Good evening, good morning, good afternoon, whatever it is.
Welcome to another episode of Sloss and Humphreys On The Road,
where we're very much not on the road.
We're just in my office space in my back garden,
talking through our arses about Kai's new house move,
about why I hate pensioners,
and of course Kai and his incredible scam
of trying to get a £70 PlayStation 5,
which was in no way a scam,
and nobody could have possibly known it was a scam.
But tune in to find out more 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?
Well, I bet it's been quiet around this place
It has been nice
Vibeless
Vibeless?
Aye, there's no vibe
Oh, right, okay
Just that constant feeling like
Is something going to happen?
Is someone going to turn up?
Like, you know that time when we were in Amsterdam
and we were just all waiting for Barry?
Did we take
mushrooms or something? Or were we just high?
When was this? The time when
there was quite a few
coming to Amsterdam. It was like
you'd just been through a breakup.
Oh, yes, it was after that one.
So it was you, me, Natalie.
No, the one, Bad Signal was in the sky.
Oh, no, that was the one after the breakup.
Yeah, that was the one.
Not that one then.
Right, okay.
God, it's good we've had that many Absterdams.
That, aye.
Right.
God it's good we've had that many
Amsterdam's
that I
right
but
the one where
every
all the
gold gang turned up
and it got
it got
fucking
it was brutal
yeah I don't remember it
so
we're just
we're stoned
we're in this
dingy apartment
and we couldn't really
get on out
because we're waiting
for Barry
aye
and there was just
that limbo
of waiting for Barry
to turn up
but we're dead stoned aye let's just were waiting for Barry. Aye. And there was just that limbo of waiting for Barry to turn up. But we're dead stoned.
Aye.
I was just like,
it's Barry here.
Where's Barry?
I don't remember.
I don't remember that.
No.
I think it was mostly Cullen.
Cullen was like fixated on it.
Aye.
Anyway.
Well, I mean,
it's not a party until Barry turns up.
It's true.
It's true.
So that's what I'm getting at.
It's like,
is your whole week...
Right.
So what you're saying is,
well,
Barry was to us
in Amsterdam
you are
to this house
this house
right okay
aye
but the reason we haven't
had your vibe
is because
I've got my own place
I'm
officially a homo
you're a homo
nah
yep
nah
a big ol
nah
you're a big ol homo
nah
yeah
nah
yeah you are
you and Ali
you're a pair old homo. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you are. You and Ali, you're a pair of homos.
Nice.
Yeah.
This is so childish.
I'm saying, but it's great.
Fuck it.
Who gives a shit?
It's like, for me,
when I won the M8,
I put my cruise control on 69 all the time.
I'm on my own.
It's for no one else but me.
And this is also just proof for me
and Ali that even when you're by yourself
you still drive under the fucking speed limit.
Oh, just me
when I'm on the motorway
by myself, 2 in the morning
still under the speed limit.
Gotta be careful.
May I get another 50mm stretch
when you get into the city
because I'm winding in that
so I'm terrorising the corners at 69
me and your wife
have sent so many photos back and forth
between us of just being passengers
in your car
of screenshots of it being pitch black at night
of fine time to go over the speed limit
and just you happily listening to whatever audio that you've decided screenshots of it being pitch black at night, I find time to go over the speed limit.
And just you happily listening to whatever audio that you've decided to listen to
as you selflessly drive 15 miles under the speed limit.
Well, we're not in a rush to get home
because I'm in a good bit of my book.
Hope there's plenty of Twitter to catch up on
because we're going slow until we get there.
I'm just busting for a piss.
Cue on.
It's fair enough, Luke.
You've been in a lot of car crashes
and if you're driving in a crash,
you shouldn't be...
I've been in one car crash.
You've been in plenty of car crashes
and if you want to drive safely...
Just constantly crashing your car.
I've been in one nasty one.
But that rain is me of the time when
did I tell you about when the last fell over
on the treadmill? No
but always funny
I went to the sports centre right
there's gym accidents that are funny
and gym accidents that aren't funny
gym accidents that are funny
somebody falling over on a treadmill
and the treadmill sending them off the end.
Workplace
accidents that aren't
good, like if you're lifting weights
and they're too much and they come down and then you've
just accidentally strangled yourself.
As 45 kilograms just presses
itself down on your throat.
Spot it!
I had a terrible one on the way to be made.
You know what, I feel like I might be
repeating stories
but I couldn't give a fuck
right
but I'm pushing the weights
in the gym right
this is back when I was
like 22 or something right
we made Craig was spotting us
and then a pretty girl
whacked in
and he whacked off
and left us right
to kind of chat with her
I think he already knew her
but he was going to put
some groundwork down
and I was left on my own right
so on each side of the barbell
I had a 15, a 10 and a 5 right on each end and I'm going to put some groundwork down and I was left on my own, right? So on each side of the barbell, I had a 15, a 10 and a 5, right?
On each end.
And I'm going to date and I'm struggling, right?
We haven't got the collars on
because I'm being spotted and all that, right?
And we're changing the weights all the time.
We didn't put the collars on them, right?
And a guy's doing one side,
the 5 drops off, right?
So that gets lighter.
So I push it up
and the 5 drops off to that side
and that gets lighter
and I overcompensate.
The 10 comes off one side, literally one after the other. The 5, the 5, the 10 the other side and that gets late and I overcompensate the 10 comes off and say literally
one after the other
the 5, the 5, the 10
the 10, the 15, the 15
until I'm left with
just the fucking bar
and I just push the bar
up like that
fucking victorious
I did it
what was that mate
your best 70
was that 70
the bar's dead
me mate fucking devastated
because he's going
aye he's with me
alright
as you can see
I help out those in need
so
it wasn't me
at the receiving end
of this accident in the gym
I was
I heard over the tannoy
A1 at the gym
that means there's been
a fucking emergency
it could be a heart attack
it could be fucking anything
right broken leg
they just need
urgent assistance
I get to the gym
and
this poor lass
was down between
the treadmills she was like a bit heavy you know but like she's in the gym and this poor lass was down between the treadmills
she was like
a bit heavy
you know
but like
she's in the gym
because she wants
to lose weight
and that
she's fucking
like
I don't even know
how she got in
I don't even know
how she got between
the treadmills
she must have just
like fucking
been like
rubbed herself
up in butter
before she fell
you couldn't fit
a fucking credit card
between her
and either side
of the fucking treadmill
so she just
sandwiched herself
between two of them
so I'm assuming
they're all lined up
beside each other
aye
right
and just somehow
managed to follow
doing it between them
right
and she's not being
like the treadmills
are still going
they're not like
nah the
customers like
fucking stop the treadmill
and hit the alarm
right
so the alarm
goes off
reception
see the alarm
they call the A1
and I got in
and I
and I ask her
if she's alright
and if she can feel any pain
and is she okay
and she's like
she's crying right
but she's like
I'm okay
I'm just really embarrassed
like I think I can get up
but I'm just
I'm just really embarrassed
but just feeling
and I was like
right well
if anybody's looking at you
it's not because they're laughing
it's because they're concerned
right
and they'll stop looking
as soon as they realise
you are right
so if you can get up
and show that you're okay
then people are probably just going to get back to their thing and I'm just like I're alright so if you can get up and show that you're okay then people are probably
just going to get back
to their thing
and I'm tired
I'm tired
and she gets up
and she's okay
and we get her on a seat
and everything
and then fucking
Hurstie runs in
he's a big lad
he's settled Hurstie
he just whacks in
he's fucking sweating buckets
because he's heading
around 100 metres
I'm already done with it
right
and then
what's happened
and I went
she's alright
she had a bit of a fall
on the treadmill
right
and Hurstie
trying to make her feel better
went
I fall off the treadmill
all the time
after the incident
when we're back in the staff room
I was like
all the time do you
not a day gas
well you know
like whoop
there goes me
I'm doing the side
of the fucking treadmill again.
Running with a fucking
hard hat on.
Fucking impassive.
So,
what got onto that?
Who cares?
So,
I've moved,
I've moved,
who cares?
I always like to think
we're like,
we start going off somewhere
and we're going off on tangents
but we always find our way back
why
it was that attitude Daniel
I'm very much of the
look this is
this is the content I provide
right
you've chosen to listen to it right
if you want somebody
that always gets back to the point
you go listen to Ross Noble's podcast
have him tie that up
watch Billy Connolly
aye
go watch one of the masses right
if you want to listen to people
get halfway through stories
and then forget
why they were telling them
this is the podcast for you
yes
that's been my main
step that I've learned
from Sober Jan
is
one that really sort of
helped me
the one that you didn't spend
much of sober
yeah that one
aye
well I did
I did most of it
without booze
except for the Graham Norton where obviously I was drinking there and then me and Cara drank last night because I was like fuck it without booze except for the
Graham Norton
where obviously
I was drinking there
and then me and Cara
had a drink last night
because I was like
fuck it
it's the end of January
I don't care
like sober January
is only for us
it's not for anyone else
in the world
we do it for us
and if we want to
have a drink tonight
it's the end of the month
we're allowed to
it's fucking lockdown
you celebrate when you can
see the ribbon
not when you're past it
aye aye yeah
and I don't care
if somebody overtakes me
oh you came the day
before you're like
I was doing it for me
I'm not doing it for you
random stranger
admonishing me
for having a fucking bevy
and you give up on the weed
because you felt like
there was no point
in that
your leg being high
aye and also
yeah there's just a point
in the
like my problem
that I had with weed
last year
was the fact
that it was just
all day every day
and I was like
this just isn't healthy
and I can feel myself not being motivated
and stuff whereas now I'm like
if you wake up whenever as long as you
fucking make breakfast tidy the house answer
your emails go on and
stream a bit or just do something
like until 4.20
any time after that
purposefully 4.20
100% yeah
that's what
I'm talking about
me hitting 69
on the freeway
I was hit
which on that note
by the way
if I was a footballer
on the 69th minute
I would just shoot
wherever I was
on the pitch
just say a name
and flash it up
with 69 on the screen
Worldie
well no no no
for it to cut
no see that's the thing
you've got to shoot
in the 68th minute
because then it's
a 69th minute goal
if you actually score
when it's 16.902
it's going to come up
in 70
and I know this
because of FIFA
because it comes up
one if you do it in
yeah in the same way
that like
we're in the 20
even though it's
the first minute
yeah even though
it's 2020
we're still in the
21st century
because everything
after it is in
the 21st century
by 2101 we'll be out of the 21st century and into the 21st century because everything after it is in the 21st century.
