Starting point is 00:00:00 Yeah, what do you want? Beak or jaws, feathers or fur, sharp teeth or feet with claws, whatever's prefer. Just kidding every word in his song's about two grown men dressed up as a bird and a dog. Welcome to the Wolf and Owl email special. Yeah, it's a war for now. Email special with Tom Davis and Ramesh rang in Nathan. Should we get straight into it? Hi Wolf Al Swan and Cat.
Starting point is 00:00:29 A few months ago. I emailed about advice on words when proposing to your other half. The time came on Saturday, oh my God. Oh my God. The time came on Saturday to finally pop the question. And with the help from you guys, it went very smoothly. As you took all the pressure off me thinking it had to be some big speech, and just kept it natural in the moment and went with a flow.
Starting point is 00:00:47 Thankfully, it ended with her saying yes, which topped it off as requested last time by Tom. We bought two tickets to one of his shows, the one in Portsmouth, which would subsequently be our first ever stand-up show live. We can't wait. Sorry for the long email. It's not actually that long at all. I just wanted to say thank you for advice. Many thanks.
Starting point is 00:01:01 A nervous number. Congratulations. Wow. Congratulations. Isn't that cool? Mate, I feel buzzing back. Two tickets. There's two tickets in Portsmouth.
Starting point is 00:01:12 I want to meet these people. Yeah. Tom wants to meet you. See you before after the show. Yeah. Come and say hello. Yeah. Congratulations.
Starting point is 00:01:21 You've got people coming to the Portsmouth show. Yeah, yeah. Portsmouth. Weirdly, Portsmouth has never been a problem. Yeah. That's what you did your special, isn't it? I love Portsmouth. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:29 great city for the great people. Yeah. And two very special people coming. I'm actually, do you know what? I feel like, wow, they should also come to the club night. Yeah, you should. Tickets to the club night are yours. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. We haven't even put it on.
Starting point is 00:01:43 We didn't know when it is. And now you're offering free ticket. You didn't comps before we even... Oh, you could pick them up as a chauffeur in your Aston. Well, we'll have to strap one of them to the roof. Okay. Oh, my gosh. Shall we...
Starting point is 00:01:58 That's amazing, by the way. Yeah, that's incredible. Genuinely. Give me five. That's incredible, bro. Congratulations, man. That's great. That's made me feel happy.
Starting point is 00:02:06 Yeah, made me feel really happy. That's good. Really good. The two people are getting married. That is a winner, by the way, that we should go to. I know we've said it a lot and we've gone, oh, we might go to one, but this, we're in the mix of this. Well, the nervous number, in fairness. We DJ at the wedding for free.
Starting point is 00:02:21 Well, they're not even suggested that we're invited. Yeah, I'm just saying. And neither of us can DJ. So those are the main obstacles. What Percy's coming with us. So now they've invited Rod Percy. And Rob Percy's DJing for free, by the way. That's how he, by the way, that's how he makes his living.
Starting point is 00:02:36 But now we've offered him... Rob Percy, by the way, I would tell you now, is not just a DJ. I'd say Rob Percy's going to be one of the best wedding guests. He's a portal of entertainment system. Oh, fucking love him. Yeah. He's so much fun to be around. I think Rob Percy injected into your spirit, like elevates your move by at least 20%.
Starting point is 00:02:52 Yeah, agreed. It's not red ball, but in human form. All right, all right. Relax. What are you marry it? I've done how to do that. Double wedding. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:01 Are you one of those media strategy people clicking through slides, scrolling spreadsheets? Yes? Good. This is for you. Because on Spotify, there's an audience that's different. Locked in. Loyal.
Starting point is 00:03:12 Invested. They're called fans. Fans don't just listen to music. They feel seen by it like it belongs to them. So when your brand shows up on Spotify, that's who you're talking to. And you're right next to artists like me, Lizzo. So, are you ready to talk to fans?
