Oh my back on I'm back Yeah Yeah what you want Beak or jaws Feathers or fur Sharp teeth or feet with claws Whatever's prefer

Just kidding word in his songs about two grown men dressed up as a bird and a dog. Welcome to another episode of the Wolf and Owl. Obviously this has been a bit of a strange opening to the episode because you were devouring a chocolate cake. It wasn't devouring, but I didn't realize it was... I didn't realize how quickly we were getting into the app. We came in the studio three times.

We sort of like preemptively sort of came in and came out. And you came in with it. How's my face? Have I got chocolate? Well, you look beautiful. as always. You look, by the I've never seen you eating a cake before

with your hands. I think I've seen you eating dessert with a spoon. The way you seductively lick your fingers, it's quite... Welcome to the wolf for now. Where we... How would you describe the podcast?

Have we ever described the podcast? But we sit down and shoot the shit, shoot the fat, and discuss various things. That just basically sounds like every podcast. Oh no. Two guys. Two guys.

no preparation. This is to wolf it out my mate. We thought it's so stupid because we thought this was like a thing. The gimmick of the podcast is that we don't have any prep. Yeah. But actually it turns out that every podcast has no prep. Can I say, but I've done quite a few now. A lot of, there's prep done on some of them. Okay. There were questions. And they are better, aren't they? Oh yeah. Well, this would be significantly better if we came to it. But by the way, can I say how much it's been

in like sort of other people have made an effort to make the surroundings? things. And it's like not that we've upped our game, we're still coming in with the same trivial crap that we were spoutle when we were just doing it on Zoom. Yeah. A bit nervous about having eating this cake so close to the F, actually. Like it still feels... Can I say everyone else is waiting for the... Everyone's... There was an open thing said, let's wait for it afterwards for the cake to be eaten. I know, yeah. No, but I had an individual vegan one. Yeah, I know. Yeah, so I started eating that, I think... Can I say, but the first... Sorry, they got... Sorry, Tom, just stop a second.

They got the knives and the plates out. So obviously, they That is, I thought they're going to start cutting the cake. And then they went, oh, should we do it afterwards? Yeah, because of sugar, prashes. Yeah, I saw you do that little thing that you lit the top and... I didn't do that. You gave the raspberry a little lick. No, I didn't give the raspberry, I took the raspberry off.

Oh, I thought you licked it and ate it. No. I wasn't watching you like a hawk until you came in here. Well, it feels like you were. You've just done a fucking impression. No. Cupcakes are quite difficult to eat, actually. Not if you eat like a horse.

A horse eating an apple. I'm just saying that you had that vibe to you Okay Anyway welcome to the podcast Where a man And his favorite A man and his favorite

Talk about stuff I don't know who's doing that scenario I think we do I think we all do Um It's something else here now Something new From

Exclosively on Paramount Plus It's the series Stephen King Calls Scary as Hell Everything Here is impossible, but it's also real. Sci-Fi vision comes up the best show streaming right now.

We're running out of time and we still don't know the rules. Don't miss what the movie blog calls something you need to watch. Saving those children is how we all go home. From Binge All Episodes exclusively on Paramount Plus. Please, could you remember to like and subscribe? We don't want casuals here. We do want casuals as well, but we want to turn those casuals into regular slides. Yeah.

It's a big thing now. The subscription is a huge thing. It's the way all the numbers are being analysed and so it's how you get the sponsorships. I'm into analytics? Yeah. No. Do you know the thing? Although I do think they're useful.

Stephen Bartlett uses him a lot. Have you ever done a diary of a CEO? No. I guess you have to be some sort of CEO, don't you know, of that level? Yeah, of course. I'm literally, you're not a CEO, I? No, but I'm sort of, I'm the CEO of sort of my area. What's that?

I'm big dick. Well, now, what you've done is, I was doing a bit there, and now by fucking taking the piss out of me doing the bit, it makes it look like I was serious. So that's a fucking... But that's what happens. I think you get on Dyer of a CEO,

and it sort of, it can alter your mind because you feel, because it's called Dyer of a CEO, by nature you think everyone on there's going to be a CEO of something. I think that's how it started. Yeah. And then he ran out of CEO. Yeah, now it's just like people that think bread is poisonous or whatever.

