Sloss and Humphries on the road!
Muggins and cream, cream and muggins
Straight thuggin', livin' the dream
And that's our intro
Fuckin' muggles!
Tickling the clit inside your head that makes you laugh
Woohoo!
Ha ha ha!
They said it can't be done!
Are we in the same seats?
That's hack!
Awww, muggles!
Accidental rim job in the park
Kiss kiss kiss
Or might just be cynical
Just muggled it up on fuckin' Mugglepedia
Where have you been since 9-11? I've been bitterly disappointed You've been bitterly disappointed
You've been bitterly disappointed?
Who's let you down?
They can't do me eyes
No
Aye
I went in for a consultation
I'll then happy and all that
Like I'm gonna get my eyes fixed
Ready to fucking spend some money on it now
Aye
Treat yourself to some fucking vision
Aye
I'm a little bit annoyed at that excuse, bud.
Yeah?
Because, you know...
Is it that straight women have things too good
and they're just going to prioritise?
I say, straight, me eyes are wonky.
That's straight.
That's straight.
I wouldn't trust you to be a job, probably.
I really enjoy the consultation, so this is just just go on
so i have been actively encouraging you for uh months if not years now to give uh laser eye
surgery a go since my dad had it done 10 years ago over 10 years ago it changed his life i mean
it's his vision's bad now but there was a good 10 years of his life when it was changed for him.
And obviously since then, the technology's gotten better,
the surgery's gotten better.
And your mum actually, I was texting your mum
asking about what your dad's prescription was
before he got it done.
He was like, oh, you got it done 30 years ago.
And I was like, that must be an exaggeration.
Otherwise that would be a medieval.
Yeah.
I don't think methods were invented then, Leslie.
I don't think it was 30 years ago.
I think they did it with Sona.
They did it with Sona back then.
Sona eye surgery.
It could have been 20 years ago, yeah.
So I was expecting them to turn us away
because of, like, the previous squint surgery
and that I could get double vision
and I've got, like, one dominant eye
and they don't want to fuck with the balance.
Like, I'm kind of, even when i was tightening i was like i'm excited
about it like to the point like i like if i got my eyes fucking fixed 2020 which is what they
promised right like if you get this new eye design that's only available at optical express
upselling you for more money but you want to turn left if you're getting your eyes fixed
you didn't want to get an artist give us a cheap us the cheap one. Well, I mean, you say you don't. Our biggest fear was that your wife,
renowned scrounger, Natalie Humphries,
who would like-
Coupon cut.
Oh, man, she would coupon cut chemotherapy.
Aye, she would.
Can I just get half?
Yeah.
Is it just, I'm happy to lose one tip.
Oh, that's fine.
She always wants half a pill because she's stingy.
I'm happy to lose one tip. Oh, that's fine.
She always wants half a pill because she's stingy.
Because look, here's the thing.
Especially in today's fucking economy,
looking for bargains is a really good thing.
I think it's a really good trade.
It's something that I wish I had more of in myself
instead of just being as frivolous with money
as I occasionally could be.
But there's sometimes where I'm like,
you owe it to yourself and your loved ones.
If it's for proper self-improvement,
if you can feasibly afford it not to skimp on certain things.
There's a difference between flying somewhere cheap
and the holiday is going to be amazing
so the flight doesn't matter.
It doesn't have to be business on a fucking five hour flight.
Yeah.
If the hotel's nice.
You can go right in there.
And it doesn't even have to be a nice hotel
if your entire plan is to go to the beach all the time
and see the sights and stuff.
Like that's stuff where me personally,
I wouldn't scrimp.
But when she does, I'm like, fair enough.
That's, it's better to be her way.
I noticed you stayed out of the conversation
when she was telling us
that she sold something for £1.50 on Vinted.
Oh, my wife.
You were just like,
just pretend I've got
my headphones on, guys.
And I'm like,
do they come and collect it
for that much?
No, I've got to go
to the post office
and package it,
but the postage is beautiful.
But again, that's...
But she's making sure
that doesn't go to waste.
Yes, and it's...
It's Cailin's old clothes
that mean a lot to her
and she wants them
to go to her happy home.
It's not about the £1.50.
No, no. It's about making it affordable for someone else that mean a lot to her and she wants them to go to her happy home it's not about the £1.50 no no
it's about making it affordable for someone else so that they can buy this thing that you know she
spent maybe nine or ten quid on and yeah yeah so uh Natalie ended up uh having a change of heart
and not coming to the eye test because she's like honestly I'm so used to just getting up and putting my contact lenses in
it's just like i'm honestly just used to so like just this is my routine she's like i'd still get
up after my eye test and go to put my contact lenses in like she's got stockholm syndrome
you care that fucking have it a couple of days like at the same with you're used to waking up
every morning you have a cigarette with your coffee you just learned to not have a cigarette
with your coffee there was there was something in there about em some someone managed manageable pain
or something was in the like little read up of like when you read about it not
not quite from up to express but like you know when you you go and look for
like not the person selling it yeah but somebody talking about it and they were
like not considerable pain not not considerable pain, but manageable.
And she was like, I don't want to go through pain
for something that I'm actually totally fine with.
And what she was really saying is, 3,000 pounds.
That's nice.
So she decided that, and I was like, oh, you know what?
I didn't even consult you on this.
I just shouted through, shall I book you in for the same time?
And I'm kind of strong-arming her. I was offered to pay for it as well it's not like i mean my
money's her money so she probably sees it as like just paid off those um so whatever it was about
money whatever it was about pain whatever the reason she decided against it and i just was like
well this is important to me i'm gonna go down and try that like i said i wasn't getting myself
too excited about it but i also did say that i'd cry if i had 2020 vision yeah absolutely i think you would i
i would feel emotional for you uh-huh well you go in and what i loved about it loads of machines
i'm gonna say double figures yeah of machines are you sure that just wasn't your double vision
maybe it's about five machines approximately five machines and uh you know it's the one that i've
played this one before this is cubat right look at the hot air balloon i'm gonna blast some air
in your eye you're like oh don't have glycoma and then there was one where it was like we're
just gonna check your peripheral vision like uh give us this thing and uh looked straightforward at that late and then
little lights were coming on in the side and i'm pressing the button right there and i pressed it
once and i was like uh cancel that one i didn't see one it's got carried away i'm trying to preempt
it so like i think it was like nq64 just having a fucking swell time and then i sat down with
the optician and uh he was like oh oh, yeah, I seem really healthy,
and started having a look at the stuff from the machines and all that.