Starting point is 00:03:27 Spotify advertising. You're among fans. Hey y'all, it's Kelly Clarkson with Wayfair. Ever order furniture online and wonder what if? Like, what if it doesn't hold up? That sofa was four days old. You should have ordered from Wayfair. With Wayfair, there's no what if. Just style you love and quality you can trust. Visit Wayfair. Wayfair, every style, every home. Okay, do you want to do that question? I'm so buzzing. Oh, I'll take a moment. Well, hello, sweet, sweet, sweet selves. I recently stumbled upon your podcast. I absolutely love it. So I thought I'd ask you a little question.
Starting point is 00:03:59 I enjoy doing things to get a reaction out of my partner. I tend to do things that annoy her for a laugh. For example, I've recently started a new tradition. Every morning, I step on the scales in the morning. I stick the swans in the air as if I'm at a boxing way in. Or whenever we're cooking something, whether it's a pie, a curry or something else, I always say, do you know what would be great in this, a tin of baked beans? Or my personal favourite, simply breathing.
Starting point is 00:04:23 What is going on here? My question is, do you guys do anything to get a rise of your better halves or totally normal things that seem to get on their nerves? All the best, Ian. By the way, Ian, I love the fact Ian's just gone with Ian. He's not even. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Really, not an animal name. Weirdly, the baked bean thing is something I do to Catherine that really annoys it.
Starting point is 00:04:45 And I don't do it as a joke. I just think baked beans in everything. In a curry? In a curry. It's amazing. Bake bean curry is actually quite good. Babe bean curry is amazing. name a thing that baked beans isn't working
Starting point is 00:04:55 trifle well that's you just trying to be like rock together no what'd you mean fucking savoury we didn't say that did you yeah by the way is a name a thing by the way if you
Starting point is 00:05:05 I bet if you blitz them up put a little bit of sugar in then they'd be doing it okay here you go with your sugar thing again I'm not after the rhubarb gate I'm gonna get into this by the way it turns out
Starting point is 00:05:14 rhubarb's not even a fucking fruit no it's a vegetable but by the way rhububbs are amazing in a trifle right can I right baked beans name a savory dish that baked beans doesn't go in.
Starting point is 00:05:23 All right. Can't. There's not a dish he doesn't go with. I'm thinking, I'm thinking. Lazzania? No, baked beans are caught. Bate beans going on a lasagna. Everyone's going, oh, fuck, mate, we're fucked.
Starting point is 00:05:36 We are fucked. Okay. Bake beans are here. Okay. I'd argue even the mince is going, uh-uh. Bade beans in a vegetarian lasagna is amazing. Okay, fine. Let me try and think of something else.
Starting point is 00:05:49 I can't actually. There's nothing. Actually, I've thought, gone gone i don't think baked beans would find themselves slightly sort of over on in a chinese meal yeah i don't think but i don't know if baked beans would stir-fried baked beans wouldn't be bad maybe you might be right yeah i mean yeah tomato sauce doesn't really belong in a chinese no indian food it goes great with yeah it goes great Thai green curry yeah yeah you're right yeah Thai and Chinese food yeah um kebab i think i think beans on the side of a kebab would be bang him
Starting point is 00:06:22 gives you a little bit of moisture. Pizza? Actually, Bay Peas, you can get a full English pizza. That's fucking dreadful. Do you know what Theo had when we're in Barcelona? A pizza with chips on?
Starting point is 00:06:37 Chips and pepperoni. Wow. That's a bit like what they call, like a... Are you okay? What's those things called? Jaro. It's like a gyro, right?
Starting point is 00:06:47 It's like a... Yeah, isn't it pronounced Giros? Yeah. I call it a jar. Yeah. Well, we also call it prawn puree. I do quite a lot of things like eating, by the way.
Starting point is 00:06:59 My eating style really annoyscate. If we have popadoms or prawn crackers, it really annoyscatherine. We can't have a romantic meal with any hard. Because I tend to eat in my mouth open with those things. I get so excited about that course in particular. Yeah, yeah. I just go sew it.
Starting point is 00:07:15 Tortoise. Have you ever made tortilla chips with a tortilla? Oh, no, Catherine does, yeah. Yeah, delicious. so much better. Yeah. But then it does really sort of bring home how unhealthy those things are.
