                                         Ha ha ha!
                                         
    
                                         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?
                                         
                                         Muggled it up on fuckin' Mugglepedia
                                         
    
                                         Where have you been since 9-11?
                                         
                                         And we are recorded.
                                         
                                         And we wasted all the gold before we pressed record, didn't we?
                                         
                                         We did.
                                         
                                         We had a little bit of banter.
                                         
                                         But please, that's it.
                                         
                                         That's it.
                                         
                                         That's all we need to say about the pre-banter.
                                         
    
                                         We can move on now.
                                         
                                         We don't need to relive it.
                                         
                                         We don't need you to do a play-by-play.
                                         
                                         We don't need the minutes read from the back.
                                         
                                         It can just be a bit of banter that you and me
                                         
                                         had between ourselves. Nobody else
                                         
                                         needs to experience it. Nobody else needs
                                         
                                         to watch the shitty, shitty
                                         
    
                                         camcorder in the back
                                         
                                         of a cinema version of our
                                         
                                         banter that we just had.
                                         
                                         Wow. Basically,
                                         
                                         so what just happened there for me was
                                         
                                         I had a really nice bit of
                                         
                                         candid banter when we made
                                         
                                         not for the cameras
                                         
    
                                         just a bit of banter
                                         
                                         and as soon as the
                                         
                                         fucking audio was recorded
                                         
                                         you just turned into a snake
                                         
                                         no
                                         
                                         because I knew
                                         
                                         what you were about to do
                                         
                                         we could have just
                                         
    
                                         started on a nice note
                                         
                                         being like
                                         
                                         hey how are you
                                         
                                         got in there
                                         
                                         I wasn't about to do shit
                                         
                                         you know
                                         
                                         no you weren't
                                         
                                         you went
                                         
    
                                         we just had a bit
                                         
                                         off air
                                         
                                         and I knew
                                         
                                         you were about to just re-bring up the bit
                                         
                                         that we just fucking did.
                                         
                                         I was not.
                                         
                                         We've put fresh life into a well-dead body
                                         
                                         for the sake of no one.
                                         
    
                                         I mean, yeah, you are pattern forming
                                         
                                         and that is the kind of thing I would do,
                                         
                                         but I wasn't going to do that.
                                         
                                         I was just going to banter on the fact
                                         
                                         that we're just having a swell old time.
                                         
                                         We're having a swell old time.
                                         
                                         Well, it does require an explanation because we didn't do the Sunday podcast.
                                         
                                         Well, sorry, the Monday podcast.
                                         
    
                                         Yes, because we'll record the Monday one on a Sunday,
                                         
                                         and you had a Day Drinking with Dan American version,
                                         
                                         which was recorded Sunday night,
                                         
                                         which meant you would have had to do two hours work
                                         
                                         instead of one,
                                         
                                         and that is a double shift.
                                         
                                         Double shift.
                                         
                                         Isn't it?
                                         
    
                                         Double shift.
                                         
                                         Well, to be fair,
                                         
                                         I was about to be like,
                                         
                                         no, no, it's not that.
                                         
                                         It is a bit of that.
                                         
                                         It is.
                                         
                                         I've now become accustomed to a certain lifestyle,
                                         
                                         and it involves fuck all.
                                         
    
                                         And also,
                                         
                                         sorry, not sorry,
                                         
                                         because people are getting the same amount of content.
                                         
                                         You're doing an extra hour
                                         
                                         of Insta Live
                                         
                                         instead of the hour
                                         
                                         of the podcast.
                                         
                                         It's a,
                                         
    
                                         if anything,
                                         
                                         I'm the one that's being lazy
                                         
                                         because I'm getting the free hour.
                                         
                                         Well, no, I mean,
                                         
                                         because I could have,
                                         
                                         in theory,
                                         
                                         I could have done the podcast
                                         
                                         and the day drinking
                                         
    
                                         of just deciding
                                         
                                         to limit it to one.
                                         
                                         But it's not because of the amount of time it's taken up.
                                         
                                         It is genuinely for the fucking fact that
                                         
                                         I'm not doing much, you're not doing much,
                                         
                                         and we're not one of those podcasts
                                         
                                         that has regular fucking features.
                                         
                                         Like Muggle Corner we occasionally do.
                                         
    
                                         Occasionally if we're feeling a bit lethargic,
                                         
                                         we'll bring in the hypotheticals and whatnot.
                                         
                                         But normally, it's just based on our battery.
                                         
                                         But, like, when we're on tour, it's fine to do two a week
                                         
                                         because one day we're in Belgium
                                         
                                         and the next day we're in Switzerland
                                         
                                         and the next day we're off to Japan.
                                         
                                         Different things happen.
                                         
    
                                         I want to know what happened in Moscow.
                                         
                                         Yeah, like, fucking...
                                         
