It's an Amsterdam episode, but not as you know it.
We start off sober.
We then stop the podcast and have a spliff.
And then I'm not sure what happened.
You're going to have to find out for yourself.
Sloss and Humphries on the road.
Muggins and cream, cream and muggins.
Straight thuggin', livin' the dream.
That's our intro.
Fuckin' muggles.
Ticklin' the clit inside your head that makes you laugh.
They said it can't be done are we in the same seats
that's hack
oh muggles
accidental rim job
in the park
kiss kiss kiss
or might just be cynical
just muggled it up
on fucking mugglepedia
where have you been
since 9-11
oh right
we're back
do we owe them an apology
do we owe them a you're welcome
no there was the
it's only these people that will be due the
apology the Thursday podcast
listeners the Patreon ones that got the
super high episode
like they already subscribed to this
do you know what happened as well you know how
they're the type of episodes that
lose us followers because we're incoherent.
It's just like eavesdropping on people who have in-jokes.
It's not for everybody, and it's understandable.
Normally that's what loses people, but weirdly this time,
we lost followers before the episode, like they knew it was coming.
Oh, there was just...
Like, you know when there's a natural disaster coming,
and there's just loads of fauna Rats and squirrels and stuff
Just like coming out the trees
They smelt it
Did you just call all of our Patreon subscribers rats?
No, no, no
Well, I think you did
No, no, no, I think you'll find I called the ones that left
Rats, oh that's fair
The ones that left us were rats
Cowards
Aye
But yeah, that was a fun episode
So this is the Amsterdam episode
We were meant to do one last night
But then we didn't
Because we were
Too stoned and tired
And it's like an extra
Like you can't do
You can't start a podcast
At one in the morning
Because then you're not done
Until like fucking half two
Yeah so
And we had to go get
Our 9000th fucking PCR test
Oh my god
Like travelling now is just...
There's so much bureaucracy.
Aye.
I can understand that we're very, very lucky
to be getting to travel to the places that we do.
And I'm fucking grateful.
But I am going to tell you, it's a fucking bollock.
Aye, just wait.
If you're thinking of travelling, just fucking wait.
Or just go to a country that doesn't care.
Aye. Like, me and Gareth are off to Greece next week and they of travelling, just fucking wait. Or just go to a country that doesn't care. Like me and Cara are off to Greece next week
and they couldn't give a fucking shit.
Is that right?
They're like, just bring a note from your mum
that says you don't have the sniffles
and you can come straight in.
Come in holding your nose
and we'll just trust that you'll do that for the entire trip
and you're not going to spread it anywhere.
We'll be absolutely fucking fine. Whereas
other places a bit much.
So them forms that you've got to fill in
online, they're just so shit.
They've not tested them once.
You know the passenger locator form?
At no point before they released
it as a program
were they like, let's run through this.
Let's have a customer experience
Aye
And see what it's like
As a punter
Aye
Punter
Do you call yourself a punter
If you're travelling
Probably not
No not
Not even remotely
Do you suggest
Not look at the customers
As punters
No I don't think
They even look at us
As people
I think
Maybe they should
Start like
Looking at the customers
As punters
Because punters
Are people that
Like are to be entertained
Like you know You'd be a Would you be a punter At a football punters are people that are to be entertained.
Like, you know,
would you be a punter at a football match?
Yes.
Because you're about to be entertained.
You'd be a punter at a rock gig,
at a comedy gig to be entertained.
Whereas when you're going on your holiday,
why is that person not to be entertained?
They're literally spending everything they've saved up on to go and have an experience.
No, they haven't spent everything.
They went easy jet.
Like, that's... Like, easy went easy jet like that's like you
easy jet ryanair that's on you like you know what the customer experience is like you went for the
cheap holiday welcome to the cheap experience it's such a shame though because manas cost nothing
so no they do no no they know they do i can tell you the price of manners and it's the difference
between a British Airways flight
and an EasyJet flight.
That's the price of manners.
So it's about three or four hundred quid
is the price of manners.
Unless you are anywhere in Spain.
I've got this theory that...
I fucking hate the Spanish.
There's my theory.
I hate the Spanish.
You come up with a theory that the
the British expats
are as bad as they are
because the Spanish locals
are as bad as they are
vice versa
it's like a cyclic
yes
I think
what happened
it's like two groups of people
that have zero chemistry together
making each other worse
yeah
and it's like a little
fucking engine of shite
it's like if you got two magnets
and you put them into
and they were just
the theory of them
spinning around
because they're constantly
repelling each other.
British expats are the worst in the world.
And that's across the board.
Like, we're unforgivably shit
when we go and live overseas.
In second place is the Aussies,
but it's us first
by a substantial fucking bit.
So our expats...
I don't feel like we send out what's best.
No, of course we don't.
Like, what front line of expats
is not like the cream of the crop, is it?
No, no.
None of them are good.
So we send our expats out
and they go to these places
and they go,
you can't get a decent fucking burger here.
This is fucking shit.
And they learn nothing.
They don't embrace the culture.
They don't learn the fucking language.
And what happens is,
because Spain is the easiest one to get to,
they go there and it's hot
and they're very rude to the fucking locals.
And what the locals do is they go,
oh, I hate British people.
And they're allowed to arrive at that conclusion.
Because it's not like they've only met six British people
and they were all shit.
They've met 100,000 British people.
A decent sample size.
And every last one of them
was a rat fucking bastard.
Was a horrible,
drinky,
shouty,
racist,
rapist,
cunt.
Every last one of them
across the fucking board.
Right?
And then the Spanish just go,
right,
I'm going to be horrible
to every single British person
in the entire world.
And then we come over
because we're like
working there
and we're just,
we're here to just perform to the locals. Aye. And we get the entire world. And then we come over because we're like working there and we're just we're here to just
perform to the locals
and we get the same
treatment.
And the worst gigs we
ever do the worst gigs
we ever ever have when
we're overseas is once
to expats.
If we're like the way
I know if it's going to
be a good gig right
when you turn up you're
like where are we right
we're in Lisbon.
Would you reckon the
percentage of expats is
going to be 2%?
It's going to be a
great gig.
Yeah it's it weirdly
it's nice to have expats in
if they're the vast majority,
vast minority
in the crowd.
It's nice to have that.
But if the,
if expats make up the audience
like they've done before
in Switzerland,
like my first trip to France,
they hate their life decisions,
weirdly.
Like they are not,
they always hate the country
that they're in.
Yep.
They always hate the job, always hate the job that they're in yep they always hit the job always hit the job that they're in they always seem to be like resenting the life
that they never lived yeah they also seem to also pretend that they do like it in a way
yeah they're just they're just there because like on all these countries there are less strict rules
on fucking 15 year old girls that's the only fucking reason 90 of the fucking men are there right and
their wives know it that's it that's it let's go fuck some european teenagers that's all they're
after i love that um for you just now expats have went from annoying to rapists to pedophiles
they are they've ruined the Spanish for me because now I sincerely
hate the Spanish
I hate them guy
every single time
I go to fucking Spain
I get treated like a British person
and that's fair
that's fair
because I am
but I'm not like
the fucking rest of them
right
and I understand
do you feel profiled
I am profiled
and it's
or
well I mean
I don't know if they're just lazy
across the board
and this is the level of racism I don't mind if they're just lazy across the board well this is
a level of racism i don't mind engaging and by the way like i know we've got gigs coming up in
madrid and i will say this to their fucking faces i think your afternoon naps are ridiculous and i
think your customer service is the worst in the fucking world how can the customer service ever
be good if they've always just woken up i'm shit when i've just woken up they're napping all the
time willy-nilly no i crossed the
board we went we literally because we had to go pick up merlina fucking uh wheelchair uh because
she likes to pretend to be crippled in airports and uh there were six members of staff all doing
absolutely nothing apart from talking to each other yeah just six on the other side of the desk
all talking to each other no queue no one anywhere side of the desk, all talking to each other.
No queue, no one anywhere.
And we stood there.
Some of them weren't even engaged in the conversation.
Like two of them were chatting, one of them was listening
and three of them were like kind of twiddling their thumbs.
And like we were quite obviously waiting to be served.
Yeah, because there was no queue.
And I started counting them.
Like one, two, three, four, five, six.
Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco. Oh, it's not cinco, cinco. I started counting them Like One two Three four Five six Uno dos tres
Cuatro cinco
Oh it's not cinco
Cinco
Oh no
The song ruined it for me
I love as well
How Marley
Does walk with a stick
She's had a knee operation
She's had several knee operations
But she develops
Cerebral palsy
In an airport
It's just
You get taken through quicker
And she likes to
Hammer up Yep It was funny At the Because that's what Like it's just you get taken through quicker and she likes to hammer up
yep
it's funny
because that's
what it's a
physical disability
she has
yet
she somehow
seemed to be
laying on a
mental disability
at the
at the
fucking
line
can't think of my words
customs
aye
security
border security
but fucking security cuts as well.
