Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:23 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
Starting point is 00:00:36 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
Starting point is 00:00:45 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
Starting point is 00:01:01 our Patreon subscribers, thank you very much for the money that you constantly give us. We do appreciate it. We appreciate you the most.

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.
Starting point is 00:01:49 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?
Starting point is 00:01:58 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.
Starting point is 00:02:15 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.
Starting point is 00:02:30 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.
Starting point is 00:02:41 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.
Starting point is 00:02:50 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.
Starting point is 00:02:58 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
Starting point is 00:03:05 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.
Starting point is 00:03:18 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.
Starting point is 00:03:38 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
Starting point is 00:03:48 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
Starting point is 00:03:56 Yeah Thank you I feel seen So anyway On the drunk podcast You brought up No no We were talking about
Starting point is 00:04:05 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
Starting point is 00:04:14 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
Starting point is 00:04:22 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
Starting point is 00:04:33 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
Starting point is 00:04:40 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
Starting point is 00:04:59 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.
Starting point is 00:05:21 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
Starting point is 00:05:32 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
Starting point is 00:05:37 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
Starting point is 00:05:44 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.
Starting point is 00:05:57 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.
Starting point is 00:06:14 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,
Starting point is 00:06:27 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.
Starting point is 00:06:36 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,
Starting point is 00:06:43 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
Starting point is 00:06:53 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
Starting point is 00:07:06 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
Starting point is 00:07:14 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
Starting point is 00:07:23 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,
Starting point is 00:07:31 did you think everyone was going to have the same thought process where they were like, right, switcheroo. Well, I guess I just forgot
Starting point is 00:07:36 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,
Starting point is 00:07:42 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
Starting point is 00:07:54 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
Starting point is 00:08:08 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
Starting point is 00:08:32 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?
Starting point is 00:09:04 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.
Starting point is 00:09:21 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
Starting point is 00:09:30 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.
Starting point is 00:09:44 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.
Starting point is 00:09:58 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
Starting point is 00:10:14 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
Starting point is 00:10:27 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
Starting point is 00:10:33 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
Starting point is 00:10:40 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
Starting point is 00:10:47 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.
Starting point is 00:10:58 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
Starting point is 00:11:09 Geordie school. Is ginger like the worst thing you could be? Just guess and see. Fat ginger. Okay. Right. Okay.
Starting point is 00:11:17 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.
Starting point is 00:11:24 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
Starting point is 00:12:08 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
Starting point is 00:12:26 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
Starting point is 00:12:42 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
Starting point is 00:13:08 on the course and the guy has to keep checking himself on that he's like alright gentlemen and lady you're like
Starting point is 00:13:14 I know you've recovered it because you said gentlemen first yeah but it's just just go guys guys
Starting point is 00:13:23 blokes I use guys lads is gender neutral as far as I'm concerned. Aye. I definitely use guys as gender neutral. Aye.
Starting point is 00:13:31 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
Starting point is 00:13:36 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,
Starting point is 00:13:43 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
Starting point is 00:13:52 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
Starting point is 00:14:00 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
Starting point is 00:14:25 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
Starting point is 00:14:34 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
Starting point is 00:14:41 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
Starting point is 00:14:54 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
Starting point is 00:15:04 all just looked at each other like oh like the referee from the comics boxing oh you didn't I didn't he fucking
Starting point is 00:15:11 he made because he's I don't know if he is Muslim or not but he's he's called Mohammed
Starting point is 00:15:18 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.
Starting point is 00:15:27 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
Starting point is 00:15:49 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
Starting point is 00:16:08 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
Starting point is 00:16:16 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.
Starting point is 00:16:25 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.
Starting point is 00:16:35 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.
Starting point is 00:16:45 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.
Starting point is 00:16:56 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.
Starting point is 00:17:04 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.
Starting point is 00:17:24 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
Starting point is 00:17:30 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
Starting point is 00:17:37 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.
