And me, Tom Ian Davis. Tid, Tid, nice to see you Tid. I would love my middle name isn't Ian, I'm just obsessed with the name Ian at the moment. What do you have a middle name? Yeah, Michael. So why do you say Ian? I don't know, I just like the name Ian.

I think Tom Ian Davis would have been. Tommy and Tommy and Davis, but it sounds like Tommy and Davies. Tommy and Davies is a name in it, it's posh. Tommy and Davies is a good name, Tommy and Davies is a great name. Tommy and Davies, what a name. Tommy and the Comedian. Which is your middle name Ramesh and your first name is Jonathan. Don't make me do this bit again please. No, no, no, no, no, we look that out of fucking sync that we get. No, we're out of gear though. Your shoulders are looking fucking hench, boy.

That's a nice fucking, you're looking good, boy. Yeah, thanks, thanks, thanks. It's a bit of a sedate, full disclosure to the animal pack, this is happening at quarter past six. Yeah. So, you know, normally we do mornings, don't we? So, we're gonna see. This is the hottest room in my house as well. I would say this market like this room is like a so but it's the only one that I

doesn't sound like I can go in it doesn't sound like a church. Well, we had this and been some podcast about I don't know if we're allowed to say this, but we got we had an interview that we're doing a bit of PR for the very exciting shout out Boyd Hilton. Yeah, Tom sort of big dicked it by doing it from his car. Just sat in the back, sort of like, yeah, too busy to be at home when I'm doing this. And then, so that was that.

I was at home. I had a little taste of your world, the radio world, my friend. Mm, you're on Scott Mills' show, what was that like? Oh, it was nice. Scott Mills is quite a, he's quite a a guy, isn't he? He's my second favourite BBC DJ after Vernon Gaye. Are they still called DJs?

Yeah, you're a DJ. Well, I don't think I am, am I? Because I'm not actually DJing. I'm not jockeying the discs. There's no discs. It's presenter, isn't it? Is that what they call it now? Look, yeah, I mean, they'll be purist at being, well, damn right you're a presenter. Back in the day, you actually had to use to have DJs. Whereas now, God knows what they're bringing onto the radio. You pressed the buttons though, didn't you? You pressed the buttons to get this on.

Yeah, I drive the desk. Yeah, I did do that. Yeah, but it's not actually a desk driver a DD Yeah Mills he drives the desk as well Let me tell you something about Scott Mills man that that guy can drive a desk with his eyes closed You know, it's a nice instinctive. He's a radio like absolute god isn't he? He really knows his fucking stuff. Well he lives for radio you know. Which I love, it's the same thing when you find a waiter who just loves the restaurant he works in. Do you know what I mean? I love someone who's just so into their job

it's unreal. Scott Mill was actually, I was like well actually you're fucking good for you and can I say Mel? It's quite patronizing. What? No. How's that patronizing? Well, good for you. Do you know what? You found something you like, and you really like.

That's the old thing. Muhammad Ali said it best. Mate, you fucking love the thing you do. You never work a day in your life, baby. I don't think he said it like that, did he? And is that one of those? Is that a genuine Muhammad Ali quote? Muhammad Ali said, no matter what he's done with you. That feels that one of those, is that a genuine Muhammad Ali quote? Muhammad Ali said, no matter what he said.

That feels like one of the quotes where somewhere else somebody's going, you know the great old Adolf Hitler quote. Find somebody you love, you never work a day in your life, baby. You know, that feels like one of those general, you know, there's a few things, aren't there, that just get attributed to various people, you know?

No, but I think Muhammad Ali said that. He certainly said something along the lines of like, whatever you do, whether you're a bin man, or a boxer, or a singer, try to be the best at it as well. But people think he means everything, he just meant those three things specifically. Also, Mel was there, she's a little bit, isn't she? Yeah, she's there, yeah.

Very funny, very funny human being. And do you know what she's like, she's so to presenting and like podcasting and stuff like that, and she loves it. Good for her, being. And do you know what she's like? She's so to presenting and podcasting and stuff. And she loves it. Good for her. Good for her. You know? You're an absolute sniper. As the great Will Mellor said, you know,

find some of your love. Yeah, find some of your love. And you never work a day-to-day life. Will Mellor found two points of lager? Yeah, I think that's him. It's him that originally said that. What have you got to Will Mellor? Yeah, I think that's in there. I think you got the real mellow. I think you're thinking of David Miller, the old politician. I don't know. It's been like a toad. That guy. Tom.

You can't say things like that about people. David. Let's just have a look at this guy's David Mellor. Hi David Mellor. Oh God, British businessman and sponsor of Academy Trust. Is that what you're thinking of? No, no, no, broadcaster and former. Broadcaster and former minister of Saudi Arabia. I know, here we go. British broadcaster and former politician.

Oh, David Mellor, yes, now I know who you're talking about. Sorry, he, yeah, the late David Mellor passed away in 1992. He didn't die in 1992. I know he's in office not till 1992. What good version of Google have you got there? He's still going. He's actually really like that. No I can see him. No, I can see him, I've got it up now, even though I've got the wrong dates. Can't believe I thought he died in 1992. In office, but so, you know, sort of officially he died, you know what I mean? Business-wise he died. I don't think he looks like a toad.

In this picture, he actually looks a bit like me. Yeah, he does actually. See, that's how I know him. That's my recollection of how he looks. Look, he does look a lot like does actually. See, that's how I know him. That's my recollection of how he looks. He does look a lot like you actually. Do you like being told, so for example, I've got like a sort of a mullet haircut now and I've got a tash. Your hair is sick. Your hair is so frustrating. I love you to

bits because you look like you've basically you have like now somehow you've got a very prior-esque look to you right with a mustache but it's so fucking drippy. The last thing you want to do is be on stage reminding somebody of a better much better comedian than you that is there. But I reminded myself because I've got like a bit of a mullet in the tash, I reminded myself of Balthazar from Despicable Me 3, you know, the villain from that. So I was doing, I was with Johnny the hairdresser the other day and he was just like giving me a trim off. Oh, shout out to Johnny. I was surprised Johnny could beat, he's got any time for hairdressing with all the fucking sports he plays.

