Alright, I will tell you now what it is.
That's what it was, what I've just said.
Go on, go make your cowboy films now.
Go and practice it, cowboys.
Anyway, welcome to the show.
Battle Damaged this week.
Yeah.
Battle Damaged, they used to do with the old Star Wars toys, the Kenner Palatoy ones.
They used to do a thing where they'd bring out vehicles like the X-Wing Fighter.
And then a year later, they'd bring out a Battle Damaged X-Wing Fighter and then a year later they'd bring out a battle damaged
X-Wing Fighter
which was exactly
the same toy
but they just
snapped bits off it
no just with a couple
of stickers
a couple of stickers
and they were all
just sort of scarring
and scorching
black scorching
did you fall for it
no I never
I never liked the
battle damaged ones
but I wish I had now
from a collector's point of view
you could just get the
stickers though couldn't you
and put them on your new one
it's not really how it works
with the collector.
Right.
But anyway,
I feel like we've gone away
from westerns.
So I'm just going to have
a little bit of chewing tobacco.
Spit it, hit the bucket.
Ding.
Let's do that in really heavy stereo.
Alright, done.
Right, so it means you have to go,
let's just move our mics for a second.
Alright.
Right, so we're going in
far more heavy stereo now.
Right, you ready?
Hang on.
Eee.
It means we're doing it here.
Here.
Ding.
Brilliant.
Welcome to the show.
So the point of the battle damage comment, the point of telling you that is, what's happened
is, is the Facebook group, some of you will know this already,
the discussions page
just evaporated.
Yeah, we've been censored, mate.
Well, we don't know
what's happened, really.
Yeah, we've been censored
by the man
because he can't take the fact
that we are talking
the truth of it.
I strongly suspect
it's to do with the fact
that people have left messages
on the Fraser...
Political.
It's like 1984, isn't it?
Yeah, that's what
I think has
happened
but then again
I don't know what
we've done in our
live dates
announcements
that's probably
closing us down
isn't it
yeah oh we
can't speak to
the people
thanks Facebook
or should I
call you
Gordon Browns
yeah that's good
it's like we are
being shot
like Martin
Luther King's
yeah it's like
we are come out
here do our Facebook are shooting us by switching a thing on the computer yeah and we are being shot like Martin Luther King's yeah it's like we are come out here do our
Facebook are shooting us
by switching a thing
on the computer
yeah and we are
on a balcony
trying to do
our updates
yeah that's what's happening
I mean basically
what all of this
we're doing now
is padding time
because what it means
is we can't do the competition
this week
no
because we've not got
your entries
no
so the competition's
on hiatus for one week
yeah
we're trying to get
the discussion thing working if not they'll just just start posting on the main page again but sorry
about that but the other thing we've done to pad for time as well is that i have written um some
comedy sketches for us to do during the podcast you'll notice today there's somebody to go these
are blooming top rate skits these are i think we'll do some more comedy sketches at the live
show as well at christmas yeah we should do really. On the 19th of December
at King's Place.
Don't forget to get
your tickets as soon as
you can.
0207 520 1490.
We'll go to
kingsplace.co.uk.
Yeah brilliant.
Get them there as well.
Selling out very fast.
Not selling out very fast
but they're selling
out in their
hundred millions.
It's only standing
room only now I'm afraid
but if you give us
a nice smile
we'll get you a seat.
So we'll look forward
to the comedy skit
later on.
Yeah we will.
I've only written one
so far.
Even that one I've
nicked.
I heard it done
yeah it's an old
musical one but I've
rewritten it with a
modern sort of twist
on it.
So we'll look forward
to one of our
sketches later on.
We're a bit like
Armstrong and Miller
really aren't we?
Yeah we are a bit
similar to Armstrong
and Miller in the respect that
our characters are
one dimensional
and all the same
in that respect
I mean I
I will be playing
the posh man
yeah
and I'll be playing
the one with a wig on
yeah
so I mean
in that respect
we are identical
yeah
to Armstrong and Miller
and also
you're right
in that
certainly one of us is far too old
to be doing this sort of thing.
So yeah, for me,
I am far too old to be doing this.
But I mean, watch out while I perform it.
