That's hack.
Oh, muggles.
Accidental rim job in the park.
Kiss, kiss, kiss.
Or am I just being cynical?
Just muggled it up on fucking Mugglepedia.
Where have you been since 9-11?
I just read a news article about a man who sued his wife for being ugly.
Did he...
Well, first of all, did he win?
Yes.
Then I don't believe the story.
In China.
Oh, now I believe the story.
All right, OK.
Fair enough.
A man and his beautiful wife have an ugly child.
Right.
He accuses her of having an affair.
There's no way me and you made this ugly child right he accuses her of having an affair there's no way
me and you
made this ugly child
found out she'd had
63,000 pounds
worth of surgery
and
tricked him into marriage
and then his ugly baby
he won the course
of a sooner
so
for deception
for having an ugly
child
he sued his wife
for deceiving her.
Him.
It was in the Daily Mirror.
Right.
There's so much about this story that I don't believe.
And no matter how many times you say the words,
but it happened in China,
it'll only get you so much leeway with my belief.
But had you said they were Americans,
oh, man.
Easy.
There would be no further questioning from me. I'm like, yeah, I bet she was an ugly cunt as well. but had you said they were Americans oh man easy I would
there would be no further
questioning from me
I'm like yeah
I bet she was an ugly cunt as well
yeah
that's a bit
but
I don't know
like so
like what about
if you were
stupid
but then read a ton of books
and got smarter
and then your kid was stupid
and you go oh yeah but I had some work done I read a bunch of books and got smarter and then your kid was stupid and you go
oh yeah but I had some work done
I read a bunch of books
aye but
but
but
like
name one person
with plastic surgery
that looks sick
over the age of 55
Tina Turner had it
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
medical records
these women
most of the time
I've not
like most most of the time I've not like most
most of you get
plastic surgery
you fucking pay for it
in the last 20 years
of your life
when the bits of your face
that you really want
to stay in position
when you were younger
stay there
and the rest of your skin
does what skin
was designed to do
that's the
that's the real price
of fucking
well apart from
the millions of dollars
obviously
yeah so you have like
you have the
the bits that
were made to look young
while the rest of your face ages around it.
Aye, aye.
And you just look like this amalgamation.
Aye.
And so later on in your life, you look fucking ugly.
So you're only buying beauty for a couple more years
by the expense of your attractiveness later on,
whereas you're not...
I wouldn't say you were doing that with intelligence.
Like, you might be stupid,
but by reading more books, you're making yourself more...
I mean, not necessarily more intelligent. You can read loads of books and still be thick as big shit. like you might be stupid but by reading more books you're making yourself more you know i
mean not necessarily more intelligent you can read loads of books and somebody's thickest picture
depends what books you read but uh it's unless you get dementia i guess then that's kind of
you know i've been calling dementia dementia as in the words what there's two of them you're
forgetting shapes it It's D.
I've been corrected a couple of times now for saying dementia.
I'm like, is it not dementia?
No.
I can't even blame my accent for that one.
I've just been saying it wrong.
Dementia.
Because they get stupider.
So you go dementia.
That's how you remember it.
Dementia.
I was with a
Northern Irish comic
who said
waz
you must have had
a bag of waz
I was like
you mean whiz
he was like
are you mocking my accent
don't even pretend
that's an accent thing
you just got the drug wrong
whiz
you would just be
the grandad
what's called whiz
whiz
speed
oh
oh that's right I didn't I didn't fucking buy my drugs from Narnia I've just been a grandad. What's it called? Whiz? Whiz. Speed. Oh. Oh, sorry.
I didn't fucking buy my drugs from Narnia.
Can I get a little bag of Whiz, please?
Oh, yeah.
Here it comes.
Little pink fucking little glittery bags of shit.
Did you not know Speed was called Whiz?
I've not.
I don't think I've done...
Any time I've done Speed,
I only found out afterwards that I was doing Speed.
Like, I've never... I've never gone, Oh, Speed, count me in. I've done Speed. Speed was probably the first drug I'd done any time I've done Speed I only found out afterwards that I was doing Speed like I've never I've never gone
oh Speed count me in
I've done Speed
Speed was probably
the first drug I'd done
apart from weed
I'd done it in a
Thin Lizzy tribute band
Limehouse Lizzy
they were very good
in a bike I meet
remember the 4X crew
I do remember the 4X
where we're throwing axes
I do
at the wall
at that fucking weed biker
tavern that they had
before they did all their charity work
and we had to do a real big reassessment of what we thought
bikers were
you wouldn't fuck with them but they also do a lot
for the community. Aye, I went in and hung out with these
bikers where they threw axes at the wall
told us about all the guys that they'd beaten up
and then we're like, anyway, any chance you lads
could perhaps donate some money to
a charity ride we're doing tomorrow just to give Christmas to all the homeless people in the area Aye, we're doing like an, any chance you lads could perhaps donate some money to a charity right towards the end of the month
just to give Christmas
to all the homeless people
in the area?
We're doing like an Easter egg hunt
with the kids.
Like, oh.
With these pussies?
Yeah.
Sorry, I thought you were bikers.
We are.
Okay.
Alright, those ones.
You've got tassels
on your bike there, mate.
So,
what was it?
Yeah, it was one of their do's
I was 16 years old
I went to the Golden Eagle
got home
had some whiz
Golden Eagle
that's the name of the pub
aye
that's a bit
Nazi
Golden Eagle
Golden Eagle
it's a bit
you can say it's America
and I'll agree with you
but I'll also tell you
that right now
America's also quite close to Nazi
but Golden Eagle
that's at the top of like
the fucking Roman standard bearers.
They were my derby team in pub football.
Oh, what was your...
I played for the Kitty Brewster.
The what?
The Kitty Brewster.
Oh, that, the name of another pub.
Aye.
Right.
And derby was...
Even though every game's a derby, it's local football.
Just when you were the lads on that team, quite well.
Aye, that's the other pub that's within a
fucking stone's throw
or sorry
a pint glass throw
at the other pub
and that's
so I take
and this was
it's an accent thing
I take this with
and the taxi arrived
I take one to the
nightclub
and you're like
fuck it I'll race you
day to day night
I'm kidding
really
there wasn't
there was
five of us
oh right
the taxi was
four seater
aye
oh yeah yeah
and that's one of the
very few laws
that people in your area
dare to
like
I know we've just
done drugs
and I know we're about
to go underage
to a fucking club
to two underage girls
but no no no
only
everyone got their seatbelts on
that is the one thing
we will stick to here
road safety
it's not to be fucked with
fuck the police
but traffic officers
no no
them I respect
yeah the only thing
that took us so long
getting there
was I looked both ways
when I crossed the road
and stuck to the green cross code
and listened to the singing hedgehog
for traffic safety
I remember that
king of the road that was that. Gang of the road.
That was the one.
Gang of the road.
And I ran to the nightclub, which is called BJ's.
Oh.
Like blowjobs.
Is that like one of the things where like fucking non-locals turn up,
foreigners turn up in the building?
It's called BJ's.
And you go, really, like none of us knew that here?
