Transcript 0:15 Speaker 00 Hi friends, it's me, Tom Davis, aka The Wolf, and this guy on his phone.
0:20 Speaker 01 Sorry, sorry. Have we started?
0:22 Speaker 00 Yeah, we have started. And this guy, Romesh Ranganathan, aka The Owl.
0:27 Speaker 01 Yes, hello. Welcome to the Wolf and Owl email special. Uh, this is where we just do emails.
0:34 Speaker 00 Yeah, if you're a fan of the Wolf and Owl, why don't you subscribe at YouTube and Spotify and all the platforms.
0:40 Speaker 01 All the platforms.
0:41 Speaker 00 That you get your podcasts and your Vidcasts.
0:43 Speaker 01 If you wanna send in an email, Wolf, if you... What?
0:45 Speaker 00 Vidcasts.
0:46 Speaker 01 Yeah, if you wanna send an email, [email protected] . I'm slightly on the back foot here because I was looking at my phone.
0:50 Speaker 00 Yeah.
0:51 Speaker 01 And you just went straight in, so. I mean, that is what we're supposed to do.
0:54 Speaker 00 That's what we do.
0:54 Speaker 01 Uh, should we do the first one?
0:55 Speaker 00 I think you should, uh, yeah.
0:57 Speaker 01 Dear Wolf and Owl, I'm originally from the UK but spent over 10 years living in Beijing, China. I'm going to China next week, or I'm going to Hong Kong.
1:03 Speaker 00 Yeah.
1:04 Speaker 01 I don't get back home very often, so listening to you both helps me feel connected, like two brilliantly chaotic mates.
1:11 Speaker 01 Keep me company at the gym or while I'm cooking. Anyway, on Conan's podcast, don't panic, yours is better. What a load of bollocks. The idea that our podcast is better than Conan's.
1:18 Speaker 00 By the way, I'm just reading this. I fucking love where it's going.
1:21 Speaker 01 He chats with fans and even travels out to meet them. It got me thinking, if the Wolf and Owl did a show where he travelled the world meeting listeners, which country or city would you most hope had a fan waiting for you? Keep doing what you're doing, the openness, honesty, oh fuck my life. And general nonsense is exactly why you're the best. Yours, the Komodo Dragon.
1:38 Speaker 00 Oh my god.
1:38 Speaker 01 Thank you, Komodo Dragon.
1:39 Speaker 00 Can I just say, this might be my favourite email ever.
1:43 Speaker 01 How many emails do you reckon you've said that about since we've started?
1:46 Speaker 00 75%.
1:46 Speaker 01 Yeah, okay.
1:47 Speaker 00 Yeah, but this is, that's actually genuinely really not, I didn't know that Conan did this, but this would be a cool thing to do.
1:53 Speaker 01 I actually had an idea a while ago.
1:55 Speaker 00 Go on.
1:55 Speaker 01 For a chat show.
1:56 Speaker 00 Yeah.
1:57 Speaker 01 But you didn't chat to celebrities, you just chatted to members of the public.
2:00 Speaker 00 I'd love to do that.
2:01 Speaker 01 Hmm.
2:02 Speaker 00 That'd be a fun thing.
2:03 Speaker 01 Do you wanna do that?
2:04 Speaker 00 I think that would be, that would be my forte.
2:05 Speaker 01 We should do, on the next live show of the Wolf for Now. You know when we get a guest on? We should just get a member of the audience.
2:11 Speaker 00 Can I just say, I was saying, I think like just chatting to people is more like, celebrities are somewhat guarded.
2:18 Speaker 01 Yeah.
2:19 Speaker 00 When you just chat to, I had such an amazing conversation this weekend with someone, it was beautiful.
2:24 Speaker 01 Sounds like a anecdote.
2:25 Speaker 00 No, no, it's not, I'm not gonna go to it.
2:28 Speaker 00 No, it was just, no, you just bump into someone, you start having a chat.
2:31 Speaker 01 What happened though?
2:31 Speaker 00 They were just thoroughly, just they worked within the pharmaceuticals and meant like they.
2:36 Speaker 01 So you're describing a rash?
