Hello, podcast listeners. Welcome to Sloss and Humphreys on the road, where we are very much Sloss and Humphreys, but not on the road at all.
We have ground to a halt. We're very static right now. I don't think either of us have started 2022 yet. It's what, 10 days in.
So I've been taking some time off with my wife and Daniel has taken some time off to prepare for a baby arriving.
So this episode is just to
catch up on our mundane lives it does get quite funny though and sentimental because we talk about
bob saget passing away which is very very sad we do talk about that and then kind of spiral into
talking about porn stars or something i guess that's what he would have wanted and we do talk
about other things that's why you're here for our ramblings. If you're listening on a Wednesday

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?
You know how you and Natalie laugh at me driving slowly?
Oh yes
Did you know that Natalie had set alert alert in the car that lets us know
when I'm doing over 80?
How do you know that
considering that's never happened?
Did she just tell you?
Is this just information that she's told you
after six months of having the car
and she's like, this was going to be a fun prank play
but considering you've never gone above 80 miles
in a row, it hasn't paid off.
She was driving and I was like, what's that beeping?
I was driving to Newcastle, I forgot.
I could have mentioned that in the last podcast
because we've done one since.
But when I was driving to Newcastle,
because you know how that car likes to beep?
It's like, oh, you're about to crash into the car in front of you
and you're like, oh, thanks for telling us that, but I can see
by the car with its brakes on in front of us.
It's like it just likes to beep and tell you stuff's
happening. It's sometimes beefs to go on.
It's foggy, so I'm not going to beep anymore
because I can't see.
And you're like, oh, thanks for beeping and telling us.
Beefs and going, it's your day in 80 mail.
Now, Natalie just looked at me and went, oh, I forgot I
said that.
That's got us a couple of times on the way here And I thought you'd enjoy us telling you that
I'm just shocked that you ever got up there
Because we've got to drive to Cambridge
Which by the way
I don't know how you talked me into that
Have you seen the other alternative?
Aye
Right so we're going to Cambridge
Just Cambridge
It used to be Dublin Cambridge Cambridge it used to be Dublin
right
we're going to go
Cambridge did not used to be Dublin
that's really inaccurate history
anyone
please don't listen to it
he doesn't know history
or geography
he's made that up
do you know how you've got
Derry and London Derry
you've got Cambridge
and Dublin Cambridge
right
so this is what's
happening
I'm chatting to
Molly now right
Dublin's been
rearranged again
oh and by the way
the Aberdeen gig
was Friday
like I fucking
said it would be
guess who was wrong
I'll give you one
guess
me?
no Marlena
I was like
this feels like it's
me
I was like it's on
the website
it's on the website
it's the Thursday it's on the website it's Friday but it's on the schedule it's the Thursday which was right she was like This feels like it's me I was like It's on the website It's on the website It's the Thursday
It's on the website
It's Friday
But it's on the schedule
It's the Thursday
Which was right
She was like
It's the Thursday
It's the Thursday
I'm like
Is it
And I just kept
Double checking with her
And then eventually
During one of my double checks
She double checked
So it's Friday
The 28th
Of January
For any of you
Fucking
Dirty jokers
What a close the fuck.
It's on the tickets.
If you've got the tickets, trust the tickets and ask the venue.
They know more than me and my management.
We're going to bring away a game for that one.
We'll owe you a fucking bang out of a gig.
We'll see.
I'll decide on how you react as to what of my game I bring.
Royal we.
So we're going to Cambridge, just Cambridge, for a gig, right?
And this is how you
and molly and i had it down right fly into london pick up a hire car yep drive to cambridge yep
drive back to london yeah stay at an airport hotel right drop off the hire car stay at the
airport hotel and fly back at like 5 a.m the next day fly back at 5 a.m the next day all right
stay at the airport hotel and fly back
at like 5am the next day
fly back at 5am the next day
aye
and I'm just saying
let's just fucking
split the drive man
let's just get it done
that's horrible
that's a 9 hour
that's a 9 hour drive
with charges
with you not doing
above 72 miles an hour
I'll do
I'll do in your car
the cruise control
does all the braking for you
aye
I just think
like even knowing you
like you're going to have to now deal with a hire car
place, you're going to have to deal with a hotel
you're going to have to deal with the people to check you in
at the airport, there's just so many
fucking other people
that you're going to have to deal with
you're going to get back way later
but they're all airport people
like it's literally, and I don't mean this to sound
as fucking bad, like with car hire
at airports
you just go in
and you click your fingers
and they go
yeah yeah yeah
it's that one fucking there
with hotels
you just
even when we got booked
into the wrong hotel
by our terrible
terrible terrible
travel agent
who booked us
into the north terminal
when we're flying
from the south terminal
and even though
the north terminal
has been open in three years
but nonetheless
why would you double check
things when it's other people
doing it at 4am?
But again,
we got there,
we were at the wrong hotel
and in those moments
I always just go,
cool,
we're staying at this hotel.
That's what's now happening.
Get us the newest rooms.
That's all.
Hotel staff suck,
but hotel,
no sorry,
airport staff suck,
but hotel airport staff
are normally,
they get the fucking deal.
They get that you're arriving late.
They're not like, hey, how was your day? And you're like, none of your fucking deal. They get that you're arriving late. They're not like,
hey, how was your day?
And you're like,
none of your fucking business.
Check me in.
Anything that's small town as well
where like if you turn up after midnight,
they're just absolutely baffled.
Yeah, it was.
But your booking was for yesterday.
I know, but I'm still counting today as yesterday.
You see me and say I'm booking.
I can turn up at any point.
Even if I turn up like an hour before check
that's my room
I've paid for it
yeah I know
you said check
it was from
after fucking
three but I
wasn't waiting
outside at
2.55 being
like fuck
I hope they
let me in
soon I
cannot wait
for those
pillow biscuits
pillow biscuits
alright
you used to
get chocolates
on the pillow
you used to
the only thing
the only way
you used to
gauge hotels
was
the biscuits it's just the fact that you put them on the pillow. You used to, the only thing, the only way you used to gauge hotels was?
The biscuits.
It's just the fact that you put them on the pillow in this particular hotel.
The biscuits, the Wi-Fi.
Is that wrong?
Because they get crummy.
What was the third thing?
I guess so, yeah.
Free Wi-Fi.
Free Wi-Fi.
The biscuits.
Yeah.
And there was a third thing.
I was like, that's a good hotel
if it's got these three things.
What was the third?
Fit staff.
It's probably just so
common now like a double bed
oh no I always
because it was I think it's either Travelodge or
Premier Inn it'll be Travelodge because that's
the worst of those two
where they were like they didn't used to give free
internet and you're like it's
illegal to not give someone
internet in France how are we behind
the times than France how's thatance you know how are we behind the times than france how's
that possible you know what i am i hate when the hotel and this is a lot of hotels this is most
the hotels like here's your internet or you can pay for the good stuff you're like just give us
the good stuff you tight cunt i'm here it's there hi it's fucking everywhere roy kent
are you enjoying ted last i've finished it you finished Kent Are you enjoying Ted Lasso?
I've finished it
You've finished both seasons?
Did you finish season two?
I called how it was going to end
Aye
I'm not going to spoiler it
Because people may still be watching it
And if you're not watching it
You fucking should
Like you legit should
It's just a very warm glass of hot chocolate
After a cold day
With your feet up by the fire.
I'm not sure if I mentioned it in the last time we spoke,
but I'll mention it now.
If anybody liked Schitt's Creek,
and you've got a hole in your life where Schitt's Creek used to be,
and you just liked being around those characters and that vibe,
you can fill that hole easily with Ted Lasso.
Aye.
So I'd be watching that.
I fucking love it.
Anyway, I've had a lovely week.
Not much to report,
but, you know,
because Natalie's off as well.
I don't know if I've mentioned this on the podcast,
but Natalie took a redundancy
and she's, like, getting paid to not work for quite a while.
And she applied for other jobs in the same field.
I'll not talk too much about it,
but, like, got the jobs on the same wage
she would have been on at her previous job and that, and she's just disinterested for one reason or another in the in the hr life and she's
started like she's got to retrain in a completely different field one of our uh gary you know the
last gary last gary i yeah i was you know when i was the only one getting high at the new year party
i thought i'd tell you this everyone was drinking i was getting high on summer tweed and i was the
only one
there high.
And there was another lad
that had like a couple of talks
but I was blazed.
And he just went,
well,
you'd rather be on
the bottom rung of a ladder
you want to be on
than the top rung of a ladder
you don't want to be on,
right?
Which just sounds like wank.
But I was just like,
that's fucking real shit
that, Gary.
That's some fucking
real shit that, Gary.
You know, in a room full of people that work in the
fucking corporate sector.
You're like, aye, you know what?
You're right.
That just feels like one of those.
Did he learn that from
a poster that had a kitten on it?
He learned it from an open spot.
That quit his job.
It's true, though. I'd fucking rather be trying to make my way in comedy
than fucking, you know, being well at the sports centre.