I get what you're saying. Like you think we're so stupid that we just named it BJ's that's like and you go really like none of us none of us knew that here like that
no
I get what you're saying
like you think
we're so stupid
that we just named it BJ's
but that's just you being a
we know what it's called
we know what it's called
people in this area
know what blowjobs are
from the age of six
let's not
let's not pretend
you came up here
from London
with your
hoity-toity
blousa attitudes
I'm still not done
with the Chinese man
suing his wife
for being ugly
he's called Mr Feng
I think
I guess
no he is
so he sued his
right
I mean
could
but on the other side
of things
could she
theoretically sue him
if he'd like
if she'd married him
because he was rich
and he then like
did a bad business deal
and then lost all that money
could she then
fucking sue him
for no longer being rich
because I would argue
that's the
he married her
for bullshit reasons
she married him
for bullshit reasons
oh so like you mean
if he didn't
if he had money
yeah if he had money
and then lost a bunch of money
in a bad business deal,
could she sue him?
Because she...
Well, maybe,
it depends how he loses the money.
I reckon if gambling
was the reason,
then aye.
Aye,
just sue it away.
I reckon if like,
drugs and prostitutes
were the reason,
then aye.
But you know,
if it was just because
of the credit crunch,
I probably couldn't
do it for that.
Right?
Like the same as he married her,
if she got disfigured by accident,
like someone threw acid in her face for any reason.
Aye, then he couldn't sue her then.
But the fact that she was an uncle to begin with.
Like maybe if he pretended to be a millionaire
and then turned out he wasn't,
then aye, she I should make love.
But that's the bit.
She didn't pretend to be hot.
Like he found her hot.
She didn't make that up.
Like, although it was a fake version of it.
Well, I don't even know if it was a fucking fake version
of being hot, right?
She got work done to make herself more appealing.
It wasn't like an illusion,
like an actual fucking illusion.
He saw her face,
he touched it,
he probably fucking came on the thing.
Like, he tested its durability.
And also, like...
Also, couldn't you then just sue
any fucking person in the world?
Like, outside of fucking George Clooney,
who gets more attractive as he gets older,
who could you not sue
for getting uglier?
And also, isn't appearance
subjective
well maybe she was so fucking ranted it wasn't
imagine that was the court case
like they're just being like look beauty is
subjective and just his closing statement
was holding up the baby
and the court went fair enough actually
that is
do you want to see the before photos
do you have the
I don't know because somebody
sent it in a
whatsapp conversation
and I click
on the screen cap
but they've actually
sent the link
and I can see that
in the link
there's the photo there
oh here we go
so now
this is
that's before
on the left
where she looks like
a male prisoner
oh yeah
and then on the on the right where she's like a male prisoner oh yeah and then on the
on the right where she
I mean yeah
I mean yeah
the plastic surgery
made her look better
here we go
the girl was so ugly
he refused to believe
his stunning wife
could have produced the child
he rounded on his partner
accusing her of having an affair
but she told him
the terrible truth
her good
god I fucking hate
everything to do
this isn't the male
but it is the male
er
her good looks reduced 63,000 pounds of plastic surgery and the baby was indeed theirs furious thing Fucking hate everything to do with this. This isn't the mail, but it is the mail.
Our good looks would do it.
£63,000 to £2,000 in plastic surgery and the baby was indeed theirs.
Furious Feng.
Great.
You fucking bigot.
Dugard to court claiming she'd tricked him into marriage and he won his lawsuit.
Here we go.
Feng said, this is his quote.
I married my wife out of love, but as soon as we had our first daughter we began having marital issues her daughter was incredibly ugly
to the point where
it horrified me
Jesus fuck
apparently that was
apparently Natalie's
brother was
a baby
aye
and Natalie's dad
didn't want any
photos of him
because he was
an ugly kid
I didn't take a
photo of him
well now
and now his walls
must be chock-a-block
with pictures of Alex
aye
handsome boy knew he was an absolute miracle baby aye And now his walls must be chock-a-block with pictures of Alex. Aye. Handsome boy.
Now he's an absolute miracle baby.
Aye.
I was a cute kid.
For a bit.
Aye.
Nah.
Nah.
Nah.
I tried to wank over the photos, couldn't.
Nah.
Not for you.
Nah.
Well, I think...
I know, I know, I know...
You were pretty cute dressed as Harry Potter.
I've got that photo there
when nobody else was
I was cute
probably like my 20s
probably like for the age of 21
and now
I'm getting less cute though
how much harder
do you reckon it is
to love
love an uglier kid
because I know
you've got all these
powerful fucking
genes inside you
like
women get this thing
which just make you
biologically love your kid
and as a
as a dad
like that's why
babies look like us
so that we don't get
jealous of them
so like our own
narcissism makes us
love them
but
a dad there's only surely there's only so much
so much
DNA can do before you
look at each other and go that's just a fucking
rancid kid
and how do you love them?
In a way I feel like
I'd be pleased that the kid has to
do more as a human
to be accepted than just exist.
Like, I feel like...
Like, the first 10 years are going to be rough.
The first 25 years are going to be rough,
but it's going to be really, like,
it's going to be good forging of a very strong blade in his 20s.
Yeah, you're going to rely more on your aptitude.
You're going to rely more on your humour.
You're going to rely more on your athleticism. You're going to have to lean more on your aptitude, you're going to rely more on your humour, you're going to rely more on your
athleticism, you're going to have to lean
more on other things than
just being accepted by a society that's going to
look at you and go, ew.
It does
make you do more.
And fine, fine, fine, I agree
with you, but the time the kid is 20
I'll probably love it more.
When it's all smart and rich and what not I know we've both got friends
who we'll obviously not name
who have rancid children
you're gonna think
it's just happened too many times where you're gonna think
your kids are good looking kids regardless
of how hideous they are
because I've seen it on too many occasions
where I'm like oh
will you believe this
I better play along oh yeah
how cute
I've got friends
one of the
reasons I like to go on social media
because I don't like that part of myself
I don't like the part of myself
that looks at a kid and goes that's a fucking ugly kid but to be fair that part of me doesn't exist until you force
a picture of your child on me and maybe go ah but i'm doing that to myself by being on the fucking
social media like i wouldn't have that reaction in the well no that's not true if i see an ugly
kid in the wild i'll i'll think it to myself i'm not blind i'll be like that's a fucking i'll still
be nice to it it doesn't change
my treatment of the child
because it's not a person yet
if it's an ugly person
I'll treat it like shit
it's just if someone
tries to tell you
the kid's cute
and you have to go
oh I can't argue with you
you haven't put us
in this position
for fuck's sake
like the kid's cuteness
mid-note
it didn't even
register
on your radar
until you pointed out
something that wasn't
it's like you point at your
kid and go
look he's got
three arms and
you go yay
he does have
three arms
doesn't he
boy.
What the fuck
he's got two
arms.
Can you not
bring me into
another lie.
Why am I
living a lie.
