Speaker 1: Look out. It's only films to be buried with. Hello
Speaker 1: and welcome two films to be Buried with by Davis
Speaker 1: Brett Goldstein. I'm a comedian and actor, a writer, a director,
Speaker 1: a kasha, and I love films. As Candice Bushner once said,
Speaker 1: maybe our girlfriends are our soulmates, and guys are just
Speaker 1: people who have fun with And maybe that Beatles documentary
Speaker 1: could have been even longer than it was if they've
Speaker 1: done less editing. Do you know what I mean? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a good point. That's why it's words Candice. Every
Speaker 1: week I but a special guests over. I tell them
Speaker 1: they've died. Then I get them to discuss their lives
Speaker 1: through the films that meant the most of them. Previous
Speaker 1: guests include Barry Jenkins, Kevin Smith, Hannah Waddingham and even
Speaker 1: Bled Crambles. But this week it's the brilliant comedian and
Speaker 1: doctor mister Michael Akadi. Get over to the patroon at
Speaker 1: patron dot com forwards last Brett Goldstein, where you get
Speaker 1: next of fifteen minutes with Michael. We laugh a lot,
Speaker 1: we talk about big innings and endings, and there's a secret.
Speaker 1: You get the whole episode uncut and ad free and
Speaker 1: as a video who doesn't like videos? Lots of people,
Speaker 1: I guess so. Michael AKADERI is a stand up who's
Speaker 1: just starting his first Edinburgh Fringe solo hour today. I
Speaker 1: think so. If you're in Edinburgh, go and see it.
Speaker 1: He is also the very first real life doctor I've
Speaker 1: had on the show, and his thoughts on death and
Speaker 1: film were absolutely brilliant. I loved hanging out with him.
Speaker 1: Go see a show in Edinburgh and I think you're
Speaker 1: gonna love this one. Okay, So that is it for now.
Speaker 1: I very much hope you enjoy episode two hundred and
Speaker 1: seven of Films to be Buried With. Hello, and welcome
Speaker 1: to Films to be Buried With. It is me Brett Goldstein,
Speaker 1: and I'm joined today by an actor, a writer, a performer,
Speaker 1: a junior doctor, a soon to be surgeon, and most
Speaker 1: of all, an incredible stand up comedian. Please work into
Speaker 1: this show. I can't believe he's here in any of you. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's him. It's the one and the only theory is
Speaker 1: it's Michael, like a dare. What's an intro? I love that.
Speaker 1: That's that's very kind man, that's very very kind man.
Speaker 1: You introduced me better than I introduced myself, man, so
Speaker 1: I appreciate. Well, you can't introduce yourself like that if
Speaker 1: you're English, you'd sound like a prick. You have to
Speaker 1: let someone else do that. Then you have to come
Speaker 1: in or like, oh hey, it's nothing, I'm just all
Speaker 1: these things. Stop it stop. It's nice to see you.
Speaker 1: I've been a fan of yours from videos, and we've
Speaker 1: never had a gig together, have we. We've not had
Speaker 1: the fortune of having a gig together, man. So yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a bit surreal meeting you in this circumstance, but
Speaker 1: it's very nice to do, to finally sit down and chat. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'd love to stand up. And I really keep wanting
Speaker 1: us to have a gig together, and it hasn't happened,
Speaker 1: but I'm sure it will one day. Most often. Are
Speaker 1: you about to do Edinburgh? Yes, yes, yes, yes, so August,
Speaker 1: I will be at the Pleasant Courtyard. I'm there for
Speaker 1: the whole month doing my debut out. So I'm really
Speaker 1: excited about it. What's it called, what's the sh It's
Speaker 1: called No Scrub. So it's called No Scrubs. It's about
Speaker 1: my life in it energes. You alluded to my life
Speaker 1: at the doctor. It's also about perceptions when I'm not
Speaker 1: in my scrubs and how I can be seen as
Speaker 1: a scrub. So it's a bit a player on the
Speaker 1: words on the term scrub. That interesting now, unless you're
Speaker 1: sick of talking about it, I mean it is. It
Speaker 1: is your USPA, because it is fascinating. You're an actual
Speaker 1: You're an actual human doctor who does actually yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: that's what I do. Somehow, somehow I jaggle both. It's difficult,
Speaker 1: but I am. I save lives. It's weird to say,
Speaker 1: but that's what. And so how is your time split
Speaker 1: if I may, or do you just gig when you can? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: so obviously we have a set rota. So on my rotar,
Speaker 1: I know when I can gig, I know when I
Speaker 1: can't gig, and I just basic dot gigs around the
Speaker 1: time when I'm available to two gigs, so to speak,
Speaker 1: and I squeeze things like this after shifts. So you know,
Speaker 1: it's a bit of juggling. It's a bit well, it's
Speaker 1: all important. I think if you want to do something
Speaker 1: in your spare time, you'll do it. So, like I
Speaker 1: guess you're in this podcast you're a busy guy, but
Speaker 1: you still find time to do your podcast, so you
Speaker 1: know it's all about finding time for the food you
Speaker 1: want to do. Yeah, look, I don't think this is
Speaker 1: the same. But it's funny because people always ask me, like,
Speaker 1: you know, I do writing, acting, stand up wherever, and
Speaker 1: people always going what's your favorite? If you can only
Speaker 1: do one? And I'm always like, why do I have
Speaker 1: to have one? Kind of do the bill? And I
Speaker 1: was going to ask you, is it the same with
Speaker 1: being like as in, does it become a point where
Speaker 1: it's like you have to choose one? Or are you
Speaker 1: having both forever? I mean, what does it become a Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's been it's been a nice struggle so far. But
Speaker 1: I think the stand ups picking up in terms of
Speaker 1: this demands and the more gigs I do, and I
Speaker 1: guess the better you do, if anything, the more in
Speaker 1: demand will get you'll be. So I'm getting to the
Speaker 1: point now where it's like, oh, you know, do I
Speaker 1: have to decide or the sort of pick It depends
Speaker 1: on what edimurg edinmur goes really really well, then maybe
Speaker 1: I'll put in a condition I've got really decided because
Speaker 1: it's hard to juggle both. Don't you think it's it's
Speaker 1: it's different from me going oh, I'll just do stand up.
Speaker 1: It's no one's no one's dying. But if you go,
Speaker 1: people are losing their lives. I mean, your gigs better
Speaker 1: be fucking amazing. That's the pressure that is. That is
Speaker 1: the pressures so wild because on the flip side, when
Speaker 1: I do a gig and I'm like, oh, it doesn't
Speaker 1: go well, Let's say people don't laugh. That's the worst
Speaker 1: that could happen at a gig people don't laugh. But
Speaker 1: my Harbor job, if if I don't have a good day,
Speaker 1: the worlst that could happen is it's kind of catastrophic.
