Here they are.
Oh, hello there and welcome to the Peacock and Gamble Edinburgh podcast.
Oh.

That's Ray Peacock over there.
Hello, I'm Ray Peacock.

oh no I don't care
who they are
no I want them all
to say their names
out loud now
right go
because that's polite
isn't it
3, 2, 1
right couldn't pick
up on any of them
too many people
just shouting
that's like 5 people
all speaking at the
same time
yes
really put me off
too many isn't it
too many to hear
and understand
isn't it this is many to hear and understand, isn't it?
This is episode 24.
Oh, I don't know.
Episode 24, so after
this one, two more
episodes left.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Then suicide.
No.
Gun.
Head blown off.
Mate, you can't kill
yourself with a gun.
Far too much admin
trying to lay your
hands on it.
Right, okay, what
should I do then?
In fact, I argue that if you wanted to kill yourself with a gun, you'd definitely trying to lay your hands on it right okay what should I do then in fact I argue
if you wanted to
kill yourself with a
gun you definitely
want to by the end
with the amount of
paperwork you'd have
to get through
I'd be so stressed
out for you
I think I'd buy
one like dodgy
you'd buy one dodgy
yeah just like on
the street
you'd buy one like
dodgy
yeah
you'd buy one like
the musician dodgy
I'd buy one from
the band dodgy
right
if it's good enough
for me then it's
good enough for them yeah it's good enough for them.
Yeah.
That's what I reckon.
Yeah.
I don't know if
you can do that or
not.
I've decided.
What buy a gun
off Dodgy?
No you can't buy
a gun Dodgy.
You can get a gun
but I bet you
I could get a gun.
Right.
What now?
I bet you I could
get a gun by this
time tomorrow.
Not in Edinburgh.
Easy.
No.
Course.
Edinburgh's lovely, mate.
Don't be stupid.
Mate, have you walked down the Royal Mile?
I don't think anyone's selling a gun on the Royal Mile.
I've not been anywhere near the Royal Mile.
That's not where I'd look.
It's all fun shops.
I'd go and find an underpass.
Yeah.
There is an underpass.
I can point you to an underpass.
Right, well, I bet I'll get a gun there.
I don't think there'd suddenly be a gun vending machine in the underpass.
No, it's just looking for the right people, isn't it?
Is it?
Same bloke every day
this friend just come up to me
either asking me for change
or if I want to buy some grass.
Yeah, yeah, that bloke, yeah.
Same bloke.
And I don't know
what he's doing.
I don't know what
his business plan is.
Well, he's obviously
not selling a lot of grass,
is he, if he needs change?
Well, either that or he's...
He always needs money
for the bus home as well.
Yeah, I know.
Ridiculous.
Can I have some money
for the bus home?
Yeah.
Or do you want to buy some grass?
Don't come into town.
How come he always, in the morning, when he comes into town, he goes, well, how much have I got? I've some money for the bus home Yeah Or do you want to buy some grass Don't come into town How come he always
in the morning
when he comes into town
he goes
How much have I got
I've got enough
for a single
Yeah
Right
And then he gets there
and he goes
I've forgotten to return again
I'm going to have to
sell me grass
But he's got his grass
Yeah
So he's bought that
somewhere I presume
Yeah
So he's bought that
He's spent too much
on grass
Yeah
And he's not factored
in his bus fare
It's ridiculous
He's an idiot mate
Absolute fool
Anyway I don't think he'll have a gun, because he's a tit. You probably
asked for a gun from him. I bet he'd take the money off me for a gun, though, and then
say, I'm going to go and get it for you now. Yeah. Never see him again. Well, you would
see him again. Following night, same place. Yeah, you'd see him day after when he's at
the bus stop crying. Yeah, he's not a great one, is he? Yeah, exactly. You wouldn't know
how to buy a gun, anyway. I wouldn't know how to buy a gun. It costs a lot of money.
You don't know the lingo. I bet it'd cost a grand or something. You wouldn't know how to buy a gun anyway. I wouldn't know how to buy a gun. It costs a lot of money. You don't know the lingo.
I bet it costs a grand or something.
You don't know anything about guns, mate.

You'd panic if you bought a gun.

That's how cool I was then.
You weren't cool there,
mate.
I was proper cool,
You asked for a blue gun,
mate.
You're not cool.
Yeah,
I wanted a size 3 one.
You wanted a size 3 blue gun.
Yeah,
I wouldn't panic.
You would,
mate.
It's like you're ordering a hat.
I'd look brilliant with a gun,
mate.
Mate,
you wouldn't. I would. I tell you what, you'd hold I'd look brilliant with a gun mate Mate you wouldn't
I would
I tell you what
You'd hold it by the handle
With two fingers
Just out in front of you
Like it really smelt
Because you'd be panicking about it
I shot a gun once
It made me deaf for about four minutes
You didn't shoot a gun mate
I did
I did
I shot a gun
And it made me deaf for four minutes
Oh
Where did you shoot a gun?
Like from my hand
Oh
But it was near my ear
And it just gave me a whistle
No I'm not saying
What part of your body Did you shoot it from I know it was from my hand. Pew! Oh. But it was near my ear and it just gave me a whistle. I'm not saying what part of your body
did you shoot it from.
I know it was from your hand
but you didn't do it
with your dick.
I'm saying
where did they let you do that?
It was a gang, wasn't it?
No, there wasn't.
No, not that.
I was in a gang.
You weren't in a gang, mate.
I was.
I was in a gang of actors.
Mate,
there's no such thing
as a gang of actors
and you were not,
you were never in a gang.
You'd be kicked out
of Blazing Squad for being too puffy. Right, listen, there was a gang of actors. And you were never in a gang. You'd be kicked out of Blazing Squad for being too puffy.
Right, listen.
There was a gang of actors all doing a play.
Right.
And in that play, I had to shoot a gun.
What play, mate?
It was a play that I'd written, and at the end of it, I had to shoot a gun.
Right.
Mate, I've got a photo of it.
All right, show us the photo then.
I can't, because I've got it with me now.
All right, yeah, you left it in your other jacket.
But I had one practice shot of it.
Right.
Outside, and it really hurt my ear.
Right.
And then I was worried about
the actual play we were out to shoot it in,
because I was going to be deaf again.
Oh.
So I sort of closed my ear up a little bit
as I shot it.
You closed your ear up?
Yeah, I sort of psychologically
closed my ear up.
You can't psychologically
close an ear up, mate.
I just got ready for the bang.
Yeah, but that doesn't mean
you're closing your ear up.
It's not like a mouth or an eye.
But that's what I did anyway.
Right.
Well, you didn't.
Well, I did.
This has been one of the weirdest conversations we've ever had.
It's because the fringe is rubbish.
The fringe is not rubbish.
The fringe is actually lovely this year.
