I think it's a Scottish clan yeah
I don't know if I've got a tartan
I'm not
not about wearing skirts and that
nah
erm
you've already
like you've already
proved how straight
you are by eating
that hot wing
yeah
so you're not
going to undo
all your hard work
yeah
class called
Edinburgh this week
absolutely
class
yeah
unreal mate
absolute people
there's such a
fucking huge gulf
of difference
between the two
cities as well
oh it's insane
you know
in one day right because I lived too here in edinburgh when i lived with
sloss right um i had a gig in glasgow and i went and this this happened all within the space of
two hours i went to the train station here market and walked past a young lad getting a violin
lesson in his garden with his shorts on shorts and shirt in the garden nine
years old and he was getting his violin lesson in the garden and uh i get on the train to glasgow
had a bit of time to kill before my gig went into the pub the pub on queen street that was there
and watched an old lady with like false teeth old pension old, hasn't worked in years old, like hundreds of great-grandchildren,
ordered a haggis bomb,
and I had a lighter at the bar
to find out what was going to be made,
because I didn't know what a haggis bomb was.
No, I don't know what a haggis bomb is.
They dropped a shot of whiskey
into an iron brew.
Oh, that's class.
And it all happened within the same two hours.
I just saw like a fucking slice of the pie
of Edinburgh in Glasgow.
That is so good.
Fucking love it up here.
Yeah.
I do like it.
I do like both cities, actually.
There's a word for people who get assimilated into Scottish culture as well,
where the Scottish accept you when you're not from round here.
What's that?
Refugee.
Refugee.
Oh, I like that.
It's nice, isn't it?
I've sort of been accepted Liverpool.
So obviously Liverpool-Manchester is a massive rivalry. That's quite a big, yeah, link to make that. Yeah, I've sort of been accepted Liverpool so obviously Liverpool Manchester is a massive rivalry
that's
that's quite a big
yeah
I've sort of been accepted
yeah
that's
that's a
proper hands across the water
yeah
it's
it's
listen
if I can do it
you know
Israel Palestine
I think I can
go over there
and do a bit of
do a gig
yeah
you could do a gig
to both bring them together do a gig to both,
bring them together.
Yeah, yeah.
Do the guys a pod.
Uh-huh.
Unite them together.
Yeah.
Through me.
I think I,
I generally think we'll look back when I'm dead
and hopefully you're not liable in me
as I was one of the most important things in the world.
Ah, yeah, you cultural figure.
Because everyone just thinks,
thank God I'm not him, let's get on.
I think that's how they think.
It could be worse.
Do you think people who are going through the atrocities
that are happening in the Middle East right now
could look at you and go, oh.
Well, at least his granddad didn't used to drown him.
Did your granddad used to drown you?
Well, he's dead dead so I can't
libel him
but
he
used to
because I
never liked
baths
do you know
what I mean
you did tell me
earlier that you're
scared of a lot
of things
yeah I didn't
like baths
I just had an
irrational fear
I'm going to go
down the plug hole
do you know
what I mean
is that why you put on a bit of timber?
Yeah.
Just plug hole proof yourself.
Who baths with a plug out?
No, but when you take it out.
You're wasting a lot of water there.
No, but when you take it out at the end and it goes.
You've got to do that.
You've got to take the thing out and just let all your scum settle on you.
In layers like sedimentary rock. i don't know because and then to get me in the bath my granddad would go
right come on we'll play world records because i used to love guinness world records and he went
right no he just loved guinness yeah he went go under the water i'll time how long you can stay underwater for so i just till till i was drowning
i think i did 28 seconds and we had a book and a notebook of all my times so i'd go oh 42 seconds
new pb so i just had notebooks filled with times and if the police ever come around and go what's
this oh it's gonna put my grandson underwater.
So most kids have like a little notch on the wall in the height.
You've got how long you can fucking flap your gills.
Yeah, I had time underwater and stuff.
I think that's nice.
That's bonding that.
You know what that is?
That's your grandad being sick of your shit.
Yeah, yeah.
That's like your grandad's got to bath you.
He's been putting Georgia Baffney for whatever
sin he committed
right
and you're just
fucking yammering
away
of how you can
create peace
in the middle east
or whatever
the fuck you're
tired of
as a 13 year old
I'm making you
13 first
by the way
you're 13 years
old for this
you've got
pubes
you've got
your first few
pubes coming
through
and your grandad's like Jamie man few pubes coming through do you know
and you're crying
and it's like
Jamie man
fuck
I'll tell you
do you know
that's a funny thing
you mentioned pubes in the bath
so
when I
when I was 13
I turned down a blowjob
of a 16 year old girl
because I didn't have pubes
because you didn't have pubes
and I thought pubes are like
essential
and you'd be like
you'd be deflecting as well
going fuck off you slut
no I was like like totally degraded here here like are you fucking mad I'll get a
pleasure hot last ever blowjob a fee deflecting because you haven't got pubes
no I was like I'm alright you know now I'm sound I thought pubes played in
technical part of it I was like fuck it I need pubes man so I thought pubes were an integral part of it. I was like, fuck it, I need pubes, man.
So I thought, here's what my theory was.
I don't know where I've got this science from.
But I believe it, I'm buying it.
So any kids watching who are pre-pubescent
and they want pubes to get blowjobs, here's my tips.
I bathed with shorts on.
Yeah.
Really hot.
I couldn't see.
You didn't have any pubes.
One pube did.
I used to trap steam in my shorts.
I used to think it would be like a greenhouse effect.
A VV.
Chromium. Really? You're in fucking hydroponics. You're getting the UV now, lad. I used to think it would be like a greenhouse effect of UV really
fucking hydroponics
you were getting
the UV in our land
so I was doing that
so I get kids
like fucking
like growing weed
so I did that from 12
three years later
full bush
full bush
must have worked
you do the maths
it must have worked
I can't say it
the other way
aye
because like
before that
you were keeping it
in the dark
just moist
and all you had was one mushroom.
Yeah, that's right.
That's not enough.
It needed natural sunlight.
That was my theory in pube growing.
I was really late with the pubes.
Yeah, it's hard, isn't it?
I don't get it.
It's crazy to me.
