Starting point is 00:00:00 Pico and Gamble Edinburgh podcast. Good morrow to you. What? Good morrow to you. Why are you doing that? For the morrow. For the morrow. Yep.
Starting point is 00:00:40 Do you know what that means? Yes, I do actually. What's the morrow? I'm Ray Peacock, hello. Hello, I'm Ed Gamble. What's the morrow? I'm Ray Peacock, hello. Hello, I'm Ed Gamble. What's the morrow? I thought you would have forgot. The morrow is a little creature.
Starting point is 00:00:50 Is it? Lives under a bridge. Right. It's not a troll, so I don't want you to get mixed up with that. No, I wouldn't say that. That would be racist. It's not the same thing. It's a little creature.
Starting point is 00:00:59 Lives under a bridge. A morrow. A morrow. And they are afraid of the light, but they also need the light to survive. It's a very, very complex part of the ecosystem. A lot of them die, do they? A lot of them do die from lack of light because they're afraid of it. I suppose only the bravest survive then.
Starting point is 00:01:15 Well, when they mature, the fear of light goes away. So when the children, when the little morrows, the fear of light is very, very prominent. But when they mature, the fear of light goes away. So what often happens in the morrow community is the mummy morrow or the daddy morrow, the mature ones, will grab the little morrow by the scruff of the neck. And the little morrow's going, no, no, no, I don't like it, I don't like it.
Starting point is 00:01:33 They speak English. I don't like it, I don't like it. Drag them out into the sun, right? Boost them up again, a bit like Superman. Chucks them back under the bridge. And then they're good for 48 hours. They're good for 48 hours. That's a morrow.
Starting point is 00:01:44 That's a morrow. Well, good morrow to you good morrow to you as well thank you that's lovely how are you feeling today at Gamble? I'm alright
Starting point is 00:01:49 I'm enjoying myself I'm having a nice fringe do you want to speak about the lady falling asleep in our show? you know what I don't really I don't really
Starting point is 00:01:55 look a woman fell asleep in our show right in the middle right she was sat right in the middle it wasn't in the middle of our show she fell asleep
Starting point is 00:02:01 from the beginning right in our eyeline. Although we don't normally look at people, but I just noticed during a bit where there's a lighting change and then there's some slower music comes on, I thought, there's a woman asleep there. I didn't see it until about ten minutes in the end. Yeah, and she was asleep all that time.
Starting point is 00:02:16 God, that's unbelievable, mate. Yeah. I thought it just recently happened and we make a joke about it, which we did. No, no, no, no, no. And then you broke it to me on the stage. You've been asleep from the off. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:24 She, I mean, incredible. Yeah, didn't. And then you broke it to me on the stage. You've been asleep from the off. Yeah. She, I mean, incredible. Yeah, didn't you? It is the loudest show on the fringe. And obviously she looks very embarrassed when she wakes up. Yeah. She didn't. Yeah. She looked like, she's like, yeah, well, have a sleep.
Starting point is 00:02:34 I mean, I'm so angry about that woman that I didn't pick you up there on your use of the phrase when she woke up. Yeah, woke up. Yeah. Yeah. And I said, I said during the show that I was actually genuinely disappointed that she wasn't dead yeah
Starting point is 00:02:46 because when she woke up I was like alright well then that just is depressing yeah but if she had been dead brilliant publicity yeah
Starting point is 00:02:52 killed a woman woman dies beginning of Peacock and Gamble show that's not to say that I don't performers don't notice it's not to say
Starting point is 00:02:58 that I don't you know that I'd be overly heartbroken if she did die tonight well she might die in another show yeah she could do
Starting point is 00:03:03 couldn't she yeah and they'll get all the publicity. God I hated that woman. Yeah so there's the downside to it but on the upside got some
Starting point is 00:03:09 free tomato sauce tonight. Yeah he nicked some tomato sauce. Yeah and you've been a bit sort of testy about it haven't you? About stealing yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:15 It's not really stealing. You know what I'm like that about the theft. It's not a theft mate. It's not a theft. It is? It's not.
Starting point is 00:03:21 They were charging a fortune for their food. You can't justify things like that. They had seven bottles. Don't buy the food then if you think they're charging They had seven bottles of tomato sauce there. Your is? It's not. They were charging a fortune for their food. You can't justify things like that. They had seven bottles. Don't buy the food then if you think they're charging too much.
Starting point is 00:03:26 They had seven bottles of tomato sauce there. Your morals are very skewed. I've been trying to get tomato sauce, that's true. Yeah. And there doesn't seem to be any in Edinburgh at the moment. Yeah, no, there's none in Edinburgh. I'm sure there is somewhere, but I've not found it. No, well, yeah, you've obviously not been looking, mate.
Starting point is 00:03:38 Right, but do you know what it is? It's because all these little stalls are buying up all the tomato sauce and having seven bottles. Yeah, yeah, you're sort of like Robin Hood in a way, you're sort of a condiment Robin Hood. Yeah, I am, so I took the tomato sauce.
Starting point is 00:03:48 What's your issue with it? Stealing. It's not stealing. It is. It's not. That tomato sauce is there to be used.
Starting point is 00:03:54 Yeah, to be used, not taking the whole bottle, it's there for everyone to use. I want to use it. So now someone goes along and they want to put
Starting point is 00:03:59 some tomato sauce in this bottle. You want to do the six bottles? No, mate, that's, that's, well, no, because what if
Starting point is 00:04:03 another prick comes along and goes, oh, I'm having that. Right, there's still five bottles bottles? No, mate, that's, that's, well, no, because what if another prick comes along and goes, oh, I'm having that. Right, there's still five bottles left. No, if it keeps happening, there might be, there's, conceivably, there's seven people
Starting point is 00:04:12 who are as big a bellend as you out and about. Right, listen, listen. Four, three, two, one. Behind the counter, hang on, we're low on tomato sauce. Wipe another five out. Well, you don't know what they've got?
Starting point is 00:04:21 They've got loads of tomato sauce from town. You can't, mate, at the heart of it, you can't justify that you've stolen a bottle of tomato sauce. Okay. Alright then. Go on then.
Starting point is 00:04:28 What's on the side in our kitchen at the moment? What's on the... On the side in our kitchen at the moment? A bottle of tomato sauce that you've stolen. What else? I don't know. I'll tell you what else is there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:36 A shitload of biscuits. Yeah. A shitload of biscuits, mate. Yeah, that were there to be taken. How did we acquire those biscuits? They were on a rider for something we were filming, so they were there for the talent. For the entire crew?
Starting point is 00:04:47 It wasn't for the talent, it was for the crew. They said at the end, take as much as you want. But if I'd have gone over... So that's exactly what happened. If I'd have gone over at that storage now and said, how much of this tomato sauce can I have? I should have gone, have as much as you want. Yeah, but don't take the bottle.
Starting point is 00:05:00 But don't take the bottle. She wouldn't have said that. She wouldn't have said that. If you'd said, can I take the bottle away with me? She would have said, no, you can't. Because that's for the customer. They're quite friendly in Scotland.