No, the problem with this part of the fringe is everyone gives up.
Everyone's give up.
No.
No, not performers.
Not performers.
Not you.
But all the staff, all the people knocking about the place, they've all just give up.
They've all just stopped.
Yeah.
But we're still paying thousands of pounds to do the rest of these shows.
And it really annoys me.
I know it does.
We had stuff stolen in our venue last night.
Yeah.
Some of our stuff.
But you can't let it annoy you, mate.
We're just going to be good.
We're just going to do our shows brilliant like normal.
I can be annoyed that other shows in our venue have vandalised our set and stolen stuff.
No one's vandalised our set.
Yeah, they did.
They left their drinks and stuff on it.
That's vandalising it.
That's not vandalising.
There were grapes all over it from As You Like It, which is on in that venue. Yeah, but that's not vandalised our set yeah they did they left their drinks and stuff on it that's vandalised isn't it there were grapes all over it
from As You Like It
which is on in that
venue
yeah but that's not
vandalism is it
stupid pricks
I'm gonna knock them
out if they do
anything else
it's hardly like
Banksy is it
it is a bit like
Banksy
Banksy's left his
coffee cup on the
wall
Banksy's done a
great
put glass round
out put it in
the Turner Museum
someone stole our
wine
someone did steal
our wine
the Pleasants give
us wine at the
beginning of the
Fringe and we
always keep it to
the very very end
kept it on the
set
someone's away with it.
Just left the label.
Yeah.
Good luck Peacock and
Gamble.
Yeah.
Absolute pricks.
Yeah.
And we can only rule
out two companies.
We know it's not
Danielle Ward and we
know it's not Tom
Deacon.
Yeah.
Because they're mates.
Yeah.
So we know they
wouldn't do it.
I was really enjoying
myself and now it's
turned into a really
dark detective drama.
Yeah.
So I'm going to get a
gun.
Yeah.
And I'm going to find out who done it. Yeah. And then I'm going to shoot them dead. Right. Well this is really unfortunate. This has turned into a really dark detective drama. Yeah. So I'm going to get a gun and I'm going to find out
who done it
and then I'm going to
shoot them dead.
Right.
Well this is really unfortunate
this is turning into
some sort of
BBC4 Scandinavian drama.
Yeah.
It's horrible this.
Right.
So the final episode
of this podcast
in a couple of days time
is going to be
Ray finds out
which company
nicked the wine
I don't even like wine.
Yeah.
Ray finds out
which company
nicked the wine
and assassinates them
right
this is really upsetting
right after their shows
right
not before
right after
okay
when they're on a high
right
although I can't imagine
how you like it
on a high
I bet they walk on
every day going
I'm sure we'll remember
all of it by the end
fucking pricks
so guest today
is Angela Barnes
yep
pure filth
there she is
dirty bitch
actually we should stay about this interview.
Yeah.
Because it's a bit blue.
Yeah.
Because it's a bit blue, but it was her.
It was her, mate.
When you listen to it, it sounds like it's us, and it's not.
Yeah.
Right?
We are just being really good boys and doing our show.
Be fucking humble, dirty, want to be on the telly anyway, 9.40 every night at Pleasant's
Dome Dome.
Yeah.
But she came in.
Yeah.
She had crotchless knickers on.
Yeah.
And barbed wire bra.
Yeah.
And she could have been dancing and everything.
And she sounds,
she talks like she's
in a Victorian postcard.
Yeah,
but she's been all sexy
in that.
So it's not our fault
we ended up getting Randy.
Yeah.
But here it is now.
And if you're listening
on Saturday,
the final two performances
of our show,
it's tonight and tomorrow night
so hopefully see you there.
And a letter from the council
they're knocking down
the lighters.
Oh dear.
Monday.
Here's Angela Barnes.
Peacock and Gamble, Peacock and Gamble.
Peacock and Gamble.
Hello Angela Barnes.
Hello.
How are you?
I'm very well.
How are you?
Good.
Fine.
Here she is.
Here she is now.
Angela Barnes.
Yeah.
You put your clothes back on Ray.
Oh.
We should mention that Angela got a very lovely welcome to the flat today.
Imagine walking up 93 steps to be confronted by Ray standing at his bedroom
door in his boxer shorts. A very handsome
man just knocking about the house.
Knocking about the house in his boxers.
I shouldn't have to change how I'm behaving just because
there's a lady coming round. No.
And at that point every day
he just stands in that doorway.
In the doorway, leaning against the door frame.
It just so happens that today
you were coming over yes
well I timed that just right
I'm glad I was like
seven minutes late
getting here
and she got her top off
literally within about
30 seconds of seeing it
unbelievable
which made it embarrassing
because I was putting
my clothes back on
and she was taking hers off
you know when you just
miss someone
yeah
timing never was my strong point
it's gonna happen
it's gonna happen
but then you just miss each other
never happened that
it's heartbreaking isn't it
yeah
you put your clothes back on
haven't you right
popped them back on for now
yeah
and now I'm sat in the kitchen
doing an interview
with Angela Barnes
I know
yeah
I'm still not very well
I should warn you
I won't breathe all over you
have you got any questions
for Angela Barnes mate
no
no
so you literally
all you planned
is taking your clothes off
when she got here
yeah I got as far as that
right okay
hey Angela Angela Ang Ang what should we go with Angie So literally all you planned is taking your clothes off when she got here? Yeah, got as far as that. Right, okay.
Hey, Angela.
Angela?
Ange?
Ange.
What shall we go with?
Angie.
I'm an Angie, really.
I was named after the Rolling Stones song.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
So we can call you Angie?
You can absolutely call me Angie.
Let's call her Angie all day.
That's quite a cool thing to be named after.
Yeah, my dad went to school with Mick Jagger.
No. Oh, really?
Yeah, both at Dartford Grammar School for Boys.
Why?
Because that's where they lived.
Oh, right.
Yeah.
And was he like, did Mick Junker get a lot of attention at school?
He was really...
Being the row of the stand.
He was really...
Yeah, because he started when he was 11.
Not many people know that.
He was apparently, he was really like fit at school, really sporty.
His dad was the PE teacher.
Right.
And I used to take my dad for basketball.
Wow.
He's still pretty athletic though, isn't he, Junker?
You don't imagine people playing basketball in the past, do you not?
No, not in the black and white times.
No.
But they did.
Is that how long ago it would have been?
It would.
How old's Mick Jugger now?
Well, my dad was born in 47,
so that would have been, what, late 50s, early 60s.
Yeah.
How old am I again?
26.
26 for this fringe and then 25 for next fringe.
Yeah.
We have a good one.
I never said that.
I never said that.
No, I was saying that.
How's your fringe been?
It's been alright. It's been sort of up and down. I had my fringe breakdown quite early.
Oh really? Yeah, I had it on the
first Monday. Wow.