By 2101,
we'll be out of the 21st century and into the 22nd century
because 2101
is the start of the...
Yes.
I'm not having that one.
I agree with the game one.
But
the year zero
is still in the first century.
Zero to 100?
No, no, no.
The year 10
would be in the first century 0 to 100 no no no the year 10 would be in the first century
the second century
trust me
the way I
we are in the 21st century now
that's what we are in
I have been for a year
no no no
oh no
this is going to be one of them
you've fucked it already
it's 20
20
2-0
2-0
it's 2021 now
ah
but if it was 2120
that would be
the 22nd
century
we are in the
21st century
I was doing
decades on it
you were doing
decades
I was doing
decades
right but the
year 2000
was the start
of the 21st century
but I thought
you were trying
to get us
at like 2001
is
the 21st. The 21st
century, yes.
21st century.
So it's the
19th century.
The year 2000
is the 19th
century still
until that
year is over.
The 19th
century, yes.
No, I think
we're right.
No, no, the
20th century,
sorry.
1901 to
1999 was
the 20th
century.
As soon as
it hit 2000.
It's the
21st century, yes.
Okay, good, good.
Because I thought you were saying that doesn't count until that year's over.
Until that 2000th year's over.
No.
It's not the end of the century.
No, no, the whole.
Right, whereas with the minutes.
That's why millennium was a big thing.
The first minute.
2000 millennium was a big thing because that was the end of that century.
Hey, it's 2000.
Yeah, we're on the same page
I'm not disputing that
I'm not disputing that
but
to score in the
100th minute
right
you're scoring in the
101st minute
technically
because you're
5 seconds in
to the 101st minute
so if you want to
if you score a goal
and you want it to be
the 69th minute
you have to score it
but at
68 something
yeah because yeah aha yes of course glad we got there and you want it to be the 69th minute, you have to score it at 68-something.
Yeah, because... Aha.
Yes, of course.
Glad we got there.
But that is confusing.
Very confusing.
For instance, if you score in the 99th minute,
you've actually scored in the 100th minute.
Yep.
Aye.
But the 100th minute isn't over yet.
No, it's not over.
So it's still within the first 100 minutes.
Yes, but it's...
But you've scored's the hundredth
but you've scored
on the hundredth minute
yeah
which just
even though it's
within a hundred minutes
it just doesn't have
the same
feels like one of those
things that Americans
would get confused by
and just for the sake
of this thought process
we've went an extra time
I am aware
it's a 90 minute game
right
so
fuck so 69th minute I'm going to trace this back I am aware it's a 90 minute game alright so fuck
so
69th minute
I'm going to trace this back
go on
420 you get high
and then after that
like
are you high now
no no
because it's not before
yeah that's what I was going to ask
I was going to ask
how much you lie to yourself
no
you're not like secret eaters
no no
at weekends it goes
no there's some there's some days as well
where I just go,
right, today's the day
where I want to be high.
Something's gone wrong
all over my head.
It's just a bit fucking iffy.
I'll just go with it.
But what I've really learned this year,
I don't know if it came from
Sober January,
but I do remember spending
most of last year
just going,
oh, you know,
you could be doing more of that.
Do you know that fucking voice
in your head?
You could be doing this,
you could be doing that, you could be doing all this and, you know, voice in your head you could be doing this you could be doing that
you could be doing all this
and you know
building it up
so by January
I'm going to do all these things
and I didn't
I did some of them
but not all of them
but I've learned to just be like
you know what
just be fucking happy
with whatever
don't be harsh on yourself
there's no right or wrong
way to live
we're still in the middle
of this fucking
pandemic
so
there's only certain things
that I can do
the number one
because I think for so much of my life I've been so
career orientated and driven with
a fucking goal there, I was like okay
well now that that goal's gone
I'm going to have another goal to aim towards
but I could never find something that I wanted to do
that inspired me as much as stand up does
where it's now I've just learned to be like oh there's no goal
oh okay that's fine
then I just have to
look at it like this, you've completed San Andreas you can just free roam around the map where it's now I've just learned to be like, oh, there's no goal. Oh, okay, that's fine. Then I just have to...
Look at it like this.
You've completed San Andreas.
You can just free roam around the map.
Aye, yes, aye.
I can go around and I'm not going to kill members of the public, right?
Of course, I'll, you know, I'll not be the fucking...
I will be looking for a jetpack.
Yeah, of course, aye.
Not to jump off of anything.
Well, in fact, to jump off something so that I don't die.
But instead of just going
I could be doing
all this stuff
and I'm not
which I then just use
as a fucking flag
and twit myself with
just going
what did you do today
cleaned the house
made three meals
ate them all
meditated
read a bit of a book
then what else did you do
doesn't matter what else I did
those are a bunch of
good things I did
right
so if I was high
for the fucking rest of it
so be it
that's been my goal
for the year right
which is
because I mean
I'm repeating myself
but I'm drilling home
the goals right
is read a chapter
of my book
meditate
do 50 press ups
every day
such a fucking
realistic goal
you can do that
within half an hour
getting out of bed
really
so I've managed
to stick to that
and then I'm adding
in as of today
to floss my teeth
every day instead of just occasionally fl today to floss my teeth every day
instead of just occasionally flossing my teeth.
Do that every day and 10 pull-ups.
And I think what I'm going to do
is just add good things to this routine
as the months go by
and just try and make them just standards for life.
So they're not just like,
oh, this is me, New Year's resolution,
and then it rumbles.
I'm just going to try and have better standards
for what I need to achieve in a day. day see what i've done is just lowered my standards
across the board just going what just as long as i don't slap cara across the mouth great day
look after your hygiene don't let that slip all right brushing teeth like the the flossing teeth
i do a lot do I floss my teeth
every fucking day now
but only because
I've been to the dentist
so many times
and just
every
you again
aye
oh prick
my dentist is great
this girl went to
high school
with one of her
very very good friends
and so
but every time
it's more annoying
because I know her
like if it was a dentist
so she could be brutal with it well because if it was a dentist... So she could be brutal with it?
Well, because if it was a dentist I was paying, right?
If I was going to a dentist who I was paying and they were like, your teeth are fucked.
I'm like, oh, boo, more work for you, shut up.
The same way that I got annoyed whenever fucking teachers would be like, you come to school the next day.
Tell you what, yesterday, right, last night, the cleaners had a word with us because you'd left.
Such a mess in this place.
And you're like, oh, the cleaners complaining about how dirty a place was. left such a mess in this place and you're like oh the cleaners complained
about how dirty a place was
I guess you picked the wrong day
to be the fucking cleaner then
with a dentist
I'm like
you've got bad teeth
and you go
uh huh
so shut up and do your job
I brought you shit teeth
go away and fix that problem
and lose the goddamn attitude
go away and fix it
in the other room
yeah
take them with you
rip them out
go clean them
and come and put them in
I'm not sure I did it
wait it's because
it's a fucking mate
because you know
she does most of it
as a favour
did she do you a favour
you get maids rates
on your dentistry
aye
I feel guilty then
because I go in
and I go
she goes
you haven't flossed
for six months
I'm like oh no I haven't
she goes alright
well I guess I'll fix those again
I'm like alright
now I'm being an arsehole
like
yeah
I put myself
in my own muggle corner
by the way
alright
Natalie's my
I cut my hair
well
I buckled
she like
she off had a couple of times
on the most recent one
I'm feeling brave
feeling adventurous
she took a couple of chunks
out of it
and I was like
yeah you know what
it's alright
you ever seen Carlos bald
just now
he's what bald
he's always been bald
no but he's bald
like he's shaved it
oh right
he's trimmed it down
accidentally
but was there not still
hair there at all
was that a complete bald head
that I've just seen
he was wearing a hat
oh he was wearing a hat
I was very unobservant
aye
well no that's why
he was wearing the hat
so he didn't notice
I don't think
look we'll put it
in Muggle Corner obviously because I mean we'll put it in Muggle Corner
obviously
because I mean
it's definitely
it's Muggle Corner
if you get somebody
to cut your hair
but it's
it's with such
limitations
I just think
I respect
people's trades
that's why
like you know
I've just painted
a room in me
in my house
the living room
we'll get my teeth
into that
because we had to get
a couple of the rooms
plastered
so we'll kind of paint them until the plaster's dry but get my teeth into that because we had to get a couple of the rooms plastered so we kind of
paint them
until the plaster's dry
but like
I'm there
I'm like
should we not
get a painter
and decorate
we've just had to
spend a lot of money
on stamp duty
and shit right
so we've got to
cut corners
right
and I was
I was there
I said
should we not
get a painter
and she's like
nah everybody
just does their own
painting and that
and I'm like
aye bud
have a bit of
respect for the
people in the trade
aye
they're like our
paint hands
like as a stand up
if somebody's like
oh shall we get a
comedian
ah fuck anyone
can just get Jimmy
from the Counts
today and he's
fully in the office
you'd be like
are you fucking
kidding me
aye
you think this is
easy
I'm with you
I'm a big fan of
and this is an
outdated term
but you know
what I mean
about it
get a man in
get a man in
get a man in
anything in my house breaks
right
can I say
I guess we can
get a man in
there's a man who's trained
to not
to not only
fix the thing
but also work out
what the problem is
all I have to do
is point at
said broken thing
and be like
that doesn't work
like it used to do more
and it's his job
to then
you know
work out how it's done
and go get his mates
aye
so it's that
it's that
and I guess
Natalie I was like
neither of us know
how to paint
right
just like
oh it's easy
everybody does it
right
and then
I start painting
and realise
that she's just
in the other room
like rearranging boxes
and all that
and I'm like
oh no
she's just got me
doing it
solo
which
she dived in
I was doing it now
my dad's painted rooms
before so
we'll have had a
we'll have had a bit of
guidance
it hasn't just been like
oh this is my first figure
this is the only one I run
that can help
but then Natalie
started watching over us
going oh the
because you know
when you're cutting in
you do the
we'll put the tape down
right
the masking tape
the masking tape
and then you
you paint the edges and then you get the roller and you do the middle right people are listening to this like every
listener has probably painted 100 walls average here just 37 i've managed to just get a man in so
far right whether that's a relative so i'm diving in that he's like um why don't you she's such a
good backseat painter why don't you take it upwards when you're cutting in instead of side to side
and then it's going to
be going in the same
direction as the
paint that you put on
and I'm like
because if you're going
upwards
you're painting
quite a long line
before it starts
fading the paint
but if you're doing
side to side
you're getting quite a lot
of your paint
it's spreading
she's like
oh you should do it
that way
but just do it
near the edge
and I'm like
yeah but that's
still there
she was just
tackling it
I was like
yeah you dig it then
and she'd done a boot on then and she'd done a boot
on half the podcast
she'd done a boot that much
before she had the bag
and I whacked away
I whacked away
like proper smoking
I'll like Anne Rafe
she's kind of
she thinks she's good at doing it
she doesn't need to teach me
how to do it
she can just do it herself
and then I come back in
and there's only a little bit done
and she'd moved on
I'm casting shade on her but she has been classed and there's only a little bit done she'd moved on.
