Hello podcast listeners
Thank you very much for tuning in to another episode
Where we're just sort of
I mean it's not the Gooch of the New Year anymore
We're just into the new year
But all of our chat is sort of based during that time of
Absolute fucking nothingness
We talk about school nicknames
I'm trying to name my son
And it's harder than we initially thought
We speak about games because we talk about games
and there's fuck all else we're really doing,
apart from being boring cunts.
And then inappropriate turn-ons.
We discuss paedophiles and whether or not they are paedophiles.
It turns out they're always fucking paedophiles.
You know those sick fucking nonsense.
And then some other shit.
Look, hey, if you're listening to this,

Are you not
Why does this Why does this part of the podcast exist?
Enjoy.
Sloss and Humphries on the road.
Muggins and cream, cream and muggins.
Straight thuggin', livin' the dream.
That's our intro.
Fuckin' muggles.
Ticklin' the clit inside your head that makes you laugh.
Woo-hoo!
They said it can't be done.
Are we in the same seats?
That's hack.
Aw, 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?
Are you new yet? Aye.
Hungover? Big one?
Still. Do you not keep it going?
No. Spank holder?
We got
drunk and I got we got drunk
and I
I think I got drunk
and then I thought
I got
because like
so we weren't having a big one
because it's
well because we're all in our 30s
you've got
you've got a
pregnant fiancé
yes
heavily pregnant fiancé
and
recently with child
couple friend
aye
so my best friend from high school
who I am three months older than little Ali he's they've had a kid recently with child couple friend. Aye, so my best friend from high school,
who I am three months older than, little Ali,
they've had a kid who is going to be three months older than our kid.
So I'm just like, please consistently bring your baby around,
just so I've got like three months.
Climatise.
Yeah, absolutely.
And also just get used to it.
Like, you know me, I love babies anyway, right? And if there's, I love normal babies.
And the baby of one of my best friends
is like
you know with Can and Gav
you've already got affection for that baby
even though you don't know them
you just like
you love that child
it's there
it's there
it's written in just the rules
so baby comes round
I love kids anyway
and I'm getting advice off Hallie
because he's going through
literally what I'm going to go through
but also we've got
I think you know Gareth and Cullen there and because I've not been drinking for a bit I was going to go through but also we've got I think you know
Gareth and Carl in
there and because I've
not been drinking for
a bit I was like to
Gareth I was like I'll
drink I'll get drunk
I'll be good and like
Gareth doesn't mind
and because Laura
wasn't drinking as well
because she was coming
late for work anyway
we've got a new board
game which Gene got
us which is absolutely
exceptional and it's
going to throw in a
caveat for people listening to this and this is eight players it's between five and which is absolutely exceptional and I'm going to throw in a caveat
for people listening to this
and this is 8 players?
it's between 5 and 10
but it's better with more players
so if you don't have many friends
this next part of the podcast is not for you
and I'm sorry
Daniel, I know your audience
I do know my audience
this is for literally nobody you're talking to
no, Sid and Rooney listen to no i'm just playing said it really
listen to this i was just taking the piss i was more insulting to us that you have to be super
lonely if you like this podcast i was not kidding i know who you are i see you all uh secret hitler
um it's just the game is called secret hitler it's called secret hitler and in the game there's
a secret hitler and there's a bunch of secret fascists. It's the closest
to
In the Room Among Us that you can get
pretty much. Ah, good. Yes.
That's a great game. Yes, and it's a really, really
good version of that, except
different in its own way. One of you
is Hitler, three of you are, depending
on the number of you, two or three of you are fascists.
The fascists know who each other are. Hitler doesn't know who anyone
is. Liberals don't know who anyone is,
and you're trying to enact fascist policy, liberal policies.
The rules sound complicated, they're not.
It just involves being in a room and being good at lying
and accusing other people, and when you get drunk,
God fuck me, does it turn into a good game.
Even when you're defending yourself and you know it's you,
do you get so committed to your own lie?
Right, so here is...
That you feel affronted that you're getting committed to your own lie right so here is like you feel
affronted
that you're getting
called out on a lie
aye aye
well yeah
and also like
Cara has this
sixth sense
which I guess
is a good sixth sense
for her to have
which is whenever
I'm a fascist
she's like
he's a Nazi
this round
and I can lie
my way out of it
because she does it
so often
that that can be
part of the
fucking narrative
but it's good news
that if I ever start
to lean right
in the future Cara Gareth's going to
be like, he's a Nazi now.
He woke up different this morning.
Just say that last line again. Say what you said.
All journalists should be gassed.
Oh no.
Well, I mean, I didn't say gassed.
I said kilt. The gassed would make it
more specific. But, I mean, you've
touched on a very good point of what the game becomes, which
is my favourite bit now, is to just play the whole game
as a German socialist but with a
heavy German accent
and just be like I love the Jews
the Jews are great how could I be a little
okay I enact one fascist
policy I'm a Nazi come on
so me and Gareth
just do that. You sound like the guy from
Barry. Yeah
God when's the new season of that, actually?
I don't know, but I think I've still got a season to watch.
It's very good.
He's one of the best characters in anything.
Aye.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, to be fair, my German accent is just European bad guy accent.
You know, it's very much James Bond rules with me when it comes to accents.
So we end up
getting quite drunk
playing that game
Ali and
Joanne
leave
because
well I mean
she had a caesarean birth
and that's like a real
legit fucking surgery
you've been through surgery
yeah
it's not like
you've been through surgery
you have been through surgery
no no it's like it
it's like having an appendix removed
it's like having your tonsils out
yeah except you get to keep the appendix.
Not the same, similar.
You get to raise the appendix as your own.
You get to name it.
It's good fun.
You wipe its bum.
Yep.
We've titled the podcast Raising Your Appendix.
So, man, the fact that she'd even come out to hang out, Raising your appendix So They
Man
The fact that she'd even
Come out
To hang out
She came out as gay
After having a baby
Yeah she knew
She was like
Man I do not
I do not want anything
Widened my vagina again
It's fingers and tongues
From here on in
I thought I didn't like
Cock now I hate it
Look what it's done to my body
Man legitimately
Do you reckon that's ever happened
Somebody hated pregnancy so much
they changed sexual orientation.
Well, like, there's none of that stuff with the...