I know. And then he said to me, then I said to him, I've just realised who I'm reminding myself of, that guy from Despicable Me 3. And Johnny, he goes to me, what were you saying that for? And I've just done your hair and now you're saying you look like, and I go, yeah, but I wasn't pissed off about it. I was just like, I've a hair and tash like him. Johnny thought I was being really down on myself but I don't mind. I don't think anybody's like, I don't look like him to the point where people are

gonna go oh my god that's the real life version of the guy from Just Pickle Me Through. I'm just saying it looks a bit... You know what I've just thought for Halloween thisesteem Cuz you know what we could do for Halloween you guys him I go I shave off my beard and goes grew That's a great show we should Smash anyone's had over that would be the best Halloween parent ever do you know? Yeah, I never get Your let me tell you this now can I say this now I can say this officially Martin T Smith myself a throwing a Halloween party. I'd like to extend the first formal invitation to yourself.

Oh mate, I will be so up for that. So like I was Gru, are you gonna go? Maybe I will, I don't know. I haven't really thought about it. Don't go as Freddy Krueger. Fuck you, do sound original, please. What makes you think I'm gonna go as Freddy Krueger? I don't know, you just got that way about you

that you're just gonna go as Freddy. Has Freddy Krueger endured in a way that if I go as Freddy Krueger, people know who I'm gonna go as Freddy Krueger. I don't know if you just got that way about you, that you're just gonna go as Freddy. Has Freddy Krueger endured in a way that if I go as Freddy Krueger, people know who I'm going as? I mean, I think you need to know. Of course, Freddy Krueger is literally probably in the top five Halloween people. I was so scared of- People don't dress as Freddy Krueger now,

do they, anymore? No. And in fact, you're more likely to get somebody dressed as fucking Mickey Mouse as you are Freddy Krueger now, with the way Halloween costumes are gone I don't want to sound like an old man shouting at clouds, but the fact of the matter is it's You just dress as whatever you want now, don't you? Yeah

Like the old days of dressing as like, or maybe me? What about me? You used to dress as actual horror characters That's when Halloween was actually about the fear factor. It meant something. You'd scare the willies out of someone and make them explore. It was about the occult. It was about looking into the darker side of things, not turning up like a slutty Donald Duck or whatever it is they're doing now. I don't know, I can only name Disney characters in this roleplay. A group of teens scaring the wits out of each other all standing around a Ouija board your honor. I remember back in the day, Halloween, you'd make people cry, little children would be crying because it jumped out of them like

some sort of sex offender. It was horrifying, then you'd throw a brick through someone's window because they hadn't given you a Mars bar. Those were the days. People are turning up like any old fear. I'd have somebody knock on the door say giving you a Mars bar. Those were the days. Are you gonna... Now people are turning up like any old thing. I'd somebody knock on the door, say trick or treat, say who you supposed to be? Said Ariana Grande. What the bloody hell's going on here? What the fuck has happened to Halloween? Or Hallow's Eve, as we used to call it back in the day when it was a party.

Isn't that Hallow's Eve Zeeam's party? What? There's a guy called Azim who has a party, I think he calls it Hello Zeeam. I don't know, who's Azim? He's like a party thrower, he throws parties on the celebrity circuit. Am I supposed to know you like this? He'll be your rival, he'll be your rival for your big celebrity bash. It's not a big celebrity bash, it's like literally like I'm inviting 60 people to this thing, it's not a big celebrity bash. It's like literally like I'm inviting 60 people to this thing. It's not a big celebrity 60

Yeah, who else is going? Well you and 59 others? I'm telling you you're the first person I'm invited What else are you gonna what you gonna wear what's what's at the moment I don't know I haven't told I haven't don't make me regret What about me you go? Yeah, but I want to do something you even if it's like it's in the same realm as what you do If you guys lose Skywalker for example, I was coming star fader Problem is that people are going as Luke Skywalker. What is he scared? Apart from Princess Leia when he was being a bit inappropriate because he's her brother after all trying to kiss her Biggest horror of that whole bloody trilogy.

The incest. I was very excited. I don't think I'm going to go as Luke Skywalker. Are you going to dance? Of course, yeah. Why did you say it like that? I don't think I've ever seen you dance. We've heard stories about it.

We've never been in a dance realm. I mean, we've heard stories about it. We've never been in a dance around the house. Yeah, I love dancing around the house. It depends as well what music's playing. Then you'll get me, yeah. If you get some sort of show tunes up and stuff, you'll see me fucking. I tell you, quite a humiliating thing that happened to me

at the weekend. I think I've talked about this before, but often I'll be known to sort of grab the swan you know in sort of a yeah come here you do you mean like yeah yeah yeah rubbish stop it yeah yeah sort of horrible impression of Lisa that was right right yeah yeah okay so so I do do that a fair bit. Sometimes, if there's a little bit of music on in our house, or sometimes I do a little grind over to her and she's like, oh, gosh, not again.

I'm trying to do dinner. You're rubbish. I'm doing dinner. Yeah. We don't do it like that because the truth is, that idea that we're being in a seductive vibe, that's not the case. Anyway, there's sort of like a little bit of a narrative or dynamic idea that we've been in a seductive vibe that's not it's not the case anyway there's sort of like a little bit of a narrative or dynamic that she sort of

doesn't really you know she's a bloody Elrond and she would get yeah it's playful anyway on Sunday I went to sort of do that she ran away what? I thought you were gonna say she reciprocated and she was like no no listen if you think I'd have waited this far into the podcast to tell you that she reciprocated, I would have fucking opened with it. I would have gone, welcome to the world for now. Lisa, kiss me.