Speaker 1: So it just it just shows the pressures of the
Speaker 1: two environments. But it's having you die or day die
Speaker 1: on a bad day on the EVA job. Yeah, essentially essentially,
Speaker 1: And I don't like committed to suicide. So you know,
Speaker 1: there's a few like pulsing her in Harry Hill who
Speaker 1: were doctors in and now full time comedians. And I
Speaker 1: always think and imagine if you were there patients and
Speaker 1: then you're watching Harry Hill's TV burning like what the
Speaker 1: exactly exactly and maybe the people say about me too,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe don't say about I'll treat it. But
Speaker 1: a guy, now you're on. Have you ever had the
Speaker 1: experience of a patient coming to see you do comedy
Speaker 1: and not necessarily knowing until you were on stage. No,
Speaker 1: not yet. I've had I've had people recognize me from
Speaker 1: gigs and see me at work if they also work
Speaker 1: in the same place. I've had that. I've had people say, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm adopted too, so I'll come to see your show.
Speaker 1: But I've never had a patient come and see me.
Speaker 1: I think that's the next level. What that's that's proper levels.
Speaker 1: You treat treated me medically. Now you want to treat
Speaker 1: my I'll treat me to some laughter. That's double dose. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I guess the other way around would be horrendous if
Speaker 1: someone saw you do stand up and then the next
Speaker 1: day was in hospital and you came in to tell
Speaker 1: them bad days, and they're like, what this no punch line,
Speaker 1: no punch line? Yeah, but that would I think that
Speaker 1: would be a proper mind for them. No, No, not him,
Speaker 1: not him talking about all these rubbish on stages. They
Speaker 1: not him. Can I ask how your shift was today?
Speaker 1: I don't know many yeah, it was. It was a
Speaker 1: bit critical because it's always hard to plan stuff after
Speaker 1: work because with anything, when you when you have a
Speaker 1: fooish time, it's like, oh, that's your finished time. But
Speaker 1: sometimes you can be sort of be dealing with an
Speaker 1: emergency sort of up to the time where you've gotta
Speaker 1: be like I've got to go and sort of hand
Speaker 1: it over. But it was steady, busy, but nothing I
Speaker 1: couldn't sort of handle that. You know, people I do
Speaker 1: sort orthopedix of bones and joints, so people broken bones,
Speaker 1: to see people cutting their skin and stuff like that,
Speaker 1: and you know, but yeah, it's all rude, ementary stuff
Speaker 1: to me. I probably sound a bit glory to people
Speaker 1: that may be listening. It's part of your training, like
Speaker 1: how to handle that stuff emotionally, so so you don't
Speaker 1: take it home with you. You know it is there
Speaker 1: actually training for that or is it just do it?
Speaker 1: If by doing it? I wish there was a trading.
Speaker 1: I wish just kind of like, you know, you see something,
Speaker 1: you can see something crazy today, but if a road
Speaker 1: to be back at work tomorrow, they need you back
Speaker 1: at work. So it's kind of like this, well, you know,
Speaker 1: drug it off. It's weird. It's so weird that you
Speaker 1: have to carpon mentalize your sort of feelings. I think
Speaker 1: there's there, definitely is, in my opinion, lack of sort
Speaker 1: of pastoral support and the expectation is that you see
Speaker 1: something crazy and it's just well, that's just work, and
Speaker 1: if you get on about your business, you just jump
Speaker 1: back on the horse, you know what I mean. So
Speaker 1: there is that weird, and there's it's such an unspoken
Speaker 1: thing about it. Metal it's such a like, you know, oh,
Speaker 1: that's crazy. Sometimes they do these formal deep bruce or
Speaker 1: something major catastrophic happening, but that's few and far between.
Speaker 1: You know, if you have a bad day at work,
Speaker 1: it's kind of like, okay, all right, man, we need
Speaker 1: you tomorrow. Can I ask you? I hope this isn't
Speaker 1: the question because I don't want you to tell me
Speaker 1: if I don't want you to specify the thing. But
Speaker 1: are there like things that have happened that you find
Speaker 1: do haunt You might have been weeks ago, months ago
Speaker 1: that you're like, there was this one thing that stays
Speaker 1: with me or is it a general you can let
Speaker 1: it go at the end of the day. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't want to get you back any demons. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm pretty good. As cynical as that sound,
Speaker 1: I'm pretty good at probably sort of packaging stuff like
Speaker 1: I could have a bad shift and maybe the night
Speaker 1: after and I may think about during the night and stuff.
Speaker 1: Minute have a good sleep, but I think the following
Speaker 1: day I tend to strug struggle things off. It's not
Speaker 1: the same, obviously not the same, but I guess start
Speaker 1: having a bad gig, you have a bad my goodness,
Speaker 1: it was terrible. My punt sanded land here or awkard
Speaker 1: punt auquitect clar and then you kind of sleep on it.
Speaker 1: Then the next day you're kind of like a new
Speaker 1: day sort of things. So you can't have to have
Speaker 1: the same attitude. You just wad to comparing the gig.
Speaker 1: And I was thinking when you said it, yes like challenge, Well,
Speaker 1: you know I had that plant like it or that heckler.
Speaker 1: I had a difficult heckler there. You know they at
Speaker 1: the office and then you kind of struggle move on.
Speaker 1: I can imagine you're leaving a tricky day at work
Speaker 1: and go into a green room and hearing comedians complaining
Speaker 1: about their comedy and you there must be part of you.
Speaker 1: It's like, I'll come on, mate, I just watch someone
Speaker 1: give you like perspective. Like sometimes year it's weird because
Speaker 1: I guess I started comedy as a hobby and it's
Speaker 1: now it's the probably that's got out of control. And
Speaker 1: I always tell myself, I don't I don't have to
Speaker 1: be doing this, if you know what I mean, not
Speaker 1: not in a copy sort of way, but more in
Speaker 1: a there are more serious things that life that are happening,
Speaker 1: and if you know what I mean. So I come
Speaker 1: with that sort of perspective to things. So sometimes when
Speaker 1: I hear people complaining, I'm like, there are real people suffering,
Speaker 1: you know, So you have a bad tepe of the gig.
Speaker 1: It's really told in the comparison. But I feel like
Speaker 1: if I'm the one that's always saying that's I kind
Speaker 1: of like, oh yeah, fair enough, Yeah, bad child, I know.
Speaker 1: But then deep down times of them like yeah, man,
Speaker 1: i've seen someone leg chopped off. Man, this is nothing
Speaker 1: fascinating and so what so just tell me, So tell me. So,
Speaker 1: I know you started comedy as a hobby, you just
Speaker 1: wanted to try it. How did that happen? Yeah? Literally,
Speaker 1: people will be out during union people, Oh, Michael got jokes,
Speaker 1: You're funny, You've got a good banner about you. And
Speaker 1: I was all right, you know, all right, and I
Speaker 1: have witty one liner. So sometimes I'll be in like
Speaker 1: it's I say, I'm a group of friends and I
Speaker 1: will just try always come up with one liner, funny
Speaker 1: one liner, and I would take pride and sort of
Speaker 1: making people there laugh. I would enjoy it. So I
Speaker 1: think is that the people tell me, oh, you should
Speaker 1: try it, and I think it's twenty seventeen. I kept
Speaker 1: them thinking why not, you know, why not. Let's just see,
Speaker 1: let's just see the best way of finding out, in
Speaker 1: my opinion, because stand up, go in front of people
Speaker 1: that don't know who I am, don't have a scooby
Speaker 1: doo who the hell I am, and go in front
Speaker 1: of it. But I so I typed an open mic
Speaker 1: living in Ligernache at the time, and then I went
Speaker 1: to up the Creek, which is in London. But I
Speaker 1: didn't realize it was their blackout, so I which is
Speaker 1: the Gong Show if you're not not aware of it,
Speaker 1: where you have to try survive five minutes on the stake.