Well, because, man, I definitely reckon, like,
people are born gay, obviously,
but I do think, you know, people that were, like,
just bi, somewhere in the middle on the spectrum,
were, like, pushed more over to one
side because of experience with one gender like i reckon there's plenty of women out there who i
mean it's the it's the old uh the old hack fucking joke of less it was like oh i'm done with men but
i do reckon that's probably true and i also reckon it's true for some guys who are just like i've had
too many shy relationships with women and you know what at this point it's it's cock from here on in love me mate it's it's a practical reason it's not it's not sexually it's not sexually driven it's just look
i'm gonna be i just want to hang around with pal more maybe i'm i reckon he fancies me and it makes
us feel good all right we get to play the same and look i don't have to play just like boring
two-player co-op games i can play like we can play gears of war together i don't have to talk him
into playing gears of war i have to be like oh no the lore is dead good there is a girl i don't like i don't
have to like get him into it through astro's playroom and then the lego games i don't have
to do years of conditioning i could just yeah straight in um here's the dumbest thing i've
ever said and i haven't said i don't think that's true but let's go you know how
we were talking yesterday
yesterday
the last podcast
if you listened
if you listened to
the last podcast yesterday
that is true to you
and you only
when we spoke last week
on the podcast
and you were talking about
how the clit
isn't just a clit
it's like a massive thing
and the bit inside
do women ever get pleasure
pushing the baby out
like I know that's
the dumbest thing
I've ever said
Because it's fucking
Horrifically painful
But is there ever a moment
In that pain
Where I'm like
Oh oh
On that spot
I mean
Oh elbow there
Keep elbow in there
Keep elbow in there
Probably
Because man
You've also got to remember
Like there are some people
That are just
Like into pain
Like they're
Like they get off
On pain themselves
So do you reckon
anyone that's like sadomasochism and stuff if you're in the snm during childbirth is that
pedophilia no because you're not being you're not being turned on by the kid it's not it's nothing
like the kids involved but not in any sort of sexual with the kids but it's the pain from the
thing that would be likely you know if you're if your sadomasochism is
you like fucking
that's like
it's not the blowjob
off the kid
it's the moisture
in its mouth
no
it's the kid's involvement
is the paedophilic bit
no no no
like if you like
if you like fucking
pain in your nipples
right
a needle through your nipples
you don't get turned on
every time you're at
the tattoo thing
being like
why don't you fucking
stick that needle
in my fucking nipple
it's like the vibrations
on the bus
making you have a stiffy
you're not attracted
to buses yeah you don't fancy's like the vibrations on the bus making you have a stiffy. You're not attracted to buses.
Yeah, you don't fancy buses.
You don't fancy the bus driver.
Do I reckon?
Yeah, I reckon.
Because I reckon,
you'd have to ask a doctor,
well, a nurse, a midwife,
because I reckon they've seen everything.
Every doctor I've ever spoken to
is one, obviously,
let's do the clap for the NHSs uh caveat that we have to put in
they're very brave and god bless them all and and they do a job i'm not brave enough to to do
well done all of you nurses underfunded all right now that i've done that bit fucking all of them
are on drugs on the way have you ever met a doctor a close doctor friend of yours that hasn't done
heaps more drugs than you have it's amazing
when you meet teachers and loads of comedians or teachers and you're like oh fuckies have been on
acid the whole time i just carried on your student life and they're teaching us yeah yeah i don't
know if i was i can't remember i was talking to this about the day it's unimportant but like this
generation by this generation i mean years and under i think I would love to know the actual real stats for how many of us have done drugs slash have done drugs regularly at one point in their life compared to all the other generations.
Because based on nothing at all other than just conversations I have with people, I reckon it's three times as many.
Like, I think it's just there was the generation of people that were like oh it's the devil's lettuce
oh and under no circumstance
would you smoke it and you can't be done
this is your brain on drugs with a scrambled egg
all that fucking indoctrination
of all this shit to the generation
of hippies that came before like our parents
where it kind of came in a little bit
but they were still fucking vilified
and they got stamped out
to this generation which is just
where it's the most common thing
that you just assume
that everyone is on.
Like, friends of,
I don't want to fucking name who it is
because it will reveal who their sibling is
and I'm pretty sure they listen to the podcast.
But they were like,
man, there was one time
I was out at a nightclub
and my sibling,
who's like five years younger than me,
like I'm the older brother,
I'm out,
and like she's dancing on the night floor.
I'm like, man, is this the time that I'm out and like she's dancing on the night floor I'm like man is this the time
that I go and you know
go offer a
a line of coke
and he's like
you know what
it's her birthday
you know it's
like she's 21
like I think it's
you know it's
let's go
and he goes up
and she was already on coke
and she's keeping it from him
because why
why would you share it
and again it's just
this more common thing
I would
I love to know the
actual fucking statistics
of how many of, you know...
Because all my friends who are doctors,
and when I say they're doing drugs,
they're not doing drugs while they're on the job,
but they're doing drugs because
they are just trusted to deal with traumatising shit
day in, day out.
Life is hard, man, on the weekends here.
I'm not even on call tonight.
I'm going to get loose.
Why are you drinking?
Seven children died this morning.
Oh, yeah, yeah, enjoy that.
Can I pour a bit of whiskey in?
I'll pour one out for the homies.
You don't pour anyone out.
You clearly need that.
Why did the children die while you were drunk?
Shit.
Because I probably shouldn't encourage it then.
Aye.
I can't remember
how we got onto this.
We,
to excavate the conversation
as we do so finally,
is we got onto
that line of inquiry
from women given birth.
Aye, aye, aye.
So whether they get
actually fucking satisfied
from giving birth
I think is an absolute no.
Right. Well, is an absolute no.
Well, not an absolute no.
I think there's small little things in there,
but I don't think they would ever have admitted it and I don't think the doctors would ever acknowledge it.
Like, these doctors see you pissing shit.
They think it's one of them things that just never gets spoken about.
It may happen from time to time, but it never gets mentioned.
You know, like, sometimes the bong water goes in your mouth.
Or you drool in the bong water. Aye. And are you drooling the bong water yeah i and you're just like well look like let's let's not get it
yeah yeah like if we all really thought about how often our hands probably come in contact with piss
then yeah yeah then it would just be probably a bit yeah like you know when you're the urinal in
australia and you've got your shorts on and you feel it like splashing against the skin of your legs
and you're like, oh, so my jeans are just covered in piss from day to day.
Yes, aye.
Yeah, why do...
Why do Aussies only have pissy toilets on the floor?
What's that about?
The urinals.
The urinals that you don't know whether to stand on it or not.
Yeah, the one with that...
We're talking about that fucking weird cattle crate that they have.
Aye, what's that about Australia?
Some people stand on it and then everybody follows suit and stands on it.
And some people don't stand on it and everybody follows suit and don't stand on it.
But nobody clearly knows what to do about it.
Aye.
Why do you live like that, Australia?
What's that about?
Then again, why do you live the way you live most of the time?
I'll tell you why.
It's because you like the sun and that's enough for you.
Here's a question. oh sorry bookmark that uh you know how um sometimes you wake up with a morning glory still in your 30s i thought it would be gone by now right but i'm 38 years old
now i sometimes get up like i had friends over and i'm like i want to go down and make myself
a coffee but i'm like well yeah i've got a boner i kind of just get up now and walk down in my
pajamas i have to like I go out for a piss
brush my teeth
wait for it to go away
and then go and do my boner
I still
not all the time
not as like regular
like it was literally
a sundial when I was younger
it was like
regular clockwork
you wake up and you go
oh it's
it's 8 o'clock
and I've slept in
I've had it where
I've been at Milo's before
and these kids have ran in
and started like
fucking jumping and running
and waking us up and that
and I'm like
I couldn't get up
and play away
if I wanted to it was fucking horrendous are you not concerned
that like your baby's gonna start crying you've got a morning glory and you've got to go and pick
your baby up and you're just stood cradling your baby with a boner because this must be a thing
that happens to men that never gets mentioned i but i've i saw i don't know about you i saw my
dad's cock fucking heaps when i was young he's a wrecked penis no. No, it's a wrecked penis. Well, I don't know.
