Good day losers
Welcome to another episode of
Slots and Humphreys on the road
In today's episode I really wanted to talk about
The Olympics because me and Cullen
And Cara have actually been really enjoying
The Olympics for the first time
I didn't realise that it's kind of just
Like it's the best of the best competing
And I've actually found myself getting into
All the sports and really enjoyed it
And I had some interesting opinions on that
But unfortunately some of Cara's scummy mates were being scum.
So we had to talk about that for a fucking hour.
So here it is.
Sloss and Humphreys on the road.
Muggins and cream, cream and muggins.
Straight thuggin', livin' the dream.
That's our intro.
Fuckin' muggles.
Ticklin' the clit inside your head that makes you laugh.
Woo-hoo!
Ha-ha-ha!
They said it can't be done.
Are we in the same seats?
That's hack. Aw, muggles. Accidental rim we in the same seats? That's hack
Oh, muggles
Accidental rem job in the park
Kiss, kiss, kiss
Or am I just being cynical?
Just muggled it up on fucking Mugglepedia
Where have you been since 9-11?
Make sure my phone's on silent
Oh, did you do that joke?
Aye
Oh, fuck
I was driving
I mean you also knew the podcast was today
aye and I've had a very eventful weekend
aye but you still like
you messaged me being like
when should I come through for the podcast
and I was like well I'm getting my vaccine today
my second vaccine
and you were like okay well I'll just come after that
so you had all that time
with knowledge in your head
that you were doing
a podcast
but do you know
like
do you know what's
happened between
since that text message
and now
yes I do
Tom
Daly
won his first
gold medal
did he
yep
he's never won a gold medal
before
no
wow
I thought he was
decorated
so the reason he was big
because I was the
exact same
like I woke up
this morning
I was meant to be
coming out to the
fucking peloton
to finally be late
after a long trip away
finally be getting
back into shape
and I'm in my shorts
yeah peloton
diving board
I'm in my shorts
and my shirt
I come in and
Cara's just saying
she's like
Tom Daley
just won his first
gold medal
and I'm like
but he's won loads
of gold medals
she's like
no only ever bronzes but it was because he was young when he won gold medal and I'm like but he's won loads of gold medals she's like no only ever bronzes
but it was because
he was young
when he won them
and we all got excited
but he's never actually won
anything more than a bronze
so he did it in the
synchronised diving
and the commentator
was excellent
I've no idea
who the fuck it was
well the synchronised commentator
two commentators
commentating on each of them
just saying the exact same thing
yeah
and you can watch
what their scores are
on BBC2
it's actually on Red Button
that's a different competition
that's the Olympics
for
for commentating
and the only people
that normally don't get judged
as the commentators of that
otherwise
I mean
now you're just breaking
so many walls at that point
so I
yeah I've not tuned in
to the Olympics yet
just because again
I've been too busy to do dad jokes.
I haven't had time for the Olympics just yet.
But before we get into the Nexus event,
there was a Nexus event in my life that went from
me wife's mum turning up at me house
with a scalpel and a sledgehammer.
Ah, the old Omani circumcision.
I honestly
thought they would have got past that tradition
now, but it's nice to know that
mummy bar gives it a lot of
commensurate age. And dear
listener, whatever you're picturing,
correct.
It's exactly how they do it.
So on Thursday Mummy Bar turned up
With a Stanley knife and a sledgehammer
And by Sunday
One of my Geordie mates was in therapy
I hope it's mine
I'm not going to use any names
But let's just for the sake of this
Say Matty
So this is what Matty did
But before it got to this but let's just for the sake of this say Matty so Matty this is what Matty did this is what Matty did
right
but before it got
to this
Nexus event
where the timeline changed
right
we got back off tour
and I was like
bye Daniel
I'll see you
at the podcast
on Monday
and then I drove back
from
I dropped you off at Edinburgh
yes
and then took the hire car
to Glasgow
yeah
and then said Natalie
can you can you take me can you pick me up from the airport because I've got to drop the hire car to Glasgow and then said Natalie can you
pick me up from the airport
because I've got to drop the hire car off at the airport
and she was like I've got work
and I was like well could your mum
and she was like oh my mum's got this thing
with a sledgehammer on it
she's really
it's her new thing she's very excited about it
I think it's some sort of street performance
but she does say it's medical I think it might be new thing she's very excited about it I think it's some sort of street performance but she does say it's medical
I think it might be both
so right
she goes
my mam's just recently
picked me up from the airport
so I don't think it's fair
I was like
in my head I'm like
we'll literally live
10 minutes from the airport man
it's not that
it's not that big a deal
mummy bar is so fucking helpful
she would not
bat an eyelid
and have been asked twice
in one week
to get at the airport right
so I was like ah cool like I don't know you'll the airport, right? So I was like, oh, cool.
Like, I don't know.
You'll know how better than me, right?
I was like, what about your brother?
And she was like, oh, it's just a bit much to ask.
I'm like, he's literally lived 10 minutes from the fucking airport.
Get on here, right?
So Natalie's like, the only way I can do it is before work,
but we'll have to get up at six.
And I was like, oh, yeah, I was getting back at like one, two in the morning.
Right?
And I'm like, fine.
I'll get up at six.
I'll drop the car off and then I'll have the whole day'm like fine I'll get up at six I'll drop the car off
and then I'll have the whole day
alright
so I get up at six
oh yeah
because you wouldn't go back to
bed after that
would you
because you would just sleep
because you don't nap
you would just sleep for eight hours
I would just
that would be me
just having a night
you know
I sleep for like
I think that's such a
fucking wild way to live
because if you wake me up
like if I get anything
like six or seven hours sleep
all I am doing is going,
when am I getting that three hours during the fucking day?
Because I will not go a day without my...
Getting up's the hard part.
So once I'm up, I'm not going to put myself through that again.
Getting back to sleep's the easy part.
I can't deal with getting up twice in one day.
Getting up once in a day is so hard.
Well, don't get dressed the first time.
I've got to drop off a haircut.
Oh, yeah. What, to who's sexed? It's not a fucking Rolls Royce. So that's it. That's it. getting up once in the day is so hard but don't get dressed the first time I've got to drop off a haircut oh yeah
what do who's sexed
it's not a fucking
Rolls Royce
so that's it
that's it
that's it
right
I wore cloth shorts
and just a little t-shirt
right
shorts and t-shirts
six in the morning
right
thanks for saying
little t-shirt as well
cloth shorts
and a little t-shirt
little t-shirt
yeah
I was just saying
how I am now Daniel
but it wasn't the heat of the day
it was six o'clock in the morning
and even though it's the summer,
we're in Scotland now.
We're not in Kansas anymore.
Right.
So we'll get up at six.
And Natalie's like,
making us a packed lunch,
making us a coffee.
And I'm like,
this is fucking overkill
for a little 10 minute drive
to the airport.
It's like, right.
So I'm like,
I get my coffee off
and I get the thing.
And I was like,
right, I'm going to get petrol first.
So I swear I said I'll meet you at the petrol station.
I might not have.
It's the morning.
I'm terrible in the morning.
I was not there for this story.
I guarantee you didn't.
I believe Natalie.
So do I.
I believe Natalie that I was just like,
I told her I was going to the petrol station.
I think I just assumed that meant let's convoy.
So I get to the petrol station. I put convoy right so I get the petrol station
I put petrol in
and I phone Natalie
and just like
have you left the house yet
because I've finished
putting the petrol in
she's like
oh no I'm already on my way
so I'll just see you there
I was like bastard
I need it another way
like I left my phone
because you know
the sat nav was the phone
and the connectors
and everything
we need the connectors
because it's a higher car
I took like all the connectors
out and everything
so I didn't want to like
I had to like work my way there with the phone like on my lap which i don't like doing but i was like
whatever i'm not in convoy i get the fucking i get the hire car at glasgow and i fucking took
ages trying to find the key drop because the fucking guy that was the only person that was
there was sweeping it wasn't open yet and he kept fucking sending us in the wrong direction and i'll
have to get it i'll eventually fucking dropped the keys I spent like 10 minutes
putting petrol in
10 minutes putting the thing
and Natalie still wasn't there
and I rang her
and I was just like
are you not meeting us
at the DHL car park
because that's the bit
where you can pick people
for free without paying
the short stay stuff
and she was like
DHL
in Edinburgh
Edinburgh
she was like
I've just passed Falkirk
because I'd spent time stalling so she's like I've just passed Falkirk because
I'd spent time
stalling
so she's getting
20 minutes away
from Edinburgh
airport
by the time
I ran
she was driving
to Edinburgh
airport
oh no wonder
she didn't think
her mum could do it
because her mum
had just picked her
up from Edinburgh
airport recently
so twice in one
weekend
Edinburgh and back
oh man I was like why would I be recently? So twice in one weekend Edinburgh and back? Oh no.