Get ready for that.
Speaking of battle damage, right?
Yeah.
My pooter has broken.
Your what?
My pooter.
Pooter, computer.
Yeah, pooter.
Just pooter for short in modern times,
grandad.
All right.
Right?
It has broken down completely, right?
Okay.
How's it broken down?
What's it...
Just won't turn on anymore.
Is it pulled into a monitor?
This isn't the point.
I'm getting a new pooter.
Can you not start it in safe mode?
Nope.
Are you going to get a new...
I know you're getting a new pooter.
What?
I know where you're getting your money from, I was going to say,
but I know where you're getting your money from.
Where?
Because you are proper success in the comedy world now.
I know about this, right?
Because I went on the internet the other day,
right, googling you, right,
just for a laugh.
Right, that's a bit weird.
I didn't do that.
I found a blurb for you.
Wait till you hear this,
I've written it down.
We saw Rising Star Ed in Edinburgh.
Rising Star, tick.
Yeah, as part of the comedy zone.
And wait till you hear this.
And had to be peeled off the floor at the end.
Oh no, that was the one
where I fell on the audience
of what was possibly
the best
20 minute set
we've ever seen
how about that
Ed Gamble
you are already
doing the best
been going like two years
and you're already
doing the best
20 minute set
right
and this person
whoever they are
has ever seen
right
yeah and it goes on
later on right to say he is co-writer and host of the Chortle-sponsored Peacock and Gamble podcast.
So you're not the co-host, you're the co-writer and the host.
Yeah, it's pretty good, isn't it?
Yep, you are the host of the Peacock and Gamble podcast.
So you didn't know about that yet, did you?
I think it's amazing, this.
Right?
And this guy, it says this as a fact.
Right.
This guy is going to be, it doesn't say in our opinion.
Yeah. it says this as a fact right this guy is going to be it doesn't say in our opinion yeah
it just says
as a fact
this guy
is going to be
a huge star
so catch him here
before he's live
at the Apollo
so you never said
about that
are you going
on the Apollo one
don't think I am
when are you doing
that one
next week
oh that's an exclusive
and he's on the Apollo
live at it
yeah I can't wait
yeah is it the
Hammersmith Apollo
because I walked past it
the other day.
Right.
When I was going down
doing a warm-up.
And you saw a picture of me?
No, I saw a massive picture
of Stephen K. Moss
and a picture of Rod Gilbert.
Right.
When did all this start?
When did all these comics
start doing the
Hammersmith Apollo?
It's massive, isn't it?
Yeah, loads of people do it.
And we do it, aren't we?
Yeah, I think it's
if we book it early.
Alright, so we should
book it for like
2012 or something.
Everyone coming down to King's Place, right,
get as many people down as possible.
Because if we do well there,
then the next night we will do Hammersmith Apollo.
Yeah, all right.
How about that then?
So if 3,000 of you come to King's Place,
then we'll all just sleep over in London
and do the Hammersmith Apollo the next day.
So there's an exclusive.
Big Rock and Gamble podcast live at the Hammersmith Apollo
on the 20th of December
if 3,000 people come in
it is weird though isn't it
how it seems to be
like a decision
I don't know who makes it
what
to just go right
this person is
going to be famous now
yeah
are you saying
why isn't that us
now or not
maybe we can make it now I don't think we're in charge of it though me and you right I could be famous now. Yeah. Are you saying why isn't that us now or not? Maybe we can make it now.
I don't think
we're in charge of it now.
Me and you,
right,
are going to be famous.
Right.
Right,
guess who else
is going to be famous?
Who?
A dog I just saw outside.
Why?
Me and a dog outside
are going to be famous.
Why are you making
the decision now?
Because I thought
someone makes it
so we can make it.
Yeah,
and who is it
that makes it now?
Me and you right now
and the dog.
No, but who is it in real?
Right.
Who makes it?
I want to know. their representation. Well, they can Me and you right now. Who is it in real? Right. Who makes it? I want to know.
Their representation.
Well, they can't make the decision, though.
Why not?
Well, where can I...
James?
Let's speak to our manager now.
James, can we...
If you are allowed to make the decision,
can me and Ed be here for a minute?
