Yo, yeah, what do you want, beak or jaws, feathers or fur, sharp teeth or feet with claws, whatever's preferred, they'll grant you all last request to steady your nerves, then podcast the body parts get severed and serped.
Bring your weak shit, wear the wall for now, 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 their 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 ears are huffer 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 song's about two grown men
Dressed up as a bird and a dog
Manchester
Are you ready
I need you to fill this place
With nice and go wild
And crazy
for your guys, the wolf.
And now!
Boom!
Yes, Manchester!
Yes, yes, yes.
Hello friends.
Hello, Manchester.
How are you?
Yes, people.
Thanks for coming out.
I really appreciate it. The lights are bright enough for us to see some empty seats,
so that's good to start off the old adrenaline rush.
In the front rows, well.
Yeah, really good. Really good for the old self-esteem.
It's going to fucking jump off the front here and bring the show to a swift end.
How are we? We're good?
Thank you so much for coming out to the last of the Wolf and Al tour shows.
We had to finish it in Manchester because logistically it worked best.
So thank you so much for coming out.
It's like weird chairs.
Yeah, I mean we're very far away from each other.
Yeah.
I feel like I'm at Parents' Evening.
What would you like at Parents' Evenings?
Well, I was there both as a parent, as a teacher and a kid.
What do you prefer?
Thrice.
You've done all three.
I've done all three, yeah.
Yeah, triple-throat.
What a threesome.
What an absolute Parents' Evening, Orgy.
What's your favourite bit?
Was it as a kid, a parent or a teacher?
What is your favourite version?
of parents' evenings.
What a fucking dreadful opening question first.
I'm just changing quite interested.
I mean, as a kid, I was sort of, you know, quite lazy.
So that's what the teacher said about me when I was a kid.
You used to go to your parents' evenings?
Did I used to go?
Yeah, because my mum and dad didn't really want to go.
They knew I wasn't going to be a doctor so they didn't give a shit.
Can I come?
Two minutes in, he's open with the impression.
We know it's going to be a good night.
No, I, yeah, I did, I think, no, actually, when I was a, when we were kids,
you didn't go along, did you?
But when I was a teacher, kids would come along.
I used to try and earn money by doing the car parking.
Like, would you mean?
Like, I'd run the car park, like I'd tell people we're at a park and stuff.
And they'd give you money?
Yeah, like, so, you know, hello, mate, you know, oh, we've got a space for you over here.
Just a bit of a weird one
Thanks for inviting a spread this evening
You know you've got some nonce in a high-vis in the car park
No, I was a kid-pire and I don't talk
Yeah, you looked, mate, I've seen the photos
You looked 25 for when you were seven
I do, I remember playfighting with some friends in the park
And one of them was dead
And a guy came running over and dragged me off him
What are you fucking doing, invite me kids?
Halfway through eating one of them
And then as a teacher,
I was just, you know, whatever, pretty chilled up, pretty cool entertainer.
Were you quite flirty with the parents?
No, I was not flirty with the...
No, because...
How you doing?
So you must be Claire's mum.
I was having sex with a drama teacher, so I don't...
Shout out of the swam.
She's not here, obviously.
She wouldn't be here if we're doing it in Crawley.
She don't give a fuck about this.
But, yeah, well, sometimes what would happen is,
is like, to be honest with you, and I don't know if...
Are they teachers in?
Yeah.
So the teachers, I don't know if they'll back me up on this
because, you know, obviously I left teaching.
So they're still in the profession.
not being forced to leave, but I, one of the things is you remember the kids that are right
at the top, like ability-wise, and you remember the kids that are right at the bottom because
they're annoying, but you don't remember any of the kids in the middle. So sometimes what
would happen is, like, is that a kid would turn up with their parents, and I think,
who the fuck is this? And then, like, I had the stats and everything, but I don't know
who the fuck this kid is that I'm sitting in front of. And so I'd often go, well, you know,
what do you think I'm going to say about you?
And then they go, well, you know, I sort of don't do homework as much as I should.
And, you know, I could be working hard on my fractions.
And I go, yeah, well, there you go.
I mean, you know, he's it himself.
We had one parent who turned up, and they said,
can you move my daughter up into Topset?