I've made a terrible mistake. I was a really good
social worker and I'm a shit comic.
And I've done a terrible thing
but then I got over over myself and it was fine
what did you do
in your breakdown though
we like to hear
about people's breakdowns
it wasn't a proper
strip off
run across the road
breakdown
it was just
I made them stay
just tipped out
out the window
pretty much
yeah
but I waited there
for ages
to walk past
so I just gave up
and it was not worth it
listen to this
and Ed keeps
telling me off for this
this is not alright
Ed keeps telling me
off for it right
there is a opposite where right? There is a...
Opposite where we live,
there is a girl who every night at the same time
takes all her clothes off in the window.
You say it like she's doing it deliberately.
That's probably just what time she goes to bed, mate.
Yeah, but she hasn't got curtains up, has she not?
Right?
She shouldn't be going,
oh, and I'll take out the same order every night as well.
She's wearing the normal stuff.
People have routines.
And she gets up,
then she takes her bottoms off
so you can see her bum and she's got her
back to the window.
Then she pulls on
little pant things
that I guess
she sleeps in.
Then she turns around
and faces the window
then she takes the top off
and you see her
two clusters.
Are you sure
it's not a fringe show?
Almost certainly.
Did she not do it
on the 13th?
Did she make
eye contact with you?
The problem is
where the bar of her window is I'll show you later on where with you well you see the problem is where her
the bar of her
window is
I'll show you
later on
where the bar
of her window
is
is probably
where her
eye line is
yeah
so she's not
seeing that
I'm there
she's not
seeing your
binoculars
I'm not
hiding
I'm not
hiding
obviously you've
got all the
lights off
haven't you
no I'm not
I'm not
that's the thing
the first night
she did it
all the lights
were off
and I was just
at the window
and you put
camouflage paint
on your erect piece
and I felt really bad about it
so since then
whenever I'm there
at the same time
I'll actually put my light on
give her half a chance
at least give her a fight
still have a good watch
every single night
is she an attractive
young woman
or is she
it's quite
kind of far away
I'm in
lovely
lovely shape
but ladies are
attractive in all
shapes and sizes
that's true
but you know
she's proper
traditional fit
so what triggered
your breakdown please
oh I made the
mistake of reading
a review
oh
I know
I know
and it's just that
silly thing of
reading a review
that really didn't
matter and I saw
the person who did the review and she was pretty much a child.
Yeah.
And then I just got annoyed with myself for letting a child ruin my day.
Yeah.
And then, so then I got annoyed with myself.
And then I started going, maybe I'm just not robust enough to take this.
Right.
And, you know, started worrying that maybe I'd be better off doing something else.
I don't think anyone is genuinely robust enough to just take a bad review.
You've got to take someone who someone just writing shit about you.
No, not at all.
Yeah, everyone will react badly to that and that will upset anyone.
It's just about avoiding things completely, isn't it?
Well, the thing is as well, is when you're stood on stage,
particularly as a stand-up, as a solo stand-up,
you are in control of it.
So if it's going badly, you can take measures to make it better.
But a review is, I mean, it is like shouting insults in the dark isn't it yeah you
can't someone's writing a review saying oh no what no you've misunderstood that you've misunderstood
that you know they just go and write it then it's there and it's out yeah so i mean i'm not saying
it shouldn't be reviewed i don't know because it's it's got to be a part of it but yeah keep
away from them definitely that said i clicked i clicked a link the other day because um our
management had retweeted something how do we been asked? Yeah, they retweeted a review.
You did not need to click the link.
I didn't need to click the link.
Why did you click the link then?
I've really got no idea.
I clicked it,
but I had no intention
of reading it.
Why did you click the link?
Because I wanted to read
the beginning of it.
Right, so you did want to read it.
No, I wanted to see
what was the attack
it was taking, right?
Yeah, and it immediately
backfired, didn't it?
It did immediately backfire, right?
Because I knew it was
a good review, but then the backfired, didn't it? It did immediately backfire, right? Because I knew it was a good review.
Yeah.
But then the opening line
was describing us.
Oh.
Right?
And got us both wrong.
Yeah.
It was unbelievable.
It said that Ed was
young and blonde
and handsome.
Blonde?
Blonde?
Yeah, young, blonde
and handsome
and that I looked like Hagrid.
Well, yeah.
But I'm honest.
I'm honest.
I'm prettier than Hagrid.
I'll be honest,
I know what Hagrid looks like
because I've seen the films
and read the books.
Yeah.
Hagrid is defined
by being over nine feet tall.
Exactly.
And just six free.
Yeah.
So that review was all wrong.
Yeah.
Apart from if you said
it even nice in it,
which I presume you did.
Yeah, you must have done.
I can't imagine
it was just all shit
all the way through
the whole time
it's just all
all about what we look like
fucking awful
the things that they put in
and it's very rare
that you see a blonde
black man
yeah
I just think
we had one
for the late night
package show
that I'm doing
and they just put in
our best punchlines
in the reviews
what are you doing
don't give away are you doing don't
give away the but i don't like any any comment on appearance either no no unless it's a relevant
thing unless that's a person bear unless that's what the person's talking about yeah or you know
if it has something to do with the show then or iman for example for him it's a relevant thing
to it i guess he's high because you know when joe wells Joe Wells comic Joe Wells he's sort of a
youngish new comic
and they called him
Pudgy in a review
and it's like
what on earth
has that got to do
with what he does
it's got absolutely
nothing to do
with what Joe
talks about at all
no he's a political
sort of Marxist comic
how weird
they called him Pudgy
but we've had it
all the time
on Facebook as well
because Ed's lost weight
so all
whereas the comics
used to be
hilarious
brilliant brilliant brilliant now it's all what's wrong with Ed Ed is fit Ed is fit oh look at Ed Ed is fit as well because Ed's lost weight so all whereas the comments used to be hilarious brilliant
brilliant
brilliant
now it's all
what's wrong with Ed
Ed is fit
Ed is fit
oh we look at Ed
Ed is fit
and it's just
every day
to the point where
we consider disabling comments
you just want to go
have you listened to it
yeah
yeah
I don't
you know we don't just
put a picture online
every day
it's a podcast
not a fucking
advent calendar
maybe they've been
doing it as a
caption competition maybe if we go back over all fucking advent calendar maybe they've been doing it as a caption competition
maybe if we go back
over all those photos
those things they've wrote
will make perfect sense
but it gets a bit tiring though
it really does
it gets over Ed
and it gets over me
because it's like
you're not a model are you
you're not here to be
less tiring than it would have done
he could be
he could be a model
if he wanted to
he could model a swimmer
because he's got a big
nominal
has he
nope
neither of us have
but think about that
though
because sometimes
we go
well no
but if you were to do it
with both of us
that would probably
make it a lot easier
wouldn't it
yeah
definitely
but if I had the same
time
like not big
but not big at any
stretch
right
but not so small
that when you saw it
for the first time
you'd go
that's it for me
you'd probably go
well the personality
will keep me here
yeah
okay fair enough
yeah you'd probably go
alright with me
you'd probably go
alright well
I mean it's not
going to open any doors
give it the benefit
of the doubt
yeah
but it's not
you know
it's not a spindly
little thing
or anything like that
you know
it's like a coke can yeah basically it's not you know it's not a spindly little thing or anything like that you know it's like
a coke can
yeah
basically so it's
you know it does
has it got a
ripple
it's got a
massive mushroom
on the end
mine's kind of like
you know it's like
the sort of twig
you'd use for a
snowman's arm
do you know I
once did a
my old flatmate
directed a
corporate thing
for mates condoms about 10 years ago.
