Hello podcast listeners and viewers.
Thank you very much for joining in another episode
of Sloss and Humphreys on the road.
As always, we do appreciate your support
and your incredibly low standards
for some of the banter that we pass off as humour.
Believe it or not, we are successful comedians.
In this week's episode,
we speak about road rage
and all our different types of road rage.
But we try to be less positive towards i think there's actually some really good self-reflection on toxic masculinity in here and
about how we could better ourselves but that is sandwiched in the middle of toxic masculinity so
it's kind of like putting the cure for cancer in a tumor in a a way. Let's see who wins. We discussed
heaps of other shit on the podcast as we always do
but we're now
it feels less dead air.
Your dad jokes are back.
It's a good episode. They're all
in there. I remember as always
if you like this shit, share us on socials.
We're sharing stuff on Instagram now
and Reels. If you want to share that stuff it will help
more people come to the podcast and then we'll neglect you further uh you can come up to
shows and be like i'm an og and we'll be like you do have some respect but we're
making bank now so just just help us become cooler to you thanks to our success
sloss and humphries on the road muggins and cream, cream and muggins
Straight thuggin', livin' the dream
That's our intro
Fuckin' muggles
Ticklin' the clit inside your head that makes you laugh
They said it can't be done
Are we in the same seats?
That's hack
Oh, 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?
Uh, well, I mean, hello.
Have you been enjoying the summer?
Is that how you're going to start?
I was about to dive in, Gany.
Have you been enjoying the nice weather?
And you were like, um, guys, I've had an epiphany.
Hello.
Yeah, well, I mean, I thought I was going to explain a bunch of things at the top.
And then I was like, the worst place to do.
And here's all the technical updates is probably at the end.
Oh, actually, we've got a live podcast at the Fringe.
And Molly and I was like, could you plug it in the beginning when people are still listening?
Are you seeing people tune out from our banter?
I think they do towards the end because we do say goodbye and then
continue for a
further two to
ten minutes
that's why it was
good to have the
dad jokes
because people
will hang around
for the dad jokes
well guess what
motherfuckers
they're back
did you rate us
I did
yeah sweet
because you went
for a shit
and I was like
we might as well
rate dad jokes
so back to the
point
are you enjoying
your Scottish summer
it's like fucking marmors out there it really is we went down to Portobello So back to the point Are you enjoying your Scottish summer?
It's like fucking Marmaris out there It really is
We went down to Portobello Beach in Edinburgh
Which is the name of a place
Which doesn't sound like it belongs in Edinburgh
That sounds way more exotic than it usually is
Portobello
I'm off to Portobello
It's just every time we go down there
On the beach
You smell weed And you're just like
Right
So this is the fun part
Is it where
Portobello mushrooms are from?
No
Like I can't
I don't know that for certain
But
Definitely not
Probably not
Is that not where you get
Your
Leith
Leith courgettes
No
There's
Your
Morningside potatoes
That does sound right Morningside potatoes Morningside potatoes that does sound right
morningside potatoes
morningside potatoes
does sound right
it's a decent beach
so we took
Caelan down there
because it was hot
and we're like
we'll let you feel
sand for the first time
has he been to the beach before
no it was his first time
did people come and start
putting wet towels on him
that the fuck
just a wee beached whale
you just kept trying to throw him back in
he can't swim yet
he's been practising
he's
he's not beyond the stage but
you realise how
obviously babies are stupid that's not groundbreaking information
especially this one
but in their first 3-4 months
of life their number one form of discovery is mouth.
Everything's discovered.
What's this?
I'll put it in my mouth and that's how I find out what it is.
Because I guess maybe that's...
Is that the oral phase and then the anal phase?
Is this all Freudian linked?
It's like you get stuck in a phase.
What is the anal phase of babies?
Anal.
Like everything's obsessed with
bum
obsessed with
pooping and
pooing
right
so my
confusion
I said
the mouth phase
is when they
discover things
through their mouth
your mind is in the gutter
Daniel
the anal phase
you sexualised
your four month old child
you were suggesting
that the way my son
discovers things
at some point
people are like well I guess I'll shove it up my ass and see what you were suggesting that the way my son discovers things at some point we'll be like
well
I guess I'll shove it up my ass
and see what
yeah that's a dice
yeah that's two of them
20 sided
no so he's discovering
everything
which is obviously a danger
which is why you don't
let them near things
because they go
what's this thing
I'll put it in my mouth
and it's an electrical cable
and they die
or it's a knife
and they just
ram it in their face
but there is now he's sort of he knows what his hands are electrical cable and they die or it's a knife and they just ram it in their face.
But there is now, he knows what his hands are and he knows what his feet are.
Now his feet are nothing other than just, let's also put this in my mouth. It's something else to discover.
Aye.
It's not a tool of discovery.
But if you put his tiny little stupid feet in grass or sand, he touches it with his feet
and you can just see him like not understanding what's
going on because his hand feels it yeah this might feel nothing he's getting a new memo from a
different source a new story and i mean it's just the only thing you can see going on in the mind
is you want there to be some sort of like oh my god he's learning that this is the beach and he's
enjoying being relaxing whereas what's actually going on he's just like how do i get a handful
of that and shove it directly in my fucking mouth i'd let like how do I get a handful of that
and shove it directly
in my fucking mouth
let him find out
the hard way
of that
well I mean
that's what
Cara was obviously
they covered
suntan lotion
and that was
his fucking rank
he's like
how's this a nice day
out for me
you put sunscreen
on his feet
and then you put him
in the sand
and he puts his feet
in the sand
and then you put him
down and you have
your sandwich
and you turn around
and he's just
sucking sand off of his toes and you're your sandwich and you turn around and he's just sucking sand
off of his toes
and you're like
well
if that's what you want man
yeah alright
I mean I guess you'll learn
that sand
I wonder if
he'll have sandy shit
oh will it come
at the other end
or is it so small
that those are
obviously pebbles
if you do a pebble
comes out the other end
but is sand so small
that it's enough
for the stomach to digest
what is it just going to be
when will we find out
what's the
do you know what
the rotation is on
eat the shit
no we can't
because it's not
it just all comes out
let's go and feed him a penny
well
let's go and feed him a penny now
and then we'll start a stopwatch
did you not hear about
our bar crawl the other week
I was away
I was on hold
I was hoping you'd
fill us in on the podcast
obviously we're too busy
talking about me
so go on
now's your time
so obviously
during the lockdowns
we decided to start
doing bar crawls
which was
each guest
each member of the house
would have a room
and you'd have an hour
for it to be
your bar
it could be of anything
it has to involve a drink of some sort it can can involve a game, at least one of them has to involve
food, just because we learned very early doors that if one of these doesn't involve food,
you just end up black and drunk.
There's so much fun but often you never reach the last bar.
You never made your bar on the last bar crawl!
Everyone was dead!
You were dead! You were the one that went to bed!
Nooo, I'm not having were the one that went to bed no
yeah
I'm not having that
you put Carrot to bed
I've put Carrot to bed
on many a bar crawl
but I was awake
to see that
yeah
but your bar still
needed to
take place
anyway
both of you
tapped out
heinous mouths
so we did a bar crawl
last week
and the first one
was
Eric and Jean
was their first one
they've been following
on the socials
so they were excited
to do their one
and they did a really good one
which was a blind
restaurant
sort of thing
like you know those
blind tasting
so like a restaurant
in the dark
but did you just do it
like pitch black
or did you do it
blindfolded
blindfolded
kept it dark
couldn't see anything
but the problem
Eric and Jean
came to
was that
Cara is obviously
the pickiest eater
in the entire world
and if you add
loss of sight to that
she's not going to try
yeah she is not
the best audience
for something as
like
so she
like even stuff
that she liked
she's already going to be
pre-empted
and that it's going to be gross
yeah she doesn't want anything gross in her life so the first one was dough balls which was great this is easy So even stuff that she liked, she's already going to be pre-empting that it's going to be gross. Yeah.