2:38 Speaker 00 No, they'd studied into quite a lot of sort of like drugs that, you know, have had a massive impact in helping people. I genuinely at first thought, this person, you know, I just started chatting on the train. By the end of it, I was like, I could stay on here till Glasgow. And I don't think that would be long enough to just really delve into this human being and what they're about.
2:56 Speaker 01 You didn't say that to them though, did you?
2:58 Speaker 00 No, no, no, I just said, it's been an honour chatting to you.
3:00 Speaker 01 Oh, that's not, that's sweet.
3:01 Speaker 00 Giving them a sort of handshake that sort of, I almost went for a hug, they were a bit.
3:05 Speaker 01 Did you exchange numbers?
3:06 Speaker 00 No, because it's, no one does that anymore. I, I just said, look, you know, I'm on Instagram, this is who I'm at, if you're one of them.
3:12 Speaker 01 Othology?
3:13 Speaker 00 I don't know.
3:15 Speaker 00 I've not seen them.
3:16 Speaker 01 Um, speaking of pharmaceuticals, have you heard the latest about the GLP-1 drugs?
3:22 Speaker 00 What's GLP-1 ones?
3:23 Speaker 01 Is it GLP?
3:24 Speaker 00 What are they?
3:25 Speaker 01 Oh, Zempic and all that.
3:26 Speaker 00 Fuck off, yeah.
3:26 Speaker 01 What do you mean fuck off?
3:27 Speaker 00 No, just honestly, everyone just assumes that I've been doing those.
3:31 Speaker 01 Did they?
3:31 Speaker 00 Yeah. I walked past a fucking truck the other day full of fucking builders and they went, oh, you've been on the jabs, big boy. Fucking looking great, you've been on the jabs. I was like, no, I haven't.
3:40 Speaker 01 No, you've not been on Zempic.
3:41 Speaker 00 No.
3:42 Speaker 01 No, Manjaro.
3:44 Speaker 00 So jabs.
3:45 Speaker 01 Is what you've been using.
3:45 Speaker 00 But anyway.
3:47 Speaker 01 Apparently they weaken your bones.
3:48 Speaker 00 Really?
3:49 Speaker 01 Yeah.
3:50 Speaker 00 Oh my god.
3:51 Speaker 01 That's what the latest is.
3:52 Speaker 00 There, there's a lot of, I think they're gonna be like.
3:54 Speaker 01 I think it's dangerous.
3:56 Speaker 00 Yeah, but vaping, I think that.
3:57 Speaker 01 I think it's dangerous, that's why I stick to vaping.
3:59 Speaker 00 Yeah, yeah.
3:59 Speaker 01 You know, we know what's gonna happen with that, it's fine.
4:02 Speaker 00 Yeah, bubble lung.
4:03 Speaker 01 Yeah, I'm looking forward to some bubble lung. Uh, do you know, in India, I've sort of slightly got this attitude. In India, a lot of times I don't wear motorbike helmets because I think if it's your time to die, it's your time to die.
4:14 Speaker 00 Wow.
4:15 Speaker 01 That's how I feel about vaping.
4:17 Speaker 00 Is genuinely that why I don't wear them in India?
4:19 Speaker 01 Correct. If it's your, I don't, I don't think that's how everybody believes, but it's like, it's your destiny to die at a certain point. So.
4:27 Speaker 00 That's a fucking mad thing.
4:29 Speaker 01 That's, that's the attitude.
4:31 Speaker 00 Fuck, wow.
4:31 Speaker 01 You know?
4:32 Speaker 00 Anyway, back to the Komodo dragon.
4:33 Speaker 01 Anyway, that's why I like triple mango.
4:38 Speaker 01 Cause when I go is when I go, although I've got a bit of a cough, it's something to worry about.
4:41 Speaker 00 I've got a cough, I've got, yeah, but I don't vape.
4:44 Speaker 01 I think my cough is vape related.
4:45 Speaker 00 Yeah, mine, mine isn't vape related. Mine is change of seasons. Happens every time. The time the seasons change, it really hits big T.
4:52 Speaker 01 Yeah, okay.