Yeah, right.
And I was in it, and I was being interviewed about pleasure.
Inside a condom?
Inside a condom.
Right.
But there were these new condoms, and they were really weird shaped, and they looked like a mushroom.
They were a really weird shaped condom, they were at least.
But I think most condoms are like that.
But these were really...
Got a proper bubble head.
Proper bubble head, like really big.
And I had a gay friend of mine
who was staying with me one night
and we had a few to drink
and we were just sitting
watching telly
and we had a load of these condoms
in our house
so I got one out to show him.
Yeah.
I was like,
look how weird these condoms are.
Anyway,
they were both passed out on the sofa.
I woke up the next morning
and he'd left.
Right.
And then I got a call
from a mutual friend later
going,
Grant's really worried.
He thinks that you've shagged.
Because he just saw the condom. And I was like really worried, he thinks that you've shagged. Because he just saw the thing.
I was like, well nice to know that you just legged it.
His one redeeming thing with it was, well I didn't finish.
Yeah, yeah.
Because it was empty.
Pickle can gamble, pickle can gamble.
Why are we so childish that we can't have a lady here without just being like that?
I don't know.
I guess the mood was set when you took all your clothes off when Angela was on. Yeah, I know, I'm judging myself on this.
Right, let's, come on, let's be with Angela now as if she's a normal male queen.
So you won the BBC.
I did, yeah.
What year did you win that?
Last year, 2011, yeah.
2011, and how's that impacted on your career? did, yeah. What year did you win that? Last year, 2011, yeah. 2011. And how's that impacted on your career?
Well, loads.
I was just an open spot who, I ran a gig in Brighton.
I'd done that for about three years and then just started gigging myself.
I'd just been doing that for just under a year.
Was that in Edinburgh, by the way, BBC?
No, it was in London.
Okay.
Yeah.
And yeah, somebody said, oh, why don't you enter it?
And I entered it right at the last minute because I didn't think I was ready.
Right.
And I got through on a wild card.
I was a runner-up in my heap.
Okay.
Adam Hess beat me.
Whatever.
So you're disabled.
I really like Adam.
Yeah.
And Adam's a fan as well.
Yeah.
And is he a real disabled or not?
Not as much as he is on stage.
Yeah.
No.
I think there's a little bit.
He came up to me the other night and started telling me racist jokes in my ear
but then apologising immediately.
Yeah, he's probably drunk.
But they were really funny jokes.
Yeah.
And he just kept going...
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
It's a joke.
It's just a joke.
Is that alright?
Is that alright?
It's fine.
Just whisper.
It's fine.
Alright, alright.
Sorry.
It's another one.
Sorry, I'm sorry.
It's a joke.
It's a joke.
It's fine.
It's fine.
Well, I think we can all see
why you won in the end
so you trashed
Hess out of it
you beat Hess
I did in the semis
yeah
who else did you beat
come on let's guess
who did I beat
in the final
it was
it was Joe Lysett
well
what's he done
so
yeah
BBC One's
Saturday night's
Joe Lysett
Pat Cahill
yeah who else was there Chris Turner Tezi Elias BBC One's Saturday nights Joe Lycett Pat Cahill yeah
who else was there
Chris Turner
Tezi Elias
and Mark Stucher
and you come out
champion
I did yeah
did you go with them
when you won
I always imagine
if I ever won anything
which is
I mean
looking very unlikely
yeah
but I think
if I won anything
whenever I think
about winning anything
or whenever I think
about
like for example
the awards come out
today
and whenever I think about if I was nominated the awards came out today and whenever I think
about if I was nominated what would I do?
And they're all bad things.
It's all negative stuff.
What is it? Just basically standing
on Arthur's seat going, fuck you
guys! Pretty much.
Yeah, pretty much. It is sort of like...
With your coke can out.
None of it's me going, I'd be very gracious
about it. I'd be like like oh it's a real honour
I'm genuinely
touched to be
among such
brilliant company
it'd all be like
see your review
was wrong
see look at that
oh I bet you
feel stupid
now we've done
that
we'd all be
grateful
that our show
is awful
officially
never to be
nominated for
nothing
but then we
don't know
if we even
had a show
we don't even
know if they
saw us or not
but go on
the thing I'm
saying is
what's it like
to win something
when I got to
the final I was
really happy with
that because it's
like just putting
finalists on my
CV I can have
that
no you won't
I was
honestly I know
you sound like
I'm bullshitting
but I was because
I wasn't ready I had 10 minutes that's all I had I'm not saying you won't I was honestly I know you sound like I'm bullshitting but I was because I wasn't
ready to wait
do you know what I mean
I had 10 minutes
that's all I had
I'm not saying
you weren't happy
with it
what I'm saying
is that wasn't
enough
what I'm saying
it wasn't like
oh I'm just glad
to be in the fight
nonsense
you were going
right I'm gonna
take these mothers
down
I'm gonna do my
best comedy on
that night
I did my only
comedy on that that's all I could do I'm gonna do all my comedy every bit of my comedy I'm going to do my best comedy on that night. I did my only comedy on that night.
That's all I could do.
I'm going to do all my comedy.
Every bit of my comedy, I'm going to ring out on that night.
Exactly, so that's what you did.
You brought out the big guns.
Just to quash Lysa.
I didn't think I could win it.
And I was saying to people beforehand,
if I win this, it could be the worst thing for me,
because I can't live up to it.
Right, okay.
I was really worried about that.
