Sloss and Humphreys on the road!
Muggins and cream, creaming muggins, straight thuggin', living the dream
That's our intro
Fucking muggles!
Tickling the clit inside your head that makes you laugh
Woohoo!
Hahaha!
They said it can't be done!
Are we in the same seats?
That's hack!
Ah, muggles!
Accidental rim job in the park
Kiss kiss kiss
Or am I just being cynical?
Just muggled it up on fucking Mugglepedia
Where have you been since 9-11?
Hi, friend.
Hello.
Hi, I'm baked and drunk and...
Hi.
It was a Wednesday, wasn't it?
I'm just knackered.
I've got...
Wait.
I've got every right to be,
but I didn't want to be knackered.
What do you mean you've got every right to be?
Well, I got fucked on Saturday night, you I didn't want to be. Not good. What do you mean you've got every right to be? Well,
I got,
I got fucked on Saturday night,
you know,
when the UFC was on.
Aye.
I got properly,
like,
I hung one on it.
Like,
I kept on drinking after the UFC.
Did you buy yourself?
Aye.
I mean,
Natalie got up and she was in a bit of a bad mood.
Because you were still up and drinking.
Wait,
hold on.
So you stayed up,
kept drinking
was there a period
when the UFC had finished
before Natalie had woken up
where you were just drinking
aye aye
right
and what
and what
and what else were you doing
during that time frame
just you know
turning up
and playing on my phone
okay
for like two
bare minimum two hours
I'm going to say
just refreshing
the fucking news
on the Saudi takeover
of Newcastle
you know
I'm up for the morning news
thank god you said
Newcastle
I thought I'd missed
some horrible news
the Saudi takeover
of oh my god
Scotland
so
so I
so she
no no
I've still got questions
so she wakes up
comes through there's her betrothed yep So I... No, no, I've still got questions. So she wakes up,
comes through,
there's her betrothed.
Yep.
It's just like,
so you're going to be asleep all day, are you?
And I was like,
wait, I'll be asleep for a bit.
I'm going to do some sleeping.
I slept a little bit.
Which is fair. You're not like,
I'm just going to walk this off.
At this point, I'm drinking fucking rum.
I've used all the beer, all the wine, and all the gin.
I was still not drunk enough to break into the wine and gin
that were bought with Cat and Woodsy.
That's like team gin, the stuff from South Africa.
That's like, we bought it as a group of four,
and we can only drink it as a group of four.
Okay.
I didn't touch that stuff.
I was still present in mind to do that,
but I did find something wrong.
I mean, that's weird that you brought...
I mean, you brought that up
as if any of us know what that is.
I mean, you've literally never...
Have I not been on about it?
You've literally never mentioned it before,
so you've only brought it up randomly and arbitrarily,
and that just sounds like
you're just trying to defend yourself too much,
to be honest with you.
You brought up something none of us have heard on just to give yourself an alibi i've been whinging about i've been whinging about this for seven weeks have i
not wished to put it to you i don't think so i've got so much quality booze in the house that we're
not allowed to touch have i not had this conversation i don't think so or if we have
oh you know where i was in south af Africa just before the lockdown and brought tons of fucking quality stuff back
and I haven't been able
to touch it.
It's just fucking sat there.
It's there now.
I could be on it now.
Anyway,
back to my point.
I fucking thought
I could just crack on
like normal this week
and I done a 15 kilometre
run on Monday
and a 10 kilometre run yesterday
and I still haven't fully caught up on my sleep from Saturday
And I've
Fucked myself
I've just literally ran myself into the ground
I'm fucking
I'm done in
Absolutely done in
But why did you
Why did you go for the joke?
Because I hung 100 on the weekend.
I wanted to fucking make up for lost time.
And I was like, well, pay your lifestyle tax.
I've always went to the gym when I've been fucking...
But my problem with your...
I agree with your lifestyle tax theory for the rest of the year,
which is if you party and you drink and you eat shit for a bit,
you've got to spend a week eating healthy and going to the gym
or just doing stuff for
your fucking mental health whether that be meditation or whatnot i agree with that in
principle but in a time when all other tax has stopped like how does how on earth does lifestyle
tax still fucking exist when let's be honest you don't have a fucking lifestyle. Right. So I've discovered that it's good to be good at stuff.
It's good to be achieving stuff, right?
And if you just totally stagnate, it can be a bit fucking shite, right?
So I've decided to get back into me running
because it's the one fucking avenue of exercise I can get into.
And I'm pushing me times and me distances back.
