Starting point is 00:01:44 It's only part of that song that song I know I thought you were going to start freestyling there no because it's it's from when was the last time you watched Shrek Shrek it's been a long time
Starting point is 00:01:52 I can tell you go to Shrek and Crescent go on get out of my swamp Jesus Christ Jesus fucking Christ that's my go to Scottish accent
Starting point is 00:02:00 aye is it and how's Natalie with that aye aye I bet that's not the type of racism she expected to experience. She's like,
Starting point is 00:02:09 well, okay, I'm offended from the other side. This is new. This is exciting. When Shrek and Donkey go on the road, Donkey starts singing
Starting point is 00:02:20 on the road again. Just can't wait to get on the road again. But that's the only part of the song. I know. Slauson Humphrey's on the road again. Get out of my get on the road again but that's the only part of the song I know Slauson Humphreys on the road again
Starting point is 00:02:26 get out of my swamp nope I mean it's just I wonder if the Shrek films have aged well imagine the first one at least well do you think
Starting point is 00:02:36 it could be problematic well a donkey fucks a dragon mate aye but you know what it's free love aye maybe I could go ahead
Starting point is 00:02:43 of that time actually because it might do we watched Austin Powers the other week and that actually aged very well Aye, but you know what? It's free love. Aye, maybe. I could go ahead of that time, actually. Because it might do. We watched Austin Powers the other week and that actually aged very well. Not we, as in me and you and Cara. No, me and Cara the other day watched Legally Blonde. I've not ever seen it before.
Starting point is 00:02:59 And fucking Jennifer Gulledge fully uses the word spastic. Yes! She just drops something. She was like like why am I such a spastic and me and Cara were like whoa alright come on then easy so I just think it's
Starting point is 00:03:16 I think it's good to watch things from fucking back in the day and just go oh my god this hasn't aged that great but it's wrong to try and get something cancelled retrospectively. Oh, I think so too. It's just so stupid when they're like but they said this thing 20 years ago and you go, yeah, right, and it's
Starting point is 00:03:34 not great now. And it's really really good that you realise it's not applicable or appropriate now. That's good. But you can't fucking, you can't go back 20 years and be like everyone on Friends needs to die because there was
Starting point is 00:03:47 no black characters and they made a bunch of homophobic jokes we've got to get it fucking cancelled they made it Joey was overly persistent with women
Starting point is 00:03:54 he was very well yeah was he was Joey ever truly you know when he kept going to knock on the girl's house from across the thing
Starting point is 00:04:00 I was watching that guy and all this isn't aging great but it's still like you'd never like you just got that friends was friends friends was friends
Starting point is 00:04:09 lock that in it's there it's beyond reproach and we'll put it's not beyond reproach you're allowed to you're allowed to say this

Starting point is 00:04:59 do you not remember the episode of Pokemon when they took down the Berlin Wall no no I've not made that up
Starting point is 00:05:04 Jesus oh you've got a written lie remember the episode of Pokemon when they took down the Berlin Wall? No. No, I made that up. Jesus. Oh, you've got a real time lie. On air. On air. You think they fucking got Geodude and Golem
Starting point is 00:05:13 to just start smashing it down? Well, it's a brick wall so we're going to have to use, I guess, a grass type of Pokemon. Has anyone got a Venasaur?
Starting point is 00:05:21 Maybe Squirtle? We can Squirtle down the Berlin Wall. That was a T-shirt quote, wasn't it? Letle squirtle down the Berlin Wall that was a that was a T-shirt quote let's squirtle down the Berlin Wall
Starting point is 00:05:31 do you not remember when Pikachu, Ash, Brock and Onix they all got together to stop the Rwandan Genocide
Starting point is 00:05:37 Pikachu stopped him and tried to save the oh I'm going to fuck this up it was the Soxies and the Sootsies
Starting point is 00:05:43 but I can't remember who was the bastards do youies and the Sootsies but I can't remember who was the bastards do you not remember the Power Rangers in Jerusalem form of
Starting point is 00:05:53 don't don't don't make any form oh man well that was a fun bit do you not remember
Starting point is 00:06:02 when Hey Arnold got sent to Auschwitz they got there Well, that was for a bit. Do you not remember when Hey Arnold got sent to Auschwitz? They got the anarchist feminism way wrong. I mean, if anyone, it should have been. Aye. I remember when Dora the Explorer solved apartheid.
Starting point is 00:06:16 Solved apartheid. You see a problem here? What could it be? I fucking miss... I guess I don't miss cartoons, but I like the... Thank you for showing me that cartoon. I'm absolutely going to have to re-watch
Starting point is 00:06:35 because I was drunk as fuck when I watched it. You're talking about Invincible. Invincible. What a fucking cartoon. So good. Done in the style of all of the cartoons I watched as a kid aye
Starting point is 00:06:45 like you're not you're He-Man you're X-Men you're Thundercats you're like if anyone's not watched it yet it's on Amazon
Starting point is 00:06:50 it's the comic books were written by Robert Kirkman who's the guy Walking Dead Walking Dead yeah and look ignore the last
Starting point is 00:06:57 19 seasons of Walking Dead and focus on the first five the whole point of Walking Dead was they were going to keep it
Starting point is 00:07:02 going for as long as they could keep it going it was eventually going to fizzle out. They never had an ending for it. That was the plan. And I kept up with the comic books and I kept up with the series for as long as I could keep up with them.
Starting point is 00:07:13 And then I was like, right, I'm done. I'm tapping out. And good on them for trying to keep it going because that was the plan. It was meant to be a soap. Aye, aye. But then I think he was just like, we're done it now. I think it got up to 30 graphic novels and I stopped around 27. Yeah, that was a bit of a...
Starting point is 00:07:27 And my dad's just like, for the love of God, just finish it. Like, I promise you, it's over. For me, it was when they started wearing zombie skins. They started skinning zombies and walking around with the zombie skins on. That's, for me, when I felt like they jumped the shark. Aye, aye. There was also... Man, Negan was really good.
Starting point is 00:07:42 He was a saving grace in the comic books for so much. And I thought he was brilliant in the TV series Negan. I know some people didn't. But he was just such a brilliant bastard in the comic books. Anyway, Robert Kirkman is a superb graphic novel writer. And a brutal graphic novel writer. Because if you remember some of the stuff from Walking Dead, that didn't make it into the show.
