enjoy this episode. Accidental rim job in the park. Kiss, kiss, kiss. Or am I just being cynical? Just muggled it up on fucking Mugglopedia.
Where have you been since 9-11?
So, I've had one week to think about it and I've come up with me spin.
Oh, the dog spin?
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
So when people say it's walking their dog, walking their dog.
Yeah, your dog.
Our dog, yeah.
Peggy.
Absolutely. Absolutely. Already. Already raging. dog yeah your dog our dog yeah um piggy absolutely already already raging why are you raging well one because i've been very open about the fact that in 26 years when ray the fat cat finally dies
and we move on to other cats because she can't have other cats because she's a cunt
we're gonna get two main coons
and I want to call them
Pegasus and Superman
or Peggy and Sue for short
because I think that's very funny
and also it does count as nothing.
And Natalie is now...
So what's the reference?
What's the Peggy Sue?
Being that close, I don't know.
Technical difficulties.
What's the Peggy Sue reference? Is close to MF. Technical difficulties. What's the Peggy Sue reference?
Is Peggy Sue...
Peggy and Sue.
Because when you first told me on the podcast,
I thought it was like Kim and Aggie, like the cleaners.
Who the fuck is Kim and Aggie?
The cleaners from a TV show.
You've got Kim and Aggie.
You've got French and Saunders
aye
you've got
I'm really bad
at female combinations
aye
there's way more
you don't know Kim and Aggie
no
so I thought Peggy and Sue
was like in our homes
under the hammer
or something like that
maybe it is
oh
is it not
maybe it is
maybe that's where I've got it from
Sue
what's that
lesbian Sue
on the back of called
Sue Perkins
Sue Perkins.
Sue Perkins, yeah.
Has she got a mate called Peggy?
Maybe.
So I thought it was something off that rate.
But anyway, regardless, Natalie listened to the podcast.
You want to call them Pegasus and Superman so they look like someone dead cool,
but then it's Peggy and Sue, so they're like little...
Aye.
Aye.
And Natalie claims that's not why she wanted to call the dog Peggy,
but she never mentioned the name Peggy
before she listened to
that episode i mean she's just she's she's baby named jacked which is like apparently
not the done thing my mom fell out with one of our neighbors for probably still to this day
because uh they were pregnant together and my mom um was going to call our child Stephanie. You were going to be called Stephanie?
No,
it wasn't me.
No,
no,
no,
that's what you've just said.
No,
no.
We can roll back the tape and I think you just confirmed
that you were going to be called Stephanie.
No,
no,
I am recalling this
from an account when I was alive.
Oh,
mm-hmm.
I was pregnant with my sister
who was fated
to be called Stephanie
and my mum had spoken
publicly about this.
Fanny for sure.
Ah.
Is that what Fanny's
show for?
No.
Francis probably.
Aye.
Benjamin.
So
my mum was open
about this
and then my neighbour
who was also pregnant
at the same time
called her kid Stephanie
and personally
if that was me
I'd be like
oh there's two Stephanies
living on our street
what do you know
I like that one
that wouldn't change it for me
but my mum was just like
I'm going to call the bitch Justine
that'll show her
so
well man if you
well
when you name your
little dog Peggy
I'm still calling her cat Peggy
so
yeah cool
like I'm not
aye I just don't think it's fair so I'll come and go to Peggy or a little dog Peggy, I'm still calling our cat Peggy. Yeah, cool. Like, I'm not.
Aye.
I just don't think it's fair.
So I come and go to Peggy.
Or is it called Peggy because it pegs you?
You fucking loser.
So, on that note, on that note, which no, my dog doesn't peg us.
Well, I mean, it's... But when people see me walking my dog...
Yeah, the dog that your girlfriend pegs.
They won't go, oh, your girlfriend, your girlfriend,
your girlfriend picks your dog.
They will do that.
They will go,
his girlfriend must take it up the arse.
Oh.
Like, she must suck his dick
all the time
for him to be like.
Right.
So what you're hoping is
that they're going to look at you
with your dog
and then concut
a lie in their own heads.
No.
I'm saying they'll go, i'd do stuff like that for my
lass if she'd done that sort of thing i would do that like see you working your fucking whatever
german shepherd and all that and again i fucking yeah she'll just do anything not to shag him
she's gonna i sure have a dog that's gonna slobber aloe and get her aloe the couch right and like
just just stop trying to shag
it's just eat
live your life
get a best friend
and people are going to
look at me with a little dog
and go
fucking hell
his sex life is off the charts
I mean that is
some
I've been trying Daniel
I've been trying to spin it
and this is what I've come up with
alright well
I hope it's true
that you're mad at it
okay
aye
and you know what
she's known to sometimes taking it up the shit out,
like, before we're married and that.
Aye.
And I used to get...
You sure you want this on the podcast?
I used to get...
This is a Monday one, isn't it?
Aye.
Oh, fuck.
Aye.
Sorry, Natalie.
Just as always, just so you know, Natalie,
I obviously brought up none of this.
Aye.
I've ran it past Natalie.
You also...
I've ran my theory past Natalie.
Aye.
And what does she think
Did she tell you you were allowed to have that opinion
She scratched me chin and gave us a treat
When do you
Get your little
Feminine dog
On September the 8th
The anniversary
Is it
Totally unplanned but like saves as, like, saves us a gift.
Absolutely saves us a gift.
Happy with that.
Also, she listened to the podcast,
come up with a new dog name, miraculously,
nothing to do with the podcast,
and also told us that I had to correct everyone,
retraction, that it's two and a half grand,
not 3.75, which I stated,
which actually, like, really shows my trouser wearing stance in the
relationship that like i just was like cool with that well yeah and i mean two and a half grand
for a dog is way more reasonable it's still a bit too much but also there's free ones down the road
mate they've got entire shops just for them not shops because they're free you just go
rescue a real one
a proper real actual
dog that does dog
things
like bark
I don't want it to
bark
I don't want it to
mould hair and it's
not going to mould
hair
you don't want it to
defend you under
any circumstance
don't want it to
defend us
I do want it to
get anxious
the worst thing
about this podcast is we're trialling video on it to see if. The worst thing about this podcast is
we're trailing video on it
to see if we can work the video.
It might not see the later day or whatever, right?
But on the podcast,
like the previous podcast,
last Monday's Your Girlfriend Picked a Dog episode,
like people couldn't see
how absolutely defeated I was.
But now there might be an option
to go on YouTube
and see how utterly defeated I am.
On that note note we are
as always we're taking further steps to
improving the podcast now that you
cunts are fucking paying for it
so
we've got one camera
realistically at one point we'll probably need fucking
two but we
need to work out on we're getting someone
to potentially edit stuff together
the sound's already better.
We are making moves to have, I don't know,
just better content.
But it does instantly become harder on the fucking road.
Yeah, I've actually, I've bought,
there's this company in Denmark
that do like custom made luggage
for specific sound equipment.
And I've managed to get hold of a portable carry-on.