Speaker 1: I only found out when I got there and the
Speaker 1: MC was explaining the rules, so it was like do
Speaker 1: I chicken out or do I just find out? And
Speaker 1: I didn't out. I stayed. I lasted three and a
Speaker 1: half minutes, and I was like, there's something in this.
Speaker 1: And literally, that sort of desire to get a laugh
Speaker 1: from an audience is what I still chase all these years,
Speaker 1: Just that desire to make a whole room of rock
Speaker 1: from the laughter. That's essentially the bark I've got, and
Speaker 1: I still got it to this thing. Do you get
Speaker 1: nervous doing gigs during I still do. Yeah, I'll be lying,
Speaker 1: I'll still do. You still get a few sort of
Speaker 1: you know, carpetations, especially during previews now and obviously I've
Speaker 1: gone from getting up to the place of doing the
Speaker 1: club twenties to preparing for the preview do a whole
Speaker 1: for an hour, so you know, it's like you're in
Speaker 1: control for a whole hour. You've got to remember everything
Speaker 1: for an hour, So you get nervous that you're gonna
Speaker 1: literally keep you want to keep the energy, you want
Speaker 1: to keep it interesting for an hour. You want to
Speaker 1: keep me funny for an hour. And I guess that's
Speaker 1: the question in my comedy THREEO that I'm trying to answer. Now,
Speaker 1: can I be funny for a whole hour? And I
Speaker 1: guess in Edinburgh people will surely find out what time
Speaker 1: is your show in the court yard? Eight thirty five pm?
Speaker 1: So nice little evening time, So see see a few
Speaker 1: after you chose that's a little evening time. You're in
Speaker 1: prime time. You are the main event. That's it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: when they see the venue, it's a bit small, but
Speaker 1: it's small but boutique. It's a boutique venue. Let's bring thee.
Speaker 1: I'm down in the cellar. I'm down in the cellar.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna make it the comedy celler. We're gonna
Speaker 1: make it a comedy five down there. Yeah, that's a
Speaker 1: lovely clina down there. I hope Edinburgh Web. It's what
Speaker 1: I think Scottish Webb plays this part. I need Scottish Web.
Speaker 1: I don't need no London on the ninth of July
Speaker 1: weather that's what I don't need. That's very exciting, man.
Speaker 1: I hope you guys, well, thank you. And so what
Speaker 1: you've just taken a helmet to me? Yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: So it's like unpaid basically unpaid league. That's probably easy
Speaker 1: way of doing it. So, um, I just said told basically,
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to work. Look, no shifts, pay me
Speaker 1: and all like for dues. So it's kind of like
Speaker 1: going It's not a gamble, so to speak, but it's
Speaker 1: definitely like I'm giving it my all. I thought, but
Speaker 1: if you're going to do your debut, you've got to
Speaker 1: announce yourself. So to speak to the industry, you might
Speaker 1: just give it your all. You might as well as
Speaker 1: much as you sort of physically and financially sort of cant.
Speaker 1: So I thought, you know, I'm gonna gave it everything
Speaker 1: I've got, all bells and whistles, and then go there
Speaker 1: and see what happened, see what happened, and just have
Speaker 1: fun time, just anything, have fun, everything else that comes
Speaker 1: from it. You know, you can't really control. But my
Speaker 1: actually have fun. I'm a better comic, and naturally opportunities
Speaker 1: hopefully come from the Michael. That's great and everything, But
Speaker 1: I just realized that I forgot to tell you. Something
Speaker 1: hit me. I should have told you when you first
Speaker 1: came on the zoom. Actually, uh, and I've read about
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes in and I didn't take I'll just say it,
Speaker 1: and I guess we'll deal with it. Uh, you've died.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, you were dead. Dam was full of
Speaker 1: life and vitality. Oh my goodness, how is my bedside better? Horrific?
Speaker 1: The day that was terrible. We didn't even give me
Speaker 1: a warning shot or nothing straight for the imagine that
Speaker 1: I forgot to tell you. Oh, by the way, did
Speaker 1: you know the broom Reaper has been around? I didn't.
Speaker 1: I didn't left work to tell you. Oh goodness, how
Speaker 1: did you die? Do you know what? I died doing
Speaker 1: something I really enjoy it, and I died. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: want like a death, which is sort of like an
Speaker 1: unfortunate a paint rice, which is horrific. I would like
Speaker 1: to die eating an in an out burger, just you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. That's it, Yes, a good in
Speaker 1: an out burger, best burger ever in the world, in
Speaker 1: the world, it's the best burger in the world. And
Speaker 1: I think it's the best thing. Like every time I
Speaker 1: take a bite out of it, it's just like I
Speaker 1: just feel that Heaven has come onto my chest. But
Speaker 1: I can't explain it. Like when I went to la
Speaker 1: and hands some where, Where is this in London? What
Speaker 1: is going on? They're not like we like gluttony too love.
Speaker 1: How do they know? I don't know, man, it's it's
Speaker 1: mesasically when he sets heaven coming on your chest. I
Speaker 1: think there's a secret religious element to in an outburger
Speaker 1: and whatever it is, I'm happy to join because they
Speaker 1: so you're what you're eating in an outburger and chokes
Speaker 1: on it. Yeah, there's there's always rumored that that's how
Speaker 1: it always fun. I don't know if you went with
Speaker 1: in and out, but I literally just want to be
Speaker 1: having a double cheeseburger. I take a bite and I'm
Speaker 1: like the part those that's it arty just gets fully
Speaker 1: clogged and where we're just out of it. We're done.
Speaker 1: That's it. So it's not doesn't hurt much, not too much.
Speaker 1: I think I wanted to be a bike po then
Speaker 1: that's it, just my chest collapse. And if you want
Speaker 1: to be like him, do you want to down the
Speaker 1: toilet eating this burger? What circumstance you get where you're
Speaker 1: you're literally emptying your bottom but then putting more in?
Speaker 1: Like what what efficient system is that? Like? That's what
Speaker 1: I can't nderstand. Have you ever tried eating on the toilet.
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, have you it feels against God,
Speaker 1: doesn't It doesn't. There's meant meant to be again, there's
Speaker 1: meant to be a gap between one thing happening in
Speaker 1: the other. There's a continuous leap. It don't seem right,
Speaker 1: you don't see at all. So yeah, I've not I've
Speaker 1: not done it, but maybe maybe now you mentioned maybe
Speaker 1: I try. It doesn't seem logical, but you know, life
Speaker 1: isn't all about logica. Do you worry about that? No?