Starting point is 00:07:27 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Prawn crackers, by the way, just delicious. I mean, you can't have them, but fuck me, that amazing. I, uh, a lot of what I do and gets on Lisa's nerves, I think.
Starting point is 00:07:38 Yeah, yeah. But what I like, you know, the main thing I do is griff her up. You're so funny. You like that, man. You're quite, like, gropey around the house. I'm not so gropy. It's not like a sexual thing.
Starting point is 00:07:51 You'll be careful now as well, Because your boys are coming of age. If they see their dad sort of come around here, it's being a bit lechy. It's not letchy. It's kind of like, what's the best way to, you know, like. Come here, Lex. It's a bit like that, yeah. Get in here.
Starting point is 00:08:05 Well. Get a TV on. Come in have a kiss. No, I wouldn't do that, but, you know. Get here, come here. Come here. Come here. Come here.
Starting point is 00:08:16 I'm scared. I'm affectionate, but in a way that's annoying. In what sense? Give Rommy a kiss. Yeah, a little bit of that. Or I might. Or I might, you know, she might be cooking and then I'd just give her a little cuddle from behind. Oh, that's nice though.
Starting point is 00:08:28 I know, but it's, I think sometimes, like, if you're, if you're busy, you don't want this fucking. No, I don't. Do you know what I think she'd like that? You don't want an Olympic clinging on to you. No, I think you're being arshing yourself. I don't, that's a different thing for the boy. That's a nice thing for the boys to see. Well, when we're, when we're in Barcelona, oh my God, I haven't told you my, my Barcelona story.
Starting point is 00:08:49 Oh, hit me. It's not really a story. It's not really a story. It's like a little thing. Anyway, one of the things. happened. We went to a theme park. Nice. And then Lisa and I had a little peck on the on the lips. I don't know
Starting point is 00:08:58 why. Anyway, it doesn't matter. Just general reflection. No, but it was off a moment or something. That's nice though. Anyway, Alex said to me, you're too old for that now. What? Wow. Grace makes me and Catherine kiss in front of her. She's like, Mommy Daddy have a kiss. Oh, that's quite sweet.
Starting point is 00:09:15 Anyway, we were doing a lot of shopping on the last day and we cut it quite fine to get into the car to go to the airport. I respect that, by the way. I respect what? The fact you've cut it fine. I think everyone puts so much emphasis on getting to places, are they? So, we're cutting it quite fine. I said to Lisa, she was buying a handbag or something,
Starting point is 00:09:32 and I said to her, I'm going to take two of the boys back to the hotel, we'll get the luggage in the car, and then we'll wait for you. This is the most, that's a fucking, that's a vibe. Do you think so? Yeah, I actually think it's quite sexy. Anyway, the boys, the boys. Which put two boys you take for that job? that was
Starting point is 00:09:51 Alex and Alex and Charlie Good choice So we're going off We're walking down the street The boys are a bit tired And I thought I'd do something funny So I knew I had a quacky fart
Starting point is 00:10:03 Lined up Right I love that you call it a quacky far You know like when you know It's going to be like a MET Yeah So I said
Starting point is 00:10:12 We're walking along And I said Listen to this Nothing to miss Dund da dun dun dun Oh wow Wow And then let rip with this fart, right?
Starting point is 00:10:22 Yeah. And I thought it would make them laugh. Unfortunately, as I got to the end of the song, I hadn't noticed, but a group of women sort of got to the other side, like to our side of the road from crossing and sort of moved in directly behind us. As I finished the song and did the fart. Oh, wow. They suddenly hear a group of women cracking up laughing.
Starting point is 00:10:43 Oh, wow. Alex goes, oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God, they heard. Then they start pointing at me and nudging their, mates and going basically saying this guy's farted and I just fucking ran away you ran well I sort of walked very quickly because it was just fucking humiliating that how mad is this right and you can verify this with your brother right this is an insane thing this has happened to you so we were in cornwall me and your brother doing a show we go for one we have a morning walk every morning so we've walked up to the top of this hill cliff thing looking down at sea and we come walking back the night before
Starting point is 00:11:17 we've had well day before we've had quite a big lunch we've had quite a bit you know and we've got around out for pizza. So as we're walking down the hill, I was like, I can have like, Din, I'm like, proper guffing loads. And we sort of making a bit of a joke about it. And we passed this woman who was sort of, like, looking out to sea and stuff.