But I guarantee that's only true for half the people.
I guarantee there's people out there,
and I don't not agree with them,
who are like, I would absolutely rather be a multimillionaire
doing a job I fucking hate than, you know, writing.
Even though writing's my passion,
I'm shite at writing.
I can't be ass-breaking at it.
I'd much rather be doing fucking gear
at the stock market
every Thursday afternoon.
I'm miserable.
My wife definitely cheats on me,
but that's fine, I cheat on her.
I get paid three million a year.
That hedonistic life.
Aye.
Oh, man, I watched that documentary
about the banks.
Imagine there's loads. I think it's Inside Job, I think it's called, on life. Aye. Oh man, I watched that documentary about the banks. Imagine there's loads.
I think it's Insane Job,
I think it's called,
on Netflix.
Aye.
Because we have,
oh,
I've got to tell you this now,
we'll have Marvel Mondays
and Documentary Tuesdays.
Mm-hmm.
I'm going to get to that
in a second.
What was my point?
I don't know.
Oh,
Natalie being off.
Aye.
Which gets me to that,
we've structured,
we're weak, right?
Because we're both off
to go back to class,
we're off for Christmas there, we're off all of January, and we've started deciding that we're going we've structured we're weak right because we're both off to go back to class we're off for the
Christmas there
we're off all the January
and we've started
deciding that we're
going to structure
we're weak
and we're going to
have something
on each day
that signifies it
as that day
she doesn't start
a job until February
at training
at the bottom rung
of that ladder
I've got to put
a couple of bookmarks
in because there is
something else
on the corporate
wank thing
that I saw
you know
a comedian posted something about
how you get loads of rich people that get into the arts,
like in musicals.
You get into the fringe in comedy,
you get loads of people that are just sponsored by dad
having big poster campaigns and we fucking hate them.
There was just a fresh angle on that that I hadn't seen,
which was everybody wants to be an artist
when they're financially free.
Like, the proof is all these rich kids
that are just trying to fucking make their way in art
that we sneer upon because they didn't fucking grind
and they didn't come up from the bottom.
They got, like, placed in at a higher spot
that we couldn't get placed in.
And seeing that, like, everybody wants to be an artist
until rent's due.
Oh, and then it's... That was and that was one of them wanky things where I was just like
uh huh, I feel that
that's it
you're thinking what Gary's made
do you want me to
when's your birthday again?
July?
July the 5th
that was close
codependency
it's a day after independence day didn't really scan July. July the 5th. Oh, I was close. Codependence Day.
It's the day after Independence Day.
Got you.
Got you.
Didn't really scan.
Well, it scanned, it didn't work.
Right, back to Marvel Monday.
So I was with you last Monday.
Yeah.
Our first Marvel Monday.
Right.
And I was dead excited because I was going to see Spider-Man at the cinema.
Oh, yeah, aye.
Right, and I'm like, oh, you'll tell us what you think of it. And the reason you didn't hear it before I was a bit excited because I was going to see Spider-Man at the cinema. Oh, yeah, aye. And I'm like, oh, you'll tell us what you think of it.
And the reason you didn't hear it before I was on Tuesday morning is because Natalie bought the tickets online.
Yeah.
She's going to be hating this bit,
so I'll try and tell it from her side as well.
Can I just interrupt briefly?
I've never got to tell the story yet because she always butts in.
Right, okay.
No, no, no, no, no.
If you've not told the story for you,
I know what it's
like to have a woman interrupt your story with facts that stop the story being funny and you're
like bitch i'm not i'm telling it for the laws yes obviously i'm mugging you off in the process
that's where the laws are coming from you knew this when you married a comedian
of course i'm making you look fucking stupid. I'm not going to look stupid or stupid in this story.
I'm telling it.
I'm the hero.
Pay attention.
Be a victim in your story.
Jesus Christ.
Right, anyway.
What did that dumb cunt do?
Oh, mate.
This stupid bitch.
Tell me.
You know how she likes a discount?
Oh, yes.
You have the...
This is going to sound like a different type of compliment.
You have the tightest wife in the world.
Your wife is the reason why Scottish people have the stereotype
they're tight-fisted.
I've never known...
And she can be like, I'll look for a bargain.
No, Cara looks for a bargain.
Cara won't spend money on...
Like, Natalie will...
Oh, don't, Kai.
We'll not book flights
to Singapore yet
because they might have
invented a new
plane company by then.
Aye,
exactly.
So like,
she took away to Hawaii
on WestJet
and it took her,
no lie,
over three days
to get there
from leaving the house
to arriving in Hawaii.
And you saved
50 quid.
I stayed in Canada?
I saved 40 quid? stayed in canada i saved 40 quid
this is who my wife is like we me and my wife have got completely different ideas about what
skin is right for me skin is i'm 19 grand in debt i've been i've been harder than that
i've been 30 g's down right i've been 30 G's down where I've had like a 10 grand loan
which will be paid back
it'll take 20 grand to pay it back
let's be real
two credit cards that are maxed
and you're paying minimum payments
and there's nothing left on the credit cards
and you're at the bottom of two overdrafts right
and you're going into the bank
and going
can I get £7.90, please?
And Matty sat there going, no.
But do you want to go to the pub?
I'm like, I'm going to need that, though.
Can I get that?
They don't give you £7 at the cash point,
so I need to get it at the desk here.
I've been that level of skint, man.
I know what skint is.
Like, hers is like, oh, we're going to have, like,
we're going to dip into the really dear funding.
And like,
I look at the really dear funding,
and I could live forever on that.
But I couldn't,
I'd get into a world of debt after six months.
I need her in me life.
Right?
Like,
she fucking,
she sorted me right out.
So,
I mock her,
but I need her.
Aye.
You saw what I was before I met her.
And you've seen who I am now.
She's the reason why you, she's the reason why you can't afford rent as a comedian during the shitter months.
She's given me financial surgery.
Aye.
And she didn't donate to us.
She fixed us.
Aye.
She helped me sort myself out.
And she did help me out along the way, aye.
Let's not take that away from her.
It was like the 2014 fringe where I was on my bottom dollar from paying for the fringe and she took
this she took this 700 pound for spending money throughout the fringe which i paid back in like
2018 something like that right like she's anyway what did this stupid cunt do what did this dumb
dumb bitch do so we get to the cinema yep we've got our tickets bought
this is the world I live in
we've got our tickets bought
because she was
in front of me
with her phone
buying tickets
asking what time
we want to go to
right
figuring it all out
and I'm like
don't book that one
I might not be back
from Gloomhaven on time
let's go to the later one
we're going to put Peggy to bed
we're discussing the time
of where we're going
as she's buying the tickets
on her phone
this is the world I live in
right
we get there
we've got our tickets
we get to the ticket booth and it's like scan your qr code just press some buttons just scan your qr
code she gets the qr code up on her phone and goes to scan it in the ticket thing and her fucking
phone doesn't fit in the ticket thing right so we have to get up to the desk stupid design ask for
qr code doesn't have room for a phone another scanner right go over to the desk and she's just going
oh this isn't working
on the scanner
and he scans it
and it fucking doesn't work
and he goes
oh it's for the nine o'clock
it's full
and I'm ready to
fucking tear me out
because I'm like
you mean it's fucking full
it's full
because we've got
two of the tickets
like we bought the tickets
in advance
and I can't
I can't give them hell
because I am certain
we've got tickets
to this show.
Natalie had bought a discount.
A what?
She had bought a discount.
I don't understand what that means.
I didn't understand what it meant,
but apparently you can buy a discount for the tickets and then you show them at the cinema and they scan it and they charge you less.
So you pay, like, I don't know what it was through, I don't know if it was through some app, tickets and then you show them at the cinema and the scanner and the charger less so you like pay
you pay like i don't know what it was through i don't know if it was through some app but like a
groupon type thing all right so that's literally you like it's like buying somebody a 30 discount
next time you so without the ticket itself she bought 30 off the next ticket she was going to
buy you know what i'm not even sure if she paid for it Or if she just Booked the discount
I don't
Mate
She's tried to explain
To us a bunch of times
Which is why
She keeps jumping on the story
Right
But the story is
Nonetheless
She spent the time
She could have been
Booking tickets
Looking for the discount
Getting a discount
On the tickets
And she said
She's like
In the cinema's defence
Like
Are you like
I'm not going after
The cinema here I nearly did I not going after the cinema here.
I nearly did.
I nearly went after the cinema.
Mate, I was fucking raging with a guy.
And she had to push his back.
And still couldn't explain to us why she was pushing his back.
She was like, I didn't buy the tickets.
I'm like, what the fuck are we doing?
Why wait in the cinema then?
And she was like, well, it's £4 cheaper and I don't have a job.
