Yo, yo, yo, welcome back to Sloss and Humphreys on the Road with me, Kai Humphreys, and he, Daniel Sloss.
Classic Muggins and Cream episode for you here.
We'll have a good old catch-up straight after Newcastle beat Liverpool 1-1.
I was on my way to being drunk. I was a little bit giddy, I'll give you that.
Daniel was on good form. We had a nice night.
We talked about comedy because he's back doing gigs and we talked about tricky audiences.
Talked a little
bit talk a little bit of shop remember we used to be comedians um also talking about how i've been
getting back into my pot i've been smoking a little bit of the wacky backy and some of the
some of the mistakes i've made i've made while i've been high which is fun um we're talking about
tom walker raiding me on twitch with 300 people while i was grieving look we're talking about Tom Walker Raiding me on Twitch with 300 people While I was grieving Look we're talking about a lot of things
Go out there and enjoy it
Because this is your Junglers the clit inside your head that makes you laugh? Woo-hoo! Ha-ha-ha! They said it can't be done. Are we in the same seats?
That's hack.
Oh, muggles.
Accidental rim job in the park.
Kiss, kiss, kiss.
Or am I just being cynical?
Just muggled it up
on fucking Mugglepedia.
Where have you been since 9-11?
All right, mate.
And then we'll also...
Oh, no, no, we'll do a clap as well,
just in case that makes it easier
for you to hit it.
Aye. I think we're synchronised. I'm just in case that makes it easy for you to edit aye i think we're synchronized i'm just gonna leave all that in all right that's fair like let let let them peek behind the curtain which they've never had the
chance to do before normally it's such a streamlined thing that i think that might
be like a nice little i just bonus it's like when you see the outtakes for south park and you're
like oh i guess they're just regular people I just like that
I just like that he has to bleed as well right off the top
you know just a little bit of blood
trickling down the neck under the headphones
nice, nice start
how has the last
ten minutes of your life been?
mate I need a cig
I don't smoke
I want a cigarette
I'm a little bit tipsy as well I haven't smoke I want a cigarette I'm fucking
I'm a little bit tipsy as well
I haven't watched
I had
so just to update people
I
Newcastle have literally
just finished playing
Liverpool
that's why I
like the podcast
the best team in the fucking world
we've just been
fucking
fucking
fucking
fucking
Gerrard
I want to look like Gerard.
He's got to look.
I mean, they must, like, look,
they must have to fuck each other
because there's no way anyone outside of that
is fucking that accent.
That's the only reason Merseyside still exists.
If you haven't got a Scouse accent,
you're not going out with a Scouse on it.
You're not putting yourself through that
for no fucking reason. Like, you're
mate for a bit.
Right? You're mate
for a bit. You know what?
Just got a pretty fierce and nice legs.
I'll carry on that.
But you know, once you get used to it.
You're not.
You're not. I can't put a baby in that
because I can't hold something that calls me
daddy or whatever.
To death till I part.
Me fucking da.
Me fucking da.
Oh, I can't.
I don't think I love you.
I want to suck your dick.
I like blowjobs, but you've just ruined it.
I want to suck your dick.
Get your cock out.
Six McChicken nuggets in a crunchy McFlurry. it anyway I've had a couple of drinks we beat Liverpool we didn't beat them
we won
1-1
we won 1-1
1-1
we won 1 it was 1-1. 1. We won 1.
It was 1-0 to Liverpool.
Our goalkeeper.
For the longest time.
And then we won 1-1.
It's a Pete Holmes sketch.
It's a fucking real,
it's a real life Pete Holmes sketch.
It was 1-1 for the longest time
and then we won 1-1.
We won 1-1. Nothing to do with Pete Holmes' bet. It just 1-1 for the longest time and then we won 1-1.
Nothing to do with Pete Holmes' bid.
Just facts.
So, Daniel, I'll tell you what happened.
I feel like we've been talking about football more and more on the podcast.
People that listen to this podcast are
not interested in football.
But look, Bill Baird...
I think about six of them are.
Bill Baird talks about think about six of them are. Bill Baird does it. Bill Baird talks about NFL.
Aye.
So, we scored and equalised on the 93rd minute, Daniel.
And I jumped around like fucking mad, right?
Is Colin at yours?
Yeah, hi.
In the scotomy.
How do you get...
Mate, how do you get him out of your house?
Now that he's in...
Well, what you do is...
Now that he's in, that he's in I do that
well welcome to Colin Tag
he's yours now motherfucker
I'm going to have to edit out so much
ambient noise from this fucking podcast
because I can hear him scuttling through the vents
I didn't even know I had vents
how did he take it
when you were just like oh by the way I'm just going to do a podcast
which you've been on by the way and it's with your mate
but just
stay in that other room please
literally invited him
and went
mate I just need a breather
the thing is
he could have also
just been on this podcast
I know but
you could have just been
oh what we'll just put a
share a pair of
fucking headphones
they're not one
yeah each headphones
I'd had to put them in
like that
oh do you not have speakers aye but then me mic would pick it up oh yeah Daniel technical stuff a pair of fucking headphones. They're not one, yeah, each headphones. I'd have to put them in like that. Oh,
do you not have speakers?
Aye,
but then we make
would pick it up.
Oh,
Daniel,
technical stuff,
isn't it?
Technical stuff.
You've not got a wee
fucking,
a wee aux splitter.
That would work,
aye.
But however,
I wouldn't give us excuses
to get them on.
I'll take another one with him.
I'll take another one with him
where I just gaslight him
for an hour.
How about that?
I'll just psychologically
abuse him for an hour. Aye, well, I mean, I'd like to one with him where I just gaslight him for an hour. How about that? I'll just psychologically abuse him for an hour.
I will.
I mean, I'd like to listen to it.
You might even sign up to Patreon for that one.
You haven't been able to listen to the Patreon episodes.
I realised when I was on with Elliot, I said,
Danny wouldn't even be able to listen to this.
He hasn't asked us for the password.
He's not getting anything.
He hasn't listened to one I've done with Mark.
Also, I'm not paying
for me on fucking
Patreon
you can just
log in
oh but
I mean I guess
I could but
you know
yeah maybe
but look
last time
last time
you and Elliot
did a fucking
podcast
fucking
Sarah Pascal
wrote a book
about you
and now you
should have
heard him
you should have heard him going Mate, you should have heard him
going on about her as well. He just wouldn't shut up.
I had to fucking tack him down.
I had to rein him in, mate.
I was like, fuck, mate, we're kind of playing
the whole audio, like...
I was like, we're kind of doing that.
Could you stop having a little side podcast
which is just you
railing on to it back.
Because look,
I can fade ignorance
because I've generally
not listened to any of the podcasts
that you and Elliot have done.
Like I listened to,
I know about the conversation you had
because you all fucking told me about it.
Daniel, Daniel, Daniel.
I'm just going to keep going.
Listen, I called her a whore.
And I didn't edit it out.
I just went, aye.
I listened to one where you and Bart,
it was lovely.
What a nice, just silly podcast.
What did you call pigs?
Police Inspector Gadget called the pigs something like that.
I was like, oh, this is fun.
This is the old, this is the vibe.
I get it.
