“So, I'm not going to use real names here, and I'm not going to use real jobs because I respect my profession is so hard I don't give a shit whether you're Prince Giles doing stand-up. Anyone who does stand up, I just, it's so hard to stand up. And I don't think an elite background helps you stand up. It might help you in Telly and production, might help you on stage with a bucket of piss coming through. But I've been told on more than one occasion, we'd love to, we'll book you for the X show, but we've already got Ollie. And so we got Ollie, we can't have two. And I'm like, how Amida, me and Ollie represent the same thing? I sometimes think, well, I've got more in common with, I could phone up, I don't know if you know who Judy Love is”

“Exactly. So that's what I think that I think we can differentiate there on hard work straight away. So I'm more interested in the first thing you said about the The join between people's origin story And how much stick they get for the success they've got because I'm I have to phrase mine a lot more than you, because I get put in with the silver spoon guys, because I may just a white man.”

“Well, first of all, we sort of already made the point. A lot of people are working hard at things they hate. So working hard at things you dislike, hate or find stressful will bring success and money but at a cost. Working hard at things you love, I finished filming at midnight last night in Mason. I got in at half one. I had my dinner at two and I fell asleep at three and I bounced out of bed this morning to come here to do a podcast for the price of a car. Why? Because I love what I do. Now if I had got in at three from working as a hospital porter and had to get up to do another job, which was quite well paid this morning, but I hated it, I wouldn't be buzzing. And that's what releases the cortisol and the stress hormone into your body. So you can't compare, you're not comparing like and like, even though both people are working hard. You've even got people that might be barristers or doctors really well-paid professions, but find it stressful when they're burnt out and stuff. It's unlikely you.”

“So shaming people for eating too much is a waste of time because most people with busy lives and kids and no money are in a condition that's compelling them to eat more. It might be emotionally compounded, might be psychologically compounded, they might be recovering from abuse, they might be recovering from a bad relationship. They might just be skin and can only afford fucking nuggets and they're just tired. They're not getting enough sleep. And unfortunately, until you get into a low fat state like us where it's easy to regulate your calorie, every part of your body is telling you to feed this obesity. No one understands that. I've gone deep into the science. I'm not a scientist, so look it up for yourself before everyone starts trolling me saying literature degree boy. But as far as I understand the science, layman's cards on table, obesity causes overeating. Now that is just boom, but it helps us to be more as much as I agree with what you're saying. It leavens more compassion into people's weight loss journey. Although you're absolutely correct.”

“Smoking is a slam dunk. Don't smoke, you're a bell End off dickhead, don't smoke, stop costing me money on the NHS. But someone that might be overweight, it's very, very complex to understand why someone's overweight. It's something I studied a lot, not because I've been overweight, but because I'm fascinated with biohacking and body and all of that. And I think The most illuminating thing I can tell anyone about being overweight is that Eating too much does not make you overweight. This is no one understands this I'm going to blow your mind here. Being overweight causes you to eat too much. Once you have the metabolic condition of being overweight that fucks your circuitry which drives you to eat Obesity”

“Personal responsibility, longevity in health with a body type were in a difficult area where we create shame for people based on how they look, which is something we want to get rid of. So for someone like me who's on the left, my head just goes pop.”

“Well, the obesity one's particularly controversial because there's two movements at the same time. There's personal responsibility and the science we're learning about obesity, particularly during COVID. I mean, if you wanted to do one thing other than social distancing, obviously get a vaccine, but most of us are too young to have had a vaccine. So if you haven't had the vaccine and you don't want to live life like a prisoner, the best thing you can do is get in shape quick. You're literally better off being, I think, a thin smoker. Literally, yeah. But it's a controversial conversation because, quite rightly, we're re-evaluating beauty standards and a lot of people end up with eating disorders and fat shaming and all that needs to go away. And as soon as we associate...”

“Was it's a trick, stop turning if you've read this headline, go and collect the money. That was on page two. All the unlucky people missed that. All the lucky people found it. You know why? Because lucky people's eyes are open. The hustlers. So it turns out you can make luck. You can practice that. You can hone it. That's something you can hone. Next time you walk into a meeting, just think, right, what's that guy do for a living? Is that a contact? That's not luck if I sit down next to someone and he happens to be doing a comedy streaming service, start up, and he signs me up. That's me being a bit bold and striking up a conversation and looking at what he's wearing and having a think. You can learn these skills.”

“And what luck is not luck as in lottery number luck, but luck is in, oh my God, you've met the perfect partner, you've met the business. Oh, you were looking for a French bulldog breed and you found exactly the right one at the right time when you were looking for a puppy. Why are you so lucky? Why is my life so? So they tested this. They got a bunch of people together, half people who say, my life's shit, I'm so unlucky. And half people like me who like, I've got to admit I'm a bit unbl. Hashtag blessed. I do have a lot of luck. And they run tests on them. And the test they run was very simple. The psychologist, I come from the British Jewish guy really funny, brings loads of books out. Richard something or other. He's written a book about it, about luck. Look it up. They gave him newspaper each and they went in there, go into your separate rooms. And on a page is a picture you're looking for. Whoever finds that picture comes in first, gets £100 cash. That was the game. So everyone went in like that. On page two, in massive headlines.”