4:53 Speaker 00 I've, I've got seasonal change disorder.
4:55 Speaker 01 S C D?
4:58 Speaker 00 Probably one of those two.
4:59 Speaker 01 Yeah. Um, very good. That was very quick.
5:02 Speaker 00 Um, so yeah, but I, you know what, I, I, I, you know, there's a side of me that would love to go to Beijing and just meet the Komodo dragon, dragon and hang out.
5:10 Speaker 01 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
5:11 Speaker 00 But I think we should probably trial it first, somewhere in Europe.
5:14 Speaker 01 First of all, I don't want to do a show where I travel the world.
5:17 Speaker 00 You've done it. I've never done it. You're so travelled. I've done, I've done nothing.
5:22 Speaker 01 I think, I, I wouldn't mind like doing a day trip somewhere. I'm not gonna do a day trip to Beijing. But, you know, like if we went to like Milton Keynes to meet somebody.
5:30 Speaker 00 I'm not gonna have to Milton Keynes to fucking, that.
5:32 Speaker 01 Why?
5:33 Speaker 00 I just, I just think let's, we, let's go somewhere a little bit more like, you know, Lisbon. We could go there back, back in the day.
5:41 Speaker 01 Yeah, okay. We'll go to Lisbon and meet, but I don't think we've got any fans in this.
5:44 Speaker 00 Right. Can we just, if you're, you're listening in Europe.
5:46 Speaker 01 Okay, look, right, okay.
5:48 Speaker 00 Stockholm.
5:48 Speaker 01 We, we're actually gonna make a commitment that we're gonna stick to now, that we're gonna stick to.
5:52 Speaker 00 Yeah, there's a, there's a wolf in our hand, Jack.
5:54 Speaker 01 Okay, fine.
5:54 Speaker 00 I'm on this.
5:55 Speaker 01 If you're in a European city that is within a, what, what we think.
6:00 Speaker 00 If we can fly there, but Amsterdam, Stockholm.
6:02 Speaker 01 Somewhere like that. You know what we're talking about. If you're a fan there.
6:05 Speaker 00 Yeah.
6:05 Speaker 01 We'll come and meet you. We'll do a special at where we come and meet you.
6:08 Speaker 00 Yeah.
6:08 Speaker 01 But don't be a weirdo.
6:11 Speaker 01 How do they know that?
6:12 Speaker 00 By the way, can I just say, we use the word weirdo and the term weirdo.
6:16 Speaker 01 Yeah.
6:16 Speaker 00 Sometimes weirdos are the greatest people you ever gonna meet.
6:18 Speaker 01 I mean, mentalist.
6:19 Speaker 00 Yeah, like, don't be a pervert.
6:21 Speaker 01 Yeah, don't, yeah, don't be a pervert or a nonce or whatever.
6:24 Speaker 00 Fucking hell.
6:26 Speaker 01 Well, actually, it doesn't matter.
6:27 Speaker 00 It'd be awful if we travelled all the way out to fucking.
6:29 Speaker 01 Very.
6:30 Speaker 00 We travel out to Marbella to meet a paedophile.
6:32 Speaker 01 I mean.
6:33 Speaker 00 Fucking terrible.
6:34 Speaker 01 If you are a nonce.
6:35 Speaker 00 The fucking, uh, they've been under fucking surveillance as we land, they're arrested.
6:40 Speaker 01 If you are a nonce.
6:41 Speaker 00 Inadvertently turns.
6:42 Speaker 01 That is inviting us over because you wanna fill us up. I've got some good news, you're probably not a nonce.
6:46 Speaker 00 Get to catch a predator.
6:49 Speaker 01 Um, no.
6:49 Speaker 00 That's knocking on the door.
6:52 Speaker 01 Who are you getting to meet?
6:53 Speaker 00 Yeah, nice mates.
6:54 Speaker 01 Yeah.
6:54 Speaker 00 You've been texting to middle aged podcasters, haven't you, dirty fuck? You give him a little slack.
7:00 Speaker 01 Yeah. We're gonna let you tell your wife.
7:03 Speaker 00 Do you want us to come in and talk to your wife?