And then went and started doing the letters thing,
which I'm always apprehensive about.
I don't know if I've spoke to you about this
or if I've ever spoke about it on the podcast,
but don't put lasers in my eyes based on how good I am at guessing.
Yes.
Like, figure that out without any input from me.
You approach eye tests the same way you approach pub quizzes.
I'm trying to win.
I'm trying to win that motherfucker.
If that looks like an N but it may be an M,
I'm going to say one of them.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm not going to tell you I struggled.
I'm going to be like, confidently N. And if it going to tell you I struggled I'm going to be like confidently N
and if it comes up M
great
you've given me the correct diagnosis
if it confidently says N
and it's N
you're like
yes
fuck I lied
the next one's an I
the next one
look
it looks like a G
but I'm not going to say
it's a C
it's a C
I'm not
so
I did have to do that it actually I was like pretty good on them my left eye is
like fine right in my right eye i'm getting to the point where i'm guessing but i'm pretty low
doing on the chart and like i'm i'm telling them like look that that could be a c or a g i can tell
it's not no it doesn't meet in the middle but like there might be a G element to where it curves at the bottom
that I kind of make out.
So I'm trying to be more honest than I've been in normal eye tests
for my glasses.
But I'm still getting quite far down the chart.
And then eventually he finishes and he goes,
well, you don't qualify for laser surgery
because your prescription's too high, right?
And I'm like, wait a minute.
My eyes are too bad to get laser surgery, yeah, prescription's too high, right? And I'm like, wait a minute. Like,
my eyes are too bad
to get laser surgery.
Yet I actually
confidently read out
quite a few letters.
Is it only people
who've got good eyes
that I get their eyes fixed?
Is it like,
we're going to give you
a 20-20 vision
but your prescription's
only like 1.5?
Like,
I can get it in this eye.
I don't want it in this eye.
I mean,
if both my eyes
were like this eye,
I'd be fine. That eye, slightly off, I can still drive. I can still it in this eye I don't want it in this eye I'd be if both my eyes were like this eye I'd be fine
that eye
slightly off
I can still drive
I can still play
table tennis
not very good
still play pool
I can still
I played football
with contact lenses in
like I can get by
I can play computer games
I can read
it's not the best
but I can read
and they're like
oh no
your eyes are too bad
to do that
and I'm like
so this is for nobody that needs it?
No.
This whole,
because she was bragging about the surgeon
that was going to work on us.
He's like one of the top surgeons in the world.
He's done like 60,000 surgeries or something like that.
I'm like,
what?
And people aren't going to already see,
and you weren't that successful?
You didn't already see?
Just fucking,
oh yeah,
it's done,
have a look at that.
So,
I was, because you, and then he was was like but you do qualify for lens replacement you could get a lens replacement
but your eyes aren't bad enough for that you might as well wait until you're older and it's a problem
and you can't read and everything sorry when you say lens replacement you mean lens eye lens
replacement must be yeah or like lens on your glasses no i mean i okay so that's a different
surgery laser eye surgery is where they cut it down, flip it off,
laser it, change it down.
Yeah, update the software and the metrics.
But they can change the actual lenses in your eyes.
And I think it's because I was saying to him,
I was going, oh, well, my wife's plus six and plus seven,
so it would have been pointless her coming in.
You might as well just ask her on the phone.
You're going to save me coming in if you just fund up your prescription
before wasting me time coming here like if it's such a small bracket of
what you're willing to fix and then he was like oh yeah yeah she wouldn't have been able to get
it done if it was higher than yours but then when i got home i found out natalie's minus
which is short-sighted i thought that meant you couldn't see short but short-sighted is if you
hold it there you can see Anything over there is gone
And then I think
That's what they're good at fixing with the laser eye surgery
So Natalie might have been alright
But because mine's
Far sighted
No
Am I far sighted and struggle seeing closer
I don't know
See that's such a weird thing because
It's like uh
i as somebody who has exceptionally good eyes one of the senses where i'm like i would i would
always improve my eyesight i think you would always want to improve your your hearing um
i tell you what i'd be fine with absolutely reducing taste I think If there was a surgery
I don't think it gets any lower for you
No it could
If it got any fucking lower
Then I would like everything
If there was laser tongue surgery
I think yours is feel though
Yours is all texture based
Isn't it
Well that's another one
If they could reduce like
Feel it
Imagine
Imagine hot bothered you less
Or cold bothered you less
Yeah
Like if they could just laser
Your entire skin
And they're
like right but by the way you know tone down the nerve endings absolutely i would have laser tongue
surgery which is a leprosy you're after is that not what leprosy is
you feel like a fucking superhero if you're a leper i also don't know how they would do the
test that's what you're doing fixing iron man okay daniel you're coming in for laser
tongue surgery so do you enjoy the taste of lemon? You're like yeah yeah yeah I enjoy the taste of lemon
Do you enjoy the taste of egg?
Oh eggs
I struggle with egg
I've tried it in several different ways
Even with hot sauce
Which I like
I don't particularly like egg
Okay that's interesting
Very important question here
Do you eat ass?
What?
Have you ever licked butthole?
Have you ever tasted I have I don't
I don't think
you need this man
I don't think
it's a taste thing
I think this is you
being a
a pervy little boy
so I just
I went
like
I went and
emailed them
just going
can you just
explain to us again
why
but they didn't have
an email option
they just had a
chatbot option.
So I just wrote on the chatbot
because I was on the train back
and I was like,
because somebody just explained to me
why I got rejected for laser eye surgery
because I didn't quite understand
and just left it at the chatbot
and I still haven't got an email back.
But the guy just didn't do it
because he said it was,
oh, like,
something about it being plus four,
you can't do on plus four
and I was like,
plus 2.75
and he was like, oh, you write it differently and i i don't know if that means like glasses and
contact lenses and laser eye surgery because it's like close at the eye it's a different prescription
so i honestly don't understand why i got turned away when i in my head i'm at 0.275 2.75 and then
he was like and actually like you could probably have a higher prescription.
You could maybe have a 3.5 in that eye,
which was still lower than what he said was the cutoff.
You're talking to me.
