WEBVTT - My proposition to Sam (from MAFS) 0:00:00.320 --> 0:00:03.600 Hello, and welcome to Occasionally Funny, the podcast which aims 0:00:03.640 --> 0:00:07.600 to be occasionally funny. I'm your host, Joshua Fox, and 0:00:07.680 --> 0:00:11.280 I'm not actually sure this intro track works because actually 0:00:11.280 --> 0:00:13.640 it sounds more like a game show from the nineties, 0:00:13.680 --> 0:00:17.439 which is that the vibe I one, I'm not sure 0:00:18.200 --> 0:00:22.759 it is fun I suppose no, actually could it? I 0:00:22.920 --> 0:00:27.040 hate it? Or do I? Okay? Hi, here's the deal, right. 0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:29.920 I assume you're all here from the Maths Funny Podcast, 0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:32.920 which means you kind of know me by now you 0:00:33.000 --> 0:00:35.640 know my vibe, and I assume you also know I'm 0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:39.680 not the most professional person. I don't plan things too 0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:42.519 far ahead. And instead of waiting weeks to launch this 0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:46.040 podcast once I've mapped out how it's gonna look and 0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:49.440 sound and who I'm gonna be talking to, I just thought, 0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:52.840 let's figure it out as we go together, and let's 0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:56.880 just start now while I'm excited and hopefully you guys 0:00:56.920 --> 0:01:00.000 are excited. And I'm literally recording this first episode now 0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:04.319 covered in paint, wearing highves because I've just painted the 0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:07.200 walls so that will make the little set I'm making 0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:10.000 for this podcast. And I'm also sat on the floor 0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:13.600 because I'm yet to decide what color chairs or sofa 0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:16.440 to buy that will go nice with the shade of 0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:20.920 hydrated piss yellow. Eye fought would make a nice logo, 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:24.240 which I'm already regressing, but I've now painted these walls 0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:28.080 that same shade of piss yellow. So, as I said, 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:30.920 We're going to figure things out as we go, including 0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:34.960 cooler schemes. But for now, and for anyone wondering, well, Josh, 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:39.560 why are you doing a new podcast? Why not the 0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:42.280 last couple of months covering this year's season of mass 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:46.120 and especially all the feedback from you lovely people listening, 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:50.640 like it really has ignited like this new passion and 0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:53.560 joy within me, which I know sounds cringe, but that's 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:56.160 actually the truth. And it's also helped me like find 0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:59.880 this confidence where I'm like, hey, maybe I don't need 0:01:59.880 --> 0:02:02.800 to limit myself to only ever talking about married at 0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:05.560 First Sight for three months of the year, because I 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:07.840 thought that's all anyone wanted to hear from me, So 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:11.760 here I am. There's gonna be no specific theme to 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:15.560 this podcast other than having fun and hopefully entertaining while 0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:19.520 talking about whatever. Really, and I will sometimes touch on 0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:22.920 the most serious things, but I will try and approach 0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:25.160 them with humor, which I think is what I've always 0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:28.480 done throughout my life. And I do actually have two 0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:32.640 main points to tick off in this first episode though. Firstly, 0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:36.360 I really want to try and push myself with the 0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:40.840 content and in ways I can entertain, and I suppose 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:45.360 try and be funny, like I feel I'm okay with 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:48.680 like the odd witty one liner and banter when I'm 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:52.200 back and forth talking with someone, but when it comes 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:54.800 to the word funny, which apparently I've built a whole 0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:58.200 brand around, despite people often saying You're not funny at all, 0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:02.760 You're too serious. I've decided, well, I'm gonna lean into that, 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:06.080 and I've set myself a challenge which already terrifies me, 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:10.400 and that's to do a stand up comedy routine, which 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.960 I hate public speaking in front of anyone, whether I 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:18.360 know them or not, like it actually terrifies me. And 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:20.880 I'm working on that right now for a future episode. 