is nice, man.
It just made me feel like a pussy.
And then I was like, I was only meant to be giving him a taste
to say, like, fucking taste how brutal this is.
And then I had a taste of it.
I was like, all right, next thing you know, boosh.
Oh, by the way, fucking next thing you know,
the pair of them, Natalie and Gav, started, honestly,
this is what, you know, like peer pressure.
Someone tries to get you to take a fucking hard drug
that's like, you know, say if like Natalie doesn't decoak,
but then she's running with three people that decoak,
and they're like,
should I have one of them?
And I'll show them she's outnumbered,
and I fucking, right?
You know what they offer?
It's two of them.
Two of them on one of me.
Star scenes, horoscopes,
the fucking pitch that's hard
at fucking one in the morning.
I'm mullet.
And I'm like, yeah,
you still do this to me,
like, don't be fucking trying to read
with the fucking horoscopes on me
at fucking one in the morning.
Like, I'll fucking fight
the period
Gav's
Gav's not a horoscope
is he
oh listen to the pitch
this is the pitch
that he came at it with
right
he was like look
it's not on me
to work out how it works
and I know it shouldn't work
but you can't deny
that certain people
depend on the horoscopes
have certain traits
and
and that's obviously
been pattern formed
by more than one person
that pattern formed
the people's behaviour
and all that right
and then
like a Leo acts this way
and a Taurus acts this way
and then these people clash
and these people work
well together
and all that
and he's like
it's too fucking common
for it to not be
like seen as legitimate
like just because
we can't explain
how it works
doesn't mean it doesn't work
and all that
and I'm like
oh dude I'm like oh dude
I'm like
yeah let me
break a dune for you
you've got like
your school years
right
I got into school
young
with knee pubes
because I'm born in July
right
I got into fucking
baby right
I'm the baby of the year
yet there's somebody
born in September
that's got fucking
hairy armpits
at the start of the term
and all that right
and the fucking
and the thickest foot
because I've had
one year's no education for by the time we, in the thickest fuck because I've had one year
with no education
before by the time
we get to the same age, right?
So you've got people
that are different.
Malcolm Gladwell's got a bit,
Malcolm Gladwell's got a great book
on exactly this,
on exactly this,
the month you were born,
how it determines,
not necessarily your personality,
but your success in the world.
My birthday's in the summer,
six months until Christmas.
I've got a wildly different experience
of fucking self-worth
for people that want to fucking
come out and party with me
compared to the person
that's born on the fucking 27th of December
and nobody gives a fuck
because it's just been Christmas.
You know?
So they probably feel a little bit
like fucking chopped liver.
Like, as far as getting
that little bit of extra attention
poured on them, right?
So there's fucking,
like a million different ways
that you can channel the behavior of somebody and then and then like what you you start talking
again hold on a minute like what about all the different other variables that affect your
behavior like like i'm a middle child so i'm probably gonna start having like i'm probably
gonna start having the traits of a gemini or whatever like I don't know what the fuck traits are in each thing
but there's going to be things that affect
my behaviour that will put me in a bracket
that at some point in time we are fucking stupid stars
like Alanis
is fucking bollocks and all of it's probably
confirmation bias, I could probably
read out, go Gav this is a Leo
and read out Sagittarius to Ian, you'd find something
that fits you and then I'd go and it's bollocks it's a Sagittarius
No, no, that's exactly what horoscopes are of Leo in the middle of Sagittarius and you'd find something that fits here and then I'd go and it's politics of Sagittarius no no
that's exactly
what horoscopes are
you keep them vague enough
to fucking be accurate
here's
talk to anyone
about horoscopes right
and just ask them
to try and explain to you
the basics
so go right
how does
my star sign
how does these stars
millions of light years away
affect my personality
I accept
that the moon
has the ability
to change the tides.
It affects the fucking tides.
Do you know how far away the next nearest star is
from the fucking moon?
I'll tell you what it is.
It's our sun.
Do you know how fucking far away that is?
Do you know how far the next farthest star is?
It takes seven minutes of the speed of light for it to reach it.
Man, like, and you want to...
I just, like, there is...
And I'm devastated to find out that Gav is one of them.
But there is, to me, like, flat Arthurs,
and then, like, literally, I'm going to say
a hair's breadth above them intellect-wise is horoscopally...
Oh, sorry, sorry.
Not a hair's breadth
about the
the width of
the height of
Mad Mike now
so there's Flat Earthers
and then there's
the height of Mad Mike
as a fucking pancake
that's how much higher
in intellect
people with horoscopes are
it's
you have to be
a particular
fucking breed of stupid
to think
that these star signs, which are only
star signs to us.
