I don't know the fuck because obviously we're going to talk about the fucking eh the the the
concert. Friday night. It was Friday night wasn't it? Yeah. Yeah you said so on em last Monday
I think everyone was asking what people were doing on Friday because people were trying to
make plans for things and you're like oh I can't I can't go eh because I'm going to a concert and
I'm like cool what band are you seeing and uh you said, whoa, whoa, whoa, sir.
I did not say band.
And I was like, so what is it that you're going to see?
Is it like a solo singer guy?
No.
You just, you kept dodging questions like nothing else.
Ducking, bobbing, weaving.
You were having none of it.
I became the one.
Yeah.
I was just like.
Yeah, who is it?
Is it a girl singer?
Is that why you're embarrassed?
Is it a tribute act?
And you weren't giving me anything.
So I did something very womanly.
It's funny because I know what it is.
Yeah, which is I just went, right, well, if they're not going to tell me,
I'm going to use the internet to arrive at my own conclusion.
Yeah.
And I Googled concerts in Edinburgh. to tell me i'm going to use the internet to arrive at my own conclusion yeah and i googled
concerts in edinburgh and like it's really hard because like there was like four bands and i don't
know anything about music so it could be any one of these four bands but i don't know what the
genre of them is i don't know what to accuse them of and then i scrolled down and there was one i was like oh that'll be it it was the edinburgh royal orchestra society i think that's what they're called rnso i think
it is the royal national squash orchestra orchestra yeah yeah usher hall doing the
music from the final fantasy games, that's correct. Yeah. Your honour.
Allegedly.
Now, I've done it wrong.
I'll never,
I'll never skip on a chance to be brutally homophobic
and bullying to any of my friends.
Yeah.
So of course there was.
Got a bit of bullying
from everybody in the chat.
It's from a man who's got
the entire limited edition
Cosmere yeah
so I mean
you know I'm a loser
I get it
if there was like
Lord of the Rings
next time they do a
Lord of the Rings one
there's not a chance
I wouldn't be going to
yeah yeah
like especially if they
the movie on in the
background
yeah I thought that
because the concert
was great
but I thought they'd
have like some visuals
and show some bits
from the games
yeah
but I mean it was fine well your friend your friend who makes me go on with pulled out and then
you messaged me four hours earlier on friday being like hey i know you yeah thought this was
gay but is there any chance you want to come tonight and i was like 100 percent yeah yeah
absolutely the very least i get to like I get to be the hardest person
In a room
And that's super rare for me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
The most sexually active as well
Oh, yeah, yeah
I had sex with
More people
Than that entire building combined
Even if they all had sex
With each other
Yeah, yeah, yeah
That night
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Still doesn't
Doesn't affect the big dog
So we went to the pub
beforehand
and you were like
edible
and I'm like
this just got
way better
never in my life
as a man that's
taken heaps and heaps
of drugs
never have I had
a better timed
drug
oh my god
it was unreal
I feel like
it started hitting
right as the orchestra
were going like
you know how they do that
like
like they're all warming up which you said the very funny thing where he was like that's like us going on were going like, you know how they do that, like, like they're all warming up,
which you said
the very funny thing
where he was like,
it's like us going on stage
going like,
knock, knock, knock, knock,
knock, knock.
Doctor, doctor.
There's a fly in my throat.
Ba, ba, ba, ba,
doctor, doctor.
Yeah, because they just,
they're just,
they're on stage
when you walk in there.
Yeah.
And like.
It's like being
a summer hall whip.
Yes. Very sort of like natural. And they're It was like being a summer hall whip. Yes.
Very sort of like natural.
And they're all suited and booted.
They're all dressed nicely.
Yes.
And it is like, guess who?
But you can see all their faces, but it's with autism.
What neurodivergence does each of these people have?
Because you don't get to be one of the best musicians in the country
without heaps of autism,
neurodivergency of any sort of thing.
And Tiger Woods' dad.
Yeah, abuse.
Yeah, yeah.
Like either you were so abused as a child
that music was your escape
and you'd get like fucking beaten.
And then they'd be like, have your wee gay violin.
And then you'd sit in your room and cry
and just make music up off the fucking spot.
Yeah, yeah.
Or Tiger Woods' dad hitting you with a violin.
Yeah.
Being like, I want a C sharp!
I want a C!
Whatever.
Major.
Major.
Is that the other one?
I liked that at the start, the conductor,
most useless job in the world.
Oh, what a charlatan.
He at the start said,
do we have any gamers here?
I think he was German.
Yeah.
Austrian.
He had an evil accent.
And an evil name.
When he came on,
his name was like...
Von Killer.
Yeah, yeah.
Go staff Von Killer.
They could never be like,
and this is your conductor for tonight,
Stephen Smith.
He'd be scarred down like one white eye.
It was a three-barreled name.
It was something Von something.
Do we have any gamers in the audience?
I'm just doing Werner Herzog now.
That would be great.
And what about in the orchestra?
Do we have any gamers?
And like two of them put their hand up
and he pointed to one woman and went, you will see she is sat in third chair if she didn't play so many video games and played
some more violin perhaps she would be first chair and it got such a huge laugh and i was like god
this is the easiest gig to get laughing oh yeah yeah absolutely in the world yeah and then like
i mean the arrogance of the fucking Conductor Right Is Look
If he
Is the person
When the show's not on
Who's like
Right
And then you do this
And then you do this
And then you do this
And he's training them
Behind the scenes
Fair enough
Yeah
Real fucking job
If his job
Is just up there
What an
You're coming up
You're coming up
It's you
Yeah
That's it
That's the whole thing
Like he's
Oh shit
He's the arrow
From fucking Guitar hero That's all he is yeah he's the human version of dance dance revolution
do you think he can play all those instruments as well as all them can though is that like a point
like he could go no you're doing it wrong and if he picked up he could just do it not
do you think he's a one-man band no nobody is no man's an island or a band but yeah the edible kicked in right as it started and then you turned to me and went
this edible's kicked i went i know it was it was perfect because like everyone's going off
their music because obviously they're fucking really like oh man tuneful fucking songs and
this conductor's just up there being like i'm like buddy no i can see that
nobody's looking at you yeah they're all looking at the music because the music sheet is telling
them what to do here and you're just like and steve on the drum you're gonna be up in
like a wee fucking elongated professor flitwick just giving a big licks as if he's got anything
to do i don't think he did anything at all no also you don't have to be
that camp
there's no
what's the in between
switch
you can go
you
the reason he does that
is so that
everyone
who's not mesmerised
he must do a thing
where he's like
more of something
does he do
does he do any of these
I need a bit more
more mozzarella
por favor
mucho mucho gusto I have no idea why he does He's doing it easier. I need a bit more. More mozzarella, por favor.
Mucho.
Mucho gusto.
I have no idea what he does,
but we watched him for a while.
And then my favorite moment of the whole thing.
There was a point,
you timed it great because you didn't know what was going on in my head,
but I was like,
I was so close to laughing out loud going,
what are we doing?
Like, what is this?
I'm watching a bunch of people
play video game music and then you grab my leg like thierry henry and i'm jamie carragher and
you go the pianist has no song sheet but you said it's so aghast like the pianist has no song sheet
and i was like oh my god that is the funniest thing you could have said in that moment
genuine shock from you like
well first of all it was one of the very few times the conductor like because i didn't even see the
piano get there piano's normally off to the fucking left clearly during one of the wee breaks
they moved it to in front of the conductor and my oh yes you were at the toilet yeah so my stone
brain hadn't even fucking registered it so i spent most of that time being like have i never noticed
that there was a piano there before?
So there was a good five minutes where I'm like,
fucking, is this Penn and Taylor as well?
This is unbelievable.
And he's going,
but doing all the fucking music.
And I'm like, there's no,
there's no music sheet in front of him.
That's unbelievable.
There's no way he's riffing this. And also he's not one of the people that stuck his hand up
being like, this is my favorite fucking game.
How on earth does this cunt
know this off by heart
what sort of
autistic genius