For this?
For this bad boy.
Carry-on?
Carry-on.
Oh, okay.
I mean, right, I locked up EasyJet, right?
Unless you've got the legroom seats, right?
Did you know this was EasyJet?
Like, if you've got legroom seats, you get bigger luggage.
No.
By, like, 10 centimetres or something.
Aye, so apparently...
When are we fucking flying EasyJet?
Sunday.
Are we? I think so.
We're going to Lisbon. I'm sure it's EasyJet.
So I think it's going to be like, depending on
what our tickets are,
I don't know if the Ganymede has put it in the hold.
It'll be fine in the hold. It just means I might have to pay a bit more.
But we're
flying again soon.
Are we taking these mics with us?
Yes.
Do they have stands?
No, I'll put them in my luggage.
Right.
Or we can just bring the little stands.
But we do have stands.
We could take this off the podcast.
We could.
We could.
No, no, no.
But I think this is fair.
The production quality becomes better,
but the content becomes way worse.
Oh, yeah.
It's a good trade-off, isn't oh yeah it's a good trade off
isn't it
it's a fair trade off
I did make that
really
I made that clear as well
when I said like
you've upped the game
with the tech
but like
I'm not making any
promises
I refuse to be funny
at all anymore
you were never funny
people on the podcast
you're fucking a stick
you know what
you know when people
first find out
you're a comedian
and they just like think that you're there and then gonna make them laugh that is the you know what you know when people first find out you're a comedian and they just like
think that you're
there and then
gonna make them laugh
that is the
you know what
somebody like
broke the mold
with it the other day
it was you know
the guy who
sold us the house
I don't know him personally
you don't know him
personally right
but yeah
he came round
to pick up some mail
because some mail
still arrived here
and we're giving him
his hose back
because we've got
a new hose and I was there like i'll get that back whatever um and i just got chatting
with him and he asked what it was i do because i like you saw me studio when the fucking like
foam pads on the wall and all that and just making conversation that's what it does and i tell them
and then he just went oh i bet it makes you sick when people just find out what you're doing that's
gonna be funny i was like, the fucking awareness of that.
Like, I met her so happy
because it was fucking nine o'clock in the morning.
I forgot he was coming round.
I fucking, when I answered the door,
I had to quickly grab a t-shirt
because I was just in my pyjamas
and all that, right?
There's some moments, you know,
before I've had my first coffee,
I've never felt less funny
in my entire fucking life.
And the last thing I want to do
is be in my pyjamas,
in my kitchen,
trying to make someone with a fucking shit-eating grin laugh because they've funded i'm a comedian just now
that's not where i want to be in my life that is one of the like it's a hack joke that everyone
does at the start of their career as a star what was yours mine's was you know the original before
i tell you i was the original was bobhouse, and it was a cartographer,
and it was go on, then draw me a map.
Is that the original?
That was the original.
That was the ground zero of that joke,
or the patient zero.
I think mine was fireman.
Okay.
So how did you punchline that?
I can't remember.
I don't know if I did.
Oh, you're a fireman.
Go on, then.
Get us out of a tree.
Or just like light a fire.
And then probably like a porn star or something like that would have been where I think.
Mine?
Mine would have gone.
Mine one was epileptic.
Oh, you're epileptic.
Go on then, swallow your tongue.
I thought it was quite an original spin on it.
I was like quite
happy to have me
own one of them
because I was
like,
sorry,
that one.
But that's like a
joke.
I remember at one
point I saw a
comedian do a joke
like a new open
spot,
do a joke with
different punchlines
along that vein.
And some other
comedian was like,
oh,
that's my joke.
And I'm like,
buddy,
that's all of our
jokes.
You don't get to
claim fucking ownership. Like that's a, because sometimes there is such a thing as blatant fucking joke
theft but then there is also stumbling across the same premise now i stumbled across the same
premise as the uh late great sean lock i used to have a fucking joke and he did a carrot in a box
he did it way better but the joke was i I always hate that fucking excuse that racists use,
which is, I'm not racist, some of my best friends are black.
That's like saying, I'm not a paedophile,
some of my closest friends are children, right?
So that was one of the first jokes I ever wrote.
And then I went down and me and Sean Locke were doing the same gig
and he just told it way better.
And I remember at the time, just like my tiny 18 year old ego just trying to
backwards manufacture how
Sean Lock clearly had writers
and one of them had been to my gig
oh no he didn't
this wasn't anything I said out loud but while I was
watching it trying to
justify it to him
and then it was just after a bit of time I was like man
we just, I mean you watch the rest of the set
he was such a brilliant comic I'm like he just got there before i did and because he's more famous he's got
the rights to the fucking joke i sometimes sometimes if somebody like just more famous
than you gets the gets the joke on a bigger platform you just have to just admit defeat
you like i didn't get it stolen from us but that's why I can't do my black stuff anymore because of Chris Rock
he got there just
before me
I think I had it
first
so Sean Logsdale
isn't that sad
it's fucking shit
because like
I mean we met
him a couple of
times
you donated
10 cats for him
no
yep yep
he was lovely to
me
then and also
he was at
Altitude
that's what I was going to say
I didn't know if you were just
such good fun at Altitude
because he instigated
everyone getting in the cupboard
there was like
they used it as a box office
but it was like
a little cloak room
and he was in there
with just like
the lasses at work
at Altitude
like Natalie
my wife
and Mary
and Soraya
and Belle
and Andy Smart
and a couple of the
improv trums
and then Marcus Brigstock
went in
and Coppinger and then fucking me and you then Marcus Brigstock went in and Coppinger
and then fucking me
and you came by
and Brett come in
and it was just like
it was about fucking
30 of us
in this tiny little car
it was like a clown car
and it was just
what started off
was just a shit bit
and remained a shit bit
just became funnier
and funnier
and funnier
but it was one of them
like as a
like a fresh new comedian
compared to him
and like lads on that
level um it was just one of them bizarre situations where you're like fucking wedged in a cupboard with
sean lock like you know how sometimes you just have their moments in comedy where you're just like
the fuck is going on with my life here i'm just up the alps somewhere fucking wedged in a broom
cupboard with one of my heroes it was a yeah and here's my was this is such a
testament to what makes a person a good person
for me he was always lovely
to my mum and dad
went out of his way to speak to them
always remembered their name
because he knew that we were all comedy fans
and that we were all big Sean Locke fans
he knew it there was no way
they didn't understand how much we all fucking loved
what he did and
sometimes you can get comedians who don't like that and they fucking shirk away from it but
you know my dad would be sitting there with a big shitty grin telling funny stories and
would laugh at the fucking jokes and join in yeah i noticed you made like a special effect with uh
the non-comedians i like the not the non-coms like he ended up like chatting to natalie in a bar for
ages and nat Natalie was just
Absolutely fucking
Captivated by him
And that
Just because
He's just such a
Good storyteller
And he's so funny
And so intelligent
And I was just like
I was just really
Like pleased that
He was taking the time out
For people that
Weren't in the industries
Which is
What a lot of comedians
Don't do
And it's like
It's such a shitty thing
To overlook
But like the majority
like it's clicky,
you know,
and I just thought
that was absolutely class
and when we watched him
from the balcony
at the gala show
in just every single comic,
just fucking,
not a single comic
missed his performance.