This is my immediate family, my wife
and my brother.
I'm outnumbered
by them and I'm like, I'm just like
fine, just rolled my sleeves over me. I was like, there could be
fucking 10 of you. There could be
20 of you.
Fucking
oh, Gav, man. Fucking funny. Gav, you read? 20 a year fucking oh get off man
fucking
for you
Gav
I know
Gav
Gav
you read
like I don't
he's a smart kid
you know what it is though
this is
this is the difference
right
as
Natalie
Natalie believes in
Star Saints
because she's sensational
I think she just likes
letting the magic
of it into my life
now
she's a fucking
dreamer right this is the difference I think Gav's I think Gav's letting the magic of it into my life now she's a dreamer
this is the difference
I think Gav's last alley is like that now
but I'll not let it in
you know what I mean
Gav's a little pussy but bitch
he doesn't believe anything
Gav there
is doing what he's fucking told
that's what he's doing
wait since Gav believes in horoscopes is there any chance you fucking told him is what he's doing yeah wait since
hold on
since Gav believes in horoscopes
is there any chance
you could tell him about
these amazing water weights
that I've got for sure
from Dead Goods
they
they're
man
they're so efficient
they're probably
probably the best workout gear
I've got
and I'm willing to sell them
to him
for the marked down price
of 500 pounds
and that's a bargain tell him it's a bargain yeah and if he's a price of 500 pounds and that's a bargain
tell him it's a bargain
and if he's a Scorpio
he should know
that's a fucking bargain
and Mercury's in retrograde
so clearly I'm in a good mood
and that's why
I'm giving this away
that is very Taurus of you
it was funny
I mean
I was good
it was really good
because I hadn't seen
Gavin in six months so it was like it was good crack it was good because I hadn't seen Garbage Six once
so it was like
it was good crack
it was good technical
for his
for his hocus pocus
and then
for his stupid ass
beliefs
and then
yesterday
last night
me and Natalie
watched
fuck I love this man
so much
Sam Rockwell
in Best of Enemies
he's the fucking
best actor
I've not seen Best of It
he's the best actor that there is.
He's fucking...
I don't think there's a better actor than him.
Have you seen Moon yet?
Moon?
Have you seen Moon?
No.
No?
Not the Jim Carrey thing.
You've not seen Moon?
Man, if you like Sam Rockwell,
watch Moon as soon as you possibly can.
Right, I'll do that today.
I'll watch that today.
You know, it's such a deal-breaker for choosing a film, right?
We're doing that, what we're going to watch, right?
Start scrolling.
The minute me and Natalie saw Sam Rockwell's name,
we're like, that one, do it.
Like, I'll watch anything with him in it.
Genuinely, Best of Enemies is on my list for the exact same fucking reason.
The second I saw him, I was like,
this is going to be a fucking great movie.
Do you know what the story is?
Joe Gilligan.
Joe Gilligan?
That's exactly what we said last night.
We're like, if he's in it...
Those are the two actors that I go,
anything you do is going to be fucking outstanding and superb
and I'll happily watch it.
Do you know anything about what the story's about
at Best of Enemies?
Do you want...
No, no idea.
Like, it's a true story.
It's happened.
It's like, it's played out.
So, like, a spoiler wouldn't really be a spoiler
other than, like...
Oh, no, still no, no.
Oh, wait, can I talk about it or not?
Hold on, can I talk about it?
Right, the guy...
I'm trying not to give too much away, right?
The guy is Klu Klux Klan president.
He's a villager in Durham in South Carolina, North Carolina,
something like that, right?
One of the southern states.
And he gets brought in to discuss the integration of schools
because there's a black school being burnt down
and the need to be educated.
So they're like,
we're going to have to put them in with the white kids.
So the whole thing is about like the community
deciding whether to integrate the kids.
It's set in the 70s, 71.
Sorry, I have a question.
Is this, what year is this?
Is this the Jim Crow era?
1971.
Fucking hell, that's me asking
when was the Jim Crow
I don't know
so basically
he ends up
on this board
where he's been
chosen because
of the noise
going forward
against it
right
but like
the more he like
chats to people
the more he like
he's immersed in it
the more he starts
like waking up
to the idea
that
that people too
right
and I'm like that is the fucking and it's
a true story as well right but that is the fucking hardest position in the world to become woke from
to become woke from being a clan leader right is it would be so much easier to just fucking
shut the door on the honest truth of the world and just go, I'm going to die on this hill.
You know, he has to literally put his life at risk
to open his eyes.
And I'm like...
Here he goes.
Jim Crow era, sorry, was from...
