alright motherfuckers
thank you for tuning in to Sloss and Humphries
on the road on this
week's episode
I do a big
well not really a long apology
but you know we've complained
so much on the past couple of
episodes of podcasts because we're very tired
that I thought I'd try and refresh you with a bit of
you know sincerity the other way
we spoke about
toxic relationships,
the worst type of relationships to be in,
why all jealous people are bastards
and they'll never improve.
So if you are a jealous person, enjoy it.
Here's your trigger warning, you selfish cunt.
And then we spoke about school for a bit.
And yeah, I mean, I laughed.
Sloss and Humphreys on the road.
Muggins and cream creaming muggins
straight thugging
living the dream
that's our intro
fucking muggles
tickling the clit
inside your head
that makes you laugh
they said it can't be done
are we in the same seats
that's hack
oh muggles
accidental
rim job in the park
kiss kiss kiss
or am I just being cynical
just muggled it up
on fucking
mugglepedia
where have you been since 9-11 see your lass the park. Kiss, kiss, kiss. Or am I just being cynical? Just muggled it up on fucking Mugglopedia.
Where have you been since 9-11?
So your lass just died laughing telling me a story about you snogging the pillow.
Well,
she's such
a horrendous storyteller.
I was like, she'll get you on the podcast to tell it.
I mean, it would have been funny in that she couldn't breathe
for laughing.
But it would have took the first five minutes to get out the story
that I'd just done in the first sentence
she's got this
thing where
if she
and in any other person
I find it the most annoying quality in the world
like there is that one
promoter that we'll never ever ever work again
with in Europe
for the sake of professionalism
i'll not name him i met him twice and i looked marlena dead in the eyes and i said if you ever
employ that man again you are fired not just him you are fired because he was just this cunt who
would tell unfunny stories and then laugh his way through them um yeah you would preemptive laugh
so that like this next bit's gonna you're gonna love but like the preemptive laugh so that like this next bit
you're gonna love
but like the preemptive laugh
wasn't a genuine laugh
it was like
and you're like
you knew what was coming next
was gonna be underwhelming
but you knew he'd cued you
that it was meant to be funny
so you had to kind of like
ha ha ha
it was
like really
sapped the energy
out of you
being in his company
but also
he did shit like
he did shit like pay for the hotel wifi of you being in his company But also He did shit like He did shit like
Pay for the hotel wifi
When you booked your room
Right
And bitch and moan about it
And then bitch and moan
That he had to pay for
Your hotel wifi
And you're like
Just fucking whatever
Take it off the tour
One time I was over there
And one of the other acts
On the bill was like
Is there any chance
You could source us
Just some marijuana
We'd just fancy
Something like bed before
Some weed before bed
And then he did
And Kept it Kept it And we were like Can we get a joint I would just fancy Something like bed before Sorry Some weed before bed And then he did And
Kept it
Kept it
And we were like
Can we get a joint
And he would roll his one
And we're like
I'm fucking sorry
Do
Am I 14 years old
And this is my first spliff
And you're fucking
It's weed that you've paid for
It's not just like
Oh you can have some of mine
No it's not weed
I've paid for
It's a mire
You're the promoter
Buy me fucking drugs
Grow up
What the fuck are you talking about
Like if it was a bag of coke
fair enough it's
fucking weed
hold on I wanted to
say no he was just
giving you some of
his weed
no we were like
get us weed he got
his weed that's part
of the fucking deal
you don't then limit
it's not like he
bought us kilo and
we were like we have
the fucking kilo
give us the fucking
weed
it's like yeah if
you're going like oh
quick can we get some
booze backstage and
they're like ah yeah
yeah but I'm going to keep it in my office
and you're not going to ask
everything on a beer
no the reason he was doing it
is because he knew
we would smoke it without him
because we didn't want to
fucking hang out with him
so the reason he kept it
was like
well if you want to smoke it
you've got to hang out with me
like well
well then I need coke as well
because it's the only way
I'm going to want to
fucking talk to you
except if I'm fucking
geared at me not
anyway Cara's her version of story is that she finds it funny Because it's the only way I'm going to want to fucking talk to you. Except I'm fucking geared at me now.
Anyway, Cara's, her version of the story is if she finds it funny,
you might as well leave the room until she fucking calms down before she can tell it.
She's got a big-ass pregnancy pillow in the bed, obviously.
The pregnancy pillow, because I just discovered what they were last week,
because when I went to that wedding, I stayed at my friend's house
who was also pregnant, and she's wrote us a pregnancy pill and it's like a it's like a
long it's a giant you that you have upside down in bed so that like you they can like spin it and
they can have it between their legs and stop their thighs chafing and then i also get so the belly
is up on a pillow you can't sleep on your back? No, no. I didn't, I did not know that.
No,
obviously you can't sleep on your front,
everyone knows that.
Oh yeah,
well that's a guy,
you just find that uncomfortable anyway.
You know,
you can only sleep. Like your face and your legs
wouldn't be on the bed,
you'd just,
you'd just be like one of them,
you know them,
as a kid you'd have like
an inflatable ball
with like a plastic disc around it
that you like jump on.
Do you ever get one of them?
Like the shape of Saturn. Saturn's one of them like the shape of Saturn
Saturn's a
wait the shape of Saturn
oh Saturn
not Satin
eh no no
oh I have some chemistry
with it
but you've got to
you can't take
you have to put the R
in Saturn
I've literally just
however
I've just described a ball
with a ring around it
and I went
you know the shape of Saturn
but it's not
you're saying Saturn
you're objectively saying Saturn Saturn that it's not you're saying Saturn you're objectively saying Saturn
Saturn
that's what I call Saturn
continue
Jesus
Saturn
I can't
I'm not gonna do that
no
just put it
Saturn
just Saturn
something like a
fucking Saturn
that's what I was saying
about like
Dick Whitton
I kind of said
Dick Whitton
Dick Whitton
I can't say it properly
because Dick Whittington aye I meanton I can't say it properly Because
Dick Whittington
Aye
I mean I feel like
There's middle ground
So there's some words
That I'm like
I'm not just going to
Break out of my accent
Again
Saturn
Well it does
If your words
Don't convey the meaning
That's you know
The point of language itself
Nah
Tune in
Tune in
Context is key
The Mike Malloy thing
That we talked about Just because it sounded Like I was saying Make instead of make They didn't know tune in tune in context is key the make Maloy thing that we're talking about
just because it sounded
like I was saying make
instead of make
they didn't know
who I meant
even though
I used the context
your friend who you arrived with
make Maloy
and they're like
make Maloy
that's that
it's that
no
Saturn is also
a thing
it's a homophone
Not for years
You're a homophone
Not for years, no, no, no
I've watched Rhys Nicholson kiss his man
I've watched
I've sucked Craig Hill's dick out
No, no, I've grown
So did they
So you're in bed with a
No, no, also You can't lie on your back Can't lie on no you can't lie on your back
can't lie on your belly
and you can only
lie on one
site
kind of
at once
at a certain
stage in pregnancy
because all of the organs
go up
so it can make way
for the baby
so apparently
and I don't know
how true this is
but all they have to do
is just tell you
one scary story
and then that'll
put the fear of God
on you
that's all pregnancy is by the way is people just going is just tell you one scary story and then that'll put the fear of God on you. That's all pregnancy is, by the way,
is people just going,
by the way, that'll kill your baby.
And they'll just point out.
You don't want to find out the hard way.
You don't want to find out the hard way.
So you're like, I guess I'm avoiding that then.
So if they sleep on one side,
apparently because all the organs pushed up there,
if you sleep on the wrong side,
all of their organs will just crush like their heart
or the baby or fucking shit.
So she's just constantly uncomfortable.
But it's a weird thing as well, which two nights well about four nights ago baby was not moving as much as it
normally does and it normally is like a little fucking pilled up dancer in there giving a rave
and it's always funny because whenever we get into bed he immediately starts moving because
when you walk around during the day the baby's like just been rocked to sleep and when you lie
down he's like oh right
we're still
now I can actually
physically do stuff
and so we always laugh
the second Cara tries to get to sleep
he starts dancing around
he's not dancing around
he's barely moving
and I'm like
it's dead
it's like it's over
like we've got to
phone the midwife
we've got to get this done
Cara's more sensible
I do all the worrying
for both of us
she's like look
we'll leave it to the morning
like if the baby had the decency
to just not move
from time to time,
you'd just be like,
it's just one of them not moving times.
