2:39
I don't mind or leave them on. Leave them on.

So you had to travel to get here.
3:19

Was it at the viewing of the the show?
3:47
I came to to see you do stand up.
3:50
Oh, the the election show, Yeah. The election show, yeah.
3:53
I do this show on the US election which now.
3:57
It was interesting. I learnt a lot about elections
4:01
and the US system. Don't try to be serious.
4:09
On me. Come on, I did not try to talk
4:13
about politics, but oh you I did.
4:17
Yeah, thank you. I did learn quite a bit because
4:19
I'm not interested in US, you know, politics.
4:21
Well, it's just something I used to do, yeah.
4:24
So I thought I would do it. I mean again.
4:27
Do what you know. Do what you know and the rest
4:30
will follow, right? Yeah.
4:32
Swim in the sea and you'll drown tomorrow.
4:36
Yeah. I don't know.
4:39
You can drown anywhere. You really can.
4:42
The bath. You could swallow too much water
4:46
and drown, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
4:49
If the thing doesn't close, you know the the valve.
4:52
Don't get technical on me. I hate it when you throw out
4:55
those terms. The thing in the thing.
4:59
The valve, the drinky valve, yeah, it closes when you drink
5:02
so it doesn't go down your into your lungs.
5:05
But you know what the biggest thing for drowning is?
5:08
Is panic. That's why.
5:10
That's me I I panic. Have you ever almost drowned?
5:13
Yeah, when I was younger. When I.
5:16
Went swimming with my, with my, with the people in my class and
5:20
they threw me in the deep end. Are you serious?
5:23
Yeah, and literally they were watching me drown.
5:25
And you didn't know how to swim. I can't swim.
5:27
I can swim a tiny bit, but I panic and then I let all the air
5:31
out on my lungs and then I yeah. Do you still resist?
5:34
Trauma from that moment. Was that traumatic for you?
5:37
Yeah. Oh, I'm so sorry I did that.
5:41
This is like therapy. It's great.
5:43
Do you ever run into those people and you go, hey.
5:47
I've seen, yeah, I bumped into one when I went back to visit my
5:50
parents and I was like, I'm on telly.
5:55
Did any of them apologise? No, of course I didn't.
6:00
Well, maybe they were doing, you know, how you do a A and you
6:04
have to go and apologise. Just call up all the people that
6:08
yeah, no, it's right. It's.
6:11
Bad about that, it's. What it is, it just makes me
6:15
scared of water. I don't wash.
6:18
I've washed since I was like. Is that what that smell is?
6:23
I thought it was a rancid raccoon.
6:27
I've got like, I've got like giant industrial wet wipes that
6:32
on a big sheet that I just kind of get in my house and then I
6:36
just roll myself in them and then roll myself out again and
6:38
I'm washed. Yeah, they're pretty hardcore.
6:41
Like, I'm sorry, I had no idea I was going to bring up, I was
6:45
going to dredge up all of this stuff.
6:50
That was like, that was like 5 years ago.
6:54
Tell me some other things about no.
6:58
I can't eat Pickles. You can't no Pickles.
7:03
You don't lose out much. It's just what is a pickle?
7:06
Anyway, I would like to know, like I've heard a lot about
7:09
Pickles. So you had to travel to get down
7:16
here? Yeah.
7:17
Yeah. But you don't mind.
7:18
Don't mind? Yeah.
7:21
Now, of course, you and I go way back on the Bush.
7:27
Now this is just for those people that don't know because a
7:32
lot of people don't know anything that.
7:35
In life. They don't know how to eat ice
7:39
cream. They don't know how to do a lot
7:41
of things. What are crisps?
7:42
Yeah. What is crisp?
7:47
They do this. Oh, mouth they put.
7:52
Yeah. They think it's pat a patch.
7:55
Quit smoking. Help better crumble.
7:59
Mccoys. Some vinegar.
8:04
So for those who don't know, we did the the Mighty Boosh and I
8:12
was just trying to think when I I was about to have you on, when
8:17
did we first meet? Do you remember that moment?
8:20
Well, you. I when I used to come to
8:22
Edinburgh, Edinburgh Festival when I was a teenager and you
8:27
were in. Just to smoke.
8:29
When you were in the Mighty Boosh, the first live show. 98.
8:33
Yeah, yeah, 98. So yeah, I used to.
8:35
My parents used to bring me to the Edinburgh Festival to
8:39
support. Now what?
8:41
Cool parents, but. Yeah, they're the coolest.
8:43
Parents. You have the cool, by the way.
8:46
You have the coolest parents. They they're they're legend.
8:49
Legendary. Legendary.
8:50
Yeah, legendary. I mean, I feel like my parents
8:56
aren't even parents compared to your parents.
8:59
They're like blocks of wood, you know?
9:06
Your parents are always out there.
9:09
When we were on tour, they were at the parties.
9:12
Yeah, yeah, very supportive parents.
9:15
They're cooler than. Me.
9:16
They're cooler than me. Do you feel like you have to out
9:21
cool them sometimes and you can't?
9:23
I can never out call them. So they would take you and then
9:29
you saw the show. Yeah, then yeah.
9:31
So we could saw the show, saw some other show.
9:34
Did I? Talk to you.
9:36
I think you did, yeah. I didn't slap you, did I?
9:38
You. You kissed.
9:39
You kissed me a bit. Around the knees.
9:43
Yeah, I knew it. Knee kissing.
9:46
I just, I just remember hanging out with you and Sean Cullen and
9:52
like loads of other people. But yeah, you and Sean Cullen
9:54
were the ones that stood out. Oh, OK, OK.
10:01
For for the kind of. What the hell?
10:05
Who are these people now joking? Because, you know, when we did
10:10
that Unnatural act show, we work kind of Julian and Null
10:16
approached Sean as well, and Sean was doing a show in
10:21
Edinburgh and couldn't do anything.
10:24
Yeah, because we, yeah, that's why we saw because he, I think
10:27
he was doing Dame Sybil, I think.
10:29
Yes. And then we hung out after and
10:32
that and then they go, well, that's I think that's where Noel
10:35
met Sean, I think. Yeah, yeah, there's so much
10:38
going on. I know those days are like.