                                         Little update, little update.
                                         
                                         At the start of this, it was fine because it was all new
                                         
                                         it was like oh
                                         
                                         this is the new normal
                                         
                                         but it still feels so weird
                                         
                                         what can we talk about
                                         
    
                                         what do
                                         
                                         it's
                                         
                                         now it's just
                                         
                                         normality
                                         
                                         it's
                                         
                                         it's actually worse
                                         
                                         than doing the
                                         
                                         like we would stop
                                         
    
                                         doing the podcast
                                         
                                         when we were no longer
                                         
                                         on tour
                                         
                                         because that was the
                                         
                                         whole point
                                         
                                         it's lost
                                         
                                         on the road
                                         
                                         but because we were like fuck it nobody's got anything was the whole point of Slots and Up on the Road. But because we were like, fuck it,
                                         
    
                                         nobody's got anything to talk about,
                                         
                                         let's try and entertain the fans,
                                         
                                         we decided to go back to two a week while not on tour.
                                         
                                         And I'll be honest with you...
                                         
                                         Our work there is done, I believe.
                                         
                                         Aye.
                                         
                                         We went in, we propped people up with mild entertainment
                                         
                                         for six weeks.
                                         
    
                                         Aye, and they're just going to have to.
                                         
                                         We're still going to do one a week, but they can find
                                         
                                         the rest of the entertainment because I've just
                                         
                                         got so little to say. Just checking in on you.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         It's nice to keep one a week because I
                                         
                                         get to keep up with you, mate.
                                         
                                         Get to have another. I would have rang you once a week
                                         
    
                                         anyway, even
                                         
                                         if we didn't have a podcast.
                                         
                                         To be honest
                                         
                                         I did not before the podcast
                                         
                                         I might not have picked up
                                         
                                         you know
                                         
                                         I was saying on the
                                         
                                         when I was knitting on Instagram
                                         
    
                                         the other day someone mentioned about it
                                         
                                         I was like that was what was good about the podcast
                                         
                                         we had scheduled times when we talked
                                         
                                         the first two tours
                                         
                                         I lost

                                         Because in that case, I'm in the corner every day
                                         
                                         oh well you're sharing a bed isn't it so like it's kind of just like a shared interest

                                         day with that conversation i just get, it's just information that,
                                         
                                         and I know you're not always meant to do stuff with information.
                                         
                                         The point of conversation isn't necessarily always to impart knowledge.
                                         
                                         You know, it's to conversate.
                                         
                                         We're human beings, we're fucking social creatures.
                                         
                                         But that's one thing I just couldn't give a shit about.

                                         You might, like, go,

                                         Like, this was on my mind.
                                         
                                         Like, it's something to present but like
                                         
                                         I'm not going to put myself through that conversation
                                         
                                         at will
                                         
                                         I'm not going to ask someone
                                         
                                         like someone can tell us how to sleep
                                         
    
                                         I didn't find that to be muggly that is just them letting you know
                                         
                                         I might be in a shitty mood today
                                         
                                         I might not be firing off all the cylinders
                                         
                                         you can present

                                         for boring conversation
                                         
                                         it's hairdresser chat that's not taking place in a hairdresser's it's like how dare you let
                                         
                                         this type of conversation exist in a real friendship maybe that's the problem
                                         
    
                                         you're bringing a child or strangers into a chat between friends and it's slightly insulting
                                         
                                         it'd be like if i just one day was like hey guy, where you going on holiday?

                                         conversation and conversation about the
                                         
    
                                         weather outside has got to be covered
                                         
                                         already and expired and then
                                         
                                         there's got to be an awkward silence hanging in the air
                                         
                                         before I go, how did you sleep last night i'm absolutely fine with i mean as you well know i'm absolutely fine

                                         a old computer that hasn't been turned on in a while this is every morning and you turn it on
                                         
                                         and it's just a spinning
                                         
                                         disc on your screen for about three hours
                                         
    
                                         and then eventually
                                         
                                         it can open a file
                                         
                                         and the more things you try
                                         
                                         to get it to do within those first
                                         
                                         three hours, the slower it'll run for the rest
                                         
                                         of the day, like you're

                                         this better be fucking good, mate.
                                         
                                         Why are you interrupting the movie that I was playing in my head?
                                         
                                         I'm sorry you're not comfortable

                                         but I was having a fucking brilliant time over here
                                         
                                         before I was told something.
                                         
                                         It's always good.
                                         
                                         Everything I've got to sit is interesting.
                                         
                                         I mean,

                                         Speaking of which,
                                         
    
                                         I woke up the other day,
                                         
                                         all right,

                                         and you look up.
                                         
                                         I just laid down.

                                         was stood
                                         
                                         hugging her wedding dress.
                                         
                                         Hugging it?