And I said, listen, I don't want to reinforce a stereotype, but they're Asian.
And awkward laugh, isn't it?
You weren't sure.
Brown people in the room, probably laughing.
White people are like, is that okay?
Listen, it's okay now.
You can laugh at shit like that, all right?
Don't worry about it.
So one of them sat down and said,
I want you to move my daughter into top set.
And I said,
how did they say it?
In what sort of, like, threatening or something?
Or you can do the accent, Pakistani.
Moving in Crawley.
Would you be able to move our daughter?
No, no, it's more Pakistani than that.
They were immigrants.
They're immigrants. Still are, I imagine.
Would you...
Oh, your little things fall off.
You got so flustered, your little mic fluff has fallen off.
You know, Dennis is...
That's what happens.
That's Tom's emergency whip-call.
When he thinks he's about to say something racist,
you just push the little button and the mic thing pops off.
Give it to 2028, Tom.
Then you can say whatever you like.
No, but do it. You were doing it backstage.
You're a rascal, Ramesh Ranganaithanathan.
That's not he said if I said you.
You're a rascal or Ramehaganax.
Yeah, so they say, okay, well, look, you don't have to do it with the Pakistani accent.
Let's not get fucking cancelled here.
But what I mean was, were they sort of like flirty and sort of like...
No, not flirty, no.
No, were they, like, to try and get their daughter?
No.
So what were they like, like...
No, you didn't go, oh, if you move my daughter up, I'll show you.
my tits. It wasn't, it was like she was seriously wanted her daughter to move up in the top set.
Yeah, but there's probably an offering. What do you mean an offering? Oh yeah, look, did me a
favour. I know it's a weird one, but if you move her up, I'll sacrifice a goat in your honour.
No, no, but even if they just go like, like this, and it's a bit awkward and go.
No, she just wanted her to move up to top set because she thought she should be in top set,
and then I said no. Not, I didn't say it like that, I said it sort of more politely and a diplomatic,
than that. I just sort of said,
look, I'm really sorry, she's not got the ability
to be in Topset.
Would you sit it like that?
Well, what else you want to say? I don't think she's fit enough.
You have to comment on her maths ability.
So I just said, I don't,
I don't, you know, she'll just struggle in Topset
and you're going to take a subject that she might enjoy
currently and ruin it by moving her into a set
that she's not supposed to be in.
And then she said, well, I think she should be in top set.
And I said, well, I don't think she should.
And then she said, well, how about I'm not going to leave until you move her up to top set?
She said, wow.
She said, I'm going to stay here until you agreed to move my daughter to top set.
And that's how I met Lisa.
No, no, no, no.
And then I was just like, well, I've got other appointments to do.
Did you have security, move her on?
Yeah, I don't know where you are of how well-funded schools are,
but they all often have security and sort of a snack for snacks and donuts and shit like that.
No, I just sort of had to say, I've got other appointments.
Can you, I didn't say fuck off, but that was the sort of the insinuation.
Then another person, another parent sat down and they said,
this wasn't on the same parents evening, but it would be if it was a sitcom.
But they said, I said, your son's really badly behaved.
And he said, oh, that's unfortunate.
I said, like, he was really bad.
And he said, why don't you just hit him?
Wow.
By the way, I got hit three times when I was a pupil.
Colour me unsurprised
No, what happened?
One was when I was about seven
I was doing a routine in the...
You're doing a routine?
Yeah, I was...
What do you mean you're doing a routine?
I was messing about and doing a bit of fucking about it.
Oh God, you're a tragic at seven as well.
A thirsty little prick.
And so this teacher then brought me
to the front of the class to sit next to her.
And obviously then I'm sat next to her
facing the rest of the class
so whenever she was talking I was sort of like
mouthing and sort of pretending
and then pretending her breath's melt and stuff
and um
so they were talking you go aw
yeah I was going oh I'm seven
it's not like
and then she just
actually it's not that different from some of the stuff I've seen you working off
for the tour
it's a little insight and just bug gun as a tour
and then she saw what I did and she went like that
and just hit me around the back of the head
okay and that was the first one
Sorry, so
Was she stood up?