I just run the podcast into the ground
made and so you just go fucking incel cocks in a fucking basement gamer fucking gay these
fucking broads i'll tell you another thing they're trying to get his fucking cards out
stop it but uh but on the plus plus side the listeners have got a drinking game
where they have a shot every time Elliot says
you know what I mean
and they don't remember anything after 15 minutes
nobody ever remembers what was said after that
so Cullen's over
to get back to the point
Callum Wilson scored
an equaliser
right
which got
Daniel
it got disallowed
for fucking
it got disallowed
because it's Liverpool
and it goes against
the narrative
the cunt fucking
got pushed
he was running with the ball
through on goal right
takes a shot
which hits the keeper
but in the meantime
he gets pushed
by Trent Alexander-Arnold
in the back
right
and which pushes him forward
onto the ball
which repels off his arm
which is against his chest
like that right
he just tucks his arms in
gets pushed into the ball
the ball hits his arm
and then
it didn't go in off his arm
he still finished it right
it got disallowed for handball
he couldn't do anything
but handball
and he got fucking manhandled
by a Liverpool player
got disallowed
I was fucking
joyous
screaming
Newcastle are safe
from relegation
we're a point closer
and all that
right the fucking
mental health hinges
on the tune at the minute
which is bad news
bad news
aye
that's not a club
you wanted to fucking rest on
almost as bad as being
an Arsenal fan
but the opposite is
Arsenal fans deserve
every bad thing
that happens
and their jeopardy
is like
their jeopardy is like
well might finish 9th
and not get Europe
my jeopardy is like
we're not going to be
on match of the day
we're going to get relegated
so
so
I like
I've noticed
a huge difference
I was getting Natalie
I was like
I'm in such a better place
within myself now that recently it's like I've just had a I was like I'm in such a better place within myself now
that recently
I've just had a word with myself
I'm just putting
too much pressure on myself
to do things
when actually there's no
and I'm tired of it
and she was like
are you not sure
that's just because
you fucking beat Burnley
and West Brom
back to back
and you saw
a lot of different relegations
I was like
it's definitely that
thanks for identifying it
I give myself all the credit
so
goal scores
I go on fucking nuts
right
93rd minute
goal gets disallowed
I fucking
I'm ready to kill myself
and then fucking
Newcastle scored again
Joel Willock
with an Arsenal goal
old Joel Willock
and me and Cullen
both had a couple of quid
on Joel Willock
to score
20 to 1
because he'd come off the bench
oh nice
so so what are you and Cullen doing for the rest of the
evening then?
I'm just going to try and
get rid of him
I'm just going to drop loads of hints
Is he
staying at yours?
He's staying off
We're going to stay off for the UFC
before you know it, it's October
He's still here
what UFC's on tonight?
Usman and Masvidal
remember I told you
I was going to do it with a full audience
and then you went in Florida
and I went yep in Florida
yeah yeah yeah
it's that one it's the one with the crowd in
so man just
I'm watching it just see a crowd.
Oh, man.
To slightly change the subject, but speaking of crowds,
the show's been going great over here,
except for yesterday's later show in Sydney.
Now, can I just ask you,
I've not pre-prepared this with you, obviously,
but what would you say
is the fucking worst type of audience member in the world?
Oh, for me, it's one that is interacting,
but they're not being hostile,
so you can't really slam into them
because if someone's like addicted to you,
you're like, oh, a free pass, I can fucking take off on you.
But if somebody's just having a nice time and trying to be involved,
for me, that is the hardest one to defuse because you can't be mean.
Yeah, yeah.
I absolutely agree with you.
Curiosity, what's the second worst type of person to have in a comedy audience?
Right, give us a second to mull over on this,
but let us tell you the best rebuttal I've heard
for the previous one that I've just mentioned.
Somebody, I think it was Nick Revel,
sent an audience member that was like that.
You're having a good time,
but you're just enjoying yourself a bit too much
to the detriment of everybody else.
It's a little bit like having a shit in a pool for you.
Hi, that's great.
Everybody else have to get out.
for you hi that's great
everybody else
have to get out
and I think
I think that
I don't think
that was stuck
because I've only
ever heard it
in that incident
so every time
I've been in that
position
I've queued it up
but then I've been
like that's not yours
you can't use it
yeah that's definitely
it's definitely
it's just not that
fucking bad catalogue
the other worst
audience member would
perhaps be um oh perhaps somebody that's like laughing i tell you who gets these audience
members a lot daniel kitson gets his audience members along where they're laughing but not
just because they're enjoying themselves in there in the moment because they want everybody around
them to know that they're laughing and they're like looking around like ha ha ha like almost pointing at themselves in the face
ha ha ha ha i get it it's because you you do that ha ha and they're like they make their laughs like
attention seeking rather than just a natural yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah it's i'm enjoying
them more than you what i get all these jokes yeah I would agree with that I would also say
drunk audience
members are very
fucking bad
people that
we've still
spoken about
before
people that
whoop and
cheer and
just make
random fucking
noises are
terrible audience
members and
of course people
that talk to
each other
during a show
like after jokes
and discuss
I had all of
them all of
every last one
of those fuckers
in my show
last night in Sydney.
Oh, man.
Like, so fucking, Jean and
Eric are coming to the show, and
they're bringing like 20 of Eric's mates.
Like, they're basically their social group, right?
And I'm like, I'd love, like,
I want to meet these people.
I want to meet who your social circle is out here.
I want to meet the friends of my friends, because
you know, like, you know...
Was it them that were trouble?
No.
Because I've had that,
and that is fucking horrendous
when your friends bring friends in.
Oh, really?
I had that in a gig in Hull
where I invited a friend.
She came with her friends
and just ruined it for Carl Hutchinson.
And it was
the friends of my friend, that fucking
that spoiler.
Last time I saw
that person. Never saw that person
again.
Fortunately, wasn't the, like all of
Eric's friends and Gene's friends were
absolutely fucking sound, but just man,
from start to fucking finish,
right, they were just drunk it
shows me it started 9 15 but because it's sydney and nobody arrives on time for fucking anything
because they're all australian and they're all just like oh things will start whenever we turn
up because we're the most spoiled nation on the fucking planet um show starts about fucking
quarter two and they're just fucking steaming drunk. And one guy just keeps fucking whistling.
Some girl just comments at the end of every single fucking joke.
And now, there's many ways to deal with something like that.
You can try and be funny, but my problem with people that heckle,
if you answer a heckle with a funny response,
that will encourage further idiots.
They're like, oh, I'm going to help the show.
Like, I said something something and then he said something
and then he made it funny
and it was like
we played a game
of comedy and tennis
and I helped him
I'm a big fuck
da da da
attention seekers
get attention
in other attention seekers
in the audience
see it as a
route that you can take
yep
and
and what that can
lead you down to
is it can lead you
down the path
that fucking Frankie
and Kevin
and Jimmy Carr
often find themselves down where they get heckled
so much and the reason they get heckled so much
isn't because they're bad at comedy it's because they're
great at put downs and people come there
fucking expecting it so I go for the
opposite tactic if you fucking heckle
me I will stop the fucking
show and stare at you
right and I'll just show you what the difference
is between when I talk
and when you talk and let's show you what the difference is between when I talk and when you talk
and let's really see what the difference between
atmosphere is, I'll give you all the attention
you want, it's all on you
shut the fuck up, man that works
99.99%
of the times, except in
fucking Sydney sometimes
just let a heavy silence descend on them
oh man
it's like a blanket, It's like a fire blanket.
It's just like the whole fucking atmosphere of the room.
Because you know you can get the atmosphere back.
So you let the atmosphere stink for a bit
just to let them know that that was them.
Yeah, that was you.
You did that.
You farted in this fucking elevator, cunt.
That was you.
Like, never forget I am the fucking lifeguard here.
And without it, you'd all be drowning.
Like, that's... And, man, this woman keeps fucking whistling.
Some guy is so drunk that he thinks he's offended.
He's just, like, booing, but not even looking.
He's just booing.
And I am.
And, again, like, these are just little bits.
So it's because the room's so big.
Like, not everyone in the audience is hearing it.
But I'm hearing fucking everything.
So why am I just fucking seething on
stage like there's a fucking white hot rage in my fucking belly as i'm just even though 99 of the
audience are fucking enjoying and being great i'm just like i hope every single fucking train
crashes on the way home like ever i to me sincerely i think one of the rudest things you can do in the fucking world is go to a public performance of any kind,
whether it's theatre, whether it's music, whether it's fucking cinema, whatever,
and fucking ruin it for other people.
I think it's the most selfish thing in the entire...
It's so narcissistic, it's so self-involved,
it's so devoid of fucking empathy and logic
to sit in a room full of other people
and just not understand
that they all paid the same amount of money as you
that they're all there to see the one show
and you're just so stupid
you don't understand that your voice fucking carries
and you should just shut the fuck
and there was about fucking 50 or 60 of them
in the fucking show last night
so Gene Haft was like do you want to come meet me and Eric's friends
and I'm like I need to drink three whiskeys before I do.
Because if I fucking,
if I walk out the front of this fucking theatre,
I'm going to start punching my own fans in the face.
Yeah, because you hate the audience
and they're part of the audience also.
So like, even though you don't know them,
like you've got to go and mingle with the audience.
That's how it feels.
Aye.
And again, I didn't hate the audience.