Maybe I blocked that,
but I definitely saw like,
because whenever my parents were having showers and stuff,
cause I was young,
they weren't,
they're not locking doors.
They need to be within instant access of getting close to me.
And also from a fucking young age,
my parents would just,
when we got the jacuzzi,
they were just like,
we,
we were not wearing clothes in our own jacuzzi.
And like, because who gives a shit?
So, I mean.
I noticed, like, different, like, families and houses
have different nudity rules.
Some are just, like, full, just free-balling about the house.
And it's not, like, I can't remember ever seeing me mam naked.
Nah.
I'm glad for that.
Aye.
Like, that's not there.
Not that I have a visual imagination anyway.
I couldn't bring it up and recall it if I so wanted to.
What about your dad's cock?
I do mind seeing my dad's cock
because I used to get changed for swimming
in the cubicles with him.
I had to get in the cubicle and change for my dad.
So, like, as I was older, I would change for my dad.
I think if my son were to ever see my right penis,
because I'm sure it does happen,
and I'm sure it's just something that's, like,
you just, your brain goes, don't you don't need this
memory for the rest of your life trust me buddy we'll just leave in that fucking advert jingle
we'll leave that in there we'll repress this i imagine it's like you go dad why is your penis
like that and then you then you that's the dad you've just got this awkward thing like well okay
well sometimes during the night i'm just fucking horny for nothing i just sometimes get horny out
of nowhere go on do chin-ups on it i fucking dare you sometimes it's not fucking horny for nothing I just sometimes get horny out of nowhere go on do chin ups on it
I fucking dare you
sometimes it's not even horny
it's like
Brendan Burns had a routine
he's like
I need a shit
and that's where my prostate is
is this shit pushing
against my prostate
aye I reckon there's
Jim Jefferies has a routine
about his son
just fucking slapped his cock when he came out of the shower.
Like, it happens loads.
But it's like, there is this one thing I've noticed
is there is a contingent of people who are not parents
who think everything is paedophilia.
And there's also a contingent of parents
who think everything's paedophilia.
And their fears, I would say, are a bit more legit
because, like, they're going to, like... Do you think you think some of them are like homophobic people who just haven't
admitted they're gay they're getting thoughts and they're pushing them doing and and spitting
them out yeah they're going you're sexualizing a child there you're like nobody here is sexualizing
the child and if you think that sexualizing a child you've got something on your mind a lot
of the time it's like look it's i don't know if you ever see this controversy whenever it comes up but one of the one of the ones i can
remember was it was uh david beckham and victoria beckham kissing their children on the lips right
and people being like that's fucking disgusting you go right so none of your parents then
like it's bad like teenagers sure right and if you're teenagers if you kiss your teenagers on
the lip i don't have questions for you. I've got questions for your teenager.
And I'm like, do you know your parents can see you doing that?
And you're fine with that?
Cool.
If you blow raspberries on your adult son's belly.
It's questions for him.
Unless you held him down and did it.
And she's like, go on, mum, I love this bit.
This isn't even an intimacy thing.
It's an arrested development thing.
You're supposed to grow the fuck up.
This isn't even an intimacy thing.
It's an arrested development thing.
You're supposed to grow the fuck up.
I saw breastfeeding on a train with a child that was old enough to say,
ma'am, get your tits outed, I'm hungry.
Aye.
And look, I have some opinions on, like,
the age that it's okay to breastfeed until,
but then again...
It's if you can undo the bra or not, there's the line.
And it's still none of me business, but if I wasn't that,
I'd be like, should we probably stop breastfeeding them now
before they're damaged as a human?
I do feel there is a little bit of weirdness
if the baby is able to be like, left titty today, mama.
Not the right one.
You know, that's been bad for the past couple of weeks.
And look, obviously, it's very important that all children are fed
and it doesn't matter if it's breast milk or not
like fed
a fed baby
is the best baby
but aye
I wouldn't want anybody
to feel like
they had to go
and do it somewhere
in private
because of my
tutting and judgement
because like
that's not who I am
but I did judge
the six year old's child
with his new
with his adult teeth
aye
it's the same thing
but I see that
as like
you've not weaned them up it's the same thing. But I see that as like a, you've not weaned them off.
It's the same with a five-year-old
with dummies. You go, right, alright,
somebody's failed here.
Like, there is a, dummies are
until like three or four. Teenager, that sucks the thumb.
That's somebody didn't do your job on the way up.
Aye, a 14-year-old that still says
biscotti. It's not you, buddy. It's not
you, but your parents,
your parents should have been enacting certain parental rules
earlier on
it's on you to fix it now bud
somebody didn't do their job
it's all yours
kissing children on the mouth
is one of those things
where like
man you can't stop a child
like that's what kids think
kisses are
if you're fucking six or seven years
and also
it's one of the very few years
where your kids are openly
going to show you
a fucking affection
and then you've got all these people
in the comments being
that's fucking sick David Beckham kissing his daughter on are openly going to show you a fucking confession and then you've got all these people in the comments being, that's fucking sick.
David Beckham kissing his daughter on the lips.
You're like, you're the fucking pedo.
You're the fucking pedo.
Because what happened was,
you saw a grown man
kissing his fucking daughter on the lips
and you were like, fucking, that's...
Oh, erogenous zones, I told you.
Oh my God, Jesus,
that must be fucking heat.
That's dead naughty
because there's something sexual in that.
You've sexualised it
because you're the fucking pervert
don't project that
onto David Beckham
aye but I will
project on the
the rabbi that
sucks the blood
off a circumcised
penis
oh yeah
I am projecting
upon that
yeah yeah
well there's nothing
medical about that
that's just you
being a fucking
nonce
oh but it's tradition
I bet it's a fucking
tradition
that was just, you know.
Yeah, stop that.
Stop that, guys.
Oh, that's not on.
Bad.
Bad rabbi.
Slap the lips.
So we ended up getting
quite, quite deadly
on New Year's.
Played that game a couple of times.
Played a couple of other ones
and then
I was the level of drunk and I don't know if you do this
but sometimes
I get drunk
than I expected myself to get
and what I try
to do is
I try to convince not only
everyone else in the room but I also try to do is I try to convince not only everyone else in the room,
but I also try to convince myself that I'm sober.
So I do things I think a sober person would do at those points in time,
which for me is often what I'll do is I'll get into my bed and I'll read my book
and I'll just be like, this is what I do when I'm sober.
And they're like, it's nine o'clock at a house party, Daniel.
Stop acting sober in bed with your boob
it's really drunken
behaviour right now
no it's like man
two thirty in the morning
me and Cara got to bed
Cara stone cold sober
right
she's had half a
she's had half a glass
of bubbly
just at the bells
just so she could feel
a little bit fucking normal
but that's it
and I'm up there
and I'm talking shy
and I can feel myself
talking shy
and I'm like
the only way
I can convince her
I'm not
she doesn't care
that I'm drunk she knows I'm drunk but the only way I can convince her I'm not she doesn't care that I'm drunk
she knows I'm drunk
but the only way
I can convince her
that I'm not as drunk
as she thinks I am
is to just keep talking more
and I just
explain to myself
over and over again
and she stops listening
and the next day
I was like
oh god
I was a bit drunk last night
she was like
you said
happy new year to me
nine times
yes
repetitive drunk
I've been really feeling that in myself lately,
the repetitive drunk,
when you keep repeating the same joke,
because I've been hanging around
pregnant people a lot.