She was sat like this
And she clipped around the ear there
I mean were you lying on the ground
No, I was sat down there like sort of
If you sit down here
Yeah but you
You were six foot seven from when you were like four years old
I was just sat there like this
On the floor
Yeah like that
Why were you sat like you're about to start 100 metres
No when I was a kid I'd have a problem
That's how you sat
Yeah.
That's how you suck.
Yeah.
In assembly, everybody else is cross-legged and you're sat like that.
I couldn't cross my legs.
What do you mean you couldn't cross your legs?
Even now I struggled it, but I couldn't as a kid.
So I used to sit like this.
Sorry, Tom.
Tom, Tom, Tom.
If you can't sit cross-legged, that's not the only other option.
You can't sit like this in assembly, can you?
No, just bend your legs.
You can't your fucking legs.
Like that's worse.
No.
That's better than what was so having.
That looks like you're an orphan.
Often.
This, there's something gallant to this.
It's a good look.
And it's just went, pf.
Okay, so there's another two times that we've got to get through.
Second time was when I had taken up boxing.
And I went in a mild English teacher, Mr. I had a glass eye.
Don't be careful now.
I don't really like eye banter, but don't.
And I was chatting to one of the other boys at the back of class about boxing,
and he went, Davis, what's so interesting?
And I said, oh, I'm just talking to about...
Who?
He was my mate.
Okay.
Let me guess.
Invisible.
That was Tony.
I did have an invisible friend until I was, I think, about 13.
13, you had an invisible friend?
Yeah, I mean, yeah.
What was he called?
What was he called?
Did you do a podcast with him?
Tony Walsh.
And I was chatting to
who went on to be in the army.
A little sidebar.
He was an amazing tennis player,
but then he joined the army.
And I said, I was just chatting about boxing
because I went here at the weekend.
And he said, oh, fancy yourself as a fighter, Davis.
and he got me to come to the front and spar with him
and then he just called me at a jab
did you go to bolstall
what kind of
you know the school I went to
oh I taught that school not the same
it was the worst school of the area it was fucking awful
yeah and then what was the third time
the third time was just like a teacher
just really really annoyed and just literally just
clumped me as I was sort of being silly
not as adventurous as Mr.
I would say
if I was going to tell those stories again
I wouldn't finish with that last one
it's quite a lot of detail
in the first one and you did the sitting down thing
I can't remember the third one because by then it's quite
blasé the second one was my favourite
I did think it would be like because like teachers
didn't know if you agree with this but I do think
you should as a teacher
have like a card
like a little card that you can use once
a term where
there's like a cupboard and you can just go
right you and you just beat the fuck out of someone
this this
parent that said
do you want to hit him
about his kid
I said we're not actually allowed to
hit the children
and nor should you be actually
I mean I didn't say that
but I mentioned it to somebody afterwards
said you know we're not actually allowed to hit the kids
and he said what about if I gave you a letter
that said you are allowed to it
wow
I love that
to deal with you to deal with you
I laminated it and put it up.
What about if I gave you a letter, Mr. Mangan opened?
You mean, you could slap him about a bit.
I didn't think it would be quite a good idea to just like pretend you've got the letter.
But, yeah.
Fortunately, that is insane.
Yeah.
And actually, we're really thinking about, because you're talking about going into a cupboard,
we had a boy called...
He was the first one.
Tom. Tom.
It's happened three times now.
One of them, I think we can let go because it's your invisible friend.
I don't think...
He's the only one who might be here.
I don't know why it is.
You keep giving the full names.
of the people.
Nobody gives a shit.
The guy, who's a tennis guy?
Who's a great guy?
You started saying what he's up to now.
They'd only just fucking heard of him.
I'd like to give it context.
Okay, go on.
But he came into class one time
and he was the first person in their sort of class
to show up about getting pubes.
So a couple of said,
if you've got pubes,
going, like, in the sort of stationary cupboard.
What?
And, like, and cuts them off to show us.
What the fuck you're talking about?
Right, so.
Hold on, hold on.
Who said this?
Me and a couple of the other...
You?
You said, show us your pubs.
No, I said, if you've got them, cut them a couple off.
Yeah, but I'm sorry.