Starting point is 00:08:02 Like when Michonne fucking got a captured by the governor and literally fucking raped and galloped for about three months she had him kneeling on a plank of two by four wood
Starting point is 00:08:14 knee on each side with his cock nailed to the middle aye and when he come round she scooped a spoon that was already
Starting point is 00:08:22 up his ass and used that to take his eyeball out. Eye. Eye. That's what level of fucking graphic novel Robert Kirkman was writing that he chose. I've got this thing for TV
Starting point is 00:08:32 and TV were like, we'll smash Glenn's head in with a barbed wire thing but we're not going to do the cock nailed to the plank of wood thing. We can't poop a scoop with an eyeball. I just can't get it past the censored yeah
Starting point is 00:08:45 if you were South Park we might be able to let you do it because it's a comic book but that's the great thing about this Invincible series
Starting point is 00:08:51 is because it's a cartoon an adult cartoon with a fucking chock-a-block fucking cast by the way it's like
Starting point is 00:08:59 J.K. Simmons Sandra oh fucking what are I'm such a bastard for not knowing Glenn's name in real life I'm a a bastard for not knowing Glenn's name in real life
Starting point is 00:09:05 I'm a fan of his he did Conan Without Borders a bunch of times and he was really funny in the sketch on the sketch show I think you should leave
Starting point is 00:09:13 aye fuck I'm an asshole for not knowing his name anyway there's a bunch of other ones fucking Seth Rogen's in it like there's it's just a really
Starting point is 00:09:20 good fucking cast and without you watch the first episodes and the last 10 minutes you'll go oh okay I now understand
Starting point is 00:09:29 why everyone's talking about this I've never been actually astonished as much as like because we drank quite a bit of whiskey last night
Starting point is 00:09:35 and we just got carried away we're like early shows we didn't get carried away Marlena fucking texted us
Starting point is 00:09:40 it was rebellion it was teenage rebellion like we're down I'm a 30 year old man you're a 45 year old man whoa we're down
Starting point is 00:09:46 what was that I'm just Jesus oh yeah that'll be Beth just next week we were down and obviously
Starting point is 00:09:58 we're air quotes recovering from COVID despite the fact that we both didn't fucking test so we don't have anymore but we're still
Starting point is 00:10:04 a bit tired and fucking this is what Merlin does I mean again it comes from a place of love but it's just micromanagement
Starting point is 00:10:10 and she just messaged us both being like so just recommend you probably don't drink too much on stage tonight
Starting point is 00:10:19 just to help you recover and I was like I wasn't even going to drink but now that you've told me not to do it
Starting point is 00:10:24 I'm off to buy a bottle of whiskey to have a look between shows she was like I wasn't even going to drink but now that you've told me not to do it I'm off to buy a bottle of whiskey to have a Lucas Aid between shows she was like micromanaging like when I had me specific drinks for energy levels
Starting point is 00:10:33 which is kind of like adorable in a way but like how am I don't tell us when to drink Lucas Aid if you
Starting point is 00:10:40 don't man if you tell me to do something I will just not fucking do it like unless it's literally my job, anything else nah
Starting point is 00:10:46 so in childish rebellion we polished off a bottle of whiskey yesterday and drank with for a meal because there was whiskey available at the Japanese place that I went to when it was over in Birmingham and we were sitting in a window seat in this great fucking ramen
Starting point is 00:11:03 restaurant and I can't remember what you were talking to me about because I wasn't really listening. Oh, yeah! You were like bashfully flirting with us while I was talking. It was so weird. I was like, Danny's never normally this responsive. Like on a podcast,
Starting point is 00:11:21 you were acting like podcast responsible almost. Just me and you in a table conversation and then you explain to us what had just happened over the course of the last five minutes
Starting point is 00:11:31 we were in a window sitting in the fucking restaurant and there was a gay couple just outside the window right just fucking canoodling
Starting point is 00:11:38 having a little bit of PDA but here's the thing man I I like seeing gay couples being able to do public displays of affection yeah
Starting point is 00:11:47 normalise as much as possible yeah and also I love the fact that like you're in fucking Birmingham and you see fucking lads and nobody's
Starting point is 00:11:54 bothering them like it's just so normal and I think it's you know I imagine it's not the experience all the time for gay people but when I just say
Starting point is 00:12:01 I'm like fucking good for you it's still probably jarring to an older generation aye but for us it's like oh this is just this is normal now
Starting point is 00:12:08 this is brilliant this is progress in society yeah it's just absolutely so you won't be witnessing this but to witness it you had to look in that direction yeah and I was just staring and obviously I've got quite a fucking resting bitch face anyway and I'm just a bit of a miserable fucking cunt and one of the guys
Starting point is 00:12:22 keeps looking over at me and I'm just like oh fuck like oh and I've been saying that for a bit but it's just one of those moments
Starting point is 00:12:30 where I'm not staring at them the whole time I'm looking around but literally every time we both look around we both make eye contact so it looks like
Starting point is 00:12:36 you're staring it looks like I'm staring and I'm just worried in my head I'm like paranoid being like do I look like a fucking homophobe here
Starting point is 00:12:42 like what's the best way to do it and then I realised, I'm sat at a table with a bloke. So I start twirling my hair. I'm laughing at all your jokes and I'm like,
Starting point is 00:12:54 I'm not, me too. Like, I'm not. I couldn't be homophobic. I was in the zone in that five minutes of conversation.
