Hello, I am Ray Peacock.
Hello there.
Hello, I'm Ed Gamble.
It's good the way that you join in.
Yeah, I do, yeah.
Yeah, all right then, because you are, I mean, essentially you are learning.
Yeah, I'm having a go.
Because you're only a youngster.
I'm having a go at it, aren't I?
Yeah, you're giving it your best crack anyway.
How are you getting on in Edinburgh?
Yeah, oh, it's going very well, bud.
What is it?
What are we in, second week now?
Second week of it now, yeah.
Second week.
Now, I'd imagine getting a little bit tired by now.
Actually, no, it's the third week.
Is it?
Yeah, I think so. Oh, I'm knackered then. Oh, yeah, third week yeah yeah i think so oh i'm knackered then oh yeah yeah are you really struggling i'm
knackered and i'm crying most nights i'm gonna imagine a lot of walking there's a lot of hills
in edinburgh yeah oh so my first year in edinburgh 1999 i lost two and a half stone you're joking
over three and a half weeks whoa because i was walking everywhere yeah i mean really i should
go to edinburgh again yeah just for a bit of a walk up and down the hills. See, I walked everywhere last year,
but then I walked to, like, a restaurant.
Right.
The one that saw me off, the walk that kept doing me
and made me lose all the most weight,
was from where the old Gilded Balloon was
before it burnt down on Cowgate.
Yeah.
And it's a walk up that hill towards what was a firkin' pub.
It's not anymore.
Up towards that firkin' pub.
Literally, just that walk, 100 metres.
Yeah.
Killed me.
Killed me, but by the end of it, I was running up that hill, like Kate Bush. That's what she'd done, a song about
it. Yeah, she'd done run up the hill, didn't she? Yeah, I know. Well, there'll be more
references like that in the podcast today, because it's a very exciting podcast today,
because it's back in black and white again. Make it a bit classy, innit? A bit retro,
mate. Yeah, make it nice and classy, like Schindler's List or Laura Linardi. So we're
doing it in black and white at the moment.
Yeah.
Even though I doesn't really like black and white films.
But there won't be a little girl in a red coat ruining it.
Not necessarily that.
I mean, there might be something in it.
I'll tell you what I might do.
What?
In this week's.
I might try and get a piano up a nil.
Like in Laura Linardi,
try and get a piano all the way up a nil in a dance. Oh, no, I'm not bothered by all that old stuff.
I hate when you diss Laura Linardi.
It really, really annoys me.
Yeah, I know.
Why do you think I do it?
Welcome to the podcast.
Right, well, as you know, Ray...
That's my name.
Don't wear it out.
All right.
Pooh.
And I still use my normal one.
All right, sorry, Ray.
Just don't wear it out.
That's what I'm saying.
All right, okay.
I'm saying use it.
Just don't wear it out.
Yeah, because then you can't use it anymore.
No, I know.
Don't put my name between your thighs and your jeans.
Because then that will wear it out.
No, don't chafe it is what you...
Yeah, don't chafe my name, folks.
Yeah, and if possible, right,
don't rub my name up and down on a washing board.
Don't grape my name.
Yeah, don't grape my name on a cheese grater, please.
Hey, and while you do, don't leave my name in the greenhouse because it'll fade it.
So don't fade my name.
That is my name, but don't fade it.
I tell you what, mate.
With my name, right, don't put it in without fabric softener.
You'll get bobbles on it.
I tell you what about my name, right.
The best thing about my name is right
never use it as a bib because i don't want to get tomato sauce all down it so i'm saying that is my
name but don't spill tomato sauce on it all right so be careful about that i don't you can use my
name for address me just don't use it as a bib all All right? And I think we have got that clear now.
Right.
So don't fade my name.
Don't use it as a bib.
Don't grate it.
Don't wear it out on a washing board.
Thank you.
Or don't chafe it and don't bobble it.
All right.
I'll tell you what, mate.
Right, you can use my name.
That's fine.
And Ray is my name, right?
Yeah.
But don't put it in an art wash.
Don't do it on a white wash.
You shrink it.
Yeah, it's too hot for my name now.
Don't put it in a wash with a red sock.
Yeah, please don't shrink my name and then make it a bit pink.
Hey, I'll tell you about my name, right?
