We forgot to do an intro. Here's your podcast. accidental rim job in the park. Kiss, kiss, kiss. Or might just be cynical. Just muggled it up on fucking Mugglopedia.
Where have you been since 9-11?
Before we go any further,
quick two-minute apology and announcement,
and then I don't want to speak about it again.
And then it's going to be the
Pretend to be Fine podcast.
Yep.
Yesterday, we had to cancel the show in Aberdeen
because there was a colossal fuck-up on our end,
and by our end, I mean from my tuning company and my management.
This was completely and utterly avoidable,
but it was not avoided because people were trying to save face,
and it meant there were a bunch of people in Aberdeen
standing outside waiting for us to gig
while we were sat on a tarmac in London.
And we're very sorry to all the people that couldn't get tickets. We have rescheduled
I think we're going to try and go for
January the 28th
We're very sorry
if it makes you feel any better
I am still filled with
a seething white hot rage
for two individuals
who are supposed to have
our best interests at heart and our fans
best interests. No, no, no, it's not a discussion.
This is a statement.
No, no, I'm joining.
Go on, you make your statement.
It only happened to you.
But I don't want to get into it.
We've had too many podcasts in the past
where it's just us ranting and bitching
and it's not good content.
So I'm sorry to the people of Aberdeen.
It shouldn't have happened
and I would love to say it won't happen again.
And I can assure you it won't happen again,
because if it does happen again, several
people are fired.
I think
people will be able to relate that work in
jobs where there's like an office upstairs
where you go, oh right, the people
that are at the spreadsheet aren't really
thinking about the people on the ground. No.
That's not people that they're playing with. And you think
with an industry like this, it would be a little bit more... People who are supposed to be a little
bit more personal. People who are supposed to have you back and are supposed to care about
your well-being and your mental health actively and consistently making decisions that directly
affect those things. There's a couple of things at play like to not whinge too much
we started the
UK tour immediately
after getting back
off the USA tour
so it was already
off to a bad start
because we'd just
get the taste of
being back home
in fact just enough
to do our laundry
and it was like
I would have
probably been better
off for it
psychologically
if we'd just
powered through
you get a little taste of home.
Like, I went back, I had a welcome home party.
My wife, she put a hot tub, she hired a hot tub for us.
We had all kinds in for cocktails.
We had a belt of time.
And that was welcome home.
And then I was just gone again after two days.
You're maxed out on anybody.
Oh, is it not plugged in?
Oh, shit.
Also, like, to move on from this
you've just
this is
this is a technical difficulty
as we'll have today
if anybody's watching this on YouTube
you're going to get to see me
keep getting up
and wiping the lens of the camera
yep
this is because
yesterday when I went off
the day before yesterday
when I went off
on tour out of Brighton
I put all the podcast stuff
in the boot of the car
so Natalie could bring it here
without having to lump it in
aye
obviously we've just had
the coldest weather
this winter
yep
so all the stuff's been
freezing cold
in the boot of my car right
and I've set up
straight after you've been
on the peloton
just over there
I went for a rage ride
this morning
he had a rage ride
and sweated out
a fraction of the anger that he's feeling.
And that's still floating in the air right now.
And when I set up all the cold tech,
it's all, feel it, it's all sopping wet.
It's a bit better now, actually.
But the camera lens keeps steaming up.
So if ever it gets like you're watching it
through frosted glass, that's Daniel's rage sweat.
Sorry, we're having a very, very steamy podcast.
Now that I'm not...
Done?
Yep, the professionals who know they fucked up know they fucked up.
They are allegedly sorry.
And we will find out whether that's true based on their actions in the future.
In order to change the subject, i have a very important question for
you what do you think would be the most satisfying way to kill every member of american airline staff
not necessarily efficient it doesn't have to be efficient like we're not trying to like get rid
of them across the board wipe them off the face of the earth. What's like for you, for your soul,
for your heart and for your mental health,
what would be the most enjoyable way
to kill every single one of them?
Right, I think for every time they've been rude to someone,
they get pricked with a pin.
Oh, okay.
So like death by a thousand cuts.
But like by 150,000 pricks.
But it's the self-harm
of every time they've pricked somebody.
Aye.
And I can assure you
if you work for American Airlines
and even if it's just a small pin
every single member of staff
will bleed to death by the end of this.
If your company fucks up
don't take joy in it.
Aye.
Don't take joy in the people
you've fucked it up for's day being ruined.
I can't believe.
It's a culture.
This is the thing.
It's not just, you know how sometimes you can go,
oh my God, fucking the staff at Minnesota are all fucking patronising, right?
You can do that with a talent.
Yeah, they've got that Minnesota nice thing.
It's like in Paris, right?
In Paris, they're like, we're just rude here.
And you're like, all right, well, I'm not coming back then if that's your overriding personality trait. But I
get it. You're a capital city and you're a capital city that a lot of tourists come to. I understand.
I don't respect it, but I do understand. And it's your home, right? But that's the culture of a
place. Yes. Right. That's the culture of a place. However, American Airlines have got a toxic
culture within the ranks. and it doesn't matter if
you're in a like a place where everyone's hospitable like new orleans the the culture
within american airlines is to treat you like a cunt man you could be in the nicest part of
we were in the south and look i know people have different opinions in the south but it's
hospitality they're known for it yeah southern hospitality and we say this is two white men
and so obviously it's different for us with accents they love us
southern hospitality is is really good like i love going down south people are so friendly hey y'all
how y'all doing like friendly smile eye contact and still somehow american airlines just finds
people who were abused as children uh were, just have some sort of mental illness,
where there's like,
you know that guy that had a tumor in his brain,
that made him fancy kids?
Aye.
Just one.
One,
they've just got all,
some fucking tumor in their head,
that just makes them so angry.
The thing that pisses me off most,
right,
I get it,
like you're dealing with,
you're dealing with so much staff every day,
and you're dealing with,
you're not staff,
you're dealing with so much of the public every day,
and you're not only that
and it probably is that
they're probably dealing with each other
and they're probably really underpaid
and they probably hate the company they work for
but you're also dealing with the American public every day
and that's Karen's
and that's all the other Americans
what really upsets me the most about it is
quick pop quiz
what's my favourite company in the entire world?
British Airways
the greatest company in the world
I'm not even sponsored by British Airways and I'll tell you right you're not even put off company in the entire world? British Airways. The greatest company in the world. I'm not even sponsored
by British Airways
and I'll tell you right off.
You're not even put off
by the fact they're called
British Airways.
You're just like,
okay, I'm going to give you that
because you provide a good service
and if the rest of Britain
was like that,
I'd like Britain.
I'd be a flag shagger.
Man, even yesterday
during the fuck up,
like British Airways,
like there was,
we got to the terminal,
we were trying to get a flight
to Aberdeen,
we knew there was going to be
one leaving in 45 minutes
and there was a huge
fucking queue
at everything
for a checkout
Kai runs past
this lovely British Airways woman
who can clearly see
that he's flustered
Jackie
Jackie aye
and he was like
we need to get on this flight
we don't have a ticket for it
we're booked
just get a taxi from Southampton
we've got a show tonight
I literally poured it on her
we're stressed and worried
and she went okay she calmed me down stressed and worried. And she went, OK.
She calmed me down.
She calmed you down.
And she went, OK, very subtly, both of you, I'm not allowed to do this.
Follow me and don't make a scene.
And she cue cut us all the way there.
She sat down.
She couldn't get on the phone to the ticketing company.