like is he like
the way Darren Brown
can allegedly read a book
is he just scans
each page
fucking photo memory
and then
blah blah blah
meanwhile
Brian on the drums
is going
dum dum dum
oh yeah
that guy with the five drums
I was laughing
laughing so much
thinking that guy was like such a simpleton.
Like I pictured him at like parties in my head.
How's work?
What do you do?
He's like, I play five drums.
I'm in an orchestra.
I go five drums, same size.
You got to hit the right one at the right time
or the whole thing messed up.
What's the, what different sounds do they make?
Yeah, boom, boom, boom. And of course my favourite, boom. What different sounds do they make? Boom Boom Boom
And of course my favourite
Boom
They all go boom
And I smack them
The pianist
I don't want to say it
But if you are listening
You could get his ethnicity
You could tell Where in the world that man was from
he had one of them strict dads very good at the piano didn't have sheep music very studious
put in whoever you you you think into that yeah and that was him And it was no surprise
But he was very good
He was unbelievable
The whole thing was really good
I loved like
Listening for a bit
And then like trying to
Watch just one person
Seeing what they were contributing
Remember the fucking
Big double bass man
His head was going
He was
Off his nut
Because everyone else
Playing the double bass
Is just like
Boom boom boom
boom
he was so
into it
every note was
the most important
thing
like a death
metal band
got the head
going
like an animated
fucking
every note
really giving it
big clicks
like you can
tell he's
there's no way
you could punch that guy i'll tell you that for free no his head was bobbing and weaving yeah yeah
you could try and punch but you just couldn't i spent a lot of time obviously not realizing
understood realizing how much i fucking understand about uh music who the fuck is phoning me like
the tone of it because remember at one point you were like this is clearly battle music yeah i've never played games and i'm like that's about music i feel like this is a love
scene this is a boss fight yeah i'm guessing that um the first few games though like i've not really
played them so the first i would say the first four or five songs i didn't recognize a single
one which then made me laugh because I thought,
well, this isn't about video games anymore.
Daniel and I are just at the orchestra.
Neither of us know these songs, so we're just enjoying an orchestra play.
Oh, man, I was on the perfect amount of fucking weed.
And also that edible did not stop coming.
Yeah.
It's been a while since I've done weed.
And like, obviously your tolerance fucking goes down but like it kicked in i'm like oh this'll this is good this is a perfect level to be and then after the fucking interval i was like
it's not it just keeps rolling over i feel like i'm a tube of toothpaste it's like i can get more
higher yeah when you went to the toilet i went that is so
brave i would not face stairs right now we were fucking silly little children yeah giggling away
in the orchestra i was mesmerized i'm not like i'll make fun of it but like i i said to car
after i'm like i would absolutely go back to the orchestra it was superb yeah if it was something
especially like if i enjoyed it that much it was something i've never played before i don't get it i liked it that much
i can't imagine how much because they did like the halo soundtrack oh my fucking god with a choir
i reckon i would genuinely cry and i reckon i reckon that would be the woman a single tear
rolling down my face the best bit
was when there was a slight pause in the music
and a man next to us sneezed
oh my god
we policed that so hard
he sneezed like four rows away
and we went
it was just like
the tiniest little lull in the music
where it was like
bum bum bum bum
and we were like
you fucking
you piece of fucking shit
you can't fucking hold it
can you
yeah oh god
that was so funny
I can see why
it was entertainment
400 years ago
I've never understood
like see
every time I go to like
you're in fucking Greece
you're in fuck somewhere
in England
like oh look at this
massive outdoor amphitheater
you're like man
if I had a time machine
or if I looked back
I'd just kill myself
like going outside to just watch people fucking play music.
No background thing.
You wouldn't try and get up there?
What's the deal with these Romans, man?
What's with the weird hat?
Yeah, what is this?
For cleaning the undersides of your horse?
Am I right?
Lieutenant Toilet Brush over there.
Oh, I'm being crucified.
Cancel culture gone bad
Baby, I need a Trojan
And that'll be funny in 300 years
Hey, if Jesus is such a fucking Jew
Why is he not up here, huh?
He runs the media
Herod hates babies, right?
He does
That guy fucking
Bud, bud
Throw him down a hill
What was his river thing?
I've been on a donkey
with one crying before.
I get it.
No, I got it.
I was like,
I can understand
why you'd fucking say,
because also,
because it's going to go, right?
It's not going to be around forever.
Like young people
don't give a fuck about
the orchestra.
But we didn't give a fuck
about the orchestra.
Maybe that's the way,
because I was thinking about this
while we're watching.
I'm like, maybe that's how orchestra fucking survives, right?
Is gradually over the next 50 years,
the amount they play Mozart will just fucking plummet.
Did anybody go to raves in the 90s?
Here is Scooter.
Yeah.
Welcome to the Royal National Symphony Orchestra
Of DJ Tiesto
All of the pill-bobbing raves
From the 90s
You're like, fucking
If this guy does
I can't name any fucking
Tiesto songs
I was also going down
Eat, Sleep, Rave and Pee
Adagio, The Strings is one
The last time i was in the
usher hall i was on ecstasy great man watching an orchestra perform uh the music of love actually
while the film played behind them now that's an interesting mummy uh nick uh was supposed to be
taking a girl she cancelled and so he was like do you want to go
Basically the same thing that happened with us
And I was like yeah I'll go
And then on the way there I was like
Hey I've got some MDMA do you want to take
And he went absolutely
But it was the worst experience
At first it was great I was like this is fun
But there's a point in the film where it goes all static
And I thought oh it's the interval
They've stopped playing music
And the static has been up here for I'm going to say 30 seconds in my head so i just
went and then the film starts again i was like oh no and the whole theater starts laughing
like and they're looking up and nick's like why why why why did you do that and i was i thought
it was the interval i was giving them an out there was
a few times where there was a long silence at the final fantasy thing and i thought people should be
clapping right now i'm not fool me once i'm not gonna be on drugs in this building starting a
round of applause again that's crazy but then we did turn into like kids on a high school trip
out doing something culture for once
because just during one of the rounds of applause
after a tune, you went,
Betty, I'm the last one clapping.
And so it just went to like everyone's clapping
and she and be going it's great
because nobody can tell you off for it
no
you're like
I'm enjoying the show
they kicked me out for laughing
so this is an orchestra
Yeah I just
I really
It was really funny
Did you not see the double bass player's head
Come on
Yeah
I spent so much of that time also
Just going
What fucking instrument's that
Who
What's
Where's that noise coming from
Yeah yeah
Because one bit
There was like a little
Oh there was a man with brushes
Yeah
And I
Because like at the back that's worse than the
five drum guy 100 i was work oh yeah the brushes were really integral to the song today they
finally needed a brush guy and they all laughed at me when i said i'm studying the brush but here i
am he had castanets at one point on his legs yeah that guy yeah quite enjoyed that he was he was
had a lot of things
going on well that's why i realized it's like the percussion people at the fucking back like kept
walking around because like obviously everyone's got one instrument but like each one of them was
in charge of like 10 different instruments yeah it's like right there's only a little bit of
xylophone there's only about two songs for the brush and then yeah cast net's gonna come up 1.1 can't have maracas like there was a
big drum as well one big drum huge which was great fun that guy was really into it i do think they
could have done a bit more i haven't a bit more humor like having not played the games like the
thing that i would love if i ever went to see the halo orchestra i really want them halfway through
the uh the music To do the sounds
Of me getting hit
By a grenade
And my health bar
Depleting
And the shields going
And then like
Oh but they can't say
Slurs on stage
Why?
Because you would have
Been shouting that
No way that hit me
You
Yeah
I mean
They did do one little bit
Where the big
trombone I guess
was that a trombone
I don't know
one of the brass things
orchestra banner
where it was like
a fart sound
or he just kept
playing when he
shouldn't
he basically did
like a little solo
and the conductor
was looking at him
