Sloss and Humphries on the road!
Muggins and cream, cream and muggins, straight thuggin', livin' the dream
That's our intro
Fuckin' muggles!
Tickling the clit inside your head that makes you laugh
Woohoo!
Hahaha!
They said it can't be done!
Are we in the same seats?
That's hack
Ah, muggles
Accidental rim job in the park
Kiss kiss kiss
Or am I just being cynical?
Just muggled it up on fuckin' Mugglepedia
Where have you been since 9-11?
What the fuck is this?
Am I meant to know what this song is?
Muggins and cream!
Is that Justin Timberlake?
It's 112.
It's 112. Did you not enjoy that? It's 112. It's 112.
Did you not enjoy that?
That's how we started the podcast.
Ugh.
I've done it as an Insta story.
So I'll send that now.
I'll send that now.
Everyone gets dead excited.
All 1,200 of them.
They got it.
Well, let's see my Insta story.
No, they're listening to the podcast.
There's over 4,000.
Is there? But you've probably got the number I boot read on my Insta story? No, they listened to the podcast. There's a full season. Is there?
But you've probably got the number I boot read on my Insta story.
So they're going to see that.
They're going to see the music playing
and Muggins and Cream sat there just having their chemistry,
having their vibe.
And then they're going to be like,
oh, sweet, there's a podcast coming.
I can't wait to see what happens after that.
And that's this bit that we're doing now.
Oh, right.
So they're all excited
for a potentially happy version of this podcast
for the first time.
You are happy.
I mean, they're not going to think it
because you look miserable in that video
that I've just posted online.
Because regardless of how happy I am,
I still fucking hate the intro
to every single one of these podcasts.
I mean, but that one actually had music.
And it was like,
your name was in the track,
like I thought it might like... Well, I mean, look, your actually had music. And it was like, your name was in the track. Like, I thought it might, like...
Well, I mean, look, your heart was in the right place.
I can't fault you there.
Delivery lacked a little bit.
Aye, aye.
It's, um...
But, um, first opening start of a new decade.
A new cream.
Happy 2020, everyone.
I hope it's better than 2019.
Not only 2019 was good in retrospect,
you know, with, like, graduation goggles on.
Sure, for you, absolutely.
Come a bit closer to the podcast.
Like, the levels are fine.
I just miss you.
So you still haven't got the, like...
Because I had this big sigh of relief when I...
Because even after the travelling from the tour,
I still had to travel back to Newcastle
to see my family,
which I love doing,
but it still wasn't being at home.
Aye.
Which is the thing I was craving the most, right?
So I loved, like,
being with my mum and dad,
doing the punch drum gigs,
doing the stand,
and then I went up
and I just lay horizontal on the couch
at Natalie's parents
for the week
between Christmas and New Year.
Enjoy like it. Drink, watch the fucking and New Year. Enjoy like a drink,
watch the fucking football.
I was on Prime having all the matches on.
What a day that was.
I played on the Oculus Quest a bunch
because I picked one up
and Alexander, Natalie's brother, got one
so we were playing archery
in different rooms of the house.
I need to get on that with you guys.
Is that Elven Assassin?
It's really good. it's a good game
I was shiting it
at first
but I'm starting
to get the swing
of it now
but it was a
really fucking
good time
even after that
went for a
spa weekend
at this
stately home
for massages
and jacuzzis
and steam rooms
and just like
properly
pampered
and then it was
like last week
probably like
just the day
before New Year's Eve,
11 days ago,
12,
what the fuck days?
Two weeks ago.
12 today, aye.
Two weeks ago,
got home,
and I've been home since,
and now all of that travel,
like,
is forgetting about all of the woes of the travel.
All of the, like,
schlepping a bag about everywhere,
is forgetting about all I remember,
is just the fucking good bits.
Aye, cool.
Sure.
Are you still hurt?
I'll never
be able to say
I enjoyed that tour
aye
nah
because you submitted
that in your head
I look back
like I talked
because when I
it took
I promise you
that tour
took 15 years
off my life
at the end
and my own fault
the way I was
handling it
the way I was
drinking
the way I was
doing drugs
the way I was
eating the way I was over the gym but that tour took 15 years off my life at the way I was handling it the way I was drinking the way I was doing drugs the way I was eating
the way I was over the gym
but
that tour took 15 years
off my life at the end
and I'll never ever
but that's what it
if it came from the bottom
of my heart
like
from the bottom of my heart
it was unbelievable
like it was
when I talk to people
about it right
I don't bring up the
like
sometimes I go
oh it was a bit heavy
like I'll slip that
into conversation
but usually I'm talking
about the fucking
times we had drinking
in Tokyo
and like
in Moscow
and I didn't talk
about the shit
because like
people that work
fucking long shifts
and have kids running
they don't want to hear
you complaining about
fucking going to the
airport with a bag
right
then I suggest
they don't listen
to the podcast
so like
I'll talk about it
fondly right and because of that like I've kind I'll tackle it fondly
right
and because of that
I've kind of cemented
it fondly in my head
I hope I get to that
that sounds nice
it is
it's good
it's really good
I'll try and get there
but I'm not
I'm absolutely not
sometimes Danny was a bit
of a fucking whiny bitch
I'll never
it was a once in a lifetime
thing
and I mean that
sincerely
never will it be done again it was a good achievement a lifetime thing and I mean that sincerely never will it be done again
it was a good achievement though
surely you have a sense of achievement
like when it all finished
when you unpack your bag
you get home
you unpack your bag
and by the way
the fucking weird
not knowing what to do with yourself
when you've got fucking
days off at home
it's like
I mean
like
there's so much stuff I want to do
that I can't choose
which stuff to do nah I lost who I was I'm like a kid's so much stuff I want to do that I can't choose which stuff to do.
No, I lost who I was.
I'm like a kid in a candy store.
I'm like, do I want to go on a Muay Thai?
Do I want to fucking...
I imagine, I feel like,
I imagine similar to what it fucking feels like.
You know, when fucking Friends ended
and fucking Lisa Kudrow must be stood there being like,
what do I do?
Look, I'm Phoebe Buffay. I'm Phoebe Buffay.
I'm Phoebe Buffay.
And she's going for other auditions
and she's auditioning as Phoebe Buffay.
Phoebe, right?
And she's like,
is it Phoebe you want me to play?
And then in a long shot,
we're like,
look,
as a gimmick,
we'll put you in as Phoebe.
20 years later.
You get like one scene as Phoebe.
Right.
She was good.
Long shot's a fucking belter.
It's a belter film.
She did play Phoebe though. She did, well, yeah. She played Phoebe who'd get in a job. Right. She was good. Long Shot's a fucking belter movie. It's a belter film. She did play Phoebe, though.
She did.