I'm looking at you the way fucking bankers talk to me.
Right.
So that's how I was looking at him.
Cause I'm like,
what the fuck?
I feel like I've got one of the lowest numbers going.
So you're only fixing people with like eyes that clearly work.
Yeah. It doesn't't it upsets us to
think how much people are spunking their money on something they've already got yeah it's not for
people that are yeah you were not because by the sounds of things it did it did sound like we were
close to like curing not not blindness itself but getting like you were curing people that were
close to blind whereas it's actually the opposite You're curing people who are almost perfectly sighted
Aye, uh-huh, yeah
Like, because if you show me something on your phone
I can see that thing on your phone
I just need to grab it and get it in place
This big dick pill only works for people
Whose dicks are seven inches long
Uh-huh
Well, who's
Well, I don't want
Who's that for?
Aye
Like, what's the point?
Yes, exactly that
Aye
So, wee bit disheartened um feel a little bit richer
feel a bit feel a bit richer yeah but like and i already decided what i wanted to spend it on what
odds do you think that natalie phoned them up beforehand and went we've got a mortgage to pay
you're about to get he's never gonna believe it he's never he's not he's smart in some aspects
but if you just throw a bunch of numbers at him with points in them and then make sure he always
gets hung up on the difference between short sighted and long sight just repeat those two
things over and over again and give them different numbers with points in them and i tell you what
i'll give you 500 quid so you can save us five and a half grand.
In the optician's gown, you'll never file for this.
Natalie's like, boy, trust us.
I know my man.
I just heard a thump.
That'll be him walking into your front door.
I'm sorry to hear that, bud.
It's all right.
I mean, I've gotten this far I know
but it just
it was such a
a promised land
it was
I'm like
ooh I wonder if technology
gets better by the time
I'm older
I feel like
they made a mistake
I don't want to tell them
how to do their job
but that just feels wrong
especially when you're
telling us about like
how much of a change
it was for your dad
and that was so many years ago I don't think the eyes are as bad as your dad's way by description
uh as always uh well not as always as as of recently and as hopefully uh continue in the
future we are sponsored by uh thisley cross cider now i've said this several times about This Is The Cross. Unlike a lot of podcasts
and their advertisers, we were not approached by them. I approached them because this is one of my
favourite drinks in the entire world. It has a number of flavours, from Scottish fruits, to the
whisky cast, to their original flavour, to elderflower, to strawberry. It's Scottish cider made in the east of Scotland.
It's a small Scottish-owned business
that have been growing for the past 10 years.
They do it all by themselves.
They have been doing it so well for so long
that they have been winning the,
particularly the WhiskeyCask One has been winning
the Cider of the Year 2023.
I imagine they'll get it again in 2024
because as a prolific cider drinker,
I've not tried anything else in bed.
Also, I just want to say thank you to everybody
that's used the discount code and shared it online and stuff
because it's nice to see you all enjoying
what we've been banging on about.
Yes, it does make,
and it makes us
look infinitely better to them at the fact that you're now
buying it. So if you are in the UK
and you want to sample some of the best
cider that the UK has to offer,
you can go to thistleycross.co.uk
and by using the promo code
thistleysloss10 you will get a 10%
discount. That's thistleysloss10
at thistleycrosscider..uk uh it's a perfect way to
support the podcast and it's the perfect way to support local scottish businesses and absolutely
post it on instagram and tag us in and tag in thistley cross and give us something to share
i'm desperate for them to the the thing about myself that i wish there was a surgery for
right and i know what i know the way to improve it is to drink less smoke less weed
do crosswords read smarter books be a bit fucking healthier um i i've said this before the podcast
i'll say it again nothing gives me more suicidal thoughts than misplacing something right the things i always fucking misplace are my
kindle which isn't always my fault caitlin knows it's my book and i leave it places and he picks
and it's a screen so that's like a source of entertainment and a lot of like things yeah
oh no but it's it's a it's just black and white what it's not like a it's not like the tablet
kindle sort of thing so that goes missing all the. But I can go a day without my Kindle because my Kindle's also on my phone, right?
If I don't have my headphones,
I really struggle to do,
not struggle,
I'm less inclined to do chores.
I will do so many chores around the house
if I've got my fucking podcast on, right?
But if I don't have my headphones,
I spend 15 minutes walking around the house going,
where's my fucking headphones?
And I only put them in the same fucking three places that's why i hate myself so much when dumbass me
has put it somewhere else and i know that people are going to be screaming being like the answer
to this is you can get these little the air tags or the cheaper version of air tags and you just
stick them on the thing you connect it to your fucking phone which i'm going to lose as well by
the way but i'm going to i'm going to connect it to cara's phone so that she can find my fucking phone they're not i know for a fact that there are gps tracking devices is this fucking
big right that they're sticking on terrorists right and persons of interest in the government
right give me those give me i'll pay i will pay through the fucking nose if you just give me one
small tiny thing the size of a contact lens
the thickness of it
to stick on the back
of my phone
not a key ring
how am I going to add
a fucking key ring
to my phone
how am I adding
a key ring
to my headphones
I need something
that just goes
I wish it was
just a bit of technology
that I could just go
headphones
and it would go
here
I'm here
I'm here
Kindle
here
here I am
there's got to be something in there that can set
off an alert like there's one in the ipad uh-huh if if i've lost my ipad i can make it play a sound
yeah like why the fuck is that not in everything like uh you know natalie left her car keys to our
car in her mom and dad's car when they sold it to we buy any car and we had to trace where the car
was in this like depot in Edinburgh.
They sold it in Glasgow,
in a car park.
And it got taken to this place in Edinburgh
and we found the cleaners had like,
took everything out,
like all of like any junk that's in a car
and put them all together
and the keys were ready to go into the waste.
But before we found them,
I looked up and it was,
I think it was something like 450 quid
to replace your keys
from Audi
yeah
which is not
how much it costs
which I'm like
I had no idea
I had 450 pound
in my pocket
when I'm working
around with that key
you don't
it's a full scam
it's like man
Tesla are just like
it costs 500 pounds
to replace the keys
you're like
no it doesn't
it costs you
maximum 10 pounds
to print the fucking key
it takes
30 minutes
of your time to pass the code over.
You just know.
Marked up that shit.
You know exactly what you're doing.
Closed market.
Aye.