then looking at us
like what is this
bloody cheeky
chops like
yeah it was real
and it was getting
such big laughs
I was like
grow up
you all need to
grow up
these fucking
yeah
video game people
we did walk around
during the break
and afterwards
stoned off of our nuts
just being like
the clientele
is exactly
what
you
picture in your head
somebody who attends
a fantasy orchestra
you nailed it
make no changes
oh yeah
I think
there's a guy in
suede dungarees
yeah
and I was like
he wasn't making
a coffee either
nah
nah
also
there was a cured
Harvey Price
oh man
that was so funny
just
that we were
in the queue
getting like
fucking teenagers
and nothing and this I swear because we were just commentating getting like fucking teenagers and nothing
and this
I swear
because we were just
commentating on everyone
going past
I was like man
there's so many schools
that have not went
shot up today
yeah yeah
there was a guy
who had four
different fucking
haircuts in one right
oh man
he moved this right
so we saw him
from like this side
so he had like
fringe with
bald long
comb over
and mullet and i'm like buddy that's
fucking three in one and then we got around the other side of him and the comb went into emo
fringe and we were like oh my yeah sick yeah so dope let me smell every one of your fingers i bet
they smell like a different pussy i tell you the thing I didn't like about it
was every time the whole audience clapped
all the like Dorito dust went in there
I fucking
I know we shouldn't judge anyone there
but let's do it because we're bullies
because we were up
top stalls looking down
yeah good seats
they were good I got to
see the
fucking ghoulish double bass player yeah at the end the longest standing ovation i've ever seen
anything being given in my fucking career like oh yeah how long i know you're wrong it was amazing
it was so so good yeah like they deserve that amount of fucking applause but so long one guy
and like they deserve that amount of fucking applause but so long
one guy
seven rows up
just like
clapping
like fucking leading the applause
just kept like fucking pointing at them and smiling
and it just
I don't know
just him being like
hey
my fucking
my boy
hey Debra
crush that violin tonight Debra
my boy on violin
Viola
my boy
I'm not forgetting you
Mr.
Oboe
oh no
Oboe
yeah it was
pretty good
I forgot how
long that
clap was
I remember
at one point
going right
come on
I mean they
can't be making
a lot of money
those people
in an orchestra
no no
like it's
gotta be
surely it's
gotta be
hobby
like you've
got another
job and then like at your office show people like what are you doing your Friday night and you're like no Like it's gotta be Surely it's gotta be Hobby Like you've got another job
And then like
At your office shop
People are like
What are you doing
With your Friday night
And you're like
No interaction
And you're there
I'm gonna get my
Tuxedo pressed
And go out
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah
Yeah surely can't be
They were old as well
They were quite old
The orchestra
Yeah
A lot of grey hair
Which I didn't expect
Yeah I reckon once you're retired, you get into it,
and that's when you fucking really come out to it.
The younger ones, I was just like, I wonder how much.
Because obviously, when you're in primary school and high school,
you're like, man, when I become a bully,
sorry, when I, I was always a bully,
when I become an adult, I can't wait to live in a world
where cliques don't exist.
Like, we can put all the high school drama behind us.
There's no bitching, there's no bullies,ies there's none of this and then you become an adult and
you're like oh it doesn't matter what job i end up in there are cliques yeah there's bullying
there's this like it's in stand-up it's in fucking office jobs every time carol was at her work she
was like in this group we're doing this and i'm like oh we're all just human
do the fucking do you reckon like fucking double bass people Fucking hate the percussion people
Oh yeah for sure
They won't see them as real musicians
Nah nah nah
They proper sneer
They don't let them sit at like the table
Like one of the new drummers comes in
With his big fucking gong bongs
Can I sit with you guys
And they're like
There's no room
Nerd
And he's gotta go sit with the other percussion people
Or bang on the fucking table
Must be quite hard to bully them
Because you've got nobody to, like,
after your quips go,
ba-dooms.
Yeah.
That's the advantage.
Do it.
Ba-dooms.
Yeah.
Yeah, Derek, you fucking nerd.
Just every time you say something awful to him,
do the percussion, I don't want it.
You fucking do it.
That's where you got fucking wrecked, didn't you?
How badly did you get wrecked?
Yes.
Brian knows.
They're all called Derek and Brian in my head.
Yeah, yeah.
I can't come up with like.
And, you know, ethnical names.
Ethnical.
Ethnical.
Ethnical. Whichnical. Ethnical.
Which is ethnic and ethical.
Yeah, that's like you trying to be fucking woke
but going the other way.
I've noticed there's a lot of,
don't say C-H-I-N-K,
don't say C-H-I-N-K.
Ethnical.
Oriental.
Oriental.
There was one Lady of
Oriental persuasion
In the
In the orchestra
Yes
And she
No she wasn't wearing a poppy
Yeah very interesting
Maybe because her dad smoked too much
Yeah maybe
I didn't see many poppies actually
I forgot
I was aware of them
Because I had this conversation
With Cara the other day
Which is like
Across the road from us
Is a fucking church
And there were a bunch of poppies outside
And I had to remind myself
That I don't
I've been conditioned to think
That I hate the fucking poppy
Because of Colin
No no
No no Because all poppy defenders Are the Colin? No, no, no, no.
Because all poppy defenders are the worst cunts in the world.
Yeah.
Right?
People who are like, man,
they're all Brexit voting, bald, gammon fuckers.
Go away, you're fucking poppy.
Because I hate all of those people and everything.
I then have to remind myself of like,
oh, no, no, man, I am really grateful for all of our soldiers.
Yeah, yeah.
The dark world will want to do it.
I'm not against them.
I'm against how they fucking use it,
which I guess is like how a lot of English people
must feel about seeing this in George's Cross.
I like the poppy.
I'll say it.
I'm brave.
I don't like the poppy on the car.
No.
That feels actually disrespectful.
Also, because that's where the red nose goes.
Exactly, yeah.
Yeah.
They get there at time of year
Yeah
Eyelashes
Poppy
Uh huh
Bit of heather
Don't like any of that
Nah
People always put a bit of heather
On the front of their car
A bit of heather
Yeah it's apparently good luck
Fucking nice
But yeah the poppy on the car
I'm like
Who sees that
And goes
I love the troops that much
Fucking yeah yeah
I love them way more than you My car's got a poppy Yeah I put it on my fucking Prius I love the troops that much. I fucking, yeah, yeah. I love them way more than you.
My car's got a poppy.
Yeah, I put it on my fucking Prius.
I don't think that's what they died for.
The car, thinking about all the Jeeps that blew up.
A lot of them were wearing poppies.
And like, which fair enough, like I get like,
I understand the James McLean thing.
He's like, I'm not wearing a fucking poppy.
Yeah.
Because if it symbolises the British Army, what the British Army did to Ireland, I'm, like, I understand the James McLean thing. He's like, I'm not wearing a fucking poppy. Yeah. Because if it symbolises the British Army,
what the British Army did to Ireland, I'm not into it.
What did the British Army ever do to China?
Don't answer that.
I can't be bothered reading it.
Right.
I get it.
Heroin or something.
Nah, don't.
Wait, what?
Made them cool?
You're welcome, China.
Yeah, Jesus.
Also, they're giving us
fentanyl now
well I say that's
the yanks
are they
yeah yeah
heaps of like
the reason fentanyl
is in drugs in America
isn't because drug
dealers are like
fucking
to tell you what's
great for the market
killing 20% of my clients
yeah
it's the Chinese
being like this is
for 400 years ago
playing fucking
3D chess
fucking dolphin 3D chess fucking dolphin
3D chess is just chess
yeah I guess so I mean unless you
play on a computer yeah yeah which they
might because they're robots
correct here's a question for you from your western
perspective who's more evil China or Russia
oh China
yeah even though russia's doing
ukraine right now yeah but like china does their sneaky stuff don't they they're up to some badness
they're super sneaky that we don't know about because russia they're a bunch of white folk
aren't they yeah we know they're evil yeah but china russia's also doing it so blatantly They're eating the dogs Russia's doing it so blatantly
But still so fucking well
I'd be fucking evil if I lived in Russia
It's too cold
You gotta fit in
If I'm eating fucking cabbage soup
Every meal
In the freezing cold
Every James Bond movie you watch
Your dad's the bad guy
You're like, fucking what?
If all my fit women,
the second they turned 35,
turned into babushka,
I'd be fucking raging as well.
I'd fucking kill a few folk.
Here's your cabbage soup.
Fucking deaf to the west, actually.
Fucking over there with our heating food
and just drinking vodka
I don't even like vodka
oh but Russian vodka