He just like,
shit,
this is fucking.
I also found,
I also found.
This is a learning opportunity. it's not just you get
to watch someone you get to like you get to try and understand the mechanics of it i watch the
craft can you tell the story no absolutely not can you know that's not a story to tell 100%
not telling the story never okay and you are very bad at working out what and what not to say on this fucking podcast.
I know.
You know why?
Because I normally live my life where I feel like I can say anything because I just say
whatever.
Like, I just say stuff because I've heard it.
I'm passing it on and all that.
But, like, I sometimes don't respect other people's privacy.
I'm very aware.
That's a problem for me.
But one thing I did think was you know when everyone was
because I loved
all the testimonials
on Facebook
like I
and I didn't do it
because
one thing I hate
when somebody dies
is when like
people make it about them
or try and harvest likes
off what
what their experience
is
or what their opinion is
and the story
about the time I met them
and how they impacted my life
and I understand
that it comes from a good place
because when Trevor Moore died,
I really liked
one of the other guys
from White's Kid You Know.
Just kept posting photos
of Trevor
and just talking about
what he was like
as a person
and like,
you know,
how much he loved his wife
and how much he loved his kid
and he always,
he never tried to do
anything fashion related
but he always looked dead good
and he took great photos.
And it was just really nice
to have like this,
this friend of his that's you know grieving but he's
grieving in a way that he's just selling telling stories about this man that I really really liked
and it was an insight and I'm going you you could do that because you're the friend like you're
there close enough throughout his life to be an actual point. You know, he just gets to go, I was on a show with him and he said hello once.
Oh God.
I met him once.
And I felt a little bit like I was going to do that
because I put out a fucking Facebook status.
But I did it because I was comforted by everyone else's.
I really enjoyed reading all of the testimonials
from people that met him briefly,
people that had known him like his whole career.
Like that's another thing. It's like like i didn't know him very well but i'm like close to people that
that are very close to him and it's like them shock waves hit you like the the the fucking
like the passive grief and um i just i was really comforted by like just the industry response to it
and like it was just this day of like just nice thoughts
and nice vibes about this man that everyone was sad that we've lost right and uh i fuck i'm
forgetting i'm forgetting where i was going with it but people do you thought you weren't going to
do any fucking tribute oh yeah yeah this is where i was going with it and then when i saw all the
tributes i thought it would be really on brand for Sean Lockford to be a hoax
because he wanted to read what people said.
It would have been like...
I saw people tagging him on Twitter and I'm like,
you are aware the only reason he went on Twitter
was because somebody was pretending to be him on Twitter
and he just created a Twitter account, got verified,
and then went, this is my real account, I hate Twitter.
And that was his last tweet.
That was his last tweet?
And that was seven or eight years ago.
So funny.
So, like, it was just because of the little things that Adam made you think,
like, hey, I wonder if he's just fucking, like, done, like,
was it Jimmy Nail on there?
You've probably not watched Off Weeders and Pet.
I'm going to assume you haven't.
When they rebooted that, he got the old crew back together
by staging his own death so that, like, the turnout for his funeral
so that he could go, right, it's the only way I together by staging his own death. So that like the turnout for his funeral, so that he could go,
right,
it's the only way I could get you in the room.
So you reckon this is Sean Locke just trying to get eight out of ten cats back together?
I think Sean Locke is trying to rip off Jimmy Neal.
That's my angle.
I like,
I'm not,
I'm not on Twitter,
but Marlena sent me a fucking message.
She was like, do you want to tweet anything about Jean-Luc and I was just like
nah man like I'm enjoying reading what other people have to
say but also like I met him
I met him a couple times he was always
just weird to me like I was
I was gutted when he died
like spoke to Cara about it for a bit
spoke to Colin and that just being like you know
he was a really nice guy and he was
so funny and but you know that's my thing i don't want to i don't want to just join in this
fucking wave and if that's how people want to agree if that's how they want to agree but the
way i'm choosing is i'm just making my own thing and fucking subcunt online was just like why have
you not posted about sean logger you're going fucking what cunt it's my fucking job to comment
on every fucking i owe you a reaction
do i what am i a fucking youtube star for all he knows you could be like really close to him and
composing yourself all right like he doesn't know what the fuck your situation is what do you think
about this death what the fuck are you talking about but um it was because uh marlene marlene
has got yeah um she's got your Twitter account and she's got a Twitter promote
and the American dates
came out
and she clearly
scheduled a bunch of tweets
to time with the release
of the things
and scrolling through Twitter
it really looked like
you hadn't read the room
no I just think
it was totally like
I just think
what Sean Locke
would have wanted
was for people
to come see me on Twitter
I was scrolling through and it was testimonial after testimonial.
It was like, come see me in Boston.
Aye, but you understand that's your Twitter feed.
No, that's my Twitter feed.
That's not everyone else's.
No, it didn't.
Aye, let's, I just, I hate people that,
man, you're allowed to be on Twitter.
I loved it for years and years and years.
But anyone that pretends it's
anything other than a vitriolic cesspit hi i'm just like that's all it is man you can use it
for promotion i understand you can but like it's a fucking cesspit of shit and like let's not
pretend there are any good rules on it like the golden years of twitter are over now the q and
o very brief hi there was classified...
It was like Vine.
Remember how good Vine was?
Oh, I made Vine.
What happened to Vine?
I think somebody bought it
and then shat it off.
You know, if Vine came out now,
do you think, like,
that would be your scan?
Oh, just leave it for the kids.
But at the time,
we kind of were kids.
Is that TikTok?
No, no.
Vine was...
Vine had, like,
parameters of creativity. It was like... had, like, parameters of creativity.
It was like, it's just six-second clips.
That's all it is.
You're not getting more.
You're not getting less.
You hold the video and stop, and it stops recording,
but you can continue again,
so you can change the environment a bit.
Aye.
We were fucking, like, I thought we were pretty creative with that.
Like, we've done some good Vines.
Bo Burnham's Vines were always fucking brilliant. So many comedians were very, very good in it. Whereas like, I thought we were pretty creative with that. Like, we've done some good vines. Oh, Burnham's vines were always fucking brilliant.
So many comedians were very, very good in it.
With this TikTok, I mean, I just can't.
I might pay someone one day to do a Daniel Sloss TikTok,
which they just do, but I'm actively never going on it.
When I was doing a bit of research on, like, Twitch
and how to get Twitch viewership,
it's obviously, like, one of the obvious tips obvious tips is like tell people about it on social media like
people will find out about on social media and come off and everyone was like do not underestimate
the power of tiktok like there's so apparently there's so much weight on conversion of like
views to um like views to like people looking at the rest of your stuff like maybe they'll see a
short clip they'll go and check out your youtube of your stuff. Like maybe they'll see a short clip.
