Starting point is 00:03:26 I do that all the time, Mark. I feel like my whole life is in the fucking, you know, that Gooch of the Year. It sounds like an award. It sounds like an award for the Gooch of the Year. Kanye's already won this year. Kanye's already won this year I saw you take the piss With them people on social media The ones that
Starting point is 00:03:51 Act like they don't know what day it is It's the most annoying thing Let's put it in context It happens around a bit You call the Gooch Period Between Boxing day context um it happens around a bit chris is that that you call the gooch period the period between a basically boxing day and hogman a new year's eve and uh people always going oh god if you if you'd have gone to my head i couldn't tell you what day of the year or what day of the week it
Starting point is 00:04:19 is and you're going you're typing this on the phone it tells you in the front of it, you stupid cunt. Stop trying to fucking create this maniac fucking crazy lifestyle you have. I'm mad, mate. I'm absolutely mad. I don't know how my head works. So, we just did that one. It's Monday, isn't it? And you were like, ah, it's Monday. And then I was about to start the podcast.
Starting point is 00:04:39 And then just before we pressed record, I'm like, it's fucking Thursday. I just live in a perpetual state of a muggle june gooch yeah it's because we don't have well you'll have less of a structured life than me especially when you're not on tour because you've got the school route actually tour is a bit more um it's hard to engage on tour because the it's weekendless it's every day is like it's an event even the people that are on tuesday fill in the venue it's an event i suppose you're just going by dates as well you're not going by the days so yeah so i i get a lot more discombobulated then but now that
Starting point is 00:05:19 i'm just back doing the clubs they came up up right on weekends. Yeah. And I'm back home where my wife's at work during the week. Yeah. So I can differentiate easier between the weekend and the midweek. I can. But, like, days of the week just blend into one. Like, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, they've got a real difference. But I was at the Glasgow stand this weekend, just gone, and I had a real fucking moment
Starting point is 00:05:47 where they've come at me fast, where, do you know Thomas Elgin? Thomas Elvin? Thomas Elvin. Big lads, aye. Scottish comic, he's on doing the short spot
Starting point is 00:06:01 in the stand, he's class, he was banging on that spot, right? And he walked in on the second night, so I gigged with him on the first night, the Stanis class he was banging on that spot right and he walked in on the second night so I gigged with him on the first night the second night he walks in
Starting point is 00:06:09 and he just does a big stretch and when he's stretching he goes by the power of Grayskull right and I went how the fuck
Starting point is 00:06:18 do you know the power of Grayskull right and I was just like how do you know he man and he just went oh me mum loves it
Starting point is 00:06:24 oh no oh Jesusesus oh man it was just like you could just see the bullets hitting me chest spread against the well like fucking it fucking it hit us like gunfire because it doesn't seem like that long ago at all since i was with tom stayed and he asked me if I knew Rush the band yeah and I was like oh my dad loves Rush
Starting point is 00:06:49 and I watched I watched the bullets hit Tom yeah and I was like oh that fucking bullet fire came back real
Starting point is 00:06:58 fucking quick yeah there's a hell of a difference between your dad and Tom liking Rush though why the fuck does his mum like he-man like it's such a bizarre fandom to have like because because my dad still plays
Starting point is 00:07:14 rush around the house it's not like it's not like my generation just still periodically put he-man yeah yeah i and his mum was she constantly getting He-Man on in the house? Like, it's like, what, it seems my sister's called Battle Cat after. Green and yellow cat waxing with a saddle on. Oco's running around and Chul's running around
Starting point is 00:07:37 the house. Oco? Oco, where's Oco? Oco's up the wee furry thing. Ah, yeah. Fairy? You're thinking of Snarf from Funeral Cats? I'm thinking of Snarf, aye. was Ogre Ogre's that wee like wizard furry thing yeah fairy you're thinking of
Starting point is 00:07:47 Snarf I'm thinking of Snarf sorry I am so I am which is actually like the fucking like the
Starting point is 00:07:53 drawn parallels with each other with that weren't they yeah they were like oh we need a little fuckwit that's gonna kick around
Starting point is 00:07:59 yeah because Mumra was Thundercats Mumra was the Skeletor fucking hell they're the same show they're the same show yeah they're exactly the same show Because Mum Ra was Thundercats. Mum Ra was the Skeletor. Fucking hell, they're the same show. They're the same show, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:09 They're exactly the same show. Pat Throws Man At Arms. Yeah, it's exactly the same show. Wait, no. Wait, what a fucking rip-off. Which one was first? I'm going to say He-Man was first. He-Man, I'm fairly certain He-Man was first. And then somebody was like,
Starting point is 00:08:25 I've got a better idea. He-Man was first. He-Man, I'm fairly certain He-Man was first. And then somebody was like, yeah, I've got a better idea. He-Man with cats. Here is who, here is who, He-Man with cats. Instead of Oakwood, we'll have Snarf. Man-at-Arms is going to be a panther. Not the panther as you think of it, bald and grey. You know, nothing like a panther.
Starting point is 00:08:42 You know, nothing. You know, the panther, the black, sleek animals. Nothing like that. Grey. You know how they're panther? They're black, sleek animals. Not like that. Grey, spiky shoulder pads. Nothing like a panther. Why do we never query the fact that Panthro wasn't a panther? Yeah, that's true. Panthro was, at best...
Starting point is 00:09:02 At best, he was one of them like kind of Egyptian cats that I've got yeah what's the ones with no eye what are they called sphinx is it sphinx
Starting point is 00:09:09 cats um something I don't know they've probably got like a more sophisticated name but I think we
Starting point is 00:09:17 just got an eye sphinx cat eye the ones that look like ornaments they're weird those things Marlena had two
Starting point is 00:09:23 remember that yeah our agent had two of these sphinx cats and they used to used to just cut cut about the house like they were haunting
Starting point is 00:09:32 the place because you can't stroke them because you're just stroking skin you can but it's like it's like stroking a bald head
Starting point is 00:09:39 yeah yeah yeah you can stroke them but it's like using an eight ball yeah yeah weird looking fucking things I think they were Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You can stroke them, but it's like using an air ball. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:48 Ah, weird looking fucking things. I think they were going to make a He-Man, because they did make a He-Man film with Dolph Lundgren. It was He-Man. So they did. It was going to be Schwarzenegger, though. I felt like it was a sci-fi. Did it have spaceships in that?
Starting point is 00:10:02 Yeah, yeah, I was fairly... But was He-Man not quite sci-fi? I can't imagine. My that? Yeah, yeah, that was fairly. But was He-Man not quite sci-fi? I can't imagine. My lack of knowledge of He-Man, I thought it was a lot stronger than that. Because I'm nothing like Thomas Alvin's man. I left it in the past. I'm even still wheeling out, you know.
Starting point is 00:10:18 I've got guests around. Come on, watch He-Man. Because he must have, she must have used that expression in the house at some point. Oh, the same way my mum would have went,
Starting point is 00:10:32 give me strength. Yeah. Give me strength. By the power of Grayskull, will you two stop fighting? Oh, that's funny, man. Hi. How were the gigs?
