What's up motherfuckers, welcome to another Monday morning podcast, well I guess that's
if you're a Patreon you're getting it now and if you're a tight cunt you're not getting
this talk, is it Wednesday they get it? Aye. Well enjoy the free podcasts, in today's episode
we talk about eugenics and I say we, me, I talk about eugenics and I tell you everyone
that I think needs to die, well not everyone, there's a very long me, I talk about eugenics and I tell you everyone that I think needs to die.
Well, not everyone.
It's a very long list.
I get into some of it.
We then also, I mean,
I don't know why I have to do these introductions.
I never remember conversations we have.
It was a fun episode.
I enjoyed talking about it.
Towards the end, we have the obligatory
last 10 minutes of the podcast
where we just talk about how hard it is to be us
and how tight our diamond shoes are
and our misery
but I imagine it's kind of
you know what, if you like refreshing honesty
again and again and again and again
and again, congratulations
it's here
but I think it's only going to be
probably only two more miserable podcasts
and then
and then you might hear a smile in my voice again.
That might be fun.
Anyway, enjoy the podcast.
Sloss and Humphreys on the road.
Muggins and cream, cream and muggins.
Straight thuggin', livin' the dream.
That's our intro.
Fuckin' muggles.
Ticklin' the clit inside your head that makes you laugh.
Woo-hoo!
Ha-ha-ha!
They said it can't be done.
Are we in the same seats?
That's hack.
Aw, muggles. Accidental rim job in the park. Kiss, kiss, kiss. Are we in the same seats? That's hack. Oh, muggles.
Accidental rim job in the park.
Kiss, kiss, kiss.
Or am I just being cynical?
Just muggled it up on fucking Mugglepedia.
Where have you been since 9-11?
I've thought of a new group of people that we need to sterilise.
Right, so you don't want them to breed you don't want the dna to
move from but when i say sterilize i don't mean i don't necessarily mean like they're going to be
bad parents but there's just something wrong with the dna and we need to stop it and it's like you
can't have kids anymore because we can't allow this trait to pass on to other generations you're
allowed to be a dad or a mom or wherever you want to be, but you have to adopt one that doesn't have this DNA.
So it's not a personality trait then?
It's like a physical...
It's a personality trait you can pass on to the kid still, right?
But it's the physical side of you.
It's a genetically weak thing that needs to...
Like, for example, anyone...
So it's eugenics. You're suggesting eugenics.
I always suggest eugenics.
I am a huge believer in eugenics.
I'm going to clip that into a button.
Please do.
I think, look, hey, hey, hey,
the reason eugenics is evil
is just because people have done it
for evil reasons so far.
I'm doing it for the betterment of humanity,
said no eugenic scientist ever.
Like, for example,
this is the one I was going for,
but anyone in today's,
anyone born after 1990 who still gets car sick, it's over.
You don't get to, you don't get to be, you can be a parent.
So, so far your pregnant wife can't breed.
No, no.
And I shouldn't have had sex with her.
We shouldn't.
Like, it's, cars have existed for so long.
How is your brain not caught up with the fact that cars exist?
Cars have existed for longer than you, than brain not caught up with the fact that cars exist cars have
existed for longer than you than you've existed how is this not how would you how in a car
do you as somebody who has been alive and the entire time cars have existed does your brain go
but i'm staying still but but but the outside is moving but like It's like, do you understand how genetically weak that is?
Like, it's fundamentally bad.
And I'm somebody that's going to be sterilised during this,
and I'm embarrassed.
I don't know, I just want to ask before you move on to that,
but did your wife not get motion sickness
when you were conceiving the baby?
No, no, she's fine with that.
Up and down's fine.
Of course she just went up and down
all right but for some reason she just go i just i can't handle going around corners and you're
like i don't this used to get you to sleep when you were a kid so at one point even then you
weren't car sick as a baby right just at one point your brain devolved. Like during life, your brain took a step backwards.
It's miraculous.
The sterilization that needs to take place,
and I'm unfortunately going to be sterilized for this.
If you bite the inside of your cheek more than five times a year,
you should not be allowed to reproduce
because what a horrible existence that is
for anyone like if that i bite my cheek so often i shouldn't be allowed to have a son
my son's gonna grow up right and he's gonna bite the inside of his cheek and i'm gonna go oh that
was me i did that i've got fat inside of my cheeks and he's just gonna have a shitty life
he's gonna be having a great day one day right he's gonna he's gonna be getting married to the
love of his fucking life and he's gonna sit down and he's gonna be happier than he's ever been
before his wedding meal aye and he's gonna be vegan because he's gonna be fucking one of those
obviously fucking again man shit man ah how do i not know that's there oh it's the inside of my
face that's of course i avoid that when i chew that's what how is it possible how is it possible
that your body's reaction To biting the inside
Of your cheek
Is to
Swell it up
Let's make it bigger
Let's make it a bigger
Fucking target
Like I understand
Like if
Let's say you slam
Your thumb in the door
Right
Your thumb swells
And that's your body going
Hey remember this thing
I'm gonna make it bigger
So you can see it
You dumbass cunt
I'm gonna make this
So very obvious
It's gonna throb So you keep it out the way of things.
But the inside of your cheek,
I've bit my cheek three times in the past week,
and I include the X tour in this.
I've never been so close to suicide in my life.
Fucking hell.
Like, it's my nothing, mate.
I want to fucking kill myself every time it happens.
You're already having quite a tough time.
Aye. You're just trying to enjoy your breakfast. I've got to get myself out of it happens. You're already having quite a tough time. Aye.
You're just trying to enjoy
your breakfast.
I've got to get in my saloon bed
against all my better judgement.
I don't want to wake up today.
Nah.
But I'm going to get up and eat.
There we go.
And I've just chewed my face.
I've just ruined my fucking day.
I've absolutely,
completely and utterly ruined my day.
You're such a drug addict
you chew your face off
even when you're not on pills.
No, I see.
You're misrepresenting.
I'm not that type of drug addict. I hate ecstasy. That was just a joke. Chewing your face doesn't mean you're chewing your pills No I was saying That's You're misrepresenting I'm not that type of drug addict
I hate ecstasy
That was just a joke
Chewing your face
Doesn't mean you're chewing your face
But I do
I've said this before
I've taken my last pill
And I've done my last mandate
I fucking
I do not enjoy
Those drugs
Like I did once
And then
And then it's just fucking
Dragon chasing
Yeah I feel like
They're a
They're a young man's game
I was talking to a friend
The cons outweigh the pros now man's game. I was talking to a friend who...
The cons outweigh the pros now for me.
I was talking to a friend who will remain nameless at this point
because he's a massive drug dealer.
Can we just call him Matty?
Yeah, so Matty's a massive drug dealer.
And we were talking about, you know,
the druggy fringes that we used to do.