At the wedding with Natalie's two mates
who are pregnant,
I was like,
oh, I was such a repetitive stage of drunk,
I must have been so fucking annoying to them.
Whereas you normally wouldn't be conscious of it,
because everybody else is in the same state.
It's like having fucking, it's like having cameras on your night out
you see yourself for who you are when there's a sober person there all right well yeah and it
kind of helps you i mean helps you improve self-reflect self-reflecting go okay i'll try
and not get that drunk again i'll try and um i i was pretty much the only one getting high
at my new year party
because
Matty
sent us some of his
new grow
off just snitching on him
that was fun
I had to bleep that out
fucking what time is it
twenty one
shall we throw that down
yeah please
so I got
I got high
and
there wasn't back in you know how he makes them
glow sticks like you can see the green through the paper and it looks like the fucking it looks
like it's just been doing the back of home i simpson shit and i'm smoking that and it was
like one because a couple of natalie's mates and uh and their boyfriends were there and then one
of the lads come and like had a bit of a talk with us but i got like full-on high and when i was
chatting to them,
it was that level of,
you know, we've done it on the podcast a few times
where you just fucking forget what you're saying
while you're talking.
And the way I got out of it
is I just leaned into what I was saying
and kept talking.
And I was like,
eventually you'll figure out what you're saying.
Oh no, that's the worst.
Oh mate.
No, no.
Because what happens is,
what happens is,
I'd never met these guys.
These were new people in my house
and now they're old people
who you'll never see again
class
class
I'm not even bothered
I'm fucking
they got the best of us
did they
I owe them a you're welcome
you know me
I
I'm not going to overthink that shit
what a waste of me time
no but
I do think there's the bit where
because I hate losing my train of thought
when I'm sober, let alone when I'm fucking high.
So I do try and work out like why I consistently do it.
And obviously it's the drug abuse.
But in other aspects, what it is,
is you're telling a story and what you do is
your brain goes, here's an important bit of information
and you decide to add that bit on.
But then you realise that needs context
and then you start explaining that
and then you've just forgotten what the story is and even if you were to go back two stories
that was just two additional points ago and you're like what am i and what you really just need what
when you're stoned is just if you're going to tell someone a story right you go you get a notepad
right and you go that time kai shot himself and you go can you just hold this on your forehead please aye I'll get back to that
always return to that
so da da da da da
fuck what was this
oh right
so he's running down the street
and every time you look back
at them
but
oh mate
I've realised as well
when I'm talking
because these are just like
it's Pippa's husband Gary
who I've met a couple of times
the last Gary
it was at his wedding
the last Gary
right
and Steph's new boyfriend Aaron
who
her last husband
was called Darren
and now it's Aaron
try not fucking
make that mistake
right
what a minefield
the next one's gonna be called Ron
Ron
and then the next
the N word
so
these guys
they're
from
they're from London
They work
Like the nine to five
Us
They're regular people
We'll probably put them
In Muggle Corner
A couple of times
Yeah
Right
The older I get
I'll let you
Do the story
I
Realised
Every moment
Of my 30s
I'm going to be
In the corner
Ah mate
Yeah
I went back
Through Muggle Corner
because I've been doing
Rewind Wednesdays
obviously when we started
touring again
I didn't have the time
to sit down and do
like listening back to shit
and editing it
because we're fucking
on the move
and we're unpacking
all the time right
I'll reignite it
now that I'm back in the house
but I listened back
to Muggle Corner
and I realised that like
I was talking to me
like I was
I feel like
we were far cooler then
we've really become
dads on these people
aye
our night
aye
aye
we used to be
way more cathartic
I think
to listen to
but
oh god
have we become
the thing we hated
is that
aye
aye
but at least like
let's do it with some dignity
and some self-awareness
I don't think we've done it
with any dignity admit some self-awareness I don't think we've done it with any dignity
admit to a hypocrisy
aye
so
I think we did it well enough
in the fact that we were
very open and we were like
look muggles aren't bad people
so we kind of saved
ourselves that much
aye
but we did also like
were pretty vehement
towards them
aye we were so angry
so I'm chatting to these lads
right
and I realise
how much every one of my stories sounds like bullshit.
Aye.
What, you're the spin doctor?
King of spin.
Your stories sound like bullshit.
This is news to everyone.
I hate this spin.
I hate this particular spin.
It's not spin at all. I can tell you, every time I do this bit. I hate this particular spin. It's not a spin at all.
I can tell you, every time I do this bit,
back at home, Matty's heart heals just a little bit, right?
Goes back together slowly and surely
every time I point at your fucking spin.
Matty's poor, poor damaged heart.
Matty's poor ticker.
Your friends?
So I realised, like, when I,
because it was, I think,
Steph asked us about the charity gig that I'd done
because it was Stephen Fry on and stuff.
Oh, aye.
And then I started telling the story about rolling Johnny Vegas up in a rug.
Aye.
And just in the middle of telling stories, you're just like,
this fucking sounds like nonsense.
Aye, everybody would think that.
And when we're talking about David Schwimmer being at the New York gig.
Aye.
Like, it just sounds like nonsense.
Aye.
I mean, we do make it all up.
None of it's true
brilliant work of
fiction
I was on a
I love my family
very well
oh this is what
I'll fucking tell you
so
you remember how
you and my
gran have a
thing going on
because
me and Jenny
you sent her you sent her a book because you thought she ordered it herself
and it turns out she unordered it, right?
I wrote a nice little message and then she messaged me on Facebook.
I can't mind if I've replied or not, I might have ghosted her.
Well, that's my...
It's because...
Oh, Jesus.
He's nowhere near him.
It's become a big
thing in my
family
because
my aunt
listens to the podcast
but not
my auntie Kim
who we were like
it's definitely my auntie Kim
turns out it was my auntie Sandra
that did that
so we were on the podcast
fucking roasting Kim
being like that's obviously Kim
Sandra's at home
being like oh my god it's not
it was actually me
ha ha
so we're doing a family
Zoom call the other day
just because my grandma wasn't able to get anywhere for christmas because
of covid and she can't take the risk and and uh everything and obviously the the topic of the the
the impending baby comes up and they're like have you have you thought of names and i'm like we have
we've thought of a couple names we've got a list of things that we, we, we quite like his as names and like,
can we hear them?
I'm like,
sure.
And I go,
so three out of our four grandparents,
so that's me and Kara's combined grandparents names were William.
So we're like,
boom,
that's the middle name sorted.
Right.
My granddad,
both my grandparents are called William in some way or another.
One of ours,
I'm like,
and we all love our grandparents.
Each of them class.
So William straight in lockdown
say that
Kim Gisford
and you wouldn't be keen
on it as a first name
no
mm-mm
mm-mm
mm-mm
no
a little bit too
a little bit too royal
yeah
a little bit too monarch
yes
aye
and also
Willie
kids
it's gonna be a kid
yeah
aye
and it's
and Willie is a penis
and it's just a bit dangerous so middle name's fine it's sort be a kid yeah i and it's and willie is a penis and it's just a bit dangerous
uh so middle name is fine it's sort of hidden in there one of the names uh that we we liked
uh was was noah um and i was having not debates with cara but she said noah and i initially said
no and she was like why no and i was like i just don't want any. I'm just a Noah. Fuck you to hell.