She doesn't want anything gross on her mouth.
So the first one was dough balls, which was great.
This is easy.
I know what dough balls are.
So they're reading the room.
They're like, all right, we're not going to get straight in with some fucking anchovies or something like that.
Yeah.
They were good.
If Cara hadn't been there, they probably would have gone further out.
But Cara just wouldn't have done the things.
And they were like, let's.
So it was like, what they called it was a mouth of a doorbell
just like oh my god
oh it's gonna be close
oh it's spiders
yeah
well I mean I guess
yeah
we wanted to just make sure
because she's the one
she's the smallest
she has to eat
so you have to make sure
the food's edible
and they still fucked up
because they were like
what is Cara like
and like just think of
the most basic things
in the world
a child
chicken dinosaurs
yep
smiley faces chicken drumsticks um just what does Cara like? And I'm like, just think of the most basic things in the world. A child. Chicken dinosaurs. Yep.
Smiley faces.
Chicken drumsticks.
Just beans on toast,
that sort of stuff.
And they're like,
does she like macaroni and cheese?
And I'm like,
she loves macaroni and cheese.
And they're like,
why else?
I'm like,
she loves spicy food.
So,
got my blindfold on,
put my fork down,
put it in my mouth.
And,
I couldn't understand their logic,
but, they put Tabasco sauce in macaroni and uh i couldn't understand their logic but they put tabasco
sauce in macaroni and cheese oh okay right so i enjoyed it i thought it was really really nice
cara was like what the fuck have you done and they were like we put two and two together and
it's like and you made seven i actually wasn't a fan of that no oh well i think that would be
all right it was good but like also you'd be all right if you know what's coming.
Yeah, yeah.
I managed to scoff all.
Everyone else managed to eat it.
We're fine.
We moved on to the next bar, which was a 90s children's birthday party.
So, pass the parcel, slushy vodka drinks.
Yeah.
We played...
Seven Minutes in Heaven.
We played
Musical pillows
Which is like musical chairs
But there's a pillow
Pillows in the middle
And you've just got to be
The one that ends up
With a pillow
There's less pillows
Than there are people
When the music's off
Get one
Spin the bottle
One of our friends
Who is
Of the pregnant variety
Oh
She
Or he
Is Or he Or they
Or they
Oh fuck these
Fuck I forgot about these
What fuck these
Yeah fuck them
You know what fuck them
That was a bit I used to do
On Twitch for ages
Which was like
Hello ladies and gentlemen
Or both
Never neither
Never neither
It's just like
That's the one line
In the staff I draw
If I go
Hey or she
Probably hey
Or is it mumble, probably hey.
Playing with a pregnant woman,
she stayed in that game too long.
Like, there was points where it was friendly at first,
and then it got down to three toxic men and a pregnant woman,
and we had to be like, you have to...
And hold on, what were the rules of the game?
So you all walk around a big circle,
around a pile of pillows.
There's seven of you.
There's six pillows.
Music stops.
Grab a pillow.
Person without a pillow, you're out of the fucking game.
Yeah.
We get down to four.
Three toxic men, one pregnant lady.
And all the toxic men are being like, our toxicity won't stop me.
You've still got a tooth missing from the sock game.
And you're like, you want to go toe toto-toe with me all right so we just had
to like three men move her out of the game because we're like the next round is going to be is it
going to involve punches and kicks you have to leave and not from your insight um then we moved
on to me and cara's bar now cara says i took it too far and I changed the rules before we went in.
We did it in Caelan's room.
And the original idea was everyone comes up in their capos and they draw a bit of paper.
And you either end up being the parent or the baby.
And if you're a baby, you have to put big adult diapers on above your clothes.
And you're not allowed to drink anything.
And you're not allowed to drink anything and you're not to give yourself any juice but what there is the parents have is a bottle of either like Kahlua, Baileys, Pina Colada
and if you want booze you have to cry you have to cry imagine at that moment someone doxxed you
imagine in that moment the police police just busted and just saw you
and you're happy going, well.
Well, well.
You just go, aye.
Lock us up.
Chuck away the key.
So that was the original plan until when I was, when we got there,
everyone that was there, I looked at all the boys involved
and I was like, I know all these blokes and every one of them will commit to the bet if i leave the charge i just got i'm like
just make it the boys so to the boys upstairs i was like we're all babies get your clothes off
and they fully got down to their underwear we put the uh adult diapers on and then the parents come
into the room we're all crying there and we just look
like giant babies and we all laugh for about two minutes and then 45 minutes in we're literally
four grown men crying fake it till you make it oh you're like actually you're simulating tears at
first by the end you really were hungry yeah yeah oh yeah and it got and we felt uncomfortable
there's times we're like this is like actually oh yeah and it got we felt uncomfortable there were times where we were like
this is like
actually people's
fetishes that we're doing
like at one point
it was like
at the start it was like
this is going to be
a fun bar to do
and then by the end of it
it was like
well we just wanted it
to be like an innocent
toe sucking bar
and then some people
got really into it
Cullen's ankle deep
did he actually shit his self he's actually had him getting changed well so the fact Cullen's ankle deep did he actually
shit his self
he's actually had him
getting changed
well
Cullen's got his
willy out
Cullen's got his
willy out
scream and shout
scream and shout
Cullen's got his
willy out
I mean if Cullen
did have his willy out
you would have to
scream and shout
scream shout run
the final game
in ours was
we had five
nappies that I filled
with different types
of chocolate pudding
and different chocolate buttons and mini curly whirlies and stuff
and then put a penny in one of them.
And we're like, look, one of the babies has swallowed a penny.
You've got to find it.
So we went through.
By the end of that bar, we were...
Shit-faced.
Shit-faced because we were so ashamed.
Like the men, the babies definitely came out of it more drunk.
We toddled our way downstairs.
Well, the mums just tutting,
just sharing advice.
Oh, so for the mums,
obviously we had,
we just had like standard glasses of wine
and we were just like,
and you've just,
every time you drink,
you have to say it's five o'clock somewhere.
Called it mummy juice.
And then the final bar
was
a chocolate bar
chocolate bar
so chocolate
like a pairing
with
with like
cocktail chocolates
that was like
we had to guess
what the cocktail
was
ah
like gourmet chocolates
yeah
and was it
was that not one
I feel like that's one
that you should have done
early doors
when you had a bit more
of a sophisticated palate.
Yes.
The rule is, like, drink the expensive whiskey at the start of the night
and pull the cheap stuff at the end.
It sounds like...
Yeah.
Look, I like a good creamy drink every now and then.
Did you just self-promote?
Did you just look dead into the camera and go, cream drink?
I like a mugginsy drink, personally.
Yeah, yeah. But drink muggins responsibly drink muggins under the table if you know what i mean it's very easy actually
well i like i like a creamy drink as much as the next patreon listener
am i in the truman show i feel. Am I in the Truman Show?
I feel like I'm in the Truman Show.
But if you've just come from a bar
where all you've drank is pina colada from a bottle
and then your 20th drink of the night,
they're like, here's a really creamy drink.
You're like, I don't...
I'm curdling.
I can feel my insides making cheese right now.
And it's... I remember in aides Making cheese right now And it's
I remember
You know Rick
It's in Convery
You know Convery
Right so
Those two
My friends
Went and got high with them
After a gig
I think he'd went home
It was one of the last gigs
Of the tour
In like 2011 or something
Remember you went back
With your parents
Oh yeah
It was Darlington
Darlington
And the backstage Was fucking disgusting That was the end of Our second ever 65 day tour I'm assuming you went back with your parents. Oh, yeah. It was Darlington. Darlington, hi. Darlington.
And the backstage was fucking disgusting.
That was the end of our second ever 65-day tour.
But it was all in a row.
And not as emotionally done as we've been in more recent tours. Oh, no, but at the time, back then, that was baby steps compared to what we've done.
But at the time, we had nothing to compare to.
It was tough for them.
It was tough for them.
