Good afternoon, maybe, podcast listeners. Welcome to another episode of Sloss and Humphreys on the Road.
This week we spoke about tea. We argued about tea for a bit. I got my mum on the phone. I don't know what the quality of that was like since she was on loudspeaker.
But, I mean, you've listened to the podcast before, you know. You know what we're fucking like.
We also... What the fuck did we talk about? speaker but I mean you've listened to the podcast before you know what we're fucking like we also
what the fuck did we talk about
oh fuck loads of good stuff
it was a funny episode
I genuinely laugh lots but I can't remember
a single fucking thing
we're talking about your mum and dad coming to visit
oh aye
you were talking about the Harry Potter themed
yes
themed session
man I can't remember it was a good episode it was up there a themed yes themed session I
man
I can't remember
it was a good episode
it was like
it was up there
in like my top 50
how many of these
have we done
we've done about 250
so that's a good goal
yeah that's top
20%
that's fair
anyway
fucking listen to it
I mean you are already
I don't know
I still don't get the point
of these fucking intros
if I'm being honest with you
I mean it's usually
to like thank the
patrons and that
but I thought that
you're like thanking
them for helping
with support
podcasting
here's what we've
got for you
it's like oh
thanks for supporting
we've got a good
episode coming up
it's got this and
that and boom boom
get them all excited
and then again
slicing humphries
on the road
then does like an
intro and then it
bangs into the
podcast
I just feel like
it's unnecessary and these aren deliver the product that you promised them
I just feel like it's
unnecessary
and these aren't the patrons
so why the fuck am I
why the fuck am I
thanking cunts that
don't approve of it
these are getting early access
oh
so is this not on the regular podcast
they're gonna get it like
as soon as we finish this intro
right
we'll put it up for them
right
and then in like 48 hours
we'll put it out for
without
so do the
do the cunts who get it
48 hours later do they not get this intro no they the do the cunts who get it 48 hours later
do they not get this intro
no they do get the intro
but also
like it'll make them go
oh I wish he was talking to us

I just feel so
left out here
in the background
lurking

alright whatever
less so from me
Sloss and Humphreys
on the road Muggins and Cream cream and muggins straight thuggin living the dream that's our intro now. Aye, whatever, kiss. Or might just be cynical. Just muggled it up on fucking Mugglopedia.
Where have you been since 9-11?
Good morning.
Morning.
It's a morning podcast?
Oh, it is.
We don't normally do morning podcasts.
Um, nah, not at all.
I had a shite sleep last night as well.
Tell us all about it.
Um.
Heat.
No, well, no, but that is normally the fucking big killer for me.
But we got a fan, like, last year for the bedroom.
And then it's on Cara's side of the bed.
And it sometimes gets over to me.
But I was just, it got, like, really hot last week,
and we had guests, and they were hot in their room.
And I was like, Cara, I can't, like, I can't be a person
that when people stay at my house
the room is too warm. I fucking
hate staying at friends' houses when
they don't have air conditioning.
I think it's... I understand.
By the way, nobody has air conditioning.
Nobody
in this country has air conditioning.
Oh no, this is global.
Fine, fair enough. But I tell you what,
dads have air conditioning hotels
so I'm now at the point
in my life
where if friends go
do you want to stay over at us
when you're in town
I'm like
no I don't
I'd much rather come visit you
in the evening
come visit in the morning
and I'm going to stay
in a fucking hotel
with air conditioning
because I cannot sleep
in a room
unless it is fucking baltic
so you only want to suffer
in your own house
aye
well but I can't be
a fucking hypocrite so I just said to Cara I your own house aye well I can't be a fucking hypocrite
so I just said to Cara
I'm like
I'm
I'm buying like
just a bunch more
fans
so whenever
whenever it does
on the seven days
that it gets hot
in Scotland
that those seven days
don't fucking ruin
my sleep cycle
so I had that
so it wasn't the temperature
we'd gone out
we got
I'd got kind of drunk
because my mum and dad
had booked me, them, Cara,
and my brothers
into a place called The Cauldron.
It's like a Harry Potter...
But it's not a Harry Potter...
Legally, it's not a Harry Potter themed.
But it's Harry Potter themed.
Like Monkey Barrel's escape room
aye
aye
it's like a wizardy
like bar
experience thing
but Jack
my youngest brother
couldn't come
because
well he's fucking
because when he ran
into the wall
of the railway station
he just knocked himself out
and got rushed into hospital
aye
he went to platform 10
in two halves
stupid cunt
two halves
that's 11
I like it.
So it's a bar.
It's an adult bar.
It's an adult bar.
Harry Potter themed.
So is it like the Alchemist
where they bring you out
low cocktails with dry ice and shit?
Oh, but way better in some ways
and not worse, I think,
because I did enjoy the whole thing.
But uncomfortable.
So Craig Hill came instead.
Taking Craig Hill anywhere instead, right?
So, which is, taking Craig Hill anywhere adds 3% enjoyment to the experience.
Like if Craig Hill was a Dungeons and Dragons thing, it would be plus 3 to enjoyment of every experience.
He boosts morale, doesn't he?
Aye. It's like everyone's a bit more motivated around him because he brings you up more.
He's a funny person.
He's always high energy.
He's got great fucking stories
and he's so good at taking the piss.
My mum always says
that the greatest Edinburgh Friends show
would be to just go on a tour,
like a bus tour around Edinburgh
with not an open top one,
roof closed,
with just Craig Hill and a microphone
and just taking the piss out of everyone
that walks by. Just people watching.
Not about the architecture. None of it.
Not about the history. Just about that
dude wearing flip flops and carrying an umbrella.
Aye. Exactly. Right.
Just the fucking...
People call Geoff Ross the Roastmaster.
Sure. The real Roastmaster's
Craig Hill. I promise you.
Because he gets subtleties he picks up on
subtleties
and he's got
the fucking
vile
vitriolity
of the gays
let's call it
the sass
no no
let's call it
what it is
no we'll
call them
sassy
I'm sure
when really
they're fucking
mean
really mean
spirited
we'll say it's
sassy
but it's sassy.
But it's great.
I love that shit. I love it.
And they can get away with it.
So we go there
and I'm expecting it to be exactly
what you just said there
with this little fucking performance.
But my mum, being my mum,
she'd booked us into the experience.
So we go in there.
Now, I,
and this is just a me personal thing,
but this happens across the board, whether it's like we're in Disney. Now, I, and this is just a me personal thing, but this happens across the board,
whether it's like we're in Disney and there's a tour guide
or whether you're in an escape room
and one of them's in character.
And this is a horrible thing to say.
You've got an intrusive thought to punch them in the face.
No, no.
To kiss them.
Regular people trying to be funny does my fucking nut.
Especially when you can tell that the funny bit that they said
is one of the bits.
It clunks in like a bit.
Because in a stand-up, you have the illusion
of spontaneity when you drop
a fake ad lib.
But when
Harry Potter escape room
worker drops a fake ad lib...
Yeah, and you're like, man, that's stock
and I know that's stock, and
I don't think everyone else can, and they never
say anything. And they almost wet their lips
before they say it, the staff put them in.
The staff put them in, they were about to do that joke.
And it just, it
always, and by the way, I'm not
criticising these people. Man, when I was a fucking
paintball referee, I had my
fucking stock jokes, right? I
know it's part of the fucking thing, but
having done that job myself, and
now being a very professional
comedian, I'm just like
man, don't, could you not
do the real? Could we just get to the bit?
Because I am such a, I'm so
shite at faking laughter.
Like, I can't disguise a lot
of my emotions on my face. When you do
a shite joke, I'm like I know't disguise a lot of my emotions on my face when you do a shite joke I'm like
I know that I know this joke I can you telegraphed it I'm like you're giving us this feeling
I don't want to like it it's bad enough when it's somebody like trying to be an entertainer like
someone being a tour guide or whatever right but it's the worst when it's someone that's not meant
to be funny and it's like a speed awareness course or something and they try and crowbar in their
little jokes here and there.
But to be fair, everyone in this...
And also, I will call myself out on my own
fucking hypocrisy, right? One of them. It was
really good, man. Let me fully
plug the cauldron at
Frederick Street in Edinburgh.
