what happened last night well you went home I did go home yeah you can't leave me on my own why not with bamboukas when I'd left you'd only had one bambouka

I know I know exactly so you should have gone right he's got a taste for it. Yeah. I went up to a bar. Yeah. Where I had a chat with Tim Vine.

Well, I say I had a chat with Tim Vine. I will read you the text messages that we send to each other from across the room. Right, okay. Did you actually, at any point during the evening, talk to Tim Vine face to face?

Yes. Eventually we did, yes. Eventually we did in the end. Okay. So I walked in. Yeah. I walked into the bar. Yeah.

Saw Tim Vine, nodded to each other. Yeah. Tim Vine. And I went, oh, here he is. And he sort of mouthed something back. Couldn't tell what it was. Was it sort of, fuck off, mate? It was fuck off, mate.

Yeah. Don't let people know that you know me. And I was like, god, Tim Vine is mouthing fuck off, right? And he went, no, seriously, fuck off, you wanker. Oh. Like that. And I was like, oh, god, right, I will. Go to the other side of the room. But anyway I'll go to the other side of the room.

But anyway, I went to the other side of the room after we'd said hello to each other briefly. Yeah. And he was stood with Alan Davis. Oh, that's nice. Chatting away. Yeah. And I gave it about ten minutes, and then I just sent him in big letters, why are you ignoring me?

And then nothing left it, but then I went, too busy showing off to Jonathan Craig. Yeah, okay. And then he sent back, how dare you? I didn't know what you were mouthing at me. You walked past. Oh. And then he left it 10 minutes and then he put, why are you ignoring me? And I put, I don't even know where you are.

And then I put, oh, there you are. And then he came over. Came over for a bit. And I almost had a little argument with Tim Vine. Yeah, nearly the first fringe spat. Yeah. Fringe fallout. Peacock and Vine no longer friends, unfortunately.

Oh dear. But we made up in the end. That's good. But while I was waiting for Tim to stop ignoring spat. Yeah. Fringe fallout. Peacock and Vine no longer friends unfortunately. Oh dear. But we made up in the end. That's good. But while I was waiting for Tim to stop ignoring me I was just sat down just minding my own business

being a good boy and a girl came over Yeah. She went Oh I've heard about this. You Peacock off Peacock and Gamble? She goes

You Peacock off Peacock and Gamble? And I went Yeah I am actually getting ready for doing a photo and that. And she went Oh I really like it

I saw you guys on Rustle House Good News really like it I went thank you. And she went and then I went and yeah, I'm actually getting ready for, you know, do a photo and that. And she went, oh, I really like it. I saw you guys on Russell Has Good News. I really like it. I went, thank you. And she went, and then I went and watched Ed on his own and thought it was just amazing. It's my favourite thing ever. Oh. I went, oh, thank you.

And then she went, yeah, oh, it makes me scream laughing. I went, thanks. And then she went, oh, is Ed with you? I went, no, he's just gone home. And she went, oh, that's a shame because I really, I think I would probably do something inappropriate. Your name made that up, didn't you? No, honestly. Did you say that? went, no, he's just gone home. And she went, oh, that's a shame, because I really, I think I would probably do something inappropriate. No, you made that up, didn't you?

No, honestly, that's what she said. Did she say that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Shut up. Yeah, and then I was going, oh, well, he has gone home now. And yeah, she just gushed about you for ages. I did know about this,

because Nish texted me about it, because he was a bit concerned about what you were going to do. Because he said you were fuming. I wasn't really fuming. I was just like, oh, I was just a bit disappointed. He sent me a text saying Peacock's fuming

and then explained what happened. Really? Yeah. I wasn't fuming. It was just funny. I think I said something. And then I read. I was like, oh, this girl preferred me, right?

And I went, yes! And jumped in the air. Yeah, punched the air. Yeah, punched the air really hard. She did. I mean, she was obsessed with you and all her friends are all obsessed with you. Tattoos of me and that.

Yeah. But it came from seeing us as a double act. Yeah. But then they went and watched you on your own and were like, no, she's obsessed with you, and all her friends are all obsessed with you. Tattoos of me and that. Yeah. But it came from seeing us as a double act. Yeah. But then they went and watched you on your own, and I was like, that's better. That's the beauty of the double act. I very much use this double act as a screen board. Yeah, people, you know, by all means, find me through the double act. Yeah.