10:42
Those days are gone. When you we used to stay in the
10:45
Pleasants courtyard, like all night.
10:47
I'd love that, Do you remember? That that weird cafe bar place
10:51
the pasta bar, which was like VIPs only and it was really
10:55
tiny. Was that where you would get
10:58
Pecora and stuff? Yeah, yeah, it was a weird
11:01
place, but it was like a weird room to have the VIP bar in, but
11:05
that was in the Pleasants. But then later on they moved
11:08
over to the university and that weird, that weird, that weird
11:11
club with their books. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:14
Weird. You can name any place VIP for
11:17
the festival and people will think, oh this is cool.
11:20
Yeah, yeah. But yeah.
11:23
So that's where we met. I'm.
11:24
In a swamp. I'm in a rubber ring.
11:28
This is VIP. Yeah.
11:30
Yeah, so we hung out and then I saw you next in London, right?
11:39
When did you move out of your parents?
11:41
I moved to Australia when so I. Remember this because.
11:46
Do were you in Australia when we were to Melbourne?
11:49
You and Pete. Yeah, you were doing AI think
11:51

11:53
I was doing you around there I think.
11:55
I think I was doing mom. I'm not a lawyer.
11:58
Yeah, yeah. So the first, the first time
12:02
Noel and Julian went over with Bush, I don't think you were
12:07
you. They did auto boost but I while
12:10
they were doing it I was doing my show.
12:13
Yeah, because I. And I was saying let me in.
12:15
Me and Pete went and then we kind of hung out.
12:19
No, actually, I went on my own without Pete the first time.
12:24
Because I yeah, because me. I Remember Me and Emma, we we
12:27
flew together and then. Nobody knows anything, sorry.

OK, we're catching up. We're catching up.
12:47
We're shooting this shit. I'm allowed to say shit.
12:52
Yeah. Anyway, so we went.
12:54
I went over for the first. Because I remember I thought
12:58
this is so cool you guys are hitchhiking and.
13:01
Yeah, that was yeah, the So then no one junior took the show over
13:05
again the year after with the second show, Auto Bouche.
13:08
Yeah, with Dave. And then that was with me and
13:11
Pete. We we came over, we left our
13:14
parents. That was 2. 1000.
13:16
We left our parents, moved out move and went to the Comedy
13:20
Festival and then when everyone left we then we backpacked
13:23
through the centre in the East Coast.
13:25
I never really talked to you about what you did after we
13:28
left. Did you guys go all over?
13:32
Yeah, we got on the Greyhound bus and just ended up in really
13:35
weird places in the Outback, and then we did like.
13:38
Welcome to Woop woop. Wow, weird.
13:40
And then we did. We stayed in some weird places
13:43
and then. Did you go to Uluru?
13:47
Yeah, yeah, we went to Uluru. Yeah, that was insane.
13:51
The rock itself is insane. Yeah.
13:56
You're climbing up. What?
13:57
Do you stop laughing at me? The rock just swears at people.
14:01
Oh shit, did you climb up the rock?
14:04
No, you went. We went loud because someone the
14:07
the, the, the people, the the, the local people.
14:12
Local people wouldn't let anyone climb it that year because
14:16
someone someone fell or something.
14:20
Someone was pushed. Yeah, I didn't go out there,
14:23
baby. Yeah.
14:24
Oh, so did you guys want to go up and you?
14:27
Probably wouldn't have to be fair, but but then yeah, we did.
14:30
We travelled for two months and then we then we got back to
14:33
Melbourne and I worked at the Hi-fi bar where we did our show.
14:36
That's right. And the old hi-fi bar.
14:39
Yeah, it's not there. Hi-fi, it's not there anymore.
14:42
No, they sold it, but Brad, Brad sold it.
14:45
Remember, sometimes we'd be there all night and then they'd
14:49
lift up the thing and the light would be.
14:51
We'd be like vampires. That was pretty much went all
14:56
the time I went there as well. It was like that we'd have lock
14:59
insurance after our shifts and and then just like I've been in
15:04
how? Many customers would you get.
15:06
We had different nights, so the first night my first shift was
15:10
literally. Firm tonight it.
15:11
Was a it was a ghost night. It was a gay and lesbian fetish
15:15
night. So that was my first shift.
15:18
So I turned up and there was all these like guys in leather and.
15:22
Now, Michael, you will get whipped, but give them drinks.
15:27
It's all right. So that was an experience.
15:32
Yeah. So yeah.
15:34
Had you bartended before? No, no.
15:37
So I was mainly collecting glasses and then also on the
15:40
cloak room. But but yeah, it was fun though.
15:44
I mean it was Monday under the table.
15:47
Yeah, yeah. Can I say that?
15:49
So where and you stayed with friends and stuff in Melbourne?
15:52
No, we just, we just got a flat in when in Saint Kilda.
15:56
Yeah, we we rented a flat. What, so?
15:59
Saint Kilda's a bit away, though.
16:01
So, yeah, so you know, the road you go, that kind of where the
16:05
trams go up towards the botanical gardens.
16:07
You take the train. We used to we then we used to
16:10
walk all the way home to our walk after I shift.
16:14
Yeah, we just walk it. See that the trams were young.
16:18
Trams weren't running. You do stuff like that when
16:21
you're young. Let's run back.
16:24
Yeah. So how long were you in
16:28
Melbourne for? A year.
16:31
What a time. And then I didn't cut my hair
16:34
the whole time. So when I got back, my hair was
16:35
like Naboo's hair. So then when I got and Noel sent
16:39
me the scripts for the pilot when while I was out there and I
16:43
was doing this on pilot, Yeah. Get ready.
16:46
Yeah. And then when we got back, we
16:48
started doing rehearsals of the hen and chickens.
16:50
But my hair was Naboo's length hair.
16:55
And then he was like, yeah, we got the pilot, we got the
16:58
series. And then I got over excited and
17:00
cut my hair. And then that was like, what are
17:04
you doing? You've cut your hair.
17:05
That was like, oh. My, he was so mad at you.