trouble with Russia

yeah yeah
come on
I met some cool Russians
when I was over there

they the the evilness the russians like just in the sense that like
i think they're quite honest about their evilness.
Well, but they're just like,
by the way, we're interfering in all your elections.
The entire culture war you're having
is because we get bots to play the far right
and we get bots to play the far left
because you're all so fucking stupid.
You join the bots that are on your team
and you start screaming at each other
and now you don't have democracy anymore.
And people are like, hold on, hold on. The left is saying what straight in yeah yeah like the whole thing of like the
but the russians have slaves i feel like china's got a lot of slaves don't they

Yeah
They're like we're banning social media
For under 16s But yous are already fucked It's the same thing new zealand did with nicotine

life but all of you that started smoking ages ago keep going you're fucked you're like x man
that's responsible but it's not affected me big big fan because apparently we might that was one of
Rishi Sunak's
last things

like don't we know
I understand America
this idea of like freedom government shouldn't be wrong I understand America idea of like
freedom
government shouldn't be involved
in things
as an adult
the government
as long as the government's not evil
which I understand
is a very hard thing
to fucking get
as long as the government
isn't evil
they just have to be
the mums and dads
right
I'm gutted
they implemented
the sugar tax
that made iron brew
shitter
right
but I was never
I was never going to drink less
iron brew so they had to do that
for me but I like the coca-cola went

I've got it tattooed on my lower back
What was I going to say before
Some cigarettes
Oh yeah the land of the free and all that
They're not free though are they
No they don't know
We're the country of freedom
But also we have to stand up to a song
Twice a day
Yeah otherwise
Yeah yeah
You don't get any choice of what
you're taught in fucking schools you gotta sing the national anthem every fucking morning
like those communists we hate yeah pledge allegiance to the flag like i always just
thought i was like a name i didn't really think about the words of it and i went oh no they're
literally pledging allegiance to a flag during fucking baseball games twice it's not it's their
long games it's not it's not it's not
just at the start
that you've got to
stand up for the
fucking anthem
then like
after fourth fucking
inning they're like
let's do it again
it's everyone's
favourite banger
and they're like
you're not standing up
you're like
I'm Scottish
man
I'm not standing up
for your fucking
national anthem
I lied down
for the English one
I took the knee
for the English one
at the Tottenham
Hawkspur Stadium
good
during the NFL games
I sang
Star Spangled Banner
To the top of my lungs
And then the second
God Save the Queen
At the time
Me and Cullen
Took the knee
And I was like
God
The people sat behind us
Who would be like
What are they doing
It must be hard
For all the fucking
Racists in America
With the
Taking a knee
Because on one side Of the thing Taking the knee news you're not standing for the national anthem but
on the other side taking a knee is how they killed george floyd so they're like oh i fuck i like both
of those things yeah what's more i guess we need to think on this a bit more get tom horn
off of this podcast right now hello everyone uh this episode

using the promo code thisley sloss november at 10 discount all capitals all caps all caps um
the the whiskey cast cider used to be my favorite i think it still is my favorite but this is this
doesn't fuck around this This is real good.

so buy it quickly and drink it often.
Not too much.
Legally, not too much.
I mean, you can,

And with this delicious stuff,
very hard to do so.
Their Whiskey Cask one, which is my favourite.
It's very good.
It's amazing, right?
It's genuinely my fucking favourite.
Their award-winning one.
That comes in at 6.7 alcohol,
which for a fucking cider is a fair, fair wally.

