Peacock and it's not play Gamble, but it is right Peacock and it is out Gamble Peacock and Gamble, Peacock and Gamble, Peacock and Gamble. Because it's on air, Peacock and it's not fake.
Gamble videos is great, Peacock and it is out.
Gamble, Peacock and Gamble, Peacock and Gamble, Peacock and Gamble.
Here they are.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Peacock and Gamble Edinburgh podcast, oh yeah.
Oh yeah, it's the Peacock and Gamble Edinburgh podcast.
You know, hang on, you know we've got a theme tune?
Oh yeah.
You don't need to make one up every day.
I forget that, because when we record this we don't air the theme tune, do we not?
No we don't. We just hear you doing your own one, which apparently is,
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, it's the Peacock and Gamble Edinburgh podcast.
I am Ray Peacock, hello.
Hello Ray, I'm Ed Gamble, hello everyone.
I know, I've met you loads of times.
I know, exactly.
I've met you once at a bus.
You did meet me at a bus, yeah.
I think I'd be quite good at doing jingles.
Do you?
Yeah, I've been thinking that.
Although, I don't think I'm the best at doing jingles.
No.
I was thinking not long ago.
Remember, I Feel Like Chicken Tonight?
Yeah.
Do you think, hang on, before you do this, whatever this is going to be,
maybe we should just have a little bit of preamble and sort of introduce what this is.
This is our Edinburgh podcast.
Yeah, number three.
We're going to have a chat about what we're up to. We're
in Edinburgh performing a show. Peacock and Gamble
don't even want to be on telly anyway. 9.40 at the Pleasant
Stone. Done. And we're sort of going to, it's just
the Pleasant Stone. We're going to have a chat about what we've
been up to and then we've got a special guest coming up later
on. Yeah, which is Lee Mack today. In the form of
Lee Mack, which is quite exciting. Yeah. So now you
know all of that, in context, let's
now hear what I presume is going to be
your idea for the Chicken Tonight theme tune.
Well, I was thinking, if I'd been asked to do the Chicken Tonight theme tune all them years ago, I would have come up with this.
Chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken tonight.
Chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken tonight.
Chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken tonight.
Why don't you have some chicken tonight?
Right.
That would have been my one
right
which I think is
perfectly serviceable
yeah maybe you get
on people's nerves
and it works
well so would
I feel like chicken
tonight
but then I thought
somebody
whoever it was
came up with
I feel like chicken
tonight
yeah
I feel like chicken
tonight
that one
yeah
and then I thought
about it
and I thought
no
it was right
that they got the job
it was right
that they got it
because out of the two ones, my one and their one,
their one is probably the better one.
Is that the complete thought that you wanted to put out onto the internet?
Well, what I'm saying is that I can't be feeling downhearted
because the best person got the job.
Got the job.
If you only thought of this much later, you didn't think of this at the time.
Well, sometimes you go and do a casting, don't you?
And then you see the actual show that you went for the casting for that you didn't get.
And you're like, I think I would have done that better.
Or I think I was better for that.
But okay, fine.
But with Chicken.
But with Chicken tonight, I think the best person got the job.
Yeah, absolutely.
Well, I'm glad we've had your thought for the day.
Yeah.
There'll be more jingles that I could have done later on in the run.
Well, I think you're already sort of, your brain's going a bit fuzzy already.
Because the Edinburgh Fringe tends to do that to performers performers because you're in a new place for a month you're
performing the show in a sort of hot room very intense experience started it last night didn't
we yeah we did our first one last night yeah a bit quiet a little bit quiet that's fine first one we
did it well so it's fine everyone in the room laughed at it yeah every last person yeah and
that's fine so uh but i think you're already going a bit fuzzy in your head. Why? I think you've gone a bit mad.
It's like, this is like your catchphrase.
Oh, right.
I think you've gone a bit mad.
It's a catchphrase.
No one's proved it.
I've been forced to repeat it.
Every day I've got to say it.
My entire life with you is a constant...
Laugh.
Intervention.
Great laugh.
Intervention.
We were having a right giggle yesterday.
We were having a giggle yesterday,
but I think you might have taken it a step too far, mate.
I was just through here having my dinner.
We're in the kitchen at the moment.
Yeah, we're in the kitchen.
Through it, obviously,
I think they could probably get that
from the fact I was having my dinner there.
No, some people have their dinner on the lap
in front of the telly in the living room.
Yeah, some people have it on the toilet
and remember you with some chocolate.
Claire's in Scotland one time.
Profiteroles.
Profiteroles, sorry.
Similar sort of things, really.
Just rounder.
Yeah.
Goes through you better, doesn't it?
Yeah.
I know, actually,
a eclair would have gone through better.
You don't eat it all in one, though.
Because an eclair is the shape of a proper toilet,
isn't it?
Yeah, but I...
So I was through here having my dinner,
and I heard a strange...
What were you having?
What were you having?
I was having some pasta pesto
with some chicken breast.
Chicken.
Yeah, lovely.
Very nice.
Did you feel like chicken tonight?
Chicken, chicken, chicken,
chicken, chicken tonight.
No, it was a proper one.
It's better we've established that.
And I heard a strange cry
from deep within our flat
of,
Ed, I'm not doing anything!
Yeah, that was me.
Now I know,
you might not know this listener,
but I know Ray very well.
I've known him for many years now,
probably like 20 years.
Yeah, probably 40 years.
Yeah, 40 years, 50.
And when he says,
Ed, I'm not doing anything like that,
that means he's prepared something
and that's my cue to go through to where he is
and examine what he's prepared,
laugh, go, well done, Ray, very funny.
And then he can go about his day
feeling pretty full of himself
but happy that he's a funny lad.
Yeah, but I've always got to raise the bar every time.
Yeah, constant reassurance.
So the bar was probably. Constant reassurance.
So the bar was probably raised
to a level where
even our previous
guest Greg Davis
would win limbo.
I've just put him
in an ambulance
Greg Davis.
Outside yeah
to the funny farm.
Oh yeah he's
gone mad hasn't he?
Yeah I've just
put him in there
just now.
Yeah well I mean
I wish I'd been
there to kick you
in as well because
I was having my
dinner I thought
I'll get through
my dinner.
I'll just leave him to it, whatever he's doing.
Don't forget, chicken pasta pesto.
Yeah, so eating that, I sort of got to the end of it, I was on, in fact I was on my last
tube.
Right.
And then I heard again, more strain this time, slightly more sort of serious.
Desperate.
Ed, Ed, I'm not doing anything, I promise.
Yeah, yeah.
I thought right, I'll go and get this out of the way and see what he's done.
Yeah.
I don't think I was quite prepared.
I went in your room.
You weren't there. So I thought, I'll look in the sitting room.
You've got a sitting room. Yeah, nice.
So if any girls want to come over. Can I have a sit down?
You can have a sit down and we've got a telly in there so we can
put whatever you like on there. We've got a little
spare room as well, single bed. £40 a night.
£40 a night, that, if you want it. £40 a night
and that doesn't include extras. You know what I mean?