17:10
I know he was so, but then obviously they made a wig of of
17:13
my old hair not not using my old.
17:15
Hair. But it's better that you do
17:16
that, right? Yeah.
17:18
Yeah, it all worked out. But yeah, so.
17:21
Because a lot of people think that is your hair.
17:25
They do, I know. Yeah, so it's like the Wizard of
17:28
Oz and you take it off and they go no.
17:32
I actually put it back on. It ain't.
17:35
So short hair, Naboo and short hair.
17:43
That's same thing with me. They didn't know that I was so
17:46
skinny in real life. Yeah.
17:48
And Bob fossils a lot bigger because I was padded.
17:55
No, but so I remember. I remember we were doing stuff
17:58
and then you came and everybody was like you came back.
18:01
Yeah, yeah. Oh, that's so wild.
18:04
And then you lived in London. But then, yeah, then I lived in
18:08
South where I moved. I was still in South London, but
18:11
I, yeah, I moved. I was living in Tooting.
18:13
Tooting. I remember that.
18:15
I like Tooting. You love Tooting.
18:18
I like Tooting. There's an old pie mash up
18:20
that's been open at 100 year over 100 years.
18:23
I always go pie mash, and I used to go and get pie mash all the
18:26
time. Yeah, I close it now.
18:29
See, everything you go to closes eventually.
18:33
That's your whole life. Story This is the last episode.
18:36
This is it. This place is shutting down.
18:38
Yeah. Excuse me?
18:41
That's all right. I got your present.
18:45
Do you Do you want to do this in public?
18:48
Yeah, I got your present. I hear you've been looking
18:51
looking for this guy for years. Oh, thank you.
18:55
He's a Swedish Swedish producer. Does this mean we're engaged?
19:01

19:12
Thank you. He won't stand up, but I will.
19:16
Maybe. Please, please stand up Swedish
19:19

19:21
been looking for a frog on a tyre with legs for a light for
19:25
10 years. This is great.
19:27
If I get it to stand, I'm going to be so happy.
19:31
You could do this. Oh, that's great.
19:34
But he might go backwards and going to drink, it's fine.
19:45
Leave him, he'll be fine. Thank you.
19:48
Did you go to Sweden? Oh, OK.
19:51
I bought it off a guy in an alleyway.
19:55
Was he clothed? No.
19:59
He's covered in butter. So what was your, what was your
20:02
whole thing when you, when you were, were you always going to
20:07
be like a finite time in Australia or was it like, oh
20:11
this boosh thing, I might as well do this?
20:14
So. In other words, how much of this
20:20
was planned and how much of it was?
20:22
Like, well, but my trip to Australia, yeah, we planned it.
20:26
We we planned it for a bit. My, I told my dad and my mum.
20:28
I told my dad 1st and he didn't believe me.
20:30
But as far as you knew, you could possibly still be out
20:34
there. Yeah, yeah.
20:36
No, I could. But you could only get a year
20:38
visa. A year.
20:39
One year. Visa.
20:40
No, but I we got our visas and then literally 2 days later they
20:44
brought out the two year visa like God.
20:48
But to be honest, a year was enough.
20:50
But after a year I'd had enough. I was homesick and I'd run out
20:54
of money and. But it was paradise for the time
20:57
you were there. I robbed a few banks, you did.
21:03
I just talked to somebody that did a criminal activity.
21:07
Everybody on this podcast has some kind of nefarious thing
21:11
going. On I used to steal staplers.
21:15
I'd love to take office supply. I used to be a temp, you know,
21:20
so I'd work in an office and I'd go.
21:22
I'd just be talking to someone and taking post it notes.
21:27
So where did you go last week? Yeah, Gregory, I've got those
21:31
account details for you. So you came back and right?
21:43
Yeah. Away away we did Italian
21:45
chickens for households. Remember this when my suit used
21:51
to be brown? Yes.
21:54
Yeah, the first time I wore it, it was brown, and it took a
21:58
while before it became blue. Well, it just went blue.
22:04
It's like a mood. Watch just yeah, I put a blue
22:07
socket in the wash every time and then it gradually goes blue
22:10
just like. But I would have loved to have
22:13
gotten a hold of that brown suit.
22:15
I don't know what happened to it.
22:17
That sounds wrong. I want that brown suit, I want
22:23
to sniff it. I want to sniff that Brown's
22:25
head. So that but that I'm just trying
22:31
to get myself in your head. This must have been a surreal
22:35
time for you. I.
22:36
Was so weird, I was so scared because I hadn't done anything
22:39
before. Nothing.
22:40
Not even a school play. No I wasn't.
22:43
Weird thing is I was not in any school place because I was so
22:46
shy and had no confidence. You never did a one man show
22:51
about Alexander the Great or anything or?
22:53
No, I did. I wrote a monologue about peas.
22:56
But. It didn't go.
22:58
Anywhere. It was off Off Broadway, right?
23:03
I didn't do much performing in in school.
23:06
But I was so scared. I was so like just had no
23:09
confidence. But when you know at school,
23:11
when I don't know if it's the same in the States, but you get
23:14
to I think year 9 and you have to choose options.
23:18
What where you have to choose subjects that you want to do,
23:21
right. I wanted to choose drama because
23:23
I really wanted to, but I've not been in any school plays and I
23:26
was too shy, so I went. I did media studies instead.
23:29
Isn't that funny? Yeah, and that's funny how I got
23:32
into it later on. Can you hear him?
23:34
Yeah. I got into it later on.
23:37
Don't what this? What are you directing?
23:40
So that's so cool that you wanted to do it but you were
23:44
shy. Yeah.
23:45
But did you think that going into the programme would get you
23:49
going? Well, yeah, Of.
23:50
Course, I yeah, I mean, I can't watch series 1.
23:53
I can't watch myself. I'm like really?
23:56
You can see how my confidence grows from season 1 up to the
24:00
like season 2 and 3. You say that, but it looks like.
24:04
You're a start. But for me, I can see myself.
24:09
I'm like, now I'd be like, Oh no, I'd probably deliver it like
24:14
a bit like that rather than what?