But I really shine alone. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I was cross, because I was like, well, I have done good news on my own as well. Yeah, but you're mainly the double act that's what you are. Oh right. People are like hey we've seen that peacock in the double act.

See that gamble's got potential. Yeah. Let's see what other projects he gets up to. Yeah. Well I was already on a bit of a shaky ground because my mum's up at the moment. Yeah. My mum came to our show last night. Yeah. She behaved. Yeah she did. She did behave. She was good good I don't know if that meant that she was enjoying it

or wasn't enjoying it she said she loved it yeah yeah she was very complimentary about it but she was telling me that she went and I know I'm not

meant to mention reviews and I went well then don't yeah and she went no let me just tell you this I went no no don't tell me anything

about any reviews no listen for a minute while I tell you I went no and then she said it really fast yeah she went

I think it's all in this magazine and I went why are you telling me that and she you? I went, no. And then she said it really fast. She went, I think I saw it in this magazine. And I went, why are you telling me that? And she went, well, what it was, it was in, and she said the name of the magazine.

And she went, what it was, it was really good, really complimentary. It said something like, see them now while the tickets are under £10. Or something like that.

And she went, isn't that good? I went, that's the, that's the review. Have you just seen how much it is in a magazine good I went that's the that's the review have you just seen how much it is in a magazine

definitely that's definitely what's happened or just us with loads of things saying two for one or something see it now cheap tickets this week

yeah but what I said to her was I said you can't tell me that and you can't tell me the name of the magazine because I'll think that our management

have missed it somewhere I'll go and check I might go to that magazine and see that it's one star dip and be gutted so we're not going

anywhere near that goes for people on Twitter as well that goes for people on Twitter who are coming to review it don't tell us you're coming to review it

that's a terrible thing to do that thanks for coming to review it if you did whatever but that's a terrible thing to say to us and don't list our reviews

to us on Twitter even if it's the good ones I know you're being I know you're being helpful and you're trying to be promoting and that and that is don't list our reviews to us on Twitter yeah even if it's the good ones I know you're being helpful and you're trying to be promoting and that and that is

very very nice of you but if you do that don't tap us in on it because we're really keeping

away from reviews and we see some of them because they're on our posters but yeah we don't you can get

bogged down in all that can't you and also I think now you've learnt as well oh no

don't speak to your mum yeah don't ever speak to your mum yeah and do you know what that goes for the listener yeah don't speak to your mum yeah don't ever speak to your mum yeah and do you know what that goes for the listener

yeah don't speak to your mum yeah don't speak to your mum a lot of people will say like oh make sure you speak to your your mum won't be around forever maybe speak to your mum no just don't speak to your mum

yeah don't speak to your mum I mean I've spoken to my mum loads of times yeah definitely loads I'm going to speak to her later on yeah today

because she's here because she's here but you know in future I think I'll just not speak to my mum. Good plan, mate. Yeah, cheers, mate. But she liked it and she enjoyed seeing my cock in the show. Oh, spoiler alert.

So today we've got Tom Deacon. Tom Deacon. Deacon. Stand up. Deaconator. The Deaconator. That's the name of his show in Edinburgh. Deeksville, Alabama.

That's not the name of his show. NW1. He is a stand up Radio 1 DJ. Nice to deke you. Lovely lad. Right, okay, you're Nice to deke you. Lovely lad. Right, OK, you're going to deke around the clock. Tell you what, shall we do the interview? Deke a book.