Starting point is 00:05:09 They'd make that, ah, go on hen. They wouldn't make that. Go on hen, take it. You at no point now have justified stealing a bottle of tomato salad. I totally have. I totally have.
Starting point is 00:05:17 You stole a load of biscuits today. I didn't steal a load of biscuits. They said take as many as you want. And you stole, but you were in the process of stealing them. They were for us to eat. They were a rider. They were for the crew. They were for everyone. And they said at the end, the day's finished, take as many as you want. And you stole... But you were in the process of stealing them. They were for us to eat. They were a rider. They were for the crew.
Starting point is 00:05:26 They were for everyone. And they said, at the end, the day's finished, take as many as you want. Tomorrow, that crew will go in and they'll go, where the hell are our... And you also... You took the biscuits as well. No, but I'm not the one trying to defend it.
Starting point is 00:05:35 I'm not... I'm not... No, no, I am the one trying to defend it. I'm not the one attacking it. I don't have to defend it. I don't have to defend that decision. You're a thief, mate. You're a biscuit thief.
Starting point is 00:05:43 I'm not, because they were... I'm not a biscuit thief. Poo, poo-pan leverer. That's what you're known as now. Biscuit thief and poo-pan. It amazes me how pathetic... Poo-pan? ...and immature you are sometimes.
Starting point is 00:05:52 We'll quickly go back and think of something new. But that's true, though. Leaving you in shitty pants in a public convenience. How's that all right? But we're not talking about that! I know, but we're not. I've just... You've brought this up!
Starting point is 00:06:03 I've borrowed a little bit of tomato sauce! You've borrowed it, have you? Are you taking the bottle back? I might do, one day, you never know. You take it back tomorrow? No. We're going- we're going down there tomorrow, we're taking it back. Please don't march me down there! We're going down there, and yours are gonna say, I'm really sorry, here it is back.
Starting point is 00:06:16 I'm not doing that. Fine, you can go down anonymously and put it in as an amnesty. But what if then they see me doing it and they're like, it's alright, we've got plenty. Why- why are you giving us tomato sauce charity? First as soon as you've worked up tomorrow morning
Starting point is 00:06:28 you're going to take the bottle of tomato sauce back down. Right this is what I will agree with. No you're a criminal.
Starting point is 00:06:32 If in the newspapers I do not negotiate with terrorists. If in the newspapers right tomorrow they say there's some tomato sauce missing and we're trying to
Starting point is 00:06:40 find the culprit at the moment. Well I'd imagine they'll bring it up in the papers because apparently there's a shortage of tomato sauce in Edinburgh. Exactly Maze you've got a dog eat the culprit at the moment. There's a drawing on it. I'd imagine they'll bring it up in the papers, because apparently there's a shortage of tomato sauce in Edinburgh. Exactly, mate. You've got dog-eat-dog here at the moment.
Starting point is 00:06:49 It's dog-eat-dog. Yeah, it's dog-eat-dog. Yeah, it's hot dog-eat-hot dog with no tomato sauce, because he nicked it all. Mate, if I get the tomato sauce and someone else doesn't, then I'll look, mate, I got the tomato sauce. All right, yeah. All right, that's the way of the world.
Starting point is 00:07:00 The terrible apocalypse film. So today's our guest, Daniel Sloss. Daniel Sloss. Daniel Sloss. Now he misbehaves. He does misbehave. He's a naughty boy. But he is a very, very naughty boy indeed, actually.
Starting point is 00:07:11 Yeah, in fact, I think you should be hanging out with that Daniel Sloss because he's clearly influenced you in a bad way. I think he has a bad influence on me as well. And also, you won't be able to see this in the interview, obviously, because it's audio, but through a lot of it, I think he wanted to go toilet because he was held in his willy for ages. But that's what you get with young lads I think it was too
Starting point is 00:07:27 embarrassed to ask you get obsessed with touching it when you really aren't playing on it all the time all the holes in walls
Starting point is 00:07:33 plays the willy banjo a bit yeah plays the willy banjo strong as his willy banjo our show is Heart Rob's
Starting point is 00:07:40 9.45pm Pleasant's Courtyard but look if you feel like you want to go to bed rather than come and see it do don't cometyard but look if you feel like you want to go to bed rather than come and see it do don't come and see it
Starting point is 00:07:47 if you're feeling sleepy don't bother so so far issues banned from our show people who think that you can come in late with a drink yeah fuck them
Starting point is 00:07:55 just have your drink stay outside sleepy people people who think I'm so sleepy I might fall asleep in the show despite it being really loud yeah
Starting point is 00:08:03 and dicks and dicks yeah no dicks in the show and do you really loud. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And dicks. And dicks. Yeah. No dicks in the show. Yeah. And do you know what? If you're a fan of us by the way.
Starting point is 00:08:09 Yeah. We love that. I think it's great. Please don't be afraid of us when we're on the stage. No it's fine. Just enjoy it. Just enjoy it. Meet us half way if you want. No good sitting there with your mouth open.
Starting point is 00:08:17 In fact just none of you fucking come alright. There's one way of doing it. Yeah. Just fuck it up. Then we don't have to do it alright. Yeah. Nothing worse than seeing people not laugh all the way through then signing an autograph for them
Starting point is 00:08:25 ah here's another one Daniel Sloss little human lad Peacock and Gamble Peacock and Gamble I laughed my fucking ass off at the
Starting point is 00:08:35 Ramesh one was one of those things yeah it was it was really good wasn't it it was so funny but I think people
Starting point is 00:08:39 genuinely don't realise it wasn't as it seemed it wasn't outright racism. It was the thing you had with your friends. It was more racist back, I felt. What I get the same way with my gay friends
Starting point is 00:08:51 is to my gay friends, I am horribly homophobic just to their face. I'm just going to stop you there straight away. You're what friends? Oh dear. Oh, not close friends, obviously. Who are your gay friends that you've got
Starting point is 00:09:05 who are all your well I know Craig Hill Craig Hill he's gay he's a gay lord he is isn't he mate yeah but he hides it
Starting point is 00:09:14 so is that known I would say for me to out him I think he's very solid Craig may be gay may not be gay we don't know
Starting point is 00:09:21 whether publicly Craig is gay or not he keeps it quiet on his posters if he is. His posters are quite classy, aren't they? Yeah, but based on people's posters, you would also immediately assume that Craig Humphries was gay. Yeah, that's true. And I can say that because he's my flatmate. Is Craig Humphries your flatmate?
Starting point is 00:09:37 Yeah, he's my flatmate. That's nice. No, it's not. We're all friends together. One of Craig's posters last year, it was the first poster graffiti we saw before the Fringe had even started. I don't really agree with poster graffiti. There's been quite an increase in that this year, we think. No, but it was a make.
Starting point is 00:09:50 It was genuinely so blunt that it made us scream with laughter. I can't remember what the show was last year. It was Craig in a kilt. It was Craig in a kilt. It was a typical sort of... Why don't you come down the front, I think it was. It was something like that.