And I'm like, aye, but you got given quite a bit of money
there's not day out
the reason we're not
doing anything
is because that was
the decision we both made
and I'm still working
aye
I still do my gigs
so it's not like
we're not living on beans
nah
and if you are
it's through choice
she saved £4
and I'm like and also three hours
of your life because you didn't see the fucking movie we spent it on petrol so she used the
discount to buy tickets for the next day all right and walked away with the tickets and she said like
because i was saying what a fucked up system that is you buy you get the discount on the off chance
you're gonna have a seat or you can buy a ticket obviously by the ticket you're getting
you're getting
like off peak
rates is what
you're getting
there and she's
like nah it was
my fault because
I could have
still bought them
online but I
just thought it
would be easier
to do it at the
counter it's a
fucking Monday
night there's
people at school
in the morning
it's nine o'clock
it's a kids movie
it's not a fucking
kids movie
Spider-Man is
not for children
oh yeah if it's
for children then
how come somebody
died in Endgame? Explain that with your science.
Stop it, I'm crying already.
So,
aye, we went on Tuesday.
So, my first Marvel Monday was
Documentary Tuesday, and my first Documentary Tuesday
was Marvel Monday. See, I
like having somebody in my life
who is
looking out for discounts and stuff because I am and I
will hold my hand up here I'm shy I was with Kara's parents a couple weeks ago and they were
talking about haggling and I'm like I've never haggled in my fucking life and they're like for
anything I'm like what do you mean I assumed haggling was something that you could only do
in like some flea markets in Kazakhstan or like down in like the weird place in fucking Pamplona.
But it turns out people haggle for couches and cars.
Like you can,
apparently the job is like,
because I remember when I was buying my fucking couch,
I went in with Big Ali
and they quoted the price of the couch
and I was like,
cool, done.
And he's like,
you've got to haggle.
I'm like,
man,
I would pay a grand not to haggle,
not to have a conversation with that man any longer than I need to fucking have a conversation with that man.
If that's the price, that's the fucking price.
Same thing with the fucking Tesla.
I'm like, whatever gets this conversation over as quickly as fucking possible is how much I'll pay.
And it's now gotten to the point now where...
You're affluent, though.
Aye, aye, but if I want to remain affluent i need somebody like cara in my life so now whenever
i have tradies around at the house right whenever we're getting stuff done i have to get cara down
to join because i'll just say yes to everything and whenever tradies turn up in my house or
whenever a fucking car salesman sees me right they think i don't see this but i do see this
one of them will get out like a conch just just like a conch, and then just blow it
to let all the other tradies know
that a giant, stupid, rich mammoth
has walked into the store.
And I'm just there being like,
oh, is this the price of everything?
Like, it sure is, buddy.
And we've got a special deal on today
that everything's double the price.
And I'm like, well, that seems reasonable.
I guess I came in on a double price Tuesday.
You're basically Newcastle United in the transfer window oh man Jesus man they fucking love me they
they all walk out with a different bit of my fucking scalp we went Cara's buying a new car
because she's but she's about to become a mother and so she needs a new car for that and I mean
I'm not trading in the Tesla right the car seeks fits in it we've double checked it's a safe car
we went in to get a car.
But Cara's going to have to get in the boot.
A boot for the boot.
We get to the car shop place
and the guy the entire time
is just trying to talk to me.
He's like, what are you after?
I'm like, no idea.
It's her car.
And he's like, okay.
So he sort of gives her a tour around the car.
In a sexist way
he knows that
she's going to get
the discount
and you're going
to accept anything
no I don't know
and let's not
sell this man
down the river
but almost definitely
the fucking sexist reason
because he just kept
going over
he was like
okay now that
she's seen it
like what
but I'm like
man I don't know
she helped me
buy my car
like Cara will
regularly tell me
because I bought it on
finance i have no idea what that means i have no idea what that means but cara was there when i
bought my car yeah because when i talk to you because like you don't know if you've got lease
or higher purchase or finance you've got no idea how you've got your car no idea couldn't tell you
how about my house and like you thought you had a certain amount of mileage and then it turns out
you don't and you're like i'm like how can you not have your finger on the pulse at all with this
you did your house as well
you didn't buy a house
did you
you don't know how
to get a mortgage
or anything
no idea
clueless
see Natalie did it
with the house
we've just got
because she's just better
at that sort of stuff
and again
the haggling
like the
the dealing with people
so good
yeah
I've dealt with a mortgage
before and absolutely
had my pants pulled down
Cara can deal
with salesmen and tradies and I can dealt with a mortgage before and absolutely had my pants pulled down. Cara can deal with salesmen and tradies
and I can deal with spiders.
So in a relationship, we complete each other.
And that's fair.
I think that's fair.
The spider thing's so fucked up with them.
I was in the loft because when the snow on the roof,
the snow melt, it comes through the window in the loft loft it's like a skylight and i've got a little
bucket under there and it was just you know when you discover things about your house after you
buy it all right and you know you just shake your fist at the previous homeowner as if they're some
sort of angry deity yeah for me not that big a deal deal because how often it's a problem.
And you just want to go, just these are solid and pointed out.
I don't want my fucking bedroom ceiling to be wet,
and that's how I find out, right?
So you like that.
So we found this.
It's probably an easy problem to fix.
Like, you probably just need some ceiling on or some shit.
But for me, it's easier to just put a fucking bucket there. If we have a snow, pop my heat in, see's any water in sure enough there's a boot fucking a thumb of water and like a thumbnail of water
and the thing but this is one of the biggest spiders i've ever fucking seen in my life like
an actual i don't know if it was just because it was bloated with the water it was dead but it was
like had tarantula legs you know normally in this country if a spider has long legs it's got the
tiny little body tiny little body and its legs are spindly.
So it's got the span of a child's hand.
But it's like, there's not much to it.
This had meat.
It had meat and it was big
and it might have just been because it was bloated up.
And I was passing it down to Natalie
and I was like, oh, by the way, it's got a spider in it.
She nearly wasn't going to get the bucket offers
because it had a spider in that was long dead.
Aye.
Right?
And when she did get it,
she couldn't look at it
and she couldn't pour it out.
It's dead.
Aye.
It's not going to do anything.
Right?
And I'm like,
well, I'm going to have to come
do the loft
and it's no big deal.
Aye.
Right?
I'll do it.
It's no big deal.
I'm going to have to come
do the loft,
pour it down,
get back up the loft.
Also, you know we were about
to see Spider-Man, right?
Like, you
understand. We were just about to
watch like two and a half hours
where this features fucking heavily.
Is that why you bought
pretend tickets and we're no longer
fucking, oh, I bought the wrong tickets, I guess
we can't go. Is there any chance we can go see
I don't know, like, Ratman or
She stood on her chair the whole time. That's isn't it all right well all right um so uh yeah i had to get
doing the loft to because she wouldn't look at it or flush it see i and then i heard i like
complaining to someone that i flushed it down the toilet and what if it comes back up i'm like
what if it comes back up what's it gonna be all right well also also if it comes back up. I'm gonna hike. What if it comes back up? What's it gonna be? Well also, if it comes back up, like, well, we have a serious problem. That is one of
the strongest spiders in the world. It can swim despite the fact that it's got very thin,
thin legs. And I know they're chunky, but it's got no, like, wide bit to cross propulsion.
So it's got the stickiest legs in the world that it's able to climb up against the fucking
flow. Hold its breath. propulsion so it's got the stickiest legs in the world that it's able to climb up against the fucking flow all right it's breath no terrifying terrifying that means it can live in your mouth
for however knows how long um kind of scared of small but now don't get me wrong i fucking hate
spiders right if if i could if i could fucking thanos click my fingers and get rid of every bug
on this planet i'd be happy to see what happened to the ecosystem. To just crush the ecosystem.
No problem.
We'll work it out.
We've been to the moon, right?
We will.
Back to the collapse.
Yeah, a couple of billion people will die,
but after that, we'll work it out.
Just have one good holiday where I'm not being bitten.
Aye.
They're just gross.
Bugs are gross.
What ruins outside bugs?
Oh, can I go pick up
that pile of dirt
no there's probably
a fucking centipede in it
and they walk all weird
it holds me back
I love picking up muck
all the time
now I can't
I can't live in the free world
that I want to fucking live in
I think spiders are fucking gross
I get it right
but I'm also
it's like my fear of heights
where I go
I've got this illogical fear
and I'm going to try
and just be logical
around about it
like I'll never go towards
a cliff edge
because there's logic there
I don't trust anyone else
in the world
and also
I don't need
wind
I'm not
do you respect heights
is that what you're telling us
yeah like
because I don't
if that's the case
I am scared of fire
ah yeah
but I'm
but I'm not
no no but like
I have a respect for
for fire because
yeah I
I will
I'll not let my fear of heights
get in the way
of
things
like I'll
I'll go on roller coasters
I've been at the top of the Eiffel Tower
several times
I'll
if I was at the Burj Khalifa
if I was ever in that
fucking shithole country
I would
go to the top of it what's the Burj Khalifa, if I was ever in that fucking shithole country, I would go to the top of it.
What's the Burj Khalifa?
The fucking tallest building in...
Oh, the Burj Khalifa.