Well, no, I did hit the audience i
shouldn't have hit the audience because again 99 and when i was speaking to eric's friends they
were like look none of us heard the hecklers like we didn't know what was going on like
all that thing we're like oh you handled it well you handled it well and you go i don't care how
like it felt shite hey did i ever tell you about when i was in bristol and there was people just
chatting on the balcony now i don't know if you ever played Bristol Jonglers.
Probably not.
I think you skipped that part of your career.
Why?
The body of the audience is in this kind of dance.
I just got my older brother to complete that level for me.
That's what it's like.
Just came back to the fucking Xbox,
being like, could you do this one, please?
You skipped the early levels, the early stages.
These are important, they're a vital part of learning.
Like, honestly,
that gig that you played
last night would have been a fucking piece of
piss if you'd cut your teeth in junglers.
I mean, you're not wrong.
You're not wrong.
You're like, fucking crying
of a battle-hardened
fucking junglers act act, right?
So, I had it where there was people in the balcony, like, trying to talk over us.
You know, like, there's chatting.
There's chatting.
Like, some people are trying to chat under the noise, and you can still hear the whispering
and the, like, the think they're not being heard.
These cunts were actually trying to drown us out when they were talking right but they're on a balcony
but the balcony isn't way back the balcony comes over the dance floor it's like the second floor
is so it's just a it's just a front row of balcony there's not much depth to it right
the people on the floor like elliot not much depth the people on the dance floor
didn't know there was a balcony
they didn't even know it was there
they just saw ceiling lights me
and I started dealing with someone on the balcony
so it's just like you
like Simba when he's talking to his dad
honestly
the thought I was having a fucking moment like Honestly, the thought I was having a fucking moment of, like, an enlightenment.
Like, the thought I was having a religious experience.
It looked like I was talking to the heavens.
But, like, a religious experience where you're calling God a cunt and his wife a whore.
Aye, it was.
And luckily, I caught on that that's what had happened
because I realised everyone on the ground floor
who was enjoying the gig, like, it was Ghana, right?
I had it in my hand apart from the fucking distraction upstairs.
I tried to let it out of Ghana as long as I could, dealt with it.
Everyone went, we had as fuck, and I clicked on.
Like, I managed to point out, like,
yous don't know there's a balcony there to here.
I managed to get my salute of it.
But for fucking, like, for about a minute I sat
in that fear like why are they
pulling back
I'm doing alright
so you had a rough one
no it wasn't rough man
the gig was like look by any fucking
by anyone else's standards like it's a
fucking good gig and by my standards it was
a fucking good gig but it's just it's the difference between what your audience experiences and what you standards, it's a fucking good gig. And by my standards, it was a fucking good gig. But it's the difference between what your audience experiences
and what you experience.
It's that bit of, I know they fucking enjoyed it,
and I know any time I fucking put the fucking people down...
I mean, there was one point where I got angry,
and it was the second show, so I was several whiskeys in.
So you know when I sometimes get drunk and somebody annoys me i just say something horrifically arrogant because it's like from
dump some recess of my brain i'm like fuck it this belongs in the world now the the one i said yes
like just some guy because so many of the routines in this year's show like are me acting bits out
like it's literally like it's uh it's just me doing little fucking skits i enjoy performing
on stage like it's a good way of keeping routines fresh
and there's sometimes
when the mic's in the stand
and I'm just acting shit out
which is a prime time
for fucking cunts
to yell out
pregnant
pregnant pauses
yeah
but thankfully
because 99.9%
of my audience
is so fucking sound
it's absolutely fine
but of course
because it's fucking
9.45
and it's in Sydney
and people in Sydney
and people in Australia in general can't handle their fucking booze and they think they can but they absolutely
cannot handle the fucking drink um that he's he's just at one point he just yells out something
fucking unfunny so again i do the thing and i fucking i stop and i go i'll just let you feel
like what it's like when you talk and when i've talked, that gets a fucking laugh and I just
fucking stare at him like a fucking
teacher when somebody's disrupting the class
like I'll just stare
fold my arms, like it's your own time
you're wasting
and then
but I'm just
and I can still hear other people around me
fucking talking and I just, I mean I directed
it this cut but it was such a broad
insight, I was like never forget
you pay to look this way
and I get paid to look
that way
and that is something I never
say on stage, that's something I only ever
say to other comics whenever they've had a bad
gig, it's like my way of feeling to other comics
hey, if you had a bad gig, never forget
what the whole thing is about, they pay to look this this way we get paid to look that way don't ever
let them fucking get you down and i was drunk i was confident but it takes everybody else with
it it takes the rest of the suicide bomb you give the whole class detention oh no i punished it oh
man and none of them took it well they were like
what
and I was like
oh no
so it was like
immediately
it's like a really
nice routine
I'm like
so another thing
that I think
you had actually
fucking
play your socks off
to kind of justify
that they appeared
to look that way
oh yeah
like yeah yeah
and then
it then became
like a word of just me being like,
now I've got to make this worth the money because
I'm so buying a monologue.
I gave my outer monologue.
Do you remember that fucking time I battle-rapped
Nick Cody and I absolutely beat him until
the final verse when I just started talking about
how much cash I had?
Oh, yeah. I do remember that.
It was so amazing. I was like, that! I do remember that. It was so
interesting. I was like, that's what actual rappers do.
When I've got loads of cars,
bitches sucking my dick and everyone's like,
whoa. You're meant to put
the other guy down, not pick yourself up.
Aye, aye.
I can't even remember the length, but
it was literally something.
I run the fucking show I am, the fucking festival.
It was just like, oh boy.
I'm not saying Cody couldn't have won
or beat me without that verse.
I'm just saying, it would have been
much closer had I not.
Like, it wouldn't have been fucking unanimous.
Absolute own goal.
Oh, just self-immolation
for no fucking
reason. Like, as if, if like trying to say something to fucking
like like from the most narcissistic part of my brain that bit that's wounded that bit that that's
that sad pride that's not wounded because somebody's heckled me that part of me that's
wounded because somebody would dare speak when i'm talking that That part, that really evil, arrogant part, his voice
came to my mouth and he should
never be allowed this microphone.
I've got to fucking push him
all the way down. That's the
worst part of me, man. He's just
for in here when I'm angry. He's not for
outside. That's my real
indoor voice. That's my
in-head voice. But it's
important in a head voice.
I always preach that you should be your own hype man.
Get yourself hype.
Big yourself up.
Like, fancy yourself.
Love yourself.
Like, it's always like people tell you to love yourself until you do.
But the minute you love yourself, you're arrogant and big-headed.
And you're a prick, right?
But never lose sight of it.
You should love yourself. But sometimes, like, if you're in a position
where you're on stage,
elevated,
amplified,
fucking everyone's facing you,
you're facing out.
If you love yourself
in that position,
you do look like a dick.
You still,
you can't,
you can't still love yourself,
but just keep it
in your back pocket.
Aye, aye.
Just, yeah,
keep it internal.
Don't fucking audibly yell at the people
and i mean like it wasn't a fucking bad gig it was just again you it's i'm literally talking
about the difference between fucking perspectives like you know when an audience has enjoyed a gig
and you fucking hated it like that happens not not often but it is it's not uncommon sometimes yeah sometimes you
have to really work for it but they don't know you've had to really work for it they've just
had a good time and they've seen you on stage but they didn't realize that you've been putting out
fires in your head you've been closing pauses that are normally longer for effect but you've
been closing them because you know that dickhead in the front's gonna jump in if he's given half
a chance so you'll close them gaps. So you're doing all this mental
trigonometry, like the fucking equations are
running through your head while you're trying to speak because
you're dealing with potential threats
in the audience. And then you finish
and you're like, I fucking hated that. But the
audience would not have known you were having a
good time. But that's because you dealt with it well.
So they say
there you go, I really enjoyed it.
Look, here's the point
leads don't even know
their shit to gig into
because you perform
so well there
they're like
oh he must have loved it
I always have to
work a lot harder here
than I do in Glasgow
alright
way harder
no I'm not
I'm not saying
Glasgow's better for that
I'm just saying
I prefer them for that
you might be correct
Glasgow are such
a good fucking audience for stand-up
because any time they do seem to interject,
it seems to be well-timed.
Aye.
They seem to be able to...
Don't tell them that.
Nah, in case they get ideas above the station.
Which I should point out is very uncommon in Glasgow.
Because I've always found Glasgow audiences
energetic but
not
they don't cost me energy.