And the whole plan this week was to do a 15
a 10
a day off
which is the day
and then a 25
tomorrow
because I'm trying
to get that distance
pushed up
I was going to do
25k tomorrow
that's still kind of
in the plan
and I didn't want
me fucking big session
watching the UFC
to get in the way
with it
I wanted to be able
to just go
I'm still doing it
but I'm fucked man
obviously I did
I did one lap in the
park today
as a jog
and then I
went and
that's just
it my
brain and
my body
and everyone
went well
that's that
was 15
minutes
fucking that
that counts
my brain and
my body and
everyone
everyone watched
me in the
park they were
like you've
done enough
man they're
like you
they were like
did you just
do one whole
lap and I
was like one
whole lap
they're like fucking hell that must be at least 1 one whole laugh and I was like one whole laugh they were like
fucking hell
that must be at least
1.7k
and I'm like
I know
your phone starts
blowing up
I was on the news
my spidey senses
started tingling
I was like
better text daddy
making that
fucking old
World War 2
look like a
fright fucking mug
I did that for free
but I've discovered something I didn't like being tired fucking old that old World War 2 ver and look like a vryk fucking mug I did that for free but eh
I've discovered something
I didn't
I didn't like being tired
I don't think anyone does
I don't have
I don't know if people
are cool with that
but I fucking hate
being tired all the time
I've just spent
all day of the day
just fucking sluggish
I went out for a walk
I still walk with 5k
just to fucking
be on the phone
to me dad and that
and eh
and eh I just think,
even when I woke up this morning,
it was like fucking someone
had put a boulder on top of us
and it was fucking pinned us to the bed.
Wouldn't that have been sexual?
Yeah.
Aye, I cracked a rib.
And I had just been fucking...
That's why I'm like,
I hate being tired more than anything
in the fucking world.
That's why sleep is the number one priority.
Because life when you're tired
just isn't fucking worth it.
It's not worth it.
When you're knackered and life is happening,
the greatest thing in the world can happen and you just don't fucking worth it. It's not worth it. When you're knackered and life is happening, the greatest thing in the world could happen
and you just don't give a shit
because you're knackered.
You have to have had good amounts to sleep
or at least I do
to appreciate the day.
That's why I don't like a lot of people,
you know,
if I was going to wake up for the sunrise,
right,
and I want to really appreciate
the fucking sunrise,
I'm going to bed at eight
because I'm not appreciating a 5 a.m. fucking sunrise. I'm going to bed at eight. Because I'm not appreciating a 5 a.m. fucking sunrise
if I've gone to bed at two.
Like, I'm looking at my watch, looking at the sunrise,
going, this needs to hurry the fuck up immediately.
Sunrise, like, it's not worth setting your alarm for.
Sunrise is all right if you catch it,
but you're not getting up for it, are you? Do people your alarm for the sunrise is alright if you catch it but you're not
you're not getting up
for it are you
do people get up
for the sunrise
yeah
it depends where you are
I mean not in
not in cities
nobody's
nobody's in London
being like
oh I fucking can't wait
to watch the small catch
the sun just right
but I reckon in like
Bali
aye
oh Bali
we're about to be going
there in September aren't we
that's not going to happen is it
that's not going to happen
no
but I feel like
because
you do feel a bit badly
don't you
when you're going
oh like
my ski trip
to altitude
got cancelled
I was going to Glastonbury
that got cancelled
and Bali got cancelled
and that right
but we've had
really fucking privileged lives
as we're travelling
like I even
this year I've just
been talking about
I've already been
to South Africa
and I'm complaining
that them things
have been pulled
fuck man
I really feel for like
my mate Lee
has had Tenerife
booked for 18 months
already
he booked it like
I didn't even know
he could book
holders that far ahead
until he told us
I mean you're really
relying on the country
still being there as well
right we had to cut off
there because Daniel's phone took a call
and stopped recording so
we had a little bit of admin to attend to
and now we are back
I mean I definitely in theory I should just fucking put it on to
airplane mode
make sure it doesn't happen again
But we're just gambling
I just nearly made a fucking stupid remark
I was going to say
we're putting it on airplane mode
I mean we couldn't have this conversation
but why would your landline
have airplane mode
that would be a ridiculous
feature for your landline
if you're taking your landline on the airplane
it's already out of signal
my landline loses signal
in the bathroom so
there's absolutely no way I could get on a fucking Ryanair flight.
And if your house is taken off,
the least of the problems for that aeroplane
is whether it's going to pick up transmissions from your lane.
It's already carrying a house.
It's got shit covered.
It's already a nightmare.
It can't.
I mean, theoretically.
I mean, I guess the only problem is if the landline does disconnect,
how am I going to phone the police?
So, you know, that being a little one of my, I mean I guess the only problem is if the landline does disconnect then how am I going to phone the police?
So you know that being a little one of my, you know when I say I've mentioned on previous podcasts getting complacent and one of them was suggesting that you had your landline on aeroplane mode.
I today, right, so this happened yesterday.
I was playing Call of Duty.
I was like I'm going to put my contact lenses in, right.
I went and got my contact lenses and then I realised that already had my contact lenses in right that was day one that was yesterday right today i put my contact lenses in and made a joke about how i fucking nearly put my contact lenses in while i had contact lenses in
and then realized i put my contact lenses in the wrong eyes right because everything's a bit blurry
and then i take them out and when i take them out I discover I already had my contact lenses in.