Well, yeah.
She played Phoebe, who'd get in a job.
Aye.
Aye.
Which is such a shame, because Phoebe is,
and this is an opinion I've had for my entire life,
and I will have forever.
Phoebe is the worst character in any sitcom ever.
Not for her character, but for what she created.
Yeah.
Phoebe Boo. She created Cookie as a personality. Aye. Random as a character but for what she created. Yeah, Phoebe Boo...
She created Cookie as a personality.
Random as a personality.
She created a whole
brand of muggles. There was a whole...
There was also this entire thing that obviously people talk
about how toxic Ross Geller was
because he wouldn't let
a moron believe that
her dead mother was a cat. Like it was
ignorance's bliss. she absolutely propagated
ignorance and made this personality
trait of, I'm not going to learn
anything, I'm not going to improve as a person
I'm just going to be weird
and everyone has to deal with it, and you go
no, that's
not an enjoyable aspect of anyone
like just be like, maybe
maybe there's energies within all of us
you're like, alright, cool
it's
utterly
illogical
propagated
ignorance
going back
and watching
it
did you
watch
good
plays
you had
me
start
watching
that
I was
all in
I was
pretty
high
when I
watched
it
I just
haven't
followed it
up
I haven't
carried on
watching it
where can
we find
it
it's on
Netflix
good plays is excellent and it's brilliant it's got haven't carried on watching it where can we find it it's on Netflix Good Place is excellent
and it's
it's brilliant
it's got Jamila Jamil in it
who
the less said about her the better
but the
her character's great
all the characters are great
except for
what was that bit
what she done to you
oh
anyone
anyone who knows
who Jamila Jamil is
someone's been heartbroken
sure
that's it
yeah yeah yeah
I'm not
I'm not no I'm not.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Trust me, trust me.
I promise you, I promise you,
it's not a rock you want to lift up, ever.
It's not a...
I'll talk to you off the air about her.
Not a rock anyone wants to lift up.
It's not worth it.
Do you know the girl?
No.
Nah.
No, no.
Okay.
But the other character in Good Place is...
Phoebe, the character,
spawned that character in every other sitcom and it's the worst character in every Place is Phoebe. The character spawns that character in every other sitcom.
And it's the worst character in every other sitcom,
which is the, why don't we just have a fucking moron?
And you go, that's not...
If you're going to make a moron, don't make a moron lovable.
Like, being stupid, right, is not...
It's not a good trait.
And it's something that...
I don't care who you are.
I understand that education...
As a friend, when Elliot's a moron
we're taking it upon
ourselves to correct him
yeah cool
I will not
stop being this wrong
always
when every fucking
misspells I'll correct
him all the time
stupidity is
you're allowed to be
stupid but you have
to try and be better
everyone should be
trying to be better
that should be
everyone's goal
is to be becoming
a better person
anyone who remains
fucking stupid is shit
and there's too many idiots
in the fucking world so in good places
I can't remember the name of the
Jason his name's Jason
his character's fucking he's just thick
he's just thick for the whole fucking thing
and then I say something stupid
and you go I fucking
ugh no depth
it's a very American thing I find
no no that's not true,
I guess fucking
Dylan Moran's character
in Black Books is,
mate,
he's not a moron,
Bill Bailey's character is.
I haven't seen that actually.
You haven't seen Black Books?
Nah.
Oh,
it's a belter.
Nah,
it's got a real big following,
doesn't it?
Because when we were doing
the first European tour,
where Dylan Moran was,
like,
just ahead of us
at every step of the way,
he was at every gig
before we got there,
like,
he was the tour,
that was like,
the week or so before in practically every venue venue and apparently he was getting a huge following
all around europe from black books oh yeah it was fucking i don't know i don't know his age but
black books when i watched it when i was younger was it was one of the funniest shows in the world
it's just dylan moran at his peak bill bailey at his fucking peak uh and i can't remember the name
she plays fran she was in Green Wing and everything so
so you've
come out of the tour
where you were
hating yourself
and
and
like
feeling
like
you felt like
you were
dealing with mental health problems
for the first time
oh a little bit
well
you've
you've
you think like
because you seem
in a lot better place now
because I'm not
there's a first time
I've seen you since Christmas Eve
Christmas Eve you were alright
actually
you were there
it was clearly
not
I shouldn't really pair it
with mental health issues
because it was situational
I guess people
with mental health issues
a lot of it's down to like
yeah yeah
a lot of people with mental health issues
they go I'm sad
and I don't know why I'm sad
whereas I knew why I was sad
you knew why you were sad
it was because I was on fucking tour
and it was because I wasn't the same tour
that I'd been on for two fucking years
doing the same fucking show
and you weren't looking after yourself
no not at all
so it was on me
I take full responsibility
for how I was feeling on tour
it wasn't
people with mental health issues
especially things like depression
they don't get to control
how they feel
like it's a chemical imbalance
and it's devastating
I would never ever say
what I had was
depression
because I did have
control over it
I just chose
but it was tough
because if like
imagine your body's
a vehicle right
you were like
fucking
foot down to the throttle
fucking
hard steering
every single corner
and you're like
you're like
my car's breaking down
I'm like
well fucking
change the oil
like fucking
take your foot off the gas
like go
like fucking
full throttle everywhere
just because I don't
because just
just get me fucking home
so I can burn this car down
run this into the ground
like this
I don't want to be in this car
I don't want to be in this car anymore
I want to be fucking home
and I don't want to be driving
and then
and then you get home
and you got exhibit on the fucking case
and now you're meditating
you're going to therapy
and you
you get up
and go for morning walks
you eat vegetables
no, let's not take it too far
I'm not doing vegetables
I ran for a bit
but that just
doesn't work for me, anyone who
enjoys running, please continue to do it well done
just understand that mentally
I'm superior to you, because
it must be bliss to be able to just
turn your brain off what a life what are you doing that was i'm mentally superior for you it must be
good great for you to have such control over your mind no to just have no thoughts
i'm not gonna think anymore and just no it's a No, it's that thought where you chase a thought.
Can you remember I had a routine, like 2014 Fringe Show,
where I had, like, Larry takes the wheel,
where I had my subconscious mind, so I'll start reading a book,
and then something in the book will trigger a thought.
Larry goes off on that thought as if it's someone else borrowing my mind.
And my physical body keeps on reading.
And then I get back to the book and I'm like three pages ahead.
And I'm like, fucking, I've read all those pages,
but I didn't take any of it in.
Because Larry read it while I had the thought.
So when I'm running, I can let Larry do the running.
I'm getting this metaphor right.
I can let my subconscious do the running
while I, Kai Humphries, go off and do the thoughts. And the world's passing around as I'm getting this metaphor right. I can let my subconscious do the running while I, Kai Humphries, go off into the thoughts.