Look, again, again, look,
I understand how annoying it must be
for thousands and thousands and thousands of British people
to come to your country
and not even for one single second
even attempt to speak the fucking language, right?
It's one of the many, many reasons
that I fucking hate British expats.
There's not even like the base,
like, oh, can you take me here?
Thank you.
Please.
All the things.
Or not even,
just always learn,
I'm sorry I don't speak the language or do you speak English
in whatever country you're going to
because it always endears you to them.
Like, hi, I'm sorry.
I'm a stupid Brit.
Could you please speak English?
But at least I've done this much.
Yeah.
Learn that in Spanish.
Learn that in French.
Learn that in fucking French.
Pardonnez-moi,
je suis écossais,
mon français est très merde.
And now in Mandarin?
Parlez-vous anglais?
No,
no,
not even,
not even for a joke.
Not even for a fucking bit of banter.
But,
if you,
I don't know,
let's say working in international airports where lots of people
come through and let's get i understand spanish is like what the second biggest language in the
world because of it's pretty big because there's a lot of south america yeah yeah yeah so fair
point like you've got you've got like it's not like the french when they're like i'm not speaking
english motherfucker you're fucking speaking english i tell you that right now that's what
you're doing right right it's you in canada and and and then a bunch of the other isles you used to own calm down it's not you it's Spanish you've
got point Portuguese you're not you're not like to stand on I know Brazil but shut up oh Portugal
Portugal have got territory like they do but again Portuguese the Portuguese language
is that is that do you think that's more widely spoken than French yes yeah Portuguese I don't know Canada's pretty fucking big but then again it's only little bits of Canada that's more widely spoken than French? Yes, Portuguese I don't know, Canada's pretty fucking big
but then again it's only little bits of Canada
that's spoken a little bit, it's entire cities and provinces
but
I just don't respect the French
so
my point is with this fucking Spanish
if you work at a fucking airport
it's safe to assume that you're going to be encountering people that speak English
If you work in Malaga airport
it's so hot on british tourism hi and you can't act surprised if somebody doesn't speak
spanish so we're just going in and the guy's like the guy's literally and he's just not trying he's
very clear about english we've been speaking english the entire time and we're like sorry
we're late we have to push this woman in a fucking wheelchair who's lost a ticket lost her ticket and
i went away and found it and then she found it and we have this push this woman in a fucking wheelchair. Who's lost her ticket. Who's lost her ticket. And I went away and found it. And then she found it.
And we have this entire conversation in English.
And they understand it.
And I come there.
And he just keeps pointing at shit.
No, no, no.
Not pointing.
He has full on Spanish sentences towards me.
I'm like, man, you know I don't know what you're saying.
Point.
Point.
I'm not saying learn the English words.
But tell me what you want to do.
Point to my laptop.
Is it your laptop?
And then point to the fucking box.
Is it your toiletries?
Is it my fucking bell? What is it, cunt? What to the fucking box is it a toilet race is it my fucking bell
what is it
what's the fucking problem
do you need me to take my watch off
like there's gestures
you could use
to get the message across
but he was just like
here's a fucking gesture
for you to get across
you fucking Spanish twat
I hate them
I hate them Kai
but this is the thing
it was only that difficult for us
because they hate us
they know they could have made it easier
in the Spanish that he was
speaking to you was probably just like you fucking arsehole that's it that's the english that's
the english i was speaking back to him man like i was not being subtle with my fucking disdain
he had he had three fucking minutes to be like treat me like a human being and i was like right
if if you're not treating me like a person i'm not treating like you one and i guarantee you
i'll do a better fucking job
I've spent way more
of my life
looking down my nose
at people cunt
oh no
no I haven't
you're Spanish
yeah I saw a bit
where he was speaking
to you in Spanish
and you were just
going to him
what's the game
what is the game
that we're playing
are we just guessing
what each other are saying
what the fuck do you want me to do
what do you want
alright
so through here
I'm like fucking explain
oh oh oh
also Gibraltar is a perfect example of why i fucking hate british expats
every single person in that audience that was that audience that had come from
spain through the borders to gibraltar was lovely the heckly rude motherfuckers in the front row
guess where they fucking came from
guess who ruined
the gig
in another country
like somewhere like
Leeds
Liverpool
Liverpool was it
the fuck
well to be fair
he wasn't bad
but it was all
they just
oh I hate expats
if you live
in the UK
please come see us live
if you live in America
and you're American
please come see us live
if you are British
and you live anywhere outside of Britain please never ever come come see us live if you live in America and you're American please come see us live if you are British and you live anywhere outside of Britain please never ever come and see us
never come and see us I'm not I know it's not I'm not fucking interested I'm not interested in your
attendance right if you want to come see us come back come back to the UK set in a British audience
where you'll get fucking slapped across the back of the head for acting the way you're fucking acting
I think just
come to the gig
but just know that
it's not about you
this gig
the gig's about
the place that we are
I think
I think
we're letting
a couple of bad apples
spoil the bunch
nah
disagree
I reckon
all them five gigs
in Lisbon
I reckon there was
expats in there
that just enjoyed the show quietly
and let you talk to the Portuguese.
And then one person in Gibraltar shouts out.
It wasn't one person,
it was 17 people in Gibraltar.
I enjoyed that gig.
I thought it was fucking...
This is the thing with that gig.
I can see why you were bristly about it
because you couldn't have done
any of your previous shows there.
You couldn't have done the show where your sister died. You couldn't have done X. you couldn't have done any of your previous shows there you couldn't have
done the show
where your sister
died
you couldn't have
done X
you couldn't have
done anything
that was poignant
because they were
a bit too feral
but for me
just doing like
20 minutes of
warm up
that's an energy
you can harness
and you can get
more out of that
energy than you
regularly could
but attention span
wise is less
it felt like a
club gig they weren't comedy savvy they
were not a fucking but because let's talk about it being also i want to point out with 15 minutes
in the amsterdam podcast and you're like why are these two not high um what we're gonna do this in
two halves all right and also this is an indica because we smoked all this yesterday so so we've
got one indica spliff left so we're going to be actually stone stoned.
Aye.
To anybody that doesn't know, sativa is the one that makes you chatty and happy and laughy.
And indica is the one that makes you stoned and mellow and chilled out.
And the way to remember it is indica, indicauch.
Indicauch.
Because that's what it puts you.
It's going to be indicauch.
Because that's where it puts you.
I'm going to be into culture.
So we decided because of the fucking brain vomit of a podcast that we'll put up on Thursday,
we'll do half of this.
Compass Mentis.
Not half.
20 minutes of this sober. I bet you didn't know I knew Latin.
20 minutes of this sober.
And then we'll go and fucking smoke a spliff.
And then we'll come back in.
And we'll talk about how much we actually like the Dutch.
Yes.
Because they're very efficient.
Uh-huh.
And they know what they're doing.
Portugal, you were good.
I'll give you that.
I've got nothing.
I don't have anything.
I think I used to have bias
towards the Portuguese.
It was because Spanish,
it was because you hate,
you basically done that thing
that if anybody hates the Scottish
because they're British
because of the association
with the English.
Aye.
You did that with Portugal.
You just threw them in with the Spanish. I just assumed
it was, and you know what, you're right.
Portugal, I do owe you an apology. You're not the Spanish.
You're not the Spanish. You're actually
very nice and
very friendly. And you do get annoyed
by us and you're allowed to be annoyed by us
because we're horrible Brits and we're very
rude and loud, but you sort of
you kind of accept that's the way we are.
And, and.
But don't hate all of us just by the us that are at the Algarve.
That's not us.
But the Portuguese in Lisbon,
they were very much like, they made their decision.
They were like, all right,
you seem to be an all right British person.
So I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt.
And that's all I need.
All I need is the benefit of the doubt and that's all i need all i need is the benefit of the doubt
i'm like you dirty rat bastards spanish and just because your history is slightly
fucking interesting right you've got the fucking god to treat me like that go fuck yourselves
oh by the way we've got two shows in madrid coming up
please none of the expats come or any of the spanish yeah
yeah yeah in fact
could all the portuguese drive over the border no i love as well that i was going and please
don't judge us based on the the expats at the algarve last time i was in the algarve did i
not get into a fight you did i was scrapped i was scrapping an albifer. Let's talk about Gibraltar for a second.
We climbed a mountain in a bus and it was like one of them
like one lane traffic,
no ridge mountain trails
all the way up the rock at Gibraltar.
On the right hand side
is the rest of the mountain
and on the other side is death.
And beautiful sights as well
because it looks right out into the sea.
Being on a peninsula and all.
And then we'll climb up the mountain.
There's monkeys,
which we're told it was going to be.
They were bigger than I thought.
The monkeys on the mountain.
They're not called Mackeys
or something like that?
Barbarian monkeys or something?
No.
Barbara?
Barbara monkeys?
There's a big difference
between a barbarian and a Barbara.
It's usually about 50 years.
I don't get it.
