“Where is the evolutionary drive of your genes to past seeds and eggs on if you're the type of person who can't bring the pack forward? So there would be a strong evolutionary argument for single people to die before attached people, for non-religious people to die before atheists. So atheists like us have to make sure we really have strong friendship groups. And I wish, wish, wish we could get humanism off the ground every Sunday. There's readings, your local Richard Dawkins is doing a science reading. We all have a bit of tea and cake. Our kids all play together and then we all go home. Wouldn't that be amazing?”

“Simple as that. There's nothing magic about marriage, but the Homo sapiens, I believe, that our cortisol levels drop and our dopamine levels rise when someone gives a shit about us. It would make sense on an evolutionary level if you look at the way chimps are that when one of them gets excluded from the group because they have a fight and they're going, you know, you see them on the documentary? They never live long. Because why”

“Statistically true, and also people that believe in God live longer. I'm not a Godder, I'm total atheist for you. I mean, that would be the curveball you weren't expecting. About Jesus, Steven. Now, it's people that believe in God live longer. So I think it's not the case that faith keeps you alive or that a relationship keeps you alive. As far as I understand the science, there's a neuroprotective and cardiovascular benefit of doing what we're doing today, just hanging out, basically. And the most reliable way to hang out and check in with someone on a regular basis is to have someone you're married to. Are you okay? Take your stress levels down, or even better, get together every Sunday with a bunch of people who actually give a shit about whether you're skin, whether you've got cans, whether your wife's left you, who are going to look out for you. And sadly, in our society, religion is the only thing that forces people on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday, to get together. If you're going mosque every Friday, is it? If you go mosque, if you go mosque once a week and you're praying next to that man next year, he's probably going to notice if you're down.”

“Sleep with loads of women. The difference I did it was if I was going out after a gig or if a girl had DM'd me and we were going I would say this is where I'm at. This is what I do for a living. I'm single. I do love making love and I love going out, but there is no relationship here. I would never went to bed with a woman dangling any fake carrots ever. I think it's a form of, I don't want to use language too strongly. There's a sort of consent tweak in there. If you're in a power position like me and saying to go, let's see where it goes, but you just want to fuck it. I think that's wrong. I think it's morally wrong. I think you should say this is what it is. I want to party with you. Can you handle it? And Newsflash, most women are looking for that too. So I had a wicked time for a year. And then one of those girls was Lindsay. And there's just something different happened. And we saw each other again and again and again. And then boom, married.”

“Well, we stayed there all the time, and I'm like, I can come. I never lived on my own before. I'd always lived with a woman, always live with a girl. It was just nice. I'd just be in my pajamas, have a curry, and then I could, I could, or I would just think, I'm going to go out on the pool after the gig. And that gets boring unless you've got some sort of issue, like sex edition issue and you're addicted to lots of different women. I'm not that type of dominant guy that needs to fuck a thousand women to prove I've walked the earth. I more without getting too personal, I do enjoy I'm a highly sexed individual, very unfortunately for Lindy, incredibly high sex drive, like a 19-year-old lad. But it's sex I enjoy, not conquering women. So I can quench that thirst with one woman over and over again. But I did want to know what it was like to, you know, to be single, to be free. And part of that, I'm sure it's the same for a woman, for a man, is to go, what's it like to have a one-night stand or to be have this rock star lifestyle?”

You're always gonna wonder what it's like She went, I was you, I would have a year on your own. So I set the clock and I was like Panani Master in action and we're not cynically not cynically shagging”

“I mean but they don't so I'm trying to man should go I haven't done anything but I'm having these sorts what does it mean does it mean we're not in love does it mean sexually our relationship's not exciting is this something we can do that some games we can play to mimic that I don't know whatever that a couples need to just have that conversation because if you pretend men and women aren't having those thoughts you're naive so you need to keep the relationship alive that's the way to do it why why am i married well a I'm 45 remember and B, I'm more serial monogamist. So I've gone from age 16 to 30 odd, B with the girl for three years, break up, get straight with another girl, literally the next week, break up on anywhere between nine month to three-year relationships. Never had a one-night stand. I'd never been single. I'd never been on a lad's holiday. So when I split up a bit weird.”