Starting point is 00:10:00 Just typical sort of camp over the top. And someone had just, in massive black letters, written, no. Just like, no, I'm not. No, exclamation mark. No.
Starting point is 00:10:13 Not having that. No. I like seeing the graffiti. I've seen some stuff of mine, but I'm always disappointed because it's never good on mine. It's just, it's always a knob on the head.
Starting point is 00:10:22 Yeah, what do you get? Because the graffiti this year, the most graffitied poster I've seen is probably Kane, Russ Kane. Oh, I've seen a few on the Lee Nelson ones. Yes, actually,
Starting point is 00:10:32 there's quite a few on the Lee Nelson ones as well. And Ramsay. And Ramsay, yeah. And I guess Sterling a little less, Ian Sterling. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:39 It's normally the young, good-looking lads, isn't it? Yeah. Generally speaking, or the more popular comics. Or the older, or the older good-looking lads. Yeah, generally speaking or the more popular comics or the older good looking lads
Starting point is 00:10:46 yeah like Lee Nelson yeah so I suppose it's actually a comment on popularity yeah is what it is
Starting point is 00:10:54 I think maybe the reason I don't have that much this year is because most of my poster is black most of them are on the side of buses so people can be
Starting point is 00:11:01 bothered to run what did you get so it's just knobs on your head knobs on your head knobs on your head you've got you're holding a microphone so you can turn that
Starting point is 00:11:09 into a knob quite easily yeah but it's it's dead black like it was the only place you can really draw a knob on my face I just don't like that
Starting point is 00:11:16 when comedians hold no but I've got a caveat for that I know what you're going to say it's a live it's a live photo yeah that was yeah that was a live show
Starting point is 00:11:23 but the reason I did it is because for the past three years my posters have just been child porn. Right. And I wanted to... Because I've not done jokes about my age since I was like 19, but it is something that every year...
Starting point is 00:11:35 How old are you now? 22. 22? You're all grown up now, aren't you? I'm a dad now. Little Daniel Sloss has grown up all big now. Shaved last week. And I saw when you stretched a minute ago,
Starting point is 00:11:45 you had hair sticking out of your t-shirt. Peacock and Gamble, Peacock and Gamble. Your age was kind of when you first sort of broke through, when you first started doing comedy. Your age was a thing, wasn't it? I mean, that obviously must have been a decision on your part. Yeah. I mean, I mentioned it, like,
Starting point is 00:12:03 I think I had about five minutes at the start of my show or like when i was doing 10 minute spots i referenced my age a lot but that's because it was a one of those things that you should sort of mention it was the standard thing you go on stage and you talk about yourselves but then i used to get very annoyed with people going oh you're still doing jokes but being young i'm like well no there's about seven minutes in an hour show about being young and you don't get annoyed at you know fat comics for twin jokes would be fat female comics for twin jokes would
Starting point is 00:12:26 be female what what what what what what what
Starting point is 00:12:29 what what what what what what what what
Starting point is 00:12:29 what what what what what what what what
Starting point is 00:12:30 what what what what what what what what
Starting point is 00:12:30 what what what what what what what what
Starting point is 00:12:31 what what what what what what what what
Starting point is 00:12:31 what what what what what what what what
Starting point is 00:12:31 what what what what what what what what
Starting point is 00:12:31 what what what what what what what what
Starting point is 00:12:32 what what what what what what what what
Starting point is 00:12:41 what what what what what what what what
Starting point is 00:12:43 what what what what what what what what
Starting point is 00:12:43 what what what what what what what what
Starting point is 00:12:44 what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what I think you're putting words in my mouth now. Well, no, I just can't remember. That's all I'm saying. It's not that sort of podcast. Right, okay. It's just a nice chat. Oh, yeah, it's a lovely chat. You can ask me all confrontational straight off the bat. All right?
Starting point is 00:12:53 Can I just say, everyone, before we started recording, Ray said, I'm going to be confrontational. It's the exact phrase he used about himself. But I'm trying a different way of doing it. I'm trying to be, like, passive-aggressive. Oh, so you're turning me into the bad guy. I'm trying a different way of doing it. I'm trying to be passive aggressive. Oh, so you're turning me into the bad guy. I'm just seeing if it works. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:13:08 Okay, so at what point do you stop mentioning your age? Oh, like, once I sort of didn't really see it as a thing. Once I sort of established to my audience that I was young, and I was like, hey, I know I'm young, let's go to my material now yeah I don't mention since then but it recently came up a lot was because people are interviewers and reviewers always go oh so you're quite young you're quite young do you get annoyed about people mentioning your age you know what like you are now yeah you I know your opening line in this thing is going to be Daniel Sloss the whatever age comedian apparently gets annoyed about people mentioning his age at the right old age of 21.
Starting point is 00:13:46 People do, but I don't know whether there's any press about you or anything like that. There's often an age-relation thing in that. There's often something... There was a thing recently, which I presume is just something they took from Warranty and blown it up. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:59 But it was... I can't remember what it was. It was something about... You'd said something about you'd never met anyone above the age of whatever it was. It wasn't miserable. It was on Chorl's front page. Yeah, yeah. That's why you're here, mate.
Starting point is 00:14:10 Oh, right. No, no, there was. There definitely was. I think I'd mention audience-wise, I always say that I don't believe there should be an age limit, a lower age limit.
Starting point is 00:14:20 I think there should be an upper age limit. I would happily let nine, ten, eleven years old into my audience because I've been watching comedy since I was 5 you can't offend
Starting point is 00:14:28 a 5 year old I would debate that you can't offend a 5 year old but you can scar a 5 year old oh yeah you can scar a 5 year old
Starting point is 00:14:37 and you can really make their parents really cross yeah yeah and that's what I've done every time there's been a complaint on my show it's been a 12 year old laughing at jokes and it's been a complaint on my show it's been 12 year old
Starting point is 00:14:45 laughing at jokes and it's been a parent who's been uncomfortable about finding out how much their child knows yeah but is there an element
Starting point is 00:14:52 of that of responsibility is there an element of that where the reason for a complaint would be I don't know if it's justified or not but the reason for a complaint
Starting point is 00:14:59 would be because they're approaching it from an angle of maturity so they're going well hang on this isn't acceptable for my children to hear this. Yeah, but your job as a parent shouldn't be to stop what your child sees. Well, they shouldn't talk to the show in the first place.
Starting point is 00:15:12 Yeah, yeah. Your job as a parent should be to... I mean, I say this as a point from someone who's not a parent that I know of. Whoa! But you should... It's not to censor what your child sees, it's to let them see the things and then explain
Starting point is 00:15:25 to them that there's wrong oh Rihanna shouldn't be dancing in those sly clothes on television you shouldn't put her on television no she should be
Starting point is 00:15:31 on television you should just be able to sit your daughter down and be like don't dress like that tramp yeah
Starting point is 00:15:36 you're right it should be a case of using it as an example of what not to do rather than something to express yeah I'm not.
