Then podcast, the body parts get severed and sirk.
Bring your weak shit, where the wolf are nowler.
That ain't just a mistake, that's an awful howler.
Both of them are known to pull up at your shows.
Have the crowd witnessing a murder like they rolled in with a gang of crows.
Fuck the censorship, let them see the whole thing.
They stay dressed to kill, never sheep's clothing.
Dark enough to turn the sun to the moon.
You'll see nothing.
All your hear's a huff-a-puff and a...
Expect killings, red spilling and flesh ripping.
Impressive in it.
The death bringing its head spinning.
Just kidding.
every word in his songs about two grown men dressed up as a bird and a dog
uh welcome welcome welcome to the wolf welcome to the wolf now i'm in a bit of a difficult
situation because hyper secretive well it's not hypersecretive but i'm at disney um the kids are getting
ready so i've come downstairs to the lounge i've turned the disney tv down it's
in the lounge well hold up what is that a lounge that everyone can use yeah yeah
had to get away from there.
Otherwise, they'd be like Lisa and the kids
walking in the background naked.
Not getting ready, that's just how we operate, do I mean?
The Salamanathan's role in holiday.
Well, we tend to go nude, do you know,
before we hit the parks?
Then sometimes we go topless out of the parks.
It just depends.
You know what Lisa's like at Epcot?
She goes absolutely wild.
Just in the mere whiff of Donald Duck
just drives her absolutely crazy.
Yeah.
What is that, like really old-school Disney cartoons
on the background?
Yeah, they've got like a thing in here
where they just, I think it's like,
I think I'm just bitten there
so there's going to be people coming in.
How long have you been there now?
I've done a week.
We've got a week left, yeah.
Have you had a break from Disney
until since you've been in?
Yeah, or has it been Disney every day?
We went shopping Monday
right at the Orlando Vineyard Mall.
And I think this moustache
is throwing people off
because I keep getting people like going
on more than one occasion
I had people going, is that Ramesh?
No, it can't be.
look at him.
You're American fans or the UK fans?
There was loads of British people at the shopping centre
and they were like, and then I got loads of messages after us going,
was that you?
So I think I've managed to sort of negotiate a disguise.
Yeah.
But anyone who's an abjects, like a big fan of yours,
knows it this moustache vibe's been for a while now.
I mean, the moustache is so good with that arson shirt.
It shows you how long it takes for these things to permeate.
You know, people still see me as a beard guy, you know?
Yeah, yeah.
And also, what are you using in your beard, by the way?
I've been using, like, a Tom Ford thing.
That smells quite nice.
Mm, really nice.
It's really good.
I'm just wondering, you're just looking on, tip-top.
Well, I found a guy who really knows what he's doing with it.
Can I show you a photo?
So I sent a photo to, you know, Rob Percy.
Yeah.
I sent him a photo.
DJ, extraordinary, friend of the show.
I sent him a photo of me on holiday.
And he said to me, you look like the Garth NWA and the Posse.
Let me just show you this photo, Tom.
Oh, my God.
God, that's not you.
It's not me, but I mean, it could be me, couldn't it?
Yeah, there's another lookalike of you that's floating around
that someone sent me an insane one.
There's quite a few.
Since you've had the moustache, it's almost that it's more people that look like you.
I think it's the moustache and the mullet, the mullet, is it?
The mullet's very cool.
As is that arsulcher, as last year's asshole, it's very cool that show.
This is the Ian Wright one.
Yeah.
And we've seen the new third kit?
Yeah, I have.
I can't really say anything negative about West Ham
because of part of that kit lodge
but it's just, I will say that it's not quite up to Arsenal
and United Liverpool, Bournemouth.
Well, look at the people, they've got involved in the advertising campaign
and that tells you everything, isn't it?
It's a low, yeah, yeah, they've really reached.
They've just done open casting.
Ray Winston or Danny Dyer Clee wasn't around for that part, that little bit.
And also, I just want to say congratulations, man,
on the Ivy Ellis sponsorship.
So when did that come about?
Mate, have you had Ivy Ellis socks?
Have you used it?
Have I had them?
Ivy Ellis socks.
Like, I love a pair of shorts in the summer.
You're not a short guy, are you?
I'm wearing shorts now.
Yeah, yeah, but you don't wear shorts
in and around businessmen.
I like a pair of shorts, but I like to, I like a sock.
The older I've got the more, I like a sock that speaks for itself,
a sock that stands loud and firm and says,
yo, I'm in this game.
No. No, no, I've paid. I've bought the socks.
Okay.
And, yeah, so I found them online.
I just like what they're about.
They look very cool with a pair of sabres and Eddie, that's a pair of kicks.
They look great with a pair of Birkenstock, the clogs.
But it's a good look.
Yeah.
It's a very sweet, sweet look.
If you're wearing trainers and shorts, are your socks visible?
Yeah, always.
Or I go the really, really disappearing, the invisible sock.
I never go those, the ones that you wear the little ankle ones, don't you?
No, I don't.
No, I don't. No, I don't.
Although I have, I tell you what I have done.
I have worn trainer socks where they've just been slightly too long.
And so you can just sort of see, it's like a little sort of, sort of teasing kind of rim around the top of the train.
Yeah, yeah, like a stock cleavage.
You've got to be careful of that stuff.
I know.
I see, I got it wrong for years.
I see people
and it's a very like
you either see the sock
and you're proud of the sock
and the sock does a lot
to carry some of your leg
or the socks
completely redundant
you don't see it
but it's doing its work
quietly on the inside
okay but the problem with those socks
the problem of those socks
is like if the shoe's not
doesn't this is so boring
isn't it but if the shoe
doesn't fit you properly
then it just keeps pulling on the heel
and then it just keeps rolling up
like a sort of a Johnny
I mean I shouldn't really say that
doesn't it but yeah you've got to be careful
You've got to be careful. Can you swear at Disney?
Well, I actually have become sort of conscious of my swearing.
And so I said to the kids that I'm not going to swear at all on this trip.
So far, I've been there a week.