“Well, I fell deeply in love and got married, and I'm just, again, you go back to the childhood, undivorced parents. It's just what I modelled on. I've never had a problem with saying to a girl, the relationship's done, my head's starting to be turned, let's move on. And as much as it breaks my heart, if I ever felt that way, I would obviously with a marriage and a child, I would sit down to Lindsay and say, there's an issue here. I've started to have these thoughts, how can we work on it? And we'd work something out. So that's just my way I operate. Hardly any men do. Sorry, girls, for my sex. If only men did.”

“So, unless I do something stupid like that, which I rightly get in trouble for, or like change my flight in Ibiza and go to a boat party, which I also tried to do and got my ass kicked for. But if I'm on the road and doing autographs afterwards and there's all girls in the picture or something, I've never ever, like Lindsay's just not even a flicker. She gets it. That's the job. You're everyone's friend. If the girls fancy you in the audience even better. That means another Maldives holiday type thing. That's the way. She's in business mode. She isn't a bit of an entrepreneur, Lindsay. She's got two businesses and she sees my business as a business and she never ever guilts me over being I might be away for four nights. I won't some days I've gone, shit, I didn't phone home. I didn't text. I didn't even now and again, all I have to do is do a good night.”

“Yeah, so my former partner, the one who was married to for nine months, had that as well, which is why we thought we should probably get married, but marriage needs more than that. So, yeah, so Lindsay is more Lindsay doesn't get jealous unless I do something dickhead, like follow a glamour model an instant and like a bikini pick, which I get my ass kicked, but still do because I'm Neanderthal. Some of a man.”

“Yes, no, I Sorry, I realise what you mean. Yeah, no, I did. I was married, so I'm currently, I'm trying to enjoy my middle marriage. That's what I say to you. No, so we were just, we realized we were just mates. There was a romance there. We had a lot in common. We were both into this same world and we were sort of living together and we got married and we were like, that was a mistake. And we just weren't married. And it was totally amicable, no fighting, no problems at all.”

“Quite recognizable. You can't say, I'm like Michael McIntyre or Chris Rock or someone, but I'm sort of known as a standup. So what that means is when I walk on stage at the comedy store, late show, four hundred people drunk off their tits, work dues, hendos, and I'm unbuild unexpected unlisted, the room splits into three. Straight away, it splits into, oh my God, it's him. Fucking, what a treat. We've got him for 20 quid to the middle. Who's that? Am I supposed to know who that is? Is he good? I don't know. I think I've seen him. And the final group can't stand this cunt. That's the only group I'm playing to when a little bit in the middle group they're the only people I'm interested in because that's where the muscle building exercises. And then when you go on stage to your audience, they get you like that.”

“keeping it sharp the whole time. So, whatever business you're in, you'll be able to think of an equivalent way of doing that. So set up smaller situations where you're having to keep that muscle because the danger is the more successful you get, you lose the muscle of walking into a room full of skeptics. And if you lose that muscle, that's the money making muscle. Practice it. I keep mine, tie it all times. I constantly put myself in unbuild unlisted unideal situations. When you walk onto a stage, when you're at my level, which I would call myself.”
2021-05-03 · The Diary of a CEO · Russell Kane: How To Build Confidence & Stay Young · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT
“And the only way to practice that is to put yourself in more who's this guy moments regularly. So how I do that, as soon as my tour finishes, I book the smallest, hardest, weirdest, they might have bad light in, they might have no microphone, they might be half sold, and I'm unlisted. Unlisted unannounced unexpected. And I'll walk on to tiny clubs full of drunk men, fifty year old UKIP dads, all of those places. I put myself in those all the time because the risk is high, the nerves are the same, but the consequence is zero. So I'm constantly training the muscle of convert the people who don't know who I am.”

“A way to do it. It depends which stage of your career you're at. If you're at the stage of your career like me and you, a lot of, I'm not trying to be offensive here, a lot of people are sucking addicts a lot of the time. So we're constantly walking into the rooms where people think we're legends. It's never going to be a difficult gig. Now and again, something comes up where you're the tadpole and you don't have the hardware in place. And Bill Gates is speaking before you. Oprah is hosting it. And all of a sudden, you're, who's this guy? You're having a day of who's this guy. We can all have a who's this guy day.”