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:24.839 But the second point to tick off now is I'm 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:30.320 gonna have a co host. Okay, yeah, now these sound 0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:32.160 effects are gonna go. I'm gonna find some new ones 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:35.040 for the next episode. But yes, how I see this 0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:39.240 podcast going is I think I'm gonna choose every Wednesday 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:43.080 morning to drop like a main, full length episode, and 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:45.800 then throughout the week I may just drop shorter ones 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:48.880 if I feel compelled to jump behind the mic and 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:53.080 talk about something that's happening in that moment. And I 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:55.880 see it going like one episode will just be me 0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:58.880 solo one week, or maybe me with like a guest 0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:01.920 I'm interviewing, and then the next one the next week 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:03.840 will be meet and my co host, and it will 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:06.240 just go back and forth like that. And that's kind 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:09.160 of just because logistically it'll be hard to have the 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:12.640 co host with me in the studio every single week. 0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:17.400 But the issue now is I've actually got two potential 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:20.039 co hosts and I can't decide which one to go with. 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:24.000 And secondly, neither of them actually have any idea that 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:26.800 even being considered for this role, I don't even know 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:30.839 if they want. And these two people, they're already like 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:35.080 favorites amongst you, and you know them both quite well 0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:38.720 by now, and I've got banter and chemistry with them both, 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:44.440 and they are of course my mum and Sam from 0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:47.400 this year is married at first sight, and earlier this morning, 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:50.159 I actually phoned them both up separately to break this 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:53.200 exciting news to them. And I started off with the 0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:58.159 gentle giant himself, Sammy, And I'll be honest, this call 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:00.520 got off to quite the that's your. 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:05.839 Start, Josh? 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:07.720 Hello?

How are you? 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:20.640 I'm good? It's backing ad lady. You know a place 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:21.880 of lies and dreams. 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:24.400 What are you doing? You just sat on the bench. 0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:28.880 Just outside of my at my share house. What's up? 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:30.039 What's going on? 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:33.159 No?

I decided to put Sam 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:34.000 on the spot a little bit to see how he 0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:37.640 acts under pressure. And also I wanted to give him 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:40.760 like a tease of my stand up comedy routine that 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:41.920 I'm still working on. 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:43.920 Give me some time.

If that's what you're looking for, 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:56.040 you're not going to get it from me. You're going 0:14:56.120 --> 0:15:00.520 to get like flow reactions late to the game, not 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:02.920 heaps a whit all the time.

And we can have a laughboarder so we 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:19.800 can like touch on the serious things in life. 0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:24.840 I can be serious, maybe not, I could be dead serious. 0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:27.440 Let's we can whip the journal out whenever we need 0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:29.000 to be serious, and then we'll be fine. 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:31.680 Have you always aspired to host a podcast? 0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:33.800 I've always been with the saying that you know, they 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:37.320 should make podcast material more expensive because anybody doesn't. And 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:40.040 then if I felt like fine was then to do 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:43.680 it kind of go against that. But hell, here we are, 0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:47.200 me apparently applying to be a co host in a 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:48.560 in a show that I didn't know about. 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:52.240 I'm doing a stand up comedy routine to try to 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:54.640 bring my funny back and one of the jokes I've 0:15:54.680 --> 0:16:00.000 just written, which I'm gonna tease for the audiences, every 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:03.640 gay man over thirty has one of two things, either 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:05.440 a podcast or a Kettleman addiction. 0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:11.680 Yeah, oh wow, true, I feel like a lot of both. 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:16.800 Wow, that was a tough crowd. That's the best joke 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:17.600 in my whole set. 0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:23.960 Well only needs to be occasionally. Okay, Wow, Actually I'm 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:24.680 pretty confident. 