And I know every person probably you know every
generation has you know oh we were the rock and roll ones we did the most drugs we did this you
know we were i do actually think that was us because here's the thing drugs definitely got
stronger in the past 30 years like if you ever meet any fucking pensioner who's like i used to
do drugs back in the day and you're like what when you fucking used to grow weed in a fucking cupboard
or you grew under a fucking bridge and it was like australian drugs back in the day. And you're like, what, when you fucking used to grow weed in a fucking cupboard or you grew it under a fucking bridge
and it was like Australian bush weed and the THC,
you didn't even know what THC was back then.
You just got high.
Whereas if you give those people joints now,
they're like, and they fool on fucking whitey.
I've watched the, I've just watched the weed in my lifetime
just fucking crease loads.
So when people that are older than me, like, oh no,
we did it back in my day.
I'm like, it's like people like fucking Nelsonelson like pills were stronger back in the day you go objectively
not true objectively not true because that would that would mean i'm more proud to die on them
because they got it wrong yeah like there's drugs are all stronger nowadays because we've found ways
to but don't get wrong they're definitely cut with more shit and that's a different sort of debate
i reckon our our drug years at the fringe should
go down in infamy and by infamy i mean badness like we definitely elliot steele took three years
off of his career for the way he acted one of those fringes we managed to sustain but he was
just there he was well no it was our fault because we were for better or worse
and we shouldn't have been anyway
but for some reason
we weren't necessarily role models
we were a bad influence
yes
we weren't pitching ourselves
as role models
no
but we should have at least
took responsibility
for having influence
yes but also anyone
that pitches themselves
as a role model
you're like
you're not a role model
like don't tell me
don't tell me I should follow
in your fucking footsteps
who are you
Jesus Christ
get fucked
I reckon I didn't know you were a firm believer and a follower of Jesus he's he's only a good bloke should follow in your fucking footsteps who are you jesus christ get fucked um i reckon you are
a firm believer and a follower of jesus why he's his whole thing a good bloke his whole thing was
follow me hey also i mean not to get too waylaid here i just want to talk about how fucking dumb
christians are that jesus was a jew and preached about judaism the entire fucking day his whole
thing was i'm the son of the Jewish God
I'm a Jew let's all be Jews
that hasn't even been lost in history
no it's it they quote it in
the Bible that they read
and they're like okay Jesus
I'm picking up what you're putting down
worship you and he's
like these motherfuckers
these
motherfuckers oh my god that would be like people leaving after the support
act being like you know what it's not what i came for but he was fucking great 50 quid well spent
it's a it's it's a myth that he was uh he was actually put on the cross he he actually
crucified himself just been like i i can't i can't do it i don't know how he did it but he is jesus
he could do some things but hey that was that was suicide by crucifixion.
That's how Jesus died.
That's how pissed off Christians made him.
He was like, I'm going to defy the laws of physics and bodily movement.
And then they brought him back to life.
He didn't keep getting out of the cave.
He kept putting himself in it.
Aye.
And they kept dragging him out.
They were like, come on, tell us more about this guy.
The books are there there you fucking morons
so not to get
too waylaid
where were you
I can't remember
I got waylaid
I let a comment
on YouTube
absolutely bother us
the day there
aye
on the YouTube clip
somebody was just like
Humphreys needs to
stop interrupting
Sloss
it's giving me anxiety.
And I'm like, one, it's called
having a conversation. Two, if I didn't interrupt you,
it would just be a fucking Twitch stream because you wouldn't stop
talking. I do talk a lot.
And it's like,
we're having a chat. It's what a podcast
is, right? But it was like,
that's not what bothered us, right?
I was interrupting, it didn't bother us because I'll always
still do that. That's what a it's the you're giving me anxiety it's the like
it's the putting your mental health is the only thing in the fucking world not like oh there's
comment because like i'm putting this comment on a creative or a creative thread right a creative
who is burying himself and becoming vulnerable for the entertainment of others right and i'm
just gonna hit him with that right like luckily i didn't deal too hard with stuff like that right even though i'm whinging about it now it's not
gonna fucking ruin me day right but the fact that you go you're giving me anxiety so therefore i'm
just gonna fucking potentially make you feel like oh that's shit well that's the thing i don't like
about people with anxiety is the constant misunderstanding that your mental health problems are your mental health problems
and they are your responsibility now to be fair most people do know this but it's I mean I'm
pretty sure I've said this before but it's the thing that people don't understand about when
they learn that they've got triggers which is here's something that's traumatic in your life
and when this subject comes up it causes you to have an insane reaction because you've got trauma and legitimate ptsd so whenever
this subject comes up it makes you regress to a fight or flight mode you learn about those triggers
so you know what your triggers are so you're it's not to put trigger warnings on everything and it's
not for everyone else to not talk about those things
and not talk about those in front of you.
We're not bubble wrapping the world.
This is for you to understand
what in the world triggers you.
That's your fucking response.
And if your therapist doesn't tell you that,
your therapist is fucking horrific
and you need a new one.
They're pandering to you.
They're pandering to you.
Your trigger points are so that you understand
when you are going to become irrational
and illogical
and so when somebody says
murder
rape
paedophile
chickenpox
whatever the fuck it is
you go
oh I really liked chickenpox
as a kid
oh this
nobody's allowed to talk
about chickenpox
that's not how the world works
and it never should be
how the world works
I remembered me
fucking point
go for it
the drugs we're
gonna look i think in like 10 15 20 years we're gonna be sitting in an abattoir during the fringe
one year looking at the younger generation of comics going these fucking pansies like i do want
i think in the future what i would like to do is maybe in like the day i want to start a podcast called reprimates and and what it is is it's i just get comics from the past 20 to 30 years
who've done the fringe but who did it in the real way not the ones that went up for the awards
the ones that went up the 100 preview kind of guys yeah the ones that are bringing essentially
a show that they've toured up to the fridge not not the comedians who did a 45-minute show the year before,
because technically that's not a solo show.
That calculated...
When people are calculated in the funny game,
it just takes all of the essence out of it.
Let's just remove the essence and make it more about me and my career.
It's not about the audience laughing, it's about my career going well.
I need the best newcomer award,
even though it's not made a difference
to anyone's career
since fucking Sean.
Who's dead Sean?
What's his name?
Sean Hughes.
No, Sean Hughes.
Oh, there's two dead Seans.
Fuck.
Oh, man.
No, Sean Hughes.
Pour some liquor.
Aye.
Sean Hughes.
Oh, I don't think you should
pour liquor for Sean Hughes.
That's the last thing
his ghost would want.
If you were to pour liquor
for Sean Hughes,
the ghost of Sean Hughes goes
what are you doing?
Did I die in vain?
That's not what my memory is.
Come fucking drink it you bastards.
I want to talk to all the comedians
that you know.
Brendan Bairns.
Brendan Bairns.
No, no, but even
there are ones that came up
and even if just for like
three or four days at the festival like fucking Paul McCaffrey would be great on it.
Right?
Somebody that's coming and going, you know what?
I'm just a bit of an irresponsible say shit.
And so I'm a professional and I would do my show the next day and I'd still fucking get through it.
But there were times when we all came close.