Starting point is 00:10:47 Were they good? Class. Hi. Really good. A couple of chatterboxes, but no offensive. I remember seeing Nick Revel do a line before where I couldn't tell if it was his line off, it was he was using stock.
Starting point is 00:11:07 But I haven't seen it enough, I haven't seen it like since to know that it was stock. So I'll credit Nick Revel, but it might be stock. Where he said to somebody, you're just enjoying yourself too much. It's like, it's not that the way, the way in the field, you know, when they respond to a talk or a thing, he's like, it's hard to put way the way you know when they respond yeah yeah yeah he's like
Starting point is 00:11:25 it's hard to put you down because you're just enjoying yourself but you're enjoying yourself too much it's like you know if I was to have a shit in a public
Starting point is 00:11:33 swimming pool I'd really enjoy it but everybody else would have to get out yeah that's nice and I thought it was a fucking delta lake
Starting point is 00:11:41 yeah that is good and it was that it was that level of like I kinda it was this lassie in Yeah, that is good. And it was that level of like, I kind of, it was this lassie in the front row that was with her daughter. And her name was Terry. And I had a bit about pedo Terry that used to live on me estate.
Starting point is 00:11:57 You heard us do that bit. It's fairly new. It's a new bit. I'll tell you the bit. It's a bit where I'll tell you the bit it's it's it's a bit where I talk about the word estate is a different word depending on
Starting point is 00:12:10 your class depending on your class right so if I said to a posh person I started hanging around with some lads on the other side of the estate they'd be like
Starting point is 00:12:20 oh well you're hunting guinea fowl yeah it's abundant this season yeah you've got land and I'm like nah mate I've been pelting eggs at pedo terry's kitchen window and then and then uh you know what's what's actually funny about this joke right
Starting point is 00:12:35 the only thing that's a joke about it is i've changed his name from jerry to protect the innocent to protect him because I didn't think he was a pedo that's where the joke ends when I look back on my childhood we called him that but I didn't think he was
Starting point is 00:12:51 and I've got more on that I've got more on why we called him that which I'll not which I'll not yeah fuck it all episodes they'll have to come
Starting point is 00:12:57 to me Glasgow Comedy Festival show on the 13th of March for the rest of that joke but I changed his name to Terry this last one was in the front row it was called terry and she like it was almost like saying her name activated her yeah
Starting point is 00:13:10 yeah yeah oh my name is terry i'm on i'm part of this show so it just meant that i had like i had to use the like the gig was kind of classic for like for the rest of the audience no it didn't derail in any way but it just meant that you had to be using different gears in your head all right you're going through the bit going right this might not have the momentum that it needs to get the end of it all right because i'm gonna have to put out this little fire that keeps coming yeah if i pour too much on the fire that they they take credit for the laughs that's the thing yeah if you can get a big laugh off shutting them up they're like look what we did we we got a big laugh. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:13:45 yeah, yeah, it's a team effort. It's a team effort and they get cocky and they put it in so there's like that fine line
Starting point is 00:13:49 between like putting them down and getting a laugh off them and making them know they're not part of a team. Aye, aye.
Starting point is 00:13:55 So it was, there was a bit of that but aye, the gigs were lush. Ah, nice. Because you didn't get much of that opening
Starting point is 00:14:03 for Danny. No. In theatres. You don't, you don't get, no, you don't get anybody. that opening for Danny no in theatres you don't you don't get no you don't get anybody do you compare it
Starting point is 00:14:08 you don't really get drunks like I haven't dealt with drunks in a while fuck aye it'll be a different skill
Starting point is 00:14:13 people will have a drink yeah but they're not drunks yeah yeah because especially even
Starting point is 00:14:18 you're good on the airwaves in the show often it's like a seven o'clock kick off and I'm on first
Starting point is 00:14:24 so like in Israel this is the stand as well so it's not even a hard one in Israel skills I developed when I was coming through doing junglers
Starting point is 00:14:33 in the hyena remember the hyena oh Christ yeah yeah holy shit like that was the bear pit yeah so you develop them skills but it was like
Starting point is 00:14:41 when I was on I was like oh I'm gonna need the old tools aye aye I know let's get the van I know you know you're measuring up a job you're like i didn't bring them tools let's just go back chipping concrete off it just i wonder if that still works i think you're feeling the weight of it and i remember this old thing like i was good with this used to know me where i run this see when you're doing gigs in like i mean I imagine I know the answer to America
Starting point is 00:15:05 but when you're doing gigs in Europe and stuff do folk do you notice a difference in the drinking attitudes of the audience em you know what
Starting point is 00:15:14 because I've never done club gigs I've never done club gigs out there but even like even like the tour shows would tour audiences here
Starting point is 00:15:23 drink more than they would in like Latvia and fucking It's hard to say, it feels like it feels like the Americans are a bit more drunk but not because they interfere in anything like that Because they can't drink
Starting point is 00:15:36 They've had one beer You know what, I've got a bit more respect for the Americans drinking now now that I know what they constitute as a shot. Right, because they get three pours. The three pour, the shots, and you get like a full, like normally you would be like, wait, that would also be with a mixer.
Starting point is 00:15:55 Yeah. To give you like a, so. Ah, right, right, right, yeah. Whereas we have shots, we'll have like a certain measure of a shot, which means that you could go out and you go, oh, I had fucking 10 shots last night. Right. And it feels like a lot of shots, but if you out and you go I had fucking 10 shots last night and it feels like a lot of shots
Starting point is 00:16:06 but if you go out to America and had 10 shots last night you're like you absolutely didn't have 10 of them I had 15 pints
Starting point is 00:16:14 of vodka you've spunk your load super early with the shots so I've got I think it's a myth that they kind of
Starting point is 00:16:22 drink because their portion control is wrong and I mean that counts for everything drink because their portion control is wrong and I mean that counts for everything with America your portion control is wrong
Starting point is 00:16:27 yeah you do everything in abundance I'm going to I'm going to Liverpool this weekend and every every year my brother
Starting point is 00:16:38 comes away with me for one weekend so it's a different city to pick Liverpool and it'll probably good choice it'll be the first time I think that I'll
Starting point is 00:16:46 I'll do shots in ages because it will be one of those nights where you go you didn't already do shots we'll just fucking go for it nah
Starting point is 00:16:54 because it's not really I don't know because I will take sometimes you've got audience members will come up and give you a shot after the show
Starting point is 00:17:01 and I'll take them as a as a courtesy but on but uh and i don't want to be rude yeah yeah i think i've got to drive back to glasgow six and a half hour drive for the road yeah the kids are in the car it's on fire the kids are in the car and i forgot to crack a window but okay but it is winter we winter but I know I wouldn't I wouldn't normally drink shots in and out. Are you actually going for it?
Starting point is 00:17:30 Probably will aye Aye and is your brother a big drinker? He can be aye aye when he's we've had some clack like we've done other cities we've done we did Cardiff the last time just pre Christmas before pandemic. That's a a shout that was a fucking
Starting point is 00:17:45 belter that's a city where I've lit up the beacon and took friends before where I've like went and been jolly mates I've been there with
Starting point is 00:17:53 Ricketts I've been there with Matty I'm like look lads I'm at Cardiff this weekend it's absolute class
Starting point is 00:17:57 this is the one you're going to want to jump on the gig's fucking exceptional the nightlife's mint it's a different game
Starting point is 00:18:03 it's a different game Cardiff on a night out it's It's a different game, it's a different game, Cardiff on a night out. Like, it's just, it's fucking feral. Aye. Like, it's proper.
