Hello and welcome to another episode of Sloss and Humphreys on the road.
We've decided against jingles.
Well, we've decided against jingles by the end of the podcast.
So throughout the podcast, you will hear Kai trying to make many jingles happen
that are not going to be allowed to happen.
I'm sorry they're there. There's nothing we can do.
He tried.
Look, it's a democracy and we've had one vote each.
I voted for jingles he voted against jingles
so it's over to you
to decide
we talk a lot of shit
on this episodes
just about the gigs
that we've done
and how classy we are
now that we eat
Michelin star food
and then we proceed
to get a whole bunch
of science
mostly wrong I think
I mean I've read
all of this information from
new scientists. I believe that
you read it. What I don't believe is that you
absorbed it and passed it on with
100% accuracy. That's the
whole point of the bit. Right, okay. Try the science
guy which doesn't have a jingle, even though it deserves
a jingle.
There's a new section of the podcast. If you're one of
our Patreon subscribers, thank you very much for
the money that you constantly give us. We do appreciate it.
We appreciate you the most.
Yeah, I mean, I know we've still not
changed the studio yet, but it's
happening. It will happen. Just
keep watching this space. But only
when the rest of these guys get on board.
Yeah, 100% of you. Otherwise, we're just spending it on drugs.
You know the rules.
Until we get 100% conversion
into Patreon, that we're not
we're just going to be irresponsible with it that's look we did on the last episode we spent
our money on booze we didn't give them an excellent drunk podcast i which was much funnier
than the solo we just did oh the hungover one that you lose us get Gareth. Aye. Enjoy the podcast, guys. Thanks for being here. Sloss and Humphreys on the road.
Muggins and cream, cream and muggins.
Straight thuggin', livin' the dream.
That's our intro.
Fuckin' muggles.
Ticklin' the clit inside your head that makes you laugh.
Woo-hoo!
Ha-ha-ha!
They said it can't be done.
Are we in the same seats?
That's hack.
Aw, muggles.
Accidental rip job in the park.
Kiss, kiss, kiss.
Or am I just being cynical?
Just muggled it up on fucking Mugglopedia.
Where have you been since 9-11?
We kind of touched on it last week.
Well, on the Patreon, when we were talking about the dog fiasco.
Yes.
But I was on my way to...
Very well-received podcast, by the way.
Was it?
Yeah, a lot of people said that.
Well, listen to that, you fucking cheap cunts
who are listening to this free episode.
You hear that?
You hear that?
You hear how good our episodes are that you can't afford?
You fucking tight wankers.
They get the drunk episode, you all get the hungover one.
Ah, you enjoy this, you losers.
Kenny, welcome to the podcast.
Thanks for listening.
Thanks for choosing us ahead of the many other podcasts
you could choose.
Well, I'm sure you... But you don't really choose us ahead of the many other podcasts you could choose. Well, I'm sure you...
But you don't really choose us
ahead of them.
I'm sure you listen to lots.
I'm sure we're...
No.
Are we in a polyamorous relationship
with our listeners?
Yeah.
There's no way
we're the one podcast.
Because I don't go around
doing other podcasts.
I kind of do.
You know, we all do.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, that is...
I was on Have A Word
three weeks ago.
I can't.
I feel like they listen
to more other podcasts than I go on other podcasts't. I feel like they listen to more other podcasts
than I go on other podcasts.
So I feel like this is a disjointed open relationship.
I do.
I feel like I'm the man and you're the hot woman
in this relationship.
I was talking to the listener, not you.
Aye.
Well, hey.
Would you be happy with that?
If I was like, I'm the man and you're the hot woman.
Would you not feel
degraded because I called you a woman?
No, because I don't think it's degrading to be a woman.
What I find about this is it's degrading
to be
told you something that you're not.
So it's not, in that situation
it's not about, oh, being a woman's so bad
that it would be terrible. It's like, if you said
it were a woman, you're like a bloke. That's also degrading for them. Because it's not about Oh being a woman So bad That it would be terrible It's like If you said You're like a bloke
That's also degrading
For them
Because it's not
What they are
Unless they are
And then they're like
Finally somebody
Notices me
Jeez I've been
Wearing jeans for years now
I can't believe
You've finally
Yeah
Thank you
I feel seen
So anyway
On the drunk podcast
You brought up
No no
We were talking about
The dog fiasco
I was on my way
To take
My son swimming
Because he's got to learn
How to swim
So that he's not scared of water
So that he's not one of those
Fucking losers
That holds his nose
When he goes down a flume
And I've spent some time
With your son
And he does breaststroke
With his lips
He does at the moment
He is
How can you drown
When you're motorboating
all the time
so like the first
week we go
Cara goes in the
water with him first
before we take him
to a pool by ourselves
and we're like look
we'll take him into a
pool for the first time
together
and then we'll go
take him in classes
with other kids and stuff
and it's great
we dunk him into the
water
it's the first time
to Cara I'm like it's the one thing I'm like it's it i know it's gonna suck but you have to do it
constantly and regularly just to normalize it he can't be he can't be scared of water right
you dunk him in you left him out you go yay and he fucking and and that just and by the time he's
three years old he doesn't remember a time when he couldn't go under the water yeah and he's not
scared and it's just so easy and and that's why when they're young,
you put them on roller coasters as soon as you can, right?
You put them on anything fast.
And just on a pair of stilts.
No, no, no, on my shoulders and with the hoodie up.
Oh, yeah.
We're not fucking idiots.
You know, it's the same thing, like, so,
sorry to go off topic
a little bit
but you know the podcast
the other day
when we were in Sweden together
Kara was having a fucking nightmare
because there was a spider
in the bathroom
right
oh yeah
and there was nothing she could do
apart from
it was the first thing she told me
when we got back
yeah
because she thought she'd killed it
yeah
but then like
it was just like the terminator
like one red eyeball
hanging out
and fucking
it's because she can't
I'm like
I'm like just put something something on top of it.
Get a giant wad of kitchen roll, right,
and just smash down on top of it.
Just put some wellies on.
Put some wellies on and just fucking go to...
Hazmat suit.
Yeah, do whatever it is you can do.
Or just learn a little bit about the ego system of Scotland.
That's not going to do you any harm.
Well, these are all...
You're applying logic to an illogical fear.
Practice stoicism.
I mean, I can't even tell her to do that.
I practiced stoicism for like two weeks
and I was like, God, this is boring.
I don't argue with anyone anymore.
I really like the principle of it,
the get between emotion and action.
So you're not being reactive.
You feel the emotion,
oh, there's a spider,
and your instant reaction
is to be like,
ah, there's a spider, ah.
Oh, no, no.
You can go,
how about I don't do that?
Well, she,
in her defense,
she does do this.
She doesn't scream.
She doesn't fucking run away
because I've always said to her,
I'm like,
you can't pass this fear
on to Caelan, obviously.
You've got to.
So she does.