And it got to the point where I was like,
if I hand this back without the keys,
I'm getting fined 270 quid.
It's cheaper to get fined than to not do them.
So actually we're taking less of a hit,
but still annoyingly a hit to do it.
I'm like, if you're charging 450 quid for a key and i've got an app that tells exactly where my car
is parked why the fuck does that app not tell me where my keys are 450 point i want 400 point of
that telling us how to find the car when i misplace them i had to you know when i mean i know you
definitely know this you know when you have a problem
yourself like it's a you problem but you're in a relationship and you're like i'm gonna do
everything i can to improve this thing but we're married now that so you have to be involved in
this right um i love my wife and not not 100 of the the time, not 90% of the time,
not 75, not even 60% of the time,
but not less than 50% of the time
that my Kindle or my phone is missing.
It's under her fucking arse, right?
And again, not all of the time,
but most, genuinely most. Now, I lose and misplace things four to five times a fucking day.
I understand that it's really annoying to be like that.
But man, if I see Carol looking for something,
the first thing I do, feel under my arse,
feel under the fucking pillow.
Yeah, this place has been checked.
I've done it, right?
You just hold X a little bit on Baldur's Gate.
Just briefly search the fucking area
I had to say this the other day
And I'm like
I'm ill
I'm very selfishly coming off nicotine
Because we were doing fucking snooze
Snooze
In Scandinavia
So that's 100% my fault
If the next time
You see me looking for my Kindle
And my phone
And you don't check
100 yards immediately
I'm going to have to leave you.
Because you need to understand,
when I'm looking around the rest of the house,
I'm not actually looking.
What I'm doing is I'm going through the motions of looking
and going, it's under her arse, it's under her arse,
it's under her arse.
And I've probably picked up my phone and my Kindle
and been like, it's under her arse,
it's under her fucking arse.
Like if I can't find the remote now,
the first thing I do is look in the blanket
that Natalie's bundled herself in
because it's clearly been on top of the blanket
because you just put it on top of the couch,
on top of the table, on top of something.
You never put it under anything.
So if it's not on display,
that means the thing that it was on top of has been moved
and Shayla grabbed a blanket and swaddled herself in it
and I'm like 100% in so like i mean man it's a hundred it's a hundred percent it's a main problem and
like i i hate myself so much when i lose shit like it like i feel myself becoming you i'm like
i can't like the one i can't like it's hypocritical like it would be so funny if every time you lost it, you just go, right, Cara, I'm about to buy another Kindle.
And she'll go, oh, dear.
I was so close.
She bought me my headphones.
I love my headphones, right?
It was a really good Christmas present, right?
I love forgetting them.
And today, when I fucking lost my headphones,
I was just like, I hate wireless headphones.
I hate expensive headphones.
I miss the day.
Because do you know what the fix would be?
Back in the old days,
I would just go on Amazon
and I would spend 100 quid
buying 50 pairs of plug-in headphones.
And every time I fucking misplaced them,
oh, oh, they're gone.
I can just go in the drawer,
pull out another one.
Fuck the dolphins.
Fuck the turtles.
I don't give a shit.
I'd rather have a clean house
than a clean fucking planet
give me my god damn headphones
whereas now I'm just like
I can't
like how am I spending
how is my beautiful wife
spending 300 pounds
on fucking headphones
that don't have a
headphones
where are you
here I am
I don't think they exist
yeah
they're bluetooth
they're bluetooth headphones
how is there not a
fucking tracking feature on it
that's bullshit
that is bullshit
may not never
not round me neck
oh god
I fucking hate
delete
go and delete that
since
I hate Instagram
so much
Instagram
I've got a
I've got a reel
which
which isn't going out
it was
give me I tried to upload it it didn't upload so I uploaded it a reel which isn't going out.
I tried to upload it.
It didn't upload.

So I'm annoyed at Bristol, right?
I blame all of Bristol for this fucking one man, right?
I am annoyed at myself. I'm annoyed at Bristol, right? I blame all of Bristol for this fucking one man, right? I am annoyed at myself.
I'm annoyed at the whole thing.
I've already had very,
every time I've been in Bristol airport,
the staff there are just some of the worst.
The airport's nice, right?
Yeah, it's all right.
It's efficient.
We paid for fast track security
just so I can get through
just because I'm like,
I don't want to queue.
Fast track fucking security,
7.15 in the morning,
my bag goes through
and it gets pulled aside.
Four members of Bristol Airport staff
stood there at the fast track
talking to each other
while my bag sits beside them.
Right?
Talking.
Five minutes.
No, no, no, I don't.
But it doesn't matter. I paid for fucking fast track
it's fast track
it's fast
you do not get to talk
as staff
about anything
that's not security
in the fast track
fucking lane
that is your responsibility
I'm sitting there
I'm fucking saving
I'm fucking
they're talking about nothing
they're gossiping about
their sad little fucking lives
right just being like oh my mum does this my mum does oh my mum's dead and I'm fucking they're talking about nothing they're gossiping about their sad little fucking lives right it's just being like oh my my mum does this my mum does oh my mum's dead I'm like
I'm fucking so glad your mum's dead right I'm just angry angry angry she's like and then eventually
they're like oh is this yours and I'm like oh the only fucking thing yeah that is mine yeah yeah yeah
yeah it is go through I make sure that they see me multiple times going to that little thing like, how was your security experience today?
And going, red, bad service.
Wait for it to reload.
Red, bad.
Oh, for 10 minutes.
10 fucking minutes.
The plane gets cold.
10 minutes.
Sir, it's acknowledged.
Okay, red.
Did you let them know as well?
Absolutely.
10 minutes I fucking stood there.
Red, bad service.
Red, bad.
It doesn't do anything. It doesn't do anything.
It doesn't do anything.
It's not going to change anything.
It's Bristol Airport.
Like, why do you have security?
Who's bombing Bristol fucking airport?
If your airport gets bombed,
it's because the staff you hire there are fucking awful.
It's not jihadists.
It's normal, regular people.
The band would get there and go,
oh, someone's already beat me to it.
So, airport is fucking empty
And I'm like oh god
I'm sick, I'm getting angry
I'm getting wound up by the smallest things
I'm just going to drink some water
I'm going to have some fucking medicine
So I go to Boots or Tesco
I get my water, I get my medicine, I sit down
And I'm just like
Doom scrolling on Instagram reels
And I look up at one point just like doom scrolling on Instagram reels.