Oh man. I was like, why would I be going
Edinburgh? I'm actually
not on that list. Why on earth would
you be dropping it off? Is it the excuse
because I picked up the car despite the fact that we
fucking picked it up in London? So get this.
Get this, right? So
when I said the airport, right?
I didn't think I said Edinburgh Airport.
Also, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But also, when you live 10 minutes from an airport,
you don't have to specify which airport.
I definitely just said the airport.
And if the word Edinburgh was in the conversation,
it was like, I'm dropping Danny off at Edinburgh,
and then I'm driving back,
and then I need you to take us from the airport.
So the fact is,
that sentence possibly had the word Edinburgh in it. Yeah.
Right?
Which,
this is just all failure of communication
between me and my wife.
This is just me and my wife
needing to work on my marriage.
That's all it is.
Nothing more.
Just, we need marriage counselling.
So,
I'm trying to blame her on the phone and she's trying to like blame her
on the phone
and she's trying to
blame me
and it gets a little
bit heated on my phone
and then she
comes back
right
she doubles back
turns around
in my car as well
you hate this
about my car
you can't
change the sat nav
when you're driving
because you shouldn't
be touching the screen
when you're driving
and it means you have
to fucking pull out
you're on the motorway and you have to pull out.
It's the worst feature.
Like, if you design a car, if you work for Audi,
you are the worst people in the world.
Like, you're driving the car,
oh, I need to change my destination,
so, oh, passenger, we've gone to the wrong place.
Or passenger goes, oh, in fact,
can you actually drop me off at my friend's house
instead of all the way home, which is easier for me?
And you go, certainly, passenger, I can.
Can you please type in the address
Audi's like
well
well clearly the driver's doing that
despite the fact that we made a vehicle
that seats five fucking people
we can only fathom
that one lacklustre moron
would go
you've got the technology
to know there's a person in that seat
if the belt's undone
you fucking squeaky bastard
it screams at you
if there's a passenger in with a belt the belt's undone you fucking squeaky bastard it screams at you if there's a passenger in
with a belt undone
so the technology's there
to say
there's somebody in that seat
that's most likely operating
even on fucking Pokemon Go
right
when you're driving around
in Pokemon Go
right
and your friends
when your friends
in the passenger seat
Pokemon Go can tell you
how fast you're going
it's like you're clearly
in a fucking car
while doing this but you can just click I'm a passenger. Pokemon Go can tell how fast you're going. You're clearly in a fucking car while doing this, but you can
just click, I'm a passenger.
Even Pokemon Go has that
motherfucking option, Audi. Shame
on you. Shame on you.
Bad car maker.
Bad. It's really naughty.
Also, stop
with, right, stop
with button ignitions. I'm bored of this.
And also, button parking.
There was nothing difficult about handbraking.
The handbrake and the ignition.
Too flawless was the technology.
I'm not being stuck in my ways here.
But you know what?
When you turn the ignition on, you know where the keys are.
You put it in the key thing.
You can never leave your car without turning the car off.
Even use the same technology as the button, right?
But just let we put a key in and turn on the key, presses the button.
Yeah.
And then we let go of the key and it's in the position and the button's being pressed.
I do not need to feel like I'm in a fucking rocket ship.
I'm in a Peugeot.
I know what I am.
Okay.
No, but I'm like, it's like I'm on my way to the moon.
And I keep forgetting to knock it off now on my way to the moon and I keep forgetting
to knock it off now
I've done the whole
half a word podcast
in the hire car
right
a three hour podcast
or something
and I come back out
and my fucking car
was boiling
it had just been
taking an hour
it's just so
I hate it so much
some things
they've just made worse
I took the key out with us
I took the key into the building
with us
to do the part
I'd come back out
the engine had been running
the whole time Tesla's good how's that a thing you fucking you should be taking the key out with us I took the key into the building with us to do the part come back out the engine had been running the whole time
Tesla's good
how's that a thing
you fucking
you should be taking the key out
and then this car stops
yeah
alright
well that's what the Tesla does
the second you go out of fucking distance
it's like
he's not in the fucking car
he's pissed off
that's not him
he'll be back soon
but then I done that to you
I left you in the car
and took the car key with us
and then the alarm went off when you were in the car which is my nightmare of all nightmares left you in the car, and took the car key with us, and then the alarm went off,
when you were in the car,
which is my nightmare,
of all my years,
just being in the car,
with no key,
no with an alarm going off,
man,
like as always,
I hate any type of,
fucking alarms,
like if you want to,
torture information out of me,
just have a beep,
every four seconds,
and I guarantee,
you'll crack within a minute,
like I,
and I hate being responsible
you know when I've been
sleeping on someone's couch
when they've got a ticking
clock in the living room
aye
I also hate
being responsible
for fucking noise
like
that's why
man I hate
yappy book dogs
and I would never
have a fucking
yappy dog at all
right
because my dog's
my responsibility
and it's going to
shut the fuck up
and it's not going to
ruin somebody's day
just because I'm a
bad fucking owner
so being in a being in a car while the alarm's going off
and not being able to do anything oh my god like oh i'm into a ball of anxiety at the fucking i
don't think i'd ever recover so natalie couldn't change the satnav so she turns around because
like she had to basically
just take a long way
and like get back
to where she knew
she was
and then take the
journey there
rather than the quickest route
so like I was waiting
for a little while
for her to get back
and what time did she arrive
at Dundee airport
so I'm in Glasgow airport
walking around
in my fucking
shorts and t-shirt
in the morning
like I'm just getting back
from Tenerife
and forgot my luggage
oh no
easy jet loss
you're like
let's go
like no
notice of
something you
lost
you're like
good old
easy jet
so the cops
fucking pull out
and ask
again you look
a bit lost there
mate
because I was
a bit lost
I was looking
for my wife
I was like
I'm looking
for my wife
six o'clock
in the morning
and I just
explained it
there
I was like
fucking yeah last went to Edinburgh airport I'm just I'm just dropped off wife at six o'clock in the morning and I just explained it there I was like fucking yeah
last night at the airport
I'm just
I'm just dropping off the hair car
and they were all fine with us
but I was just left
twiddling my thumbs for a bit
and in the time
we took Natalie
to come back and pick us up
she'd fucking found
a sense of humour about it
she was laughing at us
stood there
she was like
man I've just been thinking about it
there's so many warning signs
that were what
had my way as crossed
like she was like,
she was going,
I made you a packed lunch.
She goes, I said we've got to get up at six
because it's going to take hours.
I was like, oh, I thought you were just, like, hyperbole.
I thought you knew the
morning traffic better than me.
And she was like, and convoying from better than me yeah and she was like
and convoying from
the airport as well
she's like
you like
go to Danny's
from our house
all the time
and he lives right
next to the airport
right
and I'm like
yep
and also
Danny lives right
next to the airport
he would have
just dropped it off
there's a warning sign
on your side
yeah
why the fuck
would I drop Danny
off at Edinburgh
drive all the way back for
a fucking four hour nap and then convoy with you to danny's house again to ditch the car and this is
this is where there you know how i was saying you guys have got a caricature of how retarded i am
natalie's got a caricature of how mean you are in her head. Why? She thought you were just being mean.
She thought like,
I just thought like,
you know how Danny can sometimes get,
I thought he'd be like,
I'm not dropping the hair car off.
I've never been like that.
I've never been like that before.
You can be cranky,
and you can be like,
oh God, I've got to do it.
I've got to, right?
And you do like, oh, people are doing things do it I've got to right and you do like
a lot of people
doing things for you
but I'm like
that's a caricature
of how mean Danny is
I don't like people
doing other things
people do other things
for me because
I'm famous and important
it's
and I'm like
even though I do
I do like do a bit
of heavy lifting
with the tour
because fucking
it's like
I'm working
we are on the tour
so I'll do like
the sound check
I'll pick up the
hair cars and stuff that right I'm technically tour manager I'm technically tour manager at the minute because fucking it's like you know I'm working we are on the tour so I'll do like the sound check I'll pick up the hair cars and stuff that right
I'm technically tour manager
I'm technically tour manager
at the minute
because fucking
we've been playing
with the shoestring budget
aye
so I'm not paying anyone else
that's what you get
well I can pay Kai
the exact same amount
the exact same amount
you can do twice the work
half actually
I'm getting half
but I'm sure I'll come back
and run
I'm just happy
to be working
you know
tell you one thing
like I wouldn't
have fucking
dropped the hair
car off
two way
two way
I wouldn't
mate
it would have
been outright
disrespect
even if you
fucking tried
to pull that
one I would
have been
like
do you think
it's subordination
for me to tell you
to fuck off here
because we're
we're mates
yeah
and as I've said before
I'm out open for you
but
you're my customer
you're buying my product here
I know my worth
and it's more than this
and it's more than this
so Natalie had like
let that alarm bell slide
instead of just having a conversation
like
does Danny not just want to drop it off
Like
No
Because especially how like
We came up the west coast
And all it would have been
So much fucking easier
Way easier
To drop me off
100%
Because that was
Yeah that was the route
We had to come off
To get to Edinburgh
To fucking drive it
So she took it really well
Right
Took it on the chain
The next day
Right
The next day
Hold on
I also think I did even offer
To drop off at Glasgow 1
Because I could have got a car I might have even done that But then you were like And even if I also think I did even offer to drop off at Glasgow 1 because I could have got a car
I might have even done that
but then you were like
and even if I had
like I would have just like
stayed over at yours
dropped it off
and had Natalie pick us up
aye
rather than fucking
zig zagging at me
I'm back on team Kai
Natalie stick his picture
I'm back on
here we go
Natalie you dumb bitch
look there was many
an alarm bell on both sides
and all the way back
we were just laughing
as we remembered different alarm bells
where we could have had a conversation about it.
