Welcome to the Peacock and Gamble podcast.
Hello and welcome to the Peacock and Gamble podcast.
I don't even know what that accent is.
I am, this is a special message from the German Peacock and Gamble.
That's German, is it?
I am German Ed Gamble, all the way here in Frankfurter.
And I am Ray Peacock.
No, you're German Ray Peacock.
I am a German Ray Peacock.
Do your voice properly.
Don't do an impression of the English one.
Oi, sausages.
Do a war.
How's that for German?
Well, it's very nice to be asked to do the...
You sound Dutch. All right, all right, we're the Dutch ones. All right, then. What's that for German? Well it's very nice to be asked to do the... You sound Dutch!
Alright, alright, we're the Dutch ones.
Nice to be asked...
German, Germany, Germany...
Germany!
My name is German!
Okay, very welcome to be a German!
Hallo!
Nice to be here for the German
Peacock und Campbell!
We have been asked
to do a diplomatic
message
all the way
from Germany
why have you
turned into
Rolf from
the Muppet Show
because I was
looking at a
figure of him
of a bust of him
all the way
from Germany
now
it is wonderful
there's hands
across the ocean
all the way
to
shut up
we enjoy the English people
we are very popular here in Germany
we are on the television
we have our own show
oh shut up
yeah shut up you German idiot
yeah we work hard
do you know what was weird about that then
is that your German accent actually started to work
did it
you started really bad.
Yeah.
But then the more you did it, it got quite nice and actually went into quite a nice, relatively subtle German accent.
That happens with all my...
My actual voice in the morning, rubbish, doesn't sound like me at all.
As I go through the day, I sound more and more like me.
By the time you've taken delivery from Love Honey, you're alright.
One of your parcels from Love Honey that you're always getting these days.
Yeah, yeah.
Dirty boy.
Well, everyone will be able to see one of the things that I got from Love Honey in the show on February 24th.
Oh, yeah, we should do that this week, actually, because last week we didn't do it until the very end.
No, we should plug it early, shouldn't we?
Yeah, and that was stupid.
Yeah.
Because sometimes people turn it off.
Yeah.
And they won't hear the last bit as well.
So if you want to come to our Spunk Everywhere special,
which is, we were going to call it
the Peacock and Gamble emergency broadcast.
Yeah.
But then last week, I think I hit on something.
You want to call it the Spunk Everywhere special?
I think I captured lightning in a bottle
and realised that probably the time was right
in entertainment at the moment.
Right.
Like, what show has got Spunk Everywhere at the moment?
Nothing.
No shows have got spunk everywhere.
You're probably right.
So what we should do to spunk everywhere, Peacock and Gamble show.
There's nowhere called the emergency broadcast though, is there?
A show called emergency broadcast.
Yes, yes.
Hospital.
Hospital.
Yeah.
That's your answer to that.
Yeah, that's where there is one.
And there's probably spunk everywhere in a hospital as well.
The accident and emergency broadcast.
And why would there be spunk in a hospital? Alright, in a sperm clinic. Anyway, you're around there. You're disgusting what you do in A&E. With all them
vulnerable people. Welcome to the show. You're welcome.
So, the spunk show we're doing, spunk everywhere show. No, it's called the Peacock and Gamble
Emergency Broadcast.
It's at King's Place.
It's at King's Place in London.
This coming Thursday, 24th February.
24th February, yes, please.
Thank you very much for that.
0207 520 1490, that's the box office, or on kingsplace.co.uk.
You can get tickets on there as well.
Is it ready?
Better be by now.
It is a bit ready, isn't it?
A little bit ready, yeah.
We hope it is anyway.
We were just discussing that, certainly in my head,
when I think of the show happening,
I imagine a set.
A massive set, yeah.
Yeah, like a TV set.
Well, you just told me you've imagined one bit
where there's a riverbank.
Yeah, I imagined a riverbank for one bit.
Real grass.
I feel like we're going to get there the other day
and go, where is the riverbank?
I've got a little feeling that we'll get there the other day
and they won't have pre-prepared a riverbank without being asked. Yeah, Kingsplay's going to go, you never mentioned having a riverbank? I've got a little feeling that we'll get there on the day and they won't have pre-prepared a riverbank
without being asked.
Yeah,
Kingsway's going to go,
you never mentioned
having a riverbank.
And even if you had,
we wouldn't have made
you a riverbank.
No.
It's just going to be
a bare stage, mate.
Why will no London venue
pre-empt your riverbank?
That's what I want.
That's why we stopped
doing it at the
Leicester Square Theatre
and all that.