If you told me at 13, you know when you're 32 no one cares
about pubes i still felt like my mum bragged about having pubes i because my mum did brag about having
pubes she when she do to you well everyone well she watched megaphone on the street ringing the bell got this bush what she'd do
she'd shave
her fanny
uh huh
and then borrow some to you
and leave
the hairs all in the bath
little bit of titty tip
for you
she'd leave
she'd leave all the hairs
in the bath
uh huh
and to me
that's her telling me
only one of us
has got pubes in this house
oh so you think
she's playing main games
yeah yeah
I don't see any ginger hairs you were engaged in pure psychological warfare we a man who was just buff pubing you know
and then I'm and I don't I don't know how to rinse the bath so I'm just fucking he's gonna
get you he dinner it was record times funny pubes on me back That teaches you to grow pubes quick.
You don't want to just whack and run like Chewbacca off your mother's pubes.
No, I've seen my mum's pubes so much.
You're there covering your mum's pubes right after sport,
but you can't go get a shower,
otherwise you'll wash them off.
So you've got the pubes to show off,
but you've got to think like,
I'm going to get showered at home,
but still like flash and run.
They're all black though.
Your mum's pubes are all black.
Yeah, so they'll go, if I did that to the boys,
check my back hair.
I'll go, ah, fuck off, that's your mum's pussy hair.
Well, you could just say you used Just For Men.
Yeah.
I used Just For Men on my back hair.
But like, all this.
It's all about black hair, mate.
That's it.
Fucking, so you were scared of founding the plug hole?
Yeah.
You're scared of cats?
Scared of cats, wasps, mashed potato.
You should, Piaf.
You have Daniel's cats there as we're coming to the house.
Yeah, cats just go for me, man.
Yeah, I feel like they've sensed evil as well, cats.
Yeah, they're really.
They sense darkness.
That's why I like dogs more because they're
thick aren't they uh yeah they're like docile yeah just happy i i used to have some strong
opinions on dogs before i become a dog lover and owned a dog business with my wife
you used to dislike but i used to dislike well i didn't i feel like everything was misconstrued
and twisted by the internet when people took the words i said and used them against us as as verbatim but i was like dogs love you for biscuits they'd love you if you were pedo
if the white if the white they're on you're fucking a kid they'd still be all over you
where do you think they've got no moral compass i think pedophiles will be attracted to cats though
you think so in that they see themselves as highly intelligent and above the law.
Like cats have that snooty sort of...
Is that why you don't like cats because they're pedos?
Yeah, because a cat looks to me and goes,
I could get a girl in a boot.
You couldn't.
Do you know what I mean?
It's got sinister intentions.
And I'm like, fuck's sake, I wish I could get a girl in a boot like a cat.
I wish I could. I don in a boot like a cat. I wish I could.
I don't hate them because they do that.
I hate them out of jealousy
because I can't do that.
Can't drive.
How are you finding touring without a car?
You're stringing a lot of gigs together over tour. It's not just like you're doing a weekend in a city. Because doing a weekend in a city you're stringing a lot of gigs together with a tour.
It's not just like you're doing a weekend in a city.
Because doing a weekend in a city,
you'd say I'm kicking it in Liverpool this weekend, right?
I'll get a train due on a Thursday.
I'll get back on a Sunday.
Bob's your uncle.
You live in the city for that three days.
Every three days may be between Edinburgh, Glasgow and Leeds.
Yeah, so we did.
Middlesbrough is your next one, isn't it?
Yeah, one week we did.
Manchester, Hull, Southampton, Belfast, Dublin.
Yeah.
What you've got to do,
it's a lifestyle I've cultivated.
Yeah.
This is a lifestyle podcast.
In prep, it's preparation,
and it's called Magoo time.
Magoo time. You need to prep for Maggoo magoo all right tell us about magoo so magoo is basically fucking up yeah so you need to allow
fuck up save my golden hour save me gigs at eight i plan to get there for five the difference
eight minus five that's three hours magoo uh-huh. We've got three hours Magoo.
So three hours Magoo can be trains going wrong,
getting on the wrong train,
being cancelled,
having to get a replacement bus,
all that kind of stuff you allow for the Magoo.
Yeah.
And a fucking worst case scenario,
you're getting the most expensive Uber of your life.
Yeah.
You're making nothing from the gig.
Yeah.
I wanted to,
because we was a bit worried in the whole Southampton leg. Yeah. Oh, that's what I mean. And you're making nothing from the gig. Yeah, I wanted to, because we was a bit worried in the whole Southampton leg tour.
Yeah, oh, that's bleak, that.
That's bleak, that.
So I was priced up getting a chauffeur
just as a Southampton gig,
just make complete, lose money on the gig,
but just turn up like a fucking hummer.
Make a podcast episode of it,
just get your fucking camera set up in the thing.
Get a hummer to Southampton attic.
Yeah.
So you priced it up,
willing to cut the losses and still went,
no.
Can you remember what the price was?
It was like 700 quid or something.
Aye.
But I was like,
you know.
But luckily,
once that.
You must have been tempted,
but.
I got talked out of it.
Yeah.
Good friends will talk you out of that
Because I don't
I don't value money at all
Yeah
Because I've always been skint
I would a bit of money
I'm like
I'm not arsed
Me and my lass
Have got such different
Concepts of money
It's class
Because she's
She's posh
Yeah
She'll not say she is
Because she's got good values
Yeah
But what she thinks
Brogue is
Oh it's been Like she I've seen her because she's got good values yeah but what she thinks broke is oh it's been
like she
I've seen her
say she's
worried about money
with fucking
tens of thousands
in her bank
and I'm like
oh I need to be
minus tens of thousands
yeah
and like
going into the
going into the
branch
for seven quid
because I can't
withdraw seven quid
yeah
and the seven quid
isn't even minor to
me overdraft yeah that's where i've been yeah that's where i've been so fucking when she when
she's when she's tired of being broken like i like having money worries all right oh there's so many
layers yeah there's so many layers that i don't i don't understand that but I have it with mates as well. They go like, oh, can't come out to the match.
I'm a bit skinned.
I went, you don't, you're not.
Aye.
But that's how savers save.
Because when my wife's made these calls,
it's cash flow and that money that I'm talking about is untouchable
because that's for a house deposit in the future.
She's thinking about, we're going to be buying a house deposit in the future. Yeah. That's the,
she's thinking about we're going to be buying a house
at some point.
We'll kind of touch that.
Yeah,
nothing's untouchable.
uh-huh.
