Starting point is 00:00:00 alright just getting a rushed intro done so that I can put this up before I watch the game because whatever happens I'm not going to be in a fit state to do any of this tomorrow so here's your Monday podcast very early on a Sunday I don't know you can maybe use it to kill some time before 8 o'clock or
Starting point is 00:00:16 you can just listen to it midweek but I'm putting it up now so I can disappear off the fucking grid. Kiss, kiss, kiss. We're magicians and cynical. Just muggled it up on fucking Mugglopedia. Where have you been since 9-11? And we are back on the road once again. How did you sleep last night, Cream? Ugh. I mean, well, for like the first five hours, six hours. Not even for me, because I stayed up watching Invincible,
Starting point is 00:01:02 and we'll talk about that in a minute. Aye, so we came back from Portsmouth which was a fucking brilliant gig. It was the first one we've done in a while where obviously restrictions are lifting a bit more and more so for the past let's say two months we've been gigging to
Starting point is 00:01:17 like 25-30% capacity which is, you know, it is what it is and the audiences, they are always just fucking... We're getting excited because this was near a 50. Aye, 50% Near a half full. There were 600 people in and And they gave it large, didn't they?
Starting point is 00:01:34 It was one of them where, like, on the offstage mic announcement they were big. Aye. So I was like, oh, like Anytime they laugh at my shit patter from the offstage mic, you're like this is going to be a fun gig. Do you know what? I prefer my job when I'm not needed. You know what I mean? Like when I don't need to meet them on a level and then
Starting point is 00:01:50 build them up for bringing you on. When I can just get on and it's just instantly a gig. And I didn't expect that because Portsmouth is a shithole. But it wasn't yesterday. It wasn't yesterday. I don't know if it's got better or if the sun was shining.
Starting point is 00:02:05 Or because now that we're sort of at a further stage in our career. We're in a nicer theatre whereas we're in a bit of a grungy rock venue the first time we're there. Whereas now we're just going to sort of nicer places and it was just, it was like clearly near the university campus. Which must be devastating to tell your parents you got into Portsmouth Uni. You would tell them you got into uni first, wouldn't you? Aye. When would you soften the blow? And then you would say Portsmouth.
Starting point is 00:02:31 Aye. I'm off to university. Oh, my God. Well, you wouldn't do it the other way around, would you? I got into Portsmouth. I got into Portsmouth University. Football team. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:39 What are you studying? Men's studies. Oh, God. So, because we didn't stay in Portsmouth, studying men's studies oh god so because I was going to we didn't stay in Portsmouth we're in Leicester
Starting point is 00:02:48 right now we're backstage just before the Leicester gig we've got a lot to live up to by the way I told them
Starting point is 00:02:54 they've got it in them nah can't so I had to drive back to London where we stayed
Starting point is 00:03:00 because it was hot halfway here and you got absolutely fucking mullet on whiskey alright well Sid came down and I've not seen Sid in a bit and he was like I can't drink too much because I was hot halfway here and you got absolutely fucking mullered on whiskey alright
Starting point is 00:03:05 well Sid came down and I've not seen Sid in a bit and he was like I can't drink too much because I'm driving and I was like alright well I'm going to ignore that
Starting point is 00:03:12 and I'm just going to fucking drink and then like I had like half a bottle of whiskey and then some venues just don't do the fucking rider
Starting point is 00:03:21 you forget there's a rider so I walked to the stage and there's two gin and tonics there and I'm like well they poured them so this is this is how drunk you were I don't know if fucking rider. You forget there's a rider. So I walked to the stage and there's two gin and tonics there and I'm like, well, they poured them. So this is how drunk you were. I don't know if you'll remember this,
Starting point is 00:03:29 right? We watched an episode of Invincible in your room when we got back to the hotel and then you put your toothpaste on your toothbrush to brush your teeth, right?
Starting point is 00:03:38 And then I went to grab your toothpaste so that I could use it, take it back to my room and use it because I didn't travel well anymore. Right? Because I'm a fucking idiot and I didn't travel well anymore. I'm a fucking idiot and I didn't travel
Starting point is 00:03:45 well anymore I went and grabbed the toothpaste but he didn't realise what I was doing and he gave us a hug he hugged us at the door because I went and
Starting point is 00:03:54 reached past him for the toothpaste it was like the fucking Tony Stark Spider-Man scene in the car when he was getting the door handle
Starting point is 00:04:01 he was like alright come Tony we're all emotional Val had a whiskey except me and then at fucking 6.30 in the morning the fire alarm went off
Starting point is 00:04:15 and I fucking hate fire alarms because I'm going to say 99.99999% of the time it's not a fucking fire it's never a fucking fire 99.99999% of the time. Couple more nines. It's not a fucking fire. It's never a fucking fire. It's cried wolf so many times with me,
Starting point is 00:04:32 I'm going to definitely burn to death in this hell. All fire alarm drills in high school and primary school and at work teaches you is that it's never a fire and to slow down and that it's a waste of your fucking time, which is not the response. I've been through maybe, I'm going to say, 500 fire alarms in my life and none of them have ever been a fucking fire. So now when there's a genuinely
Starting point is 00:04:52 fire, I'm just not going to do it. I'm going to fucking enjoy the sauna and I'm going to go out in a blaze of smoke. Not in the way I wanted to. I noticed you didn't show up downstairs. I was downstairs with the fucking rest of the muggles. Well, because the first thing I wanted to do was just phone reception, just go, you know what, just turn it off.
Starting point is 00:05:08 You know it's not a fire. Just fucking turn it off. People are trying to fucking sleep. Turn it fucking off. But they'll be like, oh, sir, we've got to follow this safety procedures. And you're like, would it not be better if you had like a fucking fire alarm system that let you know exactly which fire alarm, which smoke detector's gone off, right? And then you send staff up there immediately
Starting point is 00:05:28 and then within two minutes you can fucking turn the alarm off and be like, right, whoever's in that room's kicked out because they've fucking set... They've got to go. If you set off the fire alarm and disrupt everybody's sleep in the hotel, which they're paying specifically to sleep in. Nobody's there because they just want to live their lives.