So while mocking
that yesterday
I nearly put my
contact lenses
on top of my
contact lenses
I actually did it
while I was mocking
myself for nearly
doing it.
So I mean
so you are just
getting worse?
I'm getting
fucking complacent.
There's nothing
there's nothing
keeping us on our toes.
I don't know
if that's complacency
or genuine
mental health problems
do you reckon?
I don't know I've got perfect vision
so I do not know
the struggle of weak eyed people
genetically inferior people
like Natalie has got
completely imperfect vision
so she
hugely knows the difference between
having our current lenses in and not having them in now one of my eyes is point one one point five
and the other one is 2.75 right and so these numbers mean nothing to me i did it's it's a
small number here's natalie's are 0.6 right 0.6 and over yeah six point something and over sorry
um so yeah i just think
sometimes i've got no routine i don't get up in the morning put my current lenses in
i i don't like putting current lenses in tired eyes i like to wake up a bit first
and this was the first time i was sat down playing on the computer or watching the tv screen and
that's when i usually put them in uh however i'd put them in to read a comic book this morning and
forgot about it oh i mean that's short-term memory loss surely what is it you reckon it's just the mundanity
repetition of your day that nothing stands out anymore oh nothing stands out man everything's
blending into one did i put my contents in did i take them out did i like i there's no there's no happening there's fuck all happening aye
I do feel like
eh
I feel like
if we're
if we're feeling
eh
at the position
where we're like
right I mean
this is getting boring now
like
we're all bored
none of us want to be doing this anymore
I'm getting
I can feel myself just
knowing that basically
in two weeks time
I'm like
I'll probably just go visit my parents
like I'll probably like
yeah you just want a variety
of stimulation don't you
you don't just want the
like I love playing
on the computer
I love movies
no no but I'm already
bargaining with myself
I'm like if I just drive
from my house to my parents
like that sort of thing
if I'm getting like that
while I'm already
while I'm in a decent
fucking house
and you know
enjoying myself
there are people
who are living in
fucking tiny flats
who are going to be
justifying
it at a way greater speed so i reckon in three weeks time everyone will have given up anyway
like the government will just have to just go yeah and i mean it's it's pretty fucked up that
like uh you can go and view a house you can go into a stranger's house because they've put houses
back on sale now like you can but you can't go visit your parents.
So if you wanted to go visit your parents,
they could put the house up for sale
and you could make an inquiry to buy it.
Oh, but I don't think they'd be in the house.
Is that how it works?
Yeah, when you buy the house,
they don't just...
The previous homeowner isn't there
just watching you rip the shit out of a place.
Because when you buy a new house,
you're trying to get a lower price.
So you're just walking around going,
that, shite, that, shite, that, shite, that.
That can't always be the case,
because people are caught in a chain, right?
So you've got to make yourself scarce
when someone comes in and just goes around your stuff.
Aye.
I think that, well, I mean,
every time I've viewed a house,
the homeowner's never been in.
Nah, because my mum and dad were selling their house,
and they had viewers.
Before they sold it to me sister.
Did you buy a house that wasn't part of a chain on both times?
I don't know what that means.
That wasn't part of a chain,
as in the other person is buying a house
and they need to sell their house first,
so they need to find a buyer.
Oh, no, I don't think so.
You end up on a chain
so that you have to kind of move as a unit.
The house they move into
needs the person
to move out
needs the person
to move out
and you be
no I don't
I don't play well
with that
they were like
we're in a chain
and I was like
do not give a shit
on the fucking streets
not my problem
I've already bought you
hit the road Jack
yeah get out of here
go and live with your folks
which I'm sure
a lot of people do
when they sell a house
they'll find to go between.
Yeah, so you can do that.
They've done that thing as well.
This fucking really annoyed me where they said go to work if you can.
Try not to use public transport if you can't.
Obviously, fucking some people can't get to work without public transport.
And then straight away in the news the next day,
even now, there's videos on Sky News on the Twitter page
of people getting off buses, going,
oh, Londoners back to using public transport.
And you're like, they've literally just been fucking strong-armed
back to graft.
Aye, but that's the point, especially like all the,
I mean, this is where I put on my tinfoil hat,
but that's all the Murdoch media
and all this stuff
they want us to be
fighting each other
as opposed to
the actual fucking problem
so that we blame each other
instead of blaming the media
instead of blaming the government
you blame the
your fellow citizen
who isn't living up
to the same standards
as what you've said
for yourself
people were told
to go to work
and now the whole country
is being like
look at these cunts
go to fucking work
like yeah
because if I don't
I'm hoping
like this it's not their fault yeah don't like yeah because if I don't I'm hoping like this
it's not their fault
yeah
don't get me wrong
if there's people
having orgies
in the middle
of a fucking park
let's all fucking
yell at them
but otherwise
it's just
encouragement
man it's fucking
blows my mind
every time
Boris
does a fucking
just spoon feeds
the nation
warm diarrhea
and more than half of us lap it up.