Starting point is 00:18:09 Yeah, the people come in from the valleys and that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You can always,
Starting point is 00:18:14 you can always see them like marauders, just, and you get, you get absolute fucking, story junkies in Cardiff as well. Yeah, yeah, you do,

Starting point is 00:18:46 oh there's some absolute beasts and they're just the women the valley girls
Starting point is 00:18:55 they'll hit your legs up against the wall shaggy against the chin oh
Starting point is 00:19:01 but the Liverpool's another one It's a good night out Aye It should be good Working class cities How you notice the theme? The theme? The theme of like
Starting point is 00:19:16 Where's a good night out Aye aye It's the cities That are a bit more industrial Oh of course Aye Aye Because folk know
Starting point is 00:19:22 How to enjoy themselves I've got a theory About Pavements In different cities Right industrial. Oh, of course, aye. Because folk know how to enjoy themselves. I've got a theory about pavements in different cities, right? Do you know, you see when you're walking along in certain cities, and it's been raining, and the ground's really, really
Starting point is 00:19:35 slippy, I've noticed in like, what would be seen by some as shittier cities, like more working class cities, more drunken cities it's a lot more slippery than the rest of them I've never noticed this but I'm listening
Starting point is 00:19:52 Right, Glasgow and Newcastle are two perfect examples, right you walk along the street trainers with very little grip on them fucking all over the place, like Bambi right, whereas if you go to a place like Oxford fucking, you could honest to god you could run like you're stuck to the ground because it's like the rubber and i don't know of a racetrack i don't know whether it's just then you got the
Starting point is 00:20:15 end brand it's cobbled yeah yeah exactly i don't know whether it's i don't know if it's it's just the lack of facilities like i don't i don't know if they're not cleaned as well because not enough money's been put in it. Or if... Or they make it easy to wash vomit off. Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What, the streets are laminated? Or they might make it, like, it might be like a police measure.
Starting point is 00:20:41 If, like, some people can't make you get away. Can't run away police have got like special shoes that they wear that they put little plungers on them
Starting point is 00:20:50 little sticky like thousands of little tiny little sticky plungers on the bottom of their boots you can hear them
Starting point is 00:20:57 like when they're running everyone else jockeying on the spot like a Looney Tunes character little little little character legs just fucking circling around
Starting point is 00:21:08 trying to outrun the law and yeah you're going to go to a Liverpool match as well trying yeah I put out a desperate desperate plea this morning
Starting point is 00:21:22 to all scousers to say activate the lids from the have a win the lids yeah because I don't I don't even know
Starting point is 00:21:27 it's been so long since I've been to a premiership game I don't even know how easy it is to get tickets for those kind of things so Newcastle tickets
Starting point is 00:21:34 at the minute like the fly off the shelf like it sells you in every game regardless just because there's a fucking it's buoyant
Starting point is 00:21:41 because since Mike Ashley's gone and especially now we're hitting winning ways I had to sign up to a membership because I don't have
Starting point is 00:21:48 a season ticket so I didn't get the privileges but I signed up to a membership and you get 24 hour early access and I have to be there
Starting point is 00:21:54 at like 10 in the morning when it comes out to like get online tickets sat together I think that's even going to change
Starting point is 00:22:02 where I'm toying with getting a season ticket even though because of my job I'll not be able to go to every game and
Starting point is 00:22:09 sell me tickets on a weekly basis that I can go just so that I don't have to join a shit fight to get a seat for the match I'm thinking
Starting point is 00:22:19 about doing that me and my pal are looking at it but I know that I'm going to get the Wolves on the 8th of April and I'm going to have to be 10 o'clock in the morning
Starting point is 00:22:27 there on the dot on Tuesday coming. Yeah. So I don't know if you've got any Scouse mates who are a member. It might just be as easy as that. I know. I mean, I've got a good couple of feelers out now. Yeah. So my brother's got a couple.
Starting point is 00:22:44 He's found a couple of links as well contacts and I was got reduced to two per person so I can only buy two tickets it's not like I could buy a bunch of them so there's four of them going so two are going to be there looking for the same block at least getting the same
Starting point is 00:22:59 so we can have a pint together at half time do you remember that buying tickets for concerts and that was always what you had to do I'd be on at nine in the morning fucking
Starting point is 00:23:10 I used to do that work all the time it's a fucking buzz when you get them oh god yeah doesn't it feel class if you like oh absolutely
Starting point is 00:23:17 because I've I've gotten M&M tickets in the past when like in the fucking 2003 yeah yeah yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:23:24 when I've gotten a hold of them tickets, I've just felt like a fucking god. Oh, you're this year, weeks. I would say, like, you know, especially when you're younger as well, like other people's jealousies currency. Yeah. And you know it.
Starting point is 00:23:38 That's me. Is that you? That must be me, aye. Aye, because mine's not. It's Dean, I'll ring him back. Fucking, I forgot I had that turned up up I had that turned up from when we talked to Gav about his belly button
Starting point is 00:23:53 corned beef I'll get him back that's one of what many agents were in there we're so popular we've got nine fucking agents one of what many agents were in there yes what agents are going through a merger at the minute yep

It's got knee-natural light. No. It's fucking slap- talk about the Dublin flat, right? It's got knee-natural light. No.
Starting point is 00:24:47 It's fucking slap-bang in the city centre, right? So class. You're right in the middle of the city. Yeah. But it's on, if anybody... I shouldn't give away the destination. No, I wouldn't as well, I know. But it's down a back alley.
Starting point is 00:24:57 Yeah. A proper dodgy. A proper dodgy as fuck. I've never walked through it and not seen like people shooting up yeah yeah yeah yeah like you walk through it it's just
Starting point is 00:25:08 it's got activity in the doorways ah day anyone's bothering you on out but every like I didn't feel right when we last stayed
Starting point is 00:25:14 I know I didn't feel I wasn't okay with that no it was one where one of the nights where she stayed in the flat
Starting point is 00:25:20 and I went to the game ah it's not and I felt deeply uncomfortable like it's it's it's prime real estate that you're close to the game and I felt deeply uncomfortable it's prime real estate that you're close
Starting point is 00:25:27 to the bars you can't out drink in your file back in your flat you're close to the club but it's just this little dark corner of Dublin
Starting point is 00:25:34 that you don't want to shine a light on I bet it costs a fortune as well I bet it costs fucking loads I had to phone the police one night
Starting point is 00:25:41 one weekend I was in it I saw a guy getting fucking mugged outside like like directly outside the bedroom window
Starting point is 00:25:48 wow I heard commotion and I saw a guy just basically getting held up oh that's a grim excuse you don't want to get out phone the guard
Starting point is 00:25:57 yeah that couldn't have been any less of a fuck they couldn't give a shit do they have do they have the same number or do they because they're like fucking Americans,
Starting point is 00:26:05 aren't they? So are they 911? I don't know what they are, actually. 911. No, that's Northern Ireland. I was going to do that. What is Southern Ireland? That was white.