She'll be composed,
but when he's in the other room sleeping,
she can freak out to herself
and she's having a fucking terrible time
anyway
so my whole point is
you want to pass on fears
I want to have a son
that's able to do
well not just a son
a child that's able to do anything
he's not held back by fears
she takes him into the pool first time
and it's her and all the other mums
and it's great
you just watch them dunking him
and like singing songs and like getting used to the water and it's great you watch the other mums and it's great you just watch them dunking them and like singing songs
and like getting them used to the water
and it's great
you watch them go around for 30 minutes
it's very adorable
it's very fulfilling
right
last week
was my go
I was dead excited Kai
I was very excited
to take my son swimming
my dumbass
just because the week before
Cara was going in
she's the mum
and the pool was filled
with other mums
so my dumbass goes I'm in the pool was filled with other mums. So,
my dumb ass goes,
I'm in the pool this week,
it'll obviously
be all the other dads.
Whereas,
Well,
did you think everyone
was going to have
the same thought process
where they were like,
right,
switcheroo.
Well,
I guess I just forgot
that other people
have real jobs.
Yeah.
Like real,
like in my head,
It's all the mothers
who are still on mat leave.
Yeah,
yeah,
aye.
So it's all the,
yeah,
the mothers with like their mums
Or their friends that have come along to just watch it
Or, you know, plenty of mothers that are just there by themselves for the lessons
And then just, just me, the only da
Aye
Aye, only da in a pool for my mums
Aye, I just, I can't get out
And
And we were late
Aye, late to class, took the wrong turn off
And you were rescuing a dog Well, that's one of the reasons why we were late. Oh, yeah. I was late to class. Took the wrong turn off. And you were rescuing a dog.
Well, that's one of the reasons why we were also late
is because we were rescuing a dog.
Well, I mean, I was near you while you were rescuing.
And also, I was very up for the dog just being left to die
because I was like, that's a stupid dog.
You were running that dog into the road.
Aye, aye.
Well, no, no, the dog was running itself into the road.
Any dog, if you're running and you're not looking in the direction you're going i don't have that much sympathy when you get hit by something but that's
it like children and dogs can't like children up to a certain age obviously can't do the mathematics
required for like the the volume of a car and the speed it's moving and the mass and the trajectory and the speed.
It's just not in their capacity to process it.
So you can't go, oh, that dumb dog running towards a road
where there's cars where it's going to get hit.
It doesn't know what it's going to be like when that happens.
Well, then it's poorly trained.
How are you trusting your dog with someone else to take on a walk?
It shouldn't have been off the lead.
Aye, there you go.
That's where we are.
Aye, that's what I mean.
And if it's off the lead when you get hit by a car,
I guess you learned a lesson for your next dog.
That's some negative reinforcement for the dog walker.
Anyway, back to the swimming.
You're the only dad.
Only dad in the pool of mums.
And I'm absolutely fine with that. You're just mansplaining all the swimming. You were the only dad. Only dad in the pool of mums. And I'm absolutely fine with that.
That's not...
Oh, you're just mansplaining
all the swimming stuff to them.
Yeah, you are.
Every time the swimming instructor
said that, you were like...
No, no, no.
The instructor was a mad guy.
So I was obviously like,
ladies, ladies, listen, listen up.
No, he's a bloke.
I'm obviously fine with mother mums.
We go in, they've all got cute babies.
Falling babies. You were with mothermums as if you wouldn't be.
Well, I don't know.
No, but I was saying to Cara,
I was like, I guess there would be some other people there
where that would be their fucking worst nightmare
of, you know, oh God, you know,
it's just me in a pool of other women.
I'm the only fucking dad.
Whereas I'm like, makes zero difference to my life.
I've been.
It's strange.
Why, like, why why like that is a
you know when I was a kid I went to this
birthday party and it was
the last from school and I went and I was
the only boy there in the whole birthday
party. And it makes you feel weird?
And I was fucking mortified, I was really embarrassed
and like I don't know why, like why
is that a thing? Is that just
Well I think it's because
maybe it's probably
from just the way we are
in primary school
with each other
I mean you guys
didn't do fucking
dancing at any point
in school
did you
that's fucking harrowing
what you were telling me
about the Kaley dancing
lessons where
boys on that side of the room
girls on that side of the room
and now go
pick a partner
and you're like
what is this
it's bad enough
when you're picking
football team
and you're like
pick taking turns and picking people in our school as well it was bullshit because I always picked the ginger kids What is this? It's bad enough, right? When you're picking football team and you're like pick-taking turns
and picking people.
In our school as well,
it was bullshit
because I always picked the ginger kids
last regardless of skill.
Like literally regardless of skill.
Like me and Martian would be sitting there
at the end.
You and who?
Stephen Martin, Martian.
Right, okay.
At the end, he was class footballer.
How was that right?
He was mint.
Those people were like,
wait, fat kids getting picked.
So fats
ranked above gingers
in the
Geordie school.
Is ginger like the worst thing
you could be?
Just guess and see.
Fat ginger.
Okay.
Right.
Okay.
Okay.
That's so bad.
I'm like
why are we like this
when we grow up
and I'm like
oh because in school
it was fucking brutal.
Because it was like law of the jungle and now you're an adult and you've just literally learned
how to fight to survive and degrade other humans to try and put yourself above them and value
and then they just release you into the world and go okay be a functioning member of society now
don't hurt anyone all right and kids are awful like you know before they before they develop empathy in their 30s
i developed empathy way late i definitely got it i really missed my 20s when i was just carefree
i was so careless that i didn't care about anyone
and i got by i'm just taking other people into consideration all the time and it takes so much energy it sucks
that's why I turn it off every now and again
just give myself holidays from it
I think that's what a lot of British people use holidays for
they're like god I'm so polite at home
I tell you what I'm gonna go to
Spain and be a fucking cunt
and be rude back
yeah yeah
aye Spain you definitely did start it
So
Is there more to add that you went with the mums?
Well yeah, yeah, so I'm in with the mums
And we're swimming along, I'm talking to all the mums with the
Babies they've got, man we're comparing babies
They're telling me my baby's cute, I'm telling them
Their baby's cute, it's a great day
I dunk my son, he doesn't cry, I'm like
Oh my god, what a brave boy, great, great, great
All fine Occasionally the guy guy's like mums just do this and he goes oh sorry mums and dads and
i'm like man i know you just say mums it's what i'm saying like i'm not going um um me mums and
mums no buddy just say mums i know or parents i don't care it makes no difference to my life
uh that's what
in the golf lessons
I've been doing
there's a woman
on the course
and the guy
has to keep checking
himself on that
he's like
alright gentlemen
and lady
you're like
I know you've
recovered it
because you said
gentlemen first
yeah
but it's just
just go guys
guys
blokes
I use guys
lads is gender neutral
as far as I'm concerned.
Aye.
I definitely use guys
as gender neutral.
Aye.