And she's really like,
she,
I would have,
I was in 30 grand of debt
when I met her
and now I haven't had debt
since 2017
and it's all because of her,
because of her values
have been instilled in me.
No,
yeah.
But I still,
I still know
what the bottom is
yeah I've never
answered letters
when I was 21
I got a three grand
overdraft
put it on a horse
because I thought
in my head
I thought
I'm going to be
a professional gambler
but I just need
I just need
I just need a base camp
to go off
but in your head
did you not know
what a professional gambler was
that they would just put it all on one horse off but in your head did you not know what a professional gambler was they would just
put it all on one horse
yeah but
are they not
are professional gamblers
not like fucking
chipping away
with little things
this was
this was an 11 to 10 shot
it should have been
one to two
I was like
the value in this
is unbelievable
there's no way
this should be
11 to 10 this horse
I put three grand on
I just went out
of working in the bookies
I don't know for the way out of the bookies gambling I just went out of working in the bookies I don't know if I'm the way
out of the bookies
gambling
I like the poetry of it
It seems to work
for everybody else
in this room
Everybody else in here
God I've lost
some good friends
from the big win
I never saw them again
after that
There's been actually
no trajectory at all
just absolutely
just flatline solemnness
but I just wanted a base camp
to start my gambling career
and it was Lloyds
and they had this class thing
internet banking
have you heard of it
and you could just like
request your overdraft limit
so I just put in 500 quid
accepted a grand accepted they just kept on accepting me You could just like Request your overdraft limit So I just put in 500 quid Accepted
A grand
Accepted
They just kept on accepting me
Debt was a bad
Badge of honour for me
When I was growing up
I couldn't accept it for credit
I couldn't believe
He was giving me this money
He was mad
Giving me this money though
So
But three grand on the toss
It fell at the first fence
It fell over
Your price It was fell over yeah
your price
almost fell over
and I was earning
1200 quid a month
after tax
I got 1200 quid
and I'm in a
three grand overdraft
so I just get
1200 quid
and it just gets
swallowed and swallowed
so I just changed banks
and never opened
a letter again
from Lloyds
never paid them back
10 years
12 years
have you checked
your clear score?
experience yeah double digits are you alright 12 years have you checked your clear score Experian yeah
there
double digits
are you alright now
have you got your shit together
I swear to god
have you got
have you got financial hygiene now
Jamie
have you spent 700 pound on homers
from
Paul to Southampton
without the corrects
I just
I just fuck money up the wall
yeah
it's mad
I have to have like
a separate account now
for
for gigs
just so
my mentality is like
just leave that
because I just
so what I make money
from gambling
I think I deserve
a big win
I've got it in me
do you know what I mean
I know I have one of these
big wins in me
have you tried getting
an overdraft
with someone else
I'm not even going to
I'm not even going to
try and stop you
I'm going to encourage you
I can't even get an overdraft
you're going to be the devil
on both shoulders I can't even get I can't even get an overdraft. You're going to be the devil on both shoulders.
I can't even get an overdraft from Starling.
Do I embarrass him?
Who's that?
Is that like a Wonga?
Starling Bank.
It's like one of these.
The fact I haven't heard of it tells us that it's a little bit backwater.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
I can't even get that.
That's ridiculous.
It's like getting turned down for a pint in Glasgow.
You're too drunk, mate.
It's impossible. Do down for a pint in Glasgow You're too drunk It's impossible
I just don't
Value money at all
I actually fear having too much money
You're coming in
With a nice level of success now
Worthy as well
You've worked hard, you've grafted, you've put in the suicide
Mails in the circuit, you've worked hard
At your podcast, you're getting
Your reward for your hard work.
Yeah, that's what I mean.
Now, are you prepared for the reward you're about to get?
You're going to probably get money that could kill you, Jamie.
Well, I'm very fortunate I've got a girlfriend now.
If I was single, I'd be dead.
Yeah.
100%, with this money I'm getting.
And the amount of coke I'm getting offered at gigs and stuff.
And I'm trying to curb it
but it's just
see what I've found
if I can
if I'm in any position
to give advice
it's take more drugs
than people
who have a drug problem
but don't let it
become a problem
yeah
absolutely
do that
drink more
than people
who've got a drink problem
but don't let it
become a problem
don't let it get in the way
of your career don't let it get in the way of let it become a problem don't let it get in the way of your career
don't let it get in the way of your relationship
and your family
don't let it get in the way of any of that stuff
the minute it does
realise you went too far with it
rein it in
I know it's so easy to do innit
that's what I do with gambling as well
I've got so many fucking vices
that I just
and I just get stuck in
I don't see it as a problem
I just see it as getting involved
do you know what I mean
having a go
have you been to Vegas
nah

my whole year
is centred around

Right, yeah.
Like we're thick.
Late for everything.
Like proper dyspraxic and stuff.
You Magoo'd this podcast.
Oh yeah, Magoo.
Oh, I did Magoo this podcast.
Yeah, so I was telling you,
me and his,
like we'll do the podcast in Edinburgh.
Yeah.
I've got the portable stuff
that we use in hotel rooms, we'll do it in Edinburgh. And you got the portable stuff that we use in hotel rooms
we'll do in Edinburgh
and you got off the
sorry Glasgow
I said Glasgow
I live in Glasgow
that's how easy it is to me
we said Glasgow
and you got off the train
to Edinburgh
and you went
right let's see where Kai lives
and it was back the way it was
it was a nightmare lad
it was like
I've magooed this to the point
I can't even make it anymore
yeah absolutely
we were doing it in Edinburgh
so we were in Wolverhampton
we had a coffee
we couldn't find the exit yeah of a service station I can't even make it anymore. Yeah, absolutely. We're doing it in Edinburgh. So we're in Wolverhampton. We had a coffee.
We couldn't find the exit of a service station.
So we're just surrounded by cars in a car park.
But it's a coach car park.
And we didn't know how to find it.
So the coach had fucked off without us.
So I had to get an Uber from Wolverhampton to Cheltenham.
For your free tickets.
Your free tickets ended up costing you
if you bought the tickets
it would have been cheaper
than the Uber you've just got
but then
£20 Somerville boy
won the first race
won it all back
and then proceeded
to lose it all
for the rest of the day
there it is
and then
on the way home
we couldn't find
the coach car park
at Cheltenham
so we missed the coach
again
so we missed the coach again.