24:16
It's just me. Anyway, yeah, you take notes and
24:18
stuff. I remember before the 1st taping
24:22
I had diarrhoea. I had massive diarrhoea and I
24:26
didn't, I was almost thinking of calling in.
24:29
Oh really saying is there any way?
24:32
And then I took Imodium, yeah. Oh yeah, that would seal that.
24:36
Right. By the way, people, that does
24:38
work. Seals it right up, yeah.
24:41
Yeah, and I think maybe that helped because it took my mind
24:46
off of I was kind of nervous. Yeah, there's something worse
24:49
and all you can think about is that.
24:52
Or if you've got a really bad pain, all you can think about is
24:55
the pain. Do you remember your first
24:57
scene? That's a long time ago now.
25:03
I remember mine was with Howard. It was the one where I talked
25:06
about playing golf. Oh, yeah.
25:08
Oh, no, we did the pilot. We did.
25:11
Oh, we did the pilot first. We did the pilot.
25:14
Yeah. Oh my God.
25:15
And you can tell that I was new to the game because.
25:19
Because we filmed it live, didn't we?
25:21
Yeah. And I did my, we did my scene
25:23
and I stayed there for for ages. You can get off.
25:28
Now going Mike, you can move. Now I I was literally standing
25:33
there and there was like no one else around.
25:34
I was like, and like, you could see the crowd like looking at me
25:39
because they could see where I was as well as there was another
25:42
scene going on and then you're going.
25:44
And then someone came up and went you can, you can go.
25:47
I was like, oh, OK. Then you walked into the other.
25:50
Embarrassed. That was so embarrassed.
25:53
Oh, the days now look at you. I know the season pro.
25:58
Fuck off, everybody. My one person show.
26:03
Fuck off, everybody. So yeah, we did the pilot.
26:09
I remember. Yeah, Matt and Dave.
26:12
Yeah, Matt Lucas and Dave Wines were in the audience.
26:14
I could hear him laughing. It was so much fun.
26:18
And then the pilot got picked up.
26:22
Yeah, then we did. I think then we didn't we go
26:25
back to doing. More live stuff.
26:28
More. Live stuff.
26:29
And then I think Baby Cow came to see us hand and chickens, and
26:32
then that's when we got the series, I think.
26:34
Yeah. Or was it our way round?
26:36
Did we get the pilot? Did we film the pilot on the
26:38
backyard? I don't care anymore.
26:40
I don't care. I I think we did it.
26:45
I know. So do you ever get, do people
26:49
ever come up and say particular episodes to you?
26:53
Yeah, they've. Always got a favourite.
26:55
Favourite Naboo lines and Naboo bits?
26:58
Yeah. What overall though is the best
27:02
bit that I mean? The time and again they say the
27:06
most I'm. Going to have to turn my back on
27:08
you or they go, go, go, can you turn your back on me?
27:10
I'm like. Why I'm I'm having an operation?
27:15
I'm on the chain, like, OK, yeah, yeah.
27:18
I'm getting married. I'm having sex.
27:24
I'm inside the womb, but that doesn't make sense.
27:30
I'm about to kill someone. I'm about to kill a homeless
27:34
guy. I'm skiing.
27:38
Open pit BBQ. Sauce to get your voice going.
27:41
Yes, we used to do that. That was a ritual, wasn't it?
27:43
That was a ritual. Yes.
27:48
And remember on tour we would always go into Spain and play
27:53
LED sound system. Yes, yeah, yeah.
27:57
You get you get into these things like.
28:00
I didn't know that it really works to do the same thing
28:04
before every show. Yeah, yeah, definitely.
28:07
Yeah. And then we knew that we were
28:10
going to go on stage soon when we were well, the curtains are
28:13
going to open when we when we had Tusk.
28:17
Oh yeah, with Matt. And then we'd all be dancing
28:23
backstage. And I remember this, I think I
28:26
told somebody else on the podcast, this was all pre phones
28:30
where you could film things. Yeah.
28:32
And I remember one year I got a flip phone and I was filming
28:36
people. One of those little flip.
28:38
Yes, I have one of those. Yes, we both had one and it was
28:42
so weird. Yeah, that was our only footage.
28:45
Do you still have that footage? I think I don't know if I still
28:48
have the flip things. I wonder if you can still use
28:51
the, I mean put them on your. Probably it was just Ausb wasn't
28:56
it? It used to flip up and then you
28:57
just plug it in. Yeah, but come back flip phone.
29:02
They were cool, now people just use their phone.
29:05
Like phones are everything now I know.
29:08
But. I like it that that was the only
29:11
thing it did. It's a flip phone.
29:14
Oh no, mine didn't mine. Mine was I could order order
29:18
takeaways on mine. Oh yeah, mine did stop crime it.
29:21
Was the kind of the 1st. Delivery.
29:24
Yeah, it's funny how much shit you can do on a phone now.
29:29
Why that you can do everything? Everything.
29:33
Almost everything. So what about when we first, OK,
29:37
so we did the filming and then what about the first time we
29:41
went on tour? It was York.
29:44
Oh my God, York. Remember I was talking.
29:46
About York because I'm. I'm doing a paranormal
29:52
investigation show you are. Yeah, next year and we're going
29:56
to go. On the ghost.
29:57
Tour, There's four of us. A really good friend of mine.
30:01
Sorry I've I've detoured. You know you plug away if you
30:04
want to plug and not talk about the boost that's.
30:08
Fine. No, it's fine.
30:09
Well, we can come back to the paranormal.
30:11
It's fine. We'll come back to the
30:13
paranormal. No, but York is known for ghosts
30:16
and shit. What do you remember when I was
30:18
in York and we put? You got this feeling?
30:23
I I had to. I couldn't go in my dressing
30:25
room because some there was a negative force that didn't want
30:28
me in. There, I remember this and I
30:29
stupidly laughed. At and I said, can I come to I
30:32
knocked on everyone's door. Rich, can I can I share your
30:35
room? And you were like fuck off.
30:37
No, I didn't. Say that the only person that
30:39
shared their room was Dave Brown.
30:42
I said I'm having sex with myself.
