Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello. Well, I mean, good Monday if you're a Patreon listener and if you're a regular tightwad. Welcome to Wednesday's episode of Sloss and Humphries on the Road. This week, well, we've kind of changed the studio a bit. We're in the middle of a makeover. So you can see it kind of done. Sometimes people show you before and afters and you can see, oh my God, it's so different. We're not doing that. You're seeing every increment of slight improvement so I do enjoy it if you're on the visual podcast today audibly we speak about
Starting point is 00:00:32 kaisof and stag do-ish kind of and then obviously we speak about abortions for a bit and it's, I imagine what every single podcast of two straight white men has been for this past five days which is just as awkwardly dancing around a topic that we don't know too much about, but we know we're passionate about it.
Starting point is 00:00:51 We don't uncover any new territory, but boy, do we look liberal while we do it. Sloss and Humphreys on the road. Muggins and cream, cream and muggins, straight thuggin', livin' the dream. That's our intro. Fuckin' muggles. Tickling the clit inside your head that makes you laugh. Woo-hoo! Ha-ha-ha!
Starting point is 00:01:07 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 fuckin' Mugglepedia.

Starting point is 00:02:16 off so the reason we're doing a double bill podcast and recording them both today is because I go on holiday on Thursday yes
Starting point is 00:02:23 on what i can only describe as the in-betweeners having a midlife crisis lads holiday that matty just pulled out of his ass matty was just saying oh i'm turning 40 would you like to text this guy do you want to go somewhere for the 40th i was like i'd be up for that i got for a drink with matty on his 40th why not local spoons one of my best pals I'm going fancy going abroad somewhere
Starting point is 00:02:47 I'm like sure let's go Matthew is now organising the Wayne Lineker experience just like he's booked
Starting point is 00:02:56 an ocean beach in Marbella oh god you know the place where like rich Russians go and they'll get like
Starting point is 00:03:01 10 grand bottles of champagne we went to oceans beach is that where we were I was thinking that I think so. I was wondering if it was that one but
Starting point is 00:03:10 I was like Are me fat bald Geordie mates going up? Pay 150 for a bottle of vodka I'll be more than that actually. This is what's funny but it was like I was going to Natalie
Starting point is 00:03:24 often when you walk past these exclusive like beach bars where they've got like resort beds that you pay like fucking 60 to 100 pun to get a bed
Starting point is 00:03:33 and then like more to get a bottle of vodka you look in it's all like very attractive people it's like fucking Jolie Shore like ripped to shreds
Starting point is 00:03:39 like good looking lasses that are potent for Instagram and all that right and you're like oh fucking hell like it looks good in there like now people are going to be whacking by again.
Starting point is 00:03:47 Thank God they've caged them blokes. Thank God they're keeping us safe from them. They've got them cordoned in. Is there any part of it that's like golf? I mean, I'm going to try and swing for that. I know. I'm going to try and swing for that. I know. I'm going to try and... Thanks, man.
Starting point is 00:04:09 I'm going to try and angle it so that we're doing activities accustomed to middle-aged people and not just floating around nightclubs full of posers, which is what I think... You know how Marty's like Marion Young? Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's having her holiday Isn't he Yeah
Starting point is 00:04:27 Yeah Like I feel that Matty He's allowed to go to He's allowed to go to Marbella But it's to You know Play the clubs there You know
Starting point is 00:04:37 Well you know Golf clubs It's to go to the beach It's to You know Go down near the strip We like to drink near the strip it's not to walk into nightclubs
Starting point is 00:04:47 like somebody's dad's brought his mates to beat up some lad that's giving them shit aye yeah how many of you are going? I think there's about
Starting point is 00:04:56 ten of us but it's like I don't I don't get why it's a lad's holiday like why is a me and Natalie not like why is Amir and Natalie not going
Starting point is 00:05:06 why is why like well because I'm pretty sure at one point Matt was like I've had to go somewhere for my 40th
Starting point is 00:05:12 and Amir was like me too and he was like oh I'm inviting Kai she was like you can go and then you were like I'm off on holiday
Starting point is 00:05:23 with Matt and Amir was like, cool, have fun. And then that happened a bunch of other times with a bunch of other blokes. I reckon that's what happened. I don't know why we're having a sausage fest holiday. Yeah. Well, who are the other blokes that are going? And I'll tell you why.
Starting point is 00:05:38 Everyone's married. Aye. Like Sean, Can, lovely lads, Bushy. But like, I'd rather if like the Amy's were there and Natalie, because Brucey's got Natalie as well. We've all got Amy's and Natalie's basically. I'm like, I'd rather we went as a group of 20 in a villa and we had a bit of balance instead of,
Starting point is 00:05:55 it's going to be like a stag do, but no one's getting married. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're just, you're inevitably going to do the things. I mean, Matty is getting married and Can, who's a guest there, is getting married, but that's not what it's been organised as. This is just a 40th birthday. You could spring it on them.
Starting point is 00:06:13 You could be like, hey, congrats, it's your stag do, and then just make them drink shit that they don't want to drink. Minimal effort. Turn up with a shirt. Stag do with the S crossed out. It's safe to say they're not listening to this podcast did it no no i think i just i think matty sometimes does does he sometimes but not often i can't really plan it on this podcast can i then no no can definitely doesn't listen to this
Starting point is 00:06:36 can doesn't no and they're definitely not patrons are they so if the day you get it it's going to be when it comes around wednesday i reckon i reckon you can spring it on well tell you what that's the game. If one of them is a good enough friend to actually listen to podcasts, they... That's the end.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Daddy, I've bought a fucking, I've bought a bunch of shit to put them in. We've got Al... Because it's Can and Matt. They're both getting married.

Starting point is 00:10:02 right so it's it's a stag right we tell you what to wear obviously these the basic just red shorts I have further questions. This is the first question of many. Right, so it's a stag, right? We tell you what to wear. Obviously, they're basically just red shorts where they've got on, right? It's hard to get them to wear them as a joke because they just look like decent shorts.
Starting point is 00:10:15 Aye. But we'll put it as a package. We'll give them up with the fishnet or we'll give them up with a fucking Sunderland top or something. We didn't get Sunderland shorts, so we're going to package it up with that. Yeah. Right? And we're just going to, like, everyone we're going to package it up with that. Yeah. Right?