Speaker 1: Not really, I think then what I do? You don't
Speaker 1: you see it often more than a lapist. So I've
Speaker 1: kind of like I'm not prepared for death. Don't get
Speaker 1: me wrong at all, but I definitely I like to
Speaker 1: think I'm not as like, oh my goodness, death like
Speaker 1: because it's the cycle of life. I think in this
Speaker 1: country or in the world where we don't want to
Speaker 1: talk about it, we accept we're so happy to see
Speaker 1: baby born, but we never really liked to salk about death. Yea,
Speaker 1: and every time a baby's born were essentially guaranteed another death.
Speaker 1: I know that's very simiple to think, but that's essentially
Speaker 1: what we're doing. We never like to think about, like
Speaker 1: that we talk about life, don't have the mother that
Speaker 1: when you're when you're meeting the new baby, that would
Speaker 1: be too late. Now, well kind of that's going again.
Speaker 1: You don't have to be specifics on this, but I'm
Speaker 1: assuming you've you've been there when people have died. Have
Speaker 1: you seen things that have made you think there's more
Speaker 1: as in, you know, a soul and etcetera and things
Speaker 1: like that, or yeah, how do you feel bad? I'm
Speaker 1: definitely that I was. I grew up a Catholic background,
Speaker 1: I brought, brought Catholic and whatnot. Still still religious to
Speaker 1: this day. I definitely think there is an after life.
Speaker 1: How after life shape I do? I do hope there's
Speaker 1: a heaven. I hope I'm not being good for no reason,
Speaker 1: but like murdering, it should be good. Then let me
Speaker 1: let me go your serial killer, somebody do something, but
Speaker 1: get my name out there. That's one way to get
Speaker 1: Netflix special. But I don't definitely feel like you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: your body stays on this earth. I do think your
Speaker 1: soul goes up and depending on how good you've been
Speaker 1: on in my head, in my opinion, determents where'll go.
Speaker 1: It's just the finality when you when you sometimes see
Speaker 1: someone who's just passed away, they immediately they look like
Speaker 1: they're just sleeping, and it's just this weird sort of
Speaker 1: feeling of an hour ago you're with us, and then
Speaker 1: now I'm not, and it's just yeah, initially the first
Speaker 1: time seeing stuff like that, it's just a mind that's complete.
Speaker 1: Minds like wall like, I don't know if this is
Speaker 1: a question, and I don't even know if I can't
Speaker 1: ask it my last getting. If we don't like it,
Speaker 1: we can cut it. Have you have you seen like
Speaker 1: a good death where you were like I liked that death.
Speaker 1: Perhaps they said everything they needed to say, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like, did you see anything where you
Speaker 1: were like that was in the nice death? Yeah? Like
Speaker 1: I think I think a good obviously, I feel a
Speaker 1: good death is one where it's not a not a
Speaker 1: complete shock to the family. I think those where the
Speaker 1: family can make it to wherever the hospital or predominantly
Speaker 1: hopefully it's probably someone like a hospice in time I'm
Speaker 1: working with dominate the hospital. I don't see the hospice
Speaker 1: of often, but I definitely think based like hospice is
Speaker 1: where it's planned. It's sort of people in an it's
Speaker 1: going to happen, and it's more because hospitals are quite
Speaker 1: chaotic and stuff. I mean the worst sometimes the worst
Speaker 1: thing is you're telling a relative old you've got coming
Speaker 1: quickly because things aren't looking great and they're rushing in
Speaker 1: and stuff. Rather a case where everyone's had time to
Speaker 1: digest the information the person who's passing away is a
Speaker 1: where their families awhere, they're all around them, and then
Speaker 1: if they're holding their partner's hand or something like that
Speaker 1: as they go, that is they're not much. I don't
Speaker 1: think there's much in terms of parson. There's not much
Speaker 1: poetic from that. So yeah, yeah, I think that's if

Speaker 1: to you you about your life through film. And the first
Speaker 1: thing they asked, what's the first film you remember seeing?
Speaker 1: Michael Joy was feeing about this man, and I think
Speaker 1: in my house I had a lot of vhs or
Speaker 1: videos sort of things in the night. He's grown up,
Speaker 1: and I remember we had the video of the Mask
Speaker 1: and I remember, yes, yes, right him, carry, yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: what's the film and you'll see. I just remember the
Speaker 1: scene when he finds the mask and he's under some
Speaker 1: bridge somewhere and he picks up this mask and he
Speaker 1: puts it on and he can transform and then he
Speaker 1: goes all crazy stuff like that, and he's like this
Speaker 1: whacky sort of funny, sort of superhero sort of guy,
Speaker 1: absolutely hilarious. And I just remember then obviously the way
Speaker 1: the plot bowes, he's sort of fighting the bad I
Speaker 1: can't remember the bad guy's name is now, but the
Speaker 1: bad guy. And then the bad guy gets the masks
Speaker 1: and he turns into the huge Yeah I don't. Then
Speaker 1: they're fighting over Cameron Diaz and it's like, oh, my goods,
Speaker 1: why are they why always ambout fighting over a woman?
Speaker 1: But anyway, they're fighting over Cameron Diaz and then he
Speaker 1: wins and said, oh my goodness, the wacky guy one,
Speaker 1: and yeah, yeah, I remember a lot. Yeah that front,
Speaker 1: I guess that don't taught me that maybe right, they're wrong.
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to fight for your woman, that's what
Speaker 1: I took as like a five year olds And you're
Speaker 1: gonna have to be wacky doing it, that's whatever. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's not the cool guy that would. You gotta be
Speaker 1: whacky in silly whacky and silly wom all the time?
Speaker 1: Where we do you have siblings? Do you watch it
Speaker 1: with your siblings? And yeah, yeah, I've got two older
Speaker 1: brothers and one younger, so it must have been all boys,
Speaker 1: all boys. My mom tried for a girl and officials
Speaker 1: gave up after my little brother. When the fourth one
Speaker 1: came out, was he like, the fuck's sakes? Yeah, oh
Speaker 1: my good, what is going on? Why is he DNA winning?
Speaker 1: What's going on? Four? Yeah? No, no girls, Yeah, just
Speaker 1: like my dad's DNA being being a female egg and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. Yeah. So four boys, So you did
Speaker 1: you watched this together? All four of you? Yeah? Definitely,
Speaker 1: definitely definitely that that was that. That was our finger
Speaker 1: in the Max manual putting that on that. That film.
Speaker 1: I've watched it several times. It's one of the films where,
Speaker 1: you know, just a good, good old school Hollywood movie.
Speaker 1: Good guy, bad guy. They sort of compete. Good guy
Speaker 1: wins safety Day. It's a good film. I like to
Speaker 1: look at that film. I like the music of that film.