Anyway,
so he's doing that
the entire time.
I'm like,
it's absolutely fine.
I'm,
you know,
I'm the only dad
in the group of mums.
And then,
at the end,
he was like,
and I did,
none of us asked for this.
He's just like,
okay,
because it's unisex changing rooms,
because of course it's a family swimming pool
and he goes
okay ladies
just remember
just because
it's unisex
doesn't mean dad
over here wants to see everything
and I'm like
do not
I can't get involved
in any of this banter
like I'm holding the baby
and I'm not picking up
your shit chat at this point
like I'm not
like that's a bit
you can throw it in my direction
I'm not fucking touching
making me look like some kind of peeping tom no no not even my baby i'm just trying to buy in
i think no no i think he was trying to do i think what he was trying to do was he was trying to be
like okay it's the other way around so it's you know yeah so he's like i'm trying to make them
feel more comfortable but i think it all came from like a good place but just no
just don't mention it
if he's like
oh ladies
I know it's a
what was the word again
unisex
I know it's a unisex changing room
but there's no need to show them
everything
and you were just like
fucking angry
you cock blocking motherfucker
what
alright well
I'll just get his mum in
to change him then
since there's nothing in this for me
I was about to say
eight new tits
hoping it's an even number
bit of strange
it wasn't
you know
just when
somebody just
somebody handing you
and again
he didn't mean it in a bad way
and
you know what
I guess it broke tension
because the rest of us
all just looked at each other
like
oh like the
referee from the
comics boxing
oh you didn't
I didn't
he fucking
he made
because he's
I don't know
if he is Muslim
or not
but he's
he's called
Mohammed
right
well okay
there's a chance
there's a strong chance
there's a chance
and he was given
a little debrief
before we're done the boxing.
And then he made, like, a Taliban joke about himself.
Okay.
And, like, a bunch of comedians, and the joke wasn't strong enough.
Yeah, yeah.
And it just made me go, oh, you really feel like you need to do that to make us feel included.
Yeah, yeah.
Like, I'm really sorry that you felt that way.
But also, I can't laugh at that because, like, professional at this it's not good like that's the thing when see when see when
somebody's trying to have fucking batter with you and it's shite and i'm like i can't man i'm a pro
i can't laugh at your shit bit because if other people see me laughing at your shit bit
i feel like my stock goes down like i've got such a higher threshold
and then listen to
this podcast
and go no you do not
it'd be like going
to Somalia's house
and finding out
they fucking drink
like you know
not Jacob's Creek
what's the other
shite one
I know exactly
what you're talking
about
come on
they're screaming
it at the podcast
all the women
what is it
it's not Jacob's Creek
it's the other one.
Oh, I need to do a thing as well.
You asked me what programs
would go down Channel 4
and I said Panorama
and it's BBC.
So that would be really cathartic
for a lot of people
that just heard me correct that.
There you go.
Because they would have been there going,
it's fucking,
I was thinking Dispatches, Daniel.
Jacob's Creek.
Echo Falls.
Echo Falls.
There it is.
Aye.
If you went round to a Somalian's house...
Is that the word?
A Somalian?
No, a Somalier.
What's a Somalier?
The wine experts.
Oh, okay.
Well, I mean, you've thrown me off.
Now.
Okay, you go for it.
No, no.
Is it?
I don't know.
I first ever heard of it.
I thought it was in Somalian.
I really think you of all people should know this.
The nice place that your wife makes you take her to.
When we go to Stellenbosch.
Stellen what?
Stellenbosch.
And it's, they've got their own blend of wine called Pinotage.
A wine waiter.
Yes, I am correct.
You are right.
Yeah. Not. Sommelier. Sommelier. So you give it Sommelier, it might go false. called Pinotage a wine waiter yes I am correct you are right yeah not
sommelier
ah sommelier
so you give a sommelier
some echo falls
no no
if you were to have been
at a sommelier's house
and you find out
that's what they
fucking drank
you'd be like
I don't really trust
your opinion on
wine anymore
like you've clearly
just learned what to say
about these bottles
because your personal
choice is
it's like if there was
no but maybe it's like
a cleaner's house is never tidy.
It might be like that.
It might just be like,
they're drinking all this nice wine all day
and they just want something that'll sink for like six quid.
Which is just like you and me coming home from a really good gig
and just fucking sticking on some Peter Kay or something.
So, I mean, it's come full circle.
That's what we're talking about,
laughing at people's jokes.
I don't want funny.
Oh, well, so, yeah.
Treat yourself to some shit, bandit.
that's what I'm talking about laughing at people's jokes
that aren't funny
treat yourself
to some shit
Banner
aye
it's just
you know
you know your problem
with you know
a limp handshake
aye
that's often what it's like
for me
if it's a
and don't get me wrong
I
have definitely
handed people
very
very shite
very floppy
handshakes
of bits
but thankfully
because I'm in the company
of comedians all the time
it gets
it gets
somebody tags it
or takes the piss out of you
for being bad
which you can't do
if a passing stranger
tries to have fun with you
you've just got to
politely laugh
and
what the fuck was that
I found it
very funny
what you were doing
in the
because we turned up
drunk to the
Reykjavik gig
and because I mean we just got loaded to the Reykjavik gig and
because
I mean we just got loaded
on the flight
I remember on the flight
remember that guy
giving up the beans
oh yeah
aye
and he was like
me and you were both talking
but he took it
like upon himself
to like look past me
at you
yeah
and I just kept looking at me
and to the point
where I was like
man if this can't look
to me one more time
I'm going to flip my lid here
because he just
just stayed in and I'm like is he a kind of looks at me one more time I'm going to flip my lid here because he just just stayed in
and I'm like
is he a fan
like what's
I definitely
he definitely wasn't a fan
he was
like he was mean mugging
aye
but he was like
listen how old that dude
maybe he's what
50s
yeah
like 50s
like quite well dressed
and all that right
and he's in business class
and we were chatting
about the wheel of time
because like we'd been
just reading my books
or whatever
and then my food came took my headphones off started chatting and he was telling chatting about the wheel of time. Because we'd been just reading our books or whatever, and then when food came, we took our headphones off,
started chatting, and he was telling us about where he was up to on the book
and trying to recap me on where I'm up to so I can get back into it.
It was just fucking proper wholesome conversation.
It's not like we were rowing about football.
No.
And he just kept looking past me at you.
And I was like, it was catching my eye.
And he was like, if he fucking looks at me one more time.
And then he was just like could you just
be a bit quieter please
and I was like
do you want me headphones
he's like
hey you've not got any headphones
and the fact is
it was like
everybody on the flight
was chatting
it wasn't like
it wasn't like
the fucking lights
were dimmed down
and it was like
three o'clock in the morning
and everyone's trying
to get some sleep
before the land
it was an afternoon flight
it was like a twelve o'clock flight
like between people behind us having a conversation people behind him having a conversation and I'm like and everyone's trying to get some sleep before the land. It was an afternoon flight. It was like a 12 o'clock flight between Reykjavik and Stockholm.