And just because a barbarian would be quite young, athlete and a barbara would be like a granny
oh i see although that is massively wrong because chronologically the barbarians would have been
around that's thousands of years before i was going more off the age of them you know why the
way the word barbarian comes from barbara it, bar, bar, bar, bar. Mm-hmm. It's to explain.
That is how we sounded to people that didn't speak our language.
Aye.
I'm saying we as in we're the barbarians.
Were we the barbarians?
Well, no, no.
It was the Romans and they were talking about the...
Well, I mean, yeah, they were talking about the Picts,
but they were mainly talking about whoever the fucking Germans were at that time.
Obviously, they weren't Germans back then
it was the
how's this going
at me fucking head
history doesn't stick
with me
I read a lot of it
I read a lot of it
and Gauls
the Gauls
no it was the French
they were French
I was thinking that before
because you were like
the Gaul of Spanish
and I was like
ooh is that a pun
and then I was like
no Gaul's French
and then I just kept quiet
and then brought it back up now.
Okay.
So there's monkeys,
which I've just called
barbarian monkeys
because I'm sure
somebody called them that
on the Instagram conversation
with somebody else.
We should look it up.
No,
let's not.
So there's monkeys
and we'll get to the top
of the mountain
and then we'll kind of like delve into the mountain
and start going down this like kind of tunnel.
That looked very man-made, you know, it had like barriers and stuff.
And then the tunnel started looking less man-made and just become a cave.
Yep.
And just become this massive cave with like stalactites coming down,
stalagmites coming up, pillars.
So, you know, stalactites, is that where water's dripping
and leaving sediment on over the years?
So then it builds up from the top.
And then the bottom one is the stalagmite,
which is from where it lands.
The sediment builds up.
So then big pillars, are they just stalactites
and stalagmites that have met, got married,
lived happily ever after?
Aye, yes.
That's what they are?
Yeah, but became two, became happily ever after. Aye, yes. That's what they are.
Became two, became one.
Ah.
And, um... Because there was, like, in the middle of the theatre,
there was, like, a conveniently good pillar
that looked like the structural integrity of the room
was based on it.
And I was like, but that isn't man-made.
Did, like, did nature just get in, right?
We need to prop up the roof here.
This is going to fall through.
The stalactite needs... but that's where the water's
coming through the most
aye
but also
all the
all the
all the caves
where the pillars
didn't get formed
are collapsed and gone
like it's
like the reason we saw this one
is because of that
is because nature found a way
aye aye
it's like the
you just did the very very
religious thing of like
it's a miracle
look how well designed this thing is
God must have done it
the only reason this one's here
is because it's this
and you've missed the thousands of ones that have failed around it
that's what I do with
with fiction
with any story
where I'm like well that's a bit far fetched
and I'll go that's why it's a story
yes aye this is why it's noteworthy.
Yeah, if it was just like a mundane,
this is probably likely to happen book,
you're going to put it down pretty quick.
Aye.
Speaking of books,
to the four people that listen to this podcast
and take my book recommendations,
and I'm speaking specifically to you, Sid and Rini.
Is this the one I've just started listening to?
Actually I've just started reading this one
Project Hail Mary
is just a very good book, it's the same guy that wrote
The Martian. I like him, I read Artemis as well
I've not read that one
The one I'm reading is another
it's not a trilogy, I think it's like four or five of them
but only the fourth one's out now, but he's one of those
good ones where it's
he's got a good consistency of bringing the books every fucking year like he's another Scott, but he's one of those good ones where it's, he's got a good consistency
of bringing the books
every fucking year.
Like he's another Scott Lynch,
he's another Brandon Sanderson.
This guy,
so it's called Red Rising
and I won't give it
anything away.
It's just very, very good
if you're into fucking fantasy
nerd shit.
It's a bit different
from the other stuff
I've recommended.
A bit more sci-fi
than the previous
Swords and Shields.
Yeah,
like imagine,
it's Romans in the future,
kind of.
Also,
me and my brother Matthew
came up with a good law
that we want to implement
in the world.
I can't remember
if I brought it up
on this podcast.
But obviously,
George R. Martin
is a wanker
and I hate him.
Yeah.
Yeah,
he led everybody on.
He blue-balled us all.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's not written a new book in 17 years
and he complains about getting death threats.
And it's like, motherfucker, at this point,
you get them and that's your life.
Like, I've got no sympathy for you.
I've committed hundreds of hours to that story.
That's not going to get completed.
You've written seven other books
not about the thing I want.
Fuck you.
Fuck my head, Sned.
Every single death threat you get,
I've got no sympathy.
I hope they come in droves
fuck it
legally obviously no, don't send them death threats
etc etc, that's all a joke
but the rule I actually
want to implement is Brandon Sanderson
the silly little Mormon
has such a fucking turnover of books
right, man he will write a book a year
and here's a rule
I know there's other fantasy writers out there
because Patrick Rothfuss who I love he will write a book a year and here's a rule and this I know there's other fantasy writers out there because
Patrick Rothfuss
who I love
and I'm giving him time
it's been a while
since the last book
but it's
I trust him
it's not been
they're big books
they're big books
and it's like
this next one's the last one
and he wants to perfect it
and he's such a good writer
that I'm willing to give him
the time
in the books we're talking about
aww
a wise man's fear
and name of the wind
aye but for all other fantasy writers that are fucking struggling willing to give him the time. In the books we're talking about aww, name of the wind.
But for all other fantasy writers that are fucking struggling, there needs to be
a Brandon Sanderson clause.
Which is, if you haven't
written a book
in five years,
Brandon Sanderson gets to write your book.
In the same way that when Robert
Jordan died, Brandon Sanderson finished
the Wheel of Time series.
Yeah.
And he did it well.
He read all the books.
He was a fan.
Anyone that's read Wheel of Time will tell you
that they were very happy.
So Game of Thrones needs to be finished by Brandon Sanderson now.
George R. R. Martin had his chance.
He had his fucking chance to finish the books.
And now he's lost.
After five years, you revoke your rights to your own fucking book.
And Brandon Sanderson, and only Brandon Sanderson,
other people don't get to do it.
But after five years, since the last release of your book,
if you've not fucking finished it,
Brandon Sanderson gets to write it.
And you can still write yours,
and you can still sell it as yours,
but he gets to make all the fucking money
because he's got a work ethic.
You fat bearded cunt.
So is that Brandon Sanderson rule,
it's not like the Bosman rule,
where obviously the Bosman rule was designed because of the man Bosman. I have's not like the Bosman rule, where obviously the Bosman rule was designed
because of the man Bosman.
I have no idea what the Bosman rule is.
It's a transfer rule that was named after a person
because he was the first person.
I don't know if it's something to do with free transfer
and out of contract.
I don't know it fully.
But anybody that moves on that clause
is moving on the Bosman rule.
So you're saying the Brandon Sanderson rule
isn't one where somebody else can finish your book you're saying the Brandon Sanderson rule isn't one where somebody else can finish
your book and that's the Brandon Sanderson rule.
It has to actually be him.
It's got to be Brandon Sanderson, yes.
Brandon Sanderson, it's not...
He's the only one that can do it
and well, and we know he can.
He's proven that. Wheel of Time was ended superbly.
We know this man respects
fantasy, can write it well.
Can emulate the previous
absolutely
something that
George R.R. Martin
is incapable of
and again
Patrick Rothfuss
if you're watching this
for whatever reason
it's not
I love you man
I love you
I'm a big fan
please don't
I'm not one of the fans
that's yelling at you
to hurry up
I do want you to hurry up
but I'm not saying it
I'm not saying it
I respect
we're rooting for you
but look
Brandon Sanderson's
in the wings
and we're going to
have to sub you off
in a minute son no again Patrick you're the exemption to the rules just because I'm such I respect We're rooting for you brother We're rooting for you But look Brandon Sanderson's in the wings And we're going to have to Sub you off in a minute son
He's going to
No you
Again Patrick
You're the exemption to the rules
Just because I'm such a big fan
Of all of you
But Brandon would do it well
But you Scott Lynch
Give me my next Locke Lamora
You fucking wanker
Give me it
Give me it right now
You don't want to rush it
Because you said he rushed the third one
Oh he did didn't he
Fuck
I've only
I've still only read the first one of that.
It's also really, really annoying
that all the best fantasy writers,
apart from Brandon Sanderson,
have depression.
Like, it just really affects their fucking writing
because you're like,
because depression's like a real legit reason
to not write a book.
Like, I know people,
you don't have it, George R. Martin,
you're a fucking liar.
But it's like a real,
like, I'm not in the headspace.
Like, I'm meant to be writing a story about fucking hope
or fucking
revenge and all these things and I'm just
ugh, I get it
Did you tell me that
Brandon Sanderson is deeply religious
and there's loads of parallels between
his books and
the stories of the Bible
Well it's just all very Jesus-y but then again now that I've read more fantasy between his books and the stories of the Bible?
Well, it's just all very Jesus-y.
