Starting point is 00:00:00 Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah Pickle and Gamble, Peacock and Gamble, Peacock and Gamble. Because it's not Ed Peacock and it's not Ray Gamble, but it is Ray Peacock and it is Ed Gamble. Peacock and Gamble, Peacock and Gamble, Peacock and Gamble. Here they are. Peacock and Gamble Edinburgh Podcast. Welcome. Hang on. Welcome one and welcome all. I'm Ray Peacock. My name is Ed Gamble.
Starting point is 00:00:38 Oh, lovely. You had to clear your mouth there because you had a mouthful of hot doughnut. And then you had to lick your fingers of sugar. I agree to that. I did lick my fingers of sugar, my thumb and my forefinger. We're sat here trying to make this silent so we can record it properly, and you're just looking at your fingers. It must have been agonising just covered in sugar.
Starting point is 00:00:56 I had one little tiny bit of doughnut left in my mouth. Because today you've bought fairground food. Oh, you're straight in, aren't you? I'm straight in, yeah. You're straight in having a go at me. Oh, excuse me for having a nice time at the Edinburgh Fringe. Yeah, we are at the Edinburgh Fringe. Sorry, we're doing a show.
Starting point is 00:01:09 Details of which we'll give you in a minute once we've got this out of the way. Several times we'll do it. Yeah, Ray Peacock has decided today to only eat fairground food. Right, now hang on. I didn't say I've decided to only eat fairground food. Well, it's quarter past two in the afternoon. Right. What did you have for breakfast?
Starting point is 00:01:24 Two donuts. Right, what did you have for breakfast? Two donuts. Right. What did you have for lunch? No, one and a half donuts, and I just had the other half now. Okay, so that was your lunch, was it? Half a donut. And what else have you got there for pudding? Candy floss.
Starting point is 00:01:33 Candy floss. So, so far, all you've eaten is fairground food. That's true. And I've had a cup of coffee. Is that from the fair? Yeah, the people who run the fair have coffee. Right, okay. Well, I had one of their coffees as well.
Starting point is 00:01:43 Basically, I've wiped that away. Are you having candy floss now? I'm just going to try it. It's not the best recording of a podcast. I don't think I even like it, you know. No, I hate candy floss. I think it's absolutely vile. No, it's not nice.
Starting point is 00:01:53 And it's not good to eat on a podcast because it just sticks your mouth all together. It's sugary. Yeah, well, that's what it is. It's sugar. No, it's got sugar in it, hasn't it? No, it's pure sugar. No, no, it's got sugar in it, in the cotton wool.
Starting point is 00:02:02 It's not cotton wool with sugar in it. Oh, yeah. It's just sugar. Oh, no, it's got sugar in it, in the cotton wool. It's not cotton wool with sugar in it. Oh, yeah. It's just sugar. Oh, and you're priceless. How could that be just sugar? It's wool. Yeah, but they spin it. It's spun sugar.
Starting point is 00:02:13 You are. Right, okay, brilliant. So this is just one thing. Is that what that song's about? What? Spin, spin, sugar. Spin, spin, sugar. Making some candy floss.
Starting point is 00:02:24 Yeah, that would be what that's about. This is just one of the litany of things that's making me worry about you and also quite annoyed. Oh. We nearly flooded our bathroom this morning. Not my fault, right? It was your fault. No, listen, I've been thinking about this. It's your fault. Why? Because you went in the shower before me. Yeah, and everything was fine with that. Yes. Yeah. But, you're too big. I'm too big? Yeah. So what happens is, you put the shower head all the way up to the very top. Yeah. I mean, it can't go further.
Starting point is 00:02:52 So I can fit in. Right. Yeah. And I'm not interested in your dirty details. Right? Then I have to go in. I go in there, right? Yeah. Just being a good boy. Yeah. In the house. Yeah. And I go in there and I go, that's too far up. Now, the first time I ever did it, it knocked off and hit me on the nose.
Starting point is 00:03:08 It hit me on the foot before. And hurt me, exactly. Yeah. So I've got to be actually careful. But I'm reaching, no exaggeration, to my full stretched out heart. Yeah. To actually reach it. And I think you're doing it tighter as well every single time.
Starting point is 00:03:19 I'm not. You did it. Because I have to go in there. Yeah. And I have to bend over to move it from where you set it. Right. I honestly didn't know you were this short until I started having to move the shower. Missing, missing, right?