Starting point is 00:15:45 If anything, I'm the opposite of a role model. What are you? The thing where you just, as a parent, you bring your child along and go, don't do that. Don't. See, this is what happens. Although he looks like he's having fun,
Starting point is 00:15:58 we won't love you if this happens. If you become this. So, it's good this. We're getting deep now. So, do you think that you're unlovable? Oh, entirely. Do you? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:08 I've always said I'm shocked when I find out that people on the comedy circuit think I'm nice. I've never, I've never heard that. It's not a rumour I've heard forever.
Starting point is 00:16:16 Oh, right, okay. I'm shocked to hear that as well. Oh, well, I think it's because I started that rumour. Did you? Just in a little disguise with the glasses
Starting point is 00:16:24 and the moustache and going, have you heard Daniel Sloss is really nice? It wasn't even subtle, just a bunch of comics who weren't talking to me because I'm such an asshole
Starting point is 00:16:32 where I whispered in their ears going, oh, that Daniel Sloss is really nice. Oh yes, oh yes. Well, I think when I first became aware of you,
Starting point is 00:16:40 I think I... I was standing behind you breathing heavily. Yeah, you were just talking in my ear saying, I am nice, I am nice. No, I think when I first became aware of you as a comic, you breathing heavily yeah he was talking in my ear saying I am nice I am nice no I think
Starting point is 00:16:47 when I first became aware of you as a comic I can't speak for Ed but I know I had an
Starting point is 00:16:51 immediate knee jerk reaction away from you where I was like oh I don't like him oh no I don't like him
Starting point is 00:16:57 he's a little upstart I don't like him at all and then I confirmed your suspicions no not at all
Starting point is 00:17:01 see I'd not even met you at that point and that's the thing and that happens I think that happens in comedy quite a lot. Not just comedy, in life.
Starting point is 00:17:07 Where people make assumptions on people because they've known them from somewhere else. But when they actually meet them, they're perfectly charming people. I mean, you see them, in comedy particularly, you see them gig live and you're like, no, they're fucking ace. They're great.
Starting point is 00:17:18 But I definitely, I can remember definitely going, ooh, no, I don't like him. I don't like him at all. Yeah. No, do you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just hard to hear that from no, I don't like him. I don't like him at all. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just hard to hear that from you. I'm sorry, man.
Starting point is 00:17:29 I like you. I like you now. Although that's pretty surprising. I get that a lot, especially from my older comic. When I was 18, 19, it was always that thing where I just knew
Starting point is 00:17:40 people weren't going to like me. One of my favourite moments was when an incognito turned round to me and went it's really weird because I don't wish you were dead
Starting point is 00:17:48 that's one of the nicest things anybody's ever said to me it's better that way round that people have that knee jet reaction when they
Starting point is 00:17:55 haven't met you and go oh I've met him now I like him and he's a good comic rather than just he looks interesting oh no he's a
Starting point is 00:18:00 cunt I'm glad it is that sort of way round I think it's interesting it's an interesting thing I think people get the same way oh no he's a cunt oh he's a piece of shit yeah I'm glad it is that sort of way around yeah but I think it's interesting it is it's an interesting thing
Starting point is 00:18:08 I think people get the same way about Ramsey because when I well I think I knew Ramsey first yeah yeah so I was always like oh no he's just a wally yeah
Starting point is 00:18:17 he's a lovely lad I didn't know Ramsey we always compared to each other because we did both have the same hairstyle at one point and then we never met each other
Starting point is 00:18:24 we met each other at Latitude one year we never met each other and we met each other with a latitude one year and we just got on and we just get on really good sat down taped the charts together yeah
Starting point is 00:18:31 read some comics in the corner and then you got some bubble gum and a competition who could do the biggest bubble did you ever swap gigs
Starting point is 00:18:40 like an 80s film or anything like completely swap lives we just we were like Andy Kaufman and what's his character
Starting point is 00:18:47 Nessie Malman Danny Clifton yeah it's quite high minded for you and Ramsay I think much more
Starting point is 00:18:54 a little bro yeah but I can understand people I can understand people having a reaction to Chris
Starting point is 00:19:00 Chris Ramsay saying McCain if we're talking about all the younger comics I'd say yourself Daniel Russell Cain Gamble Gamble's pretty young yeah Chris, Chris Ramsey, saying McCain, if we're talking about all the younger comics, I'd say yourself, Daniel, Russell Cain.
Starting point is 00:19:07 Gamble. Gamble. Gamble's pretty young, yeah. But I don't think there's any reaction to you. I think perhaps because you're... I don't know. Stay clear of it.
Starting point is 00:19:13 I don't think there is. I don't think there is so much. Also because you were a nice, attractive fat boy. Yeah. And then you became this sort of horrible, emaciated skeleton.
Starting point is 00:19:23 Yeah. And I think because you became... Are you speaking on behalf of all older comics? Most comics. Yeah, yeah. I think because you didn't start, you didn't break through as a younger looking lad. Yeah. It's quite clever what he's done, really.
Starting point is 00:19:37 Snuck in. If you'd have done this, mate, you'd have just, like, put on about 20 stone and then just been good at comedy for a bit and then... And you can do it that way there's ways around these things same for me really that's the problem arriving as a
Starting point is 00:19:51 fully formed package you want to really let one thing go and then you sort of build it if you go along so maybe just get fat or yeah a bit racist yeah a bit racist
Starting point is 00:20:00 yeah a bit racist yeah a bit racist yeah a bit racist yeah a bit racist yeah a bit racist yeah a bit racist yeah a bit racist yeah a bit racist
Starting point is 00:20:00 yeah a bit racist yeah a bit racist yeah a bit racist yeah a bit racist yeah a bit racist yeah a bit racist yeah a bit racist yeah a bit racist

Starting point is 00:20:07 Which I think might be sort of end of the pier. I think that's where you've got to go. What I will say to you, Daniel, as an overall thing, at the moment is you have no room for improvement. You've arrived as fully formed, and I think it's going to be frustrating for you, and it's going to be nice for your audience, who will always have a very nice time when they come to your shows. But for you, you will feel like,
Starting point is 00:20:23 well, where do I go from here? Yeah. I am complete so where do you see it going what comedy comedy wise yeah I don't know
Starting point is 00:20:30 it's the thing I've always been asked what do you want to do next and I well can I when I was 17 I just wanted to make a living in comedy
Starting point is 00:20:38 and I'm doing that now so I'm done I must have been mad then I wasn't making a living at your age I must have been mad having all that money it must be mad making a living what your age I must have been mad having all that money what did you spend
Starting point is 00:20:48 all your money on genuinely one of the stupidest things I bought is I own a life-size replica of a velociraptor you don't pay rent because you're still
Starting point is 00:21:00 living with your mum probably but unfortunately I split it with Rowdy my raptor now how much did you spend on that well it was reduced because you're still living with your mum probably. But unfortunately I supplied it with road in my Raptor now. How much did you spend on that? Well it was reduced.