Yeah.
Don't want to put it in the bottom of a kettle.
You get all limescale on it.
Don't scale your name up, mate.
Whatever you do.
I'll tell you what.
If you're going to put my name near the bendy pipe, right,
you better use Calgon, mate.
Because I'm not getting scale all over my name.
I'll keep that in mind.
What are you going to talk about
right listen
my name is Ray right
but don't put it in a
microwave because it
has got metal on it
so whatever you do
it's not suitable
to put in a microwave
because it is
my name is wrapped
in tin foil a little bit
so don't put it in a
microwave because it
makes all sparks
everywhere like in
Gremlins
hey mate
yeah
if you're going to
use my name
make sure you check it regularly
and give it a bit of WD-40 because I don't want it getting rusty on the inches.
Right, I'll tell you what, right.
Right, my name is Ray, right,
but make sure you have it serviced every 10,000 miles, please,
because I don't want my cylinder head on my name for a go.
Tell you what, my name is Ed, right,
but make sure you check it every week and dip it in vinegar
because otherwise all the olds will get crusted up.
Right.
Listen, right.
My name is Ray, right?
And you can use it as my name.
But don't leave...
Because I take part in being metallic and that.
Don't leave it out in the rain, right?
Because it will get all rusty, right?
So that is my name, but don't make it rusty.
Right.
Ed is my name, right?
Yeah.
But don't let it sit in the bath too long,
otherwise it will get all pruney.
Anyway, what were we saying?
I don't remember.
I can't remember what it was all about, this section.
I think it's ended up being a bit about our names,
which we do, right?
And they are our names, Ed and Ray, right?
But don't let them go in the bath and get all pruney and don't put them in the bendy pipe and get live skin.
Don't leave them out in the rain because they will get rusty and please
make sure they are serviced every 10,000 miles and if you're right don't put it in the microwave
because it has got metallic bits on it and then sparks will come out like a gremlins
too right and and and don't wear it out on a washing board right and please don't wash
it with white socks and that because it will with a pink sock in there as well because
it will end up losing all its colour right so be careful be careful about that. When you are using my name,
my name is Ray,
but don't wear it out
and don't do all those things
that I was saying about before, right?
Just bear that in mind
if you are going to address us personally.
I mean, it might be better off now
if you just call us mate.
Right, so I was asked
to write my blurb for the back of the flyer for Edinburgh.
For your Edinburgh Friends show?
Yeah.
Which you're doing at the moment.
Which I'm doing at the moment, yeah.
It's already done.
I bet that blurb's going really well.
I'm disappointed, though, that you didn't use my one.
Well, you did actually suggest something earlier, yeah.
Ed rang me the other day, and he went,
I've got to write a blurb for the back of my flyer.
I went, right.
He went, I don't know how to do it.
I was like, well, what do you want me to do?
I can't write you a blurb.
And you're going, yeah, but I've never done it before? I can't write you a blurb. And you're going,
yeah, but I've never done it before.
I don't know.
And you have done.
You've done three Edinburgh shows before.
Yeah, but I don't like doing,
like, writing it
as if it's not me writing it.
Well, that is just a lie, isn't it?
Yeah.
Because that's what all acts do.
If you look at the back
of people's flyers in Edinburgh
or anywhere,
you know, in the theatres and that,
they've all written it themselves.
Yeah, but I feel painful doing it.
Yeah.
Because I hate trying to describe
my jokes
while going like, oh, it's really cool. Yeah, no, but it's about selling yourself in it. Yeah, I'm painful doing it. Yeah. Because I hate trying to describe my jokes. Yeah. While going like,
oh, it's really cool.
Yeah, no,
but it's about selling yourself,
isn't it?
Yeah, I'm rubbish at that.
Yeah, you've got to learn to do it.
Or you can do it,
you can be self-deprecating as well,
I suppose.
But I think the one that I sent you,
because I've done like,
I've done six Edinburgh shows.
Yeah.
I'm a dabander in me, mate.
Yeah.
I know how to do it.
I knock you one out,
no bother.
No, to be honest,
I quite liked it.
Our manager.
Yeah, James, our manager.
Not so impressed.
No, the thing, the problem with that is, right, that's fine.
Yeah.