Starting point is 00:05:43 You're there because you need a bed. Right, and don't get me wrong, like, man, I've smoked in hotel rooms. I've understood that you want to fuck... Aye, but you're going into the bathroom,
Starting point is 00:05:51 you shut the door, you run the shower on hot. You put a sock over the fucking thing. We all know that... What kind of fucking monk is smoking in a hotel without knowing
Starting point is 00:06:00 how to not set off the fucking fire alarms? So it's like, mate, get out. Oh, but man, we just wanted to do it. Man, you fucked up. You just didn't do it right and you don't get to sleep in
Starting point is 00:06:10 this fucking hotel anymore. So finally, eventually, I start fucking pissing and moaning, start putting my fucking clothes on and then obviously the fire alarm goes off and I'm fucking immediately on the text to my liner being like, I'm not paying for this hotel. Like that. I paid for the hotel to get a fucking sleep I'm not paying for this hotel like that
Starting point is 00:06:25 I paid for the hotel to get a fucking sleep and I didn't get a fucking sleep therefore hotel didn't give me what I was offered I'm having a full fucking refund at this point
Starting point is 00:06:33 that must be a fucking nightmare for the hotel when they're like every cunt's gonna want a refund we've all just worked for nothing tonight because it's some
Starting point is 00:06:41 fucking douche bag get a better system that's it, isn't it? Aye, the staff aren't losing their fucking wages but the building
Starting point is 00:06:48 can absolutely lose its fucking wages. Get a better system. Here it is, silent alarm. Aye. Silent alarm that alerts the staff.
Starting point is 00:06:55 The staff can't take the measures to go and find out that it's absolutely a drill. Aye, which it always fucking is. Which it always is because even though you go,
Starting point is 00:07:04 oh, but them seconds could be valuable yeah but it's valuable that you fucking make and have this like kind of what's it called
Starting point is 00:07:11 Pavlov's dog is that the right use of it I don't think it is really the alarm rings it's not a fire it's like it's
Starting point is 00:07:17 telling me that there's not a fire it's just a drill every single time it does that and then that's going to take valuable seconds
Starting point is 00:07:24 off the time you need it. Aye, aye. Because nobody's rushing at the building. Like literally, when the alarm went off, I opened the door and it was just a bunch of people. And we were all just gauging each other's faces and being like, is anyone else leaving their fucking rooms for this fucking rigmarole? This shite that we know is not necessary?
Starting point is 00:07:40 And I saw a couple of people closing the door. And then while I was just getting back to bed with a pillow in my head, I heard other people leaving. And I was like, oh God, the door. And then while I was just getting back to bed with a pillow in my head, I heard other people like leaving. And I was like, oh God, I'll just have to fucking do it. And then it fucking went off. I was downstairs like a fucking mug. And I've started smoking again
Starting point is 00:07:57 because I'm just fucking nervous all the time because of the football. So I lit a cigarette on those two stairs at six in the morning fucking in me slacks having a smoke and they're like oh there he is
Starting point is 00:08:08 absolutely looked like it was me that was him that's him I wonder which way I felt like the sketch on I think you should leave
Starting point is 00:08:15 where he's the hot dog guy he smashed through the fucking door he's wearing a hot dog suit going which one did it have you watched the new season of that yet I have not
Starting point is 00:08:23 it was good well the thing is I love I not it was good well the thing is I love I think you should leave and the thing is there's the occasional as with all sketch shows there's the occasional sketch
Starting point is 00:08:33 which just doesn't tickle you it's like a bag of grapes and some of them are olives aye if supposing you don't like olives aye which you never do if you're expecting a grape
Starting point is 00:08:41 aye nobody's ever gone oh this was a nice surprise oh nice an olive like you've got to know you're having an olive to enjoy an olive. Aye.
Starting point is 00:08:47 So there's a couple of sketches in there that I imagine other people probably enjoy. Like, the show's not just for me. And our friends are in the first series. Aye, Chris Martin. Chris Martin. But the ones that bang,
Starting point is 00:09:00 bang fucking hard. Like, real, real good. Like, I'm excited to watch it again and go through it and just see if any of them fucking tickle me again in a different way. Have I just missed out on some good sketch comedy
Starting point is 00:09:16 or has it been a good while since those good sketches? Yeah, Antidona, sure, was good. Antidona, of course. That was good. It's so weird because they are sketch comedy but it just seems to be so like
Starting point is 00:09:27 weird like it's such a through arc aye they managed to keep the fucking story in there aye
Starting point is 00:09:32 I'm pretty sure there's other sketch comedy but just because like we don't watch much of it like I imagine we just don't
Starting point is 00:09:38 see the fucking the best of it I tell you what they need to give whitest kids you know a fucking sketch show again I haven't seen them I don't think you have they need to give whitest kids you know a fucking sketch show again I haven't seen them
Starting point is 00:09:46 I don't think you have they're the greatest one okay yeah aye are they the one where the white guy
Starting point is 00:09:52 is using the black guy to say the n-word where there's a white guy that's like speaking all gangster and every time he gets up
Starting point is 00:09:59 with a word that he can't say the black guy says it for him is that them I've not seen that sketch I can't tell you on Cane Peel
Starting point is 00:10:06 Aye Cane Peel Aye there's another fucking absolutely fucking biogothic I always love that I got to tell somebody about
Starting point is 00:10:13 the acid bitch sketch the other day I thought just everybody had seen that Aye because I thought it was Barry Casnola he said something about
Starting point is 00:10:20 that he'd sent to his missus and I went you said that though you really said that and he was like nah I didn't really say it but he just answered it Aye I was like wait a minute you don't know theus and I went you said that though you really said that and he was like nah I didn't really say it but he just answered this
Starting point is 00:10:26 and I was like wait a minute you don't know the sketch and I got to send him the link and then you get to be that
Starting point is 00:10:31 fucking I mean I hate when people do it to me but I always love being on the other side of the coin
Starting point is 00:10:35 when you get to introduce somebody to comedy and you spend half of the time watching them watching
Starting point is 00:10:41 the comedy to make sure that they laugh at the right bits otherwise they drop a whole bunch of ranks in your friendship rating
Starting point is 00:10:47 it's like an example really man it's the number one fucking I can remember when I was single and like
Starting point is 00:10:56 I'm just fucking shagging around and what not and afterwards just being a legend aye my number one fucking go to
Starting point is 00:11:02 for the ultimate fucking test is whether if this relationship is going any further was always Bo Burnham oh really yeah
Starting point is 00:11:09 and if they didn't like her they didn't laugh at her and I'm like fair enough everyone's entitled to their own opinion and my opinion is now I don't want to see you again
Starting point is 00:11:15 you probably couldn't do that now even though I think Bo Burnham's special is fucking brilliant there's some class bits in it you would just you would just have to
Starting point is 00:11:21 watch them and go aye I suppose I can see why you're looking at a blankly aye the new yeah with Insight I loved Insight
Starting point is 00:11:28 I thought it was fucking brilliant but I don't understand why some people are like because there was this like real like narrative from some people that like
Starting point is 00:11:34 it should be funny and it's not funny and if it's not funny it's not a comedy special like I fucking laughed loads at some bits that fucking white girl Instagram bit was amazing
Starting point is 00:11:42 I would agree it's not a stand up special I know but it's absolutely a stand up special I know but it's absolutely it is a fucking comedy special
Starting point is 00:11:49 and it's remarkable what he was able to do from his own fucking home with all the fucking
Starting point is 00:11:56 time he's just a very very talented person Cara passed all the tests but Cara's
Starting point is 00:12:00 good as well because she knows how much comedy is just my thing and it's my favourite thing in the world there'll be times
Starting point is 00:12:08 when I'll just fucking show her sketches and start up and it's not from her but she knows I just love watching again also the amount of times I've just made her watch
Starting point is 00:12:16 the same sketch again and she's like and she'll just fucking sit through it do you know that she's seen it before? by the end are you just forgetting
Starting point is 00:12:23 that you've shown her it? I always forget. I've got an appalling fucking memory. And she could, and she'd be well within her rights, to go, oi, dumb cunt, I've seen the It's Not About the Nails sketch, which is a brilliant sketch. So good.