Let's do the interview and then we'll come back and see what ones you've come up with. All right, brilliant. All right, OK, here's Tom Deacon. Peacock and Gamble, Peacock and Gamble. We are joined today in a rather half-arsed way by Tom Deacon. By Tom Deacon, who's turned up half an hour late. Half an hour late and then he sat down at our table to do the podcast just writing notes

about his show last night good afternoon well yes good afternoon good afternoon now we're doubling up today we've got another guest straight after you not as good as this one

though is it well it remains to be seen right but if she turns up on time she's already beaten you we're going to we're going to find ourselves in a to catch a predator scenario

when two turn up at once we have to negotiate them all around each other. Hang on a minute, she's female. I'm already one point up there. Are you? We don't rate it. Right. Well, I like that what you lack in punctuality you're making up for in controversy. Who's coming? Who's the second guest? It's Casey Wilkins. Oh, that back Oh no you can't I'm two points up Oh Shit Oh my goodness This

This shizzle cray Rampant misogyny From a BBC presenter I was just saying I'm just winning By By being a man No I didn't mean it like that

Hang on a minute I'm retracting the statement That's very BBC That is very BBC We should actually say At the top of this Because we all present on BBC Radio so we should just make it clear that this isn't affiliated with... we don't even have to make

that clear. No. Well you've done it now so even if they weren't worried about it they're thinking about it and now they're probably thinking I might Google that and find out what on earth they're on about. Yeah but BBC aren't worried about it, it's people innit? People are listening to this. Yeah I know.

Right now. So for those idiots what we're saying is this bit... Idiots? You're minus a point now. I don't care. Right now. So for those idiots, what we're saying is, this bit, now what we're doing. Idiots? You're minus a point now. I don't care. I like having no points. It's got nothing to do

with the BBC at all. Is this a point-based interview? Yes. I think it will be today, yeah. Yeah, lovely. I think today. It's Tom Trump's live. Yes.

Right, so it's nothing to do with the BBC, so we can say what we want. Okay. Two girls, one cup. Yeah, there we go. Go and watch Two Girls, One Cup if you want. That is bad planning.

I haven't seen what you're talking about, but imagine Two Girls, One Cup. That's hygiene-based problems there. Yeah. And IKEA's very reasonable. So get another cup. It makes sense. Two girls, two cups. Thank you.

You won't get a couple of lads going, oh, let's share a pint. No, share a pint. Not individually. They Two girls, two cups. Thank you. You won't get a couple of lads going, oh, let's share a pint. No, share a pint. Not individually. They mean, let's two cups. It'd be better, wouldn't it, if it was two girls, one cup, two straws. Thank you.

And a spoon for the bit at the bottom. But having seen it, Tom, I think the bit at the bottom is the whole thing. Yeah. So you'll need a spoon for the whole thing. Just stay clear of it. So you were making some notes there. I was making notes.

Was it about your show? It was about my show. I'm sorry about that. No, that's all right. No, that's allowed. I think it's nice to be able to see some sort of process with our guests and see how they work during the Fringe. Well, what I've got in front of me,

because I noticed Mr Peacock has got his book, his moleskin. I've got mine out. Mine, if I lose it, is at £50 reward money. Yeah. Well, do you know what we're going to do? Pass me my other one as well. We're going to have a moleskin off. Ooh.

Let's have a moleskin off now, right? Now we're doing points. Yeah. So I've got two moleskins here at the moment. I have more at home, but these are the two I've brought all with me. Okay. So Tom, you can be first. Just bring out your Moleskine and describe it.

It's a nice, sleek, slender model. It's quite expensive, I think. It was a birthday gift. Yes, they are. Someone said, here's where you can write all of that gold. Lovely. So that's nice. It's got lovely pages.

It's got a little ring binder bit. Can you go to the back? The back bit, yes. It's got a little sleeve. It's got a sleeve pocket at the back. I don't know what's in here actually. You can have a look before I open it up. Alright, we've got a card of another comedian and the manual for knowing how to keep your moleskin happy.

Sadly, you've just lost your quality control sticker. Oh no, that's fallen out of my teeth. It's fallen out of your moleskin straight into your teeth. What does that mean? What can I do with this quality? This is not a point. You don't get a point for that. You're losing a point because now your Moleskine isn't quality control anymore. Yeah. Oh. Right. And what's this? Oh, the Green Dragon Hotel. Very good. Receipt from doing a gig in Hereford where you paid £55. Yes. Lovely. Right. So

now it's time. We've heard about Tom's Moleskine. Sounds very nice. Yeah. It's travelled. If a little. A little plain. Ooh. Now, let's have a little look at Ray's moleskins. The first moleskin that we bring to you today looks exactly the same as yours from behind,

doesn't it? Yeah. From behind? Yeah. Let's just flip it round for a moment. Oh. Star Wars moleskin.