There is always that worry then
isn't there
that could have
backfired massively
it's not because
turns out you
could write more
than that anyway
it was lucky
but that's what
I had to do
as soon as I
won it I just
had to knock
them down and
go right let's
see if you can
actually do this
I'm glad you
realised that
I'm sure there
are some people
that would have
won it and gone
right I'll do
that 10 minutes
for the next
two years
people have done
that haven't they
in competitions
but they very soon go away
they very soon do fall away
if you take that attack
but I think also
another thing with a competition
is I mean
I still don't really know
how I feel about competitions
but I think
the overall thing of it
would be that it would be
a vote of confidence in you
to then go on
and achieve actual greatness
and actual great things
rather than you know
that thing of
I have won the competition
I am the best comic
yeah yeah
well lots of people
friends of mine and family that aren't involved in comedy were like saying
you know oh wow you're a comedian now you know you won this thing that means you're and it's like
no this is the beginning this isn't yeah this isn't me going oh look at what i've done it's
like look what i've got to now do yeah you know it's very much the that was just the step between
being a hobbyist and going right can i actually make this my career and it's that bit of validation
you know you're doing the right thing people bit of validation of going yeah you're a white part
yeah it's validation
yeah that's what it is
you know you're doing the right thing
people genuinely think you're funny
so you're not being a deluded twat
by carrying on
yeah yeah
basically
yeah yeah
because we've all seen them
haven't we
let's be honest
yeah yeah
sat with him
yeah
did you get a trophy or not
I got a sort of big perspex thing
where does that live
it lives on my desk
nice
at home
but the night I got it
because it's quite
it's quite big and chunky and and the final was in London,
and because I live in Brighton, they put me up in a hotel, and we went out, they took
us out for drinks afterwards, and I got this big thing with me, and I had to carry it into
the nightclub.
I felt like I was like 12.
And then when I woke up the next morning, I got a little bit drunk, I think it's fair
to say.
I don't remember going back to the hotel.
But when I woke up the next morning, I got up to go to the loo, tripped over it, it was
on my floor floor and I noticed
there's a big chip
taking up the corner
so I personalised it
yeah
and an empty condom
draped on it
big mushroom condom
yeah
so what have you done
this year in your show
what are you
are you in
it's you and
Matt Richardson
Matt Richardson
is very very good
yes
who goes on first
we alternate good yeah does it make any difference it depends on the audience really sometimes It's you and... Matt Richardson. Matt Richardson is very, very good. Yes. Who goes on first? We alternate.
Good.
Yeah, every day.
Does it make any difference?
It depends on the audience, really.
Sometimes, because Matt's a little bit more energetic than I am.
Because he's, well, for a start, he's 15 years younger than me, so that helps.
Matt is only six.
Oh, you!
Good move.
Thank you.
Good move.
Thank you.
Oh, I'm all flustered now.
Yes, some rooms he's better to open because he's just a bit more energetic.
If it's a bit Wednesday and they're a bit lethargic,
whereas I'm a bit downbeat,
so sometimes I'm not very good with opening.
Although I've got better than that.
I've found this Edinburgh just having to force myself to do more compare-y stuff
because I don't usually compare and I'm not that confident with it,
but I've definitely learned how to do that this year.
It's a really valuable thing.
Yeah,
when you're doing
either a solo show
or a 200 or whatever,
if you're on first,
you do have to
fulfil that role,
you do.
And there are some comics
who'll go bang it,
like Herring for example,
Herring will walk on and go,
so I'm going to tell you
about this
and it just starts straight away.
And even with Richard though,
I often feel rich,
like there's two minutes there
where you think
the audience are catching up with him.
Yeah,
I guess if you're known or people come to see you specifically and they kind of know what you're like anyway,
there's less of a need to do that sort of thing.
Yeah, no, but I'm saying Richard Herring does it, though.
Oh, sorry, who?
Richard Herring.
Oh, I didn't know him.
Whoever that bloke is, he should do a little stuff at the top.
He should definitely do a bit of compere.
I mean, I think he overrides, so he has to cut it right down.
Yeah, yeah.
And it just gets awkward if there's only four people
yeah
he's averaging
four a night
yeah
and to be honest
you can't really
but you can't banter
with someone
when they're sat
there's one person
sat at the back
of a 400 seat
in a different postcode
yeah
what you should probably do
is like do a podcast
or something
you know
get
again
but what you've got to do
if you do a podcast
you've got to get your head
around the technicalities yeah you've got to learn how to record a podcast you've got to get your head around the technicalities
yeah you've got to learn
how to record it properly
rather than just doing it
on your phone
it's not as simple
as just turning up
and saying
well hopefully
someone in the audience
has got a tape recorder
in their pocket
right you should put things
into you know
have things in place
before you start
particularly if you've got
guests on
it's very rude
isn't it
very rude otherwise
to drag people
across town to the stand to not record. It's very rude, isn't it? Very rude otherwise to drag people across town
to the stand
to not record it.
Very, very rude.
But anyway,
who knows.
Was he one of the
finalists I should
own your thing?
Richard?
Oh yeah,
I think so, yeah.
Well, so you know,
he was in a heat with me.
But he was a wild card.
Stupid idiot.
Richard.
Idiot.
So you do
the split hour with Matt.
And you're doing a late night package show as well
Yes a new one
At Guilty Balloon
Late Night Laughs
Which is 10.45
There's six of us do it
But we do it
Four nights
We have four nights on
Two nights off
Which is really nice
That's nice
Yeah yeah
It's a bit tricky
Because when you're doing
An afternoon show
And then a 10.45 show
You've got
You can't quite chill out
In the afternoon You've got that can't quite chill out in the afternoon
you know
you've got that
moving over
you've got the late show
I think I'd rather do it
one night on
one night off
two nights on
one night off
one night on
two nights off
one night on
how long are your weeks
three nights off
two nights on
right
five nights off
one night on
yeah another one yeah then the next day yeah Two nights on. Right. Five nights off. One night on.
Yeah.
Number one.
Yeah.
Then the next day.
Yeah.
Then one day off.
Yeah.
I think you've got about three days left, mate.
Three on.
Lucky you're not doing it, though.
Yeah.
Pick, hook and gamble.
Pick, hook and gamble.
Who are you?
Who's on? Who else is on that?
It's me and Matt Richardson again.
Twice a day, I have to be Matt Richardson.
Are you in love?
A little bit, yeah.
I think he's secretly in love with me.
I think he's got a bit of an Oedipal thing.
I think he sees me as a bit of a mother figure.
When you spend that much time with someone though,
has there been any nights where you've gone like,
come on Matt, we've had a horrible show?
No, although we did...
Let's go home and fuck it out.
We did though, we did go shopping together in go home and fuck it out. We did, though.
We did go shopping together
in Anne Summers the other day.
Really?
Which was really fun.
He wanted to buy a present
for his girlfriend
and asked me if I would help him
come and choose something.
Right, this is going to be good.
So I did.
So we went to Anne Summers
and he wanted to buy her
a rampant Mabit.
Yeah.
And they have all sorts of different ones.
That's very late 90s, Matt.
It is rampant.