They'll go and check out your YouTube.
They'll check out your Twitch.
They'll check out your podcast.
But for me,
it's just like,
I don't want to fish in that pond.
Like I really don't.
And obviously like when,
because with video and this,
I'm going to be cutting down shorter clips,
getting some subtitles on and putting them out on socials.
And I'll put them on like Instagram and I'll put them on,
like I'll build an Instagram specifically for this.
So I'm not just spamming off my own account so that people that follow
this are following this for that reason
so that they can see
short clips on there
I know I should make a TikTok for the podcast
if we've got video clips to put
out and short clips to put out, I know I should
but it would be
harder for me than
eating me words about getting a shit little dog
It would be like it would be harder for me than eating me words about getting a shit little dog.
Aye, that's just... It would be like, how many of me words am I going to eat in this world?
Like, it gets to the point where you're just like,
that episode of Black Mirror where the lad's got the bit of glass next to his throat.
It's like, I've succumbed to it all.
I've succumbed to every single piece of this life.
We've also
got, what
we were originally talking about there, was obviously
adding potentially videos to this, which we
I mean, I imagine we will. The TikTok
thing, I wouldn't mind it. I saw us on the road
TikTok, that's allowed, but
we would both have to stand in the corner for
45 years afterwards.
Okay, right, if we do it,
our first post
Has got to just be us
In the corner
Shagging
Then we can buy enough
TikTok for explicit content
Perfect there we go
We tried
We tried
We nailed it
We were too powerful
They didn't want to see our truth
We broke the internet

One of the wags that was there,
and one of Natalie's friend's husbands was pure, like, funny guy at the office.
Right?
And he's normally a funny guy at the wedding,
but he was at a wedding full of comedians.
He'd just come off like a pure dork.
And you're like, man, just drop there.
It's not your responsibility, man man I've heard all of these jokes

You know
Our first ever episodes
That we ever put up

A lot of trolley token
Bants about you
Having a trolley token
Which I still have a
You know what
I don't have a trolley token anymore
And I've just got a quid
That sits in the fucking Tesla
And I'm like
It'd be way easier
Is that because of peer pressure?
What?
You get peer pressure
Because I lost my
because it worked
because I used to have
I used to have keys
it is good to have
because you'll end up
spending the quid

absolute bastard

Is because
They trust you with the trolleys
Do they
Aye

I've never lived in a place like that in my life
There's not
Man there's
There is nothing fucking worse
Than when you get to like Sainsbury's And You just don't have a question you're like what what right so

bit of gum and then go can you give me a fucking quid just to go back outside the shop and then put
a quid in hell on earth hell on earth you know what that's my nam i don't mind saying

nude pens you know i right so it's like as normal then you click it and we've got no clothes on is
that an option i feel like you open the pen to put a clothes on to feel like god i've got no clothes on. Is that an option? I feel like you open the pen to put a clothes on.
To feel like,
God, I've got to do more writing.
I can't look at this no more.
We should do,
remember those little circle things and you had a magnet.
Pogs.
No.
It had a face on it,
but you could use all the iron shavings
to get the guy.
Etch-a-sketch.
Kind of give them a new haircut.
So it'd be like oh yeah like a
mustache or whatever you're doing it like it's small but they were quite big boards then were
they yeah they were like so you you would have like little stamps with magnets on that you could
put stuff on i mean i never i i mean i grew up in a generation of drew drew i was just like can i
borrow that when i finished stephan justine step i keep getting your name. I had it in my head for years and years before I was born.
I was practising,
yeah.
When mum said that you were going to be called Stephanie,
I practised saying Stephanie in front of the mirror over and over and over again.
I was holding,
you know,
the cabbage bag to catch it.
I was like,
Stephanie,
so I'm just,
just used to it.
So I hope you didn't practise like giving treats to an imaginary piggy.
Well,
I don't
think you can name your animal
until you've spent some time with it and
getting a gauge on its personality.
No,
that's how you name babies.
You hold a baby and you're like,
I thought this was going to be a Steve,
but it's very clearly a Justine.
Like, you know,
it's just,
it might have a completely different nature
to the name you're about to sign to it.
What, like if you call it fucking
You know, like,
say if you're going to call it Darren.
Aye.
Right, and then you get it.
It's got to be a scummy wee dog.
Aye, and then you get it
and it's just not an arsehole
at no point
does it bark at children
or lick it's own arsehole
you're like
oh you're not a Daz at all
aye
I don't
you ever met
you ever met a sound Darren
like
no offence if you're
called Darren
no no
at this point
full offence
from me personally
but like
people only hang around
with you
because you've got a van
and they may need to borrow it.
I'm trying to think if I know any good Darrens.
I don't even have a day.
I don't think I'm not there.
Can we...
Can we...
Friends close, enemies closer,
and completely miles away from Darrens.
Any Darren.
It was always my fucking go-to joke.
If you know someone's a fuck,
any AZA, any of them,
not a good person.
Gaza, Daza, Gaza.
Here's how Darren is, right?
Darren's like someone that you like,
contact him because he might be able
to get hold of your drugs and he can.
Aye.
Right?
But then like,
you'll hang out with him.
You can't get rid of him.
Aye, comes in,
all right boys,
we got you those two crabs of coke you want
So where we doing them
We're not
Oh
You mistook me purchase
For an invite man
Like oh man
If like everyone done this
I couldn't fucking
Get into Argos
For a watch
We'd fucking
Take the cashier home
With us to fucking
Oh yeah to our tent
Look at the time
We're just casting
Shit on Doris
I don't think
Darren goes to
Darren goes up to the pub
he's like I'll get the next round lads
and then comes back with
five apple sures and you're like man
right that's not
that's not a shot
it's just
you might as well have just put a tiny bit of vodka
into some fucking syrup at this point
it's either tequila
or a can you remember when Rouge bought tiny bit of vodka into some fucking syrup at this point it's either tequila or
can you remember
when
Rouge bought
were shots
in Hive
oh it wasn't
where like
were you not there
no
oh no it wasn't even Hive
it was Espinoche
the one that's
downstairs
and tall
and different levels
he just
he come with his
tray of shots right
like fucking
not even
we're not even
doing rounds of shots
he's just been he's been a good mate he's been the opposite of a daza he's been a good
mate he's been a solid lad he's like i'm out i'm at the fringe we're having a good time i don't
give a fuck that it's like nine away i'm gonna get everybody a shot right and he fucking comes
back with a tree on his hand gives everyone a shot shout out, and cheers it, and down it,
and it was fucking vodka.
I just don't,
I've never seen that before.
I have,
but only in house parties when I was 15, 16, 17.
And you know that's gonna happen?
Yeah, aye.