Speaker 1: I think it's a really it's quality that it's quality
Speaker 1: in a way it could have been quite average, and
Speaker 1: it's really it's got a style to it. What is
Speaker 1: the film that scared you the most? Michael Idea, Oh
Speaker 1: my goodness. I don't think you could be a millennial
Speaker 1: without being absolutely terrified of final destination, well, especially in
Speaker 1: your job. Jesus good, Oh my goodness, that film was
Speaker 1: absolutely terrifying, Like every time I see it, every time
Speaker 1: I drive pasts on the motorway, a row of logs.
Speaker 1: It's just the thing that it's just like, I just
Speaker 1: think that it's going to become loose, come through my windscreen,
Speaker 1: take off my head, and that's it. That's how I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go. I'm like, I'm not gonna have to inter
Speaker 1: and up burger. This log is gonna take me my
Speaker 1: film Outfall, and that is because of that film. That
Speaker 1: is because of that film. No, no chance? Yeah, yeah
Speaker 1: that's fair. Do you like being scared? What do you
Speaker 1: hate it? Oh? Good question. I don't go to theme
Speaker 1: parks as much as I used to Theme parks is
Speaker 1: where I go through that mental sort of barrow. You're
Speaker 1: going to thing about for me is battling my own demons.
Speaker 1: How scared? I'm scared. I'm going to do it. But
Speaker 1: I've been a bit risk conversed as I get older,
Speaker 1: maybe because I don't make enough time to go and
Speaker 1: be silly. But queen parks and like stuff I want
Speaker 1: to do. For example, I would love to jump out
Speaker 1: of the plane. Have you done that? It's one hundred
Speaker 1: percent than the number one thing on my list things
Speaker 1: I want to do is jump out. I've got to
Speaker 1: do it before before I leave. I've got to jump
Speaker 1: out of play. That is me battling my mental demons,
Speaker 1: like just being able to be like, you know what,
Speaker 1: this is crazy as help. I'm terrified, but let's just
Speaker 1: do it. Yeah, I love it. I love it. It's
Speaker 1: gotta be done before I leave this up. I got
Speaker 1: to do it. That and bundee jumping. Yeah, I'm more
Speaker 1: scared of bundee jumping than I am jumping out playing.
Speaker 1: I'm not scared of jumping out. I mean, we'll see
Speaker 1: how I feel when I'm up there, But in theory,
Speaker 1: I sort of feel like, oh, it's fine, you're so
Speaker 1: high up that you're If it doesn't work, you'll you'll die.
Speaker 1: You'll be fine. But with bundee jumping, if that guy's wrong,
Speaker 1: it's like you might die, but you'd Yeah. What about crying?
Speaker 1: What's the film that made you cry the most? Now
Speaker 1: you are cryer. I'm not a big cryer. I think
Speaker 1: the last time I cried proper was when my parents.
Speaker 1: When I graduated, my parents surprised me of a cart
Speaker 1: and I had no idea ran Aga. I'm not really
Speaker 1: serial sort of person, and I had the car. I
Speaker 1: had was happy with but then toprising me with like
Speaker 1: a Brandon car that so that was last one cry.
Speaker 1: I was quite a few years ago. But the film,
Speaker 1: I'm going to preface the film by saying that I
Speaker 1: was eight or nine, and that's very important context to
Speaker 1: what I'm going to say or nine and the very
Speaker 1: big film that came out essentially the End of High
Speaker 1: School musical The End of High School. Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1: So it wasn't even the sad part. It was joy
Speaker 1: rather than tears a sadness, and I think again typical
Speaker 1: sort of movie, Oh my goodness, Troy or whatever, Zachfone
Speaker 1: who played he wants to play basketball, play, he loves singing,
Speaker 1: and then he's battling this demon. Then he meets Vanessa
Speaker 1: at the end. Then they would come to do this,
Speaker 1: do it, and then left her faring fine. And then
Speaker 1: I literally had that part. I broken tears. I was like,
Speaker 1: it's so beautiful that true love, you can true love. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was like literally crying. I kept from the nest
Speaker 1: and they made love. That's beautiful, man, That's really you
Speaker 1: know what. I don't think that's ever come up in
Speaker 1: this podcast so well, that that's try to be unique.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm ashamed to go watch it back because
Speaker 1: I don't know if those floods or tears would open again.
Speaker 1: Holds up. I'm pretty sure it helps her. Oh that
Speaker 1: that got me, that it caught me off. Card, I was.
Speaker 1: I was a bit embarrassed, but'm like, noah, this this
Speaker 1: has caught me off. Card. We're watching it with your brothers.
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, I think I was alone. So that's
Speaker 1: why the tists even further though, like either de genuine
Speaker 1: like this is me. I don't think that was a target.
Speaker 1: Demographic wrote, what about what's the film that you love?
Speaker 1: Most people don't like it. It's not critics don't like it,
Speaker 1: but you think it's fucking brilliant. Everyone else is done.
Speaker 1: Do you know what it's not? I know some critics
Speaker 1: don't mind it, but it's basically the French tried was
Speaker 1: going on for too obviously most film French tried to
Speaker 1: get to back free. Then you sort of slow it down.
Speaker 1: But I am a fan of the Fast and Furious franchise,
Speaker 1: and a lot of people give it a lot of stick.
Speaker 1: A lot of people say, oh, you know, they're they're
Speaker 1: dehydrating that cow, they're milking. It's right franchise. You know
Speaker 1: you don't want a bet action. You know, good guys,
Speaker 1: bad guys. That's stop lot. You know. You know they're
Speaker 1: gonna get the bad guys in the end, and then
Speaker 1: they go on to a different mission. But it's good fun.
Speaker 1: You get you see some franc cars, you see some
Speaker 1: good action, you see some ship blowing up. What more
Speaker 1: do you want to learn about family? Every every week? Well,
Speaker 1: what's your favorite? First? And furious you have to pick mine? Oh,
Speaker 1: I mean one of the early ones. I think they
Speaker 1: have a one or two. I guess maybe a bit
Speaker 1: in a style they were all walker passing away, but
Speaker 1: definitely like the earlier because you didn't know where it
Speaker 1: ll go at the point you didn't know what the
Speaker 1: formula was. But I think definitely I have one or two. Okay.
Speaker 1: On the other side of this, what is a film
Speaker 1: that you used to love, You loved it, and you've
Speaker 1: watched it recently and I don't like this anymore for
Speaker 1: whatever reason. If this is the weird one, it's not
Speaker 1: actually the film that changed. It's my perspective of the
Speaker 1: animal of the film. So I didn't mind Ratter two
Speaker 1: when it came out. I didn't mind it. I thought,
Speaker 1: this is a cute little right you know, the rat
Speaker 1: to chef be cooking up in Paris. Only the French
Speaker 1: get away with making a rat chef like every any
Speaker 1: other country like that. This is a bullshit. Why we
Speaker 1: let this rodent r around? And then I guess I've
Speaker 1: been to New York. I went to New York just
Speaker 1: upon the pandemic, and I've seen the rats over there.