How would that work?
This is going to be weird listening to this, isn't it?
Yeah.
Speaking directly to you.
Let's just speak directly to our manager.
James, please can we do Hammersmith Apollo?
James, me and Adam, we're both at my house now, so ring me on the home line.
Just ring us up now and we'll do the Hammersmith Apollo, please.
Do Hammersmith Apollo just for one night and see how it goes
and then maybe do another one for Christmas.
Yeah, and then can we have a programme like Russell Howard has got
because he is one of your clients as well
please can we be like a Russell Howard one
I know I've been doing the warm up for it
and I've done it really well
you said that the director said I was funny

can I do it as well
and Ed do all the bits that Colin Holt does
Ed comes undressed
up in character
costumes
please
oh please James
Ed's got to
buy a new pewter
right so that's
I mean
I'm sorry to the
other listeners
who had to hear that
but I mean
it was getting
to the point
where it just
had to be said
didn't it
I mean if Rod Gilbert
and Stephen KM
were also doing it yeah why can't we do it we should be doing just had to be said didn't it I mean if Rod Gilbert and Stephen KM are still doing it
yeah why can't we do it
we should be doing
the Emma Smith Apollo
don't worry about the TV show
we're not as bothered about that
oh no shut up
no but we're not
as bothered about it
we did Emma Smith Apollo first
that's what you do
you ask for too much
right okay
and then you get enough
right
that's how it works right
well don't then say
you're not bothered
about the TV show
no
oh yeah
ask for Emma Smith Apollo
and the TV show right alright and um, oh yeah. Ask for Amber Smith Apollo and the TV show.
Yeah, right, right, all right.
And, um...
Oh, I'm doing it now!
An house, an house!
Will you ask him for something?
I want an house.
Well, tell him now!
Right, get me an house, James, please, with a fountain in the garden.
Yeah, all right.
With gold on it.
Yeah, and do the other thing that you need as well, don't forget.
What?
You were cooking that apple pie and you haven't got any apples.
Oh yeah, I need an apple for a recipe.
Yeah, so get him that.
I need that and all.
And I need, right, my jelly beans.
I've got this, it's like a spaghetti jar full of jelly beans.
Right, and it is running proper low.
So James, can you sort out my jelly beans for me?
And don't get me that for Christmas as a joke.
Don't get me an apple for Christmas.
Yeah, as a joke.
Just get the bloody telly show and the Amazon for Apollo and their jelly beans, thank you. And apple for Christmas. Yeah, as a joke. Just get the bloody telly show
and the Amazon with Apollo
and the jelly beans, thank you.
And Ed's computer.
Yeah.
What computer are you getting?
A laptop.
Nice one.
I've got a laptop.
We record on my laptop, don't we?
I know, it's a nice one.
Is it a nice one or not?
Yeah, it's a black one with blue lights.
How much memory and storage?
I've been reading about memory and storage, right?
What is the difference between memory and storage?
Memory and storage?
Yeah. Right. Well, what it is, is memory and storage, right? What is the difference between memory and storage? Memory and storage? Yeah.
Right. Well, what it is, is memory, right, is when
something has happened
and in your head,
right, you can
recall that.
And if somebody
said to you, what happened?
You would be able to tell them
just from the pictures in your
mind. Right.
Yeah. Whereas, what was your word?
Storage. Yeah. Storage is basically
a space
where you
can keep stuff, right,
that you either own
or that you
need to be,
that you don't immediately need.
Right.
I'm more talking...
It could be a load of old VHS videos
with episodes of EastEnders on it.
But you just need to keep somewhere, right?
So you get back on your feet.
It could be that.
I'm more talking about in terms of computers,
what's the difference between memory and storage?
Yeah.
Well, what it is,
I can tell you very succinctly what that is.
I have got a computer at the moment, right?
It is a widescreen black laptop.
Right, so memory.
I'm not even going to say brand name or anything like that,
but it's quite a good brand name.
And it's got blue lights on it and stuff, right?
Right.
Now, I know that without looking at it
because of the memory.
Right? Right, but that's not what at it because of the memory. Right?
Right, but that's not what the memory of a computer is, right?
No.