Now that you've took the legs of all of the
staff. No, no, no, no, because the staff
they called... So one of the bits
is, right, you don't just... They don't just pour your drinks for you. So at the start they go right one of the bits is right you don't just they
don't just pour your drinks for you so at the start they go right we're gonna take and there's
like three heads on a wall one's like a dragon head one's like some sort of sheep unicorn thing
and the other one's a python head right and they give you a wand at the start and you have to pick
your own wand and it you know and you're just and you at first you're like all right you just give
me a wand this is just a fucking prop but then you're just and at first you're like all right you just give me a
wand this is just a fucking prop but then you go up and you literally you point the wand at the
drink you want while holding your cup under and it comes out the fucking mouth right it's not a
button it's like some sort of magnet thing but it's genuine yeah you're selecting it with a laser
point that kind of thing yes and is it a person like is it a person going right you pointed at
that one let's give them that one and press the button.
Or is it like a scan?
It's a scan.
So there's me and my dad were checking it.
There's something on the end of the wand and there's little bits you have to point at.
So clearly there's some sort of magnetic thing.
Yeah, so it's like scanning a barcode.
Aye.
But so we're going up,
the guy's doing his spiel.
He's really nice.
He's really charming.
Me and Craig are laughing at all the jokes
as much as we can
because even though it makes us uncomfortable
what's worse than a fucking shite joke?
A shite audience.
So you're just trying to get involved.
Invest yourself in it.
And he's like can you go up and do
the dragon here.
You have to do a chat up line before you do the cast
otherwise he won't give you a drink.
And I was like, and my mum went up
said something and I was like why don't you just say do you fancy was like, and my mum went up, said something, and I was like,
why don't you just say,
do you fancy dragging those balls across my face?
And he was like,
and he rolled his fucking eyes.
He goes, yeah,
that's the first time I've heard that one.
I was like, fair enough, actually.
It's like that one.
Oh, really?
Yeah, yeah, good.
That's got to be,
that's got to be stock.
Craig Hill had a good one,
which is,
you should be on RuPaul's Dragon Race.
Nice.
So that was all great.
Really enjoyable. We got drinks. The cocktails were
fucking good. And then you make your own
cocktails, but proper in
cauldrons and stuff. They give you the
recipe. So you're making like a big fishbowl and then you
split it. Yeah, but then
they give you the fucking dry ice. There's smoke.
There's a more impetuous good.
And then at the end there was one which was
they'd given us all the drinks that paid for but just at random like times through the evening
we're just sat around and all you just hear is dragon dragon dragon and then a fireball in another
part of the room and we're like what the fuck is that like how there's like what and then we
couldn't see it and then we go back to talking for like 10 minutes and then from another part
of a boy here dragon dragon and then a man go back to talking for like 10 minutes. And then from another part of a bar you'd hear,
dragon, dragon.
And man, the room lights up.
There's been an explosion of fire somewhere.
And you're like, what the fuck is this?
When do I get the dragon chant?
Watch the queue.
She comes up.
She's like, all the drinks that you paid for are done.
And we're like, what's the fucking dragon thing?
What's this?
And she goes, oh, that's our dragon breath fucking strawberry daiquiri
or whatever the name that it had.
So they could come out with very, very strong strawberry daiquiris
made with fucking Ray and Nephew.
You remember Ray and Nephew?
Remember that really, really horrible fucking rum
that Cara made us do up in Aberdeen?
The one that was like fucking 62% and tore out the inside of your throat?
Hold on, was that like straw?
S-T-R-O-H?
No, that was the stuff we had.
It's similar to straw.
Like it's that.
That level.
That absent level of,
like that God tear of fucking alcoholic shot.
Oh no, not God tear, Satan tear.
Oh yeah, yeah.
Yeah, well corrected.
Yes.
It was like,
the next one of the gods,
my God hates me. my throne's on fire
why
am I a sinner
and so they come out
with that
and I'm like
well those don't look
and then she's like
Ray and Nephew
and I'm like
Ray and Nephew
is very alcoholic
and then just one girl
comes out
and she's just got
fairy liquid bubbles
like all over her hands
and then one of them
has got a lighter
and we just throw it
over the top and man it's like a
I'm going to say like a two foot fireball
like it's class
that comes out of her hands like a nougat
yeah because she's got the she just covers her hands
and like if you were to have a really big bubble bath
right but they've clearly put
something paraffin in it yeah something like that
she's scooped her hands in it
and then just one of them's holding the fucking
and it's not like a match
it's like one of those
blow torches
above your drinks
and she just
yeets it across
and it's a
and you have to chant
dragon dragon dragon
which is you
doing free advertising
for that drink
for the rest of the fucking
for the rest of the room
man
anyone
nice
yeah
it's so well done
so
despite the
despite the my Despite the...
For people that can't see,
which is everybody,
because this is a podcast,
Daniel has no eyebrows.
Which come from you.
They can't see
that I have naturally
got no eyebrows.
I can't remember why I fucking...
So, you were saying
that's why you had a bad sleep
was because you got mashed
at Harry Potter.
So I got a bit drunk and then just
had a really weird,
shitey dream.
And then one of those dreams where
when you wake up and you're like,
I have to stay awake for five or ten minutes
so I don't return to that fucking dream.
And I didn't.
But when I got into my next dream,
dream me was just explaining how into my next dream dream me
was just explaining how awful my last
dream was to people
like
spoiler alert you haven't woken up yet
this is it, you're on the podcast
telling your buddy and all your
listeners what your dream was and then you're
going to wake up and go oh man
that was embarrassing, I talked about dreams
on the podcast
Natalie loves this part
of the podcast
such a muggle
so yeah you had like
kind of fever dreams
right
so I woke up on the couch
last night
at fucking 3 o'clock
oh oh oh
doghouse
what did you do
doghouse
literally we're both
in the doghouse
we've been
because you're watching
Lord of the Rings today
aren't you
me and Natalie
ploughed through
them
we've been
watching that
and we're like
you know what
because we haven't
watched them
since I saw
them in the
cinema
I was like
how many
big massive
high budget
franchise movies
have passed you
by
and I was like
I've never really
invested in the
Hunger Games
let's watch that
so watch the
first one
oh the Hunger
Games are
and they kind of
peak around the
first one
it's the same with the books I don't want to watch the second one if it's just that again
if it's just like another it's like a shuffle the deck different characters same no it's not
it's more about the rebellion and whatnot we'll put that on but we're far too counted and we're
just we're trying to play double man in the pair we're looking at the double cards for like
a good five minutes we've been getting it. When Ellie was just like, should we just
pass?
We're fucking cunted. We're double parked. We're waning Guinness.
My mum and dad had been
run.
Kind of being too hot
when you go to sleep, right?
Your mum and dad were run?
That's exactly how I meant to set it up.
Right.
I've been fine right
my bedroom is
the north side of the house
the sun doesn't be
through the window
now that right
it's not that bad
it's cool enough
if I was in Natalie's office
if I was in the kitchen
where does the sun rise
how do you
are you like a fucking tracker
what
we live in Scotland man
the sun goes across the equator
it's in one direction
is that where it goes
only I
so you may get it like
across the north of your house
in the morning
if it's low
oh that does make sense
that's why the
that's why the north and south
bowl are cold
aye I could have worked
that out myself actually
so I kind of thought off
so like there's only
fucking one side of your house
that's getting the heat
for the most part
wait surely it rises
fucking west then
you know it rises
east and west
but like it's
you know it sits in the south
for the most part
got you got you.
Understood.
Jesus Christ, what an idiot.
So that's why people
get more of a value on
the house for a south
facing garden, because
you get the sun more
of the day.
That's not how
Australian listeners
obviously.
But also, if you're
one of our Australian
listeners, you can't
afford a house.
Houses, like two
bedroom, like one
bedroom apartments in
Sydney are one and a half
million
fucking hell
I did not know this
I thought London
was where the world
peaked in house prices
is that right
Sydney and Melbourne
like Rhys Nicholson
literally posted
one the other day
which was
a house that had
like the
like the top floor
had burned down
and not like
the top floor
it's like a bungalow
with an attic
the attic had caught fire and most of the house
had burned down and they were selling it for
1.7 million.
Oh my god. Is that because you can't
just go rural in Australia because
you need survival skills if you do?
I just... I think it's... I mean...
Is it like city living's like the only
first world option? Am I getting that wrong?