Speaker 1: I can't these rats will be on the subway checking
Speaker 1: your tickets. I said, I can't now see our rat
Speaker 1: now when we checking out tickets as this cute little
Speaker 1: rattitude chef. So now I can't attracted to the same
Speaker 1: way because I just buyse all right. So you you're
Speaker 1: happy to have to be a doctor and a comedian,
Speaker 1: but you won't let rat have two different jobs because
Speaker 1: they stay rodent, stay aroad. You can't be out here cook,
Speaker 1: but don't both exactly. You have a Gordon Ramsey or
Speaker 1: you're a rodent. You can't. You can't mix it up.
Speaker 1: That's really funny. Yeah, that's a fucking terrified when you
Speaker 1: see him. They are big, big old units. They you
Speaker 1: what put in those sewers that they're you're so like
Speaker 1: you just had them done time in prison? Like it
Speaker 1: come up? They wants me some rappers in some way
Speaker 1: down in the New York sewers that they all well,
Speaker 1: that's where Splinter came out of, isn't it. We've got
Speaker 1: us their leader and trained them out. I imagine they're
Speaker 1: all just fucking Hence, Now, what's the film that means
Speaker 1: the most to you? Necessarily the film itself is any
Speaker 1: good because the experience you had around seeing the film
Speaker 1: will always make it special to you. Michael, Oh, good
Speaker 1: question again. You rolling them out? Man? I think iron
Speaker 1: Man Free. I think it came out twenty thirteen, and
Speaker 1: this is specially to me. I think it's one of
Speaker 1: the first dates me and my now wife went on congratually,
Speaker 1: thank you so much. So we went in building Nottingham
Speaker 1: with us. How at UNI, there's a really sort of quiet,
Speaker 1: sort of budget student cinema called the Some Voice Cinema,
Speaker 1: and we put tickets there. But I think that four
Speaker 1: point of ticket very very cheap, quite good. But I
Speaker 1: put on all that fun with films and whatnot, and
Speaker 1: I remember we went there and then there was another
Speaker 1: couple who I think we're on their first date that
Speaker 1: we knew, and I remember she pacifically didn't want me
Speaker 1: to call them over, but obviously, me being me, I
Speaker 1: called them over and we sat next to each other
Speaker 1: the whole film. She was so pissed off and she
Speaker 1: hated the fact that put them oment. She felt so uncomfortable,
Speaker 1: And I'm happy they did because there that couples also
Speaker 1: now married, and we're now married to Kennedy. I did something.
Speaker 1: I sat up a marriage train. I don't know what
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pull it, but I don't marry train, so's terrific.
Speaker 1: But I sat up something. Did you enjoy the film
Speaker 1: where you stressed? Because she was stressed. No, I was
Speaker 1: on cooring the film that started a great film. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was applorded the film, so I think I was.
Speaker 1: I was like, no, we're here now, paid the money,
Speaker 1: let's enjoy the entertainment and we could do all the
Speaker 1: ramifications of my stupidity later. So that was kind of
Speaker 1: like my ruster that I have to say. I don't
Speaker 1: want to you know, Pylon on this one. But she
Speaker 1: was absolutely in the right. If I mean, there's another
Speaker 1: person with you at the cinema, bringing two more into
Speaker 1: it Jesus Christ, she married you, Where did you get
Speaker 1: clearly she saw She's also thinking my stupidity in my
Speaker 1: you know, not doing the right things at the right time.
Speaker 1: When did you get married? Twenty twenty which is obviously
Speaker 1: the best, the best year to do anything of a
Speaker 1: large function, So we were planning this whole big where
Speaker 1: they got decimated by COVID. So we've done a little
Speaker 1: sort of registry sort of thing, and they were meant
Speaker 1: to be one in twenty twenty one, but then that's
Speaker 1: when they brought out the tear sort of system. So
Speaker 1: we literally missed the cutoff quite a few months. So
Speaker 1: we don't know when or if we'll do a big function,
Speaker 1: but that's on the to do list. But I spent
Speaker 1: all the money on Edinburgh, to be honest, but we
Speaker 1: need weddings off, babe. I'm going to the cool Yeah,
Speaker 1: go into the cool. Yeah, Yeah, come to the Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's quite nice. So yeah, that money's all up in
Speaker 1: jokes in Edinburgh. I's on a doorable somewhere out of that.
Speaker 1: So I still love you. I love you very much
Speaker 1: and I really want to celebrate I love but can
Speaker 1: I do it on stage with a paid audience. That's great.
Speaker 1: What is the film that you most relate to? Michael
Speaker 1: Aca theory. I've got to answers to this my film.
Speaker 1: When I saw the first Okay, I'm gonna first day
Speaker 1: get out, but I don't really relate to get out.
Speaker 1: I've not been in the gut situation. But the honest truth,
Speaker 1: the honest truth, And obviously I know that the creative
Speaker 1: person in this film, it's very much disgrace now. But
Speaker 1: I think when Kidulthood came out, I definitely thought that
Speaker 1: was probably one of the first films that I saw
Speaker 1: and I thought, Okay, this has probably been made with
Speaker 1: me in mind, or people that look like me, or
Speaker 1: people from a sort of background similar to me, be mine,
Speaker 1: because obviously I'd very much used to the sort of
Speaker 1: American big block, bust, Hoywood films and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: And obviously I'll go I enjoy a Hollywood film as
Speaker 1: much just the next person. But it's I thought that
Speaker 1: the first film that I've written like with someone in London,
Speaker 1: someone that's young from London in mind, which at the
Speaker 1: time just think you guys. In the sixth Day came out,
Speaker 1: I hadn't seen many films designed like that. I obviously
Speaker 1: I've seen Johnny English and stuff like that, but I
Speaker 1: don't think Johnny written with me in mind. So the
Speaker 1: first film that's this is this is actually I've been
Speaker 1: in the full process here, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, for sure, that makes that's a good answer.
Speaker 1: I would also, I'm sure if you asked to make
Speaker 1: the Johnny English they would also say they were thinking
Speaker 1: of exactly. We were thinking of everyone exactly. A good
Speaker 1: film like that. What is the sexiest film you've ever seen?
Speaker 1: I don't think this film actually a setsy sort of film,
Speaker 1: but I think set to the big feeme in it,
Speaker 1: and definitely watching it when I was younger, I think
Speaker 1: it came out to you as the ones are still
Speaker 1: sort of eight nine or something like that. When it
Speaker 1: came out, I was like, is this what? Being a teenage?
Speaker 1: Just like because I'm ready to be one, and I
Speaker 1: had that's to say, American pie, American pie obviously typical
Speaker 1: frat boy sort of colleagues, sort of American sort of
Speaker 1: style humor, and I always remember that stiff La scene
Speaker 1: when he's moved the two young ladies and he just
Speaker 1: resumed they were lesbians and then they played on that
Speaker 1: fact that they made him kiss with his friends and
Speaker 1: they were just egging him on, and I just kept
Speaker 1: you know, when I saw that, I kept book kid,
Speaker 1: this is his fantasy? And is this what every teenage
Speaker 1: point folks about? And I was just looking, is this
Speaker 1: one's gonna be a teenager? Let's see what I'm like?