And the world's passing around as I'm running.
But I'm just thinking about a bit of material.
I'm thinking about fucking...
All I'm thinking about while I'm running is,
one, this is the lowest form of exercise in existence,
apart from walking.
The only lower form of exercise than running is walking.
Jogging, if you want to get into fucking semantics
about it
like if you want to
if it's for weight loss
doesn't work
it's not good for weight loss
unless you run for
four hours a fucking day
and change your diet
hit sessions
compared to a hit session
hit sessions are great
running's great
like
I can't
I just
look for people
I don't want to
I stand by fasted cardio
but you're never going to do that
I don't want to
that's what I was doing for a week not going running on't want to. That's what I was doing for a week.
Running on a fucking empty stomach.
That's what I was doing for a week.
For people that works for it,
I don't want to ruin things for other people.
If that works for you, please fucking keep that.
It does not work under these circumstances.
Speaking to runners, they're like,
do you not get the natural high?
And I'm like, I've done cocaine, cunt.
Like, shut up.
It's never going to compare.
You get this runner's high
when you're out
I'm like
I'm assuming a runner's high
is symbol to
a walking high
it's fresh air
it's getting through you
I get a high after I do
you know
any workout session
it's not exclusive to running
but you're not getting
the benefits of running
because you fucking
you haven't ran for ages
right
you've been drinking
you've been like
smoking weed
you've been vaping all this stuff you're going for a run it's going to be shite because you've been drinking you've been like smoking weed you've been vaping
all this stuff
you're going for a run
it's going to be shade
because you've fucking
never been for a run
you're going to knock
the cobwebs off
but why am I running
for what
for your health
no no no
there's better things
for my health
for things that are
good for my health
there are 25 things
above running
and for things that
are enjoyable
there's 25 things
about running
above running running is the lowest form of again for things that are enjoyable there's 25 things about running above running
running is the lowest form
and again
for people that enjoy it
great
but understand
it's the easiest one
it's the
it's the
it's the one foot
in front of the other
of exercise
it's the fuck
it's a piece of piss
it's literally
something you learn
a day when you're fucking
as soon as you can
stand upright
you can fucking
move forwards
but being on a bike is better you need a bike you know like there's other things the other things
running is 25 it's it's it's not in the top 10 of anything but it's the it's definitely the easiest
method of getting fit oh yeah but you know what if if that's boring for you if you're giving if
you're giving like where your head is because you're concentrating on putting one foot,
I don't know how you're concentrating
on putting one foot in front of the other.
I'm not.
You can do that.
You can do that as easy as breathing.
It's just the entire time I'm running.
So then your brain's free to do whatever.
But if you find that boring,
then do something where you have to focus your mind,
which is maybe it's a little bit like
more hard organised
because like you can have a game of squash
where you're going to be moving around.
Oh, man, squash around because at Liz's
you need to find a way
to move your body
get your blood pumping
get oxygen to your cells
like fucking
I did two weeks of running
because I was like
fuck it
it was just for me
just the way I treat myself on tour
I was like right
it's about punishment
for living your life
the way you
not the way I wanted
but when I was on tour
I was drinking when I wanted I was smoking when I fucking wanted I was, when I was on tour I was drinking when I wanted
or smoking when I fucking wanted
and I was eating
whatever the fuck I wanted.
I was just doing that.
I was like,
you're going to run
just so,
because it's miserable
and it makes you miserable
and the runner's high
is a myth
and it's a lie
or at least it's just
not true for me.
I was like,
you're going to do that
just so.
I don't feel the runner's high,
I like running
but I don't feel the runner's high
the way people talk about it.
The way people talk about
the runner's high is if it's like fucking coming up off Molly. I like running, but I don't feel the runner's high the way people talk about it. The way people talk about the runner's high
is if it's like fucking coming up off Molly.
I'm like,
oh, you just haven't tried Molly, have you?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's just,
I imagine if you've never done drugs in your life,
a runner's high must be fucking brilliant.
In the same way that if you fuck,
like in the same way the water test must taste amazing
when you're dehydrated.
But let's admit,
it's not the greatest drink in the world.
You know what it's like?
You know them...
I bring this up because we use one in an escape room.
But you know them sliders where you put the binoculars to your eyes
and you press the slide and you see a picture on the slide?
It's like someone pretending they're as fascinated by that
as you are of the VR.
Aye.
But they haven't been in the VR.
So they're talking to you on the same level
oh and then you
flick the slide
and then another
picture comes up
and you're like
no no you don't
understand there's a
whole fucking new
world that you're
going to mess
yourself in
have you played
Mario on the
Gameboy
have you played
Zelda on the
Switch
no no no
but Mario on the
Gameboy you go
it's not
it's not
comparable
it's not
comparable
you're in the
foothills
of what high is
I'm really glad
you enjoy Mario,
but you need to understand it's not the peak of gaming
just because you haven't played it,
just because you can't afford the other games, right?
Aye, or the fucking propaganda I've got to you.
Oh, absolutely, aye.
And again, for the people that fucking enjoy running,
fucking bless you, keep fucking doing it.
I'm jealous of you.
Not for me in any way, fine.
Did it for two weeks.
It's a form of punishment. I treat it like it for two weeks. It's a form of punishment.
I treat it like a form of punishment.
It is a form of punishment.
And I'll never go a month
without working out again in my life
because it's been two weeks of abject misery.
There was one point I will admit,
on one run,
where I was like,
fuck,
on one of my fucking 14 runs,
right,
for 10 seconds,
where I was like,
okay, no, I get,
oh, no, it's shit again, no, it's done.
It's just, it was just instantly shitty.
And then the second, yoga is,
I'm getting to that, I enjoy that.
Meditation, I don't believe in any of the hippie shit about it,
because it's not true.
I believe sitting down and breathing,
controlled breathing and trying to clear your brain
for 15 minutes a day is decent.
I like the idea of meditation being time off from yourself. and breathing, controlled breathing and trying to clear your brain for 15 minutes a day is decent.
I like the idea of meditation being time off from yourself.
Like when your thoughts are spinning,
whether you're listening to a podcast
and you're processing
what you're listening to
or whether you're running
and you're thinking about material
and like from the minute you wake up
to the minute you go to bed
and including when you're asleep
in your dreams,
you never have a break from yourself.