Your kid's
athletic your
kid's smart your
kid's funny your
kid's whatever I'll
join in with any
of those but
don't don't make me lie
to your ugly kid's face
you know
when
your brain produces oxytocin
to make you
love this kid
to stop you
wanting to eat it
because you're still
a primal animal
if you boil it down
to the fact
you're a bag of chemicals
to stop you eating it
but some people's babies
are so ugly
they put you off
your appetite anyway
you need the oxytocin
I'm not going to
eat that
I'm not going to
eat that
no amount of
ketchup
I'd probably be able
to swallow it down
but then I'd throw
it back up
and you know what
in fact you know
I might as well try
because throwing it
back up
chewing it down
then throwing this
baby back up
might actually make
it look good
because I feel like
you made it in the
wrong direction
all it is missing
is to be deteriorated
reformed via my belly
and then produced back into the fucking world
do you reckon you can turn down
like if you're adopting kids
could you turn a kid
no no do they show pictures of the kids
I don't think people are going to adopt
if they're that
they're nicer than you man
like they're not going to if you've got that in you you're not the than you man like they're not gonna
if you've got that in you
you're not the type to adopt
like you're a narcissist
aye
I don't think people
that are going to adopt
well to be fair
one thing people
that are going to adopt
do often specify
which puts them back
down the queue
is that the baby's young young
like they want it
like fresh ripe
straight off the tree
straight off the stalk
the one
well they're like
people that don't
adopt animals
and by the way
in the future
when me and Cara
buy dog
puppies and kittens
I promise you
we will tell people
that they're adopted
and rescued
that's a lie
I'm gonna
whether it's true
whether it's true or not
I'm telling you this
for the rest of my fucking life
I'm going to tell no matter where I got any pet from I'm just gonna tell people it's true whether it's true or not I'm telling you this for the rest of my fucking life I'm going to tell
no matter where I got
any pet from
I'm just going to tell people
it's rescued
because it's not worth
it's not worth
a discussion outside of it
the amount of people
who just
did you rescue it
you go no
and they go oh
I didn't want a fucking
used dog
is that a thing
oh yeah man
people get all
howdy-tighty
if you don't rescue a dog
100% yes
it's certainly
more so in
oh no
definitely in this country
you're a judgmental cunt
well because
breeding
is a shite
like if you
if you're just breeding
fucking cats and dogs
and especially
bad breeders
right
you're making
you know how pugs
are an abomination
oh yeah
right
that's because of breeders
right
so what they want to do
is you shouldn't
encourage people
who can't breed animals.
Also, if you're listening to this and you have a pug
and you keep telling people that it's cute,
you're the person with the ugly baby.
Aye.
Pugs are literal biological abominations.
They can't breathe, they can't walk,
they can't bend their fucking...
I'm sure it loves you, I'm sure it has characters.
Don't pretend it's cute.
Aye, but they should all die
and they shouldn't exist and they shouldn't exist
and they shouldn't be bred
right
they're
little abominational creatures
they're great
like I love them
I love dogs
but every time
every time a pug dies
God sighs a breath of relief
he's like
oh thank God
they've stopped trying to create
are you suggesting a pug genocide
no no
I'm just saying
no no no
I have a same stance towards pugs
that I have to most human beings, right?
I wouldn't kill one, but I'm not sad when it dies.
Poor.
The poor little soul didn't have to be brought to this world.
It didn't, exactly.
Didn't have to be paraded around in a stupid little jacket.
Exactly.
Didn't have to be, the fort is pushed upon people.
Right.
So people go, like people in order to stop breeding
and stop fucking bad breeding
in the same way that there's plenty of animals
out there in the world that could do with fluff
you just go and rescue one
but the reason I'm sceptical about it
I'm like I'll rescue some
animals but some of them
just come with 8 years of trauma
with them
so you're just going to pretend you've
rescued a dog
yep
for the rest of my
fucking life
when you have children
are you going to
pretend they're adopters
yeah
just to them
yeah yeah
just to them
nobody else
everyone else will be like
they're genuinely ours
they don't know that yet
I just think it's
it gives them more character
if they think they're not
from here
em
I was
I was wondering
if I'd get a dog the other day I was I'd be rocking a chair just chilling in the kitchen and I was wondering if I'd get a dog the other day
I was
on my rocking chair
just chilling in the kitchen
and I was like
how would I feel
if a little doggy
come running through there
don't get a little one
if I could hear it's paws
just tip tapping on there
I think
I'm buying new as well
aye
aye
but like
aye
but make sure that when you do
even when you do get a dog,
and I've noticed this,
and it's the fucking area I live in, right?
Very few people in this area.
So many good dog walks.
So many good dog walks.
So very few people here actually have real dogs.
There's a lot of fucking,
there's a lot of cat dogs in this area.
Aye.
There's a lot.
If I can, not that I would,
but if I can kick your dog over a fence, it's not a dog. It's a small look if I can not that I would but if I can kick your dog
over a fence
it's not a dog
it's a small rodent
right
and I'm not
I'm not like a
fucking field goal taker
like in American football
I'm not a kick taker
but
the size of a dog
is fucking important
German Shepherd
is a good fucking size
of a dog
a real actual
fucking dog
one that
when it gets up
the reason it's not allowed
on the sofa is because when it's on the fucking sofa it gets up the reason it's not allowed on the sofa
is because when it's
on the fucking sofa
it takes up the sofa
and you're like
alright you get off
it's a proper companion
of German Shepherd
as well
a real
yeah
and it was
that's a dog
from the history of
hey we're building
fucking companionship
here before
you know
back when animals
were used for hunting
as opposed to
can I carry this
in a fucking handbag
for a bit please
yeah I really don't
want a cuddly toy as a dog.
However, there is one dog
that I saw in the movie
which name I forgot
with rock star Lady Gaga
and movie star
Bradley, Star is Born.
Oh, what a film. What's the dog
in that? It's actually a
golden doodle, a golden
retriever slash poodle
and it's a
fucking excellent dog
and I was gutted
that it had doodle
in its name
Aye
Aye
The golden doodle
Aye
Excellent dog
shit name
I didn't want to
I didn't want to be
I didn't want to be
saying doodle
at any point
when I'm telling people
what kind of dog
I've got
That one
Aye
That's lush isn't it
Because that's like
that's like a
cuddly toy
but also a companion
it's got it all
it's got it all
just
I just
I just need a dog
I think a dog
should always be
for Christmas
just for Christmas
and only then
sandwiches on boxers
I just think
I should be scared of
Don't be a little bit scared
Of somebody else's dog
Right
The difference should be
The reason you're not
The reason you're not scared
Of my dog
Is because I've trained my dog
And that's it
That's it
Aye aye
But if I tell it
But if I tell it
You're over
Aye aye
I'm carrying a knife
That's why I think
Because
I mean that's when size
Comes into it
Because staffies are fucking I love staffies I'm bulldogs I think they I mean that's when size comes into it because staffies are
fucking
I love staffies
I'm bulldogs
I think they're great
as long as they're not
you know
raised by neds or chavs
then they're fucking
great dogs
just little fucking
muscle real things
but that
see this is where
because that's what
I was asking
so I'm in my rocking chair
I'm content
I've got absolute contentment
right
and I was like how would I feel now with this dog i just heard the
pause come doing the hall i'm like he has me buddy all right i was like i think i'd like that but
this is another thing that's across my main is i don't need companionship right in a way i like i've
realized because i've um i've been working on my houston natalie's parents have been coming running
stuff that right and they're helping us so I've like Natalie lived with them
fuck whatever
we're bursting a bubble
that's what I'll really do
they're helping us
paint and stuff
and I find myself
just yearning
for a bit of time
where it's just me
not for like
Natalie's parents
to get Natalie
to finish work
because my time
with Natalie
is different
I still love that time
I cherish that time
but it's with someone else
and then when I'm
through the day
I'm with Natalie's dad
painting that and I'm like oh where's the pocket in and then when I'm through the day I'm with Natalie's dad painting that
and I'm like
oh where's the pocket
in this day
where I'm on my own
and there isn't one
aye
I think it's what we miss
from touring
aha
because even though
we're together
for a lot of the tour
we're not
like we've got
our headphones on
we're in our iPads
no one's bothering
we're playing on our phones
we've got that time
where it's just
you on your own
aye
with your own thoughts
which is in a way like
I really enjoy
just the drive down here
Aye
just fucking listening to
Just aye
put an audio book on
drive at like
half the speed limit
having a great time
Aye
Would a dog
puncture that bubble
No
or would that dog
sit in that bubble of you being on your own with you?