Starting point is 00:13:01 You put me in the fucking zone. I was like, I'm fucking crushing it. I'm getting out of my chat. I'm getting my confidence. I zone I was like I'm fucking crushing him he had all my chat he gave me confidence he made me feel great I got fucking used I just didn't want him
Starting point is 00:13:11 to think I was homophobic so I pretended to be gay that's progress right that's not well
Starting point is 00:13:18 I'm gonna get cancelled in 20 years for that anyway back to Invincible aye you've known men's arseholes so yeah
Starting point is 00:13:29 I'm going to watch it again because I'm going to definitely indulge in the series but I feel like I was memories too hammered to take it all in
Starting point is 00:13:38 you know when I watch it again I go oh yeah oh yeah I probably need it previously on that's all I think I think it does have a previously on
Starting point is 00:13:46 at the start of each episode anyway but also it gets way fucking better it's just one of those series where every episode sort of builds up and then there's one
Starting point is 00:13:55 without this is no spoilers obviously there's one particular scene in the final episode where like in a load
Starting point is 00:14:03 in the fucking snook where I was watching it in the house I audibly went what the fuck why did you draw that like fine
Starting point is 00:14:10 like as if the artist is going to have PTSD from drawing it when I was just look at them pictures dude I was like I was like it's one of those scenes
Starting point is 00:14:17 where I was like you could never it was another poop scooping eye thing I was like there's no way you would have been allowed to do that
Starting point is 00:14:23 fucking scene if it was real life yeah is that a bee it's a dead bee fuck that's a dead bee why is it backstage
Starting point is 00:14:34 did you not feed a chug of water I didn't did you not see it there and then because I do I do do that and let me tell you what
Starting point is 00:14:41 fucking YouTube's a fucking liar man you're fucking like Marlene at the bees well because you're just like oh you're gonna have some of this sugar water for your dick. Fuck off mate man. Have it between flowers. You'll be fine. It'll make you feel better. I've just had a fucking shit ton of pollen. What are you making us drink the sugar water for? You can't be buzzing around all day long. Your body's too big for
Starting point is 00:14:59 your wings. Scientists always say that you shouldn't be able to fly but some way you can you've got to be exhausted Gareth Waugh used to have one of my favourite fucking bits in the world what did it go off it
Starting point is 00:15:10 but this really good bit about bees but you know when you fucking you know when you're writing together with your mates right and you just
Starting point is 00:15:17 get a bit and it's the funniest thing in the room with you and your mates right but for some fucking reason like audiences only give it 70
Starting point is 00:15:25 75 percent of what it deserves maybe more maybe less but it's never what it was in the room you can never find the essence of when you made your mates laugh i and but the thing is like man i still love that gareth ward joke so fucking much but i just want to be like i'm not doing it anymore man like people it's too long it's too weird but he just had this entire fucking fucking bit about going out and he's like
Starting point is 00:15:49 people go you've got to go outside and give give sugar water to the bees he's like no I'm not fucking running
Starting point is 00:15:54 a bee bar and if I was running a bee bar I'd call it Justin's Justin's bee bar and then it was just a bunch of really shit but brilliant bee puns and then bar and then it was just a bunch of really
Starting point is 00:16:05 shit but brilliant bee puns and then this and then this entire fucking rant when he was just going he's like you know they say
Starting point is 00:16:12 oh you know if all the bees die humans will die out we've been to the fucking moon we'll work it out fuck em
Starting point is 00:16:18 and it was I mean I'll never do it Justin because I'll never be able to fucking recapture it but you know that bit where he's just like oh god I just wished that you wish it pinged I wish it ping because I'll never fucking recapture it but you know that bit where you're just like oh god I just wished that
Starting point is 00:16:26 you wish it pinged I wish it pinged I wish it banged mate because it was such a good is there any jokes that you've given up on that you just couldn't get the ping
Starting point is 00:16:34 I used to have a bit I remember my dad was so not angry but he was so gutted that I dropped the bit it was years and years ago
Starting point is 00:16:43 but he still brings it up he's like please revisit it because you know maybe the reason you're a better comic now you can probably get your teeth into it a bit your lips are ruined teeth into it is what I was looking for but lips are ruined it's going to be when you go to
Starting point is 00:16:56 I used to have a bit but it was just whenever fucking you know whenever you're hanging out with stories they go if you could be any animal what would you be and the answer is always human like there's no animal that I'm fucking jealous of like I wouldn't
Starting point is 00:17:09 want to be a polar bear I'm like really you want that the whole act was just me being a fucking polar bear and realising that
Starting point is 00:17:16 my entire fucking existence is just chasing a group of other animals and not to kill the strongest one like I'm not an alpha I'm picking off
Starting point is 00:17:25 the smallest weakest penguin isolating a seal oh yeah isolating a fucking grandad one just ripping out all of his fucking guts
Starting point is 00:17:32 freezing cold water miserable miserable every day the land I live on gets fucking smaller but I'm not sure why I'm like
Starting point is 00:17:41 I fucking swear this was a bigger boat yesterday walking hundreds of miles to find a mate and the minute you find one you get battered by someone hotter But I'm not sure why. I'm like, I fucking swear this was a bigger boat yesterday. Walking hundreds of miles to find a mate and the minute you find one you get battered by someone harder.
Starting point is 00:17:51 And even if you win the fight you've just been in a fight with a polar bear. You can't be arsed by a shark anymore. It's not worth it. There might be some point
Starting point is 00:18:00 in your fucking future where you run into that because you don't help raise the kids right but you're wondering next winter you're fucking starving
Starting point is 00:18:08 you might have to eat your own son imagine just fucking bubbing hey you're the girl I banged last year how
Starting point is 00:18:15 are you and she holds up a baby and you're like fucking I am famished thank you so much for bringing this I was wondering
Starting point is 00:18:24 what I was going to eat I couldn't even get the runt of the seal that I have I'll tell wondering what I was going to eat. I couldn't even get the runt of the seal that I have. I'll tell you what, I'll slap you across the jaw. You go find another man and I'll just fucking
Starting point is 00:18:31 eat our baby together. You complained that you had to carry it for nine months. How about I carry it and send it to you? I put it in my belly for nine hours
Starting point is 00:18:38 and then have a shit. What other animals then? Oh, I wish I was a fucking eagle so I could soar and so I could fly and so I could eat worms and then spew them
Starting point is 00:18:47 into my baby's mouth oh I should have stopped with the soaring and flying can you imagine that your mom Denna oh god
Starting point is 00:18:56 she's just oh she's got to spew her mouse up I I'm halfway I have fucking I didn't ask to come into this world
Starting point is 00:19:02 why are you spewing a mouse open to me God I used to have another bit that I couldn't ever get fucking working
Starting point is 00:19:11 which was you know all those man versus nature shows man versus nature who will win
Starting point is 00:19:17 man we've won there's no Arctic left like just because somebody occasionally
Starting point is 00:19:24 dies in the Amazon doesn't mean we are not fucking owning the Amazon. We're dropping those fucking trees down. We're gutting it. If we threw all 7, 8 billion people at the Amazon, it would probably be gone within fucking days, man. I mean, it'll be gone in a couple of years, and we're still conserving it.