Grip me up, grab me up. It was amazing. Nice and good. So what did she, she ran off, did she laugh when she ran off or was it like she ran off? Did she laugh when she ran off? No, no, I wouldn't say she did, no. Like a comical, like was it like, get away from me and laugh it, or was it like, oh my God, and she ran off? No, no, I wouldn't say she did, no. Like a comical, like was it like, get away from me and laugh it or was it like, oh my god and just ran off?

Um, she just like sprinted silently. What? She sprinted, shut up. She sprinted off. She did. And leaving with the boys there. Well she didn't, Tom, she didn't run down the road, she just sort of ran across the room. What, laughing or just for serious? No, like serious. Oh my God.

Yeah, like really. What did you do? She got her head down and went for it. Well, I chased her. Come here, you. You can't get away from me. Yeah. Watch this game we're playing.

You don't like this, but I still chase you. Why did you have to run a marathon? You're so fast now. Gosh, she is gonna fucking hate this when she hears this. What, but did the boys see it or was it just a two? No, no, it was just a little private moment between this and that. I mean, it would have been heartbreaking

if the boys would have absolutely rinsed me if they'd have seen that. You got no chance there, bro. Oh my God, you're not even, you can't even pull your mum. You sad old bastard. Leave it. I'll bloody throw that PlayStation in the skip. Can I ask you what you think about this please, right? Speaking of parenting, so on Friday night, we went to the boys like presentation evening

and they were all they all were awarded for various bits and pieces. But it was a great evening. But one of the things they do, because it's like a dance and theater company, they are just interested, because I know you're a very devoted parent, right? And it's quite difficult for me to explain this scenario, because it's very unusual unless you go to these things.

But they do like, the kids all did like a pairs dance competition, where they're given random numbers, and you have to pair up somebody random and then you've got five minutes to choreograph a little dance routine and then they have hates and then like they've got judges around the room and anyway so they do that the Theo Alex and Charlie all did that and then the next bit of it is a parent-child dance competition. Whoa.

Right, now a few years ago, the last time I went, because I've missed the last couple because of work, but the last time I went to this, Lisa and Alex did it and I think they came fourth. They brought back some sort of trophy, right? Anyway, the book, in the, no, it's like a truck, it's actually a truck, like a medal or something. Oh, okay, yeah.

I dunno, know, yeah. Sometimes they give confectionary to the fourth place and the others get the... Yeah, sure they do, but they might do. But to go that specific on your guess for a competition that about a minute ago you didn't even know existed, to then have the confidence to guess what specific prize they might have given for fourth in the parent child dance competition. It's incredible, Bravado,

even for someone of your sort of arrogance. No, I'm just thinking that's always a fitting gift for fourth place. I think probably 70% of the Toblerone's are brought for fourth place in various competitions and sports days and winter fairs. I don't eat Tob-arounds, right? Yeah, of course.

But you know you get the big jumbo ones, like the big old boys. They just look so difficult to eat. They're insane to eat. I've eaten a whole one in a sitting once. One of the jumbo airport ones? Yeah. Yeah, of course you have. What did you do then? Spend the rest of the day? Oh bloody hell, cat. Oh god. She was there at the time. I'm gonna be shooting a pyramid out of sphinx light. Oh fucking hell. What did I do with the whole film? I'd flown to Sofia to film a show

called Plebs and I was very much quite down. Walked on set eating a jumbo tableau like it was a marbles bar. Well I left Catherine and I was quite down about it so it was like comfort eating. Yeah, I get you. That and a load of Bulgarian lager. I just didn't have it. And I was very worried about the food. I had food poisoning out there before so I made an oath that I wouldn't eat food out there.

I would just eat like food that had already been packaged elsewhere. I would say it's quite a risky oath for you to take that you're not going to eat food. No but like I wasn't going to eat like Bulgarian cuisine at the time which later I found out by the way was actually delicious and it was just a rogue bit of sushi that I've had. Oh okay. Back to your tail. The tail of... Oh yeah so anyway in the run-up to this event, the boys had started going to me, are you gonna enter the parent-child dance competition? And I said, no, obviously not.

And then they started, then Theo started really winding you up, going, well, that's a bit disappointing, isn't it? Because, like, mum's done it before. And I said, yeah, but I'm not doing it. And then Theo said, well, wow, okay. Started really laying it on thick, just going, wow, all right, so what, my own dad won't take part in the dance competition like really? I'm proud of Theo but away and then he spoke to you and then Lisa started going yeah, Rob

Like what's up? And then they start to the point where I'm not proud of this. I got annoyed. I said look I'm not Okay, I don't know how much I was joking, but it did get to a point where I said that I might not go. Oh my God. Oh my, what you said, I'm not gonna come. If you're not gonna bully me into doing a dance competition, I ain't coming, son. You can't make me, your mom two nights ago ran away from my advances.

What am I in this house? Eh, eh? So I was sort of half joking and then Lisa went. ran away from my advances. What am I in this house? Eh? Eh? So I was sort of half-joking and then Lisa went- Lisa was like, Rom, do yourself a favor, just do it for the boys. And then- It's so sad that I find myself fantasizing

about the idea that Lisa might one day talk to me like that. I would fucking love it if I got, because I'm away at the moment. If I came home and Lisa went, oh my God, you've been filming the weakest link. I tell you who isn't the weakest link you you fucking Chocolate bar of fucking hotness. You know you bring your Toblerone over here I think it's all right for you to sort of do the chocolate thing What you've done there, my friend, has become a little bit too comfortable.

You know what I mean? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha it's one of those things where you don't know how much you're joking. Do you know what I mean? It gets a bit muddied, you know? Yeah, yeah. So anyway, then I go to the, we go to the event. I go to Audra, get myself a Heineken Zero. Which, by the way, how much non-alcoholic lager do you drink? A little bit. Makes you very farty, I've noticed, I've observed. Heineken is a really bad lager.