Starting point is 00:10:25 And we're just going to, everyone's just going to bring some shit to put him in. He's got no idea. He's gone to Matt, he's 40th. Next thing you know, he's going to have his cock on an ocean beach. This is why you need to bring women on a holiday. You need to have balance.

Creepy as fuck uncle. Creepy fuck uncles work. That's my creepy fuck uncle. You know, like you've got fuck buddies and you've got fuck uncles. Well, this is my
Starting point is 00:13:37 creepy fuck uncle. I've got regular uncles that I just fuck on the side. My sister tried to coin the term funcle because I was a fun uncle. Yeah. But now, it sounds like funcle. Your sister didn't. She tried to coin that.
Starting point is 00:13:51 Yeah, well, like how you invented egg fried rice. She thinks she's the first person to come up with funcle. No, no, no. I mean, she tried to make it stick with us. Right, got it. Understood. I do understand that I didn't say coin the term. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:04 I was like, if your sister's walking around and she's like, I'm the first person to put fun and uncle together. Oh, she's the first one to say guesstimate. That's a good one. And it makes that a funnier word that applies to, you know. Guestimate is absolute muggle corner. Yes, 100%.
Starting point is 00:14:20 If I was to bring back muggle corner, guesstimate needs to go in. Well, I think Muggley is to shorten any two things together it's like Brangelina even if you do that
Starting point is 00:14:31 with your friends and we do that with our friends you know casually you know never put Muggle Corner live and rent free
Starting point is 00:14:39 in your head and I don't know if that's just become Muggley recently no but it is absolute Muggle Corner any time anyone's like oh live and rent free in your head I'm like oh And I don't know if that's just become muggled recently. No, but it is absolute muggle core. Anytime anyone's like, oh, I live in rent-free, in your head,
Starting point is 00:14:48 I'm like, oh. You've learned that catchphrase, have you? I know that it's been... Somebody said that originally, and it was very, very funny, and then there was the slave to you that heard it for the first time afterwards, and we all laughed the first time we heard it. And then we also laughed the first two or three times we used it, and then... It's got a whole new layout to it now, because I would say it to you or Cullen the first two or three times we used it and then it's got a whole new layer to it now
Starting point is 00:15:05 because I would say it to like you or Cullen or Gareth or something right just because I know how much it would fucking just
Starting point is 00:15:12 rock you to your corner here that mugglery it's such a yeah it's one of those things where it's a verbal equivalent
Starting point is 00:15:21 of what's wrong nothing no but what's wrong like it's the act of doing the thing is the wind up itself like it's you know
Starting point is 00:15:30 but you seem so angsty you're getting wound up I'm not getting wound up I'm just speaking louder you know that shit Pascoe living rent free I think that's your first Pascoe reference. It is.
Starting point is 00:15:45 Aye, aye. Aye, aye. Just start charging a rent, that's right. Start doing my rent. So it's once a month now and then, you know, aye. Just squat us rates. So also, so I'm going away on a last leg of fucking weird
Starting point is 00:16:07 stag that isn't a stag in between us midlife crisis lads holiday I'll be going on my first family holiday at some point within the next couple of weeks
Starting point is 00:16:15 family holiday but also we won an award last week and I haven't spoken to you about it yet we won the fourth fringe award for the best show at the fringe thanks for going to Collective Yes
Starting point is 00:16:27 No I think it was just Best Artist Was it? Yeah And it's like And it's written on there As that What does it say?
Starting point is 00:16:35 Best Artist Best Artist Best Artist Yeah Because I've won one of them awards before On a solo venture On a solo venture that I did And it was Best show of the fringe 2016
Starting point is 00:16:47 Kai Humphries In full colour So and it was like the same It was like on a board award They haven't changed the brand on the awards So I think I was shocked to have won it for a second time I'm pretty sure it just says my fucking name
Starting point is 00:17:04 I mean mine definitely does just say my name and not the fringe title of the show but it says best show best show I don't think I won best show I think I won best artist because I am obviously it's really awkward because I've been celebrating the award that we won not just as the fourth fringe award
Starting point is 00:17:20 did you know you were going to win it yeah what no I went there for fun Because I did last time I said that Purely to be a snarky dick We did go there for fun Because
Starting point is 00:17:33 Well it was going to be me and Cara's First day Off from like She was like Her parents were down babysitting She got mollered Aye So we had it in
Starting point is 00:17:44 So we turned up to, because it was like, here's a fucking piss up that you can do for charity. And also, you know, you get to fucking dress up and there's an award in it, blah, blah, blah. So we went along
Starting point is 00:17:55 and it went pretty chaotic, pretty fucking quickly because we got in there and we were straight on the bubbles and Cara's not good with bubbles. She can put away heaps of booze, but if it... Vodkas are poison. Yeah. Cara can put away heaps of booze but if Vodka's a poison
Starting point is 00:18:05 yeah Cara can put away lots of vodka but if you put bubbles in her three bubbles will fucking ruin her so we have like two bubbles and then we go can you just
Starting point is 00:18:13 vodka lemonade from her and they're like it's not we don't do singles it's just by the bottle and I'm like oh you know what fuck it
Starting point is 00:18:20 it's for charity even though this is just the bar but that was going to be my catchphrase for the rest of the evening it's for charity, I can do what I want so I'm like, we'll just get a bottle for the table everyone else will drink some vodka, that's absolutely fine and then the guy at the other side of the table Michael, who's one of the producers
Starting point is 00:18:36 at Forthbomb were at his table with Boogie and Arlene and everything, he's like who ordered the vodka? We're like, we'll pay for it it's just they didn't do single ones so we had to buy a bottle. He's like, no, no,
Starting point is 00:18:46 normally this is like a really boring table and everyone's dry here. If you guys want vodka, great, so and that's it. And we're like, no, now we're mortified
Starting point is 00:18:53 because we obviously, we have to pay for this thing because we can't order a bottle of vodka and then have somebody else pay for it. That will make us feel like a dick. And then he insisted, well, basically he and Karen
Starting point is 00:19:05 decided to split the bottle of vodka they end up getting mullered over the course of the dinner, I'm on the wine, I'm on the bubbles early on, I think I've told you this story through text but I don't think you enjoyed it as much as you could have slash
Starting point is 00:19:21 even read it when I put it in the group right, I don't keep fully up with whatsapp groups anymore I've tapped out you could have slash even read it when I put it in the group. Right. I don't keep fully up with WhatsApp groups anymore. Right. I've tapped out of the 600 message catch-ups. So you don't know about this island auction? No. Oh.