Wink, wink wink can't see that
on the radio
you weren't in there
weren't in the sitting room
weren't in the toilet
because the door
was open there
so I thought
well he's in my room
isn't he
so he's doing
something in my room
yeah
I opened the door
it was a little bit dark
I thought
oh is he hiding
is he going to jump out
play monsters
no there was
it wasn't completely dark
because there was a glow
of a candelabra
lovely
you'd taken the candelabra
from the bathroom
and you'd lit every candle
all the candles lit them all.
Creating quite a soft, romantic ambient light.
Very, very ambient. And you were laying
in what I can only describe as sort of
a Rubenesque position. Thank you.
On the side, on your side, on your flank.
On your bed. Yeah, on my bed.
Entirely naked. Thank you.
Why are you saying thank you? Entirely
naked. Yeah. With your penis
and testicles pushed through your legs.
So they were sort of tucked up round by your arsehole.
Yeah.
In what I believe is traditionally called a mangina.
Yeah.
And you had a finger in your mouth.
Thank you.
No, stop saying thank you.
None of this is a compliment.
Just sort of looking at me coquettishly.
Yeah.
Going, oh, you've caught me.
Yeah.
Right?
Oh, and you're saying this now as if I were Ray Stube.
Ray Stube, what did you then do?
You were on me like a shot, mate.
No, I was...
My first thought and my first sentence was...
All over me.
Get your dirty bare arse off my clean quilt cover.
Yeah.
But guess what?
What?
It's worse than that.
Why?
Because what had I tucked through my legs?
Penis.
So that was on my bum as well.
No, it wasn't, mate.
It was, mate.
Mate, it wasn't.
It was, mate.
Mate, you tucked that through there.
That barely wrapped round your massive stomach.
Well, that's why I was asking you to come through quick.
Because I'd been in that position for ages.
And it was starting to hurt my balls.
It's flat now, isn't it?
Completely flat balls.
It's like a bit upon my hand now.
Yeah, it's turning.
First of all, it went a bit like mozzarella cheese when you get it in a bag.
Yeah.
And then it went completely down to like, sort of chopped salami.
You went through the full deli.
I know, I did, yeah.
Thank you.
Stop saying thank you.
None of this is a compliment.
So I immediately ran through and got my own back and rubbed my bare penis and balls on your pillow.
That seems even worse because you've not even got an at on your penis anymore.
No, exactly.
And it all chopped off.
Yeah.
It was genuinely hurting me
and I couldn't change position.
And this was building
throughout the day
because earlier on in the day
you'd left a banana
outside my room as a present.
Yeah.
What a lovely thing to do.
Right, so that was done.
Yeah.
That was done.
What else did we do?
Oh, I went a bit mad as well
that you were worried about me.
You went to the shops
in your pyjamas.
I went to the shops
in my pyjamas.
I think that's fine sometimes
if you live above a shop
but Sainsbury's
was further away
than I remembered
there's a radius
I think with
things like that
if you live
next door to a
shop on either
side or you're
above a shop
you can pop
into that shop
and if they
start to get to
know you in
that shop
you can go
hello Gordon
I'm just going
to go and
pick up a pint
of milk
and go hello
I did your
pyjamas again
and I'll say
yeah my hair's
a bit messy
and all
or Jane his wife but Sainsbury's was sort of like six and pick up a pint of milk and you go, hello, I didn't your jam was again. And I say, yeah, my hair's a bit messy and all, Gordon. Or Jane,
his wife.
Or Jane,
his wife,
yeah.
But Sainsbury's
was sort of like
six buildings down.
So once I got in there,
there was a point
where I was walking down the road
just in my pyjamas
like a madman.
mental.
But that's what I'm saying though.
These things are all
fun things to do.
And what I'll say to you
in future,
if I say,
Ed,
I'm not doing anything,
come through straight away. No, but I know that. I know to do that.
Because I might be in some discomfort. That's not my fault. And if I'm wearing... That's not my fault. Right.
That I don't come through straight away when you've pushed your cock and balls through your legs.
Let me tell you now why. Why it was difficult. Because I was laying there. It wasn't particularly comfortable anyway.
It was difficult. Can we just stop you? This was completely your choice. your choice right it wasn't I'll tell you why
I was in discomfort
you were in discomfort
because you decided
to go into my room
take all your clothes off
and push your cock and balls
in between your legs
and some candles as well
stop making it sound
less than it was
oh yeah apparently
that was difficult as well
listener I was told that
because the candles
were on a high shelf
in the bathroom
they weren't allowed
to lift them down
all on my own
right listen
and I was there
so for maybe the first
minute or so
I was relatively comfortable
that was fine right
if you'd have come through then
there wouldn't have been
any problems at all
but you left it
I reckon like
seven or eight minutes
that I was in there
in that position
and then I was thinking
right I'm going to take
my cock and balls out
from between my legs
for a bit
just to get the shape
back in them
couldn't do that
because I didn't know
when you were going to come through
so if I'd have just got
my cock and balls out
and then you'd have
walked in the door,
then that is just me with some candles on,
making on your bed.
What I would say is you're very well trimmed,
well done, good boy.
Thank you very much, I shaved it right to the hilt
to make me really not bigger.
Anyway, thanks for joining us again.
Don't forget our show is Peacock and Gumball,
don't even want to be on telly anyway.
9.40pm, Pleasance Dome.
And we'll see you there.
Please comment.
Please comment, because we really like it
as a show
and you know what it needs
just a bloody audience
cheering us on
just you know
have a bit of fun with it
exactly
come and enjoy it
it's meant to be silly
it's meant to be silly
don't have a frown at that
what's wrong with you
that's your fault
anyway
special guest time
special guest time
Lee Mack
who I believe
is telly
he's telly he's telly isn't he he's telly isn't he he's telly isn't he he's not here he's not in Edinburgh Special guest time. Special guest time. Lee Mack, who I believe is Telly.
He's Telly. He's Telly, isn't he?
He's Telly, isn't he?
He's Telly, isn't he?
He's not here.
He's not in Edinburgh.
This was a pre-record because, of course, he doesn't go out.
Yeah, again, sound is up and down in this one, but we've fixed it as best we can.
Bear with it.
I mean, once we get into the people that are all in Edinburgh who have been recording so
far, the sound will level itself out.
Yeah.
But the pre-records, some of them are up and down.
But a lot of those are more famous, so there's a trade-off.
Much more famous indeed.
And here's Lee Mack.
Peacock and Gamble, Peacock and Gamble.
Oh, brilliant. Well done, Lee Mack.
How unprofessional is that?
Have we started?
We keep some silence at the beginning.
Why?
It's for editing, and now you've whistled.
But you can't keep quiet.
The whistle's like the clap when you start a film.
You know, if you haven't got a clapperboard to take in,
you clap and you go... Everyone's had to set you haven't got a clapping board they take in your clap
and then you start
everyone's had to set their own
oh sorry
yeah so you've broken
some of these nice Bose speakers
look at
stop clapping
none of our listeners
have Bose speakers
that's very true
I've got some
but they were given
as a gift
you're in that weird position
where your average demographic
can't actually afford
to listen to you
right can you not
slag off our fans
when you say your fans
I said your demographic
you've got to learn about marketing and comedy.