Aye.
It is mad that at no point...
Yeah, even I picked up on the one being like,
oh, that's why.
It was definitely outrageous.
Getting us up at six in the morning, mate.
We did that, mate.
Like, before, I honestly thought it was like,
we couldn't possibly ask my mother,
who lives five minutes away,
to drop you off at an airport ten minutes away at 9am.
That would be, she's done enough for us this week.
11 was the latest it hit me, just before 11.
Woman's retired, she just wants to help.
Natalie's like, I couldn't ask her to do that.
She's done enough for us this week.
Compared to, there's no way we can ask my mum to wake up at 6am
to drive through in the morning to pick you up from Edinburgh.
That's fair.
That's high.
Yeah, so from her side, it made sense.
From my side, that was an alarm bell.
I should have picked up that one had cross-purposes.
Yeah.
But there were so many of them.
And we just laughed about it all the way through.
We're like, fuck it, I've just woken Natalie up at 6 o'clock in the morning
and sent her to Edinburgh, right?
Get away with that.
That did.
And then the next day, right, Natalie was like,
I was doing my Twitch stream.
I was like, I finished my Twitch stream at 1.
Do you want to do it at 1?
She was like, oh, I've got meetings from 1,
so I'll let it be at 12 or whatever.
So what happened is she put
she sent us a text
saying
the salmon's going to be
nine minutes
and there's noodles
on the hob
they're done
or whatever right
and I looked
and it was like
11 minutes
you know when you get
the notifications
on your phone
it was 11 minutes ago
it says your salmon's
going to be ready
in nine minutes right
I was like
oh fuck
I went and I got
the two thingies of salmon
the noodles there she put some fucking veg on and all that and I enjoyed my dinner and then got the two thingies of salmon the noodles there
she put some fucking veg on and all that
and I enjoyed my dinner
and then I began to play Call of Duty
with Matty and Elliot
and at about three o'clock Natalie came down
and went I'm starving
should we have our dinner now?
She meant if I opened the text messages
If I opened the text messages
I would have read,
if you're eating it straight away,
portion me some up
and I'll just have it
when I finish my meetings.
Aye.
Right?
Or you can wait until then
and have it with me.
Aye.
If I'd opened it,
I would have seen that.
Instead, I'd just had all of it.
So, I had my friends
coming and all that right
so I had to go
and get some booze
from the shop
and everything anyway
and what I went and done
while I was at the shop
because Natalie just made herself
like a peanut butter bagel
because we didn't have much in
right
so when I was at the shop
getting like booze
and snacks from my mates coming
I got the exact same items
and made the exact same meals
so that when she come back
she had the same meals
so I was kind of
fucking redeeming myself
and she was laughing about that
because she was like
oh fucking
it's a full moon
like
I'm not going to get
worked up about anything
even if I feel like
I should get worked up
about it
I'll just let it pass
I'll reflect on it
that makes me so angry
what that's just
willing to
just notice
because it's a fucking
no what do you mean
notice
there's nothing to notice
there's nothing to notice
that's not being self aware
that's don't pretend
oh she's being
so self-aware
that she knows
that the fucking
full moon
is going to
how is a comedian
can you
how is a comedian
can he not see
the fucking
cause and effect
of full moon
and just go
I can't explain it
but fucking
crowds are micey
city centres are micey
nah
like fucking
the full moon
has definitely
got some shit
going on with it
your dad rationalised
it before
we're 70% waters
no no
he debunked that one
he said that we're not
big enough a body of water
for it to affect our tides
as people
to move our chemicals
because I thought it was
like a tidal thing
but like with us being water
his reckons
it's more primal
than that
and it's because
you're either hunting
or hunted
when there's a full moon
because you can see at night so there's still a party that switches on primal than that and it's because you're either hunting or hunted when there's a full moon because you can see at night
so there's still a part of you that switches on
primal fight or flight mode
so you're living with fight or flight mode during the time
of a full moon. That's your dad's theory
on it.
But is Natalie's
theory or has it been a full moon
that theory or is it because
Mercury was also in retrograde or whatever the fuck it is?
She's like I don't know what it is I just
know I'm different
It's not like
a recent thing to be noticed the etymology
of lunatic comes from Luna
Oh well back
when people didn't know science
That must be true
I feel like
as much as I'll fucking put star signs
in Muggle Corner and I'll talk to the hocus pocus
about fucking Reiki and all that
I'm like oh but
how much have I got to notice
this occurrence before I can
I can't explain it but something's going on
it's like home advantage
all the evidence points to the fact that
you know it is true
despite the fact that there's no reason why it should be true so I would probably be quiet about the fact that, you know, it is true, despite the fact that there's no reason why it should be true.
So I would probably be quiet
about the fact that I recognise that
behaviours seem to change when there's a full moon, right?
But Natalie's a very
outwardly spoken full mooner.
She's a flat mooner.
So she's like,
oh, there's a full moon. And then
one of our other little based on nothing things
was,
oh, and things come in threes as well.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But in the rule of three, it's stand up, absolutely.
Mate, I wish she hadn't been so fucking correct that there was a third thing coming.
Because there was a Nexus event that started with Natalie's mom
turning up with a sledgehammer and a scalpel.
She always would have found
a little thing.
Oh, she didn't need to find it.
It turned up at our door.
Right.
So this is the chain of events.
I'll try and skim through it
because
I've already spoken to you
about it in length.
Yes.
I've got all the juicy, juicy details.
Right.
So much so
that such juicy details
that you came in
and me and Cullen
watching the
Olympics
and we paused it
because we were ready
for the story
and then you started
and I was like
no no no
Cara's not here yet
so I text her
she was like
fuck it with the shower
and literally got dry
you wouldn't let us
talk about the event
no no
like Cara
because we'd been
we'd heard rumours
of this story
like you know
when something happens over a weekend
you just get a feeling something happened
no but you get like
in your group chat somebody goes
this thing's happened here's like
10% of the information
it's like the way the fucking Americans do
next time on
I'd put a couple of like key moments
in the whatsapp chat right
but it's like it's literally a fucking one-hour conversation
to unpack the whole thing, right?
It's still not fully unpacked yet.
So it started where Natalie's mom and Kat's mom,
who are totally oblivious to what they've created.
It was nothing to do with intentionally,
but this is literally just, you know,
when you trace something back to the first domino
and it's something completely different
to what happens.
We've got a trampoline in the garden
that came with the house.
We don't want it.
It looks all right.
It's fun.
It's got a novelty to it
where people go,
oh, you've got a trampoline.
Bounce on it once
and then don't do it again.
If people bring their kids around, I probably, oh, you've got a trampoline, bounce on it once and then don't do it again.
If people bring their kids around,
I probably wouldn't want their kids on the trampoline because it's up against a pebble-dash wall.
Most have safety cages.
This is up against the tap and electric plugs
and a pebble-dash wall and a window with a windowsill.
Instead of getting rid of the trampoline,
did you ever consider being less selfish
and then instead of building a deck and a crosshead,
building it upwards and just lots of Velcro
and then any kids that come round?
You could just...
Ah, you could paint a big car and go on it.
Oh, so you could trampoline, Velcro wall.
Everyone has a nice time.
Oh, yeah.
And then a flower bed underneath
or just a mattress so it doesn't hurt when it falls down.
But that's a great way.
You know when
your friends
kids are pissing
you off
because your
friends kids
are you know
shit
because your
friends are shit
because you
haven't played
that big a part
in raising them
like those
how good would
it be if he
could just
oh do you
want to go
to the
trampoline
but don't
boo
I mean did
you didn't
have a younger
brother do you
did you be
up to
yeah
she was six years younger than me
so she was
probably like wait
oh yeah fucking
fucking absolutely dead
Matthew and Jeff was class
they just like being thrown around
aye
it's good
but yeah
so even when people's kids come around
it's not
it's not like that kid friendly
I don't know if the previous one
I used it like
for exercise or something
it looks kind of novel
it's fun
like people always comment on it,
but it's six months in reuse,
and I'm like,
we're never using this.
It's the garden's south face,
and that's a sun trap.
That's the bit of the garden
that gets the most sun.
