Where have you been since 9-11?
Do you still celebrate birthdays when you're dead?
I mean, you don't
No, not personally
Aye
If you're dead, you don't celebrate your own birthday
but do people still
celebrate dead
people's birthdays
because like
he didn't
is that the question
you know what
I think like
I don't think
they'll celebrate
the birthday
I think you'll be like
you'll have a drink
in their name
aye
like he didn't
celebrate my birthday
when I was alive
I'm talking in past tense
like I'm already dead
yeah right
this is me from
this is Kai from
Beyond the Grave
it's not that I didn't
celebrate your birthday
it's just before Gara
I had nobody to remind me
that it was your birthday
aye that is true
aye
that's the number one
the number one reason
I can say to get into
a relationship
is a lot of people
will tell you
it's about finding someone
that loves you for who you are
to give you confidence
to carry on
and spread your seed
and so on and so forth
but honestly
in someone that can
remember dates,
that is the number one thing I've benefited.
It's the admin, isn't it?
Oh my God, she's just so good at organising things.
It's a fucking bionic filofax.
Aye, that's got a real sick puss.
Wait, did you say bionic?
Bionic?
Like, electronic filofax would just be a phone.
A bionic filof facts would be like a human being
no
that's not what bionic is
like biomechanics
alright but she's not
she's not
that's just
oh here we go
conspiracy theorists
we're not all robots
oh we're not all robots
for the miracle of life
there is a god
shut up man
we're fucking
we're a creation
by an alien species
well then surely that's what
they would be
our gods
if they created this thing.
They're cultivating us.
The world's a Petri dish.
Right.
We're still in the, like, you know,
we're still in the development phase.
Uh-huh.
As soon as we're ready, we'll...
This is the development phase.
We're not finished.
We are not finished.
You think we're finished?
No, but, like, if there's aliens looking through
some sort of giant intercosmic...
We are single-celled organisms to them.
We're recording a podcast!
Aye, they're looking at we're going,
oh look, they've come on leaps and bounds
since we're planting them on this earth and they created fire.
When you were setting up this podcast,
did you have to make it so that we were fucking holding each other's dicks?
Oh yeah, aye.
And the arms are crossed.
We're really cosy.
I'll just describe the situation to anyone
that's listening to the podcast, which is the majority of you,
because people are watching this on YouTube too
and they can see that me.
YouTube too? There's a sequel?
YouTube too.
To YouTube.
Oh, no.
Yeah, we're in a hotel room.
It's a nice hotel in York.
And there was like a throne in the corner of the room like a kind of just a big red chair a big red chair like you
know if if i was um if i was on um i would this is the type of chad sitting to offer you a red
pill or a blue pill really because i feel like if anyone's watching at all on YouTube too that we
just look like we're
really big fans of
Taskmaster
yes
and are just
recreating the setup
of the show
aye
so I had a
bigger microphone
I had a throne in my
room
and less banter
well
I think we'd be
really good on
Taskmaster
I'm not famous enough
to be on it
and now will you
hurry the fuck up I'm feeling so tired will you just up your game I'm not famous enough to be on it. And now will you hurry the fuck up?
I'm feeling so tired.
Will you just up your game?
I am trying.
Because I want to ride your coattails on to Taskmaster.
Would that be your number one show to go on?
Aye.
Aye.
That or Total Wipeout.
Like, I would have to go on Total Wipeout with a mask on.
Because if they were like, do you want to do the celebrity version?
I'm like, absolutely not.
I wouldn't do the celebrity version of like any show
but I'd go on
regular Total
Wipeout
and just hope
people didn't
recognise me
aye
so you didn't
want to be there
it's like
I'm raising this
money for an
orphanage and all
that and then
you file off
and you're going
sorry kids
you file off
for the first
hurdle and you're
just soaking wet
and you're just
going to cut
your little shit
eating grin on
your face
going sorry
you didn't
get your shoes
I hate that
on celebrity charities
I'm not doing total wipe out for the kids
I'm doing total wipe out for me
just for you
and look if I do well
because I'll have honour about it
if I do well in the show and I win the money
I'll be like alright look
I'm actually international celebrity
and I'm already loaded
so I'm going to give this money away to a charity
everyone's like yay
I'm a good bloke at that point
and that's the way you spin it
so you get
like the charity's an afterthought
yeah yeah yeah
but then if I go out early doors
then nobody remembers me
because I'm just that twat
that went out early
you weren't gambling
on somebody else's money
and also anyone
that's on a celebrity show
is never a fucking celebrity
and I think the second
even if you
even
like any show that's like on ITv2 or fucking bbc3 or non or even sometimes fucking regular
itv and they're like celebrity something island and you're like how is this the first time i've
heard of there there is celebrity from being on something like big brother or there is celebrity
from being on something like goggle box or there is celebrity from being a non-celebrity that was thrust into the limelight
a non-celebrity
a non-celebrity
are there any
of that kind
are there any
of that kind
look I'm going to be honest
as a
as a
now that I'm getting
closer and closer up
the grades of celebrity
I reckon I am getting
closer to that
fucking pedo cycle
I've heard so much about
as a
as a Z-list celebrity
you have
instantly went in
for the training wheels
of a childlike girlfriend.
Aye, aye, aye.
She's good.
You're not A-list yet
but you're fucking
you're training up to be
an A-list celebrity.
She's only childlike
in her demeanour.
No.
And body.
No.
She's a fully grown woman
but she is an idiot
she cried at a puppy
she did cry at a puppy
which is fucking rich coming from me
but I brought my puppy around to your house
you did
oh and the amount of people on Instagram
I guess not everyone listens to this podcast
because I don't plug it all the fucking time
but in my head everyone knows about this podcast
because on Instagram
I posted
the picture of the dog
and they were like
do you get a fucking puppy
and I'm like
no
no you should know the backstory
I know
we've been selling this backstory
across our social media channels
for some time now
we have
I think
I have
I've shared things
this is like a month long narrative
aye
so everyone thinks that
you had a cute puppy
and you got all of the
like cute puppy love
but everyone knows
I've got a big fat cat
who hates all other animals.
Oh, your cat was...
Not happy.
So Cara came in and made a fuss of the dog.
No, the dog came in and then Cara cried.
Yeah, and made a real fuss.
And then we went outside
because I'd been in the car for a while
so we're like, it's probably going to need a pee.