Thistley Cross.

and then you're all bloated and stuff.
Three of these bad boys.
You're not drunk after three,
but you're like the perfect level of like tipsy, silly good.
It's the same way as they did the whiskey one, which is
obviously, it's just, it's not made from whiskey.
They just store it in whiskey casks.
Yeah, and it infuses. It's like an infuser.
Aye.
Man, it's so good. So, I mean,
I'll give you the promo code in a bit, but I assume it's
Thistley Sloss.
Thistley Sloss November 10.
Is there a number in it this time?
The sherry casks are running out
People aren't drinking sherry
Nearly as much as they did
Back in the day
Yeah
And so any like
Sherry cask whiskey
Or anything like that
You should invest now
That's my top tip
Oh
Because they're going to run out
Of the casks
They're going to run out of the casks
Oh that is wise
Ah
I was told that about 8 years ago
So time is I guess running out
Yeah yeah yeah
Because I guess when it's being stored in the gas
It must take some of the fucking
You can't do it forever there's got to be a time limit on those things
Oh yeah no because it would evaporate forever
We went on a
Distillery tour and they said that
A lot of whisky companies now just
Do sherry
And sell it
For piss cheap
Ah
So they have the cash
Just give the
Oh
Alright well forget my
God I thought
It was Martin Lewis
For a minute
Bye now
Sail high later
My grandad
Stores a bottle of whiskey
Called the Grand Slam
Dram
Which is when
Scotland last won
The Grand Slam
In the rugby
Fucking hell It was the five nations Back then Oh Who did we add in Italy And Slam Dram, which is when Scotland last won the Grand Slam in the rugby.
Fucking hell.
It was the Five Nations back then.
Oh, who did we add in?
Italy?
Yeah.
You can tell.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You can play as well.
Okay.
Yeah.
Dada Fasolo.
Yeah.
How are they going to catch a ball when their hands are always fucking like this? Yeah, you can't do it.
It's very difficult.
Make it hard for yourself.
I went to a game
in Napoli
and the only
I don't really
speak Italian
but I
before I got off
the ship
I was like
right just learn
the things you're
going to need to say
which is
scusa non parlo italiano
yeah great
sono scorsese
which means
I'm Scottish
oh I thought
it was
Martin Scorsese
and so
I was like that'll get you by
you don't need to know anything else and then my taxi driver
just refused to speak
English at all and I knew he could
oh yeah this is where my racism comes in
I'm like I fucking know you know
what I'm saying he was having a proper laugh with me
and I was like I don't understand
sir and then when I
got out he was like forza Napoli I was in Naples I was like I don't understand sir and then when I got out
he was like
Forza Napoli
I was in Naples
I was going to watch
Napoli
and he found it
hilarious
Forza is a fucking
card game
what are you
talking about
but when I went
Son of Scorsese
he went
do for Napoli
and I went
yeah Billy Gilmore
and Scott McTominay
and he was like
he found it hilarious
that I was there
to watch them
he was like
what are you doing here?
And you were like, if you fucking talk to me like that again,
I'm going to deep fry one of your pizzas.
I would as well.
They're so delicious.
Deep fried pizza crunch.
I know the Scots.
I know we've got the worst diet in the world, blah, blah, blah.
We're all fucking dumb.
For the record, if you've never had deep fried pizza, pizza crunch,
it is objectively fucking unbelievable.
It's so good.
You've got to lather it in all types of sauce.
You drown it in vinegar, you drown it in salt,
you drown it in a bit of fucking...
My mouth's literally watering now as you're talking about it.
So, so fucking...
We used to go swimming and leave in the swimming pool
like every fucking Wednesday.
And across the road afterwards, you go over,
you're like, I'm going to get a half pizza crunch.
And man, don't half pizza crunch and it's
man don't be wrong
it's
I'm gonna say minimum
2000 calories
yeah but
who cares
yeah but you're a teenager
in college
don't care about that
I used to get lunch
every school
like
and it was like
£1.20 back then
nowadays you don't know
where you're born
well fucking
I remember back in the day
batter bits used to be free
because they were aware
batter bits was just the bits
they chiselled off the side
and they're like
we could bin these
or we could just give them
to little fucking teenagers
fat pig children over there
with their faces
up against the window
because every
if you don't know this
every single high school
in at least Fife
is no more than
fucking 500 meters away
from a fish and chip shop yeah it's like how they have their bookies in poor areas yeah fish and
chip shops just all over the place and you're let out for lunch because they don't want to
fucking feed you because we're all bastards and they're like just if we just let them go outside
the school grounds for an hour there's a good chance one of them will get hit by a car and
tomorrow will be easier even if we just gradually reduce the amount of kids that come back day by day we're getting fucking done and we got
in trouble for so much fucking shit now i never did this but there was like a very stern lecture
in our high school whatever this is about to be i did it i don't care what it is you know about the
baking soda seagull thing that kids used to do Oh you put it on bread And make them explode
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Somebody in our school
Yeah no I never did that
If you put bacon soda
There's my dad
Dressed as fucking Santa
You do have a very
Dad on Christmas day
Look about you right now
Do I?
I think it's the green jumper
Well I gotta tell you this
And the chinos
This actually brings me on
To two things I want to
Talk to you about
I'll come back to the
Exploding seagulls in a bit First and and foremost during the french i can almost tell you the day
it was a thursday right remember this um it was we'd gone out you me our wives were hanging out
somewhere and uh carlin made a comment on something that i was wearing and you went to be fair Daniel actually does dress very
well now I think I kept my composure but like it's nice having a boy stand up for you and
then in the car on the way home car was like were you buzzing from that Gareth Comfort
I've not stopped thinking about it I've absolutely not stopped thinking about it
Especially coming from Cullen, who wears whatever fucking...
He can rake out a bin.
And then the other question...
Do you like my banana peel earrings?
I made them myself.
I'm going to sell them on Etsy.
Yeah, he does...
I nailed that impression.
That's exactly what I'm saying.
Hi, I'm Ryan Cullen.
He does look like...
He could... He would make a good punk.
Yes.
Maybe steampunk.
Not anymore.
No.
Like if you could put a fake mohawk on him.
Yeah.
You can't do the spikes or that anymore.
He'd be a real good white nationalist.
Perfect for it.
He looks like someone who'd be way happier.
He'd hate himself though because he looks so about... He'd hate himself, though,
because he looks so much like an alien.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I guess for him, like,
I feel like the only reason Cullen isn't, like,
proper racist is because he associates racism
with the English and he refuses to do anything English.
Yeah.
Like, if the English, like, legalised gay marriage
before the rest of the world,
he'd be a fucking homophobe.
Yeah, of course.
You can't let them marry.
Yeah.
The sanctity is ruined.
Yeah.
It's disgusting.
It's absurd.
It's like you're from the island of fucking fairies.
My other, I want to ask you a personal question.
Yeah.
How do you feel about my beard?
It's better now that you've put the fade going down the way.
Does a barber do that?
No, no.
It just doesn't grow?
No.
I was like, I'll let it grow out,
and then it'll all look like a fucking beard,
and then only little bits grow out,
and I looked a bit amish-y,
and I was like, I've got to fucking trim that down.
But I remember early on in the beard growing experiment,
you were trey against it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It didn't look good for a while, and I get that.
I just have been...
That's why you compliment me so much.
I've trod this path before.
I remember a few years back when you tried to do the beard,
and it was so bad.
It was so bad.
It was dreadful.