But then again, now that I've read more fantasy books,
I mean, all books are Jesus-y.
Every single fantasy book has to follow the sort of same thing of there's a person who's eventually reborn
to become something better than themselves
so that they can lead the fight for humanity
because there's been tyranny and evil before.
Look, I can't remember the name of the fucking theory,
but there's only like four or five stories in the world
and we all just fucking repeat them in different ways.
Versions of it.
Aye.
Is this like when you got into Creed,
not realising they were a Christian rock band?
Aye.
Well, because WWF sold it to me.
Oh, you know how you were saying about the caves
with the accident that made it plausible,
that pillar down the middle,
and then we're like, oh my God, it must be from God,
and you're like, no, because all the other ones collapsed.
You know how you hate that shit?
You're going to hate this.
You know how we're picking up Peggy, the dog,
on my anniversary the 8th of September?
Didn't know that, but sure.
I've told you a million times daniel you never listened uh the actual date of birth because we're like you're
picking up like 12 weeks after they're born the actual date of birth is the 23rd of june which is
what you know when we're done with secret wedding so that we could get the paperwork because the
one in spain doesn't come with the paperwork so it has the ceremony and it's recognised in everybody's eyes but it's not legally
binding. On the 23rd
of June, Peggy's actual
birthday. So obviously
Natalie thinks it's meant to be.
Duh!
Like how else
how else could that fall into place?
How else do you explain two days correlating?
And it's from Humphrey's Pooh
the breeders are called Humphrey's Pooh.
Oh my God.
If you do not believe in fate now.
I fucking hate your wife sometimes.
Like I love her for bringing me this dog
and bringing me this ripe, ripe tree of abuse.
But I just... And see all these other basic bitches that are like why can't you just let us
have it because it's stupid right that's why that's why i can't just let you have your stupid
beliefs because they're fucking stupid and i know some of you do it jokingly but the rest of you
fucking mean it right and you propagate it and you hold it up and you substantiate all this bullshit
aye can i smoke this pliff now? Aye, let's have a spliff.
So...
I'd like to apologise to the Spanish.
I've calmed down a bit.
I chugged your beans a little bit.
Well, thinking about it,
you know how you've always got to bleed the radiator of anger a bit?
You've got to sort of let it out,
and that's when you say all of your irrational,
unthought-through points, just because it's hate or anger, and then you get it out and that's when you say all of your irrational unthought through points just because
it's like hate or anger and then you get it out and then you're like okay now i've got time to
reflect realistically we're just going to the main parts of spain and i'm lumping all of spain
in there i reckon like the coastal parts of it and the more rural parts also you're judging people
based off their like put your headphones on just so you can tell when you're making a noise we are because right for anybody watching the video now you can
see we're just in the couch all right in fact i will i'll just i'll just do my best i'll lean
forward you're just gonna lean forward all right i'll just i'll just remember um so yeah you're
basically you're basing them off the airport security like they are the worst people in the
world i'm basing it off of all of the restaurant staff
and all the bar staff as well
and the taxi drivers and the hotel staff
but I am doing that
that's like people going to London and going
fucking oh they're all cunts
like they're all very fucking rude
and you go alright well yeah but that's London
that's just the way they are there
people move around they're not going to be nice to you
they're all on their way to work.
Like, I would hate if...
I have this theory as well, that if I spoke to anybody,
the way that security at the airport speaks to everybody,
my mother would kick my arse.
Aye.
That's bad parenting.
It's just rude.
It's really bad parenting from airport security staff.
Aye, all of your mums suck.
If your child is airport security staff,
why did you raise them that way? Aye, all of your mums suck. If your child is airport security stuff, why did you
raise them that way? Aye, yeah.
You raised them in a strict enough
environment that they learned about authority
and the power of it,
but they didn't have the
decency to become, or the skills to become
police officers. You as a
parent, you had your own chair, didn't you?
That no one else was allowed to sit on.
Yeah. You couldn't. Aye, that's not? That no one else was allowed to sit on Yeah You couldn't
Aye, that's not on
In my chair
Shut up
Sit somewhere that's available
I'd understand that at a dinner table
But that's just because
That's a nice wee
Head of the table
Not necessarily head of the table
But I like the fact that you all sit in your usual places
And it's a tradition
Yeah, there is that But if it's like it's a tradition so
yeah there is that
but like if it's
well in fact
my mum had a chair
did she
my grand
my grandad Peter
was the fucking
best man alive
but he's not alive anymore
but when he was
he did have his own chair
but like
now that he's dead
now that he's dead
it's up for grabs
it's up for grabs
it's a very exciting time
in any good charity store
any good charity store Any good charity store
No no
Not the chair
I meant the title of
I meant the title of
Best person alive
Now that he's dead
Right
Yeah
It's not been filled yet
I thought you were just saying
Anyone can sit in his chair
No I wasn't auctioning off
Your dead grandad's chair
It's just like the saddest
Most awful
He's been dead for four years
Car's finally over
It's been way more than four years
Isn't it
Yeah 2009 it was And I'm not over it i i don't think you ever do get over death
yeah you just move around it don't you i like i think my mom always said there was a
the japanese had this great half this great analogy and i'm gonna butcher it but it's like
when you when you when you lose someone it it's like somebody's ripped a massive hole in your chest
and you want it to be sort of like there's pain there
and every time you touch it, it hurts.
And if people try to remove it, it would hurt.
But then over time, it gets easier to sort of deal with
and you sort of learn to grow around it.
And if anyone were to take that away from you,
you wouldn't feel yourself anymore
because the grief is part of it now and it's part of you and it's your pain and i thought
he's seen the analogy with the the pain button in the jar yeah in the ball the big then there's a
big ball which is your recent pain and it's always hitting the pain button yeah but the ball always
let's explain it a bit better there's a there's, like a shoe box, and in the box, on a big massive circle button,
and every time that button is hit,
it makes you feel grief.
And there's a ball that's randomly bouncing around.
So when the grief is early on,
the button's big,
so the ball's hitting it a lot of the time,
so you're constantly being reminded of the grief.
But as time goes on,
both the ball and the button get smaller,
so it means it hits the button less, you feel the grief less. time goes on both the ball and the button get smaller so it means
it hits the button less you feel the grief it's all still inside of you but it's still the exact
same amount of pain like the grief actually never diminish diminishes just the frequency of it yeah
i try to like keep him alive in my head where i know his personality very well and I know how he responds to stuff. And I can kind of get his advice posthumously
just from what I know about him.
You can just go, right, take a second,
what advice would he give here?
You'd also know any of your actions
if you did them, what he would think about them.
You'd go, that would be me,
I'd be grounded again
and he wouldn't speak to me
at the fucking weekends i'd still i'd still get that hanging over us like what if what if we
what if we granddad uh heard about this well your granddad pete all right but thankfully
like also r.i.p to granddad harry but less don't really don't really mind what he would have
thought about something i never psychologically go to be grounded harry for advice based on his actions in life oh my god what a disaster my life would be
what a fucking disaster but if look he brought me entertainment in abundance yeah yeah and that's
and that's a nice thing i guess um can we talk talk about the fact that I've got two things I want to bring up?
I've got two things I want to bring up.
I only know one of them, so the other one's going to be a surprise.
We're out there smoking and we're staying right beside Ajax Stadium.
And across, there's like, I'm going to say about five football pitches.
Is it clear that Ajax training ground?
Yes, I think that's where they're training.
And that must be like the youth team or just some of the younger players.
Yeah, like much, like there were tiny kids and they were playing
because we were trying to figure out,
are they just kids that are renting that spot to play football?
Yeah.
Or is it the youth team?
Yeah.
Right, and we're like, let's just watch them for a bit
because if they're class...
Then it's obviously the youth team.
And their positioning was great.
Yeah, they were at an age you would expect everybody to be chasing the ball,
but they had structure, and they were moving it on pretty quick.
And even the team that was in possession,
the other team, they were pressing but not too aggressively.
It was intellectual football.
They were holding position, they were showing for each other.
When they passed the ball, they were moving.
Their heads were up. Yeah, and that's a good thing about football, When they passed the ball, they were moving. Their heads were up.
Yeah.
And that's a good thing about football,
is when you're passing, you've got to keep your head up.
So I'm trying to pass you the fucking joint that we're smoking, right?
And you're just watching the football, and you're like,
yeah, no, they're keeping a good formation.
No, no, this is what I actually said.
I went, ooh, have they got a minimum amount of touches?
Because they're moving the ball around quite a bit.
They're not dribbling.
Do you think then you agreed?
No. Then you agreed no then you agreed
let's finish
and then I was like
oh yeah
they're only taking
like three touches
in the really
measured touches
I think they're playing
three touches
and then you agreed
no
you tell your side
of the story
I wasn't agreeing
I had finished
smoking the joint
and I kept going
here
here I had agreed with this what I was saying I'm saying is it three touches and I kept going, here.
Here.
Agreeing with this.
No.