You've got your fans and then you've got your demographic.
Can I just describe the scene, first of all?
Lee Mack has just picked up his chilled glass of white wine.
This is true.
It's great juice.
Working class Lee Mack.
Straight out of Pontins. Here he is.
What year is this? 1982.
Working class Lee Mack drinking wine.
This is Abigail's party.
Listen, this wine is known as free wine.
Right.
Well, let's just get this...
Before we go any further, let's sort this out now.
Lee, and you answer your questions truthfully, where are we?
We're at the Haymarket Hotel,
which has got its own swimming pool in the bar next door.
Yeah, just next door.
We've walked past a swimming pool to get into this room
that we've got exclusively to interview Lee.
I had it arranged, unlike your other podcast interviews.
I actually hired the room out, paid for it, and I'll take that round.
That's true, you fucking idiot.
And why are you here tonight?
Well, I am here as part of my book.
I wouldn't say launch, but I'm doing a book, and I'm meeting the people that are going to buy the book.
And still want to buy it.
Not just everyone that's buying the book.
There's like eight people
coming. When we were sat outside there was a little
homeless man going, I'm from Borders.
I'm from Borders.
They go, no Borders has gone bust.
Not Borders. Woolworths.
Woolworths are coming.
Tower Records are all going to be there.
When's your book coming out?
It's coming out in October I believe
I mean this sounds like
I'm doing it so you can
promote it
but I'm actually
I'm saying it in a more
sort of baffled way
when is Lee Mack's book
book
going to come out
in a shop
you think you're shocked
they're going to be shocked
the audience
because what I've done
is I've bought
10,000 copies
readers they're called
readers
the audience
can I call them audience?
yeah yeah
oh right
you don't sit like a watcher book
I know you used to miss them
I just see them as an audience but in slow motion
that's a kindle you've seen
that's a kindle
no I think I've seen a portable telly haven't I
what I've done is I've bought 10,000 copies
of the life story of Muhammad Ali
and I've printed up some new covers
I couldn't bother
writing it.
And let's face it,
not everyone knows
who I am.
They might think
I was the champion
of the world in the 70s.
Well, a lot of your
things happen in your life
chime exactly with
what I'm doing.
Very similar, yeah.
I got into a lot more
trouble when I shouted
abuse at George Foreman
than he did.
It all depends on
who's the giver
and who's the receiver.
Context is everything.
Yeah. Well, I'm going to buy one.
Well, I'd say I'm going to buy one.
I would imagine I would get a free one because I'm in it a lot.
Are you thinking of the George Foreman grill now or my book?
No, I would get a free one of your book because obviously I'm in it.
Listen, you'll get the book.
Yeah, thanks.
You're having the book.
Thank you, thank you.
And I can borrow his when he's done with it.
You can borrow, yeah, you can borrow his book.
Has it gone to print yet? No, it's not gone to print. So you can still make corrections? Oh, I can still his when he's done with it. You can borrow, yeah, you can borrow his. Has it gone to print yet?
No, it's not gone to print.
So you can still make corrections?
Oh, I can still change things, yeah.
Whenever you're talking about me, which you do quite a lot,
can you say, and his friendette?
Yes, definitely.
So I'm in it as well, because...
Yeah.
In his chapter.
Me and Bobby Ball? Sorry.
It was a photograph of me and Bobby.
Yeah, stop the interview because you sawraff o chi a Bobby Ball.
Mae'n fawr iawn o'r ffaith.
Weithiau, rwyf wedi sylweddoli,
ar gyfer personiaeth comediol,
byddwch yn chwarae'r person sydd yn gallu credu ei fod yn showbiz.
Ond weithiau, mae'r un gwirioneddol yn dod allan.
Nid yw'n personiaeth.
Dyma fi a Bobby Ball!
Dyna Bobby Ball o Canon and Ball!
Nid yw'n cael ei ffotograffu.
Mae'n wir. Felly, nid yw'n cael ei ddysgu eto. Nid yw'n caelr! Mae'n fawr! Mae'n fawr! Mae'n fawr! Mae'n fawr! Mae'n fawr! Mae'n fawr! Mae'n fawr! Mae'n fawr! Mae'n fawr! Mae'n fawr! Mae'n fawr!

Mae'n fawr! Mae'n fawr! Mae'n fawr! Mae'n So if this is a little fun item, a feature, I'm going to punch you both in the face. I want serious, proper suggestions.
Well, what I'm saying is, if you then use any of these,
even if you can prove that you've come up with it before, you still have to pay us, all right?
Yeah, because this is the first time these titles are going to be announced.
That's the third point, yeah.
Apart from the ones that I sent to my lawyer and put the stamp on.
Right, no.
But they're dated, so they're predated.
When Peter Kay did his last talk, we did a podcast where we predicted the material he was going to do.
Yeah.
And loads of it was in.
Was it in?
Loads of it, yeah.
Right, so here's the titles we came up with.
So when we sat outside,
because we weren't allowed in the hotel yet.
Go for it.
Okay, the Big Mac.
Thought of, rejected, but...
Stop saying...
You can say it about any of them.
No, no, but you've buried them all.
There's so many variations of the word Mac.
Even better.
Even better.
The MacBook.
The MacBook.
Well, that's interesting, because I thought I don't know if I've ever thought of that.
That isn't bad, actually.
It's not bad, is it?
Now, what did I say when you thought of that?
I'll tell you why I like that.
It's because I'm trying to give a neutral title.
Right.
But what you've got to do when you do it, though, is you've got to put M-A-C-K.
And that's the problem.
Then it doesn't look right.
No, but I think people will get it.
If you missed the joke and the play on words of the MacBook,
it just looks like a man who has not thought of that.
Let's change the word Mac to Pasquale.
Some people will read it as the Pasquale book,
and people will just go, was that it, the Macbook?
Not if you put MacBook as one word with a capital B.
And the front cover is you eating an apple.
Don't like computers, don't like fruit.
Now, you won't like this one then, the MacBook Pro.
I was just running with an idea here.
Mac doesn't make any sense, does it, Ed?
What you've done there is you've taken the other one and just...
Well, what I was saying is you're a pro.
Yeah.
Your name's Lee Mac and it's a book.
Oh, got it.
That works perfectly.
The look of...
The vacant look wasn't me trying to work it out.
Right.
It was the look of shock that you had.
Honestly.
The MacBook was good.
I feel like...
The MacBook Pro, you just...
You've opened, right, with your closer.
Yeah, no, I'm just going to say...
Well, you should have just gone,
the MacBook Pro, I'd have had disgust,
and then you go, what about just the MacBook?
Bang, sign the deal, you're out of it.
You, you're a selfish little prick.
No, well, I am.
You're unbelievable.
We've spent time...
Sorry, I...
You definitely want to be the new parker, don't you?
We've spent time...
My next guest is a selfish little prick. Later on,'d spend time. My next guest is a selfish little prick.
There on.