Starting point is 00:19:37 I know nothing about this island auction. This is news to me. Right. All right. So it's Cash for Kids, which which is a really great charity in Edinburgh. Forth are always supporting it and raising so much money for them. So this was an award ceremony to give out to a lot of local acts. Callum Beatty was there.
Starting point is 00:19:56 It's a chance for people to go and get fucking cashed in. Comedian or musician? Musician. Really good musician. And then there's tables, restaurants, best restaurant. So all the nominees are there. And you win the award for that best. Teacher was one of them, there's tables of those. And then eventually the public can buy some of the seats at the Usher Hall because there's live music on
Starting point is 00:20:13 throughout the thing, Cal and B plays, all these other people. So we turn up and we're all dressed up nice, and me and Cara are out fully with the intention of getting more. And it starts at 12, so we're like, this is ideal, we can get day drunk. Last time I was there, because I was booked to
Starting point is 00:20:27 perform. And I was performing for free, but it was for a charity, but I lived in London. And me and Gene knew that you were going to get the award and knew you were going to be asked to perform. So we got you stoned as fuck beforehand. And I think you're drunk. There's actually a podcast
Starting point is 00:20:43 in the archives. Yeah, off. From's actually a podcast in the archives from 2016 where we come in drunk from that. Yes. No, no, you come back drunk. I wasn't there with you. Me and Gene stayed at home and you returned to us and yelled at us because you didn't know you were winning the awards. That's how drunk I was. I thought I was with you. Yeah. Ah, there you go. And it was like making the mechanics and Paul Young, They had some kind of renowned artists that your parents loved. It was just you that won it. Is that why you thought my name would also be on your awards? No, no, it was only you won the awards.
Starting point is 00:21:13 I knew that. Right, right. I was making a joke that you won the same award I won, but I didn't have an opening act. Yeah, right. So I was saying it was our award. I thought you understood my mistake. Just what I was doing.
Starting point is 00:21:25 You won an award. So we go to this dinner. I'm on the champagnes. I'm on the red wine. Cara's drinking the vodka. There's a silent auction there. And I'm like, cool. New money.
Starting point is 00:21:37 That sounds fun. There might be something up there that I want. And there's a bottle of whiskey. And it's like two grand. And Cara just touches my knee and goes don't and I'm like fair enough fair enough
Starting point is 00:21:48 that does sound like me and I would be that sort of arsehole but I'm also like you'd probably break it open when you were drunk as well yeah but I also said to Cara I'm like look
Starting point is 00:21:56 this is all for charity this is all for a good thing and also we've not been out for fucking ages I'm like look I'm going to be silly and I intend to I'm going to buy something
Starting point is 00:22:03 it's not about the purchase it's about the money it's about the charity i've never been i've never had money to be at silent auction before allow me to indulge myself like a fucking wanker while i'm at this event when it's quite easy to enjoy yourself being a bit of a wanker um so there's one thing that's uh it's a speed boat pub crawl around Loch Lomond for seven people oh nice right
Starting point is 00:22:27 aye right so they will take you to a speed pole take you one side to a pub get your fucking shit face there put you back on while you're on that speed pole
Starting point is 00:22:34 drive you over there you can drink there there's another pub that's it seven people I'm like that is what me and my friends
Starting point is 00:22:41 all over that is right now it's valued at it says it says sorry here's my mistake. It says minimum bid, 800, right? Now, my dumb ass, my stupid dumb ass, drunk ass, never been to an event like this before,
Starting point is 00:22:55 goes, oh, that's the value. That's what they're doing there. They're putting the value of the item there so that you know what to bid. Because I think it's like you put in a bid and then that's it you don't know if you've won until the end you don't know if you've put in the highest so do you think it's like ebay where like the bids are the bids up to like 850 but if you put a thousand it'll only go up as other people bid no no i clearly think that what it is is you don't
Starting point is 00:23:22 get to know anyone else's bet you only get to know your bet so if you want to win it you have to sort of bid the highest whatever the highest bid wins but it's not it's literally not competing silent auction that's what I think it is so I'm like right well nothing's going to fucking sell for like half of what it's value is like this is everyone's in a fucking
Starting point is 00:23:40 suit here right and it's fourth it's a really big radio thing like everyone in this bit's gonna have money people are just gonna be putting on big big so i bet i think 1400 right on this thing and my bed comes off between dial sauce first bit of the day 1400 on the thing it kind of like did you just bid 600 over the minimum bid? And I'm like, oh, I now know what this is. Like, you have to put the minimum bid down and then that's,
Starting point is 00:24:11 and then you bid that. And then of course, because it's a fucking auction. Of course, it's a silent auction. You actually took all of the fun out of the auction. No. You're like, having that, nobody else.
Starting point is 00:24:19 Yeah, yeah. I just, just double, double it in fucking price. And I sat there going, I'm such a stupid idiot. Like, of course, of course you put the minimum bid in and then you put down 850. Then somebody outbids it, 900.
Starting point is 00:24:34 And that's why the evening goes on for a while. Aha, aha. You fucking stupid idiot, Daniel. So I'm sat there and Cara's like, you are a, I'm like, yeah. Go on, go on, go on. What's the next item? I hope he's didn't boop babies
Starting point is 00:24:45 other things are going up by 20 by 50 some of them are really good some of them are like a
Starting point is 00:24:50 fucking you know a weekend stay at the Monaco Grand Prix and the starting bid for that is four and a

Starting point is 00:26:52 you wanted it that much that you'd easily go and she actually just got you off the hook incredible good agent and then did you buy anything else

Oh, yeah. And you still want to give to the charity. Yes, I, so I did, I did, I did go out, I did start bidding on the whiskey at one point, but then somebody went up to three grand and I was like,

Starting point is 00:29:25 Chill out while you're angry. Have your coffee. I had to go up me lass because you thought I was taking the weekend off for me dog's birthday. It wasn't even me that said it. Cara said that to me. I was going, I was going,
Starting point is 00:29:44 I've never pulled a gig in my life. So I've been with you three times when we've pulled gigs because we were like we can't be arsed with this one today.