7:04 Speaker 01 Oh, no, no, no, because I'm gonna lose my job. No. Fuck, no, fucking, what's going on? Nothing, nothing, Sarah, just stay back there, stay back there. You, please don't, please don't say anything to her. Please.
7:19 Speaker 00 You're a pervert, is that what you're saying?
7:21 Speaker 01 No, no, no, I just, I just really like.
7:24 Speaker 00 Emailing, emailing your concerns and your worries.
7:27 Speaker 01 No, but I did have worries, I was just, I was just saying, I'm just a massive Wolfenow fan.
7:32 Speaker 00 You're gonna lose your job in insurance now, mate.
7:34 Speaker 01 No, no. Rob Beckett didn't mind, I supped him off.
7:42 Speaker 01 Um.
7:45 Speaker 00 Just the idea, fucking Rob Beckett, kind of a paedophile.
7:52 Speaker 00 And fucking Millet, so I can get sucked off in an alley afterwards. Alright, you know, fuck it.
7:57 Speaker 01 Nah, fuck it, it's Marbella, innit?
7:58 Speaker 00 Yeah, fuck it, oh, yeah.
8:00 Speaker 01 Well, guys on tour stays on tour. Uh, okay, in all seriousness, yeah, get in touch.
8:05 Speaker 00 European cities, come, come in, somewhere lovely, you know, Malta, maybe Malta.
8:10 Speaker 01 Yeah, Malta's good.
8:11 Speaker 00 Yeah. Great city, great place.
8:14 Speaker 01 Yeah.
8:14 Speaker 00 Yeah, yeah, cool.
8:16 Speaker 01 Yeah, alright, it's done.
8:17 Speaker 00 Okay, it's a deal.
8:18 Speaker 01 Somebody needs to get in touch.
8:21 Speaker 01 Okay, do you want to do the next one?
8:23 Speaker 00 Hi, Wolf and Al, big fan of the show and you guys. Not sure if you're aware of the Masters Dinner tradition, where the previous champion hosts a dinner at the tournament and chooses a menu. My question to you guys, if you were to host a dinner, what five people, dead or alive, would you invite?
8:37 Speaker 01 God, this is quite difficult, isn't it?
8:38 Speaker 00 And two, would you serve, what would you serve for starter, main and dessert? Beverage also, let's assume that you will be cooked for you. Thanks guys and look forward to hearing your answer. Signing out, the starving squid.
8:51 Speaker 01 Well, this is a good way of ripping off the off-menu podcast without really
8:54 Speaker 00 Yeah.
8:55 Speaker 01 looking like we are.
8:56 Speaker 00 They don't do guests, do they, aren't they?
8:58 Speaker 01 No, they don't do guests. They do starter, main and dessert.
9:00 Speaker 00 Again, this is another good idea for another podcast.
9:02 Speaker 01 Pop a lumps or bread? They do that as well.
9:04 Speaker 00 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I said bread and I'd still regret it.
9:07 Speaker 01 Yeah. Okay, should we do-
9:09 Speaker 00 Didn't you have a thing on there where everything you had was fried food?
9:11 Speaker 01 Yeah.
9:12 Speaker 00 Yeah.
9:12 Speaker 01 It was accidental.
9:13 Speaker 00 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.
9:16 Speaker 01 Okay.
9:17 Speaker 00 Shall we go per, I say, we say five people, dead or alive, you say one, I say one.
9:22 Speaker 01 Okay, we're not including each other in this, are we?
9:24 Speaker 00 Well, I'm just gonna say-
9:25 Speaker 01 We're hosting together.
9:26 Speaker 00 Yeah, we're hosting together. Also, we have five people together.
9:29 Speaker 01 Yeah.
9:29 Speaker 00 Okay.
9:30 Speaker 01 Oh, do you want to do five each?
9:31 Speaker 00 I think five each would be all right. That's 10 people.
9:33 Speaker 01 Yeah, yeah. No, you're right. Well done, quick mouse.
9:35 Speaker 00 Yeah.
9:36 Speaker 01 Okay, so should we do five between us?
9:38 Speaker 00 I love it. Yeah, five between us. But then one of us gets an extra person.