Well, post-Civil War era until 1968,
so there you go
that was just for
sorry
in that era I think most of the things were integrated
at that point I think schools were one of the
the last things left
from integration
but fuck me
what a journey he has to go on psychologically
from his stance and his world view
to like realising that his world view
is wrong, like inherently
wrong and like
and fucking Sam
Rockwell absolutely
crushes the role of transition
Do you know another
really really fucking good Sam Rockwell
movie that you'll forget that Sam Rockwell's in it?
Not Mr. Right.
Well, Mr. Right's exceptional.
Mr. Right, that is your fucking conclusion of rom-com.
One of my favourite lines in the entire fucking history of movies
is Mr. Right, and this isn't much of his work.
Mr. Right, played by Sam Rockwell
he's just like the world's greatest fucking
assassin and he falls
in love with Anna
Kendrick, this is not spoiler
this is the little premise of the movie
and he sees Anna Kendrick for the first time
and obviously she's got no idea that he's
the greatest killer in the world
and he goes up to her and he's like
what can I do to get you to go on a date with me?
I'd love to go on a date with you.
And she was like, in two words,
tell me why I should go on a date with you.
And he goes, two words?
Two words?
Ugh.
Or else.
The other movie that he's fucking exceptional in,
which you wouldn't...
And he's a minor role in it
because nobody realised what a phenomenal actor he was back then.
Galaxy Quest.
Galaxy Quest.
I had no idea he was in that.
Is that the film
that we watched
with Mark Miller
Mark Miller
where you've done
the
you're talking about
the movie
before and after
yeah you're talking
about why you chose
this movie
and then you've done
a Q&A after the movie
at that little
indie cinema
in Glasgow
man
yeah
I know you
because you're like me
you fucking forget movies
after a period of time
go back and watch
Galaxy Quest
it is one of the
funnest movies
in the world
and it's one of the
Alan Rickman's
greatest fucking performances
oh yeah
it's so fucking fun
I can't even remember
the plot really
it would be about 2012
when I last watched that
then I won't tell you anything else.
Just, man, go let yourself...
But watch Moon first.
Moon is great.
I'm not talking about fucking...
I love that when you go back and watch something.
Because, you know, even when I watched it,
you said Alan Rickman's greatest role.
That was probably the first Alan Rickman movie I'd seen.
Like, I hadn't...
I only watched Harry Potter, like, in recent years, really.
So, like, I didn't even know it was Snape.
So, I think it's funny
when you go back
and watch
a film
and everybody
in it has since
become superstars
like I think
it was Black Hawk
Down I watched
and they're in
the helicopter
and when I first
watched that film
I didn't think
I knew anyone
in the helicopter
and I knew
I'm like
oh that's fucking
Jamie Lannister
that's fucking
every kind
it's Spurs from Trainsunt that's why it's always
it's like
if you watch
Band of Brothers
or The Pacific
you just go
holy shit
Rami Malek
oh my god
John Barthel
oh my fucking god
David Schwimmer
my mate
yeah yeah
always
get him in
alright
so I
spoke to one of my
other celebrity friends today I've had this call now me get him in alright alright so I I spoke to one of my other
celebrity friends today
I've had this call now
me
aye sure
bigger than the world
Carl Penn
aye speak to Carl
how you doing
Carl Penn
because he's
because he's in a quarantine
at the exact same time
he's gone into
so
Carl's filming in
eh
Canada
just now
filming a show,
and they're filming mid-fucking COVID,
so all the crew have all their gear on.
But one of them contracted...
A member of the crew contracted COVID,
so everyone just has to fucking go into isolation.
So we've just basically...
I mean, I mean he's
I think he's just
been tested
like we'll find out
soon
but we're literally
in at the same time
so
but he's done
fucking four of them
as well
so I was phoning him
today
I'm like
I'm like
what's
like what's the secret
to
quarantine
just like
just don't don't just whatever you do don't use just don't
don't
just
just whatever you do
don't use water
don't use water weights
whatever you do
just
avoid the water weights
he's just
just live through it
honestly
I reckon
like
I know
I've always got
high opinion of myself
I reckon I could
date jail time
I reckon
I reckon
I'd be alright
with just being like
boxed in for a bit
I could keep
I could keep
I could keep myself busy
oh no man
not in prison
you couldn't
like in this environment
you absolutely fucking couldn't
you've got an apartment
to yourself
or not even an apartment
but you've got a fucking
hotel room to yourself
I imagine you'd be
finding that
not in a
prison, it's nothing else man
have you read Papillon?