Starting point is 00:17:48 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,
Starting point is 00:18:00 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
Starting point is 00:18:04 Banner aye it's just you know you know your problem with you know a limp handshake aye
Starting point is 00:18:11 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
Starting point is 00:18:20 very shite very floppy handshakes of bits but thankfully because I'm in the company of comedians all the time it gets
Starting point is 00:18:26 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
Starting point is 00:18:34 politely laugh and what the fuck was that I found it very funny what you were doing in the because we turned up
Starting point is 00:18:42 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
Starting point is 00:18:50 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
Starting point is 00:18:57 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
Starting point is 00:19:03 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
Starting point is 00:19:10 like he was mean mugging aye but he was like listen how old that dude maybe he's what 50s yeah like 50s
Starting point is 00:19:18 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
Starting point is 00:19:24 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.
Starting point is 00:19:41 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
Starting point is 00:19:52 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
Starting point is 00:19:58 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,
Starting point is 00:20:07 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.
Starting point is 00:20:22 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
Starting point is 00:20:31 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
Starting point is 00:20:41 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
Starting point is 00:20:50 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
Starting point is 00:20:59 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
Starting point is 00:21:15 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
Starting point is 00:21:33 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
Starting point is 00:21:39 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,
Starting point is 00:21:49 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,
Starting point is 00:22:03 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
Starting point is 00:22:10 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
Starting point is 00:22:16 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
Starting point is 00:22:21 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,
Starting point is 00:22:30 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.
Starting point is 00:22:41 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.
Starting point is 00:22:54 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,
Starting point is 00:23:03 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
Starting point is 00:23:11 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
Starting point is 00:23:19 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
Starting point is 00:23:27 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
Starting point is 00:23:33 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
Starting point is 00:23:40 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
Starting point is 00:23:58 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
Starting point is 00:24:26 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.
Starting point is 00:24:54 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
Starting point is 00:25:09 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
Starting point is 00:25:26 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
Starting point is 00:25:34 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
Starting point is 00:25:43 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.
Starting point is 00:25:57 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
Starting point is 00:26:09 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
Starting point is 00:26:17 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
Starting point is 00:26:26 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
Starting point is 00:26:32 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
Starting point is 00:26:41 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
Starting point is 00:26:46 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
Starting point is 00:26:54 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
Starting point is 00:27:04 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...
Starting point is 00:27:15 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
Starting point is 00:27:29 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
Starting point is 00:27:36 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
Starting point is 00:27:43 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,
Starting point is 00:27:53 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
Starting point is 00:28:02 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.
Starting point is 00:28:14 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
Starting point is 00:28:28 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
Starting point is 00:28:37 it was so that that was mainly about the the tongue numbing flavour of it like it actually like made your tongue
Starting point is 00:28:43 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
Starting point is 00:28:50 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
Starting point is 00:28:58 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
Starting point is 00:29:03 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
Starting point is 00:29:10 and I was like oh we've got like supermarket Szechuan sauce in the house for like hot sauce but like not no
Starting point is 00:29:19 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
Starting point is 00:29:32 we went we went to a Michelin star restaurant in Reykjavik then the next day in Stockholm we also went to another one there
Starting point is 00:29:41 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,
Starting point is 00:30:08 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.
Starting point is 00:30:22 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
Starting point is 00:30:34 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,
Starting point is 00:30:46 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
Starting point is 00:31:04 and all we had just heard was mmm mmm ahh oh and I'm like mmm
Starting point is 00:31:15 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
Starting point is 00:31:22 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
Starting point is 00:31:45 and then where are you going so you had the earpiece on and that was just his like uh-huh
Starting point is 00:31:51 okay yep yep yep yep but his version of it was oh
Starting point is 00:31:57 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
Starting point is 00:32:07 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
Starting point is 00:32:16 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
Starting point is 00:32:23 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
Starting point is 00:32:31 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
Starting point is 00:32:39 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.
Starting point is 00:32:50 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.
Starting point is 00:33:11 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?
Starting point is 00:33:28 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.
Starting point is 00:33:51 Yep. Mm, yeah. Uh-huh. Aye. Oh. Aye, go on then. You sure? Why not?
Starting point is 00:34:00 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
Starting point is 00:34:13 as your sex talk alright I won't take a minute here love alright no worries okay see you next time yep
Starting point is 00:34:20 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.