Aye.
Burj.
Burj.
Remember when I used to say that for, like,
no, you didn't.
Did you Burj?
Oh, aye.
That weird fucking only from your street thing.
Not even my street.
I heard, like, one guy saying it when I was younger.
I took it in adult life
did you boosh
so I've
I will respect
yeah
but you also saw me
at the fucking hotel
in
Austin
which was
those horrible
that fucking horrible
type of hotel
where it's like
either a triangle
or a square
but all the balconies
are just looking down
into the fucking lobby oh yeah yeah the internal balconies yeah and it's like it a triangle or a square, but all the balconies are just looking down into the fucking lobby.
Yeah, the internal balconies.
Yeah.
And it's like, it's just hollowed out
all the way to the top,
and it's fucking massive.
Yeah, yeah.
So the whole time,
Kara's looking over the edge,
and I'm like walking to the next wall.
I'm like, I don't need to see that.
I don't enjoy the view.
The view doesn't make me fucking look good.
It gives me the fucking heebie-jeebies the most.
I had a fucking windowed elevator
where you could,
and I was like, I'll just face the door.
I'm logical about it.
Same with spiders.
I'll be, they're gross, right?
I'm not going to pick them up.
If I can take them outside safely, I'll do that.
But also, it's a fucking spider.
If it has to die, it dies,
and I'm not going to feel fucking bad about it.
But she gets freaked out by ones that are like this big,
like literally the size of your fucking thumbnail.
Like she'll send pictures of,
she's like,
we can't go into the,
we can't go into the baby's room today.
And I'm like,
why not?
And she'll take a photo.
And if you zoom in from a photo that is taken like a meter away,
if you zoom in three times,
you can see the tiniest little spider.
I'm like,
I can't.
How's that different from a tick?
Aye.
Tick would be worse.
I feel like a tick's actually got to do something.
Is it those ones that dig into your skin
blood suckers
like fucking
kill all bugs man
what are they there for
to feed birds
right and what do
they do
tweet in the morning
get rid of them
kill bugs
let's get rid of
all of them
fuck the climate
yeah like
bugs and journalists
and people from
Adelaide
yeah
yeah
oh well you're just like I just want to live on a burnt planet and journalists and people from Adelaide. Yeah, yeah.
You're just like, I just want to live on a burnt planet.
Send me to Mars on my own.
I'll be grand.
Have I got Wi-Fi?
Yeah.
The world is going to end, probably not within our lifetime,
but shortly afterwards.
We're not doing enough to prove... Well, global warming was over 10 years ago.
Like, we can't stop
it it's well and truly past the only thing we can hope for is that scientists are able to do
something that actually counteracts what we've done but this idea that we can prevent or stop
what's happening is a myth and an illusion and we went past the point of no return roughly 10 years
ago and i don't think as a species we're going to do anything to actually prevent these things so
in the remaining few years i think why not just make them fun and get rid of all the stuff that
sucks and that includes 98% of journalists and 100% of bugs like we might as well write about
all the books who gives a shit who gives a shit they'll probably say oh right on the left wing
media they'll print that the right wing did it the left-wing media, they'll print that the right-wing did it,
and on the right-wing media,
they'll print that the left-wing did it,
and they'll do that
so they can get their little fucking advertisement clicks
while they sell out their own fucking profession.
And if we just ignore that,
in the last 20 years we have on this planet,
we can't read any news,
and we'll just be happy.
We won't even be in need for newspapers
because, one, you're not interested in the news,
and, second, you don't need it to swat away flies.
Why?
Because they're
all dead
easy fucking
peasy
I do it with
my iPad
these days
my modern
man
I just
swat away
flies
we'll have
cocktail
Fridays
which
hang on
so we'll
do brunch
on Wednesdays
park Thursdays
and cocktail
Fridays
we start at 5 o'clock
with the cocktails
and we're dressed up for it
we're dressed up smart
as if we're going out
it's mad that you guys
will do this
but not
buy each other Christmas presents
like what's your fucking point
what's your fucking point
Daniel I'm going to take you back
to the start of the podcast
Natalie is tight as fuck.
She just wants to spend money on us.
You know what she told me that day?
We're driving along and she just out of nowhere went,
I've got to think about your 40th in a year and a half.
I was like, oh my God.
Do you want a divorce?
She was like, do you miss smoking at all? Do you want a divorce She was like Do you miss smoking at all
Do you want to get back into it
Do you want to start smoking again
I don't know
Like a pack a day
Two pack a day
Make yourself happy
And em
I got
I got high again
Because
I've still got weed
I got high on cocktail
Friday
And
I love
I love me dog anyway
But I just love Looking at me dog When I'm high I love, I love me dog anyway,
but I just love looking at me dog
when I'm high.
I don't look at her
like she's a dog anymore,
right?
I'm not going there.
I don't look at her
like she's a person.
I look at her like
she's some fucking
extraterrestrial
that's just in this
strange world
and she's just
adaptant of it.
Just like,
sure.
Man,
what a weird
extraterrestrial.
Like,
what kind of alien race do you think was like,
shall we send our best man?
No!
Shall we send someone that's going to report
back?
Let's send our youngest,
youngest, dumbest cunt.
Oh, man, but that's...
You know what? If a fucking child human
ended up on a fucking alien planet...
We're getting into Superman territory. We're getting into Superman territory.
We're getting into Superman territory.
Do not compare your gay dog to Superman.
This is like when Elliot got high and invented Planet of the Apes in front of us.
He'd done it in his set, but it was fucking me that called the mood on it.
He just was like, oh, he's talking about animals evolving at different rates
and then them taking over and that.
And I was like, you mean Planet of the Apes?
He was like, oh, I you mean Planet of the Apes?
She was like,
oh,
I just invented Planet of the Apes.
She's just a weird looking thing,
man,
especially when you're high.
Because,
you know,
I always joke that she looks like a teddy that's been brought alive.
She looks like a teddy,
but like,
you know,
a knockoff teddy
that's not even like a brand.
Like,
it's not,
like,
it's just hashed together, teddy. Like, she's got so much fur on her face now and she's's not even, like, a brand. Like, it's just hashed together, teddy.
Like, she's got so much fur on her face now,
and she's got this little, like, black slit of a mouth
that looks like it could be smiling, but it's mainly straight.
She's just, like, looking around, and I'm like,
I'm high as fuck, and I'm looking at her,
and I'm like, can anybody else see this?
Can anybody else see this?
Natalie, can he see this? She else see this is this just natalie can he see this
she makes us laugh a lot i feel like uh that episode of rick and morty where they've just
got that little you know the mr poopy pants slips with them how he got there
he's saying i've got that living in me He's like I need to live here now do you It's just a lot of fun
We
Are now at the stage
Where
There's food
In the house
That has an eat by date
That is
After
The date of our alleged son
Is born Cara was like That's a harsh reality after the date of her alleged son is born.
Cara was like...
That's a harsh reality, that.
Man, that burns me when I'm doing the fringe,
when I'm writing a fringe show
and the milk says 3rd of August.
Aye.
Fuck knows what that's like.
It's not the milk.
Oh, this month's going to be tough.
It's not the milk. It's not the milk,'s not the milk This month's gonna be tough It's not the milk It's not the milk
But it's like
It's bread
It's biscuits
It's
Not like tinned food
Obviously that was true
A year ago
But
It's perishable food
Aye
Aye
Like I think
I'm pretty sure there's milk
That goes out of date
Or it's just that goes out of date
After
It might be a juice
But yeah
There'll be like,
fucking hell, like refrigerator items.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well,
are you,
how are you enjoying this?
Is she on maternity now?
How does that work?
No, no.
She's working from home and that,
is she just?
Aye.
I think she goes,
she takes maternity,
like she's cutting it fine.
Like she is trusting that this baby is due the day it's fucking due.
She's like, it's due 14th.
I'll fucking take, it's due 15th, sorry.
Natalie's convinced that you're in for a real shock.
I mean, I'm not.
No, because she's like, because he doesn't think he's in for a shock.
Unlike everyone else that we know,
I was raised fully around children from the age of nine up.
I know, mate.
But you are also being raised also.
I feel like you've got to have a bit more respect for it than that.
I do.
You've got to be like, I've seen it.
It's like a doctor.
Is it South Park or somewhere? Is there a doctor here? He's like, I've seen it, don't I? It's like a doctor. Is it South Park or somewhere?
Is there a doctor here?
And he's like, I've seen Quincy.
At no point have I said it's going to be easy.
Like, I'm very aware of how difficult being a parent is.
It's just way easier than 75% of other cunts make it look.
Oh, yeah.
My view of it's always been like, I've seen people capable of me to do it right but i i feel like what's going to be a shock for you is you love
being in control you like having control of stuff yeah but you don't have control with kids uh-huh
you're gonna you're not gonna get what you want you're not having what you want yes i hate not
having what i want with adults right i am able to differentiate between life with adults and life
I'm not going to be fucking
sitting with people
like
but it's 9pm
I should go to bed
this is bedtime
I'm not retarded
like I'm very aware
of what it's like
to
man
we're not rooting for you
to be in for a shock
I changed
I hope he's like
I hope he's aware
yeah
man
I've
man
I had to put my brothers to bed.