I guarantee at least one person laughed.
Ah, you listening back to this.
In four years time when you're doing the replay episodes.
At me if you laughed.
So I'm like, I don't really like the name Noah.
She's like, why not? I'm like, I don't like like the name Noah. She's like, why not?
I'm like, I don't like any sort of biblical names.
And she went, Matthew and Daniel.
And I was like, oh yeah, all right, fair enough.
But you know what I mean?
Like, like Noah's an actual story.
And she was like, Daniel and the lions.
I'm like, could you stop winning this argument, please?
Like, you're making it really fucking hard to die on this hill.
I meant Noah, Jesus and Moses.
I don't like star players
aye come on
yeah
not the fucking bench
but I eventually
came round to it
because I think
that was a very nice name
but then
you found out that
you're a basic bitch
and it's the most common name
in Scotland
that was one of the factors
it's not even one of the most
common names in Scotland
it's like one of the most
popular baby names in the world
but my mum said as well
she was like
just to let you know
the year that I was born Jack was born and Matthew were born they were the most popular names of the most popular baby names in the world. But my mum said as well, she was like, just to let you know, the year that I was born,
Jack was born,
and Matthew were born,
they were the most popular names
of the year then as well.
Well, Jack and Matthew in that way.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Not intentionally, but...
You know what?
Noah doesn't feel that common,
so there must be loads of baby Noahs
that we haven't met yet as people.
It's like that.
It's only in like 15 years
are we going to go,
fucking hell,
there's a lot of Noahs around.
So my mum's like,
it didn't affect any of yous.
Nobody gives a shit. Like, you'll be fucking fine. Name it Noah. And I'm like fucking hell, there's a lot of no's around. So my mum's like, it didn't affect any of you. Nobody gives a shit.
Like, you'll be fucking fine.
Name it Noah.
And I'm like, okay, that's a good point.
You're sort of keeping me on Noah here.
Let's say you're a bully, right?
Go back to your childhood years and there's a...
Noah Willie.
Noah Willie.
Is that what you're not calling your kid Noah Willie?
Noah Willie Sloss.
Noah Willie Sloss.
You can't call him No Willy Sloss
That's what you name
Your daughter
You can't
And I really
I really like the name
Noah
And I can't not
Give my son
The middle name
William
Because I love
My grandad
I can't
I have
No Willy Sloss
Billy Noah
mate
I just
see you still
haven't got a name
time's ticking
just call the
kid Kai
one day I'll
not be around
and it'll be
really sentimental
the problem is
I said
I said
after fucking
Chelsea won
the Champions League
because
like
anybody's gonna fall for that I meant to play at the German Cup I said after fucking Chelsea won the Champions League.
Anybody's got to file for that.
I meant the player, the German player.
He had a flop of a season.
He scored a hat-rick in the Carabao Cup and then in the Champions League final
done nothing in between or since.
I named him after him.
It doesn't matter if he's done anything before or since.
The fact is, he won the fucking Champions League
and I put a post on Instagram
before we knew
Cara was pregnant
she was definitely
pregnant at the time
we just didn't know
she was pregnant
and I was like
such a shame
that I have to call
my first child
Cai
and then three weeks
later I found out
that Cara was
pregnant so
can you recount
the variation
of the name Cai
Cai
no
Cai
huh
Cai-an
Cai-an
that's what I
one of my friends
used to call me Cai-an at school now I think back I's what I one of my friends used to call me
Kyan at school
now I think back
I don't think
they were my friends
Kyan
it was
a son listens
to the podcast
it was Tracy
who you met
down in Guildford
because
the nicknames
I obviously got
bullied with at school
and when I say bullied
I didn't get bullied
that too much
like I think
look I'll be honest I got bullied a bit but I also in red slip check
probably did my fair bit of bullying as well because it was my only form of defense and I'm
not necessarily proud of some of the things I called other people they were funny but you know
kids are cruel and I was one of those cruel kids uh my mum grew up with the nickname because her name was Leslie Roger, Lesbian Rogerer.
Did she get that
at school?
All the time.
Did she manage
to get out of school
before anyone realised
that?
Lesbian Rogerer.
Because I got out
of school before
someone realised
my name sounds
like dry hump cheese.
Oh man,
just on the last day
of school,
you all throw
your hats up in the air.
I pretend you went
to American school.
You go up, you collect your diploma I've got a skull

Ross Noble's mum is like
And now collecting his diploma

Okay the new

Tarkai the otter
Eh?

Lengthened to Kai Bosch,
and then shortened to Bosch.
Natalie Gittany?
Fatly of you.
Fatly of me, aye. Where she didn't know who you were,
and you can't do that.
Aye.
Which is fair enough.
And also...
Because you called it the Fatly and Kai Plumfries.
Yeah, yeah.
And also, it was just... It wasn't because I called it the fat late in Kai Plumfries yeah yeah and also it was just
it wasn't because I thought
she was fat
I will
look the joke doesn't have to
make sense
it just has to scan
and that's why I'll make
like I do have to explain
to people like
I don't mean
95% of the mean things
I say
the reason I say them
is because the joke scans
and I'm just going to get it out
because it scans
I know the joke doesn't work
I know if you were to analyse it
you know it doesn't get through but it doesn't matter it's not for analysis
it's in that brief moment where the joke works it's like a firework i don't care about the
fucking thing falling down or how many birds it kills or how many dogs are crying under tables
in that brief moment it's magical it works let's not overanalyse it. Well, because of that joke,
I managed to get the correct size of wedding ring from the ripple effect because...
The ripple effect of her jumping in a pool fight, can't it?
Sorry, Natalie.
I'm sorry, I don't mean...
You see?
You see, just in the moment, I don't mean that.
I saw she...
We sent you a picture of us
giving you the middle finger
and what we did in Australia
when she was 4000 miles away
is showed the jeweler the picture
and he took a measurement of my finger in the picture
a measurement of her finger in the picture
and expanded the ratio
so that you could get a measurement of me
and then ratio it down to her finger
mad
and I saw you calling her a fat cunt
to help us marry her.
See?
Just because you're not in a conference.
You're welcome, Ali.
You're very, very welcome.
Lang's not really a...
Oh, Wang.
So funny because it's...
Leng is how she pronounces it, right?
And I've mentioned her called Leng on stage before
and somebody shouted back Lang.
I think it is Leng because the I's in there. Ah and somebody shouted back lang i think it is laying because the eyes in
there uh-huh somebody shouted back lang and i was like it's laying l-e-i-a-g laying and they're like
that's lang and like it was in glasgow stand right and i went she's from the men's and they're like
oh right okay she's posh so it's like almost as if she's like saying bath or raspberry
aye it's like hey you ever seen that fucking child's kid's shop that's called
Smith's
but it's
spelt with a
Y
Smith's
not for you
that
nah
would you pronounce
it Smith's
or Smith's
it's Smith
right it's
Smith and I'm
angry at you
right
it's not
right
it's like
one of those
ones where
you've just
you've just
done that
fucking thing
it's Cassandra
with a K
no it's not
your parents
were just
fucking
they were so desperate
To be unique
They just changed
The spelling of a name
That's all that happened
Aye
Ah
Smythe
It's Smith
It's Smith
And just
Just go
Just
You've embarrassed yourself
And your family's embarrassed themselves
For generation to generation
Go to the deed poll office
And just change it to Smith
And none of us
Will mention it again
You just spelled it wrong
That's why people make mistakes
Smythe isn't a name And if it was a name It's a Tory name So off you Go on Get it changed and just change it to Smith and none of us will mention it again. You just spelt it wrong for us. That's why people make mistakes.