They have a lot of energy but they don't cost me
energy.
But the fucking downside to Glasgow
is, like, look, if Glasgow love you,
they fucking love you. But if
Glasgow fucking hates you,
there's very little like it
anywhere else in the world. You know what as well?
I'd hate to have a southern English
accent gigging in that city, man.
I'd hate to
come in with a London
accent or even just
sounding like I'm from money or
something.
Hello Glasgow, my name is Tom Horton and I'm from
the Tower of London.
You're going to have to drop an
absolute fucking banger in this first
45 seconds, mate, or we're gone.
That's the thing.
I feel like carrying a Geordie accent, if I go into Scotland, if I go into Wales, if I that's the thing I feel like carrying a Geordie accent
if I go into Scotland
if I go into Wales
if I go into Ireland
I feel like
all these places
that like
might hate the English
otherwise
they'll give us
my first five minutes
for free
right
that's
by the way
you understand
that's the Scottish accent
for the rest of the world
right
aye
aye that's
the idea
I always find it funny like with their scotland and canada
it's like if somebody mentioned that i was scottish i'd be like oh i'm not actually scottish
um i'm actually english right if that happened to someone from the usa i'm not actually canadian
i'm from i'm from america right but if it happens to that way around someone accused you of being
english accused a canadian of being american like whoa whoa you that way around, someone accused you of being English, accused a Canadian of being American,
like, whoa, whoa, you thought that of me?
You thought I was that guy?
The fuck?
Yeah, like I'm genuinely angry at you
because you clearly see me through some shitty tinted glasses.
Yeah.
It's actually remarkable you were nice to us.
You thought of photos from there
so is
I mean I'm not to sound
too fucking spoiled to you but I'm obviously
out of the loop
with what's happening in the UK
so Scotland is opening up soon
and from what I hear by the sounds of things
because we're like 65%
vaccinated we should be
out of full lockdown by July.
Three UK deaths the other day, which is pretty...
Wait, hold on, hold on.
No, no, no, again.
And I will say this,
now that we're near the end of this fucking thing,
I will say the same thing I said at the fucking start of this, right?
When they were printing the number of deaths,
they absolutely should have put the ages in the bracket just so you could be like let's find out how much of an
emergency this actually is and i'm not saying i'm not saying an 85 year old dying is a good thing
but i'm just saying anything could have got way worse than a bunch of food poisoning would have
better than a bunch of 30 year olds dying or a bunch of 20 year olds a bunch of 30-year-olds dying or a bunch of 20-year-olds or a bunch of 12-year-olds.
Like, nobody deserves to die,
but it is the least sad when pensioners die. Like, they're the best people in the world to die
because they've had the most life.
In the same way that the fattest people,
it's fine if they're hungry for a bit.
It's just
I'm not saying they don't deserve to be fed
I'm just saying let's feed them fucking last
if like there's a lot of stuff
that could just kill you in general
then
the Covid getting is not
a massive threat to the rest of
this is a terrible opinion to have
but like I said,
if food poisoning or a nosebleed
could be your cause of death,
then you're vulnerable.
We should protect you.
We don't need to do blanket rules
on the whole of society.
We need to protect you guys.
But there was a bit of solidarity
in that war locked down together though
even though we
personally may not
have been a threat
that was kind of
that was kind of
nice to have like
medical communism
where we all
medical communism
in the sense where
we didn't fucking
pay them
like honestly
like the
here's and I hate
look for the English
fans in the podcast
like I obviously
love you and there's
I love many parts of England
I love
performing in many parts of England
I like many things about it
but Jesus fucking Christ
you are as dumb
as the Americans now
like Boris Johnson
is going to win
a fucking landslide
so many bootleggers
so many bootleggers
it's all
just a fucking
like Boris Johnson
stared down the lens
of a fucking camera
and I've said this
a thousand million times
and he said
if 20,000 people die
it's an abject failure
and 150,000 people
have died
and fucking
65% of England
is like
he's the best
he's the best
to ever do it
like I honestly
there's nothing
he could have done
do you like
do you like how
how they call it
the NHS
track and trace but they call it the NHS track and trace,
but they call it the government rollout of the vaccine?
When it was the fucking complete other way around.
It was the fucking government track and trace
and the NHS rollout of the vaccine.
Fucking, that wasn't an accent.
The fucking treacherous cunts.
It's not even good lies
and there's just
people are holding a fucking apple
under the nose of English people
and just feeding them shit and they're like
absolutely what a lovely
apple mousse this is
it's very smooth there's some lumps in it
but I understand that
apple mousse sounds disgusting
apple mousse I'm just enjoying that moose sounds disgusting. Apple moose.
I'm just enjoying that.
English people
probably would enjoy apple moose.
It sounds like a very English dish.
I just, I find
it so remarkable. Anyway, like, we're coming out
of fucking lockdown, hopefully soon,
and it's all thanks to Boris Johnson
and the brave Tories
that did everything right since the fucking get-go.
God save our gracious Queen
and our fucking paedophile son.
Thank you, Boris.
Thank you, Boris, so much.
Thank you, my giant opportunity.
Clap for Boris.
Clap for the NHS, even though they only got a 1%
pay rise. this is absolutely justice
I'll believe everything I believe in a fucking
Murdoch tabloid
that being said
we're getting out of lockdown soon
and I do feel
like
because I'm in Australia when I come back things are just
going to be open again
I feel like I skipped like the exams
in fourth year because my parents took me
to Disneyland and I'm just like,
sorry, God, I'd love to...
Daniel, do you feel like you skipped
Jonglers?
I feel like I skipped Jonglers.
I feel like I skipped Jonglers.
That is your life.
Your life is just skipping Jonglers
and then complaining about hardship.
No, no, no, Guy.
This is my junglers.
Ah.
Can we tell the end joke?
Do we use names?
You tell the story and you decide.
Right, so
Barry Dodds got a
You know what?
If Dan Nightingale tells this story
I'm snitching on everybody.
And I think he told the story of how Barry Dodds got
Well, you can snitch on Dan Nightingale
because we are doing the fucking Have A Word podcast.
Should we bring it up on that podcast as well?
Yeah, we're doing it in June.
We're doing a crossover.
We're doing a fucking crossover.
It's like when New Girl
was on Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
You guys know each other.
That's weird.
Because Adam Rowan was group chatting
and fucking, what do you fancy a crossover
about?
It's like Superman looking up and seeing the bat signal in the sky.
I'd just be like, I'm getting a shag.
Yes.
Oh my God, superhero Tinder's great.
So I podcast Tinder.
I was swiped correct on Adam Rowe.
So Dan Nightingale of Have A Word podcast.
I think it was Barry Dodds that was in the car of another comedian.
And the comedian was driving to the gig in Wales, which was his gig.
He's called Silky.
Just say the name.
I was kind of skit-rounded.
This is how I received the story.
Right, so just to confirm, this is Kai's lawyer here.
So this is how Dan Nightingale told Kai the story.
So any complaints about the story can be brought up with Dan Nightingale.
Also, I think I've remembered it wrong because I think it was Barry Dodds in the story.
But Barry Dodds is getting the lift
right
he waits in the car
right
and they take the long route
scenic route
which is nice
you're cutting through Wales
right
you get to see some scenery
pulls over the car
and I'm just popping in
for five minutes
and he thinks the driver
Silky
is going for a piss
he thinks Silky's going for a piss
and he sits in the car waiting
and the guy doesn't come back for a piss, right?
So he goes out looking for him.
He's like, where the fuck's this guy gone?
He's sat on a rock playing his guitar.
He's got his acoustic guitar.
He's just strumming his guitar on the rock.
And he just looks up when he sees Barry.
I didn't know if it was Barry.
I'm just using Barry as a place marker.
I think Barry sometimes listens to this podcast.
Barry, let's know if it was you.
Silky looked at
who might have been Barry
and went,
ah,
this is my junglers.
What does it even mean?
What?
What does it even mean?