And at the end, right, I went back and got high with those two, right?
And then there's like, while we're stoned, got the munchies,
Convery just has this epiphany where he's just like,
I've been to the sweet shop.
You've been to some fucking sweet shop and you've got like an actual fucking,
you know, and you get the actual full thing of your sweets.
You know what it was?
It was that chocolate dust.
Oh!
Right?
And we're just there,
just fucking handfuls of chocolate dust,
right?
And then Rick was like,
you know what,
can I class with this?
A glass of milk,
right?
We're drinking milk
and eating chocolate dust,
right?
And after about an hour,
and then what,
fucking Santa turned up
and was like,
what the fuck is going on here?
And right after an hour,
we're bloated the fuck.
We're just there,
our tummies were like fucking swollen out,
the fray away.
We're just like,
the night was over.
We're like, look at the fray,
we've got dicky tummies.
We just stood up,
because we couldn't sit down.
We're like, fucking necks are hurting and that.
We're like, I've got a dicky tummy.
So what you're saying is,
what you could have done with that point
is perhaps a parental figure to burp you. So what you were saying is What you could have done With that point Is perhaps
A parental figure
To burp you
Oh that's what
Pick you up
Pat you back
A little bit
That's it
Them moments where like
I just need Natalie to run
Going
You didn't want to do that
I know you think it's fun
Because your friends are saying
It's going to be fun
But
Like I'm out of here
Going fucking hell
Going cracking the whip
But like
If she's not there I'm just there with a dicky tummy i'm throwing me nights ruined
i always like the if there's any times that i get like particularly stoned in the evening like me
and colorist end up playing some fifa and i've just not eaten properly during the day and my
body just goes you're starving and all i do is just eat fucking sweets and fucking leftover
and you get really you just eat so much and fucking leftovers. And you get really,
you just eat so much because whatever happens when you're stoned,
your body just is like,
there's heaps more room.
Keep going.
Like, I'll move your heart out of the way.
Trust me,
this is how much you want Tangfastics.
You know what it is?
It's like the first time you've got your own money
and your parents don't own you
and you're like,
what, I can have seven Snickers?
You're in the shop and you're like,
hold on a minute. I've got my own money, my parents own here, I can have seven snickers you're in the shop and you can't hold on a minute i've got my
own money my parents aren't here i can have seven snickers and then you have seven snickers and you
can't there's a reason there's a reason we just have one okay you go back to the sweet shop you're
like why did you sell me seven snickers it was your fucking problem i'm gonna tell me ma
it's always the it's not
you wake up the next day
and you're like
I'm still full
like if you wake up
after nine hours
of a stoned sleep
and you wake up
and you're like
I don't need breakfast
that's a bad sign
of how much you've eaten
and then the
twelve or one o'clock shit
where it's just
real
I just sometimes like
you don't know
what this is going to be like
sometimes like normally you can tell by how your stomach feels what the poo is going to be like sometimes I just sometimes like, you don't know what this is going to be like. Sometimes I can't, so normally
you can tell by how your stomach feels what the poo is
going to be like. Sometimes I'm just like, mate,
the wheel is spinning there and when I pull
the re-trues, it's going to stop on something.
It's going to be solid to the point
it hurts. Or like runny to the point
it feels solid again. You ever get
there where they're runny but you still have to push it out like
it's a rock?
Like it comes out like a poo water
balloon and it bursts just in the way.
No, it sounds like you have polyps that are bursting
inside of your arseholes.
Yeah.
Were you ever part of the game
that me and Gene used to play when we lived
together which was
Poo Psychic?
No.
It sounds like something I would have liked. together which was Poo Psychic Doh? Right so what you
It sounds like something I would have liked
I can't believe you kept it from us
You're like don't tell Kyle
ruin it
It's such a wholesome game and you somehow make it
gross. Well it's not wholesome at all
Yeah yeah unless it's
asshole some
Bad that you
can hear the airplane
on the dead air
that was tumbleweed
that's this
version
this podcast version
of tumbleweed
if you can hear
if you can hear the aircraft
go by
so who's
oh that's
hold on
just
if you're doing a gig
and you can hear
the fridges behind the bar
oh
now you're having a bad gig
if you ever
at your gig
have to tell the bar staff
to shut up
sure they are being rude
but
god it sucks to hear them
guys can you stop talking
you're being louder
than the laughing
that sounds like
a you problem
motherfucker
poo psychic
this game you can play
with yourself
or a friend
that you like
you need a poo
right
in your head you go what do I think this is going to be?
How many parts is it coming out of?
Is it solid?
Is it going to be a long one?
So you pre-empt it.
You pre-empt it.
You guess from your stomach's feeling, and then you go in, and then you do it.
And it's not gross.
You don't take pictures of anything like that.
You have to prove, but you have to be very honest with you.
You could go like, great, I'm about to go in.
I know what I've had to eat. I think it's going to be one of these could go like great I'm about to go in I know what I've had to eat I think it's going to be
one of these ones
I think I'm going to go in
it's going to be solid
it's going to come out
in a one-er
it's not going to snap
but you're not even going
to have to pinch it off
it'll fall off itself
you'll wipe
there'll be
a carcer wipe
a carcer wipe
like it's just
there's going to be
next to nothing on it
if any
right you'll go back
for another one
just because you didn't
believe your own eyes
and then
a little cat poo comes out
a tiny little wet cat poo comes out tiny little wet
cat poo comes out
that takes forever
to wipe
it's like wiping
an ink pad
okay
Paul Perry
a great Scottish
comic used to
have a line
which is just
like you know
when you're just
wiping and it's
like wiping a
felt tip pen
you're like
for fuck's sake
man when's it
gonna run out
that's when I
invented the
ass diaper
where you just
fucking give up
after a few
wedges up there
and go fuck it
wedges up
pants up
deal with you later
fucking
I nearly caught
myself short
I did that
in altitude
what
ass tamponed
ass tamponed
and then fucking
went to the
naked sauna
oh Jesus Christ
luckily I went for a shower first
because like
you didn't notice
the giant wad of
I did when I had a shower
I was like
fucking hell
it's a good job
I didn't just fucking lie
doing another lounge
with that up
to go to a shower
I just didn't
just got
cock a leg
in the steam room
with big fucking
wad of tissue
just like a fucking
pom pom shoved up my arse
just like a
a cheerleader
overstepping the line
just jumping into
jumping into the pool
your body not coming back up
your
trousers not coming up
but just a
poo covered tampon
just
so anyway
to get back off poos
and get back on
stoned munchies
I think I've mentioned
this life hack
I'll call it a life hack
on the podcast before
right
but we've got new listeners
I don't think I've said it in a while
I was making a bowl of cereal
right
a bowl of Weetabix
and I went and got some
that's already
I wouldn't
I know it's technically cereal
but Weetabix isn't when I think some That's already I wouldn't I know it's technically cereal But Weetabix isn't
When I think cereal
I think Frosties
Coco Pops
Lucky Charms
Not this
It's like people be like
I'm having some cereal
Porridge
You're having a sad
Oaty breakfast
And that's fine
You're an adult
It's in the same family
As shredded wheat
Yeah
Yeah
Frosted Shreddies though
Shreddies are nice
Shreddies are nice
I used to always
Just put sugar over everything.
It feels like it defeats the point.
Like, here's your fucking wholesome breakfast.
And I'd put all the sugar on it.
If there's not at least an inch of, like, fresh snow sugar on top of your Weetabix,
then I'm going to assume you're older than I am.
Yeah.
Like, I haven't had cereal in a while because I kind of clocked on
to the disadvantages
of eating sugar all the time.
And I was like,
well, cereal's off the menu then.
Because I'm not going to have it
without sugar.
It's mad that they're just like,
what do you want for breakfast?
And it's like a bowl of sugar.