Like, and I know like,
most shots that you have,
like tequilas and sambucas,
they've got a kick in all that,
and they send you a bit sideways,
but there's something
about surprise vodka
like you know
even when you're
expecting tequila
or sambuca
when you're getting
hit with surprise vodka
I was like
are we in fucking
are we in Russia
well no
because if we were in Russia
it would be nice vodka
it wouldn't be
it wouldn't be
glens
it wouldn't be
glens
in a badly washed
fucking glass there was something really jarring
about that right where you come along and everyone's like good spirits and cheers and then
you've just got all these people just mouth to the back of the hand and bam mate what's your problem
that was a horrible prank to play what have i done to you that probably needs ruined the old yeah the
older i get the more recovery time I need
for after a shot
to the point where I'm like
I'll do most shots
there's some I'll straight up turn down
and toxic masculinity doesn't work on me anymore
you can call me all the names under the fucking sun
I'm not doing a shot
of fucking Sambuca ever again
how are you doing with Sambuca?
man
my liver's got a trigger warning and it's fucking Sambuca ever again I've it's how you doing with Sambuca it's man it's my liver's got a trigger warning
and it's fucking Sambuca
also Cafe Patron
can now fuck off
I'm done with that
tequila
Cafe Patron
you know what
I've started recreationally
just having a little
nightcap of Kahlua
it's like a coffee one isn't it
I'm very aware
of what it is
quite like it
just because
you couldn't wait
until Christmas
for a fucking Baileys.
Oh, here we go.
Fucking soup for breakfast
complaining about what fucking season you're drinking.
Yeah.
Well, you can't have Baileys outside of December.
Well, I only had Cluau
because I was out of Baileys
because I drink Baileys on a reg.
I just...
Yeah, mate.
I'm a shit dog, haven't I?
I know you are.
Are you going to pour some of the fucking
Baileys or Kahlua just on your tits and then try and
breastfeed your little dog with it?
And be like, it just creates a bond
between us. Let's him know
that I'm the matriarch of the family.
I produce milk.
Really fucking the devil's milk.
Wait, why is that a term? Why do I know?
Devil's milk. Oh, that's what Cullen calls Baileys. That's it.? Why do I know? The devil's milk.
Oh, that's what Colin calls Bailey's.
Colin calls Bailey's.
That's it.
That's why I know it.
I put a...
Natalie come down from my office on a Tuesday the other day
and I'd put a Bailey's in my coffee.
Obviously, the other day it was weeks ago.
She corrects us on stuff like that, you know what I mean?
She was like, that was at the beginning
of the summer
that's so
conducive to the story
it's so unimportant
so now she listens
so I'm like
oh fuck
I'll get this like
absolutely correct
it wasn't even a Tuesday
it was a Thursday
oh man
there's nothing
what like
as somebody that's good
at telling stories
literally for a fucking
nothing does man
nothing
when people go
it wasn't at three o'clock
it was at half past two
you're like
it doesn't it's not theclock it was at half past 2 you're like it doesn't
it's not the fucking bit
it's so unimportant
it's a minor fucking detail
it's got nothing to do
with the set up
of the fucking punchline
story ruined
even if I did get it out
it's just ruined for me
it's just like
the story's now got a bad
taste in my mouth
as I'm telling it
it just like
it just took a blow
Cara's dead good
because
and this is one of the reasons why I know she loves me
and it'll be the first time that she doesn't love me anymore.
Do you ever have those moments
when you are telling a story
that you've obviously told several times before,
then halfway through telling the story to your loved one,
you can tell they've already heard it?
Yeah.
You've told this story.
The amount of times I'll tell Cara a story
and two minutes I'll be like,
oh, she's giving me that look weird.
She doesn't know I know,
but I know she's heard this.
But because she loves me
and she knows how important it is for me to tell stories.
She's just letting it out.
She just says it.
And she'll laugh at the same bit
and she'll go, that's really interesting.
And it's just as she reads.
You'll only catch on because then she'll she'll like guess a bit
that she couldn't
possibly guess
and you're like
oh I must have told it
yep
yep
there's been other times
when I've been at
like parties
and I'll be telling
a fucking story
because we're all
fucking drinking
and people are just
slowly like
sort of tune out
and then it's just you
the only person that's left
listening to your little story
is your missus and you're like
alright well. Just hanging on to it just to keep
you going, just to keep you motivated.
He needs this, he likes telling stories
it makes him feel good. He's fine tuning
it you know, he's getting it right on me so he can tell
at his parties.
I'm his wet stone. He's giving it a bit
of a shine. They say you can't
polish a turd but I've watched him polish this
one for fucking weeks now.
It's really shiny and he's about to feed it to everybody
that'll listen.
So Natalie came down
midday on a Tuesday
a couple of weeks back, maybe months.
Like can you...
Ballpark, ballpark, like noon
spring. Right.
What was she wearing?
I had poured a little
Baileys into me coffee
and she's just
like
you're just like
a lush housewife
just like
and not like
in the jolly term
of lush
what's the jolly term
for lush
like gorgeous
like lush
you're a foot in lush
mate
you're a foot in lush
you made
because I'm lush
we gash
you're a lush housewife
you're a lush gash
I'd love to push
she wasn't calm
and mush we cock into
sorry
that's alright
I like this
I was missing Linda
Linda
so
she was just saying
I was a lush housewife
just cutting up
cutting up with the sub-abes
sub-abia
what we called it
the last podcast
I bail it in the last podcast.
Bailey's in the afternoon.
Any coffee, though?
Don't.
Instead of milk.
I mean, do you think that would hold up at a court of law?
What do you mean?
Right, I mean. Do you know how I got lit up like a Christmas tree by the fucking jury?
In a court of law once, because of what I was drinking.
What?
No, but when were you in court?
I was in court.
Well, I mean, obviously you were in court.
I don't know what for.
I wasn't.
I was a witness.
But I need you to understand,
I'm not surprised that you were in court.
That makes absolute sense to me.
I was a witness.
Aye.
To your own crime.
Then me brother got glassed.
Aye.
And then...
So me brother got glassed, right? And, so my brother got glassed,
right?
And then I fucking ran home and got a knife.
Oh,
okay.
And ran back to the pub and I couldn't do a lockdown and I couldn't get in the fire door while I was wielding the kitchen knife.
Oh,
don't.
Can we go back to an earlier part in the story,
please?
My knife nearly took a fucking drastic turn for the worst when I was 18.
Right.
Like,
like that would have been fucking bad
if I'd fucking
followed through
on that drunken plan.
Yeah,
to stab someone
who blasted.
To stab somebody
who smashed me
brother in the heat
with a paint glass.
Oh, right.
So you were in a pub.
I had.
Why did the glass gap?
What had he done?
Because we're in a pub
in Blythe.
Oh, right.
Fair enough.
Right.
Shit guns down.
Yeah, next part of the story.
I think, you know, it was a long, long time at Gann, right?
Like, 20 years.
It was more than half my life ago, right?
And we're out with our lasses.
It was me, Gav and Sean, and we're girlfriends at the time, right?