I don't know what your pubs were like when they first came in,
but I would describe it as much like,
you know when you first put turf down and seedlings
and you've just got a couple of bits poking through?
You haven't really got stuff to spare, have you?
No, but he was showing off, he was quite proud.
So he went in the cupboard with those little scissors,
and then we told the teacher that he was masturbating in there.
She opened the door, and he was just like that, and he's back to it, yeah.
Sorry, are you wanking with a pair of scissors?
She didn't see the scissors
But
Oh, good times
Yeah
Really good times
We had a bad one actually
I don't know
You know what it's nice when you go down
Memory Lane
We have one thing
With the same guy
Imagine if
Is just sitting and going
Do you know what
Fucking I haven't seen Tom for a while
Oh he's doing a podcast
Live show at Manchester
I should go and see that
I'm sure that would be fun
You know
I've had just gone through
horrible divorce and the kids
don't want to talk to me. It's good just to escape
my difficult life
and just kick back for an hour and a half.
Then he comes here and then you're fucking
going in two-footed in them for the entire of the first
half. He, by the way,
is doing the right for himself. He's like middle
management at HSBC now.
Can I just, I lead to, did you
make that up or is that true? That's true. How do you know?
Because I still like sort of have a look
at him on Facebook and he's been on a cut. I've been on a
like stagdos with him.
But years and years ago,
he was sort of saying,
why do you think it is that dogs,
when they go and stinging nettles, don't get stung?
And I was like, oh, because they don't know
their stinging nettles.
Like, if you don't know something,
is the thing.
And he was like, oh, that guy, I said it's true.
Like, if you were to run in stinging nettles
and put yourself in the mindset of a dog
that you don't know that they sting
and they don't know that that actually cause pain,
they won't cause pain.
Tom, Tom, I need to double check something with you.
Are you saying this hypothetical,
Is this something you actually believe?
Huh?
No, I'm just, that at the time, I'm like saying.
No, what do you think, no, just to be quick.
Can I just say, by the way, if I was sitting here as like a fucking one of your more learned doctorate friends,
you go, oh, wow, fucking a science project.
No, I wouldn't. No, I wouldn't.
Do you believe that now?
I need to know, because it's not, no, because this is, it's a fine line between a funny story
and we need an intervention.
Because I want, I want to know how fucking thick are you.
No, no, no, no.
No, I don't know why dogs don't feel stinging nettles.
I can't. I'm not going to claim that. I can't.
Right?
Nobody's asking you to.
At the time, I thought, this is quite an interesting scenario.
So what we said, if you put your head into a basic, that you're a dog,
right, and you've got a basic focus, start barking and, like, acting like a dog.
And by the way, his ball bags completely bare now, as well, you've got to remember that.
And then you run into some stinging nettles.
and just fucking pretend you're a dog, see then if you feel that.
So, so he, basically, we do like a little doctor in,
like we're going through a little bit of a dog thing
where messing around, like he's playing fetch and stuff.
So get him into the zone of being at all.
So it's like, fucking acting class or like, yeah.
And then I'm like, okay, okay, are you ready, you're ready?
And he's like, and then I threw a stick in some stinging needles,
and he ran in, and he was,
Like, ah, fuck.
And he's got, ah, I'm like, you're a dog, you're a dog.
And then he's going, ha, ha, ha, ha.
It's one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
So you're like a horrible bully?
No.
That's a horrible bully thing to do.
This guy was like a really, he was a horrible guy himself.
He was, yeah.
I don't think you, mate.
He was, we, every, it was a lot of that sort of stuff back then
when people did horrible stuff to each other.
He used to order pizzas to my house, like,
or five times.
Okay, that doesn't, to be honest of you, mate,
in terms of like for light punishments,
you made him go into some stinging net
that was pretending to be a dog
and he ordered some pizzas to your house.
No, no, no, no.
I don't know if you ever had this done.
When people used to do that to you back in the day,
that was like showing you up in front of your whole,
like when you'd have like six or seven different takeaways
turning up by delivery drivers.
And you've got, fucking on.
We haven't ordered anything.
We haven't had seven takeaways here
have only only only six
He's a nightmare
He was quite
And he used to do the prank phone calls on people
Yeah I mean he was no
He was no angel
Yeah anyway
Is he here?