9:42 Speaker 01 Yeah, fine, you can have the extra person.
9:44 Speaker 00 Well, let's just say Santa Claus, that's the extra person.
9:47 Speaker 01 Okay.
9:48 Speaker 00 What?
9:49 Speaker 01 Okay.
9:50 Speaker 00 Santa Claus is-
9:51 Speaker 01 I did not expect that. Expect that? I did not expect that.
9:54 Speaker 00 So we get two each and Santa Claus is definitely there.
9:55 Speaker 01 Five, okay, so we get two each.
9:56 Speaker 00 Guest of honour.
9:57 Speaker 01 Who's your first?
9:58 Speaker 00 Oh, wow, that's tricky. I'm trying to think.
10:01 Speaker 01 Dead or alive?
10:02 Speaker 00 Dead or alive.
10:06 Speaker 00 I'm trying to think of someone who's really gonna get the tone and the vibe of the evening.
10:11 Speaker 00 You know what seems like a good laugh? I met Rita Ora.
10:21 Speaker 00 Like she sings, she has a bit of a laugh.
10:24 Speaker 01 Yeah, I've got nothing against Rita Ora, I just was not expecting that name to come out of your mouth.
10:32 Speaker 01 I wouldn't have expected that name to come out of your mouth if we're inviting only pop stars whose name begins with R.
10:39 Speaker 00 Yeah, I'm not gonna go back on it, because I've written the invite, as soon as you say it, you've written the invite, you can't go back on it.
10:45 Speaker 01 Alright.
10:45 Speaker 00 So far we've got Santa Claus, Rita Ora.
10:49 Speaker 01 Uh, I'm gonna go Thierry Henry.
10:51 Speaker 00 Oh wow.
10:52 Speaker 01 Just because, you know.
10:53 Speaker 00 Yeah, yeah, wow. Also, by the way.
10:56 Speaker 01 Massive Rita Ora fan.
10:57 Speaker 00 Yeah, but two really cool, hot people.
11:00 Speaker 01 Who?
11:00 Speaker 00 Santa Claus and Thierry Henry. No, but that's, yeah.
11:04 Speaker 01 Yeah.
11:05 Speaker 00 So now, you know, Santa Claus is at one.
11:07 Speaker 01 Santa Claus, Rita Ora.
11:09 Speaker 00 Thierry Henry.
11:10 Speaker 01 But two of them in red and white.
11:12 Speaker 00 Whoa, my guy. Um, okay.
11:19 Speaker 00 It's tough because I'm thinking, there's some, but we've got, we've got a really cool sports person there in Thierry Henry. Santa Claus is gonna be full of anecdotes, Rita Ora is a great fan of anecdote and a song.
11:29 Speaker 01 All of Santa's anecdotes are gonna be fairly similar though, aren't they?
11:32 Speaker 00 No, they won't.
11:33 Speaker 01 Delivery.
11:33 Speaker 00 We hardly know anything about him apart from fucking.
11:36 Speaker 01 Oh come on.
11:37 Speaker 00 We don't know hardly anything about what he does for the rest of the year.
11:39 Speaker 01 Yeah, we do. He's like, he, he, one night of the year is delivering presents, the rest of the night is fucking as many elves as he possibly can.
11:50 Speaker 00 Did I tell you in the time that I queued for four hours to sleep with Bonnie Blue?
11:58 Speaker 00 Before I saw those big black Wellington boats.
12:02 Speaker 01 They didn't realise I was the real Santa.
12:06 Speaker 01 I told them I was from Debenhams.
12:08 Speaker 00 I said I was a gardener from Milton Keynes.
12:11 Speaker 01 Anyway, gave it to her good.
12:15 Speaker 00 That's gonna be so gross then, but I won't.
12:19 Speaker 01 I think that ship sailed. Santa's fucking Bonnie Blue.
12:23 Speaker 00 I, I think you'd kind of need someone sort of learned. Uh, Steve Hawkins?
12:29 Speaker 01 Yeah, I don't know, I've never heard him, I've never heard him say, call me Steve.