But the fact that it's been a constant motion.
My thing is,
it's such a weird thing to just,
when you wake up and you go,
did you sleep well?
And she's like,
no, awfully.
I'm like,
get in.
Good news.
That's a good sign.
That means a good word.
If she woke up fully rested,
I'm like,
fucking,
all right,
it's time to Google small coffins.
It's not no news is good news with a baby. No, not for me. Maybe for other people, if
you're able to handle that better, much respect. So she's got the big ass fucking pregnancy
pillow. And there's been several times where, man, when I sleep, I've now realised being
sober for a bit, even when I'm not on weird drugs
I am a deep
motherfucking sleeper
like if I'm in there
I'm there
self fidget
so
occasionally during the night
I'll roll over
and I'll try and spoon Cara
the love of my life
and it turns out
what I'm actually doing
is I'm just stealing
the pillow from her
so I'll be
I'll be hugging Cara
and then some third person
will hit me in the face
and then tell me
to stop stealing their pillow
you don't know
any difference
so then I come out
and I'm like
Cara who's this
fucking
oh no
I've seen what I've done now
so she heard you
kissing it
we were in bed
you tried it on with it
you zipped your hands
down his pants
you did this to me
in Vegas
I did not
you fucking
knocked the hands
down the pants a bit but you definitely when I claimed the bed in Vegas I did not you're fucking not the hands doing the pants
bit but you
definitely
when I claimed
into bed in
Vegas I woke
up in Vegas
he was
oh that was
it I claimed
in because I
was asleep
under the air
conditioner
and I was
cold
imagine freezing
to death
in the
that's how I
went
that's like
that's like
when Steve
Irwin died
he was killed
by an animal
you went oh
yeah of course
he was
he went
stingray
you went
eh
that's not one of the killer ones
Colin McRae died in a crash
Did he? I'm not surprised actually
What kind of crash?
Helicopter
Are you sure?
Trip with the heli
So basically
Anyone claims into bed
You're just deep into them.
I just assume.
Well, because, right, since I've just started going out with Gara,
I don't share beds with other people.
So whenever somebody gets into a bed and I'm like,
you must be hurt.
I sometimes get that when I'm back home for the first time in ages.
I'll wake up and feel the presence in my bed and go,
what have I done? I'll wake up and feel the presence in my bed and be like what have I done
I'll fuck up at home
oh
Jesus
I have
I have nightmares
about cheating
right
the sex not involved
otherwise it'd just be
a cool dream
but like
you get nightmares
with the guilt
I get nightmares
what it is
is it's I don't I don't have the sex I get nightmares what it is is it's
I don't
I don't have the sex
I don't initiate the sex
I
I wake up in my
I'm in a dream
someone's just
climbing to bed
you know how it is
he's lying there
fast asleep
they're pillowy
that
I find out
that I've cheated
and it's
or it's like
literally just at the end
and then
and then I remember
Kara exists and that she's pregnant with my child and I'm like oh god what have I done in the
dream so you like your dream isn't just like you're playing it's like you're playing a computer game
you're like I get it I get a run over people in the street on grand fifth daughter but it's all
right I can put that down it's a game it don't affect my real life it's not like that it's like
you really feel like you've cheated on your wife and you get all of the fucking
aye
but it's the legit
theory of
you know
what was I thinking
Jesus Christ
what am I
what am I doing
in that situation
well I don't know
if I've asked this
question on the podcast
before I think I have
but it's like
you know
if you have a
wet dream
that you can
like you know
what's the name of
lucid
if you have a
if you have a wet
lucid dream I would argue what's the name of the dream? Lucid. Aye. If you have a wet lucid dream,
I would argue that's a form of cheating.
Nah.
Aye.
Because if it's a lucid enough dream,
you know it's a dream.
Aye.
So,
don't get me wrong,
like,
obviously,
it's cheating with hand on base.
Like,
they can't legit be mad.
But like,
they get mad at you
if you have sex in their dream.
So if you're,
yeah,
that's wanking our porn,
that.
It's not a bit.
That's how that is.
Nah.
You're just, you've got a belt's how that is you've got a belt
of porn on
you've got a really
immersive porn on
anybody's getting hurt
anybody's
I guarantee you
there are people out there
that get fucking jealousy
over that sort of thing
they exist
there's some
but they exist
on a level
that some lads
get bollocked
for watching porn
it's not just
man it's not just
fucking blokes
I will say across the board
because man
jealousy I've seen it on the other side as well I've seen horrifically illogically for watching porn it's not just man it's not just fucking blokes man I will say across the board because man jealousy
I've seen it on the
other side as well
I've seen horrifically
illogically
jealous fucking men
I think
it's
one of the worst
personality traits
you can have
and people do not
fucking correct it enough
they're just like
oh I'm jealous
and you go
alright
that's your
fucking sort that out immediately oh I'm a ped you go alright that's your fucking sort that out
immediately
oh I'm a pedo
I love fucking kids
that's just
clip that onto a button
it's such a
it's that
it's that fucking
Paris thing
of like
we're just bastards
to people
and you go
right
objectively
all of you
change it then
you know what
I think the worst
form of jealousy is?
Pre-relationship jealousy.
One of my friends started giving out to me
about his last had been with somebody before they'd met.
And he was like,
but she didn't own up to it or something.
And then I found out she had,
and that's why I'm mad at her.
So he's trying to twist it now.
And I'm like, none of it matters.
None of it matters.
And if she's lying to you to cover up that she slept with him,
it's because she's fucking smelt that it's gonna be chaos
if she finds out
you're acting like a fucking psycho
you're bringing up things
that she did
actions she took
before she knew
of your fucking existence
aye
like you are
none of this affects you
the person that she is now
is the reaction
to all of the things
that happened before
and brought up at this point
like you can't
if you unpick that,
you're unpicking who she is as a person.
So, like, it was one of them things where it was,
when a friend's telling you,
because you're their mate and they want to try to get your side,
and you're like, I'm not on your side,
even though I'm hearing it from the point of view of you.
This is how wrong you are.
I've listened to you spit it and you're still fucking wrong.
Like, you're mad at,
you've told this from the perspective
of a victim
and I still am like,
you are a piece of shit.
You know, like,
I checked the behaviour
when he saw it
from the cool highlight.
And you know what it is
often with that?
It's like,
you're carrying that in
from a previous relationship.
Oh, that's another huge sin.
That means you're not
ready to get
into that relationship yet
because you've still
got the toxins.
Oh, sorry,
the reason that... You've still got the toxins. Oh, sorry. The reason that...
You've still got the one-up, Mr. Chib.
The reason I don't like you drinking,
like going out and drinking at night with your friends
is because my last partner used to go out drinking
with their friends all the time
and they'd come back and be really mean to me.
Like, oh, cool.
Go to fucking therapy
and talk to a therapist about that.
Why on earth are you bringing anything
that happened
in your previous
relationship
to this one
and I'll listen
and I'll be fucking
sensitive to it
but how fucking
dare you
put me in the same
ballpark
as this person
you fucking left
because they were a cunt
all you
all you motherfucker
leave that behind
or get the fuck
out of this relationship
you're not ready
you're immature
and you're damaged
aye and then you can I drink. You're immature and you're damaged. Aye.
And then you can't...
I'd drink if that's not what you like.
I'm not for you.
Off you fucking popcorn hole.
Why are you doing it instead of looking for someone
that works for you?
Why are you looking for someone that doesn't work for you
and then twisting them with a compliance
until there's somebody they don't recognise themselves
so that you've...
But he did this so you must be the same thing.
Alright, well, there's no no this can't go any fucking further
also
we were speaking about this
the other day
what's worse
cheating
or
going through someone's phone
I think
they're both
acts of betrayal
100%
they're both
betrayals of trust.
You're going to go ahead and say the cheating's worse.
But by millimetres.
They're both a goal.
