Expect killings, red spilling and flesh ripping
Impressive innit, the the death bringing it's head spinning

hello guess who's back, it's the wolf
and out and we're on attack
oh I've got Tom Davis
and Romesh too
and we're going to deliver a podcast
for you.
Here we go.
Podcast time.
I want to remember the place.
Did you write that before or did you?
No.
How tragic.
Even if I had written that before.
I still like the fact that I... Hold on, hold on, hold on.
What are you doing?
I'm just closing down
because I've got emails coming up in my top corner.
Oh, okay.
I like the fact that even right
after doing this podcast for nearly two years,
we still introduce it like it's a surprise that we've got coming up this way it is a surprise as fucking inconsistent as it is
it is i've got a swear less i've got a swear less yes we we put an instagram clip up it was a minute
long i said fucking six times what did you yeah yeah I looked in the reviews and someone said about my swearing.
So, do you know, actually, back, I mean, doing stand-up again,
I'm really worried about how much I swear on stage.
I'm really worried.
Yeah.
I just did a special.
I just did a special.
Yeah.
Thank you to everybody that came out for the special, guys,
at the Hawthorne Crawley.
It was a hell of a time.
I'm sounding like I'm being sarcastic.
It was a hell of a time.
Was it vibey?
Proper vibey, man.
Yeah.
I knew it was going to be exciting to do it in Crawley.
And the Hawthors never had like a special, you know, like.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course.
It was a cool thing to do in your hometown.
And it was wicked, man.
They delivered.
The audiences delivered.
Wait, sorry.
A couple of people tried to join in, despite that.
What are you doing?
What's going on now?
Nothing, nothing. my quick timer just disappeared
go on, go on, go on
and then what are you fiddling with now
I've got three lids
it's part of my ADHD
I always fiddle with stuff
is that prescribed to you
what are these three lids
no, but like to fiddle with something
I didn't go to the doctor
is the idea
is the idea that you start with three lids and you work down to two and then one and
eventually you don't need a lid well i just play with my fingers
um so were people trying to join in and get stuck in then well a couple of people were and then i
had to say to them look okay there's no way the production are gonna be bothered to get release
forms to to get you in this thing so just shut the fuck up basically i said it in a nice way no i said it in a nice way
but yeah um anyway the reason i mentioned it is not just i've become conscious god i'm all over
the place here but i've become conscious recently that i and you can tell me honestly if i do do
this steer the conversation onto myself too much i'm not talking about on the podcast because
obviously we have to talk about oh we'd like to be terrible for it
go on let's just do you want to just do you want to just do that i think that's harsh on me
no no you know you're you're i think you're a guy who you always chat about other people
you're you listen to other people i who you always chat about other people.
You listen to other people.
I think you concern yourself with other people's problems.
You're a good man.
Who's made this accusation?
Nobody.
I've been on the phone the last few times I've been on the phone or chatting to people.
I've caught myself listening to something they say,
and then I've gone, oh, that reminds me.
I've become like the band camp girl from american pie just so that reminds me this one time at the at the glee i did this thing
and it's barely got anything to do what we're talking about why don't you be in the moment
and listen to what they're saying instead of looking for something you know when you're in
a conversation yeah it often happens with blokes and you can tell it's just a group of blokes
waiting for a story to finish so that they can do their one that they've been waiting to drop that's pretty much why i got into stand-up
yeah because nobody you're not having to listen to anybody else you can just tell your own stories
like on a building site that's pretty much what a whole day was and it was always it would always
regress to sort of someone talking about fighting yeah fighting or some sort of like lewd story about a woman that they've met
or a deal that they've got
I mean we fall into that trap a couple of times
here where James had to edit it out
because you and me just started talking about different times
we fucking laid the smackdown on somebody
so he's squared up to me and I've gone
like it's obviously like going for this
like the knockout with the right hand.
And I'm just like, obviously, I ain't going to let you do that, mate.
So I just swept back.
I've pulled my arm back about half a mile.
And I've just laid this geezer straight out.
Straight out, bro.
And then one of my mates just stood there going like,
I didn't know you had that in you.
And I just said to him,
I guess you didn't know me as well as you thought you did.
And then we just walked away.
And then everyone in the pub
picked me up onto their shoulders
and walked me around the high street
and just shouting, Tyson,
Tyson. Now you know me,
Tyson's not my name.
My name's Kevin.
And the next day I'm in Sainsbury's and there's some
geezer just comes up to me and goes, oh, it's the king
of Wetherspoons. I go, what mate? I'm in Sainsbury's, and there's some geezer. He just comes up to me and goes, Oh, it's the King of Weatherspoons. I go, What, mate?
I'm in Sainsbury's, right?
I'm just buying exotic food, though.
I'm just picking out some tortillas, right?
A little bit of guacamole, just to go on.
And this geezer went,
Are you Kevin, that everyone's calling Tyson,
that weighed those 18 blokes in last night?
I said, To hold old your nose there was 15
of them and i hospitalized each one isn't it weird like that sort of world of just i
that was just literally all everyone spoke about when i was a young man yeah same same man it's
mad and sometimes i'll be out with my friends i met all your friends by the way there's a couple
i straight away could pick out and go, yeah, that's that guy in this group.
There's a couple of them
that like,
they will start reminiscing
about fights.
Yeah.
I mean,
and then you've got to go,
guys,
we're in our 40s.
Yeah.
You've been retired longer
than you've been in the game.
I need to,
I need to stop talking about this.
Anyway, how did your stand-up go, Maju?
Good, bro.
Shout-out.
Nottingham and Birmingham.
Two great cities.
You did the Glees, right?
Yeah, I did the Glees.
Birmingham.
Wicked.
I'll shout-out.
We did a podcast subsequently after Birmingham.
We talked about Foodgate, Buffetgate.
Nottingham. Can I just say, Nottingham, by the way,
food-wise, you finish a gig at like,
I got out there at like 10.30, nothing was open on a Thursday.
Nothing.
It was a poor show.
I normally go Subway, but Glee's a little bit out of town, isn't it?
Yeah.
Or is it?
Yeah.
No, no, no.
Isn't there a Hooters near there?
Yeah, I'm not going to Hooters. Hooters near that yeah I'm not going to Hooters Hooters is
Hooters is the place that
me and you were both in
that's the sad point of our life
is when me and you were touring around in our fucking 60s
like we're playing Hooters
just like flow going to us
it turns out
years and years
the audience has gradually been dwindled
and now it's boiled down to that sort of audience that go to Hooters.
Truck drivers.
You meet 40 blokes.
I tell one of your fighting stories, Ramesh.
So what happens outside the punch bowl?
Do that one.
Just people throwing out requests for old stories you've done
because none of the new gear is any good.
Oi, Tom, what about that time when you ate potpourri?
Do that one.
Oh, don't, guys.
Can't even remember it now because obviously, yeah.
Just fucking busting it out like Coldplay being requested yellow.
That's the only drama.