I understand the logic of it,
but the fact that that's the go to
or you've just got
to cook shit up
so I was making
wheat abix
do you ever have
hot wheat abix
where you put
like hot water in
and a bit of milk
to top it up
and it goes
a completely
different texture
it's like a hot dish
lush with a ton
of sugar on
it's porridge
pretty much
so I went
and got the milk
and there's
barely any milk
left like a little barely any milk left
Like a little drizzle of milk left in
And I was like
I'm not just going to have fucking
Hot water on me
Cereal like a fucking pov
I was like
I had my own house at the time
I wasn't going to regress
I made a cup of tea
And poured the cup of tea
How are the fucking
Wheat abics
This sounds like
One of those stories
That you hear footballers
Telling when they're like
I know
Have a bit of banana
I knew I was
When I was young
We could barely make
Ed's wheat
I remember I used to
Have to eat
Weetabix and tea
And you're like
Oh god
Things have changed for him
I'm so glad to hear that
So aye
That was
You know what
Wouldn't it all go well
With coffee
It may day aye
Try it
We'll try it after this
I feel like if you mix
Coffee with Weetabix You're just loading Your asshole With a 12 gauge Shotgun with coffee? It made day, aye. Try it. We'll try it after this. I feel like if you mix coffee
with Weetabix,
you're just loading your asshole
with a 12-gauge shotgun.
All you're doing is
you're like,
I want to shit
something solid
in 45 minutes.
Pour coffee on your Weetabix.
Yeah.
It's fucking gunpowder
and then the...
And just a heavy,
like, not a real bullet, but like one of the ones they use at riots or in prisons to just when it's fucking gunpowder and then... And just a heavy, like, not a real bullet,
but, like, one of the ones they use at riots or in prisons
to just, when it's essentially a beanbag fired at high velocity to brew,
that's what you're doing to your body.
Definitely.
Riot bullets.
I've totally changed the whole fucking...
My whole breakfast game's changed since,
because it used to either be,
I used to always just think cereal or toast,
and that was either it,
that was the two options for breakfast,
but now fucking,
I'm gourmet for breakfast now,
making all kinds of shit.
You should see this,
scrambled egg.
Pancakes.
Scrambled egg.
Fried egg.
I'm mad mate
I always have salmon
I like a
for me it's
smoothie for breakfast
and you just put everything in it
and you're like
that feels
like I'm getting all my nutrients
doing the hatch
we would have to chew
if you can get your
if you can get your five a day
into your first fucking meal of the day
cracking
real good
I just
I always realised
like
I'm
getting so into the realm
of middle class now
that I sat drinking prosecco
watching Wimbledon
in the garden yesterday
that's where I'm at now
I got the telly right up
to the patio doors
if I could if I had a time machine
I'd go back in time
Get 23 year old you
I'd sit there with a bit of fruit
And be Prosecco
Get a frozen strawberry
A bag of frozen fruit
To make combo with
To put on your blueberry french toast
I don't think with a straight face You're allowed to ask for any Patreon frozen fruit to make combo with to put on your blueberry French toast and whatnot.
I don't think with a straight face you're allowed to ask for any Patreon listeners
at the end of this episode.
Do you know they have their bags of frozen fruit?
Yeah, from the smoothie.
So that when you're making your French toast,
you can put a bit of maple syrup on in the pan
and you can pour it on top.
There's a nice little topping
instead of a spoonful of sugar.
Don't do that.
I tell you what, I'm mad as fuck on breakfast, mate.
You shouldn't see me bouncing to bed now
and then I'm going to
treat myself
it's called self love Daniel
so anyway
Natalie must watch you
make breakfast
she's so fucking chuffed
with herself
the way she's got it
I imagine she is
and then whenever you
have sex with her
she's always like
oh okay
so he's still on this side
do you know what's so funny
the fact like
I'm there,
like, people who have listened
to the last couple of podcasts
where I've been slagging off, like,
Matty and that for driving automatics,
going, up Royal Spirit's energy.
Yeah, exactly.
You know what I mean?
Hold your nose when you're jumping
at the pool energy.
Yeah.
And I'm, like, I'm texting them
with this kind of banter, right,
fucking sat watching Wimbledon
with my legs crossed,
with a straw pre and me,
telling me Carver Po telling me shut the fuck up
I'm trying to watch the tennis
and I'm texting them
going
you're not men
none of you are men
so what you've
come to the conclusion there
is that
most
of
males
toxic energy
comes from
projecting
their own
insecurities onto...
Aye.
Most all of it.
100% of it.
Just you sitting out in your back garden with your little designer dog that has anxiety,
drinking your...
She's got bluster.
She's got bravado.
She's got fluster.
That's what she's fucking got.
She's got too much confidence. got bravado She's got fluster That's what she's fucking got Nah She's got too much
She's got too much confidence
Right
Who'd win in a
Who'd win in a fight
Your dog or three leaves
On a windy day
She would
She would be like
Come on then leaves
Come on what you got
Bring your
Bring your mates
She's nailed
So you're there
Justifying
Your designer dog
Being as toxic as you
Right
Doing all this
Watching the outsides
In your posh end
Of Glasgow flat
With your braces in
So you can have
New designer fucking teeth
Right
Not braces
There's not
Let's get these light
It's like
Let's get these perfect
Right
And then when you're
Closed patio door
You catch a glimpse of yourself
Wearing your wife's sunglasses
And you go
I better call my EK And then when you're closed patio door, you catch a glimpse of yourself wearing your wife's sunglasses and you go,
I better call Matty gay.
And Matty's just at home, his designer dog with anxiety.
He's automatically excited.
He's got it on charge.
He's swimming hat on because he's about to have a bath.
He gets a text from you. You call him and he's got it on charge he's swimming because he's about to have a bath he gets a text from you
and you call him
and he's like
oh right
so that's what it is
that does make sense
now whenever I attack
one of my friends
I am going to
take a
before I do
I'll still do it
I'll take a brief moment
to look at the scenario
I'm like
does this
have any reason
to do
why I suddenly
want to violently verbally attack my friends?
Yeah, it does.
You've got toe separators and you're in the jacuzzi.
Fair enough, actually.
That's good life.
Yeah.
How awesome.
I knew I was meant to try.
Hi.
I've always sneered at the middle class,
but I do love my indulgences.
It's meant.
It's allowed.
I think, you there's I certainly
experience
a lot of
I imagine you do too
considering how you were
raised
you get this weird
sort of
guilt
occasionally
oh aye
aye
anything
anything that's a cue
jumper
anything that's like
I'm better than you
I still dare
yeah aye
but you do it
knowing that well when that wasn't you you were like I fucking hate than you, I still date. Yeah, aye. But you do it knowing that, well, when that wasn't you,
you were like, I fucking hate that cunt.
Aye, them cunts.
Which was me.
They think they're better than me, do they, by being better?
What is it about them being better than me
that makes them think they're better than this?
Smile me, I see.
Do you want fucking chinned?
I'll prove a point.
Maybe your point, but...
I've discovered
something about myself
not like
like
I've been having
road rage
right
but without the rage
have I talked to you
about this recently
you've been having road
I've been having
really cold
blooded road rage
my heart rate
isn't up
I'm not even angry
and I'm starting
fights with people through the window and it's happened like blooded road rage my heart rate isn't up I'm not even angry and I'm starting fights
with people through the window
and it's happened like
multiple times
the last couple of months
where like
last time I done the podcast
yeah
were you right
you know the box junction
coming at your estate
where it's a fucking bastard
to turn right
but like
it's a box junction
so people stop
and you can creep into
the box junction
wait for your turn
and go and write
somebody had pulled all the way to the front of, wait for your turn and go and ride.
Somebody had pulled all the way to the front of that so I couldn't get out.
And it was fucking rush hour ride.
And I'm like, I should be trying to turn right here.
But the guy that was waiting behind her
was at the edge of the box junction.
And all I needed was her to move off the box junction
when the lights go so I could pull out and move, right.
And we both sat there for about fucking three minutes.