I'm saying as a three-toucher,
you're like, here, here.
I've never said here, here to agree with anything.
Like, don't pretend that's part of my character.
Don't pretend that's part of my fucking legs.
I've got, oh, here, here, bravo.
And I just accept it.
Like I'm some sort of fucking Tory
in the house of comments
Hear hear
The bloody poor
No
I was trying to pass you the fucking joint you thick cunt
And even though I've never heard you say hear hear
To agree with anything
I didn't even question that when you did
I was like yeah that's something Danny would say to agree
Can we now talk about your little
Whitey last night
Oh no Oh no Can we now talk about your little whitey last night?
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
I forgot about that.
I didn't.
Oh, I totally forgot.
That was a whitey, that.
That was a proper whitey.
Talk about paranoid.
So we land in about fucking eight at Schieppel Airport.
And we assume we're going to be there for three hours, right?
Because after Edinburgh, Schieppel is the worst airport.
And Schieppel has an excuse to be bad.
It's massive.
They're running such a huge operation.
You expect bags to take a while.
Aye.
But also... They're moving a lot of people around.
Yeah.
Edinburgh's got no excuse. Still
Schieppo. You know how big you are.
Let's make it a bit more efficient.
But there was no, we didn't have to go through
border control because I guess we'd already fucking
gone through it. They checked in the
Portuguese side so it was just easier.
We get to our hotel.
We check in. We're about
20 minutes away from town because we're near the venue.
So we go in to watch the rest of the from town because we're near the venue so we go in
to watch the rest
of the Scotland game
by some legal
marijuana
yep
we're on route 66
one of my favourite bars
because they've got
any sport on
that you want to watch
but you can make requests
as well
because there's loads of screens
and it's never busy
I've never been in there
when it's fucking round
you can always get a seat
and aye
you can just watch
good service as well
very good service really good service the type of service where they keep an eye on where your drink's at And then when it's fucking round... You can always get a seat. And aye, you can just watch... Good service as well.
Very good service.
Really good service.
They're the type of service where they keep an eye on where your drink's at and then just come and ask if you want another.
Yeah.
Before you have to get their attention.
You're never going without a drink.
They don't sell weed there, but it's around the corner.
It's one of the other coffee shops.
We go there, buy it, go to Route 666.
We watched the Scotland game.
We beat Moldova 1-0.
Very, very happy.
We tried our best To watch the UFC
We got them to put the UFC on
But they put on a rerun
Aye
We were trying to watch
Paddy Pimlet
Who
Absolutely smashed it
Absolutely
We got the footage
After it happened
Aye
So congrats to our friend
Paddy Pimlet
That's right
We know celebrities
He's coming to see us
In Liverpool
Aye
I think
Let's not piss him off
Aye Savage beast So Everything starts to close He's coming to see us in Liverpool. Aye. I think, let's not piss him off.
Aye.
Savage beast.
So, everything starts to close at around about 12.
We go get ourselves a wee kebab.
Just walk around Amsterdam, eating half of it.
And what we hadn't realised is that the Formula One is on.
Aye.
So, it was super busy.
There was also, the Netherlands were playing last night, I'm pretty sure.
Yes, they were.
So, it was, like, town was very, very busy.
We found a taxi.
Yeah, it was like a guy just, it was a car, just saying, does anyone want a taxi?
I don't know if it was a taxi or not.
Well, it seemed to be like a taxi rank. Maybe dodgy people, it wasn't a taxi rank, people were avoiding it.
It was like, you know, when you get, like, dodgy guy at the airport, like, offering you a lift in the concourse before you get
another taxi. He was in a suit, he was standing
outside, like, there was the
barrier that taxis are required to have
between the front and the back, and I'm pretty
sure there was, like... It did turn out to be a taxi, you're right.
The name of a taxi company on the side
of it. But at first, when you asked him how much, and he
told you the price, I was like, he's running a scam, yeah.
Yeah, it was, like, 60 euros, and there's no way it cost
60 euros. Nah, not a chance it cost 60 euros but also you can you could have quoted any price
to me at that price at that time and i would have been like you needed to get back i'm like i'm
going on there's so many people waiting for cabs but i just felt like everyone was just ignoring
why like like you know when you're just like oh i didn't use these dodgy cabs yeah yeah and
everybody else knew except us and we're just like dumb tourists. I was like, oh, no, because he said 60.
Yeah.
And then we get into the cab.
Yeah.
Right, and he said,
I'm just going to make a little stop off along the way.
Uh-huh.
And I was like, what for?
He was like, for a pee?
He needed to go for a piss.
Right, they that.
And he's like, I'm just going to pull over
at the side of the road somewhere,
jump out, have a quick piss.
So fucking alarm bell stuff right on my head. I'm like, he's just waiting around. He could have had a piss at of the road somewhere jump out have a quick piss so fucking alarm bell stuff
right on my heat
I'm like he's just
waiting around
he could have had a
piss at any point
he didn't have a
customer
like now's your
time to get a
piss not when
there's a customer
in
if you're spending
60 pund on a
ride
you have to hang
around his car
he can't just
fucking
like the whole
thing about taxis
you can't just
leave it there
and then fuck off
and you can't just
piss anywhere
in Amsterdam
I don't know where
he was going to go
but like there was
bars and like we
just had a piss before we left you know everything was closed remember all the bars kicked in Amsterdam I don't know where he was going to go but like there was bars and like we just
had a piss before we left
aye
you know
everything was closed
remember all the bars kicked
it was after 12
so for 60 euros
you want the premium service
not the
I'm just going to
pop in one of my mates
and have a cig
aye
right
so
I was like
oh he's going to
tick with somewhere
to get mugged
because it's all
the fucking
posh formula one kids
riding around
with pockets full of money
ones that didn't bat an eyelid when you overpriced them for a taxi right they were like oh these guys oh, he's going to tick us somewhere to get mugged because it's all the fucking posh Formula One kids riding around with pockets full of money.
One's that different batten eyelid when you overprice them for a taxi.
They're like, oh, these guys have got wedge.
I'm just going to stop off along the way.
It'll be me or twos.
And I'm like, I'm fucking texting Egan.
We're going to get mugged here.
Here we go, right?
So we're driving along and he says this
and I'm like, oh, that's a bit unusual.
But then again, I also fucking might need a piss. And then he locks the doors and I'm like, oh a bit unusual but then again I also fucking might need a piss
and then he locks
the doors
and I'm like
oh that's
you know
fair enough
like it probably does
the amount of times
I imagine people
try the doors
try the doors
and also
just do a runner
like they get close enough
to where they want to be
they get to a red light
and then his passengers
just open the door
and fuck off
and he's left
with no fare
like I bet that has happened.
And also, bear in mind here, we're high as fuck.
Aye.
Aye, but some of us can handle our shit.
This is the difference between me and Ian in this situation, Daniel.
Is I'm the one that has to sober up here.
This is a me problem if he texts one of his pals.
I'm not looking to Egan or what do we do to get rid of this.
I'm the one that's fucking trying to stop muggers from mugging me
I'm the one that's
like willing to
rip off someone's
fucking nose
to not lose
money in my pocket
maybe that's why
I was cabbed
I'm the one that's
going to be going
for somebody's
eye socket
in a minute
and let them know
that I'm mugging
the wrong cunts
I'm the one that's
going to have to
do that stuff
maybe that's why
I felt confident
because I'm just sat there I'm like that's fair enough he's probably just locking the doors there and I'm the one that's going to have to do that stuff Maybe that's why I felt confident Because I'm just sat there
I'm like that's fair enough
He's probably just locking the door
And I'm just on my phone
Let me get the texts
Oh no
I don't even know what the texts were
I can't even remember what the texts were
I can't
I don't know where are you
So this first text Is set at quarter I can't, where are you?
So this first text is said at quarter...
It's not the joke, it doesn't make sense here.
So this first text comes at 20 past midnight.
Don't trust this. Oh don't turn the music off
don't trust this
he's taking us to get
mugged
right
and then I reply
think we're grand
but at this point because I wasn't
there was
2% 3% of my brain
that was going this is dodgy and then
the rest of me was going man you're on weed like you're fine like we're also we're in the center
of amsterdam like you're not going to pick people up from the center of amsterdam when there's
cameras fucking everywhere like yeah you might be able to rob us successfully murder us have sex
with our corpses whatever you do now that was on the table but you're gonna get caught though
like because there's so many cameras if you're doing that scam you're doing it that was on the table but you're going to get caught though like because there's so many cameras
if you're doing that scam
you're doing it from
a fucking back alley
you're doing it from
outside the centre
so I'm like
it's probably
the scam is
that it's 60 euros
yeah that was the scam
I was getting mad
about a scam
that we'd already
been part of
aye
and then you went
I'll watch the journey
60 euros is a con
and then my way of
testing
because I was going
because the thing is
you got paranoid
because you've been in
way more fights than I have
and I'm like
maybe I'm the naive person
in this situation
aye but it was still
my first kidnapment
well yeah
first time you've been
the kidnapee
aye
aye yeah
it was bad
now the shoe's on the other foot
so but now that you're
getting fucking paranoid I'm like oh god no. But now that you're getting fucking paranoid,
I'm like, oh God.