That would be great if he was
Anyway
Anyway
We're supposed to start by saying
How are we?
So how are you?
I'm good. I'm good.
No, it doesn't sound like you are.
I did the Royal Variety show last night.
Oh yeah, guys, Tom Davis did the Royal Variety last night.
I'd hold that.
To be clear, I ate a big plate of shit in the Royal Variety.
To be clear, he didn't, basically, it was booking from a long time ago.
He agreed to do it when he thought that Andrew was going to be the Royal there.
But they've...
They changed it and he's agreed to do it.
So how was it?
Yeah, it was hard.
More variety, man.
Sick.
No, no, no.
It was very hard.
It was not...
It's a tough gig.
I'd say it's the hardest gig I've ever done in my life.
It was quite soul-destroying.
Yeah, it was like...
You know in this business when you go out on the first...
And I started because...
Don't start a sentence within this business.
No, no, but I went out and my first joke, I fucked up.
And everyone went, hmm.
And I was like...
What was your first joke?
Do you want to do it, like, do you want to set?
Do you know what?
Uh-uh-uh-uh.
Who wants to see...
Can I say, by the way,
you have fallen into fucking...
...territory, don't know.
That is his...
I'd sooner run through some stinging net was naked
than fucking have to do the first joke of a set that died last night.
I was having to go and identify a body at the mall.
What was it about?
Because obviously resisting that challenge.
About being bald.
But, yeah, it was...
It was sham...
While you were doing raw variety,
I was, I actually did, there was an album listening party for De La Sol.
Wow.
And they, so they got like some like journeys together and stuff like that.
And then I was hosting this event.
Wow.
And they did the album listening and then I got to interview De La Sol on Zoom.
But I've got a, oh, so fucking true.
This is, this is, I don't know if this is cool or not.
It isn't cool.
But I've got a De La Sol tattoo on my wrist.
And then I just went.
I went, okay, before we...
Before we start the chat, look.
And they went, that's cool.
They must have been impressed.
I don't think they're impressed.
I sort of think...
You're pretty impressed for all your bracelets.
No, it was actually all right.
It was fine.
But I was just, I was conscious of like,
like, de la Sol is so important to me.
That's why I felt so nervous.
But then what happened was is that because I'd had that experience,
because I was like, I'm talking to somebody,
and I don't know if anybody else has had this
where, like, you talk to people that you've, like, admired for a long time
or they're part of your lives.
Like, de la Sol are the one of the main reasons that I listen to hip-hop,
you know, and hip-hop is such a massive part of my life,
how I'd dress, everything.
So then to actually have the opportunity to talk to them
was like an incredible thing.
And I was a bit of, you know, I could feel that I was like,
there was a weird energy in me, like I was being a bit of a thirsty prick. Do you know what I mean?
Yeah, but I guarantee that when that interview comes out, you're going, I met Delasol.
Yeah, I mean, listen, it was great. But what happened was, is I remembered that feeling of being,
like, feeling like a bit of a thirsty prick when I was talking to them. And then today,
I was getting the train up to Manchester. And this guy came over to me, and I'm not saying I'm
like Delasol to him, but he was like, obviously quite nervous to meet me. And he said, oh, my God,
like Ramesh and I was like yeah and then um I thought to myself be like cool and
however this guy talks to you be nice and because I remember how you felt when you're chatting
to della soul and it's like a bit you know so I just wanted to be accommodating to the guy's nice
so well so he goes to me um oh I've just text I've just text my sister and I'm massive fans of yours
I've just literally looked and he just texts um stood next to Ramesh Ranganafen at the station
oh my god and then he goes could I get a photo please and then I said yes I
do the photo and he goes, where are you going? I said, I'm going to Manchester. And then I
go, I said, I'm going to Manchester. And he goes, oh, I am too. And then he goes,
anyway, I'll leave you to it. And I go, otherwise, and then I went, this is the bit that's
fucking bad. I then went, yeah, because if you, if I see you on the train, I'll fucking
get you're a stalker. I'll haul a fucking police on you. And he just went, oh.
Oh, wow.