Starting point is 00:19:43 To be Joe Rogan here, we'll mould on a sandwich. Who would win mould or sandwich? The sandwich isn't fighting back. The jokes that I couldn't really get fair in, ironically, was about women making bullets during World War I. The fact that we're proud of the fact that we're proud of is that women made the bullets during World War I working in factories. And that fact would never match up with the first fact that we're proud of. I can't remember the exact
Starting point is 00:20:16 start, but I had the exact start for the thing where it was something like half the bullets didn't go off. Obviously, it's probably because of the gun powder gets wet in transit. Yeah, it should be. The gun designs are anything literally mass produced
Starting point is 00:20:30 at a moment's notice it's not going to be it's now to deal with the women right it's like
Starting point is 00:20:34 that is I'm trying to imply that throughout the whole thing right but you do now that
Starting point is 00:20:39 somebody runs over the trenches they didn't want to get out of the trenches but they get
Starting point is 00:20:42 shot in the back off the road fucking general if they don't so they run an hour. They're going to die, right? They're just hoping that they get a kill first,
Starting point is 00:20:50 so they've made a contribution to the war effort, right? And they raise up their gun, and they look down the barrel of the rifle, and fucking get a jury in their sights. And then they can click. Oh, women. And then the side of their head comes off
Starting point is 00:21:06 no no just the German guy fires clicks and then just goes ah dammen oh yeah then they have like
Starting point is 00:21:13 a moment of solidarity like I tried different permutations of the joke where they were having moments of solidarity over just like the women working in the factories because it was happening
Starting point is 00:21:20 for the same for the Germans too it just it didn't need to be said that was the problem with the joke the problem was like shh just, it didn't need to be said. That was the problem with the joke. The problem was, like, shh, just stop talking about that. This isn't helping. Yeah, also, women have also been,
Starting point is 00:21:32 are normally the butts of the joke in fucking comedy clubs from lazy comics. So a lot of the time, people misinterpret it. You go, no, no, no, there's layers to this. Don't get me wrong. The base is, is like I'm obviously being sexist but I'm trying
Starting point is 00:21:47 to do it in such a subversive way I'm trying to say that there would have been a sexist man at the time that had that attitude well man the other
Starting point is 00:21:54 thing is one bit fucking comrade is I'm and it's so hard to do sometimes the hardest bits to do are when you play the
Starting point is 00:22:01 fucking asshole right because if I mean especially with the shows that we've done where we do like fucking progressive jokes or shows with fucking messages it means occasionally you can't just fucking step back and go
Starting point is 00:22:13 I've got jokes in this year's show where I'm very clearly just I'm going to say the worst thing that I don't fucking mean and people go oh but normally you're so nice and correct and I'm like aye but I like being the aye I like being a like aye but I like being there aye I like being a I like being dark
Starting point is 00:22:27 and edgy sometimes it's like it's a cliche thing to say as a comedian it really is but sometimes you like just testing that line for me comedy was always
Starting point is 00:22:36 if you can justify the unjustifiable that's funny like if you can take something like Bill Burr is a master of it, just in a sense. He's going to say something that nobody agrees with.
Starting point is 00:22:48 Like, for example, he's got a bit about why he hates dogs. He's like, I fucking hate dogs. And obviously nobody apart from you hates dogs. Whoa! And it was... You're going to exaggerate everything. I'm 45, I hate dogs. Look, I'm 37, nearly 38,
Starting point is 00:23:03 and I hate the listener's dog. The person listening to this, you as an individual. I can't love your dog the way you do. But you eventually... That hurt people, by the way. You know that. You know that hurt people.
Starting point is 00:23:19 Well, it's nice of you to do it on a non-Patreon episode, starting tagging random on these members. But eventually get Frank to this fucking bit where he's got his own dog and he loves it and I think it's brilliant. I'm like, that's really good because you took the audience from something
Starting point is 00:23:35 that they all fundamentally disagreed with and through language and words and faulty but like seemingly logical arguments you manage to get them fucking on your site that's great if you can say
Starting point is 00:23:49 something horrendous and then get people to fucking laugh at it that's great but he's got he's got some really like
Starting point is 00:23:56 the stuff that you just can't agree with but it's funny that he's saying it like there's stuff about Rihanna and who was it Chris Brown Chris Brown attacked that for no reason he's like no reason he shouldn't have done it like there's stuff about Rihanna and who was it Chris Brown
Starting point is 00:24:05 Chris Brown attacked that for no reason he shouldn't have done it but he didn't just start hitting it he was like
Starting point is 00:24:11 I can think of seven reasons right now and I'm not even drunk and that's his approach to the whole thing
Starting point is 00:24:15 was that shouldn't have done it there's probably a reason it didn't need to be said you're looking
Starting point is 00:24:21 at that guy you don't need to be joking about that really and you can see why some people have went
Starting point is 00:24:25 off him because of it but I like that he goes there I like that he tries to find comedy from them positions it's also like I think he goes to the same
Starting point is 00:24:33 fucking problem that Jim Jefferies often like suffers which is you don't get to pick your fucking fans now don't get me wrong like one thing I will say against them
Starting point is 00:24:42 is you do curate your fans like you do whatever jokes you do bring a certain fucking audience right and they come and they fucking enjoy like people will what men some men will watch jim jeffries do a bunch of anti-woman shit and they'll just be laughing at the fact that he's saying horrible shit about women ignoring the fact that most of the time he's the fucking butt of the joke or he's being this but sometimes I think with comics like
Starting point is 00:25:07 that you could have a fucking bit more responsibility where you go right look now let's fucking take a step back and I don't actually fucking think this
Starting point is 00:25:14 and I think Bard doesn't do enough of that like he'll sit there and say fucking things and people will fucking laugh and I'm like man
Starting point is 00:25:21 I know 75% of the audience are laughing because it's funny but 25% are not getting the irony in your joke they're just laughing at fuck women and I do think sometimes you have to take fucking responsibility there and go it's my job to make sure that the bad people aren't laughing at the wrong bits of this fucking joke because otherwise you give them the confidence to it's like using fucking VR words