Starting point is 00:12:36 A thousand times. But I always think the side of a fucking good partner is, man, we've repeat stories. We know. We fucking repeat stories. Aye, that's what this podcast is. Aye, that's all it is. We just don't fucking remember.
Starting point is 00:12:48 Anyway, we forget details, so we'll add new ones. The story that we told two years ago has now got backflips in it. Aye. Firebranders. Mixed it up. And I think a good partner is just the one.
Starting point is 00:12:58 And it goes both ways. But you just sit there and you go, I'm going to have to hear this tape story again. Lucia has heard Nick Cody's stories 17,000 times aye like
Starting point is 00:13:09 she's just fucking and that's she sits there and she smiles he's a good storyteller just enjoy them over and over aye just go
Starting point is 00:13:16 here we go it's like listen to a fucking good like I've never agreed with you know like you hone your stories on your partner
Starting point is 00:13:23 aye aye you're my whetstone aye you're my whetstone you're my whetstone but you're thoroughly dry at this point because you've heard this tale
Starting point is 00:13:30 so many times but thank you for letting me hone it I love you so much on the other side of things like I listen to her days like I've got genuinely I'm like
Starting point is 00:13:39 how was your day at work and she was like you don't care I'm like I do not about like what happened at work yeah I don't want the details I want to know
Starting point is 00:13:45 how you are within yourself aye but what made you passionate today and let's gripe about someone I've never met before because fucking I'm happy to get on your bandwagon and fucking hate
Starting point is 00:13:53 because so many times you've jumped on mine yeah I told you it was something yesterday that you lost your mind at it's the dumbest thing you've ever done
Starting point is 00:14:04 you know what? And this is coming two episodes after us talking about the fucking bull run. This is the dumbest thing you've ever fucking done I've ever been, like, I've ever heard you fucking do. It's balls to the wall stupid. It was very, very dangerous. In retrospect, I agree.
Starting point is 00:14:21 You're lucky to be alive. Well. Yeah. Aye. Aye. It was, like, I didn. You're lucky to be alive. Well. Yeah. Aye. Aye. It was, like, I didn't read the room. You didn't read the country! That's what I meant by the room.
Starting point is 00:14:34 You fucking, like, look, you live up in Scotland, you've got a Scottish fucking missus. I'm from Newcastle, so I get accepted as Scottish. You're a Scottish person, you've got lots of Scottish mates, and you fucking, like... And people forget I'm from Newcastle so I get accepted as Scottish as a Scottish person you've got lots of Scottish mates and you fucking like and people forget I'm English sometimes look if I was Nicholas Sturgeon I'd give you a Scottish
Starting point is 00:14:50 passport I'd be like he's done enough yeah they give us a vote you know you understand our culture you're one of the ones that you know
Starting point is 00:14:58 truly understands that you know that the Scottish just hate the English the Scottish just hate the English we just do historically Historically we hate them as a fucking... Like, one-on-one
Starting point is 00:15:08 we'll get on with the end groups, but as a concept. Yeah. As an idea. Yeah. But you're one of the few English people I know who is able to wrap your head around that concept and not get too wound up about it. Or so I thought. Well, Natalie
Starting point is 00:15:24 told us it was a bad idea before I left the house. But, and she is Scottish, so she should know. But basically, I'm going to London on, well, tonight. Aye. And I'm going to be watching the final on Sunday. And Natalie, for my birthday, ordered me an England top. So I didn't buy an England top. And it didn't arrive.
Starting point is 00:15:45 She bought it short. Did you order it from Sophology? Fucking yeah. Yeah, we didn't say their name. Like, I've got ties with them. Fucking bringing up my ex. I don't tie it with them anymore. So I fucking ordered an England top from Sophology.
Starting point is 00:16:04 And it shorted it before the from Sophology and it she ordered it before the quarter final and it didn't arrive she ordered it like for my birthday which was the
Starting point is 00:16:10 5th of July anyone asking for next year and I was like well I'm gonna need one for the England game and they're gonna
Starting point is 00:16:17 be sold out in England so I'll have to get one while I'm up here because no one's buying them up here nobody's selling them up here
Starting point is 00:16:23 that's what she said to me and I was like well fuck it I get that you definitely like the English now lad but you'd like
Starting point is 00:16:29 way to underplay it yeah they just they just don't like us that's it it's like you know it's tense because we're ex no
Starting point is 00:16:39 you're gonna take my money nope well let's just take this pride over money mate national pride over money mate national pride over
Starting point is 00:16:46 fucking money this is where the stereotype breaks down of Scottish people being tied because if that stereotype was true you're taking Englishman's money
Starting point is 00:16:54 for a bit of fucking rag aye right what you would see is an absolute fucking you wouldn't be paid to be seen in it and someone's offering you what I don't know how much
Starting point is 00:17:01 you're like 60 quid for it aye right so I got into Glasgow to look for a fucking England shirt I said toodle pip to my wife walking down, saucer in one hand
Starting point is 00:17:14 cup of tea in the other tycoon chap fucking gun slung over your back so you can go fox hunting afterwards this is how much I was fucking ready to sell me soul to the devil to get a fucking England shirt for the game right
Starting point is 00:17:26 because I went into Sports Direct Mike Ashley's shop I'm like the fucking that no moral having motherfucker is absolutely making a bunch of

Starting point is 00:17:55 I'm about to fucking kick your head in I'm genuinely going to go into my wallet and get the best friend cards and use it to let me fucking kick your head. Did you tell me not to fight back? Aye. What the fuck are you talking about? Sold it.