No, no, a car's just surely just being fucking paranoid.
But my big test was just roll down the windows.
Like if the windows roll down, it's just a car.
Like they're not...
Do you think that's your thing?
Absolutely.
I can climb out a fucking window.
Aye.
Easy.
Like if they pull the car over and it's a dodgy area and somebody's outside, the window? Absolutely. I can climb out a fucking window. Aye. Easy. Like, if they pull the car over
and it's a dodgy area
and somebody's outside,
the window's down,
I can flee easily.
Both of us can.
That's an escape route.
So do you think he was
in the front there going,
oh, I've discovered the windows,
I'd better just drop them off?
That's his only stipulation
for whether somebody's
going to get mugged or not
is whether they open the windows.
All these poor, easily robbable people who were rolling down the windows
because they were about to fucking spew.
He's like, well, I can't.
He didn't go for his pee in the end.
He didn't.
Which made me look like a fool because I was paranoid of pulling over
and then he just didn't pull over.
Which tells me that he realised that he'd bitten off more than he could chew.
I think maybe he sort of in that moment saw how high we
were saw the fact that like he was like can you not eat in the car and we're like oh yeah sorry
we'll wrap up we're clearly fucking stoned oh yeah i was like if he was going to muggle he could at
least let we have a sandwich first that that that was what that was one of the things that actually
calmed me doing is the fact he didn't want me to eat no that actually made me more paranoid because
i'm like he doesn't want any of our fucking dna
anywhere on this car and if i'm sitting there chewing and salivating when they test his car
for dna they're going to be like is that daniel sloss's spit all your slobbery crumbs are all
over the seat they recognize it from sight they don't have the dna test smell it all right just
get carter turn up and lick it and she's like aye, kebab and spliff that's him
that's the man I love
there he is
I said yes, I knew what I was agreeing to
and then
we drive all the way
I think he just was like these two fucking
they probably think I'm going to mug them
I now realise the way I said things
that they've gone so quiet
they were very chatty outside
it's 60 euros I'm going to swing by my mates
aye they've got in the car
they're stoned
normally
people would have ran at that
but the main point is
obviously we were safe
nothing happened at no point was any of Kai's
fears going to happen
but you did have a little whitey I did
you know what I sobered up a little bit I was ready what would you plan a bit right let me
just give you a budget right so we're in the car obviously I fully agree with you by the way
that it's your problem and also I don't know if you knew this or not but I had like 750 euros in
me bag oh did you because in my head I was I was like, I got about 50 euros on me.
I've obviously got 60 euros on me.
I've got like 78 euros on me.
I've got my phone and I've got a spliff.
I'm like, and also like Marlena's at the hotel and she's got another,
like she's got like, we'll be fine.
Like if we get mugged, I'll just give them me stuff.
So 750, hi, that's a... So the reason for that is'll be fine Like if we get mugged I'll just give them me stuff So 750 high
That's a
So the reason for that
Where the fuck do you get
750 euros from?
You know just before lockdown
Aye
I'd done the laughter lounge
Oh okay
And they pay in cash
Okay
And I never change my euros
That I get off the laughter
I thought you were going to say
I was driving a taxi
The night before
I knew the Formula 1 was on
I mugged a few people
It was just like Hey I just need to drop over here For a wee I didn't want to Have a wee wank At the side of the on I mugged a few people It was just like
Yeah I just need to drop over here
For a wee
Have a wee wank
At the side of the road
Hope you don't mind
I didn't want to get hoisted
By me own batard
That's why I had such a white
In the taxi
So right
He pulls
He pulls over
Right
He gets out
For a piss
He doesn't have a gun
I don't imagine
Did he stop for a piss?
No he didn't
No no
I'm giving you the hypothetical I was going to say If he stop for a piss no he didn't no no I'm giving you the hypothetical
I was going to say
if he stopped for a piss
and I was just
so paranoid
that I missed it
on your phone
I'm just texting you again
this is bad
he's going to pull over
after you there
just pissing
he gets out of the car
and like
another person
turns up at the window
with a knife
what are you doing there
like I'd be like are you going to use that leg a knife, what are you doing there?
I'd be like, are you going to use that?
Are you going to kill someone to get that money?
Is that who you are?
Are you threatening us with it?
And they'd be like, whatever the Dutch is for Pocwa.
And then I'd try and keep this forward-brow,
hostile approach that I didn't give a fuck about the knife right
but also like
very aware that he could
thrust at any moment
I'd like to think that he
wasn't going to use it
right
at this point by the way
I'm already a clumber
away from the car
and I want him to know
that his bluff's called
that he's not going to use it
you're not going to use that
I'm going to keep my money
this is it
this bit's over
it's done
it's not working
also could you please still give us a lift I don't know where I am I've got no idea where I am I'm going to keep my money. This is it. This bit's over. It's done. It's not working.
Also,
could you please still give us a lift home?
I don't know where I am.
I've got no idea where I am.
I'm fucking here.
Give us that.
See,
that's in trouble.
Aye,
I would have.
Aye,
I'd be like,
I'd feel a lot more confident.
Natalie,
I listened to this, right? Just for the sake of it, I'd run, I'd feel a lot more confident Natalie I listen to this right just for the sake of it
I'd run as soon as I saw the twinkle of the blade baby
but
like I don't think
people that wield knives
expect you to be able to kick
right because
you can have better range than the knife man
with a foot with a push kick
so you could like push them away
as they come at you.
And what they're going to do
is like fucking drop
their knife hand
and try and shave your leg.
I reckon they'll just
stab you in the neck.
I reckon you can put,
I reckon you can be alright
as long as you can kick.
I didn't want to be
in this situation
because like,
he's got a stab
and he's got a chance
of killing us.
Aye.
But I reckon like,
if you come at us
with a knife
and I just fucking push kick you,
like your next move
is just to swarm on you
with a side kick
your knife's gonna
go and clatter
across the floor
because you're gonna
need it to stop
yourself falling
I think
if you get into
arm combat
with a knife man
indeed right
but if you get into
leg combat
with a knife man
unless he can
kick it out
I reckon he'd just
start kicking shit out of a knife wielder
just leg
leg kicks the works
just fucking
how would you have
this confidence
without gear
like
have you listened to
anything you've just said
like I reckon
I reckon
I reckon a knife's a disadvantage
in a fight against me
that's essentially
what you're pitching I've got a kicker's chance in a knife fight I think I've got a disadvantage in a fight against me. That's essentially what you're pitching.
I've got a kicker's chance in a knife fight.
I think I've got a kicker's chance in a knife fight.
You're fucking mental.
I do?
This is...
Natalie, you've got every right to be worried.
He's going to get stabbed to death one day.
I'm not. I'm not.
Look, I'm going to ruin it.
We're going to go to fucking America.
Some cunt's going to pull a gun on us
and you're going to be like,
oh, man, I bet he's not factoring in
the fact that I know
how to headbutt him
nobody
nobody with a gun
right his gun's right
in my face
he's not expecting me
to just give him
a fucking glass
no no
hold the gun
I'll just do a backflip kick
catch up when it comes down
couldn't even catch
the shower chill
when you choked
the other day
in the pool shower
you choked the shower chill
and I just
just patted it on
sent it further
what would actually happen
is you would do
I believe
right sure
I'll follow your fantasy
long enough
that you can do
a backflip kick
no no
I'm not backflipping
kicking a gun
right
let's be real here
here's what real is
here's my money
here's my wallet
here's my phone
the passcode to both is this.
Now, a man's got a knife, can't give you a wallet.
A fucking push, kick him in the gut.
Right, but what about his mate who's driven us there?
Ah, you've got him.
I don't.
He's got me in his arms.
He's got a knife to my throat now.