I've sworn twice.
Wow.
Yeah.
What brought the swears?
I was on a roller coaster.
I dropped an F-Boh.
Yeah, everyone swears on a roller coasters.
And then there was some quite ferocious.
The weather out here is like, it's either absolutely roasting or there's like a apocalyptic storm going on.
So I did drop the, I did drop as far away.
Someone's coming into the lounge behind you, mate.
Someone's coming to the lounge behind you.
Hold up.
They've heard you talking.
They closed the door.
It feels like the beginning of a murder, like a sort of serial killer thing.
I've just seen them out of the window.
They're in a t-shirt saying, parenting hell.
That's unfortunate.
Imagine that they come all the way to Disney
and you see a rival podcast when you go for the Disney lunch.
Or you just go, what are you doing, mate?
I did a podcast.
I don't know you did a podcast.
Can I say something that would make you swear?
Getting egged.
What do you mean?
I got egg this week.
What are you talking about?
I got an egg from a moving car thrown at me.
What I can only assume is, was students, six-formers celebrating their, you know, leaving school or whatever.
So where were you?
Where were you? I was just walking.
Why do you always have better stories than me?
I'm on holiday and it's like a bit hot.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, let's break down our fucking stories, right?
You're at Disneyland, right?
You've sworn twice.
You're having an amazing...
I got egged just at the road from where I live, and you're like, oh, you've got better.
That's an amazing anecdote.
Oh, what's my story?
I'm staying at Disney.
First of all, it looks completely out of touch.
Second of all, oh, I've sworn twice.
That's the highlight of my week.
You got eggs?
That's the highlight of you.
I got egg, yeah.
I was going in for a day in London, had an audition,
kind of other little bits going on.
I thought I'd, you know, dressed the cordially.
Things going on.
Well, it's an audition.
Can I just tell you, boy, when I said got an audition at the moment,
I'm a fucking rain of severed.
This drastic fucking world's gone out.
I've gone into two of these auditions where people are going,
oh, it's a weird that you turn that down.
Anyway.
But you've turned it down.
It's like a...
I got dressed for the day.
I got dressed for the day.
I got dressed for the day.
Felt very, very good about myself.
God, that guy had real, fucking, yeah,
he had some vibe about him.
He's not parenting hell fan.
he yeah he looks like he listens to like Brendan Schwab he's a big UFC fan he's got he's
got Jake Humphrey high performance room all over yeah he actually walked to me like Colin
McGregor I had to double glimpse to make sure it wasn't him yeah let's not let's
not mention that guy please okay yeah so I so I get dressed I'm feeling good
about myself feeling positive about the day ahead I start walking out the street I get
about nine ten houses up for my house and then someone's
shout something to this moment, I don't know exactly what they shout, and an egg thumps me,
so it gets the back of my neck and my shirt. So I feel like saying smash me. At first,
I thought I'd been shot. I'm going to be honest with you. I thought it's a drive-by,
which I've always thought might be the way that I die. Not where you live.
Mate, you don't know, you don't know, mate. You don't know, mate. You fucking out, man.
You see, like, you know, if someone's going to get you, they're going to get you.
If I was walking near your place and I felt an impact, I'd most likely, the most likely percentage-wise
probability is a stuffed olive well it was I put my hand back I knew straight
away what had happened so yeah I'd see I've had it done to me before I I
felt the egg the yolk I felt some of the the shell look behind me a shell
on the floor completely ruined the top my top and sort of like it got into my
so I had to go back home delay the audition what was it at Berford Brown duck
it was it was I think by the looks of it was it was it
It was like a big egg.
It was a decent size egg.
Yeah.
And then, yeah, went home, got in,
I told Catherine what happened.
She kind of laughed.
I sort of had to exaggerate a bit and say,
I thought I'd been cut as well,
so she had to check.
Grace, then you've got to tell me
your fucking three and a half year old,
Daddy's been egged.
We don't have to.
Well, yeah.
She was like, why are you back?
Yeah.
And I'm like, Daddy's just coming back to change his time.
You don't have to,
don't, listen,
the respect to your kids
is something that's very limited in time.
further damage it by admitting
you've got eggs out in the street
because somebody didn't like King Gary Series 2
mate I don't think
do you know what the one hope of guys
I think it was really really early
and I think they were just looking for
someone to throw an egg at
you know what I don't think
I don't think they've been driving around looking for me
you know like in boys in the hood
where they're driving around looking for Ricky
yeah I don't think it was that
I hope it wasn't
you know
did you did you
feel um because one of the things one of the things happens in their situations is you feel like an
anger but you can't do anything with that anger because you can't catch the people because they
just drove off i said the thing where i sort of when you fuck it like that and then i just sort of
went to run after the car and then realized i wouldn't catch it and then saw them other cars
were going past laughing um for both directions so it was a convoy no no no but other cars had
seen what had happened i mean it was a i will give the person they're due it was a fucking
head of a throw.
You've got to say
Nigel Farage is right, man.
It's lawless in London.
Yeah, yeah, you're getting egged.
Do you think it was immigrants?
That's what you text me.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no.
That's what you text.
You're such a snide.
Because this is the first thing you've heard about this story.
You're such an absolute.
Just been egg by some immigrants, mate.
I'm going to go down a hotel and cause an uproar.
Hang around outside of the hotel for fucking 18 hours,
chatting things.
I'm going to give up my job and just.
Yeah, I'm going to sign on and just really make a fucking impact on it.
The protest is over.
There's still some statues and they're defending.
I was going to bang really hard on the window of a fucking holiday inn.
There's no immigrant staying here.
Just some sort of sad businessmen.
If you're going to protest something, protest bigger glasses for the orange juice,
for the breakfast.
Yeah.
Oh, right.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Anyway, sorry, what happened about the egg thing?
I've totally jumped a lot.
Oh, no.
I mean, that's it.
I got home, I got changed, flunked the audition,
made the audition all about the egg.
They were like, okay, cool.
Yeah, but that's part of the audition, you know,
what I've read, I mean, I've never been successful in an audition or will I be.