People behind us having a conversation,
people behind him having a conversation.
And I'm like, don't get me wrong,
my voice definitely carries,
but also if it was carrying,
I feel like there'd be other people on the flight,
mainly the people fucking behind us,
like the people that are the closest to us
that are complaining about it.
So we declined his offer to be quiet.
We just said no
he was like
nah I'm alright
I'm good at this volume
this is how I talk
it's like
there's kind of like
a cacophony of noise
from the plane itself
that we're trying to be heard over
within what we're in
and you do have headphones
I can see you've got headphones there
because that offer reminded first
I was like
yeah I have these if you want
and he was like
you've got some
you daft cunt
what are you doing so he was like You've got some You daft cunt What are you doing
So he tried to give it
Do you know what I saw it as
What
Because he wasn't to know
That you're actually
Well to do
You and your trackies
And that
Aye
It was absolute classism
Oh you think
Because the women
Behind us talking
Right
They were equally as loud
Because we could hear them
Aye
And their behind were right But he would have looked at them and go oh they're meant to be in
business i you know they looked they looked at us and went they are imposters and he fucking hated
that we in my trackies were having the same experience as him so we should have battered him
no no that would have proven his point aye aye no it was just
aye we should have
proved his point
we should have
fucking took him
and put him in economy
well also
this is
oh no this is
an important
fucking bit of the story
so we didn't fly
directly to Reykjavik
we flew from
Edinburgh
to Stockholm
right
and we get off
the plane
and we get on a bus
as you do sometimes when you get off the plane, and we get on a bus, as you do,
sometimes when you get off fucking planes,
and they drove us to, like,
this outdoor bit
where we climbed up some stairs
that joins onto the main terminal,
and then we were all just stuck in this corridor
for, like, ten minutes?
There was a Chinese whisper and Swedish of, like,
can somebody come up and open this door?
The door's locked,
and, like, it rumbled past me.
I saw the people at the top of the stairs chatting the door's locked and like it rumbled past me I saw the people
at the top of the stairs
chatting to the people
behind and it just
gets past me
and gets to the guy
who's at the bus
who's dropped off
oh no no
that wasn't even
the original bus
that wasn't the bus
guy that dropped us off
that was a new bus guy
that was the second
bus behind us
yeah yeah
so the second bus
comes along
and this guy's like
how the fuck
there's a queue there
the Chinese whisperer
sorry the Swedish whisperer
has gone back to this point
and they're going
this is like they're going,
this is,
like,
we're all fucking trapped in here.
So after 10 minutes,
this guy comes up,
swipes his card,
types in a couple of buttons,
lets us through into the main terminal building.
In Rikashwa connecting flight.
To Iceland.
We'll talk about Iceland
in a second.
Cut to,
I was flying back
from Sweden yesterday.
So just to paint the picture properly,
we flew to Reykjavik via Stockholm.
Right, we're in Reykjavik,
do a gig,
and then fly back to Stockholm to do a gig.
Into the country from...
From Iceland.
From Iceland.
So it's an internal,
both in the EU.
Yeah.
And then we fly from the UK,
sorry,
from Stockholm to Edinburgh
yesterday
and at customs
like the guy's looking
at her passport
and he's looking at her
for fucking ages
to the point where
it's getting annoying
where it's like
right are you bad at your job
like what's going on
like
and he was like
where's your entry stamp
and we're like
what do you mean
he goes you've got no entry stamp
into the country
and I'm like
well I'm here
so
like hello hi here we are I was like what do you mean he goes you've got no entry stamp into the country and I'm like well I'm here so like
hello
hi
here we are
you know what
I pole vaulted
over the border
yeah I snuck in
oh you got me
I'm a fucking idiot
I just thought
I'd sneak into the country
but I thought
I'd leave officially
on the way out
some
there's been a fuck up
there's no way
it's my fault
there's not a chance
we're showing him
our boarding passes
we're just like
look we flew in these flights he makes a phone call yeah and he starts talking swedish and it
lasts for like it's for a good fucking five minutes and the guy's like okay i'm really sorry
but the flight you came in on were you trapped in a corridor for 10 minutes we were like oh yeah
yeah we were he was like right that guy who let you through no longer works at the airport and will never work at any airport ever again.
It's like it's the biggest crime you can commit.
Because he let a bunch of immigrants
into the country without getting checked.
Yeah, so basically,
I think they must have dropped us off
either not at the correct bit, right?
They clearly thought we were an internal European flight. So they dropped us off either not at the correct bits right they clearly thought we were an internal
european flight so they dropped us off at the bit where they are and you don't need to go past any
border control you know brexit teething problems we'll call it because that would have been the
door to drop off for a couple of months back yeah yeah yeah uh or alternatively like because there
was many like routes maybe we just maybe just we ended up at the wrong fucking door,
and this poor second cunt turns up,
and just sees a room full of people locked in.
Like, I still can't work out exactly whose fault it was.
Whose fault it was.
But it certainly wasn't mine.
Nah, but someone's in deep trouble.
And also, we were told off the guy,
he was like, you might get questioned
every single time you go through immigration
because you've got an exit stamp
without an entry stamp on one of your
visits. And I actually went through all
the stamps in my passport and they do come in
pairs. And you know when you see them like flicking
through the pages. I thought they were just looking for a blank
page to stamp. But they're just checking
that you're all above board. You haven't been fucking
I. Well, so yeah,
we now have to have a folder on our phone.
Aye, with the board and passes on
Yeah so then
Every time this fucking comes up
They have to phone
The Swedish border control
And
There's a file
And then the good thing about it is
When
When he made that phone call
It looked like it was a famous case
Like he looked like
Oh yeah
Like we've all been talking about this
Yeah
You're one of those guys
That was on that flight
Well it should be easier
Because as long as we've got
the board, it's there.
It's the boarding pass number. It's just another
thing to slow it down, especially if we're
connecting. Especially for a fucking jobs
worth. Only jobs worths are going to
catch that. Yeah.
I'm thinking like if you're going to America,
which we are going to be going to America
even for your stag,
that's going to be like in a room trying for your stag Like That's going to be like
In a room
Trying to explain that away
Aye
Well I mean
I don't know
Just go
The file's there
Like it's that flight
I know exactly what the problem is
There
Look it up
Do your job
Yep
So we're flying
We finally get into
Iceland
We had a couple of drinks on the flight
By a couple of minutes
Oh and then also like I didn't want to drink that much on the flight by a couple of oh and then also
like I didn't want
to drink that much
on the flight
but the second
he was like
can you quiet down
I was like
I'm getting drunk now
and also
I'm making a scene
I'll show you
a fucking scene
the flight attendant
was like
he was like
he was trying to make
we try different gins
and he was like
yeah he was like
you've got to try this one
this one changes colour
this is an Icelandic one
That we have
And to be fair
He was chatting with
Fucking everyone
This was a daytime flight
Like everyone on this flight
Was talking
And then he was like
Topping my red wine up
With my meal
Aye
You were telling a story
About me being too drunk
In Iceland at the start
I did something
Oh shit yeah
What was that
So we'll get off the flight
I'm just leaving you in to
Fuck
We need to excavate this.