They would never
pre-empt a riverbank.
They would never pre-empt
and then just stick us in a corner and take all our money.
It's essentially what they did when they put something on in the big room that hardly
sells any tickets, in my opinion.
And I keep thinking, because it's a very ambitious show, the emergency broadcast, I think.
Oh, it's full of ambition.
We're plucky, lads.
Oh, we are plucky.
It won't look like it is.
No, it'll look bare, because there won't be a riverbank.
Yeah.
Imagine a riverbank.
And when you watch it, you'll be going, well, what bit of this is ambitious?
Right, but it actually is.
If you break it down
to its component parts,
it is very ambitious.
Which we're yet to do.
We've not learnt it yet.
No.
We've not learnt it,
but I've typed it up.
Yeah, well done.
I've typed up a lot of it
and we've had the ideas
and we've got some props
for some bits.
Yeah.
Like what will often happen is,
for example, say that we need a prop.
Yeah.
A fishing rod, for example.
Right, okay, yeah.
Say we need a fishing rod
and say we need a pot of honey.
Yeah.
Right?
They're just two things off the top of my head.
Yeah.
What we've done so far is we've gone,
right, well, let's buy the string for the fishing rod.
And then we've stopped thinking about it.
Yeah, and then that is it.
Yeah, not thought about it anymore
write down
string for fishing rod
we do need that
we do actually need
string for fishing rod
but it'll be
it's going to be a laugh
either way
it'll be a laugh
just watching us
trying to do it
and we do appreciate
because we have sold
a lot of tickets
so we do appreciate
the people that have
bought the tickets
that have been
hoodwinked into that
and we hope that
some more of you
are as stupid hoodwinked? yeah what's that all about? what do you mean? where yeah. They've been hoodwinked into that. Yeah. And we hope that some more of you are as stupid.
Hoodwinked?
Yeah.
What's that all about?
What do you mean?
Where does that come from?
Hoodwinked.
Yeah.
Of course, in the olden days,
when people had to wear rods,
and often what would happen is,
is around the pubs in East End London,
Yeah.
by gaslight,
people would be in the pubs with their rods up.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Why?
Why?
Why?
And we'll tell you.
All right.
Playing cards.
Because nowadays, you have what you call a poker face. Yeah. Yeah. Why? Why? Why? And we'll tell you. Alright. Playing cards. Because nowadays,
you have what you
call a poker face.
Yeah.
You know, you have
to keep a very
straight face and
that, you play cards.
You do, yeah.
Or smirk, whatever
you decide to do.
When they had
huds, they didn't
have to do that.
Right.
Because the huds
would cover their
faces.
But every now and
again, all the other
players, right, would
gang up on one
player.
Right.
Right, to make them
lose.
Right.
So what they'd do
is, those players would just pull the ruds back a little bit
and all wink at each other.
As if to go,
right, we're getting Charlie out of this.
We're getting Charlie out of this game, right?
And that's where the phrase,
to be hoodwinked.
And they hoodwinked him by saying,
come and join the game, it'll all be fair.
Yeah, they were all winking from under the ruds.
So that's how Charlie got hoodwinked in that particular game and another thing that i
want to know what's that all about yeah i should do a section of it what's that all about i know
it does sound a bit like an open spot comedian but i like it as well let's do what's that all
about every week i'll do um a little sort of uh jingle for it all right who was that all about
yeah that's good it's mostly americans here. So what we have to do every week
is we have to perform our first bit of comedy
and then we'll discuss what's that all about.
So this week, I'm on the stage. Hi, good evening
everybody. Nice to be here. I'll tell you what
confuses me, right? Golf
sale. What's that all about?
Right, and now we discuss golf sales.
And now we discuss golf sales. Why do
they have people holding signs?
Why is it golf sales?
To direct people to the golf sale.
I get that, but why are golf sales so specifically used?
Why are they so hidden away?
I don't know.
Because it's always golf sales.
They are hidden and they need...
I think it's because golf sales will pop up and then go away.
Why, though?
I'm not talking like the faraway tree,
like the land at the top of the faraway tree.
Yeah, but I understand
it'll be fireworks
because that's once a year.
I get it then.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just because I think
they probably, golf sales,
I don't know why
specifically golf sales,
probably, this is all
conjecture.
If you don't know,
just say I don't know.
We'll take over an
empty shop space that
we'll just rent it
for like a day.
Right.
Try and sell all this
stock that they've got
and then piss off.
But in London
on Regent Street
there's one like
down from Hamley's
the big toy shop
there's always a man
there holding
golf sale
pointing across the road
so I presume
that's a permanent shop.