So we missed two coaches there and back.
So we had to walk from my house to find a train station.
It's horrendous.
Yeah, shade tapes.
And United got knocked out of the Champions League.
And you're like, and that's what I'm going to revolve my entire year around.
That lovely, joyous experience that brought me nothing but hell.
Cheltenham in our house is big, and I'm not exaggerating.
It's more important than Christmas to us, to our family.
Yeah.
So, like, Christmas Day, it's like, yeah,
we just have a curry and mochi, standards and that.
Do you put up a little tree and just hang, like,
bookies, pens, and stuff?
Yeah.
Pen slips and stuff.
Stirrup.
We have a Christmas card book, pen slips.
I remember once, because Boxing Day is obviously a big day of racing
and football and stuff.
So my dad gave me 50 quid,
you know, for Christmas money.
Gave it me on Christmas Day,
and he went,
and that is being betted.
That's so funny.
He's like, you're not spending that on clothes
or anything stupid.
Get yourself something nice.
You can gamble with it.
Put that on a knacker.
Yeah, so it's just drilled into me.
What's the biggest win you've had?
A few grand.
I've had days where money's not happened.
Like the turnover in some days has been like 10, 12 grand.
Where me and my mate, we used to,
even when I started a job,
I used to book four days in the Britannia Hotel in Manchester
and just go in the piss room, mate,
then I'd nip in work, do a shift,
then go back out on the piss.
Nice.
And we were in the bookies as well.
In the bookies hungover.
And there's one day where we'd won like every race
and was up a few grand between us.
Then we went casino and was up like eight, nine grand.
So I just stayed straight through through bang on the beak just
fucking right through two two and a half days on it nipping work fuck off early from work like 1
p.m and then my mate's doing five ton of dog and the dog racing five ton of dog and then i can't
even imagine the fucking fear and worry oh Oh, I love it, man.
Do you like it?
Do you like that?
Suffrage.
I love losing.
Professional losing.
There's some.
Do a show.
There's something.
There's something brilliant and cathartic about losing your last fiver.
Do you like how comfortable you are in the pits?
Yeah, I love it. Yeah, do you like how comfortable you are in the pits yeah I love it
yeah I mean it's it but I'm riding high and I've got that all the thousands of pounds I'm like oh
your comfort zone this is class unfamiliar terrain but I just need I need this episode
to end now I need so ended disaster master but he was doing five to the dog they nip it out get
the brass and they had like four brasses in a day
so if the dog come in
he spent money
if the dog come in
he was getting a sex worker
five tonne
nip through a brass
back in the book
I'll meet you in an hour
getting a brass
but he was just like
he was obsessed with
brasses
and I was obsessed
with dogs
everyone's going to
have their base
it's amazing
fucking oh I wanted to I wanted to tell you as well you know can I read out Everyone's going to have their bites It's amazing Fucking
Oh I wanted to
I wanted to tell you as well
You know
Can I read out
The last exchange
That we had
On Facebook
Oh yeah
Go on
Can I read it or not
Yeah
Why
Because
I want to read it
Because
Something similar
Happened straight after
Messaging you
Oh really
And it was worse
Than the exchange
We had
Oh no So I'm just going worse than the exchange we had.
Oh, no.
So,
I'm just going to find the message
that I sent you
because I come on Facebook,
I saw your tour in town,
I come on
and I messaged you
so that I could
meet up with you
and do this podcast.
But you know when you just
haven't spoken to each other
on Facebook
for a good few years
and then you see
the last exchange that you had.
It was a beautiful thing
Because I didn't even know
What you were on about when you texted this
So this is 11th of July
2018 at half past ten at night
He went, hey lad
If that's even at me being kicked out
I didn't mean to say mong
Jamie I hardly knew you
I think you did a punch drunk gig or something
for me
off recommendation
you did a North Shields punch drunk
or something
it'd be like
you went
I didn't mean to say mong
I'm just fuming mate
I'm so angry
I said mong
I'm just fuming mate
I've apologised on the comment as well
I didn't mean any offence like
I'm just saying
I just went
nah I was on about Mark. I didn't mean any offence. Like, I'm just saying. I just went, nah, I was on about Mark Nelson.
I didn't say a post.
I wouldn't have been asked by Mong.
And then he went, oh, I called someone a Mong.
My head's gone, lad.
So that was our exchange.
It just made us laugh because five years ago,
and I totally fucking, none of that exchange was in my memory at all.
And I was like, oh, fucking hell.
I know what it was. Can you remember what oh, fucking hell. I know what it was.
Can you remember what it was or not?
I know what it was.
It's a World Cup.
Yeah.
And there was an argument on the,
the Psychic Comics football group.
And it was called,
Where Comedians Can Talk About Football Away From Pricks.
Yeah.
And all I had done is flippantly replied about Mark Nelson,
just going, I thought they said away from pricks.
Yeah, yeah.
And someone, we got beat,
it was like obviously when Croatia beat us
and someone was mowing at Southgate,
I went, shut your mong.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
And then obviously you said,
and then because you said,
I thought they were meant to be talking away from pricks,
I went, oh, fuck, is that me?
Yeah, you instantly connected the dots.
And because it was
England semi-final
I'd just been
on it all day
and you just
power out
yeah
yeah
that's very funny
so that
I bring that up right
because
like
a day later
after that
so I'm gonna
I'm gonna be doing this
this panel show
and it's about Newcastle
right
so they want to have an ex-footballer on the panel so um so i'm gonna i'm gonna be doing this uh this panel show and it's about newcastle right so
they want to have an ex-footballer on the panel so um there's can you remember a footballer called
olivier bernard yeah yeah left back yeah so he played for newcastle i think he had a stint at
rangers as well yeah um but i i've done a gig with him a while back at this like show racism
the red card thing right there he was his last I don't know if he's still
with the same last
but she's from Ponteeland
she's from the North East
and he was there
as a guest of honour
and we're backstage
and I spent the whole time
backstage just showing
his last
a video of Lauren Robert
clearing the ball
hitting Olivia Bernard
in the face
I remember that
and Olivia Bernard
goes like comic jelly legs
yeah yeah
like wobbling like this
and he walks
several steps
before his consciousness
leaves him
and he falls over
some shot Robert
he was fucking
like scalding it
off his face
so I show his last
this video
which is howling
and we watched it
about seven times
me and his last
watched this thing
so I've worked
with Olivier Bernard
before
and I know
I think he owns a pub
with somebody from Blythe
or they run a pub together
or something or they're a pub together or something
or they're in business together.