Starting point is 00:18:11 What the fuck? How long have you known me and this fucking country? Mate, listen. Right? I knew you hated it. I knew I was going to be met with disdain when I bought it, right? But it was like...
Starting point is 00:18:23 Here's an example. You went to Trump's inauguration just because you happened to be gigging in D.C. Yes, and I hate Mexicans. And yes, that also, but like, I'll delete that. So, you said there was a black guy selling MAGA hats.
Starting point is 00:18:39 Yeah, so it was me and Eric Lampere, we wanted to just try and find, because the media told us that all Trump fans were fucking racists and I tend not to believe the media and everything
Starting point is 00:18:48 wanted to go there and save him also we were convinced he was going to get shot like we were like if any president
Starting point is 00:18:56 gets fucking shot at the inauguration it's fucking this one polishing your rifle just forgetting that was a euphemism just really enjoying the thought of it
Starting point is 00:19:04 just forgetting that lefties are all c just really enjoying the thought of it just forgetting that lefties are all cucks and don't have any spine like a left wing president will get fucking shot in the head
Starting point is 00:19:10 a right wing will get boo stop it stop being mean chain yourself to a tree aye
Starting point is 00:19:19 and there was a black guy selling MAGA hats and I was like fuck it. Like, let's go talk to this guy. I'll buy a fucking hat. Well, I didn't go over the attention of buying a hat.
Starting point is 00:19:31 But I was like, do you actually support Trump? And he was like, nah, man. I'm just here to make money off of fucking idiots. And I'm like, sold. 100% sold. Here's 20 bucks. Keep the fucking change. Buy a MAGA hat made in China.
Starting point is 00:19:41 This is it. This is American capitalism. Yep. So that sat in my psyche. That there. What you just said there. I was like, yeah, of course. You're not going to turn up for a business opportunity to fleece the people you hate.
Starting point is 00:19:53 Aye. Right? And I was willing to be that person you hate, right? So I fucking, it's not in Sports Direct. Have a good route around. Keep spotting Newcastle tops. Go and have a look at them because the new ones are due out, right? They're like, Sports Direct might have them in advance.
Starting point is 00:20:04 Right. Like, that's a UV top, you're all Italian here so I'm like, alright, okay there's none left I can't, it's just Just to give some people who are not from Scotland some context every two years you can walk into, I'm going to say 90%
Starting point is 00:20:21 of stores sports stores in Scotland and you can buy the official national strips of the other three teams in England's group. Which was really hard for you this year,
Starting point is 00:20:35 considering you're in the same group. We're like, selling Czech Republic, like, we're not going to do well. You didn't need to sell Croatia tops because you already fucking had them from 2018 so I got into JD right
Starting point is 00:20:50 there's a quick glance around and it starts sinking in that I've probably fucking had a swing in this that you've gone into a butcher's for a salad Natalie was right
Starting point is 00:21:00 she usually is it's a general rule of thumb that like it's taken us a long time to learn, but I still test it. Aye. Well, you've got to have your own autonomy,
Starting point is 00:21:11 and sometimes there's an exception that proves the rule, and we live on that exception. So did we ever have the conversation on here that I do some dumb things sometimes, but you guys think I'm actually clinically retarded? Aye. Right. You know the fucking
Starting point is 00:21:25 the crumpets and the toaster thing the the French toast aye French toast and the toaster like I just made a joke that I put eggy toast
Starting point is 00:21:33 on the toaster sideways right I'm having my breakfast and I went turned the toaster sideways and made the French toast and the toaster and she's just fucking gobsmacked
Starting point is 00:21:41 like you'll fuck the toaster and I was like well I obviously didn't that's obviously a joke which was like well it's not obviously a joke it's in line with stuff that you do aye right so she's giving us gobsmacked like you'll fuck the toaster and I was like well I obviously didn't that's obviously a joke and she was like well it's not obviously a joke it's in line with stuff that you do aye
Starting point is 00:21:48 right so she's given us that and I'm like oh yes I've actually got his like his joy of friends and I think we've had this conversation on here before but I'm just getting you up to speed for the rest of this conversation
Starting point is 00:21:55 right so you walk into a Scotland store to try and buy a nickname shirt that sort of stuff that's worse than the toaster thing it's way worse than the toaster thing. I thought, you know what?
Starting point is 00:22:07 I thought you'd be... I didn't feel very accommodated. Right, let's... Accommodated? Let's put a bookmark. After what you've done to our fucking country. Accommodated. It wasn't Gareth Southgate and the boys.
Starting point is 00:22:20 I wish you could see his face. I wish you could see his face on the podcast to just not read any fucking history you guys are very accommodating to the English when you came up fucking north and we had no concept of what land was and you were like you know what who owns this land
Starting point is 00:22:37 my family's lived here for a couple of years do you have a contract we were like we don't know what contracts are and you were like get the fuck out of here not very accommodating I'm sorry was the red carpet not fucking rolled out for you Like, do you have a contract? We were like, we don't know what contracts are. And you were like, get the fuck out of here. Not very accommodating. I'm sorry, was the red carpet not fucking rolled out for you? Well, you know, I've got soft.
Starting point is 00:22:54 I've spent five years in London with a rich tapestry of diversity rolling through the culture. You're going to 100% buy yourself a Scotland top. Now I feel like a cook. I can do that. So I'm in JD Sports. Let's get back to the thing about the crumpets right the eggy crumpets which by the way
Starting point is 00:23:07 eggy crumpets are better try them just sliding in a sponge that was seamless so I'm giving up on the idea but I need a new
Starting point is 00:23:17 pair of joggies right because I'm just getting a bit fucking torn from scratching my balls around the salvia right
Starting point is 00:23:23 I'm hanging up some joggers I'm fucking hanging them by the side of myself and the house out of the air right and I'm hanging up some joggers I'm fucking hanging them by the side of myself and last that works there comes up and asks if I need
Starting point is 00:23:30 any help and I went actually controversial question but do you sell England shirts and she just went what
Starting point is 00:23:39 and I went like England tops do you sell England she went I hate you I just she was fucking ghost matched I had a fucking you are so lucky
Starting point is 00:23:47 that was a woman by the way I nearly wasn't I nearly wasn't if it was a Glaswegian woman she just went I can't like so the cell went do you have any England tops
Starting point is 00:24:00 what do you sell England shirts I heard what you said I just can't believe you would ask that this is a member of staff
Starting point is 00:24:07 aye a member of staff who has grown up in Scotland man like I just
Starting point is 00:24:17 in retrospect so dumb dumbest thing in the fucking world did you walk into the fucking Celtic shop
Starting point is 00:24:25 afterwards and be like you got any fucking hun socks in here I just fancy some fucking blue ones you got any blue scarves no like I understand
Starting point is 00:24:31 maybe in theory where you're like oh you know you can make a fucking penny they would not be able to make a penny selling England shirts in any Scottish shop
Starting point is 00:24:40 because I tell you why me an arguably rational man if I were to walk into Edinburgh City Centre and walk into a JD Sports and there was an England shirt there I would take it
Starting point is 00:24:51 I'd go to the fucking dressing room and I would happily down the front wipe my fucking arse with it put it back on the fucking coat hanger and then stick it back in the storefront and everyone else
Starting point is 00:25:00 would be like he's done that that stock is perishable stock. It has a fucking shelf life. It stops everything else getting sold. It's costing the place money. It's got a shelf life of however fast I'd say it is,
Starting point is 00:25:13 which is fast as the speed of light. That's how much, like... You know what, actually, another thing that I thought, that I was a bit naive to, I just thought, like, you and Gareth and Mark, were just a disgusting cross-section of the nation.