Shelly Bassey.
Shelly Bassey, the selfish little prick.
Right.
Here's some of the ones.
And be a bit more grateful.
Okay, I will be grateful.
I do agree with what you were saying about us going in with the good stuff, first of all.
Because my next one was iPad, which doesn't make any...
iPad?
Yeah.
Yeah, you see that?
You see where you've gone wrong now?
Because I would not go for an iPad.
But blue sky thinking. But, hey, listen, great suggestion, guys.
OK, we've got loads more.
I'm sure you know the names of lots of computers.
Commodore what?
Good job you weren't doing Lionel Richie's old time.
Please call your lots about having a Commodore 64.
This is when Ray decided we'd leave the Mac thing and we'd go with Lee.
Great.
Rusty Lee.
What is it?
Rusty Lee. Your name is Lee Mac.
And the front cover could be you
as the Tin Man
from The Wizard of Oz.
Nice.
Or just Blacktop.
Just Blacktop like Rusty Lee.
The General Lee.
Oh, I've seen General Lee.
Yeah, he has a car on the front.
Or as a General.
Yeah.
Sukho Lee.
That's a Korean lad
I went to school with. Oh, okay, yeah. So ungrateful. Or as a general. Yeah. Sukho Lee. What?
That was a Korean lad I went to school with.
Oh, okay, yeah.
So ungrateful.
League of his own.
Lee.
Goffy's own.
Goffy's own one way.
And you do do a league of his own and a league of their own sports quiz.
Yeah, I'd like to think I'm not predominantly known for that.
Would I Lee to you?
I did contemplate Would I Lie to You as a title, which is the choosiest thought I've
ever had in my life.
Would I Lie to You, guys?
Is that sort of feel about it? Because you're being, how much are you revealing?
Are you revealing everything?
Because we've got so much.
I'm revealing, I'd say as books go, I'm revealing more than very little.
All right.
Okay, so nothing leaved out probably wouldn't.
Nothing leaved out, Lee, Lee Mack, leaved.
Nothing leaved out, yeah.
Left wouldn't work.
No, what about nothing leafed out?
Leave. Give it some sort of grammar. With a V. leaving leafed out? Leave
Leave
The real me
You arrived at this point
The real me?
That's just now serious
It's not even an attempt to
Play some words or pull something
My autobiography
Diary of Anne Frank
Or Jordan's New Book.
Jordan's New Book's quite good.
Helped me shift some units.
It would help shift a lot of units.
Yeah, three years ago.
Maybe not now.
Are they...
Now I'll tell you my serious shortlist.
Yeah, go on.
If you're allowed to.
Yeah, yeah.
Mack the Life.
Nice.
I found it a bit punny.
I thought it was really nice though.
Do you like that?
Mack the Life.
Fame, fudge and juggling.
Awful.
Why?
A bit pretentious. A bit arty farty. A bit what? Fudge andwybod hynny? Ydw, ydw, ydw. Ffam, ffudge a thwglau. Ydw.
Pwy?
Ychydig potensial.
Ychydig artyfartig.
Ffudge a thwglau yw artyfartig a potensial.
Ydy, mae'n swnio fel, o, mae gen i ddim yn ystyrus.
Dydw i ddim yn gwybod beth yw'r enw.
Iawn, rwy'n mynd.
Mae'r bobl sy'n cael eu llwyddo, y gwaith gwych, y gwaith gwasgaru, y gwaith gwasgaru.
Yn ôl, rwy'n eisiau dweud, nid yw'n sioe.
Mae'n llyfr.
Nid yw'n sioe, mae'n sioe.
Mae'n sioe stand up.
Ydych chi'n gwybod, unrhyw beth, gadael i'r pwynt.
Ydy'n ymddiriedol? Ydy'n ymddiriedol? Ydy'r ffilm gyda llyfrau? Yr dyn gyda'r llyfrau? Ydych chi'n cofyrdd, mae'n ffyrdd. Mae'n llyfr. Mae'n ffyrdd.
Mae'n llyfr.
Mae'n llyfr.
Mae'n llyfr.
Mae'n llyfr.
Mae'n llyfr.
Mae'n llyfr.
Mae'n llyfr.
Mae'n llyfr.
Mae'n llyfr.
Mae'n llyfr. Mae'n ddewis, mae'n rhywbeth onest, mae'n ddewis o'r ffitr a gobeithio y byddai'n eithaf ddiddordeb.
Ond nid yw'n mynd i gynnal unrhyw prifoedd. Mae'n gael ychydig o blwch, nid yw'n ffynhau stocin.
Ydych wedi dweud, yn sicr, nad yw'n ddewis. Mae'n rhywbeth o'i ddewis am y llyfr. Felly, roedd rhywun arall wedi dweud wrthi,
pam na chi ddim yn ei alw'n ddarllen ar gyfer hwylio? Ac wedyn, dwi ddim yn gallu, oherwydd dwi wedi gweithio ar ei fodd
nad yw fy nghyfforddiant arall yn gallu ei wneud hefyd. Efallai y gallwch ei alw'n, that my average audience can't do either. You could call it, You're Definitely Doing a Poo Right Now. What?
You could call it,
You're Definitely Doing a Poo Right Now.
That's true, yeah.
That's not bad.
Lou Reed.
And I think it's about the... Lou Reed!
Lou Reed's brilliant!
I thought Lou Reed's,
or should we call that Lou Reed?
Lou Reed.
You're in the wrong profession.
You should be doing that.
I'm in the right profession,
I've just got the wrong name.
I should be called Lou Reed.
Pickle can gamble,
pickle can gamble.
Because your books are not going to print yet,
you were very kindly, a little a little bit exclusive on the podcast.
Yes.
When we were filming the last series of Not Going Out,
which you were in.
I was in it, yeah.
We were discussing one day, perhaps you forgot about it,
but you said, Ray, if I ever do an autobiography,
because you hadn't decided it was going to happen then,
then you are definitely doing the foreword.
Yeah.
Because me and Tim are falling out.
No, I think if it was, I said,
if I ever wrote a book, you'll be doing forewords. I've done more than that. Ie. Oherwydd mi a Tim yn llwyddo. Na, dwi'n meddwl eich bod yn mynd i'r afael â'r ddau gair.
Dwi wedi gwneud mwy na hynny.
A roeddwn i'n mynd i... Lee yw yn hollol Lee ac yna rydych chi'n cael ei ddod yn.
Wel, rydw i wedi gwneud hynny. Rydw i wedi ysgrifennu'r ddau gair.
Dwi wedi ysgrifennu'r ddau gair.
Felly dyma'r ddau gair.
Yn ychydig yn ymwneud â chi nawr.
Ydw i'n gofyn y ddau gair?
Ddau gair.
Ddau gair.
Ddau gair.
Ddau gair.
Ie.
Ie. Ie. Ie. The foreword. Yeah. Right, well, here's the foreword for Lee Mack's book. And by the way, I'll record this now.
Yeah.
And then you can just use it on the audiobook with me reading it.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, I want you to do the audiobook anyway.
Thanks.
I could do it.