So instead what she did, she knows she has a friend who works in ticketing.
And she used her personal mobile to phone this person and go hey I've got two lovely guys
and I'm just there going
give this woman
every promotion in the world
give her all of the money
that ever existed
but this is just
it's just
British Airways
they just
I tried to get us
onto a flight
that was about to take off
in 25 minutes
and she couldn't
and she was gutted
yeah she was like
I'm really sorry
if you want
I can try and get you
on the Glasgow flight and maybe you'll be able to like drive up she was like, I'm really sorry. If you want, I can try and get you on the Glasgow flight
and maybe you'll be able to like drive up.
She was coming out with solutions.
She couldn't have done more.
She could not have done more.
Jackie from British Airways,
he threw Terminal 5.
You were the only good thing
about our day yesterday.
You are a diamond
and also to all British Airways staff,
thank you so much
for being human beings
and treating human beings
like human beings.
The fact that British Airways are partnered
with American Airlines
is the difference between glitter and Gary Glitter.
That's like, one of them is like a fun thing
that you bring out at children's parties
and you decorate it, it's fun for everyone.
And one is a pedophile that fucks children.
Ruins children's parties.
Like, that's the fucking,
I cannot imagine two companies that belong less together
other than like maybe PETA and a Butcher's.
Like, your goals are the opposite.
British Airways goals is like,
let's get this done in the easiest and kindest way possible.
And American Airlines is, you know what?
I reckon if we keep pushing them we can get a white guy to do 9-11 i really really fucking reckon if every single
member of our staff are undereducated horrible fucking staff an atheist is going to hit the
freedom tower man it's the only thing I get.
And by the way, if you work for American Airlines,
I'm not legally allowed to say end your life.
But end your...
But can we say it like as if it were the noise next door?
End.
Your.
Life.
There.
Right?
And this is what it's like as a partnership
with British Airways and American Airlines.
You know when one of your mates has just got a shit partner?
Like, one of your girls just brings a lad out with them
that just gets into fights and causes trouble
and can't handle two beers.
Natalie's partner does, my lad.
You know how your mate abuses that plus one?
Yes, aye.
And gets somebody invited to weddings and shit
that shouldn't be there
because they're not on the same level as your friendship group.
Yeah, yeah.
That's what British Airways
and American Airlines is
it would be like
you go
hey
you go to the cinema
and you go to
one of the
deluxe cinemas
where it's like
the massage chairs
and you can order
stuff to the table
and they come out
with booze
and it's nice
it would be like
turning up there
and they're like
hey
unfortunately
the deluxe
it's just it's just
close today we can't we can't do it but we're gonna we're gonna make you watch wonder woman 1984
but we're but we're gonna make you watch it on the back of them we're gonna make you watch on
a meth addict's phone while he tries to sell you heroin and tells you all of his business ideas
and you're like i just i cannot like it would be like it's right it would be here's what it is it and tells you all of his business ideas. Like, I just, I cannot.
Like, it would be like,
here's what it is.
It would be like me going in Aberdeen yesterday.
Ladies and gentlemen, we're so sorry.
Daniel Sloss, his flight is grounded in London.
He can't get to Aberdeen.
We know you were so fucking excited to see him,
but sadly he's not here.
So we've got the next best thing Peter Kay some people would love that
yeah but not my fans
that would really trim the herd for you
yeah
yeah yeah yeah
oh maybe I should do that
like just go
do that ladies and gentlemen
please welcome to the stage
Peter Kay
and anyone that cheers
I'm like
security
those are out
those aren't my fans.
I don't want them to be my fans.
Off you fucking pop.
Garlic and bread, though.
He's so shit.
And he's a cunt.
I just want everyone to know that.
Peter Kay, notoriously, one of the most known facts about him on the circuit
is that he is a horrific human being to everyone he works with.
Steals his friends' material.
Steals his friends' material.
Steals his friends' work.
Just a big, big bastard of a man.
And not funny to boot.
Well, again, he's got it all.
But he's a grafter.
That James Corden ethic, that capitalism.
Well, I mean, James Corden's another one.
Have we spoken about the James Corden Reddit AMA?
I don't know what that means.
So you know on Reddit, you know Reddit.
You're aware of it.
Yeah, I feel like I'm a bit of a boomer when it comes to Reddit.
Reddit was cool.
Reddit was cool, and I say that in air quotes because it was never cool,
but it was popular like seven to ten years ago.
You know when I first started hanging out with you and Little Ali?
Yes.
You were banging to Reddit.
I wasn't, he was. He he was i've never been into reddit but uh how long did
you not get chive off reddit oh my just being an absolute like no no i got chive off of alley
maybe he got it off of there right all right because i remember you as well like such internet
nerds and that wasn't my world really yeah like my world was msn and hot or not. I remember MSN.
You're a tail ender.
MSN Messenger.
I remember the birth of MSN.
MSN Messenger we're talking about, yeah.
Yes.
So you come home from school, right,
and you've not spoken to any of the girls
that you want to speak to in high school
because who's got the courage to do that?
So you go home and you go on MSN Messenger
with all your friends
and you add people via their emails
and everyone's got
like different fonts
of their names
and there's always
like My Chemical Romance
quotes
and all their best friends
written out there
and conversation
goes the same every time
when the girls
you're like what on
let me ask
last one come on
I was like
oh there's
drink treble C
double stay single
I'm going to chat to her
what was your name
oh no he has red hot ice queen straight me too they were me too I was like Oh there's Drink Treble C Double Stay Single I'm going to chat to her Wait what was your name?
Oh no He has Red Hot Ice Queen

They were my two favourites
To chat to
No but
Were these people
In your school
Or were you just
On chat with them
One of them was
My ex-lass
Who I would try
And booty call
So when she was on
I was like
Oh I might be able
To get a lead
Booty call when?
How old are you?
After I broke up
How old are you here?
When you were on MSN I still lived with my parents Aye So How old are you? After I broke up. How old are you here? When you were on MSN Messenger?
I still lived with my parents.
Aye.
So how old were you?
You were on MSN Messenger at 21!
I think we last for 17!
No, it's just...
Of course, you're a generation above me,
but for me, MSN Messenger is just such a it's just such a
teenage
angst
thing
we were all out there
trying to get laid
wait that was
your Tinder
that was our Tinder
really
I put Tinder
for people you knew
you'd like
you'd get that
fucking MSN
when you're
chatting them up
with boss
and I'd chat to them
and if they didn't
reply to you
you'd fucking
nudge them
knock on the window
you can remember that gif it was like you could't reply to you fucking nudge them knock on the window he's thinking
remember that gif
it was like you
could make a gif
pop up that like
actually knocked
on that window
oh no
I saw a fucking
belt I tweaked
the other day
that went viral
if you know what
ASL means
how's your back
age
sex location aye it's so funny that you just Age, sex, location
Aye
Aye
It's so funny that you just go
Before I start
How old are you?
Let's get it the way
I'm not looking at you
Aye
I don't want to get in a deal
Look that's good
Tell us how old you are
Straight off the bat
That's good
How old are you?
What gender?
No homo
What gender are you?
Aye
And where do you live?
How much petrol
is there any point
in this conversation
look straight
out the butt
is this conversation
worth it
yeah
and after that
I'll work out
whether you're interested
but first
we need to work out
if I'm interested
or if I am interested
whether I'm going
to jail or not
I had entire
I had like
an entire
relationship
on
MSN Messenger.
I remember...
I got semi-catfished on it.
Aye?
Aye.