Oh, no, we don't.
We can pause it and excavate it,
but I'm not putting people through that.
Okay, okay.
So let's just keep going and see if it comes back.
Let's go on through...
Right, so we finally get to Iceland.
We're staying there with our promoter out there.
There's a lovely man called Barang
who's massively into food.
Huge foodie, but like a good foodie
like the way he does it
is
you know
he can take you to
a two Michelin star restaurant
and you'll have like
the best fish
you've ever eaten
in your life
or
if it's one in the morning
you can be like
I'm starving
where's the best kebab
and he's like
okay it's six minutes
this way
like on either end
of the spectrum
he enjoys food
across the board
so he can find you some good street food that doesn't look like a really good kebab that's like a hidden gem and it's six minutes this way. Like, on either end of the spectrum, he enjoys food across the board. So he can find you some good street food
that does a really good kebab
that's like a hidden gem
and it's locally known
but it's not like world-renowned.
Which to me is what a real foodie is,
where there's no snobbery in it.
There's no, like,
you don't look down
at different types of food
because you're like,
oh, that's what the working class eat.
You just go,
man, working class food
is some of the best fucking food.
You've just got to make sure
you find the people
that make it correctly.
Yeah.
And put, like, the right amount of effort into it and not, you know, make it.
And he knows what you will and won't eat.
He knows that I'll eat anything.
And he's just happy to just take the menus off
and order the right amount of food.
He's just like, are you just happy for the way it comes?
And then he'll, like, fucking do all the conversation with the waiter.
So it takes all the decision
fatigue away from you
aye
you just get a belt
a feed
and you end up
trying some weird shit
we had some cow tongue
yeah
which was
it was
that was at a Szechuan place
it was
so that
that was mainly about
the
the tongue numbing
flavour of it
like it actually
like made your tongue
go a bit numb
and then you followed it
with that
can you remember
what it was called
it was like
that kind of
miniature wine glass shot
oh yeah
the fucking weird
I don't know
you could even say
the name of it
in front of me
nah yeah
he said it a couple of times
and I was like
nah I'm going to need
to drill that
to be able to say it
yeah yeah
I'm like I'm not
you know yeah
it's like when you ask
someone for directions
and your brain just goes
no
la la la la la
and you just missed it
you know it's quite funny as well
he says to me
have you had Szechuan peppers before
and I was like
oh we've got like
supermarket Szechuan sauce
in the house
for like
hot sauce
but like
not no
the answer's no
and then I get back home
and I found this
sriracha sauce
you stupid cunt
I just lied to him
did I tell you
so we went to
we went
we went to a
Michelin star restaurant
in Reykjavik
then the next day
in Stockholm
we also went to
another one there
both times
I'm in my trackies
and then for the one yesterday
before we went he was like uh just uh i think it'd be wise if we're jeans to this next place
and i'm like oh god i keep forgetting you take me to nice places and i dress like a wanker
because you know i'm not a mad travel gear yeah i'm in comfies whenever i could be in comfies
and you know what you spent so much time sitting Like, whether that's sitting in the back of the car,
sitting in the aeroplane,
sitting in the restaurant.
Sitting backstage.
You spend so much time sitting
that your belt starts to leave a little imprint
on the overhung part of your belly.
And I'm like, ah, that'll...
It gives you an extra wee belly dimple.
You're like, ow, this one's not natural.
Ow.
I don't want to pierce my own belly button
by the end of the day
so I spend my day
in joggies.
It was in Stockholm
where we
met a taxi driver
who I hope
is dead
right now.
He did the most
unforgivable.
I've never,
and if you've listened
to this podcast for a while,
you know the very strong opinions I have
on taxi etiquette and taxi driver etiquette
and what the relationship is
with the amount of communication
that's allowed to happen
between an employer and an employee.
Before we managed to put any context to it,
we were sat in the back
and all we had just heard
was
mmm
mmm
ahh
oh
and I'm like
mmm
like is
is there something
on this cunt's foot
like is he
is he like
is he watching porn
like down the fucking side
just in the foot well
with his fucking left hand
just like sneaking
because like what's going on there and before we got in the car he was uh he was talking to someone
um uh on the phone and then we got in the car and i said he chatted barang yeah just
but it was all in swedish so like there was no differentiation between him going oh two seconds
mate i'm just uh i've got a fare I'll call you back
in a second
yeah
and then
where are you
going
so you had the
earpiece on
and that was
just his like
uh-huh
okay
yep
yep
yep
yep
but his version
of it was
oh
unforgivable
unforgivable
I tell you
right now
if I for
whatever reason had cheese wire on now if I for whatever reason
had cheese wire on me
if I'd been able to get
my fucking shoelaces
off quick enough
I would have strangled him
and I would have
happily let us both die
you know that bit in
Dark Knight
Dark Knight
where
Harvey Denton
like behind the fucking
oh he's with
whatever the gangster's
name is
in the car
and he flips the coin
and he goes
alright Hedge you get to live but what about your the car and he flips the coin and he goes alright heads
you get to live
but what about your friend here
and then shoots the fucking driver
after putting his own seatbelt on
that's what I wanted to do
with this guy
like let's
I will kill everyone
in this car
as long as
you are
that's unforgivable
me and Barang
are just collateral damage
you had to go
there's no way you wanted
to live with that memory
oh
so
we were even audibly getting annoyed at it.
Yeah.
And then, I mean, we just took our own advice and put our headphones on.
We did.
But it's like, what the fuck was that?
Hi, honey.
So is that you just got...
Is that just somebody getting in your car now?
Mm.
And do you think it's going to be like a long shift for you today?
Well, it's just because I've made some stew, some chicken stew for when you get back.
I know that's your favourite.
Do you want me to save you some?
Yeah, okay.
Do you want some crusty bread with it?
Yeah, yeah, I thought you would.
Okay.
Do you want me to put your daughter on the phone?
Do you want to say hi? Dad, I thought you would. Okay. Do you want me to put your daughter on the phone? Do you want to say hi?
Dad, is that you?
Dad?
I drew you.
It's unforgivable!
You cannot say yes like that!
That's, right, that's, you know what?
That's actually worse than the alternative.
And the alternative is during actual sex to just go, yes.
Yep.
Mm, yeah.
Uh-huh.
Aye.
Oh.
Aye, go on then.
You sure?
Why not?
All right, call me back.
You sure?
Is that you finished, aye?