That was 10 years ago, yeah.
It was real upsetting.
It was more ginger then.
It was.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So it's definitely on your turf. Yeah then it was yeah yeah so step it on your turf
yeah i was like all right buddy there's only one of us allowed in every group yeah your lot don't
get bullied anymore apparently i've heard this generation yeah they don't really care but i
don't believe that yeah and also so much to take the low-hanging fruit kids yeah but it's it's the
one bit where i like the thing i've always complained about the older fucking generation right is how angry they are that it's easier for the younger
generation it's like well surely that's exactly what you want is you want your kids to live an
easier life than you did because that shows that the world is growing and getting fucking better
and then now as i'm getting older i'm like what do you mean kids don't have to fuck kids don't
get the tp jab anymore that cunt doesn't have a scar i didn't get what i was immune you know you get the tester thing oh the
six the six the six pricks mines were still there they were like you're immune and i was like fuck
yeah um i there's a meme that gets shared by boomers a lot that you know it's like a photo
of d-day and it's like 1945 18 year olds
storm the beaches of Normandy
to certain death
and now they need a safe space
18 year olds
because they don't like
like hot soup
like
well that's what they were fighting for
that's what that was for
you fucks
yeah
no did you prefer
when all the teenagers were dying
yeah yeah
that was better
kill them all
I know we have the
like
the problem with the word hero, right,
is like it creates an image.
I wouldn't call myself a hero, but sure.
I just say silly things on podcasts.
Like these people, the kids,
the teenagers that fucking died in World War II,
literally fighting,
dying for the fight against fucking fascism,
are heroes because they did that
despite how fucking terrified they were,
how scared they were.
They were asked to step up.
They fucking did.
They did it in fucking abundance.
But like the time they were doing it,
they were like,
woo!
Like read it.
Listen to any of the fucking stories
and they're all like,
all the best people died.
I lost so many friends.
It was terrified.
It was fucking scary.
They would be the good people that die though.
Like I would survive.
Yeah.
For sure.
Because I'd be kind of hiding and then eventually just put my gun up just a little bit like, pew.
But the guys that are, like, running in with, like, grenade pins in their teeth, they are obviously the best guys.
But they are definitely dead.
Apparently, same thing for the Holocaust.
I read a book about a Holocaust survivor who was, like, the best of us died in Auschwitz because, like were the ones that like gave up their food they were
the ones that like whenever one of the nazis were like one of you did this thing and you'll all be
punished unless one of you admits it and like even somebody who didn't do it would fucking step
forward yeah right take the fucking punishment for it whereas there were jews who i think they
were called stasi or something like that i might be getting that mixed up with someone else but
they were the ones that like worked for the germans the nazis in the camps and they were called Stasi or something like that. I might be getting that mixed up with someone else. But they were the ones that, like, worked for the Germans,
the Nazis in the camps.
And they were the ones that were like,
you should kill that one because, you know,
he's less useful and she's a bit fucking lazy.
Yeah.
An Uncle Tom.
Yeah, a Jewish Uncle Tom.
An Uncle Sloan.
What?
Thistley Cross, everybody.
What a refreshing drink
Do you ever find yourself
In an awkward moment
Get out of it
Get rid of the other dross
With a lovely
Thistley Cross
You should do like
A 40s style advert for it
Yeah
By God
By God
Nine out of ten doctors
Recommend Thistley Cross
I'm not at cancer since
Or every time I drink it Just like Can doctors recommend Thistley Cross? I'm not a cancer since.
Or every time I drink it,
just like loads of big titted women throw themselves at me.
Like a Lynx advert.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And we laugh at like a fucking fat person.
I got given Lynx for my birthday.
A big tub of-
Recently?
This year, September.
I got a big Huge shower gel
Of Lynx Africa
Oh my god
My nan gave me it
And
I tried it
In the shower
And then I came out
And I was like
Do you smell like Lynx Africa
And I went
Yeah you horny
And she went
No it's so gross
She was like yeah
The puddle underneath
Is used for the shower
The puddle underneath
Is used for
My voice broke
She Yeah she was like You smell like a 16 year old And I was like A sexy 16 year old Yeah, the puddle underneath you from the shower, the puddle underneath you. My water's broke.
She was like, you smell like a 16-year-old.
I was like, a sexy 16-year-old.
What was the other thing she copied to it today?
You know those little shots you can get that are like ginger and turmeric?
Yeah.
I was buying them because I really like them,
but they're too quite a pop and they're tiny.
So I just bought all the stuff and started making them today.
Great. And Laura came into the kitchen and she went
What are you doing?
I'm just making ginger juice
And she was like
Say that again
I'm making ginger juice
Just stood in the kitchen making ginger juice
She was like I can do that too
Sorry, giving you purple nurples
You know, safe words
The annoying thing is, safe word.
The annoying thing is my safe word is ginger juice.
Yeah, just great. She was like, yeah, you make it.
I did make it, it was delicious.
I was going to bring you some but there wasn't enough and I want it all myself.
I would absolutely have,
one very thoughtful thing, I can't believe this is the stage of our life we're in where like, me, Jamie being like, I want a very thoughtful thing
I can't believe this is the stage of our life we're in
We're like
Me genuinely being like
I'm a bit gutted
The guy didn't bring me any ginger juice
Well
I'm a bit gutted
I wasn't offered a tea or coffee
The ten years I've known you
When I've showed up to your house
You're a shit host
I only do that
To be fair I do that
I do that only for the tradies that come in my house
I'm a tradie
Yeah yeah But you're tradies I'm in here doing a job Aye One two Yeah I do that only for the tradies that come in my house. I'm a tradie. Yeah, yeah, but you're tradies.
I'm in here doing a job.
One, two.
Yeah, I do.
You are right.
I do not offer tea or coffee.
Never once.
Now I just make my own.
Aye.
Maybe that's what I was angling for.
So when we were driving over, I said to Laura,
do Daniel and Cara have a coffee machine?
She went, I don't know.
Like that.
And that was the first question I'd asked the whole trip.
She's eight months pregnant.
She's so angry.
Like a champ.
She is so angry.
She's rushing at the minute.
Yeah.
She's ready to launch.
For those of you that don't know,
the final month of pregnancy lasts seven months.
And you can tell she's grown a woman
because the nagging has went way up.
There's two of them.
The power of two.
Cara's pregnancy with our girl
was way worse than her pregnancy with boy.
That is like,
for those who think that we're just being sexist,
one, you're right, obviously.
Why don't you fucking stop this,
you nagging bitches?
But second of all,
there is science that backs it up.
We were sexist first,
then we found the science.
We went, oh, cool, great.
Yeah, yeah, that's what we did.
Do your own research. Yeah. We enjoyed being sexist so much, we found the science. Oh, cool, great. Yeah, that's what we did. Do your own research.
Yeah.
We enjoyed being sexist so much, we went to the scientist.
Surely, surely you can prove this.
First one we went to was a woman, which was a nightmare.
Really?
You're a scientist?
Did Oprah Winfrey give her degrees?
What are you doing?
Putting lipstick on rabbits?
Is it that kind of science
by the way
where are those rabbits
I want to get a little
fucking look at you
tell me who's sexy
the rabbit was
was it like Lola Bunny
from Space Jam
or the Caramel Bunny
from the 90s
oh she would have
fucking got it
little neck scarf
I'd fucking pull
out
I'd be at it
like rabbits
I'll tell you that
for free
she'd get a wee carrot
you want some
you want some ginger juice