Occasionally, I'd lay on it,
but it's a bit odd.
I even one time done a seat drop,
and underneath it had pooled with water,
and because it's a porous film,
the trampoline, right?
I submerged
me full legs
and arse
in bin juice water
and then came back up
I was just having a drink
with Nelson actually
it was after one of the podcasts
I was like
we've got a trampoline
and I just come up
just black wet
I was like
you can't even use it
as a trampoline
you can't even use it
as a trampoline
I think all that happened
that you were like oh because imagine that I'doline man I think all that happened because imagine
that frozen
when you've done that
oh I've jumped on it
when it's been
snow on it
because it's classic
because the snow stays put
but like the trampoline
guy's doing it
and then when it comes
back up it springs it up
while you go down
and it's fucking
makes like a
nice visual display
so I've had my fun with it
it's just time to go on
right
so
we've been in this limbo
we've got everything sorted
With the hoose
Apart from the fact
That we've got this trampoline
That's just
Weird
Aye
And Natalie's mum
And her best friend
These two retired old ladies
Just took it upon themselves
That they were going to
Get the trampoline out
And Natalie was like
I said Natalie
We need to
Have a plan first
Of what we're going to do
Otherwise we're just going to
Be left with a hole
Aye And Natalie was like
oh when these
when these two D.I.s
get something in their head
there's no stopping them
I'm powerless to stop them
and plus
I kind of want to see
what happens
because I don't think
they can do it
right
and they just come in
sledgehammer
scalpel
fucking just
managed to get it out
thank god she had those things
just after her recent surgeries
huh
nothing
yeah
from the circumcisions.
Flirted like fuck with a workman who was felt in a garage roof
for the opposite neighbour, right?
I listened to them.
I was pretending they worked in other rooms so I didn't have to join in.
Like a real man.
Like a real man.
I was Damien Combs.
Nah, because everybody does them in July.
So they flirted with him
and they managed to get him to come do
some of the stuff I should have been doing
on the neighbour's dollar, which is cool.
And then I think they blunted one of his tools
and gave him some money.
That's nice.
So they just had a good day.
I was calling them the chuckle mothers
because that's very funny.
I mean, it scans.
It scans.
And then they had a good time.
They left and now
we've got this massive
hole in the garden
that we don't know
what we're going to
deal with.
Swimming pool.
You could put a hot
tub in it but Natalie
doesn't want an outdoor
bath that's not going
to get used.
I would use it I
reckon.
But she's like take a
bit of me in and
probably not get used be just as novel i reckon but just like take a bit of maintenance probably not
get used to be just as novel as a trampoline and then like we could maybe have like an allotment
there we could maybe it's filled up with soil decent veg and all that right we don't know what
we're going to do with this holes when i'm telling you we'll i had this guy come over and i
know ball pit uses a ball pit that'd be good you'd have to have a cover on it like it would pull
because otherwise bugs and again but i mean I mean it would I don't know.
Ball pit would be great.
So
Deep ball pit
but two
Pretty deep
dive in it
or just like
Scrooge McDuck
fill it with coins.
Aye.
He would
it's amazing
that he did not break his neck.
I know.
That's like
pretty fucking
skillful
to dive into coins
in Penetrated
I mean
I would
I just
the fact that
it's a smaller move
of him to not get it
in notes
just to show
how fucking hard he is
like you can jump
from his height
into a pile of
like paper money
loose notes
that have been put in loosely
yeah
not having been stacked
like wedge
and I'm not saying
at all
fucking cushion your fall
like a trampoline will
but it'll be way better
than if it was
just stacked notes
but
go for that
like a smaller
denate
denomination
Tom
what's the word
denomination
thank you
denomination
smaller denomination
of a harder substance
I think that was
that was his true
display of power
what was he in the business of that made him deal in coins?
Oh, I think he just emptied the vending machines.
Is he in the Scrooge McDuck?
Scrooge McDuck's in the vending machine game.
He buys his own independent ones,
leaves them outside of local swimming pools
and discotheques and bibliothèques.
Bibliothèques? Is that a library?
Aye, it's a universal business.
Me, Glenn Wool and Paul Meyerhog
got drunk once
and we coined the term
Scrooge McDuckin on having
a pot noodle in the bath. There's a leg
two for one.
Scrooge McDuckin just sounds like
whizzing the...
So you just pour your pot't there a so you just
you just pour your
pot noodles into the
bath and just like
dive in and have
some pot noodle
while you're bathing
it's called
Scrooge McDuckin
isn't there a
what's a
isn't like a
turducken
that fucking
horrible thing
they try to do
on Christmas and
Thanksgiving in
America when it's
a turkey
a duck and a
I don't know
a high ducking
is when you like
throw a fireball
at your company
well if you're
throwing a high duck and you're turducken a fireball it would be a well if you're throwing a high ducking
you're turducken
and that's what
I call Christmas
what is the
fucking turducken
yeah tur
oh yeah
the chicken
a duck
and a turkey
obviously
that's what
so Scrooge
ducking
just sticks
like a
him and Ebenezer
Scrooge
so
the ladies
they done what
they came to do
fucking left
full of self pride
they nailed
their little task
and me and Natalie
got the numbers of a
builder
me and Natalie
were just left with a hole
and em
you know what
we spoke
in your heart
we got a guy run man
and em
he come run
to
tell how much it would cost
to fill the hole
and like get a patio
give what options right
and
he's a he's an Irish guy
and I try not to discriminate
right
but you're gonna
but I
even if he didn't have
an Irish accent
and now I was gonna
get ripped off of him
and it was like
it was really hard
thinking to this guy
oh this guy's a traveller
and he's gonna try and rob us
it was really hard
not to do that
but I think that's what
was happening
so that's like
you don't want to
not discriminate someone
but also end up getting fleeced happening so that's like you don't want to not discriminate someone but also end up
getting fleeced
because anyway
that's a worst case
scenario
because then it'll
just confirm your biases
and that's the last
thing you need
so I'm there like
fucking like
torn between
being woke
and
being right
being right
but mate
like he was
fucking trying to
charge us in the region
he was fucking
trying to like
susuit
how much we had
before he even spoke about money.
Fucking Natalie was leading the way,
so the photo had loads.
Let me tack, man.
You think we've got an out?
He was fucking trying to like tack 10 grand for a patio
the size of a fucking thingy.
And then he started talking about getting my gut ass done
and all that and started pricing up jobs around my house.
And we're just like, it was during the football,
it was while the trampoline was still in and everything, right?
And we just fucking couldn't get rid of him.
We couldn't get rid of this guy.
And we're trying to pacify him
and we're just trying to get like honest prices.
He keeps showing us pictures on his phone and all that, right?
So we're left with this hole.
Yeah, just buy us, he's Googled.
It could well have been.
He's like, look, that's a patio, that's a patio.
And he was like, the cheapest one you'll get
will be about four grand
and it's these stones
you know how it was
it was fucking stones
that you get just on the pavement
who'd say the shops and that
just like you know
council pavement
so I was just like
fucking
I still don't know
what we're going to do
with this hole
or how much it's going to be
right
but
the night after
my friends come around
they're staying for one night
right
this is like
a friend who I'm not going to name,
so we're going to call him Matty.
But it's not Matty.
Wink, wink.
So fucking Matty is ruined.
And there's four of me mates,
two couples, right?
And me and Natalie.
And we just had the best night.
We're fucking singing karaoke,
we're drinking.
Because we've been at my gig as well
so we've been out
and in
so we had like
we had the comedy
we had some day drinking outside
we had the party back
we were meant to get a takeaway
but we just decided
that we'd gone out
for breakfast
and used the breakfast items
to make a midnight breakfast
Michelle's a mint cook
and she made loads of pancakes
so we had pancake stacks
and bacon
and we're just fucking
having a good time
singing karaoke
we're fucking
we've ended up like
peeling off one by one
going to bed
and then I woke up
the next day
just like last night
was mint
just what we needed
like hadn't seen them
in ages
and then
decided to go out
for breakfast
and we went to Shawlins
and it's just sunny
and it's nice
and we've got fucking
bloody marys
Shawlins is part of Glasgow
yes
it's just
it's not
Shawlins is part of Glasgow
it's just quite nice it's got some like trendy bars, it's just, it's not, Shorland's a part of Glasgow,
it's just quite nice.
It's got some like,
trendy bars and that,
hipster cafes and that,
you're not that far from an avocado.