Whereas with meditation,
you just stop any of the thoughts
from coming in
and you just
mildly
bat them away
and just give yourself
an empty head
for 10 minutes
like hocus pocus
fucking chakras
and fucking spiritual
all that shit aside
all that shit aside
how
how is just giving yourself
a little bit of head space
ever going to be bad for you
it's got to be belter for you
just declutter it
10 minutes of guided meditation
they're free on YouTube
10 minutes of guided meditation
you stick in your fucking headphones
I gotta talk you through it
in the morning
and honestly
and I
as somebody that
has only been doing it
for fucking two weeks
I was getting
much much bigger
fucking highs
off of 10 minutes
of meditation
than I was
from 45 minute runs
and substantially higher I would say the feeling I had of 10 minutes of meditation than I was from 45 minute runs and substantially higher.
I would say
the feeling I had
after 10 minutes of meditation.
You did more with your breath
for 10 minutes.
You've got to breathe.
10 times more
like after coming out
of it being like,
fuck, I feel good
as opposed to
the only good thing about running
is when it's over.
That's the fun bit of running
where you go,
oh, it's done.
I ran.
I ran for 45 minutes. You go, what did you enjoy about it?
this bit, the bit where I'm not running
anymore, that's the best bit of running
whereas when I'm working
with other sort of workout stuff
for me I do enjoy
in a HIIT session when you get a real
sweat on, that's
I'm like fucking this is exercise
I can feel myself
I'm not getting,
I do not feel a single bit of health in my fucking body.
And how good are them little islands of rest in the HIIT session?
Like, you're going hard for 40 seconds on burpees,
and now you've got like 10 seconds left,
so you're fucking caning it,
and then you're like, the buzzer goes.
Aye.
And you just get to have a sip of water and just catch your breath.
Like, them little safe havens in the middle of the HIIT session
are fucking awesome.
It's good. I just think for me it's it's my pendulum during the fact of during the
that godforsaken fucking tour was uh so far on the other side it was uh it from the second i woke up
to the second i went to bed i was smoking weed because it was the only way i could be nice to
people uh piggy saying she's loving it and you health kickers you're getting up and making her
a smoothie before she gets to work.
You're like,
season the day for her.
I know,
it's good,
I wake up,
because it's great,
you know,
she's,
I've decided to just,
because a lot of the time,
someone that doesn't have,
any mental health problems that I have,
are of my own make,
and they're not biological,
they're not intrinsic.
Just,
you know,
it is my responsibility.
It is my responsibility to be better at it
and to handle things better.
You know, I did...
But the other thing about the tour is I just...
I couldn't put the mask on anymore.
I didn't want people to think I was fine
because it can never happen again like that.
That was the thing that gets into Marlena.
I'm like, I want you to see what this has fucking done to me
so this never happens again
I'm not
I'm not putting on
a brave face
you were like making her
like a bit of a misery
as well
just so that she could
feel it with you
like it was like
you had this like
feeling where you were like
I feel like you're the one
putting me through this
so you're gonna feel this too
so you never
so she never
ever ever ever
ever fucking does it again
that tour we went on was inhumane.
Seven long haul flights in a week was a bit heavy for me.
I just felt a bit like...
Because you do feel like you're in captivity
when you're strapped to a chair for seven hours a day.
Plus...
Matt, you do.
For fucking 250 days of the year,
you go on stage and you talk about the moment
that one of your ex-best friends
raped your other best friend
you do that every fucking day
right
for 250 days
at 365
right
while fucking travelling
and while drinking every day
and you tell me who you met
oh who the fucking
anyone
there's one thing
anyone that goes
and it doesn't
to be fair
it hasn't happened much
but anyone
nobody said
it must have been easy
and that's been really
I think people have understood
especially people
that listen to the podcast
and hear
what's happening
because I know
you don't check your inboxes
again for mental health reasons
right
don't check your inboxes
on Instagram
and stuff like that
but I've checked a handful
and a lot of people
were just checking it
and were like
saying that they hope
we're alright
and I think there was like I think
there was a general
understanding
the thing is
I wanted
absolutely
that did help as well
the fact that
we took these lot
with us
on tour
like it really
helped having
that support
and people
understanding
like meeting fans
on the tour
especially when we
were in parts of
Germany
meeting some of you
who really understood
really you know
sympathetic to it
it was really
fucking nice.
But the thing is,
I absolutely love this job
and we're so lucky.
I've got an overwhelming
sense of achievement
from that tour
and that was hard
but like,
the same as like,
I was trying to say
it was like the fucking
my late evening of a marathon
when you wanted to quit
and you couldn't relate
because you've never
ran that far.
But also,
I don't,
but you just go,
I didn't want to run the marathon.
But it was like, marathon but it was like
I guess it was like
you're saying the finishing
was the good bit
in the end
but no there's so many
good bits when you
boil it down
when you like
break it down
into individual moments
that can isolate
so many fucking
fun times
but it just went on
forever
but that's the thing
I feel good about
because I wanted
to enjoy it
I wanted so much
to what we went
was a fucking amazing and it makes you feel like a fucking sport get because I wanted to enjoy it I wanted so much to what we went was fucking amazing
and it makes you feel
like a fucking sport
because
I didn't
like
I lived the life
that any comedian
in the world
would want to fucking live
like that was the fucking
you know
you get to go to Russia
you get to go to Japan
you get to do all this
fucking stuff
this amazing stuff
to walk out
into places
that you've never been before
and have a room full of people
who fucking
adore you
and they're so excited
they're excited that they've got
one of the tickets
because it's been sold out for ages
and they've got one
they're buzzing
you don't want to kill the buzz
to walk out on stage
and to not enjoy it
as much as they do
made me feel like a piece of shit
it made me feel like
I was a fucking asshole
because but man every other job you always enjoy the meal more than the person made me feel like a piece of shit. It made me feel like I was a fucking asshole.
Because... But man,
every other job,
you always enjoy the meal
more than the person that's cooking it
enjoys making it for you.
He wants to be at home with his family.
But the thing is,
but our job isn't like other jobs.
Our job is amazing.
We are so fucking lucky.
And I was,
I felt like a fucking spoiled brat.
And it just ate and it ate and it ate and it ate.
And it just, you know,
and it just didn't fucking like it
so that's why
it'll never happen again
yeah because
that was when
the times when
you open up about it
it was the
the fact you felt
ungrateful
was the thing
that was eating you
the most
yeah it still does
man it's
it made me feel
like a fucking
so let's talk about this
because I think
this could inspire
a few people
you've took it
to the couch
you've went and
got therapy.
You've sat with a therapist.
I didn't like who I'd become in December.
If I've been 100% honest with myself,
I didn't like who I...
No, no.
You know me and everyone on this podcast know
how much I love myself.
I think I'm brilliant.
I think I'm the best thing in the world.
But I didn't like who I'd become.
I didn't like the way I was speaking to people.
I didn't like the way I was treating Marlena.
