It's too hot and couldn't sleep, so I went for a walk from Notting Hill to Central London. I saw Colin Firth get an Uber, and definietly popped up on the radar of the Russian Embassy by accident. I talk about my first gig, first fights, and some blue plaque stuff too. Come to The Gladstone Arms at Borough on March 9th for a gig with Huge Davies and Peter Flanagan!

My jaw operation was a success, and I'm able to talk again without dribbling all over myself...what a time to be alive! This week's guest is documentarian and host of the hit podcast "Into The Wild" Ryan Dalton. Before his life in all things nature took hold Ryan was a standup comedian, and we shared many a terrible open mic stage in the greater London area when we started out. I talk to him about the decision to quit performing comedy, and how he found himself in Namibia investigating ethical hunting. Please listen to his great show "Into the Wild", and follow him on Instagram @intothewildpodcast

I'm back from a week in Bahrain and chatting nonsense yet again! Thanks for listening; don't tell Trump I was slagging him off, I might need a visa soon ❤️

Hope you all had a great Christmas/Hanukkah/New Year and are ready to hit 2026 right in the dick! I'm at home and getting some absolute top-tier Dad-lore (did you know the Newry Pies Factory was involved in the US Military industrial complex? No? Me either! There's a Patreon exclusive episode this week too so have a look there for a rant to end all rants on public decency.

Merry Christmasssss! The absolute freak show fights from this past weekend gave me the idea to chat about my favourite, most awful, fights in history as well as what happens when a regular gym bro thinks they can beat up a heavyweight champion of the world.