Cara will cry at most times.
Just to say, Cara will regularly cry at animals.
Cara cries at least once a day.
Cara's never cried.
Cara cries at least once a day
because of just something random
that Ray will do.
And I know I've said this on the podcast before,
but I need to call her out again
because I know she listens to this.
I love my fiancée very, very much.
But if one more time in my fucking life
I'm watching a television show
or reading a book
and she stops me while I'm doing it
by tapping me on the arm
to point at a sleeping cat,
I might have to throw her through something in the house.
Aye, that's a head bust, that leg.
That's an absolute head bust.
That type of behaviour wouldn't get you through the dating phase
you know if you'd done that
on early dates
you'd be going
nah she's got it going
I can't put my finger on it
I don't know what it is
I don't know what it is
but I just
look I get it
man Ray's adorable
and every time I look over
I'm like yeah
that's my cat looking cute
I'm like
it could have fucking waited
during the date it's fine
because when I'm on the road
she just texts pictures
so she's doing the same thing then
and I like that
I don't know
I don't know if you're the same
if I'm just in the honeymoon phase
when we pet
but I like
I love the updates
do you think
there's a time
do you think there's going to be
a time in the future
when you don't love your pet
this much
well surely
she can't
she can't stay this cute like
oh
no
but just
oh you are
oh you're in for a deep
deep fall
I still love I still love me dog of course, oh, you're in for a deep, deep fall, motherfucker. I still love my dog, of course I will.
No, you're getting it the wrong way,
but man, this is...
It's just going to get worse.
Yeah, this is the least you'll ever love your dog.
And I know that's insane to imagine,
but this is the, every second after this,
it's more and more, like,
we've got a shit one.
I really, really didn't want this to become
a dog podcast man believe me neither did i we've been trying to speak about things for other
episodes but let's just call september the dog month international dogs i took peggy to puppy
school hi and i thought it was a school for us but it's called puppy school are you a puppy yeah
but it's like for how to teach a puppy,
how to raise it, how to do tricks.
It's probably a puppy skills class or puppy owner classes.
All right, okay.
I thought it was going to be like,
where is my puppy?
There's other people with their puppies
and they'll teach us little methods and all that
and interact with the dogs together.
You were hoping it was the other one
so that you could make a joke about it
and be like, so I went along to a puppy school
but it's a class for us by the way, not
the puppies. Wouldn't that be ridiculous?
I think my dad
got disqualified for a leak
competition. It's not even a leak.
Like that kind of joke.
Aye.
One that they think is a pullback
and reveal but it was like through a thinly
veiled curtain
Yes
I could see what was coming before
So we were
Why is my hand doing this?
That's the always thing
Anytime you see a comedian who does something
Improvtive
So I'm walking along with my girlfriend
She's not this height by the way
Don't know why I did that
Yeah you did that
97 gigs ago and it got a laugh
I do that on set I'm going to break the magic for anyone that's come to see us in fact i haven't
been doing this i do it i haven't i haven't been doing this bit of material for the last few gigs
as i've phased phased it out for some new uh but there's a point in one of me um routines where
i once i burst out laughing at the freaking ridiculousness
of what I was saying,
right?
Oh, right.
And then,
so I corpsed,
it's called corpsing
when you laugh at your own shit
on stage,
right?
And it is infectious.
A lot of people laugh
at you laughing
at your own shit
if it's legitimate.
Only if you,
yeah,
only if you time it correctly.
If it's timed correctly.
And I cut out of the bit
and I stepped,
like I physically stepped
out of the part of the stage
where I was doing the bit.
And I went, I've stopped doing stand-up comedy now,
I'm just telling you about my day.
And it went down so well and I stepped back into the bit
on stage and continued the bit.
And I was like, I'm going to try that again tomorrow.
And I tried again tomorrow and I've done it about two...
Yeah, I was going to say that was seven years ago.
Aye.
My wedding. And aye i it was improv once i it was a really fucking good bit of improv man that's the like i mean this is when you'll get a debate with like fucking comedy purists and whatnot but like that's
the whole point of comedy like for most of us is trying to convince the audience that this is the first
time you've said it. That's half the fucking act. Like you can go on stage and look, if
we were all as talented as Dave Chappelle, you could go on and just fucking riff most
of the time, even though he doesn't fucking riff, he's just the master of it. But he's
capable of riffing and still.
I always said it's the illusion of spontaneity. If they think that you've done that to every other crowd,
they'd feel betrayed.
Even though deep down they know.
But if you can give this illusion
that you're pulling it out of the air,
live, in the moment,
they're willing to suspend their disbelief
and lean into that illusion.
Because they're fucking idiots.
Your room is freezing, by the way.
Aye.
And I like a cold bedroom, but this is...
But I'm notoriously a warm-up act, so it's kind of...
I like to come into a cold room.
I like to step into a cold room, Daniel.
Like, yeah, your room's warm.
Right, so what you're telling me is...
But only because I've already been in.
No, no, let's...
No, no, no, let's...
Don't dive into this one.
Oh, my God, this is a straw man fucking metaphor.
No, no, no, no, no.
The illusion.
We're talking about illusions.
That was a joke-oid.
It had the illusion of a joke, Daniel.
But if you've been in this room for ages,
there's the warm-up act,
and it's still cold.
I'm not doing my job properly, am I?
Yeah, this part of the room Is a bit frosty
Aye
So I went to put my class
Right
And fuck me
I thought everyone had bought
Their like life sized dogs
Because I turn up
With this fucking
Minute little dog
Oh and she is
I've seen her now
She
Comfortably
Like you can pass her
Between palms
Yeah one hand to one hand
Aye
There you go
Man There was Three great Danes pass her between palms. Yeah, one hand to one hand. There you go.
Man, there was three Great Danes,
a German shepherd,
and a Doberman.
And they were all... And then your chew toy.
And they were all six months.
So they just thought you brought along a toy
for the rest of the class?
I was shitting myself.
I was shitting myself because I was like, oh, no.
You know how Peggy or something just mouthed at you because she's teething?
And you have to let her know it's not good, put a toy in her mouth.
Yeah, there's certain things you're not allowed to bite.
There's certain things you're not allowed to bite.