Starting point is 00:11:33 We sort of walked down the hill a bit, and then we've stopped a cut of times to sort of take pictures and me. And as we're walking down, your brother's really, he's really funny around Farts. He's like, he hates them. He's quite prudish. Yeah, he's prudish around guffs, right?
Starting point is 00:11:46 So this is mad. So I go, Din, get a load of this. And I sort of cocked. my leg like that, stand there, cocked my leg, let rip, and the woman is literally there. Well, you hadn't noticed. No, because she was coming down behind me. And obviously, height-wise, she's literally eaten, like, and I was like, I literally was, I just mortified, just walked out. And then went, you far, that woman.
Starting point is 00:12:10 I was like, shut up, like, just keep walking. And we just kept, like, you know, it was so fucking, like, it was literally mortifying. Yeah. It's insane your brother, by the way, around anything like that. I don't think I've ever heard my brother fart. He, like, if you talk about, I mean, he's the opposite of you. What does that mean?
Starting point is 00:12:27 Well, no, because you and me, we've done a podcast for six years, and I think probably 70% of it is to be talking about farts and poos. Then, if you mention a fart, if you go, God, I'm going to have to go to the toilet, he goes, oh, God's sake. Like, anything else he'll have a joke about. He just gets really prudish around that. Yeah, I don't think I've heard him say I need to take a shit or anything like.
Starting point is 00:12:47 No. No. Interesting. He just slopes off. Yeah. Yeah. He got caught up, by the way, bad, and a change in a dressing room incident. What happened?
Starting point is 00:12:58 Well, we share a dressing room now. We sort of, yeah. And yeah. Why are you showing a dressing room, by the way? Because we like it, meaning we chat before. Oh, God. I don't want to be sat on my own before a show. Be sat on your own, but you're fucking grown up.
Starting point is 00:13:14 Why? You're about to do a show. Why do you be sat with the support act, forcing his, support act to fucking smell your shit. No, he loves being, not that bit, he loves it together. We sit, we chat, we joke, we laugh. We watch videos together on YouTube. All right, I need to chat to dinner
Starting point is 00:13:30 and get his side of things on this. Okay, we'll get it on a voice note. Yeah, all right. Hi, Rom and Tom. Help settle a debate, please. What way up do you eat a chocolate digestive? Do you have chocolate facing up, say it sticks to the roof of your mouth? Well, chocolate facing down, so it melts on your tongue as you eat. Well, first of all, the way you phrase that is incredibly leading. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:49 My boyfriend Ian, oh, hello. That could be the same Ian. Says it's serial killer vibes, eating them chocolate way down. Both him and his mate Matt say my way is wrong. They're from McElwfield, so they're a bit weird. Okay. Which could explain it. If the chocolate was meant to be on the top, then the writing would be on it,
Starting point is 00:14:04 and they'd be that way up in the packet. Please confirm the correct way. Love you lots. Thanks, Abby. Thank you, Abby. By the way, Abby always reassures me as the name. In what way? I can't think of a bad Abby of it.
Starting point is 00:14:15 I was a nice person. Okay. Tom, chocolate digestives. I mean, I like Abby. I think she's a really good person. But I'm going to tell you now, I never ever eaten a chocolate biscuit with the chocolate facing down.
Starting point is 00:14:30 It's insane. The chocolate has to be up. What? Are you the other way around? Okay. Well, okay. Are you genuinely saying to me? First of all, I've got a lot to say about this.
Starting point is 00:14:46 Okay, well, I'll tell you what, if you can make a convincing argument, then, yeah, I'll be shocked. I can't see, it can't fath them. So you're telling me a Jaffa cake
Starting point is 00:14:56 you'd eat with the sponge up? Yeah, sponge up, yeah. What chocolate down? Well, no, look, look, that's a bit different, okay, I'm talking about chocolate,
Starting point is 00:15:03 chocolate digestives in particular. Okay, go, okay. Shout out, Jamie Lang, by the way. For what? Well, he's part of the movie. Oh, yeah, of course, yeah. It's good. Candy kittens are doing one.