What it is, is that's my computer now, so I don't need to remember it.
Because I've got it, right?
Yeah.
But, ages ago, I had a computer which was a monitor and then like a box bit of it.
Yeah.
And a mouse on a wire.
Yeah.
I haven't got that computer anymore.
Right?
I think I threw it in a bin.
Right.
But I can still got that computer anymore I think I threw it in the bin but I can still remember that
I have memory
of that computer
right
I've also got another laptop
but I've not got it in front of me now
because it is in
a cupboard
which is storage
so I have got
my other computer as storage in so I have got my other computer
as storage
in storage
still in my house
but that's
the difference
between computer memory
which is the one
I remember having
and computer storage
which is where
I keep my old computer
right
yeah
so just saying
I mean
that's pretty much
what the man
at PC World
said as well
yeah
I mean
I don't think
they trade them anymore.
Here we go.
So time for our comedy sketch this week.

oh I like that you've had
your haircut
thanks
it's one less thing
for James to pay for
yeah
tell you what
I absolutely hate
having my hair cut
you might have noticed
yeah
I mean I blagged a freebie
haircut once
at a photoshoot
me and you were at
yeah you did
you only had a little bit
taken off though
yeah no not much
I get embarrassed
at the hairdressers
why
I don't know what it is.
I really don't know what it is.
I mean, I literally walked in there,
because I went, Tony and guys,
as we told you last week,
and I couldn't even speak.
I was literally going,
hello,
can I come for a neckline at 12 o'clock?
Right, and the girl went,
come with me, please.
I went, okay, thank you.
Right, sat down in a chair,
and she put a thing around my shoulders,
and I went
ooh sorry
and I don't know
what I was sorry for
it was very unlike you
isn't it
right
and I was sat in the chair
and she went
what are we doing
and I went
oh cool
and she went
no I'm done
and I went
just take it
about to my shoulders
about
and she went
okay
and then she like
held a big lump of it
in her hands
and she went
so is it alright
if I cut this off now
and I was like I was really confused and I went what and then she like held a big lump of it in her hands and she went so is it alright if I cut this off now and I was like
I was really confused
and I went
what
I've got an appointment
I thought it was
that I was there
for a consultation
or something
so anyway
off it came
cut it in one go
all of it
the big back bit
whoa
about 12 inches
and then she went
12 inches
and then she went
come with me
that's a whole ruler
I know it is
and then she went come with me and I went okay and I come with me. That's a whole ruler. I know it is.
And then she'd come with me and I went, okay.
And I sat down,
she'd sort of pull my head back a bit
and it went all wet.
That would be water.
I don't know,
she was washing my hair.
Right.
I didn't even know about that.
I didn't know she was going to wash my hair.
Wasn't that nice though?
I'd washed my hair that morning.
Maybe she thought
it needed another going over.
It didn't,
I'd washed it proper
and put it in the air conditioner.
Wow, yeah, there you go.
Yeah, I know, I'd done it all posh. So then she did all that and I didn't. I'd washed it proper and put a 10-inch eye conditioner on. Oh, wow. Yeah, there you go. Yeah, I know.
I'd done it all posh.
So then she did all that, and I couldn't relax.
No.
Like, I was being someone who said, I literally didn't know what to do.
And she went, what do you mean you didn't know what to do?
And I went, I didn't know what to do.
And she went, well, just have your hair washed.
Close your eyes.
And I went, no, I'm not closing my eyes.
Was your body completely rigid?
Honestly, it was like a plank of wood.
With two trifles on top of it.
Was it like a Victorian levitating magic trick?
My neck was totally like that.
My neck was really rigid.
And I was staring straight into a light.
But I didn't shut my eyes.
I don't know why.
When you're staring
in the light
did you imagine
that you're on stage
at the Amber Smith
Apollo James?
Yes I did imagine
that James.
Oh he's stopped
listening now.
He's gone now.
So that happens
and then they took me
over to cut my hair
in that.
I mean literally
she could have sat down
I was that scared
that she could have
just gone snip
right finish
and I'd have gone
okay there's all my money.