The process, if they think they can bite everything when they come into the world
and you've got to teach them what they can bite and what they can't bite yeah
right and what if these dogs are still in that phase and they don't know not to bite piggy
because even just the nibbles has gone well she might i get your fear right but to follow it
through to the other end she might come out whole on the other side that's true like
she you know
I mean she'll be a
little bit traumatised
and certainly
you know covered in
stomach acid
and at the very least
a bunch of shit
she'll just come out
and start licking her
paws like no one
happened
just the Doberman
dead confused
why
I ate something
but I'm still
hungry
is this
is this a Chinese dog?
Chinese food
you didn't feel like you could eat another one
Oh right okay
So it's Chinese food
it wasn't racism Daniel
Not everything about the Chinese
is racism Daniel
First of all what's the stereotype about Chinese people?
And if they were dogs, they would be less hungry?
Because they eat less?
Okay, I know, I know, I understand.
We got there.
So I actually just started sniffing around them.
She didn't give a fuck it was me.
That was bothered, right?
But I was like, I was giving her and then but I was like I was giving her
like a little sniff of them
and I was picking her back up
I wasn't
and then they came out
what
I was picking her back up
I was like
I don't want to leave her
in the fuck
were you
marooning your dog
around a fucking puppy class
like a waiter
with a fine bottle of wine
but like the opposite way
where I just
pick them around
to different arseholes
being like
what about
this one
do you like
that one
this is a
12 week
cover pill
this is a
six month
old great
day and
is this to
your fancy
I can lift
the tail up
for you more
if that helps
yeah yeah
do you want
me to check
if it's been
corked
it has now
it's just been caught
just
just this second
so
I was a bit nervous
about her being on
all these big dogs
she was the only girl
as well
do you think that's
oh well
I guess it is
my mum always made sure
that she got female pets
because they're easier to train, she says,
and also they just get less cunty at some point.
But they do stop bleeding when you stab them.
Dogs get periods.
Dogs get periods.
I mean, dog owners do,
but anyone that doesn't own a dog,
that's always a big surprise to them.
Aye, I didn't know that. I mean, it makes sense now. Personally, I mean dog owners do, but anyone that doesn't own a dog, that's always a big surprise to them. Aye, I didn't know that.
I mean, it makes sense now.
Personally, I fought the late eggs.
Dog eggs.
Aye.
I'm a dog egg omelette.
Right, so they came out, the staff from the puppy class,
and just took the lead and was like, this is Peggy.
I don't know how they worked it out.
Well, okay.
So we got T-Rex.
We got Bulldozer.
Riot.
Thunder Ribs.
Yeah, all here.
And, ooh, who could Peggy be?
Where is Peggy?
Just looking,
casting her gaze just over the top of her head.
Peggy mustn't be here today.
So they just took the lead and went
alright so you're 12
and Ray Natalie's eyes just like
you know the welling up emoji?
Yes.
Our faces turned into the welling up emoji. our faces turned into the welling
up emoji yeah that's the one Cara
sends me whenever she sends pictures of Ray
yep
we were just like
she's just going to go in there alone
they're just going to come out and just give us the
leash
we are so sorry
just comes like out the end of the rope in jurassic park
they're like okay the good season we got back in contact with the farm oh no they know us
they just they ask for the replacement special this isn't the first time we've accidentally
done this we should learn our lesson maybe get less big dogs
next time, maybe we should just separate them in two
I think that
so there's photos and there's videos
and a report card coming my way
a report card?
a report card
so wait, how did our first class go?
so everyone, the dogs came out
one by one
like it was graduation
and they got
Took to the
Ora
And they got told
Like a little bit
About the dog
And all that right
And then
And then Piggy came out last
Oh
And
God that must have been terrifying
It was I think
Every dog just coming out
With just bits
Hanging out their teeth
Slightly fatter
Not a lot
But you can tell
They've eaten
I was like I was like Either you can tell they've eaten I was like
even though they've got bad news
and they're just prolonging the agony
or like my dog's got
detention
I don't know how my dog's got
detention but
if I could describe
Peggy in one word
it would be mighty
oh ok process that then I described Peggy in one word it would be mighty oh
okay
process that then
yeah
well I mean
the way I justify it already
is the
second worst
UFC champion
of all time
was Mighty Mouse
aye
yeah
aye
it's a very
it's a very like
you just
can't have that ironically
idea
yeah
aye
patronise
me dog
as mighty
mouse
the actual
mighty mouse
aye
mighty morphin
power rangers
were they that
mighty
or were they
beating up
people in
lycra
aye
just putting
on spandex
very few
things called
mighty are
actually
now that you
pointed it out
mighty weight
bread
like
you're hardly
seeing the
fucking mountain
that raids eating
maitie weight, are you? Termites. Easy to kill. Termites? Termites? Termites. Aye, plural.
One termite. Termite eyes. But like a bunch of termites. What else is maitie? The pen
is maitie than swords, but I don't know. It's not really, is it? The pen is mightier than swords But I don't know
It's not really is it?
No
We've already discussed this
Legs
Mightier than knives
Pens
Legs mightier than knives
I have just posted a video on it
That's why I remembered
When we were high in Amsterdam
I was saying I could kick me out of a knife fight
And you disagreed
I didn't say this
When we created the podcast
But when I'm telling everybody
about how real tough I am
in a knife fight,
in hypothetical knife fights,
you give the camera
such a sarcastic look.
Oh, man,
you're not going to enjoy
some of the clips
I've done in this episode.
I didn't know you'd been
doing that stuff.
I didn't know you'd been
giving annoying looks
down the lens of the camera.
Man, this is my version of The Office here.
Like, this is...
Man, if you were somebody that steamrollers
over all my jokes,
I know there's no way you're ever picking up
on any of my facial expressions.
That's a shame, that,
because I just thought you were, like,
just a knuckle on your chin,
just nodding away at everything I said.