I want to talk to those people, but I don't think any of those people are willing to be able to be very very honest about their drug or alcohol stories because it's still too close in the same way that I'm
still like when I tell all I don't tell every drug story I've got and I don't tell every boo story
I've got because I'm still so closer than that I'm like oh it does make me feel like I can't
objectively look at it and it's still very much me whereas in like 15 20 years time I'll be able
to look back and be like god okay this is what i was thinking then this is and i thought i was cool and i was trying to live up to
these things and that's why i think that would be a fun because man the stories you get from
comedians on the circuit as well of when they fucking came it are the best they're my favorite
stories stories are fucking unreal i and i've been in a couple of Barry stories and they're scary.
It's scary to me.
I've been co-main.
I've been co-main on a few of them.
They've been built.
Best days of my life.
Aye.
Paul McCaffrey, did he not have,
I think this was one of the altitudes I wasn't at,
but you were.
Yes, yes.
And he got up the next morning
and everybody in Meyerhoff knew who he was
and he didn't know why.
Yes.
He didn't know what he had done.
But everyone was like calling him by a nickname or whatever.
Robert Caffrey, I think it was on the bus from...
Because the Altitude works, it's different every year.
Either sometimes you land in Austria
and then it's like a 45-minute thing to Meyerhofen
and then other years you land in Berlin
and it's like a three-hour bus journey
and all the comedians are on it.
And there was one
year pardon me where we all just buy heaps of mini Yeagers and I think McCaffrey just had so many of
those very little and McCaffrey can put away an obnoxious amount of booze like I like I would
McCaffrey is a hall of famer for me like booze wise. Gimli, Gimli of the session.
I don't even think I'd gone out.
I don't even think I'd gone out that night.
I think I,
cause I was wanting to snowboard the next day
and we come down
and like after we've done snowboarding,
it's like three in the afternoon,
McCaffrey wakes up
and just like all these Austrians
and lederhosen are like,
ball! And he's like
I have no idea
what happened
why am I a local celebrity
in the Alps
what took place
but like
he must have had
such anxiety about it
but none of it was like
everyone loved him
but he didn't know
what he'd done
to be loved
he didn't know
what he was responsible for.
He's got no idea.
Oh, man.
I woke up yesterday morning after being at a wedding
and just kept getting flashbacks of stuff I'd done the night before.
And you know when they're the type of things that give you fear?
I never get fear of stuff like that.
I always just laugh.
Even if I've left a bad impression in somebody's head of who I am. If've been a bit too obnoxious i always just find it funny the next morning i
don't suffer from that no i mean me and cara get the fear in there in in great deals like i don't
get as much as she does because i mean and she's obviously not had it well but man you've seen how
much booze my tiny fiancee can put away it's it's it does she get fear from the night
before because i've never known her to embarrass herself exactly i've always just known how to be
like life and soul but that's that the fear isn't rational the fear is booze fueled anxiety well
inversely my non-fear is irrational i should have fear i should have fear when i wake up and i remember going up
to the massive guy on the dance floor that i met that night and trying to pick him up because he's
big i should i should remember when i i tried to get up and head out of the mistletoe on the dance
floor because it was like quite high um and i'm just like running and leap out of the mistletoe on the dance floor because it was quite high.
And I'm just running and leaping across the dance floor where I barely know anybody.
I should remember eventually reaching that mistletoe,
getting it down, holding it over my head
and tongue-kissing the bride in front of my wife.
Aye.
I should be like, ugh, but I'm like, class.
Speaking of which, big congratulations to our friend Pippa
for marrying the last Gary.
She married the last Gary?
The last ever Gary.
It was a wonderful win.
She gave him a good send off.
The last Gary.
His name's Gary
and we're pretty sure
nobody's called Gary anymore.
And for,
not necessarily for good reason.
I was talking to Baz
the Kazanaz about this
the other day
because Barry's also a name
that's just disappearing.
But I don't know why,
because it doesn't,
it's not like Barry and Gary have the same stigma as Karen.
Like, I don't think they'll be Karens.
I think we've,
there's no Karens born in the last five years.
Yeah.
That meme is too powerful.
Yeah.
And the name is too fucking besmirched at this point.
Yeah, you inflict the name Karen on someone now.
Aye.
So, but.
And I feel for Karens, man. Like, because I know there's a Karen sat nextmirched at this point. Yeah, you inflict the name Karen on someone now. Aye. But. And I feel for Karen's man.
Like, because I know
there was a Karen
sat next to us at a wedding.
Pregnant.
Lovely lass.
Like, not a muggle.
All right.
Well.
Well.
Yeah, look.
It'll kick in.
It'll kick in.
And I feel for her
because she's been
absolutely besmirched.
Yeah, but I,
one of my oldest friends
is called Karen
and she can be a bit
of a Karen to be fair
she's very smart
middle class
and she is entitled
to thanks
it must be really harsh
because like
you wouldn't be able
to complain about
anything anymore
aye
like you know
that rant we had
about American Airlines
you wouldn't be able
to do that
if you're called Karen
no
you couldn't have that rant
no but the reason but then again have that rant no but the reason
but then again
but that's also
like the reason
American Airlines
are shit
is because all they do
is deal with Karens
all the time
yeah they've been
grown down by Karens
yeah yeah yeah
and it's
I know you get British Karens
but I don't feel like
British Karens
are called Karens
Karens are like
the American
I think who's
what's the British
is it
Becky
no Becky's
Becky's just a bitch Becky's like a whiny bitch it what's the British for is it Becky no Becky's a Becky's just a bitch
Becky's like a whiny bitch it's like the British Karen who's the would it not be like an older
name like a Maureen or something you know it could be Linda Linda Linda it could be it could be Linda
oh no oh thanks
yeah Kai won't laugh at my jokes, but he's got a fucking button,
so the audience give me.
I don't press the laugh button.
All right, I'll give you that.
Oh, can I show you the most cringeworthy thing
I've seen this week?
And I've watched a Gary get married.
Sure.
It was a fucking,
it was a belt I win
by the way
I had a fucking
lovely time
I fucking love
weddings me
aye
I have a really
good time with them
I get loose
this is my new
version of coke
by the way
what is it
is it just one of
them nasal
nasal things
this is honestly
this is
this is e-cocaine
for me
you know you get
e-cigarettes to
wean yourself off of
what is it just
Vicks
like a decongestant you know you get e-cigarettes to wean yourself off of what is it just vicks like
a eye but it's the congester you know how like the reason like with we've changed with the reason
i liked vaping is and the reason i like menthol is i need that burn at the back of my throat that's
what i like about smoking i like that fucking pain yes right i haven't had a blocked nose for ages
but just yeah you've like literally just oh yeah he's that burn at the back of my throat
So because you've not been drinking
You've not been smoking
You've had to replace the ritualistic side of things
Which like, you know, could be
Have an apple
Or whatever
But yours is still just
Put shit in me lungs
Put shit
I need to put shit in me lungs
I need to put something up me nose
That stings
Right
I've connected this
So it'll come through the speakers as well
Oh right, okay, good
Hang on, I need to play this from the beginning How do I get this at the beginning? connected this so it'll come through the speakers as well. Alright, okay, good.