I'm not... Man, I'm genuinely...
I'm trying to work out because like,
you would literally,
if houses were that much
in the city,
you would just like,
not live in the city.
No,
do you know why
I actually ask Kai?
It's because the fucking
Australians are
rollover pussies.
They've got that,
oh mate,
we're just fucking
laid back.
No,
no,
you're a doormat.
You're a fucking
doormat for your government.
Anything they say,
you're like, yep, okay, lock government anything they say you're like yep okay
lockout laws now house prices
are this much all fine by me
buddy I'm just so fucking
laid back
we've got the worst service in the
fucking world but it doesn't matter
because I'm laid back
who needs the internet
we just got better with each
other we're just so laid back you fucking doormats please come to my show next year who needs the internet we just got better with each other
we're just so laid back
you fucking doormats
please come to my show
next year
begging me
I'm not begging you
I'll just ask them
and you'll do it
because you're fucking
Australian
tickets are £100
oh I'll fucking
pay their price
because I'm laid back
so I haven't been that hot even in the fucking hottest days I haven't been that hot I'll fucking pay their price because I'm laid back.
So I haven't been that hot.
Even in the fucking hottest days,
I haven't been that hot.
But Natalie has been fucking burning up, man.
Like I kind of got near her.
I kind of got near her in my bed, right?
Like fucking, I have to keep my weight.
She's just got like a Chernobyl in her fanny.
Something like that.
Yes.
Oh, did I ever tell you about when Chris McCausland, blind comedian, was doing a routine about that, about women being too hot in bed and thinking that's why lesbians must start house fires and stuff. That was the premise of the bit, right? So Chris McCausland's blind, he gets led onto the stage and he's doing this routine and half of the audience is a lesbian hen party.
Great. and they didn't enjoy the joke, even though I didn't think it was a harsh joke. He wasn't really taking props at the Marnie Finn, right?
I just thought it was a funny premise idea, right?
They just weren't laughing at it.
They weren't giving him grief, but they weren't laughing at it.
And they took up like 30 seats, right?
So he, in his head, thought the centre of the room
was a different place to where he was facing,
because a wedge of people to the right,
like 30% of the room, was like fucking silent.
So he just turned his back on this hen party of lesbians.
Oh, no.
So funny.
And then his dog started barking at them,
and that didn't help.
So, that list is so fucking hot, right? That kind of... that doesn't help so
Natalie's is so
fucking hot right
that I can't
alright mate
Jesus
come on
this is where I am
so just fucking
naively just talking
like this to my
mum and dad right
and my mum's
like talking about
their diet
because they've got
these garments
that track their
calories and they
put their meals
into their phones
and that
they're being very
conscientious for
pensioners
are they pensioners?
Not really, but howe'er.
Aye.
They're Geordie pensioners.
It's the same with Glasgow Rose.
They're both in their 60s, man.
Aye, aye.
When the death rate's way fucking lower,
you get your fucking bus card in Newcastle at around 32.
It's true.
A geriatric birth is fucking 27.
Yeah, it really is.
So, we were talking about,
my wee man was saying about how you just
burn 2,000 calories a day just by being you,
just by existing.
You've got your first 2,000 calories for free.
Is that true?
I don't know.
I don't know if you know that.
I'm not going to peddle that like it's gospel
I'm telling you what
happened in a conversation
with a 60 year old woman
fair enough
she got it off of those women
you know what I mean
I'm only telling you
what happened
I know but it's just
such a
I'm surprised that
you didn't go
fucking Linda
what?
you burned
2,000 so I you burned 2,000
so I can eat
2,000 calories
and do
fuck all
or does she mean
like pot
just by existing
you know
your core temperature
oh because she does
pot run
you get your steps in
your core temperature
is fucking
I bet she does
get the fucking steps in
hoovering the stairs
four times a day
man she's telling us
she's got 10,000 steps in
in the house
without leaving the house
10,000
now you know
she has to dust it all the time she's smoking in the carpet smoking part of the bed she's got 10,000 steps in, in the house, without leaving the house. 10,000. Now you wonder, she has to dust it all the time.
She's smoking in the carpet,
smoking part of the bit.
She's kicking the carpet
all over the house,
and now I have to dust.
Maybe they're just shark loads.
Well, this is what I said to my ma.
I just went so innocently
to my ma in front of Natalie
and my dad.
I just went,
Natalie must burn 4,000 calories
being so hot in bed
oh no
and I didn't get it
for ages
Natalie's mortified
me mum couldn't believe
I said it now
and I'm like
I can't believe I said it
but I think we'll have
a bit of decorum
around parents usually
aye
but I just bust in
with that
like fucking Natalie's
just like a firework
she bangs every night I just make a firework.
She bags every night.
I'm being a boot six.
I just lie there.
I do the starfish while she licks my chocolate starfish.
Such as gaining calories,
basically what I'm saying.
But my mum and dad come to see me
for the first time
they've been
they've been just
very much in lockdown
and knew that
like stuff
the restrictions have risen
and stuff
they've come up in the car
and my mum
had a little cry
when she was working
on my house
she was just dead proud
she was just like
I think she had this feeling
like she broke the chain from like she was just like I think she had this feeling like she broke the chain
from like
you know
she was just proud
of like the three of us
right
and like I haven't
just got that kid
and like I've
been getting married
and moved in with
my wife and all that
and I think it was
just the realisation
that her kids
didn't have the
they had a better
chance than her
and her sisters had
you know what I mean
and then her mother had
she managed to
break the cycle
she did such a good job
she managed to
elevate them out
of the thing
that she'd grown up in
and her dad
was an abusive man
psychologically to her
but physically to me nana
right
and me nana's dad
was a bit abusive
from all accounts
right
so she's like
she's
well by the way
Kev's no spring chicken
I don't know if you've
listened to the last
five minutes of the podcast
for 200 episodes but he's a
fucked up man
she married a man with like bad head movement
you know
you can't take him doing all these strikes
she married a man
that was like fucking sweet
you know what I mean
and she just
she goes,
this is your family
home before you've even had kids.
And she's reminiscing about the fucking
shitty one bedroom flat she had in the avenues
in Blythe when she was pregnant with her first.
You know what I mean?
She grew up where she had to wash her own
uniform otherwise she'd be the tramp at school.
You know what I mean?
If she didn't wash her own she would have been
the scruffy kid
you know what
it's the worst thing
in Blythe to get
called a tramp
in Scotland
in Viper
it was Scaff
Scaff
you didn't want
to be Dickie Kai
I'd done a routine
about it
Dickie Darren
Dickie Allison
you didn't want
to be that person
the last thing you want to be is fucking Nenna Blythe,
that fucking upmarket, you know what I mean?
The last thing you want to be is a scruff in a fucking...
Aye, a scruffy neighbourhood.
In a scruffy neighbourhood.
You don't want to be the scruffiest kid in the avenues.
It's like being a paedophile in prison, right?
When all the other prisoners hate you,
you've done something fucked up.
Even like, there's murderers in there there's like abusers there's all this fucking shit but like the second a pedophile comes in they all get together and they're like you're
getting fucking done mate and i think i should just have this emotional she's just had this
emotional moment where she was like i fucking i broke the chain like me kids have all turned
out right they've all down right they've all given
their kids
the best chance ever
when
my mum said the opposite
like
her and all her sisters
went to university
and none of
oh no wait
her first kid didn't
Matthew's at university
aye
and Jack's
oh no I think Jack said
oh no fuck
I'm the failure
I'm the one
that broke the cycle
I think they're
letting you off because you're having an
exceptional gap 12 years or whatever
it's been since you were meant to go to uni
aye aye I mean I might go back
I definitely wouldn't go back
if you were to go back and get an education in something
what would it be that would like
that would drive like you'd be driven to learn
about it where you'd be like
excited about what you're going to learn next
history either British or American all the stuff I learned about American history to learn about it? Where you'd be like excited about what you're going to learn next?
History,
either British or American.
All the stuff I learned about American history
interested me
but because I was in charge
of my own thing
I just stopped for a fucking bit
whereas if it was for the degree
I'd like to have.
But I'd also like to learn
man, I'd like to learn anything
so I wasn't stupid.