I'm casting shade on her but she has been classed
with a paint and that.
Aye.
Also, you've moved into...
Will this be the first time
you've lived together
where it's just the paint of you?
Well, lockdown forced that
because we lived with Kat.
Oh, yeah.
In London.
But when we're locked down
she locked down her boyfriends.
Boyfriends? Huh? Boyfriends. Oh, her boyfriends. But she, when we're locked down, she locked down her boyfriends. Boyfriends?
Huh?
Boyfriends.
Oh, her boyfriends.
I have multiple.
Oh, I just saw.
She's locked down
with like a bunch of dudes.
She had the best time ever.
Sounds like it.
Like she's been like
trying to like sabotage
the vaccine centre.
This is the best life
I've ever lived.
This can't end.
Yeah.
I'm glad it's a pandemic
because I plan to get all of this dick inside of just can't end. Yeah, I'm glad it's a pandemic because I plan to get
all of this dick
inside of my body.
So,
so our cat's been
getting laid and that,
and I,
so we,
we locked you in together
for that most part.
But I,
this has been
fucking class
moving into a house.
Like,
like,
even when we lived
in London,
I had like
living room,
kitchen, and then bedroom and a bathroom. The other bedroom wasn't ours, even when we lived in London I had like living room, kitchen
and then bedroom and a bathroom
the other bedroom wasn't ours, that was Kat's
even when she moved out, it had her bed in
so all we had was
living room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom
and now
we're just using that as a living quarters
we've got a living room, kitchen, bathroom
and a bedroom while we're decorating
the rest of the house. So we're living
with like a fraction of our house
to the same standard as what we lived in London
when it was our whole property
and we're going to have another
three bedrooms
living room and another bathroom by the time
all the decorating's done and a car
and it's cheaper than living in London.
Fucking Scotland's amazing.
It's always always I mean obviously
you've preached
to the fucking choir
this is exactly
why I'll never
leave Scotland
but
drinking out the tap
I think we've covered this
but
Scottish tap water
it's just better
also like
I know I had
Victoria Park
and I did
I did like
have Victoria Park there
but it was very much
a park in the middle
of a city whereas I just went a Victoria Park there, but it was very much a park in the middle of a city.
Whereas I just walk a few yards from me,
Hootson, I'm in the countryside.
Aye, there's loads of...
That's the good thing about Scotland.
Yeah, I'm still in the city.
There's heaps of fuck all.
Aye.
There's so much...
There's countryside in the city.
Aye.
You can just fucking go for a don.
You're like, oh, that's a badger.
It's a body of a badger because it's been hit by a car.
But it's nice to know that they all haven't moved out yet.
They're still
around
the roadkill up
here is very
very nice
it's very
Disney like
I mean don't
get me wrong
they are all
dead but it's
just a wider
range of animals
than we'd see
in London
oh my god
a dead deer
this is so
exciting
all these dead
animals
just make me
want to cry
with happiness
so another thing I've noticed
because I've been up in Scotland
for a couple of months now
and I have lived here before
but one thing I've noticed
in contrast
since I've been a bit more
out and about
because even though
it's lockdown
I've been using essential services
like Homebase
the staff are fucking nice
are they?
like the customer service
on people that just work in shops
and even just the groceries
at Asda
do you think that's
that's definitely
like people are friendly
aye
and like people couldn't
give a fuck about
is there any service
for the smile in London?
of course there isn't
because you never
it would take so long
to work out
who your locals are
because you see
like 50,000 people
a fucking day
yeah
and 49,000 of them
are just in the area
for that time picking up.
Aye,
there was a bloke,
there was a bloke
who lived at my flats,
right,
and,
it's this guy,
he had this shit dog,
like,
Sotbits.
Aye.
You know,
they have schnozzers.
Aye.
He's thinking,
I hate dogs,
just shit ones.
There,
he's got the schnozzer,
right,
and he's always whacking his dog,
like,
so every time I got out,
he'd be fucking there with his dog, right, I said hello to him every day for the best part of fivez alright and he's always whacking his dog so every time I got in he'd be fucking there
with his dog
I said hello to him
every day
for the best part
of five years
and he said
fuck I'll back
but I just
persevered
I'm like
I'm not losing
who I am
I say hello
to the cunts
when I walk past them
and then
on the last day
I'm fucking
taking stuff
down the stairs
lumping stuff
down the stairs
he walks past
his shag dog
and he just goes
oh you're moving in or out he's a shag dog and he just goes oh are you moving
in or out
he fucking
started a fight
with me
he said hello
to me every day
for five years
he thought I was
just freaking
frequent visits
deciding if I was
going to buy it
and I've decided
no after five years
back up north
are you moving
in or out
fucking arsehole
that's interesting because I do,
I always think Scottish staff are friendlier,
but I've always just put that down to I'm Scottish.
So, like, locals are nice to locals
because it's like, all right, you're not one of them.
But it's good to know that, I mean,
your accent's definitely foreign.
One thing as well, I've slacked on my accent loads
compared to when I was in London or when I'm touring.
Just because everyone's got such a thick accent in Glasgow.
And I'm like, oh, I don't have thick accents yet.
Thank God.
And I can just see the bewilderment as people are like,
I don't know what he's saying.
They're trying to figure out where it's from.
They always get it right.
It's not like when you're in Australia
and they think you're Irish and that.
They say, oh, you're from Newcastle.
And then the dude called fucking Alan from Newcastle or something.
She-Ra.
She-Ra.
It's funny how I just went
straight Alan.
Ask if I know him.
But either the friendliness
goes off.
I was in Lynn Park
and it was icy
and somebody pointed out
that it was icy
a bit further down.
Like, oh, be careful.
It's quite icy on that footbridge.
Right. And because I've been in London for five years, Ian simply checked me pockets for change. Did you? pointed out that it was icy a bit further down like oh be careful it's quite icy on that footbridge right and
because I've been in London
for five years
Ian simply checked me
pockets for change
did you
because there's someone
tired of us in the park
did you have change
thank god
I would have given it
to a fucking
somebody being
just
absolutely
like somebody
gets up
it's icy down there
and I'm like
oh there get yourself
a warm cup of tea
I've actually I've been on the receiving end of that before you know someone
give us change when i wasn't like obviously wasn't homeless but they just had it i was hung over as
i was sitting inside newcastle airport i had like time to kill before we flight i dropped
off the hire car or something i was rough i sat there i think i had my baseball captain
the grunder or something like that right someone chucked coins in
I still to this day
don't know if I've
taken the piss off
the foot I was begging
what answer would
you be happier with
I think I've taken
the piss over this
but I can't be certain
I did look rough as
fuck
and I was sat there
with a fucking
upturned hat
that is on you
it's like if you had
a coffee cup with
nothing in it
what else do you
expect to happen
at that point
stick it in the
bin otherwise
people think you're
homeless
I still live now
there's just a
couple of lads
where I buy one
and I'm reaching
in and Chuck
has changed
and all that
I was just
saying
give me some
of Gregsy's
will that be
and give me some
of Stigby's
will that be
so anyway
I've got addicted
to doing that
lately
I don't want to it's printing money so I lately I don't want to
it's printing money
so I was
I don't know if I'm
I don't know if I'd point out
a slippy spot to someone
I'm a bit of an arsehole
in the sense that like
you follow them with a camera
no
no
but like I'm very much of
you know
it's the circle of life
so if I'm walking along
right and I nearly slip on this bit of ground
and two people have just walked past me,
they've not told me that bit's slippy.
So they've not paid that kindness forward.
Therefore, there's no kindness for me to therefore pay forward.
And also, I want to make sure I'm not the only dumb cunt
that fucking slipped on some ice there.
I want to make sure that I turn around to go see the other person.
So I go, oh, good, good.
Right, it's everyone.
It's everyone.
Everyone's a fucking idiot.
It's not just me.
I'd let it happen.
I remember when I was little, I had a pogo stick.
We just did it in the back of the house.
And my dad was like, I bet you can't do 15.
And I was trying for ages to do like fucking 15.
And then he got bored of watching, so he got somewhere else.