Starting point is 00:21:10 Mate, that is exactly what I always do. When people say to me, how much did you spend? I go, well first off, you're going to have to say how much it is because I have no idea how much they cost to start with. So I can't go, oh it was reduced because I... Well no, no, because it is something that everyone, it's not one of those things you go, oh it's alright, it was. Right, let's try and guess.
Starting point is 00:21:25 Let's try and guess. Full size, to the point where I can sit on it. Right, right. What's it made of? It's a fibreglass. Is it official merch? Is it from Jurassic Park or something like that? Oh no, no, it's, I don't think so, no.
Starting point is 00:21:35 Somebody's just made it independently. Yeah, I think it was like, some guy makes them for like theme parks and stuff. Fine, okay. And it got shipped over from France. Okay, well the price has come down now. Are we including shipping in our guesses? Yeah, oh yeah. I reckon at full whack, that includes.
Starting point is 00:21:43 Top of the list. Top of the list. Top of the list. Top of the list. Top of the list. Top of the list. parks and stuff fine and it got shipped over from France are we including shipping in our guesses I reckon at Full Wack that included tops
Starting point is 00:21:50 tops three grand that's tops but you've got it's whoever's closest so you've got to just make it cool what do you think
Starting point is 00:21:56 I'm going to say 2600 okay I was going to go slightly less I think I'm going to go
Starting point is 00:22:04 I think you're right to go less I think I'm going to go... I think you're right to go less. I think I'm going to go two. 600 quid. Fine. And what did you pay for it? 600 quid. You paid 600? Including shopping.
Starting point is 00:22:13 It was originally three grand. And it was reduced to... That's the point. You didn't include the reduction. I said three grand. I said it. No, let's do it again. Let's do it all again.
Starting point is 00:22:23 Right, all right. I think it was three grand. said it no let's do it again let's do it all again right we can say it at the same right okay I think it was three grand and you paid maybe five six hundred maybe
Starting point is 00:22:30 okay I think in the end you paid six hundred but I think it started out as three grand no that's
Starting point is 00:22:36 and last last guess wins right that is true I hate this so what do you when you got that and it was just there yeah when That is true. I hate this. Peacock and Gamble, Peacock and Gamble. So when you got that, and it was just there, the idea of it must have been fun, like I bought a full-sized Velociraptor,
Starting point is 00:22:53 I'm having it shipped over from France. When you were just sat in your room, looking at a full-sized Velociraptor, at any point did you feel quite sad that you'd done that? Oh, the first little while, we did spend the first few days just walking past him and laughing. Who's we? Me and my old flatmate at the time, Natalie.
Starting point is 00:23:10 And then I brought a girl home one night, and he used to be in my room, and I totally forgot he was there. He? I've checked. And, yeah, he was in my room, and she went in. I was like, oh, just make yourself comfortable. I'll go get some wine and stuff. And then she went in and I was like, oh, just make yourself comfortable, go get some wine and stuff.
Starting point is 00:23:25 And then she went in and she shrieked and I was cock-blocked by something that was well over 200 million years old. That's impressive, isn't it? I think the most impressive part of that story is you saying, I went to get some wine. Yeah. Charming little man. I am a wonderful host.
Starting point is 00:23:40 Yeah, yeah. Peacock and Gamble, Peacock and Gamble. So, why... Speaking of which, just randomly, there's a game of poker tonight which a bunch of comics are playing and just randomly I hope you enjoy it
Starting point is 00:23:49 I'm just bragging about my social circles I don't know I play poker we tried to learn once didn't we yeah I used to play poker
Starting point is 00:23:57 oh no I know I'm going to lose we're just there to drink and smoke and have a laugh as soon as you say there's a big load of comics going
Starting point is 00:24:03 I think Ray's immediately put off yeah but then I want both of us to go to watch how Ray reacts in that scenario well I don't have
Starting point is 00:24:10 an issue with comics groups of comics groups of comics I have an issue with yeah but one on one I can quite happily sit and talk to
Starting point is 00:24:16 anyone really I think what's your problem with groups of comics I don't know I just think there's a bit of dick swinging
Starting point is 00:24:21 starts happening and it just ends up being a little bit sort of I'm not one for testosterone other than my own
Starting point is 00:24:27 I've got none of it I'm the same none at all could you find that out of your school medical she's like there's nothing down here
Starting point is 00:24:35 no I absolutely hate that side of things like Steve McKay like I've never been in a fight and I'm the sort of I've been punched in
Starting point is 00:24:42 the face but I've never been in a fight but I'm the sort in a fight. Right. But I'm the sort of person that once it gets to competition, I'll talk people out of it. I hate this sort of stuff. I hate this sort of, well, I want to be the biggest and strongest. That's why I used to hate going to nightclubs.
Starting point is 00:24:57 It's just a bunch of, boo, lads ego. But deep down, I'm a better person than you because I don't need to do that. Yeah. Well, I think my leaning would be towards getting out of it without fists. However, when that situation arises, in the moment when it's happening, I do start thinking, this is my opportunity to punch someone in the face.
Starting point is 00:25:16 I was all ready to throw down the other night. Yeah, both of us. And we were hopelessly outnumbered as well. Yeah. With what happened? We were standing in the courtyard and there was a group
Starting point is 00:25:26 of lads kept throwing their sort of finished plastic pine glasses but they were still like liquid in the bottom of them
Starting point is 00:25:32 into the bins but we were standing there and they kept hitting me and they were hitting our friends and stuff and we said just stop doing that like three or four times
Starting point is 00:25:40 and in the end we were just staring them out one started eyeballing me now the big man would go oh you're a child and just look away but in me I
Starting point is 00:25:50 went oh you think you can eyeball me do you mate I have just done a show and I'm not really feeling very well well you watch this
Starting point is 00:25:58 look that I'm doing now and so I just locked eyes with him for a long time yeah and then they got off with each other
Starting point is 00:26:06 in the end it was amazing it was amazing because people were moving in front of us so I used that opportunity at one point to just look
Starting point is 00:26:13 and I was chatting with Ed yeah blink loads blink loads and Ed was staring got myself ready put some up checks in my eyes just Ed splashing
Starting point is 00:26:20 your face going you can do this come on I believe you you can stare him out but they were sort of you know they were because they were very close we could hear that
Starting point is 00:26:27 they were getting ready for you know for Fisticuffs and we were I mean there were like seven or eight of them and there were two of us but it was at the point
Starting point is 00:26:35 where it was like I'm genuinely this kicks off and I'm just going for the biggest one yeah in those situations I'm awful
Starting point is 00:26:41 but that's why I'm glad I'm friends with Kai Kai is just a working class ugly Batman. Yeah yeah. Like whenever he sees injustice in the world whatever he'll just... and he's just... he is quite... because he's Geordi he's quite hard on himself. Yeah. Like it was a case... he's not gonna like me telling this story but neither would my agent but fuck it. That's how I'm doing during the film, war stories. He was in Australia this year
Starting point is 00:27:05 and he phoned me he was like you're on Skype get on Skype now I'm like alright okay why and he goes I'm in trouble
Starting point is 00:27:10 I was like what have you done he's like I'm used to these phone calls from people it's like right okay you've done something you've had sex with someone
Starting point is 00:27:17 you shouldn't have or you've done something or you've got your penis is missing again or just you shit blood like you always do so we get on the Skype and he's just sitting there and what had happened was he'd gone into Or you've got your penis is missing again. Or just... You shit blood like you always do.