One of them's a fucking top net 18 yards
and the other one's fumbled in,
but they're both a goal for the same team you know they're both betrayals um
i think if i if i found myself looking through natalie's phone whether it was on a hunch whether
it was just you know just to have a little look what's going on like out of now what's happening
with her personal life like i'm aware quite a bit has anything been if I found myself
looking through her phone
I would feel like
I was properly
betrayed
I think I'd get
the exact same emotions
if I climbed
like if I climbed
into another woman's bed
I would
I'd have the same
like
the synapses
would be firing
like fucking
the red flags
of your behaviour
would be fucking
showing up.
I would rather Cara found me
going through her mum's underwear drawer
than me going through it.
And by the way,
and that is better.
That is objectively clear-cut better.
Like Cara could walk in on me
sniffing her mouth,
just go,
oh yeah, there it is, there.
That is objectively
unequivocally better than
her walking in on me going through her phone
aye
oh oh
one of my
let's say one of my mates
texted a friend and then like a few
a while later
got a text message back off the phone
off the friend's partner
you saying why wasn't i invited to this thing it wasn't even like a real deceitful thing it was
just to like invite to them and i was like oh where's my invite and they're like whoa what the
fuck now my my now my relationship's compromised with this person because i'm not just texting
that person i'm texting two people yeah oh by the, and if you're one of these fucking psychos
that's listening to this conversation going,
how can these two people say
that going through a phone is as bad as cheating?
Because even if your partner is cheating, right,
and you're going through the phone,
you have no idea what else is in that fucking phone, right?
You've no idea.
You're not going into a bank to find a fucking jewel.
You're breaking into someone's house and just looking at at fucking everything you don't know the conversations they're having
with their parents you don't know the conversations are having with their friends you don't know where
their mental health is at but and you don't because you don't trust them you're a bad fucking person
there are so many other things you're looking for one thing but it's not like a needle in a
fucking haystack you're going it's like lifting off the top of their fucking brain we do everything
everything on our phones all of your insecurities your insecurities, all of your fears,
all of your worries, all your hopes and your dreams
and everything, conversations.
You've got the fucking gall to go into somebody's private thing.
All your hypocrisies.
All the stuff you've said you didn't mean.
You're just trying to have...
Banner. Out of context fucking banner.
He has some foot as well.
Like, you know, if...
Say if Cara cheats on you, if if big if when when harry when
when cara cheats on you she's cheating on you right but you know if she looks through your phone
and she's looking at conversations with you and all your friends she's actually betrayed a bunch
of other people as well like there's other people that are being betrayed in that scenario. And they're all smaller betrayals
than the one where you cheat on the person.
But there's still more people caught in the crossfire.
Like, man, if I told one of my friends a secret
or confided in them or something,
I don't want that person to just go,
oh, right, there we go, broadcast.
Anybody want to look at me phone?
Do you want to dive in?
Especially if you've gone through somebody's phone
and somebody else,
or they have fucking revealed a secret,
you've now just got fucking horrific amounts of ammo
and you're already fucking angry
because you're retail
and you're going to use that.
How do I know that you're going to use it?
Because you're the type of immature person
that goes through somebody else's phone.
So you are a spiteful,
vindictive person
and you are heightened in your emotions.
And when you are like that,
you do illogical, evil things. Like honestly, if I was in a relationship spiteful vindictive person and you are heightened in your emotions and when you are like that you
do illogical evil things like honestly if in if if i was in a relationship right and
uh i cheated on them right and then they found out because they went through my phone i'm like
one all and it's over like oh yeah i would be like oh yeah i went wrong for each other
and they're like are you sorry I'm like well I was
I definitely was
but I think it was
I think it was right to cheat
because I think
you're like that
aye
I didn't know at the time
you are the type of person
that should be cheated on
if that's your behaviour
actually now that I think about it
and I know this is
a self-fulfilling from prophecy
and I know you're going to
take this into the next relationship
and I know you're going to
go through that person's phone
because you're not going to
do anything to get rid of all the problems relationship and I know you're going to go through that person's phone because you're not going to do anything
to get rid of all the problems that you have
because you feel justified in this
because for this one example,
you have been correct.
You're going to carry this into every single relationship
in the future.
And for that, I'm sorry,
because clearly I've cemented you as a cunt
for the rest of your fucking life.
And this is the thing,
Natalie's got the passcode for my phone
and she can go in
and like
if she needs to get
something off my phone
like if
if she wants to use
my bank card
on my Apple Pay
or something like that
right
or if
just get a phone number
off it
she doesn't need me there
to get into my phone
if she needs to be
on my phone
but I do that
because I trust
that she's not
going to go through it
if I thought for a second
that she was going to
start going through my shit
I'd pass her that
because that's mine
aye
oh also by the way
I show Cara
anything on my phone
like she kind of
came up and go
can I see this conversation
you have with this person
I go yeah alright
I've got nothing to hide
but it's not about that
I wouldn't feel comfortable
with Natalie going through
our group chat
with the comedians
I don't think it's fair
you know what
she could say
any of them things
and say it but I don't think it's fair you know I actually could say any of them things and say
but I don't think
it's fair for
like any of you
lot to then have
you're in a group
that's closed with
10 close mates
and now all of a sudden
you're in a group
with 20 people
because everybody's
got a partner
like I think
there's an etiquette
to be had there
whenever we're having
good banter I do
show kind of clips
yeah you'll sample
you're going to have
a look at that
you know what I say
on my worst days
when we're fucking
eating each other's throat
and making cunts of ourselves
aye
times we've embarrassed ourselves
having horrible arguments
doubling down
she's like
is that the man I'm marrying
is that who you are
is that how toxic you are
with your past
it's the football group
it's not my fault
aye
erm I had a fucking meh this morning aye em
I had a fucking
mare this morning
to change the subject
I fucking
because you know
the day right
where em
we're going back on tour
from today
so I'm staying at your house
because we've got flights
in Edinburgh
we'll play the board game
we'll talk about that
in a minute
and em
also just before we do
get into this
how fucking class
has it been to have
a weekend off
oh so good
I haven't been well
and it's still been class
I decided when I was
on my couch
with my dog
with my lass
watching the football
with a beer
right
ill as fuck
which no COVID
I've tested negative twice
but just classic man flu
sniffles
sneezing and that
oh so cancerous
aye yeah
so how you doing
Jesus Christ
I don't know,
is that bad?
It's been pretty bad,
I'm going to be honest.
That sounds fucking horrific.
But I've decided I'd rather be ill.
Like you told pregnant Cara.
I just completely,
aye,
put her life into perspective.
Right,
I thought,
I thought you meant in case she catches it.
Oh,
no,
no.
Women can't catch a man flu.
That baby survived fucking everything at this point.
I was just saying,
like,
the mental state I'm in,
I'd rather be ill at home
than the fittest I've ever been on the road right now.
That's just where I was at.
So I've had a lovely weekend off,
apart from Newcastle getting me a phone-in and being ill.
Aye.
So what I did is, because it's Christmas and that,
I bought a bunch more books to sell
you know how I did it last year
but last year
it was locked down
I hadn't had any
other job
so
this time
it was a bit more like
I've got to get it all done
in this weekend
if I want everyone to have these books
before Christmas
I've got to put it out there
order like
order before the weekend
I'll get them posted before Monday
and
they're still available on order
I just kind of guarantee
before Christmas now they probably would if you're in the UK they'll probably them posted before Monday. They're still available on order, I just kind of guarantee before Christmas now.
They probably would.
If you're in the UK,
they'll probably reach you before Christmas
because I can do a post run on the 18th.
But it just meant that I wanted to get everybody
who ordered this weekend posted on Monday.
And Natalie's been helping us out with it
and that question hasn't pushed.
And I went to the post office this morning at nine
and it was one of them where it's like
in the back of the shop.