Hang on, I need to play this from the beginning. How do I get this at the beginning?
Well, I thought
it was connected to the speakers.
Oh, I just need to bring it up.
Oh, it's Bluetooth. Hold on, hold on.
I'm just going to make sure
the Bluetooth's connected. While Kyle's doing this,
I'll talk to you about our sponsors.
British Airways
are the greatest airline in the entire world. When was the last time there was a terrorist our sponsors British Airways are the greatest airline
in the entire world
when was the last time there was a terrorist attack on British Airways
never, never
because even terrorists are like
I'm not going to do it to British Airways
I'm not going to disrupt their perfect service
even if you're a terrorist trying to get onto a plane
with a bob on to British Airways
the staff would just be so nice to you.
You're like, you know what?
I'll do it on the connecting flight.
They'd actually chill out the terrorists
and they'd just enjoy their flight.
They'd be like, well, I don't want to miss out on the...
They'd be so embarrassed.
I don't want to miss out on the meal.
Aye.
They'd get on there, they'd watch the movies
and the plane would land and they'd go,
what was I meant to...
Oh, no!
I'm...
Oh, no!
Fucking...
Oh, I'm an idiot.
I can't, but well...
Oh, right, shit. All right, I'm an idiot. I can't, but well, right, shit.
All right, fair enough.
Right.
Man on a tube takes off his mask and throws it away.
You know, wearing a mask is like trying to keep a fart in your trousers.
Wearing a mask is like trying to keep a fart in your trousers.
Man on the tube gets up.
He's joined by people
Jeremy Corbyn's brother
I've changed my air sterilisation group
Right, there's an extra minute of that.
I've stopped it after 30 seconds.
They stand up on the tube and walking down the tube singing,
wearing a mask is like trying to keep a fart in your trousers.
Who's trying to keep a fart in their trousers?
Those guys, I guess.
So here's what I suggest, right that if you want to follow the logic
wearing a mask is like trying to keep a fart in your trousers then not wearing a mask by their
logic is like pulling your ass out to fart right so they've they've betrayed their own logic
immediately because you're going oh yeah yeah you should wear trousers and try and keep your
fart like at least some kind of
well you know what
I would actually be
if people pulled down
their trousers to fart
that would
it would get rid of
the mystery of who did it
like it would get rid of
the whodunit natures of
you know how to hate
which is also
I'm going to turn that back to you
otherwise you're going to get
all my email notifications
what about that group of people
right just going
I find you don't
have to wear trousers you've proven your point you cannot wear trousers crack on like what are
they i don't know i mean look don't we go i don't think anyone likes oh no that's not true i was
about to say nobody likes masks what i will say is as much as the uh the people that are just like
it doesn't work you're like yeah no it doesn't work that's why surgeons wear them because they're as much as the people that are just like,
it doesn't work.
You're like, yeah, no, it doesn't work.
That's why surgeons wear them,
because they're just insane.
Surgeons are just mental people who just make shit up.
So you're right.
Yeah, you're not.
The mask doesn't work.
Blah, blah, blah.
As much as those- That's why I like paint and decorate
as I put them on or whatever.
People go, you're obstructing my freedom.
And you go, oh, right.
You're not having your freedom obstructed at all in any way.
You're just being asked to do something.
And I know it's annoying.
None of it, I actually fucking like it.
But for you to think this is authoritarianism
is just such a marker for how stupid and privileged you are.
On the inverse, if I see one more fucking left-wing comedian
doing a fucking back patting.
Like, here's the seven reasons
why I think wearing a mask
is a good, cool thing to do.
Fucking neck yourself.
Anybody that thinks...
Oh my God.
Do you understand the damage that you're doing?
I'm on the same side as you, motherfucker.
Why are you making me look like a cunt?
One of them was like, it keeps you warm oh just wear a scarf just look some people don't wear masks and that's annoying and
we should hate them but this i fucking hate for so long i hated people that would talk about virtue
signaling right because for a while i sort of belonged to the stance of like wait right right
so your problem is people are doing good things and then congratulate themselves for doing good things even though we live in a world that
celebrates bad moves and evilness and capitalism like i've got no problem with virtual signaling
i take that back 110 just the amount of fucking bit here's the reason why i decided to get
vaccinated shut the fuck up and get vaccinated Shut the fuck up and get vaccinated.
Shut the fuck up and get vaccinated.
Shut the fuck up and get vaccinated.
Stop doing it as if you're God's gift to fucking humanity
for doing something literally 92% of the country
is fucking done, right?
92% of this country is fucking vaccinated.
You're not a fucking hero.
You're yelling at the 8%,
but you're not yelling at the 8%
because the 8% don't fucking follow you.
What you're doing is you're patting yourself on the back and you're yelling at the 8% but you're not yelling at the 8% because the 8% don't fucking follow you what you're doing is you're patting yourself
on the back
and you're asking me
somebody who's not bragging
about doing the same shit
you did
you want me to congratulate you
fuck off
fucking stop it
you're making us lose
you're making us lose
and this is why
Tories are in charge
because of cunts
like fucking you
stop it
get off of Twitter
get off Instagram
fucking stop it
it's the
I take care of my kids
you're supposed to
you dumb fuck
well caught
fucking old boy
what's that
you're supposed to
it's not
you dumb fuck
that's not the
Chris Rock line
it is
aye
but I know what
the blame's about
it's that I love
black people
but aye
you're supposed to
you dumb and then aye that was oh is it I'm dumb fuck no it's dumb. It's that I love black people. But I, yeah, yeah. You're supposed to get dumb.
And then, aye, that was.
Oh, so I've done fuck?
No, it's dumb.
The whole bit is I love black people, but I hate.
Uh-huh.
But I thought, wait, okay.
I may be wrong, but I thought.
Oh, you're 100% wrong.
Because when I'm not on camera, I quote that joke fully.
I know, it's definitely, you're supposed to you dumb
okay
God I wish we had a black friend
that we could just
tap in to say the word
we should phone Elliot
I know what we know
it's a podcast
we do need to do another thick cast
you know about
being woke as well
like it's
I feel like it's something being is something that's always been around,
but it's only recently become an insult.
Like, you know, the Christmas Carol?
Aye.
That's essentially fucking three libtards trying to convince
a far-right person to be woke.
And then he wakes up in the morning with a bit more...
He's developed empathy.
Like, developing empathy is something that's been encouraged for a while but i feel like it's something that's only
recently been turned into an insult because people who do develop empathy like drag that
cock and balls across the internet with the development of empathy that they look like
assholes yeah yeah and it doesn't make it look and it doesn't make empathy look appealing
like you're going oh god like if I become an empathetic person,
am I going to be that fucking wanker over there being like,
here's why I think people who wear masks
and get vaccinated are fucking sexy.