I ended up having a really in-depth relationship
with someone on text that we never met,
and I just gathered that she didn't exist,
is who she said she was,
and the pictures weren't real.
But I was chatting with her for a while.
It wasn't like...
I didn't get catfished on the scheme of things.
This would be, like, turning up to an AA meeting
because I'm getting off cigarettes.
It was, like, base level.
I got duped by somebody,
but I wasn't that emotionally invested in it.
You didn't tell her your dick pics or anything?
Nah.
Nah.
I've never, I've never been mad for dick pics.
Like, I've sent dick pics before
when girls were like
wanting insurance policies
so that they would send
boobs
I'll do that
and I get that
I understand that
but I've never been like
thinking that
they'd ever want to see it
well see
I
I would
normally have agreed
with you
there
because like
and I
maybe this is just like
a male perspective
and a very
like blinkered male perspective.
Remember how I was, that fucking rant I did where I was like,
who wants to watch a man eating pussy in porn?
And everyone was like, well, it's not just for you.
All those fucking, you've got your own porn feminists.
Enjoy it.
I feel like there are, like I, after speaking to Cara
and with people in the past who have said dick pics too,
the time girls are like, man, I love dicks.
Like, not only do I love dick, I love dicks. Like,
I think,
not only do I love dick,
I like your dick,
of course I want to see it.
because to us,
it's just like such a gross,
weird protrusion that we're ashamed of half the time.
Like women's bodies,
and again,
maybe this is just a matter of perspective,
but like I do,
women's bodies,
they're just,
there's so much more to them and to look at.
And like the, like the breasts are there and they're either there's so much more to them and to look at and like the breasts are there
and they're either
big and small
and all the curves
are there
and the vagina's there
and it's like hidden
but it's not
sometimes
it's too
whereas a dick's just like
hiya
hiya
hiya
can
am I sexy
like this
do I like
who wants to
masturbate
to me
like a chin chip
a chin chip
like this is
are we being
straight supremacists here
like by assuming
that nobody wants
to see a dick
yeah
we definitely are
like I
I want to
I want to see a dick
but like
out of morbid curiosity
like if Mark Nelson
was there right now
and he was going to get his copy,
do you think I'd be like,
oh Mark,
no,
I'd be like,
I don't give a look.
Ew.
Ew.
Why am I still looking?
Ew.
Don't do that.
I wouldn't be like,
send us a pic.
But I guess it makes sense
because look,
as much as we're like, maybe girls feel that way. They're like, why do you find because look as much as we're like
maybe girls feel that way
they're like
why do you find fanny sexy
and we're like
because all the good bit
of it's inside
it's a mystery
like from the outside
it looks so small
and this
but like the way it feels
it's just
how does it
the echo
it's a pocket of promise
how is this
how does this
small dainty thing
on the outside
make such good things
happen
and also man gays must love dick pics
you reckon because I
yeah I mean they definitely do
they definitely love
man they get, gays get thirsty over
like fucking, not even just gays
women as well, straight women get thirsty over
like if you've got grey sweatpants on
they like the outline of the,
if you can see the outline of the ball be.
Like, like, uh, you're going in Pittsburgh,
you'd have the mouse slipping off the seat.
I was watching from the wings, I was like,
you've probably got your cock good.
Just the way the light was hitting it.
I didn't have that problem.
I also posted...
Same joggers, same lights, didn't have the problem.
I posted a photo, when we were in, uh,
I think we were in San Francisco,
I took a photo of me
under a sign that said
Pratt
because I am hysterical
and I was in me
trackies
and I was baked
and Cara took a photo of it
and I just posted it
but I genuinely did it
just because I looked like a Pratt
I had my backward baseball cap on
and I don't wear hats
the only reason I was wearing hats
was because we'd done
the Orpheum
and they'd given away free hats
well not given away free hats
they'd had an Orpheum hat
with Daniel Sloss
tour show on it
and I just thought
that was very very cool
so I wore that
me trackies
and I'm smoking
out of the thing
take the photo
put it on Instagram
and it's very
I sincerely meant it
as a look at the
fucking state of me
like yes I'm having fun
but I'm still objectively
like a giant fucking loser
who's just very lucky.
And then I went back on like 25 minutes later and checked the comments and people were just putting in the aubergine emoji.
And like, turns out you could see the outline of my dick.
Ah, you're thirst baiting.
And I said to Cara, I'm like, I didn't know.
And she was like, I knew.
I knew when I took it.
So do you think girls like the hidden promise of dick rather than the actual full blown picture of the dick?
Well, maybe. There's literally two women in the other room and we're like, we could ask them. girls like the hidden promise of dick rather than the actual full blown picture of the dick well maybe
there's literally
two women in the
other room and
we're like we
could ask them
but no we're
just going to
speculate
no no but they
don't want they
only want to be
on the patreon
podcasts and
Karen really
liked the feedback
that she got from
the other one
and even Natalie
liked the feedback
that she's got the
confidence to come
on at some point
but yeah Natalie listened to it and she was like I want to come on at some point. Yeah, Natalie listened to it
and she was like,
I want to go on now.
Good.
Yeah, she was like,
oh, that's actually like
broke me fear of it,
listening to Cara on it.
I do, I do.
It added such good balance,
didn't it,
having Cara on?
Aye.
I do wonder,
women, right?
So like the,
and this goes out to gays as well,
anyone that likes cock, right?
Anyone that's a fan of cock.
Like,
if you like the outline of the cock, right?
In the jeans.
Like, do you, is like part of it the mystery of like how big does that get?
Or is it like when you see like a big one,
do you want it to like get bigger than that?
Or are you like, oh my God, it's that big there.
That's perfect.
Like what's the,
because I know big cocks are like,
not everyone likes big willies
it's like the
anticipation isn't it
it's like you know
horror movies where
they don't just show
you all of the action
it's all about the
suspense like American
Werewolf in London
it's more about the
fucking worry of it
happening
the worry
the fact I'm calling
it a horror story
and saying worry
yeah yeah I feel
like you've missed
the American worry
story that's the
yeah so it might be
just the anticipation is way better
than, like, you know, when you get the horror,
that's just full-gone.
You're like, ah, that's just...
I don't need to see that.
Well, because I guess...
Because, I mean, what's the...
Men don't really like the mystery of it.
The last is, like, body pics.
Well, not ours, but I reckon other ones.