I can read.
Right, you ready?
Yeah.
Well.
Good start.
I like that.
Thanks.
It's good.
Combo.
Settles everyone, doesn't it?
What an absolute pleasure to be asked to write a foreword for Lee Mack's book, Rusty Lee.
It's not often you get to see in print
your thoughts on your very best friend from show business.
Yeah, that's true.
I have known Lee Mack for ages
and have his mobile phone number and an email address for him.
I also have been in his dressing room at the BBC One,
which was quite dark
and he had sushi in a little box for his dinner.
One time, Lee Mack gave me a lift...
Sorry, is this a foreword or the diary of a prize winner? One time,
Lee Matt gave me a lift back from a party with some other people in a posh blue sports
car, which was his. I don't remember. Genuinely don't remember. Once in Edinburgh, it was
Lee Matt's birthday and he got... Was it just me and you in the car? Can I do me forward?
I'll show you. Once in Edinburgh, it was Lee Matt's birthday and he got drunk and bit my
friend Rob on the face affectionately.
Yeah, that's true.
But it was too hard because Lee was drunk and it hurt Rob.
That's true.
This is gold, mate.
Another day, I bumped into Lee Mack in East Dulwich,
and we had a drink in a pub with my friend Sucky.
That's true, that.
Your friend Sucky?
Yeah.
What was your friend called from school?
Suko.
Well, not the same player.
Racist, that.
The first year I went to Edinburgh...
Saying that some names sound the same
isn't the same as saying people look the same.
Do you know what?
I hope that nobody does this when you read your audiobook.
Just shouting over it with a glass of wine in their hand.
I'm all ears.
We're going to come down to your first reading of this book,
Reading Waterstone.
The first year I went to Edinburgh,
Lee Mack helped fund the posters by doing some stand-up
at Benefit Evening. He'll get me started on that. Even though he was doing Edinburgh as well, The first year I went to Edinburgh, Lee Mack helped fund the posters by doing some stand-up at a benefit evening.
They'll get me started on that.
Even though he was doing Edinburgh as well, and it was costing him more.
I lost more money at Edinburgh than I did fundraising for his Edinburgh show.
How the hell?
Look what I've put. What a nice man.
What an idiot.
Now I do warm-up on his sitcom, and I'm a very important part of the team.
I'm sorry, is that real?
Yeah.
So far, I have persuaded Miranda Hart and Tim Vine to leave.
I'm sorry is that real so far I have persuaded
Miranda Hart and Tim Vine
to leave
in order to give my
best friend Lee Mack
more time on screen
to do his jokes
that he writes
sometimes all by himself
come on Lee
what does that mean
come on Lee
come on Lee
supporting you
I think it meant
come on Lee
I am sure this book
will be a good one
and that he will have
mentioned me in it loads
like the time on set
when he was trying
to extinguish a candle,
and straight away I sang,
It's not blowing out.
The audience howled with laughter, and I just came up with it on the spot.
I even overheard the late Tim Vine say,
That was brilliant.
And he knows a thing or two about doing jokes.
It was the most I ever heard an audience laugh at not going out.
Even when Bobby Ball was there.
What an experience to have all those members of the public
that were there to see Lee Mack laughing the most at me.
And I mean significantly more.
And that's all down to Lee Mack.
Thanks, Lee.
Good luck with your book.
Three stars, some funny bits.
So there's about...
Nice.
If you can
get that down
in printed form
and send it off
to my publisher
I'll have a proper
look at it
yeah
this is
it's an Edinburgh
podcast so we did
it's kind of
Edinburgh centric
this
go for it
I'm all over
the Edinburgh
so you've done
all Edinburgh
in that
haven't you
I've been Edinburgh
I did
2000
no what did I do
1995 to 2000
every year

so how many
Edmonds was that
6 5 95 to 2000 who wants to get that extra one Yr un peth rydw i wedi gwneud, 2000... Na, beth wnaethon nhw ei wneud? 1995-2000, bob blwyddyn. Felly, sut fyddai'r hyn a wnaethon ni ei ddweud?
Ychwa.
95-2000. Pobl yn hoffi gofio'r un arall.
Mae gennych 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 2000.
Iawn, mae wedi gwneud dda iawn.
Felly, yr hyn rydych chi eisiau ei wneud yw 95-2000 o'r cyffredinol.
Yr un peth newydd rydych chi eisiau ei wneud yw,
gael mathemateg.
Mae mathemateg yn dda.
Mae'n dda.
Mae'n dda.
Mae'n dda iawn, ond rydych chi'n mynd i roi pethau i mewn. Felly, pa mor blynedd o'r stand-up wnaethoch chi ei wneud cyn dywedwch,. Mae'n dda. Mae'n dda. Mae'n dda. Mae'n dda.

And the idea of me trying to look like a gangster rapper was supposed to be funny.
But of course, it was my mental ego.
Because what I thought was...
Enough people know who I am that me looking like somebody who I'm not is funny.
No one knew who I was.
So looking like someone else is only funny if they know what you look like.
So basically, they just looked like a bloke doing some stuff about gangster rap.
And you said that it was your first one?
That was my first solo show.
And it was called Return of the Mac.
Was that a little joke as well?
Yeah.
So that was a little joke.
Well, I just, you know, I only had a limited amount of Mark Morrison songs to play.
Yeah, yeah.
Mark Morrison didn't do a show called My First Edmund.
No, he didn't.
If he had a job, he'd use that.
Actually, yeah.
Definitely.
Fair comment.
Because Mark Morrison's first song was called Return of the Mac.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, fair comment. But that's because he'd been in prison. Had he? Yeah, yeah. What for wir. Mae'n dda. Mae'n dda. Mae'n dda.
Mae'n dda.
Mae'n dda.
Mae'n dda.
Mae'n dda.
Mae'n dda.
Mae'n dda.

Mae'n dda.
Mae'n dda.
Mae'n dda.
Mae'n dda.
Mae'n dda. Mae'n dda. Mae'n dda. Mae'n dda. Mae'n fwy oedol na'ch ddwy! Ie, iawn, iawn, iawn. Felly, sut amser o sgwyddo'r solo?
Sgwyddo'r solo, yn Edinburgh, 1998 ac rwy'n meddwl 2003, rhywbeth fel hynny. Felly, ddwy rung fawr o sgwyddo'r solo.
Felly, 2003 oedd ar ôl Lymat's Bits, oherwydd roeddech chi'n gwneud Lymat's Bits, sef sgwyddo'r sketch gyda chi a Swarcky.
Ie, felly rwy'n ar y stag 1998, yn meddwl nad ydw i eisiau gwneud hynny eto. Rwy'ni cael y foment honno yn llwyr, yn ystod y second, ond y foment honno wedi gweithio.
Yr un peth rwy'n ei wneud dros y 10 mlynedd nesaf oedd, ydy'n hynny'n ffynnu?
Ydy'r enw hwn?
Ie, ie.