And he'd spotted us
that i was going to do that right and then as soon as the traffic started to move he just
sped up bumper to bumper blocked that place and i'm looking through the window going i could kill
you he's not moving anywhere i was like i could kill you you know if i wanted to if i felt like
it like he would be dead right he's like this 22 year old kid who thought he was being cocky
he's last in the car
and all that right
pulled up right
I fucking
I went run the back of him
and pulled up next to him
and I was sent
the fucking confidence on you
I was like
that's going to get
knocked out of you
that if you keep acting like that
I'm fucking tired
through the window
but none of
how's he react to this
he's looking fucking straightforward
he's not even
he's like glancing
he's like
has he gone away yet
has he gone
I'm not right I'm not even angry at the glancing he's like has he gone away yet has he gone I'm not
right I'm not even angry
at the time
I'm like
and that's been multiple times
there's one where
someone fucking
sped up behind us
it's like I pulled in
for an ambulance
right on the dual carriageway
ambulance kept going
I pulled back out
someone was trying to
fucking ghost the ambulance
out of the way back
and he sped up my arse
and flash and tooted the horn
so I speeded down to 50
I'm just doing 50 in the fucking fast lane and I just ended up like there's no flashing tooted the horn so I speed doomed to 50 I'm just doing 50
in the fucking fast lane
and I just ended up like
there's no one in front of us
for miles
because I'm doing 50
and I'm just like
oh on my shoulder
just going
fucking
I'll kill you
and I said
what's got into us
I don't know
what's got into us
but I just
it sounds like
you need the confidence
knocked out of you
I know
it really sounds like
one of these times
I hope you end up picking like,
there's like a fucking punch buggy,
pink goes past you,
goes up your ass and you're like,
I'm going to fucking do this cunt.
You go, you yell through the window
and then just an MMA fighter comes out
and you're like,
good fight, finally.
Finally a match.
Kai Humphrey's been stuffed into the exhaust of his own car today.
Oh, man, I just get some weird kick out of it
where somebody's just, like, using their car as a shield to act hard.
Yeah.
And then you just let them know that, like, it might escalate into trouble.
I am the opposite of that.
I have, I think, realised I would get road-raged
and I would get aggressive and yell at people,
but I would never do it in America.
Like,
you can cut me off in America
and I'm like,
have a great day.
Ah, yeah.
Bye-bye.
I'm like,
sorry for pulling out there, mate.
On you go.
Yeah, you must,
something must be going on, hey.
I hope everything's alright at home.
Fucking thanks for,
you know,
making me slam on the brakes.
That was dead nice of you.
Aye, but you know what would actually happen
if you live in America?
Yeah.
You know what would actually happen?
You'd get a gun
and you'd be like
do you want to go
and fight your stupid gun
do you want to shoot
at each other
and see who wins
well
so
I suddenly
took two things
I took a look
at my own logic
which was right
the reason I don't
do it in America
is because I'm scared
of being shot
as if
in the UK
people also
couldn't kill me
with what they have
to hand.
Like I'm not a fighter.
If I get into an argument with it,
any of these cards on a wrong day,
bad day could come out and just decide to kick my fucking head in.
And I've learned a lesson.
And the other factor that came into it,
because it was about a couple of months ago,
I've got Caelan in the car, right?
Cara's in the passenger seat.
And just this, I'm on a dual carriageway,
I'm following a car and just
I've left
three car lengths
the amount that's meant to be
in that fucking speed
enough to make the light
go on off your dash
yeah
there's a light that goes
you're too close to the car in front
you're like it's daily heating
I'll hang back
somebody fucking
she just
no indication
just straight fucking
then they have to slam on the brakes
and then not only slam on the brakes
speed up
so I don't get fucking
rear ended by the car,
that's behind me,
thankfully,
because there's a Tesla,
and it's,
it's all fucking fine,
height and fucking sense,
I've got my kid in the car,
it's the first long drive we've done,
I'm fucking raging,
and I'm just like,
I literally,
follow the car,
up the road,
and I'm just,
and whenever they change lane,
I change lane,
I'm like,
I'm just gonna,
I wanna see who you are,
like,
I want you to fucking see.
Putting your family at risk.
Well,
I,
so at one point,
Cara just,
Cara just mumbles under her breath.
She's just like,
fucking pathetic.
And it was so cutting.
Crushing.
Oh,
because then,
because normally,
if I'm in the car with you
and I'm yelling about what I'm going to do,
you're yelling what I'm going to do
we're just in an echo chamber
of like fine
this is how we're getting
our anger out
I'm going to yell angrily
you're going to agree
with me angrily
and all the things
I want to do to that person
we've just said it in the car
and I've relieved the stress
that doesn't happen with Cara
she's just like
I'm not joining in
you're a sad toxic partner
what a stupid
like you shouldn't engage
with any of them things
I shouldn't
and even though in my head I'm like I don with any of them things I shouldn't and even though
in my head
I'm like
I don't have anger issues
because I wasn't angry
I didn't feel angry
that's worrying
that's worrying
that's like
I'm not going to get sunburned
it's windy
I can't feel the sun
on my skin
so I'm going to be fine
you're just going
I'm not scared
of getting into
a fight or altercation
with that other person
that is something
that you should have
a healthy fear of
and it's not even
just so you avoid it
you know what
it's sometimes not even like
I'm not scared of
it's like
I kind of want it
I kind of want this cunt
to fucking step up
in a way
out of now
like that's
that's troubling
that's something
that needs addressing
well because also like
worst case scenario
or best case scenario
depending on how you look at it
this cunt gets out of the car,
you get out of the car, you knock him out.
Congratulations, you've done a crime.
Oh, yeah.
You're on the run now.
You're on the run now.
Loads of witnesses.
Yeah, heaps.
You held up traffic.
You did dash cams.
You did it on traffic lights.
Yeah, there's a need for it now.
People clapped and they felt on your side of the time.
And also, the way I've watched so many...
One of the Reddits i follow is just like people
just fights people street fights getting fucking knocked out man the amount of people they just
fall down and hit their head on a curb oh yeah congratulations congratulations you're now a
murderer because you didn't contain your anger because you didn't just fucking you know be
saying i'm not a murderer that's manslaughter yo done, you slaughtered a man. You've made it sound worse.
You slaughtered him.
You just slaughtered him.
Manslaughter is...
Because that's what it is.
Your reckless decision
ended the life of a person.
But it does sound heaps worse than...
But you know what does it for me
with them little moments in vehicles, right?
When it's somebody that can see you need to be out and then actively closes the gap so you can't be out even though
even though it's not going to change their journey any or the person that's like fucking
slipstreaming behind an ambulance and then gets fucking angry that anybody else dare fucking use
both lanes right like i always look at that's like that's just one sign
of a terrible human
and I always write them off
as scum of the earth
the minute they say
something scummy
I'm like
oh this is a
I fund a real scummy cunt
and I just want them
to be scared
even if just like
even if I just send them away
with their hands trembling
I've just scared scum
and I just feel like
it's a fucking moral duty
and I need to stop
doing it yeah good i'm glad you're right
this is a part of the podcast where we just need a chaise long where you just take my
car on the corner on the chaise long attack you through this is here's here's a driving
ethical question for you how on a scale of one to absolute country, how bad is this?
You're on a dual carriageway.
It's traffic. It's moving,
but it's not moving fast. Let's say 15,
20 mile an hour, more or less.
Up there,
you can pull off, you can go on the southern motorway,
or you can pull off,
go through the roundabout, and join the same
dual carriageway, 20 cars ahead.
You say I have local knowledge and you used it.
I agree.
That is local knowledge.
On the way to the stag do, Ali was driving.
It was me, my dad, and I think one of my brothers in the,
oh no, maybe it wasn't one I used to, in the car.