But they never
look permanent do they
because there's always
big cardboard signs
outside them.
I don't know
I've never seen
the actual shop.
Have you never
seen the shop?
No.
I think it's porn
or like
porn
yeah or gambling.
I think it is an
anagram of gambling.
Golf sale and
they're like all
winking from
under their
hoods.
It's all linked
isn't it?
Yeah come down
this.
Hey do you
want to come
over to this
golf sale?
Have sex with
a child.
That's what
it might mean
that.
It might.
I don't know
if it does or
not.
That might be
what they're
saying.
Wink wink.
Yeah wink wink from under your hood.
Yeah, so...
Anyway, 24th of February.
Yeah, that...
Comment if you want.
We'll have a laugh.
You can meet us afterwards.
You can meet Ed, I'll be gone.
I feel like we've not had a catch-up for ages.
Do you?
I feel like we've just gone
headlong into these podcasts.
We've not given anything away, really,
about our personal lives, other than the fact that you had the end of your cock cut off. Yeah, you these podcasts. We've not given anything away really about our personal lives other than the fact that you had the end of your cock cut off.
Yeah, you're right.
We've not given anything away apart from an incredibly intimate and painful operation.
Do you know what?
We never got to the operation last week.
No, we didn't.
So we should discuss that later on.
Yeah.
And also, I started a story last week in that bit and didn't finish it.
Oh, sorry, mate.
No, I don't think it was your fault.
It was to do with when you first recorded
with me and Raji
yeah
and I didn't then explain
no
why you fainted
because Raji had
an operation
on his penis
yeah not the same one
I don't think
no he had the
economy one
yeah he had a v-neck
yeah he had a v-neck
cut in it
he had a little
primark v-neck
you had the lotto
of yours mate
so you are better
yeah he had what I believe
is known as a dorsal slit
yeah stupid Raji.
High five.
Ah.
Ah.
Kills that.
Really makes your palm burn, doesn't it?
My boiler broke.
Did she?
Yeah.
She broke last night.
No, she broke the other day.
And I got a man out to come and fix it.
Yeah.
We came round and fixed it, and then it broke again.
I don't think boilers are ever fixed the first time.
Is that...
You always hear people go oh my boiler's
broken.
Oh I'm having
trouble with my
boiler.
Yeah.
The guy that directed
our short film that
we're showing at
Emergency Broadcast.
Yeah.
His boiler went and
he had to stay up all
night in case his
house flooded.
Maybe.
Even though it had
been fixed.
Maybe there is only
one boiler and when
you go to sleep a
little boiler fairy
comes in, takes the
boiler, pops it in
someone else's house
who they are awake
and looking at the
boiler.
So when it breaks
everyone's boiler breaks because it is the same boiler. And you're never going to fix the boiler, pops it in someone else's house who they're awake and looking at the boiler. So when it breaks, everyone's boiler breaks
because it's the same boiler. And you're never going
to fix the boiler because it travels so much.
Yeah, I'm going to pull you up on this.
Remember we often say that we like
the bits when I will start saying
like the hoodwink thing I said earlier. We like that
because I make them sound plausible.
I'm trying. So even though I'm just making stuff up
like the hoodwink, it sounds vaguely
plausible. I was trying that. As to where that's a phrase coming from. I was trying that So even though I'm just making stuff up, like the hood with it, it sounds vaguely plausible. I was trying that.
As to where that's a phrase coming from.
I was trying that with the boiler fairy.
Yeah, you said the boiler,
a boiler,
there's only one boiler in the world
that runs round at night.
No, did you say,
no, the boiler fairy gets it.
It doesn't run round,
you can't have a boiler that runs round.
The fairy carries it.
Of course,
of course the boiler wouldn't have legs with it.
No.
What an idiot I'm being.
Yeah.
I had another,
the guy that came round there,
my house is a curse
for people coming in here
to fix things
like we discussed
with Evil Monkey
that time years ago
and again
bloke came in
straight away
oh I like your figures
I'm like oh fine
just will you please
just do your job
just fix the boiler
please
don't come
it's not a museum
I don't want
it is a bit like a museum
there's no guest book
I don't want comments on it.
Just come in and do it.
You should have a guest book.
I should have a guest book,
although it'll just say Ed.
Yeah, again.
About 500 times.
I have to move some bookcases
to get to my thermostat.
It's behind some bookcases
and it moves quite easily
on the wooden floors.
So I move them.
All right.
But I move them.