And I half know this lad.
I went to school with him, but he wasn't in my year.
So I went to text this lad to see if he had
Olivier Bernard's number so that we could get him
on this show.
And I just messaged him just saying like
the messages about that.
But before I sent the message, I come on
and seeing that I've messaged him before
and he'd
replied he'd replied to one of my stories which you can't say anymore saying why is your face
twisted and i went i it took a beating it's been 35 years of getting in the way of stuff and then
he went ha ha ha ha and i went football boots fists car windows the north sea you name it so he
started naming cock balls balls, tampons,
question mark at the end of each.
And then I sent him a picture.
This lad I hardly know, of me with a
tampon in me teeth.
I mean, I'll send it to Matthew.
Fuck it, that'll end up on the internet, sure.
I sent him
that picture, and then I was at the
point where I was like
I don't even know
if I can message this lad
asking about Olivier Bernard
because
I'm a shambles
it has to bump that conversation
I'm a shambles
and I've been on it
the anxiety I get
I just get a flash of
fucking hell man
do you remember when you pissed that guy off
in 2012
yeah
and I'll just message him
I went
Oh lad
Are we alright
10 years ago
You act on it
Yeah
That causes the problem
Yeah I know
That activates
The overthinking
I have to
Sometimes
Seriously
When I wake up
When I've been on
On the beak and that
And
Because I black out
I have a sip of a drink
And I'll wake up Do you know what I mean Yeah okay I have to sip of a drink and I'll wake up
do you know what I mean
yeah okay
I have to get my phone
and put it in another room
so I'm not even tempted
to go and look at it
so you've got to
take actions
I've got to
it's got to
it can't be near me
because you know
you know
my theory on
intrusive thoughts
right
is you're going to be
getting intrusive thoughts
all the time
you're the filter
right
you can't choose
which thoughts you're going to get right but the minute your action of thought
the part of your brain that gives you the intrusive thoughts goes oh he acts on them ones give him
more than once he acts on them so i've always likened it to like a sushi chef if a sushi is
putting like fucking his stuff his niggeries and all that on the on theyor belt. And then somebody's getting a particular one and eating it.
He's like, I'll make more of those.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Supply and demand.
Supply and demand.
So your brain's giving you full-on fucking supply and demand
based on how you're actioning your thoughts.
So if you action intrusive thoughts like,
that guy in 2012 thinks you're a dick,
and then you action it, it's going, oh, he likes them ones.
He likes them thoughts
I'm going to give him
more of them
I accidentally started
a rumour about
an open spot
years ago
and it got back
to me in a car share
and I went
ah fuck I started that
you know
ah no
I was pissed up
and I went
I'll give him
a fake name
I'll go
Elliot Steele
I went
you know Elliot Steele
don't wipe his arse he doesn't wipe his arse oh no so I was like we're talking go Elliot Steele I went you know Elliot Steele don't wipe his arse
he doesn't wipe his arse
oh no
so I was like
we're talking about
Elliot Steele
and inverted commas
and the guy
I went
oh yeah
it's weird
that thing
that he does
he doesn't wipe his arse
what
yeah Elliot Steele
doesn't wipe his arse
before a gig
he likes the itch on stage
just add to his performance
I don't know
this actually really
scans with a light steel
yeah
it really
it really
it really like
explains his stage presence
yeah
that's why he's so moody
so I've
I've told my mam
that Milo McCabe
is a never nude
basically told the story
of Tobias
from Arrested Development
I don't know
if you've ever seen that but he wears his jorts
in the shower
and I just told that story about Milo
before my wedding so that my mum would like
look at Milo in a different way
thinking he was never nude
he always like puts on like clothes
like around clothes to get changed
he's never got his cock out, his showers were shorts on
that's what I mean
the Elliot Steele
Don't wipe his arse thing
That ended up on graffiti
In the King's Arms toilets
Yeah
In Salford
And
Six months went by
If that wasn't you
That weren't me
That weren't you in a blackout
That wasn't
Well
Could have been
It wasn't my handwriting
No
It was neat
But then
Six months later
I'm in a car share somewhere
And he went
Have you heard him about not wiping his ass?
I went, no, no, he was like me.
Just starting these little fucking...
Fuck.
And another thing I used to do to ask...
Do you reckon it's got back to them?
Must have done, yeah.
So what...
There's memes made.
What year was it?
Oh, this is like really early days, like 16, 15, 16.
Okay, so...
It hurts that you think that's really early days.
I feel like a fucking veteran.
I feel like a World War I veteran
hearing someone talk about World War II.
Me talking about how tough the Belgrano was
when you've been in the Somme.
So is that comedian still a comedian?
No, I went back to teaching.
Did they go back to teaching?
Oh, that's actually give people a lot of...
Oh, shit.
That's proof that it wasn't Elliot Steele.
Teaching.
You know what the thing is?
That's the one job where you've narrowed it down
to 80% of comedians.
Oh, no, yeah, yeah.
It's still a lot.
Yeah, it's mad, isn't it?
I just imagine a lot of teachers from my school,
if they went into stand-up.
It's so bizarre to me.
Nah, there's not a single teacher who I had in front of us
that I would have...
Nah.
Do you ever remember any of them being funny?
Yeah, we had funny teachers, but not stand-up funny,
do you know what I mean?
Nah.
Like, funny for teachers. You know what i mean like funny four
teachers now you know what made them funny the fact they swore yeah if any of them swore they
were class i said just call me mick hi yeah i mean and they're the ones that when you look back
why are you being that desperate man i try to be that desperate you You were a teacher? No, I worked for a hairdressing academy.
You've got such hidden depths.
So I worked in recruitment for this hairdressing academy, yeah.
Just so that you could get cuttings to put in your bath. So your mom was like, fucking hell, Jamie.
There's loads of wigs in the bath Of that bitch
So I worked at this hairdressing academy
And I was in recruitment
I'm meant to interview me
So you were, head on
You were recruiting
I'm going to call you a bluff on that
I was recruitment, yeah
So head on
You worked in the hairdressing academy
Not as an academic
But you worked in the academyressing academy, not as an academic, but you worked in the academy as the HR.