And,
they were just like,
oh,
it's such a shame,
we can't do one more night,
like,
my parents have got the kids and all that,
and they just fucking
went some phone calls
and decided to stay
because
the two lads,
right,
Matty and Kevv so if anyone's seen
my Insta story
you can deduce
that I'm not
talking about Kev
they're really like
Matty works
in the tools trade
and like
he's good
he's good with his hands
and Kev's a good
craftsman right
so the pair of the lads
are just like
we could sort your deck
in for you
we could get it done
while we're here
if we stay another day
so he used that
as a good excuse to stay
so like that's where
the Nexus event
started from
Matley's parents
because they would have
been on their way
after that
right
so they sourced
some timber
and all that
and they're having
a whale of a time
this is like two lads
in their element
and I'm
where do you source
timber from
I actually did I think it was do you source timber from I actually
I think it was
do you reckon it's like
they didn't have
what they were looking for
and B&Q
so they went to like
somewhere that's
connected
somewhere that
Matty
do you reckon it's like
with like
fucking drug dealers
so like if I was
if I was going to
if I was going to
if I was in Melbourne
right
and I get to Melbourne
and I'm after drugs
I'm like right
I don't know how to get drugs in Melbourne but I know people who know how to get drugs in Melbourne, right, and I get to Melbourne and I'm after drugs, I'm like, right, I don't know how to get drugs in Melbourne,
but I know people who know
how to get drugs in Melbourne.
So I'd text,
you know,
fucking,
I'm not going to mention any of your names,
but.
Let's say Matty.
Yeah.
Let's just say Matty.
I would,
I would find Matty
in Melbourne
or white Matty
in Melbourne as well.
And one of those
would have drugs
do you reckon it's that
with wood products
like if you just work in
is that where
I mean that's what it was
for me
because I like
I wouldn't know
where to get wood
you could probably
google it and find out
there's just like
10 by odds
like it's probably
not that hard
to be honest
but like
Matthew Cunning
thank you
what are you
oh John
I'll take that
in the tank
you stupid
gun
so
he sourced
the word
he got it
and they
start going to
work
they're in the
element
and they're
drinking
and I had me
bloody merry
in the morning
right
but I was like I'm going to stop drinking because I the element and they're drinking and I had me bloody merry in the morning right but I was like
I'm going to stop
drinking now
because I've still
got a gig
so they all
like the last
oh yeah what capacity
is the stand at
I think they had
about a hundred in
nice Glasgow
aye
it was full
from like
like they were using
all of the space
aye
but it was just
aye
but you know
if they didn't have
socially distancing
they would have
probably had the
back area cordoned
off
and still had a
little bit of
the people towards
the bar
squeezed in
so they just
like called a
capacity and
spread everybody
out and it
just felt nice
how was it
it was class
really nice
really good to be
back and the
crowd just
fucking so
who were you
on with
I was on with
Dave Fulton
Chris Forbes
and Liam Farrelly
who I'd never seen before
who totally smashed it
I think I know Liam
I mean I definitely do
so
I just can't remember
how I know him
so right
they start
you're googling him
aye
I think he's just
signed with a white agent
yeah
do I need to beep that
an hour or not
no
no
because I was
tired of him
he's been working
on Marlena oh yeah absolutely man I'm just so shy with did you beep that in Arlen or not no because I was tired of that he's been waiting for me all year
oh yeah
absolutely
man I'm just so
shite with
he was absolutely
class
I didn't know
how new he was
but I'd never
seen him before
but I
was great
Chris Forbes
was mint now
Dave Fulton
was class
so it's just
a good line up
everyone done well
lot of straight
white men
thanks man
so I couldn't drink with them so they're in the heat of the day great white men. Thanks, man.
So,
I couldn't drink with them.
So, they're in the heat of the day drinking cocktails all day
because the last time I was making mojitos
and all that
and bringing the wood for them.
Magentos.
And they were just fucking chopping timber
and being men.
And I was just
staying sober.
I had a gig to get there.
Just having a nice time in the sun, right?
So, what you're telling me is there's two
men
were building
some decking in your garden
and
you couldn't help
because
you're in the arts
mate
look
I've got a different set of skills
they're good at doing stuff
and I'm good at sitting here
attacking them
I don't want to apologise for that mate They're good at doing stuff and I'm good at sitting here talking about it.
I don't want to apologise for that, mate.
It's not how we're inclined.
I feel that.
I get in the way.
I make a mess.
I like knitting.
That's why I got these soft hands.
I'm like my big, skinny builder friends.
So, they were drinking all day, right?
And when I come back from my gig,
it was about like
half past nine,
ten o'clock at night.
We bought all of the booze
for that day
and I had to swing by
and get more booze
to go and back, right?
Like,
we misjudged
how much drinking
was going to be done.
When I got back,
there was no catching up
with them, right?
I was trying.
I was having cocktails,
I was having shots
and all that,
but there was no way
starting at 10 at night
is going to catch up
with people who have been
day drinking in the sun
from 10 in the morning
you're just not going to
get there right
and everyone was
having a wild time
but
one of the lads
Matty
typical Matty too
he was
he was starting to like
God I fucking hate Matty
I'm trying to say that
on this podcast
I'm going to get off my fucking hate Matty I'm trying to say that on this podcast I want to get off
my fucking chest right now
I've always fucking hated him
just for the record
you're talking about Matty
or Matty
Matty
Matty
because the other Matty
who I'm talking about
has got a little
because I was in two minds
when I was talking about this
on the podcast
but I thought to myself
I won't confirm
which Matty I'm talking about
but I need you to know
I fucking hate Matty
I thought to myself
we made who was our who we're going to talk about who we'm talking about but I need you to know I fucking hate that we made who was our
who we're going to talk about
who we are talking about
he listens to this podcast
right
but he's not
he started from episode one
and he's up to 150
so he's got like
he's got 75 episodes
or around about that
before he catches up
with this one
alright
so like
it's all going to be
what our offer ducks back
by the time he listens to it
well if if not then who cares so uh he starts like arguing with somebody about whoever there's
cheese in the sauce right this doesn't mean i've got to try and just brush out this as quick as i
can right starts arguing with someone that is cheese sauce. Right? I'm not there for this point, right?
Is there cheese in the sauce? No, there's not cheese
in the sauce, right? And then he
eats it and it tastes like there's cheese in the sauce.
Well, it's a white sauce, but there's some soft cheese in.
We didn't put the cheese in because it doesn't
matter, right? It's one of those
absolutely doesn't matter
arguments. So they had like a bit of static
about cheese sauce.
That's how
fucking trivial this is
right
but when I got back
that argument was done
the person who
the argument was with
was a bit upset
and annoyed
by him
right
and he had moved on
asking his last wife
she didn't stick up for him
and I whacked in
on that bit
so it was just
I come back
and there was a nice
spread of food on
everyone was happily drunk
Ricketts had arrived.
He brought oysters back
to him from the end of the sky.
We can't dob Ricketts
and we've got to change
his name to something else.
Right.
Let's call him Cullen.
Cullen.
Cullen.
Big, bald Cullen arrives.
He'd been at the end of the sky
just diving for oysters.
With his teeth.
Like a golem.
And he started putting like
sriracha sauce on
and fucking
dishing them out
and all that
like those good vibes
right
but just a
I bet that's the last thing
a Scottish oyster
expected to see as well
sriracha sauce
like if you're
if you're an oyster
off the
the Gulf of fucking Mexico
like you're used to that
you hear stories about
how your ancestors died
only fucking rickets
I love Scottish oysters
and Mexican sauce
and
he's just locked onto this thing
that he was right
about the argument
right
and he can't let it go
and now somebody's just
had a drink
and they're just like
it could have been anything
that he's locking onto
he's just locked onto something
and now he's like he's upset that somebody didn't had a drink and they're just like, it could have been anything that he's locking onto, he's just locked onto something.
And now he's upset that somebody didn't back him up.
And now the husband of the... It's just one of those things
when a fucking drunk cunt gets something into their head
and because they're so drunk,
nothing else goes into their head.
It's the only thing they're able to focus on.
And it happens to all of the worst drunk people I know.
You just get a point in the evening where you just go,
oh man, you're just focused on this now
and there's nothing that'll ever get you off this topic
until fucking unconsciousness.
And I wish unconsciousness had come sooner for him
because he started upsetting one of the lads
because one of the lads stepped in and tried to have a word with him
and then he was just like, wait,
I'm not talking to him
for the rest of the night.
Like,
he's fucking,
he's spoiling me night.
He's blowing me buzz.
Keep me away from him.
So like,
one by one,
he's starting to upset people.
The last one that met the source,
the fucking,
her fella,
his own last.
And now I'm getting a bit upset
because he's fucking spoiling me party.
So I'm getting involved,
right?
And he starts fucking screaming
that I can't get involved
because I wasn't there
with the chief source argument,
right?
And I'm like,
you could have been arguing
that the fucking sky was blue,
man, and this is inappropriate what you're doing now. But he was just locked in and he couldn't get out of it and't there with the cheese sauce argument right and I'm like mate you could have been arguing that the sky was blue man and this is inappropriate
what you're doing now
but he was just
locked in
he couldn't get out
of it
and I was actually
saying to him
I was like
what do you need
what response
do you want
from people here
do you want
Waldo to just
like sit down
and apologise
about cheese sauce
so that he can be
pacified so he can
get on
and he just
obviously took that
as condescending
because it was
it was my intent
right
he starts getting upset with me and I'm trying to
send him to bed and all that and then he does
go on and then he comes back up with just his shorts on
and say one last thing and it's
starting to get a bit loud for the neighbours so I'm like
this guy needs to get something off his chest
he needs to thrash this out right so I fucking
it's getting on midnight at this point
and I took him out into the woods
with a shotgun, took him out into the woodlands
fucking stroked his hair.