Oh, it's the worst.
It blows, it just says it.
And you just watch, as a human being with like cognitive thought
and, you know, intuition.
And I'm not even a particularly smart person,
but just going like, I've met more than seven people in my life.
So it's not about being a good read-on person.
It's just about knowing when somebody is competent,
knows what they're doing.
It's a shower of shite.
And people that voted for him
are defending him on social media and all that
and saying like, oh, it's quite,
like you couldn't have been more clear.
I mean, you can dissect it as much as you want.
There's nothing clear about anything that he said in the last week, right?
The deeper you look into it, the less clear it is.
But there's people defending him because they backed that guy.
Like, just because you backed him doesn't mean you get...
Like, we backed Conor McGregor, right?
It hurts to go, oh, man, he's a bit of a dick now.
I was wrong.
Oh, that's a shame.
I spent a good three years
that's the problem
with politicians
it's not like that
politicians are not
sporting celebrities
there shouldn't be
teams
they vote for politicians
whether they're
fucking good or not
yeah you should hold
your guy to account
you should be like
motherfucker I voted
for you
step the fuck up
you should be
you should be infuriated
at your guy
if he fucks up
when he's a politician
but it was
i got into a fucking back and forth with my cousin's boyfriend who uh was like anti-corbin
like oh what what would your guy corbin have done in this situation all that and i'm like well he's
not in this situation like he's not on trial here you need to fucking stand by like i was like i i
said to him like you would stand by this guy if he ate live bats and spewed them
in a pensioner's face
because you're pot committed
like just fucking
why are you still
backing this guy
and then
his whole thing
was about Corbyn
and it's not Corbyn
that's up for trial
someone come on
and went
John
I think
I think what you're saying
is that your car's broke down
but you went
imagine I bought another car
and that broke down
like
talk about the car that's broke down.
Fucking people.
I mean, I find it very funny that you're still having Facebook arguments.
I shouldn't have fucking engaged in that, let's be honest.
But just because it was family, even though he's not,
it's like he took us to task on something that i said because
i i'd actually main main was a joke main was saying the fucking um m&m album this this remains
as of when i tried to convince myself the encore album was good you know when m&m started doing
silly voices and that latin like well you mean fac i mean that isn't on the encore album but it
was that generation i was that genre sorry that era of Eminem
when I was defending that
like not defending the album
because I didn't really have to defend it
but I was like still listening to it
going this is my guy
this is his best work
and I'm proud of him
and I can't wait to see the tour show
so that was the analogy I put on
and then we started fucking
trying to have a debate whether it was about what Corby the analogy i put on and then um we started fucking trying to have
a debate with us about wild corbin what i'm doing and shit and then he ended up talking about how
everybody's a professional on um on social media and everyone's like fucking got an opinion that
they've all missed their vocation and i was like dude you're doing exactly what you're saying you
was calling them daves and brendas or something i was like you're doing exactly that's like that's that's what you're doing you're doing that thing that you're saying that you're doing exactly what you're saying you was calling them Dave's and Brenda's or something I was like you're doing exactly that that's what you're doing
you're doing that thing that you're saying that you're hating people doing
this is my vocation I made a joke about a thing
that's happening in the world that's my vocation
so
I mean this entire story makes me so glad
that I'm no longer on Facebook
oh man it sucks a dick man
it sucks a dick that you just have to fucking engage with people
that just fucking blink
I mean do you have to why are you so long what's your excuse blink at the death why am i
on social media no why on facebook particularly oh because i live in london and everybody that i
know and love is in fucking other parts of the world and i i like to just keep an eye
it's the equivalent of blind twitching and just fucking looking outside so you've turned
into the social
media version
of your mother
I have
I have turned
into the social
media of my mother
and fucking
John at number
three was a
fucking bellend
last week
reveries car
engine
the apple
does not fall
far from the
Mac store
aye but it's just a shit...
To go on and see what my nephew's doing,
I have to fucking engage with my fucking cousin's
bellend of a boyfriend.
I just think at this point,
I think you could do...
Not that you can fix society,
but I reckon if you were to just outright fucking
delete Facebook,
delete Twitter, and then while you're at it
also just kill Mark
Zuckerberg just before
he does whatever he's got planned.
I don't know what it is Mark Zuckerberg
has planned, but it's the opposite
of what Bill Gates' intentions are.
Ah,
fucking, it is. Social media is shit.