There's the co-op and then there's the post office at the back and i got in the co-op was open but like the post office opens at 10 but there's one at harvey avenue so i went
to harvey avenue there's fucking open at nine am i really late i tried to get there for before up
and like nine o'clock and i get there i caught up last name because i went the different one
fucking queue wrap on the block and i'm like I guarantee if I can't wait
in that empty shop now
I'll get to the
front of the queue quicker
than if I join this queue
so I can't back to the other one
so this time
it's like half past nine
and I got in the shop
and I had my box of books
and that
and like posters
for the dads
for the parents
thank you for the subscribers
yeah
everybody who's
ten pound patron now
the posters are sent
so they're sent now
so if you're still waiting for it
it's on the way
so I had all of my books and all that
and I went in and there was an EQ
and it didn't open for half an hour and I was just like
I'm just going to wait here because the queue's a bit long
she was like you can't wait in the shop
I'm guessing like Covid stuff and I was like I'll wait in the car
and she was like you can't post all that I was like what do you mean she was like there's no way you can't wait in the shop I'm guessing like Covid stuff and I was like I'll wait in the car and she was like and you can't post all that
I was like
what do you mean
she was like
there's no way
you can't get through all that
and you know what
I'd done the majority of them
in the post box
because you can print out the labels
any UK ones
I could just put as a large
I put them in
but some of them
had all had more than two books
some of them were overseas
I fucking had about like
50 items
that I had to post
and she just wouldn't accept them.
There was no queue.
There was nobody in the shop.
I was half an hour early, and she just wouldn't accept them.
And I was like, so what do I do?
She was like, I don't know, like you can send five and then queue again.
I was like, like 10 times?
She was saying like the queue's going to be big when it starts.
She's like, the queue's going to be big behind you.
And I was like, well, do you want us to start like filling in the customs forms
on the back of the new and that and separate them into piles
so I can get some stuff done pre-ordered, pre-organised?
Is that when you're opening it?
She's like, nah.
She's American?
She's Scottish, mate.
And you know what as well?
She sounds American.
I'd done this.
I didn't even mean it right.
I just went, oh oh this fucking country man
i meant britain all right i meant i meant i meant britain just because you know how fucked up
everything's been with the trains last week in that like this the whole infrastructure whole
infrastructure of this country is fucking in tatters man and uh and i just went oh this country
man and then realized like i'm in scotland i'm in glasgow i've got went oh this country man and then realised
like I'm in Scotland
I'm in Glasgow
I've got a fucking
Geordie accent
I'm clearly
not Scottish
and I didn't mean it
but I nearly followed her up
well fucking heaven forbid
you get independence
you can't fucking deal with it
aye aye aye
it's Her Majesty's
fucking post office
nah but
it's your problem
but Danny
I've
I've
I've
I've
I've
I've
I've
I've
I've
I've
I've
I've
I've
I've
I've
I've
I've
I've
I've
I've
I've
I've
I've
I've I've I've I've I've I've I've I've I've I've I've I've I've I've I've I've I've I've I've I've I've I've and now this wouldn't happen in London
I'm sorry but that wouldn't happen
in London
they've got an operation going on
doing there
I've never
it's nothing to do with Scotland I was just fucking up the high door
and it's like
if you're in Spain and that
thing happens you hate Spain
if I haven't been in Spain it that thing happens you hate Spain no no no you know what I mean
if I haven't been in Spain
it was objectively
the Spanish person's fault
well it was hard for us
to not just go in this
tiny little country
it was hard for us
not to go in like that
this little fucking village
of a country
it was really hard
because I'm like
what do I do
do I have to go into England
to post these
just go to a different
post office
you saw what happened
to the different post offices
wrapped around the block
and that's what it
was here last year
as well but I had
all the time in my
hands
I basically last
time when I did
it your local
post office
that has a massive
queue as well
I waited an hour
at a time for that
and done them
at least they
pushed them
through
so it's a
standard rule
then
that's a standard
rule the post
office have
in Scotland
I don't know
the times I've been in London
there's been like
eight or nine
like fucking things
so even if you've got
loads of stuff
you're just bottlenecking it
you're not
blocking it completely
it's
I'm sure
I'm sure
there's bigger post offices
in Scotland
and I'm just being a whinge
I just feel like
that's one of the roles
where you just go
that's not
I don't know what it's to prevent
and as well
you know her rule there
when she was like
I can only take five items
she made that rule up
aye
that's a lie
you know like
what I really wanted to do
right was
send me
brown wife
and see if she'd make up
a rule on her
aye
oh well you're brown wife
it was a Scottish accent
I know
she'd probably just say
oh come on in
we'll take them out
I'm saying that
I was probably
the one being discriminated
no we don't discriminate
against the journeys
I've never felt it before
I didn't think that was it
I just think she was lazy
I think she was just like
I don't want to do that
so I'm not going to
anyway Natalie did it when I was at the dentist she went don't want to do that so I'm not going to anyway
Natalie did it
when I was at the dentist
she went to a different
post office
that was empty
at the dentist
have you heard of
a place called Bridgeton
in Glasgow
no
fuck me
man it was
rancid
well
it's Glasgow
and that turns out
I've lived in quite a
sheltered part of Glasgow
but because it's
one of our patrons
cheers Charlie
one of our patrons
got us in
because I'm getting
the Invisalign thing
which actually
we're not using Invisalign
it's like a different brand
I have no idea
what Invisalign is
Invisalign's like
you put in these
like covers on your teeth
and you get like
like every couple of weeks
you change them
as the shape of your teeth
change
and it just slowly moves
your teeth into place over the course of like whatever six months to the shape of your teeth change and it just slowly moves your teeth into place
over the course of like
whatever,
six months to a year
depending on how bad they are.
Braces.
They put them in,
not even braces,
more like a gum shield
that's non-intrusive and clear
and you can just live your life
while it's in.
You can't eat,
but it wouldn't affect my speech
and you wouldn't be able to tell
unless you were too close.
Not any more than it's already done.
No, I make it better.
But I'm serious saying the vain in Spain
falls mainly on the plain
fucking hell
are you predicting linguistic lessons
no no
these little bad boys
so I'm saying Invisalign
but it's not Invisalign
it's the name of the brand
it's like saying Kleenex
when it's actually a tissue
right
you know when you just say the brand
but he's like
oh it's exactly the same thing
it's just Invisalign
you're paying more money
for the marketing
and I was like
so these are like
the two stripe ones
he was like
exactly
they're going to work
two stripe
Adidas two stripe
now Callum
the two stripes
you know when you've got
like Adidas
and you get kids at school
that wear two stripes
and you're like
two stripes
sometimes you get four stripes
and you call them
Adistripe
that's just the most
whacking class
nobody at my school
Revered Adidas
Whacking dresses
Honestly
No
So you never saw
Like it's like
Oh I saw Jakey's
Wearing them
But I wasn't like
Fucking they look
Mint
Like there was a couple
Of cunty fucking neds
In my school
Who would wear them
But none of us
Thought they were
Class
Nah
Oh because you're
A pauv if you didn't
Have the three stripes,
if you had the two stripes.
Okay, so it's the little version of...
Aye, yeah.
Wow.
So I was like, you know what you're doing?
You're starting a fucking dentist practice in this place.
He was like, aye, he's mostly working in the denture game.
He's just like, New Year's coming up.
New Year's and Christmas is coming up
that's always a big time
of year
lots of people
getting fucking fighty
so that
basically I was
going to go in
and get my teeth
sort of like
the consultation
for my teeth
and Natalie was
going to go into
the post office
because she couldn't
take the dog
into the post office
and she was like
there's no chance
even for like
20 minutes
I'm leaving the dog
in the car
in this place
and I was like but I didn't feel right leaving you and the dog in the car when
i'm at the dentist all right so you have to come in you know you were saying there the um you know
he's he's clearly built a tooth place in glasgow because he's gonna get a lot of marketing there on a scale of uh one to ten like one being peggy and ten being
fucking hitler let's just use that one on a scale of one to ten on evilness
where do florists land for you for evil uh-huh oh because you think they're profiteering from
i don't think they're profiteering off a grief I know they're profiteering off a grief
This is such a cynical way of looking at it
Is it?
This is so cynical
Is it?
Because they're providing a service
That brings a bit of
Not joy to the occasion
But like a bit of ceremony
To an occasion
For that much money? They arm walked up a tiny bit
but still got to pay the rent and i always think this like you you've got you've got to you've got
to pay your overheads and i'm not comparing it to nazis that's why i gave you the flowers Oh, I... Man, every... I didn't want to think of it like that.