Oh, yeah oh yeah yeah yeah
me and Al
just a
a quick transaction
phone call
as your sex talk
alright I won't
take a minute here
love
alright no worries
okay
see you next time
yep
love you too
again
you've seen the time
so Yep, love you too. Again, you've seen the time.
So you're now Michelin stars.
Is it the same company that does the tyres for like... Yes.
It is?
Yes.
How are them two worlds?
So originally in America, there was the...
Is it like the Perrier?
Yeah, it's kind of...
Like the other Fosters Comedy Award, like the...
Yes, Perrier started the award for the...
And then it became the award itself.
The Coca-Cola Cup.
Aye, and it went on.
I'm pretty sure Michelin used to have a roadmap
that they would give out, like at any other stores of America,
and there would be their starred restaurants on the road and they would obviously be popular ones so they'd use it like
the travel link yeah you can be a food tourist and drive and we'll get you there with these
wheels 80 certain that that's how it sort of started and then there was like companies that
were oh because then it was about okay i want i want to be on the next map because obviously
there's a roadmap that everyone used because this is before sat Okay I want to be on the next map Because obviously there's a road map that everyone uses
Because this is before Sat Nav
So you'd talk to the Michelin people
And be like oh can you make sure that we're one of the stars
On the map and then that's when the sort of
Prestige came
They'd start getting really full of us
Well if we can come and you can give us a nice meal
And we'll judge you
Aye
I'm fairly confident
in that story
because I don't know
why else it would be
in my head
I feel like I've watched
a documentary
stoned on it
and that's why
like whether it was
fucking Anthony Bourdain
or one of the
chef's table ones
I feel like that's
I reckon like
Dunlop should do it
for like
more affordable ones
aye
Dunlop
this is a Dunlop
star restaurant oh okay it's like more affordable ones i just don't know this is a dunlop star restaurant
it's like the bellator like some michelin star chefs drop down there and just stop giving a
shit like they used to work in really fine dine places in paris and they're like and now i do
fried chicken and jambalaya he's like okay i hope it's good. It bags a bunch. Two Dunlop triangles.
Can't use the stars, we've got to sue.
So I think it's like, so yeah,
but you can be a Michelin-starred chef
and what that means is like you've caused a restaurant
to get a star, but this restaurant will never lose that star,
even if you're the chef, fuck off.
Because I've been in ones where it's been, like,
Michelin star 2019 or whatever.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That means it got its rate in that year.
Yeah, yeah.
But, like, do you have to maintain it?
Like, can you have, like...
We don't know the answers to this, do we?
No, no, no.
No, because, again, the only time...
Please do not...
Please understand, the only time we're ever eating
at Michelin star restaurants
is when somebody drags us there in our trackies.
I've never booked one.
We're just very, very lucky and we clearly don't know how to do it.
I find it so funny when I'm there.
We've just done food tourism,
essentially what we've done with a couple of gigs in the mix, right?
And we went to three either Michelin stars
or previously given Michelin stars restaurants in a row.
And I still remember quite vividly days when I had to go into the bank and ask for me £7 because you can't get that amount out at the cash point.
You know, I remember like most months, right?
Most months before the end of the month, before pay before pda i just pretend i was on a health
kit and cycle to work because i had the petrol and i was waiting on pda and like i remember them
days even though i quite a while ago i knew i remember them and every time i'm just there like
dude mind if i do michelin star restaurant i'll give him the fucking posh cuts the stink eye in
business and just say i that wasn't that far away of that
I've got like
I've got some really good
perspective
for enjoying them moments
well it's what
it's what makes me
try food
that I've never tried before
because when
when we're in those restaurants
I'm like
I have to try this
just because
everyone else is right
and I don't belong here
like if I don't eat
every fucking weird thing
in front of me
because like I'm like
I don't like lettuce like oh yuck that's a bit of the animal i just feel like i've got to
eat it otherwise they're gonna drag me out with my fucking waistband are these towel issues no
do you ever get um do you ever suffer from imposter syndrome at any point in your life
do you do you think do you let it sink in though no no i
i know whenever it whenever it pops up i go that's uh you know that we talked about last episode like
that's an intrusive thought where i'm like there's no ground for that to be true you know i am i think
the best the best way to deal with imposter syndrome is that there's a there's a line in an
eminem track from the kamikaze album and it's Fall when he was like
he's like come in
and thrust my pelvic bone
use your telephone put my feet up
tell it to pass the remote control I belong
here and it's just like the whole
picture that he paints and I got the lyrics
fucked up but the whole picture
that he paints is I've come into your house
I'm putting my feet up past the remote
like this is my house now.
Aye.
And I just fucking love
that attitude
because you're like,
if you feel like you've got to,
if you feel like you're an imposter,
you know how you should feel bad?
The person whose nest you're in,
not you.
Aye, aye.
They'll let you stay.
I just can't, right?
If I'm an imposter,
it's not on me.
I'm not the one
that's being imposed upon.
If I was,
I'd deal with that. No, I feel an imposter, it's not on me. I'm not the one that's being imposed upon. If I was, I'd deal with that.
No, I feel like imposter syndrome is more the fact
that you're like, okay, I'm part of this group
where everyone else is very good at this thing.
And for some reason, I've snuck into the ranks of it.
And don't get me wrong, it's a horrible thing.
I've got friends that suffer from it
who do not deserve it at all.
I occasionally get it
and I'll get it out of my head
as quickly as possible
but
you do see people
and they're like
I've got imposter syndrome
and you go
oh good
okay
right
okay
so you have imposter syndrome
or are you self aware
and that
will make people
with imposter syndrome
feel way worse
because they go
oh maybe I don't have
imposter syndrome no because they're like oh god maybe I do Because they go, oh, maybe I don't have imposter syndrome.
No, because they'll be like,
oh God, maybe I do.
They're just, you know,
maybe I'm not part of the first example.
Maybe I am just the second example.
And you'll never know.
The only thing to do is fucking bluff your way through it.
Just meet it with arrogance.
Yeah.
I belong here.
I mean, that is literally how I dealt with imposter syndrome
for the first five years of my career was,
you know,
this is what Conor McGregor did,
just shout louder than everyone else
and tell you below.
Aye,
and it's one of them things
where like,
what advice would you give somebody else?
Just give that to yourself.
The advice you'd have,
say,
if fucking,
if Mark Nelson started saying,
he'd be like,
what?
You're one of the fucking best in the business?
You're fucking amazing at this?
Why would you?
They should have imposter syndrome
for being in your company
and you'd give your friend that advice.
Aye.
Give that to yourself,
be your own mate. Well, see see my therapist is occasionally probably that where
she'll go you know if you ever find yourself talking to yourself in certain ways would you
let your friends would you let your friends talk about themselves that way or would you let your
friends talk about your other friends that way and obviously no so you stop that and i'm like well
that's a really good example except would i let my friends talk
about themselves that way probably not would i let my friends talk about my other friends that way
if i'm joining in on the bullying yes absolutely yeah can i talk to them like that
every single time and i think that's what happens in my brain is occasionally when i'm being mean
to myself the other part of my brain goes this this is class, get him. The thing I had as well,
you know if you do something stupid
and you're just like,
I'm sure I've spoken about it before,
and you're like,
oh, why have I done that?