But on the top of these bookcases
there's a Kota Bukayo figure,
which is a Japanese company,
of Han Solo and one of Chewbacca
and one of Princess Leia
and as I'm moving it
I could see him
looking at him
and I'm moving it
and I knew he wouldn't
fall off pretty sturdy
and he went
oh mind the Ewok
and everything
I had to actually
bite my lip
because if I'd gone
to Wookie
it's not an Ewok
it would have been
a conversation
then it would have been
well what's an Ewok
and then I'd have to
have gone and got an Ewok
and brought that and said that's an Ewok that's a Wookie Ewok it would have been well what's an Ewok and then I'd have to have gone and got an Ewok and brought that
and said alright
that's an Ewok
that's a Wookiee
Ewok's nice
but a Wookiee's a very big
and he'd go
well what's the difference
I'd say
clearly the difference
is the height there
right
please fix me
fucking boiler
please
I'm begging you
and then you can have a play
yeah and then you can have
a little play around
there's already a Welsh bloke
in the other room
he'll help
literally just sat there
staring at a monkey pointing back at at him, it's really weird.
So what have you been up to?
Oh, I went and did a show yesterday in Leicester, did a couple of shows.
Oh yeah, Leicester Comedy Festival, you did your first hour.
Did an hour? Well, like 56 minutes.
Did you fall short?
Yeah, about four minutes.
But that is alright, when people say an hour, when they're doing an hour in like Edinburgh or something,
they usually do between 50 minutes and an hour.
Right, well it should have been an hour though, you advertised an hour. You went on Facebook giving it, oh my first hour, when they're doing an hour in like Edinburgh or something, they usually do between 50 minutes and an hour. Right, well, it should have been an hour, though.
You advertised an hour.
You went on Facebook giving it,
oh, my first hour, my first hour.
Well, my first hour is a different thing, isn't it?
I would say to people who went to that,
I'd actually put in a written complaint
and say it did say it was advertised everywhere as an hour.
You can have a pound back each.
Don't say that.
That's mental.
That's a load of money.
Oh, they won't listen to this.
Do you know what I think?
Some of them,
well, they certainly won't now
if you haven't already.
But some of them
might have used to listen to it.
You can't have a pound back each.
How did you get on with it?
Was it good?
Yeah, it was fun.
Yeah, literally just done
all my jokes that I could remember.
I heard it went well
and I heard it sold well.
Yeah, it sold alright, mate.
It was like 50 people there.
That's good.
It only held 50.
Yeah.
So you can't go wrong with that.
Yeah, exactly.
And you did all your jokes? Done all my jokes. I made sure everyone knew that it wasn't only out 50. Yeah. So you can't go wrong with that. Yeah, exactly. And you did all your jokes?
Done all my jokes.
I made sure everyone knew
that it wasn't really a show.
Right.
You know when you go and see a show.
You did that at the beginning.
Yeah.
You know when you go,
oh, I'll go and see a show,
like a fringe show.
Yeah.
You expect like,
at least there'll be a story
running through it
or there'll be a theme
or a family member
will pass away at the end.
Yeah, something like that.
At the very least.
Yeah, at the very least, the comic will cry.
Yeah.
Absolute.
That's all I would require at the moment from a comedy show.
I'm going to say that, but my hour at the moment is quite sad in places.
Yeah.
But I do puncture that sadness with some ridiculous comments.
You do, it's lovely.
Yeah, that's right.
I basically went on at the beginning, I said, look, this is just an hour of jokes, wasn't it?
That was a lie for a start of 56 minutes.
Yeah. And like four minutes. That's one minute gone already. jokes wasn't that was a lie for a start of 56 minutes and like 4 minutes
gone already
so that was something
so 53 minutes
and I'd say
about 5 minutes
of it was titting about
so not that long
I didn't do
I'm really sorry everybody
you've basically
let everyone down
including yourself
and your family
so I said
it's not really a show
there's not a theme
or a story
running through it
it's showing off at
this point yeah they're already there yeah and you're going ah you all came and it's gonna be
rubbish haha it doesn't matter now though it's starting i've got your money haha so what i said
was what i'll do if it makes you feel better i'll do all my jokes and then at the end we can just
say it's been about forgiveness nice and have people taken that yeah they laughed they like
that i dropped i dropped to that end throughout yeah um and at the end and i went i think we've forgiveness. Nice. And have people taken that? Yeah, they laughed, they liked that. I dropped that in
throughout and at
the end I went,
I think we've all
learnt that you've
got to forgive
everyone.
You have got to
forgive everyone.
That's a beautiful
message for a show.
I think if you were
to take that show
to Edinburgh now,
you would definitely
win one of the
awards.
Which one?