I'm just saying,
I'm just saying,
every time a child dies,
a florist is...
Making money.
Rubbing its fingers...
Oh, here we go!
Aye, I never even considered that.
They're profiteering from death.
Aye.
And love.
It's not on. It's a bit fucking... Oh, but surely they're profiteering from death aye and love it's not on
it's a bit fucking
oh but surely they're sweet people
surely their
surely their goal is to provide
like if you're going to be
maybe
I differ
maybe
but if your goal is to provide
then surely what you're doing is
you're looking at the areas going
loads of people die there
that's where I'll set up business because that's where I'll make the most money and then I'll be able to serve more people you're doing is you're looking in the areas going loads of people die there that's where I'll set up business
because that's where I'll make the most money
and then I'll be able to serve more people
you're like aye but you are just
you're looking for more day
aye they're like fucking businesses booming right now
there's a pandemic
this is fucking new variant dude
get the red panties on love
there's a fucking Omicron
look it's not
they're not
they're obviously not above five
they're not above five
on this scale
but they're not two
they're not
it's a calculated
I'm gonna profit off of
don't get me wrong
as a comedian
I fall in on
probably five or six
I will
make jokes about this
the holocaust 9-11
and everything else
in the fucking world,
and I profit off of that.
So I rate Florence below me on that scale, but...
Nah, because you're not directly profiting from death.
It's not like the more death, the more profit with a comic.
It's definitely the more death.
You're getting me on board.
I'm fighting your argument now.
I've went full circle.
I'm just going to sit over here.
And another thing.
So this lad, Charlie, he took,
have I had impressions of your teeth done?
Oh, yeah, I had to get them made.
It's like silly putty.
And he's like pushing them on.
He's like pressing them on
the thing
and he
he's chatting away
listening to the podcast
now
so already knows
a little bit
about what
what to her
and their lives
and that
so like
it was just
fucking nice
to have a
chat with him
and he was asking
about
getting back
from America
and how to find
New Orleans
because he's
been to New Orleans
quite a few times
and he was like
oh he got our flight cancelled back from there as well.
Like, I can relate because he heard the podcast.
We were getting stuck in Philly.
And he was like, aye, we got stuck on the runway.
And I was, so I've been chatting to him.
And then he puts the thing and I can't stop chatting to him.
And I was on the seat next to him.
It was fucking Stone Cold Steve Austin that fucking lost me mate
I couldn't react
I just had to lie there
underwhelmed
underwhelmed by him
sat next to Stone Cold Steve Austin
as soon as he got the impression
you kind of just drop a book
that is cool
I was like man that's fucking sick.
Aye,
that would,
aye,
that would send me,
Guinea.
You'd get Guinea,
wouldn't you?
Oh,
God,
yeah.
And you know what,
I wasn't even huge into wrestling,
but like,
the moment in time that I concentrated on the wrestling
and like,
showed an interest in it,
that was that.
Getting up in the corner,
asking for two cans of beer,
fucking smashing together
pouring them over his lovely pectorals the glass shattering oh good great entrance music
fucking oh god that is class i do get um i do get worried about how honest we are in this podcast
because like sometimes marlena doesn't nag but you know when she just gives an opinion
where you're like
I didn't need to hear
that opinion
keep that in your head
it's not
where she's just like
sometimes you're very honest
in the podcast
I'm like ah
that's the podcast
it's a chance for me
to fucking rant
and vent
and just be honest
and also I'm not very good
I am
in fact
I am very good at lying
I just don't enjoy
lying
it's effort to lie um the amount of people
that have been coming up to us after gigs in the past one week they're just like we're really sorry
you had to do this show and i'm like oh no it's not it's not the show it's not the show it's not
the show guys i promise you the show is the best bit of the day most of the time you're like
it was with X
that's why we didn't
do a podcast
through the back end
of that tour
aye aye
but no I promise
and then it's the kind
of
I'm really sorry
we wish you could
just be home
but we're really glad
you came
I'm like guys
no it's please son
that makes me feel
so much worse
the bit
it's never the show
right
well occasionally it's the show but whenever it never the show, right?
Occasionally it's the show,
but whenever it's the show that's notable,
it's the place, something fucked up,
or we're just in it,
or we just have a bad show.
Oh, if you see us in the airport, give us that.
Yes, aye. If you see us in the airport,
and you're excited because you got on holding,
you're not always in airports,
and you see us just going,
oh man, I'm sorry you're still in this purgatory.
Yes, aye. If you see us just going, oh man, I'm sorry you're still in this purgatory. Yes, aye.
If you see us having a silent Nandos together,
that's when you're allowed to be like,
please don't ever think,
my complaints about this tour
are always for the other 22 hours of the day.
It's the 22 hours of road.
It's the 22 hours of of road it's the 22 hours of nothingness it's it's the 22 hours of
just of not being with your loved ones and being away for extended it i promise you it's that like
it's like when you're ill right there's this amazing thing that happens when you walk on stage
that you are unable to piss yourself you are unable to piss yourself. You are unable to shit yourself.
Even if you've got diarrhoea.
You are unable to.
I haven't sneezed on stage.
And last week.
I was sneezing so much.
Because of the man flu.
Yeah.
I've never sneezed on stage.
It's.
It's just something happens.
Man.
There was times.
Remember fucking back in the days.
At MCAT.
Oh the meow meow.
Aye.
That fucking really horrible.
Horrible. Like. Methy. Plant food. Oh it's horrible. Horrible drug. in the days of MCAT? Oh, the meow meow. Aye, that fucking really horrible,
horrible,
like,
meth-y plant food.
Oh, it was a horrible drug.
It hurt when it went up your nose.
Aye. It was like a swarm of bees.
It just fucking made your eyes wide
and your fucking...
It was just giving you intensity.
It wasn't like the garden
that you got on Ekkies
where it was...
But it was just...
It would start, like,
killing your wrists in.
Aye, aye. Cerebral palsy in a fucking line, that's what it was. it would start like killing your wrist aye aye
cerebral palsy
in a fucking line
that's what it was
you just have a little bit of palsy
you're fucking one step away
from having spice
what are you doing really
I ate one step away
from fucking spice
there was that time
and I remember
it was Cheltenham
I remember exactly where we were
because we'd done so much
well not even that
we drank a lot it was my first time ever going into any sort of drugs like that because it was Cheltenham. I remember exactly where we were because we'd done so much. Well, not even that. We drank a lot.
It was my first time ever
going into any sort of drugs like that
because it was with all your Geordie mates.
So even though I considered...
Farnham?
Was it not Farnham?
No, it might have been after the Farnham gig.
Was it not that party where
a kid came up to me?
It was in a council estate in Blythe.
Aye.
It was my mate.
It was like fairway night or something.
He was setting some fairways off
and there was some bans there
And this kid went
Kai what are you eating
I went no
He went
Why are you chewing then
I went
I'm off my fucking tits mate
Yeah
Yeah
It must have been that time
And then we had a seven hour drive
To Farnham
No
It might have been
Farnham
It was definitely
Cheltenham
because I remember
because we were at
Cheltenham earlier
this year
and I remembered
the bathrooms
that I spewed
and had a sad wanking
so we got to
Cheltenham
and man
and I am spewing
like I remember
we went to
fucking Pizza Express
I ordered a lasagna
I took one bite of lasagna
And my body went
That
And a whole bunch
Of other shit's coming up
I spewed
Got to the point
Where it was the closest
I'd ever come to
Like cancelling a show
Like before I'm due to
I do remember
The Cheltenham gig
I remember the room
I remember the outside of it
Yep
I was
The worst condition
I've ever been in my life
You were laying on a wall for a bit outside
weren't you? Yeah, yeah, real real. And you were also bad, but I was just having like a horrendous fucking time with it
It was like I might be able to I might have to pull this
I don't want to do like obviously you're like we can't pull it like this and also
The audience went in
Yeah, and for some reason for some, Cheltenham was big numbers.
Like, this is before everything, right?
So like the other gigs
we were doing was like 50 to 60.
And then we get to Cheltenham on a Sunday
and they're like,
there's 230 people in there.