And it was basically just, like, fucking any time any of the girls were separated,
the lads were, like, trying to chat them up or whatever.
And I think, like, they just got Macy because we were with them
aye
so like we didn't start anything
but I've got glassed in the heat
without throwing any punches
without like
we didn't hit anybody
it was fucking glassed
it got dispersed
and you were like
I'm gonna go home
and get a
what kind of knife
it was like a cheese knife
with curls up at the end
how old are you here?
I think I was old enough to drink
Which meant my girlfriend wasn't
She looked older
Oh yeah well
Your honour the court rests
But it was like
It was New Year
And it was the local pub
So mebbies weren't old enough to drink
because we weren't taking any risks of being able to like get home if we didn't get served
kind of and there wasn't like i'm not i don't condone this type of violence but there was no
other near weapon you were like i've got to i know just the knife i know it was i can't use any of
the glasses on the floor here i'm in a pub that serves food there's definitely a knife somewhere
who's supposed to just run the corner
there was this silver tray of knives
that were on the top of the fridge
that you bring over
I'm going to use one of mum's good knives
the sharp ones
you know what I think I've suppressed this memory
because I don't think I've spoke about it this day
I can see why
I don't think I've spoke about it this this day i can see why i don't think i've spoke about this day this went from me having a baileys in the house to like i was trying
to stab a cunt in life sometimes i forget just because of like the steps that you've made in
recent years i'm fucking working class you really are you know when you're fucking like 18 years old
you're angry at life because fucking everything's shit right and you're fucking you're fucking like 18 years old you're angry at life because fucking
everything's shit right and you're fucking you're poor as fuck and like there's no opportunity
and then somebody this is a rhetorical question you're not actually asking me this and you're
trying to make the most of it you know you've got your dolly birds out for a pint on you yeah
and then you see someone fucking smash a pint glass across your brother's fucking scalp.
Something switches in your head, right?
And like, it's fucking, it is bollocks,
because I would probably still be in fucking jail now if I went through with that, right?
I would probably fucking, maybe,
and if I'm out, I'm a different human being to the one that's sat in front of you now.
We certainly wouldn't have a podcast.
Nah, nah.
And I would be a lot less jovial about this story.
Yeah, this story would be coming up on a different podcast,
like some sort of BBC Radio Sounds one,
where it's like we talk to ex-offenders who have come out and are reintegrating into society
about their stories and their crimes.
Aye, but it was like that fucking...
Do you reckon you would have been in prison with Adam Johnson?
You starstruck.
Aye, but it was like that fucking... Do you reckon you would have shared a prison with Adam Johnson?
You starstruck.
Oh, I didn't get the button, mate.
I didn't get the button, mate.
You've got an I like Adam Johnson button.
Now I do too.
Yes!
There it is.
We've got welcome to the I like Adam Johnson podcast.
Imagine we put all of this effort into rebrand and redo the podcast
and we're just like, it's called the I Love Adam Johnson podcast.
It's not called that.
It'll never be called that.
Adam Johnson's a horrible person and may he rot in prison and then hell.
But I was nearly like 10 years into my fucking sentence
giving him my pocket as he come into jail.
Like, oh, come on, new fish. You as he comes into jail like oh come on new fish
you fucking mackerel
come on fucking new fish Adam Johnson you're my bitch now
aye
so anyway fucking
now where would I have had the fucking
bottle of Danny from fucking who knows right
yeah you just had that fucking saw red
but a saw red right and then
fucking anyway like
police turned up
and fucking statements
were taken
and all that
right
just you with a G-snipe
in your back pocket
I'm just like
yeah no
got a stick for the dog
hand behind my back
it's not there
I'm just gonna hit you back
oh this is my back scratcher
it's fucking agony
it's really
like don't we go on it gets the itch it gets in there deep no no it's a different word's really like don't get on it gets the
itch
it gets in
there deep
no no
it's a different
wordplay like
when you say
scratch on your
back I mean
like glasses
when the day
is
scratch marks
do me back
you want to
itch it
you all think
the back itch
has
I'm fucking
I'm getting
this I'm trying
to pick scabs
back there I
reckon there's a
mole and I'm
trying to scratch
this motherfucker
off so that's not what you do with moles by the way no don't try this at home scabs back there. I reckon there's a mole and I'm trying to scratch this motherfucker off.
That's not what you do with moles,
by the way. Don't try this at home.
Don't.
So, like, anyway,
I fucking, Gav ended up taking
Matthew Canning, he was called,
the court. He'll use his name,
whatever. Man, I swear
to God god do you
earlier on
in this episode
you're like
I guess I just don't
respect people's privacy
absolutely you don't
he classed me brother
ages
you tried to stab
the guy
ages ago
alright
I see
so
aye
em we'll all hit the gun pick him from a line up oh aye so aye erm
we'll all
hit the gun
pick him from a
line up
oh aye
and everybody
else got it
he was the one
without a pint glass
he is
that's him
as you can tell
well
he smashed it
didn't he
so
he'll be the one
without it
all those ones
have got it
so he can't be there
yeah
his must be broken
everybody else
picked the right
person all right
except for
bong akai

Oh, I can't believe you.
All right, sorry, continue.
So I fucking write, like time had elapsed like I'm bong eyed but not only that
I've got aphantasia
I cannot hold the fucking
visual image of someone in my head
like the rest of the people
nah this was a condition at the time right
but like I just stood in front of this fucking
glass that I'm guessing they couldn't see
through and just did the dip
because I couldn't fucking tell and just did the dip because I couldn't
fucking tell
I just said
I whatever
wait
I just done the fucking
I didn't know
you didn't even say

no you didn't
you were you were like it's going to be too embarrassing in fact if I don't know one you're a horrible person I thought it was him no you didn't you admitted
that you were like
it's going to be too
embarrassing
if I don't know
who clashed my brother
especially considering
I had a vendetta
against the country
you're like
I am
I mean look
I couldn't
I couldn't
I just
I just took a punt
in the court of law
I just guessed
I thought
Look it's one of them
And we're in Blythe
So even the other four
Have probably done something
They're going to get caught
At some point
Why else did they sign up
For this sort of thing
Hayden in plain sight
If you ask me
Yeah that is a question
Right
People on the line up
This is
Who are the other guys Who are the other guys?
Who are the other guys?
Are they like other...
Because I've never been asked to be on a line-up as an innocent, right?
And I look like other criminals.
I've built a profile.
Do you reckon it's like you're an up-and-coming actor
and you're an agent for a job?
And maybe extra work.
I've got your job.
What is it is it
is it
is it TV
no no
but it's
it's police related
the bill
look at me in the bill
kind of like the bill
yeah kind of
no cameras
but
yeah you kind of look like a guy
that glass someone on New Year's
so
we've got you in as like
a bit of a stunt double
stunt double
what did you say
is that a what
huh
yeah
you may
look look
depending on how absolutely retarded the people are at the other side of the glass,
you may get accused of a crime.