                                         in the corner of the room.
                                         
                                         Why?
                                         
                                         She was just stood in front of me giving me a cuddle
                                         
    
                                         Having her first dance again, but from my point of view
                                         
                                         What was her justification for this?
                                         
                                         She just walked past it and felt like it
                                         
                                         She just, she just she just
                                         
                                         she hugged the future
                                         
                                         ghost of herself
                                         
                                         like that's the dress
                                         
                                         that she'll haunt us in
                                         
    
                                         should she die
                                         
                                         before her time
                                         
                                         she just hugged

                                         I'll say it
                                         
    
                                         on the podcast
                                         
                                         because it's
                                         
                                         the podcast
                                         
                                         and this
                                         
                                         story is
                                         
                                         exactly the
                                         
                                         reason why I'll never promote this podcast on anything else.
                                         
                                         The thing that you've clarified, the very stone statement, I cannot read my own handwriting while looking at your phone.
                                         
    
                                         We've clarified multiple times.
                                         
                                         That was you.
                                         
                                         We've spoken about it on the podcast.
                                         
                                         I'm fine with that.
                                         
                                         That's just a funny twisting of history.
                                         
                                         I'm not going to be bitter about it.
                                         
                                         Yeah, because I had to commit to that
                                         
                                         because I was in the middle of the lie at the time
                                         
    
                                         and I couldn't put out that publication
                                         
                                         while throwing you under the bus.
                                         
                                         It was part and parcel timestamped
                                         
                                         of me throwing you under the bus.
                                         
                                         I've got zero, zero fucking problem with it.
                                         
                                         My actual fucking problem with it, right?
                                         
                                         You bring up the argument,
                                         
                                         which is absolutely true about me,
                                         
    
                                         which is I will 100 times out of 100
                                         
                                         take sleep over sex.
                                         
                                         Yes.
                                         
                                         No matter what.
                                         
                                         Like, it's basically,
                                         
                                         back when,
                                         
                                         especially the early tours
                                         
                                         when it was me being fucking single,
                                         
    
                                         living my life,
                                         
                                         women had until two o'clock in the morning
                                         
                                         to confirm whether they were going to have sex with me or not.
                                         
                                         And after that, it was never going to happen.
                                         
                                         I need my fucking sleep.
                                         
                                         Like, I just...
                                         
                                         Sex is...
                                         
                                         I mean, I'm not going to say it's never been better than sleeping,
                                         
    
                                         but when it's with randoms, very rarely is it better than fucking sleeping.
                                         
                                         You want to do both.
                                         
                                         You don't want to substitute it.
                                         
                                         No.
                                         
                                         You want to substitute sex for sleep. You want to have sex and then go to sleep
                                         
                                         yes exactly like i don't see why it has to be like this yeah this thing that always people

                                         but let me if you're gonna make us choose to sleep if you're the one giving me the ultimatum between sex and sleep i'm not being bullied

                                         just because i make so much noise while I suck my own dick.
                                         
                                         One girl thought I was snoring.
                                         
                                         Do you get sleep in your eyes?
                                         
                                         I've got something in my eyes.
                                         
    
                                         So,
                                         
                                         particularly on the fucking Prague day,
                                         
                                         you mentioned,
                                         
                                         and I don't remember the girls
                                         
                                         that were flirting with me
                                         
                                         or the, you know, the narrative there, but I do remember.
                                         
                                         The fact that you're like, girls were flirting with you
                                         
                                         and you chose going home with me, smoking,
                                         
    
                                         so we didn't go to bed over girls.
                                         
                                         I'm like, I believe that 100%
                                         
                                         because that's also what I would do now.
                                         
                                         I mean, now for more pure reasons.
                                         
                                         So I think, what's your complaint?
                                         
                                         At the minute it sounds like I documented the truth
                                         
                                         and you're just complaining that it happened.
                                         
                                         Well, no, no, right.
                                         
    
                                         The next day...
                                         
                                         The next day was the...
                                         
                                         Fucking, it was the Lithuanian one, right?
                                         
                                         And I was just...
                                         
                                         I told Peggy this story afterwards.
                                         
                                         I'm like, he's fucking mugged me off, right?
                                         
                                         As if I didn't get laid on that tour at all, right?
                                         
                                         It's not that I couldn't get laid.
                                         
    
                                         It's that I didn't, you know, I didn't want, it was a choice.
                                         
                                         It was a personal fucking thing.
                                         
                                         And I said that this is how comfortable in my relationship I am
                                         
                                         and how absolutely stupid I am at some points to my girlfriend.
                                         
                                         And both of them were like, he failed to even mention that the next day
                                         
                                         I got a handjob off of a woman who had my name written on her fingernails.
                                         
                                         Oh, well, this is true. But at the time when I was putting the blog out, job off of a woman who had my name written on her fingernails Oh well