You're like, motherfucker,
we could stop making it harder.
I'm so embarrassed to be fucking left-wing.
And the left gets so much further.
Like my political stance isn't changing. I'm just being forced further and further to be fucking left-wing and the left gets so much farther that like my political stance isn't changing i'm just being forced further and further to the fucking center but i'm like all
right my my comrades are just getting more fucking around and by the way i imagine right-wing people
feel the fucking same like if you're just center right like if your thing is also look i think
capitalism is you know it's not the best it is the system but it's the best system that we have
available at the moment and i understand the flaws of it and and it's not the best system, but it's the best system that we have available at the moment.
And I understand the flaws of it.
And it's being taken advantage of it.
Yeah, and I think a left-wing government's a threat to national security.
Yeah, and those are debates that I wouldn't be able to have
any weight or fucking credibility in.
I imagine whenever they see QAnon people,
they're like, I don't fucking motherfuck if we can't.
Like, I really wish there was just, I mean mean and this is what everyone's fucking complaining about i just wish there
was just like a central party which is just we hate the far right and we hate the far left
and and we're just in the middle and we're not going to yell at each other right and we'll lean
left and right like a frequency yeah i'm not i'm not all left on everything and i'm not all right
everything every everything you bring up to me i'm going to sit there and i'm going to think and i'm going to
go right what's my opinion on this oh i don't have one that's allowed as opposed to what many of the
far right and the far left do which is google their opinions going right what did okay right
right what did joe rogan say right that's that's that's my opinion that's my opinion and what did
what did owen jones say what did owen jones say right, that's my opinion. That's my opinion. And what did Owen Jones say? What did Owen Jones say?
Right, that's my opinion.
That's my opinion.
Motherfucker, think for yourself.
In fact, don't.
Actually, stop thinking.
Just stop thinking.
You know what it feels like?
It feels like you're in a classroom, right?
The fucking world's a classroom.
And you've got the nerds over there
and the bullies over there.
And you might have to join the bullies to not be a nerd,
or join the nerds to not be a bully,
and really you just want to have nothing to do with any of them polarities
and just goes through.
I'm here to learn.
I'm here to learn.
And that's probably what the majority of people are,
but that's not the cross-section that we see,
because they're the quiet people.
The people who are on the left and on the right are like on the internet loudly
and your majority of your interaction with the world now is through the screen on your phone
where the majority of people are just like me and you they'll just be in the in the center scrolling
like and i'll look at the fucking state of this i don't know we've gone through some fucking
shitholes recently uh we were i recently you weren't in Sheffield
now Sheffield's a
great place to gig
I've always loved
the Hexagon
as a venue
it's a really nice
venue
and it's a really
nice audience
it's an industrial
town with a big
student population
so it's got a bit
of charm about it
Sheffield
no it doesn't
it did have
it does not have
any fucking charm to it
are we
not a fucking shred
now maybe i'm being
unfair when you when you come out the train station i've got all them like metal fountains
when was the last time you think i took a train i didn't blame you i fucking nearly i nearly
fucking took me on i am look i've got no pro i don't care what this makes me sound like
five years ago i said to marlena i'm never doing public transport again unless it's in
europe yeah unless it's in europe or unless it's a plane.
Like, I'm not...
I haven't got on a bus since I was 21 years old
and I will never, under any circumstance,
get on a fucking bus again.
I hate them.
I hate them.
I hate them.
I also despise trains.
I hate the fucking trains in this country.
I'm not doing it.
If there's a gig that requires me to get a bus or a train to that gig's not taking place unless you're just going to put us
in a car unless you're going to put us in a car and spend hundreds on getting us there yeah yeah
oh man there's the i would spend a grand before i would get on a bus like a hundred percent without
without fucking blinking um The train yesterday,
I booked a train from Nottingham to London.
There was none without two changes, right?
And I'm like, that's a Sunday.
There's fucking probably engineering works to whatever the storm's done some damage
and they're fixing it, right?
I've got to go out of this wedding.
I've got to get Nottingham somehow, right?
So there's two changes.
And I was like, it's either that
or get like a National Express through.
And I'd rather take the two changes than get on the bus.
And one of the changes was a bus.
And I don't think you're allowed to do that.
If I go on trainline.com, don't put us on a fucking bus.
If I go on Skyscanner and there's a connection,
don't make us fucking row to the next airport.
Mind when Jeremy Corbyn
was called a fucking
Marxist because he wanted
a better train company
in this country
he should have kept
his brother on a fucking leash
keep your fucking brother
on a leash mate
you know
he was
he was like
oh we're gonna
have fucking internet
and trains
and have a good
services around the country
and he's like
oh no
I know
but he just couldn't
say the word
he just couldn't say
the sentence I like Jews know but he just couldn't say the word he just couldn't say the sentence
I like Jews
he just
couldn't bring himself
to look down
the lens of a camera
and go
you know what
I don't mind Jews
he just couldn't do it
he didn't have
the fucking strength
he kept doing it
but his hands
were behind his back
and I'm like
are those crossed
he was like
no no no
speaking of Jews
when crosses
come full circle
come full circle
I got
got slightly
depressed last night
because remember
that comedy
without errors
YouTube channel
I was telling you
about that guy
that's just got
this really really
fascinating
in-depth
geeky knowledge
of comedy
and his analysis of it is spot on.
As somebody that loves the mechanics
and the science of jokes and shows and craft,
he did an hour and ten minute fucking video essay
on the genius of Bo Burnham's insight
and just sort of I love I just love
nothing depresses me more than the existence of Bo Burnham even though he fills me with so much
happiness because I imagine it's just like I imagine what it was like to be like a fucking
premier league footballer playing against Ronaldinho and he scores a hat trick against you where you just
go oh okay so i'm in this sport but i'm just expectator at some points like i'm very lucky
to be in this fucking profession but there is just this but even though i'm achievable level
that i'm just so far like he fucking rainbow flicks over your head catches it on the volley
and puts it in the back of your neck and go even if i was at my peak there's nothing i could have done uh even though
even though i've got as much grind and all that right like he's just got this bit of flair that
you're born with well so this is the this is the bit i wanted to talk to you about at breakfast
let's do on the podcast um i think there is we'll all we'll all agree that there is such a thing as innate
physical talent like in the sense that you know when we talk about like footballers like messy
but there's just something like he was just designed to be a fucking footballer yes it's it's
it's it's years of practicing and training and having like the best doctors and scientists around but there's
also underneath all that there is just a capability in that man that other most other sporting
professionals don't have like i don't know if anyone's watched the documentary 14 peaks yet
but it's about this nepalese guy who climbs the 14 highest peaks in the world including mount
nevers they're all over 8 000 feet he does it in six months when the previous record was set by a German man
and that record was
I think it was
16 years
right
and he broke that record
so he broke the record
by 15 and a half years
aye aye
but this guy
is
he was
he's man
he's just designed
for
climbing mountains
like even he was like
I knew the first time
I climbed a mountain
literally five years ago
that I was designed
to fucking do this.