But like I think that... By the way, like with him, is there a friendship there? Or is it like, did you do that? I didn't speak to him before or nor have I spoken to him afterwards. Not even via DM. I've had no contact with them apart from that. Did you get booked via him or what? The only words uttered between myself and Stephen Bartlett,

as I arrived at the studio to sit down with him. For the duration of the podcast then afterwards. But in defense of Stephen Bartlett, because it was on going in two-footed on him. Did he book you himself? Was it like, so you got booked for a... Yeah.

Okay, in exterior. I wonder, actually, on that, it wouldn't surprise me if they feed it into the Opta supercomputer to decide who they want on as a guest rather than actually decide on personal taste. It does feel like, though, because there was a time when he was actually,

I suppose, quite a lot. But he felt like he was a king of prep. He is the king of prep. For a podcast. He's like that end of the spectrum. Yeah. He literally is no stone left. if uncovered.

Did you find him, yeah. He was, you're both Arsenal fans as well. We didn't talk about that. But the thing I would say is, researched up to the eyeballs, asked me questions I've not been asked elsewhere. Really, and not only that, he'd prepped. I want to give credit where credit's due. He'd prepped in a way that allowed him to be nimble in the interview.

So what I mean was he responded directly to stuff I'd said. He wasn't just like these are the questions. We've all been on those. Yeah, yeah. Do you know what I mean? where they just literally, it doesn't matter what you say. This guy, and that's when I decided to stick my dick in her ear. And how did you get into comedy?

You know, like, they just, it's just plow on regardless of what he's saying. Yeah, I've done quite a few of those ones. I quite enjoy those ones sometimes. I do too, because I sort of think I can say whatever I want. No one's listening. It's going to be no weird. There's been great. It's really in sight.

There's going to be no repercussions. Do you want to listen to this back? I don't think, I don't think anyone will listen to this. One of the things we haven't talked about. I mean, I know we talk about what, where, when, wrong, but, you know, podcasts in general. Yeah. I know that, you know, we're not breaking the mould. We're not even approaching

the mould. I don't think we've seen a mould. What we're using is a mould that has been used many times before. Actually, it is mould, what we're doing. Right. A horrible blue mould. You know, the one, it's spread enough now. But this is a question we'll ask you about

mould, sorry. Fucking out. That chocolate cake has absolutely kicked in. I'm off my tits. You know, because there's no gluten, no meat. in there. Jesus. Well, I would fucking hope not. Why would there be meat in a cake? No, no, like butter or like animal. Yeah, yeah, sure. Like, so it's so much more sugar in there than No, that's not true. But I do think it's more artificial. Yeah. Because you've got, you're replacing egg. Yeah, yeah. Egg has got a magical. Egg, by the way, is so fucking amazing. In what way? I feel so sorry for you that you don't get wrapped round egg anymore.

I don't get wrapped around egg. I just love egg. I have like four eggs a day minimum. Yeah, all right, Eddie Abou. So, talk me through your day of eggs? Every morning I have eggs. How many in the morning? Anywhere between two and four. Okay. So I've scrambled, fried, poached, boiled.

Yeah, one of. One of each? No, no, no. I'll lean into that. And in the evening. Okay, here's a question for you with regards to boiling eggs. Yeah. Because I sometimes have to boil eggs for the kids.

Well, not for the kids, but there's instances where you have to boil an egg, like in an emergency. somebody's got a wound. You need to seal it. No, I'm just joking. So how do you, getting the shell off an egg? It's the easiest thing in a while. Talk to me.

Well, number one, boil it. I think seven minutes is the optimum for a nice jammy egg. Yeah. And what's the optimum? Uh. And then hit it straight into an ice bath. Straight into, okay. Now I've heard this.

And it'll cool it down. Oh, beautiful. And then that loosens the shell. And then when you get it out, you need to just slowly. Roll it. Roll it. And that will crack the it. Go down the barrel of the cameras, do that?

You roll it slow, roll it slow. And then it should crack it, and then you should be able to peel it nice and good. Oh, wicked. Yeah, that's good. Or you just give it a little knot with a spoon, maybe, really? Do you ever do soldiers? Eggy soldiers?

I don't mind them. Egg-wise, if I'm having bored eggs, that is like I was doing the night before, open hole in. Yeah, I mean, once you've opened them, I don't need to know the further steps. I get that. Literally, but I love nothing more,

a whole board egg in your mouth. Will you ever buy an egg spinach protein pot from a pre- yeah but I just find that I don't yeah I like I like the way I do them no how do you do them oh you've just said

in detail so much data anyway so anyway what else you're literally like it's your drunk what else you what else shut up man

shut up scramble egg shut up you don't know me you don't know me you don't tell you have fucking eggs you like eggs so much

why do you fucking marry eggs Lisa! You fucking Lisa! All right, go on, sorry. When else do you have an egg then? Two to four in the morning, I'll have two at night.