Fe wnes i feddwl, os ydw i'n rhaid i mi ddod ar y stag eto y flwyddyn nesaf a mynd i ofal gyda 12 o bobl yn edrych arna i,
rwy'n hoff i fod yn gallu edrych ar le ac ar y dde a gweld pobl eraill yn ofal i mi.
Ac mae hynny wedi gweithio.
Dwi'n teimlo.
A Dan a Topolsky yn ffitio i hynny.
Mae gennym rhai o hynny.
Ie, ond gallwch edrych ar ei gilydd.
Mae byw yn eich ars, os mae rhywun yn sefydlu ar y flwyddyn nesaf yn ddiddorol. Ie, ie. I think we and Dan and Topolsky fit into it. We have a bit of that. Yeah, you can look at each other. Dying on your arse with someone sitting next to you is actually funny.
Yeah, yeah.
It's that dying on your arse with that person sitting next to you is not funny.
Well, no, never died.
No, that's really interesting, though, because I remember you doing it.
That was when I first met you.
It was 1999, 2000-ish, something like that.
And you were putting the Lemax bits together for the first time.
But I remember, though, that it wasn't...
Like, when we do our stuff together, it's very much shared between us. But you were putting the Lee Max bits together for the first time but I remember though that it wasn't like when we do our stuff together
it's very much shared between us
but you were kind of, and I don't even know what I've heard
I've heard one of you is a more predominant writer than the other one
and the other one takes all the glory but you know
I don't want to stir it up, I'm just saying what I've heard
Weirdly, I know what you're saying
we don't need to go into any detail
because the history of my career has not been that way
but you're, Ed is more of a writer
and I'm more of a get
Ed's writing
learn it a bit
and then do
all the brilliant
stuff on the
line
I see it
very much like
you're both
making a cake
together
you're going
out and
you're buying
the ingredients
you're buying
the bowl
you're whisking
it up
and you're
cooking it
and then
you're even
trying to eat
it but you
haven't got a
cat in the house
chance of that
I'm trying to
eat it but
he digs out the middle just barehanded,
chops down the window,
and then just does a big turd right in the middle.
Yeah, and then I get some of the cream
from all around the outside,
and I rub it on my face.
And then the oil,
when I pull the middle out of the cake earlier on,
I use the oil and I put my knob in it,
and I go through it with the cake.
This is actually a microcosm of what happens,
is that I'll come up with a concept,
and then he'll put his knob in it, is that I'll come up with a concept, and then
he'll put his knob in it, basically.
He'll just add a knob to it.
It's not even a metaphor.
I'd say that's probably the basic
secret for every joke that's ever been written.
Good concept, but then they put
your knob in it. Yep, put that on the poster,
quite friendly Mac.
What I was getting to say, in my serious
Parkinson interview mode, was I remember at the time
and this isn't being said insultingly at all
No, it's not.
You were borderline dictatorial
in those shows.
Borderline's giving it a nice soft edge.
Yeah, that's what I was trying to do.
It was your thing.
I basically made the rules
and Catherine Tate obeyed them
like the subservient lady she is because she's known for being a meek and what's the word I would call it? Mae'n ddim yn siŵr. Ac rwy'n ymwneud â'r rheolau ac mae Catherine Tate wedi'u hymdrechu fel y dynion dynol y mae hi. Ie.
Oherwydd mae hi'n gwybod ei fod yn dynol ac... Beth yw'r enw i?
Beth yw... Ginger!
Yr enw i yw Ginger.
Yw'r enw Ginger. A Dan, yn amlwg, roedd Dan yno.
Ac felly rhwng y tri ohonom...
Felly, chi'n gwybod, mae Dan ddim yn helpu gyda'r gwaith.
Yn y bôn, roeddwn i a Catherine yn fwy na'r man a'r gwaith ac roedd hi'n y mab.
Ie. Felly byddem yn ironi a chael pethau i'w ddarllen.
Byddwn yn rhywbeth yn drwyddo.
Dyma'r unig ddyn rwy'n gwybod a wnaeth drwyddo a chwarae gyda'i iPhone cyn i iPhone ddod i'w ddysgu.
Dwi'n gwybod beth roedd yn ei wneud.
Dyma'r peth roedd Dan a'n Sborski yn siarad amdano.
Roedd yn bob amser wedi cael gadwraethau a phethau.
Roedd yn bob amser wedi cael gadwraethau.
Roedd yn bob amser wedi cael gadwraethau.
Roedd yn bob amser wedi cael gadwraethau.
Roedd yn bob amser wedi cael gadwraethau.
Roedd yn bob amser wedi cael gadwraethau.
Roedd yn bob amser wedi cael gadwraethau.
Felly roedd hynny'n ddweud, pan wnaethwch chi ddynnu'r sgets, oedd hynny'n dod i mewn.
Roedd yn bob amser wedi cael gael ei ddynnu. Roedd yn bob amser wedi cael ei ddynnu. Roedd yn bob amser wedi cael ei ddynnu. Roedd yn bob amser wedi ar gael. I.T.B. I.T.B. I.T.B.

I got told I was going to
America and the Americans got told they were staying
in America. That suited both parties.
Americans don't like to travel. I love
to travel. Turns out it was filmed in Teddington.
They didn't know it was that and they signed
the deal. So they come over.
They don't particularly want to be here.
I want to be in America. No one's happy.
We recreated every sketch, word for word.
Really?
The show had already been pulled after Series 2.
Was it a series?
In Britain.
Yeah, yeah.
They recreated that show.
The problem is that everyone was told when they sell these shows,
they go, this is a BAFTA winning show.
It's a BAFTA winning show.
And they start believing it.
Because you've got to sell it.
So the Americas, it was a BAFTA winning show.
But it wasn't.
It didn't go through the roof.
Just like The Anywhere's Essex.
Iawn, yn unig.
Hefyd, ar Afterwannau.
Rwy'n hoffi meddwl bod hi'n fwy gwahanol â'r materiál.
Felly yn America, maen nhw'n cael ei ddweud mai'r gwirionedd yw nad yw hi wedi gwneud yn dda yn benodol.
Roedd hi'n gwneud yn dda iawn.
Roedd hi'n gwneud yn dda iawn.
Roedd hi'n gwneud yn dda iawn.
Roedd hi'n gwneud un a hanner o seriwm cyn eu bod wedi'i canolbwyntio.
Ond mae'r problem yw bod pobl yn ei gwerthu'n dechrau'n credu arno.
Felly maen nhw'n dechrau'n credu mai dyna'r peth gorau. Felly maen nhw ddim yn newid y sgwylion. But the problem is that people selling it start believing it. Yeah, yeah. So they start believing that it is the best thing ever.
So they don't change the jokes.
And I keep going, perhaps we should change the jokes a bit because they've got to cancel them.
And all the Americans look to them, what do you mean cancel?
We got told it was the best thing ever.
We told it was the biggest show ever.
Well, not really.
Was it a series in America where it used to play that?
Series.
Was it a series, yeah?
Six episodes were filmed.
How many went out?
I think three or four, I'm not sure.