But it's now become,
it's become one of our
favourite messages
whenever
whenever there's
a lulling
conversation
you just go
hey
this is my
chocolate
you know if we're
just in Hawaii
in the fucking
pool on the
on the loungers
on the inflatable
fucking
just in the pool
and you just
float by
with a cocktail
in your hand
you'll just look
at them and go
this is my
junglers
it gets us
every fucking time
oh man
I was like
it's just
it's just
whenever you're
in your happy place
you'll say
this is my junglers
which
I don't
I don't even get
the reference
because
junglers
isn't notoriously hard
to anybody
that's not getting
the references so far
up until this point
it's just a chain
comedy club
that ran like excuse me it's just a chain comedy club that ran like
excuse me Kai was
was a chain it didn't last
but like it was the
hardest gig to achieve
and the hardest gig to do as a star
in comedy not the hardest
there was about 50 of them
around the country but if you've got
John Glazer professional because they've got
enough gigs to keep you paid
for life
like for a year
you can get
an annual salary
from John Glass
gigs alone
so like
it is like
a career opener
but fuck me
you dread them
and they can be
really hard
and they can feel
like such an achievement
if you get them right
I don't know how
that's like
sitting on a rock
playing Augusta guitar in the sun in the countryside of Wales but I was just saying like such an achievement if you get them right I don't know how that's like sitting on a rock playing yeah
Augusta Qatar
and the sun
and the country side
of Wales
but I was just saying
every time we were
happy place
oh man I was
chatting I was
I was on the gondola
with Dan Knight
and Caelan
and Milo McCabe
and
not Mary Bell
Mausine
and I just
lay back
and went
ah
this is my gondolas
and
there was another one
where
during that holiday
the reason I brought that up
that wasn't the main
reason I brought that story up
is because
the Charlie Hebdo's
attacks happened
and
we've done
we've done an impression
of the terrorists
fucking loosing that fucking cartridge attacks happened and we've done an impression of the terrorists fucking
loosing their
fucking cartridge
this is my
junglers
just any time
any
what year was
Charlie Hebdo
I reckon that was
2015
I feel like I was
younger
I reckon that
may perhaps 14 maybe 15 because it was I feel like I was younger I reckon that may
perhaps 14
maybe 15
because it was that holiday
it was that holiday
I knew that I was doing the man
oh you're right
you were stuck in 2015 sport
is that what it is
you know how I know that
because I was
I had just started doing the man
in the house routine
you know with a big picture of me
and me specky glasses
well it wasn't the glasses
that was specky
it was me that was specky oh so I'm sorry I'm sorry is this is with a big picture of me and me specky glasses. Well, it wasn't the glasses that were specky, it was me that was specky.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Is this
a comedian version of
I remember when I was on 9-11?
You're like, I know what joke I was telling
during Charlie Hebdo. I can genuinely
timestamp.
Danny, laugh it up.
I can timestamp stuff based
on what my set was.
If he can't, you better stop mixing it up I couldn't even tell you what fucking year
I wrote Dark in
you can't plug your material the year
of your fringe
I don't know when your birthday is
I don't remember dates
you done that in the whatsapp about Mark Nelson's 40th
we were like are you 40 already
I literally tapped you up for a video
for a fucking montage of videos
for Mark Nelson's 40th
and you sent one
and then we're like are you 40
like 4 weeks later
man I just
do you think I do not
fucking stick
do you think
I went over the top
for Mark Nelson's
39th
I just
I just
I just thought
you were trying to
build it up for next year
you know that not a lot
of people like Mark
it'll probably take
more than a year
to get a 30 second
video together
from some people
you were like
I could
I might get half a dozen
people if I start now.
Aye, we'll just fucking build up.
That's why I assume at this point
you've started trying to get the videos from my 40th.
You're standing there like,
hoping to fill five minutes.
Are you 30?
Aye.
Dad said that because we had a big party for you
no we didn't
I lie
it was during lockdown
oh
did we talk about that
why were you open about that
was that against the rules at the time
oh well I mean
there was a false dawn wasn't there
there was a false dawn on lockdown
so when we were touring
and we had that party
it feels like fucking ages ago now
but it felt like that was fucking ages ago now, but it felt like that was...
Fucking ages ago.
I know, but it felt like that was the fucking...
The world opening.
Like...
Oh, no, I knew it wasn't.
Like, there was no way.
So, okay, that said then,
if you were so sure then,
how do you feel now about this one?
Oh, like...
Oh, then I feel way less guilty. I don't feel guilty about... No, I mean, not guilt, not like how do you feel. I mean, like, oh, then, I feel way less guilty.
I don't feel guilty about it.
No, I mean, not guilt,
not like, how do you feel?
I mean, like,
how optimistic are you
that the gigs that are in my diary,
the plans that we've got for Portugal,
Oh, very.
Like,
Very, very optimistic.
Very, very optimistic
for the,
the rate at which
the UK's been vaccinating
and the rate at which
America's been vaccinating.
And the fact that
what you're doing now
is already
streets ahead of what we did.
I think, man, you've got to remember
like, yeah, yeah, and Australia's
not getting a vaccine out here for a fucking, like,
I mean, they've got some here, but they've only
had 950 deaths and Italy have kept
some of their fucking vaccines from them.
But, like, it is, like, once
America fucking opens, which will
be by July,
and that's when Scotland and England most likely will be open as well.
Because nobody's going to stop buying the fucking vaccine.
Like the world needs to be open.
Like I think we are in the last bit of this.
Do you keep up with the news much?
No, not at all.
Because I think I read, because I was stoned the other day.
I've been stoned for the last three days, it's been class by the way
I've been really enjoying it
it's fucking really good, I've spent a lot of my life not stoned
Danny, in just the last few
days I've been getting high
I've been fucking having a belter
not always having a belter by the way, let's get back to that
but I think I scrolled past something saying
they've got a vaccine for malaria
has that always been there?
is that a new thing?
Well, I think so.
It kills more people than fucking...
I don't know, mate.
Oh, yeah.
I think there is a vaccine for malaria anyway, though.
Is there?
Oh, fuck.
I thought there was a scientific breakthrough about malaria,
and I was like...
Because I was chatting that day about this the other day
with all of the research they're doing for vaccines I bet you
that fucking like that foundation
is equipped for a lot of
things now to like find vaccinations
for other things because they've like
they've probably solved
so much just by trying
to find a vaccine for this that
they're gonna answer a lot of other puzzles that
are out there as well or that are
like not even the puzzles that aren't even brought to us yet
are going to get solved because of the stuff they've uncovered.
So here you go.
So there was a malaria or there is a malaria vaccine
which was approved in 2015.
But it's the WHO, World Health Organization,
does recommend it due to its low efficiency, or they don't recommend
it in babies, but it's got low
efficacy
Low efficacy?
Efficacy, E-F-F-I-I
They've got a vaccination
for babies but it's just unethical
They have to
put it up the bum with a cock
it's the worst
but what they're saying is
the story in the last 24 hours
there's a vaccine from Oxford which is
said to be more than 75%
effective so hopefully which is
I mean fucking great news
man I'm just desperate like the world needs to
the world needs to open and it's
good that it's getting to this point
because I do sincerely worry
about the long-term effects
of this fucking pandemic.
Of what?
Of people's mental health
and social anxiety?
I cross the fucking board.
And skills.
It's made harmants of people.
People now who can work from home,
who one of the only reasons
that they were ever going outside
because they had to go to work
and they have to fucking see friends
are now able to work from home
and they'll have all these fucking things
and they've realised
and they enjoy staying at home.
Now, there's nothing wrong with that
if it makes them happy.
But, you know, you're a fucking hermit.
But it makes you insular
and it makes you like
shelled off and closed off
from all of the fruits that life has to offer.
You know, all of the fun and events and stuff like that, that you might have been on a social level to engage in.
You're just going to pass on them because you feel more comfortable.
Your comfort zone is compact now.
Yeah.