Starting point is 00:26:15 Oh, the hill. 911. 0800 911. Just call any number. 333. 333. 0800 911 just call any number 333
Starting point is 00:26:23 so yeah they can't through the phone book for the police yeah I feel like it's quite degraded that they call the police
Starting point is 00:26:36 guards there because you know when like you take the piss with the security guards it's like oh they're wanting to be cops
Starting point is 00:26:42 whereas they just carry on calling them guards yeah they're just like ah the guards whatever aye
Starting point is 00:26:49 they carry guns though they do overcompensate for being called wardens park park and wardens aye aye but you can stick
Starting point is 00:27:01 because but you shouldn't give up the bed because Colin Colin I've got here I've got here I'm going to put him in a little basket in the corner and when it's time for him to get up But you can stick But you shouldn't give up the bed Because Colin I'm going to put him in a little basket in the corner And when it's time for him to get up I'm going to play the flute He's going to pop
Starting point is 00:27:11 He's going to pop Like one of those dancing sunflowers The sunflowers that you clap in the start Give them the beans Because the size of Colin You could stick him in the cupboard Right next to this ironing board because it looks icicle and you could literally I mean you could stick him in the
Starting point is 00:27:26 cupboard like next to this ironing board and just prop him up like he's not going to next to the boiler yeah yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:27:34 I just I just got to open the door in the morning he's just coiled around a broom shank he's shed a skin I'm like
Starting point is 00:27:45 oh fucking you've laid eggs out of our floor that's the thing and some of them are still bubbling out of his neck
Starting point is 00:27:50 and landing on the floor so I mean cold I was in that flat one time I was I was in that flat and
Starting point is 00:28:00 I went I went outside for a smoke and I was I was shit faced did I talk about this recently I can never remember if I've pressed record one thing I hate the most is when
Starting point is 00:28:10 we tell the same story twice on the podcast it doesn't matter if there's years between it but if it's in quick succession we went through a spell there where Danny just kept saying the same shit about Joe Rogan I might as well have just put it on a button now we're going to have Daniel same shit about Joe Rogan I might as well have just put it on a button aye now we're going to have
Starting point is 00:28:25 Daniel Sloss' Joe Rogan break Rogan I think man we're losing followers yeah but I went out out for a smoke and
Starting point is 00:28:35 when you're a hamad and you take a drop of a cigarette and you just heave and spew it up on me feet right
Starting point is 00:28:41 that's where I was no I was I spewed it up on my feet and this guy come up and he just fucking asked if I had any feet right I was that that's where I was no I was I spewed up on my feet and this guy come up and he just fucking asked if I had any spare cigarettes I was like
Starting point is 00:28:49 I ain't need proper mate I'm fucking spewed out on my feet I'm trying to fumble I give him a cigarette like that and he's like oh cheers bunny lad
Starting point is 00:28:56 I was like yeah I'll have another one I'll have a couple I'm not gonna need them and he just hands on his way and then I just saw him stop and he went
Starting point is 00:29:02 yeah mate do you want a lane that'll sort you out I was like mate you fucking champion I'm in this fucking crackhead alley this guy's coming
Starting point is 00:29:10 I don't know I was in the bag it was definitely coke yeah it was definitely coke I fucking took a lane I picked right back up I went back in
Starting point is 00:29:18 next thing you're sucking him off hate that alley I'm like that Dave Chappelle routine when I come back in there Natalie's like how was Dublin I'm like that Dave Chappelle routine when I come back in there and Natalie's like how was Dublin and I was like I was out fucking women
Starting point is 00:29:30 what's Danny's why's Danny got such a beef against Joe Rogan I think it was just his fucking misuse of his platform to fucking stir up the right. It's like fucking selling it to the QAnon cunts, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:29:52 I think it was just that. I mean, you could listen to any episode from circa six months ago. Just pick an episode out of like a full three-month range and you'll hear all about it. I'm not going to go back over it. I've got no beef with some man there i don't really know much of his his work i get my right wing stuff from a lot of other people
Starting point is 00:30:13 i'm old school right wing i go to the classics you know what's funny you know how you've got these right wing comedians that are just kind of like acting as if they're stepping out but they're actually like they've got an audience and they know it there's an audience for right wing out there you can tell by the way people have voted
Starting point is 00:30:30 yeah yeah yeah so they're always going against whatever the left are saying and some of them now are like just to be contrarians going like pro Russia
Starting point is 00:30:40 that's incredible on the invasion of Ukraine I saw it last night yeah I've seen these fucking, like, guys that have made a whole, like, they've made their whole identity online going against what the left has said.
Starting point is 00:30:51 And now, like, you're too far gone now, mate. You're on the wrong side of the war. You're ready to be a comedian and now you're on the wrong side of a fucking conflict. Yeah. I've seen a few pro-Putin things. Like, I saw something last night
Starting point is 00:31:07 talking about how much better it would be if Trump was in charge during all of this. I like... You're like, going, what, the guy that was pals with Putin? How the fuck would he be there? You're like, we don't know what side he would have been on. Yeah. No one can say.
Starting point is 00:31:21 Yeah. Because I wouldn't be 100% sure that he'd be On his side Exactly Aye Because there's still There's still that You remember that video That existed of Trump
Starting point is 00:31:31 When he was in Russia And he had the prostitutes And they were pissing on him Like Apparently that video Does exist Does exist So
Starting point is 00:31:40 That's the last thing you want If a guy Like That's pretty much One of the That's one of the biggest things someone can hold over you. A video of you doing something dodgy sexually. You don't want that.
Starting point is 00:31:52 I feel like he was at the point, in his pomp, he was at the point where a video of him pissing on prostitutes, it would have just got him in Sarah Pascoe's book. prostitutes like it would have just got him in Sarah Pascoe's book you want a little paragraph hit the better button bitter
Starting point is 00:32:12 I don't think I don't think it would be that bad like because I mean it's not like he's not already hated by people that don't
Starting point is 00:32:29 support him anyway so like you say what difference would a video of him being with Russian prostitutes really have made
Starting point is 00:32:35 he had the like he had the support where like nothing's gonna rock this the only thing that I believe
Starting point is 00:32:44 like knocked him off the top really was they get activated to people that were against him that might not have voted I just think like I don't know the vote figures I'm just speculating here
Starting point is 00:32:53 I don't know don't get your news from me but I feel like people had to go oh fuck he's got critical mass here he's got people he's got people
Starting point is 00:33:00 that'll follow him blindly into the war for Russia alongside Russia right so everyone's like fuck we've got this mental cunt in charge we now need to vote to get him out and I feel like it was more of an uprising of like
Starting point is 00:33:12 fence sitters that that outed him because anybody that sticks by him probably still sticks by him now yeah exactly aye if you're that much entrenched then have you heard word of him since erm
Starting point is 00:33:26 I saw he said the other day that Putin was a genius he does because he does press conferences now and again does he
Starting point is 00:33:33 because I've never seen they've done a really good job of just deplatforming him from any fucking like I've never seen anything about him on Twitter I've never seen him
Starting point is 00:33:40 come up on any like Facebook videos he gets kicked off he gets kicked off Twitter aye but he said there was like a new but I still thought right wing social media I've never seen him come up on any Facebook videos. He got kicked off. He got kicked off Twitter. But he said there was a new right-wing social media platform that was starting that he was going to rule. So he's the king of the shit heap somewhere. Yeah, basically.