But that's putting you above me.
That's going, here is some work that one of your clients has done about another client.
Yeah.
Who's younger and newer.
Right, whose side are you going to take?
And he's come back and went, that's not suitable.
What did you take me on for in the first place?
Actually, I shouldn't say that, because he might start thinking it.
Why did I take him on in the first place? Actually I shouldn't say that because he'd start thinking it. Why did I take
him on in the
first place?
Right well shall
I read?
Shall I let the
listeners know?
I thought it was
brilliant.
I thought it was
bang on the money
and I thought it
was you all over.
Right here we go.
Yep let's go on.
Ed Gamble first
came to prominence
on the Peacock
and Gamble podcast
brackets available
for free on iTunes
alongside Ray Peacock.
Ray Peacock is a
hugely popular MC and headliner
and is much in demand for live work across the country.
He is also a prolific actor
having been on Doctor Who skins and Doctors.
Ed is his friend.
What is wrong with that?
I said, blip.
So that, I think, for where you're at in your career
that is perfect, mate.
And the quote you wanted me to use
is one that you've genuinely
given to clubs before
which I believe
is always on there
when I do
Bratton or Comedy Cellar
which is
it's quite simply
fat
Ray Peacock
and the thing is right
mate they bloody love me
at Bratton
all that audience
they will take my word
for something
if they see I've done
a review for someone
it doesn't matter
what it says
they'll go
he is fat
you know what
if Ray says he's fat,
then I bet he will be fat in the end.
I miss the old
deliberate mistake section already.
Well,
cheer up,
Sonny Jim.
Why?
Is he going to bring it back? No, we're not doing that, cheer up, Sonny Jim. Why? Is the BA going to bring it back?
No, we're not doing that, but we're going one better.
What?
It's the time everyone's been waiting for.
Yeah, biting the nails.
With bated breath.
All week long, so I'm going blue now.
Yeah.
It's time to announce the new competition.
That's right, yeah.
In a way.
Yeah, sort of.
Sort of.
The new competition reel...
Yeah.
...will be starting in about three weeks' time. That's correct, yeah. In a way. Yeah, sort of. Sort of. The new competition reel... Yeah....will be starting in about three weeks' time.
That's correct, yeah.
But don't hold your breath until then, because that is mental.
Yeah, and impossible.
Yeah, and impossible, right?
Unless you are a corpse.
Or Ari Doudini.
Yeah.
I bet Ari Doudini could have done it.
You know the man from the olden days?
Yeah, Doudini off the olden days.
Yeah, I reckon that Doudini could have done it, no bother,
just under a tank of water,
where a woman flew and bullet at him.
So, unless Ari Doudini is listening,
then don't hold your breath for that long,
but if Ari Doudini is on it and I'm going to listen for it,
then do that, do one of your tricks on the stage.
Right, so the new competition
reel starts in three weeks
I can't believe we're doing this
the audacity of us doing this
yeah right
well no don't give it away
alright go on
but the competition now
is that
they have to come up
with their own
their own competition
yeah that's right
you see what has happened
is basically
is me and Ed
have run out of time
we are trying to do this podcast
and we're doing our very best to promise Scouts
honour, right? But we're also writing
a TV thing and we've got gigs and all the rest of it.
I mean, it's hard to do
it, but we enjoy doing it. Oh, we love it, yeah.
It's sort of a day off. Yeah.
Right? But we've not
got time to come up with stuff. No. We write the letters
and that. So what's the best way
on Radio Write or podcast
to make it look like
something's happened?
Get the audience to do it.
Listener created content.
Exactly.
It's the way forward
in the digital age.
Yeah.
So what we want you to do
is come up with a competition
for us that's going to
start in three weeks time
as Ed said.
Yeah.
And we will start doing that
and you don't win nothing for that.
Don't go thinking
you are going to win a prize
for coming up with
the competition we use.
Yeah that is literally
you just doing the work for us.
Yeah.
If you come up with a competition that wins and we use, that is ours then.
Yeah, we own that and we own all the rights to it, right?
You will have to enter that competition like everyone else.
Yeah.
And if you win it, well done.
Coincidence.
No, you can win your own competition.
Yeah, but only then will you win a prize.
Yeah, and this time there are genuine prizes.