Yeah, go on.
is is compact now yeah and i also yeah god yeah no i i think people be too scared to go out try new things because they haven't needed to they've got this fucking safe thing and they now can do
everything from food so easy to get there booze is easy to get there you can live from your fucking
home now and you're not forced to go outside anymore i think man there are teenagers that
missed their fucking last year of high school didn't get their fucking proms
kids that didn't get to fucking set their exams
kids that didn't get to start in fucking high school
kids in fucking nursery
who didn't get to train
there are babies that are born
that haven't seen a fucking
they've only seen like three faces for the first year
of their life
one of the most important years for cerebral
development is the first year of your life when you of the most important years for cerebral development is the
first year of your life when you get used to and it's getting passed around you've seen three yeah
just getting passed around uncles and aunties and friends and just like integrated into the community
into the into the clan into the tribe and all of a sudden you've got this outcast child that's
nearly two but just but and it's just it's just knowing these two faces and things will change
but
I'm not saying
it'll happen
I don't know
I just think
there'll be huge
I feel for the
this is a bigger
I keep saying it
this is a bigger 9-11
like
there is post-Covid
and there was pre-Covid
and we are now
in a different world
than we were
than two years ago
I've been saying about
my goddaughter
turning eight
and she had
tickets booked for festivals and stuff and she missed like a real transitional year of becoming
an adult the transition between like being a child and then being able to drink being able to go to
festivals being able to go on holiday with her mates and that this is this has been her like 18
months that like was really pivotal in my in my development as a human
and she's she's been robbed of that or it's been put in suspended animation and she'll
she'll get to do it down the line but i really feel for that that that generation man
no i should man and also i mean i know i shit on fucking old people all the time but like i
i think like one of the other long-term mental effects is the amount
of people that had to say or in fact sorry that could not say goodbye to loved ones in the past
year like how does that make you feel about death how does that absolutely like to know that like
somebody that you truly fucking loved this person that lived this long happy brilliant life and of
course that's what celebrate but in their fucking final moment were alone and they had to be like that is even though you weren't
there that is an emotional fucking trauma and like literally well over half a million brits have just
fucking gone through that yeah and i mean i've got an unprocessed death like where i lost i lost
somebody not a relative but somebody that was really close to us really important to us as a role model and um and i i found myself like the like processing the
pain and the grief by like getting angry at trivial things just getting angry at real trivial stuff
and i feel like i never really got to get back home get amongst the people that have also
been through the same grief as me over the same person people who have like
people who are feeling exactly the same as me out there but I haven't been able
to connect with them which is such an important part of grief that's what man
the reason why some funerals can be great right and because you're there
with people who are absolutely
as fucking devastated as you are
in the same way that a wedding is fun
is because you're all there celebrating something
funerals can be great because there's so many people
all in the same
despair just going
we've lost this fucking great person
and you share it amongst each other
and that does lighten the fucking burden of it
it's such a weird one because it's like
Natalie, I kind of share it with natalie because natalie has heard me talk about her a lot it's
someone i used to work with natalie's never met her it's somebody that like natalie hasn't met
even when i like chat to my parents on the phone who i still haven't seen since november since
before liz passed and they didn't know so like even the closest you don't know like the closest people to me
don't know who I've lost
so I haven't been able
I haven't even been able
to share that grief at all
in a way
and that is
you know when you say
there's 150,000 people
there's 150,000 communities
of people who are going through that
the death's the nucleus
there's rings and rings of people who are going through that, the death's the nucleus there's
rings and rings of people around that nucleus
that are suffering
and they have to deal with that
Sorry
just to
with the death of your friend Liz there
I
went to Demi Lardner and Tom
Walker's house the other day
just to see them in Sydney.
How are they doing?
And I was talking to...
They're doing very good and they were both asking after you
and Tom was telling me that he, the one time,
or he decided to one day raid you on Twitch
because you were on Twitch
and he came in with like 350 people
and it was when you were literally
grieving about Liz
and like Tom was
just saying man like I came in and like
all my followers are silly and we're just coming
in and I've told them how great
Kai is we come in and Kai's just
saying we're like hi guys it's a different type
of stream today like I've just
watched somebody close to me
so funny i was treating the future because you're not like my my stream is fucking close-knit man
like it's literally i always have been pun intended it's close-knit it's full not intended
for not intended i've got like um it a steady like 40 to 60 people

it doesn't
it doesn't
it doesn't
it doesn't
it doesn't it doesn It's like having your own comedy club. It's your own audience that just comes to see you. Punch drunk.
I've made it fucking punch drunk on the internet where I can just connect with the same people.
And I love it.
And every now and again, like a raid will come in like that.
And I just, I had to deal like that.
I was fucking just spilling all my emotions.
Because the reason I chose to do it
is because a lot of people are going through it.
And a lot of people are in that situation.
But a lot of people don't really have a platform to share their experience of it.
And I think that shared experience would be actually fucking nice for people who are also going through it.
And I chose not to do it on the podcast.
And just to do it on my Twitch stream.
Just because it's a bit more like, I don't know.
I'm just giving a bit more of my soul.
And I tell Mark I'm reigning.
And I had to be,
hey, everyone, thanks for the followers.
That's what she would have wanted.
So I was like,
fucking when they come in,
I was like previously on
and I had to give
like a fucking recap
just so that I wasn't
just carried on
with a train of thought
I was eh
I was actually
letting them know
what the dwork they're on
I think I dealt with it
alright actually
I hope
oh no he was
he was saying you did
but Tom's thing
was more
he was just
like
just like mortified
like I
I came in at
the worst time, like it's like walking in
the room and someone fucking you
like I'm so sorry, I came in at the worst possible
time for this
It was comedy timing
absolute comedy timing
it was literally like
if you were doing the short doc and then you're doing
like, and then that's when my sister
died, and then there's just like a stag do come in.
No, fucking man.
When I, the first year I did
the fucking Melbourne Comedy Festival,
before I was fucking even friends
with Auntie Donna, right?
I was doing my show upstairs
at the Hi-Fi Bar at six.
Auntie Donna started at seven.
Now, Dark was running at about fucking 65
70 minutes at that point and they were going can you cut it down to an hour and i'm like of course
i'll try but like if i can't rush i can't rush it like the show after me is is an hour later like
it won't be too bad but like it's fine day one right i'm enjoying it i'm getting the feel for
the fucking room i'm getting the feel for the fucking room, I'm getting the feel for the audience,
my first time in fucking Melbourne,
and I go from six to seven,
and at seven's the bit
when I start getting into the Josie bit,
and I fucking swear to God,
that first night,
and I go,
and that's the moment
my mother told me my sister died.
I'm in an 80 seater room,
downstairs Auntie Donna
and in a 300,
and they just go,
boom, boom,
Auntie Donna, and a crowd just fucking r go boom boom auntie donna and a crowd
it's like a shitty melbourne venue the whole audience loses his fucking mind i'd say the
audience in my room so tense so nervous i who have told this joke several times that i've done this
show 90 times i i can't stop laughing because I'm like, that is the greatest
comedy timing in the fucking world.
And I tell you what, man, boy, did it
make me speed that show up. Having
that fucking threat
every night of just, like,
at one point, Auntie Donna
are going to walk on stage and you've got
to make sure you're off stage before that
happens. You've got to beat it to the punch.
I had a show at the French Festival one year
where they started, there was a protest show upstairs
and they give people picket poles,
like as if they were at the picket line,
you know, like if your house is for sale,
a picket pole sign, you know what a picket pole is.
And at one part of the show...
No, no, no, explain it further.
Look, so it's on like a bit of two by four
and
and what
it's like card
or it's plywood
what's the
it's like MDF
and it's got like
a sign on it
so they started
fucking out
at some point in the show
started banging it off the floor
and chanting
right
and then
and it was just fucking
just
it was heckling us
every day
so what I started doing is I had a bit about UKIP and and then it was just fucking, it was heckling us every day.
So what I started doing is I had a bit about UKIP and I brought the UKIP lane to the time
when I thought it was going to be
so that I could bounce off it
and go, nah, they're rallying up against us already.
Made it look like it was a UKIP rally.
And I had to rearrange the entire set
to fit in a punchline about the fucking thing
that was happening
and then I got it
so on point
that I realised
they were only doing
a two week run
and when that run
stopped
I lost the gag
so
at first
I was infuriated
by them
and then I adapted
to it
and I was fucking
gutted when they left
and
while I remember
talking about
I've been getting high lately
I have been
I've been having a nice time
but Danny
Natalie's been away
she went
to London
because she went to
part of her
part of the conditions
of her living in Scotland
is that she goes back
every now and again
to do some stuff in London
that's such a fucking
English thing to do man
just let us go
just let us fucking go
alright
let's discuss
it all
go work up north
but come back
and just check
in again
just get over
her
state of years
aye
I mean
I don't know
what the implications
are she might
have to like
interview people
you know
and it's just
easier than
being on zoom
I don't know
what she's doing
I never
it's like
Matty
I don't know
what the day
is like
to the closest
people to us
I've got no idea
what the day for a living is
do your Chandler Bings
absolutely
I work every day
in fact I lived in a fucking small flat in London
where I'd hear a work calls
I'd hear what was happening
no idea what she does mate
it's a foreign language to me
every time somebody asks me what's Cara does
I can tell you what I think she does but I also know that every time somebody asks me what's Cara does I can tell you what I think she does
but I also know that every time I say
this in front of her that she corrects me
but I also know that I don't
listen to the correction
like I don't update
I say something
and she goes that's not it, it's actually
and then I tune out and I
remind myself of a gig I did 7 years ago
and then she's done talking I'll myself of a gig I did seven years ago and then she's done talking.