Well, there weren't two gay people
outside who I thought
thought I was homophobic
so
there was no need
to be involved
in the conversation
that was very funny
yeah
fucking I thought
I was killing it
in conversation that day
we've been over it
we don't need to cover it again
Mighty
Mighty Joe Black
oh he died
at the end of me
how did he go
Harambe
was he the
the Mighty Ducks
oh
well
they are by the end
but they
and also I'm pretty sure
there's like four movies
and they probably lose
and a half of them
Mighty is only used
for the underdog isn't it
it's never used for like
so therefore in context
I guess that's why
she used it
with for
for Peggy
is because
she was the underdog
quite literally
literally
she was underdog
aye
aye
so apparently
she's been like
running around
and getting other dogs
to chase her
god I hope she's pregnant
I hope you had
the wrong fears
I did
and I'll try and have a period
less cleaning up to do
just more later
aye
she can't have had a period
yet can she
nah
it's about six months
aye
that's what I was going to say
because I know
cats start ovulating
dead early
like cats can give birth
at a frighteningly young age
and you're just like
oh that's a bit
that's weird
like most
most cats are nonsense
aye
oh yeah even in cat years even in cat years yeah like they're That's weird Like most Most cats are nonces Aye Oh yeah
Even in cat years
Even in cat years
Yeah
Like they're
They're banging like
12, 13 year old cats
Aye
Because we were
I was talking to Danny Mac
And he was like
A three year old dog
And he was like
That's 21
Aye
So like
Are the nonces
Even in like
If you take the cat years
If you take human consent laws
And the cat years In the equation human consent laws and the cat years equation
are they
are they still nunces?
still nunces
they might like
on all
on our side
and their side
they're all criminals
but
aye
I knew there was something up with them like
I think dogs are a bit more
oh maybe they're not
I don't know
I've never fucked a dog
but you have a cat
That's not what I said
No no no
No no
You alluded to it
Huh?
It's
It's the
It's the truth you omitted
Agree to disagree
So you say
You've never shagged a pussy
I've never shagged a pussy
Never seen one
I haven't seen one
Touched it
Oh my god
That was fucking
We had Scotty Day For about five minutes On I have never seen one I haven't seen one Oh my god That was fucking We had Scotty D
For about five minutes
On I have never seen Snatch
Were you not there?
No
Were you not?
Must have been Matty
I always get you too confused
Easy mistake to make
Me and international celebrity Matthew Kelly
He's known
He's known for something
Beast Speaking of nonsense Liberty Matthew Kelly he's known he's known he's known for something beast
speaking of nonsense
so
there
it was
someone mentioned
the film Snatch
and Scotty D went
I've never seen Snatch
and I'm like
you haven't seen Snatch
he's like
nah
you would think
it's something I'd be into
but nah
never seen it
I'd love to see it
and for like five minutes he just spun into, but nah, never seen it. I'd love to see it.
And for like five minutes,
he just spun on about how he'd never seen Snatch.
Worked on so many levels.
You know, the lead role in the main character in Snatch is called Turkish.
Jason Statham.
I didn't know that, but sure.
And Jason Statham isn't the first thing
that comes up
if you google Turkish statue
don't you fuck me with your
I'm spotting your faces now
I see them
you know what though
I honestly believe
that people that listen
to the podcast
can hear your faces
that you're pulling
I'm just saying
I've got very leathery skin
you have got
floppy skin like no i don't know what i said you are you are really um interesting to look at when
i was on acid the other day i why did you do that on accident well i took it i took it under false
pretenses daniel no you didn't under my own self-implied false pretenses, Daniel. No, you didn't. Under my own self-implied false pretenses.
Nobody misled me.
Nobody misled you.
I made an ass
out of
not you,
but I.
Yes.
By assuming.
Yep.
We had done our gig.
It was wonderful.
In Liverpool.
In Liverpool.
And I know we said
we'd do a podcast
with both Elliot,
Sheila and Milo,
but we didn't. We didn't, and I'll tell you for why. We I know we said we'd do a podcast with both Alex Hill and Milo, but we didn't.
We didn't, and I'll tell you for why.
We went to Paddy Pimlet's podcast studio
and guested on his podcast on a crossover episode.
No.
So we have done a podcast for you.
It's just on somebody else's platform.
Aye, but don't subscribe to his.
Don't you fucking dare.
You can watch it.
You can watch his stuff.
Don't you fucking subscribe.
Nah, give him a subscribe,
but we can have some of his as well.
We'll cross-pollinate.
No.
Pick one or the other.
That was a fun podcast.
That was the day after of my acid trip.
Yep.
So Elliot Steele had come with us.
He was just feeling a bit down in the dumps,
so he picked me up.
We're like, we'll get in Heathrow,
come with us to do the gig,
jump on the set.
So if anyone was at the Liverpool gig
you got to see Elliot Steele
make sure you
follow him on all his
social medias and stuff
he's a
you know him from the podcast
if you know G
he jumped on stage
and then in the evening
we went to Hot Water
because Milo was on
this was like
fucking Titan with Power Rangers
he is very camp
now we assembled we assembled.
Aye.
We assembled, and there was the four of us,
a couple of other people that we know very well from,
Hot Water, their staff and stuff.
Hot Water, the comedy club.
Aye.
And we're drinking around, right?
And the plan was, in my head, that we'll go to NQ64
after we've had a drink with Milo after his show
and we'll play some arcade games.
Now, if you've been to NQ64, you'll know it's trippy as fuck.
There's loads of, like, old-school arcade games,
but every single wall, every ceiling, every pipe, every cistern,
every surface is graffitied in, like, bright colours.
Neon, bright air.
Neon spray paint.
Aye, but, like, of, like, Bowser and Yoshi and spray paint. Aye, but like of like,
Bowser,
and Yoshi,
and then some names like,
planets and Saturn,
and,
Aye,
it's very cool.