Like I'd love to do
an economics degree
to just understand
what economics are
just so I can have an opinion
on like, not even have an opinion
but just understand what it means
when the government does something and what
sanctions are and all this stuff
because man, I use the word
economy a lot and I'm not sure what it
means most of the time
like I throw it
I throw it in there as a fucking buzz
word and I'm like, oh, hope nobody called me on my ship. It's like when you in there as a fucking buzzword and I'm like
oh I hope nobody
called me on my ship
it's like when you say
that's a real catch-22
I'm not a real catch-22
oh really really bad book
aye
I don't know if that's
a fucking controversial opinion
to say catch-22's a bad book
because I know it's a classic
right
aye
but you know
like it's 550 pages long
or thereabouts right
the first 100 pages
would have been enough
aye
and then you go
right I get it you're doing the same joke oh right it's just fucking you're doing the same Right? The first 100 pages would have been enough. Aye. And then you go,
right, I get it,
you're doing the same joke.
Oh, right,
it's just fucking... You're doing the same fucking joke
over and over again,
every page,
very creative, right?
And then they just drag it out
for another 450 pages.
And you're like,
oh, man,
just fucking lay off, man.
How does he know he's done it?
Man, some classics
are fucking shite.
Have you ever read Great Gatsby?
No, only because
you've told us not to.
Oh, piping hot shit.
Aye.
Like, piping,
and it's not even that long a book,
but piping hot shit.
Like, I remember,
because some classics are great, man.
Fucking Of Mice and Men,
great book.
Really enjoyable book.
Short for a fucking book.
I enjoyed Animal Farm,
thought that was alright.
I've not read,
1984. I've not read 1984
I've not read that one yet
but I've heard that
it's really fucking depressing man
I listen to it on audiobook as well
and the guy that read it
who's a fucking belt
I've had that voice act
in one of their books
I think it was The Hangman
he narrated
his voice
and the fucking tone of the book
and the fucking
it's just so fucking depressing man
aye
it's a really grim read I'm reading Bob Saget's book and the fucking it's just so fucking depressing man aye it's a really grim read
I'm reading
Bob Saget's
book at the moment
Dirty Daddy
and
was that
was it books called
or was it just
your fan nickname
you give it
when you tell this
it's the name of his book
I'm reading Bob Saget's
book Dirty Daddy
aye
it's called
Bob Saget's
autobiography
me
Bob Saget
for anyone who doesn't know who Bob Saget for anyone
who doesn't know
who Bob Saget is
he's like
I mean he's been
a comedian
since the fucking
70s
he's had a great
career
he was
but he's
a very very
dirty dark
comedian
because of his
childhood
like he had
two sisters die
before he was born
and then when he was
growing up
he had two sisters die
and four of his uncles
died at the same fucking
season
I think he's the problem
well he is a murderer
but it's just like
it's about how he developed
his really dark sense of humour
but then he was also
on the TV show
Full House
which was like
the most like
prime time family friendly
family values TV show
and he was like the
oh fucking hell
so he had to just like
act all happy families
day in day out
while like
and then just go home.
Yeah.
Well, yeah.
Just a bunch of ains on the fireplace.
Aye.
But it's about...
Fucking hell.
He managed to...
So people would come see his stand-up
where he swears all the time
and he loves fucking fart and poo jokes
and sex jokes and really horrible stuff.
One of the bits is...
I love sex and total humour.
Right.
Here is one of the bits from his book and
I recommend people
read it. It's just very funny and he's had
such an interest in life.
So
when his
first wife was pregnant with her
first child
it was all going well and then they go to the
hospital and then she goes into labour and
then shit just hits the fan. Something fucking wrong her heart rate goes to zero she fucking
flatlines they pump her full of adrenaline it goes up to like 180 which is like almost worse
like it's real fucking bad that's the point where she then goes unconscious they have to cesarean
he's not allowed to be in the room for it he's outside they're just coming out every 30 minutes
telling him what's going on at one point the nurse comes out with the baby
in like an incubator
and he's not allowed
to touch the baby
because it was born
under distress
so it's immediately
got to be taken
but the nurse is crying
and like I'm really sorry
he's got to go out
and like explain to
not only
like professionals
are getting PTSD off this
yeah
not only does he have
to explain to his parents
who are downstairs
what's going on
he's got to relay
the information
to his mother
and father-in-law
and they're all trying to fucking stay strong through it.
He goes and sees his wife.
She's unconscious.
They don't know if she's going to fucking make it.
She suddenly wakes up.
She's in distress.
It's this whole fucking ordeal, right?
And so he's like, look, I've explained this
and I do have to...
It was very, very traumatic for all of us.
They turned out great.
But I've always had, in these sort of moments
or afterwards, a dark sense of humour
like a gallows humour
of saying the worst thing
so a week after this
he's at home
and his wife's asleep
and he's got the baby
and Paul Provenza
and some other guy
set list
Paul Provenza
and aristocrats
Paul Provenza
yeah so that's
I mean they've worked together
for years and years
since the fucking 80s
Paul Provenza
who's good for a bobsag it turns turns up, opens the door, Bob Saget
opens the door with the baby and Paul Provenza is just like almost in tears because he's
heard the whole thing.
He loves his friend and he just goes, oh, Bob, talking about the baby, she's beautiful.
Bob Saget goes, I'll light your finger up for a dollar.
Right? Oh, no. Oh no! Right?
Oh no!
Oh no!
Right, so he's then going into this bit
when he talks about it, he's like, man, for ten years
Paul Provenza would tell that story backstage
at green rooms, and I'm like, I can't remember saying it.
Like, I don't, I genuinely
don't, I was clearly, like, it is my sense of humour,
I'm not denying that I said it, but are you sure I didn't I genuinely like don't I was clearly like it is my sense of humour I'm not denying that I said it
but are you sure
I didn't say five dollars
and he said
I'm so apologetic
he's like man
I know that's the worst thing to say
but that's just my sense of humour
and just reason it
for me
like that's
yeah that's great
I love that like
he doesn't like
that means he's got a fucking
because he's doing
family friendly stuff
but that's also his sense of humour
behind closed doors.
That's fucking great that he's got them gear changes.
It's so funny. Again, he talks about
his wife and daughter
told him to put that joke in the book.
They were like, look, we've grown up with you
and we love you. You do have two
sides. You're a really loving
caring, wonderful father
and husband
despite the divorce.
But you've also just got this
switch where
just in the darkest times
you'll make jokes
and that's because he grew up
with people dying left and right.
You know what this is?
You know when somebody's got
that daytime telly vibe, right?
But then they just maintain
daytime telly vibe
throughout their life?
Like fucking Cosby.
You always think
there's something
up don't you
fucking Justin
Lee Collins
remember him
aye
aye fucking hell
so you always
just go aye
if you've got a
dark sense of humour
when the fucking
camera's off
you're probably
alright
you're probably
zoned
I don't know
if I could do
I think that
would be the
fair play to him
for doing it
but that would
always be the
big
for me
daytime TV like but if I just for me it, but that would always be the big, for me, daytime TV.
But if it was...
For me, it's I don't want the...
I don't want that audience.
Well, remember when Tolisso Cipanda had done...
Because he's always done Punch Drunk
and he's always fucking smashed, right?
So it was meant to get him back on
after he'd done Britain's Got Talent
because everybody had known who he was
before he'd been on TV. So punch drunk audience come back they're fucking
like see him for this run of like five gigs but we also had this like handful of people that had
come in off seen him off telly that had never been to a punch drunk gig before and they were
whacking it because he was doing sex jokes and swearing and all that and i'm like i wonder if
that was a lot of his audiences well but like like, in Punch Drunk, it was mostly just people that love comedy
and that love him already, right?
But I wonder if a lot of his audiences were people brought in
after seeing him on TV, sanitized,
and then him being himself doing his fucking mint routines
and upsetting them because they're like, oh, no, he said poo.
Aye, aye.
Well, man, that happens.
I mean, that's the
danger. I always think
that's one of the
contracts you sign with the devil
if you're, as a comedian,
like Michael McIntyre's a really interesting one
because you ask any comedian
on the circuit in the early 2000s
and they'll tell you McIntyre was
one of the best comics on the circuit,
if not the best comic. I don't doubt it. When I first saw him
I was fucking mesmerised when I first saw him
live at the Apollo.