Starting point is 00:03:30 It's like something in Alice in Wonderland. Like you're a little dwarf showering under a flower. No. Tiny little lad. I have to bend over, unscrew it. You did it very tight because you may be little, but you've got very strong muscles. And push it all the way up to the top. And I did say on the first day, do you want me to move you down after I've had a shower?
Starting point is 00:03:46 And I said, yes, please. No, you said, no, it's all right, you don't have to do that. Anyway, so I did that. I have to get in the bath with no clothes on, even though the shower's not on yet and do that and I've got to avoid the little dribbles of cold water that comes out of it as well, which sometimes just catch my nipple and make me go, whoa, whoa, whoa, right? And then I have to lower it down. And I think today when I was lowering it down, being a very good boy,
Starting point is 00:04:08 what I did then was I think I might have nudged the shower curtain just a bit over the bath, right? Then I put the shower on, ready for going in. Went to do my muck, right, in the toilet that I do in the morning. Sat myself down, started doing my muck, and then realised, I was looking across, and realised that the shower was just literally, and it's,
Starting point is 00:04:26 honestly, you could clean patios without a shower. Yeah. It's super strong. Yeah, yeah. And it was just, just squirting all its water
Starting point is 00:04:32 onto the floor. As you were squirting your muck into the shower. But I was doing my muck at the time, so I couldn't get over there to help it. I think you should have
Starting point is 00:04:39 gone over there even though you had a little bit of muck coming out. That would have made the floor far worse. At the moment, it's just water. what have we established? The shower could have cleaned it.
Starting point is 00:04:47 Yeah clearly yeah. Could have cleaned the muck. Well look I've learned for tomorrow. Isn't that interesting? Not tomorrow. Both of us. Both of us. Both of us today started the shower then did some muck then went in the shower. Yeah. Yeah with the shower running. Yeah well yeah do you know what I mean? You're like when girls live together and they all have their periods at the same time. Yeah or the boys start doing their muck at the same time. Do my muck at the same time, I wet the bathroom floor. That's alright, I don't think I've done anything. So you flooded the bathroom, you're exclusively eating fairground food. That reminds me, quick candy floss break.
Starting point is 00:05:17 No, it's not, oh God. You two, why are you talking while I'm having it? We did an interview this morning. Mmm, very good. It was fun, but you ruined it a little bit. Why? For the sun? Because it wasn't for the sun. It's for Tommy, who works for the sun.
Starting point is 00:05:30 But he said that some of it might be for the sun. It might be for the sun. Unfortunately, I'd imagine not our one, because all that really happened is that you stole something. Mm-hmm. He'd made a lovely effort to put on a sparkly gold table. That's true. Sparkly sequiny chairs.
Starting point is 00:05:43 Yeah. Within four minutes, you'd ripped the sparkly sequin. That's true. Sparkly sequiny chairs. Yeah. Within four minutes, you'd ripped the sparkly sequin bit off your chair and put it on as a poncho. Well, I was going to have it as a cape, and then I saw there was a big hole in the middle of it.
Starting point is 00:05:53 Possibly even want to rip it off. Yeah. Just shove me a food up. Put your head through that poncho. Hey, presto, gold poncho. Yeah. Well, it ruined it. It spoiled it a little bit.
Starting point is 00:06:00 Well, I think it made the interview better because a lot of people go, look at these two. That little one's made an effort. And you spoiled the Richard Herring interview the other day as well. The one we're doing now. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:10 Today's one. Yeah. Well, I'm going to concede this. Yeah. It was a pre-record. Yeah. We had the first part yesterday. That was quite nice, I thought.