                                         at the time when I was putting the blog out
                                         
                                         you told me to respect the privacy of you
                                         
                                         and the girls involved
                                         
                                         so I didn't

                                         So I think what my problem is at the times you didn't. Oh, that's fair. I'm not an idiot. So mainly...
                                         
                                         So I think what my problem is,
                                         
                                         is much like you were complaining about in the book
                                         
                                         that you can't live vicariously through me,
                                         
                                         I can no longer live vicariously through me.
                                         
                                         Because it wasn't...
                                         
                                         Because I would have documented their moments,
                                         
    
                                         like the girl with the fingernails,
                                         
                                         had you not vetoed it
                                         
                                         it was the one bit of censorship
                                         
                                         you put on
                                         
                                         and I think it was probably because
                                         
                                         there was potential girls that you were like
                                         
                                         dating that were reading the blog
                                         
                                         no I don't
                                         
    
                                         I think mine's just more
                                         
                                         I'm glad I made that decision
                                         
                                         just because I'm comfortable with telling stories
                                         
                                         doesn't mean the other person is okay with telling stories.
                                         
                                         It's the standard rule I've always had for my fucking routines.
                                         
                                         If I'm willing to tell a story,
                                         
                                         except for one very obvious exception,
                                         
                                         everyone else involved in the story
                                         
    
                                         has to be okay with me telling it,
                                         
                                         even if we're not mates anymore.
                                         
                                         What I do with natalie is i'll
                                         
                                         tell the story first on stage and then if it's funny i'll i'll break it do i and ask then ask
                                         
                                         her if i could do it because it's easier to ask forgiveness than it is for permission
                                         
                                         well no i think it's easier to ask if i could do it if i now people are gonna laugh
                                         
                                         like i i do the pilot and then ask for a commission.
                                         
                                         I think that's a fair way of doing it.
                                         
    
                                         I've done a couple like that
                                         
                                         where, like,
                                         
                                         as soon as it worked,
                                         
                                         I'm just left with another problem.
                                         
                                         I'm like, oh, no,
                                         
                                         I've got to now go and clear this.
                                         
                                         What was one?
                                         
                                         One of them
                                         
    
                                         was actually mentioned in the book, you know,
                                         
                                         the bit about the girl that offered to sleep with us,
                                         
                                         but I turned it down and I was like, that's a hollow victory.
                                         
                                         You can't go home and brag about that.
                                         
                                         I've not gone to that, but yeah.
                                         
                                         But I do remember the incident, yeah.
                                         
                                         So I did it about getting off at a blowjob
                                         
                                         and then saying, like, why have a burger when there's steak at home?
                                         
    
                                         Comforting myself with that, why have a burger with a steak at home? And then going a burger when there's steak at home comforting myself with that
                                         
                                         why have a burger
                                         
                                         with a steak at home
                                         
                                         and then going
                                         
                                         because there's steaks at home
                                         
                                         and I'm hungry now
                                         
                                         and I'm not going to get home
                                         
                                         after three months or two
                                         
    
                                         and going
                                         
                                         oh I had a blowjob
                                         
                                         when I was out
                                         
                                         how'd it go again
                                         
                                         oh fuck
                                         
                                         I can't even remember
                                         
                                         how my old joke went
                                         
                                         that's how long it's been
                                         
    
                                         since I've done stand up
                                         
                                         Because I actually had this as a stand up routine
                                         
                                         Oh it's like don't compare it to food
                                         
                                         Can you remember how my joke went?
                                         
                                         No that would require watching your set more than once
                                         
                                         Fuck
                                         
                                         So it was
                                         
                                         Oh my eyes are bigger than me willy
                                         
    
                                         Like acting as if I've got a suppressible appetite
                                         
                                         Oh I can't get a blowjob off here
                                         
                                         When I get home.
                                         
                                         I had one when I was out.
                                         
                                         You've got to have to give it to the dog.
                                         
                                         That's how I did it.
                                         
                                         As if I'd come home and I was full of blowjobs
                                         
                                         and she had a blowjob ready for us
                                         
    
                                         and I had to turn it down.
                                         
                                         That's how the joke went.
                                         
                                         Just to correct your phrasing,
                                         
                                         if you came home full of blowjobs,
                                         
                                         that's a very different thing.
                                         
                                         That is a very different thing. That is a very
                                         
                                         different turn. And Natalie
                                         
                                         is upset in a different
                                         
    
                                         way, but for much more.
                                         
                                         Sorry,
                                         
                                         you can't suck me off. I'm already
                                         
                                         filled with so much gum.
                                         
                                         I just can't promise
                                         
                                         that the load you swallow will be
                                         
                                         mine.
                                         
                                         I wonder how upset she would be if she found that out.
                                         
    
                                         She'd just be confused.
                                         
                                         If she found out that I'd just been sucking loads of dick on the road.
                                         