Starting point is 00:33:58 Keep an eye on them, though. Keep an eye on them cunts that are in their own little forums. There's enough of them to be a problem. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You can't just go,
Starting point is 00:34:07 out of sight, out of mind. I don't, I don't ignore the weirdos, Lex, because, there's too many weirdos. Weirdos find weirdos,
Starting point is 00:34:15 and then, do you see the, that's how it all started, it was like 4chan and stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:20 Yeah, I listen to a documentary about all that. Was it the BBC Sounds one? Yeah, it's fucking amazing. Yeah, I listen to that. Yeah. Shout it out the BBC sounds one yeah it's fucking amazing yeah I listened to that yeah it's called it's called The Coming Storm it's amazing
Starting point is 00:34:30 it's absolutely amazing em do you see the did you see that thing in the it was reported over the weekend in the Ukraine there was like he was getting called
Starting point is 00:34:40 the ghost of Kiev he was a fighter player that had apparently shot down like nine Russian MiGs I love shit like that man and then and then it turns out like all the footage was taken from like call of duty and shit like that oh good fucking like it wasn't real it wasn't even real the ghost of ukraine was a fucking yeah it's just for the hell just boost the spirit it's like because i love shit like love you know like the red baron
Starting point is 00:35:05 oh yeah yeah yeah I mean he was on the opposite side yeah yeah yeah he's a good guy but that mythical like
Starting point is 00:35:13 that mythical soldier or the mythical guy you can't it's just like yeah you heard about because it's almost like it gets to the point of like
Starting point is 00:35:21 greek mythology yeah achilles like where there's somebody there's somebody even the ghost of k mythology. Achilles. Where there's somebody out there. Even the ghost of Kiev. It's a cool fucking name, that. If you're known as the ghost of Kiev.
Starting point is 00:35:33 Fucking hell. I went through a little spell of studying World War I. And I loved the little stories. There was a guy who was in the trenches for the Allies right and what had become was this unspoken ceasefire when smoke was coming
Starting point is 00:35:54 from the trenches because that's when you're cooking and having your dinner so it's the smoke coming from your trenches right because you're sizzling bacon or whatever the Germans wouldn't chill you and then it was reciprocated by the allies so there was just this like they would shoot them when they're eating let them have that dinner that's right and this had developed over the course of like a patch of the war yeah this particular part of the
Starting point is 00:36:18 trenches right and then um and then one of the lads who must have been fucking suicidal walked over the trenches sat down had, had dinner with the Germans. And they were like, we're kind of kill him because then the dinner time ceasefires over. Fucking hell. So they fucking had dinner with him. The balls. And he whacked Bakawa with a belly full and had his dinner Bakawa here and there. Whether it's true or not not the fact that story reached
Starting point is 00:36:45 it reached books the story like I was reading I think it was like the guns of August or something that's amazing but the fact that
Starting point is 00:36:52 like that story is now in literature whatever the story spawned from like the fucking story that we're telling now came from whatever the fuck happened
Starting point is 00:36:59 that's class and I love shit like that there was another one where there was this young scouse lad right and there was a fucking there was a one where there was this young scouse lad right and there was a fucking there was a soldier
Starting point is 00:37:06 on leave like he'd been sent back home and he was due to get back out right and this young scouse lad who was like 13 years old
Starting point is 00:37:13 and his brother and now his fucking mates were old enough and they were out fighting in the trenches and he gets this kid this actual soldier drunk in a bar
Starting point is 00:37:22 this 13 year old gets him fucking mullered right texts his fucking shit his papers and all that and fucking gets this actual soldier, drunk in a bar, this 13 year old, gets him fucking mullered, right, texts his fucking shit, his papers and all that, and fucking gets his cell all the way out there, Germany,
Starting point is 00:37:31 or Belgium, or wherever the fuck he was going, and just walked down the trenches until he phoned his brother, he fucking sorted his salute, to get to war, from home, as a kid,
Starting point is 00:37:42 Jesus, imagine, he got sent, like apparently, like the fund who, like the fund him, and realised he was like too young to be at war, from home, as a kid. Jesus. Imagine, you got sent, yeah, but like, apparently like, the fund who, like, the fund them,
Starting point is 00:37:47 and realised he was like, too young to be at war, and all that, and sent him back. That's amazing, man. But imagine, you're just fucking at war,
Starting point is 00:37:53 and all that, and you're passing, and you're like, stish. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The fuck are you doing here,
Starting point is 00:38:00 funny lad? Thought you were at school. Fucking hell, man man I'm fairly certain my grandparents my both my granddads were too young to be what then
Starting point is 00:38:12 what was it was it 16 no idea probably fairly certain most of them were too young either way
Starting point is 00:38:20 even if it was 16 right that's that's kids that oh christ you know I think people, when they think about, like,
Starting point is 00:38:27 oh, war heroes and all that, they think of, like, fucking Willem Dafoe, whatever. Aye, exactly, aye. Like a grizzled old vet, right? They don't think of just, like, scared young'uns. No, no. And when they're like,
Starting point is 00:38:37 oh, these war heroes and all that, like, I bet a lot of them didn't come back feeling like heroes because I bet a lot of them were actually just curled up in the mud, crying, shitting their pants. Aye, totally, aye. And they made it home and everyone held them a hero
Starting point is 00:38:50 and they're like, I fucking never even fired a bullet. I was scared and all that. Aye. I bet there's a reality, like, obviously, like, the hero's for even just fucking being there. Like, you don't need to take that away from them. I'm not trying to take away what happened. But I...
Starting point is 00:39:02 You pussies. I bet you it wasn't the fucking bite down on the gun shield march forward fucking shoot-outs. No, it wouldn't be the Hollywood war. Yeah, yeah. They're not whacking around like fucking me at Lear's Equest. They're shit scared
Starting point is 00:39:14 because they're going to die if they get hit, right? And the kids... The kids, like, I think the fucking reality... The reality of war is fucking cold, man. I bet you none of them
Starting point is 00:39:23 are coming back and getting their medals and all that kind of stuff. I just shot myself in, man. I bet you none of them are coming back and getting their medals and all that kind. I just shot myself in the field. I shot me bullets out of the head to the enemy because I didn't want to kill anyone. There you are, there's your medal. That's why you're coming back alive.