Starting point is 00:15:12 It's good, good to see him. Yeah, but obviously, you know what? And he's got the Disney Plus, seriously. Finally, things are looking up for him. Anywho, I know I do like Jamie, I love Jamie.
Starting point is 00:15:24 Not love too much, but I do like him. Yeah, he's a good guy. He's a sweetheart. Anyway, we talked about this on the Ranganation. Okay. I believe that you should eat chocolate down. Okay, I don't believe that you should. I think it's... But why?
Starting point is 00:15:37 Because it's a chocolate digestive. Yeah. You're eating it because you like chocolate. By the way, I would say that I think the best way of eating there was two biscuits, squeezed together. We're talking about people, not fucking animals. Okay.
Starting point is 00:15:51 So you like it, you eat it because you like the chocolate. Yeah. The best way to taste most of the chocolate is with the chocolate facing down. Why, no? Because it hits your tongue straight away. Yeah, but you're not like chew it. Yeah, of course you do, but straight away, you're in chocolate city, which is Lisa's nickname for me, by the right?
Starting point is 00:16:08 Right, so we talked about this on the Ranganation. Yeah. McVitties. Yeah. saw the debate and they tweeted the correct way to it
Starting point is 00:16:19 a chocolate digestive is chocolate down what so the manufacturers have confirmed now there are some counter arguments to this
Starting point is 00:16:27 for example the Jaffa cake is a good counter argument yeah the second big counter argument is pizza right
Starting point is 00:16:32 all of the flavor of a pizza is on the top yeah right and you don't eat that upside well everything would fall off well that's my
Starting point is 00:16:39 counter argument actually by the way can I say pizza had an amazing pizza whilst I was in Truro in Cornwall. Okay. Home of pizza.
Starting point is 00:16:50 Bossos pizza parlour. Beautiful pizza. Okay. Small little business. Yeah. Mom and Pop Store almost. And they do these big pizza slices. I'd say the best way to eat it's a pizza.
Starting point is 00:16:59 I don't use anything better than rolling a pizza up. So it's like in like a sandwich and eating it. Oh, that's good. Yeah. Pizza is the biggest counter argument to the top. You know, pizzas are different than the jet. You can't get involved in that. That's a different race. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:12 And there's a great. Gravity. Yeah. There's a gravity issue. Yeah. But chocolate digestive is chocolate down. That's insane. I don't have to try it now.
Starting point is 00:17:22 You're about to have your taste buds blown. You will get chocolate on your fingers. Yeah. I mean, I would say that that's, that's, because also then I think at home that's fine because there's nothing better than licking your fingers. Like there's stuff that's better than licking your fingers at home. You're not got Wi-Fi.
Starting point is 00:17:39 No, but it's something nice about going. Right, yeah. Yeah. do the unbroken eye contact. Yeah, okay, but I'd say that when you're out in public, and if you've got those little three packs of digestive, you've got chocolate all over your fingers, it's a lot of me. Hi, Rommish and Tom. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I did this the other week. You've made a mistake like this before. Yeah, yeah, okay, so just let the email take you naturally.
Starting point is 00:18:04 Hi, Romish and Tom. Firstly, I'm a big fan of the show. It's become a staple listen. Romish, I've followed your work for years and always rated you. Tom, I'll be honest. I hadn't probably come across your stuff until Silverstone last year, but you were generally one of the highlights of the whole event. Naturally, I did what any normal person would do, and immediately binge through everything you've ever done. Now here's where things take a turn. Not long after, we went to a live recording of Nevermind of Buzzcocks,
Starting point is 00:18:29 and Tom, you were there. Then we went to a live female with Unacceptable, and guess who was on the team, Mr. Tom Davis again. At this point, I think this is getting suspicious. And then, to top it all off, we had the chance to say hello at the end, Instead of playing it call, I panicked and basically dropped the, this looks a bit stalkerish line, which I regret to this day. So my question is, how do you not come across like a stalker when it's generally just a coincidence?