And we were like, 230?
What?
So I'm like,
so the part of it is,
I can't cancel this for some reason.
I'm successful in Cheltenham.
And you went on,
you're like, man, they're really nice.
I'm like, man,
I really don't know if I have it.
I overran. There's something. And you went on, you're like, man, they're really nice. I'm like, man, I really don't know if I have it. I overran.
Is there something about it, being on stage?
It's medicinal.
The adrenaline.
And in those moments, you forget everything.
Like, you don't miss home.
Even when I'm telling jokes about the people I've missed,
or whenever I'm talking about Gareth on stage,
I'm also enjoying that
because it's people laughing at the situation we have.
It removes homesickness sometimes
because you're out there doing the thing you love.
I promise you.
I'm never, ever annoyed by the time I'm spending on stage.
And I'm not even annoyed or upset
by meeting people afterwards.
Again, one of the fun things about being famous
is random people telling you they love you.
That's class. They're the two things on on tour they're meeting people after the show and the
show itself they're the things that give you energy everything else takes yeah everything
else takes takes it's the three hours before the gig those are just the it's the it's it's the
sound check where somebody that just doesn't get it which is rare like at this level new sound
checks are usually built up but sometimes every every now and again you'll run through the queues that just doesn't get it which is rare like at this level now sound checks
are usually built up
but sometimes
every now and again
you'll run through
the cues
and you'll load up
the cues
and you'll
gotta do the cues
and the cue doesn't come
and you'll explain it again
and then you'll do it again
and it doesn't come
and then when
you know going into the show
it's gonna get
they're gonna get it wrong
and every now and again
that happens
that saps the fucking
life out of me
that like
yeah
and also like
we're not a difficult
we've got two Q's
your walk on
and my walk on
but it's because
they're polar opposites
people can't
they're like
right so four guys
walk on
cut the music
Daniel will talk
play the music
for Daniel
play the music Daniel will talk continue to play the music. For Daniel, play the music.
Daniel will talk, continue to play the music.
Yeah, so that's it.
I always try and make it clear.
They're similar, but not the same.
The music and lights come down at the same time,
leaving the red spot on the stage.
And then on mine, leave the silence for Danny to talk over.
As soon as he says my name, play the track.
Boom.
On Danny's, bring the lights down, bring the music down, red spot on the stage. Don't wait for him to talk over. As soon as he says my name, play the track. Boom. On Danny's, bring the lights down,
bring the music down,
red spot on the stage.
Don't wait for him to talk.
Just play the music.
Two different cues.
Right?
Fuck me.
I'm going to say 20% of the time it goes wrong.
Aye,
20% of the time you've got someone like,
I don't,
I kind of,
I kind of pat my head and rub my tummy,
man,
it's fucking one or the other,
one or the other.
So yeah, it just made me feel so bad. Look, I love, tell me man it's fucking one or the other one or the other so yeah
it just made me
feel so bad
look I love
I love the fact
that we're allowed
to fucking complain
and bitch
and moan about
how tight our
diamond shoes are
on this podcast
but it brings my heart
this gives me energy
this
do we apologise
because we're bringing
you a podcast
because this
I'm sorry
if I was complaining
or me specifically
complaining about
what was going on
on the tour
ever made any of you feel like I
didn't want to be there
I do, I really really do
this is still my dream job
it's just occasionally sapping at other points
so I'm sorry
we'll try and bitch
it's funny because if you complain about
a whole operation
everybody in the operation
will take it on the chin because they're
part of that operation but you're like oh no like for the 80 percent of this operation that sucks
there's 20 that doesn't like they don't get caught in the crossfire but like you do you catch people
in the crossfire it's like i said when you when you fucking take down a whole nation because of
one person there's a couple of spaniards listen to the podcast going, oh, but we're nice. No, again, Spain, it doesn't...
America, correct, right?
England, that example's correct.
Spain, that example's not...
They're all bastards.
They're all bad.
We've never had a good time there.
Gloomhaven's class.
Gloomhaven is fucking brilliant.
Like, I always have been overwhelmed
by how much shit was on the table
when I got in
I woke up five hours out of
for those that don't know Gloomhaven
it's one of the biggest board games in the world
in the sense that I think it takes
200 hours minimum to complete
like there's 100
I love that you put your character back in the box
all your cards, your deck
it's D&D without the dungeon master
so it's it's D&D without the dungeon master so it's
it's
it's very difficult
but man
the rule book is
50 full pages long
and
it's
it's
hard to
and there's not
if the thing about D&D
that puts you off
it's like the improv
and the acting
and the performative
side of it
like the
dressing up as the character
and the role playing
if that puts you off and you're more into like the if you're just playing on the computer like the dressing up as the character and the role playing if that puts you off
and you're more
into like the
if you're just
playing on the
computer like the
top down
and this is your
board and you move
people around it
and you use
well here's the
annoying thing
like Gloomhaven
they've just come
out with the game
version of it
the PC game
oh lush
and it's just
way faster
like Skyrim
no not even
because it'll be
turn based
it'll be more
like XCOM 2
yeah so it's turn based top down and you can Skyrim no not even because it'll be turn based it'll be more like XCOM 2 yeah
so it's turn based top down
and you can play with your friends
so even when I
when I was really struggling
to learn the rules
I was like
we could all just like
get this
and I was like
no no no
like I really want this
oh you mean like
doing like the Gloomhaven
exactly as it is
like
on the computer
they've got that
oh like
like when you play chess
on the computer
it's still chess
they're not doing like
here's the like
amped up version of it.
No, no, but they do the monster movements for you.
They do the things, you just pick your cards.
And I can tell it's easier and funner,
but what I really want is you be calling a gara through the table,
doing it all the time.
It's class.
I nearly called them chips again, having chips.
Doritos,
mate.
I've been in,
I've been in America six weeks
and just because you get it wrong
a couple of times,
right?
Aye.
You just want fishy chips
a couple of times
and you end up with crisps
where you're like,
right,
I'm going to speak their language
a little bit while I'm here
just to be understood.
I said,
oh,
I've got that hummus from the writer like
Cara you got any chips I said I said chips in a room full of people
Scottish people and I was like what did you just say and I was like this is worse than Did you ever do that? Yeah I called her mam I called the maintenance technician
At Concordia Dad once
Just in case
It just came out
I was like
Mate fucking hell
You're a good bloke
Miss
I remember calling
Oh fuck Miss Miss Else I called her you're a good bloke Miss I remember calling oh fuck
Miss
Miss
Else
I called her
mum
thankfully it was only her
that heard
so it wasn't
but
still enough
that
I could
draw you
the room that I did
oh no way
it's one of those
seared
into my
fucking
head
I could tell you where everyone was sat I could tell you what direction we were facing it's one of those seared into my fucking neck like
I can tell you
where everyone was sat
I can tell you
what direction we're facing
I remember the weather
it's just
my fucking
seven year old brain
just went
snap
keep it in
that button that you
accidentally pressed
on the playstation
that nobody uses
for realsies
oh
why is that
a main button
just check 10 and put it off the control bar I'm never gonna use it that nobody uses for realsies. Oh, why is that a main button?
Just take 10 puns off the control part,
I'm never going to use it.
That's where Fantasia's a superpower.
Any of their moments I've had,
they're just behind a wall of darkness,
where they belong.
No, that's probably, probably serious to remember.
I went the opposite, man.
I got Pally with a teacher
and she was called
Mrs Creswell
and I called her
Cresy
oh I thought you were
going to say
you called her
by her first real name
and I'm like
that's as bad
as dead naming someone
you can't use
a teacher's
first name
you can on a Sunday
but when are you
ever with them
on a Sunday
no
fucking Mr Letham
Oh yeah
Do you know
I call him Stu
I didn't even know
That was his name
It was never mind
Teacher
I just shook his hand
Got his name
I am Mrs Noble
Ross Noble's mate
Comes to my shows
Now and again
I'd never call her Anne
So like
I've got some
Wayne Academy
Had many many
Really brilliant teachers
Who were very very very supportive of my career
early on and they came to
shows, I remember Miss McPherson my science teacher
came and the old
director came and everything and every time
even to this day
Stuart, I message him regularly
we message at least once a month
we talk about Critical Role, we talk about Dungeons and Dragons
we talk about Marvel stuff
before shows
I'll go for a pint with him
we'll have a laugh together
he's really good company
right
he's a good fucking laugh
consistently he's like
please stop calling me sir
and I'm like
I can't do that sir
I know
they couldn't get it
to stick in my school
Colin
the teachers
they tried
because they're all women
fair enough the only ones who listen we'll bat them with cloaks Teach us, sir. No. They try. Because they're all women.