I've changed fucking nappies.
I had a disabled fucking sister until I was seven years old.
I'm very aware of what it's like to be there.
But that means your mum and dad are good at it.
Uh-huh.
But you think I wasn't involved in the process?
You think I was fucking swanning around in a little bathrobe being like,
and now it's time for me to be served?
You were.
They also had a nine-year-old.
Imagine how hard that is.
They had needs.
And then when they had Matthew and Jack jack i was fucking 10 and 12 and all through
their bits i was man i had to babysit constantly my parents were going out and living their lives
again i'm not saying it's easy i i've never once claimed it was fucking easy you've just been on
the cold face like not as the main person but i've been you've seen it in action i was like i
like i would not because i i'm not considering having children main person but i've been you've seen it in action i was like i like
i would not because i i'm not considering having children just new but i would never look at like
oh yeah i used to look after my little sister i'd never look at that as like uh babies are
fucking easy as long as you know what you're doing but it's difficult they're easy in senses
in the sense that there's only four things you can really do with babies right you feed them
you burp them you change their nappy you try and get them to go to sleep right if none of those things stop them crying you do all four
again and then again and then again and if it's three or four times that's when you go right it
could be colic it could be all these other things that's when i'll take it to a doctor but babies
need four things sleep food burped and changed that's the first month of their life those are
the only four things you have to fucking do because they've got nothing else in their brains apart
from that then after that they start becoming
little people and you're like, okay, well now I've got to, cause I mean, there's been
a bit of...
Just keep the bumpers up for them.
Just keep them...
You've just got to, they're going to be all over the place. I'm just going to try and
steer them.
You don't even have to fucking baby proof your house for the first three months because
the baby, unless you're putting your baby right beside a fucking plug socket going,
I dare you, I fucking dare you.
It's not moving anywhere.
The difficult things are going to be sleep, which is fine.
I mean, it's not fine.
It'll be shite.
But, like, that's the job.
That's the deal you make with the devil when you decide to have a kid.
You go, for at least the first year, I'm not going to have good levels of sleep.
We've also got parents around the corner.
We've got her parents up there.
I think, yeah, that'll be good.
They'll move down, bro.
No, no, but they'll come down if you'd make a single request.
Yeah, like, how you're chatting about, like,
aligning your own expectations and stuff.
Like, just to make sure that you're working as a team
and you're on the same stuff.
Well, the whole thing is, as against the baby.
That would be such a stress if, like,
you were clashing away apart.
Like, you and Cara definitely won't,
because they've got correct lines of communication.
But, you know, relationships that are a little bit toxic anyway
and the one-upmanship within the relationship,
if you had that with a child,
that would be fucking really stressful.
Well, but also, like, I want want to do when the baby's born,
I want to do 75% of the work.
I don't want it to be a 50,
50% split at the start because you feel like you're in debt.
Yes,
man.
There's nothing,
nothing I can do at the moment to help.
Like you're,
when your missus is fucking in the third,
I mean,
look,
all the pregnancy sucks, but like in the man the third trimester but oh it's just she can't fucking sleep
she's up every one hour or two hours pissing right her sleep is fucked she her diet changes day to
day sometimes she's hungry sometimes she's not sometimes she's sick her back is in fucking agony
she can't get fucking comfortable and you're just sat there like,
do you want a massage?
She's like, no, thank you.
And I'm like, then I'm out.
The one thing I'm able to do during this time is give you a back rub.
Can I run you a bath?
You don't want a bath?
Do you ever ask if she wants space?
Do you want me to fuck off?
No, no, but I should.
That was like the second
trimester when she was like please stop asking because i was like right sorry is that what's
now annoying it's just me going i need to help i need to help i need to help and not yeah coming
on the podcast was cathartic for her with that yes i she's just like please shut the fuck up
and understand man i don't mind being there and she can quote me on this and i don't mind being
the one that changes the first 100 nappies.
Because, like, again, I've changed nappies before.
It's gross and it's shite, but that's what it is.
Yeah, I wouldn't be asked about the changing nappies thing.
It's the same as, like, I'm not asked about fucking picking up shit with a dog.
No, I would, I'll definitely, like,
thank God babies don't understand any shit,
because if my baby understood like social things i would give
it such a complex about shitting within the first three months because i'm gonna retch like it's
bad shit stinks yeah spew on your baby just wipe that up as well and just hose it down after you
know when you're like when you and Cara
don't you
spew
I'll spew
you're like
that but with
shitting
don't you
shit
I'll shit
I'll just
shut your
pants
even Colin
just watching
the NFL
that's the
bit
like
I will
man I hate
bad fucking
smells
and also
I still
definitely have
this thing
and it's
such a
childish
thing
that I
think you
get over
dead
quickly
when you're a parent
but because again
when I was raising my brothers
I wasn't a parent
I did occasional
little bits and pieces
man
I still have such a childish thing
if poo touches you
all of you is poo
oh yeah
that's in my head
if poo touches you
you're made of poo
you're made of poo
you stink of poo
you need a full shower
and then you need to
bleach the shower
it's a contagion it's so fucking nerve-aging You're made of poo, you stink of poo. You need a full shower, and then you need to bleach the shower.
It's a contagion.
It's like fucking that nerve agent from the South Sea.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I'm pretty sure that's a parent.
Because Ali, again, another reason why I'm confident enough of... Novotroc, that's what I was looking for.
What?
Novotroc was the nerve agent.
Oh, right, okay.
One of my best friends Ali
I've said this before
His daughter is
Oh god it must be six or
Five or six weeks now
Five weeks I think
His baby is going to be three months older
Than ours
So I'm just constantly around at his
Being like right just let me hold her for a bit
Let me get used to like This this is my practice, baby.
You got to learn how to hold it with one hand, switch with one hand.
You got to make sure that you know how to fucking burp it properly.
So I'm like, get all that stuff in.
I still didn't touch her poo.
Like he was like, do you want to change your nappy?
And I was like, no, because there are nappies.
Nice try, motherfucker.
But there's nappies in abundance in my life very soon as much
as i'm like oh you know it'd be nice to i'm not i like i'm not getting i'm not getting previews
in for nappy yeah all right it's this like with other people like it as well like is
if you want to feed my kid i'll let you feed my kid the cleaning up spew and cleaning up
shit is objectively just the parent's job.
I'm not going to be one of those ones that's like,
can you do me a favour?
Can you change the nappy?
Motherfucker, that's not my baby.
I'll cuddle your baby.
I'll try and rock your baby to sleep.
I'll feed your baby.
I'll entertain your baby.
I'm not burping your baby
and I'm not changing your baby's nappy.
That's unreasonable.
I wonder if I ended like in custody of the baby
while you did something,
you had to do something right.
But I wouldn't even do a preview
and not be changed then.
I'd be like,
next time you need to change the nappy,
show us.
And then I'll do it for realsies when I need to.
But let us like see what you do.
It's dead easy.
You take the nappy off, and then you go...
What?
I thought you just layered them on.
Like, you know, some people paint over the wallpaper.
You wrap them up like a parcel.
But, like, this baby fucking reeks of shit.
Well, he must have touched his poo,
because now he's become poo.
You know the rules.
You use these three fingers, and you grab one of their legs,
and you grab the other legs, and you just fucking yeet eat them back so you pick them up like a six-pack
aye and you lift that little pack off the ground a little bit right and then you get you have to
get cotton wool bod you can't use wet wipes no wet wipes not until they're about three months old
so baby wipes nope are not for babies no no they're for like they're for like they're not
for newborn babies only thing you're allowed to use on newborn babies is like cotton wool pads
and you dip them
in like warm water
and then you just
fucking
my mother used to use
baby wipes
when I'm married
bullshit this
I've turned out okay
look at my eyes
also baby wipes
are definitely for adults
that was always
One of my traits of mind
Whenever I was
You know
Whenever you go to your friend's house
And they've got a toddler
That's potty training
And they've just got the wet wipes
Beside the thing
And you're like
Oh
I'm going to have a particularly
Clean bum hole today
This is class
And there's baby oil
By the bed
You're like
Alright
I try and for children
We've got the We've got the PPTPs Oh yeah You've got the
we've got the
PPTPs
oh yeah
you've got the little
fucking wigwams
that you put on
you've just got to
snap your baby's cock out
you've got to put that
over there
you wipe you out
you wipe
and then you put it on
and then about 35 minutes
later they'll shit that one
and you've got to do it
all over again
and it's
how often do they go in
oh
I'm going to
they get fed pretty much
every two to four hours
and they'll shit at least once
after each one of those and then they'll also
just piss on a whim and also whenever you are
changing their nappies they'll also just
piss and shit then. That's what I've noticed
with Alex one, it's like
he's like, whenever
he's changing the baby he's like, don't stand there
stand over to the sides because there's just something about the fresh air hits their little tushy.