What, is the alcoholic lager farty as well? Yeah, because Heineken, I think, is the most chemically enhanced lager there is. I think it inspired the, whatever that drink is in BFG. What's it called? Yeah, the fart drink. Yeah, the fart drink. Yeah. Yeah, the fart drink. I think that was Heineken. It's got a really chemical, I think it's my worst, I've got quite a lot of it in the fridge actually. We bought some for a barbecue and no one drank it.

What barbecue? Everyone just flew. I was just fucking probably about three years ago. So we've still got some. Oh, okay. You've got it in the fridge still? Yeah. Sorry, you've had a load of beer in your fridge for three years? It's disgusting I buy other beers. Why are you refrigerating it then? Just in case people... Oh yeah I'm sure you would I'm sure you're saving the best stuff for when I come round. So you've got a load of lager that you hate by the way let's not get to the fact that the lager that you hate the most you've stocked up on for your

guests for this barbecue. No, I didn't. I hated it at the time. At the time I was just like, wow, Heineken doing non-alcoholic beer, fucking let's get stuck in. So I brought a lot of it. So it's Heineken Zero. So you brought a load of Heineken Zero. Okay, fine. And so you, by the way, the reason I had Heineken Zero is only thing that was available Yeah, non-alcoholic, but I mean I could go then I then I had a can of it when people around us Oh, this is disgusting Also, like a lot of people were a lot of people weren't having on having the alcoholic beer even if I was yeah So I got left so you kept that on ice

For three years. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I think that's on okay weird I think that's on you I think that's weird no not really like it's free to be fair actually when you I didn't know you liked it when you came out of the car yeah but you didn't know you didn't like it when you came around my house you have a month I could have given you a cup of cans of it then yeah you could have done yeah well done I mean there are other ways to get rid of it I got I don't throw it away but get it out the fucking fridge. I mean environmentally you've kept a load of beer that you hate chilled for three years almost half a decade. Do you know how hard it is to get rid of fucking non-alcoholic Heineken fucking a can of it right if so if you come out of some crude oil

and then tell me and go oh by the way would you like a can of Heineken? But oh, it's by the way, it's warm Fucking they'll go. Actually, you know what? I just have a bottle of water How long do you think it takes Argo to get down to sort of drinking temperature do you think in the fridge? It isn't 18 months Maybe like if you if you know we're coming round as you did just get it in there just before Yeah, I wish I'd given it to you you could have probably you know sunk about three or four cans of me during well I wouldn't know I would have done had I because I wouldn't have known what I now know

which is it you know doing whiz pops all over the fucking gaff do you mean did you let Theo have a can of can of it? No. I did ask him if he wanted to try it I did actually ask him if he wanted to try it because he was like he doesn't like beer. He keeps saying to me, I said to him you've got to push through that if you really want to enjoy beer and then he smelt it and he goes I don't understand what the inclination is to drink that, something that smells like that. You know what I'm saying son, if you really want to like beer you've got to push through it my boy, you've got to push through it my boy. You've got to push for it my son Get a little get a little touch. No, I mean I said it sort of light-heartedly I don't know why sometimes I don't know why I share stories of you

Well, I do know desperate we're desperate for content Anyhow go on we said the dark so you you've had about three or four cans of Heineken zero No, two glasses of Heineken. I went to the bar so can I get you got any non-alcoholic drinks? I've got she got she goes we've got Heineken zero said I love a Heineken Zero. I went to the bar and said, can I get you got any non-alcoholic drinks? She got, she got, she goes, we've got Heineken Zero. I said I love Heineken Zero. She goes, oh my god. It's you, isn't it? You're the comedian. And I go, yeah. She goes, I bloody love you, Rikesh. I said, all right. Just give me the beer. Let me get the hell out of here. Well, by the way, what? Rikesh. A lot of people say Ramesh to me when they think about you.

Ramesh, look, it's not right but it's okay, do you know what I mean? As Whitney Houston said. They had a bar at the school hall. It wasn't the school hall, it was a social club. Oh nice. So anyway, then the boys, I it's like mate, at the back of the social club there's people like having a night out. A social club, I mean they must be still a thing, I didn't know that but. I used to adore social club on a Friday or Saturday night. That's what living was. I loved it when I was a kid, my dad would go there and meet up with his mates and he'd

leave me sat on the floor with a packet of crisps for hours. It was lovely. The magic of childhood, am I right? Anyway, then the boys started going, are you gonna do the dance competition? And then I realized that they were pretending to wind me up, but they actually wanted me to do it. Anyway, long story short, that ship sailed.

I didn't do it. Is that bad? You did what? I thought this whole thing was gonna end with you doing it. Tom, Tom. I thought it fucking helped. There's a woman behind the bar. I tell you what, why bring it's fucking this is what I bring up.

If why didn't you blouse down minutes? I did blouse up. But the problem is, I wouldn't I don't think I would have bloused out if I wasn't a comedian. Do you mean like what I I just had visions of you know, you know, videos of me dancing going on socials. Can I just say, by the way, you have got shapes, you can move. There's no doubt. I don't understand how these dance competitions go man You got a choreograph a thing for two minutes, then you got a guy in front of a judge

You've got three fucking sons I would take your fucking sons all day long in a dancer all three of the fucking very talented dancers Aka show people do I mean they've got that fucking gift You know they're gonna probably do a lot of the hard work and then you've just got to follow the... You'd have smashed it. If I was there, this is what I'd have done. I'd have gone like, Oi oi, Robert's running an open and a fucking dance off. And so I'll go, he's just a comedian. I'll go, 500 quid says he'll fucking win the thing. Yeah, well you would... the truth is you would have lost your money because of the

standard of some of the pairs. I mean, I don't want to say anything untoward, but there's a couple of people that I'm pretty sure had been rehearsing and putting something together before they arrived there. A couple of the parents. But it's random, isn't it? It's picked out of a hat. What do you mean it's random? What do you mean it's picked out of a hat? No, you don't pick your child out of a hat. No, but you've got three kids you can pick. You've got three kids that you can pick from. Yeah, but you do it with one of your kids. It's not random parents with any old fucking kids. And then suddenly you're twerking with some child

that you didn't know before you arrived at the fucking event. Are you mad? I'm not sure I thought you meant. It was a random day. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh yeah, here you go. You're with little Susie.