So it's not bad going. It's good, isn't it? Yeah, so I'm not sure it's alright it's not a bad guy
it's good that isn't it
it's alright
that's not bad
imagine if we got
three episodes in America
love that
that'd be great
imagine that
imagine that living the dream
I reckon we would do well
in America
I think so
got to do well somewhere
haven't we
yeah someone's got to
like us somewhere
you two should go
very much to the
redneck community
of America
because I think that
you'd be seen as
cutting edge
or as
get you well I think you definitely wouldn't want to be doing a because I think that you'd be seen as cutting edge or as get you
well I think
you definitely
wouldn't want to
be doing a
podcast
I think we'd
be bummed
as witches
to be honest
with his long
lady hair
no one likes
us Lee
we've got fans
but no one
with any
clout
well there's
your trailer
yeah
because we're
in Edinburgh
at the moment
we're not now
we are we are we are we are I think you might have given it Edinburgh at the moment. We're not now. No, we are. We are, aren't we?
We are.
We are.
We are.
I think you might
have given it away
at the beginning.
We said, tell us
where we are,
at the Haymarket
Hotel.
There is Haymarket
in Edinburgh.
There is a Haymarket
Hotel in Edinburgh.
The Haymarket
Hotel.
That's how it's
got a swimming pool.
I know that because
my mum's staying
there when she's
coming up.
Yeah, oh,
that's true.
I won't say what
dates because
someone might
bomb it.
So we're there now. You mean the hotel or your mum? You might be there. I'll refer to your mum, because someone might bomb it. So we're there now.
You mean the hotel or your mum?
You might be there.
I'll refer to your mum as it is.
She'll be in it.
She'll be in it.
They'll bomb it all.
The mum and the building.
What can you say to cheer us up?
Oh, right.
To keep us going.
Okay.
I'm sure ticket sales will be better tomorrow.
No?
They won't, they won't.
They won't, no.
Okay.
We've checked.
We've checked all the ticket sales for the whole run.
It's got to be something more like, on a more...
A more realistic level.
Yeah, not too realistic.
I'm sure, however bad...
It's more spiritual, spiritual.
However bad the ticket sales have been today,
I'm sure it won't get any worse tomorrow.
Because today's Friday, tomorrow's Saturday.
It's not the tickets we're hovering about.
Oh, what are you hovering about?
Your general feeling.
You sound like you're trying to promote with,
oh, it's the weekend coming up.
Don't worry.
Yeah, the weekend, that's right.
Yeah, yeah, the weather's been bad, that's the other one. Don't i fynd. Yn ystod y dydd, mae'r wythnos wedi bod yn ddrwg.
Nid oes pwysig. Yn ystod y dydd, roedd yn wythnos yn glas.
Roedd yn glas ac roedd yn rhain.
Y peth gwaethaf, pan wyt ti'n gwybod nad ydynt yn gwneud unrhyw gwrtau,
yw pan fydd y leifletaeth yn eich sioe yn eich cynnig leifletaeth.
Yn ystod y dydd, roedden ni'n gweld yn y dynion yn edrych yn y dynion yn y maes cyntaf.
Roedden ni'n edrych yn y dynion yn y maes cyntaf, yn y maes pennaeth,
ac roedden ni'n gwylio un o'n flywyr gwneud tri cyfrifiad o'r dynion heb roi un flywyr. year we were stood on the top balcony looking down into the dome into the main area and we watched one of our flyers do three circuits of the dome without giving out one flyer
and then we went let's go downstairs so she's seen us went downstairs and she walked past us and
smiled oh my god four hours four hours a night we stood on that it was heartbreaking we should have
written a show you gotta get you gotta get out of it yeah i decided to get out of edinburgh i made
the decision it took me a while to get out but i think in 1997 do you remember the bird pit is that Rwyf wedi penderfynu mynd allan o Edinburgh. Fe wnes i'r penderfyniad, roedd yn rhaid i mi fynd allan am amser, ond yn 1997, a ydych chi'n cofio'r pit o'r byr?
Mae hynny'n dal i fynd allan.
Nid, ond mae'n dal i fod yn arwain fel ffrwm.
Fe wnes i fynd i'r pit o'r byr. Fe wnes i edrych ar Charlie Cheese.
Yn y bryd cyntaf, fe wnes i gweld yn ystod y ddau,
un o'r person sy'n cael ei ddod arno.
Un o'r person sy'n cael ei ddod arno.
Un person?
Fe wnes i feddwl, mae'n rhaid i mi fynd allan o'r pit.
Mae'n debyg, mae'n fflora bach.
Y peth yw, roeddwn i'n drwm iawn o'r Edward. Efallai y byddai'r stori yn anghywir, efallai y byddai fi'n cael fynd allan. I thought I've got to get out of this job. Mackenzie's a little delicate little flower, isn't she? The thing is, I was so drunk at that end of it.
I might have that story wrong. It might have been me landing on the...
LAUGHTER
Might have been me that was landed on.
Might have been that some cheese landed on me.
Mackenzie wasn't even there!
Mackenzie wasn't even there.
But something like that happened.
And then I made some sort of decision that didn't quite come true anyway for four years.
It's not a great anecdote, is it? That's in chapter one.
No, I liked it. I liked it. I liked it. Chapter one, that is. Well, it's all worth it. All my anecdotes in the
book are like that. I always think, what if someone finds out I might have it wrong? Because
I sometimes think it's true, but I can't remember. So I always finish it with something like,
or something like that, anyway. The chapters that you've not ended with, what's the word?
I don't mind. What's another word for meek all my anecdotes
end with a confused
sort of
well I think it was
Richard Burton
it might have been
Barry Junkle
what's that
what's that saying
where they say
if it's a choice
between fact and a legend
always print a legend
yeah
I'll just do that
put that
Lee Mack
always prints a legend
that's nice
that is nice isn't it
I like that
Peacock and Gamble Peacock and Gamble, Peacock and Gamble.
We've done a brilliant job.
You've took unit sales, you've doubled them.
We've not even mentioned Edinburgh hardly, apart from Lee Mack's bits.
And we have done, basically, this has been, it's the first one, it's promotion.
I know about this kind of stuff, because I've been learning about it.
You won't necessarily get an immediate big audience with this podcast, but it's going
to go viral, isn't it?
And it'll be existing in the ether for quite some time.
So in about seven years' time from now,
you'll get someone going, I fancy
a book. And they'll search online and go, oh, hang on,
there's a podcast. I'll listen to this one.
This isn't going away. This isn't like my book.
It's not burning. It's not pulping it. This is
staying in. I'll say it again. The ether for some
time. You've learned two words before.
Viral and ether. And then
they'll listen to it, right? and it'll end up on YouTube.
Here's an interesting fact for you lads.
You don't have to have video footage on YouTube.
Shut up.
Sometimes it's just the viral audio stuff,
and you're listening to the audio.
I know this because last night
I tried to find the audio of the grizzly man
getting murdered by the birds.
You know the story? There's a documentary about the grizzly man, and I got told, you buy this documentary,...a gwnaeth yn ceisio dod o hyd i'r audio o'r Grisly Man......yna, y stori o'r Grisly Man.
Yr adroddiad o'r Grisly Man...