They do science on him.
They do science on him, Jesus Christ, I sound like a fucking Republican.
They do science on him.
It's called the Daniel Sloss experience.
But, like, they've got him cycling at, like, high altitude things
where most people pass out.
And he's just physically capable of doing it.
And that's because he was born at altitude from parents
that were born at altitude from parents who were born at altitude.
Like these pearl divers that, like,
they're just generationally used to diving under the water.
Yeah, but even then, there is also just, you know,
it's not like Messi's dad was a brilliant footballer
or his mum was a brilliant footballer or the grandparents.
Just sometimes you are just blessed with an instinct.
And it's very, very easy to see that in well not easy but
we we know it exists in physical professions like when we talk about michael phelps is the greatest
swimmer of all time his body is designed for swimming they're like man if you were to design
a swimmer it would be michael phelps if you were to if you were to sit down and design a runner
it would be usain bolt if you were to design a long distance runner it would
be more far these are people who just have the bodies perfectly capable like there's no amount
of training from birth to to to peak that jonah hill could do to get the same swimming as michael
exactly you've got a you've got a you've got a leg up with what you're born with yes we we can We can tell that in physicalness, but that does absolutely exist in mental jobs,
like comedy, acting, science, like psychiatry, any sort of job which requires your brain.
But because we know so little about the brain, we don't know what it is.
In fact, we don't know what it is so in fact we don't know what it is so much
that we don't even have a name for it the name for it is it like there is you know when somebody's
got it ages or they've got it they've got it it's the x factor yeah hi the singers there's just
there's something oh well i guess like freddie mercury is another example he had those teeth
that people will tell you made his voice better because they would go back on themselves and it made it reverberate
and that's why he had a powerful voice.
You've got all these amazing singers with better lung capacities
and throats that are fucking designed for it.
Whereas in these jobs where it's talent-based,
I don't know what the word I'm looking for, but creative jobs maybe,
there is that in the brain but we don't know what it is.
So the genius the g well look
we're not we'll not name names but you and me could walk around the comedy circuit and i could
point out every comedian that's never going to make it because i just go you're good and you can
point out people who have made it through trial and error yes through figuring it out and i think
there's a there's a lot to be said for that ability also,
but it's a different ability.
But that ability has its limits.
You absolutely can learn how to craft a joke.
You can learn how to have stage presence. You can learn how to deliver material.
But there is also, when you look at people like Bo Burnham,
when you look at people like Chappelle,
and again, whenever I speak of Chappelle,
we're always ignoring his previous work,
his most recent work, sorry.
There is just something else there,
something that is truly unteachable.
It's innate and you can see it in certain people
and you can absolutely witness the lack of of it in others and i do i
just wonder well one to mention with uh sean lock had that funny bone in abundance man yes that was
someone that you're like i watched like eight out of ten cats does countdown the other day and i'm
just like i've been fucking all at how quick he has access to stuff that looks written and it's
not written because it's very situational yep and you're just like, that is coming to him, that is coming to him in the moment as a well-crafted
bit. You can't write that, you can write it, but you couldn't come up with it there and then.
Anybody else would need to write it. You don't need to write it, it's right on the bouffe.
Something that would have taken us five hours in a writing room
together to write
is a bit
came fully formed
in your brain
in a moment
he gets them
things that like
even us as people
who are on a
good part of that
spectrum look at
him and he's
coming up with
stuff that like
you'll kick yourself
in the car three
days later if I'm
not thinking of
that in the moment
aye well that's
how I just feel
anytime I watch Bo Burnham which is just going oh man don't get me wrong I know I'm not thinking of that in the moment. Aye. Well, that's how I just feel any time I watch Bo Burnham,
which is just going, oh, man,
don't get me wrong, I know I'm good at my job,
but, like, never in my life have I just
gone, oh, there's a
glass ceiling,
which one day, hopefully, I'll reach
and I'll be able to touch the glass ceiling, but
I'm looking up Bo Burnham's... Get a closer
look. Yeah, yeah, and I'm just looking up
Bo Burnham's dress.
I'll be like
okay so this is my limits
and because
I've reached my limits
I'm very fucking proud
but
there is just
an extra level
you'll just be there
steaming up the glass can
but I didn't have to
fucking sing to get here
I didn't have to die
in a musical comic
well no
I think my only
my only saving grace
with it is
is the fact that you know
His isn't stand up
And only on
It's not stand up
Inside was it stand up it was comedy
And it was a comedy show but there was nothing stand up
About it and I even think his
Live shows what
Make happy and
Words words words were
You know There was the stand-up
aspects to them but they were more just a performance so that's what i that's my only
saving grace in that i'm like okay stand-up wise we can be peers i'll never step into theater like
you do no no no but then again imagine like i think that's just how everyone must unless you're the best of the fucking best i think everyone feels that way
like bull burner must feel that way about tim minchin and hans taewon who also fucking
influenced him like i imagine you know uh messi probably looks messi probably just goes i'll never
be as good as maradona like i think i still have that like um respect for you not just respect for elders
but respect for your role models i don't think it's here man i'm doing a i'm doing a gig tonight
um on a on a lineup with let's get this right johnny vegas griff griff reese jones is hosting
it johnny vegas ed burn um eddie is odd stephen fry clive anderson just a fucking ridiculous like not just talent but like
wealth of success in years that are massively bringing the average down on
lucky lucky i didn't deal with imposter syndrome because that would be fucking torture in there
yeah i like i'm gonna work in there guy and nah I'm not meant
to be here
but I'm just gonna
smile my way through it
and like fucking
have a nice time on stage
I hope you don't mind
bye
well it's just also
it's
this is such a
not a horrible word to use
but it's a fucking
you know
I just don't like the phrase
but it is
British comedy royalty
aye
across the board
like it's undeniable
what
Eddie has done
over
her career.
I'll make sure you get that right.
Because she's now gone.
It's not just cross-dressing now.
She's she.
I don't trip up
that much when I'm talking to someone directly
because I never use pronouns when I'm talking to people.
It's only something you can
slip up when you're talking about someone.
Yeah, about them.
But I don't think she's it's only something you can slip up when you're like tagging about someone yeah about them so alright
but I don't
I don't think she's
she's not
it's not a they thing
I always get fucking
confused with the pronouns
just
and this is a very
good on her as well
because that would have
been a very male
line up otherwise
thank god
no

Koch
I think
I've not met him
I've not
I've not got good
looks what I mean
aye
no I'm just off to
Norwich to do
fuck all
because there is nothing
and I
and
being that
there's nothing you could do
to get me to do another gig
this year
more travelling you don't need to do
no
for me
like
when when you said you didn't want to dare there was part of me that was like I don't need to do no for me like um when when you said you didn't want it there
there was part of me that was like i don't want to do the travel but i can't pass up on that and
now regret passing up on it like you've you've worked with most mx before ed burn was on your
sitcom when you were like 12 years old like eddie is the reason eddie's the reason we started touring
well one of the reasons we started touring in Europe
because she'd done it before
I think she was like
the first British one to do it, I know like
Russell Peters and Burr and
Gabriella Iglesias had done it but when
Marlena was like you need to tour Europe and I was like I don't want to
fucking do that, that sounds stupid, she phoned up
and was like Daniel it's Eddie
I was like
and she was just like,
I think you've got to do it.