Cara mildly told me off
About three weeks ago
We walked past a big fucking church
I don't know if they might have told this
On the podcast already
But We walked past a church And Caelan saw it It was a big fucking church. I don't know if they might have told this on the podcast already.
But we walked past a church and Kayla saw it.
It was a big, massive church.
Kayla went, what's that?
And I went, a place where stupid people go.
She went, no, no, no.
No, she's like, we should do that with a mosque.
I'm like, walk me past a mosque and let's find out.
The answer is fucking yeah. Daddy, why are all these shoes out here?
Are these free shoes?
Yeah, there's a massive soft play in there, man.
Actually, there was was we'd never know
yeah man
maybe
maybe that's what
they're up to
praise Allah
yeah
if every mosque
was in
jacob
they're all going
down the slides
on their wee carpets
there's so
there's so many
muslims listening
it's going
shab
shab
get up
get up
just see two red dots appear in our head
And they stay there
Welcome to the club
Oh, it's that easy, is it?
I still put more than salt and pepper on my food
That's one thing I do like about the
the middle eastern cultures
is like the idea
of recipe books and
how much do you add
to a sauce or a meal
is such a white person thing
because they're like okay and then add some turmeric
and we're like how many spoonfuls
and they're like fucking add some turmeric throw it up in the air whatever lands in the bowl that's the amount yeah yeah
fucking now is that because we used to make them so poor that we gave them the worst cuts of meat
and they had to dull out the fucking flavor sure all right but through our aggression
we created culture so if anything anything, they're all welcome.
Do you like cricket, guys?
You're welcome.
You do.
I've seen you.
You fucking love it.
You're mad for it.
We got you into the worst sport.
That's mad.
That's how impressed you were.
Hey, guys, do you like dominoes?
How did we not get you cunts into football?
How does India not have one of the greatest footballing teams in the world?
There's a 1.5 billion of the fuckers now.
Yeah.
None of them can kick a ball.
There's not many like even like in the Prem really.
Is there?
Man, not even in fucking FIFA.
There must have been an Indian person in the Prem, surely.
Not a single one.
Indian Premier League Players
Hang on
The Indian Premier League
Is the cricket
So I've put
Indian Premier League
And it's just come up
With cricket stuff
Yeah
I think that actually
Answers the question though
Yeah it did not
There's never been
An Indian Premier League player
Yeah
Surely
I mean We're the two worst people
Go Google it find out
Just a single Indian Premier League player
And not like from Birmingham
We want a proper one
Not one of ours
One of theirs
See we've said that in the Toad of Erases
But the message was woke
One of ours we said
We didn't say go back home
We said stay home
Yeah one of ours
Stay at home
Yeah
Well that's what I often get
Confused by
It's like
The first generation
Second generation
Third generation
Right
First generation
Like
Immigrant is
You like
You
From another country
You come over You stay here and then
like after a fucking 10 years we're like ah you're one of ours yeah if you pop one out that's ours
immediately it's born on this land it's ours second generation immigrants always ours yeah
comes out fucking if it comes out with our accent class nothing nothing funnier and greater to me
than a fucking black lad with a scottish accent
i cannot get enough yeah yeah i think it's so good yeah because like you'd always hear about
like english actors going over to america they were black and then like their heads being wrecked
they had like a english accent yeah what is happening to you are you just are you just acting all of the time? There's Zesh
Reman of Pakistani origin
And Michael Chopra of Indian origin
Chopra
Name that team
Portsmouth
Just say yes Matthew
Newcastle
United
The opposite end of the country
Portsmouth a good guess Yeah yeah Pure guess Cider I saw you now the opposite end of the country oh well poor smith
good guess
yeah yeah
pure guess
I'm going to grab another
cider
how much longer
have we got to do
5-10 minutes
oh well then
I guess I'm not
I'll do one for the ad first
we were talking about
the
exploding
oh yeah
seagulls
the seagulls
aye
aye aye
so
there were rumours
going round back in the days before social media
that if you put baking soda onto a chip and you fed it to a seagull,
because seagulls love chips, that the seagull would explode.
And we all heard this.
And obviously in your head, you think it's going to be like fireworks, right?
You think the seagull's going to eat the chips, fly away, puff the feathers.
Yeah, it sounds like what it would be like.
Yeah, nah.
I didn't see it, but I had a friend that was there
after the bigger kids had done it,
and it's just like the seagull walks around and just goes,
and then falls over, and then just part of its sight just...
Yeah, real sad.
Nah, seagulls deserve it Fuck them
They do
I've seen Gus Limbaugh
Once
He was a very good
Scorch comedian
Sitting with
A packet of chips
On his chest
In the middle of
Union Street
In Aberdeen
With one
Hand
And any time
A seagull swooped
For one
He fucking
Clocked it
Like a human mousetrap
That's so good
Very Gus as well
God it was funny
Seagulls and pigeons
Never sad when they die
Pigeons I don't mind so much
Seagulls
I don't
Don't fuck with seagulls
No
Pigeons
No
They're just
Is there any animal
Makes you
Like irrationally angry
Flies
Yeah
Regular
If I could
If I could talk to flies
I would be like
By the way
90% less of you
Would die
If you just didn't
Make a fucking noise man
The number one reason
You're fucking killed
Isn't because you're flying
In people's vision
It's because you're going
And it's because They're flying in people's vision. It's because you're going...
And it's because they're sneaky.
They're always like...
And they eat shit.
Yeah, well, I eat ass.
I can see eye to eye with them on that one.
You like this when you're doing it?
I get to lick a butthole.
Great little visual gag for a pod Flies are gross man
I hate their little hands rubbing
I absolutely fucking hate flies
I hate one of my cats
Spizer
A lot
A lot of fucking
Some
I don't mind spiders
But there are some spiders
I see when I'm like that
you don't need to be