In fact,
the reason I've been on fucking social media
so much this week is because, you know,
when you have that hangover where
your mind can't really
process anything like a book
or even a TV show
or all of that, like the only programming
level you're capable of
is that fucking infinite scroll
of social media
aye
I've found it hard
to snap out of that
I've found it hard
to snap out of the infinite scroll
aye
that's exactly why
I was going to say
that's why on tour
that's when I came off
Twitter and Facebook
because that is what
I took them off my phone
and the second they're no longer
on your phone
you don't go on
don't get me wrong
there's a fucking
meme website thing
called Imgur
that I'm on all the time
I still spend
I'm not saying I'm no longer
on my phone
but you found a different
infinite scroll
I found a different
but a healthier
a healthier different
scroll
well I say healthier
it's healthier in the way
that
I definitely hate
my fellow man less
like
I feel less in contact
but for some reason
that makes me feel
more
not necessarily more empathetic
but definitely less
fucking ragey
I'm not getting
bite sized things
of people
if I'm ever
consuming somebody's personality
it's because I went out
of my way
to consume it
so it's not
just feeling it's been
forced on me I'm not scrolling through family and then seeing some cunt that I went out of my way to consume it so it's not it's being forced on me I'm not
scrolling through family and then seeing some cunt that I went
to school with saying something and then it's just
niggling in the back of my head I'm not accidentally
seeing shit that pisses me off
that being said
on imagery because I'm not on
Twitter and fucking Facebook anymore
whenever there's a political post
on a like a political meme like
just something slamming Boris Johnson
or fucking Trump or whatever,
I have found myself scrolling to the bottom of the comments
just to get my fix of
fucking I want to be angry at stupid people.
Aye, you idiots.
Just see what the idiots are fucking banging on everyone.
Aye.
I just get fascinated
I just get fascinated
by wrong opinions
yeah
like that guy
shouldn't have even
had access to us
you know what I mean
I shouldn't have
fucking
why am I having
that debate with him
you allowed him to
I wouldn't have went
yeah do you want
to go out to the pub
and have a conversation
with him in the pub
like that
like that wouldn't
have happened
I shouldn't have
I shouldn't have
his little comments
would you give him
your fucking phone number?
I mean, he's got it, because he's in a fucking WhatsApp group.
The only reason I engaged in it was because he was a family member,
but I bet even my cousin was going,
why the fuck are you fucking on Kai's Facebook wall arguing with him?
Imagine I just fucking logged online and saw Natalie was arguing with Kelly.
The opposite way around. I'd be like, Natalie, saw Natalie was arguing with Kelly. Like the opposite way around.
I'd be like, Natalie, why are you arguing with your cousin?
Like, what the fuck are you doing?
I'd start fucking arguing with this buffoon.
Would you not be confused about why your cousin Kelly had also started picking on your wife, though?
Aye.
Oh, no, no, no.
It would mean that you immediately didn't take your wife's side
very telling
to be fair
we've lost the analogy because neither Kelly nor Natalie
took a side or got involved
but it was the equivalent
of Natalie approaching Kelly
because it's her boyfriend
approaching her
you're still engaged
you both fought each other you can say he started it all it's so boyfriend, approaching her cousin. No, no, no, you're still engaged. You're both for each other.
You can say he started it all,
you're on,
but you're both engaged.
And it's so childish,
isn't it,
to go,
yeah,
but it was on my wall.
If you don't like what I've got to say,
then unfollow.
But I engaged,
because he fucking posted everything.
I ended up spending,
like,
having an hour back and forth
with this cunt,
and I was like,
really?
You've got an hour of me life
alright but you
you gave a bit you could have just not
that's what I mean like
disgusting
can't spend time with your kids you
daft cunt
man I'm telling you if I could just delete
delete Facebook and Twitter
just delete the apps off your phone
if you still want to go on, go on the fucking laptop.
I mean, I never browse Facebook.
I'm never on that.
But I do occasionally pop onto Twitter just for some compliments.
I did it, man.
I didn't go on Facebook for the start of the new year
and I didn't get back on until the lockdown.
I feel like this is the worst time to do it.
It's fair enough to want to fucking connect
while you're travelling but nobody
none of us are doing anything
like why, during everyone's
during the most boring time of everyone's life
me for ballon
why are you
why when everyone's life got shit
were you like now's the time
what have they got to say
maybe they just wanted to see everyone going mental.
Aye, and that's when I went on Twitter during the day,
in case I still go on just to see how the world is reacting to this.
When you come off, you don't miss out on the good stuff
because people scream capaday.
Have you seen this?
Aye, you do get, yeah, exactly.
You've got mates being like,
you'll never believe what Soans was just said.
And then if I want to follow that thread
you just go online.
I'm just, what I'm trying to say, guys, is because
I deleted two apps off my phone, I'm a better person
than you are now. And I get to
talk about that.
You get to sit on your moral high halls because you
I do. You publicly came off
social media. No,
better. Only now is it public,
and it's like six months after the fact.
So I didn't do one of those,
that's me off social media,
I can't take you people anymore.
If anyone wants to contact me,
you'll know what I'm...
Not that.
I didn't do a dramatic entrance.
You did?