Yeah.
We had to stop recording
a minute ago.
Well, about half an hour ago now
because we started recording a section
front door went
went and got it
only ended up in a bloody
porno film, mate.
Well, sort of, yeah.
Well, it was as good as a porno film
wasn't it?
Yeah.
Right, it's a girl from upstairs, right?
Came down all blonde and that.
And this is true, this, right?
Fully blonde.
Yeah, fully blonde, right?
And she went
is your TV working?
Is your TV working?
And I went yeah, I think so. Right, I'll just go. Like, come in, we'll have a look at it. Yeah, fully blonde, right? And she went, is your TV working? Is your TV working? And I went, yeah, I think so.
I'm right on, it's great.
I couldn't remember, I've looked at it.
Oh, by the way, imagine a porno film where the bloke's fat mate is sat on the sofa looking.
Yeah, well, when he came in, there was essentially a little mini staple marshmallow man, right?
Just sat on the sofa, right?
But don't worry about him, because we very soon altered the environment from my flat to her flat.
Because we checked my telly, it's all working.
Checked the telly in the bedroom, that was working as well.
It's analogue one, so we checked them both.
Sexy.
Yeah, digital in the living room, analogue in the old bedroom.
Yeah, former Q ladies.
And I said, do you want me to have a look at it for you?
And she went, oh yeah, if you would.
She didn't sound like that, did she?
She did sound like that.
All right, all right.
She went, yeah, oh, that'd be magnified.
She's American now.
Yeah, she's from Alabama.
And she went, oh, I would love that if you come upstairs and look at my wires.
I went, all right, I will.
And the thing is, right, I had my joggers on, right?
Joggers, yeah.
A lot of jogging in there.
I had my tracksuit bottoms on.
Track.
Your suit.
Bottoms.
No, bottoms does work.
And I went, okay, I'll pop my jeans on and I'll come up and I'll look
and she went okay
and like I was just stood
in my bedroom
and she was stood in the hall
next to the bedroom
yeah
and she just stayed there
yeah while you
while you had to put your jeans on
yeah and she sort of looked at me
and I went
I'm just gonna
pop my jeans on
and she went okay
I was like
alright
and I had to really slowly
shut a door in her face
because I've never met her before no popped my jeans on upstairs I went don't want to and I had to really slowly shut a door in her face.
Because I've never met her before.
No.
Popped my jeans on upstairs and went.
Don't want to give too much away,
but a telly was broke.
It wasn't working at all.
I mean, her boyfriend was up there trying to fix it. And they're still broke.
They're still broke now, actually.
It was awkward by that point as well.
Don't know the first fucking thing about tellies, mate.
I don't know what you asked me for.
It was awkward at that point.
Yeah,
because it was awkward
because you'd pushed your penis
through the hole
in the bottom of your toolbox.
Yeah, yeah.
I was really,
and it had no top on.
Yeah.
It put braces on like a fireman.
Like a strip of fireman one.
Yeah.
But it got me thinking though, Ed.
Yeah.
It's kind of a porno scenario.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I wondered
whether you've ever been
in any porno scenarios
or what,
if you could be in one.
Yeah.
Because obviously
I've lived the dream today. Yeah. But if you could envisage yourself been in any porno scenarios, or what, if you could be in one. Yeah. Because obviously I've lived the dream today.
Yeah.
But if you could envisage yourself being in a porno scenario, maybe someone will hear this and make it come true for you,
what would be your ideal porno scenario?
I've not really thought about this recently.
Well, the last time you thought about it, what happened?
I think, like, Liz Beetham times, right?
Yeah, okay.
And Queen Elizabeth is there, right, on her throne.
Whoa.
And I go up, right, and I'll be like, oh, hey, Queen Elizabeth.
And she'll be like, don't speak to me.
I am Queen Elizabeth.
Right?
And I'm just Queen Elizabeth I, right?
Okay, that's it.
Because it's Elizabeth sometimes.
Yeah.
And I'll be like, oh, but I'm only a little servant.
Yeah.
And you have been speaking down to me all day.
And she'll be like, oh, off with your head.
I'll be like, no, you on my head.
Okay, you've got to bum it on now.
And then, right, I pull down my britches, right?
I'm not joking, right?