Starting point is 00:27:27 So we get on the Skype and he's just sitting there. And what had happened was he'd gone into McDonald's. He's in there and there was this big Scottish guy who was just steaming. And he was just screaming in his girlfriend's face. Just screaming, screaming, screaming in his girlfriend's face. And a group of guys at the table behind him went, Do you mind? Could you just keep it down, guys?
Starting point is 00:27:44 But he kind of tried to do it in a sort of bamf way and the Scottish guy just lost his shit I went you shut your fucking mouth you know what I'm talking about today and then his anger like smacked his like coke
Starting point is 00:27:51 all over his girl just so she was drenched and she started crying and he got up and he went oh look you made me
Starting point is 00:27:56 over to the group of guys and so he went up to the girl started taking his watch off and went do you want me
Starting point is 00:28:01 to sort this out and she went yeah and he went over to the guy tapped him on the shoulder and the guy looked really angry and the guy just punched him went over to the guy tapped him on the shoulder and the guy looked really
Starting point is 00:28:05 angry and the guy just punched him twice in the face and knocked him out clean cold
Starting point is 00:28:08 and then two of the guys sitting down at the table went we think you better leave and the guy
Starting point is 00:28:14 was just out cold completely so that's why I like having time that's exciting but that would never end like
Starting point is 00:28:21 that if I did it I'll do it I'd point to someone and then go, this would hurt. I don't think I wouldn't have adrenaline
Starting point is 00:28:28 that kicked in to stop that pain. It would just be loads of bits of my brain going, that's the stupidest thing you've ever done and you're about to die. And now... See, all I would think, it would never occur to me I could lose the fight. That would never even occur to me.
Starting point is 00:28:41 I think too far ahead. I think too far ahead. But I'd be thinking, oh no, they will sue me. Right. I will too far ahead. I think too far ahead. But I'd be thinking, oh no, they will sue me. I will get, oh no, I will get GBH. Do you know what I mean? All those things start occurring to me.
Starting point is 00:28:52 But I'd have no issue whatsoever. We've all met people that actually deserve it. Oh yeah. They actually deserve it. Violence is often, but some people do need to be punched in the face.
Starting point is 00:29:00 Totally. And I'm a pacifistic man by nature. But there are absolutely people, like that gentleman you're talking about in Australia, I have no issue with him getting punched in the face. Totally. And I'm a pacifistic man by nature. But there are absolutely people, like that gentleman you're talking about in Australia, I have no issue with him getting
Starting point is 00:29:08 punched in the face. Yeah. No issue with that at all. Yeah, no. My perfect fight situation was, I was on a platform
Starting point is 00:29:15 at a train station once, and a woman ran up to the platform in floods of tears and went round the corner and hid right down on the far end
Starting point is 00:29:22 of the platform. I bet you found her there and you punched her. I know, Ed, you would have found her and definitely punched her really hard in the face. Don't you follow what you're getting. We're in public. This massive bloke bowled up, like, looking really pissed off, and he came up to me, like, quite aggressively and went,
Starting point is 00:29:39 did you see where a woman went? Did you see where that woman went? And I went, yes, she went in that direction, and pointed him in the wrong direction that's the ideal fight for me yeah that's perfect isn't it she went down there to that
Starting point is 00:29:48 cafe isn't it nice that all these things are like we're justifying them with chivalry yeah all we're thinking
Starting point is 00:29:55 is don't care if there's a girl there and we'll punch a man in the face it'll be handy if there's a crying girl there that'll help
Starting point is 00:30:02 if you punch a man in the face then the girl will come and hang off your muscles at the end. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, I'll have a photo taken in front of my phone post. So you brought your PS3 out with you? Mate, just let the young lad thing go. You don't have to go, oh, you've got a PS3.
Starting point is 00:30:19 What games have you got? Have you completed Pac-Man yet? Well, I was going to trade on Pokemon cards you're quite into like because this is another thing that annoyed me
Starting point is 00:30:31 about you there was an interview I'm glad you have a list that you showed me we've changed the name of this podcast to Settling Scores yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:30:38 that's fine but no you showed me the interview I remember you showed me the interview because I think we'd done a gig together in London
Starting point is 00:30:44 it was the first time I met you it was one of those shitty so TV ones yeah that was it we did that and you were on there that was the first
Starting point is 00:30:51 one of those yeah I don't think we really spoke then I think we sort of had a wavy thing yeah yeah no I think you'd
Starting point is 00:30:57 done quite well and no one else did so I'd gone off to another gig afterwards I did alright no you didn't mate shut up
Starting point is 00:31:03 I find that good yeah I know. That's it, mate. Air quotes. I think... I'm sure you showed me an interview with Daniel Wade. I farted on the head of So Television. That's true.
Starting point is 00:31:15 That's true. The head of So TV was not Graham, but the other bloke was getting out of a cab and Ed was stood there and he did it on purpose but at the point
Starting point is 00:31:24 that the man got out, we won't even name him but you'll be able to find his name. You have done already as well. The point where he got out of the cab, Ed had his bat zoom and farted at that point. Really bad one as well. So the man got out of the cab into the fart.
Starting point is 00:31:39 I think then I went on stage and mentioned it and no one, it was just silence. Did you say it on stage? Yeah I said it on stage because that was in the time where I had some stage and mentioned it and no one, like, it was just silence. Yeah, it was just... Did you say it on stage? Yeah, I said it on stage. Because that was in the time where, like, I had some material and some of it was all right. But quite a lot of the time, if I was gigging with you, I'd be perfectly happy for you to go, you should go on and say that in the beginning
Starting point is 00:31:55 and go, all right, I will go on and do that. And go, no, that's not what I'm fucking talking about. Well, we had a little relationship with So Television because Jason Dawson who Jason who's now he's now gone to
Starting point is 00:32:08 Big Run Better Things really I guess but he's at the time he was a fan of the podcast and he got in touch with us and said he works for So TV
Starting point is 00:32:15 do you want to come in for a meeting and we went oh yeah that sounds brilliant we were like oh that's really cool people taking notes of us
Starting point is 00:32:21 and we got to So TV and he met us at the door and we were sort of like, so where are we going? And he was like, I thought we could go to pub. Right, we were like,
Starting point is 00:32:29 well, are we not going to go into the building? He was like, no, no. I'm ashamed to take you in. No, but we were generally like,
Starting point is 00:32:34 he's not even told him, he's got us. We're just working, but it's a cleaner or something. And he just wanted to have a drink with us and we went out to drink and stuff and had a chat and we were still good friends with Jason,
Starting point is 00:32:44 you know, we were sort of, not good friends, that's not fair no acquaintances with Jason yeah I've heard those sorts of things did you think that was
Starting point is 00:32:52 going to be a big thing when you first met him I don't think we thought it was going to be a big thing we thought we'd get into the office I think we genuinely believed he worked there wait wait
Starting point is 00:33:00 when you say the office you mean not not the show the office no because then I was almost as optimistic. I thought we'd get a part in The Office.