And then we went back over to the other chair and she'd have gone okay there's all my money and then we
went back over to the other chair and she's done cutting of it and that yeah she went do you want
a drink and i went do you have coffee right and she went yeah and she went and made me a coffee
and i didn't like it right it was just instant coffee i didn't like it but i drank as much as
i could yeah and she started doing the cutting and then she went how do you want your hair dried
right and i went what i didn't know what she meant how do you want your hair dried? Right? And I went, what? I didn't know what she meant.
She went, how do you want your hair dried?
And I went, hair dryer.
And she went, no, do you want it something like with a brush or something,
straight with a brush, or just rough done with an hair dryer?
And I went, I want hair dryer.
I didn't know what she meant by it.
Finished it all off.
By this point, she must have thought you were simple.
Absolutely.
And that's no judgment on her because i acted like
then we got to the till all finished all good and she said to the other lady she went take 10%
off because we've not really done that much and i was like that's kind and then i remembered
somebody telling me that he tipped them right like telling a guy and i had my wallet right
and i only had tenors right so my haircut was 30 quid yeah Yeah. That's with 10% off. So three pound off.
Yeah.
And I gave her a tenner tip.
So I gave her three times back what she took off.
Brilliant.
The other ladies went, that's better, isn't it?
And I went, well.
And what I meant was, it doesn't matter around my areas.
I'm still an ugly fat fucker.
But how it came across was, I was going, well, it's not a great haircut, is it?
And that's not what I meant.
And I was going, no, that's not what I meant. I it? And that's not what I meant. And I was going, no, that's not what I meant.
I didn't mean that.
You have 10 pounds.
Here, here's my wallet.
Here's my pin number.
And then I went to do the warm-up that I've been doing at the moment,
which is Russell Howe's Good News.
Yeah.
And nobody noticed I had my haircut.
No way.
Apart from James.
Did James notice?
James did notice.
James, in your defence,
you were the only person that noticed I'd had an haircut.
Right, but he shouldn't be listening anymore. He should be on the phone to the HMV Apollo. Yeah. Russell didn't notice. James, in your defence, you were the only person that noticed I'd had an haircut. Right, but he shouldn't be
listening anymore. He should be on the phone to the HMV
Apollo. Yeah. Russell didn't notice.
Did he not? No. That Russell.
So I'm glad you didn't come with me to the hairdressers.
Why? Because of what you wanted to do.
Yeah, just to help out. Yeah,
come in with a picture of RGD to it and say,
will you cut it like that?
Really treat me like I'm mental.
That would be brilliant, though.
I was already simply nothing there.
The other thing we've started doing as well,
which we want to start as a trend.
Yeah, is get really fat.
Yeah, get really fat.
And start that as a sexy trend.
And start as a sexy trend.
That is normal for men to have bust this
right
that is a new sexy trend
that we started
but the other one
we want to start
is when you go to cinema
because me and everyone
saw Six
yeah
I was going to see
the Saw films
it was alright wasn't it
it was actually alright
yeah
it was a bit
there was bits of it
I thought the acting
was appalling
oh yeah
but I wasn't expecting Oscars
no of course not
it was alright
it was okay
moved on the story
and it set up the next one
really well
so there you go
one thumb up for Saw 6
yeah
one thumb up each though
that's two thumbs up though
they'll put that on their publicity
that is two thumbs up
across two people
no I know them
what they're like
I know what they're like
them Saw ones
they'll put two thumbs up
on the posters
just as we said it
and I'm not having that
but anyway
this is a new thing
that we started to do
when you go to cinema right
and you go and get your hot dogs and that When you go to cinema, right? Yeah.
And you go and get
your hot dogs and that.
Yeah.
And you go and get
your popcorn before it.
Here's what you've
got to start doing.
When you ask them,
you've got to
enunciate like this.
You've got to say,
hello,
can I have two hot dogs
and a medium popcorn?
And that is brilliant.
That is exactly
what you have to do.
because they look at you
like you are mental
and then start laughing.
I did it the other day,
didn't I?
Yeah.
I did it at Saw 6.
I said, two hot dogs and one medium popcorn.
But then I wanted to say, and a bag of sweets as well.
But you wouldn't let me do that because it would ruin it.
That would make it look like it was effective.