And there's just constantly,
sensory overload of things to look at,
the music's always,
belter,
just,
I mean pinball's just fucking,
like,
I just,
I've never been in that environment on acid before,
right,
and then,
I had the opportunity of acid,
but it's like one in the morning,
probably a bad idea, at this point, know nq64 in edinburgh to be open till three i'm like it's gonna kick in i'm gonna get a good couple hours um but you said one
that's not when you took it no that's that's when i took it i kicked in a bit later
i was looking at my watch i remember seeing my watch like 126 and i was like no that's that's when I took it I kicked in a bit later you took it later
I was looking at my watch
I remember seeing my watch
like 1.26
and I was like
it's got to be able
20 minutes before it kicks in
now it's going to be
able 45
no I think that was
the mushrooms
because we both did
mushrooms powder
at around about
one
yeah we'd done that
much earlier
you think I've got
my times all wrong
I do
so but anyway
regardless of
of times
I come back in
right
from
I'd been outside
when I
when I put this tab
underneath me
underneath my tongue
which I still find it weird
saying tab
because tab means cigarette
in Newcastle
and you wouldn't put those
under your tongues
nah
push it into it
don't bomb back
nah
don't do that
so
I put I put the acetamin on my tongue
Left it there for a minute
Chewed it up
Swallowed it, right
And then
Even though it's going to take
A little while to kick in
I start getting a little bit like
Nervous
That like
I'm about to
Like, you know
You're cranking up a rollercoaster
You're about to get off to the other end
There's no return
Right
And I'm like
A bit druthy
And I go back and I go back in
I go back in
to get me paint
and Elliot Steel
had finished my paint
while I've been outside
aye
and the bar was shut
good boy
so
process this
I've just took acid
and discovered
me night's over
yep
because
I'm going like
let's go to NQ64
then my paint's finished
and then you were like it shuts it too and it was like half last one at this point
i mean and it would have took like 15 minutes to get there and i'm like and you didn't
know this until i went i just took acid why would you do that i'm like oh because I still had a pint when I got into NQ64 the night is still that bastard lasts
for fucking hours
even
even if
even if NQ64
was open
it's not open
until
9am
yeah sorry
I keep tapping
my cable off this
sorry about that
noise there
no
I mean Adam
so aye
it was still
a bad idea
but look
I just embraced it
right
we went back to the hotel
we watched norm mcdonald and jerry seinfeld and comedians in cars getting coffee and fucking that
was just great to watch because just uh my visuals are class right and then we watched the football
the highlights and i had to keep asking you like do do you see this? Do you see that? Is the tele blurring in this way? Because like I was, my visuals were changing,
but my control was very much the same.
I'd had a couple of drinks, so I was a bit tipsy,
but it didn't add to me like motor skills
or my ability to process my thoughts.
It just changed the input I was getting.
So just visuals getting so just visuals
and
I went downstairs when you guys
went to bed I went down in the lift
I actually know you didn't
this is the fun bit
you fell out of a window
no no
it was just the visuals
I went down a really fast lift
the lift really plummet, it was just the visuals. I went down a really fast lift. No, I mean...
The lift really plummeted.
It was glass.
And for some reason I got it up from my belly.
It's weird that they just changed the gravity at some point.
I assumed it was the one from the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Which, mad that he got rich off of chocolate
when he had one of those in his fucking thing.
He had what?
He had a lift, he had a magic elevator. elevator magic elevator that defied gravity in every single direction
right during the fucking i mean i can't don't know where it was set but it was at least after
world war i open with that i don't know why are you selling chocolate motherfucker what's this
don't open with a waterfall is a chocolate open with a big fuck off rocket lift why are you
selling chocolate you can get to the moon you can colonize another
fucking planet
you've got space
travel you've got
the Russians
I get it you can't
trap children with a
lift can you
well I mean
you probably could
aye
oh come see me
magic lift
it's not the same
as like yeah come
and see all me
chocolate fountains
I don't know
do you reckon the
Obalomas are like a
race of people or do you reckon he
Made them?
Or they're like an abomination
Or they're wonk as monsters
Did he create them?
Did he bring them to sentient life within the realm?
Or did he breed them?
That would be worse
It's all evil
If he designed them in a lab and built them
Is that worse than if he breeded them in captivity for slavery?
No, the second one's worse.
The second one, breeding them in captivity for slavery
is worse than bringing them into sentient life from nothing.
Yeah, yes, yes, definitely way worse.
You can't take an already formed life,
take away a bunch of its rights and then dehumanise it to the point...
But can you create abomination with no rights?
Yeah, yeah, because like, yeah.
I don't know why you're trying to be like...
Because all life would be valued as equal, right?
No, I'm not.
Fuck off.
This isn't Tennessee.
What are you talking about?
No, but if you create a life and it is life,
then you can't just treat that one like shit.
Yes, you absolutely can't.
And this one's breeded in.
It's a different type of life.
There were people before. And if I've invented this lifeed in it's a different type of life these were they were people before
and if I've invented this life
we don't know what type of life it is
I might have made it
from some other sort of deal
so hang on
if you like
harmed Dolly the sheep
that wouldn't be cruelty to animals
it would be cruelty to animals
it wouldn't be cruelty to human beings
it would never be punished
the shit
no but if you
if you cloned a human
you couldn't be
you couldn't be cruel to them
because they're not the same
I think you could
I think you could like
I mean
we'd have to do the
we'd have to do the
that's not what we're at here
he's not making clones
he's making small
things
right
and you've already
already said on this
fucking podcast
that we're all bionic
for some reason
we're all half
so in that theory
it's half of that as well
bionic
if he's created them
for the purpose of
building chocolate
then that's
definitely
it's still evil
but it's not as evil as
oh you're a bunch of people
I'm going to capture you all
I'm going to tie you all to slaves
and I'm going to make you reproduce
so you can run my chocolate factory
that's like the
top scale evil
and the best case scenario
is like maybe they're from another planet
and in his fucking big magical time,
but maybe he was the Time Lord
because doesn't the fucking Doctor Who
travel around in a big box?
I mean, it's a...
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do you think that's a Taurus?
Do you think that Elevate has a giant Taurus?
Maybe it is.
So maybe, maybe Willy Wonka
is actually Doctor Who
and he's just got bored for a bit.
But what he's
done is he's gone to another planet inhabited by oompa loompas right try to save the planet
none of that went well he managed to save like 50 of them and they were like look we've got nothing
else we'll just come with you and then he goes down to planet earth and he can't have them out
in the wild because he knows what human beings are like so he just starts turns out they're mad into making chocolate
and they're like
our way of repaying you
for keeping us alive
is
to make you
the world's best chocolate
that's the best case scenario
and do you think
you know
when they sing songs
do you think
that's all choreographed
do you think
maybe that's the song
for their whole planet
do you think
Willy Wonka
is like
look don't take this
the wrong way
I know I've
I've called you
Oompa Loompas because I didn't know what to name you, but will you sing this Oompa Loompa song that
I wrote? Where you're like, Oompa Loompa doopity do. And these little guys are just like, it's
kind of degrading. Do I have to? And he's like, yeah, I did. I did save all your lives. So, um,
but now you want us to, do I have to wear the cap? No, I mean,
you don't have to,
you don't,
you don't,
you don't have to do anything.
Like you're well,
I've saved your lives.
You can do whatever you want.
You've got freedom,
whatever,
but I'm just saying as someone that saved your life,
it would be nice if you.
Just because me and Steve,
we don't dress the same.