Like, what a dick, why have I done that?
I over-exaggerate that
until it becomes a joke,
where you're like,
I'll be trying to get ice cubes out
and I'll fucking spaff it
and it'll go on the floor, right?
And I'll just go like,
why am I like this? Oh, you're such an asshole guy like it's mine's is mine's is genuine man when i lose i've
we spoke with this last podcast but when i lose something within five feet of myself nothing
makes me hate myself more in this world worse than biting my cheeks no way but just but just
like turn it into turn the feeling
you have towards yourself
into like
into just a
hyperbole joke
and it totally
it totally diffuses
the whole thing
in your own thoughts
to just be like
oh
why am I like this
I'm always doing this
as bad as myself
fuck
I like to
well we do that occasionally
Me and Colin do that
Whenever we're
Playing FIFA together
And one of us misses a shot
Before the other person
Can be like
You're a fucking idiot
For missing that
You just pretend to
You know
Hit yourself and stuff
Hi
Hi
I'm sorry
I just want to be someone else
What is Kai the science guy?
Yeah Let's do a little jingle for us.
It's a section.
We've wrote a couple of things
that we might need to bring up on the thing,
and I just wrote Kai the Science Guy.
Aye, and your dad's FP page.
Right.
So I went to...
Right, let's do your dad's Facebook page.
It's not about your dad it's about
can you remember when before we even started doing dad jokes on the podcast we started texting each
other about like like like i'll hold your dad's hand when i take him to school yeah stuff like
that right let's just say basic really like one line ones and we've done them back and forth
and i screen capped a bunch of them and i'd open a facebook page called your dad yeah right and
like i just dropped them
in like since then there's been fucking one million and one like your dad's liability type pages
that have happened so it's pointless going back to it because like we'd look like the fucking
anyway so i just i just let the page die right but loads of people keep tagging it in the
commemorations loads of people
are just like
I'm so sorry
to hear the sad news
I've known
at your dad
I used to work with him
and they
they're like
the hyperlink
just the page
where maybe
you've screencapped
your messages
from 2016
and I don't know
if it's just people
that follow it
when they start
typing your dad it like just prompts them and suggests them to tag it because they've wrote it
every week i'm tagged in obituaries
oh boy so that's that's happened for years and i've never brought it up and i was just saying
i can't believe i've never i've never even told anyone about it it's just been a part of my like weekly life I'm just now I'm just always just like oh well
I hope they're okay RIP I guess RIP them and RIP my mentions am I right
thanks for promoting my page yeah just go underneath hi sorry for your loss but thank you so much for your custom hi
um
kind of science guy
um
it's a
I've been reading
new science
scientist magazine
oh I
I occasionally
go through faces
every three years
where I'm like
I'm smart enough for this
and then after two issues
I'm like
I'm not
well what it was
is when I'm walking Peggy
there's this point in the woods
where there's like
this kind of
tree's been chopped down but they've turned the stump into like a seat.
And I just like to have a sit there and let Peggy just run around
and play with the leaves and just do her own thing.
And I can just read a little bit of me on my phone.
And instead of like texting, I just decided I'd read a couple of articles
from New Scientist magazine.
And then I was like, oh, we could have a section on the podcast
that's like, you could do like a little jingle,
like it's kind of science kind, put it on a button, and I'll section on the podcast that's like, you could do a little jingle like, it's Kai, the science guy, and put it on a button,
and I'll tell you what I've learned.
Right.
So do a little jingle.
No.
You've just done it.
And that could be it from now on.
The saddest thing, you can sing in your own theme tune every week.
It's Kai, Kai, the science guy.
There's two blobs
floating around
under the crust of the earth
the size of a continent
each
one's under the
Pacific Ocean
and one is under
Africa
and
they're a different
consistency to the rest
of the mantle
and
they're trying to figure out
what it is
you obviously can't do
and have a look
with a scuba diver
can you?
The molten lava.
Just a fucking swan dive doing a volcano and going,
oh, no, it's just... That's why we need superheroes.
It's plastic.
All the plastic's gathering.
There's just lots of big farts.
There's two big farts, just big air pockets.
It's actually helium.
That's how the Earth floats.
Did you ever wonder that?
You stupid idiots.
Now in sync?
Yeah, obviously we fall through space. You'd have to have cuts it's helium that's what means we float in space
jesus christ new scientist learn the old science you fucking thick twats absolutely fucking hell
so uh they're trying to they're trying to figure out like it's hard it's hard at all
resound the one underneath the pacific there's really big blind spots in the earth uh underneath
the oceans these are date from the land,
it turns out.
But they've covered that,
like, the way,
like, nickel,
the majority of the Earth's mantle
is nickel.
And that's flown kind of around
these massive continents
of mass
that they believe to be maybe iron.
But they've just melted
at different temperatures,
so they stay separate like
a lava lamp.
The theory is,
the working theory that they're going with,
is when the moon was created, it was
hit by a Mars-sized asteroid
that they've named Theia,
and it ended up splitting
off, and obviously a massive cataclysm
created the moon,
which is just a bit of debris from Theia that floats around her.
And they reckon two clumps of that are just stuck under the Earth's crust
and they've just melted.
Just big bits of metal.
Big bits of metal and rock just fucking melted together,
just floating around at a different consistency.
Does that mean we're going to get like iron volcanoes
because that would be a
imagine that Pompeii
like if the iron comes out
if iron comes out of a fucking
pardon the pun pretty metal way to die
right it's like a fucking iron
or steel
steel is a
compound mixture yeah a mixture yeah or steel on a weight wouldn't be steel steel's a a compound
a mixture
yeah a mixture
yeah yeah yeah
the less
let's go for the less
scientific term
I think it's a
now there's a difference
between a compound
and a mixture
you put salt and water
that's a mixture
aye
but no but
it's a mixture
it's an alloy
it's a mixture
between two compounds
I think I'm pretty sure
that's an alloy
isn't that what
steel's an alloy
that's what we're looking for
aye
the science guy
so not a compound
and not a mixture at all
so
what I thought we'd do
is a section
to keep me reading
the new scientists
is come in
every time
have a section
Kai the science guy
where I tell you
something dead interesting
that you can make
little riffs off
like oh it's helium
oh okay
and then at the end you can get basic science wrong
and then we can question the factual accuracy
of the entire previous segment.
Aye, that is exactly the point.
That is what this is.
Gotcha.