And then, so I moved it to like
a different part of the house
and
it was just
much fucking slippery
so I was on my polka stop
and I fucking cunted it
like one jump up in the air
it hit the ground
the rubber bit just fucking slipped
and I fucking spanked it
on my ass
right
and my dad comes through
he sees me like
what happened
and I was like
16
I got 16
he was like
alright I'll beat that
and then went to polka stop on the what happened? And I was like, eh, 16, I got 16. He was like, all right, I'll beat that.
And then went to Pocos Day on the exact same stop,
and I was like, let it happen.
I watched my 37-year-old dad fucking cut himself off this Pocos Day,
and he was raging.
He was like, is that what I heard?
Was that the bang I heard?
Did you know this was slipping? I was like, no, no, no, no, I did 16, like I said.
You pranked him. Not pranked him, just, I this was slipping? I was like, no, no, no, no. I did 16, like I said. You pranked him.
I didn't prank him.
I just didn't change the situation.
It's not my responsibility to change the situation.
Emitting the truth is still lying, Daniel.
Or is it?
Is emitting the truth lying?
No, I think it's...
If lying's a spectrum, it's...
Very low.
It's there with white lie.
Aye. No, I don't think emitting truth is... if lying's a spectrum it's very low it's there with white lie aye
no
no no
I don't think
admitting truth
is
is lying
but just because
it's not lying
doesn't mean
it's inherently good
just because
you know
you can still
admit lies
and be a
admit truths
and still be a
shite person
yeah
it all depends
on how you
wield
like what if you like
are the as you say the bathtub's full Like what if you're like, oh, the, as you say, the air pot,
the bathtub's full, right?
What if the truth that you admitted
that it's full of acid?
Well, I'd say that's bad.
With observations.
So every situation's different, isn't it?
Yeah, yeah, look, it's all a spectrum.
It's a wide range of possibilities.
Also, I don't know if I'd...
You know, you're talking about you wouldn't tell the person,
you would admit the truth to a passerby about the thing being icy.
Again, I'm not admitting truth because I'm not in a conversation with a person.
So there's nothing to omit because there was nothing happening.
I'm not offering up something.
I'm not...
That is true.
Otherwise, like, you can't just give a pass up,
aye, all of your truths.
Yeah.
Tell me your date of birth and all that.
Yeah, just...
Sometimes I do a shower just when I'm lonely,
just because sometimes when I'm on tour,
I get bored, so just the warmth of the shower is enough.
Anyway, enjoy your walk.
I remember I was walking with Ronan Grace and you and Jean and everyone was slightly
behind us and I'm chatting away at him right this was one of my finest moments I'm chatting away at
him and I can tell he stopped listening because he spotted these two girls that are walking up
in our direction right and his head is turning with them as they're as they're approaching right
and I am like,
his eye line's going to follow these girls.
He's not going to see the lamppost.
He's walking right towards.
And he's kind of whacking at that lamppost.
So I just cut off in the middle of the talk and stepped back in between you and Gene
and went, watch this,
and pointed at Ronan.
Just Ronan whacking at the lamppost.
Oh, oh, oh, great.
I think it's the best.
Nothing wrong with it. I think that's the best. Nothing wrong with it.
I think that's fine.
You're not admitting truth.
You're leaving someone a lesson to learn.
Aye.
Because if you told them that,
the only lesson that they would have learned
is that strangers can be kind.
And that's not a lesson I want to teach people.
That's a dangerous lesson
when people then begin to rely on other people.
We went for our Sunday walk yesterday with Gareth
and Laura
down the
fucking
all the way down Crammond
we do
and
doing the river
I just do the river
just so you know
fucking meet up with
other people
have you been across the causeway yet
to the island
you have to check the timings
no
I noticed there's like a little timing up
like bus stop
and it tells you when
you've got to go to the road
Cara keeps suggesting
I'm just like I'm just not like there it is it tells you when you're going to get on the road I kind of keep suggesting I'm just like
I'm just not
like there it is
it's very much
the Eiffel Tower to me
are you scared
no
are you scared
of getting stuck
or what
no
I've walked down there
the walk is the same
each week
we get to the bit
there's the fucking
ice cream van
then we go back
and then you've got
the island
where they defended
during the war
they set up to defend
have you read the little things next to it?
No, again, once I've said it, I've not gone to the island.
I can't be arsed.
Oh, it's like...
Because at that point, that's the halfway mark of the walk.
If I were to walk further...
It's essentially like a museum, the island.
I can't... It's not...
If I walk beyond it...
We're all busy watching stuff about World War II at the minute
and it's quite historic.
It's like a little...
Oh, yeah, that fucking very famous important island.
I remember that in fucking episode 9
of World War 2 in colour
they were talking about
that island in Edinburgh
I'll work out one day
I plan to do the work
every Sunday
I'm not walking
an extra fucking bit
scared of the causeway
can't be arsed
can't be fucking arsed
I'm halfway through the walk
you're right
if I were to then walk further
it's no longer
halfway through the walk
so I've had my ice cream
one third into the walk
as opposed to
halfway through the walk
you can actually
it's just a small walk
across the causeway
it's not at all
it's another ten minutes
it's another ten minutes
and it's with people there
never known anyone
to be scared of a causeway
no I did it
I can't be arsed
I've heard Mark Nelson's car
breaking down on the causeway
at the Holy Island
oh yeah
and the water just starts
licking his tyres
oh that must be
but
that wasn't when he
fucked his car
I think they managed to
fucking jet ski him
out of there
aye that wasn't when
always not thumbling
innit
he's got bad
his car set on fire
on the way to my gig
aye
one day I'm just
bursting into flames
aye
like Christmas
Christmas
he's cash payment
from the comedy stalkings
the cunts
got no luck
he was really
fucking bad
now that was a
completely separate
time the time
they broke down
on a course
way and got
washed out by the
sea
two separate
incidents with
Mark Nelson
fucking yes
well you'll get to
see a bit more
nearly now that
you're in Glasgow
aye
once I'll be able
to do what you
and Gareth were just
done then
like whack up
somewhere and
cower out of it
okay I mean you
can try and spin it
as much as you want
but you can try and
spin utter laziness
and utter
disdains wrong
we can whack up
to the woods and
then just go
no I'm not going
to go into the
woods
it's not the
little red eyeballs
that are peering
out of the
little critters
it's not the teddy bears
that are doing a picnic
it's just that
I just wanted to walk this far
so this is technically halfway.
It's the end of the walk.
It's the end of the fucking walk.
It's the meat and potatoes
of the walk.
It's not.
The meat and potatoes
walking by the river
feeding the ducks.
We didn't walk down there
for the island.
We got down there
and they were like
oh there's a causeway
shall we go over there
and I was like no.
Because Hanson Holden stays in the airport.
I do do that.
And you know I do.
Stay in the airport.
No, but I'm not going to fucking see the sites
that everyone else says I should see
just because some other fucking lame cunts
had a profound experience out there.
I'll make my decisions about what I want to see.
That island looks boring as shit.
Do I want to spend 10 minutes walking over there,
pushing babies into the water because
I'm not getting my
shoes wet in order
to stand there
to get a very
similar view to
the one I have here
to then walk back
and continue another
45 minute walk home
can't be arsed
you can wear willies
if you're scared
of getting your
ankles wet
oh no I do wear
willies
it's not about
the footwear
it's not
I cannot be
you cannot it's about I'm a very cut it's not I cannot be you cannot
it's about
I'm a very plan
orientated person
I bet your car
really wants to go
to that island
she does
and she's welcome
to go over
why
I can't be arsed
it's literally
like 100 metres
there's nothing
you're describing it
like it's some sort
of fucking play school
where there's
so many secrets
oh once you get over there
the view's better it's not it's a bit of land 500 yards where there's so many secrets. Oh, once you get over there, the view's better.
It's not.
It's a bit of land 500 yards over there.
It's no different to where I am right now.
It's got like a plinth with a little bit about the history of it.
It's got a timetable of when you can cross.
It has intrigue.
It has major intrigue.
And you get like, I only didn't go across because I would have had to swim.
I'd miss the timings.
And I was like,
next time I go on there,
I'll try and time it right.
Man, you're more than welcome to.
I recommend arriving down there
by half past 11.
You can walk straight past.
Time you avoid.
No, no.
That's what I did there.
I'll watch.
Anyone can walk over.
I've got no fucking interest.
It's a tiny shit island
with nothing on it.
Sorry, I'm just describing Scotland
at this point.
It's a tiny shit island with nothing on it.
So I'm just describing Scotland at this point.
One thing... Oh, sorry, you were telling us about your walk
and then I interjected about the...
Oh, yeah.
The shite end bit of the walk
that nobody else was supposed to do extra.
Right.
So, obviously, like...
I understand fucking pensioners
need to go outside
to fucking walk
and to be
and to get the fucking
fresh air and stuff
stay active
in the formative years
stay active
is that the right word
yeah
and we're still
in the middle of a
fucking pandemic
a pandemic
where pensioners
are more at
fucking risk
and what not
so I do understand
like you know
if I'm in a supermarket
and stuff
if I see an old person there,
oh, I'm a bit easier with pensions
than I am with other people.
Like, if you're standing in front of the spices
and I need the spices
and you're under the age of 45,
I'm leaning over you to get the spices.
I'm not waiting two minutes
for you to decide which fucking cumin you want, right?
We can be close at this point.
But if that's an elderly person...
But if it's an elderly person...
Take your time. Take your time. I'm keeping two metres from you. Yeah, yeah. fucking cumin you want, right? We can be close at this point. But if that's an elderly person... But if it's an elderly person...
Take your time.
Take your time.
I'm keeping two metres from you.
Yeah, yeah.
So I do try to,
even though I have,
as you well know,
a fucking real strong
disdain of pensioners,
and I think it's class
when they die across the board.
I think they're all bad people.
You kind of soften
when it comes to killing them.
No, no, I don't,
but I don't want...
You don't want to be seen
to be killing them. Yes. I want don't, but I don't want... You don't want to be seen to be killing them. Yes.