We don't look the same,
but you've got,
we're like wearing the same outfit and the same face paint and the same hair.
And he's like,
yeah,
but think of it like a dance
sort of thing
he's a bit
he's a bit more of a goth
you know
and I'm like
I'm a bit chavvy
this is
this is a place of work though
and you are
you are here to work
so let's just see
this is the uniform
work in Sydney
where it's like a paid
do we get money
the saving the life thing
like it's only been
a couple of years
and you
you live for
so if I don't do it,
will you take my life?
No, no, no.
I'm just saying it will go,
it will be written down somewhere.
So if I just go off and live my life
and get a normal job.
Good luck on the outside world.
I've not told anyone about you.
I won't always dress like this.
But you'll always be that height and that colour.
And you don't know that about this planet.
But we do not like different colours down here we do not like them at all and being heightest is one of the last ones
left that you're still allowed to be heightest man somebody you are like like you come from a
planet that's all you make chocolates all very happy you do one you don't know what a child is
not only that in fact you do you've seen them i've brought them up you brought them around the place but because i've
kept you in this shell of life you know you look kind of similar to children but you've got no idea
what pedophiles are and let me tell you i don't know what you're the greatest predator on your
planet planet is right so they get propaganda fear didn't it well it's not propaganda fear that is what's going to happen to them propaganda this myth of pedophiles
god god that's is that is that worse than a flat earther a pedophile
i just don't think it happens i just don't think it happens i've never seen it never seen it never
done it oh yeah look you can prove anything with like pictures Photoshop's amazing Yeah what's your source Yeah Nah I don't buy it
It's just too icky for me
I just don't
It's just so naive
It's just who would do that
Who would do that
I don't think anyone
Would do that
Yuck
Kids
Ugh
Not even sexy
Yeah
What would be the point
Who's that for
Yeah
Come on
Be reasonable
Kids don't have tits.
All right, then I'll sing the Oompa Loompa song. I'll fucking serve the chocolate in that leg.
Fucking I'll mop up.
There it is.
And this time with feeling.
But do-pa-do-do-do. And this time with feeling But But

So I went down in the lift
and it was mirrored.
It was four mirrored,
like a four mirrored lift.
Fucking what about that?
You know what?
It's kind of creepy to look at your own face
when you're on acid.
Now you know how we feel.
Oh, you mean... when you're on acid. Now you know how we feel. Oh, you mean everyone.
You meant the royal you, I see.
Yes.
Not the royal you.
But what do you mean by you're never looking at my face?
It's a very kind face.
Kind of ugly.
You have a kind face and you have a mighty dog.
That's the way we'll phrase both of those things.
And that should be the name of this episode.
Cain face, mighty dog.
Aye.
Aye.
Not Bionic Lumpa Lumpa.
I mean, maybe.
Bionic Lumpa Lumpa.
Lumpa Lumpa?
Is that the pro-evolution version?
Bionic Lumpa Lumpa does...
It sounds like a Northfielding bit.
Yes, that is true.
Now.
Nothing against Northfielding,
but also nothing for them.
But also, do not emulate. Yeah, like i've got nothing against the band but i'm not
i'm sure some people enjoyed my image he'd done a good job of making everybody random
in the randomness settle down into um into pattern so like to be random people would be like
rainbows and unicorns and then it'd become
less random because everyone was saying rainbows and unicorns and there was like a go-to random bit
so like being ultimately random made you step in line with a whole queue of muggles there was also
the uh the the anything ninja i did this thing On the train
And I was like some sort of train loon ninja
Or I was like some sort of railway ninja
And also like mixing
Like an emotion with a drink
I just tasted of like gin and regret
Oh aye
Like that sort of randomness
Yeah
Very like mad libs randomness
It was colour by numbers
randomness
came off the back
of him
not that
not what he was doing
no he was being random
no he was
no Phil do this
understand this is not
he was legitimately
being random
he was
and then everyone went
ooh that's what random
looks like
and then Russell Brand
was like
oh look I kind of
invented it too
and you're like
I don't think
you did I think you just kind of invented it too. And you're like, I don't think you did.
I think you just kind of took that.
Like you take most things that people don't want to give you.
Such as?
Nope.
Nope.
Nope means nope.
I was going down in the lift.
Aye.
And I was looking at my own face And
I
I don't know if it was the acid speaking
But I looked very old
Oh
Well okay
I looked really old in the mirror
I mean it's a combination
Of both the acid and
My face was contorting
I think like
Every like little line in my face
Laughter lines
And smile lines
And frown lines
And all the lines
That are the door post
Of my life
And all the lines
That you've taken
And every line I've taken
Every cigarette
I've ever smoked
Yep
Just exaggerated
Jesus Christ
How long are your
Fucking eyebrows
They've grown back
I mean the whole whole thing's...
Jesus, those are horrendously long.
Aye, I'll sort that out.
Sorry, mate.
You look like a fucking mythical woodland creature
in like Narnia.
That is like a Gringotts bank.
Do I look like I've got wisdom?
Aye, but only in your eyebrows.
I didn't know they could do that.
They could ever grow that long
I like the barbers that have a pop at them
They'd have to
I've never known it to be an option
Of course they're doing that
Jesus Christ man
This isn't what I'm trained to do
But it's in my domain
And if I weren't to get rid of this
The last time I went to the barbers
They didn't sort my eyebrows out
they just gave us an estimate
come back tomorrow we'll have the scaffolding
that is
because I get some really long nose hair
sometimes and I think nose hairs are the worst
I've been keeping on top of them
your nose hairs
I have, Cara got me
a real good nose hair trimmer for me Christmas
and it's one of the greatest presents I've ever been gifted.
I just hate nose hair, I think.
A nose got purposes, but not at that length.
And if they can't control themselves, I'll just chop them all down.
Have you ever done the fucking fire up the nose one
that they want to do at the Turkish party?