And I look up at one point, right, and there's a guy across from me and he's just drinking a Starbucks coffee.
And he looks at me and he sort of waves.
And I've got my headphones on.
And I went, and he turned his phone around.
And it was me on reels.
And he went, and I went, me.
Turn the sound on.
And so we laughed
about it
and said nothing else
and I'm like
oh that's a really
nice interaction
he goes away
and I'm just
fucking sitting there
and there
this old
cunt
and that's
there's no other word
for it
an old horrible cunt
hag
yeah
an absolute hag
she comes around
in a Starbucks
uniform
and she's clearing all the tables,
right? And I'm the only person at a table this whole thing. And she's talking to me. And again,
old people don't know what headphones are. So I look up and she's talking to me and I go,
I'm sorry, I must have missed all of that. As if it's my fault that you've not updated yourself
on what technology is. I go and go sorry I missed all that
She went this is Starbucks seating and I went okay
And she's like fucking a poor man. Oh man if like you're the riffraff from which side
if if
It was round
There are 150 chairs here two of them are occupied right if i was taking up space
a hundred percent i'm not a paying customer i'm just sat in front of the board seven in the morning
she's like she's like this is starbucks sitting and i'm like okay she's like you'll have to move
and i was like i'm all right yeah i'm not gonna move you're gonna have to get security they're
gonna kill you if you do that they're be fucking furious if you get airport security for this.
So I went, I went, she went, you're going to have to move.
And I'm like, I'm okay.
I'm just going to sit here and wait for my gate to come up.
She's like, I'll need you to move.
And I'm like, I'm not, I'm not going to move.
Like, I'm just waiting until my gate comes up.
Like, there's nothing.
She's like, but you have to move.
And I'm like, I don't have to do anything
like if you want you can go and get security and she fucking flips she's like i will get security
i'll get security right now and i'm like i urge you to go and get security i would love by the
way it's gonna take you 15 minutes to get their fucking attention i've just come from there none of them are good at their job come back and they're like this cunt
right and i'm and i'm like i'm like this is actually deep down all i wanted all i want is
a confrontation right and it's i'm in a bad mood i'm ill i've had a rough couple of fucking days
like i'm a man i'm just looking for a fight in the world
and I've got it
from all the things I hate
an old cunt
a member of Bristol airport security
and staff
I'm like this is
you've got them all railed
I'm like oh it's Christmas time
I'm like this is
I'm just
I'm going to be the most stubborn guy
when I tell you
how fucking damn
when I say gate security
she's like I will gate security
Edinburgh
gate 7
and I went
fuck
I went
my gates just come up
and she's like
oh that's convenient
I'm like
don't you dare
don't you dare
pretend
don't you dare pretend
that I'm now scared
of security right
you still miss your flight
because you fucking
want security to come
I stood there
for an extra 10 minutes
I'll be a speedy board
And take the window
Pay extra for a speedy board
And I'm not getting in
For ten minutes
She went
Well now that your gate's gone
I guess she can go there
I'm like I guess I can
Right
And I'm just like
Oh no she's won
She's won
Right
I take my fucking Kindle in my bag
I take my thing in my bag
You've got to spill something like
Oh
You've got to get
She's got to be tidying up after
After giving you that
I couldn't do that
I still
I refused
Get me a snooze suit and put it on the table
There you go
Get that big bag of germs off there
No I couldn't have done that
But it was more
I want to make more fucking effort
I don't know where my
Because that's me actually
fucking with someone
in the service industry
and their job
her thing wasn't part
of her fucking job
yeah she was being
a job
she was just being a cunt
she was just being
an old cunt
because
her fucking fanny
hasn't known
known moisture
since the Nazis
were close to fucking
doing it all
that might have made
her feel something
you know
that little like swatch of authority
that she had that she never had over any of her family
like she might be
she might just be flexing a muscle
that she doesn't get to use anywhere else in the world
and getting off on it and that might have given her a little
you know, clipmate or something
she'd be freaking herself over it and she'd go
yeah. I've also, man, I've been to Bristol
Airport three separate times
and every single time I've had a problem
With members of staff there
Which is weird
Because you get to Bristol
And you're like
This is quite a cool
Liberal fucking place
The accent's quite lovely
As well isn't it
It's not a nice accent
But it's a lovely accent
It's like melody
Aye
A bad melody
But melodic
Alright we love her
We love her
Oh good
Cheers
So the thing about
The fucking Nazis, right,
was, look, it's right, all right,
they killed a bunch of people, right,
but at the end of the day,
if it hadn't been the Jews,
none of us would be angry.
Loved his dog.
So I get back, and Natalie was going,
one of my friends,
one of my friends went on Instagram,
there you go, they got back, and Natalie said, one of my friends went on Instagram there you go they got back and Natalie said one of my friends went on Instagram
and one of her favourite restaurants
there was this like hot guy
on the picture in the restaurant
and she clicked on the hot guy right to see who this hot guy was
and it was like his girlfriend's account
and she clicked on the girlfriend's account to find out
who her boyfriend was to look at the boyfriend
and it said on the bio
editor of Sluss and Humphries on the road
and it was your brother Matthew
I wanted to tell him in the car
on the way here but I thought I'd wait to tell him
on the podcast
she literally insta stalked you all the way
to your profile from a restaurant through your girlfriend's
thought you went like that
Well in more and further good news
The king's got cancer
Oh yeah aye
So he does
He did his own prostate
Put one of them big digits up
Yeah
Fucking eh
You've been very prophetic this year Haven't you Because even though you didn't say it on the podcast On a you've been very very prophetic this year haven't you because even
though you didn't say it on the podcast on stage you've been like like rubbing your hands together
at the thought of another monarch dying like i get to see another monarch die yeah and like that's
been your bit and so like um there was a lot of tags on the page about like like tagging the new
story he had the airplane thing february you had the king what's next I'm scared to get on the ranks
say to you
well I mean
if you want the sad news
I can tell you exactly
what it's going to be
well
gotta
this is like
I don't say this
in any sort of
disparaging way
about my life
but
you always put these footprints
around your point
you're like
I'm going to put a slag
off me bird
there we are.
There's a little bit of smoke.
Do the smile print first.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
T's and C's.
