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
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.
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!
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.
Where have you been since 9-11?
So we're doing a double podcast record.
Yes.
We've just had Gene on for the bonus episode on Thursday. Yeah. And we're doing A double podcast record Yes We've just had Gene on
For the bonus episode
On Thursday
Yeah
And we're doing
Mondays now
Yeah
So this will be
Hot off the press
And
Anyone that's watching
On
Visuals
Which again
We're just going to keep
Pushing you towards that
Because that's where
The big bucks is
I'm assured
We've moved
The table
To a different part of the room
this is progress isn't it
oh
still not that second camera angle we spoke
about but hey
5% of the way in our direction
isn't it and the room's still a mess but all the mess
is on that side you can't see it you couldn't see it before
can't see it now but you know
we've got not more wall to decorate
now we've got windows've got more wall to decorate now we've got windows
the majority of people
are listening
yeah look
are you bored
of our chat
open the window
look outside
there you go
nice isn't it
now they're just
getting
Danny they're just
trying to get glare
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
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
I'm like
sure let's go
Matthew
is now organising
the Wayne Lineker
experience
just like
he's booked
an ocean beach
in Marbella
oh god
you know the place
where like
rich Russians
go and they'll
get like
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
Yes,
it's one of their
stag do's.
And,
Can,
Matt,
he does get an abroad
stag do because
it's his first wedding.
Yeah, yeah. Right. And he's marrying abroad, soty does get an abroad stag do because it's his first wedding. Yeah, yeah.
Right?
And he's marrying abroad, so.
He's marrying abroad?
Yeah.
He's marrying abroad?
Abroad.
Or he's marrying abroad?
Both.
So, Matty gets an overseas stag do, right?
Yes.
Because we're going to, like, take him somewhere, right?
This isn't specifically his
stag but
Khan gets
an at home
one because
he keeps
getting married
all the time
not everybody
gets fully
to hold
every company
well the
people are
getting married
too man
so we're
going to
organise
something at
home for
him but
we're like
oh this is
the same
group of
friends
so everybody
is just
bringing shit
to put him
in I've
bought this
lovely fish
net top
like really wide fish nets long sleeve right not just that I can so everybody's just bringing shit to put him in I've bought this lovely fishnet top right like
really wide fishnets
long sleeve right
not just because
you look
class wearing it
but because
the tan lines
are going to be about that
but you act like
he's not turning up
already tanned
who can?
aye
is he not one of
those like
you
go tan before you go
That's not
Nah
Cannes isn't nice
Pasty boy
Okay
So I've got that
Obviously we've got like
A Tottenham top for Matty
And a
Sunderland top for Cannes
Because like
Because they both love those teams
And
We're going to be playing football together
So you know
They might as well be on their favourite team's top
Big fans
And we like to appeal to them
Yeah One of the lads Because we've decided like we're going to be playing football together so you know they might as well be on their favourite team's top big fans and we like the appeal to them yeah
one of the lads
because we've decided
like if you just bring something each
yeah
one of the lads has got
you know
the flame shirt
oh sick
yeah dude
yeah
I was talking
I bet he had one of them
honestly
probably
I bet you absolutely had one of them
when I was a teenager
almost definitely
yeah yeah yeah I was a teenager almost yeah yeah
I'm pretty sure I used to have t-shirts with like
fucking cartoon drawn cars on them
because I was like that looks fucking sick
when I found it it was titled
Y2K flame shirt
and I was like aye I should have just asked you for yours
I didn't mean to
get in with this
we've obviously got the
dissolvable seams
swim shorts
so that when he's out having a swim in Ocean Beach
his boxers
turn into cordial
right hold on
so wait wait wait hold on so are they losing their
luggage
are you intending for them to lose their luggage
actually like we're not going to do much to Matty
his stag's coming.
You're not getting away from it.
Like, Matty,
do you think they are getting away from your stag
by having a shotgun stag of your own making?
Aye.
Right?
We're going to hijack your birthday,
which you've been looking forward to the attention of your birthday,
and we're going to make it can't stag do.
That's what's happening.
I wasn't going to talk about it on the podcast in case they listened,
but here it is.
Aye.
So we,
Can's got no idea.
He's going to Mattie's 40th
aye
one of his other
best men isn't even
coming because
he couldn't make it
so I've got
I've just
I've just got
questions about
hit me
how are you
going to get him
to wear
the dissolvable
swimwear
which I also
have further
questions
so this is
first question
of many
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.
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?
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.
It's going to be fucking
chaos nobody knows
what's happening it hasn't been organised
so he's just going to end
up
the seams dissolve and then it comes off
and he's going to be
yes yeah yeah
the seams of your show
it's turning to dust
I was going to say water
yeah
that didn't even know
that gives me anxiety
so much
I didn't even know
that was a thing
I didn't even know
that's a fear
I just have it
and I'm like
hey can I borrow
some of yours
no no no
I'll wear my own underwear
I'm not
oh god
one of my friends
is on a stag do at the moment
and they've dressed the stag up as
Jimmy Savile. Great comedy.
In a shell suit, cigar
and all that. They've all dressed as children.
So it's just
Jimmy Savile, Gan, Riga with a bunch of children.
That's pretty good.
So we've got a few
days before, Gan gone we're just literally
like in a splinter
group whatsapp
without Matty in
because Matty doesn't
know that his
40th's been hijacked
yeah
completely hijacked
like
enjoy your birthday
on your own time
yeah
organise your own
40th holiday
like we're kind of
I'll have holders
for our 40th
come on mate
overstretching their
like pincer
yeah
so do you think it would be funny
if we don't even acknowledge
it's his birthday