Starting point is 00:06:17 Really nice. Went swimmingly, a little bit of tension at the top. Yeah. As there always is between us and Herring. Yeah. But you ruined iton but you ruined it
Starting point is 00:06:25 as you ruined it when we went on his podcast and Naughty Keith started calling him what was it? Mung King Mung but listen
Starting point is 00:06:32 you're saying oh you ruined it and then you said Naughty Keith said so that's what I'm saying it was Naughty Keith that ruined it sooner or later mate
Starting point is 00:06:41 you're going to have to admit that you are having a breakdown and Naughty Keith have you ever seen the Mel Gibson film The Beaver no I've not
Starting point is 00:06:48 but I think I would like it well I think this is similar to what's happening I've only seen the trailer but I think it's very similar yeah yeah I think I would like it but I don't like Mel Gibson
Starting point is 00:06:57 I think he's horrible I think he's brilliant I used to really like him let's have a bit of balance every time you give an opinion I'll give the opposite alright then brilliant I will go and watch
Starting point is 00:07:04 Paul Chowdhury's show I won will go and watch Paul Chowder's show. I won't go and watch Paul Chowder's show. Why? I like wearing jeans. I don't like wearing jeans. I behave myself very well, I mean, to be Richard Herring. That's not an opinion. No, you've got to.
Starting point is 00:07:16 No, that's a lie, mate. No, you can't. You've got to do it. That's a lie, mate. No, balance. No, you didn't. Right, shall we tell people what you said at this interview? Right, we still don't know if it's going to go in the interview yet. Right.
Starting point is 00:07:26 You said, you said mum. Yeah. Right. I called him King Mum. And that predated when, not me, when Naughty Keith did it on his podcast. Yeah. So this was just you. So there's not even an excuse of mental illness of you having a bin bag on you.
Starting point is 00:07:42 Just having a joke. Yeah. You called him King Mum. Richard, in an interesting point, said you've got to say something racist now to balance that out. It's fine if you don't say something racist. If you say something racist. Because it's exactly
Starting point is 00:07:53 the same thing. It's exactly the same, yeah. So what did you say? I did say something racist. But it was, in my defence, it wasn't a real thing. It was me. Richard made me say it. Richard made me say it. Richard made me say it. That's the title we'll take with it.
Starting point is 00:08:07 Richard Herring is a racist enabler. Richard Herring came on our podcast. You'll hear it in the interview now, possibly. Richard Herring came on our podcast and told us to be racist. Yeah, he did, yeah. Yeah. And the thing is with Richard Herring is he's all like, no, I'm liberal.
Starting point is 00:08:22 I'm not racist. I like everyone. I'll get other people to do it for me. I'll get other people to put money in that no, I'm liberal. I'm not racist. I like everyone. I'll get other people to do it for me. I'll get other people to put money in that bucket, right? Yeah. What he does then
Starting point is 00:08:30 is he tempts other people to do it. Yeah. Yeah. He goes, oh, come over here. Do that thing. And then he cackles away.
Starting point is 00:08:36 Ha, ha, ha. That's what I like. Do you know what? I bet Richie Nairn was round Ricky Gervais' house the night before. Yeah, on Twitter. Go on, Ricky.
Starting point is 00:08:44 Put them on once. I bet I did. It was round Ricky Gervais' house, alright, and they're having a laugh, you know, showing off his mates and all that. Yeah. And then I bet Richard Owen was going, Ricky, that face you keep doing is brilliant. You look like a right mong. And then Ricky went, yeah. Yeah, yeah, that's what the credible comedians are, that's what they all say, all the stand-ups and that. So I will, and Richard went, went oh you should put them on Twitter mate because you'd look like
Starting point is 00:09:06 a right mong when you do that and then Ricky's gone on and gone mong mong mong and then Richard has gone right not having that hang on what
Starting point is 00:09:13 Richard Ricky what's Ricky short for Richard it's the same bloke exclusive for the Peacock and Gamble Edinburgh podcast
Starting point is 00:09:22 it's two sides of the same coin they are rowing with each other, like when I done that Twitter ventriloquism act. It's like Two-Face, sort of. It's very similar to Two-Face. Yeah. Well, look, apologies in advance for the naughty bit,
Starting point is 00:09:34 but it was a deliberately naughty bit. It was, yeah. And we have hummed and hard about putting it in. Interestingly, we were discussing it, and we thought, let's bleep the second thing I said. But we can't, because that proves the point, doesn't it? Yeah, that's exactly Richard's point. So he but we can't because that proves the point yeah that's exactly Richard's point
Starting point is 00:09:45 so he has got us over a barrel yeah yeah people put money in the barrel as he goes past the scope yeah exactly
Starting point is 00:09:51 and please do that because apparently there's been a fall off in his scope money this year yeah so if you go and see Richard's show
Starting point is 00:09:56 put money in the bucket don't be a twat yeah and put money in our bucket as well and then we'll tell you what it's for at the end yeah we've got a bucket as well for scope
Starting point is 00:10:03 which is Sexy Company at Peacock Emporium. Sexy Company at Peacock Emporium. That was an exclusive bit of what Ray calls improv. Improv that.