Starting point is 00:39:36 My son did Laser Quest for the first time last weekend. And you've got to pick a name at the start of it so there's like suggested names you can put in your own names so there's like fucking there's like
Starting point is 00:39:50 all of them the ghost of Dumfries yeah so there's like there's all the Star Wars names there's all Iron Man all that kind of shit
Starting point is 00:40:00 and then there's various all Marvel characters and all that kind of stuff i was so tempted to just shagger just to see just just to see sex just to see fucking even even if he wasn't even close to the top just for them to read around and go skywalker chewbacca, Shaggar. Just him standing there. That would be so funny. Bottler,
Starting point is 00:40:32 didn't do it. What, right, okay, if you put that, what kind of trouble do you think you'd be in? What would be the real world ramifications of putting Shaggar? I think,
Starting point is 00:40:42 six year olds. I think the other, some of the other dads would find it funny aye but then it's mostly it was mostly mums there aye and then you're just
Starting point is 00:40:50 it's deeply inappropriate oh like that means he's been he's been a victim of a sexual assault yeah how else could he shag it's not like
Starting point is 00:40:59 it's not like even if he shags a woman then that's it that means he's been assaulted by the woman that was always that's always a weird it's always a weird debate that where
Starting point is 00:41:12 if it's a teacher if it's a if it's a male teacher and a 16 year old lassie at school that's deeply wrong whereas if it's a female teacher and a 16 year old lassie at school that's deeply wrong whereas if it's a female teacher and a 16 year old lad
Starting point is 00:41:29 meh that's a bad this hypothetical debate me and Mark are going to have is deeply covered in caveats like we know it's all wrong it shouldn't be done it shouldn't be wrong just to assume that half of the course if i was 15 and mrs stevenson decided that she was
Starting point is 00:41:52 gonna shag me and then buy me an xbox to keep me quiet i would murder the snitch who stopped it yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah is mrs stevenson she was that made up yeah that was she was quite a hot teacher oh right I didn't know whether you'd changed her name like you did with
Starting point is 00:42:09 Pedo Jerry she did she changed it to Mrs Hall fucking cow I thought she only had eyes for me and she went
Starting point is 00:42:20 she either got married or got witness protection either way either way that means she fucked somebody else. But the teacher, and this is the thing, I think there may be a little bit of, there may be a little sexism, a little bit of sexism
Starting point is 00:42:37 towards our attitude towards that, which is such a fucking laddish attitude to get on. If it happened to a boy, that lad's a fucking gangster. The girl's a victim if it's happened to a girl but I bet you there's a lot of girls that are like 15 that like fucking use their mind
Starting point is 00:42:50 a lot better than boys know that oh Christ I where the boys girls are a hell of a lot more mature the boys like the fucking like the one that is
Starting point is 00:42:58 is more childlike in their ways than the girl the girl would have like like there's probably a lot of sexism in that
Starting point is 00:43:04 in that we find a difference that we go the boy's a legend and the girl's have like there's probably a lot of sexism in that we find a difference that we go the boy's a legend and the girl's the victim yeah yeah yeah oh that's massive sexism yeah and it definitely is wrong like neither of us are advocating this we're just saying there's different attitudes between if it's a female
Starting point is 00:43:19 teacher or if it's a male teacher and it's true there's different attitudes yeah and there shouldn't be it's all wrong and if it's a male teacher and it's true there's different attitudes yeah and there shouldn't be it's all wrong and if it's a male teacher and a male boy fine absolutely fine they're just having
Starting point is 00:43:32 a great time coming from a catholic school absolutely fine nothing wrong with that whatsoever so we'll manoeuvre through that
Starting point is 00:43:41 totally fine we'll say we're like the ghost of Kiev there I military manoeuvred when we were. We're like the ghost of Kiev there. Aye, military manoeuvre. We're way through saying that it was okay to molest a child as long as it's a boy.
Starting point is 00:43:55 We're not saying it's okay, deeply low in cowlats, but we are saying we feel like society views it differently. Yes. Which it shouldn't. Still. But if it had been made at 15 yeah but then there's also
Starting point is 00:44:07 that it's very much laced in and dressed up in like that kind of American Pie type
Starting point is 00:44:15 deal of a older woman seducing a younger do you know what I mean it is that kind of telling your pals you're a fucking legend whereas
Starting point is 00:44:24 in reality it's probably quite of telling your pals you're a fucking legend whereas in reality it's probably quite horrific yeah and you you probably like let's let's unpack it to its reality
Starting point is 00:44:31 you're probably like gonna have like a really jarred view of sex and yeah yeah you're being accelerated through
Starting point is 00:44:43 awkwardly kissing a girl at the school disco and then fumbling together both figuring out while you've both still got spots that the like figuring out simple stuff like when I first
Starting point is 00:44:57 when I first think of the girl I was expecting the vagina to be on the front and I ended up like rubbing a hill for the front and I ended up rubbing her hill for a bit before I realised Rubbing her what? The hill? The mound? The hill?
Starting point is 00:45:12 The mound? The pitcher's mound? The grassy knoll? Fucking hell. Fumbling the grassy knoll? You get accelerated past all of that like you don't even get you don't even get it going
Starting point is 00:45:27 through your your fumbling arc of discovery yeah you're getting thrown in you just get fast tracked by a fucking someone in a position of power
Starting point is 00:45:35 that's exactly what they're doing you're getting thrown in with a legend it's like your first your first fight being the undertaker I don't know fucking
Starting point is 00:45:42 I don't know what I'm doing not prepared for this yeah and then like and then all your relationships are probably going to be a bit
Starting point is 00:45:49 more fucked up after that I'm not a psychologist I'm just saying you're probably getting robbed of a little
Starting point is 00:45:56 bit of the innocence of discovery if you get molested by a grown adult I'm new with these ideas
Starting point is 00:46:03 nobody's even thought of this before it's definitely wrong though I love that we go I think we manoeuvre through that main field and then I just ran back through it
Starting point is 00:46:15 yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah we got through it forgot my keys someone else is new what have you been up to I was in Glasgow I went to
Starting point is 00:46:31 I was near I was in Teesside on Thursday night oh nice a place called Stainton Stainton aye
Starting point is 00:46:38 do you know it nah sounds like Teesside rough rough as fuck it was when I turned up at the venue
Starting point is 00:46:46 the venue was in a hotel and it had two ambulances outside and it's never a good sign when the ambulances are already there
Starting point is 00:46:54 already at the hotel and eh you haven't even had a heart attack yet yeah it was fucking mental man couple split up while I was on stage
Starting point is 00:47:01 oh nice which is nice were you complicit was it happening around you or was it happening because of you? I wasn't... I didn't cause it, but I didn't help.
Starting point is 00:47:09 Ah, nice. I kind of commentated and goaded it. Well, if you're going to say it publicly when someone's got a mic. But the guy was a proper bail-in, so... And they also pissed me off
Starting point is 00:47:19 by calling me Irish as soon as I went on. Do you get a... Do you not like that if people call you Irish? Nah, because it's not I don't think it's it's quite
Starting point is 00:47:28 it's quite common in em in Australia for people to mistake me for being Irish because me mam you know like the same things
Starting point is 00:47:36 give us that like I I think I think em there's certain things I'm never offended by that yeah but yeah if someone was to like
Starting point is 00:47:43 say are you from yeah Birmingham yeah yeah fuck off ah yeah yeah so as a scottish man i'm not i mean i don't to be honest i don't care it's just a it's a funny bit at the start because you can immediately play off the fact that they're racist so so they did that and then I commented on that and then I think very much like you were saying the guy at this point had then taken that and run with it and gone alright this is
Starting point is 00:48:12 a wee double act we've got going now and then we shut the fuck up you were going to laugh that he thought it was his and then it was a back and forth and then she started getting mad with him for constantly talking and then he was a prick to her and then at one point he fucking
Starting point is 00:48:28 slammed his pint down and just stormed out. Smash it I think. No, just like fucking launched down. They don't give people glass and paper. I'm mad. But it was mental man. Did she stay?