Fair enough.
The only ones we're listening to are the bloke's.
Women are on base.
I remember Mr. Ruff
trying to get a response to sir
when we were answering the register
and all the kids were like,
nah, till you've been knighted.
Until you've slayed a fucking dragon.
Not happening.
It was just like a flat out refute
before none of the kids.
Mr. Rothbury.
Or teacher.
Mr. Rothbury.
Aye.
Aye, just for the call of his full name,
I'd rather chuck in four more syllables
than show you any respect.
He's such a fucking scumbag idiot.
I can't say.
Someone kind enough to put all their time and effort in
to teaching the next generation,
people who do deserve respect, teachers.
You know what?
I'm going to take the low salary.
I'm going to take the zero fucking budget. I'm going to go out and I'm going to take the low salary I'm going to take the zero fucking budget
I'm going to go out
and I'm going to try
and educate these
ungrateful
we didn't know that
we thought they were
authoritarians
we thought they were
the 5-0
fucking we thought
teachers were pigs man
yeah that's only because
the actual pigs
wouldn't bother you
because you weren't
doing anything
because they're scared
you're not being persecuted
enough
you're like well
there's got to be
bastards somewhere
I reckon it's that
cunt
spending his weekends
trying to improve
my intellect
when he marks grades
one of the funniest
memories from school
is getting bollocked
off a teacher
the whole school
the whole class
he was bollocking
the whole class
going fucking mad and he's like desk like this he's walking back the whole school the whole class he was bollocking the whole class going fucking mad
and he's
desk like this
he's walking back and forward
behind the desk
while he's fucking
laying the law
doing
he's actually got where
he's got the room
everyone's quiet
like
I've never seen
Mr. like this
like he's fucking
got
he's got
couldn't slip
not a pencil
mate I saw his feet
before he disappeared
lost it lost it
lost it all
there's only
there's only
there's only one way
to come back from that
right
it's to stay
it's to stay down
under the table
for like a minute
right
let the laughter die down
right
and then pretend to walk up
some stairs back up
and be like
right
but have something
under your arms
just quickly get out
of one of the drawers
get some stuff
food get you
right you've all got lines
have you ever been
bollocked with one of your mates
where there's like
both of you getting bollocked
and once you get like
took the class
and the two of you are getting bollocked
and you just catch your mate's eye
and you fucking go
like you go
like there's
there's knee way
you're keeping your face no I didn't you've got no control over your like you go like there's there's no way you're keeping your face
no I didn't
you've got no control
over your face
you're like
oh my goody two shoes
man I never
the only time
I ever got bollocked
I'd fucking
this was
to Mr Letham
man this was
I was in like
first or second year
and being my friend
we were just
man we were just being dicks
right we were just running
we were just being dicks
to each other
right
and I run
He's about to beat me up because I've hit him in the balls
And I sprint
Around the fucking corner
Right into Mr Letham
You've met Stuart
He's what six
Three
He's got a couple inches on me
I was a small
I was a small kid
This was pre-puberty slosh.
And man, I'd love to tell you,
I ran face first into his gut.
And I'm pretty sure that's the way
he'd like to remember it as well.
Because you know when you're running, right?
You're doing the thing.
Yeah, I'm sprinting.
My head's down.
I'm even, I run around this corner,
fucking right, my belt print
right in the middle
of my forehead
like a shite Harry Potter
WWF
he really supported
the animals
yeah but it was
alligator skin
next
next message
oh but he was so he was like Mr. Leather next next message is em
oh man
he was so
he was
like
and
Mr Lethem was the one
man you
you didn't piss him off man
he was like the scary one
he was the one
whenever teachers lost the room
they were like
I'll go get Mr Lethem
you go
everyone shut the fuck up
alright
fair enough
which is so weird now
because now that he's
a human
well
to be fair
it was now once you get into like
because after higher years you start yeah once there's the year when you choose to stay on at
school there's you kind of level up a little bit and the teachers go all right yous are nice and
we're going to start treating you a bit more like we don't have to be as authoritative it's not about
you know carrot and stick sort of thing.
We still will if we have to,
but, you know, I'm going to teach you with a bit more,
a modicum more of respect.
So he was one of those ones,
and obviously now that we're friends and stuff,
but, man, he was a fucking,
man, he scared the fucking shit out of me as good.
I don't...
There was one teacher.
I didn't mind the teacher that, like, really had that way.
No, the fear's important.
We had one teacher, and I'll not name this one.
Sorry, go on.
There was one teacher,
and I might have told this on this podcast before,
I apologise, but that's what this podcast is.
Quake 3, I managed to fit on a fucking,
my dad got it onto a pen drive, right,
because he's a great man.
In our techie class, I installed it on all of the great man in our techie class i installed on all of the computers
so our techie teacher he tried to be friendly he tried to be one of the cool teachers and and man
that's not how you become a cool teacher aftershave i never trusted those guys like
the teachers were aftershave was he trying to pull
he smelled good getting compliments
off the lasses
and that
fuck off
get out of here
at the start
he was like
you're allowed to play
once you've done your work
you can all play
on the computers together
and then one day
some kid just started
playing Quake
and we're like
well he's not weighed
so we all started playing it
and he comes back
into the class
and he's not that bothered
because we've all
finished work
but as the weeks go on
it just becomes Quake class
and we just go
and we play Quake
all the time
and at one point
he's behind the desk
he can tell
he knows he's lost it all
he's like
if you don't stop
playing Quake
I'll go get the headmistress
and we were like
man
if you do that
you're fired
there's no way
we're the ones
like
we're gonna get in trouble
absolutely
but nowhere
near as much trouble
she's gonna walk in and be like how the fucking shit We're going to get in trouble, absolutely, but nowhere near as much trouble.
She's going to walk in and be like,
how the fucking shit did it ever get to this?
You're all obviously detention, but you are done.
You're out of here, mate.
What else are they going to get on the computers?
Probably the one teacher that struck fear out of people
was Mrs Noble
who I mentioned before
because she was
the head of year
short woman
but like
you didn't fuck with her
she was straight with you
and I was never
I was never mean to her
I was never like
bad with her
because
with her being the head of year
she's who you've got to
put on detention with
and I always wanted
to be out of detention
so I'm not going to be naughty in detention I was always wanted to be out of detention so I'm not
going to be
naughty in
detention
I was always
sound so like
even though she
was the kind
of like fear
figure in the
school she was
the person who
I was the
kindest to
out of all the
teachers which
is why we get
along still
after I left
because I never
give her any
shit
did you call her
miss
Mrs Noble
Mrs Noble
what do you say for
Do you have like a say equivalent
Do you call the teacher as madam
Miss
Miss
Even missus
Even the married ones
Yeah
Yeah
Just all miss
What if they weren't married
If you ever full named them
Do you ever
Do you ever fancy a teacher
Oh yeah
Ah those
Miss
Miss Kelly
And she was my
I mean everyone fancied her
Because like
What
Because she
She was hot
But she was like
That must be horrible
Being a hot teacher
In a school that's got
Like young
Aye
Like
Like
Bordering pubescent children
You know
Aye
You're starting
To become sentient to women
Like That would be horrible Like Fuck man That's another shitty thing to children you know like you're starting to become sentient to women like
that would be
horrible
like
fuck man
that's another
shitty thing
that women
have to go on
through
I don't have
to burn
with
hey
hey
hey
fucking
mystery
just go
over
by the
girls
it's got
boys are
gross
though
aye
aye
I remember
Miss Kelly
she was nice
she was a
biology teacher
but I didn't
take biology
but she did her we just had her for reggie, registration.
So you go in at like 10 to nine,
and she goes through the names,
and then at nine you fuck off to your actual classes and stuff.