I want them dead,
but I don't want me to be the reason
they died. I think it's brilliant when they
die, and it should be celebrated, but
I'd never want to be the cause of it.
We're walking down the fucking thing yesterday
and there's just these... And you know the walk.
It's a busy fucking walk, right?
Especially now that everyone's just enjoying the few hours they can get
out of the day. There's this old couple, right? Especially now that everyone's just enjoying the few hours they can get out of the day.
There's this old couple, right?
Hand in hand, right?
And they're just standing at the site, right?
And me and Colin are just fucking walking up.
We've got our ice creams.
We're enjoying ourselves just chatting.
And I'm not kidding you.
They're about 1.5 metres away from us, right?
I don't have a tape measure, right?
But I make sure that we all go around the fucking outside of the pensioners
and they start and the fucking old man a scottish tory i knew the second he opened his fucking mouth
because i knew because he pointed when he was talking to you he went you there good two meters
two meters two meters i was like mate this the like i can't change how wide this fucking thing
is i didn't engage with him because well two reasons, I was high and I couldn't be arsed.
And two, I was like,
there's no interaction that you're about to have
with this old man
where you come across well.
He's actually,
even though he wants you to be,
even though he doesn't know
what two metres is,
he thinks it's five metres, right?
He's lost his fucking sense.
He wants us to be walking
in a very dangerous part.
He's in his own head.
He's doing it for his own fucking safety.
But we're nowhere fucking near
but just like
all the way down
it was like a fucking
slalom fucking course
of just pensioners
standing outside going
excuse me
could you move further over
could you move further over
how about none of you
go on a walk
right
walk somewhere
that's not as narrow
I'm sorry
but I guarantee
I'm not the first person
you've said this to
and looking behind me
I'm not going to be
the last person
so how about instead of
nobody here going for this walk you don't come on this walk and go over to
I don't know that causeway that's very boring that nobody wants to go to may I suggest three o'clock
it's a great time to go over you'll enjoy it thoroughly so so they're still there to purposefully
be cantankerous oh man yes there's somewhere to grain the fucking decades of angst against.
Just, and again,
I understand it comes from a place of fear.
He said,
I'm protecting my wife
against this invisible fucking disease.
I'm like, mate,
you're outside in the fucking woods.
Right?
If I was,
if I was,
well, I mean,
it did cross my mind.
Just not,
not to do it,
but you know how bad things cross your mind
that you're never going to do.
You're walking across a bridge and your brain goes, throw your phone in the water. You to do it but you know how bad things cross your mind that you're never going to do you're walking across a bridge and your brain goes throw your phone in the water you never do it it's just one of those thoughts that comes in your head my one was just because it's just this
fucking tone right and i i hate as an adult being spoken to like a child i think it's one of the
most demeaning fucking things in the world and i fucking hate it and it makes me regress to being
a fucking child you know so this is old i'm 30 and it makes me regress to being a fucking child
uh you know so this is old man 30 years old I fucking pay tax I pay a fucking mortgage right I'm a grown man right I do not get spoken to you're the young boy go away I was like you
sneeze in his face just go and pull his fucking mats down hold his mouth open and sneeze in his
fucking mouth didn't do it never would obviously that Obviously that's murder. But you had to press snooze on that thought.
No, no.
You had to go, oh, I've got to be
a good person to deny that thought.
A bad person would activate it.
No, no. Opposite, opposite. I snoozed
him and then enjoyed that thought for
the rest of the walk.
I was like, I could stay here and engage
with this man. You got off on the fantasy of it.
Aye, aye. You know, it got off on the fantasy of it. Aye, aye.
You know, I got off on the fantasy of doing something evil,
but while also being the bigger man.
I was just going, it didn't say anything negative to him at all.
Just went, all right, sorry,
and then moved 20 metres over to the other fucking side.
And I was like, that's a good thing, right?
I've been the bigger man.
I've not engaged with him. I've fucking adhered to his fucking thing.
And also,
if dreams do come true,
I've wished him dead.
Like if meta-loving kindness works,
then sort of meta-hating evil.
That's a good question.
I would love to ask.
Meta-hating evil.
Would you reckon that's what it is?
So obviously meta-loving kindness
is the meditation where you think
of someone that you like and you care about and you picture them being happy well this is where
my loma came would think that it was going to just give the person you're thinking about a spring in
their step right but this is where i would go no this is all for me yes my attitude towards them
and who they are to me is going to be improved and my relationship with them is going to be improved
by me
having good thoughts
having 10 minutes
of guided meditation
and also makes yourself
feel better
having happy thoughts
positive thoughts
about someone you love
makes you feel like
a good person
the other day
I was doing a meta one
and they were like
think of someone
that you've got
an uncomplicated
relationship with
and I was like
Matty the pincer
let's just think
about Matty and then I started wishing him well and the pincer I was just thinking about Matty and then
I started wishing him well and it was making his legs
shrink nice fingers with Matty and that
and at the 10 minutes I had the worst headache
my head was banging
this is something that makes me feel better
I feel dehydrated
and absolutely drained
it was only when I started doing
fucking meta loving kindness
that I realised
up until that moment
I'd been living my life
the opposite
like instead of just
sitting down for long periods
of time
and just thinking about you
or Natalie
or Jean
or Natalie
or any of the people
that I care about
wishing them well
I'd just sit on a plane
with a glass of whiskey
going
it's gonna be fucking brilliant
when Nigel Farage is dead like it's gonna be fucking brilliant when Nigel Farage is dead
like it's going to be so class
when Nigel Farage is dead
like it's going to be a great day on the internet
just sending hate into the world
that's what I was doing but that also
made me feel good
I just find it's less progressive
so whatever the opposite of meta is
I've been accidentally doing it for most of my life
but the meta stuff I've been accidentally doing it for most of my life but the meta stuff
I mean
have you done the
because obviously
the later stage of the meta stuff
is somebody that you do
have a complicated
relationship with
and then I think
it just turns into
picture Hitler
and picture him happy
oh yeah
I think there was
I didn't have to date
about anyone
that I hated
but it was like
someone you find annoying fucking who was it again Matty again Matty I can't have to date anyone that I hated. Right. But it was like someone you find annoying.
Fucking who was it again?
Matty again.
Aye, Matty.
I can't remember who it was now,
but I just like...
Maybe Pascoe.
I was like, nah, I fucking stopped it.
I was allowed to date that.
I wish I couldn't, well...
But I was dating him.
I was dating him on the day. And it doing them. I was doing one the day,
and it's the one that you hate,
The Headless Way.
Oh.
And I know you hate it.
I kind of did the things new
without thinking how much you hate it.
Now, you would have fucking hated this one.
It was the movement episode of The Headless Way.
It was about how you don't move,
things move through you right so could you
stand up right and it's basically like the the the concept of it right is that you are a stillness
and everything happens within the stillness like your consciousness is still any sound that passes
through it is entering an exit in the stillness that is your consciousness i get that concept of
it so he's like point a finger
at your face right and he's like i should stand up point your finger at your face like now move
around and just say so is is are you moving or is the world outside moving past you you're moving
all right yeah and i am moving yeah you told me and you just give us like this point in front of
us that isn't moving all that is that's. That's moving with me. So it gives the illusion that everything else is moving by.
So it's one of those mental fuck-ups where I'm trying to see what the guy's getting at
and what he's trying to put down, whereas you would have just went,
no, this is wrong.
No, it is factually wrong.
So what he's saying is if you're sat on a train, right, and you're facing, you're facing the way you're going,
right,
everything rushes towards you
and passes through the void
that is you,
right,
and anything,
when you're facing the other direction.
I don't like being referred to as a void.
A void.
Vacuum.
You're an absolute vacuum.
A joy,
a soul second.
So when you're travelling the other way,
everything is coming out of the endless void
that is you,
right,
so he's trying to give it that,
right, and I'm trying to give it that right
and I'm trying to fucking
take it on board right
and I've fucking got my finger
pointing at my face
and I'm turning around
and I'm fucking looking
at my fence and see like
the other hoosers
in my new street
they're like
oh there's my new neighbours
fucking looking through
that cunt that's moved in
I just like pointing
at his own face
he's just fucking
spinning around in a circle
pointing at his own face
the daft cunt
I keep I nonce nonce that one.
Point at the nonce.
He's doing it.
He's doing it.
You've seen this, the nonce moved in,
no message and such.
Oh, I just, I've not, I've been bad with the,
well, not bad with meditation,
but I've been off of it.
I've been finding my meditation in other things.
Like this morning, you know how I hate doing the floors?
This morning with George, I did the floors this morning, you know how I hate doing the floors? This morning was yours as well.
I did the floors this morning,
but I was just like,
do it.
Instead of doing what I normally do
when I do floors,
we just go,
fuck, I wish this was over.
I fucking hate doing the floors.
I was like,
why not just be,
practice the movement fucking meditation
of be present in every part of it, right?
Because then,
double whammy,
you're technically meditating
and that way you don't have to go listen
to that fucking nut job
whisper lies in your ears for 20 minutes
because you're tied into a fucking subscription
that you can't cancel for some fucking reason.
Or you can get that same 20, 25 minutes a piece
that you used to get from that fucking nut job, right?
And have a clean floor at the end of it.
So it's a bit,
I mean, you still get distracted.
The problem is you don't have Sam Harris
constantly going
hey hey
come back
the item of
mindfulness
is the task
at hand
which is why
I find it
so good man
because it's a
task
it's like
you're focusing
on something
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I I I I I I I I I I I I I say on that matter. I just want to change the subject. Oh, no.
Then I put something in my head.
I was like, oh, I'll get back to that.
So there's a new segue here.
I've loved chatting to builders.
Aye.
I haven't chewed their ear off.
I don't even have that fucking day, right?
Because I've had guys come in to skim the walls, right? And also to fix the radiator that I pulled off the wall.