Anyway, this slut.
She is utter proof that, and she says it herself, that ignorance is bliss.
I have been in a foul mood all morning, right?
Because, well, one, I'm still recovering from my illness.
I'm still fucking suffering from nicotine withdrawals. sometimes as everyone is aware sometimes i'm just a miserable
bastard uh i keep so up to date with american politics because american politics affects the
politics of the rest of the world and share your sources because you did tell me your sources and
i think a lot of people would like to listen to them, the podcast you listen to.
I listen to
Today Explained, five episodes
every week. It just tells you what's going on in the world. It's a good way to
keep updated. I listen to the
Six O'Clock News from BBC every night. I know
the BBC feels that
it can be biased sometimes. That's why I don't
listen to the
opinion pieces on it. I just listen to the actual
reporting of what's going on in the world, which is often not biased biased i listen to pod save america which is a left-leaning podcast but
only left-leaning in this terms that like the american right is so much further than the right
wing of any other developed country uh in the world pod save america does have actual original
republicans who you know some of the very few republicans left who have integrity
and look i disagree with them on policies about capitalism and immigration and stuff but they
don't come at it from a fucking hateful place they come at it from a logical place and a lot of them
have they want the best for the country yeah they do and and and we just have different opinions on
how you would uh go about it and there are some republicans out there who know what
socialism actually is and don't confuse it with communism and don't fucking go through that thing
of like socialism doesn't work and it's like well you don't get to claim to be the greatest country
in the world if you don't think you can make something work that's um i also listened to
i also listened uh read every day there is a woman called heather cox richardson who you can
sign up to her newsletter.
And every single day, she will send you an update of what's just going up in American politics every single day.
Fox News is not news.
It's very openly not news.
There have been court cases where Tucker Carlson's lawyer has said that Tucker Carlson is allowed to say whatever he wants to say
because it's so clearly what he's saying isn't true.
That is clearly just a name.
Is it right what you said about Fox News is actually, it's not even called Fox News, it's entertainment.
It's an entertainment channel.
It's an entertainment network.
It's not a news channel.
So it's genuinely a parody of itself.
It's legally not allowed to call itself a news channel because it is not because
they do not report facts they report things they find in entertaining ways in order to rile up the
right this is why the entire murdoch family needs to be eradicated from the face of the planet
because the damage that they have done is untold and this is why it's very important that we keep
an eye on what is happening on gb news
right and what they're trying to do with that in trying to divide the country further
most of america most rational good americans and most good people need ukraine to win the war
against russia because of russia if and when russia Russia defeats Ukraine in the war Russia will then feel emboldened
and stronger to go after NATO. And if they
go after NATO, that brings war
closer to the fucking east.
And they've already got allyship with China and they've already
got allyship with... And is it something to do
with, I'm going back to when I read
Tim Marshall's Prisoners of Geography
they get access to a
warm seaport and
that strengthens the navy? navy yeah and they also get all
all the oil like you europe gets most of its electricity and oil from russia still now
the one thing about war in ukraine is russia has just proved itself to be utterly pathetic at war
like evil and indiscriminate and awful but easy to fend off now instead of
us all going to war with russia and having a world war the best thing to do is to just fund ukraine
all of the time in order to make sure ukraine can fucking fight off and it's safe man imagine
having a fucking there's a bully right and you can just pay someone who's hard as nails going,
if you keep giving me protein shakes and maces,
I'm just going to keep beating the fuck out of this guy.
It is within everyone's fucking interest for Ukraine
to be fully and completely and utterly funded.
Now, the MAGA Republicans who are in the House and the Senate are still
being dictated to by
Trump from the outside. Trump
wanted to run on the economy. He cannot run
on the economy because Joe Biden's economy
is exceptional. It's exceptional
for a start. It's better than Trump's
economy. And Trump's economy was only
good in a sugar rush sort of
thing. It was good at the start and then it became
shit fucking real fast. All of his stuff was tax breaks none of it was insustainable insustainable uh joe
biden has brought more jobs to america than any other president since 1955 uh what he is doing to
infrastructure in the country is it's really good is he an old doddery cunt yes absolutely
is he doing enough to stop is from being bastards? Absolutely fucking not.
He is dropping the ball.
But Trump can't run on the economy,
so that's fucking done.
The one thing Trump wants is to run on border security, right?
He wants there to be chaos at the fucking border.
Bearing in mind that while he was in office,
he did absolutely nothing to stop anything at the fucking border.
Did he finish his wall?
It's still ongoing.
Joe, all of the MAGA Republicans were like...
So you can go and run it?
All of the MAGA Republicans were like,
we are not putting any funding into Ukraine
unless you start putting draconian laws on the fucking border.
They've held this up for three months,
not letting any fucking bill pass through.
Biden fucking capitulates.
He's like, you know what?
Sure.
I'm going to get rid of the Dreamer Act.
The Dreamer Act is like,
if you illegally come into the country,
if your parents illegally come into the country
and you're birthed in America
and you live in America for your entire fucking life,
so you aren't an American, right?
Even though if I'm going there,
there's the Dreamer policy,
which is like, hey, you're an American. He was he was like you know what i'm going to get rid of that
which is that would get natalie sent home yes home place has never been yeah yeah yeah yeah
uh i think she went once when she was 12 or something they're like we're gonna
brian's like fucking sure if this is if this is going to give us funding for the Ukraine war absolutely
fair enough we're going to
House Republicans have killed it fucking dead
because they need
they need
chaos at the border because that's the one
thing that Trump is going to fucking run on
is racism
and
just like fear mongering
so if Biden has satiated their border angst,
then Trump's got off an offer.
So the one thing they wanted they got
and they've shot it fucking dead.
But that doesn't matter
because that's not what's going to be reported
on Fox Air Quotes News.
They're just going to point out
these little things that don't matter,
that aren't true.
And none of them have to be true
because again, because they're on a news news network they do not have to be fucking
accurate tucker carson one of the most dishonest men in the history of the fucking world very
openly is in russia now to interview putin right shut up uh-huh and he's gonna be i'm the first
i'm the first western media to get to interview him oh he gets fucking nova chocked no
no he's not putin is absolutely going to do it because tucker carlson and fox news are propaganda
they're propaganda putin runs his country on propaganda right and this is the i don't think
theo vaughn is a particularly brilliant comedian i've always enjoyed him as a personality i've
always enjoyed him i've never seen his stand-up, but I've seen some great clips.