Smyth isn't a name and if it was a name
it's a Tory name.
So off you go on.
Get it changed.
Go on now.
Stop being silly.
Go on.
What about like with Humphreys
like you've got IAS
like it's a plural
Humphreys
but then there's the Humphreys
with an AYS.
Like that
that stemmed from
the same name didn't it?
Somebody just got it wrong
and kept it wrong.
Yeah.
For like a whole generation.
Yeah, and then now it's, yeah.
The etymology of stuff like that, like the Smiths and Smiths.
Yeah.
It's just somebody fluffing it.
And I guess I don't mind second names so much because I'm like, you know, that's...
They've been passed on for a long time.
A long time.
Fair play.
But man, ain't he the fucking...
This new generation of...
Is Zach with a K.
Oh, is it short for Zachary?
No?
Yes.
It is.
It is.
You don't get...
Eli, what's it short for?
Nothing.
No, it's short for Elijah.
You don't get to change the fucking rules!
You wouldn't put a formal email with totes in it.
Oh, just...
Emosh.
It's that, isn't it?
You've just done like a totemosh with a name.
I.
Is what you've done.
It's just, look, your kid's nickname can be anything.
Your nickname can be anything you want it to be, right?
But there are names that are,
and by the way, this is a stance that is absolutely ridiculous.
Like the more I have this in public and with people,
they're just like,
but you know, like the names are just noises
that we make to make each other.
Like none of it matters.
I'm like,
yeah,
of course.
Like if you were to look at it that logically,
of course I sound insane,
but it's,
I'm,
I'm,
I'm dead passionate on this point.
It's got to be,
names should be spelled fucking correctly.
I was listening to a stuff you should know podcast on the way here.
It was the one about horoscopes.
And was the stuff you should know that they're bollocks and everyone who believes in them
should be shot dead
because they're stupid
and they're causing
the dumbing down
of the entire fucking planet.
It's pretty much the podcast.
Good, good.
It's really good
but they did say
that they want to do a podcast
on the idea
that your name can shape you
because like the vibration
and the sound
and like how that
like obviously
they'll get into
the debunking of it
but apparently
that's a line of inquiry
Is that your name can shape you
Because of
How that sound makes you feel
Yeah, if you grow up being called King James
As opposed to Gimp Lord
I imagine you're going to have very different fucking childhoods
And different, like
It might affect your confidence as you grow up through life
All you need to do is look at Tom Hanks' children.
Chet Hanks wears a backwired hat and has full sleeves.
And Colin Hanks wears a suit and carries a briefcase.
They just filled their names.
They leaned into their names completely.
Yeah, I figure if you...
So you made it, even with that in mind,
just the social around it.
You might want to bear that in mind
when you're naming a kid.
Like if you reckon I'm going to call my kid Tarquin,
there's just no way he's not growing up a Tory.
Well, that's why you're avoiding Tory names
because you're worried that they're also going to come from money
and you're going to have this like second generation Tom Horton.
Aye.
Because that is something that like I guessed,
I guess white people never have to take
into oh not never but very rarely have to take into consideration is how is this name going to
affect my child's you know like career chances in the future because i know many of my friends
uh non-white friends their parents were like your name is your name is Chris it's Stephen
it's Rebecca
you know
your actual name
your Turkish name is
you know
Kan
oh Kan
all my friends
but we're going to give you the name
Troy
because if you have the name
Kan Edige
you're never going to be given
a fucking job in your life
in the UK
there was a bit of that
when Natalie and Alexander
were named
Natalie's mum and dad
were like
let's give them British names.
Aye.
Rather than Omani names
because on an application form for a job,
they're going to at least get looked at.
Aye.
That was like 80s thinking.
It probably still is alive now to an extent,
but less than it was then
when I made that decision.
Having never applied for a job in my,
well, since I was 16 years old,
I'm pretty sure,
based on nothing other than my gut
feeling and hope that nowadays like it's less of that like i don't think or at least out of the
way i feel the way the world should be is like your gender is not there your name isn't there
yeah like yeah it should it should just be what are your actual fucking qualifications and also
when you're interviewing them you should have to interview them like with your eyes closed
and your ears blocked so you can't hear what they sound like or see if they're a man or a woman and then you
just throw a dart at not a picture just one of them and whichever one it hits hire them
the the girls are talking there i was very high and i can't really remember my own stuff that i
was saying but i heard the girls talking about when because like a lot of them are like in
transitional periods and changing jobs and stuff not Natalie included, when they're looking at jobs,
sometimes the salary isn't on there,
it doesn't open with it.
And then they start discussing the salary
kind of after the fact.
And they still think that this is a way
that they can discriminate women
without discriminating women.
If they put the figure on
and then people went for it,
then that's across the board,
that's what the figure is.
But they feel like they're getting fed a different figure
than a man might get because they might end up
going and having children or they might, like...
Aye.
So they feel...
Like, women still feel, like, they're not safe from...
Eugene, when she was applying for...
When she was getting a new job,
when she was being high-head-hunted by another job,
one of the many many moments
I've been very proud of her
as a person
was all the women
at her work
the ones that were hired
and both
the ones she was leaving
and the ones she was
maybe going to
were just like
here's how you go in
and talk about salary
and this is how you do it
and just went in there
and again
I've never asked for a raise
in my life
because I don't know
who I'd fucking ask
it's not
it's again
it's not something
but men are way more likely to ask for a raise in my life because i don't know who i'd fucking ask yeah it's not it's again it's not something yeah but men are way more likely to ask for a raise hi it's just in there
and except my fucking dad right my dad is such a fucking shy cunt right right i've done it uh
he's he's very very smart right but he's just he doesn't push himself forward for anything
apparently like a couple of years ago his boss walked in and was like what are all these patents
under the company name but i was
like oh sometimes when i'm stay late and work i just get bored and i patent things and these are
just some of the patents and the guy was like you know you've made the company x amount of money
from these and i was like oh cool he's like why have you not asked for a raise and i was like i
can get a raise i get paid like this is god i just I was just here to use the computer
so I think
I think there is also
just a type of person
out there
because man
I
I would be fucking
mortified
that's why I have an agent
I would be fucking
mortified
asking for a raise
I don't think
I would have the fucking
confidence to do it
I don't think
man
the reason
I could
I couldn't ask for
fucking gigs
especially early on
in my fucking
career
I could do the open spots
but
I hear
Netflix
can I
hi
Dino Sloss here
probably not heard of me
just
up and coming comedian
in Scotland
just wondering if
oh god
this is awkward
do you want to have
my Netflix specials
sorry
I shouldn't call them Netflix specials.
They're just specials at this point.
No, no, for no money.