Starting point is 00:48:43 She stayed. And then it's awkward because she's then on her own and everyone's going how long left is this
Starting point is 00:48:54 and there was almost like 10 minutes left but it was a long 10 minutes for everybody I had a lassy I had a lassy storm out in hot water
Starting point is 00:49:02 once because I was taking another bit of day about the lads shouting punching when I'm in the taxi queue and they shout punching to us. And the lassie was like, like him, with her boyfriend. And I leaned in, come under the light, looked at them and went, nah. Because she'd called us a lot. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:49:22 I didn't even take a look at it I was like nah because that's the funny thing to be she didn't have no fucking storm route I was like what fancies this I had somebody walk out a proper commotion as well
Starting point is 00:49:38 complaints and shit afterwards at hot water and I thought it was me and the staff thought it was me as well and I was fucking shitting and the staff thought it was me as well and i was fucking shitting myself because i was like that's not like the bit i do about um there's a bit i do about teaching my son to swim and how i would come up under the water and grab him and like a shark attack right and uh i grabbed the wrong kid and then i only realized and then i apologized to parents and the punchline is i couldn't even claim it was a genuine,
Starting point is 00:50:05 understandable mistake because my son's got blonde hair and he's not Chinese, right? So that's the joke, right? When I go up, the bouncers and the, I can't remember who was in charge that night, were kind of going, oh, yeah, folks. I could see commotion fucking storming out. And they were, people had left and they were like oh it's because that because the chinese bit you do i was like what chinese bit and i end with the swimming and i was like all i said was the
Starting point is 00:50:36 word chinese like i had to pick yeah i had to pick something that is so far away because my son is so pale and so blonde haired i was like right like so it's not racist to say that your son doesn't look chinese exactly yeah so uh and they were like yeah they were they were chinese as well so um they were proper furious about it like complaining i was like right i'm really sorry like i didn't i didn't understand and then i went downstairs for a drink and then they came down and went, oh no, no, it wasn't you. Some guys, some guys from behind them were giving them fucking shit for something else. And I was like, well, thanks.
Starting point is 00:51:11 I mean, I could have walked away tonight thinking I'd committed a fucking hate crime. And all it was, was the guy behind him had bumped into him and spilt his pint. So they'd been arguing all the way through. Wouldn't buy him a new one. And I was like, what the fuck, man? That's the worst.
Starting point is 00:51:29 Yeah, you don't want to feel like you've hurt anyone in the crowd, especially like that. No, God no, especially if it's completely, like if, trust me,
Starting point is 00:51:35 if I want to offend people, I will. I had, you know when I used to do the bit with the hat, where I was like, I can't wear a hat. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:44 Because it looks like I'm terminally ill. And I like, I put the hat on in order like I can't wear a hat yeah yeah yeah because it looks like I'm terminally ill and I like put the hat I put the hat on I'm terminally ill right I'd done that it was at a it was at a ski resort
Starting point is 00:51:51 it was like in Courchevel or something like that I was out doing the taking the piece to gigs and they do like a kind of tour of different resorts and then there's like
Starting point is 00:51:59 kind of older older British bloke I can't remember where from but he'd just come up and he was just like good set mate, but, didn't,
Starting point is 00:52:06 didn't do the cancer joke, like, my friend died of cancer, and it's just, it really, it's really inappropriate to do jokes about cancer and all that,
Starting point is 00:52:14 and I was just like, hello mate, like, do you think you're the only person that's been affected by cancer? No, I know, I know.
Starting point is 00:52:19 Is this like a really unique to you situation? Like, I'm fucking, do you think, I've never in my life ever had anything to do, like, it's you think i've never in my life ever had anything to date like it's just been something that completely off the table for me yeah like to
Starting point is 00:52:30 just assume that cancer hasn't affected my life yeah exactly yeah yeah fuck man like you can't you can't just take the thing that was like offensive to you there in fact it wasn't even offensive like i wasn't making fun of people with cancer no of course you weren't no you can't you can't you can't pick and choose what you find acceptable you either don't like at all or you can't you can't just go that's that one that's the one thing that's too far for me well fair enough if it's too far for you then i'm sorry but it's not I'm not going to stop it because there's something that you laughed at a minute ago that's too far for someone else I remember when I first discovered
Starting point is 00:53:12 that was about like people getting offended about their thing it was Gary Delaney was on at Punch Drunk 2009 it would have been so I'd like not long since started
Starting point is 00:53:21 and just started running these gigs and there was a lassie I worked with she was drunk and I like and she just started crying and just kicking off at the back of the room and all that and there's just this crying lassie she's like you just done a joke about diabetes my dad's got diabetes I was like fuck he done a joke about blind people like if you go to Gary Delaney'saney they're jokes and they're quite clearly jokes because they're fucking structured jokes there's no room for ambiguity with Gary Delaney's stuff
Starting point is 00:53:52 it's not like he's telling you his opinion and then fucking one of them happens to be a hate crime like these are just jokes about different things and she took umbrage to the diabetes and I'm like I saw you laughing at the jokes about the people's ailments. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:06 But because that one's very loosely involved with you. Like, it's not like. Yeah, that's how he got nine toes. Just made me start fucking crying your eyes out about that bit. Don't you take the piss out of the left-handed. To like really laser point the thing that affects you and then get upset about that while throwing your head back better than other people's shit is the most fucking egotistical bullshit
Starting point is 00:54:31 that I've ever seen. And then it does happen with people in the crowd. See, I heard people talking on the radio about this and it was after the Jimmy Carr thing and people going on about how, is this offensive, isn't offensive, all this kind of shit. And then basically kind of saying like,
Starting point is 00:54:49 I don't think comedy and jokes deserve this amount of scrutiny and this amount of in-depth analysis because one of the funniest things, right? Now, whether you like it or not, I do quite find it funny. My kids find it fucking hilarious as you've been framed, right? People falling off shit and slipping and all that kind of stuff is funny slapstick's funny somebody falling over on
Starting point is 00:55:11 the street is fucking hilarious like when it's slippery outside you see somebody going up on their arse it's hilarious man i was walking alongside barry castanola in amsterdam and he fucking disappeared out my eye lane he went down like that right he didn't fall but he managed to stop himself and come back up, right? And we're both looking off our shoulder at the same time, and there's a fucking banana skin there. Yeah, I mean, God almighty, that's... My fucking God, did we die laughing.
Starting point is 00:55:33 I was expecting him to step on an upturned rake. Yeah, yeah. I was like, that's like a fucking cartoon fall you just had while we're chatting. Yeah, yeah. But in those scenarios, someone genuinely does get hurt like actually physically get hurt
Starting point is 00:55:46 wouldn't you see you see like a somebody somebody that's like there'll be an an American backyard right
Starting point is 00:55:54 and somebody will come and bounce on the trampoline and the fucking trampoline will give way and it'll throw him rather than throwing him into the pool it'll throw him
Starting point is 00:56:01 straight through a fence right and the guy's fucking lying there crippled. Studio laughter, next video. Yeah, everyone's pissing themselves. It's taking the video. The guy that's holding the camera can barely fucking stand.