No, first of all, it depends on the fucking type of dog.
You get any dog under the size of Bulldog.
And I'm sorry to do generalisations here, but small dogs are shite.
And I don't mean they're shite.
Like, I love all dogs.
But now in the conversation of dogs, there are shite dogs and good dogs. Now, I love all dogs but now in the conversation of dogs there are shite dogs
and good dogs
now I love all dogs
fortunately
but
shite dogs are small
shite fucking
those are the ones
that are way more
fucking needy
jump up on you
don't understand
fucking boundaries
because they're just
they're rats
that are pick upable
so it's so much easier
a lot of them seem like
toddlers that have just
got boundless energy
and just run around
and put fucking crayons
on the wall right
whereas if you get I want one that's just like aless energy and just run around and put fucking crayons on the wall, right? Whereas if you get one...
I want one that's just like a stoner pal, man.
You know what?
Would you write anything for me?
Rescue a dog that's in its
twilight years. Well, there you go.
That's the vet bills, isn't it?
It is the vet bills. And the morning every
three years. The one thing I wanted to
do, and Cara was devastated
I found out about this because this is
the opposite
of what she'd want
you know guide dogs
have a retirement age
right
right they've got
they've just got
where's their eyes
starting to go
well I think
just in general
they're like
they need a guide person
they think they paid forward
for all of their life
and then you
and we're like
just at the end
we'll give you a new one
I think basically
at the age of 10
they're like dogs start deteriorating at this point and we're obviously i'm just at the end we'll give you a new one i think basically like at the age of 10 they're like dogs start to tear you right at this point and we're obviously
not going to do frequent checkups on the dog so at this point we'll just retire them so they don't
walk out into traffic with a human being attached to them but man that's like so the guide dogs have
to go fucking somewhere there's no better trained dog in the world than a guide dog so there's these
shelters you go can you please can you please adopt a a guide dog so there's these shelters you go
can you please
can you please adopt
a retired guide dog
and I'll just
absolutely
it's coming with you
to live out the remainder
of its years
which could be anything
from fucking one to eight years
depending how long they live
so yeah
you'll be going through
a lot of you know
deaths
and dealing with it
but man
a ready made
good dog
ten fucking years old
doesn't bite
doesn't bark
he's a good boy
he's a good boy
guy
there's a fucking
retirement home
of good boys
those are the ones
that need rescued
I think I'm going to
get myself a good boy
I'm not sure
because I've never been
in a position
where I could get a dog
because when I
when I live
obviously live with my parents
I've never had a dog
with them
because my mum's allergic to them and then when I moved out I've been in flats and I've been vagab my parents I never had a dog with them because my mum's allergic to them
and then when I moved out
I've been in flats
and I've been vagabond
and I've been like
fucking moving around
this is where I'm like
I've actually got a base now
it's like
it's nice
it's a nice size
there's good walks in the area
it's a consideration
I mean
Natalie's hearing about this conversation
for the first time
when she listens to this
but it has crossed my mind
like
it makes me nice
she's also spoken
she wants a dog
she's spoken to people
about a dog
so I think
I think they're both
fine there
also I think
the other advantage
of a fucking dog
one of the many advantages
is it
there's
yeah I mean
you have to go
on at least one walk a day
like you just
you have to
like it's an
it kind of stops
you being a little bit
it stops a bit
of your laziness at any sort of moment where you're like I can't be arsed today you go doesn't matter I physically fucking have to like it's an instant it kind of stops you being a little bit it stops a bit of your laziness
at any sort of moment
you'd be like
I can't be arsed today
you go
doesn't matter
I physically fucking have to
right
are the times of the walks
at your
discretion
or do you have to
fucking routine it
like it's a baby
and go right
you've got to have a walk
at three
and a walk at nine
once again
depends on when you get the dog
can I just go
ah fuck it
let's go for a walk now
aye most of the time you can and then if it needs to be it's just laying in the back garden. Can I just go, ah, fuck it, let's go for a walk now?
Aye, most of the time you can.
And then if it needs to piss, just let it in the back garden.
But you can take, you know, as long as it's,
you let it out to piss when everyone wants to piss or shit,
and then you can take it for a walk.
But the dog will start learning times and go,
right, this is normally the fucking time that you,
you know the Pavlov's dog thing?
That comes from dogs.
No way. Pavlov's dog thing was every time he, Rings the bell. dogs no way every
Pavlov's dog
thing was
every time he
rings the bell
yeah every time
he fed the dog
he would ring a bell
and then
whenever he would
ring the bell
normally
whenever he would
ring the bell
the dog would
start salivating
because it then
associated the
fucking thing
the bell
it's getting it
spit ready to eat
yeah because it's
all getting all
excited and that's
Pavlovian responses
I also found out
this is slightly
fucking related to it
right
but you know how sharks
are dogs of the sea
right
you don't think they're dog fish
dog sharks
I found out
you know sharks
captivity sharks
like the ones that you
fucking see
in the
the underground water tunnels
that you go through
at sea life centres
and what not
I was always
like you know people go scuba diving in those you can go swimming with the sharks there i'm like
even then even no matter how well fed they are i'm still not fucking getting into a thing with a
shark because you know you never know they could just lash out at any moment attack you
apparently that's not the case at all like sharks, sharks, when they're born in captivity, when they're fed meat,
they're fed, like, meat on a picture,
like a yellow star, right?
So the only thing they actually associate with food
is a fucking yellow star.
They've never even registered
that meat comes from other fucking fish.
It just comes from this fucking star.
So in captivity, you're absolutely fine
unless, you know, you're Captain America,
just wearing one on your chest
you just turn up
for your shark diving
and be like
hey I found this starfish wetsuit
I'm just a big
oh god
they're all coming
you could do that
maybe with your dog
train it to
only eat
because you know
I like to say
if I go for a walk
at 8 o'clock every morning
aye
right
have the walk
pick up my shit
throw it in the neighbour's garden
aye
as you do
what if I like
get fucking wasted
and get up at 3
and wake up at 11
can you do that anymore
aye
can I get up at 11
and go
right let's go for a walk
at 11
will my dog be like
mate you're 4 hours late
I've shut all the way
out of your kitchen
depends on your dog
depends on how well
you train it
aye aye like aye aye and it's obviously harder when it's a puppy because like I've shat all the way out of your kitchen depends on your dog depends on how well you train it aye
aye
and it's obviously
harder when it's a puppy
because like
that's
I'm not even asked
to be picking up shit
some people use bags
try me at Pockets
man
I don't
I don't
whenever my dog shits
I just smush it
into the ground
like it's a cigarette
it takes ages
but fuck me
do I get it done
I was in the car
on a mini tour
and you had a podcast on
Bill Bear podcast
I believe
and he had
like I took my headphones off
to I don't know
like fucking
look at my phone
or something
and I heard a bit
where it was
Mark Rappaport
Michael Rappaport
Michael Rappaport
who was in True Romance
talking about how
he doesn't pick up
the dog's shit
and people look at him
and shout at him
and go
you've been meant to
pick that up
and he's just like
so
and his whole attitude is
I'm aware I look like a dick
I'm aware that some people
are going to go
hey that's Michael Rappaport
I know who he is
I'm going to spread the word
that he's an asshole
and all that
and he's like
oh I'm at peace with that
I'm just going to be
that dickhead
just not to pick up shit
and
I can't respect it
I
I
I can't respect it
like
the way he pitched it
wasn't as if you are
well fair folks
I'm like
I'm like no no
this is the trade off
I now also think
you're a dickhead
and everybody that
hears this story
whether it's from your mouth or anybody else's,
you're a fucking litterbug.