Ed Gamble,
the, um,
um,
Nobel Peace Prize. It's so unlikely you couldn't even make one up in time. No, the Nobel Peace Prize.
It's so unlikely
you couldn't even
make one up in time.
No, the Nobel Peace Prize.
Oh, thank you, mate.
Which I believe
they are giving to
an Edinburgh show this year.
Yeah, thanks, mate.
Well, that sounds really good.
Sounds like a fun...
I read on our website
this morning,
peacockandgamble.com,
somebody on there
on the forum
apparently went to the show.
I'd come from London to see it.
Went from London to see it
and then got stranded in Leicester.
Yeah, I didn't realise
he had come from London to see it. That's what he said. and then got stranded in Leicester. Yeah, I didn't realise he had come from London to see it.
Well, that's what he said.
He said in his post,
is it a predator?
Yeah.
That's his name on the forum.
Yeah.
Well, I thought it was just
a name on the forum.
He turned up,
I could just see this
shimmery thing in the room.
He turned around,
turned back
and half the audience had gone.
Yeah, and then there was
this little triangle of laser.
Yeah.
Yeah, maybe he is
a real predator.
You'd think he'd be able to get himself home then, from Leicester.
Yeah.
He'd probably have a spaceship.
He said, oh, there's no trains back from Leicester to London.
After 10.
Yeah, I'll tell you what I would have done in that scenario.
Checked in advance?
I'd have definitely, in advance, I'd have gone, right, is my train there?
Yeah.
Right, oh, hang on, I'm not going to get back.
Oh, yeah, there's my train back, that's fine.
Or I would have gone
oh no train's back
is Ed Gamble worth
being an homeless
for a night for
so that's what's happened
but he obviously
he decided I was worth
being an homeless
for a night for
he's been an homeless
for a night
do you want to apologise to him
no
I think you should apologise
no you haven't
I'm sorry that you had to
walk the streets of Leicester
for a few hours
just for that show
just for that
well don't say it like that I'm not saying it like anything what do you mean no is it just for that show just for that well don't say it like that
I'm not saying it like that
what do you mean
no is it just for that show
just for that stupid show
no what
what do you mean
just for that shit show
whereas if it had
come to see one of my shows
it wasn't shit
if I had been doing a show
this is just me though
yeah
if I had been doing a show
in Leicester
yeah
and I found out
somebody was there
yeah
who would have to live in
I didn't know that
I didn't know that
no but I would ask them
I always ask at the beginning
at the beginning of my shows i go all right everyone how are you um as can everyone get
home all right and then i'll go yeah i'll go oh and i'll go what is it and they go i've not
checked the chains i'll say all right and i'll get my iphone out and i'll check trains for him
and if there isn't one i'll say right well when this show finishes yeah this is all filling for
time i'll get your own yeah i'll get'll get your own, don't worry about that.
But now that I've heard that you might be an homeless in Leicester,
I'm just going to keep doing the show until the trains are running again.
That's what I would have done personally.
There'd have been no...
Yeah, you and Ken Dodd.
There'd have been no coming in at 56 minutes.
I'd have done a proper long show with a joke in it.
Mine had a joke in it.
What was the joke?
All of the jokes, all the way through.
I reckon I had one every ten seconds. That's good going, though. Yeah was the joke? All of the jokes, all the way through. I reckon I had one
every ten seconds.
That's good going, though.
Yeah, it's not bad.
I didn't count it like that.
At the end, right,
I went,
I'm not doing this show
in Edinburgh.
Obviously, everyone went,
oh, what?
Fucking hell, no way.
Come on, mate.
Do it in Edinburgh,
for God's sake.
They all went,
what do you mean
you're not doing it in Edinburgh?
It seems really ready.
Why are you not doing it
in Edinburgh?
There are trains back from there.
I said,
I won't be doing this show in Edinburgh,
but I will be doing a show in Edinburgh with
another comic, Ray Peacock. And some people
cheered. Yeah. And I
went, come on. Gutted, weren't you?
Don't cheer him. I poured my
heart out for 56 minutes. While I
was at home, on my own, playing
Dead Space quite happily. Dead Space 2.
And they were like, hey!
Like, I said,
they weren't concentrating for 56 minutes.
They were just drifting off.
And I said Ray Peacock and they went,
What is he coming on?
Yeah, imagine that
if I'd have walked on then.
Like, from...
I could have just walked on at the end
and just done one good joke.
Or I could have at least done four minutes.
And helped you out.
done four minutes and helped you out.
Yes, it's time for
everyone's favourite section.
Our new running section.
Weekly section.
I'll just pop my hand
down my trousers.