It's a Star Wars moleskin. It's got it embossed on the front. Star Wars there. It looks like the stars. Yeah, that's... Oh, kidding. I'm winding in.

Let's have a look inside, shall we? Yes. Is it Star Wars themed? Oh, beautiful. It's got a lovely thing there. All of the Klingons. No, all the Klingons there. All the Klingons.

Then we'll just pop ourselves... That's a lot of writing for Live at the Electric. Is that a picture of Mr. Spock? I've wasted a lot of it. Oh, what's in the back here? In my little flap. Spock's details. Yeah, Picard. live with the electric so I've wasted a lot of it oh what's in the back here in my little flap Spock's details

yeah Picard a poster of Star Wars I got that free with it I'm not listening to all these things you're

saying oh what's this Peacock and Gamble at King's Place on a DVD look at that money can't

buy that a visitor's pass from the BBC that's before I got my proper pass and of course my quality control sticker dry as a bone so So pop that in there. So on round one, what's the scores?

Well it depends what we're looking for, doesn't it? Tom's is classic. Mine's is functional. Mine's has functional. Yeah, but his is classic. It's not gaudy. No one's going to be like... It's not gaudy. It is a bit gaudy. You get that out and someone's going to be like, oh look at that dick with a Star Wars moleskin. Someone's going to say that. Someone's going to say that. Someone's going to say that, mate.

Not me. Right. Oh, God. You must use the moleskin. Yeah. The moleskin you must use it. Let's have a little Kermit. Let's have a look at my other one now.

Is he going to start with Piggy? Yeah. Shut up a minute. Right, look. Just a minute. Shut up a minute. Here's another one. You think, oh,

it's just exactly the same as mine. But hang on a minute. What's on the front? That's red. My page marker is red. That's what they call it, a page marker. Yeah. Let's have a little look at the front. Uh-oh. Spaghetti. Well, we are Lego'd up on the front. We have four Lego men on it.

In various positions. Yeah, nicely embossed there, as you can see, the Lego bricks. And an actual Lego brick. That you can't use the Lego bricks. And an actual Lego brick. That you can't use. You can, you can build another Lego on top of it. On your moulds. You can build stuff on your mould skin. Yes, if you're having a break from doing all your work.

Alright. I would say that having a Lego mould skin is equally, if not more, socially unacceptable in public for an adult than a Star Wars mould skin. Lovely. And let's have a look at that. In the flap at the back there. What have we got in here? Some receipts here some receipts some receipts

for stuff from our show that I've still not claimed back from Toys R Us Toys R Us is it Toys R Us there's one from Toys R Us it's called

Toys R Us Toys R Us Toys R Us how much are you getting for that listen to this fun toys glitter 99p yeah

do you know what that is what not a case in your hair oh obviously the Lego one I'd say that was on par with my Moleskine, so nil par points. We can't sit together. But the Star Wars one, I said mine had travelled. That one's gone to different galaxies.

Yeah. I think everyone's Moleskine is really nice. All things considered, let's call it 10 nil to Ray. Right, all right, go on then. Yes. Where's your Moleskine? I don't have a Moleskine. I don't know, so I think that's a bit of a hack.

How's it a hack? Just everyone's got a moleskin, haven't they? Who needs a moleskin? In fairness, I've used moleskins since no one had them. Since they found them. In my defence. It's the element moleskin. They killed the first mole.

Yeah. No, but I mean, since comics didn't have them, I've always had moleskins. Moleskins on the periodic table. Yeah, it is, yeah, yeah. I use your helium, lithium moleskin. Yeah, it's MK. Yeah, MK. Yeah. Not, yeah. By Jim Healy and... MK, yeah. MK, yeah. Not to be confused with Milton Keynes.

Pickle can gamble, pickle can gamble. My original point about you making notes, do you make notes every day in Edinburgh about your show? No, I try to. It's been an interesting... I've really enjoyed this Edinburgh but what I've decided to do was make a little note of what happened in that show. In each show? Yeah. Last night I ended up playing mine cricket on my stage. Okay. Is it part of the show, I hear you cry? No. No?