You are a fucking litterbug.
But it's also...
The best kind.
But it's such a...
And I know this isn't a uniquely American attitude,
but it's the...
It's one maybe I often unfairly associate with the Americans.
Yeah, and what?
And you go, no, no, no no but there should be morals involved
in things now there should be some sort of
yeah but it doesn't bother me so fuck everyone else
and you go yes but can we look at
the larger picture is it
more LA
could be more LA maybe that's what I'm doing
there's a sense of like hierarchy and
entitlement to people and everybody thinks
they're something bigger than they are.
I don't think it's just LA.
I mean, and it's not just America.
These bastards exist all over.
But they're certainly more frequent in LA.
I think the hierarchy thing is interesting.
They're just attracted to LA.
They might not all be from LA these times,
but they're drawn to LA
because LA has got something that appeals to them.
And also that's their
that's their fucking punishment
is they're all on a
they're all on a fault line
they'll all be dead
within the next 10 years
wooden houses on a fault line
I think we discussed this
quite a bit
we have
I still find it
fucking fascinating man
like the
actually makes sense
because these are just rebuild
if you spend a whole time
building your house with bricks
and then it just gets rumbled
anyway and you get oh for fuck's sake the whole eight billion years with bricks and then it just gets rumbled anyway and you get
oh for fuck's sake
is the age to build
with bricks
alright alright
but right
but you know
you know
the countries have things
like you know
the fucking pyramids
in America
has none of them
that's because we
built it out of stone
and that's not true
that's just
it's a young country
well I mean
it's a young western country
it's a young western country it's a young western country
but in South America
there was plenty and plenty
of fucking pyramids
that's where all the
stupid conspiracy theories
come out
how come
how come there's pyramids
in this part of South America
and there's pyramids
in this part of Egypt
and there's pyramids
in this part of this
all built around
about the same time
you go
because those are buildings
that do well over time
triangles have got good
structural integrity
wherever you're going
aye
wherever you're from
whichever corner of the universe
actually
it's just
it's a very
it's very basic
physics and understanding of
it's not even
yeah physics
mathematics
mathematics to do with
fucking shapes
my
erm
erm aye so I've I've I mean I mean no no I
so I've
I mean no no
we don't have to
don't feel you have to put this in
this is the Covid silence
that exists
that exists in conversations now
and it's hard to do when you're podcasting
because in everyday conversation everyone
understands what it is
you're just talking to in everyday conversation, everyone understands what it is.
You're just talking to someone, right?
What are your mates?
And you've said, hey, how are you?
You've updated each other in the last month of your life,
year of your life.
It's all the fucking same.
And then you just go, well, that's nothing.
I did that when I walked in.
Like, how are you?
And I was like, I've got no new opinions I've got no
I haven't read any
news
I've painted walls
I'm on my
fifth room
of painting
of eh
and I just
I just don't have
anything hard
to the world
no
I've read a book
I'm enjoying
reading
finished
I'm fucking
chewing through
books
and I'm so eh I didn't realise Kindle
and Amazon
and I know capitalism is shit
and we should all fucking hate it but occasionally
they do good and I'm a big fan of it
the bookmark
the bookmark thing was already a wonderful feature
I would discuss this if you bookmark your book
it also updates your audiobook
if you have both
so if you've got both the audiobook and the Kindle book,
if you read up to a certain bit...
And then realise you've got to drive.
Yeah, it'll automatically go to the same position,
which is already fucking brilliant.
Now, I was using all my credits to buy these books stupidly,
not realising that Kindle also do
another fucking great deal which is
it's called like fucking Whisper something
if you buy any book and they have an audiobook
on it you instantly get a fucking discount
on the audiobook of it so you're not paying full price
I've been busy using my fucking
free tokens on the audiobook
and it was only today when I was downloading the
Oathbringer which is the
next Brandon Sanderson one
and they were like oh you can get this one for £2.99
and I'm like oh fucking wonderful
because we discussed that
on it which is I understand why you have to pay more
well you have to pay, you can't just buy a book
and then get the audiobook for free
because it's two entirely separate things
yeah it's a different production
there's the guy that wrote the fucking book and those people
the voice actor of the production Yeah, it's a different production. There's the guy that wrote the fucking book and those people and then there's the people. The voice actor
and the production team. Aye.
So it's... A good voice actor
makes an audiobook, man.
Lies of Locke Lamora, once again, thanks to
I know I've spoken about this constantly, but
thanks to Gareth Waugh for it
and obviously Sid and Rooney for all their
nerdy suggestions, which is probably where Gareth got it
from anyway. But the voice
guy in
The Lies
of Locke Lamora it's the first time
I've ever gone oh now
I okay now I can listen to fucking
audiobooks
also but I do
I've got to turn up
the speed a bit
yeah I've got it on 1.3 or whatever
yeah 1.25 and it's
weird because in this one there's like there's a girl in it as well so they've got a woman 1.3 or whatever. Yeah, 1.25. And it's weird, because in this one,
there's a girl in it as well.
So they get a woman to do the girl voices.
And it's just,
I was like,
why the fuck does she sound so fucking weird?
There was a certain word she just said sounded so fucking wrong.
Different between whiz and whaz.
You go, that's not a fucking tonal thing.
That's not an accent.
Why is this woman saying words?
And then I realised,
because the speed was fast. Have you ever put it back down to one now, how slow it feels? You go, that's not a fucking tonal thing. That's not an accent. Why is this woman saying words? And then I realised because it was... The speed.
The speed was fast.
Have you ever put it back down to one now,
how slow it feels?
It feels so sluggish at the regular pace now.
That said, normally in the first 15 minutes
of a start and I read the audiobook,
I have to rewind it a lot.
Aye.
It takes us a while before my brain just locks in.
Every now and again, my brain will just wheel spin
I'll lose about
a minute of the book
and then I'll end up
rewinding it like
too far
and I'm like
oh I've heard this bit
and if you've heard the bit
you're more inclined
to drift off again
aye
because you're like
alright I'll tune back in
when it's the bit
and I end up
sometimes I'll have to rewind
to listen to the same bit
like three times
and I start getting frustrated
but I persevere
every time I persevere but it's
fucking, that's the
head fucker audiobooks, you can't just
flick back the page or like
move your eyes to the other part
you've got to physically do something
to, it'd be good if
I mean once they connect
all of our bodies up to technology
which Elon Musk is apparently doing
you just look left and it'll rewind
for you and you look right
and it'll fast forward for you and sure
they're scanning your brains and they're learning all your secrets
but you don't have to go into your back pocket
anymore
there's buttons on the steering wheel for it
I'm just driving I've pressed the button on my steering wheel
it goes back 30 seconds
oh speaking of cars mine's fixed
yes why have we never talked about this this is like a 4 week old story and we're like oh 30 seconds. Oh, speaking of cars, mine's fixed. Yes, why have we never talked about this?