12:40 Speaker 01 Ah, you gotta meet, you gotta meet-
12:43 Speaker 00 Rayo, have you met Steve?
12:45 Speaker 01 You gotta meet a really clever mate of mine, Steve.
12:47 Speaker 00 Rayo?
12:48 Speaker 01 Steve, fucking Steve Hawkins.
12:50 Speaker 00 Terry, Rayo, have you met Steve?
12:58 Speaker 00 Come on.
12:58 Speaker 01 Oh, gosh.
13:05 Speaker 01 Uh, for my final one, I'd probably say, uh, Richard Pryor.
13:10 Speaker 00 Oh, wow.
13:11 Speaker 01 Greatest to ever do it.
13:12 Speaker 00 Oh, by the way, yeah.
13:15 Speaker 01 By the way, what?
13:16 Speaker 00 Oh, the rest of the party, yeah. No, everyone else is obsolete now. He's the greatest show personality.
13:22 Speaker 01 No, but that's a good combination, isn't it?
13:24 Speaker 00 It's a great combination, yeah, but it's also-
13:25 Speaker 01 Terry Henry, Richard Pryor, Santa Claus-
13:28 Speaker 00 You've just made me-
13:29 Speaker 01 Rita Ora, Steve Hawkins.
13:32 Speaker 00 We've just become the waiters for the evening.
13:34 Speaker 01 I know. We are the least entertaining, but that's what-
13:36 Speaker 00 Yeah.
13:37 Speaker 01 But that's, that was always gonna happen.
13:38 Speaker 00 Yeah. I can imagine, like, Richard Pryor's cracking a joke, everyone's like, then Rita bursts into song. Terry says something cool and sexy, then just does some kick-ups with a chicken bowl.
13:47 Speaker 01 Yeah. Just people telling Santa to shut the fuck up. There we get it. You couldn't get down the chimney.
13:55 Speaker 01 Yeah, it's a really busy night.
14:00 Speaker 01 Yes, use magic. Okay, starter, main and dessert. It's gonna be slightly tricky.
14:04 Speaker 00 Right, yeah, but you know what we should do-
14:06 Speaker 01 Because I'm plant-based and you're not.
14:07 Speaker 00 Yeah, I think we have a plant-based option.
14:09 Speaker 01 Okay.
14:10 Speaker 00 So, starter, um, I'm gonna go, uh, I think a nice soup. Like a nice minestrone soup.
14:17 Speaker 01 Okay.
14:18 Speaker 00 Yeah.
14:19 Speaker 01 Yeah, good.
14:19 Speaker 00 Yeah.
14:20 Speaker 01 Uh, I'm gonna go a little mini soft-shell jackfruit tacos. What's wrong with that?
14:27 Speaker 00 No, no, no, it's actually, to be fair, a bit un-
14:28 Speaker 01 Sorry, I'm not getting my eyes rolled out by somebody who said minestrone soup.
14:34 Speaker 00 That's the behinds.
14:35 Speaker 01 Um. Okay, what do you do for Maine?
14:38 Speaker 00 Uh, Maine, it's hard because there's a side of me like a big spaghetti bolognese because I know that everyone would like like that.
14:45 Speaker 01 Yeah.
14:46 Speaker 00 Uh, would be quite kind of nice. Uh, but then there's also I know that like someone like.
14:50 Speaker 01 Minestrone soup and then spaghetti bolognese. What the fucking hell's going on?
14:56 Speaker 00 With garlic bread. Um, no, a nice big lasagna, actually.
14:59 Speaker 01 Okay, fine.
15:00 Speaker 00 A nice lasagna.
15:00 Speaker 01 Hmm.
15:01 Speaker 00 Yeah, deep dish lasagna.
15:03 Speaker 01 I do one of those for Maine, like a veg, you know, the dalis where they've got the little silver dishes of each like.
15:09 Speaker 00 Oh, wow. Yeah, they're amazing.
15:11 Speaker 01 Yeah. One of those.
15:12 Speaker 00 Weirdly, I'm eating everything off your menu. Uh, dessert, um, uh, I would do, um, uh, floating island, we got the meringue for the floating custard.