But like live and comedy story
because he did primetime TV
McIntyre's Roadshow, everything like that
where it is censored because it's the BBC
and the BBC are spying on us fucking cowards
he has this
audience now where I remember watching him
on all these shows and I thought he was great.
And then I saw him live at some fucking charity gig
and he was filthy.
And it was stuff I'd never seen him do on TV
because of course I've never seen him.
But man, the guy does fucking filth and swearing
real, real well.
But I was just sort of like,
man, that's...
I wonder how he feels about it
because he's clearly got this arsenal of fucking jokes
and this whole side of him
that he can do stand up wise
but he just doesn't
do it now
because he's got this
broad
audience
and it's like
alright well I guess
I wonder if Lee Evans
is the same
oh yeah he can't
go through the gears
no I mean
has Lee Evans ever said cunt
have you ever heard Lee Evans
say cunt
nah
I think he swears though
he does
fuck off yeah he does yeah he does andunt? Nah. I think he swears though. He does. Fuck off.
Yeah, he does.
Yeah, he does.
And I think McIntyre
also swears.
Not to the fucking degree
us legends do though.
No.
Billy Connolly and that,
he was fucking...
Billy Connolly was fucking great.
I love that documentary
about him.
I haven't seen it yet.
I've seen loads of stuff
with him in,
like documentary-wise,
but I haven't seen
the recent one.
It's just very good.
It's made by his daughters because they were just,
not sick of people asking,
but because he's out in Florida and he's got Parkinson's,
people are always asking after him,
and the result, like, media just makes fucking fake reports
and do whatever.
So they're like, you know what?
We're going to do, we're going to interview him.
It's like that Alex Ferguson documentary.
Oh, that was so fucking good.
Like, I reckon even if you're not into football,
that's just a good documentary.
Aye, Fergie
it's on Amazon
and it's after he had
his heart attack
I was getting emotional
watching that
I was welling up
a little bit
like it was
fucking
they've got that
clip where
like it starts off
with the son
phoning
the
phoning 999
being like my
father's just
collapsed on the
floor and he's
going over the
details and I'm
going oh yeah
it was the actual
audio footage from
the phone call
the 999 call
wasn't it
aye and she's
going okay
we're sending
what's his name
and he goes
Alexander Ferguson
and I'm like oh
Alex is short
for Alexander
I've never heard
him called
Alexander I'm
like oh it's
always just been
that's one of your pet peeves isn't it when someone's name's short for Alexander. I've just never heard him called Alexander. I'm like, oh, it's always just been...
That's one of your pet peeves, isn't it?
When someone's name's...
No, I've just got very strict
rules about what
names are, right?
You can't just decide that a name
isn't short for something, right?
A friend of ours had a kid called Zach
and I'm like, short for Zachary. She was like, nope.
And I'm like, yes it is! Zach is short for Zachary. Doesn't matter what you I'm like, short for Zachary. She was like, nope. And I'm like, yes it is!
Zach is short for Zachary. Doesn't matter what you think.
Zach is short for Zachary.
So on the birth certificate, it better fucking be
Zachary and the nickname... Wait, wait
one moment. Wait one fucking
moment. What's your middle name?
Jamie. Which is
what people call James. I didn't choose my middle name.
Are you...
Aye. It should be James
Jamie's James
well fair enough
then I agree with you
yes
wow
but I didn't
I didn't give myself
my middle name
like it's
this is why
you're mad about it
people go
oh hiya
my name's
Meg
short for Megan
nope
yes it is
it fucking also the one that really confused me so your name is actually Daniel James Sloss aye fine fair enough Oh, hiya, my name's Meg. Oh, short for Megan. Nope. Yes, it is.
Fucking it.
Also, the one that really confused me.
So your name is actually Daniel James Sloss.
Aye, fine, fair enough.
Yes, it is.
It's not Jamie.
Do you know Liam
is short for William?
I did not know that.
That makes us hate it.
So much.
That makes me hate it.
So much.
Well, Liam is the end.
It's the Drew of William. It's the, it's the end. It's the Drew of William.
It's the fucking Topher.
It's the Tory of Victoria.
It's just...
My name's Vicky.
Oh, so it's Victoria.
No, just Vicky.
No, it's not!
That's you.
That's so funny.
You know what somebody pointed out there recently?
It was actually, it didn't get pointed out.
I missed it on the Q&A that were done for the Patreon
because I didn't check the inbox because I'm a fucking idiot.
But Felicia, hi, Felicia.
No, no, it's bye, Felicia.
I'm saying hi to her.
No, no, but the phrase is bye, Felicia.
That's not what I'm doing.
Oh.
Bye, Felicia.
What's this?
I have a word.
I'm saying hi to Felicia.
Right, so she she said that,
did you, this was a question,
did you choose the titles of your shows
Dark, Jigsaw, Socio
because it's your initials?
Oh my God!
And I know you didn't, but I was fucking dying to tell you that
because fucking that is...
Oh my God!
How good is that
you had fucking
the idea
you did it
and I
dark
Daniel Jr
sloss
xenophobe
yeah
kiss
kiss
oh my god
no I didn't
fucking
I didn't know
that Jesus
what a
subconscious
narcissist
and conscious
it's not just subconscious
it's like both
but yeah
but there's two
like it's like an iceberg
like you can see
some of the narcissism
above the water
there's way
more underneath
way more
that never makes its way
to the surface
and that's why
I'm so dangerous
so Gav
start
because you've got us
thinking about this now
where every time I hear a name I always try and question whether it's short for something So Gav started because you've got us thinking about this now where
every time I hear a name
I always try and question
whether it's short
for something
and Gav started
calling his daughter
Horace
because she looked
like a tortoise
when she was out
cuddled up in bed
and all that
Was it a turtle
called Horace?
No I just think
it's a tortoise's name
You know like
I named me tortoise Raymond
Raymond's a tortoise
name Horace
like it's just a
tortoise
it just suits a tortoise
you know what I mean
so he calls her Horace the tortoise and I'm like is Horace short for something is Horace like it's just a tortoise it just suits a tortoise you know what I mean so he calls Horace
the tortoise
and I'm like
is Horace short
for something
is Horace short
for Horatio
I would assume it was
because you never
hear that name
but you often
hear Horace
not often
not often
but like
it's more
way more common
I mean
I have not
anyone called Horace
not at all
but I think it's like
because if you were to call a kid Horace I would say it anyone called Horace not at all but I think it's like because if you were
to call a kid Horace
I would say it would be
Horatio Humphreys
which now that I've
heard it
Horatio Humphreys
good name
works doesn't it
aye
stick that in your
back pocket
I couldn't call a
fucking kid after
Admiral Nelson
when I live in Scotland
I feel like Admiral Nelson was a live in Scotland. I feel like
Admiral Nelson was a good guy, you know.
I've no idea who he is. I only know him from
the Wittank sketch.
Rim me, Hoddy!
Rim me!
If you want to know that reference,
Wittank is a
great sketch group that had Naz's
Man Alone and two other comedians.
Kieran Boyd and Mark Cooper-Jones.
Aye.
They do...
It was on BBC.
It was on some fucking French show.
It's one of my favourite sketches.
Yeah, I'd seen it live a bunch of times,
but I think you can't find it on YouTube.
If you type in Remy Hardy...
Aye.
Or which...
HS Search History.
Aye.
So, I read, when I was on a...
I was reading, like,
50 Things You Must Know About British History, right?
Just a fucking shite book.
It's just 49 apologies.
And I was on a comedown.
I'd been at a festival, right?
I was already in the middle of this book, right?
But I was just, like,
trying to get my life back in order.
I was fucking...
I'd been on pills and all that, right?
I was on a serotonin deficit. And I was reading about Hor get my life back in order. I was fucking, I'd been on pills and all that, right? I was on a serotonin deficit.
And I was reading about Horatio Nelson got shot on board his ship.
And his crew managed to succeed by implementing his plan while he was dying.
And apparently he commanded so much respect that everyone just fucking utilised his plan
and went ahead with it while he was dying, right?
And I started crying.
I mean, he was such a good leader.
Was he actually...
No, I loved him.
All these people loved him.
I bet they didn't.
I bet I was reading a propaganda piece,
but you know how it is.
Was he a general?
Like, what was...
Was he part of the Navy?
He was a naval commander.
Got you.
Yeah.
Got shot in the eye, didn't he?
Don't know.