Starting point is 00:56:13 Everyone's laughing in the studio. Move on, right? There's a good chance that guy's going to hospital for stitches. That would be funny if just like 10 minutes through you've been framed, right? Like one of the videos, just the studio laughter just dissipates and dies down to nothing
Starting point is 00:56:27 and then the video keeps running and the guy can't get him and like half the fence isn't built so he's coughing and he's fucking screaming and they're like they're calling the paramedics and they're like wrapping stuff around and trying to stop the bleeding like we're now like 45 minutes into you've been framed and half an hour of it's just been this
Starting point is 00:56:43 guy like fucking losing blood and he's getting IV. Getting his leg amputated. Yeah. But is that, so is that acceptable? Like if you're going to dig down into humour that much, is it acceptable to watch someone physically hurt themselves and laugh at it as opposed to someone presenting an idea it is funny when you see a slapstick moment in real life and you'll you'll check before you laugh
Starting point is 00:57:10 you're like the laughter will come and then you'll be like are you all right there mate like i'm chris ferguson who listens to the podcast yeah one of my pals you know chris yeah no chris yeah um we're walking along and he fucking slipped on the ice we're just going to go back on so the dog slipped on his ice and he fell, right? And the instant reaction is like, one of my mates just fell out of a laugh. But like, this is a grown man who's fell over onto the pavement.
Starting point is 00:57:32 We're not kids anymore. You don't get back up from that sometimes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And you're like, all right, mate, all right, yeah. I just scuffed my hand and lost a bit of my dignity. I hope you didn't mention it on the podcast. You fucking tet, Chris. Then you check his heart rate and podcast you're a fucking tet grist then you check your tar eight and then you're like why my wife does it she's got like a proper nervous
Starting point is 00:57:51 whenever anything like she should go that kind of laugh at a funeral kind of thing because it's such a nerve-wracking experience and there is the silence and the nervousness. So laughter is the natural kind of thing to do. And so she does that whenever you hurt yourself. And see when it's you that's hurt yourself, it's the most annoying fucking thing in the world. I remember one time. You're trying not to get too serious about it. Aye.
Starting point is 00:58:19 You're trying not to go, babes, my fingers sore. I know, I know, I know. I can't remember what we were doing. We were mucking about something and we were in our old flat
Starting point is 00:58:27 before we had kids and she fucking I think we were like throwing different bits of felt or paint or something at each other
Starting point is 00:58:35 and then at one point she just took it too far and grabbed like a can of deodorant and fucking sprayed it in my eyes right so my eyes
Starting point is 00:58:42 are like stinging I'm like a fucking attacker and I'm going to be like this and she's pissing herself laughing and i'm gonna i'm actually lost my sight here you mad bastard what does it say on the bottle if you get in your eyes then she's lighting a match and just fucking i laughed at a funeral thing i was at a funeral on on monday and um a lot of comedians there it was somebody within the industry
Starting point is 00:59:08 and Elliot Steelgate crashed yeah he didn't know anybody but he was like a couple of my mates are there he didn't he knew the guy as well and because it's all comedians
Starting point is 00:59:18 and because it's that tension and because there's so many funny memories and happy memories like people were having a laugh but like it was such a weird feeling because like it was that jarring, it was that jarring thing of like,
Starting point is 00:59:29 I'm laughing with these people who I haven't seen, it's the fact, you know, sometimes you haven't seen people for three years because of the pandemic. You're instantly feeling like, oh yeah,
Starting point is 00:59:37 how are you doing? How are you being? And then it dawns on you like, why is all coming together? Why? And you feel like shit for your reaction and you're like, you're just in this fucking pocket
Starting point is 00:59:46 of not knowing how to act. You literally don't know how to act because you're genuinely grieving and feeling sad and you're genuinely happy to see people lit up by their presence and that fucking just,
Starting point is 00:59:57 like an included front just makes you have this fucking like cauldron of like emotion that you don't know how to process, right? But everybody's processing it by just like fucking inappropriately laughing instead of cracking the emotion that you don't know how to process right but everybody's processing it by just like fucking inappropriately laughing and stuff cracking the jokes that you shouldn't crack like yeah just comics being comics being deeply inappropriate but every time elliot had a like a proper from the belly laugh i ticked him off for it like quietly i put it on the side i was like
Starting point is 01:00:21 me and his parents are here man you can't be but everyone was doing it his brothers were doing it but every time Elliot did it I was like Elliot whoa Elliot man I went better respect Elliot for fuck's sake
Starting point is 01:00:37 better respect he didn't even know the man what did Elliot wear? shouts it because he I told him because he was like I don't have a suit
Starting point is 01:00:46 and I was like well I'm just wearing a black jumper aye I'm just wearing a black sweater like erm just do something
Starting point is 01:00:53 like that right and then he was like you wore a black sweater and he was like fuck I've left my black sweater on the tube the only thing
Starting point is 01:01:00 that he had I was expecting but he did have a dog shirt underneath it looking like he didn't have one we asked him
Starting point is 01:01:08 on the whatsapp asked him on the whatsapp what did you have on underneath it and he just put an up arrow the man
Starting point is 01:01:14 and then it's down out of the legend rocking up at a funeral with a man and legend yeah you know that funeral as well right I watched because there's so rocking up at a funeral with a man that lets him go yeah you know that funeral as well
Starting point is 01:01:27 right like I watched because there's so many fucking good speeches like his brother his sister his best mate his ma got up
Starting point is 01:01:34 and like his ma crying talking about losing her baby like it was the fucking hardest shit to watch right but I managed to like
Starting point is 01:01:41 stay stoic and like listen to everything without fucking breaking down. And then right at the end, Tim Fitzhiam played the bugle. Oh, yeah, yeah. Out of tune at the end, right? And because it had like such a comedy element to it,
Starting point is 01:01:56 it fucking knocked me god re-doing it. It was clean in the face. I'd fucking sat through all these emotional speeches from family and I ended up like fucking hicking in my seat like this at a badly-tuned bugle. Yeah. Like, it's amazing the fucking, the way a shit can hit you. Aye, aye.
Starting point is 01:02:12 Aye, totally, aye. Aye. And then, because the lad, I don't want to be too candid about it at all, but the lad was a Liverpool fan, and Andrew Maxwell got up and done a speech, and he was a Liverpool fan, and he talked,
Starting point is 01:02:25 he talked through the words of You'll Never Walk Alone. Oh, nice. And like, fucking so emotional, like, you know, like the words just laid down. And then he was just like,
Starting point is 01:02:34 it's so fucking hard to say that without singing it. And then he started like banging the desk and everybody in the room started singing You'll Never Walk Alone.
Starting point is 01:02:42 And me and Danny, we were just like, nah. Nah. Love the man, but I'm not gonna, it were just like nah. Love the man but I'm not going to snort him. Love the man but nah. I'm not singing another football team's fucking... It's too far, Maxwell.