Aye, where they get the cotton bud on fire and they pat it. Aye. Have you done it? fucking fire up the nose one That they want to do at the Turkish party Aye where they get like The cotton bud on fire
And they pat it
Aye
Have you done it
Yeah
They do the ears
Nah it doesn't hurt
Just gets to like
Getting a bum fluff off the inside of the ears
And stuff
Aye maybe I should do that
Because I do
I fucking
Oh
Jim Owen used to have a very good joke
Which is
Do you know that your nose hair
The longest hair in the human body
Is the nose hair And it human body is the nose hair
and it's connected
to the arsehole
and that's why
when you pull it
you go
oh
I saw a sketch
and I think it was
Hale and Pace
remember Hale and Pace
no
oh it's from my childhood
it's like
just two blokes
that did sketches
probably if you look back at it probably problematic you know a 90s sketch show there's
probably a reason that it isn't aloha like streaming channels new is that there was a
couple of sketches where they're like oh but one of the sketches i really remember
and it might not have been hailing pace somebody can correct this in the comments
as I really remember and it might not have been
Hale and Pace
somebody can correct this
in the comments
right
but he started pulling
the nose hair
he was pulling it
and it was really like
making his eyes water
he was pulling it
and it was like
it was getting further
but not coming out
and then it done like a
his point of view
calm shot
of him pulling it out
and it landed in the sink
with his brain
and his spinal column
attached to it
he absolutely fatality'd himself.
I think it was Hale and Pace.
I can't, I've never heard of them.
Were they Geordie?
Well, Hale and Pace done the original
You're never gonna get this song out of your head,
out of your head, out of your head.
So they done like a sketch that was
You're never gonna get this song out of your head
and then fucking obviously
That's not the song.
And then obviously Joey Pasquale nicked it and done the I know a sketch that was you're never going to get this song out of your head and then fucking obviously and then obviously
Joey Pasquale
nicked it
and done the
I know a song
that'll get on your nerves
get on your nerves
get on your nerves
was that that one
yeah Joey Pasquale
is a fucking joke thief
I forgot that
there's a really
really good Stuart Lee

it's a long routine
about Joey Pasquale
not having the abilities
to create the joke that he stole and it's it's really long routine about Joey Pasquale not having the abilities to create

and I couldn't be arsed going through the family tree
for the research.
I wanted to talk about twins
and how I think we should
kill most of them.
I've started watching Instagram reels when I'm bored.
You creeped out by them i didn't i did
not think i had a problem with twins i bet you there's a name for a phobia of twins um rationality
so it's a it's it's it's an act it's a it's an accident in nature man and like on instagram
reels i'm probably getting the worst twins out there but it's like twins that are just like
creepy pale faced right
and they're like brothers and they're trying to do
like comedy sketches together and there's loads
of these by the way
because I keep like going
not interested because I don't want to see that
in my fucking feed because
it's gross but I've seen
more than four twins
with Instagram accounts that are like Instagram twin influencers.
Twinfluencers.
Twinfluencers?
That's what they call themselves.
Oh, gross.
Aha.
That's worse than two mateys.
And I've decided that
we don't have to kill them all,
but they do need to be tagged
and studied
because there's something not...
Keep an eye on them.
Keep an eye on them.
The same way we do with endangered animals, right?
That's what we'll tell them.
That's how we'll spin it to them.
We'll be like, oh, it's because you're so rare
and we want to take extra super special care of you.
It's like, mm, it's because you can do crimes.
I've seen the prestige.
I know what you're capable of.
And do you think the telepathic link between them is just a little bit alien absolutely fucking
and the and i man i do i reckon you get one twin and one i've just realized this is like a nazi
scientist no no no no you sound like a hydra scientist you sound like hydra
nazis are worse than Hydra
but Hydra were doing it
based on special abilities
weren't they
oh yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah I guess
yeah yeah
alright
thanks for saving me there
then I'm happy to continue
this as a Hydra scientist
because that's less sad
but aye
I reckon if you stab one
in the arm in one room
the other one in the other room
can tell you when it was
stabbed
and I reckon if you blow one of them the other one comes oh they're fucking they did it's come full circle
the string theory cock twins oh hey string theory
but i want to say i do think though so is this just from like you watched the shining and you
were a bit creeped out by it now now all twins are creepy have you met twins?
yeah me
one of Natalie's
childhood friends
who's now our friend
we discussed this
you can be unidentical twins
I accept that

who are unidentical
and they both support
different football teams
and fucking
yeah fine
individuals

But could I
Did I get close to them
No
No why would you
Because there's two
You can't get close to them
Oh wait wait I have
I watched
A fantastic double act
In Australia
They were fucking mint
They went on together
And they've done like
Set up punchlines
Between each other
Have you seen them before
Don't think so
does it ring a bell
it rings a bell
but I think there's like
two
twins
in Australia
and there's an
yeah that's how it works
they come in two
sets
you'd have
two sets
and there's another twin
where there's at least
one
set of twin comedians
in America
I can't remember
what they're called though
sorry
I can't remember what they're called though sorry em
I can't remember

and then there's
those twins that
were in the
21 Jump Street

I just don't

And I mean
They might listen to the podcast
They were fans of our work
But
Man if they don't know they're weirdos
Or that they were
Was that just us though?
Were they weirdos?
Yes
Or were we just creeped out by them?
Both is their responsibility.
This is the thing, man.
Like, identical twins.
They're not natural.
Find out what the name for the phobia of twins is.
It's surely got a name.
Figure.
And does it extend to you for triplets,
or is it just twins?
I don't know.
I've not seen any triplet fluencers
maybe that's because it doesn't scan.
Halfie phobia.
Halfie phobia?
Oh no wait no.
That can't be it. That's Fiera Natalie.
Halfie phobia
is a fear of being touched.
By twins?
No there you go. Halfie phobia.
Fear of twins. There is no fear of twins
You've coined it
What you saying

I don't know who
these people are.
You're just like,
oh, did you know, like,
Bob Duncan's is there.
Yeah, Roseanne Barr, sorry.
You're right.
Roseanne Barr is who Tom Arnold was managing.
Roseanne from Roseanne.
Oh, right, okay.
Roseanne fame.
Yeah.
Oh, crunchy back.
Did she do stand-up?
She did.
Was she good?