Starting point is 00:29:56 Oh no no we've done some we've pulled some gigs on the tour because we're Fred Bear. But like I would have still done them.
Starting point is 00:30:04 And even now I would have. Even now I would have been there. Like, needing blood tests because your fucking stress levels are too high. I couldn't be here. Even now I would have been there. Because I can't... Sorry, you tell your story. I'll tell you... Sorry, you tell your story first.
Starting point is 00:30:26 I'll tell you what happened. And I did pull... I don't often pull gigs, right? But I pulled this gig because I was coming back off your stag and then driving seven hours to Skegness to do a couple of gigs doing that way, right? And then driving back
Starting point is 00:30:44 and then going away for Matty's 40th, right? And then driving back and then going away for Matty's 40th, right? And it was just this absolute fucking luma. Like, the tour finishes, I've got these
Starting point is 00:30:51 weekends away, parties, right? I fucking have, I've just got this fucking seven hour, 14 hour return journey to Skegness
Starting point is 00:30:59 and it's like, me agent books the gig with not our, not my, anyway, I'm getting too deep into it and then gareth had just done it that the weekend before the stag and died on his hoop and in butlins oh for 13 minutes he's booked at 8 20 dies on his hoop for 13 minutes and i'm
Starting point is 00:31:16 like in the middle of me holidays i've got this 40 hour drive to skagness right and that that weekend is a me anniversary weekend. Not when we got married in Ibiza, but when we done a secret sign in the paper, as in London, so that it got officiated. So that we could have,
Starting point is 00:31:33 Natalie hates it when I call the wedding in Ibiza a veneer. But it was. It was the show when, it's the one that we're celebrating stuff. But we had to do the paperwork, the documentation,
Starting point is 00:31:52 the contract at home on the 23rd of june right and it was that weekend and i'm like let's go to clayton castle and book a meal and have like an anniversary weekend in the middle of this instead of doing skagness and like with a heavy heart pulled the gigs from that weekend i've never pulled gigs right but it was looming and I knew I'd be in a better place if I pulled them. Never pull gigs. The next morning, you're like, did he pull a gig? I said, it's Peggy's birthday.
Starting point is 00:32:15 I mean, Peggy's birthday does happen to be on my anniversary. It's very coincidental. You came straight in. Like, if that's how you want to spin it, I'm like, oh, I'm just, I've received some information from Cara. Like, if that's how you want to spin it, I'm like, I've received some information from Cara. Oh, can that leave me professional credibility on the line here?
Starting point is 00:32:30 I'm pulling a gig because it's my dog's birthday. I mean, I did. I did pull a gig on my dog's birthday. Yeah. If you want to look at it like that. Yeah, and that is the lens. But the way I'd like to spin it Is the The 30 minute story I've just told Or you could just go
Starting point is 00:32:49 For our actual You know Anniversary You could have just not The mental health stuff I could have just not made a fuss Could I Made it look like
Starting point is 00:32:57 You'd hit a nerve I remember When we played Southern League football Sean didn't turn up one morning and a good footballer
Starting point is 00:33:10 Sean and Al he's a miss you know what I mean like if Sean's not there like he's due to my side and Al he's going to be right back alright okay aye
Starting point is 00:33:16 Sean didn't tip up because his dog's bum was bleeding and I just ran back and you're not turning up to football because your dog's bum's bleeding
Starting point is 00:33:23 man if my dog's bum was bleeding, you wouldn't see me at football. I get it now. I'm 20 years too late. But I get it. Why was his dog's bum bleeding? Shagging it too hard. That wasn't even. I was asking a genuine medical club.
Starting point is 00:33:41 I wasn't doing an underarm throw. Shagging it way too hard. Not that he shouldn't have been shagging it just doing it too hard it was a girl dog I don't know why he had to do it up the arse
Starting point is 00:33:51 I don't know man probably just an excuse we have probably hung over weren't we speaking of how to mistreat your animals so Ray is now
Starting point is 00:34:01 deaf definitely deaf and also we've reckoned a little bit blind she's on her way out Cara doesn't like that term but she is this cat is circling the drain
Starting point is 00:34:12 we've made her happy she's comfortable how many times have you said goodbye just in case she wasn't there when you woke up oh not that many but let's be 100% real we got this cat
Starting point is 00:34:21 at the start of lockdown 2020 and my mum was like you know you'll get a good couple of years out of her she's like 14 or I think my mum gave her
Starting point is 00:34:31 she's like 11 or 12 years old and then within like two weeks Ray got ill with some liver stuff we took her to the vet the vet was like how old is she we were like 11
Starting point is 00:34:39 we come back three hours later and he's like just to let you know this cat's 14 years old and plus also here are a bunch of health problems we've just discovered. So we thought she was dead then. My mum felt really bad. She was like I can't
Starting point is 00:34:49 believe I've just given Cara who's grieving the loss of her other cat. Last year's cat. Which term that she still doesn't like. She never did like that one. No, no, never been a fan. Are you talking about real last year's cat? She hates it. So my mum's just like,
Starting point is 00:35:05 I've just given you another dying cat. Cara, obviously, because she loves animals in general, but going through this, then attaches herself fully to Ray. And then Ray pulls through. The thing that we think is a tumour isn't a fucking tumour.