And they're like, oh.
The projectile.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'll shit and piss in the wind.
Look, it's going to be very fucking difficult.
It's going to be really, really, really hard.
But you know what?
I think you're going to enjoy the project side of it.
You're going to be like, this is what I've committed to.
This is what I'm doing.
Also, I've got a much easier,
easier start to fatherhood
than most other parents.
Like, I get all of the time off for this.
Yeah, you're blessed with dual grandparents,
both sides.
Yes.
You're blessed with financial,
not just stability, but access.
Yes, yeah, yeah.
So, and that leads to,
can take all the time off
and be as, you know,
on point as I want to be
Which is very on point
Since I've wanted to be a dad
Since I was very young
You're blessed with having
An in-house
Childminder
Yes
One that
Again
See
Cullen's one of the ones
I was saying this to Cara
I'm like
I'm not going to make Cullen
Clean up the
No but you'll be like
Keep an eye on her
While I pop for a shit
Aye
It means that you've got
Eyes on the baby yeah yeah
just make sure it doesn't fall off of that thing just like yeah just put your just pin it down
just put it down if it's on its front just push its back down and just make sure it doesn't go
it's just struggling they sweat on now he's used up all his strength
he's cussing he's about to tap if if
if Colin's not there
what we'll do is
we'll just get those
like little five kilo weights
from the pellet on
and I'll just put it over
the baby's wrists
just make sure it stays
in one place
if you get a really strong
fridge magnet
you can just stick
at least one hand
to the fridge
just by the back
baby grow
fridge magnet
yeah yeah
look some people
will hang one of those
bouncy things
from inside doorways
but I think just strong-ass magnet,
back of the head, back of the head,
back of the hood, onto a fridge.
What a great fucking time.
Yeah, we're going.
Bish, bash, bosh.
Colin's your uncle.
And then our tactic is to just get...
Since we're at, like, maybe not for you,
but with us and, like, our our friendship group like where some
of the earlier dominoes to go uh-huh like i feel like yeah not me blithe mates no you're like last
to go i'm last out of them out of comics you've had like a couple that like jumped the gun
my low my loan mark got off the blocks like yeah didn't they were like dominoes are tip but like didn't
knock any other dominoes
aye
they were like
but but
they were like
whoa whoa
hey
none of us are ready
for this game
we're just gonna
we're just using our baby
as incentive
incentive
for other people
who have babies
just so everyone else
so we're not missing out
on the other life
that everyone else has got
so we can be like
oh good
we're all entering
in this together.
Thankfully, Brett and Mari are already there.
Great.
Maxwell Soraya already there.
Like, we've got...
We're definitely pressuring Gareth.
And objectively.
And it's good because his missus is very, very clucky.
Very clucky.
Clucky.
Clucky.
It's like...
Is the clucky mean, like, they're roosting?
No, ready to have kids. Clucky? Clucky. It's like, like, like, Is the clucky mean like, they're roosting? Aye,
ready to have a,
ready to have kids,
like.
Clucking for a fucking?
Clucking for a,
that's what it comes from,
yeah,
yeah,
yeah.
Is it?
No.
Natalie,
you were putting pressure on us
and we ended up with a class dog,
so thanks for that.
Well, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
We didn't even,
that was Natalie's instant reaction to Cara.
Natalie's reaction to Cara being pregnant
was my favourite
because it was the most real one that we had.
Most people were just like,
oh my God, congratulations.
And Natalie was like, what?
Are you okay?
Really?
Are we keeping it?
What's the ha?
You?
Now? Why? Now?
Why?
She reacted like you pranged your car.
She gave you the, like, you've just drenched your car,
and you're like, was it your fault?
Yeah.
Have you got insurance for this?
Are you covered?
Yeah, would you get some kind of compensation?
Like, how are you going to,
why are you telling us if you just intend on killing it?
Like, couldn't you have just, is there anything we can do?
Oh, no, can we get a dog?
All right, just, is there anything we can do? Can we get a dog? Just one hand there.
The sleep is going to be shite.
I want to ask you about that,
about not just the sleep,
but your own personal entertainment, right?
Like, have you had this purge at the moment
where you're like,
I need to get computer games out of my system.
I need to like play a different, like, because you've got all these hobbies that you like to do yeah are
you are you just realizing that they're going to get stripped right back to make room in your life
yeah like yeah like i i'm aware that well man to be honest my hobbies are playing xbox which again
i really only play fucking fifa with c, and then I'll occasionally play Halo Online with friends.
So that'll come back, that'll go back,
or all of those games
will have to be in like 45 minute increments
just while the kids are sleeping. I'm like, Cullen,
quick, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I was actually thinking about you because with Natalie
being off work, we've made just loads of plans
together because this is a very unique situation
where both of us are off, and
despite Natalie's actions, we're not broke, right? So we're both of us are off yeah and despite natalie's
actions we're not broke yeah right so we're both off together the world's open it's like
it's not the covid restrictions that it was a while back even though natalie worked all the
way through that more than most um we're off together right so we've made all these plans
together and i'm addicted to a computer game with them and you know it's like when you're
fucking hooked on something you need to get back to it like it's almost like
there's this invisible
fucking bungee cord
on your back
pulling you to the
fucking couch
so you can have another
run at this game right
it's the game's Hades
I talked about it last week
and I keep like
I get up in the morning
with in mind
I want to get on that game
and then
we'll have breakfast
we'll walk the dog
we'll get in
and we're like
should we watch a Ted Lasso
we'll watch some Ted Lasso
and then you go,
should we get another one?
And I'm looking at my watch,
I'm going,
it's like one o'clock now
and I haven't played
my computer game
that I want to play yet.
And they were like,
should we have lunch?
And we'll have lunch
and then it gets to a point
where Natalie will end up
going to their workout
or something
and I'll just go
and play on Hades
because I don't want to go,
by the way,
and now we've got
all these plans
and we're off together
but I'm just going to ignore you
and play on my computer game the whole time. Right, right i don't we don't have that problem at all
well she works yeah so kind of works from home i used to just go on one that he was at work
aye so so during the day i'm used to playing well because god is busy so so i'll just be playing my
computer games uh or reading the moment i'm rereading because this is the type of fucking
person i am i'm rereading the type of fucking person I am
I'm re-reading The Wheel of Time
in a dirty protest for how fucking shite the show is
and also because I read it
when I read it the first time I was just so desperate to get through it
like I was just so desperate to find out what happened
now re-reading it is way more enjoyable
you're picking up more stuff
you're watching the character development a bit more
so
and man, Kara can't do anything at the moment like we went
swimming the other day just because that's good for her and we went on a walk yesterday because
that's good for her but cara's not able to do much stuff so most of what we're doing during the day
is just sitting on the couch i'm reading she's watching grey's anatomy and then occasionally
i'll pop off to the other room to go play fifa for a bit or i'll go to
the shops to pick up stuff or i'll start making dinner so we're all we are already boring cunts
like we're boring enough to be new parents and nobody is duller than new parents they're the
dullest dullest cunts in the world that's why we've got to swap you out the podcast for a month
just just an entire podcast of me showing pictures of my child be like we've got to swap you out with the podcast for a month. I don't want to lose all my followers. I know.
Just an entire podcast
of me showing pictures
of my child.
And it looks like
he's smiling there,
but he's not smiling.
He's actually doing a poo.
Anyway, I've got loads of these.
Hold on.
Hold on.
It's coming up.
Hold on.
Hold on.
That's him with the cat.
Hold on.
Hold on.
I must have lost it.
We're already prepared
to be boring enough
and
man
again
babies
as long as
when they're awake
and they're happy
and by happy
I mean just not fucking crying
you sort of pay attention
you do everything
you can to get into sleep
and then aye
I'll just have
audio books
capture their moments
but that may be
when you want to sleep
because I
maybe
I do feel like
but I'm the king of napping man
I can fall asleep
yeah you can
I can fall asleep
fucking anywhere
for any length of period
so
you know
but it's mainly going to be
I mean I don't know
it's going to be
cleaning up stuff
because I think like
when the baby's asleep
that's when she needs to be asleep
because she has to be awake
when the baby's awake
because she's the one
that can feed it
and that's only if
the baby's breastfed
if it's not breastfed
for any of the number of reasons
that you might not be able to breastfeed, then it
might be easier to put her to bed because I'll be able to do bottle
shifts and whatnot. But then also
the other thing as well is there's just so many
unknowns at this point. Like we
just, we have no idea how good the birth's going to be.
We have no idea how long the recovery's going to be.