Will it ever happen again? Well, yes. I found a lot of room for improv. So, yeah, just because it was a small numbered audience in, and I thought, well, the show isn't going to really work unless I get them really on board. Yeah. And what's the best way of doing

that play a game of cricket have you actually left parts of your show for everyone yes at the

beginning because I found in previous years doing a show that I just go out and go right

here's the show and we're not deviating too much I feel a bit more confident I feel a bit

more better as a comic I've seen the show it was great and you were much more comfortable at the beginning than I think you've

normally been because you weren't coming out and having to hit that first line you just came because you were a very relaxed on stage persona

so you just strolled out a bit of banter eased everyone in eased everyone off eased everyone off all over the room came out

had a dust about yeah dust about with a man under cricket yeah under cricket but it worked it was probably the smallest number

I've had in and yet the best gig. They genuinely would have left there going, that was a really thoroughly... Did they play some cricket? Yeah. Yeah, it was just... It wasn't...

It was a couple from Air who came in and... What do you mean? Pilots? Yeah. And so if I ever perform in Air, I've got two fans now. Yeah, that's good. But you do know that... I mean, I assume you know this, Tom,

that you can't walk out tonight and just start doing cricket again. Is that not how it works? Like, it'll be very much... You know it for different people as well. Oh, well, they haven't said that, but I thought that it progresses, the show, it takes on, it keeps evolving. So where it's at from last night, I just take that as the base

and then add layers. But I worry about you walking out and saying, anyone in from air? evolving so where it's at from last night i just take that as the base yeah and then add layers but i worry about you walking out and saying anyone in from air by the end of the fringe it's just hastily woven together thing of different bits from different shows throughout you go who's in premiere does anyone remember that woman with the long dress yeah looking for sex well i said where are you from she said air and i said well that sounds healthy nice nice that was my opener yeah so i'll do that again tonight but I'll construct

it in a way I'll go I'll tell you what there was a woman in from air last night she said air I said that sounds healthy

no don't do that why can't I do that that's called an anecdote it's all of it I don't like when comedians go on and say oh I once got

a heckle with this and I said this do you know what I mean that's part of my show no yours is when they said this and they said this yeah that's part of my show what did you say no yours is and then they said this

and they win when they win it's alright oh yeah no that's the important thing and it also involves a your mum joke but a shit one that you can come up

with a good one on the spot and then they win yeah right so that's the important thing if a comic comes out and goes someone said this to me once

and then I was the winner I remember Tom Neenan who was in the double act Gentleman of Leisure with Nish Kumar who was our guest the other day yeah and Tom Neenan who was in the double act Gentleman of Leisure with Nish Kumar who was our guest the other day. Yeah. And Tom Neenan once said

about a comic, I won't say who the comic was but he once said that the issue he, and Tom's very analytical of comedy, he's very, very good with it and he once said

the problem I have with that act is they win all their stories. Yeah, yeah. And it just ends up being dick swinging. I think as a comic on stage if you're going to try and show vulnerability

that's part of what you are. But that's about charm and winning an audience over. I don't think audiences don't necessarily take to people who win everything. Yeah. That's why I swing my bat on the charm offensive. You swing your bat on the charm offensive. Is everything you

say going to be critical? Yeah, it's going to swing that way. There's another little one there if we just make sure we don't cross any boundaries today that would be

brilliant you will notice later on it's not that I can't think of any I deliberately will not get

involved in this sort of conversation he's always at silly mid-off yeah see this drives me absolutely mental I used to work at a pub

where the landlord used to do this for like four hours at a time and not by the way in an ironic way it sounds like a day and night game

that one honestly I'm trying to come up with more but I'm completely stumped this is the sort of thing this is a very

sticky wicket it's also the sort of thing if you give a look at internet forums will ruin any thread yeah it could be a serious

discussion about something if one person does it then another hundred people do more and it just makes me want to smash the internet. Go on, Tom, I can see you've thought of one. No, no, no. It just seems to me,

the scene with the cricket ball. No, no, we've got it. I'm just fair. Because obviously they'll get more obscure now. The Bumble, the amazing... See, I don't know this much about cricket. He's amazing. Bumble, he charts like that.