Starting point is 00:25:28 Nope. Man, man. I thought you were just like... I didn't think the rest of the country was that bothered about... 100% they are. Man, then it's a dark, dark cloud over Scotland. Thankfully we're used to that. I mean, I should have been able to tell
Starting point is 00:25:42 by the fact that you really went out of your way to make sure the Queen isn't on the money Aye Like that's a dead giveaway Like you know all the warning signs are there It's like man my dad who doesn't give a fucking shit about any sport in the entire world Even messaged me just being like this is going to fucking suck Like this is going to just be shite
Starting point is 00:26:03 Because it's going to be used by the worst of the worst which is 45% of them if not more. It's going to be used as justification of fucking Brexit. It's going to be fucking, it's never your own victory, it's always rubbing it in someone else's face. Can you not say the good in it?
Starting point is 00:26:20 Southgate has been anti-Brexit not so much anti-Brexit but anti the racial connotations that come with the Brexit movement. He's spoken openly about that. The players take the knee against racism. But that's not what it represents to half the bastards. You've got people that are saying,
Starting point is 00:26:37 I'm not watching this because of this fucking political stuff. And then you're like, nah, we're still doing it. And we're going to get on to succeed and be what we want this country to be despite all this fucking shite that's dragging
Starting point is 00:26:48 us down as a nation and it's actually better in England as a country that the football team's doing well I hope that's true it will be nice
Starting point is 00:26:58 if that's true but I guarantee it that's not going to be the fucking reaction for the next two months I think this is a lot of positive role models for children and for the next two months I think this is a lot of positive role models
Starting point is 00:27:05 for children and for the future and like I just think that maybe on an individual basis as a really like fucking grip me teeth Englishman
Starting point is 00:27:13 like that far north that I just fucking try and disassociate sometimes and think of Newcastle as it's own state right like I fucking hate
Starting point is 00:27:19 the politics of the country and I'm looking at this and this is actually like it's a bit I mean it's like it's almost like reclaiming the flag and the'm looking at this guy and this is actually like it's a bit I mean it's like it's almost like reclaiming the flag and the national anthem
Starting point is 00:27:28 away from the right and it's making it like it just I don't know I feel like it's good for the football but anyway
Starting point is 00:27:35 that's beside the point I'm too fond of that because we're never going to agree on this since point of view but when I did that the shot right it was one of them dawning realizations.
Starting point is 00:27:48 It was like, in a way, have you ever been in a gay bar and you think everyone's just being friendly and you're having a dance and all that. And then you look around and you're like, it clicks and you're like, oh, I'm in a gay bar. And then you're like, they're shocked that you couldn't see it beforehand. You're like, nobody's this nice to me. Right. I just have a lovely ass. It was one of those moments where like just the whole
Starting point is 00:28:07 scenery around us just like changed in my head like oh I didn't have my eyes open at this point the glass shattered the glass shattered uh huh
Starting point is 00:28:14 and I was there in Glasgow in a shop and I like I just quickly bought me a chocolate and left even though I'm not a fit
Starting point is 00:28:21 I don't know man I swear to god before she was on the fucking walkie talkie she's probably telling someone can you get the security up here has there been a robbery way worse
Starting point is 00:28:30 a thousand times worse oh don't tell me somebody grabbed your arse still a thousand times worse oh my god has there been a murder has there been a rape has there some sort of
Starting point is 00:28:41 been some sort of level two genocide again Barry you're getting close but is there a pedophile ring no been a rape? Has there been some sort of level 2 genocide? Again, Barry, you're getting close. Is there a paedophile ring? No. Still,
Starting point is 00:28:49 a thousand times worse than that. There's fucking one of them trying to buy... Sincerely, I saw him and at first
Starting point is 00:28:59 I looked around for cameras. I thought it must have been one of those fucking shite YouTube pranks. That's how she reacted, actually. That's why she didn't
Starting point is 00:29:05 fucking kick her head in because she thought she was on a fucking prank show and she was like I can't I can't batter this stupid cunt
Starting point is 00:29:13 in this store because in some of these fucking in the Juventus shops there's going to be some wee cunt with a fucking camera and I'm just going to
Starting point is 00:29:19 end up chinning this fucking cunt and then that's going to be used as evidence in fucking court against me and then she's waiting she's waiting she's waiting and then it fuck just as you leave it dawns on her she's like i missed an opportunity there to do the right thing for the saltire she's telling that story isn't she absolutely and everyone is asking for the security footage
Starting point is 00:29:44 right they're going through it and they're like find out what direction he walked in what buses go that way let's work out what part of Glasgow he fucking lives in
Starting point is 00:29:51 let's go find the car aye there's a few Scottish listeners that are probably getting a bit wound up by this already right it's the it's a girl that works
Starting point is 00:29:58 at JD Sports in Silverburn if you happen to know the girl that works at JD Sports in Silverburn in Glasgow please send her my deepest and sincerest
Starting point is 00:30:08 apologies I knew I was behind enemy lines but I thought it was like eh brother that's fighting you know that great fucking scene in Glorious Bastards where they're all pretending to be Nazis
Starting point is 00:30:22 they're down in the basement they're all Pretending to be Oh that's how I've been Watching the match I've been under the floor boys They're down in the basement They're all pretending To be fucking Germans And it's such a good scene They get They work out The guy's not German
Starting point is 00:30:32 Because they ask him Any beers he wants And he holds up Three fingers But he holds up Index, middle And then the fourth one Which is Steve
Starting point is 00:30:38 Or whatever his fucking name is But the way Germans Do the number three Is thumb, forefinger And middle That's how they And because he does this, they go, that's a fucking... That's a fucking Englishman right there.