Like, back in the day,
she got, well, she got a TV show of it, so she was probably... Oh, so she'd come through the day Did you see her? She got
Well she got a TV show out of it
So she was probably
Oh so she would come through the channel to stand up
Yeah I mean that's how all American
That's how they all do it
They all become a stand up
And then the American goes
Let's write a show with
You in it
About you with your name on it
I always found that weird
When I started doing stand up
Is
I kept getting pushed to write scripts
And I was like that's a different
thing i didn't want to do that i think i tried a couple of times but i just my heart wasn't in it
i like stand up on stage and perform and i didn't like i didn't have it because i've got
aphantasia but like imagining the scenes isn't fun like i can i can process the scenes as data
and i know what lines are funny but like i can't can process the scenes as data and I know what
lines are funny
but like I can't
really pull a good
visual of the scene
my problem with it
is if man
if I write a joke
I can go on stage
tonight and tell
that joke and know
how it works
aye
you don't need to
get it past someone
aye
there's not somebody
who doesn't work
in a comedy club
being like I can't
let you tell that
joke on stage
tonight
oh can I not
even try it
nah sorry but I tell you what
we've come up with a version of this joke
we've weakened it
we've took the impactful
bit out of it because we thought it might be a bit too much
for our audience and we've softened the joke
so it's more palatable
but then the punchline doesn't make sense
because the punchline was in the juxtaposition
of the tones
and you also have something that happens at the end
that's kind of pivotal to that happening.
So that needed to be the way it was without being changed.
Otherwise, the dominoes are going in different directions
and it won't tip this one later.
Oh, so we're going to have to change that as well then.
So we're going to have to totally re-route your whole script
and the new route isn't funny.
But we're still going to put your name on it that you wrote it.
Is that okay?
He has a fraction of the money that was promised the new route isn't funny but we're still going to put your name on it that you wrote it is that okay? he has like a
fraction of the money that was promised
because it went through a bunch of different people
before it got here
aye
is that alright?
you're like
tell you what
can I just not write scripts?
can I just go back to do what I'm actually good at
which is
stand up
fucking comedy
aye
and even name
sometimes I'm not that great at that
I'm just being modest
I'm very good
what was the
Mitch Hedberg line again
about the
if you cook
and you like cooking
oh yeah
and you learn how to cook
then someone comes along
and is like
hey
can you farm
did we finish our stories
well my
acid story
was just going to end up with me going down in the lift,
uh,
enjoying the mirror,
even though it was kind of freaky,
it was like,
I enjoyed it in a weird way.
And I like,
it's not going to hurt us.
Just look into the mirror,
just embrace it.
Like if,
if you let yourself be freaked out,
you would freak out.
Yeah.
In a,
in a hall of mirrors on acid.
I am to kind of just but if you
just if you just stare at it and then look at it and enjoy it and just watch everything move and
accept that everything's moving yeah and it's grand and then i just walked down the mersey
and fucking fucking love this tide was outside just splattered off the wet sand and then the
tide would come back in and i would get wet and made satisfaction if i threw myself off the wet sand, and then the tide would come back in and I would get wet. Delayed satisfaction.
If I threw myself off the edge,
it would have really hurt because it was quite a drop.
And then the tide would have washed in
and then got us.
And then I would have probably been like
starting to sober up.
Like, oh, this is horrible.
So what I'm saying is
it's pleasant to me to realise
that would be shade.
And it's just nice because
just the way the city lights hit
the water and everything just looked glorious and i just i was quite content just like sat
sat watching the river for a bit it was um it was it wasn't as bad as like you know you go oh i took
acid it was a big mistake the night was over i just had a different night than the one i was
gonna have it wasn't a big social event but it was a much better one
for a bit of introspection
you know
just like
just chilling out
with my own thoughts
you're going to read out
what two shows
yep
um
Air
Inverness
and Auburn's Guildford
I think most of those
were sold out
but go check them anyway
um
um then Madrid we've added a show there I know I made fun of you most of those are sold out but go check them anyway then
Madrid
we've added a show
there
I know I made fun of you
for ages
you dirty lazy
Spaniards
so if you want to
prove me wrong
come out and see the show
then
Belgium
again Antwerp
Brussels
and then two shows
in Tallinn
Estonia
and also to any
American listeners
tell your friends
about the upcoming show
tell them about the podcast
get them involved because if this America Tour
sells out I stand to make
fucking bags of cash
stacks and bags of cash
but it has to sell out
if it doesn't sell a ticket
you're ready to lose bags of cash
so just let's
find a balance guys
You can make me
You know how I'm
A miserable bastard
If I sell this out
Oh boy
I'll be
I'll be
I'll be
Struggling to be
A miserable bastard
For several years
So
Come out and see it
Tell your fucking friends
To come buy several tickets
And then I can
Finally retire
At the ripe old age
Of 31
I won't do that
That's not what will happen. Please come see the shows.
And
we'll see the Patreons on Thursday
where the people who are
on the Your Dad tier
are going to be granddad soon.
Do you want
some sparkling water?
No. Why? Because sparkling water
is horrendous.
That's not the bit.
Why do you not like sparkling water?
Because it's not enjoyable.
Same reason I don't like fizzy air.
This isn't the bit.
You do this wrong every time.
It doesn't scan.
It doesn't work.
No, we've not done...
You're dad jokes!
It's not the end of the podcast!
Have you got your dad jokes?
Yes!
It's the...
Why do you insist on...
This is right.
So I wouldn't let you ruin the start of the fucking show.
I wouldn't let you ruin the start of the show
with your shitty little jingles.
So you're like,
I'm going to come from the other end
and I'm going to butcher the end of it
by getting rid of our normal ending and doing a bit that does not scan. You should have done the bit on while you're like I'm going to come from the other end and I'm going to butcher the end of it by getting rid of our normal ending
and doing a bit
that does not scan
you should have
learned a bit on
while you're doing it
you stop talking
when I press it
that's not the bit
that's not the bit
the bit is
you get angry
and you get angry
when you have
dad jokes
your dad
your dad got
coke dick
and the wind changed
and it stuck like that
I remember that from the car the other day.
Have you honestly not read any?
Nah.
Lazy bastard.
How are they in part of me dad?
Your dad became a card-carrying member
of the KKK
because the movie
White Men Can't Jump
started it.
Your dad cannonballs in the shower.
Either that or he's holding onto his knees
and crying in there for some other reason.
Just caught the end of it.
Your dad did a nude calendar for dogs
called Fetching Young Boys.
And no matter how many times I explained
all dogs are technically naked,
he still insisted it be sold as adult content. young boys. And no matter how many times I explained all dogs are technically naked,
he still insisted it be sold as adult content.
Your dad charges your mum's vibrator with a giant hamster wheel as it's the only way of getting out of breath to satisfy your mum that he can think of.
These are good.
Why did I not write any?
And your dad does a camp voice Whenever he phones 999