It's very fun.
And, you know,
she's fucking class.
And I've met Stephen Fry before.
Stephen Fry,
he won't remember this,
but I did Rob Brydon's show.
It was like my third or fourth
ever bit of television.
And I was doing my routine.
Stephen Fry was also on the show
and he was backstage.
And my mum was down with me and I went on stage and I fucked doing my rotating, Stephen Fry was also on the show, and he was backstage, and my mum was down with me,
and I went on stage,
and I fucked up the set,
like at one point,
you're not meant to swear on television,
especially on the BBC,
and all the people that fucking complain about censorship
don't actually care about fucking censorship,
you can't talk about marijuana on the BBC,
but nobody ever fucking complains about that,
you can't say cunt on the fucking radio,
those are actual bits of censorship,
but never what the right complain about
when they say censorship.
They're just like,
I can't say packy and tranny anymore.
That's what you mean by censorship.
You can't say the horrible things
that you want to say
whereas actual censorship
is genuinely taking place.
You're never trying to bring that down.
You're never trying to bring that down.
It's not.
It's not about free speech for you.
You just want to say the horrible words
and you don't want to fucking change
because you're a bastard.
That's your version of fucking free speech.
And I swear, I say, fuck it, whatever.
My mum flinches because she knows
that I'm going to have to redo it
or it might get cut.
And Stephen Fry put his hand on me
and went, don't worry,
I'm going to go on and say cunt a lot.
Did he?
Properly calmed her down.
Great.
The guy who read
a Harry Potter audiobook.
Because my mum,
we're all big Stephen Fry fans,
but in that moment
she wasn't a Stephen Fry fan,
she was a mother
watching her 19-year-old son
on television
and it didn't matter
that Stephen Fry was it.
Nothing could take her away
from, oh god
and then just this
lovely, you know, man
who's done so much on British television, like
literally royalty, just goes
don't worry love, I'm going to say
cunt a whole bunch
So like you've had them moments
and you've been on Graham Norton and you've had them things
where like to you that's just like
another one, but for me I'm, I can't not be on that.
So even though, like, I'm in the same boat as you with the...
I'm travelled out and I've just put my hand up for more travelling.
I'm gigged out and I've just put my hand up for another gig.
It's something I've got to do.
I'd literally fucking hate myself if I looked back
and I hadn't done that.
Man, you could fucking tell me that 500 metres down the road,
Patrice O'Neill had come back to life and was asking me to support him.
And I would not do that gig.
That's where you're at.
I wouldn't do the gig.
Couldn't give a fucking shit, mate.
You're not, there's nothing you could do to get me.
I've got four gigs left in me this year.
And thankfully that's all we have.
I have four gigs left in me. year and thankfully that's all we have i have four gigs left to me i don't have an extra fucking minute we've got about seven but no we don't i don't
know we've got norwich perth bristol bristol bristol bristols because once again live nation
and marlene i do not ever listen to the please no double shows double shows are the death of comedy
the absolute death of comedy
nothing is less funny
how did that get through
we've made that really clear
that we didn't
because Live Nation and Marlena
don't care
aye
aye
that's
some more dirty laundry for you
enjoy the shows guys
we're going to have a game face on for you
and we'll get through
I think
four days left
is four days is
what I've got in
my head because
it's Perth is
one day
Bristol's two
and Apollo's
one so that's
four I've got
four four days
worth of shows
left in me
Norwich Perth
Bristol London
is that what
we've got left
this is something
we're nearly
there
nearly fucking
done
I've been I've
been a bit
miserable with everything lately,
especially waking up with a hangover yesterday.
I had a lovely time at the wedding and that,
and it just meant that I was put into a hangover
for this horrible travel day that got made worse.
But, oh, you know, when we got on the bus as well,
the train was late for the connecting bus,
so there was two trainloads of people
trying to get onto one bus,
and instead of like instead of
having any formula right they got everyone to pile forward as a group like you're on the docks
getting chosen for a job back in fucking prohibition or whatever right and um and they
started picking people one by one one two counting 50 out there's about 150 people in the crowd
may please may you can pick me and like picking folk and all that meant
is the most
rude
selfish
obnoxious people
that's the most
anti-British thing
I've ever fucking heard
the one thing
I saw people push in front
of a man holding two kids
like he had
he had a child in each hand
and like
people
manoeuvred round
to get in front of him
and I was just like
you're gonna do that
you're gonna push in front of children
I was just
they were torn deaf
it was like
they needed to get leg that's also
I'm very against that
that feels like
British people queue
and it's the thing
I've always despised
about other countries
is their inability
to fucking
queuing is fair
queuing is fucking fair
it's unbiased
and it fucking exists
were you there first
congratulations
but there wasn't
an opportunity to queue
the way they'd done it there was they could could have gone form if you were on the first train
form a fucking queue there was nowhere to start it on now it was just like because there was
it was a small train station and everyone's bundled in the train station and in the thing
and they go right the bus is down there and everyone just moved as a unit and it wasn't like
it was just a it just got funneled everyone just got
funneled through so it was if it was a funnel in that the people at the front were getting it but
it just meant that like you could try and manipulate and get runned or like people it was just fucked
it was just really fucked and i was there again i i literally even tried to put my hand in my pocket
and pay for a different train because i was like if there's any direct trains even if they're like
expensive and it's going to be i'm going to be gigging for free tonight just to get
there i would have done it for me hangover sake and for me mental health sake and there was no
other option to get there like apart from fucking maybe if i got a car but that would have been
maybe i would be running the day at a loss a serious loss and i might as well have got a taxi
home if that's the case um so i i come in i was fucking sad it's it's it's quite um it's quite
hard being miserable around you as well because it's like complaining about a sore throat when
someone's got cancer because you do miserable so hard well if i come in being miserable it doesn't
feel like it counts well no but but it's also like i was thinking about this the other day
when you were like i'm going through the same thing and i'm like man i'm not one of the people
who thinks a problem shared
is a problem halved
I couldn't give a fuck
if you're miserable too
it doesn't make any difference
to my life
the fact that we're sharing it
and going through the same thing
doesn't offer me any solace
or any relief
or any of this stuff
no I was trying to offer you solace
I was just saying like
don't put this on me
like I don't want to put
the weight of your misery
on my shoulders
because I've got my own
aye but I'll just sit there and be miserable and I'm fine with being miserable because I'm miserable a to put the weight of your misery on my shoulders because I've got my own.
But I'll just sit there and be miserable.
And I'm fine with being miserable because I'm miserable a lot of the time
and I've got no problem with it
because I know it's temporary.
But I also know that none of the things
that work for other people work for me.