Starting point is 00:30:51 Man, that was... You were a more brazen version of that. There was just tenseness there. Yeah, somehow worse. She's desperately just trying to fucking... She's pressing the emergency... She's got one of those fucking emergency signals on her phone. Just being like, this has got to fucking happen.
Starting point is 00:31:05 I've got to fucking record this. I set my emergency alarm off watching porn the other day. Did I tell you that? I was watching porn in a hotel room. Aye. And I went to turn it down because it was a bit loud. You know, you don't want the neighbors hearing. Never, aye.
Starting point is 00:31:20 And I kept tapping the volume button to get it down. But there was a power button and it set off my rape alarm must have been an aggressive wank just people busting like is everything alright turning yourself in sorry mate can we just call it a faux pas I wish you could see his face
Starting point is 00:31:44 it's just there should have see his face it's just there should have been a video it's just it's just so it's it's like
Starting point is 00:31:52 the scene from fucking die hard with a vengeance with a sandwich board in the middle of Harlem but somehow
Starting point is 00:31:59 it's still worse still way worse than that still a thousand times fucking worse man do you think that would be like no just head on Still worse. Still way worse than that. Still a thousand times fucking worse. Man, do you think that would be like... No, just add on.
Starting point is 00:32:09 Just kind of... People are going to... I don't know if this is going to be divided or if this is going to be clear cut, right? But if the Celtic range has rivalry, worse or less worse? You can't say better, can you, in this situation, than England Scotland
Starting point is 00:32:25 em to be fair most of the time that really depends on the the fans I think like you'll get worse
Starting point is 00:32:35 on both sides but the reason like fucking I mean I feel like as much as I've been involved in the rivalry with Scotland
Starting point is 00:32:42 it's a lot of ribbing and it's a lot of name calling and stuff like that but like it doesn't feel threatening whereas I feel like with the old firm it's threatening
Starting point is 00:32:50 I don't I don't I don't think it's not threatening because nobody's crossed the line like I have yeah I don't
Starting point is 00:32:55 I don't think or at least I fucking hope like the thing is as well like man look you know my feelings towards the fucking English fucking football team
Starting point is 00:33:03 and English fucking football fans I'd never I'd never fight the cats, right? I'd never... Aye, but that's you. Aye, but I don't... No, no, no, but again, it's not...
Starting point is 00:33:13 Like, I don't think that the Tottenham Army was bringing that vibe to London. It was fun. Like, I love the videos coming out of Scotland. Aye, but I don't... Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I don't think the intention is to ever fucking kick your head and get fucking like we use we use our fucking
Starting point is 00:33:27 hatred for just let's make some memes let's say some horrible fucking things let's support everybody that they play against aye
Starting point is 00:33:34 and that's what that's the outlet or at least that's what I fucking hope the outlet is for fucking most people whereas I feel like
Starting point is 00:33:41 Rangers self-pick heads like I'm gonna fucking kick your head and then fucking stab you but English fans are I feel like Rangers, Celtic heads, like I'm going to fucking kick your head and then fucking stab you. But English fans are a lot like Rangers fans, where they're just like, all football fans are bad. And you're like, aye, but the statistics are you are worse. Like, there's a whole argument, like Celtic and Rangers fans are, like, can both be terrible.
Starting point is 00:34:03 But statistically, Rangers fans, violence-wise, are absolutely worse. I'm realising how hated we are now because of how successful we're getting because like I did know that Wales hated when I knew that Scotland hated as far as football went
Starting point is 00:34:12 because it's fucking it's right in your face but it's it's realising how much people on the continent hate you oh you're a hate being hated by the Danish
Starting point is 00:34:20 is really hard to swallow because they are sound man they are really fucking sound and like I think it was like
Starting point is 00:34:27 the front page of their paper was like let them have it let them rejoice we get to wake up in Denmark or something like
Starting point is 00:34:34 saying it would be treacherous waking up here which by the way just to clarify I've woke up in Denmark a handful of times on tour love the country
Starting point is 00:34:41 bastard cafe Christiania it's class and all that I've woke up in Denmark a handful of times been through to a finals better sauce lads
Starting point is 00:34:47 sauce lads but way better than waking up in Denmark but I get your point you're not waking up in England aye but it's this where was it
Starting point is 00:34:54 I can't remember where it was but I do fucking remember it was the it was like a sort of crystallising moment for you somewhere in Europe
Starting point is 00:35:03 where I said I was Scottish and I was greeted with like proper open arms like hey fucking yeah man how you doing
Starting point is 00:35:10 lovely to have you here and they were like you're Scottish too and you were like English and they just froze up and it was
Starting point is 00:35:18 and I think with the football fans right I think that the hatred for the English comes from these loudmouth, like, fucking, oi, oi, ois, like, fucking, you know. Tartan dodging, gammon shagging, Brexit voting cunts.
Starting point is 00:35:32 Why, you know what, right, I hated them for being the stereotypical English fan, right, but I look at them and go, right, but probably a lot of them are season ticket holders, they watch a lot of football. They're racists, so they're probably Chelsea fans. Probably, yeah. You've got to be associated with them too.
Starting point is 00:35:53 Aye, aye. But as far as being football fans gone, right, as people, cunts, right, as football fans, you're actually fucking into football, you care about the game, right? What I'm really hating is the people that are fucking just getting into it for... They're never going to watch another game, they're pretending to like it. Boris Johnson? Boris Johnson, pretty Patel.
Starting point is 00:36:15 How can the... They are pulling on England's tubs. The fucking... They look like they're wearing their dad's little fitting suit. Right. That's just... It's not for you, that. Begging up the English football team,
Starting point is 00:36:28 which is one of the reasons the England football team is so good at the moment, is because of immigration. Like, I don't know if you've seen the fucking meme where it is. It's meant... What the England team is without fucking... I'm proud of that. Aye. That sort of stuff makes me proud to be English.
Starting point is 00:36:41 But these are the fucking cunts that are stopping... Like, the fucking... Pray for a tail stopping. Anyone fucking coming over,. But these are the fucking cunts that are stopping, like, the fucking, pray for tell stopping anyone fucking coming over, let's keep all these fucking cunts out. It's like, you don't get to support the team. Nah, nah. You don't get, you stand fundamentally against, like, what this is. So you don't get to pretend that you're fucking happy for them.