30:44
If, if, if out of all of us, if if there was one person that I
30:48
thought would would not let me in their room, it would be Dave
30:51
Brown. But he was the only one that
30:52
did. Did I not let you in?
30:56
But if anything, it was because I was too nervous.
31:00
If anything, I think you have the cheers.
31:03
Oh yeah, I probably did. That's my natural.
31:06
Reality. No.
31:07
No, no, I I think I knocked on David's too fast.
31:12
Oh right, OK, it's but I remember you sitting getting
31:15
this. But if that wasn't the only
31:16
theatre, you would go into a theatre and you'd have a feeling
31:20
immediately. Would you remember the pop in on
31:22
the Yorkshire Moors? And I, I basically went in and I
31:25
started shaking and sobbing and I was channelling a teenage girl
31:29
for more times. Do you remember?
31:31
That was because I had broken up with you.
31:33
Well. Yeah, but do you not remember
31:36
that? And yes, yes, we were supposed
31:38
to have tea and scones in there. And I was really excited.
31:40
And then I got in and you walked out.
31:42
My surroundings changed in there to like war times.
31:46
And then I was, I had the emotions of a of a teenage girl.
31:49
Weren't your parents there? No, no, no, just in a pub.
31:53
OK, so and then somebody you walked out I.
31:56
Had to be dragged out or some people took me out to calm down
32:00
and then after a while and I tried to go in again and it
32:03
happened again. So is this why you're doing that
32:06
show I'm. What they call sensitive so.
32:08
Empathic. I'm an empath as well, so
32:11
spirits spirits. You are an empath?
32:15
I didn't know that. So a really good friend of mine,
32:19
he's a filmmaker. He made his first short horror
32:21
film, I, I Sent It to You. Oh yes, I did see that.
32:24
That was so cool. You're in hell.
32:26
We yeah, we got loads of when we got a short listed into quite a
32:29
few. What do you want, a brownie?
32:32
Film festivals and won a few awards, so that's pretty cool
32:35
for his first first. That's great.
32:37
First short film, What do we call We've Been The film's
32:41
called Go to Hell. For those who want to see it, go
32:44
to hell. I'm not sure when it's going to
32:46
be I'll. Tell you the title later.
32:48
Because it's it's still going running through the film
32:51
festivals, but yeah, but yeah, so the guy that the guy that
32:55
wrote it and made it, we've been friends for like 20 years and
32:58
he's making a new show about we're doing a basically a
33:02
paranormal investigation show. So we.
33:04
Is it a show? On what?
33:07
YouTube we we're not sure where we're going to put it yet.
33:11
We're going to there's, there's different, different kind of
33:14
choices. But yeah, we start shooting next
33:18
next month. And so you're gonna go to
33:21
different places. I just four of us.
33:22
So there's me, my best friend Tiff, who is she?
33:29
She takes photos in like abandoned, like mental asylums
33:33
and things like that, but. They like infrared photos.
33:36
Or just all different. All right, so she's in always
33:39
in, you know, she's always been into that kind of stuff.
33:41
And then there's a medium Charlie, who's who's she's she's
33:46
she does a lot of investigations, but holy crap.
33:49
And then there's the game. Who's the filmmaker.
33:51
So we're all four of us are going and.
33:54
Is it going to be narrated by you?
33:57
We're all doing bits to camera and then also we're going to be
33:59
like basically be staying overnight in these locations.
34:03
Aren't you going to be scared? Well, yeah.
34:06
You couldn't even stay in that pub.
34:08
That's part of the thrill, though.
34:10
Oh my Lord. Yeah.
34:12
So we've we've, we're doing like.
34:15
Who's doing the research on all this?
34:17
We're we're we're doing the research and we're going to do
34:19
interview some of the locals that about the the place and
34:23
that. And then so we're going we're
34:25
doing I think we're doing a pub. We're going to do some woods.
34:28
We're. Going to do crazy.
34:30
A prison theatre? A cinema.
34:34
What about AI mean? This is kind of obvious.
34:37
A graveyard. Yeah, we want to try and get a
34:40
graveyard, but it's. Cold though, yeah.
34:42
Yeah. But yeah, now I'm really excited
34:44
about it. It's going to be so cool.
34:46
And we, you know, we're going to stay overnight, get locked in
34:48
there, stay overnight. What about inside a toilet?
34:51
Would you ever stay there? Inside a toilet.
34:53
Yeah, that's where the ghosts hang out in the in the in the
34:57
ship park. Yes, yeah.
35:00
What is the most? I know this is silly.
35:03
What is the most haunted city in the UK?
35:06
York is pretty haunted. Edinburgh.
35:08
Edinburgh. We're gonna definitely gonna be
35:10
sealed. Off areas of the city.
35:13
With the city, you know, there's a city underneath the city.
35:16
Yeah, there's, you can go to some.
35:18
It's called Mary, Mary King's Close.
35:20
It's basically it's a city, a whole city underneath Edinburgh.
35:24
How do you get permission to stay down there?
35:26
You can go down there. They do tours down there.
35:28
I went down there when I went. Oh, and just sort of sneak off
35:32
and things down. There, that's where they used to
35:34
go and hide when the plague was around and that.
35:37
And steal bodies. Yeah, that's Grey Fires
35:42
Cemetery. Because if you wanted to be a
35:44
Med student, right, you had to get a cadaver and they would
35:48
have cadaver Steelers. Yeah, yeah.
35:50
Well, yeah. There's the there's the the
35:53
legendary back in hair that used to back in the day.
35:57
They were like known body Steelers, weren't they?
35:59
Body snatchers. And what about that song Abra
36:02
Cadaver? I want to reach out and grab
36:06
her. You've just ruined that song.
36:13
For me, I'm sorry. I love that song.
36:15
Here you are doing a serious ghost thing and I'm so how many
36:20
episodes? Are we're going to do between
36:22
6:00 and 8:00 for the first series and then we'll see, see
36:26
what happens, see what if you know.
36:29
No, I know you don't plan for these things, but what would
36:32
happen if, say, one of you died during the filming?
36:35
I mean, I'm my, I've got, I'm really excited, but the only
36:38
worry I've got is that I, I don't want to get an attachment
36:41
because I, I could know my luck. I would.