See how you get on. Oh, hello, Why are you crying? Because you've never met me before and I'm a 47 year old man who you're going to have to now do the Lombarda with. Fuck me, where did I pull that from? Lombarda? Jesus Christ. That's the second time a woman's run away from me after trying to jar rate with her. Anyway, I didn't do it, but now I feel bad.

You've made me feel bad about it. You'd have done well. I've told him next year I'm gonna do it. You should start practicing now. I don't think I'm gonna spend a year rehearsing for that. I'm so hot in this room, it's ridiculous. Yeah, I'm quite warm actually. I'm literally sweltering. You know what, on a sad note, I'm working this Friday

and it's Gracie's leaving assembly at nursery. I'm devastated. I got back from work tonight and Catherine's like, oh Gracie's really excited, she's got a proper little part in the sort of leaver's assembly. She gets up and she's got a little speech. I was like, oh mate. It genuinely felt like the knife going through my heart. I was absolutely...

Well, it's a knife going through her heart. That's a terrible analogy. But do you know what I mean? Jesus Christ. Sorry, that was not... So dark. Sorry, that was... I think what's happened there, my friend, is you've got a little comfortable. Oh, look at him.

Did you... you must have had that, right? Pardon? Missing things like that. It's got to be. No, I would never work if I had a thing like that. I would always push. I would say I can't make it. But look, it's up to you how you sort of prioritize parenting.

Do you know what I mean? Some of us sort of place our child's development over money. Do you know what I mean? But listen, you're doing a big thing. I'm sure it's a big deal. Yeah, or obviously ego, or the fact that one woman who, in a room full of strangers, who actually got your name wrong, you didn't want to make a fool out

of yourself, and you broke your poor son's heart. Well, I mean, he seemed pretty unbothered by it, to be honest with you. But anyway. Who would you have danced with, by the way? Not really want to pick. Well, Charlie wasn't up for it it to be honest with you but anyway. Who would you have danced with by the way? Just not who you want to pick. Well Charlie wasn't up for it to be honest with you so he's out so it's between Theo and Alex. Alex is the most keen. I've got to say go Alex yeah because Theo's now got an edge and he's fucking so cool. I know yeah

I know he'll probably start trying to choreograph something a bit mad. Anyway, should we do some emails Tom? Yes do it my friend, let's do it. Okay. What's up with you? I'm so red and hot in this fucking room, it's ridiculous. Right let's do it. Okay so this is from the Concerned Otter. Hello the Concerned Otter. Big fan of the pod, you keep long days days at work entertaining even if you are talking about Mickey drips. Oh well. I'm writing as I'd like to I mean I'm taking that as a the Mickey drips chats gone on too long I'm writing as I would like some advice from you both as parents well I don't know if you've been listening concerned daughter but I really have covered myself in shame in that regard I'm happy to try. I have a daughter who is six

years old has joined the Scout Club be Beavers. All the kids she goes with are from other schools and have their own friendship circles. This doesn't seem to bother my daughter. She gets stuck in and isn't conscious of the fact that she's from the outside. She is the outsider. Later this month is her first campout without parents I may add and I for one am very concerned to say the least. Should I be not allowing my own need to be accepted in friendship circles get in the way of the fact that She doesn't seem this doesn't seem to bother her her confidence makes you so proud of her Am I being too irrational by putting my fears of social situations and friendships onto her experience when she really isn't getting worried by this By this herself the last thing one is to develop the same feelings

I have with such like would love to know go know your guys opinion from the concerned otter. Yeah, well the concerned otter. Number one, I've actually, yeah, had this feeling a little bit recently myself for the few things. Like number one, I think the first thing as a parent is that feeling of when you're watching your kid going into any sort of situation,

like a social situation or a club situation and they feel they look so small and they look so daunted by it. We've recently been on Saturday taking Grace to a club in the morning and you see her, but like your daughter, she just gets stuck in and she sort of makes friends and she's going through a phase where she's just, do the go through a phase where they like work out what emotion like she all the time comes up she goes daddy I'm a little bit nervous and I'm like and then she just yeah and then you're like and I think she's just found out what the word nervous and quite likes it which I still do to this day but I think I think

the thing I worry about is how many times I stopped doing things. And even when I was sort of early teens or whatever, and I pulled out things because, you know, because of social circles or I was worried about fitting in or whatever. And I think like I look back now and some of that probably anxiety was passed generationally down. So I think if your daughter, I think there's just something to be said I look back now and some of that probably anxiety was passed generationally down. So I think if your daughter, I think there's a certain thing to be said about someone who

can go into a social situation and like your daughter does at the moment and not feel daunted or intimidated by the fact that she's not in a social circle and actually just flourish and just think, fuck it. Because I think we lose that as we get older a little bit. We start, you know, if you hear, for example, you know, some you're going to go to a thing or even it happens with commit comedy, I think you set up a gig and there's a group of people who get together a lot and know each other really well.

You do feel like an outsider then. And it's like, you know, it's tough thing to break into. And you sort of think back. So I think it's it's, you know, I mean, I think if she wants to go, I think you should let her go. And I think it's an exciting thing sometimes to actually sort of look at your kid and go, maybe this is it. Maybe I learn a little bit from them. Like the things that we can, they can teach us, maybe infinitely more important than some of the old dribble that we try and teach them. And I think actually just picking up those little things

along the way and remembering what it is to get that sense of wonder and that sense of kind of not giving a fuck what people think is important. So maybe take a leaf in that book and let us know how she gets on. I hope she has a great time. Much love, my friend. I hope that worked. I was very stuttery there.