When you're in a band, you just bring out songs like and then just
play them for the rest of your life like chisney hawk still earns a decent little bit of money
he doesn't get that one and only shit yeah yeah i wonder if like you know obviously when you do
stand-up you're doing the same gear across the tour and then you get bored of it and write new
shit or sometimes you write new shit during the tour but like i always i don't know why i've
managed to get myself into
a mindset where i feel like i'm saying it for the first time every time i say it
can you do that i never used to be able to but now i do yeah should i tell you that it's not a secret
i think this is what i do i deliberately engage with the material as little this is so boring
isn't it but i deliberately engage with the show as little as possible so
when i started i used to like read it over read it over or think about it and blah blah
and then what would happen is you get to a point where you were just reciting it whereas now
i almost do the opposite i almost try and forget it really they're just yeah yeah because in the
last like like going back and gigging loads i've at first i was so like when me with me
to those gigs,
I was meticulously looking over everything time and time.
And then just having done more recently,
I'm just a bit like,
well,
actually like I know what it is.
And actually it's quite nice opening yourself up just as finding other little
bits.
Yeah.
And,
and it just,
it just makes you,
it just puts you in the room a bit more.
Cause you get guys,
right.
Who can do the same.
I haven't gigged now as well. I've been back gigging with different comics and you see them watch
some people and they just do the same thing right and there's a skill to that like boom boom boom
like literally like and having watched you yourself a lot you're not kind of that guy you
you're i guess a bit more like myself i'm always open just to if you find something else in the
moment just a bit looser yeah yeah but like watching i'm like how the fuck can you do it yeah i think it depends on the comic
because like you and me are like i don't mean this in a bad way all over the shop yeah do you
mean in terms of like you're talking around it and you know sometimes a bit will be just different
from one day to the next or whatever. But like those guys,
they've written it with metronome precision.
So they,
so they,
it's a different way of doing it.
It's not,
it's not,
I don't think it's bad. I don't think it's like a bad way of doing it,
but my worry with that is number one,
like how my head works is never,
like,
I don't think I've ever in all the acting work I've done and everything,
I don't think I've ever delivered the same line exactly the same way twice.
No, I know it's absolutely infuriating on King Gary.
I don't even know what my fucking cue is.
But it's like when I watch you, right?
I've seen you try out new stuff.
I've seen you when you've got a bit,
but there's something that's really electric about watching yourself.
And then you go in,
oh, if that bit doesn't land, it always lands.
You're like a bit like,
actually, you know what,
I've got enough freedom in what I'm doing
to fuck about enough to make it land here.
It's a phrase.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
My thing is sometimes when I watch people
who are like really well-oiled,
and like I say,
some of my favourite comedians are those people,
but then if that bit doesn't land and that doesn't, like,
how do you just literally just march on to the next bit
and the next bit and the next bit?
Yeah, well, I mean, I think it depends, bro.
Like, you know, sometimes when you're having a tough one in the room,
I know you shouldn't say this, but sometimes it is just the room.
You know what I mean?
And so sometimes you go, this room is gettable but it's
hard yeah right so you've got to put a shift in basically and sometimes the room is hard and it's
not gettable and then if that's the case you just got to do the best you can and and recalibrate
what your expectations are i hope this isn't boring for people that don't do comedy but anyway
no that's that's kind of my approach but um it's exciting
man like you're going to be when are you going on tour uh we like to even talk about it i think i
mean yeah i mean flo might shout me after but i think uh looking at autumn next year i think
we're doing a small like work in progress tour oh my god early stand-up comedy in this country
does not know what's about to come running through like a goddamn juggernaut. Oh my days.
It's going to be so sick.
I'm so excited for you, man. I'm so excited for you.
I always feel like you're Apollo Creed
and I'm Rocky.
I'm learning so much from you.
Apollo dies quite early on in the series, yeah?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hopefully,
I mean, hopefully you lift
to see me lift the title.
Yeah, I reckon I've got 10 years and then I'm gone.
I'm quite comfortable with that.
I'll tell you what, mate, I reckon you've added at least another 10 years
on how healthy and sweet you look now.
You look fucking so good, bro.
You put a picture up on there.
That sandbags picture of you, you look so good, bro.
Thank you very much for saying that.
I actually, you've reminded me that I need to issue an apology
to our listeners because I took –
we did League of Their Own and Aaron Ramsdale was on, right?
Who I love.
Yeah, yeah.
Took a photo with him afterwards and then I saw the photo
and I didn't want to put it up because I didn't like how I looked.
And then eventually I thought, but I've got a photo with Aaron Ramsdale and I love him.
And I think people like that photo.
So I put it up on Instagram and then I put, I nearly wasn't going to put up this photo
because I hate everything about how I look in the photo.
And just to qualify what I've got a problem with, I just think I look, I've got a funny face on.
I'm tired after the show the rucksack
is pulling my t-shirt over my body a little bit so it's it's sort of being a you can sort of see
the silhouette of homer simpson's head sort of in my top half so i just didn't like it and then loads
of people you know what i was slightly embarrassed it's very sweet but loads of people want you look
great you look great i don't know what you're talking about. And then I became aware of the fact that
it looked like I was fishing for that. But
my instinct always on those sort of things is to
be honest, and that was my honest feeling.
I did exactly the same thing this week.
I've done exactly the same.
So I played the golf tournament we talked
about.
The big tourney.
Put a lovely video together.
Like, literally put a lovely video together like literally
he's put a
great video
together of me
hitting a few
good shots
that I hit
all I could
look at is
I'm in a
really tight
t-shirt and
I look like
a fucking
big old pair
of titties
like it's
I literally
just looked at
that right
and then I
put up
excuse the
moves or
whatever
but I'm not
doing that
fishing for
golf
genuinely all I could see in that video wasn't like the fact I was probably excuse the moves or whatever and like but that i'm not doing that fishing forgot like genuinely
all i could see in that video wasn't like the fact i was probably playing like looking like
i was playing the best golf i'd ever played all i could think was why did no one fucking tell me
that i had like essentially like i look like i look like i was i was peacocking if I wanted to show off the fact I had big tits.
That's what I look like.
I've gone,
actually,
let's go down two sizes so I can really get my moves in.
That's what I look like.
But no one told me.
But the thing is,
is that you look great.
Do you know what I mean?
You always look great.
But the thing is,
is that,
you know,
I felt exactly the same.
I felt like I looked like I was fishing.
And a few people messaged me to say, like, quite firmly,
you need to stop talking yourself down.
And I do get that.
And obviously we both are guilty of that.
But at the same time, that is kind of how I felt.
Do you know what I mean?
So you kind of…
But you know now you look really good, right?
Well, look, I'm happy that what I've done has made a difference.
I was aiming to lose weight, and I've lost a bit of weight, right?
Yeah.
But you still, you know, the truth is, you know when you read all these things
and people go, losing weight won't make you happy?
That is true.
Because you just find a new thing to agonise about.
Yeah, of course.
So I guess what I'm saying is, there's something that needs to happen
in your head head isn't there
you know like
when I used to watch
when I used to watch
Gok Wan
I used to get so frustrated
also can I just shout out
I've given him some shit
on this podcast before
yeah you have
please go back to doing
clothes and stuff
well what's wrong
well because he's doing
cooking and he's doing
oh sorry I thought
you were about to do
an apology
but you had to give him
more shit
no no no no no
I apologise
he's a fucking G
when he's talking about
that sort of stuff when he's talking about that sort of stuff.