Look, I actually managed to take myself from a position of him being thirsty towards me
then all of a sudden I was now being thirsty towards him.
Yeah.
And then I think I said as he's walking away, I shouldn't have said that.
Well, you said that out loud.
Yeah.
I wasn't saying it to him.
I was just saying it into the universe.
Well, you just went, I shouldn't have said that.
Yeah.
I do say that a lot.
I say that a lot on the podcast.
Or, you know, I wish I hadn't said that or whatever.
Somebody said to me, say it so much, you've definitely got ADHD.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Oh, we both have.
Yeah.
You've been diagnosed, isn't?
Yeah, I've been diagnosed, right, yeah.
I've been diagnosed by some fucking **** on the internet.
I'm more, I was obsessed with Stephen Fry's, I thought in the traitors he'd do better.
That's why I was a slightly obsessed with him.
Right.
I just thought he, I thought he was going to, I put money on him winning and he didn't.
Who's betting on traitors?
It's a great, mate.
I would say that I was addicted, brother.
I think you would be sick on that show
I don't think I would
Would you not agree
I think he would be incredible
You know if you
I would literally put everything I own
and you win in that
You're likable, you're funny
But you're fucking cool under pressure
As we yeah
Jesus Christ
This is
This is unlike any other episode
of The Wolf for now
I've done
No no I genuinely think
Like can I say
The two of us
You win
I would be the first one out
There's no doubt in my mind
Everyone would just go
Oh he is definitely fucking going
I think you'd be the only person to ever go in there who is worse than Alan Carr at the game.
Yeah, but I haven't got Alan's cool, and there's a stealing this to Alan.
I'm just like, literally someone would go.
You'd literally walk in sitting there and go, fuck, you know,
I can't believe Claudia made me a traitor out of everyone.
Oh, fuck.
I'd be sitting around the round table and go,
I can't believe you're going to get rid of me because you think I'm a traitor.
Oh, whoa, whoa, just to be clear, we're not getting rid of you because we think you're a traitor.
We're getting rid of you because you're fucking annoyed.
I'm a faithful. Yeah, we know. Just fuck off.
We all know. The traitors have actually come out and said who they are,
just so we can get, we're going to start the game again.
You've eaten all of the lasagna.
Do they have to, like, clean up it?
Are they responsible?
No, no, no, no.
Okay.
That won't be doing it. I can't see it.
But it's quite an immersive experience, isn't it, Traders, apparently?
Yeah, I think it goes along or not.
I think, genuinely, you should do it if you get this.
You should do it?
I will not do it.
I'm literally...
Do you think Tom would be great on the trains?
No, I would not.
Yeah, see?
12 people.
Yeah.
It would be... I love the show as well.
I'm not saying the celebrity one, just go on the regular one.
That would be so sad.
So you didn't...
You didn't fancy going on the celebrity?
No, I asked about that.
Sit down at the table.
So Tom, what do you do?
Oh, fuck.
Oh, fuck.
comedian and a traitor.
Thanks for asking.
You're the guy from Wonka, yeah, yeah, you didn't do the celebrity one?
No, I'd just do this one because, yeah.
All the letters, obviously, didn't get through to them.
Just flow phony up.
Look, I've got some interesting news.
You're on the traitors.
Oh, fuck, no.
Who else is on a celebrity?
But you are on traitors.
A bit of a nightmare.
It was for me.
I had to fucking beg to get you on.
What reality shows would you do?
I think traitors is about it.
Below deck.
If I wasn't married with a kid, I'd try and get a job on below deck.
Like a deck hand.
That would be sit.
Order chef.
I love it when a chef has a breakdown on below deck.
You just can't control themselves.
I'd start drinking, that would be the thing to start me drinking again just for the sort of partying and stuff.
And I'd like be like a sort of big sister to everyone, just listen to all their problems.
The thing about Below Deck is, like whenever they, you see, does anybody watch Below Deck?