It's fine.
I'll pay you.
I've been dead proud of Natalie
because she's been looking for other work
and trying to figure out what she wants to do.
I've seen her do two job interviews now
where she's finished the job interview and then failed them.
Oh, yeah.
She just went, here's where you failed.
Aye, here's where you're shite.
Here's where you didn't get us.
Aye, here's where you're shite,
and that's why I'm not going to work for you.
You shouldn't have asked me that.
You shouldn't have asked me that, and that was sexist.
Bye.
You made us put a shirt on for a Zoom interview.
You made us go away and put a shirt on
You're like, is this going to affect my productivity
And my quality
Whether you can or cannot see what type
Do I have to stub this fag out, is that what you're saying
For this interview
You want us to stop breastfeeding this dog
Fine, I'll put a fucking tie on
But just so you know
I am done with this fucking job
Yeah
Shove it up your arse
You can't not employ me
I quit
Aye so
She's getting into coding now
Aye
Aye she's starting a code academy
She's gonna be like Izzy Morales
Code academy sounds way cooler
Than it definitely is
Like so much so that I don't think You're allowed to call it code academy Code academy sounds way cooler than it definitely is. Like so much so that I don't think you're allowed to call it Code Academy.
Code Academy sounds like in 10 years time when they're trying to make more money out of the Matrix
and they just decide to put it in and they try to get kids involved.
They're like, okay, Keanu Reeves' son, Brian Reeves, who gives a shit what his name is,
in the new season, Code Academy.
What, so you're not going to buy piggy coin then
you're not going to buy it is that what you're saying you're not going to buy it
because dogecoin was taken you say
uh peggy coin much like it's it's it's not a real dogecoin it's not it's just it's a it's a
cheap fucking ripoff have you listened to that
fucking behind the bastards
one on
cryptocurrency and NFTs
yes
I listened to the
first episode
because I didn't know
what NFTs were
and you were talking about
and this is like
digital art
that can't be replicated
so it's got like
a specific code signature
well it can
it can be
it's a scam
well you just copy and pasted it
you just drag it into a folder.
I'm not sure.
I don't know what I'm talking about.
I've never got into cryptocurrency.
I've never gone into it because it is...
Screen capture it?
It's just...
Well, cryptocurrency is just gambling.
But I know people that are into it,
people that I respect,
and they like it.
But my dad's always been like,
it's all fucking...
It's stupid and it's...
So that's why my stance was,
I'll not get into this. But it's all fucking it's stupid and it's so that's why my stance was i'll not get into this but it's i do think cryptocurrency is astrology for men i do right it's that right
i'll go this one won't be this with that and you're like oh you're all stupid and you're all
involved but fine makes you happy i'll not ruin it the second i fucking saw jake paul because i
follow jake paul or at least when i was on i fucking saw jake paul because i follow jake paul or at
least when i was on instagram i followed jake paul on instagram because i like hate fuels me
and it's important to to remind yourself that there are people in the world that you have to
it's like following trump on twitter yeah you know no it's very important to find people that you hate
in life so that living is worth it to just know the fact that man i might get to live to see jake paul die and that
will be a great day for me right and it might not be for other people probably won't be for his
family and friends people are fucking like but i can tell you objectively on that day i'm gonna go
you won't find forgiveness in your heart when he dies no
no what what to what age why would i harbor it for so many years and then just waste it?
What the fuck? Gross!
That'd be like saving whiskey for 40 years and then going,
ah, gluck, gluck, gluck, gluck, gluck, down the drain. No!
I was doing that when the fireworks were on the telly
because we were just having my New Year
and having a drink and seeing chairs and I look over
and the fireworks on the telly and I was like,
just pretended it wasn't New Year and I was like oh stasher died again she said yes and stuttered though yeah just hey hey it's flown by i said oh life has been
so good since she's died the second i saw jake paul posted about nfts i was like oh it's a scam
The second I saw Jake Paul posted about NFTs,
I was like, oh, it's a scam.
Like the second, I was like, I know all that you are.
And there's just certain people when they get behind things,
you go, oh, okay.
You do that for money, not belief.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I, oh, and it's, anyway.
If you never listened to Behind the Bastards podcast,
it's one that I consistently fucking recommend on this.
And if you- I listened to the Bezos one as well.
First one of that.
If like me, you didn't know any, if you don know anything about cryptocurrency or nfts and it doesn't make
fucking sense to you there's two really good podcasts on it and it will give you enough of
a knowledge that when your friends are talking about it in a bar while drunk you can uh roll
your eyes in a way that makes sense. And it's just good for that.
I find it funny after listening to the stuff you should know about horoscopes
that they,
because you know when you say the horoscopes have changed now,
they're not what they were when they got set.
I didn't know what that was.
So the sign that you're born in is the constellation that's behind the sun.
Like as you're looking at the sun at the other side of the sun,
that's where that sign is.
But because the Earth's on like, it kind of wobbles on its axis they've shifted over the
air so if you're a cancer yeah like chances are now you're a gemini right because when like that
year when that actually explains why when i was a kid like i was actually like just so cool and
chill but now that i'm an adult right when that changed that explains why i've got like two
personalities now because like in the morning I'm a different person
than I am in the evening.
And that only really happened when I was 16,
which, according to the math and science,
which astrology is based on, I'll have you know,
it does make sense for my personality.
Kill yourself.
So anybody that's getting confirmation bias
off the cancer star sign, right, you go,
one, you're looking at the wrong one,
because in 83, when you were born, that was actually Gem looking at the wrong one because in 83 when you were born,
that was actually Gemini,
that was behind the sun,
so you were born in Gemini.
Then you would look at Gemini
and do exactly what you've done there
and put the confirmation bias to it,
which is just like,
it's almost they're proven to themselves
that it's bullshit
by getting behind the wrong star sign
every fucking time.
Everybody that's into star signs
backs the wrong star sign
and gives it confirmation bias,
proving that they're nothing like the star sign they're meant to be.
Aye, aye, and then I can't.
I mean, I know this is...
I do understand because, like, I think...
I don't know if it was Natalie that said it or whether it was just a tweet,
but somebody was just putting out, like,
men make fun of women for being into star signs
when we're into so much other boring dumb shit.
And it's like, man, if it's just something you're into because you like it fucking fair enough
but some of you fucking cunts legitimately and wholeheartedly believe it and that's what
fills me with rage it's the same rage i feel towards anyone that genuinely believes in god
that was natalie with the horoscopes because we had gavin alley around and they were like talking natalie's language horoscopes right but when the left she was like
i don't really believe it it's like for her that was like she enjoys watching the wrestling
and then two people come around and talk about it like it's cage fighting
i just i just think like like the attitude you know was really good that's not that's not I know it's not real I know it's not real
I just
I just think like
like
the attitude here
was really good
Stokehold C. Vossen
face off against the Rock
the Rock
defined me childhood
oh
create your chair
it's my job
we're gonna get into
Gloomhaven again
I'm dead excited
I'm fucking excited about this game now.
I love it so much.
There's a digital version,
which we're going to stay away from with this group
because we'll all live close enough to play it on the board
and we'll keep the romance of it and play it on the board,
but we need to get a game going with Elliot and Tom.
Remember we had Dungeons & Dragons over Zoom?