You tell me.
Aye.
Yes, I mean, yes. Aye. Who else got shot in the eye? That kind of 1066, he got shot in the eye didn't he don't know you tell me aye yes I mean yes
aye
who else got shot in the eye
that kind of 1066
he got shot in the eye
did he
aye
or
John Hastings
because on the
there's that
the 1066
the Battle of Hastings
there's that big
fucking
tapestry
tapestry eye
and I'm pretty sure
one of the guys in it
shot through the eye
it's a big thing
like he got
he was like I'm gonna fucking win of the guys in it shot through the eye. It's a big thing like he got. He was like I'm going to fucking win this
and that would
make you lose. No matter
how good your general is
right. No matter how fucking inspiring
it is. If you get shot through the eye
their archers are too good.
Like that's
I'm done. Armoured down.
Weapons down. I'm fucking. What language

I think it's bad for the people taking part.
What about the person trying to draw the picture?
I'm a fucking knitting needle.
Not that he stitched it with a knitting needle.
No, no.
I'm aware of that as a man of the craft.
All this talk of eyes made me remember,
I might have told you this story before,
but you know how it is.
I'll wield it again for you.

oh aye
uh huh
Eden and I
was doing this
because you decided
that you want to
have an outing
with the podcast
so thanks for
being a guest on it
so thanks for
being a guest
on my podcast
Daniel
not one not one plug on Instagram or Twitter no I'm not on Twitter for being a guest on it. So thanks for being a guest on my podcast, Daniel.
Not one plug on Instagram or Twitter.
No.
I'm not on Twitter.
I should plug it more
on Instagram.
But I just...
There's two sides to things.
Like, I...
fucking hate social media so much.
And I hate people...
And I understand social media
is just for plugging this shit
but I've just got such a hatred
for people that relentlessly
fucking plug things
and I know this is an issue
I just need to get over it personally
that I'm like
I don't want to be that fucking cunt
and also
I know we want
I know you want this podcast to be
like bigger and better
and it can be
because you know
we've got such a lovely fan base
I like the fan base this already you just want to keep it keep it and I know we can be because you know we've got such a lovely fan base I like the fan base this already
you just want to
keep it
and I know we
shouldn't
because I know
I know there's
good audience
members out there
but like man
how do we find
them without
dragging in
dross
aye it's the
delisa chiponda
thing like it's
like man we've
got this good
fan base here
we're allowed to
be wrong on
this podcast
we're allowed to
like throw out
ideas ignorant fucking opinions nobody holds anything against us yeah you know we're allowed to be wrong on this podcast. We're allowed to like, throw out ideas, ignorant fucking opinions.
Nobody holds anything against us.
Yeah,
when,
you know,
we're allowed to just sort of,
I mean,
just be twat
and I really like the fucking freedom of it.
And if people,
I just worry that if there's more people
and they're second guess complaints,
I'm just going to go,
oh man.
Get a second guess everything that you say.
I remember when this was fun.
So we want to try and get cool people in,
which when we're back
gigging again
we'll be able to
because your audiences
are always class.
We're going to tell them
about it.
So there's probably
a lot of audience members
that come to the shows
that don't know what it's on
because they're not
on social media.
Well I mean
I'll tell you this
another reason why
it's hard to
plug on Insta
is just because like
I mean
first of all
our foot was not that great.
Oh wait
that's what I've come up with for you today.
That's what the surprise is.
I've got a new, I've got new branding done.
Because we've been using that grainy, dated photo.
We're almost catfishing.
People knew five years has passed.
So I thought we might as well catfish in the morning.
Like, I've got some common law done.
So I've got that.
That's going to be my new branding and stuff.
And I'm also going to give away five. i'm going to make a sign some stuff i've printed out five copies of the their new logo
and we're going to sign them and send them their five what patreons as a thank you for supporting
me sweet again with this point so you know once i've packaged it and branded it and that we'll
start pushing it a bit i start pushing a bit more eye because then it's i i and then if you've got
like i don't know yeah I mean I'll
if you want
man if you want it on Facebook
or Twitter
you've got to go through Marlena
I don't do my
will she put her muggle
fucking comment next to it
no
can you not like make a
personalised comment
that you can send to her
aye I do man
it's so funny
like she's
like
because she
likes me
posting things
in my voice
because
you know
that's what
that's what my audience like
and she thinks she
can do my voice. Do your voice? I can say it
in my life. That's what I was saying. I'm not going to ask Molly
that plug. I've seen her plug in your shows
where I'm like, that's not Danny.
Is that a Danny robot?
Is that the Danny Bot 3000 doing a
fucking post for your show? Here's a question for you.
What are my top five swear words
I use?
We can't. Aye.
Do you use
fanny a lot? Or is that me?
It's you I think. Aye.
You use it as a
adverb as well. Fanny and on.
Do you not? No. Right.
I projected that upon you. Aye.
I do say fanny but only about like if you're
being a, you can be a fanny,
but I wouldn't have sex
with a fanny.
I might slap a fanny.
Because I hate that
there's, like,
sexist connotations
to the word fanny
because, like,
in Scotland,
a fanny's just someone
that's fanny or not.
Like, you're being a fanny.
Oh, man,
people, they just go...
I've adopted this
from Natalie Cowan
as a fanny.
Aye.
When people are like,
oh, you know,
that's a sexist term,
you go,
man, look,
like, it comes from there, but the words change
and fucking evolve. You can sit there
with your, cunt's a sexist term all you
want. I'm not using it in a sexist way.
You can bring up the fucking history of it all you fucking like.
You're fucking wrong about it. I'm using
it with the definition it
has now. Not the definition it has
70 years ago, 100 years ago,
150 years ago. I'm using the word
cunt with the definition of what I know.
And a cunt is an annoying person who won't shut the
fuck up, just like you, you fucking cunt.
It's got nothing to do with a vagina, unless I'm using it
in the turn of, like, I've kicked her in the
cunt, or whatever.
Which would be sexist. Which is usually
said in the middle of an apology. Aye.
Sorry for kicking you in the cunt, love.
Aye.
Stop fanning on.
No, stop being a fan.
No, I think the biggest fannies are the people who think other people are being fannies.
Like, the hypocrisy of that comment.
The people who go, oh, I can't believe you can't put adverts anymore for York, you're
saying it's a man bar, right?
Oh, stop the earth, let me get off. You can for your saying it's a man bar, right?
Stop the earth, let me get off.
You can't even say it's a man chocolate bar anymore, right?
Hang on a minute.
You're the one being a fanny here because you're crying about a chocolate bar advert.
Don't.
He's not allowed to be advertised in this specific way.
Fuck off, you fanny.
My favourite advert.
Your favourite advert, you fucking loser.
Don't.
Go and take a long walk off of a short cliff, you fucking loser go and take a long walk
off of a short
cliff
you fucking
pleb
you know
they're going
yeah I can't
believe fucking
what ancestors
went to war
so he could
wear his hair
like that
on a top knot
you're like
are you critiquing
someone's haircut
you funny
you're absolute
funny
like they think
they're sticking
at the fannies
while simultaneously
being the biggest fannies.
Aye.
Yeah, you can't
fuck with others.
I just...
Aye.
Aye.
So,
so that's...
I wanted to bring
something up.
No, no, no.
We're still going
through my top five
swear words.
Okay, yeah.
So, cunt.
Cunt.
You know what?
I think you're
pretty basic with them.
Shit and piss.
Shit, piss.
I mean, you've missed
the big one.
Arsehole. Fuck. Fuck, yeah. Sorry piss I mean you've missed the big one arsehole
fuck
fuck yeah
sorry I did
miss the big
one and arsehole
was the fifth
I would say so
but I tell you
what it's not
bellend
I say bellend
I'm going to
say maybe once
or twice a
week
I'm not saying
I never say it
but maybe once
or twice a week
maximum
Marlena puts it
in every single
post
she's like alright
bellends
I'm like Marlena I don't say single post. She's like, all right, bellends. I'm like, Marlena,
I don't say all right, bellends.
I say, all right, fucking cunts.
That's the...
So, did I ever tell you about
when you called us?
I did,
because we fucking had
crack about it loads.
I called you a Jodie Bellend once
and she thought that was
the funniest thing
in the whole wide world.
She wanted a title.