It is so hard.
Yeah, you're bumming.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It is well hard.
And then she goes, oh, I can't be having dad.
And she points at this little guillotine, right?
And I go, ooh. And it's like a little comedy bit in the film.
But then I go, ooh, bitch.
I mean, I do like that I've got my little porno fantasy
from a real porn film,
whereas you've got yours from carry-on film.
Essentially, is it very soon?
I mean, you've gone from standing there with a rocker boner
into, you know, essentially a penny whistle going off.
No, I go, no, then I go, oh, bitch.
No, you don't say bitch.
All right, no.
Oh, queen, this is going to be the best banquet you ever had.
And then she goes, oh, yeah, it is.
And then she, like, takes the foam comb
out her hair.
Yeah.
And all her red hair
goes on her shoulders,
right?
Okay, okay.
And then she rips off
her bodice, right?
Yeah.
She's got like,
way bigger tits
than you would ever imagine.
Like,
it cuts her close up of them
so you think it's probably
a different actress.
It's not Miranda Richardson
anymore.
Right.
She's Dolly Parton
for these bits.
Right, and then, and then she's like, get down on her knees, right?
Right.
And start, like, proper...
Right, but then, right, a portal opens, and it's like time.
And through it comes Lara Croft.
Right, and she's like, what the hell's going on here?
I've come through a portal in a secret temple.
And I'm like, hey Lara Croft, you
big girl over here licked my ass.
And she goes, and she goes,
and she goes, alright then.
Right, she come over and start licking my
ass. Um, and then, right, um,
oh, guess what happened? I can't.
Farway to Seer comes on in a chariot,
right? Yeah, and she goes, I'm just like,
I'm here to conquer this time.
And I'm like,
know your nap.
You here to eat my balls.
So she gets down and she's eating my balls, right?
Okay.
Right, and then,
guess what happens, right?
I would imagine.
Right, the portal is still open at this point, right?
Right.
Guess who comes through?
The Hulk?
No.
Oh, later, later.
Yeah, okay. Florence Nightingale right okay
and she's like
I'm the lady with
the lamp
and I'm like
you're the lady
with the pussy
I mean I think
I think
you're probably
going to have to
continue this story
I mean I think
we can just now
all just take it
as read
that every woman
from history
you can think of
at some point comes through
the portal and has to eat a bit of
Ed's body. Whichever bits
are left over from
when Bodicea is...
I don't mean eat it, I mean just suck on it. No, I understand what you
mean. Obviously Elizabeth I is noshing him
off and he's already got Lara Croft
licking his bums. So, I mean
basically, it's got to get to the point where it goes
yes, and then
Margaret Thatcher
comes through and
I go you suck my
finger bitch.
I mean I think we
can all see where
it's going.
Yeah yeah yeah.
But no it's a
very very hot
fantasy now.
I think it's going
to mean we're going
to have to make
this week's podcast
an X.
You wouldn't even
let me get to
Whoopi Goldberg
kissing my nose.
You wouldn't even let me get to Whoopi Goldberg kissing my nose.
Right, time for the complaint letter session. Oh, no. Cancel this week.
Why?
Just remembered. It's cancelled till next week when it's my turn again.
No, you can't do that.
No, it is. It's got to be. Flood. Flood.
No.
It's cancelled because of a flood.
No, we're doing it. We're doing it.
No, come on.
But it's better when I do it.
No, it's not.
It's much less offensive
and it's a bit more nice,
gentle, whimsical comedy.
Oh, when are you going to do
the Play School podcast then?
If you don't want to do
this brilliant grown-up one
that I'm in charge of.
It is very grown-up, you're right.
I am well good at doing the letters.
Well, I'm alright at them as well.
No, I like your ones.
I think they're funny but I don't think you've kept up. I think I'm alright at them as well. No, I like your ones. I think they're funny,
but I don't think you've kept up.
I think I have.
I don't think you've kept up
with my standard of letters.
You're not at my level yet.
What?
I'm operating on a completely different level, mate.
Hush your mouth.
No, you hush your lips.
Mate, hush your mouth, will you?
Oh, clam up your cake hole, mate.
Alright, well, I'll clam my lips up then for a minute.
Yeah, you clam them right up, mate.