And that exact scenario happened before the fourth road bridge
which was Ali within this traffic
and my dad went
Ali went to say something and my dad went to say something
and they were both coming out from the opposite end
my dad was like just go down the thing and go across
the roundabout and Ali was like you see these
fucking cunts who go down here across the thing
I hate those cunts and I was like
ooooh
I mean I'm definitely on my dad's side
it's not cheating
and there's always the risk that if enough people did that
I'd end up in worse traffic there and that would be the price
I'd fucking pay
I don't feel like it's personally
affronting one person
you're not just cutting off one person
I agree with you
but what is the difference then
between that
and
400 yards down the road
we know this three lanes turns into a two lane
everyone knows that the signs are fucking there
and 400 metres
before this we've all pulled into that lane
and somebody's going down there
you could argue that that's local
knowledge of the know where it
I think the answer to this is
I'll be the one that fucking guns out into the right lane
because I can see what's happening.
And then I'll be the one that's annoyed
at the people that are undertaking.
But I think the correct thing to do
is everybody fill both lanes and merge in turn.
I think the correct and fastest way
to deal with that trouble
is to just fill both lanes, merge in turn.
So the ones that are whizzing by should be going,
you should all be doing this.
I'm not the dickhead here. These are just stupid. planes merge and turn. So the ones that are whizzing by should be going, you should all be doing this. Yeah.
I'm not the dickhead here.
These are just stupid.
These are all like joining
this single file queue
that's going to go on forever
when it can be a double file queue
that's going to be squatter.
Ah, but he...
But he has a one
that is a version of what you did,
but like a bit more intrusive.
In Blythe, right,
if you come off the spine road,
the A189, right,
I'm just saying these
because some local people
don't get it, right,
and you're at the Asda roundabout,
you're queuing the left lane
to go straight on
and you're queuing the right lane
to turn into Asda.
The queue in the left lane
is way longer.
But what you can do
is do a full 360.
I'm a big fan of the full roundabout.
I'm a big fan of the full roundabout.
It's within the floor. Oh, I made a mistake. Oh, I didn't know fan of the full roundabout it's within the floor
oh I made a mistake
oh I didn't know
that was the exit
but like
but it's
it's how
it's like a stabbing
it's how personal it is
because you're going around
and then you merge
with the person
you're fucked over
and you're looking
through the window
again
hey mate
and it's such a small town
that you probably
know the cunt
who you're stabbing
in the back
you're probably there going alright you you're stabbing in the back.
You're probably there going,
all right, you're going to be at the pub, aren't you?
I hope you're the designated driver because you seem a lot more responsible than me.
So you're a fan of that?
It's one of my hypocrisies.
If I were to see somebody else do it,
I'm like, you fucking wanker.
But the second I decide to do it,
I'm like, I'm just, I the second I decide to do it I'm like I'm just
I exist
on a higher level
of understanding
and consciousness
and decision
not above the law
but above the etiquette
yeah
you think you can turn up
to the golf course
in your joggies
in your jeans
I mean you can to some of them
above etiquette
so should we acknowledge
the two cunts in the room
ah yeah we're going to cream here
what's up with your brothers
well so we've said for so long
that we're going to slowly be
increasing the
quality of this podcast and what we meant
by that is everything that should be quality we're now
outsourcing to
my brothers to do
well to hopefully fucking set in
and end up being like the producers
and to help it just so we do less editing
and because they're more savvy technology-wise than we are.
We're basically just copying every other podcast.
You know how every other podcast has that one cunt
that they occasionally cut to
when they don't know something?
The Brian Redban.
Yeah.
Remember the original Joe Rogan podcast
that was the Brian Redban?
Oh, well, I think the guy's name
is Jamie or something.
Who now?
I don't know,
I haven't listened to him
in a while,
but they've got to be there
like Googling stuff and that.
Fact checking way.
And also,
Jack is a listener
of the podcast
and has been for ages
and one of his pet peeves
of the podcast
is how many times
we start a story,
go off topic
and then never get back
to that story.
And so he's now going
to be in the room to go
oi dickhead, so this is what you were fucking talking
about. So,
next couple of months should be good.
We've got the extra
camera. You're not watching it now, but
it's ordered. It's on the way.
But just as a thank you to all the fucking
regular listeners, even if you don't fucking pay for the
Patreon, thank you
for pushing us to get to a level where we're taken up.
And also, obviously, thank you to the Patreons
for giving us the money that means that is possible.
I promise I'll stop spending it on weed, kind of.
And we'll be able to invest way more by the time we've had your stag do.
Yeah.
Because they are basically powering your stag do.
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah
which is a
we're really grateful for that
thanks for
we've just been dead
we've just been dead honest
about how we're spending the money
hey look we bought another camera
and it was quite expensive
there you go
and the stag do
is for my mental health
it's too good right now
I'm working
I'm working away
as though I can tax deduct it
I'm like
is there any way
is there any way I can dodge tax?
You know how it is, the fucking, the Tory government,
I fucking encourage tax dodging with the Tory government.
I fucking, I watch them.
You don't mean tax dodging.
You mean expenses.
Pays little fucking taxes you can legally.
Yes.
Right, because I always fucking look at them,
the way, like, everything that's happening on the telly now, they're all fucking arguing and infighting and they're all still getting paid
out of our money and when they start giving contracts to their mates for like ppe or even
for the fucking food i look at that and going why the fuck would i want to put money on that
partly and if it was a socialist government you'd be fucking like you'd wear your tax payment with
a badge of honor no well i mean i
agree i pay horrific amounts of tax i can't even imagine because i just did my tax thing recently
and it's like it was like i gasped yeah right but then i just like when danny's must be brutal
yeah yeah i mean it's like there's a you get to a certain threshold where every money every bit of
money you earn after that is taxed at 50%, sometimes a bit more.
That's one thing they don't teach you in school, you know.
If you want to become a millionaire, you have to make two million.
Yeah.
They don't tell you that?
Aye.
But as annoying as it is to watch half of, or sometimes almost half of your fucking wages going out,
the thing I've always stood by is that is how it should work.
I earn more yeah
so i should absolutely pay more tax that makes so much i totally agree like i think the more you
make the more money should be taxed until eventually it gets to 100 when you're a billionaire
yeah in a way you're like not not like 100 of the first billion but everything after that you
don't need that much money you don't nobody nobody needs more and there's definitely
lesser numbers than this
but I'm going to say
nobody needs more
than five million pounds
there's nobody
I don't have that
right
but I'm below that
and I already
don't need
but I would
I would really begrudge
if there was a person
making five million
and then they had to give
every penny after that
to the Tory government,
I'd be like, oh no, can he not just keep it?
He may do better good with it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He may do, he may do.
It's knowing that your tax isn't going in
to pay for the fucking roads and schools.
Even before I had kids,
you always had these fucking people being like,
what, so you're fine with, you know,
paying tax for schools that you're never going to use?
Yes.
Like, 100%.
Aye.
Absolutely, because I don't want
but could more of the money go into that
I don't want my country to be filled with thick
cunts like you who come up with arguments
like that, like man if I didn't have a car
I'd still happily pay road tax
because I don't like people being in car crashes
and dying, even though I don't
benefit directly from what I'm caught with
you're still going to use the buses and taxis
and you will use the roads in your own way.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think it's like you want to make a contribution to society
and the more you make, the more you can make.
It should be prestigious to pay higher taxes.
It should be like, I always say,
it should be like in Call of Duty
when you've levelled up to the top level
and then it gets to prestige rating.
I think it should be like once you've earned your first,
whatever the cap is, half a bill.
Even if it's an astronomical amount of money,
like a billion, right?
Every penny after that goes towards your prestige rating
and then there's just this fucking top 100 contributors
to the society.
And you like people who instead of chasing wealth,
chase prestige and try to just be the number one guy,
the hall of famer that's fucking
made the biggest contribution
to the rest of the world
I just don't think that's how people work
definitely not
it's idealistic
aye
if you want to become a multi-millionaire
or a billionaire
you have to be able to just go
I'm not going to pay anyone
a fair fucking wage
aye
I'm going to dodge tax
like a motherfucker
that's the thing
it's like you get off
you want to be a millionaire
you have to make two million
but if you want to be a billionaire you have to make 1.1 billion because you're probably going to dodge tax like a motherfucker. That's the thing. It's like you get off. You want to be a millionaire, you have to make two million. But if you want to be a billionaire, you have to make 1.1 billion
because you're probably going to fucking put that money somewhere like a tax haven.