“There's two ways to work on that. The first thing is the actual practical thing on the night, I would say, just work with breathing and mindfulness and all the stuff you've probably read a thousand times. The other thing to do is if you can.”

“out with my first punch. If you've put an event on a Michael McIntyre's close in and you're hosting it and you to me at the last minute said, Russ, I've decided to do two halves. Can you do 20 minutes at the top? I shit myself because they're not there for me. They're there for you and him. And I've got a conversion job to do. and the risk is massive, their mic was fancy your fans. And that's when the nerves kick in when I'm doing raw variety show or live at the Apollo where people have responded to a TV ticket, not me. That's when the nerves go back to old school style nerves.”

“Big time, but so far as missing part of your child growing, massive negative doing a tour is a guilt thing in your gut and you do cry a bit after FaceTime in that, particularly when it's a baby. So that's the biggest negative I can think of. But once you're with a woman or a man that gets it, there's no negative in your relationship. I was with a couple of girls before who would make me feel bad about being away, whereas Lindsay's kicking me out the door. She's focused on the business. We're a team. That's well paid. Fuck off. See you later. Don't call home if you're stressed. I'm cool with it. That's what you need, man. You need somebody who gets it. I do shit myself, though, still, yes. Do you know Emodium scale goes up depending on how much of my show it is? So if you'd booked a show for me today where you're going to introduce me and I'm going to do 20 minutes stand up and you've got 2,000 people in the room, there would be nerves there, fair bit of nerves, but mostly I'm ready to knock the gig the fuck.”

“I suppose the worst thing is the travel. That is a genuine negative one since Min has been born my daughter. I actually quite like traveling. I like being in the back of a car. I love watching movies. I love reading. And I love eating on the move. So all the things that most people hate, I just happen to quite enjoy, just pure, I don't know why. Because I'm always on the go. I like being forced to sit still and watch a movie. So I love flights, for example. The longer the better.”

“Initially, Initially, my life fell apart like a junkies. I was down to 10 stone at one point. So it come to the point where I had to say this needs to not be a drug, this needs to be a food. And I left the agency, and then I was, you know, off.”

“Yeah, maybe. I mean, I'd had plenty of validation at work. I'd had the whole office cheer. I've rung the bell when we've won big pitches. I've got the rush in the meeting, but it's the difference. I'm trying not to talk about drugs all the time Is the difference between going from a beer to MDMA, right? I don't recommend any hard drugs, obviously, particularly people that work with their brains. You're a fool if you mess with the equipment. But you can't compare them when you say everyone has that. Not everyone stood on stage to a thousand people and seen people standing and clapping. That is different. It's of a different category of ego rush. Very dangerous”

“Rush. It's a rush. Anyone is, I've not taken any serious drugs, but anyone that's taken any recreational drugs, which is a bad analogy because they're not actually addictive. But coffee, for example, I can't live my life without it. Why are you addicted? It's as absurd as asking me why I'm addicted to coffee. Because I go, I wake up, I feel alive and have an amazing day. The same. Laugh goes in, buzz, serotonin, pupils dilated. Afterwards, I want to tell everyone about the gig. I was taking shit footage into work and showing it to people and playing it in the office. Look at me. That's me. Come and look at me in this grainy footage in the office. I mean, that's so embarrassing that I did that. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe I was getting laughs from strangers. It's straight to the ego, straight to the cortex.”

“It's the closest thing to a drug addiction that I've ever experienced. I would have not seen my mum for a year to chase this dream. I was hooked with on that laugh. And like this is what I'm born to do. I just fucking know it. How can I monetize it, basically?”

“It wasn't obviously great, but I did well ish. First laugh was like someone stuck cocaine heroin ketamine, everything in my, not that I've done those drugs, but everything in my veins, and I was hooked in the proper sense of that it fucked my life, everything fell apart like a junkie. How can I get more of that? I want to gig three. I want to gig five nights a week for no money. I've got a creative director. We're talking about multi, multi million pound accounts. Advertising is you work till 8 p.m. You have pizza on your birthday under your table, you sleep at the office. I'm running off to do unpaid gigs in Manchester. My relationship with my girlfriend fell apart. My bill started to not be paid. I started to look thin because I suffered with my nerves in the beginning I'm throwing up like both ends.”