Well, you know, it was it was a long old walk for essentially one point, wasn't it? But the but I would say I've got some great news for you, concern daughter. You don't have a problem. There's nothing to worry about just let her go it's absolutely fine it's great it's good she's not she's not got any issues with it just congratulations man this is great news just let her go and do it I actually would go as far as to say you

know I think Tom did make a good point about not giving a fuck because I think people underestimate how much not giving a shit what people think about you would add to your happiness. It's almost immeasurable how much better your life would be if you stopped giving a shit what people thought about you. How you dress, how you dance, how you eat, how you talk, what you're like in social situations. The truth is, if you get like Tom and I have to the point where we've had complaints into the podcast, if you get like super negative and go,

oh my God, everybody thinks I look like shit and blah, blah, blah, it's a form of narcissism. Do you know what I mean? It's like a form of ego. The truth is nobody is thinking about you. They're just thinking about themselves you know and so I think not only should you celebrate what your daughter's doing and let her just get on with it but as Tom said take that on board stop giving a

shit man it really is really good to stop giving a shit about what people think about it it's liberating feels amazing try it try it like from this moment stop giving a shit. It's so good It's great and you can't always do it you know there have been times and I've given a shit mainly when I'm looking at the Spotify feedback on this podcast, but Essentially, you know stopping giving a shit is like it's freedom man And it's as easy as just deciding you're gonna stop right now. So good luck to you. Hope it goes well. My guy.

say orangutan and I'm not going to chastise you for saying that, but it is orangutan. Orangutan. Yeah. So everyone's got it wrong, there's no G in it. No, not everyone's got it wrong, I don't think everyone's saying orangutan. I've also heard orangutan. I know you have, but it's a leap to then say everybody's. I've never heard anyone call orangutan. You've never said orangutan. I've never heard anyone say that. Well, you don't have to say it like doing that with your mouth. You just sort of throw it out. Orangutan.

I had a bit of celery in my teeth. I find that very hard to believe. Okay, here's the here's the email. Dear Wolf and Al. I wanted to say how much my husband I don't know what you think about this. So I wanted I wanted to say how much my husband and I love the pod and let you know that when we go to the gym and face the cold plunge, I go down the steps saying Tom Davis, Tom Davis, Tom Davis, Tom Davis Davis and my husband says

Ramesh Ranganathan Ramesh Ranganathan Ramesh Ranganathan. He gave us the strength to get in. It's become a strange little ritual anyway thanks for being you and lots of love the blonde orangutan what do you think? Oh mate that makes me feel fucking so special that's an incredible thing. I would say your husband's picked the hard of the two in terms of a mantra and a charm Yeah, I mean, yeah, it's actually Even I can say they're very quick To be fair it sounds cool if you get into a rhythm

Yeah, but mate it's got so if you get I can't even say that oh god have I got something wrong with me? Tom Davis, Tom Davis, Tom Davis, Tom Davis, Tom Davis, Tom Davis, oh god. I hate finding out new things to worry about. But as I said, don't give a sh- I can't say Tom Davis repeatedly, quickly. Tom Davis, Tom Davis, Tom Davis, Tom Davis, Tom Davis, Tom Davis, Tom Davis. That's what I mean, it's an annoying name to say. I genuinely hate my name. I hate my name. I hate my name. But as I said, don't give a sh... Well, I can't say Tom Davis repeatedly, quickly. Tom Davis, Tom Davis, Tom Davis, Tom Davis, Tom Davis, Tom Davis, Tom Davis, Tom Davis, Tom Davis, Tom Davis. That's what I mean, it's an annoying name to say.

I hate my... I genuinely hate my name. Oh, why are you being... why are you getting down on yourself? No, no, no, it annoys me. What's wrong with you, little cub? Why do you not like your name? It's such a boring name, don't you think? Okay, let's just workshop a name right now. What do you want? Flynn. I think you should do something Asian.

Go on, give me an Asian name. Give me something that suits me. Rahul DeRogera. Rahul DeRogera. I love Rahul as a name. I own Rahul as a name. Yeah. That would make me so fucking... Hey, what's your name, Tom? Let's just run it now. This is me walking into, yeah. Hi, how are you doing, you all right?

What's your name? My name? Yeah. My name is Chili Chill. Oh, well. It's sort of a nickname because I once ate like three ice cubes at the pub, and so everyone's called me Chili Chill since then.

What's your name name fella? Tom Davis Well, that sounds good you Tom Davies from murder successful Well, how come you didn't get a Romesh running an open to be a guest in there? Because he was talking about how much should be like a good mate is of yours, but yeah Yeah, the trouble with it with one measure I think you'd have tried to sort of be too cool on it if you get to know Romesh very much like yourself, Jimmy He's a very cool hip, dude Yeah

If you wouldn't mind me saying if you don't mind me sort of breaking the fourth wall For a second. We've done some pretty adventurous role plays in our time on this podcast I wouldn't say the most imaginative one has been you walking through them and introducing yourself by your real name. In terms of putting yourself out there. Right let me try it now but with my new name Rahul. Rahul. Rahul. What? Are we doing it? Are we going from where? What's your name fella? Hey yo, I'm Rahul. Okay, it's Rahul. Yeah, but it feels like I've got another... Tom, Tom, Tom. It's not a fair experiment because the way...

You went like this. What's your name? Tom. Tom Davies. What's your name? My name is Rahul. Like, you did it like fucking the cat from Puss in Boots. Even when they call your name on, and you're doing standup and they call your name, I sometimes find that like, oh God, this is. No you don't, why are you making stuff up? No, I'm sweating, right.

I cannot think of a more, Tom Davis is such a genuine, right, Rob Beckett's a cooler name than Tom Davis Sean Walsh Catherine Ryan D. Be honest. They're cooler names. Do you mean that's what I'm happy about What's cool about Rob Beckett? I mean listen, Rob Beckett is cool. No, but I don't think it's a really cool name It's a fucking great name. I Got my right nut for a name up Rob Beckett. Why didn't you cut? Why didn't come with a showbiz name then? I've got my right nut for a name like Rob Beckett. Why didn't you come up with a showbiz name then?