I haven't but I have read
that other one that you, Enchanted
the Enchanted
where he's in
solitary confinement and it's basically
like, it's just his
kind of internal interpretation
like because he like even when like he talks about these like gnomes or something that live in the
walls and the tap on the pipes or something like that right and like yeah he talks about them as
if they're real and they're really there but you're like but you're just like oh that's when
like the heating comes on and the pipes start to like noises so like anything that makes a noise or happens
outside that wall is built like this
imaginative world around what's
going on around him
almost like he's gone insane
but he hasn't acknowledged that he's gone insane
so he's just letting this world play out that he thinks he's built
Oh god I'm glad you reminded me of that
because I remember there was a period of time
where that was my favorite fucking book and i don't think i've read it so i think i just read
a bunch of books since then and one of those became my favorite book i really should go back
and give that what was the one you said papillon papillon based on it's a true story so it's this
fucking uh french guy who uh was like uh he did some fucking crime in France
in the
I don't know if it was the fucking 20s or 30s
but then was fucking deported to like some
overseas fucking prison which he
escaped from and then was caught
and then went to another higher security fucking
prison on a more horrible island
and then he fucking escaped that and then he
lived in the fucking Navajo desert for a while and then
was caught again and then but there's that and then he lived in the fucking Navajo desert for a while and then was caught again
but there's one part, it's a
phenomenal book, it's so
Are you sure that's Papillon or not Michael Schofield?
I mean
probably Prison Break was at least
very loosely based on fucking Papillon
but there's one bit where he's
where he's like, he talks about all the prisons and how
fucking shit they all are.
But like, it's always like,
oh, you know, I knew I'd get in this one.
I knew I'd, you know, this is what the fun,
even though we were all miserable,
these were the fun bits of this.
He's put in solitary confinement
for two fucking years.
Like literally, like nothing, no light.
No books, no light.
You're just,
your consciousness exists in space, really. nothing, no light. No books, no light. Your consciousness
exists in space, really.
So for
the first
six months, he nails it,
right? Because he knows that he's put them
in solitary confinement.
They put him in solitary confinement to fucking
break him. So he's just like, I'm not going to
be fucking broken. So he walks
constantly. He knows the exact length of his halt. It's selling. He walks back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. him so he's just like i'm not going to be fucking broken so he walks constantly he walks but he
knows the exact length of his hall uh it's selling he walks back and forth back and forth back and
forth so he's walking 15 miles a day he's doing press-ups he's doing fucking pull-ups he's also
got some guy who you know he's not been thrown in solitary for fair reasons so one of the fucking
guards is dropping him off in like his shitty meager food bucket they're dropping him tiny
little bits of extra food rations, it's like an extra coconut
right, and even though it doesn't seem like much
that extra fucking coconut, the fact that somebody
out there is looking out for him
it's enough for him to fucking defy the
prison system, be like you know what, I'm gonna be
I'm gonna fucking beat this, and then
they find the guy that's been dropping
off these coconuts, and then for another
18 months, he's just locked in
and it's the only part
of the fucking book
where the chapter
is
it just
he just goes
there's not much
I can say
other than
there's
there's
there's nothing
as awful as it
like I've been in
every fucking prison in the world
I've been whipped
I've been fucking beaten
but like those 18 months
I can't even bear
to talk about them
just because it's
you lose
your fucking mind oh man I I think it's I think't even bear to talk about them just because it's you lose your fucking mind
oh man
aye
I think it's
I think it's fair to say
with my Xbox
and my Irish neighbours
similar situation
you draw parallels
you draw parallels
to Pat Me On
I do I really
aye
aye
well
Daniel
I'm speaking on behalf
of everyone here
I think you're very brave
thanks man Daniel, I'm speaking on behalf of everyone here. I think you're very brave.
Thanks, man.
So how do you think you're going to cope with the next nine days?
Going to be all right?
Well, so here's... I'm not...
It's genuinely been all right so far
because the really nice thing about it is
I've got the fucking balcony and that is a genuine game changer.
Like, being able to get fresh air,
being able to have, like, a social, like, drink
with Mick and Mike,
and, like, have a bit of normalcy.
Like, I phone Cara when I wake up.
She phones me when I wake up.
Nick Cody regularly fucking checks in on me.
I spoke to Milo last night.
Fucking, like, people I've not spoken
to in a while, I'm just like
I've said to a bunch of folks, mate just call me
I'm more than happy to have fucking phone conversations
at this point, so it's really
it's nice to sort of break up the day with
even if it's just a 20 minute half an hour conversation
with, you know, which I wouldn't
normally do in the UK, so sometimes
it feels a bit more
yeah, you get to touch base with people
that's nice yeah because do you miss batter and colin i think i'm like um
cara sent me the videos of her doing it Does she set up the phone and balance it on, like, you know, just put it on the next, so you kind of see it,
just next to the projector or something like that. Right, right.