Starting point is 00:35:17 And it's fine. And it's, I mean, man, she was meant to die in 2020. It's now 2022. And the whole time we were like she's just got to get us through to the end of lockdown and the lockdown ended and we got out and we're like I'd be ashamed if the cat didn't make the baby
Starting point is 00:35:32 like you know she's been so funny watching Ray and Cara be pregnant and I wanted to meet the baby I don't want photos of this big cat besides this tiny baby she's going to miss Cailin's graduation yeah Cara's like gee if she can survive through the wedding I'm like man this tiny baby knew you were going like she's going to miss Cailin's graduation it's yeah
Starting point is 00:35:45 my point Cara's like gee if she can survive to the wedding I'm like man if you had told us in 2020
Starting point is 00:35:51 that we'd get Rachel the fucking wedding we would have bitten your hand off at the time you'd be delighted and now we're at
Starting point is 00:35:57 the thing where she's still there but she's slowly gently she's still hanging on but you're like stomping on her
Starting point is 00:36:02 fingers let go let fucking go, man. No, but because she's spoiled and she's had... Well, not... She's spoiled now because she came to a retirement home for somebody who loves animals more than human beings. And obviously we've got this lovely big garden
Starting point is 00:36:17 and she's spoiled. She's got three people that live in the house that love her. She's had the best retirement. Four of you live there, bud. One of you doesn't love her. She's had the best retirement. Four of you live there, but... One of you doesn't love her. Wait, no. No, you do have a child. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:32 Living in the basement called Ryan Cullen. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he doesn't understand love at this age. He just knows who feeds him. She's enjoying her retirement. Like, the other day, we've watched her trying to hunt pigeons, and the way she hunts pigeons is she will
Starting point is 00:36:46 hide in freshly cut grass with her tail up as high as it goes while making noises that she thinks are silent because she's deaf but she's just meowing very loudly and the reason the pigeons aren't moving is because they're three metres away
Starting point is 00:37:02 they know she's a fat cunt and they're being like this stupid fat cunt thinks they're being like this stupid fat cunt thinks it wouldn't take her seven minutes to get here
Starting point is 00:37:08 and then they fly away and she's like oh they got away one last time you're not
Starting point is 00:37:14 allowed to give Rae frights she's at an age now where you've got to stop
Starting point is 00:37:20 watching scary movies with her as well if she gets a fright now it's the thing where she could just go die that you've got to stop watching scary movies with her as well. Gara's like, don't. If she gets a frightener, it's the thing where she could just go, ah, die.
Starting point is 00:37:31 Allegedly. I don't know how true that is. But if cats get frightened, it's not good for them. Nah. So you kind of do that cucumber game with them. Nah. You throw cucumbers.
Starting point is 00:37:42 You play dodgeball with a cucumber in a cat. Me and Callum will be playing FIFA right and we'll look at the window and Ray will be going under the gate to get outside which was fine
Starting point is 00:37:52 when she was 14 years old and had the agility to move out of the way of a cat and ears that worked and to know
Starting point is 00:37:59 there was something or knew there was something on the ground now the second she goes towards that whatever you're doing even if it's Caelan you fucking drop him
Starting point is 00:38:05 and you go and grab the cat that's about to be mushed by traffic. Yeah. It's not a busy road. I fucking run out, right? And I'm just, I'm panicking. I'm like, this cat's about to fucking die. It goes out.
Starting point is 00:38:16 The road's fucking clear. She's walking down the road to you going, Ray, Ray, she's walking away. There's no, no. Even if I was looking at her, she wouldn't hear what I was fucking saying. Ray, Ray, Ray. I have to go behind her. Man, when I tell you I was looking at her she wouldn't hear what I was fucking saying Ray Ray Ray I have to go behind her
Starting point is 00:38:26 man when I tell you I grabbed this cat and she fucking jumped oh no man the cat has
Starting point is 00:38:32 literally two days previously been like don't give a fright don't give a fright now what she
Starting point is 00:38:36 means is when I stomped my big ass downstairs to feed Ray in the morning you know if Ray's asleep
Starting point is 00:38:40 on the couch and you're dressed and going like a ghost just trying to freak her out rattling chains You know, if Ray's asleep on the couch. In your dressing gown like a ghost. Just trying to freak her out. Rattling chains.
Starting point is 00:38:53 She's like, don't, you know, scare Ray. Tell her to cuss the petrol. Jeez. She can't drive at this age. She can't hear. She wouldn't hear everyone calling her a cunt or a shit driver. We'd have to get her off the roads. Man, this cat jumped out of her fuck it I honestly felt like
Starting point is 00:39:06 if you'd come round the corner and been like where's Ray I would have been like she's here and I was just holding the fur out
Starting point is 00:39:12 like no fur like her skeleton skeletons just still running on the spot five feet above your neck hold up the end sign and just plumb it into a cloud of ash
Starting point is 00:39:22 yeah yeah but she survived that she survived that and you know what I've been Cara's pointed out I've been saying
Starting point is 00:39:29 that we're going to lose Ray in two months for like fucking three years I'm those I'm like what's the really left wing paper
Starting point is 00:39:36 I'm like the Guardian being like independent Guardian yeah I'm like the Guardian being like there's only six months of the NHS left
Starting point is 00:39:43 and you know they've been doing that for 40 years now she's going to clash with next year's cat well I mean you're going to get
Starting point is 00:39:51 dogs next right well they'll have to be a break because we're having another baby and I'm not I'm not training a baby and a fucking animal
Starting point is 00:39:58 at the same time that's true you've already got a bastard child you don't want a bastard dog aye aye going to wedlock.
Starting point is 00:40:05 Going to make sure it's... Going out on a wedlock. And the other kid's not coming until... So I think we stay off pets until... Until like... Caleb doesn't have to saddle them up and ride them in a battle. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:17 As long as he can break them in himself. There's got to be some level of responsibility. Even though obviously it will just be me that ends up doing everything. It's nice to be some level of responsibility, even though obviously it will just be me that ends up doing everything. It's nice to build the lie first. And you're probably going to have more kids as well, aren't you? Two. Two more, or two total?
Starting point is 00:40:34 Just two total. You might have twins. Oh, no. If Cara got pregnant with twins, we'd have to kill one. She's too small, man. There was barely enough for both of them. Nah, one she's too small man there was barely enough for both of them she's robust
Starting point is 00:40:46 she's durable I mean she's really durable she can take a punch can't she can't I but some people like
Starting point is 00:40:56 some people don't realise how really genuinely dangerous twins or triplets are like I'm pretty sure now if you get triplets there's points where they'm pretty sure now, if you get triplets,
Starting point is 00:41:05 there's points where they'll bring you in. They may become Jedward. Yeah, real bad. And it's your responsibility to kill one of them. Even the other one. You hit them off each other and keep the survivor. Oh, well, you like the way you test, which isn't the best smarty.