What if it's the earth's an egg
and they've only spotted them now
because like
the foetus is getting bigger
and we're having twins
well I mean that's
and the earth's been impregnated
but with what
the meteor that killed the dinosaurs
yeah but what's that foetus of
a baby planet
a moon
it is the moon
come back full circle
often well i mean what what what would knowing what it is do it can we utilize the information
or is it one of those things where science is like we learned this thing and you're like what
does that mean they're like we don't know and you're like all right thanks how much you know
i had not to be that guy that's like,
how much did that cost?
But you couldn't have done, you know.
Do we need to know that?
It's like pointless technology is like, this is,
it's such a great technology.
But in the 30 years that it's been around,
there's been no solid use for it.
But you know, like T-shirts that like,
if you put your hand on it and then take your hand
away it's changed colour from purple to green
because of the heat
and you're like oh great so now people
have got sweat patches, class
normally it was just
light grey shirts that did it but I'm
so glad it can now happen in maroon
and beige
and like they'll put it on cars
and it'll just look stupid
and
like you just think
right
we've just created
a belt of technology
but why did we do it
why is it not important
we did it okay
would you not remember
all those fucking videos
that were on YouTube
ages ago
of the super
like the
the spray that they would do
which make any surface
super hydrophobic
right
so hydrophobic
the water
is like literally drops goes off none of it
sticks to it like it's just it's just and they'll put it on the perfect example they'll put it on
like a the wing mirror of a car something that regularly gets wet that you don't want to get
wet because you need to see in it and they did those videos went viral 10 years ago and there's
still fucking rain on my wing mirror so does that stuff not work as good as before?
Are people just like,
who gives a shit?
Like, why is it not being utilised?
The technology's not ready.
I mean, it looked ready in the YouTube video.
Yeah.
And also, put that on umbrellas.
Put that on babies.
Put them on their tongues.
They'll never drown.
Not be able to drink again, though.
That idea
Fucked it
The only flaw
Only flaw on that plot
That's the only one
Do you know what I heard
From Neil deGrasse Tyson
When I was chatting with him in the pub
Oh yeah
Odd way to pitch that already
My friend Neil deGrasse Tyson
Was saying to me
You heard him on a podcast
I assume
Yes
Saying that if you shrunk the earth
Down to the size of a snooker ball
Everyone would die
Everyone would be tiny
Everyone else would be way smaller or the same size
And we'd stand on the earth and we'd all be dead
It would be smoother than a snooker ball
Aye
Which is
But how?
This is not
Like surely if...
It's getting battered by rocks and shit like that over the years, right?
That makes it a bit clumpy, right?
Yeah.
But it's more like...
But if you shrunk it right down,
then, like, massive grand canyons
and fucking the deepest part of the ocean,
they're all so insignificant at that size.
That's super smooth.
Does that not mean, like like there has to be some
kind of friction involved to polish it to to sand it to make it such a perfect circle does it not
have to have some kind of like how's it how's it getting like no it's no no no the whole point of
friction in space no no the whole point of the analogy is that we think these mountains are
fucking massive.
But in comparative thickness to the earth, it's fuck all. It's literally nothing.
It's so nothing that if we were that size, it would feel smooth. That's what that means.
But how did it get that smooth?
It's not that smooth.
Nobody knows, though, because size is so comparative.
because size is so comparative.
So if a giant swimming through the space,
this was like, ooh, like a little golf ball.
And then they're like, oh my God, this is so smooth.
How did it get like that?
There's no friction in space.
And like giant space aliens,
like got everywhere else screaming in terror, right?
The atmosphere is fucked.
Like burning up.
Like as soon as it's, let's say tentacles,
came through the atmosphere,
it's a disaster for us.
But for it, it's like,
how is it so fucking smooth?
It's like, I'm taking that hope and putting it in the top pocket
and then swim back off through space.
And again, I kind of believe there's no friction in space
to make that smooth.
So, like, that means I'm not going anywhere
when I'm swimming here. Because if's no friction in space to make that smooth. So that means I'm not going anywhere when I'm swimming here.
Because if there was friction in space,
I'd be able to swim through space.
Right.
Right, kind of science guy's a really bad idea.
It's wonderful.
We're keeping it.
I'm a bad ideas guy.
Do you know the first time they went up into space,
they didn't realise, none of the scientists worked out,
that because there's no oxygen there, right?
You know when you weld things together,
what you're doing is you're putting so much oxygen,
you're making it super hot that you're basically ionising it,
and that's what joins the metal together, right?
That already naturally happens in space because there's no oxygen.
So in space, you can just go up with two metals, cold,
that are the same metal of each other
and stick them together
and they'll automatically be welded together.
Oh, sweet.
Right.
And they had no idea
until they were up in space for the first time
and then the poor guy opened the fucking door,
went outside, shut it behind them
and then they're like,
okay, open it back up.
And they're like...
It's a welded shirt
we're trying to
oh my god
so this is great news
because if either of us
have any welding to do
what we'll do right
we'll go into a room
say like this one
get Ryan Cullen to come in
tell one of his jokes
suck all of the atmosphere
out of the room
and then do the welding
yeah
dead easy
right
yeah yeah
Kai the science guy
he thinks he saved it
he thinks he saved it He thinks he saved it
That's the jingle
Someone put a beat to that bit
Do you have anything else to add?
No
No I was going to say
We should have done your dad jokes
But we've not
I mean we could pause it
And then write some dad jokes
And then
Oh no my phone's in the house
No we can't
I guess I could just write them down
Should we just riff some
no let's pause it
for three minutes
and then
and then do some dad jokes
your dad jokes
it's the your dad jokes section
your dad your dad
jingles
we're not getting jingles
somebody out there
has got to be good
at making jingles
yeah someone from the radios
in the 60s
aye and then you press the button, it'll be like,
Dad jokes, Dad jokes, here's your Dad jokes.
Why would... They're not...
We can just go into them.
People understand the format of the show.
Fine, fine, fine.
If you want the production value, it'll be crud.
I've never said crud before.
I hate it.
I hate it.
I hate it.
Take back everything.
Your dad's a tribute act
for Fred Durst
called Soggy Biscuit.
I give your dad a balloon
for his birthday
and he just floated off.
I haven't seen him since.
He's assumed dead.
Your dad saw a shooting star
and wished his luck would change
but it turns out
it was a crashing plane
and it hit his favourite chip shop.
Your dad got put on detention
for giving one of the dinner ladies a hickey.
Your dad's farts give him PTSD from your mum's cooking.
He's just like,
Oh, me love!
Your dad plays the recorder
In a death metal band
Your dad's banned
From the golf course
Because he turned up in Heelys
Your dad puts his car keys
On the radiator
So that when we're at
Swingers parties
I know to pull the warm ones
Out of the fruit bowl
Your dad cried
when he held you
for the first time
because he's
terrified of
babies
your dad's
going to be
crying on
Arsenal TV
tonight after
the Newcastle
match
the end
the end

We're also in Prague and Zurich and Vienna,
extra show Vienna.
So get that in your head,
get those tickets bought,
and we'll see you there.
All right.
Bye.