What did you
I just you know
I looked at it
and I was like
no for me
I wrenched it off the wall
you know
so why did you rip
a radiator off the wall
so it was on brackets
right
not anymore
it's not
I was scraping
the wallpaper off
and I
I lifted the radiator off
to put it on the floor
so I could get behind it.
Right.
I didn't think you meant to do that.
No, I was going to say,
why was that ever part of your process?
Because I think I've seen my dad do it.
Right.
Right?
I think I've seen radiators,
but clearly what he's done...
He's unscrewed it.
Something like that.
He's turned the main off of the wall. He's like,
yeah,
he's turned the main off of the wall.
Like,
he's made sure that none of it's fucking connected up.
He's put the taps in
so all the water
will eventually flood at the taps
so there's no water in the system
so that when he takes off the wall,
there's not a...
Ah,
he's like,
clearly done something,
bleeded it.
Bleaded?
Bleaded?
Bled.
Bled already?
Is that not, Is this not like,
you've got mouse,
in Mace,
but when you've got a mouse for a computer,
it's Moses.
It's Moses for a computer.
Mace is like the click,
disagree.
Moses.
Disagree.
Hanged.
Oh yeah,
I know that one,
but the same with,
I'll never say jump,
I'll only say jump,
and I know jump's not a word
jump
oh I do one of these as well
oh jump is Scottish
I jump in the water
I jump in the sea
I jump in the water
I'll never date
but I respect you
not for me though
alright
there's one that I heard
used on television
and she called herself on it
it was on like
Good Morning or something
and she's a Geordie lass
and she said it and then realised it wasn't a word and corrected and i was
like oh i've always wondered if that wasn't a word like to treat treated oh treat treat myself
isn't a word see now this is where this is people come in and go that's not a word that's not a word
that's not a word and you go right okay maybe not by the standards
of that language
but here's a question for you
when I said the word
did you know what I meant
right
so did the word
convey meaning
which is the job of a word
when I said the word
did it convey the meaning
I meant to get across
yeah right
so you're just being
a panicky cunt
yes
and I do think bled
is with bleed the radiator
because you're using it
in the same exact language
as when you bleed.
Aye.
Right?
Because it's the fluid leaving the thing.
English words don't always follow the same...
English is a hard word
because all the rules for each word change.
You can add ed on something to make it a verb, a past tense,
but that's also not always the fucking case.
There's all the exceptions,
the i before e except after c.
There's a lot of that in the English language.
So, you know, in Scotland we've got fucking j and they're like jump's not a word you go right but you know what i mean when i say jump yes right so what's the fucking problem
i'll not write it down in an exam i'll not write it down in an exam and i accept that if it was in
an english exam i'd fail in an exam but in everyday conversation we're not in it it's not an exam. But in everyday conversation, we're not in an... It's not an exam. If I say I jump in the sea,
you go, what?
You what in the sea? You
masturbated in the sea? You
juggled into the sea? I jump. Work out.
I think when you ask for a glass of water
in America, and we've been through this before, but they're like,
what? What? Huh?
Water. You're like, oh, so it was close
enough for you to get it. Water?
You want some water? Just water? I'm not going to use... I didn't like jump, oh, so it was close enough. I didn't get it. Water? You want some water?
Just water?
I'm not going to use, I didn't like jump.
But I get it.
You're not going to stop using it.
It's like people in Ashford say sna instead of snow.
It's because you know how they say it at different, nah.
Aye.
Sna.
Snow.
No snow.
Nah.
So hold on.
So obviously like the.
I think most Geordies opt out of saying sna.
But I shouldn't
like Deepest Darkest
Northumberland
sna
so there used to be
a comedy club
at the
fucking
Xscape
the indoor snowboard
and skiing place
in Glasgow
and they used to do
a comedy night there
and it was called
Snow Joke
but that pun
would still work
in Cramlington
of sna joke
sna joke
because
na also
no
na na na because it's no you say na for no Snare joke. Snare joke. Because, snare also. No. Nare.
Nare.
Nare.
Nare,
because it's no.
You say nare for no,
as in knowledge.
You wouldn't say nare for no,
you'd say nare.
For no.
For no.
So,
nare is no as in,
Nare snare.
Yes.
Nare snare.
Right,
that aside, bleeding the radio
at that Raid
I get
Natalie and her mum
were both like
can't you not
take that off the wall
I think it's on hinges
it comes off the wall
oh what's that
yeah so let me just
replay this again
so there's two women there
going can't you not
make it rip off the wall
and you being from Blythe
you're like well
that's two women's opinions
so that counts as towards
I think
half of a man's opinion so you're almost there ladies unfortunately you're like, well, that's two women's opinions, so that counts as towards, I think,
half of a man's opinion,
so you're almost there, ladies.
Unfortunately,
you're still outvoted,
so I'll go ahead.
So I do have some,
I do need to correct my behaviour.
I am very aware of that.
I catch myself doing it all the time,
and this was one of them moments where I didn't catch myself.
It's really like,
these dumb broads.
And I was like,
oh, these dumb broads, man was like oh these dumb broads man
like how do they think
the wallpaper I got
put behind the radiator
because somebody's dad did it
and they fucking
bleeded the radiator
like
so I just say
and there
you just put it down
yeah man
fucking what
I just start pissing out the pipe
oh what do I
and I'm like
I need a spanner,
I need a ratchet, right?
She fucking
Natalie runs through
the room,
she brings us
the spanner
with a wheel in the middle.
Oh, the fastest one, yes.
The monkey wrench.
Oh.
Into the ratchet, eh?
So I get that in
and I start tightening it
and I was like,
oh, it's not coming out
the thing,
it's cutting,
like,
I'd actually bent the paper
and there was a hole
in the paper
and it was coming
out the paper, right? And what like, it had actually bent the pipe and there was a hole in the pipe and it was coming out the pipe.
Right.
And what sort of volume are we talking?
Like, putting your finger over the end of the tap.
Right.
Like a spray.
Yeah.
Like a last pissing.
Right.
Right.
And it's spraying everywhere, right.
And I couldn't think of what else to do
apart from shout,
we need a plumber.
So I'm just there.
The place is getting drenched.
It's my fucking first day in my fucking new house.
And upstairs and out, so I'm thinking about the ceilings.
Aye.
Aye.
Aye, we need a plumber.
We need a plumber.
Luckily for me, there was a plumber coming.
Was there?
There was a plumber on was there there was a plumber
on the way
because the
person who sat
with the hoose
wasn't working
so he'd come to try
and get it on
he thought it was
something to do
with the pressure
and he'd booked
someone to come
and do it
because he had
his hand on the hoose
they've been
at the previous owners
there was a couple
of little things
that they've just
picked up
they're like
what are the problems
we'll deal with it
so he was dealing with that the previous owner had his guy come and run and there's a couple of little things that they've just picked up. They're like, oh, what are the problems? We'll deal with it.
So he was dealing with that.
The previous owner had his guy come around to sort my boiler out and get me heating on.
So luckily, there wasn't any heating in the...
That wasn't boiling hot.
No, right.
Oh, fucking jammy bastard that that wasn't fucking roasting hot water coming out.
I just used all the blankets that were brought,
all the flow rugs
the dust sheets
for the painting
just got a hell of them
and just put them under
mopped them up
every fucking towel in the house
just fucking
until the radiator
and I had drained
all of these garments
and then it eventually
stopped raining
and I had to stop shouting
when you needed a plumber
so the plumber came over
and probably went
you're not meant to rip that
out of the wall
for no fucking reason
just that later
and the man were like well surprise, that's what we said.
Aye, I needed a man to tell us.
Thank God you came here.
These two ladies, they were saying I shouldn't rip this out of the wall.
You think they should?
Okay, it's now one and a half to one.
By the way, two ladies who are both way more proficient at life than me.
A hundred percent, yeah.
Way more proficient.
at life than me 100%
way more proficient
like
there was
there was
there was
a bust pipe
just because of the ice
at their
at their house
at the parents
at Natalie's parents house
and it was just because
it had froze
just above the tap
and when he turned the tap on
and fucking released it
and it
it started spraying
from above the tap
and
nobody knew where the stopcock was
I didn't
I didn't live there
Bobby didn't
because Bajal's
the man of the house
and Alex
just
didn't seem to give a fuck
so it's just
three blokes there
going
wait this is just
going to keep spraying
until the lasses get in
and it was like
a realisation
in that moment
that like
it's a
it's a matriarch
much like your hoose
much like your brain it's a matriarch much like your house much like your brain
it's a matriarch
and then those two were behind us
and they're not better than me
I know that
it's in my knowledge
but they're deep rooted
in grade
ladies I'm sorry
who invented plumbing it was the Romans
and as far as I've heard
there was no such thing
as a Roman woman
that's why they're called
Romance
stay in your lane
and I catch myself
all the time
if I'm like
if I talk about a pilot
I'll default them to male
if I talk about
a games designer
or a surgeon
I'll default them to male
if I see somebody
fucking
fanny on at a junction
I'll default them to woman alright and I'll fucking fanny on at a junction I'll default them to woman
alright
right
and I'll fucking check myself
all the time
like this is like
ingrained shit
where normally people my age
will just post a mental overlap
and go
it is who I am
I did try and check myself
and that was just
fucking one of them moments
for me
I do get those moments
whenever like
I really understand
like if there's
a fucking traffic problem
and you're like
this damn bitch
and you go
oh no it could be a man and this damn bitch and you go oh no
it could be a man
and you drive past
the really guy
and you're like
oh no
I wish I was a bloke
god
not only am I sexist
I'm correct
but
so these
this is the
plaster
the heating engineer
the plasterer
and all that
come around
and
I feel like when I talk to them,
even though I'm fucking useless at the stuff that they do, right,
I feel like the Sears is one of them.
You know?
No, no, no.
I feel like they're like, oh, he's a working class lad.
He probably likes his sports and that.