When he's talking about
what to wear for your
body type and all that.
It just feels like
he's walked away
from that vibe.
It's like he's a
footballer who's just
decided to play
the new position.
He's diversifying.
Why are you trying
to put him in a box, bro?
I'm not.
I'm just saying
he's the best at doing that.
He was better in
Trinny and Suzanne
for definite.
Oh my God.
Why have you put
the boot in on them now?
But you know when
he used to, at the end, go,
he just showed them naked again.
And I just thought, hold on a minute.
What are you doing?
What a cop-out.
And then now I realise actually he's right.
You've got to fix something, haven't you?
Yeah, of course.
I mean, my aim is not to look in a mirror naked and be happy.
But also, just to quickly say, right,
it should be about being healthy.
just to quickly say,
right,
it should be about being healthy
and,
like,
I look at,
like,
when I,
even when I,
like,
even when I lost a lot of weight,
I don't think I was particularly healthy,
like,
when Grace was first born.
You have lost weight,
haven't you?
Yeah,
yeah,
but when Grace was first born,
I lost a shit ton of weight,
but I don't know quite how healthy
I was with that.
I wasn't eating particularly well.
At the moment,
I'm eating better.
I'm,
my balance of life now,
because I'm having a bit more of, like, ever getting out having a night at night out here and there
my balance of life is better at one point i was too consumed with not drinking not going out not
doing anything just fucking staying in and yeah one of the things i didn't realize and one of the
things that's the difference with the how by the way i'm fully aware that next week i'll probably be i'll probably put it back all on so i'm not saying that i've i've cracked it but i would say
the difference i've had this time is realizing there's no such thing as like forbidden foods
like like you you know like as long as you're watching how much you're taking in generally
yeah you can have four or five beers but you could still be on a low calorie diet and have a night
out do you mean it's like i didn't realize that before before i was like i'm not going to drink i'm not going to eat anything
enjoyable i'm just going to fuck it and like and that's why you that's why i ended up like
like falling off or whatever whereas now like yesterday i'd like i thought we had too many
beers but i had a few beers but it wasn't seven i did have seven actually how did you know that
i'm just good at i can see in your eyes.
Can we...
Look, I don't want to advocate alcohol consumption, okay?
But, like, I went away, as you know,
went away to Jersey and drank a lot of gin and tonic.
Yeah, yeah.
Because gin and tonics are low alcohol, right?
Not low alcohol, sorry.
Low calories.
Low calorie, right?
So I thought that's the safest...
Not safest option.
That's the best option because I intend to be drinking quite a few of them and i got pissed like i'm talking
about embarrassingly pissed like i think we talked about this falling over in the hotel bedroom at
the end of the night piss yeah beer that's about four to five percent the speed the the pace at
which you get drunk i think is perfect. I think it's absolutely perfect.
Do you know what I mean?
Mate, lovely ice-cold beer on a hot day.
It's the thing of beauty, man.
It's delightful.
My thing is I just don't have the willpower to...
Once that first amber nectar sort of touches my lips,
then I really struggle to go right in.
That's where my problem is.
I will go...
The problem with getting drunk is you get to a sweet spot
and then you go past it and and i've i'm yet to manage to figure out how to stay in that sweet
spot i can't do it really i think probably what you need to do is you the alcohol hasn't fully
kicked in yet so what you need to do is slow down a little bit to just keep yourself at that level
but what i do is i hit a sweet spot for about i would say 30 35 minutes and then beyond that i'm not listening to what anybody says and i think i'm
the most charming person in the pub it's embarrassing you are charming drunk but then you you do what i
do you get really charming and really sweet and then something derails you and then you just get
really quiet i mean i'll be i'll be in the conversation just texting you even though we're
in the same room just was that okay what i said? I always think he's a bit like
Forrest Gump
with the running
how do you mean?
well he
he didn't have to run
the whole of America
yeah I think he bit off more
than he could chew
well he chewed it though
didn't he
didn't he do it?
yeah he chewed it
but I just think
there's probably a point
where he went
actually I'll probably run
far enough here
I don't need to run
all over America
I've got
also I always think
with that film
actually that could have been
the sequel
wouldn't they just rush through that bit what kind of a sequel? him running across America all over America. Also, I was thinking about that film. Actually, that could have been the sequel.
Wouldn't they just rush through that bit?
What kind of sequel?
Him running across America.
Who the fuck wants to watch a film about a guy running across America?
What are you talking about?
The different wacky characters he met.
I was like, this is some of the most interesting stuff
in his life.
Did I tell you?
I wouldn't go to watch that.
If I heard the sequel was Forrest Gump on a run,
no thank you.
Did I ever tell you about what my dad said? I am out. No, go on. We sequel was Forrest Gump on a run, no thank you. Did I ever tell you about what my dad said about Forrest Gump?
No, go on.
We were watching Forrest Gump
and he went,
about halfway through, three quarters of the way through,
he went, I can't watch this fucking shit.
And I went, what's wrong? And he went,
well, he's a bloody liar. I've never heard of him.
I've never heard murdered this fella if she'd done all this amazing stuff
you'd have murdered me
wouldn't you
but
oh dear
I like the thought that
he was real
but he's just there
but I think the run
could have been interesting
like a little bit
like throw a little romantic
edge to it
yeah like this
this woman
keeps driving ahead to spots to see him and stuff like that yeah yeah yeah and then they kiss on
like the sort of i don't know like what's the big mountain bit called near las vegas
i don't want to give away my ignorance here by guessing grand canyon if if he gets to the grand
canyon she's there and he's like oh my god i didn't think you'd be here she's like i've always
loved you kind of thing yeah i mean obviously yeah, I didn't think you'd be here. She's like, I've always loved you
kind of thing.
Yeah.
Yeah,
it'd be really sweet.
It'd be really sweet.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You should,
you should knock it up.
Picture Tom,
see what he says.
Forrest Gump,
The Running Years.
Tom Hanks is a great guy,
right?
Oh yeah,
he's amazing.
He's a really good guy.
There must be something,
there must be something
wrong with him.
No,
I just think he's a really decent human being.
I think actually he's the sweetest of sorts.
No, I think he is. You can't be.
What's your thoughts on
Mahogany?
Mahogany?
What's your thoughts on him?
What's my thoughts on him? What's happened with him?
I don't know, just in general.
I find him quite inspirational.
No, I like him. I've been listening to his book. I find him quite inspirational. No, I like him.
I've been listening to his book.
But it's great.
Okay.
So you're a big fan.
Go on, talk me through this.
No, no, no.
I like you.
No, I'm just saying,
if I was in a situation like Captain Phillips
and I could save Tom Hanks or Matthew McConaughey,
I'd definitely save Tom Hanks.
Interesting.
It's a very convoluted way of insulting somebody.
No, it's not.
I would save Tom Hanks over you.
I would save Tom Hanks over some members of my family.