Starting point is 00:36:59 You're not, because you are just going to use it, like so many people will, which is, it's not we won it's you all lost we're fucking better than you this horrible fucking
Starting point is 00:37:10 you know I'm getting to the point now where the ooh we did a good at the kickball tribe are the fucking worst for me
Starting point is 00:37:17 at this point I'm like oh man like it's not yours you don't get to fucking sell you haven't been through all the fucking like you know I think it's just because you don't get to fucking sell you haven't been through
Starting point is 00:37:25 all the fucking like you know I think it's just because I've supported a fucking mid-table club for most of my life so up top
Starting point is 00:37:31 when I started supporting Newcastle right but we've been fucking yo-yo club at times we've went up and down in 2009 2016 I've always been either
Starting point is 00:37:38 getting relegated or an also-ran surviving relegation right England have always despite we're singing it's coming home it never has we've always suffered
Starting point is 00:37:46 and I'm like different just jump on this end a bit you've got to have a little bit of the journey you can't fucking just join in
Starting point is 00:37:54 it's very it's very Americans with World War 2 which is like we won World War 2 and you go first of all first of all
Starting point is 00:38:01 obviously you absolutely definitely assisted in fucking World War II. Very grateful for it. It was the fucking Russians, though. Like, it was the Russians able to, like, just their fucking tenacity to not lose fucking Stalingrad. Where they're just like, we're just not losing.
Starting point is 00:38:17 If the Germans weren't fighting on the Western Front and had to throw everything at us. Right, but the American stance is, is what the average American fucking stance is if it wasn't for us you'd be speaking German you go if it wasn't for the Russians you'd be speaking German like it's like
Starting point is 00:38:31 so that said I want to throw in a disclaimer if the tournament because of its popularity has opened people's eyes to football what have I been missing alright get in
Starting point is 00:38:43 more than more than hey because here's the thing if you're suddenly fucking getting into football and they go what have I been missing alright get in more than more than hey because here's the thing if you suddenly fucking get into football and you've got a favourite football player
Starting point is 00:38:50 in the tournament and you decide to fucking follow that player off people will call you glory hunters as a Chelsea fan I've been called
Starting point is 00:38:56 a glory hunter for fucking at least aye but that's part of it be that that's part of the fucking there's a trade off if you don't want to be
Starting point is 00:39:03 a glory hunter you've probably got to support wherever you live, like Wigan or something. In that, yeah, you'll have a little bit of fucking respect off your peers, but... But man, if you want to be
Starting point is 00:39:14 a fucking glory hunter, right, just be prepared to take the fucking room. It is class watching your fucking team win. Like, look... I tried to when I was younger. I tried to be a Man United fan. I mean, everyone's a Man United fan until they're 8 years old
Starting point is 00:39:25 especially if you're born in the 90s if you're born in the 90s or just before that everyone's a fucking Man United I was a Man United fan up until I was fucking like 8 just because it was the shirt my grandad bought me
Starting point is 00:39:34 just because but you just started you switched just because they started getting beat up someone I switched because my whole community went we didn't do that round here
Starting point is 00:39:43 I switched because I was just well because I was like I'm going to support a fucking Scottish football team I support Scotland and then when I was in high school everyone supported Celtic or Rangers and I knew I didn't want to support either of those fucking teams
Starting point is 00:39:59 but everyone in school supported East Fife so I was like I'll fucking go for that and I'll go go to some of the fucking games and what not but that's not like a fucking you can't talk about that with everyone
Starting point is 00:40:10 you want somebody in the main sort of league so I went to Hebs and Hebs are Hebs are the fucking Tottenham of the North like they just caught like thank god
Starting point is 00:40:18 we won a fucking Scottish Cup a couple of years ago because we've choked ever fucking since and we choked for hundreds of years literally hundreds of years
Starting point is 00:40:24 fucking before so when I was about 13 or 14 I was just like I have I love the Premier League it's the greatest
Starting point is 00:40:30 league in the fucking world and I want I want a dog in the race I want I want something there
Starting point is 00:40:36 and it does feel a bit weird you know like as much as like Cullen supports Arsenal you support Chelsea
Starting point is 00:40:41 Gareth supports Arsenal like you've picked your Premier League club that you want to root for from an
Starting point is 00:40:44 early age, right? I think it was called, it was like, my brother supports Real Madrid and I'm like, you can't do that. That's not... You can't do that.
Starting point is 00:40:52 I'll support Brazil. It's like, when somebody does that on FIFA, you're like, there, shuffle the game. So I was like, I support an English team,
Starting point is 00:41:03 so I typed in me the fucking, like, where I was born, which is Kingston-upon-Thames and I was like,'ve got to support an English team so I typed in me the fucking where I was born which is Kingston upon Thames and I was like I'll try and be as honest as I can here
Starting point is 00:41:10 if I'm going to support an English club I'll support one that's like close to sort of home so I could have done Newcastle
Starting point is 00:41:16 because my cousins are from Newcastle and closest Premier League club the way you live yeah yeah yeah and you're more than welcome if we get took over by the way
Starting point is 00:41:23 to come to games and enjoy good football I because man I I always like I root for you live and you're more than welcome if we get took over by the way to come to games and enjoy good football I because man I always like I root for Newcastle
Starting point is 00:41:30 yeah you've got no animosity towards them you actually lean towards them being your second team
Starting point is 00:41:34 in fact it's one of the very few football teams that like when bad things happen to them
Starting point is 00:41:38 I do feel genuine sadness because I'm like oh man I don't want fucking
Starting point is 00:41:41 Kai to be miserable I don't want Gav to be miserable it's nice that Khan's sad but like there's other people but there's
Starting point is 00:41:50 there's so many other people when I just want this fucking team to do well it must be so funny for you going into tomorrow that like I celebrated for Chelsea with you
Starting point is 00:42:00 at the Champions League final and you're just sat there going this isn't a reciprocal deal. No, no, no. I understand. I get it. The best I can, and it's the same with fucking Matty, the best I can offer you is ambivalence, right?