Just like, sorry man, this has to happen.
He just got him a nice little wabbit.
So I'm like, I've had like a drink or two.
I'm trying to catch up, right?
But I'm with somebody who's fucking lost their main waboos.
And we were in the woods for fucking two hours
and he went through every single emotion that there is to go through.
It was difficult.
Was it like a... I've not been in the woods for two hours and he went through every single emotion that there is to go through it was like it was difficult was it like a
I've not been in the woods
in your house
is it like a play of witch woods
pitch black
pitch black
no ambient light
really
like my eyes like
started
but like
is it a deep
forest that's undiscovered
or like during the day
is it where people
walk their dogs
during the day
they'd be like
kids running around
playing dog walkers
and that's like
it's just a fun
little bit of woodland
you know if you've
got any fairgrounds
that comes from land
would it be a good
place to play hunt
at night time
yes
it would be a good
place to take your
cards as a teenager
okay
me and Cara
noticed those places
when we were like
it's just good
it's like
I bet loads of kids
get fingered down there
but that's where
you get fingered you know but that's where you get
fingered you know and i was like talking to me just push over that just push over that
um so i i like i'm not gonna disclose too much because he's clearly got a bunch of stuff going
on but there was one point where he was crying asking us to hit him right and i'm like typical
matty to be honest typical matical Matty. I was like,
this isn't about the cheese sauce, this.
There's something else going on here.
This is more than the cheese sauce.
That's very therapist of your kind.
I don't think you're qualified.
I know.
Like, when I was trying to talk
from, like, get to the bottom of this point of view,
like, I really made him turn on us a lot.
Because, you know, I like it.
You know what it felt like?
It felt like if...
This is just like an old proverb. This felt like it felt like if this is just like
an old proverb
this isn't me
like fucking relaying
my own
but if there's a lion
with a thorn in its paw
and you try and like
get the thorn out
it hurts on the way out
the lion thinks
it's you
inflicting the pain
and then it strikes at you
and like
he was really
going at us at some point
which was quite funny
because he didn't really
have much to insult us for
so like he was really
clutching at straws
and didn't really
hit home much
but he was just
trying to attack
us at points you
know like trying to
character assassinate
someone that's
perfect that's kind
of odd that
I guess it's better
that he missed because
that's why I always
get fucking worried
about see if I get
fucking like wound
up or just angry at
someone and it's in
that point where you
were just so annoyed
but like I know I've
got the capability to
say the worst things and I'm like I know I've got the capability to say
the worst things
and I'm like
you know UFC
fighters aren't
allowed to fucking
punch anyone in
real life because
their fists are
legally declared
as weapons
sometimes I feel
like that was
my words
I'm glad it was
just Matty then
the best he had
was like bit
realistically telling
us I was
pretentious
which you are and I was like what if pretentious. Which you are. And I was like
what if pretentious is having like a high enough stand
that I just scream your
heat off. Aye.
Kai you're very pretentious. You got
a trampoline
turned into decking. Aye. You got
like a free trampoline and
you were like I'm going to spend money
on a place to sit
in the sun. that's the definition
of pretentious to me
and he told us
I wasn't there
for him as well
which was harsh
because I just
rammed off a bunch
of times that I was
there for him
so I was like
you weren't there
for me during the
pandemic
god
I'm going to use
that on all my friends
man I live 500 miles
away and I'm not
allowed out the house
but I literally
zoom called you
fucking every single
week
right I mean you keep dropping clues in here and I think but I literally zoom called you fucking every single week right
I mean you keep
dropping clues in here
and I think
I think
I think the Matty thing
is a double bluff
I think this is actually
Matthew Cannon
it's like
I think you've actually
been very clever
about this
so I come out with the words
with bruised boobs
nah so like
look I don't
I don't want to fucking
light him up too hard
because he's
going for some
fucking shit
and they
they drink hit him hard
and it was a full moon
and he'd been like
I swear to god
there's one point
where he fucking
mentioned
this is where I was like
you fucking
I've just done your deck
and I was like
I was like
mate that gets
that gets any gratitude
that like
that doesn't buy permission
to slip the fucking
scream punches in the woods
take the wood back with you
if that's the fucking
transaction like
but no
it was like
fucking it was hard
it was hard man
like I fucking
because I didn't
I didn't end up having a night
because I spent like
my night at work
and then the night in the woods
and the thing that stopped
is
the thing that drew
that to a conclusion
was
his last whacking
around the street
shouting his name.
It's like...
Marty!
Marty!
Marty Canning!
Marty!
Stinkish Minkus!
Stinkish Minkus!
Stinkish Minkus!
Pinsir!
Pinsir, come home, Pinsir!
Pinsir, Pinsir, Pinsir, Pinsir, Pinsir!
Pinsir, Pinsir!
Pinsir! I can't do it. Stinkish Pinsis! Pinsis, Pinsis, Pinsis, Pinsis, Pinsis! Pinsis, Pinsis! Pinsis...
I can't do it.
Stinkis, Pinsis?
It's such a...
Pinsis, Minkis?
Pinsis, Minkis?
Did you tell me that one of your neighbours
lost a dog at one in the morning
and started shouting that dog's name,
who also happens to be your fiancé's name?
Yeah, so we...
That is some jarring shit right there.
But when we... right there but when we
this was like
when we just moved in
as well
like I remember it
because I had
I had the alleys over
fuck it she's changed
their names
the Mattys
had the Mattys over
and like
we were just fucking
building like
Ikea furniture
and just having
a couple drinks
and me and Cara
were still sleeping
on the floor
we had the mattress
because we didn't
the bed hadn't arrived yet and
we could just hear
Cara
and I'm like
it's one of the fucking alleys outside being a
knob and we're
Cara and it goes on to the point where
it's not funny anymore
and I'm like it's so weird and then we go upstairs
and they're going who's shouting
your girlfriend's name?
So I open the fucking thing, and there's just this voice going,
Cara, and man, like, there are rules of society
when you live in a nice area.
You don't make fucking noise after midnight.
Man, you don't make noise after 10.
Like, if you've got fucking...
You know what?
Some ambient noise coming out of your house.
It's fine. And if it's summer, and, like, you've got You know what some ambient noise coming out of your house is fine.
And if it's
if it's summer
and like you've had
a barbecue that's been
going on all day
And it's not a school night.
And it's not a school night
you know fair enough
there are certain exceptions
it's Hogmanay
etc etc
Call me pretentious.
Shut the
I don't
I don't
I get fucking so angry
because I'm such a
light sleeper as well.
So I open up and I've got no sympathy.
You're making noise.
You're ruining
everyone else's evening.
I'm,
I'll stand up for everyone else
in the neighbourhood.
I'm this neighbourhood batman.
I just went,
shut the fuck up.
And there was just silence
for a bit.
She's like,
I've lost my dog.
And I'm like,
I couldn't give a fucking shit.
Like,
there are whistles
only dogs can hear
use one of those
why are you using
your fucking voice
that everyone can hear
you fuck it
oh and I was just like
I thought you would have
helped find the dog
not at one in the fucking morning
man it's a wolf right
if it can't survive the night
in middle class Scotland
it deserves to die
during the evening
like we have accidentally
left Ray out
right overnight a 14 year old cat pensioner yeah a 14 year old deserves to die during the evening. We have accidentally left Ray out overnight.
A 14-year-old cat.
Pensioner.
Yeah, a 14-year-old pensioner fucking cat
that spent the first 11 years of its life.
That's never once confirmed a kill.
Yeah.
Oh, no.
Has now.
The vol mind.
Oh, yeah.
Like, if our cat can survive in this area nine hours,
your fucking dog staying outside,
shut the living fuck up.
I've got no sympathy for it.
That's pretty funny.
So basically I had that cringe of like
hearing this high-pitched piercing voice
like reaching me in the woods,
coming from my estate.
And I'm like,
fuck, I only thought I had one person to pacify.
I thought I was pacifying him
on her behalf
because she was getting upset.
Right, so I'm like...
But what you've actually done is you've brought
a fucking Geordie domestic
up to middle class
Glasgow.
You tried to bury your past, but that's
why I was going to stay friends with Matthew Cunningham.
Uh-huh. So I take
Matthew in.
I take Matthew in his bird pack in, right?
It had me so a little bit of a fucking huff
of how many nights panned over, right?
Because I was, like, really excited
about the way everything was going.
I'd had such a belt at the time.
And we were just fucking out,
peel off and go out of bed.
And I'm, like, lying in bed pretty sore.