Two at night? Yeah, in the evening. I had a four eggs minimum a day. Four eggs minimum? Yeah. I think that's quite healthy from one. I like a leg. And also it's, you know, eggs, pancake you go.

Don't start, no, no, don't start. Don't, don't. Eggs are such a beautiful thing to cook and cement with. Cement in a recipe. Right, yeah. You can see. a recipe. They're a binding agent, aren't they? Yeah. Just, you know, such an underrated

part of that society. I don't think they're underrated. I don't think eggs are underrated. Could I say nothing better than slicing up an egg real fine, real slice, right? And then putting it in, like, with a bit of tuna fish, stick it in, nice bit of salty butter. I imagine you're doing that in a public workplace, mostly.

Sliced egg with tuna? What an antisocial prick. What do you do? Put the sandwich together and then just cock your leg a little. let one go. I'd love to just slowly. Yeah, it's all about the bread. Soft,

bun actually. It's fucking lovely with that. I, um, I, uh... Do you think you'll ever eat an egg again? Or is that it for you? I think it's possible.

Really? Yeah. I'd love to be there. What? I'd love that as something like, I, there's very few things. Actually,

you know what? I probably have that above watching a World Cup final. What, live at the stadium? You'd rather watch me eating egg. Yeah, the first time. Be at the World Cup final. Watching you eat an egg for the first time.

What the fucking are you talking about? What are you talking about? The feeling of watching you have an egg for the first, like scrambled. What do you think I'm going to do? No, you've not had an egg. When do you guys? My head's not going to fall off. I don't know.

Blow your mind though. I don't think it's going to blow my mind. I bet the way I do scrambled eggs would absolutely knock you silly. You go, oh, fucking that's good. Oh, really hell. What do you think I'm eating day to day? Just cardboard? No.

Oh my God. The flavors. The seasoning. The texture. Is that what you think it's going to happen? I'm going to have like some emotional moment I just think it would be an other one

I'm not fucking Tom Hankson castaway I eat regularly decent flavoured food but eggs just give you something so special right yeah

you know you know you give up tickets of the World Cup final and then I go yeah slightly better than I thought yeah that would be going

but also I think the World Cup final quite a lot of time is really overrated that is true I think we get very penned up thinking it's going to be this epic game

yeah I think that Well, because everyone's so nervous. Yeah, but also the last one, I had so many friends who went out and it was like, FOMO, FOMO, like, proper like, we can't not be there, mate, once in a lifetime.

Once you're a lifetime, I must get into a final. I was like, well, it did happen like two years ago. Yeah. And they're like, we have to go, we have to go. And they all went and said it was the biggest waste of money that ever lost. Yeah. It was an okay game.

Yeah. But like, fucking accommodation was shit, the fucking transport was shit, whatever. None of them come back going, oh, yeah, we lost, but that was a great weekend. That was shit. No, I get it. So I do think it's a very overrated thing.

Anything like that, we put too much. Eggs underrated. Eggs massively. Finals overrated. Because eggs are there every day. What does that mean? Because they're every day. So it's easy just to brush under what the work they're doing.

If the World Cup final happened every day, that would become underrated. You go, oh, I was that fucking hell. Brazil won today. Eurozone one today. There's always a World Cup final every other day. I don't even know how to even begin to engage with this conversation. No, but it's true. The things, because there's very few things in the modern world, right,

that are held up as a massive moment, right? More and more stuff now because they're like, oh, you know, we devour, like, the media or whatever so quickly, right? Content. So it's like very few things that are held as like a spectacle in the modern world, I think, anyway. And now, you know, the World Cup final being one of them. Album releases aren't as good as they used to be.

No, no way. And who listens to a whole album now? I mean I do all the time But what I'm saying is they're quite Disposable now As it used to be an event You know

You'd go down to the record shop Cue it outside HMV You'd go down to the record shop It's got your pennies together Sleeping Parenthood out He says The new Max Beigrave single

Long of All Years come out I can't wait to hear What Biggie's got to say In his Lankish album Apparently he's really Letting him have it And then that would be the only You could only

afford... Oh, someone's pissed in my sleeping bag. You only can afford one album a month, so it didn't matter what the quality of it was. You'd listen and listen and listen till you liked it. Someone's eating all of

my vegan sausage rose. We threw him in a fucking binion mug. I'm trying to make a point about music. Oh, okay, sorry. I was just like the characters. Yeah, but why I'm always getting fucking bullies? No, the character. What character?