do it the day after
or do his birthday
yeah
or just happy birthday
the day before
and then be like
alright thanks
and be like

I'll get him something
big when I'm out there
make him buy luggage

so he's going to go anywhere nice
yeah we're coming on
Cass Stag do
yeah
me and Caelan
just leave them
nearby
oh mate
get him to take Caelan
to the swimming pool
while he's got his
dissolvable pants on
and just he instantly
goes from like
doting
doting
friend that gets called
uncle
to creepy
fuck uncle
absolutely
I feel like oh my god yeah would you go on my fuck called uncle to creepy fuck uncle. Absolutely, I feel like, oh my god.
Do you call him a fuck uncle?
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
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.
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.
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%.
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
with your friends
and we do that
with our friends
you know
casually
you know
never put Muggle Corner
live and rent free
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,
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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
other things
are going up

some of them
are really good
some of them
are like a
fucking

a weekend
stay at the
Monaco Grand Prix
and the starting
bid for that

half thousand
right
and I think
that went up

or eight

are putting
big money
but my
dumb ass
on something
that is
you know
it's a speed
boat trip
around Loch
Lomond

class
it's not fucking 1400 quid but I'm a dumb ass I'm that is you know it's a speed boot trip around Loch Lomond it'll be class it's not fucking
1400 quid
but
I'm a dumb ass
I'm like
it's for charity

I'll accept the roasting
that I deserve
for not understanding
this very easy
to understand
simple fucking thing

laugh at me

so I start laughing I'm like, fuck. I could have been had at Monaco for that much.
So I start laughing.
She's like,

Oh no.
She's like,

I'll invite your brothers.
I'll invite your mum and your dad.
I'll invite Craig and you'll be the only one not invited.

and me and Kaylin,
I'll sit at home
having not spent
double the asking price
so did you let it
take my word
she won it
she won it
and she only bidded
because she thought
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
because you must have
felt like you had
pockets full of money
and you still want to give to the charity yes I so I did I did I did go out And then did you buy anything else with the, because you must have felt like you had a pocket full of money. 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,
what am I doing?
What am I doing?
And I know who I am.
I'm like, I will crack it open when I'm fucking drunk
and finish it in one fucking session.
It'll be like, Dan, you're just doing it.
So you didn't win any of the other bids?
no I did
what have you got?
I won a
last season's
Celtic top
because I was like
I'll get it
I've done
I've done
but he does
he's a fan of old school Celtic
so
what does that mean?
he doesn't like them anymore?
no he does now
but he's like
I'll take it
but he's like
if you don't want to
we've got other friends
who are like big Celtic
Like
You know
He could give a prize on this
Could do
I imagine there's at least
One fucking Fijian out there
Aye
So should we put it
To the dads