Genuinely, I feel like if someone
pulled a knife on me
I'd fucking have
such a
gut reaction
to want to
tape them in the chest
you're gonna die man
this is
see this is what
this is exactly why
I don't do
any fucking
jujitsu
I would hate
to have this belief
in my head
because it would be
my fucking downfall
the reason I don't
kick the shit out of people
is because I don't know
how to kick the shit
out of people
and I know I'd get
my head kicked in
if I thought
I could batter someone
I would batter people
because there's people
who need battered
right
like there's not enough
justice in the world
and I'll happily
dish it out myself
but that's wrong
and that's why
I specifically do not train
in anything. That's the part you don't want
I don't want it, I can't have it
I would be an evil superman
100% I would go around
and I would use my laser eyes
to like annihilate a good portion
of people I deemed evil
society was just starting
again, all the politicians cut in half
I'm not
sorry
so you'd kill a bunch of politicians
I can't have power
because I would use it for
my own version of good
but obviously my own version of good
isn't everyone's version
it's too chaotic
I can't have power
if
you've been in fights you've kicked people's fucking heads and you're rationally going Aye But I can't have power If You
I mean yeah
You've been in fights
You've kicked people's fucking heads
And you're rationally going
I could beat somebody
With a fucking knife
Aye but I wouldn't do it
I'd try and get the fuck out of there
Aye
I would spend my wallet
Or whatever right
But I reckon I could
Aye
Like it's too high stakes to risk it
Aye
But I reckon most knife wielders
They're not hard Aye that's why they've got a it Aye But I reckon most knife wielders They're not hard
Aye that's why they've got a knife
You know
I reckon somebody that was hard
Would feel pretty confident
Mugging you a regular tourist
Without a weapon
Aye
Unless it's just for the shock factor
In which case
Have you ever had a knife pulled on you
I know you've pulled one on someone
You fucking psychopath
Yeah I never have
I've had people be like
because we grew
up in Fife and
we were all
fucking teenagers
out drinking like
other teenagers
that you fucking
hated in high
school all the
fucking cunts
from Methyl
would fucking
be like I've
got a knife
I'm gonna do
it and you're
like well I
mean I'm not
gonna check but
that was just
their way of
threatening you
because they
pretend to have
a knife in their
pocket I've seen
that before
they probably
didn't But also like
Having a knife was
Cool to the scum
It was like
Because like
Wade Academy wasn't a fucking rough school
And Fife's rough
But it's not like the roughest
It's just
You know
It's no
It's no the dark parts of Glasgow
Aye
But
You still get
Fucking
Wee jig boys
We used to walk around the streets
With little pellet guns
That looked like guns
Aye
Aye Because we used to Fucking It didn't with little pellet guns that looked like guns. Aye.
Aye,
because we used to fucking,
it didn't hurt that much.
Me and Rouge had a game once where we'd just fucking
shoot my pellet guns
at each other in the field.
And like,
we're left with a couple of welts on
we're here and there,
but that could have been
an eye problem,
that.
Aye.
Aye.
Are they still legal?
Were they ever legal?
What,
BB guns?
The BB guns.
G10, that was the name of mine.
Like a little Gat Gun.
You could put little slugs in them,
which is like the kind of shuttlecock-shaped lead.
Or you could put the ball bearings in.
Or those ones, aye.
Yeah.
I think, I mean, they must be legal,
but I don't think you were meant to have them.
Kids walking around the street strapped.
Aye.
Just like really, and you're all listening to a fucking walking around the street strapped aye just like really
and you're all listening
to a fucking gangster
rap and in your head
you're like
I mean this is
these songs are about me
it's about me
growing up in Blythe
with my wee fucking
spud gun
I hear Teddy going
so aye
you got that off your chest
about us having a whitey
I did
I thought it was very funny
I just wanted
because Matty's been
having a whitey for about three months now I thought it I just wanted because Matty's been having a whitey
for about three months now
I thought it would cheer him up
I'm going to see Matty
are you
tomorrow
to say goodbye
tomorrow
I just
kiss his heart goodbye
aye
is it his heart
aye
broken heart
he's broken hearted
aye
Arsenal aren't doing well this season
Arsenal bottom of the league
they can't handle it anymore
he was rushed to hospital
because he saw the sign
as they made him aye just saw Tottenham top of the league Arsenal bottom of the league he can't handle it anymore he was rushed to hospital because he saw the sign as they made him
just saw Tottenham
top of the league
Arsenal bottom
he's putting on a brave face
which is rare
because I've never seen
Matty put on a brave face
I've only ever seen him
shit it at the earliest
possible opportunity
he's usually quite the
quite the
he would have been
he would have been
out that window
if he was in the taxi
oh man
the pity in that car
and then
thank fucking god it was me
with my stoned logic of
no no it's just the money's the scam
man Mattie would have been
out that fucking window in a second
surfing on the roof of the car
yeah
just be like take care guys get 750 euros in this
get him
and just quickly give Mattie back the money I owe him
Why are you seeing Matty tomorrow?
Because I'm staying at his the night before
We'll pick up Peggy
Wait you pick up Peggy soon?
Peggy, Peggy soon
Peggy
Peggy soon
Oh that's Peggy and Sue
Yeah
I'm aware you're stealing my cat's names
So
You're picking up Peggy and Sue on Tuesday
On Wednesday the 8th
Alright
So Tuesday
Hold on
I'm back a day
I'm back a day
Then I go to Matty's
Stay there
And then I pick up Peggy and come back
Aye
So wait
So Natalie's not
Is Natalie going down with you
Yes Right okay It's just because I was going to be like If you've got an extra couple of hours at the start And then I pick up Peggy And come back Aye So wait Is Natalie going down with you? Yes
Right okay
It's just because
I was going to be like
If you've got an extra
Couple of hours at the start
To get the dog on your side
Before she meets it
But
Aye yeah
I'm going to be driving
And Natalie's going to be bonding
Have you got like
A puss for it already?
I'm going to breastfeed it
No no
But just like
To strap it into your chest
Just if it gets
Tired or
Anxious or
Have you got a car seat for it?
No
No
No I've got a crate
A crate
A crate
I've got a crate
Trained as a puppy
Oh you mean a crib
Yeah
Oh I've also got a
Pen
A pen
Because we don't want to just like
Use the crate as
Every time we leave the room
But if Natalie wants to go for a pee
She can put the
Put Peggy in the pen
With a few toys
Because we're going to Keep our supervise Once she's Peggy in the pen With a few toys Because I'm going to keep my supervise
Once she's out and about and that
I don't know what I'm doing
I've been listening to Scott Mills' podcast
Scott Mills?
Scott Mills does a podcast about training a puppy
Scott Mills of Radio 1?
Of Radio 1, Scott Mills
And they're just 10 minute episodes
With a 3 minute advert for dog food
So because it's every 10 minutes I've been advertised to about they're just 10 minute episodes right with like a 3 minute advert for dog food so if you like
because it's every 10 minutes
I've been advertised
to about
what's it called again
I forget what it's called
doesn't work
doesn't work
it's called
butternut box
butternut box
oh mate
fucking
it comes
I'm not going to use it
butternut box
because I'm going to use oodles
that's the one
that the breed has recommended
okay
and we've got 25 kilograms of oodles in the house now
Oodles
What and 25 grams of the dog your size will last
Six years
It's going to be a while
It's going to be well out of date
But Natalie's fucking
Rehoost has turned into this dog thing
I keep getting sent pictures of bits and bobs
I keep getting notifications on my phone That me joint Monzo's spent money And I kept I keep getting like pictures of bits and bobs I keep getting notifications on my phone
That me joint Monzo's spent money
And I keep getting messages off Yodel
Saying that me dog mats arrived
And dog nightlights arrived
Is that a bit true?
I don't know
I wonder if you're going to have a baby monitor
We're going to have a baby monitor we're going to have a DVD
sorry it might be off YouTube
but we're going to play
motorbike engine noises and fairway
noises and stuff to train it
to be just a bit harder
oh right so you're just going to
when you first get this puppy you're sticking it straight
into Guantanamo Bay
you're getting some fucking strobe lights as well
I'm putting platoon on.
I'm going to put platoon on.
This is horrible.
Is that what you're meant to do,
to train them to be fine with fireworks and stuff?
Aye.
Who said this?
Someone who hates dogs?
Did a cat tell you this?
Did a cat tell you that the best way to train a dog
is to play sounds of fireworks?
Yeah, and also if you just get the sounds of other dogs being murdered.
You don't need lion noises.
Yeah, all that stuff.
Can you record it to Mother crying?
Aye.
And can you also film this and just put it up for use for just me and my mates?
Just so we're all dog trainers.
I mean, I know we're cats, but...
dog traders I mean I know
we're cats
but
so
I think
that's
because you
get a lot of
stuff with the
dog
so what do
you spend
you want
if it's a
dirty blanket
dirty blanket
it comes with
a dirty blanket
aye
why
because like
it's been used
in the litter
it smells of it's litter oh right ok so it's like a teddy bear used in the In the litter It smells of it's litter
Oh right okay
So it's like a
It's a teddy bear
It's the teddy bear
For your teddy bear
Aye
And we've
Oh this is another thing
That arrived when I was away
A comfort dog
That has a heartbeat
What?
A comfort
A comfort toy
That has like
A beating heart
So it feels like
It's been a companion
Natalie I was like, oh, beating hard. So it feels like it's been confined in.
This is the softest dog.
The softest dog that's ever fucking lived.
My fucking... They used to be wolves.
You have taken it so far away.
It's got a little
teddy bear
with a heartbeat in it
so it doesn't feel.
Natalie's going to come
home and I'm going to
be on the couch
with the wrong dog.
She's sleeping.
She's been so well behaved.
That teddy though
destroyed your slippers.
Honestly.
It's shat all over the floor.
It will not stop crying. I tried taking the batteries out. It's shot all over the floor. It will not stop crying.