What character? The vegan sausage rolls? The voice. It was a guy sleeping outside. You've got no memories going to a record shop, have you? Oasis. Oh yeah, okay, sorry. I was banging to Oasis, well.

Fucking Edge Lord. I loved that shit. He loved all the underground stuff. I got so angry at the Aeis where people did it. Well, I was watching people who only know the really, like. Because you were at Nebworth, right? No, yeah, back in the day, I went quite a lot. But when I was at, when I was at,

Wembley this time around. Yeah. And I could see people just sing and don't look back in anger and sort of like, you know, the more popular songs. And then when I were doing

a little B-side, and I'd really loudly sort of sing and I'd look down and see someone couldn't sing them. I'd be like, yeah, I think that's cool when somebody's policing

everyone's fun. Those always feel like the people that you'd want to hang out with the most. They're at Oasis, a band they followed for years and years and years. They know all the songs.

It should be a recipe for a great night. But instead, what I'm going to choose to do is really hunt around for a way to make myself annoyed and I found it. I'm going to be fucked off with people that are there that don't know the songs as well as I do.

He doesn't even know off the world away, mate. How could he fucking call himself a fan? I'm going to have to say something. The real fans missed out today because he's fucking here. In fairness to you that is why I didn't get tickets. Yeah, but I think that's a beautiful thing. I do think that's what I'm talking about with foam on things.

Because I like them. I think they're a great band. But do I deserve to be there for such a hot ticket? No. I think that's what I found about anything where it's just an event to be seen at. Although I'm going to go see Bruno Mars in the summer.

You should go and see Bruno Mars. One of the greats. Yeah, incredible. I forgot how good he was. I forgot how good he was. He's got a beautiful voice. Every night again he goes. But is he co-labbing with on this?

What do you mean? Is it just him and someone else or is it just him? I don't know. Harry Stiles is at the same time, right? Yeah. What do you make of Harry Stiles? What do I make of him?

Great Marathon Runner. Really? Did a sub three. What's that made? Less than three hours. What? Yeah. Fuck, okay.

He is fit. He is fit. Anyway, the point is... His body is incredible. I keep getting told by Martin Tosmith, friend of the show. Yeah. That Harry Stiles is an amazing artist, but I've not listened to any of his album. I used to love one.

I just assumed they're not for me. Did you? Yeah, I like their songs. What's your favorite one direction song? Oh, mate, it's gone out of my head now. You've asked me. I like their first one. What's the one?

Um, ah. You know, la, la, da, da, da, so endlessly. You don't know. Yeah, that's good. That's what makes you beautiful. That was fucking bangs. There's one that I like sad songs. I know you do.

That's what I like to make being, just imagine cat walking in one day and you just sat in the living room on your own listening to One Direction, just looking sorry for yourself. Single tier running down the cheek. I think it's moments. That's my favourite song of there.

How does it go? I want to play it for you now because I'll ruin it. We won't be able to use any of this. You think we can get licensing for a fucking One Direction song on the podcast. Oh, listen to it. We're barely allowed to play the fucking theme

tune, you mad bastard. This episode is brought to you by FedEx. These days, the power move isn't having a big metallic credit card to drop on the check at a corporate launch. The real power move is leveling up your

business with FedEx intelligence and accessing one of the biggest data networks powered by one of the biggest delivery networks. Level up your business. with FedEx, the new power move. Anyway, what we'll do is you play it and then I'll do a description of it afterwards.

Can I just say something? There are certain songs that make me feel quite sad. What I've realised now, you shouldn't ever watch somebody listening to a song like that. Why? I hated that. What's wrong with that? I think the song's good and I really love you,

but watching you have that moment with the song, I've found disgusting. Yeah, but that's the thing. I have no, like, I can't hide how a song emotionally touched sure it's beautiful that song

it's such a yeah so actually there's quite a lot of um a lot of their songs that really yeah I like one direction

yeah they're good they're great they're great and by the way if people think we don't have hot takes on this show yeah

some people think we've lost a bit of edge and we're not willing to say what counts but there you go we both think one direction are quite good are you gonna go

did you watch a Simon Cow um new uh video, the Simon Cowell show that's just come out on Netflix about it and putting together the new band. No. And I'm not watched that. Is that good?