Such a sad story, but yes. Like, I reckon they, such a sad story but yes
like I reckon
they like
maybe they don't
because like
I've definitely heard
like some women
and they're real adamant
also we're
we're totally generalising
so many people at once
like everybody
everybody's gonna have
their own
yeah but that's
man we're doing comedy
like anyone that's
this is the thing
about comedy
because you're making
generalisations
and you go
yeah welcome to comedy
because without making a generalisation I can't make the punchline in the example i wish
to make like it's this this isn't a political speech that i'm not running for office i have
to make generalizations well we're gathering data and then and then presenting data in specific ways
so that we can make a punchline off of it we're misrepresenting or spinning it around
body pics
do you think
that's a myth
that you know
how like
you'll see some
clickbaits about girls
like dad bods
I don't think it's a myth at all
like if we're talking
about statistically
if you're going to
generalise based on
the highest number
do you think the majority
of girls
like a dad bod
yep
100% or do you think they'll
just like they're cool with a dad bod that rather you just had a personality that rather you were
happy they were rather that year had motivation in life and like yeah you were caring and loving
and there's so many things that come before body that they'd much rather have a guy with a dad bod
who's got all of those things than a fucking bimbo that's a bit of a selfish prick that's got a nice
body right but if they could have all of those things in a guy bimbo that's a bit of a selfish prick that's got a nice body right but if they could
have all of those
things in a guy
plus he took care
of himself
do you think
the majority
statistically
the mean average
would prefer
somebody that
was just
looked like
The Rock
no no I don't
not quite The Rock
because some movies
that's like a bit
too far on the gauge
but you know
just somebody that
no man I reckon they like Mickey off off snatch no i reckon they want fucking like chris
pratt from the parks and rec days this little tubby guy i handsome handsome handsome nice
genuinely because man i look i used to be in decent shape you were a very good nick at one
point and you remember natalie couldn't give a fucking shit the shape you were
it was all for you
it was all for you
and man I remember
when I was going to the gym
and that was when
I was shagging around a lot
it wasn't for them
that was for me
to like
you know
that bothered me
a little bit
when I
had onion
in my head
that bothered me
a little bit
when I
because I got myself
in ridiculous shape
like it was fucking
stupid
like it took too much
to get there
right
it was insustainable
for a man in his 30s
yeah
so eventually
she just wouldn't even
glance up
and I'd be like
I'm wasted on her
like
I like that
look
I'm in
that's not why
she got with me
no
she got with me
because I'm class crack
sure
and that's what
she looks up for
looks up for the banter
aye
for the quips
the puns
the relentless jokes
aye
they're having something
to say for every
every situation
I think
Cara is
now
I'm in the
I'm in the
worst shape I've ever been
in my life
and I'm
genuinely fine with it
aye let's be real
so is she aye aye well that's so her thing is I'm in the worst shape I've ever been in my life and I'm genuinely fine with it let's be real so is she
aye aye well that's so her thing is
like I'm in the worst shape I am and the reason
I want to start working on it
that's why it's funny
she's a fat cunt
there we go just in case anyone
missed the previous episodes
no no no I'll also not have
fucking anyone on the outside
tell me what I meant by my actions and my words
and what my relationship is.
If you want to fucking project onto this,
why don't you project her vomit your shit elsewhere,
you fucking morons.
And also, I don't think our fans do that.
I think that was just you putting in an unnecessary caveat.
She's a fat cunt because she's pregnant.
And she doesn't want me to,
she doesn't want me to be,
she's like, don't get into shape.
And I'm like, I would really like to,
because I'm in dad mode now. Like I'm off booze, I'm off want me to be, she's like, don't get into shape. And I'm like, I just, I would really like to, cause I'm in dad mode now.
Like I'm off booze.
I'm off weed.
Oh yeah.
How's that going?
I mean,
yesterday was a fucking challenge.
I,
you've done really well
not to drink yesterday.
And I was going to look out for you,
you know,
after you started drinking
in the lounge.
I was,
I was ready to stop you.
I was ready to give you
a couple of slaps on the wrist.
And then I was like,
put like, we could get around this, but again, this isn't the fucking, this is just a, it doesn't, to stop you i was ready to give you a couple of slaps on the wrist and then i was like but like
we could get around this by again this isn't the this is just a it doesn't because i
think the the whole key is if you could have one and then carry on going then have it and i would
have had that conversation where if he can guarantee to me you can have this drink the day
and then tomorrow's a new day or start on the first of the month that was a false start
and if you could if you were to me,
like,
nah,
if I drink this,
I'm fucking,
I'm done.
I wouldn't,
I would have.
Booze,
booze.
I would have had your back.
I was ready for the conversation.
I'm in control of booze.
I'm objectively not in control of weed.
And that's why,
that's why I've got to come off.
And that's my problem with booze,
is if I do have booze,
I'll just go,
oh,
well,
now I'll have a,
I'll have a, I'll have a spliff.
And I felt really bad about last night.
Sorry about last night, by the way.
I was quite loud in the house.
And you had to text us saying, shut the fuck up.
All right, please.
I did say please.
You did say, shut the fuck up, please.
And you did text me both.
All right.
But me and Colin were having a lovely time.
We both had a tough day.
But I have tough days by like i talk about everything if
i've got a problem i wear like i want to just thrash it out i want to talk to every angle
i couldn't talk to you about it yesterday because you didn't want to talk about it yeah no you
want to internalize it you want to get mad at the people who it was because of you didn't want to be
appeased because you liked being in that pocket of anger because you had someone to point it at
yeah and also i don't want i do not want to
fucking calm down if you have fucked me over if you have absolutely fucked over right i'm not i'm
not calming down these are the fucking consequences of your actions and i'm i am gonna fucking
compress all of this hate into a fucking diamond and tell you exactly how i fucking feel um you're you do not get to ignore my feelings
and my emotions just because time has passed so like i'll yeah and i don't you're not getting
away with this i'm making sure you don't which means i'm going to stay angry even if it hurts
on the inside yeah 100 so like i've got this way of like when i'm when i'm in that pocket of having
a shit time and i feel like the fucking world's on top of us like if i was being tortured i'd
laugh at myself for being tortured like oh look at me get my nails pulled off it's my way of processing stuff
and that wasn't washing with you yesterday you didn't want anything to do without it was making
any worse so i just separated myself from you and just like watched me fucking stuff and i still
hadn't processed it because i don't process it by internalizing i was processed by externalizing
and then last night he went to bed,
and I was like,
oh,
finally I can just fucking talk freely about this,
and I just started fucking offloading me day onto Cullen,
and he was like,
class cracker,
and then he was like,
shut the fuck up please,
and I felt so bad,
because I was like,
if you're awake to the point that that's keeping you up,
that means you should be down here,
and you're having a drink,
and you can't because
you're off the drink no i was like i ideally in an ideal world you would have fucking had a whiskey
with her last night and had a bit of a spliff last night with her and you didn't have that option
it's like a release valve i didn't i did not want to calm down uh i was i was completely and utterly
wholeheartedly fucked over by several people that were meant to have my best interests at heart.
And I do not want those feelings to go away
because I do not want them to be minimalised.
I was actually texting Neil about it quite a bit yesterday
because he's...
Wouldn't have happened if he was here.
That's what I was saying to him and all I was going,
because Neil is so fucking good at his job, man.
And I was texting him because even though I'm, like,
I'm texting Natalie in the group chat with my mates and all that, right,
who are comics, who understand what it's like to be on the road,
he is the one person in the world who knows exactly
what we've just went through.
And he knows exactly what it's like to be on the floor, right?
And I was saying to him yesterday, like,
we are conditioned to trust the process.
So when we've got this fucking spreadsheet
if you've got to be here for then you've got to be in southampton for this logan air flight
thing we've got a taxi there right we just trust that process when we get to southampton the flight
hasn't existed since august and you're just like what the fuck do we do now and then like we have
to get a taxi to a flight that we'll miss that's what we're days right neat that wouldn't have happened under neil neil would have realized that there was storm warnings and stuff
right and he would have checked the flights just to make sure everything's going on time he would
have he would have fucking checked us in the day before you would have checked us in the day before
so what i was saying to him is we're conditioned to trust the process and he is part of the process
a massive part he's the biggest part of the process for us and if you take that away
but continue to trust the process
then you're trusting something that isn't there
Well I mean it's also, look
let's not get into it
Yeah let's not get into it too much but
what got us on to it?
What about Neil?