36:44
But one of the crew with Charlie, she's she's a medium
36:49
and we're going to do some some protective prayers before we
36:53
like go in and before we leave. Will you film that?
36:57
Oh yes, we're going to everything.
36:58
Everything. I want to see those protect.
37:00
Everything's going to be filmed and then literally we'll roll.
37:03
We've got 4 cameramen or three cameramen as well, and then
37:06
there's four of us as well. What would a protective prayer
37:09
sound like? Please let me use a condom
37:13
today. I hope that the ghost doesn't
37:17
have sex with me. Is that it?
37:21
I'm trying to understand. Yeah.
37:25
Please pull out. And is this where kids probably
37:33
can't watch it? Can't.
37:35
I, well, I mean, kids really shouldn't be watching paranormal
37:39
stuff should do it. Really.
37:40
No. What?
37:41
What's it called? Do you have a title?
37:43
On it, yeah. Haunt me if you can.
37:44
Haunt me if you can, everybody. Yeah.
37:47
Oh, thank you for coming, Mike. It's no, no.
37:54
Haunt me if you can. We've got a whole, we've got a
37:56
whole premise for the show, but we can't go in.
37:58
I can't go into that. Yeah, until we, until we've.
38:02
I like it. Because yeah.
38:04
I think you need a narrator though.
38:08
And and right. Yeah, we're going to have a
38:12
sign. But yeah, we, I've been, we've
38:19
been like, we've got loads of like ghost equipment and that
38:22
and cat balls and you know what? Cat boys, right?
38:26
Cat Ball? What the fuck?
38:28
It's one of those flashy cat toys, but Oh yeah, they flash up
38:32
when when anything goes near it, but so a lot of investigations
38:36
so we. You said I'm prepared for
38:40
something that might happen. What?
38:41
What's going to happen, you think?
38:43
Well, we don't. We just don't know.
38:45
I mean, I could get, I mean, I'm hoping I don't get possessed.
38:48
I doubt I will, but you never know.
38:51
Well, what if you do? Would you go on as that person?
38:58
I'm Tom. Dylan from the 15th.
39:00
Century I am now taking over haunt me.
39:04
If you can, if that happens, I'm going to do a one man show as
39:07
that person. Wouldn't that be so cool?
39:10
Yeah, that's so. Cool.
39:12
Film it, Yeah. And then you could play it
39:15
later. Yeah, yeah.
39:17
You could do Edinburgh or. That's, that's the, yeah, that's
39:20
that's the big worry. But also if I get like I don't
39:23
want to get an attachment and take it home with me.
39:27
Is anybody else in this show as empathic as you?
39:30
Are so just. It's just me, just me and
39:33
Charlie. Yeah, Tiff's, Tiff's very
39:37
sensitive, but I think. Tiff's a son of a bitch.
39:44
But but yeah, it's just mainly me and Charlie, so it's going to
39:49
be interesting. I can't wait.
39:50
It's going to be so much fun. I've always wanted to do an
39:53
investigation show because I was obsessed with like most horny.
39:56
I envy you and. All that stuff.
39:58
I went to Zach Bagans Haunted Museum in Las Vegas.
40:03
Oh yeah. And they said right before you
40:05
go in, right, We've got a haunted doll.
40:07
Whatever you do, she's called Peggy.
40:09
Whatever you do, don't look her in the eye.
40:12
I don't. So what do I do when I go in
40:14
there? You touch it.
40:16
I'd literally look her in the eye for 10 minutes, right?
40:19
So nothing happened. Nothing happened until the next
40:23
room I went in. I started feeling really sick.
40:26
I was shaking. I felt like I was going to pass
40:28
out and I was like, I couldn't speak, I was mumbling.
40:32
Because you were eating vindaloo.
40:33
I was eating noodles and the staff had to Take Me Out the
40:37
staff entrance and then as soon as I got out I would project.
40:40
I vomited in the car. No, we got another one.
40:44
Yeah. Looked her in the eye for 10
40:46
minutes. You did.
40:49
I know. Yeah, yeah.
40:51
So they weren't messing around. No, they weren't.
40:54
She's a she's. She's a dangerous one.
40:58
What about when we went? There was this pub in York,
41:03
Nottingham. Oh, Nottingham I.
41:05
And there was a haunted ship in it.
41:08
Oh, OK, yeah. I think it was called the
41:10
Jerusalem or something, remember?
41:13
And they said if anybody touches that ship, they they may die.
41:20
I think I touched it. I knew it.
41:25
No. You're not real.
41:27
Why? I was.
41:28
I was afraid. Imagine if you were actually
41:31
Spirit and I was doing this podcast.
41:33
And it comes out later that I'm not showing up and Kenny has to
41:39
keep putting in my image every time.
41:43
Well, we've never been on Rich died in 1961.
41:46
Oh my. God, Can you believe that?
41:50
You wouldn't have even been born then, would you?
41:52
Actually, no. What about have you ever had any
41:56
other experiences just say living around here and you know,
42:03
like, does it have to be a special place?
42:05
You go to or place with history. I mean, I yeah, I don't really
42:11
see much stuff. I feel it more.
42:13
I have seen a ghost once. I saw a figure in Wimbledon,
42:17
but. Oh, that was Yvonne Lendall,
42:20
Yeah. Yeah, but Mark, my partner, he
42:23
sees, he can see spirits and he sees them on the tube.
42:26
But when we're in the underground, he'll.
42:28
So now vodka, he'll see like, yeah, yeah, he'll see like
42:34
Victorian ladies of the night or children like running on the
42:37
platform looking for their mummy and.
42:40
Vividly. Yeah, he'll see them.
42:42
And will they talk to him? He sometimes they tug at his leg
42:46
and his trousers and stuff. Now is this at late at night or
42:52
like just? Whenever we're on the tube.
42:54
Why would it happen on the tube though?
42:56
Because it wasn't around during Victorian times.
43:00
I don't know. Who knows?
43:01
It's weird, isn't it? He wants attention, doesn't he?
43:07
No, I'm just kidding. I mean, I, yeah, so I mean in
43:11
Edinburgh there was a few, few little children like tugging leg
43:17
and stuff, but it's always children.