Alright, well, I'm going to have a listen.
Apart from for laughing and enjoying and...
Well, I think the chances of me laughing...
...doing mouth clapping.
I think the chances of me laughing at your letter are very low.
Because, like I say, my standard of letter is so high,
and that is inside my head.
That is... That's what I have in...
All my letters that you've heard so far,
they are inside my head.
So when I allow sounds to come through from an external place,
coming in my ears and then going up in my mind,
and the head goes...
In your mind?
Yeah.
And then my head just goes,
well, this is quite funny,
but it's not as funny as it was
that I've already got stored in here.
Well, maybe when I read my letter,
laugh along with it,
but think of your own letter
to make you laugh.
All right.
I'll think of my own letter
as you're reading yours.
All right, then.
Right, okay.
Go.
But don't...
No, go.
...think anything can ruin it.
Go.
Right.
Right, okay, now I'm going to... It's a bit of build-up to this. All right. A while ago, I bought the... alright then right okay go don't no go don't ruin it go right right okay now
I'm gonna
it's a bit of build up to this
alright
a while ago I bought
they
Frasier and a car crash
come on
oh that's one of my ones
that I've
yeah okay
that's one of the ones
I've been waiting to do
I was gonna do it next week
about the car crash
I'm gonna
are you giving it away
I'm gonna write to the cars
I'm gonna write a complaint
to cars
that Frasier stole a car to all the complaint to cars that Fraser stole a car.
To all cars?
Yeah, Fraser stole a car
and I crushed it
and that's their fault
for not making
the seats high enough.
I might cut that out
of the podcast
because I think
that's my point.
Yeah, yeah.
I bought,
quite a while ago now,
they released
a Willy Wonka
chocolate bar.
Okay, yeah.
Yeah, they released
these chocolate bars.
I remember that,
when the film came out. Yeah, when the newest film came out, yeah. And they released fudge oneska chocolate bar. Okay, yeah. Yeah, they released these chocolate bars. I remember that. When the film came out.
Yeah, when the newest film came out.
Yeah.
And they released fudge ones,
and we were going to write a complaint letter,
me and my friend,
about these chocolate bars.
Oh.
But there was a reason why we couldn't,
but now I think I've found a way round it.
With your new friend?
Yeah, with my new best friend.
That is the best way to make,
because I'm a new friend and a better one.
Yeah.
Then it is better now.
Now you are able to find a way round
and write a letter for Willy Wonka,
so that's good. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, so what is your other friend called? Murray. Murray. He's better it is better now. Now you are able to find a way round and write a letter for Willy Wonka, so that's good. Exactly.
So what is your other friend called? Murray.
Murray. He's better friends with me now.
Yeah, and don't try and come and
break it all up, mate. Do you know what
Murray's brother's called? What? Fraser.
Ha! Murray, we have stole your family
and made it famous. And ill.
Yeah, and all ill. You'd better check up
on your brother anyway, because from what I know
he's been under tabs, mate. Right, here all ill. You'd better check up on your brother anyway, because from what I know, he's been under tabs, mate.
Right, here we go.
Dear Willy Wonka.
Yes, yes, I know.
This won't really be Willy Wonka I'm writing to.
His son has probably taken over.
So, hello, Willy Wonka Jr. or Brian Wonka or something.
Murdered a boy from Willy Wonka took it over.
Little Barney Rubble, was he called?
What was he called?
Bucket. Charlie Bucket. Yeah, but... He took it over. Yeah Barney Rubble was he called? What was he called? Bucket.
Charlie Bucket.
Yeah, but...
He took it over.
Yeah, but, alright.
Frank Bucket.
Alright, it's his son now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Alright then.
Yeah.
Although, we are living
in modern times,
so it might be your daughter
Sally Wonka
or another girl's name.
There are loads.
I can't really guess them all
so I don't know why
you look so offended.
Get off your I.O.S.
I don't even know
if you've got one
but you probably have
because you're so rich.
He probably has got an I.O.S. This is't even know if you've got one but you probably have because you're so rich. He probably has got an I.O.S.
This is all assuming
that that bloody slugsworth
hasn't taken over.
Or you have gone bust
because of the credit crunch.