I don't know, yeah, but that's like Flynn Davis or something like that, Shane Davis. Flynn Davis? Yeah, fuck it. Tom, listen, I love you, mate. You can't pull off Flynn, I'm sorry. Really? You can't pull off, you, Flynn.

Flynn, you, you haven't got any locker. What about Shane? Shane Borderline, I think you'd have to change a few of your mannerisms. But I think that by having a different name, I think that would automatically make you would have grown up different. Do you know what I mean? Dave Davis? Dave Davis?

Dave Davis is shit. David Davis. David Davis. Is that what you want your name to be? David Davis. No, I'm saying. No, but I'm seeing what name would suit me. It's not fucking a hard thing.

James? James? I think you could put James Davis. And then people call you JD. your name to be David Dave Dave Dave. I'm seeing what name would suit me. It's not fucking a hard thing. James James. I think you could put James Davis and then people call you JD. Yeah, that would be cool. Hmm. Kevin, you know, I've got Kevin in me.

I don't I'm struggling to figure out what your issue is with your name because we're coming up with other suggestions. You come out of Kevin. No, I thought I could carry off Flynn Flynn I've fucking had that my back pocket for years and now I think it's a bit late for you to do it it's much like a hair transplant that should pursue you do you mean public yeah but is there a cool name that you could put a little Tom you could pull off it or if you want to be Flynn day in fact why don't you call yourself Flynn Davis from now on

so I introduced himself do I from now on so I introduce yourself Do I think obviously you can't introduce yourself as Flynn you guys people go to all right Tom and you go actually Mates call me my mates will be Flynn. Let's try Okay, I'm gonna try for a week. So I got no let's do it right now Okay, okay. Okay. Who am I that doesn't matter? Okay? Oh Hey man, hello, how are I? It doesn't matter. Okay. Oh, hi, man. How are you? Okay, man. Hello. How are you? How's it going? Cool party, isn't it? It's a cool party. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's pretty pumping. Did you see that dancer earlier? That guy and his son. Yeah, I did see that. That Rick Ash. Yeah, he's fucking amazing. Just a quick one. Look, I don't know if you,

I'm about to say I don't know if you're aware, I know you're aware because I saw you over there, but there's a buffet here. And I couldn't help noticing, I actually didn't think the amount of food that you took was sustainable for the number of people here, if you don't mind me saying this. Listen, can I just say,

there's nothing worse than being at one of these events, getting over to the buffet table and all the scotch eggs are gone, and you haven't had any of them. No sure but what you are doing is you're inflicting that on other people aren't you? Because... Yeah but the buffet my friend is survival of the fittest. If you sleep on a buffet it will fucking sleep on you. When I saw you put...

Oh by the way how presumptuous could that be? When I saw you put 17 scotch eggs on your plate at the buffer I didn't think there you go He's he's won that because he's the fittest Yeah, that wasn't my that wasn't my instinct. Anyway, sorry. We started off on the wrong foot. Let's do you know what? I'm really sorry. I've been a little bit aggressive if you want some Scotch eggs, you want some Scotch eggs Let's let's should we read it. Should we do a redo? Let's do a redo. Hello. My name is Tim Hobson What's your name, friend? Oh, Tim Hobson.

Flynn, Flynn Davis. That's it? Yeah. Well, I wasn't christened Flynn Davis. That's my actual name. You weren't christened Flynn. My actual name is Tom Davis, but all my best friends call me Flynn.

So. So why have you introduced yourself as Flynn to me then? I mean well If anything we can quite close to having an argument and now for some reason you can hear me the way Friends all of my best friends and all the best friendships I have in my life Tim started off with an argument I think that an argument is almost like making love to a stranger When have you done that? Making love to a stranger? Yes, like dogging sites and stuff like that. Do you know what, I don't know if I like you to flim. Sounds really... Let's chalk that up to experience those couple of role plays.

And I think what's good about that, I think what's really good about that is it makes the other role plays we've done seem that much more impressive doesn't it also I'm that was a shit show I'm good at being another character yeah were you good at being Larry David in my locker hmm okay should we do one more email my G let's do one my friend I my G? Let's do one more, my friend. I don't think I've ever been this hot before. Fucking hell. I might have to start recording these outside. Do you know what?

The last thing, your sound quality on the internet, fucking hell, will you just have a bit of modesty? I'm just, no one's gonna see it. Okay, to the wall for now. Hope all is well with you and your families. I've been re-watching the new Star Wars content like Ahsoka and Andor. I wondered if you, Ramesh, have showed any of the animated series to your children, considering you said in the past that you're a Star Wars fan.

And for Tom, are there any movie blockbuster franchises that you've really loved or become obsessed with? Star Wars has always been that franchise for me because of the contrast between the light and dark side of the force What that translates to in real life love your content as always may the force be with you the peaceful turtle You know what I went back and watched I was have you seen a documentary about Christian Christopher rave no oh Wow Wow What guy what legend mm-hmm like so I went back and watched all those Supermans. We talked about it weirdly as well. Yeah, we did.

We talked about it for quite a while, yeah. Yeah, it's actually, you watch them with a bit more sadness now, because actually the first, I think the second one's one of the best it feels ever, it's incredible. It's one of the best superhero films ever made. It's a great superhero film. The one bit of it, so did you, have you watched it recently? Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's one bit that that if somebody could tell me this is comic book accurate

I'd love to know because I find it very hard to believe it is but it's one particular bit where they're in Superman's fortress in the Arctic or the Antarctic where it is and One of them comes running towards a current which one it is and Superman like pulls off You know I'm talking about yeah and it turns up into this like big plastic sheet and sort of wraps around them what kind of what fucking power is that what is that it's a beautiful bit of that's a hell of a tailor. I remember even as a kid thinking yeah but Superman's power is not that he knows some really good people in textiles.