And then he's just sat there.
And she kisses him out of the room.
She's like, oh, Colin, dinner's ready.
And then he comes out and fucking mallets her to the head.
Right.
I just put, like, a fiver on, like, a fishing rod.
And just put it over the stairs and just reels him in with a fiver
and just fucking lumps him.
It just reels him in with a five-pack and just fucking lumps him.
That was a good thought.
Next question.
Everyone I've spoken to who's done quarantine
always says that there's a different day
that's the hardest, right?
So Tom Ballard said day 10's the hardest
because you've been in there fucking 10 days
and there's still 4 days left
and that's difficult whereas
Cal was like day 5 is the
hardest because you've done fucking 5
days and there's still 9 to go
and then
Mick and Mike were like
everything after day 7 is a piece of piss
because it's a countdown
you've broke the back of it
yeah I think that was a workout.
If you're over halfway,
then it seems to be every single station you do,
you're closer towards the finish line
rather than further away from the start.
The second you get beyond halfway,
you know you're capable of doing that distance
of wherever it is
because you've literally done it. So it's feasible. get beyond halfway you know you're capable of doing that distance or whatever it is because
you've literally done it so it's feasible so i'm not i'm i'm not sure when it's gonna get difficult
i'm fucking sure it will uh at some point but for the time being man it's just like it's so normal
here like on the but like literally it's hard to be worried because if the motivation if i'm ever
like oh my god why am I doing this
go out in the balcony
and just look at people
living their life
just see their normal life
yeah that's gotta be like
yeah wait for the drop
like you're just fucking
the build up
it's like
the light at the end
of the tunnel
is glaring
yeah
and it's not like
the light of the tunnel
in the UK where it's like oh pubs might be
open in fucking May at some point
like parts of Australia have now
opened up to a hundred percent
capacity in theatres
nice
are your gigs going to be full capacity?
are you trying to slam me here?
just because I saw a couple of them were sold out there and I was like, it must be 50%. What, like that time that I sold out the palladium twice in a day?
Half full, I want it half full.
Because it was half full.
Right.
Right.
I've got a couple of your dad jokes. alright right
right
I've got a couple
of your dad jokes
I fucking
you know what
I nearly fucked it
this morning
I've only got four
because I
clocks went forward
and I
I've got to do
a bad thing
but they've got to
stop that man
I haven't
I haven't
they've got to stop that
they've got to stop
putting the clock forward
look it's not fucking
it's not the
1600s we're not Alfomas it's not like we've got to stop that they've got to stop putting the clock forward look it's not fucking it's not the 1600s
we're not Alf Farmer's
it's not like
we've got electricity
if we need light
look just meet halfway
change the half
and we have one year
and then just go out
and read quits
just fucking bin it
like even
farmers
farmers are even like
fucking who gives a shit
we'll work it out
it makes no sense
so anyway
your dad sucks his toes
before he bites his toenails
because it makes them softer
it takes for a while I reckon
feasibly
that's a good
I want to know that
he doesn't want to watch a movie
he gets one episode of Last Chance
you win
he does all those at once.
All ten.
Your dad had plastic surgery to make his belly button outie.
Aye, aye, it got my mum.
It was their idea.
Your dad doesn't believe in New Zealand.
Well, he doesn't believe it exists, so he just doesn't believe he exists or he just doesn't believe
like he's got no hope for them
both
both
like whatever people like
have you seen what
Jekinda
Garden
Harden
she's done
she's not real
it's fucking
it's CGI
by those libtards
trying to think of this
perfect socialist state
somewhere else
doesn't exist
utopian nonsense
drivel
your dad has denim curtains
that zip up in the middle
in his room
he's got a button at the top
and I've got pockets
and when he zips it in the morning
he pretends he's got a
suck on cock
doesn't pretend he does that's what light is When he's upset in the morning, he pretends he's got a suck-on cock.
Doesn't pretend, he does. That's what light is.
Your dad skateboards and crocs and he invented a trick called the kick flip-flop.
Your dad motorboated your gran every time he breastfed.
Your dad brings a sock puppet to marriage counselling to do impressions of your mum for the therapist.
Your dad snores when he's awake.
Only when you're talking.
Your dad calls moths
Tory butterflies
that's great
you know
you know
them jelly aliens
that you put
back to back
and there was a room
I liked
if you put them
back to back
they'd have a baby
that room I started
because it worked
once in the 60s
and that's your dad
the baby That room I started because it worked once in the 60s and that's your dad. The baby.
That's a wrap.