You felt like that yeah
your self confidence and your self love and all that
you felt like it was becoming a lie
because you didn't love yourself
I did not like
how I was reacting I was fucking short tempered
I was this
and I hadn't handled it
I lost part of who I was
because
so much of who I was because so much of
man I was
I was Daniel Sloss
all last year
I wasn't Danny
I wasn't DJ
I wasn't
I wasn't Sloss
I wasn't Cream
I was Daniel Sloss
every fucking
and being Daniel Sloss
you were the name
on the ticket
being Daniel Sloss
is fucking exhausting
because Daniel Sloss
walks on stage
with his fucking dick out
and tells you
oh he's the god damn
king of the god damn
fucking world
and don't get me wrong
I love that persona
and it feels
it's fucking
exhausting
and to meet people
you're just this
fucking angry bloke
on stage
and you come back
and you're like
I just want to cuddle
so much of my
so much of my...
Marijuana had become a crutch.
It was something, it was the only way I could feel...
You were morning, noon and night on that.
It was the only way I could feel joy.
It was the only way I could be nice to people.
I didn't like that.
I would have a little talk in the airport
and then maybe it's after the gig before bed,
but you were just like...
Every second of the day
from breakfast
right up until
I would
before
if you saw my
if you saw my show
in the last four months
I was
so stoned on stage
which by the way
which was another thing
which I will say
with the last four months
one thing I really did enjoy
was being stoned on stage
because
it made me have
so much fun again
you did a lot of writing
on stage actually
you had a lot of
like
it was different punchlines
in every gig
that you were just
like freestyling
after the Hong Kong
breakdown
going
especially
going through that thing
when I'd just
you know
people might not want to hear this
but when I'd stopped caring
when I'd actively
stopped caring
which I was
because I was like
I don't care if I go
on stage drunk
and I don't care if I go and stitch stoned
because I just don't care.
I'm careful there's a stain on me trousers.
I don't,
I couldn't give a fucking shit.
But it was funner.
I really started enjoying it
instead of,
you know,
limiting myself.
Those last three months
was,
because so much of the tour.
Yeah,
because building up to the Hong Kong gig,
you are reciting
word for word for word for word.
And then that was, like, you felt wouldn't,
even though, like, it still worked.
Everyone was still laughing at the same points
and you still had the correct rhythm.
Because a lot of people who are, like, dead behind the eyes
and phoning it in, as it's called in the industry,
a lot of them don't have the right rhythm in the crowd.
Right.
I didn't want to, well, I didn't want to,
look, the show was very, you know.
Like, nobody got shortchanged on a ticket. I was checking in on the, I knew the want to the show was very you know like nobody got
shortchanged on a ticket
I was checking in
on the
I knew the state
you were in backstage
but I kept checking
in on the gigs
and you were always fine
oh yeah
I wanted to make sure
that I was always
giving the
you know
be miserable
for fucking
22 and a half hours
of the day
but the night
miniature on stage
go on stage
and give them
the fucking show
that they paid for
six months ago
when they all
got fucking excited.
It's so much about the part of the tour
is I want to,
and whether this is right or wrong,
I want to be one of the greatest stand-up comedians
that ever lived.
That's what I want.
That's what,
and for fucking a year of that tour,
I was not improving as a stand-up.
I was stagnant in the fucking water.
Now, that was my own fault.
I could have, in those last four months when I suddenly went going on
stage stolen and going on stage a little bit drunk and having fun with the
audience I those last four months I was like fuck it oh my god like I'm actually
improved I was writing on stage I was laughing on stage I was fucking changing
how I fucking perform those last four months I was like fuck it okay now I'm a
real comedian again but we did we didn't write a thing
for like 18 months
that's not
that helps for
a creative person
like
I felt like
absolutely
like where creativity
was stifled
because
even though we could have
had writing practices
on the road
we're just stifled
I didn't want to
I felt
I felt like
fucking Woody
from Toy Story
just pulling
there's a snake in my boot
there's a snake in my boot
there's somebody's
poisoned the water hole.
But again, that was all on me.
So do you know where I started,
just because I felt like them creative brick walls were up,
and I was like, fuck, I'm going to smash these down.
I haven't wrote a single new thing, I haven't created a thing.
I started writing a children's book on my phone when I was flying,
and even then, I'd done it for over two weeks,
and I was like, what the fuck's the point?
It's never going to
see the light of day
it's like
I'm only doing it
just for the sake of writing
but you need an outlet
you need an outlet
if you're going to
write something
I was
yeah it was
the lack of creativity
is
so
get back to
talk to us about
the therapy
the therapy
how do you
so basically
just I decided
that I needed
therapy because I've in all honesty basically, I decided that I needed therapy
because in all honesty, I've always...
Anyone that goes to fucking therapy has a lot of my fucking respect
because you take an ownership of...
If you're not going to therapy, you're like,
I'm perfect and I don't need help.
And you're like, all right, enjoy that, you fucking weirdo.
Like, Jesus Christ.
Like, I suddenly...
And that's who I was for ages.
I was like, no, I can do this by myself.
I'm this, I'm fucking big, I'm fucking fucking strong I don't fucking need any of this shit and
and then just to myself I couldn't like it there was the proof was in who I was
and who I'd become and how I was acting proof was I was not handling it now
here's the thing as well it's it's not about I don't have it you know this
movie I don't have any problem opening up I've got I can talk to you about
anything I can talk to any of the you about anything I can talk to any of the goats
about anything
I can talk to Piggy
about anything
man I could
I could throw Natalie
out of the blue
if I was feeling
really fucking sad
I could throw Natalie
and she'd talk to me
yeah
and your parents are great
and they're always
keeping their finger on the pulse
with how you're feeling
and so many other comedians
I'm so lucky to have such a
genuinely
but you're talking to
a support structure
of people who have a bias
yeah
who are
going to tell you what you want to hear
rather than what you need to hear
and I just wanted
just a neutral and bias
sort of voice
yeah a professional
because we're not professionals
we know you're better than anybody but we're not professional therapists
I'm not a psychologist
I think I've got a psychologist but I think
I've got a good
I've got a good knack
for it
you know me better
than my
you know me better
than my
therapist knows me
but
my therapist knows
Brian better
than all my friends
and that's
you know
and he's able
you know
it's a neutral thing
also there's other
I'd love it right
if your therapist
was like
fucking real breakthrough
everything's going well
you're like
this guy's fucking great
this is so good
for my mental health
and then he just like
just pulled out something
that was a deal breaker
in a session
where he just went
ah you would say
like you're a Scorpio
oh
I'd lose my fucking mind
I'd honestly
I would break my heart
see if he
see at the end
if he was just
at the end he was just like
okay
let us pray
and I'd be like
let us what
I'd be fucking
seething
oh I'd hit the roof
oh you're trying to like
start interpreting
one of your dreams
oh I'm
you'd be like
oh for fuck's sake
I tell you what
here's the thing
I just think your chakras
are unaligned
I'm gonna unalign
your fucking jaw
you cunt
all me money
back up until this point
I give you
all of it
fuck you
you snake oil
another reason
why
for me
why I go to
fucking therapy
man
fame is weird
as shit
and it's not normal
I'm not going to pretend
it's normal
it's not
it's not a normal thing.