43:21
I. Think it's funny how in
43:23
Edinburgh though, because there was the plague they would seal
43:28
off sections. Yeah, of course.
43:30
And lock them down there. And a lot of people, they did it
43:33
while they were still alive. Yeah, there's got to be some bad
43:38
juju. And also there was a lot of
43:40
people, there was a house down then under the underground city
43:44
and then back in the day, if they wanted to use any, if
43:49
anything was painted green to get that green colour, it had
43:52
lead in it, the paint and a lot of houses were painted green.
43:55
So a lot of people, some people in that city, they died of a few
44:01
of the fumes from the lead. Oh yeah, because we didn't know
44:04
about that. No, but it's quite interesting.
44:08
There was a whole house and it's still down there and you can
44:10
walk past it and it's all still painted green and you're not
44:14
allowed to go in there because it's rare.
44:16
It's really toxic. Some people would argue that
44:19
that may have given you the idea of ghosts lead, right?
44:25
No, Yeah, definitely. Yeah.
44:27
But people, people used to think, yeah.
44:29
Because, you know, the theory about witches in like Salem was
44:33
they were eating mouldy bread, which gave you hallucinogenic
44:38
properties. Anyway, back to comedy.
44:44
No, no, this is so cool. This is so.
44:47
I didn't know you were doing all this.
44:50
I'm doing that and also I'm doing a, I'm doing a, I'm doing
44:53
a thing about time travel. It's basically the creator.
44:57
He's basically it's about him climbing, climbing a mountain on
45:04
a mission with his late mother's hand painted wardrobe.
45:10
So basically he's like a. Huge.
45:12
Yeah, on his shoulder or on his back, but he's.
45:15
I wonder what that was. So yeah, it's a ghost.
45:19
It's a pom pom. It's a ghost testicle.
45:24
And I play the voice of kind of, of, of reason.
45:28
And so when, when there's a group of them going up this
45:31
mountain and, and when they get a bit kind of tired and fed up,
45:35
I'm, I'll pop up and give them some like wisdom and, and, and
45:39
just get them made and carry on. Out of the mountain, you just.
45:42
I'm not sure how they're going to do it, but yeah, I'll be the,
45:45
I'll be the the friendly voice to to, to help them along the
45:49
way. Did you ever watch the old
45:52
Batman? Yeah, Yeah.
45:54
When they're climbing up and then somebody would open up a
45:57
window and, like, say something and it would usually be like a
46:01
celebrity, like, hey, Batman, what are you doing?
46:05
Yeah, But. But yeah, so I'm doing that.
46:08
That's exciting. Is that a film or?
46:11
AI think it's going to be a pilot, but first of all, and
46:15
then I think they're going to, yeah.
46:17
Yeah, and you're so busy. I know I'm not doing anything.
46:23
You're making noodles on. You.
46:24
I'm making noodles every Thursday, you know that?
46:27
I invite you. All I get is this.
46:31
No, no. I love this.
46:35
I just realised don't, yeah, don't, don't do, don't do things
46:39
with that. I just realised.
46:43
Sorry I'm. Shaking, I'm OK, I'm only
46:45
kidding. So you're doing those and what
46:51
you said you might be doing a show, an hour long show.
46:56
Yeah, yeah. But I think you should about
46:59
Frisbees. That would be so.
47:01
Cool, Yeah, could do. Why don't you?
47:06
I am writing, I'm writing a pilot with my a good friend of
47:09
mine. She's stand up and she she's
47:11
very good. Do we know Natalie Celebi?
47:13
Natalie Celebee, her name is, she does she's done stand up and
47:17
she's this house, this house some nights.
47:20
But we we got together and we're writing.
47:22
We're writing, writing together. We've been writing for a year or
47:25
so. It's just hard to find time to
47:28
write and actually have a life and.
47:32
It's hard to do a regular schedule.
47:34
Yeah, we finished the first draft, which we're really happy
47:38
about. But so we're just kind of, we're
47:40
going to look at it again and then and then maybe, yeah.
47:44
And then pitch it. I'll read it, pitch it, yeah.
47:46
But yeah. So basically.
47:50
You know the pitching is always a problem, isn't it?
47:52
The heart. The heart, well, now it's
47:54
changed. It's all like you need a pitch
47:56
deck and everything. I know, yeah, you need to get on
47:59
one of these pitch deck programmes.
48:02
Yeah, you need, you need to write a programme about about
48:06
pitching the programmes. Yes, exactly.
48:09
It's just the thought of it is it makes my mind tired.
48:16
So. So you're doing loads of stuff
48:19
and do you have anything planned for next year?
48:26
I mean other than when you start doing the ghost then so the.
48:29
Ghost thing. We start with the first week of
48:31

48:34
Who says Jan? What?

Right. Yeah.
49:06
They are. I call you rich, not rich.
49:09
What are your text messages like you like all abbreviation?
49:14
Like a murderer's no. Cover your tracks.
49:19
I watch you sleep now that I do I do abbreviate some stuff yeah.
49:24
I hate predict predictive texts so absolutely how is the bank
49:28
because some I that someone that we've.
49:31
We want to turn it off. I don't.
49:33
I don't always read what I've put and then I've send it and
49:36
go. Oh my God.
49:37
It's changed it to Dick or something.
49:41
Or I'm not a nun with the Dick. Yeah, I don't mean potato, I
49:46
mean. Yeah, you know, I meant Spud I.
49:49

49:55
I really hate it. And it just does it
49:57
automatically. I'm like no please.
49:59
So I was going to ask you this as an aficionado of the, you
50:06

50:13

songs on on online and stuff. Yeah, he is.
53:52
And then but yeah, he's he's so it's very surreal.
53:57
And when I watched it, it made me miss filming boost days like
54:01
the boost days it made. It brought me back to that
54:04
because it's very surreal bits in it.
54:06
Anything out there now remind you of the bouche?
54:11
That. OK, now, Michael, of course you
54:16
know this. Yeah, there's a section of the
54:19
show called Fill in the Blank. Oh yeah, of.