Starting point is 00:10:17 And if you come to our show you'll be able to see some of that. See loads of that. Just on the spot. Imagine Skate so you can come up with anything you want
Starting point is 00:10:25 and Ray came up with sexy company at peacock employer so that's brilliant isn't it you do want them scape now
Starting point is 00:10:34 um sad cunts ate penis eggs yeah that's what that is also what our charity is for as well
Starting point is 00:10:43 for the sad little cunts what ate their penises. And unfortunately we've got to collect money for them to take them on an adventure other than. So, here's the second part of the Richard interview. If you, look, there'll be people complaining about it, but if you've got half a brain you'll see what happens. Yeah. Don't forget our show is Peacock and Humble, don't even want to be on telly anyway. 9.40 at the Pleasant's Dome. Dome. Okay we're getting
Starting point is 00:11:08 your hot dogs now. Oh yes. Peacock and Gamble. Peacock and Gamble. What's Stuart Lee like in real life? I think they're quite nice in real life.
Starting point is 00:11:16 Stuart Lee is it? Yeah. Oh. Stuart Lee. Dustin G written down. Got next up. Sorry carry on. I'll do my research next time. he's he's all he's sort of similar he is an a um the thing is when we work together we work together all the fucking time yeah uh like all the time i don't know how much spent time you two spend together but we would like really and when
Starting point is 00:11:38 we met at university we did stuff for three years then we came to london lived in the same house begin with and we're sort of writing writing and live in the same writing and you know doing everything it was so we just sort of argued a lot as we as certainly as it progressed and i think we're both kind of quite competitive in different ways but and both you know both had very strong views about what we thought was funny and what wasn't funny so we'd spend a day arguing about a word in a sentence when when you look back you think actually a or the would have worked yeah it doesn't matter which one it was they were both often you'd argue for a long time about something but both versions were funny you know and there was no there's no way of really saying which is properly funny unless you went and did it in front of 20 audiences and took a
Starting point is 00:12:17 clapometer with you yeah but um you know we would we'd sort of waste a lot of time but we it became a little bit stressful but since since we've stopped working with each other, it's always kind of nice to see him and he's usually quite friendly. When you're working together, if you're just knocking about in the house where you live together, which sounds lovely, by the way,
Starting point is 00:12:32 and I would like that. I've said that for a while. I would like it if me and her lived together. Yeah, I think it'd be a nightmare. I think it'd be brilliant. Did you, when it was just you two together, was it vaguely herbarotic? Did you ever make funny jokes about,
Starting point is 00:12:43 oh, we'll kiss each other? No. Right, well, then we thought of that. Whenever we had to do anything, even a little bit like that, when there was a Thelma and Louise sketch we had to do where we were dressed up as women and we were meant to the end,
Starting point is 00:12:54 obviously the joke was instead of driving over the cliff, they decided to lez up at the end of the... Nice. And so what we did was we just sort of went... We stuck out our tongues and just kept our heads away from each other and felt each other's breasts. And so what we did was we just sort of went, we stuck out our tongues and just kept our heads away from each other and felt each other's breasts.