Well, it is, but they... You're listening to this now, Matt. That's very late 90s Matt it's rampant if you're listening to this
now Matt
that's very late 90s
no you see
you're wrong
they've souped them up
they're very different
from my
Sex in the City box set
they've souped them up
they've souped them up
oh my god
that sounds terrible
it's a horrific
smorgasbord of filth
right
it was amazing
well when we went in there
what did he go for
he went for the
I can't remember his name but he went for the I can't remember
what it's called
but he went for
the most expensive
super duper one
the decimator
the decimator
the destroyer
gozer
yeah
we went in there
and there were
these two women
I'd say they were
in their 40s
and the shopkeeper
was standing there
talking them through the different ones.
They're all in the packaging in the displays,
and then there was a shelf with an example of each one
out on the shelf.
And they all looked really grubby when they'd been out.
Like a tester.
But you can't test them properly.
No, I learned that the hard way.
Because, you know, I talk about it in my stand-up,
my dad ran a sex shop for a living.
I didn't know that.
I know you told me you did a lot of your stuff. Yeah, my dad ran a sex shop for a living. I didn't know that. Yeah, yeah. I know you told me you did a lot of your stuff.
Yeah, yeah, my dad ran a sex shop, that's what he did.
So I'm quite at ease in those cases.
And in fact, I talk about this in my stand-up as well, the fact that this genuinely happened.
It was when The Rampant Rabbit first came out, and I was with my friend Katie in Anne's Summers in London.
And we were looking at them, and it was really quiet in the shop, and I just went,
Oh, my dad's got me one of those, they're great!
And the whole place just looked at me.
Well, that sounds worse than it was.
He had to order me one because they sold out.
Really?
He had to build me one.
He went down the bottom of the garden, as he sometimes did.
He got his tools out.
He chopped down half a tree.
Took the motor out of the chainsaw.
And I've still got it.
This bear's a tribute to my dad.
So go on, you were in there.
So we were in there and there were these two women being talked through the different models.
And Matt didn't really realise what it looked like, what he'd done,
because he just went and joined them to hear the talk.
And they looked like a tour guide.
Because he wanted to know as well
so like
and then obviously
somebody became really uncomfortable
because this 21 year old
was just standing between them
and I just went
I said
Matt, Matt, mate
you look a bit creepy
like that
and he went
oh sorry ladies
I'm not perusing you perusing
I just want to know
and he goes
it's my girlfriend
so then they looked at me
and I was like
not guilty
it's not me
and then anyway
so he had a bit of banter with them and talked through the with the shock assistant the different ones and had a
go on them and decided which one he wanted and then as we were just sort of having a little
browse around the store one of these two women came up to him and went is it really for your
girlfriend and he went yes she went you're amazing my husband would never do that for me
really dejected i wouldn't buy her the best
one. Do you know how much
money he spent in there that day?
I've got an issue with Ansemers, I think Ansemers
are a bit of a piss take.
They're really super
expensive. I think Love Honey wiped the
floor with them, quite frankly, as
a thing. And I think an independent
shop will always be far better than
going to, they're the Tesco of sex shops. Right. Ansemers, I think an independent shop will always be far better than going to the Tesco of
sex shops. Right.
Take my problem with it.
They're more of a novelty shop as well.
There's so much shit in there. They've been around for
a long time, Ann Summers. So I
imagine Ann Summers the woman
as being very
very old and very rich
and just quite a horrible, craggy
looking, rich aristocratic
woman
and that really
turns me off
so I'll never
get through to
Dawson
whereas he's
raised tight
so
yeah
no no
I might see
a personality
mate
she's horrible
as well
yeah yeah
so he bought
the best
was it a big one
it was fairly
big
it did this
movement
which isn't great
for a podcast
but I just want to see it
like the queen's wave
the queen's wave
yeah like the queen's wave
exactly
which
it would have been like
having somebody doing
the washing up inside you
wouldn't it
I can't imagine that
being pleasurable
just stirring your guts
yeah exactly
I just looked at it
and went that doesn't look
penises don't do that
I'm sure they do
that's the point
if they did
there wouldn't be
no need for them
wouldn't they
well they would
if you're like me
get someone that does what a penis can't do then I wouldn't be no need for them, would there? Well, they would if you're like me.
Get someone that does what a penis can't do,
then I won't be jealous of that.
If you get a sex toy that's exactly the same as me,
and just goes in and out, then I'll go,
well, what is wrong with me? If you bought a vibrator that went limp straight afterwards,
you can't use it for the next half an hour.
Three days.
What's normal, do days half an hour what's normal do that
half an hour
mine works
straight away
does it
yeah
for weeks
no no
yeah
right
I could
I could have a
fuck right
and then do it
a wee straight
you've got to
check it
take it out
first
I check it
and then I
just take it out
no because I think
I've got a
what was that thing
I thought I had for ages
priapism
what is it called
yeah priapism
yeah
I think that's what it is
I think it's that you know
straight away me and
yeah
so what I do right
to be fair
I've been putting Viagra
in as Ribena
so what I do right
I get my
I get it out right
and I push it in and out
of doing funny
when did this podcast
turn into the girly show
and then I do all the
stuff out of it and then give me a minute
and then it's good to go again
but my head is asleep
that's alright I don't need your head
so it's more of a sort of thing
I can lie there
and let it happen again
and I won't mind if you need to go again
so if you're turned on by
having sex with the corpse
also the first time is only about
30 seconds
and you don't cum
it comes out
it comes out the top of your nose
it's like someone's...
It's like a dribbling baby.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's...
I think possibly that's the best way of describing it.
It's like a dribbling...
It's like a baby that you've got on your shoulder that has just done a bit of sick.
Yeah.
Like the milky sick.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But it's not gone bleh like that.
It just dribbles down its chin.
Interestingly, you can wind it like a baby as well.
It does do little burns at the end of it.
And it sometimes cries. Yeah. dribbles down its chin. Interestingly, you can wind it like a baby. It belches.
Yeah, it does do little bursts out the end of it.
And it sometimes cries.
Yeah.
Pickle can gamble,
pickle can gamble.
Have you ever taken Viagra?
I've not, no.
No, I've not either.
My dad used to sell it.
I can say this
because he's no longer with us
so he can't get done for it.
But my dad,
like yourself,
is a type 1 diabetic.
Yes.
So you get free prescriptions.
Yeah.
So my dad used to get
as much Viagra as he could
on prescription
and sell it in a shop
really
I'm not sure
would I get away
with getting that now
I'm not sure I would
I guess
only if you could
attribute
erectile dysfunction
to diabetes
which you can
because of
blood flow
and stuff like that
so that's what he did
and got loads of it
good idea
I feel like it would ache
again I feel like it would ache
but I think it's because
of my experience
with my non-soft penis.
Yeah.
That my bonk on it doesn't go away.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think it would ache.
I feel like Viagra would ache.
I feel like it would be a false way of making it hard.
Well, it is, definitely, yeah.
But that would ache.
It wouldn't be a pleasing.
It would be a fun feeling.
It wouldn't be a full feeling.
Yeah.