This is like a four week old story.
And we're like,
oh, we've run out of conversation.
We've got COVID silences.
Your car got eaten by squirrels?
Aye, it did.
Aye, aye.
So...
Not in China,
a car got eaten by squirrels.
Not in America,
a car got... In thiss no not in America a car got in this very house
your car
was eaten by squirrels
was eaten by squirrels
top to bottom
none of it left
end of story
yep
come back next week
the
so
I'd driven down
to do
Graham Norton
and
and his show
and his show
well that's why I got on the show
at that point I didn't know whether I's why I got on the show at that point
I didn't know whether I was going to be on the show
I didn't know how well I was going to do
see this is how old the story is
and we haven't told it
aye
it's fucking amazing
so we drive down
and
the car had been acting up
for a couple of weeks before
you remember before going up to
before going up to
the Inverness gig
yes
I was losing my fucking mind
because the car
oh yes because the beep in with the as if you had your seatbelt off ah yeah yeah you're like I was losing my fucking mind because the car oh yes
because the beeping
with the
as if you had your seatbelt off
ah yeah yeah
you're like I've got my seatbelt on
ah
and I was losing my fucking
because if there's
if you ever want to torture me
right
don't bother with knives
don't bother with water torture
don't bother with anything
fucking physical
if you ever need to torch me
put me near something
that beeps
and I can't turn it off
and I will kill
myself in under five minutes i cannot fucking stand beeping i don't know i don't know what
happened to me when i was younger like whether i was fucking raped by r2d2 or whether i was forced
to sleep through a fucking fire alarm but like your washing machine is needy man oh man it's i
i fucking scream at inanimate objects if they beep too much.
Like our microwave has a fucking three beep system,
which enrages me.
Because there should be two beeps.
It's over, beep, beep, there you go, done.
It says, beep, beep.
Like a Nokia text.
Beep, you go, shut the fuck up, got it?
Aye.
So the car's beeping, it's not letting me Fucking drive it
And I've got
My favourite thing
You know if someone's
In the front seat of their car
They're riding shotgun
And it's beeping
Because they haven't got
Their belt on
I never tell them
To put their belt on
I say
Grab the handle
And just lift your weight
Off the seat
So it was
So it was fucking up then
And I was getting
Very annoyed
It's an expensive car
It's an expensive car it's an expensive car
it's a luxury car
it's not feeling
too luxurious right now
it's a Tesla
fucking model
and I'm fucking raging
because I go
this should work
100% of the time
all the fucking time
because that's what
I fucking paid for
going down to
London
the problems come
every week or so
I'm like
just don't fucking do it
before this trip to London
we drive down
halfway down it's like you need some coolant system and I'm like just don't fucking do it before this trip to London we drive down half way down

yeah I guess
anyway
we've got your car here
and I'm like
oh this is going terribly already
she was very nice after
and
I'm like
how come you've never
heard that before
how can you answer
the phone every day
aye
it's Nicole at Tesla
and I'm the fucking first person
to make a Nicola Tesla joke
it's what your company's
named after
it's not a coincidence
it's not like Elon Musk pulled that name out of his fucking arse
he named it after
Nicola Tesla
either that or she's heard that joke every
fucking day and I'm just not the first
that's probably more likely.
Anyway, she goes,
she goes, we found the problem with your car.
I'm like, all right.
You know, it's a technical fucking fault.
And she goes,
a group, a nest of rodents,
we don't know which,
has chewed through all the wires in the front.
And I'm like, what?
And she sent through the photos.
And I'm,
there's no light.
This is rat or squirrel teeth chewing through wires.
There's little fucking jobbies.
Little dogs and fucking shit.
Little dogs.
On the inside of my fucking supercar car, right?
So I'm laughing down the phone
instead of going,
how is,
how has this happened?
What do you mean they live inside of my,
why were they building
a nest
did you start feeling like
you know how
when you're on tour
and something's like
crisp packets
and fucking
gangsters
pie wrappers
and all that are there
are you like
oh I've a course of
rat infestation
I'm that much of a slob
did that cross your mind
yes because
she was
she was
she goes
she goes
we found a bit of bacon
from a sandwich
underneath one of the seats just in the photos she goes maybe this was found a bit of bacon from a sandwich underneath one of the seats
just in the photos
she goes
maybe this was
luring them in
I go
well I can't get
I can't
yeah yeah
but that was like
that was like
in the car itself
in the bit that you're sitting
not in the car
so I wasn't
I wasn't believing that as much
and I was like
you know what
there's proof
they've got the rats in there
so I phone up
fucking Churchill right and this is you know how I fucking hate companies and i hate phoning fucking people
right i have to give a hundred percent fucking props to churchill car insurance here i phone
them up and i go i have no idea if you're going to cover this right but rats have chewed through
the wires in my tesla and the woman's like, what?
I was like, yep.
I think it's because when the car's charging,
the battery's warm.
So during the winter months,
and we're getting some cunt next door
has destroyed a building,
cut down a bunch of trees.
Yeah, because there's a building site there,
they've cut down 13 trees.
One of them, his roots were in your garden
and nearly pulled your fucking garden fence down.
So you've already had trouble with him.
The bastards fucking next door,
they've made several thousand squirrels
fucking homeless at this point.
They found a nice warm retreat in your charging car.
In my charging car.
And I go, is there any chance my insurance covers this?
And she goes, I mean, I don't think so, but I'll check.
Like it's not a car crash.
It's a little small print about squirrels. Aye, and it's written by them. And they're like, it's like it's not a car crash it's a little small print
about squirrels
aye
and it's written by them
and they're like
it's totally fine
charge the cunts
I wonder if there's
like an added paragraph
to the terms now
because of you
well I hope
I hope not
right
so she goes
she phones up
I phoned her back up
a bit early
and she goes
yeah we'll cover it
and I went
really
she goes
yeah you have to pay the excess
but you know we'll pay for and I went really? she goes yeah you have to pay the excess but
you know
we'll pay for it
so they go away
and they fucking
get in contact with Tesla
they start fixing it
week passes
phone rings
hi Daniel
it's Nicola Tesla
do you reckon he was
serving you recreation?
doesn't matter
doesn't matter
the joke's
I know you don't like it
the airport's creation
she goes
we found more
they fixed the front of the car goes we found more they fixed the front
of the car
more squirrels
more yeah
another nest
at the fucking back
in the back
beside the
because there's
like had evidence
of them
or they found
the squirrels
oh no
more evidence
of them
right
less exciting
less exciting
but with food
and we'd found
all of our fucking Christmas leftovers,
which I know had been put in,
we've got our fucking leftover bin.
And whenever it gets knocked over,
I assume it's just knocked over
by the fucking wind or something.
Right?
But it's not.
So clearly fucking squirrels have broken in.
Because I'm like,
those are the roast potatoes I made at fucking Christmas
in the back of my fucking tent.
So they've took your Christmas dinner?