I tell Natalie I'm a bit sad
because of just, like,
the way I've been treated
by one of my best pals and that.
Eh?
I'm talking about
one of my pals.
I do that.
I'm trying not to take it personally
because I know
it's not about me.
Trying to like
take my own ego out of it.
And like,
you know,
whoever was in front of them there
would have
gotten a character assassination
at some point
and like they would have had the worst at some point and they would have had
a worse of a character so it would have hurt them more
oh god you're such a
humble man
because my character is almost flawless
I got away pretty much unscathed
really, is this what he means by pretentious?
halfway through did he ever look you in the eyes
and be like I just let you know
you are the type of cunt who would put eggy bread
in a toaster
I need you to know that
that that is well
within your fucking heart
don't pour a dip
it's called dip
aye
and also
what's with your
directional skills mankind
real bad
yes anyway
it's like really hard
to go after me
sometimes
you know the speed limit
is the target
so I just fucking got to bed.
And then I wake up to Natalie going,
Guy, the police are here.
I'm like...
This again?
At the door.
And she went,
In the house?
Oh my God, they found your laptop.
Fuck, man.
I am so glad that... This isn't going towards the laptop thing.
I am so glad that these mates weren't cokie mates.
Aye.
You know, if it had been, like, any of me cokie mates,
they wouldn't have acted like that
because they would have been present at mine.
But, you know, people haven't tied you up before.
They got out of bed, they rolled up notes,
the baggies and all that. It's the police have come in a crack down either
though they that would have been the fucking worst but I what they took it
took that domestic on to me fucking drive they fucking started arguing it
said hmm in like she was wanting to gan and he was trying to say away where
would you go and come back in and all that right and like to the outside it was like a lass trying to leave
and fucking lad trying to keep her there and that and the fucking police were calling
and I fucking come downstairs to four cops in my house sitting here explaining to them
that she's alright they were just rowing and like you know checking just to double
check that she's alright and then they realised it was like a false alarm but like they fucking
treated it like it was
bad you know
and then
I was fucking
mortified man
like I was absolutely
fucking gutted
like Nenewa would
tackle him the next day
like he fucking
ended up getting
the train back
he didn't get a lift back
with the rest of them
and
fuck me man
it was a fucking
disaster
I think that's
what fucking
lasted as well
that moves the trampoline
well that'll teach you
for being pretentious
like
had you just fucking
kept the trampoline
or had you turned it
into a ball pit
guarantee you kept it
and wanted to make
a fucking ball pit
but had to get some
expert in
an expert's not going
to get some
stroking drink
and fall down
your porch
so eh aye so that's that was my weekend that's why I don't have any dad jokes oh well that's not going to get sunstroke and drink volcano porch. Mm-mm. Mm-mm. So, aye.
So that was my weekend.
That's why I don't have any dad jokes.
Oh, well, that's...
You know what?
I actually don't.
Wait, is that just a Geordie version of my dog ate my homework?
Oh, sorry.
I couldn't write some jokes.
My mate needs therapy.
Grow up.
That's your mate's problem, not yours. Oh, I was too tired. Oh, the police were round about the house. I couldn't write some jokes my mate needs therapy grow up that's your mate's problem not your mate's
Oh I was too tired
Oh the police were round about the house
I couldn't write the fucking dad jokes
that I reminded you
to write this morning
Oh that's hilarious
You know it's funny
when the police left
because we realised
it was a false alarm
and they left
and when they were leaving
I was fucking kicking off at them
for not taking them
I was going
are you going to leave him here
you've got a van
fucking take him
away
they're just laughing
at us
they're like
fucking here again
from the airport
fucking
coming out
of the woodwork
well that's what
he said
I went downstairs
he was like
oh there's people
coming out of the
woodwork everywhere
it's my house
you've come out
of the woodwork
would they like to
just get in
just come through the door are they allowed to do like to, so they just get in? Just go through the door.
Are they allowed to do that?
I think if it's domestic violence,
that they were getting called in for,
because it wasn't domestic violence,
but like,
it was called out for that.
I didn't think they were going to,
like,
you know what,
whoever called the police,
like,
they're right to call them,
because you'd rather call them and be wrong,
than not call them and be wrong.
So like,
it was the correct thing to do.
But like, but rules are rules rules and they will be getting stitches i respect i respect what you did it was the right
thing to do but until the imprisonment was changed so today by the street laws today i went to me
next door neighbor's house right because natalie said she heard like the neighbor shout something
and then the police arrived.
Because Natalie didn't sleep through it, I did.
And Ricketts, who'd come from here...
No, it's Cullen.
Cullen had his camper van on the drive
and didn't know about it until the morning.
He got up and joined with her for breakfast and all that.
Like, what about last night, eh?
It was the night after
they've gone
and fucking
he was just going
eh
he doesn't need
a man on the drive
Mr Domestic
Mr fucking
police code
Mr Neighbour
shouting
stupid Colin
so I slept through
but at least I wasn't
like you know
in a sleeping bag
in the middle of it
just gives you
a real insight
to Colin's childhood
yeah
like if you could sleep like if you could sleep through
a man and a woman
screaming at each other
to the point where the
domestic abuse plan is called
and you don't wake up
tell me you're from Newcastle without telling me you're from Newcastle
what a happy
happy childhood
I'll fucking kill you
I never fucking loved you
Rick it's so to sleep
me me me me me me me
I'm leaving
where you gonna go
bitch
Rick it's in his big toe
sorry Colin
we just call him Rick
it's because of the
bone eating disease
he had when he was a child
aye but that would be
when Colin eats bones
that's how he got diseased
he just kept sucking the marrow out of it.
I do that.
It's nice.
Is it?
It's a delicacy in England,
but like the last resort in Africa.
It's also...
Trevor, no, I was laughing about it in his book.
What, you just have dog bone?
You pay that much for it?
Isn't it?
Also, isn't bone marrow transfusion
a thing
yeah
I suppose we're not
eating the human one
imagine the price
that gets on the
fucking black market
yep
they're good
so
I knocked on my neighbours
right
I went and got some flowers
and I went and got some chocolates
and I
knocked on the door
and I went
I just want to apologise
about my guests
for the weekend
I didn't want to come
empty handed
so I had them
and she flat rejected
the gifts right
oh you pissed her off
that much
that's exactly what I thought
I was like
oh no she doesn't want us
to be able to like
buy back any goodwill
or redeem herself
she'd rather just
go and nap
right
and
I just went
no go on please take them.
It's for you as much as it is for me
as much as it's for you.
I need to apologise somehow.
Otherwise, I'm going to fucking post these flowers
through the letterbox.
So you fucking,
do you want me jamming a fucking double decker
through there
or do you want to take it with my hands, bitch?
She was like,
nah, these weren't that bad.
And I was like,
we both know that's not true.
We both know that's not true aye we both know that's not true
and she just went
well the kids are making noise
all the time
and I was like
that's children
playing through the day
this is like
police turning out
to a domestic
disturbance at night
like they're not comparable
and she just went
the police were here
and she had
fucking me idea
she had the idea
the police had turned up
and that they'd be driving on.
So it must have been people out on the road that shouted.
So you're going to give them a gift?
I don't know.
I'm going to have to get on door to door.
I like the opposite of trick or treating.
I'm honestly going to have to get on door to door.
That was nice because I just had a chat.
She was like,
Hi, I know you called on number two, but there was actually number four. going to have to get a daughter though it was nice because I just had a chat and she was like dressed up as your other neighbour and she was like
hi I know you called
on number two
but it was actually
number four
and
it's me Brian Donaldson
from that number
and I'm sorry
for shouting at my wife
but
it's been
it's been very eventful
you know what
all in all
I've had a good time
it's been a
it's been a ride
I was going at Natalie.
He even had your Jordies up
for a fucking pint
if you haven't got the cups out.
Aye, well.
But I'm not tightening them at the minute.
So if he does listen to this,
he'll return.
I'm not tightening them
until he sorts his cell out.
I can't...
You know what?
Matty, you fucking...
You can't just carry on like,
oh, no, it's fine.
It's cracked. I'll do it again. Do it again. Do it tomorrow. Do it next week. Just keep acting like that. You know what? Matty, you fucking... You kind of just carry on like, oh, no, it's fine, mate.
Crack on.
Do it again.
Do it again.
Do it tomorrow.
Do it next week.
Just keep acting like that.
You've got to be like... Take a long, hard look in the mirror, Matthew Canning.
A long, hard look in your coked up mirror.