15:24 Speaker 01 Yeah.
15:24 Speaker 00 That'd be nice.
15:25 Speaker 01 A meringue and custard.
15:26 Speaker 00 Yeah, like, yeah, yeah, like the Italian meringue custard is beautiful. I think the best dessert ever.
15:32 Speaker 01 That's the best ever.
15:32 Speaker 00 Yeah.
15:33 Speaker 01 I'll probably go for a vegan tiramisu.
15:35 Speaker 00 Okay, good.
15:36 Speaker 01 So there you go.
15:37 Speaker 00 And then beverages?
15:38 Speaker 01 Oh, uh.
15:39 Speaker 00 Neither of us is drinking wise.
15:41 Speaker 01 Apple tizer?
15:43 Speaker 00 Pepsi probably for me.
15:44 Speaker 01 Yeah, Pepsi Max, Coke Zero.
15:47 Speaker 00 Not Coke Zero, Pepsi Max.
15:48 Speaker 01 Why not Coke Zero?
15:49 Speaker 00 Just Pepsi Max is better.
15:52 Speaker 01 I think it depends on your mood.
15:58 Speaker 00 Well, just Pepsi Max is better.
16:00 Speaker 01 Well, I know that for a fact that Steve prefers Coke Zero.
16:06 Speaker 00 Um, you'd probably had to have something alcoholic, so I probably would just sort of have like, I'd probably ask David Beckham for some of his sort of.
16:12 Speaker 01 Do you know what we get? I'll tell you what we could get, a little margarita.
16:15 Speaker 00 Yeah, that'd be nice.
16:16 Speaker 01 A little margarita trolley.
16:17 Speaker 00 Yeah, yeah, that'd be nice. Yeah, yeah.
16:20 Speaker 01 And then we could, we could, we could invent some drinks for each guest, the margarita aura.
16:24 Speaker 00 Oh, wow. Okay, okay. Yeah, I forgot you love puns.
16:27 Speaker 01 Yeah.
16:27 Speaker 00 Um.
16:30 Speaker 00 Who'd you get to DJ?
16:31 Speaker 01 Uh, Jaguar Skills.
16:33 Speaker 00 Oh, wow.
16:33 Speaker 01 Martin T Smooth?
16:34 Speaker 00 Yeah. Rob Percy would be great.
16:36 Speaker 01 Rob Percy would be great.
16:37 Speaker 00 I'd love him. I think, actually, you know what? I'd probably almost say Rob Percy maybe and Santa Claus would be the.
16:43 Speaker 01 Yeah, I would say of the four, Rob Percy's the only one that you could book.
16:48 Speaker 00 Rob Percy and Santa Claus together would be such a dream.
16:53 Speaker 01 Good afternoon, is it you or me?
16:55 Speaker 00 It's you.
16:55 Speaker 01 Good afternoon, Shaggers.
16:57 Speaker 00 Shaggers, by the way, why's that become a thing?
16:59 Speaker 01 I don't know. I love stand-up and I've noticed, first of all, can I just say from Good Afternoon Shaggers?
17:04 Speaker 00 Yeah.
17:05 Speaker 01 It's a bit of a red flag for me for the rest of it. I love stand-up and I've noticed many acts, including yourselves on a scene you live, introduce yourselves before going on stage. Did you put your hands together when you went to the stage? We're just wondering why that's the case. Is this a bit weird announcing yourselves in the third person and then walking out on stage? Cheers, your girthy pal in body mass, not in todgy size. That's Patrick's definitely below average in many ways, Tom. So why have you emailed in?
17:31 Speaker 01 Okay, first thing, this person wants to be a stand-up, don't they?
17:33 Speaker 00 Yeah, of course, of course they do, yeah.
17:34 Speaker 01 They've opened with a joke, closed with a joke.
17:36 Speaker 00 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:39 Speaker 01 Why do we do that? I mean, you're very good at it because you've got that trailer voice.
17:43 Speaker 00 Yeah, I did Rob Beckett's.
17:45 Speaker 01 You did do Rob Beckett's, and you did mine?
17:46 Speaker 00 And yours, yeah. I did yours and Rob Beckett's.