It's kind of saying
One of her friends

Kid who's a big
Tease
Tease you like that
No But I'm not going to Rip out of the hands Of a child Celtic fan Fair enough Aye might have a kid who's a big I can't tease teasing you like that no

aye
fair enough
if it was a
if it was a
tiny Rangers fan
I would have bought it
just to burn it
I've never seen you like this
apart from if there's
bits in your orange
if your water's fizzy if there's bits in your orange if your water's fizzy
if there's bits
in my fizzy water
that would
that would enrage me
so I won that
and then
and then we ended up
oh god
I mean
Cara can put away
a bottle of vodka
but when she feels like
she owes it to the table
to put away a bottle of vodka
she came out so drunk and she was like i managed to steal this and it was a bottle of red wine that
she doesn't drink and was free i snuck this out and like you wouldn't need this gift from a charity
they tried they tried to maybe put it in a gift bag but no no i snuck it up under my top
they tried to make me put it in a gift bag but no no
I snuck it up under my top
ha ha ha
got him
I've got a bonus pick for you
uh oh
you tried to make out
that I took a weekend off work
for me dog's birthday
no
and that bothered me a lot
it bothered me a lot
I pointed the finger at my wife
going
why you making him think that
and she's like
chill out mate chill out, mate.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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
weekends away,
parties,
right?
I fucking have,
I've just got this
fucking seven hour,
14 hour return journey
to Skegness
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
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,
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,
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.
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?
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
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
You'd hit a nerve
I remember
When we played
Southern League football
Sean
didn't turn up
one morning
and a good footballer
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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.
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
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
my point
Cara's like
gee if she can
survive to the
wedding
I'm like man
if you had told
us in 2020
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
the thing where
she's still there
but she's slowly
gently
she's still
hanging on
but you're like
stomping on her
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
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.
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
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
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
and then they
fly away
and she's
like oh
they got
away one
last time
you're not
allowed to
give Rae
frights
she's at
an age
now where
you've got
to stop
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
man when I tell
you I grabbed
this cat
and she fucking
jumped
oh no
man
the cat has
literally two
days previously
been like
don't give a
fright
don't give a
fright
now what she
means is when
I stomped my
big ass
downstairs to
feed Ray in
the morning
you know if
Ray's asleep
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.
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
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
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
yeah
yeah
but she survived that
she survived that
and you know what
I've been
Cara's pointed out
I've been saying
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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
she's durable
I mean she's
really durable
she can take a punch
can't she
can't I
but some people
like
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,
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
get away
with putting her
through that
one more time
getting the person
you love pregnant
is the worst thing
you can do
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
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?
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.
You can't,
you can,
you know,
we're not in America.
We can,
we can,
we can still kill kids
over here.
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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...
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
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
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
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
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?
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
and to do that
just gotta make
it's always
straight
straight men
pale steel males
making the decisions
no no
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
absolutely everywhere
the biggest
switching power
would be if
Lassus just went
aye
boycotting putting out
we're boycotting
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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,
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,
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
smaller than
your fucking
fingernail
constitutes
you know
a life
and so that means
in their head
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
cheering
that's why they were
so happy
like it's you know
I understand people
being fucking
really angry
at the people
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
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
right reasons
I don't want
to ever
give them any
credit
but if they
think it's
murder
in their head
in their
delusional world
that they're
living in
they've just
stopped a lot
of murders
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
I'll be, yeah, I'm'm doing a show i don't know when
i don't know where but it's on the french website and my website so go to those and also um we have
just recorded another podcast which you can listen to on thursday while i'm out having the wayne
linacre experience in marbella um we've done it with gene and it was very much just about all the ailments and bodily functions.
And how we're getting older.
And lumps and bumps.
It was basically just like I had three old people talking about their wear and tear.
So enjoy that.
Bye.