Or, no, it might be an overly full feeling.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I bought a blue pill once and never took it.
I bought it in a toilet
in the machine.
This was your
poor prequel
to The Matrix
that you wrote.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But that's not
bad ever, is it?
No.
Not even buying the toilet.
Not getting the machine in it.
Yeah, no, it's like
one of those,
there's like the golden
something.
I think it was that.
Yeah, I think it was that.
And I bought that
and I was a bit scared
of taking it. Yeah. I just never did. That's the bought that and then just, and I was a bit scared of taking it.
Yeah.
I just never did.
There's some weird things in toilets these days.
They do, don't they?
Yeah.
You get little handbag vibrators they said in some ladies' rooms.
Really?
Yeah.
And fuzzy brushes.
Yeah, fuzzy brushes.
And also, think about this.
You can just take as much toilet roll as you want.
It is free.
So, just take a bag down with you.
So, when you get your toilet rolls in the house, keep that, you know that cardboard tube on the inside? Uh-huh. Mae'n ffri. Felly, cymryd y bag gyda chi. Felly pan fyddwch chi'n cael eich toaleta-rolau yn y tÅ·,
cadw'r... y tu hwnnw o'r cyfnod cyfnodol yn y tu mewn. Cadw'r hynny.
Gwyddo i lawr y toaleta lleol. Cynhyrchu'r ddwyloedd a'r papur y toaleta arno ac yna roi'r holl bwyd.
Roi'r holl bwyd. Gallwch chi ddwylo'r pwyd gyda'r pwyd. Ie. Ie.
Rwy'n gwneud y cyfan. Roi'r holl bwyd, roi'r holl bwyd, roi'r holl bwyd, roi'r holl bwyd.
Felly mae'n toaleta-rolau llawn. Ie.
Gwyddo'r holl bwyd yn eich bag. Dyna'r sgwrn o'r song Limp Biscuit. Roi'r holl bwyd, roi'r holl bwyd. Ie, roll it, roll it, roll it. Until it is a full toilet roll. Yeah. Popped out in your bag.
That's what the Limp Bizkit song was about.
Roll it, roll it, roll it.
Yeah, yeah, that's it.
The video is just Fred Durst sitting in a service station toilet.
Yeah.
Just twiddling his tube.
Yeah.
This has gone off in a very odd direction.
More of a discussion, hasn't it?
Well, I like it.
I quite like it, though.
I think we're all getting a bit runny.
Yeah.
We've done so many comics over the last three weeks.
Going on like, oh, comedy.
Oh, doing shows and stuff.
It's just nice to just sit down and talk about dildos and toilet rolls.
Yeah, just normal everyday things.
Just normal everyday things.
Peacock and Gamble.
Peacock and Gamble.
You know your tutty on your wrist that you talk about on stage?
Yes.
Can I ask you a technical question about it?
Yes.
Did it hurt?
Not as much as I thought it would.
It only took about two minutes.
Right, okay.
So it was open really quickly.
I mean, yes, it hurt and I could feel it,
but not unbearably.
Show me on my,
show me on me how much it hurt.
Maybe like that.
Fucking hell!
That really hurt!
No, I want one,
weirdly exactly the same.
Like my dad's handwriting.
I want your dad's handwriting
on my wrist.
No, I want one on my wrist
in the same place
but I'm worried about it really.
I want one just on the arm
above the wrist.
I want one on my arm.
I mean, I'm a bit weird
about wrists.
I do find wrists a bit...
Same.
So I was a bit nervous about it
but I couldn't think of
anywhere else to put it.
It's really lovely.
It's really nice.
Thank you. I think I lovely, it's really nice.
I think I will have it on my right hand though because then...
What is it you want to get?
Then I'll show you.
I can't read that.
Yeah, that's the idea of it.
Right, excellent.
Is that a look mate?
Demon, that's hers.
Demon, okay.
Have you got any tattoos at all?
No, not at all but I like it.
We were both considering getting tattoos during the spring.
Do it.
No, but I think I might do it when I get back to London. It's so considering getting tattoos during this frame do it no but I think I
might do it when I
get back to London
it's so dodgy
do it
do it
do proper research
you've got to be
sure what you want
I mean I know I'm
never going to get
tired of that
no no of course
it's not that I'm
worried about though
it's the fact that we
walked down to
Tullacross the other
day and there was
like about maybe a
one mile square area
with about 50 tattoo
shops in it
and it's like the
law of averages
yeah it's like going down Brit Lane when in it. And it's like, the law of average is something.
Yeah, well it's like going down Brit Lane when you want a curry.
It's impossible to know
who's going to be good and who's not going to be good.
Especially with restaurants, when it's often the shitter
looking ones that are good.
You don't want to go into a shit looking tattoo parlor, do you not?
Yeah, I do. Do your research, I think.
I've got mine done in Brighton
and I asked all my friends that had tattoos done in Brighton
and I worked out. And for the benefit of the podcast
it said tracing of the last birthday card
my dad sent me
so it says
lovely you've got my dad
it's in his handwriting
and so I took the birthday card
into the place
where everyone recommended
and sort of said what I wanted
and the guy was a bit dubious
about doing it
because he said
I don't like doing memorial tattoos
because if they don't
if they don't look perfect
it can be quite upsetting
I thought he was going to say
in case someone comes back to life
yeah
because my dad wants him for a shit tattoo I don't like perfect it can be quite upsetting I thought he was going to say in case someone comes back to life yeah because that haunts him
before he shits at him
yeah
I know I did Memorial once
if there's a chemical outbreak
and everyone comes back
if there's a night of the undead
I will not be held responsible
because I've received no money back
yeah so that's what he was worrying about
it's about fucking him up
but I mean that would
have made me literally
about turn on my ankle
I'd go
if there's even the
slightest chance
you'll put this up
or that you're worried
about I'm going now
but what he did
he took a photocopy
of the card
and said
give me a week
let me practice it
and then come back
so I came back
after a week
and he showed me
what he'd done
and he said
now take that away come back in two days if after a week and he showed me what he'd done and he said now take that away
come back in two days
if you think that still
looks like your dad's handwriting
right
and I was still happy
that it looked like it
I came back
and he was happy to do it
oh that's really cool
yeah so he was really
good about it
but my dad
loved tattoos as well
but he
because he
I was going to have a tattoo
for my 18th birthday
now I've got to think
about donkeys
so yeah
come on Ray
say it
I'm not I'm not
so what vibrator was it
donkey con
like Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh
you can get them by the way
you can get like
massive big donkey
I've got a
do you look like you're about to get one out of your hand
I've got Mary Poppins bag you've obviously got a massive bag Mae'n dda iawn. Mae'n dda iawn. Mae'n dda iawn. Mae'n dda iawn. Mae'n dda iawn.