Last night you drinking too loud
Oh yeah that yeah and me being
off the booze
genuinely sorry
about that
because that's not
what you want
when you've had
a bad day
and you're sober
I'm very glad
I went to sleep
because when I
woke up this morning
I was still
fucking angry
like
they want to
take out on you
because I'm very
aware that when I
internalise a
fucking bad mood
I know I don't ever take out on Cara. I was like, cause I'm very aware that like when I internalize a fucking bad mood, like I,
I know I don't ever take out on Cara and I'm like,
right,
do that.
That thing you've got there,
do that to everyone else.
Try not to take out on everyone else.
So.
I have to be self-sufficient because sometimes you take it out on me a little bit,
like just with your attitude,
because you have one attitude,
everyone's getting hit.
Right.
And I'm like,
oh no,
no,
we're on the same team here.
We're going through this together.
Like this isn't just a you against the world thing.
but we're processing it differently.
So differently.
Very,
very differently.
I do not like,
I don't like getting problems out there.
I don't want to solve the problem with you because neither of us are the cause of the
fucking problem.
And venting just releases the steam.
And sometimes it's important,
it's not,
I want the fucking anger in there so that I can be as honest
and as brutal
to the people
that fucked me over
as I can be
I don't want any of that
I don't want people
to laugh at it
you don't want any compassion
I don't want
you don't want to humanise
the people you're mad at
at any point
you know what
for the past fucking 10 years
stuff like this
has consistently fucking happened
and I've brushed it off
and that's why
it continuously happens
and you haven't really
brushed it off
you've ended up in therapy because of it
you've actually built yourself back up
not brushing it off, you've pieced yourself back together
after it. Yeah and
in all honesty like just
with the way this tour has been organised this fucking
year I am very
openly, I'm at the end of, I'm
burnt out now, that's me completely and utterly burnt
out, I'm going to
do and and perform this
most of the shows that i'm booked in to do we are going to be rescheduling some of the shows
uh i'm sorry if that disappoints you but it is it's for mental health reasons it's base
celebrity base mental health reasons can't be bad um uhers we're going to be rescheduling shows
because if I do those shows
I will fucking kill myself
I will drink a bottle of whiskey
on stage
and I will just yell
and cry
and piss and moan
because I have been overworked
and I don't want to be
overworked anymore
the product being recalled
that's what's happened
if the gig's being cancelled
it's like a product
faulty you get a con there's a technical difficulty that's causing the happened. If the gig's being cancelled, it's like a product's faulty,
you get a con,
there's a technical difficulty
that's causing the airbag to go off
in the face of the customer, right?
The product gets fucking recalled,
it gets fixed,
and it gets put back
on the fucking production line.
The product's nearly to the point
that it's broken,
that the gigs won't be
to the best of our ability.
Because our ability is better.
I do not,
there's so many times during X
I walked on stage
and I fucking hated the audience
for making me be there
and I never ever
and I made a vow after X
that I never wanted to feel that way again
now fortunately I'm at the moment where I don't
but I now know my limits
I now know what I'm capable of
and some of the shows later on this year
are going to be rescheduled for next year
because if you were to make me go ahead with them,
I'm telling you right now,
I would fucking despise you.
And I would give you not a good performance.
I would give you an angry performance.
Not a funny Daniel Sloss angry rant performance.
Like I am bitter and jaded
and I've lost my love of my favourite thing.
Do you know, I posted the tour schedule as we got
back on it in Brighton right like this is the run that
we've got coming up and
you know your uncle Scott's friend Mick
the Perth
he comes to the gigs in Perth every year
he spotted how fucked up
the tour was and that would get straight back
on it. It's amazing how we can notice it
and the public can notice it but the people who are
allegedly meant to have our best interest at heart and one of the largest it, but the people who are allegedly meant to have our best interests at heart
and one of the largest touring companies
in the entire world
who's meant to have our back
cannot see what literally everyone else can see.
It's mind-boggling.
He pointed out on social media,
like, do these people not care about you?
No, no, they do not.
And he didn't say our day yesterday.
No.
Mick, I can objectively tell you,
they don't. And I thanked them for spotting me
Aye
I thanked them for noticing me
I was like
Mate thanks
Like I appreciate that you spotted that
Yeah
They don't care
They say they care
Because that's what you're meant to say
To save face with your clients who are angry at you
But
Not a single
Single part of this December tour was
booked with us in mind
I was saying you know
I don't know how much of this fucking dirty laundry
No no no
the rest of it we'll do off fucking camera
we've done enough at this fucking point
you've still not answered my
oh no you have answered my question
you want to prick all of the American Airlines staff
aye
so they slowly bleed to death?
Are you staying there for it?
I actually got humanity out at one last
because it was like every stage of the way after,
you know, we got,
because we haven't done a podcast since
where a flight got cancelled to come home.
The worst.
The absolute worst case fucking scenario in the world.
The flight got cancelled to come home
and it didn't get cancelled while we were in the hotel
it got cancelled
while we were on
the internal flight
and I know at home
you're like
why was the flight cancelled
they never told us
they just decided
they say it was
a maintenance fault
but I can guarantee you
didn't sell enough tickets
didn't sell enough tickets
and American Airlines
are heartless fucking bastards
they were like
let's just merge
today's flight
onto tomorrow's flight
they basically done that
didn't they?
So it was 24 hours later
I had to have it.
But,
no,
but like,
we got off the plane
from the internal flight
and nobody gave a fuck
that our flight had been cancelled.
Nobody was like,
oh,
let us fix that for you.
We were treated like
we'd made the mistake.
Yeah.
Yeah,
it was like we'd missed the flight.
Like,
as if we'd missed the flight
or forgot our ticket or passport or something like that. They, and I was trying to appeal like we'd made the mistake. Yeah. It was like we'd missed the flight. As if we'd missed the flight,
I forgot what ticket or passport or something like that.
And I was trying to appeal for humanity at every step of the way.
I was like trying to attack them.
Like, you can't.
Well, this is the problem with,
and to be fair,
it's not just American Airlines.
American Airlines is one of the worst examples of it.
But I was talking to Roo
and he was just like,
you have to understand,
American Customs Service
is some of the worst in the fucking world and this is why you get fucking
these are places that you're not getting a tip so you see the true colors yeah yeah and if they're
not working for tips they're not and they're just devoid of fucking empathy because the mask doesn't
just slip it fucking hits the floor and they kick it across and show you their fucking face
it's it's why I'll never fucking understand any American that's like,
man, I fucking hate these
customer service things
where they outsource all their guys to India.
I don't want to speak to a guy in India.
Why am I speaking to a guy in India?
Because everyone in Connecticut
is a fucking cunt.
That's why.
The reason, the reason, the reason.
Perfectly wholesome place.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
The reason America outsources customer service to India
Is because Indians are nice
And don't get me wrong
It's also because it's cheaper labour and capitalism
Is an inherently evil thing
But the Indians on the other line
Are just, they're friendly
They're nice
They solve your problems
They want the good feedback
They want the positive feedback whereas an american customer they just could not give a fucking shit because every single american
is the star of their own movie and that's it because when you grow up in a in a in a country
which is just that much of like anyone of you can be the, anyone of you can be the president, anyone of you can be a fucking celebrity,
and it's all, you know,
media be number one,
all this fucking shit.
It just breeds this level of,
I'm the center of the fucking world.
Everything I,
and everyone is a character.
And if I'm mean to someone,
that doesn't matter,
because the second,
they've also,
they've almost got,
what's the thing that babies,
object permanence. I don't think many Americans have object permanence. And that's the thing that babies... Object permanence.
I don't think many Americans have object permanence.