I'll tell you one thing I did take on board,
and I will get back to the initial point I was trying to make,
because she works in HR, right?
And she said that the way that they measure the gender pay gap, right,
is get a median.
Can you remember what a median is from averages in school?
Yeah, it's like somebody pretending to be a psychic
yes yeah the the guest is a gender pay cap and they get it right every time men get paid more
they take everyone in the company put them like in numerical order who gets the most who gets the
least and then the middle one is the median so they get the gender pay gap yeah yeah as a as
opposed as opposed to the mean,
which is you add them all together
and you divide by the amount.
Divide it by the amount, yes.
And that's the average.
What's the...
So the median's the one that's just in the middle.
Yeah, mode is the third.
There's another...
Mode.
I can't recall what that one is.
Mode, I think, is whichever there is the most numbers of.
If there's like 773s and 280s,
the mode is 73.
I think I could be wrong.
Right.
So of the three,
they use median.
And one thing they've asked them to do
is only give the median
of people who are getting paid 100 if you've been
furloughed and you're getting 80 don't involve them in the statistics so they've had to provide
the statistic that just doesn't count it just doesn't count and she's going kai it's fucking
ridiculous it's like you're talking about massaging the figures. It just fucking causes chaos with the figures.
The figure for the gender pay gap
on the next gender pay gap is gonna
be a problematic
number. It doesn't make any
sense. There's
no reason for it.
So, I don't know how they're
about to remedy something that's
so important when their data
collection is so flawed
that's one thing I know about her work
is that she tells us about the gender pay gap
and she was bewildered by the fucking figures that they have
to present and I'm just like
aye that's fucked
I don't know much about the pay gap
except that I earn
more than most of them
so that's all about
what's your high story oh yeah I saw when she was away more than most of them.
What's your high story?
Oh yeah, so when she's away she tells us
water all of my plants, right?
And she's telling us some instructions
but I fucking don't know how to water plants, right?
I'm like, I couldn't tell you
if I've done too much water by males
or not enough water by males
I can just tell you they've had an amount of water.
I put water in them at some point.
I didn't sign up for this.
I'm stepped out of them plants
and them plants to me are ginger.
I'm trying to keep these plants alive, right?
So I fucking get the water in the can, I'm high
I've had a smoke, I can't run
I've watered all the plants right
I've finished watering all the plants
you're high on plants and you're going to water plants
that's like you
that's like eating meat and then going to feed the cows
like it's
honestly it's like fucking
it's like fucking Jumanji in my house, man.
This house is trying to claim itself back.
The earth is trying to claim it back from the inside.
Like, honestly, I got out of the toilet
in the middle of the night.
I need to take a machete.
I fucking ended up going for about a year, man.
I fucking started hanging out with gorillas.
I was like fucking Sigourney Weaver.
So, it's so amused.
Wait, Sigourney Weaver what movie
Instinct
was the movie called Instinct
Anthony Hopkins wasn't it
oh I've not seen it
so I don't know the reference
the only guerrilla reference
I would have would be
Jane Goodall
is that who Sigourney Weaver played
maybe
I don't know
don't call us on our reference Danny
I'm probably wrong
and even if I'm. I'm probably wrong.
And even if I'm right,
I'm going to lose confidence in the slightest bit of inquiry.
I bullshit with confidence
until I get queried on it.
So,
what I'm trying to say is,
just walking from one end of the house
to the other,
it's like being on walkabout.
I'm in the outback. My house got right can i can i tell you something we've got 70 plants in the house
seven zero what 70 plants right i don't think we've got that many and you have got a living wall
well i mean we don't we did oh yeah and i don't want my house to end up like that, right? So we've got 70 plants, Daniel, right?
I water all of them.
I go around every room and meticulously water every single plant.
Do you talk to them?
All I can hear in my head is Natalie telling her friends,
we've got 60 66 plants 70
70 if you count
the fake ones
Daniel
I reiterate
I watered
every plant
alright
but you also
at this point
still don't know
which ones
the fake ones are
so you're like
I'm not gonna
stop
no no no
I watered them again today.
And some of them, four of them, overflowed.
But yesterday, I was just dead high and I finished them.
And I was like, I don't know which one's the worst.
I've got no idea.
And all of a sudden, I think, living in the suburbs, I've got the idea and I'll turn to that
thing
everyone living in the
suburbs
I've never had this
before so I don't know
why I'm having it now
erm
been smoking
gay thoughts
every time I put that
spliff in my mouth
I'm like I wish this
was a tiny penis
oh so that's why
you invited Colin
over
no really that is
is ridiculously big
the only man that's got
a bigger cock than me
and a way bigger cock
the only one in your house
not my house anymore man
it's just me and Cullen live together now
Cullen lives with you
tag motherfucker
tag
no
no
fucking touched you last
slept at your house last mate
oh mate
there's a reason
I'm letting this podcast
overrun
I've got to get back
to that
be sniffing Natalie's
knickers instead of Cara's
which is my
funniest bit in that WhatsApp group is the joke that fucking Colin's always sniffing around Natalie's knickers instead of Cara's which is my funniest bit in that WhatsApp group
is the joke that Colin's always sniffing
Cara's knickers, you never get involved
in it, you never wait in
you never say anything
you never join in with
a joke, you never
give any rebuttals, you just
ghost the whole conversation
and it's been a bit for about a year
and people will be like Colin have you ever been at games and you just cough up a pair and it's been a bit for about a year. And people will be like,
Colin, have you ever been at games night
and you just cough up a pair of our knickers at the table?
And that'll just spin into the bed.
I'll laugh at jokes I enjoy.
I'll not laugh at jokes I don't enjoy.
Colin, have you ever been...
I'll not interrupt either.
Colin, have you ever been just sat in the drum of the washing machine
waiting for a car to throw you in our underwear
and put you on a delicate cycle.
It'll just be like, they'll just be, Cullen, have you
ever? Like, there's over
a hundred of them that have been in that WhatsApp
group, Cullen, have you ever? And it's always about
sniffing your fiancé's knickers.
And you've never blinked.
It's just like, this isn't meant to join
in on. This isn't meant to push
back against. It's just utter exclusion. I'm just like, this isn't meant to join in on. This isn't meant to push back against.
It's just utter exclusion.
I'll just... Mind you, man, I'm an Australian.
I do not catch up with...
I try sometimes to catch up with the goat gang,
but when you wake up to 400 messages,
I'm just like...
I just say it.
That WhatsApp is an ongoing
conversation and
you wouldn't walk into a bar
after people have been at the bar for three hours
and say so then
tell me everything that everyone
said up until this point
you'd just jump in when you could
right
so one last thing is
I've been smoking weed just to the back of my veranda
because Josephine sent us
some of these cones
that you can just like,
so if you mix your back in your green,
you can pour them into.
Just sort of struggling.
So you're doing full blunts then?
Now I've been putting a bit of back in.
And a bit more 50-50 on the back,
you say,
like a bit more than there is weed.
I remember at the start of this podcast
when you were like, I've not smoked in ages.
Aye, yeah, aye.
Well, this is where I'm at now, Danny.
I've got a pack of cigarettes there
for rolling joints with.
It's been there for a week.
I haven't had one.
Aye.
I've just been smoking weed like 20 days.
With who the filter?
I was about to say, you were like,
you said that going,
oh, I don't normally
smoke weed
but I have smoked weed
every day for the past
three days
oh I wonder why
this is like when I
moved into fucking
Garscoop
for the fucking
first time
and I was like
I'm just a stoner
and the reason I was
a stoner
was because I was
mixing fucking
joints with tobacco
all the time
and that's why I was
smoking seven a day
and that's what led
to me being the
big fucking
legend stoner
I am now
what were your little vapes
here were your vapes
I'm smoking
blunts out here
I'm off to smoke a spliff
after this
you rotten wee prick
I'll have you
I'll have you know
I'll have you know
I'll have you know
I have a black friend
called Nat Tamina
and he
is able to get me drugs
all the time actually oh can I ask have you
done his podcast yet?