But what I've read is that you start working the room as soon as you walk in, right?
You work the room for 30 seconds to a minute.
You don't know it's been six minutes talking about egg throwing
and the sort of like how it began.
And then make, like, the fact that we're living in some of the most fucking awful times
was real fucking abject poverty and awful things happening,
sort of like globally and then you get
some big foreskin who walks in and starts talking
about getting hit by an egg like it's the worst thing's
happened. I think that's about where you go on, man.
I think you've lost touch a bit here. Some kids
are basically fucking woken
up. They're on the way to chess and word of adventures
for the day. They've brought six eggs
and they're just looking for six idiots to throw them out.
Do you know what? They've picked one.
I mean, no disrespect, but you're a big
target. Yeah, yeah. I mean, you know what?
That's probably, I wouldn't even
take it as like an insight. I would say that's
them getting their eye in.
It means that they can take out some sort of more challenging time.
Jake, Jake, get your iron on the big lad here.
Get your iron. And then we'll fucking go past
the school and take out a cut of the... It wouldn't surprise me
if they'd go on, just roll down the window.
Close your eyes. I reckon you'll still hit him.
Mate, to think he was
hanging out the window just to get that fucking shot.
He was on the other side of the road, by the way.
He had to throw it across the other
one lane.
What do you think of that?
behaviour. Look, I think number one, I know how this behaviour works. I know that there's four of them
in a car and someone's gone, fucking nail this wanker. I know that that's happened. It's a horrible
thing, isn't it? Because like, you and I are very similar, right, in our late 40s, but still
like to think we've got some sort of semblance of calls. You know, I mean, we're in touch.
But the truth is, young people think we're just the same as everyone else. We're just old,
Theo's age, school leavers.
Dusty pricks.
Yeah, what I've got his driving license.
Someone else has just gone, right.
I've got six eggs.
Yeah.
Do you know what I mean?
They were quite fresh eggs.
They didn't smell rotten.
That's right.
That's a small mercy.
And I think that shows you,
there is still some hope for the youth.
We used to drive around when I was a kid
and shout things at people,
which is arguably worse.
I actually remember one of the coolest things I ever did.
I was friend zoned by this girl,
but she picked me up on where we were not.
I was really sort of right.
So far, no unsurprising information.
But go on.
Let's get to the mother's story.
presser and as we were driving down and um we've been to the cinema and had sort of like a half
filled uh thing of coke and we were driving past we drove past a bus stop and there was a bin and
you know like the little bit the bin with like little apins four sides and it's got the little
sort of envelope thing and uh i said something and i was like uh i don't want any more this coke
and i'm going to throw it out and i threw the coke and it went into the bin and i was like
did you see that did you see that and she was like no i was looking at the road and the bin
but if you turn around now
you could go
the fucking Coke
were in the bin
what did you want to do
turn around
and see the bin
with coconut
no no
yeah
she would have said
it because it was in the bin
yes I'm saying
you could do that throw
a thousand times
and unless you're fucking
in both of them
you know what I mean
you'd fucking
chugger to make it
or Freddie Fred
and you know that's why
that's why I think
we're still in touch
it's because
when we're referencing
a good throw
we're using Ian Botham
that's what
That's what shows me that I'm fingers still firmly on the pulse.
Bloody hell, I did a thing the other day,
made the kids really laugh.
I felt like Charlie Chaplin.
I felt like Buster Keaton.
Honestly.
So basically over here, before we came over here,
we read the weather reports and like it's like 40, over 40 here, right?
Like most days, right?
So you have to be like careful with hydration and all that.
But one of the things is a big problem.
Do you bring your electrolytes, Majors?
Yeah, we did actually.
So one of the big problems we got is, is as you,
I don't know if you have this problem, but I do have this problem,
is your T-shirt looking disgusting early daughters.
That is, that is a real literal dampener on events
when you're just walking around looking like you're wearing a kebab rapper.
So I was like,
so I was like, what do I do?
So I basically brought all of my Arsenal shirts with me, right?
But the problem is now, I mean, I've even done stand-up about this.
I'm now a guy going around Disney every day in an Arsenal shirt, right?
And one of the things I didn't realize is how much football banter at least, obviously, right?
So the other day we get into the lift.
I'm getting a lift on my own.
and a kid sent me downstairs like a butler to get some snacks for them.
So I get in the lift to come up and this guy goes, oh, after you.
I would say, by the way, I love those moments, how old.
Just add time on your own when you're sent to a mission for the family.
Yeah.
I go to the shop.
I'm very paranoid that I'm getting it wrong or whatever or like, do you know what I've got the wrong snacks?
I've got really in my head about it.
I feel like you feel like you've important, like you're the, you know, that's your sort of job.
Like, you know, almost like a caveman.
You're going to find a cat, you're a hunter-gatherer.
It's nice to say this, Tom, because the other day we're having a conversation when we're in the queue for one of the rides,
and we talked about what might happen if one of us died, either Lisa or I.
And Theo said, and I direct quote, we'd miss you, but in terms of the effect on our parenting, I would say it would have zero percent effect.
Wow, geez.
And then he said, I don't mean that in a bad way.
That means that he means it really sincerely.
Yeah, that means he really means it.
Anyway, so I'm going to let's start.
I do love Theo.
That was something for me to...
I do love Theo, but I will say, out of all your boys,
I love the fact that my relationship with Theo is at the level it's at.
I don't know if I could...
I don't know if my mental health could take more of them in the relationship with Theo,
where Theo is going to pick up on all of my frailties.
Well, what I would say is, if I was to pass away,
which would have zero effect on the parenting,
Theo would definitely be able to take my place on this podcast.
He's got the...
Yeah, like...
Yeah, but also, by the way, I can...
Our relationship, getting slammed by you is one thing,
because I think we're a very equal fucking thing.
Fio is infinitely cooler an eye.
If I talk Fio, the egg story,
he just absolutely pissed himself laughing and going,
oh man, I really want to throw an egg at you myself,
you'd be duff bag.