What is? He obviously does. It's like when he's got his suit put together, someone's going, oh by the way with the S, if you ever need it, you throw that around someone that fucking... Sorry Tom, this guy has got super strength, laser all the time. Who made Superman? Has there never been any of the Superman suits? Where he actually goes and designs his suit? Or is he? I've never seen... Well, has he designed his suit? I don't know actually.

I mean I've not watched all the Superman films so it's very difficult for me to comment. I'm rather Marvel. You're a Marvel guy aren't you? Except for Batman. Batman is elite. Yeah. Anyway, franchise one that Rocky Rambo. Yeah. I'm a Stalone guy. All the Stalone ones. Yeah. All the Stalone ones. What do you think of Stalone? Tango and Cash. Oh mate, I love Tango and Cash. Tango and Cash is an underrated film, can I just say. It's great. Over the top. Stalone was a fucking G, man. Stalone. Yeah. I mean, who makes an entertaining film about arm wrestling? Not Sebastian Stalone, I can tell you. Over the top, shit. Yeah, I mean who makes an entertaining film about arm wrestling? Not Sylvester Stallone, I can tell you, over the top shit. No, I'm joking, it's a joke, I just did that deliberately. I love Sylvester Stallone, he's got a vibe man, I like him. Tango and Cash is really good. Yeah, it's a good film. Have you ever seen a film called Starman? Jeff Bridges? I think I have.

God, he's literally, I watched it, I watched it as a kid and I rewatched it recently. It's fucking amazing. Jeff Bridges. Anyway, welcome to two idiots vaguely remember films I might have seen. Anyhow, is Star Wars your go to? No. I do like Star Wars but I don't think I have a go to really. But I do like the Star Wars films, I do like them. How have you sat with the boys and watched it? So, no, I've not sat with the boys. When I say I've not sat with the boys, I'm not sat with the boys,

but Theo and I have been known to enjoy a bit of Star Wars. We watched some of the TV series, we watched the Obi-Wan series. I watched Andal without him. And he's watched some of the animation and sort of recommended stuff to me. So we're in. We are in. It's a sweet thing that you've got. It's a really sweet thing. We went to the two younger ones, myself and Lisa, went to watch the new Jurassic Park film. I know this is a bit of a... I went to watch the new Jurassic

Park film. What's it like? Well, I just thought I thought it was missing something. And that thing it was missing was a big, lovable galoot. The sheer amount of publicity of that film, it's made a billion pounds. And then Catherine turned to me the other day, and Catherine went, oh, you know what?

I keep thinking you probably should have done that film. Oh, gosh. She didn't say that, did she? Yeah, she did. I just sat there and was like... Did she know you at all? Yeah. I didn't talk for about three days after.

I was absolutely crushed. I was like, yeah, that's what I said at the time. Anyhow, I digress. Is it really good? I'll never be able to watch it because it's just going to break my heart. It's fine. I love, by the way, the Jurassic Park movies. Me too.

I'm a big fan of that. Actually, that is a franchise I'm into. But Tom, what I would what would say is that you don't need to be in that film man. You've got your own path You know yeah, but the by path would have been so if I could have been a dress at part with you The fucking I mean so much. Yeah, what what further offers you gonna get because you play the D rex. I just don't I Don't honestly don't It doesn't matter matter. Voicing a grumpy fucking dinosaur. Rawr! Rawr! Bloody hell I'm pissed off. You're exploiting a bloody island aren't you for your own, your own, your own ends and get in the middle of this film, it's man versus greed, you know?

That's, yeah. And the special effects are gonna be incredible, right? I'm asking you about this thing. It's like fucking asking about a girl that you split up with and her new boyfriend. Well, look, what's worse, turning down Jurassic Park or never being considered for it in the first place because that's where I'm at right turning down's worse why I'm not even in the conversation bro nobody on

that film has even fucking heard of me I'm not saying that I deserve to hear them at least by the way your name's not garbage your name isn't garbage well they're probably thinking let's get him in if we keep thinking that might have been it. It for what? The chance, and that'll be it. What chance? You're doing a stand, like you're smashing it.

Don't be a dickhead. I'll spank you. That's what I said to Lisa. Don't run away like she did. Let me tell you something. You ever fucking come to me with some grinding moments? I ain't going nowhere. I know you will.

I'm not going anywhere but home. Right, Tom, it's about that time, could you take us out of here? Life's funny in the summer, why? Where do you look for reflections? In mirrors, but mirrors get hot, the sun gets on and you can't really see clearly. I guess that's the thing about weather changing, it's very much like life moving forward.

Sometimes you see clearly. Blue sky friend! No clouds. And sometimes, just sometimes, the clouds, well, they rain in. And all of a sudden, what felt like a clear vision or a clear path is somewhat polluted, and you can't see the end of the garden. Truth becomes truth only when lies are thrown into the mist. Someone told me that once, I can't remember the name, but he had a three-stellar and a smell of cigarettes. The truth about life is, it's easy to steer through clear days, run a ship on steady water.

But sometimes the making of a human being is when you're going through a storm. Nay, when the waves thrash down on you and the rain blights your way. When you get to the destination at the end and someone turns around and says how was the journey here? If you say hmm, easy, you don't really feel like you've earned it. But if you say by God we're up against it, we were thrashed, we were volleyed and we were thrown, but we got here anyway. Well, for that moment then you feel that all the merits were deserved so in short what I'm saying is

the ups and downs may feel tiresome but never get tired of the journey Oh, destination? Yeah, there we go. Really nice. Thank you. The clips, JT, have brought out a brand new album called... What's it called? I don't know if you know the word. Let God Sort Them Out. There's a song called Inglourious Basterds. The whole album is a Romi recommend though.

Thank you so much for listening to what I'd say describe this as a lower energy episode of the wall for now. Yeah. And a real lesson in, you know, role plays sometimes work sometimes they don't so heat stroke is he's a thing. And my t shirt now you can see my t shirt started here when we started the podcast and now it's just sort of slowly becoming a v neck.