Starting point is 00:41:21 Is that what you do? You crush them together. Which is the best one. Which is the strongest, and you eat the weak one I've never I've never pitted smarties against themselves
Starting point is 00:41:28 that I'm trying to play just twins I never played God with my sweets just twins just Irish twins I'm pretty sure I read about
Starting point is 00:41:39 I think it was a woman in Brazil who was like giving birth to like five or six and two months before she went into labor
Starting point is 00:41:44 you don't go sink tablets yeah you don't go to full term in Brazil who was like giving birth to like five or six and two months before she went in to give labour you don't go to you don't go to full term if it's triplets they always make you give, they'll do cesarean at like seven or eight months there because at that point they're always going to be preemies, you'll just explode but I think if you
Starting point is 00:41:59 get to like fucking five or six even before that seven month where they're going to cut them out, you've got to go in and be on your back for the final month because if you're carrying around five or six, your spine and your knees and everything that keeps you upright
Starting point is 00:42:15 is going to die and be ruined forever. Because you're carrying too much timber. Aye, way too much. And also, Cara hated being pregnant. She'd last been a mother but I could really only
Starting point is 00:42:27 get away with putting her through that one more time getting the person you love pregnant is the worst thing you can do
Starting point is 00:42:34 to the person it's the worst thing you can do to someone that you allegedly love it's a real shit thing you get some people
Starting point is 00:42:41 like oh I love being pregnant I'm glowing they're all psychos Natalie's got a god up like don't even fucking try it are you trying at me up oh, I've been pregnant, I'm glowing. They're all cyclists. Natalie's got a god up like, don't even fucking try it. You trying to get me off the stick?
Starting point is 00:42:48 I've seen what it does. Yeah, yeah, it's a real, it's a real, real brutal thing. I bet you can't choose if you have multiples.
Starting point is 00:42:56 You can't, you can, you know, we're not in America. We can, we can, we can still kill kids over here.
Starting point is 00:43:01 Fucking America. Aye. I didn't know how you could go backwards like that. That's so hard and fast. To have less rights than your mother and grandmother is... I saw a horrendously accurate tweet that was like, America's five months away from drowning witches.
Starting point is 00:43:19 Aye. That's a joke tweet. Aye. But that's how fast they've just went backwards. Aye, it's mad. and it's for such a minority, it's for such a minority of it. And it's Trump's elected
Starting point is 00:43:33 Yeah, yeah, yeah Like I was saying, how did this happen under Biden and not Trump and it's because he elected the Supreme Court judges, three of the five. Yeah, yeah, and every time the Democrats have had Trump like how and it's because he elected the Supreme Court judges three of the five yeah yeah and every time the Democrats have had uh when Obama was in he didn't get to nominate his justice in because the Republicans were like yes Shane that's not a fair thing to do in a an election
Starting point is 00:43:56 year and of course because Democrats are thick as pig shit they'll be like okay well we'll play by the rules and then it comes to the Republicans term and they're like we couldn't give a fuck about your term limits we'll do whatever the fuck. And then it comes to the Republicans' term, and they're like, we couldn't give a fuck about your term limits. We'll do whatever the fuck we want. He's going to nominate this person, and that's why it's in now. And it's unfixable, and will be unfixable for years and years and years. Is it voted for by the Supreme Judges that were put in by Trump, or is it like the mass public majority want this to happen?
Starting point is 00:44:27 No. And actually we're just underrepresented as the... No. You shouldn't even be called at the left when it comes to something as simple as human rights. Aye. Right? It shouldn't be called left versus right.
Starting point is 00:44:38 It's like, is the people that believe in the human rights that a woman should have the right to choose? Are they outnumbered so heavily by people who think like abortion? Like, is it a representation of the public's thinking? No, I would say, well less than half. All the stats are that most people in America, over 50%, I think over 60%, are pro sort of choice.
Starting point is 00:45:07 But you've got to remember, the American government system was created in the late 1700s, the early 18th century. And they put all these things in that were meant to be amended because they knew things were going to change over time and they trusted it to not become too corrupt but then it inevitably did. And since then there's been a way to...
Starting point is 00:45:31 I mean, there's a really good behind the bastards on it and it's about how people turned the Republican Party into the one that played to the deep right Christian base because 100% of those people will vote and by making those become Republicans, Republicans even though they wouldn't get normally if 100% of America voted who could vote
Starting point is 00:45:53 if 100% of America could vote the Republicans would never get into power and would not have gotten into power for the past and it shouldn't even just go to a public vote, it should just be women voting well yes, on this particular issue but the way the system is set up is, that's what cherry-mandering
Starting point is 00:46:08 comes from, the Republicans going, we can't win this area fair and square, so what we have to do is we have to make sure that these 60,000 Democratic black votes only count for this much of this portion, and that these 20,000 Christian white votes actually count for this, and this is done at every level
Starting point is 00:46:23 from fucking city level to state level in all the states of America and you've had a Republican party that have basically been planning this for so long, like this is all their deep long plan. So you think if you just put it like a
Starting point is 00:46:38 basic every American woman gets to vote between whether you have the right to an abortion or not. 70%. So you think there'd be 30%, this is just your guess, you think there'd be 30% that are deeply religious, old school?
Starting point is 00:46:56 Not necessarily deeply religious. I think there would be some valid reasons. I think, well, not necessarily valid, but I think people would have those things where they're like, oh, you know, I'm not against abortion in these health scenarios but you
Starting point is 00:47:09 know I draw the line at killing a baby because you don't want it sort of thing there'll be people who are like I don't know the name of it you know
Starting point is 00:47:14 if you need an abortion to survive definitely I'm always for that one but outside of that if you're three months pregnant and you don't want a kid I
Starting point is 00:47:23 personally don't believe that I disagree with that too but there is a months pregnant and you don't want a kid, I personally don't believe that. I disagree with that too, but there is a spectrum of, I think there would be a spectrum of that within it. I think the deep, deep religious, it's murder. Oh, you know what, we are talking about America
Starting point is 00:47:36 so that very easily could be fucking 30% of them. Yeah, true. I listen to Megan Rapinoe just raving off all the reasons, all the valid reasons for getting an abortion, and it's fucking horrendous. Like, you know, when you're saying somebody could have pregnancies through rape or somebody's, like, because of their own illness, the act of giving birth could kill you.