Well, the other thing is,
is that when I sort of having to go at you,
you know, there's an underground,
there's a bedrock of like respect and love,
whereas I don't think you'd feel that with Theo.
No, it'd be cold.
Yeah.
The other thing he did was,
we were coming back from,
we'd got an Uber somewhere else yesterday.
We're coming back into the Disney hotel
and they asked me to get my
room key out and he was in my wallet
which is in my bag
and I couldn't find it in my bag
and so I was like, look at it
I know, this is exactly what he did
so I start looking around in my bag
and he was in the back going
oh no, oh no, oh no
it was just so...
I'm with Theo there.
It was so embarrassed.
I don't know why I think like there's a cool
when a woman's looking for a handbag
there's a sort of almost like coolness to it
when you see a man hunting through a bag
sort of as soon as he undoes the zip
to open the bag
it's like he's opening
sort of all the anxiety
that rests inside of him
so then he's just like anxiously looking at
I've never seen a man call him for a bag
oh yeah there it is
yeah the other thing that happened
oh gosh Frank
shaking like he's diffusing a bomb
the other thing that happened is that
I then in trying to pull my wallet
out I pulled one of my
I pulled my main debit card out of my wallet
and it fell into my bag
and then when we got into the hotel
went to pay for something
something and I couldn't find the card.
And I said, Lucy, you're going to have to pay for this.
And she had to say the words to me,
okay, Rommish, please try not to panic.
Because I, I,
I,
I,
it's like they're waiting for their grandparents.
Oh, darling, no, no, no, sorry, sorry,
we'll, we'll pay for that a minute.
It's okay, don't panic.
It's probably,
it's probably come out of your wallet.
it when you were going through your bag or when you're all anxious in the car.
That is what?
Theo just turned around and going, I can't do this anymore.
Yeah.
Do you know what?
The worst thing was, then I'm starting going to start going,
well, I'm going to have to order a new card.
They're not going to get it out to America,
so I'm going to have to wait until we get home.
You're going to have to transfer money to your account.
It's just in my bag.
It's just in my back.
Look first.
Have you?
Just have a look in your bag.
Honestly, babe, have a look in your bag before you completely implode.
You know what's worse than the implosion?
is the rush of adrenaline and euphoria I'd found it.
So then that's even more of a nick
where you go, God, bloody hell, it was just in my bag.
God, sorry, Lisa, thank you so much for seeing me to do that.
No, no, that's cool.
I just think, I think we need a bit of perspective and the tears.
I think you've got a bit of a magic touch.
You just, you knew it was in my bag
and you said it was in my bag and I didn't believe you, but it was.
If I could say one thing, darling, before this happens again,
it's just the tears and the shouting and the spitting
just felt unnecessary.
where do you yeah and just going
Catherine has a go out of me I do this thing
I go from one to a thousand
emotionally I'm wrecked and then
then I find the thing or the thing's resolved
within minutes because it's
not a big thing and then I'm like
oh and I'm relaxed and I've won the
World Cup and Catherine's like yeah
why are you like that that was such
and as necessarily even grace
now just raises her eyebrows when I'm like that
yeah Lisa just said to me after she
goes I'm glad you got your card
and I think we've probably have to wait for
next birthday before we you know do any sense yeah yeah yeah yeah oh hello who have we got here
oh wow is that is that a cleaner yeah it was just a nan a wholesome she looked like a
wholesome american nan no well i can't say this i can't comment right now yeah what's by the way
can i say that all of the people there none of them are smart they all know but it is magical
though yeah no it's magical but no one looks like having a good time if i was to like pick the thing
I mean, you're having a great time, but everyone else there.
By the way, can I send a football shirt thing?
Yeah.
Number one, Arsenal football shirts, you're in a good place for the festival.
And I quite like the new West Hampshire.
They were very good enough to me to send, for my work I did with them,
they were like, we're going to send you the new home shirt.
They sent me the new home shirt, but have printed just my name on the back.
No number, which, name and number anyway.
So it just says Davis on the back.
like I don't think
I think there's an age limit
to having a name
a number one
it would certainly your own name
on the back of a football shirt
do I mean
having like you know
potentially you can have
if you like a player
enough you never you know
but to have your own
just your name out
doesn't that stop you
like from you
doesn't it stop you from wearing it out
of course I won't be able to
unless I've got a jacket over it
no I won't be able to wear that
around the house
well wear that around the house
look can I just say by the way
Catherine who quite likes football
has like she's not into the
she's not mine the older West Ham shirts
like some of the sort of like
this one's not bad but bad boy
it's quite a nice shirt but
now I've got my name on the back up
if I wear that man in the house she's literally
just like oh god
I am I had an unfortunate thing where
one of the shirts I brought out was a basketball
shirt from when we did rum rummish verses
and then I'm sleeveless yeah
which was a big move for me it's like I felt like
I was wearing a Wonder bra not in that way
but I just mean like I felt I felt exposed
Did you feel sex?
Yeah, my underwear.
No.
That's what Wonderbrough does it.
It makes you feel quite sex.
Yes, yeah.
Actually, to be honestly, yes, I think what you're highlighting is that Wonderbrow is a terrible example to use in this instance.
But what I mean was I'm saying, you're wearing a mini skirt, but you, yeah, but you're not sure.
But what?
Okay.
Well, you're wearing a mini skirt to a funeral.
Yeah, basically.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
What made it worse was that as I arrived at the park, it was pointed out to me that it had Ramesh across the back of it.
I actually made a fuss
Jesus
oh my God
also but can I just say that
not Ranga Nathan
not Ranga
Ramesh
that's what
that's what kids have on there
that's what kids would have on their back
before they're yeah
if you didn't know me
you go that's somebody that wants to get recognised at Disney
it's been his first name
across the neck of a shirt
or it's
oh god
that guy came here
a couple of years ago
and he lost his bank
bank card for like
six hours
and had a complete
breakdown
and he actually made
his children and wife cry
not were they
what were they worried
about the bank card
no they were just
embarrassed that he was
related to them
humiliated
I mean actually
arguably this is more humiliating
how do you have to
wear it the whole day
what am I going to do
well I could have bought
a Disney t-shirt I suppose
you'd put a Disney t-shirt
it looked cool
you get a you not
wore a Disney
I think you can
you can pull off
With the glasses, nice cap,
cool pair at your board shorts.