Hang on a second.
There we go.
Just nicely rub my foreskin
between my forefinger
and thumb.
Come on, mate.
As we do our regular section,
Ed as a tip off
which of course
we started last week
we told you half a story
of Ed going in
an hospital
and having his
penis touched
touched
I bet they had to
touch it
they probably did
have to touch it
imagine if when
they were doing
the operation
which we'll get to
in a moment
will it be too much
for people to hear
or will it be alright
I don't know anything
about the operation I mean when we now discuss the rest of what happened i don't
know what if just they can turn it off yeah it's not horrible though is it no it's not i won't i
won't say any horrible bit no so you'd be all out with us yeah well i'm i'm imagining in the
operation yeah of them like seeing you lay there yeah and laughing no pointing and laughing no
mate i reckon it was pulled through a bit of paper.
No, it was,
yeah, they wouldn't do that.
They'd have covered
your entire body with paper
and cut an hole in,
a glory hole in it.
Yeah.
Pop your little penis through.
But it was really little.
Oh, it would have been,
yeah, of course it would have been.
You were asleep,
don't worry about it.
And I'm sure they've not
said anything since.
They have.
She started a Facebook group,
the woman who'd done it.
Oh, I'm gutted, mate.
I picture her doing it
very like, ugh.
Yeah, like that. I'm not touching that. With her picture her doing it very like, ugh. Yeah, like that.
I'm not touching that.
With her nose out like that.
Yeah, with pincers.
Yeah.
And I'm going,
right, well,
how come I'm doing
this operation?
And then when she
cut it off,
she held it out
and she went,
nurse, bin, bin.
Yeah, bin.
Put it in the bin.
Put it in the bin.
I imagine that you
had a wet dream
at the same time as well.
I definitely did.
And you got a little
bonk on and they're going,
oh, look at what he's doing, the dirty boy.
I couldn't get a bonk on.
Yeah, you could in this one.
Oh, right.
Could you not get a bonk on in real life?
Afterwards.
No, but you could get a bonk on before.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's what I mean.
Yeah.
I thought you meant you couldn't get it because it was that time.
Oh, no, no, no.
I just thought you meant after the actual operation.
I thought you were saying that it was that time.
I never had a bonk on.
You put a bonk on and if you ever did, it just went inside your body.
You had a bonk on inside your body that eventually poked your bum out.
Well, I hope that wasn't the case.
No, it wasn't.
I'll tell you now, that wasn't the case, mate.
So we got up to you being in hospital on the night before,
having a drip put into your arm.
Yeah, right in my arm.
As well. So then you went to bed. Yep, right in my arm. As well.
So then you went to bed.
Well, they woke me up every hour
to test my blood sugar.
For a joke.
For a joke.
They go,
wake up, wake up, the emergency!
Oh, wake up, the hospital is on fire!
Don't worry,
I was woken up to an emergency going on as well.
Were you? What was that?
Them going like,
get the crash cart.
For you?
No, but that's what, it's horrible.
It feels like it might have been for you.
You wake up and you go,
oh, fuck. Oh, I stopped breathing. Yeah, but there were a lot of old gentlemen. It feels like it might have been for you. You wake up and you go, oh, fuck.
I stopped breathing.
Yeah, but there were a lot of old gentlemen on all the wards.
Yeah, you tell me that.
I was in bed next to, the NHS is really going down the path, you have to share the bed.
Who did they put you in for?
Leslie.
No, in the bed next to me, there was a man called Leslie, he was 94.
He was saying, he was asking for his dad and they were sort of going don't listen to him
or whatever
but what if his dad
was alive
exactly
he might be Chinese
off a mountain
he was more sprightly
than me
he was in and out of bed
dragging his catheter
behind him
right okay
let's not talk about that
let's talk about Fialo
what you could have done
was you could have gone
alright Leslie
it's me your dad
alright it's your dad
where do you keep your money
in the house
where do you keep your money
where do you keep your money in the home house. Where do you keep your money? Where do you keep
your money in the home?
So your operation?
Yeah,
woke me up nice and early,
hello Ed.
Good morning.
Good morning.
When's my operation?
Oh,
you're first on the list.
Should be quite soon.
Right.
I was like,
oh no.
Go for a toilet,
have a last look at it.
Did you?
How was that?
Fine.
Because I was asking you,
like the week preceding it.
You wanted to look at it,
didn't you?
Constantly.
Yeah. Constantly, just because I knew it. Yeah, it got pretty weird. That was my last chance. Yeah. And you never like the week preceding it. You wanted to look at it, didn't you? Constantly. Yeah.