Starting point is 00:13:08 And the director said, it would be better if you actually kissed when it said, no, no, this is much funnier doing this. So we were actually,
Starting point is 00:13:13 and it was kind of funny that the idea of lezzing up was to just touch each other's breasts while licking your own breasts. That's the boys' idea. But also, I think we would have
Starting point is 00:13:20 just been massively uncomfortable about even pretending to do that for a joke. So I don't think, maybe because there was a real, tension rather rather we're kissing on the back of our flyer we might have kissed him and we might we might have done something you know but we we always felt quite awkward when we touched each other but when we were students he tried to
Starting point is 00:13:36 wank me off with a ventriloquist dummy yes and also once in a pub when he was really drunk he tried to get my cock out when and he was just properly trying to get it out and I wasn't drunk maybe if I had been it could have been a different story he was going leave me alone he was going
Starting point is 00:13:48 no come on he was in the pub anyway we were in the pub he was actually trying to get my cock out I don't think he remembers that one maybe he was going
Starting point is 00:13:53 I just can't I just want to talk about it I just want to talk about it and that is my idea so maybe maybe we were even more repressed and really truly
Starting point is 00:14:02 in love with each other that we couldn't even joke about it but I think it was it was sort of an odd relationship because you know we did
Starting point is 00:14:07 there was this sort of there was this element of competition within it I think that I don't think was very helpful for the double act and Stu was always
Starting point is 00:14:13 a little bit reluctant to be doing the double act or he could play that card anyway for me the double act was everything or nearly everything I was doing Edinburgh shows
Starting point is 00:14:20 on my own and doing other stuff but I wasn't doing stand up and the double act very much became my whole focus and he was doing solo stand up but i think he sort of was able even if even this wasn't the case he was able to play this card of you know i'm you know i'm doing this to
Starting point is 00:14:32 help you out right okay you know and i'm doing my own thing and i you know i think in the end it was it was good for us both to have had that all that time working together and then go off and do our own thing yeah and i think it was right you know it was definitely the right decision for him i think to do solo stuff that he could do with a funny bloke coming in and messing around.
Starting point is 00:14:48 If you were in a film together now if you were cast in a film together now would you be able to kiss him now though? I think he would
Starting point is 00:14:53 find it. Don't worry about him. I was always If I brought him in here now say he was here I would do it
Starting point is 00:15:00 I would do it right now. And I brought him in you would kiss him on the lips. If it was for a film. Right.
Starting point is 00:15:03 If I was filming it. Just say for argument's sake he's here now right. Just say that. I'll do it right and I brought him in you would kiss him on the lips if it was for a film right if I was filming just say for argument's sake he's here now right just say that I'll do it for argument's sake
Starting point is 00:15:10 he wants to do it I'll do it I think we're both quite self conscious we're both we think way too much about everything
Starting point is 00:15:17 and I'm socially very self conscious I think and he's we're both it's almost a kind of crippling form of self-consciousness,
Starting point is 00:15:26 you know, that it sort of stops you doing stuff in real life. I found by doing comedy I can get all that stuff out on stage and it's sort of fine, whereas I don't think Stu did.
Starting point is 00:15:34 Stu never really liked doing sketches or stuff. You know, he liked to do and be himself. He didn't really ever like doing characters and I think when he really
Starting point is 00:15:42 let himself go in acting, he was really brilliant and really funny. I think Pliny, from History go in acting he was really brilliant and really funny I think Pliny from History on Pliny is genuinely the funniest thing
Starting point is 00:15:48 he's ever done that's my favourite one as well it's the man with the puppet that says shut up he doesn't say that
Starting point is 00:15:57 he doesn't say that but you know and when he really you know with something like The Teachers or when they did the seven thing
Starting point is 00:16:04 where he had to be Brad Pitt I wasn't in that one but all the boys in that one it's Kev being Kevin Spacey and Kevin Eldon he's being casual
Starting point is 00:16:11 Carlton Vixen who was one of our associate producers and he's written other stuff since then was Morgan Freeman in it and they really because they had guns and stuff
Starting point is 00:16:19 they really started taking it really seriously and then really acting properly so when he tried he's almost like too self-conscious to to fail so you know it's right it's that thing where you're a bit cool yeah and so you don't want to you it's better not to try something because if you fail it looks stupid but if you don't try it you can look kind of cool yeah i think a little bit but when he let
Starting point is 00:16:36 himself go he was always really funny and i think what's interesting with this stand-up now is he i think he's much more playful and uh you know childish at times. I mean, we basically both do each other in the solo acts. Oh! We have conversations. What? Mate! Richard! That is disgusting.