Starting point is 00:47:58 And she just fucking, like, rhymed off. I'm doing a disservice here, but, like, she rhymed off just a bunch of reasons to have an abortion other than even she threw in maybe she's just not in the position to and you did make some mistakes
Starting point is 00:48:10 to get there also for fun for fun maybe you're into it and I was just like it just really put into perspective how fucking harrowing it is
Starting point is 00:48:20 like surely the world has to stand up to that and just go on that yeah I mean because and also the fact that it doesn't mean the abortions are going to stop it means they're going to be unsafe
Starting point is 00:48:32 because you will get probably doctors and nurses who will be doing it because they believe it's something that should be a right so they'll have to go through back channels to make it happen for the person. That will happen, but just not under the right... Surely it gets overturned in the coming years
Starting point is 00:48:56 as this shit that we're talking about now starts to happen, as people are killed by their babies, as people are given birth to rape babies, as people are getting backstreet abortions that kill them surely when that starts happening the people who wanted that to happen go on oh we're done fucked up. Oh like all the times now
Starting point is 00:49:15 when people who are in poverty die and the government goes oh fuck we got it wrong, we'll redo what we did guys, turns out you know doing this things making this drug legal and putting it as a painkiller and getting people mass addicted to it
Starting point is 00:49:32 you know I don't think they'll undo anything nobody learns from the only way this will ever get overturned is if you know there's a second civil war I'm telling you yeah it's a two party system
Starting point is 00:49:46 it's not going to two party system doesn't work it doesn't work this deep into late stage capitalism and you know it's not going to, and by the way this won't change and they won't riot and they won't overturn it this is just the way the world will be for a bit
Starting point is 00:50:00 but they're not going to change their government system without a civil war and I just don't think they'll not going to change their government system without a civil war and I just don't think they'll ever get to a civil war and there's no way to get rid of these elected officials because they've got in America there's no age limit on how old
Starting point is 00:50:17 you can be and in fact there's no term limits so it's like once you're in there you're in there forever so even like the good politicians that do get in and go in with a good heart suddenly realise oh I can just be paid forever if I stay in here long enough
Starting point is 00:50:29 and to do that just gotta make it's always straight straight men pale steel males making the decisions no no
Starting point is 00:50:36 there are some cunty awful women in there and there are some fucking race traitors and some class traitors in amongst the fucking you know greed greed corrupts
Starting point is 00:50:44 absolutely everywhere the biggest switching power would be if Lassus just went aye boycotting putting out we're boycotting
Starting point is 00:50:53 putting out none of none of you are getting laid until you get your shit together that includes me and E none of you get laid and I bet you men start making right decisions
Starting point is 00:51:01 or or porn becomes free but then the porn stars aren't allowed to put out aye I bet your men start making great decisions. Or porn becomes free. But then the porn stars aren't allowed to put out. Aye. Aye. Well. They're all in there.
Starting point is 00:51:12 They're all in there. If you're a woman in America, soz. It was you. It was. Sorry, I was the final vote. I was. I rigged all the things.
Starting point is 00:51:26 I also really, everyone kept saying overturn Roe v. Wade. I'm like, I do have to learn what that means. Probably should go and listen to a podcast on it. I'd say Kramer v. Kramer. I don't know. It could be. I'm pretty sure,
Starting point is 00:51:44 what I think Roe versus Wade is, is the ruling where it came in, from what I've picked up from the internet, the ruling where it came in that it wasn't the state's right to decide whether abortion, it was a country-wide thing. And that being overturned as saying, no, it's a state decision. So that's why states can now get it. So basically deciding that thing was incorrect.
Starting point is 00:52:09 Could there not have been a fucking middle ground where you're going, all right, you come in and apply for your abortion, where you're going, oh, I want an abortion because they're maid killers. When I give birth, I've got this medical condition. You go, all right, yeah, sure. But if you're going, oh, because I'm going skiing in the season and I don got this medical condition, you go, oh right, yeah sure, but if you're going, oh because I'm going skiing, in the season, and I don't want to miss my skiing holder,
Starting point is 00:52:28 and they're going, actually that's not really that valid, because even then, it should be your choice, it should be your choice, but if you were to make a compromise, it would surely be somewhere round about there. Well I mean,
Starting point is 00:52:41 I do think it's just about control though, and I also think man look you've just got these fucking psychos who seem to think that an embryo
Starting point is 00:52:51 smaller than your fucking fingernail constitutes you know a life and so that means in their head
Starting point is 00:52:58 they are doing the right thing yeah and they are like if they man that's why they were cheering that's why they were
Starting point is 00:53:03 cheering that's why they were so happy like it's you know I understand people being fucking really angry at the people
Starting point is 00:53:10 celebrating this because it's such because they're wrong they're so wrong it's such an attack on women and it's such a horrible
Starting point is 00:53:18 but as long as they think they're right yeah then you know then they're right for the they're wrong but for the right reasons they hold right for the wrong but for the
Starting point is 00:53:25 right reasons I don't want to ever give them any credit but if they think it's murder
Starting point is 00:53:32 in their head in their delusional world that they're living in they've just stopped a lot of murders
Starting point is 00:53:38 that isn't what's happened but they think they've just saved the murder of hundreds of thousands of babies and the reason they think they've just saved the murder of hundreds of thousands
Starting point is 00:53:45 of babies and the reason they think that is because they're a group of people who constantly tell them that that was the case and not have any to limit the education on them to believe otherwise
Starting point is 00:53:54 have we just stumbled upon the epiphany that the problem is a lack of education in America yeah well I mean I think you get to any
Starting point is 00:54:02 go to any of America's problems and... It's not an epiphany was my point. No, right. Well, I figured... Well, no, no, no, but as long as you were just aware that it was odd, that's everyone... Mind you, that's our problems here, though.