He's very funny on fucking podcasts.
And man, the guy had drug problems, the guy
had drink problems. He's sober now.
He seemed to be going through this thing of
being really sort of like
smarter and more conscious and things. He had
fucking Tucker Carlson on his podcast,
which for me is akin to...
And it wasn't a lot with Don Chinnam.
No, no, no. Man, it's akin to joe rogan
having on fucking alex you ever there's this problem with fucking podcasting this problem
that andrew shots does this problem that fucking joe rogan does and theo vaughn does which is like
oh i don't want to tour as much anymore so what i'm going to do is i'm going to make my podcast
big and the way i can make my podcast big is instead of being smart and fucking challenging
and having a level of responsibility
to challenging some of the worst people in the world i'm gonna have them on and just fucking
humanize them you have a responsibility to not humanize scum someone say that way microdose
that by getting elliot steel on but he's not big and famous i mean by microdose oh
and so just like all morning, I'm just like,
God is like, what's wrong?
And I'm like, all of this is going to go through
because America is a country that thrives
not only on undereducation, but miseducation.
When Biden loses, which he will,
when Trump gets in, and when democracy falls in america it's going to fall
in the rest of the goddamn world she's like but you can't affect it i'm like oh i know
and i wish i was like i wish i could just let this stuff not fill me with like blind
fucking rage and sadness and that's like that is how I was when Newcastle got
Taken over by the Saudis and you had like
Colin and that were talking about the
Fucking human rights violations and stuff
In Saudi Arabia and I'm like
Why wouldn't they get Bruno Gimara
I'm like actually
So there's not much I can
Say getting angry
Look if you
If you're a fucking yank i know how much how
fucking awful it must be to be given the two choices you're given right but you can't blame
your two-party system on joe biden right can you blame joe biden being uh the president on the
democrats absolutely are the democrat is the democratic party consistently just a fumbling bunch of
fucks who consistently lose unlosable elections absolutely absolutely fucking
wouldn't it wrong they've been the worst president in the world probably not because that would have
been hillary clinton i'm reading obama's autobiography just to remind myself
how bad it's gone since then
man one of the things that really made me upset
yesterday again Cara's like I don't know why
you allow yourself to like
know these things to just make yourself
sad he was talking about
when he was trying to win the Iowa
caucus and
one of the gaffes that he made
was he was talking about because
he was always opposed to the war in Iraq even though Hillary Clinton and a bunch
of Dems especially Joe Biden supported the war in Iraq he ran on it being like
this was always gonna be a mistake this is like there's ways to do it with
diplomacy there's ways to make sure that our allies fear us but we give them the
option to fucking work with us all this stuff and one of his early blunders and gaffes was he says i just can't
believe all of the life's wasted in iraq right and the media picked up and being like oh you think
soldiers should give their life for the country's wasted and there's like this entire fucking two
page bit where obama was like the second i said i regretted it because because it was like saying
it was in vain yeah
yeah yeah but nobody wants to hear that kids died in vain I but he was very aware of like oh man I
didn't I I know what I said and I know it came across it's not what I meant but I fully acknowledged
that the word I used was callous and dismissive and awful and it's something like man nine years
later when he's writing the book he's like i still regret
my use of words saying that these lives were fucking wasted compared to you just say like
wasted coming up on grand theft auto compared to donald trump who at war memorials seeing the names
of all these people that died in america it, for America, in the name of their country,
being like, what was in it for these losers?
A direct quote.
Oh, my God.
A direct fucking quote.
And it just doesn't get blown up.
It doesn't become a thing.
It doesn't stick.
And he's not going to write his own biography
because they can't fucking write.
It's like an exaggerated version of what was happening in the UK
when anybody from the Labour Party was saying anything it's like an exaggerated version of what was happening in the uk when like anybody anybody
from the labour party was saying anything and it was like i mean somebody fucking had odd socks on
or something and it got blown up and then you get all these quotes from boris johnson can like
people like kids born into wedlock bastards picking ninnies and all that watermelon smiles
just describing black people and like all this stuff that's like in writing like it's on
wax yeah and like none of it stuck with him because like he's this fucking bumbling like
the buffoon kind of guy yeah like if any of the left like fucking go out and lay in the slightest
bit they're like this fucking retard no um while you've been looking up American news, did you notice that I think we nearly,
but not quite,
get hit by an infestation of bugs
in America when we're on tour?
It's happening,
but we're just kind of on the outside of it.
So there's these type of insect.
I think like,
I'm tempted to say like locusts,
but it's like the name begins with C.
And I'm also tempted to say COVID
because I've just read fucking children of time
and they say COVID a million times,
but it's carcass or caucus or something.
Matthew's going to try and find out.
But they have these like super broods where like,
they'll have like brood 11, right?
And that comes up every like 13 years or something like that
and does like a mating ritual and then disappears.
So you get this like kind of swarm, like an inf does like a mating ritual and then disappears so you get this
like kind of swarm like an infestation swarm of like mating insects and then they go back to
ground for another 13 years or something and it's something like brood 7 and brood 12 who are on a
cycle of 17 years and 13 years are coming up at exactly the same time and there's set to be
a trillion insects in the sky across like West Virginia and that kind of Tennessee
and all that. We're going to be in Texas
on the date
when there's this massive... Go on.
Is it the Mormon crickets?
Possibly. I'm sorry.
Or cicadas. Cicada.
That's what I would have read. Mormon crickets.
They fucking go door to door, do they?
Yeah, knocking on doors.
Mormon crickets I I would assume,
is just the term that Mormons use
whenever they knock on a door
and even though there's lights on inside,
they can hear the volume on the TV being turned down.
But still like no answer to the door.
Would you like to hear about Jesus?
Turn Fox News off.
Turn it down
It's quite cool so it's more than a trillion
Cicadas will be coming to the US in an event
That has not happened since Thomas Jefferson
Was president in 1803
Where Brood
XIX which arrives every 13 years
XIX 19
And Brood XIII
13
Which arrives every 17 years Will arrive at the same time.
Oh, wow.
Is this like an absolute event going to be happening in America when we're there?
How fascinating.
Isn't that great?
Why?
Like, part of us disappointed that we're not going to be in amongst it.