So she was just silent.
It was just like, she was dead nice.
I always crack my knuckles in my neck,
and you know I do that, right?
It was the only time I've ever had it with a teacher.
She was like, you'll give yourself arthritis if you do that. And the only time I've ever had it with a teacher she was like
you'll give yourself
arthritis if you do that
and I was like
no you won't
she's like
well
I'm like
no you won't
there's no
like what that is
that's not bones cracking together
that's just air
popping through the joints
that's what that noise is
it's got nothing to do
with arthritis
I think I bought that
fear mongering
I always do
I feel like that's going to
cause lasting damage
if you keep doing it.
No.
I always thought like it was,
even if you didn't get arthritis
it would be like abrasive
like at some point.
Oh, I mean,
maybe that's true
but I was like,
man,
I could be wrong.
She was a biology teacher
but I remember the time
I was like,
I was like,
you're a biology teacher,
you should know
that this is the case
but yeah,
no, she was.
Is it like one of those things
like if you swallow chewing gum
it'll stick to your ribs
my gran used to
when I used to bite my nails
she was like
if you bite your nails
you know they don't
they'll just stay in your stomach
and then you just have a big pile of nails
and I was like
oh I'll spit them out then
she didn't stop you biting your nails
no
no not at all
so you didn't get into trouble much at school
I did
I got like the first ever detention in East Weems Primary School.
I've done that on the...
Such a lame school.
Aye, aye.
Because...
I wasn't even at school when it fucking happened.
But my group of friends bullied some other kid.
And because I was the fucking ringleader,
the most bullied kid in the group,
when I came back to school, they're like, you've got detention. I'm like, I wasn't even here. I was the fucking ringleader, like the most popular kid in the group, when I came back to school, they're like,
you've got detention.
I'm like, I wasn't even here.
I was a bully though.
Well, I wasn't like a...
So you would have done it, but you weren't there.
You were like, you got us.
But it wasn't...
I wasn't at that particular crime,
but I've committed crimes.
One of the things I got done for was like,
you know when you do pendulums in physics,
they would do that where you get like a bit of string And you measure the weight and the length of the string
And how far it swings and click date
I've fucking just got one of them right
And I look up at the ceiling
And I put it up the ceiling and it just disappears
The polystyrene
The low hanging suspended ceiling
I get me fucking me a Terry's attention
I'm like you've seen this man
And he has it going boom Next thing you know it's fucking Ganser in the class And everyone's popping up at the ceiling and I get my fucking mate Terry's attention I'm like you haven't seen this mate boom and he has a gun boom
like that
next thing you know
it's fucking Gans
we're in the class
and everyone's popping
in the ceiling
the physics teacher
comes back in
and went
what's everyone doing
where's Ali
I'm playing in the house
we're like
different look up
different look up
and he fucking
spots the ceiling
and there's just
fucking 30 plus girls in the ceiling and there's just fucking 30 plus
girls in the ceiling
fucking more than
one per kid
it was one of them
where like
ah the fingers
pointed back at me
where they're just
like that
come on there
in primary school
it was
we must have been
like six or seven
at this point
like kids
kids
like just
like barely human beings
one
we always used to piss together
like alright boys
have to go to the toilet
and they didn't
we just let you go in there
because it's going to be a clusterfuck
and it's boys
we just piss against the wall
they've got that there
there was always one kid
who had to pull their treasures
all the way down
and that was the kid that got bullied
aye
aye
and fair enough
fuck man
we had
but the thing we used to do,
and the thing that used to fuck the teachers off,
and the reason we had to be escorted into the bathrooms,
was because one day one kid came at the bathroom, right,
and just like with a bit of tissue paper,
got it wet,
and just fucking yeeted at it.
Oh, yeah.
Sticks.
And we were like,
oh my God,
this is,
how's this not taught in school how have i learned this from a fucking
pupil that's so funny that like every school catches on to that i yeah everybody discovers
that of their own bad man i enjoyed it so much right and we were doing at school and obviously
teacher comes in we all get fucking bollocks because that's like it's raining because it's dripping down I go home home in my house
in my downstairs bathroom
you start doing the news
my mum goes
man
it's me and Josie
it's me and Josie
my mum comes in
and she's like
she's not going to blame Josie
I know this now
but I don't know
what are you trying to
point Josie with
to say nothing to her
but it's like
man don't fart in the
elevator with one person
like the reason you can
do that in school
right is you're gonna
get yelled at
but you're gonna get
yelled at as a group
that's why you go
I remember while being
rightfully yelled at
by my mum
you go downstairs
your dad's getting
bollocked
I know it's you Mark
it's just fun
I just
it's a satisfying
noise like
come on.
Aye, that was,
the thing,
also getting the,
taking the ink out your pen and chewing on paper
and just,
you know,
do that,
make a little blow go
and just,
man,
we used to do the horrific one,
right?
If you got a bit of paper,
right,
and you folded it like
four or five times
just so it was long and thin,
right?
And then you folded this
three times over
and you put that
in an elastic band
man that could
if you hit somebody
with the eye
not necessarily
take their eye out
but ruin the eye
they're gonna have
a black eye
they're gonna
you can also do it
with a
if you just
undo most of a
paper clip
except for one curl
aye
fucking deadly
fuck aye
and you
paint your hand fully with PVA glue
and peel it off.
Yes!
Man, isn't it fucking class?
This is to attack pre-internet here.
This is like viral grapevine shit.
Man, I don't think it's grapevine.
I just think that's when you're at your most monkey discovery stage.
Do you ever keep rubbing your hands together
until your skin starts rolling off
and it's always
a bit manky as well
because you're a kid
and you've been
fucking playing
football inside
and you've just got
loads of just rolled
up bits of dry skin
on your hand
you're trying it
now
straight in
I thought it was
longer than that
my hands are
fucking
look at that
peachy
you can wash
your hands
you can sing
happy birthday
twice
I think it's
all a myth
that thing where you know that thing I think it's all a myth oh that thing
where you know
that thing
I was thinking of
before
you know
when you
blow and you get
people on the back
or whatever right
I was queuing
for a nightclub once
and I sneezed
and I just
I saw the lad
in front of us
in the queue
just the phlegm
I'll do
on his back
where I sneezed
on him right
and I was like
oh no
he might start on us
I don't want to get
bored from the nightclub
before I'm in
and I just thought
I'd laugh about it
when we made a trade
I fucking saw him
as we left
and he still had
greaser
I'll do his
I'll do his back
no
he couldn't have
had a full night
with Graham
had a full night
with Graham
doing his back
Graham
Graham
greener greaser hawkle oh no hawkle not kind of Graham had a full night out with Graham doing his back Graham? Graham? Greener?
Greaser?

that you haven't had the word
Graham in your life

I'd do
with the word Graham.

The level out in about an hour.
I actually think
we do more towards the other end.
At least when we've been
Drinking we do
Yep
Aye so you'll get
You get your Monday episode
For this one
Which comes out Wednesday
Publicly
In the Thursday episode
And
You can get like
Different tiers
You know what
We still need to do a draw
We need to do a draw
For November and December
For everybody
That's a five pound patron
Gets entered in the draw
Anybody that's a ten pound patron
Gets entered in twice
Last week was Lachlan Last month That we did one was Lachlan won a same copy of your
book and my book.
We can do that again because I've got a bunch of free copies.
So like, we'll draw a number of you because we didn't do one in November because we're
just, we weren't in the country to be sending shit to people.
But we'll do two draws on the Thursday episode because it's patrons only, so you might as
well watch it on there.
So we'll get you maybe some merch, some signed books, we'll fucking two draws on the Thursday episode because it's patrons only, so you might as well watch it on there. So we'll get you maybe some merch,
some signed books,
we'll fucking haul some goodies in.
And any £10 patron gets added on the credits
on all of the YouTube videos
because that's where the money's going
to produce these videos.
Thank you, Brett,
for accepting the job of putting us on the screen.
And also you get two entries into the draw and each of the
tiers will have different perks for when we do live shows whether it's a free stream or free
tickets and yeah thanks for watching and thanks for your support go fuck yourselves bye