In fact,
you probably have
because you waste
all your resources
by putting bloody rides
in the factory
that seems stupid
and a bit frivolous
for what is essentially
supposed to be a business.
Anyway,
I've run out of paper now
so I'll have to post this
and then write another one
with the actual point in it, Mrs Fraser.
Let's send that one.
Okay, you've got done two then?
I might do two next week.
Dear Willy Wonka, hello, Mrs Fraser here again.
Do you remember I wrote that letter before
about you going bust?
I guess my point was, oh, I'm not getting bogged down in this again.
I'm writing to complain
about the fudgelicious bar you sell.
I think it was called that.
I believe you.
I bought one for my son Fraser, brackets, to eat it, stupid,
who is allergic to nuts.
I know there are no nuts in it, but the bits of fudge look a bit like nuts.
Fraser's allergy is so sensitive that even when he thinks he has seen a nut,
he comes out in hives. This is different to his father's problem of coming in hives, which
we are sorting out through the B sex therapist. On the upside, the immediate shock of seeing
a fudge nut tightened his face so much it sucked his eyes back in from two weeks ago.
But then his ears doubled in size and a bit of brain fell out his nose.
It might have been snot.
We need to find some way of getting him used to things that look like nuts.
Brackets.
I know what you're thinking, but his dad's looked like bloody watermelons after his most recent exploit, so that won't work.
Yeah. I get it. but his dad's looked like bloody watermelons after his most recent exploit so that won't work. Because he got stung.
Yeah.
I get it.
So could you please send some more pleasers?
It's your fault,
I've decided.
Love and deep,
long, upsettingly salty
kisses, Mrs Fraser.
That is a good one.
Thank you.
I like that one.
It's fair to me
it wasn't very funny though.
Oh, fuck you.
Hey.
I'm laughing.
Just all the time I was laughing at my own letters in my head.
Right.
Well, well done on it.
And good luck with that for Willy Wonka Wonkalicious.
Thank you very much.
I like that we have now added into it that Frasier's got a nut allergy,
which is psychosomatic.
Yeah, exactly.
It's like a real nut allergy.
So that's how, so all these people are just going,
oh, I feel sorry for Frasier.
It's unkind of that.
It's a fucking nutcase, mate. He's a nut. And I mean, and he is a nut allergies. So all these people are just going, oh, I feel sorry for Frasier or something kind of like that. He's a fucking nutcase, mate.
He's a nutcase.
And he is a nutcase.
He's obsessed with nuts
to the point where
he's pretending
that he's allergic to them
and we found him out.
We found him out
because we gave him
a chocolate bar
and didn't have nuts in it
and he still came out in high.
So he's a fucking liar,
you little shit.
Do you know what?
I think he deserves
bullying at school.
If he'd have been in my school, right, if I'd have
gone to school with Fraser, right, I would have
done, right? I'd have waited until the dinner lady
wasn't looking, right? And then I'd have
got him, right, behind the science
block, right? And I'd have
made him make a fist with his own hand.
Right?
I'd say, keep that fist
in your hand, mate. Keep your fist, right? And he'd be
going, no, no, don't worry, just fucking get your hand in a fucking fist, right?
And I'd be looking around.
No, me, Ench Man, I'd be looking around all the time
for dinner ladies and that.
And I'd go, right, come here, you,
you little sickly little bastard, right?
Come here, you greeny blue skin twat, right?
And I'd have got his wrist, right?
I'd have held his wrist
right
and I'd have hit it
against his own face
right
and he'd make his hand
go all floppy
and I'd go
what the fuck
are you doing
make your hand
into a fist
and as I did that
I'd have kneed him
in the thigh
like really hard
and he'd have gone
oh no
I thought please
don't do that
and I'd go
just fucking
stop now
and I'd have made
and I'd have pushed
his fist into his face and punched him over and over and over in the face. And I'd go, just fucking stop now. And I'd made, and I pushed his fist
into his face
and punched him
over and over and over
in the face, right?
And then I'd go,
go and tell the dinner lady
what you've done.
Go and tell the dinner lady
what you've done.
Go and tell Nick,
it wasn't me,
it was you,
you punched yourself
in the face.
Yeah.
And then I'd have
killed the school rabbit
and blamed it on him.
I like the idea that
seemingly your school
sort of story,
you didn't have any
teachers at your school,
did you?