54:22
Course. All right, now I'm going to ask
54:24
you these questions. You don't have to be funny.
54:26
Oh, you're getting serious. You're putting your glasses.
54:28
On Well, that's just me. My ideal Christmas holiday would
54:34
be inside a blank A. Toboggan.
54:41
A toboggan? Oh, that would.
54:43
Be you know, the ones that you can, you can.
54:45
Curl. You can go fast or slow or yeah.
54:49
Blank is the scariest food I ever had.
54:58
It can be a Christmas food. Does it have to?
55:01
Be since no it doesn't. I beetroot.
55:05
I'm scared of beetroot. I can't.
55:08
I'm. Juicy.
55:09
Yeah, it petrifies me and also I ate it accidentally once and it
55:13
makes me a bit violent. Why?
55:15
I don't know, but I started getting really really angry.
55:18
Is it because of the colour I? Just don't know something
55:21
happened, enzymes or something. But I felt really crazy and
55:25
really. Can you get the beetroot?
55:28
Come on. So if I was ever a boxer or a
55:32
wrestler, I think that's what you would eat before.
55:34
I would I would eat beetroot before and I like it's.
55:39
Like Popeye? It's like Popeye.
55:41
Imagine if like someone like started like attacking my family
55:46
or something and I had to be a bit kind of, I would just have
55:49
to have like emergency beetroot. This is the most excited you've
55:53
gotten in the show. More than Ghosts, Yeah.
55:58
I would say do a show about Beet.
56:00
Word as well. Why not is?
56:02
This a new Popeye? Yeah, you just say.
56:06
It. Just goes red and then.
56:13
I can only touch one thing for a holiday meal.
56:17
This is the this is the premise. It's got to be blank.
56:22
So I can only eat one thing. No touch one thing.
56:27
Brussels sprouts. I like them.
56:31
People hate them, but I actually love them.
56:33
I had some good ones the other day when they put a like a sauce
56:38
on it. Yeah, yeah, I love Brussels
56:40
sprouts. My body doesn't but.
56:44
That's interesting. You're full of surprises today.
56:49
The last time I called someone Beaver Balls was blank.
56:59
Last Wednesday in the post office.
57:03
Oh yeah, they're so slow, aren't they, I.
57:05
Hate it. People are so slow, just people
57:08
in general. And there's a guy like looking
57:11
at the rulers, like really enthusiastic.
57:13
And I was like, fuck. Off Well, here's the problem
57:16
though is. But but what's it?
57:18
What's it got? Beaver balls.
57:20
Beaver balls. Get your Beaver balls up there.
57:23
Yeah, stop looking at rulers. Stop licking them.
57:25
But here's the problem is you put it near the queue so that
57:30
you're looking at them while you're in the queue and.
57:32
Then that's how they get you. Same with supermarkets, they put
57:36
all the fresh stuff at the front.
57:38
So you can feel it, Yeah, my guilty holiday treat is.
57:46
Doesn't have to be food. My guilty holiday treat is.
57:50
Some old 90s dance. Yeah, yeah, I love it.
57:55
Yeah, yeah, some. My 90s dance music are.
57:59
You going to do karaoke? What is karaoke?
58:03
I don't know, I heard it's Korean.
58:07
I don't know. I like slash hate Santa because
58:13
he's. Oh, he's, I don't know, he's a
58:17
Welk, no. That's why no kids watch this.
58:25
Santa's a welk, an old welk. You heard it from.
58:29
The sea from the salty sea. A salty sea.
58:31
Welk. No, he's a person.
58:36
Is he really? Who knows?
58:39
Have you? But you've never really
58:41
connected with Santa, have you? What do you mean what we went
58:46
out? I've been on a date with him
58:47
months we didn't get on. Were you both unhinged?
58:51
Yeah. Well, he didn't have.
58:54
He didn't tell me he was Santa. Oh.
58:57
Yeah, I turned up. I was out for I.
58:59
Was I need to be honest? Why?
59:00
Didn't you say you were Santa? If I was Santa, I would be proud
59:04
that I'm Santa. He just said likes travel.
59:06
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm a giver.
59:09
I I I wondered why I had so many pictures of him with reindeers.
59:14
Yeah, Yeah. I thought you just like going to
59:16
Finland, You know, you told me you had a toboggan.
59:22
That's what sold it for me. Like we've got to do this more
59:26
often. OK, No way.
59:28
No, that's. It.
59:29
No. Yeah, we do.
59:30
There we do. It's it's the end, it's plug
59:33
time if you have any further things you want to plug.
59:38
Just my stomach. No, just know.
59:43
So yeah, the paranormal thing is kind of weird.
59:46
Are you going to film it and then start?
59:48
We're going to, so we're filming, we're filming
59:50
throughout the year, next year and then we're going to release
59:52
them. So we're going to release them
59:54
in October time and and make it so that the last episode is on
59:59
Halloween. Because I want them to all be
1:00:01
out as you do them. No, no, we're going to we're
1:00:05
going to film them all right. And we got because.
1:00:08
OK. Maybe the second series, if we
1:00:11
do another series, we'll do that.
1:00:12
But because we're still getting, we're still going to be getting
1:00:15
our bearings on it. Yeah, I know.
1:00:17
And maybe you'll find new things that's.
1:00:18
How it's going to go? But I I like the the drama of
1:00:22
you doing it's going. To be great, it's going to be
1:00:25
all different. All four of us are so different
1:00:26
as well. And but we've, it's going to be
1:00:30
really good. Like we're, we're going to work
1:00:33
out. We found, we found some really
1:00:35
interesting ways of, of investigating ghosts.
1:00:38
So like that because so many people use the same methods.
1:00:41
So we're gonna use, we're gonna use some different methods and
1:00:45
also some. Really.
1:00:46
Like I was improved by the ghost community.
1:00:50
I'm a bit concerned about this. I don't know.
1:00:57
But yeah, so, so that obviously the, the, the time travel thing
1:01:01
I'm doing. And then also if anyone, any
1:01:04
booze fans want some signed and the blueprints, just message me
1:01:09
on Instagram. If you're if you're true booze
1:01:12