17:50 Speaker 00 I quite enjoy it. I think it sets you, I think for me anyway, it sets me, it feels like you're setting the mood before you go on.
17:56 Speaker 01 Yeah.
17:59 Speaker 00 And you can, yeah, you can have some fun with it.
18:01 Speaker 01 I know it's weird, but I, like, so you're not gonna have somebody that's gonna come around with you to do, just do the announcement bit. And Gratz, who's both our tour managers, both of our tour manager, is not gonna do it.
18:13 Speaker 00 No.
18:13 Speaker 01 So you're doing it, it's basically what you don't want is a recording, because I think they know it's a recording.
18:19 Speaker 00 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:20 Speaker 01 And so you wanna just go, you know, good evening, good evening, Northampton, are you ready for a show, whatever?
18:27 Speaker 00 Maybe.
18:27 Speaker 01 And then you can, and then that's your first opportunity to get them geared up, right? Because, you know, you always have that stereotypical thing of like, I can't hear you, are you ready for a good, you know, whatever? And then that's your first interaction with them. So I think that's, it's a good opportunity to
18:44 Speaker 00 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:45 Speaker 01 Get them riled up a bit. I mean, for me, now Martin T. Smith does it, he introduces me on.
18:49 Speaker 00 Yeah, I mean, but he's so cool.
18:50 Speaker 01 And he's crazy.
18:52 Speaker 00 Yeah.
18:52 Speaker 01 Do you know, like, it's too much.
18:53 Speaker 00 Can I say something?
18:53 Speaker 01 Martin T. Smith is like, are you fucking ready? Are you ready? He's in, he's literally stood by the side of the stage, get your dicks in the air, get your tits out, it's Romesh Ranganathan, do you know what I mean? It's too much.
19:06 Speaker 00 Um, I remember actually one of my happiest memories is with watching you standing with my tits and my dick out, just waiting for you to come onto the stage. Um, but, uh, um, I've sometimes
19:15 Speaker 01 It's better if you don't laugh as you're doing it, just so you know.
19:18 Speaker 00 I, this is a difference between me and you. I have, I don't have that ability. I know, and I know myself that it must wind people up.
19:25 Speaker 01 It doesn't wind me up.
19:25 Speaker 00 No, no, no, but it winds people up, I think. I, if I think of something funny.
19:28 Speaker 01 Yeah, I know, you get really excited.
19:29 Speaker 00 Yeah, but I, it, it makes me not, cause in a moment.
19:32 Speaker 01 You start laughing before you've even said that.
19:33 Speaker 00 That's why I'd be awful on that laugh on laugh, last one laughing.
19:35 Speaker 01 Yeah.
19:36 Speaker 00 Cause even if you, I laugh at people, cause I find people funny, right?
19:40 Speaker 01 Yeah, that's not, that's not a quirk exclusive to you.
19:41 Speaker 00 No, no, no, but also laugh at things that I'm thinking of, like, yeah, I'm a laughy sort of chap.
19:48 Speaker 01 Yeah.
19:48 Speaker 00 I will say that sometimes I've realised that the bigness that I do stage, like intros on to, for people on the stage is sometimes off putting for the person who's going. I just had a, um, guy who's brilliant, uh, um, Lamar Jermaine coming up and.
20:01 Speaker 01 Great comedian.
20:02 Speaker 00 Brilliant, up and coming, what, brilliant. And I was introducing him on to stage and it's, I've done it with, when I've introduced you on to stage. I go so big, I then realise actually it must be a world judge position when you come on and it's like, oh shit, like, what, that is such a ridiculously sized intro.
20:20 Speaker 01 But that's funny though, the mismatch in energy.
20:21 Speaker 00 Yeah, yeah.
20:23 Speaker 01 Anyway, I hope that answers your question, Shagger. Uh, thank you so much for sending those emails in. If you want to get in touch, you can email wolfalpod at gmail dot com.
20:31 Speaker 00 You're a bloke, you're an accountant who's just had a couple of beers with some builders that are doing work at his house.
20:36 Speaker 01 We will see you next time. Bye bye.