So do you sympathise for Aunt McPartland?
No, I don't give a shit.
No, I don't give a shit.
I'm sorry, I was presenting a show
once a week, difficult. Shut up, cunt.
You're going against everything
you've literally just said.
No, no, no. I think
I don't I didn't let it start affecting other people? No, no, no. No, no, no. I think...
I didn't let it start affecting other people.
No, no, no.
Yeah, yeah.
Also, man, fucking,
I do sometimes have a God complex.
And as much as... Sometimes, you know,
I'm a very confident person,
as some would say arrogant.
And I love playing up to that role
because I find it funny.
I enjoy it.
It's a fun character to inhabit sometimes.
It's an inspirational persona.
People get a reward sometimes,
Gan, when they see you being that cocky.
And it's fun to play.
I really enjoy, you know,
what would be the most arrogant thing to say
at this moment in time?
And I'm just going to fucking say that
and having people fucking roll their eyes and laugh.
I enjoy playing up to that fucking parody. But there have been plenty of times and I'm just going to fucking say that and having people fucking roll their eyes and laugh. I enjoy playing up to that
fucking parody but there have been
plenty of times if I'm being honest with myself
where I would say something
horrifically arrogant and I'd go
you meant that.
Like there was no irony in it.
Like it was shit and I was like
that's not good. Like the ego
is fine as long as it is a character
the second it becomes
fucking real,
check that in.
You're like,
oh,
I really said that
with Venom.
I had a forward brow
when I said that.
Aye,
aye.
I was,
I caught myself
a couple of times.
I just basically,
I caught myself
a bunch of times
becoming someone
I didn't want to be
or somebody I hoped I wasn't
and,
and it's nobody else's responsibility
other than my own
and I think
I've had a couple of moments where
I haven't recognised myself as like on the way
back from Glasgow
between Christmas and New Year
Natalie had booked the train tickets
and we get to our seat, packed
train right, can't get room for me bagging the
overhead locker and I was just going to Natalie I was like, why we get to our seats packed train right can't I get room for me bag in the overhead locker and I was just going
I was like
why we're not first class
like what are you
why did you book these tickets
like we've been fucking
grafted so hard
out of your run for
for this
and then I'm like
Kai who the fuck are you
like you are
like why did you
just get angry at your wife
for not booking
first class tickets
like that's where
I really take it
you privileged cunt
aye
like there was a point
where I literally
in a busy train
full of people
just like
went we're better
than these
and I hated
myself for it
aye
that's exactly
there were so many
points where last year
I didn't get it wrong
we're upgraded
aye there were some points where last year... I didn't get it wrong, we're upgraded.
There were some points where I did find myself thinking I was better than other people
and I don't think that's a good thing to feel about anyone.
You don't have to occasionally feel it,
but when it's a regular fucking...
I didn't become a diva. and you like to occasionally feel it like but when it's a regular fucking film and when you
I did
didn't become a diva
it's like if you can
check yourself
and laugh at it
when you think
that you deserve
better treatment
than other human beings
that's when I was
and I did feel that
at points last year
I was like
that's gotta be rended
and that's not okay
and that's what I mean by
when fame's fucking weird
right
is you know
you have people who love you, what you do.
And, you know, I do shows that really...
But I've been working hard.
Fucking everyone on that carriage has been working hard, motherfucker.
So we've never been working eight hours a week, three kids.
Two fucking jobs.
Yeah, gather through a divorce.
Or, like, they finish a shift just as their fucking missus goes to work.
Can't fucking see them working.
The boiler bust and they fucking have to try and their fucking missus goes to work. Can't fucking see them. Why can't I? The boiler bust
and the fucking
have to try and magic
800 quid for fresh air.
The difference
between us
They're grafting.
The difference between us
and a lot of people
The only difference
between us and a lot of people
is luck and circumstance.
And I truly believe that.
The only difference
between me and everyone
I went to fucking school
with people who
grafted at fucking university ones who went to college that once you dropped out had
two fucking kids got a fucking apprenticeship the only difference
between me and them a lot of the time is luck and circumstance so I don't get to
have any sense of superiority to them and I did and I did for a lot last year
and what that comes from is walking on stage in front of 2,000 fucking people
and have them adore every word
that comes out of your mouth,
cue up to me afterwards
and cry when they meet you.
That's not good for anyone's mental health.
And that's it.
And I don't...
It was funny,
you were telling us
you were reading self-help books
but they're all just applied
to your regular everyday normal guy.
And that you're trying to apply the same stuff
it's like try talking to the person
sat next to you on the train
you're like I want to fucking
flight every single day
I'm not going to talk to fucking anyone
just having that same
small talk on a regular
so that's the other thing
I'm in unusual circumstances
and I want to
but to talk to someone
who you know
a therapist who just deals with everything
and he doesn't give a shit
I think you're telling us he's a Dutch guy
I think that's the perfect accent for a therapist
he's so good
I don't want to be
you don't want to indulge too much
no no look because it's for me it is for me I don't want to go to, because I don't want to be... You don't want to indulge too much.
No, no, look, because it's for me.
It is for me.
It's for me and it's... I'm sorry for bringing it up in public and all that,
but I honestly think it could be a healthy inspiration
for people that might need it.
I'm not ashamed of it.
You'd be a good ambassador for it.
I'm not ashamed of it.
It's not something I'm fucking embarrassed of.
The only reason I don't want to talk about it too much
is just because
what I talk about
in my therapy
I'm going to talk about
in that room
with him
but if it does inspire
people to go to it
I think everyone
needs to go man
like it's
I have seen you
just like
you've been
sending everyone
to therapy
I don't know
I
it's just when people
talk to me about
their fucking problems
I'm like
you've got a therapy
and they're like
well then I don't then you it's just when people talk to me about their fucking problems I'm like you got a therapist and they're like yeah well then I
then I don't
then you don't get
to complain anymore
like you know
well not
it's it's
I guess like
if somebody's complaining
about their
their weight
and you can't
you can't go to the gym
and you can't
then you can't
aye well there's
there's your first step
it's exactly what you were
saying to me
the two of you
which is you're not
doing
and I wasn't
I was not doing anything
to make myself better
I was wallowing
and I was happy to wallow
yeah
and that was me
at the end of the tour
I was like
I'm miserable
everyone gets to know
I'm miserable
blah blah
that's what I was
not a good person
not who I want to be
and
so
I just
I think
you know
it's
I do believe
that everyone's goal
should just be
no matter how big or small just try and be a better person I think, you know, I do believe that everyone's goal should just be,
no matter how big or small, just try and be a better person.