Like, I feel like I have way more in common
with the builders that come from Houston
than I do with like
my friends in the arts
aye
you know what I mean
that should be me
I get
I just get
not nervous
around fucking trainees
but just whenever
they come round
because it's a
big nice house
because a lot
like you know
I'm only famous
if you watch fucking comedy
but if you don't
you've got no idea
who I am
so you've just got
trainers coming in
oh it's a
it's a nice place
thanks man
so you're
your mum and dad
no no
no it's me
oh what does your girlfriend do
no it's me
that's right
well that's something
a coach playing with his phone
every day
as you pass through
doing work
yeah yeah yeah
oh where's she
no she's upstairs working
yeah yeah yeah who paid for it, no a prom shoot
what's me, I know this
I know it seems like I'm a toy boy
I know she comes downstairs
you're expecting an elderly woman
with a dead husband's mission
and they're like what, that's her
I'm like yeah
she's the one I've gone for
she's a cougar, look at her
I do feel like I don't know if you got this as well Like, yeah, she's the one I've gone for. She's a cougar. Look at her.
I do feel like,
and I don't know if you got this as well because you've had quite a few builders
in the last few months.
I hate doing nothing in the house
while there's people in the house working.
I hate sitting there with my book
or sitting there playing on my phone.
You know, if there's somebody...
I understand.
If he's going up between the radiator and the boiler
and I'm sat in my rocking chair
reading a book
I feel like I should be
doing something
disagree
because I'm very much
I'm like
I get what you're meaning
absolutely
we were getting our plumbing fixed
last week
the fucking heating finally
and there was like
three guys in the house
doing it
and they're all just going round
like being like
making sure the pipes
are connected
to the right fucking bits
and that's just the entire time
and I was sat there
reading my book and it crossed my mind just the entire time and I was sat there reading my book
and it crossed my mind just being like
I offer them teasing coffees
you've got to do that
but at some point I go
anything my voice goes get up and help them
I guarantee you you're just going to annoy them
take all of your pride
and all your bad uses
trust me the most useful you can be to this man
is to be nowhere near
what they're doing
otherwise they wouldn't be here
don't be their heckler
yeah
oh so what's the
I've caught myself
so many times before
just you know
instinctively having
the conversations
that you feel
you sort of need to have
when the plumber's
fixing something
like when he was
diagnosing it
I was just stood behind him
for 10 minutes
going oh aye oh aye
and I was like mate I don't know what you're saying or what you're talking about and it I was just stood behind him for 10 minutes going oh aye oh aye and I was like mate
I don't know what
you're saying or
what you're talking
about and like I'm
just gonna leave
come update me on
it and then tell
the he was like
mate that's much
better for me
you just want to
grab them by the
arm just please
don't rob us
you know I'm stupid
don't take advantage
well I've also
oh man fucking
when we first got
this place the
original trainee
saw me coming from
a mile off
there was at least
one oh yeah
one trainee just fucking
took it and gone
but with these new plumbers
that we've got
like they're
you know when you get somebody
who's just fucking
immaculate at their job
at their profession
regardless of what it is
doesn't matter whether
that person
is like a
even if it's just a fucking
bus driver
who's always on time
the spinning the sign guy
from Seoul
aye aye
but like no matter what their job is they give it a hundred fucking percent and who's always on time the spin and the same guy from Seoul aye aye but like
no matter what
their job is
they give it
100%
and they're experts
on it
that's why I really
enjoyed seeing
Pink in concert
aye
I'm not that
into her music
but I was like
she is killing it
she's a fucking
professional
man it's the same
I got to speak
to a history podcast
with a guy from
Dundee University
last week
and he's gone to
Mexico because he just wants to understand
basically how the coffee bean spreads all over the world,
but why it changes from place to place.
And this is just one tiny bit of South American fucking history.
But he was so into it.
Nothing that's ever interested him before.
Is this a tradesman?
No, no, no, sorry.
I'm talking about...
No, no, no.
I did a podcast last week. Yes, yes. But the guy on No, no, no, sorry. I'm talking about... No, no, no. I did a podcast last week.
Yes, yes.
But the guy on it,
his history major is in the coffee bean in South America.
And you go, all right, there's none of that addresses.
And then you listen to him fucking talking about it
and it's his fucking passion.
And you end up listening to this guy
and go, this is actually fascinating.
When you find somebody who loves their fucking job,
it's the ones he...
I think it's attractive.
Yeah?
It's a really attractive quality
when someone is
fucking
properly good
at what they're doing
this is my job

I'm a accountant
I'm a banker

just what he took mate
I don't know what he is
aye how did he find out
well he stopped coming

we'd see him like
maybe three or four times a week
but the occasional day
when it wasn't him
right
and it was
some of his other
miserable co-workers
right
but
just for Christmas
I gave him his
I gave him his Christmas cards
did you tip him enough
to retire
well I didn't think so
like it was
it was a fucking
nice tip
because it's fucking
pandemic

our security system
here is a fucking nightmare
sometimes
and how bad our gates can be
and how long it takes them
to open and what not

we don't know where he is
I've not asked the other ones yet
because
you didn't want to

I don't want
to fucking
mug them off
and be like

where's our
regular postie

great job
I don't even
know his name

I'm not that good
at faces but I'd
recognise him
if I saw him
can you just
bring everyone
you work with
open up your
Facebook
I'm assuming
you're friends
with all posties
on Facebook
so just go
through your
friends list and I'll tell you which friends with all posties on Facebook so just go through your friends list
and I'll tell you
which one he is

I don't know where
so look
if you're my postie
and you're out there
listening to this
please come back
we miss you dearly
it's been a month
that's sad
it is
sorry about that mate
worried that
because we're obviously
worried that he's got
Covid
and he's gonna die
right
or
he's been let go
which
I was
I was listening
you're not a big fan
of this book
but the Dark Tower
on audiobook right
first four audiobooks
read by the same guy
right
the fifth one
different guy
not wrong with the other guy
right
nothing wrong with this dude
but Ali Frank
Frank was killing it right
you're also killing it
but just in a different way
that's unfamiliar
and you're putting
different voices on
for Eddie Dean
that he was putting on
so now it's a different
it's like home and away
where they replaced the actor
aye
I'm not vibing off it
right
so I get the end of the book
and then Stephen King
does like an epilogue
because that's not
in the actual book
but it's in the thing
which is a tribute to Frank
who'd been in a motorcycle accident oh like he's stillogue because that's not in the actual book but it's in the thing which is a tribute to Frank who'd been in a
fucking motorcycle accident
and like he's still alive
but he's like
fucking
brain damaged
or something like that
and that was
fucking gutting
this book
they're like 28 hour books
or audio books
the man had read you
bedtime stories
every day for us
every fucking day
man I'd spend
hundreds of hours
especially when you're
an old man
you're still waiting
in the car driving you're on old man you're in the car
driving
you're on a train
you do your thing
because it's like
a book
I was going through
a range of emotions
with them
I grieved with them
you know what I mean
Jesus
I always hate
I used to hate
when fucking
not graphic novels
comic books
when they came out
week by week
the ultimate
Spider-Man ones
you get fucking
102 issues into a series and they go oh we've week the ultimate Spider-Man ones you get fucking 102 issues
into a series
and they go
oh we've changed
the artwork
and you go
you might as well
change the superhero
I'm not interested
like I've become
so fucking used
to this thing
what if they
have Saga just
quarterised the books
and stopped
I think so
because they were like
oh we're going to
take a break now
at the end of
oh fuck was it
with 2 year again
yeah
they're like oh we're going to take a break now and then I'm... Oh, fuck, was it Two Year again? Yeah. They were like,
oh, we're going to take a break now
and then I'm like,
oh, they're fucking tapping me.
What's new?
I'm like, this is a quite long break, this.
No, I've not...
I think Nine was the last graphic novel
that was out
and I did buy that fucking...
Because when that one came out,
I read through the ones I'd read again
and I would happily date again.
As soon as the next one comes out,
I'm reading it from the beginning
up until that
if anyone's not
read Saga before
it's by Fiona Staples
and Brian K Vaughan
it's a very
very very good
graphic novel
that's sort of set
in a future
where just the entire
universe is at war
but it's about
the characters
in it are amazing
and they're from
the two factions
that are at war with each other
Aye, it's almost Romeo and Juliet
but with so much more fucking and
carnal, bestial
fucking shit like it's
there's so many. It's brutal
but it's also such a vibrant world
there's so many great different types of. And the character arcs
are fucking great like the will
Aye, like if you've never gotten into
graphic novels and you always go
where do I start
saga book one
is a good one
because it's
I think it's also
really good at
like shattering
the illusions
of what people
expect graphic novels
to be
like I expected
when I started
when I was like
oh so they're just
like little cartoons
like it's family friendly
like it's all
you know
everyone's nice
to each other
it's like
it's like a bino
is it Disney
yeah it's like bino
it's like the fucking dandy and then and then you go off and you start reading and you're like each other. It's like a Beano. Is it Disney? Yeah, it's like Beano. It's like the fucking Dandy.
And then you go off and you start reading
and you're like, oh my God, well, that was a...
How come...
Like, I love Locke and Kay.
How is the series not a hit?
Because I don't feel like they've done anything wrong.
I think they did a bunch of things wrong.
You know what?
It was a bit like...
It wasn't as dark as I was expecting.
It was a bit more like watching a fucking teen movie,
like the OC or something.
But when you think of the graphic novel,
it kind of was.
Aye.
Do you know what I genuinely think was missing?
I love the graphic novels, obviously.
I stopped watching the TV show after about fucking eight episodes.
It just didn't win me over.
Nah, same.
I wasn't won over by it
and I just can't put my finger on what it was.
Was it what I just said, that it was on what it was. Wasn't what I just said
that it was a bit of a teen movie?
Was it too PG?
It might have been too...
No, I think they did go a little bit PG
but again, I don't begrudge them that
because they were going to Netflix
and obviously, you know,
it's a story about fucking teenagers
so it's hard to sort of make that adult-y.