Just to be a good mate
sometimes you've just got to be like
a little bit
conversation
a little
I've got it wrong
how do I get that wrong
I don't know
a little less conversation
a little more action
sometimes you've just got to be
that kind of friend
I don't get it
was I Elvis
I think I was aye
but like
sorry
sorry's just not enough
suck my dick
aye
nah would that help you know what would help if you stopped drinking it would help sorry's just not enough suck my dick nah
would that help
you know what would help
if you stopped drinking
it would help
if you went to see a therapist
it would help
if he identified
that he was
having issues
but it'd have to
just crack on like that
like how are you
I just
I do not
come on next week
we'll have a drink
at that time
would it
it's so hard man from like lads were my way to going for therapy because it's it's so hard man
from like
lads were my way
to going for therapy
because it
it's like
it gets received
as an insult
therapy
therapy gets received
as an insult
if you suggest it
like when we were
in the woods
having a fucking
having a set two
I suggested it
and he took it
like it was a direct attack
and it was like
I'll never understand
that
therapy's class
there's such a like it's really direct attack. And it was like... I'll never understand that. Therapy's class. There's such a...
Like, it's really fucking sad.
There's a really disproportionate
fucking male suicide rate
in the rest of the world,
in my hometown.
Fuck, damn you, Mike Ashley.
It's fucking hell
because of Mike Ashley and the tune.
It's because the stigma on getting therapy
is that you could have lost somebody.
You could be going through a divorce.
There could be stuff that you just need to talk about.
Could be a global pandemic we all live through.
Yeah, and to tell somebody you should try therapy is like saying,
have you tried checking yourself into the asylum
and announcing that you're mental to everybody?
Have you tried dating that
that's how it's
received
it's not received
as like oh I
could probably
not hit this
switch when I'm
drunk if I just
unpack the
fucking damage
that's been done
that I'm not
identifying
if you suggested
someone like oh
your car seems to
be playing up
do you want to
put it in the
garage
they wouldn't
have
fuck you say
your car's perfect
don't rhyme with
your car
your car's fucking
mint
like you that does sound like people from your area does I bad example they wouldn't hand fuck you say your car's perfect no rhyme on your car your car's fucking mint like
so you feel like
that does sound like
people from your area
does aye
bad example
so I
I just think
I just think
it's really sad
that like
people are not like
they're not action
real big alarm bells
real fucking
huge alarm bells
that their rental house
isn't in shape
I say myself I have to therapy immediately after X aye Cynlluniau fawr iawn o'u llawrnt yw nad yw eu celf yn ymddygiad. Rwyf wedi dweud fy hun yn ymwneud â'r X.

from that
they've admitted
that there's something
wrong with them
instead of admitting
there's something
fucking up
it's like
it's toxic masculinity
I also think
it's at the point
now
like we've got
like man
we've got friends
who are in the army
which is like
the most
like typically
toxic masculine
sort of thing
there. They go to therapy
and they admit it's class. I don't understand.
You can't sit there and go
therapy's a weak thing and then your friends who were
squatties and did
the hardest fucking thing. How about this straight
face? Can you be like, nah,
it's a weak thing to do.
Maybe it is that. Maybe it's like,
I'm not going to sign up for the same thing
that these guys
who have lost
friends to bullets
and got PTSD
sign up for
just because I
can't handle
my drink
like
like maybe
maybe it's a bit
of that
maybe it's like
well I'm not
going to tap
at this point
when it takes
them much longer
to tap
I just fucking
stop looking at
it as tapping out
it's not tapping out it's taking the game longer I mean to be Mae'n dynnu yn y gwaelod. Dwi'n dweud yn dda. Dwi'n dweud yn dda.

Dwi'n dweud yn dda.
Dwi'n dweud yn dda. Dwi'n dweud yn dda. but then we just didn't talk for a bit and I was like, oh, maybe I'll just get a new one just because I fancy
somebody else with a different speciality
because my problem
is fucking different now
so Cara's been helping me, she's just a fucking
man, I hate research
I would much rather you give me
three options and I just point at one
than actually be the person that looks through
a list of a hundred things, works
out the best fucking options
does my head in, but
Cara's helping me, she keeps me fucking
keeps my ADD in check and we just fucking
go through it and I send off an email
which is just to say, I've had therapy
for a bit but I fancy a bit more
just my head's not in the right place and also
my addictions come back, I know it's
only weed but it's like something I'd rather
I'd like to get under control
and sort of find out where it comes from
and why I'm with this.
This woman reply,
this is a professional therapist guy.
This is her job to do this.
Replies, hi, sorry.
I'm fully booked up at the moment,
which is like, it's annoying,
but it's a good thing.
Yeah.
The fact that all the therapists,
like I say that to Cara.
It's good that it's popular.
It's creating a demand for it.
More people are going
to try to do it
because it's a job
market.
Right.
This is great.
Like I'm annoyed
because this seemed
like a good one and
I didn't want her.
But if she's busy,
I'm not going to be
selfish enough to
not acknowledge this
as a good thing.
And then she was
like, oh, by the
way, marijuana is
actually a depressive
so just don't do it.
Thank you.
Bye.
And I'm like, oh,
just don't do it. That bye and i'm like oh just don't do it that's the fucking there it is that's the word p.s have a banana man i tell you what i'm glad she's not the fucking
therapist i wouldn't be able to fucking put up with that have you tried not doing it ah every
day that's the main goal of most of my days you You know what as well? You know that it's okay not to be okay?
Disagree.
No, no.
That is step one, and people think that that's the thing.
Aye.
The thing is, it's okay to not be okay, right?
You can admit that you're not okay.
You're not alone if you admit that you're not okay.
The goal isn't to just stay not okay.
You still want to,
you want to try and get back to okay.
You want to try and find okay if you've never had it.
You want to,
the goal,
that's just,
that's just the stage one.
There's so many steps after that.
The first step is admitting there's a problem,
but it's like people who are self-aware about their flaws.
You go,
nah, nah, motherfucker.
You don't just get to be self-aware
and be like, yeah look, I've got a short temper
and I'm a bitch sometimes
you go, right, now do the other five steps
do the other five steps that get you to the point
where you are no longer fucking that
but people just like the, no
I'm aware of what I am and I'm not going to change who I am
why? who you are is shit
it is like
if people around you
are getting hurt,
if you fucking
leave a party
and fucking three people
have been crying
and one person
never wants to talk to you again,
like you,
you should probably go
and I should probably
rectify that.
Oh really?
Oh,
oh shit,
shit,
shit,
shit.
She said she was busy,
can't he?
Fuck.
Okay.
Okay, I'll try and be athletic
do you want to play some shows
yeah we're going to do
the fringe
aye I am
I think I'm going to
up in Fahey
and then run out of the road
and do a
I don't know if it's out yet
I'm going to do
a show with
Ryan Cullen
Slut
Sluts all three
of you
Sluts
I should change
their names
I'm going to do
a show with
Gareth and
Ryan
and the whole
goal is
to do new
material
but what I'm
going to do
is I'm going to
tell them it's new material watch them flowing over going to do is I'm going to tell them
it's new material
right
watch them flowing over
bits of paper
and then I'm going to
just fucking be my club set
and just go
thanks for listening
to my new stuff guys
that was my favourite way
to play setlist
whatever it was
which was to just go on
and be like
I know everyone else
is doing setlist
I'm not
I'm recording
a fucking special tomorrow
and these are all my zingers
Hitler's third
moustache
so we're going
to do a new
material show
20 minutes each
which will
you know what
it's going to be
different levels of
fun depending on
when you come in
the run
we're going to do
like I think
we're doing 10 days
if you come at the
beginning it's going
to be fun because we'll be all over the place if that's your jam like I think we're doing 10 days if you come at the beginning it's going to be fun
because we'll be all over the place
if that's your jam
but then towards the end
it'll be fun
because we've actually worked
on this stuff
and honed it
and it's got punchlines
so like it's going to be
and hopefully this year
we won't be raging alcoholics
here in the fringe
for like the first time
because our venues
are so far away
and I don't know
how much of a hub
there's going to be this year
I'll be driving quite a bit
and I'll be fucking
I'll be fucking dead I'll be fucking dead.
I'll be fucking dead
if I drink with any fucking English comments.
You're not English.
You'll be dead if you drink an English comment.
Just not during this year's Fringe.
They don't get to fucking come up here.
This is the Scottish Fringe.
This is the Fringe.
Are you looking at this as the Fringe is how it should be?
Aye.
This is the fucking...
We've kept the mood right the last minute
and then went
right it's on sake
we're only locals

but some of you
rat bastards
still went out
so you're just
going to take off
on my dad
and then he responds
aye

Matty's dad
nice
Matty's dad
started a petition
to get Chapdaw
run into the Olympics
Matty's dad goes belly up on get Chapdor run into the Olympics.
Matty's dad goes belly up on dates to show he's not a threat.
Matty's dad refuses to call it a unitard, as he thinks.
It's an offensive and outdated term.
Instead, he calls it a poof onesie.
Your dad picks his nose like he's fingering a girl and trying to get her to squirt.
Manated.
Right.
Matty's dad you mean?
No, no, that was your dad.
Oh, yeah.
And Matty's dad thinks
keyhole surgery
mean it's done through the arsehole
because that's where he keeps his keys.
Nice.
Also, I'm doing the fringe.
Goodbye takes to that.
The end.