You don't know you survived the call post first?
I didn't do any of that shit
I just
Irish exited
social media
just a bit
I'm still on Instagram
just because
it's
well
it's the only thing
I plug anything on
but
everything else
I'm just
I'm out
alright done
just pod bean
just
just you and pod bean
I've just been I've just that's the only way you can consume the shit I'm doing Just pod bean. Just you and pod bean. Just me.
That's the only way you can consume the shite I'm doing.
How was your Sunday day drinking?
I missed it.
Oh, it was good.
I think this week I might take my day drinking off
just because...
Because, man, I get fucking smashed on Fridays.
You start really early
because you carry that on going for the rest of the day.
Aye,
so I start drinking at 12
and then it goes on
until God knows what fucking time
in the morning.
So,
I think I might just take a,
I've done it like fucking five weeks in a row.
People can take a fucking week off
and I just have a wee,
have a wee fucking break.
Also,
because I was up all night
on Saturday
watching the AFK.
Oh yeah, I saw you on WhatsApp.
I was chatting to you, remember?
No, no, I don't.
I quite like the UFC without the crowd.
A couple of reasons.
One, you can hear the slap of the punches.
The real thud of the punches
that you wouldn't be able to hear
for the cheering of people.
You can hear the corner menud or the punches that you wouldn't be able to hear for the cheering of people you can hear the corner men
speaking to the fighter
while the fight's going on
not just in the end
like in the
in between rounds
when they're mic'd up
and three
the audience is usually
full of bellends
that boo
when it goes to the ground
oh especially man
like that last UFC
was in fucking
Jacksonville, Florida
which Florida being the shittiest state in America would have had the worst audiences oh especially man like that last UFC was in fucking Jacksonville, Florida which
Florida being the shittiest
state in America
would have had the worst audiences
and Jacksonville being the
absolute shittiest
part of it
yeah
they would have been
a nightmare
that's the only reason
they did it in Jacksonville, Florida
because it's just
that's the proper part
of America
that's just like
we're not shutting
anything down
this is all a hoax
Donald Trump's the greatest
that's why they got
to do it there
mmm fucking God God bless them for
facilitating it, but fuck them for
doing it, it's weird
I'm just like, you're fucking idiots, but thanks
I'll enjoy it, but you shouldn't
have done this
I've never really
I prefer the American UFC crowds to the UK ones.
You know, the times that we've been in the UK.
I found that in the UFC audiences in America and in Vegas,
the big fans of the fight game and they've got fight knowledge,
not just the know-how to fight,
but they know what's happening in the octagon, right?
In the UK, you've got a bunch of people that don't really keep up with the ufc but they think they're hard and everybody's watching thinking it could be
them they're just kind of like oh i would just do that and then do this like they start getting
this like fucking you can set the shoulder stock on up like you can tell people want to fight
in the crowds in the uk you didn't get that in america you never felt like a fight was going
to break out in america but there's a point the the ones in the in the uk you didn't get that in America you never felt like a fight was going to break out in America
well there's a point
the ones in the UK
you're allowed to drink
in the ones in the UK
aren't you?
we took our drink in
didn't we?
I don't know if you still can
it was a while ago
when I was in Manchester
I was the last one
because it's wild
they do not let
British people
drink alcohol
at 12pm
on a fucking Saturday
because they don't trust us to not
kick each other's fucking heads in in a football stadium
in what world is Saturday
night at 7pm going to be any fucking
better
you should feel like that should be a blanket
rule being like let's be real who's
about to get more fucking fighty here
Michael Bisping fans
or Millwall fans
Michael Bisping fans or Millwall fans are the same fans Michael Bisping fans
that's a Google whack
I was going to have
sports on
the Bundesliga's
coming back
the German Football League
and I think I'm going to
start watching that
oh yeah
I've ordered my
Red Bull Salzburg
top
I'm not a fucking plastic fan like you are what do you mean Oh yeah, I've ordered my Red Bull Salzburg top. Hiya.
I'm not a fucking plastic fan like you are.
What do you mean?
Who's your team for the Bundesliga?
Borussia Dortmund.
Have you got a shirt?
No.
Plastic fan.
I'm a little bit of a glory seeker as well
because I've just went for one of the better teams.
You're a cheap glory hunter.
I know, but they've got Jadon Sancho
who plays for England
and they've got Erling Haaland
who's like the best fucking youngster.
I'm fine with you supporting them as a team.
I'm just saying,
where's your fucking strip?
You say you support your team,
you don't have the strip.
Do you support Newcastle United?
Aye.
Do you have a Newcastle United strip?
I do, aye.
Oh, that makes sense.
Right, do you support Dortmund?
Yes.
Do you have a Dortmund shirt?