I tried taking the batteries out,
but I got shit all over me fingers.
So basically, we're going to play loads of fireworks
and motorbikes
and fucking thunder and artillery shells, right?
But we're going to be like,
but look, he has like, he has a mate.
That's like almost dead.
Like it's just, it's in its last moments of life.
Like the heartbeat's there steady.
Weak.
It's not breathing.
Come back and Peggy's trying to Peggy's trying to resuscitate it
I don't know, I'm new to this stuff
I'm just figuring it as I go
I can't wait for the future
Because I want dogs in the future
But the dogs I want
I want German Shepherds
And I want two German Shepherds
And I will take them
to do the fucking
like the
police
training
we've booked
us on a good
citizen course
what?
is that what you mean
that sort of stuff?
no no
specifically I'm talking
about like
Cara's quite a small
person
and in the future
we intend to have
children
and those will be
small people
and I used to walk
Lassie
my half golden
shepherd
golden shepherd
I know
I got the wrong thing
German shepherd
sounds like it was a half
it sounds
yeah yeah
German shepherd
but she wasn't a golden
receiver
I don't know what the other half was
maybe Alsatian
anyway
I used to be able to walk around
with her
also because Spife is safe
in general
but I felt fucking hard as nails
because I had this fucking big dog
Aye but if you meet someone that can kick it
Then it's all over for the dog
So I want to get dogs that are like trained
Not to fucking attack anyone
But just if I go
You know
If someone they love is in danger
Then they're not afraid to tear somebody else's throat out
But also trained so much That they're not afraid to tear somebody else's throat out But also
Train so much that they don't
You know
They're not attacking fucking everyone
You want them to be disciplined
What are you taking your dog to?
Good citizen school
Just to be able to socialise
And be good around other dogs and other people
Is it like a
What's that?
Prenatal classes? Is that essentially what it is?
Oh no no no prenatals before the baby's born you daft cunt so it would just be nursery.
You're taking your doctor. Have you looked at schools yet? Aye that's what we're doing,
looking at little schools. I think they're at least having a little bit of bother getting them
booked on. Aye. Because they... Well interracial parents, maybe they're not used to it in this Oh do you reckon she's been profiled
So one day we're like
She went to book on
And they were like
We're not booking yet
And then she went to ask back
And they were like
We're fully booked
And like next month's October
And put your dog won't be a puppy then
It'll be like the citizenship course
Which is like the second one
After the puppy
So I kind of got on that
And touched on the puppy one
She was like Well can I do the puppy one so she's like in the minute she's just trying
to win over somebody that's fully booked you know because you know what it's like in the suburbs
daniel who have i become i would love to if like how did this happen
there's been one lockdown i come out the other end Nudad Completely nudad What the fuck has happened to me

With all of these podcasts
and making 23-year-old you listen to them.
And just because...
I'd snap my own neck there and then on the spot.
No.
I'd grab my chain, grab the top of my head.
Hi, the podcast.
It would just be me talking to myself on a podcast.
You'd enter a wormhole.
It would just be me doing my own fucking Bill Barr solo.
Me and his, me undies.
There's no more sweary taint to do do.
So far we've advertised Butternut Box for Scott Mills and Me Undies for Bill Barr.
Butternut Box would be my name if I was a porn star.
Eww. Eww. Ew Be my finishing move
Because you know how poor stars
Much like wrestlers
Have finishing moves

The pile driver

He was known for
Slinging rope
Is that a
He could throw a cable
Oh because his dick
was the cable I see.
No, no, the spunk
was the cable.
But it's...
He had lashings,
he had lashings of sperm.
It would just keep going, Daniel.
That's just...
Sometimes I think
you've done it in two shots.
Two film shots
or two...
Two film shots.
Two film shots.
Two film shots.
Got you, got you.

She's gonna eat weird shit and you're
gonna have to pull them out of her arse like she'll just eat a bit of fucking string and there'll be a
little bit of poo that can't come out. Do you know this because of Cullen? Aye you've got to like put no no no Cullen sheds
Cullen digests the whole thing. When you come in you just saw you just saw Cullen with like a little
bit of string hanging out of his mouth and you looked around and all the birthday bunting was gone. Just like a Y
hanging out.
It's the last bit.
And then you just found
a B hanging out of his bum.
Hang him up myself.
That would be an H,
wouldn't it?
Aye, it would.
That would be an H.
Unless you just say
the birthday button.
The happy banner's still up there.
Yeah.
Depends how long
your bunting is.
It always does.
Well, well, well.
We didn't write any dad jokes.
Oh, I knew there was something we missed.
Aye.
So normally that's like when the podcast reaches an unsatisfying ending.
No.
We can sort of like hide behind.
Bring it back.
Aye.
Should we just do some dad stories then?
Because you know how jokes
used to be set a punchline,
set a punchline
and then Billy Connolly
just changed the game.
Aye.
And made it so that
we could just tell stories
and anecdotes
and the punchlines would be
in there.
No, I think we can
advertise the tour
as we're meant to do
and also advertise the
Patreon.
But then again, I guess this...
So if you just listen to this on Spotify and iTunes,
then you can get an extra bonus episode every week
by going to Patreon.
And it's not always high.
It was only the last one was...
The last one was super high.
It's like a real
Like
But some people said
They enjoyed it

I don't think it will be
and I think it's going to be
one of them places
where we're like
dead surprised
aye
yeah I think
em
but I also think
the Greeks
would hate
have I
do they hate us
no I don't think so the italians i'm thinking of
the italians also hate the brits yeah i don't know i don't think so i think they um
there's quite big greek communities in in britain isn't that not all right there's loads
and in australia yeah um because they've their fucking, they're a big community-based people.
I feel like their families,
like the Italians.
Aye.
Family's the most important thing in the world.
We all eat together.
We all do this.
We all do that.
Aye, you're still super close
to like third cousins and that.
Aye.
Is that just us profiling?
Do we know that?
No, I know that.
Are they like super...
Also, that's not bad profiling.
I don't think the Greeks
Are going to turn up
And be like
Do you tell me I love
My fucking mother
Huh?
They're not going to be pissed off
That we claim they were
Family people
That's not
That they love their relatives
Aye
Like they love their relatives
Like mugs
No but
I do feel like
With my limited knowledge
They would be the type
To have like
Massive weddings
Aye
With like
Loads of people
That they haven't seen
for ages
from their family
because like
my big fat Greek wedding
that's what you're talking about
is that where I'm getting that from
that is exactly
where you're getting that from
is that a propaganda piece
as it
reelsies
ask them
ask them when you get there
also just
if anyone
is going to Gibraltar
at any point
do not
call them Spain
we didn't do that we didn't do that
we didn't do that
but we heard
but Paloma Faith did
Paloma Faith
ah
walked on
apparently she wouldn't
let up either
she kept like
I know
a lot of my best memories
are in Spain
I love being here
and they're like booing
because she's calling them Spain
which is just carrying on
with the same monologue
that she was gonna do
because she's trying
no no
because she was like
no no
like I'm saying nice things
about where you're from
and they're like,
we're not fucking from there,
motherfucker.
And apparently she just
couldn't let it go.
Aye.
She got booed off stage.
Don't do it.
Between songs,
just doing like five,
six minutes of calling them Spanish.
Aye.
Which like,
we've got to tell us
is like the same way
you'd feel if like
somebody got up in Scotland
and started calling you London.
Or England.
Or England.
Any part of it
we would
I'd love to
see that
fucking happen
Daniel Sloss
from Scotland
England
should we go
play some board
games
do you want to
play board
games
we've got board
games

just want to
read my book
you sound like
you want to
show a guy
out of town
no get more high no no we've got a gig today no we absolutely fucking shouldn't do that at all Maybe I just want to read my book. You sound like you want to show a guy out of town. No.
Get more high.
No.
No, we've got a gig today.
No, we absolutely fucking shouldn't do that at all.
I forgot about the gig.
Aye, and we're right near the venue.
We can go into town afterwards and get more high.
Yeah.
I'm fine with that happening.
But I feel like Amsterdam's going to be one of those places
where people definitely bring us weed after the show.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, we're probably going to be good for that.
Aye.
I imagine.
So maybe we won't. We won't have to go very far. Right, that's the end of the podcast. Yeah. Oh, yeah, we're probably going to be good for that. Aye. I imagine. So maybe we won't.
We won't have to go very far.
Right, that's the end of the podcast.
We'll speak to you...
Oh, end it early.
That's with Nora.
We've done another 20 minutes
before this, you daft cunt.
So we have.
Forgot about that.
I was like,
you're going to shortchange.
I'm not sure.
We've gone over.
I've been trying to end this
for 15 minutes.
I've been trying to milk it.
I can tell.
We've nothing else to talk about.
We've filled our fucking time, you daft cunt.
This isn't the joke.
You need to watch Carburet Enthusiasm
because you're getting it wrong.
No, I'm not going to keep the flag going.
It's not the bit.