Yeah.
So anyway, we've just fixed the world.
Well, yeah.
I mean, we regularly do on this podcast.
It's still the way we are.
It's almost as if Boris Johnson doesn't listen to this.
Imagine he did.
Imagine it was his escapism
imagine he was like
oh god everything's eating us up
I'm going to just have a bubble bath and listen to Sloss
and he's on the road
and he's crying there and that's why it's called a bubble bath
he didn't put any redox in
what have you got to plug?
not much
but I was also going to say
this is the handy bit
of having
producers in the room
because
one of the things
that happens in normal conversation
with friends and partner
is you get to the end of a topic
and you just go
ah
and then you sit in silence
for 30 seconds
and then
reflect on it
whereas what happens
when you're doing a podcast
is we go
gotta fill this dead air
that's over now we've got these cuts if we have dead air it's dead we'll Is we go, gotta fill this dead air That's over now, we've got these cunts
If we have dead air, it's dead, we'll cut it out
We can cut out dead air now
People won't get to listen to it, just lull
What?
I feel like that's half the thrill
Well, maybe sometimes
But I think it would just pull off the pressure for us to be like
And then this other thing happened today that I'm going to tell you about
Because I'll be honest with you, not heaps of interesting shit.
Yeah, you know what?
We had a discussion on a podcast during the pandemic
about Black Lives Matter, right?
And I revisited it because someone said it was really interesting
and it would be good for a Rewind Wednesday,
and I listened back.
And because it was such a contentious subject, right,
we were doing a lot of emming and airing and omming
and just fucking
every other word
was an em
and I just took the time
to go through
and cut some out
and it just
it just sounded a lot better
did it?
believe it or not
believe it or not
sounded slicker
okay
there we go
that's how
that's how this podcast
will get more intelligent
we won't actually get more intelligent
ourselves
we'll just edit it
to make us
seem fucking better
that'll work
and we're gonna
shall we bring some games back as well
can't do
shall we start doing games again
we'll do
because Muggle Corner was a built-on one
it felt like we expired it
but we could probably
but I feel like it's been so long
since Muggle Corner actually
wearing a Muggle t-shirt
representing
but we're gonna have like a rethink
like we'll have been like
you know when we go same energy so you could have like a rethink like we'll have been like you know when we go
same energy
so you could do like
a same energy game
where you'd say
something that does a thing
and then you try and
pool them with a group
of other people
that have got the same energy
so we should do this
off the podcast really
no no
they see behind the curtain
the entire fucking time
they know what this
fucking shit is
yes
I've got to call myself out for uh being um more of a cupboard and it's not necessarily covered i've
got my excuses ready but i'll tell you what's happening you know how i'm doing a work in
progress here in the fringe uh-huh i'm doing previews this friday you're doing a preview
for your work in progress have you got um material working yet for, have you been to the Red Rose and stuff? I did earlier on in the year
so when I just had a bit more
free time after Caelan
was born and I was just working
on stuff, I popped up at the stand in the
monkey barrel and I got about
there's a 15 minute bit there which
will easily become like a 20-25
minute bit once I get
into it, like you know when you've just got, I'm like that's
a plant, it's going to grow into something big got I'm like that's a plant it's going
to grow into something big but at the moment it's there I'm going to go and like plant more seeds
um I've got ideas I've got fucking heaps of shit I think I've got like most of the structure in my
head but it's just actually fucking sitting down and doing it but part of me does not and this is
all a prison of my own making
in my own head
of standards
that do not exist
outside of anywhere
but me
I'm like
you're not allowed
to write any stuff
before a work in progress
if you're doing
a work in progress
like when I say
I'm doing a preview
I'm doing a 30 minute spot
so I'm just getting up
and doing that
but I'm like
if I sit down
when are you doing that?
Friday, Saturday I'm jumping on you're not doing Thursday? no ah shit because I'm doing the Thursday one yeah so I'm just getting up and doing that but I'm like if I sit down when are you doing that? Friday Saturday I'm
jumping on with
you're not doing
Thursday?
no
ah shit because I'm
doing the Thursday
one
yeah so I think
that's why I'm
jumping in
Marlene I was
like I don't have
people doing the
Friday and Saturday
can I have you
jump on please
just to
so you're going to
figure out
yeah I mean it
needs to be
you're creating a
two hour show
you're in a
different situation
the rest of the
way we're creating
a fringe show
I know but
it would be like
you you know
complaining about all the horrible things
that these drivers are doing over ambulance chasing
and then tooting you behind for 10 years
and then doing it constantly.
It would be like me singing,
your girlfriend, your girlfriend, your girlfriend,
picked a dog and then my wife picked my dog.
Yeah, it would be like that.
It would be like us doing a whole episode
slagging off Tom Horton being on tiktok
and then opening a tiktok account and putting videos up yeah yeah yeah yeah if it's all right
with you i don't want any more examples if we could just uh if we could just stop that one
right there okay point received um i've done a preview like a half preview and it was meant to be
it was just meant to be
25 minutes
and then
Gareth like
had a problem
with it
I think fucking
he's upstairs
and he has left
the bath taps on
and then he ended up
having a bath
in his living room
oh a shower
like
he's fucking
sealing come through
or what
and he was meant to be on
so he bailed on that gig
and I basically
swapped with him
I was like
I'll absorb your time
tonight and then tomorrow'll absorb your time tonight
and then tomorrow
you absorb my time
we'll both do longer spots
right
thinking I'm going to be
a lot better at it
in like a 50 minute spot
or whatever
and I'd done
what I thought was 40
and looked at me watching
I was on like 29 minutes
and I was like
oh brutal
I worked so much more work today
but
it was
like
Craig Hill's crowd
yeah I'd done a joke about ASL and nobody knew what I was on about work today but it was like Craig Hill's crowd yeah
I'd done a joke
about ASL
and nobody knew
what I was on about
and I had to explain it
and I'm like
oh
like this maybe
like it was nice enough
gig and they were laughing
but like
I'm like
oh I think I might have
more time
in a crowd that are
more suited to me
yes
yeah
or at least more neutral
yeah
less expecting to just see one act
that they've come to see.
It's not that they didn't like it,
it's just they did.
And they were laughing.
But you were viewed as a support act
as opposed to the main attraction,
which would obviously be during your...
Yes.
And I think that, like,
it may be,
I'm hoping that it may,
like, if I go into Red Raw tomorrow night
and I do half of that material
it'll be twice as long
yeah it will but you also can't
Red Raw is the other side
especially if it's fucking Glasgow Red Raw
which it is because it's on a Tuesday
that's one where I always use
Glasgow Red Raw as
I just need confidence in this joke
and if I have confidence in this joke
I'll deliver it better and then I'll
find the fucking weak spots because as well in their moments if people are laughing at the bit confidence in this joke. Yeah. Like, and if I have confidence in this joke, I'll deliver it better and then I'll find
the fucking weak spots.
Because as well,
in their moments,
if people are laughing
at the bit,
you'll stay in the bit longer,
you'll come up with bits
on the spot.
Yeah, yeah.
Because you're just
exploring a premise.
There was,
I think it was on the
Comedians Talking Comedy,
which was Jerry Seinfeld,
Chris Rock,
Ricky Gervais,
and Ricky Gervais and Ricky Gervais somehow
like fucking Tottenham in the Super League
I think Ricky Gervais is absolutely
I've not watched his most recent stand up
but I think Ricky Gervais is very funny
I think Extras is one of the funniest shows ever made
The Office I never got into,
and that's just because I personally don't like cringe comedy.
Yeah, I don't know.
I didn't really watch Partridge or anything.