We're watching cricket, and we're watching the West Indies versus England and one of the West Indian players had a gold chain on and Bumble I don't know

he's old school he went oh look at that he's got a gold necklace on and he's got gold earrings I'm looking down I'm expecting high heels

abusive I like things I once watched Saints Rugby where I follow and it was the highlights of their season years and years ago they used to get video camera recordings from the away games I like things. I once watched Saints Rugby where I follow and it was the highlights of their season.

Years and years ago they used to get video camera recordings from the away games. So for the home games they had their own commentator called Ron Hoof. He does the commentary

and he's very, very funny. He'll say things like oh we nearly scored there he was a width of a midget away. Stuff like that. But all the games

from away games come in from them and they've all got their own commentators as well and there was a lovely one once where it was from

Castleford and this video bit was in and Saints had scored a try and one of the Castleford players had missed him and I thought it

was a beautifully poetic phrase that the commentator said to the player that had missed him it's no good checking the red cock now we're

at fault there it's a really nice little thing at Castleford they called all the players Different names What do you mean? Well the commentator

Obviously is well in with the players So she gives them all nicknames And obviously he's like going There we go Across the park To Bart Simpson Bart Simpson to Emu Emu

Chucks it across now Oh brilliant To Big Bother Big Bother's in now Oh Biff's got it Biff's got it Now you're like Who the fuck are these people?

But yeah It's that cliquey thing cricket Peacock and Gamble Peacock and Gamble is cricket a sport it is a sport we've been having

a long is a dancing horse a sport technically not we've been having a long and arduous discussion about what is sport

because Ray doesn't think that archery or shooting should be in the Olympics or darts about being a sport Tim Pyme basically we've agreed that if archery be in the Olympics. Or darts, as they say, about being a sport. Tim Pym's angry at darts. Basically, we've agreed

that if archery's in the Olympics, then Angry Birds should also be in the Olympics. Interesting. Angry Birds is a game. Right. And archery happens live. Well, I play Angry Birds live. Yeah, you do play it live,

but you play it on a computer. I mean, I wouldn't want to watch someone on a computer. I think you have to take technology out of it so if we painted some pigs green yes and put them in a little house

and actually catapulted genuine birds at them would that be a sport yes right we'll do that then no we were discussing

it with Tim Vine and he was giving it have you left your phone out you're a presenter on the radio Tom Deacon you are a Radio 1

presenter sort of when you go to Radioacon, you are a Radio 1 presenter. Sort of. When you go to Radio 1, do you leave your phone on? I tend to, yeah. You're like two seconds in between songs. If you can call that songs. Well, at least I don't waffle on. So I'm quick, precise, let's get the next track in.

Why is that? You're just straight in, you're like, Hi, I'm Tom Deacon. It's 4am. Here's Mario Winans. And then your next link is, that was me,

Tom Deacon, for seven hours. That was me, Tom Deacon. Oh, I've messed it up. My second link. That was me,

Tom Deacon, for the last seven hours. I hope you enjoyed all that music that I played. I've been texting. See you again tomorrow.

You're not on a 4am are you Tom? Occasionally when I cover for Good Old Dead. Do you cover? Yeah I cover. Why do we never cover?

Well I'm Super 7 now. We're not really Radio 1 people. I'm Super 7. Can we ask you a question about Radio 1? Fire away. It's a genuine question. I'm glad that we're not

finishing any of these topics. No no no no. We'll chop it up and cut them. And we'll basically it'll all come together at the end. we're going to chop it up in Scotland and basically it'll all come together at the end

it's going to be like a really perfect Edinburgh show all the threads are going to come together in one emotional were you saying something about cricket

like a thatched tapestry exactly the thatched tapestry exactly can I ask a question about Radio 1 it's a genuine question about another presenter

yeah why are we alright Fern Cotton is pregnant no it's not about Fern Cotton and that wasn't me it's not about Fern Cotton. Yeah. And that wasn't me. It is a question.

She got me in the shower. And then, right, we did an interview at Radio 1. Yeah. Right, recently. We were in the building, Tom. Yeah. So we went in there and we got interviewed by Trevor Nelson. We did it, mate.