Constantly.
Just because I knew it.
Yeah, it got pretty weird.
That was my last chance.
Yeah.
And you never showed it to me.
No.
Before and after.
With the lights as well.
So now I have nothing to compare it to.
You've not, no.
But you won't, trust me, you won't see it now.
So you won't ever need to worry about it.
I might see it though.
When?
What if we go camping or something?
When are we going to go camping?
What if me and you go scout camp?
What if we go, what if we join the same gym? What if we both start playing for the same rugby team? That are we going to go camping? What if me and you go scout camp? What if we join the same gym?
What if we both start playing
for the same rugby team?
That is not going to happen.
Well, what if we do
and then I will see each other's penises
all the time?
What do you think?
If I play for a rugby team...
I think it's massive in my head.
Is that what you're going to ask me?
No.
What do I think it looks like?
No.
I see it as very meaty
like a big, big Bockwurst.
That's what I see in my head.
Oh, I like the Bockwurst. Yeah, they do, Yodaversed. That's what I see in my head. Oh, I like the bock-versed.
Yeah, they do,
Yoda.
Cool.
Okay, so,
and last
getting up,
how did that
feel?
Fine.
Not bothered?
No, not bothered.
Glad to see
the back of it,
really.
Yeah, it would
be lovely to see
the back of it.
I'd be glad to
see any of mine.
Gentleman came
up and went,
come on,
pop yourself
on this bed.
At this point,
I had a gown
on with the back open.
Stupid, stupid thing.
Yeah, really embarrassing.
Just makes you feel really degrading.
It's spoken about so many times by so many people,
but because it is an idiotic, stupid thing.
Yeah, yeah.
I got on the man's wheelie bed.
Brilliant fun.
Sounded like I was in a race car,
if I wasn't terrified.
Right, yeah.
Did you speak with him?
Yeah, I had a quick chat with him,
but he was sort of behind me pushing
me.
What did you say?
How come you were
a good actor all that
time and now you're
just doing fishing
programmes?
It's Robson Green
isn't it?
Don't he do the
trolley?
He did it in
Casualty for a long
time.
No, he doesn't do
the trolley there.
It was a different
bloke, Defos.
So I went in for
the lady for
Give Me Dejection.
I was nervous about
that bit.
I don't like the idea of losing time but then when it had happened it was quite cool.jection. I was nervous about that bit. About, I don't like the idea of losing time.
But then, when it had happened, it was quite cool.
I thought, I was thinking about this before, right?
I thought, this is all horrible, isn't it?
So I thought, let's plan a nice joke.
So I had a joke ready for when I woke up.
Put it in my head, kept saying it to myself
over and over again. As I fell asleep
I could feel myself going off.
Then, it's amazing, next thing you know you're waking up.
And so it was still in my head. Yeah. I rolled over a little bit and
there was a nurse there. I saw the nurse and I went, excuse me, are my cataracts sorted
out? The face on her was brilliant. She nearly shot herself. Oh really? Did she go for it?
Yeah, yeah, totally. Wow. Totally, it was amazing. She's like, oh fuck, you could just
see lawsuit across her head. I would have thought they'd be used to that. The thing
is, what, people doing jokes immediately after they woke up? I think I would as well.
The thing is,
because I just,
I had tramadol,
so I was fucked, basically.
What's that?
It's like the thing
that put me to sleep.
That's the drug.
So I woke up like that,
done my joke,
and then just fell asleep again.
Passed out again.
Yeah, so I sort of went,
oh, did my cataract
sort it out?
And she looked terrified
and I just sort of fell asleep
without telling her.
Wow. Did you see that nurse again? It could have been about five hours where they I just sort of fell asleep without telling her. Wow.
Did you see that nurse again?
It could have been about five hours
where they were just
running around going,
right, right,
have a look through that bin.
Yeah, because I never
explained a joke
and no one ever
mentioned it to me again.
So they probably went,
let's just send him home
and say he tripped over
on the way.
I think maybe she panicked
and just ran out.
Yeah, ran away.
Yeah, just into the day.
Like the nurse who, at my school,
the nurse used to do the medicals and things.
Yeah.
There was a lad at my school called Phil
who, when you hold your balls and make your cough,
he'd made a little latex sack
and put two marbles in it
so that when she grabbed his balls,
they'd come off in her hand.
And she screamed, ran out of the school,
never seen again. Wow school, never seen again.
Literally never seen again.
That's brilliant.
And I know that
because I spoke to my old headmaster
not that long ago
and he told me
she never came back
and no one could ever contact her.
Wow.