Yeah, like it's just, I might try again with it more,
but I remember trying to watch it and I was just like,
I can't enjoy cringing at Office, awkward situations.
That's not what makes me laugh.
But it's obviously fucking genius.
But I just think think and this is why
I respect Ricky
just for the ego
he wasn't a stand up
originally
he was a fucking
writer
and then he wrote
two of the best
television comedy shows
he's ever written
and then started doing comedy
after that
and because he's such a good writer
obviously his material
was good
and he was confident
and able to do this
but the brass fucking neck
to being like
alright so
shall we have a sit down
of all the greatest comics
in the world
to Jerry Seinfeld
Louis CK
and fucking Chris Rock
I've been like
you've got seven years
under your belt
haven't you
like don't get me wrong
like you've got
Bathurst and Ennard
and Golden Globes
and all these things
I just took off golf
and I'm just like
right take it
right
pod rake
and you're decent at golf
you're really
but
seven years
I'll let me build
but it's great
I love
nothing more
than talking shop
and I love watching
comedians talk
I love the science
of comedy
I love the
the
the
creativity of it
and you know
how you dissect it
and understand it
so watching these four comics
sitting around talking about it one of the things that jerry seinfeld was saying is what do you do
what you're meant to do like let's say you do a joke right and the audience is fucking laughing
and they're laughing so hard that they're actually interrupting the next bit yeah and you're losing
momentum and you're losing momentum what do you do because some people just they accept
the applause
stay in the bit
stay in the bit
whatever you do
let's say you're
doing a bit where
you're angry about
or the person you're
playing in the routine
is angry about
something and you're
yelling and you
yell the punchline
or one of the
punchlines and the
audience lose their
shit
don't bask in the
consider it pausing
the TV
just fucking stay
there angry
stay angry you can still bask in the fucking laughter you canusing the TV. Just fucking stay there, angry. Stay angry.
You can still bask in the fucking laughter.
You can corpse to an extent.
You can, like, have a laugh at yourself,
but then, like, kind of game face yourself
and get back to being angry again.
You've just got to stay in the bit.
So when that big laugh starts,
that emotion that you're in there
is the same emotion you want to be when you come out of it.
Even if you stop and have a drink while they're fucking giving out the beans as long as you get back to that that was the
first i remember that being like one of the landmarks in my career when i was starting out
when i was still just a fucking open spot doing gigs anywhere the first time i think was my seventh
or eighth gig and i can tell you i can tell you the full layout of this fucking room.
And you know how bad my memory is.
For some reason, this felt like such an achievement that my brain captured it,
because I was like, you're a real comedian.
That's it.
It was literally the first time I ever had the confidence
to take a drink on stage.
Oh, wow.
To actually, like, they laugh and go.
Because if you're new to comedy,
there's nothing more terrifying
than taking your weapon out the fucking game yeah it would be like going paintballing or going to
fucking war and for random bits of the combat to be like and you just have to you have to take all
the bullets out the gun yeah there's gonna be it's only gonna be five seconds it's like reloading
it's gonna feel like forever it's gonna feel like fucking forever and you're gonna be drinking again don't fuck up having a drink i still fuck up drinking on stage
and always gets that fucking horrible laugh where they just laugh at your stupidity and you're like
do i ever tell you about my second ever gig where i forgot what i was saying i totally i only had
one routine i had nowhere to go if i forgot what i'm saying it's my second gig right and it's a
place called
Hoke O'Ten in Newcastle.
Gavin Webster was hosting it, right?
And I'm on somewhere in the middle
and I went to get my drink
off the table
and as I'm having a swig,
I went,
it's a fucking candle.
It was a floating candle.
It wasn't lit.
So I went out
and I started drinking
of a floating candle
on my second ever gig and it absolutely solved it because I was like and started drinking a floating candle on my second
ever gig
and it
absolutely
solved it
because I
was like
oh fuck
I forgot
what I was
going to
say
yeah
kill some
time by
having a
drink
and then
fucking
next thing
you know
saved by
a candle
one thing
advice to
new comics
is sort
the mic in
the mic stand
out the minute
you get on
stage
and that's
another one
of them
well it's that and it just looks so fucking amateur if you like sort the mic in the mic stand the minute you get on stage. And that's another one of them. Market territory.
Well, it's that.
And it just looks so fucking amateur.
If you like,
you know, this is how they're tangled up on here.
If you just grab it
and stay tangled up.
Yeah.
And you don't just take a second
and just loop it around the mic stand
and then put the mic stand over there.
Like, you're on such higher status
to do that
than to just perform
your five-minute spot
as fast as you can with a tangled-up mic.
And also, you've got to,
my advice would be,
spend the first 15 to 30 seconds
of getting onto stage and getting ready.
Barely acknowledge them.
You're attacking for, like,
one plus hour tour show there.
If you're on day and you're spot after the comp there,
definitely let the clapping and laughter
die down for too long,
but use that time.
You can have the 15 seconds
to get up there,
acknowledge the audience,
without saying fucking,
but like make eye contact with them,
take the mic at the stand,
put the mic fucking behind you,
and then stand still.
And that's just you very much in a psychological level going,
this is mine, this is where I am.
Because you've got to remember, as much as you're like,
oh God, I'm terrified of being on stage.
Everyone in that audience, not everyone,
most of the people in that audience are terrified of the concept of being on stage.
For some reason, public speaking is like the number one fear in the world.
So that extra little bit of of it might not feel like confidence
at the time
might feel like
time wasting
to the audience
will look like
confidence
and they'll just
have a bit more
trust in you
half of the
fucking game
is confidence
and just convincing
people that
yeah sometimes
you can be nervous
because the gig's like
it could be pivotal
to your career
as long as they
don't see the nerves
you're fine
you're fine
and if you can
keep them to yourself
and also just to let you know,
no gig is pivotal to your fucking career.
It feels like it at the time, though.
You know them, so you think you're funny,
you heat to the tryout spot at the comedy store,
and like opening for a big act,
like them moments in your career,
especially if you're like, if you have a day job,
and you're like, oh, if this job and you're like oh if this goes
well like you can't help but think in the maths way again like if i do well on this jongles tryout
and julia chamberlain likes us that's that's like 500 pound weekends yeah that's like four for them
in a month would be twice as much as i'm getting new i mean like my factory job or whatever like
so there there is that moments where you're like oh this could change my life yeah but but it's to understand that those things can but that's why i'm in comedy
you're given opportunities right and they might you you might get less than other people you might
get more than other people it's important to understand where you stand in it like if you
are getting more opportunities acknowledge that hello um but if you're getting even if you fuck
up that object there are going to be more
opportunities there as long as you stick in this fucking job the opportunities are going to
and and the way to get past the nerves is to remember it's not about you it's about the
people who bought the ticket who want to laugh and if you're good at making people laugh don't
worry about that don't worry about like oh what if i get booked for this next gig if you just think
it's like that fucking if you're going to build a wall think about laying each brick yeah it's just like that just go out
there do what you do make them people laugh and then the stuff will come yeah yeah and so yeah
i mean i guess it can lead and don't mention how bright the lights are that's really nervous too
yeah because the lights are way brighter than people expect yeah yeah and also the audience
don't know how bright the lights are they're never going to experience it I couldn't care but if you are gone
and you're just like
oh shit that's bright
so I mean I guess
the only things
we have to plug
are our upcoming
fringe shows
yep
and also the Patreon
which you can subscribe
to
at Patreon
or any of our
fucking social media pages
you'll be able to get on

where I was like
you know what's in space
mostly nothing oh I can't I can know what's in space? Mostly nothing.
Oh, I can't get over it.
Just space is mostly nothing.
When you look at space,
it's mostly fuck all.
Aye, but I thought
there'd be stuff in it.
Then there would be a backdrop.
Like bits and bobs.
It's like, you know how
the sky looks like
there's nothing in it,
but you can't see that fuck
because it gets dusty.
In the podcast.
We'll see you on Thursday's episode, kids.