And that's the peekaboo thing.
If there's something not in the field of vision, it's gone.
It's gone, yeah, yeah, yeah. It never existed.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So Americans will just be like,
the second of human beings out of my eye, they're dead.
So I don't need to be nice to them,
because they don't live...
Everyone's an NCP.
They just stop rendering them once
they go around the corner once somebody is no longer in my life they're no longer a part person
so there's no consequences so why would i have to be nice to them i also and obviously not you
no no i did say on stage this year not you dad i did say I did say this year on stage, I was like, you know,
Americans are really nice, and I've always said
Americans are really, really nice.
That's one of my favourite things about Americans,
how friendly they are.
And I'll be honest with you, this trip, that fucking disappeared.
Nah, not at all.
Like, do me wrong, there weren't nice Americans.
Are your fans a pocket of people, like,
because they're so lovely, man. People were, like, bringing, like, thoughtful gifts. there were nice Americans but it's no are your fans a pocket of people like the the
because they're so lovely man
people who are like
bringing like
thoughtful gifts
and stuff out
things we can travel with
and like perishable stuff
there are nice Americans
but it's no longer the norm
perishable stuff being spliffs
and like stuff that you can
like
the knitted
the knitted Peggy
the knitted
body warmer for Peggy
oh my fucking god
how fucking somebody made me a really really cool custom made Dungeons and Dragons The knitted Peggy. Danielle, the knitted body warmer for Peggy. Oh my fucking God. How fucking...
Somebody made me a really, really cool custom-made
Dungeons & Dragons DM box.
And then somebody also made me, like, really cool D&D dice
with, like, my jokes in the middle.
Don't get me wrong.
There are literally millions of very nice Americans.
Amy bought Maddox a pincer match.
Like, bought a pincer dog collar
but it's
I
now no longer believe
that the average American
is nice
and actually speaking
to so many Americans
over there
so I just felt bad
that the folk
with that mentality
are getting hit
with the same broad stroke
and you're just like
oh there's some
actually really caring
loving people out there
but
yeah but these are the ones
they don't
like lit eye a day
no no
they're like
we've had to find them by having a platform and bringing them to us they're not they're not you
walking around the street americans and they're the ones that point out because they were the ones
like americans after the show the ones that we come smoke splits with us we're like we can't
believe you think americans are nice americans are assholes and i was like no man like you guys
are all so friendly and i was obviously just using them as an example
because my impression of Americans are-
Them and waitresses who want money.
Yeah, that's my impression of Americans are my fans.
And that, so I'm like,
all Americans are lovely and friendly.
And then we got a brief view of what it was,
what actual most Americans are like.
And to any American that told me
that I was full of shit for thinking
all Americans were nice, I you were right I was that was an incorrect generalization
for me to make a harmful generalization for me to make not all Americans are nice many of them are
probably a hundred million of them which is a lot but, there's 300 million of them altogether.
That's bad stats.
Aye.
I found as well, you know, I mean, we've been on the UK tour for three days now,
and we've only done one gig.
But in that one gig, because of all the fuck-ups,
in that one gig in Brighton, I felt a little bit refreshed by it, because as much as I love the American audiences, they were good for the
ego. Just say
it was nice to perform to a real audience
again. They knew how to be an audience.
Just say it was nice to perform to
a real audience again. That's what you mean?
Yeah, it's not. Look, it's
It was nice
to gig to a real audience
again. In America, it was like having
a thousand hype men
you couldn't see your age without them
cheering your age. So I
I'm
31
I'm 31
Yeah!
Shut the fuck up
shut the fuck up
and then I was putting ketchup on my chips and they're like I've heard of ketchup
I've heard of ketchup but why are you putting ketchup on my chips and they're like, I've had a ketchup. I've had a ketchup.
But why are you putting them on chips?
You made the excellent point.
America does not allow
for pregnant pauses at all.
Which is why, man,
which is why I could never have filmed
X in America at all.
Man, I could barely get through
fucking X in Boston.
Because when you're trying to
fucking build this tension
in an audience of like, you know, we've been laughing for a bit and now we're going on to like a serious
bit and you don't know where the next punchline is coming from the power and the fucking skill
comes from keeping that silence there but because Americans are so terrified of being alone with
their own thoughts you got a booger I've been trying to get rid of it now on the sly
I can feel it
because
didn't eat it
there was
somewhere to put it
I just think
they just cannot be
in those moments
when you're like
building tensions
like British people
will just sit there
and be like
oh god
like where's this going
Aussies will be like
oh my
what's he gonna
anyone else
whereas Americans
are like
there's silence
that can't be a good thing yeah please please and i i beg you i beg you if in america if you come to my shows in
the future if you see anyone whooping or near you or friend please stop them don't be rude about it
but just go just so you know it's i listen to his podcast and he objectively
fucking despises
when people
woo
it's the
rudest thing
it's the most
disruptive thing
so please
please police it
if you're on my show
in America
and somebody
roos
politely turn around
and go
just let you know
he hates that
so much
and he won't say it
because he's too polite
but he fucking
hates it
it's a conscious noise that's why it's not an involuntary noise yes you know like the involuntary like
laughter is like the audible expression of joyousness that comes from the overload of
endorphins that you've triggered in the brain yeah right and and and sometimes if that gets too much
you need to do something with the rest of your body and your hands start clapping because it's
overflowed yeah right and i feel like the the clapping and the laughing's like this involuntary response so that means the person's
completely relaxed into your company and they're letting you take them on a journey and and anything
that's more than that like the whooping or heckling or anything that's a conscious decision that isn't
a natural reaction to what you're doing it's just fucking rude it feels fake it is fake
it feels fake
and as I was saying
it's good for your ego
that like
it's the strip
I pretend
I fancy
so if you suspend
your disbelief
you're fucking
going to have a
Bill that time
in America
whacking her on the stage
six inches off the air
while they're whooping
at you and all that
which is why
so many
pish American comedians
think they're class
aye the reason Joe Rogan thinks he's good at comedy Which is why so many Pesh-American comedians Think they're class Aye
Aye
The reason Joe Rogan
Thinks he's good at comedy
Is because
He can hump a stool
And they're gonna whoop
Cause it's not making them laugh
You guarantee they're not laughing there
You guarantee they're not overloaded
With endorphins and laughing
But they will whoop
I'd fucking love
More than anything
To see Joe Rogan
Play the Edinburgh Festival
I would love
like do you know
he'd say alright
he'd get them
in Kew and Hall
and he'd bring
Alderang Sorts
into Edinburgh
and then they'd overflow
into the fucking
rest of the gigs
no no no
you'd end up with
fucking
Nick Helm
playing with a bunch
of Joe Rogan fans
and they'd spoil his gig
he'd bring in
his own audience
but again
he would bring in
his own British version
of that audience
and even the British version of his audience
doesn't exist
there's no whoopers in Britain
those don't exist
right
and even
even like the fucking
dregs of our society here
know how to react to the gig
know how to react to that
well that's not true
fucking
Kevin Bridges fans are the worst
they want to be spotted
they want to be seen by him
in a room with 10,000 people
Kevin Bridges
announced his
like his first tour in so long
and we've got
friends
Gareth Wassom
at the stand
the other week
and we were just like
man his new material
is fucking phenomenal
I really want to see
Kevin live
because I think
Kevin's one of the
the best place to see him
live is when he's
trying new material
at the stand
I want to see
when it's a hot ticket
not when it's the
man if seeing Kevin live
in
in a
in a
auditorium
or an arena
is horrific
because his fans
are just
not all of them
but 5% of them
are scum of the fucking earth
who have never been
in a live show
and they just want to make it
and they get too drunk
they get fucking coked up they take fucking ecstasy I think they're at the dot live show and they just want to make it and they get too drunk they get fucking coked up
they take fucking ecstasy
I think they're at the darts
aye
aye
and they
and man
I've heard so many stories
of Kevin having to go off
fucking
and I can't imagine
like if I get annoyed
at whoopers
I can't imagine
what it's like to be Kev
up on stage
just go shut the fuck up
because he plays such
big gigs and stuff
I reckon they get drowned out
I think it's more annoying
for the people
that are sat next to them
man he's walked off stage
several times
at loads of gigs
like on his last tour
because of his audience
just would not
shut the fucking fuck up
did I tell you
I had a couple of pints
with him that day
oh you did aye
I was at the
Kelvin Grove Cafe
because it was class
because we were meeting up
with one of Natalie's pals
who works at Secret Escapes
old job
and she'd come up just to get away from London you know I just need to get out of London
and spend some time in Edinburgh come through to do to do the Billy Connolly like tour of the
Murials I didn't even know they were there but there's loads of artwork of Billy Connolly she's
a big comedy fan and then she come in Murials Murials that's a Murial yeah that's an old lady
that's an old lady's name. Muriel's wedding.