Starting point is 00:33:09 He wrote that, didn't he, Jason? He told us that. Yeah, I think he wrote that. Yeah, he wrote The Office. It's also, he created Alan Partridge. I think Jason created Alan Partridge. Who would whine about creating Alan Partridge and not getting credit for it?
Starting point is 00:33:26 That's a brilliant edit point. I remember when I was 17, I was in So You Think You're Funny and I got to the final, didn't win, but it was that thing afterwards where you're in this sort of party and it's the schmoozing.
Starting point is 00:33:37 I'd never been schmoozed before. Yeah. So I just thought it was genuine. So I had just people coming up to me and going, here's my car, I'm going to clean this, I'm going to clean that.
Starting point is 00:33:44 I'm just saying, what can I do? I didn't even win,'s my company this could be that movie star and this guy got in contact I want you to come down and film this a pilot I was like okay that sounds awesome when we went down it was me and it was Eric Lampert first time I met him yes Anders here shot Doc Brown and I. I think they'd all realised that it wasn't this big thing. It was this TV show where we're all meant to be in a rock band and stuff.
Starting point is 00:34:10 But I remember phoning my agent at the time, just going, how much do you think I'll get an episode for this? And she was just like, what? And she's going,
Starting point is 00:34:18 right, okay, off the top of my head, if this were to be a thing, which is not, can you buy something? And I'm like, I'm going to be fucking loaded. And she just started out and then nothing came of it
Starting point is 00:34:28 I'm going to buy a velociraptor one day I'm going to have enough money to buy a velociraptor I'm going to wait four long years
Starting point is 00:34:34 dinosaurs it's weird though pilots are a weird one though aren't they because you can get carried away with a pilot and you can I always think it's best
Starting point is 00:34:42 even though I don't think we've even adhered to this but I always think it's best if you do a pilot to not even mention it don't mention you've even adhered to this but I always think it's best if you do a pilot to not even mention it don't mention you've done a pilot don't mention anything
Starting point is 00:34:48 to do with that because then all that happens then is you then have to have the discussion later on about how it wasn't picked up
Starting point is 00:34:53 how it didn't happen whereas if you just wait and see if it gets picked up and then you can say okay there's
Starting point is 00:34:58 a series then you can start talking about it well I have the opposite problem which is a lot of people come on and go yeah mate I
Starting point is 00:35:03 really enjoyed your sitcom I'll manage to catch one episode of it I'm like yeah there was only one well I have the opposite problem which is a lot of people come up and go yeah mate I really enjoyed your sitcom I might just catch one episode of it I'm like there was only one you saw you saw all of it
Starting point is 00:35:11 thanks very much for watching every single minute of it it's all coming out on DVD yeah you did I thought that you did a set
Starting point is 00:35:20 Ed Byrne was in that wasn't he he was yeah Ed was in that so what happened with that did that not we don't have to rake over our wounds but was that no it was it wasn't great it was was it that, wasn't he? He was, yeah. Yeah, Ed was in that. So what happened with that? Did that not... We don't have to rake over our wounds,
Starting point is 00:35:25 but was that... No, it wasn't great. It was... Was it not? I didn't see it. It was called The Adventures of Daniel. Okay. It was one of the...
Starting point is 00:35:32 You played Daniel? I played Daniel. Good. Well done. That would have been awkward. It was really awkward. I had a lot of people coming up to tell me, going, you know, you're really good at acting.
Starting point is 00:35:39 I'm like, yeah, but I'm playing myself. It was on BBC Three, wasn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. The thing is... It would have been terrible if you'd created something on BBC Three, wasn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. The thing is... It would have been terrible if you'd created something on BBC Three. I didn't create it.
Starting point is 00:35:49 It was... No, but if you... If I was the superior head point of it, yeah. And then I'd want to get Wyatt Flop. Okay, come in and audition. Pardon?
Starting point is 00:35:57 Yeah. Or worse, we've recast Daniel. Yeah. Oh, is he going to be played by... Oh, it's just... Day Lewis. He's been living as you We've recast Daniel. Yeah. Oh, who's he going to be played by? Oh, it's just... Day-Lewis.
Starting point is 00:36:08 He's been living as you for 60 months. They wouldn't do that, BBC Three. Yeah, no. And I think apparently it got really good sort of ratings and stuff, especially with that time slot, but it just... What time was it on? I think it was on at 8.30 or something. Okay, so a lot of yours haven't gone to bed yet.
Starting point is 00:36:24 You had, unfortunately. I bet you had all your friends watching that video the next day. And then you put it on and it was snooker and your mum had taped the wrong channel. Mum, I was on the telly last night and you had taped the wrong channel. Why do you think Daniel's mum watches snooker? That is such a classic mum thing to watch. You know when you walk downstairs in the evening and your mum's watching Snooker?
Starting point is 00:36:50 See when your dad gets home. He doesn't make me dinner. If you walk down and your mum is watching Snooker, there are two rules. One is, do not look underneath the cushion that's next to her. And two, don't ask her what she was really watching. Turn it over fast. Mum, you're really into this, aren't you?
Starting point is 00:37:13 Yeah, love the... You're all sweaty and panty. Yeah, I know. It's the bit where they get the black ball in. Pea cooking gamble, pea cooking gamble. So this year at the Fringe, you're on all the buses. I don't mean like Olive. I mean that you're...
Starting point is 00:37:30 I want to be on the buses, but only the green-ish ones. You're on the side of all the buses, which gave us a right giggle when we first arrived. Loved that. It was brilliant. What a day. No, no, it's not even... You can't do it, man. It's not that. It's just, it's always shocking and funny to arrive at the Fringe
Starting point is 00:37:47 and then realise all over again what a massive business it is. Oh, yeah, yeah. And the size of the posters and everything getting bigger and bigger every year. It's like, fuck a bus. Yeah, don't do that. I remember the first time, this was like, I think 2000, I think it was, when I'd been up 99. And in 2000, we came back to the Fringe,
Starting point is 00:38:05 and Ross Noble had done bigger posters than everyone else. Now, it's a standard-sized poster now. But posters used to be like, yeah, big A1, is that whatever it is? Yeah, that sort of size. And everyone had the same standard posters. And then one year, Ross came back, and he had posters the size that you just see everywhere now. So it's his fault?
Starting point is 00:38:23 Pretty much, yeah, yeah, yeah. And everyone's like, that's not fair. Whoa, what is happening yeah and i think that was the moment i think it was genuinely the moment where it went right and then the year after jamon had a huge one coming out the side of the gilded balloon which oh no so on the opposite side of the balloon it was just a huge tarp on which they managed to get up wow and it was one of the ones that that year everyone went oh yeah i remember it was yeah two six i think it was one of the ones that that year everyone went, oh, yeah, I remember it was two six, I think it was. But it's insane
Starting point is 00:38:46 though, isn't it? So you're seeing it on the bus there was like, that's insane, man. That's like really,
Starting point is 00:38:50 you know, it's where's it going to go? Yeah. From there. Arthur's seat. All of it. All of it.