I think we need to take Gloomhaven online
so we can play it more.
Aye, but yeah.
Or do it with Frosthaven.
Because if it's the same scenarios...
Spoilers.
There's got to be spoilers in the game.
Okay, so like a second playthrough.
Aye.
Or maybe once we're like fucking 30
into this campaign
then we can
like delay it then
it's like when I was
doing multiple
D&D sessions
I would do one group
for like
10 sessions
as the DM
and then start another group
and it's like right
because you can now
go a different way
you can do it
in a different enough way
there's enough separation
aye
aye so just to
everybody listening
if you heard we're talking about Gloomhaven
in the last couple
episodes and you
want to play it
but like you just
can't figure it out
with your busy life
you can play it
digitally now
and if you don't
have any friends
which we know you
don't
you can play it
solo
you can
you can play it
solo you can have
a wee fucking
solo masturbation
sesh
and I'm going to
do a computer
game recommendation
while we're here
Hades
Gareth's been
speaking about this
for ages I heard it off I heard it first off. Hades. Gareth's been speaking about this for ages.
I heard it off,
I heard it first off Rooney
and then Gareth mentioned it.
Wayne Rooney,
he thought I was Kai Rooney.
He got us in for Christmas
dead on one.
Man, so good.
And you would just
sound a bit like,
what are you,
another Switch?
So,
I, Hades,
is fucking remarkable. I am a platinum God of War 4. I? switch so I hate this it's fucking
remarkable
I am
a platinum
god of
war 4
I
platinum
that's a
big achievement
you don't
want to turn
38 and not
still get
fucking
hard over
platinum in
games
what was
that we were
just saying
about how
men
there's an
equivalent
for astrology
for men
some stupid
belief system
that ultimately
doesn't matter
but fills somebody with
when you get platinum
on a playstation game
here we go
I've only gotten it twice
right
horizon zero dawn
superb game
right
the new one comes out soon
so fucking
get in that
god of war
right
it's the only two
that I've platinum
have you ever platinumed a game
yes
have you seen how
underwhelming it is yes oh it's the worst I that I've platinumed. Have you ever platinumed a game? Yes. Have you seen how underwhelming it is?
Yes.
Oh, it's the worst.
I think I've only platinumed one game
and that's why I stopped.
Ah.
It's because...
No party pop.
For anyone that doesn't know,
platinum just means
when you buy a game on Xbox or PlayStation
or PC or whatever it is,
there's a bunch of achievements you can do.
So even when you complete the game,
technically you've only completed 55% of the game.
You've done the campaign.
You've completed the story.
Yeah, but you've not completed 55% of the game. You've done the campaign. You've completed the story. Yeah, but you've not done it
on the hardest difficulty.
You've not killed four men
with one bullet.
You've not had a grenade
go round a corner
and destroy a plane.
You haven't shot all of the hidden ravens
that are dotted around the map.
You haven't killed all the Valkyries.
Yeah, so platinum,
much like being a platinum gay,
means you've got all the achievements
and you've never touched a vagina.
much like being a platinum gay means you've got all the achievements
and you've never touched a vagina.
So when you platinum a game,
it means you put so much effort into it,
you couldn't even describe what a vagina looked like
because it's been so long.
You couldn't draw it from memory.
After a guy platinumed the game,
he got into bed and Natalie tried to touch his clock
And he had no idea
What was going on
I was like who are you
What is that
God of War
Was a specifically hard one
Because
Beating all the Valkyries
Is like
That's 11 bosses
To make one final boss
That takes all day
Does he kiss his son on the lips
In God of War
Atreus Boy Give me his son on the lips in God of War
Atreus
boy
give me a kiss on the lips
boy
people may at home
be like
fucking what a pedo this is
he's a sick man he is
he's just
go and cut that cutscene back again
just so I can see
what a fucking pedo this guy is
while he kisses his son on the lips
in a fucking nonce
oh yeah
right here boy
so
like I complete the story mode so you get the cutscene you get the bit where like Thor makes an appearance oh yeah right here boy so like
I complete the story mode
so you get the cut scene
you get the bit where like
Thor makes an appearance
who's not in the thing
but he's going to be in
Ragnarok the next one
so you get all the fanfare
from doing the story mode
and then
on the extra
I've been dating for months
just going back
and chipping away at it
playing all the games in between
right
and then I fucking
it was the Ravens
I was at 97%
I needed to get the Ravens
right I found the last Raven
I shot the last Raven
and then it just flashed up
in the top corner of the screen
father and son achievement
that's what they called it
on that one
platinum
and it fades away
from the screen
and you're just left
stood there
feathers everywhere
what they should do
is just turn your television off
and just show you
your own reflection
and you're like
oh no
it's like the guilt after a wank.
It's like you're stood there
with a fucking messy hanky in your
hand and you're still hard but not horny.
You need to wash your hands before you
shake hands with a sound
tick at the kick. I don't think I can tell anyone
about what I just did.
It felt good at the time but I don't think I can
ever boast about this.
I did boast about it.
I whacked through the snare hands of me,
in my hoodie pocket,
kicking and I just plaited him and got a wall.
And Natalie knew how much she meant to do it
and feigned excitement for us and gave us a hug.
That's a good wife.
She was like, oh, baby.
Daniel, I'm telling you right now it meant a lot I'd put a lot of hard work in and it was a very it was a very lonely effort and you've got the fight after this after she
bless her face all this excitement for your achievement you've got the fucking
gall to be like I'm'm going to listen to a podcast
about how this bitch's hobby's bullshit.
And then I'm going to go to my podcast
and I'm going to fucking slam the thick out.
Justify mine.
So, aye.
I recommend Hades.
I've just done that
We talked about Spirit Bridge last one
I'll come on
Because we've got leisure time now
We can come on with recommendations
For what we've been doing in Malaysia
We do have two shows this month
Just Cambridge and Aberdeen
There's been some confusion on the website
About when the Aberdeen date is
Because on my website it says one date
And on my schedule it says another
So allow me to just go into my messages from Marlena.
So it's on Thursday the 27th of January,
if you're coming to the Aberdeen gig.
It's Thursday the 27th on the website.
It was down as Friday the 28th,
but it's not.
Which one is it?
Aberdeen.
No, which date?
It's the 27th.
It's the 27th.
It's the 27th. It's the 27th. It's the 27th.
95% certain on that one.
So we're picking up the gigs that have been dropped,
Aberdeen and Cambridge.
There is still some other ones that are being figured out.
Just being rescheduled.
And look, to everyone,
the reschedules are as annoying and as devastating to us as it is to you.
I know it's not fucking fun for things to be cancelled
or to be delayed so much when you bought them so long ago
and it's just perpetually and consistently put further away.
Also, to the people of Perth, Australia,
sorry that was finally cancelled,
but there was no way I was getting over to Australia.
With a newborn.
With a newborn.
There's just not a chance.
Not with the rules of getting over there
and coming back.
It's just not possible.
So I promise I'll be back to Perth
on the next tour.
I will be back to stand up in no time.
There'll be shit happening.
Just not in January.
We're going to be playing a lot of PlayStation
and watching a lot of films.
And playing a lot of Gloomhaven.
Let's go back to Cullum.
Let's go back to Cullum.