Yeah, yeah.
Mate, I would probably say, I don't know,
between you and Matthew McConaughey,
I would be like, that would be a difficult situation.
Okay, fine.
So then what would you do?
Would you ask us to pitch you sort of reasons
why we want you to save us?
Well, no, I'd just say,
Matthew, would you be around to do a podcast once pitch you sort of reasons why we want you to show up? Well, no, I'd just say, Matthew, would you be around
to do a podcast once a week?
I'll be honest with you,
if it was me and Matthew McConaughey,
I would tell you to save Matthew McConaughey.
Yeah, but...
I would say...
My problem with Matthew McConaughey, right,
is he's so fucking handsome
and he's so fucking cool.
He was never not...
Why is that bad?
Well, he's just never not going to be a superstar.
Like, in anything he'd done,
if Matthew McConaughey had played American football,
baseball, soccer, whatever he'd have done, right,
he'd have been a superstar.
If he'd decided to do a country music...
Like, he's just got that thing.
But Tom Hanks has done it despite...
Like, Tom Hanks has just got that...
He's very normal, Tom Hanks,
and he's still got to that fucking level.
OK, but Matthew McConaughey was doing loads of shit films,
right? And then one day...
Some of those films are actually better than people give them credit for.
Sure, sure. But let's say,
let's just, for the purposes of
simplification, he had a run of
kind of like, what would you describe
them as? Sort of low-rent films, right?
Yeah, but they were still quite...
They were still money... They're were still money they're still enjoyable
they're still enjoyable
how to lose a guy
in 10 days
great film
not great film
good film
I think it's a really
good film
it's not
yeah okay
we've already
you've gone down
a level
so you agree with me
it's a good film
yeah
yeah
but like
there's a part of me
that thinks that's a part
of his mad genius
well it's made him
look like the comeback kid, hasn't it?
Also.
Because people talk about how he saved his career.
He did have a consistent Hollywood career.
So his early phase, right, his early phase,
where he was supposedly phoning in and coasting,
is way beyond anything I will ever achieve in my career.
That's the thing.
That's what I'm saying, though.
Yeah.
So why do you hate him him I don't hate him
I find him
you just think the cars
are too
you think the cars
are too heavily stacked
in his favour
is that what you're saying
yeah I just think
when I look at certain people
I go
fucking hell man
that's incredible
that you've got
like Tom Hanks
to be the best actor
but when you look at Tom Hanks
if I brought Tom Hanks
to the pub
and you had no idea who he was
and I just brought him in
and I said this is my mate Hanks
he's like
I imagine he'd love that by the way
he's a plumber
and he just stood there and chatted to us
you'd go fucking hell
he's a nice fella
like me and the Swan have got some fucking problems
indoors with the fucking plumbing is he around? Like me and the Swan have got some fucking problems indoors
with the fucking plumbing.
Is he all right to come around and do it?
I'll be like, yeah, yeah.
And Hanksie will come around.
You'll enjoy his company, right?
Yeah.
And then Lisa would say, a bit of a situation.
Hanksie laid some pipe down in some places
that maybe you shouldn't have done.
And then I'd have a chat with Hanks about it,
and I'd be like, do you know what?
Fair play to the fella.
He's a nice player.
I think she's better off with him.
By the way, I think you beat Tom Hanks in a fight.
I don't think I would.
I'm really...
My fight mentality is pretty bad.
Yeah, but then to stretch on the other side,
I walk in with Matthew McConaughey, right?
Walk into the barbecue.
I'd hate him. Yeah, exactly. Right? And if I went... on the other side. I walk in with Matthew McConaughey, right? Walk into the pub and get there.
I'd hate him.
Yeah, exactly.
Right?
And if I went,
oh, this is Matthew McConaughey,
he's a plumber,
you'd go,
fucking hell,
he's not a plumber.
There's no way.
Yeah.
He's just,
he's got everything.
Imagine the number of jobs Matthew McConaughey
would be getting action on.
I think he'd earn more money
out of being a plumber
than he would,
like, just because everyone would, he'd be back to back to back yeah he'd be doing people just just people would be deliberately blocking their toilet so that matthew mcconaughey
come around yeah yeah just fucking just in a pair of like stonewashed denim jeans yeah can you wear
that tight t-shirt again when you come and he would always wear that tight t-shirt and also
and like he's probably got my favorite ever oscar winning speech which one was that at the end of it when he just turns around he says about chasing yourself
that's the person he looks up to of course it is who else is he going to look up to it's not
anyone on the universe making mcconnell he's going to look at and go oh he's better than me
so himself for somebody that doesn't like him you really have bigged him up for the
i don't like him i'm just saying the odds are all stacked in his favour you said you'd want him to die if you were
on a boat with him
and Tom Hanks
yeah but fucking hell
Tom Hanks for me
is like just
I think Tom Hanks
is everything
well do you know
in defence of
Matthew McConaughey
there's a good chance
he's probably got
his best film ahead of him
I'd argue that
Tom Hanks hasn't
really
well I tell you what
if we can sit
in years to come
and I can go
Woody from Toy Story
big
Rotor of Addition
you know what I mean
bang and splash
yeah
yeah all done
Matthew McConaughey
is
I don't think he's
I don't know
I think he's got his best
two films in his locker already
you reckon
did you watch Interstellar
is that Matthew McConaughey
isn't that Matt Damon
no
Interstellar
I don't know
do you know who's best
film Wolf of Wall Street
never watched it you've never watched Wolf of Wall Street never watched it
you've never watched
Wolf of Wall Street
no
you are fucking joking
what are you doing
what a terrible joke
that would be by the way
um
uh
Interstellar
hold on
Inter
I don't think anything
about Interstellar
is going to be as interesting
as the fact you've not
watched Wolf of Wall Street
2014
Matthew McConaughey Anne Hathaway yeah Michael Caine about Interstellar is going to be as interesting as the fact you've not watched Wolf of Wall Street. 2014, Matthew
McConaughey, Anne
Hathaway, Michael
Caine.
Oh yeah, Michael
Caine's in it.
Right, right.
That's probably
one of his worst
films, Interstellar,
right?
The ending was
fucking insane.
I mean, Jesus.
How have you not
watched Wolf of
Wall Street?
You sit with your
feet up and fucking
picking your toe
and I was talking
about fucking
Marvel films and
giving it all the
big fucking Barry Norman about
all these geeky
fucking Star Wars
you've not even
watched War for
Wall Street
I've literally
I feel embarrassed
sometimes when we're
talking and you
were talking about
films I actually
know I shouldn't
probably fucking
throw my fucking
big stupid face
into this fucking
argument and you've
not even watched
War for Wall Street
it's like it's
insane it's like
saying I've never
seen The Godfather I don't think it's quite like saying you've never seen The Godfather it's like it's insane it's like saying I've never seen The Godfather
I don't think
it's quite like saying
you've never seen
The Godfather
it's not far away
is Wolf of Wall Street
really that good
mate it's an
exceptional
okay look
I'll tell you that
I'll tell you this
I'll tell you this
I'm going to watch it today
at least you'll be furious
because it's supposed to be
packing for the holiday
but I am going to
I'm going to say to her
no
why don't you just
put it on your iPad
and watch it on the flight
turn it off alright I'll do that chill to her no why don't you just put it on your iPad and watch it on the flight turn it off
alright alright
I'll do that
chill pal
I'll tell you what
Theo would love it
Theo would love
Wolf of Wall Street
mate
how old is he now
40
12
oh actually maybe
he's a bit young
yeah
my god
that kid man
he's got himself
the freshest haircut
I'm so jealous
really
he looks unreal
what's he like
oh god
people talk about
being envious of your sons,
because they've got their youth ahead of them and all that.