One of my childhood memories from from you know when i used to
tell you i used to go to norfolk with me granddad and my auntie in the caravan one of the times
there massive ladybird infestation like fucking sweep your arm through the sky like that and you
could feel them like dinking off your arm like fucking loads of ladybugs i've never known anything
like it since after i don't know if that's an annual event in Norfolk, like that kind of way,
or if it was just an event that happened in my childhood.
But I just, in the pool, in the resort,
just fucking ladybugs just on it,
like alive, dead, floating around,
bobbing around in the water,
like a carp and a ladybugs on the pool water.
So I remember something like that in my lifetime
and it was just like core memory.
Because we get, I mean, we get fucking really bad midges
In Scotland
I don't know that
But ladybugs is fine
Aye
They don't bite do they
No
They're harmless
Not poisonous or anything
They don't even like
Say the word again
Cows
Cicadas
Cicadas
Begin with a C
So you confused me there
The word I kept looking for
Was Kaukuna
Which is the evolution
Of Weedle in Pokemon
It's just another Pokemon
And I'm like
I don't think they could fly
It's only if they get to
Beetles stage
Then they can fly
And if there's an infestation
Of beetles
We're fucked
Those aren't Butterfrees
Those are the fucking
Aggressive ones
And you've been playing
Pro-Evo Pokemon
Have you?
Pal World
Pal World
Pal World Which i am so
pal world is this game that is just like a ripoff of several different games they've nicked
the entire engine of zelda they've nicked the noises off of zelda they've nicked the text off
fucking zelda they've just combined a bunch of different games. And it's very like open world Pokemon-y,
but they've just made it funner than Pokemon.
And people at Pokemon are fucking raging
because they're like, we're going to sue you.
But there's a big part of me that's like,
that's what you fucking get for-
Not giving the game that people want it.
For 20 years, for 20 years,
all Pokemon fans have begged for is,
give us open world Pokemon. is give us open world Pokemon.
Just give us open world Pokemon.
And they were like, no, we're going to top down still.
Oh, I'll tell you what,
we're going to give you Pokemon Go on your phone.
And you're like, oh, can we battle each other?
No, no, no.
It's just, it's gambling for kids again.
It's just, you're going to,
you're like, we begged bit and bit.
It's like, man, it's the Brandon Sandersonerson role if your fans ask for something for 10 to 15 years and you do not deliver it
people are absolutely allowed to rip off your fucking idea and do it better like that's that's
on you like for example if my fans were absolutely desperate for me to do a show about miscarriages or abortions or the Holocaust or
Israel-Palestine. The Middle East, would you do it? If everybody wanted you to do it, surely not. No, no, no, I wouldn't.
I was going to say. But if for 10 years people were like comment on the Middle East, comment on the
Middle East, comment on the Middle East and I didn't comment on the middle east after 10 years you're allowed to use ai to to do
if i know what i want to say absolutely like absolutely like you're not beholden to your
fans at all you're allowed to create art in the way you want but if so if you do not do if you purposefully just ignore what the people want
for so fucking long just through sheer laziness or cowardice and then somebody goes all right i'm
gonna do my own version of it like i would be like this is really annoying because i didn't
say any of those things and those aren't necessarily my opinions i want to see your AI coming out show. Oh, yeah.
If I encourage anyone to go and have a look at Ryan Long's reel about an actor trying to decide who he's supporting,
Israel, Palestine,
is one of the fucking funniest clips about something actually horrendous
that you actually go, oh, but you haven't got it wrong you've
actually made it really funny he's not well he's not making because he's not he's not he's not
making fun of any but any of the victims he's not he's making fun of the postures he's making fun
of people who make it about them and for me it was the first thing i've looked and watched where
i'm just like oh you've fucking got the tone Of that perfect Forgetting to laugh
Would have something
That's not funny
Yeah
Yeah
Um
Wrap this up
And then have a drink
And a piss
And come back
And do the bonus episode
Let's fucking do it
You know if there's anybody
If there's anybody that
That is like
Finishing listening to it now
Going oh I wish there was more
There is
There's loads going on
Also if you're listening to this
Go go
I wish there was a fucking less whiny version of this.
Man, now that it's all off my chest,
it'll be on there.
If you believe that, you'll be brave.
Also, look,
I know I've got a left-leaning fucking crowd,
but I just want to really reiterate something
to any Americans that might be on the fence.
By the way,
and if you are on the fence,
thank you so much for still listening.
I know that we're fucking left-leaning, fucking libtard losers who piss and moan about the injustice of the fence. By the way, and if you are on the fence, thank you so much for still... I know that we're fucking left-leaning fucking
libtard losers who piss and moan
about the injustice of the world. But don't follow
me. Right.
The Mueller
reports, even though
they did not
provide fucking conclusive evidence that
Donald Trump colluded with
the Russian government, which is
neither here nor there, right?
Even if he didn't, the whole thing was no collusion, no collusion.
And that was enough of a fucking soundbite for Donald Trump to get away with it.
The one thing that the Mueller report categorically,
100% without a shadow of a doubt,
proved that the 2016 election was interfered with by the Russian government.
And the Russian government wanted to do one thing,
and it was to so divide amongst Americans by going on social media,
by going on Twitter, by going on Instagram, by going on Facebook,
and by just flooding social media with false reports
to wind up both the right wing and the left wing,
to split you guys down the middle
so that you were as divided as you are now to prop up Donald Trump.
Now, whether Donald Trump colluded with him to do that, it doesn't fucking matter.
Russia wants Trump in charge because if Trump is in charge,
he's going to make it America fucking first
and the rest of democracy in the world is going to fall, right?
fucking first and the rest of democracy in the world is going to fall right and and i know this is from a fucking screaming pissing bitchy ass fucking liberal who listens to a couple of podcasts
and reads an email every day and thinks he knows more about your country than you do and man fair
enough but the one thing you have to remember is outside of your country you're still the number
one news story in the world because the world
is in your fucking hands. Please be
compassionate in your fucking debates.
Please try and, I know
how hard it is to fucking lean across
the fucking aisle, especially in such
a divided country. But remember, your
unwillingness to lean across
and speak to your fellow Americans
is exactly what fucking Russia wants.
Mission accomplished. Aye.
And also, we are Packagers Entertainment, just in case anyone thought that was a cutaway
news story.
Right. you