Starting point is 00:16:53 That's not an act. What sort of act is that? What would you call an act like that? But yeah, he does my voice. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We're having conversations with him. We're having a dialogue with ourself
Starting point is 00:17:06 we'll use each other's voice a little bit I remember chatting to you about that when he what's his thing called the comedy vehicle
Starting point is 00:17:12 yeah when that first series of that and he was doing and it was you yeah it was very much you but there was no reference
Starting point is 00:17:18 at all it was me and I wasn't in it and everyone else this morning Richard on duty was in it it was kind of a bit like
Starting point is 00:17:23 hold on yeah and people are always going Stu Stu it does sound like Richard people are doing
Starting point is 00:17:29 Richard mainly was doing that did he not even ask you to be in it he did ask me to be in one sketch and then they kind of didn't
Starting point is 00:17:36 they didn't want to do it but no he's never really asked me to be in any like he does all these little curated shows and his favourite stand ups
Starting point is 00:17:42 and he's doing this show for for his alternative Michael McIntyre show of good acts. And you're wearing that. We're doing that. Are we? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:52 Wind him up. Wind him up with it. He sounds horrible. Sounds like a horrible boy. He is horrible. He's made me feel like he's horrible. But I think it's sort of you've got to kind of
Starting point is 00:18:03 move on, haven't you? So it's kind of we get occasion to do of move on haven't you so it's kind of we get occasion to do little things together and we did a podcast together what podcast Leicester Square Theatre podcast the future
Starting point is 00:18:11 Chorton Award winning podcast we done do you remember when we done the Leicester Square for years ago yep we done that the Ray Peacock podcast
Starting point is 00:18:18 the little our final one more underground our one but it's still sold out now yeah yeah ours was more underground and for a more specific audience. It's genuinely more underground.
Starting point is 00:18:27 Yeah, massively underground. One layer down. Couldn't be further under the ground. The main room is still underground, though. Oh, yeah, isn't it? So we are more underground than that one. You're under the underground. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:37 You're like the Wombles. Yeah, we didn't even have stage lights. We just waited for a tube to go past it. And that is how it lit it. Oh, well, that's good then. I'm glad that you had a nice time on your podcast with him. We're in Edinburgh now, technically. Just pretend we are.
Starting point is 00:18:54 Right, pretend we are. What have you got to cheer us up now it's all going badly? Yeah. The idea that if you do it for about another seven fringes we haven't got that time it'll start to get fun no we need to be like, you know when someone just goes where have these guys come from
Starting point is 00:19:12 you know when that happens in Edinburgh you don't know, it happens to you but you had your five star eventually because for ages you were whining that you didn't have a five star review I've always had reasonably good reviews and to be honest they didn't do a five star review but you know I've always had reasonably good reviews but they weren't and to be honest they didn't do stars
Starting point is 00:19:26 really many the papers all started putting stars in oh that's a no star review yeah you'd never had a star no they always they always did them Richard
Starting point is 00:19:34 they were always they're just not I think even the Scotsman you know I've been go back so far I mean they all start doing I think a lot of them are stopping doing it
Starting point is 00:19:40 because the thing is if you put stars on people just look at the stars and they don't read the reviews it's not helpful for the journalist it's good for the comedian they could put put stars on it just people just look at the stars and they don't read the reviews it's not helpful for the journalist yeah it's good for the comedian they could put five stars on if they but then even if you get four stars i think not five stars so you can get like pissy about it which i think i you know i thought i felt then that was 10 years ago you know i was sort of thinking i've been up here so many times it's
Starting point is 00:19:58 kind of bizarre that i'm not and i was struggling to get an audience i really i genuinely didn't really there's lots of great things i liked about it, and it was really good to... I was writing plays and really pushing myself and trying different things. But I genuinely didn't enjoy it until probably 2007 was probably the first year I started doing it. But if we want a quick fix to this... What we want is...
Starting point is 00:20:20 Someone's coming along and going, right, this is what a great live experience. Yeah. What we want to do is we then want a disappointing transfer to television. And then for it
Starting point is 00:20:30 to all just fall apart and both just get on with their own things. Yeah, yeah. Someone just, what? Well,
Starting point is 00:20:35 we have to travel back in time to when there were less people trying. Here's what we need, right? This is an ideal world, right? You know that you get
Starting point is 00:20:43 a word of mouth in that and it's like, oh, all the comedians like them different are brilliant brilliant and then that sort of spills out listen can you not right you know some people yeah right now all right i am sorry about all the fun that we have poked at you over the years and i hope you know that it was all in jest and that we did do the podcast first that is true and then you did one as well but and we're not even bothered about that and we're not even bothered that you won the chortle awards over us all right we are bothered
Starting point is 00:21:07 about that but but it's like we're not you're not jealous and that we like we think you're a nice boy and like you and you're always very kind and you've agreed to come on the show thank you and also specifically for me because you had a short fat area one in a double act and i can relate with that because i know how horrible that can be he was in one with steve lee i'm telling you right we're just in jane right now listen so what we need really ideally and you've done it once on twitter i think where you say oh oh they are really good right because like sometimes your fans come to you on twitter and go yeah but i see i don't even twitter isn't enough now but listen just listen what we need but i can do it but i have to do it all the time
Starting point is 00:21:41 yes yes yes this is what i've been doing this morning, right? I put on Twitter, how does a show get buzz? And then straight afterwards I put, I've been hearing a lot of buzz about Peacock and Gamble. Yeah, right. And a couple of people have caught on to it and they've been saying, if you, straight after this, right? Yeah. Go and say, I've been hearing a lot of buzz about Peacock and Gamble. Right, he's got his phone now. Right.