And whatever, for you, that manifests,
for every person it manifests itself in a different way,
but just try and improve as a human being regularly.
Now, it's not going to happen.
Sometimes you're going to take one step forward
and then you're going to jog backwards for a mile, right?
It's not once, it's sometimes you find,
but just whenever you can put that fucking
it's like running
whenever you can
put that extra foot forward
really try to
and while everyone's
I've taken advantage
of the fact that January
you know
all the muggles
myself included
are doing
sober January
take fucking advantage of that
while nobody's forcing you
to go out
while nobody's going
fuck it
I'm not being pressured
to go out I'm not everyone's it I'm not being pressured to go out
I'm not
everyone's trying to be healthy
I'll just fucking
you know I've inadvertently
been dragged into it
I didn't commit to
no dry January
but like
everyone around us
is doing it
I've got no one to drink with
and now I'm like
12 days in
and like
I'm not going to like
crack open a bottle of wine
when Natalie's
doing dry January
and just drink it
on me own near her
and just live
full of temptation I'm not a dick so like I've ended up where I'm like bottle of wine when Natalie's day in dry January and just drink on me out near her and just live for temptation
I'm not a dick
so like
I've ended up
where I'm like
oh but now
I'm nearly
halfway there
so I think
I'm just gonna
sign up now
also I've done
a dry January
from Facebook
I don't think
I'm gonna get
back on
what
Facebook
oh I haven't
been on Facebook
since
July last year
and this will be
I'm genuinely
considering getting a
social media manager
for my Twitter
I think Twitter is toxic
and cancer
you think Twitter is?
yeah both
I think Twitter and Facebook
are both
every time I go onto it
and this is
one thing I just started doing
every time
I went on Twitter
I came off sadder
than I went onto it
and I'm like
why is that an app on my phone?
Yeah.
Why is there an app on my phone
that takes up 30 minutes of an hour?
Yeah.
So whenever I'm bored,
whenever I'm bored,
I go, oh, I just make myself sad.
I've never come off Twitter happier.
Instagram and Twitter,
I've started using repeatedly more and more.
Less today with me covering
and more today with me knitting.
And I like them more
because people are fucking really nice
when you're just showing them knitting stuff.
Aye.
And, like, I'm losing sight of the goal with it, I think,
but I'm having a better time on it when I'm...
I just...
Facebook's dead to me.
Twitter is.
It's just shit.
It's just...
I wouldn't... Why am I trying to find... Why on why am I trying to find
why on earth am I trying to find out
what Piers Morgan thinks about anything
like if
in a conversation right if you and me were just
chatting and you go do you know what Piers Morgan thinks
I go what the fuck are you telling me what Piers Morgan thinks
I'd do that to myself
what about for Outposts why don't you just be a
be a contributor rather than because you know what because people might want why don't you just be a that's not I don't be a contributor rather than a
because you know what
because people might
want to know what you
I don't give a shit
no no no
I decide
and this might be
dicky
I fucking decide
what content my fans
get and what I want
to do
and it's stand up
for me
right and it's
the fucking book
I'm writing
or it's fucking
whatever
I'm not a tweeter
there are some
incredibly funny
fucking tweeters
out there
who are very
fucking good
it's not who I am
I'm not funny on Twitter
I'm really shit
on Twitter
and I'm also
do you think you just
boil it down to Insta
because Insta stories
are good
sometimes
but yeah yeah
I guess on Instagram
I don't get the
you know
and if you stay
out of your inbox
that's like
it's like going on Twitter
and not seeing your mentions
oh yeah no I don't
I never went on
fuck it
well no that's not true
sometimes I go in
because I know
it's just really difficult it's a tough one for you because had you never went on that well no that's not true sometimes I go in because I know it's just really difficult
it's a tough one for you
because had you not
went on the Instagram
you would never have
met Ross Geller
so there could be
celebrities reaching out
to you
in your Instagram inbox
that you're totally
missing out on
like fucking meeting
your heroes
and your idols
well no no
I reckon if they really
wanted to meet me
they would reach out
and other things
but also that's not
it was fucking
meeting David Schwimmer
and it was very
very fucking
cool
did I call him
Ross Gellar
aye
and I said that
as if that was
his real name
did I
that bloke
from Band of Brothers
aye
meeting David Schwimmer
and that was
very
very sort of cool
but also man
I don't want to
look
being a celebrity
is really
cool and the advantage is massively
massively massively outweigh the negatives
right and also
for all the positives you get from
from all the negatives that you occasionally get with fame
you have to understand that it's outweighed
by the nightclub
and that's the thing
that you do owe to
your fans right
which is you know
no matter how
fucking tired you are
no matter how
fucking miserable you
are if anyone wants
to talk to you and
have a fucking photo
that's the deal
that's the fucking
that's the devil's
contract right
if you want 95%
of your fucking life
to be absolutely
brilliant
fucking suck it up
and I think on the whole
you quite like
the fortness part of it
I love it
I absolutely love it
I say
one of the things
that's really happening
awkward
I never say like
before you open that door
you're not like
oh god here goes
you're like
you're a bit buzzed
you're like
shall we gamete them
I do
I thoroughly enjoy it
but one thing
I've started doing recently
and it's
it's
it's not backfired
and I don't think it will
but the only backfire
if I take it
is a fucking backfire
but whenever
whenever I meet someone
in the street
or somebody goes
if you're Daniel Sloss
they'll talk to me for a bit
I always say it
before they do now
I go
do you want a photo
right
because
here's the thing
there's been so many times
where I've met people
that I really fucking
admire
you don't want to ask
for a photo
I'll never ask for a photo
because you just go it's so fucking embarrassing yeah I'll try I'll try and do it for you do't want to ask for a photo? No, I never ask for a photo because you just go,
it's so fucking embarrassing.
Yeah, I'll try and do it for you.
Do you want us to get a photo of you?
I'll try and get it for you from there.
I went to the gym the other day
and the girl was signing me up.
She went,
and I was like,
and she went,
and I went,
and she was like,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I'm just a big fan.
She was really sweet,
spoke to her for a bit.