Do it once, like doing a bungee jump or a skydive or karaoke. It's just, that's as far as my thinking went, something to tell the kids. So I wrote a few ideas down in a book, booked an open spot in, and I went and did it. It was very scary. I think I did a pack of emodium before I went on. And my hand was shaking.”

You can tell by the way I'm describing it. Then the creative planner was like, you're always the one up at the pitches.

“So again, I went those three years without any exposure to the student bar standup. It was all music. There was some theater. No one talked about stand-up. We didn't have this sort of slightly fashionable thing now of being obsessed with American stand-ups. I like to say to my British colleagues, just remember it. If you start having this sort of slick quality to your standup, it can look a bit mannered. That's just a side point. So I went all the way to the office to my dream job as an advertising copywriter with no content we stand up, just being funny as fuck, the clown, you know, legend on a night out.”

It's not people like, well, how can you have no contact with stand up? So you've got to remember my age. I know I look young for my age. I'm 45. So what was my dad watching on TV? Jim Davison, Bernard Manning, Jimmy Jones. It's like Bruce Forsyth and Jimmy Tarbuck live at the Palladium and all that. It's not that obviously they're all talented comedians. And I do mean that. But it just didn't resonate with it's not about my life. I'd laugh because my dad was laughing, but I was like, what's this crazy art form? I've got to learn more. Me and my friends, mostly either smoking, it's all about getting high, or we'd watch old young ones or whatever the funny sitcom of the day was men behaving badly or whatever it was. That's what I thought comedy was. No, we didn't go to the theatre at the weekend. We didn't like which cultural pursuits should we do this weekend family? It was like, dad works all week. He's tired.

So even if you turn out to be a very tall teenager, you're less likely to become a basketball player than a teenager one inch shorter than you who was born in October. The reason being you'd have been pushed by the coach and taught and everything early doors at six, seven, eight years old And there is some data to suggest that people who work with their personalities for a living, people that have to solve entrepreneurs and find little rat runs and alleyways, develop that based on being smaller or more vulnerable.

“With me, it's even more complex because I don't know if you've had any stand ups on here before. But the majority of them, and quite rightly so, will be like from a young age I used to watch blah blah blah on TV. I used to watch all these American comics. I used to watch Chris Rock, Bill Burr, Bill Hicks. I knew that's what I wanted to do, man. I was like the young boxer in the alleyway. I knew I was going to box none of that. Nothing there is zero in my CV that shows an affinity for the craft of stand up always been the joker. I'm not being funny today. I don't know why you got me on one.

“I was. Yeah, I did my A-levels late because I had this spark moment. But it's got to come from within them. It's not something as yet, although science might get there one day, that we can give to you in a pill or an injection. You've got to suddenly have, right back to the beginning of the chat, insight and be like, boom, chest out. I'm going to see a therapist. I'm not going to use negative language. I'm going to get this self-help book, which gives me some cognitive behavioral therapy tools. I always mung up cannabis. So yeah, it's got to come from them. But for you and I, fixes how can we solve it? How can I redraft the copy? What's the solution? Unfortunately, the solution is trying to get them to have some insight. So if you have got a friend like that, maybe have that sort of conversation with them that spurs self-reflection because giving them a million pound a year jobs is just going to make them worse because that muscle that's atrophied.”

There's a sexual attraction there to bastard men that some women, particularly from my sort of background working class women, find hard to get over, would be one example. But you can get over it. It is possible to do it. The mistake people like you and I make is we try to help and say you've got a friend who's unmotivated, depressed, leaves every job after three months. It's always someone else's fault. It's always the system. It's always, if only Corbyn was in power. My dad did this. My mum did that. Always putting it on someone else. And then you're making it worse by putting it on you. Let me help. You're just a positive version of that. The solution is they have to switch the light bulb on in themselves. They may not get there.