He came back with his haircut.
He's got it all curly on the top and faded around the sides and back.
He just looks like a little bad man ting.
Yeah, good for him, man.
Really, for the holiday?
I'd love to look like that.
Could be his first holiday romance this year.
Yeah, it could be, I suppose.
He really hates me talking about anything like that. be his first holiday romance this year um yeah it could be i suppose he really he really hates me talking about anything like that oh really yeah if i ask him any questions yeah
you've got a cool dad it man you got a cool dad it what do you mean how does that mean what does
that mean we'll put your sunglasses on right what in the house when i'm talking to him about it
go into his room just i think i i think he i think it's... Break out the old leather jacket.
You know when
somebody tried to manage a football
team, a
Premier League football team, and they walk in on the first day
and the team know that this guy
has never even played at Sunday League level.
That's what I think Theo
would feel about me trying to advise him about relationships
with women and stuff like that.
What the fuck
have you got to tell me
about relationships? Bear in mind,
I see evidence every day that mum's
settled.
You just hear him at the end of the bed and he's just thinking
like, allow it, mate. Fucking shake your
big fat mouth.
Yeah, so
no, basically, just play it cool. you gotta be a gentleman if they text you
text straight back as soon as possible you need to let them know you're available whenever they
need you you know whatever they make sure the first thing you do is just buy them loads of
presents so they know that you're financially stable and then sometimes sometimes they'll want
to see other guys and and some people would say to you
no that's a deal breaker what i would say is let them fly and then when they see when they see
what a wonderful and generous spirit you are they'll come back and sometimes it will take
them five or six guys to discover that obviously so you sit back and you play the long game once
you've got three young sons and you know obviously, obviously you're boring the life out of their mother.

There's no one else.
Oh, fine.
There's just three of us.
But the whole of my fucking...
This room stinks of smoke still.
Yeah.
I've got a house issue.
And this is quite a...
You're going to rip it out of me for this.
Go, go, go.
I basically...
When we moved into the house,
I asked for a lit wall at the back of the at the back of the office yeah i put in my trainers and
shit and they gave me to activate and deactivate that light uh a remote um which i have now lost
oh you're joking and the light is on and this room that i'm sitting in now is currently i would say
rough estimate 45 45 degrees.
I don't know what the fuck to do.
I'm actually contemplating smashing it.
What am I going to do, man?
I have to break it.
You're going to have to break the light.
You know what to do is get...
Who's the worst footballer out of your three sons?
Who's the worst?
You don't need to say.
Just get one of them to come in, give them a football
and then just let them kick
at some point
they'll hit the light
with the ball
I mean that feels like
quite a long thing
to wait for
or just say
that Reggie did it
what am I saying
do you want to come
and play
do you want to come
and play football
in my office
yeah yeah
just
no no
just have a
mate
if you have a football
in your office
just sitting in the
middle of the room
there's no
no one who can resist
just kicking it
that's just like that's just the laws of average right so just let them out yeah just
basically get yeah put the ball there they'll come in one of them will kick it smash it's a light you
can then just be like empowered and be like what the fuck oh fuck's sake then you order another
like or you could just call the company you put it in and see if they've got a replacement uh tom
yeah sorry i'm slightly distracted because I was about to say,
should we do some emails?
We've literally just had an email come in.
Wow.
And I got excited because I'm going to start with this email.
It's literally just hot off the press.
What happens?
Hot off the press.
Oh, wow, wow, wow.
And it's about you.
Oh, no.
This is from the Sad Koala.
It says, hi, Wolf and Al. You'll see why I kind of got distracted in a sec. and it's about you it's about you oh no this is from the sad koala it says hi wolf and al
you'll see why
I kind of got distracted
in a sec
hi wolf and al
not a question
but more of a massive
thank you
especially to the wolf
I came to see you
at the Birmingham Glee Club
a few weeks ago
and it was the same day
that myself and my boyfriend
broke up
was meant to go with him
and I nearly didn't attend
I had a panic attack
in TK Maxx
just before the gig started
but I pulled myself together because I wanted to see the wolf live for a while now i laughed the
whole time and it cheered me up no end and i just wanted to say thank you so much amazing to hear
oh wow that's so nice isn't that lovely that's a lovely email that's a very thank you sad koala
you've really you started off this email section beautifully and i hope that one day you write in and it's from the happy koala
and you yeah you know it makes me sad to think of you being sad mate so i hope everything fixes up
yeah me too um actually just to shout out as well like it is quite a i i was because i it's a weird
thing right me and you just cobbled together an hour every every week of this podcast where we just i would say i would say
cobbling together is an exaggeration of what goes into this podcast no but like and we enjoy doing
it i love doing it it's one of my favorite things to do but i i it like the people who came to
nottingham and birmingham and and mentioned and talked about this podcast
is generally, I find it very
lovely and there was a gentleman
who came to the
show in Nottingham and
sort of spoke to me about some of the
issues he's had and the things he's been through
and what the podcast meant to him
and I genuinely like, it's lovely to hear that
stuff, so it's like mad
that people, yeah. it's really lovely although
i did get a text message from ed gamble the other day really so what well you know he listens to the
podcast yeah so he said he texts me let me have a look at this i'm going to read it to exactly
right it's not long oh here we go uh just listening to the, just heard about the arse pebble. You lost a listener today.
I hope not. I love it.
So there you go.
Yeah, Seaweedgate has slipped into their podcast as well.
I don't think they knew about seaweed either.
They didn't know about seaweed being crispy cabbage?
No, I don't think so.
That's the wrong
translation from
from the
Twitter feed
of people
anyway sorry
I forgot to say
thank you
Sad Koala
for your email
thank you to the
people at BigDot
and also
Ed Gamble
I hope you're back
and I hope you're listening
yeah
and at the end of the special
somebody shouted out
go on meow
oh wow
so you know
which was annoying
because I'm you know
I'm taping a thing but anyway I hope they know if that's recorded yeah yeah let's hope so
this is from another koala wow kim the kim the koala two koalas she says hello swan owl and
wolf firstly you do not need to keep me anonymous it's all good secondly my situation my brother is
soon to be married we're having many parties and events over the course of a week one of which will be at home
where parking is somewhat limited and we'll be having a marquee in the garden with many people
attending my worry is the noise we'd be causing over the years we've always been relatively
peaceful neighbors and caused little trouble but this cannot be avoided at this event i've
considered i've been considering visiting neighbors to let them know there'll be disruption at ours
for the night and across the week i was guessing a bottle of wine or some small
i'm trying to put a bit of drama yeah you're also making kim who sounds really amazing and
lovely making it sound a bit annoying that voice you do it i was guessing uh a bottle of wine or
some small gift may help to keep neighbours relatively happy,
but not sure if it's over the top or if it's a standard preparation before house parties.