Sales, like sales.
So basically it's…
So you were an office worker at the hairdressers?
Yeah, but sales.
So you didn't touch the hair?
Didn't touch the hair, no.
Didn't touch the hair.
You just pitched a good haircut.
Yeah.
You were knocking on people's doors, just going, pretty much here is out so i i drink salons uh-huh it's basically like hogwarts
for hair i'm listening so uh like you'd get like 16 year old predominantly girls some lads as well
16 year old girls in do what do hairdressing i have to find them a salon to work in so like
an apprenticeship and then they do two
days at the college right two days at the college and free in the salon basically so i've got ring
salons i've got a nice girl in your area wants to do hairdressing drop an apprentice four pound
thirty an hour they say yes or no that's basically my job yeah so what i have to do as well it's welcome the the girls so every friday we'd have an intake
of of people who want to do hairdressing now a lot of the time they don't want to do hairdressing
it's just that there's no qualifications needed you don't need any gcsc so if they put their exams
up yeah they'll just come to us i mean and some of them like been told to come here by the job
center or whatever yeah and a smaller percentage have a real passion for hairdressing yeah so i'd have to do a
presentation to these like 16 year old girls about what the job entails yeah about about how the
course is so i'd have the slideshow on are you the person that taught the teenagers how to do the
head wank no no i'm not i'm not. I'm just... I always found that
the weirdest thing
when you go into
an actual hairdresser's
not a barber's.
Oh, my goodness.
And they put you in the sink
and they wash your hair first
and then a teenager
just comes up and massages you.
He's nearly like,
ah, right,
this is a bit Epstein Island.
Oh, I had a hair...
Mate, you don't even...
That's not even the worst of it.
Hairdressing is mental, mate.
There's going to be
a big panorama
about hairdressing.
Is Danny going to be
on Dispatchers again?
Slosses on Dispatchers with Woody's barber.
Calling out for Dallas or something.
Hairdressing is wild, right?
So I'd give this presentation to the girls,
but I'd be like sat on the desk, the sideshow playing,
but yeah, we can skip that slide.
And I went, hey, just call me Jamie.
I was like, oh yeah so i'd have to interview the girls one-on-one interview them and give them a score out of 10
they're like they're showing passion for the industry they're really what i do it customer
service you're like yeah yeah yeah you're looking at how like they interact as a human because
they're going to be working in their shop front. And you score out of 10?
Yeah.
So we'd have really high-end city centre salons.
It's really damaging that you mark teenagers out of 10, Jimmy.
This gets worse, mate.
Oh, no.
Right, it gets worse.
So we'd have really high-end city centre salons
and we'd have, like, shitholes, like,
in the rough areas of Manchester as well.
Yeah.
I mean, every area is caked for so
they'll get la twos and threes so well every time i most of them like six seven out of ten and then
i remember the first time i had a 10 out of 10 candidate absolutely fucking smashed it every
answer was like hear this why bang i really want to do it switched on really switched on proper conscientious like
mature beyond the years so i went to my manager the jude bellingham yeah the jude bellingham
so she's like i i go to my manager go oh i've got a 10 out of 10 candidate here we need to send her
to the posh salon in the middle of town Yeah She's got the Tony and Guy
Yeah so
It has to be
Like top end
And he goes
Oh great great
Which one is it
I went
Oh that girl there
And he went
She's not town centre
I went no no
We're interviewed
She's like
No no
No
She's not town centre
No
Because she was big
The rate
The rate in our own appearance
Yeah
Oh cunt
They went
We can't send her there
They won't have her
Cunt
So we'd have to send
Like
I went
I went what are you talking about
Hang on hang on
This guy is like
That 16 year old's
Not attractive enough
Yeah
To go
The fuck is he marking
A young impressionable
Yeah
And then
Human on that
And I was I was That man needs to watch The Barbie movieable human on that? And I was...
That man needs to watch the Barbie movie.
I was gobsmacked.
I was like, are you messing?
So then...
Did you call him out on it or were you still like...
I went, I'm going to send her.
So I sent her anyway.
Oh, good, good.
I sent her for an interview.
I've got an amazing girl here for you.
She's absolutely smashed it.
And she's gone to that posh
sick centre
she didn't get the
job
and it's impossible
if they judged it
on the right
you know
the right thing
yeah what a
fucking red flag
on that man
yeah
what a red flag
like the fucking
the fact that he
is weighing up
last year
that's like you
know the
the old school
fucking
the newspaper
had done like a countdown on
Charlotte Church's
Coming of age
And like that bloke
Who did that
Oh yeah
It's just
It's an
Endemic in the
It's capitalism
It's just the industry
norm
it's like no one
even shrugged
I was bloke
because I was new
to the hairdressing game
it's brutal isn't it
Lassus didn't stand
a chance in that
claim of mine
and then these
girls coming in
with like too much
fake tan
and you know
fucking rake thin
just chewing gum
in the fucking
interview
I don't even want
to be here
get them to the
city centre get them to the city centre
get them to the city centre
it's like
it's fucking mind blowing mate
fuck
that's when it's really sad
I know
it's crazy innit
aye
and what
like what year was that
like when we're talking now
is that
it's covid
that's still happening
that's happening now
I actually got a cease and desist
from the
company
because you
because I said it on a podcast
and it got clipped up did you did you do it again do you wantist from the company because you said it on a podcast and it got clipped up
yeah
and you're doing it again now
do you want to shut the company out
no
because you've got a cease and desist
fuck
isn't that bad though
the hairdresser
isn't that bad
that on a podcast now
with a profile like I have
and the knowledge that you have
of that industry
you kind of just look
through the barrel of the lens
and call them out
because even though you're right
they're
they're gonna well it's threaten with action it's not just them it's it's industry
it's the industry why because that's what i mean because to be honest the way my manager said it
he's a really sound guy and he went i don't agree with it but i know if we send her there they're
not gonna have her and they're gonna have a go at us for sending her I just know that's going to
happen
yeah so he
he was just
going off the
claimant
yeah he was
like she's not
town centre
it won't
she won't get
the job
and if you
send her
you'll build her
hopes up that
she's going to
get it
which I did
and then she
didn't get it
she went to
some shithole
in Eccles
it's just like
working class
men in comedy
that's what it is
mate
just making a
film of ourselves it's just this London centric It's just like working class men in comedy. That's what it is, mate. Just making a photo of ourselves.