you don't need to be that big
tarantulas fine
those are massive
big fucking legs
you make sense to me
they're quite soft
guys aren't they tarantulas
they're actually not that violent
they're just slow
even fucking camel spiders
which is like the big massive ones
I don't mind those
because those are like
all in proportion
see spiders
that are just
the fucking ball
yeah
with huge legs
Get
What are you
A kid's drawing
Come to life
Get fucked
How did you walk off
The page of a Halloween
Decoration
And just exist in the world
Not having that
Looking like the faces
On a P1 tea towel
100%
Just
Not on
Not on
I don't know if they still do the tea towel anymore
Oh yeah
Did you do those when you were a kid?
It's an extremely British thing I would say
So yeah
One day in class
You're given like this tiny little fucking
You just to draw a picture of yourself
Like draw you
You're 5, 6, 7 years old
They do it throughout the years
You draw a picture of yourself
You give it to the teacher
She sends it away
Three months later
They charge your parents
Twenty quid
To buy three of these things
To
And it's just all of the kids
In your class
Printed on
Their drawings of themselves
On a tea towel
And you give it to your gran
For Christmas
Yeah
Yeah
They're great
But yeah
I guarantee
I guarantee I will ask my gran She's in the house guarantee it would be like i will ask my gran
she's in the house right now i guarantee if i go ask my gran if she's still got all of her details
i can't and she's moved house recently i'm confident that those made the move yeah yeah
for sure yeah they're so good but yeah all the drawings because you're like what five yeah
they're just like a circle And like no hands just like three
Fingers coming out the side of your face
And then like little eggs
And you're like god I'm beautiful
Did you ever get the
Were you ever part of like poetry books
Because we had that a bunch of times
Like you had to write a poem
And then they would collate all the fucking poems
Into a thing like you're going to be published
I'm like what from all the other kids
that were forced to write poems in Fife?
Well, I wrote a poem in primary school
and it was the best poem of all the children.
Of all time.
Maybe.
Not a hard thing to do.
There was a guy writing a book about Rosalind
and he asked if he could publish it in his book.
And my mum went yeah sure
I don't know if it ever was
and certainly didn't see any royalties from it
but I remember
yeah it was like one of those where
acrostic
what did you fucking call me
I just don't like eye contact alright
it's like yeah
Roslyn wrote down the sides
and so it was like R is for the river that runs through the glen
O is for the original
Which was the pub
Where people meet now and then
S is for the streets that make up this historic town
L is for the lovely people
You meet all around
I is for
Something else
And N is for those fucking
Get them out This is not the Roslyn I is for something else. And N is for those fucking...
Get them out! This is not the
Roslin I fought for!
Thistley Cross.
You're telling me a...
You're telling me a seven-year-old wrote...
Show those darkies who's boss and have
a Thistley Cross.
That's the slogan, isn't it? I don't think I can say darkies who's boss and have a thistly cross that's the slogan isn't it yeah yeah yeah i mean i don't think i could say darkies anymore surely no i feel like well i feel like doing wrong absolutely not
but i feel like darkies is one of those ones where it's offensive because it's like so unspecific
like the reason why parkaki was such a big insult
was because it was just white fucking Brits
calling anyone brown.
Like this is the only part of this section of the world
that contains 2 billion people.
And in my head, you're all from this bit.
That's why that, I feel like that's,
dark is just being like That's the
Anything that's not
Pale as
Tonka cream
Yeah
Tonka cream
It's like vanilla in it
Aye
Anyway
I feel like it's made it weird
It's okay
I had Cullen on last week
There was way more
Oh great
Yeah yeah yeah
Heaps more
His racism is even
Thinly veiled
Just there
The only thing thin about him
Is his skin
Yeah he said that
He brought that up
When he was being tested
For the kilt fitting
She called him
The woman just
Managed to put the entire
Fucking
Measuring tape around him
Four times
Rubbing like a wee bone
Like you're very slender
Yeah And then he went Slender man And we went Sure I fucking Measure and tape around him Four times Rub him like a wee bone And went you're very slender Yeah
And then he went
Slender man
And we went
Sure
You're just saying two words now
I'm sure that woman
Delivered it like a great joke
You're very slender
Slender man
That's what she said
I think more excruciatingly
I then made that joke
On the podcast last week
Did you
I think so
Oh no
It's okay
It's okay
I don't think anyone important
Listens to this
Oh good
Yeah
Glad to be on
Yeah
Thanks for having me
We really
We don't really grow
As a podcast
We maintain
Yeah
I like to plateau
Nice and early
Yeah
Though I did have a friend of mine
Claire
Message me
Last week
After the Cullin episode
She'd be like
Couldn't give me a heads up
That you were
Talking about death
And the best ways to die On your podcast With Cullin before I listened to like can you give me a heads up that you were talking about death and the best ways to die
on your podcast
with Cullin
before I listened to it
because her dad
sadly passed away last week
she wanted to come with
a trigger warning
and I was like
I don't assume
that anyone listens
to this podcast
the only person I assume
listens to this podcast
never does
and that's Jean
oh
yeah
so we can say
whatever we like about Jean
no occasionally
Eric
her partner who listens to all of this podcast
Will tell her
Snitch
He'll tell her that we've mentioned her on a podcast
And then she'll come and listen to that podcast
Because she's a dirty little narcissist
And then she'll message me about the podcast episode
To make me think that she actually listens to all the episodes
Wow
Sounds like you have a great relationship
She's a woman
And do you know
What they be
Shopping
They do be
Look I know
It's a stereotype
But you take them
To a shop
And say

The only glass ceiling you'll be breaking
Is across your fucking head

And I realise I've got to stop being sexist
To her around the house