Mae'n dda iawn. Mae'n dda iawn. Mae'n dda iawn. Mae'n d Ie, rwy'n hoffi eeyore. Felly, ar gyfer fy nheithydd 18, roedd fy mab wedi cymryd i mi gael tatwyd eeyore.
Ac fe wnes i ddewis y lluniau yr oeddwn i eisiau, ac fe wnaethon nhw'r tatwydder i'w hyfforddi, ac felly, chi'n gwbod, i gael hynny'n cael ei wneud yn dda.
Ac pan ddododd y cyfnod, fe wnes i'i botwlio.
O, iawn?
Ychydig munud. Felly, roedd fy mab dda yn ei gael ar ei ffwrdd.
Felly, roedd fy mab dda wedi cael eeyore ar ei ffwrdd, oherwydd mi wnes i ddim yn hoffi gwneud hynny nawr.
Fe wnaethon ni ei botlo. Felly, oedd hynny'n rhywbeth a ddaw Spurge i fynd i fyny ar ôl i chi ddod?
Ie, ie.
Fe wnes i aros am blwyddyn ar ôl i'w maru, oherwydd doeddwn i ddim yn gallu penderfynu pam y byddwn i'n mynd i'r gwaelod.
Mae'n rhywbeth iawn i'w wneud hynny. Rwy'n siŵr bod mwy o bobl yn gwneud hynny.
Wel, rwy'n dweud wrthych chi, dydw i ddim yn gallu cael rhywbeth a wnaeth fy mab ysgrifennu ar car i mi, oherwydd, dwi'n golygu, maen nhw'n ddim yn ddim yn ddysgu. something my dad wrote on a birthday card for me because, I mean, they're just emotionless.
We were fairly sure one year my dad clearly wasn't concentrating when he wrote my birthday card and just signed it with his actual Christian name.
I've heard that.
I've heard that.
To Edward, happy birthday, Andrew.
No, honestly, same I've had Brenda and Ricky on cards.
Yeah.
Honestly, well, she's just not been thinking.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Because she's wrote it and sent it off. I think Christmas cards, I can understand it. When you write a big yeah honestly well she's just not been thinking yeah she's right I think Christmas cards
I can understand it
when you write a big stack of them
and you just go on autopilot
it's your birthday
no
because
it's your children
your son shouldn't be on a stack
of Christmas cards
so
he's right
you're right
yeah
well I'd like
I'd like
when I
when I'm away
which might not be that long you never know do you not but when I'm away, which might not be that long, you never know, do you not?
But when I'm away, I would like you to pick one
at random of the cards I've sent you.
I can't, they'd be all genuinely too offensive.
Right, listen, just pick one of the cards at random.
You've got to put them all together.
I'm going to tell you what would end up happening
from the inside of one of the cards you sent me.
And you can cut it out if you like.
But this is a genuine inside of the card.
I would end up having to have a tattoo on my back
of a drawing of a Down Syndrome boy
getting raped by the Incredible Hulk.
Right.
I hope there's some context to this.
That's only if you choose that panel from the comic strip.
Because that comic strip,
I'm not saying have the entire comic strip done.
I'm just saying have one panel entire comic strip done I'm just saying
I have one panel
the rest of it was just him
walking through the park
so that'd be quite boring
and then the Incredible Hulk
jumps out of a bush
and bombs it
what was I laughing at
was that birthday
or Christmas
I think it was my birthday
yeah
because I've still got it up
because it was written
on the inside
of a Chicago Town pizza box
you can save money on cards
yeah because you think of all the cards you have in your house yeah and if you haven't Chicago Town Pizza box. You can save money on cards. Yeah.
Because you think of all the cards you have in your house.
Yeah.
And if you have a Chicago Town Pizza,
just very carefully cut it.
Nice.
It's that lovely picture on the front.
Yeah.
Put it in half.
Hey, press the card.
And then inside,
you do a bit of art
for your best friend, Ed.
Yeah.
Nice.
That's lovely.
Yeah, it is nice, isn't it?
One year, I got a birthday card
just full of old prawn crackers
from a Chinese takeaway.
Oh.
Yeah.
Oh, my friend did that to me
when he sent me a card
full of dried spaghetti.
Right.
And then,
but it all split in the envelope
so I just got this
plastic bag
from the Royal Mail
with the letter
and some spaghetti
and said,
sorry,
we didn't get all your spaghetti.
Oh, really?
That's lovely.
That's lovely.
Yeah.
I think brilliant birthday cards.
What I do is I,
I empty,
and Christmas cards as well,
I empty my head
before I do it
and then I go to a dark place
in my head to make it as inappropriate as
I possibly can. Because I think that's
really funny. In a greeting card it's really
inappropriate. I know that there was one
year where I sent my other
half at Christmas. I got her a card
which was in deepest
sympathy on the loss of your baby.
Oh my god!
Right? which I then
crossed out all
the perimen
and I crossed
words out
to make it
in deeper
sympathy
in happy
times
of the
loss of your
baby
of your
nice
Christmas
I think it's
a lovely thing
to do
so
get a tattoo
of that
but it is because
I think that card's
inappropriate anyway
yeah
that anyone's even
profiting
unless they're free
that anyone's even
profiting
if you want to
send that message
you should write that
yourself
yeah
totally
don't be bothered
is there a ready
made card
for this particular
occasion
yeah
but then again
I've contributed
to the problem
by funding them
by giving them
my money
so I can make my brilliant joke
but yeah I do
cards particularly
I will be very
very inappropriate on
yeah
and for those check
we've done dildos
we've done tattoos
and we've done greetings cards
on the Edinburgh podcast today
yeah
it's getting towards the end
isn't it
it's just nice
dildos
greeting cards
offer her a three
yeah
oh hang on
that one
no we did that
did we yeah because I said about our knobs alright it would be like I think it needs to be more blatant double entry would be fine Greeting cards. Offer her a three. Yeah. Oh, hang on. That one. No, we did that.
Did we?
Yeah, because I said about our knobs.
All right.
It would be like... I think it needs to be more blatant.
Double entry would be fine because it wouldn't fit.
Right.
I think double entry would feel like just a bit bigger normal entry.
Right, the window's been shut for too long.
Everyone's going mental.
Yeah.
Let's wrap this up, Angela.
Okay.
Is there anything you want to say?
No.
Pickle can gamble.
Pickle can gamble.
Angela Barnes there.
Oh, gosh.
That made my balls go all crinkled.
I'll tell you what. And my penis go very hard.
When I get home from Edinburgh, right,
that's going to be my go-to podcast that week. Is it? Yeah, when I'm on my own.
Yeah. In the car. Yeah.
Driving. Yeah. Have a wank over it.
Oh, right. When I'm driving on the motorway.
That's it from us today. Ray has just detailed the way he's actually going to kill himself by w while I'm driving on the motorway that's it from us today Ray has just detailed