Starting point is 00:18:53 Because I'll be seeing Tom later in nothing, again, in nothing later this year, and I'm keen to avoid escalating this into something that ends up with security getting involved. Any advice appreciated, ideally before I accidentally attend a third event in a row and complete the trilogy. Cheers, Aaron, aka the QuickBooks Chat. Does that mean anything to your QuickBooks chat? Yeah, it does. Do you explain it? No, I chatted to him, I think, and he mentioned the QuickBooks thing.
Starting point is 00:19:19 When did you chat to him? I think I chatted to him after it. I can't remember. I remember having an awkward encounter with someone after the show that you guys make. Unacceptable. Right. So he chatted to him and he mentioned QuickBooks. I think so.
Starting point is 00:19:33 And then did he say the... He made a joke that alluded to the Storker Christian. I can't 100%. By the way, that sort of stuff never trips me. I'm never like, if someone's nice and genuine, I'm always like, I'm naturally, I try to start a conversation with people I've met before at times and it goes badly. So I think I'm the worst person to ask about this. I've made a fool of myself by just thinking, oh, yeah, I'll crack a joke and that's a way in. And it's backfire quite a lot of times.
Starting point is 00:20:04 I would say that from what I remember of Aaron, he was very sweet. Yeah, a nice guy. Okay. Yeah, and also a great crowd member. So, Aaron, you don't have anything to worry about? No, not at all. What was the question, sorry? Can we scroll out of some question?
Starting point is 00:20:18 No, after Notting him, come and come and, yeah. How do you not come across like a stalker when it's Jenny just coincidental? I think, I think, I'm a stalker always struck me. Well, I mean, I wouldn't say it's coincidence that you're going to seeing him in Nottingham. No, no, you're coming along to show. That feels deliberate. That's not happening accidentally, has it? But also I would say that I just always just think, be yourself and just be relaxing,
Starting point is 00:20:37 and chill, have a laugh. Have you had this scenario? Because you feel like to me, I always think with you, you're not one of those people who's gonna, you'll let the fucking action come to you rather than you go to the action.
Starting point is 00:20:47 What does that mean? I think, for example, if you saw Tieri-onri, right? One of your all-time heroes. I don't think for a second you go over to Tieri and start a conversation. I think you'd hold back,
Starting point is 00:20:58 you'd be cool, you'd be relaxed. And if he didn't come over to you, you'd just be like, okay, that didn't happen. That is probably how I would approach it, yeah. Yeah. Whereas if that was me, and I saw someone that I really idolised.
Starting point is 00:21:10 You'd follow him home. I'd go over and say, I remember I was a fan. I think you're amazing or something like that. Yeah, I mean, I think there's probably arguments, I think that like, it's a bit, like, I remember I told you about this when I went to see,
Starting point is 00:21:25 I went to see Drey and Snoop and Eminem was out, came as a special guest or whatever at that launch thing. Then Martin was DJ in that event at that event. He said to me, do you want to come and meet them backstage afterwards? And I said, no. Even though, not in a, I'm too. too good for them, but in a like,
Starting point is 00:21:39 obviously I'm obsessed with Dre, I'm obsessed with Snow, I love Eminem, but I just thought, I've seen them do what they do. I don't want to go back there. Do you know what I mean? Like,
Starting point is 00:21:48 I just feel like they're not, they've not got any interest in me. Like if, if somehow socially we happen to be, I'm not saying this would ever happen, but if socially we happen to be in the same situation, we're at a dinner together and then we,
Starting point is 00:22:01 or whatever, that's not going to happen. I've seen you in those scenarios. Yeah. And you have an element of coolness around you that, I know you're going to know I don't but you do like it's like you have an aura now we talk about ours and it's become a thing but you have something about you
Starting point is 00:22:13 that makes you very like you don't feel out of place in that sort of scenario I do feel out of place in that but you don't ever give the it you you haven't or like this way about you that makes you feel like oh yeah he he you can you can you can walk around these people it doesn't fit I know you that because I know you well I know that there's you don't feel like that yeah but I think that almost you care well I think we both feel the same I then carry it off with like a gist sort of feeling of someone who's been allowed. So if you, so, because you, yeah, I just think like, like, yeah, do you about say Declan,
Starting point is 00:22:46 I know for a fact that I've made such a pratt out of myself and found the Declan Rice that he, that is, that, even though, you know, he's been lovely to me since, I know, I'm more than aware that the first few times I met Declan Rice gave him the lasting impression that I was a fucking looser. That is, and he's lovely to me and I'm not, this is nothing against Declan's because I think he's a credit to the guy. I mean, I love the guy. But I know for a fact that I was, I was so excited to me. By the way, in Declan's defence, he was like a 19, 20-year-old kid, and I was so overawed with meeting him.