By the way, I've got some nice board shorts now.
They're quite in.
And a pair of, like, trainers.
Well, that's the end of you suggesting I'm wearing board shorts
and if they're actually in.
Look how the tables have turned.
No, but, like, how, by the way, can I just say something?
Why are you buying stuff that's in?
Can I just ask you that question?
No, I don't.
When does buy stuff you like?
All this time you've been rinsed to me,
board shorts. Now you've been told they're in, you've decided you're going to buy some board
shorts. I'm still wearing a very high-cut thing that I can show off my long legs.
Anyway, I was about to get into a lift the other day. First of all, I keep getting Arsenal
banter and also the boys love wearing Arsenal shows. I think he's legitimate if you're a
kid. But a kid, yeah. So anyway, I'm about to get in the snacks. I've managed to it. I've got my
bank cards. I'm not, I've not had a panic or, like, got into a little tears. The guy goes
to me after you, and then I get in, he goes, and he looks at me, he goes, I'll tell you what,
wouldn't I let you get in a lift first if I don't know you're an Arsenal fan? I thought, oh, God.
And then I go, okay, who's your team? Are you spurs? And he goes, no, a team that's a little
bit of a problem for you, mate, Liverpool. And I go, okay, I didn't want to go, it's not really
a problem for me, because I'm not actually, I don't play for Arsenal or have any sort of skin in the
game but yeah okay um and i keep get we keep i keep getting that from like yeah yeah and then
i don't know why but arsul become really popular they're hated they're hated i've got like
it's a relatively recent thing and i don't want to like pin any blame on anybody but if i was to
arsenal fan tv i don't think it's helped do you i mean it was funnier when you were doing
badly i'm not talking about arsenal fan tv as in the actual arsenal i'm not talking about them
necessarily i'm talking about the the doorstepping of fans after the game when they're like highly
emotional it's just a bit like it just makes us look it's i just don't want to hear a bit muggy
like you're a bit muggy i just think like also there's a resentment because you're getting like
all the sickest like even like look liverpool fucking amazing club city but you know whatever you are
every season getting all the fucking lounge wear you're you're the looks you're getting even for like a
team at a moment on face value isn't winning anything.
You've got every year the best shirts.
I mean, you've got like, that's an Ian Wright limited edition.
You're not getting at any other club at the moment.
No, but I would say is that I don't think that a club should be celebrated for the shirts
they've got.
If you're saying to me to form of consolation, the gear's good.
But the point is, is that I personally think, right, Liverpool are going to win the league
next year, right?
I think it's almost untouchable, right?
But I just feel like sometimes fans can sound a bit spoiled.
Like, for example, if I take you, for example,
if you're a West Ham fan and you watch Arsenal fans bleating on
about what a crisis we're in,
you must just be thinking, are you joking?
Do you know what I mean?
And like, I just feel like coming second,
don't get me wrong, I know we've become a banter club
for like bottling it or whatever,
but I can't believe I said those words that I know we become a bander club.
But the thing is, it's great to be, like,
I think we're in a great place.
to be challenging for the league. We're like getting good
players. By the way, can I say at the moment you're very much
sounding like a guy who thinks his wife's going to leave
him?
Just trying to reassure himself.
Let me tell you something.
There's good reason for that.
But what I'm saying is
I'm not actually that aggrieved with her.
I actually feel quite happy for it. Neither should you be.
But can I also say... But that's what I'm saying.
What I'm saying is... I hate going into football stuff on here
because it's not football. Maybe you should do a spin-off.
We should do a spin-off.
We should do a spin-off. Yeah, because we can better... I'm in a loud.
Andreep a Disney hotel
just to make up
this hour requirement
that we have every week
you want to do an extra
spin-off
are you mad?
Anyway,
I think
my,
but I think
you're not like
it's,
I think Chelsea
are going to be
a very tidy package
this year.
I think that's
I think.
I think
City have brought well.
I think that
I'm going to end up on.
No, no, listen.
City look unbelievable.
Liverpool look unbelievable.
Chelsea look unbelievable.
There's a very real possibility.
I mean,
I think Kudis is a great signing,
by the way,
for Tottenham.
Yeah, yeah.
So, you know, I mean, how they managed to get him is unbelievable, do I mean?
But they've got like...
Give him a season and when he stops caring.
But I will say this.
The only guarantee I'll give you is West Hamill finish above all the other teams we've mentioned.
But anyway, you know what?
Do you know the weird thing of it as well is that that banter?
I find I get that banter even without a football, like when people overly do the banter.
like the big the big fellow thing
I find at the moment
it seems like it's really having to come back
at the moment
yeah that's just sort of
well it's almost like school levels
people just making a joke about being me being tall
it seemed like it went away for a bit
and now we'll be out and about
and people were sort of like
make a joke
but someone came up the other day just to get a photo
and they were like
oh my God I did not realise you were such a fucking freak
mate I don't realize you were so fucking such a freak
and I was like well tall would be
Tall would be a description you could have used quite perfectly,
I don't realize you were so tall, but freak.
Whether it's because it's sort of the end of summer
and everyone's feeling a bit crazy,
along with the egging, it's like I think that there's, you know,
and you put you wearing the Arsenal shirt,
and also, might I say, by the way,
if you're wearing a sleeve of shirt out,
your guns have got to be looking good.
No, they weren't.
They weren't.
It looked ridiculous.
There's other people they're wearing basketball shirts
and they look great.
Your arms have got to look.
You've got to be, yeah.
I know, I know so.
I know so.
I would not have the confidence to wear one.
No, but you'd wear a sleeve to stop for like,
I don't know, an online advert for your protein company.
For a protein bench.
Yeah, if I was bullied enough into it, yeah, yeah.