Yes. Well, don't lie to me
I was looking around
my room for something
I could pass off
as a Dortmund shirt
but then I realised
we're doing an audio
podcast
and a bit
I was just looking
at something I could
like hang up
or like hold up
in front of a Zoom call
fucking cunt
I'm serious
I do think
just treat yourself
to a Dortmund shirt
tell you what
treat yourself to two things
delete Twitter
delete Facebook
and buy yourself
a Dortmund shirt
aye
should I do that
and then get a switch
and have a banana
aye
I've got both of those
well
oh my fucking goodness
I've just realised as well
I haven't wrote your dad jokes
how about that
oh
where are you
have you
yeah
I could do some
throwback ones
like I could just type
your dad into me
into me
notes on my phone
and just go
go to the earliest one,
did some throwback ones.
And we've still got time to cover, yeah.
Well, then don't lead into it.
No, no, I was just,
that wasn't a lead in.
That was just me saying of all the things
I've been complacent with.
Aye.
I'm needing that fucking game to get into
yeah because I started playing Final Fantasy 7
aye
fun for a bit and then boring
aye
and I found that with Assassin's Creed Odyssey as well
fun for a bit then boring
I kind of get away from Call of Duty 2
what am I talking about
Call of Duty Warzone is fucking exceptional.
I enjoy it.
It's just the problem is,
I mean, I'm not going to talk about my internet.
I got hooked to Spider-Man.
I played all the way through.
Yeah, great game.
Genuinely, if there's anyone out there
that's got recommendations for PlayStation 4 games
or even Switch games that are...
XCOM 2 on solo play. I was fucking brilliant. I enjoyed that. I enjoyed that. I'm getting bored. for PlayStation 4 games or even Switch games.
XCOM 2 on solo play was fucking brilliant.
I enjoyed that.
I was getting bored.
I actually completed that
and I still wasn't bored of it.
If it let you carry on
after the whistle,
I would have kept on playing.
So you won.
I think there's some DLC as well.
Also, it's coming out on the Switch,
which will be good
for when we're back on the move.
I think maybe that's my candy then.
I think maybe I'll look for strategy games
for my solo tip.
I do remember the games.
Did you ever used to play old school Age of Empires?
I'm aware of it.
Oh, Age of Empires 2.
There was cheat codes on it
where you could get laser guns and all that
and put you in Roman times, but were like fucking Batmobile or whatever.
In fact, did you ever play the old PC game Black and White?
Nah.
So the whole concept of Black and White was you were a literal god, right?
So you go to an island of tribes people and you're trying to get them, you're a god and you're trying to get them to believe in you. So you go to an island of tribes, people, and you're trying to get them.
You're a god and you're trying to get them to believe in you.
So you perform miracles for them.
You can either do good things for them, like, you know, grow wheat for them and whatever.
Or you can do really fucking shit things for them.
You can, you know, cause floods until they sacrifice people to you.
And you had you got a pet.
I think you could have like a fucking a monkey
or a fucking bear
and if you were
an evil god
it got more evil
and caught fire
and then when it got
fucking good
it had like a fucking
angel around its head
that's
nice
those sort of games
were always good
aye
like Fable
where you could go
one way or another
aye those ones
but also
it's like it's top down
it was Age of Empires
yeah
I mean realistically
what you and I both actually
want is Steam
I mean we should
we should be, I mean you absolutely
should not be on a Mac and I should not be on
something as shite as a fucking
Lenovo. Right so we should get
we should get decent laptops for
when we're away so we can play games on them
like gaming. Well so
obviously the next console war
is Playstation 5 v the Xbox
fridge or whatever the fuck it's called
and
people are obviously talking about
Playstation 5 and how good the specs are
but obviously my dad being a big
big Bill Gates fan, loves Bill Gates
has been reading a lot up on
the new Xbox
and basically it's the closest it's the closest to a computer a console can be
without just being a fucking computer.
Right.
Like a gaming PC.
Like, the specs are very, very close to that.
But also what's more exciting, my brother Matthew,
and this is just a theory he has, but it's not true.
But because Sony have exclusive rights to Metal Gear Solid
and fucking Crysis and other games like that,
Microsoft don't have that many exclusive titles,
but what they do have is Steam.
So hopefully on the next Xbox, it'll have Steam on it,
and that's literally there for thousands and thousands and thousands of games.
Yeah.
Oh, great.