Speaker 1: You know that, Let's I'm like eight or nine year old,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be like that when I'm just saying, there's
Speaker 1: all this freedom, all this crazy stuff you'd be doing.
Speaker 1: And what happened when you became a teen edge? Were
Speaker 1: you like, yeah, right, I was in books, starting to
Speaker 1: become a doctor. It was nothing like that. Contrast like
Speaker 1: I'm living by Charister who That's what it was. A
Speaker 1: very different film, very different film. That's the different FLM.
Speaker 1: The next question is troubling bynus worrying why I don't
Speaker 1: what's the film you found a rousing that you weren't
Speaker 1: sure you should learn something odd and there's there's a
Speaker 1: method to the madness here, but I age and the
Speaker 1: reason there's gonna be there's answer. Please explain every This
Speaker 1: isn't sound a big graphic. I don't know what the
Speaker 1: age rages on. This podcast is adults everything anyway. So
Speaker 1: I think every man when they're you know, doing the business,
Speaker 1: they've got an image that they use when they don't
Speaker 1: want to finish. Yeah, every man's got the image. Every
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna talk, but every man's got their image.
Speaker 1: My image is a is a penguin, wasn't it. So
Speaker 1: I've got an image of a penguin. And when I
Speaker 1: see that, that makes that gives me an extra minute.
Speaker 1: So every time I see I sage, I just see
Speaker 1: the penguin. I think that's me giving myself an extra minute.
Speaker 1: So that's why it gives funny. So you are always
Speaker 1: associating it with sex, even though it's it's to make
Speaker 1: you sort of well, to make you stop finishing sex.
Speaker 1: So it's your lengthening of it's it's literally socially, but
Speaker 1: it's the elongation of it. This is that that's an extrament.
Speaker 1: I don't if I think of a penguin one thing,
Speaker 1: because there should be anything sexual about a penguin walking.
Speaker 1: But for me, so I use that, I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: an extremnute. Just think about that, don't about nothing. Don't
Speaker 1: think about American. No America no American pack waddle. That's
Speaker 1: really good to me. But also technically, penguin is keeping
Speaker 1: you hard. So love that. That's what these penguins do
Speaker 1: to me. That's what they do to me. That's maybe
Speaker 1: in Antarctica. Oh you know, I'm mad that's going down.
Speaker 1: You've got a copy of Merchant the Penguins hidden under
Speaker 1: your bed. They fucking keep on, Martin, you love me penguins?
Speaker 1: What what is objectively? Thank you for answering that question
Speaker 1: very properly. Not many people do. What the film that
Speaker 1: is objectively greatest film of all time? Oh? Oh objectively?
Speaker 1: This is a difficult one because even though I'm answering
Speaker 1: all these questions different films, I wouldn't say that I might.
Speaker 1: I'm a crazy film goal. I don't go to say
Speaker 1: I'm not like money people. I go sitting my every
Speaker 1: sort of month. But I the film I saw and
Speaker 1: I was like, this is amazing. This. I stood up
Speaker 1: and applauded. It has to be Avengers End Game. I
Speaker 1: saw that, so I said, this is amazing that they
Speaker 1: had everyone. You can see all the Marble characters from
Speaker 1: here then everywhere, and everyone's trying to defeat for this
Speaker 1: guy got when he got all the all the stones,
Speaker 1: all the infinities. Oh my goodness, it's done. It's done.
Speaker 1: And then and then obviously in that he kills them
Speaker 1: to kill the Iron Man, that Rob Downey man, he
Speaker 1: had to go. And this is the film that brought
Speaker 1: me and my wife together. That sad the way my
Speaker 1: marriage look like the film. But like he's yeah, I
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, this is this is amazing. It is amazing,
Speaker 1: and it is amazing as a culmination of everything they've
Speaker 1: done out steps. It's it's it's quite a feat that film.
Speaker 1: And it is very moving. It's it's very moving at
Speaker 1: the end. It's quite something. It is quite something. What
Speaker 1: is the film that you could or have watched the
Speaker 1: most favor in? Dav Condan again? Oh this this this
Speaker 1: ball Brad good memories man, And I'm gonna have to
Speaker 1: go watch it again soon. Big film in the late nineties,

Speaker 1: my goodness, just hilarity from start to finish. And I
Speaker 1: love it because a lot of stuff now like I'm
Speaker 1: like that you can't say that, but it's funny as hell,
Speaker 1: and it's like, I love it because everyone got it,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Like it's it was not
Speaker 1: one of those ones where, oh, you know, that group
Speaker 1: got a lot more than another group. Everyone was getting
Speaker 1: everyone's getting their mud slang in different sort of places.
Speaker 1: So that that's why I really like it. Yeah, it's funny,
Speaker 1: the accent is great, it's good stuff, good stuff, good banner,
Speaker 1: good good banner. Lots of rumors and more more Russian.
Speaker 1: I'll take it literally literally, like them to the hilaric art,
Speaker 1: just chef kiss banging. We don't like to be negative
Speaker 1: on there, so we'll do it quickly. What's the worst
Speaker 1: film you've ever seen? The worst film? I just you
Speaker 1: know what it is. I'm gonna I'd like to think
Speaker 1: I'm an intelligent guy. I do. I do a high
Speaker 1: pressure job. Comedy got me intelligence, do comedy, all that
Speaker 1: type of stuff. But every when it comes to films,
Speaker 1: give me a simple plot. Give me you know, good guy,
Speaker 1: bad guy, they fight, someone wins the d That's how
Speaker 1: I like my films to go. This film was too
Speaker 1: intellectually challenging for me, and I zough. Now this film
Speaker 1: is called inception. I did not understand what Suage was
Speaker 1: going on in this foom then did you dream one?
Speaker 1: Dream too? But then he got lost and dream one
Speaker 1: to no dream four? What are you talking about, Leo?
Speaker 1: What the hell he is caring on cut explaining to
Speaker 1: this day I don't understand for me, but was from
Speaker 1: too confusing. I just want to I want to see
Speaker 1: some guy punching up, beat up the bad guys. Leave
Speaker 1: it as that none of this, man, have you ever
Speaker 1: tried Tenant? Did you see Tenant? No? No, don't manage
Speaker 1: Tenant to me not so longer when I Preparnah. But
Speaker 1: if it's anything like that, Nah, it's like twice as
Speaker 1: hard to follow, if not more, I need to film that.
Speaker 1: It's just A to B. Well. Tenant's like beta a
Speaker 1: A to b B to A to B, So you're
Speaker 1: having to follow something backwards and then forwards and forwards
Speaker 1: and backtars at the same time. It's so complicated. My
Speaker 1: poor little brain was melting, and I was like, I'm
Speaker 1: sure this is excellent action, but my head hurts. It
Speaker 1: hurts much chinning. Just it shouldn't it really shouldn't been
Speaker 1: like that isn't mind boggling, absolutely mind boggling. What about
Speaker 1: you're in comedy, you're a comedian, you're an excellent one too.