And the thing is, we've talked about this on things that we've done before.
About the way that you like to have popcorn.
Which is a mix-up.
I like sweet and salted mix-up.
Yeah, but one and one and one and one.
One and one and one and one.
Yeah.
With the scoops, one and one and one and one.
Because we've had it before in Scotland
that the guy just did half full of salt
and then half full of sweet.
You made him tip it out
and do one and one and one and one.
I thought about that, you know,
after we talked about that,
I thought about it because
that would have all been wasted.
Yeah, because it would have gone back
in the same one, wouldn't it?
Yeah, but imagine if he tipped it, I can't remember what he did. Didn't he just would have gone back in the same one yeah but imagine if he tipped it i can't remember what he did didn't he just tip it
all back into the same one i can't remember imagine if he did that and then someone went
in there with a sweet allergy or a salt allergy i don't know something like that it's prevalent
in scotland i don't know which one he tipped it back into so when we did when we did that we asked
for one then one then one then he said can i have mix-up he was like what do you want in first sweet or so i went when i want one and one and one and one because you were
standing there tapping me telling me go yeah you want one and one and one and one um sometimes i
think you're not real you know sometimes i think that from everyone else's point of view it's just
me and i'm going what's your title Durden yeah exactly or Gerard Depardieu
in Bogus
that's a bit more
obsolete that one
it was on telly
yesterday
it's got
whoop-a-girl bugs
and six cents
I see dead people
but smaller
okay anyway
we're getting
distracted now
right
so I said
I want one
and one
and one
and one
and the bloke
sort of laughed
half laughed
but then looked
exasperated.
Make a bomb out of some soap.
He sort of looked slightly exasperated
because we realised that the salt was at his end
and then the sweet was all the way at the other end.
So he had to do one scoop of salt,
walk to the other end of the counter,
one scoop of sweet, walk all the way back again,
one scoop, and he had to do that four or five times.
And then we said, mate, really sorry,
when he came back the first time, it doesn't matter don't worry about it
and he went no it's fine and he was like he went it's just no one's ever asked for that before and
i went yeah they haven't we asked for it in glasgow Right, OK, it's time for my comedy sketch now.
I do the comedy sketches, I write them.
No, we do it together, like Armstrong and Miller, they both have...
Yeah, but you ruined my toe earlier on.
Right, I'm sorry.
You made it more like Daniel Day-Lewis' film.
I got mixed up with Daniel Day-Lewis' film.
What was your sketch?
Right, I came up with this last night when we were talking about university.
When I say I got a 2.1...
Yeah, I got a 2.2.
And you say you got a 2.2.
So let's do that again.
Say that again, right?
Let's say I've got a 2.2 again.
It's good.
You know you got a 2.1.
No, but you say I've got a 2.2.
Hey, at university, I've got a 2.1.
I've got a 2.2.
No, say it like you said it before.
I've got a 2.1.
I know.
What have you got, Ray? I don't know what you mean. What have you... Say I've got a 2.2. No, say it like you said it before. I've got a 2.1. I know. What have you got, Ray?
I don't know what you mean.
What have you,
say it,
I've got,
what you said,
I've got a 2.2.
You've got a 2.2?
Oh, just say it.
And then I say,
alright,
go and put it on,
I fancy a laugh.
Time for our
competitive letter.
Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop.
Which is Ed's turn this week.
Yeah, my turn.
I've done it last week,
so that means that is Ed's turn this week.'ve done it last week so that means
that is Ed's turn this week
that is the way it works
like crop rotation
tell you what
I would be good
although we don't have
a fallow week
we do sometimes
I love fallow week
I tell you what though
what would be good
is if these letters
all ended up in a book
I'd love that
it's come out at Christmas
we were in Asda
the other day
weren't we
and we saw all the books
out of Christmas
unbelievable
there was one which was Dave Spikey just doing like a commentary on the newspaper We were in Asda the other day, weren't we? And we saw all the books out of Christmas. Unbelievable. Yeah, shit.
There was one which was Dave Spikey
just doing like a commentary on the newspaper.
Bits cut out of a newspaper.
I mean, that was a really poor book.
Yeah, so we should put all these in a book
and have it out in time for Christmas.