So this is where I was hoping you could help advise.
Would it be courteous of gifting our neighbours?
Should I just pop over and explain what's happening and leave it at that?
Thank you for continuously keeping a smile on my face when I hear the pods.
Keep well and sending all my love.
Yo, the koala, my girl. Let me just say this straight off you sound like an incredible neighbor uh you sound like the sort of person
that is the foundation of any great street uh across the world across the globe um and i think
you've got the right inclination i think letting neighbors know is the most important thing i think
it's that little rattle on the door don Don't go around, don't fly that shit.
Don't fly that shit.
Pop round, little rattle on the door, little knock.
And you know what?
A nice bottle of wine or if they've got kids, some sweets.
Or maybe you've got a four-pack of Carling or something.
Just drop it around, a little gift for all your closest neighbours. maybe you've got like i don't know like a four pack of carling or something just dropping around
a little gift for all your closest neighbors and um yeah i think that's just a sweet sweet idea
that you could be doing so uh yeah and i think it's also i mean i i think i mean it depends
because obviously it's your brother's wedding so you've got to be careful but i think sometimes
saying look pop your head in put your put your head in yeah yeah have a little you know if you're
fancy little nose meet some you some I could imagine your friends
are amazing people
family are amazing
so yeah
just sort of
not have an open house
but yeah
I think integrating the neighbours
into your world
is quite a sweet thing
yeah I agree
I agree
Kim the Koala
it's wonderful
that you've even thought about this
that shows that you're a nice person
so
I would totally agree with tom um
i think a bottle of wine's a nice idea and then also you know in a selfish way if they accept the
wine it means they can't really complain after that you know you've got the wine and then you
then you know you can really fucking cut loose yeah 3 a.m drum and bass turn it up have yourselves
a party do you know what i mean we've got neighbors who have parties quite regularly
and they always inform people.
So, yeah, I think it's a...
How do they do it?
They'll either knock on the door or put...
If you don't answer, they'll put a little thing for the door.
And do you get aggrieved by that or are you totally cool with it?
I'm pretty cool with it.
I think people...
I think if you take a piss, then...
How regularly are they having parties?
Oh, no, no, every couple of months.
Oh, OK.
Yeah, I think... Oh,. Oh yeah. I think,
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
I mean,
that means,
that means rough estimate.
They've had more parties over the last two years than I've been to in my life.
Probably.
Do you get invited to make the parties and shit?
No,
I don't get invited to shit,
bro.
Oh man.
It's because,
well,
people tell me it's because I always say no.
Yeah.
I've got that vibe.
I keep seeing that stuff happening.
Yeah.
How come you weren't at the King Gary reunion thing last week?
Little joke.
Okay.
The zinger.
That's your opening.
I can't believe you've given away talk material.
I feel like it's getting hotter and hotter in this room
to the point where I'm barely going to be conscious.
You're wearing a grey t-shirt as well.
You're going to have some back sweat on that.
Yeah, boy.
What kind of shorts or pants are you wearing?
I've got some
blue toweling shorts is what I would describe.
Oh, man, so you're going to get that arse sweat.
And I've got white, sort of
thick white socks on as well.
You're going to have really bad arse sweat. And I've got white, sort of thick white socks on. You're going to have
really bad arse sweat.
I was sat in the pub yesterday.
Yeah.
And I had a long walk over there.
And I sat down.
Oh God, this is disgusting.
I felt like the bead,
the dribble down the back.
That's the worst.
Down the back of your arse crack?
It was sort of started at the back.
Oh man. And it sort of worked its way down
it was a bit like
you know when Jeff Goldblum's
doing that demonstration of chaos theory
in Jurassic Park
it was a bit like that down my spine
in fact I think that scene
would have been better
if he'd done it like that
if he'd have gone
hold on let me just lift up my shirt
so can you see
do you think the next strip
is going to go down my ass crack as well
do you know that's the thing i worry so
about in the summer more than anything else is that fucking line between your ass cheeks and a
pair of like nice sort of like the pair of nice shorts and you've just got a fucking sweat line
yeah like yeah i was doing leg press at the gym the other day and like you know where it like
comes down on top of you and your sort of knees are by your ears or whatever, however high you get it.
And my T-shirt rode up
and my tracksuit bottoms were slightly lower
than I wanted them to be.
And so I would say for five out of the ten reps that I did,
my naked ass was making sense.
So you didn't have any underpants on?
No, I did, but you know where they've come down
and I sort of dragged them of put the tracksuit bottoms
saying we're going to leave this arse
and you're coming with us
come on you never leave a man behind
did you have that
big sweaty literally like a
moon landing arse
yeah it was like a sweat
peach
did you clean it off yeah of course I fucking did It was like a sweat peach.
Did you clean it off?
Yeah, of course I fucking did.
Even after I'd cleaned it off,
I thought to myself,
I need to tell them they need to replace that equipment.
You just take the cover off the chair.
Just so you know,
there's about three, four things over there that you need to burn now.
And that's going to happen every time I come to the gym.
Okay, another email.
Please keep me anonymous.
It's from the Angry Hedgehog.
Housework!
You are sweet, sweet souls.
I should be able to give a half-decent male perspective on this issue.
My husband does nothing around the house i clean dust hoover scrub the toilets water the garden do the laundry i won't bore you with the rest but it's a long list
uh we both work full time if i get spare time i usually do a few chores first then relax a bit
watch some tv if he gets spare time he does nothing except watch TV or play on his Xbox.
Ditto when he takes days off work.
He considers it his time.
So he does bugger all except lay on the sofa. I've raised this with him. He apologises,
makes a half-arsed effort for a few days, seemingly
expecting a fucking medal. That is absolute
classic men, that is, by the way.
Yeah, that's all of us.
Then reverts back to his normal lazy behaviour.
Is my hubby just a total twat
can he change I'd appreciate your advice
love the pod angry hedgehog
Tom Davis
illuminate
and elucidate please
I think this sadly
I don't mean to
I think a lot of men are culpable of this I certainly have been at times
I have been
there's a time when
I'd just play on FIFA
or I'd fucking find something else to do
rather than doing jobs around the house,
even working out or golf or whatever.
But if I'm honest, sort of me and Catherine
had quite a big chat about it, mostly as well, I think,
because Grace,
with Grace being brought up, we both work for ourselves,
but Catherine works from home, I'd be out working.
So I don't know, that was sort of,
it was a bit of a bone of contention.
But I think it's important to, you know,
I don't know, it's really hard,
but I think you should have like your jobs and their jobs,
like whatever they may be, like cleaning up after him.
If one of you cooks,
you don't want to clean up.
That's,
that's,
that should just be the simplest of things.
Like that should,
that should just be law of the house.
Right.