Starting point is 00:54:17 I think that's... That's when I feel like one of those fucking proper old-school tinfoil hat. I'm like, they try and keep the masses uneducated. Keep them dumb? Aye. They keep them fucking dumb? Like thefoil hat I'm like they try and keep the masses uneducated they keep it dumb they keep it fucking dumb like the school system that I went through
Starting point is 00:54:29 that has to be designed to keep you stupid I didn't come out of that smart I don't think it's designed to keep you stupid I think it's certainly designed that
Starting point is 00:54:40 you know it's not designed to make everyone extremely intelligent it's you know, it's not designed to make everyone extremely intelligent. It's, you know, there's, I mean, well. It's breed and workers, is what it's saying. Well, I mean, it was.
Starting point is 00:54:56 I think nowadays, I think, again, back in the day, like it was definitely that. I think nowadays you've obviously, you know, not that there haven't been these teachers for generations, but I think now hopefully you get more teachers who do it because, do it because if you're teaching now with the wages you're given, like having to buy your own pen, teachers are like nurses at this point where you're only doing it because of your love of the job
Starting point is 00:55:13 and not any of the accolades or the money or any of the shit that used to kind of come along with it. Because I'm only speaking from the school system decades ago, but surely now that the adults who grew up in that school system and realised the flaws in it and created the new one, surely they're... I don't have kids, so I don't know the answer to the question, but surely they're teaching you how to do a tax return.
Starting point is 00:55:36 Surely they're teaching you how to calculate interest rates on credit cards and loans and how to do budgets for your household. Surely they're, in school, they're teaching you skills that are going to equip budgets for your household surely they're in school they're teaching you skills that are going to actual life that you're going to live regardless of your vocation no no no man i didn't learn any of that shit no no like i understand but that's the stuff we need i know i know but just because you need to know something doesn't mean you will like you could teach me how to do my own account i'm not doing my own fucking accountant i'm always
Starting point is 00:56:02 buying an accountant no no no That's a very privileged position. Ah, yeah, yeah. No, no, no. I know a lot of middle class people who have accountants. Aye, but you should be able to do your own tax return. Aye, but some people
Starting point is 00:56:15 just don't want it. It's the same thing, man. I could, I could, I could, you know, you could do certain things but sometimes it's just not what you enjoy and you don't.
Starting point is 00:56:23 So, you know, you can teach people to do tax returns and all this stuff and yes people who were like I'm at the end of my fucking money I will learn how to do that
Starting point is 00:56:29 teaching me how to do a bunch of shit doesn't mean I'm going to fucking do it but this is the difference right you're a comedian that happened to find an agent early doors
Starting point is 00:56:38 and you had a lot of shit done for you as a comedian that's not how most people start their businesses a lot of people start their businesses because they have an idea they get good at something like carpentry.
Starting point is 00:56:47 You get good at carpentry and now you want to become a carpenter. But you have to not just become a carpenter, you have to become a businessman and you have to have your books in order. I reckon that's when you go to a accountant. No, that's the bit where you're going, I might as well just keep on working for this joining company. I might as well just stay in this fucking, have a boss. Because it's not worth trying to fucking get my head around
Starting point is 00:57:07 how to run a business. Even though I've got the skills for the product, I don't have the skills in the business acumen. Teach everybody basic business acumen. That means everybody can start a business off the back of their skills, if they find out they have skills. But that's probably not going to happen.
Starting point is 00:57:23 You're probably just going to stay under the on the payroll of something making money for somebody else with your skills I mean I don't know enough about economics
Starting point is 00:57:33 so I don't know any that's the problem we should know a bit more you could teach me economics I mean that's
Starting point is 00:57:41 you can take a horse to water but you can't make it drink try it absolutely drink that water just fucking mushing it into its mouth by the handful to me economics I mean that's you know you can take a horse to water but you can't make it drink try us absolutely drink that water just fucking
Starting point is 00:57:48 mushing it into its mouth by the handful we always used to think that if the world knew everything that was going on that we'd all be
Starting point is 00:57:54 fucking outraged and we've learned that that's not true we know how corrupt governments are and nobody's doing anything it's very openly like we're all just
Starting point is 00:58:02 being like alright this is just the world we're in and you think if you taught kids how to work out interest rates on loans they'd still get the loan
Starting point is 00:58:09 because the idea of having five grand now even though you've got to pay eight grand back over the next four years or they'd do what most of us do and they'd forget it
Starting point is 00:58:16 five years after leaving high school they'd go yeah go work out the area of that pie oh fuck I forgot I've not done it in years aye because I did get taught how to work out the breadth of that pie oh fuck I can't I forgot I've not done it in years
Starting point is 00:58:25 aye because I did get taught how to work out the breadth of a river by working out the height of a tree yep right
Starting point is 00:58:31 and you don't I still don't know how to do that and that's what they chose to teach us instead of my taxes yeah yeah yeah I'm just saying
Starting point is 00:58:38 even if they taught us the right thing I think you know you get good students and you get fucking bad students you get and that's you know you get people who will come in
Starting point is 00:58:46 and be really good at their jobs whether that's being a teacher and they can find these kids who are really good and want to learn and hope that those grow up into good influential people and hope all the ones that didn't get any of that nurturing and were just born to be shit don't drag too much of the rest of the
Starting point is 00:59:03 world down, which unfortunately they're currently doing Is that the rest of the world out. Which unfortunately, they're currently doing. Is that the end of the podcast? No, I mean it can be. We've got nothing to plug. Oh no, that's not true. Oh, we've got French shows to do. Yeah, I've not. I might be writing some of mine today, so
Starting point is 00:59:17 that's exciting for some of you. Behind the curtain. I think I've got like 45 minutes of my show written. I've got previews coming up in July. I think I've got like 45 minutes of my show written and I've got previews coming up in July. I'll post about them on my social medias, but they're in like Stirling and St Andrews and Kilmarnock. I'm just going to be cutting around Scotland
Starting point is 00:59:35 just trying to figure out the remaining pieces to the puzzle of my Fringe show. And then the Fringe will be on sale all of August in Edinburgh. Sweet.