Starting point is 00:22:01 Just do it now. Yeah, do it now. Because the other day you said Naughty Keefer, you liked it a lot. I did Naughty Keefer, it was very funny. That do it now. Yeah, do it now. Because the other day you said Naughty Keefer, you liked it a lot. I did. Naughty Keefer's very funny. That's the sentence. Don't make it funny. Just say it. I am hearing a lot of buzz.
Starting point is 00:22:10 I'm going to put a little code in for my fans so they know I'm being sarcastic. I like you guys. I think you've made me laugh more than I've laughed all year. Right, thanks. That's a good start. Probably even longer than that. And did I mention about the bloke on Twitter who said to him that they're listening to you? Yeah. And I liked that you said back to him that, um, did this in you? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:25 And I liked that you didn't, um, that you said back to him, um, that, yes, they are awesome. And then I put it in and went,
Starting point is 00:22:32 I don't think that's what he wanted you to say. Um, but I, last year in Edinburgh, I wrote a blog about saying, you know, I'm,
Starting point is 00:22:38 I think the way Stuart became successful in Edinburgh was just to sort of tell everyone he was brilliant. And then it started getting printed up. So I said, I sort of decided in my blog and in the podcast to say i was going to say people been calling me the king of edinburgh yeah and then and then they start to call it then but then
Starting point is 00:22:52 people join in with it and start calling the king of edinburgh but within a year or two you can just put king of edinburgh yeah i mean i could already do it i can put the king of edinburgh the list because they did they did print that so then it, you know, it can become this sort of self- The newly American. The newly American. Right, why don't we now, now that we're in Edinburgh now, why don't us, Peacock and Gamble and Richard Herring, have an arrogant race? And see who can be the most arrogant about and petulant about themselves.
Starting point is 00:23:17 Right. So we'll start that off. We're better than Richard Herring. Right, now you reply to that. No, I'm better than Peacock and Gamble put together. Yeah, well. If that's what they're called. I've lost heart with Richard.
Starting point is 00:23:29 Right, you have won that. I'm looking forward to, I'm going to tweet this now. What does it say? I'm hearing a lot of buzz about Peacock and Gamble. I bet you five people will tweet about it before the end of this conversation saying, are they bumblebees? Or something like that. Right, okay.
Starting point is 00:23:42 This is what I hate about Twitter now, is you have to kind of self-censor before you put something in in order to think about what joke the people are going to make I either have to put the joke in it or don't put this joke
Starting point is 00:23:51 about this or try and write it in a different way so they won't do it I did a joke about how it would be good if Big Brother contestants
Starting point is 00:23:57 if there was a press gang to get Big Brother contestants so the joke being that they didn't choose it that it was just that someone went and hit people over the head
Starting point is 00:24:05 and you got put in the Big Brother house. I tweeted and thought, everyone's going to just say, what, Julius Suwala and Dexter Fletcher? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I still tweet and that's exactly what happened. You've kissed her! I have.
Starting point is 00:24:15 Dexter Fletcher? Yeah, he has kissed Dexter Fletcher! I've kissed a girl who's kissed Dexter Fletcher. Ugh. Don't follow that thought. I imagine you could just taste brute in a mouth. I think Dexter Fletcher wears brute, definitely. The other day you tweeted, I can't see any good reason as to why David Blunkett doesn't
Starting point is 00:24:36 have Twitter. Yeah. And someone tweeted back with, he wouldn't be able to see or answer his tweets. I nearly tweeted that. Sorry, I retweeted it. I nearly tweeted back and said, well well Chris McCawson is on Twitter and he's blind so there must be
Starting point is 00:24:47 some way of doing it yeah but you are always defending all the disabled people aren't you you are the you are the king of Edinburgh and you are the king
Starting point is 00:24:54 of the disabled people I am they're like my they're my little bat I believe it to be honest that's not a difficult crown to steal they'll do my bidding
Starting point is 00:25:01 whenever I want that's the thing I can follow you are don't get angry at this, you are King Mong. Right. Now that was just a,
Starting point is 00:25:07 no that was a, listen, that was a play on words for King Kong, so don't get angry about it. That was, unlike Mr Gervais, I can defend that joke.