Muriel.
Muriel.
There's a question for you. When do you reckon the last Muriel was born?
Nobody's bringing Muriel back.
Nah.
No, that's not true.
It could be a bit of a hipster name, couldn't it?
Yeah, Tory hipsters.
You think so?
Yeah.
This is Muriel.
Ah, yeah, like fucking...
Aye.
People that live in like...
People that go to the Henley Regatta.
Aye.
Aye.
So I went having a pint a pint with her
just a couple of hours
having an old fashioned
as it happens
old fashioned man or woman
oh that was the funniest
we've told that story enough haven't we
aye
do we need to tell it again
nope
then Kev came in
with his dog and his Ben
and Peggy was there
and the dog started playing with each other
and I was chatting to Kev
and he went and sat doing
another thing
and he just
he just came out
and just went
just wanted to come and have a pint with us and we went and sat doing another thing and he just, he just cut my line and just went, just wanted to come have a pint with us
and I went and chatted to them
and it was built up for Natalie's pile
because like,
that was just class for her.
It's Kevin Bridges.
For me it was a catch up with a maid.
Aye.
But for her it was just like
fucking wide eyed.
Like,
this is class.
My point originally,
so even if,
even if all the Kevin Bridges,
I don't think there's,
will be much of a crossover
between Bridges and Joe Rogan,
maybe there will be.
Joe Rogan would still be found out, man.
He'd still be found out.
If he'd done the fringe?
Yeah, 100%.
I think you're right.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
I think he could put on a show in each town
and get the right audience.
He'd get his USC fans.
Yeah, he'd fucking sell it.
But if he was to do a run of shows for 30 days to comedy fans
poo poo, stinky poo poo
it's going to be one or two of them gigs where he looks
at himself
oh no I don't think
he's capable of self reflection
he's not
a man who looks at a mirror
we need to have like like, a button now
for the fucking Danny Hates Joe Rogan section.
Fucking despise him so much.
It's every SP3 podcast name.
I fucking hate him.
I fucking hate him.
He's just such a thick, unfunny cunt.
I'm going to bring back Muggle Corner
to put myself in it by saying
he lives rent-free in your head.
He does?
He lives rent-free in your head.
He does?
But that is one of the most Muggle corner comments in the entire world i don't want
him to but i just keep man like i turned off i stopped watching the news last year i came off
of twitter last year and facebook and everything just because man i know i get easily wound up
right and and it's on me like at one point i just have to admit and be like look is the world
annoying or do i just get annoyed like what's
and realistically it's me i get annoyed by things so i'm just gonna try and be less annoyed by
things i'm gonna remove these things like i thought the news was gonna make me smarter it
didn't it made me angrier and more scared i thought twitter would allow me to stay in contact with my
fans and people i like it didn't it made me angry and scared what's this that's is that my phone
i'm sorry i'mprofessional piece of shit
I'll ring you back, Dean
Dean and I are listening
I'll have already spoke to you by the time you listen to that
I'm not ignoring you
I've completely forgotten my point
It was from Renfrew in the head
Oh, you've stopped
watching the news
oh yeah
stopped reading
social media
but for some
fucking reason
I just still keep
hearing about Joe Rogan
and don't get me wrong
I think
why was it
I think Joe Rogan
is often fucking
misrepresented
in the media
like
people will
do what I fucking
hate people doing
in the comics
out of context
out of context
tiny little
30 second clip
of Joe Rogan saying that and that's
never fair. Or like spliced together bits
of him. Yeah.
If anybody took a real fucking
like a real
vitriolic dislike to us they could
stitch together some wank from the podcast.
Yes of course and that's what many people have done is
to misrepresent. Joe Rogan is a smart
man. He is a brilliant
interviewer. His knowledge of the UFC
he's a great UFC commentator
of all time
Tread in old ground
aye
I'm just saying like
we've done this
have we
like
I just
I'm so sick of
of just seeing him
being like
and now he's got
Alex Jones back
and here's
Ben Shapiro
and you're like
we've got to get off this
mate I'm going to be
I'm going to be proactive
and just go on
this is the third time
we've had this conversation
in three podcasts
fine
I just
I wish I could stop saying him
it's also because
Elliot's a fan
and I respect Elliot
so much as a comedian
apart from that
it's very hard to explain
I'm like Elliot
you've been a better stand-up
than Joe Rogan
since you were
19 years old
aye
to change the subject let's talk about how did you enjoy getting home Elliot, you've been a better stand-up than Joe Rogan since you were 19 years old. Aye.
To change the subject, let's talk about how did you enjoy getting home,
even though it was for a couple of days?
Did you like being back?
Aye.
What was Ray and Cara like for their reunion?
Well, so,
the longest Ray's ever gone without Kara, apart from before
she knew Kara existed, but once Kara came into her life
Rey suddenly was aware that she
was actually a goddess who was
worthy of all praise all the time
and me and Cullen don't
give Rey as much
attention as Kara think
Rey needs
so Rey was, bless Cullen
he was giving her
daily
Rayly updates
on what she was up to
and then we sort of
came back
and
she was just
she'd been with Cullen
she'd been sleeping with him
the entire time
and we go back
and Ray doesn't give a fuck
that I leave
I'm in and out all the time
I am just
like
I'm somebody
that's occasionally in the house
that's really good at stroking
that will feed her but if I disappear alright he's dead yeah you're just like i'm somebody that's occasionally in the house that's really good at stroking that will feed her but if i disappear all right he's dead yeah you're just like another cat oh yes a hundred
percent another cat but a cat that she likes and she was very excited when i came back in the
morning i came downstairs she was like oh we do the couch thing every morning which is i come down
have my breakfast and then i'll lie on the couch and i'm always like just read for 45 minutes at the start of your day because that way you've
read for 45 minutes and then hey i'm smart or at least i feel smart yeah you start your day
it's a good uh good habit to get into reading before you touch your phone i that's how i spent
a lot of lockdown when i was on a mental health offensive to just try and fucking keep the water
from taking the boat under you first start of the day i was really trapped by the book before you
even get your phone.
So she'd jump up and she's lying standing beside me.
She's like, this is great.