Starting point is 00:25:47 in public like I'll happily use that word in private conversation I'd never do it publicly because I cannot trust that other
Starting point is 00:25:53 people won't use it in fucking horrendous ways like they won't you know you do about I had I don't know
Starting point is 00:26:02 it was when I first started out I realised that these people were in the audience right I used to do a joke about when I worked at the sports't know it was when I first started out I realised that these people were in the audience right I used to do a joke about when I worked
Starting point is 00:26:07 at the sports centre and it was based on a real poster right where they've got the child running and I'll say no running like a cartoon of a child
Starting point is 00:26:14 and then I'll be like the one kid they've coloured in brown for diversity purposes which was true there was one kid on this whole poster with like 12 different
Starting point is 00:26:21 rules on one kid they coloured in brown for diversity purposes was told no bombing right and I had a few punchlines that
Starting point is 00:26:26 come off the back of that joke right and somebody saw us after the gig and started blowing smoke
Starting point is 00:26:35 at my arse and telling us it was a great gig and then he was like oh man I love the one about the
Starting point is 00:26:38 pack here at the swim pool I was like that's not what the joke was that's not what the joke was man
Starting point is 00:26:43 didn't mean saying that didn't mean doing that that didn't mean to didn't mean to say that to me I was like fuck you fuck you mate my eyes widened on him
Starting point is 00:26:51 I was like no no this isn't who I am as a comic like they don't take they don't take that at face value
Starting point is 00:26:57 they're laughing at their fucking inadvertent racism from somebody who had one job that's what the joke is the joke is they were trying to be inclusive
Starting point is 00:27:05 and they actually made it way fucking nice yeah fuck man and I guess the bigger you are and the more
Starting point is 00:27:12 widespread you are and the more people get to see your stuff the more people like that in the audience you're gonna get to
Starting point is 00:27:18 follow you aye and don't be wrong I do think you know comics are allowed to always not hide my but always use the
Starting point is 00:27:27 thing of it's just a joke. And I fucking agree all the time. It's just a joke. It's a joke. If a man or a woman said the fucking joke into a microphone in a comedy club, it was a fucking joke. But on the other side of fucking things, if you're hiding behind it's just a joke all the time, you're not putting effort into your jokes. If you're one def it's just a joke all the time you're not putting your pepper into
Starting point is 00:27:45 your jokes if you're one defences of just kidding you're like right well just because you're just kidding doesn't automatically make it
Starting point is 00:27:51 fucking funny yeah you like I'll absolutely forgive myself immediately for a swing and a miss aye right as long as
Starting point is 00:27:59 like you grow from it and learn from it and try not to swing and a miss try and try and land more frequently aye yeah
Starting point is 00:28:06 just make sure that you're like if you if you say something I mean man I've done fucking plenty of jokes where you know
Starting point is 00:28:12 in hindsight they were types of phobic that I'm no longer fucking proud of like man I used to do a lot of fat shaming jokes
Starting point is 00:28:19 yeah and now that I'm not happy I'm not going to go back and fucking delete them and I'm also not going to do a fucking apology to her off the back of it but what I will do happy I'm not going to go back and fucking delete them and I'm also not
Starting point is 00:28:25 going to do a fucking apology to her off the back of it but what I will do is I'll not do jokes about fucking
Starting point is 00:28:30 fat people anymore because I'm just like what's the fucking point and also they're giving her a hard enough time
Starting point is 00:28:35 grow in that sense and go what am I going to talk about fucking this year who is the butts of my jokes here
Starting point is 00:28:42 and have they been the butt of the joke for most of their fucking life that's why I saw somebody peddling themselves as a right wing comedian
Starting point is 00:28:50 the right wing comedian that was in the fucking banners on the video and I clicked on the video he was just fat shaming I was like
Starting point is 00:28:55 that's not what right wing is it's not a political opinion you're just being an arsehole to people right wing comics aren't right wing
Starting point is 00:29:02 comics they're just fucking people that want to be able to say fucking mong and retard and spastic and faggot and all these other fucking horrible things again. And they want to just hide behind the guys and say, oh, I'm just joking. And you go, man, you're allowed to just be joking. But people are always allowed to look at your jokes and go, those are shit. And they're not laughing.
Starting point is 00:29:18 They're not not laughing at the jokes because they're necessarily more sensitive. But it's because your jokes were funny 35 fucking years ago like you've not updated none of what you're saying is new or challenging like you don't have to fucking be progressive you just have to in fact i would argue that it's probably easier to be a right-wing comic at the moment right because well even though we've got fucking right-wing government and comedy is inherently about speaking truth to fucking power there is power on the left with air quotes, cancel culture
Starting point is 00:29:47 and fucking whatnot. Man, you can challenge those people's thoughts in ways that are funnier than what you're fucking doing it.
Starting point is 00:29:55 But you can't do it because you're just shit. You're just a shit fucking comic who wants to fucking do racist jokes. And you want to just say
Starting point is 00:30:04 shitty things about people you hate because you're fucking sad on the inside. Because you're not a good comic. There's a lot of, like, sneering towards woke coming from that angle. Anybody that's sat on that side of the fence is, like, acting like, you know,
Starting point is 00:30:18 the buzzwords like woke and snowflakes and shit like that. Like, are you, like, are you trying to tear down empathy and compassion is that your angle well i think that i think that like you know man i get it we first of all there's no there's no it's cancel culture is this big thing there's no cancel culture mob by the way it's not like the nazis there's not like a group of them it's not like there's tories and there's a group of tories and they're fucking charged
Starting point is 00:30:45 but they'll do the same thing. It's like the way the American fucking propaganda works when they, they'll talk about socialists. They'll never show you
Starting point is 00:30:51 the socialists. They'll never show you the communists but it's just this big oogie fucking boogie boogie man that's just out there that's this fucking evil. It's not tangible.
Starting point is 00:31:00 Aye. Oh, there's cancel culture out there. Oh, I get what you mean. There's a bunch of instances where people were called on their shit and some of it was right and some of it was absolutely fucking wrong.