Yeah. I quite enjoyed it. I think it's called, I think it's called 10th of December or something. Right. I quite enjoyed it. So hold on, he's putting together a new band? He's got a new band.

And the band are called 10th of December. How good are they? I don't think they'll wonder. I mean, look, it's a very, he's going out and this is it. He's basically, I mean, the drama of it's very high end. And Simon is like, this is my last chance. This is my last chance.

Sorry, can I just say, listen, I like Simon Cowell. Yeah. In as much as you can like him, you know. I'm still not sure of him. What I mean is, Simon, this, can we just stop with the fake Jeopardy? Yeah, I mean. This is your last chance. He's a fucking multi-millionaire.

Can I just say the fuck? Do you know what, Simon? Stop. Just stop. You've made more money that you can spend over like 10 life time. What they try to show him is that he's trying to give the kids a chart. The cringiest bit of this, he goes full. Brent. He goes full, like,

he basically picks these three the three bad boys. And he does this thing where he goes, I've got you together with me, because I used to be a bit like you. I was a naughty boy at school. I was a bit of, I lived on the edge. I was a bit of a rascal when I was younger, I know what it is to be naughty. And it's just all a bit like trying to sort of be in with the cool kids. It's a bit. And then there's this sort of

really pretty long-haired boy in the group. Why have you sat forward like that? No, I'm just moving. It's almost like you've interested yourself. with where this conversation's going. Okay. You're like a paedophile. And then there's this really

pretty long-haired boy. It's just pretty long-haired boy, yeah? It's very Brent. I quite enjoyed it. But you watched it all. How many episodes? I think it's eight, I think. You've watched it all eight? Yeah.

Fucking hell, man. Yeah, okay. I was as well. Worth a spin, though. Yeah, I mean, yeah. Yeah. Anyway, so that is... Well, how have you been?

pre Cupcake Yeah really good Thank you Just still plodding away With the play Is it everything you dreamed It would be a more

Yeah I've really enjoyed it Have you itched the West End Or do you think You'll become like a West End I'm not going to become a West End I think it's in between those two So I'm not completely done with doing theatre

But I'm not now going to become a theatre guy No No No I can see But I can see myself Doing it in the future But you know

What sort of play Not any time What would be the next play that you'd like to do? What sort of thing? Like more dramatic. Yeah, I think I'd like to do a dramatic thing, yeah. Like, what's that one with the, all the salesmen, the famous one? All the salesmen?

Yeah, Glenn Gary, Glen Ross. Oh, that, yeah. You'd be sick at that. Didn't Bill Burr just do that? Yeah, he did that. But you'd be really good. Actually, as a part of Bill Burr did, I can imagine you doing that. You reckon.

Have you seen a film of it? I'd love to do it, like, a lot worse than Bill Burr. We're all doing a lot worse than Bill Burr. I watched Bill Burr and Ricky Javis recently. Bill Burr really went in on Ricky Jervais. Really? Yeah. Bill could go on anyone, couldn't be?

I saw him at Wimbledon and absolutely melted. That's why I get sort of nervous that if like, say for example, your dream came, not dream, that's an exaggeration dream came true. Your fantasy came true. Not fantasy, but like Bill Burr invites you on this podcast. The big fear is that he then, you get in his sights and then he decides to take you down. It's over. I don't think he'd do. I don't think you.

No, but I'm saying if he did. Of course. You're fucked. yeah but that is what you know that yeah you run the risk of all of us of that happening welcome to the romish rang Nathan podcast I'm here with Tom Davis

um Tom has uh well I've known Tom for a long time he's obviously room the wall for now yeah so Tom what is it you've you've come to talk to us about so you've got a number of projects on yeah my new tour uh your own show uh really excited

so I guess the question like I'm sort of obviously Tom I'm trying to ask questions that that fans of the show want answers. Yes, exactly, yeah. You're a comic actor. Yep. Why do you think you can just suddenly wander into stand-up and start doing a tour?

It's your second tour. It just feels a bit... I mean, there's an argument... I'm a stand-up, and like, just to see you kind of decide, you know, you've been in films and stuff like that, and that was cool. And then you've just decided, oh, I'm going to do stand-up now. When there's a big argument that you haven't really done the hard yards to be a stand. Oh, sorry.

Well, I'm... I'm glad you start with an apology, but go on. No, I actually did do stand-up before I became an actor. But you didn't really, you know what I mean, like you're, what you're doing, you're one of these guys that thinks they can just fucking have a go, everything, aren't you? I think that's sort of pretty hypocritical, actually.