                                         I think it's still absolutely.
                                         
                                         It's called doing a Schofield.
                                         
                                         From prison break.
                                         
                                         I was going to get my own sentence. from prison break get further statements well I think if you
                                         
                                         she would definitely be allowed to be
                                         
                                         if you came home and you're like hey I cheated on you
                                         
    
                                         but it was with a guy
                                         
                                         I think she would be more upset
                                         
                                         because even though you're like
                                         
                                         oh but you know
                                         
                                         I'm heterosexual
                                         
                                         it's more of a betrayal because that's also something
                                         
                                         you didn't tell me on top
                                         
                                         if you get what I mean
                                         
    
                                         see I think it would be different
                                         
                                         for
                                         
                                         in our specific situation
                                         
                                         it would be different
                                         
                                         for each of us if it was the other way around
                                         
                                         if she come back and went can I cheat on you
                                         
                                         but it was with a girl there would be part of me
                                         
                                         where my brain moves to, all right,
                                         
    
                                         can we just invite them into the marriage?
                                         
                                         But there would be no way Natalie's brain would go on.
                                         
                                         Oh, sweet.
                                         
                                         I make a double teamed here.
                                         
                                         Aye.
                                         
                                         She wouldn't be looking for the silver lining like you were.
                                         
                                         I'd be like, so are you just going to keep both of them on the go
                                         
                                         and then occasionally just let it cross over
                                         
    
                                         I'm going to be like a Venn diagram
                                         
                                         I'm not dealt with here on this thing
                                         
                                         unless you want me
                                         
                                         here's the difference
                                         
                                         did you put a word in for it
                                         
                                         if you came home
                                         
                                         after sucking off a guy
                                         
                                         there's no way
                                         
    
                                         Natalie would just
                                         
                                         kiss you on the mouth
                                         
                                         for two minutes
                                         
                                         to get the taste of it
                                         
                                         aye
                                         
                                         but she came home
                                         
                                         and she was like
                                         
                                         I licked a girl out
                                         
    
                                         last night
                                         
                                         you were like
                                         
                                         don't brush your teeth
                                         
                                         I'd pin her mouth open
                                         
                                         like an autopsy
                                         
                                         and get her
                                         
                                         rummaging around
                                         
                                         using your clean toothbrush
                                         
    
                                         just so you could get it for later.
                                         
                                         Put one of them dentist shields in.
                                         
                                         Oh, man.
                                         
                                         I'm sorry, I farted.
                                         
                                         I farted very stupidly
                                         
                                         just because obviously,
                                         
                                         I don't know how you use phones,
                                         
                                         but my mouth said the mouthpiece
                                         
    
                                         and my asshole is where it always is.
                                         
                                         So I farted as if it was far enough away uh from the speaker bit for you not to hear
                                         
                                         forgetting that i'm not i'm not recording on this my phone's over there and now i've definitely just

                                         come on
                                         
    
                                         Sam
                                         
                                         what have I called right
                                         
                                         and all I wanted to do
                                         
                                         I could tell it was going to be
                                         
                                         a proper guff and rasp
                                         
                                         in one as well
                                         
                                         it's just like
                                         
                                         slightly bend over
                                         
    
                                         and just push it out right out the kid's face.
                                         
                                         And the intrusive thought was dominant.
                                         
                                         And then it was like I made myself laugh afterwards
                                         
                                         because I wanted to just shout afterwards,
                                         
                                         that's not social distancing, is it?
                                         
                                         And I just couldn't stop laughing.
                                         
                                         I was laughing like that laughing and Natalie's like

                                         in my head
                                         
                                         alright
                                         
                                         I don't want you to know
                                         
                                         what I've won
                                         
                                         I

                                         I should let the
                                         
                                         intrusive thought
                                         
                                         win on that one
                                         
                                         because intrusive thoughts
                                         
                                         right like

                                         sometimes you'll just
                                         
                                         be chatting to someone
                                         
                                         and they'll go
                                         
                                         why don't you just
                                         
                                         punch them in the face and like you're like well go why don't you just punch them in the face
                                         