I think that's why she thinks
I use bellend all the time.
She wanted a title.
My 2015 show, How To Be Happy About The
Secret To Happiness.
She wanted to call it Geordie Bellend.
And I'm like,
who's that for?
Because Geordies wouldn't like it.
I don't think Geordies would like it if I was pitching myself
as Geordie Bellend. Geordie Bellend sounds like a good drag
name. Geordie Bellend.
But Bell with like E-L-L-E. Yeah, yeah. Geordie Bellend sounds like a good drag name Geordie Bellend but Bell
with like
E-L-L-E
yeah
Geordie Bell
End
Geordie
Geordie Bellend
Geordie Bellend
we should have said that
she's going to listen to this
and that's going to be
the name of your next show
she does listen to me
hi Molly
now we love you
oh we do
I'll edit that out
I wanted to bring something up but I'm going to try Arlene, we love you. Aye, we do. I'll edit that out.
I wanted to bring something up,
but I'm going to try not to pass judgment here.
I'm just going to try and let you tie yourself in the knots.
Aye.
You, Daniel Sloss, Daniel James Sloss,
put the teabag in with the milk.
Aye.
And then add the hot water.
Yeah, add the what now?
Add the sugar in first as well.
Sugar. Yeah, well, put the sugar in with the boiling water. add the sugar in first as well sugar yeah well put the
put the sugar in
with the boiling water
it's soluble right
there's implications
why you would put that
in with the boiling water
before the milk
but it'll still dissolve
it's not gonna
you're not gonna get
crunchy bits of sugar in
if you put it in with the milk
that's not really
the big deal of it
it just tastes
fucking rank mate
I've never drank tea in my life
I can see why
I can see why now you could make me the greatest cup of tea in my life I can see why I can see why
if you could make me
the greatest cup of tea
in the world
I'm not going to enjoy it
like it's fucking
it's leaves in hot water
aye but you know
smoking a spliff
leaves in fire
aye that's way better
if you're going to give me leaves
let me fucking inhale it
like give me a fucking effect
it gives a psychoactive
cup of tea in my eyes
aye yeah absolutely
you put
man if you put
weed leaves if you put weed leaves are good leaves I like those leaves you makeactive cup of tea and I'm yours yeah absolutely you put man if you put weed leaves
if you put
weed leaves are good leaves
I like those leaves
you make a cup of tea
with that
I'll fucking drink it
regardless of what it tastes like
but you know
fucking tea leaves
grow up
any person that gets
you know you're
literally you're talking about
fannies that act like fannies
this is it
who gives a fucking shit
how fucking tea is made
it's like bottom tier drink no it's not it absolutely fucking is it's made whether it's a bottom tier drink or not Who gives a fucking shit how fucking tea is made? It's like bottom tier drink.
No, it's not like that at all.
It absolutely fucking is.
It's made,
whether it's a bottom tier drink or not,
it's a fucking,
it's a mass sold refreshment
that people love, right?
You didn't like it,
but you must look at that.
Like Natalie doesn't like coffee,
but she gets it that way
fucking like a coffee in the morning.
She doesn't beg at all.
It's just fucking,
what is it?
Beans.
Just beans.
Just fucking ground up beans.
You're fanny.
But that is how I feel about coffee
right so
it's a refreshment
that's fucking
world renowned
it's like
people love it
it's fucking got something about it
that just fucking
gives everybody that
ah feeling
like when they sit down
at the end of a long day
right
or if they get up in the morning
or you know
just with a breakfast
fucking people love tea
right
not you
right
that doesn't mean you have to
fucking butcher the shit out of it
when you make it for someone
no
the only person
I've made tea for
growing up in my entire
fucking life
was my mum
and she liked it that way
that's how she
yeah
oh Jesus
she liked it that
she specifically asked for it
that way
and she just tried it
the other way
I'll get her on the fucking board
man I'll get her on the board
I can phone her right now
and get her to defend herself
that would be interesting
because like
it doesn't matter what her defense is
because you're not like he because I had this conversation with you on whatsapp and you're
like she's a doctor she's a scientist I think you're not but you made her look like Carol
McGiffin you made her look like parking lot scientist rather than like the intelligent
woman that she actually is milk in milk in before the before the hot water.
Milk with a tea bar.
Aye, that's what she says.
Jesus, wept.
God, mum, you've got nothing else on
apart from your full-time job.
You're naked.
It's just like,
which is a weird metaphor
because you could just turn it around,
but it's like putting the filter on the wrong end of the spliff.
Which, if you did that, you would just turn it around.
But it's like smoking, it's like wanting to smoke your fucking spliff filter first.
You're like...
It's like you put your ketchup on your burger and then put it under the grill.
Like, it's just a weird, it's like...
You're just simply doing it wrong
and making it taste like a completely
different drink
it's honestly it's like you describe when you're like
you wipe your arse wrong
as long as it's fucking clean by the end
yeah that's the thing it's not you end up leaving the
toilet with shit out of your bowels Danny
if you're using that metaphor
your arse isn't clean by the end of it.
I don't, man,
I think tea is
bottom tier thing.
I'm never going to
fucking drink it.
I don't care for people
that fucking drink it.
If it improves your day
a single iota,
what a sad little life
you live.
Like, what a sad
little life
that the thing
that you live will be.
You like a refreshment.
It's not a refreshment,
it's a hot fucking drink.
It's a hot fucking drink it's a hot fucking drink
it's a hot drink
that's refreshing
that's the magic behind it
that's the beauty of it
in a cold country
when you can have something
that's hot and refreshing
from a man that has
fucking soup in the desert
you had soup in the desert
nah
pick a lane
you went to Arizona
and you ordered soup for breakfast
that wasn't Arizona
it was Arizona
nah
it was
nah
and also we were in an air conditioned airport
nah that is true
but like we had just
stepped in at the heat
and you were like
oh more of that
no no no
it's because American
look Britain is the only
country in the world
that does good
like sandwiches
in service stations
I don't know what it is
about the rest of the world
like you know
just packet sandwiches
yo you know what
it's the worst fucking
thing in the world right is that the front load of sandwich right so you go to W.H. Like, you know, just pack it in sandwiches. Yeah, you know what? It's the worst fucking thing in the world, right?
Is that the front load
of sandwich, right?
So you go to WH Smith
and you'll see all this
like ham and cheese
or whatever it is you're buying.
So you'll see like bread,
a thick wedge of filling,
bread, right?
But then if you open the sandwich,
you'll see the front load of it
and it's just across the cut
and it's not on the depth
of the sandwich.
What a shit prank.
What a fucking heartless,
shit cunt,
awful, vindictive,
shit thing to do.
And it's every European country
on the YouTube.
Which bastard does that
to make money?
All of them.
Fuck you.
Aye.
Fuck you pranking us with a sandwich.
Taking me money.
It's not like I get
a fucking wedge of notes
and all that
and then chuck 20 pence at you
and run off.
Aye.
I don't do that with the money when I give you it. It's fucking nasty. It's not like I get a fucking wedge of notes and all that and then chuck 20 pence at you and run off. Aye. I don't do that with the money when I give you it.
It's fucking nasty.
It's horrible.
But anyway, in America, they eat good sandwiches.
No, no, no, they don't.
So, man, eating in airports is fucking difficult, right?
Because America does do good breakfast,
but in the sense that, do you want 19 fucking pancakes?
Oh, it's so late. I'm going to have some breakfast. They have a side to pancake. I'm going to have some breakfast in the lake. do you want 19 fucking pancakes oh it's it's so late i'm gonna
i'm gonna have some breakfast i'm gonna have some breakfast in the lake do you want some diabetes
with it it's a side of pancakes man if you just want the only the only light thing you can order
in america it's soup it's the only light thing in the fucking world i have i'm feeling that
because i was tired of it when when we're two half American it's so hard
because it's the
portions you get given
and I'm raised
not to leave anything
man
I eat what I'm given
I try not
I try not to have waste
I'll tell you what
like what I'll do
is at some point
I will get on the
I'll get on the
blower to my mum
and I'll
I'll record
I'll just get
just record it on here
have a conversation
with your mum
and just like,
just watch everybody
just lose a little bit of respect
for you around the world.
Just a little bit.
In fact,
you know what?
This is my opinion.
Your opinion is that
people who find tea refreshing,
fuck you.