I mean, good joke though, isn't it?
Yeah, brilliant joke.
Amazing.
I don't know where that film is now.
It ruined someone's life.
I imagine it's at NASA.
Because it's a genius somewhere.
And then your recuperation time.
When I just went,
they sort of just went,
don't get an erection.
But that's not how erections work.
It's not how erections work, is it?
They just happen.
In fact, often, if I'm told not to get one...
You will get one.
That's exactly when I get one.
But that's you. You're stubborn, aren't you?
Schools. Yeah.
Well, no, this is what I was thinking.
If I could control my erections, I wouldn't have spent half of school
walking around with a ring binder covering my crotch.
Exactly.
Oh, coming out of French again pop that over there
do you know
I better control it
now though as an adult
yeah better now
but it got to the
point where
because it was
everything was a bit
swollen and that
yeah brilliant
yeah this is what
people kept saying
when I told people
after going oh
it's swollen brilliant
but what they're not
taking into account
is it was horrible
looking like Michael
Winner's neck
brilliant but useless yeah Brilliant but useless.
Yeah, brilliant but useless.
Absolutely useless.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I really didn't feel in the mood to use it.
The only way I could stop myself getting an erection
was to look at my own erection.
Have you...
A bit personal this question,
because it was about two or three weeks ago, wasn't it,
that you had...
Nearly four weeks.
Okay, four weeks.
Four weeks tomorrow.
Happy anniversary.
Thanks, mate.
Valentine's Day.
Valentine's Day,'s Day you know Fred
how long until
you were allowed
to use it
was it from the
operation
yourself or
any
well I was told
46 weeks
for sexual activity
how long before
you could masturbate
I've had a wank
Ed
what
you dirty boy
I had to
why
why did you have to
I was getting really
bored
and I wanted to
try it out
because it's different now yeah but were you worried though yeah I was really worried it was different and I tell you did you have to? I was getting really bored. And I wanted to try it out because it's different now.
Yeah, but were you worried though?
Yeah, I was really worried that it's different.
And I'll tell you, I was a bit annoyed.
I was getting really good at wanking.
Were you?
Yeah.
I was almost the king of wanking.
Okay, and now you're about to change it.
And now I was changing it.
It's like them going, someone like Lance Armstrong,
and going, oh, well done on all your cycling.
You've got really good at that.
But next year, you have to use a unicycle.
Yeah, stabilizers on it.
Oh, okay. So you had to your how you do it yeah and is it better or worse or completely the same it's different all right it's not better or worse it feels different because i had i had an
argument with a mate of mine who was circumcised yeah and i remember him getting all arty with me
once um but he said to me there's nothing you can do with yours that i can't do with mine yeah
which i took as a challenge right because it's probably true but i was like and i thought about
it for ages and ages and then eventually i worked it out what something yeah i was in the shower and
i worked it out right do you remember foam burst gel imperial leather right yeah it was a shower
gel and you put a little bit in your hand it's fine but then you rub it and it foams and it
spans everywhere right it's for lazy people that can't be asked using soap and it makes washing
fun it does that's how i believe it using soap. And it makes washing fun.
It does,
so I believe.
Well,
I worked it out, right?
I was in the shower and what I did was
put my foreskin
over the end
of the nozzle
of the foam brush gel,
right?
Put the foreskin
over the nozzle
and then,
and I can't emphasise
this enough,
a little bit,
right?
Don't be mental.
Squirt a little bit
in there,
take the foam brush gel
away,
hold your foreskin
tightly shut,
right?
You're finished
with the foam brush gel now. Yeah, that's finished shut. Yeah. Right? You're finished with the foam bath gel now.
Yeah, put that away.
Yeah, that's finished.
Then, you rub it.
Rub the end of it.
Right.
And it foams and expands, right?
And then you've got to put elastic band around the end of it.
So, you've got like a big like melon knob.
And you put elastic band around the end of your foreskin, right?
Now, the day I came up with the idea, I didn't have bands and then i thought oh postman they often leave them about the place don't they
so i went out into the hall it's still with your melon you're pinching your melon still pinching
my melon went out and a lot around just the front of the house yeah i actually did genuinely find a
red elastic band yeah tied that around the end of it tied the elastic band around the end of it and
then then you become
hands free
which you've got to be
in this day and age
haven't you hands free
you do yeah
bluetooth
so I put the thing
round the end of my
knob
and then you've got
to have a partner
for this
just wander into a
room
with it and say
is that normal
but I never told my
mate about it
I came up with the
thing and never
actually told him
about it
so essentially that story hasn't got an end.
Bit like you now.