They took out some of the go...
You've got to remember one of the opening scenes
in Lock and Fucking Keys,
the guy's dad gets his fucking brains blown out
and the son sees it, right?
That's not in there.
They toned that down
and that's the trauma of that character.
Also, not to do to service to any of the actors in it
who I all thought were great,
but there was no standout fucking actor.
When you've got a show like that,
either the villain or the good guy
has to be fucking
you know
the guy that played
Moriarty in Sherlock
or it needs to be
fucking
yeah like
this is a bad example
because nothing like it
but Joe Gilligan
and Brassick
that would not be
what it was
without him
yes
but that's what you need
you need an actor
Joe Gilligan is a great example
you need an actor
who's so good
that's going to fucking leap out
and whether they are
a good guy or a bad guy
to go with
I actually think
he actually carried Preacher
Joe Gilligan
as Cassidy
I didn't think
Preacher was
the snobbery
it wasn't even
I didn't even feel like
it was the same story
as the graphic novel
oh it was
no no no
it was just like
it was a departure
but Cassidy was class it was but it was Seth same story as the graphic novel. Oh, no, no, no. It was just like, it was a departure,
but Cassidy was class.
Seth Rogen, it was intentionally a departure just because, well, as we've just discussed,
it's so hard to do the graphic novels well.
And across the board, you have to mix it up
just because it's such a different format.
The closest people have ever gotten
is fucking The Watchmen and 300
and the only reason those movies are
good is because the fucking director
was told to copy them fucking frame by frame
whereas there's all this sort of creativity
that comes in with trying to
You know what they should have done with Lock and Key?
That should not have been a
series, it should
have been a computer game
That's a fucking premise on a computer game that's a fucking
premise on a computer game
that the keys
do the different things
because you get
so much of a puzzle
aspect from it
and so much of a
visual aspect from it
but you've got to go
like you can't
you can't go from
graphic novels
to computer games
it's got to go up
you've got to get
movie first
and then it becomes
a computer game
they weren't doing
Harry Potter games
before the Harry Potter movies
unfortunately
I never played the Harry Potter
is there a new one coming out
apparently there are
apparently there are
on the PS5
oh yeah
fingers crossed they're good
oh I didn't get my PS5
by the way
I don't know
oh that's what
we were going to talk
what time are we on
we've done 70 minutes
no
you should just do it
yes
oh I knew there was
something I wanted
to talk about
I was sat there
while you were
talking about
your shite house
going
I'm sure
there's a
I'm sure
there's a reason
I was like
there was something
I was going to
bring up
during this
fucking podcast
and sure enough
there it is
so do you want
to tell your
version of the
stories
so Alexander
Natalie's brother
he designed and ran a program, right?
He's good with computers.
He's a web designer, right?
And he ran a program that just searches for PS5s
that have been released, right?
And it'll come up.
And sometimes you'll get a notification,
it's one on eBay for like 1,500 pundits.
But he's constantly on the search for them.
And he's just trying to get one.
Koda had one already at over the price. He's just trying to get one like Koda had one already
at over the price
he's just trying to get one at retail
yes
right
and then
one of the ones that come up
is
100 quid
70 pound
plus 30 postage and packaging
right
and
so Alex gets a notification
like the minute that
the minute that it goes up
and he
texts us the thing
and guys
this has went up for
fucking 70 quid, it's on Amazon
I don't know what the deal is
but I've tried to buy one
and I just instantly
tried to buy one as well
bought it and then
sent Matty the link
and I didn't send it anywhere past
that because I thought this
number of things, I didn't want to be the reason
everybody gets scammed I sorry google and um i don't want to be the reason everyone gets scammed
also if they have listed it at the wrong price right left a zero off right put on a 70 instead
of 700 right i don't want them to be getting spammed to the point they have to retract
everything but it's like three slip the the net, they go, oh fuck,
we've just sold three at that price.
And then it could relist it at the regular price.
It was on Amazon.
That reputable company.
Within fucking hours,
it was gone.
It was sold out.
What either?
Or unavailable.
We're so excited.
You told me and Colin,
you're like,
we think we're going to get 70 pounds PlayStation 5
Alex has done this thing
we found this thing
and I'm going to be
the second you go
70 quid PlayStation 5
me, Colin
and everyone else in the world
including this podcast
went
right so it was a scam
you think you get
you think you get a 70 pound
you think you get
you think you're getting
a 70 pound
highest
second highest
if it was on eBay
I would have been like
well that's a scam
but because it was on Amazon
because
Heung Min Choo
sold Po
you're selling it
did you see the name
on the thing
it was 12 Chinese names
with no spaces
in between them
and you were like
this seems
in the DVD number
you know
you put is it DHL or DVD number, you know, you put the...
Is it DHL or DPD? It doesn't matter.
You put the code in for the tracking, right?
Theirs come up with nothing, right?
But theirs was only one removed from mine, their number, right?
But theirs didn't work.
And then I put mine in, and it said that it had been from Hong Kong to China,
China to Peru, and I was like, it's on its way, right?
And then it didn't have the rest of the journey.
But then I checked a week later
and I hadn't moved from Peru.
And I checked like a week later,
like a few days after that,
because it wasn't much longer than a week, right?
A few days after that.
And I don't know what's the date,
I don't know if it's November.
I don't want to give away a dingy tracking number.
So what had actually happened was
you, me and Alex
saw 75 PlayStation 5s
and you were like we've absolutely done them
somebody's accident
somebody's not only selling a PlayStation
for £700
they're not trying to make a profit on this
they've bought three
and they're going to sell them at a mark up of merely
£100
do you not hear me, It was going through Peru.
They were going to use it as a mule,
pack it with cocaine,
take the real product, the real merchandise.
Why would they do it with a real PlayStation 5?
So that they could trade him
as hundreds of pounds worth of equipment.
Yeah.
I'm joking.
It's such a it's such a
low level scam
and they must have
this guy must have
been thrilled
we were just like
fuck it
we're going to put
a bunch of
70 pound
PlayStation 5
let's look
we just
bing bing bing
three
three
oh my god
mum
three
from the same
they must be friends
they're all
well they can't be friends
since they got their other friends to join in
on this. They'll be going, oh, there's going to be more.
They're going to text all their other mates now.
Oh, that's sad.
That's sad, lonely people.
So I was just... We got the dispatch
notification. We're like, sending pictures
of the dispatch notification. It's weird.
It's real. Our £70
PlayStation 5's
because obviously the man meant to sell them for £700
but we bought them for £70
and it's legally binding
that he has it.
It didn't arrive. No.
I got a refund. Right.
Full refund including the postage and packaging
because I was like I'm glad
I'm glad
you didn't fall in dog shit
but let's not pretend
that all three of you
didn't fall over each other
fighting over dog shit
right
I'm glad
you don't stink of shit
but don't for a second
pretend
three of you
weren't fighting over dog shit
at one point
being like
let's get this dog shit
before our friends can
don't look at here
I got hit with
dual dwelling stamp
duty because I'm
tied into negative
equity with my
brother's flat
I bought a flat
with my brother
which now if I
sold it I still
wouldn't pay off
what was left on it
so I'm stuck with
this house that I
couldn't get rid of
so poor Natalie
didn't take the
burden of it
didn't pay extra
stamp duty
so I got a massive
tax bill.
And a 70 quid PlayStation would have been nice.
Aye, because I can't
lumber my wife with my
burdens, financial burdens like that
and then just like
stealing with a PlayStation
when she's
painting her own walls because of me.
She's cleaning up the floor
from the radiator
Natalie
it's only
70 quid
and she's
sitting on the roof
going
no it's not
why would
there be
a 70 pound
playstation
what have I
married
what have I
married
oh quick question
before we move on
yeah
did you
or do you plan to
before you paint
some of the rooms
write things on the wall
for the next homeowners
I didn't do it
but you know what
I feel like it's because
I'm painting with my dad
I just
I think he's
I don't think he has
that kind of joy in him
no
nah he's a laugh I have a laugh of him I just I don't think he has that kind of joy in him. No. No, he's a laugh.
I have a laugh of him.
I think he'd look at that and touch it and shake his head.
I think he'd feel like he was above that.
So I'm going to have to do it on the sly.
Bobby, is that Stephen Gerrard outside?
Is that Stephen Gerrard changing the cars on your tires?
Bobby, better go get him
Kai was here lol
paint paint paint
so
but when you're painting
is there any point
in it when you're painting
what
nobody strips paint
that's a good point
if I was wallpapering
that is good
oh no no
if I was wallpapering
I'd be
it would be much more
on my radar
but because I'm painting
I don't feel like
anyone's going to get
under that layer of paint no no you can't because that's what the
the i'm pretty sure they do i mean i'm not trading or anywhere near it but i've definitely had to
fucking chisel paint off all before because when we're doing the spare room upstairs i we that's
why we're gonna plaster um because we're so basically what they've done because there's
two parts of the house right there's the extension of the house, right? There's the extension, which is fucking brand new,
and then there's the main part of the house,
which is, like, fairly old.
And that isn't up to speed with the extension bit.
So what they've done is, like, it's been painted on,
then wallpaper over it, then the wallpaper has been painted.
And it was like, the room got bigger when we stripped it,
because it just had layers and layers. And we realized why they were on wallpaper
and paint on the wallpapers
because when you strip it, like it's fucking patchy paint.
You need paint strip,
you need to basically polyfill the whole thing
so we just got a plaster.
So I didn't think we'd be able to see behind it.
Anyway, we are over running.
Well, and it's also we've gone past 420
so I'm sober for no good reason.
Okay, let's sort that out.
Oh, and my Wi-Fi's arrived.
So I'm going to have Wi-Fi in my house now as well.
So I'll be able to stream tomorrow.
There's the plug.
I'm going to be knitting at 12 o'clock UK time on Tuesdays and Fridays from my new house.
Fucking good. Congrats.
Twitch stream is twitch.tv slash kymuggins.