Starting point is 00:31:11 But don't pretend it's the same people every fucking time. Like, it's a mindset that a group of people have. And also, if you want to ignore it, get the fuck off of Twitter. It's impossible to be fucking cancelled, like unless you're like a rapist or a fucking murderer, you've done something genuinely against the
Starting point is 00:31:30 law. It's impossible to be cancelled if you're not online. It's impossible. It's just like Cameron James said on the fucking podcast a while ago there was a comic and it's a host of the project out of Australia
Starting point is 00:31:45 and he got cancelled for a comic he made a while ago but he's not on Twitter and just the makeup artist
Starting point is 00:31:52 was like oh how you doing he's like yeah fine he's like you've been cancelled
Starting point is 00:31:57 and he was like oh okay and then went to his job have me cereal go to work make love to me
Starting point is 00:32:03 wife you just wait on a fucking website and you read all the horrible comics and I know that plays against your mind you weren't cancelled you were yelled at
Starting point is 00:32:12 for a shit joke and there's many different ways to react to it you can go I'm going to keep fucking telling the joke and nobody's stopping
Starting point is 00:32:18 you doing it you're not not being booked in comedy clubs because of your joke you're not being booked in comedy clubs because you're not in the top 20% of comedians
Starting point is 00:32:27 and as well like people can stop finding you funny if they see your true nature so if you get someone like Louis CK who's telling the jokes that he tells they're not as funny if you know there's a bad man behind them yeah you know what I mean like Bill Burr gets away with it because he's sound
Starting point is 00:32:44 and he can tell his sound, so he can tackle anything and go down dangerous places because you're not really... You know it's not really him. Yeah, he's just such a heightened fucking character. But when, like, Louis C.K., all the things that he was funny about, you know, he was a gross man
Starting point is 00:32:57 and it was always just this hidden, insular shame that he had. And then you realise it wasn't insular, it was actually out in public. And you go, Oh, motherfucker, no! And this is the thing. I'll fucking say this on the podcast. Any American comedian, and I mean literally any of them,
Starting point is 00:33:16 that say they didn't know what Louis C.K. was up to during the years is full of fucking shit. Oh, really? Wasn't that open? Man, I went to fucking Just for Laughs comedy festival in 2000
Starting point is 00:33:27 and I'm going to say 10 or 11 and me, like at this point, like man, I'm just doing 10s and 15s. Like I'm not doing my fucking show.
Starting point is 00:33:36 I'm not fucking big. I heard the fucking rumours then. I was told the fucking stories then and I was a nobody from Scotland. If I knew what he was up to Scotland if I knew what he was up to fucking everyone knew what he was up to you weren't getting the hot scoop in the green room
Starting point is 00:33:50 that was fucking on every single wall of every single comedy club it's the same reason that everyone knows that James Corden is a fucking cunt and that Peter Kay is a cunt these are stories that exist on the fucking circuit you get it from staff at venues
Starting point is 00:34:05 yeah like everyone fucking knows oh I can't believe James Gordon's an arsehole yes you fucking can what are you anyone that's worked with him says he's a fucking arsehole
Starting point is 00:34:13 anyone that's worked with Peter Kay will tell you there are so many horror stories of these people on the fucking circuit that when it finally goes public
Starting point is 00:34:22 people and this is where I might agree with some of the fucking writer comics I'm like look at you virtue signal
Starting point is 00:34:27 and pretending you didn't fucking know I'm like you fucking knew man aye yes
Starting point is 00:34:33 who do you want to get cancelled next we're talking about this so much oh Pasco I love the theory she's a bully or something like that
Starting point is 00:34:44 she's being really really fucking abusive and manipulating and fucking runners at shows or whatever. I see. I love it. I get fun, dude. She's probably sound. She's probably an absolute darling. Well, my one nice story about Sarah Baskin,
Starting point is 00:34:59 the reason I liked her for years and years, was when we were at Latitude Festival one year like I was with her and a bunch of other comics and we were just sat down and she was like do you want to do a pill? And I was like yeah I'll do a fucking pill
Starting point is 00:35:17 so she went and she got us both pills and I did one, she did one and about 45 minutes later I was like fucking hell he's a strong one and she was like you didn't do a full one did you? and I did one she did one and I'm like 45 minutes later I was like fucking hell these are strong and she was like you didn't do a full one did you and I was like yes
Starting point is 00:35:28 she was like I said only do half and I'm like fuck and she went I don't want to win it and then popped the second half and then she had the other half
Starting point is 00:35:35 where and I was like alright that's a good that's alright maybe she's just a drug addict alright buy that old belly of steel
Starting point is 00:35:42 buying drugs off a teenager there we are watching the one show like I do I've got a fucking fascination with like cancellations
Starting point is 00:35:54 and stuff just because I do you know it's such a weird fucking public trial fucking
Starting point is 00:36:01 that we do like you know I don't want to use the fucking term witch hunts because like using the term witch hunt
Starting point is 00:36:07 is inherently wrong really trivialises what was actually happening back then the word murder and women yeah yeah the reason witch hunts
Starting point is 00:36:14 is a horrible term is because witches don't and never have existed so what a witch hunt actually is is killing women
Starting point is 00:36:21 that can do maths aye it's killing innocent fucking people because of just their fucking opinions and that's not what any of you
Starting point is 00:36:30 are going for you're not being fucking witched hunt you're being called a cunt because you are a cunt now don't get me wrong you have a right to be a fucking cunt
Starting point is 00:36:38 but you don't have a right to fucking stage time or success you're comparing this with being thrown in a river and if you drown you're comparing this with being thrown in a river and if you drown you're innocent and if you float
Starting point is 00:36:49 you're a witch and you're gonna get burned aye you're comparing that to not being able to say spastic
Starting point is 00:36:56 do you know like wait a minute I might have told this on the podcast already but do you know
Starting point is 00:37:03 when the last witch air quotes was was punished on the podcast already but do you know when the last witch, air quotes, was punished in Scotland? Oh, alright, like 1600,
Starting point is 00:37:14 late 1600s or something. 1918. Oh wow. But for really good reasons. So during World War II, Can't wait to hear this. She flew by on a broomstick. She was part of the German bomber she was on. so during World War 2 can't wait to hear this she flew behind
Starting point is 00:37:25 a broomstick she was part of the German bomber she was on the she was on the back of the fucking broom she was cackling
Starting point is 00:37:32 with her Luftwaffe she basically during World War 1 I'm pretty sure it was people what's the
Starting point is 00:37:41 Auschwitz fuck you fuck you fuck you that was World War 2 but good joke during World War 1 obviously there was just mass amounts
Starting point is 00:37:54 of fucking men dying and there was a lots of there were lots of fucking widows right and there was this
Starting point is 00:37:59 woman who was Scottish widows Scottish Scottish widows is where they started she was offering like
Starting point is 00:38:08 fucking seances and taking money off of fucking widows being like I can talk to your husband from beyond the grave if you give me 20 bob
Starting point is 00:38:15 30 fucking bob whatever and she would just make shut up and she was just scamming grieving fucking people and like the local government were so fucking
Starting point is 00:38:24 or was she offering them some kind of relief and solace and consolation? No, she was profiting off of it. She was profiting off of it. Profiting off of it. However you look at it. You could have done it for free
Starting point is 00:38:32 and then I guess it's fine. It's like fucking Mystic Megs horoscopes. But you're a liar. You know you're a fucking charlatan. You know what you're doing is not real. You're scamming people
Starting point is 00:38:41 based on their grief. Yeah, you're scamming vulnerable fucking people during a war when everyone's going through fucking abject poverty is
Starting point is 00:38:48 fucking well by the way. But they couldn't fucking punish her for this. Like a Tory donor. But because they
Starting point is 00:38:56 hadn't changed the laws on witches they just stopped burning them. But the law had never been fucking deleted that you could punish a
Starting point is 00:39:02 woman for some form of witchcraft they're like are you actually talking to the dead so they let her have it of course I am they're like good
Starting point is 00:39:09 you're in fucking jail you fucking witch and she was like no no it's a no I'm a cunt no I am a witch oh fuck no
Starting point is 00:39:17 you're like what's the smallest sentence what's the smallest sentence on being a witch or being a con artist I'll tell you what the fucking shortest sentence is fuck off you cunt no I'm fucking small sentence on being a witch or being a con artist. I'll tell you what the fucking shortest sentence is. Fuck off, you cow.