We come in.
She is very angry at Kara.
Kara goes to pick her up
and Ray loves being picked up
because it makes her feel like a human being
and she's at eye level.
Didn't like being picked up.
Ran away from Kara
and then when me and Kara were standing on the couch,
made a real fucking point to go and lie with Cullen,
which she never does.
Like, the whole thing is,
she'll just always go to Cara.
I find this hysterical.
Ray forgives me instantly,
because I've not slighted her.
I haven't betrayed her by leaving.
I always leave.
Yeah.
But then also...
It's not out of the normal.
So do you think Ray held a bit of a grudge,
like, fucking leave me?
Well, yeah,
but she could only keep the grudge going for so long
because me and Cullen
will never give her
the attention that she
is this a real thing
or is this projected upon
as humans putting
their own emotions
oh definitely that
yeah yeah
so if the cat wanders off
the cat was just
always going to wander off
whether I should
left or not
but now she's like
oh you're wandering off
because I left you
no no no
no I will
no
there is
when Cara comes back from like a day away from the shop Ray will run to her Oh, you weren't running off because I left you? No, no, no, no. I will... No. There is...
When Cara comes back from a day away from the shop,
Ray will run to her.
Ray's always happy to see Cara.
And if Cara gets up from the couch and walks away,
Ray will follow her.
She's Cara's shadow.
And when she came back, she was...
Man, normally she comes upstairs and sleeps with us.
And every morning, Cara goes downstairs. And if Ray hasn't slept with us and every morning cara goes downstairs and if
ray hasn't slept with us she'll be down just on the bench in the in the living room and then she'll
run to get fed by cara day one that we come back ray hasn't come up during the night and we go
downstairs and she's not there and like cara is just a whole the systems have changed yeah and
she's yelling down she's like ray because she knows she's in color's room and i just want some
routine back i just want me can't be ray's not Ray! Because she knows she's in Colin's room. Karen just wants her routine back. She's like, I just want my cat to be.
Ray's not coming upstairs.
And the reason she's not.
And so Colin eventually comes up.
Because Karen's just yelling for the cat to come upstairs.
And we're like, oh, has she been with you all night?
And he's like, no, no.
She came down at half seven, which is the time when Karen normally goes down.
So Ray knew that Karen was coming downstairs.
And she's like, I'm not going to be here for this.
No, fuck you.
Aren't it?
Wow. Peggy, do the same. I don't know. I love Ray. Just before we get on to Peggy. knew Carol was going to come down and just be like I'm not going to be here for this no fuck you aren't I wow
Peggy do the same
I don't know
I love Ray
just before I get on to Peggy
I love Ray
how like
because she remembers me as well
I've lived
I've known her for fucking
years
six years maybe
five or four actually
because I think
yeah
there's a gosgube
yeah
in your previous accommodation
and then
she comes
she spots it
she gets up
she walks over
but not all the way over
she comes up
walks up
and went
do the rest
I'm going to maintain
some dignity here
no
Peggy had no dignity
none
no
Peggy fucking
launched herself
it actually
she launched herself
in you and Cara as well
she remembered you too
not quite
not quite as dramatically but still it was and Cara as well she remembered you two not quite as dramatically
but still
it was nice to see
that she remembered you
and she was happy to see you
and she tried to give
Ray the same treatment
as well
but held her back
that would not be
well received
I've never seen
I don't think Ray's
ever got her claws out
but
she's slapped
yeah she'll slap
but Peggy doesn't seem
like somebody
that's going to be
Peggy's getting
bigger now as well
so it's a bit more
problematic
bigger
nah she's still
tiny
my first thing
was just like
look how big
she is
and then you
see her in
comparison to
when Bridges
brought his
Labrador
still a tiny dog
and I'm like
I'm not going
to be able to
spin my way out of this one.
But she's been lovely.
She's been class.
And just fucking threw herself at us.
And just wouldn't stop.
She was like fucking...
I thought she was going to hurt herself.
If anyone's on social media,
I think I can say it on my Instagram.
Put it on. Instagram put it on
before we go
I know we finished
the American podcast
a while ago
but generally
to everyone that came out
to the shows in America
it was such a phenomenal tour
as much as we'll
slag off your country
and your people
and all that
fucking what a belt
of time we had
yeah
and you know
it always comes from
just a place of
we've just been there too
much and we're
tired
it was so
fucking good
there wasn't a
single fucking
bad gig
there wasn't a
bad crowd
there was a
couple of bad
experiences but
that was just
like travelling
and that happens
in the job
and thank you
for letting
us vent about
bad experiences
because that's
what I love
about this
podcast is we're
like we're
living this
fucking weird life it's an extraordinary life that we're living we're venting about our bad experiences because that's what I love about this podcast is we're like we're living this fucking weird life
it's an extraordinary life that we're living
we're very lucky
we're getting to open the window into our world twice a week
for an hour and just take you
with us and share our experiences with you
and even if that is us fucking whinging about
stuff like thanks for letting me vent
aye
and then also
and if it's not for you fully fair enough
I mean we do
numbers fluctuate
on this fucking piece of shit
oh also
just as a
friendly thing
as a
plug for another podcast
what's upset you now
with Paul McCaffrey
and Sean Walsh
is
brilliant
it's
they've basically done
the concept of the podcast
or what I think
what they were trying to do
which was
you know the conversations
you have down with
your mates down at the pubs
they're like
it's a window into that
so what they do is
they record a 25 minute podcast
with you
where they're just like
what's upsetting you now
and you just rant with them
and you complain
and then
the whole podcast is
15 minutes long
they just say like
15 minutes
there's no intro
there's no outro
there's just
you tune in
halfway through
what's complaining about things
so at the start
the conversation
then press record
made conversation
no no no
you record for 25
and they'll pick 15
out of that essentially
ah
so it's a short
yeah
and it's a great short
so if you
you know how
podcasts are traditionally
like an hour long
and maybe your commute
isn't an hour long
if you want a lovely
fucking 50 minute podcast
for like cooking
cleaning
it's so funny
their guests are amazing
they've had like
Stuart Lee and Tom Allen
if that means
it's like
it's a surmountable task
to backdate it
yes
to listen back through it
aye
oh but they've only got
like three seasons out
so I probably
man I've consumed
that means you can get up to speed
aye
and I
the reason I bring it up
is because I was
lucky enough to get to
go on it
earlier on today and we had such a good fucking laugh and what was your um argument that you went
over uh i was hotel breakfasts hotels staff that come in uh before i've checked out uh and and
little cups of uh you know the little fucking glasses you get at hotel breakfasts
and some other stuff, go listen to it
it'll be out soon
like more grapes
aye, and just rants
we've got some shows
coming up and obviously
there will be some shows being rescheduled
I appreciate your understanding
and if you don't understand, tough
I'm exhausted
I'm tired
and it's not
for my mental health
base motherfucker
for my mental health
it's not us
it's like
this shitty thing happens
where like
if anything needs to be changed
or moved
it looks like we've
let our fans down
and that's the way
when it's actually
when it's actually somebody
that you've never seen in your life
and wouldn't recognise
if you walked past them in the street
that's let you down
yeah
they've just gone
you can see the face of that
yeah
and that's what they do
they go
imagine how much
you're going to let down
your fans
I'm not letting down my fans
you're letting down my fans
because you booked a bad tour
and we'll probably
fucking even get a slap
on the wrist
for being authentic
right now
and talking about it
couldn't give a shit
couldn't give a fucking shit
fire me