And I went,
oh, there she goes. She goes, I'm signing up for the gym. She goes, oh, sorry, sorry, just a big fan, she was really sweet, spoke to her for a bit, and I went, do you want,
oh,
there she goes,
so I'm signing up for the gym,
she goes,
do a photo,
so she gets this from a pass,
I go,
yeah,
no,
I'd love to do a photo,
she takes the photo on my screen,
I go,
should we get that photo,
she was like,
oh,
I just meant for the pass,
but here's the thing,
and I was like,
and I'm like,
I'm so sorry,
my ego,
I assumed you wanted a fucking photo of me, she was like, would that be alright, and I'm like and I'm like I'm so sorry my ego I assumed you wanted a fucking photo of me
she was like
would that be alright
and I'm like
I'm happy to be the one
embarrassed in that situation
because I would
I have had moments
with people I really admired
that I didn't get photos with
and when they left
I was like
I didn't get a fucking photo
with them and I am
I don't want people to
I would much rather
be embarrassed
I would much rather say
to someone
do you want a photo
and then go no than have them just not be so awkward and so so scared or not wanting to
be intrusive i like what we were with dave chappelle when we went we were like backstage
with dave chappelle desperately wanted a photo of course i desperately wanted to brag about this
online we're fucking backstage with Chappelle and then it was Jeff
from Live Nation
just went
free my Live Nation guys
let's get a photo
like he just said
he put one on a level
he was like
three of my fucking clients
put it together
like thank you very much
for making that happen
and then we get the photo
where we're fans
but he didn't put
in the position of like
like doing that
Dave Chappelle
backstage
when he should be
in his safe space
did you see
Dave Chappelle
he was accepted
I can't remember
the award
he was accepted
an award the other day
in San Francisco
and did a 10 minute
speech on comedy
and comedians
afterwards
oh man it's better
so fucking
Tony Woods
is in the audience
and he thanks Tony he's like Tony you know I met Tony hey baby I'm we google Tony Woods is in the audience and he thanks Tony
he's like
Tony
you know I met Tony
hey baby
I'm Tony Woods
Tony Woods is
who inspired Chappelle
oh really
yeah yeah
and in this
so I've known
Tony Woods for years
and years
Tony Woods is one of
the greatest living comics
and I mean that sincerely
like he's
and I do not say this lightly
I would put him above
State
in that
but that same
that's high praise
like man
Tony Woods
as far as like a
master of the craft guns
like Stade's big
you may not be
the most fucking
high profile
but like
I reckon there's
high profile people
that look up to Tom Stade
yeah yeah
yes a hundred fucking
Tony Woods is
even bigger than that
to the point where Tony Woods is even bigger than that to the point
where Tony Woods
is
Chappelle even
admits in the speech
he's like
he inspired me
like the reason
I'm the comedy
is because
Tony Woods
and it was so good
Tony was in the audience
for it
so for me
someone who's known
Tony for you know
nine years now
and how amazing he is
and nobody knows
who Tony Woods is
which
Dave Chappelle
in front of a fucking
room full of people
just to be like
fucking Tony was you
was just
it was really
really beautiful speech
so what were we googling
fucking Dave Chappelle
it was within the last
week or two
it was in San Francisco
I feel it was some sort
of Benjamin Franklin award
or some sort of
American history guy
award
it's a 10 minute speech where he thanks his mum and everything.
It's just a really, really beautiful speech.
And it shows it when we're finished.
Oh, let's plug Altitude.
Yes, right.
So you start while I Google the dates.
Right, so Altitude Festival, if you do not know,
it's a comedy festival on a ski resort where you'll go and do your skiing and snowboarding and stuff through the day.
It's a town called Meyerhofen where it is.
And then in the evening...
In Austria.
In Austria.
And in the evening, because the Altitude Festival is on for this particular week of the year, all of the après-ski is comedy.
And there's just a bunch of us, what, like 30 of us go?
So it's from the 30th of March to the 3rd of April 2020.
And yeah, it's exactly, it's all of us.
We ski during the day, we board during the day.
Then at evening, there's normally three shows a night.
It's a mixture of improv shows or rose battle shows or straight stand-up shows.
There'll be one in the big room but there'll be

same dad
your dad
eats oranges
like hippos eat watermelons
he just sort of
tosses it out.
I'm like, hum, hum.
Sorry, my agent is trying to call me while I'm doing my dad jokes.
Your dad method acted...
Wait.
Your dad method acted being a member, Barry, for a full week for no other reason
than fake it till you make it.
Member, I'm a member. Your dad wanks like he's starting a lawnmower. a berry for a full week for no other reason than fake it till you make it. Remember? I mean me.
Your dad wanks like he's
starting a lawnmower in the garden and
offers to do your neighbours as well.
Your dad wet
willies himself to sleep every night.
Technically he cries himself to sleep but it's
the wet willies that make him cry.
When 14
children went missing over the course of six months in Blythe,
your dad was questioned and he just kept on saying,
a magician never reveals his secrets.
And when finally pushed after 12 hours of interrogation,
he finally just said, the first rule of fight club.
Your dad watches porn through frosted glass
because he thinks it should be censored.
Your dad is doing yoga because he wants to be able to see his own butthole because he thinks it should be censored. Your dad is doing yoga
because he wants to be able to see his own butthole
because he doesn't trust toilet paper.
Fair, fair.
Your dad keeps begging your grandad to play with his iPad
when you're all out for a family meal.
You toddler.
Your mum gets your dad to do foreplay
by making him chase a laser pointer
until she eventually lands it on her gash.
Your dad caught his foreskin in his fly
and styled it out as intentional by converting to journalism.
Your dad can't shit unless he's making direct eye contact
and can't stop until you look away.
Your dad has a bum chin
and it just so happens he's a bum man
and he can't shave without cumming in his pants.
Your dad really enjoyed the movie American Pie
and long story short, he fucked a Greggs cheese and bean pasty.
Your dad throws bread at the ducks
but he freezes the loaves first and throws them over him
like bricks with a shoot to kill policy.
Your dad thinks random security
checks can be done by anyone at the airport
and has ruined a lot of Sikh families
holidays before they even started
Sikh families? Well
He gets it so wrong
He's a prick
Your dad created a monster
Nobody wants a Steve Martin no more
They want Leslie, he's chopped liver Your dad created a monster Nobody wants a Steve Martin No more They want Leslie
He's chopped liver
Your dad can lick his own elbow
Before jumping from the top turnbuckle
And driving it into your mum's midsection
With the WWE women's belt
Your dad booked himself in
For a smear test
Under a fake alias
And then kicked off at the doctor
For assuming his gender
when they wouldn't
give him one
like fucking Jessica
you know
you know
who's that
oh it's
again another rock
it's not worth
telling you after
your dad doesn't
wash so that
when he does
armpit farts
your dad doesn't
wash so that
when he does
armpit farts
you also get the smell
your dad got jealous of you at the parent teachers meeting because they kept bringing you up instead of talking about him wash so that when he does armpit farts you also get the smell.
Your dad got jealous of you at the parent-teacher's meeting
because they kept bringing you up instead of talking about him.
Happy New Year, cats. Go away.
That's a wrap.