                                         you're like well I'm not going to punch them
                                         
                                         in the face am I and you just end up having that
                                         
                                         you miss what they've said because you're trying to
                                         
    
                                         target them and you're punching them
                                         
                                         you're never going to answer that intrusive thought
                                         
                                         because it's ridiculous
                                         
                                         this was one of the first times where I nearly went
                                         
                                         alright I'm listening
                                         
                                         I get that
                                         
                                         I get that with
                                         
                                         I would have done it if I'd known
                                         
    
                                         if the parent doesn't see me do it
                                         
                                         I think that's fine
                                         
                                         nah you would have
                                         
                                         thought of the kid's face if you could have
                                         
                                         got away with it
                                         
                                         only if the kid had been like
                                         
                                         the more I think about this I think this might be like a Joe Brand
                                         
                                         routine where she
                                         
    
                                         I've got it in my head
                                         
                                         of
                                         
                                         I think it is a Joe Brand joke
                                         
                                         where she bent over
                                         
                                         and farted in the
                                         
                                         kid's face
                                         
                                         but just that
                                         
                                         I get those interesting thoughts

                                         if there's a kid running
                                         
                                         if there's a particularly

                                         are doing nothing

                                         about the consequences
                                         
                                         of your children's actions

                                         when I was a kid

                                         so I used to knock around the street
                                         
                                         On my bikes
                                         
                                         We used to cause a bit of trouble
                                         
                                         And all that
                                         
                                         But usually just having a bit of fun
                                         
    
                                         Playing football
                                         
                                         Playing Kirby

                                         We call it
                                         
                                         You've made us start calling it Kirby
                                         
                                         I think we did
                                         
                                         Oh no
                                         
                                         We definitely called it Kirby
                                         
    
                                         It was Kirby in Scotland
                                         
                                         So
                                         
                                         Just kicking around the street
                                         
                                         And this woman
                                         
                                         She would have probably been
                                         
                                         In her late teens,
                                         
                                         maybe her early 20s, but, you know, as, like, a seven-year-old.
                                         
                                         Because I remember who it was as well.
                                         
    
                                         Fuck, never forget.
                                         
                                         And she lived with her parents.
                                         
                                         She wasn't, like, a moved-out grown-up,
                                         
                                         but to a seven-year-old, she was a grown-up, you know?
                                         
                                         I mean, she was one of the big ones.
                                         
                                         I just remember her coming up,
                                         
                                         and was just leaning at me face and going,
                                         
                                         I fucking hate you.
                                         
    
                                         Just as a kid
                                         
                                         just like
                                         
                                         normally just

                                         about seven or eight
                                         
                                         I'm going to say like 19 20 you know what you might have been about 7 or 8.
                                         
                                         I'm going to say like 19, 20.
                                         
                                         You know what?

                                         but in my head she was a fucking bigot.
                                         
                                         She was an adult, you know what I mean?
                                         
                                         Just like a fucking police officer randomly pulling you over to call you a cunt.
                                         
    
                                         I fucking hate you.
                                         
                                         You're not in trouble.
                                         
                                         You've not done anything wrong.
                                         
                                         I don't have a particular example
                                         
                                         to tell you why this next sentence
                                         
                                         is leaving my mouth,
                                         
                                         but here it is.

                                         You know what it is, though?
                                         
                                         She'll fucking cut us to the core.
                                         
                                         And when I look back,
                                         
                                         you'd thought it was me, right?
                                         
                                         Fucking ginger, big glasses and all that, right?
                                         
                                         Frickles out of my face, right?
                                         
                                         Fucking most mutant-looking kid, right?
                                         
                                         I still haven't quite owned it yet.
                                         
    
                                         But she might have been a bit fucking, like,
                                         
                                         depressed and all that, right?
                                         
                                         And just looking at me going,
                                         
                                         how is he happy?
                                         
                                         Might as well be fucking humiliating.
                                         
                                         And she just went,
                                         
                                         how the fuck's that going to happen?
                                         
                                         I'm going to fucking tell them

                                         when I've got all of this
                                         
                                         and I've had no man
                                         
                                         I've just got

                                         that sparked off
                                         
                                         a bit of a war
                                         
                                         between my mum

                                         because they used to
                                         
                                         always be arguing
                                         
    
                                         out the foot grass
                                         
                                         just yelling
                                         
                                         just on their own
                                         
                                         real bloods

                                         but I used to
                                         
                                         I think I ran in

                                         and I think my mum
                                         
                                         stormed out

                                         What's a grown-up daughter doing?
                                         
                                         And the mum was like,
                                         
                                         who does this?

                                         I sent her.
                                         
                                         I sent her to tell her.
                                         
                                         Sorry, sorry,

                                         your kid was meant to pass that on to you.
                                         
                                         I was using our children's car in the pigeons at this point.
                                         
                                         To be honest with you, I expected you to say something to your mutant son, that on to you I was using our children's car at this point I can't

                                         until about 5
                                         
                                         when my bus got into

                                         and then you walk home
                                         
                                         from the bus
                                         
                                         walk home from bus

                                         from the bus
                                         
                                         than it is to the bus.
                                         
    
                                         Yes.
                                         
                                         Because you have a nightmare before your coffee.
                                         
                                         It's a walk to the bus.
                                         
                                         It's a run from it.
                                         
                                         Just a grumpy little 10-year-old

                                         Just like a deadbeat cop.
                                         