It's just this London centric.
They don't make Northerners.
It's exactly like that.
It's the same.
We're just on our accents.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
You don't know our plight.
How are you finding as well the difference between now that you're touring?
Do you find a difference when you go down south?
Do you find a difference?
I had to be.
Was there a difference between Hull and Southampton on that double?
Nah, do you know what?
Because you've got your own crowd as well.
Yeah, that's what I mean.
Yeah.
You're not playing a sensitive multicultural crowd.
Well, Hull was the only one where someone walked out.
Is it?
Yeah, yeah.
And what did you do?
He was talking. I put him down a couple of times and i
think he's seen his ass about it so he went oh i've enough of this then i'm not out yeah well
don't forget interrupt them mate they they don't they don't see it not going their way when they
pipe up yeah we know which is bananas i know it's absolutely bananas that they think that they're
ever gonna win that exchange well i'm I proper humiliated him as well.
So someone dropped a glass and it smashed.
But it was in the middle of a bit where I'm in a restaurant.
So I just went, and someone threw a glass.
And it's like, oh God, it's like he was there, isn't it?
Sort of thing.
Just because it matched into the bit.
Yeah, yeah.
And he went, absolutely smashing.
And I just let it hang.
And he went, just, that was absolutely smashing and I just let it hang and he went just
that was absolutely smashing
and he said it again
I went
mate everyone heard you
the first time
you know
and it died on its house
and then I went
we're just going to sit here now
for 10 seconds
while we get rid of that
just the stank
just let the stank settle
open a window
that was you that
that was me fucking cunt people at home will be laughing Just the stank. Just let the stank settle. Open a window. That was you, that.
People at home will be laughing because I do shit like that with Daniel all the time
on purpose to derail it.
Put the fucking stinkiest pun in.
In the middle of his rants,
I'll just fucking...
It's like Leafs on the line.
Body on the line.
Just how you're fucking stinking pooey,
knowingly stinky
pong with you
fucking pun in the middle
of like
because he gets really passionate
when he's tagging
and he's just like
shut up
so fucking good man
aye so fucking
that was in Hull
that was Hull
Hull's one of them places
we always have
a nice time
when we go but never like going it's one of them places we always have a nice time when we go
but never like going
it's one of them places
like I think
the people are out right
the gigs always
are out right there
but that's why
I feel for you
not having a car
on the tour
because that means
you have to stay
in the city you're gigging
yeah it's not ideal
but I like staying
in old town
but it's sometimes
nice to you know
if you've done like
if you've done Bradford
and then your next gig's in Leeds
just go and bed down in Leeds
for two nights
and then you can go
I mean that's just a
it's probably a bad example
but like
you can
you can schedule it
in a different way
you can schedule it
where you go right
I'll check in
and have two nights
in a hotel here
because after the gig
I'll do the drive
and then I've got a full day
of not driving
and go to
sleep in the same bed like about sleeping in no towels is it's clean i have a very very bad room
i do is yeah a mole on the wall and that you don't even seem like the type that would have like a
filthy room jimmy that would sleep like like a cleaner's house is never tidy you know what i
mean yeah it's just such a You just admit this
I live in squalor
I've got me shit to go about
Like I thought
That you'd have everything
Alpha ties and all that
And like really
Like one
I'm a proper squalor man
So living in a hotel
Is luxury to me
Like this is like
Fuck
Even a cheap B&B
Feels like
You know
The Radisson
Do you have a plan
on dealing with that
what
do you wanna
like the fact that
you live in squalor
the thing is
I shit in the bed
all the time
aye
my girlfriend's
pretty against it
which is fair enough
she's against
you shitting in the bed
yeah
me and the fucking
women are just
like this all the time
aren't they
yeah past that jaw
even ironic misogyny is still misogyny oh we've got a charity
jar we've got a charity jar mate where we're fucking these are post-it notes with how much
we owe because we're going through too much cash and we didn't want to keep that much cash in here
but it's like you know every time you're racist in a bit or misogynistic or homophobic within a bit instead of dealing with a problem we just take the tory way out and
we'll put a five at war charity uh we used to start it off right with like this podcast in 2016
started off with muggle corner where it was like if you put your decorations for christmas up in
november you're a muggle get in the corner for 30 seconds. If you request a song off the DJ in the nightclub,
you're a muggle.
And now it's like,
gay people started the Holocaust.
It's just how we've transitioned.
What is it,
five for a time?
Five for a time.
But it's nice to put something back.
You've got to put it back
yeah when we're running Punch Drunk regularly
and that was making a bit of money
we're always like
to support charities and stuff
like it's always nice to
do a little bit
on a selfish side
it's easier to reject charity muggers
if you're doing charitable stuff
in the background
oh yeah
because you'd be like
I already thought of a charity
I signed up
this is embarrassing
I signed up to
deaf kids signed up. Oh, this is embarrassing. I signed up to deaf kids.
Signed up.
Oh,
that's so good.
He's had it.
I signed up to deaf kids.
That's a short joke.
The deaf kids society. because the girl was fit and i just
liked the conversation with her oh yeah and i was there for eight eight quid a month so 96 quid a
year so i reckon i spent 294 92 quid uh-huh on just a conversation with a pretty girl did you did you learn saying language
on the way
no
or you just like
got it
this is good
for the listeners
this
this is good
for the listeners
I'm doing the finger
hole
and pointing
right
so that
that was my
charity contribution
because a pretty girl
spoke to me
cost me 300 quid
did you get anywhere
didn't go
anywhere i signed up and went i'll leave it and i left it for two years so i knew she was probably
like oh for fuck's sake i've got to talk to this guy that stinks of shit again with his mom's pubes
on his back but fucking honestly the we need the money in the society i've got to fucking put up
with this the deaf kids need a bus mate um i. I also, I had an interview for one of these charity mugga jobs.
And the guy interviewing me was like proper like David Brent type.
Do you know like somebody who finished ninth on The Apprentice?
Yeah.
Sort of person.
Proper goal getter.
So I tried to impress him, yeah.
And he went, it says here you create your thinker on your CV.
So I went, yeah.
He went, can you just go into that a bit more?
So I went, well, put it this way.
I don't just think outside the box.
I live outside it.
Oh, what do you mean by that?
I went, oh, well, you know, think of thoughts as the box,
and I just got lost in this metaphor.