Starting point is 00:38:55 I'm going to paint my face on the side. Are you going to do it yourself? Yeah. It's going to be a big smiley face.
Starting point is 00:39:01 Have you got a tag? Because you're a little boy. Have you got a tag that you always a little boy have you got a tag that you always do well we're just like it's a graphic oh that sloss
Starting point is 00:39:10 sloss has done that that sloss is tag that's like I don't even have a good I don't even have a good signature like every time I sign something
Starting point is 00:39:22 I can always just see my fans going oh that's it and I'm like do you write like a child oh my handwriting is appalling
Starting point is 00:39:29 and I even hold my pen wrong I hold it like that that's how I hold it because I just always have that's insane so you're doing
Starting point is 00:39:35 what's I think technically known as a beadle hand it's a velocigrip isn't it yeah but yeah when I remember
Starting point is 00:39:46 when I was nine years old my dad was he was like right you're sort of the age we should learn to hold a pen properly so I'll pay you I'll pay you 50 quid
Starting point is 00:39:53 if you hold your pen properly and then I did it for a week and then I just gave him 50 quid back I was like it's not worth it
Starting point is 00:39:59 and I've always been that level of stubbornness I don't eat vegetables right and I just don't I hate them and they're disgusting and pointless
Starting point is 00:40:07 you stupid boy I know I am that's ridiculous I'll eat them in soup and stuff on it's part but if it's just a stand alone carrot
Starting point is 00:40:14 it can go fuck itself you're an idiot you're just there how often do you get offered a stand alone carrot my parents keep me in a hutch
Starting point is 00:40:23 and I've got years on you son and I'm telling you now I've never been offered a carrot My parents keep me in a hutch. I've got years on you, son, and I'm telling you now, I've never been offered a carrot. Are you doing this to me? Surprised you can find a carrot in your house. And when you're not going to bed, when you're told.
Starting point is 00:40:38 No, but I mean, like, if it's on the side of the plate. It's my little anarchy. Daniel, I'm surprised you couldn't find a carrot in your house if your mum's got the snooker on so you don't you don't
Starting point is 00:40:53 or you won't eat vegetables I don't eat vegetables often I will if like if I've sort of cooked them I'm very picky if I've cooked them myself and I know I cook them in the way that I like them
Starting point is 00:41:01 yeah how do you like vegetables cooked deep fried no it's with carrots as long as it's in as part of it like them how do you like vegetables cooked deep fried no it's with carrots as long as it's in as part of a like I eat carrots
Starting point is 00:41:08 and leeks and onions as long as it's in as part of a stew but if you just put carrots and peas and sweet corn beside a bit of meat you've cooked
Starting point is 00:41:15 that stuff can go fuck itself because why are you so aggressive because I was always why because it's too old no it's right yeah is that the sort of
Starting point is 00:41:23 thing that old people like in the war? I remember it was hot, I was traumatising. No, it wasn't traumatising. A very, very detailed one who's actually traumatised, it makes this sound really pathetic. Slow down, this goes out in England as well. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:41:43 When I was seven years old, my grandparents would come down and they'd cook. I had one set of grandparents that were just, they loved spoiling their grandkids. And then another set of grandparents who were arguably good grandparents, because they were the ones who went, eat this, finish this, do this, get it done. And they would put the carrots there and they'd go, you're not going to leave the table until you've finished your vegetables. And I would sit there for three hours just at the table just going, I can sit...
Starting point is 00:42:07 But that's... But that's... Okay, but that's a thing, isn't it? So that's time in memorial. That's a thing where kids won't eat the vegetables and you tell them you can't leave the table until you've ate your vegetables because they're good for you, blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:42:17 But I think the fact that you even have it as a fact about you... Yeah. I don't eat vegetables, I think is cynical marketing. I think it's cynical marketing. I think somebody said to you, say you don't like vegetables
Starting point is 00:42:32 because then you will seem more like a child. Yeah, we need to ring this out. Pick your nose in interviews. Shuffle your feet a lot. Have a sleep after 25 minutes We're not definitely saying this is going to happen But you should consider a propeller hat
Starting point is 00:42:51 Every time I do a joke Just spin it around I don't eat no carrots for dinner And then just pretend to take off I don't eat many vegetables But I'd never give it as a little fact about me carrots for Denny. And then just pretend to take off. I don't eat many vegetables, but I'd never give it as a little fact about me. Okay, I don't class potatoes as vegetables,
Starting point is 00:43:13 because they're not important ones. They're not ones that are like, they're not part of your five a day. Carrots, same texture as a potato. So, technically a potato. I'm going to pull you on that. No, no, but carry on. No, same with butternut squash probably fine butternut squash isn't a potato
Starting point is 00:43:30 no but it's it's a squash it's basically onions, leeks and peas and carrots and lettuce, the green stuff I'm not going to eat what my food eats I eat cows and cows eat that stuff so therefore...
Starting point is 00:43:45 I eat grass. Which is green. So, the same. Yeah, but I eat beef, but I don't eat shit. And there's different colours, aren't there? Do you know what? There's no point in arguing with him. If he's going to behave like this, if that's his attitude...
Starting point is 00:43:58 If you want this interview to carry on, you're going to have a bit of character. Oh my God, I'm going to die. If you... This is what happens! This is why everyone always thinks I'm young, because it always fucking happens in interviews. Listen, listen. And now it's gonna be like, oh look at him harping on about how fucking young he is.
Starting point is 00:44:11 Daniels! Stop it! Stop it! Don't think if you have a little tantrum,'re going to get your own way Right, be quiet A minute This is genuinely the worst behaviour I've seen last week Right, now stop it Listen, if you think you can just carry on being a professional comedian
Starting point is 00:44:40 Go and swan in about the place, get all the big laughs in your big venue And then just live on pizza, then that's your own lookout. But you do not come into another person's house and start raising your voice like that. Right?
Starting point is 00:44:52 Is that understood? Is that understood, Daniel? Yes. Yes, what? Right. Good. Now, what's your favourite pot group?
Starting point is 00:45:06 Let's have a nice interview without little boys coming in here shouting and screaming, showing off. Oh, I took a girl back to my flat. What? Oh, very good, Daniel. Well done.
Starting point is 00:45:18 What? A year ago? They saw my velociraptor. Oh, very brave. Unbelievable. I'm sorry. I'm going to back out this into you. I'm sorry, mate.
Starting point is 00:45:28 Should I just... Is that it over? Should I just leave it? I think, to be honest with you, what you need is a nap. I think you need to have a quiet... You've had coffee, which you shouldn't have.
Starting point is 00:45:36 You've probably had pop on the way and not told us. You've come in here all excited. When's your show on, please? 8.30. Very good. The SEC and then I've also got two shows on Fridays and Saturdays. Very good. The SEC and then I've also got two shows