He was in the other room. We were recording some things for Trevor Nelson. Yeah. But we decided that day that Trevor Nelson yeah but we decided that day that Trevor Nelson has got a leopard got a pet leopard

now this has been on the radio now it's actually been on the radio that we think he has got a leopard an actual leopard do you know if there could be

truth in that how well do you know Trevor Nelson I know him well enough to shake his hand I know he's got quite a big collection of cars.

No, no, no, no. No, no, no. That's not what we're on about. A pet leopard. A leopard. You know, like a big cat. Oh, sorry, I was thinking jaguar. Yeah.

Yeah. Has he got a leopard or not? No. What, someone who's got flaky skin? Do you know this for definite? No, no, no, that's a leopard. Sort of like a lion, but wearing like a slag coat a shaved lion

with a slag coat on that's what we mean by a leopard yeah then I wouldn't know really can you find out

for us please do you know anyone who would have Trevor Nelson's number I can text someone now can you ring

someone now yeah ring someone who can you ring now I can ring a producer who is the one extra breakfast show Right, let's ring a producer.

One extra who is the One Extra Breakfast Show producer. Maybe it's the same producer that we went in with. That'd be perfect. Right, what did they look like? If we keep quiet, it was a lady. A woman. With glasses. Yeah, looked like a woman.

Oh, did you have to do jokes? Sort of, but we didn't. Well, that's what they asked us to do, and then we just made up loads of stuff about Trevor Nelson having a pet leopard. Oh, wicked. I wore a Christmas jumper once in front of Trevor Nelson, and he said, that's not for real, is it?

You don't actually wear that. Oh. Crushed me. Crushed me. Should I put this on loudspeaker? Yeah, go on then. But you've got to do it serious. You can't really explain it.

You can't say, I'm on this thing. You've got to say, can I just double check? I've been hearing some rumours that Trevor's got a pet leopard. Is that? All right. Well, I'll call them. We'll do it then. Let's go.

We're going to keep quiet. Hey mate! Hey Clarky, how are you doing? Watching Rhythmic Domestics. Oh, always. That is typical of you mate. Me and Chris watching it and we basically are better than the judges. We know all about it. We're marking them and everything. Perfect, perfect. How do you know it's Edinburgh? It's wicked man, last night I managed to get my audience to play cricket with me. No you didn't.

Blimmin' did, we played mime cricket, it was fantastic. They hit the ball as a cover drive and a guy in the audience went, caught! It was fantastic. Clark, listen, I've just heard this wicked rumour, right? And you have to qualify this. Does Trevor Nelson own a pet leopard? Does he what? Own a pet leopard? I've just heard this rumour. I've been up in Edinburgh.

Does he own a pet leopard? Not as far as I know. Oh, that was... That's a great rumour, though. I like it. Yeah, please do, because I just heard that he had got a pet... I know he's got lots of cars, but someone was like, he's got a pet leopard, and I was like,

I'm going to have to call Clarkie to find out. He might have a pet jaguar. Woo! Bye, mate, bye. Bye. Well, so that's a Radio 1 joke isn't it

yeah the Jaguar everyone at Radio 1 does the Radio 1 joke so there's no it's not even going around Radio 1 but I think it will now he seems to be

quite a fan of that rumour he's excited about it so he was saying that our rumour was brilliant he was saying the stuff we come up

with is brilliant he said that's a great rumour, didn't he? Great. Great Radio 1. Yeah. Pick, hook and gamble. Pick, hook and gamble. Tell us about your show, Tom, a little bit.

Stop tapping me. I'm tapping you to say, come on, back in the room now, Tom. Back in the room. Enough of all this fun you've been having. I've been seeing your show. I liked it a lot. I thought it was great. It really made me laugh and it was fun

I liked the idea of it thank you how much can you give away about your show in an interview I don't think it's going to sell out so it's fine

I go out probably like that no but people come I'm excited about it is it a thing show yeah what's it called it's called Deaconator

Deaconator Deaconator I'm Deacon Deaconator yeah Deacon not Deconator Decon have people been calling it Deconator. Deaconator. Tom Deacon. Deaconator. Yeah. Deacon-fy. Not Deconator.

Deacon. Have people been calling you Deconator? Some people. A Deacon camera. Deacon camera. Yeah, it's called Deaconator. Deacon. Deacon.