Going to the gym doesn't make me feel better.
Drinking lots of water doesn't make me feel better.
Meditating doesn't make me feel better.
Not taking drugs.
Yeah, but I'm sober.
None of it's
helped none of it when i'm miserable i'm just miserable i accept that about myself and i'm
fine and i know for other people they're like you're really and man i know man when i'm in a
bad mood the bad mood spreads around a fucking room but i'm like i can't i can't check do you
want me to be the only thing that would make me more miserable is if i had to fucking pretend
to be fucking happy like if i had to fucking pretend to be fucking happy
like if I had to be like
no no
how's your day
no no no
that's the bit that would just make me
the energy cost would not be worth it
yeah not fucking
man that's what I do after shows for fans
I'm not doing it in my fucking everyday life
like I am able to
after I walk off stage
of a show that I don't want to fucking do
and meet fans afterwards
I'm able to put on the mask and go thank you so much for coming because i am grateful i'm very
grateful those people turned up i am not putting that mask on in my fucking normal life ever ever
it's fake disingenuous and it's the only thing that makes me more miserable i've been finding
it hard just to have like energy just to do day-to-day things now like you know even just
keeping on top of your hygiene showering brushing your teeth
getting out of bed
like it just feels
like there's a
fucking weight on you
constantly
and it's not
to do with sleep
like I slept
for I had my
solid eight hours
eight and a bit
and I woke up
this morning
I didn't want to
get out of bed
and it's not that
I wanted to go
back to sleep
I just didn't want
to get out of bed
it's because you
weren't fucking
nottingham
not until nottingham but it's because you weren't fucking not in them not until I'm not in them
but it's not where I live
waking up
not where you live
is not
a pleasant experience
it is if you're on
if you're on holiday
and you've been at home
and like
working from home
and you've been at home
all the time
but you know
when you're like
now into your like
whatever 20th week
of touring
I don't like it
and you wake up
and you
like it used to be cool waking up
and trying to discover where you are.
You know, I wake up like,
what town am I in now?
I'd had this novelty and I'm like,
I just want to know where I am when I wake up.
Aye.
So I've realised it's not tiredness
that I'm going through at the minute,
it's fatigue.
Aye.
It's like I'm genuinely fatigued
by the experience and I need to break out from it. And I know it's like, the light fatigued by the experience
and I need to break out from it.
And I know it's like the light at the end of the tunnel.
You're allowed to be fucking fatigued.
Man, in the same sense, man, when you're happy,
everyone always tries to go, right, let's remember this moment.
I'm going to experience happiness fully, wholeheartedly.
I'm going to be really fucking
present in the moment i do that with misery i'm just like right i'm miserable there's no point
there is absolutely no point in fighting it the only way i well at least for me the only way for
me to get emotions out is to fully experience bottling them up and pushing them down saves
them for later and then makes me feel those emotions to other people that i don't want to feel them like if i bottle up anger or whatever
it'll come out when somebody fucking cuts me off i'm not angry they cut me off i don't care if you
get to this fucking place before me but because i didn't feel anger in the moment yesterday it's now
bubbling over now you're right your writing comes from your anger as well like if you do material
it comes from that anger so you can look at that do material, it comes from that anger. So you can look at that like,
you can look at that as a resource.
So you're going,
yeah,
I might feel like shit,
but at least I've got access to,
to my motivation and my drive and my resource.
My writing comes from when I'm having a laugh with my pals.
Like if I'm having a fucking laugh in the moment and you're spitballing and fucking,
you're doing bits.
That's what I'm like.
I have,
that's,
that's what I want to do on stage.
I don't get an out for miserable stuff.
Like when I do ranty comedy It looks like the character
Aye
I love misery
It's my fucking oil man
Like I always
What about bucket big fears
Is
You know
Because I've wanted to be a dad for so long
I know it'll make me very very happy
And I'm like
God my comedy better not fucking change
Aye
Because I don't want I don't want to be a miserable
dad because I do my big fear is I do not want my son to turn out anything like me at all. I don't
want him to want to be a comedian. I don't want him to be miserable. I don't want him to be fine
when he's miserable. I want him to be happy and just do things. I don't want him to be miserable I don't want him to be fine when he's miserable I want him to be happy
And just do things
And I don't want him to get anger
I don't want my son to have the hate that I have
Because I've got a lot of fucking hate
Minimum once a day
I will spend five minutes looking at someone
Hoping they get cancer
Or hoping something really bad happens to a family member of theirs
Because I fucking hate them
This hate, I don't know where it comes from
My parents have always been confused
about where this,
just this well of fucking
deep-rooted hatred comes in me.
But it exists.
And it's,
thankfully,
I'm able to channel it into stand-up
as opposed to
becoming a mass murderer,
which was the other fucking option for me.
But I don't want...
Are you a school shooter
that found an outlet?
Man,
I would have been
a fucking bigot.
I would have been a right-wing I would have been a right wing fucking
full on
fucking Tommy Roberts
here thy neighbour
yep
I would have been
one of those fucking bigots
had I not found
stand up comedy
100%
100%
I would have been
fucking far right
I would have been
a racist
I would have been
just all the
because I would have
because you wouldn't
have had a way
to figure out your emotions,
and unpack your emotions,
and realise how you're wrong,
and,
and the only place,
because I couldn't channel,
my hatred on stage,
I would have channeled it,
onto the people,
that I thought I hated,
as opposed to going,
all right,
why do I actually,
hate these people,
and what,
what does this,
where does this come from?
Like,
imagine you,
with a dead-end job,
and financial difficulty.
Oh man, I reckon I would get to...
I reckon I'd get 27 kills before they got me.
And that's perfect.
You've even got the look.
Aye.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think this is the only parallel universe
where I don't have a kill to my name.
And it's because I found
the theatre
the arts
Shall we go and have a cup now with Dean?
Yeah let me go squeeze a baby
God Dean and our friends Dean and Candice
they've got two wonderful
kids, one of them is three now
and she's great but you've not met
you've not met Millie yet, she is just a happy baby just an absolute happy baby like i walked in the door
and man man if you want if you ever want to quell my misery hand me a baby like that's my
you know i've said this but you know how like dangling keys for a baby that's babies are my
keys dangling a baby for you yeah yeah i find it impossible to be fucking miserable for a baby that's babies are my keys dangling a baby for you
yeah yeah yeah
I find it impossible
to be fucking miserable
around a baby
and then dangle you
dangle you for an audience
also the last person
to dangle a baby
was Michael Jackson
so that's
maybe not the best
fucking analogy
also feel free to quote me
on this when I'm like
I'm never miserable
when I've got a baby
in my arms
when I'm a father
imagine
imagine that definitely changed once I'm fucking sleep deprived and I'm like, I'm never miserable when I've got a baby in my arms when I'm a father. Imagine that.
Definitely change once I'm fucking sleep deprived
and I'm like, it won't go away.
Why is it still here?
Bye.
Let's go squeeze a baby.
Yes.