If someone cooks,
someone cleans up it,
you know,
but then if you,
you,
you break down,
these are the,
this is what needs doing every week.
This is what you're doing.
This is what I'm doing.
And that's like going to be down to people's schedules in life but i just think men are idiots right men can see correct
men will walk past stuff and just not think about it whereas women and like i don't mean to
gentrify like and this isn't but but like not gentle for whatever i don't mean to be generalized
generalize but yeah but that is pretty much in my experience how it is and it's like you i think for me
katherine's always been like right no you she'll bring bring it up to the point where now i will
like i'm better trained i think than i was you know but it's like just now like i don't know
if you ever had the thing where you just like the bottom of your fridge just gets fucking water in
it it's not a fucking swimming but like so katherine's like she's been saying to me for a couple of like about a week can you sort this out and i've been like
oh yeah i'll do it i'll do it and then realize actually i just this morning was like i'm gonna
fucking do it now i'm waiting to do the podcast and watch a youtube video uh do you ever watch
those youtube you're watching those youtube videos fucking 70. Is that a new website where you can watch videos
on pretty much anything?
Is that what you're talking about?
It's got a search engine thing,
hasn't it?
And you can like,
look for videos.
So if you wanted to learn
how to do the gambling,
you can watch something
about poker.
If you wanted to learn
how to do something
about cleaning.
But I ended up
watching a video
about how to clean,
like,
why would this happen? And then, actually, I've sorted it out. But I ended up watching a video about how to clean, like, why would this happen?
And then, actually, I've sorted it out.
But then I watched about 10 videos from this one person
who'd, for some reason, made a video about how to clean fridges.
And then, yeah, but his stuff was all so different.
There was no, like, oh, this is how you clean fridges.
Oh, yeah, this is what happens if your freezer gets, like, over-freezed
or whatever they call it
needs to frost him it was just like it was so sporadic but he had the number one video to watch
about like if you get a pond in the back yeah you gotta yeah you gotta go for the specialist in that
situation i have figured out how to do so much stuff from youtube yeah it's incredible yeah it's
it's an it's um it's an amazing website. It really is.
Whatever you need.
Are you working on that now?
Do you do stuff?
Well, it's very difficult for me.
I do very little, if anything.
Really? Yeah.
Do you empty the bins?
Do you take the bins out?
As we were reading this email and you were answering,
I thought, how honest am I going to be about what I do?
I think you need to be as honest as possible.
Do you do the bins?
Occasionally.
Not very often.
Right.
Do you clean the kitchen?
Do I clean the kitchen?
No.
I mean, I do.
If I do clean up after myself, I would say that.
But do I clean the kitchen?
No, but if the whole family's eating,
would you go and clean the sides, fill the dishwasher, wash the pans?
Yeah, I do do that a bit, yeah.
Yeah, so you know you've been hard on yourself.
No, I don't do enough.
I don't do anywhere near enough.
And this is what I think, angry hedgehog.
I think your husband is a default do-nothing-er.
That's his natural state.
And he's not going to change i i don't think
he's going to change uh so you well he's not going to change without incentive is what i mean
so what i think is what i think you need to do is i think you need to make it clear how much
it's pissing you off because based on your email it's pissing you off. Because based on your email, it's pissing you off quite a lot.
And I don't know if it's pissing you off enough to maybe, like,
I mean, you've said, is my hubby a total twat?
I don't know how much this is pushing you towards thinking,
fucking hell, I don't know if I, I mean, I'm being very extreme here.
I don't even know if I want to be in this, if it's going to carry on like this.
But I think you need to make it absolutely clear.
Because basically, at the moment, you've got a situation where you're telling him to do some stuff he does it for a bit
and then he stops doing it and there there is no there's no consequences of that so there is no
reason for him to behave differently and i listen i mean there is a reason to be a considerate
husband i get that but that's not working so you need to try something else and what i suggest you
do is sit down have a
talk with them and say it is incredibly stressful for me having to do everything you are being
selfish uh if you care about my feelings at all you will start doing stuff and i don't just mean
for a few days i mean can we talk about what is your responsibility and like i think what tom said
was right about allocating certain things.
So you do this,
I do this,
you do this.
And then you've got the responsibility
because if it's like an arbitrary thing
of like,
can you do more?
He's got no idea what that is.
Do you know what I mean?
Like he's got no idea what that is.
You need to make,
you do it like you do with kids.
We do it with our kids.
Men are fucking kids.
Men,
if you let men fucking behave
like fucking children,
and this is speaking as well, like, like, and like fucking children and this is as well like
like and like you what you said as well is it's an incentive and this is fucking how pathetic we
are as a fucking group of people i'm not saying it's right i'm not saying no no no i'm not saying
it's right or good but i'm just saying that some men are just like that yeah but also i think a lot
like i can talk to you about me and you fucking pals I've got, if you let men procrastinate and just fucking sit around scratching their bollocks watching football and playing on the Xbox, they'll fucking do that.
But what you need to do is like, and it's fucking, it's a shitter for you because you don't want to become like the nag, but you kind of just got to go, look, if you want to watch the Xbox, make sure you do this, this and this.
Yeah.
I'll go, look, if you want to watch the Xbox,
make sure you do this, this and this.
Yeah.
You want to find a way of doing it where you don't feel like a nag.
And by the way, I'm not saying you're a nag,
but it's tiring to have to keep telling people stuff.
And it's tiring, it's annoying,
and he'll start to resent you for it, unrightfully.
But he will.
So what you've got to do is you've got to make
a fundamental change to how things are working in your house.
Some of this will come down to the thing of you being seen
within your relationship. It's like not about about some of the things that we've found i've
found out is through therapy or whatever so it's not necessarily it's about the fact you're doing
all this stuff around the house and he probably doesn't notice and he takes it for he'll take
he'll be taking it for granted he's not turning around and saying even like you even if he's not
doing the shit he should be you're you're doing all this amazing stuff and you're you're keeping the house running and he's not turning around going oh you
know what the the kitchen looks nice oh thanks for doing that or yeah oh it has the house feels
nice and clean he's so it's a deeper thing isn't even just the the him doing it or him not doing
it it's the fact that you're doing these things and you're not getting any sort of praise or any sort of like he's not seeing how instrumental you are to that so yeah he kind of needs to fix up
and look he does so i shout out and look sharp and major because he's a lucky man yo
he's a lucky very lucky man good luck luck. This episode is brought to you by

should we do one more let's do it uh dear swan cat wolf oh god you know i've just realized
what the swan chooses these emails. Oh yeah, wow. That last one.
Wow.
Is my hubby
just a total twat?
Mate,
what are you like
on holiday?
Are you more like...
Imagine if I'd not
picked up on that
and then she listens
to this
and she's like, I cannot believe how fucking
nailed on that email was.
When you're on holiday,
do you do more stuff then?
Yeah, there we go.
I need to sort myself out. This has been a wake-up
call for me, which I assume is what the Swan was hoping
for all along.
Okay, this is from The Worm.
Wow.