It's an unbelievable show. I think I've talked about it on the podcast, but I was in the, I was in the Below Deck ad, not one of the Below Deck adverts because they heard that I really like the show.
but like when you watch it it's an amazing show
but when you watch it
they're like one of the deck hands
to walk on and they go fucking oh
it's just like why is he working on on a yacht
he's so fucking old and then it shows him
33
it's just go oh fucking kill me man
so
it must be soul to destroy when you're on there
you're like because there's always like one really
really fit deckhand
who they all go crazy for
and then I'd be like the butters one
you really
what's funny about that
is you think that's you being really humble
no it's not I'm being honest
but I'm not being humble
literally if I
I would say yeah
you'd have to go somewhere to go
on the fit deck and Tom Davis
they've always got their tops off and shit
you know yeah yeah yeah I just find
anything awful if they complain wouldn't it the guests
sorry we're trying to have breakfast
Can you meet you like that?
You're all right, enjoying your breakfast.
Yeah, can you just be your tops on please?
Just a chef going, listen, I've not had time to make breakfast.
I need them to not be hungry.
Ramesh, take your top off and walk out on deck, please.
Hello, guys.
When they always do the sexy parties and the sexy dancing, yeah.
If I got the opportunity, I do blow deck.
Married at first sight, whichever day.
No, I couldn't do that.
Are there any married at first sight, fans in?
We talked about Married at First Site,
and quite a lot of people gave us, actually quite a lot of people gave us abuse
about talking about Married at First Site.
Does anybody hate that show?
Yeah, see that fucking blokes.
Yeah.
I get what, I actually get what you hate it, to be honest.
I was having a go there, but I do get what you hate it,
because it's fucking mad, isn't it?
It is insane.
And then, you know, when you watch it and you like it,
I can't remember the guy's name,
There's always that one sort of, the sorry guy, the sappy guy, who sort of, Dean, yeah.
Yeah.
When I say wed, you say ding, where, ding, where, ding, where, ding.
He's like a nice guy, he's egg, but he's a nice guy.
I'd love to have seen you were married at first sight.
Can I tell him my problem with married at first time?
My main problem is I don't understand how anybody has the confidence for their first face.
reveal to be on the wedding day. And I'm not talking about even being average. Listen, I know that
we talk negatively about our looks, right? Neither of us are ugly, okay? But I'm just going to show
the audience this, right? This is what, this is the confidence is you're stood here. And this person
hasn't ever seen you before, right? This person has never seen you and they're about to get married
to you. So you, you'd be the, no, you'd be the, no, you'd be the, no, no, okay. I need to say what
your turnaround faces.
Okay.
So they play the sort of, the song comes on.
Okay.
Wow, you're like you're actually nervous.
I'm getting into the roll.
Oh, okay.
And then you hear those clippily-cloppy, leases at the top of the R.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
I just don't see how anybody's face can stand up to that unless you're like,
Unless you're, like, unless you're fucking 10 out of 10, do you know?
Yeah. How would your back, it's so bad as well when you see the disappointment in someone's eyes when they're around.
I think Catherine did that to me and she even knew what she was getting at this.
Yeah, I know.
I think Lisa was thinking, like, because I remember on our wedding day she asked for like really low life.
And I think she was hoping that maybe I looked slightly different on the day, but I didn't, certainly.
What would your banter be like after the, you know, after, you know the bit?
Because they, after the wedding, they have that little chat.
We should run it if I'm like the woman who's married you
and you're you.
I'll be you and you could be the woman.
Okay, what's the scenario?
Am I disappointed?
No, no, I mean, look, I'm you, right?
Yeah, I know I get, I've understood that part of the roleplay so far.
So, what I'm asking is...
Let's say that you're, yeah, you're slightly disappointed,
but you're also intrigued and you're not an asshole.
You're quite sweet.
You've got a nice sweetness about you.
You want to get to know this person more.
Okay, what's about to happen is I'm about to get an absolute fucking shooing.
Just, just, you know.
Would you rather be you?
No, no, no, we can do it.
Okay.
Well, no, I don't mind.
We can do both if you want.
Let's try both, right?
Let's not take this to a vote.
You saw what happened.
You saw what happened with Brexit.
Let's not do that again.
Okay, let's go.
So I'm, hold on, who am I again?
You're Holly.
Okay.
Who?
Holly.
Holly.
Holly, okay.
What am I like?
What am I like?
Holly Stevens.
Okay, got it.