Into your fucking car, yes! Having a fucking lovely wee Christmas back of my fucking tent so they've took your Christmas dinner into your fucking car yes
having a fucking
lovely wee Christmas dinner
on the fucking inside
this is like a Disney story
so it's another
it's another
you're the bad guy
in a Disney story
it's another
four and a half grand
of damage in the back
right
so I'm like
oh my fucking god
like there's no way
Churchill's gonna fucking
like they've just
covered this
two grand damage
which they were already like we'll cover it this once but don't be you're like there's no way Churchill's going to fucking like they've just covered this two grand damage which they were already
like we'll cover it
this once
but don't be
you're like
there's more squirrels
Churchill
I phone Churchill up
I go there's more squirrels
right
it's not even the same woman
it's a different woman
she's laughing down the phone
and she goes
yeah we'll cover it
and I'm like
like mid pandemic
like I'm going
really
she's like yeah yeah it'm going really she's like
yeah yeah
it's all covered
she goes
we'll not add this
to your
no claims
discounts
not ruined
because this isn't a crash
it's not your fault
nothing you've done
just
it's on the same excess
it's on the same fucking excess
double jeopardy on the excess
no no
same fucking excess
so they've
pretty much
had to fucking
rebuild your entire car.
Because fucking dirt a lot of squirrels.
Because of squirrels.
And is this just like a fucking one in a million thing?
Or if Tesla are going to go, right, we're going to have to put maybe a mesh up there or a grill that we can't get in.
That's what I fucking said to them.
I'm like, is there any way we can stop squirrels getting...
Because this isn't going to not happen anymore.
Because this is a...
When it snowed and your car had been taken away,
it was already gone and it snowed,
I saw squirrel footprints leading up to my car
and my arse dropped.
I was like, oh, no.
Oh, that day in the road.
This is an expensive...
They're like, okay, well, this one's an Audi,
but it's...
No, no, no, come on.
I know it's a bit of a step down,
but it's still nice.
It's new. You know, like that new, that fake no, no, come on. I know it's a bit of a step down, but it's still nice. It's new.
You know, like that new,
that fake new car smell, the one.
I think it's great.
And if Cara's put the light,
it's not Schitt's Creek.
Yeah, come on.
They're like, we're not that bad.
I would rather sleep in the fucking cold.
I'd sleep in a fucking Skoda
before I slept in that piece of shit.
Now, the word up to caras as well but cara
pointing out that um because ours aren't electric cars they're more compact with the way everything's
fitted into the car there's not really anywhere to get in or anywhere to live once you got in there
so they just come and show the disinterest in ours is what happened but we always nice warm
it's right beside leftover pins so I was like
what do I do
she's like you can
just find people in
the area that will
fucking kill the
rats or squirrels
for you or
and I'm like well
Cara would never
allow that to happen
so I've got to go
find some cruelty
free way
so you get
there's this frequency
that they can't hear
like a supersonic
fucking pitch
it's just like a
little fire alarm
and I've just stuck that
on the underside of the Tesla
but part of me
does just feel like
good
part of me wants to just
get in contact with
Elon Musk and go
hey man
this is quite an expensive
fucking thing
for somebody who is
so engaged with like
putting computer games
onto the car
making this as good as possible
there's a whoopee cushion
on my car
but like
there's no scroll defence
there's a fucking whoopee cushion on my car but like there's no scroll defence there's a fucking
whoopee cushion
on my car
laser beams man
aye
like just
I'm not complaining now
but just for future
could you just put
while the car's in park
have this ultra high frequency
which you could just have
on all your cars
and put that in
but the one thing
holding me back
is not
never in my fucking life
will I be the type of man
that tweets Elon Musk
I can't be that
I can't be that incel man
people do
and he's been
before got the Musk
not on Twitter
it's a direct line of contact
it's a fucking gamble man
and also apparently he does
like the Tesla guys were like
you know
when I first got the car
they were like
go on the Tesla forums be be part of the community.
And I was like, no.
No, no, no, no.
Did you not even attempt to go on there and see if there was anybody with scroll problems?
No, no.
Did you even Google it and did it not even try and take you to a forum
that you had to actively avoid?
No, I didn't Google any of it.
I just accepted fate as what it was.
Here's a question.
no I didn't google any of it I just accepted
fate as what it was
here's a question
you drove to London
and there was more damage
on your way back
than there was on the way there
did you take a squirrel
and his family to London
we don't know
you might have took them
on a little holiday
we might have done
drinking the Scottish squirrels
going around London
just fucking
bossing the joint
well I reckon
yeah yeah
but I reckon they came back
to the car
they were like fucking
night out in London
came back two days later and the Tesla's car they were like fucking night out in London came back two days later
and the Tesla's gone
and they're like
fuck
we live in London now
the kids have got
cockney accents
it's like
your origin story
yeah but in reverse
but I'm terrified
the Galapagos Islands
you know
when the Captain Cook's
ships turned up
the Galapagos Islands
and the rats got off.
Just ate everything.
Ate everything, like loads of species there.
That's my theory of what happened with Earth.
The ships come down, looked at Earth,
stayed here on the way somewhere, left, right?
But we were the rats on the ship.
Humans were the rats on the ship.
A couple of them got off
and were just fucking destroying this whole planet oh that doesn't that makes sense which i mean there's also there's a ship of
that some of us aliens where humans are the rats on it i mean i wouldn't i wouldn't mind that
be like like don't get me wrong like obviously like i'd like to be on the i'd like to be on
the world forever and i hope I hope global warming doesn't happen
but when it does happen
and we're all fucked
if you could be a
fucking space rat
it's better
it's better than being a dying rat
on a fucking planet
I could hide in the
rafters of some sort of alien thing
but I mean we lost that roll of the dice mate
we got off the ship
where are the squirrels in London?
oh fuck
so I'm just fucking strapped here
maybe they'll come back
they'll never come back.
Not for the rats.
Like, they might come to refuel on the way back.
Oh, but maybe, yeah.
So, shall we say, if a spaceship come down to refuel...
Aye, aye.
...with seawater or whatever they use,
would you just quickly climb back on and go,
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Maybe they got so far out there and they were like
fuck we're running out of fuel and they learned how to make fuel
out of the rats and they've come back
and they're like
great you guys populated
this is superb
And then you just
make fuel for the spaceship
I'd say
I mean it's all fixed now and
for only the excess
of 950
so a genuine shout out
to first of all
Tesla for getting it done
as quickly
as they possibly could
support the small business
here
shout them out
check out Churchill's Etsy
I will
I fucking
you know what
because the amount of times
big companies get fucking shat
because they're all big and evil
but
I tell you what
I was not in a million years
did I expect mid-fucking pandemic
to float up a corporation guy,
a corporation and go,
Oi, something unfair and unjust happened to me
and I pay you for a service
that is meant to help me in this situation.
I'm so used to the other people going,
Ha ha, fuck you, loophole.
And then hanging up the phone
and me not getting what I paid for. It's never gone the other way going, ha ha, fuck you, loophole, and then hanging up the phone and me not getting what I paid
for. It's never gone the other way.
It's never gone, hey, no, no, no, no.
Tell you what, we'll pay all of it.
Go on, it's a pandemic. Have some
fun. Go on. Just nice.
Just a nice bit of capitalism.
I'd like to shout out Apple and
Nike. Be real,
you don't want to shout out Apple. You've had enough bad
experiences with them.