“The data does suggest that there was a short period where we scooped off some bright, poorer children, not necessarily kneeling the tower block, but at least the poorer children whose parents meant well but were too poor. We got them. We got more Einstein's. When you watch question time. Switch it on, and I went to a state school and they're giving it all that will always be a grammar school. Always. It's very rarely I went to the local comprehensive and now I'm an MP. It's always I went to a state which state school, grammar school you went to an elite education then state but elite selective”

“So, I'm not saying we're all stuck in our lanes, but I'm saying we need more social mechanisms because some Einstein's don't have energy. Some Einstein's might be a bit emotionally weaker. So we say my example of Neil at the top of the tower block, he might be really fucking amazing. We'll never harvest that talent because our society is set up with too many blocks in place to scoop it out. We had one thing in place for about 40 years called grammar schools. Very controversial, very unfair dumping a load of 11-year-olds in the thick bin. My mum went to a secondary modern, my dad went to a secondary modern, my wife, my brother-in-law, my mother-in-law and father-in-law all went to secondary moderns. So I know people who were told, you're no good at 11. So I don't say this lightly and I know how horrific that is.”

“So, as much your brother as your other brothers, but Hampton Point at the same time, same conditions, same school, everything happens. So do you believe you would have another happy 60 millionaire living in the flat opposite? Or do you think depends what that brother's personality was like? Because we both know that that brother's personality is what would have decided whether he sat at this table with us today or not. And personality does come into it. We are born with different personalities to an extent.”

“That is a wheelchair, their social background, and they don't have the strength, and then they start using drugs and they just sink too low. Not everyone can pull themselves out. So that's why we do need more equality.”

“genetically more equipped in other departments are clearly a highly energetic person who's good at motivating themselves. Some part of that is inborn. I would like it as a baby before I could speak. You know, the other toddlers are like, Dribbling on their blocks, and I'm like, Where are the blocks So it's unfair for us to go if only Neil at the top of the tower block could have been like us. He too could have been an entrepreneur because maybe just being a single mum being of color or being transgender or being, not everyone has the strength to push through those things. everyone does and it's unfair to go up to a wheelchair and go, just stand mate. I'm using willpower with my legs. Why can't you? Because some people”

“Right? She's trying to tell you how to build a business. It doesn't matter where if you come from space, if you can make me money. Or whether you're one of the mandem, I don't care. Show me where to do it. You've got to have an open knowledge is once it's out there, is democratic. The path to acquiring it is not. But there's no doubt about trying to stay on topic. What you're saying about personal responsibility is I'm really split on this because I don't believe it's true that anyone with enough will and luck can make it. I think we're probably outliers and freaks and just wired a bit different and have got what it takes to push through. I think if enough blocks are in place, you're a single child of a drug using mum in a towel block. I am built of stronger stuff. So I've bounced through my childhood and I've come out the other side. But a lot of people aren't. If we were all born the same, then why aren't I playing basketball? Why am I not sprinting? Why am I not a maths scholar? Some of us are born.”

“If someone's offering you know knowledge, it's not like she's telling you about her struggles. There was a queue in waitress and I just couldn't keep that. That would be the trumpet.”

“Carved up, and we're people who start in life in a tower block should be united. Do you know what I mean? So that's the first point. But I do think we get off lightly if we've got money if we had a more councillor state background. It's like a license to be okay with having money. Like I can wear my rolely by the pool when I'm in Ibiza. Because I sound common. If I sounded pos, I probably would keep the britling on.”

“I could phone up Judy now and we could speak for an hour, but we both grew up in similar part of London, similar age, similar family. Yes, she's got Jamaican stories, but I've got Essex stories. That's the only difference in our conversation. We come from the same place economically. We're fighting the same fight. We're punching up from no one would ever say that. I'll probably be in trouble for even saying that. That's the controversial thing for me to say. And it shouldn't be because if Corbyn and people like that have got it right, everyone who starts with what I call lower entitlement points, I've got a lot more entitlement points than a woman of color. Undoubtedly. But I've got less entitlement points probably than a Ghanaian prince, right? So all the people that have got fuck all should link arms. Doesn't matter what gender you are, what color you are, that would be powerful. I'm a bit nervous when we get...”