                                         I've just seen too much so young

                                         there must be this fucking 9 year old
                                         
                                         kid over Matthew
                                         
                                         over 5 year old Matthew
                                         
    
                                         so I'm just walking from school, Matthew's
                                         
                                         school finished like fucking an hour and a half ago
                                         
                                         he's clearly just playing out in the streets like he always
                                         
                                         does, and there's this kid that's got
                                         
                                         Matthew up against the wall, sort of pushing him
                                         
                                         smashing him to the wall, and as much as
                                         
                                         there was times when I was a kid that I hated
                                         
                                         my brother, he's still my fucking brother, right?
                                         
    
                                         It's my job to kick the living shit out of him.
                                         
                                         That's no one else's right.
                                         
                                         And I think I've had, like,
                                         
                                         a particularly fucking bad day at school.
                                         
                                         I was also a small kid,
                                         
                                         so I've been picked on.
                                         
                                         So it's just, like,
                                         
                                         all the starts coming back to me.
                                         
    
                                         And I see the fact that I'm 15 years old
                                         
                                         and this kid is nine,

                                         No, Josie

                                         Him, him, him.
                                         
                                         Hey, how dare you try and change this heroic story
                                         
                                         into one of minor abuse.
                                         
                                         So I fucking grab his butt
                                         
                                         and I fucking wrench him
                                         
                                         halfway across the road, right?
                                         
                                         And I stand over it
                                         
                                         and I give it,
                                         
    
                                         I can't remember what I said,
                                         
                                         but I give him
                                         
                                         the full fucking spiel.

                                         on his head again,
                                         
                                         I'll fuck.
                                         
                                         I'm giving it.
                                         
                                         I'm above his kid.
                                         
    
                                         I'm going, right?
                                         
                                         I'm like, fuck you.
                                         
                                         I know he's fucking annoying.
                                         
                                         I know he's a piece of shit.
                                         
                                         I know he's this, right?
                                         
                                         But that's not, you're right.
                                         
                                         It's my job to kick the shit out of him, okay?
                                         
                                         Not fucking you.
                                         
    
                                         If you touch him fucking again,
                                         
                                         I'll fucking kill you.
                                         
                                         It's my job to beat him up, right?
                                         
                                         I turn around.
                                         
                                         What, Matthew?
                                         
                                         Wasn't Matthew.
                                         
                                         It's my job to beat him up.
                                         
                                         The poor kids can't.
                                         
    
                                         Oh, fuck, I didn't think this could get any worse.
                                         
                                         This random teenage boy,
                                         
                                         while he was getting the shit kicked out of him,
                                         
                                         has just come over and claimed him.
                                         
                                         Just, no, no.
                                         
                                         It's mine and mine alone to do it.
                                         
                                         And then you start beating him up
                                         
                                         and then this fucking 25-year-old bloke comes and pulls you off
                                         
    
                                         and goes, no, No, he's mine.
                                         
                                         And then John Cena comes along.
                                         
                                         John Cena with Julia Roberts.
                                         
                                         And I'm like, Julia, you can sue me after John Cena sucks me off.
                                         
                                         Well, that come full circle, didn't it?
                                         
                                         It did.
                                         
                                         I mean, I've been balls deep in Star Wars.
                                         
                                         Oh, aye.
                                         
    
                                         I have started watching the Clone Wars cartoons.
                                         
                                         Well, animations.
                                         
                                         I've heard they're decent.
                                         
                                         They're really decent.
                                         
                                         They're like short, fast fucking mini stories within the world.
                                         
                                         So all the same characters, but on the same timeline as well.
                                         
                                         So like the...
                                         
                                         You go, sorry, I shouldn't have interrupted.
                                         
    
                                         So the one thing I've...
                                         
                                         The way I've been watching it,
                                         
                                         is that you know how
                                         
                                         there's a massive gulf in technology
                                         
                                         between the 1977
                                         
                                         and New Hope, and now,
                                         
                                         the latest ones,
                                         
                                         right? None of it matters to us, it doesn't matter whether it's animation
                                         
    
                                         it doesn't matter whether it's a fucking puppet
                                         
                                         that barely moves apart from it's mouth
                                         
                                         that isn't even lip synced correctly, none of it matters
                                         
                                         you're getting
                                         
                                         you pretend the world's real and you're just getting
                                         
                                         depictions of it
                                         
                                         it doesn't matter how the story's getting
                                         
                                         told to you, whether it's a cartoon, an animation

                                         about the order I watched them in
                                         
                                         I watched them in
                                         
                                         4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3
                                         
                                         oh that's fair
                                         
                                         because that's the order they were made
                                         
    
                                         and he was going
                                         
                                         watch it chronologically now that they're out
                                         
                                         watch it through and everything
                                         
                                         builds up and builds up and builds up.
                                         
                                         But I'm like, no, I really like
                                         
                                         that you watch Darth Vader as an enigmatic figure
                                         
                                         and he's just Darth Vader.
                                         