Every time I wear one of the sleeve of stop,
I look like literally that I'm going out to go,
I'm just going to head down to the hotel
and just sort of like scare some people
are really terrified enough as it is
by thumping against the door
and asking what the breakfast are like.
So anyway, I don't think,
I don't think I'll be doing this again in the future.
What were, what would you wear?
I don't know.
I think I should buy some, like, sports tops.
Sports tots that have got no branding on, like, yeah.
Or, or Botox myself to within an inch of my life,
so I don't sweat anymore.
Like Prince Andrew?
Yeah, basically.
Just woking it.
Yeah, you express it.
You know, what about some Cuban or Hawaiian shirts with the moustache would look sick?
I just think I've already, look, the tash and the mullet, I've already taken me down the road.
I don't want to go any further down.
I would say, by the way, if you in a fucking sick Cuban shirt would look absolutely delicious.
Well, they had a Tommy Bahama shirt in one of the Disney shops.
It had Mickey Mouse on it, obviously.
But I suggested to the boys that I wear it.
and let's just say the caribus just put on it pretty quickly.
Yeah, but you can't be wrong around like with Mickey Mouse on all your clothes now.
That can't be a thing you do.
But I would say that's a good look for you.
Your tattoos, you've got sick arm tattoos.
You don't want to show the whole arm, but give us a little bit.
So we go, fucking on, look at that.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
No.
I mean, I have been giving a little bit.
You know what I've been showing a little bit.
Yeah.
You've got a vibe to you.
By the way, I saw that.
I saw that
the trolling you got
talking about that
about the
from the Albanian dude
that was fucking full off
jeeps
it made me laugh
so much
yeah
it was an aggressive
it was an aggressive takedown
yeah
I liked it though
I didn't mind it
yeah
Right, do you want to do a couple of emails?
It's getting quite busy in here, so I'm going to have to...
Yeah, there's a vibe in there now.
Bear for one second.
Mickey Mouse, the evolution of Mickey Mouse, can I say?
It feels like he's completely off the gate.
He's, like, made so much money now.
He's just like, he's not that bothered about what he does now.
I can't remember the last time.
What do you mean?
What does that mean?
Well, like, he was massive, isn't he?
He was fronting his own cartoons,
own kids' shows.
He's not actually made anything decent for quite a long time.
Mickey himself, you, man.
Yeah, Mickey, obviously he's now fucking, he probably is
like earning money out of all the other Disney characters
and he's like king of Disney.
There's a relatively new Mickey and Mini ride at Hollywood
Studios. It's like one of the guest rides.
It's like, yeah, yeah, it's a great ride.
That's great, but he's not, he's not out there
doing, he's like he just stepped off.
He doesn't need to, does he?
He doesn't need to.
Well, yeah, no, because Grace knows you.
He is, and I'm like, he hasn't done it for the years.
Don't get too fucking invested in him.
Yeah, but I do think it's an example of like,
sort of an older head that's been around for a little.
bit going, do you know what, I'm going to step back.
I'm sure that he's him and mini are set for life.
Yeah, rather than, I don't know, doing a weekly podcast
desperately trying to cling on some relevance.
Can I say it's not long for that someone comes up
the idea of Mickey Me doing a podcast together?
Well, what I'm saying is, I think there's a strong argument
that maybe we should think about following the Mickey model
and just, you know, riding off into the sunset.
I'll tell you what, mate.
The moment we come close to Mickey Mouse, won't we will do that.
At the moment, we're scratching about.
At the moment, me and you are fucking Goofy and Donald Duck.
Let's not get ideas above our fucking station.
By the way, Goofy and Donald Duck,
if you don't think that's ideas above our station,
you're more delusional.
Who would we be?
I'd be that big, the big bad guy in the Duck Tales.
Do you know what we'd be?
Do you know, like, in one of the Disney cartoons
where they're walking along, like, by a river.
And then there's some bits of corn.
You'd be that horrible little grotty wolf that's in all of them.
No, you know the stalks of corn that's sort of dancing along with the song?
That has been up.
No, actually, there's always an hour who doesn't really do much in them.
And I swear it's a wolf, there's a wolf.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah, but again, essays basically in Disney cartoons.
Okay.
I'll talk about cartoons.
By the way, my episode of Rick and Morty was out this week.
Oh, was it really?
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Can I just say?
It's the final episode of the series.
very proud.
Right. How big's your part?
Not very big.
It's, yeah.
What do you play?
You might notice the voice, can I say.
Inspired by probably my favorite comedian.
Are you winding me out?
Nope.
You should have a watch, you what you think?
I play a Jill with Lover.
I play a Jilbert.
Can you deliver one of the lines?
Well, I mean, you've heard the voice before from,
I don't know what take they went with.
We did it quite, yeah.
Well, there was a lot of that going on.
We've got a lot of, yeah,
which got a lot of good feedback.
You've actually done an amazing thing for me
because I wasn't in Rick and Morty,
but now I feel like I am.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's incredible.
Yeah, yeah.
Thank you.
Do I seem a little bit within myself on this episode?
No, no, no.
Can I just apologise to people?
Because I am recording it.
Basically, it was this or no episode.
I actually, you're on great form.
I like this version of you.
I think we should start doing it
where you have to record all these in public places.
Well, the last time was when my flight got delayed
and I was complaining about a business class flight
taken longer than I wanted to Australia for my tour.
Hello, owl and wolf.
I have a small gripe with one of the recent episodes.
The wolf on multiple occasions mispronounced the term troll
or trolling.
And in the nicest possible way, it was unbearable.
I'm surprised the aisle didn't pick up on this
it was constant sorry for the moaning love the pod and both of you hashtag tom for taskmaster
regards to complaining cocktail the complaining cocktail is cocktail uh first of all how do you say
it troll trolled and then the verb troll and then somebody's blank somebody
Trolling.
Yeah, is that wrong?
Trolling.
Trolling.
Trolling.
Trolling.
Troll.
Troll.
Troll.
Troll.
Trolling.
Trolling.