You know what I'm enjoying about Apple at the minute, though?
They've fucking nailed the photos on the phone.
What?
Your photos on your phone.
Like, if you're looking for a photo,
there's a belt of photo of bras on a horse, right?
And sometimes I want the picture of bras on a horse.
They both look sad.
He's on his honeymoon.
He's on a horse.
He doesn't want to be on the horse.
The horse doesn't want him on his back. But his wife has went, let's go He's on his honeymoon. He's on a horse. He doesn't want to be on the horse. The horse doesn't want him on his back.
But his wife has went,
let's go horse riding on our honeymoon.
And there's this amazing artistic picture
of my friend Lee Brosnan on a horse,
both of them sad.
And once every 18 months,
I want that photo.
I want to put it back out into the world, right?
Now, I need to scan it into my phone.
Type in horse.
I haven't categorised it as horse.
It just narrows what the fuck a horse looks like.
You scroll through 90 pictures of Elliot
and then get to the one with bras on his back.
I just have Elliot photos.
In fact, I wanted Elliot's tattoo photo
to put online yesterday.
Did you type in shite tattoo?
I typed in tattoo.
It didn't work.
Shite tattoo.
Nailed it
Back of the net
It loaded shit
There was a photo
That I wanted of Mark Nelson
With a bag of cans
Outside of a window
Aye
Right
I couldn't
Obviously couldn't type in
Mark Nelson bag of cans
Outside window right
Like it's not there yet
Yeah yeah
Right
Mark Nelson's face
It's a belt of photo
Mark Nelson We couldn't get into a pub Because the Champions League Final was on It's not there yet. Right? Mark Nelson's face, it's a belt, a photo. Mark Nelson,
we couldn't get into a pub
because the Champions League final was on.
It's in Brighton
where nobody cares about football.
Right?
A handful of people care about football.
Right?
And those that do are Brighton fans.
So they're not,
they're not real football fans.
They're not interested in Champions League football.
It's not for them.
So there's like three pubs in the whole of Brighton
with a Champions League final on
me and Mark
have just finished
my first gig
we've got enough
time to watch the
final and then
see my second gig
right
so we've got to
find a pub
that either
haven't got it on
or the place is
rammed because
it's one of the
only places
Mark Nelson
got a bag of
cans and watched
the Champions League
final through a
house window
he stood there
watching the
fucking game
through somebody's
window
and they spotted him
and they were just
saying aye
watch the match
whatever
it's Brighton
that sound
I was over the road
watching it through
the pub window
but Mark had
straight across the road
to watch it there
so what did you
type in for the
photo then
I just went to
Brighton on the map
I zoomed in on
Brighton until I
got to the fucking
pub
until I seen the
photos flash up
it logs where you
took the photo
and it has like...
I could type in your name
and it would bring up
every photo of you
that it recognises you on, right?
And I haven't identified
who you are to it.
It's just done the maths somehow.
I mean, that's just...
It's fucking...
It's intrusive
but it's super useful.
I feel like that's...
You can type in bra
and forget the nudes off your lady. I wonder if Samsung's you can type in bra and find out
forget the nudes
off your lady
I wonder if
Samsung's got a version
of this
they've got
they've got to keep up
hold on
they've got to keep up
em
see what I've found
with this intrusive
em
intrusive things
with technology
is like for instance
if I'm getting advertised
to snowboarding stuff
because it knows
I like snowboarding
I've just said snowboarding now
it's the snowboard season.
Oh, my God.
Is it working?
Aye.
I've just typed in Scotland,
so it's come up.
Oh, my fucking God, this is terrifying.
So a bunch of my Royal Bank of Scotland bank cards,
which I've taken photos of,
which I realised shouldn't be on my phone.
Mate, you were looking for your passport photo
to resend it
so you don't
have to take the
photo again
type in passport
it comes up
that one
healing coup
on my fucking
pillowcase
because you typed
in Scotland
because I typed
in Scotland
yes
um
picture of
Billy Gilmore
young Chelsea
fucking superb
man
Scottish
all of our
results
the word Scotland
that's easy to do
I know how that's done
I recognise the Scotland badge
yeah
fucking mad
great
so it's not specific
to Apple then
obviously
Samsung probably did it first
but I feel like
I've discovered it
just in the last couple of months
and it's been a fucking
godsend
because my phone
has full of photos
like
far too many
to even conceive
figuring it out
the fact that I can
just find a phone
that I can take
in a key way
of knowing where
it was taken at least
right
you get your
Apple phone out
right now
I'll get my phone
and we'll both type
in the word dick
okay
okay
phew
Elliot steals tattoo
no result
so yeah
that
that intrusiveness
of your phone
knowing shit
right
and
I mentioned as well
alongside it
like if
if it's snowboarding season
and I've mentioned snowboarding
then my phone will start
trying to fucking sell as a snowboard right and I've mentioned snowboarding then my phone will start trying to fucking sell
as a snowboard
right
but that's
advertising that I like
my
my
parody
likeness
is
if you got burgled
but the burglar
tidied your house
and like
alphabetised stuff
done your dishes
and you come home
and you're like
oh this is creepy
there's people
been invading
my personal space
but I really like
what they've done
with the place.
I know.
It's wrong, it's wrong, but like,
come back next week.
Oh, God.
No, it's so...
It's intrusive, but they've intruded to do something good.
No, no, but it's one of those things where I go,
but that's not why you invented that technology, is it?
What was that technology actually for?
For the payment that they're getting for the data that they're giving
for the snowboard company whose money is getting all my money
and every like-minded person's money.
It's for the advertising revenue.
If it's free, you're the product.
Capitalism, baby.
Yes.
Right.
That is a podcast
is it
that is a podcast
fucking hell that was easy
I don't know
considering we had
no wonder there's so many of them
that was a piece of piss
you know what
now that I get it
I get it
literally anyone can do this
your dad has shower curtains
on his windows of his house
your dad makes his own
e-cigarette flavours
his personal favourites are
water
sneeze
cat
chocolate I think
and do not try
parentheses
unless you are dead hard
your dad chokes on his food on purpose
in public places in the hope that a stranger
will give him the Heimlich manoeuvre
And how do you think he meant my mum?
I think you've got a problem
When someone asks for a glass of water
at your dad's house, he says
Boiling or bath?
Your dad has been released back into the wild but they tagged him with a GPS for research.
Your dad says he's got a gay dad
but all he actually does is spin around in a gay bar
calling everyone a faggot.
Your dad waves goodbye with his entire body.
He's like one of them things outside of a car park.
A car park?
A car salesman.
Yeah, I mean, the part of the car's that makes it what it is.
Your dad spits in his belly button
and then drops mini bath bombs in it
while tweaking his nipples to reach climax.
Weird kink.
Your dad winces and sucks air through his teeth
any time somebody mentions your name.
Especially if it's prefixed with
welcome to the stage.
So your son, Daniel,
your dad is in therapy because of all these jokes.
You should feel bad about that.
Well, no, don't worry, I bring up in my therapy.
So I don't feel bad about that. I don't feel bad about that. Well, no, don't worry. I bring up in my therapy. That's a problem about my dad.
Speaking of therapy, that was nice.
Speaking of you there.
What we're going to do is I'm going to stop this.
We're going to press record again and do a little intro.
Fancy doing an intro?
Sure.
I'll do an intro.
Make it good.