You may get accused of a crime, but maybe he's not.
Probably not.
I'm not actually sure what happens if you do get pointed out.
So you're pointed at an innocent man.
Uh-huh.
And then I'm in the box at court later on.
Oh, the box, laddy-da.
And I had them like opera binoculars.
You know, like the binoculars on a stick.
Aye.
Popsicle-oculars.
Nah, that didn't scan.
But I'm in the box.
And I don't know
what questions
they weren't going to ask us
they didn't fucking
they didn't like
queue you up with the questions
they didn't send you
the script beforehand
they didn't send you
the script beforehand
and all that right
and like
yeah everybody else
might have mentioned
the bit of Buddha's gun
to knock on the fucking
fire door with a knife right
but like I thought
I'd be able to just
exclude that bit
I'm not up for trial here
so they were going like
oh that's funny
you said that
you weren't doing that
because we've got
other testimonies
saying that you have
and I'm like
I should really talk
to me
to my girlfriend
yeah
because we weren't meant
to discuss this in court
so wait
it was brought up in court
that you were
were you hammering
on the door
with a knife
and all that
really
oh fuck
I'm getting asked
all these questions
and you're like, I'm not
the one who trialled. They're like, but there's loads of things.
Aye.
They're like, oh, you picked the wrong guy.
And I was like, why am I just finding out about this new
and you're not going to tell us at the time that I picked the wrong guy?
I thought I nailed it because they didn't respond.
Aye. So anyway,
it's not going well.
I've got to turn this gig around.
I'll bring out some new stuff.
Then they asked a question.
They went,
at the point when,
I'll delete his name out.
No, just don't say it.
Just say Steve.
Oh, stop saying his name.
Steve, right?
At the time when Steve,
Glassy Bro,
like what had you been drinking up until that point? stop saying his name. Steve, right? At the time when Steve glassed your bro-a,
like,
what had you been drinking up until that point?
I didn't know
I was going to ask that, right?
I was just fucking there,
just like laughing
at my hand.
Can I tell them
what I've been drinking?
And I just,
ugh,
I had,
I had fucking
six archers and lemonade.
Oh,
what?
Six archers and lemonade. Oh, what? Six archers and lemonade.
Hold on.
The schnapps.
I'd be drinking schnapps.
The fucking peach schnapps and lemonade.
No, why did he glass your brother?
He was probably fucking aiming for you.
Peach schnapps and lemonade.
That's why I didn't glass him back.
It was just a little cup.
I'd been drinking snaps.
And then they just went, just for the, whatever, like for the record,
like, why are you laughing at that?
And just in a bout of misogyny, I just went, because it's a girl's drink.
I'm so surprised that during this
interview
they were just like
can we also
arrest this guy
like can we just
like double this up
like while
look we save on
petrol
when this guy
who's also clearly
fucking guilty
is on his way to
jail
can we just
send them in the
same car
send them to the
same one
whatever
Adam Jones
can end up.
But it was,
the jury laughed.
They laughed when I said
it was a girl's drink
because it was like early thousands.
It was maybe like 2001
and it wasn't the millennium
so I think it was after that.
It would have been like
the new year, 2001.
You know,
it had been a fucking bad year
for everybody.
You know,
for me and the criminal.
I mean,
both of us criminals,
whatever.
However you want to spin it so I
fucking
he got off
is what I'm trying to say
he got off
with glassing my brother
because of me
oh man
it's absolutely astonishing
that somebody
classed your brother because your brother
had a girlfriend that they fancied
and you
just come out
so much worse like I don't know how
because normally you're the type of person
that falls into shit and comes
out smelling of roses but in this
incident somebody bought you flowers
and you put your thumb in your mouth
and shat your fucking pants
if that's how you want to look at it
I look at it like I had my first gig and got a taste for the crowds
I made the jury laugh
with sex
just explain your first five years of material
and I am a shit out of me soul
being great sexism
you didn't have that
oh man
but Garth got us back
like he got
he got a
he got a bouncer
off the hook
for kicking the shit
out of me
can you mind that
in a nutshell
in a nutshell
this is what happened
right
we've been to the
Bolton game
this is 2012
we've told the story on the podcast we have I'll do it in a nutshell in a nutshell this is what happened right we've been to the Bolton game this is 2012 we've told the story
on the podcast
we have
I'll do it in a nutshell
in and out
you went to a pub
afterwards
one of your friends
was passed out there
but just passed out
at the table
Dorman took Umbridge to it
tried to throw you out
you end up in a big
massive fight
where you end up
so he tried to throw
Brucey out
Brucey was asleep
didn't know where he was
and I was just like
I was pretty sentient.
I just went,
two minutes mate,
we've got a taxi booked.
It's coming to pick me up
any minute.
I'll look after him.
And then he turned around
and started chucking me out
like hands on,
chucking me out.
And I didn't think
he realised this
when he was chucking us out
but the bar was,
consisted only of my friends.
I was out with about 12 people,
right?
And it became a fucking western because he
he was throwing me out and i put my hands on the door frame and he was trying to wrench us off the
door frame and then he started punching us in the back of the heed i ended up like headlocking with
this guy i need him in the face at one point and fucking put one of his t-suit this doorman right
and we're fucking ended up like all the other doormen come in and bat at me pals and we get
fucking ragdolled doing the fucking back it's just one where they basically put you down
and tried to curb stop you to death
so
that was one event
I was just getting
kicked out of the pub
the second event
was
we've collected our forts
we've dusted our sardine
we've like
no one's got anything broken
but we're like
bust up a little bit right
and eh
the next thing you know
I'll the fucking Dormin
from the area
come round
and make a circle around us.
Like a fucking dog fight.
Aye.
Turn you into soggy biscuit.
This guy with a fucking bloody mouth and his shirt tail hanging out and all that just come and kicked the fuck out of me.
Aye.
Like kicking us in the face and all that.
I'd been in a tumble dryer.
You know what, right?
So I went to the jury.
I didn't go to the jury.
I'm fucking obsessed.
I went there.
Police with a solicitor.
They got through everything that's happened, right?
And they were like, we've got the footage and the show does the footage.
And I watched myself get kicked the fuck, right?
And I watched myself just bounce straight back up to my feet.
I was so proud.
And then they were like, this is a revenge attack.
Whatever happened in the bar, whatever blame you've got in the bar,
his jurisdiction's fucked.
Aye.
Because you're over the road and you're getting attacked on a separate occasion.
The guy's done, right?
But he's saying his colleague will drop the charges on your brother
if you drop the charges on him.
Like, it's this fucking truce kind of fucking thing, right?
Just by the fact
that your one
was a murder
attempt on you
I was like
what was me
brother's thing
right
and me brother
in 2012
I don't know
if you've
fucking seen
what he looked
like then
but he was
on fucking
steads
he was
fucking
70 stone
he was an
Adonis
a literal
Adonis
massive
right
he chucked
one of the
doorman
out of his own bar
and said,
don't come back, you're bored.