Paul Deacon, the rugby league player. Yes, Paul Deacon, that's a good one. Joey Deacon. Joey Deacon. That's two of them. And that is a weird family get-together. You've got a quest in the show. Yeah, basically the show's about me turning 26.

This is my third hour show. And I thought, I liked last year's, but I really wanted to be a bit more playful and be my actual real self. So I set out a little quest to complete a sticker album. Lovely. And that's kind of the show from the A to B. And you'll have to find out whether I do or not but yeah

do or not at the end people find out whether I do or not at the end people find out people at the end find out whether I've

seen it have you not seen it I'm asking you no but have you not seen it no I've not seen anything yet last year I was up for the month and I was doing a show

that was deliberately me being awkward saying like a little facet of what I'm like but I was ill for the whole month and I was doing a show that was deliberately me being awkward saying like a little facet of what I'm like but I was ill for the whole month and I was doing a play and I really wasn't

enjoying the months so this year come up doing a fun show that regardless of how many people are in that room you know like every comic wants a nice full crowd

but I've actually loved pretty much every audience that come in it was one flat night where the reviewers came in and I actually haven't been bothered about reviews or

being part of the festival. It's just going to the show really really enjoying it. Yeah I think that's quite it's an ethos thing that's spreading

in those comics as well. It doesn't matter because that crowd last night that played a game on stage. I didn't even

mention it but we're all thinking it. We are all thinking it aren't we? Yeah out. But yeah they kind of left going I really enjoyed that show

and now I've kind of got I guess over myself to go do you know what it's about turning up and having a really really fun show that's really cool because when we arrived

I genuinely we were going through did we see posters or something and I saw a poster at the top of my mind I was really surprised because I thought

after I saw you last year I thought you might have just gone I've got the radio and stuff and, I thought you might have just gone, I've got the radio, I've got stuff like that, I'm going to have a minute, and then return to Edinburgh down the line with a fresh approach. So I thought it was really impressive that you,

because you didn't have a bad year last year. No, I didn't have a bad year. Some people really enjoyed the awkwardness. They were like, oh, that's really brave. And I'm like, I didn't actually like leaving the stage, leaving an audience feeling like, what just happened? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But do you know't actually like leaving the stage, leaving an audience feeling like, what just happened? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So, but do you know what? Funnily enough, with the Radio 1 stuff, I don't have a regular slot, whereas I'm still part of Radio 1. Yeah. But it's actually allowed me to go, actually, what do I want to do?

And I want to be stand-up like I've always wanted to do. Yeah. And I have done it over the years I've been doing presenting and Radio 1, but now I get to just focus solely on me doing stand-up. And that's why you think it's come up at Radio 1. Yeah, you get to just focus solely on me doing stand-up. And I'm loving it.

And then when you've come up at Radio 1. Yeah, you get to, yeah. And I've genuinely been so much happier not trying to keep several different things up in the air and spinning plates. Yeah, yeah. Instead I can just go, right, this is what I'm going to do. So I have been a lot nicer. People have noticed and commented.

They go, oh, I really like your moleskin. I'm like, yeah, move on from that. What about the show? Do you like cricket? This is the best moment. It was Nat Lertzmer and Dan Antropovsky and Tom Crane, who were part of Jigsaw. They were in a taxi.

And this is the moment I've made it, right? Because everyone worries about TV and doing all of that. They were in a taxi and the taxi driver said, oh, yeah, we've had lots of comics in the car here last year. Great, loads of them. We had that Tom Deacon was in it. Bragging that I'm some sort of big name in this car. He went, I had that Jack Whitehall as well. And Nat and Dan and Tom were like, oh, right. What did you think of him? He went, Tom Deacon's

all right. He was sound. I liked him. But that Jack Whitehall, what a twat. So it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. You can have as much success on TV, but when it comes to taxi etiquette, I'm your man. And that's what spreads. It spreads. Peacock and Gamble, Peacock and Gamble. Do I have to leave now? You sort of do have to leave in a way.

If you like cricket, and you like stickers, and you like moleskins, and you like taxi anecdotes and tales, then I'd be your man. Tom Deacon, thank you very much. Thank you very much. It's been a genuine pleasure. Thank you, man.