By the way, at this point, I'm barely conscious, cat well by the way at this point i'm barely conscious
just so you know not because of the email but i really am descending into a fucking funk here
this is bad do you smell seven seven beers yesterday i'm sitting here in a room that's
volcanic and gradually shutting down so it's possible that during your closing speech you're
closing uh i can't even think of the fucking,
you're closing comments.
I'll,
I'll completely fall asleep.
Um,
okay.
This one cat wolf and owl.
Thanks for putting me last.
I'm a huge fan of the pod and almost crashed my car at the recent Mark Mike section of the podcast.
Great listening.
Oh my God. That was,
uh,
the mark,
the Mike,
the Mike.
We should put that up as a video by JT.
Yeah,
that's not, um, you've not got his email address
no?
you prick
is this how you're exclusively
communicating with him?
I know you're listening
yeah he's already furious
that we've told three stories that we've told before on the podcast
probably at this stage
this poor bastard
having to remember stuff
that we don't fucking remember.
He's incredible, that guy.
Even though it's us that said it.
Yeah, I know.
He's unbelievable.
Yeah, JT's like that.
He's the best in the game.
He's the engine room
in this podcast.
Yeah, he is.
Oh, you know how it goes
this far to say about him?
He's a busquets
or he's the guy in the team.
He's more important
than anyone else
in this podcast.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Easily.
Easily.
Yeah.
Easily.
We'd be fucked without him.
Yeah, we shouldn't have said any of this, actually, because...
Yeah, I just think there should be...
I'd say there should be...
He's going to ask for more money.
A JT day.
I might even get a tattoo of his name on mine.
Yeah, that's a great idea.
We're 58 minutes in.
Let's make this JT day.
JT, I hope you enjoy the last two minutes of this
that are dedicated to you.
My plight is an embarrassing one,
so I'd like to stay anonymous
for reasons you'll shortly understand.
After hearing the Pebble story,
which initially disgusted me,
I came round to this great idea
after such an eloquent explanation from the wolf
it got me thinking.
My wife has recently suffered a bout of thrush,
which in turn has become a firing...
Why are we laughing at that?
I think it's because he's put it in the email.
I'm not laughing at thrush.
It's a horrible thing, thrush.
My wife has recently suffered a bout of thrush,
which in turn has become a fire and itchy affair for me
and the unmentionables and made sleeping difficult.
Listening to the Pebbles story, I took the Wolf's logic and decided a cooling aid was the way to go now
now balancing a pebble on my helmet wouldn't work so i came up with an alternative I cut a circle out of a leather patch that was in the pocket of a recently bought jacket meant for minor repairs.
I cut a straight slit to the centre and formed a cone similar to the palm leaf conical hats worn as traditional Vietnamese dress.
And I put it in the freezer imagine imagine my relief and gratitude to the wolf upon wearing the invention that night he had a vietnamese themed cock upon wearing the invention that
night in bed when my wife was working late when the heat is sufficiently cooled i removed the
garment and placed on my bedside table when my when i woke from a much needed night's sleep the yeast infected cowhide had gone and
to my display to my dismay i only turned up two days later
i only turned up two days later
when I found it on the head of my nine-year-old daughter's
Barbie.
Jesus Christ!
I immediately
removed it and told my daughter I'd fashioned another hat
but she told me why she was upset and my wife confronted
me and told me to return it
I didn't and I made a bike helmet out of
a toothpaste pump for barbie
but my wife now will not stop asking what it is
and why I'd made it
do I let her know what the fuck I'd been up to
or do I keep rebuffing her question
thanks in advance the worm
oh my god
wow
the worm oh my god wow um the worm um
number one bro i would say that um you sound like an incredible like in the ingenuity on you
to make these like to make a bike yeah it'd be very very very matter of fact about doing some
incredible things yeah like to make a bike helmet out of a toothpaste
that's incredible
I genuinely
I'm going to be
hitting you up
for advice about
yeah
different headwear
for barbies
obviously
none that my dick
and penises
yeah
I think it's probably best
I think it was something
you and your wife
have both suffered
with the thrush situation
I think it's probably best
that you sit down
you have a chat
and you tell her
exactly what happened.
I mean, I'm guessing your wife will see the funny side of it.
Yeah.
I'm thinking that, yeah, I mean, you saved Barbie.
Did you wash, I'm sort of like, did you wash Barbie's head?
You wash her hair?
Yeah, that needs a proper, I would say that needs a shave
and a restitch.
Yeah, I'd have actually probably gone out
and brought a whole new Barbie if I'm'm yeah rather than sort of yeah but yeah i think it's honesty is paramount here
but like wow i feel so like it's an incredible thing when you start i've started off the pebbles
and now people are using it for other body parts um i mean at the moment i'd love to just get a
massive pebble and that you could just hold in your arms in your room there,
and then you'd feel nice and cool all over.
The Worm, thank you for sharing a wonderful story.
It's a great email, one of the best we've had in a while.
Ever.
You do need to tell your wife what happened.
And you can blame Tom if you want,
because I'd come up with this idea of the arse pebble.
You thought you'd try and make a Vietnamese cock hat as a
result of listening
to Tom's advice
and that's why you
got rid of it and I
think she'll
understand and then
maybe get some more
leather and make
yourself and maybe
label them yeah you
know one Barbie
also just get a
drawer to put your
if you if you're
sticking your dick
in there just put it
away just put it
just put your yeast
cock hat away yeah
yeah yeah good luck Just put it away. Just put your yeast cock hat away. Yeah. Yeah? Yeah.
Good luck.
Okay, Tom, do us the honour of taking us out.
A king sat on his amazing throne, chilling the day away.
And a jester came through and made him laugh a little bit,
and his main knight came forward and said,
oh, I killed a dragon for you,
and he celebrated them both with mountains of gold,
and then someone made him a lovely, lovely cape that he wore,
and he strolled around town in the cape.
All the while, never thinking about every day when he sat on the throne it was clean and it stood and bared his weight anyway one day he sat on his throne and there was a pin that stuck on his bum
and also it was quite smelly and dirty and some of the fat and residue from his last night's dinner was in it and the king shouted out for christ's
sake why is my chair dirty and someone says oh matthew the chair cleaner um he's not coming
like he's been actually like he's got gonorrhea he's he's not gonna be for a few days
and the king said um what? What the hell?
Like, what are we supposed to do now?
And basically everyone was like, we don't know.
Like, Matthew's like, we never thought this would happen.
The moral of the story.
Oh, my God.
The moral of the story is, in life,
you will always notice the big moments, the grand gestures, the people who score the goals or the people who fly the air balloons.
But what you won't notice is the people who keep the clean sheets or make the wicker baskets notice everyone no one is too small
or no gesture too small to say thank you thank you for being there every day because life is all
built up from simple gestures that make your heart beat that little bit kinder oh that was
really lovely really nice i would say very abrupt ending opposite of lord of the rings i would say
yeah yeah i kind of yeah yeah i sort of knew what i wanted to say but also i was then conscious of
the fact that you slumped back into a chair and i wasn't sure if you were still alive oh yeah um
it was a great one. Another great one.
Guys, thank you so much for listening to The Wolf for now.
We appreciate every one of you.
We're going to play for you now a little segment of a song