Speaker 1: What's the film that made you laugh? I hate, I
Speaker 1: hate to go back to something I already mentioned, but
Speaker 1: I couldn't ask wrap him my brain. I want to
Speaker 1: be you know, keep everything individual and separate stuff, but
Speaker 1: I have to go rush hour. I think, are you
Speaker 1: were reminiscing a joke that other day, Like there's a
Speaker 1: bit where Chris Stucker's running down the stairs and then
Speaker 1: there's obviously a Chinese lady that rushed him and says,
Speaker 1: move out the way, Kobe, And it's like, what what
Speaker 1: it's so wrong? But I find it's it's literally, it's basically.
Speaker 1: But I still just lines to that everywhere, and I
Speaker 1: thought to us, I was searching. I was like, nook,
Speaker 1: let me see who who who wrote this film? So
Speaker 1: if there's all these jokes here, let's see you wrote
Speaker 1: this film, and let's see the screenwriter. And it's just
Speaker 1: now he's a bit older, obviously some middle aged white guy.
Speaker 1: I said, this guy had all these Chinese and black jokes.
Speaker 1: This some white guy that wrote it. Absolutely that was
Speaker 1: very funny. That's what I was also funny that that
Speaker 1: made the foot very funny to be well, great, do
Speaker 1: you think he was unset and Chris Tanger would be
Speaker 1: really reading the day's scene again looking at him you
Speaker 1: write this, Okay, yeah, okay, you twenty million dollars, Michael,
Speaker 1: you didn't have been wonderful. I'm thoroughly enjoyed this very much. However,
Speaker 1: when you were in La you went to your favorite
Speaker 1: restaurant in and out Burger quite rightly, and you got
Speaker 1: double double animal cheeseburger protein style burger. You would just
Speaker 1: come from the airport. You hadn't had a toilet in
Speaker 1: the airport, so you wait. If you you got your burger,
Speaker 1: but then you're also desperate for the toilet, so you
Speaker 1: nip into the toilet. You sit down, ready to expel
Speaker 1: the day's work from the but also you can't wait
Speaker 1: for you and an outburger, so you open it up
Speaker 1: and you you take a bite and it's like heaven
Speaker 1: coming hard on your chest and as you swallow it,
Speaker 1: you it fills your arteries completely, close the fully and
Speaker 1: for about four seconds it's not very nice, and then
Speaker 1: you collapse dead slightly into the toilet. Now I'm in
Speaker 1: in an outburg. You're also a big fan. And I'm
Speaker 1: also trying to find out what what the religion is.
Speaker 1: That's that I can join it, so we can eat
Speaker 1: in and outgers. Let me know, let me know, and
Speaker 1: probably won't get struck by that. You'd be fine anyway.
Speaker 1: So I so I are you go in and I
Speaker 1: eat my burger, sat at the table, and then I'm like,
Speaker 1: where's Michael. I heard Michael like this place? Where's he?
Speaker 1: And I'm looking around. I can't see you anywhere. I've
Speaker 1: got my coffee with me, you know what I'm like,
Speaker 1: And head into the toilets and the like the cubicles
Speaker 1: like a lot, and then I see someone's in a bit.
Speaker 1: They're very quiet in there, surprisingly quiet. A bang and
Speaker 1: You're like, oh, Michael, you're in there? Nothing, Michael, are
Speaker 1: you in there? Nothing? You're like, is that Michael? Which
Speaker 1: is not Michael. It's be embarrassing anyway. I kick in
Speaker 1: the door like a like an l a cop, and
Speaker 1: there you are. You're in the toilet bowl, your legs,
Speaker 1: your legs are folded into your arms. You're squashed right
Speaker 1: into the bowl. You're now sealed into it. And I'm
Speaker 1: like oh no, this is awful, and so I get
Speaker 1: a few people can come help and pull them out,
Speaker 1: and you're like sealed into to the toilet. We all
Speaker 1: pull you out and there you pop out of the thing.
Speaker 1: But you are a mess. You're a messmate, It's a disaster.
Speaker 1: So I end up getting some knives, have to chop
Speaker 1: you up because there's not enough. There's too much of you.
Speaker 1: Now there's water retention. I don't have to chop you
Speaker 1: up anywhere. I put all the bits of you into
Speaker 1: the coffin. But there's more of you than I was expecting.
Speaker 1: And the coffin is absolutely jam packed, and there's I mean,
Speaker 1: it's so full, there's only really enough room in the
Speaker 1: side for me to slip one DVD into the side
Speaker 1: of you. You just take it across to the other side.
Speaker 1: And when you're there, it's maybe night every night. What
Speaker 1: film are you taking to show the people of heaven
Speaker 1: in Chick fil a Heaven? When Heaven? This is a
Speaker 1: good one because the first thing I wanted to fruit Russia,
Speaker 1: But then I think, imagine if I would fill a
Speaker 1: heaven and showed them passion of Christ. Mind fuck for
Speaker 1: everywhere there heaven he got to the back of the
Speaker 1: screening room going. I said, I didn't like this. I
Speaker 1: tried to make it clear, but they kept making it.
Speaker 1: I really really watching what he tried to stop and
Speaker 1: Jesus is there guy, And this isn't how it was,
Speaker 1: This is not right. That would be maybe I would
Speaker 1: definitely take practice christ in my coffee. That's great, that's
Speaker 1: really good. I thought you've been wonderful. I fairly thoroughly
Speaker 1: enjoyed hanging out with you. Thank you for your time,
Speaker 1: you're here, Thanks for having me on. Is there anything

Speaker 1: people comes to visit. Maybe that's an annoying day. I
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe anyway, is that a good day if
Speaker 1: it's just a leader hypermiact coming and then there's nothing, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it doesn't. It doesn't grind. You get one or two
Speaker 1: you can. I think I've got one or two hypochondract
Speaker 1: limits per day. Like person, what it starts grinding, you
Speaker 1: get one or two, you do another another, so oh
Speaker 1: what are we doing here? It becomes like a kind
Speaker 1: of a bit frustrating. But you know, everyone limits in
Speaker 1: a way you want there to be a problem because
Speaker 1: then you've got ship to do. Yeah, exactly, exactly you want.
Speaker 1: That's why people like pediatrics a lot, because children genuinely
Speaker 1: don't want to be ill or don't have musually, don't
Speaker 1: have any or three remote when they're unwell, they're unwell,
Speaker 1: and they're a problem that you've got to tease out.
Speaker 1: Obviously they may not always verbalize it too, but you
Speaker 1: know they're all but adults. Sometimes there's sometimes in all
Speaker 1: two remote, so you know, they may not always be genuine.
Speaker 1: There may be another reason why they're in hospital. They're
Speaker 1: trying to get off work, so that's why there is.
Speaker 1: I don't work with children a lot, but I do
Speaker 1: miss that affect of working with kids, so I've been
Speaker 1: infective in it. I guess, oh, that's all meant to
Speaker 1: new being a detective. We're just trying to solve what
Speaker 1: what's the diagnosis. It's all like comedy. You're trying to
Speaker 1: solve what's the best way to get to the laugh?