Yes I have yeah. Because you asked me for
doing it on you. I didn't
have much.
So Nat's podcast
with his flatmate Marty
is about flatmates and stuff so he was
just asking questions about flatmates
and he tried to phone up Gene
and Kai to find out if they had any horrible stories
about me being a horrible flatmate
but thankfully I'm not
but the story they fucking did bring up
and Nat was just like I just have to ask
do you wear Kai's underwear
and I was like well no no no Kai puts
Kai doesn't collect his underwear and then
it makes its way into my underwear drawer and if
it isn't my underwear drawer I'll
wear that underwear
and he's like
that's really gross
and then I went
no no look
and then genuinely
Guy can you confirm
just on camera
are they mine?
what the fuck
is wrong with you?
what the fuck
is wrong with you man?
what you've washed
them it doesn't matter
don't put them
in my fucking pile
I'm not gonna
I'm not gonna
I'm not gonna
I don't know what
underwear I bought
do you use my toothbrush
because that's like
that but worse
which I probably
would use my toothbrush
no I wouldn't use
your toothbrush
but you'd put your
cock in me cock strap
you've washed it
I had
in boiling hot water
for three hours
I washed my toothbrush
with toothpaste
in water ah right and mouthwash and I spit the I wash my toothbrush with toothpaste and water
and mouthwash
and I spit the mouthwash back onto it
so getting high on the porch
Natalie come out and had a spliff
one of the nights
and the other couple of nights I'm getting high and she's not
but I'm always just on the porch
having me smoke
and I'm thinking out of it
I've never once
thought about the neighbours
when I'm smoking weed
but I'm in the suburbs
in Clarkston
which seems a little bit
like putting lardy d'or
when you're looking round
I mean it's like
not lardy d'or
like your lardy d'or
your lardy d'or's
so lardy d'or
your neighbours wouldn't be able
to smell if you had a spliff
because they're that far away
you're on land
right, this is La-di-da
but we can't afford to have this attitude
like semi-detached La-di-da
if there's anyone from Blythe listening
South Beach, I live in
Glasgow's South Beach
and
I had a spliff at like 3 in the afternoon
lovely sunny day, I've been on my own I get high after my stream and then I look through the window and I had a spliff at like three in the afternoon lovely sunny day I've been on my own
I get high after my stream
and then I look through the window
while I'm making my lunch
I'm having a late lunch
look I sleep in
and the neighbours
taking the kids washing down
and I'm like
I don't know how much
I'm overthinking this
but did she smell the weed
and come out
and take the washing down
or was the washing just done
or did she just go oh he's smoking it there wait the washing down? Or was the washing just done?
Or did she just go,
I smoked it there.
The washing's got to come in anyway.
I might as well take it to the new.
I didn't have my neighbours well enough.
I sat myself on the porch and read my book for a bit,
thinking if she's got a problem with her smoking weed,
she's got five kids, man.
She'll be like,
yeah, I've got Ben's.
Can you not smoke weed in the garden during the day?
She's got five kids in Glasgow. That means four of them are going to be stoners eventually regardless of what you do she could
be a stoner she may want a spliff which i'd be happy to provide her with uh i just had this like
feeling of like oh i've been i've never like i've never had a weirdly i've never felt like i've had
to respect my neighbors before do Do you know what I mean?
Have you ever lived where you've got space
to be loud and fucking obnoxious without bothering anyone?
Man, you know how much I hate being loud.
You know how much I hate disturbing fucking neighbours.
How would you feel about smoking weed on the garden
when you're semi-detached with someone that's not kids?
Oh, give a fuck.
I disagree with the fucking law.
To me, it's genuinely
no different to smoking a cigarette yeah and i'm doing it outside it's it's there is there is no
difference to me that's why i will happily smoke a spliff walking down the street in scotland
because it's there's no difference to me i lived in a block of flats in london i would think
now to boot going onto that balcony where everybody else has got the same balcony everybody
else has got their windows open
because it gets hot in there
and like
I never
I never once considered
people living in a flat
carrying a weed
when I lived in Ashton
I'm in Ashton
and nobody's gonna ever
give a fuck about me weed
but when I'm here
that's it
smoking weed
smoking weed in your apartment
is how you advertise there and then people are like oh somebody's but when I'm here, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,

I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I, I was just over thinking because I think it was just the timing of when she clicked on her washing from me having a spliff
was just like almost passive
aggressive
man even if you're in the posh part of Glasgow
like this is the one fucking
one of the dumb ruby
drugs has nothing to do with class
aye that is true
upper, lower, middle doesn't fucking matter
it's a personality
you either take drugs or you don't take drugs
you either take lots of drugs or you take some drugs
it's fuck all to do with class
it's fuck all to do with area
it's fuck all
even in the most Christian parts
of fucking redneck America
you're still gonna fucking find stoners there
like it's just how society is
aye
aye that is true. In fact,
it's probably more Rafe or Coke, this
neck of the woods.
I've got a bit more.
Dean Dads?
Aye.
Your dad got a
Joe Willock tattoo
before it was cool, and that's way
worse.
It is, actually.
Just when he was an Arsenal youngster.
Oh, when he was 13.
Your dad sell the tape to paint,
brush to his paintball, good as a bayonet.
Your dad makes his own Oreos with Guinness shits and cum. Oh, that's gross.
That's fucking gross.
That's weirdly grosser than when I suggested vaccinating babies up the bum
oh man
fucking four years of this podcast
I think that's the best reaction I've ever got
from a dad joke
Guinness shits now
also
just to say artistically Guinness shits and cum know what that also just just to kind of just say artistically
Guinness shits and cum
is such a
satisfying punchline
just linguistically
it's only a
four word punchline
but fuck
does it pack a punch
you know what as well
it'd be
such a horrible texture
between the two
burger bits
of the oreo
like it would slip
it would slip
off the comb
yeah it would be good this would slip off the comb.
Yeah.
This is going to be a very, very unique reference,
but for anyone who's watched
Drop Dead Fred,
you know when he makes
his mud pie
and he pours milk
on top of it.
I imagine it's like
that type of...
I can't remember the reference,
but I'm definitely
going to watch that movie again.
Your dad dropped
£125 on the bandit and he
quit his job
and left your
mam
your dad
scratches his
ears with his
feet
your dad
puts one
sock on both
feet then
puts them in
one welly to
go fishing in
the hope that
he'll pull a
mermaid
your dad
wishes Mel
Gibson had a podcast
I do
I do
I want to do a podcast about Mel Gibson's podcast
just like the talking dead
is to the walking dead
we would do the aftermath
or as Pascoe is to Sluss and Humphries on the road
oh for fuck
this isn't a
Patreon episode
keep it in your pants
your dad rocked
bottomed your
grandad's corpse
into the coffin
because it's what
he would have wanted
aye it is
and he hasn't risen
from the dead since
so
not like last time
the undead take was there sorry fuck you from the dead since so not like last time the Undertaker
was there
sorry
fuck you
fuck you
to hell
sorry
step on your dad joke
your dad's got
small tits
for a fat lad
he does
he really does
when we stop the podcast
you just want to chat for another couple of minutes
just Collins here
I'd love to
but I've got to go smoke a spliff
just in case Collins in the whatsapp chat
he was in it while I was sat next to him, man.
I was sat next to him watching the football,
having a lovely time, two mates, right?
I'm looking at the WhatsApp just to see him antagonising you,
he's a bootback man and that.
I'm like, how can you be so lovely in person
but just such a wretch in real life?
No, no, wretch in WhatsApp.
Oh, yeah, aye, sorry. What did I what did i say first i have that was you said
you said how could you be such a horrible person in real life but such a wretch in real life
no no slamming no you heard you heard um i'll do a podcast with colin while he's here but
he has the he has a twist I'll not tell him it's a recording.
Just twist his nipples till he convinces him of stuff that he didn't do.
Right, mate. Enjoy Oreos.
Good riddance. Bye.
Bye.