It was just all
dinner ladies.
Yeah, mostly dinner ladies,
yeah.
I think I ended up
sizing them.
Time for another one
of our sections,
a regular section
of exploding
popular misconceptions.
Yeah.
This week,
Vernon Kaye. Right, Vernon Kay of exploding popular misconceptions. This week, Vernon Kaye.
Right, Vernon Kaye is
not entertaining. He's
not appealing, he's not good on television,
he's not even good at his job in my opinion,
right? He just stands there and goes
uh, uh, you got a funny story
ain't ya? Uh, tell us a funny story
and then does a shit joke at the end of it.
So if there's a popular misconception that Vernon Kaye is
good, he's not.
Vernon Kaye is rubbish.
That was popular misconception of the week,
Vernon Kaye.
I like him.
You're ruining this section.
Time for our most popular section.
Yeah.
After only one week of doing it, Ray and Ed's prank call.
Yeah.
That we always do every week in this week.
We decided Ed was going to ring a member of his family.
Yeah.
To do a prank call.
We've caught him in another scenario.
Yeah.
To fool them with.
And you, did you phone Ed?
I phoned my mum.
You phoned your mum up and she was... I got my mobile, right?
Yeah.
And I phoned her mobile.
Yeah. And you were doing acting
and she's going oh no
what happened? We'll play it to you now.
But this week's prank call, wait till you hear this
wait till you hear her reaction.
Hello?
Hello?
Hello?
Hello? Hello? Hello? It is the council. I can't hear you. It's the council. Is it? It's the council. We are repossessing your kitchen. Hello, Mum? Oh, I mean, hello, Mrs Gamble?
Hello?
Ed?
You've been punked.
We've done a prank on you.
Have you heard of Phone Jacker?
He was doing a prank call.
Did you get it or not?
Hang up before she realises.
Hang up.
Oh, I felt sorry for her for a bit.
I felt upset for her because I thought, oh, she...
Hook, line and bloody sinker.
Yeah, she's, oh, they're going to repossess my kitchen.
Oh, no, what is happening?
The camera's on the phone.
You were doing your acting and I was helping by telling you what to say.
Yeah.
And then eventually you went, no, it is, don't worry, it's just a joke.
Yeah.
And we all had a good laugh about it in the end.
We did, we did.
And then she signed a release form.
Yeah. So that is our prank call for this week there'll be another prank call next week wait till you
next week's one
the peacock and gamble podcast was devised and performed by ray peacock and ed gamble

which is performed by Frank Sidebottom.
The Peacock and Gamble podcast is a big and dark production
hosted by chortle.co.uk.
If you spotted a deliberate mistake
in this week's show,
tell us on our Facebook page
and you might win a prize.
See you next week.
I'm growing increasingly concerned because I spend a lot of time on these podcasts because even after we recorded them, I then go away and edit them. So I listen to them over and
over and over. I've started noticing trends. And the main trend that I've started noticing
is, is every time I ask you to do an improvised scenario,
whereas I say, what would you do in this situation?
And you go off on a spiel of thought.
Or when I say, hey, Ed's going to do a song now.
Every time, within a very short space of time of me asking,
you turn into a very aggressive rapper.
Every single time, I'll say, oh, Ed's going to do a jingle for that now.
And you go, yes, I am.
Yes, certainly.
Hey, bitch, come over here.
Hey, Nicky S. Hey, bitch, come over here. Hey, Nicky S.
Hey, bitch, bitch.
And, you know, very overtly aggressive.
And the thing is, from what I know of you in real life,
you're not even a fan of rap music.
I like some of it.
I like some of it.
But it's mainly, you know, your heavy metal and all that.
But I don't know where this aggressive sort of rapper character comes from.
Maybe I was a rapper in a previous life.
Yeah, that will have happened.
You're probably Biggie somebody or other.
You're probably the Big Bopper.
I imagine that's bound to be one of them, isn't it?
Yeah, Fats Domino.
Yeah, absolutely.
You were MC Fats Domino, mate.
You were Buster Blood Vessel.
All right, that explains it then.
Sorry, just a concern I wanted to raise.
I would try not to in future.
Yeah.
Bitch.
I knew that was coming.