Because I think I might just Google best strategies for the PS4 and get it there, because I think I might I might just google
best strategies
for the PS4
and get into that
because I think
if I'm playing solo
I just want to be
I don't want to be
button bashing
and dive and run
that's my multiplayer game
and I want to be
thinking about it
I want to actually
think it's just more stuff
that stretches my mind a bit
would you know
who would genuinely
I mean obviously
there'll be fucking
I know Rooney and Sid
play a lot of games
so hopefully
if any of the listeners have got any recommendations there'll be fucking I know Rooney and Sid play a lot of games so hopefully if anyone's
if any of the listeners
have got any
recommendations
that'd be fucking great
but generally
talk to Hami
for games like that
he works for
yeah because he
recommended
Baba Is You
on the switch
and fuck man
I had tons of fun on that
there you go
every level
that you complete
on that
you feel like a genius
you feel like fuck me nobody else has completed that level
there you go
that's what I'm going to play
that's what I'm going to download
I've not done Babazoo
Babazoo is great for the Switch
and I think that's what I'm going to look for
for my solo player
not like a linear story game
or narrative arc or anything like that
just because of the last few of them that I've played
even seeing that though, Last of Us 2
is coming out soon
and that's a linear
story arc that you just play through
that's why I'm struggling with Final Fantasy, I'm like
you don't need me to play this, anybody
can pick up the control pad and play this through
I'm not choosing a route
I'm not putting my personality on it
I'm not being stretched intellectually I'm not putting my personality on it I'm not being stretched intellectually
I'm just going through
just put your control pad down
and just let us watch it
that's what this game is
you want us to watch it
with Last of Us, did I tell you
you know the voice of the girl
in Last of Us
you've been in her house
no, is that Matt
Matt Mercer
what's the
sorry
Remain as a name
Brian Foster's wife
oh
was that
Brian Foster's house
that way in
yeah yeah
when I was ham ad
and I was gonna
jump in the pool
right
ah sweet
I had no idea
about that
alright
so is she the
voice actor
for the new one
as well
I would assume so
I doubt she got fired
seeing as she's one of the best voice actresses
in the world
if she did hugely controversial
I can't imagine it would sell well
I haven't played the game so I don't know if she dies or not
the voice actor from The Last of Us
I went in a house, threatened to jump in the pool
with all my clothes on and then fell asleep
there's my claim to fame The voice actor from The Last of Us. I went in a house, threatened to jump in the pool with all my clothes on and then fell asleep.
Aye, I know what you're saying.
There's my claim to fame.
It's great.
Dad jokes?
So dumb.
I mean, if you've got any,
hang on.
Hang on, let's have a little look.
Aye, so has everyone that I've been knee-cracked this week.
Like, I'm fucking, I'm bit.
No, no, no, no.
I think it's, I mean, speaking of Matthew Mercer,
it's what I was saying to Heavenman Marisha Ray
when we were doing our day drinking,
was just there's no, there really is,
outside of murder, there's no wrong way to do the quarantine.
Like, whatever your way of getting through it is.
So if you are just feeling fucking
lazy lethargic nobody is
having the time of their life right now
you're allowed
to have days in fact most days
you should be off your game because
who the fuck is on their game during this
clusterfuck
it's not often I have days like the day
I've just fucking
weirdly knackered like why the fuck am I fatigued but then I can't place it you know I've have days like the day I've just fucking just like weirdly knackered
like why the fuck am I fatigued
but then
but then I can't place it
you know
I've seshed like fuck
lost all my sleep on Saturday
and then
ran more fucking miles
than I've ran in my life
in the space of two days
and also the apocalypse is happening
that's it
and the apocalypse is happening
hold on I'm trying to
I'm trying to find some old
your dad jokes
back in 2016.
Well, I'll start.
Right, go on.
Your dad fashions roadkill into slippers to sell on Etsy.
Your dad strikes matches on his lips.
Your dad considers people who die in car crashes
as roadkill.
Your dad's index finger
is twice the length
of the rest of his fingers
and he uses it
to get grubs out of trees.
Your dad realised
he'd been spending
too much time on his phone
and not enough time
with his kids
so he threw his phone
into the ocean
but then his instincts
got the better of him
and he chased it
into the sea like a dog
caught it before
it got wet as well
then got back on the beach
and just shook his hair
your dad has a
wondering index finger
your dad told me
his million dollar idea
of ice skates
but for the ocean. And I was like,
do you mean jet skis? And then he stormed
off in a huff.
Your dad didn't realise until he got arrested
that you meant to cupcake people with farts and not
shits.
I mean, his way
is better. And it does look more like
a cupcake.
You can see why he was confused.
Your dad hunts wasps with toothpicks like a mini caveman.
Does he throw them or, like, spear, like, jab them?
Your dad's hard drive could bring back the death sentence.
That's just where his thesis for reasons to bring back the death sentence is
and the child's porn
well
that was 40 minutes
hey hey hey there's no
I don't think...
I don't consider it anything a failure anymore.
We pressed record, didn't we?
Aye, we got it out.
We got derailed by a phone call
and I'll edit that together.
Chuck, yes,
I'm going to have a conversation
we're going to have after the podcast.
Let's do it.
Just make up the four minutes, shall we?
Send us your audio file
and I'll edit it together
for these guys to waste their life.
I'll see you on Day Drinking on Friday.
Has he hung up already?
Well, fuckers, I already
hung up. It's just me.
I just have a fucking nervous breakdown at the end of the podcast.
Right, I'll see
all you guys on Friday for Day Drinking
with Danny and then knitting with me.