They can have your tea however.
I don't give a fuck.
I'll put a shit in it.
It's tea.
Yeah, it's tea.
This is my theory.
If you put milk in
before the hot water
when you're making tea
just give us your
national insurance number
it's revoked
you're not a citizen
man she's not
you're not a fucking
citizen
like she's
I guarantee you
she's the
smartest person
in this room
and
that listens to the podcast
and she does
something like
that's a bit of a war crime
it's a little bit of a
breach of the Geneva Convention
it's a bit of an atrocity
I need you to know
that you're turning into
Piers Morgan
and his fucking scone debate
it's like
you've got to put the cream on
before the jam
otherwise it's fucking wrong
it's against the
oh who gives a fucking shit
mate
I'm just saying
it's a bomb to your snack
I just think this
you know how like
I hold your mom
in high esteem
I've got her
on such a pedestal
very intelligent woman
very smart
very measured
but you know how
there's that thing
of like
Hitler loved his dog
this is like the opposite
this is like
Leslie Sloss
puts the milk in
with the tea bag
before the hot water
that's what that is
and that
you're just conditioned
to just take everything
that she gives you
and run with it because she's mostly right
but she's really sulked you down the river with this one
Daniel James Sloss
honestly I can't
no
insult hurts me less
than you make a shit cup of tea
I need everyone
to understand
you could get a thousand people to chant
at me for four hours
and I would look
at those people going
I am cooler
than everyone doing this
I don't
I wouldn't have any
bullying connotations
I wouldn't feel bad
about myself
no no
this is just to put it
into perspective right
you know
if you
if you
give me a shot
of expensive whiskey
right
and I just crack it up
in a fucking tin of Pepsi Max
and topped it up with a Pepsi Max, right?
And then I started giving you grief and boot.
It's only fucking hops in our lap, man.
That's just how I like it.
Oh, what are you saying?
Oh, yeah, she's ringing.
Hello?
Speak out.
Hello?
Hiya.
So, we're on the podcast.
It's not Sloss and Humphries on the Road podcast.
Aye.
And Kai is angry at me
Because
Basically he found out I make
Tea
You put the milk in
You put the milk in
With the bag and then the hot water
Yes
Yes you put the milk in
Yeah and then the bag's in there And then you pour the hot water on And then you put the bag... No, you put the milk in, yeah, and then the bag's in there
and then you pour the hot water on
and then you take the bag out immediately.
There you go.
Leslie,
why are you doing this?
Because that's what tea should look like.
It should look like dirty dishwasher.
That's...
And it shouldn't taste of tea.
Listen to what you're saying.
Listen to what you're saying.
Dirty dishwasher's not... dishwasher's not a positive thing.
I just like hot milky water, but I pretend it's tea.
I think that's the issue.
Oh, right.
Yeah, you don't like tea.
Oh, because it's bottom tier fucking drink.
That's why it's shite.
Was there not...
I've been defending you to the hilt,
saying that there was some science behind it,
because that normally helps me win arguments.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no again because he was very rude he talked over and explain it he does that on podcasts he talks over people i've seen that if you drop the milk in all the milk gets scalded if you put the milk in at
the bottom and pour the hot water in then the milk heats up slower than it would by thrusting it into
a bucket of hot tea you know what i mean so milk tastes different i can tell if martin has put the
milk in afterwards correctly ily, you mean?
Instead of saying afterwards, could you say
correctly?
Hit a correct prediction.
If Martin dares to make me a proper cup of
tea, I can tell and I send him
back to do it wrong. Is that what you want me to say?
Yes, thank you. Thanks
for clarifying that, Leslie. You're a star.
Thank you, Mum. Love you.
Love you. Bye. Bye. Oh my God, you're a star. Thank you, Mum. Love you. Love you.
Bye.
Bye.
Oh, my God.
What a weird family.
Bye.
What a weird family.
But there you go.
There's another one
that's mine.
I'm not full of shit.
I just found out
just this moment
that Josie killed herself
because the cup of tea
she was brought.
She couldn't make her own.
We were...
Hold on.
Hold on.
She couldn't make her own.
Hold on.
Hold on.
We were giving
a six-year-old spastic cups of tea.
God, we really are a weird family.
You can't call it tea, let's be honest.
We call it dirty dishwater.
He should have been honest with that.
Should have given her some fucking coffee.
Fucking made her snort the beans and put the hot water in her mouth.
Oh my God.
Right, that's enough about my mum.
Let's move on to your dad.
Okay.
Before we move on to the dads, let us just plug.
We're going to be at the Fringe.
If you are in around Edinburgh, thinking about visiting Edinburgh,
we're going to be doing shows.
You're doing a solo show, which I'll be opening for.
It's not a solo show then, is it?
Well, never is, really.
I'll be doing a work-in-progress show,
a new material with Gareth Waugh and Ryan Cullen.
Guild of Balloons, I think, but it's not on sale yet,
so I'll let you know when it's confirmed.
Aye, and I'm on the Corn Exchange,
and we're also going to add some dates
at the Edinburgh Festival Theatre, and you can find those.
Also, by the way, if you're in Edinburgh, do us a favour.
Go and tell people that the Edinburgh Festival's on.
And not just to see my show,
but a lot of people I'm
talking to in Edinburgh, friends are like,
is the Fringe on this year? And you're like,
yeah, because they've not done a lot of advertising.
Because there's normally billboards full of
pictures everywhere, like you can see the Fringe coming at
mail-off from July. So please,
even if it's not to see
my show, please
understand that the Fringe is on in a
smaller capacity and
go with a lot of goodwill. The fucking comedians
are like fucking coming back out of the hibernation.
And just yeah, go tell your friends that
the Fringe is on and go to see other shows, whatever
they are, to go out and do the
research because we missed it last year. It's a
fucking great festival, let's say.
And it's not going to be the same this year, but we're
building up and it doesn't have to be
as good as the previous years because it's better than
last year's.
And also, I want to plug
the Thursday Patreon is when
you're going to find out about the new branding and
when five of you are
going to get given a signed picture. Wherever
you are in the world, I'll send it to you.
Your dad dislocated his eye
from its socket by rolling them
watching women competing in the Olympics.
Your dad still has his baby teeth.
You ever seen a vodka luge?
Vodka luge?
Like the big ice sculpture and then you hold your mouth
at the bottom of a slide on the ice
and they pour vodka from the top and it goes down the ice into your mouth at the bottom of a slide on the ice and they pour vodka from the top
and it goes down the ice
into your mouth and the vodka's cold.
Have you ever seen one of those things?
That sounds like such a Cara Mitchell thing.
Oh, I mean, it probably is.
Oh my God, we should get one at the wedding.
Get a vodka.
Cara, Cara, Cara,
if you're listening to this,
book one for the wedding,
I can't be arsed.
Right, anyway, right.
So you know, now that I've played them,
your dad does that with
mouthwash in your mum's crack.
Your dad
swapped his passport for a kidney on the black market
and was mortified when he couldn't use it to get the
bit of dough.
Your dad puts out candles
with his arse. Not farting. Doesn't
fart them out. Squats above it.
Opens his butthole.
Lowers his body.
And then pinches it out.
Oh, nice.
His 50th birthday cake took ages.
And he licked his ass lips between each one.
Ass lips?
Ass lips?
Yeah.
Your dad wanted to be taller,
so he bowed himself up to the knees in the garden
and watered himself.
Your dad inflates his car tires with his mouth.
He's got fucking incredible lungs.
It's impressive.
What's funny about it is he has to get his tongue
into the little valve bit.
Your mum's a lucky woman.
Your dad lost his sense of smell through COVID
as if by coincidence he now bonds a lot more with his children and sleeps in the same bed
as his wife.
Your dad lost his
job as a fluffer in porn because
every time there was a cum shot he jumped in the way
like a bodyguard taking a hit for the president.
Mr President!
No! God damn it, Kev!
Right on his tits.
No, no, I'm just his van halen shirt
he's just wearing that
you know you look like
a fucking toddler with
just a t-shirt on
you still got a hard
on from fluffing it
your dad hires a male
escort to come round to
his house and play with
lego
oh nostalgia for the Your dad hires a male escort to come round to his house and play with Lego.
Nostalgia for the joke I just told.
Alright.
See you next week.
See you Thursday for the big reveal.