“That's out of every single little mixed doom. That's out of every single one in a show that's designed to push people to the front in artificial way. So if you think that's going to happen, if you're Russell from Essex, you're deluded. But any business, if you're passionate, mixed with a little bit of luck, people, this is the other thing people like us don't like putting out there, but I'm afraid there is a bit of luck involved It sort of calls into like we sat here again. I've worked so hard. Oh, look at me with my work hard badge. But at some point, we had some luck as well, just we were in the right place, right time, mixed with the hard work. So some people are more lucky than others. Luck is a thing.”

“Be rich, yeah, yeah. So find something else, find something where you love the journey. That is the secret to that. That's what my dad never found. He didn't find a job he took pleasure in. He's got nothing to do with coin, although I'm into it. But if you love the outdoors, you're going to love landscaping, whether you're on 17 grand a year or 17 million a year.

“Practice I get a lot of. This is the message I get most often sent to me via my agent or on Instagram and it drives me fucking nuts. I had one the other week Oh my God, I love what you do. I'm a really funny person. This is how it was phrased the other week. How many gigs would I have to do before I could open for you on tour? Can you have a look at some stuff I filmed on my phone? And I give them an answer that I never get a reply to this answer. I say, okay, it's quite simple. Lucky for you, there is a really simple model to follow. You need to work unpaid for three years in the clubs, three times a week. I wouldn't recommend a relationship and just warn your friend you're not going to see them. I started to earn about two, three hundred pounds a week after five years. At that point, you're ready to give up your day job on about the eighth or ninth year, you're going to be ready to do a support slot.”

“Comedy routine is a thing, a poem is a thing. The things over there that's not you. You have to practice being able to take the piss out of the thing, criticize the thing. No, someone's not coming up to you and going, you're ugly, you're unlovable. You've got a big nose, you're not tall enough, stuff like that is going to hurt. And there's no way of getting objective. But if you can't look at a poem you've written and someone goes, I really love the meter, but the adjective there's a bit obvious, you should be able to thank that person. They're giving you a gift if they know their shit. But you're the one that should be saying that first. Eminem style, eight mile, seize the bars and turn them on yourself first.”

“So you could look at it that way. So I would say that person needs to learn not self esteem because self-esteem is a totally separate conversation. They need to learn objectivity. A piece of writing is a thing. A relationship is a thing that you've built with someone.”

“There's loads of places where you can go look, I'm not just got a first in English, I've got a first in writing. I can take body copy and make your brand pop. So, how do you do a dissertation in creative writing? There's only one way you have to submit 10,000 words normal academic poncing about, and you have to submit 10,000 word short story play, but you have to run through your own work and criticize it and say what you got right and what you got wrong. Once you've been through that and done it loads of times, it's just becomes natural to bring it to your life. A copywriter in an advertising agency has to be able to Really hate his own work he just created and find the faults in it because that will lift it above Ogilvy's copyrighter and you'll win the pitch.”

“I started doing English literature because I wanted to do the most show off uncouncillor estate posh subject possible. I mean, I was going to get a first or I was, I don't know what was going to happen. So I told myself I'm going to get a first no matter what. That was preordained. So I did two years of showing off about, you know, Roland Barton Austin and all that. And there was an opportunity in the last year to cross over into creative writing. And the reason I did that. Again, goes back to my dad. It's not very practical to be absolutely badass on Jane Austen unless you're going to want to be a lecturer or an academic. Whereas creative writing is a practical profession. You can go into advertising. You can go into journalism. You can try and write books. As it turns out, go into standup. I didn't know that yet.”

“Current state. If you do not have insight into your condition, you are screwed. Because if you're, let's say, for example, schizophrenic without insight into the fact you have schizophrenia, you will not take the medicine. You just won't take it. You'll look at the pill and go, well, I'm not ill. So you'll be in assisted accommodation your entire life. If you're schizophrenic but know you have schizophrenia, chances are you can have a relatively normal life because you know I'm ill, I need to take my medicine. But you can translate that thinking to any aspect of business or commerce to stand up to entrepreneurs because I've noticed, I call it black box thinking from the Matthew Syed book. The moment you can have insight into a stand-up routine or into a business proposition in a proper way where you can look at it and go, that doesn't work, you're going to be successful. People that don't have insight into themselves in their personal lives.”

“Now that's my biggest learning. Mental health comes on a spectrum. It doesn't mean mentally we have mental health. If we have physical health, we have mental health Even if you have no issues, that's good you are mental health. So mental health runs on a spectra to people that are cooking on four hobbs like me and you, hopefully, all the way down to people like my brother who are severely, severely ill with cognition issues. And people who are severely ill or people who are trapped in time, like our dad's before an awakening, they don't have insight into their.”

“Does it gives hope for all of us that you're only 50% of your dad and 50% of your mum? And although you're actually slightly more of your mum I've learnt out anyway. So if you're only 50%, if twins aren't destined to be the same, you're not destined to be the same as a parent. It's bad. It's a bad way to think, particularly if it's a negative. It's a good way to think if there's something you want to copy. Tell yourself it, chant it. Want to be more like my mum. She's such a cool cat or whatever.”