Starting point is 00:34:36 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.
Starting point is 00:34:56 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
Starting point is 00:35:26 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
Starting point is 00:35:40 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
Starting point is 00:35:50 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
Starting point is 00:35:59 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
Starting point is 00:36:13 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.
Starting point is 00:36:46 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?
Starting point is 00:36:57 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.
Starting point is 00:37:11 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
Starting point is 00:37:46 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
Starting point is 00:38:09 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
Starting point is 00:38:16 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
Starting point is 00:38:30 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
Starting point is 00:39:08 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
Starting point is 00:39:23 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?
Starting point is 00:39:34 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
Starting point is 00:39:42 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.
Starting point is 00:40:01 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
Starting point is 00:40:11 I've got imposter syndrome and you go oh good okay right okay so you have imposter syndrome or are you self aware
Starting point is 00:40:18 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,
Starting point is 00:40:26 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.
Starting point is 00:40:37 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,
Starting point is 00:40:47 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,
Starting point is 00:40:55 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.
Starting point is 00:41:03 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
Starting point is 00:41:30 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?
Starting point is 00:41:53 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,
Starting point is 00:42:03 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
Starting point is 00:42:29 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
Starting point is 00:42:39 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
Starting point is 00:42:49 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
Starting point is 00:42:56 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,
Starting point is 00:43:15 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
Starting point is 00:43:35 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
Starting point is 00:44:07 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
Starting point is 00:44:17 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
Starting point is 00:44:24 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
Starting point is 00:45:06 kind of science guy um it's a I've been reading new science scientist magazine oh I I occasionally
Starting point is 00:45:15 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
Starting point is 00:45:21 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.
Starting point is 00:45:35 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.
Starting point is 00:45:50 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
Starting point is 00:46:07 the size of a continent each one's under the Pacific Ocean and one is under Africa and they're a different
Starting point is 00:46:17 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
Starting point is 00:46:24 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.
Starting point is 00:46:39 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
Starting point is 00:46:59 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.
Starting point is 00:47:14 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.
Starting point is 00:47:27 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,
Starting point is 00:47:43 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
Starting point is 00:48:07 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
Starting point is 00:48:25 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
Starting point is 00:48:32 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
Starting point is 00:48:38 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
Starting point is 00:48:44 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
Starting point is 00:48:56 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
Starting point is 00:49:02 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.
Starting point is 00:49:22 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
Starting point is 00:49:35 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
Starting point is 00:49:59 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,
Starting point is 00:50:20 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
Starting point is 00:50:36 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
Starting point is 00:50:47 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
Starting point is 00:50:55 ages ago of the super like the the spray that they would do which make any surface super hydrophobic right so hydrophobic
Starting point is 00:51:03 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?
Starting point is 00:51:29 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.
Starting point is 00:51:43 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
Starting point is 00:51:51 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
Starting point is 00:51:59 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
Starting point is 00:52:16 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...
Starting point is 00:52:32 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
Starting point is 00:52:59 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.
Starting point is 00:53:26 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.
Starting point is 00:53:43 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.
Starting point is 00:53:59 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.
Starting point is 00:54:13 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,
Starting point is 00:54:35 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.
Starting point is 00:54:53 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...
Starting point is 00:55:04 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
Starting point is 00:55:11 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
Starting point is 00:55:19 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?
Starting point is 00:55:35 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
Starting point is 00:55:42 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
Starting point is 00:55:53 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
Starting point is 00:56:03 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.
Starting point is 00:56:19 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.
Starting point is 00:56:34 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
Starting point is 00:56:43 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
Starting point is 00:57:07 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
Starting point is 00:57:20 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
Starting point is 00:57:29 your dad's going to be crying on Arsenal TV tonight after the Newcastle match the end
Starting point is 00:57:41 the end of the dad jokes dad dad dad jokes daddy dad dad dad dad dad daddy, dad, dad, dad jokes. Daddy, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad You go to the website and you work out for yourself. We're also in Prague and Zurich and Vienna, extra show Vienna. So get that in your head,
Starting point is 00:58:14 get those tickets bought, and we'll see you there. All right. Bye.