How's your man? Well, you do everything. I think it's fair to say there's no stone left unturned when it comes to things that you've tried. Yeah, but I mean, okay, let's get into it. We've done a rap album, radio show, yeah. Quiz is acting, theater, yeah. Movies, animation.

Yeah. car shows. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. Podcasts. Yeah, I take that on board. Tattoos. What do you?

I'm not done tattoos. What does that mean? I saw you do a tattoo thing the other day. I thought it was really cool. Yeah, I had a tattoo done on me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So what does that mean? I don't know.

Anyway, why do you think you could do stand up? I think I'm a pretty funny guy. Okay, sorry. It's too horrible now. Yeah, no, but you're right there. I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, okay, is that the energy to burking? No, he was a bit like, okay, he was sort of like this. I saw you

Today I'm joined by one of the biggest dweeb's I've ever met. One of the biggest dwebes I've ever met. Romish Wrenganathan, hello, dweeb. Um, hello, prick You can't come back in, right? I'm on a podcast You do what you want If somebody's gonna be like that

Then you just come back at them, don't you? Jesus, Rom. Why do you, you make me love so much You're such a... Okay, welcome to the Philip report With me, Philip. Oh my God, we're starting again. Today, I'm joined by a comedian

Or so he says he's a comedian, Mr. Ramesh Ranganaathan. Okay, but do you get my fucking name right before you stop? Oh, sorry? Mr. Yeah, I've got your name right, Philip. So, Ramesh, when you started being a comedian,

did you think you were good at it, or did you know you were going to be shit at it? What makes you think I'm shit? Why do you think I'm shit at it? The guy's trying to roast you. I know, I'm responding. Okay. Stay in character.

I can't. Why do you think I'm shitter? You're so much better in this shit. I actually quite enjoy your stand-up if I'm going to be honest. Why do you? Well, I think it's probably better than your quiz questions. Well, obviously I don't write, you know how quiz works. No, if it was me, I'd write the questions myself.

I wouldn't peddle other people's theories. What are you? We ask about 100 questions to show. Well, I'd write them all myself. I wouldn't be a patsy, that's for sure. How am I a patsy? The job is to ask red-out questions. Can I tell you so, Philip?

Is that kind of arrogance where you think you're going to be able to write some questions better than a fucking team of quiz people whose days are devoted to it? Do you cut your own toenails, mate? Yes, I do. But that's not for... There's not a team of people to do it for you. No, but also I don't... But also, I don't TX my fucking toenail cutting on...

That's about the only thing you haven't put on TV. What's that supposed to mean? All the shows that you do. Well, listen, by the way, you're welcome for me shining a light on this piece of shit operation you got here. It's so shit, you won't even give out your surname. Because you're such a fucking unadulterated... Then finally, you get the opportunity to have actually a mainstream.

big deal name and you're fucking it Philip you're fucking it in the eyes I think it's better say you're quite well I think Bill Burr would be fuck with you I don't think he would I think he'd be better at it than Philip oh my god anyway it's quite horrible isn't it I wonder that's kind of comedy

that's part of me that's by the way that that meanness isn't really in me no you're not that type of guy you could do it I don't think you could man you are so No, I don't think so. Mate, I think you could, I find stuff too funny, but also. I think, first of all, I think you have to be quite good looking.

If you're sort of a bit ropey looking with a lazy eye, you've, but you're giving him so much ammo. Jeffrey Ross is hardly. Oh, no, that's true. He's one of the best in the game. He is good, yeah. But he's not, yeah, I wouldn't say he's attractive. I'd say you're more attractive than Jeffrey Ross. I would.

No, thank you. You can, quote me on that. Yeah. Anyway, that was fun, wasn't it? Yeah, it was. I've got a headache. Have you? Yeah,

free dot laughing. Actually, do you know what? I came in today. I wasn't in the most positive. Why not? I didn't feel like, I felt maybe, you know,

you just wake up some days. Number one, I had to fix two of the fucking handles on the doors of my house. Because the people who put the handle that, it's such a boring thing. But they put two,

they only put two screws out of four, so they keep falling off. So if I ever have, like, you know, twice up in the bathroom, I think I've talked about that way I've been locked in a bathroom not been able to get out of them. And if I go quickly out of the door

like earlier, me and Catherine were having like a sort of a row, but we were just and I sort of went out and I closed the door behind me and the handle came off and then she was locked in a room and looked like I'd locked her in there. Yeah, jobs are good and well done, I've got to teach her my lesson, and then I had to fix it while sort of apologised while she was stuck in the room?