Starting point is 00:23:15 But my thing is, I will tell the person what I think, and how great they are. I think they're truly brilliant person. I'll go, no, I think you're fucking amazing. Thank you for this, or well-done for the, you know, or whatever. And that's how I compensate. Whereas I think you compensate, yours is a better way of doing it, because I think you're, you handle it in a more aloof way,
Starting point is 00:23:31 that people go, oh, fucking hell, he's a cool character, even though I think you're probably going through the same sentiment. But if like somebody ever, sometimes people like to be told that somebody's a fan of theirs, right? So they're getting that from you, whereas they're not getting that from me? No, but I think that that's the difference between it, is that I think that then you maintain a place of being,
Starting point is 00:23:52 like if you met Declan, by the, right, even though he's just been one of the most instrumental people in winning you the league and is now going to be an Arsenal fucking legend. And you have met Declan. I know you've met him. If you were to see him, I think you'll be an even keel, where I would still be, he's this, and I'm a,
Starting point is 00:24:10 well, he'd not want to say to you now, would I do? I think you'd still be sweet. I don't think you'd spend any time talking to me. This would be what would happen if he'd walk in and see his both. He'd go, hey, Declan, he'd go, hey, man, how are you? You're right. Rom. And that would be it.
Starting point is 00:24:28 That's what I think would happen. I don't think so. And I'd just sort of go, and then have to sort of go over and chat to, you know, make a fucking fool of myself in front of Gabrielle or Scyl or something like that. Yeah, well, anyway, the point is I'm not going to invite you to the next answer event. Hi guys, my question is, do your kids ever do anything where you don't know whether to laugh or be terrified of the small human you created? For example, this is drawing my six-year-old Matilda did when she woke up.
Starting point is 00:24:57 It's her ripping a mallard apart with her bare hands because I quote, she's angry about ducks. In case there was any doubt, she's clearly labelled the duck severed body part. Should I consider therapy for my child? Love the pod. I never miss an episode. Well, I would suggest you miss a couple. Helen Farmer, the Concerned Quala.
Starting point is 00:25:14 Let's have a look at the picture. Oh, wow, that's a rhyme, by the way. Helen Farmer, the Concern Coala. You know what, that's a great picture. It's not just feet in her head, is it? Where's the rest of it? I'd be more concerned about her lack of understanding of anatomy, really. She's sick.
Starting point is 00:25:30 I don't think that is something to be frightened. I think it's hilarious. I think it's really great. I think it's funny. I think it's really funny. Yeah, it's good. My kids are always drawing stuff like people being beheaded and stuff like that. Grace constantly draws me being pooed on.
Starting point is 00:25:43 That's the thing at the moment. Yeah. And Charlie, our youngest, often draws a picture of me dead, and he's standing on top of my body and he's like, got my head like this and he's like, fuck you, daddy. It's that funny, isn't it? I'll be worried about it. It's funny.
Starting point is 00:25:59 You should get that tattooed on your leg. Yeah, and it's just funny. It's good times. I don't think there's anything dark about Please can Danny have a kiss Charles John one of his pictures And then I say to him
Starting point is 00:26:11 What's his picture And he says Oh the title's on the back And it says my wishes made true Wow It's cool, it's cool I don't think he's any wrong with that Then he debags you
Starting point is 00:26:21 In front of the whole of the school Yeah Anyway, that is the end He doesn't by the way Just to be clear He doesn't do anything No no no But I wanted you to see