I'm dying on my ass. You ended up going,
wait, listen, I am the box.
I'm dying on my ass.
You just said earlier
that you were great at interviews.
I was class at interviews, mate.
I made a woman cry in an interview.
That's not what they measured on.
No.
I've got this. That doesn't make it good.
I've got this technique for interviews and first dates.
Oh, no.
And you either get a job or a shag.
Okay.
Or a second date, at least.
You know, not all women sleep on the first date.
No.
I owe it a five.
Yeah, we'll put it in for you.
We'll put it in for you.
Get the job.
You get your first couple for free
well you don't, we pay for it
there we go
that was very problematic
he's trying to change
and the way he's trying to change is
donating other people's money to charity
sorry women
so yeah
there's success
there's success one way or another
so in this interview process
And my manager went
I've never seen the owner of the company
I've never seen you control
A room like that
I was on Zoom
That's my guess
I thought your guess would be
Take the interview chair and take it round the other side
And sit it in between them
I've done stuff like that Where grab the water first Take the interview chair and take it around the other side and sit it in between them.
I've done stuff like that where grab the water first.
I've done stuff like that in interviews all the time. And start pH testing it.
Get a testing kit out.
Some crunchy little tablets and all that.
Just going, yep, you need a filter.
That's the first thing I do when I come into this company.
I get you a good water filter.
Put it in an ice cube tray, freeze it,
and go, always thinking of solutions.
This water's not warm enough, mate.
So I used to work with dementia.
People who had it.
And I used to write their life stories.
So like people coming with dementia.
It was always just the same chapter.
Just over and over again.
Thousand page tomes.
So this is the story I tell on first dates.
Just to show like, you know.
You told the story of the notebooks in an interview.
She goes, what did you do there at Age UK?
So I work with people with dementia
and I used to write their life stories
basically
it's like a reminiscence living room
so living room set out 50s style
and
they'd come in with their son or daughter
or granddaughter
and we'd do weekly sections
so we'll talk all about your school life
one week, all about work
all about your husband etc
Tame at war
so I'm like 5 weeks in
with this woman called Elsa
and it's work week and really getting on with Elsa
she's really coming out of her shell a bit
and she brings all the posters
all the pictures in
from when she worked
she worked as a nursery teacher for 30 years
at Beehive Nursery.
So I went, oh, Beehive in Openshaw.
That's where I went.
I don't know what years was it.
And she went, oh, I think she left in 93.
Oh, I would have been like 94, 95.
So I probably just missed her.
So you got the newbie in.
Yeah, and then she's got pictures
and there's a picture of her
at her leaving party
and she's cutting into her leaving cake
and next to her
is me on my mum's knee
at three
she was my first ever teacher
and now I'm my last ever carer
do I get the job?
you're doing a job for a charity mugger
That was your
No that was
That was
To get the job in the hairdressing academy
Was it?
Yeah
And you just melted the hearts
And then created Teenagers of the Town
Yeah and I've said it with girls on nights out
Have you?
I said it to my girlfriend on our first date
Because they just see
they just see us
this like fucking
bed shitting
like reprobate
and then find out
that you've just got
this soft core
yeah yeah
and they feel like
that they can fix
everything else
oh that's it
I'm such a project man
aye but like
kind of big project
yeah
it's DIY
it's not a fix
our robot
it's like
if a Nick Knowles
wouldn't take this it's like we a Nick Knowles wouldn't take this
it's like we're
going to have to
work on the
foundations of this
one I think
but there's
something in it
there's something
there
it's resale value
it'll be worth the
hard work
there's something
there man
you've got to make
yourself out to be
a project of a
sensitive soul
for jobs and
I was a fashion project for me, Mrs. Lake.
This is where she got me.
That's fine.
I'm all right.
I'm a lot more plain than I would have been if I was left to my own devices.
I think I was quite colourful in my choices.
Nothing ever went together.
I had no eye for that.
Oh, really?
Right, okay.
But my lasses just rain it in a lot.
Oh, just colours that clash.. But my lasses just like, just rain it in a lot. Oh, just because there's that clash.
Just be a bit more plain.
Let your personality shine through.
You're not town centre, mate.
You're not town centre, I'm not.
I'm not town centre.
Despite my charisma,
I just couldn't get the town centre work.
You're not town centre, right.
Because of my crooked face
because of all the tampons that have hit it
that tampon in my teeth
story
come from
it was a girl
I took a Viagra
and she went
she went
why would you take Viagra
you don't need Viagra and I was like it's would you take Viagra you don't need Viagra
and I was like
it's not about
needing Viagra
no
it's just
you'll just enjoy it more
there'll be
there'll be a round two
we're in for a good night
yeah

put a cape on it
it's got superpowers
for the evening
it's roids

I would have done a good job
anyway but I'm gonna do you
yeah
better job
than eat
and she watched us take the Viagra and then fucking kicks in.
She started laughing and went, I want my period.
And I was like, you fucking arsehole.
She's howling.
Because in her head, she's playing a practical joke on us.
Oh, it's funny.
She's playing a practical joke.
And I was like, you would do this like that?
I'm sassy.
We'll just do it anyway.
I was like, I think I need sex more than you can't have sex
yeah and she just went all right we can do it if you're technically a teeth thinking that i never
would bluff called oh as you can tell by the picture wasn't that bad yeah it wasn't that bad
but uh but she got a got a photo and took a photo of it. And that photo was just in the fucking,
the depths of my fucking darkest photo fucking archive.
And when that lad suggested that I got hit in the face with a tampon,
I dug out the photo.
I'd clearly been fucking drunk or something.
You can't have one kind of aggro.
It's too sad.
Nah.
Can't say I ever have because I've always.
Oh, no. I have. I've always no I've not oh no
I've
oh I have
I've let
I've let one go amiss before
I took
I took one on Christmas Eve
and I've done stand up about this
so I don't want to
yeah fuck anybody

but I took it on Christmas Eve
and then like
me last was just too drunk
and we just ended up
like Christmas morning
she was too shabby
she just fucking
didn't want to date
I've had the exact same thing
but this thing called
Holy Grail
what is it?
it's like
Viagra

your butthole wide

robbing

and the girl was sick
just throwing up
everywhere

I'm not obviously
an ogre and it's just like I'm not obviously an ogre