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:29.760 Now back to my mum now, and our phone call 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:33.440 quickly moved away from the podcast and into a disagreement 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:37.280 that we recently had. But the thing with you, though, Mum, 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:41.520 is you are funny, but you often don't mean to be. 0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:47.480 Well yeah, right, okay, you know the example I was 0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:47.920 thinking of. 0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:53.600 Come on, remember our last disagreement and slight argument about 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:57.360 you phoned me, bursting with excitement to ask do I 0:16:57.440 --> 0:17:00.400 know the pop star Sabrina Carpenter because you've just been 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:03.720 to her concert? Ah, that was so funn and met 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:07.240 her in the local pub and I said, no, Mom, 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:10.400 Sabrina Carpenter has not just performed in your local pub 0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:13.680 in a small seaside town in northern England that's full 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:16.920 of pensioners. And you were adamant she like. We had 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:20.440 an argument about it. I sent you things, news articles 0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:23.320 proving she was in a marriage at the time. I 0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:26.560 sent you pictures of her when she was apparently performing 0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:29.240 for you in America, but you still wouldn't have it. 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:31.000 And what was it, Mum? 0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:37.119 Well, yeah, it was a Sabrina Carpins tribute. But to 0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:41.760 be honest, I never heard of Sabrin the Carpins even. 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:43.920 Though even when I told you she had like sixty 0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:48.520 five million monthly Spotify listeners. Yeah, but even when I 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:51.040 said that, you were still adamant that she'd just done 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:52.960 a gig in your local pub. 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:56.280 Ah, that was funny. 0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:59.080 We did wonder when we walked into the bar and thought, 0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:03.320 where's the all little kids running around with pinks? And 0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:07.600 we see quinned cowboy ats on something. Because normally this 0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:11.600 bar we got in it, Yeah, not for the young 0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:14.639 kids running around with pink Sea Quinn cowboy acts on. 0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:17.400 So surely that in itself would make you think, why 0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:21.640 would this global pop star be in your local pub? 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:27.000 Well, no, because I've never heard the name Sabrina Carpenter. 0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:30.080 The only famous Carpenter ide I heard of was the 0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:34.040 Carpenters Karen Carpenter and Richard Carpenter. 0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:33.960 A brother. 0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:36.119 I thought you were going to say Joseph then. 0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:40.359 No, not Choseah, that might have been the dw or 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:40.720 don't know. 0:18:41.880 --> 0:18:44.680 Did you that was a joke. That was a joke, 0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:47.280 famous Carpenter. 0:18:48.280 --> 0:18:51.679 Yeah, Joseph Carpenter, Mary and chose Okay. 0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:55.040 As I was wrapping up my phone call with Sam, 0:18:55.200 --> 0:19:00.520 I actually had one quite upsetting realization. What if Sam 0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:04.640 and my mum team up together and do a podcast 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:07.800 without me. Do you have anything you wish to share 0:19:07.800 --> 0:19:08.200 before you go? 0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:10.119 Now, I'm going to keep my cards close to my 0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:12.639 chest and come into this ready to take on your 0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:15.880 mom in competition for the podcast. 0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:19.960 Imagine you two just team up when I'm not in 0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:20.479 the podcast. 0:19:21.800 --> 0:19:24.400 I mean, i'd watch that. That's great. Have you thought 0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:24.680 about that? 0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:27.320 I feel like you're the child she wished she had, 0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:36.159 so sweet and wholesome. It was a pleasure. Sadly, it 0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:38.919 wasn't quite as easy to wrap the phone call up 0:19:38.960 --> 0:19:41.600 with my mum, who decided to just throw my dad 0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:44.639 on the phone. As I was attempting to say goodbye. Now, 0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:47.320 would you say that you find mum funny? 0:19:55.640 --> 0:19:55.920 Funny? 0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:59.440 I was in humorous? Well, yeah, like to make your laugh. 0:19:59.520 --> 0:20:00.760 What was the last jokes she told you? 0:20:03.200 --> 0:20:04.080 What was the last joke? 0:20:04.080 --> 0:20:13.800 Your mom just said she doesn't do jokes. She pulls 0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:18.640 her face every time I do, because they're all old 0:20:18.720 --> 0:20:27.840 dad jokes apparently. But your mom is very good with people. 0:20:29.000 --> 0:20:29.959 She's just a natural. 0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:34.240 She just sort of gets on with people and makes 0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:36.359 people feel at home, and they all take to her 0:20:36.520 --> 0:20:39.480 very quickly. Whether it's not for telling jokes. It's just 0:20:39.600 --> 0:20:41.000 for being a nice person. 0:20:42.160 --> 0:20:45.000 Well that's lovely, and she's listening to you to say that, 0:20:45.080 --> 0:20:46.720 but as long as she makes them laugh as well. 0:20:49.040 --> 0:20:50.480 I know she was in the other room when I 0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:58.760 said all that.