...a dwi wedi cael ei ddweud wrthych chi...
...byddwch yn gwylio'r ffilm ac yn y diwedd...
...a'i gweld.
Yna mae'n digwydd nad ydych yn ei weld, ond yn ei glywed.
Yr adroddiad am yr Grisly Man.
Yn y diwedd, y llyfr yma oedd wedi'i bwyso gan y Grisly Man.
Yn y ddiwedd, roedd yn cael ei fwyso gan y Grisly Man.
A mae'n fideo.
Ydych chi'n gwybod eich bod yn bwriadu y llyfr? Dwi'n gwrando ar y diwedd. Nid ydych chi'n gwrando ar y diwedd. the birds and it's on video. Do you know that you're meant to be writing a fucking book? Listen, so I listen to the end. It's not the end to you. I'm ashamed to just rant to you
about bears. There's no man getting into the end. I go on YouTube, I find out, you hear
audio stuff on YouTube, there's nothing video footage. So I ordered you and then listened
to the monkey eating a woman's face. I'm going to build myself up and watch Ken Bigley.
I'm going to build myself up and watch Ken Bigley.
Anything to stop me writing this book.
I think there's something you should know,
and that is that I have not been dressed for six days.
Nice.
You're looking at a broken man.
You're like Sylvester Stallone writing Rocky.
But the thing is, it's great,
because I keep my voice down because they're outside the book people,
but if you're doing a book, you don't have to shave because they think it's an artistic decision
rather than the realities which I just haven't. Hot water has not touched my body for three days. Nice, nice. Mae'n ddiddordeb i mi fod yn y llyfrgell, ond os ydych chi'n gwneud llyfrgell, nid ydych chi'n rhaid i chi ddysgu oherwydd maen nhw'n meddwl bod yn benderfyniad artistig.
Yn hytrach na'r realiti sydd gen i, nid yw'r mwyafrwydd wedi cysylltu â fy mod i am dri dydd.
Ond dyna pan mae'n ymlaen yn llyfrgell.
Ie, felly nid ydych chi wedi cael...
Mae llyfrgellau pobl yn ymddygiad â'ch ffwrdd.
Maen nhw'n teimlo'n ychydig yn ddwylo, fel llyfrgell.
Ond, chi'n gwybod sut mae gomediynion yn teimlo'n ychydig yn ychydig?
Ond maen nhw...
Mae'r llyfrgellau hyn yn teimlo'n ychydig yn ychydig. Ac nid wyf yn rhaid i mi ddynion. Y cwbl o dynion. Y cwbl o dynion. Y cwbl o dynion.
Y cwbl o dynion.
Y cwbl o dynion.
Y cwbl o dynion.
Y cwbl o dynion.
Y cwbl o dynion.
Y cwbl o dynion.
Y cwbl o dynion.
Y cwbl o dynion.
Y cwbl o dynion.
Y cwbl o dynion. Y cwbl o dynion. Mae'n dda. Mae'n dda. Mae'n dda. Mae'n dda. Mae'n dda.
Mae'n dda.
Mae'n dda.

Mae'n dda.
Mae'n dda. Mae'n dda. Mae'n dda. Mae'n dda. Mae'n dda. Yeah, it's very odd I was telling you that, since you've been booked to do the warm-up. Can we not ruin the magic?
Okay.
Unfortunately, no, there isn't a new series.
Oh, shit.
No, there is a new series, which will be on next year,
and Tim won't be in it anymore.
Tim Barnes is not going to be in it,
which I can exclusively reveal was in The Sun six months ago.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
But why, Lee?
But why?
But why?
Listen, don't get me started. That's not a bad name.
Don't get me started is a good name for it.
No, Tim decided he was going to concentrate on his own individual projects.
That's the official PR line.
The real reason is I kept sticking my index finger up his bum.
It sounded a bit sexually, in his words, sexually aggressive.
Yeah, no, he said it a bit sexually, because he did it one night when we were recording ei wneud un nos pan roeddem yn recordio, roedd yn ei wneud. Ac mae'n rhoi fwy o fwyder i'r ffordd. Mae'n cael ei ddod yn y cychwyn yn y gorau. Ond roeddech chi wedi...
Fe fyddwn i'n ei ddod yn y cychwyn yn y cyntaf oherwydd fy mhentad yw, rwy'n amlwg yn dweud bod y bwl yn y ddae,
rydych chi'n gwybod, i'r ddae. Ie. Ie. Ynghyd â fy mhentad, roeddwn i'n yno, roeddwn i'n
am ysgrifennu fy nôs gyda'r peth nesaf, roedd hi wedi llwyddo ei hun. Ie, ie. A sut a wnaeth
ei gael ei ffwrdd o'i ffwrdd o'i ffwr room? All right, I think. He shouldn't have the code for your address in the room.
No, he shouldn't.
No.
No one should.
No.
I forgot it.
I deliberately, I had to be, Paul McKenna hypnotised me.
So, I mean, I couldn't forget all of it and he just eventually hypnotised me.
So I forgot the last two numbers on him.
I talk about hypnotism in my book.
Stage hypnotism.
Yeah.
And the complete nonsense of it.
I'm not having it.
And I'll argue.
I'm not having it.
I'm not having stage hypnotism. Stand up and dare him. I'm not having it. And I'll argue with you. I'm not having it. I'm not having stage hypnotism.
Stand up and dare a row.
I'm not having this.
I refuse to accept it.
You're really dropping some pretty heavy opinions.
I refuse to accept stage hypnotism in any form.
Right.
And you want anybody that even remotely says things like,
ah, yeah, but there's some truth in it,
and the kind of weirdos that think, I don't know,
something else that's unlikely that might be true.
The monster, the lot less monster. Yeah, yeah. I didn't know, something else that's unlikely that might be true. The monster,
the Loch Ness Monster. I didn't realise you were
dropping such bombs. Yeah, yeah, there's worse
than that. You know, there's worse
than that. I give some pretty strong
opinions about what you're eating.
I started this being like
heartedly saying, I'm now
I know you.
I'm genuinely worried about you.
I'm worried about my own mental state.
Yeah. I think you've gone absolutely...
There's a tipping point.
Fucking, yeah, you're gone.
Ask any author like myself, and they'll tell you...
Is that your wife?
I'm just glad you can hear the screaming.
That's all I've heard for three months.
I wake up thinking there's a crow landing in my ear.
Oh, good almighty.
So the first sentence of this book is going to be...
Did you do a trump? Did Lee-Bach do a trump on our podcast?
I didn't do a trump.
I can wind it back up and hear it.
I think you did a trump.
I don't think so. Sorry, Lee.
I just thought the first sentence of this book is just going to be...
It was a shit.
I'm not sure about stage hypnotism. The man doesn't even get eaten by a bear. Bye.
Yeah.
That's it. And then it's just going to sting. And then the doesn't even get eaten by a bear. Bye. That's it.
And then it's just going to stink.
And then the rest of it is just ripped pages.
Some of them come in in biro right through the page.
So, Not Going Out.
So that's...
When's that out?
Next year?
On telly in February.