Like it could be, man you could
she could go into labour, like we could walk out you couldn't she could go into labour like we could walk out
right now and her water could have
broken and we could
go to the hospital and she could give birth
in under three hours and if everything was
healthy I could in theory
be back at the house tonight
with a baby that is absolutely a possibility
the other possibility is the baby's
like a week late like on the
23rd of February
and at that point
they're like
we have to cut this thing
out of her
they cut it out of her
then we have to stay
in the hospital
for an extra bit
whilst she recovers
and then when we come home
the recovery's way different
because she had her
fucking insides ripped out
like
I always
I don't know if I've said this
before on the pod
but I always feel like
they turn the women
out of the hospital
far too soon
far too soon.
Far too soon.
Like, if that had happened to your body under any other circumstances
than having a child,
they'd keep you in there
and monitor you for fucking weeks.
Man, something's just been pulled out
of your insides
through your flesh.
Man, you have to set a fucking driving test
before they let you drive away in a car.
Whereas you just give birth
and they're like go be a parent don't raise a murderer or a racist or a cunt and you're like
with what training they're like did you watch the three videos we sent you and you're like what
percentage could get this wrong and you're like most of them look at people yeah yeah
how many people how many people How many people do you hate?
Most of them.
Right.
Now, it took two worse people to make that fucking cunt.
75% of humanity, 75% of parents have failed at being fucking parents.
So good luck.
Welcome to the lottery.
And also, by the way, even with your best efforts,
even with your best efforts, you still might just have a cunt.
Some of those
just exist
you could be the
greatest parents
in the world
and you could still
be a little
fucking shitebag
because of chemicals
or whatever
fucking teacher they get
or whatever friends
they fucking hang out with
just some early experience
that you
that you had nothing
to do with
maybe you were two
maybe you were two there
maybe you were two
on the ball
with the baby all the time
and then when they were kids you were always there for them.
And then they just didn't get any fucking independence.
Now they think when they cry that that's the centre of the fucking universe
and that everything should stop.
You taught them empathy, but now you've actually made them too empathetic.
Now they don't have the ability to tell people that are being bad to them
not to be fucking bad to them.
They don't have any self-respect.
You failed.
Also, here's one for you that's going to blow your mind.
You see some bad parents accidentally get it right.
Yeah, oh God.
And what's worse is they think.
They think that was their fault.
Right?
Some parents do such a shitty job
that these kids go,
I'm never going to be like my parents.
And because of that, turn out to be sound.
And those parents are like,
I raised a good kid.
Yeah, motherfucker.
You were the fucking example
that millionaire rapper
who had an axe
to grind
Eminem
aye
look where you went
yeah
aye
I'm sure other rappers
have bad parents
they live at home
with both parents
your real name
is Clarence
it's 8 mile
oh ok
he's battle rapping
against somebody
who has a good upbringing.
When he's good against Falcon.
Who I funded, he's just a fucking straight up misogynist.
Doesn't even try and sugarcoat it.
Like, is a women belong in the kitchen kind of guy.
Yeah.
He was on some American TV show where he was just like,
baby, you've got to make me a sandwich.
And I was like, man, that is a bold attitude to have.
But then again, there's enough Americans that you can say anything anywhere
and at least 4% of them will agree with you.
You know what?
I've got a strong theory that the 40-hour work week is for one working person
and the other person is to support the working person.
If one person is working for 40 hours, they should get paid enough to make rent,
pay for the holders, feed the kids.
And the other person should be fucking doing all the household chores
and getting the kids to school.
It doesn't necessarily have to be gender specific.
It just means that you have to split.
And one person goes and grafts all the time.
And then that means when they're back, they're not cooking and cleaning and stuff.
But for some reason, society has accepted that two people work for 40 hours. and one person goes and grafts all the time and then that means when they're back, they're not cooking and cleaning and stuff.
But for some reason, society has accepted that two people work for 40 hours.
Aye.
And then that is just enough to pay for the bills.
That should mean that you've got enough to pay the bills
and then enough to pay the bills again
if two people are working.
And then you're just fucking knackered
because no one's there to keep the house.
So I think that model
that 40 hour work week model
is built for one person at home
like being a caddy
being a life caddy for that person
But that person isn't necessarily
the broad
The mistake is it's just being flung at women
Aye
And that's where it fucked up
Just have a little ponder on that one.
Oh, well.
But that's what fucking Falcon reckons he's last should do anyway.
Just because she's a woman, not for the societal implications.
Well, I think it's just like I'm earning such a big bit of cash at the moment,
like your job is to do that automatically. You're like, man, there's other ways to pitch that to me. That's what I'm looking for in a partner of cash at the moment like your job is to do that automatically
you're like man there's other ways to pitch that's what I'm looking for in a partner you're like read
the room though but also also by the way just so you know that when you're in when you're in a toxic
relationship and you don't like it that's on you if you're looking for that type of person that's
like I'm fine with that attitude they're also they're going yeah yeah but they're going to have some of
those outlandish
opinions of
you know
well I'll just
get to spend
all of your money
on all this
fucking random
shit that only
I want like
shoes and you
can't be mad
because you know
that real fucking
70s sitcom shit
American sitcom
aye
imagine
Natalie was
watching something
the other day
while I was
playing on my
computer game
with her from
Schitt's Creek in it
which one
Alexa
aye
and
I forget what it's called
but the way she explained it
it was like
it's one of them
misogynistic American sitcoms
but then when he leaves
it just snaps to reality
and she fucking
hates her life or something
oh
so like
it made us think of
WandaVision a little bit
but I don't think it is like that.
But it's, like, where, like, it just shows you, like,
how you would be if you...
I'm going to watch it, but you pitched it as that.
But we don't know what it's called.
I'm really...
Aye.
I shouldn't have brought it up.
No, you shouldn't have.
Like, it was funny because I was listening to the podcast
on the way here, the one you're doing with Cullen,
and people almost get so angry at home.
You know, like, when you're talking about the baby you've done with Colin. And people must get so angry at home. You know, like when you were talking
about the baby from Nirvana being dead.
Aye.
And then somebody commented on the thing
and he was in the news like literally this year
for trying to sue them.
Oh, we knew the baby from Nirvana wasn't dead.
Oh, okay.
That was a bit.
Oh, right, okay.
Oh, because it drowned, yeah, of course.
And then was it not Little John
that was in Cooking by the Book?
Yeah.
Little Wayne.
Was it Little Wayne? It was Little Wayne. Not Little John? No, it not Little John that was in Cooking by the Book yeah Little Wayne was it Little Wayne
it was Little Wayne
not Little John
no it was Little Wayne
okay
so you've
right
so you were getting
wrong
annoyed at the podcast
we did
aye
right
are you gaslighting me
is it not Little John
no it's Little Wayne
yeah
yeah
that's Little Wayne's like
I could bring it up
and show you
aye please do
because I've been Mandela Aye please do Because I've been
Mandela affected
If it's
I've been absolutely
Fucking Mandela affected
If it's Little Wayne
Because I
I could have swore
It was Little John
They're like
Okay
Like that guy
Okay
Yeah
Little Wayne's like
Like
You're like a lollipop guy
Little Wayne
Cooking by the book
Play it
Oh no it is Lil John
Oh thank fucking god
Thank fucking god
Hold on
Where is he
Is that him
Wait no that's
For fuck's sake
Play it
It's class
Well no but I'm not gonna
Play it on fucking this
Why
Who's gonna sue you It's not about su. It's class. Well, no, but I'm not going to play it on fucking this. Why?
Who's going to sue you?
It's not about suing.
It's about fucking content.
This cunt.
Him.
That little John.
Aye.
Little John, aye.
Which one's Little Wayne then?
Little Wayne's like a scrawny guy.
I never used to like him, but then I would go... Fuck, I'm being racist.
I've got...
Fuck.
You'll recognise Little Wayne when you see him.
He's a scrawny
little guy
hold on
is that
oh my god
I am a racist
fuck
thank fuck
for that
man
I've
like for the first time
in my life
even looking at photos
I can't believe
those are two different people
that's mad
because I've been
I've been fucking
wrong so many times
lately
that like
I just accept that I'm wrong.
But on that one, I was willing to just concede it
and just go, oh, look, I'm just bouncing between universes.
Every time I'm fucking wrong, I'm just being Mandela-affected
and I'm just fucking bouncing.
It's definitely not that, and it's definitely drug damage.
But on that one...
It was, little John, fair enough.
I'm glad I stuck by my guns.