I mean, this is going to drive them mad.
If I've got it wrong and it's made you very angry, I'm very very sorry about that, but trolling.
I thought it's trolling.
Someone's trolled me.
I don't know.
I mean, who knows?
He's a troll.
I was about to say it's a made up word, but all words are made up.
So, well, apologies if that's made you angry.
And even if this has made you angry, and maybe you should go and get elocution
lessons. Okay, what I'm going to say
now, complaining cocktail, is you've definitely
touched a nerve. No, no, no, but
I don't know how, I've said that for years. No one's ever
even, you know, even, you know, I had a troll.
I was called troll for a while. Do you what I mean?
I sort of, it's a sort of
thing that I feel like is one of those words that's
come into
parlance, God, relatively
recently, so you kind of, whoever, however you
want to pronounce is up to you, really. Do you know what I mean?
Yeah. Um, okay.
Uh, so this is a bit more of a serious one.
Okay.
I'm going to read one
that's a bit sort of complaining
but I actually understand the complaint
and the other one's a bit positive
alright hona bear with me on second
it's good to get his complaining ones out of way
oh here we go here we go here we go
um
hey guys
by the way before I've read this email
I think they've got a point okay
so I'm just going to like
so I'm just warning it
it's nothing to get upset about
but I do think they have a point
all right
okay
um hey guys I hope you well
I absolutely love you guys
I've listened to the podcast for years and look forward to each week.
However, I'm emailing because I'd really love if the conversation around weight and bodies and glow-ups eventually went away.
With weight loss jabs, the culture and conversation around weight loss is unbearable right now,
and it's really hard for various people, including those who struggle with self-esteem issues.
Fat people are okay with staying the same size, as well as people with eating disorders.
Equating someone's worth to what foods or takeaways eat or how much they are genuinely negative and worrying message to promote,
as well as suggesting you can only love yourself if you look a certain way or a certain weight.
even the notion of putting major emphasis
on being a certain health can be problematic
as many people can't be or aren't healthy
for various reasons and they're still
deserving of acceptance. I truly
understand and appreciate you guys feel like
you've gone on journeys which want to be
acknowledged, but people who love you,
family, friends or even fans, loved you before
weight loss. It's literally the least interesting thing
about either of you as it is anyone.
You're more than how you look and many of us
have listened to this podcast, a distraction to this stuff.
I don't want to appear like I'm telling you off or dictating
what the podcast should be, but it's
a really hard listen sometimes, hearing about weight loss over and over in such a flippantly
positive way when it's such a complex issue. I hope you can understand, and I'll be so appreciative
if, and I'm sure some others would be struggling would be if anything of this was taken on board.
No worries, if not, I do understand if you're free to talk about what you want.
Take care of many thanks, flow.
So, listen, what do you think, first of all?
I think it's a very at point. I think actually, weirdly, it's just a strange thing because
I don't think, either of us really talk about it in stand-up.
I think it's become a point because this is something we're on a platform here
where it's, and it is something that's, you know, we're probably more open about how we feel
and we're talking about honesty and it's not, we're not looking for, it's not necessarily
looking for material jokes.
This is a platform in which we talk about, you know, how our feelings are.
I would say, weirdly, I'd like actually had someone speak to me about this impact.
person this week, after what, you know, and, you know, and I did, I was very conscious of how I
spoke about, you know, Manjara and actually, in general, just how maybe both has came across,
like, well, certainly actually how I came across in that. And, and I wasn't trying to be flippant.
I wasn't trying to be rude. And I actually completely understand everything that this person
that Flo has said here and completely, I sort of agree with that, actually. I think it's,
is probably something that we've, you know, it is, we've, you know, like today, for example,
I don't think we've mentioned it at all and it's like something that we're, I think someday,
it's like, you know, this does, I guess the, the curse of this podcast is at times, we don't
have a structure, we don't have a format and we've very much come to this podcast in how we feel.
It's never, like, and I think sometimes, and every episode is very varied on the basis that
wherever your head is at that any one point when we switch on this computer and we start talking
I can straight away I usually tell quite quickly how where you're at and I think vice versa
and I think that sometimes we probably get that wrong a bit and I do apologise for that
I think sometimes it can probably be a bit self-congratually whatever a person from before
get involved and felt me criticised about getting a word wrong you know but I think the I think
the truth is that the one thing that I know that you and I would would never want to do is cause
any upset or offence in anything we're chatting about. We're just chatting as ourselves.
But I completely take that note on board. Again, and I do kind of want to say, when it comes
to health and any point of what I've done is never been about. I still have a lot of the same
hangups I've always had, but also I was never doing this as a thing, as a glow.
up. It was literally, and Robert was going to agree enough, mine was just a very big health
concern. It was a very big, like, you basically have to make this change. And if you don't make
this change, you're not going to be here to see you got to autograph. It was that serious. So my thing
wasn't a matter of me sitting here going, oh, I want to look a certain way. My way was a doctor
sitting me down and giving me basically this is what you have to do. And sometimes I think
actually I've probably spoken about things. I should have probably been a bit more earnest about
that or I should be more open about that
didn't necessarily feel right at the time
but also sometimes
you know and now
I think when we're both talking about things we
maybe both be a bit flippant we you know
about certain things but yeah
I mean look the truth of it is
the truth of it is it's like you know
Tom I don't want to go into details
over it because Tom's not going to do so but Tom had
like a big health scare
and you know
I got told something similar not as
radical as Tom but something similar
but the truth is you're right flow that it is not the it is not the most interesting thing
and it is the least interesting and for some people it isn't as simple as like you suddenly
change your diet and start exercising more and everything gets solved and the other thing is
that i'd be i'd want to be clear to you and i'd speak for both tom and ask me when i say this
is that the idea if you lose weight your suddenly be happy with yourself is just not is a fallacy
It's not true.
You either you find something new to fixate on
or they're still not happy with whatever you've managed to do.
And actually, the truth is, I think,
and actually I did talk about this on stage,
is that there has to be something upstairs
that you sort out in order to actually,
that's the true solution,
is to kind of work out something in your head
because you have to become sort of happy with yourself in a way.