“I can't think of anything you can't change with loads of ways. Education, cognitive behavioral therapy if you need it, I never have, but you can work on the way you eat your diet, your lifestyle, all of those genetics is not destiny. One of the most fascinating things you can look up is identical twin studies over and over again. You'll get one twin that's two inches taller than the other, where he's had a more successful, not two inches, but it might be an inch taller where he's had a more successful life eating better food. So you can literally grow taller. You must be able to push against behavior.”

“Obviously, yeah. I mean, so my brother, I can't really go into my brother's illness because he's literally not well enough to consent for me to talk about it. Otherwise, I would happily discuss it because it's an important subject to talk about. But he's got some severe mental health issues. Let's just leave it there. So my brother's really sort of unrefreshingly unaware of his mannerisms and gestures and postures, if you like. And it's just like my old man. So how can your way your voice and the cadence of a sentence and the glances and the way you say, no, I mean and stuff like that, it is my old man. So I mean on some genetic level, there are copies of how we express ourselves there must be, but Apart from maybe your height.”

So if we were in a restaurant and I'd be seven years old and I'd spill a glass of water, not Coke or anything, so he's not going to get sticky legs, he'd be like, water everywhere, fucking meal ruined.

“He had a lot of dreams. I think he would have liked to have gone the same way I did. He was quite a good looking blow, so he got scouted for modelling and things like that. He pursued that for a bit. He pursued the professional bodybuilding. He even tried stand up, I think like a Pontines or a Butlins. He tried a little bit of acting. Only for a couple of years. And then he went into the hardest, I think, of all the manual labor you can do, which is sheet metal and insulation. So like I say, crawling along pipes and all that. So there are a lot of bitterness, a lot of unrealized dreams, a lot of abandoned by your dad, a lot of hardness and negativity there from the childhood. And that plagued him his whole life. So if we were on a beautiful four-star holiday to Menorco in the sun shining, part of him would be thinking about the five-star holiday he could have. I'm not like that at all.”

Your mom, your dad didn't get taught how to be a dad, so you just know what he didn't know how to be around babies, he'd never learned that sort of thing. He didn't have anyone to guide him.

So I was interested to know what was in there. But part of me did go was, what if this is the moment I discover my dad's not my dad? It did cross my mind, which is totally absurd. Sorry, mum, if you're watching, because he was blonde hair, blonde curly hair, blue eyes, very wide, we're just nothing in common.

“You just needed to look at my, you know, to be honest with you, my dad's given me so many positive things. It's just that the negative things are funny. So that's why I talk about them disproportionately. But to teach someone, I'm five foot 10 like a pepper army with hair on. But when I stand on stage, I don't need to hit people or shout. They sit in their seats and some of them in the front row shit themselves if I even look at them. So who have I learned that from? It's partly my craft, but it's partly also what a good teacher has, what a good dad has like my dad, and what a good stand-up has. Male or female, that authority to stand there and hold a room with a reasonable tone in the voice, pin drop. It's powerful. It's harder for a mum to do that, particularly where I grew up as a single mums. When you've got teenage lads that are sort of thinking, what are you going to do? It becomes like an arms race where the mum starts hit.”

“Steroid taking shaven headed silver back, dormant, right wing, angry councillor state working class barbell curl, semi-professional bodybuilder, lifeguard, sheet metal worker, lagger, nutter. By lagger, I don't mean someone who gets on it. I mean someone who puts the insulation on the outside of pipes. The hardest job you can imagine crawling in boilers, ripping out asbestos, fiberglass, cut hands, white transit van, get out of way, just massive. Shirts. When he's taking steroids, which was before I was born, shirts tailored, trousers split in hulk-like at the thigh. Just a force of meat called Dave. That was my dad”

“No, no, as soon as in his presence, I think, but so far as that, I think that quote might be talking about stand up. I wouldn't have dared to tell the funny stories about him while he was alive, I don't think, just on the risk he was offended or, you know, there'd be consequences.”

“Well, I don't think that's true of just me. I think any boy or probably girl who has a reasonably overbearing and dominant father, you sort of remain a child. Now that I'm a father myself, I can see that's true. So when my daughter Minna is 40, she's still going to be my baby. So that's the positive side of it. The negative side of it is if it's quite an overbearing masculine energy. I felt sometimes a bit like a bonsai. Like I kept nearly growing and then the roots were trimmed. So I was fully grown but small. So if my dad was in the room, you know, I was instantly childlike, I would say, inside. So it's just a very dominating figure. And I think that would have been the same had my dad not dropped down dead from a heart attack years ago. I think that would have been the same when I'd been 40, 50, 60 if my dad had been 90 year old shouting in the corner. I probably still would have been like that.”

“Started doing all this biohacking to survive on less sleep, to not lose your hair, or to slow down the aging process. It fucked my life in the proper sense everything fell apart like a junkie. How can I get more of that? My relationship with my girlfriend fell apart. My bill started to not be paid. I started to look thin. It's the closest thing to a drug addiction that I've ever experienced.”