Yeah, because there was no way of getting out. Tell me if you think this is unreasonable. So we've had this thing booked in for a while we were going out with some friends for like a sort of breakfast brunch. Sorry, why are you always going out of friends and never asked me to come out? Can I just say, let me finish this story. This is more, this is a circle of friends

in our new area. Catherine's got very friendly with. Okay, fine. I'm not necessarily as integrated. I'm sort of making, but I'm like you, I'm working on. So, she's like, we're all going to meet up, have a bit brunch. Okay. One of my Christmas gifts this year is I got the

DeSum book. recipe book. Yeah. And I've really enjoyed cooking some stuff for me. Good for you, man. Did you make gunpowder potatoes? Yeah, I did. How were they?

Incredible. Mustard greens? Yeah, beautiful. Yeah. Absolutely, yeah. Have you... Cholet? Huh?

No, no, no, no. So I sort of say to Catherine about, I'm looking forward to doing some of the more breakfast stuff in there, which is quite easy, whatever. She's then decided, as a tree, and almost as a sort of test for my cooking abilities, instead of us having a brunch out, she's like, I was going to invite, I've invited everyone around here.

I said, what do you mean? She was like, there's eight people going around and kids. When did she tell you this? She told me this, like this week, so it's happening this weekend. Like, there's eight people and their kids coming around, and I'm cooking them all, like, stuff in the tissue book for breakfast. I don't know if she's done it because I've been so enjoying doing it, or the fact that she just thinks it's quite a sweet.

She was like, if they come to the house, the kids have got somewhere to play rather than all being in a restaurant. So it just means that, you know, and you can just... And I was like, but then people are taking... I've got to take orders, like a waiter and then run into the kitchen. I get very anxious. I know what this is going. You are going to invite me.

Amazon presents Jeff versus Taco Truck Salsa. Whether it's Verde, Roja, or the orange one. For Jeff, trying any salsa is like playing Russian roulette with a flamethrower. Luckily, Jeff saved with Amazon and stocked up on antacids, ginger tea, and milk. Habaniero? More like habanier, yes. Save the everyday with Amazon. Okay, when I sell my business, I want the best tax and investment advice. I want to help my kids, and I want to give back to the community. Ooh, then it's the vacation of a lifetime.

Get financial advice that puts you at the centre. Find your advisor at IGPrivatewealth.com. I'd have you and Lisa over...

Welcome to Tom's. I'd have you and Lisa over in a heartbeat. Right. Because actually you're very polite guests. How difficult is it to make the Shim stuff? It's not difficult. It's just the different things that people are going to... If I was just doing everyone, like...

Why don't you just do everyone? No, no, because there's vegetarians coming. Say, for example, I was, like, I'd do like a nun with currant beans, egg, bacon or whatever, or, you know. Have you seen, by the way, have you had the Obogene bacon? No. Oh, my God. What's wrong with that? It's disgusting.

Obesim, by the way, is amazing. Shout out, Obesim, great with a bit of these. Yeah, big shout out to Obesgin. If you also like Obesim, Wolfel Pod at Gimba.com. I love this energy. This is like they were party wrong. There is. There is going to be a moment before the end of this.

You crash. I crush. And it's going to be fucking bad. Can I just say, I can it be. Can I just say, I know the rest of mine and John's afternoon is going to be. All right, guys. Do you think I went too far on that pod? I felt like my energy was a bit off.

Anyhow. So now I've basically said I can't do, I can't do this. You said you can't do it? I've got no faith in myself. And also, this is what I mean about you and Lisa being quite a guest. I think you and Lisa, two of the loveliest people. We've only had a few people around the house. Yeah, I find that hard to me.

You've got eight this weekend. Yeah, this is the biggest thing that we've had. And I'm cooking for everyone. The thought of people having to polite, it or not polite, are you angry with Catherine about this? I'm not angry. I'm just like, you've put me in a predicament now. Yeah, so how did you say it?

How did you say it? I said, I'm very anxious about this. No, but just to, okay, this is how I do it. Okay. You tell me what's happening. Darling. Yep. How are you?

You know I love you. By the way, this is, I don't. This is how Catherine does it. Hey, I was just thinking. Oh, right, okay, okay. Hey, Tom. I was just thinking. Tom?