And obviously it's about being healthy,
but at the same time, it's about,
like being happy with yourself and being kinder to yourself and I think that's something that
we can all do but listen anyway the reason we've read the email out is you make some good points
and we're very sorry genuinely um for any discomfort we might have caused so yeah thank you so much
for your email okay one more yes do one more would you very well very beautifully written an email
of that. It was very, by the way, there's another complaint about me actually here that I'd
quite like to deal with quite quickly. Dear Wolf and Al, thank you Tom for thinking of the people
that have to clean public toilets. This is in response to our public toilet discussion. I used to be
one of them and yes, I did take it personally sometimes. I always think about the consequences
of my actions, even when I've messed up and who it might affect. And I'm quite surprised that
Rom's stated these people are not being malicious. What are they being then? If you create an unnecessary
mess, someone has to come along and clean that up.
I'd just like to be as kind as considerate as possible, like you do, Tom.
Simple thoughts and actions like this would make a world a better place.
Tom, love you, brother.
So can I just deal with this?
So obviously quite annoyed with me.
I wasn't saying that it was okay to do that.
I don't know why you're laughing, Tom.
I didn't mean to say it was okay to do that.
What I meant was the person, I don't think the people are deliberately thinking,
I'm going to stick it to the cleaners by doing this, okay?
I don't think it's.
appropriate either i would never do that i do think it's disgusting i want to be clear on that but
i don't think they're doing it in a vicious way i just think they're being inconsiderate also
a crime to be inconsiderate but that's the point i'm trying to make okay and i'm sorry
really sorry i feel quite beautiful going into the end of this podcast feeling quite sorry for
yeah we need a fucking out you put a lot of pressure on the fucking roundup at the moment
yeah i know um okay hi tom and rom i'm writing to thank you for both the wolf and our podcast
It's a funny, engaging and entertaining listen,
the perfect company for my daily walk to work off
and making me Google like a fall.
However, on a much deeper level,
something completely unexpected has happened.
You've provided me with wonderful examples
of non-toxic masculinity.
Your friendship, honesty, vulnerability, kindness and humor are a genuine inspiration.
As a woman that's been surrounded by toxic and abusive examples of manhood
for most of my 56 years,
seeing you both demonstrate mutual respect and friendship
has been a revelation.
When a truly challenging period of my life began
on the 1st of January, 24.
I made a vow to myself that I would make this personal evolution, not an ending.
We're doing a lot of work on myself since,
and I'm genuinely in the most secure and confident space I've ever been.
The podcast has been an unexpected but important part of that journey.
Thank you for demonstrating you can be strong, funny and vulnerable all at the same time.
It's a gift, wishing you all the best, the oldest signet in town.
But there you go. That's nice, isn't it?
That's very nice.
All of them nice.
Yeah, they are all nice, yeah.
But I'm just saying, you know, I'm sorry about the toilet thing.
Okay, Tom, this has become, this has now become untenable for me, okay?
Is there another door then?
Is there another door in there?
There's lots of doors.
There's people behind me.
I can't really, anyway, can you please wrap this up?
Because we need to finish this.
Okay, this has become, I think I might get kicked out.
There's people looking, there's people looking over.
Okay, so.
Let me wrap this up quick and now.
Okay.
It's funny, isn't it?
A blast from the past.
An old friend he'd seen on the train that you went to school with.
Looking through the carriage, they smile at you, you smile at them.
No words exchanged. Just a nod, a casual nod.
Hey Phil, Mary, Lou. Good to see you again.
That's what you think in your head, you never get the chance to say.
Or maybe it's doing a podcast with your best friend in the whole goddamn world
and you look over their shoulder and see a cartoon mouse jumping about and think,
happy times, Mickey Mouse. Happy times.
sending you your love, brother.
Truth of the matter in life is sometimes we don't get to say the things we want to say,
have the conversations that are important.
Not every beat of your life is like Dawson's Creek,
nay, grain chill, or biker growth,
where problems, situations get resolved and wrapped up in half an hour,
send on their way to a edit suite,
where people watch them and go,
huh, that's how life should be.
Truth of the matter is entertainment is a different thing
from the reality than which we all live.
And sometimes the things that we wish that we said and wish that we did can rest hard in our stomach.
Late at night, four in the morning when you're awoken, you just lay there in bed thinking,
maybe I should have said this, I should have said that.
Hey, you know what, Phil from school spattered my hair once.
I said nothing.
Does that make me the fall?
The truth is, Phil's probably forgotten about it.
Life moves on.
The waves of time pour across the beach of our life.
and then as time passes forward and forward
you hold on tomorrow and before you know
you have a stomach full of fucking memories
that you can't ever really let go
and all I can say is very much
let them go
truth of the matter is
the only thing that they're anchoring
is your own potential
your own voyage
so every time that you see
someone from the past
or think of something that once happened
and it makes you angry
let out a sigh
let out a blow
hey the bruges are still there
the scars still show
but you know you what
you owe yourself a clean
and better day
and one more step
on the road
called you
stay true
really nice
and I sort of had made it clear
that I need to wrap up
and you've done possibly the longest final thought
we've ever done in the history of this podcast
so thank you for that level of consideration
JT
I recently interviewed Be Real from Cyprus Hill
and I told him that my favorite Cypress Hill song
was Psych a bit of Buckdown
and he really opened up
and it was an amazing moment
so please can we play that out
play the podcast out with that.
Tom Davis, thank you so much.
God bless you, friend.
I think I'm going to be asked to leave the premises.
I'll see you soon, guys.
Hey, take care.
Stay Disney.
Bye.
Bye.
You're like Michael
Halloween character
or computer wizard
Hit you with the blizzard
Catch your circuit with my scissors
Short circuit cross wire
You're in the crossfire
You get blasted
You're dumb ass blasted
See you need the data
Better I say data
You're looking at the tribe
You're a hater
Coming from inside me
To come better
Or should I say rather
Together I'm gonna set you