Starting point is 00:39:27 Aye. I'm fucking, eh. I think we should do that more, man. Anyone that fucking, I love that law. Let's keep that. Anyone that claims to fucking talk to ghosts. Man, you're a witch. You're a witch.

Starting point is 00:39:47 like it's dangerous you can talk to the fucking dead it's possible you could go work for the fucking enemy and you talk to like our dead people from beyond the grave and work out where all the fucking
Starting point is 00:39:56 nuclear codes are or all the fucking bases are we have to lock you away because you're too fucking powerful unless you admit that you're a fucking charlat you admit that you're a fucking charlatan then you

Starting point is 00:45:58 and you fucking go to that audience stop lying to me and being like oh it's a musical you're singing all the time it's such a weird thing for it to get vexed
Starting point is 00:46:05 about man man I hate it just constantly singing just stop and just like fucking I like
Starting point is 00:46:12 normal musicals like fucking Moana Moana yes all the fucking Disney ones all classics we will rock
Starting point is 00:46:20 yeah I know a lot of people give it a hard time but I think it's actually fucking fairly decent Book of Mormon real fucking good
Starting point is 00:46:25 and I'm sure there's other musicals I would go out there everyone's talking about Jamie I've not seen it but I imagine
Starting point is 00:46:30 I'd fucking love it how fucking dare you sing the entire fucking stop it what are you doing like I remember trying to watch
Starting point is 00:46:38 The Greatest Showman right Cara fucking loves it my younger cousins fucking love it oh it's when they're like they try and do like little links where they're just
Starting point is 00:46:44 having a conversation with each other and they're just having a conversation with each other and they're just singing oh no I'm sad I'm not going to walk to the shop just walk to the stop singing
Starting point is 00:46:51 fucking scene settings you can actually just chat your way through this bit oh it's fucking build it up Hamilton shite lame as shite
Starting point is 00:46:59 Hamilton was piping hot garbage when we watched it like honestly I think it's pretty talented Hamilton oh oh don't be wrong
Starting point is 00:47:08 that everyone in it is talented and every part but just because talent was involved at every level doesn't mean it's still not piping hot fucking garbage
Starting point is 00:47:17 I think it's well written it's catchy I imagine most of the people who wrote on Phoenix Nights were probably talented it's still piping hot fucking garbage right it's just doesn't matter how many sometimes a bunch of talented people who wrote on Phoenix Nights were probably talented. It's still piping hot fucking garbage. Right?
Starting point is 00:47:25 It's just, it doesn't matter how many, sometimes, a bunch of talented people just make fucking shit. Undigestible fucking shit. And fuck, man, I love the history of America.
Starting point is 00:47:36 I find it fucking fascinating. When I heard the concept of Hamilton, I'm like, you're gonna, through song, explain to me independence in America. Brilliant. You're gonna rap it as well, explain to me independent America. Brilliant.
Starting point is 00:47:46 You're going to rap it as well. I like rap. This is, oh, it's the whole, oh, God. You know, Natalie pointed something out about, she was like, oh, one day after a couple of hundred years of time, they just did a fucking stage show where the big up Matt Hancock, after he cheated on his wife. Because that's what happens in Hamilton, isn't it? It's like he fucking cheats on his missus.
Starting point is 00:48:04 I think it was fine back then he has the the Reynolds pamphlet where he fucking makes an announcement about it basically he has his dirty laundry
Starting point is 00:48:12 on Facebook but of the 1800s aye but with the fucking printing press aye em fucking
Starting point is 00:48:20 Catherine Ryan had a fucking bit about that I'm gonna butcher it was the bit about, you know, there's a song in it. You've seen it, right?
Starting point is 00:48:27 Aye. You know, Natalie forced us to watch it on the worst night you could ever force. Like, to make me enjoy Hamilton, there's a certain scenario.