                                         It doesn't matter how he got there, right?
                                         
    
                                         And then at the end when he comes good
                                         
                                         and rescues Luke, right?
                                         
                                         And you see that glimmer of light in him.
                                         
                                         It's then good to go back and watch him become Darth Vader
                                         
                                         and see where that light came from also i think also if you start if you start off with the fat menace
                                         
                                         you'll never watch anything star wars again man that's it i i quite like it and i feel like it's
                                         
                                         controversial to say it really is just because jar jar binks is absolutely categorically like
                                         
                                         and i feel really bad for saying this, right?
                                         
    
                                         Because there was a viral video that went out.
                                         
                                         The guy that played Jar Jar Binks had depression for fucking years
                                         
                                         because he got the most amount of death threats in the world
                                         
                                         because, you know, humans are horrible creatures.
                                         
                                         Anakin Skywalker kid too.
                                         
                                         He's the Anakin Skywalker kid.
                                         
                                         Jailbird now.
                                         
                                         He's just fucking fell off because he got bullied for his role.
                                         
    
                                         Aye,
                                         
                                         like the Star Wars now.
                                         
                                         And he,
                                         
                                         I thought he was class.
                                         
                                         I thought he was a child actor.
                                         
                                         Did he just?
                                         
                                         And I think it's a shame,
                                         
                                         it's a shame he didn't get the support.
                                         
    
                                         Aye,
                                         
                                         well,
                                         
                                         but I mean,
                                         
                                         I've not watched it.
                                         
                                         I mean,
                                         
                                         I will go back to it.
                                         
                                         My only problem is,
                                         
                                         not with the,
                                         
    
                                         I'm obviously invested in marvel and harry potter
                                         
                                         this and here's my controversial star wars day i do not think there is a single star wars man
                                         
                                         i've seen most of them there is not a single star wars movie that rates above seven out of ten
                                         
                                         uh you haven't seen rogue one yet then have have you? I have. Have you? Because Rogue One is just a fucking exceptional movie,
                                         
                                         even if that was just its own movie and there wasn't a Star Wars world.
                                         
                                         They just fucking nail the tone and everything,
                                         
                                         and the acting's good, the graphics are great,
                                         
                                         the characters are belted.
                                         
    
                                         Like, Rogue One for me is the best.
                                         
                                         I haven't seen Nine yet because I'm building up to watch the final one.
                                         
                                         I missed it at the cinema when we were on tour.
                                         
                                         And then I'm going to to watch the final one. I missed it at the cinema when we were on tour.
                                         
                                         And then I'm going to watch Mandalorian.
                                         
                                         But now Rogue One because I get what you're saying.
                                         
                                         There's plot holes to fuck
                                         
                                         for days in it.
                                         
    
                                         Some of the acting is a little bit fucking
                                         
                                         meh.
                                         
                                         For me it's just the fact
                                         
                                         that it was one of the reasons
                                         
                                         when I never hugely got into

                                         this idea that it lives up to everything else.
                                         
                                         I just don't buy into it. Like I just go,

                                         I'm glad it exists because we wouldn't have all this stuff.
                                         
                                         Right.

                                         as the Marvel universe is to say that a Nokia 3310 is as good as an iPhone.
                                         
                                         And I'm just, I don't believe you.

                                         I felt like I was jinxing it though,
                                         
    
                                         when people got on with jinxing,
                                         
                                         but by even buying the cans,
                                         
                                         I was like,
                                         
                                         one,
                                         
                                         I don't believe in witchcraft or voodoo,
                                         
                                         right?
                                         
                                         So I'm not jinxing it.
                                         
                                         And two,
                                         
    
                                         I'd rather the deal fell through
                                         
                                         and I've got cans
                                         
                                         than the deal went through
                                         
                                         and I didn't have cans.
                                         
                                         Imagine the deal went through
                                         
                                         and I didn't have.
                                         
                                         It's called the journey optimist. Imagine the deal went through and I didn't have it's called the journey optimist

                                         aye
                                         
    
                                         your dad runs a nail salon
                                         
                                         but only uses his teeth.
                                         
                                         He just bites people's nails.
                                         
                                         Aye, and their toenails.
                                         
                                         I bet this kills it with dough.
                                         
                                         Your dad got his cock caught in the zip of my gimsuit.
                                         
                                         Your dad undresses salad with his eyes.
                                         
                                         his salad with his eyes?
                                         
    
                                         Your dad can't wait for the hairdresser's to reopen so he can get a bob.
                                         
                                         Your dad eats egg and cress sandwiches
                                         
                                         on the bus to school.
                                         
                                         When your dad went to give blood,
                                         
                                         he didn't realise there was procedure to it all,
                                         
                                         so he bust his own nose and started filling the cup.
                                         
                                         Your dad licks his wounds,
                                         
                                         especially his emotional ones.