No, you're okay.
Holly Stevens, your dad has quite a good job at British Airways.
He doesn't fly planes, but he's like higher management of British Airways.
Your mum has got a little gardening business.
You take care of yourself, you're attractive, but you're also re-booked.
Oh, that was an amazing ceremony, Ollie Stevens.
You look radiant and beautiful and things.
Thank you. Thank you. You can just call me Holly.
Oh no. I should call you Holly Ranganathan. That's your new name now.
Well, why don't we, you know, why don't we see, you know, because obviously it's just a...
How do you like the name Holly Ranganathan to suit you nice?
Well, you know, I mean, I don't actually, you know, I don't think definitely the woman should take the man's name.
So, you know, something to discuss, isn't it?
Well, I'd like you to take my name if I'm honest with you.
Well, as I said, it's something we can discuss, isn't it?
I mean, you could be Ramesh Stevens, couldn't you?
I don't think so.
I'd be Jonathan Stevens.
That's my actual name, you see, love.
Yeah, I've seen that routine.
You've posted on Instagram quite a few times.
Oh, you know my work.
Yes, I do, yeah.
I like all of it, apart from that podcast you do with that .
So, Holly, tell me, what do you do for yourself?
What do you mean, what do I do for myself?
What's your job, or are you a woman of leisure?
No, I'm not a woman of leisure, actually.
I own an online business making hoodies.
Oh, I always wear hoodies.
That's great.
Maybe I could give you a discount.
Well, I'd assume now we're married.
I'd get them for free now.
Well, they're quite expensive, Rommish Stevens.
Could I get one with Rommish is the best on it?
It's not the kind of hoodies I do.
Are you
And I don't mean
I don't mean this
I'm with stupid
Pardon
What about a kiss me quick one
Or I'm with stupid
I'm with stupid
I'm going to ask this question
I don't want you to be offended
But are you on any medication
Well if medication
his laugh.
Oh, you're okay?
Yeah.
Fingers crossed, you die.
Now, if you're regularly listening to the Wolfenau, you know that we always close things off with Tom's little summary.
Now, Tom, it's a lot trickier to do this live, but we'd love you to wrap it all up.
So he's now...
Manchester for the last time on this Wolf and Al Tour, Tom Davis, could you please take us out of the podcast?
Thank you.
Shut up, you fucking prick!
Shut the fuck up!
So angry!
I'm so sorry, man.
I'm just trying to think of what is the worst thing I could say in response to that.
I'm so sorry.
Anyway, go on.
Challenges, huh?
No, I know.
Challenges, what is a challenge?
Trying to get out a speech at the end of a show.
People shout amongst themselves, but bigger things than that.
Making new friends.
We're connecting with old ones.
Juggling daily life.
I don't know. Emotions, dedication.
Like you're juggling balls, your bull, not your balls, but that's the same.
It's hard to keep juggling different things. I don't want to do this.
It's hard to keep juggling so many different things, isn't it?
So hard.
Every now and again, you might drop something.
Oh no, I haven't seen Alice for a while.
I hope Steve's okay.
Alice, who the fucking knows Alice?
You remember from Clive's wedding.
The truth is it's hard to keep all those people.
plate spinning and sometimes you can kick yourself or letting yourself down and letting a few
drop the main thing you can do is just be the best version of yourself go through life
and the challenges you meet try and meet them head on go to toad them like this tour
in some ways it's been a challenge with all the other things going on but you know what
every time I step on the stage with this sweet sweet soul I think to myself how lucky I am
and every time I smell his hair
and
cup his nice shave balls
I think
I hope the next challenge is
exciting as this one is
I hope the next step we make with this podcast
can make it bigger, grander, more crazy
and you know what? I got a feeling in
2006 it'll do exactly that
challenges
face them, beat them, own them
And people, remember, have a great Christmas.
Hit it, Rob!
Thank you so much for coming to the world for now.
It means so much to us that you come out and watch us.
We appreciate every single one of you.
Have a great rest of you.
We'll see you next time, Manchester.
Safe journey home.
Thank you so much.
Give it up for Tom Davis.
Give it out for Rubberts Reagan, Nathan.
Good night, Manchester.
I don't know.