And it was written down as the
statement from the doorman
that got thrown out of his own bar.
And they were like, well, if you drop
the charges on this guy, he'll drop the charges on
your brother.
I own one.
Find out that your fucking brother was drinking Baileys and ice cream. brother aye I owe him one I found out
that your fucking
brother was drinking
Baileys and ice cream
aye
why are you laughing
Gavin
it's just
it's a Christmas drink
innit
jury laugh
oh dear me
aye
I've never been in a fight
nah
nah never once
not even once I have you were like you were in a fight nah nah never once not even once
I have
you were like
you were in a fight
that I took away from you
that time in Edinburgh
yeah but
at no point
did I participate in that fight
I just got headbutted
nah you headbutted you
aye
it's funny
aye
before I joined in
I just like
finished me popcorn
a little watch
I do hope he's dead
aye probably fingers crossed aye he looked like he would have been high risk during the pandemic me popcorn. A little watch. I do hope he's dead.
Probably.
Fingers crossed.
He looked like he would have been high risk during the pandemic.
Just a big, ugly ginger cunt.
I mean, I knew why he was angry.
I'd be angry if I looked like that.
There's no way I was the first person to point out that he wasn't attractive.
It was probably a trigger point for him.
That's probably why he headbutted me.
But he was. He was homophobic me but he was he was homophobic
in my defence
he was homophobic
in your defence
he was
in your defence
he was homophobic
yes I bet
yeah
I
called us gay
and then
I gave him a lecture
on how I wouldn't mind
if I was gay
and that I'd rather be gay
than spend a second
looking like him
and
I don't think he appreciated
the lecture
no so he headbutted me and then my boyfriend beating him up yeah your boyfriend and that I'd rather be gay than spend a second looking like him and I don't think he appreciated the lecture nah
so he had blacked me
and then my boyfriend
beating him up
yeah your boyfriend
joined in
like you made
even though I was
walking alongside you
and you were with
Biebs
you were both dressed
nice and smart
and Frazz
Fraser was there
as well wasn't he
he had no reason
to believe that I was
with you
no you did not look
like Natalie hadn't dressed you at No, you did not look like...
Natalie hadn't dressed you at this point.
You were still very much dressing yourself.
That's true.
I mean, what?
I defend that completely.
Now, I don't know if everyone knows this,
but obviously we've just announced the America tour,
which is hopefully going ahead.
Now, I don't know
how many American
listeners we have
but I imagine
it's more
than 300
but less
than a thousand
so you can buy
tickets
to the fucking
shows now
and I am going
to read them out
I'm just gonna
mainly for myself
and anybody who
sees this at live
shows you know
you're gonna get
special attention
off if you're wearing
any of the Slotts and Humphreys merch.
I might blank you
if you're wearing Team Cream,
but I don't think that'll affect
your life any.
At that point,
you've made your decision.
Oh,
let's do some other shows.
Gibraltar,
that's not sold out yet.
So if we have any listeners
in Gibraltar.
Also,

that we're doing

so many people have messaged on Instagram
and stuff
since the two our dates have went out like oh shit i'm seeing you in boston i'm seeing you
here i'm seeing you there and it's like fucking yes right but there's so part there's such a big
part of us that's just been let down by everything that's been exciting like everything like the
bali trip altitude getting postponed a couple of times like fucking everything that's been like
even this portugal trip that we're going on was meant to be the girls coming and then because of double vaccination to can't
and like there's been so many things that i'm just fucking i'll not believe it until i'm there
all right um but what i mean we're doing everything in our power to make it happen
all right and to the people uh we were meant to be doing a show in florida but obviously florida
you've got you know your own opinions on uh And I, fine, think what you want to think.
Personally, I'm not able to.
Like, I can't get sick.
I can't cancel this tour.
Like, daddy needs the fucking money and I just can't take the fucking risk.
It was my choice, by the way.
We tried to work out with the venue, but we just couldn't get it done.
But we are potentially looking into adding a Florida show.
I will keep you updated on that.
And we've got one show left in the fringe.
I said that, Festival Theatre, 27th.
Yeah, 27th.
And on that day,
I'm going to be doing new material

But we'll put it on a link on a stream so anybody that's on TR2 or higher I'll get like a free link to the stream
just copy and have a word basically that's the plan is that what they're doing exactly
actually Adam helped us out a little bit with the structure of it it's very um very knowledgeable
with progressing podcasts and And altruistic.
He's not precious about it.
He doesn't mind.
It's just his whole... I've really respected his whole thing.
I've just been like,
well, I want everyone else to have a podcast
that's successful because it benefits us all
if all of our podcasts are successful.
Yeah, and he's like,
if people guest on each other's podcast
and it sells a few tickets for your tour shows,
it's great for live comedy.
Aye.
It's very nice of him.
Yes.
So now when we're talking about your dad,
it's some of the listeners who have adopted Winhouse
your dad knows 500 different slurs
for Eskimos
name three
Eskimos is one of them I think
oh is it
or is that just one
of the fucking headlines
one fucking lefty made one stupid fucking comment.
It was turned into a fucking headline.
And then the right were like, you motherfuckers, look how insane you are.
I love making fun of that type of format.
You know, when you go, ladies and gentlemen, and boisterous men who just don't know their own size.
I want to be inclusive, okay?
Your dad's got cauliflower ideas
from getting his head stuck in a jar of honey like
Winnie the Pooh. And by Winnie the Pooh, I meant
he just had a t-shirt on and no trousers.
Your dad's audition
for Gogglebox was him booing players
taking the knee.
It's just not right!
It's just not right! My dad didn't die for this
Keep politics out of football
Your dad says you've got his penis
Well that's what he stipulated on his donut card
Your dad phoned off Colin to complain about discrimination
After Blue Peter wouldn't read out his letter
Last time I saw your dad he was being chased out to the
butchers with his string of sausages and these teeth.
Your dad fancies Shrek.
Princess Fiona we call him.
I said your dad's name in the mirror
five times and eventually he took the
rolled up note out of my hand and had his line.
Your dad's drafted Emiliano Sala
in his fantasy football
team this season
oh way there
I know it's a terrible
decision
I don't know how
he fucked it up
so much
Kev watch the news
man
he had one of the
red marks
next to his name
like
100%
not playing
when your dad
yawns
he waves his arms
like one of those
inflatable air dancers
at a car dealership
alright
that's the podcast
fuck off
and em
look
keep checking in on YouTube.
I'll mention it on Patreon and socials,
but we might have a video to go with this one.
It'll be a bit later.
Sweet.
But aye.
If you've listened to it new,
I mean, just wasting your time
because you've already heard it.
Aye.
But now you can see it in 4K.
Now you can see how utterly ashamed I look
when I'm admitting I nearly stabbed someone when I was 18.
With a fucking cheese knife.
It wasn't a cheese knife.
No?
No.
I just use it for cheese.
Stop the podcast.