Starting point is 00:48:36 You give me half a bottle of wine, we've had a fucking steak dinner, and you told me in the morning I was going to be watching fucking Hamilton. What you don't do is while we're all on coke
Starting point is 00:48:46 go do you want to I'm putting it on and just putting it on and nobody else in the room wanted on apart from Cara who was blind drunk and Elliot was like
Starting point is 00:48:56 has Cara seen Hamilton before? and I was like no he's like she's singing the song she's singing along I'm like she's not singing the songs she's just she's making the noises there was I'm like she's not singing the songs she's just she's making the noises and
Starting point is 00:49:06 there was a song Calday where he's like how am I supposed to say no to this and that's what he's singing about like I can't turn down this offer
Starting point is 00:49:14 off this girl when he's away from home and Calvin Ryan was like you said it you just said no you just said no and he starts to sing but he's got two kids
Starting point is 00:49:23 called Philip do you know how many kids you're going to have if you're going to have two of them you've run out of all of
Starting point is 00:49:29 them look up my bits so that I haven't just butchered it it's a very funny bit about Hamilton
Starting point is 00:49:33 but that's exactly like it would be like just now looking back on this pandemic releasing a
Starting point is 00:49:38 musical and fucking glamorising Matt Hancock aye well you know what I get what
Starting point is 00:49:44 you're saying but like these people like despite their fucking like transgressions in their family life
Starting point is 00:49:50 arguably depending on what's actually wrong did fucking good things for the country Matt Hancock's not done anything positive for the country
Starting point is 00:49:56 nah and that's what that's what I feel like infuriating the left at the minute is that he's done so many
Starting point is 00:50:04 more reprehensible things than the thing he's getting it's it's the fucking capone getting done for tax evasion isn't it he's fucking he's already there's debt there's blood on his hands just fucking public money in other people's pockets did you see do you see the stupid cunts that were just like fucking you see all these fucking lefties all year long they tell you what a fucking rag the sun is but now that the sun's exposed Matt Hancock, they're like they fucking love the song no cunts were grateful that he was fucking exposed
Starting point is 00:50:32 in the same way that I don't like guns but you see the gun that killed Hitler that was a class gun that was a really good gun I'm a fan of that gun. I hope it's never used again and I don't think gun should be legal in this fucking country. But I'm not going to deny
Starting point is 00:50:50 for a second that that gun, class gun. But if the sun got after that, nonce. Aye. It's just this idea, oh, so you fucking hate this thing and then they're on your side. First of all, they're not on my side. They finally did something instead of fucking harassing Meghan Markle. And don't get me wrong, I'm also not the biggest fucking Meghan Markle fan just because, man, you can't marry a prince and be like,
Starting point is 00:51:13 why is everyone looking at me? Come on, I get it, I get it. In an ideal world, in an ideal fucking world, you wouldn't be getting the fucking attention. But don't act... I was on the motorway and I got hit by a car as a married
Starting point is 00:51:26 man I'm not a big enough believer in fucking the one true love to think that there wasn't other options in the route she went
Starting point is 00:51:32 down right she was in suits man she was in horrible bosses like she she had options right and
Starting point is 00:51:39 by and look you love you love fucking Harry I fucking grate for you but I do walking into
Starting point is 00:51:44 a wood chip oh my god this wood chip. Oh, my God. Ah, this wood chip. I was mincing the pieces. We're victim blaming. It's what we're doing. Aye. This is a wrong approach, guys.
Starting point is 00:51:55 I don't think it's fucking victim blaming. I think it's... Like, I don't... Just because you get bad publicity and horrendous fucking publicity... Also, doesn't mean you're a great person. Like, I'm not. I don person like I'm not I don't care about him I don't care about Prince
Starting point is 00:52:08 Harry I would like to know nothing fucking about them right and I get it you're getting a lot of fucking press and negative fucking attention what I'd suggest you don't do though is go to the biggest television show in the world and complain about publicity like I do get the rights complaint about that I do get why they
Starting point is 00:52:24 see hypocrisy they're like you went on fucking Oprah Oprah no that's banned I've done this but then again maybe I should just
Starting point is 00:52:34 shut the fuck up about what we're going to cover going through maybe I should just fucking as a white man sit down and shut my goddamn mouth
Starting point is 00:52:39 yes that was a good closure on that topic I think fucking good anyway back to broads back to
Starting point is 00:52:49 the fucking eye the sun like people the fucking watermark they're shooting that photo the fucking
Starting point is 00:52:56 they're they're fucking I hate the fucking sun man it was like when the Daily Mail went out and everyone celebrated
Starting point is 00:53:02 I'm like you know he owns you know he's still there like Murdoch just changed he just moved all those fucking writers imagine writing for the Sun and then with a
Starting point is 00:53:12 straight face telling your parents you're a journalist honestly like it must be I remember when literally before I started fucking comedy when I was still in high school like I'd watch comedy
Starting point is 00:53:27 every day I'd buy fucking VHS's off of eBay of like fucking Alan Davies and obviously I'd just consume and then the next day
Starting point is 00:53:34 I'd go to school and I'd just fucking repeat all of the fucking jokes that I was doing to my friends and that was just me fucking learning and that was me
Starting point is 00:53:42 telling people I was a stand up I wasn't a stand up I was doing the literal lowest version of fucking learning and that was me telling people I was a stand-up. I wasn't a stand-up. I was doing the literal lowest version of fucking comedy and being like, I'm a comedian. That's a tabloid journalist. Like, you're not a journalist. The only research you've done is,
Starting point is 00:53:59 who does my audience hate? I'm going to find someone off that elk and I'm going to spin a story to make them look because all I'm here to do is to st elk and I'm going to spin a story to make them look because all I'm here to do is to stoke a fucking fire because it keeps me fucking warm
Starting point is 00:54:09 and it keeps my toes fucking warm the fucking go do you know there was somebody I saw somebody posted a
Starting point is 00:54:16 like a lower what's the word like not the centre of attention news story about the fucking track and trace of last something like 500 the centre of attention news story about the fucking track and trace
Starting point is 00:54:25 have lost something like 500 million cases of COVID have fell through the cracks with the track and trace system this 37 billion pound
Starting point is 00:54:31 fucking system has lost all this and somebody posted like this is the news story that they're trying to cover up by diverting attention to the kids
Starting point is 00:54:39 right and I read that and I'm like this is how bad society is now you wouldn't even need to cover up that story
Starting point is 00:54:46 people would still fucking vote for the cunts you'd definitely need to cover that story as bad as it is you'd definitely need to cover that up
Starting point is 00:54:54 with a fucking execution I just think the fucking the fact that tabloids get to lie and then seven days later get to admit all they have to do
Starting point is 00:55:03 legally is admit it was a lie on page 97. Be like, oh, that thing we said about this person wasn't true. Soz. And you're like, nobody reads that, motherfucker. Like, if you print a lie, you should legally have to on the front fucking page. Yeah, give up one of your day's news pages.
Starting point is 00:55:19 Sorry, we got this wrong. Here's all the things we fucking got wrong. We fibbed to your fucking face. You don't just get to the fucking end of after you've done the segment on a fucking
Starting point is 00:55:27 squirrel that's learnt how to jet ski and now that you're all gone just to let you know it turns out that none