Starting point is 00:25:15 It was a pun, it was, it's hard, it was a pun. It's hard, and I'm going to even now say. Well as long as you do one using a racial epithet next,
Starting point is 00:25:22 then I'm happy. As long as you, as long as you appreciate that that is the same. Right, then. As saying... Right, you are King Paki. Right, then. There is one now.
Starting point is 00:25:32 Okay. So you can't say that. That wasn't successful. Give me another naughty thing to say. Richard Ayer is telling me to say naughty things. I'll say something this interview's over isn't it
Starting point is 00:25:46 this is how comedians work hey pushing the boundaries you went there I went there sister yeah
Starting point is 00:25:52 have you tweeted it three tweets in so far yeah it's the flies royal and doodle says it's the flies what are those ones
Starting point is 00:26:03 they are the best double act single singly in Herring. I think they mean since. Your fans can't even spell the word since. We are like a single
Starting point is 00:26:12 in Herring. They are the best double act single in Herring. I wish they had said they are the better one double act since. Fail to load
Starting point is 00:26:20 the term line. Herring 96.7 Ed Fringe if you will. Smile Edinburgh Fringe if you will smile Edinburgh Fringe don't understand right so I think
Starting point is 00:26:28 I think we can wrap this interview up now knowing that the buzz for Peacock and Gumball has been only strengthened by Richard Herring can you do that like maybe once a day
Starting point is 00:26:39 yeah sure I think see I think even when I tweet about anything I'm doing like it makes about three people out of the 96,000. That's fine.
Starting point is 00:26:48 That's fine. It's my fringe, will you? Because we do it every day. So one of us every day has to remind Richard to say, Richard, buzz tweet. And then Richard has straight away got to say some sort of thing about, oh, there is a lot of buzz about Peacock and Gamble. Oh, Peacock and Gamble are the big buzz.
Starting point is 00:27:03 Here's one as well. This is one because I searched my name on Twitter as well. Same. You've got to stop doing it, man. I like it. Just saw Richard Herring was going to say, Hi, I'm listening to your podcast. Then realised he wasn't Adam Buxton.
Starting point is 00:27:17 That's quite sweet, though. Yeah. Imagine if it had said, But unfortunately he was with Ray Peacock. It was the better one. It was the better of the two people and we're both nice well it's been lovely
Starting point is 00:27:26 to be here at the Edinburgh Fringe it has hasn't it and is your show going well yes are you selling out yes fine we're not
Starting point is 00:27:33 well I think the Olympics is having an effect on the ticket sales no you're thinking of the Paralympics sorry I'm sorry it makes me want
Starting point is 00:27:41 to be naughty when I see you you're in the big purple car, aren't you? I'm in the upside down, underbelly car. Oh, yeah. Oh, listen to this. Our stage manager was speaking to us the other day, who's also your stage manager, Sophie.
Starting point is 00:27:56 And guess what? She had a dream. This is genuinely true. Genuinely true, right? How do you feel about this? She had a dream that she broke her leg. Yeah. So couldn't get from your show to our show
Starting point is 00:28:05 in time. So decided to just do our show. Yeah. Blimey. What do you think of that? That's awful. She wants to just do our show.
Starting point is 00:28:13 That means subconsciously that she only wants to do our show. She does. I feel slighted. I haven't even started yet. She doesn't want to sit for yours.
Starting point is 00:28:19 What she's subconsciously probably saying. So how do you feel about that? I'm a bit upset and I'm going to have a sack. I'm going to get a sack. Oh, that I'm a bit upset and I'm going to have a sack going to get a sack going to get a sack
Starting point is 00:28:28 from the whole Edinburgh I can do that I can go in and say listen I've heard some bad stuff going down and take out just