Well, what did she call you? The babe, all right. By the way, she calls you babe. The look of disgust that I would say she's called you by your fucking name. Yeah, but Lisa call you Rommesh. She'll say Rom. She'll go, Rom. And then I don't go, I don't go,

rum! In my house, it's like... Okay, fine, fine, fine, fine. All right, Bobby, Bobby. Yeah. I just thought it would be nice because you've been enjoying doing your cooking from your little disham book.

Yep. I thought it'd be fun if we invited. You know there are four couples that we've made friends with in the area recently that you said that you much prefer to Rommish who you do the podcast with? You know that Rommish is my favourite person. I mean, if he comes around,

I'll give some cupcake. and see how that ends up. I thought they could all come around for breakfast on Sunday and you're doing more stuff from your edition book. What? Are you joking? Okay, you would never say that to it. No, genuinely.

Okay, fine. No, I'm not joking. I think it'd be nice because you like doing the dishes. There's a lot of pressure on me then to get things right. It's not pressure. You just do like a load of food and people pick and choose. Three of the eight people are foodies. I've seen them send food back in restaurants.

Hold on, can we just sit at the roper? So you've been out for them before. You made it out like these are new people that are inviting to get to know them. the area. But you've also been to dinner with them. Three of them. And not only that, you know enough about them that they're foodies. Now I'm starting to get fucked off. Yeah. Okay, carry on with the things. Okay, let's pretend.

Three of them are foodies and I've seen them send food back. I know, but they're not going to send food back when they're around someone's house. No, but what will happen is when they'll turn around and go, you raise your voice like that? Yeah, when I'm anxious. Yeah. When they leave, they're going to turn around and go, oh my God, those roles were disgusting. Oh God, what was you thinking?

They will not. We were having the disheum and I've loved it. Yeah, but you're really good at it. I don't have to say that. I don't have to say that. I thought a lot of the stuff you say, who you cook is shit. And I'll tell you when you smell.

Yep. And I tell you when you're like, you know, when you try it on and I don't want it because your penis is smelly sometimes. My breath. Yeah. Yeah.

My point is this. There's a lot of pressure when you're cooking for people that you don't know that well. But you know him really well, Tom. You know well, Tom. You know well enough to three of them

foodies and that they sent food back so you must know pretty well Oh my God Do you know what Your version of caffeine is so like

So yeah That was a thing Okay I'm very anxious So you were quite Firm with Lisa No No

I'd like She knows I get very anxious About those Right Right Right So you've pushed back I'm like

It just worries me The thought So what's happening now? I think they're still going around Oh fuck you know So it's pointless Then

No It's up in the air I still think We should go out to a restaurant because I think everything's fair game. Where's the nearest Disholm to you? I seem that you've got all of that shit on your fucking doorstep

because you live in one of the most affluent areas in the country. It's such a helmet. Do you know what I assume about your area is that there's a fucking Disham van that comes around every morning handing out bacon and egg nards? I can't live at Saho house. It's the one in London one. Soho one will be the places.

No. But there's a couple of nice little places you can go for a bit of brunch. Great. Yeah. So, yeah, I'd sooner do that than have the pressure on my shoulders. I don't back myself that much. I think it's nice cooking for family. I think it's nice that you cook, like,

that you take on ambitious, like, recipes like that. That's good. I love it. I love it about you. Okay, Tom, it's about that time, Maddieu. Take us out this motherfucker before I crash. Wow.

Flying high, friend. Flying high. I wonder who this is directed at. Truth about it is, it's a little bit like a... Oh, have you had a cup of? about an hour before me. I can't give up much of you.

Flying high, friend, flying high. Truth is, it's a little bit like a dandelion. So lately just sitting there, waiting for someone to come along or a gust of wind to strike you and feel like you're flowing through the air. Truth about flowing anywhere

is at some point you've got to come back down, friend. Lost balloon flying high from the fairground. Timmy's let it go, and as it flies up, he goes, will it ever come back? Will it ever come back? His mum hasn't got the heart to tell him. It'll come down. Probably not around here.

Hundreds of miles away. I heard about a bloom one time that flew from Australia to Timbuktu. Crazy speak. Crazy speak. But enjoy the times when you're floating. Truth is, the ground is hard. So for the time you can,

enjoy the clouds. Before you know it, you'll be treading those boards again. Okay. had the tone of a C-B-B-B story. But well done. Thank you so much for watching and listening to Wolf and Al. Wolf-Alphalpod.gimau.com.