I've just found out I'm definitely a bigot
Aye
Aye
That's not good
Well mind you
I could put it down to the fact
That I'm just a white person
That does not pay much attention
To rap
But then
It happens to me
With football quite a bit
Aye
Where like
Jacob Merfield
Scorn
I think it was Isaac Hayden
Because like
But it
It just feels like it's racism
But it's just an honest mistake
A lot of the time
Like if that was like
Sean Lungstaff scoring
You're going
Oh I thought it was
John Joe Shelby
Yeah that common mistake
Yeah John Joe Shelby
Is a very common looking man
No I remember the I can't be able to remember
There was the
Arsene Wenger's 1000th game in charge
Where they got battered
Yeah they got battered
6-1 by Chelsea
Samuel Lillard and Salah on the fucking score sheet
Along with Andre Schurl
But that was the one where
I think like Oxlade-Chamberlain made a tackle
but Theo Walcott
it wasn't Theo Walcott
it was
Kieran Gibbs
Gibbs
Kieran Gibbs
he booked the wrong
black guy
and set him off
and stuck with it
even when like
Chelsea players were like
hey buddy
just let you know
it was definitely
the other guy
referee's like
nah nah motherfucker
I never make
mistakes i'm a premier league referee get off the fucking absolutely mind-boggling how the
fuck does that look look innocent mistake sure sure it's an innocent mistake but it's one of
those innocent mistakes that when 20 professionals go hey buddy you got that wrong
you go
whoopsie daisy
get him back out
if you stick to your guns
then
your job is over forever
because that's you
just being
like logic doesn't
come into it
it's all about me
it's all about my
fucking ego
my fucking personality
my decision is final
even if my decision
is fucking wrong
because I'm the referee
and what the referee says
he should never have
refereed again after that
or he should have just been like
look I need to
take a good hard look
at myself
I didn't think I was racist
but maybe there is
like
it's not racism
but it's
just wheel out like
anti-racism
is spotting racism
within yourself
and just in this moment
I've spotted racism
within myself
and I need to have a look
at that
I need to do some
introspective
and he should have took that angle
did he just put his head in the sand?
Yeah he did
and you know what
you're very right
I should take a look at myself
so I'm going to spend this time
working at the differences
between little one
little John and little Wayne
right so little Wayne's got face tattoos
and
little John is the one with the grills
oh I think they've both got grills I think little Wayne has gold teeth what's the one with the grills I think they both got grills
I think Little Wayne has gold teeth
what's the difference?
the grill's not like the fucking kind of full
oh for fuck's sake
actually I don't even know now
but did you see David James
getting away with racism
by being black
no
he was on the TV
the African Cup of Nations
is going to mess up
a lot of teams
because you've got
oh who was the
player
he went
Mo Salah
Mane
and then he said
a Belgian
oh right
I don't know if he said
like Uri Tielemans
or something
Lukaku
is Divock Origi
Belgian
I don't know
I think so
Because that would make sense
Because it was another
Liverpool
It would have been another Liverpool player
But he just rhymed off
Three players that were playing
In the African Cup of Nations
And he just went
Mane
Mo Salah
Just any other black guy
Saka
Good job you're black David James
Because that would
Yeah
That would have been
real cold
coming from Jeff Stellan
meanwhile the black community
has been like
by the way
David James is
he's more white today
he's
I know
look
look hey
he's still one of our brothers
but just to let you know
he took a big step
towards Caucasian today
a big
crap
step
towards Caucasian just like hey big crap step towards Caucasian.
Just like, hey, no, no, hey, hey, I'm on his side still.
But he's starting to smell a little bit like milk.
That's all I'm saying.
He also watched The Crown.
Just take that as you will.
Just take that as you will.
I'm just like, you know, David.
The Crown can't dance.
Cannot dance. that as you will I'm just like you know David loves the crowd can't dance cannot dance before we
wrap this
up
2022
fucking
hopefully it's not
what was the year
when all the celebrities
died and it was shite
2016
when will you end
aye
Bob Saget's dead
Daniel you fucking you said. Daniel, you fucking,
you said on this podcast,
you fucking jinxed a lot of people to death.
Jinxed it last year.
You said no comedians have died in a while.
Aye.
And we'll ponder over who was the last one.
The answer was Incognito,
but I think we'll come up with Patrice O'Neill.
Yes, aye.
Or Greg Giraldo.
Greg Giraldo.
And it was like you were casting back
to find a dead comedian
and like we said
we overlooked
we overlooked one
yeah
and we probably overlooked
some other ones
that we missed
but then

like Sean Locke

Phil Gerrard
now Bob Saget
like man
how
how are we gonna
undo the curse
before I die
eh
it's okay
fine fine fine
no
it's been a while
since a footballer died.
Oh my God.
I can't break the curse
to deflect the curse.
It's been a while
since a British podcaster died.
It's been a while
since someone from Love Island
killed themselves.
No, fuck!
It's been a while.
It's been a while since a baby died
No fuck no shit
It's been a while since a dog died
Nope
Why would you do that
It's been a while since we died on stage
I
I'll take a bomb
To keep people alive
When Newcastle
Got beat off Cambridge
I felt all day
Like I'd bombed on stage
You know that feeling
You get after bombing
Aye
The feeling that you get after
Eating a
Eating a dick
On stage
Dirty
I felt that
For just less than
24 hours
When Arsenal
Got put out by
Nottingham Forest
And then I felt
Fucking fantastic Aye Especially because It was their fucking Youngsters as well The ones that Just less than 24 hours when Arsenal got put out by Nottingham first and then I felt fucking fantastic.
Especially because
it was their fucking
youngsters as well.
The ones that they like.
The ones that they like.
These are the saviour
of the club.
The only thing
about youngsters
is they're inconsistent
of football
back to Bob Saget.
Man gutted.
Well I'd never got the pleasure
of actually meeting him
in person.
But he'd reached out to you.
He'd read your book
off his own accord
he loved it, gave you a quote
for it, brought you on his podcast to help promote
the bloke
who'd been someone you'd
looked up to in your field
had handpicked you
and kind of started nurturing you
and was just very kind
with message and say nice things
all the tributes to him were just people,
everyone was just going, he was the nicest man in the world
and he loved his kids.
He was the nicest man in the world and he loved his kids.
And whether those were his actual real-life kids
or, like, the kids that he was the parents of in, like, TV shows,
he was still in contact with Kat Jennings and the Mary Kate and Ashley.
I didn't know he was the voice of How I Met Your Mother.
Aye.
Aye, I found out this morning.
Aye.
He was also, again,
if nobody has seen
The Aristocrats, you have to
go on Amazon Prime, find
it illegally, wherever you, I don't know, I know the
person who made The Aristocrats, so don't stream it illegally.
You'll be able to find it in a place
on Amazon
or if you're in America, I imagine it's on HBO
or something like that. It's called The Aristocrats.
If you don't know the concept of it, there is a joke that is famous amongst comedians
because there are a thousand ways to tell it.
And the funnier it is, the comedy comes from how you tell it, the story you create behind it.
It's been done on TV.
It's been done on South Park.
South Park, I've done it.
And The Aristocrats, the movie by the wonderful Paul Provenza
and Bob Saget
is one of the opening ones on it because Bob Saget
was such a family, he was always seen as
family friendly because he did all these
he did
he was the voice of or the host of
America's Funny Videos, he was the dad in
Full House, he was always this clean comic
but when you read his autobiography Dirty Daddy
which is excellent
you know he was always this clean comic but when you read his autobiography Dirty Daddy which is excellent you know he was always he just liked saying
fucking horrible things that he
didn't mean because that was you know
that's funny
he I forgot my
point here. Your point is that
he's died. I know
that he's died I don't think that was my point
You're doing like a little eulogy like
if you didn't need to
take me off that's who the guy is to me. Well no I know that he's died, I don't think that was my point. You were doing like a little eulogy, like if you didn't need to, you didn't need to tip her off.
You're going to think,
that's who the guy is to me.
Well, no, no,
he loved his kids,
that was it.
Thank you.
Right, loved his kids,
loved his real life kids
and his fake kids.
Every single tribute
you're going to see online,
so I can't add anything new to it.
I didn't know the man
as well as other people do,
but I can say,
as somebody that was,
you know,
especially new to the comedy scene,
in America,
and,
you know,
it's not a place where I live,
or even perform regularly.
I remember a point,
it was that he was like,
he was a very palatable,
family friendly guy,
and then an aristocrat,
so he fucking crossed the line.
Yes.
He didn't cross the line,
but like,
showed a different side of him.
Aye,
aye,
well showed the real side of him.
And no,
that's the thing about Bob,
was both sides of him
were fucking true.
Real.
Yeah,
he had decorum.
He had decorum.
He could switch it on
for the family
and he could like,
Ganford would be out
the back with the adults.
Yeah.
But The Aristocrats
was the first documentary
where I think on television
that he'd ever fucking
taken that step
and he was like,
this could get me
in serious trouble, Paul,
because, you know,
I'm this family friendly guy.
The Aristocrats is a very, very good documentary.
I'm going to watch it later on today,
just to remind myself of him.
So, yeah, sad, shy, not good news.
Sorry to end on that note, but one in, one out.
There's a baby coming.
Quicker than your milk runs out.
Well, I can't, because Colin keeps making jokes
that he thinks the baby should be called Bob Sloss,
because that's the name of a plumber
Bob Sloss
Bob Sloss Plumming
Plumming
Not because of Bob Ross
No I guess that
Well you didn't say that bit at all
You've been making that joke
I didn't make the joke
Callan made the joke
But you didn't even
Even when he made that joke
Kill me either
Have you completed the
No
Because
Like you know when somebody makes a shite joke
And you're not joining in on the bit at all
And you just palm it away