James!
James, can we have our book out with the phrase alone?
I'll do illustrations for it.
And I will do the writing
on the computer
but you have
to get me
the computer
first
and also
the other
thing is
for our
listeners
by the way
people who
we have
said have
won competitions
who get
Fraser postcards
and drawn
by me
could you send
us your
addresses
including the
original people
that have
already sent
their addresses
because we've
lost them
can you send
the addresses
again please
because we've
lost them
just send
them to Ed on Ed's
Facebook page. Send him the addresses and then I will
give him the cards and he can be in charge of posting them.
Can you send them please? I am too
busy and I've not been very well with my kidneys.
Did you get that sign up?
Right then, letter now. Look forward to our Christmas
book. We're leaving it late

mate. Anyway, here we go on my letter
now. So this is a complaint letter to get free stuff. Yeah. no it's not Christmas yet mate. Anyway here we go on my letter now. So this is a complaint let's get
free stuff.
Yeah.
Oh dear
Facebook.
Excuse me for
popping my head
over your wall.
Brilliant.
I just wanted
to poke you
about a certain
event.
Nice.
That happened
in our
home.
Yep.
Yep.
And also to have
a chat
with you
and send you
a message
and tag my photos or something.
This is like the jokes that always come out
when a famous person does.
Like when Michael Jackson does.
Yeah, all the song titles.
Oh, I liked him even though he was bad,
but he was certainly a thriller
and sent me off the wall.
Earth song.
Such awful fucking jokes, but your one was a good one.
Sorry, carry on.
Thank you.
Basically, here's the lowdown on the 5-0 Dizzle.
My son Fraser, brackets, we keep him in a bucket,
bloody loves your magazine on the telly,
and came crying to me the other day. Once we had established that this was
not to do with cancer or no legs or the other stuff, we knew that it was about his book
on his face. How does he type? He has to spit popcorn kernels at the keys. Also, Fraser
is blind, I would imagine, so his computer is all in braille. Not real braille, we can't afford that,
it's just a Colonel's East misquid stuck to the screen.
Nice.
Fraser informed us, through an interpretive dance and dribble,
that discussion topics have been deleted off his favourite page,
the Peacock and Gamble podcast.
I listened to it once, but it got me all sexy,
so I can't hear it anymore,
because it gets my husband well jealous,
and that isn't fair, because he is a space vicar.
I told Fraser there was nothing we could do because
I was busy breathing. But he
wouldn't stop crapping shit out his mouth
so I just left him where he was all chained up
in the garden. But when I next looked he had gone
leaving only a note that he had gone
to sort out the internet. Don't know how he wrote
that but this is getting a bit long so fuck it.
Eventually I found him
brackets
eventually after I started looking
with his head in one of them
green boxes on the street
which has got all the
telephone wires in
brackets
I don't know what they're called
and Ray doesn't either.
You did ask me that before.
He was shouting at the internet
telling it to sort out Facebook.
Then there was a loud crackle
and now Fraser's brain is part robot.
Please send a new computer or something.
Ooh, it hurts, but I like it, Mrs Fraser.
Brilliant, I like that one.
Yeah.
And also I like the thing about pooing...
Crapping words out of his mouth.
Crapping words out of his mouth.
Yeah.
Because also, that's another thing we've not mentioned yet,
is that Fraser did have an operation once
and did an accident in the operation
where they wired his vocal cords up to his bum and his colon up to his throat so he now
does actually crap out of his mouth.
Poos out of his mouth.
That is real that.
Yeah, that is real.
That is a real thing that really happens to Fraser.
We've not mentioned that yet.
He has to do and stand on the toilet.
Yeah, I'll perhaps mention that in my one next week.
Poor little Fraser. I hope he does get sorted toilet. Yeah, I'll perhaps mention that in my one next week. Poor little Fraser.
I hope he does get sorted out.
Yeah.
Maybe we could send him a free ticket to our live show.
Yeah, that'd be good.
All right, we'll send Fraser a free ticket.
Fraser, if you're listening,
we'll send you a free ticket to our live show,
but unfortunately for everyone else,
just to wrap up the show today,
you'll have to get your tickets elsewhere.