Starting point is 00:42:13 The best I can do is... You've done well with it, yeah. Yeah, which is, well, man, because I know what I've been like, and I don't like arguing with friends, but it's so easy to argue with fucking friends. And man, we're in a fucking, we're still in the middle of this fucking high intensity fucking two years where we've in a fucking we're still in the middle of this fucking high intensity fucking two years where we've been fucking isolated so much
Starting point is 00:42:27 and text is never the same as normal fucking conversation I don't want to lose friends in a fucking WhatsApp group over something just as fucking I know football's passionate
Starting point is 00:42:35 but it is a fucking trivial thing something that you've said that you know that if you said in person it would be accepted as it was meant to be taken
Starting point is 00:42:41 but because somebody's there ruminating over and measuring a response because you can read it over and over and over again and the laugh emoji looks sarcastic rather than an actual
Starting point is 00:42:49 genuine laugh and I've also I've seen the mistranslations like when fucking like being both sides like when you and Colin were getting tense with each other
Starting point is 00:42:55 and like he's like he said it like this and I'm like he didn't say it like that you've chosen to take him saying that way and the same way that you were
Starting point is 00:43:03 he said this and he meant this and I'm like man I've been around both of you and neither of you actually can it's constant fucking
Starting point is 00:43:09 mistranslation in this thing Matty and I'll fucking absolute fair play to him an Arsenal fan a fucking sworn enemy
Starting point is 00:43:17 had me in his fucking house right watched Chelsea win the fucking Champions League with me and I know or at least I like to believe that had Chelsea fucking lost,
Starting point is 00:43:26 he obviously would have been fucking happy. He wouldn't have fucking rubbed it in my face. Well, he would have been like, his bets would have come in. So I'm like, man, and that's what Matty offered me, right? Which was ambivalent. I'm like, that I can do.
Starting point is 00:43:39 That I can do is, I'm not going to watch the fucking final. Me and Claire are going to watch something and the fucking other one, we're going to catch up on fucking Loki and we're just going to fucking distance ourselves from it. Thank God I'm off social media because my friends that are still, Scottish friends that are still on social media are getting so fucking wound up all the time because it's the worst people then. And you're just getting the worst fucking opinions, the worst of the fans in your face constantly. And it's just a fire
Starting point is 00:44:03 in your fucking heart that it continues to... And I get that, man. I used to just go on social media to stoke the hate in my own heart. To just go, I'm going to follow Piers Morgan. I'm going to read everything this fucking cunt says because nothing makes me feel more alive
Starting point is 00:44:17 than wishing somebody else was fucking dead. Right? I'm just... Whereas now, I'm just like, it's not worth the fucking arguments. I don't want to lose fucking friendships over fucking this. I'm going to remove myself
Starting point is 00:44:26 from the fucking situation. Or, just to finish me earlier, I thought there, when I googled what team I was going to support based on my fucking postcode in London, the closest one was Fulham

Starting point is 00:48:08 Seth Rogen. Seth Rogen. Marashala Ali. Yep. The Next Blade. What casting that is. I absolutely meant. So the casting of this cartoon is fucking incredible, right? It fucking shows you that you've got budget
Starting point is 00:48:22 and people want to invest themselves in it right like it's a fucking big deal and then the soundtrack is banger after banger
Starting point is 00:48:32 even like there's more like emotional under like like a bed of music underneath something that's a bit more like downcast I always class
Starting point is 00:48:40 like I want a Spotify playlist of everything on there there's a few like Run the Jewels tracks and everything like the action scenes I've always got like fucking banging hip Spotify playlist of everything on there there's a few like Run the Jewels tracks and everything like the action scenes I've always got like
Starting point is 00:48:46 fucking banging hip hop on with them and I started getting to the point where like I was looking at the costume design and I was like fucking
Starting point is 00:48:54 as if like as if it's not just the art that I've already covered by saying the art's good I'm like the costume's fucking amazing and it
Starting point is 00:49:02 the cinematography's class like the bit like this isn't a spoiler. Like, you punch the hole in the wall, and then it'll zoom into the hole, and, like, he'll just appear through the hole in the wall that he punched. Like, just a, like, wicked cinematography. That is, again, just, I've already covered it. I said the art's good.
Starting point is 00:49:19 So all that's meant. And then the shock factor on it. Like, I consider now that I'm difficult to shock aye unless it's the last Mission Impossible movie oh come on come on oh man
Starting point is 00:49:37 for anyone that's not I am difficult to shock but for those that don't know maybe I'm easy to shock for those that don't know the story okay maybe I'm easy to shock okay maybe I'm easy to shock for those that don't know
Starting point is 00:49:47 the story about two or three years ago me, Kai and Cullen like after a fucking gig we've gotten back to our house in Edinburgh and we're getting baked and we're watching
Starting point is 00:49:57 a bit of the weed vape going on watch Fallout Mission Impossible Mission Impossible which is one of the best great fucking film
Starting point is 00:50:03 and if you want any spoilers turn it off for the next minute but I mean who gives a shit it's a fucking Mission Impossible which is one of the better great fucking film and if you want any spoilers turn it off for the next minute but I mean who gives a shit it's a fucking Mission Impossible movie it's just a scene at the end
Starting point is 00:50:11 where he's got to try and find like a detonation thing he's got to find the detonation fucking trigger and we're all just watching it in silence
Starting point is 00:50:17 just through our fucking weed glazed eyes just enjoying all the action and the bad guy falls down and the trigger goes to go off the side of a mountain it's getting us towards the edge and the bad guy falls down and the trigger goes to go off the side of a mountain
Starting point is 00:50:26 skid us towards the edge of the mountain and with 100% sincerity beside me and Cullen Kai just goes and he sucked
Starting point is 00:50:36 so much air out of the room that my ears popped Cullen got a fucking nosebleed like the atmosphere fucking chased
Starting point is 00:50:45 like it was just such a it was a mum watching a fucking horror it was the most pearl clutchy I have ever
Starting point is 00:50:54 heard in my entire life so like I said it takes like a fucking high budget action takes one of the
Starting point is 00:51:02 biggest stilettos of a generation to really take my breath away you know what I mean and this cartoon had that in spades the with if you I
Starting point is 00:51:15 mean you should all watch fucking invincible this isn't a spoiler but you're gonna say the train scene you are going to say say the train scene it is just one
Starting point is 00:51:24 of the I know this isn't a spoiler because you said it to me and I was like what can happen on a train
Starting point is 00:51:30 what that I haven't seen before with Spider-Man something like that he saves the train from going over the side it could be like
Starting point is 00:51:38 the taking of Pelham 123 I've seen it all I've watched every episode of Tom's the Tank Engine there's nothing with a train
Starting point is 00:51:43 that could shock me I've seen it all at one point he was involved in a cave-in and thankfully Gordon turned up and dragged all the rocks away I've been tense during trains before there's nothing else there's people who survived Auschwitz that are fucking shocked by the train scene
Starting point is 00:51:58 oh it's just oh it's I remember I remember exactly what it was and I've read the comic books as well and I don't know if that was in it but if it was in it it's very rare that they step it up for television
Starting point is 00:52:13 man that scene is the reason why it wasn't a live action that agonised over that and censorship that really got a lot of bodies on that to push that really got fucking a lot of bodies on that to push it through
Starting point is 00:52:27 oh god it's a game changer I've ever seen aye it's so so and it comes out like a really pivotal moment as well
